No Agenda - 1726 - "The Fog"

Starting point is 00:00:00 Nyehehehehehe! in FEMA Region Number Six. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where everyone's talking about the fog, the fog. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's crack-bottom buzzkill. In the morning. Well, I'm glad you started with that before we say happy new year, let's talk about the fog. Here is a quick super cut about the fog.

Starting point is 00:00:42 For the last seven days, the world has been shrouded in a veil of mystery, an unrelenting fog that stretches from the poop covered streets of Portland, Oregon to the quietest corners of the countryside. This is no ordinary weather phenomenon. It's a dense suffocating mist with an unsettling smell of chemicals lingering in the air. Oh, this is gonna be interesting. suffocating mist with an unsettling smell of chemicals lingering in the air. Oh

Starting point is 00:01:07 This is gonna be interesting Have you noticed this strange thick fog that is blanketing cities across the globe? As a matter of fact drop in the comments if you've experienced this people are getting sick They're coughing struggling to breathe and posting videos about it all over the internet. And here's the kicker, they're even reporting the scent of chemicals. We have some strange things happening, my friends. This is Tony. This very bizarre fog, very thick fog happening in places that it never happens. Never. And things being seen in the fog. This is an emergency live stream

Starting point is 00:01:49 because the internet, it's flooded right now with footage that I'm about to show you. Oh yes. Many of that footage with a weird fog issue. Okay, so you guys have sent in some really wild stuff this time. Seriously wild. Videos, social media posts.

Starting point is 00:02:12 I even saw a couple of local news clips all about this strange fog that seems to be blanketing everything. It's popping up everywhere. Oh man, hey people guess what it's fog It's fine here. I don't know what they're talking about. Oh man. Oh, well the best one I couldn't find anyone on YouTube or talking about it is this is not fog. It's smart dust. Oh I haven't heard that. Yes. Yes. I mean I started off with I wasn't even going to use that as the intro

Starting point is 00:02:45 I'm glad you got that super cut because I have no clips about it. I made that myself this morning. Well good Good. I'm glad we do some work on this show. We do some work So there's this woman who's finally, you know, she looks at her HEPA filter in her furnace and it's all you know It's black because you know, who knows why? Possibilities. It's a HEPA filter. That's why. It's a hepa filter. They collect dust. Yeah. And so she's all bent out of shape because of the fog. And then there's this, this idea, this is the June bug thing. It's a, it's a, it's a weird form of hysteria.

Starting point is 00:03:16 Mimi brought it up this morning. She's on the computer. She says, what's this all about? The fog. The fog. What's up? Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Was she on the computer or was she on Facebook? up? Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait. Was she on the computer or was she on Facebook? She was on the computer. She was doom scrolling on something. That wasn't Facebook, I don't think.

Starting point is 00:03:29 Of course. Of course. But I told her that the real, the real thing that's going on, I thought the fog thing had already passed. No. But was, and I do have the clip for this, which is this thing, which is the only talk clip I have. Oh boy. Right away. which is this thing, which is the only talk clip I have.

Starting point is 00:03:46 Oh boy, right away. This is a woman. This is a woman. She's wearing a mask. She's at the Planet Fitness and here she goes. Hey, good morning people. For those of you who watch most of my post, you know that I am a proud member of Team Delulu.

Starting point is 00:04:00 Team Delulu? If you know what that means, then it will make sense to you. But I was watching Empress and Royal Cognizance and a couple of other people today and it's starting. It's happening. If you have access to DJT's, that social media side of his, read the one from today where he is talking to Republicans and telling them to be tough. He knows. He knows he's caught. He knows. What? He's caught? This is going to be an interesting few weeks. I've told happy I can say a little

Starting point is 00:05:11 bit about it now. I was told not to talk about this. I was warned that I would be blocked if I brought this up in any conversations. And that shocks me that it's easy for a person or people to do that and then condemn me for questioning things that don't look right. And now we learn that there's a lot of people questioning what doesn't look right. We just lost half the audience. What is this clip? What is this clip about? There's a nut. This is all black women. Trump is not going to be this. I've been playing these clips for awhile.

Starting point is 00:05:57 He's not going to be president. Yes. I've heard this one. I've been playing these clips for awhile. They're all subtle. And they're all like, this is the latest version of one of these black women. They've all come out and said he's been caught. Yes. He's in Guantanamo Bay. He's in Guantanamo Bay, no doubt. He's been caught and he's not gonna,

Starting point is 00:06:16 and Kamala, the thing that really tops it from some of these people is that Kamala's being brought back. Yeah, to be president, of course. It's obvious. And she said, the thing,. Of course. It's obvious. And she said the thing, now this one might be a parody, this one, this woman, because she says she's from Team Delulu. As in delusional? Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, okay. So we didn't lose half the audience. We only lost a third of them. Come on. So first of all, it's temperature inversion. We have fog. In fact, January 2024,

Starting point is 00:06:51 Washington Post, why thick fog is blanketing a record stretch of the US? This happens in January. But you identified correctly what is really happening in the narcissistic era that we live in. And I was thinking about this yesterday. Hysteria. Well, it's narcissistic and that's why it breeds hysteria. And if it was a parody or not, what she's doing is very typical. I can't talk about this. They told me I'll be blocked. I have this on.

Starting point is 00:07:23 They. They, they, they, they. So yesterday we had a New Year's. They, they, they, they. So yesterday we had a New Year's Eve gathering, some friends of ours, and we had black eyed peas actually, which was a first. Yeah, it's good luck in the South. It's good luck in the South. Do you hear in the North?

Starting point is 00:07:34 No. It comes, I think it originally comes from the Civil War, I think. Black eyed peas were- I used to know the history of this superstition. Well, I looked it up. know the history of this superstition. Of course, it's superstition. But black-eyed peas were considered a food for animals, were often overlooked by soldiers,

Starting point is 00:07:50 however they became a vital source of sustenance during harsh winters. And it is, of course, a symbol of luck. You got to eat black-eyed peas. I never had them. Liked them a lot. It's a bean. I liked them a lot.

Starting point is 00:07:59 It was good. They're very tasty. It's an heirloom bean. They're quite good. There's a lot of these different kinds of heirloom beans yellow-eyed peas to which are beans. Well, hold on a second I've never heard of well now we have a now we have a bean discussion yellow-eyed peas, hmm

Starting point is 00:08:17 Yeah, I have a couple cans they came from SNW. I think they were under there. They have an heirloom brand They're starting to bring out these old heirloom beans and canning them. Uh, this is a bunch of weird, weird, they're all good. I mean, this nothing tops just to say this. I'm going to say it. Like I have also like a pineapple pizza. So I'm going to say this too. There's nothing better than a Pinto bean. Pinto bean Pinto beans for the win. So as always, people bring up the, you know, like, it must have been 30, 40 people there.

Starting point is 00:08:53 At least half of them are watching the game, the Texas game. When it over time, we won, of course, Texas. Although we didn't deserve it. That's my sports ball analysis for today. I would say you didn't deserve it. That's my sports ball analysis. I would say you didn't deserve it and let Arizona State get that close I'm telling you we didn't deserve it, but we won so we'll take it But then everyone he said well, there's this conspiracy guy Hey, what about the fog? Starts with the fog and then oh, yeah. Oh, oh

Starting point is 00:09:21 You want to hear the latest? Yeah, of course. Remind me to come back to the story. We are about to go into 10 days of communication darkness. Oh, the power to the entire world will switch off briefly. At which point the internet will be switched over to star link only. Shutdowns will occur only in certain areas, but banks are closing, ATMs, credit cards won't work. Make sure you have at least a month supply of food,

Starting point is 00:09:51 water, cash, medicine, all the essentials for yourself, your family, and to share with others in case of emergency. But if you're unprepared, don't worry because the military will be supplying what we need. And nonstop education will be broadcast, teaching everybody about the true principles of freedom and justice. It's coming, it's all coming, it's all part of the plan, trust the plan. I'm not kidding. This is the stuff that gets talked about here. That is amazing. It's fantastic. It

Starting point is 00:10:19 is fantastic. It's absolutely amazing how small communities, which yours is, of incredibly well-educated, smart, successful people, very smart people. And high net income area too. I think you're not a bunch of poor people. No, no, not at all. In fact, the poor people are probably going to come up with this crap. We're the poorest. We're the podcast family.

Starting point is 00:10:42 Everyone else is in oil and land. We're like this. So it's essentially a Texas elite and you end up coming up with this left and right and it happens continuously. This, I've noticed this, it's nonstop. So, and it goes from one to another and nobody ever notices that the stuff in the past has ever failed and never happened. Well, so I…

Starting point is 00:11:06 No one questions this. This is what bothers me. Well, then it went moved to H1B and we don't want, I don't want to get into that just now, but you know, I'd laid out my, my rap, which I laid out on the last show. It's like, you let them all come in Silicon Valley, let them all be, let it all be run by Indians. It's fine. What have they delivered other than the iPhone 16?

Starting point is 00:11:27 At this point, people start laughing and chuckling, and like, oh, I still have an iPhone. People pull out their iPhones. I have an iPhone 11, I have an upgraded, oh, I get an iPhone 12, and then I pull out the flip phone. I said, I got a flip phone. And everyone was, oh, let me look at that. And it was this, it really made me think, like, what is it? And like, oh, what does it do? I said, not much. Does it have a selfie

Starting point is 00:11:53 cam? He said, not a very good one. It's just, it's unattractive to use. It's not easy. So I don't use it. I use it for texting and it's indestructible and it costs 62 bucks. And I realized what is happening in the narcissistic era. The narcissism is created by the smartphone and the selfie cam. And we're, you know, if you're looking... I love, hold on a second. I love the way you come up with these crazy theories. You've done this before with the under-socialized over socialized, under educated, you have this basic thesis and you will use it as a, as a baseline, a tree as it were for all the branches of your thoughts forever and

Starting point is 00:12:34 it's actually quite good. Well thank you and I'm not even done. I'm just getting ramped up here. Well no, I figured that that's why I had to stop you. So you know what happens is you know and it's TikTok and a lot of older people are on TikTok. What is happening is, you know, you're completely in your own bubble. You know, you have this device in your hands and it is the device.

Starting point is 00:12:57 I'm convinced now it's the device. And if there's something you don't like, you just swipe away. We are, in fact, propagandizing ourselves by, oh no, I don't want to see that. No, I want to see more missed videos. And throughout history, people have carried symbols of how they're dominated.

Starting point is 00:13:16 Now, slaves of course didn't have a choice, but they got branded. You had the scarlet letter. It's to some degree even a rosary is showing that you're dominated by something. And I think the smartphone now is our confessional. TikTok and social networks, they're the church. A like is like getting an amen. And instead of asking for forgiveness, we're begging for attention. And this is why you're safe. This is why you're safe, because you

Starting point is 00:13:45 don't have one of these propaganda narcissistic devices. And I have one. And yeah, but you don't carry it around like a rosary. No, hell no. No. And in my flip phone, people are interested. I can see they're drawn to it, because underneath it all,

Starting point is 00:14:02 they know that the smartphone is the problem and they're drawn to the $62 device because they know that really they have to break free from this thing that dominates their life. It has become a complete narcissistic air. It's all to raise everyone's own profile, to raise your own marketability. Brand. Yeah, your brand, your marketability. That's what it's become.

Starting point is 00:14:30 And those who are tied to it will probably never get out of it. The narcissistic era, the smartphone, and the selfie camera. Well, that woman who is talking that the talk clip that I played earlier, she does say, if you've heard my other discussions, you know I'm a member of Delulu. Yeah. In other words, a lot of these people always self-reference. They talk about... Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.

Starting point is 00:15:00 It's like I've been, as I've told you in my past videos, you know, as though they all say this. Yes, yes, yes. As you should know from my show. My show, yeah. And this is also the reason for the incessant, you've gotta have a video podcast. If you don't have a video podcast, it's no good. You've gotta show yourself, it's for you.

Starting point is 00:15:21 You have to raise your you. It's all about your brand, your marketability. Your personal brand. Yeah. And I think you and I... I'd like to do a Google Ngram search on personal brand and see what that cropped up. How many times have you heard someone say, oh that's really off-brand for me? I've heard young people say this. Oh yeah. Yeah. They're lost, John. And we are the life raft in an ocean. We are the life raft in an ocean of narcissism.

Starting point is 00:15:50 Grab a hold of us, people. Grab a hold. You can be saved. Jeez. Jeez. That's a great one. Yeah. And you're gandated all back to 2007 with the iPhone.

Starting point is 00:16:05 That's right. That's when it kicked in. There was other smart devices that, you know, Microsoft had a smartphone and Nokia, but they didn't come close to once the iPhone rolled out. Well, actually, when did the iPhone get the selfie cam? I don't think it was on the first device. I think it was. I don't think they had a selfie cam. I don't think it was on the first device. I think it was. I don't think that a selfie cam. No, because there were, I'll tell you why I think that. Okay. I know you would have to look it up, the iPhone 1, but because there was selfie cameras on all the other phones before the iPhone showed up, they're not going to bring it out and

Starting point is 00:16:39 without the camera because they, their cameras were already in play for at least two or three years. In fact, I remember going to come next to some of these trade shows with for Motorola and other people and they had the cat did some, not all of them, but a lot of them already had the camera. It was a big deal. Let me see hardware. I don't think it had, I don't think it, I think that was one of the reasons. Hmm. I can't find it quick enough, but I don't think it had, I don't think it, I think that was one of the reasons hmm, I can't find it quick enough, but I don't feel

Starting point is 00:17:16 Troll room go to work. Troll room says had the first iPhone only had the rear camera Yeah, yeah, like oh you mean okay. Yes. I don't yeah, you're thinking of the two cameras. Yeah. Yeah selfie cam. That's the front camera. Yeah, you're right Yeah, yeah No that that I agree with because the self the idea of a selfie camera the camera on the other side came when they were Looking for additional features. Yes. Yes, and so you could do they were taking people were taking selfies with the rear camera They check it. I know but it was the combo. It was the it wasn't quite the same yeah, the combo of the front facing cam and Facebook slash Twitter. You had to have a place to send it.

Starting point is 00:17:50 The funny thing is that the camera, the regular camera that was on all the phones, was a higher resolution and the selfie camera is always like half as good. Yeah, it sucked. It was just a cheaper camera. Yes. It was always, yeah. Because they didn't, they didn't, they didn't, well they didn't understand the importance that this, this would make it the true bonanza that it is.

Starting point is 00:18:13 It the front facing camera is really the big deal. That's right. And in conjunction with, I mean, what is Tik Tok about? All these clips, every single one you've brought is all about, it's all about me. Watch me dance, watch me cook, watch me do my hair, watch me do my makeup. Well the dancing dipshits clips are the, I mean we don't play those on this show because it's just them dipshit dancing around. Watch my morning routine.

Starting point is 00:18:34 Looking her cool moves, you know, there's always some girl as a teen. Watch me pop my husband. And I don't understand what the appeal of this is. If somebody could explain that to me. It's, I'm explaining it to you. No, I know, but why would you? Yes, but that's different than expressing yourself by talking yakking

Starting point is 00:18:50 as opposed to taking somebody's song and then doing some dance. Look at me dance. Look at me dance. Look how good I dance. I'm a good dancer. They're not good dancers. No one said narcissists were realistic. No. Well, really the dancing thing is despicable. Anyway, thanks to smartphones. We also have lots of video of lots of events, lots of things that are taking place. And I'm sure lots of people are tuning in to this live broadcast saying, oh, I wonder what the guys think about New Orleans. I wonder what they're talking about. And I'm going to have way too many clips for the

Starting point is 00:19:28 New Orleans. Well, that's good. I have clips that are that I think will will matter. But I want to remind everybody how we view these things. And it was in fact, November 14th, 2024, exactly six weeks ago that this report came over the wire. Breaking this hour, FBI Houston has arrested a man accused of attempting to provide material support for the terror group ISIS. That was six weeks ago. Now, when I see something happening with ISIS, with apparently an ISIS flag, the FBI is on the scene immediately. I can only think six weeks cycle gone rogue because it had all the other elements.

Starting point is 00:20:24 It had. six-week cycle gone, uh, gone rogue Because had all the other elements it had No, I I'm totally into the six. I didn't get the previous clip from the November 14th, but I was totally convinced because they're you're right This is as soon as the story starts off FBI FBI starts off with what why not local police? You know, they mean and local police were obviously involved in New Orleans, but the FBI angle was just too much. I need to roll out, I guess, right off the bat. This guy that the WGN had on in Chicago, who is professor of history from DePaul, but he's

Starting point is 00:21:02 a, Bill, I believe, as terrorism expert. He's got the gray hair. He's got all the features, John, all of it. And I have, yes, I have my terrorist experts too. Okay. I'll, let me roll out mine. What's this guy's name? This is something weird.

Starting point is 00:21:20 Let's see. This mentioned in the clip. What is your sense about what the city, New Orleans, what police? Hold on a second. Is this the, I'm going to make sure I got the right one. Here we go. This one. Dr. Tom McItus, terrorism expert and talk.

Starting point is 00:21:33 Tom McItus? It's Mock-i-tus, M-o-c-k-a-i-t-u-a. Mock-i-tus. I'm not kidding. Mock-i-tus. Mock-i-tus. Dr. Tom McItus, terrorism expert and history professor at DePaul University is joining us live now to discuss more on this tragedy in New Orleans.

Starting point is 00:21:50 Tom, thanks for joining us. What are your thoughts on this suspect's background? We heard President Biden elaborating on some posts to social media where he was praising ISIS and also his military background. Just give us your reaction to the details that we know about him so far. Yes, details. Well, he reminds me of the forehood shooter in that regard, Hassan Nidal. This is another example of the self-radicalized or radicalized online lone wolf terrorist. Woo, lone wolf!

Starting point is 00:22:29 It looks like he acted alone, but they're not entirely sure about that. But what's really interesting is his attack was almost, you know, a page taken out of the Inspire magazine published in 2010. Oh, whoa! magazine published in 2010. That was the issue that had this Chicago skyline. It also had an article titled, you know, the ultimate mowing machine, which contained instructions for how to use a pickup truck to mow down pedestrians and then follow it up with a firearm battle, which is exactly what he did. And of course, the flag is pretty compelling evidence that he affiliated with ISIS. Now they didn't immediately claim responsibility, which is exactly what he did. And of course the flag is pretty compelling evidence that he affiliated with ISIS. Now they didn't immediately claim responsibility,

Starting point is 00:23:09 which is further evidence that he's a lone wolf. Typically they will only weigh in when they've made a determination that yes, he's acted on our behalf and we bless his actions. So when I heard this, I hear Inspire Magazine, Lone Wolf, The Ultimate Mowing Machine. I dive into our No Agenda clip archive. 2016, Trump enters office in this year as well. When I saw this attack and the news unfolding, I immediately recalled a series of articles

Starting point is 00:23:38 in the Al Qaeda and the Arabian Peninsula magazine, Inspire, called Open Source Shi Had, which were published in 2010. And one of those articles described exactly what happened in Paris today. This was the magazine that was published by Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, who were two American-born Al-Qaeda terrorists. And this article, the ultimate mowing machine, let me just read you this because this is exactly what happened. The idea is to use a pickup truck as a mowing machine, not to mow grass, but to mow down

Starting point is 00:24:07 the enemies of Allah. Pick your location and timing carefully. Go for the most crowded locations. To achieve maximum carnage, you need to pick up as much speed as you can while still retaining good control of your vehicle in order to strike as many people as possible in your first run. The ideal location is a place where there are maximum number of pedestrians and the least number of vehicles. If you can get through the pedestrian-only areas that

Starting point is 00:24:29 exist in some downtown city areas, that would be fabulous. And finally, this is the kicker. If you have access to firearms, carry them with you so that you may use them to finish off your work if your vehicle gets grounded during the attack. The idea would be to implement it in countries like Israel, the US, Britain, Canada, Australia, and France. That is exactly what happened tonight.

Starting point is 00:24:51 Al Qaeda published it in 2010 in their magazine, Inspire. Come on, FBI, we know this script. Just to pile on. Yeah, please. And that was from 2016. 2016, yeah. NPR. Yeah, please. And that was from 2016.

Starting point is 00:25:02 2016, yeah. NPR, the clip is called Car Ramming Inspire Magazine. You know, in 2010, Al-Qaeda came out in Inspire Magazine and asked people to start using vehicles to ram. They in fact named the F-350 specifically as a heavy duty weapon that could be used by their people. And then that was added to by the Islamic State. And so it's not something that we should be surprised by.

Starting point is 00:25:39 And I'll just add that the president or whoever that guy is came out right away for a four-minute conference, a four-minute speech about what happened, which was interrupted by the teleprompter failing. I think it's important we listen to what President Biden said. Here's what we know so far. The FBI has reported to me the killer was an American citizen, born in Texas. He served in the United States Army and active duty for many years. He also served in the Army Reserve until a few years ago. The FBI also reported to me that mere hours before the attack, he posted videos on social media indicating that he's inspired by ISIS.

Starting point is 00:26:22 I have not seen any of these videos, by the way. I have not seen any videos he posted on social media, but okay. Expression of desire to kill. Kill! Desire to kill. The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle. Okay, now this is a discrepancy. The flag was found in his vehicle.

Starting point is 00:26:42 Was he flying on the back of his vehicle? The FBI had it covered. The flag was found in his vehicle. Was he flying on the back of his vehicle? The FBI had it covered. I saw the video where he hangs a quick right and accelerates onto Bourbon Street. The flag was not unfurled in that video. So this stinks. But you rented to conduct this attack.

Starting point is 00:26:59 I agree with this. By the way, I've got, I don't have, I followed this too and there's discrepant, it was on the trailer hitch, it was on a flagpole, it was in the back, it was in the trunk, it was on the ground, yeah. Yeah, a little more from the president. The ISIS flag was found in his vehicle,

Starting point is 00:27:17 which he rented to conduct this attack. Why is this relevant? Which he rented to conduct this attack? I mean, this is a script. Explosives were found in the vehicle as well. And more explosives were found nearby. The situation is very fluid. And the investigation has a preliminary stage.

Starting point is 00:27:38 And the fact is that right now, excuse me. Mr. President, we're having a problem with the prompter. Just one second. There you go. Okay, go ahead. The law enforcement and intelligence community are continuing to look for any connections, associations, or co-conspirators. We have nothing additional to report at this time. The investigation is continuing to be active, and no one should jump to conclusions. I've directed my attorney general, the FBI director, the secretary of homeland security,

Starting point is 00:28:10 the head of the National Counter-Terrorism Center, and the intelligence community to work on this intensively until we have a full and complete information. And once we have that information, I will share that information as soon as we can confirm it. Additionally, we're tracking the explosion of a cyber truck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Oh, there we go. Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including

Starting point is 00:28:40 whether there's any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans. Thus far, there's nothing to report on that score at this time. Yeah, this is the Biden weave where he weaves all kinds of things together. And this is exactly how you get stuff started online. Everyone starts freaking out. I have one more clip to play than I want you to play your clips. This, I think, is a killer clip. This is Senator Kennedy, Joe Kennedy, the guy who's usually just funny.

Starting point is 00:29:10 He's from John Kennedy. I'm sorry. He's from Louisiana. He's he's down boots on the ground. He's I've never seen this. He has like an army jacket on with American. Got a funny outfit on. He's got, you know, he's like, okay, I better put this on because I'm official now, I'm in official capacity.

Starting point is 00:29:29 But what he said says it all. This sounds to be some sort of sleeper cell, a terror cell on US soil. Terror cell. Is that what you're hearing? Well, I should, there's a fine line between anger and grief, and I'm pretty much straddling that line right

Starting point is 00:29:46 now. If you don't believe in objective evil, all you need to do is go walk about 30 or 40 yards that way. I'm here for two reasons. Number one, these are my people. And these are my people's guests. Number two, I don't wanna hear from anybody in the federal government that they don't have the resources.

Starting point is 00:30:06 Now, the White House, the FBI, Justice, Homeland Security are in charge now. We're cooperating with them. I want to give them a reasonable period of time. There's a lot of information out there, some of it is actually true. I want to give them a reasonable period of time, but they need to saddle up and ride We need to find out what happened here, and it's not gonna be covered up. We're gonna tell the American people Exactly what happened and that's why I'm down here Yeah, we know a lot more than what's being reported. I should but

Starting point is 00:30:40 They are in the middle of an active investigation. I don't want to do anything to screw it up. But I'm also not going to let them take the pressure off. Okay, got it Senator. You did promise transparency earlier in the press conference that you took part in this afternoon. Are you getting the sense that the FBI had been tracking this suspect or are you getting the sense that they perhaps somehow missed this? I can't answer that. I can't answer that but I shouldn't. I'm going to say it again.

Starting point is 00:31:15 We're giving the FBI and Homeland Security a reasonable amount of time to do their job. So that they can prove their worthiness and existence so Cash Patel can't come in and fire everybody and move the remaining to a new building. This is a script gone wrong. Typical FBI bungle. They set a guy up. They want to have IEDs planted everywhere. The guy goes rogue and drives through a bunch of people. This is bull crap. This is your government. I don't believe for a second that this is ISIS inspired. I can't argue with you. Uh, I believe this is the same thing. It was one of the FBI stings that were set up. They expecting you. And I was pushed this button and then we'll arrest you.

Starting point is 00:32:01 But the guy went rogue and fell off the script. I mean, these guys are not that controllable necessarily. And he had a- There's something going on and the rest of this has to be a cover-up. So they're gonna have to cover their tracks. And that's what this is really gonna be about. This guy-

Starting point is 00:32:20 We're assuming this is based on art, by the way, this is no agenda. We've been told about the six-week cycle and it's a very, it's been in play on and off. It doesn't, it's not pure, but it does exist and it's done for budgetary purposes. This Jabar guy. And it goes wrong once in a while. This Jabar guy was flagged, I'm not sure what that means, and barred from re-enlistment between 2014 and 2015 for an incident.

Starting point is 00:32:47 I don't know what that is yet. That would be nice to know. The flag was removed and then he joined the reserves. I think, was this guy also with Fort Hood or the other guy, I think the Vegas guy, another military guy, Matthew Leibesberger, active duty special forces operations sergeant who was on leave from Germany where he was serving with the 10th Special Forces Group. This stinks.

Starting point is 00:33:21 Well, let's go to these clips here and then we'll get something out of it. Maybe, maybe we will, maybe. So let's start with the local reporting. This came out, one of our producers sent this to me. It's better than the NPR stuff I had, so I bounced that and I put this in. This is ISIS because it has this crazy looking commissioner of police of New Orleans. It's some old woman.

Starting point is 00:33:43 Wait, wait, she used to be... She looks like my mom. No, she used to be. She's the lady who was in Oakland, and she mowed down two people herself with her car. That's who that is. Well, that's good to know, but she looks like she's wearing a gray wig.

Starting point is 00:33:58 She looks terrible, and she sounds worse, and she's in this clip, and then I have a follow-up clip with her talking more. I know she's in this clip. And then I have a follow up clip with her talking more. I know she's the Oakland woman. Yes. She just, I don't know what's the story here, but here's the ISIS terrorist. This is the backgrounder and it brings in the commission.

Starting point is 00:34:16 FBI is calling the deadly attack in New Orleans an act of terrorism. Hello everybody, I'm Heather Hayes. The FBI says that suspect who is now dead was 42 year old Shams Sadeen Jabbar, a US citizen and army veteran from the Houston area. They do not believe he acted alone and there's now reportedly surveillance video of other individuals who might be involved. At least 15 people are now confirmed dead, dozens of others injured, including two police

Starting point is 00:34:42 officers who were shot. Fox 4's Stephen Dial in studio now with more, Stephen. The New Orleans police chief says Shamsuddin Jabbar drove onto the sidewalk to get around a police car that was providing security by blocking the vehicle's access to

Starting point is 00:34:57 Bourbon Street. The coroner of Orleans Parish just shared that the death toll has climbed to 15 people. Three hours into the new year, Bourbon Street in New Orleans turned into a massive crime scene. This particular terrorist drove

Starting point is 00:35:13 around onto the sidewalk. The FBI says 42 year old Shamsuddin Jabbar, a US citizen from the Houston area, drove a white pickup truck around a police car blocking traffic and slammed into pedestrians on the crowded street. 15 people were killed, dozens injured. Federal investigators are calling this an act of terrorism.

Starting point is 00:35:35 New Orleans police and all law enforcement is built, we are built for dealing with evil, for dealing with evil, with things that would cause us others to be in fear, but instead our officers and last night NOPD, particular, stood strong. They did not run. They did kill the terrorist. So February 20th, 2020, Oakland Police Commission voted unanimously to fire Kirkpatrick to be fired with cause because the commission's trust in Kirkpatrick was irrevocably broken. This was a big deal. It was a lawsuit and everything over it. This is she's It was a lawsuit and everything over it. This is, she's questionable. I'd say, and then here's the, this is the,

Starting point is 00:36:30 I don't know why I named it number three, because I can't find two. Here she is finishing her little spiel with this nonsense. This city has been tried by fire before, but fire purifies. Fire makes things stronger. We have a plan. We know what to do. We are going to get these people. There is a path forward. No, she's talking about these people now. So she's talking about more than just one.

Starting point is 00:36:59 Not a lone wolf situation if you're talking about these people. This is, this is, oh. Yes, they, because they saw somebody plant some supposed IEDs, two people, a woman and a guy, maybe another guy, and this is, the whole thing is kind of falling apart. So, I, I ended up with, uh, finding these, and I went to PBS and found, uh, Lopez woman had this analyst on. And this guy you'll find to be a little more interesting than the

Starting point is 00:37:29 analyst you had earlier, because this guy's from the council on foreign relations, works with the CIA. Nice. Okay. And he's, and this is super scripted. She reads, she's reading from a script. She can't even, you even, I don't know why they don't put a prompter behind the guy and let her read from that because she keeps looking

Starting point is 00:37:49 down and it's very poorly executed because it was a weekend. So, you know, or it's a holiday. So they had the holiday crew on it. So they had Lopez doing the anchoring and she stinks at it. But here we go. This is Bourbon Street, it is four-parter is Bourbon Street at his four-parter Bourbon Street analysis PBS. For insight into the ongoing terrorism investigation we're joined by Bruce Hoffman senior fellow for counterterrorism and homeland security at the Council on Foreign Relations. He's advised the CIA and has studied terrorism and insurgency for five decades. Bruce thank you so much for joining us this evening.

Starting point is 00:38:25 The suspect was an Army veteran and he had an ISIS flag in his truck, according to authorities. How significant is it that he had that ISIS flag and what else stands out to you? The ISIS flag is enormously significant because it's very clear he was trying to situate this act of violence in a political context indeed in a terrorist context and show allegiance or support of ISIS's aims. Law enforcement has said that they don't believe that the suspect, some sui jim jabbar, was acting alone. So what can we infer so far from what we know about who else might be involved or what this means.

Starting point is 00:39:05 This is what's so alarming about this particular incident is it wasn't just a matter of someone getting in a truck and driving from Texas to Louisiana and carrying out an attack. It's believed that at least two other improvised explosive devices were found in the French quarter of New Orleans and that several other men and a woman have been captured on video planting them there. So this suggests some conspiratorial dimension to the attack which means that this may not be isolated. Right, authorities did say in the last few hours though that they're not sure if that man and woman were involved or connected to the suspect but there's a lot that we still don't know.

Starting point is 00:39:42 And again based on the information that we have so far, how likely is it that the suspect was inspired or directly linked to ISIS? Inspired. Use the inspired word, please. He's a tenured professor at Georgetown University, also the director of RAND's Washington DC office. His bio is quite remarkable. He's very connected. This is the guy you want on a holiday weekend.

Starting point is 00:40:12 Hey, I'm not doing anything. I've got time to do a hit for you, PBS. Now here's an interesting part. It starts to get interesting. This is the second clip. Now I want you to think about, or anyone out there should think about how these things evolve when it comes

Starting point is 00:40:31 to the background information on the person who does these attacks, when they're real. It takes days and days before we know anything. Their posts are usually still up, and they're trying to scrub everything off the internet by the as fast as they can now this took place at 314 I think or 315 in the morning this morning of this report that we're listening to which was probably done in the early afternoon of the same day, which is probably less than 12 hours.

Starting point is 00:41:07 In less than 12 hours, I'd like you to explain to me how this guy knows what he's about to tell us in this short a period of time. Sorry. It's difficult to say. It's clear that he was going through some personal crisis. Ah, he had financial problems. For example, he was recently divorced. He's a recent convert to a religion, for example. All of those things may have played in his

Starting point is 00:41:30 mind of doing something daring, dramatic, and violent that would all of a sudden catapult him into some sort of infamous notoriety. But notoriety nonetheless is opposed to having been a failure at everything else that he's tried. And what we know from the recruitment and radicalization of individuals is that members of terrorist organizations, handlers, play on individuals' personal weaknesses or their personal traumas and attempt to get them to engage in acts of violence that in normal circumstances they might never have contemplated. Oh, this is perfect because all you have to do in your mind is replace ISIS with FBI. I mean, yes, that's exactly what happens. You jack this guy up and then all of a sudden he decides to hang a right and mow everybody

Starting point is 00:42:18 down. That's pretty much what happened. But how does this guy, this guy who's called out of, you know, like you said, what are you doing this weekend? I'm not skiing in Aspen or anything. I've got plenty of time. I'm just hanging around. So he comes on the show with his detailed information about his finances and his divorces and his army experience within a 12-hour slot, time slot, where you just get thrown on there? Come on, people. Yeah. You know, I was talking to Tina about this,

Starting point is 00:42:48 and I said, you know, I immediately said six-week cycle, and I said, but, you know, 15 people died. And she turns to me and says, you know they really don't care about us. The government doesn't care. She says, this is just 15 people. It's a spit in the bucket. And this is my wife who is not like this normally at all.

Starting point is 00:43:08 She's like, hey, look at 9-11. I'm like, okay, all right, simmer down. Well, she's living in Texas too long. Not long enough. I don't believe for a minute that the FBI doesn't care that this guy, if this is what, if our scenario is correct, and I'm assuming it is, that this guy went rogue. Went rogue, went rogue, yeah.

Starting point is 00:43:32 Yeah, I just don't believe that. The same with the kid on the roof at Butler, Pennsylvania. We had the same analysis. The kid decides to go and do it for real instead of getting caught. And by the way, what's with these security barriers? Oh, well, we were going to put those in a few days. Oh, we forgot about that. This whole thing is wrong. But just remember, Inspire Ultimate Mowing Machine 2016-2010. It's like we've got a... Yeah, I'm glad you got that clip from 2016 with this exact same thing. And with President Trump coming in. So let's go to the analysis starts to peter out a little bit here.

Starting point is 00:44:15 So let's go with clip three. I think the biggest question is, was this a broader conspiracy and who are the fellow conspirators and what conceivably might be next I would say secondly It's whether that explosion a very mysterious explosion of a cyber truck outside of a trombone Las Vegas is in any way connected to this event as well. It seems odd that two electric vehicles What two electric vehicles the Ford was not an electric vehicle Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Wow, this guy is read in and flubs it. He's read in and flubbed it. Wow. That was a flub.

Starting point is 00:45:09 That's a big flub. It was a big flub and it cracked me up when he said it. Wow. They're both electric vehicles. It wasn't a Ford Lightning, was it? No, it was a, no, it was a, you can see the truck. I saw photos of it. It was a Ford F-150. Yeah, it was a, no, it was a, you can see the truck. I saw photos of it as a Ford F-150. Yeah, it didn't look like it.

Starting point is 00:45:28 It wasn't a 350, which he would have used if he could have rented one from, you know, using the Inspire magazine. Wait a minute, the troll room is saying, yes, Ford F-150 Lightning, really? I don't think, look, let's look at the practical, hold on. Let's look at the practicality of renting an electric truck in Houston and then driving it to New Orleans.

Starting point is 00:45:51 Well then they would be able to track that through every Tesla charging station, which we did hear about the Cybertruck. I'm just not buying that it was... Now if it was electric, then that's the first gut then then It makes it even more interesting that why would he be the only guy that reported that? And he's why is he even reporting anything because he's an analyst. He's supposed to come on it. Here it is Here it is, New Orleans terrorist suspect used Ford Lightning

Starting point is 00:46:22 Wow So this guy knew this already and he links it to two electric vehicles. What does that have to do with the price of matzah? You and your matzah. Say it on purpose. Let me listen to this guy again. Let's start that clip over.

Starting point is 00:46:36 I think the biggest question is was this a broader conspiracy and who are the fellow conspirators and what conceivably might be next? I would say secondly, it's whether that explosion a very mysterious explosion of a cyber truck outside of a Trump-owned hotel in Las Vegas is in any way connected to this event as well. It seems odd that two electric vehicles are involved in explosions on the same day. Wow, wait a minute, this was not involved in an explosion. He says two electric vehicles not involved in an explosion.

Starting point is 00:47:09 He says two electric vehicles were involved in an explosion. No. One exploded. One killed people on Bourbon Street. By ramming. Yeah. Do you have a fourth clip for this guy or is it just three? No, that's it. It ends there because it's just, there's nothing else. Let me play this. This is the thing. He was read in. This was scripted. When you saw it, when you got to watch it visually, you can see the scripting. It's actually much better in audio than it is in video because in video it just looks like a rehearsal.

Starting point is 00:47:41 Hold on a second. Stop. So, back to our thesis I like this back to when we pull this clip up again. This this guy is good don't hear this again, so back to our thesis that the Bourbon Street mowing machine went rogue. He had IEDs in the truck perhaps the plan was to have two IEDs in the truck. Perhaps the plan was to have two IEDs explode in electric vehicles because that's what this guy is saying.

Starting point is 00:48:12 He says, gee, isn't it coincidence that you have two electric vehicles exploding on the same day? That might have been the original plan before the Bourbon Street mowing machine went rogue. Listen this last bit again from this guy. Outside of a Trump owned hotel in Las Vegas is in any way connected to this event as well. It seems odd that two electric vehicles are involved in explosions on the same day. Oh he had the old script. He didn't realize the script had changed. Why would you say that? There was no explosion on Bourbon Street. Now, maybe it was planned.

Starting point is 00:48:51 I like the idea of being the old script because he obviously knows too much. For a guy who was just dragged out of bed, remembering again, this took place six to 12 hours just before this guy shows up in the studio as the, as the superstar expert with connections to the CIA and connections to the council and foreign relations and being, and doing this for 50 years. This guy's seventies, isn't it? Seventies. So he's been a terrorism expert for 50 years.

Starting point is 00:49:20 So he's the go-to guy and he'd be dragged out of bed. I'm going to use that, I just like it. Because it's a holiday. Being dragged out of bed and then put in front of the camera and he has all this information and he's just and he's reciting it. And when you watch the two of these interchanges, Lopez and this guy, it just looks rehearsed as hell. And then we have this connection that everybody made, including our president. A blast that in seconds turned this Tesla cyber truck into a ball of flames. Parked outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, it is now a charred carcass of a vehicle.

Starting point is 00:49:57 Investigators are looking into whether the explosion was an act of organized terrorism. Elon Musk, Tesla CEO and a strong supporter of President-elect Donald Trump confirmed online that explosives and fireworks were found in the bed of the truck and that the vehicle's data seemed normal prior to the blast. The timing of the incident is also of concern for investigators, as it occurred just hours after a car rammed into revelers in New Orleans. President Biden said an investigation is ongoing, but that no link had been found between the two events. The intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there's any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans. Thus far

Starting point is 00:50:36 there's nothing to report on that score at this time. The investigation did find that both vehicles were rented on the same car-sharing site, Turo. In a statement, Turo said it was working with law enforcement. A troubling coincidence or linked events? Las Vegas' sheriff also confirmed that they do not believe the two attacks were the work of a major terrorist organization. Yeah, so the question is, is there any links to ISIS? And I will tell you that we don't have any indication of that here in Las Vegas. No overt ISIS flag as we're seeing in New Orleans. But again, we are investigating every aspect of this. And if that comes to light, we'll certainly update you.

Starting point is 00:51:14 With the area under tight security, the FBI said the driver of the rented Tesla died in the blast. A reminder that we had a so-called terrorist attack also set up by FBI with Omar Mateen of the Pulse nightclub in Florida in 2016 when Trump just came in. This is what these crazy people do. Oh yeah, let's make ourselves really relevant for the president coming in. We got terrorists, ISIS in America everybody. It's disgusting. And they do the same

Starting point is 00:51:47 script. They forget that the No Agenda Show has the clips. We have your clips. That's troubling. It's quite annoying. And then you get these poor innocents that just get killed. I have the Trump casino incident NTD clip. This is part of this, this is how the NTD reports on the casino explosion at the Trump hotel in Vegas. Over in Las Vegas, one person was killed and seven more were injured when a Tesla cyber truck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel earlier today. Just a warning, some viewers may find the following footage disturbing due to its graphic nature. Authorities say

Starting point is 00:52:35 the car caught fire in the valet area of the hotel around 840 a.m. local time. A person died inside the vehicle. Seven bystanders received minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment. Police are investigating the incident as a possible act of terror. No cause was given and

Starting point is 00:52:55 details remain scarce. This is a developing story and we'll keep you updated. You know, Musk came out with a tweet about the initial, you know, there's Brunetti sent some notes around, you got one that he believes it was fireworks that this guy was hauling around and blow up locally,

Starting point is 00:53:17 which you can do. But if it was a, if it said it was a bomb or anything, which must kind of thinks there was, and he was bragging about the strong sides of the Tesla truck as so rugged and well-built that the explosion could only go up. Yes. And it couldn't go out to the sides and do any damage, and he pointed out that even the

Starting point is 00:53:39 windows of the doors right there weren't even broken. This whole thing is just, I think the initial thesis that this is a botched operation. And then we need to add this little ditty to it. To some breaking news now. The FBI arresting a Virginia man earlier this month after finding what prosecutors describe as the largest seizure of homemade explosives in bureau history. In court documents, prosecutors say Brad Kenneth Spafford is an extreme danger to the community and they're trying to keep him in jail.

Starting point is 00:54:12 They say he had a stockpile of more than 150 pipe bombs with some preloaded into a wearable vest. Let's get right to our Ken Delaney. And Ken, what is Spafford charged with right now? What else did investigators say they found? As of now, Valerie, he's only charged with illegally possessing a short barreled unregistered rifle. But it seems pretty clear they're planning more charges.

Starting point is 00:54:34 They were arguing to this federal judge that he should not be released on bond because he's a danger to the community. Not only because they recovered that massive cache of explosives, but because he appears to be an anti-government extremist. They said that he was using pictures of President Biden for target practice, and he talked to a neighbor about bringing back political assassinations. So he appears to have some very extreme beliefs and the federal government wants him behind bars.

Starting point is 00:55:01 That's where he is right now while a judge considers the evidence, Valor. Yeah, of course, we don't know much about this case, but I do like the idea of incarcerating him for the thought crime. Because that's basically what it is. You know, what's up with these? Do they really have IEDs in a vest? I mean, this is all sketchy details at this point, but the only- Yeah, it sounds like it's very poorly organized, I mean it was he shooting at target target practicing at Biden I mean really what that's a leap probably according to the neighbor according to the neighbor according to the neighbor probably okay and then here's the lawyer and Ken what is his

Starting point is 00:55:37 lawyer saying about all of this well his lawyer is pushing back strongly against the idea that he's a danger to the community. He hasn't spoken specifically to the seizures of explosives, but he's saying that the idea that this man is dangerous and an anti-government extremist is overblown and concocted and there's no evidence of that. No evidence. Initially, a judge ruled that he could be released with electronic monitoring, but the prosecutors urge that judge to reconsider and he remains behind bars at this hour. Yeah, at this hour, because he's good for the story. It's good for everybody to get all spun up and all excited about it

Starting point is 00:56:12 Yeah Well, there you go lone wolf with the lone wolf were back or is it? We have an actual we have the low we have an eye we Lone Wolf, or we have an actual, we have the Lone Wolf. We got this, we use this Lone Wolf howl for the first time in 2011. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so you know, we've been down this path so many times. Oh, we have stories. We have.

Starting point is 00:56:47 We have. We have. We have. We have. We have. We have. We have. We have.

Starting point is 00:56:54 We have. We have. We have. We have. We have. We have. . Isis.

Starting point is 00:57:02 Isis in America, everybody. That's right. That's the whole point. Just keep thinking that ISIS in America so Changing topics but not changing complete topics. I do have this musk clip as we talked about musk Because it confirms your well, I think we both agree on this but oh, yeah I love I love my my timeline. People are like, yo man, Curry was right. He was right. Curry's been talking about this for years. Curry's been talking about it for years, but Musk has been talking about it longer. I know. That's where Curry got it from. Yeah, exactly.

Starting point is 00:57:44 The CEO of social media platform, X, formerly known as Twitter teasing XTV, X money and more in 2025. wants to be in everything app. X CEO Linda Yekaterino posted 2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible. X TV X money grok and more. Buckle up, happy new year. The X app is gonna be the way you manage your life. I mean, that's what Elon's really got envisioned for it.

Starting point is 00:58:13 Business consultant, Bob Bilbruck says many forget that Elon Musk was behind PayPal, so he's very familiar with mobile payments. No, we don't forget that. It'll be like click and go. Click and go. Click and click and buy. Click and buy? Every message, every tweet will have the ability to be monetized. And obviously that's the big secret sauce here. Musk has talked about heavily disrupting finance. He told employees back in 2023, if it involves

Starting point is 00:58:38 money, it'll be on our platform. You won't need a bank account. In 2022, he told employees that X could potentially disrupt the traditional financial system, which he calls complex and expensive. Saying a person has a checking account, a savings account, or some bank CDs and a money market account and a credit card situation. Musk suggested that if you can have one balance on Twitter that can simply go positive or negative, giving you a better interest rate when positive than what you could receive elsewhere and a better lower interest rate when negative, you've got a much simpler system. They're going to assassinate Musk someday. The banking industry is not going to take this lightly. No.

Starting point is 00:59:19 That's a good point. The banking industry, yes. Well, if anyone's seen the movie, a good movie, I would recommend go check it out. It's very funny. Well, not funny, but it's kind of, it's interesting. It's called The International. Ah, it's a great movie. Isn't that with, what's the, what's that actor's name?

Starting point is 00:59:35 Well, people in the, in the troll room will come up with the actor's name, but it's a tremendous film and it's about... Clyboan, Clyboan, Clyboan. That's who it is. Yeah, Clyboan. It's a very, it's about... Clive Owen, Clive Owen, that's who it is. Yeah, Clive Owen. It's a very, it's just a terrific film for people that... BCCI, right? The bank? Pretty much, yeah. BCCI. Yeah. Well, since we're talking about digital money,

Starting point is 00:59:58 Fifi Lagarde came out. She is, of course, convicted of crimes in France, but doesn't matter. That's why she went from the International Monetary Fund to the President, the boss over there at the European Central Bank, the Federal Reserve, if you will, of the European Union. And she wished everybody a happy 2025. You know, things are great. Of course, things are great. It's going to be even better. And just wait. I want to wish all of you a happy new year. Happy, healthy, prosperous 2025. So we have a big heavy agenda at the ECB. We have made significant progress in 2024 in bringing down inflation. Ask my daughter about that inflation that you brought down. And hopefully 25 is the year when we are on target as expected and as planned in our strategy.

Starting point is 01:00:51 Of course we will continue our efforts to ensure that that inflation stabilizes sustainably at that 2% medium term target. We will also be reviewing our monetary policy strategy. Why do we do that? Yes, why do you do that? I thought you already did that. Just did that in 21. Well, we're doing it to ensure that it still fits the changing world in which we live. Uh-huh. And that... This is changing fast.

Starting point is 01:01:16 Oh, yeah. Now here it comes. Here comes the money shot! ...are fit for 25 and following. Another significant development on the horizon is our digital euro. We are in the preparation phase and we are expecting, we are expecting European legislation. Once that is done we will decide whether we move forward with developing a digital form of cash. Your digital euro. Your digital, she's already doing the slogan, your digital euro. Your digital, she's already doing the slogan, your digital euro. Don't worry, it's coming, Europe. And you know, we are also working on banknotes.

Starting point is 01:01:51 We are in the process of redesigning our banknotes. This is interesting. The long-standing exercise that will not be completed in 25, but significant moves will take place with the design phase. It reflects a commitment to innovation while also preserving the trust and security that our currency represents, both in banknote form and in digital form. So when you say talk about the security in banknote form, I'm thinking yes, Plastic, embedded with some kind of tracking mechanism, guarantee that she's crazy.

Starting point is 01:02:26 Those people are crazy. Well, she is crazy, but I don't think you can make that work. Well, I'm just hearing what she's saying. All you have to do, okay. And you think you must. So you got a bunch of plastic bills. They're either good or they're bad. You take the bill and you put it in the microwave

Starting point is 01:02:41 and give it about 15 seconds. That'll blow out anything in there that's a circuit. Yeah, but then it won't be valid currency when you go to pay. No, it will be. There's no way they could invalidate the currency for that happening because that could happen by accident. What are you talking about? This is exactly what's going to happen. I'm holding a bill that says 20 euros. You give me my money. And the way the new cash registers work is you hold up the bill against the little censor

Starting point is 01:03:06 And it says okay. This is that bill we know who has that bill you have if that's the case You don't need bills at all. You might as well have it embedded in the palm of your hand. They yes Well, hello. Hello mark of the beast. Thank you for taking us there in the palm of your hand exactly And do you think that Fifi's to let Elon use X money in Europe? I don't think so. There's no way. In communist China, yeah, of course you can use the, the, the everything app. In Europe, communist Europe, you got to use the digital euro, my brother.

Starting point is 01:03:43 That's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. Well, it's not going to happen for whatever reason. Well, that digital euro is coming. I believe that. I fully believe that's happening. Well, yeah, they're going to try. They ever want to do these things. Fully believe that's happening.

Starting point is 01:03:58 Fully believe it. Of course, we have our own fun here in the United States. We've been tracking this for over a decade on the show. Let's start with some of these new travel requirements that are supposed to be coming in 2025. And one of them we've been talking about, it feels like for about 20 years. We have literally, right? But TSA says 2025 is the year we're going to get real y'all, as in the real ID. We're going to get real y'all. Sure. May? Come on. I'll bring it when I see it. You gotta be, if you're 18 and up, May 7th, bring a real ID to travel domestically in

Starting point is 01:04:30 the U.S. This is part of an effort to make sure everything is secure federally. If you do not have a real ID, you can use your passport. But here's what it looks like. You may already have one. Maybe the last time you renewed your driver's license, it has a little star at the top. There you go, in the upper right-hand corner. That's how you know if you have a real ID. Check your state DMV for how to do it. Now, if you are going to the United Kingdom, this is real and it's happening next week, January 8th. You have to have an electronic travel authorization, an ETA for travel in the United Kingdom. I know. I know. What does that mean? I know. It's like, it's instead of a visa. What do you know? And it means that it's good for two years and you can go where you need to go in the

Starting point is 01:05:06 UK, but you need to get on and figure that out because they're not going to let you go to the UK without. The other thing that you're going to need if you're traveling to Europe, 30 countries, including places like France, Germany, Spain, is this ETIAS, the European Travel Information Authorization System. Money gouge. That day technically is TBD, but it's for 2025. You have to pay seven euros and then that puts you into the system. Money gouge. That day technically is TBD, but it's for 2025. You have to pay 7 euros and then that puts you into the system.

Starting point is 01:05:28 You register online and that will allow you to travel to 30 European countries and territories. So in reverse order that it's the European version of our ESTA. About what? ESTA, I think it's called ESTA, E-E-S-T-A. If you're coming from Europe, you have to pay, I think it's $7 maybe funny enough, and have an ESTA. It's like a visa, you do it online. And now they're saying, oh, you got to do it for us too, Americans.

Starting point is 01:05:55 You want to come over here? It's like when you go to Japan, you have to pay to get out of the country. Yes, that's right, with cash. Exit these passes. With cash. Yeah, with cash. You have to pay with cash. I know.

Starting point is 01:06:06 It's like, oh, do you have any bills? Oh, can't let you out. Yeah, you got to do that when you leave. And of course, the real ID. This is just, but you're right. This is just the gouge. Yeah. It's just like nickel and diming the traveling public.

Starting point is 01:06:17 The real ID. This is the same, by the way, the same gouging, which has been taking, took over the hotel business with all these phony baloney fees. It's taken over the the hotel business with all these phony baloney fees it's taken over the rental car business with all these phony baloney fees there's fees for parking the reparking the car back in the lot there's a fee there's a fee for for the rental asphalt there's a fee I mean it says there's nineteen dollars a day but it ends up being fifty dollars a day because of all these fees. This is unbelievable that this is continuing at this clip. Then the Real ID, of course, that is just to solidify.

Starting point is 01:06:54 Let me stop you there again. When we started following the Real ID story, which was over 10 years ago, there was an outcry amongst the conservatives in particular and the Republicans and everybody. Oh my god they're trying to track us all. They just wanted, there's just a way of maintaining the control of the public and they went and there was a big fuss about it. And no one was buying it. Now all of a sudden it's fine. What changed? Oh yeah, well what changed is that when you go through TSA,

Starting point is 01:07:26 they take your driver's license and now it will be certified, it is in Texas with a real ID, and that means the picture we have on you which will expedite your journey with facial recognition will be all certified. This is already here. The test they did is already grandfathered in. It's not a test, they just went through it. Going to Europe and back, it's all facial recognition. All of it, it's here. And it's all going up to Starlink.

Starting point is 01:08:00 Elon has control of all of it. It's Elon. It's not going up to Starlink. It's all going up to Starlink. That will be the only internet you can get. There's the Texas, the Fredericksburg coming out of you every so... Pretty soon you're going to be gone, you know that. I'll be toast. You'll be toast. Not quite as toasty as the Cuomo kid who did a new year's prediction for 2025 that I think we need to

Starting point is 01:08:28 listen to because you know, it's Chris Cuomo. Let's be honest, the guy knows what he's talking about. Oh, I hope 2025 is everything you wanted it to be. How do we know? We just started. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo project. I'm going to do something that I don't really ever do.

Starting point is 01:08:45 Make predictions. And I'm bringing in for the help with this segment, the one and only, the inimitable, the new daddy, Mr. Greg Ott, not real name, my producer. Okay, I've got a prediction. Number one, the pod scape is going to change. The pod scape is going to change, John. I think we should pay attention.

Starting point is 01:09:06 The podscape... I didn't know there was a podscape, but okay. It's news to me as well, but it's now the podscape. And the people who were at the top last year will not be at the top all of this year. Uh-oh, uh-oh. The podscape is changing. This is pertinent to the podcast. This is a podcast you're presumably watching.

Starting point is 01:09:29 Here's what has happened. Okay, now, money rushing. He says okay more than anybody else in broadcast. He does, he does. He also does the why, he does that a lot too. He does the why, he does the why. Why, because I got no one to ask me why, I'm just going to say why.

Starting point is 01:09:45 Okay. Now, money rushed into the pod space and tons of- Now it's pod space. What happened to Podscape? I like Podscape. What happened to Podscape? I like Podscape. Don't do Podspace.

Starting point is 01:09:55 Okay. Now, money rushed into the pod space and tons of big and bad deals were made in the last five years. That money has dried up. There's an aphorism in investing. You never want to be first dollar in. First dollar in got killed. People were given a lot of money for their podcasts and people have gone broke. They've been bad deals.

Starting point is 01:10:23 Kind of like what happened. Who went broke? Who went broke over this? Did Spotify go broke? No. They spent a billion dollars poorly, but they didn't go broke. Did Amazon go broke over hiring those numb nuts with the, what is there, the podcast that has the presidents on all the time. No. That has it. I don't listen to these podcasts. All right. Nobody got went broke hiring Alex Cooper's

Starting point is 01:10:52 the other big moneymaker. No. And Gimlet got bought out, but that was by Spotify. Who went broke? Nobody. I mean, Gimlet got closed down after they got bought out. So how'd you go broke? You get here, here's a hundred million dollars.

Starting point is 01:11:04 Oh, and all we have to shut you down. Okay. Well, okay. so how'd you go broke? You get here, here's $100 million. Oh, and we have to shut you down. Okay. Okay, you going broke? You got $100 million. Give me a break. Okay. Dollar in. First Dollar in got killed.

Starting point is 01:11:14 People were given a lot of money for their podcasts, and people have gone broke. They've been bad deals. Let me just check. Joe, are you broke? Are you broke, Joe? Joe, are you broke? Joe says he's not broke.

Starting point is 01:11:25 Kind of like what happened when Sirius thought that having Howard Stern would make them like a household thing hasn't happened. Just made him really rich. But it's not like Sirius is everywhere now, right? They're just mainly in like rental cars. Second dollar in with the Podscape. With this election, people now know that you can get bang for your buck and you can get reach and resonance and I'm telling you on the right and On the anti institutional side you're gonna do a lot better than Joe Rogan and his merry band of you know

Starting point is 01:12:00 Cut-rate comedians. Okay, so now Chris Cuomo is saying that Joe Rogan cut-rate comedians. Okay, so now Chris Cuomo is saying that Joe Rogan, I'm going to defend Joe a little bit here, who in the week before the election had President Trump on, had Vice President-elect JD Vance, had Vivek on, had, what's his face, Elon Musk, that he is just a merry band of comedians? That's what you're saying, Chris Cuomo? Okay, who is going to usurp this top spot? And I'm not saying that those guys will disappear. Can you stop for a second? Yeah. There's a, I was noticing this,

Starting point is 01:12:34 there is a, the left has been talking about this. Cuomo is actually, Cuomo is, despite his trying to be neutral, is still influenced greatly by the left. He is invited to the dinner parties. He goes to eat. Yes. The talk of the town is what we've got to do to fix our messaging, because they don't see that their messages are just bad.

Starting point is 01:13:01 The Trans Agenda and all the other crap they come up with. Trans Maoist. Trans Maoist. Trans Maoist, the defund the police, they still don't get any of it. They still think this is all good if they could sell it. The problem is that they can't message it right. And so one of the things you hear over and over and over again is all we need to do, and we can do this, we can do it, is we need a left-wing Joe Rogan. Yes and thank you very much because you are ahead of my clips here but that's good because that is exactly what

Starting point is 01:13:33 Chris Cuomo is talking about and I'm sure he will be a part of it and I can also tell you who is going to be doing it and Chris Cuomo. Before you continue I have one more little addition to this. This is the same way they were thinking when Rush Limbaugh hit the scene is starting at 87, they said, all we needed to do was do a left-wing version of Rush Limbaugh and they came up with Air America. And Rachel Maddow. And Rachel Maddow, who did, she did survive. Yes.

Starting point is 01:14:03 Oh, well, let's see who is going to be part of this new leaders of the Podscape. And I'm not saying that those guys will disappear, but you're going to see better, bigger talent come in. Like what? Like what? He even asked like what? He's interviewing himself. This is so good.

Starting point is 01:14:22 I'm just going to do that. Tina I love you. Why? Well let me tell you why. This is amazing. A bigger talent come in. Like what? A guy like a Bill Burr.

Starting point is 01:14:36 Lefty. Bill Burr. Lefty. Oh sorry. I went nuts. I went nuts. I went nuts. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:14:44 Bill Burr, Lefty. Is gonna get enticed into that space. A guy like Louis CK. Bill Burr. Lefty, Lefty, these are leftist comedians. CK. Bill Burr has a podcast. But I'm saying, ramping it up,

Starting point is 01:14:58 that there's gonna be money that puts it into a sphere. Money, money. Where he's sitting with major people, as opposed to it just being an end. That's what I'm saying. Instead of it just being like an end to what Bill Burr does, it's going to be his thing. Okay? Stephen A. Smith is going to explode on the landscape.

Starting point is 01:15:17 I don't know who, do you know Stephen? Stephen A. Smith? Stephen A. Smith's the black guy that is a sportscaster who's, who's, who's a lefty, but he's actually more variety recently. He's actually going toward Trump and he's on the Mark Levin TV show on Fox all the time as his buddy. But if someone gave him enough money, he would go right back to being lefty. I'm just guessing.

Starting point is 01:15:41 Well, that may or may not be true, but Stephen A Smith is one of those personalities that you only take so much of he's good. Mm-hmm, but he's not Tolerable over you can't just know I'm not no none of these people are gonna do what Joe Rogan does. He's full of shit Okay, you're right. But let's continue Stephen a Smith is going to explode on the landscape of conversation. Oh, so clearly we already know something. There's a deal has already been done with Stephen A Smith. Okay. Okay.

Starting point is 01:16:12 And again, no disrespect to Rogan. Okay. Okay. We're never going to get through these questions. And again, no disrespect to Rogan. You must give him his props for building a platform. Good for him. But now you're going to have better talent in a platform. Good for him. But now you're gonna have better talent

Starting point is 01:16:26 in that space. Okay. Okay. He's gonna now the better talent in that space, which is the pod space also knows the pod scape. The whole time he's talking, I'm seeing behind Cuomo, a beautiful YouTube award, a beautiful YouTube award, which you get for being beautiful on YouTube. And now in this final clip, it all unrolls for me at least, because I've been tracking this push for a long time. Google, aka YouTube, is going to be financing a whole-air America of podcasting comedians on video. And Chris Cuomo knows about it. He knows what's going down,

Starting point is 01:17:08 and I think he's gonna be part of it. It's in, just to piggyback on that, this came out recently that more people are watching podcasts now on YouTube, and you've been doing this. This podcast dropped first on YouTube. You, from the beginning, were like... So the producer sets him up for it.

Starting point is 01:17:22 Hey, let's put myself on the line. The producer's in on it. Of course he's put myself online. People want to see me. Of course he's in on it. So he sets it up. Oh, this is a money grab. Good for them. Yeah. Just to piggyback on that, this came out recently that more people are watching podcasts now

Starting point is 01:17:35 on YouTube and you've been doing- Which by the way is patently not true, but okay. This podcast- And wait, stop. You would know. I would know. Thank you. You are the expert that never gets consulted on these matters and I bring this

Starting point is 01:17:49 up all the time because it's a, it's kind of a thorn in both of our claws. More yours. Well, I'm the one who keeps bringing it up cause you don't want to, but I'll bring it up. You are never consulted on this, even though you're responsible largely for the platform even existing There you go enough said enough said they're watching podcasts now on YouTube and you've been doing this this podcast Dropped first on YouTube you from the beginning were like hey Myself online people want to see me and hear me so it's like, you know one product in one

Starting point is 01:18:20 But it's the confluence is interesting to me. I'm sorry They want to see me and hear me. What is this? They don't necessarily want to see you or anybody. I don't even like looking at Cuomo. This is the marketing. This is the marketing. And by the way, Spotify tried to get in on this action and they've so far failed to launch

Starting point is 01:18:42 properly for a whole bunch of reasons, but they know that YouTube is doing this push and I guarantee you there's going to be big money from Google slash YouTube going to lefty, leftist, if not complete left wing, they're going to do Air America on YouTube and YouTube doesn't have an audio platform, they have a video platform and this is what they're doing. Hey, let's put myself online.

Starting point is 01:19:05 People want to see me and hear me, so it's like one product in one, but the confluence is interesting to me of like, this thing you used to listen to, it's like, well, it's quite easy to get a setup in your house like this and broadcast in a very DIY way, and people are now, especially a lot of the YouTube stats are more people are watching things on their televisions,

Starting point is 01:19:24 and thus, you sit down and watch a show it's Kind of relation talk shows we talked about this before but like yeah That's also bull crap prediction 1a is You will see mergers in Stream platforms. Okay rumble rumble get ready to be bought I went to YouTube early because I believe video kills the radio

Starting point is 01:19:47 What he's saying he believes video killed the radio star I Went to YouTube early because I believe video kills the radio store No, you went to YouTube early because you're in on this complete gambit good for you, by the way Good for you people want to see more than they want to listen. I'm not telling you not to listen. Look, it's not my thing. I do an audio book every now and then. I'd rather read, but I want to see why. Because I'm a visual learner,

Starting point is 01:20:14 and you take so much more in from people when you're actually seeing them. Yes, the way people listen to podcasts on YouTube is the YouTube app with it closed in their pocket while it's playing. That is the true numbers. People are listening to them on YouTube. That's what happens. Do you want to watch it with Trump? Yeah, you probably want to watch it with Trump. But what he's saying here is not true. He's parroting the exact YouTube propaganda slash marketing. They've been rolling out for the past three years at conferences everywhere there's podcasts oh you got a cup is you gotta have video without videos nothing people want to see it this is the big YouTube push

Starting point is 01:20:53 obviously reading let me stop again so this commentary that video killed the radio star it only refers to it refers to... MTV. It refers to the Buggles. It refers to radio drama and radio, anything that was radio pre-87 when radio took over the talk show game on the right. The right wingers all figured it out that that radio yakkers on radio yak, yak, yakkers and the call-in shows Were replaced the old radio video has not

Starting point is 01:21:33 Replaced those guys when Rush Limbaugh tried to do TV. He did it two or three times I remember I remember it was horrible and it turned out that Rush Limbaugh were talking for three hours Horrible. And it turned out that Rush Limbaugh, we were talking for three hours, three hours a day every day was much more effective. Just pure audio. And so the nonsense that video killed.

Starting point is 01:21:57 And he made $400 million a year with that radio program. $400 million a year. He was making a lot of money and he did get a $400 million dollar deal. I don't know if it was per year. I don't know. Yes, it was. I had the same syndicators. I know what they were doing. He was making plenty of money.

Starting point is 01:22:12 And the point is that the video has never killed that aspect of it. When it comes to talking, the talk show format, you don't want video. It doesn't work. All right, 21 seconds left left we can do it. Obviously reading them texts you get the least context the least feel hearing their voice you get more but seeing them and hearing them so this is YouTube this is YouTube's marketing to me it's a no-brainer but what you will see prediction 1a is consolidation in platforms because the problem right now

Starting point is 01:22:44 is there are too many different places that you have to go and you need to monetize and they are going to start buying each other up. Yeah. Okay. YouTube is going on a buying spree. They're doing exactly what Spotify did, which by the way, I think will be a mistake. They will have exclusives to YouTube and it's going to be these comedians that you just heard.

Starting point is 01:23:04 Chris Cuomo will have a part of, he may even have a network deal, you know, so-called Chris Cuomo Truth Network or whatever. Of course, Google's in with the Democrat Party. They're in on it. No, they're Democrats is the point. They're Democrats. They're Democrats.

Starting point is 01:23:22 Big time and they're propagandistic Democrats. But I'm going to tell you that this will not work. This is a flawed strategy. We already can tell this, yeah. But I want to mention something. I don't think Chris Cuomo going on and on about theorizing about podcasting when he's been a broadcaster all his life is so loaded with bull crap. He's just full of it.

Starting point is 01:23:44 He doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't. Oh, man. It's great, though. It's great. So he's in on it. He's in on the YouTube deal. And I'm pretty sure, not financial advice,

Starting point is 01:24:01 but I would think Rumble would be bought up. I don't think Brighteon is on deck for a, for an acquisition, but this is, it's shoot, bitch shoot. This is exactly what, um, what Spotify did and, uh, it's flawed. And, and the, why it's flawed. Why? I'm gonna start doing that. I don't need you anymore. It's flawed. Why? It's flawed because people are already burning out on the format. The format that Joe Rogan solidified, and Joe still does well, is now Lex Friedman, it's Theo Vaughn. It's going to go on and on and on and on, and people get

Starting point is 01:24:40 tired of the guests. They get tired. There's only so much room in people's lives for a three-hour conversation. And the format... Yeah, Rogan owns that space. I think he does, yes. And he's got a great interviewing style because it's super casual, it's down to earth, he's got this chops to do it, he knows what he's doing, he keeps the conversation moving, he seems inquisitive in a way that I think the public feels the same way he does when he has his inquisitive style or his inquisitive questioning. He's got that locked down. He's not going anywhere.

Starting point is 01:25:17 No. And these other guys are just trying to, you know, everyone wants to be the next Joe Rogan. No, you got Joe Rogan. Be the next something else. Well, but I mean, you know from history that they want to have the Rush Limbaugh on the left. They want the Joe Rogan of the left. They thought it was, it was call her daddy, massive fail. But they put all Alex does is talk about blowjobs.

Starting point is 01:25:42 If you've ever listened to her show, she's preoccupied with it. I don't. Actually, I don't listen to her show. Well, I have. And just because I look for those little end of show clips, which I collect, and she's got the right voice for it. And her old partner, Sophia, with an F, who actually does a better show than Alex does because she's not, I mean,'re both these girls are perverted but

Starting point is 01:26:05 Which makes it kind of interesting I think a lot of comedians need to think long and hard about what they do between now and the kickoff of this new Network, I don't know what they're going to call it, but it will be the the YouTube We'll just call it Air America on YouTube Whitney Cummings as an example, who I think is a fine comedienne. She blew all her chances during the New Year's Eve coverage by CNN, which is basically two gay guys and a ball dropping. It's Anderson Cooper. And also that big ball in Times Square. Yes, exactly. So she roasted 2024 and here's what she said, very short.

Starting point is 01:26:45 2024 election fried our brains. The Democrats couldn't hold a primary because they were too busy holding a body upright. Are we still rolling? Am I off? Go for it. It was amazing that the pro-choice party didn't give their voters one when it came to the presidential candidate. Kamala was forced on us so hard you'd think she was padded by Pfizer or Moderna,

Starting point is 01:27:06 whichever one's, oh God. Andy just gave me a very scary look. No! Oh! She's disinvited from the party. Ha ha ha. A little disparaging comment about Pfizer you're done. About Pfizer, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Starting point is 01:27:21 I mean, no, I think you kind of ruined your chances there. Well, she's out of the party circuit. Yes, she is. So anyway, that's what we have to look forward to for 2025. It's going to be a hootenanny. It's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be great. It's going to be great.

Starting point is 01:27:38 Oh, it's not. And so when do we do? There's going to be a lot of similar shows competing with each other for the same guests and the same talking points. And it's going to be, it's like shows competing with each other for the same guests and the same talking points. It's like those giant networks. These guys set them up and there's one show after another and nobody listens to any of them because they're all basically the same format.

Starting point is 01:27:54 They're dumb. Yes, they are. It's completely dumb. The whole thing is dumb. Oh man. Take us somewhere else, John. Let's do something else. Why? Because I asked you. Why?

Starting point is 01:28:06 Since it's New Year's, I do have a couple of New Year's things. This is all over the place. Oh. Have you heard about the Comari method? The Comari? Comari method? No. Condimari. Con-M-A-R-I method. No. No. No. It's in Good Housekeeping. It's in every magazine. This is the big thing for 2025.

Starting point is 01:28:28 It's a cleaning method, which appeals to me at least in basis because it has like, oh, well maybe I can clean up my office. And it's a big deal for 2025. The work in play, I have two clips, one longer than the other, but this introduces it, the Konmari method.

Starting point is 01:28:47 And there's no time like the start of any year to finally organize your home. The Konmari method of home organizing just might be what you need to put your home in order once and for all. The simple methodology created by Japanese Tiding Guru, Marikondo, asks homemakers to sort through every individual item they own. You figure out whether or not each one brings you joy, determining what to keep and how to store it. Condo recommends doing this by category, beginning with clothing, then books, paperwork, miscellaneous items, and finally, mementos. Entities Chris Beers wanted to find out what it's like to actually do this, so he met with film history teacher David Grotto, who did the KonMari method

Starting point is 01:29:25 with the help of a KonMari consultant. Okay, this is a repackaging of Marie Kondo's method, which has been around for years. This is not new. It's really been repopular, right? You're right, repackaged. It's not new. And by the way, if I may,

Starting point is 01:29:40 the Marie Kondo method of packing your suitcase is one that my wife, the keeper, follows. And it's a very interesting method. Please explain. It consists of rolling everything up. You roll things up into a tube. And again, she is the best packer. This is what attracted me to her.

Starting point is 01:30:05 She is one of the best packers in the universe. That's how she got the nickname that I gave her. That's correct. That's how she got the keeper because she can pack a suitcase. I have arguments with my wife, my beautiful Tina Marie, every single time. We go to Europe. She says, well, I want to get into one suitcase,

Starting point is 01:30:22 but there's a lot. I said, well, can we take two suitcases? No, I don't want to have a suitcase that is half full. She literally has a problem with packing a suitcase half full. She wants to try and get it all into one. Is that good for her? It's amazing. I mean, I said, if you've ever traveled with somebody who over packs, we're paying for

Starting point is 01:30:42 two. I said, we're paying for two suitcases. We can take two. It's prepaid. You should put an online advertisement. You'll be shipping goods. And you can use the second suitcase for products. For product and profit.

Starting point is 01:30:59 All right, the KonMari method. We go to clip. So the KonMari method, which is outlined in the second clip, and it goes on forever, but I ended it after this longish clip. Give me a break. It's a way to summarize. You have an item. I got this item. Let me look at my desk right here. Find an item. Yes, a an item. It's this little, it's this little noisemaker. Yes. So the noisemaker, if, stop. If it gives me joy. Yes, you keep it.

Starting point is 01:31:33 I keep it. Yes. That's basically all there is to it. Yes. If it gives you joy, keep it. If not, it's out. Well, it gives me joy. Hey, there's a modem going off, huh? More importantly, it gives me joy. It gives everybody joy to hear your noisemakers. Your office should just be a desk, a computer, and a lot of noisemakers. Nothing else gives you joy like those noisemakers.

Starting point is 01:32:02 That's the go-to gift for John C. Dvorak, which I give grandpa, a noisemaker. We had one of our producer females that was sending me a lot of stuff. He's the one sent me this kind of the thunder things and a lot of this came from her. And this just stopped. I think she stopped listening to the show. Well, because of the noisemakers, obviously. Here we go. I have too much stuff. I think she stopped listening to the show. Well because of the noisemakers obviously Here we go. I have too much stuff. I'm kind of a pack rat especially with okay stop right away And I'm gonna be a bit this will be my last interruption This guy who moved is some teacher and he's moved into a small New York apartment. He's got too much junk

Starting point is 01:32:40 He is sitting in a chair Surround is the size of a room. It's a big, giant chair that is taking up half the space of his apartment and he's sitting in this thing as they're interviewing him on video. And I'm thinking, if you got rid of that chair, you'd have plenty of room for everything. But okay, anyway, I just thought I'd mention it. I have too much stuff. I'm kind of a pack rat, especially with books, records, and memorabilia things. And so it just got out of control.

Starting point is 01:33:10 I mean, the apartment is overrun already with stuff. And you know, I felt like I was in danger of being one of those hoarders. David moved into his New York City apartment in 2018. He emptied a lifetime worth of stuff from his storage locker into his small space. With the ensuing clutter, he knew he had to do something about it. Originally, I just thought, I want to hide everything and make it just neat, you know. But then I discovered that I really had to let go of stuff. To help him do that, David hired professional home organizer

Starting point is 01:33:45 Hiroko Watanabe. She uses the Konmari tidying method and is a certified master Konmari consultant. I mean, I don't know how it is for other people, but I can't imagine anyone doing this just on their own, just by reading Marie Kondo's book or watching her show. I can't imagine anybody really doing this without some help. On day one with a new client, Hiroko goes through a sort of ritual where she kneels

Starting point is 01:34:12 in the middle of the space in the house, quietly closes her eyes and does what she calls greeting the home where she sort of introduces herself and asks Tom to support the client in the process of becoming and staying organized. Then she goes through a process of helping the client come up with a vision for their ideal lifestyle and this simple vision helps guide the entire organizing journey. The Komaru method is a very unique method. What you want to do is by touching the item and if the item is spark joy or not and if that item is not spark joy let it go and when you let it go let it go with gratitude. This is wow.

Starting point is 01:35:05 What a great business. This is one of the best business ideas for 2025. If you're looking to get into a new business, go and greet the home at the people who you're going to help organize. Be a professional home organizer. I believe this has a great future. It helps if you're Asian. So you can spark a joy.

Starting point is 01:35:24 This is crazy. This is great. spark a joy. This is crazy. This is crazy. Spark a joy. This is racist. Yes, I'm racist. If it's spark a joy, you keep it. Very good. I'm Marie Kondo-Method.

Starting point is 01:35:33 Please. All right. Then let me do the last of the 2025 predictions. I wouldn't have played this if it wasn't on the BBC. It's actually predictions for up to 2050 because this old coot can apparently see that. I don't think he'll be with us in 2050, but here's what it's going to be. Get ready everybody. Let's look forward. Can you paint a picture for us of what if we survived, and perhaps we will in this new world to 2125, what our world would be like?

Starting point is 01:36:06 Well, let's just look at 2050 first, because that really gives us a good clue. Oh brother, this guy's good. Just how far away 100 years is going to be. 2050 is only 25 years away. We will have direct links between our brains and computers by then. And by then the computers will be hundreds or maybe even millions of times smarter than we are with our very advanced conscious AIs. And if you've got access to that, it basically multiplies your IQ by about a thousand.

Starting point is 01:36:36 You just add an extra two or three digits onto your IQ. In the same time frame, we have the ability to link your brain to the computer so well that 99% of your thoughts will happen inside the computer and when your body dies of old age and you get cremated it doesn't really matter you can just carry on using the 99% which you've already got running in the computers go back to work on Monday morning hire an Android and you're back in the real world so that's the kind of world we're looking at in 2050. You will have virtually electronic immortality, vastly superhuman IQs, and you'll even start to get some basic superpowers because we can modify your genetics in the 2050 timeframe too. So the second business idea for 2025 is become a futurologist.

Starting point is 01:37:23 Just get business cards, print it up, futurologist, and you can get on the BBC and spout stuff like this. That is the most, that is outrageous. That guy, the guy with the butterfly net should go pick him up immediately. If you're gonna do this, wait, I've got a topper. No, I'm trying to get to the break here. Well're getting into the break right after this. Okay. I got three clips. Oh no. Yes. This is the big thing they're doing now. This is all over the place and it's on and I have it on different. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You just said that about Marie Kondo,

Starting point is 01:37:59 which was a repackage of five years ago. Same thing. This is the repackage of what happens every year. But this time NPR is going to an extreme and they're pushing the hell out of this. Dry January. Oh yeah, dry January. Now, so I have three clips and this will take us right out of here

Starting point is 01:38:17 because the last clip is a dynamite one. Okay. Which will go right, you don't even have to do a joke after it. Here we go, dry Jan. Dry January, when people take a break from drinking alcohol for the month, has become a popular practice at the start of the new year. By the way, from the millennial in New York, who currently is working in the service industry,

Starting point is 01:38:38 she is very concerned about dry January. She feels that because of dry January, her tips will dry up as well. So is it... Well, no, if you listen to these reports, these same people should be giving mocktails and giving big tips. Virginia Public Radio's Brad Kutner spoke with researchers who say a pause is a good idea, even if it's just for one month. Heads up to those who imbibe. Dr. JP Arab, Director of Alcohol Sciences at VCU Health, has some bad news. Now we have extensive data showing that there is no benefit

Starting point is 01:39:14 of alcohol, and there is only harm. Arab's focus is on liver problems. He's seen patients without other symptoms walk into his office because they've suddenly turned yellow from jaundice, which means their liver is shut down, often from alcohol abuse. Arabs said there's no nerves in your liver so you won't know until it's too late, but even if you're not sure you've got a problem, it may be a good time to try Dry January just to find out. VCU professor Francesca Lynn has taken part in Dry January a few times. Sometimes her friends were doing it, other times she lost

Starting point is 01:39:43 a loved one and didn't want to fall down a worse path. She still drinks occasionally now, but she can see why it might help those who need it. If you want to do something and stick to something, then maybe it's just, like maybe it's not the alcohol, maybe it's goal setting. Bartenders told me January is their slowest month, so if you order a mocktail in line with your dry January experiment in the next few weeks, consider tipping like it's top shelf. All right. So then what goes on, they do, as I listen more to them, they hear the same story repurposed in different ways.

Starting point is 01:40:17 And so they finally came up with these last two clips and they, this is the different people have come on and they have some ideas. Oh, oh, ideas. So how you can do this and this first one is sober treats. Oh goodness. Yeah, I mean my favorite thing to suggest is to actually plan out what I call sober treats and in the beginning in your first week or two, I recommend planning them out every single day.

Starting point is 01:40:47 So for example, on Friday nights, instead of getting a bottle of wine, I would maybe get a pedicure. During the week, it might be blocking off an hour on my calendar and going for a walk somewhere really nice with music on, getting sushi takeout and watching a movie. And honestly, once you stop drinking, like waking up feeling good, feeling clear-eyed, being in your home in the morning when it's quiet with coffee, that's a sober treat. Who is this moron? She's obviously lives by herself. She's a poor, hopeless, single woman who listens to NPR and she lives at

Starting point is 01:41:28 a home by herself or an apartment probably. She's a renter, it's obvious. Yes, a renter, yes. And she has pedicures and she wakes up and she doesn't have a... She's drinking crap to begin with or she wouldn't have a... I haven't had a headache from drinking for 20 years because I don't drink garbage. And so the whole thing is like, okay, fine. Now this last clip will take you right to the break because it's actually, it's, it's this sober too.

Starting point is 01:41:58 This is a, uh, another selfish person, narcissistic or selfish or both? I think it could be either one, but it has a punch line that cracked me up and I think it's just a perfect, just go right into it. We'll do our break right during this. Go. The last thing I would say is absolutely don't volunteer to be a designated driver just because you're not drinking.

Starting point is 01:42:24 People tend to immediately say, oh, you're doing a no alcohol challenge. Great. You can drive us. And then you're stuck there till the end with a whole bunch of people who might get drunk. And it's really annoying. What a nice person. With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas

Starting point is 01:42:46 in charred carcasses. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and the only, Mr. John C. DeVorent. Well, good morning to you, Mr. M. Cranemar, ships of sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, designated drivers, and the dames of nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room let me see two thousand one hundred and twenty three

Starting point is 01:43:13 that's more than usual correct today's what Thursday yeah our average is 1800 yeah that's because everyone is because of the debacle in New Orleans. Yes, the debacle in New Orleans. That's right. That's why people tune in. They need... It's the amnest thing to witness. No, it's a service. This is why we're here. By the way, because of that early clip I played, we lost a third of them. I know. It probably was 4,000.

Starting point is 01:43:41 But it could have been. You and your talk clip, man. I can't believe you did that. No, we do provide this as a service. We have zero chance of being hired by YouTube to do it for multiple reasons, including we're not good on video. So it's just not going to happen. So instead, we do this public service, everybody. There's no difficulties in getting this show. You can get it anywhere you get your podcast. It doesn't have to be on one platform where you could become deplatformed if you say something

Starting point is 01:44:17 bad about the Democrat Party or Kamala or Joe or Pfizer for that matter. Or if you're racist and make racist jokes about Spock joy, you know all this stuff, but no we give it to you raw We are who we are and and the trolls join us through multiple avenues troll room.io or the modern podcast apps Which ensure you won't get the platform if you use one of those go to podcast apps comm and we do it value for value Then no ads we don it value for value. Then no ads. We don't have to break.

Starting point is 01:44:51 We don't have to, well, of course we, we don't make $400 million like Rush Limbaugh. But we have a lot more fun. We have complete ultimate freedom. And I think that is always the appeal why people come back to us because they know that there's no corrupting force in our life And we can't even be captured by the audience, which is the biggest problem for podcasters. They're going to quit. I got some letters to read. They're going to quit their Patreon.

Starting point is 01:45:14 What do you have? Do you have letters to read? Does someone complain? I have some letters to read from the audience grousing. We'll put that in the second half of the show. Oh, okay. So one of the ways that people can give back to us, we appreciate money, of course. We call that treasure.

Starting point is 01:45:30 We have three of these T's, time, talent and treasure. One way is for people to support us by doing things that remove cost. That's probably the biggest one right there. You know, why do H-1B visas exist? Because they have expensive employees. We need to keep the shareholders happy. We need to keep everybody happy. So we need to cut costs.

Starting point is 01:45:51 The way we cut costs is by having our listening audience who we call producers, produce for us and produce they do with insights, with knowledge, with boots on the ground, with clips, with pointers, with all kinds of things. They all help, you help us, you producers, you help us by setting up websites, by organizing meetups, and by creating artwork for us, artwork that makes our show always sparkle and shine and interesting, because people are like, what is this? What does this image mean? What is going on with this thing? Ah, it's also a reminder when it shows up in a podcast.

Starting point is 01:46:27 Oh, look at the piece of art. There must be the boys over at No Agenda. So we want to thank the artists who gave us the artwork for episode 1725. That was our pre-New Year's celebration and it was the perfect cheesecake. Nice smile, nice little fireworks in the background, nice font that was used and a champagne glass can't beat the bubbly. Darren O'Neill prompted his way into success once again with that artwork for episode 725 which we titled AI artificial Indian. Again, we're super racist.

Starting point is 01:47:01 I got some people saying, you guys, you call an Indian's racist, you're super racist. I got some people saying you guys you know, you call an Indians racist You know, you're racist Do you get any of that? Oh, yeah, because we were saying that that the Indians are the tech companies. They're racist They are I know but then we're racist all of a sudden for saying that we point this out. Yes, we're racist. I Know exactly we're racist. I know, exactly. We're racist. NoahGenderArtGenerator.com is where anybody can upload. You can also follow along during the live show,

Starting point is 01:47:33 see what people are uploading. It's a lot of fun. It's competitive and we like to discuss the pieces of art that we chose and the ones that we didn't choose. And we'll take a look at it right now. This was my last show in, in Europe. So we had a couple of European theme pieces.

Starting point is 01:47:55 I did like the Melania holding up the Deport Elon sign. That was cool. It was, yeah. Yeah. But then we, we had the- That wasn't going to happen because we went to New Year's theme. Yeah, we went to New Year's theme. And so there were a number of Nestworks uploaded a number of champagne bottles, which... Yeah, those were good. There was a

Starting point is 01:48:12 competitive. They were competitive, yes. They were, but not quite as good as Darren's. Let me see what Graham... Well, mixing in the cheesecake probably didn't hurt. It didn't hurt. Didn't hurt at all. Let me see. Was there anything mixing in the cheesecake probably didn't hurt. It didn't hurt. Didn't hurt at all. Let me see, was there anything else we were considering? No, but I did use the one from, I did use the Nestworks drone show for the newsletter, which is a Happy New Year Curry Dvorak and it had all the drones.

Starting point is 01:48:40 Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That was okay. It was okay. It was okay. Noah Art Generator dot com, that's where you can check them all out. And of course, if you're using a modern podcast app, we have great chapters, which Dreb Scott will do for us once again in this brand new year. And he uses many of the pieces of art that are not chosen.

Starting point is 01:48:59 So you can always enjoy them there as well. If you use it in the car, like CarPlay or Android Auto, it'll switch with each chapter, it'll switch on your dashboard, which is interesting and distracting. Yes, don't blame us. No, please don't. Now let's thank people who supported us, $50 and above.

Starting point is 01:49:18 We'll mention everybody and the amount that they gave us. We'd like to stop here for our executive and associate executive producers, because just like Hollywood, people who pony up up the money they get the credit early on. In this case we have a dual mandate if you donate $200 or above we give you a forever credit of associate executive producer for this episode which is an official credit can be used anywhere. Go look at imdb.com you'll see over a thousand and that's right up there with anyone else who has Hollywood credits and we'll read your note $300 yes I just gonna say I'm gonna start off today $300 or above and you get an executive

Starting point is 01:49:56 producer credit and we also read your note and we're going to thank those executive and associate executive producers now and I just heard John is starting us off. Yes, I am. And you'll see why immediately. I'm, this came from Isabel Pearson. I think it's Isabel. Isabel. Isabel.

Oh, good. ITM, gentlemen. 2024 Year of the Dragon featured my escape from the ever-oppressive UK to south of France. Well, I would say that's an upgrade. Yeah, no kidding.

I am proud to say that Too Many eggs recipe will feature as a cornerstone in our farm as a table dining experience. I'm hoping to combine the fine wines and farming yak with... It's farm to table. Farm to... oh what did I say? Farms is table. I don't know what you said but it's farm to table. You have to know what I said. It's marketing.

Starting point is 01:51:46 I'm complaining. Farm to table, dining experience. Yes, farm to table. Well, yeah, in France you can do farm to table all over the place. I'm hoping to combine fine wines and Armagnac with wild sanglier. Sanglier. Sanglier. Sanglier what? That Rome on the land. What is a sanglier?

Starting point is 01:53:10 and there's issues with WISE and our bank because of the fee structure. Because of our bank. We have gotten plenty of WISE donations but the way they always work is if it's set up at the sending bank

Starting point is 01:53:25 and then it goes through ACH or some other technology gets through. But anyway, so I want to thank her for this donation. Well, it'll get straightened out. I'm not worried about it. Well, thank you very much, Isabelle. And I look forward to landing with my chopper on your property with your farm to table. I'm excited about that. I can't wait for those

Big thanks to Dame Girl Kyle not Kylie and Sir Jackie Green for hitting me in the mouth. Jackie Green doing his work. I'm reaching out to NoagendaNation hoping someone might have legal advice or resources to help me bring my wife Yena back to the U.S. Yena and I have been together eight years and married for the last four.

Starting point is 01:54:30 Unfortunately, her refusal of the experimental COVID injection and all other jabs still required by the CDC as a condition of legal immigration has led to years of heartbreak and involuntary separation from each other. And he has a summary of the story which I will summarize. I'm a US citizen. Yenna and I met in 2017 while she was a foreign grad student from Finland at UC Davis. I was at a nearby community college we fell in love and built a life together with me eventually transferring to Stanford where I earned degrees in chemistry and environmental science.

Starting point is 01:55:02 Yenna is an incredibly talented pattern designer, has launched her own business with her creations license and features in stores and commercial spaces. See below, luavalo, luavaloflow.com. She left the US in spring of 2020 when talk of border closures began to avoid accidentally overstaying the extension on her student visa. The pain of separation with no end in sight, however, led me to fly to Finland on an empty jetliner so we could be married in her hometown that summer. Okay, so I understand what's going on here. We applied for the US spouse visa

Starting point is 01:55:42 and became approved as legit in nine months. However, the final step of the immigration immigrant visa process involves an exam of medical history, including vaccine records. She openly refused all jabs and was thus deemed inadmissible. This is true. Now, there's two ways to get into the United States legally and illegally. If you are going illegally, you just cross the border, eagle pass, and they will not ask you about your injection,

Starting point is 01:56:08 certainly not the COVID vaccine, but you law-abiding citizen, you fool. His wife has now, they've now been apart for a long time, even though they're married, he's been flying over back and forth. He says, I need help. Does anyone in no agenda, no nation have help? And I would like to say

Starting point is 01:56:27 that I have a great immigration lawyer for you so email me adam at curry.com I will set you up and if anyone can do it this guy can do it and I think there may be ways to do it but this is a sad story he would like to be known as Sir Sisu, if available. Otherwise, Sir Saburo, I think Sir Sisu is available and we will be knighting him later on today. Thank you for the heartbreaking note. And again, email me, I will set you up with my immigration lawyer.

Starting point is 01:56:59 That's all I have. Well, if anybody else has any ideas too. Well, this is the guy. Okay. I've done this a couple times. So there's also the well yeah that's a bit I think by the way if you took the Eagle Pass route it's probably easier and cheaper. As you came across you get a cell phone, a $5,000 credit card. What am I thinking? Why pay $5,000? You get the credit card, the cell phone. It's still available. You still got some time before January 20th. And you might actually You get the credit card, the cell phone, some sort of paperwork.

Starting point is 01:57:25 You still got some time. Before January 20th. And you might actually get a free ride to where you're really destined with your destination. It's a bus, but maybe you get flown. You never know. You can get flown. It happens. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:57:37 Jonathan Glover's next on the list. He's in Long Beach, California. He came in with $376.24. Greetings, gents. I'm in major need of deducing. Deducing. You've been deduced. Sorry listening after the first Rogan appearance by Adam.

Starting point is 01:57:55 Love the show. Finally had to give something back. Please accept my classic caliber donation of $357, as in $357 Magnum,.38 as in 357 magnum dot 38 as in 38. Nice. I like that one. That's a good one. 357.38. Classic caliber donation, 357.38.

Starting point is 01:58:14 Very nice. Matthew Ross is next in Indian Trail, North Carolina, and he sends in 351.64. Now, I just wish we had the origin. The numerology gets thrown off. I have a problem with this on the spreadsheets. I wish we could change this because people are doing numbers and sometimes they don't mention that it includes fees and then we get screwed. Anyway, he says, I was a little drunk just before the ball dropped in Times Square this

Starting point is 01:58:48 year. I was at a comedy show of John Reapes in Charlotte, North Carolina with my new girlfriend Johanna. Yes, he sent a picture. I saw it.

Happy New Year to get Monash from Tyler at TylerSystems.com where before we panic about being dominated by Sam Altman's faux AGI, we first ask it to print. So far no dice. How disappointing. Until we can offer our fellow produce, until, we can offer our fellow producers a prototype T1 with our public-private Skynet consortium partners. You'll find us toiling away at working on using

Starting point is 02:00:52 large language models to help automate a lot of the big boring bureaucratic processes that still dominate and operate much of our lives, both at work and at home. I believe trust is more monetizable now than ever, and there are enough B2B leaders receptive enough to value for value and shareware. The model that I hope it's possible to build a business off of it. This has been reassuring through an intense period of boots on the ground research, i.e. pitch meetings. Shoot for the big leagues, but end up as win-rar. What's wrong with that? Yours truly Tyler

Starting point is 02:01:26 at tylersystems.com, Sir Tyler in Alaska. P.S.

Yeah, I'd love to go up there and watch the Northern Lights on the right day. So, tylersystems.com, apparently they're doing a value for value proposition. I'm interested to see how that goes. Yeah, that would be interesting to see how it goes. Thank you, brother. Meanwhile, Jason Schneider in Roseland, New Jersey comes in with 33333 and this is a switcheroo, ITM he says, switcheroo

Said, yeah, believe it or not, we're large, we're big, we're nationwide, that's how we roll. So, thank you for that. And again, thank you to, we'll be thanking everybody $50 and above in our second segment,

Starting point is 02:09:52 but thank you to these executive and associate executive producers for making it all happen today. NoAgendaDonations.com is where you can support us. That's NoAgendaDonations.com. Thank you for supporting our latest episode. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth Yeah

Starting point is 02:10:24 Did you see? Yeah. Did you see that 60 Minutes had a Mossad guy on talking about the pagers and the walkie talkies? I did not see this. Oh man. So they have a guy on and he's got a ski mask, glasses, they use a phony voice and he's talking about, he's oh no, this explains the whole thing, how they did the pagers and the walkie talkies. I have a number of clips if you're interested. I think I saw parts of this, now that you mentioned

Starting point is 02:10:57 it. Do you want to play them? On September 17th, after Israel and the terrorist organization Hezbollah had been in an escalating war for nearly a year, the Israeli spy agency Mossad launched one of the most daring and sophisticated deceptions in the history of counterintelligence, the pager plot, a modern take on the Trojan horse. Mossad created a bomb in a pocket and tricked Hezbollah fighters into unwittingly wearing these devices on their bodies. The repercussions of the plot have been dramatic, including aiding in the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, the weakening of Iran, and the decimating of the target of the plot, Hezbollah.

Starting point is 02:11:47 We spoke with two recently retired senior Mossad agents with leading roles in the operation. To hide their identities, we agreed they could wear a mask and have their voices altered. It was really a sight to be seen with a full on, you know, like a mask. The full ski mask, I think, wasn't it? The whole ski mask, the dark shades. I don't know why this was done. I mean, other than to tout that Mossad is awesome, I'm not sure. Yes, there's no, I'm with you on this.

Starting point is 02:12:22 Why? Why? Why do you do this? Why don't you just shut up and you can gloat amongst yourselves, but to do this publicly is some message and there's something about it. They did it for some reason. We don't know what. I have too many clips.

Starting point is 02:12:37 I'm going to jump around on this. They're all relatively short, though. We start with the walkie talkies. We started with Michael, not his real name. No shit, Sherlock. You were something called a case officer. What exactly is a case officer? A case officer spearheads the operation.

Starting point is 02:12:55 He's the commander of the operation. The operation started 10 years ago, not with pagers, but with weaponizing walkie talkies. A walkie talkie was a weapon, just like a bullet, or a missile, or a mortar. So a walkie talkie bomb. A walkie talkie bomb. Inside the battery there is an explosive device. And that was the invention, to put an explosive device that couldn't be detected into the battery. Correct. Made in Israel. At Mossad?

Starting point is 02:13:26 Yes. As I understand it, these walkie talkies went into a tactical vest that a soldier would put on and then this would go in the pocket. Correct. Near the heart. Yes. So Israel sold this device to Hezbollah.

Starting point is 02:13:43 Hezbollah paid for this weapon that was to be used against them. They got a good price. A good price that couldn't be too low or they'd be suspicious. By the way, now that I'm listening to this, this is clearly not a voice changer. This is AI voices. It's entirely possible they just took a couple of interns, put a ski mask on their head with some glasses and then threw in some AI.

Starting point is 02:14:11 The AI voices are, it's edited in here. It's not a natural flow of conversation. So this could be a total CBS, CIA broadcasting systems, bull crap, it's just something wrong with this whole report It makes no yeah, I can see that that would be a good idea actually Particularly when you hear this why is any Mossad guy gonna do this it wouldn't make sense. Here's This is part of this is part of this propaganda Piece in the end has Bula bought over

Starting point is 02:14:42 16,000 of these exploding walkie-talkies that Israel then didn't activate for 10 years until three months ago. How did you convince Hezbollah to buy this? Well, obviously, they didn't know that they were buying it from Israel. Who did they buy it from? Or think they were buying it from. We have an incredible array of possibilities of creating foreign companies that have no way being traced back to Israel,

Starting point is 02:15:12 shell companies over shell companies who affect the supply chain to our favor. We create a pretend world. We are a global production company. We write the screenplay, we're the directors, we're the producers, we're the main actors, Well, bro. What? Why is this taking place? Help me with this. There's something about this. The world is our stage.

Starting point is 02:15:41 By the way, these batteries are replaceable and a 10 year old product with a battery and it is going to be so degraded by the time 10 years rolls by you're going to probably throw the old battery out. Okay, I'm going to paray on that because I have 10 year old bow fangs and I carry one in my bag and I turn it on. The battery is still full. It's still full. It could be a good product. The Baofeng is a good product. So I'm going to skip over some of the bits here, but here's how they marketed it to make the stupid Hezbollah buy it from them.

Starting point is 02:16:18 Character meaning added features. Oh, wait, I should probably play this one first. Yeah. Could you use it as a tracking device? Did it have intelligence? meaning added features. Oh, wait, I should probably play this one first. Yeah. Could you use it as a tracking device? Did it have intelligence? This is talking about the pagers now. Or just capability.

Starting point is 02:16:31 Oh no, this is a very stupid device by nature. This is the reason they're using it. There's almost no way how to tap it. It's only receiving messages and several grams of explosive. Beeping messages and several grams of explosive. Lossad also tested these ringtones to find a sound urgent enough to compel someone to take it out of their pocket. And they tested how long it takes a person to answer a pager, on average seven seconds. But how to convince Hezbollah to switch to this bulkier pager?

Starting point is 02:17:06 I remember the day that I came to our director, put it on the table, and he was furious. He was telling us, there is no chance that anyone would buy such a big device. It's not comfortable in their pockets. It's heavy. Very heavy. Very heavy. It's no good. Yeah. Go back and bring me something. Do you hear this edit job? Very heavy. Yeah. You hear complete different audio and everything. Listen. There is no chance that anyone would buy such a big device. It's not comfortable in their pockets. It's heavy. Very heavy. Very heavy. It's no good. Yeah. Go back and bring me something else. It took me two weeks to convince him that although it's ugly, it has character. Right. Now the character clip, which is kind of interesting.

Starting point is 02:17:47 Character meaning added features, which they touted in fake ads on YouTube. Robust, dustproof, waterproof, long battery life. We make advertising movies and brochures and we put it on the internet and it becomes the best product in the BIPER area in the world. Did people other than Hezbollah want to buy this based on what was being said about it online? Yes, we received several requests

Starting point is 02:18:15 from regular potential customer. Obviously we didn't send to anyone. We just bought them with expensive price. Mossad wanted to use the name Gold Apollo on its pager. So it set up shell companies, including one in this building in Hungary to dupe the Taiwanese into partnering with them. So that now now they're going to tout the fact that they dupe the Taiwanese because they're like the Truman show.

Starting point is 02:18:42 So the company in Taiwan, Gold Apollo, did they know that they were working with people from Mossad? Gold Apollo had zero clue that they are working with the Mossad. And neither did Hezbollah. When they are buying from us, they have zero clue that they are buying from the Mossad.

Starting point is 02:18:59 We make like Truman Show. Everything is controlled by us behind the scene. In their experience, everything is normal. Everything is controlled by us behind the scene. In their experience, everything is normal. Everything was 100% kosher, including businessmen, marketing, engineers, showroom, everything. To further the plot, Mossad hired the Gold Apollo saleswoman Hezbollah was used to working with before. She offered them the first batch of pagers as an upgrade free of charge. By September 2024, Hezbollah had 5,000 pagers in their pockets. It makes me wonder about this flip phone I've got,

Starting point is 02:19:37 you know, best price. I started looking for a new co-host. You don't need one. You just ask why all the time and you answer yourself. Oh yes, right. I can try that technique. Yeah, why? Why would I do that? Well, yeah, well, because a lot of different reasons. Well, what do you think about this? Okay.

Starting point is 02:19:55 All right, a couple more here. So this is now about the activation. By the way, all of this is the story that we already knew. We knew about the Taiwanese company. All of this is known, but for some reason, this story to be put together with these interns with ski masks and AI voices. The question for Israel, when to activate the sleeping bombs. There were hints Hezbollah might be getting suspicious of the devices. So Mossad head Dady Barnea gave the go ahead,

Starting point is 02:20:23 triggering the attack and shocking people around the world as it seemed more like a spy movie than reality. On September 17th at 3.30 p.m. pagers started beeping all over Lebanon. As I understand it, people with this pager got a message that said you have an encrypted message in order to access it you have to push the two buttons meaning that it would explode in their hands that was the whole point so if someone did not push the two buttons what happened it's the same effect it's going to explode anyway. The explosive was triggered in Israel. Yes. Dude. Wait, wait, wait. What? What? If you push the two buttons that exploded, if you didn't push the two buttons that exploded anyway? That's what he said. But what's the

Starting point is 02:21:21 point of even mentioning this? It's just gonna explode. Well it's just to make sure they have them in their hands because that was more fun, better effect. Yeah. Oh they want to make sure to blow their hands off? Yeah you know a fighter, look you can hurt a fighter but if you blow his hands off he's kind of useless. You got to think like Mossad baby. What ensued was mayhem. People with pagers blowing up on the street, on motorcycles, hospitals filling up with the wounded, limbs, fingers torn off, bloodied, blinded, holes in stomachs. This is a very accurate description. I'm surprised.

Starting point is 02:22:02 For the most part, the explosions worked as planned, they say. Watch the man on the left. It's the grocery store. Those right next to him were unscathed. The very next day, Mossad finally activated the walkie talkies that had been dormant for 10 years, some going off at the funerals of those killed by the pagers. All in all, about 30 people died, including two children. Around 3,000 were injured. The aim? It wasn't killing Hezbollah terrorists. If he's just dead, so he's dead.

Starting point is 02:22:45 But if he's wounded, you have to take him to the hospital, take care of him. You need to invest money in efforts. And those people without hands and eyes are leaving proof, walking in Lebanon, of don't mess with us. They are walking proof of our superiority all around the Middle East. Dude, what is this? What kind of horrible advertisement is this from Mossad? I find it very peculiar.

Starting point is 02:23:12 Especially that part. Yeah, that last one was the worst of the group. Okay, just a couple more and then we're done. Don't mess with us. That's pretty much it. Did you completely destroy and crush Hezbollah? I think it's a big question. And I think the honest answer would be no.

Starting point is 02:23:29 But I think after this tipping point of the beeper operation and the walkie talkie and then IDF attack, put Hezbollah in a very, very difficult situation. No chain of command, no spirit in their soldiers asking, begging for a ceasefire. So you restore your sense of superiority. But what about your moral reputation? Don't you think Israel has to worry about its reputation? Wait, stop. She says in a scriptive manner, so you restore your sense of superiority.

Starting point is 02:24:04 What is that supposed to mean? It was lost? They lost their sense of... From the sounds of it, they've had a sense of superiority since the get-go. So what's being restored here and why is she asking that question? Well, she's asking it because it's in the script, but I don't know why the script was written that way. It is the most bizarre thing that I have seen in a long time. 60 minutes is no good.

Starting point is 02:24:30 Restore your sense of superiority. But what about your moral reputation? Don't you think Israel has to worry about its reputation? Definitely. But there is a prioritization. First, you have to defense your people not being killed by the thousands. And then the reputation. Well, the final clip is kind of what got my goats because there's something highly inaccurate in

Starting point is 02:24:55 here. The pagers have had a profound rippling effect, severely weakening Iran by leaving its proxy empire in ruins with Hezbollah shattered in Lebanon, Assad toppled in Syria. We asked Agent Michael about the effect on Gaza. How does that affect the situation with Hamas? The wind was taken out of Hezbollah's fight after the pager operation, and I'm hoping that it will have an effect also on the Hamas and Hassid situation because they're looking at their sides and they're seeing no one next to them. They are completely isolated now.

Starting point is 02:25:36 In terms of the kind of warfare that was conducted with the walkie-talkies and the pagers, would you call it a psychological war? The day after the pagers exploded, people were afraid to turn on the air conditioners in Lebanon because they were afraid that they would explode. So there is real fear. Was that an intention? We want them to feel vulnerable, which they are.

Starting point is 02:26:03 We can't use the pagers again because we already did that. We've already moved on to the next thing. And they'll have to keep on trying to guess what the next thing is. Well, that's not the clip I thought it was, but this is them saying we are a terrorist organization. Yeah, yeah, exactly right. They're a terrorist organization. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:26:23 And they're literally terrorizing people. And it's not just Iran. I'm serious. I'm like, okay, where did this flip phone come from? Can Mossad kill me at any moment? Hey, I don't like it. I have a drawer. The worst that could happen is it's going to blow up the credenza.

Starting point is 02:26:44 I think I'm going to put mine in a drawer as well. This is very annoying. It's very annoying what they're doing. I don't like it. I don't like it. And what the point was of CBS airing this, I don't know. It's a message to somebody and it's probably a message to somebody for some reason. And it is, yes, it's something that, yeah, we don't know. But somebody might know let's play this since we're talking about this area this might as well play the ntd syria update keep us apprised okay israeli forces continue to wage war on multiple fronts against iran-backed terrorist

Starting point is 02:27:20 groups meanwhile iran's supreme leader has now called for people in Syria to join the resistance against Israel. And it is Jason Perry has the latest. Israeli forces released video on Wednesday of what they said were Hezbollah terrorists transferring weapons from a storage facility in Lebanon. And moments later, the Israeli air force struck the building to quote remove the threat. This strike comes in the middle of a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, which is set to expire this month. However, after the strike, Israel said they're operating in accordance with the ceasefire agreement. Also in Lebanon, a commander in the Israel Defense Forces reported finding a mortar that was ready to launch towards communities in northern Israel.

Starting point is 02:28:06 Here you can see the shells prepared and arranged here below. Here is one shell as an example that we can see here, a 15 kilogram shell. They could simply take out the mortar, place it inside and this shell is launched. And in the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces reported getting shot at from a building that was used as a mosque. After we were shot at, we neutralized the terrorists and entered the mosque. The mosque from which we were shot at can be seen here. After searching the mosque, we identified significant underground infrastructure in it, which can be seen here. Before Israeli forces enter buildings, they've also been using drones to search them because they could

Starting point is 02:28:48 be rigged with explosives as seen in this building in Ra'afah. But no matter the progress Israel makes against Iran-backed terrorist groups, Iran's supreme leader appears undeterred as he vowed victory in Lebanon and Yemen on Wednesday. And he even called for people in Syria to join the resistance against Israel. You know, hearing this, and I'm still thinking about this, that Mossad thing, could this be, because clearly now Israel is, if they're not taking claim for it, they are responsible. Oh, we did Syria too. Could this be a message from Mossad through CIA, CBS, CIA broadcasting systems to Trump and others to say, you know, we can get you wherever we want, whenever we want. Don't you dare take anything away from us.

Starting point is 02:29:42 Don't you try and change anything that we're doing in the Middle East. It certainly doesn't help with the anti-Jew vibe, this type of reporting. You know what I'm saying? Possible. That's something up. I mean, if I, if I heard this and I'm a Senator, I'm like, okay, APAC, come on in, I don't want you blowing up my air conditioner or cell phone or whatever it is you have planned next.

Starting point is 02:30:06 Well, the drop in of the air conditioner item in the report is probably significant. It has to be. Because you're out of the blue. I mean, once you're afraid to start your car, that would have been more logical. That's so old school. That's so 1980s. So they're afraid to turn their air conditioners off, Yeah, that would have been more logical. That's so old-school. That's so 1980s So they're afraid to turn their air conditioners off, which of course then implies that they're sweating to death Air fryers next exploding air fryers

Starting point is 02:30:42 Anything could be anything what is the one let's exploding vapes. Oh, no Look vapes, that would be a good one. No, that would take out a bunch of vapors. I'm just thinking what would take me out. Oh, that's all you care about. Yes, of course. Speakers, what do I got? Mixers. Yes, you have smart speakers. Smart speakers, it could be... I don't.

Starting point is 02:31:04 Of course not. I have nothing smart. I'm not even smart. You're also gonna outlive us all. And you don't need me, again. You just say why, and then you answer your own question. No, I have to start working on how to interview myself. I just haven't gotten that down yet.

Starting point is 02:31:18 All right everybody, let's get a little update. Time for a bird flu update. McCullough is back on the scene. Yes. McCullough who is now the opposition is calling an op. Really? He is part of some, yeah, he's like a bad guy. He's all bull crap what he's saying. And the farm is going after him finally.

Starting point is 02:31:41 Well, we will remind everybody that during COVID, we liked McCullough because he has a reputation that no one could take down. No one could say anything about his medical reputation. And nobody could argue with him and he challenged everybody. You wanted to be, you say this, you say that. Come on, let's talk about it. We can have an open forum. I'll discuss these things.

Starting point is 02:32:04 No, they would talk about it. We can have an open forum. I'll discuss these things. No, they would not do it Nobody would take him on because he's got all the facts and figures right in his head And here's his latest about the h5 n1 bird flu bird flu or h5 n1 influence has been around For over a hundred years well documented in the scientific literature in the United States the most recent outbreak Which is now four years old, we've published, McCullough Foundation has published with first author Nick Hosher, an epidemiologist in the journal, Poultry Fisheries and Wildlife Sciences, peer review journal, that the current strain of bird flu is a product of gain of function research done in the USDA poultry research laboratory in Athens, Georgia. So it is a man-made problem that our farms are experiencing

Starting point is 02:32:54 right now. The stated goal of the USDA in doing this research was simply to get it to jump from chickens into mallard ducks, and that way it could spread all over. So it's it's a bad line of thinking to continue to do gain of function research and I hope under the new administration one of the very first steps taken by the U. S. National Institutes of

Starting point is 02:33:17 Health the CDC and the NIH would it be to do an all out ban on gain of function research- certainly in U. S. labs and our funding- of labs outside the United States. Because we know it's not just the government that funds this research but

Starting point is 02:33:33 also Gates Foundation. Many other pro vaccine. Foundations are ramping up gain of function research even in the initial spending bill that the U. S. House representatives had that Mike Johnson initially presented there were twelve more U. S. are ramping up gain of function research, even in the initial spending bill that the US House of Representatives had that Mike Johnson initially presented, there were 12 more US biolabs proposed.

Starting point is 02:33:51 I love this guy. And I have to ask a question here. My understanding was that the reason Fauci sent the money from that through via that one company to China, Wuhan, is because we already banned gain of function research. When did the ban get lifted that is being done by locals, USDA and elsewhere? I don't know.

Starting point is 02:34:15 I mean, this is, he doesn't answer this question. He just talks about it. It should be banned. I thought it was banned. I thought it was illegal. This is all germ warfare that is actually not only banned, but it's against the Geneva Convention. We're not supposed to be doing any of this. And how is that not brought up into the conversation?

Starting point is 02:34:32 And who needs exploding air conditioners when you got this stuff? It's ludicrous. Why? Why? Why? I don't know. Why? Okay, okay. Okay. Just on the bird flu thing, because it relates to raw milk. We have an unbelievable amount of people, producers who know a lot about milk. They're in the industry.

Starting point is 02:35:02 They are lit. We have milk testers. Yeah, we have milk testers yeah we have milk people that are actually in the business of testing raw milk are listening to this show as the two of us speak and ask ourselves questions so and I put a couple of them into the show notes so you can read them I'd like to highlight two here are some reasons raw milk is a threat to big milk. Factory farms are much more likely to have outbreaks that actually make milk dangerous. A mass scale operation where one spoiled batch is mixed with the rest, you're ruining a lot more milk. For smaller scale farms this is not such a large risk. I believe pasteurization became

Starting point is 02:35:40 required by law in response to factory farming issues. Additionally, pasteurization and testing are expensive. Requiring pasteurization or testing makes it difficult for new entrants to compete in the market. It makes it easier for monopolists. So of course, any lobbying interest will want to fear monger the public into wanting additional expensive steps out of place. So, I mean, there's a lot of information we have about big dairy lobbies, but the one that I thought was the most interesting is where big milk itself came from. And there are many versions of the story because it relates to government cheese. And government cheese, I mean, I've never had to deal with government cheese, fortunately, because government cheese is given to poor people in America.

Starting point is 02:36:31 But this one producer gave me a rundown that I thought, well, it sounds credible. And there's, again, there's other versions of where the government cheese came from. And we've still, in 2016, I think 2018 still had a lot like a lot of government cheese and warehouses. So I'm going to read this and then you can interrupt if you feel appropriate. During Prohibition, many bars and previous liquor sellers switched over to ice cream. A night out on the town became you and a bunch of your friends going out for ice cream. The kids raised this way were a fighting age when World War II broke out. Because of this, ice cream was the morale booster of choice for the military, so much

Starting point is 02:37:13 so that there were multiple naval vessels solely dedicated to the production of ice cream traveling from naval group to naval group in the Pacific. The massive milk needs of the US government during the war led to the creation of dairy farmers. Until then, it was economically infeasible for a farmer to exclusively produce milk. After the war, the military was drastically downsized and the government didn't need nearly as much milk. Instead of letting all this new dairy farming industry collapse, the government decided

Starting point is 02:37:42 to just keep buying milk. The easiest way to store milk long term is to make cheese. So the government became a cheese making powerhouse. Numerous underground caverns, mostly in the Midwest, were stocked with millions of pounds of cheese. When Reagan took office one of his priorities was getting rid of waste and this milk buying cheese making boondoggle came to light. The initial announced plan was to toss all that cheese into the ocean. But there was public outcry, we paid for that cheese, we should get the cheese. The federal government then used it as a handout for low income people.

Starting point is 02:38:15 This is how government cheese was born. The government also had to stop buying new milk but didn't want to just kill the dairy industry so the National Dairy Council, a federal government entity, was born to drive private consumption of milk. All dairy farmers are required by law to pay into the council and in turn it produces ads and research to further the cause of milk production. This is where the research about milk creating strong bones as well as the Got Milk ads came from in the 90s. What do you think of that story?

Starting point is 02:38:51 Well, the story chronologically doesn't make some sense, but it, but it sounds plausible. I agree with you. It sounds plausible. I'd have to look into this. I think I like the chronology because the way he's got the prohibition was broken long before world War II broke out. But there was this moment in history where the, and I think it was during this era where the soda fountain became a thing. And it was cropped. But it tended to be, when I was a kid, we had them and they tended to be outshoots of creameries, which were independent dairies, which are all over the place

Starting point is 02:39:28 in the early part of the century, or the mid-century of last century. They were everywhere. I mean, that's why I talked about this already, about the dairies. I remember two or three of them, independence. And during World War, or pre-World War II, the milk delivery system in this country was

Starting point is 02:39:46 extremely elaborate with the milk trucks that would deliver bottled milk all over the place. And this was outlined in many movies that you could see back in the early 30s. So it wasn't as though the milk was something that just cropped up out of the blue and started getting promoted in after World War II. So I have a problem with up out of the blue and started getting promoted after World War II. So I have a problem with that part of the story. Well History.com corroborates most of the story, not so much the naval part. But what's interesting on the History.com story at the end it says, now known as Government

Starting point is 02:40:19 Cheese, the pungent smelling and according to some... Well, by the way, I'm not arguing against the government cheese part of the story. I'm arguing about the milk. But I just want to read this part because it leads into something else. The government cheese was ultimately distributed to the tune of 300 million pounds. The cheese became associated with hard times while some were grateful and mentioned to historians says others hated the ways in which the cheese advertised their socio-economic status.

Starting point is 02:40:50 Today some people recall the cheese fondly. Food writer Tracy Lynn Lloyd recalls how its weird texture made it good only for macaroni and cheese or grilled cheese sandwiches. This is why we have mac and cheese. Few slaves can get used to mac and cheese. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese. Macaroni and cheap cheddar melted together. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. That's it, baby.

Starting point is 02:41:16 That's where it came from. Mac and cheese. Whole industry created cheap cheddar. Nasty crap stored in caves. Government cheese. I like to crap stored in caves, government cheese. I like to store it in caves. It's great. All right. I have one more story here of the pharma variety, which is important because there's new information.

Starting point is 02:41:37 Those Zempik and these weight loss drugs, that was the story of 2024, and it feels like that's going straight into 2025. Yeah, the story is absolutely going to continue into 2025. If you take a look at these stats there has been a 400 percent increase in prescriptions since 2019. One in eight adults has tried a GLP-1 and by 2030 it is projected to be a 100 billion dollar industry. As many experts have said, GLP-1s are basically having a statin moment, but guess what?

Starting point is 02:42:08 As we pointed out a couple of weeks ago, more Americans are eligible for these medications, these GLP-1s, than they are even to statin. So huge, huge, huge, and will remain so in the next year. A big part is the expense, which I know a lot of folks are talking about, but let's talk, they can be prescribed for, not just diabetes, not just weight loss.

Starting point is 02:42:27 Now they're showing other kinds of effects. In addition to weight loss and diabetes, the first big news that hit in the last year was their amazing benefit for cardiovascular risk reduction. But there are currently about a hundred studies that are either being being conducted or have been completed on a whole host of different body parts, the kidney, the liver, arthritis, even polycystic ovarian syndrome. If you think about it this way, for a lot of our internal organs, obesity is the biggest driver of their worst diseases.

Starting point is 02:42:59 And so we're going to see amazing, amazing and impactful effects on many other body parts, not just weight and diabetes and heart disease. It's a miracle drug. What an unbelievable story. That was just not quite got where your predictions leading, but it's obvious as words headed. So Atlantic did a whole piece and it's titled the science behind Ozempic was wrong. The weight loss effects of GLP-1 drugs have little to do with the gut.

Starting point is 02:43:29 In summary, your gut makes GLP-1. And the half-life of the GLP-1 that your gut makes is like a couple hours. So what these semi-glutide drugs do is they, it's like a thousand times the amount of GLP-1 that you're injecting and the half life of that is several days, but it doesn't really do anything to your body. All of them, according to this article, affect your brain. It is in fact a brain drug and nothing else.

Starting point is 02:44:07 And that's why in rodents, they also saw that rodents didn't want any more coke or alcohol because they have addicted rats, of course. And the scientists don't actually know how it works, just like the antidepressants. They don't actually know why it works and they really don't know the long-term effects. And it's passing the blood-brain barrier. This is not a good product. Scientists are perplexed, it says. Are you kidding me? Scientists are perplexed, it says. Are you kidding me? So they want this stuff in Medicare? I mean, you think the COVID vax was bad.

Starting point is 02:44:53 This could be the worst. They have no idea how it works. They have no idea what the real long-terms of that are. It would help if they had some long-term studies, which they don't have. No. would it would be even more helpful if they could actually determine how it worked this is that you'll see this on a lot of drugs in fact is it and the drug yes sometimes it'll be little of somebody's send a couple of these to me is right at the bottom it says very in

Starting point is 02:45:20 small print this is scientists do not understand how this mechanism works. Yeah. So they're giving you any, take this. It was on, it's on the commercial on the ad. Scientists don't actually know how this stuff works, but we're selling it to you anyway. This is insane. Um, do we need to do anything on H1B other than just be racist about it?

Starting point is 02:45:45 Yeah, I don't think so. But I do have a remembrance clip, some stuff from the past that celebrates a new year. Oh, goodness. That I'm going to... I decided, the clips I have are the history clips. I decided that the reason that... Well, what I'm going to miss, I thought, you know, what, what, what am I going to miss? From 2024, you mean?

Starting point is 02:46:07 It went 2024 and before, even before 20, what changed? What's going to change that I'm going to miss? And I decided it's Biden. I'm going to miss SockHops. That's what I'm going to miss. Well, SockHops should have been missed a long time ago. So I have, I'm going to miss. That's what you're telling me.

Starting point is 02:46:24 You're going to miss Biden. Don't you think? Now going to miss. That's what you're telling me. You're going to miss Biden. Don't you think? Now listen to that. Got a couple of Biden clips. Okay. I got Biden. I got two medleys, which is Biden just talking. And then I have Tucker Carlson's clip about Biden taking pills, which is less interesting, but let's start with the Biden at the United nations. Now together climactic. Let's start with Biden at the United Nations. Now, together, climatically,

Starting point is 02:46:45 we've been mingled with great pain. We've lost so much in this devastating pandemic. The emergence of new technologies and a global health threat council for a global COVID response. Was he in the toilet at the UN or where was he when this was recorded?

Starting point is 02:47:06 It's just bad micing, I went back on it. Vaccinating the world and building back better from the borderless climate crisis, from the United States and from other donors, working with countries, technologies, and reduce the risk. Similarly, we know the bitter string of terrorism, the bitter sting of terrorism is real.

Starting point is 02:47:29 The United States is committed to using our resources. When the Earthquake strikes, we're fighting between warring parties, heroic, horrific violence, and a belief in the universe when it occurs in, whether it occurs in whether it occurs LGBTQI, the authoritarianism of the world, proud Moldovans built rope now together, climactic climate change from COVID to climate. We, you and I, God bless you all. Okay. Well, I'm not going to miss that clip.

Starting point is 02:48:05 Oh, come on. You're going to miss Biden. Here's the second Biden medley. And this is from Biden Medley 1. Policy and science and society. To agree with the early computer products, computing products. computer products, computing products. And when I wrote that down, I thought to myself, I mean, how many kids, you know, anyway. As co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors in Science and Technology, I appoint Dr. Francis Arnold. Growing up in coal country, not far from Heaven, Scranton, Pennsylvania, in Carbon County, in Pennsylvania,

Starting point is 02:48:47 about 50 miles south of where I was a kid. She dreamed of exploring outer space. I could have told her she'd just go to Green Range in Scranton and she'd find where it was. I shouldn't be so flippant, but I'm so excited about these folks. Yeah, okay. Now, I won't miss that either. I'm so excited about these folks. Yeah. Okay. Now I won't miss that either.

Starting point is 02:49:09 I will. No, I'm not going to miss that. You have another one? Well, I have Tucker Carlson talking about the, I know we forgot about this and it was never confirmed or denied. And it was just the kind of a crazy thing he went on and on about. Now, how about this? If you want to miss Joe Biden, you want to miss him like this.

Starting point is 02:49:29 Poisoning, poisoning. COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, has taken more than 100 years. Look, the wives, it's just, it's, you know, think about it. Corn pop was a bad thing. That's what you want to remember Joe Biden for. Yeah, except for the music bed. Corn pop was a bad dude. That's what you want to remember. He was a bad dude. I got him with a chain. I'll miss him for that. Well, play the Tucker thing and then we can go. Really? Okay, Tucker. It's good. This? Okay, Tucker thing.

Starting point is 02:50:05 This Joe Biden, anyone who knew Joe Biden had seen before, he completely changed. This was clearly cognitive decline. This was dementia, obviously. So we drew a conclusion that now sounds ridiculous, but it seemed logical at the time. This guy can't be the Democratic nominee. He can barely speak. How did he manage to get through the campaign? Well, it turned out we learned later, his staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife, was giving him pills before every

Starting point is 02:50:32 public appearance, checking the time and at a certain hour giving him a dose of something. Now, it's not a guess, we're not making that up. We spoken directly to someone who was there and saw it happen multiple times. Now, before taking the medication, this person said, Biden was quote, like a small child, you could not communicate with him. He changed completely because he was on drugs and he clearly still is on drugs. No one's pushing to know what those drugs are. We should know. But the point is Joe Biden's dementia was perfectly obvious to everyone around him more

Starting point is 02:51:03 than three years ago. You know what I'm gonna miss? I'm gonna miss that daddy long legs, that fake Biden. I'm gonna miss that dude. I'm gonna miss that dude running from the helicopter. That's who I'm gonna miss. I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
