It's got a big knob!

Adam Currie, John C.
0:03
Dvorak It's Thursday, December 18th, 2025.
0:06
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media
0:07
Assassination Episode 1826.
0:10
This is no agenda.
0:13
The 6 Week Cycle is back!
0:15
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of
0:17
the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region
0:19
Number 6 in the morning.
0:21
Everybody, I'm Adam Currie.
0:23
And from Northern Silicon Valley where the oil
0:25
refineries are leaving California, I'm John C.
0:28
Dvorak.
0:28
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning!
0:33
Well, that wasn't spectacular news.
0:35
We know they're leaving.
0:36
It sucks.
0:38
California sucks.
0:39
No one wants to be there anymore except
0:41
you.
0:42
Yeah, I love it here.
0:43
For some reason.
0:45
I see on the quad screens as we
0:47
speak, President Trump has reclassified marijuana.
0:53
As what?
0:54
As good for your breakfast.
0:59
He did this with an executive order?
1:02
Yeah.
1:03
Yeah.
1:04
Hey, kids.
1:06
Well, you know.
1:08
He's such a teetotaler.
1:10
I just thought he'd be neutral on the
1:11
whole thing.
1:12
Hey, kids, vote for me.
1:14
Vote for me.
1:16
Weed.
1:16
Free weed.
1:17
Free weed, kids.
1:18
That's the only thing I can think of.
1:21
Well, look, RFK Jr.'s there.
1:24
So it's about, you know, the medicinal properties
1:26
and goodness of marijuana.
1:28
Which I can attest to.
1:30
Yeah, you can.
1:31
For well over, I think, for 47 years,
1:34
I felt very good from smoking weed.
1:37
But I got real productive once I stopped.
1:40
It's pretty amazing how that works.
1:42
Huh.
1:42
Yeah, I got- Shocker.
1:44
I got super productive.
1:48
You know, I have this quad screen.
1:50
Do you ever watch the quad screen on
1:51
YouTube TV?
1:52
Yeah.
1:53
So they make it hard to find.
1:56
It's always- You can put them together.
1:58
If you look at the bottom of the
2:01
menus, you can make your own quad screens.
2:05
Oh, well, I've tried to do that.
2:08
Yeah, I've done a number of times.
2:10
But that option only showed up once.
2:13
And I like the Fox, CNN, MSNOW, BBC
2:17
screen.
2:18
But, you know, they'll put it seven levels
2:21
down.
2:22
So you got to scroll down.
2:23
And then sometimes they'll mix it up.
2:25
Like, oh, here, try some sports quad screens.
2:28
Well, most of it's sports quad screen.
2:30
Yeah, but- That's where it came from.
2:32
But I like the news quad.
2:34
I think it's because they don't want me
2:35
to do it.
2:36
They don't- Because it's probably it's four
2:38
streams.
2:39
Maybe it's- Yeah, of course it is.
2:41
They hate me.
2:42
They hate me because of it.
2:44
That Curry guy keeps using this little feature
2:47
we got here.
2:48
That's Google.
2:49
By the way, I got a cool scam
2:50
call from Google.
2:52
You got a scam call from- It
2:54
wasn't from Google.
2:55
Yes, so my phone rang.
2:57
It showed up as Google in the screen,
3:02
which I thought was- Yeah, it says
3:03
Google, right?
3:04
It says Google, yeah.
3:05
And of course, right away I knew this
3:08
can never be Google because Google doesn't call
3:10
anybody ever.
3:12
Ever.
3:13
And you can't call them.
3:14
No.
3:15
So I answered it.
3:16
And it's a machine saying, you know, we
3:18
have an illegal login from Toronto.
3:20
If this was you, you can hang up.
3:22
If it wasn't you, press one.
3:24
I'm in a good mood.
3:25
One.
3:26
A representative will call you back.
3:29
Okay.
3:29
Ooh, that's a plus.
3:32
And so maybe a minute later, I get
3:35
a call also from a 650 number, which
3:38
the first one was 650 as well.
3:40
But this didn't have, didn't say Google.
3:41
So that was a little minus point.
3:44
And I'm kicking myself.
3:46
I should have recorded it.
3:47
A very well-spoken young lady on the
3:51
phone.
3:52
And she was from Google safety and security
3:55
team.
3:56
And, you know, we, we see this, this
3:58
login.
4:01
Was that you?
4:03
I said, no, it wasn't from Toronto.
4:05
And she had my phone number.
4:07
And she had my, my adamacurry.com email
4:09
address.
4:10
There's the dossier and everybody.
4:11
And it floats around.
4:13
So they all have it.
4:14
So don't be, nobody should ever be surprised
4:17
that they have your address.
4:18
So I just, no, of course not.
4:20
So I just wanted to see how far
4:21
we could go.
4:23
But it was, it was not like some
4:25
Indian chappie, you know, it was a, sounded
4:28
like a white woman.
4:29
It wasn't some Indian guy named Steve.
4:32
No, no, no.
4:33
And she was very pleasant as we understand
4:36
Mr. Curry.
4:37
And yeah, we, we, let's get this resolved.
4:40
And I said, well, did they get my
4:42
password?
4:43
She says, no, they didn't get your password.
4:46
Cause I see you have a two, two
4:49
factor authentication on your account.
4:51
Okay.
4:53
So, well, good.
4:54
Thanks.
4:54
Thanks for keeping me safe.
4:56
See, the only thing we need to do
4:57
is we need to, because this person keeps
4:59
opening tickets in our trouble ticket system.
5:04
We need you to close it out.
5:08
Oh, okay.
5:09
This is a good one.
5:10
I haven't, I've not, this is a, this
5:12
is a very creative.
5:13
So where, uh, how do I do that?
5:15
I want you to go to the following,
5:17
uh, address sites.
5:19
It's always here.
5:20
Here we go.
5:21
Hello sites.google.com slash close dash ticket.
5:27
I'm like, and I say to her, yeah,
5:29
but that's just where you can host a
5:31
public website on, on Google.
5:33
I mean, that, that doesn't sound very official.
5:36
I said, did you type it in and
5:37
say, yeah, I did.
5:38
Okay.
5:38
Now can you close the ticket?
5:40
I said, I can't say, Oh, why not
5:42
say I have a login screen.
5:43
Just log in.
5:44
I'm like, that doesn't seem like a good
5:46
idea, ma'am.
5:47
Like if this is just a public website,
5:49
then you might capture my email address and
5:52
my password.
5:53
I like the use of sites.google.com.
5:56
Cause it does.
5:57
Cause if you're naive about it, it gives
5:59
you confidence because it's got google.com in
6:01
there, even though it's like some, I said,
6:03
I said, well, you know, maybe you should
6:05
show me that you're really from Google.
6:07
Well, I just sent you an email, uh,
6:09
with your code.
6:10
So I look at my email.
6:11
There's a, from no dash reply at google
6:14
.com.
6:15
Okay.
6:15
It's spoofed.
6:15
I didn't look at the headers, but I
6:17
knew it was spoofed.
6:19
Um, and no link to do anything with
6:21
it.
6:21
I said, okay, I got a code.
6:23
Uh, I said, now can you close out
6:24
the ticket with that?
6:25
Cause yeah, but I'm not going to log
6:26
into sites.google.com.
6:29
Uh, and, and I said, what, what email
6:32
address did you send this to, to adammccurry
6:34
.com?
6:35
I said, that's not my Google email, my
6:36
Gmail address.
6:38
Well, yes, it is.
6:38
I said, no.
6:40
Yes, you have your site hosted, uh, by
6:43
Google workspace.
6:44
Okay.
6:45
So now she's in deep water because I
6:47
don't, obviously.
6:48
And in fact, I'm been very careful never
6:50
to link my adammccurry.com to Gmail or
6:53
anything like that.
6:55
Um, I said, but it's not, yes, it
6:57
is.
6:57
She's arguing with me now.
6:58
Yes.
6:59
Your site is hosted by Google workspace.
7:01
I see the MX record.
7:03
Whoa, now that's sophisticated.
7:06
I said, so you, yes, I see the
7:09
MX record has our email servers.
7:14
Now this is not true.
7:16
And I, I read her the MX record
7:18
as I pull it up.
7:19
I said, you know what?
7:21
Um, I'll, I'll make it, I'll make it
7:22
okay with you.
7:23
Just send me an email from you at
7:26
a google.com email address, not Gmail or
7:29
Google.
7:30
And then I'd be more inclined to believe
7:32
you.
7:32
At that point we're 15, 20 minutes in,
7:35
she hung up.
7:36
But she just hung up.
7:38
Yes.
7:38
Oh, you just disconnected.
7:40
Didn't even say she probably kicked herself for
7:42
talking to you at all.
7:43
Didn't say you a-hole or anything.
7:46
So I like it when they cuss you
7:47
out.
7:47
Yeah, no, she, she just gave up.
7:49
But, but in general, I'd say it's pretty
7:52
sophisticated.
7:54
From a confidence.
7:55
That sounds pretty good.
7:56
Yeah.
7:56
From like that, from a confidence.
7:58
And I like the sites that Google, like
7:59
the excellent, excellent work.
8:01
Yeah, good work foiled again.
8:04
But man, it just shows you how crap
8:07
everything is.
8:08
It really, everything sucks.
8:10
The whole internet, everything just blows.
8:12
It always has.
8:14
It's gotten worse.
8:15
Beginning of Usenet since they banned advertising.
8:18
Here we go.
8:19
Started with Usenet.
8:21
They let advertisers in.
8:22
That's where it all started.
8:26
Oh man.
8:27
So we have a couple things we can,
8:29
we can address right off the bat.
8:32
I would suggest either, since you have a
8:34
three by three, maybe we should start with,
8:38
with Wiles.
8:39
Because I think that's.
8:40
Yeah, this is kind of cute.
8:41
This is Susie Wiles.
8:43
Let me, let me play the jingle first.
8:57
I have thoughts about this too.
8:59
I'm sure you do.
9:00
Cause I do too.
9:01
Everybody does.
9:02
Everybody's got thoughts.
9:03
And the thing is, is like, was this
9:05
a plan?
9:06
Was this done on purpose?
9:07
Was Susie Wiles naive?
9:10
Because everybody goes around the table saying, well,
9:12
she should have known better than to talk
9:14
to Vanity Fair.
9:15
They're out to, they're just a bunch of
9:17
screw balls that hate Republicans.
9:20
And she shouldn't have done the interview.
9:21
And then somebody else brings up, well, she
9:23
got, she did 11 interviews.
9:25
It wasn't just one.
9:27
No, it was almost a year.
9:28
I think she was talking to him.
9:30
So she's yakking away for a while.
9:32
And then, and then nobody stabbed her in
9:34
the back after the thing came out, which
9:35
was Kelly McEnany said that most remarkable thing
9:39
was typically when they, when somebody is, is
9:41
wounded in one of these hit pieces that
9:44
there, a bunch of stuff starts showing up
9:46
about, you know, people behind the scenes say,
9:49
yeah, she's worse than that.
9:50
If you buy, buy, buy, buy, buy.
9:51
And none of that occurred.
9:53
So she thought that was pretty good.
9:54
Which makes me think the whole thing is
9:56
an op.
9:57
And then you had come back lines from
10:00
both J.D. Vance and Trump that were
10:03
stunners.
10:04
Yeah.
10:04
And I mean, Trump's was the best, but
10:07
J.D. Vance's little thing on conspiracy theories
10:10
is fabulous.
10:11
Well, can I just frame this for a
10:13
moment?
10:14
Because it's Vanity Fair, Vanity Fair.
10:17
The editor, global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, Guiducci.
10:23
Yes.
10:24
Guiducci.
10:24
Born in America, but educated in London, considers
10:30
himself to be British-Polish as part of
10:32
his, his background.
10:34
He has the global mandate for the, as
10:37
global editorial director and under Guiducci's leadership, Vanity
10:42
Fair has leaned back into its roots as
10:45
the primary chronicler of British monarchy for an
10:48
American audience.
10:49
The Royal Watch tradition.
10:52
Where did you get that quote?
10:55
From Google.
10:58
Oh, well, that's okay.
11:00
So yes, I can appreciate that.
11:02
North Sea Nexus.
11:03
Yeah.
11:04
Hit job.
11:05
Total hit.
11:06
But remember, he's under Anna Wintour's oversight.
11:09
Who is the chief?
11:10
She's the worst.
11:11
She's the one who turned, Teen Vogue became
11:13
a Marxist magazine.
11:15
They had to fold it finally.
11:17
LGBTQ nut job magazine.
11:20
Well, mostly, but Marxist.
11:21
They actually had articles on why Marxism is
11:25
good in Teen Vogue.
11:29
But this is, to me, this is a
11:30
typical North Sea Nexus hit job.
11:34
Yeah, but I don't think it worked.
11:36
No, but a long game though.
11:38
Long game.
11:39
Yeah, it's just one of those things.
11:41
You throw this stuff, you just start, you
11:43
pile on.
11:44
But so the media, they kind of, or
11:47
the mainstream three by three people, they come,
11:50
you know, they're not totally in the bag
11:52
for it.
11:54
But it's semi-balanced.
11:57
But let's listen to, let's listen to these
11:59
three networks talk about the same thing, starting
12:01
with ABC.
12:02
She is President Trump's most powerful and trusted
12:05
aide, more comfortable behind the scenes than in
12:07
the spotlight.
12:08
Suzy likes to stay sort of in the
12:10
back, let me tell you.
12:11
The ice baby.
12:12
We call her the ice baby.
12:14
But tonight, White House Chief of Staff Suzy
12:16
Wiles pulling back the curtain in an extraordinary
12:19
series of interviews with Vanity Fair.
12:22
Wiles, who says her father was an alcoholic,
12:24
describes her boss, the president, as having an
12:26
alcoholic's personality, noting that Trump, who does not
12:30
drink, operates with the view that there's nothing
12:32
he can't do.
12:33
Nothing.
12:34
Zero.
12:35
Nothing.
12:36
Wiles also has choice words for Vice President
12:38
J.D. Vance.
12:40
Discussing the push to release the FBI files
12:42
into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Wiles says Vance
12:45
has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade.
12:48
Vance today responding.
12:50
Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I
12:52
only believe in the conspiracy theories that are
12:53
true.
12:55
Wiles also points a finger at Attorney General
12:58
Pam Bondi.
12:59
Wow, they didn't play the whole bit where
13:00
he said he talked about the different conspiracy
13:02
theories.
13:03
That's shoddy.
13:04
No, the whole bit where he goes on
13:06
on Biden.
13:06
He gave him an opportunity to go off.
13:09
Yeah.
13:09
It was momentous.
13:11
And the networks, of course, gave him the
13:13
- No, no, we're not going to play
13:14
that.
13:14
We can't play that.
13:14
They're not going to play that.
13:15
Wiles also points a finger at Attorney General
13:18
Pam Bondi, saying Bondi completely whiffed her handling
13:21
of demands to release the files on convicted
13:24
sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
13:26
Wiles telling Vanity Fair there is no client
13:28
list, and it sure as hell wasn't on
13:30
Bondi's desk.
13:32
She does acknowledge the president himself is in
13:34
the Epstein files, but not doing anything awful.
13:38
She says the two men were sort of
13:40
young, single playboys together.
13:41
I never went to the island, and Bill
13:44
Clinton went there supposedly 28 times.
13:48
She also says this claim about Clinton is
13:51
not true.
13:52
Wiles telling Vanity Fair there is no evidence
13:54
Clinton ever visited Epstein's private island.
13:58
And David Wiles also acknowledges that the president
14:01
has sought retribution against some of his enemies,
14:03
saying, quote, when there's an opportunity, he will
14:06
go for it.
14:07
Tonight, Wiles calls the article a disingenuously framed
14:10
hit piece, though she doesn't deny saying these
14:12
things.
14:13
It warrants mentioning that Chris Whipple, Chris Whipple.
14:20
Whipple, who did this article, he literally wrote
14:24
the book on previous chiefs of staff.
14:27
So I think there was probably a little
14:30
bit of pride or ego something going on
14:33
there with Susie Wiles.
14:36
You know, I forget what the book is
14:37
called, but he went back and interviewed like
14:40
20 different chiefs of staff for presidents.
14:43
And it was it was a well-received
14:45
book.
14:46
So, you know, he came with credentials.
14:49
He had credentials, but doesn't mean even the
14:51
most credentialed journalist will do a hit piece
14:53
for money.
14:54
Of course.
14:55
That's what you do.
14:56
Yes, you do it.
14:59
I do it.
14:59
You did it.
15:00
You did it all the time.
15:02
Well, you are you were the Mac hit
15:04
man.
15:04
I'm the Mac again.
15:06
I'm going to shoot those Mac Mac.
15:08
I was hired to to to do nasty
15:10
pieces.
15:10
That's what I'm saying.
15:11
A big on the masthead of that magazine
15:14
said anti editor.
15:16
Yes.
15:16
How many people have ever held that title?
15:19
You are an amazing man.
15:21
Oh, yeah, it's astonishing.
15:25
We'll move alphabetical order.
15:27
We go to CBS.
15:28
Susie Wiles offered a stunning assessment of the
15:31
central characters in the White House, starting with
15:33
her boss, saying President Trump has an alcoholics
15:36
personality.
15:37
A notable comment from the daughter of NFL
15:39
and CBS sports legend Pat Summerall, who famously
15:42
struggled with alcohol.
15:44
Wiles says Trump has a view that there's
15:46
nothing he can't do.
15:47
Nothing.
15:48
Zero.
15:49
Nothing.
15:50
As for Vice President Vance, Wiles says he's
15:52
been a conspiracy theorist for a decade.
15:56
Exactly the same in Pennsylvania.
15:58
Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I
16:00
only believe in the conspiracy theories that are
16:02
true.
16:02
Wiles also had words for Elon Musk, she
16:05
called an avowed ketamine user an odd, odd
16:08
duck.
16:09
It's mostly just a lot of hard work.
16:10
And she said she was initially aghast when
16:12
Musk dismantled USAID as part of his cost
16:15
cutting Doge program.
16:16
No rational person could think the USAID process
16:19
was a good one, she said.
16:21
Nobody.
16:22
On the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has dogged
16:24
the White House, Wiles said the president wasn't
16:26
telling the truth when he accused former President
16:29
Bill Clinton of visiting the convicted sex offenders'
16:31
private island.
16:32
There's no evidence, she said.
16:34
The president was wrong about that.
16:37
The White House today tried to discredit author
16:39
Chris Whipple, who says he conducted 11 interviews
16:41
with Wiles over the course of a year.
16:43
This is, unfortunately, another example of disingenuous reporting,
16:48
where you have a reporter who took the
16:51
chief of staff's words wildly out of context,
16:54
did not include the context those conversations were
16:56
had within.
16:57
Wiles also pointed to moments where she tried
16:59
unsuccessfully to change the president's mind.
17:01
She urged him not to pardon the most
17:04
violent offenders during the January 6th insurrection, to
17:07
hold off on imposing massive tariffs on U
17:09
.S. allies this past spring, and to end
17:11
his score settling against critics after 90 days
17:14
in office.
17:15
Wiles, who's popular across the administration and close
17:18
with the president, called the article a, quote,
17:21
disingenuously framed hit piece.
17:23
And what does the president make of all
17:25
this?
17:25
Well, he told the New York Post this
17:26
afternoon, quote, she's done a fantastic job.
17:29
So as a former hit, hit man, hit
17:34
piece writer, hired, hired gun, how does this
17:37
work?
17:38
Do you, is, do they just really pull
17:41
quotes out of context?
17:43
Because I can see where she might have
17:45
said, well, J.D. Vance is a conspiracy
17:48
theorist, but man, he's been right a couple
17:50
of times.
17:51
Is that how it's done?
17:52
You just take that piece and you put
17:53
that in?
17:54
Yeah, you just, it's selective.
17:57
Editing.
17:58
Citation.
18:00
It's very common.
18:01
I mean, I had a hit piece done
18:02
on me.
18:04
And I know why.
18:06
I've been doing pieces on you for 18
18:08
years.
18:08
Yeah, but you're no good at it.
18:10
Tell us about the, this is another story.
18:12
I don't know.
18:13
Tell us about the hit piece.
18:15
I had written a very nasty remark, some
18:19
nasty remarks about Negroponte.
18:23
No, not that Negroponte, the one that was
18:27
running the MIT Media Lab.
18:29
Nicholas Negroponte.
18:31
Nicholas.
18:32
I wrote a scathing article about the whole
18:35
lab being a big phony baloney operation.
18:39
And I put it, it was in the
18:41
Deck Professional, a very minor magazine that, you
18:43
know, very only the aficionados read.
18:48
And Negroponte ended up at some position or
18:52
other at Wired.
18:54
And I remember that.
18:56
And I remember that, yeah.
18:56
So to get back at me, he had
18:59
Paulina Borsuk do a hit piece on me.
19:05
And what was the hit piece?
19:07
What did it say?
19:10
Well, Paulina could never pull it off.
19:12
I took, I wined and dined her.
19:14
I took her to a, she's a vegan
19:16
or vegetarian.
19:17
I took her to a vegetarian restaurant to
19:19
talk over some of this stuff.
19:20
I just, I did, I can put on
19:23
a charm offensive.
19:24
But did you know she was going to
19:26
write a hit piece?
19:26
No, it was, she was, she, I think
19:28
she hinted at me that she was, she
19:30
was writing a hit piece.
19:32
Well, that's not right.
19:34
No, no, it was, it was, it didn't
19:36
work out.
19:36
And they try and the piece was, it
19:39
was semi-successful in a couple of moments,
19:41
but it didn't get, didn't do it.
19:44
It didn't, it was, it's actually became a
19:46
pretty complimentary profile.
19:47
Let me guess.
19:48
It's like, he was wrong about the mouse.
19:50
He was wrong about the iPad.
19:53
He's no good.
19:54
It was, it wasn't like, it was similar,
19:58
but it was, but it was in what
20:00
they ran it as a, as a profile
20:02
and wired.
20:04
And they brought it, they brought out a
20:06
photographer to make me look like an idiot.
20:08
He wanted me to do something.
20:09
And I, by the way, this is for
20:10
anybody who wants a profile done.
20:12
Put on the clown nose.
20:13
It'll be great.
20:15
For anybody out there, you know this more
20:18
than anybody probably, but you have to, when
20:20
you're having your photo taken for some article
20:23
or something, do not let the photographer badger
20:27
you into stupid stuff.
20:30
Just say no.
20:32
Why don't you hold this, this mouse upside
20:34
down.
20:35
It'll look great in the shot.
20:37
Can you stick your tongue out?
20:39
Yeah.
20:39
Oh, there's a, there's another good one.
20:41
Yes.
20:42
Can you stick your tongue out?
20:43
Look really surprised.
20:48
So, so, so I avoided that part of
20:51
it.
20:51
I said, no, good for you.
20:52
And so the East, I still got, he
20:54
still got a funny picture of me, but
20:55
it was okay.
20:56
I, if I actually, actually it was so
20:58
interesting.
20:59
The photo I had them send me a
21:00
copy.
21:01
So, um, all right, back, back to the
21:03
hit piece from vanity fair.
21:05
So this, so yes, it's very easy to
21:07
do.
21:07
It's, you know, it doesn't take a, if
21:10
you're going to do 11 interviews, you can
21:11
get more than enough material to do a
21:13
beautiful hit piece.
21:14
They never needed to do a hit piece
21:16
on you.
21:16
Just rerun the YouTube video of you trying
21:18
to put that IBM PC back together.
21:22
That's my favorite is a PS2.
21:24
It should work.
21:25
Hold on a second.
21:27
I just need a screwdriver and a solder
21:30
and a soldering iron.
21:31
I can do this.
21:32
It should fit.
21:32
No, they all snapped back into place.
21:34
It was dynamite.
21:35
Except that one.
21:38
It's a great clip.
21:40
Hey, if that's all that you did wrong,
21:42
you know, beside the mouse and iPad thing,
21:45
I'll give you another story about me.
21:49
So David Renson, who used to do these
21:51
profiles, he used to be the writer for
21:54
playboy magazine.
21:55
And somehow along the lines, when I was
21:58
cranking out all these books, Renson got, I
22:02
was targeted to be profiled by PC magazine.
22:06
I'm not bad.
22:06
I'm sorry by playboy in this 40 questions.
22:10
They had some gimmicky thing called 20 questions
22:12
or something.
22:13
I forgot what it was years ago.
22:14
It's like, you think you're going to be
22:15
the main interview, but you're not.
22:18
I don't know what, it doesn't matter because
22:21
Renson comes over and we ended up talking
22:22
about writing and all kinds of stuff.
22:24
And eventually it turns out, which I told
22:27
him, I said, I'm actually kind of boring
22:29
for this sort of article.
22:30
You're not going to, it's not going to
22:31
be very good.
22:33
And he, he agreed.
22:35
He agreed.
22:36
I never got, never got written up and
22:38
it was fine with me.
22:40
All right.
22:42
I got some clips on this too.
22:44
So let's play NBC and see if they
22:45
had the same story.
22:47
Same story, same clip.
22:49
Okay.
22:50
Tonight there's remarkably revealing comments about president Trump
22:52
from his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, a
22:55
relationship so close, the president recently suggested she's
22:58
part of the family.
22:59
Do you know Susie Trump?
23:01
Sometimes referred to Susie Wiles, Susie Trump.
23:04
But tonight she's facing new scrutiny for a
23:06
series of interviews with Vanity Fair about criticism.
23:09
The president is targeting perceived political enemies.
23:12
Wiles says, I don't think he wakes up
23:14
thinking about retribution, but when there's an opportunity,
23:17
he will go for it.
23:19
She also says president Trump, who does not
23:21
drink, has an alcoholic's personality adding he operates
23:24
with a view that there's nothing he can't
23:26
do calling herself an expert in big personalities.
23:29
Tonight, president Trump saying he agrees with her
23:32
telling the New York post.
23:33
He has a possessive and addictive type personality.
23:36
I'm fortunate I'm not a drinker.
23:38
Praising Wiles saying, I don't read Vanity Fair,
23:41
but she's done a fantastic job.
23:44
Then there's the vice president who Wiles describes
23:46
as a conspiracy theorist for a decade.
23:49
Vance today brushing it off.
23:51
Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I
23:53
only believe in the conspiracy theories that are
23:54
true.
23:55
And by the way, Susie and I have
23:56
joked in private and public about that for
23:59
a long time.
23:59
And she contradicts the president's claim Bill Clinton
24:02
visited Jeffrey Epstein's island saying there is no
24:05
evidence those visits.
24:06
No evidence.
24:07
Acknowledging the president was wrong about that.
24:10
Wiles tonight is strongly pushing back against the
24:12
article, calling it a disingenuously framed hit piece
24:15
on me and the finest president, White House
24:18
staff and cabinet in history.
24:20
Adding significant context was disregarded to paint an
24:23
overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative.
24:27
So first, I want to play some of
24:30
those actual JD Vance quotes because they were
24:32
funny.
24:33
And of course, no one picked it up.
24:36
But here's his full answer.
24:38
They literally cut this part out in that
24:40
NBC piece.
24:41
Well, first of all, if Susie is like,
24:47
I'll trust what you said.
24:49
I haven't looked at the article.
24:50
I, of course, have heard about it.
24:51
But conspiracy theorists.
24:53
That was very slick.
24:54
I think that's very slick what he said
24:56
there.
24:57
Because most of them say, I haven't read
24:59
the article.
25:01
Which, of course, he has.
25:02
But instead, he says, I'm familiar with it.
25:05
I haven't read the article.
25:06
I'm a busy man.
25:07
I'm vice president.
25:08
But I, of course, I'm familiar with it.
25:10
That is the way you address that.
25:12
Instead of saying, I poured over and over
25:15
my cornflakes, which, you know, he did.
25:16
Because, of course, he did.
25:18
Like, I'll trust what you said.
25:20
I haven't looked at the article.
25:21
I, of course, have heard about it.
25:23
But conspiracy theorists.
25:26
Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist.
25:27
But I only believe in the conspiracy theories
25:29
that are true.
25:30
Yeah.
25:33
Crowd goes wild.
25:36
And by the way, Susie and I have
25:38
joked in private and in public about that
25:41
for a long time.
25:41
For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy
25:44
theory back in 2020 that it was stupid
25:47
to mask three-year-olds at the height
25:49
of the COVID pandemic.
25:51
That we should actually let them develop some
25:54
language skills.
25:55
You know, I believed in this crazy conspiracy
25:58
theory that the media and the government were
26:01
covering up the fact that Joe Biden was
26:02
clearly unable to do the job.
26:11
And I believed in the conspiracy theory that
26:13
Joe Biden was trying to throw his political
26:15
opponents in jail rather than win an argument
26:17
against his political opponents.
26:19
So, at least on some of these conspiracy
26:25
theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory
26:27
is just something that was true six months
26:29
before the media admitted it.
26:31
And that's my understanding.
26:34
It was good.
26:35
That was excellent.
26:36
Yeah, I thought it was very good.
26:37
But of course, that never saw the light
26:39
of day.
26:39
Who cares?
26:41
Jen Psaki had an interesting comment in her...
26:47
Anyone watch that show?
26:48
Do we even know when it's on?
26:49
Pretty much.
26:50
The only people who watch the show are
26:53
gut-filled.
26:54
Well, here we go.
26:54
Let me start with this.
26:56
There is a little-known tradition in Washington.
26:58
Whenever a new administration takes office, the new
27:01
president's incoming chief of staff has dinner with
27:04
all the previous chiefs of staff.
27:05
Usually, one of them hosts it at their
27:06
house or at a restaurant or whatever it
27:08
may be.
27:09
And chiefs of staff from both parties attend.
27:12
And they all do this so that they
27:13
can offer advice to the new incoming chief
27:16
of staff on how to prepare for the
27:18
role.
27:18
It's kind of a nice tradition through multiple
27:21
different administrations of both parties.
27:24
Everyone on MSNBC, you'll hear a couple more.
27:27
They all sound sick.
27:28
There's a bug going around at NBC.
27:32
They all sound sick.
27:33
You'll hear...
27:34
It could be.
27:35
It would make sense.
27:36
Yeah, they're all sick.
27:37
And when Trump won the election last year,
27:39
his new chief of staff, Susie Wiles, reportedly
27:42
attended one of those dinners too.
27:45
They each went around the table giving her
27:47
tips, as they normally do, for how to
27:49
do the job.
27:50
And when they got to Trump's first chief
27:52
of staff, Ryan Priebus, he had just one
27:55
piece of advice for Susie Wiles.
27:57
Just one.
27:57
He told her, quote, don't talk to Whipple.
28:03
Yeah.
28:04
Well, there you go.
28:05
She was warned.
28:07
She was warned.
28:07
Now, I have to add...
28:09
Don't talk to Whipple.
28:11
Now, that is funny.
28:12
Yeah, it's very funny.
28:13
I have to add, at the behest of
28:17
the troll room, we have to say that
28:19
Susie Wiles worked for Netanyahu.
28:21
So it's possible she's a Mossad agent and
28:24
is trying single-handedly to bring down the
28:26
president.
28:27
Just have to mention that.
28:30
So don't talk to Whipple.
28:32
Well, the person who did talk to Whipple
28:34
is our own British agent, Anderson Cooper.
28:37
Joining me now is Chris Whipple in his
28:39
first broadcast interview since his two-part Vanity
28:41
Fair piece landed.
28:42
He's also the author of the New York
28:43
Times bestseller, The Gatekeepers.
28:45
It landed like a lead balloon.
28:47
The White House chiefs of staff define every
28:49
presidency.
28:50
Chris, thanks for being with us.
28:51
Great to be here.
28:52
A lot to talk about.
28:53
First of all, of all the things Susie
28:55
Wiles told you, what surprised you the most?
28:58
You know, Anderson, this was one of those
29:00
cases as a reporter in your career when
29:03
lightning strikes.
29:05
And it was astonishing to me the extent
29:09
to which she was unguarded and freewheeling on
29:12
the record all the time.
29:14
I've covered, as you know, I wrote a
29:16
book about the Biden White House where everybody
29:18
was on deep background requiring quote approval.
29:21
Quite the opposite in this case.
29:23
Susie Wiles in 11 interviews over 11 months.
29:27
That's how many?
29:27
There were 11 interviews over 11 months.
29:29
11 in-depth interviews in which she was
29:31
on the record.
29:33
Everything in the article was on the record.
29:36
Were you recording every interview?
29:37
I recorded every interview.
29:39
Even ones that were on the phone.
29:40
There was one where she was doing laundry,
29:42
apparently.
29:42
Yeah, everything is on tape.
29:43
Did she know this was for Vanity Fair?
29:45
Did she think this was for a long
29:47
-term book that you were doing?
29:48
She knew I was working on a book
29:50
at the outset.
29:50
When I told her that Vanity Fair had
29:52
agreed to do a piece, to publish a
29:54
piece, she was all in and enthusiastic about
29:58
it.
29:59
Okay, so show some transparency from the Trump
30:03
White House.
30:04
I'm doing laundry.
30:06
You can talk to me, Whipple.
30:07
No problem.
30:08
Why?
30:09
Because she is legendarily averse to being out
30:13
front.
30:14
That's why I say that this was lightning
30:15
striking.
30:16
It's amazing to me.
30:18
First of all, I think that she is
30:21
the most fascinating person in American politics.
30:24
Not only because she ran a brilliant campaign
30:27
and brought Trump back from the dead to
30:29
win the 2024 election.
30:31
She's the first female White House chief of
30:34
staff.
30:35
But in addition, she's kind of the Greta
30:36
Garbo of White House chiefs.
30:38
She's never on camera, rarely on camera, hardly
30:42
ever gives interviews.
30:43
And yet she did.
30:44
I think it's because all I can tell
30:46
you is what she told me.
30:47
She felt the Trump 1.0 had been
30:50
unfairly covered.
30:52
That Trump was vilified.
30:53
During the first administration.
30:54
The first administration.
30:56
She wanted a fair hearing.
30:57
And I think she thought she would get
31:00
one.
31:00
Yeah, she thought she would get one.
31:02
She thought she would get one.
31:03
Yes.
31:04
Now, in this next clip, he slips up
31:07
and the truth comes out.
31:09
Here's the fascinating thing.
31:11
And that is not only is there this
31:13
amazing 11 month journey that I document of
31:17
Susie Wiles through this whole period, but it
31:19
really goes all the way back to her
31:21
childhood and her famous father, Pat Summerall, who
31:24
was an alcoholic.
31:26
She organized interventions with her mother to get
31:28
treatment for him.
31:30
He was sober for 21 years.
31:31
But she learned how to deal with difficult
31:34
men.
31:34
It is a fascinating data point that, I
31:38
mean, I certainly didn't know about her, that,
31:39
you know, adult children of people who grew
31:43
up with alcoholics are, I mean, she's in
31:47
sort of the perfect job.
31:48
I mean, it sort of makes sense that
31:50
what she learned as a little girl and
31:57
throughout her life dealing with him.
31:59
And Trump is owning it.
32:01
Trump is wearing it, in effect, as a
32:03
kind of badge of honor.
32:04
He's saying what she meant when she said
32:05
that he has an alcoholic's personality is not
32:08
that he's a drinker.
32:09
We know that he's not, but that he
32:11
has this grandiose personality.
32:14
He believes that there is nothing, as she
32:16
put it, nothing.
32:18
That he doesn't think he can do.
32:20
She is saying Susie Wiles pushed back on
32:21
the story on social media, saying, quote, significant
32:24
context was disregarded.
32:26
Actually, so that was a funny bit, but
32:28
that wasn't the clip with the slip up.
32:30
It's the last one here, and you'll hear
32:31
it.
32:31
Here's the fascinating thing, and that is not
32:34
only is there.
32:34
Wait, isn't that the same clip?
32:37
Wait a minute.
32:38
That doesn't make sense.
32:40
This is so good.
32:41
She is saying Susie Wiles pushed back about
32:43
saying stuff.
32:45
Crap.
32:45
Maybe it's in this one.
32:46
One of the things the White House is
32:47
saying, things were taken out of context.
32:51
Wildly out of context was the quote of
32:54
Leavitt.
32:56
Are things taken out of context?
32:58
Because some of the quotes are, they're tight.
33:00
I mean, they're just everything.
33:02
What does that even mean in writer speak?
33:05
Some of the quotes, they're tight.
33:06
What does that mean?
33:08
It doesn't mean anything.
33:09
Okay.
33:10
Are things taken out of context?
33:12
Because some of the quotes are, they're tight.
33:14
I mean, they're just, it's like.
33:15
Everything is, was scrupulously in context.
33:18
And I got to tell you the giveaway
33:20
when you're a journalist and you hear the
33:22
target, the subject.
33:27
There it is.
33:28
Beautiful.
33:29
If you're going for a hit job, you
33:31
don't have a subject.
33:33
You have a target.
33:34
Yeah.
33:35
He admits it.
33:35
He admits it right there.
33:37
Yeah.
33:38
You caught that.
33:39
You get, in fact, you get a borderline
33:41
clip of the day for catching that.
33:42
That's beautiful.
33:43
All right, let's finish this clip.
33:47
It was out of taking out of context
33:48
because some of the quotes are, they're tight.
33:50
I mean, they're just, it's like.
33:51
Everything is, was scrupulously in context.
33:55
And I got to tell you the giveaway
33:56
when you're a journalist and you hear the
33:58
target, the subject saying, talking about things like
34:03
context and omissions, you know, you're on the
34:06
right track because there isn't a single fact
34:10
or a single assertion that they've challenged in
34:12
the piece.
34:12
It really reminds me of the Watergate days
34:15
when Ben Bradley said, talked about non-denial
34:18
denials.
34:18
This is the ultimate non-denial.
34:21
They're not really attacking.
34:22
Well, I never, I absolutely never said that,
34:24
although.
34:25
All right, you give us some context on
34:27
this.
34:27
The non-denial, I looked it up, the
34:29
non-denial denial.
34:30
Is that some kind of, what's the term?
34:35
I have no idea.
34:35
This is all news to me.
34:37
I mean, what he's saying there, you know,
34:39
yes, if somebody, if you say, well, I
34:41
think that really sucks.
34:44
But then again, it might not suck.
34:46
And then the quote is, that really sucks.
34:49
Yeah, I did say that.
34:53
And so you can't deny it.
34:55
But the non-denial denial to whatever the
34:57
hell that phrase is, you could say it's
35:00
out of context because I also said, I
35:04
also said, but sometimes it doesn't suck or
35:07
whatever.
35:07
I mean, this is the kind of thing
35:09
when you take selective quotations and you just
35:11
pull them.
35:12
This is why sarcasm is a bad idea
35:15
on podcasts or even in conversation or anywhere
35:22
where you're being interviewed to say something sarcastic.
35:24
They'll take the sarcastic bit.
35:25
They'll just take the remark and then without
35:29
the sarcastic tone, if it's played flat, I
35:32
mean, Tucker Carlson has all kinds of good
35:35
quotes.
35:36
If you don't know, if they're taken out
35:38
of context and they're not played as sarcasm.
35:41
I can't do it.
35:42
I can't do it.
35:45
If they're taken as a direct quote rather
35:48
than sarcasm, it can make you sound terrible,
35:51
like a terrible person.
35:53
Let's finish this clip.
35:54
Susie Wiles did at one point say that
35:57
she denied saying that Elon Musk is an
36:00
avowed ketamine user.
36:02
You then apparently, according to the report, you
36:04
played a tape for the New York Times,
36:05
which confirmed that quote.
36:06
It's on tape, as is every assertion that
36:09
Susie made.
36:10
And as you know, I interviewed the inner
36:12
circle as well.
36:13
I talked to J.D. Vance.
36:14
I talked to Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller and
36:18
others.
36:19
All of it taped, all of it on
36:21
the record.
36:22
And the giveaway is that they haven't been
36:25
able to challenge a single fact.
36:26
Are you surprised that the president is not,
36:28
apparently, it seems, but at least publicly, not
36:31
angry with Wiles?
36:32
Well, here's the other thing.
36:33
As you say, it's not very often that
36:35
you get an endorsement of your quotation from
36:39
the president.
36:40
You know, he...
36:41
The alcoholic personality.
36:42
Yeah, he evidently wears that as a badge
36:44
of honor.
36:45
Yes.
36:46
Wonderful.
36:47
I hate to do this, but it is
36:49
worth it for the entertainment purposes.
36:51
I'm sorry.
36:51
Here's your warning.
36:52
At the tone, a clip from The View
36:54
will be played.
36:56
Shelter in place.
36:57
Well, Susie Wiles calls the article, quote, disingenuously
37:01
framed, hit piece, with significant context disregarded.
37:06
Context?
37:07
But what was she thinking?
37:08
Was she ready to do this?
37:10
When they asked the first question and you
37:12
knew it was a question that was hit
37:15
piece, why did you answer it?
37:16
I know.
37:17
One thing that I forgot to add, she
37:18
called Elon Musk an odd duck and an
37:22
avowed ketamine user.
37:24
He sleeps in a sleeping bag.
37:25
But then she added that she has no
37:26
personal knowledge of the ketamine use, but she
37:28
did call him an avowed ketamine user.
37:30
He's a multi-trillionaire and he sleeps in
37:32
a sleeping bag.
37:32
Because he's an odd duck.
37:34
He's a very odd duck.
37:35
I would agree with that assessment.
37:37
Is there something wrong with sleeping in a
37:39
sleeping bag?
37:40
Well, no.
37:41
I guess, fine, whatever.
37:44
I'm just curious.
37:45
If that's what he wants to do, who
37:46
am I to judge?
37:47
He's a kabillionaire.
37:49
You know, it's a very expensive sleeping bag.
37:52
They just, you know, she has also...
37:55
Were they not prepped?
37:56
Were they not prepped for this?
37:58
I mean, they don't seem to have any
37:59
details.
38:02
They don't have good jokes that go with
38:05
it.
38:05
I mean, this is a scripted show.
38:06
I'm kind of surprised.
38:08
It seems like they weren't in on the
38:09
gaff.
38:11
Yeah, they obviously weren't read in on anything.
38:14
And they're just winging it.
38:16
And it's not good.
38:17
No, it's not good at all.
38:19
Then they're picking on poor Musk.
38:21
Odd duck, yeah, gee, that's horrible.
38:24
What a thing to say about someone.
38:26
He sleeps in a sleeping bag.
38:28
He sleeps in a sleeping bag.
38:30
You know, they used to talk about Steve
38:31
Jobs, the ascetic, who had this big mansion
38:35
in Woodside that was empty.
38:37
And he walked around barefoot.
38:40
Yeah, crazy.
38:41
And that was it.
38:42
Let the world know that there is an
38:44
adult in the room.
38:45
Yeah.
38:45
That was also with this.
38:47
She let the see, I think it was
38:49
strategic in a different way.
38:51
I think she's trying to help him clean
38:52
up his act.
38:54
Because if she says, well, you know, it
38:57
was just boys having fun, just like, um,
39:01
really?
39:02
You know, oh, it was just, you know,
39:04
this one didn't do what she was supposed
39:05
to do.
39:06
And this one didn't.
39:07
But I'm on top of it all.
39:09
I'm watching it all.
39:10
I just think you're just trying to clean
39:12
it up for them.
39:13
She says that it's interesting point.
39:14
She made that her father was an alcoholic.
39:16
And she understands the personality of an alcoholic.
39:19
So that's why she says he has an
39:21
alcoholic personality.
39:22
But he doesn't drink.
39:24
He has a narcissistic disorder.
39:26
That is really what he had.
39:28
But he responded to it.
39:29
He was not offended by it.
39:31
No, he made it.
39:32
He also had an alcoholic brother.
39:33
I think he got what she was saying.
39:35
He understood what she was saying.
39:36
OK, they're off.
39:38
They're not in the game anymore.
39:39
They're out.
39:41
This sounds like this was a targeted, well
39:44
done, long game.
39:46
It acknowledged hit piece because Susie Wiles was
39:49
the target.
39:51
So what I think that I think it
39:53
was played both ways.
39:54
I think Susie Wiles was aware of the
39:56
situation, as mentioned by the earlier clip where
39:59
she was told not to talk to this
40:00
guy.
40:01
And the thing was kind of a setup
40:03
because there's a bunch of setup lines in
40:05
there.
40:05
And I think one of them, the most
40:06
important one is, yeah, Trump, Trump doesn't.
40:09
He says it's not true.
40:10
But if he's given the opportunity to take
40:13
revenge on somebody, he does it, which is
40:16
an open threat to anyone who wants to
40:18
go after Trump because he says he's not
40:22
into revenge.
40:24
But there it is.
40:25
He's into revenge.
40:26
So you better beware.
40:27
I think that was a message that was
40:29
purposely put in there.
40:31
And I think a lot of the stuff
40:33
in there was purposely put in.
40:34
He thinks he can do anything because he's
40:36
in other words, he can try anything.
40:38
I think it was I think the whole
40:40
thing was a scam.
40:41
I think she was part of it.
40:43
She would she's smart.
40:45
Everyone says she's something of a genius in
40:48
this regard.
40:49
She played Whipple.
40:51
And the whole thing is a benefit to
40:53
Trump at the end of the day.
40:56
There's lines that by J.D. Vance was
40:58
almost prepared in advance.
41:01
Yeah.
41:02
Yeah.
41:02
Good point.
41:03
Even though he didn't read the article.
41:05
Yeah, we didn't have to because they already
41:07
told him what was going to happen.
41:09
This is they're going to go after you
41:10
advance for being a conspiracy theory.
41:12
Here's your lines.
41:13
So it was really a switcheroo where they
41:15
all went now and Whipple is probably like,
41:18
ah, he's going to call me a horrible
41:19
person and my star will rise.
41:22
And that was like Whipple who?
41:25
Yeah, it's possible.
41:27
It is possible because some of the information
41:29
in there was a bit threatening to the
41:32
enemies.
41:33
So last night, the president spoke to the
41:38
nation.
41:39
I couldn't watch it.
41:40
I tried watching it.
41:41
I got through about five minutes.
41:43
I said, this is just another just another
41:46
another.
41:47
So for so forth and so on speech,
41:50
I've heard it before.
41:51
Well, there was some preamble that is that
41:54
is interesting.
41:56
As Tucker continues his worldwide podcast tour.
41:59
He was on with Judge Knapp.
42:04
Oh, God.
42:05
There's a comedy.
42:06
She brings those old Fox buddies because, you
42:08
know, Judge Knapp, Napolitano was working there when
42:12
Tucker was there.
42:13
So here's a short exchange that that I
42:17
caught yesterday.
42:17
I was like, hmm, interesting.
42:19
Is Trump going to start a war in
42:22
Venezuela?
42:23
I don't know.
42:24
I don't know when this program airs, the
42:27
one that we're on right now.
42:28
Well, we're we're live now and then it'll
42:32
be posted immediately.
42:34
So right now is I don't know the
42:38
answer.
42:38
I I've certainly been on the phone a
42:41
lot about it.
42:42
I have no power.
42:43
I'm a podcaster, but I'm very interested.
42:46
And here's what I know so far, which
42:48
is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday
42:52
that a war is coming and it'll be
42:54
announced in the address to the nation tonight
42:57
at nine o'clock by the president.
42:59
Who knows, by the way, if that will
43:00
actually happen?
43:01
I don't know.
43:02
And I never want to overstate what I
43:04
know, which is pretty limited in general.
43:06
But a member of Congress told me that
43:08
this morning.
43:09
OK, so let's just summarize.
43:11
The word is out.
43:12
The president is going to announce war with
43:15
Venezuela tonight.
43:16
That's why he asked for a network cut
43:18
in.
43:19
And this network cut in was significant on
43:22
CBS.
43:22
They were running the season finale of Survivor.
43:25
You know, it's kind of a big deal.
43:28
Yeah, it's a good time to do it.
43:30
Yeah.
43:30
So for Trump, I mean, if you want
43:33
to screw over CBS.
43:35
So the question is, was this one of
43:37
those?
43:38
Let's tell a few selective people this or
43:41
maybe one.
43:43
Let's see who where it leaks out.
43:48
Because I think it was done on purpose,
43:50
not for not to see who who did
43:52
it, who lets it leak out.
43:53
You definitely tell Tucker.
43:55
But I think it was to get the
43:56
audience to listen to the Trump spiel.
43:59
I agree that it was it was a
44:02
what was a pre pre promotion.
44:04
Promote.
44:05
What do you call it?
44:06
The promo.
44:07
Sue's bait and switches what it was.
44:09
But it was pre recorded, obviously.
44:11
And and I think it was like, OK,
44:14
Mr. President, they're probably not going to give
44:16
you more than 20 minutes before they realize
44:18
you're not going to announce war against Venezuela.
44:21
So you got to talk.
44:22
Yeah, that's what was so short.
44:23
Talk fast.
44:24
Talk to the whole line.
44:27
You made an unbelievable point there.
44:30
Whenever have we seen Trump talk 15 minutes?
44:34
Never, never.
44:36
He'd go two hours if you give him
44:38
a shot at it.
44:39
Yeah, and it was.
44:41
You're right.
44:41
That's exactly what happened.
44:42
They're going to give you, you know, they're
44:44
going to kill you here after after 15
44:46
minutes, making a 15 minute promotional speech and
44:49
get out.
44:50
I think he made it 17.
44:51
That's pretty much how far he got.
44:53
17 minutes.
44:54
So it was, you know, Biden sucks.
44:57
We're great.
44:58
We're great.
44:59
It sucks.
45:00
We're great.
45:01
And we're giving seventeen hundred and seventy six
45:03
dollars as a bonus to every everyone in
45:05
the Department of War.
45:06
Well, that was nice.
45:07
Yeah, that was cute.
45:08
That was cute.
45:09
Cute.
45:10
Cute.
45:10
And don't worry, because everything's going to be
45:15
great, which did we get the CPI print
45:18
today?
45:18
Because that's the way I took it is,
45:20
oh, inflation must be doing OK.
45:22
Let me see.
45:23
Let me see.
45:25
I think it's around two point nine three.
45:28
So that's down.
45:30
That's down.
45:31
It's not that down.
45:33
Economists see a lot of OK.
45:35
All right.
45:35
Hold on a second.
45:36
Two point seven and two point six.
45:39
Well below expectations.
45:42
He knew it.
45:43
He knew what was coming.
45:44
So, yeah, well, that number is just a
45:48
number.
45:49
Of course, it's just it's all bullcrap.
45:51
Money's not even real.
45:52
The birds aren't real.
45:53
Everything's fake.
45:54
Hello.
45:55
Yeah.
45:55
But just stick to our script, man.
45:57
OK, we just like just roll with it.
46:00
That's how this is, how this operates.
46:03
Inflation is below three percent for the first
46:05
time.
46:06
Trump did it.
46:07
He knew it.
46:08
He knew that number was like right at
46:10
the beginning.
46:10
Trump had the line, which always bothers me
46:12
when he does this.
46:14
He says that inflation under Biden was the
46:16
worst in 40 years, maybe the worst in
46:18
history, maybe, which is like anybody who's older
46:23
than I don't know what was the late
46:25
70s.
46:26
During the 70s, when the market stock market
46:29
crashed in 69, it was in the 1970s.
46:32
20 percent.
46:33
Yeah, yeah.
46:35
I mean, I remember in 19, you see,
46:39
we bought a house in New Jersey in
46:40
1991, I think.
46:43
No, maybe 1990.
46:45
I was paying, I think, 10 percent interest
46:48
on my mortgage.
46:50
And that was low interest rates on mortgages
46:53
went to 18 to 21 percent by the
46:57
end of the Carter administration.
46:58
Yes.
47:00
So, yeah, I don't like that either.
47:01
So I was like, but when he says
47:03
maybe, OK, that's.
47:05
Yeah, but he knows better.
47:08
He was there for the inflation.
47:10
He was there for the crash of 32.
47:13
What are you talking about?
47:14
He was there for all of it.
47:15
He's been around.
47:17
So he has to stop doing that.
47:20
So then we get the just sticking with
47:24
the North Sea Nexus for a moment.
47:26
Then we get the blockade because we're not
47:28
going to war.
47:28
But what are we doing?
47:30
Welcome back to live now from Fox.
47:32
I'm Shauna Calafi with some breaking news.
47:34
I only chose her because she actually read
47:36
part of his truth post from President Trump.
47:40
He is ordering a blockade of all sanctioned
47:43
oil tankers into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on
47:47
Maduro.
47:48
This is a post from President Trump on
47:50
Truth Social.
47:51
Just a short while ago, he said Venezuela
47:53
is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever
47:57
assembled in the history of South America.
47:59
It will only get bigger and the shock
48:02
to them will be like nothing they have
48:04
ever seen before.
48:05
Until such time as they return to the
48:07
United States of America, all of the oil,
48:10
land and other assets that they previously stole
48:13
from us.
48:14
The illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil from
48:18
the stolen oil fields to finance themselves drug
48:21
terrorism, human trafficking, murder and kidnapping for the
48:26
theft of our assets and many other reasons,
48:29
including terrorism, drug smuggling and human trafficking.
48:32
The Venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign
48:36
terrorist organization.
48:38
So I just want to add some context
48:40
to this because people forget things.
48:43
And, you know, you do a show like
48:45
this for almost two decades.
48:46
You remember stuff like the horrible things Michelle
48:49
Reiner said.
48:50
We'll talk about that later.
48:53
Ten years ago, Maduro nationalized our oil companies,
48:59
refinery that they had there, the drills, the
49:04
rigs, the oil, everything.
49:06
They took everything.
49:07
Took it.
49:08
And that was Chavez who did that.
49:10
Yes.
49:10
But we've been fighting that for 10 years
49:12
saying, hey, give us our stuff back.
49:15
I think that was Chevron.
49:17
And, of course, just a little bit under
49:20
a year ago, Maduro said, yeah, we're taking
49:23
Esquibo, the very oil rich segment of Guyana.
49:29
And they're saying, hey, this is ours.
49:31
But, of course, it's not because the licenses
49:35
and the quote unquote ownership of the oil
49:38
is for Exxon.
49:40
So when he says, give me back our
49:43
oil, land and other assets.
49:45
Yeah, that's absolutely true.
49:47
But people forget this.
49:49
Meanwhile, play this clip.
49:50
U.N. sides with Venezuela.
49:53
Yeah, this is good.
49:56
The U.N. Secretary General has called for
49:58
the de-escalation of tensions between the U
50:00
.S. and Venezuela.
50:01
António Guterres made the comment after a phone
50:04
call with President Maduro.
50:06
Yeah, yeah.
50:07
Well, they're very forgetful.
50:09
But, of course, he called them out in
50:10
the in the national strategic security document saying
50:17
we're not listening to global organizations anymore.
50:20
I think they take that to heart.
50:22
That's you, people.
50:25
Then, you know, just to stick with it,
50:27
you know, we've we've got to we've got
50:30
to get Mexico.
50:31
We've got to get those guys.
50:32
We got it.
50:32
We got to anywhere there's British money.
50:35
We got to cut it off.
50:36
That's why today I'm taking one more step
50:38
to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly
50:41
fentanyl flooding into our country.
50:43
With this historic executive order I will sign
50:46
today, we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon
50:50
of mass destruction, which is what it is.
50:54
No bomb does what this is doing.
50:57
Two hundred to three hundred thousand people die
50:59
every year that we know of.
51:03
So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon
51:06
of mass destruction.
51:09
Ah, he loves saying that.
51:11
Let's hear the two sides of the argument.
51:13
First, from Fox News.
51:14
That's why today- Oops.
51:16
Fentanyl's been a major problem in the United
51:17
States, not only the illegal flow of it
51:19
into the country, but another concern that isn't
51:22
mentioned as much, using the substance in some
51:25
sort of weapon.
51:26
The Trump administration is now classifying this stuff
51:28
as an actual weapon of mass destruction.
51:30
Will that be enough to stop it?
51:31
When you're working in the Department of Defense
51:34
on weapons of mass destruction, was there any
51:36
evidence of that possibly happening or any sort
51:40
of group getting the capability to happen?
51:42
That's the first time I've heard of something
51:43
like that.
51:44
John, the example, actually, there is a real
51:47
world example.
51:47
In 2002, Chechen terrorists seized a crowded theater
51:51
and threatened to execute hundreds of hostages in
51:55
Russia.
51:55
Well, the security forces, the Russian security forces,
51:59
they didn't want to engage with 40 well
52:02
-armed terrorists.
52:03
So what they decided to do was pump
52:05
a fentanyl analog into the theater's ventilation system,
52:08
which incapacitated nearly everyone inside the theater.
52:12
They stormed the building, they shot unconscious terrorists,
52:15
and they brought out a bunch of hostages.
52:18
But in the aftermath, there were 130 hostages
52:21
that died because of the fentanyl that was
52:25
blasted through the ventilation system.
52:28
And so that demonstrates the potency of it.
52:31
And so that was an aerialized form.
52:34
Subsequently, I should point out that the Chemical
52:36
Weapons Convention has said, hey, you can't use
52:40
aerialization of fentanyl for law enforcement purposes.
52:44
But it has been done.
52:45
So that's an example, John.
52:46
Shoot.
52:47
May I remember that?
52:47
Do you remember that movie theater?
52:50
But I didn't realize that many people died
52:51
from the fentanyl.
52:53
Oh, yeah.
52:53
I like the idea that the Russians came
52:55
in and they found the terrorists unconscious.
52:57
Shot them, shot them.
52:59
That's the way they do business.
53:01
Let's go to CNN here.
53:03
Earlier today, President Trump made an unprecedented declaration.
53:06
He's taking what he calls a war on
53:08
drugs and drug traffickers to the next level.
53:11
According to the CDC, there were more than
53:13
80,000 overdose deaths in 2024 alone.
53:17
And synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, continue to play
53:20
a role in the majority of those deaths.
53:23
All right, Ellie, to you.
53:24
Does this executive order give the president more
53:26
power to do more than he's already doing
53:29
that Congress has not actually approved these boat
53:32
strikes?
53:32
No, it is completely meaningless.
53:34
It's symbolic.
53:36
Federal law describes what a weapon of mass
53:39
destruction is.
53:39
Generally, it has to be an incendiary device,
53:41
something that blows up, something that shoots, something
53:43
that disseminates poison, that kind of thing.
53:46
If you commit a crime involving a weapon
53:48
of mass destruction, there's very serious penalties involved.
53:50
Could be life in prison, could be death
53:51
if someone dies.
53:52
But the president saying drugs or fentanyl are
53:55
now weapons of mass destruction has zero, zero
53:59
legal impact.
54:00
It's up to judges.
54:02
It's up to the parties on a case
54:03
-by-case basis.
54:04
It's an interesting argument.
54:06
It doesn't meet the definition.
54:07
But it's like if the president declared that
54:09
a slingshot is a firearm, it doesn't make
54:12
it a firearm for legal purposes.
54:14
It would have to be, Congress would have
54:15
to change the statute, right?
54:17
So a judge couldn't just say fentanyl is
54:19
a weapon because you said- You somehow
54:23
could shoehorn it into the definition.
54:27
This kind of reminds me of, you know,
54:30
saying that COVID-19 vaccine is actually a
54:33
vaccine.
54:37
Yes, change the law.
54:40
No, just change Merriam-Webster.
54:42
That's how you do it.
54:43
I thought this was an interesting case.
54:44
I looked up 18 U.S. Code 2332a.
54:49
And a weapon of mass destruction is defined
54:52
as destructive devices, any explosive, incendiary, or poison
54:57
gas, including bombs, grenades, or rockets, chemical weapons,
55:01
any weapon designed or intended to cause death
55:04
or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination,
55:07
or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals, biological
55:12
weapons, any weapon involving a biological agent, toxin,
55:15
or delivery system.
55:16
And then there's radiological and nuclear weapons.
55:19
I think you can make an argument that
55:21
seeing as 80,000 people a year die
55:24
from it, that it is a weapon of
55:26
mass destruction.
55:28
I'm all in.
55:29
I think that's, you know, I think that's
55:32
valid.
55:33
It's very creative.
55:35
Which brings us to the Turtle Island Liberation
55:39
Front.
55:40
Oh boy, the six-week cycle is back.
55:43
Four alleged members of an extremist group suspected
55:45
of planning five bombing attacks on New Year's
55:48
Eve in Los Angeles and Orange Counties are
55:50
now in custody.
55:51
Hey, stop the camera.
55:52
Stopping.
55:54
This reminds me, wasn't there supposed to be
55:57
some sort of an event last Monday that
55:59
all these podcasters, the sneer and smear podcast
56:03
group?
56:04
Yes, the 9-11 style attacks, multi-cities.
56:07
Yeah.
56:08
Wasn't that supposed to be like a couple
56:11
days ago?
56:12
Yeah.
56:13
Are you still there?
56:16
Yeah.
56:16
Okay, I'm still here.
56:19
Where's all these attacks?
56:20
I guess it wasn't true.
56:21
Zachary Page, Tina Chen Ting, and Dante Anthony
56:25
Gaffield appeared in federal court Monday.
56:28
These bombs were to blow up at the
56:29
same time on midnight this New Year's Eve.
56:32
The plan stated that the IEDs would be
56:34
complex pipe bombs.
56:36
It included instructions on how to manufacture the
56:39
bombs and contained guidance on how to avoid
56:42
leaving evidence behind that could be traced back
56:44
to them.
56:45
Video released by the FBI shows the four
56:47
suspects on Friday at a remote campsite in
56:50
the Lucerne Valley in the Southern Mojave Desert.
56:53
Investigators say the suspects brought bomb making materials
56:55
to the desert to rehearse their planned action.
56:58
Investigators say they found PVC pipes, suspected potassium
57:03
nitrate, charcoal, sulfur powder, and other elements.
57:07
They were arrested shortly after this video was
57:09
taken.
57:10
The four subjects are members of a radical
57:12
faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front.
57:14
At this point, they show video, a picture
57:17
of a couple of hand-drawn signs that
57:20
say...
57:20
Yeah, I saw the signs.
57:21
Death to America.
57:23
Down with fascism.
57:25
First of all, let's make people need to
57:28
know Turtle Island is some reference to the
57:31
entire body of North America that was considered,
57:34
called Turtle Island by some indigenous folks back
57:38
in some historic era.
57:40
Well, if you saw the pictures of these
57:42
people who are arrested, they look like the
57:44
kind of people who would thank the indigenous
57:47
people that we can stand here and make
57:49
bombs on your sacred grounds.
57:51
Of course, that's what you want.
57:52
Yeah, that's the way it looks.
57:53
And by the way, before you continue, I
57:55
knew when I was an air pollution inspector,
57:57
there was a guy that ran a chemical
57:58
company in Oakland.
58:00
I'm not going to mention his name, but
58:02
he was a part of a big club
58:04
of guys that would go to the Mojave
58:06
Desert with explosives and blow shit up.
58:09
They loved it.
58:11
And he had photos.
58:12
He showed me his album because they like
58:13
to take pictures of this.
58:15
Here's like a 55 Buick.
58:18
Look at this.
58:19
And here's after we blew it up with
58:20
10 sticks of dynamite.
58:22
And it was like a hobby.
58:24
So it's not surprising that there was people...
58:26
This is where you do it, out in
58:28
the middle of nowhere, Mojave Desert.
58:30
You blow stuff up.
58:31
Well, there's a little bit more.
58:32
It's the American way.
58:33
There's a little bit more to the case.
58:35
A violent homegrown anti-government group.
58:38
Carol and her co-defendants, Zachary Page, led
58:41
the effort to obtain and build the bombs
58:43
and to recruit others to join in their
58:46
plot.
58:47
The suspects have been charged with conspiracy in
58:49
possession of an unregistered destructive device.
58:52
Officials would not release any information about the
58:54
target locations, only saying they are logistics companies
58:58
engaged in interstate and commerce.
59:01
These threats are sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted
59:05
intimidation.
59:06
Again, the FBI saying that if these would
59:09
have been successful, they would have been coordinated
59:11
IED bombing attacks on New Year's Eve.
59:15
OK, so this is horse manure.
59:18
And I read the affidavit.
59:20
It's all right there.
59:22
So they've been tracking these people since December
59:24
6th.
59:25
And they had a confidential human informant who
59:29
was already in the group, already showing the
59:31
feds the signal messages.
59:34
They had an undercover law enforcement officer in
59:38
the group.
59:40
Yeah, that's what you do.
59:41
So they all go out to the desert
59:43
with PVC pipe, OK, plastic.
59:47
They're going to put their own explosives together.
59:50
Now, you've done this, too.
59:51
You get some ammonium nitrate.
59:54
You get some fertilizer.
59:55
You get some some charcoal, some sulfur.
59:58
I've never done this, by the way.
1:00:00
I have.
1:00:01
I have.
1:00:01
You sure you have.
1:00:02
And I do.
1:00:03
When I went to the University of California,
1:00:04
I was in chemical engineering.
1:00:06
The first thing a professor would just came
1:00:08
up in a conversation like when I was
1:00:10
a freshman.
1:00:11
He says, how many fingers you got?
1:00:14
Is that the number you want to keep?
1:00:17
And I never made an explosive.
1:00:19
What we used to do back in the
1:00:20
old country.
1:00:21
When I lived in the in the farm
1:00:23
farmland south of Amsterdam is we get fertilizer
1:00:27
and sugar and then you put water and
1:00:30
you make a water solution, you dip paper
1:00:33
in it.
1:00:34
And then you make flash flashpaper.
1:00:36
Oh, yeah, it was fantastic to do that.
1:00:38
That's different.
1:00:38
Well, but but we also did some other
1:00:40
stuff with pipes, obviously, but not PVC pipe.
1:00:44
And they had no caps.
1:00:45
They literally had the affidavit says they had
1:00:48
no caps, no cap for the PVC pipe.
1:00:51
So what kind of bomb are you making?
1:00:52
Well, they couldn't charge him on making a
1:00:55
bomb.
1:00:56
So instead, possession of an unregistered destructive device.
1:00:59
They didn't register their device.
1:01:02
This is bull crap.
1:01:03
The thing that bothers me the most is
1:01:06
the fear mongering from the FBI.
1:01:10
And we saved you, America.
1:01:12
This would have been bad.
1:01:14
Oh, it would have been five buildings just
1:01:16
blown to smithereens.
1:01:17
Well, stay safe.
1:01:19
Stay vigilant.
1:01:19
If you see something, say something.
1:01:21
This I hate that.
1:01:23
How about how about you?
1:01:25
I do.
1:01:26
I'm sick of it.
1:01:27
How about you do your job?
1:01:29
And because you are government, you know, we
1:01:31
appreciate it.
1:01:32
It's great that you keep us safe and
1:01:35
then just go home and have a beer.
1:01:36
And then the next day, go after some
1:01:38
other Turtle Island group.
1:01:40
There's no reason to do this big.
1:01:42
Well, stop the presses breaking news.
1:01:45
We all could have been blown to smithereens,
1:01:47
especially after all the Red Green Alliance, ISIS,
1:01:51
ISIS in America, Al Qaeda, Muslims, Islam.
1:01:58
It's sickening.
1:02:00
It keeps everybody on edge during the happiest
1:02:02
time of the year.
1:02:03
What is it?
1:02:04
Pissing into the wind is what you're doing
1:02:06
here.
1:02:06
I'm making people aware of why this is
1:02:08
being done.
1:02:09
Oh, we've been bitching and moaning.
1:02:10
This is never going to change.
1:02:11
The FBI's got they have their marching orders.
1:02:14
There's a memo unless somebody goes into the
1:02:17
FBI and changes the memo that set this
1:02:20
up, whatever, many years ago, because it's good
1:02:24
for business.
1:02:24
It brings the newbies in.
1:02:27
You can show them the ropes on how
1:02:28
to infiltrate and do other things.
1:02:30
It's good business.
1:02:32
Then you make a big fuss about it
1:02:33
so the newbies can say.
1:02:35
So you point to the newbies and look
1:02:37
what happened.
1:02:37
This is the results of your good work.
1:02:39
We got everybody all riled up saying this
1:02:41
is the way you do it.
1:02:42
It's how everybody is kept on edge and
1:02:47
afraid and cowering and suspicious of each other.
1:02:53
It sucks.
1:02:54
I know you're all in, but I'm against
1:02:56
it.
1:02:57
I'm a podcaster, I can stick my mind.
1:03:01
Egyptian airplanes.
1:03:02
Come on, man.
1:03:04
Well, that brings us to a Candace Owens
1:03:06
clip.
1:03:06
Oh, goodness.
1:03:07
Really?
1:03:08
We've never had one before.
1:03:09
I want to play the clip.
1:03:10
This explains a lot.
1:03:11
OK, let me see.
1:03:15
I know all you guys want to know
1:03:17
what happened during my meeting with Erica.
1:03:19
So here it goes.
1:03:20
We met in Nashville because I didn't want
1:03:22
to fly anywhere and have my plane shut
1:03:24
down by Israel.
1:03:25
So I told her to come here instead.
1:03:28
She gets here.
1:03:29
And first thing she does is she gives
1:03:31
me some homemade cookies.
1:03:33
And I'm like, bitch, I ain't eating those
1:03:34
poison chocolate chip cookies.
1:03:37
She tried to poison me.
1:03:38
Anyway, I'm still alive after almost dying from
1:03:41
the poisoned Israeli cookies.
1:03:42
And we start talking.
1:03:44
Then you're not going to believe what happened
1:03:46
next.
1:03:47
The waiter asks us if we want something
1:03:49
to drink, but he's wearing the Star of
1:03:51
David.
1:03:52
So I'm like, I ain't about to drink
1:03:54
no poisons lemonade from you.
1:03:56
You Mossad agent.
1:03:58
So anyway, I almost die again from Israeli
1:04:01
lemonade poisoning.
1:04:02
And Erica is like, I'll just have some
1:04:05
water, please.
1:04:05
Which is obviously code for you better kill
1:04:08
this bitch right now.
1:04:09
Am I right?
1:04:10
So we talk and we talk and she
1:04:13
tells me I'm acting crazy or whatever.
1:04:15
So I asked her to show me pictures
1:04:17
of her of when she was younger.
1:04:19
And she's like, why?
1:04:22
So I'm like, oh, my God, she doesn't
1:04:24
have any.
1:04:25
So I just discovered she's actually a man.
1:04:28
And I'm now talking to this man who
1:04:29
is probably an Israeli spy sent here to
1:04:31
kill me.
1:04:32
So I just I get up.
1:04:34
I go to the bathroom.
1:04:35
I dig a hole under the shitter like
1:04:37
El Chapo.
1:04:38
And I finally made it back to tell
1:04:40
you guys the story and get paid millions
1:04:41
by YouTube to keep you guys stupid and
1:04:44
against Trump and turning point because I'm just
1:04:46
a piece of shit like that.
1:04:48
Anyway, thank you for your views, retards.
1:04:56
That's not bad.
1:04:58
That's that AI is pretty good.
1:05:00
The real thing is almost as nutty.
1:05:04
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, get ready.
1:05:06
I am telling you, get ready.
1:05:07
We have an explosive episode today.
1:05:09
Actually, I should say it's a non explosive
1:05:12
episode, and you'll see why we're going to
1:05:14
jump right into this, because after yesterday's episode,
1:05:16
we were contacted by a variety of people
1:05:19
with information.
1:05:20
And it's time to state unequivocally that the
1:05:24
steel neck quotation did not come from the
1:05:27
surgeon.
1:05:27
Okay, not only that, but it's odd that
1:05:31
federal agents were, I would say, too involved
1:05:34
at the hospital.
1:05:35
When I tell you this story, your jaw
1:05:37
is going to hit the floor.
1:05:38
We also have never before seen photos of
1:05:42
the vehicle, I know I sound like a
1:05:44
fed here, that Charlie was transported in to
1:05:47
the hospital when they were trying to save
1:05:50
his life.
1:05:51
I'm telling you, my perspective is that all
1:05:53
these leads are ramping up.
1:05:55
The reason for that is because the general
1:05:56
public is actually not receptive to what is
1:06:00
very clearly a military grade psychological operation, complete
1:06:05
with influencers and bodied activity on social media.
1:06:10
We're so let down.
1:06:11
It's over.
1:06:12
I'm never watching the show ever again.
1:06:14
Candace took money.
1:06:16
The people can see what you're doing, feds.
1:06:19
They can see it.
1:06:20
I can see it.
1:06:21
And now we're gonna, you know, gotta go
1:06:23
max today.
1:06:24
Welcome back to Candace.
1:06:25
So my takeaway from this, which was not
1:06:28
AI, is that so the feds have mounted
1:06:33
a military grade psychological operation against Candace and
1:06:39
bots and influencers are saying she sucks.
1:06:43
That's the takeaway from that.
1:06:45
I, you know, that AI that I played.
1:06:48
Yeah.
1:06:48
I think it's part of the operation.
1:06:50
Oh, of course it is.
1:06:52
But yeah, I see.
1:06:53
I see it the same way.
1:06:54
There's an there's an op to discredit and
1:06:58
get rid of Candace Owens to put her
1:07:01
not killer as she likes to sideliner permanently.
1:07:10
And I think Tucker knows this because he
1:07:12
doesn't want to get sidelined.
1:07:15
And he this is so interesting.
1:07:17
He didn't.
1:07:17
I think Tucker's in on a lot of
1:07:19
this stuff.
1:07:20
I don't think he can be sidelined.
1:07:22
Well, he's well, I don't trust.
1:07:24
Listen to this, because this is the second
1:07:27
time he's done this.
1:07:28
It was and he did like an eight
1:07:29
minute interview with the Doha Morning Show, whatever
1:07:32
it was.
1:07:35
It's Doha this morning, everybody.
1:07:37
Welcome to the desert.
1:07:38
How are you doing?
1:07:39
How's your oil stocks?
1:07:43
Listen to what he says about Trump in
1:07:45
this, but I left this beginning in because
1:07:47
the lady says something kind of interesting.
1:07:48
Do you feel you make quite you've made
1:07:52
quite a few trips here, but he made
1:07:54
quite a few trips here, quite a few
1:07:57
trips.
1:07:58
Does Tucker visit Doha a lot to get
1:08:01
get his checks?
1:08:03
Something changed in the way you feel in
1:08:05
the last couple of years.
1:08:06
Do you feel I feel that I'm 56?
1:08:09
My children are grown.
1:08:10
I have an obligation from my perspective to
1:08:16
tell the truth.
1:08:17
In indecency and kindness, by the way, telling
1:08:19
the truth does not mean people are pointing
1:08:21
out their love.
1:08:23
You know, there are obvious sins.
1:08:25
No, telling the truth means telling the truth
1:08:27
in love.
1:08:28
What do you think is true?
1:08:29
By the way, I've been wrong many times.
1:08:30
I supported the Iraq war.
1:08:31
OK, I've been wrong.
1:08:33
And I know that I've been wrong and
1:08:34
I know that I will be wrong again.
1:08:35
So I'm not claiming I have a monopoly
1:08:37
on the truth.
1:08:38
What I'm saying is, as an American citizen,
1:08:40
I have a right to say what I
1:08:41
think and I'm going to period, period.
1:08:43
He always he does that a lot.
1:08:45
I'm an American citizen.
1:08:46
I have the right to say what I
1:08:47
feel like I want to say, and that's
1:08:48
it.
1:08:48
I'm an American citizen, period.
1:08:50
How could this fight to reshape the American
1:08:54
right possibly define how the U.S. engages
1:08:59
with the Middle East?
1:09:00
Could it potentially change everything?
1:09:02
The president of the United States recently sided
1:09:05
in public with an Arab country over Israel.
1:09:09
Israel bombed Doha.
1:09:11
Qatar is one of our most important allies
1:09:14
in the region.
1:09:14
Our largest air base is in this country,
1:09:17
Qatar.
1:09:17
Qatar hosts Hamas at the request of the
1:09:20
United States government and the Israeli government for
1:09:22
more than 10 years.
1:09:23
And Israel bombed a meeting here in Qatar
1:09:27
in order to short circuit Donald Trump's peace
1:09:31
process.
1:09:31
This was an attack not just on Qatar,
1:09:33
but on America.
1:09:34
Donald Trump saw it that way.
1:09:35
He said he saw it that way.
1:09:37
And he forced the Israelis to apologize to
1:09:40
the government of Qatar.
1:09:41
Nothing like that has ever happened.
1:09:42
There's never been a situation where the U
1:09:44
.S. president publicly took the side of an
1:09:45
Arab country over Israel.
1:09:47
That just happened.
1:09:48
That is a huge change.
1:09:49
That is a seminal change.
1:09:51
What are its long-term effects?
1:09:53
I can only guess.
1:09:53
But we've never seen that before.
1:09:55
This seems to be the message he wants
1:09:57
to convey.
1:09:58
So that kind of gives me pause as
1:09:59
to where is he in this big podcaster
1:10:02
thing, which also Go ahead.
1:10:05
Also brings to mind this call that Trump
1:10:09
brings Netanyahu into the Oval Office of the
1:10:12
meeting, wherever they do that meeting.
1:10:14
And he has Benjamin Netanyahu.
1:10:20
Hey, he signs your checks, bro.
1:10:22
You better get his name right.
1:10:24
So he brings him in and humiliates him
1:10:26
in public, makes him make a public phone
1:10:30
call to the Qataris apologizing for the bombing.
1:10:33
This is bullcrap.
1:10:35
This whole thing was rigged.
1:10:37
It was set up for whatever reason to
1:10:39
make Trump a certain, give him a certain
1:10:41
gravitas with the Arabs and who knows what
1:10:44
else.
1:10:45
But this was this is nonsense if we
1:10:47
are to believe it.
1:10:48
Because this would never really happen.
1:10:51
All of this that is happening, and it
1:10:53
really has been going on for a while.
1:10:56
Nick Fuentes, I was aware of him years
1:10:58
ago.
1:10:59
And I know that you think he's a
1:11:02
pro, and I'm not going to disagree.
1:11:03
I cannot disagree with you on that.
1:11:05
But he's something else.
1:11:07
He is a punk rock podcaster.
1:11:11
And I say this because everything he does
1:11:14
is like punk rock.
1:11:16
Punk rock, you know, the Sex Pistols, you
1:11:18
know.
1:11:19
I know exactly what you mean.
1:11:20
Screw the Queen, you know, kicking down.
1:11:23
Believe it or not, I was a punk
1:11:25
rock fan during the era of the number
1:11:28
of these bands.
1:11:29
Oh, yeah?
1:11:30
What was your favorite punk rock band?
1:11:32
Oh, it was the one band that, damn
1:11:35
it, I can think of the name in
1:11:36
a second.
1:11:36
Peter, Paul and Mary?
1:11:38
Yes, Peter, Paul and Mary.
1:11:39
I especially like Mary when she ripped off
1:11:41
her bra.
1:11:44
Well, you had the Ramones.
1:11:46
You had the Sex Pistols.
1:11:48
You had, well, there you go.
1:11:50
There's my knowledge.
1:11:51
No, you don't have any.
1:11:53
But no, there's one group that I really
1:11:55
thought was fantastic.
1:11:56
But I'd have to think about it.
1:11:58
Anyway, it's a long time ago.
1:12:00
But he's a punk rock kid.
1:12:02
And what he's doing is he's going against
1:12:04
what was the one thing you could never
1:12:06
say?
1:12:07
Israel, no good.
1:12:08
Jews, no good.
1:12:09
Boom, there's Fuentes.
1:12:11
I want to be with white people, not
1:12:14
with black people.
1:12:15
Boom, Fuentes.
1:12:16
Women suck.
1:12:17
Boom, Fuentes.
1:12:18
It's punk rock podcasting.
1:12:20
And I'm getting it now because this is
1:12:24
all part of audience capture.
1:12:27
And I was watching Dave Smith, part of
1:12:31
the problem, because I do watch this stuff.
1:12:33
You know, I try to stay informed.
1:12:34
I try to figure out what is going
1:12:36
on.
1:12:36
Why are these people so strange to me?
1:12:39
Because, you know, we're boomers.
1:12:40
I'm not officially a Gen X, face of
1:12:42
Gen X, but call me a boomer.
1:12:44
Dave Smith actually admitted it.
1:12:47
He admitted audience capture.
1:12:50
And here it is.
1:12:51
You know, like a lot of us are
1:12:54
kind of, you know, me and you and
1:12:56
I think Candace and Tucker and like a
1:13:00
lot of other people, essentially, the relationship here
1:13:04
is us and the audience.
1:13:07
We got to make something that the audience
1:13:08
likes, and then we do well.
1:13:11
And if we make something the audience doesn't
1:13:12
like, it won't do as well.
1:13:14
There you go.
1:13:15
That's exactly what you're doing.
1:13:17
So if the audience says, yeah, Israel bad,
1:13:20
you're going to do that.
1:13:22
I don't even know if it's based on
1:13:23
principles with these people.
1:13:25
It's audience capture.
1:13:27
And we don't do that.
1:13:28
We don't do it.
1:13:30
Yeah, we don't.
1:13:31
No, we don't.
1:13:31
We don't.
1:13:31
We don't bother.
1:13:33
Well, it takes us out of our strike
1:13:37
zone is deconstructing the media, looking for little
1:13:39
tidbits, like the word, using the word target,
1:13:42
target, subject and stuff like that.
1:13:44
And that fascinates everybody at all times.
1:13:47
But we don't, we're not a, like I
1:13:50
use it in the newsletter, this phrase.
1:13:51
Which is the sneer and smear type of
1:13:55
podcast and the grievance type of podcast that
1:13:59
just is designed to get audience just to
1:14:02
do audience capture.
1:14:04
Yeah.
1:14:04
And we don't, we don't qualify in either
1:14:07
one of those categories.
1:14:08
That's for sure.
1:14:09
Well, we also don't count on YouTube money.
1:14:11
We don't count on YouTube money.
1:14:13
We don't need any of that stuff.
1:14:15
We want to actually give you our opinions,
1:14:17
which are often counter to the popular narrative.
1:14:23
And people get really upset, really upset.
1:14:26
Even just me calling Dave Smith.
1:14:28
I called him out.
1:14:29
Hey, John, we called out Dave Smith.
1:14:30
Woo.
1:14:32
That will get people upset.
1:14:35
It's, it's amazing.
1:14:36
And we're like, okay, be upset then.
1:14:38
It's fine.
1:14:40
I'm not donating.
1:14:42
Okay.
1:14:43
They say don't donate people who say that
1:14:46
never donate anyway.
1:14:47
No, that's true.
1:14:50
As we speak, the European commission, all 27
1:14:55
heads of the states of the European union
1:14:59
are locked in a room and they're not
1:15:01
coming out until they have a deal until
1:15:04
they have a deal about stealing the Russian
1:15:07
money and giving that to Ukraine.
1:15:11
I have a couple of clips myself.
1:15:13
Okay.
1:15:13
Yeah.
1:15:14
I'd love to hear your clips.
1:15:15
Let's do your clips first.
1:15:17
You weren't prepared.
1:15:19
Okay.
1:15:19
No, I wasn't prepared because you jumped right
1:15:21
into the topic.
1:15:22
You said I have a couple of clips.
1:15:23
And when you say that, I figure you,
1:15:25
you got clips.
1:15:27
Well, continue with your presentation as you figure
1:15:31
out your clips.
1:15:31
Here is the, uh, the, the, I think
1:15:34
she's the foreign minister caught us.
1:15:37
And she went in front of the microphones.
1:15:38
You know, people are coming out from time
1:15:40
to time from the meeting, like, oh, it's
1:15:42
a tough meeting.
1:15:43
Oh, you know, you gotta do stuff.
1:15:45
And it looks like we have, um, we
1:15:48
have appeased Brussels or Belgium's issues with stealing
1:15:52
the money and letting them take the rap
1:15:54
for it.
1:15:55
Then of course we have the discussions on
1:15:57
the reparations loan.
1:15:58
Now, um, the proposals that we have been
1:16:01
working on, uh, also addressing Belgium's concerns.
1:16:04
I think, uh, to go for the legislative
1:16:07
proposal means that we all take the risk
1:16:10
because it's a European proposal.
1:16:12
So the risk and the burden is shared,
1:16:14
uh, equally.
1:16:16
So, um, I think, uh, the issues that,
1:16:18
uh, Belgium has raised, we have also addressed.
1:16:20
So I hope that we get this over
1:16:22
the finishing line.
1:16:24
Um, Putin is banking.
1:16:26
The finishing line shouldn't give them that.
1:16:29
I understand Belgium is under a lot of
1:16:32
pressure from, um, Russia, uh, from a European,
1:16:36
uh, countries, but also from United States.
1:16:39
And in order to get off that pressure,
1:16:42
actually we should have a European proposal.
1:16:45
Then Belgium will just abide by the law.
1:16:48
And, and, you know, whoever has any concerns
1:16:52
can, you know, go to court against the
1:16:55
European Union.
1:16:56
But I think the fundamental issue is that
1:16:59
Russia is causing the damage in Ukraine.
1:17:02
So they should also be responsible for the
1:17:05
reparations.
1:17:06
And this reparations loan is based, uh, on
1:17:09
that very idea.
1:17:11
So let me get this straight.
1:17:12
The very Russia that just last week you
1:17:15
were saying, and all nodding in agreement to
1:17:18
NATO's secretary general, Mark Rutte, Russia sees us
1:17:23
as next, we're next.
1:17:25
Get under your beds, get your three-day
1:17:27
emergency kits ready.
1:17:29
Now, all of a sudden you're saying, well,
1:17:31
you can just sue all of us then
1:17:33
in the European Union cart, go ahead and
1:17:35
sue us.
1:17:36
What is it?
1:17:37
Are you afraid that they're going to come
1:17:39
and bomb you for their money that you
1:17:40
stole?
1:17:41
Or do you think they're just going to
1:17:42
file a lawsuit?
1:17:44
That's a good point.
1:17:45
It's ridiculous.
1:17:47
I think the clips I'm referring to are
1:17:49
these Ukraine clips and I have three of
1:17:51
them.
1:17:52
Let me play one more money clip.
1:17:54
Okay.
1:17:55
So this is Keir Starmer.
1:17:58
Just to show you that we're tough guys
1:18:01
here.
1:18:01
We're going to steal some Russian money.
1:18:03
Watch me do it.
1:18:04
The United Kingdom issued a license to allow
1:18:06
the funds from the sale of Chelsea football
1:18:08
club to be transferred to humanitarian causes in
1:18:11
Ukraine.
1:18:12
Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea in 2022
1:18:16
under pressure from the British government.
1:18:18
The funds from the sale have since then
1:18:20
been frozen.
1:18:22
UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now allowing
1:18:25
him to use the money, but only to
1:18:27
help Ukraine.
1:18:28
Under the new license, proceeds must be directed
1:18:30
to humanitarian causes in Ukraine, but future gains
1:18:34
may be spent more broadly on victims of
1:18:36
conflicts worldwide.
1:18:37
The UK sanctioned Abramovich in a crackdown on
1:18:40
Russian oligarchs after Russia's full-scale invasion of
1:18:43
Ukraine in 2022, which had triggered the rushed
1:18:47
sale of the English Premier League football club.
1:18:49
The UK government has now promised to establish
1:18:52
a foundation to disperse the funds headed by
1:18:55
the former head of UNICEF UK.
1:18:57
This is the worst idea ever.
1:19:00
I have the, I have three better clips
1:19:03
than that from the BBC.
1:19:05
Okay.
1:19:05
This is the Abramovich series.
1:19:07
This is not the Ukraine ones.
1:19:08
This, since you changed it kind of to
1:19:10
Abramovich, because this has to be discussed.
1:19:12
You're right.
1:19:13
This is, Abramovich will kill you.
1:19:16
He will kill you.
1:19:17
Well, not only that, but it's like, at
1:19:19
the same time, you, you, if you're going
1:19:21
to let the guy into the country to
1:19:22
begin with, to invest in stuff.
1:19:24
Yeah.
1:19:25
Spend his money.
1:19:26
And then he wants to, and then you
1:19:28
force him to sell his stuff and then
1:19:30
you steal his money.
1:19:31
Are you kidding me?
1:19:31
Three billion dollars worth.
1:19:33
That's insane.
1:19:35
So here we go.
1:19:36
The Abramovich, it's called the Abramovich fiasco.
1:19:40
The British government is stepping up pressure on
1:19:43
the Russian oligarch and former Chelsea owner Roman
1:19:46
Abramovich.
1:19:47
If so, if you steal something from the
1:19:48
store, you can just say, I'm stepping up
1:19:50
pressure on your store.
1:19:53
This is very interesting.
1:19:55
Over a financial pledge he made when he
1:19:57
was forced to sell the football club.
1:19:59
Back in 2022, Mr. Abramovich promised all the
1:20:02
money he made from the sale would be
1:20:04
used to benefit victims of the Russian invasion
1:20:07
of Ukraine.
1:20:08
But the funds still haven't been released because
1:20:10
of a disagreement on how they should be
1:20:12
used.
1:20:13
Now, the government is threatening to take legal
1:20:15
action against him.
1:20:17
This was Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaking in
1:20:19
Parliament.
1:20:20
My message to Abramovich is this.
1:20:22
The clock is ticking.
1:20:24
Honor the commitment that you made and pay
1:20:27
up now.
1:20:28
And if you don't, we're prepared to go
1:20:30
to court.
1:20:31
So every penny reaches those whose lives have
1:20:34
been torn apart by Putin's illegal war.
1:20:38
Yes, we need to buy more homes in
1:20:41
Europe.
1:20:43
Take his money.
1:20:44
Wow.
1:20:45
It's astonishing to me they're going to steal
1:20:47
this guy's money.
1:20:48
And I think what he was referring to
1:20:49
is if he made any profit on the
1:20:51
sale, not to all the money, which is
1:20:53
what they're trying to go for.
1:20:54
But what they're just trying to go for
1:20:56
some money.
1:20:57
This way you would get just how much
1:20:59
money you got.
1:20:59
It's now ours.
1:21:02
And we're going to spend it over here
1:21:04
because you because you, Abramovich, the owner of
1:21:07
the Chelsea Football Club.
1:21:09
You are responsible for Ukraine.
1:21:11
Yeah.
1:21:12
Anyway, so part two.
1:21:14
Our political correspondent, Harry Farley, has been telling
1:21:17
me more about the background to this row
1:21:19
and why it's gone on for so long.
1:21:22
When Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea Football Club, he
1:21:25
made two and a half billion pounds.
1:21:28
But that was frozen.
1:21:30
That money was frozen in the UK because
1:21:33
of British sanctions on Russian business people and
1:21:37
representatives around the world.
1:21:39
And so that money is frozen.
1:21:41
It is stuck.
1:21:41
Roman Abramovich cannot access it himself.
1:21:44
And he previously said he would be happy
1:21:47
for that money to be used for all
1:21:49
victims of the war.
1:21:51
Now, that is something that the British government
1:21:53
doesn't agree with.
1:21:54
It wants that money to be used for
1:21:56
humanitarian purposes, for Ukrainian victims of the war.
1:21:59
And they're concerned that Mr Abramovich wants it
1:22:02
to go to both sides, so meaning Russians
1:22:04
could also benefit.
1:22:06
That is the essence of the dispute.
1:22:08
Because this money is technically still Mr Abramovich's,
1:22:11
even though he cannot access it, there has
1:22:13
been this stalemate ever since 2022.
1:22:17
And this is really the latest iteration of
1:22:18
the government stepping up its pressure on Mr
1:22:21
Abramovich, showing signs of irritation.
1:22:24
But of course, irritation in itself doesn't release
1:22:27
that money.
1:22:28
Yeah.
1:22:28
I mean, is there any indication that Roman
1:22:30
Abramovich is actually going to give this money
1:22:32
over to Ukraine?
1:22:33
Not at the moment, to be honest.
1:22:35
The UK government is threatening legal action.
1:22:39
The UK government is saying that Mr Abramovich
1:22:41
needs to honour that commitment that he made.
1:22:43
They're saying that they'd be prepared to take
1:22:45
this to court.
1:22:47
And the next steps, as it were, is
1:22:48
Mr Abramovich has 90 days to respond, and
1:22:51
after which the UK government could, at that
1:22:53
point, take this to court.
1:22:55
We haven't actually heard from Mr Abramovich or
1:22:57
his representatives today, so we don't know if
1:23:00
there is any shift in his position.
1:23:01
But at the moment, at least, this is
1:23:04
just threats and, I suppose, a toughening of
1:23:06
language from British ministers.
1:23:08
Hold on a second.
1:23:09
So did they take it or not?
1:23:10
It sounded like Starmer was saying, we're taking
1:23:13
your money and it's done.
1:23:15
And this makes it sound like there's still
1:23:17
some mechanisms.
1:23:20
Yeah, they don't.
1:23:21
In other words, they haven't taken it yet.
1:23:22
Let's play the last part.
1:23:24
This is from yesterday.
1:23:25
Of course, there's about to be an EU
1:23:26
summit where leaders are going to be urged
1:23:28
to agree to use Russia's frozen assets to
1:23:31
give money to Ukraine and give them a
1:23:32
huge loan.
1:23:33
Yeah, there is going to be exactly that
1:23:35
summit.
1:23:35
And there was over the weekend, towards the
1:23:39
end of last week, some pretty confident noises
1:23:41
coming from people I was speaking to in
1:23:43
government, government officials, believing that this could be
1:23:46
a real moment and a real turning point
1:23:47
where those frozen Russian assets across Europe, most
1:23:51
of which are actually held in Belgium, could
1:23:53
be released and given to Ukraine.
1:23:56
There is less optimism now, I am sensing.
1:23:59
We'll find out the details tomorrow.
1:24:01
But certainly the sort of the excitement, this
1:24:03
is going to be a big breakthrough.
1:24:04
Obviously, this has been talked about for months
1:24:06
and months.
1:24:08
The excitement that tomorrow could be a breakthrough,
1:24:10
I think, is waning slightly.
1:24:11
And there seems to be a little bit
1:24:12
more opposition and hesitation, because it is a,
1:24:17
legally very complicated to release these frozen assets
1:24:20
and spend them on fighting, on giving them
1:24:24
to Ukraine in order to fight Russia.
1:24:25
The legal complexity is one aspect, and there
1:24:27
is also political concern that Russia could then
1:24:30
sue the countries who are holding these funds.
1:24:33
Again, what happened to, he's going to come
1:24:36
and invade us and kill us?
1:24:39
Oh, yeah, that's a good point.
1:24:40
He can sue us, he can just sue
1:24:41
us.
1:24:41
But what got me on that clip was
1:24:43
the fact that they're excited about stealing the
1:24:46
money.
1:24:47
Yes, very excited.
1:24:48
Oh, I mean, oh, we're going to steal
1:24:50
the money.
1:24:51
This is great.
1:24:52
It makes you feel good, makes you feel
1:24:54
like a man.
1:24:55
It shows you what a bunch of corrupt
1:24:56
pricks are running these countries in Europe.
1:24:59
They're criminals.
1:25:01
Yes.
1:25:01
Hello.
1:25:02
Gambling.
1:25:04
Don't look at our capital.
1:25:05
There's no criminals there.
1:25:07
Never, never happened.
1:25:09
Let's listen.
1:25:10
Okay, so I can play my, I got
1:25:11
my three Ukraine clips.
1:25:12
I think it'll be the, I can't talk
1:25:14
about this any after this.
1:25:16
This is the, we'll start with the Ukraine
1:25:18
update.
1:25:18
This is a BBC clip.
1:25:20
Ukraine's President Zelensky is called on allies to
1:25:23
show Russia that it's pointless to continue with
1:25:26
its war.
1:25:26
Pointless.
1:25:27
He was speaking ahead of a European leaders
1:25:29
meeting in Brussels on Thursday, where they'll decide
1:25:32
what to do with more than $200 billion
1:25:35
of frozen Russian assets.
1:25:38
Reports say Washington has been pressuring European leaders
1:25:42
not to use the money to help Ukraine.
1:25:44
Vladimir Putin has again insisted he will achieve
1:25:47
all of his expansionist goals in Ukraine.
1:25:50
He said Russia would liberate what he called
1:25:52
its historic lands by military force or diplomacy.
1:25:57
Yeah, this is kind of a meme in
1:25:58
the British circles is expansionist goals.
1:26:04
Yeah, yeah.
1:26:06
Expansionists, revisionists, you know.
1:26:08
Which is supposedly Russian, you know, part of
1:26:12
early Russia.
1:26:13
People have to remember that where was modern
1:26:15
Russia founded?
1:26:17
Yes, you mentioned that in the last show,
1:26:19
it was in Kiev.
1:26:20
Or, I'm sorry, KIEV!
1:26:23
I want some chicken Kiev!
1:26:26
So that's where it was, that's where the
1:26:28
modern Russia was founded in Kiev.
1:26:31
And so now you're just Putin's puppet talking
1:26:34
about revisionists.
1:26:35
Well, let's go with the Ukraine finale.
1:26:37
Over recent months and days, European leaders have
1:26:41
been warning that Russia poses a threat to
1:26:43
the security of Europe, despite ongoing peace negotiations
1:26:47
in Ukraine.
1:26:49
On Tuesday, European countries closest to Russia called
1:26:52
on the EU to prioritise defending their borders.
1:26:55
Today, Vladimir Putin dismissed that as hysteria, but
1:26:59
he says Russia will take Ukraine by military
1:27:01
means unless Kyiv and its allies do more
1:27:05
to engage with US peace proposals.
1:27:07
Our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg sent this report
1:27:10
from Moscow.
1:27:11
Is Vladimir Putin ready for peace?
1:27:14
Does he accept the need for compromise?
1:27:17
It doesn't sound like it.
1:27:22
President Putin told military chiefs that the goals
1:27:25
of his special military operation would be achieved.
1:27:29
Referring to Ukraine, Mr Putin said, if the
1:27:31
adversary and its foreign patrons do not want
1:27:34
to have a substantive discussion, then Russia will
1:27:38
liberate its historic lands on the battlefield.
1:27:41
Historic lands?
1:27:42
That is a reference to Ukrainian territory Moscow
1:27:45
claims to have annexed.
1:27:48
They've forgotten their history too, even when they're
1:27:51
trying to make fun of it.
1:27:52
And he says at the very end, the
1:27:54
last three words, he says, claims to have
1:27:58
annexed.
1:27:59
Yes, claim.
1:28:00
They didn't annex it, they claimed.
1:28:03
Anytime, by the way, people out there, this
1:28:04
is one of our deconstruction tips.
1:28:06
The use of the word claims is loaded
1:28:09
and bullcrap.
1:28:11
I mean, it should be he says, but
1:28:14
the fact that he claims to have annexed
1:28:17
means it's, you know, in the mind, in
1:28:21
your brain, it puts in a notion that
1:28:23
this is not true or it's dubious or
1:28:25
the guy's a bad person or what claims.
1:28:28
So let's go to the second clip.
1:28:30
He called for the expansion of a security
1:28:32
buffer zone.
1:28:34
In other words, to seize even more Ukrainian
1:28:36
land.
1:28:37
His tone was defiant, belligerent and regarding European
1:28:41
leaders, abrasive.
1:28:43
Everyone thought that in a short amount of
1:28:47
time they could destroy Russia, President Putin said,
1:28:51
and the European swine immediately joined the work
1:28:54
of the previous US administration in the hope
1:28:57
of profiting from the collapse of Russia.
1:28:59
Vladimir Putin claims, claims, claims, claims he does
1:29:03
want peace.
1:29:04
But his comments suggest that's peace on his
1:29:07
terms.
1:29:09
Over nearly four years of war, his army
1:29:11
has suffered huge losses on the battlefield.
1:29:14
And yet, Mr. Putin speaks positively about what
1:29:18
has transpired.
1:29:19
He claimed today that thanks to the special
1:29:21
military operation, Russia had restored its status as
1:29:25
a fully sovereign country.
1:29:27
Steve Rosenberg.
1:29:29
Yes.
1:29:29
Excellent.
1:29:30
Jew.
1:29:31
Okay.
1:29:34
That's a good one.
1:29:36
Yeah.
1:29:36
Claims, claims, claims, claims, claims.
1:29:38
I mean, this is terrible.
1:29:39
These guys are no, well, there's a new
1:29:41
player that has entered the field.
1:29:44
Our new player is a blaze Florence met
1:29:48
Metro welly Metro Metro welly.
1:29:50
I think, uh, she is the new head
1:29:53
of MI six.
1:29:55
And she's kind of cute actually, in a,
1:29:58
in a spooky kind of way.
1:30:00
Uh, blaze BLA ISE Florence Metro welly, M
1:30:06
E T R E W E L.
1:30:08
I just look up MI six chief.
1:30:10
Interesting family background.
1:30:12
Her dad, Constantine Metro welly was born as
1:30:16
Constantine Dobrofsky.
1:30:17
And he was the son of a Nazi
1:30:20
collaborator, uh, who operated in Oblast, the Nazi
1:30:25
occupied Ukrainian Soviet socialist Republic in 1943.
1:30:29
So do you think she has skin in
1:30:31
the game just from a, from a background
1:30:34
that looks like a spook?
1:30:36
Are you kidding me?
1:30:37
Yeah, she's a, she's a total spook, but
1:30:38
you know, she's from the, from the Nazi
1:30:40
party heritage.
1:30:41
You know, of course we can't, uh, as
1:30:44
Tucker would say, we don't punish children for
1:30:46
what their parents did.
1:30:47
No, of course not.
1:30:48
But it is just interesting, interesting tidbit because
1:30:51
maybe she heard around the Christmas tree, you
1:30:54
know, like, uh, Putin, bad Russia, bad everybody,
1:30:58
bad Hitler.
1:31:00
Good.
1:31:01
I don't know what she heard, but she
1:31:02
came out and she did about an eight
1:31:03
minute statement.
1:31:04
And I pulled a couple of clips.
1:31:06
I'm going to break with tradition and I
1:31:08
won't give you a global threat tool, but
1:31:11
I will focus here on Putin's Russia.
1:31:13
We all continue to face the menace of
1:31:17
an aggressive expansionist and revisionist Russia.
1:31:20
There it is.
1:31:21
Expansionist and revisionist Russia, the scourge seeking to
1:31:25
subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO.
1:31:28
I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands
1:31:31
have died with the toll mounting every day
1:31:34
because of Putin's historical distortions and his compromised
1:31:38
desire for respect.
1:31:39
He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the
1:31:43
cost of war onto his own population.
1:31:46
But Putin should be in no doubt.
1:31:48
Our support is enduring.
1:31:50
The pressure we apply on Ukraine's behalf will
1:31:54
be sustained because it is fundamental, not just
1:31:58
to European sovereignty and security, but to global
1:32:01
stability.
1:32:03
Okay, so Miss New Spike, Spook, Spike, Spook.
1:32:09
I don't know why she did this, but
1:32:11
this turned into a recruitment video saying, you
1:32:15
know, we need more people in the MI6.
1:32:17
We need Spooks and a very specific kind
1:32:20
of Spook.
1:32:21
And many of our trolls in the troll
1:32:24
room qualify.
1:32:25
Our world is being remade and for the
1:32:29
first time we are all at the heart
1:32:31
of it.
1:32:32
My service must now operate in this new
1:32:34
context too.
1:32:35
Not just expert on hostile states, terrorism, proliferation
1:32:39
and more, but also fluent in technology, able
1:32:42
to anticipate the second and third order effects
1:32:45
of advances that reshape the world in minutes,
1:32:48
not months.
1:32:49
And as China will be a central part
1:32:51
of the global transformation taking place this century,
1:32:55
it's essential that we, as MI6, continue to
1:32:59
inform the government's understanding of China's rise and
1:33:03
the implications for UK national security.
1:33:06
Mastery of technology will infuse everything we do,
1:33:10
not just in our labs, but in the
1:33:12
field, in our trade craft, and even more
1:33:15
importantly, in the mindset of every officer.
1:33:18
We will become as comfortable with lines of
1:33:20
code as we are with human sources, as
1:33:23
fluent in Python as we are in multiple
1:33:25
other languages.
1:33:26
What?
1:33:27
What?
1:33:28
Python?
1:33:31
Hey, ma'am, get a clue, girl.
1:33:34
Rust is the new language.
1:33:35
What are you talking about?
1:33:36
Python.
1:33:37
Python.
1:33:38
Python.
1:33:38
Python.
1:33:39
Python.
1:33:40
There's fluent in code.
1:33:41
We need to speak Python.
1:33:43
We'll become as comfortable with lines of code
1:33:45
as we are with human sources, as fluent
1:33:48
in Python as we are in multiple other
1:33:50
languages.
1:33:51
Under my leadership, MI6 will continue to attract
1:33:54
Britain's best.
1:33:55
Hey, I'm a vibe coder in Python.
1:33:57
Does that count?
1:34:00
We need vibe coders at MI6, people.
1:34:02
Linguists and data scientists, case officers and engineers,
1:34:06
behavioral experts and technologists.
1:34:09
We need people who walk in the shoes
1:34:11
and get in the heads of our adversaries.
1:34:13
We need people who think differently, challenge assumptions
1:34:16
and act decisively.
1:34:18
All can thrive and make a difference at
1:34:21
MI6.
1:34:22
Call 1-800-PYTHON-MI6.
1:34:25
I just found that to be odd that
1:34:27
she's recruiting Python programmers.
1:34:30
Python.
1:34:30
Python.
1:34:31
Python.
1:34:31
And listen to this 22 seconds and tell
1:34:34
me if you think she's talking about the
1:34:35
CIA.
1:34:36
So we will work with our agents and
1:34:39
we will continue to engage directly and with
1:34:42
respect with states and organizations currently working against
1:34:46
us.
1:34:47
Away from the glare of the media, we
1:34:49
will use MI6's convening power wherever we can
1:34:53
to make a material different, bringing parties together
1:34:56
to defuse tensions.
1:34:58
What do you think?
1:35:00
When she said parties working against us?
1:35:03
Yeah.
1:35:04
I don't know if they're...
1:35:06
She ends it with to end tensions.
1:35:10
Well, of course there's tension.
1:35:11
We all know what you're doing.
1:35:13
Well, I have to believe that they're clueless
1:35:16
about this.
1:35:18
And the reason I say...
1:35:20
So I had a chat with the telegraph...
1:35:22
Really?
1:35:23
MI6 is doing most of the PSYOPs on
1:35:25
Candace Owens.
1:35:26
Yeah, but I don't think that they're clued
1:35:28
into...
1:35:29
I'm not convinced that they're completely clued in
1:35:31
with what Trump's up to.
1:35:34
Really?
1:35:34
They're that dumb?
1:35:36
Well, this brings me to a conversation I
1:35:38
had with our columnist buddy at the Telegraph,
1:35:41
which is UK's most honest newspaper.
1:35:43
I had a chat with Doug Orlovsky.
1:35:46
He wasn't even with the Register before?
1:35:48
Yeah, he was a Register guy.
1:35:50
And he said that he admires the nexus
1:35:55
arguments that we've been making.
1:35:57
He actually listens to the show.
1:35:59
Oh, hey, Orlovsky.
1:36:00
Andrew, how you doing, buddy?
1:36:02
And so he says, but he says that
1:36:04
they're so stupid that there's no way that
1:36:08
this is...
1:36:08
They're just too dumb to do anything.
1:36:10
He says, you have no idea how stupid
1:36:12
ruling classes are here.
1:36:14
And I said, yeah, well, the fact that
1:36:16
we can figure out what they're up to
1:36:17
shows how stupid they are.
1:36:19
I think it's just a confirmation that we're
1:36:21
right.
1:36:22
Yeah.
1:36:22
And the counter argument to him was he
1:36:24
couldn't...
1:36:25
He couldn't counter.
1:36:26
No, of course he can't.
1:36:27
Because so it's like, you know, so we
1:36:30
have to assume there's a stupidity level and
1:36:32
a naivete at some point.
1:36:35
And this woman doesn't look like a brainiac
1:36:37
and she says Python.
1:36:39
You made my point.
1:36:41
If you're talking, we need Python, which may
1:36:44
somehow be related to AI.
1:36:47
Someone told her all this AI stuff, it's
1:36:49
all written in Python.
1:36:51
So we need Python coders.
1:36:52
Okay.
1:36:52
I'll do a call up for Python coders.
1:36:55
Fine.
1:36:56
Yeah.
1:36:56
I'll get my, what's that thing called?
1:37:01
My PyCharm IDE.
1:37:03
I'll get that all rocking.
1:37:04
Yeah.
1:37:05
I'm ready.
1:37:05
I'm ready, both.
1:37:06
Who are we hitting first?
1:37:08
Who's their first adversary?
1:37:11
On the other side of the equation is
1:37:15
UK air chief Marshall.
1:37:18
I think that means he's in charge of
1:37:20
the air force.
1:37:22
I have no idea.
1:37:23
Yeah.
1:37:23
And this guy's name is Sir Richard Knighton.
1:37:27
And here's what he said.
1:37:28
Perhaps the most obvious impact on all of
1:37:30
us will be the cost of building resilience.
1:37:35
Sons and daughters, colleagues, veterans will all have
1:37:40
a part to play, to build, to serve,
1:37:44
and if necessary, to fight.
1:37:46
And more families will know what sacrifice for
1:37:51
our nation means.
1:37:52
Oh yeah.
1:37:53
That's going over real big in England.
1:37:55
What?
1:37:56
What?
1:37:57
You want us to fight who?
1:37:59
Fight what?
1:38:01
What?
1:38:02
War?
1:38:03
Huh?
1:38:04
No, no, no, no, no, no, son.
1:38:05
We're not going to do that.
1:38:06
There's not a single British kid who wants
1:38:08
to do this.
1:38:09
Remember when this kicked off, there are all
1:38:11
these TikTok videos.
1:38:13
I'm not fighting.
1:38:14
They're not going to fight.
1:38:16
I got other things to do.
1:38:17
And in Germany, where they just reinstated the
1:38:20
registration for voluntary service, whoa, the kids there
1:38:24
aren't having it either.
1:38:25
Early December in Berlin, instead of being in
1:38:28
class, thousands of young Germans are out on
1:38:31
the streets protesting the return of military service.
1:38:35
For this generation about to reach adulthood, the
1:38:39
countdown has already started.
1:38:41
From January onwards, young men like Reuben and
1:38:44
Eva must register for potential military service.
1:38:47
I think it's outrageous that I can't even
1:38:50
decide for myself whether I'm going to the
1:38:52
front or not.
1:38:53
Young people were hit the hardest by COVID
1:38:55
-19.
1:38:55
Noodle boy.
1:38:58
As a sauerkraut kid.
1:39:00
Young people were hit the hardest by COVID
1:39:02
-19 and by all sorts of state decisions.
1:39:04
And now on top of that, they want
1:39:06
to send us to war.
1:39:06
It's nonsense.
1:39:07
Berlin has voted to reintroduce voluntary military service,
1:39:11
but with a clause that worries youngsters most.
1:39:13
If recruitment numbers fall short, conscription becomes compulsory
1:39:17
again.
1:39:18
Across the country, it's all hands to the
1:39:20
pumps.
1:39:21
Anti-conscription committees have sprung up, like here
1:39:24
in Munich.
1:39:25
My sign says, form committees.
1:39:28
Say no to mobilisation for war.
1:39:30
For Tim and his friends, who stage agitprop
1:39:33
events and rallies, stopping re-militarisation is now
1:39:37
urgent.
1:39:37
I don't want Germany to be involved in
1:39:39
another war, or even to be able to
1:39:42
start one.
1:39:42
That's exactly where this return, or rather reactivation,
1:39:46
of conscription will lead.
1:39:49
So yeah, they're not like American kids.
1:39:52
I'm gonna get them ragheads.
1:39:55
Towelheads, here we come.
1:39:57
Watch out, Saddam.
1:39:59
No, it's like, uh-uh.
1:40:00
It's ridiculous.
1:40:02
I can't believe it.
1:40:03
They want me to go fight.
1:40:04
I can't even choose if I want to
1:40:05
die.
1:40:07
I can't even choose where I want to
1:40:09
go.
1:40:10
Yeah.
1:40:10
Noodle boy.
1:40:11
No, sauerkraut kid.
1:40:14
That's the new one.
1:40:15
That's the German noodle boy.
1:40:16
Sauerkraut kid.
1:40:17
That's what he is.
1:40:20
So yeah, no one.
1:40:22
But Europe, see, this is the thing.
1:40:23
The Europeans don't even, first of all, everybody's
1:40:26
tuned out.
1:40:27
No one's listening to this nonsense.
1:40:29
All they know is there's rovers and Bentleys
1:40:33
and high-end vehicles parked on sidewalks with
1:40:37
Ukrainian license plates, occupying homes that they can't
1:40:41
rent.
1:40:42
That's what the kids care about, because that's
1:40:45
the reality of the situation.
1:40:47
And they're sick of that.
1:40:49
They're like, eh, what is this?
1:40:50
And they're tuned out.
1:40:51
They're not listening to all this nonsense.
1:40:54
It's like, I can't even get a home
1:40:56
to rent if I want one.
1:40:58
So they're not listening.
1:40:59
And now, all of a sudden, it's like,
1:41:00
hey, all that stuff you haven't been paying
1:41:02
attention to, well, now you got to go.
1:41:04
Cannon fodder.
1:41:06
Yeah, cannon fodder.
1:41:07
Cannon fodder.
1:41:08
They realize it, yeah.
1:41:10
It's sad.
1:41:11
It's sad, sad, sad.
1:41:12
And I just don't see a rosy future
1:41:15
for the European Union.
1:41:19
Just doesn't sound like...
1:41:20
Well, I never saw a rosy future for
1:41:21
them personally.
1:41:22
Well, the whole thing was kind of a
1:41:24
strange idea to begin with, but yeah.
1:41:27
It was done, and it was only done
1:41:29
to fight us.
1:41:31
The whole reason for the European Union from
1:41:33
the get-go was to create a economic
1:41:35
system that had less problems with moving goods
1:41:40
from in-between countries and being able to
1:41:43
consolidate an operation that can compete with the
1:41:46
United States.
1:41:47
Yeah.
1:41:48
And so now they've...
1:41:49
And it turns out that China was the
1:41:50
real problem.
1:41:51
Yes.
1:41:51
And now they're doing the Mercure agreement.
1:41:54
I think it's called Mercure, where they're opening
1:41:57
up a trade with some South American countries
1:42:00
and all the farmers are like, what?
1:42:03
Because if those guys can use fertilizer, we
1:42:05
can't.
1:42:06
They can shoot up their cattle with anything
1:42:08
that we can't.
1:42:10
And so now we're going to be importing
1:42:12
food from other countries.
1:42:17
They're truly nuts.
1:42:20
It's bad.
1:42:20
Christina's going to be arriving here.
1:42:22
She'll be here about 6.30 tonight.
1:42:24
I'm going to work on these kids for
1:42:26
a week.
1:42:27
Don't go back.
1:42:28
Don't go back.
1:42:30
They're going to go back anyway.
1:42:31
That's my guess.
1:42:34
But they'll be, you know...
1:42:36
Okay, I got a couple of clips that
1:42:38
go to domestic stuff.
1:42:40
I want to get the Reiner stuff out
1:42:41
of the way.
1:42:42
We didn't talk about it in the last
1:42:43
show.
1:42:43
We didn't want to.
1:42:44
Yeah.
1:42:45
But more importantly, is this Brown shooting?
1:42:49
Yes.
1:42:50
And I thought from the get-go that
1:42:52
it was a targeted shooting of the Republican
1:42:55
girl.
1:42:57
I don't know anything about the Republican girl.
1:43:00
Two people died.
1:43:02
One of them was the head of the...
1:43:03
the vice president of the Republican club at
1:43:06
Brown University.
1:43:06
And there's probably five Republicans at Brown University.
1:43:09
And none of them are my family members
1:43:12
because all my cousins went to Brown.
1:43:13
Well, it's all Democrats and all liberals.
1:43:16
It's all progressives now.
1:43:17
It's super tards.
1:43:18
All of them.
1:43:19
I love them, but they're tards.
1:43:21
So you end up with this woman killed.
1:43:24
And so it seemed like a targeted killing.
1:43:27
And there's a room full of 20 to
1:43:30
60 people.
1:43:31
And the guy comes in and yells something
1:43:32
and then shoots her.
1:43:34
And then some other guy gets shot.
1:43:36
And then he peppers the place and nicks
1:43:39
11 other people.
1:43:40
And not one person can say what he
1:43:43
said.
1:43:44
I know what he said.
1:43:46
Okay, let's go.
1:43:47
11 people shot.
1:43:48
Wait a minute.
1:43:49
Kill the Republican fascist is what he said.
1:43:52
Is that what he said?
1:43:53
That's my guess.
1:43:54
Oh, okay.
1:43:56
Now, this is...
1:43:57
I still have to set it up.
1:43:59
This is Jesse Waters.
1:44:00
And he brought on a guy who is
1:44:02
a...
1:44:04
First, he gives a little overview of the
1:44:06
incompetence of the investigation.
1:44:09
And then brings in a guy who...
1:44:11
Part two, the second clip brings in a
1:44:13
guy who's a profiler.
1:44:14
So part one...
1:44:15
11 people shot, two dead.
1:44:16
One was the most prominent Republican on campus.
1:44:20
And we don't have any answers or videos
1:44:23
or pictures.
1:44:24
We don't know what he shouted, if he
1:44:26
had an accomplice, the size of his gun,
1:44:28
the number of witnesses, where he is, how
1:44:31
he got out.
1:44:32
And the people trying to ask questions are
1:44:34
getting told, shut up, by the Rhode Island
1:44:37
senator.
1:44:37
For people who have no idea what they're
1:44:40
talking about, to offer their stupid and ill
1:44:43
-informed views about what happened all over the
1:44:47
Internet.
1:44:48
So I would please, just from a law
1:44:50
enforcement perspective, ask anyone who sees this to
1:44:54
just shut up.
1:44:56
They're asking for the public's help, but they're
1:44:58
telling us to shut up.
1:45:00
They arrested the wrong guy, got no video,
1:45:02
and didn't even know if the brown cop
1:45:04
cars had dashcams.
1:45:05
They're in no position to lecture anybody.
1:45:08
This is completely unacceptable, the whole thing.
1:45:12
Obvious Mossad.
1:45:16
So they bring this guy in, and this
1:45:18
just makes my point.
1:45:21
But the incompetence of this investigation and this
1:45:26
guy, the chief of police's Perez character, the
1:45:30
whole thing is hilarious, as far as I'm
1:45:32
concerned.
1:45:32
But this is the part that I'm absolutely
1:45:35
convinced that this was a hit job on
1:45:38
this woman.
1:45:39
Retired FBI criminal profile, James Fitzgerald.
1:45:43
Do you have a theory on this case?
1:45:45
Was this a crime of opportunity?
1:45:47
This was a soft target, guy goes in,
1:45:49
comes out, and that's it.
1:45:51
Kind of mad at the school, or was
1:45:52
he going in there to kill a specific
1:45:54
individual?
1:45:55
Yeah, in my earliest media hit on Monday
1:45:57
morning, that's what I said.
1:45:58
And as soon as I saw the name
1:46:00
of Ms. Cook, who was the vice president
1:46:03
of the Republican club, I just couldn't rule
1:46:06
that out.
1:46:07
I look at this as a profiler.
1:46:08
I've been on many task forces over the
1:46:11
years, anthrax and the murder of a DEA
1:46:14
agent, two professors murdered at Dartmouth College at
1:46:17
their home.
1:46:18
And we have to walk in with every
1:46:19
single option.
1:46:20
Was someone specifically targeted?
1:46:23
And to me, it's more than a coincidence
1:46:25
that this young woman was killed, who happens
1:46:28
to be one of the few probably representatives
1:46:30
of the Republican side of the House in
1:46:32
that particular, very far left university.
1:46:35
Something isn't right there.
1:46:36
And Jesse, before anything else, I'm also a
1:46:38
forensic linguist.
1:46:39
What the heck did that guy yell when
1:46:41
he walked in the door?
1:46:42
There's such a thing as ear witness evidence,
1:46:45
not just eyewitness, ear witness.
1:46:47
Somebody has to know.
1:46:49
And if it comes out later that the
1:46:50
Brown people, the Brown University or the province
1:46:53
PD is holding back what this person said
1:46:55
because it wasn't politically correct, that's going to
1:46:58
be really, really a problem.
1:47:00
Yeah, that's going to that's going to have
1:47:01
legal repercussions.
1:47:05
And that's where it stands.
1:47:08
Well, that's that's a better theory than I've
1:47:10
heard.
1:47:11
I just see a lot of people posting
1:47:12
about how they don't know anything.
1:47:14
And it was DEI guys and all kinds
1:47:17
of nonsense.
1:47:18
I don't know.
1:47:19
It's all sad.
1:47:20
It's always sad.
1:47:20
Real Casper milquetoast is the mayor to the
1:47:23
whole thing is pretty funny.
1:47:25
Well, it is sad, but it's also I
1:47:27
think I have the first one of the
1:47:29
season.
1:47:30
It did not come from Wal-Mart.
1:47:33
Burlington, are you familiar with Burlington?
1:47:36
Burlington Factory.
1:47:37
Burlington.
1:47:37
Well, they have they have a chain of
1:47:39
the train company now, Burlington Department Stores.
1:47:43
I think it is.
1:47:44
I've never seen one.
1:47:45
I don't think they're in California, but they
1:47:48
are the first this year.
1:47:50
First sighting of the Secret Santa.
1:47:53
An anonymous Santa has been performing Christmas miracles
1:47:57
by paying off layaway accounts at a Burlington
1:48:00
near Wilmington down in Delaware.
1:48:03
I just love this story.
1:48:04
The man, he spent about eight thousand dollars
1:48:06
paying off 50 accounts with balances ranging from
1:48:09
thirty eight dollars to hundreds of dollars.
1:48:12
He then walked out of the store, refused
1:48:14
to be recognized for his generosity.
1:48:16
And this man has apparently been quietly paying
1:48:19
off these layaways for twenty five years.
1:48:22
He agreed to go on the record if
1:48:24
he could remain anonymous.
1:48:26
OK, there you go.
1:48:27
It's still not the big the big store
1:48:30
that I want.
1:48:31
But Burlington has has won this year as
1:48:33
the first Secret Santa layaway promotion.
1:48:36
I would I would give them the score.
1:48:38
They win.
1:48:39
I think they win.
1:48:40
Yeah.
1:48:41
Yeah.
1:48:41
They did it.
1:48:42
The timing was good.
1:48:43
They got it out there.
1:48:43
You heard it.
1:48:44
Yeah.
1:48:45
Well, you're on this show now.
1:48:46
Here we go.
1:48:46
I always go.
1:48:47
I do have Google Alerts set up.
1:48:50
I'm always like, is there a Secret Santa?
1:48:53
That's a good.
1:48:53
Well, the new thing is influencers, which I'm
1:48:56
sure can also be paid like an influencer
1:48:58
goes in and pay.
1:48:59
But but they're but they're not paying because
1:49:01
the influencers, they're not going to do anything
1:49:03
anonymous.
1:49:03
Hello.
1:49:04
No, that's not good for your influencer score.
1:49:07
So they go to the exit of the
1:49:09
store and say, hey, here's a grand go
1:49:11
pay off your layaway.
1:49:11
Yeah, it's a couple thousand dollars.
1:49:13
Look at me.
1:49:14
Like and subscribe.
1:49:15
Smash that like button.
1:49:16
Like you smash the button.
1:49:19
Speaking of, you know, Tina and I, we
1:49:22
love our Christmas movies and really.
1:49:26
Yeah, we do.
1:49:27
And Netflix and Amazon have flooded the zone
1:49:30
with crap, with wow.
1:49:34
There are a couple of good ones.
1:49:36
We've enjoyed a few, but I'd say about
1:49:39
75 percent.
1:49:42
We know the story.
1:49:43
We know it's going to be romantic love
1:49:45
interest.
1:49:46
But the actors, they look like they failed
1:49:48
at gay porn.
1:49:49
It's really unbelievable.
1:49:50
Every single time you can now you can
1:49:52
just look at the icon like, no, we're
1:49:53
not going to watch that.
1:49:54
This is some guy who failed at the
1:49:56
gay porn industry.
1:49:57
And now he's acting in these Christmas movies.
1:50:00
But Kiefer Sutherland has a good one out,
1:50:03
Tinseltown, which is cute.
1:50:06
But also most of them are in London.
1:50:09
They're all in London for some reason.
1:50:11
And it's the most unbelievable thing you've ever
1:50:14
seen.
1:50:14
Not a single Muslim on the street.
1:50:16
Oh, it's so pretty.
1:50:18
It's London.
1:50:20
It'll nice there.
1:50:21
Christmas time is all all kinds of white
1:50:24
people walking around with packages and holiday cheer.
1:50:28
No Muslims.
1:50:29
Come on, Netflix.
1:50:31
Come on.
1:50:33
They're trying to bullshit you big time.
1:50:41
OK, well, speaking of this, I got to
1:50:43
be able to talk about that sort of
1:50:44
thing.
1:50:45
So you brought it up.
1:50:46
This is the Oscars.
1:50:47
Did you hear about this?
1:50:48
It's funny.
1:50:49
I was just about to play my Oscars
1:50:51
clip.
1:50:52
So we'll play yours from the BBC.
1:50:54
The Oscars are to be streamed on YouTube
1:50:56
from twenty twenty nine after the tech firm
1:50:59
outbid traditional broadcasters.
1:51:01
It will be free for more than two
1:51:03
billion global users.
1:51:05
Here's the CBS version a little bit longer.
1:51:07
The biggest night in Hollywood is on the
1:51:09
move.
1:51:10
The Oscars are leaving ABC and linear TV
1:51:12
in twenty twenty eight to start streaming on
1:51:14
YouTube in twenty twenty nine through twenty thirty
1:51:17
three.
1:51:18
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
1:51:20
says it struck this deal, which includes the
1:51:22
red carpet to allow the Oscars to reach
1:51:24
the largest worldwide audience possible.
1:51:27
The Oscars have aired on ABC for half
1:51:29
a century and YouTube declined to tell us
1:51:32
how much they paid for these rights.
1:51:34
But ABC had been paying about one hundred
1:51:36
million dollars a year.
1:51:38
Now, the shift reflects the way viewers are
1:51:40
consuming content nowadays and underlines the dominance of
1:51:43
YouTube, which is owned by Google.
1:51:46
Well, there's really a couple of things at
1:51:47
play here that I think are worth a
1:51:49
short discussion.
1:51:50
The first is no linear timeline.
1:51:53
You know, this is this is a big
1:51:55
deal that you don't have to hit the
1:51:56
news, you know, like, oh, we're running late.
1:51:59
Oh, hurry up, everybody.
1:52:00
Oh, we cut this.
1:52:01
We cut that so they can just run
1:52:04
for hours and hours, which, of course, is
1:52:06
also the downside, because which is going to
1:52:09
happen.
1:52:10
Yeah, it's going to be even more boring
1:52:11
than ever.
1:52:12
Yes.
1:52:12
And by the way, I should mention that
1:52:14
her actual use of the term linear TV.
1:52:17
Oh, yeah.
1:52:18
Yeah.
1:52:19
I thought it was interesting because they're now
1:52:22
making they're they're making the cut.
1:52:24
This is like a moment in time where,
1:52:27
OK, there's two things here.
1:52:29
We got linear TV that's different and we
1:52:33
have our, you know, the Internet stuff.
1:52:36
Well, the difference and I noticed this so
1:52:38
much, you know, like a buddy of mine
1:52:42
has a morning show here and he had
1:52:45
to fill in for the next host.
1:52:47
Her husband was sick or whatever.
1:52:48
And he says, hey, can I call you
1:52:50
for a hit?
1:52:51
He he was making a joke, but we
1:52:54
both think it's kind of not funny.
1:52:56
And, you know, so then we have to
1:52:57
talk in between the commercial breaks.
1:53:00
I hate it.
1:53:00
It's like you can't you feel rushed.
1:53:02
You can't just say something.
1:53:04
And I'm constantly being barraged by Dutch television
1:53:08
shows and radio show.
1:53:10
Hey, when you when you happen to be
1:53:12
in Holland, we want you to come on
1:53:14
our show.
1:53:15
It's like, no, no, I'm not going to
1:53:17
sit there and have to be rushed because
1:53:19
we got oh, we got sorry.
1:53:21
I got to cut you off.
1:53:21
We got to go.
1:53:22
Oh, end of the show sucks.
1:53:25
It's like this podcast.
1:53:26
Imagine like, oh, John, we got to oh,
1:53:29
oh, we're two minutes over time.
1:53:31
It's already three o'clock.
1:53:32
We already missed the affiliates.
1:53:35
We missed the news at the top of
1:53:38
the hour.
1:53:38
Oh, no.
1:53:39
But about the commercials.
1:53:41
No, all of that.
1:53:42
It's it's annoying.
1:53:44
And just how television people in general are.
1:53:48
Yeah, we want to.
1:53:49
We want to interview you.
1:53:52
And OK, well, that's fine.
1:53:53
I'll do an interview.
1:53:54
Yes.
1:53:55
So we'll have Babette and she'll call you
1:53:58
tomorrow for the pre-interview.
1:54:00
It's a pre-interview.
1:54:02
Yeah, it's like, no, no, I don't do.
1:54:05
But but everybody does the pre-interview.
1:54:07
I'm not doing your pre-interview.
1:54:09
I'm not interested.
1:54:11
Let's have it be spontaneous.
1:54:13
Oh, oh, no.
1:54:15
Can't have that.
1:54:16
I kind of understand the position about that
1:54:18
if they don't know you, because some people
1:54:21
just can't carry a spontaneous interview.
1:54:24
That's a problem.
1:54:25
Yeah.
1:54:25
And by the way, just to plug something,
1:54:27
I'm on the late I'll be on the
1:54:29
latest great America show I did.
1:54:31
Oh, how did that go?
1:54:32
I did a one hour hit hit.
1:54:36
And I thought it went well.
1:54:39
I got to plug the show quite a
1:54:40
bit.
1:54:41
We talked a little bit about your theories
1:54:43
and my theories and our theories.
1:54:47
And they were there.
1:54:49
It was a good it was moved along.
1:54:51
It was a good conversation.
1:54:52
Those two guys are pretty good.
1:54:54
They're great.
1:54:55
They're great.
1:54:55
Yeah, they've gotten.
1:54:57
Yeah, they are our disciples.
1:54:59
Graham and Grimes.
1:55:01
Graham and Grimes.
1:55:01
They are our disciples.
1:55:05
Yeah, they are big fans of the show.
1:55:06
Yeah, we have we have bred them.
1:55:08
They've been bred out of the no agenda
1:55:09
Gitmo nation soil.
1:55:11
That's where they've come from.
1:55:12
I'm very proud of them.
1:55:14
It's like millennial media offensive.
1:55:18
It's right.
1:55:19
No, I and I and I gave him
1:55:20
a nod by talking about hockey for a
1:55:23
few minutes before you did that.
1:55:25
Wow.
1:55:26
Yeah.
1:55:26
Yeah.
1:55:27
Something you got to do if you're talking
1:55:28
to Canadians.
1:55:29
Hey, you switch from from from sumo to
1:55:32
hockey.
1:55:33
You are so multi talented.
1:55:35
Got a note from Rob, the constitutional lawyer
1:55:38
this morning about two newly unsealed lawsuits in
1:55:41
California, which allege that meta meta knowingly connected
1:55:47
sexual predators with kids knowingly.
1:55:50
It's a new day.
1:55:51
There's a predator.
1:55:52
What are we going to do with him?
1:55:53
This little Joyce over there, a little 12
1:55:57
year old that says put him up, put
1:55:59
him together.
1:55:59
Pretty much pretty much the predator posed as
1:56:02
young girls and persuaded teenage boys to send
1:56:05
sexually explicit photos.
1:56:07
This, of course, is part of the seven,
1:56:10
six, four.
1:56:11
Once the predators had the photos in hand,
1:56:13
they'd spring the trap and sextort the teen
1:56:16
boys by threatening to send the pics to
1:56:18
their friends and family.
1:56:19
These two boys, two boys ended up killing
1:56:21
themselves and now their parents are suing.
1:56:23
But a meta allegedly knew that it's here
1:56:26
comes a driven follower suggestion engine.
1:56:30
Do you think that's on a paper somewhere?
1:56:32
What you got both?
1:56:34
You both got the AI driven follower suggestion
1:56:36
engine, at least give it an acronym ad
1:56:39
for Sue as a hunting ground for sexual
1:56:44
predators.
1:56:44
But instead of taking simple safety precautions, it
1:56:47
purportedly called in its growth team, which estimated
1:56:51
that safety precautions would cost one point five
1:56:54
million users a year.
1:56:56
So the AI driven recommendations allegedly the Pinto
1:56:59
can.
1:57:00
But how do you how do you figure
1:57:04
out because of the exploding gas tank?
1:57:06
Yeah.
1:57:07
And they had they did a calculation saying,
1:57:09
yeah, we better paying.
1:57:10
It's better that they die and we give
1:57:12
them the two million bucks as opposed to
1:57:14
doing the read the retooling.
1:57:16
So instead of losing one point five million
1:57:19
teen users a year from their platform, not
1:57:22
from life, the AI driven recommendations allegedly continued
1:57:26
affecting some two million child accounts in three
1:57:29
months of these.
1:57:31
Twenty two percent resulted in follow requests.
1:57:35
Moreover, while AI is adept at connecting people
1:57:38
is allegedly not good at stopping sextortion once
1:57:41
it begins, according to the suit, reporting mechanisms
1:57:44
are broken and meta refuses to act.
1:57:46
Which brings me to several notes we received
1:57:51
from people who were appalled that we were
1:57:54
laughing about this.
1:57:55
Yes, I got that.
1:57:56
But before you go there, I want to
1:57:58
mention one thing.
1:57:59
Why don't they just try to find these
1:58:01
guys and arrest them?
1:58:04
Why would suing matter?
1:58:06
Why don't you try to find the 760?
1:58:09
Is it does it take a genius to
1:58:11
track down somebody?
1:58:13
You know, are they are they that good?
1:58:15
Come on.
1:58:16
Well, according to Dame Chaos Pixie, the husband
1:58:21
to Dame Chaos Pixie, I'm sorry, every one
1:58:23
of the 15 nationwide FBI offices has at
1:58:26
least two of these cases that they're working.
1:58:29
The group loves to prey on tweens and
1:58:31
teens.
1:58:31
Yeah, OK.
1:58:31
We understand how it works.
1:58:34
I read almost daily the reports where spurned
1:58:38
exes threaten to share nudes or scammers try
1:58:40
to get money out of victims by threatening
1:58:42
the same.
1:58:42
The seven, six, four victims are not the
1:58:44
same thing.
1:58:45
OK, so it's easy to mock the victims
1:58:47
of exes and scammers.
1:58:49
These kids are actual victims.
1:58:52
But the thing is, we were talking about
1:58:55
digital ID as the obvious solution to this.
1:58:58
And maybe that was my retort to the
1:59:01
note, which is what Kash Patel himself has
1:59:03
pretty much said.
1:59:06
I think it behooves the FBI to not
1:59:10
pick these people up immediately because they they
1:59:13
want digital ID.
1:59:16
And by the way, I know a good
1:59:19
point.
1:59:20
In other words, sit on the investigation so
1:59:23
we can make it worse so we can
1:59:25
then get our way, get our way.
1:59:27
Exactly.
1:59:27
And I'll just say I know a lot
1:59:30
of kids, teenagers up to driving age who
1:59:35
do not have a phone and all the
1:59:38
parents are not going to give my kid
1:59:40
a phone.
1:59:40
OK.
1:59:41
And you know what?
1:59:41
These kids actually stand out there.
1:59:44
I think they're smarter.
1:59:45
They have better communication skills.
1:59:49
They're doing better with the opposite sex because
1:59:52
they hang out at group meetings like church.
1:59:55
Crazy.
1:59:57
And the only thing that some of them
1:59:59
have, most of them have, is they get
2:00:01
an Apple Watch, which they can text with.
2:00:04
And the parents lock down all of the
2:00:06
other apps, which I think is decent.
2:00:09
It's reasonable.
2:00:10
You can't go crazy texting on your on
2:00:13
your your Apple Watch can only send a
2:00:16
mom.
2:00:16
Hey, mom, can you pick me up?
2:00:18
You know, that's it.
2:00:19
And they do stuff together.
2:00:23
They play golf, all kinds of outdoor activities.
2:00:27
Yes.
2:00:28
Golfing is big in Texas.
2:00:30
Golfing is big everywhere.
2:00:32
Yeah.
2:00:33
So, you know, the real the parents are
2:00:37
the problem.
2:00:39
That's that's the problem.
2:00:41
They just.
2:00:42
Yeah.
2:00:42
The parents are on the phone half the
2:00:43
time.
2:00:44
Oh, it's the best example for your kid.
2:00:46
Yeah.
2:00:47
They're on the phone all the time.
2:00:48
The parents are on the phone scrolling.
2:00:51
I can't tell you how many people have
2:00:52
almost.
2:00:53
These guys are walking down the street.
2:00:55
I don't get it.
2:00:56
You're walking down the street reading your phone.
2:01:00
You're not even looking up.
2:01:01
You know, I once while you want to
2:01:03
kind of move just to a certain view,
2:01:04
you were seeing the guy.
2:01:05
Here he comes.
2:01:06
He's walking or a girl.
2:01:07
One, it doesn't matter.
2:01:08
The sex is irrelevant.
2:01:10
Now they're walking up the street.
2:01:11
They're looking at their phone, boom, boom, and
2:01:12
walking along.
2:01:14
You just want to walk in a certain
2:01:17
way and just kind of walk in front
2:01:18
of them and then then stop as if
2:01:22
you've been standing there and let them walk
2:01:24
right into you.
2:01:25
You do this on a regular basis.
2:01:27
I do as much as I can.
2:01:29
We got a note.
2:01:34
From one, I think he's Gen X.
2:01:37
Both you and John seem to be befuddled
2:01:39
by dudes not wanting chicks.
2:01:42
Allow me to enlighten you.
2:01:45
Yes, actually, we are right.
2:01:48
Allow me to enlighten you both.
2:01:51
We do, but they're out of reach due
2:01:54
to their expectations.
2:01:57
Well, there's this issue.
2:01:58
Yeah, I think it's real.
2:01:59
Young men are shifting more trad body count
2:02:03
matters and the women have unrealistic and entitled
2:02:06
requirements.
2:02:07
The rules of six are a thing.
2:02:10
Yeah, he says for the boomers.
2:02:12
OK, I've heard of what the rules I
2:02:14
read.
2:02:15
I read six feet tall, six pack abs,
2:02:18
six figure salary and younger men might have
2:02:21
six pack abs.
2:02:22
I think was was also a six inch.
2:02:25
Oh, no.
2:02:26
For me, that was the real.
2:02:28
That's the original six.
2:02:29
For me, he says I'm twice divorced, 52
2:02:32
year old male, and it's gross.
2:02:34
It's why most men have checked out using
2:02:36
the Internet for anything to.
2:02:38
I thought it was your Gen X, your
2:02:41
Gen X if you're 52.
2:02:43
I think so.
2:02:46
Yeah, you have to be.
2:02:48
I guess so.
2:02:50
It's why most men have just checked out
2:02:52
using the Internet for anything other than a
2:02:54
hookup is dead, not because of bots, but
2:02:57
because of the poison.
2:02:58
My last GF was a grad student.
2:03:01
Plot twist.
2:03:01
I know I've been moderately successful and now
2:03:04
I think maybe a mate a little bit
2:03:06
more mature.
2:03:08
Hell, no.
2:03:09
These old bats are more entitled than the
2:03:11
younger ones.
2:03:12
The wine hasn't aged gracefully.
2:03:14
It's soured.
2:03:16
Not a one off opening reply to a
2:03:19
comment about this or that online.
2:03:22
How much do you make?
2:03:23
First question.
2:03:26
Yeah, I think this is this happened in
2:03:31
the past 10 years, particularly when the pendulum
2:03:34
swung so hard the other way that, in
2:03:37
fact, I think there's EEOC lawsuits coming.
2:03:42
White men were discriminated against in business, in
2:03:46
schools.
2:03:47
You couldn't get a job.
2:03:49
Welcome to that.
2:03:49
You just introduced the op.
2:03:52
I did send you a.
2:03:54
Yeah, I got it.
2:03:55
I put it in the show.
2:03:56
Yeah, this is there's an op going on
2:03:59
and I don't know what the point of
2:04:00
it is, but I went back and forth
2:04:02
to Brunetti on this because he's I sent
2:04:04
him because, you know, he's he's your deconstruction
2:04:07
partner now.
2:04:08
No, he's a guy.
2:04:09
Yeah.
2:04:09
Well, when you take it, when you take
2:04:11
your break and he's coming on.
2:04:15
So, no, he he didn't see it as
2:04:17
an op and.
2:04:20
I'm seeing it as an op because here's
2:04:22
how so far here's how the op is
2:04:24
gone.
2:04:25
It started with Matt Taibbi promoting that article,
2:04:29
which is in the show notes.
2:04:30
It's an article in Compaq magazine where a
2:04:33
white guy is moaning and groaning about whites
2:04:36
were being screwed.
2:04:39
And and so that went to Gutfeld.
2:04:42
And it couldn't.
2:04:43
The reason I went back and forth with
2:04:45
Brunetti is because out of the blue, Brunetti
2:04:47
sent me, although he'd read the article from
2:04:49
Compaq, he sent me a presentation on Instagram,
2:04:53
which appeared out of the blue almost at
2:04:55
the same time of a whole slide deck
2:04:58
going on.
2:04:59
And I'm very professionally done on Insta.
2:05:02
Bang, bang, bang.
2:05:03
Here's what's going on.
2:05:04
Here's what's going on.
2:05:05
So I've gotten four.
2:05:06
And if if this shows up, you actually
2:05:09
gave me number five because you brought it
2:05:11
up.
2:05:11
But if this shows up on the Today
2:05:13
Show, then 60 Minutes and here and there,
2:05:16
there's an op underlying it.
2:05:18
I don't know what the point of it
2:05:19
is.
2:05:21
But it's something going on.
2:05:23
I find it interesting that the most privileged
2:05:25
white male with hot model wife is the
2:05:27
one who's interested in this issue with a
2:05:31
million with millions in the bank.
2:05:33
Who's this Brunetti?
2:05:37
Well, he's not interested.
2:05:38
That's the point I'm trying to make here.
2:05:39
He didn't think he still would.
2:05:41
He'd argue it's not an op.
2:05:43
I'm just full of crap.
2:05:44
Oh, I see.
2:05:45
I see.
2:05:45
And I'm seeing I'm already seeing it as
2:05:47
an op.
2:05:48
And he doesn't see he only saw the
2:05:50
couple of things I'm going to see a
2:05:51
bunch of it.
2:05:52
And then you brought it up.
2:05:53
So whether it's whether it's an op or
2:05:55
not, the point I wanted to make is
2:05:57
I think women have really they're the ones
2:06:01
that were not not necessarily intentional, but just
2:06:05
I think intentional.
2:06:10
Well, I'm not going with the coincident unintentionality
2:06:13
aspect to any.
2:06:14
No, I mean, they were elevated like crazy
2:06:17
and told told that you shouldn't have children
2:06:20
do your career.
2:06:22
And now exactly as this note says, these
2:06:25
women are 30.
2:06:26
They're super privileged.
2:06:27
They're lonely.
2:06:28
All these tick tock women, you realize that
2:06:31
all the tick tock women you are playing
2:06:34
on the show are lonely.
2:06:36
They're lonely, lonely, lonely.
2:06:39
Because let's face it, if you have a
2:06:40
man in your life, you're not on tick
2:06:42
tock like that, except for Candace.
2:06:44
But and that's dubious.
2:06:47
Yeah, very dubious.
2:06:48
So these are lonely women who use filters
2:06:53
and all kinds of stuff to make them
2:06:55
look good because everyone else does because I
2:06:57
need to look as good as the next
2:06:58
person.
2:06:59
And it's been very destructive.
2:07:03
So, you know, I think it used to
2:07:06
be just fashion magazines that women had to
2:07:08
live up to.
2:07:09
Now it's everybody and they've been elevated like
2:07:12
you.
2:07:12
You're the boss girl.
2:07:13
You go, girl.
2:07:14
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
2:07:16
So well, there's a lot of them that
2:07:19
think highly of themselves and they you take
2:07:21
one look at him and you say, why
2:07:23
do you think highly of yourself?
2:07:24
You look like crap.
2:07:25
And with that, I want to thank you
2:07:27
for your courage.
2:07:28
Say in the morning to you, the man
2:07:29
who put the crap in the way the
2:07:31
girl looks.
2:07:31
Say hello to my friend on the other
2:07:33
end, the one, the only Mr. John.
2:07:41
In the morning to the troll.
2:07:46
What happened to you?
2:07:47
I lost your sound effects in the morning
2:07:49
to the trolls.
2:07:52
Now we're dead in the water, man.
2:07:56
We're dead in the 1495.
2:08:00
We're dead.
2:08:01
We're dead.
2:08:02
We're dead.
2:08:02
I tell you, of course, if I had
2:08:04
1495 people show up at my door, I'd
2:08:07
feel different about it.
2:08:09
But that's it for the troll room.
2:08:11
They're listening.
2:08:12
Or if he had 1400 people donating for
2:08:14
today's show.
2:08:16
Dream on, baby.
2:08:17
That's not the life of a value for
2:08:19
value podcaster.
2:08:21
No, sir.
2:08:22
Nope.
2:08:23
We just have to depend on not capturing
2:08:25
the audience, just speaking our mind.
2:08:28
You know why?
2:08:29
Because we're Americans, period.
2:08:34
I'm practicing my Tucker rant.
2:08:37
I'm an American.
2:08:38
I will speak my mind.
2:08:39
I don't, I don't bow down to anybody,
2:08:41
period.
2:08:43
And that keeps us in the, in the,
2:08:45
in a lower tax bracket, for sure.
2:08:48
These trolls are listening, probably at noagendastream.com.
2:08:53
You can also, from there, you can log
2:08:55
into the troll room.
2:08:56
They may be listening.
2:08:57
A lot of them are on the modern
2:08:58
podcast apps.
2:09:00
This is so much fun.
2:09:02
Modern podcast apps.
2:09:03
You can get one at podcastapps.com.
2:09:06
And we have this live feature.
2:09:08
A lot of these shows are live.
2:09:09
When Darren goes live, rock and roll pre
2:09:11
-show.
2:09:11
When Planet Rage goes live, everyone's doing this
2:09:13
live stuff.
2:09:14
And it's in the same app.
2:09:15
It's like, it's like an awakening.
2:09:18
Oh, I can get a live show.
2:09:20
And on demand, yes, within 90 seconds of
2:09:22
publishing, you'll see it show up in your
2:09:24
modern podcast app.
2:09:27
So as far as- But what would
2:09:28
be a modern podcast app?
2:09:30
Podverse, Fountain, TrueFans, Podcast Guru.
2:09:35
Well, let's look at podcastapps.com.
2:09:39
Podcastapps.com.
2:09:41
And let me tell you, there's a lot
2:09:43
of them.
2:09:43
So TrueFans, Podverse, Podcast Guru, Castamatic, Fountain, Ellen
2:09:50
Beat, CurioCaster, Podcast Addict, PodLP.
2:09:54
There's a lot of them.
2:09:55
Yeah, PodLP is for the old, this big
2:09:59
in South American Africa, the flip phones, the
2:10:02
cheap Chinese things.
2:10:05
Yeah, there's a ton of them.
2:10:06
PocketCast.
2:10:07
I don't know if PocketTest does live yet.
2:10:12
But there's, I mean, there's a lot.
2:10:13
Those are the ones that do the live
2:10:14
stuff.
2:10:14
There's a lot.
2:10:16
There's a lot.
2:10:18
Yeah, it's an amazing little thing we've done
2:10:21
here.
2:10:21
We've saved podcasting.
2:10:24
Saved it from the evil empire.
2:10:28
And since- Maybe you'll get your Peabody
2:10:30
award.
2:10:30
Oh, I doubt it.
2:10:31
You know what?
2:10:32
I don't.
2:10:32
I would refuse it.
2:10:34
Like Kanye, I'd be like, I'm going to
2:10:36
flush it down the toilet if they send
2:10:39
one to me.
2:10:41
We do this show, Value for Value, which
2:10:44
- Flush it down the toilet.
2:10:46
Yeah, clog the toilet again.
2:10:48
We do the show, Value for Value, which
2:10:50
we pioneered years ago, knowing that audience capture
2:10:52
was not our game.
2:10:53
We also never really wanted to have any
2:10:55
kind of conversation with advertisers because it's a
2:10:58
pain in the butt.
2:10:58
You know, if you have some kind of
2:10:59
product and you want to support us and
2:11:02
you got to mention your product, we'll talk
2:11:03
about it.
2:11:03
And if we like it, we'll say we
2:11:05
like it.
2:11:05
If we don't, we'll just like, okay, thanks.
2:11:09
No, some of the stuff we can't check.
2:11:11
Like we don't- We don't know.
2:11:12
We're not near Martel Hardware.
2:11:15
We have not checked Martel Hardware.
2:11:17
Correct.
2:11:18
I'm sure he seems like a good guy.
2:11:20
Yeah, seems like a very good guy.
2:11:22
Although, according to him, you blocked him.
2:11:24
You blocked his email.
2:11:25
Yeah, I said that.
2:11:26
I noticed.
2:11:26
You have no idea what people get.
2:11:29
So your email server returns a message and
2:11:32
has a little traffic light with the red
2:11:36
illuminated, like you've been blocked for unspecified, for
2:11:41
spam or language, language, language.
2:11:45
Usually for language, yeah.
2:11:46
If you cuss me out in the email,
2:11:47
it will get through.
2:11:49
Oh, there you go.
2:11:51
No, that eliminates 40% of your email.
2:11:54
That's not a bad idea.
2:11:55
No, not at all.
2:11:56
You can support the show.
2:11:58
Time, talent, treasure is what we accept.
2:12:00
Time and talent, you know, giving us a
2:12:02
boots on the ground report, organizing a meetup,
2:12:05
helping us out in any kind of production
2:12:07
way.
2:12:07
We're still looking for a great idea for
2:12:09
a Christmas show.
2:12:10
We've had a couple.
2:12:12
Some interesting ones, like I would love to
2:12:16
hear some producer notes.
2:12:17
I can't imagine I have to figure out
2:12:18
which producer notes to put in.
2:12:21
That's still good.
2:12:22
Someone like Red Book Show.
2:12:23
Okay, where were you in 2024?
2:12:25
We did the Red Book Show.
2:12:28
And I appreciate that everyone's thinking about it.
2:12:30
What was the other one?
2:12:32
Tips of the day.
2:12:33
I don't think we have enough tips.
2:12:34
Yeah, there's not that many.
2:12:35
No, it's not enough.
2:12:38
What was it?
2:12:41
Oh, election predictions.
2:12:43
Well, that'll be a 25-minute show.
2:12:46
That's no good.
2:12:46
We've only had a few elections.
2:12:49
Four?
2:12:49
Are we on our fourth?
2:12:51
Let me see.
2:12:52
Obama.
2:12:52
Obama.
2:12:54
Trump.
2:12:55
Biden.
2:12:56
Trump.
2:12:57
We've had five.
2:12:58
Two Obamas, two Obamas.
2:12:59
We caught both of them, I think, didn't
2:13:01
we?
2:13:01
Yeah.
2:13:01
Yeah, we had two Obamas.
2:13:02
We caught two Obamas.
2:13:05
Trump.
2:13:06
Trump.
2:13:06
Two Trumps.
2:13:07
Biden.
2:13:08
Biden and Trump.
2:13:09
So that's five.
2:13:10
Five.
2:13:10
Five elections.
2:13:11
We got to hang our hats off, man.
2:13:14
It's getting crazy.
2:13:15
It's an epoch.
2:13:18
Okay.
2:13:19
It's the fifth turning.
2:13:22
One of the ways you can support us
2:13:24
is by making artwork or prompting away on
2:13:27
the latest model, whatever you got.
2:13:29
And it's just amazing.
2:13:30
I don't know how he does it, but
2:13:31
Darren O'Neill has mastered AI.
2:13:34
He also was a funny guy.
2:13:36
I mean, he understands the wishes of the
2:13:41
taskmaster.
2:13:43
You know, you want to have something that
2:13:44
pertains to what's talked about in the show.
2:13:46
You want to make it look kind of
2:13:47
quirky or funny or you just want to,
2:13:50
you know, or something that even if people
2:13:52
don't know what's in the show, they go
2:13:53
like, oh, that's interesting.
2:13:54
And he did the, this was the MUK
2:13:59
Ultra Show, 1825.
2:14:01
He did a bunch of drones getting caught
2:14:03
up in their fiber optic cables and looking
2:14:05
all scared about it.
2:14:07
And he's like, yeah, he nailed it.
2:14:08
He just, he totally gets it.
2:14:10
And most people don't, which is sad.
2:14:14
And then they get mad.
2:14:15
Like, I know ScareManga's mad.
2:14:17
He's mad.
2:14:18
I'm leaving the competition.
2:14:21
Did he say that to someone else privately?
2:14:24
Which of course that person immediately sent me
2:14:26
a copy of it.
2:14:27
Of course, that's what we do.
2:14:29
That's what the moles are for.
2:14:31
And the reason I haven't been mentioned.
2:14:33
Our tentacles are everywhere.
2:14:35
He says the reason I haven't been mentioned
2:14:37
in months.
2:14:39
So let's mention it.
2:14:40
He's been mentioned more than a few times
2:14:42
in months.
2:14:42
No, no, no, no, no.
2:14:44
Yeah.
2:14:44
No mentioned.
2:14:46
These, he's just like, you know, you're not
2:14:48
picking my art.
2:14:49
Well, because it's, it's always the same.
2:14:51
It's always, yeah.
2:14:52
It's always a cleavage.
2:14:54
It's always, yeah, you're right.
2:14:55
It's always the same.
2:14:57
I was like, okay.
2:14:58
Let's look at his last, last submissions.
2:15:01
I don't think he's submitted recently.
2:15:03
He hasn't submitted for a while.
2:15:04
What does he expect?
2:15:05
Let me see.
2:15:06
He's leaving the competition.
2:15:08
Let me see.
2:15:09
Am I getting, I'm going to get in
2:15:11
trouble for even saying that.
2:15:13
Yeah, it was too late.
2:15:14
Cause my, in my, in my informant, the,
2:15:17
your informants, you got your informant in trouble.
2:15:19
I just burned by, I just burned my
2:15:21
source.
2:15:22
Burn your source.
2:15:25
Here, let's look under artists.
2:15:27
Hold on a second.
2:15:28
Let me see.
2:15:29
Artists.
2:15:29
All right.
2:15:30
Uh, Darren, Dan, Dan Martin.
2:15:33
Wow.
2:15:33
He's not, he's not, where he's not even
2:15:35
on the list.
2:15:36
Where is he?
2:15:37
There he is.
2:15:38
Scaramanga.
2:15:38
Scaramanga.
2:15:40
427 submitted.
2:15:41
Last one submitted December 11th.
2:15:44
Okay.
2:15:45
He did the, yeah.
2:15:47
December 11th.
2:15:47
He did the Pocky rice dog.
2:15:50
Not funny.
2:15:50
Okay.
2:15:51
AI is dumb.
2:15:52
Not funny.
2:15:53
Read a book with, you know, kiss on
2:15:57
the boat.
2:15:58
But since we're going to be slamming again,
2:15:59
let me get it.
2:16:01
Bring up the art.
2:16:02
The last one I liked was the Frenchie
2:16:04
assassin, but you didn't like it because it
2:16:06
had Brigitte Macron as a, as a monkey,
2:16:10
as a monkey on the wall.
2:16:13
So it turns out that Scaramanga is only
2:16:17
good at one thing.
2:16:18
It's cheesecake and he's really good at it.
2:16:21
But when he tries to do something else,
2:16:23
he's just mediocre.
2:16:24
I mean, I'm not trying to be mean
2:16:25
or anything.
2:16:26
Yeah, you are.
2:16:27
You're very mean to him, but I think
2:16:28
it's justified considering that he's quit.
2:16:31
He's quit the competition.
2:16:33
He's, he's, he's left, he's left the cult.
2:16:39
His little Pocky rice thing is kind of
2:16:41
cute.
2:16:42
I liked it, but he didn't like it.
2:16:43
There was something better at the time.
2:16:44
There was just something better.
2:16:45
I don't know what it was.
2:16:46
Trump with a bone in his mouth is
2:16:48
no good.
2:16:51
Wrestling raccoons, you know, has potential.
2:16:56
He's just barely missing.
2:16:59
You know what?
2:16:59
The cartoonish things, I'm over it.
2:17:02
Jeffrey Rhea, I'm just over it.
2:17:04
You gotta be a lot better to do
2:17:06
a cartoonish thing.
2:17:08
That model sucks.
2:17:10
And let me see what else.
2:17:13
I like Joy Burglar, which is another Darren
2:17:17
O'Neill piece.
2:17:17
He didn't like it.
2:17:18
It was okay.
2:17:19
I wasn't going to fight you on it.
2:17:22
Yeah, that's it.
2:17:24
I see lots of Menorahs for today.
2:17:25
We should put a Hanukkah Menorah on the
2:17:28
artwork.
2:17:28
Let's see everyone go insane.
2:17:31
No, they'll go nuts.
2:17:33
Oh no.
2:17:34
Oh no.
2:17:35
See, I told you.
2:17:37
They got a dreidel.
2:17:39
So anyway, thank you, Darren O'Neill.
2:17:42
Great job as always, brother.
2:17:43
We appreciate you.
2:17:44
Appreciate you doing the rock and roll pre
2:17:46
-show every Thursday and Sunday as well before
2:17:48
we go live.
2:17:48
It's always a great way to get into
2:17:51
the mood.
2:17:52
Now we want to thank...
2:17:53
I have no evidence that he complains.
2:17:55
Darren never complains.
2:17:58
He's not a complainer.
2:18:02
He's not.
2:18:04
So now we start by thanking all of
2:18:08
our supporters, $50 and above.
2:18:10
And in this segment, we thank the executive
2:18:12
and associate executive producers.
2:18:13
Why?
2:18:14
Because they have supported us with enough money
2:18:18
to get one of those credits, just like
2:18:19
Hollywood does.
2:18:21
Those people don't actually...
2:18:22
All they do is hang out on the
2:18:23
set, look important.
2:18:25
They get a folding chair with the name
2:18:26
on it because they ponied up.
2:18:28
And if they're lucky, they get something out
2:18:30
of it.
2:18:30
Well, when you support us, you get great
2:18:32
value out of it.
2:18:33
And you're probably supporting us for the great
2:18:34
value you already received, such as Joseph Salasauer
2:18:39
from Melbourne, Florida, who came in with $500.
2:18:43
I don't see a note for him.
2:18:44
Do we have no note from Joseph?
2:18:46
I can't find one.
2:18:47
So executive producership for him, and he will
2:18:49
get a double up karma.
2:18:50
You've got karma.
2:18:56
Hopefully he'll send something in and we can
2:18:58
read it later.
2:18:58
Sir Mike of the Fair Tax in Clinton
2:19:03
Township, Michigan, 333.33 in the morning, John
2:19:06
and Adam.
2:19:07
This is a long note, by the way.
2:19:09
This is Sir Mike of the Fair Tax
2:19:10
Baron of Liechtenstein, moderator, liberator of Michigan 10,
2:19:17
formerly of Axehead Watch.
2:19:20
Oh, that's our Axehead Watch guy.
2:19:22
A few months ago, my fellow MI tenors,
2:19:25
Tom Hartman wrote in to tell of how
2:19:29
I helped him start his own watch company,
2:19:34
megatimewatch.com.
2:19:38
Okay.
2:19:39
Oh, I remember this guy, the wooden watches.
2:19:41
Yeah.
2:19:41
Yeah.
2:19:42
You got a watch from him.
2:19:43
Yeah.
2:19:43
Tom has not been moving product as well
2:19:45
as I had been, and I think he's
2:19:47
giving up.
2:19:48
He doesn't donate often.
2:19:50
So I tried making a $55 donation in
2:19:52
his name so he would get some karma.
2:19:54
Instead, you guys read my name and I
2:19:57
had to explain to people why I, a
2:20:00
Libertarian Party candidate, was plugging a watch with
2:20:05
very Republican sounding name.
2:20:07
Tom still uses the shipping station in my
2:20:10
basement.
2:20:11
I used for Axehead and employees Dame Kelly
2:20:15
to ship them out.
2:20:19
But now I'm ready for these things to
2:20:22
be out of my basement.
2:20:24
Oh, it's a fire sale.
2:20:25
Oh, this is a fire sale.
2:20:26
Use code ITM for a 50% off
2:20:30
of a new Christmas sale.
2:20:31
I'll be sure to tell about all Christmas
2:20:33
karma for Tom, please.
2:20:36
Okay, you get some karma.
2:20:37
P.S. Axehead watch will be returning as
2:20:43
Axehead vape.
2:20:44
Oh, no.
2:20:46
A wooden vape.
2:20:47
Oh, fully made in the United States.
2:20:49
Wooden, dry herb vaporizers in time for 420
2:20:53
Merry Christmas.
2:20:54
Well, just complicated.
2:20:55
Oh, it's weed vapes, man.
2:20:58
You've got karma.
2:21:02
Sir Jacobus Boersma.
2:21:05
Wow, he sounds Dutch.
2:21:06
From Ormond Beach, Florida.
2:21:08
333.33. ITM Adam and John, I've been
2:21:11
listening to you guys since the very beginning.
2:21:13
It's been a wild 18 years.
2:21:15
All of your considerable effort is greatly appreciated.
2:21:18
And I denounce all of the freeloaders who
2:21:21
have failed to support the V4V model, as
2:21:24
do we.
2:21:25
This donation serves to both support the show
2:21:27
and announce to the NA community, the publishing
2:21:30
of my new book, Zero Knowledge Wisdom, available
2:21:33
globally on Amazon.
2:21:35
It's a compendium of wisdom, universal truths and
2:21:38
life lessons.
2:21:39
Zero Knowledge Wisdom is full of practical information
2:21:42
that challenges conventional thinking and should resonate with
2:21:45
the knowage and audience.
2:21:46
It's a great tool for starting 2026 on
2:21:49
the right foot.
2:21:49
And John has even quoted in the Wisdom
2:21:52
of the Greats section.
2:21:54
Well, I'd like to know what that is.
2:21:57
Yeah, something I said.
2:21:58
Yeah, sock hop.
2:22:00
Well, I tried to secure endorsements from one
2:22:04
or both of you before publishing.
2:22:06
It didn't work out.
2:22:07
However, if either of you want to endorse
2:22:09
it live and or are interested in authoring
2:22:12
the forward, John apparently enjoys doing forwards, that
2:22:15
would be great.
2:22:16
Thank you for your courage.
2:22:17
And here's to four more years.
2:22:18
Well, here you go.
2:22:20
I'll do mine.
2:22:22
Zero Knowledge Wisdom is like the modern day
2:22:25
Book of Proverbs.
2:22:28
Here's mine.
2:22:29
A must buy!
2:22:31
Exclamation point.
2:22:35
Oh, brother.
2:22:36
Oh, brother.
2:22:37
Well, just get a hold of me.
2:22:38
You know, this is funny because that's a
2:22:41
good idea for a book.
2:22:42
There were two books, Volume 1 and Volume
2:22:45
2, that came out in the 30s of
2:22:47
such a book.
2:22:48
And I had a volume, I had a
2:22:50
copy of Volume 2.
2:22:51
It's all these just all kinds of little
2:22:53
sayings and wisdoms.
2:22:55
I never could find the first volume.
2:22:57
I've always wanted to collect it.
2:22:59
And I can't, now I can't even remember
2:23:00
the name of the author.
2:23:01
But it's not a bad idea.
2:23:04
All right, onward.
2:23:06
Parker Geistwhite.
2:23:10
This is my buddy here in Fredericksburg.
2:23:15
I have coffee with him about once a
2:23:17
month.
2:23:17
He is my mentee.
2:23:20
And he didn't send a note.
2:23:25
No, and he claims to be in College
2:23:26
Station, Texas.
2:23:28
And he came with 300 bucks.
2:23:30
He says give him a double up karma
2:23:31
and then find out later what he wants.
2:23:32
And I'm pretty sure because I'm pretty sure
2:23:34
it's for his birthday.
2:23:35
He's turning 30.
2:23:36
But I don't know if it's today or
2:23:38
tomorrow.
2:23:39
So I'll put him on the birthday list
2:23:40
anyway.
2:23:41
Parker, you didn't have to do that, brother.
2:23:43
But I appreciate it.
2:23:43
Executive producer for Parker.
2:23:45
You've got karma.
2:23:50
Ah, there he is.
2:23:52
Christopher Graves, Somerset, California 242.
2:23:55
Thank you for your courage to all the
2:23:56
producers who have already taken advantage of our
2:23:59
ITM 10 plus 10.
2:24:01
When I left my corporate job and went
2:24:02
back to candy making, I knew that my
2:24:05
holidays would be spent working 16 hours a
2:24:07
day for 45 days straight.
2:24:09
And while I've had years that I felt
2:24:11
blessed this year, I feel more blessed than
2:24:13
ever.
2:24:14
So with sore feet and a worn out
2:24:16
back, Maya, Maya, Magia, Magia, Magia, Magia, and
2:24:22
I say thank you.
2:24:23
There's still plenty of time to get your
2:24:25
candy.
2:24:26
So go to littlejohnscandies.com and just use
2:24:28
code ITM 10 plus 10.
2:24:31
Don't use the plus sign, spell it out
2:24:33
or call us on the phone.
2:24:35
Little John's Candies hand crafting smile since 1924.
2:24:39
No jingles, just a shout out to New
2:24:41
Jersey Ed, who's a spook.
2:24:43
Well, we all know that.
2:24:45
The website needs work.
2:24:48
Oh, does it?
2:24:49
Mimi tried to order some Little John's Candies
2:24:52
to send to Eric and Dee.
2:24:54
And she was just get collapsed and failed.
2:24:57
And so the shopping cart didn't work.
2:24:59
There was issues.
2:25:00
Oh, no.
2:25:02
So people should help these guys get this
2:25:04
thing running right.
2:25:06
Or they should get ahold of Mimi.
2:25:08
Well, ask Mimi not to use IE3.
2:25:14
You're not using IE3.
2:25:17
She's an idiot.
2:25:17
She's like two beats too long.
2:25:21
Well, yeah, because I'm trying to figure out.
2:25:23
Okay.
2:25:24
Onward, Dylan, Dylan, good old Dylan Lange, or
2:25:28
Lange in, what is it, Chilliwack, Chilliwack, BC,
2:25:33
Canada?
2:25:33
Yeah, it looks like it.
2:25:35
Chilliwack.
2:25:36
I think I may have even been there.
2:25:38
Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, I appreciate all the
2:25:40
hard work you guys do.
2:25:41
I never miss an episode and always listen
2:25:44
to the full episode, even the donation segments,
2:25:47
which I'm now in.
2:25:48
This donation puts me past the threshold to
2:25:51
be a No Agenda Night of the Roundtable.
2:25:52
I'd like to be known as Sir Dill
2:25:54
Pickle.
2:25:55
Also, please add me to the birthday list.
2:25:57
I turn 34 on December 20th.
2:26:00
No jiggles, no karma.
2:26:02
It says jiggles.
2:26:03
No jiggles given.
2:26:04
No jiggles, no karma.
2:26:06
Thanks for all you do.
2:26:07
Cheers, Dylan Lange from Chilliwack, British Columbia.
2:26:12
P.S., shout out to Tony Lange.
2:26:15
Oh, okay.
2:26:17
Jeremy Brogan is next from Amherst, Ohio.
2:26:19
Associate Executive Producership for him.
2:26:22
$222.37 he sent in a note.
2:26:25
ITM Gents, Merry Christmas.
2:26:27
I hope this message finds you well.

Row of ducks plus bank fees plus Georgia

2:26:34
It is actually very nice.
2:26:36
It's very readable.
2:26:38
A belated happy birthday to my keeper, Laura.
2:26:40
She celebrated on December 5th.
2:26:41
Suffering Succotash, please.
2:26:44
Oh, I didn't see that request.
2:26:47
Scott Simon.
2:26:52
Okay, here we go.
2:26:53
Suffering Succotash, please.
2:26:54
And whatever karma would be appropriate for a
2:26:56
human resource about to propose.
2:27:00
Oh, thank you for your attention to this
2:27:02
matter.
2:27:03
Five to eight more years.
2:27:04
Jeremy Brogan, Amherst, Ohio.
2:27:07
Suffering Succotash.
2:27:08
I'm Scott Simon.
2:27:14
You've got karma.

Sir, my amygdala, my amygdala.
2:27:23
Sir, amygdala.
2:27:24
I think it's sirmygdala.
2:27:25
Just sirmygdala.

2:27:30
This is the row of ducks.
2:27:32
Duck a rose.
2:27:33
Hi, guys.
2:27:34
I'm working on my exit strategy.
2:27:35
I designed a nerdy product for engineers and
2:27:38
others who regularly need to connect between...
2:27:42
Convert.
2:27:43
Convert.
2:27:43
Convert.
2:27:44
Convert.
2:27:44
Between millimeters and inches.
2:27:45
It's a calculator with a big knob and
2:27:48
a bright...
2:27:48
It's got a big knob.
2:27:51
It's got a big knob is what you
2:27:52
want.
2:27:53
And a bright seven segment LED displays.
2:27:56
There are three keyboard buttons to reset, to
2:28:00
switch between entering millimeters and inches, and to
2:28:04
adjust the input precision.
2:28:06
Wow.
2:28:07
And they can't visualize this.
2:28:10
The calculator sits quietly on your desk, as
2:28:14
opposed to the noisy calculators I have.
2:28:16
And come to life when you spin the
2:28:19
knob.
2:28:20
Spin that big knob.
2:28:22
It's a useful tool and fidget toy in
2:28:25
one.
2:28:26
And he's got the website is www.stipix
2:28:30
.net slash mmcalculator.
2:28:34
Stipix.
2:28:35
Stipix.net.
2:28:37
All right.
2:28:37
Stipix.
2:28:38
Go check it out.
2:28:39
Thanks for taking a look.
2:28:40
I have a small inventory listed for sale,
2:28:43
and I would be delighted to make many
2:28:46
more if there's interest.
2:28:47
Best of all, I set up a tab
2:28:50
for comments, so I'm ready for feedback, constructive
2:28:53
and otherwise.
2:28:54
Thanks again, Sean Sermigdala.
2:28:58
And then we got a note from Luke
2:28:59
Cumberland from Oxford, Missouri.
2:29:02
I don't know if I can even understand
2:29:05
what to read here.
2:29:06
He says, in the morning, please bear with
2:29:08
me.
2:29:09
Initiating value for value protocol.
2:29:11
Introducing AELA, a system dedicated to achieving computational
2:29:15
continuity, safety, and coherence via algorithmic governance.
2:29:21
Whoa.
2:29:23
It is my pleasure to help produce your
2:29:25
dynamite show.
2:29:27
I'm preoccupied with superpositions.
2:29:32
Conceptually, for instance, one, a set, not a
2:29:35
spectrum containing everything between O and 2.
2:29:38
We can learn a lot from that set
2:29:39
of infinite probabilities, namely observation resolves the set
2:29:42
into reality.
2:29:44
So preoccupied when a magnetohydrodynamic system occurred to
2:29:49
me.
2:29:50
Does he have a website for this?
2:29:52
You know, I was driving back from Austin
2:29:54
yesterday.
2:29:55
This is one of those guys who's going
2:29:56
to invent a time machine.
2:29:59
Or zero point energy.
2:30:01
Well, same thing.
2:30:02
Well, he says, so what does he have
2:30:05
now?
2:30:06
I don't understand what it is.
2:30:07
First public iteration of this work is the
2:30:11
AELA dissonance modulator browser extension.
2:30:15
Okay.
2:30:15
So A-A-E-L-L-A dissonance
2:30:18
modulator browser extension function.
2:30:20
It grants user a volumetric control axis, enforcing
2:30:24
constraints on web chaos.
2:30:26
It actively measures and suppresses dissonance entropy, auto
2:30:31
collapsing, distracting feeds and animation, and clickbait headlines
2:30:35
for a low dissonance online experience.
2:30:37
He has a GitHub coming.
2:30:39
Okay.
2:30:40
Well, let me know when.
2:30:43
And he has a VPN protocol coming too.
2:30:46
Let me know.
2:30:46
And I'll gladly mention it on the show,
2:30:49
whatever website you have.
2:30:50
But this is a bit like yesterday I
2:30:52
was driving back from Austin.
2:30:54
A lot of traffic.
2:30:56
And I'm like, oh, it's a new day.
2:30:58
Where'd you go to Austin?
2:30:58
I have my hair cut.
2:31:00
My girl.
2:31:01
Okay.
2:31:01
You know, get the latest.
2:31:03
Did you learn anything at the barber?
2:31:04
No, nothing.
2:31:05
Nothing.
2:31:06
No, she can't talk about stuff anymore because,
2:31:08
you know, they were afraid she was turning
2:31:10
MAGA.
2:31:12
So now we can't talk.
2:31:14
Because they don't poison you there.
2:31:16
They might have.
2:31:17
I don't know.
2:31:18
But so I flip on Joe Rogan because
2:31:20
he's got, again, he just had him on.
2:31:23
What's that guy from Black Horse?
2:31:25
Black Dark Horse?
2:31:27
I don't know.
2:31:28
Come on.
2:31:28
You know, one of the brothers.
2:31:30
One of the brothers.
2:31:31
I don't know.
2:31:31
The brother.
2:31:32
The black guy?
2:31:33
No.
2:31:36
With Heather.
2:31:38
He's with Heather.
2:31:40
With Heather.
2:31:40
Oh, Weinstein.
2:31:41
Weinstein.
2:31:41
Thank you.
2:31:42
Weinstein.
2:31:43
The thin one or the big one?
2:31:45
The big one.
2:31:46
What's his name?
2:31:46
Oh, he had the big one on.
2:31:47
He had the big one on.
2:31:48
Yeah.
2:31:48
That's Eric.
2:31:50
The Eric Weinstein.
2:31:51
Yes.
2:31:52
Is that Eric?
2:31:52
Yes.
2:31:53
Yeah.
2:31:53
Eric's the big one.
2:31:55
Well, the biologist.
2:31:58
No, no.
2:31:59
The biologist is the other Weinstein.
2:32:01
The skinny one.
2:32:03
Eric is the mathematician who works with Peter
2:32:06
Thiel.
2:32:07
He's a big fat guy.
2:32:08
No, the big head.
2:32:08
No, no.
2:32:09
And he's the guy who kept begging to
2:32:11
be Joe Rogan's friend on one of his
2:32:13
shows.
2:32:13
Yeah.
2:32:13
Okay.
2:32:13
So it's Brent.
2:32:14
Brent.
2:32:15
Brett?
2:32:15
Brett.
2:32:16
Is it Brett?
2:32:17
Brett.
2:32:18
If we're a mess.
2:32:19
We're terrible.
2:32:20
And he's like, yeah, I asked to come
2:32:23
back on because I have something really important.
2:32:26
And then he went, oh, he, it was
2:32:28
like another media whore.
2:32:30
Oh, it was, it was the worst.
2:32:31
I mean, I love Joe, but it was
2:32:33
the worst.
2:32:33
And I tried to stick after 44, 45,
2:32:36
maybe almost an hour.
2:32:38
And he's talking about how evolution happens.
2:32:41
And this it's a solution, not just a
2:32:44
fold.
2:32:45
And I'm like, my eyes like, oh man,
2:32:48
this is the worst idea.
2:32:50
Joe, I think Joe thought he had like
2:32:52
some kind of major breakthrough, scientific breakthrough.
2:32:56
It was like every time it was every
2:32:57
five minutes, like my, so my hypothesis is
2:33:00
what I'm putting on the table.
2:33:02
I'm like, oh no, I could tell.
2:33:04
I think Joe was irritated.
2:33:07
Oh man.
2:33:08
Anyway, Luke Cumberland, your note was very similar
2:33:12
to that Joe Rogan episode.
2:33:13
So send me a link to your browser
2:33:16
extension.
2:33:19
You're up next.
2:33:20
Oh, I'm sorry.
2:33:21
I was, I was hypnotized by that fascinating
2:33:23
story.
2:33:26
Eli, the coffee guy.
2:33:28
Wow.
2:33:29
I get him.
2:33:31
And you know where he's from?
2:33:32
Yes.
2:33:33
Bensonville, Illinois.
2:33:34
That's right.
2:33:36
With all the doom and gloom clogging up
2:33:38
the news cycle, ISIS back in, back in
2:33:43
rotation, war with Venezuela and now apparently razor
2:33:48
blades showing up.
2:33:49
Oh, bonus clip.
2:33:52
Did I, I think I clipped that.
2:33:53
Do you have the razor blade clip?
2:33:55
I think I do.
2:33:55
Hold on a second.
2:33:56
It's showing up in Walmart bread.
2:33:58
Yes, I have it here.
2:34:00
Lots of new information we're learning this morning
2:34:02
about razor blades that were shoved into loaves
2:34:04
of bread at two Walmart locations here in
2:34:07
Biloxi.
2:34:08
And we're also learning this morning that this
2:34:10
has been going on for more than a
2:34:11
week and it has taken Walmart apparently more
2:34:14
than 10 days to contact police about this
2:34:16
issue.
2:34:17
Also new this morning, we're receiving pictures.
2:34:19
Check these out that were sent to us
2:34:21
from a viewer who purchased a loaf of
2:34:23
bread.
2:34:24
Let me bring you up to speed on
2:34:25
this.
2:34:25
Yesterday, Monday, Biloxi police around noon received a
2:34:28
call from Walmart here on the Walmart superstore
2:34:31
that managers have been receiving complaints from customers
2:34:35
finding razors in their bread.
2:34:37
When workers in the deli went to inspect
2:34:39
loaves of bread, they found even more razor
2:34:41
blades.
2:34:42
A Biloxi police officer showed up and took
2:34:43
a report.
2:34:44
A little while later, Biloxi police was called
2:34:46
again, this time from the neighborhood Walmart on
2:34:49
Pass Road in Biloxi.
2:34:50
And they reported the same thing, finding razors
2:34:53
shoved into loaves of bread.
2:34:55
This morning, investigators are combing through surveillance video,
2:34:57
trying to find the person responsible for shoving
2:35:00
these razor blades.
2:35:01
And we're also learning that this has been
2:35:02
going on for at least more than a
2:35:05
week now.
2:35:06
Can you still buy razor blades for, for,
2:35:10
for your shick memory?
2:35:13
And you had that thing, you, you twist
2:35:15
the handle and then the claw opens up
2:35:18
and you put the razor blade in.
2:35:19
Do they still?
2:35:20
Yeah, I think you can.
2:35:21
Hmm.
2:35:23
And they're used for scraping.
2:35:24
I mean, this razor blazing deal.
2:35:27
Yeah.
2:35:27
I'm thinking, I'm thinking it was probably some
2:35:29
other kind of razor blade, not a safety
2:35:31
razor as they used to know.
2:35:33
Anyway, there, there you go.
2:35:34
Bonus clip in the, uh, in the donation
2:35:36
segment.
2:35:37
Well, I think you cut open a loaf
2:35:39
of bread and find an elect like electric
2:35:41
razor in there.
2:35:42
Okay.
2:35:44
Be kind of cool.
2:35:44
All right, Marty.
2:35:46
Uh, the holiday season, Christmas came early code
2:35:52
bond Gino, by the way, did you hear
2:35:54
about what's happening?
2:35:55
Yeah, he's back.
2:35:56
Code bond.
2:35:56
Gino's coming back.
2:35:58
No bond.
2:35:58
Gino's quitting.
2:35:59
Yeah.
2:36:00
And that means code bond.
2:36:01
Gino is coming back.
2:36:02
Oh yes.
2:36:03
Code bunch.
2:36:03
He'll be back.
2:36:04
So the guy's in less than a year.
2:36:07
Yeah.
2:36:09
He's less than a year and he quits
2:36:10
the job.
2:36:11
He couldn't handle it.
2:36:13
No, because it's actual work.
2:36:16
It's office work.
2:36:17
Not like opposed to podcasting.
2:36:20
Yeah.
2:36:21
Hey, he thought, you know, he's like, wow,
2:36:22
it's going to be cool.
2:36:23
I'm going to be a deputy, a director
2:36:25
of the FBI.
2:36:26
What, what, this is a desk.
2:36:30
Where's the mic.
2:36:31
What, where's, what are these files?
2:36:34
I'm supposed to, what am I supposed to
2:36:35
do with all these pilot files?
2:36:37
TPS reports.
2:36:38
Oh no.
2:36:39
TPS report.
2:36:40
Exactly.
2:36:40
Well, I appreciate him for serving.
2:36:43
I'm sure it was a rough time.
2:36:45
Oh, I had to be miserable.
2:36:46
Of course it was miserable.
2:36:48
Once again, proving that podcasting is the wave
2:36:50
of the future.
2:36:51
Just as deputy, uh, just as just ask
2:36:55
a deputy director, Dan.
2:36:57
Oh, okay.
2:36:58
It's a reference to bond.
2:36:59
Gino still no agenda is the best podcasting
2:37:01
universe.
2:37:01
No matter what bond Gino says the best
2:37:04
hosts and the best discount codes in the
2:37:06
game.
2:37:07
So with gigawatt or visit gigawatt coffee roasters
2:37:09

2:37:11
20% off your order.
2:37:12

2:37:14
Stay caffeinated.
2:37:15
Eli, the coffee guy jingles ISIS in America
2:37:18
and go podcasting.
2:37:40
I'm going to get the next one.
2:37:41
So you can see if you can fix
2:37:43
your problem from your last Linda Lou pack.
2:37:46
Can I just mention something?
2:37:47
We do have new Sharptons for people who
2:37:50
I have a new Sharpton for people who
2:37:52
want to request sharp.
2:37:53
And I was like, I want to hear
2:37:55

2:37:56
like to share.
2:37:57
Here we go.
2:37:58
Oops.

2:38:14
There you go.
2:38:16
That's AI.
2:38:17
No, it's actually from a movie.
2:38:22
It is.
2:38:23
And it's him.
2:38:25
Yeah.
2:38:26
So that's from a script.
2:38:28
I don't know if it's the same.
2:38:29
Feels good.
2:38:32
Michael Benevento in Yonkers.
2:38:36
Yonkers.
2:38:36
Yonkers.
2:38:37
Yonkers.
2:38:38
Yonkers.
2:38:39
Too many people from Yonkers.
2:38:41
When you're an arm monk, you go to
2:38:42
Yonkers, man.
2:38:43
You go to Yonkers to shop.
2:38:44
That's what you do.
2:38:45
You go to Yonkers.
2:38:47
You go Yonkers.
2:38:48
Yes.
2:38:50
200 bucks.
2:38:50
He has no note that we can find.
2:38:53
And so he gets to double up karma.
2:38:54
He sure does.
2:38:56
You've got karma.
2:39:00

Congratulations with these Hollywood accepted credits.
2:40:09
Our formula is this.
2:40:13
We hit people in the mouth.
2:40:27
I have one short little screwball clip that
2:40:30
I thought was funny.
2:40:31
I don't know if you heard this about
2:40:32
the Finland.
2:40:34
All I know about Finland is they just
2:40:37
bought a whole bunch of F-35s from
2:40:39
us.
2:40:40
No, they had to apologize to all the
2:40:42
Asian countries.
2:40:43
Listen to this.
2:40:44
Oh, brother clip.
2:40:45
Oh, my second.
2:40:46
Oh, brother.
2:40:47
The Finnish prime minister has apologized to citizens
2:40:50
of Japan, China and South Korea for offensive
2:40:53
squinting gestures made by three politicians from his
2:40:56
governing coalition.
2:41:01
What were they doing squinting and doing a
2:41:05
Chinese accent?
2:41:07
No, no.
2:41:08
Yeah.
2:41:08
Yeah.
2:41:08
So he had to apologize for the country.
2:41:11
This must be this.
2:41:14
I've got I got to figure this one
2:41:17
out.
2:41:17
Hey, by the way, Gen Zeds, you're looking
2:41:21
for a job.
2:41:21
You're looking to get paid good money.
2:41:23
Want to live in a nice community where
2:41:25
they're eating the dogs no more.
2:41:27
I was going to face a problem that
2:41:29
could trickle down to you and what you
2:41:31
purchased today.
2:41:32
I went to Columbus to talk to Governor
2:41:33
Mike DeWine about what will soon be a
2:41:35
giant hole in the workforce in Springfield.
2:41:37
We talked about other things, too.
2:41:38
But in about a month, the government's going
2:41:40
to change the status of Haitians working there
2:41:43
in that community from legal to illegal.
2:41:46
That's about 10000 workers gone.
2:41:48
I asked if the governor has appealed to
2:41:50
the White House.
2:41:51
He tells me he's talked to everyone who
2:41:53
will listen.
2:41:54
These people who are currently legal, who came
2:41:57
here legally, they will be their status will
2:42:01
change and they'll no longer be legal when
2:42:03
that happens.
2:42:04
All those employers will no longer be able
2:42:06
to employ them.
2:42:08
And so that one day all of them
2:42:11
are going to be unemployed.
2:42:12
And these companies are going to have start
2:42:15
scrambling, trying to figure out how are we
2:42:17
going to make our production?
2:42:18
They're eating the dog.
2:42:20
This issue, you'll recall, was a big one
2:42:21
during the presidential election.
2:42:23
I had to put that in.
2:42:24
Yeah.
2:42:26
So before one starts crying, TPS, temporary protective
2:42:32
status.
2:42:33
That's right.
2:42:33
It's time to go home now.
2:42:36
You've been protected.
2:42:37
You go home.
2:42:38
We have lots of people who want jobs,
2:42:40
I presume.
2:42:42
Or are we all now too arrogant?
2:42:44
We don't want to work in a factory
2:42:45
because that's what we're going to get.
2:42:47
That's what it's going to be.
2:42:48
And there'll be good paying union jobs.
2:42:54
Yeah.
2:42:54
I don't know.
2:42:55
Yeah.
2:42:56
I don't know what they're going to do.
2:42:57
They got this.
2:42:58
Now they have the Somalians.
2:42:59
They're going to have to do something about
2:43:00
them.
2:43:00
There's a lot of them that are in
2:43:01
the same circumstance.
2:43:03
Yeah.
2:43:05
And now they're starting to make a real
2:43:07
fuss about Ilan Omar actually probably being illegally
2:43:11
entered under the became a she married her
2:43:14
brother.
2:43:17
She is actually sillier than that.
2:43:19
They had to get her brother out there.
2:43:22
Her brother's gay.
2:43:24
Oh, have you heard the whole story about
2:43:25
this?
2:43:26
No.
2:43:27
Gee, my eyes must have glazed over.
2:43:30
Her brother's gay and Somalia was having an
2:43:32
anti-gay crusade and they had to get
2:43:34
him out of the country.
2:43:35
So they found a guy with this.
2:43:37
They found a guy with a name in
2:43:39
England that she ended up marrying technically and
2:43:43
then changed her brother's name to that guy's
2:43:45
name, brought him over as though they were
2:43:47
married and then never divorced her first husband.
2:43:51
The whole thing is such a disaster.
2:43:54
It's complete fraud.
2:43:56
And she should be.
2:43:57
She should be deported.
2:43:59
Deported.
2:43:59
She should.
2:44:00
I'm telling you, this is going to this
2:44:01
is going to begin.
2:44:02
They're going to tar and feather, run her
2:44:04
out on a railroad.
2:44:07
Deporter, you watch.
2:44:09
This is going to be a big deal.
2:44:10
And it starts to because Trump already hinted
2:44:12
at it.
2:44:13
And yeah, no, he wouldn't.
2:44:16
Retribution.
2:44:17
He wouldn't have said it if he didn't
2:44:19
if he didn't know something.
2:44:20
That's kind of like the Reiner thing that,
2:44:22
you know, I'm I'm kind of trying to
2:44:26
place this because what he posted about the
2:44:28
murder of Rob and Reiner and his and
2:44:32
his wife, you know, in fact, I have
2:44:34
a have a clip here.
2:44:36
Hold on a second.
2:44:41
Here it is, Reiner, this.
2:44:45
Here we go.
2:44:46
A number of Republicans have denounced your statement,
2:44:49
denounced social after the murder of Reiner.
2:44:52
Do you stand by that post?
2:44:53
Well, I wasn't a fan of his at
2:44:55
all.
2:44:55
He was a deranged person as far as
2:44:58
Trump is concerned.
2:44:59
He said he liked he knew it was
2:45:01
false.
2:45:02
In fact, it's the exact opposite that I
2:45:04
was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia.
2:45:07
You know, the Russia hoax.
2:45:08
He was one of the people behind it.
2:45:11
I think he hurt himself in career wise.
2:45:13
He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement
2:45:17
syndrome.
2:45:17
So I was not a fan of Rob
2:45:19
Reiner at all.
2:45:21
And I had to really think about this
2:45:24
because.
2:45:25
You know, he posted kind of like he
2:45:28
was deranged, made people crazy and rest in
2:45:31
peace at the end or something like that.
2:45:33
And everyone's like, oh, you can't do this.
2:45:37
Like, you know, I can't ask you because,
2:45:39
you know, he's Trump is 80.
2:45:42
But I can see where when you're 80,
2:45:46
you're like you have a different view of
2:45:48
death.
2:45:49
Like, OK, he's dead.
2:45:51
You know that Trump doesn't seem to have
2:45:52
a problem with death.
2:45:55
And he's somewhat sympathetic, but he he did.
2:45:58
Right.
2:45:58
But he didn't virtue signal.
2:46:00
And I kind of have respect.
2:46:02
He doesn't do that.
2:46:03
I kind of have.
2:46:04
Yeah, he doesn't do that.
2:46:05
And I wrote an essay on this in
2:46:07
the last newsletter.
2:46:08
I'm just thinking of blowing it out as
2:46:09
a sub stack thing because I have so
2:46:11
many Rob Reiner screen.
2:46:14
You should do you should do a little
2:46:15
thread emoji on X and post it in
2:46:18
fifteen hundred posts.
2:46:19
Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
2:46:22
One, although one slash 20.
2:46:27
Although now that you mention it, it's a
2:46:29
funny idea.
2:46:31
But Rob Reiner had nothing but hateful, daily
2:46:35
hateful posts about Trump.
2:46:38
And I have one of them exemplified on
2:46:40
the newsletter, which was one of the an
2:46:43
example of about six days in a row
2:46:45
where he's just bitching and moaning.
2:46:48
And it was was relentless for for the
2:46:52
entire time Trump was stepped down the escalator
2:46:55
or came down the escalator.
2:46:57
And it never ended.
2:46:58
And it was just it was unconscionable.
2:47:00
And I don't see why Trump should.
2:47:02
It was both of them.
2:47:03
It was Michelle as well.
2:47:04
They were calling him Hitler and fascist and
2:47:09
Hitler.
2:47:10
A lot of Hitler from her.
2:47:11
A lot of that still doesn't mean that
2:47:14
I like them being killed, but it was
2:47:16
it shouldn't have been killed.
2:47:17
To me, it was like, OK, so it
2:47:19
was honest.
2:47:21
I'll give him that.
2:47:22
But didn't feel he didn't feel good about
2:47:25
it.
2:47:26
How did you feel?
2:47:27
I didn't it didn't bother me one way
2:47:29
or the other.
2:47:29
It was very Trumpian.
2:47:32
It's not it was like was it a
2:47:34
shock to anybody that Trump was like nonplussed
2:47:38
about the whole thing and would say something
2:47:40
like this?
2:47:41
Well, I think people are like he could
2:47:43
have gone off the deep end and said
2:47:44
there was a couple of assholes.
2:47:46
I'm glad they're dead.
2:47:47
That's what I think he wanted to say.
2:47:49
I think that's what he said.
2:47:51
That's what he said.
2:47:52
But he didn't say it directly.
2:47:53
Yeah.
2:47:54
But yeah.
2:47:55
Yeah.
2:47:56
Yeah.
2:47:57
But it was now said, well, it's not
2:48:00
right.
2:48:01
Well, the thing that bothers me is that
2:48:06
is they tried to pull this off.
2:48:08
I don't think they accomplished much, but they
2:48:10
try to say, well, you Republicans are hypocrites
2:48:13
if they let Trump get away with this,
2:48:15
when they were when they were making such
2:48:17
a fuss about people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death,
2:48:20
which I also mentioned in this column.
2:48:22
And no, because Trump was directly targeted to
2:48:26
people who are celebrating Charlie Kirk's death.
2:48:29
Charlie Kirk wasn't directing nasty tweets at them
2:48:34
for years on end.
2:48:35
No, no.
2:48:36
So this is a false equivalency, which they
2:48:39
love to pull out of the hat every
2:48:41
chance they get.
2:48:42
Hold on.
2:48:42
I have a joy, joy, read the joy,
2:48:46
the joy, read show.
2:48:48
Is this an old clip?
2:48:49
Let me see.
2:48:49
Trump's response was to crap all over Rob
2:48:52
Reiner.
2:48:53
Oh, she has a podcast now.
2:48:55
Oh, you don't know that.
2:48:56
Yeah.
2:48:57
Here it is.
2:48:57
He was a terrible thing.
2:48:58
Terrible for America.
2:48:59
Russia, Russia, Russia and dumb Trump bullshit.
2:49:02
So this has caused even Republicans to say,
2:49:06
whoa, that's too much.
2:49:08
You know, you can call a reporter piggy.
2:49:10
We're down with it.
2:49:10
You can say you can grab a woman
2:49:11
by the P word.
2:49:12
We're cool with it.
2:49:13
You can even like actually grab Eugene Carroll
2:49:15
by the P word and get adjudicated as
2:49:18
a sexual assault or abuser.
2:49:19
We're good with that.
2:49:20
We're going to commit 37 felony counts.
2:49:23
You can rob New York.
2:49:24
You can take classified documents home and put
2:49:28
them in your shower, in a tacky shower.
2:49:31
You can do all of those things.
2:49:32
We don't care what you do.
2:49:33
You can do anything you want when you're
2:49:34
starting to let you do it.
2:49:35
You're Donald Trump.
2:49:35
You're a star to us.
2:49:36
You can do anything.
2:49:37
You can call women fat, ugly, anything you
2:49:40
want.
2:49:40
You can call all Somalis, you know, garbage,
2:49:43
anything you want.
2:49:44
Go after anybody you want.
2:49:46
But not our not not a Hollywood star.
2:49:48
We actually lie.
2:49:49
Not not not this.
2:49:50
The people inside MAGA who are closest to
2:49:53
the MAGA base, they see Trump up close.
2:49:56
They know that he is faltering cognitively.
2:49:59
They see his cankles swelling up to the
2:50:01
size of an elephant's feet, other than except
2:50:04
that he's not as delightful as an elephant.
2:50:06
He's the opposite.
2:50:07
They can smell his diaper full on many
2:50:10
occasions and have multiple times a day.
2:50:12
They see him wandering around seemingly unaware of
2:50:15
where he is at times, not knowing what
2:50:17
city he's in, sometimes rambling, answering questions with
2:50:21
complete non sequiturs.
2:50:22
We've heard on this program with medical experts
2:50:25
saying that he's definitely in cognitive decline, maybe
2:50:28
dementia.
2:50:31
Experts, experts.
2:50:32
I haven't seen the experts.
2:50:35
Well, terrible.
2:50:37
She's definitely part of the problem.
2:50:40
By the way, I just have to say
2:50:42
because I have we have a listener, black
2:50:45
female listener, and she sent me a note
2:50:48
like a week ago, says, are you going
2:50:50
to play any clips from Nicki Minaj talking
2:50:53
good about Trump or do you only play
2:50:55
black women who are insane and mad?
2:50:58
And as I'm playing them like, yeah, it's
2:51:00
pretty much true.
2:51:01
But I'd ask.
2:51:02
I said it's funnier.
2:51:04
I said, can you please send me a
2:51:05
link?
2:51:06
She says it's all over X.
2:51:08
Well, like if you're not even going to
2:51:09
send me a link to your favorite Nicki
2:51:10
Minaj clip, then, you know, do better.
2:51:14
And yeah, and she also Minaj has a
2:51:17
then they're now claiming she has a crush
2:51:20
on Jesse Waters, which is part of it.
2:51:23
Oh, that's good.
2:51:24
I like that.
2:51:25
So they so gut felt had on.
2:51:26
He likes to bring on George Santos, the
2:51:29
phony congressman who, you know, got kicked out
2:51:31
of Congress and then spent a couple of
2:51:32
days in jail afterwards.
2:51:34
Yeah.
2:51:34
That Trump commuted his sentence.
2:51:36
Yeah.
2:51:36
And he brings Santos on.
2:51:38
Santos had an interesting thing to say about
2:51:40
it because he was part of a program
2:51:43
of a bill.
2:51:43
He put a bill together, which most like
2:51:46
Crockett never done this called the Minaj Act.
2:51:49
And it had to do with.
2:51:51
Yes.
2:51:51
But he says that he says, I don't
2:51:54
know what the fuss is about about Minaj
2:51:57
being a MAGA because she voted for it.
2:52:00
It was well known to everybody that was
2:52:02
involved with her or newer.
2:52:03
She voted for Romney.
2:52:05
She's been a Republican for a while.
2:52:07
So what?
2:52:08
Yeah, right.
2:52:10
Yeah.
2:52:11
No, I think she just says you're only
2:52:13
playing clips of black women who are mad.
2:52:16
Well, of course, what does it look like?
2:52:18
There's nothing there's nothing entertaining about this.
2:52:21
Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Mirage, Mirage, Nikki Mirage
2:52:28
saying anything is cognizant.
2:52:30
Who cares?
2:52:32
There you go.
2:52:33
And there it is.
2:52:35
Yeah.
2:52:36
All right.
2:52:37
What do we have?
2:52:38
Anything else we need to talk about?
2:52:39
Let's get these two grinder clips out of
2:52:41
the way.
2:52:42
These are backgrounders from the BBC.
2:52:43
And I thought they'd be more objective than
2:52:45
American reports.
2:52:46
Okay.
2:52:46
I see rundown BBC and rundown three BBC,
2:52:49
but no rundown to unless.
2:52:51
Yes, there is no two.
2:52:52
Okay.
2:52:53
A number of Republicans have denounced your statement.
2:52:57
This is the same clip I had.
2:52:59
Yeah.
2:53:00
It was part of the report.
2:53:02
Well, after the murder of a little baby.
2:53:06
Okay.
2:53:06
I got it.
2:53:07
Well, I wasn't a fan of his at
2:53:09
all.
2:53:09
He was a deranged person as far as
2:53:12
Trump is concerned.
2:53:13
He said he liked he knew it was
2:53:15
false.
2:53:16
In fact, it's the exact opposite that I
2:53:18
was a friend of Russia controlled by Russia.
2:53:21
You know, it was the Russia hoax.
2:53:22
He was one of the people behind it.
2:53:25
I think he hurt himself in career wise.
2:53:27
He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement
2:53:31
syndrome.
2:53:32
So I was not a fan of Rob
2:53:33
Reiner at all.
2:53:35
All right.
2:53:35
There was nothing different than that.
2:53:37
My clip from that clip.
2:53:38
Well, that sucks.
2:53:39
Yeah.
2:53:40
Okay, well, let's play three then.
2:53:41
On North America correspondent Peter Bowes was there.
2:53:44
Another Brit.
2:53:46
It was a very brief appearance by Nick
2:53:48
Reiner.
2:53:48
He sat at the front of what is
2:53:50
a very large courtroom in this downtown LA
2:53:53
courthouse.
2:53:54
He was mostly expressionless.
2:53:57
He had a blank look on his face.
2:53:59
He listened to his lawyer, Alan Jackson, who
2:54:01
have just heard from asking the judge to
2:54:03
adjourn the hearing until January the 7th to
2:54:06
allow more time to prepare the case.
2:54:09
Mr. Jackson later said that there were complex
2:54:10
and serious issues that needed to be carefully
2:54:13
examined.
2:54:14
Normally at a first appearance, a defendant will
2:54:16
get the opportunity to enter a plea guilty
2:54:18
or not guilty.
2:54:19
That did not happen.
2:54:21
He was asked by the judge whether he
2:54:23
understood that the hearing was being adjourned.
2:54:25
And he replied, yes, your honor, before soon
2:54:28
being taken away back to jail to await
2:54:31
the next hearing.
2:54:32
And prosecutors in this case have raised the
2:54:35
possibility of the death sentence, haven't they?
2:54:37
They have.
2:54:38
If he is eventually found guilty at a
2:54:41
jury trial, he could face either life without
2:54:44
the possibility of parole or indeed the death
2:54:47
sentence.
2:54:48
Although the prosecution have said that they have
2:54:50
not yet decided whether they would pursue that
2:54:54
option.
2:54:54
It's interesting that California hasn't executed anyone for
2:54:57
almost 20 years.
2:54:59
Capital punishment remains legal here, but the current
2:55:02
governor, Gavin Newsom, has issued a moratorium on
2:55:06
the death penalty, which halted all executions from
2:55:09
2019.
2:55:10
And we heard from his lawyer, Alan Jackson,
2:55:13
just then.
2:55:13
And this is a man who is very
2:55:15
used to these high profile cases.
2:55:18
Oh, yeah.
2:55:18
He is a veteran Los Angeles criminal defense
2:55:21
lawyer, a defense lawyer now widely known for
2:55:24
handling these high profile complex cases like this
2:55:28
one.
2:55:28
In the past, he's represented celebrities Harvey Weinstein,
2:55:32
Kevin Spacey to name two.
2:55:34
He has seen the courtroom.
2:55:35
This is interesting from both sides.
2:55:37
Now he is a defense lawyer, but previously
2:55:38
he was a federal prosecutor.
2:55:40
He was a senior Los Angeles County District
2:55:43
Attorney.
2:55:44
And if he has a reputation for anything,
2:55:46
it is his very persistent style of cross
2:55:50
-examination.
2:55:51
You know, when I first read the president's
2:55:53
response, I thought, man, he must know something.
2:55:57
Maybe he already knows that the kids like
2:56:01
you guys are so horrible, I'm going to
2:56:02
kill you.
2:56:04
But then I thought, man, maybe not.
2:56:06
What do you I mean, it's a complicated
2:56:07
case.
2:56:08
I mean, is this not I mean, this
2:56:11
is all stuff.
2:56:12
This is all propaganda because this Jackson guy
2:56:15
is one of those.
2:56:16
Somebody pointed out, he says the best friend
2:56:18
of a defense attorney is a continuance.
2:56:21
And he's already got a couple of stalling
2:56:23
tactics in there.
2:56:24
It's going to take forever to get this
2:56:26
thing underway.
2:56:26
He wants to be on TV.
2:56:29
He wants to be on TV.
2:56:31
He's going to be on TV a lot.
2:56:32
He's dope.
2:56:33
But how did he even get hired?
2:56:34
Nobody knows that.
2:56:35
They don't know who's paying him.
2:56:38
This question has come up.
2:56:39
You know, this guy is the hottest attorney,
2:56:41
the hottest defense attorney in L.A. and
2:56:43
he's somehow not right away.
2:56:45
He's the guy without any moment of hesitation.
2:56:49
He shows up immediately.
2:56:50
How's that work?
2:56:51
Well, maybe the kid didn't do it.
2:56:55
Maybe the kid didn't do it.
2:56:56
So we have to ignore the bloody room
2:56:59
at the motel and the.
2:57:01
Well, he might have been there, but maybe
2:57:03
he didn't do it.
2:57:04
Maybe he didn't do it.
2:57:05
But if he gets convicted, here's the prop
2:57:07
bed of the century.
2:57:09
Death, death, death penalty or no death penalty.
2:57:13
I don't think that's a good prop bed.
2:57:15
It's going to be one.
2:57:16
It's going to be one.
2:57:17
It will be.
2:57:17
But I don't think that's the good that
2:57:19
that better be that.
2:57:20
Everyone will say no.
2:57:22
I think.
2:57:22
Well, which is where you want a prop
2:57:24
beds.
2:57:24
You want to be lopsided.
2:57:25
Exactly.
2:57:26
Exactly.
2:57:27
But there will be a I will get
2:57:29
a memo from a bed age.
2:57:32
What is it called?
2:57:33
The online bed age?
2:57:35
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:57:36
He said, yeah, he said they will send
2:57:37
me a note.
2:57:38
I'm on the mailing list for the prop.
2:57:40
That's me, too.
2:57:41
Yeah.
2:57:41
And so I'll get that.
2:57:42
We'll read them when they come out.
2:57:44
People can put their money down, waste their
2:57:46
money.
2:57:47
So you agree with me that it's a
2:57:49
great prop bet because it'll be lopsided.
2:57:51
So there's an agreement.
2:57:53
Well, I'm not going to I mean, I'm
2:57:56
not a big fan of the whole prop
2:57:58
phenomenon.
2:57:59
But really, everyone seems to be a trillion
2:58:02
dollar marketplace.
2:58:03
It is a huge because it's you know,
2:58:05
it's it's compelling.
2:58:06
I mean, can't we do our own prop
2:58:08
bets?
2:58:09
We well, I think I don't see why
2:58:12
not.
2:58:13
I mean, we'd be pretty good at it.
2:58:16
You know, I mean, I mean, first of
2:58:18
all, how do you make money as a
2:58:19
prop bed company?
2:58:20
I'm thinking you make it as you work
2:58:23
on the middle.
2:58:24
So there's there's some sort of it's an
2:58:26
arbitrage game.
2:58:27
I forget.
2:58:28
It's too much work of our.
2:58:29
It is too much work.
2:58:30
You have to know what you're doing.
2:58:31
You have to be a statistician to do
2:58:33
it.
2:58:33
Right.
2:58:33
And even get the podcast awards together.
2:58:35
So when there's not going to be any
2:58:37
coming to expect things to happen overnight, that's
2:58:40
your problem.
2:58:41
I'm going to show my support by donating
2:58:43
to no agenda.
2:58:44
Imagine all the people who could do that.
2:58:46
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
2:58:53
Yeah.
2:58:53
Well, that leads us to the last of
2:58:58
our donation segment, the second donation segment, where
2:59:00
we talk about the or we mentioned the
2:59:02
people and thank the people who donated fifty
2:59:04
dollars or more.
2:59:05
And Adam's going to start at the top
2:59:06
with our best friend from us from Nevada.
2:59:10
Yes.
2:59:10
And we love all of the people who
2:59:12
support us financially.
2:59:14
It is the only way to do a
2:59:16
podcast that is not capturable by the audience.
2:59:20
Dame Rita is who you're referring to.
2:59:21

3:03:47
I was driving through the mountains of northern
3:03:48
Greece listening to show 1825 when John started
3:03:51
talking about grappa.
3:03:53
I had to smile because right at that
3:03:55
moment, the air was filled with the unmistakable
3:03:57
smell of grape must from the nearby distilleries.
3:04:02
My husband, George, and I would love to
3:04:04
invite to know agenda community, Adam John, executive

We got some groovy AI slop and some
3:08:02
not coming up our end of the show
3:08:03
mixes.
3:08:04
But first we have to talk about our
3:08:05
meetups.
3:08:11
I can't remember.
3:08:16
When was the first No Agenda Meetup?
3:08:18
Do you remember what the first one was?
3:08:20
I can't remember.
3:08:21
Was it?
3:08:22
Is that the one we did in Austin?
3:08:24
The big one?
3:08:25
I think the meetups began with the Hot
3:08:28
Pockets Tour.
3:08:29
Ah, yes.
3:08:30
Okay.
3:08:30
So that is a long time ago.
3:08:33
Yeah.
3:08:33
So maybe the first one was at our
3:08:36
Dame there in Virginia.
3:08:38
I'm thinking.
3:08:39
Wherever the Hot Pockets Tour started is where
3:08:42
it started.
3:08:44
Well, there's one taking place today and they
3:08:46
are all over the world.
3:08:47
It's a global phenomenon.
3:08:48
No Agenda producers get together, chat, hang out,
3:08:51
learn about each other's skills.
3:08:54
Some date.
3:08:55
It's all kinds of good stuff happens.
3:08:56
It really gives you connection.
3:08:59
And with that connection, automatically built in is
3:09:01
protection.
3:09:02
These people will be your first responders in
3:09:03
an emergency.
3:09:04
I guarantee it.
3:09:05
Charlotte's Thursday, third Thursday monthly starts at seven
3:09:08
o'clock tonight.
3:09:09

3:09:24
third, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, the twenty six

3:09:30

3:09:34
Go to No Agenda meetups dot com to
3:09:35
get the full load on.
3:09:36
If you can't find when you start one
3:09:38
yourself easy and always a party.
3:09:41
You want
3:09:51
to be where everybody is.
3:09:58
All right.
3:10:02
So now we are at the end of
3:10:06
show ISO's, which we always like to compete
3:10:10
to see which little bit we should end
3:10:13
the show with, which is always kind of
3:10:15
fun.
3:10:16
I don't know.
3:10:16
Do people there's no competition.
3:10:18
Let's just hold hands and tell a secret.
3:10:21
Since I have four and I'm going to
3:10:23
win, I'm going to play my four first.
3:10:25
Here we go.
3:10:26
It was really great.
3:10:27
And the performances were fantastic.
3:10:30
OK, I'll try my next one.
3:10:34
This is this is bonkers.
3:10:37
I don't like that one.
3:10:38
How about this one?
3:10:39
And it takes balls, the weight and heft
3:10:42
of anvils to pursue this.
3:10:46
And I think this is a good clip.
3:10:47
It's too long.
3:10:48
It's too long.
3:10:49
It's too long.
3:10:49
This one, I think, is a wow.
3:10:51
Adam and John hit it out of the
3:10:53
park again.
3:10:55
Compete with that, Dvorak.
3:10:56
Well, I actually have the same clip damn
3:10:58
near.
3:10:59
This is ISO home run.
3:11:00
Really?
3:11:01
How is it?
3:11:01
That show was a home run.
3:11:04
Wow.
3:11:04
Adam and John hit it out of the
3:11:06
park again.
3:11:07
I think that is a so you're now
3:11:09
moving into my territory.
3:11:11
You're poaching as usual.
3:11:13
Yeah.
3:11:14
Yeah.
3:11:15
Yeah.
3:11:15
Tick tock clips are next.
3:11:17
You already started those.
3:11:19
OK, let's start with.
3:11:20
Let's go.
3:11:21
How about bonus bonus bonus?
3:11:25
Wow.
3:11:25
Give these two guys a bonus.
3:11:28
I like I'm already removing mine.
3:11:30
I like that one a lot.
3:11:32
OK, then we go to the two.
3:11:34
I have two variations on the exact same
3:11:36
clip.
3:11:37
OK, here comes with different intimate weight.
3:11:39
Let's do number two first.
3:11:40
What a great show.
3:11:42
Where is our Peabody Award?
3:11:45
OK, try one.
3:11:46
What a great show.
3:11:48
Where is our Peabody Award?
3:11:49
Nothing beats.
3:11:50
Wow.
3:11:51
Give these two guys a bonus.
3:11:53
That's the winner.
3:11:55
Hey, everybody, it's time for John's coveted tip
3:11:58
of the day.
3:12:02
Just to see.
3:12:05
And sometimes.
3:12:08
OK, first, I have a mea culpa to
3:12:10
to correct the record on the knife, the
3:12:13
whatever that knife was that we had.
3:12:16
Yes, Chinese.
3:12:18
Oh, no.
3:12:19
Which is OK, because it's still a folded
3:12:21
knife.
3:12:22
The Chinese have taken the Japanese.
3:12:26
That's why it's cheap.
3:12:28
That's right.
3:12:29
Although I saw the price went up to
3:12:30
seventy five dollars on Amazon.
3:12:32
Suddenly it's normally seventy five.
3:12:34
I think we sold out of the sale
3:12:36
price ones.
3:12:36
I said just I was one.
3:12:40
Yeah, you had to get them right away.
3:12:42
So I did.
3:12:43
Seventy five is still cheap because that's a
3:12:44
two hundred fifty dollar plus knife if it
3:12:47
was Japanese.
3:12:47
But it is.
3:12:48
And I should have.
3:12:49
I shouldn't.
3:12:50
I probably knew this.
3:12:52
But the pattern, the classic pattern that you
3:12:57
get on the knife from dipping in water
3:13:00
and pulling the blade so much that's on
3:13:03
there is it's like they've toned it down.
3:13:06
I think the Japanese emphasize it.
3:13:09
So they put dye or something to make
3:13:11
it look really or really stands out.
3:13:13
But it's still a killer knife.
3:13:16
I got a number of notes from people
3:13:17
telling me to make sure I correct the
3:13:19
record on the origin of this.
3:13:21
All right.
3:13:22
All right.
3:13:22
All right.
3:13:22
So this is the eggnog recipe this time.
3:13:25
Oh, don't tell me this is the Ben
3:13:27
and Jerry's get drunk.
3:13:29
No, no, no, no.
3:13:29
This is a real eggnog recipe.
3:13:32
And I'm going to read right from it.
3:13:34
And this comes from this is one of
3:13:36
the 20 eggnog recipes or tend to.
3:13:39
I don't know how many there are in
3:13:40
the too many eggs dot com.
3:13:42
Go to too many eggs dot com and
3:13:44
download the PDF.
3:13:45
Oh, you got it.
3:13:46
You got in trouble.
3:13:48
Well, how do I get in trouble?
3:13:50
Well, Mimi's like you're talking about eggnog.
3:13:53
You didn't promote my book.
3:13:55
Well, no, she never said that.
3:13:56
I'm just promoting the book.
3:13:57
But they but there's plenty of eggnog recipes,
3:14:00
including one somebody sent me from Alton Brown,
3:14:03
who can't cook, by the way, for the
3:14:06
aged eggnog, which is also in the cookbook.
3:14:09
But this is not the age.
3:14:10
This is the regular make an eggnog the
3:14:12
hard way.
3:14:13
I'm going to just read it.
3:14:14
You can.
3:14:15
You can take tape this or you can
3:14:17
just download.
3:14:18
Have you tried this recipe?
3:14:19
You just.
3:14:20
Mimi has.
3:14:21
Mimi has.
3:14:22
OK.
3:14:22
And she's done all these egg recipes.
3:14:25
But the recipe is in the show notes.
3:14:29
I'm going to read it and I'm going
3:14:31
to read her writing.
3:14:33
She wrote it says many people don't like
3:14:34
raw egg eggnog.
3:14:36
That's what I would have.
3:14:39
It's too late and it's too late for
3:14:40
an aged eggnog.
3:14:41
I give you the cooked eggnog, an extravagant
3:14:44
drink for the upper class.
3:14:45
Winter eggs are an expensive luxury.
3:14:48
Typically, the eggnog toast was as she goes
3:14:50
on.
3:14:51
Here's the classic basic warm eggnog recipe.
3:14:55
Six eggs beaten.
3:14:56
One quarter cup sugar.
3:14:57
One quarter cup or one quarter teaspoon of
3:15:00
salt.
3:15:00
One cinnamon stick.
3:15:01
Four cups of milk or milk and cream.
3:15:06
One teaspoon of vanilla extract.
3:15:09
A quarter teaspoon of nutmeg.
3:15:10
A quarter teaspoon of all spice.
3:15:12
Massive addition of some alcohol before serving.
3:15:15
Stir nutmeg in as a garnish.
3:15:18
It is.
3:15:18
Here we go.
3:15:20
In a saucepan, mix the beaten egg, salt,
3:15:22
cinnamon stick and two cups of milk.
3:15:24
Heat over low heat, ideally in a double
3:15:25
boiler.
3:15:27
But on the stove directly, if you are
3:15:29
careful, stir constantly until the mixture gets to
3:15:32
160.
3:15:34
Do not allow the milk to boil.
3:15:37
Mixture will thicken slightly.
3:15:38
Remove from heat.
3:15:39
Stir in remaining milk and the vanilla extract.
3:15:42
Stir in ground nutmeg and all spice.
3:15:44
Pour into a container and refrigerate overnight.
3:15:47
Then you can add your booze.
3:15:49
There's your recipe.
3:15:52
I know if it's the tip of the
3:15:54
day, but that's what everyone wanted.
3:15:56
Mainly you.
3:15:57
I didn't need to hear you tell me
3:15:59
how to make it.
3:16:00
I've got the word doc right here in
3:16:02
the show notes.
3:16:04
Eggnog is good.
3:16:05
Maybe he told me to do it.
3:16:06
She's got a knife to my throat, people.
3:16:08
Go make this eggnog because that's what happened.
3:16:11
We know what happened.
3:16:12
There it is.
3:16:13
Find it with noagendafund.com, tipoftheday.net.
3:16:27
That is too many eggs.com, everybody, because
3:16:29

3:16:31
You know, the women of the No Agenda
3:16:33
show, they don't mess around.
3:16:35
They want you to promote their stuff.
3:16:40
We're doing it.
3:16:41
All right, everybody.
3:16:42

3:17:36

3:17:38
Remember us at noagendadonations.com.
3:17:41
Until then, adios, foes, and hooey, hooey, and
3:17:46
such.
3:17:52
Testing.
3:17:54
Testing.
3:17:55
Oh.
3:17:56
Oh.
3:17:58
Hello, world.
3:18:00
Attention, all elves.
3:18:02
Please put down your quills.
3:18:05
We are pivot-tabling to a new paradigm.
3:19:30
Dvorak.
3:19:32
Can you even say it, Sun Ho?
3:19:34
It's Dvorak, Dvorak.
3:19:36
He's Dvorak.org, the legend we see.
3:19:40
But when the AI sings, the name sounds
3:19:44
so weak.
3:19:47
It's Dorak, Dvorak, not Duvorak.
3:19:50
Please, this Dvorak problem is bringing me to
3:19:53
my knees.
3:19:57
Or the algorithm fails, the voice trips and
3:20:01
it stalls.
3:20:02
Trying to pronounce the great Dvorak name for
3:20:06
us all.
3:20:07
Is it Dvorjak?
3:20:09
Is it Duvorak?
3:20:12
It's just not right, the legacy of Dvorak
3:20:15
lost in the digital night.
3:20:18
Say it right.
3:20:21
Dvorak, Dvorak, Dvorak, Dvorak, Dvorabak.
3:20:25
Dvorak, Dvorak, Dvorabak.
3:20:41
Dvorak, Dvoraka.
3:20:46
Dvorak, the buzzkill first duke.
3:20:49
But the sound alike, Dvorak is making me
3:20:51
puke.
3:20:53
Dvorak.
3:20:54
However, if none of these work, it's JCD
3:20:58
with a smirk.
3:21:00
