0:20
Number 6 Good morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry
0:23
And from Northern Silicon Valley Where everyone's talking
0:26
about the fog The Fog!
0:29
I'm John C.
0:30
Dvorak.
0:31
It's crack-bottom buzzkill!
0:33
In the morning!
0:34
Well, I'm glad you started with that.
0:36
Before we say Happy New Year, let's talk
0:38
about The Fog!
0:39
Here is a quick supercut about The Fog!
0:41
For the last seven days, the world has
0:44
been shrouded in a veil of mystery.
0:47
An unrelenting fog that stretches from the poop
0:50
-covered streets of Portland, Oregon to the quietest
0:53
corners of the countryside.
0:54
This is no ordinary weather phenomenon.
0:58
It's a dense, suffocating mist with an unsettling
1:02
smell of chemicals lingering in the air.
1:04
Oh, this is going to be interesting.
1:07
Have you noticed this strange, thick fog that
1:12
is blanketing cities across the globe?
1:14
As a matter of fact, drop in the
1:16
comments if you've experienced this.
1:18
People are getting sick.
1:19
They're coughing, struggling to breathe, and posting videos
1:23
about it all over the internet.
1:25
And here's the kicker.
1:26
They're even reporting the scent of chemicals.
1:30
We have some strange things happening, my friends.
1:33
This is Tony.
1:34
Hey, Tony.
1:35
This very bizarre fog, very thick fog, happening
1:39
in places that it never happens.
1:41
Never!
1:42
And things being seen in The Fog!
1:44
This is an emergency livestream because the internet
1:52
is flooded right now with footage that I'm
1:58
about to show you.
1:59
Oh, yes.
1:59
Many of that footage with a weird fog
2:04
issue.
2:05
OK, so you guys have sent in some
2:07
really wild stuff this time.
2:09
Seriously wild.
2:10
Videos, social media posts.
2:12
I even saw a couple of local news
2:14
clips.
2:14
Right.
2:14
All about this strange fog that seems to
2:19
be blanketing everything.
2:21
It's popping up everywhere.
2:23
Oh, man.
2:24
Hey, people, guess what?
2:26
It's fog.
2:28
It's fog.
2:29
You don't have an ear.
2:30
I don't know what they're talking about.
2:31
Oh, man.
2:32
Oh, well, the best one, I couldn't find
2:34
anyone on YouTube talking about it, is this
2:37
is not fog, it's smart dust.
2:40
Oh, I haven't heard that one.
2:41
Yes, yes.
2:42
I mean, I started off with, I wasn't
2:44
even going to use that as the intro.
2:45
I'm glad you got that super cut because
2:47
I have no clips about it.
2:48
I actually made that myself this morning.
2:50
Well, good.
2:52
I'm glad we do some work on this
2:53
show.
2:54
We do some work.
2:55
So there's this woman who's finally, you know,
2:56
she looks at her HEPA filter in her
2:58
furnace and it's all, you know, it's black
3:00
because who knows why.
3:01
Because it's a HEPA filter.
3:02
There's a million possibilities.
3:03
It's a HEPA filter.
3:04
That's why.
3:04
It's a HEPA filter.
3:06
They collect dust.
3:07
Yeah.
3:07
And so she's all bent out of shape
3:09
because of the fog.
3:10
And then there's this idea, this is the
3:12
June bug thing.
3:14
It's a weird form of hysteria.
3:16
Mimi brought it up this morning.
3:17
She's on the computer.
3:19
She says, what's all this about the fog?
3:21
The fog.
3:21
What's up?
3:22
Wait a minute.
3:23
Wait, wait, wait.
3:23
Was she on the computer or was she
3:25
on Facebook?
3:26
She was on the computer.
3:28
She was doing scrolling on something.
3:29
Oh, yeah, of course.
3:30
I don't think.
3:31
Of course.
3:32
But I told her that the real thing
3:35
that's going on.
3:36
I thought the fog thing had already passed.
3:40
But I do have the clip for this,
3:42
which is this thing, which is the only
3:44
talk clip I have.
3:45
Oh, boy.
3:46
This is a woman.
3:47
This is a woman.
3:48
She's wearing a mask.
3:49
She's at the Planet Fitness.
3:50
And here she goes.
3:52
Hey, good morning, people.
3:53
For those of you who watch most of
3:56
my post, you know that I am a
3:58
proud member of Team Delulu.
4:01
Team Delulu?
4:02
If you know what that means, then it'll
4:03
make sense to you.
4:05
But I was watching Empress and Raw Cognizance
4:10
and a couple of other people today, and
4:13
it's starting.
4:19
It's happening.
4:20
If you have access to DJT's, that social
4:26
media side of his, read the one from
4:31
today where he is talking to Republicans and
4:36
telling them to be tough.
4:38
He knows.
4:40
He knows he's caught.
4:42
He knows.
4:44
What?
4:45
He's caught?
4:45
This is going to be an interesting few
4:50
weeks.
4:51
I've told people from the very beginning, no
4:54
way things are going to turn out the
4:59
way people expect them to turn out on
5:01
the 20th.
5:06
So it's a wow.
5:09
I am so happy I can say a
5:11
little bit about it now.
5:13
I was stifled at the beginning.
5:14
I was told not to talk about this.
5:16
I was warned that I would be blocked
5:19
if I brought this up in any conversation.
5:24
And it shocks me that it's easy for
5:29
a person or people to do that and
5:32
then condemn me for questioning things that don't
5:36
look right.
5:39
And now we learn that there's a lot
5:43
of people questioning what doesn't look right.
5:47
We just lost half the audience.
5:49
What is this clip about?
5:52
This is all black women.
5:54
Trump is not going to be – I've
5:56
been playing these clips for a while.
5:57
Oh, yeah.
5:57
He's not going to be president.
5:59
Yes, I've heard this one.
6:00
I've been playing these clips for a while.
6:02
They're all subtle and they're all like this
6:04
is the latest version of these black women.
6:07
They've all come out and said he's been
6:09
caught.
6:09
Yes.
6:10
He's been caught for a while.
6:11
He's in Guantanamo Bay.
6:12
He's in Guantanamo Bay, no doubt.
6:14
He's been caught and he's not going to
6:16
– and Kamala, the thing that really tops
6:18
it from some of these people is that
6:19
Kamala is being brought back.
6:21
Yeah, to be president.
6:22
Of course.
6:23
It's obvious.
6:23
And she said the thing – now, this
6:27
one might be a parody, this woman, because
6:30
she says she's from Team Delulu.
6:33
As in delusional?
6:35
Yeah.
6:35
Yeah.
6:36
So, you know, okay.
6:38
And we didn't lose half the audience.
6:40
We only lost a third of them.
6:43
So, first of all, it's temperature inversion.
6:46
We have fog.
6:47
In fact, January 2024, Washington Post, why thick
6:53
fog is blanketing a record stretch of the
6:56
U.S.? This happens in January.
6:58
But you identified correctly what is really happening
7:01
in the narcissistic era that we live in.
7:05
And I was thinking about this yesterday.
7:08
Hysteria.
7:09
Well, it's narcissistic, and that's why it breeds
7:13
hysteria.
7:15
And if it was a parody or not,
7:17
what she's doing is very typical.
7:19
I can't talk about this.
7:20
You know, they told me I'll be blocked.
7:22
You know, I had this on – They,
7:24
they, they, they.
7:25
So, yesterday, we had a New Year's Eve
7:27
gathering, some friends of ours, and we had
7:28
black-eyed peas, actually, which was the first
7:31
– Yeah, it's good luck in the South.
7:32
It's good luck in the South.
7:33
Here in the North, no.
7:34
It comes – I think it originally comes
7:37
from the Civil War, I think.
7:40
Black-eyed peas were – I don't know.
7:41
I used to know the history of this.
7:43
Well, I looked it up.
7:45
It's superstition.
7:45
Of course, it's superstition.
7:47
But black-eyed peas were considered a food
7:48
for animals who were often overlooked by soldiers.
7:51
However, they became a vital source of sustenance
7:53
during harsh winters, and it is, of course,
7:55
a symbol of luck.
7:56
You've got to eat black-eyed peas.
7:56
I never had them.
7:57
Liked them a lot.
7:58
It's a bean.
7:59
I liked them a lot.
8:00
It was good.
8:01
They're very tasty.
8:02
It's an heirloom bean.
8:04
They're quite good.
8:04
There's a lot of these different kinds of
8:05
heirloom beans.
8:06
There's yellow-eyed peas, too, which are beans.
8:09
Well, hold on a second.
8:10
I've never heard – Well, now we have
8:11
a bean discussion.
8:14
Yellow-eyed peas.
8:15
Hmm.
8:17
Yeah, I have a couple cans.
8:18
They came from S&W.
8:20
I think they were under their – they
8:21
have an heirloom brand.
8:22
They're starting to bring out these old heirloom
8:24
beans and canning them.
8:26
This is a bunch of weird – they're
8:28
all good.
8:29
I mean, nothing tops – just to say
8:31
this, I'm going to say it.
8:35
I also like pineapple pizza, so I'm going
8:39
to say this, too.
8:40
There's nothing better than a pinto bean.
8:43
Pinto bean.
8:44
Pinto beans for the win.
8:47
So, as always, people bring up – it
8:51
must have been 30, 40 people there.
8:54
At least half of them are watching the
8:55
game, the Texas game, when, over time, we
8:58
won, of course, Texas, although we didn't deserve
9:01
it.
9:01
That's my sports ball analysis for today.
9:03
I would say you didn't deserve it.
9:04
They let Arizona State get that close.
9:07
I'm telling you.
9:07
We didn't deserve it, but we won, so
9:09
we'll take it.
9:10
But then everyone – oh, there's this conspiracy
9:13
guy.
9:14
Hey, what about the fog?
9:16
It starts with the fog.
9:18
No.
9:19
Oh, yeah.
9:19
Oh, you want to hear the latest?
9:23
Yeah, of course.
9:25
That's part of the show for as far
9:26
as I'm concerned.
9:27
Remind me to come back to the story.
9:30
We are about to go into 10 days
9:31
of communication darkness.
9:33
Oh.
9:34
The power to the entire world will switch
9:36
off briefly, at which point the internet will
9:39
be switched over to Starlink only.
9:43
Shutdowns will occur only in certain areas, but
9:45
banks are closing, ATMs, credit cards won't work.
9:48
Make sure you have at least a month's
9:50
supply of food, water, cash, medicine, all the
9:52
essentials for yourself, your family, and to share
9:55
with others in case of emergency.
9:57
But if you're unprepared, don't worry, because the
9:59
military will be supplying what we need, and
10:02
nonstop education will be broadcast, teaching everybody about
10:05
the true principles of freedom and justice.
10:07
It's coming.
10:08
It's all coming.
10:09
It's all part of the plan.
10:10
Trust the plan.
10:11
I'm not kidding.
10:13
This is the stuff that gets talked about
10:14
here.
10:16
That is amazing.
10:17
It's fantastic.
10:19
It is fantastic.
10:20
It's absolutely amazing how small communities, which yours
10:25
is.
10:25
Of incredibly well-educated, smart, successful people.
10:29
I think you have a high net income
10:32
area too.
10:33
I think you're not a bunch of poor
10:34
people.
10:35
No, no, not at all.
10:36
In fact, the poor people are probably going
10:37
to come up with this crap.
10:39
We're the poorest.
10:40
We're the podcast family.
10:42
Everyone else is in oil and land.
10:46
We're like this.
10:47
So it's essentially a Texas elite, and you
10:52
end up coming up with this left and
10:53
right, and it happens continuously.
10:55
I've noticed this.
10:57
It's nonstop.
10:58
And it goes from one to another, and
11:00
nobody ever notices that the stuff in the
11:02
past has ever failed and never happened.
11:06
No one questions this.
11:07
This is what bothers me.
11:09
Well, then it moved to H-1B, and
11:12
I don't want to get into that just
11:14
now, but I laid out my rap, which
11:17
I laid out on the last show.
11:18
It's like, let them all come in.
11:20
Silicon Valley, let them all be run by
11:22
Indians.
11:23
It's fine.
11:23
What have they delivered other than the iPhone
11:25
16?
11:27
At this point, people start laughing and chuckling,
11:31
and like, oh, I still have an iPhone.
11:33
People pull out their iPhones.
11:34
I have an iPhone 11.
11:35
I have an upgraded.
11:36
Oh, I get an iPhone 12.
11:38
And then I pull out the flip phone.
11:39
I said, I got a flip phone.
11:41
And everyone goes, oh.
11:42
Oh, let me look at that.
11:45
And it really made me think, like, what
11:48
is it?
11:48
And they're like, oh, what does it do?
11:50
I said, not much.
11:52
Does it have a selfie cam?
11:53
I said, not a very good one.
11:54
I said, it's unattractive to use.
11:57
It's not easy, so I don't use it.
11:59
I use it for texting, and it's indestructible,
12:01
and it costs 62 bucks.
12:02
And I realized what is happening in the
12:05
narcissistic era.
12:07
The narcissism is created by the smartphone and
12:12
the selfie cam.
12:14
And we're, you know, if you're looking –
12:16
I love – hold on a second.
12:18
I love the way you come up with
12:19
these crazy theories.
12:21
You've done this before with the under-socialized
12:23
or over-socialized, under-educated.
12:26
You have this basic thesis, and you will
12:28
use it as a baseline, a tree, as
12:31
it were, for all the branches of your
12:33
thoughts.
12:34
Forever.
12:34
And it's actually quite good.
12:35
Well, thank you.
12:36
And I'm not even done.
12:37
I'm just getting ramped up here.
12:38
Well, no, I figured that.
12:39
That's why I had to stop you.
12:41
So, you know, what happens is, you know
12:44
– and it's TikTok, and a lot of
12:46
older people are on TikTok.
12:48
What is happening is, you know, you're completely
12:51
in your own bubble.
12:52
You know, you have this device in your
12:55
hands, and it is the device.
12:57
I'm convinced now it's the device.
13:00
And if there's something you don't like, you
13:01
just swipe away.
13:03
We are, in fact, propagandizing ourselves by –
13:07
oh, no, I don't want to see that.
13:08
No, I want to see more missed videos.
13:10
And throughout history, people have carried symbols of
13:14
how they're dominated.
13:16
Now, slaves, of course, didn't have a choice,
13:18
but they got branded.
13:19
You had the scarlet letter.
13:21
To some degree, even a rosary is showing
13:24
that you're dominated by something.
13:27
And I think the smartphone now is our
13:30
confessional.
13:31
TikTok and social networks, they're the church.
13:34
A like is like getting an amen.
13:37
And instead of asking for forgiveness, we're begging
13:39
for attention.
13:41
And this is why you're safe.
13:44
This is why you're safe, because you don't
13:46
have one of these propaganda, narcissistic devices.
13:49
I have one.
13:51
Yeah, but you don't carry it around like
13:53
a rosary.
13:54
No, hell no.
13:55
No, and in my flip phone, people are
13:58
interested.
13:58
I can see they're drawn to it because
14:01
underneath it all, they know that the smartphone
14:05
is the problem.
14:06
And they're drawn to the $62 device because
14:10
they know that really they have to break
14:12
free from this thing that dominates their life.
14:14
And it has become a complete narcissistic era.
14:19
It's all to raise everyone's own profile, to
14:22
raise your own marketability.
14:25
Yeah, your brand, your marketability.
14:27
That's what it's become.
14:30
And those who are tied to it will
14:33
probably never get out of it.
14:34
The narcissistic era, the smartphone, and the selfie
14:38
camera.
14:39
Well, that woman who was talking, the talk
14:42
clip that I played earlier, she does say,
14:45
if you've heard my other discussions, you know
14:50
I'm a member of DeLulu.
14:52
In other words, a lot of these people
14:54
always self-reference.
14:56
They talk about me, me, me.
14:58
Me, me, me.
14:59
Me, me, me, me.
14:59
It's like, as I've told you in my
15:01
past videos, they all say this.
15:05
Yes, yes, yes.
15:06
As you should know from my show.
15:10
My show, yeah.
15:12
And this is also the reason for the
15:13
incessant, you've got to have a video podcast.
15:17
If you don't have a video podcast, it's
15:18
no good.
15:19
You've got to show yourself.
15:20
It's for you.
15:21
You have to raise your you.
15:24
It's all about your brand.
15:25
Yeah, your brand, your marketability.
15:27
Your personal brand.
15:30
And I think you and I've...
15:31
I'd like to do a Google Ngram search
15:33
on personal brand and see if that cropped
15:35
up.
15:35
How many times have you heard someone say,
15:37
oh, that's really off-brand for me?
15:39
I've heard young people say this.
15:41
Oh, yeah.
15:42
Yeah.
15:42
Yeah.
15:43
They're lost, John.
15:44
And we are the life raft in an
15:46
ocean.
15:47
We are the life raft in an ocean
15:49
of narcissism.
15:50
Grab a hold of us, people.
15:52
Grab a hold.
15:53
You can be saved.
15:55
Jeez.
15:57
Jeez.
15:58
That's a great one.
16:00
Yeah.
16:02
And you can date it all back to
16:04
2007 with the iPhone.
16:05
That's right.
16:05
That's when it kicked in.
16:06
There was other smart devices that, you know,
16:08
Microsoft had a smartphone and Nokia, but they
16:13
didn't come close to once the iPhone rolled
16:16
out.
16:16
Well, actually, when did the iPhone get the
16:20
selfie cam?
16:20
I don't think it was on the first
16:22
device.
16:23
I think it was.
16:25
I don't think they had a selfie cam.
16:26
No, because there were...
16:27
I'll tell you why I think that.
16:29
Okay.
16:29
Now you would have to look it up,
16:30
the iPhone 1.
16:31
But because there was selfie cameras on all
16:35
the other phones before the iPhone showed up,
16:37
they're not going to bring it out without
16:40
the camera, because their cameras were already in
16:43
play for at least two or three years.
16:45
In fact, I remember going to Comdex and
16:47
some of these trade shows for Motorola and
16:50
other people, and they had the camera.
16:51
Not all of them, but a lot of
16:53
them already had the camera, and it was
16:54
a big deal.
16:57
Let me see.
16:58
Hardware.
17:00
I don't think it had...
17:01
I don't think it...
17:02
I think that was one of the reasons...
17:06
Oh, I can't find it quick enough, but
17:07
I don't think...
17:10
Troll Room, go to work.
17:12
Troll Room says the first iPhone only had
17:15
the rear camera.
17:17
Oh, you mean...
17:18
Okay.
17:19
Yes, I don't...
17:20
That's what I'm talking about.
17:20
Yeah, you're thinking of the two cameras.
17:22
Yeah, yeah, the selfie cam.
17:23
That's the one on the front.
17:23
Oh, the front camera.
17:24
Yeah, the one on the front.
17:24
You're right.
17:25
Yeah.
17:25
Yeah.
17:26
No, that I agree with, because the idea
17:29
of a selfie camera, the camera on the
17:30
other side, came when they were looking for
17:32
additional features.
17:34
Yes, yes.
17:35
But you could...
17:35
They were taking...
17:36
People were taking selfies with the rear camera,
17:38
and they'd check it.
17:39
I know, but it was the combo...
17:40
Back and forth.
17:41
It wasn't quite the same.
17:43
Yeah, it wasn't quite the same.
17:43
The combo of the front-facing cam and
17:46
Facebook slash Twitter.
17:47
You had to have a place to send
17:49
it to.
17:49
The funny thing is that the camera, the
17:53
regular camera that was on all the phones,
17:55
was a higher resolution than the selfie camera.
17:58
It was always like half as good.
17:59
Yeah, it sucked.
18:00
Yeah.
18:01
It was just a cheaper camera.
18:03
Yes.
18:04
It was always...
18:05
Yeah.
18:05
Never could figure out why that was.
18:07
Well, they didn't understand the importance that this
18:09
would make it the true bonanza that it
18:12
is.
18:13
The front-facing camera is really the big
18:15
deal.
18:17
And in conjunction with...
18:19
I mean, what is TikTok about?
18:20
All these clips, every single one you've brought
18:22
is all about me.
18:24
Watch me dance.
18:25
Watch me cook.
18:26
Watch me do my hair.
18:27
Watch me do my makeup.
18:28
The dancing dipshit clips are...
18:29
I mean, we don't play those on this
18:31
show because it's just some dipshit dancing.
18:33
Watch my morning routine.
18:34
Looking at her cool moves.
18:36
It's always some girl as a teen.
18:38
Watch me pump my husband.
18:39
And I don't understand what the appeal of
18:41
this is.
18:41
If somebody could explain that to me.
18:43
I'm explaining it to you.
18:44
No, I know.
18:46
But why would you...
18:47
Yes, but that's different than expressing yourself by
18:49
talking yakking, as opposed to taking somebody's song
18:53
and then doing some dance.
18:54
Look at me dance.
18:56
Look at me dance.
18:56
Look how good I dance.
18:57
I'm a good dancer.
18:58
They're not good dancers.
19:01
No one said narcissists were realistic.
19:05
No.
19:06
No, this is...
19:06
Really, the dancing thing is despicable.
19:14
Anyway, thanks to smartphones, we also have lots
19:16
of video of lots of events, lots of
19:18
things that are taking place.
19:19
And I'm sure lots of people are tuning
19:21
in to this live broadcast saying, oh, I
19:23
wonder what the guys think about New Orleans.
19:25
I wonder what they're talking about.
19:26
And I'm going to...
19:27
I have way too many clips for the
19:28
New Orleans.
19:29
Well, that's good.
19:31
I have clips that I think will matter.
19:35
But I want to remind everybody how we
19:40
view these things.
19:41
And it was, in fact, November 14th, 2024,
19:45
exactly six weeks ago that this report came
19:50
over the wire.
19:51
Breaking this hour, FBI Houston has arrested a
19:54
man accused of attempting to provide material support
19:57
for the terror group ISIS.
20:00
That was six weeks ago.
20:02
Now, when I see something happening with ISIS,
20:09
with apparently an ISIS flag, the FBI is
20:14
on the scene immediately, I can only think
20:19
six-week cycle gone rogue.
20:23
Because it had all the other elements.
20:25
It had...
20:26
No, I'm totally into the six...
20:28
I didn't get the previous clip from the
20:30
November 14th, but I was totally convinced.
20:35
Because you're right, as soon as the story
20:36
starts off, FBI starts off with...
20:40
Why not local police?
20:42
I mean, local police were obviously involved in
20:44
New Orleans, but the FBI angle was just
20:47
too much.
20:48
I need to roll out, I guess, right
20:51
off the bat, this guy that the WGN
20:55
had on in Chicago, who is professor of
21:00
history from DePaul, but he's billed, I believe,
21:04
as terrorism expert.
21:06
He's got the gray hair.
21:07
He's got all the features, John, all of
21:09
it.
21:10
And I have...
21:10
Yes, I have my terrorist experts too.
21:13
Okay, let me roll out mine.
21:15
What's this guy's name?
21:16
This is something weird.
21:20
Let's see.
21:21
It is mentioned in the clip.
21:22
What is your sense about what the city
21:24
of New Orleans...
21:26
Hold on a second.
21:28
I'm going to make sure I got the
21:29
right one.
21:30
Here we go, this one.
21:31
Dr. Tom Makaitis, terrorism expert and...
21:33
Tom Makaitis?
21:34
It's Makaitis, M-O-C-K-A-I
21:37
-T-I-S.
21:38
I'm not kidding.
21:40
Makaitis, Makaitis.
21:41
Dr. Tom Makaitis, terrorism expert and history professor
21:44
at DePaul University is joining us live now
21:47
to discuss more on this tragedy in New
21:49
Orleans.
21:50
Tom, thanks for joining us.
21:52
What are your thoughts...
21:52
And then what happened to Professor?
21:54
Tom, thanks for joining us.
21:56
Okay, kind of friendly, aren't we, with the
21:58
professor?
21:59
Tragedy in New Orleans.
22:00
Tom, thanks for joining us.
22:02
What are your thoughts on this suspect's background?
22:05
We heard President Biden elaborating on some posts
22:07
to social media where he was praising ISIS
22:10
and also his military background.
22:13
Just give us your reaction to the details
22:15
that we know about him so far.
22:16
Yes, details.
22:17
Well, it reminds me of the Fort Hood
22:18
shooter in that regard, Hassan Nadal.
22:21
This is another example of the self-radicalized
22:24
or radicalized online lone wolf terrorist, although it
22:28
looks like he acted alone, but they're not
22:30
entirely sure about that.
22:32
But what's really interesting is his attack was
22:35
almost, you know, a page taken out of
22:39
the Inspire magazine published in 2010.
22:42
That was that issue that had this Chicago
22:44
skyline and also had an article titled The
22:49
Ultimate Mowing Machine, which contained instructions for how
22:53
to use a pickup truck to mow down
22:56
pedestrians and then follow it up with a
22:59
firearm battle, which is exactly what he did.
23:02
And, of course, the flag is pretty compelling
23:03
evidence that he affiliated with ISIS.
23:07
Now, they didn't immediately claim responsibility, which is
23:09
further evidence that he's a lone wolf.
23:11
Typically, they will only weigh in when they've
23:13
made a determination that, yes, he's acted on
23:16
our behalf and we bless his actions.
23:18
So when I heard this, I hear Inspire
23:21
magazine, lone wolf, The Ultimate Mowing Machine.
23:25
I dive into our No Agenda clip archive.
23:27
2016, Trump enters office in this year as
23:32
well.
23:32
When I saw this attack and the news
23:35
unfolding, I immediately recalled a series of articles
23:38
in the Al-Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula
23:40
magazine Inspire called Open Source Shihad, which were
23:43
published in 2010.
23:45
And one of those articles described exactly what
23:48
happened in Paris today.
23:50
This was the magazine that was published by
23:52
Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, who are
23:54
two American-born Al-Qaeda terrorists.
23:57
And this article, The Ultimate Mowing Machine, let
23:59
me just read you this.
24:00
There it is, mowing machine.
24:02
The idea is to use a pickup truck
24:03
as a mowing machine, not to mow grass,
24:06
but to mow down the enemies of Allah.
24:08
Pick your location and timing carefully.
24:10
Go for the most crowded locations.
24:12
To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick
24:14
up as much speed as you can while
24:16
still retaining good control of your vehicle in
24:18
order to strike as many people as possible
24:20
in your first run.
24:21
The ideal location is a place where there
24:24
are maximum number of pedestrians and the least
24:26
number of vehicles.
24:27
If you can get through the pedestrian-only
24:28
areas that exist in some downtown city areas,
24:31
that would be fabulous.
24:33
And finally, this is the kicker, if you
24:35
have access to firearms, carry them with you
24:37
so that you may use them to finish
24:39
off your work if your vehicle gets grounded
24:41
during the attack.
24:42
The idea would be to implement it in
24:44
countries like Israel, the U.S., Britain, Canada,
24:46
Australia, and France.
24:48
That is exactly what happened tonight.
24:51
Al-Qaeda published it in 2010 in their
24:53
magazine, Inspire.
24:54
Come on.
24:56
FBI, we know this script.
24:58
Just to pile on.
25:00
Yeah, please.
25:00
And that was from 2016.
25:02
2016, yeah.
25:03
NPR?
25:05
The clip is called Car Ramming Inspire Magazine.
25:10
You know, in 2010, Al-Qaeda came out
25:13
in Inspire Magazine and asked people to start
25:17
using vehicles to ram.
25:19
They, in fact, named the F-350 specifically
25:24
as a heavy-duty weapon that could be
25:27
used by their people.
25:28
And then that was added to by the
25:32
Islamic State.
25:34
And so it's not something that we should
25:36
be surprised by.
25:39
And I'll just add that the president, or
25:41
whoever that guy is, came out right away
25:45
for a four-minute conference, a four-minute
25:47
speech about what happened, which was interrupted by
25:50
the teleprompter failing.
25:52
I think it's important we listen to what
25:54
President Biden said.
25:55
Here's what we know so far.
25:57
The FBI has reported to me the killer
26:00
was an American citizen, born in Texas.
26:04
He served in the United States Army on
26:06
active duty for many years.
26:08
He also served in the Army Reserve until
26:10
a few years ago.
26:12
The FBI also reported to me that mere
26:15
hours before the attack, he posted videos on
26:18
social media indicating that he was inspired by
26:21
ISIS.
26:22
I have not seen any of these videos,
26:24
by the way.
26:25
I have not seen any videos he posted
26:27
on social media, but okay.
26:29
Expression of desire to kill.
26:31
Desire to kill.
26:33
The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle.
26:36
Okay, now, this is a discrepancy.
26:40
The flag was found in his vehicle.
26:42
Was he flying on the back of his
26:44
vehicle?
26:45
The FBI had it covered.
26:47
I saw the video where he hangs a
26:50
quick right and accelerates onto Bourbon Street.
26:53
The flag was not unfurled in that video,
26:57
so this stinks.
26:59
Was he rented to conduct this attack?
27:00
I agree with this, by the way.
27:02
I followed this, too, and there's discrepancy.
27:06
It was on the trailer hitch.
27:09
It was on a flagpole.
27:10
It was in the back.
27:11
It was in the trunk.
27:12
It was on the ground.
27:13
Yeah, a little more from the president.
27:15
The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle.
27:17
Was he rented to conduct this attack?
27:20
Why is this relevant?
27:22
Was he rented to conduct this attack?
27:24
I mean, this is a script.
27:26
Some explosives were found in the vehicle as
27:28
well, and more explosives were found nearby.
27:33
The situation is very fluid in the investigation
27:36
as a preliminary stage, and the fact is
27:39
that right now- Excuse me.
27:42
Mr. President, we're having a problem with the
27:43
prompter.
27:44
Just one second.
27:45
There you go.
27:46
Okay, go ahead.
27:47
The law enforcement and intelligence community continue to
27:49
look for any connections, associations, or co-conspirators.
27:55
We have nothing additional to report at this
27:57
time.
27:58
The investigation is continuing to be active, and
28:01
no one should jump to conclusions.
28:03
I've directed my attorney general, the FBI director,
28:08
the Secretary of Homeland Security, the head of
28:11
the National Counterterrorism Center, and the intelligence community
28:15
to work on this intensively until we have
28:18
a full and complete information.
28:21
And once we have that information, I will
28:23
share that information as soon as we can
28:26
confirm it.
28:27
Additionally, we're tracking the explosion of a cyber
28:31
truck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
28:33
Oh, there we go.
28:35
Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating
28:38
this as well, including whether there's any possible
28:41
connection with the attack in New Orleans.
28:44
Thus far, there's nothing to report on that
28:47
score at this time.
28:48
Yeah, this is the Biden weave, where he
28:51
weaves all kinds of things together, and this
28:55
is exactly how you get stuff started online.
28:58
Everyone starts freaking out.
29:00
I have one more clip to play, then
29:01
I want you to play your clips.
29:03
This, I think, is a killer clip.
29:05
This is Senator Kennedy, Joe Kennedy, the guy
29:09
who's usually just funny.
29:11
John Kennedy.
29:11
John Kennedy, I'm sorry.
29:12
He's from Louisiana.
29:14
He's down, boots on the ground.
29:17
I've never seen this.
29:19
He has, like, an army jacket on with
29:21
Americans.
29:21
Yeah, he's got a funny outfit on.
29:23
He's like, okay, I better put this on
29:25
because I'm official now, I'm in official capacity.
29:28
But what he said says it all.
29:31
This sounds to be some sort of sleeper
29:34
cell, a terror cell on U.S. soil.
29:37
Terror cell.
29:37
Is that what you're hearing?
29:38
Well, there's a fine line between anger and
29:43
grief, and I'm pretty much straddling that line
29:46
right now.
29:48
If you don't believe in objective evil, all
29:51
you need to do is go walk about
29:52
30 or 40 yards that way.
29:55
Objective evil.
29:55
I'm here for two reasons.
29:56
Number one, these are my people, and these
29:58
are my people's guests.
30:01
Number two, I don't want to hear from
30:03
anybody in the federal government that they don't
30:05
have the resources.
30:06
Now, the White House, the FBI, justice, Homeland
30:10
Security are in charge now.
30:13
We're cooperating with them.
30:15
I want to give them a reasonable period
30:16
of time.
30:17
There's a lot of information out there.
30:18
Some of it is actually true.
30:20
I want to give them a reasonable period
30:22
of time, but they need to saddle up
30:24
and ride.
30:25
We need to find out what happened here,
30:27
and it's not going to be covered up.
30:29
We're going to tell the American people exactly
30:32
what happened.
30:33
Sure.
30:33
And that's why I'm down here.
30:36
We know a lot more than what's being
30:38
reported.
30:39
They are in the middle of an active
30:42
investigation, and I don't want to do anything
30:44
to screw it up.
30:45
Okay.
30:45
But I'm also not going to let them
30:47
take the pressure off.
30:49
Okay, got it, Senator.
30:50
You did promise transparency earlier in the press
30:53
conference that you took part in this afternoon.
30:56
Are you getting the sense that the FBI
31:00
have been tracking this suspect, or are you
31:04
getting the sense that they perhaps somehow missed
31:06
this?
31:07
I can't answer that.
31:08
I can't answer that, but I shouldn't.
31:13
I'm going to say it again.
31:14
We're giving the FBI and Homeland Security a
31:18
reasonable amount of time to do their job.
31:20
Yeah, so that they can prove their worthiness
31:22
and existence so Kash Patel can't come in
31:24
and fire everybody and move the remaining to
31:27
a new building.
31:27
This is a script gone wrong, typical FBI
31:31
bungle.
31:31
They set a guy up.
31:33
They want to have IEDs planted everywhere.
31:35
The guy goes rogue and drives through a
31:38
bunch of people.
31:39
This is bull crap.
31:41
This is your government.
31:44
I don't believe for a second that this
31:45
is ISIS-inspired.
31:49
I can't argue with you.
31:52
I believe this is the same thing.
31:54
It was one of the FBI stings that
31:56
were set up expecting, I'll just push this
31:59
button and then we'll arrest you.
32:01
But the guy went rogue and fell off
32:05
the script.
32:06
These guys are not that controllable necessarily.
32:10
There's something going on, and the rest of
32:13
this has to be a cover-up, so
32:14
they're going to have to cover their tracks,
32:16
and that's what this is really going to
32:18
be about.
32:20
We're assuming this is based on our— by
32:22
the way, this is no agenda.
32:23
We've been told about the six-week cycle,
32:26
and it's been in play on and off.
32:30
It's not pure, but it does exist, and
32:34
it's done for budgetary purposes.
32:37
It goes wrong once in a while.
32:39
This Jabbar guy was flagged, I'm not sure
32:42
what that means, and barred from re-enlistment
32:44
between 2014 and 2015 for an incident.
32:47
I don't know what that is yet.
32:49
It would be nice to know.
32:50
The flag was removed, and then he joined
32:53
the reserves.
32:56
I think—was this guy also with Fort Hood,
32:59
or the other guy?
32:59
I think the Vegas guy.
33:01
Another military guy, Matthew Leibesberger, active-duty special
33:09
forces operations sergeant, who was on leave from
33:12
Germany, where he was serving with the 10th
33:15
Special Forces Group.
33:19
This stinks.
33:21
Well, let's go to these clips here, and
33:23
then we'll get something out of it.
33:25
Maybe.
33:25
Maybe we will.
33:26
Maybe.
33:26
So let's start with the local reporting.
33:28
This came out—one of our producers sent this
33:30
to me.
33:31
It's better than the NPR stuff I had,
33:33
so I bounced that, and I put this
33:35
in.
33:35
This is ISIS, because it has this crazy
33:38
-looking commissioner of police of New Orleans, some
33:42
old woman.
33:43
She looks like my mom.
33:45
No, she used to be.
33:46
She's the lady who was in Oakland, and
33:48
she mowed down two people herself with her
33:50
car.
33:51
That's who that is.
33:53
I don't—well, that's good to know, but she
33:56
looks like she's wearing a gray wig.
33:58
She looks terrible, and she sounds worse, and
34:01
she's in this clip, and then I have
34:03
a follow-up clip with her talking more.
34:07
I didn't know she was the Oakland woman.
34:09
Yes.
34:09
She just—I don't know what's the story here,
34:12
but here's the ISIS terrorist.
34:13
This is the background, and it brings in
34:15
the commish.
34:16
The FBI is calling the deadly attack in
34:18
New Orleans an act of terrorism.
34:20
Hello, everybody.
34:21
I'm Heather Hayes.
34:22
The FBI says that suspect, who is now
34:24
dead, was 42-year-old Sham Sadeen Jabbar,
34:27
a U.S. citizen and Army veteran from
34:29
the Houston area.
34:30
They do not believe he acted alone, and
34:33
there's now reportedly surveillance video of other individuals
34:36
who might be involved.
34:37
At least 15 people are now confirmed dead,
34:40
dozens of others injured, including two police officers
34:43
who were shot.
34:44
Fox 4's Stephen Dyle in studio now with
34:46
more.
34:47
Stephen.
34:47
The New Orleans police chief says Sham Sadeen
34:50
Jabbar drove onto the sidewalk to get around
34:53
a police car that was providing security by
34:55
blocking the vehicle's access to Bourbon Street.
34:58
The coroner of Orleans Parish just shared that
35:01
the death toll has climbed to 15 people.
35:04
Three hours into the new year, Bourbon Street
35:06
in New Orleans turned into a massive crime
35:09
scene.
35:10
This particular terrorist drove around onto the sidewalk.
35:16
The FBI says 42-year-old Sham Sadeen
35:18
Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from the Houston
35:21
area, drove a white pickup truck around a
35:23
police car blocking traffic and slammed into pedestrians
35:26
on the crowded street.
35:28
15 people were killed, dozens injured.
35:31
Federal investigators are calling this an act of
35:34
terrorism.
35:35
New Orleans police and all law enforcement is
35:38
built, we are built for dealing with evil,
35:44
with things that would cause us, others, to
35:47
be in fear.
35:49
But instead, our officers, and last night NOPD
35:53
in particular, stood strong.
35:57
They did not run.
35:59
They did kill the terrorist.
36:04
So, February 20th, 2020, Oakland Police Commission voted
36:08
unanimously to fire Kirkpatrick, to be fired with
36:13
cause, because the commission's trust in Kirkpatrick was
36:16
irrevocably broken.
36:18
This was a big deal.
36:20
It was a lawsuit and everything over it.
36:22
This is, she's questionable.
36:26
I'd say, and then here's the, this is
36:28
the, I don't know why I named it
36:30
number three, because I can't find two.
36:33
Here she is finishing her little spiel with
36:35
this nonsense.
36:36
This city has been tried by fire before.
36:40
But fire purifies.
36:43
Fire makes things stronger.
36:46
We have a plan.
36:48
We know what to do.
36:50
We are going to get these people.
36:53
There is a path forward.
36:54
No, she's talking about these people now.
36:56
So, she's talking about more than just one.
36:58
Not a lone wolf situation, if you're talking
37:00
about these people.
37:03
This is, this is, oh.
37:05
Yes, because they saw somebody plant some supposed
37:08
IEDs, two people, a woman and a guy,
37:11
maybe another guy.
37:13
And this is, the whole thing is kind
37:15
of falling apart.
37:16
So, I ended up with finding these, and
37:21
I went to PBS and found Lopez, a
37:24
woman who had this analyst on.
37:26
And this guy you'll find to be a
37:28
little more interesting than the analyst you had
37:30
earlier.
37:31
Because this guy's from the Council on Foreign
37:33
Relations, works with the CIA.
37:36
Nice, okay.
37:37
And he's, and this is super scripted.
37:41
She reads, she's reading from a script she
37:43
can't even, I don't know why they don't
37:46
put a prompter behind the guy and let
37:47
her read from that.
37:48
Because she keeps looking down, it's very poorly
37:50
executed because it was a weekend.
37:53
So, you know, or it's a holiday, so
37:54
they had the holiday crew on, and so
37:56
they had Lopez doing the anchoring and she
37:59
stinks at it.
38:01
But here we go, this is Bourbon Street,
38:03
and it is four-parter, Bourbon Street Analysis
38:07
PBS.
38:08
For insight into the ongoing terrorism investigation, we're
38:12
joined by Bruce Hoffman, Senior Fellow for Counterterrorism
38:15
and Homeland Security at the Council on Foreign
38:17
Relations.
38:17
He's advised the CIA and has studied terrorism
38:20
and insurgency for five decades.
38:23
Bruce, thank you so much for joining us
38:24
this evening.
38:25
The suspect was an Army veteran and he
38:28
had an ISIS flag in his truck, according
38:31
to authorities.
38:33
How significant is it that he had that
38:35
ISIS flag and what else stands out to
38:36
you?
38:37
The ISIS flag is enormously significant because it's
38:39
very clear he was trying to situate this
38:42
act of violence in a political context, indeed
38:45
in a terrorist context, and show allegiance or
38:48
support of ISIS's aims.
38:50
Law enforcement has said that they don't believe
38:53
that the suspect, Samsouh Jabbar, was acting alone.
38:58
So what can we infer so far from
39:00
what we know about who else might be
39:02
involved or what this means?
39:05
This is what's so alarming about this particular
39:07
incident is it wasn't just a matter of
39:09
someone getting in a truck and driving from
39:11
Texas to Louisiana and carrying out an attack.
39:14
It's believed that at least two other improvised
39:16
explosive devices were found in the French Quarter
39:19
of New Orleans and that several other men
39:22
and a woman have been captured on video
39:24
planting them there.
39:25
So this suggests some conspiratorial dimension to the
39:29
attack, which means that this may not be
39:31
isolated.
39:32
Right, authorities did say in the last few
39:35
hours that they're not sure if that man
39:37
and woman were involved or connected to the
39:40
suspect, but there's a lot that we still
39:42
don't know.
39:42
And again, based on the information that we
39:44
have so far, how likely is it that
39:47
the suspect was inspired or directly linked to
39:50
ISIS?
39:51
Inspired.
39:52
Use the inspired word, please.
39:56
He's a tenured professor at Georgetown University, also
39:59
the director of Rand's Washington, D.C. office.
40:06
His bio is quite remarkable.
40:09
He's very connected.
40:10
This is the guy you want on a
40:11
holiday weekend.
40:12
Hey, I got a poem, I'm not doing
40:15
anything.
40:16
I got time to do a hit for
40:17
you, PBS.
40:18
Now, here's an interesting part.
40:20
It starts to get interesting.
40:21
This is the second clip.
40:23
Now, I want you to think about, or
40:27
anyone out there should think about how these
40:29
things evolve when it comes to the background
40:32
information on the person who does these attacks,
40:35
when they're real.
40:37
They're not, it takes days and days before
40:40
we know anything.
40:41
But their posts are usually still up, and
40:44
they're trying to scrub everything off the internet
40:46
as fast as they can.
40:49
Now, this took place at 3.14, I
40:51
think, or 3.15 in the morning, the
40:54
morning of this report that we're listening to,
40:57
which was probably done in the early afternoon
41:00
of the same day, which is probably less
41:02
than.
41:03
12 hours later, maybe.
41:04
Probably less than 12 hours.
41:07
In less than 12 hours, I'd like you
41:09
to explain to me how this guy knows
41:11
what he's about to tell us in this
41:14
short a period of time.
41:15
Sorry.
41:16
It's difficult to say.
41:18
It's clear that he was going through some
41:20
personal crisis.
41:21
He had financial problems, for example.
41:23
He was recently divorced.
41:25
He's a recent convert to a religion, for
41:27
example.
41:28
All of those things may have played in
41:30
his mind of doing something daring, dramatic, and
41:34
violent that would all of a sudden catapult
41:36
him into some sort of infamous notoriety.
41:39
But notoriety, nonetheless, as opposed to having been
41:41
a failure at everything else that he's tried.
41:44
And what we know from the recruitment and
41:46
radicalization of individuals is that members of terrorist
41:49
organizations, handlers, play on individuals' personal weaknesses or
41:53
their personal traumas, and attempt to get them
41:56
to engage in acts of violence that, in
41:58
normal circumstances, they might never have contemplated.
42:01
This is perfect, because all you have to
42:03
do in your mind is replace ISIS with
42:08
FBI.
42:10
I mean, yes, that's exactly what happens.
42:13
You jack this guy up, and then all
42:15
of a sudden he decides to hang a
42:17
right and mow everybody down.
42:19
That's pretty much what happened.
42:20
But how does this guy, this guy who's
42:22
called out, you know, like you said, what
42:25
are you doing this weekend?
42:27
I'm not skiing in Aspen or anything.
42:30
I've got plenty of time.
42:32
I'm just hanging around.
42:32
He comes on the show with this detailed
42:34
information about his finances and his divorces and
42:38
his army experience within a 12-hour slot,
42:41
time slot, where you just get thrown on
42:43
there.
42:44
Come on, people.
42:45
Yeah.
42:46
You know, I was talking to Tina about
42:48
this, and I immediately said, six-week cycle.
42:51
And I said, but, you know, 15 people
42:53
died.
42:53
And she turns to me and says, you
42:55
know they really don't care about us.
42:58
The government doesn't care.
42:59
She says, this is just 15 people.
43:02
It's a spit in the bucket.
43:04
And this is my wife who is not
43:05
like this normally at all.
43:08
She's like, hey, look at 9-11.
43:10
I'm like, okay, all right, simmer down.
43:13
Well, she's been living in Texas too long.
43:16
Not long enough.
43:18
I don't believe for a minute that the
43:20
FBI doesn't care that this guy, if our
43:25
scenario is correct, and I'm assuming it is,
43:28
that this guy went rogue.
43:31
Went rogue, yeah.
43:32
Yeah, I just don't believe that.
43:33
The same with the kid on the roof
43:36
at Butler, Pennsylvania.
43:39
Yeah, that was it.
43:40
The same analysis.
43:40
The kid decides to go and do it
43:42
for real instead of getting caught.
43:45
And by the way, what's with the security
43:47
barriers?
43:48
Oh, well, we were going to put those
43:50
in a few days.
43:51
Oh, we forgot about that.
43:54
This whole thing is wrong.
43:57
But just remember, Inspire, Ultimate Mowing Machine, 2016,
44:02
2010.
44:03
It's like we've got a- Yeah, I'm
44:05
glad you got that clip from 2016 with
44:08
this exact same thing, and with President Trump
44:11
coming in.
44:12
So let's go to- the analysis starts
44:14
to peter out a little bit here, so
44:15
let's go with clip three.
44:17
I think the biggest question is, was this
44:19
a broader conspiracy?
44:21
And who are the fellow conspirators?
44:22
And what conceivably might be next?
44:24
I would say, secondly, it's whether that explosion,
44:28
a very mysterious explosion of a cyber truck
44:30
outside of a Trump-owned hotel in Las
44:32
Vegas, is in any way connected to this
44:34
event as well.
44:35
It seems odd that two electric vehicles were
44:37
involved in an explosion.
44:39
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
44:41
whoa.
44:41
What two electric vehicles?
44:43
The Ford was not an electric vehicle.
44:44
Nope.
44:45
He rented that thing in Houston, and it's
44:47
a Ford F-150.
44:48
You saw it.
44:49
Everyone saw it.
44:50
It's not an electric Ford.
44:52
You can tell.
44:52
They don't look the same.
44:54
Wow.
44:54
Hold on.
44:54
Step back.
44:55
Just step back.
44:56
Step back for a second.
44:58
Clip of the day.
44:59
Wow.
45:00
This guy is read in and flubs it.
45:03
He's read in and flubbed it.
45:06
Wow.
45:08
That was a flub.
45:09
That's a big flub.
45:11
It was a big flub, and he cracked
45:13
me up when he said it.
45:14
Wow.
45:15
They're both electric vehicles.
45:18
It wasn't a Ford Lightning, was it?
45:20
No, you can see the truck.
45:24
I saw photos of it.
45:26
It was a Ford F-150.
45:27
Yeah, it didn't look like it.
45:28
It wasn't a 350, which he would have
45:29
used if he could have rented one from,
45:31
you know, using the Inspire magazine.
45:33
Wait a minute.
45:33
The troll room is saying, yes, Ford F
45:37
-150 Lightning?
45:38
Really?
45:40
I don't think so.
45:40
Look, let's look at the practicality.
45:42
Hold on.
45:43
Let's look at the practicality of renting an
45:46
electric truck in Houston and then driving it
45:50
to New Orleans.
45:51
Well, then they would be able to track
45:53
that through every Tesla charging station, which we
45:55
did hear about the Cybertruck.
46:00
I'm just not buying that it was...
46:02
Now, if it was electric, then that's the
46:04
first...
46:05
And then it makes it even more interesting
46:07
that why would he be the only guy
46:09
that reported that?
46:11
And why is he even reporting anything?
46:13
Because he's an analyst.
46:14
He's supposed to come out...
46:15
Here it is.
46:16
Here it is.
46:16
New Orleans terrorist suspect used Ford Lightning.
46:22
Wow.
46:24
So this guy knew this already and he
46:26
links it to two electric vehicles?
46:28
What does that have to do with the
46:29
price of matzah?
46:31
You and your matzah.
46:33
I say it on purpose.
46:34
Let me listen to this guy again.
46:35
Let's start that clip over.
46:36
I think the biggest question is, was this
46:38
a broader conspiracy?
46:40
And who are the fellow conspirators?
46:42
And what conceivably might be next?
46:44
I would say, secondly, it's whether that explosion,
46:47
a very mysterious explosion of a cyber truck
46:49
outside of a Trump-owned hotel in Las
46:51
Vegas, is in any way connected to this
46:54
event as well.
46:54
It seems odd that two electric vehicles are
46:57
involved in explosions on the same day.
47:00
Wow.
47:00
Wait a minute.
47:02
This was not involved in an explosion.
47:05
He says two electric vehicles were involved in
47:08
an explosion.
47:09
No.
47:11
One exploded.
47:12
One killed people on Bourbon Street.
47:15
By ramming, yeah.
47:17
Do you have a fourth clip for this
47:18
guy, or is it just three?
47:19
No, that's it.
47:20
It ends there because there's nothing else.
47:23
Well, let me play this.
47:25
He was read in.
47:27
This was scripted.
47:28
Clearly.
47:28
When you saw it, when you got to
47:30
watch it visually, you can see the scripting.
47:33
It's actually much better in audio than it
47:35
is in video because in video it just
47:37
looks like a rehearsal.
47:41
Hold on a second.
47:42
Stop.
47:43
So back to our thesis.
47:45
I like this.
47:45
Let me pull this clip up again.
47:48
This guy is good.
47:50
I want to hear this again.
47:52
So back to our thesis that the Bourbon
47:57
Street mowing machine went rogue.
48:00
He had IEDs in the truck.
48:03
Perhaps the plan was to have two IEDs
48:07
explode in electric vehicles because that's what this
48:10
guy is saying.
48:11
He says, gee, isn't it coincidence that you
48:15
have two electric vehicles exploding on the same
48:18
day?
48:18
That might have been the original plan before
48:21
the Bourbon Street mowing machine went rogue.
48:27
Listen to this last bit again from this
48:28
guy.
48:29
Outside of a Trump-owned hotel in Las
48:31
Vegas is in any way connected to this
48:33
event as well.
48:33
It seems odd that two electric vehicles are
48:36
involved in explosions on the same day.
48:38
Oh, he had the old script.
48:40
He didn't realize the script had changed.
48:44
Why would you say that?
48:45
There was no explosion on Bourbon Street.
48:47
Now, maybe it was planned.
48:51
I like the idea of being the old
48:53
script because he obviously knows too much.
48:55
For a guy who was just dragged out
48:57
of bed, remembering again this took place six
49:01
to 12 hours just before this guy shows
49:03
up in the studio as the superstar expert
49:06
with connections to the CIA and connections to
49:09
the Council on Foreign Relations and doing this
49:12
for 50 years.
49:14
This guy's 70s.
49:15
He's in his 70s.
49:16
So he's been a terrorism expert for 50
49:20
years, so he's the go-to guy.
49:22
And he'd be dragged out of bed.
49:24
I'm going to use that.
49:25
I just like it.
49:25
Because it's a holiday.
49:27
Being dragged out of bed and then put
49:29
in front of the camera, and he has
49:31
all this information and he's just reciting it.
49:35
And when you watch the two of these
49:36
interchange, Lopez and this guy, it just looks
49:41
rehearsed as hell.
49:43
And then we have this connection that everybody
49:45
made, including our president.
49:47
A blast that in seconds turned this Tesla
49:50
Cybertruck into a ball of flames.
49:52
Parked outside the Trump International Hotel in Las
49:54
Vegas, it is now a charred carcass of
49:56
a vehicle.
49:57
Investigators are looking into whether the explosion was
49:59
an act of organized terrorism.
50:01
Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO and a strong supporter
50:04
of President-elect Donald Trump, confirmed online that
50:06
explosives and fireworks were found in the bed
50:09
of the truck and that the vehicle's data
50:10
seemed normal prior to the blast.
50:13
The timing of the incident is also of
50:15
concern for investigators, as it occurred just hours
50:18
after a car rammed into revelers in New
50:20
Orleans.
50:21
President Biden said an investigation is ongoing, but
50:24
that no link had been found between the
50:26
two events.
50:27
The intelligence community are investigating this as well,
50:30
including whether there's any possible connection with the
50:34
attack in New Orleans.
50:35
Thus far, there's nothing to report on that
50:37
score at this time.
50:39
The investigation did find that both vehicles were
50:42
rented on the same car-sharing site, Turo.
50:44
In a statement, Turo said it was working
50:46
with law enforcement.
50:48
A troubling coincidence or linked events?
50:51
Las Vegas' sheriff also confirmed that they do
50:53
not believe the two attacks were the work
50:55
of a major terrorist organization.
50:57
So the question is, is there any links
50:59
to ISIS?
51:00
And I will tell you that we don't
51:01
have any indication of that here in Las
51:03
Vegas, no overt ISIS flag as was seen
51:06
in New Orleans.
51:08
But again, we are investigating every aspect of
51:11
this, and if that comes to light, we'll
51:13
certainly update you.
51:14
With the area under tight security, the FBI
51:16
said the driver of the rented Tesla died
51:19
in the blast.
51:19
And a reminder that we had a so
51:23
-called terrorist attack also set up by FBI
51:26
with Omar Mateen of the Pulse nightclub in
51:30
Florida in 2016 when Trump just came in.
51:33
This is what these crazy people do.
51:36
Oh yeah, let's make ourselves really relevant for
51:39
the president coming in.
51:41
We got terrorists, ISIS in America, everybody.
51:45
It's disgusting.
51:47
And they do the same script.
51:48
They forget that the No Agenda show has
51:50
the clips.
51:51
We have all the old clips.
51:52
We have the clips.
51:53
We have your clips.
51:57
That's troubling.
52:00
It's quite annoying.
52:02
Yeah.
52:02
And then you get these poor innocents that
52:04
just get killed.
52:05
I have the Trump casino incident NTD clip.
52:11
This is part of this, this is how
52:13
the NTD reports on the casino explosion at
52:17
the Trump Hotel in Vegas.
52:20
Over in Las Vegas, one person was killed
52:22
and seven more were injured when a Tesla
52:25
Cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel
52:28
earlier today.
52:29
Just a warning, some viewers may find the
52:31
following footage disturbing due to its graphic nature.
52:35
Authorities say the car caught fire in the
52:37
valet area of the hotel around 8.40
52:39
a.m. local time.
52:41
A person died inside the vehicle.
52:44
Seven bystanders received minor injuries and were taken
52:47
to a hospital for treatment.
52:49
Police are investigating the incident as a possible
52:52
act of terror.
52:53
No cause was given and details remain scarce.
52:57
This is a developing story and we'll keep
52:59
you updated.
53:02
Hmm.
53:02
You know, Musk came out with a tweet
53:04
about the initial, you know, Brunetti sent some
53:10
notes around, you got one, that he believes
53:12
it was fireworks that this guy was hauling
53:14
around to blow up locally, which you can
53:17
do.
53:18
But if there was a bomb or anything,
53:22
which Musk kind of thinks there was, and
53:25
he was bragging about the strong sides of
53:29
the Tesla truck, it's so rugged and well
53:33
-built that the explosion could only go up.
53:35
Yes.
53:36
And it couldn't go out to the sides
53:37
and do any damage, and then he pointed
53:38
out that even the windows of the doors
53:40
right there weren't even broken.
53:43
This whole thing is just, I think the
53:46
initial thesis that this is a botched operation.
53:49
And then we need to add this little
53:51
ditty to it.
53:53
To some breaking news now.
53:55
The FBI arresting a Virginia man earlier this
53:57
month after finding what prosecutors described as the
54:00
largest seizure of homemade explosives in bureau history.
54:04
In court documents, prosecutors say Brad Kenneth Spafford
54:07
is an extreme danger to the community, and
54:10
they're trying to keep him in jail.
54:12
They say he had a stockpile of more
54:13
than 150 pipe bombs, with some preloaded into
54:18
a wearable vest.
54:19
Let's get right to our Ken Delaney.
54:21
And Ken, what is Spafford charged with right
54:23
now, and what else did investigators say they
54:25
found?
54:26
As of now, Valerie, he's only charged with
54:28
illegally possessing a short-barreled unregistered rifle.
54:32
But it seems pretty clear they're planning more
54:34
charges.
54:34
They were arguing to this federal judge that
54:36
he should not be released on bond because
54:39
he's a danger to the community, not only
54:41
because they recovered that massive cache of explosives,
54:44
but because he appears to be an anti
54:46
-government extremist.
54:47
They said that he was using pictures of
54:49
President Biden for target practice, and he talked
54:51
to a neighbor about bringing back political assassinations.
54:55
So he appears to have some very extreme
54:57
beliefs, and the federal government wants him behind
54:59
bars.
55:00
That's where he is right now, while a
55:01
judge considers the evidence, Valerie.
55:04
Yeah, of course, we don't know much about
55:05
this case, but I do like the idea
55:07
of incarcerating him for the thought crime.
55:10
Because that's basically what it is.
55:13
You know, what's up with these IEDs?
55:15
Did he really have IEDs in a vest?
55:17
I mean, this is all sketchy details at
55:19
this point, but the only...
55:20
Yeah, it sounds like it's very poorly organized.
55:22
But, I mean, was he shooting at target
55:25
practicing of Biden?
55:27
Well, that's probably...
55:29
Well, that's all according to the neighbor.
55:31
According to the neighbor.
55:32
According to the neighbor.
55:33
Yeah, the neighbor.
55:34
Okay.
55:35
And then here's the lawyer.
55:36
And, Ken, what is his lawyer saying about
55:38
all of this?
55:39
Well, his lawyer is pushing back strongly against
55:41
the idea that he's a danger to the
55:43
community.
55:43
He hasn't spoken specifically to the seizures of
55:46
explosives, but he's saying that the idea that
55:49
this man is dangerous and an anti-government
55:51
extremist is overblown and concocted, and there's no
55:54
evidence of that.
55:54
No evidence.
55:55
Initially, a judge ruled that he could be
55:57
released with electronic monitoring, but the prosecutors urged
56:00
that judge to reconsider, and he remains behind
56:03
bars at this hour.
56:04
Yeah, at this hour.
56:05
Because it's good for the story.
56:07
It's good for everybody to get all spun
56:08
up and all excited about it.
56:14
Well, there you go.
56:15
Lone Wolf.
56:16
The Lone Wolf are back.
56:17
Or is it?
56:18
Is it just the Lone Wolf?
56:20
Or...
56:21
We have an actual...
56:24
The Lone Wolf.
56:25
We got this...
56:26
We used this Lone Wolf howl for the
56:29
first time in 2011.
56:35
2011, the first time we used that.
56:39
Yeah.
56:40
And then, you know, just so you know,
56:42
we've been down this path so many times.
56:45
Oh, we've...
56:46
We have...
56:46
This story is just repeating.
56:48
Repeating.
56:49
Ow!
56:50
ISIS.
56:53
We will follow them to the gates of
56:57
hell.
56:58
ISIS.
57:02
ISIS in America, everybody.
57:04
That's right.
57:05
That's the whole point.
57:05
Just keep thinking that.
57:06
ISIS in America.
57:08
So, changing topics, but not changing complete topics.
57:13
I do have this musk clip, because we
57:16
talked about musk, because it confirms your...
57:20
Well, I think we both agree on this,
57:22
but...
57:23
Oh, yeah.
57:24
I love my ex-timeline.
57:27
People are like, Yo, man, Curry was right.
57:30
He was right.
57:30
Curry was right.
57:32
Curry's been talking about this for years.
57:34
For years.
57:35
The thing is, Curry's been talking about it
57:37
for years, but musk has been talking about
57:39
it longer.
57:40
I know.
57:41
That's where Curry got it from.
57:43
Yeah, exactly.
57:44
The CEO of social media platform X, formerly
57:46
known as Twitter, teasing X-TV, X-money,
57:49
and more in 2025.
57:51
X-money!
57:51
Elon Musk wants to be in everything app.
58:06
The X-app is going to be the
58:08
way you manage your life.
58:10
I mean, that's what Elon's really got envisioned
58:12
for it.
58:19
No, we don't.
58:21
No, we don't forget that.
58:22
Click and go.
58:23
Click and go.
58:24
Click and buy.
58:25
Click and buy.
58:25
Every message, every tweet will have the ability
58:28
to be monetized, and obviously that's the big
58:31
secret sauce here.
58:32
Secret sauce!
58:40
Nice.
58:47
Mm-hmm.
59:11
They're going to assassinate Musk someday.
59:15
The banking industry is not going to take
59:17
this lightly.
59:18
No.
59:19
That's a good point.
59:20
The banking industry, yes.
59:22
Well, if anyone's seen the movie, a good
59:24
movie, I would recommend, go check it out.
59:25
It's very funny.
59:26
Well, not funny, but it's interesting.
59:29
It's called The International.
59:30
Ah, it's a great movie.
59:31
Isn't that with, what's that actor's name?
59:36
Well, people in the troll room will come
59:38
up with the actor's name, but it's a
59:40
tremendous film, and it's about...
59:42
Clive Owen.
59:43
Clive Owen.
59:45
Yeah, Clive Owen.
59:46
It's a very, it's just a terrific film.
59:49
About BCCI, right?
59:52
Pretty much, yeah.
59:54
BCCI?
59:54
Yeah.
59:55
Well, since we're talking about digital money, Fifi
59:59
Lagarde came out.
1:00:00
She is, of course, convicted of crimes in
1:00:04
France, but it doesn't matter.
1:00:05
That's why she went from the International Monetary
1:00:08
Fund to the president, the boss over there
1:00:11
at the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve,
1:00:14
if you will, of the European Union, and
1:00:16
she wished everybody a happy 2025.
1:00:18
Things are great, of course.
1:00:21
Things are great.
1:00:21
It's going to be even better, and just
1:00:23
wait.
1:00:23
I want to wish all of you a
1:00:25
happy new year.
1:00:26
Happy, healthy, prosperous 2025.
1:00:31
So we have a big, heavy agenda at
1:00:34
the ECB.
1:00:34
Heavy agenda.
1:00:35
We have made significant progress in 2024 in
1:00:38
bringing down inflation.
1:00:40
Yeah, yeah.
1:00:40
Ask my daughter about that inflation that you
1:00:42
brought down.
1:00:43
And hopefully 2025 is the year when we
1:00:46
are on target, as expected and as planned
1:00:50
in our strategy.
1:00:51
Of course, we will continue our efforts to
1:00:53
ensure that that inflation stabilizes sustainably at that
1:00:58
2% medium-term target.
1:01:00
We will also be reviewing our monetary policy
1:01:03
strategy.
1:01:03
Why do we do that?
1:01:04
Yes, why do you do that?
1:01:05
I thought you already did that.
1:01:06
Just did that in 2021.
1:01:07
Well, we're doing it to ensure that it
1:01:10
still fits the changing world in which we
1:01:13
live.
1:01:14
Uh-huh.
1:01:15
This is changing fast.
1:01:16
Oh, yeah.
1:01:17
Now here it comes.
1:01:18
Here comes the money shot.
1:01:19
We are fit for 2025 and following.
1:01:23
Another significant development on the horizon is our
1:01:26
digital euro.
1:01:27
We are in the preparation phase, and we
1:01:30
are expecting European legislation.
1:01:33
Once that is done, we will decide whether
1:01:36
we move forward with developing a digital form
1:01:40
of cash.
1:01:41
Your digital euro.
1:01:43
Your digital.
1:01:43
She's already doing the slogan.
1:01:45
Your digital euro.
1:01:46
Don't worry, it's coming, Europe.
1:01:47
And you know, we are also working on
1:01:49
banknotes.
1:01:50
We are in the process of redesigning our
1:01:53
banknotes.
1:01:54
This is interesting.
1:01:54
The long-standing exercise that will not be
1:01:58
completed in 2025, but significant moves will take
1:02:02
place with the design phase.
1:02:04
It reflects a commitment to innovation while also
1:02:07
preserving the trust and security that our currency
1:02:10
represents, both in banknote form and in digital
1:02:14
form.
1:02:15
So, when you talk about the security in
1:02:17
banknote form, I'm thinking, yes, plastic, embedded with
1:02:21
some kind of tracking mechanism, guaranteeing that she's
1:02:25
crazy.
1:02:26
Those people are crazy.
1:02:27
She is crazy, but I don't think you
1:02:28
can make that work.
1:02:29
Well, I'm just hearing what she's saying.
1:02:32
All you have to do, okay.
1:02:33
So, you've got a bunch of plastic bills.
1:02:36
They're either good or they're bad.
1:02:38
You take the bill, and you put it
1:02:40
in the microwave and give it about 15
1:02:42
seconds.
1:02:43
That'll blow out anything in there that's a
1:02:45
circuit.
1:02:46
Yeah, but then it won't be valid currency
1:02:48
when you go to pay.
1:02:49
No, it will be.
1:02:50
There's no way they could invalidate the currency
1:02:53
for that happening, because that could happen by
1:02:54
accident.
1:02:54
What are you talking about?
1:02:55
This is exactly what's going to happen.
1:02:58
I'm holding a bill that says 20 euros.
1:03:00
You give me my money.
1:03:01
And the way the new cash registers work
1:03:03
is you hold up the bill against the
1:03:06
little sensor, and it says, okay, this is
1:03:07
that bill.
1:03:08
We know who has that bill.
1:03:09
And if that's the case, you don't need
1:03:11
bills at all.
1:03:12
You might as well have it embedded in
1:03:13
the palm of your hand.
1:03:14
Yes.
1:03:15
Well, hello.
1:03:16
Hello, Mark of the Beast.
1:03:17
Thank you for taking us there in the
1:03:20
palm of your hand.
1:03:21
Exactly.
1:03:22
And do you think that Fifi's going to
1:03:24
let Elon use X money in Europe?
1:03:26
I don't think so.
1:03:29
There's no way.
1:03:31
In communist China, yeah, of course, you can
1:03:34
use the everything app.
1:03:38
In Europe, communist Europe?
1:03:40
Mm-mm.
1:03:40
Mm-mm.
1:03:41
You got to use the digital euro, my
1:03:43
brother.
1:03:43
That's not going to happen.
1:03:45
It's not going to happen.
1:03:48
Well, it's not going to happen for whatever
1:03:50
reason.
1:03:50
Well, that digital euro is coming.
1:03:52
I believe that.
1:03:53
I fully believe that's happening.
1:03:55
They're going to try.
1:03:56
Everyone wants to do these things.
1:03:57
I fully believe that's happening.
1:03:58
Fully believe it.
1:03:59
Of course, we have our own fun here
1:04:03
in the United States.
1:04:04
We've been tracking this for over a decade
1:04:06
on the show.
1:04:06
Let's start with some of these new travel
1:04:08
requirements that are supposed to be coming in
1:04:10
2025.
1:04:11
And one of them we've been talking about,
1:04:12
it feels like, for about 20 years.
1:04:14
We have, literally, right?
1:04:15
But TSA says 2025 is the year we're
1:04:18
going to get real, y'all.
1:04:19
As in the real ID.
1:04:21
We're going to get real, y'all.
1:04:23
May.
1:04:23
Come on.
1:04:24
I'll bring it when I see it.
1:04:25
You got to be, if you're 18 and
1:04:27
up, May 7th, bring a real ID to
1:04:29
travel domestically in the U.S. This is
1:04:31
part of an effort to make sure everything
1:04:33
is secure federally.
1:04:34
If you do not have a real ID,
1:04:36
you can use your passport.
1:04:37
But here's what it looks like.
1:04:38
You may already have one.
1:04:38
Maybe the last time you renewed your driver's
1:04:40
license.
1:04:40
It has a little star at the top.
1:04:42
There you go, in the upper right-hand
1:04:43
corner.
1:04:44
That's how you know if you have a
1:04:45
real ID.
1:04:46
Check your state DMV for how to do
1:04:47
it.
1:04:48
Now, if you are going to the United
1:04:49
Kingdom, this is real.
1:04:51
And it's happening next week, January 8th.
1:04:54
You have to have an electronic travel authorization,
1:04:56
an ETA, for travel in the United Kingdom.
1:04:59
I know.
1:04:59
I know.
1:05:00
What does that mean?
1:05:00
I'm out.
1:05:01
What do you know?
1:05:02
And it means that it's good for two
1:05:04
years and you can go where you need
1:05:05
to go in the U.K. But you
1:05:06
need to get on and figure that out
1:05:08
because they're not going to let you go
1:05:09
to the U.K. without.
1:05:09
The other thing that you're going to need
1:05:11
if you're traveling to Europe, 30 countries, including
1:05:13
places like France, Germany, Spain, is this ETIAS.
1:05:18
The ETIAS, the European Travel Information Authorization System.
1:05:22
Money gouge.
1:05:23
That, technically, is TBD, but it's 420.25.
1:05:25
You have to pay 7 euros, and then
1:05:27
that puts you into the system.
1:05:28
You register online, and that will allow you
1:05:30
to travel to 30 European countries and territories.
1:05:33
So, in reverse order, it's the European version
1:05:36
of our ESTA.
1:05:38
Of our what?
1:05:39
ESTA.
1:05:40
I think it's called ESTA.
1:05:41
E-E-S-T-A.
1:05:42
If you're coming from Europe, you have to
1:05:44
pay, I think it's $7, maybe, funny enough,
1:05:48
and have an ESTA.
1:05:49
It's like a visa.
1:05:51
You do it online.
1:05:51
And now they're saying, oh, you've got to
1:05:52
do it for us, too.
1:05:54
Americans.
1:05:55
You want to come over here?
1:05:55
It's like when you go to Japan, you
1:05:56
have to pay to get out of the
1:05:58
country.
1:05:58
Yes, that's right.
1:06:02
Yeah, with cash.
1:06:03
You have to pay with cash.
1:06:04
I know.
1:06:05
It's like, do you have any bills?
1:06:06
Can't let you out.
1:06:08
Yeah, you've got to do that when you
1:06:09
leave.
1:06:10
And, of course, the real ID.
1:06:12
You're right.
1:06:13
This is just a gouge.
1:06:14
Yeah.
1:06:14
It's just like nickel and diming the traveling
1:06:17
public.
1:06:17
The real ID.
1:06:19
This is the same, by the way, the
1:06:20
same gouging which has been taking, took over
1:06:23
the hotel business with all these phony baloney
1:06:25
fees.
1:06:25
It's taken over the rental car business with
1:06:28
all these phony baloney fees.
1:06:29
There's fees for parking.
1:06:31
The re-parking the car back in the
1:06:33
lot, there's a fee.
1:06:34
There's a fee for the rental asphalt.
1:06:38
There's a fee.
1:06:39
I mean, it says it's $19 a day,
1:06:41
but it ends up being $50 a day
1:06:42
because of all these fees.
1:06:44
This is unbelievable that this is continuing at
1:06:47
this clip.
1:06:49
Then the real ID, of course, that is
1:06:52
just to solidify.
1:06:53
Let me stop you there again.
1:06:56
When we started following the real ID story,
1:07:00
which was over 10 years ago, there was
1:07:04
an outcry amongst the conservatives in particular and
1:07:08
the Republicans and everybody.
1:07:09
Oh, my God, they're trying to track us
1:07:11
all.
1:07:12
They just wanted, there's just a way of
1:07:13
maintaining, you know, control of the public and
1:07:16
they went and it was a big fuss
1:07:17
about it and no one was buying it.
1:07:19
Now, all of a sudden, it's fine.
1:07:21
What changed?
1:07:22
Oh, yeah.
1:07:22
Well, what changed is that when you go
1:07:25
through TSA, they take your driver's license and
1:07:27
now it will be certified.
1:07:29
It is in Texas with a real ID
1:07:30
and that means the picture we have on
1:07:33
you, which will expedite your journey with facial
1:07:40
recognition, will be all certified.
1:07:43
This is already here.
1:07:45
The test they did is already grandfathered in.
1:07:47
It's not a test.
1:07:48
They just went through it, going to Europe
1:07:50
and back.
1:07:50
It's all facial recognition.
1:07:52
All of it.
1:07:53
It's here.
1:07:55
And it's all going up to Starlink.
1:08:00
Elon has control of all of it.
1:08:03
It's Elon.
1:08:05
It's not going up to Starlink.
1:08:07
It's all going up to Starlink.
1:08:09
That'll be the only internet you can get.
1:08:10
There's the Texas, the Fredericksburg coming out in
1:08:13
you every so, pretty soon you're going to
1:08:15
be gone.
1:08:15
You know that.
1:08:16
I'll be toast.
1:08:17
You'll be toast.
1:08:19
Not quite as toasty as the Cuomo kid
1:08:22
who did a New Year's prediction for 2025
1:08:27
that I think we need to listen to
1:08:29
because, you know, it's Chris Cuomo.
1:08:31
Let's be honest.
1:08:32
The guy knows what he's talking about.
1:08:34
Oh, I hope 2025 is everything you wanted
1:08:37
it to be.
1:08:38
How do we know?
1:08:39
We just started.
1:08:40
I'm Chris Cuomo.
1:08:41
Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project.
1:08:42
I'm going to do something that I don't
1:08:44
really ever do.
1:08:45
Make predictions.
1:08:47
And I'm bringing in for the help with
1:08:49
this segment, the one and only, the inimitable,
1:08:51
the new daddy, Mr. Greg Ott, not real
1:08:55
name, my producer.
1:08:57
Okay, I've got a prediction.
1:08:58
Number one.
1:08:59
The pod scape is going to change.
1:09:02
The pod scape is going to change, John.
1:09:04
I think we should pay attention.
1:09:05
The pod scape.
1:09:07
I didn't know there was a pod scape,
1:09:10
but okay.
1:09:11
It's news to me as well, but it's
1:09:13
now the pod scape.
1:09:14
And the people who were at the top
1:09:17
last year will not be at the top
1:09:20
all of this year.
1:09:22
Uh oh.
1:09:23
Uh oh.
1:09:24
The pod scape is changing.
1:09:25
This is pertinent to the podcast.
1:09:27
This is a podcast you're presumably watching.
1:09:29
Here's what has happened.
1:09:30
Okay.
1:09:31
Now.
1:09:31
Okay.
1:09:33
He says, okay, more than anybody else in
1:09:35
broadcast.
1:09:36
He does.
1:09:37
He does.
1:09:38
He also has a why.
1:09:39
He does that a lot too.
1:09:41
Why?
1:09:42
Why?
1:09:42
Because I got no one to ask me
1:09:43
why.
1:09:44
I'm just going to say why.
1:09:45
Okay.
1:09:45
Now.
1:09:46
Money rushed into the pod space and tons
1:09:49
of.
1:09:50
Now it's pod space.
1:09:51
What happened to pod scape?
1:09:52
I like pod scape.
1:09:52
What happened to pod scape?
1:09:54
I like pod scape.
1:09:55
Don't do pod space.
1:09:56
Okay.
1:09:57
Now.
1:09:58
Money rushed into the pod space and tons
1:10:01
of big and bad deals were made in
1:10:05
the last five years.
1:10:07
That money has dried up.
1:10:09
There's an, there's an aphorism in investing.
1:10:12
You never want to be first dollar in
1:10:14
first dollar and got killed.
1:10:16
People were given a lot of money for
1:10:17
their podcasts and people have gone broke.
1:10:20
They've been bad deals.
1:10:22
I'm kind of like what who went broke.
1:10:25
Who went broke over this?
1:10:27
Did Spotify go broke?
1:10:29
No, they spent a billion dollars poorly, but
1:10:31
they didn't go broke.
1:10:33
Did Amazon, you went broke.
1:10:35
Did Amazon go broke over, uh, over hiring
1:10:38
those, those numb nuts with the, what is
1:10:41
their, the, the podcast that has the presidents
1:10:43
on all the time?
1:10:44
No.
1:10:45
I don't listen to these podcasts.
1:10:48
All right.
1:10:49
Nobody got, went broke hiring Alex Cooper's the
1:10:52
other big moneymaker.
1:10:53
No.
1:10:54
And Gimlet got bought out, but that was
1:10:56
by Spotify.
1:10:56
Who went broke?
1:10:57
Nobody.
1:10:58
I mean, Gimlet got closed down after they
1:11:00
got bought out.
1:11:01
So how'd you go broke?
1:11:02
You get here, here's a hundred million dollars.
1:11:04
Oh, and all of you have to shut
1:11:06
you down.
1:11:07
Okay.
1:11:07
Well, okay.
1:11:08
Does that you going broke?
1:11:09
You got a hundred million dollars.
1:11:10
Give me a break.
1:11:13
First dollar in got killed.
1:11:14
People were given a lot of money for
1:11:16
their podcasts and people have gone broke.
1:11:19
They've been bad deals.
1:11:20
Let me just check.
1:11:21
Joe, are you broke?
1:11:22
Are you broke?
1:11:22
Joe, Joe, are you broke?
1:11:24
Joe says he's not broke.
1:11:25
Um, kind of like what happened when serious
1:11:27
thought that having, um, Howard Stern would make
1:11:30
them like a household thing.
1:11:32
Hasn't happened.
1:11:33
Just made him really rich.
1:11:35
Uh, but it's not like serious is everywhere
1:11:37
now, right?
1:11:37
They're just mainly in like rental cars.
1:11:39
Second dollar in with the pod scape with
1:11:42
this election, people now know that you can
1:11:45
get banged for your buck and you can
1:11:47
get reach and resonance.
1:11:49
And I'm telling you on the right and
1:11:52
on the anti-institutional side, you're going to
1:11:54
do a lot better than Joe Rogan and
1:11:56
his merry band of, you know, cut rate
1:12:00
comedians.
1:12:01
Okay.
1:12:01
So now Chris Cuomo is saying that Joe
1:12:04
Rogan, um, I'm, I'm, I'm going to defend
1:12:06
Joe a little bit here who in the
1:12:09
week before the election had president Trump on,
1:12:12
had vice president elect, uh, JD Vance had
1:12:15
Vivek on, had, uh, what's his face.
1:12:18
Elon Musk that, that he has just a
1:12:20
merry band of comedians.
1:12:22
That's what you're saying.
1:12:23
Chris Cuomo.
1:12:24
Okay.
1:12:25
Who is going to usurp this top spot?
1:12:28
And I'm not saying that those guys will
1:12:30
disappear.
1:12:30
Can you stop for a second?
1:12:31
Yeah.
1:12:32
There's a, uh, I was noticing this.
1:12:34
There is a, uh, the left has been
1:12:37
talking about this.
1:12:39
What Cuomo is actually, Cuomo is despite his
1:12:42
trying to be neutral is still influenced greatly
1:12:46
by the left.
1:12:47
He is invited to the dinner parties.
1:12:49
He goes to eat.
1:12:50
Yes.
1:12:51
The talk of the talk of the town
1:12:53
is what we've got to do to fix
1:12:55
the, our messaging.
1:12:56
Cause they, they don't see that their messages
1:12:58
are just bad.
1:13:00
You know, the trans, the trans agenda and
1:13:02
all the other crap.
1:13:03
Trans Maoist, trans Maoist, the trans Maoist, the,
1:13:06
uh, the defund the police.
1:13:08
They, they still don't get any of it.
1:13:10
They still think this is all good.
1:13:11
If they could sell it.
1:13:12
The problem is that they can't message it.
1:13:14
Right.
1:13:15
And so one of the things you hear
1:13:16
over and over and over again is all
1:13:18
we need to do.
1:13:19
And we can do this.
1:13:19
We can do it is we need a
1:13:22
left wing Joe Rogan.
1:13:25
Yes.
1:13:25
And, and thank you very much because you
1:13:28
are ahead of my clips here, but that's
1:13:30
good.
1:13:31
Cause that is exactly what Chris Cuomo is
1:13:33
talking about.
1:13:35
And I'm sure he will be a part
1:13:37
of it.
1:13:37
And I can also tell you who is
1:13:39
going to be doing it.
1:13:41
And Chris Cuomo.
1:13:42
Before you continue, I have one more little
1:13:43
addition to this.
1:13:44
This is the same way they were thinking
1:13:46
when Rush Limbaugh hit the scene is starting
1:13:48
in 87.
1:13:49
They said, all we needed to do was
1:13:51
do a left-wing version of Rush Limbaugh.
1:13:54
And they came up with air America.
1:13:56
And Rachel Maddow.
1:13:58
And Rachel Maddow who did, she did survive.
1:14:03
Oh, well, let's see who is going to
1:14:05
be part of this.
1:14:07
New, new, new leaders of the pod scape.
1:14:11
And I'm not saying that those guys will
1:14:12
disappear, but you're going to see better, bigger
1:14:16
talent come in.
1:14:17
Like what?
1:14:17
Like what?
1:14:18
He even, he even asked like what?
1:14:20
He doesn't even.
1:14:21
He's interviewing himself.
1:14:24
This is so good.
1:14:25
I'm just going to do that.
1:14:27
Tina, I love you.
1:14:28
Why?
1:14:29
Well, let me tell you why.
1:14:30
This is amazing.
1:14:32
Bigger talent come in.
1:14:33
Like what?
1:14:34
A guy like a Bill Burr.
1:14:36
Lefty.
1:14:37
Bill Burr.
1:14:38
Lefty.
1:14:39
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sorry.
1:14:43
I'm sorry.
1:14:44
Bill Burr, lefty.
1:14:46
Is going to get enticed into that space.
1:14:48
A guy like Louis CK.
1:14:50
Lefty.
1:14:51
Lefty.
1:14:52
These are leftist comedians.
1:14:54
CK.
1:14:54
Bill Burr has a podcast.
1:14:55
But I'm saying ramping it up, that there's
1:14:58
going to be money that puts it into
1:15:00
a steer where he's sitting with major people
1:15:02
as opposed to it just being an end.
1:15:05
That's what I'm saying.
1:15:06
Instead of it just being like an end
1:15:07
to what Bill Burr does, it's going to
1:15:10
be his thing.
1:15:11
Okay.
1:15:12
Stephen A.
1:15:13
Smith is going to explode on the landscape.
1:15:17
I don't know.
1:15:17
Do you know Stephen, Stephen A.
1:15:19
Smith?
1:15:19
Stephen A.
1:15:19
Smith is the black guy that is a
1:15:23
sportscaster who's a lefty, but he's actually more
1:15:28
of a righty recently.
1:15:29
He's actually going toward Trump.
1:15:31
And he's on the Mark Levin TV show
1:15:33
on Fox all the time as his buddy.
1:15:35
But if someone gave him enough money, he
1:15:38
would go right back to being lefty.
1:15:40
I'm just guessing.
1:15:41
Well, that may or may not be true.
1:15:43
But Stephen A.
1:15:44
Smith is one of those personalities that you
1:15:46
only take so much of.
1:15:47
He's good.
1:15:48
But he's not tolerable.
1:15:51
However, you can't just put up with him.
1:15:53
No, none of these people are going to
1:15:54
do what Joe Rogan does.
1:15:55
No, he's full of shit.
1:15:56
Okay, you're right.
1:15:58
I'm sorry.
1:15:58
But let's continue.
1:15:59
Stephen A.
1:16:00
Smith is going to explode on the landscape
1:16:03
of conversation.
1:16:05
So clearly we already know something.
1:16:07
There's a deal that's already been done with
1:16:09
Stephen A.
1:16:10
Smith.
1:16:10
Okay.
1:16:10
Okay.
1:16:11
And again, no disrespect to Rogan.
1:16:14
Okay.
1:16:15
We're never going to get through these questions.
1:16:16
And again, no disrespect to Rogan.
1:16:19
You must give him his props for building
1:16:21
a platform.
1:16:22
Good for him.
1:16:23
But now you're going to have better talent
1:16:26
in that space.
1:16:27
Okay.
1:16:28
Okay.
1:16:28
Now, the better talent in that space, which
1:16:31
is the pod space, also known as the
1:16:33
pod scape.
1:16:34
The whole time he's talking, I'm seeing behind
1:16:37
Cuomo a beautiful YouTube award.
1:16:41
A beautiful YouTube award, which you get for
1:16:44
being beautiful on YouTube.
1:16:45
And now in this final clip, it all
1:16:48
unrolls, for me at least, because I've been
1:16:51
tracking this push for a long time.
1:16:55
Google, a.k.a. YouTube, is going to
1:16:58
be financing a whole air America of podcasting
1:17:03
comedians on video.
1:17:05
And Chris Cuomo knows about it.
1:17:07
He knows what's going down, and I think
1:17:09
he's going to be part of it.
1:17:10
Just to piggyback on that, this came out
1:17:12
recently that more people are watching podcasts now
1:17:15
on YouTube, and you've been doing this.
1:17:16
This podcast dropped first on YouTube.
1:17:18
You, from the beginning, were like— So the
1:17:20
producer sets him up for it.
1:17:22
Hey, let's put myself online.
1:17:24
The producer's in on it.
1:17:25
Of course he's in on it.
1:17:26
So he sets it up.
1:17:27
Oh, this is a money grab.
1:17:29
Good for them.
1:17:30
Oh, yeah.
1:17:30
Just to piggyback on that, this came out
1:17:33
recently that more people are watching podcasts now
1:17:35
on YouTube, and you've been doing— Which, by
1:17:37
the way, is patently not true, but okay.
1:17:39
This podcast— And wait, stop.
1:17:42
You would know.
1:17:43
I would know.
1:17:44
Thank you.
1:17:45
You are the expert that never gets consulted
1:17:47
on these matters, and I bring this up
1:17:49
all the time because it's kind of a
1:17:51
thorn in both of our claws.
1:17:54
More yours.
1:17:55
Well, I'm the one who keeps bringing it
1:17:57
up because you don't want to, but I'll
1:17:58
bring it up.
1:18:00
You are never consulted on this, even though
1:18:02
you're responsible largely for the platform even existing.
1:18:08
There you go.
1:18:09
Enough said.
1:18:09
Enough said.
1:18:10
People are watching podcasts now on YouTube, and
1:18:12
you've been doing this.
1:18:12
This podcast dropped first on YouTube.
1:18:14
You, from the beginning, were like, hey, let's
1:18:17
put myself online.
1:18:17
People want to see me and hear me,
1:18:19
so it's like one product to one, but
1:18:21
the confluence is interesting to me.
1:18:22
Hold on.
1:18:23
Stop.
1:18:23
Sorry.
1:18:24
They want to see me and hear me.
1:18:27
What is this?
1:18:28
They don't necessarily want to see you or
1:18:32
anybody.
1:18:33
I don't even like looking at Cuomo.
1:18:34
This is the marketing.
1:18:35
And by the way, Spotify tried to get
1:18:38
in on this action, and they've so far
1:18:41
failed to launch properly for a whole bunch
1:18:43
of reasons.
1:18:44
But they know that YouTube is doing this
1:18:46
push, and I guarantee you there's going to
1:18:49
be big money from Google slash YouTube going
1:18:52
to leftists, if not complete left-wing.
1:18:56
They're going to do Air America on YouTube,
1:18:58
and YouTube doesn't have an audio platform.
1:19:01
They have a video platform, and this is
1:19:03
what they're doing.
1:19:04
Hey, let's put myself online.
1:19:05
People want to see me and hear me,
1:19:07
so it's like one product to one, but
1:19:08
the confluence is interesting to me.
1:19:10
This thing you used to listen to, it's
1:19:12
like, well, it's quite easy to get a
1:19:13
setup in your house like this and broadcast
1:19:16
in a very DIY way.
1:19:19
And people are now, especially a lot of
1:19:21
the YouTube stats are more people are watching
1:19:23
things on their televisions.
1:19:24
And thus, you sit down and watch a
1:19:26
show.
1:19:26
It's kind of a replacement talk show.
1:19:27
We talked about this before.
1:19:29
That's also bullcrap.
1:19:31
Prediction 1A is you will see mergers in
1:19:37
stream platforms.
1:19:39
Okay, Rumble.
1:19:40
Rumble, get ready to be bought.
1:19:42
I went to YouTube early because I believe
1:19:45
video kills the radio star.
1:19:47
Listen to what he's saying.
1:19:49
He believes video killed the radio star.
1:19:52
I went to YouTube early because I believe
1:19:55
video kills the radio star.
1:19:56
No, you went to YouTube early because you're
1:19:58
in on this complete gambit.
1:19:59
Good for you, by the way.
1:20:01
Good for you.
1:20:02
People want to see more than they want
1:20:04
to listen.
1:20:04
I'm not telling you not to listen.
1:20:06
Look, it's not my thing.
1:20:08
I do an audio book every now and
1:20:09
then.
1:20:09
I'd rather read.
1:20:10
But I want to see.
1:20:11
Why?
1:20:12
Why?
1:20:12
Because I'm a visual learner and you take
1:20:15
so much more in from people when you're
1:20:16
actually seeing them.
1:20:17
Yes.
1:20:19
The way people listen to podcasts on YouTube
1:20:21
is the YouTube app with it closed in
1:20:24
their pocket while it's playing.
1:20:25
That is the true numbers.
1:20:27
People are listening to them on YouTube.
1:20:30
That's what happens.
1:20:31
Do you want to watch it with Trump?
1:20:33
Yeah, you probably want to watch it with
1:20:34
Trump.
1:20:35
But what he's saying here is not true.
1:20:37
He's parroting the exact YouTube propaganda slash marketing
1:20:41
they've been rolling out for the past three
1:20:44
years at conferences, everywhere.
1:20:46
There's podcasts.
1:20:47
Oh, you got to have video.
1:20:50
Without video, there's nothing.
1:20:51
People want to see it.
1:20:52
This is the big YouTube push.
1:20:53
Obviously reading.
1:20:55
Let me stop again.
1:20:57
So this commentary that the video killed the
1:21:00
radio star, it only refers to MTV.
1:21:04
It refers to the buggles.
1:21:06
It refers to radio drama and radio, anything
1:21:10
that was radio pre 87 when radio took
1:21:16
over the talk show game on the right.
1:21:20
The right wingers all figured it out that
1:21:23
that radio yakkers on radio yak yak yakkers
1:21:26
and the call in shows were replaced.
1:21:30
The old radio video has not replaced those
1:21:34
guys.
1:21:34
When Rush Limbaugh tried to do TV, he
1:21:37
did it two or three times.
1:21:38
It was always.
1:21:39
I remember it was horrible.
1:21:40
And it turned out that Rush Limbaugh were
1:21:43
talking for three hours, three hours a day,
1:21:46
every day was much more effective.
1:21:48
Just pure audio.
1:21:50
And so that video killed.
1:21:53
And he made $400 million a year with
1:21:56
that radio program.
1:21:57
$400 million a year.
1:21:59
He was making a lot of money and
1:22:01
he did get a $400 million dollar deal.
1:22:03
I don't know if it wasn't per year.
1:22:05
I don't.
1:22:05
Yes, it was.
1:22:06
Yes, it was.
1:22:07
I had the same syndicators.
1:22:08
I know what they were doing.
1:22:10
Well, he was making plenty of money.
1:22:12
Yeah.
1:22:12
And the point is, is that the video
1:22:15
has never killed that aspect of it.
1:22:17
When it comes to talking, the talk show
1:22:20
format, you don't want video.
1:22:22
It doesn't work.
1:22:24
All right.
1:22:24
21 seconds left.
1:22:26
We can do it.
1:22:27
Obviously, reading them texts, you get the least
1:22:29
context, the least feel.
1:22:31
Hearing their voice, you get more.
1:22:33
But seeing them and hearing them.
1:22:34
This is YouTube.
1:22:35
This is YouTube's marketing.
1:22:37
To me, it's a no brainer.
1:22:38
But what you will see, prediction 1A, is
1:22:41
consolidation in platforms.
1:22:43
Because the problem right now is there are
1:22:45
too many different places that you have to
1:22:47
go.
1:22:48
And you need to monetize.
1:22:50
And they are going to start buying each
1:22:51
other up.
1:22:52
Yeah.
1:22:52
Okay.
1:22:53
YouTube is going on a buying spree.
1:22:55
They're doing exactly what Spotify did.
1:22:57
Which, by the way, I think will be
1:22:58
a mistake.
1:22:58
They will have exclusives to YouTube.
1:23:01
And it's going to be these comedians that
1:23:03
you just heard.
1:23:04
Chris Cuomo will have a part.
1:23:05
He may even have a network deal.
1:23:07
You know, so-called Chris Cuomo truth network
1:23:09
or whatever.
1:23:11
And, of course, Google's in with the Democrat
1:23:15
Party.
1:23:16
They're in on it.
1:23:17
No, they're Democrats is the point.
1:23:20
They're Democrats.
1:23:21
Yes, they're Democrats.
1:23:22
Big time.
1:23:23
And they're propagandistic Democrats.
1:23:25
But I'm going to tell you that this
1:23:27
will not work.
1:23:28
This is a flawed strategy.
1:23:30
We already can tell this.
1:23:31
Yeah.
1:23:31
But I want to mention something.
1:23:33
I don't think Chris Cuomo going on and
1:23:35
on about theorizing about podcasting when he's been
1:23:37
a broadcaster all his life is so loaded
1:23:42
with bull crap.
1:23:43
He's just full of it.
1:23:44
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
1:23:47
He doesn't.
1:23:51
Oh, man.
1:23:52
It's great, though.
1:23:53
It's great.
1:23:54
So he's in on it.
1:23:55
He's in on the YouTube deal.
1:23:57
And I'm pretty sure, not financial advice, but
1:24:01
I would think Rumble would be bought up.
1:24:03
I don't think Brideon is on deck for
1:24:05
an acquisition.
1:24:07
But this is- Bitch, shoot.
1:24:08
Bitch, shoot.
1:24:09
This is exactly what Spotify did.
1:24:13
And it's flawed.
1:24:15
And why?
1:24:17
It's flawed.
1:24:18
Why?
1:24:19
Why?
1:24:20
I'm going to start doing that.
1:24:20
I don't need you anymore.
1:24:22
It's flawed.
1:24:22
Why?
1:24:23
It's flawed because people are already burning out
1:24:26
on the format.
1:24:28
The format that Joe Rogan solidified, and Joe
1:24:32
still does well, is now Lex Friedman.
1:24:35
It's Theo Vaughn.
1:24:38
It's going to go on and on and
1:24:39
on and on.
1:24:40
And people get tired of the guests.
1:24:42
They get tired.
1:24:42
There's only so much room in people's lives
1:24:44
for a three-hour conversation.
1:24:47
And Rogan owns that space?
1:24:49
I think he does, yes.
1:24:51
And he's got a great interviewing style because
1:24:54
it's super casual.
1:24:56
It's down to earth.
1:24:57
He's got this chops to do it.
1:24:59
He knows what he's doing.
1:25:00
He keeps the conversation moving.
1:25:02
He seems inquisitive in a way that I
1:25:04
think the public feels the same way he
1:25:07
does when he has his inquisitive style or
1:25:10
his inquisitive questioning.
1:25:13
He's got that locked down.
1:25:15
He's not going anywhere.
1:25:17
No.
1:25:18
And these other guys are just trying to,
1:25:20
you know, everyone wants to be the next
1:25:22
Joe Rogan.
1:25:22
No, you've got Joe Rogan.
1:25:23
Be the next something else.
1:25:26
Well, but, I mean, you know from history
1:25:29
that they want to have the Rush Limbaugh
1:25:32
on the left.
1:25:32
They want the Joe Rogan of the left.
1:25:34
They thought it was call her daddy.
1:25:37
Massive fail, but they put— All Alex does
1:25:40
is talk about blowjobs.
1:25:42
If you've ever listened to her show, she's
1:25:44
preoccupied with it.
1:25:46
I don't.
1:25:46
Actually, I don't listen to her show.
1:25:48
Well, I have because I look for those
1:25:49
little end of show clips, which I collect,
1:25:53
and she's got the right voice for it.
1:25:55
And her old partner, Sophia with an F,
1:25:57
who actually does a better show than Alex
1:26:00
does because she's not— I mean, both of
1:26:03
these girls are perverted, which makes it kind
1:26:06
of interesting.
1:26:07
I think a lot of comedians need to
1:26:09
think long and hard about what they do
1:26:10
between now and the kickoff of this new
1:26:13
network.
1:26:14
I don't know what they're going to call
1:26:16
it, but it will be the YouTube—we'll just
1:26:19
call it Air America on YouTube.
1:26:22
Whitney Cummings is an example, who I think
1:26:24
is a fine comedian.
1:26:26
She blew all her chances during the New
1:26:28
Year's Eve coverage by CNN, which is basically
1:26:32
two gay guys and a ball dropping.
1:26:34
It's Anderson Cooper.
1:26:36
And also that big ball in Times Square.
1:26:39
Yes, exactly.
1:26:39
So she roasted 2024, and here's what she
1:26:44
said, very short.
1:26:45
2024 election fried our brains.
1:26:47
The Democrats couldn't hold a primary because they
1:26:49
were too busy holding a body upright.
1:26:52
Are we still rolling?
1:26:53
Am I off?
1:26:54
Go for it.
1:26:56
It was amazing that the pro-choice party
1:26:58
didn't give their voters one when it came
1:26:59
to the presidential candidate.
1:27:01
Kamala was forced on us so hard you'd
1:27:03
think she was patented by Pfizer or Moderna,
1:27:06
whichever one.
1:27:07
Oh, God.
1:27:08
Andy just gave me a very scary look.
1:27:11
She's disinvited from the party.
1:27:15
A little disparaging comment about Pfizer, you're done.
1:27:18
About Pfizer, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris.
1:27:21
I mean, no, I think you kind of
1:27:23
ruined your chances there.
1:27:25
Well, she's out of the party circuit.
1:27:26
Yes, she is.
1:27:28
So anyway, that's what we have to look
1:27:30
forward to for 2025.
1:27:32
It's going to be a hootenanny.
1:27:34
It's going to be a lot of fun.
1:27:35
It's going to be great.
1:27:37
It's going to be great.
1:27:38
Oh, it's not.
1:27:38
It's going to be a lot of similar
1:27:41
shows competing with each other for the same
1:27:43
guests and the same talking points.
1:27:45
It's like those giant networks.
1:27:47
These guys set them up and there's one
1:27:49
show after another.
1:27:50
Nobody listens to any of them because they're
1:27:52
all basically the same format.
1:27:54
They're dumb.
1:27:55
Yes, they are.
1:27:56
It's completely dumb.
1:27:58
The whole thing is dumb.
1:28:02
Take us somewhere else, John.
1:28:04
Let's do something else.
1:28:05
Why?
1:28:05
I do have a couple of New Year's
1:28:08
things.
1:28:08
This is all over the place.
1:28:11
Have you heard about the KOMARI method?
1:28:16
The KOMARI method?
1:28:18
KONMARI.
1:28:19
K-O-N-M-A-R-I method.
1:28:21
No.
1:28:22
It's in Good Housekeeping.
1:28:24
It's in every magazine.
1:28:25
This is the big thing for 2025.
1:28:28
It's a cleaning method, which appeals to me
1:28:31
at least in basis because it has like,
1:28:34
oh, maybe I can clean up my office.
1:28:37
And it's a big deal for 2025.
1:28:40
We can probably have two clips, one longer
1:28:42
than the other.
1:28:43
But this introduces it, the KONMARI method.
1:28:47
And there's no time like the start of
1:28:48
a new year to finally organize your home.
1:28:50
The KONMARI method of home organizing just might
1:28:53
be what you need to put your home
1:28:54
in order once and for all.
1:28:56
The simple methodology created by Japanese Titan guru
1:28:59
Marikondo asks homemakers to sort through every individual
1:29:03
item they own.
1:29:04
You figure out whether or not each one
1:29:06
brings you joy, determining what to keep and
1:29:09
how to store it.
1:29:10
Kondo recommends doing this by category, beginning with
1:29:13
clothing, then books, paperwork, miscellaneous items, and finally,
1:29:17
mementos.
1:29:18
Entity's Chris Spears wanted to find out what
1:29:20
it's like to actually do this.
1:29:21
So he met with film history teacher David
1:29:23
Grotto, who did the KONMARI method with the
1:29:26
help of a KONMARI consultant.
1:29:28
Okay, this is a repackaging of Marikondo's method,
1:29:32
which has been around for years.
1:29:34
This is not new.
1:29:35
It's really been repopular, right?
1:29:36
You're right, repackaged.
1:29:37
It's not new.
1:29:37
And by the way, if I may, the
1:29:40
Marikondo method of packing your suitcase is one
1:29:45
that my wife, the keeper, follows.
1:29:48
And it's a very interesting method.
1:29:52
Please explain.
1:29:53
It consists of rolling everything up.
1:29:56
You roll things up into a tube.
1:30:00
And again, she is the best packer.
1:30:03
This is what attracted me to her.
1:30:05
She is one of the best packers in
1:30:06
the universe.
1:30:07
That's how she got the nickname that I
1:30:09
gave her.
1:30:09
That's correct.
1:30:10
That's how she got the keeper, because she
1:30:11
can pack a suitcase.
1:30:12
I have arguments with my wife, my beautiful
1:30:16
Tina Marie, every single time.
1:30:18
We go to Europe, she says, well, I
1:30:21
want to get into one suitcase, but you
1:30:23
know, there's a lot.
1:30:23
I said, well, can we take two suitcases?
1:30:25
No, I don't want to have a suitcase
1:30:28
that is half full.
1:30:29
She literally has a problem with packing a
1:30:32
suitcase half full.
1:30:33
She wants to try and get it all
1:30:35
into one.
1:30:36
That's good for her.
1:30:37
It's amazing.
1:30:38
Well, if you've ever traveled with somebody who
1:30:41
overpacks.
1:30:42
We're paying for two.
1:30:43
I said, we're paying for two suitcases.
1:30:44
We can take two.
1:30:46
It's prepaid.
1:30:47
You should put an online advertisement.
1:30:50
You'll be shipping goods, and you can use
1:30:53
the second suitcase for product.
1:30:56
For product and profit.
1:30:59
All right, the KonMari method.
1:31:00
So the KonMari method, which is outlined in
1:31:03
the second part of the clip, and it
1:31:04
goes on forever, but I ended it after
1:31:07
this longish clip.
1:31:09
Give me a break.
1:31:12
That would summarize.
1:31:14
You have an item.
1:31:15
I've got this item.
1:31:16
Let me look at my desk right here.
1:31:18
A random item.
1:31:20
I got an item.
1:31:22
It's this little noisemaker.
1:31:25
So the noisemaker.
1:31:29
Stop.
1:31:30
If it gives me joy.
1:31:32
Yes, you keep it.
1:31:33
I keep it.
1:31:34
Yes.
1:31:35
That's basically all there is to it.
1:31:37
Yes, if it gives you joy, keep it.
1:31:39
If not, it's out.
1:31:43
Well, it gives me joy.
1:31:45
Hey, there's a modem going off.
1:31:49
More importantly, it gives me joy.
1:31:51
It gives everybody joy to hear your noisemakers.
1:31:54
Your office should just be a desk, a
1:31:58
computer, and a lot of noisemakers.
1:31:59
Nothing else gives you joy like those noisemakers.
1:32:02
That's the go-to gift for John C.
1:32:04
Dvorak.
1:32:05
What should I give Grandpa?
1:32:06
A noisemaker?
1:32:07
We had one of our producer females that
1:32:10
was sending me a lot of stuff.
1:32:11
She's the one that sent me this kind
1:32:14
of a thunder things.
1:32:20
A lot of this came from her.
1:32:21
I think she stopped listening to the show.
1:32:23
Well, because of the noisemakers, obviously.
1:32:25
Here we go.
1:32:26
I have too much stuff.
1:32:27
I'm kind of a pack rat, especially with
1:32:28
books.
1:32:28
Okay, stop right away.
1:32:30
This will be my last interruption.
1:32:33
This guy who's some teacher, and he's moved
1:32:36
into a small New York apartment.
1:32:38
He's got too much junk.
1:32:40
He is sitting in a chair that is
1:32:43
the size of a room.
1:32:45
It's a big, giant chair that is taking
1:32:50
up half the space of his apartment, and
1:32:52
he's sitting in this thing as they're interviewing
1:32:55
him on video.
1:32:55
And I'm thinking, if you got rid of
1:32:57
that chair, you'd have plenty of room for
1:33:00
everything.
1:33:00
But okay, anyway, I just thought I'd mention
1:33:02
it.
1:33:02
I have too much stuff.
1:33:03
I'm kind of a pack rat, especially with
1:33:05
books, records, and memorabilia things.
1:33:08
And so it just got out of control.
1:33:10
I mean, the apartment is overrun already with
1:33:13
stuff.
1:33:14
And, you know, I felt like I was
1:33:16
in danger of being one of those hoarders.
1:33:18
David moved into his New York City apartment
1:33:20
in 2018.
1:33:21
He emptied a lifetime worth of stuff from
1:33:24
his storage locker into his small space.
1:33:28
With the ensuing clutter, he knew he had
1:33:30
to do something about it.
1:33:31
Originally, I just thought I want to hide
1:33:34
everything and make it just neat, you know.
1:33:38
But then I discovered that I really had
1:33:40
to let go of stuff.
1:33:42
To help him do that, David hired professional
1:33:44
home organizer Hiroko Watanabe.
1:33:47
She uses the Konmari tidying method and is
1:33:50
a certified master Konmari consultant.
1:33:54
I mean, I don't know how it is
1:33:55
for other people.
1:33:55
But I can't imagine anyone doing this just
1:33:58
on their own, just by reading Marie Kondo's
1:34:00
book or watching her show.
1:34:01
I can't imagine anybody really doing this without
1:34:04
some, you know, help.
1:34:06
On day one with a new client, Hiroko
1:34:09
goes through a sort of ritual where she
1:34:11
kneels in the middle of the space in
1:34:14
the house.
1:34:14
Space.
1:34:15
Quietly closes her eyes and does what she
1:34:18
calls greeting the home where she sort of
1:34:20
introduces herself.
1:34:22
What is this nonsense?
1:34:24
Support the client in the process of becoming
1:34:26
and staying organized.
1:34:28
Then she goes through a process of helping
1:34:31
the client come up with a vision for
1:34:33
their ideal lifestyle.
1:34:34
And this simple vision helps guide the entire
1:34:37
organizing journey.
1:34:40
The Konmari method is very unique method.
1:34:44
What you want is by touching the item
1:34:49
and if the item is a spark joy
1:34:52
or not.
1:34:52
And if that item is not spark joy,
1:34:56
let it go.
1:34:57
And when you let it go, let it
1:35:01
go with gratitude.
1:35:03
This is wow.
1:35:05
What a great business.
1:35:06
This is one of the best business ideas
1:35:08
for 2025.
1:35:08
If you're looking to get into a new
1:35:10
business, go and greet the home at the
1:35:14
people who you're going to help organize.
1:35:15
Be a professional home organizer.
1:35:17
I believe this has a great future.
1:35:19
It helps if you're Asian.
1:35:21
So you can spark a joy.
1:35:24
This is crazy.
1:35:25
This is crazy.
1:35:27
Spark a joy.
1:35:27
You're racist.
1:35:28
Yes, I'm racist.
1:35:29
If it's spark a joy, you keep it.
1:35:31
Very good.
1:35:32
I'm Marie Kondo method.
1:35:33
Please.
1:35:34
All right.
1:35:35
Then let me do the last of the
1:35:37
2025 predictions.
1:35:38
I wouldn't have played this if it wasn't
1:35:40
on the BBC.
1:35:42
It's actually predictions for up to 2050 because
1:35:46
this old coot can apparently see that.
1:35:50
I don't think he'll be with us in
1:35:51
2050, but here's what it's going to be.
1:35:54
Get ready, everybody.
1:35:55
Let's look forward.
1:35:56
Can you paint a picture for us of
1:35:59
what if we survived and perhaps we will
1:36:01
in this new world to 2125, what our
1:36:05
world would be like?
1:36:06
Well, let's just look at 2050 first, because
1:36:09
that really gives us a whole lot.
1:36:11
This guy's good.
1:36:12
That's how far away 100 years is going
1:36:15
to be.
1:36:16
2050 is only 25 years away.
1:36:18
We will have direct links between our brains
1:36:21
and computers by then.
1:36:23
Then the computers will be hundreds or maybe
1:36:25
even millions of times with their very advanced
1:36:29
conscious eyes.
1:36:31
And if you've got access to that, it
1:36:33
basically multiplies your IQ by about 1000.
1:36:36
You just add an extra two or three
1:36:37
digits onto your IQ.
1:36:39
In the same time frame, we have the
1:36:41
ability to link your brain to the computer
1:36:44
so well that 99 percent of your thoughts
1:36:47
will happen inside the computer.
1:36:49
And when your body dies of old age
1:36:51
and you get cremated, it doesn't really matter.
1:36:54
You can just carry on using the 99
1:36:56
percent, which you've already got running in the
1:36:58
computers.
1:36:58
Go back to work on Monday morning, hire
1:37:00
an Android and you're back in the real
1:37:02
world.
1:37:02
So that's the kind of world we're looking
1:37:05
at in 2050.
1:37:06
You will have virtually electronic immortality, vastly superhuman
1:37:10
IQs, and you'll even start to get some
1:37:12
basic superpowers because you can modify your genetics
1:37:16
in the 2050 time frame too.
1:37:18
So the second business idea for 2025 is
1:37:21
become a futurologist.
1:37:23
Just get business cards, print it up, futurologist,
1:37:26
and you can get on the BBC and
1:37:28
spout stuff like this.
1:37:29
That is outrageous.
1:37:32
The guy with the butterfly net should go
1:37:35
pick him up immediately.
1:37:37
If you're going to do this, wait, I've
1:37:39
got a topper.
1:37:39
No, but I'm trying to get to the
1:37:41
break here.
1:37:43
Well, you're going to get to the break
1:37:44
right after this.
1:37:45
Okay.
1:37:45
Because I've got three clips.
1:37:46
Oh, no.
1:37:49
Yes.
1:37:49
This is the big thing they're doing now.
1:37:52
This is all over the place, and they
1:37:54
have it on different…
1:37:55
Wait a minute.
1:37:56
Wait a minute.
1:37:57
You just said that about Marie Kondo, which
1:37:59
was a repackage of five years ago.
1:38:01
Same thing.
1:38:02
This is the repackage of what happens every
1:38:04
year.
1:38:05
But this time, NPR is going to an
1:38:06
extreme, and they're pushing the hell out of
1:38:08
this.
1:38:10
Dry January.
1:38:11
Oh, yeah.
1:38:12
Dry January.
1:38:14
Now, so I have three clips, and this
1:38:16
will take us right out of here because
1:38:17
the last clip is a dynamite one.
1:38:19
Okay.
1:38:19
It would still go right.
1:38:20
You don't even have to do a joke
1:38:22
after it.
1:38:22
Here we go.
1:38:23
Dry Jan.
1:38:24
Dry January, when people take a break from
1:38:26
drinking alcohol for the month, has become a
1:38:29
popular practice at the start of the new
1:38:31
year.
1:38:32
By the way, from the millennial in New
1:38:34
York who currently is working in the service
1:38:37
industry, she is very concerned about dry January.
1:38:41
She feels that because of dry January, her
1:38:44
tips will dry up as well.
1:38:47
So if you listen to these reports, these
1:38:51
same people should be giving mocktails and giving
1:38:54
big tips.
1:38:55
Virginia Public Radio's Brad Kuttner spoke with researchers
1:38:58
who say a pause is a good idea,
1:39:00
even if it's just for one month.
1:39:03
Heads up to those who imbibe Dr. J
1:39:05
.P. Arab, director of alcohol sciences at VCU
1:39:07
Health, has some bad news.
1:39:09
Now we have extensive data showing that there
1:39:13
is no benefit of alcohol.
1:39:16
Arab's focus is on liver problems.
1:39:18
He's seen patients without other symptoms walk into
1:39:21
his office because they've suddenly turned yellow from
1:39:23
jaundice, which means their liver is shut down,
1:39:25
often from alcohol abuse.
1:39:27
Arab said there's no nerves in your liver,
1:39:29
so you won't know until it's too late.
1:39:30
But even if you're not sure you've got
1:39:32
a problem, it may be a good time
1:39:33
to try dry January just to find out.
1:39:36
VCU professor Francesca Lynn has taken part in
1:39:39
dry January a few times.
1:39:41
Sometimes her friends were doing it.
1:39:42
Other times she lost a loved one and
1:39:44
didn't want to fall down a worse path.
1:39:45
She still drinks occasionally now, but she can
1:39:48
see why it might help those who need
1:39:49
it.
1:39:49
If you want to do something and stick
1:39:52
to something, then maybe it's just like maybe
1:39:56
it's not the alcohol.
1:39:57
Maybe it's goal setting.
1:39:58
Bartenders told me January is their slowest month.
1:40:01
So if you order a mocktail in line
1:40:02
with your dry January experiment the next few
1:40:04
weeks, consider tipping like it's top shelf.
1:40:07
All right.
1:40:10
So then it goes on.
1:40:11
They do.
1:40:11
As I listen more and hear the same
1:40:14
story repurposed in different ways.
1:40:17
And so they finally came up with these
1:40:19
last two clips.
1:40:21
And this is different.
1:40:23
People have come on and they have some
1:40:25
some ideas.
1:40:26
Oh, so how you can do this in
1:40:29
this.
1:40:29
The first one is sober treats.
1:40:31
Oh, goodness.
1:40:32
Yeah.
1:40:33
I mean, my favorite thing to suggest is
1:40:36
to actually plan out what I call sober
1:40:39
treats.
1:40:40
And in the beginning, in your first week
1:40:43
or two, I recommend planning them out every
1:40:45
single day.
1:40:46
So, for example, on Friday nights, instead of
1:40:50
getting a bottle of wine, I would maybe
1:40:52
get a pedicure.
1:40:54
During the week, it might be blocking off
1:40:56
an hour on my calendar and going for
1:40:58
a walk somewhere really nice with music on.
1:41:01
Getting sushi takeout and watching a movie.
1:41:04
And honestly, once you stop drinking, like waking
1:41:08
up, feeling good, feeling clear, being in your
1:41:11
home in the morning when it's quiet with
1:41:14
coffee.
1:41:14
That's a sober treat.
1:41:16
Who is this moron?
1:41:18
She's obviously lives by herself.
1:41:20
She's a poor, hopeless single woman who listens
1:41:24
to NPR.
1:41:26
And she lives at home by herself.
1:41:29
Or an apartment, probably.
1:41:30
She's a renter.
1:41:32
A renter, yes.
1:41:33
And she has pedicures.
1:41:37
She's drinking crap to begin with.
1:41:40
I haven't had a headache from drinking for
1:41:42
20 years because I don't drink garbage.
1:41:46
And so the whole thing is like, okay,
1:41:48
fine.
1:41:49
Now, this last clip will take you right
1:41:52
to the break.
1:41:53
This is the sober two.
1:41:58
This is another selfish person.
1:42:03
Narcissistic or selfish or both?
1:42:05
I think it could be either one.
1:42:07
But it has a punchline that cracked me
1:42:10
up.
1:42:10
And I think it's just perfect.
1:42:12
Just go right into it.
1:42:13
We'll do our break right during this.
1:42:15
Go.
1:42:15
The last thing I would say is absolutely
1:42:18
don't volunteer to be a designated driver just
1:42:21
because you're not drinking.
1:42:23
People tend to immediately say, oh, you're doing
1:42:26
a no-alcohol challenge.
1:42:27
Great.
1:42:27
You can drive us.
1:42:29
And then you're stuck there until the end
1:42:31
with a whole bunch of people who might
1:42:32
get drunk.
1:42:33
And it's really annoying.
1:42:39
What a nice person.
1:42:41
And with that, I'd like to thank you
1:42:43
for your courage.
1:42:44
In the morning to you, the man who
1:42:45
put the Cs in charred carcasses.
1:42:48
Say hello to my friend on the other
1:42:49
end, the one and the only, Mr. John
1:42:51
C.
1:42:51
DeVore.
1:42:55
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam
1:42:57
Clayton.
1:42:57
In the morning, ships and sea boats in
1:42:58
the ground, feet in the air, subs in
1:42:59
the water.
1:43:00
Designated drivers and the dames and knights out
1:43:03
there.
1:43:03
In the morning to the trolls in the
1:43:05
troll room.
1:43:06
Let me count to you.
1:43:07
Let me see.
1:43:10
2,123.
1:43:14
That's more than usual.
1:43:17
Correct?
1:43:17
Today's what?
1:43:18
Thursday?
1:43:19
Yeah.
1:43:20
Our average is 1,800.
1:43:21
Yeah.
1:43:21
This is because of the debacle in New
1:43:25
Orleans.
1:43:26
Yes.
1:43:26
The debacle in New Orleans.
1:43:28
That's right.
1:43:28
That's why people tune in.
1:43:29
They need to.
1:43:30
It's the damnedest thing to witness.
1:43:32
No.
1:43:32
And it's a service.
1:43:35
This is why we're here.
1:43:36
That's right.
1:43:36
Because of that early clip I played, we
1:43:38
lost a third of them.
1:43:39
I know.
1:43:39
It probably was 4,000.
1:43:41
It could have been.
1:43:42
You and your talk clip, man.
1:43:43
I can't believe you did that.
1:43:45
No.
1:43:46
We do provide this as a service.
1:43:49
We have zero chance of being hired by
1:43:52
YouTube to do it for multiple reasons, including
1:43:57
we're not good on video.
1:43:59
So it's just not going to happen.
1:44:01
So instead, we do this public service to
1:44:04
everybody.
1:44:05
There's no difficulties in getting this show.
1:44:08
And you can get it anywhere you get
1:44:10
your podcast.
1:44:11
It doesn't have to be on one platform
1:44:13
where you could become deplatformed if you say
1:44:16
something bad about the Democrat Party or Kamala
1:44:19
or Joe or Pfizer, for that matter.
1:44:23
Or if you're racist and make racist jokes
1:44:25
about Spock Joy.
1:44:27
You know, all of this stuff.
1:44:28
But no, we give it to you raw.
1:44:30
We are who we are.
1:44:31
And the trolls join us through multiple avenues,
1:44:35
trollroom.io or the modern podcast apps, which
1:44:38
ensure you won't get deplatformed if you use
1:44:40
one of those.
1:44:41
Go to podcastapps.com.
1:44:43
And we do it value for value.
1:44:45
No ads.
1:44:46
We don't have to break.
1:44:47
We don't have to – well, of course,
1:44:49
we don't make $400 million like Rush Limbaugh.
1:44:52
But we have a lot more fun.
1:44:54
We have complete ultimate freedom.
1:44:56
And I think that is always the appeal
1:44:58
why people come back to us because they
1:45:00
know that there is no corrupting force in
1:45:02
our life.
1:45:03
And we can't even be captured by the
1:45:05
audience, which is the biggest problem for podcasters.
1:45:10
They're going to quit.
1:45:11
I got some letters to read.
1:45:12
They're going to quit their Patreon.
1:45:14
What do you have?
1:45:14
Do you have letters to read?
1:45:16
Did someone complain?
1:45:17
I have some letters to read from the
1:45:18
audience grousing.
1:45:19
We'll put that in the second half of
1:45:21
the show.
1:45:21
Oh, okay.
1:45:23
So, one of the ways that people can
1:45:25
give back to us, we appreciate money, of
1:45:28
course.
1:45:28
We call that treasure.
1:45:30
We have three of these T's, time, talent,
1:45:32
and treasure.
1:45:32
One way is for people to support us
1:45:34
by doing things that remove cost.
1:45:40
That's probably the biggest one right there.
1:45:42
Why do H-1B visas exist?
1:45:44
Because they have expensive employees.
1:45:46
We need to keep the shareholders happy.
1:45:48
We need to keep everybody happy.
1:45:50
So, we need to cut costs.
1:45:51
The way we cut costs is by having
1:45:53
our listening audience, who we call producers, produce
1:45:56
for us.
1:45:57
And produce they do with insights, with knowledge,
1:46:01
with boots on the ground, with clips, with
1:46:03
pointers, with all kinds of things.
1:46:06
You help us.
1:46:07
You producers, you help us by setting up
1:46:09
websites, by organizing meetups, and by creating artwork
1:46:14
for us.
1:46:15
Artwork that makes our show always sparkle and
1:46:17
shine and interesting.
1:46:19
Because people are like, what does this image
1:46:22
mean?
1:46:22
What is going on with this thing?
1:46:24
Ah, it's also a reminder when it shows
1:46:26
up in a podcast.
1:46:27
Oh, look at this piece of art.
1:46:29
There must be the boys over at No
1:46:30
Agenda.
1:46:31
So, we want to thank the artist who
1:46:32
gave us the artwork for episode 1725.
1:46:35
That was our pre-New Year's celebration.
1:46:39
And it was the perfect cheesecake.
1:46:40
Nice smile.
1:46:42
Nice little fireworks in the background.
1:46:45
Nice font that was used.
1:46:46
And a champagne glass.
1:46:48
Can't beat the bubbly.
1:46:49
Darren O'Neill prompted his way into success
1:46:52
once again with that artwork for episode 725,
1:46:56
which we titled AI Artificial Indian.
1:46:59
Again, we're super racist.
1:47:01
I got some people saying, you guys, you
1:47:04
call Indians racist.
1:47:07
You're racist.
1:47:09
Do you get any of that?
1:47:11
Oh, yeah.
1:47:11
Because we're saying that the Indians and the
1:47:14
tech companies, they're racist.
1:47:16
They are.
1:47:17
I know.
1:47:17
But then we're racist all of a sudden
1:47:19
for saying that.
1:47:20
Because we point this out.
1:47:21
Yes, we're racist.
1:47:23
I know.
1:47:24
Exactly.
1:47:25
We're racist.
1:47:28
Noagendaartgenerator.com is where anybody can upload.
1:47:31
You can also follow along during the live
1:47:32
show, see what people are uploading.
1:47:35
It's a lot of fun.
1:47:36
It's competitive.
1:47:38
And we like to discuss the pieces of
1:47:39
art that we chose and the ones that
1:47:41
we didn't choose.
1:47:42
And we'll take a look at it right
1:47:43
now.
1:47:44
This was my last show in Europe.
1:47:50
So we had a couple of European-themed
1:47:53
pieces.
1:47:54
I did like the Melania holding up the
1:47:57
deport Elon sign.
1:48:00
That was cool.
1:48:02
But then we had the – That wasn't
1:48:03
going to happen because we went with a
1:48:05
New Year's theme.
1:48:05
Yeah, we went with a New Year's theme.
1:48:07
And so there were a number of –
1:48:08
Nestworks uploaded a number of champagne bottles, which
1:48:11
– Yeah, those were good.
1:48:12
They were competitive.
1:48:13
They were competitive, yes.
1:48:15
But not quite as good as Darren's.
1:48:20
Let me see what – Well, mixing in
1:48:22
the cheesecake probably didn't hurt.
1:48:23
It didn't hurt.
1:48:24
It didn't hurt at all.
1:48:25
Let me see.
1:48:26
Was there anything else we were considering?
1:48:28
No, but I did use the one from
1:48:30
– I did use the Nestworks drone show
1:48:34
for the newsletter, which is the Happy New
1:48:36
Year Curry Dvorak, and it had all the
1:48:39
drones flying around.
1:48:40
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:48:41
That was okay.
1:48:42
It was okay.
1:48:43
It was okay.
1:48:46
NoahGenArtGenerator.com, that's where you can check them
1:48:48
all out.
1:48:48
And, of course, if you're using a modern
1:48:49
podcast app, we have great chapters, which Dreb
1:48:52
Scott will do for us once again in
1:48:54
this brand-new year.
1:48:55
And he uses many of the pieces of
1:48:57
art that are not chosen, so you can
1:49:00
always enjoy them there as well.
1:49:01
If you use it in the car, like
1:49:02
CarPlay or Android Auto, it'll switch – with
1:49:06
each chapter, it'll switch on your dashboard, which
1:49:08
is interesting and distracting.
1:49:10
Yes.
1:49:11
Don't blame us.
1:49:13
No, please don't.
1:49:14
Now let's thank people who supported us.
1:49:17
$50 and above will mention everybody and the
1:49:19
amount that they gave us.
1:49:20
We'd like to stop here for our executive
1:49:22
and associate executive producers, because just like Hollywood,
1:49:25
people who pony up the money, they get
1:49:27
the credit early on.
1:49:28
In this case, we have a dual mandate.
1:49:31
If you donate $200 or above, we give
1:49:34
you a forever credit of associate executive producer
1:49:37
for this episode, which is an official credit.
1:49:39
It can be used anywhere.
1:49:40
Go look at imdb.com.
1:49:42
You'll see over 1,000, and that's right
1:49:44
up there with anyone else who has Hollywood
1:49:45
credits.
1:49:46
And we'll read your note.
1:49:47
$300 – yes?
1:49:49
I was just going to say I'm going
1:49:50
to start off today.
1:49:52
$300 or above, and you get an executive
1:49:56
producer credit, and we also read your note.
1:49:59
And we're going to thank those executive and
1:50:01
associate executive producers now.
1:50:02
And I just heard John is starting us
1:50:04
off.
1:50:05
Yes, I am.
1:50:05
And you'll see why immediately.
1:50:08
This came from Isobel Pearson.
1:50:11
I think it's Isobel.
1:50:13
Isobel.
1:50:14
Isobel.
1:50:15
It's not Isobel?
1:50:17
No, it's like Isabel, only Isobel.
1:50:20
It's foreign.
1:50:21
It's foreign.
1:50:22
It's huge.
1:50:23
This came in through Weiss, we think.
1:50:26
It may not actually go through, but it's
1:50:30
$2,024, which is nice.
1:50:34
And I guess signing off for 2024.
1:50:37
Yes, that's very nice.
1:50:37
I know Isobel.
1:50:39
I have emailed with Isobel.
1:50:41
Oh, good.
1:50:42
ITM gentlemen, 2024 Year of the Dragon featured
1:50:45
my escape from the ever-oppressive UK to
1:50:48
south of France.
1:50:49
Well, I would say that's an upgrade.
1:50:52
Yeah, no kidding.
1:50:53
I abandoned my TV set, and with no
1:50:56
agenda in my ear, I positively immersed myself
1:50:59
in the lifestyle.
1:51:00
I'm excitedly developing a Garder's based in Marciac
1:51:07
in the heart of Gascony, which is to
1:51:10
be a boutique hotel and luxury venue.
1:51:14
Well, I know where we're going to stay.
1:51:16
I have pictures.
1:51:17
I've seen pictures.
1:51:18
And there's something extra that she's doing there,
1:51:21
which will make it even more attractive for
1:51:23
us.
1:51:23
I am proud to say that Too Many
1:51:25
Eggs recipe will feature as a cornerstone in
1:51:30
our farm as a table dining experience.
1:51:32
I'm hoping to combine the fine wines and
1:51:35
Armagnac with...
1:51:36
It's farm to table.
1:51:38
Farm to, oh, what did I say?
1:51:41
Farms is table.
1:51:42
I don't know what you said, but it's
1:51:43
farm to table.
1:51:44
You have to know what I said.
1:51:45
It's marketing.
1:51:46
I'm complaining.
1:51:47
Farm to table dining experience.
1:51:49
Yes, farm to table.
1:51:50
Well, yeah, in France, you can do farm
1:51:52
to table all over the place.
1:51:54
I'm hoping to combine fine wines and Armagnac
1:51:57
with wild...
1:52:04
Sanglier what?
1:52:05
That roam on the land.
1:52:06
What is a sanglier?
1:52:08
It's like a deer.
1:52:10
Sure?
1:52:10
No, but it sounds like it.
1:52:12
With regional delicacies to produce gastronomic excellence.
1:52:15
I hope you approve, well, we'll approve by
1:52:16
checking it out.
1:52:17
Yes.
1:52:18
In the interest of brevity, which is already
1:52:21
past due, I have consulted Adam separately for
1:52:26
his advice regarding my helipad development.
1:52:31
Oh, brother.
1:52:32
She's putting in a heli, but she has
1:52:33
approval.
1:52:33
She already has approval.
1:52:34
Good for her.
1:52:35
I think that's great.
1:52:36
It's a great idea.
1:52:36
You fly right in with a helicopter.
1:52:38
Are you kidding me?
1:52:40
So if you are going to go there,
1:52:42
15% off for producers of No Agenda.
1:52:44
The quote, ITM 15, when you visit the
1:52:46
website and follow the journey, www.puregarderes.com.
1:52:53
That's G-A-R-D-E-R-E

1:53:00
Check it out.
1:53:01
It's fantastic.
1:53:03
So how did she...
1:53:04
You said she paid with WISE?
1:53:07
Yes, this came through as a WISE donation,
1:53:09
and there's issues with WISE in our bank
1:53:13
because of the fee structure.
1:53:15
Because of our bank.
1:53:16
No, we have gotten plenty of WISE donations,
1:53:20
but the way they always work is if
1:53:22
it's set up at the sending bank, and
1:53:26
then it goes through ACH or some other
1:53:28
technology gets through.
1:53:30
But anyway, so I want to thank her
1:53:32
for this donation.
1:53:33
It'll get straightened out.
1:53:34
I'm not worried about it.
1:53:36
Well, thank you very much, Isabel.
1:53:37
And I look forward to landing with my
1:53:40
chopper on your property with your farm-to
1:53:42
-table.
1:53:43
I'm excited about that, and I can't wait
1:53:44
for those fancy French deer, that venison.
1:53:48
Up next, with $620 for the show, Alexander
1:53:52
Nelson says, Happy New Year from Finland, though
1:53:55
I reside in FEMA Region No.
1:53:56
9.
1:53:57
I've been on a $4-a-week plan
1:53:58
for two years.
1:53:59
This is one of those sustaining donations.
1:54:01
And this lump donation should bump me to
1:54:04
knighthood.
1:54:04
Big thanks to Dame Girl Kylie.
1:54:07
What was the donation amount?
1:54:09
$620.
1:54:11
Big thanks to Dame Girl Kyle, not Kylie,
1:54:14
and Sir Jackie Green for hitting me in
1:54:16
the mouth.
1:54:17
Jackie Green doing his work.
1:54:19
I'm reaching out to No Agenda Nation, hoping
1:54:21
someone might have legal advice or resources to
1:54:24
help me bring my wife, Yenna, back to
1:54:26
the U.S. Yenna and I have been
1:54:28
together eight years and married for the last
1:54:30
four.
1:54:30
Unfortunately, her refusal of the experimental COVID injection
1:54:34
and all other jabs still required by the
1:54:37
CDC as a condition of legal immigration has
1:54:40
led to years of heartbreak and involuntary separation
1:54:43
from each other.
1:54:44
And he has a summary of the story,
1:54:45
which I will summarize.
1:54:47
I'm a U.S. citizen.
1:54:48
Yenna and I met in 2017 while she
1:54:50
was a foreign grad student from Finland at
1:54:52
UC Davis.
1:54:53
I was at a nearby community college.
1:54:54
We fell in love and built a life
1:54:56
together, with me eventually transferring to Stanford, where
1:54:58
I earned degrees in chemistry and environmental science.
1:55:02
Yenna is an incredibly talented pattern designer, has
1:55:04
launched her own business with her creations licensed
1:55:07
and featured in stores and commercial spaces.
1:55:10
See below, Luavolo, luavoloflow.com.
1:55:15
She left the U.S. in spring of
1:55:17
2020 when talk of border closures began to
1:55:20
avoid accidentally overstaying the extension on her student
1:55:22
visa.
1:55:23
The pain of separation with no end in
1:55:25
sight, however, led me to fly to Finland
1:55:27
on a near-empty jetliner so we could
1:55:29
be married in her hometown that summer.
1:55:32
Okay, so I understand what's going on here.
1:55:36
We applied for the U.S. spouse visa
1:55:42
and became approved as legit in nine months.
1:55:44
However, the final step of the immigrant visa
1:55:47
process involves an exam of medical history, including
1:55:50
vaccine records.
1:55:51
She openly refused all jabs and was thus
1:55:53
deemed inadmissible.
1:55:55
Okay, so this is true.
1:55:58
Now, there's two ways to get into the
1:56:00
United States, legally and illegally.
1:56:03
If you are going illegally, you just cross
1:56:05
the border, eagle pass, and they will not
1:56:07
ask you about your injection, certainly not the
1:56:08
COVID vaccine.
1:56:09
But you, law-abiding citizen, you fool, his
1:56:13
wife is now, they've now been apart for
1:56:15
a long time, even though they're married.
1:56:17
He's been flying over back and forth.
1:56:19
He says, I need help.
1:56:21
Does anyone in no agenda nation have help?
1:56:24
And I would like to say that I
1:56:27
have a great immigration lawyer for you.
1:56:30
So email me, adammccurry.com.
1:56:32
I will set you up.
1:56:33
And if anyone can do it, this guy
1:56:35
can do it.
1:56:36
And I think there may be ways to
1:56:38
do it.
1:56:39
But this is a sad story.
1:56:41
He would like to be known as Sir
1:56:43
Sisu, if available.
1:56:45
Otherwise, Sir Saburo.
1:56:47
I think Sir Sisu is available.
1:56:49
And we will be knighting him later on
1:56:51
today.
1:56:51
Thank you for the heartbreaking note.
1:56:53
And, again, email me.
1:56:54
I will set you up with my immigration
1:56:56
lawyer.
1:56:59
And if anybody else has any ideas, too.
1:57:01
Well, this is the guy.
1:57:03
Okay.
1:57:04
I've done this a couple of times.
1:57:05
So there's also the, well, yeah.
1:57:09
I think, by the way, if you took
1:57:11
the eagle pass route.
1:57:12
It's probably easier and cheaper.
1:57:13
As you came across, you get a cell
1:57:15
phone, a $5,000 credit card.
1:57:18
What am I thinking?
1:57:20
Why pay $5,000?
1:57:21
You get the credit card, the cell phone.
1:57:23
It's still available.
1:57:25
You still got some time.
1:57:26
Before January 20th.
1:57:27
And you might actually get a free ride
1:57:29
to where your destination.
1:57:31
It's a bus.
1:57:32
But maybe you get flown.
1:57:33
You never know.
1:57:34
You can get flown.
1:57:35
It happens.
1:57:37
Jonathan Glover's next on the list.
1:57:38
He's in Long Beach, California.
1:57:40
He came in with $376.24. Greetings, gents.
1:57:44
I'm in major need of de-douching.
1:57:50
You've been de-douched.
1:57:52
Started listening after the first Rogan appearance by
1:57:54
Adam.
1:57:55
Loved the show.
1:57:56
Finally had to give something back.
1:57:57
Please accept my classic caliber donation of $357,
1:58:02
as in 357 magnum.
1:58:05
Dot 38, as in 38.
1:58:07
Nice.
1:58:08
So he added fees.
1:58:08
I like that one.
1:58:09
That's a good one.
1:58:10
$357.38. Classic caliber donation.
1:58:13
$357.38. Very nice.
1:58:17
Matthew Ross is next in Indian Trail, North
1:58:20
Carolina.
1:58:21
And he sends in $351.64. Now, I
1:58:26
just wish we had the original.
1:58:29
The numerology gets thrown off.
1:58:31
I have a problem with this on the
1:58:33
spreadsheets.
1:58:33
I wish we could change this.
1:58:35
Because people are doing numbers, and sometimes they
1:58:37
don't mention that it includes fees, and then
1:58:39
we get screwed.
1:58:40
Anyway.
1:58:41
Well, it's just the way it is.
1:58:44
Anyway, he says, I was a little drunk
1:58:46
just before the ball dropped in Times Square
1:58:48
this year.
1:58:48
I was at a comedy show of John
1:58:50
Reap's in Charlotte, North Carolina, with my new
1:58:52
girlfriend Johanna.
1:58:54
Johanna.
1:58:55
Yes, he sent a picture.
1:58:56
I saw it.
1:58:57
In his act, he mentioned Charlotte Panther's mascot,
1:58:59
Sir Purr.
1:59:01
Well, that was my final reminder of the
1:59:03
day to donate, and I got it just
1:59:04
under the wire, 11.45 p.m. Eastern
1:59:07
time.
1:59:08
Hashtag business expense.
1:59:09
Other things happened today.
1:59:11
Totally random things that I felt were signs
1:59:13
as well.
1:59:14
From hearing Alan Stone's unreleased song, Reasons Why,
1:59:17
to 333 on my trip meter when pumping
1:59:21
gas at Costco.
1:59:22
Hashtag coincidence, I think not.
1:59:24
Jingle.
1:59:25
Sunday morning service into doublespeak of the week.
1:59:27
Please knight me, sir.
1:59:28
Clip of the day.
1:59:29
Thank you again for being the constant voices
1:59:31
grounding me when my late wife of 22
1:59:33
years passed in 2018.
1:59:35
I'm finally moving on, and my three kids
1:59:37
are doing better.
1:59:38
Hashtag IPM.
1:59:39
I'm happy to hear that, brother.
1:59:41
That's good news.
1:59:42
Good news for 2025.
1:59:44
My children, it's a Sunday morning service.
1:59:48
Tell us it's a no agenda.
1:59:50
We're going to get some Adam Curry.
1:59:52
We're going to get a little Josh.
1:59:56
Lord, help us all.
1:59:57
It's the double doublespeak of the week.
2:00:00
The double doublespeak of the week.
2:00:02
Hadn't heard that one in a long time.
2:00:05
Justine Cowdery Palmer in Bozeman, Montana.
2:00:10
Big sky country.
2:00:11
Big, big 350 bucks.
2:00:13
She says nothing in so far as a
2:00:15
note's concerned.
2:00:16
So she'll get a double up karma for
2:00:17
today.
2:00:18
You've got karma.
2:00:24
And we've got Sir Tyler checking in from
2:00:26
Anchorage, Alaska.
2:00:27
343 75.
2:00:29
Happy New Year to get my nation from
2:00:30
Tyler at Tyler systems dot com.
2:00:32
Where before we panic about being dominated by
2:00:35
Sam Altman's foe, AGI, we first ask it
2:00:38
to print.
2:00:40
So far, no dice.
2:00:41
How disappointing.
2:00:42
Until we can offer our fellow producer.
2:00:44
Until then, we can offer our fellow producers
2:00:46
a prototype T1 with our public-private Skynet
2:00:49
consortium partners.
2:00:50
You'll find us toiling away at working on
2:00:52
using large language models to help automate a
2:00:55
lot of the big, boring bureaucratic processes that
2:00:58
still dominate and operate much of our lives,
2:01:01
both at work and at home.
2:01:02
I believe trust is more monetizable now than
2:01:05
ever, and there are enough B2B leaders receptive
2:01:07
enough to value for value and shareware.
2:01:10
The model that I hope it's possible to
2:01:12
build a business off of it.
2:01:14
This has been reassuring through an intense period
2:01:16
of boots-on-the-ground research, i.e.
2:01:18
pitch meetings.
2:01:19
Shoot for the big leagues, but end up
2:01:21
as win-rar.
2:01:23
What's wrong with that?
2:01:25
Yours truly, Tyler at Tyler systems dot com.
2:01:28
Sir Tyler in Alaska.
2:01:29
P.S. John, the Northern Lights was out
2:01:31
around New Year's, and a friend of mine
2:01:32
took this picture of his own plane near
2:01:35
Lake Hood in Anchorage.
2:01:37
Enjoy.
2:01:38
When will you be joining us?
2:01:39
He says.
2:01:41
Yeah, I'd love to go up there and
2:01:42
watch the Northern Lights on the right day.
2:01:44
So, Tyler systems dot com.
2:01:46
Apparently, they're doing a value for value proposition.
2:01:48
I'm interested to see how that goes.
2:01:50
Yeah, that would be interesting to see how
2:01:52
it goes.
2:01:52
Thank you, brother.
2:01:53
Meanwhile, Jason Schneider in Roseland, New Jersey comes
2:01:58
in with three thirty three thirty three.
2:01:59
And this is a switcheroo.
2:02:01
I.T.M. He says switcheroo donation in
2:02:04
the name of President Trump.
2:02:06
Oh, wow.
2:02:07
That hasn't happened.
2:02:08
No, it's funny.
2:02:09
It hasn't.
2:02:10
I propose when I propose whoever puts him
2:02:15
over the top should choose his night name.
2:02:20
Wait, I propose whoever puts him.
2:02:22
OK.
2:02:23
Oh, I see what they're saying.
2:02:25
In other words, it's census donations to Trump.
2:02:28
Ah, yes.
2:02:30
If he gets up to a thousand to
2:02:32
be knighted, someone gets to choose his night
2:02:34
name relation.
2:02:35
And he was asking for relationship, karma, jobs,
2:02:37
karma.
2:02:38
I want it all.
2:02:40
OK, well, we'll if you don't mind, we'll
2:02:42
bundle the relationship and the jobs, karma into
2:02:45
one jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
2:02:48
Let's vote for jobs, karma.
2:02:53
Then we have Dana Hildale from Raleigh, North
2:02:57
Carolina, with a note that Dana sent in
2:03:00
with a very nice, very nice handwriting.
2:03:03
Nice handwriting.
2:03:05
Dear John and Adam, this is three thirty
2:03:07
three dot thirty three.
2:03:09
This donation is my first executive producer donation
2:03:11
and earns my Damehood.
2:03:13
I'd like to be Dame Dana of North
2:03:15
Carolina and request a charcuterie board and a
2:03:18
Rombauer Chardonnay at the roundtable.
2:03:21
Adam, I love your analysis and kind spirit.
2:03:24
John, I love your giggle.
2:03:27
That says it all.
2:03:28
That says it all.
2:03:30
It's a giggle.
2:03:36
So I can do that voice without the
2:03:37
machine.
2:03:38
You do have a giggle, though.
2:03:39
There's a giggle.
2:03:40
Sometimes and usually I make a giggle.
2:03:43
But you do you do have a giggle.
2:03:49
OK, that is your witch.
2:03:51
Merry Christmas, Dana H.
2:03:53
Thank you, Dana H.
2:03:54
And we'll see you at the roundtable later
2:03:55
on.
2:03:57
I also do Krusty the Clown laugh.
2:03:59
Well, we the we the we.
2:04:01
Oh, no.
2:04:02
We Realty Inc.
2:04:04
We Realty Inc., which I assume is a
2:04:08
real estate company.
2:04:09
I think so.
2:04:10
And they have no location from the looks
2:04:13
of this.
2:04:14
I wish they would have put in a
2:04:16
note.
2:04:16
It would have been helpful.
2:04:19
Well, you guys can next time you donate,
2:04:21
make sure to put the name of the
2:04:23
town.
2:04:24
You guys are amazing.
2:04:25
I started listening during the pandemic after Adam
2:04:28
appeared again.
2:04:29
A second Joe Rogan donation.
2:04:31
It's hard to communicate how much this show
2:04:35
and you two have positively impacted my life.
2:04:40
Wow.
2:04:41
What we're doing is counter impacting the life
2:04:46
that was created by the mainstream media to
2:04:48
screw everyone.
2:04:49
Yes.
2:04:50
We didn't do that much, to be honest
2:04:52
about it.
2:04:53
It would be honest.
2:04:55
This donation is long overdue.
2:04:56
I'm donating a 330 in honor of my
2:04:58
son, Weston, born on November 13th, 2023 at
2:05:02
330 a.m. On the nose.
2:05:05
Oh, that's interesting.
2:05:06
Born at 330 on the nose.
2:05:10
Thank you for all you do.
2:05:11
Four more years.
2:05:13
We Realty.
2:05:14
That's we, W-E, Realty Inc.
2:05:16
All right.
2:05:17
Thank you.
2:05:17
We Realty Inc.
2:05:19
Sir Alex Vander Hengst, Springfield, Tennessee.
2:05:24
321-25.
2:05:26
Just says no jingles, no karma.
2:05:27
Sir Alex Vander Hengst.
2:05:29
Well, thank you very much.
2:05:30
It's beautiful.
2:05:32
And then we have Lavender Blossoms from Northville,
2:05:35
Michigan.
2:05:36
Yes, Sir Cal.
2:05:36
At 242.25 with no note.
2:05:40
What?
2:05:41
That's unusual for Sir Cal.
2:05:43
I think there should be a note.
2:05:44
It's missing in action.
2:05:46
What is his website?
2:05:48
Lavenderblossoms.org.
2:05:50
Lavenderblossoms.org.
2:05:50
Yeah, go to Lavenderblossoms.org and ask him
2:05:53
why he didn't send in a note.
2:05:54
Meanwhile, give him a double up karma.
2:05:57
You've got karma.
2:06:03
And there's our buddy Eli the Coffee Guy
2:06:05
who checks in from Bensonville, Illinois with 201
2:06:07
.02. And he says, of course, Happy New
2:06:10
Year, all.
2:06:11
As promised, 2025 started off with a bang,
2:06:14
literally.
2:06:15
Next thing you know, the media will be
2:06:17
espousing the hazards of electric vehicles.
2:06:19
Well, we already kind of heard that, didn't
2:06:20
we?
2:06:20
I'm just glad I started off the new
2:06:22
year right by enjoying a duck confit, Persian
2:06:25
meatballs in a pomegranate reduction, and washing it
2:06:28
all down with a box set of Bordeaux
2:06:30
from Costco.
2:06:31
Now you're talking.
2:06:33
But now that celebrations are over, it's time
2:06:35
to get back to the business of business.
2:06:37
Nothing helps you get it done like coffee.
2:06:40
So visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20
2:06:45
for 20% off your order and stay
2:06:48
caffeinated, says Eli the Coffee Guy.
2:06:51
Man, that's followed up by Linda Lou Patkin
2:06:53
in Lakewood, Colorado, who asks for jobs, jobs,
2:06:57
karma.
2:06:58
That blew it right off the bat.
2:07:00
200 bucks.
2:07:01
Take 2025 by storm with a resume that
2:07:04
gets results.
2:07:05
She writes.
2:07:06
Go to imagemakersinc.com for all your executive
2:07:08
resume and job search needs.
2:07:10
That's imagemakersinc with a K.
2:07:14
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs
2:07:17
and writer of resumes.
2:07:18
And she's doing quite well for herself.
2:07:20
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
2:07:23
Let's vote for jobs.
2:07:26
I have a process question, a production process
2:07:30
question.
2:07:30
Is there some agreement that we have that
2:07:34
you are the only one to read Linda
2:07:35
Lou Patkin's donation note?
2:07:38
No, it's been a tradition.
2:07:39
Yeah, but maybe we should mix it up
2:07:41
a little bit because you're clearly having issues.
2:07:43
Oh, you want to read it?
2:07:44
Yeah, I would like to read Linda Lou
2:07:45
Patkin's note.
2:07:46
Okay, from now on you're reading it.
2:07:47
Okay, so now I'll jump back to Michael
2:07:49
Supko in Belmar, New Jersey.
2:07:51
Oh, I know Belmar, who sent us $200
2:07:53
.79 and did not include a note.
2:07:58
You know what that means?
2:07:59
Yeah, that means a double up karma for
2:08:00
Michael Supko and Belmar.
2:08:02
You've got double up karma.
2:08:05
And that concludes our executive and associate executive
2:08:09
producers for episode 1726.
2:08:12
I did want to thank Frankenmuth Fudge, the
2:08:20
Frankenmuth Fudge Company.
2:08:21
Oh, yes, Frankenmuth Fudge.
2:08:22
I should mention we also got some fudge
2:08:24
from a, which I haven't sent you.
2:08:26
They sent it to me.
2:08:27
I have to send it to you.
2:08:28
We also got some fudge from some homemakers,
2:08:32
and we also got some coasters that are
2:08:34
beautiful, little wooden coasters that were made by
2:08:37
one of our female producers that say No
2:08:41
Agenda Show on them, and it's very, very
2:08:43
pretty.
2:08:43
I have two of those for you.
2:08:45
Well, thank you.
2:08:47
I received in the P.O. box upon
2:08:49
our return, I received a package of four
2:08:51
blocks, four blocks of fudge.
2:08:54
Yes, the Frankenmuth Fudge.
2:08:55
Which you can get at noagendafudge.com.
2:08:58
Do you get the cookie, the dough one,
2:09:00
the cookie?
2:09:01
Okay, so we had a New Year's dinner,
2:09:03
and we took a bar.
2:09:06
I mean, this is a literal bar.
2:09:07
It's like a gold bar.
2:09:08
No, it's huge.
2:09:09
It's a bar of fudge.
2:09:10
If you ate the whole thing, you'd be
2:09:12
dead.
2:09:13
Well, I will say that the people at
2:09:16
this dinner party were blown away.
2:09:19
They could not believe the quality.
2:09:21
They loved it.
2:09:22
One of them actually said, that's Frankenmuth Fudge.
2:09:25
She was from Michigan, knew all about it.
2:09:28
Oh, yeah.
2:09:29
So Jesse, JC's wife, knows all about it.
2:09:32
It's a very famous company in Michigan.
2:09:34
It's famous.
2:09:34
And they're like, those guys support your show?
2:09:37
Like, really?
2:09:37
That stupid podcast you do on the pod
2:09:40
scape?
2:09:40
Really?
2:09:41
I said, yeah, believe it or not.
2:09:42
We're large.
2:09:43
We're big.
2:09:44
We're nationwide.
2:09:45
That's how we roll.
2:09:46
So thank you for that.
2:09:47
And, again, thank you to, we'll be thanking
2:09:49
everybody, $50 and above, in our second segment.
2:09:51
But thank you to these executive and associate
2:09:53
executive producers for making it all happen today.
2:09:56
Noagendadonations.com is where you can support us.
2:09:59
That's noagendadonations.com.
2:10:00
Thank you for supporting our latest episode.
2:10:02
Our formula is this.
2:10:06
We hit people in the mouth.
2:10:12
What else?
2:10:14
Order.
2:10:18
Shut up, Steve.
2:10:23
Yeah.
2:10:24
Did you see that 60 Minutes had a
2:10:29
Mossad guy on talking about the pagers and
2:10:32
the walkie-talkies?
2:10:34
I did not see this.
2:10:35
Oh, man.
2:10:37
So they have a guy on, and he's
2:10:41
got a ski mask, glasses.
2:10:43
They use a phony voice.
2:10:45
And he's talking about, oh, no, he explains
2:10:48
the whole thing, how they did the pagers
2:10:50
and the walkie-talkies.
2:10:51
I have a number of clips if you're
2:10:53
interested.
2:10:54
I think I saw parts of this, not
2:10:56
to mention it.
2:10:57
Play them.
2:10:59
On September 17th, after Israel and the terrorist
2:11:02
organization Hezbollah had been in an escalating war
2:11:06
for nearly a year, the Israeli spy agency
2:11:10
Mossad launched one of the most daring and
2:11:13
sophisticated deceptions in the history of counterintelligence, the
2:11:17
pager plot, a modern take on the Trojan
2:11:21
horse.
2:11:22
Mossad created a bomb in a pocket and
2:11:26
tricked Hezbollah fighters into unwittingly wearing these devices
2:11:30
on their bodies.
2:11:31
The repercussions of the plot have been dramatic,
2:11:35
including aiding in the fall of the Assad
2:11:38
regime in Syria, the weakening of Iran, and
2:11:42
the decimating of the target of the plot,
2:11:45
Hezbollah.
2:11:45
We spoke with two recently retired senior Mossad
2:11:50
agents with leading roles in the operation.
2:11:53
To hide their identities, we agreed they could
2:11:56
wear a mask and have their voices altered.
2:12:00
It was really a sight to be seen
2:12:02
with a full on, you know, like a
2:12:06
mask.
2:12:06
A ski mask, I think.
2:12:08
The whole ski mask, the dark shades.
2:12:10
I don't know why this was done.
2:12:13
I mean, other than to tout that Mossad
2:12:15
is awesome, I'm not sure.
2:12:18
Yes, there's no...
2:12:20
Yeah, I'm with you on this.
2:12:22
Why?
2:12:22
Why?
2:12:24
Why do you do this?
2:12:25
Why don't you just shut up?
2:12:26
Yeah.
2:12:28
And, you know, you can gloat amongst yourselves.
2:12:30
But to do this publicly is some message.
2:12:33
There's something about it.
2:12:34
They did it for some reason.
2:12:35
We don't know what.
2:12:36
I have too many clips.
2:12:37
I'm going to jump around on this.
2:12:39
They're all relatively short, though.
2:12:40
We start with the walkie talkies.
2:12:41
We started with Michael, not his real name.
2:12:45
No shit, Sherlock.
2:12:47
You were something called a case officer.
2:12:50
What exactly is a case officer?
2:12:52
A case officer spearheads the operation.
2:12:55
He is the commander of the operation.
2:12:57
The operation started 10 years ago.
2:13:00
Not with pagers, but with weaponizing walkie talkies.
2:13:05
A walkie talkie was a weapon.
2:13:07
Just like a bullet or a missile or
2:13:10
a mortar.
2:13:10
So a walkie talkie bomb.
2:13:13
A walkie talkie bomb.
2:13:14
Inside the battery, there is an explosive device.
2:13:17
And that was the invention, to put an
2:13:19
explosive device that couldn't be detected into the
2:13:22
battery.
2:13:23
Correct.
2:13:23
Made in Israel.
2:13:24
At Mossad?
2:13:26
Yes.
2:13:26
As I understand it, these walkie talkies went
2:13:30
into a tactical vest that a soldier would
2:13:33
put on, and then this would go in
2:13:36
the pocket.
2:13:36
Correct.
2:13:37
Near the heart.
2:13:38
Yes.
2:13:38
So Israel sold this device to Hezbollah.
2:13:43
Hezbollah paid for this weapon that was to
2:13:47
be used against them.
2:13:49
Thank God, a good price.
2:13:50
A good price that couldn't be too low,
2:13:54
or they'd be suspicious.
2:13:55
By the way, now that I'm listening to
2:13:57
this, this is clearly not a voice changer.
2:14:01
This is AI voices.
2:14:02
It's entirely possible they just took a couple
2:14:05
of interns, put a ski mask on their
2:14:07
head with some glasses, and then threw in
2:14:11
some AI.
2:14:11
The AI voices, it's edited in here.
2:14:14
It's not a natural flow of conversation.
2:14:17
So this could be a total CBS, CIA
2:14:19
broadcasting systems bull crap.
2:14:22
There's something wrong with this whole report.
2:14:26
It makes no mistake.
2:14:27
Yeah, I can see that.
2:14:28
That would be a good idea, actually.
2:14:30
Particularly when you hear this.
2:14:31
Why is any Mossad guy going to do
2:14:33
this?
2:14:33
It wouldn't make sense.
2:14:35
This is part of this propaganda piece.
2:14:40
In the end, Hezbollah bought over 16,000
2:14:43
of these exploding walkie-talkies that Israel then
2:14:46
didn't activate for 10 years until three months
2:14:50
ago.
2:14:51
How did you convince Hezbollah to buy this?
2:14:55
Well, obviously, they didn't know that they were
2:14:57
buying it from Israel.
2:14:58
Who did they buy it from or think
2:15:00
they were buying it from?
2:15:02
We have an incredible array of possibilities of
2:15:06
creating foreign companies that have no way of
2:15:10
being traced back to Israel, shell companies over
2:15:13
shell companies who affect the supply chain to
2:15:15
our favor.
2:15:16
We create a pretend world.
2:15:19
We are a global production company.
2:15:21
We write the screenplay.
2:15:23
We're the directors.
2:15:24
We're the producers.
2:15:25
We're the main actors.
2:15:27
The world is our stage.
2:15:29
Oh, brother.
2:15:31
Why is this taking place?
2:15:33
Help me with this.
2:15:34
There's something about this.
2:15:38
The world is our stage.
2:15:40
By the way, these batteries are replaceable.
2:15:46
A 10-year-old product with a battery
2:15:48
in it is going to be so degraded
2:15:50
by the time 10 years rolls by.
2:15:52
You're going to probably throw the old battery
2:15:54
out.
2:15:55
Okay, I'm going to paré on that because
2:15:57
I have 10-year-old Baofengs and I
2:16:01
carry one in my bag and I turn
2:16:03
it on, the battery is still full.
2:16:05
It's still full.
2:16:07
It could be a good product.
2:16:09
The Baofeng is a good product.
2:16:11
So, I'm going to skip over some of
2:16:12
the bits here, but here's how they marketed
2:16:15
it to make the stupid Hezbollah buy it
2:16:17
from them.
2:16:19
Character, meaning added features.
2:16:21
Oh, wait.
2:16:21
I should probably play this one first.
2:16:23
Could you use it as a tracking device?
2:16:28
This is talking about the pagers now.
2:16:30
Oh, no.
2:16:32
This is a very stupid device by nature.
2:16:34
This is the reason they're using it.
2:16:36
There's almost no way how to tap it.
2:16:39
It's only receiving messages and several grams of
2:16:42
explosive.
2:16:45
Mossad also tested these ringtones to find a
2:16:49
sound urgent enough to compel someone to take
2:16:52
it out of their pocket.
2:16:54
And they tested how long it takes a
2:16:56
person to answer a pager.
2:16:58
On average, seven seconds.
2:17:01
But how to convince Hezbollah to switch to
2:17:04
this bulkier pager?
2:17:06
I remember the day that I came to
2:17:07
our director, put it on the table, and
2:17:10
he was furious.
2:17:11
He was telling us, there is no chance
2:17:13
that anyone would buy such a big device.
2:17:16
It's not comfortable in their pocket.
2:17:17
It's heavy.
2:17:19
Very heavy.
2:17:19
Very heavy.
2:17:20
It's no good.
2:17:21
Yeah.
2:17:22
Go back and bring me something.
2:17:23
Do you hear this edit job?
2:17:25
Very heavy.
2:17:25
Yeah.
2:17:26
You hear complete different audio and everything.
2:17:28
Listen.
2:17:29
There is no chance that anyone would buy
2:17:30
such a big device.
2:17:32
It's not comfortable in their pocket.
2:17:34
It's heavy.
2:17:35
Very heavy.
2:17:35
Very heavy.
2:17:36
It's no good.
2:17:37
Yeah.
2:17:37
Go back and bring me something else.
2:17:39
It took me two weeks to convince him
2:17:41
that although it's ugly, it has character.
2:17:43
Right.
2:17:44
Now the character clip, which is kind of
2:17:45
interesting.
2:17:47
Character, meaning added features, which they touted in
2:17:51
fake ads on YouTube.
2:17:53
Robust.
2:17:55
Dustproof.
2:17:56
Waterproof.
2:17:57
Long battery life.
2:17:59
We make advertising movies and brochures, and we
2:18:02
put it on the internet.
2:18:03
And it become the best product in the
2:18:04
beeper area in the world.
2:18:06
Did people other than Hezbollah want to buy
2:18:09
this based on what was being said about
2:18:12
it online?
2:18:13
Yes.
2:18:13
We received several requests from regular potential customer.
2:18:17
Obviously, we didn't send to anyone.
2:18:19
We just bought them with expensive price.
2:18:21
Mossad wanted to use the name Gold Apollo
2:18:24
on its pager.
2:18:26
So it set up shell companies, including one
2:18:29
in this building in Hungary, to dupe the
2:18:32
Taiwanese into partnering with them.
2:18:35
So now they're going to tout the fact
2:18:38
that they duped the Taiwanese because they're like
2:18:40
the Truman Show.
2:18:41
So the company in Taiwan, Gold Apollo, did
2:18:46
they know that they were working with people
2:18:49
from Mossad?
2:18:50
Gold Apollo had zero clue that they are
2:18:52
working with the Mossad.
2:18:53
And neither did Hezbollah.
2:18:55
When they are buying from us, they have
2:18:57
zero clue that they are buying from the
2:18:58
Mossad.
2:18:59
We make like Truman Show.
2:19:01
Everything is controlled by us behind the scene.
2:19:04
In their experience, everything is normal.
2:19:06
Everything was 100 percent kosher, including businessmen, marketing,
2:19:11
engineers, showroom, everything.
2:19:14
To further the plot, Mossad hired the Gold
2:19:17
Apollo saleswoman Hezbollah was used to working with
2:19:20
before.
2:19:21
She offered them the first batch of pagers
2:19:24
as an upgrade free of charge.
2:19:27
By September 2024, Hezbollah had 5,000 pagers
2:19:33
in their pockets.
2:19:34
You know, it makes me wonder about this
2:19:36
flip phone I've got.
2:19:37
You know, best price.
2:19:39
I'm looking for a new co-host.
2:19:42
You don't need one.
2:19:43
You just ask why all the time and
2:19:45
you answer yourself.
2:19:46
I could try that technique.
2:19:48
Why would I do that?
2:19:50
Well, yeah, because a lot of different reasons.
2:19:52
Well, what do you think about this?
2:19:54
All right.
2:19:55
A couple more here.
2:19:56
So this is now about the activation.
2:19:58
By the way, all of this is the
2:19:59
story that we already knew.
2:20:01
We knew about the Taiwanese company.
2:20:02
All of this is known.
2:20:04
But for some reason, this story to be
2:20:06
put together with these interns with ski masks
2:20:09
and A.I. voices.
2:20:10
The question for Israel, when to activate the
2:20:13
sleeping bombs?
2:20:15
There were hints Hezbollah might be getting suspicious
2:20:17
of the devices.
2:20:19
So Mossad head Dadi Barnea gave the go
2:20:22
ahead, triggering the attack.
2:20:24
Triggering.
2:20:25
And shocking people around the world as it
2:20:27
seemed more like a spy movie than reality.
2:20:30
On September 17th at 330 p.m., pagers
2:20:35
started beeping all over Lebanon.
2:20:38
As I understand it, people with this pager
2:20:41
got a message that said you have an
2:20:43
encrypted message.
2:20:45
In order to access it, you have to
2:20:47
push the two buttons, meaning that it would
2:20:50
explode in their hands.
2:20:52
That was the whole point.
2:20:53
So if someone did not push the two
2:20:57
buttons, what happened?
2:20:58
It's the same effect.
2:21:00
It's going to explode anyway.
2:21:02
The explosive was triggered in Israel.
2:21:06
Yes.
2:21:07
Dude.
2:21:08
Wait, wait, wait.
2:21:10
What?
2:21:12
What?
2:21:14
If you push the two buttons, it exploded.
2:21:17
If you didn't push the two buttons, it
2:21:18
exploded anyway.
2:21:19
That's what he said.
2:21:20
Well, what's the point of even mentioning this?
2:21:23
It's just going to explode.
2:21:24
Well, it's just to make sure they have
2:21:26
them in their hands, because that was more
2:21:28
fun.
2:21:29
Better effect.
2:21:30
They want to make sure they blow their
2:21:32
hands off?
2:21:32
Blow their hands off.
2:21:33
Yeah, you know, a fighter, look, you can
2:21:34
hurt a fighter, but if you blow his
2:21:36
hands off, he's kind of useless.
2:21:38
You got to think like Mossad, baby.
2:21:43
What ensued was mayhem.
2:21:46
People with pagers blowing up on the street,
2:21:50
on motorcycles, hospitals filling up with the wounded,
2:21:53
limbs, fingers torn off, bloodied, blinded, holes in
2:21:58
stomachs.
2:21:59
This is a very accurate description.
2:22:01
I'm surprised.
2:22:02
For the most part, the explosions worked as
2:22:05
planned, they say.
2:22:07
Watch the man on the left.
2:22:09
The grocery store.
2:22:12
Those right next to him were unscathed.
2:22:18
The very next day, Mossad finally activated the
2:22:22
walkie-talkies that had been dormant for ten
2:22:25
years, some going off at the funerals of
2:22:28
those killed by the pagers.
2:22:32
All in all, about 30 people died, including
2:22:36
two children.
2:22:37
Around 3,000 were injured.
2:22:40
The aim, it wasn't killing Hezbollah terrorists.
2:22:43
If he's just dead, so he's dead.
2:22:45
But if he's wounded, you have to take
2:22:47
him to the hospital, take care of him.
2:22:50
You need to invest money in efforts.
2:22:52
And those people without hands and eyes are
2:22:54
living proof, walking in Lebanon, of don't mess
2:22:57
with us.
2:22:58
They are walking proof of our superiority all
2:23:00
around the Middle East.
2:23:01
Dude, what is this?
2:23:03
What kind of horrible advertisement is this from
2:23:07
Mossad?
2:23:09
I mean, this is, I find it very
2:23:11
peculiar.
2:23:12
Especially this, that part.
2:23:14
Yeah, that last one was the worst of
2:23:16
the group.
2:23:17
Okay, just a couple more and then we're
2:23:19
done.
2:23:19
Don't mess with us.
2:23:20
That's pretty much it.
2:23:21
Did you completely destroy and crush Hezbollah?
2:23:25
I think it's a big question.
2:23:26
And I think the honest answer would be
2:23:28
no.
2:23:29
But I think after this tipping point of
2:23:31
the beeper operation and the walkie-talkie and
2:23:34
then IDF attack, put Hezbollah in a very,
2:23:37
very difficult situation.
2:23:38
No chain of command.
2:23:40
No spirit in their soldiers.
2:23:42
Asking, begging for a ceasefire.
2:23:44
So you restore your sense of superiority.
2:23:48
But what about your moral reputation?
2:23:51
Don't you think Israel has to worry about
2:23:54
its reputation?
2:23:56
She says in a descriptive manner, so you
2:24:01
restore your sense of superiority.
2:24:05
What is that supposed to mean?
2:24:06
It was lost.
2:24:08
They lost their sense.
2:24:09
From the sounds of it, they've had a
2:24:12
sense of superiority since the get-go.
2:24:14
So what's being restored here?
2:24:16
And why does she ask that question?
2:24:19
Well, she's asking it because it's in the
2:24:20
script.
2:24:20
But I don't know why the script was
2:24:22
written that way.
2:24:23
It is the most bizarre thing that I
2:24:25
have seen in a long time.
2:24:28
60 minutes is no good.
2:24:30
Restore your sense of superiority.
2:24:32
But what about your moral reputation?
2:24:35
Don't you think Israel has to worry about
2:24:39
its reputation?
2:24:40
Definitely.
2:24:41
But there is a prioritization.
2:24:43
First, you have to defend your people not
2:24:45
being killed by the thousands.
2:24:47
And then, the reputation.
2:24:50
Well, the final clip is kind of what
2:24:52
got my goat, because there's something highly inaccurate
2:24:55
in here.
2:24:56
The pagers have had a profound rippling effect,
2:25:00
severely weakening Iran by leaving its proxy empire
2:25:04
in ruins.
2:25:05
With Hezbollah shattered in Lebanon, Assad toppled in
2:25:09
Syria.
2:25:11
We asked Agent Michael about the effect on
2:25:14
Gaza.
2:25:15
How does that affect the situation with Hamas?
2:25:18
The wind was taken out of Hezbollah's fight
2:25:21
after the pager operation.
2:25:23
And I'm hoping that it will have an
2:25:25
effect also on the Hamas and hostage situation,
2:25:29
because they're looking at their sides and they're
2:25:32
seeing no one next to them.
2:25:33
They're completely isolated now.
2:25:36
In terms of the kind of warfare that
2:25:40
was conducted with the walkie-talkies and the
2:25:43
pagers, would you call it a psychological war?
2:25:46
The day after the pagers exploded, people were
2:25:50
afraid to turn on the air conditioners in
2:25:52
Lebanon, because they were afraid that they would
2:25:54
explode.
2:25:56
So there is real fear.
2:25:59
Was that an intention?
2:26:00
We want them to feel vulnerable, which they
2:26:03
are.
2:26:03
We can't use the pagers again, because we
2:26:05
already did that.
2:26:07
We've already moved on to the next thing.
2:26:10
And they'll have to keep on trying to
2:26:12
guess what the next thing is.
2:26:14
That's not the clip I thought it was,
2:26:15
but this is them saying, we are a
2:26:18
terrorist organization.
2:26:20
Yeah.
2:26:20
They're a terrorist organization.
2:26:23
Yeah.
2:26:23
And they're literally terrorizing people.
2:26:26
And it's not just Iran.
2:26:29
I'm serious.
2:26:30
I'm like, okay, where did this flip phone
2:26:31
come from?
2:26:33
Can Mossad kill me at any moment?
2:26:39
I don't like it.
2:26:40
I have a drawer.
2:26:41
The worst that could happen is they're going
2:26:42
to blow up the credenza.
2:26:44
I think I'm going to put mine in
2:26:45
a drawer as well.
2:26:46
This is very annoying.
2:26:47
It's very annoying what they're doing.
2:26:49
I don't like it.
2:26:51
I don't like it.
2:26:52
And what the point was of CBS airing
2:26:55
this, I don't know.
2:26:56
It's a message to somebody.
2:26:58
And it's a message to somebody for some
2:27:00
reason.
2:27:00
It is.
2:27:00
Yes.
2:27:00
It's something.
2:27:01
Yeah.
2:27:02
We don't know.
2:27:03
Yeah.
2:27:04
Don't somebody might know.
2:27:06
Let's play this.
2:27:07
Since we're talking about this area, this might
2:27:09
as well play the NTD Syria update.
2:27:12
Keep us up apprised.
2:27:14
Okay.
2:27:15
Israeli forces continue to wage war on multiple
2:27:18
fronts against Iran backed terrorist groups.
2:27:20
Meanwhile, Iran Supreme leader has now called for
2:27:23
people in Syria to join the resistance against
2:27:26
Israel.
2:27:27
And it is Jason Perry has the latest.
2:27:30
Israeli forces released video on Wednesday of what
2:27:33
they said were Hezbollah terrorists transferring weapons from
2:27:36
a storage facility in Lebanon.
2:27:38
And moments later, the Israeli air force struck
2:27:41
the building to quote, remove the threat.
2:27:44
This strike comes in the middle of a
2:27:46
60 day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which
2:27:49
is set to expire this month.
2:27:51
However, after the strike, Israel said they're operating
2:27:55
in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.
2:27:58
Also in Lebanon, a commander in the Israel
2:28:00
defense forces reported finding a mortar that was
2:28:03
ready to launch towards communities in Northern Israel.
2:28:08
Here you can see the shells prepared and
2:28:10
arranged here below.
2:28:11
Here's one shell as an example that we
2:28:13
can see here, a 15 kilogram shell.
2:28:16
They could simply take out the mortar, place
2:28:18
it inside.
2:28:19
And this shell is launched.
2:28:20
And in the Gaza strip, Israeli forces reported
2:28:23
getting shot at from a building that was
2:28:26
used as a mosque.
2:28:29
After we were shot at, we neutralized the
2:28:31
terrorists and entered the mosque.
2:28:33
The mosque from which we were shot at
2:28:36
can be seen here.
2:28:37
After searching the mosque, we identified significant underground
2:28:40
infrastructure in it, which can be seen here.
2:28:42
Before Israeli forces enter buildings, they've also been
2:28:46
using drones to search them because they could
2:28:48
be rigged with explosives as seen in this
2:28:51
building in Rafa.
2:28:52
But no matter the progress Israel makes against
2:28:55
Iran-backed terrorist groups, Iran's Supreme leader appears
2:28:59
undeterred as he vowed victory in Lebanon and
2:29:02
Yemen on Wednesday.
2:29:03
And he even called for people in Syria
2:29:06
to join the resistance against Israel.
2:29:09
You know, hearing this and I'm still thinking
2:29:12
about this, that Mossad thing, could this be
2:29:15
because clearly now Israel is, if they're not
2:29:19
taking claim for it, they are responsible.
2:29:22
Oh, we did Syria too.
2:29:24
Could this be a message from Mossad through
2:29:28
CIA, CBS, CIA broadcasting systems to Trump and
2:29:33
others to say, you know, we can get
2:29:37
you wherever we want, whenever we want.
2:29:39
Don't you dare take anything away from us.
2:29:42
Don't you try and change anything that we're
2:29:44
doing in the Middle East.
2:29:45
It certainly doesn't help with the anti Jew
2:29:47
vibe, this type of reporting, you know what
2:29:49
I'm saying?
2:29:51
Possible.
2:29:53
I mean, if I, if I heard this
2:29:57
and I'm a Senator, I'm like, okay, APAC,
2:29:59
come on in.
2:30:00
I don't want you blowing up my air
2:30:02
conditioner or cell phone or whatever it is
2:30:05
you have planned next.
2:30:06
Well, the drop in of the, of the
2:30:09
air conditioner item in the report is probably
2:30:14
significant.
2:30:14
It has to be.
2:30:16
Because you do it out of the blue.
2:30:18
I mean, once you're afraid to start your
2:30:19
car, that would have been more logical.
2:30:22
That's so old school.
2:30:23
That's so 1980s.
2:30:25
So they're afraid to turn their air conditioners
2:30:27
off, which of course then implies that they're
2:30:29
sweating to death.
2:30:32
Air fryers next, exploding air fryers.
2:30:39
What is the one exploding vapes?
2:30:41
Oh no.
2:30:44
Look, vapes.
2:30:45
That would be a good one.
2:30:46
You know, I don't know who that would
2:30:47
take out.
2:30:48
I'm just thinking what would take me out.
2:30:51
Oh, that's all you care about.
2:30:53
Yes, of course.
2:30:55
Speakers.
2:30:56
What do I got?
2:30:58
Mixers.
2:30:59
Yes.
2:30:59
You have smart speakers, smart speakers.
2:31:01
It could be.
2:31:02
I don't.
2:31:03
You, of course, I have nothing smart.
2:31:05
I'm not even smart.
2:31:06
You're all, you're also going to outlive us
2:31:08
all because you don't need me again.
2:31:11
You just say why, and then you answer
2:31:13
your own question.
2:31:14
I know I have to start working on
2:31:15
how to interview myself.
2:31:17
I just haven't gotten that down yet.
2:31:18
All right, everybody, let's get a little update.
2:31:22
Time for a bird flu update.
2:31:24
McCullough is back on the scene.
2:31:26
Yes, McCullough, who is now the opposition is
2:31:30
calling an op.
2:31:32
Really?
2:31:33
Yeah, he's like a bad guy.
2:31:36
He's just all bull crap, what he's saying.
2:31:38
And yeah, the farm is going after him
2:31:40
finally.
2:31:41
Well, that we will remind everybody that during
2:31:44
COVID, we were, we liked McCullough because he
2:31:48
has a reputation that no one could take
2:31:50
down.
2:31:51
No one could say anything about his medical
2:31:52
reputation.
2:31:53
And nobody could, could argue with him.
2:31:56
And he challenged everybody.
2:31:58
You wanted to be, you say this, you
2:31:59
say that, come on, let's talk about it.
2:32:01
We can have an open forum.
2:32:02
I'll talk, discuss these things.
2:32:04
No, they would not do it.
2:32:05
Nobody would take him on because he's got
2:32:08
all the facts and figures right in his
2:32:10
head.
2:32:11
And here's his latest about the H5N1 bird
2:32:14
flu.
2:32:15
Bird flu or H5N1 influence has been around
2:32:18
for over a hundred years.
2:32:20
Well-documented in the scientific literature in the
2:32:22
United States, the most recent outbreak, which is
2:32:25
now four years old.
2:32:27
we've published McCullough foundation is published with a
2:32:30
first author, Nick Kosher, an epidemiologist in the
2:32:33
journal, poultry, fisheries and wildlife sciences, peer reviewed
2:32:38
journal that the current strain of bird flu
2:32:40
is a product of gain of function research
2:32:44
done in the USDA poultry research laboratory in
2:32:48
Athens, Georgia.
2:32:49
So it is a man-made problem that
2:32:52
our farms are experiencing right now.
2:32:55
The stated goal of the USDA in doing
2:32:58
this research was simply to get it to
2:33:00
jump from chickens into mallard ducks.
2:33:03
And that way it could spread all over.
2:33:05
So it's, it's a bad line of thinking
2:33:09
to continue to do gain of function research.
2:33:12
And I hope under the new administration, one
2:33:14
of the very first steps taken by the
2:33:16
U S national institutes of health, the CDC
2:33:19
and the NIH would it be to do
2:33:21
an all out ban on gain of function
2:33:24
research, certainly in us labs and our funding
2:33:28
of labs outside the United States.
2:33:30
Because we know it's not just the government
2:33:32
that funds this research, but also Gates foundation,
2:33:35
many other pro vaccine foundations are, are ramping
2:33:40
up gain of function research, even in the
2:33:43
initial spending bill that the U S house
2:33:45
representatives had that Mike Johnson initially presented.
2:33:48
There were 12 more U S bio labs.
2:33:50
I love this guy.
2:33:53
And I would have to ask a question
2:33:55
here.
2:33:55
Yeah.
2:33:56
My understanding was that the reason Fauci sent
2:33:59
the money from that through via that one
2:34:01
company to China, Wuhan is because we already
2:34:05
banned the gain of function research.
2:34:07
When did the band get lifted?
2:34:09
That that, that is being done by, by
2:34:11
locals at USDA and elsewhere.
2:34:14
I don't know.
2:34:15
They may be, I mean, this is, he
2:34:16
doesn't answer this question.
2:34:17
He just talks about it.
2:34:18
It should be banned.
2:34:19
I thought it was bad.
2:34:20
I thought it was illegal.
2:34:21
This is all, this is all germ warfare.
2:34:23
That is actually not only banned, but it's
2:34:26
against the Geneva convention.
2:34:28
We're not supposed to be doing any of
2:34:29
this.
2:34:29
And how is that not brought up into
2:34:31
the conversation?
2:34:32
And who needs exploding air conditioners when you
2:34:34
got this stuff?
2:34:38
Hmm.
2:34:39
It's ludicrous.
2:34:40
Why?
2:34:41
Why?
2:34:42
I don't know.
2:34:43
Why?
2:34:44
Okay.
2:34:44
Okay.
2:34:45
Okay.
2:34:45
Just on the bird flu thing, because it
2:34:48
relates to raw milk.
2:34:49
We have an unbelievable amount of people, producers
2:34:57
who know a lot about the industry.
2:35:02
They are lit.
2:35:03
We have milk testers.
2:35:05
Yeah, we have milk.
2:35:06
People that are actually in the business of
2:35:09
testing raw milk are listening to this show
2:35:11
as the two of us speak and ask
2:35:13
ourselves questions.
2:35:16
And I put a couple of them into
2:35:18
the show notes so you can read them.
2:35:20
I'd like to highlight two.
2:35:22
Here are some reasons raw milk is a
2:35:24
threat to big milk.
2:35:26
Factory farms are much more likely to have
2:35:28
outbreaks that actually make milk dangerous.
2:35:30
A mass scale operation where one spoiled batch
2:35:33
is mixed with the rest, you're ruining a
2:35:35
lot more milk.
2:35:35
For smaller scale farms, this is not such
2:35:37
a large risk.
2:35:38
I believe pasteurization became required by law in
2:35:41
response to factory farming issues.
2:35:43
Additionally, pasteurization and testing are expensive.
2:35:46
Requiring pasteurization or testing makes it difficult for
2:35:48
new entrants to compete in the market.
2:35:50
It makes it easier for monopolists.
2:35:52
So of course any, what is this?
2:35:57
Any lobbying interest will want to fear monger
2:35:59
the public into wanting additional expensive steps out
2:36:02
of place.
2:36:03
So, I mean, there's a lot of information
2:36:06
we have about big dairy lobbies, but the
2:36:09
one that I thought was the most interesting
2:36:11
is where big milk itself came from.
2:36:14
And there are many versions of the story
2:36:16
because it relates to government cheese and government
2:36:22
cheese.
2:36:23
I mean, I've never had to deal with
2:36:25
government cheese, fortunately, because government cheese is given
2:36:28
to poor people in America.
2:36:30
But this one producer gave me a rundown
2:36:33
that I thought, well, it sounds credible.
2:36:36
And there's, there's again, there's other versions of
2:36:38
where the government cheese came from.
2:36:40
And we've still in 2016, 20, I think
2:36:43
20, 20, 18 still had a lot, like
2:36:46
a lot of government cheese and warehouses.
2:36:48
So I'm going to read this and then
2:36:50
you can, you can interrupt if you feel
2:36:53
appropriate.
2:36:55
During prohibition, many bars and previous liquor sellers
2:36:58
switched over to ice cream.
2:37:00
A night out on the town became you
2:37:02
and a bunch of your friends going out
2:37:03
for ice cream.
2:37:04
The kids raised this way were a fighting
2:37:06
age when world war II broke out because
2:37:08
of this.
2:37:09
Ice cream was the morale booster of choice
2:37:11
for the military.
2:37:12
So much so that there were multiple Naval
2:37:14
vessels, vessels solely dedicated to the production of
2:37:18
ice cream, traveling from Naval group to Naval
2:37:20
group in the Pacific.
2:37:22
The massive milk needs of the U S
2:37:24
government during the war led to the creation
2:37:26
of dairy farmers.
2:37:27
Until then it was economically infeasible for a
2:37:30
farmer to exclude exclusively produce milk.
2:37:33
After the war, the military was drastically downsized
2:37:35
and the government didn't need nearly as much
2:37:37
milk.
2:37:38
Instead of letting all this new dairy farming
2:37:40
industry collapse, the government decided to just keep
2:37:42
buying milk.
2:37:43
The easiest way to store milk longterm is
2:37:46
to make cheese.
2:37:47
So the government became a cheese making powerhouse.
2:37:50
Numerous underground caverns, mostly in the Midwest were
2:37:53
stocked with millions of pounds of cheese.
2:37:55
When Reagan took office, one of his priorities
2:37:58
was getting rid of waste and this milk
2:38:00
buying cheese making boondoggle came to light.
2:38:03
The initial announced plan was to toss all
2:38:05
that cheese into the ocean, but there was
2:38:07
public outcry.
2:38:08
We paid for that cheese.
2:38:09
We should get the cheese.
2:38:10
The federal government then used it as a
2:38:12
handout for low income people.
2:38:14
This is how government cheese was born.
2:38:16
The government also had to stop buying new
2:38:18
milk, but didn't want to just kill the
2:38:20
dairy industry.
2:38:21
So the national dairy council, a federal government
2:38:24
entity was born to drive private consumption of
2:38:26
milk.
2:38:27
All dairy farmers are required by law to
2:38:29
pay into the council.
2:38:30
And in turn, it produces ads and research
2:38:33
to further the cause of milk production.
2:38:35
This is where the research about milk creating
2:38:37
strong bones, as well as the got milk
2:38:39
ads came from in the nineties.
2:38:42
What do you think of that story?
2:38:45
Well, the story chronologically doesn't make some sense,
2:38:49
but it, but it sounds plausible.
2:38:51
I agree with you.
2:38:52
It sounds plausible.
2:38:55
I'd have to look into this.
2:38:56
And I like to see the chronology because
2:38:58
the way he's got the prohibition was broken
2:39:01
long before world war two broke out.
2:39:04
But there was, there was this moment in
2:39:07
history where the, where the, and I think
2:39:09
it was during this era where the soda
2:39:13
fountain became a thing and it was cropped
2:39:16
and they, but it tended to be when
2:39:18
I was a kid, we had them and
2:39:20
they tended to be out shoots of creameries,
2:39:24
which were independent dairies, which are all over
2:39:26
the place in the early part of the
2:39:30
century or the mid century of last century.
2:39:32
They were everywhere.
2:39:33
I mean, that's why I talked about this
2:39:35
already about the dairies.
2:39:36
I remember two or three of them independence
2:39:39
and during world war or pre world war
2:39:42
two, the milk delivery system in this country
2:39:45
was extremely elaborate with the milk trucks that
2:39:49
would deliver bottled milk all over the place.
2:39:52
And this was, this was outlined in many
2:39:54
movies that you could see back in the
2:39:56
early thirties.
2:39:57
So it wasn't as though the milk was
2:40:00
something that just cropped up out of the
2:40:02
blue and started getting promoted in after world
2:40:05
war two.
2:40:05
So I have a problem with that part
2:40:07
of the story.
2:40:09
Well, history.com corroborates most of the story,
2:40:13
not so much the naval part, but what's
2:40:16
interesting on the history.com story at the
2:40:18
end, it says now known as government cheese,
2:40:20
the pungent smelling and according to some, by
2:40:23
the way, I'm not arguing against the government
2:40:25
cheese part of the story.
2:40:26
I'm arguing about the milk.
2:40:28
But I just want to read this part
2:40:30
because it leads into something else.
2:40:32
Uh, the government cheese was ultimately distributed to
2:40:36
the tune of 300 million pounds.
2:40:38
The cheese became associated with hard times while
2:40:41
some were grateful, uh, and mentioned to historians
2:40:44
says others hated the ways in which the
2:40:47
cheese advertised their socioeconomic status.
2:40:49
Today, some people recall the cheese fondly food
2:40:53
writer, Tracy Lynn Lloyd recalls how it's weird
2:40:56
texture made it good only for macaroni and
2:40:59
cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches.
2:41:01
This is why we have Mac and cheese.
2:41:05
You slaves can get used to Mac and
2:41:07
cheese.
2:41:09
Macaroni and cheese cheddar melted together.
2:41:12
Mac and cheese, Mac and cheese, Mac and
2:41:14
cheese.
2:41:15
That's it, baby.
2:41:16
That's what, that's where it came from.
2:41:18
Mac and cheese, whole industry created cheap cheddar,
2:41:21
nasty crap stored in caves.
2:41:24
Government cheese.
2:41:25
I like to store it in caves.
2:41:29
It's great.
2:41:30
All right.
2:41:32
I have one, uh, one more story here
2:41:34
of the pharma variety, which is important because
2:41:36
there's new information.
2:41:37
It was that big in these weight loss
2:41:38
drugs.
2:41:39
That was the story of 2024.
2:41:40
And it feels like that's going straight into
2:41:42
2025.
2:41:43
Yeah.
2:41:43
The story is absolutely going to continue into
2:41:46
2025.
2:41:46
If you take a look at these stats,
2:41:48
there has been a 400% increase in
2:41:51
prescriptions since 2019 one in eight adults has
2:41:55
tried a GLP one.
2:41:57
And by 2030, it is projected to be
2:42:00
a $100 billion industry.
2:42:03
As many experts have said, GLP ones are
2:42:06
basically having a stat moment, but guess what?
2:42:08
As we pointed out a couple of weeks
2:42:10
ago, more Americans are eligible for these medications.
2:42:13
There's GLP ones than they are even to
2:42:15
stat.
2:42:15
And so huge, huge, huge.
2:42:17
And we'll remain.
2:42:18
So in the next year, a big part
2:42:19
is the expense, which I know a lot
2:42:21
of folks are talking about, but let's talk.
2:42:23
They can be prescribed for not just diabetes,
2:42:25
not just weight loss.
2:42:26
Now they're showing other kinds of effects.
2:42:28
In addition to weight loss and diabetes, the
2:42:32
first big news that hit in the last
2:42:34
year was their amazing benefit for cardiovascular risk
2:42:38
reduction.
2:42:39
But there are currently about a hundred studies
2:42:41
that are either being, being conducted or have
2:42:44
been completed on a whole host of different
2:42:47
body parts, the kidney, the liver arthritis, even
2:42:51
polycystic ovarian syndrome.
2:42:53
If you think about it this way for
2:42:54
a lot of our internal organs, obesity is
2:42:56
the biggest driver of their worst diseases.
2:42:59
And so we're going to see amazing, amazing
2:43:02
and impactful effects on many other body parts,
2:43:05
not just weight and diabetes and heart disease.
2:43:08
Yeah.
2:43:08
It's a miracle drug.
2:43:10
What a believable story.
2:43:11
That was just not quite guy where your,
2:43:13
your prediction is leading, but it's obvious it's
2:43:15
where it's headed.
2:43:16
So Atlantic did a whole piece and it's
2:43:20
titled the science behind those Zempik was wrong.
2:43:23
The weight loss effects of GLP one drugs
2:43:27
have little to do with the gut.
2:43:29
In summary, your gut makes GLP one and
2:43:34
the half-life of the GLP one that
2:43:36
your gut makes is, is, you know, like
2:43:39
a couple hours.
2:43:40
So what these these semi-glutide drugs do
2:43:46
is they, it's like a thousand times the
2:43:51
amount of GLP one that you're injecting.
2:43:53
And the half-life of that is several
2:43:55
days, but it doesn't really do anything to
2:43:58
your body.
2:43:59
All of them, according to this article affect
2:44:02
your brain.
2:44:03
It is in fact, a brain drug and
2:44:05
nothing else.
2:44:07
And that's why in rodents, they also saw
2:44:10
that, you know, rodents didn't want any more
2:44:12
Coke or alcohol because they have addicted rats,
2:44:15
of course.
2:44:17
And no one, the scientists don't actually know
2:44:20
how it works.
2:44:20
Just like everything else.
2:44:24
Just, yeah, just like the antidepressants.
2:44:26
They don't actually know why it works and
2:44:30
they really don't know the long-term effects
2:44:32
and it's, and it's passing the blood brain
2:44:35
barrier.
2:44:36
This is not a good product.
2:44:39
Scientists are perplexed.
2:44:41
It says, are you kidding me?
2:44:46
So this, you know, and they want this
2:44:49
stuff in Medicare.
2:44:50
I mean, you think the COVID Vax was
2:44:53
bad.
2:44:53
This could, this could be the worst.
2:44:57
You wouldn't, they have no idea how it
2:44:59
works.
2:44:59
They have no idea what the real long
2:45:01
-term.
2:45:01
It would help if they had some long
2:45:03
-term studies, which they don't have.
2:45:05
Nope.
2:45:06
And it would, it would be even more
2:45:08
helpful if they could actually determine how it
2:45:10
worked.
2:45:11
This is the, you'll see this on a
2:45:13
lot of drugs.
2:45:13
In fact, is it on the drug?
2:45:15
Yes.
2:45:16
Sometimes it'll be a little, if somebody sent
2:45:17
a couple of these to me, it is
2:45:19
right at the bottom.
2:45:19
It says very in small print.
2:45:21
This is scientists do not understand how this
2:45:24
mechanism works.
2:45:25
So they're giving it to you.
2:45:27
It was on, it's on the commercial on
2:45:30
the ad.
2:45:31
Scientists don't actually know how this stuff works,
2:45:33
but we're selling it to you anyway.
2:45:35
It's insane.
2:45:41
Do we need to do anything on H
2:45:42
one B other than just be racist about
2:45:44
it?
2:45:45
But I, I have a, I do have
2:45:46
a, a membranes clip, some stuff from the
2:45:49
past that celebrate the new year.
2:45:52
No good.
2:45:53
Then I'm going to, I decided I, the
2:45:54
clips I have, did the history clips.
2:45:57
I decided that the reason that, uh, well,
2:46:01
what I'm going to miss, I thought, you
2:46:03
know, what, what, what am I going to
2:46:04
miss from 2024?
2:46:06
You mean it won 2024 and, and, and
2:46:09
before, even before 20, what changed and what's
2:46:11
going to change that I'm going to miss.
2:46:13
And I decided it's Biden.
2:46:15
I'm going to miss sock hops.
2:46:16
That's what I'm going to miss.
2:46:17
Well, sock hops are been mission had been
2:46:20
missed a long time ago.
2:46:21
So I have, I'm going to miss Biden.
2:46:23
That's what you're telling me.
2:46:24
You're going to miss Biden.
2:46:25
Don't you think?
2:46:25
Listen to that.
2:46:26
I got a couple of Biden clips.
2:46:27
Okay.
2:46:29
I got Biden.
2:46:30
I got two medleys, which is Biden just
2:46:32
talking.
2:46:33
And then I have Tucker Carlson's clip about
2:46:35
Biden taking pills, which is less interesting, but
2:46:39
let's start with Biden at the United nations
2:46:42
now together.
2:46:44
Climactic.
2:46:46
You're mingled with great pain.
2:46:48
We've lost so much in this devastating, this
2:46:50
devastating pandemic emergence of new technologies and global
2:46:55
health and, and, and a global health threat
2:46:58
council council for global COVID response, the global
2:47:02
COVID response.
2:47:03
Was he in the toilet at the UN
2:47:04
or where was he when this was recorded?
2:47:06
Bad micing.
2:47:07
I went back in it, vaccinating the world
2:47:09
and building back better from the borderless climate
2:47:13
crisis from the United States and other from
2:47:17
other donors working with companies, countries, technologies, and
2:47:21
reduce the rest, the risk.
2:47:23
Similarly, we know the bitter string of terrorism.
2:47:27
The bitter sting of terrorism is real.
2:47:29
The United States is committing to you, committed
2:47:31
to using our resources.
2:47:33
When the earthquake strikes, we're fighting between warm,
2:47:36
warring parties, heroic, horrific violence, and a belief
2:47:40
in the universe.
2:47:42
When it occurs in where, whether it occurs,
2:47:45
LGBTQI, the authoritarianism in the world, proud Moldovans
2:47:52
built rope now together, climactic climate change from
2:47:57
COVID to climate.
2:47:58
We, you and I, God bless you all.
2:48:02
Okay.
2:48:03
Well, I'm not going to miss that clip.
2:48:05
Oh, come on.
2:48:06
You're going to miss Biden.
2:48:07
Here's the, here's the second Biden medley.
2:48:10
And this is from, this Biden medley one.
2:48:13
Policy and science and, and, and, and science
2:48:17
and, and society tricking with the early computer
2:48:20
products, computing products.
2:48:26
And when I wrote that down, I thought
2:48:29
to myself, I mean, how many kids, you
2:48:32
know, anyway, as co-chair of the president's
2:48:34
council of advisors in science and technology, I
2:48:36
appoint Dr. Francis Arnold.
2:48:39
Growing up in coal country, not far from
2:48:42
heaven, Scranton, Pennsylvania and carbon County in Pennsylvania,
2:48:47
about 50 miles South where I was a
2:48:49
kid.
2:48:50
She dreamed of exploring outer space.
2:48:53
I could have told her.
2:48:54
She just go to green region, Scranton and
2:48:56
she'd find where it was.
2:48:58
I shouldn't be so flippant, but I'm so
2:49:00
excited about these folks.
2:49:04
Yeah.
2:49:05
Okay.
2:49:05
No, I won't miss that either.
2:49:09
I will.
2:49:10
No, I'm not going to miss that.
2:49:12
Yeah.
2:49:13
You have another one.
2:49:15
Well, I have Tucker Carlson talking about the
2:49:17
data.
2:49:18
We forgot about this and it was never
2:49:20
confirmed or denied.
2:49:21
And it was just a kind of a
2:49:23
crazy thing.
2:49:24
He went on and on about, how about
2:49:26
this?
2:49:26
If you want to miss Joe Biden, you
2:49:28
want to miss him like this.
2:49:29
Poisoning, poisoning.
2:49:30
COVID has taken this year, just since the
2:49:33
outbreak has taken more than 100 years.
2:49:36
This is a medley.
2:49:38
Think about it.
2:49:41
Corn pop was a bad dude.
2:49:44
That's what you want to remember Joe Biden
2:49:46
for.
2:49:47
Except for the music bed.
2:49:48
Corn pop was a bad dude.
2:49:50
That's what you want to remember.
2:49:52
He was a bad dude.
2:49:53
I got him with a chain.
2:49:57
I'll miss him for that.
2:49:59
Well, play the Tucker thing and then we
2:50:02
can go.
2:50:03
Really?
2:50:03
Okay.
2:50:04
Tucker.
2:50:04
It's good.
2:50:05
Joe Biden.
2:50:06
Anyone who knew Joe Biden had seen before
2:50:08
he completely changed.
2:50:09
This was clearly cognitive decline.
2:50:11
This was dementia, obviously.
2:50:13
So we drew a conclusion that now sounds
2:50:16
ridiculous, but it seemed logical at the time.
2:50:18
This guy can't be the democratic nominee.
2:50:20
He can barely speak.
2:50:22
How did he manage to get through the
2:50:23
campaign?
2:50:23
Well, it turned out we learned later his
2:50:26
staff supervised by Dr. Jill.
2:50:28
His wife was giving him pills before every
2:50:32
public appearance, checking the time and at a
2:50:34
certain hour, giving him a dose of something.
2:50:37
Now, it's not a guest.
2:50:38
We're not making that up.
2:50:38
We spoken directly to someone who was there
2:50:41
and saw it happen multiple times.
2:50:44
Now, before taking the medication, this person said
2:50:46
Biden was quote, like a small child.
2:50:49
You could not communicate with him.
2:50:51
He changed completely because he was on drugs
2:50:53
and he clearly still is on drugs.
2:50:55
No one's pushing to know what those drugs
2:50:56
are.
2:50:56
We should know.
2:50:57
But the point is Joe Biden's dementia was
2:51:00
perfectly obvious to everyone around him more than
2:51:03
three years ago.
2:51:05
You know what I'm going to miss?
2:51:07
I'm going to miss that daddy, long legs,
2:51:09
that fake Biden.
2:51:09
I'm going to miss that dude.
2:51:10
I'm going to miss that dude running from
2:51:12
the helicopter.
2:51:13
That's who I'm going to miss.
2:51:14
I'm going to show my support by donating
2:51:16
to no agenda.
2:51:17
Imagine all the people who could do that.
2:51:19
Oh yeah.
2:51:20
That'd be fun.
2:51:27
Plenty more show coming up for you with
2:51:29
end of show mixes.
2:51:30
We've got some very nice meetup reports, a
2:51:33
short meetup list.
2:51:34
And we have, of course, John's tip of
2:51:37
the day.
2:51:37
Why would you not stay around for that?
2:51:39
And first we're going to thank the rest
2:51:41
of our producers who donated $50 and above.
2:51:44
Yeah.
2:51:45

2:51:48
and 35 cents.
2:51:50
And then Baron Latican, our buddy in Houston,
2:51:52
Texas, a hundred dollars.
2:51:53
He's probably knows that guy Francisco in Costa
2:51:56
Rica, 100.
2:51:58
He needs a de-douching.
2:52:01
You've been de-douched.

2:52:11
One hundred.
2:52:12
Oh, it's pronounced reach.
2:52:16
A hundred dollars.
2:52:17
He wants a de-douching.

2:52:32
I wonder if it was Stegman and it
2:52:34
was, it's a typo.
2:52:35
I wonder if it's Stegman.
2:52:36
It could be.
2:52:36
Cause that came in as a check.
2:52:38
Yeah.
2:52:38
It could be Stegman.
2:52:39
Could be Stegman.
2:52:41

2:53:09
What?
2:53:10
I said, amen.
2:53:11
He said, God bless America.
2:53:12
I said, amen.
2:53:12
okay.
2:53:13
I thought you said, amen.

This is the point in the show where
3:02:26
we like to determine what clip we'll play
3:02:28
at the end of the show, what ISO.
3:02:29
It's a very important piece of our production.
3:02:32
Became a very important piece of our production.
3:02:35
And you have out clipped me once again.
3:02:37
I only have one, so I don't know.
3:02:39
But this is the second show in a
3:02:41
row with one.
3:02:42
Well, I had bird flu, you know.
3:02:44
Well, yeah.
3:02:45
How are you feeling with the bird flu?
3:02:46
I'm feeling pretty good.
3:02:47
Tina took a little turn for the worse.
3:02:49
The cough is, and she's okay, but she
3:02:51
does have a cough.
3:02:55
She's living through it.
3:02:57
It's bird flu, bird flu.
3:02:58
We'll be okay.
3:02:59
You want to hear my one ISO?
3:03:01
Yes, of course.
3:03:02
Oh, I hope 2025 is everything you wanted
3:03:05
it to be.
3:03:07
It's too bad he wasn't more gay.
3:03:11
This was pretty gay.
3:03:13
Pretty flamboyant.
3:03:14
All right.
3:03:16
I got a bunch.
3:03:17
I got five.
3:03:17
I noticed.
3:03:18
Let's start with this top one.
3:03:20
It'll go down the line.
3:03:21
Annoying.
3:03:22
It's really annoying.
3:03:24
Okay.
3:03:25
Not bad.
3:03:27
End of the year.
3:03:29
The year has come to an end.
3:03:31
Well, that would have been good for the
3:03:33
last show.
3:03:35
Joe Biden.
3:03:36
Where is Joe Biden when you need him?
3:03:40
Okay.
3:03:41
You got me on that one.
3:03:42
That's okay.
3:03:42
I like that one.
3:03:43
New year.
3:03:45
Happy new year.
3:03:50
Okay.
3:03:51
Here's the last one is wow.
3:03:52
Excellent show.
3:03:53
Wow.
3:03:54
And wow.
3:03:55
Wow.
3:03:55
Yeah, I like that one the best.
3:03:57
Let me hear that again.
3:03:58
Excellent show.
3:03:59
Wow.
3:03:59
And wow.
3:04:00
Wow.
3:04:00
I think we have a winner, John, because
3:04:01
it is always an excellent show.
3:04:03
And as we say, wow.
3:04:04
And wow.
3:04:05
Wow.
3:04:05
And it's time now for the top of
3:04:07
the show.
3:04:07
It is John's tip of the day.
3:04:17
And sometimes created by Dana Brunetti.
3:04:20
All right.
3:04:21
Tip of the day time.
3:04:22
We're all excited.
3:04:24
Okay.
3:04:25
Well, this is a YouTuber had to give
3:04:28
credit to YouTube.
3:04:29
But this guy is a natural broadcaster as
3:04:31
a kid, 22.
3:04:33
He's just still in college.
3:04:34
And he does a weather podcast daily.
3:04:39
But he focuses on extreme weather events.
3:04:42
And he will stay on.
3:04:43
And he's a I've never heard a natural
3:04:45
broadcaster at this level.
3:04:47
This guy is a natural broadcaster.
3:04:50
He's one of the you know, the type
3:04:51
they can talk endlessly, without flubbing.
3:04:56
Yes.
3:04:57
Without stammering.
3:04:58
And yak, yak, yak, yak, and just go
3:05:01
forever.
3:05:01
And he does some I understand the best
3:05:05
tornado reporting.
3:05:07
And he gets his material from all over
3:05:09
the world.
3:05:10
He doesn't just go with the National Weather
3:05:12
Service for his information.
3:05:14
And his name is max velocity, which has
3:05:16
got bogus.
3:05:17
But it's a good, good name in the
3:05:19
broad.
3:05:20
He's already got the broadcaster sense of having
3:05:22
a name like max velocity.
3:05:23
And people should, if you like weather reporters,
3:05:26
and this guy is probably going to be
3:05:28
the guy you're going to hear about this
3:05:30
guy for the rest of your life.
3:05:32
And you have a clip of max velocity?
3:05:34
No, I don't.
3:05:35
I don't add clips to these tips.
3:05:40
Max velocity on YouTube.
3:05:41
There it is, ladies and gentlemen, your tip
3:05:43
of the day, find it at tipoftheday.net
3:05:44
and noagendafun.com.
3:05:55
Why don't you go ahead and scour the
3:05:59
pod space?
3:06:01
What was it?
3:06:02
No, it's the pod.
3:06:03
What do you call pod pod pod?
3:06:05
No, the pod scape pod scape and pod
3:06:08
verse and see if you can find it's
3:06:10
not podiverse.
3:06:12
I don't know.
3:06:12
See if you can find a podcast in
3:06:14
the pod scape that gives you a tip
3:06:16
of the day.
3:06:16
I don't think so.
3:06:20
No, I don't think so either.
3:06:21
Now to mention it, we have and something
3:06:23
else you won't find is end of show
3:06:25
mixes from David Keck to these laughs and
3:06:28
the clip custodian Neil Jones with a nice
3:06:30
toe tap and Diddy.
3:06:32
And if you stick around at trollroom.io,
3:06:35
noagenda.stream, or you're listening on a modern
3:06:38
podcast app, Grimerica is up next.
3:06:41
These guys from Canada.
3:06:42
We like that.
3:06:43
We like the Grimerica guys.
3:06:44
They got a couple of guests on the
3:06:46
show.
3:06:46
It's always fun listening to them.
3:06:48
And that concludes our broadcast day for the
3:06:51
first podcast in the pod scape of 2025
3:06:54
coming to you from the heart of the
3:06:57
Texas Hill Country where we're very concerned about
3:06:59
the mist.
3:06:59
In the morning, everybody.
3:07:01
I'm Adam Curry.
3:07:02
And from Northern Silicon Valley where everyone says
3:07:05
Happy New Year 2025.
3:07:07
I'm John C.
3:07:07
Dvorak.
3:07:08
We return on Sunday right here on No

Agenda.

Remember us at noagendadonations.com.
3:07:13
Until then, adios mofos, a hooey hooey, and
3:07:17
such.
3:07:30
Flight's journey from Oregon to Ontario, California, when
3:07:38
part of the fuselage was torn off, leaving
3:07:40
a hole in the side of the aircraft.
3:07:42
Breaking news, breaking news, breaking news, they're at
3:07:45
it again.
3:07:45
Oh my God, we've got to deploy fighter
3:07:47
jets.
3:07:48
Tonight in the skies above the western United
3:07:50
States, NORAD sending up fighter jets to track
3:07:53
the high altitude balloon flying at 43,000
3:07:56
to 45,000 feet.
3:08:00
As millions of Americans look to the sky
3:08:02
on Monday to witness the total solar eclipse,
3:08:05
a group of University of Pittsburgh students will
3:08:07
be chasing shadows in the Texas Hill Country.
3:08:11
You all have called this the cheap fakes
3:08:13
video, and that's exactly what they are.
3:08:15
They're cheap fakes video.
3:08:17
Donald Trump was at a U.S. election
3:08:18
rally in Pennsylvania when gunfire was heard from
3:08:21
the crowd.
3:08:22
He raised a fist to his supporters before
3:08:24
being taken away in a car.
3:08:26
What appeared to be blood was seen on
3:08:28
Mr. Trump's ear.
3:08:31
Personalized AI.
3:08:34
I just don't get why we can't have
3:08:36
Trump and Kamala Bose be presidents.
3:08:38
And we're definitely looking for end of show
3:08:40
mixes with some musical taste to it if
3:08:42
you feel so inclined.
3:08:44
And here's some days it feels like I
3:08:47
can never leave Toronto.
3:08:49
You never say it with a second T
3:08:50
screw face capital.
3:08:52
Get your disrespect for free.
3:08:53
The only language people understand is when you
3:08:55
speak in green cars and concrete colonies, crushing
3:08:58
cron, big bunch of C and tower long
3:09:01
walk around lost in some lights that are
3:09:03
never wrong.
3:09:04
Cruise along the harborfront looking for those days
3:09:07
that are forever gone.
3:09:08
It's all about getting dough, yo, and every
3:09:11
second story.
3:09:12
If I'll tell me hoes and now we're
3:09:14
just living in a city of frauds, electric
3:09:17
bikes late up the night like we're living
3:09:19
in Tron, waiting around to get masked up
3:09:21
for a new disease and going back to
3:09:23
school to get a few degrees, graduate the
3:09:26
move here to work for Uber Eats.
3:09:27
Every day is a victory or a new
3:09:30
defeat.
3:09:30
Just choose a street.
3:09:31
I see my city.
3:09:32
Yeah, we explore them as Toronto.
3:09:34
Even millionaires can barely afford the rent.
3:09:37
They took away of life and turned it
3:09:38
into a cold and a vicious saw turning
3:09:40
kids to adults who somersault out the ball.
3:09:43
CP 24 turn up thinking that everybody raps
3:09:46
or acts plus a chance of light rain.
3:09:48
People getting opened up in the street.
3:09:50
More than bike lanes turn to ash.
3:09:52
Plus, I really can't afford a nice grave.
3:09:55
Some days I can never leave Toronto.
3:09:58
You never say it with a second T
3:10:00
screw face capital.
3:10:01
You get your disrespect for free.
3:10:03
Only language people understand is potentially concerning new
3:10:07
mutations in the bird flu.
3:10:09
First severe human case the nation's first case
3:10:14
of bird flu.
3:10:16
The first human case of bird flu.
3:10:18
When you hear the words severe case, should
3:10:21
we be worried?
3:10:24
It's super dangerous.
3:10:30
That means we're not testing enough.
3:10:32
And we know from other viruses that a
3:10:34
lot of the spread can be asymptomatic.
3:10:36
We should be having rapid tests home tests
3:10:38
available to all farmworkers to their families.
3:10:45
What we need to be doing is a
3:10:49
whole lot more testing.
3:11:13
The best podcast in the universe.
3:11:18
Adios mofo.
3:11:20
Dvorak.org slash N A.
3:11:24
Excellent show.
3:11:25
Wow.
