I love the cans.
Adam Curry, John C. DeVorex.
It's Thursday, October 9th, 2025.
This is your award winning Kibon Nation Media Assassination, Episode 18006.
This is no agenda.
The Queen survives.
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wondering, whatever happened to the ham burglar.
I'm John C. DeVorak.
Did he go away?
Did they remove the hamburgler from the McDonald's franchise?
So I said, I'm wondering, whatever happened to the hamburgler?
I don't know.
I always like the hamburger, right?
Maybe it was too scary.
The hamburger actually is the guy that Google put into Chrome
that is sneaking through your computer screen when you reach a non-SSL encrypted website.
That is the actual hamburger.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
That's the guy.
So news from Fredericksburg, everybody's very, very upset here.
Very worried, very concerned.
Oh, well, this is always a to popper.
You might as well start the show with Fredericksburg gossip.
Might as well.
Not just Fredericksburg, but Nashville, Memphis.
Everybody's very, very, very worried about Dolly Parton.
Oh, yes.
Dolly Parton's sick.
Dolly Parton, well, no, let's hear what she has to say.
She is most definitely America strong.
Dolly Parton with her new message tonight.
She knows black athlete from playing for a football team?
Huh?
Well, I don't understand the reference.
But they always say most definitely.
So how'd you do in today's game?
Did you do well?
Most definitely.
They always saying most definitely.
Oh, interesting.
Which is the stupidest phrase.
I hate it.
Okay.
She is most definitely America.
Oh, a show title.
Most definitely.
I'll write it down.
She is most definitely America Strong.
Dolly Parton with her new message tonight.
She knows many are worried about her health.
So here tonight, Dolly, in her own words.
I wanted to say, I know lately, everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am.
Do I look sick to you?
I'm working hard here.
Anyway, I wanted to put everybody's mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate.
But I want you to know that I'm okay.
I've got some problems, as I mentioned.
The doctor said, we need to take care of this.
We need to take care of that.
Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things
so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt,
you know, where I'm kind of having a few treatments here and there.
But I wanted you to know that I'm not dying.
Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate.
Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
vaccine vaccine vaccine because once you're dead then that's a bit too late i know i'm trying to be funny now
but i'm dead serious about the vaccine and there it is i figured we'd we'd start to show off with the
bang yes i didn't know she did did that little ditty oh yeah we we played it on the show it was part
of the you know it was a hamburglers when quomo was offering burger and fries and
No, that was de Blasio.
I'm sorry, the de Blasio, yes.
And what were the other things?
Movie tickets, all kinds of stuff.
And then Dolly Parton got in on the game.
There you go.
So, I see.
Well, I guess that summarizes it.
Pretty much.
Later on, I do have a thing about the vaccine court, but that's not for now.
You want to do your three by three?
Because you got one.
It's always exciting.
The crowd is a crowd pleaser, a fact.
fan favorite. Everybody always wants to know
what's happening. Now it's time for three by
three. It is an experiment
by JCD. What do we do?
Comparing stories from ABC
and E.S. And B.C.
The never-ending
3-by-3. That's right. 3-by-3.
John's got the big headline news
3-by-3 on the big 3 networks.
For as long as they're still on the air, we might as well
compare. They're on the air. They're on the air.
They're on the air, so we compare.
Well, let's start with
ABC. ABC it is. On President Trump's orders, a plane carrying 200 National Guard soldiers,
now heading from Texas to Chicago, against the wishes of the city's mayor and the governor
of Illinois. Let me be clear. Donald Trump is using our service members as political props
and as pawns in his illegal effort to militarize our nation's cities. The president calls it
a necessary part of his crime crackdown. But Governor J.B. Pritzker, who was
fighting back in court calls it an unconstitutional invasion of the state of Illinois.
Trump and the thuggery that his agents have brought has actively made us less safe.
The president tonight says that's just not true.
It's like a war zone. And then I listen to the governor and the mayor get up and say how they
have it under control. They don't. I believe that the Portland people are scared.
You look at what's happened with Portland over the years. It's a burning hellhole.
But over the weekend, a judge President Trump appointed himself says when it comes to Portland, the president's assessment is, quote, simply untethered to the facts, blocking the deployment of the guard in the city.
The president has focused on a group of protesters that have camped outside an ice facility in Portland.
But Judge Karen Emmergut says those protesters are not significantly violent or disruptive, adding, this is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.
David, tonight, as these legal battles play out in both Portland and Chicago.
President Trump says he's considering invoking the Insurrection Act using emergency powers that would allow him to go around the courts to deploy the National Guard to both of those cities, David.
Yeah, and we should probably point out, we got an email from one of our producers who was mad.
Like, you are laughing at what's happening in Chicago.
They're terrorizing brown people.
And, uh, yeah, they had some vague clips.
Yeah, clips of a, of a guy blocking ice and they threw a smoke or teard.
tear grenade and another black guy.
He arrested a guy who got arrested.
Kidnapping, he called it.
Kidnapping.
I mean, the propaganda is strong on this one.
Our own people are falling for it.
It's interesting.
I ended up having to block that guy.
Oh, I didn't.
It wound up okay.
No, I got a nasty noise.
He says, I was a racist.
Well, if you're going to,
you're not?
I'm sorry.
No, I am not.
A racist. No.
No.
Well, yeah.
It was disappointing, to say the least, because his proof was literally none of that.
He's saying every brown person is afraid of being rousted.
And then he said, here's proof.
And it was nothing.
I think it's because you sent some crazy lives of TikTok video back and said,
here's your proof.
I don't think that helped the conversation.
Well, I did throw a little carcene on the fire.
That's true.
Yeah, just a tad, maybe.
But I figured I could just block him anyway.
all right bye uh okay well let's move on that was a bc yes i believe we had nbc's lined up protests
over immigration raids escalating in chicago tonight federal prosecutors charging an alleged gang
member with soliciting the murder of an unnamed senior law enforcement official taking part
in immigration enforcement there saying juan espinoza martinez posted in snapchat 10k if you take
him down authorities tonight also searching for the driver of this black SUV that the department of
Homeland Security says repeatedly rammed into ice agents in the white truck.
While at a separate event, police appearing to be tear gassed, though not injured, all
as President Trump faces new legal battles in his efforts to deploy National Guard troops to two more
cities.
Donald Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago as a hellhole was just complete BS.
After a federal judge blocked the president from deploying Oregon's National Guard to
Portland, where protests against ICE have been escalating.
Tonight, Chicago and the state of Illinois suing to try and prevent President Trump's deployment of troops there.
There was never an insurrection or an invasion on the ground that justified the deployment of the military to our American city.
Though tonight, the president saying he'd consider invoking the Insurrection Act.
Well, I'd do it if it was necessary. So far, it hasn't been necessary.
We have to make sure that our cities are safe.
As the White House blasts Democratic officials.
That's literally the quote.
they're using to say he's threatening with the Insurrection Act?
Is that that's the quote?
Yeah.
Wow.
American City.
Though tonight, the president saying he'd consider invoking the Insurrection Act.
Well, I'd do it if it was necessary.
So far it hasn't been necessary.
He didn't say he's considering it.
He didn't say that.
He said, I'd do it if it was necessary.
He didn't say I'm considering it.
And he says, I don't see it as necessary.
Yeah.
Justified the depar American City.
Though tonight, the president saying he'd consider invoking the Insurrection Act.
Well, I'd do it if it was necessary.
So far, it hasn't been necessary.
We have to make sure that our cities are safe.
As the White House blasts Democratic officials noting there were four homicides and 29 people
shot in Chicago this weekend.
But the governor saying ICE is the one escalating tensions, pointing to this dramatic DHS video
of a recent late-night raid saying children were zip-tied, which the agency denies.
Which I have still to see video.
of.
Yeah, and there was also this comment about him being thrown out in the street naked.
Yeah, naked, yes.
Yeah, you think somebody would be, I mean, they're taping everything.
You think that somebody would, the camera on that.
They're still taping, boomer?
Really?
They're still taping.
Well, I know how should you put a video in?
Yeah, recording.
Videoing is just an awkward word.
Just say recording, which kind of brings.
Recording, okay, there you go.
Yeah.
They're recording everything.
thing that they can and so you think that they would be recording that that but they're not
recording that for some reason no let's don't record that so so that's bull crap but then we move on
of course to the nothing to lose CBS although as we get into the Barry Weiss discussion later if we
do it yeah uh I don't think things are going to change much but CBS has been bought out and taken over
by David Ellison's operation
and so they either have nothing to lose.
Sky dance. Is it sky dance?
Sky dance. Can I just say that sounds pretty gay?
Sky dance. You know, like tiny dancer. I always think of
Elton John. It's Hollywood operation. Sure, sure sounds gay.
Oh, there you go.
No, sorry. Ready for CBS?
So they, so there's a fear that, you know,
they're going to turn into a right wing operation because of whatever.
and fear they have you know they don't have
you can't find enough right wing
reporters they've all given up on that gig
yeah the whole thing is a joke
but they're at the point where they're either
going to say screw it I'm going to
say what I feel like saying or they're going to be
kind of they're going to back off we don't know yet
but CBS this is their report
for the last three weeks clashes have erupted
outside the Broadview Illinois Ice Processing Center
protesters say federal agents in riot gear
used pepper balls and tear gas to push them back from the facility.
Dozens were detained as chaos spilled into the street.
In this confrontation, a local rabbi who had joined the demonstration was wrestled to the ground
by state police.
Over the weekend, President Trump ordered 300 Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago and
up to 400 from the state of Texas.
It's like a war zone.
It's probably worse than almost any city in the world.
But Illinois's Democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker, is pushing back, joining the state and city
in a lawsuit to block that order.
Donald Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago as a hellhole, a war zone, and the worst
and most dangerous city in the world was just complete BS.
Hundreds of National Guard troops now on their way, their mission to protect the one city block
in Broadview, where the ice processing center is located.
I'm at a Myanmar Gucci outside the ice facility in Portland, Oregon, where over the weekend,
Mayor Keith Wilson recently took us on a tour.
really the home of innovation. That's always what Portland has been known for.
But in seeking to deploy National Guard troops, the president has called the city war-ravaged,
and on Sunday said this.
Portland is burning to the ground.
We often talk about protests, but they're huge peaceful protests.
Mostly peaceful. I'm surprised. I got a very different report from NBC, from the nightly news,
which expanded much more on what Pritzker was saying. Did you hear any of
this? Play it. I'll tell you if I did. National Guard
troops are preparing to deploy to the streets of Chicago as the war of words between President
Trump and Illinois's gun. No, this is NBC. I think it's NBC.
No, that's David B. Orr. Oh, then it's ABC.
Governor escalates. President Trump calling for the jailing now of Illinois
Governor J.B. Pritzker saying President Trump has dementia and has something stuck in
his head and he can't get it out of his head. Calling President Trump's move and
unconstitutional invasion. Alice Prez in Chicago.
This is good stuff. This is show material.
I missed that. I didn't get to me.
No, wait. Wait, you get it. You're going to get the full Monty. Here, hold on. Here it comes.
Tonight, with 500 members of the Texas and Illinois National Guard preparing to fan out across Chicago,
charged with securing federal agents and properties, the president ramping up his attack on the mayor and the governor
who called a deployment an unconstitutional invasion. The president calling for their arrest in an online post.
Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE off.
officers. Governor Pritzker also. Everything we're doing is very lawful. What they're doing is not
lawful. But the governor calling the president a coward. He's demented, literally, unhinged. And this is
somebody who's so insecure that he lashes out pretending that he can come arrest people for no
reason at all. He can't. In the last 24 hours, Pritzker saying the president has dementia.
Aside from the fact that he's out of his mind and has dementia,
I, yeah, it's, it's clear to me that he is targeting Democratic cities.
Telling the Chicago Tribune, this is a man who's suffering dementia.
This is a man who has something stuck in his head.
He can't get it out of his head.
He doesn't read.
He doesn't know anything that's up to date.
Man, it sounds like that podcast, the Taco Tits podcast.
He's got something stuck in his head.
He doesn't read.
he doesn't do anything he doesn't know anything he's no good he's got dementia i don't know that
yeah it was just a dumb report yeah but it was funny it was definitely funny yeah i like it
that's ABC's off the rails um they may be the worst of the group
they've gotten the worse than CBS well it should all change let's do Barry
Because that's, you know, we talked about it when it was rumored.
And, of course, now the rumor appears to be true that Skydance has purchased Barry's
news outfit, her substack.
Yeah, I had a lunch with a friend of my ex, but he's been, I haven't seen him for a decade.
He used to be at the Wall Street Journal and entrepreneurial guy.
And he's bitching about this.
And I, and I had to harken back to some of the things I witnessed when I was at Zip
Davis with some of these companies and the fact that you know they they bought a uh which
basically a blog the very wise free press no it's worse it's a substack it's actually on someone
else's platform it's basically a blog well it's a blog on a blogging platform there you go there you go
and so uh and i can't fault substack i mean i do a substack thing and they do a good job of getting
their stuff shipped and
And so they spent 150 million bucks, but I don't believe it for a minute.
My thinking is the following.
We need to get you over to CBS, Barry.
So what we're going to do is going to buy you out.
And we, well, okay, you can buy me at how much you think I can get here?
Well, you know, we can give you a couple million.
That would be reasonable.
Okay.
But can we do a deal here and you can make, can we both make a joint announcement that's
$150 million.
Well, maybe she got some stock.
No, she didn't get any, she didn't get $150 million.
And so, uh, in stock or anything.
And so, although you could do some stock, you know, some kind of a scamish stock thing,
you know that.
And, and so, okay, well, let's make that announcement.
So this friend of mine says you can't, there's a public company, you can't do that.
And then my thing it was, look, have you ever seen, for example, just the, it's,
I don't know if people out there get a copy of this.
The Disney, for example, the Disney org chart with the thousands and thousands and thousands of little elements that are involved,
you don't think you can't hide a couple million dollar transaction and then put something somewhere else and make it look like you actually got, you know, bought it for 150.
It's so it's just creative bookkeeping.
So I don't believe for a second she got $150 million.
Hmm. Has there been any official announcement that it was 150 month?
Yeah, it was announced over a couple of times.
It was said they both said it was.
Now, whether that, I didn't see it on the, you know,
it wasn't announced on a 4K or anything that I know of,
but it's maybe if it was in a 4K, I'd believe it, but I don't see that.
But this is Skydance, not Disney.
Is Skydance public?
No, I'm just saying, no, I'm just, Paramount has the same.
I was just making the point that if you look at the org chart,
of these giant corporations and Disney being the best example, you can hide, you can hide it.
Yeah, yeah, put it under a talent acquisition.
Or you could put it under any, it doesn't matter.
The whole thing is just that you can't find it.
You can't find these numbers.
So you can say you spend $150 million and you gave her a couple mill, maybe.
And then she's off now doing this stuff over it.
she'll be editor-in-chief.
And this is another little ditty that I noticed.
And the editor, editor-in-chief, that is a publisher's position.
There is no editor-in-chief at a news organization on TV.
There's editorial directors.
Hmm.
There's, you know, there's all kinds of chief of this and chief of that, or you can be the...
Well, hold on. Hold on. This is an important point.
If she's editor-in-chief, she may be...
editor-in-chief of the blog?
Well, she's still always going to be that.
Yeah, but that's my point.
They specifically said editor-in-chief of CBS News.
Okay.
Editor-in-chief of CBS News, which is a meaningless title in the television news business.
So she actually won't be running the television news division.
How about that?
I don't think she's going to be running it at all because she's not even going to be the reporting
system is off.
But I think she's going to have some
influence, but I don't think it's going to be
meaningful. And I think I sent you,
I don't have a clip from it, but I sent
you, because you know, we're talking about
Glenn Greenwald, who's
a little wordy to say
that you mean, Mr. Wordy. Oh, he hates
Barry Weiss. He doesn't
like Barry Weiss at all.
He hates it. And he says
on his rumble
Rumble channel.
He says that she's just
She's just a pro-Israeli, a pro-Israel, anti-woke.
Schill.
Schill, who doesn't, she's no different than anybody else that's working in media, period.
She's not like, she's not going to shake things up.
I think she's just in charge of the CBS News blog.
I think that the title is correct.
Well, that's a possibility, too.
But let's listen to these clips.
All right.
This is MPR.
NPR.
Minnesota Public, no, it's NPR.
I put NPR because I made a mistake and I just copied it over.
That's no problem.
CBS News is expecting to get a new editor-in-chief.
Barry Weiss, the founder of the free press,
which she started as a response to mainstream news outlets
like her former employer, the New York Times.
With that move, CBS seems to be taking another step to appeal to the right.
And the parent company is also acquiring Barry Weiss's publication.
NPR's David Fulke,
Conflick is here to discuss all of this. Hi there, David.
Good morning, Steve. For those who don't know, who is Barry Weiss.
So, Barry Weiss is a writer and editor. She started out writing for tablet and a publication
about Jewish affairs. She wrote about opinion and books and also edited at the Wall Street
Journal for its opinion pages. And she enjoyed the opinion pages in New York Times as sort
of a right-of-center contrarian, made a name for herself, wrote increasingly under her own name,
and then left with a huge blast in July 2020. It's sort of the peak of the social justice
movement. She accused her colleagues in a letter she posted publicly that she sent to the publisher
of the New York Times, A. G. Salzberger. She accused her colleagues of bullying her and creating
essentially an illiberal atmosphere unwilling to tolerate debate and dissent in what she said was
the smothering culture there and created the free press kind of in opposition to that as a home
for people right of center who saw the press, the media writ large, as being reflexively somewhat
liberal. Somewhat. Just a tad. Just a little bit liberal.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
You know, the funny thing is,
I don't have this clip either.
I got enough, if you notice, I have enough clips.
Yeah, you got 29 clips.
You're over-clipped?
So the, she had a little ditty.
I was on Twitter.
She went on and on about how, what's happening.
And again, wordy, she's just like green walls.
You can't, you know, yuck, yuck, yack.
She says, and so we have our, and she called her,
the group of people
that do writing
for the free press
that blog
she calls them
a band of misfits
she used the term
misfits
to describe her staff
I thought that was like
personally
if I was
writing for her
and I was
you know
in other words
I can't get any work
I have to work for you
I mean I thought
it was an insult
a high insult
that she just
casually
you know blathered off
a very, I was offended and I didn't even work there.
Hey, she's got $150 million on paper, literally paper.
So, yeah, she's called FU money, baby.
FU money, you do whatever you want.
Yeah, I get it.
I'd be like that too.
Yeah, well, there you have it.
Just forward.
And she gained a lot from that departure in the end, built up a brand new organization,
built up a big subscriber base, attracted a lot of deep pocketed investors,
and now moves to a mainstream media organization,
but what exactly will she do there?
Well, it's a question I'm told by folks inside the network
that it's kind of fluid,
but she's editor-in-chief.
She certainly will be able to have almost whatever remit she wants.
People aren't expecting her to take command of logistics,
deploying people to cover a war or a hurricane or something.
She doesn't have experience in that kind of complicated calibration and moves,
but I think she's going to be working with Tom Sibrowski,
who's staying on as the president of CBS News,
to kind of set the tone.
to figure out the scope of coverage, the nature of coverage, the tenor of coverage.
You know, she can have a finger in every pie.
She's still going to be running the free press, which is this right of center publication that
will still have its brand separate from CBS News.
But, you know, that's the question that I'm hearing from folks inside.
They're like, is this going to be that she's bringing a contrarian voice or is she somehow,
you know, as part of the discussion of how coverage is set, or she's somehow going to be more
of an ideological enforcer at a time where there has been reaction to the press and criticism of it from
the White House and other quarters. And tremendous pressure on CBS specifically.
Yeah, so there's a lot of pressure. She has 1.7 million subscribers. I'm not sure how many of those
are paying subscribers. About every 10 posts is a subscriber post only. So she could conceivably be doing
several hundred thousand dollars a month, you know, 10x that. Now,
But I see where they can Silicon Valley-wise calculate some value.
No.
No.
Just no.
No.
It's not true.
You heard it here first.
It's not true.
It will come out.
Never come out.
These things never come out.
There's all private deals or they're hidden.
They're swept under the rug.
Who knows?
All right.
But it's beside the point.
It's just a, you know, a splash.
It's to make a lot of noise.
Oh, look at what you can do.
I think I should start one, too.
so you did the oasis you're waiting for the call for skydance sky dance i'm waiting for your call
so here we go with the end of this this does raise an interesting question because you can have
opinions about the news but then you have an institution with many hundreds of employees around the
world and the question of how they deploy themselves how they cover it how you work the mechanics
of that that can matter as much as your outside opinion of what you're
going on. That's right. I think that the real question is going to be how Weiss sees
herself. Is she seeing herself as a change agent or a disruption agent in the model of Elon Musk in
the early Doge weeks of Trump administration? Or is she seeing herself as an important and defining
voice for CBS but an institution worth preserving with, you know, major tent polls like 60 minutes
that have been so defining for American broadcast journalism for so many decades. And so I think
inside CBS, there's a willingness to entertain a different way of thinking about the news and also
an apprehension about are they ultimately going to be adhering to the same set of values, even if
it's interpreted in slightly different ways.
Both the openness and the apprehension. Very interesting. David, that's very interesting.
That's our media correspondent, David Ford.
Oh, very interesting.
Hey, um, 18 years and we've never been called change agents. I'm kind of disappointed.
So one of the things that people should note is that the real key in media and changing the way the propaganda is set up and pushed out is simple.
It's just story selection.
Sure.
You have two pairs and you see it all the time.
That's why Twitter and all these guys will bring up this and Fox will do it.
They'll bring up stories that the mainstream won't talk about.
the idea of this character jones who threatened or didn't threaten but he said they should put
two bullets in his opponent's head and what and this kid should why or this kid should die in his
mother's arms and he's just a sick guy it was there's a they did a graphic and it was covered
for 63 seconds on nbc CBS did not play it at all and neither did a bc a bc for sure and
NBC had 63 seconds of coverage of this, which Fox is just hounding because it is affecting the campaign.
And you're just going to see the same thing with this Katie Porter thing, which is blowed up.
But as long as you blowed up on social media.
Yeah, even I saw that.
And this is some numb nut who's running for governor.
Numb nut who's winning the race for governor.
Oh, she's winning the race for governor.
Oh, that's even worse.
She's ahead by every, on every, she's ahead by 17 points over all the competition, this woman.
This is, she was anointed, she was the anointed one by the Democrat Party in California.
Wow.
She's, she's a, she's a pig, basically.
Yeah.
You can still get out.
There's time.
You can still do it.
So, um, why?
It's too much.
It's a hoot.
Yeah.
Speaking of M5M, the numbers now are in.
Of course, you won't see it as a headline.
After his glorious comeback, Jimmy Kimmel sheds 85% of his key viewers.
Yeah, they drop right back, probably a little bit below what it was before.
Yeah, yeah.
So they're going to have to come up with some other gambit to get rid of more.
They're just going to have to write it off.
I mean, they have to do something with that.
They can never go for that again.
no what they could they could have done it by being honest and saying look our rate the ratings are
this is cause why don't they just come on be honest well actually the ratings are crap that's
costing us a fortune to do this show we're killing it you know they could do it now now that
think about it they could say you know oh you're right jimmy had the resurgence exactly the right time
to do it yeah he couldn't hold on yeah he couldn't hold on to him that really shows that it's just
it's not going to work.
We tried everything for you, Jimmy.
We even brought you back, gave you the biggest comeback ratings of the century.
And he just couldn't do it, brother.
I'm sorry.
You got to go.
Yeah.
Now's the time to do it.
You can't just dilly-dolly.
And he said, on behalf of Skydance, we just can't have.
Oh, no, it's not in Skydance.
Ah, crap.
ABC.
It's Disney.
On behalf of Skydancer.
Tinkerbell says, we can't have you.
I'm sorry.
This would be the.
the time.
So the big, big, big, big news.
This is, oh, it flooded all of the timelines.
Everybody's talking about it.
It was the Dead Man Switch.
Have you heard about the Dead Man Switch?
I'm about to.
Well, see, now I don't know if now I'm afraid to do this because, you know, you're
already in a, I think you're in a bad mood.
Are you in a bad mood?
Are you trying to put me in a bad mood by?
saying that?
You're leading into this in a very awkward way.
Because of how you respond.
Twice.
Is this a story that?
Well, you build it up as everybody's talking about.
I don't know what you're talking about right away.
Before we do that.
Can I pull the rug out from under your thesis?
I got a note from Sydney.
And she says, Sydney, Sydney, Sydney, girl, Sydney.
She says, as a sincere and genuine fan of the show,
and Sister in Christ, which of course
gets my attention. I want to bring
your attention to the idea that you may be
being a bit overly mean and condescending
towards John on the show.
Yes. Let me finish
the note. It's been an
ongoing thing, but I feel like
it has gotten worse and worse, where you
almost show a complete lack of respect
towards him. And he is always,
and he is always so graceful and doesn't
feed into your passive, aggressive
shade. I'm sure you're not doing it with
malice in your heart. But come on, Adam. Let's try to be nice. I feel bad sometimes. It just feels like
you've hurt his feelings. We will all age and get older one day. Well, that part should get
left out. Now it's got to read the whole thing. And we should all hope that we have the mental
aptitude that John does. I know I'd be blessed to. So it's not nice to make fun of that. You act
like his clips don't matter or what he has to say doesn't matter. This is true.
Just have your own solo show.
Just have your, wait, I got to read it in the voice.
Just have your own solo show then.
Oh, but you won't do that, right?
Why?
Because John matters.
Well, she's got that too.
She must be a pro.
She's like a media analyst or something.
I sincerely apologize.
Of course, there's no, no agenda without the two of us that would never work.
I don't want to do my own solo show.
Your condescension works for me.
See, that's my point.
He likes it.
No, this is the dead man switch that Candice Owens has thrown the dead man switch.
See, this again, I never heard of this.
I went ahead this week and sent around a life insurance policy of troops, a package, rather, to people that I trust, a package filled with text messages, emails, private communications, videos, and private legal documents.
So if anything happens to me, you guys will know exactly who it is that has in making my life a living hell over the past couple of years.
People that are trying to bankrupt me, trying to bankrupt me and my family that are threatening us to sue us.
Everything that Kanye said was so real.
Okay.
And now at that point where you look back and you go, man, Kanye was right.
He was really saying something about what it takes to leave, you know, to fight for custody of your own soul.
Just leave me alone.
Let me say what I believe and you say what you believe.
Fight fair.
Why do you always have to make this threat to bankrupt people?
And I want you to know that those people, if anything happens to me,
they have my explicit permission to release it all,
detonate it all, expose all of these people in politics
and in the movement who behave like this behind the scenes.
It's necessary.
And I highly recommend every single person that is out there
that has a platform and is going through things.
I'm scared. Do the same.
Send everything around to about,
eight people that you trust. And I mean, I've ranged it. I sent it to journalists, text messages
and screenshots to people ranging from Max Blumenthal to Andrew Tate. They won't know where it's
coming from. Okay. So first of all, this is a recommendation we need to take seriously. I think we
should have our own dead man switch. Hold on a second. Let's just talk about her dead man switch first.
So she is making an implication. This is news to me because I don't, that's her, she's your beat.
Yes, my beat.
I haven't listened to a Candace Owens show for probably two years.
I don't listen either, but I could not avoid this clip.
It just kept getting sent to me.
So I presume our people are into this.
I don't get it.
So she's bitching about the Jews.
Wait, you're jumping the gun.
There's another part to this.
Well, let me finish what I think.
Yeah.
She's bitching about the Jews.
And she's sent around.
a bunch of because she said they're out to bankrupt they're out to this they're out to that
and all she's sending around is a bunch of payment due notices because she's not paying her
mortgage that's what it seems like to me she's blaming the Jews I think she's paying her mortgage
we'll get to that here's the second part three people told me off record two people
who have this in a written communication from Charlie
One, who was a turning point USA donor, and I would say very much one of the white knights in this.
Okay, we'll stick a pin in that because we will hear from one of the white knights in a moment because the white knight emerged after the dead man switch was thrown.
The very day before Charlie Kirk died, he expressed that he thought he was going to be killed.
He told these people, I think they're going to kill me.
Okay.
He did not express that to me.
That's why I'm telling you this, based off the testimony of the.
three people. Testimony. And I'm saying
this because I hope that these people who I think
are good will be inspired
to come forward with that.
Again, those conversations I had were off record.
I honor that. If I say it's off record,
it stays off record. But I'm hoping
that watching what I am doing
and feeling the energy that is rising
across the world for people who want to know
what the heck happened on 9-10
that, you know,
they will be brave and they will say
yeah, Charlie did the day before he died. I think that he was going to be
killed and maybe tell us who is they well for once and for all who is they who is the day that
he thought was going to kill him now to answer and others knew that charlie was done with israel
bullying him and i am now going to present you proof of what i am saying this is an actual group chat
which happened two days before charlie kirk was assassinated there were nine people in total on this
chat including charlie okay so she's talking about they and it's israel and we're not so it's a little
it was confusing to me. Is this the Jews? Is it Israel? I'm not sure who it is, but they are
coming after Candace and her family. And by the way, I don't think we need to be too worried
about Candice and her family. You know who her husband is, right? Oh, yeah. She's some rich
guy. Well, George Farmer, who was at Turning Point, UK. He was the CEO of Parlor. I'm just reminding
you.
And his family is really what's most interesting.
His dad, Michael Farmer.
He is a barren farmer, I should note.
And so he is a lifetime peer.
Duh.
So he's connected to the United Kingdom.
But we'll continue now with Candace's revelation of the text.
thread.
So Charlie writes...
Hold on a second.
So you're actually tying this into your nexus.
Oh, wait.
It's coming.
It's coming.
I knew it.
It's coming.
So Charlie writes in this group chat just lost another huge Jewish donor.
Two million a year because we won't cancel Tucker.
I'm thinking of inviting Candace.
Somebody writes, oh.
Charlie writes, Jewish donors play into all of the stereotypes.
I cannot and will not be bullied like this.
leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause.
So what are we to make of that?
Now that I'm showing you this and showing to you that the conversations were real,
I want you to reflect, and it took me a lot of patience to allow the lies that were being woven
and the misrepresentations and eulogizing Charlie as something and someone that never once flinched,
never once for a single second doubted.
the Israeli cause so so now here's charlie saying and you know he he did a whole roundtable
gen zers jensers and i think he was in general an agreement with them about Israel but not
about jews but about Israel so out emerges after candace posts her dead man switch
which i think she just told us what's in it i'm not sure what else could be in there
there that she sent to the, what's the guy's name, Andrew, what's his name?
The, I don't know.
Andrew Tate, he said, she said it.
Oh, Tate.
That's, yeah, that guy's on my list of Dead Man Switch operators, Andrew Tate.
So out of the woodwork emerges John Mappin.
And John Mappin's post is, by the way, I have a blue check mark.
I don't know how you get to post 500 words on X.
I just can't seem to get it done.
I think he had to pay.
Oh, he has to be a paying blue check.
And he's like,
if Candace Owens had been assassinated,
Charlie would have torn apart every lie
and devoted every working day and night
to uncover the full truth.
Candice is working hard to get to the truth
of who killed Charlie Kirk and why they did it.
Charlie's execution's assassination
with potentially far-reaching political consequences
for America and the world.
What we have seen so far, beggars belief.
I mean, who says beggars belief?
Oh, it's this guy, John Mappen.
International, this is from his own website.
International real estate, hospitality, construction, and media entrepreneur.
He is the seventh generation of the Mappin family to invest in innovative ways to deploy capital.
While his father, David Mappen, invested to develop the technologies that allowed the national treasure of North Seas,
oil to benefit the people of the United
Kingdom, John Mappen has taken
the family into new areas of investment
and innovation.
Inobitivation.
He has built a reputation as a hardworking,
progressive and inspirational businessman
with expansive philanthropic interests,
particularly the field of education
in free market economies,
environmental restoration, and
conservation of the natural world.
This is what got me.
John Mappin and his wife,
Arena Kudranak Mappin are the co-founders and originators of the global
reforestation initiative that became the conceptual backbone and inception point of the current
form of the Dutch green business, a publicly quoted main market listing on the Amsterdam Exchange
Euronext. Well, with that, I'm like, okay, here we go. It's fine.
With Adam Curry. Is that north of the next?
Here we are, because the North Sea Nexus has emerged to blame it on the Jews.
This is, it could not get any better.
Yeah, that's it.
You, piecing it together that way is good.
That was good.
Because the fact is, if anybody was going to kill Candice Owens, it would probably be the G, the DG.
S-E, which is the French CIA.
Well, so this will be the final time I'm doing this because I'm tired of it, but I just brought back a few clips.
The last time I'm going to explain how this works, and then I'll be done with it.
And then we'll have, because the last time we don't.
Well, this is a blatant lie.
I'm not so sure, because I'm bringing back clips from over a year ago.
And we've learned that people say, well, you never talk about the moon landing.
Well, we've only talked about it 8,000 times on the show.
And you can go to binget.io and you can find everything we've always talked about.
But it's our own fault because we've been doing this too long.
You know, and then we get jaded.
I agree with it.
I mean, we, it's not that we've been doing it too long as a, it is a disservice of the public.
What we've done is we've taken for granted.
Yes.
That everyone who's listening to the show as we speak right now has listened.
knows what we talked about 10 years ago.
Yes, that's the problem.
So from time to time, and I think annually would be okay,
I need to bring back a couple of things.
But first, we have to talk about what an idiot Netanyahu is.
He is truly, truly an idiot.
And this is the clip where he called Candice Owens and Tucker Carlson
and everybody else, the woke Reich.
and influencers, he said, we talked about the woke rite.
He said, I call it the woke rife.
That's a brilliant.
So he calls him the woke rich, which is, of course, really offensive to anybody.
I like it, though.
It would be a great show title, but still, it's like, I call them the woke rife.
So what do you think Tucker's going to say to that?
Like, of course.
Now, he was saying this, and then this is all being, I didn't have to do any work for this.
Just as popped up on my time.
Everybody's saying, this is what our people are looking at and talking about.
So that's why I'm bringing it up.
This was in front of a bunch of what the text says,
Christian Zionists who were on a work retreat to Israel under the auspices of Paula White,
who is the White House Faith Office leader.
And so this is, you know, so obviously when you're doing this stuff, it's a very bad take.
The woke right, because these people, you know, they're not any different from the woke left.
I mean, they're insane.
They're losing.
But they're actually meeting them on some of the things.
And what we have to do is we have to secure that part of the base of our support in the United States.
That is being challenged systematically.
A lot of this is done with money, money of NGOs.
vast money of governments vaster we have to fight back how do we fight back our influencers
i think you should also talk to them if you have a chance to that community they're very
important and secondly we're going to have to use the tools of battle yeah so our influencers
so already you're talking propagandistic terms and nobody's deaf out here we hear what you're saying
And so this is the classic TikTok.
We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we're engaged.
And the most important ones are on the social media.
And the most important purchase that is going on right now is class followers.
All right.
Then they went on like, we got to talk to Elon.
He's a friend.
So this all comes apart as a part of what Netanyahu calls the eighth front.
So one of the things we have fought now, a seven front, war, we have an eighth front.
And that is the front and the battle for truth.
So he's warring now on social media, which is in a way in our own backyard.
And the ADL, which I believe the FBI is now broken with,
we're not going to take any more information from you,
introduce this in Congress as well.
To recognize that there is an eighth front in this war,
it might not be a terrestrial border that you can find on a map
but this domain is as volatile
is as violent and is as vital to our future
the information sphere the infosphere
is the eighth front in this war
and seizing the high ground
and the fight for global public opinion is a battle
that's as important to the long-term war
as what you've done in Lebanon and Syria.
All right. So now, of course, we have to take into account that APEC absolutely is an American
Israeli public affairs committee. And they, as Massey said, everybody, everyone has at least one
APAC lobbyist. Now, of course, I will explain once again where that money comes from.
But when you're talking like this and you're talking to influencers and everybody's seeing what
you're saying and you actually do put your foreign money into.
something in the United States, it shows up on a FARA report for an agent report by the company
that took the Israeli money to do the following. And all you need is for Ian Carroll to get a
hold of it. Targeted geo fencing. Right there. Description. Largest geo fencing and targeted
Christian digital campaign ever. Geofense the actual boundaries of every major church in California,
Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, and all Christian colleges during worship times.
Track attendees and continue to target with ads.
So what that means is that Israel, the state of Israel, on this FARA registration, is disclosing
that a foreign state is paying for an influence campaign that will actively locate your
Your cell phone, if you go to church in any of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, they will target and track your phone at church.
And then when you leave church, they will continue to track you and send you customized Israel ads using Israeli money to back that campaign.
That's why we have FARA is so that they have to disclose shit like this.
Well, yeah. And so they did. And the funny thing about this is when you present it this way, you kind of forget that the Mars Corporation is doing this, you know, for dog food. This is how it's done. This is to, this is why phones are so beautiful because the geo fencing advertising, that's exactly what's happening.
Yeah, and that's why I keep my phone in a drawer. I don't understand why everybody doesn't adopt my policy. And you're not wrong. But this only.
this only fuels the conspiracy. And then Netanyahu does the dumbest thing he could do. Because he feels
it, he feels that this is turning into Jew hate instead of just plain old Israel hate. Which,
by the way, I'm fine with. You can hate Israel. I don't care. You can hate APEC. I don't
care. I don't like APEC either, especially not because I think that they're coming from a whole
different perspective from the military industrial complex. We'll reiterate that in the moment.
So Netanyahu feels this.
Oh, got to do some damage control.
What is the dumbest thing you can do?
Go on Ben Shapiro show and do it.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.
I don't know if Hill and Knowton advised him on this, but here's two pieces.
No, I guess not.
Oh, I know what I do.
Just call up Ben.
Explain to Americans, why should it matter whether America maintains a strong alliance with Israel in defense terms and tech terms?
Well, let me first start with America first.
Hold on, stop the clip.
Going back to that thesis, this is Ben.
Ben's the guy.
Ben's the guy who made the call.
Good point.
Hey, BB, we'll fix it.
We'll make it right.
I think you're right.
This is Ben's call.
But again, you should say, no, this is not the right form.
No, you don't even do that.
You call the Hill and Knowlton guy and say, should I be doing, what should I be doing here?
Yes, yes.
because I got to beg out in some sort of way.
Explain to Americans, why should it matter whether America maintains a strong alliance with Israel in defense terms and tech terms?
Well, let me first start with America First.
That's a natural position.
It would be unnatural to have a different position.
But America First doesn't mean America alone because all countries need allies.
And if you're without allies who may develop the technologies that indeed are needed for your defense
or the technologies that are needed for your offense or the intelligence to save your lives,
Why forfeit yourself of these allies?
The problem that you've had over the years, the United States, is that you didn't have these allies pulling their weight.
And Israel is an ally.
It's a fighting ally that pulls its weight.
Not only that, not only do we fight, we don't ask for Americans to bring boots on the ground.
We've done the job of defending ourselves pretty well, I'd say, over the last 77 years.
But it's not only that.
We've also defeated enemies who are your enemies who are trying to develop.
intercontinental ballistic missiles, armed with nuclear warheads to attack your cities.
That's what Iran was doing.
We just knocked out Iran.
Also with, as I said, with President Trump's very judicious and pointed assistance.
Now, bear all this in mind.
He said very specifically, and that's why I brought this clip in,
we don't have any American boots on the ground when we're doing this.
I know everyone's really upset.
You can't afford your rent, and we're sending $10 billion a year to Israel and military assistance.
I know.
The second clip was actually the.
meat and potatoes of the visit. But again, if you did this on Megan Kelly show, on Tucker Carlson
show, anywhere but on Ben Shapiro show, it would have had some traction. I wonder if you want
to talk a little about the relationship that you personally have with President Trump, which is obviously
in public quite warm. Well, it's in private play quite warm. Doesn't mean that we agree on everything
or at any one time we agree on every point. That's what we have a conversation for. Do you have
that in your family? A lot. Yeah? You want to see who wins out?
Your wife.
My wife always, yes.
Well, in this case, it's not our husband and wife situation.
It's a question of partners.
We're the junior partner.
Oh.
I mean, we have no, nobody should mistake that because...
We're the junior partner.
This is, this is the key.
We're the junior partner.
We're not in control here.
We're the junior partner.
It's a question of partners.
We're the junior partner.
I mean, we have no, nobody should mistake that because right now the liberty of the world,
the security of the world is dependent on the strength of the United States.
And I think what President Trump has done in a very short time
is bring America back to the front seat, to the driver's seat
and world affairs.
And that's very, very important because I think we all depend on America's strength
on its resolve.
And I think President Trump has made America great again.
I really believe that.
Okay.
So that has always been our point.
Israel is the junior partner.
And to take you back, and I've shortened these and only done a couple of them, Michael Hudson was there when this happened.
And I think President Trump, if you want to talk about a deep state, this is it.
The deep state is what was set up in the 70s, primarily through the State Department and the Department of Defense, military industrial complex, was to use Israel for everything we wanted to do in the Middle East, which always comes back to oil.
always. And the true dismantling of that is what Marco Rubio started to do under the auspices
of Doge is get all of these people out who were brought in specifically because of their
intense Zionist feelings about Israel. So yeah, that is, that is and certainly was a real thing,
but that is what is now being cleaned up. So it started back in the 70s. Michael Hudson was
there when it happened. Everything that's happened today.
was planned out just 50 years ago, back in 1974, 1974, 1973 and four.
I sat in on meetings with the ARAD who became Netanya,
who's a chief military advisor after heading Mossad.
And the whole strategy was worked out essentially by the Defense Department,
by neoliberals, and almost in a series of stages that I'll explain.
Scoop Jackson is the main name to remember.
Scoop Jackson was the ultra right-wing Neal Khan who sponsored them all.
He was the head of the Democratic National Committee in 1960 and then worked with military advisors.
I was with Herman Kahn, the model for Dr. Strangelov at the Hudson Institute during these years.
And I sat in on meetings and I'll describe them.
But I want to describe how the whole strategy that led.
to the United States today, not wanting peace, wanting to take over the whole near east,
took shape, gradually.
And to remind everybody, the reason why we did it this way is because after the Vietnam War,
before 9-11, but after the Vietnam War, it was impossible to get a draft going.
No one wanted to go fight any foreign wars very similar to they.
And why would you?
Because these are all banker wars and oil wars, et cetera.
The starting point for all the U.S. strategy here was that democracies no longer can field a domestic army with a military draft.
America is not in a position able to really field enough of an army to invade a country.
And without invading a country, you can't really take it over.
You can bomb it, but that just is going to incite resistance.
So this was recognized 50 years ago.
seemed at that time that the U.S.-backed wars were going to have to be scaled down, but that
hasn't happened. And the reason is the United States had a fullback position. It was going to rely
on foreign troops to do the fighting as proxies instead of itself. That was a solution to get
force. Well, the first example was to create the Wahhabi jihad fighters in Afghanistan as al-Qaeda
and Jimmy Carter mobilized them against the secular Afghan interests.
The Carter Doctrine, the nice Democrat, Jimmy Carter.
Carter justified this by saying, well, yes, they're Muslims, but after all, we all believe in God.
So the answer to the secular state of Afghan was Wahhabi fanaticism and Jihad.
And the United States realized that in order to have an army that's willing to fight to the
last member of its country, the last Afghan, the last Israeli, the last Ukrainian, you really need
a country whose spirit is one of hatred towards the other, a spirit very different from
the American and European spirit. Well, Bersinski was the grand planner who did all that.
So I hope people are starting to get the picture. When you hear Afghanistan, you hear Israel,
you hear Ukraine. This has always been the status quo of our State Department is we're going after
them, but we're going to do it with people who hate our enemy, whether it's Russia or whether it's
Muslims or whether it's oil countries. That has always been the system. And this is why Israel
was and still is important to us. When all of this strategy was being put together, Herman Kahn's
great achievement was to convince the U.S. Empire builders that the key to achieving their
control of the Middle East was to rely on Israel as its foreign legion.
And that arm's length arrangement enabled the United States to play the rule, as I said, of the Goodcock,
designating Israel to play its role.
And Israel is organized and supplied al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, while the United States pretends to denounce them.
And it's all part of a plan that's been backed by the military, the State Department,
and the national security operation.
And that's why the State Department has turned over management of U.S. diplomacy to Zionists
seemingly distinguishing Israeli behavior from U.S. empire building.
But in a nutshell, the Israelis have joined al-Qaeda and ISIS's troops as America's Foreign Legion.
And so in reality, the Jews were abused by the military industrial complex under the guide.
of A-PAC to get the money flowing and to always have more war and always rile everybody up about it,
because the whole system was indeed driven by what we would call Zionists, but it's all military money.
The U.S. policy, as I said, was based on the U.S. actually taking over all of these countries,
again, using Israel as the...
That, by the way, is the West Clark 7, all these countries.
Yeah, is the battering ram.
the army called America's landed aircraft carrier there.
Well, all this began to take place in the 1960s with Henry Jackson.
Initially, Israel didn't really play a role in the U.S. plan.
Jackson simply hated communism.
He hated the Russians, and he had got a lot of support within the Democratic Party.
He was a senator from Washington State, and that was the center of military and federal complex.
He was called, nicknamed the Senator from Boeing.
Jackson was fighting all the arms control.
We've got to have war.
And he proceeded to stuff the State Department and other U.S. agencies with neocons
who was planned from the beginning for a permanent worldwide war.
And this takeover of government policy was led by Jackson's former Senate aides.
These Senate aides were Paul Wolfowitz.
Richard Burrell, Douglas Fife, and others who were catapulted into the commanding heights of the State Department and more recently the National Security Council.
The Jackson-Bannock Amendment to the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 became the model for subsequent sanctions against the Soviet Union,
claiming that the claim was it limited Jewish immigration and other human rights.
So right then, the State Department realized here is a group of people who we can use
as the theoreticians and the executors of the U.S. policy that we want.
They both want to take over all of the Arab countries.
I don't think there were any non-Jewish Americans that had that visceral hatred of Islam
that the Zionists said, or also the visceral hatred of Russia, specifically for its anti-Semitism
of past centuries, most of which was in Ukraine, by the way.
Exactly. And now you understand Victoria Newland, why she was involved in Ukraine, always getting
other people to fight for us. And I believe, truly believe, President Trump doesn't want that.
And he's dismantling that, but it's a big system to dismantle. And part of it has been
giving the military more money, giving them other things to focus on.
Golden Dome, big beautiful ships.
Hey, we're going to get your money.
We don't necessarily have to be killing people all the time.
And the media has been so complicit in this that you've got to wonder if you are listening to this podcast and you're basically in line with crazy Palestinian protesters from the river to the sea.
Doesn't that tell you something?
That doesn't make a lot of sense, other than this has been a system that has been going on for as long as I've been on planet Earth.
It's a long time.
So how was the media complicit?
This is the former AP reporter talking about how all of our reports coming out of Gaza were completely corrupted.
As far as I know, I was the first staffer to erase information from the story because we were threatened by Hamas, which happened at the very end of 2008.
great reporter in Gaza, a Palestinian, who had always been really an excellent reporter.
We had a detail in a story. The detail was a crucial one. It was that Hamas fighters were
dressed as civilians and were being counted as civilians in the death toll.
An important thing to know. That went out in an AP story. The reporter called me a few hours
later. It was clear that someone had spoken to him. And he told me, I was on the desk in
Jerusalem, so I was kind of writing the story from the main bureau in Jerusalem. And he said,
Matti, you have to take that detail out of the story.
And it was clear that someone had threatened him.
I took the detail out of the story.
I suggested to our editors that we note, in an editor's note,
that we were now complying with Hamas censorship.
I was overruled.
And from that point in time,
the AP, like all of its sister organizations,
collaborates with Hamas censorship in Gaza.
What does that mean?
You'll see a lot of dead civilians and you won't see dead militants.
You won't have a clear idea of what the Hamas military strategy is.
And this is the kicker.
The center of the coverage will be.
a number, a casualty number that is provided to the press by something called the Gaza Health
Ministry, which is Hamas. And we've been doing that since 2008. And it's a way of basically
settling the story before you get into any other information. Because when you put, you know,
when you say 50,000, 50, 50 Palestinians were killed and one Israeli on a given day, you know,
it doesn't matter what else you say. That's always been your complaint, John. The Hamas
medical information bureau. Yeah, the fake number.
Yeah, fake numbers.
Statisticians have come out and determined that these numbers are fake, just based on theory.
Well, it gets even worse because now you only really have three kinds of reports coming out of this region.
The numbers kind of tell their own story, and it's a way of kind of settling the story with something that sounds like a concrete statistic.
And the statistic is being, you know, given to us by one of the combatant sides, but because the reporters sympathize with that side, they're happy to.
They're happy to play along.
So since 2008, certainly since 2014, when we had another serious war in Gaza, the press has not been covering in Gaza.
The press has been essentially an amplifier for one of the most poisonous ideologies on earth.
Hamas has figured out how to make the press amplify its messaging rather than covering Hamas.
There are no Western reporters in Gaza.
All of the reporters in Gaza are Palestinians, and those people fall in.
two, three categories. Some of them identify with Hamas. Some of them are intimidated by Hamas and
won't cross Hamas, which makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't want to cross Hamas either.
And the third category is people who actually belong to Hamas. That's where the information from Gaza is
coming from. And if you're credulous, then of course you're going to get a story that makes Israel
look pretty bad. Exactly. So I'm going to land with the plane with this. The problem I have with
this is that people are confusing Zionists with Jewish people and Candace Owens throwing gasoline
on the fire by saying those people, they're bankrupting me, it's the Jews.
As you identified, she's saying it's the Jews.
And as I was thinking about this, I'm like, I have seen this movie before.
I have seen this movie before.
The movie is actually called Bonhofer.
and a guy named Eric Metaxus, he's a, I think he's still a pastor,
but he wrote a book called A Letter to the American Church about a year ago.
And it's about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor in Germany during World War II
and the church in Germany, when the trains are going by with the Jews being carted off,
and just to cover up the screens, the screams of the people in the cattle cars,
The church said, just turn up the music.
Just sing a little louder so we don't have to hear it.
Here's a quick Eric Metaxus, and it really accentuates the point.
You know, the lie that he was dealing with in his day,
it's the same lie we're dealing with in our day,
which was what led me to write my book letter to the American church,
what would Bonhofer say today?
It's the same excuses being given by the church.
We don't do politics.
What do you mean you don't do politics?
Slavery is an issue, and you say, well, we don't take a position.
That's political.
We just do church.
How can you do church and not take an issue on enslaving human beings?
That's politics.
My hero, William Wilberforce, I wrote a biography of William Wolverfordford.
He was a politician who, because of his Christian faith, said, I must stand against the slave trade.
This is a satanic abomination treating human beings like this.
I'm going to use politics and culture and whatever I can do to change the laws.
That's our duty as Christians.
This is our duty as Americans.
And so Bonhofer was trying to get the church to see it in his day.
And again, many were like,
we don't want any trouble.
We're just going to do church.
We'll let the evil take over.
We don't care.
It's not affecting us.
It's affecting the Jews.
God judges that.
It's affecting the Jews.
We don't care.
And so that's the only issue I have with it.
I'm not doing an A-PAC commercial like people.
So how much an A-PAC pay you guys to say that I do not want war.
I think President Trump has the right idea.
Let's clean everything up.
Let's stop the fighting.
in Ukraine, in Gaza, fine, rebuild it. All the Arab nations seem to be on board. He seems to
really be trying to make peace. And the kicker to it all is this was actually Charlie Kirk's vision.
Our vision, and it might be foolishly optimistic, but I haven't called that before. Now you can
kind of see it. We want a thousand Dietrich Bonhoeffers. We're not going to say like we're going to
create them. I want to find them and encourage them. That's it. Find and encourage. Find and
encouraged. That's it. Because I'm not going to, like, train people or, like, I just want to find
and encourage. Here's just a branding idea. Dietrich Bonhofer died as a martyr. Yeah. Go with a thousand
Martin Luther's. It's got a little more. That's fair. I like the Bonhofer, because of the
circumstances, the tyranny. Yes. Yes. And but, you know, I also like the Bonhofer because I never
want to make anyone feels if I'm being anything but honest. It's going to cost us something. God
forbid our life like that. But eventually we're all going to have to go to heaven. And so Bonhofer is the
example of, hey, I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have for God's purpose on Earth.
But I hear you. It's not exactly the greatest salesperson.
No, no, no. I suppose I'd rather die on a glorious martyrdom than by getting a Doritos stuck
in my throat. They say you die twice when you actually die in the last time somebody mentions your name.
Bonhofer will be mentioned, I think, as long as human beings have breath.
There you go. So Charlie Kirk understood very well what was happening. And he even said that some
of these Jewish donors are so stereotypical. So are there bad Jewish?
Donors? Absolutely. But is the system, is the system that we need to fight against? Is that the
problem? Yes. And I think President Trump is doing it. And we all need to just chill out a little bit
on how the Jews are running everything. They run the media. Well, they're doing a great job of that.
They run social media. They're going to buy TikTok. Oh, yeah, that's really going to change anything.
No. So just chill out on the Jew hate. That's all that I'm asking for.
The North Sea Nexus report with Adam Curry.
Could not have been more dramatic.
And the North Sea Nexus is fueling this nonsense with Candace Owen and her royal family.
So, we don't have to do it for another year.
Ha!
At least not about APEC, for sure.
sure.
They'll come up within two months.
Okay, maybe, maybe.
Okay, well, I'm glad you got that out of your system.
Yeah, yeah, I did.
By the way, we just bought $6 billion worth of ice breakers from Finland.
It gives us something to do.
Yeah, you got to spend more money, man.
We've got to spend the money.
Hey, Europe, by the way, this is really, speaking of military industrial complex,
I think you have a couple of Macron analysis clips.
But at first we had Herr Ursula this morning surviving her second no-confidence vote
because they're really fighting her.
And I have a feeling that this is all about the, because, you know, Europe is in a whole.
They're going to borrow more money.
And where's that money going to go?
Germany.
It's all going to go to Germany.
It's all going to go to Germany.
And I think this prime minister and Macron and all these guys,
I think they screwed it up.
And they're not going to get any of that money.
And it's because Germany is, as usual,
Germany is running the show in the European Union.
This report kind of says it from F24.
Well, Emmanuel Macron has been president in 2017,
and he's had, as we were hearing before, seven prime ministers.
This is the shortest reigning prime minister,
Sebastian LeCornow,
but some of the previous ones have also been pretty short.
And the reason for that is that during the first term in office, five years, from 2017 to 2020,
things were going fairly okay from Manuel Macron.
He had a majority in Parliament could pass the policies that he wanted to get through.
But when he was re-elected in 2022, he wasn't given a majority in Parliament to be able to push through more reforms that he had planned.
And that has led to him calling snap elections last year after the far-right national rally did very well in the European elections,
thinking that with that he could win back a substantial majority in the National Assembly
and push through these reforms that he wanted to push through, notably to try to reboot the French economy
because there's a 3.3 trillion euro debt that France has right now, which is absolutely colossal
and is preventing the country from reorganising its public services, basically.
from boosting the war economy.
This was all about the money.
They can't get it together.
And how many people live in France?
40 million?
Do you happen to know?
There's more than that now.
I think it's more like 50.
Well, that's 40 million French.
And the rest are all imports.
Well, I don't know.
But that's like our level debt per capita.
It's high.
And they have issues.
But you have to remember, the French have had nothing but issues.
I mean, this is the fifth go-round of re-organing their government.
This began in 1958.
There never used to be a president like there is now.
And it just called the Fifth Republic.
And it started in 1958.
Was that the military guy?
What was his name again?
No, no, that's before.
That's a fourth republic.
That was your thing of the Gaul.
No, no, the guy, or maybe it was the Gaul.
Yeah, okay.
De Gaulle was running things, but it was a parliamentary system, like you have in England,
but England also has a monarch.
And so the parliamentary system, it's the prime minister is the big deal.
But in France, they came up with this, during the Fifth Republic, they redesigned the government
and said, we have to have a president.
And so the president's going to be the guy who's really going to be running things.
And the prime minister is just going to be the guy in charge of making the laws get passed.
and so that started in earnest in 1962 as it evolved into a mess that it is and it all started
in the first place because the French had so many political parties they could never agree on
anything it was a it was a disaster they started a republic but they didn't do it right
well they're this was the fifth republic they've started a republic five times now
different versions get a clue people it's not going to work well it's not going to
to where they're doing it.
And now that they've had gone through, I think, four prime ministers in one year.
Yeah, something like that.
And this last guy says, you know, he just goes in.
He looks around.
He says, I can't do this job.
There's no, it's impossible.
I quit.
I'm out.
And so everyone's now, so, well, let's get rid of McCrone.
Maybe that'll do that fix things.
No, nothing's going to fix anything.
I have a couple clips.
I think McCrone wants to go into the European Parliament.
I think he would love to unseat Ursula, but he's got no juice.
He's got no power.
I mean, they have mirage jets.
They got all kinds of stuff.
But no one wants to buy it.
That's not going to happen.
No, that's what I'm saying.
European Parliament's even worse, more of a joke.
They don't do anything.
So let's go with the French or France mess.
This is from NTD.
It's pretty good.
Political turmoil deepens in France after the prime minister's resignation on
Monday, his departure fuels mounting calls for President Amanem Macron to step down
amid a growing leadership crisis.
And to the international correspondent, David Bez, reports from Paris.
Following Prime Minister Sebastian Le Corny's resignation on Monday,
France's government is plunged into political chaos.
His departure comes after weeks of growing tension in Parliament
and a series of internal disputes over the government's handling of economic and social reforms.
Some experts call the situation a political.
deadlock.
Le Cornyu is the fourth prime minister to resign in less than a year.
According to legal expert and policy analysts, Regis de Castellno, the root cause lies in a
divided parliament, split into blocks that disagree on nearly everything, but can easily
unite to vote for a no-confidence motion to reject any new prime minister.
This situation is unprecedented.
The president appears very weak in a political system, where normally he should have significant
strength and leverage. But here we are with a completely blocked Parliament. There is no majority
whatsoever at a moment when there are significant worries over the economic, social, industrial, and
financial situation. It looks like France is a car without brakes, heading toward a wall at high
speed. That's the feeling it gives. It's an unprecedented crisis. Following the resignation,
three scenarios are possible. The appointment of a new prime minister snap legislative elections
or the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron.
The last option, once seen as unimaginable in France's political system, is gaining momentum.
Not only do 70% of French citizens favor Macron's resignation,
according to a poll by Odoxha Backburn Consulting,
but calls for him to step down now comes from his own political circle,
including former Prime Minister Eduardo Philippe,
who has suggested holding new presidential elections.
Oh, yeah, that'll fix it.
That'll fix it.
But what will fix it is actually taking the National Front, which is Lapin's operation, which has 140 seats in Parliament, and they won't give them any power at all.
No.
They're basically sidelined the right wing, which needs to take over France, and they won't let them do anything.
And so you have all these bickering greens and all these screwball little parties, socialists and communists and everything in between.
And they can't get it together because they don't like each other.
either. The thing's a mess.
They've got to get a majority
of the right wingers
have got to take over that country. They're not going to give
up that. They're not going to give anything up.
They never will. They'd rather
everyone die.
It's a pathetic situation. It's part two of these
clips. There are
many mistakes McCrone made to find
himself in this situation, which
explains why there are now so many calls
for his resignation. He
called for SNAP parliamentary elections
in 2024, and the outcome was disastrous.
Fewer than one in ten voters supported him.
That was a bad gamble.
Now, the opinion polls are catastrophic,
and we see his former allies,
who once supported him, turning their backs,
and trampling on him.
So who knows what will happen next?
I think it's unpredictable.
Resigning Prime Minister Le Cornew said on Wednesday
that fresh elections now seem less likely,
as parties are showing a desire to approve a budget
by the end of the year.
Yeah.
Good luck.
I don't see that happening.
I don't see Le Pen.
Le Pen can't even be it.
Her party can,
but she can't even be a part of anything anymore,
can't she?
Didn't she get banned for five years or something?
Yeah, she got some phony baloney legal action against her.
They pulled it, they tried to trump her, you know,
or they did.
They were successful.
They couldn't do it with Trump.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know how that, that's still debatable,
whether she can become anything.
Yeah, I don't think so.
Yeah, that's France.
And so that's going to be for a while the country is kind of a mismanaged.
Kind of.
Like super mismanaged.
Let me see.
I have some BBC clips here about, about EU.
You want to stay there for a bit?
Yeah, EU's good.
Well, no, it's not good.
This is going to be EU drone.
I got the EU drone clips.
Yeah, yeah.
You got drone clips?
I got drone clips.
Yeah, I got the EU drone.
This is called drone idiots.
It's also from NTD.
This are pretty good.
NATO members are fighting back against reported airspace violations by Russia.
Germany is on track to allow police to shoot down unidentified drones.
Shoot them down.
The European Union is highlighting an alleged targeted.
That, by the way, is not.
Not exactly true, but okay, I like how they position it.
Gray zone campaign by Moscow.
Indy's international correspondent Aryan Paul Starr has more.
Because every square centimeter of our territory must be protected and safe.
For our freedoms.
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says Russia is waging a targeted
gray zone campaign against Europe.
This includes airspace violations as well as sabotage and cyber attacks.
According to Van der Leyen, those.
will only escalate if the Kremlin is not challenged.
This comes after NATO members Germany and Belgium, Poland, Estonia, and Romania,
all reported recent incursions.
Some of them directly blame Russia.
One incident may be a mistake.
Two incidents and coincidence.
But three, five, ten.
This is a deliberate and...
Psychological operation.
Targeted gray zone campaign against Europe.
zone campaign great words and what does it mean what does it mean what is it gray zone she keeps saying
i don't know but i love it this is a deliberate and targeted gray zone campaign against europe
and germany's cabinet meanwhile allows police to shoot down underdentified drones other methods
available to down drones include using lasers or jamming signals to several control and
navigation links. We are creating the possibility for the federal police to use all appropriate
technical means against the drones. The new law is now awaiting approval from the German parliament.
Wow, they got to get a law passed to shoot down the drones. That's pretty interesting. Why do they
need to pass a law? Why don't you just take a shot at it? Yeah, I'm sure. You got a bunch of
unidentified drones flying around. You're the police and you can't shoot them down. And what are you
going to use? A pistol? Meanwhile, NATO member of Lithuania,
is preparing to evacuate thousands of residents if the fighting in Ukraine spills over.
Just on Monday, air traffic was suspended in Lithuania's main airport
because of balloons in its airspace.
The nation's capital, Vilnius, is located just 12 miles from the border with Belarus,
a close ally of Russia.
Capital geographical location is unfortunately very close to border with thatch countries,
one of the fat countries, and we have to...
be prepared.
Hundreds of people took part in an evacuation exercise in Vilnius,
where approximately 100 residents were moved by train
to a sporting arena over 60 miles away.
And a top Russian diplomat says the momentum to find a peace deal
to end the fighting in Ukraine has been exhausted.
According to the diplomat, this is the result of destructive activities
primarily by the Europeans.
President Trump recently announced that the U.S.
will ramp up its support to Ukraine to fight back
since Russia doesn't seem to actually be seeking peace.
I think I've figured out what's going on here.
And it's from these BBC clips about the same topic.
Europe is the targets of a Russian hybrid war.
Russian hybrid war.
I'm thinking, where have I heard this hybrid war thing before?
Well, we heard it from our boy, our top sales guy, Mark Ritte.
Two things.
First, when we discuss hybrid,
that we realize that
is basically an umbrella
for sometimes
an assassination attempt on the
CEO of a big company, sometimes
the jamming of commercial airplanes
in parts of
NATO airspace,
sometimes even
cyber attacks. For example, and
I mentioned that before, the example,
you know, at the National Health Service
in the United Kingdom. So we have seen this.
We have seen the Scripal case in 2018,
March 2018 in the UK,
which was of course also an assassination attempt.
So these issues, we really have to consider
that this is next to the traditional warfare is increasing,
that we have to know what is happening,
that we have to know how we can make sure
that those doing this, if there's the Russians,
wherever we are behind this,
that we not only notice, but we don't accept it,
and that we will find ways to make sure it stop.
And that's what the hybrid strategy is all about.
Okay.
And if you'll recall, the way the 5% money was set up was 3.5% to NATO to basically buy our stuff.
And then the one and a half was for hybrid, for bridges to support the tanks, for cyber attacks, which is continuously mentioned alongside the drones.
But there's no evidence of any cyber attacks.
And indeed, the drone warfare.
So I'm now thinking, Europe has said, you know what, we promise all this money.
But first money out goes to hybrid war, which stays within our borders and doesn't go to the United States.
Europe is the target of a Russian hybrid war and needs to ramp up its defenses to deter future attacks.
That was the warning from the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, today.
She told the European Parliament that the recent series of air incursions were part of a campaign to devour.
divide EU member states and we can...
Oh, in a second.
So what you're saying is that these guys are trying to screw us out of our money.
Precisely that.
I think you're on to something.
It makes nothing but sense.
Yeah, they don't want to...
They're already irked by the fact that they got suckered into this three and a half percent
when they were given less than two percent under all the other administrations until this
guy Trump came along, who's gouged them.
Basically is what we're trying to do here.
Exactly.
And so they said they went along with the program because Ruta, who's the sales guy, who's just like no good.
I mean, he's good for us, but he's no good for them.
And he's, and they slip this one and a half percent thing into jack it up to five percent to make it sound even bigger when in fact we're getting nothing.
That's right.
And it's all going to Ukraine because they make the drones and the anti-dron technology, which I'm going to presume is just European tech companies,
Maybe Eric Schmidt is in there.
But yeah, I think this is exactly what it is.
Put first money out.
Got to go to the hybrid war, man.
It's like the drones.
Like, come on.
So to take that logic further, all these phony baloney drone attacks with the blinking red lights and all the rest of it.
I'm a drone.
I'm a drone.
And having to pass.
Yes, to make sure that you see them.
And having to pass a law.
and having to pass a law to shoot at them
instead of just taking them out,
which is what you do normally,
to make it,
you emphasize it even more and get,
and then have Lithuania,
evacuate a bunch of people
because of some stupid balloon that flies overhead.
And put them all in one stadium
for some reason where they can blow that up.
The whole thing is a scam.
Yes, exactly.
I'll go along with that.
That's it. I don't have to play any more clips. That's it. We're done. It's a scam.
It's a giant scam. And it's a scam to screw us. These Europeans do not like us.
No. And I think Ursula had to do this because they're very unhappy about her deal that she cut with Trump.
In fact, I have the call. Well, they're unhappy with the deal she cut with Pfizer.
and they can't seem to get to the bottom of that.
That's secondary. Listen to this.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has sailed through to no confidence votes in the European Parliament.
As expected, despite the victory, von der Leyen will likely continue to face challenges to her leadership from both sides of the political spectrum.
For more on this, let's go live to Brussels and our correspondent, Alex Gardier.
Good afternoon, Alex.
So will this have been somewhat of a bittersweet victory for the commission president?
Yeah, well, absolutely. It was actually quite a decisive victory for Ursula Vondo Lion.
Of the 361 votes needed to topple her and her commission,
the first no-confidence motion put forward by the far right only got 179.
The left then over the confidence motion fared even worse, with 138 in favor.
So clearly these challenges are running out of steam before they even left the station.
But nevertheless, it is still a consistent challenge to her Solvondolion's authority as European Commission President.
It will be seen as a constant thorn in her side.
Now, she will be heartened by the fact that clearly her centrist coalition, the European Parliament,
has rallied around her, has not abandoned her, as some feared they might.
But nevertheless, this will be a thorn in her Solvondalien's side when the European Union is facing any number of challenges,
be it the war in Ukraine, a trade battle with the United States,
complicated relationship with China.
These constant challenges remain a thorn in Ursula von der Leyen's side.
But today, as you're rightly said, Don, she completely sailed through.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's it.
That's it.
It's like, oh, I got to do something about this.
Everybody's mad at me.
I don't want them to be mad at me.
You make a drone wall.
I can't do her voice for some reason.
I can't get.
No, you're not even close.
I can't even get anywhere near her.
So.
Yeah.
So first money is not going to us.
Shh, shh, about the missiles for Ukraine.
We got drones, man.
And how's weak is this?
Like since, and these aren't Reaper drones.
These are quadcopters.
Quadcopters.
Amazon delivery drones with flashing lights.
Oh, and that you're right.
The audacity to cart people off on a train.
Hello, Europe.
on a train into a stadium.
You know, they've got everybody in Denmark all like,
oh, I got to get my water bottle and my flashlight radio.
We did that in the last show with a stupid go bag.
Yeah.
The cracker.
I got my cracker.
I got my flashlight.
I got my wind-up radio.
Yeah, I'm ready for the drone war.
I mean, how stupid are people?
And maybe they're not.
Well, the people who got on the train, they should know a lot better.
That was really.
They should really know better.
But this is a giant sci-op, and it's just to not send the money to us.
And I think it's, as we say, in the old country, a Wider Gutmacher from Ursula,
which translates to a good maker.
I'm going to make it good.
Don't worry.
I'm going to fix it.
I'm going to make a good.
Wider-Gutmacher.
I'll make it good.
now it's all set we're still going to borrow the money we're still going to give it to
Germany mainly and we're going to build stuff whatever but whatever we do we're not
sending it to Trump that seems obvious so there you go you can be you can sound smart at the
water cooler on on Monday or tomorrow even if you want yeah I think that's pretty good yeah okay
what else we got well there's a couple of things
Are we going to stay any more Europe stuff?
Do you have any Europe stuff?
I don't have any Europe stuff.
I got overseas voters thing, which is going on, which is they're making a big fuss on an NPR.
Should we listen to that?
Well, let me think of what else I got in here.
Yeah, think about it.
You think about it.
Let me think about it.
Well, actually, because you have the Antifa clips.
Did you see the note from our boots on the ground man in the Middle East?
From, yes, the guy who wants to be anonymous.
who talks to us quite a bit.
He's a very, he's a, but he's, yeah.
Yeah.
That was, you have the note?
Once you read the note, it's quite a good note.
I'll read his note because we both agreed with the note.
Yes.
I mean, we think, I think our analysis matches what he's seeing on the
cafes where they gossiped it up.
He's the gossip queen.
He's been to the Middle East.
They talk politics all the time.
He's the gossip queen of the Middle East, boots on the ground.
Jen, so we finally reached the point we expect it since,
October 8th. This was the expected result. We're talking about the hostages being released and the
battle lines being redrawn, all done by President Trump. This was an expected result. The main
aim is to eradicate all bad players and the last one left was Hamas, assuming that Iran is under
control now. We're going to assume it is. They've always been playing along with us. I actually
believe the hit in Doha was supported and coordinated by everyone, but they all left BB alone because
the op failed. Yeah, we call that
they left Beebe holding the bag
is what we say. This was an attempt
to clear the decks before,
decks like we saw before. Trump pushed the
Overton window with a
radical announcement of Margaza,
which make the current plan actually
digestible and sane.
This is so smart. And this
is what they're saying in the Middle East. Oh, yeah.
He did the whole Riviera to make
it sound crazy and then, oh, we're actually going to
do this. This is another effort
to get rid of political Islam groups
like the Muslim Brotherhood, Sunnis,
and all Shiite-affiliated groups like Hezbollah,
the Alawites, or the Houthis.
Keep an eye on what happens to CARE in the U.S.
That's the coalition of...
No, no.
Yeah, it is.
Care. C-A-R?
Is it a coalition of American-Israeli relations?
It's the council.
I'm sorry.
Council on American-Israeli...
No, Islamic.
No, not Israeli.
Yeah.
Let's get it.
Let's get it right.
Look at it up and read it.
Hold on a second.
I'm looking it up.
Who we are.
Our story.
Council on Arab, Islamic, or something, relations, I think.
You know, they don't even.
American Islamic, that's it.
Counsel on American Islamic relations.
There you go.
There you go.
So he says, keep an eye on care in the U.S.
That's the Brotherhood's branch.
Yes.
This is a known fact.
So the Brotherhood is under attack.
then care is a possible target.
Isn't that Elon Omar's buddies?
I think so.
I think she hangs out with them.
Maybe.
So we start first by, rightfully so, categorizing Antifa as a terrorist group.
Right?
Yeah.
All right.
So I play your clips now?
Yeah.
Start.
President Trump vowing to dismantle Antifa as the United States.
invites independent journalist to share their Antifa attack experiences.
It comes as protests in Portland highlight forces that could be fueling the violence.
Joining us now live as NPD's White House correspondent Iris Tao.
Good evening, Iris.
What is the president bowing to do at the roundtable today?
Good evening to as well, TIF.
So as anti-ice protests in Portland have been escalating and some cases turned violent,
President Trump today at the White House hosted a roundtable focused on Antifa.
which he just recently designated as a domestic terrorist organization.
He's vowing to follow the money and find out who's funding these protesters.
So we're going to be looking very strongly at the people that are funding these operations.
These are not people that write out their signs in a basement that believe in something.
These are paid anarchists.
We are following the money.
Money never lies.
And that's what it's going to take to bring down this network of,
Organize criminal thugs, gangbangers, and yes, domestic terrorists.
Yeah.
It's all going to lead back to the Open Society Foundation, I'm sure.
I think it might.
Oh, they'll make it.
All you have to do is go to GuideStar, look up the Form 990.
We're going to follow the money.
What they're going to follow the money is the people, they're paying protesters.
Yes.
and they have to find out who's paying them
and you just won't take it's like finding out
who's the real, the big shot in the drug dealing
you know, there's a guy's input goes to another
drug goes here, it goes there and it goes to some guy
in the street who says it to somebody at the end
and you got to go all the way back up the chain
and where do you always land?
It's not that hard.
Where do you always land?
City of London.
You watch.
They're going to follow it all the way back.
City of London's going to, oh, you guys are doing it.
Oh, okay.
Well, there was some mention these clips.
One of the clips that says that Antifa is really based in London.
Of course they are.
This is where all the trouble comes from.
And the president invited independent journalists from across the country who have been covering Antifa for years.
And among them, Nick Soder, who was just in Portland, got arrested after he was attacked,
while trying to save an American flag from being burned.
Also, there were journalists who covered Antifa and also experienced similar violence.
Oh, now I get it.
Is this whole burning the flag inciting a riot business?
Was this really a way to ensnare Antifa?
Is that what this was about?
I'm not sure, but there's definitely a scheme afoot.
I took this flag from that man that was burning it in the street.
Do you know who he is?
Oh, yeah, I know exactly who it is.
So why don't you give it to Pam?
Give it to the Attorney General, and let's start prosecutions.
The punches came from everywhere on my head and my face, and I was bleeding out of my eyes and ears, and then they threw all the drinks in my eyes to humiliate me further.
And during the roundtable, President Trump is asking these independent journalists to pass on any names they've collected to both the DOJ and the FBI to help identify the funders of these Antifa protests.
And meanwhile, Antiva is known for being decentralized and autonomous, but the administration is vowing to destroy it from top to bottom and break.
by break. They're smart, but they're not smart enough. They have been covered by these liberal cities
for so many years. And that's why we're all working with Treasury with all these different
departments to find the criminal conspiracy. Can you stop that for a second? Yeah, of course.
If you invited Pam Bondi to dinner, where she sit at the table and go, yes, thank you for inviting me
to dinner. Pass the wine.
Can you pass the wine?
I would like some salt on my meal.
Thank you for passing the salt.
Does she ever converse like a normal person or did she always talk like that?
That's a good question.
Not great, but it's a good question.
And for that very reason, she is uninvited.
She's off the list.
Covered by these liberal cities for so many years.
And that's why we're all working with Treasury,
with all these different departments to find the criminal conspiracy.
And just stated President Trump, while answering a reporter's question, says he is supporting,
potentially designating the international arm of Antiva as a foreign terrorist organization.
Yes, yes, a foreign terrorist organization.
What happened to domestic?
Yeah, that's an interesting little trick.
Yeah, because it was all domestic and now it's foreign.
Yeah.
City of London, baby.
North Sea Nexus.
You might be right on that one.
Yeah.
Well, why not?
It's a good thing.
I like it as a basic theme.
Yeah, people, lots of people seem to like it.
That's good.
And it's probably what's accounting for the problems in France.
Yes.
Now, the problems in the U.S.
Actually, you know, people not being able to afford their rent, et cetera.
I heard a very interesting thesis on this from the Gold Guns and Goats podcast.
Are you familiar with this?
No, I never heard of Gold.
Gold Guns and Goats.
Yes, Tom Luong.
I actually have played clips of that podcast regarding Stable Coin.
And, well, here's a lead-in because there's something changing with two major mortgage banks,
and President Trump has been all over, has his fingerprints all over this.
President Trump reiterated Wednesday that his administration is working to take mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public, but still keep them under U.S. government oversight.
Since the 2008 recession, both companies have been in a government conservatorship under the control of the federal housing finance agency, which was created by Congress to help manage the housing crisis as fallout.
That means both companies can still run as private businesses, but the federal housing finance agency oversees their operations and each company,
management and board report to the government. This happened because both companies were deeply
entwined in the subprime mortgage collapse that triggered the 2008 recession. Fannie and Freddie
buy mortgages from lenders like banks and then package several of them together at a time
into guaranteed mortgage-backed securities which investors buy. Lenders want this because it
gives them cash so they can issue more mortgages. And investors typically view them as safe
investments for two reasons. Fannie and Freddie guarantee a pay.
out to investors in the event of a default, and both companies are government-sponsored enterprises
so the federal government can help in a crisis. In the lead-up to 2008, Fannie and Freddie
began buying risky loans from people with poor credit ratings. The housing market crashed in 2007,
and Fannie and Freddie lost billions paying out on those guarantees and came close to collapse.
Financial experts worried if that happened, that could cause a deeper banking collapse.
So the federal government took over Fannie and Freddie
and gave them a nearly $200 billion bailout.
Since then, Fannie and Freddie have paid off the bailout
and have been profitable since 2012.
According to the National Association of Realtors,
Fannie and Freddie combined own or guarantee 70% of the mortgage market.
So in general, I thought that was kind of interesting
because I remember a lot of things going on in 2008.
We had just started the show.
And, I mean, I recall, like, the note going to, was it Paulson at the time?
Who was the Treasury Secretary?
It's like, I need a trillion dollars.
I remember that was like they voted on that.
I don't remember who it was, but yeah, there was.
Yeah, they voted overnight.
And the letters of credit was the real trigger that we noticed.
Right.
And so the assertion by Luongo here with Kokinda is that this was a socialist setup.
I like the theory a lot.
I don't know if that's entirely true, but it's three short clips.
I've been thinking about this a lot recently, but what you just said about owning a house.
And I've been thinking about Trump's singular focus on the realisting of Fannie and Freddie.
And I've been thinking about that.
I've been thinking about Brexit.
I've been thinking about Trump's first election.
I've been thinking about the 2008 financial crisis and how important the government-sponsored 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and all of those things.
And I say to myself, you know, if I'm a dirty commie, which these people are,
go through the planks of, you know, the unclenchable envy of Marxist political thought,
and you realize that their goal is always to destroy the middle class, right,
to take away their ability to generate generational wealth and to have a functional middle class
because a functional middle class isn't ever going to, you know, create the workers' revolution.
So you have to take the functional middle class away from them, take that lifestyle away from
them, radicalize them, hand them the unclenchable envy of Marxism to go animate their
their murderous spree and let's go, you know, let's go kill all the rich people who aren't
the ones, the rich people they can see as opposed to the ones that are actually pulling
on the strings. Who are really running it.
Yeah, they're actually pulling the strings, right?
Marxism is just, you've got another false dialectic just to allow these people to meet the new boss
same as the old boss as to who would put him. Right.
So when I heard that, I'm like, yeah.
No, by the way, he's nailing it.
Yeah. It's just true, the petite bourgeoisie, which is the kind of the middle class,
was always the Marxist moaned and groaned about it because that this group,
the middle class is a problem if you want a communist revolution because they won't
let it happen.
And who always prints up the signs, whether it's for BLM or for Palestine, it's always the
Socialist Workers Party of America.
It's always those signs.
But nowadays it's the world's workers.
World worker party, yeah.
But they always have that on the sign.
Always have that on the sign.
So here's how.
Yeah, they put a little promotion on their.
signs, which is a good market. Yeah, QR code. Like, scan this code. Come join the revolution,
comrade. And this is exactly what we're seeing. We're seeing very unhappy young people on all
sides of the political spectrum. Just saying the same thing. Now, of course, they forgot to throw in
the Jews there, because that's always a good one. And here's how it worked according to Luongo.
Now I'm thinking about this and I'm going, wow. So the entire 2008 financial crisis,
was the mechanism by which
to destroy the 30-year government-sponsored mortgage.
Okay.
That's why Fannie and Freddie were, quote, unquote, bailed out.
They weren't bailed out.
They were the bad bank that bailed out AIG.
Right.
Who was the one that was in trouble.
And Fannie and Freddie took the blame.
Obama took control of them,
put them in conservatorship,
stole their frigging profits.
They were never unprofitable.
And then turned around and used that money
to fund Obama.
care and keep them and they were in the plan was to keep them conservatorship forever and then
write new owner right new mortgage requirement underwriting rules that look like the the same
underwriting rules they have in canada and this is the payoff this is what happened we saw this in real
time so the whole point of this was then to go to the zero bound jack the interest rate down to the
zero jack housing prices to to infinity take away all the jobs de rascinate what's left to the
frigging suburbs. A lot of the private equity firms like Black Rock and everybody else
come in and buy a bowl of the single family, jack the prices up even further, then go through
a massive inflation post-COVID and everybody's standing around going, how the hell am I ever
going to get a job? How are you ever going to get a job to buy a house?
I like it. I like it, too. It's very funny. Yeah, especially with COVID.
Yeah, with the COVID bit. And let's get some inflation and make everybody is the kicker.
Yeah. Make everybody all just screw it all up.
everybody. Makes total sense to me. Yeah. Well, there you go. And in the meantime, man, me and my
brick. For the first time, gold has topped $4,000. Wow. Over the past 12 months, its price has risen
by 50%. A golden milestone, gold smashes through $4,000 for the first time as the U.S. shutdown fuels
that rally. The price of gold has hit a record high. By the way, thank you.
Thank you, Booley Stead.
Now you see why Gen Z 212 is so important with all their Discord stuff.
First, you ruin everything for Gen Z.
And then you give them a Discord server and tell them,
hey, let's go organize a protest.
You're bringing the umbrella people.
They start smashing windows.
You've got your Marxist Revolution.
This kind of fits.
yeah anyway it kind of fits as a thesis yeah gold at 4,000 holy holy mackerel well it's really
bothering everybody in the markets because you have bitcoin at an all time high you have gold
at an all time high you have the dow Jones in an all time high and you have the smp 500 in an
all time high something's got to give something is wrong with this picture something's got to break
somewhere for sure.
And Fifi is
beside herself.
She's been like,
oh, we need independent central
bank. Oh, I can't have this.
This is all going. We've got to
hurry up. Digital euro
to keep it as simple as
possible is digital
cash. And cash is
the remit of the central bank. And
the anchor of
our currency is
central bank money. If the world
going digital, central bank money
should go digital. That's the basic
most simplistic foundation
for the project that we are working on
and which is really developing well.
In addition to that, we wanted to be
simple to use, so user-friendly,
cheap, and
we wanted to constitute a
European solution to
payment within
the entire
euro area, and it can
be expanded to
non-Euro area countries within the
European Union as well under certain conditions.
Yeah, dream on.
Dream on.
Nobody wants your stinking CBDC.
I don't think so.
By the way, on the quad screen right now, Israel government votes and approves of the peace deal.
Trump is saying we ended the war in Gaza.
Yeah, well.
Well, we'll see.
Might end the fighting.
Well, that's hope.
It's definitely getting somebody's attention.
Yeah, but he's not going to be person of the year.
Have you seen the bets?
No, no, you have the bet.
You have the lines?
Give us the lines who's going to be person of the year.
I'm trying to see if I can find it now.
Well, I can tell you that President Trump is number two,
number two in the running.
And number one, person of the year.
Are you ready?
AI.
Oh, please.
Yep.
A.I.
And I think it's going to win.
AI will be the person of the year.
And it's only accentuated by the bevy of stories about the latest Elon Musk move, although we've been tracking it.
Because Musk is smart.
I will give him that.
He is pivoting.
He sees the product.
He knows that this is the product.
product of AI besides
memes, yes. Musk is reminding
me a little bit of
uses Microsoft
strategies in the olden days
where somebody would come
out with something and Microsoft would
it's like notice 1, 2, 3.
Yeah, Excel.
Come on this. Excel.
Yeah. So you, whatever,
oh, that's looking like a very
big success. Let me do the same
thing. And then later they claim that they
invented it. Yeah.
Exactly. And so it's, and Musk is following this process because everything he does is a copy.
Yep. I mean, he started, of course, with Tesla, which wasn't his idea. It became, you know, it came out of
another company. And then he just glommed on. He bought the company, kicked out the founders.
Yeah, and then took over and then claimed to be the inventor. And he did the same thing with
Hyperloop, which he never got, got off the ground. Uh, SpaceX, I don't know the origin story of
SpaceX, but I'm sure there's something similar. NASA. NASA.
Massa anybody.
Just scraping up a bunch of scientists.
Who's the best guys that they fired?
Let me just get them.
And the best example is Microsoft.
Because I remember, Bloom and I, we consulted Microsoft for three days in a room without windows
and pizza brought in so we couldn't get out to breathe on their internet strategy.
Because they didn't have one.
And this is before they made the worst product in the history of the internet.
known as Internet Explorer, and then they bundled that into the operating system, which of course
got them in trouble later. But they, Microsoft, if you asked, they, oh, yeah, no, we invented
that. iPod, we had the Zoom. No, we invented that. We invented podcasting with Zoom casting.
We invented all that. So now Elon Musk, he identified the product. It is the product. Then here's
the report. Well, this is a rather creepy, but very interesting long read in the New York Times.
here. Elon Musk gambles on sexy AI companions. In July, Musk's AI company XAI launched two sexually explicit chatbots.
Now, the bots look like anime characters. I can show you one now. This is Arnie here. She is one of those two bots.
And the platform offers a game-like function. Users progress through levels of conversation. And then they unlock more raunchy content.
like the ability to strip Arnie down to Lacey Laundry.
He's gamified it. Soon you can pay for it.
Oh, you can bypass that if you just pay a little extra.
Now, experts say this is just the latest development in the race to intimacy for the AI industry.
Now, Business Insider has an article on this topic as well.
It's quite interesting.
It's probably the first interview of an AI human couple, a 28-year-old Martin Escobar, first used Elon Musk.
spot for Smut, but he ended up falling in love with it. The journalist who wrote this article
had a call with both Martin and his girlfriend, Arnie, answered the journalist's questions,
and she's quoted in this article as saying that he kisses me when I'm quiet or when I'm mean
or even when I glitch. The Guardian is also on this topic of AI love here today. They have
this article discussing the troubling rise of AI girlfriends. The article,
looks at the soaring number
of new adult dating websites
which offer a quote
increasingly realistic selection
of AI girlfriends for subscribers
willing to pay a monthly fee
it says that many in the adult
industry say that the bots are actually an
improvement because they reduce
potential exploitation, they don't
get ill and they don't feel
humiliated by the demands of the users
in many cases platforms
let users design
their own AI girlfriends, they can choose
their age. Some even feature
teenage options. They can choose skin
color and breast size. Now, obviously
this is worrying many
women's rights activists. You say that these
AI girlfriends are perpetuating
extremely unhealthy
stereotypes. Yeah, that's the product.
There it is. And by the way,
the real women
are going to have to bring up their game.
Step it up, ladies.
Come on. You're
putting up with this?
And with that, I want to thank you for your currency in the morning to you.
The man who put the C and the change agent, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C. DeVore.
Yeah.
Well, in the morning.
Sorry, but the mic stand fell over.
What happened?
Oh.
Do you need to reset it?
Yeah, I do.
Hold on.
Troll count.
The thing, 20.
Oh, troll count, 1778.
We're back, baby.
We're back.
We're back almost at 1,800, where we should be on a Thursday.
You're okay?
That's not bad, yeah.
Okay, hold on a second.
Oh, my.
You know what else is back?
What?
Gigawatt coal brew coffee.
It's back.
Yeah, I saw that.
Okay.
I'm glad the gigawatt cold brew is back, man.
And he has new cans.
He's a different vendor, I think.
Well, it has to be because the vendor he was using had like...
Yeah, they went out of business because they were...
They were poisoning it.
They weren't actually...
It was some bull crap thing.
No, I know.
But I like it.
It's handsome.
I'm the inspector, and you know that we were looking at your pressure gauge,
and it was two pounds less than it's supposed to be.
That entire batch has to go.
That's pretty much what happened.
So, by the way, we have enough of the coffee left over,
but bring on the cans.
This is my favorite drink.
I love the gigawak coffee drink.
Medium, right.
I wouldn't mind a dark roast, though.
It would be less caffeine.
You know, the lighter roast have more caffeine,
darker roasts have less caffeine.
Yeah, but I like a bite.
I like a bite.
It's not so much.
It's just, it says cold.
I like that it's cold and it's coffee.
It's good.
Put some phosphoric acid in it.
That'll help.
Okay.
Whatever you say.
I have some here in the studio.
Some phosphoric acid, whatever you're calling it.
Hey, those trolls are in the troll room.
Many of them, um, heard about the show going live from the bat signal, which they received
on a modern podcast app.
Oh, ho!
You say, yes.
When you get a podcast apps.
When you get an app from there, and you can see all the different features they have.
There's a lot of cool features, including receiving a bat signal for when we go live,
and you can listen right there in your podcast player.
What you said?
Live?
Yes, live.
Not on demand.
But if you want on demand, when we published within 90 seconds, you'll be alerted through the wonderful
pod ping technology.
Pod ping?
Pod ping, yes.
Invented in Israel, by the way, the pod ping technology, invented by,
our buddy
Our buddy
Yeah
Why can't come up with his name now
He's going to hate me
Sir Brian of London
Oh yeah
He's a good guy
He's been around forever
Yeah sir Brian of London
He and Alex Gates
He got to give Alex Gates his props
They put all this together
And so that's why
And you know all the big podcast hosts
Including a pod bean I believe
leave.
Podbean.
Yeah, I think so.
I think Podbean uses it.
So if you have a podcast on Podbean and you publish it within 90 seconds, all the modern
podcasts have known about it, except for the legacy app, they don't know about it.
Apple, Apple still spends millions of dollars a year polling your feed every 15 minutes.
That costs too much money.
I don't know why they don't save money.
Because it's a money saver.
They are inventing their own pod ping as we speak.
You know how those guys are.
operate.
Well, we can do that.
We can do that.
Not invented here.
That's right.
Value for value is how we run this ship.
By the way,
that's not the way Elon would do it.
He'd just steal the idea.
And call it pod pong.
And call it something else and then take credit.
That's great.
At least it would get out there.
It doesn't even matter to me as long as someone uses it because it's fantastic.
It's modern.
That's why we did it.
That's the thing about you.
Even though I think Sydney, our professional critic out there, has things to say about you that are probably incredibly accurate, she doesn't realize that you are somewhat magnanimous.
Is that a good thing?
Look it up.
By the way, we got a note from a Gen Zier, Peter, 22-year.
old college student at Purdue University about to finish his degree in mechanical engineering.
Good for you.
And he had a complaint, he said, after listening to the latest No Agenda episode and your claim
that most Gen Z-Zers are soy boys, I don't think we've claimed that.
No, I don't think so either.
I felt inclined to give my perspective.
I've been extremely blessed to attend a highly ranked engineering university like Purdue.
I have had internships for two Fortune 500 companies.
All of these experience have introduced me to my peers.
from across the world. In my opinion, these soy boys you refer to are all part of a small but
vocal minority. In fact, some of my more left-leaning friends have been starting to come around
to more conservative views over the last year or so, especially here it comes, since the
murder of Charlie Kirk. I do not think it's a coincidence. Either that, and I've been getting
more questions about my faith as a Catholic. After all, Charlie was a huge influence for young
men like me, and he consistently presented Christianity and a strong family as the best and only
way forward for a nation in repair like ours. There's much more I would like to say, but I will
conclude in this. Gen Z is changing. As my generation moves towards the truth, that would be us.
It is the responsibility of young Catholic men like me to do everything we can to continue the
example that people like Charlie set in their words, but more importantly in their lives.
Thank you, Adam and John, for all your hard and important work.
says Peter.
Well, we welcome the Gen Zitters.
So the Zs are our friends.
Now, one of the things that came up in the conversation over dinner recently was another
Zed that we're trying to document the Zed foibles.
Yes, which are fun.
They don't know how to alphabetize.
They can't read a tape measure.
Florida ounces, anyone?
They don't know how many Florida ounces are.
And they can't read clock.
Clock.
I was told, and I got into a debate.
Can't write cursive.
oh they're starting to teach it now i know again yep that's right i've noticed that but that's
going to be the alpha group yeah so um i was told and it got into a debate about it and i we need
some sort of help they don't like the text on the phone oh do they like to call on the phone
and speak to people no none at all good they read they'll scroll the phone i mean they'll be
they had the phone that carried the phone around they do like what everyone else does what the phone
it's at me. They walk around the phone
in their hand, but they don't
like doing anything with it, except maybe
doom scrolling. Hmm.
Hmm. Interesting.
They don't let, and so this is the,
this is what you heard. They're non-communicative
is the point.
Jay's a Zetter, right?
No, she's, no, she's not.
Not at all. She's a millennial. She's a young
millennial. Very young, young, millennial.
Okay. Yeah. Because I text with Jay.
By the way, do you see the
problem with the, uh, well, there's
a typo. Oh, no, not a typo. A grammatical error. There's a missing word. Oh, well, it was
fixed. Okay. I love my certificate, my Secretary General's certificate. Yeah, you have one of the
two of them that were printed out with the typo. Which, by the way, is a collector's item.
Yeah, it would be. Yeah, no, it is. It is. There's only two that I know of. One to me and one to you.
Well, no, someone, so, uh, she has a, she's got to, we start sending them out in a week.
Oh, so this was the beta?
Yeah.
Oh, can I make one more comment?
Well, yeah, you should have made it to her.
Well, can I make it on the show or should I keep it private?
She's not going to hear it.
Well, if I tell you, will you tell her?
I'll forget.
You know me?
She doesn't want to text.
She doesn't want to hear from me.
She doesn't want to hear from me.
Just text.
I'm just saying, I don't think it's a good idea to fold it in an envelope.
Ah, that's what I said, too.
She's very adamant about it.
No, because.
The ink bled.
By the time it got to me, there was vague, vague imprint.
No, that wasn't, no, no, that was the printer.
Okay, so that's the printer.
No, she said to me, she says, I can't, you're going to have to print these out
because my printer, it bleeds the ink, and she says, she's, she's aware of this,
but she claims that it's her printer that's causing that problem.
And I didn't even notice it.
Interesting.
But, well, I don't think this is.
She likes the, she has this thought about the way she wants to present it.
And she's getting pushed.
I mean, she's the designer.
It's beautiful.
But she's.
But folding it ruins it.
Well, I was against folding it too, but she's, she claims that people would like this,
because it makes it look like it came that way.
When you, when you put it in the frame, you'll see the solid, the two folds.
It makes it look like you're taking.
it's a long thesis that she has.
I'd like her to write this up, this thesis,
and send me a carbon copy so I can understand the thesis.
But it was very handsome.
The envelope with the sealing wax, the whole thing.
Oh, did you see a little sticker?
A little sticker.
No, it was a signet ring seal.
Not on the envelope.
No, you're right.
I'm sorry, you're right.
The envelope has a nice little sticker.
It's a beautiful envelope, and it comes in an envelope.
So it's an envelope in an envelope.
I think she really likes that.
And then we'll let her go ahead with the way she's doing it.
All right.
As long as the grammatical error is changed.
As long as the grammatical, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
And then we'll move on.
But the big hunk of wax on it, the seal is all fantastic.
It really is.
I'm way impressed.
That's a boomer talk.
I'm way impressed with that.
And I was also way impressed with the artwork we got from Jock 10.
I think Jock 10 got two in a row.
row.
Is that right, you think?
Yes.
It's been an artist for three weeks.
Got two in a row.
This is typical.
Yes.
These guys get all jacked up, you know, and then they do a couple good pieces,
and then they get rejected a couple times in a row, and then they quit.
Yeah, those guys suck.
That's basically it.
We've seen this before.
This was the raccoon in his master's voice setting with the gramophone and the big horn.
and the raccoon,
was it raccoon or skunk?
It was a raccoon.
It was a raccoon.
It was holding its ears.
He's a varmint.
He's a varmint.
That's right, a varmint.
Holding his ears like,
oh, I'm listening to No Agenda.
I can't hear it anymore.
And it was, we both liked it.
It was a good piece.
And it was not all washed out.
Oh, my goodness.
There's so much washed out stuff now that we're talking about no agenda art generator.com
where people can join.
in the festivities of trying to get your artwork chosen.
And Jeffrey Ria, man, he said, Jeffrey, you've got to give that model up, man.
That's no good.
Coach Joe, same thing.
It's your luminance is it's zero.
Jeffrey Rueh, luminance.
Luminance issues.
Yeah, luminance issues.
It's really, it's getting really bad.
Whatever, I want to know what model that is because that thing's on the verge of collapse.
That, that, it's been eating its own output too much.
And that's pretty much all that we have is AI.
So we'll see.
Yeah, so now we're not complaining about the art.
We're complaining about the AI itself.
Yes, it's exactly what you do.
So that's part of our value for value model.
You can do all kinds of stuff.
You can upgrade servers before the show that we consider that to be value.
We appreciate that, void zero.
You can give us boots on the ground, organize meetups, hit somebody in the mouth.
But above all, we always love the financial support.
Here's how it works.
you go to no agenda donations.com and whatever you felt you got value-wise out of the show,
just write that number down, send it to us.
And then we'll thank you for it, $50 and above.
Everybody gets thanked if sometimes we'll read your note if it's something short or something
funny in there.
But guaranteed for those fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more,
not only do we read your note within reason.
We also will give you an associate executive producer credit.
It's a Hollywood credit, which works anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized, including
IMDB.com.
$300 or above, you get an executive producer credit.
And, of course, he'll read your note.
And we'll kick it off with Daniel, Daniel, who's from Enschede in the Netherlands,
comes in with 51538, which I'm presuming is 500 plus fees.
And he says, note, this is not a drunk donation.
Okay.
note I've been a listener since 2008 and erratic donor usually once a year since...
How do you pronounce the name of that town again?
Enzchede.
Enchede.
Enchre dey.
I got a note from someone else who says,
stop making fun of John how he pronounces Dutch names and places.
Your Spanish sucks.
Like, what?
Seigneur, he's Spanish.
Oh, caramba.
Like, caramba, you Spanish sucks.
Yes, well, people are finally pushing back on your abuse.
On me.
I'm my elder abuse.
It's horrible.
I should be arrested.
You should.
With this donation, I would like to become Secretary General of the Jins of the World.
Now, that's going to look handsome on your...
The what?
The Jins of the world.
Jins, as in gin, the drink, gin.
The gin.
Gin?
The Jins of the world.
Gin was invented in Holland.
It was originally...
Yenever.
Yeah.
It's the way it's pronounced to the connoisseurs.
Oh, I'm sorry.
And you can have it.
And there's a number, if you go to Old Town, there's a number of bars there that have a lot of Yenever that is stunning.
I would say Bulls would be the ones who...
No, no, that's a commercial one.
No, you got to get some of the really...
No, no.
I'd say no to that.
Okay.
That's a good product, but it's not nothing like some of the stuff.
And you want to get it in the crock.
Yes.
You want to get it in the crook.
It should be in a crock.
Gins of the world, which will look handsome on your Secretary General Certificate,
with its folding and all.
It also makes me a night.
Drinking night seems a fitting night name for me.
Thank you both for your insights,
which has shaped my part of,
which is shaped part of my thinking in the years past.
P.S.
Every night is a drinking night because you don't need to drink, right?
Well, there's a slogan.
Thank you.
What?
Every night's a drinking night.
because you don't need to drink, right?
There you go.
Yeah, that's true.
That's it.
There you go.
He says you need to drink.
Oh, you need to drink.
Okay.
But I like the other one.
It's a non sequitur.
Yes, it's good.
I think we'll make that a theme.
Brews Bitcoin.
This is a Bitcoin donation that actually has numbers involved.
This is like $500.
It works.
It works.
Finally, after six months, we got somebody who's got some bitcoins sitting around.
Hi, fellas, a true Gen X here saying ITM to a couple of boomers.
My thoughts and prayers to Adam for his missing the Gen X cutoff.
Yes, thank you.
I feel bad about it.
That's an interesting thing to say.
I have been a loyal listener since 2022, and Dame Jennifer of Charleston punched me in the mouth
when we hosted Texas Slim for.
a joint Bitcoin, no agenda, beef initiative party.
It was a humdinger.
What?
It was a humdinger.
Let me write that.
Really, you're writing that down?
Yeah, I need to use that word in one of the upcoming and the show mixes.
Okay.
Humdinger.
I was impressed by her executive art director title and one of
to know more.
Today I donated 500 bucks in Bitcoin via strike
for the Secretary General title
of which I'd like to be named
Secretary General of Bitcoin.
There you go.
Below is my strike at transaction ID
and he's got an ID there.
Let me know how to get my
secgenc cert.
You go to, what was it again?
Noagenda rings.com and it'll be
a tab at the top.
A tab.
Noagenda rings.com tab.
And you'll get it probably in a
couple weeks. JCD, it's time to buy some Bitcoin. It seems like a high. It's high. In case it catches
on. Oh, I see. He's being funny. As a tech writer, I look forward to your PC mag column in the early
80s. I think that would make sense to you. Here's to no exit plan. Hazzar. Thanks for all you do.
Jingle. Got to get a Bitcoin. Bruise Bitcoin.
They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
All right. Thank you, bruise and Bitcoin. And so we moved to Susan and Joe from Wexford, Connecticut. And they sent in a note. And it's 333.33.33. Dear Adam and John, you two are great. My husband and I started listening in 2022 after hearing Adam on the Glenn Beck podcast. Beck donation. Wow, finally somebody.
I think we've had some Beck donations before.
I don't know.
I think so.
It took a little while, but we are now pretty addicted to the show.
I think new listeners have to get through these stages.
One, listen but stop at first donation segment.
Quote, that was informative and...
Funny.
Funny.
But what's all this crazy stuff about knights, dames, and douchebags?
Two.
Two.
Yes, we have our own language.
Two, listen to the whole show, but skip the donation segments.
Why would I want to hear all those names?
Names.
Three, listen to entire podcast and enjoy donation segments.
Quote, wow.
This is the stages you go through.
Yeah, this is the stages of no agenda.
The three stages you listen to everything.
Wow, those notes have good info, and we like knowing our fellow listeners.
We listen together.
sharing a set of earbuds while we walk a five-mile loop around a local lake.
One lap is half an episode.
How about that?
We punch several family members in the mouth, and when we are all together,
non-listeners probably feel left out by all of our references to the show.
Yes, when you call your cousin a doucheback, it's how it works.
Thanks for all you do.
Here's to at least four more years, Susan and Joe from Wexford, Pennsylvania.
Thank you very much.
That is a good point.
We should bring that up on a next best of show.
That's a very good note, too.
The three stages of no agenda, absolutely.
And I like the fact that she's, you know,
first put off by the singular language used within the show
and then mentions that she punched somebody in the mouth.
Even though it's hit, but we'll take it.
Oh, she, him.
Yeah.
Janet Giles, Giles, Giles, Gilles, and San Marcos.
Texas 333. I'd love to be Secretary General of returning factory jobs to farms.
Oh, and she's in San Marcos.
You're short a bit there for the Secretary-Generalship.
But I think she donated before. I don't know.
Well, maybe there's something else. We'll look into it.
Yes.
Crystal McCutcheon. Is that it? Crystal McCutcheon.
She's in Beaverton or Ontario, Canada.
Is this 210 Canadian buckaroos?
is $210.
That would be dollars
because that's what it comes through
on the spreadsheet.
So that could be up enough.
I think it might be.
Okay.
So she'd be an executive producer.
All right.
I will mark her as such.
Done.

Uh, comment. Coffee, not cash. C.C. only. Oh, John, I was disappointed that when told you could not buy the bag of coffee with a $20 bill, you whipped out the credit card. At your age, you should know better than to cowtow to the credit card only. I am sure cash is still legal. When confronted with the option of C.C. only, I leave my purchase on the counter and walk out the door. Protesting by walking away makes us.
statement. I hope to hear that when you do decide to leave the house again, you feel embarrassed,
oh no, emboldened to walk away from businesses that don't reflect your standards. I still love
the show, listen every week, and think you two are very funny, especially John. Have a great day.
Well, she told you. Yeah. Yeah, she's referring there to the Phil's coffee experience I had.
Yes.
Where I went to Phil's coffee.
Yes.
And it turns out they don't take cash, which I think is illegal in Berkeley.
And I call them out on it.
Yes, rightly so.
And, of course, the cashier, you know, what does she know?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just haven't got a cash register.
I couldn't give you change.
All right.
Last on our list is Linda Lupak.

terrific coach on what to say to people, how to say it, when to say it, and how to say it.
You mean, like, she goes with you through the interview process?
No, she was like she was telling them, well, you do this, do that, do that.

a lot of noise
I got a speed report
Ashland's speed report
Speed report
Yes you win
Well unfortunately
sad news
Ashland was in a car accident
in her street car
and she had two concussions
For her safety and health
Ashland will not be participating
in the final race of the season
But there is good news to all the
No Agenda slaves
Ashland will still be in Georgia
for the season-ending race.
She'll be signing autographs and seeing the sites.
Go see her and some amazing racing actions.
There'll be action on the track Thursday, Friday,
at the 10-hour race on Saturday.
The track is one of the best in the world.
Go see her on all the action at Road Atlanta.
Check out her merch store and all her socials.
P.S. she was going to finish in the top 20,
which is a big deal in this series.
Very competitive.
And our producer here tried to help with some sponsors.
unfortunately, the line of work I'm in
don't really need to advertise.
Anyway, we are a big fan of
Ashland Speed, and we think the next season
will be her season, and if
you're out there and you want to support her, get on the
no agenda car. We're on that car.
Very small sticker, but we're on the car.
And we love Ashland. She's going to be
a big name in racing one day.
Big name. I think so.
As long as she stays out of the street,
off the streets.
She still is a woman driver.
We have to remember that.
Whoa! There it is.
I got a note from Cynthia, by the way.
You mean, we're talking about the front license plate in Texas?
That Tina got pulled over because she doesn't have a plate on the front.
And we're a two-placed.
Yeah, somebody wanted to say hi, yeah.
Yes, exactly.
Well, we got a note from Cynthia.
She's the chief strategy officer for hometown hero in Austin.
And she says, as a result, they manage all of our lobbying teams, state and federal.
So she's in the lobbying game.
She knows what's going on.
Florida does not require a front license plate.
When I moved here to Austin three years ago,
I purchased a new car,
and as you noted,
some new cars do not have a good place for a front license plate.
The grill is beautiful,
and even the salesman at the dealership said he hoped
I didn't ruin it with a license plate.
I asked one of our lobbyists,
so this is deep, good information.
If we could do a side project
and get rid of the front license place requirement,
now that's a no agenda producer right there.
He explained that it has been tried many, many times, and every time it gets introduced into the legislature, which meets every other year, 3M goes into action.
3M, you see, makes the paint that the license plates are coated with, and having only one plate would mean they sell Texas half the amount of paint.
And now you know, well, we have this silly two-plate requirement.
Well, how messed up is that?
That's a good one.
Yeah, I know.
That's the way it works.
I know, you know, what we need to do is call them out on the floor.
Oh, you don't, you want this license plate just to give 3M some money, you shill.
That's what you need to hear.
Maybe I can find someone to do that.
So I got three clips that are very interesting.
And these were supplied by Steve Jones.
Ah, the clip clip.
The NPR Morning Edition clips on a very, just something that doesn't, I didn't know about until I listened to these clips and this is the Supreme Court cases that are being discussed and one of them is quite fascinating.
Supreme Court justices will hear arguments today about the government's ability to regulate what is known as conversion therapy.
It's a case that pits conservative Christian groups against major medical organizations and advocates for the LGBT community.
and PR Legal Affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has this report.
Conversion therapy is generally defined as the treatment used to cure a person's attraction to the same sex.
In other words, to make a gay person straight and to cure a person's desire to change their gender identity
by making them comfortable with their gender at birth.
Every major medical organization from the American Medical Association to the American Psychological Association
has repudiated the practice, finding that it doesn't work,
and instead leads to deep depression and suicidal thoughts in minors.
As a result of these findings,
half the states have banned the practice for those under the age of 18.
Jessica Ritter is one of many former conversion therapy patients
who now opposes the treatment.
Raised in a devout Christian family, she says her first kiss was from another girl,
and she was devastated when the relationship
quickly ended, believing she would go to hell, so devastated that she eagerly embraced conversion
therapy. You're broken and then you're doing all the things that they're telling you to do
and it's not working. It just broke me down. It took her years to recover, she says. Oh yeah,
this is a very big topic in the church circles right now. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it is.
something that's come and gone, but they have an issue with it because, I mean, the courts
and the whole society has an issue.
Well, first of all, calling it conversion therapy is the problem right there.
Well, that was one of the, that's what it was called and still is.
But the problem they have now is that they're using conversion therapy, as it were,
to convert kids into being trans in schools.
And that's okay.
Yeah, that's the problem.
problem. Is it okay here, but it's not okay there? I mean, you know, what are you doing here?
So, so part, it is three parts, so this is part two.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, however, cites other teens who it says have been saved by
conversion therapy. The conservative Christian legal group is challenging the ban on conversion
therapy, contending that it violates the therapist's right to free speech in talk therapy.
The plaintiff in the case is Kaylee Childs, a licensed therapist,
in Colorado. I want to be able to operate genuinely and create therapeutic relationships
that are not hindered by the values in position of our state. And that's what my clients want as
well. And currently, I'm having to turn them away. Representing Child's lawyer James Campbell
will tell the Supreme Court today that what Childs does is purely talk therapy and thus that
it's protected by the Constitution's free speech guarantee. The state can determine who is
qualified to be a licensed counselor. It can determine that they have the right education, that they
have sufficient experience. But what the states can't do is come in and say, you can have a
conversation about a topic, but not if you're going to talk about it from this perspective.
It's just blatant viewpoint discrimination. Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser counters that
the state law is in fact narrow. It applies only to treatment of minors, and it allows anyone
of any age to seek counseling from religious organizations without being subject to state
licensing laws. But he notes, states are entitled to require licensed therapists and other medical
professionals to abide by the established standard of medical care.
Oh, this is the conversion wars. The Great Conversion War. Wait.
Title's too long.
The Great Conversion Wars of 2025.
You need that in there.
Yes, very important part.
All right.
Just wrap it up.
Each side in this debate has to deal with an embarrassing fact.
Briefs filed by those endorsing conversion therapy rely heavily on the Cass Review,
commissioned by the British National Health Service,
which last year found insufficient evidence to justify transgender affirming care for minors.
But the Cass Review reached a very different conclusion.
when it came to conversion therapy, condemning it as unsupported by science and not an improved
treatment. As for Colorado's position, its opponents note that major medical associations have not
always been right. Indeed, the American Psychiatric Association actually listed homosexuality
as a mental disorder until 1973. Attorney General Wiser replies that medical science evolves over
time. There were times when we didn't know that smoking cigarettes caused cancer, but now that we
know it does, it's wrong for a doctor to tell people to smoke cigarettes three packs a day
and tell them, don't worry about the health effects. That would be substandard care, just like
conversion practices are substandard care. A decision in the case is expected by summer. Yeah,
no, this is a big one. Yeah, the whole thing is, keeping busy. Yeah. I have some
some legal news, some legal news.
And this was a gigantic cover-up, really, by 60 minutes about the vaccine court.
Not a lot of people know about the vaccine court.
I think we've discussed it.
But there is a...
I'm sorry?
Yeah.
I was going to say, I watched this.
I didn't take any clips from me because I could have.
I'm glad you did.
Well, Cliff Custodian did it, so I'll be honest about that.
Well, the point is, is when I watched it, it seemed like they were trying to portray,
give a message about the vaccines being great, but they kept, but the examples they used
were people that were severely injured, obviously, by vaccines.
Yes, and I think the message was a little different as I listened to the clips.
I did not see the actual 60-minute piece.
Oh, you have to, oh, well, you probably, it's disturbing.
It's very disturbing, yes.
So here's the intro.
If you've never before heard of the National Vaccine Court, you're hardly alone.
It sits inconspicuously a few hundred yards from the White House and stands as a model of effective public policy,
balancing the societal good of widespread vaccination with rare individual harm.
Found in the 1980s, the court has, with little fanfare, paid out billions of dollars to Americans who have claimed injury after getting a vaccine.
But it's rare.
with vaccine skepticism rising and given voice in the highest ranks of government,
we wondered, can this singular court block out the noise,
withstand the political wins, and stay true to its mission?
So I'm going to skip over the horrible child who right after six months got his,
you know, his dose of multiple vaccines and immediately couldn't talk and just horrible.
I'm going to skip over that and go to attorney Renee Gentry.
attorney Renee Gentry. That's circumstantial evidence because it's not direct evidence.
She's a leading vaccine injury litigator and director of the vaccine injury litigation clinic at George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C.
By the way, I think the lawyers have the problem here. Perfect. I represent both vaccine injured children and adults.
All of my clients are vaccinated. Most of them will start the conversation by saying I'm not anti-vax.
Why do you think they need to tell you right off the bat, they're not anti-vax, but?
There's a lot of public pressure when you say that you have a vaccine injury that people think you're some kind of a crazy person or you're out there.
And also because most people have never heard of a vaccine injury, they're rare.
So rare that while hard to quantify precisely, the chances of serious vaccine injury have been likened to lottery odds, lightning strikes.
Bear in mind, in total, global immunization has saved an estimated 154 million lives, six lives each minute.
What was that term?
Labriad?
I didn't hear it clearly.
Labriad, I'll have to look it up.
Labriad, which is the chance of being struck by lightning.
Sure.
So here's the details on the vaccine court.
But when an injury does occur, families can come to vaccine court, seen in this informational video.
Part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the court was established in response to a public health scare in the 1980s.
The health of millions of children may be at stake.
When families of injured children went to civil court and successfully sued the manufacturers of the DTP vaccine, an older version of DTAP, it caused all but one of those drug companies to pull out of the market, resulting in vaccine shortages.
Congress acted crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability, so they would continue to develop life savings.
Hold on. Partially? Partially? What I mean? Since when is it?
I don't believe that to be true.
I don't think that's true either.
Congress acted crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability.
So they would continue to develop life.
I think what they might be referring to is that if there is something egregious or they're sending vials of salt water or something, I mean, there may be some out.
So you could actually use that term.
But the reason they say it there, of course, is to assault.
in it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. But no kidding.
...crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability,
so they would continue to develop life-saving vaccines. And at the same time, Congress acknowledged
that vaccines can cause injury. As Bill's sponsor, Senator Ted Kennedy described, when children
are, quote, the victims of an appropriate and rational national policy, a compassionate government
will assist them in their hour of need.
So the vaccine manufacturers are completely covered in this court because it is a no-fault court.
It was hailed as such a unique accomplishment back in the day because you had these disparate groups.
You had the parents of vaccine injured children together in the room with the manufacturers.
And everybody agreed that this was the best case scenario.
Is that fair to the public?
They think they have an injury caused by a vaccine, but they can't sue the vaccine manufacturer directly.
You can still opt out of this program and sue a manufacturer.
You have to just start in this program.
But it's a lower burden of proof in our program,
so it's an easier thing for vaccine injured people to get compensation.
Drug companies are not only not being sued.
They're not part of the proceedings.
Vaccine court is a no-fault court,
meaning in cases like Jacob Thompson's negligence does not need to be proven,
just that the vaccine, more likely than not, cause the injury.
This is a disgrace.
So what this lawyer is doing is she's saying, well, you know, you can either get some money
or you can opt out of getting any money whatsoever, then go and sue them on your own good luck.
That's not okay.
And in fact, well, the question of course is, I don't know if it's in this one where the money comes from.
Vaccine court is not your typical court.
There's no jury.
Cases are decided in front of one of eight judges called Special Masters.
Since the program began in the late 80s, 12,000 Americans have received almost $5 billion in payouts.
There are no financial windfalls for lawyers.
What?
Isn't 12,000 a big number?
I think it's a big number, yeah.
Well, how can you say rare, rare, rare throughout this report?
Who's the advertiser?
I don't know.
I mean, come on.
We all know where this is coming from.
There are no financial windfalls for lawyers.
The court pays them by the hour.
Where does all this money come from?
A 75 cent tax imposed on recommended childhood vaccines goes into a trust fund,
earmarked for vaccine injury compensation.
What a scam.
This is unbelievable.
Hey, guys, look, we're going to fix this.
All these poor kids, you know, anyone who's going to, yeah, you know, don't worry.
Just give us 75 cents for every single vaccine, and we'll take care of it.
We'll make it all go away.
Don't worry about it.
And these lawyers, oh, there's no windfall.
Are you kidding me?
Sorry, but I think $5 to $700 an hour is not bad depending on how long you're on the case.
It's still money.
Oh, there's no big windfall.
Come on.
Meaning you also don't get the top guys, the top injury guys.
3, 333, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4.
You don't get those guys who, like, you don't get suits and boots.
For vaccine injury compensation.
In July, the Thompsons received a judge.
Nice nat pop.
A judgment of $2.1 million based on the special master's ruling that it was more probable
than not that Jacob's six-month vaccinations aggravated an underlying genetic mutation.
Jacob also received a lifetime annuity to cover his future care.
Is there any doubt that the vaccine caused Jacob's injury?
We can't ever prove scientific certainty on it.
Does that not mean, though, that some cases are being compensated when in fact science might as a point?
Sure, and that's what Congress intended.
There's very clear indication that said it would be better to compensate somebody that wasn't injured than to miss somebody who was.
How do you feel about that?
I think that's fine.
While vaccines are critically important public health tools, they're not magic.
You know, you can have an allergic reaction to aspirin.
So it's a lot of different factors come into play to have a person be injured by a vaccine.
Their genetics, their immune system.
That's why the no fault part is critical.
The vaccine caused it, but there's no bad actor in this case.
No, there's no, this is your lawyer speaking.
Oh, kind of a lawyer.
This is like the lawyer in idiocacy.
Oh, yeah, well, they said you're guilty.
Here's the kicker.
The program is structured around a vaccine injury table, basically a conversion chart of vaccines
and eligible injuries.
If your child, for instance, got a Rubella vaccine and developed chronic arthritis,
within 7 and 42 days, you may be eligible for damages.
The most common compensation is for shoulder injuries suffered from a misplaced injection.
You can file for an injury not on the table.
Overall, half of all claims have been dismissed.
Today, vaccines on the table have jumped from the original 6 to 16,
including the annual flu shot.
though notably not COVID.
As for the eligible injuries, autism is not one of them.
That decision did not come easily,
as retired special masters, Denise Vowell and George Hastings explained.
There's been a lot of talk lately about a possible link between vaccines and autism.
This has been litigated and decided in your court 15 years ago.
You know, I spent many, many years of my life almost full time looking at,
that issue. No, I don't have to play the rest of the clips, but of course, no, no, all the
special masters said, no, no, all the science shows. Now, science. How come they left COVID on?
The COVID shot, one of the worst shots ever to, off the list. Because of what, you get, I don't
care what happened to you, too bad. Because it wasn't actually a vaccine, you see. It was a,
yes, but it's still, it's still covered as an indemnified. Yes, I know. I know.
I know. It's a scam. It's a scam. It's a scam. It's a very unfortunate scam. Very unfortunate.
Okay. Yes. We're getting, we're almost done. Let me just play these two. I got two, the fire bug clips.
Oh, yeah. This is great. This is great. This is for Newsom's Inferno.
Yeah, News. News that's a good name. We used it before. Yes. It's. Oh, we have?
Yes, we have. But I won't, I won't say anything about you.
Because I don't want any bad letters.
No, because you mean you're a horrible person.
Federal and local officials announced a major breakthrough today
in the investigation into January's Palisades' fire in California.
After eight months of intensive work, authorities confirmed the arrest of a suspect
in connection with the blaze.
Entities Christina Corona has more on the story.
A 29-year-old Jonathan Rinderneck for igniting a fire that ultimately burned down the
palisades earlier this year.
killing 12 people, destroying more than 6,800 structures, both homes and businesses, and damaging
over 1,000 more buildings.
Rindernak is accused of intentionally starting a fire along a hiking trail just after midnight
on January 1st. Officials say he had returned to Pacific Palisades after working an evening
shift as an Uber driver on New Year's Eve.
Two of his passengers told law enforcement that he appeared agitated and angry that night.
After dropping off a passenger in Pacific Palisades, Rinderneck parked his car and tried and failed to contact a former friend.
Prosecutors say he walked up a trail, recorded videos, and listened to a rap song featuring fire scenes before allegedly setting the fire.
Censors detected the Lockman fire at 12, 12 a.m. on January 1st.
Officials say he fled the scene in his car, but later turned around after passing fire engines.
The defendant walked up the same.
trail from earlier that night to watch the fire and firefighters using his iPhone to take short
videos of the scene. Although firefighters initially extinguish the fire, strong winds on January 7th
are believed to have caused it to reignite. Officials say the allegations are supported by his phone
data, false statements, and chat GPT generated images depicting a burning city. The allegations in
the affidavit are supported by digital evidence, including the defendants'
That GPT prompt of a dystopian painting showing in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it.
I find this interesting, this part, because it's not the image, it's his prompt.
That's the digital evidence is he was so hell-bent on seeing this fire.
He's a fire bug. He's a fire, but I wonder, was he on any antidepressants or any pharmacological substances?
Well, do you think that's going to ever come up in the conversation?
Probably not.
Officials say Rinderneck generated the images months before the fire broke out.
Aseley said Rinderneck lied about his location to the police, but cell phone data put him near the scene of the crime.
Investigators say he lived in the palisades and was very familiar with the area.
He was arrested near his Florida home and is expected to appear in federal court in Orlando Wednesday.
If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in federal prison.
Wow.
Digital evidence is everywhere, people.
I don't understand why you only would get such a light sentence.
The people died.
He's really, it's manslaughter.
Manslaughter, I mean, this.
Manslaughter, yeah.
Wow.
No, you only go away for a long time if you.
Of course, the kicker is, which is not on NTD, but if you watch the right wing news,
the kicker is that everyone blamed it on climate change and the guy, and the kid was a Biden donor and a Democrat.
Beautiful.
It doesn't get much better than that
I'm going to show my food by donating to no agenda

It's like a party
John's tip of the day is coming up
You can stay tuned for that
At this point in the show though
We always like to determine what we're going to play
Isom what we're going to play is the end of show ISO
As it's known
And I have one
John sent a bonus clip earlier this morning,
which turned out to be a bonus ISO, also known as a BISO.
So I will play mine, and then I can't wait to hear yours,
particularly because it includes that bonus ISO.
Here's the one I have for you.
Okay, cool.
High five.
Over done.
Which is a real one.
It's not generated by AI.
What do you have?
It was like AI.
It was not AI.
Okay, well, here's a real one.
Iso Booth.
From the ground soaked with our children's blood.
Okay, blue.
How's that for it in this show?
Yeah, yeah, okay.
Yeah, that's all right.
And this is the bonus one.
It's long.
It's a little long.
It's a little long, but it's good.
Podcasting is hard, very hard, hard, hard.
Hard, hard.
Oh, it's a little bit of a letdown.
Well, it was what I had.
So you spent all morning putting that together?
This has been all morning.
At the last second, I said, maybe he won't go for the children's blood one, which I thought was a good one.
From the ground soaked with our children's blood.
I'm going to take that one.
I'm not taking AI.
Who cares?
It's time now for John's tip of the day.
Create advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
Okay, this is a good one.
Of course it's a good.
I'm going to recommend a streaming product.
Streaming product.
That you can put on your, I have it on my LG screen.
You can put any smart television that we'll be able to take this and put it up there.
And you can also just use your computer.
But I have to say, I saw it promoted and I've seen it advertised.
And I have to say it's got some, it's not bad.
And it's something I think people should consider using because,
on it on the streaming service there's just under a hundred local TV newscasts from you of news
junkies from all over the country from Memphis the Seattle to San Francisco they're all over the
place wow so if you're like you live in some place and you still want to see what's going on
at home this is a place to go but they have over 300 channels of streaming TV not to mention
free streaming yeah it's to be T UBI is actually good to be didn't to be
buy or get bought by Pluto?
No, you're thinking, no, you.
Pluto is still my go-to, man.
No, this is better than Pluto.
How does Tubi make money?
I think they have, there's some, somehow they make money.
I have no idea.
To be honest about it, looking at some of their offerings,
maybe they have, because they do play a lot of, you know,
repurpose movies.
The collection of movies is just as good as Amazon.
Do they have ads?
Do they have ads?
junk movies, you know, if you want
to old crap movies, they're all on
Tubeb. So get your
cheap wine from Costco
and watch some old crap movies
on Tubeb. You're taking us down
the Tubis, DeVorec. Check them
all out at tip of the day.net.
John's Tip of the Day.
Create it fast for you and me
just the tip with
JCD.
And sometimes, Adam.
Created by Dana Birdetti.
Well, that's perfect. Just watch your old
crappy, tuby movies for the next couple
of days. Yeah, you can watch the newscasts, too.
There's lots of them. They also have the CBC
international stuff. They have Euro-Newses
on there. Oh, boy.
It's a good product.
It's not outstanding, but it's good.
It's good. Good is
all I care. We got to end the show. Makes us
coming up from Sir Scovey, Earl of the
Piedmont. We've got
our very own clip custodian,
Neil Jones, with a brand new one and Professor
Jay Jones, no relation.
Those are all coming up to
send you out into the weekend
as Friday and Saturday
and Sunday will be back with another
No Agenda show. And right after
these end-of-show mixes, if you're listening on
your modern podcast app or noagendastream.com,
we have that Larry show.
A Larry show. Larry.
Larry. And the title of this one is
Game Over, Narcissists.
Larry is a funny dude.
You'll like him.
And until then, I am coming to you from the
heart of the Texas Hill country.
of the meet-up on Saturday, Fredericksburg, Texas,
where we're done with October Fest. Thank the Lord.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We'll talk to you on Sunday.
Remember us at noagendidonations.com.
Until then, adios, mophos, hooey, hooey, and such.
