And by the way, I denounce you.
Oh no!
Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Sunday, December 14th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation media
assassination episode 1825.
This is no agenda.
Denouncing everyone!
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
Texas hill country here in FEMA region number
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're wondering how
you can have a shooting in Australia when
guns are illegal.
I'm John C.
Devorah.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning!
Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't say that.
Sigh.
Ah, there you go.
Started off at the, started off on the
right foot.
Yeah, I was.
With the famous, what's the name again?
Gigi.
Gigi.
Gigi Shai.
Gigi, yeah, yeah.
Oh good lord.
Yeah.
Because whenever you say that, I get all
the emails that say, that's not true!
We have hunting rifles, we got laces, guns
are outlawed.
Everybody, Australia has such a bad rap.
Like, well they took your guns away and
now look what happened.
Rhode Island.
Well they took your guns away, it's hard
to get a gun, look what happened.
We live in a broken world, people.
Hey, you know what?
The argument is valid.
What's valid?
They took the guns away and look what
happened.
You know what's interesting about, certainly about Brown
University?
Thanksgiving Day weekend.
We were doing a show, weren't we?
We did a show on Thanksgiving.
Did we do a show on Thanksgiving?
Of course, every Thanksgiving except in 18 years
of doing shows we have done every Thanksgiving
except one, ever.
I do not recall the quad screen shouting
at me, four dead and 13 wounded in
Chicago.
You know, the news is racist.
Everybody's racist.
You know why?
Because of black people.
Black people in Chicago got killed Thanksgiving Day
weekend.
Four dead, 13 wounded, you didn't hear about
it.
I wonder why?
Why is that?
No guns in Chicago either.
What's up with that?
Chicago's got very strict gun laws.
So what's up with that?
You already said.
Oh, they're racist.
Yeah, okay.
Good, at least you understand.
And by the way, I denounce you.
Oh, no.
That's the cool new hip thing.
You gotta denounce somebody.
I never heard this.
Oh, yeah.
No, you have to denounce Milo, denounce Tucker,
denounce what's the kid?
De Fuentes.
Denounce Dave Rubin.
Denounce Megyn Kelly.
Where did you get this?
I follow this.
Everybody's denouncing everybody.
Denounce.
I denounce you.
It's so corny.
It is.
I denounce you.
It is.
This MUK Ultra business is out of control.
Because that's what it is.
MUK Ultra.
I like MUK.
Oh, that's good.
It's a pun.
Yes.
But that's clearly what it is.
MUK.
Yes.
Everybody.
Whoa.
Hey, where was it?
Where did I have the...
I thought I clipped that.
This was the one.
Hold on.
Here it is.
Alright, everybody.
It's obvious now who is the handler.
We all know who works for Mossad.
It's those little things where, again, he would
walk through the door, drop his bags.
Daddy's home.
Take his phone.
Friday night.
She said Shabbat Shalom.
Oh, no!
She said Shabbat Shalom.
Why did she say it, though, is the
question.
She just said it.
Yeah, that's pretty funny.
She got nothing but grief.
I didn't think we were going to bring
her up, but she's been getting just boatloads
of grief.
You know, so first of all, I'm pretty
sure...
Talking about Sabbath is not all that odd
in Christian circles.
I can see Charlie Kirk saying Shabbat Shalom,
y'all.
I'm home.
I can see it.
The problem here is...
I can't.
I can't see anybody except...
I don't even think Horowitz or most Jews
say it.
It's a Friday night thing you're supposed to
say.
Well, maybe that's what she was talking about.
Friday night.
He came home Friday night and said Shabbat
Shalom.
But no, I'm not buying that.
Here's what's going on.
Here's what's going on with Erica Kirk.
Here's what's going on with Candace.
Here's what's going on with pretty much everybody.
Except us.
All we do is deconstruct the news.
We don't get involved.
No, why would we?
No, because it's a sucker's game.
But you and I have unique experiences that
we can talk about because we've been around.
We've done certain things.
We've been certain places.
I can say on a microcosm I know
what it is to be super super super
famous.
And that microcosm actually would be the Netherlands.
And when you get into any kind of...
I'm going to stop you.
Because I don't think everybody realizes this.
That you were super super super famous in
the Netherlands.
To the point where even during the era
of the show, which is an era literally
an era.
You would go to the Netherlands and there
would be all these front page headlines about
you and your new girlfriend who looked a
lot like your old wife and all in
Dutch and they'd all have pictures of you
you got your trench coat over your face
trying to avoid the cameras.
That kind of thing.
It was at that level.
And so people don't realize that that was
true.
So you do speak from a...
This is not bull crap.
No, it's not bull crap.
And that started when I was 19.
All of a sudden half of the country
was watching me because there were only two
TV stations and I was on with David
Bowie and with the Stones and with Tina
Turner and Grace Jones and just go all
the way down the list.
Madonna.
In fact the whole country still whenever I
entered the country Hey, Curry, Madonna.
Because at the time they were saying Madonna.
Madonna.
Madonna.
Hey, it's Madonna.
Anyway.
On a microcosm, super famous.
And it's a very strange thing to experience.
Particularly when the media gets involved.
And I'll just consider X and YouTube and
the podcastosphere.
I'll consider that all to be media.
In fact I think I pioneered some of
the...
Back in the day it was blogs.
And you'd write something on your blog and
then the newspaper would pick it up and
then there would be a television news item
about the blog that you wrote that you
posted that the newspaper wrote.
And you get into this very strange rhythm
of responding.
And that's exactly what I'm seeing with all
of these micro-famous people like Dave Rubin
and Candace Owens.
We were at a party last night, a
dinner and at least half the wind was
like, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
I can't wait.
It's four o'clock in the afternoon.
I'm ready.
I'm sitting there.
I'm hitting refresh.
I can't wait until Candace comes on.
Really?
Well, you also have to understand what is
the number one category in podcasting?
Outrage.
No.
The number one category by far in podcasting
is true crime.
Yeah.
That's been the case ever since Surreal.
Yes.
And so that's essentially what Candace has become.
True crime.
You know, who killed Charlie Kirk.
This is an interesting interpretation.
And that's why women love it so much.
But then you add in this people commenting
and then Candace commenting and then Dave Rubin
commenting.
And by the way, the bad actor in
all this, if there is a bad actor,
is Tucker Carlson.
He is platforming.
So we have all these terms now.
I denounce you.
He platformed him.
Right on time.
Tucker platforms Nick Fuentes.
Tucker re-platforms Milo Yiannopoulos.
Right at the moment that I think Candace
is about to flame out, unless she may
not, another Brit, another British connection is brought
in.
To me, it feels a little bit like
we can't really do the Gen Z protests
we're doing around the world, but let's mess
them up in America anyway.
And we'll do it like this.
And it's just unbelievable.
Every microcosm, every facial expression is analyzed and
overanalyzed and no breaking news.
Nobody knows anything.
But the actors involved in this, and I
say that with a specific reason, you get
so swept up in it.
And at a certain point, whenever anybody says
something, I've got to respond to that.
The funny thing in Holland, I don't know
if it still works, but up until about
10 years ago, because you get newspapers calling,
you get Barry Weiss.
Come on to town hall with me.
Let's talk about this.
Let's sit down on the Fox and Friends.
It's not like you necessarily are on some
tour, but you feel like you have to
do it because if you don't, then the
other team wins.
And in this case, I had it with
my first wife, all kinds of stuff, but
then with the government, Curry with his helicopters,
all kinds of nonsense.
In Holland, there is a response that you
can give through your people.
And you can say, I'm sorry, right now
we have a media stop.
It's an actual term.
We have a media stop.
And funny enough, when you say that, it
kind of stops because you're not going to
respond anymore and everybody knows it.
I have done so many stupid things in
my life with the media.
I remember doing an interview for a newspaper
after I left wife number one, was with
wife number two before she was my wife.
I'll just give an interview to the newspaper.
And they dragged it out over three days,
two full pages.
Of course, it wasn't exactly how I said
it.
And it just made matters worse.
And that's what all these people are wrapped
up in.
But this phenomenon where there's certainly a couple
million people who are just completely...
This is all they're living for.
They don't care about anything else.
This is it.
This is the thing.
It's really...
It's an interesting time to be alive to
see it, for sure.
But man, is it tiring.
I don't know if you...
I guess you don't follow it that much.
Which just proves that it's possible.
Of course it proves it.
It's like there's a phone in the drawer.
Well, but you've got other things in your
algo.
You've got crazy women from TikTok.
Actually, I've altered the algo.
Oh, have you now?
You want to hear...
That started to finally wane because I got
sick of it.
Oh, good.
I mean, really sick of it.
There's still TikTok clips.
I got one lined up here today.
But it's moved over to another group of
women that are bitching about not being able
to find a man.
It's a whole genre.
Oh, yeah.
It's a million of these women and they're
going out.
All the good men are taking, and they're
moaning and groaning.
You wonder why they can't get a date.
I can't get a date.
Nobody knows how.
No one will come up to me.
And they go...
It's all whining.
I don't know how I got into this
one because I didn't really solicit.
But I know I got into it because
I listened to one of them completely and
I said, what?
And I played it again.
Boom, I'm done.
And so now I'm getting all these videos
of these women moaning and groaning about their
lives.
So you and I are actually living in
two different realities.
That's really what it is.
Which I guess is good.
No, you need to do dimensionality.
But I still have to denounce you.
Okay.
I just have to denounce you.
Well, then I fi-denounce you too.
What everyone's missing is all the cool stuff
that's happening, such as the absolute psyop to
usher in digital ID.
I don't think you've caught this one.
I only caught it kind of by accident
yesterday as I was doing prep.
I'm like, well, hold on a second.
Well, if you caught it by accident yesterday,
I'm doubtful that I caught it.
Listen to this.
Have you heard of 764?
It does ring a bell.
This is the warning that every parent needs
to hear.
And James' mother tells Fox News the predators
who targeted her son will never be held
accountable because the federal laws that we have
right now are insufficient.
Members of 764 and other online networks target
kids and extort them for money, sometimes convincing
them to kill or sexually exploit themselves or
others or harm animals.
Now, I warn you, the next few images
that you're about to see are disturbing.
The violent online networks find vulnerable children on
platforms like Discord and gaming sites.
These pictures are from the Vernon, Connecticut Police
Department.
Police say a teenage girl was extorted by
764 after sending sexually explicit and self-harm
material.
The FBI tells Fox quote, the FBI is
investigating more than 350 subjects who are tied
to violent online networks commonly referred to as
764 but includes many offshoot networks and names.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, nihilistic violent
extremism arrests are up 500% while arrests
Did you hear that?
Nihilistic extremism arrests?
Hold on a second.
According to the FBI Wait, and 500%
of course they give us the real numbers
One and then now five?
Yeah, no, you're not, of course.
That would be 500%.
FBI Director Kash Patel, nihilistic violent extremism arrests
are up 500% while arrests specifically tied
to 764 you see are up 20%.
Nihilistic extremism arrests which is, that's new Nightline
got jumped on the bandwagon.
Welcome to this special edition of Nightline.
With a special edition.
I'm joined by ABC's Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre
Thomas Welcome back to Nightline Pierre.
Good to be here I know you've been
working on this story for nearly a year.
Indeed.
Juju, this is truly one of the most
terrifying stories I've ever covered in my 30
years as a journalist.
Even worse than 9-11 We're talking about
a network that's both a national security threat
and also a direct threat to the nation's
families.
It's a story of pure evil.
A network that seeks to sow chaos in
our society.
This is good isn't it?
One child at a time And we must
warn you there is graphic content and imagery
that might disturb some viewers The darkest The
music is what disturbs me And by the
way you should mention that this is the
second report where they have to do something
that they tell you to go this is
almost done purposefully.
It is There's graphic images that might disturb
you which is to get you in a
mindset.
But everybody got the same electronic press kit
and when they say that they flash a
video or they flash a picture rather of
somebody holding a pink knife right in front
of a little pug dog's face It's the
weirdest and the pug dog of course looks
like You've seen this more than once then
Everyone has the same press kit So it
is a video release There is graphic content
and imagery that might disturb some viewers The
darkest corners of the internet terrorizing the most
vulnerable in the most unexpected places 764 a
loose network of anonymous people online across the
world Their goal?
To unleash chaos Their targets?
Mostly children It's chopping time Like this girl,
coerced to cut her own hair and eat
it The FBI calling 764 one of the
biggest emerging threats We're going after the idiot
It's so sad It's so sad It's sad
How dumb are you Well listen If you've
somehow been coerced on I don't know, I'll
just name a platform off the top of
my head Roblox If you've been coerced somehow
into showing something or doing something You thought
it was somebody else You thought it was
a peer, you thought it was someone your
own age And then it turns out, oh
we're going to release this to all of
your friends, unless you cut off your hair
and eat it Which Their targets?
Mostly children It's chopping time Like this girl,
coerced to cut her own hair and eat
it The FBI calling 764 one of the
biggest emerging threats We're going after the new
form of what I refer to as modern
day terrorism in America 764 crimes Each and
every one of the 55 FBI field offices
across the country are investigating 764 related cases
Charges ranging from animal cruelty to child pornography,
to murder and even alleged terrorism They're calling
it the number one digital threat right now
Number one!
Sexual and violent behavior This is about the
most disturbing story I've seen I mean, everything's
in that report But it's also in Canada
A Halifax teen who police say is affiliated
with violent online extremist group 764 was scheduled
for plea in court on Thursday but did
not appear This comes days after the federal
government labeled 764 a terrorist organization making Canada
the first country to do so The 16
-year-old's lawyer appeared on his behalf requesting
a change to the youth's release conditions The
accused will now be granted access to speak
with legal counsel over a cell phone without
internet connection under supervision He will not have
the ability to use any devices other than
that moment in time When announcing the charges
in October investigators described 764 as a group
that glorifies serious violence Officials say the network
operates on social media and gaming platforms to
gain trust with kids before manipulating them into
sharing intimate images or filming themselves committing acts
of self-harm violence or animal cruelty And
then the final one is we go back
to ABC The I-Team continuing our coverage
tonight on a sadistic online network targeting children
We've told you about the group 764 We've
told you about it!
Members manipulate unsuspecting kids online blackmail and extort
them into producing sexually explicit images or harming
themselves or others 764 operates not only in
the United States but all over the world
using threats, blackmail, and perverse manipulation to groom
children for violence and pain, according to the
FBI forcing them to perform depraved acts of
violence against themselves and others The more debased
and violent the image or video a member
is able to coerce a child to produce
the higher their standing in the 764 We've
got to change the law Unfortunately, technology has
to be moving forward and as it moves
forward there's more challenges for criminal prosecution Now
they're using all sorts of means of coercing
these young people into doing horrible things harming
themselves and others and animals and in some
cases taking their own lives Notice that they
brought the new thing is the animals because
kids alone wasn't doing it That's why he
needed a little pug dog with a knife
in front of his face They got the
girl cutting her hair and eating it but
once you bring in animals now you've got
everybody's attention into doing horrible things harming themselves
and others and animals and in some cases
taking their own lives At least 28 people
have been charged by the Justice Department in
recent years with suspected ties to 764 or
affiliated networks Many have pleaded not guilty and
are awaiting trial The National Center for Missing
and Exploited Children tells the I-Team it's
on track to receive nearly 2,000 reports
of abuse tied to these networks this year,
much of it starting on popular online platforms
The imagery, the videos, the chats that we
are seeing and reading are the most graphic
that I have ever seen in my 20
year history Is that a robot voice?
No, it was not But it's all the
same Most graphic, most disturbing Animals, did I
mention animals?
Look at this puppy Animals Well that's because
you've already been preconditioned to the notion that
kids who abuse animals are likely to become
sex offenders or whatever which has been put
into public domain it's in all the TV
shows, it's been around forever So you have
to get the animal angle in there or
it's a good idea So we have, I
think, 8 bills all of a sudden popping
up and the first couple ones are exactly
what I said was coming months ago as,
you know, we have the Godcaster app and
we already receive messages from the Apple store,
App Store and from the Google Play store
Here's the API for age verification and they're
going to want they're probably going to start
with every app or they kind of have
started with every app should check the age
that's what's happening in Australia Then we have
the App Store Accountability Act House Resolution 3149
which will require the app stores to verify
the age of users and create parental accounts
and of course the parents will have to
prove have to prove their child's age with
some form of government approved ID, real ID
might work.
We have the Screen Act H.R. 1623
Now this is for any website or app
that has any kind of quote on quote
commercial pornography, whatever that means exactly.
What does that mean?
In this era.
Exactly We have the POPA Parents Over Platforms
Act and this requires app stores to determine
a user's age category so not exactly age
but age category.
They'll be kind of like a PG-13
RX rating Then we have of course the
Can you stop a second here with this?
What kind of apps are we talking about?
Say I have an RSS reader Do I
have to verify somebody's age because it's an
RSS reader?
Not yet Are we specifically what kind of
apps?
It makes no sense to me that I
should or I have a word processor and
who gives a crap how old a person
is one way or the other?
Obviously all of this is ridiculous because it
all points to one thing it all points
to why don't we just make it easy
everybody and give everybody a digital ID and
then when the app pops up or you
want to use it or a website or
whatever it is, you have to scan the
QR code and then your phone with your
digital ID will determine if you can or
the app side or the website side.
This is going to happen it's a foregone
conclusion and it's happening worldwide and it won't
all be one system so you have the
Kids Online Safety Act that's the big one
but there they're putting the the responsibility on
the quote-unquote platforms.
We have the Safer Gaming Act which is
similar but it allows the FTC to sue
video game companies.
See this is where it gets kind of
interesting when you put the the liability and
responsibility on the platforms Oh you mean like
they should do with vaccines?
Just wondering why don't they do I think
in those terms.
They're preaching to the choir here obviously but
this is what's happening and the PSYOP is
so obvious It's completely bullcrap It's good though
you have to give them, come on they
got the numbers those are magic numbers, the
angel number I think is in there.
Is 764 an angel number?
I think it is yeah I think it
is but the whole thing is just like
it's just scambola written all over it in
terms of it's they get some poor girl
chewing her hair okay well you know fabulous
that's the best we can get here Seeing
angel number 764 frequently means that your guardian
angels are trying to communicate with you they're
reminding you to stay on track.
Trying to protect you by getting digital ID
yeah what is 764 divided by 33 23151
that's nothing, that's no good that's no good
but Kash Patel he's he's right there leading,
he's the one oh 764 it's not even,
it's just a meme as far as I'm
concerned, there's no network and then they show
these like artwork, obvious AI generated 764 with
dripping blood yeah now the question is will
we have to have an age verification for
our podcasts eventually I think it will happen
well it's gonna be it's gonna be hard
eventually now the other piece of information since
our podcast actually in many ways can be
traced to Europe yeah the likelihood of it
happening because of the European servers is higher
I think possibly than if it was American
based possibly but I mean it still weighs
off it's a ways off but it's coming
it's past the 4 year limit it's all
coming but then while all this is going
on did you hear of core 5 I
couldn't find a single report by the way
from America, from Britain from your anybody only
India News and WION which is just so
bad I have 2 clips no I have
2 clips I've decided to start doing this
again which is getting the run downs from
the beginning they're less than 2 minutes, they're
both short but it's the run down there's
a point to be made by them but
the 2 clips will also I don't want
to play them now but I'm just going
to say when you play them it will
also not bring any of this, any of
the kind of news that we uncover from
Times of India which is about us the
mainstream media just refuses to cover it the
thing about this is it went to a
couple of different websites Defense One, I think
we both read Defense One let me just
tell you what the story is, because I
believe this to be true there was a
longer version of the national security strategy document
the one that I read right and the
longer version which was obtained by Defense One
and a couple other people got it goes
into more detail and reaffirms a withdrawal from
Europe's defense realignment with culturally aligned allies and
the creation of a new power block to
replace western dominated forums such as the G7
which Trump has complained about and this will
be Core 5 or C5 and it will
include America, Russia, China India and Japan and
each of those countries has its own region
of the world that you'd kind of be
responsible for and at the same time the
document apparently calls for Austria, Hungary Italy and
Poland to exit the European Union that part
I'm not so sure I'm not so sure
if that really was in there but the
idea of C5, Core 5 I think that's
totally real and this was that would make
sense, it's a good idea that would be
a great trading block and I'm sure it's
high quality products with the exception of India
maybe best price best price yeah cheap goods
yeah I think it's and I'm sure the
correct supply chains I mean it's like that
I keep remarking you bought one of these
too which is that ridiculous knife from Japan
oh yeah that thing's amazing with this 67
fold yeah 49 bucks 49 bucks of course
it was on sale but even when at
the full price which because I've seen these
things years ago when the ratio the yen
wasn't devalued to such an extreme and that
knife is typically was typically $250 wow really
that much they used to have them in
some of the Japanese stores around here I
never bought one I always admired them but
I never bought one because of the ridiculous
price it's like I can't afford this $250
knife but 49 bucks I can afford that
although it's better if people donated in the
show I have to mention that so this
longer version of the national security strategy document
incorporates themes of cultural revival traditional values and
religious identity alongside a reassessment of US global
obligations and I think this was leaked on
purpose what?
of course it was leaked on purpose and
it's shaken everybody in their boots I want
to do the rundowns but first I have
to play a couple of clips from my
boy because he just went off and I'm
now thinking that Mark Rutte may have been
cut out or something he went off the
rails at the Munich security conference he's been
going a little more off the rails every
time we've listened to him here we go
I'm here today to tell you where NATO
stands and what we must do to stop
a war before it starts this is literally
his keynote at the beginning and what we
must do to stop a war before it
starts and to do that we need to
be crystal clear about this we are Russia's
next target and we are already in harm's
way we're already in harm's way everybody get
under your bed when I became NATO's secretary
general last year I warned that what is
happening in Ukraine could happen to allied countries
too that we had to shift to a
wartime mindset this year we took the big
decisions to make NATO stronger at the summit
in The Hague allies agreed to invest 5
% of GDP annually in defence by 2035
we agreed to increase defence production across the
alliance and we agreed to continue our support
to Ukraine but this is not the time
for self-congratulation what?
this is not the time for self-congratulation
for what?
we did it we got the 5%
this is not the time for self-congratulation
which is a total dutchism by the way
but this is not the time for self
-congratulation I fear that too many are quietly
complacent oh no!
too many don't feel the urgency and too
many believe that time is on our side
it is not it is not the time
for action is now the time for action
is now allied defence spending and production must
rise rapidly our armed forces must have what
they need to keep us safe and Ukraine
must have what it needs to defend itself
now!
he has a new sales pitch I'm not
even sure he's working for Trump I think
he's just straight up working for the military
industrial complex and they have some boots on
the ground to back that up so now
his new pitch is hey Russia is spending
a lot, if you don't spend you get
behind Ambassador I understand the question of course
I am aware of fair stages of all
the discussions I cannot go into all the
details but what I was talking about was
primarily focusing on making sure that whatever the
military power of the Russians and at this
moment that's considerable given their extreme investments now
in defence total defence budget 200 billion dollars
and with their purchasing power that's about the
same as the whole of European NATO is
spending on defence in terms of purchasing power
so it's really a lot of money what
is your purchasing power?
and they don't have all the bureaucracy we
have so they can because he's a dictator
take the decisions quickly, easily move to this
wartime economy as they have done wartime economy?
and that's why they are posing a threat
immediately and what we need to do with
the security guarantees first of all is to
make sure that they will never try again
by knowing that our reaction will be as
I said devastating that's now the prime focus
say what?
it sounds coked up so here's his final
pitch, it comes at the end but it's
worth it we are all now intimately aware
of the geography of Ukraine, we all know
what Pokrovsk is in Donbass in Donetsk and
that small city of 60,000 people they
started to onslaught on that city in the
summer of 2024 it is now the end
of 2025 they still have not captured it
and in the meantime on this front line
they are losing last month 25,000 people
getting killed if you have a dictator willing
to do this he's a dictator willing to
do this because you have this crazy idea
of some historical whatever he has it's some
historical whatever he has it's just some what
he's trying to say is he wants the
old USSR back you know then you have
to be very careful and we have to
stand ready and that's why stand ready, are
you standing ready John?
are you standing ready?
you know the founding city for modern Russia?
Saint Petersburg?
Kiev it is crucial that the biggest economy
in Europe and that is Germany with it's
enormous power has decided in already and then
with Chancellor when this government was formed in
March even before the government was formed on
the leadership of now Chancellor Merz to make
this extraordinary investment here it comes I know
also in Germany some people are questioning do
we really need to do this?
I'm going to tell you something right now
I'm going to threaten you if you don't
put the money into the weapons of war
in this war economy you'll see what will
happen if you love the German language and
you do not want to speak Russian it
is crucial because otherwise this guy will not
stop with Ukraine that's I think what we
have to be very watchful of so if
you don't pay up do you like speaking
German?
because otherwise you'll be speaking Russian what is
going on here?
you know I think that Trump and the
whoever is running the country I'm referring back
to C5 it has a sense that Europe
is so screwed that we really have to
get out of there well especially with the
most recent development after months of political wrangling
and a flurry of criticisms issued by US
President Donald Trump last week, European leaders have
come out with a strong response in an
audacious move the European Union have decided to
indefinitely immobilize Russian assets held in EU countries
worth a whopping 210 billion euros an emergency
clause in the treaties was triggered the total
is 210 billion 90 is at euro clear
worth a whopping 210 billion euros an emergency
clause in the treaties was triggered this week
to freeze the overseas holdings owned by the
Russian Central Bank.
The measure comes just days after Trump labeled
Europe a quote, decaying continent and called its
leaders weak with one bold move, the bloc
was able to push back against external interference
and insulate the large sum of money from
the Kremlin's war machine the bulk of the
assets, some 185 billion euros are held at
euro clear, a central securities depository in Brussels
the remaining 25 billion are spread in banks
across five other EU member states.
Until now the funds have been paralyzed under
the traditional sanction scheme which requires renewal by
unanimous vote among the member states biannually so
that's about the dumbest thing they could have
done, of course Russia is now suing euro
clear and probably the European Union because by
saying, hey it's indefinitely frozen there was a
well it was frozen anyway but it had
to be renewed every six months yeah but
it was still frozen but if you listen
to that report carefully, he made it sound
as though that was money being used by
the Russians in their war effort yeah which
I don't think is true well it can't
be true no it's just a bunch of
money that's over there that's frozen that was
trusted it went to a trusted source yeah
and that source is no longer trusted no
the source is no longer trusted what kind
of idea is that?
how does that improve things?
well I think remember they so Ukraine is
out of money they're out of money, they
need 60 or 70 billion euros like right
now so that's why Queen Ursula put the
two week deadline in place with the two
options, either we go raise this money in
the public markets or we take the Russians
money and they could not get the 27
state member bloc to all agree on taking
the money so somewhere in the treaties which
would be the Lisbon treaty I guess somewhere
in the fine print it says well you
know if we declare an emergency just like
we do over here terrorism or whatever international
we can do tariffs because of terrorism whatever
so the fine print said you can then
evoke this emergency and then you can do
whatever you want and now that's exactly what
the European commission has done and Euroclear hates
it, Belgium hates it particularly because Belgium has
not gotten a full protection it's like yeah
we'll protect you in most cases but you
know if you get Russian boots we're not
going to do anything for you so that's
a mess at the same last night at
this dinner I spoke again to my buddy
my new friend from the department of war
now he's a younger guy so he's in
his 40s I've talked about him before yeah
he's becoming a regular on the show well
the problem with him is because he's younger
he's really careful you can see him painfully
just with his head down when I ask
a question he says I've got to think
about how I can answer that I've got
clearance it's okay you can tell me he
wasn't buying that at all so I started
off I said hey how's that genai.mil
doing thinking I would break the ice he
says that thing is just complete utter bull
crap he says what we're really dealing with
now remember he's in the modern like the
next generation warfare testing department I think that's
what it is something good he says we
have this new procurement process which is what
Hegseth announced no longer are we going to
spend billions of dollars and overrun by 100
billion and have something take 10 years before
we can finally put it into the battlefield
no we start testing going into the battlefield
right away and he says I see the
inputs I see the output so I know
that the commands we give this stuff he
was a little unclear but I'll get to
that we give the commands and then the
stuff does it he says but I am
unable to see what's in the middle I
said what do you mean what's in the
middle genai.mil he says no Palantir I
said oh oh yeah we can't look inside
to see it how it actually works and
I said I said so this is about
drones he said and I think I followed
it by saying man Ukraine must be great
for you guys and I think he kind
of he went beyond what he should have
said he said there's never been a better
place to test new stuff and I said
this must be a great sales job and
he starts laughing and so then we get
back to the drones and he says the
big thing now is that all these drones
are tethered because of the the little wire
he says in Ukraine alone half of Ukraine
is strewn with these wires thousands of miles
of fiber optic cable yeah there's one yeah
fiber yeah I know you know so they're
on these long there's pictures of it it's
just piles and piles of glass and so
and then he said and this is for
our here's a tip early tip of the
day for you entrepreneurial producers out there he
says now everywhere we test this stuff unless
it's Ukraine so we have to figure out
how to clean it all up and he
actually said this is a great business opportunity
for anybody who starts a company cleaning up
these thousands of miles of fiber optic cables
from testing all this new stuff so there's
a tip there's strands not cables yeah strands
and I said well shouldn't we have drones
with big scissors on them or something you
can fly in and snip them end of
conversation and then you got silly I know
I ruined it I got silly what was
I thinking about so I think that this
is all remember the people the problem the
reason they started doing that with the fiber
optic strands and running it for miles they're
just literally miles and miles long is because
they haven't come up with the drone technology
that will defeat the Russian jamming that was
the whole reason to do it because the
jammers would send things over into a building
or they'd just make a mess and so
they had well what are we going to
do about well let's have hard wire the
damn things okay this is like an idiotic
answer to the problem yes I mean they
could also make them autonomous but think about
what's really happening this is all the military
industrial complex who are the biggest lobbyers in
any government around the world I'm sure half
the European Union is in their pocket and
we know that half of our own congress
is in their pocket through APAC and so
if you look at and others but indirectly
through APAC if you look at the the
new national defense authorization act which I have
been reading and it hasn't passed so you
know the senate has it and who knows
what's going to happen there are multiple provisions
for directed energy capabilities in particular high power
microwave systems to neutralize drone swarms so they're
creating the problem oh look we got drones
and like oh now we need to have
anti drone technology it's a game it's a
big game it really is that NDAA is
pretty funny though we got lots of alien
stuff coming up we see we have non
human intelligence needs to be recognized as sentient
intelligent non human life forms maybe presumed responsible
for unidentified anomalous phenomena and we need to
have a steering committee on that laughing laughing
it's so good mandatory disclosure yes we have
to have how many times have we had
a disclosure I've seen it so many times
now and space force special ops now space
force special ops because you know I have
a point to make here with a couple
of clips and it does kind of it
applies to your C5 which sounds more like
an explosive well it's one better than C4
yes laughing it goes to 11 so and
these are the NBC this is the two
I was going to ask you a question
so I decided to do the rundown so
just pick up the rundowns from this news

Nightly News with Tom Yamas good job Tom
good read, good read that was really great,
good intro alright everybody, get set after the
commercial so they of course just start off
in that order of the stories, it's interesting
enough but, can I just say there's a
million things that's not in there and the
thing, domestically at least, you'd think there'd be
at least a mention of the multi-billion
dollar scandal of the Somalis stealing money from
the people of Minnesota, and the United States
government you see, if you listen to these
reports, and I'm curious for your Saturday rundown,
all that it is is things that could

going, because you don't want to go, oh
I can't listen to this, hey I could
actually be 141 and win a ski medal
I could become an Olympic athlete it's so
obvious, they've studied this they know, they know
what keeps retention, they've got the smart TV's,
it's not news, well no it's entertainment, in
fact the woman spraying the food order, they
have a video of it from a Ring
door cam, and it's like, it's not, it's
okay well that's, is that network level national
news?
Gambling?
Gambling anybody?
I mean, it's like stupid, meanwhile there's a
billion dollars in fraud by a bunch of
Somalis, yeah but what about Israel man?
and in fact they don't even mention that
either and they, I mean of course the
shooting in Australia that's Wall to Wall Wall
to Wall, it could happen to you Jew,
that's what it is, well actually the Wall
to Wall which was annoying was the Brown
shooting, because they showed on Fox, they bumped
everything and they just kept having the same
report which went like this, so Bill what
do you know?
Well we don't know anything yet but we
do have a couple of people here that
can theorize on it, let me ask them
what do you know Bill?
Nothing, we got nothing, hour later, what do
you know?
Nothing, we got nothing, it's going to be
a press conference, then they're going to tell
them they know nothing it's bull crap and
so let's go to Saturday, yes and here's
the Saturday, this is yesterday's rundown.
Breaking news, the active shooter incident at Brown
University, school officials alerting students to lock their
doors, silence their phones and take cover for
late developments just in also breaking the deadly
attack on American troops in the Middle East,
two army soldiers and a civilian interpreter killed
in an attack in Syria according to the
Pentagon, in what officials say was likely an
ISIS ambush, tonight President Trump's warning the U
.S. will retaliate, tens of millions on alert
for snow and arctic cold, whiteout conditions in
some areas causing massive pylons, jackknife trucks and
traffic backed up for miles, where this is
headed next and the sub-zero temperatures tonight,
newly released 911 calls from that deadly UPS
plane crash in Kentucky the sky's black the
plane just crashed hear from the witnesses who
called in just moments after the flight went
down, inside the secret mission to get Venezuela's
opposition leader out of the country and after
accepting a Nobel Peace Prize what is Maria
Corina Machado's vision for the future skiing superstar
Lindsey Vonn, keeping up her comeback for the
ages, how she finished in her second day
at the World Cup, plus a comeback of
another kind, as online shopping sets records this
holiday season, why those big catalogs we all
used to get in the mail are making
a return, and there's good news tonight, about
hundreds of people stepping up, and lighting up
the night, to spread holiday cheer, and there's
good news this is NBC News with Jose
Diaz you nailed the formula, yeah of course,
what can happen, what bad things can happen
to you starts us off it could be
anywhere in the world, but it's generally what
bad things can happen, followed by somebody succeeding
the Lindsey Vonn, why are they doing a
Lindsey Vonn twice and they still haven't mentioned
the scandal in Minnesota they haven't mentioned this,
not on the news, it's not covered, but
they have Lindsey Vonn twice in a row
two days in a row, but you see,
you have to understand this is our opportunity
right now, while every, so mainstream is doing
that the alternative media, all the alternative media
is doing is denouncing each other, denouncing Israel,
denouncing Turning Point USA meanwhile, people tune in
to the No Agenda show to get a
little bit deeper information, you know like how
Russia's going to attack Europe how the core
five is being set up and you know
what you're not going to hear that ever
until it's officially announced, they're not going to
do it it's not interesting and by the
way that is why we just get by
on this show, because we know how to
do it you are the master of trolling
audience, you are the master you did it
for years, Mac sucks oh, actually quite interesting
what they've done over there at Apple Mac
is horrible, I mean you were the master
of it but it doesn't fit the format
even what you used to do is no
longer any good so we just kind of
get into stuff we tell people what's happening
in the world we deconstruct the news and
what is today, today is the 14th, yes
so there is one more day but I
tend to keep track of things you know
how people say, well that didn't age well
I always love that because I've done a
lot of those like, well Currie that didn't
age well but let me go back to
just two weeks ago, on this very show
urgent intelligence alert with flashing lights emojis NCTC
National Counter Terrorism Center confirms Al Qaeda presence
on U.S. soil, imminent multi-city Islamic
terror attacks so now we have Laura Loomer
we have Laura Logan, we have Alex Jones
we have General Flynn it all kind of
comes down to the sleeper cells and she
says this sources tell me tonight that the
National Counter Terrorism Center has officially determined that
Islamic terrorists affiliated with Al Qaeda have infiltrated
U.S. soil and are actively planning a
series of coordinated Islamic terror attacks this marks
the first time federal counter terrorism officials have
openly acknowledged the immediacy of such threats signaling
a potential escalation of domestic jihadist activity not
seen since the height of ISIS-inspired plots
in the mid-2010s she goes on and
on and on my sources tell me the
attack strategy by Al Qaeda is designed to
sow confusion and cripple emergency response these terrorists
have been purchasing large quantities of police and
first responder uniforms from surplus outlets and online
vendors in at least five states these acquisitions
trace through bulk credit card anomalies and CCTV
footage suggests a plan to impersonate law enforcement
during the assaults, allowing attackers to blend in,
direct panic crowds or even execute secondary strikes
on fleeing victims and we're back and I
should add to that that Candace Owens also
said this and she actually said this tweet
will age well and here on your No
Agenda show, when we hear this kind of
thing we just play a jingle because
we've been here before, we've heard it all,
we've seen it all it's all a hoax
all of it all of it it's all
a big hoax it's amazing the Epstein thing
of course was a very weak weak attempt
well let me play the Epstein I actually
have the Epstein NBC report that came right
after Tom Yamas got it pushed it to
the top and good evening, we begin tonight
with those stunning new images from Jeffrey Epstein's
estate, the photos are a glimpse into his
high flying world featuring presidents billionaires and celebrities
stop the clip for a second people have
to realize that they're showing all these, you
know, the pictures that were released by Congress
or by the Democrats there is nothing in
these pictures, no, zero they're boring actually they're
just like a bunch of, it's like anybody's
roll from their digital camera, it's just stuff
the pictures were released by Congressional Democrats and
President Trump just responded to them moments ago
from the Oval Office I did like the
insinuation of the sex toy pictures did you
see those?
no, they didn't show them on this report,
I haven't seen them there were a couple
of reports that a picture of some sex
toys in boxes, you know, like anal intruder
and it was a glove with all kinds
of ribbed fingers and stuff and I'm thinking
to myself I would say 350 million Americans
whatever, it's got to be 100 million Americans
who are going, oh crap I got that
one too, you know it's like, what are
you trying to do?
what is this trying to tell us?
one photo shows the president from years ago,
pictured with six women whose faces have been
redacted other photos show several high profile men,
you see them here including Bill Gates, Richard
Branson and Woody Allen, along with this photo
of former President Bill Clinton that appears to
be signed by him did you see the
pictures at all?
there's a guy that looks exactly like Ron
Bloom who says it wasn't him?
next to Branson who says it wasn't him?
Branson and Woody Allen along with this photo
of former President Bill Clinton that appears to
be signed by him, showing him with Epstein
and Ghislaine Maxwell the White House blasting the
release tonight saying House Democrats are trying to
create a false narrative, and we should note
these images do not appear to show anything
illegal, but it all comes while the clock
is ticking ahead of next week's deadline for
the Justice Department to release their Epstein files
Ryan Noble starts us off tonight from Capitol
Hill.
Wow, he's going to start us off, well
I'm very excited about this report now, what
can we expect?
I can tell you what to expect what
you just heard exactly the same stuff, here
we go!
Tonight, a new trove of photos trove, is
it trove?
trove, trove revealing more proof of the convicted
sex offender's relationship with several powerful men.
These pictures, some of these photos?
Hold on a sec, do we need more
proof?
I guess we already know that this is
what's new here, in this report?
Nothing.
Nothing, but we're still going to listen to
two minutes of it so, let's go!
with several powerful men.
Powerful.
These pictures, some of these photos are really
disturbing.
These images, part of a tranche of more
than 90 It's very disturbing that there's nothing
implicating anybody in any of them 5,000
undated photos handed over to the House Oversight
Committee and released by Democrats they do not
appear to show any illegal activity.
One shows Epstein with a younger President Donald
Trump and an unidentified woman Trump also appears
in other pictures without Epstein, but with women
whose identities are protected by the committee Trump
has denied...
I hate to interrupt actually, I don't, obviously
No, it's what we do Would you call
a younger President Trump?
Was he President then, 25, 30 years ago?
They always call him Trump or Mr. Trump,
but in this case a younger President Trump
Yeah, they always, right, they always call him
Mr. Trump even when he's, currently they're discussing
it, but now that he's with a picture
of Epstein and some blonde who's got a
big smile on her face who they never
identify they say the younger President Trump it's
like, no, he's not younger President Trump he
wasn't President 30 years ago No Ah, we
continue Trump has denied knowing anything about Epstein's
criminal activity See, then they don't call him
President Trump, it's just Trump He has photos
with everybody I mean, almost, there are hundreds
and hundreds of people that have photos with
him so that's no big deal, I know
nothing about The committee also releasing this photo
of Epstein in a bathtub and this one,
a signed photo of Bill Clinton with Epstein
By the way, the bathtub photo, I'm like
that's a pretty normal looking bathtub Yeah, he's
just in the bathtub, so what?
Like a two bedroom apartment Oh my God,
he's taking a bath, that's not right A
signed photo of Bill Clinton with Epstein and
his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell Clinton has said in
the past that he wished he'd never met
Epstein There are also new photos of Epstein
with one-time Trump ally, Steve Bannon The
two posing for a mirror selfie Ah, we're
taking Bannon down In another of the tweets
there was a picture on a desk of
a woman who appears to be passed out
in a bathtub Other powerful people like billionaires
Bill Gates and Richard Branson are in the
photos as is film director Woody Allen In
one picture, Allen and Epstein are on a
movie set Bannon, Gates, Branson, and Allen did
not respond to NBC News requests for comment
These photos are separate from the evidence held
by the Department of Justice Congress voted to
force the DOJ to release that material a
week from today and congressional leaders are warning
the administration better comply This is a new
law with criminal implications if they don't follow
it And Ryan, walk our viewers through the
timeline now Should we expect more releases like
this in the near future?
Yes, Tom, we should expect a steady stream
of releases just like this one The committee,
of course, in possession of more than 95
,000 Epstein photos and they also have access
to a trove of bank documents which they
expect to release in the very near future
Alright, I can top this Now, by the
way, don't you agree that the second report
was identical to Tom Yama's rundown?
Because why fill anything?
This is what they do, all these news
networks do the same thing They give you
what they're going to talk about And then
they talk about it And then they talk
about it in the same manner that they
told you that they're going to It's just
like, what is this, is this third grade?
They could have spent some time on the
billions of dollars filched from the American taxpayer
by the Somalis, I'm telling you And they
won't touch it It's so much more interesting
Instead, I think your representative Dave Min from
California Dave Min, are you familiar with Min?
I think he's Asian Dave Min I don't
know who he is, he's from LA probably
Yeah So he comes on What show was
this?
I can't remember what show this was I
think it was CNN And he's talking about
the photo of the Trump condom Which You
know, if you look at it, it was
obviously from the long period where Epstein hated
Trump It was like a novelty gift, because
it has Trump's face on it and underneath
the letters It's huge Okay So that's all
we're seeing And listen to how this numbskull
positions it It's great I do want to
get your thoughts on one photo in particular
and hope that you can give us some
more detail This image shows a bowl of
novelty condoms with a caricature of Donald Trump's
face on it.
Can you tell us who took this picture,
when it was taken if there's any context
that you can provide about this I think
we're still working through the details, so we're
trying to learn that information as well as
the identities and ages We're trying to work
through that information, learning the identities and ages
of the young women he was standing around
The six women whose faces were covered up
We may not necessarily release all that information
No, of course you won't But again, I
think that photo which was clearly like a
gag saying it's huge with Donald Trump's photo
on these condom packages just illustrated the very
buddy-buddy nature of the relationship between Trump
and Epstein The very buddy-buddy nature Did
he say buddy-buddy or fuddy-buddy?
Buddy-buddy The very buddy-buddy nature We've
seen lots of other indicators of how close
they are The question that I think a
lot of Americans want to know and a
lot of the survivors want to know was
Donald Trump someone who actually broke the law
did he rape children What?
We know of course one girl now a
woman Did Donald Trump rape children?
Filed a lawsuit accusing Donald Trump of raping
her when she was 13 or 14 years
old I believe that that was since taken
back She withdrew the lawsuit under threat She
claimed that she was being threatened, her family
was being threatened But he raped her Everyone
in this country has the presumption of innocence
until proven guilty But we all know he
raped her I am pointing out however that
someone did file a claim in a court
of laws saying that Donald Trump had raped
her when she was 13 I think the
question that a lot of us want to
know who else is involved how many people
are involved in this network and we know
that the cover-up goes all the way
to the top It's been a high-level
cover-up for decades and decades under both
Republican and Democratic administrations Oh brother That's California
for you Yeah, that's what makes the state
so charming Yes It's extremely charming Particularly Southern
California if he's from Los Angeles It's a
beautiful thing It's just beautiful I never lived
in Southern California but you did I did,
yes, I barely lasted a full year It
was so bad Really, it was just horrible
I did not like it at all Everybody,
especially Los Angeles Everybody Who are you?
What can I get out of you?
Who are you connected to?
Can you get me an audition?
That's basically it I'd love to hear I
have this morning's interview with Maria Carina Machado
but before we do that I'd love to
get some of your Venezuela clips played This
is kind of a rundown on It starts
off with a WTF clip which is WTF,
clearly We're going to be focusing on Venezuela
The latest news is that last night on
Wednesday the US government released a video of
US forces basically seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker
and the pictures are remarkable It's amazing that
you can see this much of a military
operation happening in the ocean There's video of
US forces rappelling out of a helicopter on
ropes to land on the top of this
massive oil tanker and then guns drawn they're
marching towards the cabin where the crew are
You can see them basically taking the ship
There's about 10 of them land on it
It's really, really remarkable to be able to
watch Are you kidding me?
The Houthis was 10 times better I didn't
know it was better produced but it brought
to mind something I didn't consider Who was
taking this video?
This is like the moon landing videos where
the thing takes off and the camera follows
it up Who's running the camera?
I think it was from another helicopter, I
think No, it was stationary Because I saw
these videos over and over No, it wasn't
from another helicopter It was a stationary camera
on the boat taking pictures of these guys
jumping off their chopper onto the boat Rappelling,
John, they were rappelling Jumping So they're rappelling
onto the boat and I was thinking about
it when this guy was going on and
on and on about it on the BBC
I'm thinking, wait a minute, it is kind
of fishy No, it wasn't as well produced,
overproduced as the one you're talking about The
Houthis video was great They had them busting
in The point is still, who took the
movie?
Somebody on the boat Some guy with his
cam Look what's happening here Instead of running
for cover, he's standing there taking a movie?
What kind of a moron is that?
No, there's something fishy about this takeover So
that got my attention, that's why I became
a WTF critic You're not doing it right
Take a page from Candace Owen, you're supposed
to say I don't know, just kind of
weird vibes about who took this video footage
Isn't that interesting?
I'm just saying We're just asking questions I'm
not going to be able to get to
that type of presentation, or I'll be making
her money So this was all part of
a BBC report that was on one of
their it was on their service, World Service
and it was also on one of their
podcasts but here we go with the whole
thing, part two And that was released shortly
after Donald Trump told us that they had
seized this ship and said that the US
was probably going to keep the oil As
you probably know, we've just seized a tanker
on the coast of Venezuela Largest tanker Largest
one ever seized actually and other things are
happening so you'll be seeing that later and
you'll be talking about that later with some
other people What happens to the oil on
this ship?
Well we keep it I guess Well you
have to follow the tanker You're a good
newsman, just follow the tanker Follow it Get
a helicopter, follow the tanker But we're going
to I guess soon we're going to keep
the oil The biggest It had to be
the biggest ever, didn't it?
The seizure, but if you thought that was
a kind of slightly peculiar Trump-esque reaction
to what had happened listen to the Venezuelan
president who was every bit as strange, here's
Nicolas Maduro Don't worry Be happy La la
la la la la la Don't worry Be
happy Wait a minute This is Maduro?
Yeah, you didn't see that?
No, in fact He had his sombrero on
He had this long Hawaiian-like shirt He
started singing That reminds us of a classic
Don't worry Be happy Don't worry Be happy
But Putin did a great job The Maduro,
he really needs to work on his diction
Let's go back, that was good The biggest,
it had to be the biggest ever Didn't
it?
The seizure, but if you thought that was
a kind of slightly peculiar Trump-esque reaction
to what had happened listen to the Venezuelan
president who was every bit as strange Here's
Nicolas Maduro Don't worry Be happy La la
la la la la Don't worry Be happy
La la la la la la Ahh, just
peace Not war Peace Just peace, not war
In Spanish immediately before he broke into song
He was saying To American citizens who are
against the war I respond with a very
famous song Now, the U.S. has not
actually declared war on Venezuela at this point
and said that they had seized that oil
tanker because it was transporting sanctioned oil from
Venezuela and Iran as part of an illicit
oil shipping network that the USS is supporting
foreign terrorist organizations because there are American sanctions
on oil from Venezuela so they say that
the ship was breaking them and that's why
it's been seized.
Yeah I mean it's fair to say most
Venezuelan oil goes to China doesn't it in
this day and age is not going elsewhere
in the world.
Listen to these agents these North Sea Nexus
agents trying to like make up the story
here this is very clear it's cut dry
what this is about the sanctions been going
on for years with multiple presidents and now
all of a sudden well you know by
the way I'm looking at that footage that
was from a US helicopter it's not stationary
it's taken from a helicopter.
Well maybe no whatever the case for sure
well still seems okay well good for them
taking pictures of themselves the back to this
this thing it was the ship that was
sanctioned.
Yes not the oil no the oil is
just the Benny.
We had it on our show 900 ships
are in this category to be seized.
And I think there's if I from what
I've read there's about six more that are
in imminent threat of being seized like immediately.
Well you know yeah it's a lot of
free oil yeah yeah like talking between 50
and 50 million dollars a boatload as good
more or less yeah it's crappy it's a
crappy it's a real it's a crumb it's
a crummy oil we should mention.
Don't you have to mix that oil?
No it's not that bad it's pretty bad
though it's it's a it's a sour heavy
sour oil that the typical Brent type oil
that comes from under the water hmm as
opposed to land-based oils like West Texas
which is the some of the finest oil.
Yes yes black gold Texas tea.
I was looking into this by the way
and the best oil in the world in
terms of like pure it's like you pump
it out it's basically diesel fuel you can
put it in a truck.
Where's that?
Algerian Saharan crude hmm it's got almost no
sulfur almost no sulfur and the API which
is the measure of the of the viscosity
basically the AP and the higher the number
the better is the highest hmm and it
sounds like it's very similar to me it
reminds me when I was an air pollution
inspector in refineries or my thing we had
a little refinery that was shuttered some years
ago called the Pacific refinery that got some
sort of Bolivian crude oil that was similar
and it they didn't even need a desulfurization
of facility at the at the refinery which
is unbelievable little tidbit there for you oil
and gas guy yes yes this is dynamite
insight it's not insight it's a fact all
right we go to BBC three but it
appears to be a ship that at least
in theory was at one stage coming from
Iran which obviously is also subject to sanctions
and I mean it may well be that
all of that is true and that it
is sanctioned but it's still a very big
deal isn't it not just because of stealing
the oil and putting it somewhere but more
much more importantly what it stealing the oil
what did he say not just stealing the
oil we're not stealing the oil he said
stealing the oil and putting it somewhere very
big deal isn't it not just because of
stealing the oil and putting it somewhere but
well considering it's Brits yeah they probably deem
that their oil their money you're stealing our
money yes I'm sure that these people are
in on it much more importantly what it
says about you know the ability of Venezuela
to continue to do business in the modern
world without Donald Trump putting more pressure Wow
I think that's the question isn't it Sarah's
is this are we talking about a gradual
ratcheting up towards something or not yes I
think we are a little bit of background
our America says will be very well aware
that there have been over 20 u.s.
strikes now on boats that America says is
smuggling cocaine to America from Venezuela there has
been CIA covert actions sanctioned inside the country
according to Donald Trump and a huge build
-up of military forces in the region as
well at both land and sea forces and
Donald Trump muses every so often about the
possibility of a land invasion and so I
think we don't know exactly what he's going
to do but I think we do know
what his aim is and that is regime
change he wants Nicolás Maduro out in Venezuela
and he doesn't like him he's a far
-left ruler who's no friend of the United
States no friend of Donald Trump does most
of his business with China and Trump has
decided he wants to get rid of him
I don't know if he has decided whether
he's prepared to go to war to do
it but I think he's prepared to use
a fair amount of American muscle to see
how much pressure it will take to topple
Maduro who was that speaking on with such
authority one of the BBC women I think
it's a woman it can't tell it could
be a guy if you think about it
hmm but they some sort of you know
I think they cited her she's a Middle
East or not a Middle East is Latin
America expert was that clip three or four
that was three okay because there's a clip
five is a interesting one but let's go
to four and to those who think they've
spotted a bit of a flaw in Donald
Trump's logic so on the one hand he's
telling the world we don't care what you
do we're not interested in regime change anymore
we're not even interested in whether you pursue
human rights so you don't pursue human rights
you just do what you want to do
he made that famous speech didn't he I
think you were there sir in Saudi Arabia
a really cogent speech I thought actually that
set out Trumpism and of course more more
recently we've had the national security document that
they put out the course so much upset
in Europe basically saying you know the world
should get on with its business except he's
not doing that with Nicolás Maduro and as
you suggest there are kind of various reasons
why Maduro could be a target he's not
a Democrat in fact he'd be almost definitely
stole an election and he runs his country
incredibly badly and lots of people have to
leave that country lots of Venezuelans have left
the country we'll perhaps talk a bit more
about Venezuela in a second but there is
another reason isn't there why he would say
this fits with his overall view of the
world a view of the world that was
made very clear in that national security strategy
that was released last week Donald Trump believes
that the United States has a sphere of
influence in the Western Hemisphere and that basically
Central and South America ought to be if
not controlled by the United States that he
has the right to make sure that there
are regimes friendly they're doing business with the
United States and where he perceives there to
be any kind of enemy or opposition that
he has the right to interfere and to
intervene and that nobody else does he's making
it very clear that that this is America's
backyard a European or other foreign influence is
not welcome in any way whatsoever but that
he ought to be allowed to cast it
in his own image practically so we have
this pressure campaign against Maduro in Venezuela Wow
these people are flipping out they know cast
it in his own image what does that
even mean how does he do how does
he cast Latin America in his own image
what is that doesn't even make any sense
I'm looking at it through the North Sea
Nexus lens and you know right away I
mean they know that this is hurting them
they know it these people they know what
a minute well no of course not but
they know they just know through the milieu
that they're in you know that people they
talk to you know they talk to sources
no I think you're dead right you can
stay with that lens as far as I'm
concerned let's go to the kicker which is
the second the last clip we've seen him
interfere in Honduras where they are still in
the process of counting the results of a
very recent election at Donald Trump intervened in
that by saying he was backing the conservative
candidate and making threats that the u.s.
would stop funding and Honduras if his preferred
candidate didn't win and then of course he
released the former president as well he would
been serving a 45 year jail sentence in
America for drug smuggling he was pardoned by
Donald Trump and then if you look at
Argentina where his friend Millet is in charge
you see a very very friendly relations where
a 20 billion dollar loan has just been
issued to Argentina in a form of a
currency swap to help prop them up and
he says very simple about three months ago
port of things about Argentina so what is
making obvious is if you are America's friend
then you will do very well out of
this and if you are in opposition to
Donald Trump watch out yes did you hear
the little switcheroo she pulled there if you're
America's friend things are great but if you're
in opposition to Donald Trump wait a minute
oh yeah good catch let's hear it again
help prop them up and he says very
supportive things about Argentina so what is making
obvious is if you are America's friend then
you will do very well out of this
and if you are in opposition to Donald
Trump watch out oh yeah good catch I
thought that was a little low lobe that
was a little bit sleazy oh okay well
hiya gambling okay yeah I get it right
so now this by the way so this
is the last clip but this is a
guy this is taken a little later in
the thing this is an hour of this
same discussion so you can be thankful that
you've only got about 10 minutes max and
probably about eight but this little history thing
I thought was good because it adds a
this is the last clip I have it
adds a little dimensionality to what's really going
on the Roosevelt corollary which would have been
a comment when it was the beginning of
the last century when Teddy Roosevelt was around
that basically said not only must the Europeans
not interfere in the Western Hemisphere which is
what the Monroe Doctrine said but also America
exactly as you saying Sarah America takes to
itself the responsibility to interfere where it needs
to and and and that's I mean it's
fair to say this isn't new with Trump
I mean it's been the the Monroe Doctrine
and the Roosevelt corollary have been much acted
on you mentioned Honduras Honduras was the original
banana Republic and a lot of those bananas
if I'm almost all of them owned ultimately
by American firms and of course this whole
business of America's influence in Central America but
also leeching down into South America is nothing
new but there's also just this sense now
I suppose that with Trump the thing that
people thought might be different was that he
wouldn't actually involve himself even there might be
all sorts of rhetorical flourishes about those rules
this okay this is interesting I'm just gonna
stop it here for a second so as
part of what I see as an op
with the the POTO sphere is that this
is continuously being positioned as Trump foreign wars
he's a neocon you know why are we
doing this why are we why are we
in Venezuela why are we in Israel why
are the Middle East why are we so
they are read they keep positioning this away
from what I wish the president could just
come out and say it says look the
Brits suck and we're gonna we're gonna cut
him off at the knees and all of
the EU until they until they you know
get rid of all this dumb stuff they've
been doing to us for 250 years and
so they just keep countering with oh yeah
it's neocons and people like Tucker fall for
it because I'm instigates it I don't think
he falls for it I you give him
more credit than I do I don't think
he's that smart I think he just talks
to people that he admires he has dinners
the wires Tucker mr.
Tucker I do think you're right I have
a different opinion of him than you do
okay we continue I think he's a little
more you proactive and sneaky hmm then you
do you think it's just a function of
his idiotic surroundings well we saw him on
Fox and we were always miles ahead of
him and then all of a sudden you
know oh the Fox was the Fox show
is completely written yeah by you know staff
and it was like he was just happy
to be there yeah anyway let's keep going
I can Maduro would come into that category
oh by the way stop the guy says
he says the theater Roosevelt I think the
word is corollary but he has his collar
he says colliery Collier says crazy I don't
know that the British pronounce it that way
maybe I think he may be Roosevelt the
thing that people thought might be different was
that he wouldn't actually involve himself even there
might be all sorts of rhetorical flourishes about
those rulers he didn't like a Maduro would
come into that category but nobody thought he'd
actually well I think a lot of his
supporters didn't think because he said that he
wasn't interested in getting involved in any more
foreign wars and even if he does think
that South America is America's backyard you know
it's very definitely foreign and we've yet to
see if he does have any interest in
putting boots on the ground to support these
policies even though there has been this huge
build-up of forces most of whom are
stationed in Puerto Rico at the moment they
could be there as a threat rather than
an imminent invasion force but this is not
just because Donald Trump thinks that he ought
to control the policies of other countries this
is absolutely rooted in American self-interest so
he would argue that this is about America
first yes okay so they understood they do
understand it they do at that level yes
okay so I want to bring in Maria
Karina Machado and this whole thing is just
so interestingly intertwined in his case not coincidence
so we actually had ex-special forces smuggle
her out of Venezuela with you know with
zodiacs in the ocean and apparently you know
everybody was aware it was quite the mission
it's almost a movie yes it will be
a movie and and Ben Affleck will produce
it because he's their go-to guy for
now but a go-to guy for the
for the for the for the pickle farm
but it'll it'll only stream on Netflix there's
no more awards for you Matt I'm sorry
Ben Ben who knows so Maria wins the
Peace Prize she says Trump should have gotten
the Peace Prize Trump's like ah this is
a nice lady then all of a sudden
in the midst of all of this she's
smuggled out by ex-special forces with understanding
or perhaps we should say collusion well well
don't be if you listen that last report
from the BBC and then once before they
said that the CIA is already embedded in
Venezuela loves to be in South America they're
everywhere and so they're probably part of the
op that got her out so they got
her I only went there for that reason
for all we know got got her to
Oslo then you know she's like hey hello
my Venezuelan people she's on the balcony none
of this is by coincidence by the way
symbolically on the balcony like Julian Assange well
are also like Evita Peron good point Peron
I'm sorry yes don't cry for me Argentina
and and so now Margaret Brennan has Maria
Maria on the show this morning and I
think I may have a number of clips
but the first one may be enough help
us understand what is going on because we
are seeing here in the US an increase
in the pressure campaign more sanctions on Venezuelan
individuals and vessels we saw an armed seizure
of a vessel carrying oil out of Venezuela
selling oil on the black market is really
important money for the Maduro regime do you
endorse this idea of more seizures and possibly
even a blockade look I absolutely support President
Trump's strategy and we the Venezuelan people are
very grateful to him and to his administration
because I believe he is a champion of
freedom in this hemisphere and that's why and
I say this from Oslo right now I
have dedicated this award to him because I
think that he finally has put Venezuela in
where it should be in terms of a
priority for the United States national security and
we do support these actions because Margaret we
are facing not a conventional dictatorship this is
a very complex criminal structure that has turned
Venezuela into safe haven of international crime and
terrorist activities starting with Russia Iran Cuba Hezbollah
Hamas the Colombian guerrilla the drug cartels operating
freely and directed in partnership with Maduro and
his regime and as every criminal structure is
suffers is when the inflows from their criminal
activities are cut and these in the case
of Maduro regime comes from the oil black
market to drug trafficking gold smuggling arms smuggling
even human smuggling and trafficking there it is
it's all about the money that's what we're
doing we're cutting off the money and you're
gonna see you're gonna see this in Wall
Street liquidity is drying up because it literally
is being blown up in the ocean or
stolen it's so it's so clear to me
but Trump just wants foreign wars he's a
he's a neocon neocon so she she's in
on the game and she is the chosen
one well she's no slouch for knowing what
what side of the fence to be on
and how to do it it sounds like
you support more sanctions and possibly more seizures
of oil how could you be for Trump
this is wrong but isn't there a risk
that cutting off money will further hurt the
already impoverished people of Venezuela isn't that a
risk of course what we're doing is for
the well-being of the Venezuelan people what
we want to do is to save lives
but Maduro was the one who declared a
war on the Venezuelan people we didn't want
a war we are suffering with hundreds of
thousands of killings and enforced executions and in
the last years and right now I want
to be very clear with the international community
the resources Maduro gets are not going to
schools or hospitals in Venezuela teacher earns one
dollar a day pensions are less than $1
a month our children go twice a week
to school the sources the cash the regime
gets from these illegal activities goes to buy
arms to pay gang members to spy and
infiltrate and to even further increase their illegal
narcotics activities and so on so these resources
are not going for to people they're going
for corruption and crime yes exactly that's giving
it to her by the way somebody mentioned
one of these reports that in the 60s
and 70s Venezuela had the highest per capita
income of any people in the world oh
really yeah cuz they were dates when they
had they just got their oil going they
had sitco gas stations all throughout the United
States hmm and they had their own refineries
and they were making just tons of money
and they were redistributing it the way the
Arabs do to the people I mean it's
like Kuwait you know it gets you don't
have to work there you're a citizen he's
sending it back to his masters in England
in the city of London but I'll just
play two more yes or I love this
one just because of a famous phrase here
the regime itself has done a number of
things they have revoked TV licenses for journalists
to broadcast truthfully he has jailed journalists the
United Nations says the National Guard targeted political
opponents committed sexual violence tortured people and committed
other crimes against humanity so from where you
sit is Maduro stepping down enough or do
you need the entire regime dismantled in which
case that sounds like a country in collapse
that's a very good question because certainly Maduro
is the head of the structure but it's
like any other mafia system you have families
or groups that operate and and sometimes even
compete among each other there are different degrees
in the crimes they have committed certainly those
that have committed crimes against humanity that have
been reported by the fact finding missions of
the United Nations should face justice local justice
and international justice there are other members of
the regime or the armed forces that have
committed lesser crimes and certainly we will search
for justice not revenge but this I'm going
to insist what we're leaving right now is
chaos Maduro represent chaos we're going to put
order order out of chaos anybody is isn't
that something that we have somewhere isn't that
or is that New World Order order out
of chaos I can't remember all right last
one would that include u.s. peacekeeping troops
or other troops on the ground I cannot
answer that question right now I don't think
that's the case Trump told me not to
talk about it she knows that that's she's
at the cliff edge and she doesn't have
the information to say one way or the
I don't think they didn't tell her not
to talk about it they don't know I
cannot answer that question right now I don't
think that's the case there are other countries
that have offered support as well in order
to strengthen democratic institutions what yeah the government
elect is in place but that we will
have to address that once we have the
you know the government elect in place and
and put in order bringing order back to
our country and one thing that you mentioned
before about that you know the refugee crisis
it's going to be exactly the contrary here
we go the day Maduro goes you will
see tens of thousands hundreds of thousands of
Venezuelan migrants coming back home from the United
States and all over the world I mean
our diaspora is desperate to go back to
Venezuela so even from that perspective it is
a win-win situation to have democracy in
Venezuela win-win it's a win-win twofer
it's good it's good so it's probably true
because Venice I haven't been there but my
understanding is absolutely beautiful country I don't know
I've never been I've never been we should
go you barely get to a meetup in
your hometown but kind of on the tip
of bleeding the the North Sea Nexus dry
this didn't get of course any real play
in the news but this is our Secretary
of State Rubio talking about NGOs the United
States has spent billions of dollars over the
years and helping with health strategies all across
the world what we learned over time and
especially after coming here is that oftentimes and
I'm oversimplifying it but this is an accurate
description what would happen is we would go
to a country and say we're going to
help you with our health care needs then
we would drive over to Western Virginia Northern
Virginia somewhere find an NGO one of these
organizations give them all the money tell them
go to this country and do their health
care program for them that NGO would then
take about you know some percentage of that
money for their overhead and administrative costs and
by the time it got down to it
the host country had very little influence it
was sort of imposed on them and only
a percentage of the overall money ever actually
reached the patients and the people on the
ground that we were trying to help because
of these costs this makes no sense no
so why are we hiring American and international
NGOs to go into other countries and run
health care systems that are parallel and sometimes
in conflict with the health care systems of
the host country if we're trying to help
countries help the country don't help the NGO
to go in and find a new line
of business and so that's what the model
that we're breaking we're not doing this anymore
we are not going to spend billions of
dollars funding the NGO industrial complex while close
and important partners like Kenya are either have
no role to play I have very little
influence over how health care money is being
spent bottom line is if you want to
help a country work with that country there
goes a big network well that's this long
overdue and it's gonna take forever to really
break it up we have a problem in
the Bay Area we had a thing that
this isn't yesterday's news I was gonna clip
it I didn't which was a news story
about this little park over there by the
by the one of the San Francisco docks
it's a supposed to be a kids park
and they see but three million dollars together
to build them they had the park all
outlined that would put the playground up three
million bucks gave it to an NGO the
NGO paid yourself a bunch of salaries didn't
do anything the money's all gone yeah of
course of course no and they're all we're
investigating it they're not gonna do anything about
it these guys these NGOs are just siphons
for just stealing money good at it we're
so dumb we should have had an NGO
a long time ago I agree I agree
it's probably still not too late we're helping
educate we are here to educate people on
news disinformation oh yeah that's great yeah we
should probably give some money to these guys
we're dumb yeah we're dumb that's too bad
I mean we're truthful but we know we
do our we do a good job of
it and it's unfortunately people don't appreciate as
much as they could let me ask you
a question that's because we're not pushing it
hard enough so there's still some but I
think it's mainly Europe and probably British NGOs
etc active little update on Bulgaria with the
Gen Z or as we'd like to say
Gen Z protests we've had some success tens
of thousands mass in the streets of Sofia
as they have done for the last few
weeks and in several other Bulgarian cities it's
been a gradually growing movement driven by dissatisfaction
with the government accusations of corruption economic grievances
and a demand for new leadership in common
with similar protests in other countries it's younger
people Gen Z who are at the forefront
with a demand for change united under the
slogan aimed at those in power you angered
the wrong generation we truly hope our actions
will lead to real change what I can
say with certainty is that we will not
stop we are prepared to continue with active
protests uniting students from across Bulgaria and abroad
I believe that corruption the way we keep
on living and the money that's actually being
stolen that's the huge problem for us and
I truly hope that there will be some
youthful energy boiling over the growing anger and
sheer strength of numbers appears to have brought
about the resignation of the minority center-right
government a move unanimously agreed by MPs therefore
I inform you that before the vote of
no confidence today the government resigns the government's
fall follows the scrapping of a controversial budget
plan it would have been the sixth vote
of confidence since January and comes just 20
days before Bulgaria joins the euro in the
new year uh-huh right on time and
the new is a good one yeah just
before they're gonna get in the euro yeah
and the new thing is pig noses that's
the new Gen Z thing you know like
a carnival pig nose yeah you put a
little pig nose on yeah that's a new
thing if we see that here we'll know
what's up and I just can't help but
think that you know we're not doing it
to ourselves yet well we are not doing
it to ourselves but it's obvious that the
Brits and are still trying to it may
be this whole pot o'sphere denouncement scenario
led by clearly British operatives although I think
Candace just doesn't even know man we both
saw that interview with her husband George Farmer
and I didn't clip any of it but
what what a bunch of horse manure that
is oh yes I asked her to marry
me after 17 days cuz she was just
awesome yeah the whole it's a very we
that should be linked in the show notes
actually put it in the show notes for
that very reason yeah it should be watched
by everybody but it's part of a five
-hour interview which I watched only could watch
a little bit at the beginning and the
five-hour interview is actually more interesting if
people can get to it it's on YouTube
five hours I'm oh man they'd let you
do anything so five hours of yak yak
yak and it's just nothing but hate for
hate for America hate for America they the
two of these two guys are mocking the
way we pronounce words and they did and
they especially the word water they have what
make it make a bunch of stimulus and
they're laughing at American isms and laughing it
what a country we are this guy is
at the center of British elites at the
Bullingdon Club at Oxford which is an all
-male dining society with only I mean this
is so alums are David Cameron Boris Johnson
yeah these are really these are good guys
he was politically active no you know he
started turning point UK with his own money
and then he winds up marrying Candace she
becomes a unwitting dupe operative yes and and
and right on cue there's our buddy Tucker
he platforms Milo you remember you remember how
Milo got in because you know Milo came
exploded and then went yeah I can't remember
how he how I looked it up but
I look canceled like it was during the
era of the show I think he was
so yes 2014 Gamergate that's when he came
in yeah he came in yeah that's when
he came but he was doing some stuff
with Breitbart I think but he came in
with Gamergate branded himself he was really by
any heat by the way he came in
he was extremely talented yes I thought he
did his presentations were stunning he was a
good debater he's a master debater he is
a major master debater and he did the
dangerous campus tour to get everyone all riled
up remember whatever wherever you went there were
riots right that's before he called other people
with to change my mind yes yeah yeah
no he was early on that and he
started with the whole I'm the dangerous faggot
that was his his brand but then he
he went rogue and he started talking about
he started defending sexual relationships between men and
boys as young as 13 and then he
got pulled I mean they CPAC can't do
it the rails and they pulled a plug
on Simon and Schuster canceled his book deal
Breitbart kicked him out but then you know
he started to come back when you know
this is classic you know he's like oh
I'm ex-gay now that's what he was
on Tucker for knob I'm the ex good
by the way did you know that he
interned for Marjorie Taylor Greene no yeah and
he was the one didn't see the I
did not see the Tucker I should I
guess I should watch the Tucker interview yes
he but he was the one that orchestrated
the dinner with Kanye and Nick Fuentes at
the with Trump that's not a way I
understand it though that's what he says that's
what he says but you know to me
he's just you know they just sent him
in on a missile as a heat-seeking
missile go in there you know if their
goal is to say the British okay City
of London the crown everybody who hates America
right and spooked out by mi6 yes what
you do is you'd go after the biggest
Gen Z organization in the world and blame
it all on Israel and we know that
the hate the Jews this is I mean
I'm generalizing but you know they are the
ones that say hey go live there we
drew this circle that's your spot now in
1948 and before that it was it was
was it Rothschild didn't wasn't it was it
Rothschild's who who set up the who sent
the letter the bow for the bell for
declaration the bow your declaration yeah so you
know they're they're mucking more background on what
else he talked about on the on Tucker
and what would you think the point of
it was to reintroduce him so that he
could get on Tim pool then he can
yell about everybody and just cause more confusion
and keep the fire going can this is
so you think I'm gonna go the rounds
the rounds which we can almost identify Tim
fool he's already probably perhaps he already was
on Tim pool he already did it the
whole Tim pool thing oh yeah he'll be
a Megyn Kelly if he hasn't already let
me see let's see we can probably find
out yes he's he's been said you get
his touring schedule it's on the Milo's calm
you know no touring schedule it'd be the
same old same old podcasts that everyone defends
when we ever mention anything about him on
our show oh yeah you're throwing bricks at
the glass in the glass you're shooting inside
the tent man that's the word that's the
phrase no no no no this I truly
believe this is meant to destabilize Gen Z
in our country that's a different approach but
if you just look okay he's been on
Candace in September Legion of skanks oh we
got to be on that show Legion of
skanks skank fest in Las Vegas gank fest
yes with Tim pool and Stephen Crowder I
guess it's some kind of live Oh Pierce
Morgan hello another mi6 stooge piece Pierce Morgan
and then Tucker Carlson and now he's been
at this is what I have so far
and then Tim pool it's also obvious get
these limeys out of our country yeah and
these pilgrims get them all out mm-hmm
Pilgrim Society look it up everybody yeah Tucker's
a big big shot in that thing we're
not we don't know that for sure but
it could be we're pretty sure I'm I'm
really research I can't find it I can't
find it but I do think we should
be at skank fest next year I mean
there's no reason why we can't be at
skank fest skank fest to skank fest what
is the point of it I have to
look it up now what you're a skank
like it which is a which is a
deplorable woman who is just kind of a
worse than a slut let's find out you're
gonna have a convention of your of your
own types that's supposed to mean skank fest
New Orleans is a three-day comedy festival
described as a blend of Mardi Gras punk
rock shows and comedy heaven it features stand
-up comedy live podcasts surprise guest appearances tattoo
artists a vendor village and late-night events
oh so they're so they're only using there's
it's not really for skanks no it's just
a Dave they've co-opted the word yes
to make it into some sort of a
dubious festival it's kind of like the Edinburgh
festival in America skank fest sounds good skank
fest well maybe we just missed the invitation
in the email I don't think we missed
anything nobody cares about us they don't like
us no because we should we should inside
the tent man let's talk about the Congo
Oh Africa news all right bye everybody now
the only reason I want to play this
I'm gonna put I have a series of
Congo clips but I want to play the
this clip from the light is I didn't
plan on the last show plus another clip
I want to play first the Congo humiliation
clip is 23 seconds okay here we go
the resumption of fighting in the east of
the Democratic Republic of Congo has been described
as a humiliation for President Trump by the
foreign minister of neighboring Burundi Rwandan backed m23
rebels have marched into the Congolese government's last
bastion in South Kivu province the advance came
less than a week after the u.s.
brokered a peace deal BBC News yeah this
is a humiliation for Trump according to the
BBC let's go to this other clip this
is a Southeast SE Asia war okay the
u.s. president Donald Trump says he will
telephone the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to
try to convince them to end the military
clashes along their shared border that have continued
for a third day mr.
Trump helped broker a ceasefire between the two
countries in July but on Monday Thailand carried
out airstrikes with Cambodia responding with rocket fire
now Southeast Asia correspondent Jonathan head is on
the border the sound of Cambodian rocket launchers
firing salvo after salvo into Thailand the war
president Trump said he'd ended has fled up
again on the Thai side of the border
the rockets can be heard exploding killing and
injuring soldiers and ripping apart houses which thanks
to a swift evacuation are empty Thai artillery
can be heard constantly firing back in temporary
evacuation centers all along the border in both
countries hundreds of thousands of people have sought
safety for the second time in five months
the u.s. has urged the two governments
to return to the ceasefire brokered by President
Trump speaking to supporters he sounded confident he
could do it again who else could say
I'm gonna make a phone call and stop
a war of two very powerful countries Thailand
and Cambodia they're going at it again he's
no good so the BBC's going after Trump
for being a and if you listen to
that right in the middle there they said
the way they phrased it was the war
president the war president Trump tried to stop
but when you hear it just as a
single standalone the war president war president Trump
yes which I thought was genius in terms
of a propagandistic usage very good but good
job but it was like the BBC has
done this and that was from like last
you know a couple days ago today they're
door not today but yesterday they're still hounding
Trump for being a phony baloney can't really
stop wars and let's go play this clip
Congo war one it's been barely a week
since Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo
signed a peace accord with President Trump in
Washington to end the fighting in eastern areas
of the DRC but it hasn't stopped the
fighting the United States has blamed the m23
militant group backed by Rwanda for the violence
now Rwanda has accused the Congolese army of
ignoring the ceasefire I spoke to our global
affairs reporter Richard Kogui in the Kenyan capital
Nairobi and I began by asking him where
this latest bout of fighting has broken out
the fighting is taking place in eastern Congo
specifically in a region called South Kivu province
and so this is the area that does
border Tanzania and separated by Lake Tanganyika and
so what has happened is that the m23
rebel group has been advancing further into South
Kivu province after taking over the biggest city
which was called Bukavu and now they have
seized a second largest town where the Congolese
government had its base called Ovira Richard the
two sides signed a peace accord a week
ago and now we have Rwanda and the
DRC blaming each other for this new bout
of fighting yes it's just a typical of
situations as they do evolve in this part
in terms of this conflict the DRC is
arguing that it's protecting its territorial integrity it
wants to retake in a territory that it
lost to the rebels it says that it
wants to protect its civilian population and stop
the advance of the Rwandan rebels really boring
but it's war and it's Trump's fault the
war president we all know it he's the
war president yeah it's it's we're under attack
man glossed from the sounds of it that's
why I'm really listening to the BBC a
lot more because I get to pick up
these subtle little these these needling that they
keep doing well let me they play it
so straight oh yeah no we're great well
let me stop you right there since we're
at two hours in one minute I'm glad
you stopped yourself because I need to thank
you for your courage and say in the
morning to you the man who put the
sea in cholera say hello to my friend
on the other end the one the only
mr.
I can't get an accurate troll count this
is the same thing you say every time
no not every time Oh 1786 thank you
cotton gin that sucks well you know what
I'm about to stop counting the trolls they
just they just robbed me of my joy
yeah you've been bitching about this since before
the show yeah well you know it's and
it's all about you I mean they're saying
horrible things about you and I just don't
like it no I'm glad you defend me
the real thing that happened here today so
for people who don't listen to the pre
show alive is that Darren O'Neill for
the end of the show mix you're gonna
hear it on today's show did a thing
a song called no agenda Christmas yes which
is a fabulous AI produced tune with lyrics
probably by Darren yeah and but the song
itself is just it's a hit it's it's
a toe-tapper too and it's a toe
-tapper which is important and and it gets
a couple of people in the chat no
no no a hundred a hundred people in
the chat room who hate Adam and they
hate Darren and they hate the show they
don't donate they hate the show they're haters
and they bitched and moan all at once
I guess and Adam caught it and he
got he got irked about it and he's
been irked ever since he's been irked I
have been irked because it's just it's so
annoying I mean why do you show up
oh I know why because I respond to
it obviously you know we're boomers we're boring
you know I think I just need to
close that could be true but it's good
point there yeah it's very good point boy
well not everybody thinks we're boring some people
see value in us but I understand I
understand you know that change is hard it's
it's hard to hear that you know that
we disagree with your favorite podcasters who you're
all addicted to yeah man yes okay Fuentes
is right man yeah he's awesome yeah I
like Fuentes's show oh yeah you watch it
a bit of it here and there don't
you I don't consistently do it but when
I do it I've always enjoyed it he's
a he is a he is a if
it was a different media landscape he would
be on TV or locally at least at
doing the locally well locally I mean but
he could be network he had that he
has the chops he never flubs he for
a guy who's an amateur supposedly he doesn't
flub he doesn't stammer he's he's slick he's
got a good voice and you know it
and he's and his modulates well and he's
funny he's extremely funny and and I don't
understand what the big complaining is well because
because he says Hitler was great and Stalin
was great and he explains what he's meant
by that the only thing in particular I'm
not gonna be sit here and defend Fuentes
because he's doing himself but I'm gonna do
this yeah doing a good job he goes
on he he thinks Stalin is great as
a hero as a heroic figure that needs
to be studied he thinks it then he'll
follow that by saying he was a horrible
person a sick minted deranged creep but that
doesn't mean he was he should be ignored
it in the scheme of things how does
the guy like that manage a large country
how did he do it and how do
you stay in power so long that sort
of thing is why he thinks he's great
you are defending him that's great it's reasonable
yes no I'm not against him I'm not
against anybody but he's part of the system
well he is definitely locked in then he's
got a crush on Candace and there's something
to going on between those two and I
don't get that at all so there's so
it's part of that oh you forgot our
local podcast nexus you got to call him
a fan every you got to call every
I denounce you you're a fed to John
C Dvorak that's that's the new thing you
gotta call each other a fed yeah oh
you just ooze fed slop I watched too
much of this obviously yeah you're obvious yeah
you're on the off to deep end no
I mean but I I'm telling you people
are watching this stuff they're into it there's
people that are doing the presentations are good
at it Candace is no slouch definitely she
is a really good presenter and she does
her she does her act beautifully okay went
days the same thing okay okay and and
Tucker is a pro yes and I mean
you so you have all these professional basically
professional broadcasters audience well sure it's a porn
really I mean it's just I don't like
war I don't like death I just don't
like it I don't like it and I
don't like our president and then you know
just sending money to the country you know
if you could get his voice down he
has a his register is higher than yours
yeah you have a Barrett natural baritone voice
he's close to a tenor yeah I can't
do it and to do a tenor voice
with a natural baritone voice which you have
is not easy in case you hadn't noticed
the show doesn't end after two hours people
look into how there's another hour left what's
going on what do they do in there
well we do a couple of things first
we thank people who support us value for
value after we tell you that the best
way to listen to this show is on
a modern podcast app that's how you get
into this crazy troll room in the in
the first place or by going to know
agenda stream calm and apologies for no agenda
show net it was a I messed it
up it was the right show but it
was the wrong show notes and yeah you
know after after three and a half hours
sometimes I make mistakes so sorry that there
was it was confusing to people which is
probably why almost no one donated it wasn't
the newsletter's fault it was my fault but
I think if people you know there's a
lot of people that will just listen on
the website which I always find interesting it's
it's some it's like 18 or 19%
of people who listen to the show go
to no agenda show net and listen there
how do you listen to the show you
don't listen to the show when I listen
to the show I do it off the
website you do this all you it's you
and the Dvorak clan maybe hmm so we
have a number of ways you can support
us value for value is the methodology that
we have employed now in our in our
19th year and by the way I have
to mention something here this is gonna disappoint
a lot of people but I don't feel
too bad about it actually today for the
first time maybe the second time in our
history we will not be doing a broadcast
on Christmas Day what yep you're gonna be
sending something out so we are doing a
broadcast we are doing a broadcast but I
don't have any thematic show so I'm reaching
out to the producers who get incredible value
from this program and get actual news and
fun deconstruction of dumb media to come up
with an idea and it's very easy to
find stuff these days I'm being it dot
IO you can find all kinds of do
we have nothing in the can we got
nothing in the can no I produce a
couple of things well I mean we've done
so many themes and but I'll just say
the reason why is my daughter is coming
for Christmas and I would just like to
spend this Christmas with my daughter she's coming
over from Rotterdam she's gonna be with us
for a week and I just and she
wanted an old-fashioned old-school American Christmas
which let's face it doesn't get much better
than that in Fredericksburg Texas so I want
to honor her and therefore I will not
being the show you're doing the show you
can do the show if you want with
your buddy Nick Fuentes if you want to
bring him in that would be a good
show it would be a great show I
would resign just to hear that so ideas
are welcome Adam at curry.com don't miss
email you know whenever people don't get a
response from you on email they just say
he's blocked me even though it's not true
have you noticed this yeah I noticed it
yeah they don't get a response in the
email me good John black me so I'm
gonna email you with my complaint about John
stop it yeah that's the idea hello a
bad idea it's a great idea you can
support us but with your time your talent
your treasure which we we appreciate all versions
of it thank you to Steve our clip
clip collector who's been just fantastic that these
last few Sundays he starts rolling his recordings
the minute all the Sunday shows come on
it's really it's very much appreciated we have
you know people like Dave Ackerman who gets
me all the the euro news I mean
it's really helpful very very helpful what everybody
does people organizing meetups and of course we
have people making artwork and they upload that
at no agenda art generator comm so we
can choose something fun for art and even
though we explained what we're looking for it's
still very difficult I guess the LLM's just
haven't figured out exactly what we need art
wise however blue acorn did a pretty good
job with his ITM which was kind of
the takeoff I don't know if anyone else
caught it but the font wars in a
way I think that's what what it was
is that isn't that how we took it
what he called it I think oh he
really actually called it the font wars yeah
let me take a look but it was
it was a this is what we need
the piece pops you know it just popped
out of the page and when it pops
like that that makes you want to look
closer if there are any fun details in
there and he did a good job and
let's see what else there was let's see
wow there's a lot of art today already
was there anything else we liked no but
I'm liking Jeffrey Ray's a Santa cross Merry
Christmas to coming up with instead of reindeer
it's a bunch of babes yeah no I
don't like that yeah I'm sure you do
go put it on your sub stack on
the Oasis on the Oasis a lot of
people tried to do font wars then there
was some now available on Pornhub which I
was all for you you were against that
there were some people tried some dogs some
robot dogs but in general if you don't
have a good idea your arts not gonna
just it's not gonna work no matter how
smart you think the the AI is it
just it doesn't really translate you need good
ideas but give give someone a good idea
we already have like a whole page full
of stuff for today yeah well most of
which we're not gonna choose well obviously you
can only choose one piece so that that's
always no but it's gonna be hard to
be like oh there's really nothing here no
there's I think of at least ten pieces
that are you there's there's ten pieces hmm
I think well okay three maybe one maybe
two no but three for sure four if
you'd let the girls pulling the sled when
I'm not I'm not allowing that the girls
pulling the sled it's it's it's unfriendly to
women anyway we always thank all of our
financial supporters the treasure of the three T's
and we thank everybody who comes in with
$50 or above and we appreciate any amount
anytime whenever you feel you've received value from
the show send it to us that's the
only way the show survives and we start
off today on a happy note bringing my
joy back from the Archduke of Central Florida

the Archduke of Central Florida says dear John
and Adam rubber Liza donation from the Archduke

new happenings well I think we've done that
today it is way more interesting than Africa

belt stories also help us understand all the
elements of the Minnesota fraud issues it is
fascinating how little traction this has had in
the media looking for as pointed out on
this show numerous times today looking forward to
seeing the challenge coin no jingles no karma
five more years well if you keep supporting
us this way we might make it Thank
You Archduke of Central Florida we greatly appreciate
your enormous support of the show yeah that
was a nice surprise fantastic moving on to
Christopher Kessler in Marshfield Wisconsin who came in
with a nice five hundred forty three dollars
and twenty one cents but he's got no
note that we could find anywhere and so
we give him a double of God karma
but if you have a note Elizabeth Lambert

switcheroo for John Lambert so hold on a
second let me switcheroo that and make sure
we get that in there we go switcheroo

by close of business tomorrow and she goes
on to say John we love you very
much and this might finally get you to
knighthood love always Elizabeth and she has a
pronunciation guide Maran and Amelia Elizabeth Maran and
Amelia Elizabeth Maran and Amelia yeah so that's
the end of our executive producers we go
right to associates we got a lot of
these today for some reason Duke of San
Francisco leaves us off in San Francisco obviously
he's in 277 dollars and 33 cents territory
and he says the Duke of San Francisco
loves font geekery which is the discussion we
had in the last show but about fonts
yes and he says this is a Georgia
he's a big fan of Georgia the font
obviously Georgia donation and then he wants a
chem trails and a florida in your cup
and there was another note I wanted to
read that came in because we talked but
you know we we take the font war
seriously yeah yes potash we received this from
Matt from Florida lawn solutions we have produced
we have the best producers in the universe
and he knows a lot about potash because
we we didn't really know everything except a
lot comes from Canada he says there's a
couple of different forms of potash you can
buy there's a myriad of potash which is
a potassium chloride and sulfate of potash which
is potassium sulfate we use sulfate and the
price went up over 35% from this
year Canada does produce some but I think
China and India produce more I checked and
the myriad was about the same price it's
already a cheaper product anyway this mostly comes
from Canada because of the chlorine content the
myriad isn't good for fruit or vegetable plants
but it's okay for grasses which includes rice
aha I think the rice likes the chloride
anyway oh yeah my rice loves chloride some
states can produce potassium I know Utah is
able might not be enough to do I
see anyway I see not sure what that
means but I but like with a lot
of things regulations have pushed it offshore anyway
if they add a tariff on the myriad
it will hurt the grain farmers fruit and
vegetables probably already have been paying extra on
the sulfate because most of its coming from
tariff places and he says thanks for all
you do please more fertilizer talk well I
have a bonus clip in a double bonus
clip right now because of that note okay
first of all let's listen to there's just
a basic story about the Belarus prisoners the
BBC clip okay Belarus has released more than
120 prisoners including the Nobel Peace Prize winner
I yes be a Yatsky and the prominent
opposition activist Maria Kolyesnikova it comes after the
United States agreed to lift sanctions on the
country no it's not much to that but
let's listen to the PBS clip we're lifting
sanctions on the country as a dimension Belarus
freed more than 100 prisoners after the United
States said it would lift sanctions on the
close ally of Russia among those pardoned by
Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko were two opposition leaders
and Alice Bialyovsky who shared the 2022 Nobel
Peace Prize earlier US Special Envoy John Cole
said the United States would lift sanctions on
potash fertilizer one of the nation's most important
experts now Cole said improving u.s. Belarusian
relations could lead to more prisoner releases president
Lukashenko who should get a tremendous amount of
credit for this I think that he is
moving he wants a more normalized relationship with
the United States we're moving in that direction
Lukashenko is an authoritarian leader known for dealing
harshly with dissidents Western nations have sanctioned Belarus
for cracking down on human rights and for
letting Russia...
it's like they they beat did they miss
the point of the potash of the potash
you so screw Canada we can get our
potash from Belarus by just called making a
phone call and say release a few people
you know show sign of support here give
us give us a break and now give
us your potash yes exactly screw we do
yeah Canada they are so dumb up there
they really should become our 51st state we'd
be so great together it's not gonna happen
yeah John Siebert is up next is this

appreciate it we're actually really entertained by the
notes that you send in certainly especially when
they're not too long and it's so obvious
what you're doing we love that we love
everybody who supports the show value for value
you can do that at any amount anytime
you want to be thanking $50 and above
in our second segment and once again thank
you for supporting us go to no agenda
donations calm to support the no agenda show
our formula is this we go out we
hit people in the mouth and
a reminder that these executive and associate executive
producers all are eligible to put their names
in the hall of credits at imdb.com
because you are now officially an executive or
an associate executive producer of the no agenda
show let's see let me start off with
a tick-tock clip this is a woman
who is so they're all women when's the
last time you put all you do you
have played a guy I have played a
guy you played a guy but it's mostly
women and this to me is a reflection
of either I don't know what level of
stupidity this is this is a woman who
is your lack of education or don't or
someone who doesn't understand the mechanism of government
or the mechanism of society it's just baffling
to listen to this woman rant about immigration
can someone smarter than me help me very
genuinely understand why I'm supposed to care if
people immigrate to the u.s. illegally like
obviously some people are just racist and some
people are just stupid but even like left
-leaning people say you know well you got
to do something about the border why could
I don't understand why this should bother me
in any way if as many people as
want to come here so if somebody could
help me understand that that would be great
because right now I just don't know why
I should give a shit I found this
a I found it to be a very
fascinating commentary because it's like yes because how
does anyone get to that position where you
don't understand that the burden on society and
the taxpayer on the on the infrastructure and
all the rest of it you know if
you're just gonna have unfettered immigration from everywhere
in the world and police issues and all
the rest of it and you don't see
it as she's this is bullcrap she understands
that she just wants like you have a
different this is the difference between you and
me on in regards the same thing with
Tucker the way we see him it's a
different look you think everyone is cynical and
they're all acting no I think that they
want to get played on the no agenda
show or they want to get likes that's
it that's it all about these people thrive
on people telling them you're an idiot there
are people like that who can thrive on
that you were bummed out when somebody said
that they didn't like a Darren O'Neill
clip yeah but I've been doing it for
over 18 years so I must be liking
something and you but you got thick skin
according to that one note yeah there it
is you need some you need to give
some tips hey we have we have the
AI I already gave it away we have
the time person of the year persons of
the year you've which is is time magazine
still a magazine I think it's just only
online well they've chosen their persons the six
men and two women on the cover of
time magazine are who they have dubbed the
architects of artificial intelligence and their person of
the year among those on the beam are
met as Mark Zuckerberg AMD chief Lisa Sue
open a eyes Sam Altman and chipmaker Nvidia's
Jensen Huang we named the architects of AI
as the person of the year this year
because we were really looking at the people
who had the biggest influence on this year
according to the magazine those people have reoriented
government policy and altered geopolitical rivalries and become
an everyday tool for millions today open a
eyes chat GPT counts over 800 million daily
users its competitor Google Gemini boasts 650 million
time also pointed to a darker side of
AI in light of looming job displacement for
companies looking to replace their workers and darker
still lawsuits have been filed in the wake
of suicides and mental health crises alleging chatbot
psychosis experts are also wary of just how
the tool will affect humanity and if it
will affect all of us equally this technology
has a great potential to make things more
efficient more productive to improve living conditions the
question is will it do so on an
equal basis will it do so for everybody
and right now we see cleavages opening up
be it between superpowers or be it between
family members or be it between people on
the countryside and in big cities the magazine
has named a person of the year since
1927 but this is not the first time
technology took the title in 1982 it was
the computer the computer the computer was the
person of the year there was a great
post by this guy named Peter Gernus G
I R N US on X and and
I saw it the first time I came
around I am but then it kept coming
back and so I wanted to read this
and this may be bullcrap but it sound
it sounds plausible and it's about him deploying
AI in his corporation I'll read it last
quarter I rolled out Microsoft co-pilot to
4,000 employees $30 per seat per month
1.4 million dollars annually had you seen
this I called it digital transformation the board
loved that phrase they approved it in 11
minutes no one asked what it would actually
do including me I told everyone 10%
product 10 10 X productivity that's not a
real X that he says that's not a
real number but it sounds like one HR
asked how we would measure 10 X I
said we'd leverage analytics dashboards they stopped asking
brother three months later I checked the usage
reports 47 people had opened it 12 had
used it more than once one of them
was me I used it to summarize an
email I could have read in 30 seconds
it took 45 seconds plus the time it
took to fix the hallucinations but I called
it a pilot success success means the pilot
didn't visibly fail the CFO asked about ROI
I showed him a graph the graph went
up and to the right it measured AI
enablement I made that up he nodded approvingly
we are AI enabled now I don't know
what that means but it's in our investor
deck a senior developer asked why we did
why we didn't use Claude or chat GPT
I said we needed enterprise-grade security he
asked what that meant I said compliance he
asked which compliance I said all of them
he looks skeptical I asked him for a
career development conversation he stopped asking questions Microsoft
sent a case study team they wanted to
feature us as a success story I told
them we quote saved 40,000 hours I
calculated that number by multiplying employees by a
number I made up they didn't verify it
they never do now we're on Microsoft's website
global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity
gains with co-pilot the CEO shared it
on LinkedIn he got 3,000 likes he's
never used co-pilot none of the executives
have we have an exemption strategic focus requires
minimal digital distraction I wrote that policy the
license renews next month I'm requesting expansion 5
,000 more seats we haven't used the first
4,000 but this time we will drive
adoption adoption means mandatory training training means a
45-minute webinar no one watches but completion
will be tracked completion is a metric metrics
go in dashboards dashboards go in board presentations
board print presentations get me promoted I'll be
SVP by q3 I still don't know what
co-pilot does but I know what it's
for it's for showing we're investing in AI
investment means spending spending means commitment commitment means
we're serious about the future the future is
whatever I say it is as long as
the graph goes up and to the right
yeah that is a wonderful little mini essay
I thought it was good the guy no
that's that was really funny and it's classic
yeah it's and it's apt accurate yeah completely
accurate yes and so then we get this
executive order the other day President Trump says
the AI industry can't excel under a patchwork
of state regulations we have the big investment
coming but if they had to get 50
different approvals from 50 different states you can
forget it because it's not possible to do
he says one uniform federal framework would help
the u.s. win the AI arms race
that's the goal of an executive order signed
Thursday not doing this would be the greatest
gift to China and other countries the order
also creates a litigation task force to challenge
state AI laws excluding those related to child
safety protections I don't think states should have
the ability to regulate an AI Indiana Republican
congressman Marlon Stutzman supports the order that way
we put America at the forefront and leading
on that issue rather than being divided amongst
ourselves but limiting states when it comes to
AI hasn't proven popular in Congress a measure
that would have banned states from regulating AI
for 10 years was removed from the big
beautiful bill over the summer and recent efforts
to include a provision barring states from regulating
AI in the annual defense spending bill failed
to we took that provision out I think
it's pandering to AI companies Virginia Democratic congressman
Eugene Vindman says Congress does need to regulate
executive order I need to find a balance
for appropriate regulation for this industry House Minority
Leader Hakeem Jeffrey says he doesn't think the
order is legal and ultimately it's gonna get
struck down in court the order also threatens
to restrict certain funding to states with AI
laws I'm against all this isn't this the
whole point of states rights that we should
be able to determine our own destiny I
I'm all for it I think having states
being allowed to create dipshit laws over technology
items it just becomes all of a sudden
now you got to go through California because
California has some restriction so now everybody has
to obey what California wants because of the
internet and everything goes through California no I'm
all for it they've got to stop some
of these states from doing this but I
don't care about I mean states rights yeah
for when it has to do with rights
not when it has to do with something
like this I'm all for it I like
the term dipshit laws you should be in
Congress that would that would have shut him
down now here's the good news good news
is that they have not been able to
crack AI podcasts and this cropped up or
this propped up popped up in a report
here from the semaphore the Washington Post's top
standards editor on Thursday decried frustrating errors in
his new AI generated personalized podcasts whose launch
had been met with distress by its journalists
I guess they the post has been rolling
out personalized AI generated podcasts for you I
don't even know what that means so in
the release the paper says users are able
to choose preferred topics and which hosts AI
host and you can shape your own briefings
select topics set length pick their hosts and
soon even ask questions using ask the post
AI technology but it doesn't work no you
know we have a real I got to
ask you some advice so we have deemed
we have we have come up with nomenclature
there are now so-called TTS podcasts but
TTS text-to-speech okay and so they'll
be like a podcast of a reddit thread
which is all read by by AI and
it's I mean I don't know if you
could even listen to it I mean some
people might the problem is there are these
text-to-speech outfits who will create a
podcast and within one day it has 2
,000 episodes and 2,000 episodes you know
it's a problem for the podcast index you
know we're a small operation based on donations
I might add and so you know it
clogs up the system it slows everything down
and there are people just out there just
it's basically spam but who can't you just
do spam eliminations and not allow those to
get on the index at all well you
can but that's kind of the question like
it is it is it really spam is
it something that people want nobody wants it
I don't think so either but you know
you have to you can't let this this
is like there's I'm trying to think of
how to analogize it but there's something that
you can there's I think you have a
rationale that you can develop because it's out
there to say no you can't do this
this is not doesn't oh we can say
it I mean we're just kind of thinking
what what should we do no that's what
I'm saying you have to develop the argument
that's solid yeah but as I would say
it's like spam it's like we remember in
the early days of usenet yes I remember
the early days of usenet and every time
somebody came in with some advertisement they try
to slip on the usenet they'd get blasted
and thrown off I remember the first time
I came into usenet and I I don't
remember what I posted but immediately there's corporations
here MTV oh this is the end of
the internet that's right and they weren't wrong
you're right that's where that guy's voice came
from they weren't wrong they were wrong they
were right they had a point they had
a point by the way there's been a
lot you know we had that clip on
the last show about Instacart and grocery prices
I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos
from consumer reports and other consumer organizations man
there are big companies of which Instacart is
really a yeah they deliver to you but
that's not really what they do they are
doing dynamic pricing on everybody based upon what
they think you can pay even in store
with the you know with the what do
you call the digital pricing price tags that
so you don't really have a price tag
on the product but it says on the
shelf it'll change it's like okay this is
now $4.99 and then you know you
take it in and scan the barcode and
it's $4.99 someone else would be paying
$4 or you know like $4.30 and
I know nuts I've never seen any evidence
of this oh it's I'll send you one
of these videos I mean is it happening
in a store near you it's oh it's
happening in every single store every single yes
and you could and so they put like
20 people in a room and they all
ordered directly from a store not through Instacart
and even those people all got different prices
it's it's it's kind of in a way
it's what uber has been doing for a
while you know we'll just charge you whatever
you think you're willing to pay but they're
doing with groceries well yeah it's not gonna
fly well it's been flying apparently for quite
a few years but when you look at
the price of groceries it's not necessarily based
the point is you're saying that the whole
system is turning into a bait-and-switch
operation it's that's what this is it's anti
-competitive because they they are all doing it
so all the grocery stores are using this
system so instead of competing with each other
based upon price and service and quality of
product they're all they're all kind of using
the same systems and just charge whatever they
can so it's anti-competitive we have grocery
store executives that listen to this show and
they will they will respond to this and
explain it to us what's going on anonymity
always assured but of course yeah unless they
want credit unless they want to lose their
job not necessarily and then the latest here
it comes you're gonna be paying more for
your AI it's it's gonna happen because when
these guys jump in it's all over well
this is definitely an earthquake in the entertainment
industry where this is a three-year licensing
deal between the Walt Disney Company and open
AI users will be able to create short
clips up to 30 seconds in duration using
Sora which is open a eyes video generation
platform and those clips will feature more than
200 characters from the Disney Universe from the
Marvel Pixar and Star Wars universe that obviously
covers everything from Mickey Mouse to Elsa from
Frozen to Iron Man Captain America and Darth
Vader Disney is also making a 1 billion
1 billion dollar equity investment into open AI
they will that will allow them to create
more content for Disney plus create new services
and tools and also make some changes internally
rolling out chat GPT for employees of Disney
now what this deal includes is perhaps just
as important as what it doesn't include the
deal actually does end up in excluding actor
likeness and voices so essentially those users using
that platform will not be able to use
actual faces and voices of human actors if
you think back to that historically long actors
and writer strike back in 2023 that was
a major major concern for Hollywood at the
time oh no these actors will all be
licensing their likeness in their voice yeah it
won't take long yeah and then it'll be
they'll get Spotify didn't think they're making a
lot of money next thing you know they'll
be getting pennies on yeah you know pennies
out of the blue they'll get a little
check not the kind of checks Brunetti gets
but checks of four five bucks I mean
Brunetti the guy who never donates who takes
you out to dinner and calls that a
value for value donation that guy I think
it's legit who says he's listening to the
show but then claims that we didn't talk
about the Golden Globes that Brunetti that guy
yeah your buddy the guy who single-handedly
put Netflix on the map with House of
Cards yeah he's actually probably pretty responsible for
Netflix he should have given him some bunch
of free stock please Brunetti you just think
he's not a fan of Netflix he's just
using you he's just using you for what
for clout Wow that's the best you could
do I'm gonna show my school by donating
to No Agenda.

that.

you can find any of these fabulous gatherings
near you we didn't get a recorded report
from the Great Rochester Minnesota Big Pharma City
meetup so they sent in a little written
report which I will share here greetings from
the frozen tundra of Minnesota this past Thursday
we had ten producers attending the meetup in
Rochester the location was the little thistle brewery
the meetup court consisted of a landman a
plumber an electrician who was also a ham
operator three keepers a dame that had to
leave early for a PTA school meeting and
myself a long-standing night sir night of
the Eastside a douchebag committed to correcting his
status and discussed the value of the show
for he and his family which had five
human resources a first timer asked what is
the purpose of the show and it's 18
plus years existence all in all a great
evening of discussion a final topic was a
follow-up to JCD's newsletter and prop bets
it seems that four more years prop bet
on the show may be the fixed category
he mentioned the final V for V support
for the show yes that's a good prop
bet will we actually quit in four more
years or we that is a good prop
and that's right up it unfortunately they don't
like to stretch the bets out that long
because the company's doing the betting and the
gaming you usually go out of business by
them just like the lottery guys hey there
is a meetup taking place today it's the
indie and a tail end of 25 Trump

doing doing yeah yeah I can't I can

name that's too bad I'm not gonna tell
you but it is now time for John's
tip of the day we're
gonna go back to booze recommendations oh how
about how about a life tip like our
Jen wire yeah I don't have any life
tips except that that you're you're you're stealing
from the audience by not telling us who
did that clip oh you want me to
tell you I can tell you yeah who
Burt Reynolds oh yeah okay so they this
is a screwball when you got to listen
carefully because this is a I consider this
to be a secret because the quality of
this product is generally terrible mm-hmm and
unless you are clued in one way or
another you will never drink this stuff it's
called grappa hmm who hasn't had grappa a
lot of people have had grappa I've had
plenty of grappa and I'll give you the
story so I've been you know I was
probably in the late 80s maybe the early
for the late 80s I was in New
York I was going to rest I think
it was the call City Hall was a
famous restaurant at the time and and we
had a sommelier and I always get along
with sommeliers because they you know they size
you up if they figure you know what
you're doing you give you a I think
you're okay and so and they give you
the good wine and so at the end
of the meal is and the guy was
French he's a French sommelier so that added
a little impact to this he says what
do you you'd like to do after dinner
stuff I said yeah I'm a cognac guy
so you oh you like cognac he says
and he's French he says do you ever
have grappa and I said yeah I've had
grappa it's everyone's had grappa it's terrible because
most grappa is terrible most grappa tastes like
toilet water or kerosene or fusel or turpentine
depends yeah he says oh really he says
well I've got a grappa here that I
want you to try and if you don't
like it you can just give it back
you want to pay for it that's a
deal it's always a deal of course then
he caught me on the thing anyway but
so he brings out this grappa it was
fabulous and so then I realized that I
that grappa has a protective layer of lousy
grappa that keeps people from getting to the
good stuff because they make so little of
the good stuff they don't need a run
on it like scotch and the prices go
to $500 a bottle for a 15 year
old you know product it's a protection racket
it's Italian it took me a minute yes
of course protection racket gotcha and so I
have a couple of grappa brands that are
universally good and one in particular which is
always gets 98 or 100 points fair everybody
around the country you'll be able to find
it if you dig around enough if you
can't you're not gonna get it at Costco
but this but we had it last night
or the night before on Friday night we
had that with the fit and we all
of us all we could do is just
talk about this marvel marvel over the grappa
it's um it was unbelievable it's a grappa
when you have a good one it is
a phenomenal product and it's hard to explain
it unless you had a good one but
you have a good one it's just so
good it's made from garbage basically yeah and
and it takes a super skill to make
it jacob jacopo poli j-a-c-o
-p-o-p-o-l-i poli this
guy's grappa is always getting 98 or 100
points by all the tasters killer killer grappa
if you go right to that you'll never
drink the junk again now there's I have
a backup brand which is good but it's
not up to this this is ridiculously good
but a backup brand is Lorenzo Inga you'll
find this pretty commonly and Lorenzo Inga they
make a line of grappas based on various
areas where they get the the leftover stuff
to make it with that is a very
good tip I have a comment and a
request to comments first of all I need
to tell you that last night we took
our final Bordeaux from the Costco crate to
the dinner and people were just like wow
this is so good you're talking about the
Bordeaux 22 22 yep yep yep second last
year when Tina and I were in Florence
because we were visiting Willow for Christmas we
there was this little restaurant that we went
in the first night or the second night
we arrived nobody was in the restaurant completely
empty this is one of those small deals
on the side street so we go in
we sit in the back we're all lovey
-dovey we're in Florence it's beautiful the lights
and there's not a lot of tourists because
it was cold and the owner young guy
he had bought the place with just open
a couple weeks bought the place with four
with you know the four friends and so
you know we're having the meal it's nice
and he said can I give you some
grappa for dessert and I'm thinking garbage just
it's just like you said but you know
I did you know I wanted the kid
to feel good about his purchase and there's
no one in there it's just like yeah
bring in the grappa same experience fantastic he
said his dad makes it in the bathtub
I said with your dad in it no
but it was there is good grappa I
completely agree I'm gonna try some of this
well if you can get to this that
this one brand this holy stuff is so
outrageous that I mean it'll stop the meal
it just stops it stops the show it's
a showstopper now request because it is the
season I don't know if you're gonna recommend
brands or a recipe I would love for
you to do eggnog on the next show
eggnog I can do egg night the problem
might there's an egg we have an eggnog
issue at the family family level eggnog you
have too many eggs you can't even make
eggnog well we got plenty eggs yes you're
right we can use one of those recipes
but my wife has a recipe for eggnog
she insists on making it is it's from
her dad it has to be an heirloom
recipe that is bullcrap it's a bullcrap I'm
trying to say it to her to us
nuts no no this is the way you
have to do it and so we don't
want the bullcrap we want the best we
want to come up with it we want
the primo stuff man bring your eggnog recipe
everybody's ready for it and that is your
tease and that is your tip of the
day no agenda fun calm tip of the
day dotnet and sometimes Adam
created by Dana Brunetti that's an easter egg
to see if Mimi actually listens to the
show and we'll find out she does listen
but she sometimes fades by the time I
think a lot of people fade like well
they're missing out because they're gonna miss out
on one of the greatest and the show
mixes but songs that's been developed for this
show it is a stutter we have to
play it again next show we will and
before we get to Baron Darin O'Neill's
no agenda Christmas we have MVP followed by
mellow D and once we're done with that
they know agenda stream continues with random thoughts
and they'll be doing Suno songs on the
show so more AI slop than a pig

basically we've wasted too much time on this
yeah already especially my analysis I don't think
anybody cares Oh the documents we've seen the
reports we filed the sheer audacity of some
people's defaults gather round general producer and hear
a tale of two type faces locked in
an eternally passive-aggressive office war now the
Department of War they need their letters bold
and fast when calculating the ordinance that the
enemy amassed but Pete Hexler took the podium
looking firm and grave and tall he said
if a troop must read a brief the
serif must stand for all we need tradition
structure class not this bubbly rounded thing give
me time to do Roman boys for the
rhythm that it brings when the efficiency is
crucial when you're planning the attack calories casual
nature gives the mission of feedback the generals
cried in protest sir this slows the battle
down we need sans serif precision to annihilate
