Oh my, Dad was right!
Adam Curry.
John C.
Dvorak.
It's Thursday, November 13th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1816.
This is no agenda.
With bikini-clad babes, we're broadcasting live from
the heart of the Texas Hill Country here
in FEMA Region No.
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where there's no
bikinis because it's raining out, I'm John C.
Dvorak.
Who gave us these?
Somebody sent these.
I don't remember.
Somebody.
And they look like a...
This is one of the few times they
send them to both of us.
Usually I just get stuff.
And they look like a really bad sex
toy.
And it takes a lot of...
You have to figure out how to use
it right.
It takes talent, is what you're saying.
And what's the point?
People have to...
We should probably take a picture of this
and put it on the newsletter.
But it's like, what's the point of the
lid?
Well, if you close the lid, it doesn't
work.
Right, but what's the point of it?
Well, if you look inside...
Is it to keep rats out of going
in it?
Or what's the point?
No, well, look.
I have wondered this myself.
Why don't you bring it up?
And if you look inside, there's a very
sensitive film inside.
And so I believe it is to protect
that from rats.
You see that?
There's a little film, little rubbery thing in
there.
Yeah, no, I see what's in there.
It looks like a smiley face.
Well, if you touch that, then that thing
has a little...
I wouldn't...
Yeah.
Okay.
And...
This is the kind of crazy device that
we have.
Good morning to you, podcast enthusiasts.
We're glad that you're here.
I'm waiting for the penny to drop with
you.
Okay, well, you set me up with a
beautiful opening for I'm not sure what.
Don't you remember?
Unless you're talking about these Kimmel clips.
No, I'm talking about the great email we
received from Stone McGee.
What's Stone McGee?
What was the Stone McGee email?
Stone McGee said, I have his email.
Hi, Noah Gender Rings.
Oh, right.
Okay.
I forgot about this email.
Yes, I got an email.
I sent it to Adam.
I got this email that was obviously done.
These guys should be ashamed of themselves.
Especially Stone McGee.
Stone McGee in particular.
And yes, I would hope to.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you for bringing that email up.
This is the kind of email we get.
Or I got this one.
Both of us get these, though.
From guys who are sales guys that really
don't know how to sell.
Because they can't even write a note.
This is not even written by them.
This is written by some AI.
And this shows you why it fails.
Please read this.
Yes.
And by the way, I think Stone McGee
is a great DJ name.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Stone McGee in the morning.
Good morning, everybody.
Stone McGee with you.
Hi, Noah Gender Rings.
We have NoahGenderRings.com.
So this is where it was.
Somebody scraped the internet and found this web
address.
I wanted to share the result of my
60-day comparative analysis of Noah Gender Show.
It appears that NoahGenderShow.net and NoahGenderShop.com
are receiving better online clicks.
The good news?
Enhancing strategies around keywords like Noah Gender Podcast,
Nighthood Rings, Sir Dame Status Ring.
It's my favorite.
Yeah, it's a beauty.
I like a Sir Dame Status Ring.
And unique podcast merchandise, along with effective technical
modifications, will allow NoahGenderRings.com to improve engagement
with podcast enthusiasts.
Well, when I heard that, when I heard
that we could improve engagement with podcast enthusiasts,
I was very turned on.
Interested in discussing this further?
Regards, Stone McGee.
So I just wondered, how many people out
there are a podcast enthusiast who are listening
to us?
Probably a few.
I'm sure there are quite a few podcast
enthusiasts.
Yes.
It's amazing.
Yeah, that is the kind of pathetic pitch.
It's a pitch that floats around, and I
don't know that it's negative.
If you get a pitch from a guy
like this, you would never do business with
him.
Because this is just a moment of incompetence.
And still, I wager that he still gets
people, yeah, yeah, that's great.
I suppose if he sent out one million
emails to every web address that you have
scraped, there's got to be one that would
fit the criteria perfectly for that, so in
other words, as it pulled out information, it
would pull out exactly the right information and
sound like a real pitch.
And maybe there could be 10 or 20
or 30 of them.
I have yet to see one.
I haven't seen one either.
I did get a note from Justin from
OP Way.
He was on a flight, and he was
catching up on No Agenda.
He's like, holy mackerel, you guys called me
out like three times.
He says, yes, noagendaboots.com, noagendasneakers.com, and
noagendashoes.com will soon be on the air
for our Valuetainment footwear.
Valuetainment clone.
He says, shall I send the contract?
So I said, no, no.
If you can just put No Agenda on
the soles of these shoes or stitch in
some ITM 33s, just send the donation from
time to time, we'll be fine.
That's my basic system.
That is the Valuetainment.
And it's worked, so we're not changing nothing.
Although I wonder how the kids at noagendashop
.com are doing.
I don't know.
I think they need a boost.
Noagendashop.com for all your No Agenda shop
slop.
It's all there, everybody.
I think they may have burned out.
I mean, we've noticed this, of course, and
we've been doing this long enough.
Because we did t-shirts, too, at the
very beginning.
We did?
Yeah.
Yeah, we had the nude.
Oh, Eric tried to make money off of
it.
Yeah, he was getting donation or something.
He lost his shirt, so to speak.
Yeah, it's a loser.
And people who do merch, they lose their
asses eventually.
Sometimes you'll get a little boost at the
beginning, but it's not sustainable.
Because it's like you have a set number
of, in our case, producers, and they grab
a few things now and again at the
beginning when they're enthusiastic, and then after a
while they stop buying, and so you can't
get repeat customers.
No, and then you're stuck with a whole
pile of t-shirts.
Yeah, which you can't even give away to
anybody else because they don't know what the
hell you're talking about.
What is this Gitmo Nation thing?
I don't want this.
Bring them to goodwill.
So we do it this way, which is…
And it's actually quite difficult.
So we have one premium feature, which is
the night and the day ring, and we
got a note from…
But we also have the other minor, the
come and go features, which is, for example,
currently we have the Peace Prize.
The No Agenda Peace Prize, yeah.
But that's a very exclusive, limited supply.
And then we have the Rub-a-Lyzer,
which I got to do a quick update
on the Rub-a-Lyzer.
Oh, for the challenge coin?
Yeah, Paul Couture just sent me a mock
-up of one side of the challenge coin.
Yeah.
He is the best at this.
He did the original challenge coin for us,
and he does the website that we use,
the noagendaart.com.
No, noagendaartgenerator.com.
Okay, so it's only been there for 15
years.
Yeah, what am I going to do?
Noagendaartgenerator.com, so it's very convenient to type
all that in.
Once you do it, it auto-completes.
Don't worry.
Once you get it right.
So he did the original art, and he
is just an incredibly talented artist.
And this thing will be done probably within
the next 30 days.
Okay.
Then we've got to have it produced, which
Jay will do.
Yeah, I was looking at my challenge coin
collection.
We have done quite a number of challenge
coins.
I think one of my favorites is the
2012 Geocash coin.
Remember that one?
I have a collection, too.
It doesn't come to mind.
These things will be around long after we're
gone.
That's what I like.
Yeah, yeah, that's for sure.
And at some point, like 100 years from
now, somebody will discover them, and it will
be on Antiques Roadshow.
Yes, and we found one of these.
These are very collectible, and the market's been
going up.
What is the challenge coin?
Well, I've got two of them.
They're worth $7,000 each.
Wow.
Oh, my dad was right.
The Antiques Roadshow.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Well, I did see your series of Kimmel
clips come in, so I'm very interested.
I think maybe just for form's sake, we
should probably do the Epstein stuff because that
is, oh, my Lord, is just so amazing.
Trump is mentioned.
He's with bikini-clad girls.
Epstein!
Tonight, in newly released email, sex offender Jeffrey
Epstein repeatedly discussing Donald Trump, shedding new light
on their long friendship and seeming to suggest
Trump had information he never shared.
In a 2011 exchange with his co-conspirator,
Glenn Maxwell, Epstein writing the, quote, dog that
hasn't barked is Trump, adding one of his
victims spent hours with Trump at Epstein's home,
but that Trump has never once been mentioned.
Maxwell replying, I have been thinking about that.
The emails obtained from the Epstein estate.
Wow.
Wow.
Bombshell.
Maxwell replying, I have been thinking about that.
The emails obtained from the Epstein estate were
released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
Tonight, House Republicans and the White House say
the victim mentioned was Virginia Giuffre, who once
worked at Trump's spa at Mar-a-Lago.
She had said she never saw Trump do
anything inappropriate.
She died by suicide earlier this year.
Trump and Epstein were friends for more than
a decade.
Have you socialized with him?
Yes, sir.
Yes?
Yes, sir.
Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in
the presence of females under the age of
18?
Now, I better invoke something here.
Though I'd like to answer that question, at
least today, I'm going to have to assert
my 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.
Trump insists he broke off the friendship when
he learned Epstein and Maxwell were luring away
women and teenage girls who worked at Mar
-a-Lago.
Stole people that worked for me.
I said, don't ever do that again.
He did it again, and I threw him
out of the place.
Persona non grata.
I threw him out, and that was it.
I thought the most interesting of the Epstein
emails was Michael Wolff, who, you know, this
hoity-toity journalist.
He was basically an image consultant for Epstein.
Well, you know, if you do this and
then, you know, it'll look like that in
the media.
I mean, that guy's creepy.
He basically was working for Epstein.
Yeah, as a PR consultant.
Yeah.
Let's go around the world.
Let's see what the BBC has to say.
Well, shortly before we came in the studio
to record this podcast, Democrats in the U
.S. House of Representatives released emails from the
convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that referenced President
Trump.
They say the emails raised serious questions about
how much Mr. Trump knew about the late
financier's behavior.
Mr. Trump has consistently said he knew nothing
of Epstein's activities and didn't engage in any
wrongdoing himself.
Now, the White House press secretary, Caroline Leavitt,
has responded by saying the Democrats selectively leaked
emails to the liberal media to create a
fake narrative to smear President Trump.
Okay, let's check out France 24 then, shall
we?
A damning new batch of emails which threaten
to raise questions about U.S. President Donald
Trump's relationship with...
Wait, stop, stop.
Their phrase, they threaten...
Yes, they threaten to raise questions.
To raise questions.
So wait a minute, why don't they just
raise questions?
Why do they have to threaten to do
it?
Why don't you just raise the questions as
opposed to threaten to...
I'm threatening that I'm going to ask you
a question.
What kind of thinking is this?
It's even more ludicrous because if I understood
the report correctly, it's the emails raised the
threatening questions.
The emails.
So this non-entity is threatening to raise
questions.
Listen.
A damning new batch of emails which threaten
to raise questions about U.S. President Donald
Trump's relationship...
Oh, those emails, I'm afraid of them.
...with Jeffrey Epstein and whether or not he
knew about the sex offenders' crimes.
The three emails were released by U.S.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.
In one exchange between Epstein and his former
girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein alleges an unnamed victim
spent hours at his house with Trump.
And in another exchange, this time between Epstein
and author Michael Wolff, Epstein says of course
Trump knew about the girls as he asked
Ghislaine to stop.
Donald Trump has consistently denied that he had
any knowledge of Epstein's sex trafficking activities.
The White House responded by accusing Democrats of
smearing President Trump, but the emails could heap
pressure on the White House to publish the
files.
Democrats in the House are now a step
closer to forcing the publication, with the swearing
-in of a Democrat as representative for Arizona's
7th congressional district.
Do you notice, by the way, that the
France 24 report is also done by a
Brit?
I find that just interesting.
Which had been delayed since she was elected
seven weeks ago.
She has now signed the petition, giving it
the needed 218 signatures that could eventually lead
to the release of the so-called Epstein
case files.
That was President Donald Trump in July this
year, offering a very different opinion of Jeffrey
Epstein than he once shared publicly.
In 2002, long before he became president, Trump
told New York Magazine he'd known Jeffrey Epstein
for 15 years and called him a terrific
guy.
He's a lot of fun to be with.
It is even said that he likes beautiful
women as much as I do, and many
of them are on the younger side, Trump
told the magazine.
Over the years, the two have been spotted
many times in public together.
This NBC video shows Trump and Epstein socializing
in 1992 at a party at Trump's Mar
-a-Lago estate.
The video, released in 2019, shows Trump appearing
to say to Epstein, look at her back
there, she's hot, while Epstein smiles and nods.
Former swimsuit model Stacey Williams, who dated Epstein
in 1993, told CNN in an interview, Trump
was Epstein's wingman.
They were best friends.
They were very close and they were up
to no good.
Wait a minute, she didn't actually say wingman.
But why didn't they put the wingman, the
nat pup in there?
Oh, good catch.
Yeah, she didn't say that.
Yeah, this is one of those classic examples
that we keep pointing out on the show
over and over again, where the host says
one thing and the exemplary clip that they
bring into play doesn't say it at all.
Look at her back there, she's hot, while
Epstein smiles and nods.
Former swimsuit model Stacey Williams, who dated Epstein
in 1993, told CNN in an interview, Trump
was Epstein's wingman.
So she's literally saying she told CNN in
an interview that Trump was Epstein's wingman.
This is their archive footage, I presume, and
yet she doesn't say that.
They were best friends.
They were very close and they were up
to no good.
The two men flew together as well.
Being up to no good is not the
same as being a wingman.
No, definitely not.
And I like this, he flew on the
jet.
Yeah, but not with Epstein.
And they were up to no good.
The two men flew together as well.
These flight logs show Trump traveled on Epstein's
jet four times in 1993, twice in 1994,
and once in 1995 and in 1997.
The logs were made public during Ghislaine Maxwell's
2021 trial, where she was convicted of sex
trafficking, among other things.
Epstein also attended Trump's wedding to Marla Maples
at New York's Plaza Hotel in 1993.
In 1997, Trump added this personal note to
Epstein inside a copy of his book, The
Art of the Comeback.
It reads, To Jeff, you are the greatest,
according to the New York Times.
That same year, the two men were photographed
together at Mar-a-Lago.
Wow, I don't even get the joke.
That's a joke that you could have made.
Yeah, it would be my type of joke.
Yeah, I like that joke.
You are the greatest, according to the New
York Times.
That same year, the two men were photographed
together at Mar-a-Lago.
This exclusive CNN video shows Epstein and Trump
chatting in 1999 before a Victoria's Secret fashion
show.
Yeah, so okay, so nothing.
Where did that come from?
What was that report?
That was CNN.
Oh, brother.
CNN, yeah.
And I won't bore you with the…
Anderson Cooper had the grief.
By the way, CNN was brought into play
in the newsletter, the last newsletter as the
hypocrite of the week.
Yeah, the newsletter was good, actually.
I liked the newsletter because we invoked the
inverse Fredericksburg theory, which was perfect.
The inverse Fredericksburg theory where the word around…
Well, yes, on the show we did.
Yes, where the word around town was, 90
days.
And then we, of course, concluded, well, that
means it will end any minute now.
Yeah, any minute.
And it did.
It ended right after the show.
Grids going down.
No, the grid's not going to go down.
Don't worry about it.
That's the inverse Fredericksburg theme.
Yes, the inverse.
That's actually, that's a good phrase.
Yeah.
And we should note it because it's been
100% accurate.
It has.
100%.
And I think you were correct in asserting
that this was all done to get through
these, the democratic sweep, the sweep of governors
and mayors and other people.
Prop 50.
Prop 50.
One thing after another, yeah.
Which surprisingly passed.
And you said it would never pass.
No, no.
No, I never said it would never pass.
I said it will never get implemented because
as we talked about months ago, because when
it was first being thought of, the redistricting
thing, before it was actually a proposition, but
they were talking about doing it in Texas.
Yeah.
There were some of the local yokels on
the Commonwealth Club saying, yeah, well, the Republicans
tried doing this too, and they got it
passed, and the courts struck it down, and
this is going to get struck down too.
Ah, okay.
Well, who was challenging it before the court?
It's being challenged by a number of groups,
and the rationale for the challenge is quite
good.
Okay.
It's a racial thing.
It's racism.
They are making new districts based on race,
and that's illegal, and it's unconstitutional, and it's
going to get struck down.
It's a bull crap thing.
You're telling me the Democrats are racist?
What?
Yeah.
I've heard about this.
I can't prove it, but I've heard it.
So I do have a North Sea Nexus
stuff, but I would— I have a North
Sea Nexus.
And by the way, I'm disliking the term.
Why?
Because the Spanish have a monarchy, and— Yeah,
they're part of it.
Yes, they're part of it.
Yeah, but they're not in the North Sea.
That's the problem I'm having.
Well, if you go far enough to the
north— They're right on the Mediterranean.
It's nowhere near there.
But we have jingles and everything.
You cannot.
I just like the idea of a monarchy
being thrown in, because there's a monarchic aspect
to this.
Everyone is already used to North Sea Nexus.
Well, I'm not going to kick it off
the boat.
I'm just saying I dislike it.
It's like the Eurovision Song Contest, including Israel.
I mean, come on.
It's like— Well, that's exactly what we're dealing
with.
We should be able to do this.
I have a North Sea Nexus clip.
Why don't we wait with the North Sea
Nexus?
You have like 8,000 clips about Kimmel.
This must be weighing very heavy on you.
Well, let me explain.
Okay.
Most of these clips are short, as you
noticed.
Okay.
I felt like I was— This was from
a podcast called We Can Do Hard Things
that's run by three lesbians.
Okay.
A famous lesbian couple, a famous lesbian couple,
an author and her— Well, how famous are
they?
The woman, I have to go look them
up, their names, because I can't keep remembering
them.
Because they're so famous.
No, she's super famous.
She's got written a bunch of lesbian books.
She's a super famous author.
And her Diesel-Dyke wife is a famous
U.S. soccer player and a soccer coach.
These are not slouches, but I never heard
of them.
But they're not slouches in the scheme of
things.
Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach, and Amanda Doyle?
Yeah.
Okay.
Super famous.
That's what I feel, too.
But you look them up, especially Glenda, and
they're famous.
But they're only famous in lesbian circles.
Oh.
You're not a lesbian.
No.
I'm not a lesbian.
Who are we to say what's famous?
Who's a famous lesbian?
We can't do it.
And we are famously out of touch.
We're old boomers.
We don't know who the famous young lesbian
authors are.
Have you checked this for authenticity?
Yes, I did.
And I did enough research to indicate that,
yes, they're famous lesbians.
So this qualifies as media deconstruction because it's
not just a podcast.
It's a podcast hosted by famous lesbians.
Yes, exactly.
All right.
I'm in.
I'm in.
And so Jimmy Kimmel and his wife, who
live next door to the famous lesbians, decided
to do their podcast.
And they revealed a lot to an extreme,
I think, because they were so relaxed with
these lesbians that it's just...
Because they're neighbors.
To me, I felt like Sigmund Freud and
who walked into my office but a sexually
perverted, schizophrenic, bipolar, paranoid, screwball nutjob of the
highest order that I'd never see or witness
again in my entire life.
And that would be Jimmy Kimmel?
No, actually, Jimmy Kimmel's wife.
Oh, well, this explains a lot about him.
Mollie.
Mollie Kimmel.
Mollie McNerney.
Is she related to the other McNerney?
No, no, no.
This is a different spelling.
It's totally different.
At any point, did anyone in the podcast
say, hey, stop clamming up?
Or did that not happen?
So, brother, you got a little list there
or something that you refer to for these
kinds of jokes?
Yeah, it's called the troll room.
Okay, what am I thinking?
They're on point.
What am I thinking?
So, just to give you an indicator, I'm
going to play the two clips of the
opening.
Now, when you're introduced to a podcast, this
is the...
I always have to tell you what these
clips are specifically because they're put together in
a very awkward way.
Yes, I can tell.
So, the one you're looking for here for
the starter is Kimmel and Wife 1.
And before you play it, this is a
short nine seconds.
So, you go on a podcast.
Yeah.
And you usually, someone says, hi, how are
you doing?
And you usually say, hi, hello, or whatever.
You know, it's a phony, baloney, greedy.
Listen to the way they begin.
How's it going?
Hi, guys.
How are you doing?
Good.
I might cry.
I'm just seeing your faces.
Wow.
So, Kimmel says, hi, guys.
And the first thing she says is not
hello.
No, I'm going to cry.
I'm going to cry.
I'm going to say that next time I'm
on Rogan.
I say, hey, Joe, hey, brother, I'm about
to cry.
It's just so good to see you.
Okay.
Now, Kimmel tries to soften the blow with
Kimmel Wife 2.
Kimmel Wife...
Wait.
Kimmel and...
Oh, Kimmel Wife 2.
I got it.
You cry on every podcast.
No, I already don't feel special.
It's not true.
Can you cry hardest today, Molly?
I will definitely cry the hardest here.
Thank you.
To see Sissy.
Oh, my God.
This is so exciting.
Oh, man.
Oh, but this is neighbor talk.
Do they have to take a bus to
their neighbor?
Do they live in one of those homes,
like those really big homesteads in Beverly...
No, Beverly Hills is close together.
In Brentwood.
Yeah, they're pretty...
They're right next door.
Okay.
All right.
I could jump to the one clip.
I mean, I can play all these clips.
I'm going to play...
Roll the way you want to, man.
I'm ready.
I'm excited.
Let's...
Okay, well, the thing that...
So far, it's not paying off, but I'm
excited.
The thing...
There it is again, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, I have to say, I got
a note from Julie.
Julie Sensman.
Yes, good old Julie.
And Julie says, Adam, I wish you and
John would not have talked about how mean
you are to him, because now I notice
it all the time.
There it is.
It's all subtle.
It's all resentful.
It's very...
It's noticeable.
It's noticeable.
Okay.
So we go with it.
We go with it.
Now, this...
What triggered my fascination, and I don't want
to belabor this and make it a 40
-minute presentation, but it was...
A chunk of this was presented on every
Fox show about her being upset with, you
know, her relatives, and that's all they left
it at.
They left all the good stuff out.
And I want to start with some of
this stuff, and let's go with...
This, I think, is part of the two
-parter that they played everywhere, at least chunks
of it everywhere, to make her look like
an idiot.
And by the way, she is.
She is, and she's always scolding him, and
she's always saying, She says that a lot.
And he's just...
He's a beaten man, and it's almost pathetic
to watch.
And the last clip that I play in
this presentation is extremely pathetic, and I leave
it for the end.
This is Kimmel and wife losses.
Losses.
Okay.
A long one.
Yep, I got you.
This is random, but I think about it
all the time with you guys.
You come from a pretty conservative family.
Yes.
I just...
Not me, but mom.
No, not you.
And I just wonder, what is Thanksgiving?
It's one thing to come from a conservative
family and just sort of deprogram yourself and
go along your life.
But what is it like to come from
a conservative family and then become the Mockingjay
of the other side?
Mockingjay?
Well, it's definitely been challenging.
Thankfully, my immediate family, they did not vote
for Donald Trump.
They did the first time, a few of
them.
We flipped them the second time.
It's weird.
When Donald Trump was first elected, I was
so upset.
We all were.
But I remember thinking, I understand it, because
I grew up in a very conservative Republican
house.
I bought my dad a Rush Limbaugh tie
in high school.
I voted Republican straight ticket, and that's what
I was told to do.
And then I left St. Louis, Missouri, and
I met people from different backgrounds, and I
started to understand different things and different needs
and different people.
So there's a little bit of sympathy I
have for people in my family that I
feel are kind of being deliberately misinformed every
day.
Not kind of.
Yeah.
They're deliberately being misinformed every day, and they
believe it.
But it hurts me so much because of
the personal relationship I now have where my
husband is out there fighting this man.
And to me, them voting for Trump is
them not voting for my husband and me
and our family.
And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships
with people in my family because of it.
Obviously, I read the New York Times all
day long, mainly on my iPad app.
It's her.
It's her.
Wow.
And so Jimmy Kimmel is fighting Donald Trump.
This man.
This man.
This man of mine.
He is fighting, fighting Donald.
This is sad to hear, actually.
So far, you've only made me sad.
Yeah, this is not going to be uplifting.
I'll just give you that warning.
Okay.
It's pathetic.
And the fact that there are people out
there like this, and now you have to
remember that she is the head writer of
the Kimmel Show and the executive producer.
Oh.
How did she get that gig?
She started off as an intern, I think
when the show first began about 20 years
ago, and she worked her way up and
took over the show.
Wow.
Well, that's a rags to riches story.
Yeah, well, she seems like an aggressive woman.
And she not only took over the show,
but she married Jimmy.
So she was the writer on the show,
and they met on the show.
Yeah, yeah.
It's sexist.
That's illegal in some states.
So when did the lesbians come in?
Because so far, it's like...
The lesbians will be explained at the end.
When they moved to this new house, that's
when they discovered the lesbians were next door.
The lesbians are talking on and off.
You can't tell the difference.
One of those great shows where everybody's voice
is exactly the same.
But most of this is Molly.
Okay.
So, I mean, the lesbians are very...
I'm just trying to clip Molly.
Here's Molly again, and this is part two
of that clip.
This is losses two.
It's like...
This is not just Republican versus Democrat for
me anymore.
It is, to me, it's family values.
And it's really hard for me, because I
grew up believing in these Christian ideals of
taking care of the sick and taking care
of the poor, and I don't see that
happening with this Republican Party.
And so I feel like I'm kind of
in constant conflict, and I'm angry all the
time, which isn't healthy at all.
But I personalize everything now.
When I see these terrible stories every day,
I'm immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins
who put him in power.
Wow.
It's really hard.
I wish I could deprogram myself in some
way, but I get really angry.
Oh, no.
Come to Bridge Church.
We'll take care of you.
Don't worry if you want to be deprogrammed.
That's unlikely.
I feel really bad for her.
She gets mad at her family for putting
him in power?
Yeah.
Jeez.
So here we go with the...
This is a little later, and this comes
up, because I just thought it was connected.
And this is the Kimmel and wife final
resentment clip.
Every time I go to a fundraiser, and
we do a lot of fundraising and donating
to candidates and causes, I go, of course
I'm going to give this.
But I'd rather be giving it to Children's
Hospital right now.
And I'm giving money so I can make
sure this woman who should definitely be elected
gets elected.
Like, duh, of course this woman should win.
Why are we voting for this clown?
And I get resentful of the amount of
energy we all have to push forward so
we don't keep falling back.
I'm like, can we just keep going this
way?
And we just keep getting yanked back and
yanked back.
And I get really resentful of people in
my life that I feel like put us
there.
Causes and candidates.
Wow.
There's always women involved, by the way.
She's a very feminist woman.
Well, isn't this exactly, although she's not middle
class, but she's upper class, upper class white
woman.
Yeah, she's the classic.
Very classic.
Now, I got two clips here.
This is where they tell the kids when
they got suspended for a couple of days.
It was such a big deal, national news.
Yeah.
And they have to tell the kids, and
so there's a lot of- It's not
like daddy lost his job from the factory.
I mean, they're going to be okay.
Well, this is an interesting- This shows
you the family dynamics.
They have brainwashed their kids.
If you listen to these clips carefully, it's
quite interesting.
And I don't believe there's any exaggeration or
embellishment with this discussion.
And there's a two-parter here, and this
is Kimmel and wife telling their kids.
And Jimmy let them know.
He said, my show has been suspended.
And our daughter immediately burst into tears.
And she said, I'll sell my labooboos.
And we told her, yeah, you should.
No, we did not.
We told her, no, you don't need to
do that.
You don't need to sell labooboos.
And our son asked if the president had
done this.
And we looked at each other, and we
didn't quite know how to answer that question.
I think I said yes.
We did.
We actually both said yes at the exact
same time.
We said yes, he did.
And it's weird, you know, because you don't
want your kids to- It's certainly not
an experience I had with my parents.
You know, I think every single parent who
has ever lost the job, there is that
heartbreaking moment.
I remember my daughter saying it when I
got fired for the seventh time.
Well, Dad, you know, I can help.
I think she actually said, can't you just
go to the money machine?
I think that's what she said.
Well, that's not the point of this clip.
No, I understand.
It's the indoctrination about the president.
Well, that and the idea that Trump fired
him.
Yeah, Trump, yes.
Because one kid says, oh, did the president
fire you?
And then they said, yeah, he did.
No, he didn't.
That's a lie.
Yeah.
That's just a blatant lie.
Well, I think we should call the Children
Protection Service.
Start a letter to the Times.
CPS.
Okay, so here's the second part of this.
This is Kimmel and wife, kids two.
To calm her down, you know, we said,
we're okay.
We're going to be fine.
You know, it's going to be okay.
This does not change your life.
It doesn't change your friends.
It doesn't change the memories you make.
We're going to be okay.
And we really, Jimmy and I think really
both believed that night the show was never
coming back.
So we were lying.
So we were lying.
Of course.
And then I went over to the pantry
and ate everything in it.
That's also true.
And I said to Jane, I said, and
Billy, I said, I want you guys to
know that it's really important you remember this
moment.
And I want you to remember this, that
your dad and his show are on the
right side of history.
I want you to remember that.
And my daughter very earnestly paused and she
said, I thought we were on the left.
Wow.
Kudos for sitting through this thing.
I couldn't get away from it.
I felt like again, Freud.
It was unbelievable.
So let's go on with a couple of
the side notes.
Besides that horrible thing to say, I thought
we were on the left.
What kind of kids?
These are kids.
They're not teenagers even.
Okay.
Here's here's Kimmel and his wife on about
the typical way they think.
And this is about they bring in Fox
News.
I thought this was enlightening.
Kimmel, Fox News.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They can watch.
They can watch Fox News all day.
But the hard part for me, this is
it's a strange position to be in.
It's like you personally know two humans in
your life.
You're related to our jobs here.
We don't tell lies.
We tell jokes.
But we are literally scouring the news every
day.
Presenting people the facts followed by jokes.
And if you can't, why are you to
me?
I go, why are you trusting that guy
over me?
This is exactly why late night television is
dying.
Is because everyone is a warrior.
Just tell some jokes.
Show the movie clip.
Ask the scripted questions and move on.
You know, she says that we're not lying.
Kimmel lied, probably with her writing, about how
it was a Trumper that killed Charlie Kirk.
And it wasn't.
That's a lie.
She lies on this show when she says
Trump fired Kimmel.
Trump had nothing to do with firing Kimmel.
He may have bitched and moaned, but he
didn't fire him.
He wasn't working for Trump.
So they are liars, these two.
And listen to the extent of it.
By the self brainwashing, this is Kimmel and
wife on Kimmel's client.
This is where Jimmy talks.
Which is rare in this interview, believe me.
This is where Jimmy actually gets to talk.
But his rant on climate is ludicrous.
Biden wasn't president anymore.
They're all over Trump.
And they'll be back to the other side
when the other side is in charge.
It's a ruse to make as much money
as they possibly can.
And eventually, I think that's going to come
back to bite them in the ass also.
I just don't think people are thinking in
the long term.
And that the greater good is more important
than individual good.
For the individual.
Agreed.
We look at what we do to the
climate.
It's like, hey, I can make a little
bit more money if I burn as much
fossil fuel as I possibly can.
It's like, oh, that's great.
It's going to be really hot.
You're not going to have water.
Trick or treating in a bikini.
Your grandchildren are going to be living in
a hellscape because you made a little bit
more money this year.
I think that we're going to, as a
society, going to look back at this time
and we're going to be really angry at
the people that made those decisions.
All of us.
Not just the left.
All of us are going to look back
and go, what the hell did these people
do to us?
Things were going pretty good on this planet.
And now look at where we are.
It's really, you know, it's hard not to
feel defeated.
It really is.
Do you think that he really means this
or is this virtue signaling to the extreme?
No, I think he means it.
I think he's been completely taken in by
it.
Well, I'm not feeling good.
Again, I'm not feeling good about this expose
of yours.
This makes me feel very, because, you know,
there's less, but almost half of America must
feel this way.
Yes.
They must speak this way.
I think we have to come to grips
with this.
I've come to grips with it, but the
confrontation is always saddening.
Well, I consider it pathetic.
So here's the last clip.
And this is the clip.
I think it's the last clip.
It better be.
This is the clip.
This is Kimmel and wife.
This is the final anecdote.
This is the story about how they met
the two lesbians, the lesbian couple next door.
The famous lesbian, even though you mocked me
for saying that.
But the famous lesbian and her famous partner
wife.
I think they're married.
I don't know.
I don't care.
And this indicates to me that Kimmel's wife
has got tons of problems.
For one thing, she recognized these people on
site and met.
I'm going to give you, this is a
briefing of what you're going to hear.
Yes, it's a lot of setup.
It's a big setup because it's the end.
So she is, I'm just trying to get
you into your mind's frame.
She knows who these lesbians are.
And they're the most famous people in her
life the way she sees it.
And she kind of went nuts when she
met them.
And then she embarrassed herself in a way
that is extremely insulting to Jimmy.
And I don't know whether he gets it
or not.
He does make a little sound in here
you'll hear.
And she is a horrible person for saying
what she's about to say.
Here we go.
We're neighbors.
And when you moved here, you DM'd us.
Right.
First of all, hold on one sec.
Let's just go back.
Before the DM happened, I had a full
freak out seeing both of you guys outside.
Yeah.
Oh, yes.
This was quite a night.
Really embarrassing.
Now, I want to remind you that I've
worked at this show for 23 years.
And we have, I think, met every possible
celebrity and political figure.
Unfazed.
I am on a walk.
I see you two.
And I just became undone.
I didn't know what to do.
I went, oh, hi, Glennon, Abby, hi, hi.
And then I did a thing that I
never do, which I identified myself as Jimmy's
wife, which was so gross.
I prefer it.
I said, hi, I'm Molly.
And you're like, who the hell is Molly?
I'm Jimmy Kimmel's wife.
And I wanted to die.
Yeah.
Kimmel in that little back and forth says,
I prefer it.
I prefer it.
Good luck.
And it was like, she's also a showrunner,
I should mention.
What she did there to him, I think,
was one of the most horrible things a
woman could ever do.
She was embarrassed that she was the wife
of Jimmy Kimmel.
And she was embarrassed to say that and
humiliated by it.
She obviously doesn't like men, doesn't like her
husband.
And she doesn't like anything.
She hates Republicans and she hates her own
family.
This is a horrible person.
And she runs the Jimmy Kimmel show.
So you wonder why the ratings are crap
on that show.
Yeah.
What are they going to do after?
Because eventually all late night has to go
away.
Well, they're going to have to get rid
of these shows.
Yeah.
I mean, it's possible that The Last Man
Standing can maintain enough numbers to stay in
business.
That would be The Tonight Show.
Yeah.
But this has got to end.
The North Sea Nexus Report.
With Adam Kern.
And John C.
Domorek.
Beware the North Sea Nexus.
All right.
See, we have jingles, so we can't change
the name.
But we're sticking with North Sea Nexus for
now.
John has a clip.
Yeah, I heard this clip and it was
totally like the way it was played as
a news item.
It was done kind of missing the point
that we brought up and you, I think,
in particular, brought up the fact that these,
I thought we may have both agreed on
it almost simultaneously, that these attacks on these
Venezuelan boats have got nothing to do with
us.
But it's a way to give it to
the, to kind of put the screws to
the North Sea Nexus.
Because the drug running is the big industry
and it all gets whitewashed through the City
of London banks.
Which brought me back to a thought which
I just kind of recollected, which you mentioned.
There's a show that I tried to watch
a couple of times.
It was on Netflix.
I'm not sure what it is.
But it's a show about this, I guess,
some guy, King, or it's a royal show.
But it's set in modern times and in
the background, the guy's growing marijuana.
Oh, yeah.
This is a show you liked.
He's a lord.
I found it unwatchable.
He inherits the estate and they're growing marijuana
on the estate.
Unbeknownst to him at the time.
Yes, I can't remember the name of it,
but yes.
Great show.
It's a great show whose name eludes you.
Well, I watch a lot of shows.
Well, that show, which I didn't find watchable.
You liked it.
I did.
I liked it a lot.
And it was brought to mind when I
heard this story.
But if you think of the backdrop of
our analysis that these Venezuelan boats are headed
to basically headed to a transfer point so
this stuff can go to Europe, not here.
This story makes it very funny.
This is the aha story, UK concerns.
NPR.
European countries have raised concerns about America's military
buildup in the Caribbean, but Secretary of State
Marco Rubio says no one brought it up
with him at a G7 meeting in Canada,
as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.
Wrapping up his two-day visit to Canada,
Secretary Rubio brushed off reports that the U
.K. is withholding certain intelligence from the U
.S. because of concerns about deadly strikes on
alleged drug boats from Venezuela.
We have very strong partnerships with the U
.K. and other countries.
Again, nothing has changed or happened that has
impeded in any way our ability to do
what we're doing, nor are we asking anyone
to help us with what we're doing in
any realm, and that includes military.
Rubio says the U.S. has plenty of
military assets in the region that can collect
intelligence for what he calls a counter-narcotics
campaign, and he says this issue never came
up during his meetings with other G7 foreign
ministers.
Yeah, the show is called The Gentleman.
It's a Guy Ritchie series, The Gentleman.
Right, The Gentleman.
So this, of course, everyone latched onto this
knowing about the North Sea Nexus.
My timeline was filled with it.
And I love this because I didn't have
this angle from Rubio saying, well, nothing has
changed.
That would make it harder for us.
But the U.K. definitely let out a
story.
I don't think there was anyone on record
saying, hey, you know, we don't want to
participate in this.
Knock it off.
Listen to the CNN version of this.
Just into the Situation Room, the United Kingdom
is suspending some intelligence sharing with the United
States because of the Trump administration's strikes against
alleged drug boats in the Caribbean.
Just into the Situation Room, by the way.
CNN national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand joins us
with her exclusive reporting.
Exclusive!
So this is so significant, Natasha, because the
U.K. is arguably the closest ally to
the United States when it comes to intelligence
sharing.
And now on this issue, at least, it's
pulling back, right?
That's exactly right, Pam.
So previously, the U.K. had been a
very important intelligence sharing partner for the U
.S. in the Caribbean because, of course, the
U.K. has a number of territories in
the Caribbean.
They have an interest in helping to stop
the flow of drugs to the United States
and to elsewhere in the Caribbean.
OK, so when she says they have an
interest in stopping it, what I hear is
they obviously have an interest in moving the
drugs to the U.S. and the Caribbean.
In the Caribbean, because, of course, the U
.K. has a number of territories in the
Caribbean.
They have an interest in helping to stop
the flow of drugs to the United States
and to elsewhere in the Caribbean.
Why do they have an interest in that?
This is not explained.
Why do they have an interest in stopping
it?
Obviously, she says.
I don't know.
Is that so obvious?
I don't think so.
It's not obvious to me.
It's not obvious to me either.
The flow of drugs to the United States
and to elsewhere in the Caribbean.
And so they would often share intelligence, given
the intelligence assets that they have down there,
with the U.S. to help the U
.S. Coast Guard interdict and arrest drug smugglers
and also to seize all of the narcotics
on board.
But that changed when the U.S. military
started actually blowing up these boats, using lethal
force against these vessels.
The U.K. was deeply uncomfortable with that,
felt that it violated international law.
And for that reason, it suspended that intelligence
sharing with the U.S. just over a
month ago, we're told, because it did not
want its intelligence and its information being used
by the U.S. military to carry out
these kinds of lethal attacks.
This is this is so incredible.
Yeah, we don't want to use intelligence that
gets people killed.
What?
Would you kill people over the entire world?
We've done nothing but kill civilians and people
everywhere with intelligence.
But now?
Oh, no.
Oh, we can't kill these guys.
By the way, when she says, you know,
obviously they want to grab the drugs.
Yeah, of course.
Because once the officials have the drugs, it's
much easier to distribute.
I mean, you really have to think of
it in these terms.
And we've talked about the drug trade for
since the beginning of this show.
I mean, do you remember when HSBC got
fined because they were laundering all the Mexican
cartel drug money into the U.S.? All
of it?
Oh, I mean, hundreds and hundreds of millions.
Yeah, right through their banks.
Yeah, right through the banks.
Hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in
cash went in on the Mexican side.
And what was popped out on the other
side?
And then CNN gets really creative.
Now, this comes amid a lot of skepticism.
I mean, broadly from legal experts, as well
as now we're seeing from the international community
about the legality of this U.S. military
campaign.
Legality?
We have reported previously that the U.S.
Southern Command commander offered to resign last month
because he had been raising questions about the
legality of these strikes.
Bullshit.
And he is set to retire early next
month.
We got the inside track on that.
The guy just retired early.
He was just tired.
At no point did he say, this is
an outrage.
We're killing civilians.
I want out.
It just didn't happen.
One year into his tenure as the Southern
Command chief.
And so there have been a lot of
questions here about whether the U.S. military
campaign is legal.
It's not legal.
We're actually seeing that play out in practice
with the U.K. saying we don't believe
that these strikes are in keeping with international
law.
We believe that they are illegal.
And we don't want to be complicit in
them.
That is really the key here.
They don't want their information being used to
target individuals on vessels that are then going
to be killed who are in the U
.K. These are our employees.
Stop killing them.
Of course, the U.S. has argued that
they are enemy combatants, and they don't want
that to be on their hands.
And so now we are seeing the suspension
of intelligence sharing.
Unclear how long that's actually going to last.
But there's a lot of ambivalence here about
the U.S. military's operations, both in the
Caribbean and increasingly in the eastern Pacific.
So why don't we listen to the BBC
and see how the BBC positioned this.
Now there are reports that Britain has stopped
sharing intelligence with the U.S. in the
Caribbean.
Our State Department correspondent Tom Bateman is at
the G7 meeting in Canada from where he
spoke to Justin Webb.
I mean, my sense from the Americans is
that I think this is happening.
You won't get anyone to confirm it on
the record because this is about intelligence sharing.
But it seems that, you know, as the
reports suggest, that the U.K. has declined
to share certain limited amounts of intelligence with
the Americans when it comes to something they
were doing in the Caribbean, which was to
pass on details of suspected drug smuggling boats
to a task force in Florida.
And it appears to be the case that
that is not now happening.
And the concern, I think, on the British
side, according to the reporting, is that there
is a concern this would be complicit in
potentially illegal activity, as in the American strikes
on alleged drug smuggling boats.
And you will hear people say, well, the
Brits actually, you know, don't contribute necessarily a
huge amount there because the Americans are the
dominant sort of military force there.
But Britain does have naval assets there.
And there is clearly some value to the
intelligence in that region.
I have never heard anything like this.
I have never heard.
There's never that I can recall been a
report.
We're not sharing intelligence because, you know, you
might be killing people.
What?
This is so clear to me.
There's a second part to this.
Give us a sense of the scale of
it.
We know that Donald Trump has been attacking
these boats and we know that his
administration
has defended the attacks on them.
What is actually happening and what are they
intending to do?
Well, what they've done so far is they've
blown up at least 19 of these small
boats, killing more than 70 people.
The Trump administration says that these are, in
their words, narco terrorists, that they're people that
are delivering, you know, illegal drugs.
Drugs to America that are killing in each
boat.
They say 25,000 people will be killed
by the drugs on each boat.
Although those numbers simply don't stack up at
all.
If you look at the numbers that die
from fentanyl overdoses each year, for example.
And their view is very strongly.
Here they're very cavalier.
It's like it's not that many people.
What's your problem?
I mean, we can't kill 70 drug runners.
We've got to stop Intel sharing.
But 25,000, those numbers don't stack up.
Well, what he's doing is he's extrapolating that,
say, approximately 20 boats that were blown up.
And each one would be 25,000 people
times 20.
It's more than the annual death toll, just
mathematically.
But it's like, OK, this is another Trump
lie, I guess.
Although those numbers simply don't stack up at
all.
If you look at the numbers that die
from fentanyl overdoses each year, for example.
And their view is very strongly that this
is a war on America by Latin American
drugs cartels.
And that it then therefore justifies the extension
of terrorism designations.
And effectively the use of the laws of
arms conflict against drug smugglers.
The counter argument, and we've heard this from
a lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Is that this is both in breach of
American and international law.
Because this is a criminal enterprise that should
be dealt with as it was before through
law enforcement.
OK.
All right.
So all of a sudden now the BBC.
Good.
So I'm going to reach back to the
end of the last show.
Because there's a couple of things that happened
with this report that came out.
And the report, you can call it a
whistleblower, I guess.
But it was really someone, this guy, what's
his name?
His name evades me at the moment.
He was on the editorial board for the
BBC.
And he had written several times to the
muckety muck saying, hey, you know, there's a
lot wrong.
You know, it's the Telegraph revealed all this.
What is the guy's name here?
Prescott.
There you go.
He was an independent advisor to the BBC's
editorial guidelines and standards board.
And he highlighted in a very lengthy memo,
Lincoln show notes, very lengthy.
A number of issues with the BBC's reporting.
And we have to know that we have
to recall that the BBC is a worldwide
news organization.
They got BBC America, which it is quite
big.
And a lot of other organizations look to
the BBC, will refer to the BBC as
an authority.
They're seen by the British as, you know,
the highest of high authority.
Forget, you know, Savile and all the other
pedophiles they found inside the BBC.
OK, we'll just shove that to the side.
You know, they pay a specific.
Why not?
They pay an annual fee.
It's a license fee.
And that was done today.
They the British public.
Yes.
Specifically, I think you have to pay a
license fee in England to watch TV.
Yes.
And that was done specifically so that it
was not tied to taxes.
So that what could, of course, what happened
here is, oh, we defunded NPR and PBS.
We didn't really, but just one percent by
their own admission.
But they didn't want it ever to become
political.
So this is the end the BBC World
Service.
I mean, this is a very, very large
organization.
A lot of news organizations look to the
BBC and BBC has a partnership they entered
into in 2021 with CBS News.
So there's news sharing, which is incredibly dangerous
when you think about it.
I don't know what Barry Weiss will do
about it.
Nothing.
Probably not.
So I'm just going to replay this.
I've tightened it up a little bit.
This is the Donald Trump, January 6 edit.
And then there's a couple of other things
need to highlight about this very, very highbrow
BBC reporting outfits.
Well, it's the biggest story in town.
It turns out American President Donald Trump was
onto something.
Where are you from?
BBC.
Here's another beauty.
It's a good line.
Impartial, free and fair.
Well, that criticism of the BBC and John
Sopel, he was talking to there, apparently was
well-founded because the so-called impartial and
accurate public service broadcaster is nothing but.
Because tonight, the BBC is facing serious questions
over its credibility after the Daily Telegraph exposed
a panorama segment that heavily doctored a speech
by the American president in 2021, hours before
the infamous January the 6th Capitol riot.
As you're about to hear, the corporation spliced
together two quotes one hour apart to make
it seem like he encouraged an insurrection.
They played the following clip.
We're going to walk down to the Capitol
and I'll be there with you.
And we fight.
We fight like hell.
But Trump didn't, in fact, say this at
all.
The BBC spliced together two clips that took
place 54 minutes apart.
So let's go through it again.
We're going to walk down.
Now, see that between Capitol and and that's
a cut.
Here's what Trump actually said.
We're going to walk down to the Capitol.
And we're going to cheer on our brave
senators and congressmen and women.
It's different.
It wasn't until nearly an hour later that
he then said the second part of the
BBC's version.
We're going to walk down to the Capitol.
And we fight.
We fight like hell.
That is damning.
So the really interesting part of this is
that this panorama segment aired on November 2nd
worldwide, just days before the election.
The 2024 election.
The 2024 election clearly meant to sway opinion.
There's just no no other way you can
look at it.
Right.
Now, if we continue with this telegraph reveal,
the dossier, there's a lot of other things
that the BBC has been reporting on falsely,
knowingly falsely.
In April and June 2024, the BBC published
two stories about the discovery of mass graves
at Al Nasser and Al Shifa hospitals.
You remember this story, Gaza, according to the
internal BBC dossier.
The article strongly implied that Israeli forces had
buried bodies at both sites prior to withdrawing
from the area.
The articles also mentioned alleged evidence of war
crimes, including bodies found with their hands tied
and gunshot wounds to their heads.
But the BBC's own editorial standards committee was
told that this narrative was wrong.
The memo says that the most likely explanation
is that the mass graves were dug by
Palestinians themselves, and the people buried there had
died or been killed prior to the arrival
of the Israeli ground forces.
So the BBC made a mistake.
Well, perhaps.
But the committee argues that the broadcaster knew
that Palestinians were burying their dead at these
sites before the Israeli raids.
Whatever your personal views may be on the
actions of Israel in Gaza, implying a country
committed war crimes when there is evidence to
the contrary has serious ramifications, not least because
it could erode the credibility of genuine war
crime claims at a later date.
The very long Prescott memo also goes into
the the children death count, goes into the
they're starving them.
And the BBC actually would alter their reporting
on their website.
So I was like, well, the malnutrition and
then they would take out malnutrition a week
later, a week later, because it turned out
that they had genetic issues.
The BBC are just full of propagandistic liars.
And it's not always by lying in your
face.
It's, of course, also often by omission.
This internal BBC memo accuses the broadcaster of
censoring its stories about the trans debate in
it.
One of the BBC's own independent advisers repeatedly
warns that the broadcaster is exhibiting serious and
systemic problems.
But in the case of the trans issue,
it's not just how the content is reported
or edited or framed.
Instead, it's what audiences don't see that reveals
the one sided nature of their coverage.
Now, this dossier describes in damning terms allegations
that the BBC's specialist LGBTQ desk had been,
quote, captured by a small group of people
promoting the Stonewall view of the debate and
keeping other perspectives off air.
The way the BBC works is that different
news programmes have to share a pool of
reporters rather than having their own dedicated reporters,
which means that for stories about LGBTQ issues,
they have to use reporters from the LGBTQ
desk.
Crucially, though, the report claims that those reporters
refuse to cover any stories that raise what
are called difficult questions about the trans debate.
The dossier goes as far as to allege
that the BBC shares a constant drip feed
of one sided stories that celebrate the trans
experience without adequate balance or objectivity.
What?
Gambling?
Of course, this is the danger of a
desk.
How many times have we laughed about we're
going to peak now at the climate desk?
Well, of course, you have to use the
climate desk to get your climate information and
you get lies.
Now, the timing of all of this is
what was interesting to me the most.
Why now?
And I think it is part of a
counterattack against the North Sea nexus.
So we see now we're taking out their
drug money.
The Telegraph, which is the paper who do
videos, apparently the podcasts who reported all of
this.
They've been in some very serious trouble.
They, in fact, went into receivership in 2023
when Lloyd's Bank placed the parent company into
receivership over unpaid debts exceeding one billion pounds.
In May of 2025, Redbird Capital Partners, which
is a private equity firm, announced a 500
million pound deal to acquire full control with
international media investments of Abu Dhabi to take
a minority stake.
That didn't go anywhere because, hey, we can't
have a bunch of Abu Dhabi's running the
show.
However, just in this month of November, Redbird
secured funding from Apollo Global Management.
To acquire the Telegraph, who is Apollo Global
Management?
Well, this isn't we've talked about this outfit.
This is the I think one of the
directors had to step down.
Remember the Leon Black?
Yeah, he got kicked out of there for
some some nefarious activity, but he was set
up for some.
I'm sure he was set up.
But his co-founder, Mark Rowan, he still
runs the show.
And he's a friend of Trump.
He and his wife donated a million dollars
to Trump's 2020 presidential campaign.
They helped finance Trump's casino ventures back in
the day.
He was actually up for treasury secretary before
Scott Besson came in.
So to me, this sounds like an obvious
hit on the North Sea Nexus by Trump.
He's going after him because.
Well, I should mention one of our producers
is a Telegraph columnist.
That's Andrew Orlowski.
Have you spoken to him?
I recently I did.
We had a back and forth with him
because he's come up with he's got he's
a negative type of guy.
Yes.
And he's got a bunch of nasty stuff
to say about AI.
Yes.
Well, he's my friend.
Well, he's our friend.
He's the show's friend.
And I will I will probably reiterate some
of these things eventually.
Good.
So I came across an interview with Liz
Trust.
And Liz Trust was prime minister of the
U.K. for what, six weeks?
A couple of minutes.
She was in and out and she's very
open about what's really going on in the
U.K. and who's really running the show,
the deep state of the U.K. Well,
let's talk about the states or more specifically,
the deep states.
Could you stop the Bank of England?
Yes.
Let me just stop.
And throw a comment in.
Sure.
Now, personally.
I don't think the deep state.
Is a deep state when it's the monarchy,
which is the most upfront deep state you
can imagine.
I agree.
It's not a deep state because it's not
hiding.
No, it's the surface state.
Yeah.
But I said deep state because the interviewer
says deep state.
That's why I wanted to interrupt because it's
ludicrous to me that you'd call the monarchy
the deep state.
Well, also know that if you look at
the board of the boards of the BBC,
who's on it?
Lord such and such, sir.
You know, these are all people who are,
you know, receive knighthoods, you know, have peerage.
I mean, this is the the extended monarchy,
which, of course, initially got all of its
money from the East India Company, the West
India Company and the taxpayers and the taxpayers.
And they're still mad about America.
They really wanted it to be part of
their empire.
And we broke away from, of course, it
was initially.
Yeah.
OK.
The pilgrims came over and they ran away
because of religious issues.
And they wanted to make this into a
big Christian land.
And they didn't want the head, the king
being the head of the church.
But it was still Britain.
It was still the British tobacco company.
I mean, that's how it started.
But they always saw us as one of
their colonies.
And they really never gotten over the fact
that, you know, we're not a part of
the finger.
We basically gave them the finger.
Well, let's talk about the state or more
specifically, the deep states.
You say the Bank of England sabotaged you.
The Treasury.
Hold on a second.
I didn't hear that part.
So the Bank of England is the deep
state, too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, probably.
But how is that deep state?
This is up front.
This is face a face forward.
We need a better term.
I'm in total agreement.
But it's the Bank of England.
Of course it is.
You know, and you can only imagine who
runs all that.
Tell me, tell our viewers and listeners about
this deep state and the people who really
are controlling our governments.
I think it's important for people to understand
because people think the prime minister is all
powerful or the chancellor is all powerful.
And they can go into government and they
can just pull the levers and things will
happen.
But actually, the government is controlled by the
permanent bureaucracy, by the civil service.
It's them who hire and fire the people
that work in the government.
They control the budgets of each government department.
They make the decisions about how policies are
implemented.
So even if a policy has been signed
off by a minister, it's a civil servant
who says whether it's legal.
It's a civil servant who implements it.
It's a civil servant who signs off the
budget for it.
And that gives those people a lot of
power.
Now, the Bank of England governor has what
I would describe as unaccountable power.
He's appointed for eight years.
He can pretty much only be sacked for
gross negligence.
So he is able to make decisions about
the economy independent of the elected government that
have massive implications for people's lives.
So what has happened and it's got particularly
bad in the last 30 years since Tony
Blair got into office, is lots of power
that used to sit in the hands of
elected people now sits in the hands of
the unelected.
This whole interview gave me a different view
of Liz Truss because, you know, I really
thought and she just like a spot on
your shirt who was, you know, we wiped
her away and she was gone.
She kind of opened up here about the
money, migration, all of it.
They are making decisions about monetary policy.
So what interest rates are, what, how much
money the Bank of England prints.
That's a decision the Bank of England essentially
makes.
They're making decisions about fiscal policy.
So if you look at the budget coming
up, you'll hear a lot about the Office
of Budget Responsibility, the OBR.
They're the people that essentially set the tram
lines, which the chancellor has to operate in.
And the same is true, by the way,
for things like migration.
You know, there's an independent government legal department
that decides what's legal and what's illegal.
They are the people who are saying, sorry,
but you've got to put these migrants up
at four star hotels.
So what I'm saying is that this bureaucratic
apparatus is there.
It is essentially driving the decision making of
government and ministers pretty much have to go
along with it.
So when she talks about the Bank of
England, I hear the city of London, which
is just like D.C. It's its own
city, has its own fire department, its own
police force.
They're their own little entity.
Yeah, they're totally alien, totally separate.
And they've had a lot of power over
our interest rates.
Of course, we cleared all that up going
from LIBOR to SOFIA.
And this is her final clip.
She really keeps talking about them as they
and they must be them.
These are people, broadly speaking, the senior people
in the treasury, the senior people of the
Bank of England.
They believe in net zero.
They believe in mass migration.
They believe in Keynesian economics.
They believe in high tax and high spend.
They were responsible for printing vast amounts of
money after the financial crisis during COVID.
It inflated asset prices and made it very
difficult for young people to get on in
life.
So they have a worldview.
They're not neutral technocrats.
They have a worldview.
And we can see this worldview emerge.
When she says worldview, I hear globalist.
I think that's what she means by that.
From time to time.
So Bailey has recently criticized Brexit.
You know, he has promoted net zero.
Mark Carney, who is the ultimate version of
these people, you know, made lots of money
of the whole climate change agenda.
What Donald Trump would call the climate change
scam.
He then went on to be prime minister
of Canada and is busy ruining Canada's economy
at the moment.
These people are not neutral experts.
They are people with an agenda who have
huge amounts of unelected power.
So I don't know if Liz Truss really
sees all the way through what Britain has
been doing throughout history.
But there's a guy who's getting a lot
of traction right now on different podcasts, including
my favorite guns, goats, gold, gold, goats and
guns.
Our buddy Tom Longo.
This guy's name is Richard Poe.
And in January of this year, he released
his book.
Here's a new one coming out in a
couple of weeks.
His book is How the British Invented Communism
and Blamed the Jews.
Which is a really, really good book.
And he goes through this entire history.
Wow.
That's a great title.
It's fantastic.
How they how they started the Bolshevik.
The Brits sparked the Bolshevik Revolution, blamed it
on the Jews.
How Churchill was writing about this in the
20s.
And it was, in fact, Churchill who inspired
Hitler to for a lot of what he
wrote in Mein Kampf.
And he has he has a new book
coming out titled How the British Kill Our
Presidents, which I'm excited to read.
Particularly Lincoln is where he starts.
So he was on the.
You know, I like the Lincoln theory.
I've always had this belief that it was
either the British or the French that that
were behind the assassination of Lincoln.
But but thinking it's the British, which I
never considered, makes a lot of sense considering
it was an actor.
Yeah.
With a British background.
Yes, an actor.
Of course.
A stage actor, which are typically, you know,
that's British that killed him.
So it makes some sense.
Yes.
Now I have to read this guy.
Why don't you read it and summarize.
OK, I'll just prop it into chat GPT
and I'll give you a summary with nice
little icons next to every chapter.
So so this is a piece from this
interview.
And I suggest everyone listen to this guy.
He's all over the place.
But the the gold gold goats and guns
podcast had him on.
And this is where he now is going
to the British and the French Revolution.
But first, he sets up this concept and
which I think is brilliant because it feels
so old yet so current how the British
invented the whole idea of using NGOs.
It's very clear that the British had set
up a massive infrastructure of what we now
called what we would now call them NGOs
of supposedly independent groups, which had been created
by citizens and were not supposedly run by
the government.
But these were groups which had such names
as the London Revolution Society, the London Correspondence
Society.
And this is what they did with the
French French Revolution, with these NGOs, the French
liberals, the ones who got the French intellectuals
who got behind the revolution.
They worship these British reformers, these these English
groups that were pushing for Republican revolution all
over the world.
And the French naively just adopted this British
program and really kind of worship to these
people.
And to the point where the British, the
French started in emulation of these British groups,
the French started their own parallel groups with
similar names.
There was a revolutionary society in Paris that
they created, and then they created these Jacobin
clubs, they called them.
The British did the same thing to the
French that they later did to Russia.
They recruited all the liberals.
They used the liberals to give them an
end, to give their agents and their operatives
an end into the French government, into the
French elite.
And then they betrayed the French people by
giving them an extremely illiberal government and a
bloodbath.
It sounds so believable.
Just I love it.
And of course, it does.
It sounds really believable.
It explains a lot.
And same goes for secret societies.
These 1848 revolutions were personally masterminded by Lord
Palmerston.
He was really setting all the policy, the
foreign policy, and he was running this tremendous
spy network all over Europe and also America.
The cover for his spy network was a
network of sometimes called secret societies.
All right.
And so here's this final clip where Luongo
also kind of latches on to.
Hold on a second.
The first one is called Young Italy was
formed by an Italian revolutionary named Giuseppe Mazzini,
who was a British agent.
And he started Young Italy, which was supposed
to organize revolution in Italy and moving towards
the unification of Italy, which was a British
goal.
They wanted to unify Italy to be a
counterweight against the influence of France and Austria.
And after Young Italy, Mazzini then founded Young
Europe and then started creating spinoff groups in
every country.
Young France, Young Germany, Young Poland.
There was a Young England and there was
a Young America.
And I show in my book that it
was from this Young America branch of the
Mazzini network that the whole conspiracy to cause
the Civil War, to cause the secession and
then ultimately to kill Lincoln all came out
of this Young America group.
I love it.
I love it.
It's good stuff.
It makes so much sense.
And, you know, it's the same system we
see today.
We've got NGOs everywhere.
Now, a lot of that's been cleaned up
because the funding got cut off.
We also, you know, the secret societies, there's
still the Pilgrim Society out there.
You know, you got to wonder.
Tucker Carlson.
Well, you know, I've been trying to get
confirmation on that.
I can't.
There's been a lot of accusations and a
lot it's, you know, there's lots of ex
posts on it.
But the Pilgrim Society is kind of the
same idea.
One of those secret societies.
And the whole idea is to move the
British agenda forward of global domination.
I even wonder about Elon sometimes.
You know, there was the British always had
this idea of let's create a super state
of all the English speaking nations.
And I think Elon floated that a while
back ago.
And just out of the blue, he's like,
hey, should we make just like one big
state of everyone who speaks English?
Elon is a suspect.
But so the bottom line is it doesn't
matter whether it's podcasts, whether it's the BBC,
you really can't trust any of it.
And you shouldn't trust us either.
Although I would say we'd be really happy
if we got some secret society NGO money.
That's just not in the cards.
But there's also we place so much importance
on people as experts.
And this is where the.
Yeah, that's where.
Well, I discovered this, I think, about 10
years ago on the show.
I mentioned this.
I went to an event head by Edelman
and Edelman PR.
Yes.
Edelman PR, the big boys.
And they gave a long speech about trustworthiness
and voices of trust.
And I watched the whole thing and it
was a live presentation and they had a
slideshow.
And it all turned out to be that
the most trusted voices come from NGOs.
There it is.
And I'm sure that they said that for
a reason.
Yeah, you can trust these guys.
And so that's where you have a lot
of NGOs representing or various organizations.
And they could go to so and so
from such and such society says this.
And here he is.
Yes.
And he has blurts out something.
There was.
Oh, OK.
Well, it's like you pointed out one time,
the the phony baloney surveys and and some
of the research done, paid for by the
guy who wants to survey to a certain
way.
You keep paying money until somebody does it
right.
Yes.
So then we have and I'm just pointing
this out as a public service to our
listeners.
You have the Gelman amnesia effect, which needs
to be brought up from time to time.
And this is because I saw Brett Weinstein
on the Joe Rogan podcast.
I didn't actually see the podcast.
I saw the clips everywhere.
And the clips would say, like, expert says,
you know, COVID was a hoax.
OK, fine.
Whatever expert says, you know, and like expert,
expert.
And yeah, sure.
Why?
And I like Brett Weinstein.
I've never met him, but, you know, he
seems like a nice enough guy.
I love the podcast that he does with
Heather because just because of how Heather talks.
And to prove the Gelman amnesia effect, which
you always need to see it this way,
if if you are reading a newspaper and
an article shows up of something you are
absolutely an expert in and everyone's an expert
in something and be like, huh, that's not
entirely right or they got that wrong or
boy, this is a load of crap.
I have that often with aviation stuff and,
you know, other things.
You should not believe the story next to
it.
That's the amnesia like, oh, but this this
has got to be true if I'm reading
it over here.
So just and this is not to pick
on Brett and Heather.
Yeah, let me read you the overview definition
of Gelman is two words.
Yeah.
The Gelman amnesia effect is a cognitive bias
where individuals readily recognize inaccuracy in media reports
on subjects they know well, but then forget
this unreliability and accept as true other articles
in the same publication on topics in which
they're not experts.
Exactly.
And it was coined by Michael Crichton.
Who they killed.
Yeah.
Well, somebody died prematurely.
He died early.
He died too young.
Sudden death.
So here they are.
They're on Episode 300.
This is just yesterday.
And Tina sent me this link and I
normally would not bring it up.
But in this in this context is great
because I am one expert in something very
specific.
I'm an expert in the origins of podcasting.
Would you say I would think I would
agree with that.
So when I hear these two experts, you
know, speaking this way, I have to question
everything else that they talk about.
Again, not picking on them.
I like them.
I like the show.
I love how Heather talks.
And I just I actually just wanted to.
It turns out you'll hear it in a
moment.
She used to be on American Life.
To share not not my screen here, but
I don't share my don't share their notes
that I wrote in advance of our first
live stream.
So I should I should say this is
not this is not the sort of thing
that I tend to.
In fact, at the point that podcast started
being a thing and thing and I don't
even know when it would have been maybe
early teens, early teens.
How about 2003?
Right.
You know, at some point.
I mean, there had been there had been
things that weren't called podcasts for for a
long time.
I remember actually recording episodes of this American
life in the 90s and taking them with
me to Madagascar so that I could listen
to them.
So, oh, yes, I remember.
I remember recording this American life on a
cassette and taking it to Madagascar, really the
early form of podcasting.
So it's really on all that.
And it just came around in the teens,
sort of, you know, long form conversations in
that way.
What did she have to do?
What what does the price of bread have
to do with her trip to Madagascar?
I was expecting to say I was on
my way to Doha, but I went to
a meeting with it with the she went
to Madagascar first.
Yes.
That was called a radio show that we
recorded on a cassette.
But yes, this is predates podcasting from what
was it?
The teens.
Yes.
For a long time.
I remember actually recording episodes of this American
life in the 90s and taking them with
me to Madagascar so that I could listen
to them.
So sort of, you know, long form conversations
in that case, you know, highly scripted and
beautifully put together.
That's not a podcast.
What's going on for a long time?
But I remember you making a joking comment
to me at some point in the early
teens about how that's when the podcasting started.
Early teens podcasting had to be last on
my list of things I would ever want
to do since I prefer not to be
in front of a camera and and just
kind of riffing.
OK, let me just give you the abbreviated
version of history.
When I convinced Dave Weiner in 2000 to
put the enclosure tag into RSS and it
actually worked for several years.
But there was nothing until I saw the
first iPod and then created a script that
basically put a recorded MP3 file onto your
iPod and instead of a song and the
album was the show title instead of the
album title.
And that was the birth of podcasting in
2003.
And it wasn't until probably about two years
later that a guy came along and said,
hey, why don't we call it podcasting?
And it wasn't that idiot from from the
newspaper.
But anyway, he says he did.
But it doesn't matter.
These are the experts and they're about to
tell you the origins of podcasting.
So I don't know what the date was.
It's possible we could look it up.
But I believe the initial podcast is Adam
Curry, the podfather and initial podcast in the
universe.
Yeah, I think so.
So this is interesting.
So, first of all, he's.
He skipped over the entire creation of the
whole mechanism because it's it wasn't just a
recording on the Internet.
You know, the RSS feed was key to
this.
So, yeah, but that's a detail they're never
going to get.
Well, but it's incorrect.
And he's and and and what I like
about it is that somehow somewhere we have
indoctrinated Heather's mind.
That the No Agenda show is the best
podcast in the universe because she says, oh,
yeah, that was the first podcast in the
universe.
We have infected her.
We are inside her brain somewhere.
Possibly because somehow it got in there and
got scrambled because obviously this is going back
to the gel man amnesia concept.
Yeah, this is what how it works.
You get this information.
It's a mishmash.
Yep.
The one of the things I have to
say to people that listen to our show
is that we are susceptible to this, too.
Absolutely.
But we have nothing but feedback.
We get tons of it.
We look at it all.
We've sifted and we we we change.
We we make corrections and we try to
we try to reflect reality as best we
can.
I think better than anybody else, to be
honest about it.
And that's because we have thousands and thousands
of producers, producers.
And we have them online live as we
speak.
Yep.
That that that allowed Adam to sound funny
because he steals the material from the chat
room.
I do.
It's not stealing.
It's given to me freely.
Value for value.
He has writers on the fly.
He's got writers in his ear.
By the way, I did a I did
a radio show in Canada once.
And it was I forgot the name.
It was very famous at the time.
And and the entire the hosts of this
show, of this radio show, maybe it wasn't
televised, but it was I don't believe.
But the host had had IFBs in and
as they spoke spontaneously, they had producers in
the back telling him what to say and
what to ask.
Yes.
Here's your line for this.
Which is what you mock all the time
on the show, which is a good it's
a funny bit.
It's hilarious.
Nobody else seems to be able to do
this.
This gag.
Yes.
But this actually does happen.
Did you have it to an extreme?
They're looking stuff up and making the guy
sound smart.
Yeah.
Well, Heather doesn't have that.
But I am.
Obviously, I think it was the podfather.
So I don't know what the date was.
It's possible we could look it up.
I believe the initial podcast is Adam Curry.
I am the initial podcast.
Just so you know.
I'm the initial.
You you just stand.
Yeah.
You are the podcast.
You are a podcast.
Yes.
He's the initial podcast.
The podfather.
Yes.
And the initial podcast in the universe.
Yeah.
Versus the initial.
Wait.
She said the initial podcast in the universe.
Yes.
The initial.
Yeah.
Nice botch there.
Yeah.
But we're in her head.
We're in her head.
Somebody's in her head.
Yeah.
The initial podcast in the universe.
Yeah.
I think so.
I think it's at least the first place
that it was called that.
Obviously, you're right.
There are precursors.
No.
No, no.
See, this is my point.
This is a freewheeling way that, you know,
Beatles movies are sort of precursors to modern
music videos.
Oh, I was I'm the I'm the I'm
the Beatles of podcasting.
This is what I like.
And this is where it gets crazy.
It was called that.
Obviously, you're right.
There are precursors in the same way that,
you know, Beatles movies are sort of precursors
to modern music videos.
If modern music videos are even still a
thing.
And this is where I'm living in her
head.
Rent free.
Yeah.
He used to be on MTV.
MTV is either about to or has gone
off the air.
Yeah.
He was on MTV.
Don't you remember?
Apparently, nobody wanted their MTV.
I ran into that recently.
Yeah.
And like with a whimper.
Apparently, no one has noticed.
Yes.
No one has.
Well, it makes sense.
People have moved on.
But it's random.
You like this podcast, you said.
I like them.
I'm not so sure.
They're just rambling about meaningless drivel.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Anyway, let me play this last bit.
What do we get from the nexus to
these two?
Yeah, I don't know.
It was I had to take a departure.
Transition.
You caught me off guard.
I'm completely flat footed.
How you pulled that out.
I'll take you back and I'll finish it
up.
I'm going to wind up here with the
end of the North Sea Nexus.
We go back to the British controlling everything.
You talk about the revolutions of 1848.
I don't like to think it was the
Arab Spring under Obama.
It's the same thing.
And we know the Muslim Brotherhood is a
city of London creation.
And we know all these things.
And they're running the same playbook here in
the United States right now.
Exactly.
Exactly.
There you go.
More to come.
Just stay tuned.
More to come.
The North Sea Nexus Report with Adam Currie.
What about me?
Why are you left out of the jingle?
Well, because.
There's another example, ladies and gentlemen.
I didn't create the jingle.
Was it Judith?
What's her name?
Judith?
Who wrote earlier?
Heather?
No, it wasn't Heather.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Julie.
Julie.
Good old Julie.
Julie.
Julie, keep noticing.
By the way, as a correction, because we
do get corrected and we attempt to make
these corrections, the news about the Farmers' Almanac
was wrong.
It appears that there were more than one
Farmers' Almanacs.
Didn't we mention this?
The old Farmers' Almanac.
No.
The Almanac.
The Farmers' Almanac.
No.
This came in after the show.
The OG original Farmers' Almanac has been in
print and continues strong after 234 years at
almanac.com.
The younger upstart only reached 208 years.
Fake news.
That's from Scott, who works for a publisher
that handles distribution.
I remember it because you talked about it
after the show because you got a note.
Yeah.
I brought it up on Horowitz's show.
Yeah.
Fake news.
Because he had the same story, and I
luckily had the old Farmers' Almanac anecdote in
tow.
Yes.
And so I got to drop it on
him, and then he, oh, okay, whatever.
Yes.
Yeah.
It was fake news.
Oh, geez.
Oh, okay.
Let's switch gears for a moment.
I'll try not to bore you.
The clips are short.
Oh, okay.
So what you've done, this is like, you
might not think this is funny.
You've set yourself up to fail.
No.
You'll like it.
You'll like this.
Because I know when I say COP 30,
you're like, yes, climate change.
So just to get a little update, because
there's some very interesting news here.
Al Gore presented at COP 30, and he
still has kind of a baby face.
Even though he's got to be, what is
he now, 75, 76?
I think he's about 89.
No.
Yeah.
No.
No.
Let's see.
How old is Al Gore?
I'll guess 78.
78 sounds right.
77.
Close.
All right.
So here he is.
Here's his pitch.
And here we are at COP 30, which
is kind of a full circle moment.
And, of course, the purpose is to deal
with the climate crisis.
And this thin blue shell of atmosphere surrounding
our planet is so thin, it's only 5
to 7 kilometers thick.
It's blue because that's where the oxygen is.
And we are using it as an open
sewer for 175 million tons of man-made
global warming pollution spewed into it every single
day.
It adds up.
It lingers there.
And the accumulated amount today will trap as
much extra heat as would be released by
750,000 first-generation atomic bombs exploding on
the Earth.
Not again.
Every 24 hours.
Well, now, this is why I brought this
up, because we have been tracking this.
The number of bombs that were simultaneously every
day.
In 2015, it was 400 Hiroshima bombs, if
you recall.
As would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima
-class atomic bombs.
400,000.
We just got the update.
It is 750,000.
But wait, that's the same number as 2024.
We're building up the amount of heat-trapping
capacity so much that today we trapped as
much extra heat as would be released by
750,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs.
So, it's stable.
We're leveling off.
So, this is good news.
I don't see why Al hasn't said this.
We have remained at 750,000 Hiroshima nuclear
bombs.
So, I found this to be encouraging.
That's your COP 30 update.
Also, Newsom was down there moaning about stuff.
Oh, he was moaning about all kinds of
stuff.
I know.
I know.
So, I'm thinking that the – because I
have – in the newsletter, I discussed the
idea that this whole shutdown was just a
scam to get these Democrats elected.
And Schumer did.
He was behind the whole thing.
He was behind the whole thing stopping.
But he's being condemned for what – because
he can't admit he did that because it
looks like a douchebag.
No, that would be bad.
That would be bad.
Yes.
So, he has to suffer.
But he knows the ropes.
He's not a – people think he's just
some dumb shit.
He's no.
This guy is not the head of the
Senate because he's a dummy.
And so, he knows the ropes.
He knows it will blow over and he
can put up with it.
And there's nobody waiting in the wings to
take his job as minority leader.
There's not one person anyone can name.
And the guys who could do it like
Dick Durbin are on his side and they're
behind doing these schemes.
So, nothing is going on there.
And so, I thought about this.
And I thought that there is a threat
in 2028 that AOC will run against him
when he's up for re-election.
And everyone keeps saying that, oh, she's going
to take his job because the progressives have
got a hold on the party and blah,
blah, blah.
Take his job.
So, I'm thinking – and I didn't discuss
this part in the newsletter, but I'm thinking
about it.
Yeah.
Is that he has to derail her because
he doesn't need the aggravation of getting unseated
by a dumb shit like her.
And so, he's – so, I think –
here's what – I think the scheme is
the following.
They're going to – the Republicans know they're
going to have nothing unless they can crash
the economy before the end of 2028, which
is doable.
But I don't think it can accomplish it
because Trump's pretty good at keeping things running.
They're going to have to put up a
weak sister candidate and hope they can crash
the economy after the next president, which will
probably be J.D. Benz.
Wait a minute.
Hold on a second.
Why do they want to crash the economy?
Because then they'll get votes.
If the Republicans are in power and the
economy goes – this is what happened to
George H.W. Bush when he was first
term as president.
He came in right after Reagan.
He should have been re-elected, but they
managed to crash the economy for just a
blip just before the election.
He had to increase taxes and they threw
– read my lips stuff and all the
rest of it because he said, read my
lips, no new taxes.
And then he had to raise taxes because
the economy was being tanked by the Democrats.
So, he raised taxes and they threw that
in his face.
And the guy couldn't – and then he,
of course, threw up in the lap of
the Japanese people.
That was fantastic.
Excuse me.
I got to throw up.
So, let me throw up in your lap.
And so, this was – somebody gave him
something.
I'm sure it was poison.
So, he had to throw up.
Oh, yeah.
And so, they set him up and got
rid of him.
And, you know, the guy was – he
was a sucker.
And so, they wanted – so, that's what
the Democrats like to do.
Oh, you said the Democrats like to crash
the economy.
Yeah.
Oh, I thought you said the Republicans.
No, no, no, the Democrats because that gets
them back in power.
Ah, okay.
Because that's the only way they can get
back in power.
Got it.
I got it.
And so, they're going to have to eat
it for if J.D. Vance or Rubio
becomes the next president.
And they know that they won't be able
to defeat anybody if Trump stays in office
and manages to get things on track.
So, they're going to have to run.
And this would be Schumer again.
They're going to have to run a loser
for – Oh, another Kamala.
A sacrificial lamb is going to have to
be at the top of the ticket, and
that is Newsom.
Who is this best – who do you
want to put in as vice president to
balance the ticket?
An East Coast person to balance the California
ticket?
A woman because you have to have a
woman.
You're a Democrat.
And you might as well go with, you
know, because Whitey here running for president.
You're going to put AOC next to him?
Yeah.
Newsom, AOC.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
No.
Wait, wait, wait.
This show has to end sometime.
I mean, if they're running on a ticket
in 2028, we have to continue.
It'll be too much fun.
You pass the election.
That's easy enough.
But the – Neither of us gets out
of this gig alive is what I've determined.
Well, died on the mic.
So they're going to – it'll be Newsom,
AOC ticket is a loser.
And it gets AOC out of the picture
for running against Schumer.
But Schumer's got to be tired at a
certain point.
How old is that guy?
I don't know.
You know, maybe he should retire, but he
doesn't seem interested.
He is currently – oh, 74.
Well, he's got some spunk left in him.
He can get to 80.
I mean, look at Pelosi.
She went – she's 83, 82, 84, something
like that.
And she's still in.
She's in.
I mean, she's not running again, she says,
but she – She's in the mix.
I think she said that a couple of
cycles ago too.
No, she – I think this is really
it.
She's really out.
Yeah, she broke her hip.
I think that did the trick.
That's painful.
So Schumer will orchestrate this.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Schumer orchestrates a Newsom, AOC ticket.
That's great.
That's great.
Do you have a clip to go with
this, or are you just throwing that out
there?
No, this is all speculation.
Nobody wants to give Schumer credit for anything.
He's like – he sidelined the guy, and
he acts like a doofus.
And, in fact, he's running the show.
He's one of those guys who does it
so slickly.
And, oh, I don't know, I'm just a
big dummy.
No, he's no dummy.
He's no dummy.
He's no dummy.
It's too bad that the shutdown ended because
it was just getting good in the media.
Listen to this nat pop I got.
This is from Reuters, and this is unbelievable
what they did.
They went out to find some SNAP benefits
recipients who, of course, are starving.
Eleven-year-old Cynthia Miller at the food
bank with his grandmother places his blame squarely
with the president.
Trump, why are you starving the kids?
I'm hungry, and we have to get buses
from the food bank.
This is a scripted kid.
That is the clip of the day right
there.
I thought you would say that.
Let's listen to that kid one more time.
Trump, why are you starving the kids?
I'm hungry, and we have to get buses
from the food bank.
Oh, man.
And, of course, we'll get – no, you
guys are horrible.
You're laughing about hungry people.
Oh, we're not going to get that much
flack.
That kid was scripted.
He's a phony.
That kid was a phony.
Now, there is something rather troubling, again, from
Reuters, you know, British outfits.
I'll take it for what it's worth, which
was also brought up by Representative Austin Smith
of Georgia.
I'll play the Reuters report first.
The funding bill being voted on includes a
clause that would let Republican senators sue for
half a million dollars for damages related to
the January 6 probe.
It would apply to eight lawmakers whose phone
records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation
into the 2021 Capitol riot.
Democrats are calling it a taxpayer-funded payout.
And it sure seems like it's a tax
-funded payout, which is – and this is,
like, a mandatory thing.
Here's Austin Smith, Republican of Georgia, talking about
it.
I was very excited about coming back to
Washington, D.C., to vote to open the
government back up.
And then when I saw what the Senate
did last night, I'll be honest, I had
a hard night.
And I've been struggling with what the right
vote is because of what the Senate did.
And I want to just tell you, because
I want the American citizens to be able
to read it.
You can start at page 217 of the
legislation, where it says requiring Senate notification for
disclosure of Senate data.
And there's a lot of with respect tos
and other things in the first pages.
But when you get over to page 223,
you'll see where they've created a private cause
of action specifically for them.
And it goes on, and it says that
cause of action – and this is on
page 224 – any senator whose Senate data
or the Senate data of whose Senate office
has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed, or disclosed
in violation of this section may bring a
civil action against the United States if the
violation was committed by an officer, employer, agent
of the United States, or of any federal
department or agency.
Relief.
If a senator prevails on a claim under
this section, the court shall – not may
– shall award for each instance of a
violation of this section the greater of –
not the lesser of – the greater of
statutory damages of $500,000 or the amount
of actual damages, reasonable attorney fees, cost of
litigation.
And it goes on from there.
And there's other language in here too that
indicates that each line would be an additional
payment.
And so most of us as members have
a campaign phone, a campaign email, a personal
phone, a personal email, and then a business
phone and a business email.
That's six violations the way they count them.
If they went for all of them.
Six.
Minimum of $500,000 apiece.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Well, Luna came on one of the shows
yesterday, and she voted for the bill, but
she also bitched about this.
She said because the House had a number
of people whose records were lifted also, and
also a bunch of organizations had their records
lifted illegally also, and none of them are
listed in the payout.
Right.
So if you're going to like steal from
the government coffers, you might at least –
can you pass it around a little bit?
So a lot of people are irked about
this.
No kidding.
It is irksome.
I agree.
Yeah, I don't like that at all.
I don't know who slipped that in.
It sounds like a Lindsey Graham thing.
It does.
By the way, I just got a note
that the Republicans will be doing a midterm
convention.
That's interesting.
Yeah, I think that's Trump's idea.
Of course it's Trump's idea.
That's show business, baby.
Yeah, because they note that during the conventions
– because everyone knows this.
I think people have known this since the
50s and 60s since television came around, that
they have one of these conventions, and everyone
gets to speak, and they make a big
fuss, and everyone gets all jacked up.
Wave our flags.
You end up with – the ratings for
the party go up.
Yeah, of course.
So the Democrats will have to follow suit.
Yeah, well, they're a little behind the ball.
They got to hurry up with organizing.
They may not – it may take them
a cycle to come up to speed.
Yeah, yep.
Let's see.
What else do we have?
Well, what do I have?
A little update on New York about Mamdani.
He's been announcing some of the people he's
going to bring into his administration.
You hear about this?
I know he's got a woman crew for
his transition team.
Yeah, that's – transition being the operative word.
That's window dressing.
I know he's begging for money.
Yeah, check this out.
Breaking news, Mayor-elector on Mamdani is making
his first major appointment, announcing Dean Fullian as
his first deputy mayor.
Fullian is a seasoned government veteran who previously
served as former Mayor Bill de Blasio's budget
director and later as first deputy mayor.
There's your team.
Mamdani also named Al Bisgard Church, his longtime
chief of staff at the State Assembly, to
that same role at City Hall.
In his announcement at Hunter College, Mr. Mamdani
said the appointments would help him build a
powerful and competent administration that delivers an affordable,
livable city for working people.
Mamdani takes office January 1st.
There you go.
The de Blasio team?
Yep.
Yep, the de Blasio team.
Well, it's better than nothing.
At least they got someone in there.
They're the worst.
They know how it works, at least.
That's kind of good.
Yeah, actually, they do need somebody that knows
how it works because he doesn't.
Yeah, obviously.
Hey, you know, we had the Department of
War guy over again on Tuesday night.
Remember I told you that we met some
new people and they are with the, he
works for, he was, you know, furloughed, of
course.
And he works for the Department of War
in the modern weapons department.
Yeah, yeah, you mentioned him on the show.
Yeah, so I'm like, so what are you
making?
Can you tell me anything?
What do you think?
What are they making?
Yeah, what do you think?
It has something to do with drones.
All drones.
All drones.
And so I threw out there, yeah, you
know, this stuff in Europe.
And I said, this is obviously a sales
job.
He just gives me a look.
He couldn't say anything.
No, of course not.
He's signed off on things he's not going
to tell you.
It's all drone, anti-drone.
I'm like, really?
I mean, can't one ICBM, you know, do
more damage?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but, you know, we're no
longer going to be, let me see if
I can get this right the way he
said it.
No longer will it be like two teams
in the field, you know, lobbying grenades and
shooting at each other.
He says it's all going to be urban
warfare.
With drones flying around the city.
Yeah, yeah.
Busting into windows and coming up and blowing
people's heads off.
Yeah, exactly.
I got this from a Dutch producer.
So it was a drone flying around Holland
and it crashed.
Well, it turns out it was just an
American drone that the Dutch military was flying
around.
Little rocket tube-like shaped drone with wings
and a propeller on the back.
Everyone's flying.
When did this happen?
When did war just become about drones other
than, I guess, all wars are going to
be fought in cities?
Urban warfare?
Really?
Is that the future?
Good reason not to live in a city,
by the way.
Yeah, is that the future?
I don't know.
That doesn't sound great to me.
Well, let's see.
If you took, like, for example, the city
of San Francisco, it's got a population just
under, it's around a million.
I think its lowest was 750 and it's
probably a million.
And you have all these office buildings and
you want to attack the city.
You take, and China is known to have,
like, a million drones.
You go and you drop, you fly over
or somehow, or you bring them over in
cargo containers.
Yeah, we saw that.
They come through the Port of Oakland.
And, you know, they're not radioactive and so
they go through.
And you release the Kraken.
And you open the doors and you send
them all off.
You send hundreds and hundreds of thousands.
Say you take 500,000 of them and
send them to San Francisco.
Or you open the crates in San Francisco
so they don't have to fly too far
because they run out of electricity.
And so they fly over there.
And they bust into all the windows in
the Bank of America building.
They just crash everything they can, bust up
the place, and have little explosions and blow
up everybody they can.
And they do a little swarm and a
little cool little show in the air and
then they fly off.
Actually, the whole of them go into there
and they form a visual thumbs-up sign
with the drones.
And they make it move up and down,
thumbs up, and then they go, you know,
crap out and fall all over the place.
Probably kill more people as they're coming down.
Oh, what a great future.
That's got to be it.
I mean, what else is there?
Well, I mean, that's it.
I mean, first of all, we're not going
to have any more war.
President Trump stopped all the wars, man.
Got one more to go.
Eight out of nine.
He's going for a full nine.
It's all going to happen.
But first, I need to thank you for
your courage.
And see you in the morning.
To you, the man who put the sea
in causes and candidates, say hello to my
friend on the other end, the one, the
only, Mr. John C.
Norris.
Good morning.
I'm Brandon Marshall.
I'm a seafoot on the ground, feet in
the air, subs in the water, and all
the names and nights out there.
Good morning to the trolls in the troll
room.
Let me count you.
Hold on.
There you go.
1583.
There's our trolls.
Welcome, trolls.
Thank you for being there.
We appreciate it.
We love you guys being here.
It's fantastic.
They're listening at noagendastream.com.
Someone sent me a note.
It says, hey, man, want to go to
noagendastream.com?
It says, join the troll room.
And friends of mine don't want to look
at that.
They're, like, afraid of it.
Like, well, then maybe you need new friends.
What?
Yeah, I know.
It says, join the troll room.
And then people are like, oh.
And they're scary, so scary.
There might be trolls there.
Oh, no.
That's troll.
There's trolls in them troll rooms.
We love those trolls.
They're there for a reason.
They're there to hang out with us.
But we don't want people that are afraid
of the troll room to be there.
No, of course not.
That makes no sense.
The trolls are there, and you can join
them at noagendastream.com or get one of
those modern podcast apps at podcastappsplural.com.
Many of them there are useful, and the
ones we like are the ones like Fountain
and Podverse and Podcast Guru and True Fans.
Anyone that gives you a live listen link
and a notification, that's the kind of stuff
you want, because then you just have this
in your pocket, and normally you listen to
your podcast whenever you feel like it.
But we have so many shows on No
Agenda Stream that go live, you'll get a
notification.
And if you can't listen live, no problem,
because when we publish the show, within 90
seconds, you will get a notification that the
show has been published.
Why wait around on your legacy podcast app?
It makes no sense.
Get one of those modern ones.
And support those developers, too, by upgrading for
their premium service, like $3 a month.
Help them out.
We have been running this show, Value for
Value, for over 18 years.
Tina and I were talking the other day
about friendship, and I said, it's quite unbelievable
that John and I have been together for
over 18 years.
And I said, and I know that if
it really came down to it, if something
was drastically wrong, I could call you and
you'd show up.
Probably.
Probably.
Probably would show up.
Yeah, you know, it depends.
What is the crisis?
It depends on the crisis.
If I had a stubbed toenail or something,
who cares?
Hey, you know, I got a birthday party.
Okay, good for you.
Straight up.
There it is.
That's how it works.
Well, we're going to go four more years
minimum.
We keep saying it, but it's true.
Four more years.
So as a part of this.
It's ludicrous.
We're at gun smoke level now.
I know.
Although it turns out I was looking at
the overnights.
I was looking at the trains.
The overnights.
And I'm looking at the streams, and it
turns out that the gun smoke show is
now showing up in the streams as a
rate.
It's like in the top 15 or something.
You know, this would not surprise me because
there is so much crap.
And here's the trick that the streamers are
doing.
This really made me mad.
So Amazon bought MGM Studios, which I think
was an interesting purchase.
You know, they get the content library, and
they get access.
You know, it's real into Hollywood.
Yeah, and they get the studio.
They get the studio, and so they created
House of David, which I'm pretty sure they
created that after the success of The Chosen.
And, you know, the third great awakening, the
season of reveal, the revival that I believe
we're in.
And it's all right.
Don't worry.
It will come to your door.
So House of David, which is, you know,
about King David, and it's really well produced,
high end, a lot of blood, a lot
of killing, kind of follows the story of
Samuel, and it's fun to watch.
So the first season, Dynamite.
Okay.
And, oh, here's the second season.
And I said, okay, let's watch the second
season.
And now, if you want to watch it,
you have to get a new subscription from
something called Wonder Life or something.
Oh, let me find out what this is
called.
What?
Yes.
Hey, wait a minute.
We're paying big dough for Prime.
By the way, for people out there that
don't know this, when Prime services first started,
it was $75 a month.
What is it now?
I'm sorry.
No, $75 a year, flat fee.
Yeah.
And they jack it up and jack it
up.
This is what Netflix is doing.
If you follow the markets, Netflix is up
outrageously high priced, and all the analysts are
going, well, you know, the one thing they
can always do to boost their earnings, they
could jack up the price.
You know, at some point, people are going
to say no.
Yeah, here it is.
So now it requires an additional fee on
top of the Prime membership for this Wonder
Life thing, whatever it is.
I'm trying to find out what it's actually
called.
So it's a new streaming service.
I'm like, well, okay, so they have the
first six episodes.
We'll watch all six real quick.
And then it's like, oh, well, the next
one is coming next Sunday, and then episode
eight will be the Sunday after that, which
traps you into your free tier of seven
days on this crazy streaming service I don't
even want.
It actually resisted watching for a bit.
You should just give up.
You should boycott.
Well, this shows I tried watching that show.
I can't watch.
It's unwatchable.
It's not for you.
It's not for heathens.
Definitely not.
You have to be saved.
This is not for you.
Oh, please.
Church is for sinners.
You're not a sinner?
No.
Okay.
All right.
You heard it here.
You heard it here first.
That's what the ladies like.
Pride before a great fall, my friend.
And there's no pride involved.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm staying home.
You know this.
So anyway, just your thoughts are sinful.
Just your thoughts.
And by the way, well, to you maybe.
By the way, there will be a meetup.
I will be out of the house on
the 15th of November.
This coming Saturday, as a matter of fact.
This coming Saturday.
That's right.
And I would hope that some of our
local listeners, and there's a bunch of them,
show up.
Because I didn't think they showed up very
well.
There was a mediocre presentation of people last
time we did the Mallard Club.
Which is, for people who haven't been to
the Mallard Club, it is fashioned after a
hunting lodge inside.
Yes.
With a bunch of heads and dead ducks
and things like that.
And please, I want all our producers to
go there and pray for John.
That's what I want.
You can pray for me.
I want you to go there and buy
me a beer.
Churches for sinners.
I think that's true.
That's probably a good statement.
Churches for sinners.
Yes.
Of course.
We're all sinners.
So one way you can help us is
by going to a meetup, by organizing a
meetup, bringing a tithe to your meetup to
support the show.
That's always very, very welcome.
Using an envelope?
Yes.
It's good to put an envelope with your
notes.
With a note.
So it doesn't get confused.
We try to do a lot of administration.
We really just throw cash around.
A lot of administration with this show.
Another way is by producing things for us.
We have lots of end of show slop
for you today.
Some good ones, actually.
Oh, no.
Today's dynamite.
Yeah.
We've got some really good ones.
They're not all AI, by the way.
Not all.
The one you like is definitely AI, and
I thought it was just phenomenal.
Those two I like.
I like the Stray Cats clone, and I
like the techno stuff.
You love the techno stuff.
I do.
Would you go to a concert by Tiesto?
No, never.
Oh, okay.
Because I could get you in.
I could get you up in the DJ
booth.
Yeah, I don't have any interest in that.
With your glow sticks.
I like techno to listen to when I'm
in an airplane because it puts me out.
Okay.
That's interesting.
Another way is by supporting us with artwork.
And we have, as we discussed earlier, noagendaartgenerator
.com, which is a way you can upload
your art.
And we still have original artists.
They're still lurking, and we still choose them
from time to time.
But Jeffrey Rhea, who typically comes in with
very orange, washed-out slop, did a pretty
good one.
And he created the No Agenda Kareem Dvorak
Farmer's Almanac.
And it was a decent image.
We both thought it stood out.
We both liked it.
Yeah, it stood out.
We like the monochrome sometimes and that worked
there because it had an old-fashioned quality.
Monochrome does that.
And he's overdue.
We both commented on this to each other.
He's overdue.
The guy does so much work.
Oh, it's so hard.
And you bitch and moan constantly about it.
I mean, I'm surprised that guy still submits.
And so he finally gave us this piece.
Excellent piece.
Of course.
Let me see.
Was there anything else?
I kind of like the, no, wait a
minute.
No, there wasn't much else, was there?
No, I mean, I did like the, Coach
Joe did another comic thing that I liked.
But again, it doesn't make any sense.
It's just pretty.
I like New Yorkistan.
It was also Jeffrey Rea.
He thought it was too simplistic, which it
probably was.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it still takes a good idea
no matter what you're trying to do.
I want to mention something here that is
probably going to be the way we think
about this.
JustAaron8 submitted a whole bunch of funny pieces
that use images of these little characters that
were in Despicable Me where the minions.
They probably are copywritten images that we can't
use without getting sued by Disney.
Yeah, so we're not going to do that.
So you have to be careful about the
imagery you use, even if it was the
AI that created it.
Somebody has bitched about AI creating minion imagery,
and they're going to get sued for it.
It's the people at the art systems.
So the final and our favorite way of
you supporting us with value for value to
keep us going, keep us going through the
2028 Schumer-induced Newsome AOC ticket.
Bernie's got to fit in there somehow, too.
Bernie, you know, Bernie's got something to do
with it.
He's a sucker.
He'll go along with it because he likes
to get AOC in there.
Yeah, he loves her.
This is an opportunity because, you know, somebody...
I love the Schwarzer girl.
She's great.
She's perfect.
I love her.
You need to work on that.
I'm working on it.
By the way, there is one thing worth
watching on Netflix, the Eddie Murphy documentary.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's really good.
Okay.
I will watch that.
Yeah.
I started watching The Diplomat again.
No, it wasn't...
This third season is not that good.
Yeah, but I have to say in terms
of comparing it to other shows, it's one
of the best paced.
Yeah.
It's like very slick in terms of quality
product.
But the thing is, so what?
In the olden days, when I was a
kid, they would produce 36 shows a season.
Yes.
Yes.
And then they take a couple of months
off for summer.
But now they produce 10 episodes, 8 episodes
a year.
It's like, you know, okay, you put a
lot of work into the 8 episodes and
so it's slick.
But, you know, it's cheating.
But that's about it.
There isn't much else left.
So these are our producers.
We thank everybody, $50 and above.
And we'll tell you where they're from and
we'll tell you how much they supported the
show with.
Because we're, unlike the Epstein people, we're very
transparent here.
We have no babes in bikinis.
But we do have people supporting us.
And at this point, we'd like to thank
people who are able to support us with
a little bit more, $200 or more.
We will thank you.
We will also read your note.
I see a long one came in.
And we'll give you a title because this
is like, you know, it's worth it.
It's like show business, like Hollywood, what's left
of it.
And we will give you the title of
Associate Executive Producer for $200 or above.
If you could do $300 or more, we'll
read your note.
We'll thank you profusely.
And we will give you the title of
Executive Producer.
And these are real credits.
You could go to imdb.com and go
look at Dana Brunetti.
His No Agenda Show Associate Executive Producer credit
is right at the top.
It's right at the top of his list.
Above House of Cards.
It's beautiful to watch.
So, we've got some mega supporters today.
He's back.
He's alive.
We're happy to hear about it.
Sironymous of Dogpatch and Lois Lobovia comes in,
all cash, $3,861.
It's code.
We don't know exactly what it means.
Did it include $2 bills?
Yes, three of them.
For the six, and a single, I guess.
No, no, no.
It was a five and three twos is
the 11, so you get the one.
Oh, interesting.
He always accompanies this with a very nice
note.
I don't think he's ever sent a $1
bill.
Because he's not cheap.
No, it's not that.
It's because when they sent the pallet of
money over to Iran…
It had all those $2 bills in it?
There was no ones.
Got it.
Sironymous of Dogpatch and Lois Lobovia says, Thank
you to all producers and the two hosts
that make this such an important source of
information, perspective, and the best resource for media
history in the universe.
I don't think I could…
That's true.
What an endorsement.
In fact, it was exhibited on today's show
by Adam himself when he discussed the history
of podcasting.
That's correct.
And he poses a number of questions here,
and I shall read them off.
One, will having an African Muslim mayor of
New York City cause a drop in No
Agenda listeners?
Well, I don't see why that would happen.
No, I think it would cause an increase.
Will he be compared to another Ugandan like
Idi Amin?
That's possible.
Well, Idi Amin was brought in by the
CIA, so…
And?
Your point?
And, will anti-Semite and anti-Muslim fears
grow among peace-loving Christians?
Yes.
That fear is being bestowed upon Christians everywhere.
And I'm telling people, hey, knock it off.
Yeah, it's no good.
And this is, it truly is, this is
the next, let's bring all the believers together.
Let's make them all afraid of the Muslims.
Dearborn, oh, Dearborn is being raised by Sharia
law.
Don't worry, I do not see that happening
in America.
Are anti-Catholic fears in the offing?
I think that's no.
I don't think so.
Will Trump replace Jimmy Kimmel as a show
host with Donald Live in 2029?
Well, I'd watch it, but no.
I'd watch it, but that's not happening.
Do producers know where Mali, Sudan, or the
Sahel are, and should they care?
Yes, yes, yes, and they should.
I'm pretty sure our producers know where Mali,
Sudan, and the Sahel are.
I don't know anybody that knows where Sahel
is, even if it's pronounced that way.
It's just a desert area out in the
middle of nowhere between two countries.
Yeah, but this isn't…
It's like the Mojave Desert, basically.
This is code.
This is code.
Keep your eye on the Sahel.
That's an interesting point.
Of course.
What am I thinking?
Yes.
Only Know Agenda offers thoughtful insight into these
and many more important issues ignored by the
M5M, sacrificing fortune to offer their perspective and
information without advertiser censorship.
Free and independent perspective supported by a vast
resource of producers always matters and needs to
be supported.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you very much.
Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Not just for your donation, but we love
your probing questions.
And it's just good to know you're alive,
because we sometimes are wondering, like, is he
okay?
Yes, we do.
We do wonder.
Is he okay?
We haven't heard from him, you know, because
I know he has…
I feel he has a dangerous job, whatever
he does.
He could be a caterpillar salesman for all
we know.
Okay.
Yeah.
Keep on believing that.
I don't think so.
Well, it's possible.
I don't think so.
Which leaves you with a rather long note
to read.
Yes, I got it.
It's from Dame Catherine, our crypto granny buddy.
Crypto granny.
Bangkok.
Bangkok.
She's a very close associate to the show.
And she came here with the Rebelizer donation.
Ah, we need the jingle.
India.
Tango.
Mic.
Standby.
33.
33.
33.
Rebelizer out.
There you go.
The special…
33.33. This is a big donation.
And she's been promising to do this for
a while.
I've been back and forth with her.
Is this…
And this is actually…
Did she send this in Bitcoin?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Even though it came in with the color…
Yeah.
Because it came in…
It's wrong.
It's Bitcoin.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a Bitcoin donation.
And she's been back and forth and back
and forth with it, one thing or another.
And she's confused…
Not confused, but she managed it because she
sent a donation in the last show, too.
Let's see what we can get a streak
of Rebelizers going, she says.
For you Bitcoiners, there's a bit of magic
to find where on Stripe you can donate.
It's Strike that we use.
No.
Strike.
Strike.
Strike.
With a K, yes.
And it's on the noagendadonations.com.
You click around, you'll find the links.
Yeah.
Hopefully, John will clarify this in the future
newsletters.
And Jay's been dicking around with that site
to make it easier for people because apparently
some people can't click it.
Well, the QR code is the easiest because
the way Bitcoin works.
Yeah.
Yeah, but it's down…
It's down below.
It's below the fold, man.
It's below the fold.
Yeah, it should be.
Yeah, it should be.
Move it up.
Move it up.
I want to thank you all for all
your hard work over the years.
I love hearing about your personal lives.
I don't know why, but that's what she
writes.
Adam finding the keeper.
And then Jesus and, of course, John's kids
at the dinner table and the adorable.
What are you teaching him now, John?
Yes.
What are you teaching him?
Thank you to Mimi for her work and
her keeping John in line.
That should be…
I think she meant keeping John alive, I
think is what she meant.
Don't have a live baby.
You have a good woman there.
I feel like you're my family, especially with
the quibbling back and forth as a proud
boomer.
I really enjoy it when you tickle my
memories that make me smile.
Yeah, we do have a lot of these.
It's called old stories.
When I was a kid, I loved…
And she continues.
I have loved the evolution from the ground
up, the trolls, the boots on the ground,
podcasting 2.0, the meetups, the artists.
I'd like to give a shout out and
special recognition to the producers in the background
who do so much work.
You've touched so many people in a very
positive way.
This is a long note, but it's a
Rebelizer.
Hello.
I would like to bestow these titles.
My son, JD, will be JD Knight of
the River's Edge.
My adorable five-year-old granddaughter, Taylor, will
be Dame Taytay of Durango.
My super amazing daughter-in-law will be
Dame Ashley Little Miss Sunshine.
I think they may also get a peace
prize in which they richly deserve.
Yes.
Okay, well, we can do that.
JD would like bourbon, Brussels sprouts, and some
amazing mac and cheese at the round table.
Wait, that brings me to my bonus clip.
I have the amazing mac and cheese.
Hold on.
Here it is.
Hopefully, this will suffice.
Let me just crank up the volume on
this a little bit.
For some reason, it's kind of low.
Here we go.
Ahead of Thanksgiving, Kraft Mac and Cheese is
combining two Thanksgiving classics into one holiday dish.
Let's see if you like this one here.
They're introducing a new Kraft Mac and Cheese
apple flavor, apple pie flavor.
This new flavor is mixing mac and cheese
and apple pie for what they say is
a new take on America's favorite dessert.
If that sounds like something that you're craving,
it's available nationwide at Walmart for a limited
time.
What do you think?
And Walmart yet.
Sounds nasty.
She finishes off with, thank you and remember,
being rich is having enough to share with
others.
A note to all.
Well, there's more to it.
I don't have any more.
That does not just mean money.
It's time, talent, and treasure from Dame Catherine
Crypto Granny of Bangkok.
And we go straight into another Bitcoin donation
from Sir Double T.
ITM sirs, I've just seen the first confirmation
of a 1010101 Satoshi donation.
So that's over 1 million Satoshis to the
greatest podcast in the universe and thought it's
time to send a note.
I believe this donation gives me knighthood and
I would like to be called Sir Double
T of the Nosterverse.
Yes, right.
It came in at one thousand sixty two
dollars and thirty five cents.
I love what you do and I love
my truck.
Stay humble and stack sats, says Sir Double
T.
Thank you very much.
This Bitcoin thing is rocking, John.
This is good.
Eli, the coffee guy to 1113, the date
looks like the penny finally tapped out after
232 years.
Yes, it did.
It's funny how something so small that we
have taken for granted felt permanent.
But alas, it had a good run.
So at least for now, we can still
say our coffee is worth every penny.
So visit GigaWideCoffee, that's the transition of the
day.
So visit GigaWideCoffeeRoasters.com and use code ITM
20 for 20 percent off your order and
get some amazing fresh frozen coffee.
Fresh frozen?
Comes frozen?
Today.
Today.
Stay caffeinated, Eli, the coffee guy.
So is this not just a result of
inflation, money printing, money supply, I should say,
that the penny now just has to go?
Because we at one point had a half
penny.
Did we not?
Did we have a half penny?
No, no, that's England.
We never had a half penny.
Are you sure?
I'm pretty sure.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure.
There was a hay penny, it used to
be called, and that was a British coin.
Did the USA ever have, I'm looking at
half penny.
Okay, let me see.
And half cent?
Yes, half cent.
You're wrong, Dvorak!
That can happen.
It was first minted in 1793, last minted
in 1857.
At that time, it had purchasing power equivalent
to between 12 and 17 cents in 2024
money.
Yeah, it's actually probably more than that.
Yeah, if you can find one, it's probably
worth a lot more.
But the real reason for cutting this thing
out is that it cost four cents to
make one cent.
Right.
Well, that's your inflation.
It's dumb.
Brian Warden is in Cumming, Georgia, and he
sends us $200.07 associate executive producership for
you, and he, oh, this is good.
I saw a six-sided stop sign and
knew I had to donate.
As opposed to what other sort of stop
sign?
Well, he said this was one of your
many donation strategies from around the 700s.
Oh, yeah.
Well, no, it's still in play.
Well, we need to just remind people, when
you see a stop sign, you see that
stop sign, you think, donate to the No
Agenda Show.
Stop sign, donate to the No Agenda Show.
When you see a stop sign, donate to
the No Agenda Show.
What are you getting at?
Whenever people see it.
Specifically, what do you mean by this?
When you see a stop sign.
Yeah, okay, wait, I'm driving on the street,
and I see it's red, it says stop.
Yes, six-sided, six-sided, it's a stop
sign.
It's got six things in it.
And what's the first thing that goes through
your mind?
Well, the first thing that goes through my
mind is to stop.
Stop and donate to the No Agenda Show.
Okay, well, maybe that'll work.
$115 NICU donation, $50 for John and all
of his anal clips on $17.99. I
kept my water and blankets, just sent my
cash.
That's right, Brian, thank you very much, and
thank you for reminding us.
When you see a stop sign, it's time
to donate to your No Agenda Show.
Clint Loudon in Austin, Texas, right up the
street from where you used to live.
$200.
John and Adam, thanks for what you do.
I'm sending an infographic on visas.
You're welcome.
Thank you, thank you.
But okay, I'll look for it.
Infographics still exist.
Also, I wish there was a Boomer Award.
Giving me ideas.
Because that quit-being-so-negative comment aimed
at millennials a few shows ago was the
most boomer thing ever.
There's another interesting gag.
We have enough boomers who listen to the
show that appreciate boomer talk.
Well, I think Gen Z should be eligible
for Boomer Awards, because they have boomer values.
That's why they're attracted to our boomer talk.
Yeah, and they want to learn as much
as they can, so they can have a
competitive edge over the Xs and the millennials.
They are aggressively looking, even though they've been
dumbed down by the public school system, they
know this.
They have self-realization, and they know that
they have to be competitive with these other
two groups.
Not us, because they're not competing with us.
They're competing with the Xs and the millennials.
They know that they're going to have to
have an edge, and the edge is the
knowledge of the boomers.
The boomer knowledge.
Boomer knowledge.
Speaking of a competitive edge...
Good name for a show, by the way.
Yes, boomer knowledge.
Speaking of a competitive edge, Linda Lou Patkin
is here with $200 from Lakewood, Colorado, and
she wants Jobs Karma, and in fact says,
for a competitive edge with a resume that
gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all
of your executive resume and job search needs.
That's ImageMakersInc with a K.
And work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs
and writer of winning resumes.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Jobs Karma.
Michael Day in Fuquay, Varina, which is not
pronounced correctly because I don't know how to
pronounce it.
In North Carolina.
Fuquay.
Fuquay, Fuquay, Fuquay.
Fuquay this.
Fuquay this.
$200.
And his simple note, nice and short, credit
my wife, Damon Kelly.
And then he says, save the ostriches, which
is too late.
The Canadians killed them all.
Killed them all.
Killed the ostriches.
Yes, it's horrible.
For no good reason, by the way.
Just because they're Canadian.
Crazy over there.
Mark Carney.
Mark Carney's killing your ostriches, people.
Thank you very much to these executive and
associate executive producers for episode 1816.
You will be credited as such.
And remember, these credits are real.
They are valid.
If anyone questions them, all you have to
do is let us know, and we will
gladly vouch for you.
They will be presented on the credits.
And, of course, you can put them anywhere
that credits are recognized and appreciated, your LinkedIn
profile, and don't forget the imdb.com.
And we'll be thanking the rest of our
supporters who went to noagendadonations.com at the
end of the show, our second segment.
Once again, congratulations to the executive and associate
executive producers.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
I love my job, and I love what
I do.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, since we've been playing with it throughout
the show, might as well play this report.
Get your sound makers ready.
Ike is at a turkey farm in New
Jersey with Moore.
Good morning to you, Ike.
Good morning, Robin.
They're saying good morning, too.
Listen, the good folks here at Double Brook
Farm in Hopewell, New Jersey, they're gearing up
for Thanksgiving.
I don't think they like that too much,
but let me tell you, you should be
gearing up, too.
I know grocery store prices are rising across
the country, but a new report says that
your Thanksgiving feast could actually be a bit
cheaper this year.
Hey, mine doesn't work that well anymore.
I think I touched the membrane.
No, no, you have to catch it just
right.
The thing is touchy.
It's touchy.
50-year mortgages.
This was kind of interesting.
Yeah, there's a scam, if ever there was.
Well, let me play the report, and then
I have some questions.
This morning, new backlash as the Trump administration
moves forward with a plan to introduce 50
-year mortgages.
It looks to be like the president's looking
for a quick fix to a market that
is fundamentally broken right now.
Over the weekend, Trump sharing this image comparing
the proposal to the 30-year mortgage policies
championed by FDR nearly a century ago.
The move could potentially kickstart the now stagnant
real estate market.
Homes are currently seeing the lowest turnover rate
in 30 years, and the median age of
first-time homebuyers just hit an all-time
high of 40 years old.
It's really difficult to see right now for
younger borrowers how they are going to be
able to afford a home.
A longer fixed-rate mortgage would lower monthly
payments, but would also create a higher total
cost because of all that interest over five
decades.
Take a $400,000 loan at 6%
interest.
Under a 30-year mortgage, the monthly payment
would be just shy of $2,400.
Under a 50-year loan, it drops to
just over $2,100, a savings of nearly
$300 a month.
But over time, that savings is erased by
a much larger interest bill because while the
total interest on a 30-year loan would
be about $463,000, the interest on a
50-year loan would total more than $860
,000.
Many, including longtime allies of President Trump, are
not on board with the idea.
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene saying, quote, it will
ultimately reward the banks, mortgage lenders, and home
builders, while people pay far more in interest
over time and die before they ever pay
off their home.
In debt forever, in debt for life.
And the White House has not yet explained
how it would get around the Dodd-Frank
Act, which effectively bans mortgages longer than 30
years.
Well, that effectively ban is not entirely true,
but you wouldn't be a qualified mortgage lender,
but it's not banned by any stretch of
the imagination.
But tell us about this.
This is important for our Gen Z listeners.
What advice will you give them?
Which, of course, is not financial advice because
we don't give any.
But what is your thoughts on this?
Well, I don't like it.
It's a scam of sorts.
I mean, this is like increasing the car
loans from, you know, two years, three years.
I think it normally was three or four
years.
You can get seven years now.
Yeah, they got it jacked up.
So you just pay a lot of benefits
to the banks, and the banks are the
problem here.
But a question, a question, a question.
You can deduct the interest from your taxes.
Yeah.
So isn't that?
Although Trump put a cap on that a
few years ago, and then luckily the Democrats
took the cap off, and I think it's
off now for a while.
It is.
It's up to like $40,000 or something.
Yeah, it's still a cap, but it's not
down to 10.
Yeah, but it's, well, that's what Trump did.
And then now it's up to 40.
So, I mean, is that not something that
you should look at?
It's a big deal that you can do.
It lowers your taxes.
That's true.
Yeah.
It's helpful, but it lowers your tax with
the 30-year mortgage too.
The difference is negligible insofar as the taxes
is concerned.
But in terms of the long-term accumulation
of interest, it's no.
It's ridiculous.
And I think this whole problem with the
shortage and the problem with the kids getting
in has to do with the banks.
The banks make it difficult for anyone to
get a loan for anything.
And for this purpose, to create a phony
crisis, so they have to do something drastic
like this 50-year thing, and all of
a sudden they'll relax the standards and everyone
will be able to get one of these
loans.
This is basically some sort of a scam.
Hmm.
Okay.
So, stay away.
And for the kids, you're going to just
have to starve yourself.
Once you get your down payment and get
in, you're good to go, but you're going
to have to sacrifice.
Only fans.
Only fans.
Actually, some truth to that.
Yeah.
Just saying.
I got a note from a guy that
was…
Where is this note?
Here it is.
A lot of notes.
I haven't caught up with my notes.
This guy goes on and says he has
a comment on the show related to the
show 1815.
During the show, you were discussing healthcare and
health insurance companies.
You had an anecdotal story regarding a young
woman.
This was the last show, actually, seeking an
MRI approach, and then you get it for
700 bucks as opposed to 1,500.
She talked to another provider, blah, blah, blah.
Your analysis blamed the insurance company for the
outrageous difference.
However, the deductible payment goes to the hospital
provider, not the insurance company, so the hospital
is going to collect the 5K plus whatever
the insurance company reimburses, versus the 750 if
cash was paid.
The serious gouging by the hospital provider.
Yes.
The hospitals are as much at fault as
anyone.
Why do the hospitals gladly take cash payment
at a lower price then if that is
true?
They don't gladly take it.
Yes, they do.
Well, they do take it, but this one
hospital wouldn't.
I don't think this applies to all hospitals.
That's the problem, and I think it definitely
applies to HMO hospitals.
Which, by the way, was a British invention.
And not only that, but it was HMOs
in this country until Richard Nixon.
I have to write an essay on this
so I can get it straight myself, but
Richard Nixon allowed the HMOs to, when he
was in office, pass the law that allowed
them to make profit.
They had to be nonprofit, had to be
break-even operations, all these HMOs.
That's when Kaiser was in business.
I used to be a Kaiser girl.
Yeah, I was a Kaiser girl.
I worked for Kaiser, and I got free
health care from Kaiser, and then I continued
that health benefit.
It was cheap, and it was pay-as
-you-go.
I didn't remember paying a monthly thing.
That all changed with Nixon, and they started
creeping and creeping.
They could make more and more profits, and
you look at the balance sheets and the
billions of dollars being made by all these
middlemen, including the hospitals and the insurance companies,
aren't making millions and millions and billions of
dollars because everybody's getting health care inexpensively.
So I blame both the health care.
The whole system sucks.
Well, because you brought up MRI, producer Scott
sent a note.
He says, I need an MRI for a
shoulder injury.
My orthopedic doctor's office performs them.
They bill insurance $1,600.
They were willing to give me a self
-pay price of $1,200.
CrowdHealth, that's the thing that Tina can tell
you about, tinatcurry.com, found an imaging center
that happened to be closer than my ortho's
office.
The imaging center performed the MRI, produced a
written report by a radiologist, sent that report
to my ortho and me, and gave me
a disk of the images.
Final price, $321.
Dude, that's a quarter of the price.
Pays to shop around.
Yes.
Well, in this case, CrowdHealth did it.
And then I got a disturbing note.
I don't understand how this could even happen.
So I don't know if you found out
about California, if health insurance is mandatory.
I haven't yet to disprove this.
Well, one of our producers lives in Massachusetts.
He says Massachusetts imposes a penalty if you
don't have health insurance.
Because I use CrowdHealth, I will have to
pay a penalty.
I decided to pay the penalty because I
think the crowd health model is good for
the country.
I don't like giving my money to insurance
companies.
I like being able to choose what crowd
events I pay for.
And there's a decent chance my cost will
still be lower by using CrowdHealth and paying
the penalty.
But they have this whole, he sent me
a whole penalty schedule.
I mean, this was the whole point of
removing the Obamacare tax.
And now, I didn't know that states just
went ahead and just made this law.
I mean, isn't that, doesn't that fall under
the same unconstitutional tax that's not a tax?
There's something fishy about it.
I'd say.
Well, let's get Rob on it.
Because he's got nothing better to do.
Poor Rob.
Oh, God.
Those guys are asking more legal questions for
free.
Come on, Rob.
It's like most lawyers have a little clock
next to the phone.
As soon as they pick up, they tap
it.
They're billing you by the second.
Like one of those chess clocks.
OK.
Yeah, exactly.
It's exactly the same.
And it's going around and around.
Can you ask that question again?
It's also possible that he's just noting this,
and one day he'll come up and say,
OK, I need to be a duke.
And here's my accounting.
He's got the clock running.
Here's my accounting over that.
Actually, being an attorney, that would not surprise
me.
And I wouldn't be a problem for me.
No, dukedoms are what they are.
Yeah, they are.
Indeed.
Oh, that's funny.
All right.
Do you have other stuff here in your
list that you haven't played yet?
Yeah, I got this ketchup stuff.
I got this stuff to get us up
to speed.
Let's go with the—well, we got the Trump
suing the BBC over that thing.
We kind of discussed that earlier.
Yeah.
By the way, it turns out this morning,
ABC Australian Broadcasting had pulled the same stunt.
Oh, they did?
They may be up—yes, and they're getting burned.
They got burned by— Did they take the
same edit?
No, it was different, but still bad.
Huh.
Different.
And they got burned by Sky News.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, just the same way the Telegraph did
with the BBC.
Let's go to the Ukraine update.
Everybody loves the Ukraine update.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues meeting with
G7 foreign ministers in Canada today.
Ukraine's foreign minister is attending as well.
Ukraine is seeking to buy 25 additional Patriot
defense systems from the U.S. And today's
international correspondent, Arian Pasdar, has more.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is among the
G7 officials welcoming Ukraine's foreign minister in Canada
on Wednesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky recently said he wants
to order 25 Patriot air defense systems from
the United States.
Meanwhile, Canada has announced additional sanctions on people
and entities involved in Russia's drone program.
The measure will affect 13 people and 11
entities, including several involved in the development and
deployment of Russian drones.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, Kiev is battling an alleged
major $100 million corruption scheme.
Anti-corruption authorities say they detained five people
suspected of involvement in the alleged plot to
control procurement in state energy enterprises.
Ukraine's government is now being shaken up.
On Wednesday, the country's energy minister resigned while
the justice minister was suspended.
This comes after President Volodymyr Zelensky called for
their dismissal.
I believe the justice minister and energy minister
can no longer remain in their positions.
This is a matter of trust.
If there are accusations, they must be addressed.
The corruption in the energy sector comes as
Russia keeps attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which brings
blackouts across the country ahead of winter.
I was actually very angry after the shelling
of the energy infrastructure, because it turns out
that our energy facilities are not protected for
this year of the war.
The scandal also hurts Ukraine's bid to join
the European Union.
Fighting corruption is central to Kiev's goal for
EU membership.
Meanwhile, the fighting continues in eastern Ukraine.
Oh, that's interesting.
Do you think that this was part of
the we want to be in the EU?
So look what we did.
We got rid of some guys.
Maybe.
But it just points out that the whole
place is corrupt.
Of course it is.
I have actually a clip here from European
Parliament Vice President Hanna Virkunen about the media
in the EU.
They have instituted.
I didn't know about this.
It's called the Media Freedom Act.
Yeah, well, you know, with those wording, with
that wording, that means it is just the
opposite.
Well, in a way, you have to kind
of get into her accent.
But it's a short clip.
We are supporting our journalist work and our
news media.
Of course, these kind of programs, it's only
a very small part.
When we look the whole financial framework where
our media is working nowadays.
So I see that it's even more important
also to make sure that we are creating
more level playing field for our media.
Because we notice how she keeps saying our
media, our media, our media, our media.
Important also to make sure that we are
creating more level playing field for our media.
Because we know that our media is very
much under financial pressure because of the digitalization.
And because of the online platforms that the
people are not buying so much newspapers, for
example, anymore.
And a big part of advertising is also
in digital platforms.
So we have to also look at how
we can create more level playing field for
our media.
But at the same time, it's very important
also that we are supporting our journalist work
and free and independent media.
And of course, member states are also playing
a very important role here.
And that's why we have Media Freedom Act
now into place.
And member states are currently now implementing it.
And we are now encouraging all the member
states to implement it very fast.
Because there we are also looking the ownerships
and the structures of media in different member
states.
To make sure that we have free, independent
and media all over in our member states.
Yeah, so you're right.
Of course, this is not about free, independent
media.
The European Media Freedom Act provides grants to
state media for media innovation.
And journalism partnerships in the millions.
And all state media in Europe is all
socialist.
It's horrible.
It's no better than the BBC lying.
And it's controlled by the politicians.
Because the politicians here are controlling the money
that they want.
Another little tidbit from European legislation.
As of January 2027, every euro above 10
,000 euros in cash in your home becomes
illegal tender.
Every crypto transaction must be a data point
in the database.
So if I had $15,000 in cash
because I...
$5,000 is illegal.
I'm looking to buy a car.
Oh, no, no, no.
The EU anti-money laundering package starting in
2027.
Do they realize that drug dealers do business
in the millions?
Buying a car in cash will be a
crime.
What?
At 2027.
Sending over 1,000 euros without state approval
triggers prosecution.
The digital euro arrives in 2029.
And you will only be able to hold
3,000 euros in your digital euro.
Every purchase tracked, every pattern analyzed.
Yeah, this is great.
Why would anyone put up with this?
Because...
If I want to buy a car in
cash...
No.
No.
Just no.
No.
You can't.
Why?
Because you will own nothing and you will
be happy.
No.
Just no.
I got to get my kid out of
there before 2029.
This is nuts.
Yeah, well, you're not having much success from
the way I see it.
They're coming for Christmas.
They're coming for Christmas, and I'm going to
take them around.
I'm going to show them how wonderful it
is in America.
America.
And Christmas is a great time, particularly in
Fredericksburg.
Oh, is it one of those festive little
towns during Christmas?
We are the Christmas town of Texas.
Is that right?
Oh, yeah.
Well, where's the photos from last year?
I haven't seen one photo of what you
just said.
You should have had photos.
You send them to me.
I put them in the newsletter.
There's a lot of things we can do
with these photos.
I want to see some really dynamite photos.
I will send you some dynamite photos because
we will be on one of the balconies
on Main Street, because we are connected.
What are you doing on a balcony?
Just sitting there?
Well, then you can see the whole parade
go by.
Oh, there's a parade.
You didn't say anything about that.
Well, you didn't let me get to it.
Are you going to try to get the
kid there before the parade?
Is it called the Christmas parade?
What is it called?
Yeah, it's a Christmas.
Well, it's the lighting.
We have a big Christmas tree on the
marked box.
You have like a Rockefeller Center Christmas tree
type thing?
Jawohl.
And we have all kinds of...
Jawohl.
Yes, we do.
Yes, yes.
I finally found the guy who speaks German
here.
Bert.
So we wanted to have our...
The rest of them won't tell you.
A gas fireplace.
And so we got a number from the
guy we bought the house from.
And Bert comes over.
And it turns out Bert is the owner
of Hill Country Propane, which is the propane
company.
Just like Hank Hill.
Yes.
And Bert says, yeah, I'm...
Does he talk like this?
He does.
And he says, I'm 71.
They won't let me retire.
But I love doing these myself.
And he had stories about how...
Did he call you Bobby?
He did not call me Bobby.
He had great stories.
He was into drag car racing.
And he has an incredible history.
And he's like fifth generation Fredericksburg.
Still has 400 acres himself.
Wonderful people out here.
And what was it?
He said for his wedding, his college buddy,
he said, yeah, I want your band to
play at my wedding.
And so his buddy came over and they
set up.
He said, you know, we got...
Our singer quit.
So we're auditioning a new singer.
And it's going to be here during your
wedding.
And he said, that's fine.
I don't care.
That singer was George Strait.
My buddy.
My buddy, George Strait.
One of the top singers in the world
ever.
Yeah, well, that was his audition.
And his college buddy still plays drums for
George Strait.
It's a magical town, John.
We've got magical people here.
Just remember.
Yeah, and they give us Fredericksburg insight that
we can rebut.
Inverse, inverse Fredericksburg.
What is it called again?
I got to get to write it down.
What is it called?
Inverse Fredericksburg.
Just inverse Fredericksburg.
Yeah, it's like inverse Kramer.
Whatever Kramer says on CNBC, do the opposite.
By the way, next week, MSNBC goes to
MSNOW.
Yeah, on the 15th.
I'm very excited.
They're going to have new producers.
Well, that's what they say.
Could be musical chairs for all we know.
Yes.
And I have an update.
Yes.
Not quite sports ball, but I figured this
was an update that you'd be interested in.
Here we go.
Konnichiwa, and thanks for joining us on Grand
Sumo Highlight.
It's day two of the November tournament.
Yokozuna Onosato got off to an auspicious start
with a convincing day one victory.
He seems well positioned to capture his fourth
title of the year and do it in
back-to-back fashion.
There you go.
There's your sumo update.
Good God.
There was like some 16-year-old kid
that was a third of the size of
the sumo wrestler, and he beat him.
Did you see that?
No, I didn't see this.
I didn't see day two.
I saw day one, and I've been watching.
See, this is why I bring the sumo
updates.
Well, you know, here's what the problem is
with this tournament.
They always play it on three or four
different specific hours, the highlights.
You can watch it live if you want
to, but you have to wait until after
midnight.
I love watching it live.
Oh, I mean, I watched one maybe once
live.
It takes forever.
You don't have any clue about how long
it takes to do one match until you
watch it live.
I know, and they're dilly-dallying, and they
keep squatting down.
They get up.
They get down.
They take a shit.
They take a pee.
They go here.
They go there.
They get up.
They get down.
They get up.
They get down.
It goes on forever, and they finally have
the match.
It does look like they're pooping, doesn't it?
Well, there's just one thing.
It's just ridiculous.
So those highlights are the way to go.
So what happened, though, is after Daylight Saving
Time switched back, the times on the shows
haven't switched back.
They're the same time, so they're off an
hour.
So I'm the schedule-oriented type of guy,
and so when I expected I'd go watch
the sumo at 9.30, and oh, it's
already over.
Oh, bummer.
They played it at 8.30. Yeah, and
it'll take me probably two tournaments to get
the timing right.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is your Sportsball
Update.
And while we had a big first half
of the show, we have a lesser second
half of the show in terms of numbers
of donors.
In fact, it's one of the all-time
lows total, with a grand total of 25
people who actually came in.
And so it's going to be a very
short segment, which Adam will now read, beginning
with our buddy in Sparks.
Yes, that is Dame Rita in Sparks, Nevada,
and she sends us $167.
Christopher Ebert in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Vote Lindsey Graham out, 105-35.
Rochelle Leszczynski in Bailey, Colorado.
What does she say here?
Oh, something about the Gen Zs.
If you want more people to listen live,
tell them what day or time they should
tune in.
Old-school radio appointment setting strategy, but it
works.
It helps the new Gen Z listeners.
No, they can't read clocks, so they'll never
know.
Oh, that's Rocky!
We do this.
On DHM Plug, we constantly pound Horowitz does,
the time that the show runs live.
By the way, I didn't realize, I didn't
realize that this is, that's her real name.
This is Rocky Thomas sending this donation.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Rocky Thomas!
Rocky Thomas!
Yeah!
Well, who's Rocky Thomas?
Rocky, she's a friend, Rocky Thomas.
She is the chief success officer, chief revenue
officer, one of the co-founders of Live365.
Oh, really?
Yes, and she is what they call a
technic up there in Colorado with her husband
and their kids.
Yes, go podcasting.
You're right, Rocky Thomas.
We shall tell everybody, listen live at 1
p.m. Texas time.
Figure it out for wherever you live.
Kevin McLaughlin from Concord, North Carolina, 808.
You left Mike.
Oh, Mike.
Sorry, Mike.
10535, sumo donation.
Wow, how about that?
Now we go to Kevin, who says Laos
Deo translates to praise be to God inscribed
on top of the Washington Monument facing east
towards the rising sun.
That's his boob donation.
And then Sir Scott, he is in fact
the Black Knight of the No Agenda Armory.
He says this donation is to celebrate my
60th trip around the sun on Wednesday the
12th.
Scott, of course, is always to be found.
It's at the many meetups in the Austin
area.
He organized a lot of them with his
beautiful wife.
This takes me to the title of Black
Viscount of the No Agenda Armory.
I'm a full priced viscount, no double credit
donations, no executive producer titles, no Commodore titles
or other gimmicks.
Just two hundred ninety five, twelve dollar and
fifty cent auto bank paychecks on every payday
with a few other donations at meetups sprinkled
in to be a viscount with no ass
dicks.
That's a Reverend Al reference.
Please pay and play the David Bowie title
change jingle couple with health karma to help
me get over my hypertension battle so I
can once again have the energy to start
hosting Austin meetups.
Thank you, Scott R.
Morgan.
He is Sir Scott, the Black Knight of
the No Agenda Armory and a friend of
the show.
Thank you, Sir Scott.
Congratulations.
He came in with sixty two forty one.
Yes, he did.
Christopher Dechter, fifty six, seventy eight, five, six,
seven, eight.
Gina Moley with fifty two, seventy two.
I'm pretty sure that's fifty dollars with fees.
Thank you for the tip about Amarula.
Bought it, brought it to a dinner party.
Everybody loved it.
Dessert with raspberries, with ice cream.
It was delicious poured over the top.
Oh, there's a tip on the tip.
Hannah Richter, fifty two, seventy two.
Steven Shoemaker in Xenia, Ohio.
Fifty.
These are the fifties.
Scott McCarty, Lodi, California.
Tim Del Vecchio in Blandon, Pennsylvania.
Gary Mao in Woodland Hills, California.
Isn't that where all the tech guys live?
Woodland Hills.
I'm thinking.
I don't know.
I don't think so.
Patricia Worthington, Miami, Florida.
Dame Patricia Worthington.
Brandon Savoie in Port Orchard, Washington.
Commodore Sir Crummy in El Cajon, California.
And winding it up there is Harry Klan
from Aledo, Texas.
Thank you all very much.
These are the rest of our producers.
Fifty dollars and above.
We do not mention or thank under fifty
directly, but we are thankful.
Of course, that is for reasons of anonymity,
and you can support the best podcast in
the universe by going to noagendadonations.com and
supporting us with any amount that you thought
you got out of the show.
Value for value.
You can always set up a recurring donation
like Sir Scott.
Any amount, any frequency.
Noagendadonations.com And it's looking a bit like
the donation list there.
Only one birthday.
Only one, but it is the big 6
-0.
Sir Scott.
The Viscount to be of the Armory.
Turned 60 years old.
Congratulations.
Happy birthday from everybody here.
The best podcast in the universe.
And by request, Sir Scott receives the David
Bowie title change as he goes from Black

donations.
It does work, people.
Thank you very much, Sir Scott.
We love you.
We love you long time, my friend.

Well, that's right.
We've got tons of meetups taking place all
over the globe.
We love it when people tell us how
it went.
And here is the Oklahoma City Meetup Report.
They titled this meetup, Everything's an Op.
Hey, this is Sir Art Vandele.
We are here at the Everything's an Op

We always love hearing that, and it gives
a promotion to the establishment.
Maybe the Indie Meetup did better.
Dame Annette, here's her report.
This is Sarah Mark.
And this is Dame Maria.
And this is the Indie NA Meetup coming

You're a code Bongino for that Too Many
Guns website.
In the morning, John and Adam, I just
found out Maria is non-Mexican, so I'm
calling off the ice raid.
No policia, por favor.

Many more to find at noagendameetups.com.
Once you go to one of these, you
will want to keep coming back.
You will find connection that gives you protection.
These people will be your first responders in
any emergency.
Go to noagendameetups.com to find out if
there's one happening near you.
If there isn't one, here's an idea, start
one yourself.
It's easy, it's fun, and it's always a
party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with
all the nights and days.
You won't be triggered or held to blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the
same.
It's like a party.
A reminder, we do have John's tip of
the day coming up.
We have some great end-of-show slop,
end-of-show mixes, which are not all
AI.
I think you'll enjoy them.
Before that, we always like to determine what
we're going to play as our end-of
-show ISO.
Actually, I'm over ISO today.
I have four of them.
Do you have two, I see?
Yes.
Okay, I'll start with mine.
I'm hungry.
Just like that kid so much.
Here's another one.
That is awesome.
I'm pulling from the archives.
It could have been better.
Yeah, they're doing great.
Well done.
Not too bad.
What?
I find that exhilarating.
All very positive.
All positive, all upbeats.
Yeah, it's about time.
I did like the second to the last
one.
I thought that was good.
Yeah, they're doing great.
Well done.
Yeah, that one, the British guy.
Okay, well, I have a couple.
You have to guess which one's AI.
Oh, okay.
I can see by the waveform, it's yup.
Well, let's start with best.
These two fellas are the best in the
business.
Not AI.
Okay, you fooled me.
Yeah.
And the other one?
Yup.
Yup.
This is the only good podcast anyone does.
These two fellas are the best in the
business.
Yeah, they're doing great.
Well done.
Ooh, I think that's a double combo.
I'm kind of liking that.
All right, I'm in.
I knew you'd be in.
And not only that, ladies and gentlemen, not
only is he in, but he has your
tip of the day.
Great advice from you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
I'll get some flack for this one.
So there's a knife sharpener I've been using
for 30 years, and it keeps, I bought
a second one.
Well, why would you get flack?
Knife sharpeners are important.
I'm excited about this.
Well, I know why I'm going to get
flack.
I've tried all these different kinds of knife
sharpeners.
There's the three-stage, four-stage.
There's the one you do this and this
and this.
This is a one-shot knife sharpener.
It's one stage.
It's not a cheap sharpener.
It used to be cheaper.
And I think you can still get it
on sale if you look around.
It's the Zwilling, which I believe is Henkels,
but Zwilling 32590-300 Twin Sharp Knife Sharpener.
It's a funny-looking thing, and it's easy
to hold down.
You hold it down to the ground, to
the table, and then you drag the knife
across this little slot.
And I have had, I have old pre
-World War II steel knives.
I've got some.
Wait, wait.
Are these the knives that you used to
kill Nazis?
I think they would work.
Zwilling.
What is the number again?
It's the Zwilling 32590-300.
It's called a Twin Sharp.
And I have some sabatieres that I've had
since the 70s, and I keep sharpening them.
And I think it sharpens the hell out
of any blade, except the Japanese blade.
If you have Japanese blades, you have to
get a stone.
Don't use a Japanese blade on this thing.
This is like a, it's made of plastic
handle.
Is that the one?
Yeah, it's got the, it's got a funny
shape.
It's got a plastic handle.
Yeah, it holds down, and then you pull
your knife across towards you.
That's a very simplistic, 49 bucks on Amazon,
I see.
Yeah, it's too high, but it's what it
is.
But you pull the knife, you put the
knife in, and you pull it toward you,
and you do, two of those will sharpen
any knife pretty quickly.
Except for the Japanese ones.
The Japanese knife's got a different blade angle,
and everything's wrong.
And a good Japanese knife needs a stone,
and you have to go to get them
from a Japanese.
I have a Japanese stone that's from some
mountain in Japan.
It's so famous.
Is that a hueting stone?
Yeah, they have these, yes.
They have, the Japanese have all these rituals
about stone sharpening, and they have these myths
about the stone mountain, that you have to
take a chunk from that, and use that
to sharpen your knife.
It's a long story.
But with Japanese knives, they're very, especially the
good ones.
So you have to be careful with those.
You know what I would like in follow
-up to this, which I think would really
complete the series?
I would like a knife tip of the
day.
A kitchen knife tip of the day.
I think you could do several of them,
actually.
I could do quite a few knife tips
of the day, yes.
Okay.
I'll work on the ultimate knife tip.
You can find this tip and all of
John's tips of the day at tipoftheday.net.
Take a look.
It's worth it.
Great advice for you and me.
Just a tip with JCB.
And sometimes Adam.
Created by Dana Brunetti.
Yes, and we thank Dana Brunetti for this
fabulous creation.
The flack I'm going to get is that
this type of sharpener does, it can hurt,
you can kill yourself with it?
No, no, it attacks the blade rather aggressively.
Oh, so it's an aggressive sharpener.
We have end-of-show mixes, people, and
you will like them.
David Denton, Sir Joho, FBI Junk, and Nico
Syme.
