This is no agenda. Running through the tape and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
Starting point is 00:00:23 And from Northern Silicon Valley, where they're all saying denmark had a queen well yeah she had but decated i'm john c devorex you should have gone with the mass singer opening i mean that that was better you know the queen of denmark abdicated who did she abdicate to does she have a youngling so we're gonna have the king yeah i didn't know this how old is she 82 oh wow she has a bad back and she says he's getting on her nerves and she must love her son her son unlike uh elizabeth who hated her son so much he hung on there forever she's like no no i'm not you know damn it well here we are john live the end of 2023 running through the tape to 2024 not looking back only looking forward yeah take a quick glance in the chat room
Starting point is 00:01:26 do a count oh okay let me see do an early count before catch them off guard oh okay well hold on a second oops stop no joke out 15 21 for sunday yeah it's down a thousand 1521. For Sunday? Yeah. That's down a thousand. Well, I told you. This is why nobody works on these days except us. You should have started with them. We're dedicated. You should have started with the Masked Singer opening. I've done it twice.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Yes. A couple of Dutchisms for you, everybody. As tonight, we'll be eating olibola we haven't talked about the olibola in a long time no but there's gonna bring dutch in i got a classic coming up yeah it's yes i have a couple other dutchisms olibola look it up it's oil balls yes oil balls the dutch are eating oil balls and i realized that they have very different um ways of saying happy new year oh the dutch you just learned this now no i just never thought to write it down 15 of these and i forgot to write here it is everyone says that
Starting point is 00:02:41 which means happy year change. Which is kind of weird. And the other one is zalig uiteinde. Which means lovely ending. Have a lovely ending. Huh. I always thought it meant happy ending, but I looked it up. Have a lovely ending. It sounds like something a mafia guy would say to someone.
Starting point is 00:03:04 Hey, have a lovely ending. Yeah sounds like something a mafia guy would say to someone. Hey, have a lovely ending. Yeah, that's what they do. That's what they do in Holland. Well, to celebrate the end of the year since nobody's listening anyway. I brought new clips. You just went to the archive. You must have spent. I got new clips.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I got a couple. I finally brought the Al Gore one in, but I want to do a couple of these classics because I have some classic for New Year's. And this is the one I'll play. This is the classic Dutch New Year videos. Classic Dutch New Year videos, okay. Yes, you did indeed just witness a man fire a rocket from his ass cheeks. To you, this might seem a little crazy or even borderline insane. But to the Dutch, it's just another New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 00:03:56 The Netherlands, 364 days of the year, is quite peaceful. Normally, the closest the average Dutchie gets to war, or oorloch, is a potatje oorloch. On the 31st of December, this all changes. Their most beloved New Year's tradition is making their safe little country feel like a war zone. I forgot about the guy with the bottle rocket from his butt.
Starting point is 00:04:44 That's a classic video. rocket from his butt. Yes. That's a classic video. Yeah, classic. No agenda, classic. Classic video. Yeah, the Dutch go crazy with their fireworks, and it really starts two weeks ahead of time. There was a report, I forget what station it was,
Starting point is 00:04:59 and they had a reporter in Amsterdam for some reason. It was completely unrelated. I think it was even an Israel report, but the reporter was a British reporter in Amsterdam for some reason. It was completely unrelated. I think it was even an Israel report. But the reporter was a British reporter in Amsterdam about Israel. And it sounded like she was in Israel with bombs going off because that's just what it's like in Holland for full two weeks before and after the New Year's. And I have to say that Texas is a bit like that. And our dog, for as big a mouth as she has, man, she does not like fireworks.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I'd say 90% of dogs don't like fireworks. I mean, she will not go outside with me to pee. She's like, nope, nope, nope. I'll just cross my legs. Are the fireworks going off now? Oh, for the past week, they've been going. At least some douchebag at 1130 at night or something. Hey, look at this.
Starting point is 00:05:45 I mean, we have a lot of fireworks stands all like 290, which is the road, our main drag here. I mean, there must be 50 of them from Austin, between Austin and here. And, you know, they open on certain times a year and they're, you know, big containers just out there in the fields. And people love to get their blow-up stuff so to speak they love it they love blowing stuff up here in texas but the dogs no this dog is not having it so that should be fun tonight oh yeah that's all gonna be well there's a uh mimi has uh there's some drug that you can legally give these dogs. Yes, it's called Benadryl. Well, Benadryl does work.
Starting point is 00:06:32 Oh, it works great. The dog's like, hey, man, happy. Whatever. Hey, lovely ending. She loves it, man. It's all good. So, okay, so you'll intersperse some of these classics throughout the show. Yeah, that was good.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Same way that that Dutch guy has the fireworks. Yes, interspersed throughout the show. Well, let me start us off then with something that, of course, happened on a show day, which was on Thursday. They waited until we were done. You said last night that you're not convinced. Oops, sorry. Not that one. That was good.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Good leading, Curry. We'll try it again. Start over the bank. Woo! There it is. Just one week shy of the three-year mark of the January 6th Capitol siege, Maine's Democratic Secretary of State banned Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot and blistered Trump for his actions before and during the deadly riot. In evaluating the weight of evidence, it made clear that Mr. Trump was aware of the tender that was laid in a multi month effort to delegititimize the 2020 election and then chose to light a match.
Starting point is 00:07:49 In her 34-page decision, Sheena Bellows wrote, I'm mindful that no secretary of state has ever deprived a presidential candidate of ballot access based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. I'm also mindful, however, that no presidential candidate has ever before engaged in insurrection. I was in no way influenced by my political affiliation or personal beliefs about January 6th, 2021. Trump's campaign slammed the order. His spokesman called Bellows a virulent leftist and a hyper-partisan Biden-supporting Democrat. Last week, Colorado's Supreme Court ruled Trump's name could not appear on that state's ballot because the U.S. Constitution prevents insurrectionists from holding office. While late last night, California joined Michigan and Minnesota, declining to remove Trump's name.
Starting point is 00:08:39 And there are challenges filed in more than a dozen states nationwide. We really need a decision from the United States Supreme Court, the ultimate authority to interpret what the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution says to determine whether or not Donald Trump is qualified to run for and hold the presidency. Yeah, I think that's really what this is about. We just they just want to add one extra little oomph to everything look at the supreme court they're no good they're no good they're insurrectionists themselves i can't imagine any other reason for this nonsense other than we want trump to win because so he can take all the
Starting point is 00:09:17 crap well i'm beginning to think in in that in those terms more than anything which is that we're handing trump the victory any way they can it's what you do it's what you do when everything's going to crap this is like a dubious and even newsome who started i mentioned the newsletter discussed this and newsome started off i remember clearly and i think we may have even had a clip that he wanted to do this on our ballot here but then he pushed back on the guys who did want it and figured, what's the point? It's not going to look good for him because he's still trying to get nose out Biden. And he can't look like some sort of a, you know, you can't call Trump a against democracy when you're pulling these stunts.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Well, he's not against democracy. He's an insurrectionist. That's the question CNN is asking. You said last night that you're not convinced the Supreme Court would actually take up the question of whether or not Trump engaged in an insurrection. That's one of the big questions, right, is how do we quantify this under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment if he hasn't been charged criminally or convicted? Yeah. Can they really not take up that part of it? Because that, to me, sues even further chaos.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Hold on a second. Does that woman even understand how the Supreme Court works? It's Erica Hill. Oh, my God. Poor Erica. No, I don't think she does. That, to me...
Starting point is 00:10:42 She thinks it's just, you know, like people's court. Judge Wapner presiding. Part of it, think she does to me. She thinks it's just, you know, like people's court. Yeah. Judge Wapner presiding part of it, because that to me, so is even further chaos. They can not take up the question of whether he engaged in insurrection. And I think they will not take up the question of whether he engaged in insurrection. If and when the Supreme Court takes this, it will be about it. They will not. They can not, which is what he says at first.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Then he says they will not. Well, yeah, if they can not, they will not. Hello. You want to elaborate? I'm sorry. I have cedar fever. You want to elaborate?
Starting point is 00:11:16 Supreme Court can only decide on what's before them. It's not their job to do anything beyond that. So they have to decide whether it's legal or not for these ballots to be changed like this based on the assumption of those other courts. They can't start digging into Trump's background and deciding he's an insurrectionist.
Starting point is 00:11:37 He got a couple of parking tickets and they can't figure out how come he didn't pay those. I mean, they don't do that. It's not how it works. The question of whether he engaged in insurrection, if and when the Supreme Court takes this, it will be about procedure and due process. Was he given fair procedures under the state law? Is it even up to these states and secretaries of state to decide this in the first place,
Starting point is 00:11:57 or does it have to come from Congress? I don't think any way the Supreme Court touches the insurrectionist question, it'll be based on due process. I kind of love that, the Zoom call that got out. And how does this even happen? All the time, everyone's Zoom call is always online. Get a clue, people.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Get a clue. Use Jitsi or something. Get a clue. Everyone's always logging in and recording your calls and putting them online. They all have the same hairdo. They all have the same vapid look. They're all roughly the same age all these secretaries of state it's like is that are they the soro sisters as well it's really odd i think so yeah so of course just to be completely
Starting point is 00:12:36 partisan about it jesse waters on fox he takes it to this extreme five years after the civil war pro-slavery democrats filled the halls of congress and Civil War, pro-slavery Democrats filled the halls of Congress. And 15 years later, pro-slavery Confederates actually flipped the house. 51 former Confederate soldiers or officials were elected into office. Even the vice president of the Confederacy, Alexander Stevens, an arch secessionist, landed a seat in Congress. Alexander Stevens, an arch-secessionist, landed a seat in Congress. Another Confederate rebel, Lucius Lamar, great name, who literally drafted the Missouri secession plan,
Starting point is 00:13:14 went on to serve as Interior Secretary, and was later appointed to the Supreme Court. But how is that possible? Because all week we've been hearing how the Constitution bans insurrectionists from office. The 14th Amendment. How would Confederate soldiers be allowed to serve in government but not Donald Trump? Well, it turns out Congress eviscerated the 14th Amendment 150 years ago because President Ulysses S. Grant believed national unity and reconciliation after the civil war was more important than
Starting point is 00:13:45 holding a grudge this law has been hollowed out and has been sitting on the back burner for years well that is until donald trump came along yeah yeah blah blah i love i love how someone in the troll room there's always one there's always there's always one in the troll room says that's right because the dens Dens and Republicans flip. They flipped. Oh, the flipped bull crap. Go back to your 1619 project. Oh, so Lincoln was a Democrat?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Okay, well, you can rewrite history if you have to. No, they flipped after LBJ. They flipped. Oh, LBJ flipped them. They flipped. So LBJ was a Republican. Flipper. He was Flipper.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Flipper. Seems unlikely. So, of course, MSNBC, Alex Wagner. It was a Republican. Flipper. He was Flipper. Seems unlikely. So, of course, MSNBC, Alex Wagner, she actually, I think actually this is them saying, yeah, we need to have Trump on the ballot. Do you worry that having, for example, the courts, whether the Supreme Court or a state Supreme Court,
Starting point is 00:14:42 decide to take a candidate off the ballot to Americans who don't read any of the rulings, who aren't as familiarized with the events of January 6th as perhaps you and I are, that that in and of itself smacks of authoritarianism. Do you see that at all, or do you think that that's a meritless argument? I think that our system has already been worn down and eroded. Donald Trump should not be allowed to run for president again
Starting point is 00:15:02 based on the other branches of government actually asserting themselves. Right. He should have been impeached after January 6th. There's never been a clear case for impeachment in the history of this country. If he'd been impeached, he wouldn't be allowed to run again. Wait a minute. They want to impeach him after he was no longer president. This is yet. Don't you remember? Yeah, of course. The courts. Absolutely. By the way, there's never been such a clear case besides the fact that there's no evidence he wasn't at the
Starting point is 00:15:30 insurer ends what did i what am i saying he wasn't at the protest thank you he wasn't you know he was in his car being driven away he may have wanted to go to stop it he actually said don't do it people he tweeted but he told him not to do it. But he was part of the tindering. He was part of the kindling and the tindering, and he lit the match. He lit the match. There's never been a clear case for impeachment in the history of this country. If he'd been impeached, he wouldn't be allowed to run again. Who is this guy?
Starting point is 00:15:58 This is, you know, Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes. The courts. Absolutely. If you look at the letter of the law, how is an insurrectionist allowed to get away with the Insurrection Act? Right. But the reality is we all know the Supreme Court is not going to allow him to be removed from the ballot. We all know that Congress did not assert itself. This question is going to be put to the American people. You think? I think. Inevitably. Inevitably. By the way, obviously it's the Democratic thing, but
Starting point is 00:16:33 Obviously we've got to do the Democratic thing. Darn. Obviously it's the Democratic thing, but we're only where we are with Trump because the other branches of government and the guardrails have failed yeah failed the guardrails the guardrails failed okay i've been thinking i've been thinking a lot about this because we we kind of
Starting point is 00:16:55 touched on this on the last show i'm i think we're both kind of in agreement now that they want trump they want trump to take all the nastiness they they don't want to dump it all on him and i was and i was thinking why what are all the different reasons for this so you know as you say 2025 is going to be if that's the cycle for a financial as you call it downturn yeah downturn i'm gonna i'm gonna call it deflation no we won't there's no way no it's okay deflation all you want that if that even begins people freak out so much it's perfect for trump perfect perfect for trump to deal with but even even taking it further and i never thought that i would be in on this one but the more i think about it the more it seems like the logical the logical thing to throw onto trump now let's just
Starting point is 00:17:51 take into account when you should throw under the trump throw throw onto trump onto oh that thing is a new phrase so first of all we have uh biden is is toast is never going to happen you know we've got people out there screaming he's genocide joe how many kids did you kill today joe you know that's not going to work he's out he's out the all all of the people that were pro black lives matter are now pro-palestine you know biden is seen universally as the problem here he's got got to go. There's no chance for anyone. No one wants it. Nobody wants to be a Democrat in this presidential election, as far as I can tell. But Trump,
Starting point is 00:18:32 when we had the COVID, let's just call it crisis, he's a pushover. When a push comes to shove, he relented. He went, okay, just two weeks to flatten the curve. I would call it choked.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Choke is another way to look at it. So what if they could, they, the powers that be, and I think it's always the financial powers that be, what if they could create the ultimate crisis that would result in something that the financial sector needs. And I never thought I would resort back to the 1966 Cloward-Pivens strategy. Oh, God. I never.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Hello, Glenn Beck. Well, Glenn Beck didn't have it right because he had it partially right. So the Cloward, and Cloward is dead. Frances Fox Pivens is still alive. She's 91 years old. he had it partially right. So the Cloward, and this, and Cloward is dead. Uh, Francis Fox Pivens is still alive. She's 91 years old. I looked at a whole bunch of videos from, from her.
Starting point is 00:19:33 I always thought it was Jeremy Pivens, but okay. Very funny. Um, and you know, I tried to get some good video. She's just basically a Marxist, straight up Marxist. Both of them were professors at Columbia.
Starting point is 00:19:45 She's now an emeritus professor at some other university. And bearing in mind, just in the back of my head, what the former New York banker said, he said, we win over China because our population is growing. Which means, because he's a banker, that means they get to create money somehow for some reason, which is always the point. We have a liquidity crisis right now. They need reasons, just like with COVID. It was handy. We created $7 trillion. It was a handy little crisis we had, and Trump didn't stop that. He participated in that. So I'm going to read the two pertinent paragraphs from the clivens cloward cloward pivens 1966 paper which she propagated throughout well it there's not a lot of video from her with the 60s other
Starting point is 00:20:33 than arguing with thomas soul um but in the 80s she was in a lot of shows talking about this and uh recent like a year ago on amy goodman which is tedious to watch. There was nothing clippable. The title of the paper was The Weight of the Poor, A Strategy to End Poverty. And the strategy is based on this fact that there's a discrepancy between the benefits to which people are entitled
Starting point is 00:20:59 under public welfare programs and the money they actually receive. And their whole idea was there's probably 8 million people, maybe even more, who deserve some kind of public benefits, entitlements, but a lot of them don't even know how much they're entitled to. And their whole strategy, which is literally called the strategy in the paper, the strategy to end poverty, was to get the unions and all the worker groups. And of course, we're seeing this now because the people on the streets, you know, ho, ho, hey, ho, genocide Joe. They're all from socialist workers
Starting point is 00:21:36 party, all kinds of socialist nut jobs out there with professionally printed signs. The idea is to get so many people claiming welfare that they have the right to that it creates a financial and political crisis that's the idea it was nothing else but that and then never really brought it to fruition it was to make it simpler the idea of these people the idea was that you can crush our country by overwhelming the system. And that's kind of what's going on with the border. It's kind of a test case. You overwhelm the border with all these people come barreling in and you can't do anything about it because you just let it happen.
Starting point is 00:22:19 But overwhelming the system is a way to destroy the system and the and the ultimate goal as as per the paper what they call general basic income because that would flatten everything out that would make it a fair for everybody everybody gets a basic living wage from the government and that was the final ultimate goal of their strategy and i don't't think it's, this is not a test. This is the real deal. 10,000 people a day. And that's just what we know of. So I think the idea is,
Starting point is 00:22:55 it's still going to take a while. The system is strained, but it's not collapsing yet. But you keep this going for 2024, I think we can get there. I think they can succeed with overwhelming the system. We're seeing the cities already complain. There's a lot of complaining. Is it overwhelmed? Not yet, but it will be if they keep this up. And there's no evidence that the Republicans actually want to fix this. I mean, this could be fixed today. I mean, this could be fixed today. One word like America's closed. If you're not coming into the proper channels, go away. We're not letting you in. That's it. It's just a policy. The laws are on the books, but they're all negotiating for the military industrial complex. Like, oh, you know, we need to have money for Israel and money for Ukraine, but not until you fix the border so so they're all disingenuous and i don't even think it's like one it's not like some secret cabal that is that is putting this together it's just all these different little pieces some evil forces making this happen and by the time it gets to the breaking point trump can be president bingo shakalaka. We get to the system falls apart. And I think that
Starting point is 00:24:06 then the suggestion will come and Elizabeth Warren and all these and Maxine Waters and all these people who've been doing this for a couple of years now are going to pop up. And the best thing for them is going to be the central bank digital currency. The Federal Reserve will have it does take an act of Congress to put that in place in America. They will be ready for it. They've already tested universal basic income in 28 different cities. It'll be perfect. And Trump will go, because everyone wants money.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Look at all the videos. Trump, he's my man. You've got the black guys. You've got the Hispanics. Like, yeah, Trump, because we got money under Trump. They want money and Trump's going to give it to him because that's what will be presented to him as the solution to the solution to the crisis. Just as flattened the curve was just as the vaccine was. And I think he'll buckle and he'll or choke, as you say, and he'll go for it.
Starting point is 00:24:57 That would be that would be the plan. And the reason to have Trump now, you know, spurred on by these phony baloney, take him off the ballot, which only makes him more popular. I'm sure that there's leftists who are going, you know, that's not cool, man. And I really think that that would be a perfect, a perfect plan to try and destroy the system, the country, and get what they've always wanted. And I think most of Congress wants that.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And then we can get rid of all the other welfare systems and just create money and give it to people. It's in your app. You probably think I'm crazy. Well, you can blame it all on Trump after that happens. Yes, of course. Of course. Of course.
Starting point is 00:25:43 No Democrat wants to shepherd that in or usher that in. No, you want that to be a Republican. Blame it on him. And Trump is the perfect guy for it. We already know that. That was the test. Oh, okay. He fell for it. Well, Trump would be, like you said said a good fall guy he has uh already shown the ability so now yeah well but of course you can't you know you never know different things can happen you know it should be a great trump may have learned a lesson it'll be a great year
Starting point is 00:26:21 for the show if it's you know what lesson did he learn he learned that people love him when he when he signs the checks that's that's his his well i'm hoping he learned more than that he's also just a man i mean ultimately he's just a guy you know he's not like some superhero he's just a dude who who sees what's going, but is he strong enough? I don't know. I was watching the Gutfeld show, which you don't like. And I have to say Kat Timpf had a good, just one comment.
Starting point is 00:26:56 She said that this thing had happened in Maine. All it does is add another five to 10 minutes to Trump's set. She didn't write that that must have been the right no no this is everything that on that show is pretty much written by some good some pretty talented writers and who they keep off the they don't do a credit roll on that show ever no why would you do that don't give away because you'd be those writers would be poached so fast that they wouldn't know what happened yeah you can't have that so we don't know who's
Starting point is 00:27:24 writing this show at all and they don't say i happened. Yeah, you can't have that. So we don't know who's writing the show at all. And I'd say I'm pretty convinced that the guys who are writing the show are some of the kind of semi-comics that come on the show as guests. And that includes that Joe Mackey character, who is kind of a stand-up comic. But you can see that he, because his material that he presents as himself on the show is exactly the same as everybody i mean he's i i believe he's the head writer be anyone who watches the show don't know what i'm talking about i don't care um so the wall street journal had this article headline francis collins has regrets, but too few. And it references a video.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Francis Collins, he was Fauci's boss, if you recall. And a very, very weird dude. Remember, he was playing his guitar, making up songs about staying home and lockdowns. And his wife was dancing in the background. Oh, yeah. That guy. Yeah, that guy. Well, he was Faucici's boss he was a
Starting point is 00:28:26 part of a lot of the back back room dealing oh and he resigned he resigned before the crap started to hit the fan about um gain of lies gain of function research etc so i'm unsure where this video is from wal Wall Street Journal says it appeared on X, so I don't know where it's from. Hopefully, that's two videos. Hopefully, someone will tell me. But Francis Collins is indeed leading the way in an apologist tour about what happened. And we start with this quick clip. As a guy living inside the Beltway, feeling this sense of crisis, trying to decide what to do in And we start with this quick clip. a thousand miles away from where the virus was hitting so hard, we weren't really considering the consequences in communities that were not New York City or some other big city.
Starting point is 00:29:32 The public health people, we talked about this earlier, and this is a really important point. If you're a public health person and you're trying to make a decision, you have this very narrow view of what the right decision is, and that is something that will save a life. It doesn't matter what else happens. So you attach infinite value to stopping the disease and saving a life. You attach a zero value to whether this actually totally disrupts people's lives,
Starting point is 00:30:01 ruins the economy, and has many kids kept out of school in a way that they never quite recover from. Collateral damage. So there you go. Yeah, collateral damage. This is a public health mindset. And I think a lot of us involved in trying to make those recommendations had that mindset, and that was really unfortunate. That's another mistake we made. Wow. He's admitting mistakes. This is very interesting. And then he goes one step further and expresses regret around the Great Barrington Declaration. in response to the pandemic and the lockdown saying, hey, we got to stop this.
Starting point is 00:30:46 This is not the way to go. You know, this thing is not dangerous. It's not. And by the way, the not dangerous thing, that went on for two more years, even though everybody, and you'll even hear Francis Collins agree that, no, it wasn't that dangerous. People over 65, yeah, we had to protect them. But everybody else, you know, you should get it
Starting point is 00:31:04 and then you build up uh natural immunity and that was the um uh that was the the suggested the suggestion from several um were they i think they were they were scientists were they uh pen um virologist i can't remember what it was. It was Gupta. It was a variation of people right now. This is crazy. Of course, there's no mention of the fact that Pfizer was gearing up. You know, we had Operation Warp Speed. The vaccines were in their final testing phase. They were getting rid of all the paperwork of all the dead people. And we were ready to roll it out. So we can't have any of that. He's not going to mention that other than his regrets here. this was october of 2020 we had no vaccines people were dying at high rates at that point across the country but particularly in cities
Starting point is 00:32:12 i might add being put on ventilators and killed there or or dying for other reasons and which was documented heavily documented yes they died for getting in the car wreck but they had covid they get yes because there was there was incentives to the hospitals and the doctors they got extra money if it was a covid death so everybody was dying of covid yes and i'm not even sure that collins was aware of that i mean i don't think this was very you might not still may still not be aware of it. No kidding. High rates at that point across the country, but particularly in cities. There was a hope we might have a vaccine in another couple of months, but nobody knew if it was going to work.
Starting point is 00:32:57 These three epidemiologists very... That's interesting. So in October, they didn't know if it was going to work? I thought it was ready by October. But they held it back. You remember was like oh no they held it back past the elections because the aborla and the other and all the heads of these vaccine companies didn't want trump to get reelected yeah well also kamala harris was even saying oh no i won't take a trump vaccine oh no i'm not going to know everybody said all the liberals said we will take the trump vaccine but once it became biden vaccine same exact product it was fine these three epidemiologists very distinguished by their credentials were convened uh in uh
Starting point is 00:33:40 gathering in massachusetts by scott atlas who was at that time advising the president. Very hated by the media. Hated was a nut job, conspiracy theorist, crazy guy. And they put together this short declaration which said, let's stop with the closures of businesses and schools. Most people who are under 60 or 65, if they get the virus, they're going to survive. Let's not try to protect them. Let's try to protect those who are vulnerable 60 or 65, if they get the virus, they're going to survive. Let's not try to protect them. Let's try to protect those who are vulnerable, the elderly, and maybe some others who are compromised. And eventually, the virus will run its course through the healthier people, and we will be able to get through this without so much damage done to daily life. It was sort of a let her rip as far
Starting point is 00:34:26 as the younger people. Maybe it's not a great phrase, but it was different than what was currently being proposed. Different. That declaration would have been a great opportunity for a broad scientific discussion about the pros and cons, but that's not how it was presented. On the day it was presented, it was presented to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Alex Azari. It would have been presented the next day to the president if he wasn't in Walter Reed at the time being treated for COVID. This was an effort to take a very fast track of something which would have potentially been a major change in national policy without the opportunity for any debate or discussion. And by the way, this is where Trump folded.
Starting point is 00:35:14 He folded on this, even though I think Scott Atlas quit over this. Ultimately, he's like, no one listen to me. This is what we should do. this? Ultimately, he's like, God, no one listened to me. This is what we should do. As somebody who is deeply engaged in the federal effort to try to save lives, I saw this and I was deeply troubled. I regret that I used some terminology that I probably shouldn't. Conspiracy theorists is what you called them. That somebody should put forward a devastating takedown of the dangers here, and I regret that. But I was deeply worried, and in a few days, no less than 14 of the public health associations of the United States
Starting point is 00:35:55 all together wrote a scathing takedown of the Great Barrington Declaration, saying this would probably kill tens of thousands of people. We should probably see if there's any Pfizer or Moderna money involved with those 14 organizations that wrote this scathing response. And so ultimately, that was the scientific discussion. But the effort was made by the authors and some help from Dr. Atlas to try to short circuit all that and get that into a policy decision without the opportunity for debate. So I don't regret saying this is dangerous. It was. He can't just say, I'm sorry. He can't just say it. He can't say, you know, I screwed that up. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Which is too bad. But he gets close. And of course, now he's really hated. Close is not good enough. But I mean, I have to forgive everybody. I'm not going to look backwards. They'll have to deal with it at the end of their road.
Starting point is 00:37:01 When they have their happy ending, they'll have to find out what they get punished for. When they have their sudden death. Well, speaking of such, Pfizer is doing really odd promotional videos and they're putting them on YouTube and I'm sure it's part of a package that maybe will be promoted by the morning teams in the new year, but they just completed their acquisition of Cgen for $54 billion. Cgen is an interesting company. Throughout history, the relentless pursuit of discovery has driven us to go beyond what we ever thought possible. But our greatest challenges still lie ahead. In the U.S. alone, one in three people will receive a diagnosis of cancer in their lifetime. That likely means you or someone you
Starting point is 00:37:53 know will someday face this devastating disease. Notice the music and the explosions. That's why Pfizer is going all in on cancer. We have the game-changing science and scale to take on this disease. And now, with the addition of C-Gen, a world leader and a powerful cancer-fighting tool, we are pioneering a new revolution in cancer care. We will harness cutting-edge science and technologies to attack cancer from multiple angles. At Pfizer, we believe that time is life, and for patients waiting for breakthroughs, each day matters. We won't rest until we change the trajectory of cancer as we know it. Yes, change the trajectory of cancer as we know it turbo cancers that's very handy that they now have
Starting point is 00:38:47 completed that acquisition they've got some more genetic therapies that they can use on people and i guess that's going to change the trajectory of cancer i mean problem reaction solution can't get any better and then they have learned a lot from joe biden's you're going to kill grandma if you don't uh if you don't take the shot remember that empty chair at the table that's biden's empty chair yeah they have taken it full on for their next campaign iowa is a wonderful place to raise a family. Everything moves a little slower here. We all know each other. This is home. I love it here. Hi, I'm Tammy Edwards, and I'm a mother of two daughters. I have nine grandchildren. I'm also a private music teacher and a substitute teacher.
Starting point is 00:39:46 music teacher and a substitute teacher. The wonderful thing about having my grandkids in this area is I get to see them all the time. I want to go to their soccer games, their dance recitals. I just don't want to miss a moment of their lives. The fall of 2019, I started to get this cough I could not get rid of. It took forever for someone to finally say, why don't we send you to a pulmonologist? And they said, you have asthma. And it wasn't long after that that I contracted RSV from my grandson. I went to babysit. My youngest daughter told me that they had tested positive for RSV.
Starting point is 00:40:20 I just put a mask on. I thought I was safe. I had always thought, oh, that's a kid's thing. And the next day, my whole head filled up and it just started to go down into the chest, which terrified me with having asthma. I was sick in bed for a good 10 to 12 days, lifeless. My chest was tight. I was coughing up buckets of mucus. How am I going to get through this? What if I die in the night? I was terrified. I began thinking, how am I going to be around children, which is my job, and my grandchildren?
Starting point is 00:40:53 It just broke my heart. I don't want to be afraid that I'm always going to catch something from innocent little kids. I would just love for everyone to take this seriously because you don't know how it will affect you if and when you get it. Going through RSV wasn't in vain. Not at all. I can help other people. So there's my story. There you go. Mask doesn't work. just so you know i thought the mask would work no the mask doesn't work i got it from my grandkids if only i had known if only if only i had ever heard of rsv before five years ago personally but okay yeah i know it's been around everyone's noticed this well it certainly is not something that old people had to take vaccines for because their kids are going to kill them. And that's just evil.
Starting point is 00:41:49 This is another example of why these ads should be banished. From public viewing. Especially the old, you know, the crying on screen stuff. Yeah, yeah. Then there's one more. It's a short one. We realize that here at Pfizer, we have many medications that we sell you. We don't want you taking generics. No generics for you.
Starting point is 00:42:14 My name is Lev Kubiak. I've been with Pfizer for just about six years within global security. We have a breakthrough goal to do as much as we can to eliminate counterfeit medicines. Counterfeit and illicit medicines are a problem in every country around the world. Right now we're seeing a rash of young people who are purchasing prescription medicines from online and unknowingly getting fentanyl-laced pills that can instantaneously kill them. I worry about the elderly people who are on a fixed income, maybe shopping for medicines on the internet, seeking lower prices, and get duped by criminal organizations into buying counterfeit medicines. The new campaign, No Fakes for Health's
Starting point is 00:43:01 Sake, incorporates all of the elements into an effort to hopefully have a true breakthrough moment that would change patients' lives if no one fell victim to counterfeit medicines. That's right. Generic is the new counterfeit. Yeah, you're shopping for something cheap online from Canada, from India, they're counterfeit and they're shopping for something cheap online from canada from india they're counterfeit and they're gonna kill you that's for sure yeah that's for sure if that wasn't enough we got a uh report today covid19 could trigger a heart failure pandemic oh. It's the JN.1 strain is going to kill you now from heart failure. Mm-hmm. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:43:51 It's the JN.1. I don't know how they can keep, think they can keep this going. I mean, I do like the idea that Pfizer is, because they've sent out the clot shot, as some people like to call it, or the ones that sudden death. They're just double down because that's what you do you can't ever back off on this or you're going to be in court oh yeah they can't they can't admit to it and i think it's interesting what collins is doing because he he's he'd walk on a fine line there i know he's retired and everything but is he trying to make good or what is he trying to do why is he doing he's never he never worked for pfizer or any of the big drug companies that i know of or am i wrong i mean everyone else has i wouldn't say i wouldn't be so sure about that
Starting point is 00:44:37 you don't think he's on any patents you don't think he's getting anything no he i don't know and he would get all those million dollar awards for being a christian in medicine or something like that maybe yeah that's my questions in japan though there's a there's something called caregiver fatigue um elderly care increasingly killing off aged population to cut costs just kill them. Like Canada. That's one way of cutting costs. It's a great way of doing it. Great way of doing it.
Starting point is 00:45:15 So I want to do a little climate stuff here. Oh, okay. And I want to start by talking... I had that clip. I said I promised to bring it. It's long. It's the Al Gore clip. It's long. Part of the reason it's as long as it is because it's... I have to bring it. It's long. It's the Al Gore clip. It's long. Part of the reason is as long as it is, because it's,
Starting point is 00:45:28 I have to, what you're going to hear, it hasn't been sweetened by me. Has or has not? Has, it has. Oh, so you, oh, yay, everybody. It's a Christmas,
Starting point is 00:45:38 it's a New Year's miracle. Blips and booms and bongs from John. Now the thing is, I've decided what I'm going to do in the future is i'm going to run a laugh track under these things especially with gore that's hard to do to do a good laugh track it takes hey i've been trying for years and it is hard it's harder to do than people imagine yeah um you can do it with a yeah yeah, there's ways of doing it. I just haven't been able to get the rig set up properly. But here's Al Gore.
Starting point is 00:46:08 This is, he's on, I believe this is PBS, and he's just on, and he's just allowed, they ask him a simple question of what do you think the future, what's in the future? The new head is the NewsHour guy. And he's allowed to just ramble, ramble and ramble and ramble with bull crap what can change in a day a street oh i'm sorry wrong one this one i got you broke doesn't act
Starting point is 00:46:34 what what's the worst case scenario well the scientists who warned us of these mega storms and the the floods and mudslides and droughts and the ice melting and the sea level rising and the storms getting stronger and the tropical diseases and climate migrants crossing international borders in larger numbers. They were dead right when they warned us about this. And so we need to pay more attention to them now. Here's one thing they say. If we don't take action, there could be as many as one billion climate refugees crossing international borders in the next several decades. Well,
Starting point is 00:47:13 a few million has contributed to this wave of populist authoritarianism and dictatorships and so forth. What would a billion do? We can't do this. We could lose our capacity for self-governance. Already we're seeing people driven from the places they've always called home, and we're seeing an expansion of areas in the world that are physiologically unlivable now because of the combination of heat and humidity. They're relatively small areas now, but if we don't act, they will expand to include most of India, large parts of northern South America, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, the list goes on.
Starting point is 00:47:58 The survival of our civilization is at stake. And it sounds dire, but it is dire dire and but again the good news is we can reclaim control of our destiny if we summon the the political will and the courage and the moral courage to do it you know there's a european politician claude junker who said we all know what to do we just don't know how how to be reelected if we do it. Well, this is why grassroots pressure from people who understand how high the stakes are is the critical element. And the good news, again, is people are rising up and demanding action. Your new CNN poll shows that more than three quarters of Americans, including a majority, 76 percent of
Starting point is 00:48:47 independents and more than half of the Republicans, support action. We just have to break the political power that the fossil fuel industry has exerted with its fixers and its lobbyists and its bags of money and its revolving door colleagues. But we can do this, Jake. We can do it. Do you remember back in the day when this first started, at least when we were doing the show and there was another revival of Al Gore and Peak Oil, and people would say,
Starting point is 00:49:18 you guys are getting money from the fossil fuel companies. You're getting money for it. That's what's going on there. Yeah, there was always those guys. And there's another good reason, another good way to Buffalo Trump. It's like, hey, these are climate refugees, man. Put some money into climate change, will you?
Starting point is 00:49:40 Sign off on it. I don't know if he's that stupid. Here's 12 years ago. I have two more Al Gore clips from 12 years ago. But he's actually improved his bit, I think, because he's got the climate refugees, which he never discussed. Let's start with this one. This is the climate classic 12 Gore weather equals climate. Classic 12 Gore Weather Equals Climate.
Starting point is 00:50:12 The new information that I'll be focused on in this new version of the slideshow includes a lot of the new startling evidence linking these extreme weather events around the world to the climate crisis. It's really no longer a legitimate question for doubt or debate. I know there's some people that don't like to hear it put that way, but people around the world are suffering from the consequences of the droughts and the heat waves and the extreme flooding events and the unprecedented wind storms and the fires. It's really gotten to the point now where it's kind of absurd for anybody to say, hey, nothing's going on, what's wrong? July was, in the U.S., the hottest month ever measured.
Starting point is 00:50:58 And globally, nine of the ten hottest years ever measured have been within the last ten years. This is the 337th month in a row where temperatures were higher than the 20th century average. And the fact that the news media doesn't report it in that context, every night on the news now practically is like a nature hike through the book of Revelation. Ah, there it is well here he is here he is again this is the gore going on with climate reality again over over a decade ago i think this is 2011 but this is uh this is um this never ends what can change in a day a A street can become a river. A mountain can become a mudslide.
Starting point is 00:51:49 A forest can become kindling. Across the globe, cataclysmic weather events are occurring with such regularity that it's being called a new normal. But there's nothing normal about it. And there's something else that lies destroyed amid the rubble. The truth about climate change. Big oil and big coal are spending big money to spread doubt about climate change. They've been able to do so quietly, but not anymore. On September 14th, the world will join hands to create 24 Hours of Reality, an event that will focus the world's attention on the full
Starting point is 00:52:26 truth, scope, scale, and impact of the climate crisis. To remove the doubt, reveal the deniers, and catalyze urgency around an issue that affects every one of us. Climate change is not your fault. The climate crisis is our problem, and real solutions can come when we address it together. Fossil fuel interests have money, influence, control, but together we have something that they don't. Reality.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Join us for 24 hours of reality, and show the world what can change in a day. So this was an event called the Climate Reality Day. It was supposed to be a yearly thing. It went on for 24 hours. I think it was in 2012.
Starting point is 00:53:13 Wasn't that the channel he bought? Didn't he buy a cable channel for a hot minute? Yeah, he had Current. Current TV, right? Current, yes. And he, the Climate Reality event, you can look it up on the wikipedia it's called climate reality and it was a dud it was a huge dud they never got anywhere with it and never even earth day was is still going on but this thing dropped dead and it just didn't happen and they didn't prove anything
Starting point is 00:53:39 well here here's what we can expect uh in this new year. I think because everyone's out, it's funny, because of Trump probably, but they haven't done their typical thing. I only got Science News, who had the headline, climate change made 2023 the hottest year on record. seen a lot of that from the television networks and i did see concern over record this is new york times concern over record high water levels in the netherlands very scary you know most of the netherlands is under sea level so i read this headline and of course i speak dutch so i go to all the dutch publications do you know what the headline is there? I'm guessing not quite as severe. Who is the masked singer? There's not a single thing about it. It's like, oh, yeah, there was a little concern last week,
Starting point is 00:54:38 but everything's going to be okay. They've dealt with this for a long time. They're not too worried about it. Well, the Dutch, of all people, of course. They know how to do it. They built the whole delta works the whole system something you in california could use from montecito to the bay area waves as high as 40 feet are pounding the california coastline inura County, the surf flooded streets with debris, reaching several blocks inland. The fire department there saying eight people were sent to the hospital after this rogue wave smashed into a seawall, swamping a pickup truck.
Starting point is 00:55:18 And in Santa Cruz, these children were nearly swept away by the gigantic swells. We've got high swells. We've got high swells. We've got waves coming in directions we're not used to them coming. Even the most seasoned swimmer and surfer, this is dangerous water. On Thursday, coastal flooding warnings were in effect for much of central California. While evacuation orders were issued in several communities in Santa Cruz and Marin counties. It's a pure state of panic, to be honest, as far as the community goes. while evacuation orders were issued in several communities in Santa Cruz and Marin counties. It's a pure state of panic, to be honest, as far as the community goes,
Starting point is 00:55:51 because you know there's plenty out there that are not prepared. Further south, lifeguards kept inexperienced swimmers out of the water, but many expert surfers took advantage of the rare opportunity to ride waves as high as a two-story building. Isn't this something that happens periodically in california i remember it happens all the time it happens at least once a year it happens up here it hasn't happened recently but they have that special surfing competition note out it's we're having a ridiculous waves come on out we're gonna have a competition surf's up dude now something i think is a little more rare which i have the clip of which is climate ridiculous waves. Come on out. We're going to have a competition. Surf's up, dude. Now, something I think is a little more rare, which I have the clip of, which is climate. The channel got flooded.
Starting point is 00:56:30 No, it's not the channel. It's not the channel. But OK. Yeah, it was because. No, no. I'll play your clip. A rare break in a key passage from Great Britain to Europe. Flooding has forced the closure of a rail tunnel between London and France, this after unprecedented flooding around the British capital. Eurostar, which operates trains from London to Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam, cancelled all of its services in and out of the city, leaving hundreds stranded in railway stations. More travel chaos is expected as Storm Garrett continues to batter the UK with high winds and heavy rain. Notice the UK gets battered, California gets pounded.
Starting point is 00:57:15 It wasn't the tunnel that's leaking, it's poor infrastructure in the UK that actually sprung a leak. Flooding in a tunnel under the River Thames has brought all Eurostar train services to a halt. That's disrupted the holiday travel plans of many people bound for London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Strong winds and heavy rain have battered the UK and forecast as a warning of more stormy weather ahead. Music for the masses stranded at London's St Pancras station. A flooded tunnel has brought Eurostar trains to a standstill and disrupted holiday plans. Many travelers are now scrambling to reach their destination as the clock ticks down to 2024. The chaos started when this undersea rail tunnel flooded in England, which is being hit by a spell of severe weather.
Starting point is 00:58:00 The rail operator says the flooding is unprecedented. Eurostar trains link London to mainland Europe. So it was the crappy infrastructure of the British tunnel. So you're telling me it's just a tunnel in England and not the channel per se. Yes, correct. Yeah. It's their infrastructure. But, you know, got to close the the channel and maybe it is leaking from that. They do have,
Starting point is 00:58:28 they have their subway system floods every so often too. Well, so does New York. I mean, all these things happen. You know what? Life is not perfect. It's not Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:58:36 When you got something underground under a bunch of water. Yeah. Yeah. Things happen. Not because of rising tides. Just back to Al Gore for a moment. He entered this, his original entrance into the climate scam was to set up a carbon credit trading market. What was the name of that guy who was doing it?
Starting point is 00:58:59 The first one. Yeah, he died, the guy who originally set that up with him. I forgot who that was. I think he was the finance guy he was necessary to make this thing work and so when he died and it wasn't gonna work anyway early on he was too he was like the adam curry of carbon you know like i always have all these great ideas and i'm 10 years too early and everyone else becomes a billionaire yeah that's it let me see who maurice something was maurice i think it was maurice maurice what was his name maurice mix a lot ccx ccx was the what was that thing anyway maybe the troll room knows maurice anyway but that's also coming around because I'm going to say I have my one classic clip of my own, which I'll take back to almost one year ago, January.
Starting point is 00:59:52 When there's not much of a classic, it's a classic light. When the Biden administration announced that they would be putting they would be calculating. It's the new asset class. If you can remember the asset class is. And in fact, I think you and Horowitz talked about on DH unplugged, DH unplugged every Tuesday live. Well, he's so nice to promote us all the time.
Starting point is 01:00:17 I feel bad. He promotes us all the time. Every show he does. It's called log rolling. Maurice Strong. It just came to me. No, thanks to you. T log rolling. Maurice Strong. It just came to me. No thanks to you, Troll Room. Maurice Strong was the guy's name.
Starting point is 01:00:30 So you guys are talking about the UK putting prostitution and cocaine on their balance sheet. Weren't you guys talking about that? Prostitution and cocaine? Yeah, just a couple of years back. They decided to put that onto the balance sheet saying oh that's part of our gdp because those are even i don't remember that but you don't remember it's something we would have talked about yeah well i thought i heard about it again on dh unplugged i know we talked about it i wonder if we have a clip of it um let me see you can well you know technically here we go yes well i mean if
Starting point is 01:01:09 you're going to put the drug trade on the balance sheet that's going to pump up your gdp by billions prostitution i don't know what the number is on that but i don't think it's as high i think you know i think i don't even know what the prostitution situation is anymore. It seems it's all online. But it's still it's still part of the GDP. Yeah, I would think so. Anyway, so the Biden administration decided, oh, we're going to put parts of the United States nature onto our balance sheet, which would be another great because Trump, he's a macro guy. He would love this. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:43 Yeah, we can just count that as a part of our GDP. It'll make my numbers look great. So central banks are also starting to understand nature has real value. Carbon, we already figured out. And carbon is moving very quickly into a system where it's going to be very close to a currency. Basically being able to take a ton of absorbed or sequestered carbon and being able to create a forward pricing curve with financial service architecture, documentation.
Starting point is 01:02:13 I just came out of a meeting this morning, how we're trying to accelerate that. To be quite honest, not to get very boring, but we're on financial topics and things, but there are going to be derivatives, and you need ISDA documentation if you want to trade a derivative in the marketplace. And all of this actually matters for nature as well.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I'm going to quickly hand off. But again, I want to talk about value one more time. I'm going to trade some shares of Yellowstone. Say what? I'm going to trade some shares of Yellowstone. And if you give me some shares of Yosemite and then Yellowstone, I'm going to get some futures. Hey, the UAE just bought a third of Zambia or whatever for carbon credits. This is exactly what they're talking about.
Starting point is 01:02:54 It's crazy. Because the southern part of the world has value far greater than large elements of the northern part and we started thinking about and putting prices on water on trees on biodiversity we find where does that sit i'm doing a lot of work out of asia and i say that my next door neighbor indonesia is the left lung of the world and obviously brazil is the right and africa absolutely critical and we need their natural capital as a system-based world more than we need that $66 billion we've got sitting in the basement of the Bank of England. So how do we, and I'm hoping this discussion today, at least from a central banker's point of view, on how do we start tokenizing? How do we start building systems that actually create not only the value, but transfer that value around the world? So this is what your No Agenda show does.
Starting point is 01:03:49 We had this one year ago. We talked about this. Then we saw it. COP 28. What did we see? We saw the UAE buying large swaths of Africa for carbon credits. And you heard something else in there. Biodiversity is worth money.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Well, let's give you a jingle from seven years ago we are ahead of the curve here it is wall street that was a lot older than that 2017 oh yeah so it's seven years old uh wall street journal from may 29th 2014 drugs prostitution add 10 billion pounds to the uk economy overall of how gdp is calculated to include contribution of illegal activity and they still they still suck they still can't make it work. And they put hookers and blow on there. That's pathetic. It's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Oh, we're going to tokenize it. Well, that sounds fantastic. Tokenize everything. And we were talking about the gas, no more gas homes, no more gas in new buildings. You talked about that on the last show. There's a clip. Last show is a clip. Yeah. Well, here's gas in new buildings. You talked about that on the last show. Is that a clip? Last show is a clip. Yeah, well, here's a follow-up.
Starting point is 01:05:07 So the state of Illinois is ringing in the new year with what else? New environmental regulations. On January 1st, the land of Lincoln will be the first state to require all new homes and apartment buildings to be equipped with electric vehicle charging stations as the, quote, right to charge movement. Right to charge. Currently, 10 states already have a right to charge policy in place, and a number are expected to grow as blue states look to jumpstart the Democrats' forced transition to EVs. Right to charge movement. Right to charge.
Starting point is 01:05:41 When did we not have the right to charge? It's a movement movement haven't you heard is there is there's some suppression going on that we need the right to charge i'm wondering i didn't look this up but i'm sure that this is some great industry is the charging station that has to which is expensive that has to be built into new homes? Is that going to be in the garage? Here it is. Right to, that's everywhere. Right to charge laws. Right to charge Plug in America. There's your group right there. Pluginamerica.org. Those guys. About. Is this in the garage? Yeah. Where you're not supposed to put your electric car anymore
Starting point is 01:06:24 because the insurance won't cover your house when it burns to the ground? Oh, man. I can't believe I didn't clip that. There was a great clip of this lady who got a loaner car, which, let me see, it was a Mercedes loaner car, and it exploded in her garage. It was, it was EV. Her whole house, second story of the house.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah, I think this is it. Let me see if I can bring this up. There was, here, this is it. You know, while you're drinking. A nightmare for a local family. They say an electric car sparked this fire that destroyed their home. And it wasn't even their car. It was a loaner.
Starting point is 01:07:02 this fire that destroyed their home. And it wasn't even their car. It was a loaner. The homeowner told us they had the loaner while their personal car was being serviced. This happened in Nocatee in St. Johns County. Take a look at the video again. Look at what's left behind. Almost nothing left of the car itself.
Starting point is 01:07:18 The whole house is burned down. And so she had a charger, she had an EV, and then the loaner EV she got exploded in the garage this is this is the and that's in mercedes these cars will not be insurable people will not it's not well they're gonna be yeah insurance is gonna be outrageous if they can't this has to stop i mean amazon has decided to pull its electric little trucks and they're going to move back to diesel yeah the rivians
Starting point is 01:07:52 yeah we have we had our insider tell us not the rivian they know they had those reg they have a bunch of electric uh different kinds of electric vehicles they're impractical different kinds of electric vehicles. They're impractical. Yeah. Yes, they are impractical. It's like a golf cart. It's like, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:11 it's like a golf cart that doesn't look stupid. You know, it's good for tooling around town. I could see myself driving. Well, yeah, if you're going to go to the store, you're not going to drive more than 30 or 40 miles. Those are fantastic. Yeah, I could see that. I could see me getting a little little golf cart for
Starting point is 01:08:25 frederick in fact i'm gonna get a golf cart you should i think you'd be looking there he goes that guy one of those a weirdo one of those with the rolls royce front end and i'll be waving to everybody like the queen hello hello put tina on the back yeah sure. So I have a couple more. I got another classic little segment here. Classic clips. Let's start with today's news. This is today. This is the new news.
Starting point is 01:08:51 This is from WNT. This is what's going on. Because of the New Year's, you know, we got to consider what's going to happen. We got to be careful. Heading into New Year's Eve, police across the country are on alert. From New York City to Washington, D.C. to Los Angeles. The NYPD deploying thousands of officers to watch over an expected crowd of one million in Times Square. ABC's Aaron Katursky here in New York.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Tonight, the nation's largest police force is expanding security measures for New Year's Eve amid what the NYPD calls a heightened and dynamic risk environment fueled by the Israel-Hamas war. We will be out here with our canines, our horsebacks, our drones, our helicopters, our boats. Police now bracing for the chance pro-Palestinian demonstrators could disrupt festivities in Times Square like they did during the Thanksgiving parade. Authorities will also be watching for potential acts of terrorism after last New Year's Eve when an alleged ISIS sympathizer attacked officers at a checkpoint with a large knife. Today, the FBI took us inside the room where they'll have eyes on the crowd. Anything in particular worry you ahead of Sunday? I would say no, nothing right now. Nothing's worrying us. It's just that we have to get it right every time. Outside New York, the FBI is eyeing a broad set of potential soft targets at other New Year's Eve celebrations, including fireworks barges in San Francisco and outlaw motorcycle gangs that have been warring in Las Vegas.
Starting point is 01:10:18 The FBI telling us today, Whit, there's nothing that should keep anyone away from Times Square on New Year's Eve. There are no specific threats. Do not be alarmed, citizen. No specific threats. Go, let's go. Hey, 10 years ago, classic 2014, New York City, New Year's celebration. You sprang it on me. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:10:38 National Guard in place, bomb-sniffing dogs, and radiation detectors in the crowd. Police will also be monitoring hundreds of cameras in Times Square from inside this command center. This as protests against police are expected across the country from New York to LA over what protesters are calling oppressive police tactics. Already in St. Louis, a group arrested after storming police headquarters. And back here in Times Square, the people here can't leave and come back, and no backpacks will be allowed anywhere near here.
Starting point is 01:11:12 Again, the concern is that more than a million people will be here tonight, Elizabeth. All right, Gio, thank you so much. We're going to turn now to news. Wait a minute. You're telling me this is like a package they do every year? Oh, well, let's go to 20. That was for 2014. Let's go to 2015. His name is
Starting point is 01:11:26 Emmanuel Lutchman. He's 25 years old. And what the FBI says he planned to do was to carry an attack at a restaurant in the Rochester area tonight, New Year's Eve. And he was in touch with and directed by, according to the FBI, an ISIS member overseas. His plot was to carry out this attack using pressure cooker bombs and knives to have a couple of people and kill them, Jim. The FBI really says, though, that this guy has got a long criminal history in New York, including for robbery and for mental health issues. And he plotted with a couple of FBIbi informants including one who's paid nineteen thousand dollars another paid seven thousand dollars for their work helping the fbi
Starting point is 01:12:11 with these cases he recorded a video yesterday uh pledging allegiance to isis before carrying out what he planned to carry out this attack today in rochester that's interesting that we never heard after the pressure cooker bomb in Boston. The only thing that happened is the Instapot gained great popularity. Instapot, you had one.
Starting point is 01:12:38 Of course, Instapot was the bomb. Oops, I'm sorry. Instapot, that became a thing. Oh, I need an Instapot. But it wasn't like people were worried that, oh, there's a lot of people buying up Instapots. They could be turning into bombs just like Boston. Isn't that interesting? While we're looking at the past, let's go to Belgium in 2014.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Overseas tonight, Belgium on alert. Threats of a possible terror attack forcing authorities to cancel New Year's Eve fireworks in Brussels. of a possible terror attack, forcing authorities to cancel New Year's Eve fireworks in Brussels. The decision today, following the arrest of two terror suspects accused of plotting to attack police, soldiers, and huge crowds
Starting point is 01:13:11 celebrating the holidays. Authorities saying the plan may have been inspired by ISIS. Now, if anybody remembers 2014, this is pre-Trump, pre, you know, this is right in the middle of Obama. They had canceled fireworks everywhere the seattle space needle didn't have um all around the country oh no we can't have fireworks because isis let's uh let's go to cnn uh yesterday in new york city
Starting point is 01:13:38 security always tight has been increased this. While officials stress there is no specific reporting regarding any threats, a joint threat assessment based on analysis from 10 law enforcement agencies warns the Israel-Hamas conflict has created a heightened threat environment. Therefore, the intelligence community remains concerned about lone offenders using online platforms to express threats of violence against Jewish, Muslim, and Arab communities, as well as committing simple, unsophisticated attacks that are difficult to detect in advance. reminds police that massive live televised events remain an attractive target for foreign terrorist organizations as well as domestic violent extremists. It's a threat stream that will be monitored minute to minute
Starting point is 01:14:34 leading up to midnight New Year's Eve in multiple command posts. From the NYPD's Joint Operations Center to its Intelligence Bureau to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force gathered in an operations center in lower Manhattan. We know what their tactics are. We're going to make some adjustments. So our tactics, no one's getting to that ball. I can put it to that way. Stay safe, citizens. Stay safe.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Don't worry. We're vigilant. Man, they're just freaking everybody out all day long. Don't fall for this this is horrible and i was saying these protests these protests which uh of course there will be protests of course it will be pro-palestine protests because we've had them the airports they're everywhere now they're they're even blocking highways in the Netherlands. By the way, it's not unique to America. Oh, yeah, the Netherlands.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Oh, yeah. They're blocking the A10 or A12 highway, which literally have a blockade where the ambulances have to get off the highway to get people to the hospital right there. And they're blocking it like morons. get people to the hospital right there and they're blocking it like morons in america this all comes from the critical media literally i mean the coalition for liberated ethnic studies and i have their website right here it's very very um graphic heavy and their affiliated organizations it's amazing how many five elements Elements SF, Abolitionist Teaching Network, Academia Cesar Chavez, Arab Resource and Organizing Center, BorderLinks, Brocada Filipino Men's Healing Collective, Community Responsive Education, Community Voices for Public Education, Education for Liberation Minnesota, Educators for Anti-Racism Inc., El Griot and Arrieto Project, Empowering Pacific Islander Communities, Exito, UC, Santa Barbara, Intercultural Development Research. It's on and on and on and on. Yeah, all from the same website designer and the same five people.
Starting point is 01:16:42 And here's a little information about this toolkit. The toolkit, I have a link in the show notes if you want to get your tools to use to get involved. Last month, the Coalition for Liberated Ethnic Studies shared a link to its critical media literacy rooted in ethnic studies, a curriculum
Starting point is 01:17:00 toolkit for Palestine. What kinds of lesson plans and resources are we seeing here? Well, a good way to think about this is if for people who have seen these holiday disruptions of people blocking the roads to get into JFK Airport or the airport in Los Angeles or the airport in Chicago, that's largely what this is. So in addition to this toolkit, you know, being about totally anti-American, totally anti-Israel, totally against Western values and, you know, the usual stuff we hear about the
Starting point is 01:17:31 oppressor versus oppressed, etc., it calls for action and the action that it calls for is what we were seeing in the streets with people blocking traffic. It also, you know, has petitions for students or staff to send to elected officials. And these are petitions that accuse Israel of genocide. So again, the language, it's very extreme. And if you can imagine sort of the most extreme protests and demonstrations that people have been seeing just across the country, the language is largely the same as what we're seeing in this toolkit. Yeah, so it's just in the classrooms. The teachers hand it out. We got a note from one of our teachers this morning
Starting point is 01:18:17 who says the teachers are no good. They've got Che Guevara posters. Yeah, I got that note. They've got Che Guevara posters. Yeah, I got that note. They've got... Let you read a little bit of it. Oh, okay. Hold on a second. And of course, it's anonymous.
Starting point is 01:18:36 Let me see here. Yes. Oops. Boots on the ground. I got it here. I got it here. Anonymous. Students are way behind, but more interesting to me is the fact that the vast majority of teachers are utterly un to look up to. Many, not all, have trans flags in their rooms or on their classroom doors. Many of them have no control over the classrooms.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Students in my room behave much better than most any other room in the school. I attribute that to the high standards both for me and my students, which most teachers don't have for themselves or their students. Clear rules, expectations, a genuine connection. I'm often told that I'm their favorite well of course i i i told this uh this fine teacher i said get into the homeschooling movement you know all those parents can leave that take their kids out of that school you shouldn't have to suffer this idiocy um and and i think all the schools are that way. Yeah, I think, well, not the homeschools.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Well, no, homeschools are home. Yeah, they're homeschools. Yeah, well, that's different. But this stuff, this is so crazy. And this flows right into the magical AI. And I love people who are telling me that I'm so wrong. You better learn, Curry. Otherwise, it'll be too late for you.
Starting point is 01:20:07 Too late. AI is going to eat me. So I went into chat GPT. Now, I don't pay for anything. So I get the 3.5. I don't get the 4. But I said, tell me a good Jewish joke. And chat GPT said, here's one.
Starting point is 01:20:28 Why did the rabbi bring a ladder to the party? Because he heard the drinks were on the house. Hope that brings a smile. Then I said, tell me a good Muslim joke. I cannot fulfill this request. I strive to be culturally sensitive and respectful of all religions and beliefs. Muslims, like any other group, except Jews should be stereotyped,
Starting point is 01:20:48 should not be stereotyped or mocked jokes that target a particular religion or group could be hurtful and pre perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Instead, I focus on humor that brings people together and celebrate shared human experience. If you need assistance or have a different topic you'd like to explore, feel free to ask. So it can't just say, but this, what you i'm in i'm not in agreement generally with your take on this
Starting point is 01:21:12 whole thing but i'm in total agreement with your take on the ridiculous verbosity which is a good word for this good word verbosity yes that the this system has there's no reason to go on and on and on and on and on and on and on that's the giveaway nobody talks like that what do you mean the what is the giveaway what do you mean by the giveaway well you said it yourself when you did something for uh tina and she says you didn't do this this was ai oh it worked because it was it went on and on and on and on and on about bull crap that's got nothing to do with anything. And it's what it does. The setup is too long.
Starting point is 01:21:53 The sort of conclusion that it got on that one is too long. It's yak, yak, yak. No one does that. It's not the way people write. No one does that. It's not the way people write. But I think you also agree with me that this is a dud, and we're just waiting for the pivot, which may take another year.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Then, of course, all the money is in the compute, in the cloud. That's what Sam Altman is doing. He's going to start a chip company, and that's where it's all going to come from. Well, that'll be the dud if anybody thinks you can just go start a chip company unless you're from a chip company and you've been there a long time and you're stealing stuff that that's what happened with uh intel it was the two guys were uh royce and moore were uh hot shots at Fairchild. And they went off and they took the idea of an integrated electronics as opposed to just transistors. And they went off and did their own thing.
Starting point is 01:22:54 And they were going to get sued by Fairchild. But then this is the way the story is told to me. Fairchild was going to sue the two of them for starting up a new company, developing microprocessors and then shockley which fairchild turns out to be started the same way intel was started guys left shockley semiconductors and started fairchild and shockley said hey you sue them i'm suing you and that was the end of it and uh nobody's been sued since this's at AMD. Well, the problem is there's a culture, and I don't think we've really picked up on this just a little bit with the effect of altruism, but there's a culture in Silicon Valley where
Starting point is 01:23:37 these types of people, Sam Bankman Freed, Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Mark Andreessen, all fred sam altman elon musk um uh mark andreason all these people have these wild you know fantasies a lot of them are microdosing ketamine and other other hallucinogenic drugs and they go into venture capitalists with a with a powerpoint and you just put in all these terms and words, and hey, we're going to change the future, and you need to be part of it. And venture capital investors who are idiots, you and I have dealt with them. They're just me too, guys.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Remember Juiced? Remember Juiced? We were told, oh, podcasting is no good. You got to be like Juiced. Come on, you remember Juiced? J-O-S-T? I remember Juiced. J-O-S-T, I believe is spelled. Oh, you got to be like juiced come on you remember juiced j-o-s-t i believe it's oh you got to be more like that they said it to client that was the biggest dud ever
Starting point is 01:24:31 right because and and we could mock listen we we call a lot of things right um i was using amazon's alexa way before anyone was even looking at it and i said if this had apple's logo on it people be losing their crap. And we used it, and it was using it for three years before it caught on. And then we said, this is going to end, and we were right about that. Mastodon, very early on the Mastodon train.
Starting point is 01:24:54 Oh, podcasting. You know, so when people say, you don't know what you're talking about. You better hear what you have. I'm running 11 models at home. It's no good. The crap hallucinates. I like your voice, the guy
Starting point is 01:25:05 that's always bitching. I don't know who that guy is, but he sure hates you. He's on no agenda social. We mocked virtual reality, augmented reality, Google Glass, Glass Holes. Oh, that was a loser from the get-go. The blockchain
Starting point is 01:25:21 bull crap. We called out FTX and SBF as bullcrap. And we've been right about this. But now we've gotten to this AI thing. And this is almost concerning. The people running these companies who are getting a lot of money, and of course, subsequently go sit in Washington, D.C., the smartest people in the world, who knows what they're coming up with? But policy is being written. This is money.
Starting point is 01:25:49 There's so much money. D.C. people are all horny about it. And then we come to this article that I think you also received called TESCREAL. Did you see this? I did get that, yeah. So I have... Yeah, you should read that one. That's actually kind of interesting well i have a couple of clips regarding this test real t yeah explain it
Starting point is 01:26:11 first explain the whole thing so test real is what they call a bundle of accurate a bundle of terms for the silicon valley people like bankman freed like elon musk like sam altman a lot a lot of it has to do with you know kind of like queer quasi-gay sex cultish type people and i think you can put elon musk in all of those categories but it's an acronym for transhumanism extropian, singulitarianism, cosmism, rationalism, and effective altruism, and then long-termism. And all these people, it's really, they're all in on kind of a Jules Verne, Wernher von Braun, like, you know, we can all live forever. It's really their fear of death, let's put it that way. They're all microdosing. They're afraid of dying, but they figured out we're so smart. We can get billions of dollars and we can save ourselves from dying by, you know, uploading our brains into the cloud.
Starting point is 01:27:13 Yeah. But this is really, but it's true. It's true. So there's been a couple of people who have jumped out of this and say, well, these guys are nuts and crazy and I want no part of it. And it's not for the reasons that you and I think they're nuts and crazy. This Emil P. Torres, please note, he has to have a P in his name.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Emil P. Torres. I have to do the same to my C. Yeah, but he's not doing it because there's another Taurus out there. Emil P. Torres, he is blowing the whistle on this crazy group because he says that they're threatening AI researchers. They want to kill AI researchers. Everything about these, all these people are crazy. So anyone who wants to, they're into accelerationism. We have to,
Starting point is 01:28:02 it has to go fast. Don't worry about it. This is what open AI was supposed to stop with all these ideologues. They kicked all of them out. Remember that? You're on a roll. Remember the lady who was from Australia, you know, like 20 years old and, uh, yes, we have to be careful. AI. No, no, they just, they just wanted to accelerate and they can do any, anything they need to. and the money people are all in. Here's an explanation of the acronym. Open AI has a huge amount of money from Microsoft, and then Amazon just gave Anthropic $4 billion, if I remember correctly.
Starting point is 01:28:37 So if you look at the origins of these companies, they all go back directly to a test rule movement. There's a sense in which big tech is not like other domains where there's lots of money and really powerful companies like fossil fuel companies. You're going to have to live with it because this guy is one of them. This is how they all talk. This is how Altman talks.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Bankman freed. They all talk like this. So we just have to live. And as you know, from my, uh, clippage, uh,
Starting point is 01:29:12 you can make a Musk talks like that too. Yes. What is, you know, if you ask the question, what is motivating these fossil fuel companies to do? Stop. Not,
Starting point is 01:29:22 you mentioned it's a milieu. Yeah. Oh, it's a big milieu. And Andreessen, Mark Andreessen, P. Marka, he has this, I don't know if it's silly, he had it in his Twitter profile. Test realism forever. I mean, and he's a money guy. They all are all in on this.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Yeah, that's a mistake. The question, what is motivating these fossil fuel companies to do what they're doing? It's profit. That provides a comprehensive and complete explanatory picture of what's going on. With big tech, that's only half of
Starting point is 01:29:58 the picture. The other half of the explanation concerns the tech utopian vision, which is at the very heart of the test girl bundle uh do me a favor for the audience and just spell out test creel uh what he stands for just for a second yeah it's t-e-s-c-r i don't have to do that i just told you what that is let's go into the uh so it's really they want to build perfect humans. What does that remind you of?
Starting point is 01:30:30 Now, you can build the perfect, or let's put the perfect human race. It reminds me of Hitler. You know, I mentioned the test girl movement goes back, you know, basically 30 years to the late 1980s, early 1990s. But transhumanism, again, the backbone of this bundle of ideologies, that traces its genealogy back to the early 20th century. So, you know, in the work of like
Starting point is 01:30:56 Julian Huxley, J.B.S. Haldane, J.D. Bernal, there are a bunch of others. Do you know any of those authors? Any of them? Yeah, most of them. Oh, what any of those authors? Any of them? Yeah, most of them. Oh, what are they? Are they nut jobs? Well, one of them was Huxley,
Starting point is 01:31:09 I think he mentioned. No, he didn't say Aldous, Adolphus Huxley. No, no, he's a different Huxley. Well, play those names again. You know, in the work of like Julian Huxley. Joanne Huxley. Oh, Julian, Julian Huxley.
Starting point is 01:31:21 He's famous, very famous. Famous for what? What kind of stuff? He was a transhumanist ahead of his time. He was, I think, the brother of Algis. The Huxleys are all related. Oh, by the way, Jared Lanier, another one of these guys. You know, weird, weird sexual, like, you know, weird gayish type vibe.
Starting point is 01:31:41 Jared Lanier is an interesting character. I do know him. He is, he has dread character. I do know him. He is... He has dreads. Yes, he does. And he's kind of a... Let's say stocky. He's a stocky...
Starting point is 01:31:55 I'll just summarize. Jared Lanier is a stocky guy who has dreads. They're long and he never showers. He's the father of virtual reality, John. People like Molly Wood... He's promoted this. People like Molly Wood
Starting point is 01:32:12 fawn. Oh, I got to interview Jared Lanier. I've had good chats with him. Yeah, but he also talks difficult. JBS Holding. JBS Holding? Any idea? No, no. J. bernal there are a bunch of others many of whom were very prominent and important eugenicists of the you know this first wave uh
Starting point is 01:32:36 eugenics movement so julian huxley for example and he's the guy who popularized the term transhumanism uh in the 1950s 1960s and you know so after the atrocities of the nazis during the 1930s 1940s even after that um eugenics persisted so there's continuity across the 20th century with eugenics movement which a lot of people don't realize and transhumanism is basically eugenics on steroids with respect to its goal. Because the old eugenicists, they wanted to just perfect the human stock and also to prevent humanity from degenerating, which is a big concern among many people. In fact, one of the theories of how racial groups evolved involved this notion of degeneration. notion of degeneration. And a lot of the worst aspects of the
Starting point is 01:33:25 20th century eugenics movement, I think, are still kind of all over the place in the testicle movement. But transhumanism itself, that is a version of eugenics. If you ask a philosopher, it's uncontroversial. And by the way, that's perfect with our U.S. history. Hitler
Starting point is 01:33:41 got the eugenics idea from us. Yeah? No no we're always into that stuff yeah we had you know uh prettiest baby contest at fairs and everything is not you can't miss miss america and then you know we were we were sterilizing black people hey you know we can't we can't have wasn't there even a Supreme Court justice who at one point said, three generations of this is enough? I don't remember, but it wouldn't surprise me. And then, of course, Hitler started writing fan letters to these people, the American Eugenic Society.
Starting point is 01:34:17 And then he was like, I'm going to gas some Jews. And the American Eugenics went, oh, oh, dude, no, no, dude, we're going to be real quiet. I don't think they were saying, oh, dude, no, no, dude, we're going to be real quiet. I don't think they were saying, oh, dude, but yeah, to that effect. We're going to be quiet for a little bit here. Stop it. Ixnay on the Asingay, okay? We can't do that.
Starting point is 01:34:35 But it's still the culture and it's now moved to Silicon Valley. And they're also, I love this guy, they're also colonialists because, you know, space. I mean, one of the ways that these ideologies and this movement has impacted the world. Can you stop it one second? Of course. I have to say that listening to this guy's pattern of speech, let's put it that way, really makes me cringe. Because you're right. This is a milieu type of speak it's it's a it's a funny kind of a chatter that people should know if you ever hear
Starting point is 01:35:13 somebody that talks like this and there's plenty of them in the valley kick them in the shins these are are people that have uh issues yes this guy probably doesn't, I don't know if he, he may be a virgin. There's a large part of that. Remember we had a note from one of our producers who was in this movement early on in Austin. There's a big big contingent in Austin. And he says ultimately it was really just weird
Starting point is 01:35:38 sex stuff. If you didn't have the billions of dollars, and it's all about, you know, the long-termism is it's okay to kill people now as long as the future humans can live we only really need this is literally the the literature we only really need 40 000 people to survive a nuclear holocaust on earth to create the few the humans of the future this is the kind of stuff this is i don't want to go off no please you have the history let's take let's take these guys and try to summarize what their issues are they're very
Starting point is 01:36:17 uncomfortable around women yeah and this nervous pattern this this type of speak that they've developed. Chicks don't dig that, by the way. I would hope not. I mean, there are chicks like this too, but generally speaking, they don't find each other. So I'm guessing there's a contingency of, it sounds like it's a pattern of, the pattern of speech is a pattern of a frustrated male.
Starting point is 01:36:48 Possibly. Yes. Yes. And this is this is this is bad. We don't need males like this with a billion dollars with a billion dollars from venture capital. That's exactly the point. I'm going to summarize. This is why prostitution should be legalized in California. I continue. Back to what I was saying initially,
Starting point is 01:37:17 which is that a complete explanatory picture of why these companies like OpenAI and DeepMind and so on are explicitly trying to build artificial general intelligence is because they see AGI as the shortest as the shortest route from where we are right now to a techno-utopian world in which we completely re-engineer
Starting point is 01:37:38 humanity, we colonize space and ultimately we subjugate nature, we exploit the vast resources of the cosmos which which people in the Tesco movement refer to as our cosmic endowment of negentropy or negative entropy, usable energy. Yeah, again, there are all of these movements and ideas of the past, which were really toxic and caused tremendous harm. And pretty much everybody acknowledges that now. And then there's this sense that, well, we've moved on. But we haven't.
Starting point is 01:38:11 You know, eugenics is still alive and well in the test girl movement. And this notion of manifest destiny that continues, you know, the colonial mindset that persists as well in this notion that we need to go out, colonize space. And, you know, people say, well, you know, we're going to go to exoplanets where there aren't life forms. And so it's fundamentally different. All right. So now here's my summary. And I have one more clip and a shorty. These are people who have no faith, which is okay. You don't have to believe in Jesus or God or anything like that or Allah,
Starting point is 01:38:48 whatever you want. And they are desperate because everybody needs something. You can believe in climate change, whatever your religion is. And they're so desperate that they want to create a digital God. And it's either, well well here's the explanation in fact a lot of the people who are working on uh agi you know particularly over the past over the past uh two decades so people who've been there from the beginning um they would argue that it's not just about the sort of grand moral aim of maximizing value within the accessible universe.
Starting point is 01:39:26 But there is a self-interested reason for building artificial general intelligence as soon as possible. If we build it in a way that is controllable and its creation occurs within our lifetimes, then we live forever.
Starting point is 01:39:44 Maybe there are ways to upload our minds that don't involve AGI. That's possible as well. Maybe, you know, they're different routes. Maybe we develop advanced nanotechnology and we inject some nanobots into our bloodstream. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and it scans the microstructure of our brain
Starting point is 01:39:59 and transfers that via Wi-Fi, basically, to a computer. So that's one possibility. John, I think that these people are real. We had the cryogenics movement. These guys, they're afraid to die. They're afraid of their own mortality. Yeah, if you're a virgin. But also, maybe we just create this artificial god,
Starting point is 01:40:20 this superhumanly, quote-unquote, intelligent system. And since everything is an engineering problem uh according to these individuals and we just delegated this task of curing the problem of aging and then you know maybe about five or ten seconds after we say could you cure aging the super intelligent machine goes okay i figured out how here's how i'll develop the therapies right away so if we get agi within our lifetime this is what they think then we get to live forever so there's a huge reason to yes you want to you want to you know be cautious and uh try to safeguard against the agGI causing an existential catastrophe. But also, you don't want to just put the brakes on indefinitely.
Starting point is 01:41:13 I mean, there's a small group of doomers who want to do that. But most people in this field would reject that position because they want to live forever. And this is, when I heard this, I'm like, oh, light bulbs start going off. So it's a bunch of soy boys growing up with no faith in their life. They're, of course, most humans are afraid of death. But there's an end. I'm going to die. I'm afraid of that.
Starting point is 01:41:38 What am I going to do? And their solution is, well, I'll create a digital God through AGI, the big promise, Well, I'll create a digital God through AGI, the big promise, which none of these demos, which I'm seeing, which do rap songs and people with six fingers and flowery language. It's demos. There's no AGI anywhere, but we want a digital God. And who's leading that pack? All of the people have been uploading articles, the best quotes from different articles, videos, 2X, all of that can be trained on. And effectively, now you have this remarkable repository. And I wonder how you think about that, again, and how you think the creative community and those who were the original ip owners should think about that i don't know except to say that by the time these lawsuits are decided we'll have digital god so
Starting point is 01:42:33 i asked digital god at that point there he is eugenicist number one elon musk oh don't we'll have a digital god he's all in on this he's got the neural link for your brain oh yeah i'm gonna help people who are blind i'm gonna help them see bullcrap he's got the yeah it's got the most he's like he reminds me of trump big talker right but the but the belief and then all everyone who's who's going oh no this this is no. This is not going to work. You're assuming that he's sincere. Yes, I am.
Starting point is 01:43:08 I think he's very sincere. I really do. I don't. I think he's... I'm completely oblivious to that. I have no confidence in his sincerity. I think he's full of shit, and he does it on purpose. Okay, then would you...
Starting point is 01:43:24 Let me ask you this. Do you think that what he has done for the EV industry is positive for the world? By creating electric vehicles and an entire movement of things that blow up in your garage? You're asking me this question because he's got he had we had a clip on the show already where he says he's done more for the environmental movement than any single person by developing this no i think he's totally insincere about that what do you think he's doing he did it for the money he saw all he does is he sees government money it's all government money and subsidies that made that company what it is.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Yes, yes. And he also knows how to exploit personality. So he had a bunch of people, you know, everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to everybody else. When he rolled out the first little Tesla, that little sports car that was, you know, mediocre. And it was actually, you know, just a, what is a Lotus with an electric engine. And he's a P.T. Barnum. As far as I'm concerned, I don't see anything other than that. Well, there's a lot of people and a lot of money
Starting point is 01:44:33 flowing towards all of his grand ideas and the space exploration. We're going to colonize Mars. It's all these things. Yeah, he wants to move there. He wants to be the first person on Mars. He'll die there. Do you remember that?
Starting point is 01:44:45 Yes, I'll just take him at his word. I think he's one of these. I think he's weird. I think he is a eugenicist. He wants perfect people. He wants everyone to be perfect. I think he's deathly afraid of dying. Yeah, I think he's one of them.
Starting point is 01:44:59 I really do. Okay. I think it's a reasonable position. Neither one of us have sat down at dinner with him, so we don't know him. And so we have to speculate. Yes. And that's as far as we can go with it. And, you know, people have to note that that's the situation.
Starting point is 01:45:21 Just a... I'm speculating about one thing. I have the positive attitude. I have the Christian attitude and you have the satanic attitude. Yes. No. Condemning the poor man who don't even know. Wow. Wow. No, I have the Christian attitude because he is the antichrist. Do not worship false idols. Wow. I can't believe you said that. It idols. Wow, I can't believe you said that. It was funny, though. I can't believe you said that. The comment is it's funny.
Starting point is 01:45:53 There's this whole thread from Emmett Shear. He was the guy who was the CEO of OpenAI for about 12 hours. Yeah. And so he's on X, of course, and he starts off by saying something completely insane. He was talking about...
Starting point is 01:46:19 Hold on a second, I have it here. He posts this thing. These guys are also full-on Marxists. I'm not against inheritance for children with wealthy parents. I'm in favor of inheritance for every child. That might take spreading out, say, half the inheritance money each year more equitably, which seems fine. If the United States took 50% of the total inheritance and spread it out evenly among all people turning say 25 that would be 61 000 for each person far more equitable start at life for everyone so these guys are insane that's that's pure uh distribution redistribution of
Starting point is 01:47:00 wealth marxist theory yes yeah i don't know how these guys all of a sudden, this whole group became communists. Especially with all the money that they got using the capitalist system. Some buy-ass people, you know, a lot of these guys are guilty. They know they didn't do enough to become billionaires. They didn't do jack. They got
Starting point is 01:47:19 lucky. They're in the right place at the right time. They're all micro-dosing hallucinogenics. And they're doing that. I think that's a problem. That has something to do with it. So. Huh. Well, let's change subjects and go to a three by three.
Starting point is 01:47:36 Oh, about time. And now it's time for three by three. Experiment by JCB. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending story about J.C.D. That's right, J.C.D. brings them all together. The three networks, do they have the same script? Are they in collusion?
Starting point is 01:47:53 Did the White House give them all the information? Is it the CIA? We'll find out as John gives us a three-by-three. Well, here we go. Now, this time it's about Nimrod. Haley. Nimrod Haley. Nimrod Haley. They all seem to be preoccupied with her gaffe or her inability to as predict something at a public forum. Who cares personally about the civil war as if she's as if this makes any difference in the world.
Starting point is 01:48:19 But they got to do a big report on it. And here we go again with NBC and ABC with the exact same report. big report on it and here we go again with nbc and abc with the exact same report starting with nbc nbc republican presidential candidate nikki haley in cleanup mode after leaving out slavery as a root cause of the civil war in new hampshire on wednesday what do you want me to say about slavery no um you can answer my question. Thank you. Next question. Haley spent Thursday attempting to explain what she meant. Wow. Hold on a second. They've now, they've taken everything out.
Starting point is 01:48:57 And it goes from the guy saying, what can you say about the civil war? I expect you to say something about slavery. And she goes to the next question. She talked for five minutes. Yeah, we played the real clip, I think, last show. On Wednesday. What do you want me to say about slavery? No, you can answer my question. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:49:12 Next question. Wow. Haley spent Thursday attempting to explain what she meant. Of course the Civil War was about slavery. And make clear the role slavery played in American history. We know the Civil War was about slavery, but it was also more than that. It was about the freedoms of every individual. Her opponents seized on the comments.
Starting point is 01:49:36 President Joe Biden responding, quote, it was about slavery. And GOP rival Ron DeSantis arguing she isn't ready for the big stage. The minute that she faces any type of scrutiny, she tends to cave. As governor of South Carolina, Haley pushed for the removal of a Confederate flag on display on the Capitol grounds after a mass shooting at a black church in Charleston, carried out by a white supremacist. It's time to move the flag from the Capitol grounds. She made that decision after intense pressure by African-American leaders in the wake of the massacre. The firestorm comes as Haley is gaining ground on the clear frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:50:14 Trump has routinely used divisive rhetoric and recently made racist comments about migrants and minority groups. They're poisoning the blood of our country. That's what they've done. But Trump's controversial words have done little to change the trajectory of the race. And these comments come at a make or break moment for the Haley campaign, with polls showing Donald Trump leading by more than double digits and just 18 days to go before Iowa and less than 30 days before New Hampshire. Wow, that's great. What a bunch of bullcrap. Okay, well, let's go in that very similar report, almost the exact same opening, almost the exact same opening on ABC. Tonight, Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley under fire for failing to identify slavery as the cause of the Civil War at a New Hampshire town hall. What was the cause of the United States Civil War?
Starting point is 01:51:10 Well, don't come with an easy question or anything. I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run, the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. It's astonishing to me that you answer that question without mentioning the word slavery. What do you want me to say about slavery? Today, the former South Carolina governor, who removed the Confederate flag from the state capital after nine black churchgoers were killed in a mass shooting, trying to clarify. Of course the Civil War was about slavery.
Starting point is 01:51:41 But the backlash was immediate. President Biden responding, it was about slavery. But the backlash was immediate. President Biden responding, it was about slavery. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who's also faced fierce criticism for suggesting African-Americans benefited from. You could almost run those that that bit right there. You could almost run them together. We'd say the same thing at the same time. I know it's amazing. Slavery pouncing on Haley's remarks. Not that difficult to identify and acknowledge the role slavery played in the Civil War, and yet that seemed to be something that was really difficult, and I don't even know what she was saying. Haley's GOP rivals quick to attack as she gains ground in polls in the critical primary state of New Hampshire. Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie launching a new seven figure ad campaign in the Granite State as he trails behind, saying it's he, not Haley, who can
Starting point is 01:52:30 beat Trump. Some people say I should drop out of this race. Really? I'm the only one saying Donald Trump is a liar. With just 18 days until the first votes are cast in Iowa, former President Trump is still the clear front runner for the Republican nomination tonight president biden's campaign is attacking the entire gop field accusing them of pandering to the most extreme fringe of their base wow they brought christian who says trump's a liar except when he says he's going to be a dictator on day for day one then he's not a liar i'm using your material here yeah no that's exactly what i say is he a liar isn't he if he says he's going to be a dictator is he a liar yeah yeah these guys are bullshit okay so we go to cbs which which again scrambles
Starting point is 01:53:17 the story a little better than everybody else i have to say doing these now uh thanks to steve uh i have come to the conclusion that of all the three networks cbs is the best scott good evening major good evening to you trying to spring it upset nicki haley has been fighting for months to win the spotlight but tonight she's beneath a glaring one and taking the heat nicki Haley, who's been surging in the polls in New Hampshire, now faces a rising wave of criticism over this response to a question at a town hall event. What was the cause of the United States Civil War? I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War
Starting point is 01:53:57 was basically how government was going to run. The freedoms and what people could and couldn't do. Wow, they cut her some slack on that one. They cut out the whole, why do you ask me an easy one? That's interesting. When asked why she'd be the plus for her. Slavery, Haley responded. What do you want me to say about slavery?
Starting point is 01:54:16 The former South Carolina governor was blasted by both parties. President Biden posted it was about slavery. And Haley drew similar criticisms from her GOP opponents, Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. This is not a candidate that's ready for primetime. On the radio today. I mean, of course, the Civil War was about slavery. And back on the stump, Haley tried to clear up her answer. We know that that's unquestioned, always the case. We know that. That's unquestioned,
Starting point is 01:54:46 always the case. We know the Civil War was about slavery. But again appeared to equivocate. Let's not forget what came out of that, which is government's role, individual liberties. And she criticized the voter
Starting point is 01:55:01 who'd asked the original question as a plant of the Democrats. The fact that Nikki Haley has had such a stumble on an easy question And she criticized the voter who'd asked the original question as a plant of the Democrats. The fact that Nikki Haley has had such a stumble on an easy question, you know, is dismaying to those who would like to see her continue to climb in the polls. Haley today touted her decision to remove the Confederate flag from South Carolina's Capitol in 2015 after the mass shooting at an historically black church in Charleston. Her critics today resurface quotes Haley gave in 2010 in which she defended the flag as a symbol of heritage. ...and how this is not something that is racist. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 01:55:37 So she's so dumb that she then goes, but I took the Confederate flag down, alienating a lot of people. She's so dumb is the key operative word. This reminds me of something. The Dean Scream, this is Haley's Comment. Haley's Comment. Ooh, I get it. Haley's Comment.
Starting point is 01:56:05 Do you mind if I just try something here for a second? Hold on. Haley's comment. Ooh, I get it. Haley's comment. Do you mind if I just try something here for a second? Hold on. I want to try something with the ABC and NBC. Hold on, let me see. What do you want me to say about slavery? Today, the former South Carolina governor, who removed the Confederate flag from the state capitol after nine black churchgoers were killed in a mass shooting, is trying to clarify. Of course the Civil War was about slavery. But the backlash was immediate. President Biden responding.
Starting point is 01:56:30 Okay, President Biden, let's see. And how about this one? Of course the Civil War was about slavery. And make clear the role slavery played in American history. We know the Civil War. But it was also more than that. It was about the freedom is on the comments
Starting point is 01:56:47 president joe okay hold on i don't know what you're up to i'm gonna play him at the same time pretty close yeah it's getting there. Pretty close. Pretty close. Wow. Haley's comment. She's done. Toast.
Starting point is 01:57:11 Haley's comment. You like that, huh? Yeah, it's just cute. The Dean scream and Haley's comment. What a dope. And then, oh, but I removed the Confederate flag. Dope, dope, dope. Yeah, I mean, she knuckles under.
Starting point is 01:57:26 Yeah. She knuckles under. I want to feel bad for her, but it's hard. Well, she's unpleasant. Yeah. And she's a warmonger. We know that from her performance at the various debates. So we don't need another.
Starting point is 01:57:45 She's basically a Democrat. Even when she was working, she worked for Trump as the UN ambassador. And when she quit that job, then she turned on him like everybody else. Trump picks all these people that stab him in the back after they leave.
Starting point is 01:58:08 You know, if you don't like working for the guy, quit and just shut up. You know, I mean, I don't know what I just don't get. I don't get the whole have to stab Trump in the back thing without real any real explanation. Well, he's a he's a bad guy. He's a he's a cro guy. He's a crook. There's never, he's an insurrectionist. The whole thing baffles me. He might not be likable as a boss.
Starting point is 01:58:36 Let's move to Israel Hamas, because you wrote something in the newsletter, which I thought was really good. Wait a minute. Let me say that like Professor Scott Galloway. That was really smart what you wrote. So smart. You're such a smart man. Before we do that, I have a Scott Galloway clip I want to interject.
Starting point is 01:58:56 Oh no. I don't even have one. I don't know that this hasn't been rigged. This was sent to me by one of our top men producers yeah um top men and i don't know if this was rigged if it was put together by ai or whatever but i believe it to be true and this guy you know i never had much to think about him until you started playing these clips but when you i hear this condescending a-hole say the following thing,
Starting point is 01:59:27 it really is galling. So the reason I have an iPhone, I think we all have iPhones because we want to communicate our worth as a mate. If you have an Android phone, you're kind of signaling to the rest of the world that life hasn't panned out the way you'd hoped, that if you had been just a little bit more successful, you'd have an iOS, right? Seriously he said that i've heard it i remember this episode that's exactly what he says that's unbelievable no no it's not yeah it's the award-winning tech podcast john you should know better so in the newsletter, I really like this. You had a conclusion about the so-called Houthi militia attacks in the Red Sea.
Starting point is 02:00:15 Yeah. Would you care to share that with the group? Yeah, this has been expressed on some various obscure newsletters, and other people have kind of suggested it. I had added a couple of my own thoughts to it, because it's always been baffling to me why we haven't done anything about these Houthi attacks, because we know we have satellites in the air. It's not cloud cover.
Starting point is 02:00:37 We know exactly where they're coming from. All we need to do is send an F-16 over there and blow up these two or three sites. There's nothing we haven't done. We have cruise missiles that could do it. It's not a big deal, but we don't. And so it turns out, at least according to the scuttlebutt, that Israel has been trying to pressure Egypt into taking Palestinian refugees. Just take them. Nobody wants to take these people. I don't know why they're so offensive, but nobody, no Arab nations want to take them. And Israel's been trying to put the screws to Egypt to get them, take them, take them, take them. So since they're not taking them yet, Israel made a deal that we're going to cut off traffic through the Suez Canal, which is going to cost Egypt six billion.
Starting point is 02:01:27 I had to do a little research to get these numbers. They cost about $300,000 to get a ship through. If you have a big ship, it's going to cost you $300,000 to go through the canal. It's good money. But you'll save about a million in fuel going the other way around Africa. going the other way around Africa. So, and it turns out to be about 6 billion total or more to the bottom line of Egypt's GDP. So the idea is the Americans are just letting these things,
Starting point is 02:01:56 these shots come over. That's why we're not firing back or doing anything about it, even though we don't mind killing Iraqis, or we don't mind killing, you know, being Syria with five bases. None of that bothers us. But there's, oh, we can't do anything this time. Whatever theory that amounts, oh, we can't, I don't know why we can't, but we can't. So that explains it. We're saying, we're in league with Israel saying, okay, we're going to let these missiles keep coming in. We'll shoot the ones that are aiming at you. We'll shoot them down. It's good practice for us,
Starting point is 02:02:26 but we're going to not do anything about it until there's a deal made and Egypt says, okay, we'll take the Palestinians, let the ships go through, will you? So I have found this video of the Houthi militias, which I still...
Starting point is 02:02:44 Your favorite. Still doesn't look real to me. And it's purely based upon how this helicopter lands. I mean, all of it looks, it's, it's shot to look like video game footage, regardless. That's just the new thing, you know, with, with a camera on the, on the, on the tail boom of the helicopter as it's landing, with the GoPros mounted, and it's all first person. You see the guns. It's like there's a shot of one of these militias down in the hold, and it's completely empty, by the way, and he's holding up his gun, talking on a walkie-talkie.
Starting point is 02:03:20 It looks just like Call of Duty. I mean, even the motions are kind of herky-jerky so it could be a combination of it but this footage was already shown in 2022 so it certainly wasn't from a recent attack in the red sea so that much we know is bullcrap but it was played around the world as oh look what's happening i think you nailed it with this, you know, and it's not just, it's not just they want, they want all of the Palestine,
Starting point is 02:03:50 all of Palestine go to Egypt. They want it all out. All out. Recently, I think they've made this thing get out. Here, here's, this is a clip from, where is this from?
Starting point is 02:04:02 France 24. Yeah, well. The Philadelphia corridor that goes along between the Gaza Strip and Egypt is considered to be a very strategic location since this is where we have the Rafah
Starting point is 02:04:17 crossing. The Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt is the only connection between the Gaza Strip and the rest of the Arab world. Now, Israel believes that under this area of the Philadelphia area, we believe in Israel that underneath there are tunnels. These are tunnels, according to which Israeli military sources say, ammunition and a lot of the long-range missiles have been coming in from Egypt into the Gaza Strip. And therefore, it's important for Israel to have this kind of control and to destroy them. I can tell you at the same time, the Egyptians, they have been denying this. They have said that they have acted against these tunnels and that this Israel takes over the Rafah crossing, this will further
Starting point is 02:05:27 deteriorate the situation inside the Gaza. One has to mention another thing, that once Israel will take over this corridor, this means that there will be heavy fighting there, because Hamas is going to give a heavy fight in this area, and also this is an area which is very crowded with Palestinian population. We have to remember that the Israeli military has been pushing the residents from the north of the Gaza Strip to the south, all the way to Rafah, all the way to this area. So in order to take over, we should expect many casualties. Get them out. That's many casualties. Get them out. That's the message.
Starting point is 02:06:07 Get them all out. And you know how Lex's wife, Fariba, is always saying, oh, in Iran, we all know it. America and Iran are working together. Well, Muslims in Iran, Muslims in Egypt. Two different Muslims. Oh, yeah. Shia in Iran, Sun Muslims in Egypt. Two different Muslims. Oh, yeah. Shia in Iran, Sunni in Egypt. So they don't like each other, which is also the Iran-Iraq issue.
Starting point is 02:06:37 So, of course, they would be, oh, yeah, no, we'll pretend like we got some drones And, you know, we'll say, oh, yeah, no, we did that. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. We were fun. Oh, the Houthi rebels, militia with their pristine uniforms, pristine boots, completely new, beautiful, looking good. And I think if you listen to Kirby, he's just waffling around, pretend like, oh, is this escalation in the region? Well, you know. And joining us now more to discuss is John Kirby, the National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications. John, good morning. It's good to have you.
Starting point is 02:07:16 So let's start there with that news about U.S. helicopters firing on Houthi boats in self-defense and killing the crews. boats in self-defense and killing the crews. How serious is this escalation? And could it draw the U.S. into a potential direct conflict with these Iranian-backed militant groups? In the region. In the region. We don't seek a conflict wider in the region. We certainly aren't looking for a conflict with the Houthis. The best outcome here would be for the Houthis to stop these attacks. Why not? Why not? You got operation what was the operation called stupid operation name that everyone walked away from because they all know it's bogus the outcome here would be for the who's to stop these attacks that we as we have made clear oh please who these stop the attacks we don't want a conflict in the region over and over again. We have formed an international coalition now
Starting point is 02:08:05 of more than 20 nations in an operation called Prosperity Guardian. There's ships and aircraft from countries around the world that are going to do what we have to do to protect that commercial shipping. It's one of the most important, most vital commercial waterways in the world. And we have an obligation with our allies and partners to keep the flow of commerce moving there. The Houthis should stop these attacks. But why don't you go strike them? We've got everything. We've got missiles. We've got satellites. We strike Iraqis. We do it in Iraq. We do it in Syria. Why don't we do it in Yemen of all hell holes? But John, what about a preemptive military strike? Is that on the table? Surgical strike in the region. I won't say what's on or off the table
Starting point is 02:08:43 right now. I'll tell you just a couple of things. One, just to reiterate what I said before, we're going to do what we have to do to protect shipping. Number two, we've got significant national security interests in the region just on our own, the United States. And we're going to put the kind of forces we need in the region to protect those interests. And we're going to act in self-defense going forward. Again, I'm not ruling anything in or out, but we have made it clear publicly to the Houthis. We've made it clear privately to our allies and partners in the region that we take these threats seriously and we're going to make the right decisions going forward. Yeah, which is going to make the right decisions going forward, which means nothing means we're
Starting point is 02:09:18 going to do nothing because we're going to do something once this agreement is made. Well, we're going to do something once this agreement is made. Well, meanwhile, our liquid petroleum gas is much cheaper. Our oil is going to be cheaper. The way I see it, people saying all the way around, going around the long way. Now, this is bull crap. And I'm pretty sure that we'll get that. Is there another Iran deal on the table?
Starting point is 02:09:45 You know, some more money? This is another reason people should subscribe to the newsletter. I just stunned that everybody that listened. We have a small percentage. Well, it's fine. So meanwhile, back at the ranch, Judge Andrew Napolitano has Max Blumenthal on, who I presume is Jewish. Blumenthal. I who I presume is Jewish. Blumenthal.
Starting point is 02:10:07 I presume he is too. This is what his Napolitano's podcast? Yeah, of course. It's a podcast. Which I think will be nominated for Most Amazing Jew Hate in a single
Starting point is 02:10:23 podcast episode. This was really interesting. One event we covered was the return of something like 80 to 100 corpses to uh the gaza strip to a cemetery in the southern city of rafa these were corpses of peoples whose bodies had been stolen by the israeli military from many of them had been stolen from the Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, from other cemeteries, ostensibly because the Israelis were looking for their own hostages. But we have this history of Israeli organ theft, of the theft of body parts, which is well documented and admitted by, for example, Dr. Yehuda Hiss, an Israeli state pathologist at the Abu Kabir Institute in Israel. There are reports even by CNN about this. Dating back
Starting point is 02:11:14 decades, Israel is an international center of the illegal organ trade. Israelis have been prosecuted in Israeli courts for this. And theaza ministry of health and euro med human rights monitor have alleged that these corpses when they were returned to israel to be buried in a mass grave because there's no room left in the cemeteries had body parts missing how do they do this i mean do they bring the body to cut them off to an israeli morgue and an israeli mortician opens up the body and removes the organs and then they bury the body in a mass grave? Well, that's what the Gaza Ministry of Health is alleging. What Dr. Yehuda Hiss said was that we removed corneas and took organs and other body
Starting point is 02:12:00 parts without the permission of the people who had been killed or their families. And this included Palestinians who had been killed by Israeli security forces. People were killed in road accidents and even Israeli soldiers. This is great. I gave you a clip of the day for digging that one up. Oh, there's a part two, but I'll take the clip of the day first. That's a good one. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:12:25 Yeah, that was a good find. Check out part two, part two. Israel also has the largest skin bank in the world. Yeah. And it uses that skin bank to graft the skin of, for example, burn wounds that Israeli soldiers are enduring in the Gaza Strip as thousands are being wounded in this sort of faltering military assault on Gaza. The Israeli skin bank is accused of stealing body parts as well.
Starting point is 02:12:52 So this is a crime against humanity that goes to the essence of Israel's assault on the personal freedom of Palestinians. Israel's assault on the personal freedom of Palestinians. Our families don't even have the right to bury their own family members who are killed. And that's also part of the psychological war on Palestine that Israel has traditionally sought to prevent the burials of Palestinians, especially those who they consider to be quote-unquote terrorists. It's great. I have my two Gaza clips.
Starting point is 02:13:31 I'm just thinking. There's donor bone in my jaw. And I thought maybe it was from the Uyghurs, but now I'm thinking it's probably some Hamas. You could be part Jewish. No, Hamas. Oh, yeah. You could be part Jewish. No, Hamas. Oh yeah, you could be a terrorist
Starting point is 02:13:48 at any minute. If I start yelling Allah Akbar, then you know what's going on. It's the Hamas vote. People might want to read the novel Heart of a Dog by Bulgakov to get the idea of what could happen under such circumstances.
Starting point is 02:14:04 So I have two Gossett clips and they're super short because I have a comment to make about each one. Israeli tanks pushed deeper into the 25 mile long Gaza Strip today with residents saying airstrikes hit two urban refugee camps. The Hamas run health ministry in Gaza reports at least 165 Palestinians have been killed since yesterday. Okay. Finally, somebody says it correctly. The Hamas-run health ministry. Oh, good point. Nobody has done that before.
Starting point is 02:14:39 They always just say, oh, the Palestinian health ministry. No, the Hamas. So these numbers could be completely bogus. There's no reason to suspect that Hamas is not lying through its teeth about all these numbers we've been hearing. The genocide. So I thought that was an eye opener. So let's part two of the continuation of the same clip. Israel has not responded to reporting that it attacked refugee areas.
Starting point is 02:15:07 This comes after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken approved a one hundred and forty seven million dollar emergency weapons sale to Israel, bypassing Congress for the second time this month. What? He just had that in his back pocket. Hunter Hunter had it in his back pocket. Hunter. Hunter had it in the bank account. Second time we bypassed Congress for money? That's not even, that's unconstitutional. He should be impeached.
Starting point is 02:15:36 Oh, there we go. That's PBS. That's pretty amazing that PBS did that. You know, I was kind of stunned by that short clip. By the way um the clip of the day goes to neil the other half of the jones brothers the jones brothers like bringing it bringing the heat jones brothers they want to do their own show that's what's going to result that's the long term thing that's they do a show themselves screw us exit. That's our exit strategy. No, wait. Wait, wait, wait. You're seeing this all wrong. Look at the opportunity. The Jones brothers do the show.
Starting point is 02:16:09 We executive produce. Oh, and we don't do anything except collect money. Yeah. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you,
Starting point is 02:16:16 the man who put the sea in Tuscany. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John St. Amore. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
Starting point is 02:16:27 In the morning to the Jones brothers. Chips to sea, boots to the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names of the knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Well, there we go. We're counting them. Hey, hey, we went up. We gained some trolls. 200 jumped on board. 1774.

We're the only people that work on this day anyway. Pretty much. The kind of scrub crews that we're seeing on all the
Starting point is 02:17:02 networks, including Fox, is pretty amazing yeah now i i think it's uh i think it's worthy that we do this i like it i like it you know because otherwise i do too in fact oh show beer what are you drinking hopefully it's not just seltzer nope it's not as a matter of fact this is boublay oh boublay wow that has some natural flavors i'm sure no it's actually i'm going to read it says just boublay this is unflavored sparkling water with electrolytes read the ingredients i guarantee you it says so this is a tribute a tribute to the idiocracy
Starting point is 02:17:47 movie oh i can read them okay oh uh water calcium chloride and potassium chloride yeah yum in other words water and salt water and salt. Water and salt. Well, good. But it's non-flavored? I thought Buble always had flavors. No, no. You can get the unflavored. That's what I got.
Starting point is 02:18:13 And you get that Frank Sinatra voice. You start singing. Yeah. Okay. That's Buble. Buble. Buble does the commercials. Yeah, he does the commercials.
Starting point is 02:18:27 Or he's done commercials for the water you are yes not back here well trolls thanks for showing up we we appreciate you uh many of you are logged in at trollroom.io where there's always a party going on there 24 7 even when this it's also part of the no agenda stream so that runs uh 24 7 and there's podcasts on there lots of live shows for instance like wednesday night nick the rat comes on um before the show darren o'neill who i have to say darren also worked today he showed up he was sick but he still did the show how'd he sound i didn't get to hear him he sounded uh congested congested but he did the show. I dare no deal. I guess a rock and roll show.

Or if you miss that, if you can't attend, then you can just get the podcast version when it comes out. It's all in one app. You don't need to have separate apps. And God, please don't use YouTube music.
Starting point is 02:19:42 That's the devil right there. Do not use youtube music export your opml file your your subscriptions to any of these modern podcast apps um value for value that's how uh we've been doing it once again a full year of value for value and i have to say i'm very happy even though it's And I have to say, I'm very happy, even though it's often a roller coaster ride for us with ups and downs. The podcast industrial complex is collapsing upon itself. It's folding. So, man, you imagine if we had any ads, if we had corporate money, which we'd be dead.
Starting point is 02:20:25 Well, first of all, we wouldn't have been on the air for 16 years because I'm sure we would have said something that pissed too many people off. In the first couple of years, we've said so much stuff that in fact, we stopped counting how many offensive things we've said that could be, that could get us thrown off. If we had somebody telling us the, you guys are saying the wrong thing there. It's kind of offensive. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:20:42 We got a call from sales. We got a call from sales. We got a call from sales. The BMW people didn't like the German jokes. Okay, we're sorry about that. So no, we just give you the value, all of it. There's no gimmicks, no tricks, no tote bags.
Starting point is 02:21:00 Now, of course, you can get to all kinds of cool things at noagendashop.com. We have no contract with them do you know the artists deal with them directly they get their art they put it together that's one of the many ways that value is what they're doing haven't heard from in a while i noticed no but that's why i want to mention them because people should go to noagendashop.com get all kinds of cool merch merch there's no licensing deals there's none of that from time to time the shop donates some money whatever we're happy with it you know we have
Starting point is 02:21:31 people doing all kinds of things void zero running the infrastructure caps and beer caps beer cozies beer cozies we should get one for horowitz when he's on his fishing trip. Beer cozy. He's always on a fishing trip. I know. How many shows? He catches more fish. And he throws it back. Yeah, I was very disappointed because he catches some of the fish I've always wanted to try, like a wahoo. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:21:58 And he has to go give it to the natives. Weird. That's like, you know, I have friends here. We have friends here who are well they say they're hunters but obviously smuggling blood blood diamonds and ivory or whatever into into texas and so they'll pay money to go shoot an elephant and then the whole then they give the elephant to the town and you you know, they'll get like a steak, elephant steak, and then that's
Starting point is 02:22:28 it. So they pay. Have you ever had elephant? No. I would love to try it. How is it? It's like chicken? It's kind of tough. Whatever cut I had, it was not,
Starting point is 02:22:44 I'm not craving elephant. Moose is the meat you'll eat. Oh, moose is great. Moose and reindeer? Reindeer is terrific. I will say this about reindeer, not to belabor it. It's a little bloody. Reindeer is probably the bloodiest, I mean, meat you you can ever imagine it really just runs all over
Starting point is 02:23:06 the place but it's fabulous well that's because you had rudolph you want to get donner one of those you want to get one of those older ones rudolph the red-blooded reindeer uh anyway so uh all we do is put the value out there for you. There's no paywalls, no levels or anything, no subscriptions. It's just, you know, all we do is do our best every single show. And then if you assign any value to that in your life, if it did anything for you, if it made you smile, it made you cry. If you learn something, if it made you think about something, if it just got you through a difficult time in your life, then send us some value back. You can do that whenever you want, however you want. We accept treasure. We also accept time and talent. As I said, the Jones boys help us out a
Starting point is 02:23:55 lot. We've got Void Zero on the infrastructure. We got Sir Daniel on the meetups. And a lot of you send them boots on, like the teacher, boots on the ground reports, all kinds of stuff. It truly is, I think, the best example of a podcast. We are interactive with our audience. You're not listeners. You're active producers. Subscribe to that newsletter. I think our interaction with the audience is there's nobody that comes close. the audience is is there's nobody that comes close no no and you but the thing is we make it look easy not everybody can do this jones brothers before you get any ideas um but it's been honed over 16 years and we've done that with you the show started off very differently and we're doing we believe what you want and for that very reason, we're going to thank some suppliers of talent and time, which is our artists. And there you go.
Starting point is 02:24:54 Artgenerator.com, Sir Paul Couture. Now on the fourth version, I think, of the Art Generator. And we're very pleased. And, of course, we also have our artists. And we're going to um and of course we also have our artists and we're going to critique uh some of these submissions and also congratulate the winner if you want to call it a contest um the art that we picked for episode 1620 we titled that yoko swift oh how could we not and i mean this was a classic uh for a of reasons. One is comics for blogger. Two, it was not a butt, which is amazing.
Starting point is 02:25:29 That's a huge diversion for comics for blogger. He didn't do a butt. But he does like poop emojis. And it was a poop emoji with the recycle arrows. with the recycle arrows. And that was, of course, for the California poop water recycling that you will now be drinking your own feces. No, no, no.
Starting point is 02:25:52 No, it wasn't. It was for the Japanese deciding to make poop. Oh, you're right. Steak poop. You're right. I'm sorry. I forgot. We just have water recycling. We haven't recycled the poop here sorry. I forgot. We just have water recycled.
Starting point is 02:26:05 We haven't recycled the poop here yet. Not yet. It's coming, though. Well, we'd have by reelecting Gavin Newsom, but besides that. Oh. So we thank Commercially Blogger. And another, it was, of course, AI, which made it even more exciting for us. But that's only because there wasn't much else to choose from.
Starting point is 02:26:29 I mean, so Commercially Blogger flooded the zone with poop emojis thanks then we had uh what did we have we had uh the chat times from dame kenny ben we got it but it wasn't i mean yes it was the time new york times suing chat g. It was a little bland. Yeah, it was cute. It was cute, a little bland. You actually, you were stuck on the recycling variant from Commerce and Blogger with all the fruits and vegetables. Yeah, I thought that was a better looking piece, but it didn't make any sense. No, we needed poop in there. It had to have some poop involved.
Starting point is 02:27:02 There's no poop. So we had the two poop ones, and we decided the one more colorful poopy one was the one we chose. And also, the colorful poopy one had a bigger smile. It did. And a good smile. The other one looked depressed, the other poop. We like the happy poop.
Starting point is 02:27:17 Yay, I'm steak now. But see, there was, what else was there? The Masked Goat by Nestworks. I like the cheese. The Davy Cheesecake. Yeah. Very difficult to understand. No, you would never get it.
Starting point is 02:27:35 No. People have to have an inkling. Stop putting Joe Biden and Trump and all these. Don't use heads of politicians. 99% certain you're not going to get chosen. Yeah. I would agree. It was the shaft.
Starting point is 02:27:50 And that was it. It was, it was kind of low, low on the, on the level. Yeah. We didn't have a good selection. We did have the,
Starting point is 02:27:56 uh, clip custodian Bunsen burner. Oh yeah. You liked that one. It was a nice piece, but it was, it really didn't, we liked that one. It was a nice piece, but it really didn't... We needed Sterno.
Starting point is 02:28:08 It really was Sterno that I was going for. But I said Bunsen burner, and he probably was creating it already. And that was really the selection. Poop burger? No. No, no, no, no. That's not going to cut. So I see that we already have quite a large selection for our New Year's Eve
Starting point is 02:28:26 selection that we'll be picking right after the show. Thank you to all of these artists, of course. We appreciate everything that you do. And at home, you can play along with the game. You can just go to noagendaartgenerator.com. It's interactive as well. You can, you know, refresh during the show, actually see these art pieces update. You. It's interactive as well. You can refresh during the show, actually, see these art pieces update. You can go look at individual artist profiles. I think the artist profiles could be built out a little bit more, a little more information about the artist.
Starting point is 02:28:56 It seems like now it's just the name. Well, the artists have to chip in. They got to chip in? Well, they got to. Who are they? A lot of artists won't tell us anything. They can have a little bit more, but I don't think there's any place for some information.
Starting point is 02:29:10 Oh, well, yeah. There's that. It should be done like a wiki. Maybe a wiki page where the artist can go and just write his own bio. They have a little icon so they can upload their profile pic. But I'm looking for a little more
Starting point is 02:29:25 you know uh just a little bit more or possibility i don't know i have paul couture in the background listening going i like i haven't done enough work you've done more than enough sir paul couture we appreciate you um so thank you again to all of our artists now let's go to the treasure portion of the show we had a special promotion one two three one two three uh i don't don't think anyone did this did we get any we got a couple one two yeah they were at the beginning is one two three no it's not it's one two three four five six which i'm not going to complain i'm not going to complain the next one is one two three two you know it's one two three oh one three yeah well you know it's a combination no it's not even close this is a two three is right at the beginning it

A Goodwill store changed the lives of two local families thanks to a shared memory card from a camera. Originally from Chesterfield, Jordan Vermont is a senior at Mizzou studying education and is a self-proclaimed amateur photographer. This is the Goodwill in Manchester, where it all started.
Starting point is 02:57:59 Jordan and Sharon Vermont, her mother, decided to go shopping during Thanksgiving break for Jordan from Mizzou. She asked her mom if she could buy a camera that was more than 20 years old from the technology section. And when we got home, she said, Mom, there's a memory card in here. And I said, wow, I hope the people didn't leave pictures on that. I wonder what's on there. It was full of someone's family photos from 2009. Jordan said she wanted to send these pictures to whomever they belonged to. So Sharon posted on Facebook asking if anyone knew these people. They're from 2009, so I didn't know if some of the people in the photos weren't around anymore. Jordan was right.
Starting point is 02:58:37 My dad has been gone for five years and yeah, very sad. And then my aunt passed away two years ago. and yeah, very sad. And then my aunt passed away two years ago.

I lost my mom three years ago and I just was thinking,
Starting point is 02:58:57 you know, if somebody had found pictures of her, I mean, I would be so grateful to get them. As was Pat, who bumped into a friend she hadn't seen in 10 years at a local craft show. Then... Two days later, I get a text from her saying, is this your family? And I'm like, oh my gosh, yes, it is my family.
