And by the way, I denounce you. Oh, no. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorey DeVore. It's Sunday, December 14th, 2025. This is your award-winning Gibbonation Media Assassination, Episode 1825. This is no agenda. Denouncing everyone. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.

I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're wondering how you can have a shooting in Australia you and guns are illegal. I'm John C. DeVorak. It's Crackbott and Buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Ah.

There you go. Started off on the right foot. Yeah. With the famous... What's the name again? Gigi. Gigi sigh. On Gigi shy.

On Gigi, yeah. Oh, good Lord. Yeah. Because whenever you say that, I get all the emails that say That's not true We have hunting rifles We get a license

And you're outlawed Everybody Australia has such a bad rap Like Well they took your guns away And now look what happened Rhode Island Well they took your guns away

It's hard to get a gun Look what happened We live in a broken world people I think that's a good Hey you know what The argument is valid. What's valid? They took the guns away and look what happened.

You know what's interesting about, certainly about Brown University? Thanksgiving Day weekend. We were doing a show, weren't we? We did a show on Thanksgiving. Do we do a show on Thanksgiving? Of course. Every Thanksgiving except in 18 years of doing shows, we have done every Thanksgiving except one ever.

I do not recall the quad screen shouting at me four dead and 13 wounded in Chicago. You know, the news is racist. Everybody's racist. You know why? Because of black people. Black people in Chicago got killed Thanksgiving Day weekend. Four dead, 13 wounded. You didn't hear about it.

I wonder why. Why is that? No guns in Chicago either. What's up with that? Yeah, that's true. Chicago's got some very strict gun laws. So what's up with that? You already said.

Oh, they're racist. Yeah, okay. Good. At least you understand. And by the way, I denounce you. Oh, no. That's the cool new hip thing. You got to denounce somebody. I never heard this.

Oh, yeah. No, you have to denounce Milo, denounce. Tucker denounce what's the kid De Fuentes denounce Dave Rubin denounce Megan Kelly Denounce you get this I follow this everybody's

denouncing everybody Denouncing I denounce you It's so corny It is I denounce you It is This MUK Ultra Business is out of control

Because that's what it is. M UK Ultra. MUK Ultra. I like MUK. Oh, that's good. It's a pun. Yes. But that's clearly what it is.

MU. Yes. Everybody. Whoa. Here was it. Where did I have the? I thought I clipped that. This was the one.

Hold on. Here it is. All right, everybody. It's obvious now. Who is the handler? We all know who works for Mossad. It's those little things where, again, he would walk through the door, drop his bags. Daddy's home.

Take his phone Friday night. Shabbat Shalom. Oh, no! Oh, no! I love that Shabbat Shalom. She said Shabbat Shalom. Why did she say it, though, is the question. She just said it.

Yeah, that's pretty funny. Because I... Well, she got nothing but grief. She's been... I didn't think we're going to bring her. up, but she's been getting just boatloads of grief. Well, you know, so first of all, I'm pretty sure, you know, talking about Sabbath is not all that odd in Christian circles.

And, you know, I can see Charlie Kirk saying Shabbat, shalom, y'all, I'm home. I can see it. The problem here is. I can't. Yeah, I can't. I can't see anybody except I don't even. think horror was her most Jews say it. Yes, they do. It's a Friday night thing you're supposed to say. Well, maybe that's what she was talking about. Friday night. Yeah, I know. It was he came home Friday

night and it's Shabbat Shalom. Yeah. But no, I'm not buying that. Well, here's what's going on. Here's what's going on with Erica Kirk. Here's what's going on with Candace. He's what's going on with pretty much everybody. Except us. Except us. All we do is deconstructing news. We don't get involved. No, why would we? But see. No, because You get, it's just suckers game. But you and I have unique experiences that we can talk about because we've been around. We've done, we've done certain things. We've been in certain places.

I can say on a microcosm, I know what it is to be super, super, super famous. And that microcosm actually would be the Netherlands. And when you get into any kind of. I'm going to stop you. Okay. because I don't think everybody realizes this that you were super, super, super famous in the Netherlands

and to the point where he used to go, even during the era of the show, which is an era, literally an era, you would go to the Netherlands and then all these, there'd be all these front page headlines about you and your new girlfriend who looked a lot like your old wife

and blah blah, blah, blah, and all in Dutch and they all have pictures of you because you got your, you got your trench coat over your face trying to avoid the cameras. Never. That corner thing. It was at that level. And so people don't realize that that was true. So you do speak from a, this is not bull crap.

No, it's not bull crap. And that started when I was 19. All of a sudden, half of the country was watching me because there are only two TV stations. And I was on with David Bowie and with the Stones. with Tina Turner and Grace Jones and just go all the way down the list. Madonna. In fact, the whole country still, whenever I enter the country, hey, Curry, Madonna.

Because at the time, they were saying, Madonna, Madonna, say, it's Madonna. Anyway. So, on a microcosm, super famous. And it's a very strange thing to experience, particularly when the media gets involved. And I'll just consider X and YouTube and the podcastosphere. I'll consider that all to be media. In fact, I think I pioneered some of the, back in the day it was blogs.

And you'd write something on your blog. And then the newspaper would pick it up. And then there would be a television news item about the blog that you wrote, that you posted that the newspaper wrote. And you get into this very strange. rhythm of responding. And that's exactly what I'm seeing with all of these micro-famous people like Dave Rubin

and Candice Owens. I mean, we had a party last night at dinner and at least half the winter like, oh yeah, oh yeah. I can't wait. Four o'clock in the afternoon. I'm ready. I'm sitting there. I'm hitting refresh. I can't wait until Candace comes on. and really well you also have to understand what is the number one category in podcasting outrage no no the number one category by far in podcasting is true crime yeah that's been that case ever since serial yes and so that's essentially what candace has become true crime You know, who killed Charlie Kirk.

This is an interesting interpretation. Oh, and that's why women love it so much. But then you add in this people commenting and then Candace commenting and then Dave Rubin commenting. And by the way, the bad actor in all this, if there is a bad actor, he's Tucker Carlson. He is platforming. So we have all these terms now. I denounce you. He platformed him.

You know, right on time. Tucker platforms Nick Fuentes. Tucker re-platforms Milo Yanopalopoulos. Right at the moment that I think Candace is about to flame out, unless you may not. You know, another Brit, another British connection is brought in. To me, it feels a little bit like how we can't really do the Gen Z protests we're doing around the world, but let's mess them up in America anyway.

And we'll do it like this. And it's just, it's unbelievable. Every microcosm, every facial expression is analyzed and overanalyzed and no, breaking news, nobody knows anything. But the actors involved in this, and I say that's with a specific reason, they, you get so, so swept up in it. And at a certain point, you know, like, whenever anybody says someone, thing, I got to respond to that. The funny thing in Holland, I don't know if it still works,

but up until about 10 years ago, because you know, you get newspapers calling. You get Barry Weiss is, oh, come on a town hall with me. Let's talk about this. Let's sit down on the Fox and Friends. You know, it's not like you necessarily are on some tour, but you feel like you have to do it because if you don't, then the other team wins. And in this case, you know, I had it with my first wife. I mean, there's all kinds of stuff. But then with the government, you know, oh, Kerry with his helicopters,

all kinds of nonsense. In Holland, you can still, you can, there is a response that you can give through your people. And you can say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, right now we have a media stop. It's an actual term. We have a media stop. And funny enough, when you say that,

it kind of stops. because you're not going to respond anymore and everybody knows it. I have done so many stupid things in my life with the media. Like there was, I remember doing an interview for a newspaper after I left wife number one, was with wife number two before she was my wife. I'm not, oh, I'll just give an interview to the newspaper. And they dragged it out over three days to full page. And, of course, it wasn't exactly how I said it.

And it just made matters worse. And that's what all these people are wrapped up in. But this phenomenon where, you know, there's certainly a couple million people who would just complete, this is all they're living for. They don't care about anything else. This is it. This is the thing. It's really, it's an interesting time to be alive to see it, for sure.

But, man, is it tiring? I don't know if you, if, I guess you don't follow. it that much, which just proves that it's possible. Of course it proves. It's like this phone in the drawer. Well, but you've got other things in your Algo. You've got crazy women from TikTok.

Actually, I've altered the Algo. Because I've been rejected. You want to hear by, I'm not thought that started to finally wane because I got sick of it. Yeah. Oh, good. I mean, really sick of it.

Yeah. I hear you. I mean, I'm still there's still TikTok clips i got one you know lined up here today but there's uh but i've i've it's moved over to another group of women that are bitching about not being able to find a man it's a whole genre oh yeah yeah it's a million of these women and they're going on all the good men are taking oh i'm disin't and they're moaning and groaning you because wonder why they can't get a date i can't get a date you nobody knows how no one will come up to me and they go and it's all whining i don't know how i got into this one because I didn't really solicit.

But I know how I got into it because I listened to one of them completely and I said, what? And I played it again. Boom, I'm done. And so now I'm getting all these videos of these women moaning and groaning about their lives. So you and I are actually living in two different realities. That's really

what it is. Which I guess is good. No, you need to do dimensionality. But I still have to denounce you. Oh, okay. I just have to denounce you. Well, then I fie denounce you, too. What everyone's missing is all the cool stuff that's happening, such as the absolute sci-op to usher in digital ID. I don't think you've caught this one. I only caught it

kind of by accident yesterday as I was doing prep. I'm like, well, hold on. If you caught it by accident yesterday, I'm doubtful that I caught it. Listen to this. Have you heard of 764? It does ring a bell. This is the warning that every parent needs to hear. And James Mother tells Fox News, the predators who targeted her son will never be held accountable because the federal laws that we have right now are insufficient. Members of 764 and other online networks target kids and extort them for money,

sometimes convincing them to kill or sexually exploit themselves or others or harm animals. Now, I warn you the next few images that you're about to see are disturbing. The violent online networks find vulnerable children on platforms like Discord and gaming sites. These pictures are from the Vernon, Connecticut Police Department. Police say a teenage girl was sex-storted by 764 after sending sexually explicit and self-harm material. The FBI tells Fox, quote, The FBI is investigating more than 350 subjects who are tied to violent online networks commonly referred to as 764, but includes many offshoot networks and names.

According to FBI director Cash Patel, nihilistic violent extremism arrest are up 500% while arrests. Did you hear that? Nialistic extremism arrests? Hold on a second. According to FBI. Wait, and 500% of course they give us the real numbers. One and then now five?

Yeah, no, you're not going to, of course. That would be 500%. FBI director Cash Patel, nihilistic violent extremism arrest are up 500. percent. While arrest specifically tied to 764, you see are up 20 percent. Nialistic extremism arrests, which is, that's new. Nightline got jumped on the bandwagon. Welcome to this special edition of Nightline. With a special edition. I'm joined by ABC's Chief Justice correspondent Pierre Thomas. Welcome back to Nightline, Pierre. Good to be here.

I know you've been working on this story for nearly a year. Indeed. Juju, this is truly one of the most terrifying stories I've ever covered in my 30 years as a journalist. Even worse than 9-11! We're talking about a network that's both a national security threat and also a direct threat to the nation's families. It's a story of pure evil, a network

that seeks to sow chaos in our society. This is good, isn't it? One child at a time. And we must warn you, there is graphic content and imagery that might disturb some viewers. The darkest course... The music is what disturbed me. And by the way, it should mention that this is the second report where they have to do something that they tell you,

they go, this is almost done purposefully. Oh, it is. There's graphic images that might disturb you, which is to get you in a mindset. But everybody got the same electronic press kit. And when they say that, they flash a video, or they flash a picture, rather, of somebody holding a pink knife right in front of a little pug dog's, face it's the weirdest and the pug dog of course looks like you've seen this more than once

yeah no everyone has the same press kit so it is a video release okay totally on you there is graphic content and imagery that might disturb some viewers the darkest corners of the internet terrorizing the most vulnerable in the most unexpected places 764 a loose network of anonymous people online across the world their goal to Unleash chaos. Chaos. Their targets, mostly children. It's chopping time.

Like this girl, coerced to cut her own hair and eat it. The FBI calling 7664 one of the biggest emerging threats. We're going out to the idiot. It's so sad. It's so sad. It's sad. How dumb are you? Well, listen.

Listen, if you've somehow been coerced on, I don't know, I'll just name a platform. off the top of my head, Roblox, if you've been coerced somehow into showing something or doing something, you thought it was somebody else, you thought it was a peer, you thought it was someone your own age, and then it turns out, oh, we're going to release this to all of your friends unless you cut off your hair and eat it. Oh, God. Which, their targets, mostly children. It's chopping time. Like this girl, coerced to cut her own hair and eat it. The FBI calling 764 one of the biggest emerging threats.

We're going after the new form of what I refer to as modern-day terrorism in America, 764 crimes. Each and every one of the 55 FBI field offices across the country are investigating 764 related cases, charges ranging from animal cruelty to child pornography, to murder, and even alleged terrorism. They're calling it the number one digital. threat right now against... Number one. Pushed into sexual and violent behavior. This is about the most disturbing story

I've seen. I mean, everything's in that report. But it's also in Canada. A Halifax teen who police say is affiliated with violent online extremist group 764 was scheduled for plea in court on Thursday, but did not appear. This comes days after the federal government labeled 764 a terrorist

organization, making Canada the first country to do so. The 16 year old's lawyer appeared on his behalf. requesting a change to the youth's release conditions. The accused will now be granted access to speak with legal counsel over a cell phone without internet connection under supervision. He will not have the ability to use any devices other than that moment in time. When announcing the charges in October,

investigators describe 764 as a group that glorifies serious violence. Officials say the network operates on social media and gaming platforms to gain trust with kids, before manipulating them into sharing intimate images or filming themselves committing acts of self-harm, violence, or animal cruelty. And then the final one is we go back to ABC. The I team continuing our coverage tonight on a sadistic online network targeting children. We've told you about the group 764. We've told you about it.

Members manipulate, unsuspecting kids online, blackmail, and extort them into producing sexually explicit images or harming themselves or others. 764 operates not only in the United States, but all over. over the world using threats, blackmail, and perverse manipulation to groom children for violence and pain, according to the FBI. Forcing them to perform depraved acts of violence against themselves and others, the more debased and violent the image or video a member is able to coerce a child to produce, the higher they're standing in the 764. We've got to change the law. Unfortunately, technology. There it is. Yep. Oh yeah. Dig Durbin. Has to be moving forward, and as it moves forward, it's more challenges for criminal prosecution.

Now they're using all sorts of means of coercing these young people into doing horrible things, harming themselves and others and animals. And in some cases, taking their own lives. Notice that they brought it, the new thing is the animals, because kids alone wasn't doing it. That's why I needed the little pug dog with a knife in front of his face. They don't, you know, okay, they got the girl cutting her hair and eating it. But once you bring in animals, now you've got everybody's attention.

Into doing horrible things, harming themselves and others and animals, and in some cases, taking their own lives. At least 28 people have been charged by the Justice Department of recent years with suspected ties to 764 or affiliated networks. Many have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children tells the I-Team it's on track to receive nearly 2,000 reports of abuse tied to these networks this year. Much of it's starting on popular online platforms. The imagery, the videos, the chats that we are seeing and reading are the most graphic that I have ever seen in my 20-year history. Everyone has the sick. Is that a robot voice?

No, it was not. But it's all the same. Most graphic, most disturbing, animals. Did I mention animals? Look at this puppy. Animals. Well, that's just because we've already been preconditioned to the notion that kids who abuse animals are likely to become sex offenders or whatever, which has been put into. public domain, it's in all the TV shows. It's been around forever. So you have to get the

animal angle in there. It's a good idea. So we have, I think, eight bills all of a sudden popping up. And the first couple ones are exactly what I said was coming months ago as, you know, we have the Godcaster app. And we already receive messages from the Apple store, app store, and from the Google Play Store. Here's the API for age verification. And they're going to want, they're probably going to start with every app or that kind of have started with every app should check the age. That's what's happening in Australia. Then we have the App Store Accountability Act, House Resolution 3149, which will require the app stores to verify the age of users and create parental accounts. And of course, the parents will have to prove, have to prove their child's age.

with some form of government-approved ID. Oh, real ID might work. We have the Screen Act, H.R. 1623. Now, this is for any website or app that has any kind of, quote, unquote, commercial pornography. Whatever that means exactly. What does that mean in this era? Exactly. We have the Popa, Popa, Parents over platform.

Forms Act. And this will, this requires app stores to determine a user's age category. So not exactly age, but age category. They'll be kind of like a PG-13 R-X rating. Then we have, of course, the... Now, this, back, can you stop a second here with this? Yeah. What kind of apps are we talking about if so, say I have an R.

RSS reader. Do I have to verify somebody's age because it's an RSS reader? Not yet, but I... Are we specifically to have to be at? What kind of apps? So, I mean, it makes no sense to me that I should, or I have a word processor. And I, who gives it crap of how old a person is? One way or the other. Well, obviously, all of this is ridiculous because it all points to one thing. It all points to, why don't we just make it easy everybody and give everybody a digital ID? And then when the app pops up or you want to use it or a website or whatever it is, you have to scan the QR code and then your phone with your digital ID will determine if you

can, or the app side or the website outside, this is going to happen. It's a foregone conclusion and it's happening worldwide. And it won't all be one system. So you have the Kids Online Safety Act. That's the big one. But there they're putting the responsibility on the quote-unquote platforms. We have the Safer Gaming Act, which is similar, but it allows the FTC to sue video game companies.

See, this is where it gets kind of interesting. When you put the liability and responsibility on the platforms. Oh, you mean like they, they should do with vaccines? Just wondering, why don't they do it think in those terms? You're preaching to the choir here, obviously. But this is what's happening. And the sci-op is so obvious.

No, it's totally, it's completely bull crap. And Cash Patel. It's good, though. You have to give them, come on. So they got the number. Those are magic numbers. The angel number, I think, is in there. Is seven, six, four, an angel number?

I think it is. Or, yeah, I think it is. But the whole thing is just like, it's just scambola written all over it in terms of its, they get some poor girl chewing her hair, okay, well, you know, fabulous. That's the best we can get here. Seeing angel number 764 frequently means that your guardian angels are trying to communicate with you. They're reminding you to stay on track.

Trying to protect you by getting digital ID. Yeah. What if, what is 764 divided by 33? Let's just my 23-151. No, that's nothing. That's no good. That's no good. But Cash Patel, he's right there leading.

He's the one. Oh, 764. It's not, it's not even, it's just a meme as far as I'm concerned. There's no network. And then they show these, like, Artwork, obvious AI generated 764 with dripping blood. Yeah. Now, the question is, will we have to have an age verification for our podcasts?

Eventually, I think it will happen. Well, it's going to be hard. Eventually. Eventually. Now, the other piece of information, I mean, we, since our podcast actually in many ways can be traced to Europe. Yeah. The likelihood of it happening

because of the European servers is higher, I think. Possibly. ...than if it was American-based. Possibly. But, I mean, it's still a ways off. I just don't know it's... No, no, it's a ways off, but it's coming.

It's past the four-year limit. It's all coming. But then, while all this is going on, did you hear of Core 5? I couldn't find a single report, by the way, from America, from Britain, from your anybody, only India News and W-I-O-N, which is just, it was so bad. I have two clips. Have you heard about Core-5?

No, my, no, I have two clips that I've decided to start doing this again, which is getting the rundowns from the beginning. They're less than two minutes. They're both short. It's the rundown, there's a point to be made by them, but the two clips will also, I'm just, I don't want to play them now, but I'm just going to say when you're playing,

it will also not bring any of this, any of the kind of news that we uncover from times of India, which is about us, is just, the mainstream media just refuses to cover it. And, but the thing about this is it went to, you know, a couple of different websites, Defense 1. I think we both read Defense 1.

Let me just tell you what the story is. Because I believe this to be true. There was a longer version of the National Security Strategy document, the one that I read. Right. And the longer version, which was obtained by Defense 1 and a couple other people got it, goes into more detail and read.

affirms a withdrawal from Europe's defense, realignment with culturally aligned allies, and the creation of a new power block to replace Western-dominated forums such as the G7, which Trump has complained about. And this will be Core 5 or C-5, and it will include America, Russia, China, India, and Japan and each of those countries has its own region of the world that you'd kind of be responsible for and at the same time the document apparently calls for uh Austria, Hungary, Italy and Poland to exit the European Union. That part I'm not so I'm not so sure if that really was in there but the idea of C5 core five I think that's totally real and this could be that would make sense. It's a good idea. That would be a great

trading block. And I'm sure it's high quality products. Yes. Best price. With the exception of India, maybe. Best price. Best price. Best price. Yeah, cheap goods. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's, and I'm sure that correct supply chains. I mean, it's like that you know, I keep remarking on you've bought one of

these two, which is that that ridiculous knife from Japan. pan oh yeah oh that thing's amazing with his 67 fold uh yeah 49 bucks 49 bucks 49 bucks of course it wasn't it was on sale but the but even when at the full price which because i've seen these things years ago when the when the ratio the the yen wasn't devalued to such an extreme and that that knife is typically was typically 250 dollars wow really that much i never They used to have them in some of the Japanese stores around here. I never bought one.

I always admired them, but I never bought one because of the ridiculous price. It's like, I can't afford this $250 a knife. But $49, I can afford that. Although it's better if people donated in the show. I have to mention that. So this longer version of the National Security Strategy document incorporates themes of cultural revival, traditional values, and religious identities. identity alongside a reassessment of U.S. global obligations.

And I think this was leaked on purpose. Of course. Of course. It was leaked on purpose. And it's shaking everybody in their boots. I want to do the rundowns. But first, I have to, I have to play a couple of clips from my boy because he just went off. And I'm, I'm now thinking that Mark Ritter may have been cut out or something. He went

off the rails at the Munich Security Conference. He's been going a little more off the rails every time we've listened to him. Here we go. I'm here today to tell you where NATO stands. And what he must do to stop a war. This is literally, this is literally his keynote at the beginning. And what he must do to stop a war. before it starts and to do that we need to be crystal clear about the threat

we are Russia's next target and we are already in harm's way we're already in harm's way everybody still get under your bed when I became NATO Secretary General last year

I warned that what is happening in Ukraine could happen to allied countries too and now is happening that we had to shift to a wartime mindset. This year we took the big decisions to make NATO stronger. At the summit in the Hague, Allies agreed to invest 5% of GDP annually in defense by 2035.

We agreed to increase defense production across the alliance. And we agreed to continue our support to Ukraine. But this is not the time for self-congratulation. What? This is not the time for self-congratulation. For what? Hey, we did it. We got the 5%. This is not the time for self-congratulation. Which is a total Dutchism, by the way.

But this is not the time for self-congratulation. I fear that too many are quietly complacent. Oh, no. Too many don't feel the urgency. Urgency. And too many believe the time is on our side. It is not It is not

No The time for action Is now The time for action is now Allied defense spending And production Must rise rapidly Our armed forces

Must have what they need To keep us safe And Ukraine must have What it needs To defend itself Now Now So he has a new sales pitch

He's not Now I don't I'm not even sure He's working for Trump I think he's just straight up working for the military industrial complex. And I have some boots on the ground to back that up. Yeah. Yeah.

And here's a, so now his new pitch is, hey, Russia is spending a lot. If you don't spend, you'll get behind. And that's, I understand the question. Of course, I am aware of fair stages of all the discussions, where I cannot go into all the details. But what I was talking about was primarily focusing, primarily, focusing on making sure that whatever the military power of the Russians, and at this moment that's considerable, given their extreme investments now in defense, total defense budget

$200 billion, and with their purchasing power, that's about the same as the whole of European NATO was spending on defense in terms of purchasing power. So it's really a lot of money. What is your purchasing power? And they don't have all the bureaucracy we have. So they can... No, because he's a dictator. Take the decisions quickly, easily move to this wartime economy, as they have done.

Wartime economy. And that's why they are posing a threat immediately. What we need to do with the security guarantees, first of all, to make sure that they will never try again. By knowing that our reaction will be, as I said, devastating. That's now the prime focus. Say what? It sounds coked up. Yeah.

So here's his final pitch. It comes at the end, but it's worth it. We are all now intimately aware of the geography of Ukraine. We all know what Porkovsk is in. Donbas in Donetsk and that small city of 60,000 people they started to onslaught on that city in the summer of 2024 it is now the end of 2025 they still have not captured it and in the meantime on the on this front line they are losing last month 25,000 people getting killed if you have a dictator willing to do this is a dictator willing to do this because you have

this crazy idea of some historical whatever he has it's some historical whatever he has. It's just some, like, what he's trying to say is he wants the old USSR back, you know? Then you have to be very careful. Very careful. And we have to stand ready. And that's why...

Stand ready. Are you standing ready, Sean? Are you standing ready? You know the founding city for modern Russia? St. Petersburg? Kiev. It's crucial that the biggest economy in Europe and that is Germany, with its enormous power, has decided.

Already Anno Schultz, with the sight of Wenda, and then with Chancellor in the, when this government was formed in March, even before the government was formed, on the leadership of now Chancellor Merz, to make this extraordinary investment in this defense. It is crucial. Please, I know also in Germany some people are questioned, do we really need to do this, yes.

I'm going to tell you something right now. I'm going to threaten you. If you don't put the money into the weapons of war in this war economy, you'll see what will happen. If you love the German language and you do not want to speak Russian, it is crucial. It is a sine qua non because otherwise this guy will not stop with Ukraine. That's, I think, what we have to be very watchful of.

So if you don't pay up, do you like speaking German? Because otherwise you'll be speaking Russian. What is going on here? You know, I think that Trump and the whoever's run in the country is referring back to C5. Yeah. It has a sense that Europe is so screwed that we really have to get out of there. Well, especially with the most recent development. After months of political wrangling and a flurry of criticisms issued by U.S. President Donald Trump last week,

European leaders have come out with a strong response. In an audacious move, the European Union have decided to indefinitely immobilize Russian assets held in EU countries worth a whopping 210 billion euros. An emergency clause in the treaties was triggered. No, no. The total is 210 billion. 90 is a euro clear. With a whopping 210 billion euros. An emergency clause in the treaties was triggered this week to freeze the overseas holdings

owned by the Russian Central Bank. The measure comes just days after Trump labeled Europe a, quote, decaying continent and called its leaders weak. With one bold move, the block was able to push back against external interference and insulate the large sum of money from the Kremlin's war machine. The bulk of the assets, some 185 billion euros, are held at Euroclear, a central securities depository in Brussels. The remaining 25 billion are spread in banks across five other EU member states. Until now, the funds have been paralyzed under the traditional sanctioned scheme, which requires renewal by unanimous vote among the member states bi-annually. So that's about the dumbest thing they could have done.

Of course, Russia is now suing Euroclear and probably the European Union because by saying, hey, it's indefinitely frozen. There was a – yeah, well, it was frozen anyway. It had to be renewed every six months. Yeah, but it was still frozen. And they, but if you listen to that report carefully, he made it sound as though that was money being used by the Russians in their war effort. Yeah, which I don't think is true. Well, it can't be true.

No, no, no. No, it's just a bunch of money that's over there that's frozen that, that was trusted, went to a trusted source. Yeah, and that source is no longer trusted. No, the source is no longer trusted. What kind of idea is that? Well, how does that improve things? Well, I think, remember, so Ukraine is out of money. They're out of money.

They need 60 or 70 billion euros like right now. So that's why Queen Ursula put the two-week deadline in place with the two options. Either we go raise this money in the public markets or we take the Russians money. And they could not get the 27 state member block. to all agree on taking the money. So somewhere in the treaties, which would be the Lisbon Treaty, I guess, somewhere in the fine print, it says, well, you know, if we declare an emergency, just like we do over here, you know, terrorism, but whatever, international, you know, we can do tariffs because of

terrorism, whatever. So the fine print said you can then evoke this emergency and then you can do whatever you want. And now that's exactly what the European Commission is. done. And no, Euroclear hates it, Belgium hates it, particularly because Belgium has not gotten a full protection. It's like, yeah, most of the thing, we'll protect you in most cases. But, you know, if you get Russian boots, I'm not going to do anything for you. So that's a mess. At the same, last night at this dinner, I spoke again to my buddy from my new friend from the Department of

War. Now, he's a younger guy. So he's in his fourth. I've talked about him before. Yeah, no, he's, he's becoming a regular on the show. Well, the problem with him is because he's younger, he's really careful. You can see him painfully just with his head down when I ask a question thinking, he says, I got to think about how I can answer that. I said, I've got clearance. It's okay.

You can tell me. He wasn't buying that at all. So I started off, I said, Hey, how's that Gen A.I.0.Mill doing, thinking I would break the ice. He says, that is, that thing is just complete utter bull crap. He says what we're really dealing with. Now, remember, he's in the modern, like the next generation warfare testing department. I think that's what it is.

Yeah, something like that. Something good. Advanced. Something good. He says, you know, we have this new procurement process. which is what Hegseth announced. You know, no longer are we, you know, going to spend billions of dollars and overrun by 100 billion and have something take 10 years before we could finally put it into the battlefield.

No, we start testing, going into the battlefield right away. And he says that, as he says, I see the inputs, I see the output. So I know that what we, the commands we give this stuff, he was a little unclear, but I'll get to that. we give the commands and then the stuff does it he says but i am unable to see what's in the middle i said what do you mean what's in the middle gen ai dot mill he says no palantier i said oh oh he says yeah we can't look inside to see it how it actually works and i said i said so this is about drones he said and i think i followed it by saying man ukraine must be great for you guys and i think he kind of, he went beyond what he should have said. He said, there's never been a better place

to test new stuff. And I said, this must be a great sales job. And he starts laughing. And so then we get back to the drones. And he says, you know, the big thing now is that all these drones are tethered because of the... Yeah, the little wire. He says, in Ukraine alone, half of the Ukraine is strewn with these wires. Thousands of miles of fiber optic cable. Yeah, the one false, yeah, fiber. Yeah, I know. You know, so they're on these long...

There's pictures of it. Yeah. It's just piles and piles of glass. And so, and then he said, and this is for our, this is, here's a tip. Early tip of the day for you entrepreneurial producers out there. He says, now everywhere we test this stuff, unless it's Ukraine, so we have to figure out how to clean it all up. And he actually said, this is a great business opportunity for anybody who starts

a company cleaning up these thousands of miles of fiber optic cables from testing all this new stuff. So there's a tip. There's strands, not cables. Yeah, strands. They're strands. And I said, well, shouldn't we have drones with big scissors on them or something? You can fly in and snip them.

End of conversation. And then you got silly. Yeah. I know. I ruined it. What was I thinking about? Yeah. So I think that this is all being, remember the people, the people who counter, the problem,

the reason they started doing that with the fiber optic strands and running them for miles. They're just literally miles and miles long. Yeah. It's because they haven't come up with the drone technology that will defeat the Russian jamming. That was the whole reason to do. it. Yes. Because the jammers would send

things over into a building or they'd just make a mess. And so they had, well, what are we going to do about? Well, let's have hardwire the damn things. Okay. This is like an idiotic answer to the problem. Yes. But I mean, they could they could also make them autonomous. But think about what's really happening. This is all the military industrial complex who are the biggest lobby.

in any government around the world, I'm sure half the European Union is in their pocket. And we know that half of our own Congress is in their pocket through APAC. And so if you look at... And others. And others, but indirectly through APAC. If you look at the new National Defense Authorization Act, which I have been reading,

and it hasn't passed. So, you know, the Senate has it and who knows what's going to happen. there are multiple provisions for directed energy capabilities, in particular high power microwave systems to neutralize drone swarms. So they're creating the problem. Oh, look, we got drones. And like, oh, now we need to have anti-dron technology. It's a game.

It's a big game. It's a big game. It really is. That NDAA is pretty funny, though. We got lots of alien stuff coming up. We, let's see, we have non-human intelligence needs to be recognized as sentient, intelligent, non-human life forms, maybe presumed responsible for unidentified anomalous phenomena, and we need to have a steering committee on that.

it's so good mandatory disclosure yes we have to have man like how many times have we had a disclosure i've seen it so many times now and uh space force special ops now space for special ops because you know i have a point to make here with a couple of clips and it it does kind of It applies to your C-5, which sounds more like an explosive. Well, it's one better than C-4, yes. Yeah. It goes to 11. So, and these are the NBC.

This are the two, I would, I'm going to ask you a question. So I decided to do the rundowns, just pick up the rundowns from the news broadcasts from NBC, since they now have Tom Yamis is the new guy running the show. Tom Yamas? Is that the guy? No. Who was that? Where did that guy go?

That what was his name? He's disappeared. I think he lost his voice. I don't know. Sure. What was his name? I thought that was Tom. That's his Tom Yamis?

No, no. Tom Yamis is a young looking guy. He looks like a fat boy. Begacy. Begacy. Begase. Begase. Begase. Yeah. Jeff Begase. Jeff Pagase. Yeah. Okay. So he's gone. He's been fired. I don't know why he's good. I think he, I don't know what happened to him. He got my attention. He got my attention. I liked it. He seemed to be a good reporter. Yeah. So let's go with the NBC. Now here's the Friday rundown. Tonight, the new photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate just released, rocking the rich and powerful.

The big names will appear with him in those images. The pictures show Epstein with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Woody Allen, and more. The photos released by Democrats as part of a congressional investigation. What the images could reveal and what those captured on camera with the convicted sex offender say about them now. The shocking downfall of Michigan's football coach in court today via Zoom, charged with home invasion, stalking, breaking and entering, what were learning about the threats he made to the staffer he was having an affair with. Dramatic rescues in Washington State, people trapped on rooftops, thousands forced to evacuate, and the threat is far from over.

A terrifying attack in Georgia, a man throwing acid on this woman, seemingly at random, police asking for help in finding the person of interest, and what her family revealed to us about her burns. alarming new video of a door dash driver caught on camera appearing to pepper spray of food order how police are responding tonight the comeback for the ages skiing great Lindsay Vaughn blowing away the competition

Wow. This is NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas. Good job, Tom. Good read. Good read, brother. That was really great. Good intro. All right, everybody,

gets set after the commercial. So they, of course, do start off in that order of the stories that's interesting enough, but... Can I just say one thing? There's a million things that's not in there,

and the thing, domestically, at least, you'd think there'd be at least a mention of the multi-billion dollar scandal of the Somalis stealing money from the people of Minnesota and the United States government. You see, if you listen to these reports, and I'm curious for your Saturday rundown, all that it is is things that could happen to you. That's what they're going for. What will get your nervous system? you could be your door dash guy could pepper spray you i mean what was all the other

acid in the face acid in your face uh of course you know your kid could get killed at brown university it's all about what could happen to you personally and then and then we'll whip you up at the end there to keep you going because you don't want to go oh i can't listen to this hey i could actually be 41 and win a ski medal i could be i could become an Olympic athlete it's so obvious they've studied this they know they know what keeps retention they've got it's not news well no that it's entertainment spraying the woman spraying the food order they have a video of it from a ring door cam and it's like uh it's not this okay well that's that's that's network level national news one person's gambling gambling anybody i mean it's like stupid

Meanwhile, there's a billion dollars in fraud by a bunch of Somalis. Yeah, but what about Israel, man? And in fact, they don't even mention that either. And I mean, of course, the shooting in Australia. Oh, that's this morning, wall to wall. It could happen to you, Jew. That's what it is. Well, actually, the wall to wall, which was annoying was the Brown shooting because they

showed, on Fox, they bumped everything and they just kept having the same report which went like this. So, Bill, what do you know? Well, we don't know anything yet, but we do have a couple of people here that can theorize on it. Let me ask them. Oh, what do you know, Bill?

Nothing. We got nothing. Hour later. What do you know? Well, no, nothing. It's going to be a press conference. Then they're going to tell them they know nothing. It's bull crap.

And so let's go to Saturday. Yes. And here's the Saturday. This is yesterday's rundown. Breaking news. The active shooter incident at Brown University, school officials alerting students to lock their doors, silence their phones, and take cover. The late development's just in.

Also breaking the deadly attack on American troops in the Middle East, two army soldiers and a civilian interpreter killed in an attack in Syria, according to the Pentagon. In what officials say, was likely an ISIS ambush. Tonight, President Trump's warning the U.S. will retaliate. Tenth of millions on alert for snow and Arctic cold. Whiteout conditions in some areas causing massive pylums, jackknife trucks, and traffic backed up for miles, where this is headed next, and the sub-zero temperatures tonight. Newly released 911 calls from that deadly UPS plane crash in Kentucky. The sky's black. The plane just crashed.

Hear from the witnesses who called in just moments after the flight went down. Inside the secret mission to get Venezuela's opposition leader out of the country. And after accepting a Nobel Peace Prize, what is Maria Corina Machado's vision for the future? Skiing superstar Lindsay Vaughn, keeping up her comeback for the ages, how she finished in her second day at the World Cup. Plus a comeback of another kind. As online shopping sets records this holiday season, why those big catalogs we all used to get in the mail are making a return. And there's good news tonight about hundreds of people stepping up. and lighting up the night to spread holiday cheer.

And there's the news. This is NBC Nightly News with Jose Diaz-Belard. You nailed the formula. Yeah, of course. What can happen, what bad things can happen to you, starts us off. It could be anywhere in the world, but it's generally what bad things can happen,

followed by somebody succeeding the Lindsay Vaughn. Why are they doing Lindsay Vaughn twice, and they still haven't mentioned the scandal in Minnesota? They haven't mentioned this. Not on the news. It's not covered, but they have Lindsey Vaughn twice in a row, two days in a row. But you see, you have to understand, this is our opportunity right now.

So mainstream is doing that. The alternative media, all the alternative media is doing is denouncing each other, denouncing Israel, denouncing Turning Point USA. Meanwhile, people tune in to the No Agenda show to get a little

bit deeper information. You know, like how Russia's going to attack Europe, how the core five is being set up. And you know what? You're not going to hear that ever. I mean, until it's officially announced, they're not going to do it. It's not interesting. And by the way, that is why we just get by on this show, because we know how to do it. You were the master of trolling audience. You were the master. You did it for years. Mac sucks. Oh, actually quite interesting what they've done over there at Apple.

Mac is horrible. I mean, you were the master of it. And, you know, but it doesn't fit the format. You're not, even what you used to do is no longer any good. So we just, we just kind of get into stuff. We tell people what's happening in the world. We deconstruct news. We deconstruct the news.

And what is today? Today is the 14th. Yes. So there is one more day, but I tend to keep track of things when, you know how people say, well, that didn't age well? I always love that. I was love that. Because I've done a lot of those, you know, like, well, Curry, that didn't age well. But let me go back to just two weeks ago on this very show. Urgent intelligence alert with flashing lights emojis. Oh, NCTC National Counterterrorism Center confirms al-Qaeda presence on U.S. soil imminent multi-city Islamic terror attacks.

So now we have Laura Lumer, we have Laura Logan, we have Alex Jones, we have General Flynn, it all kind of comes down to the sleeper cells, and she says this. Sources tell me tonight that the National Counterterrorism Center has officially determined that Islamic terrorists affiliated with al-Qaeda have infiltrated U.S. soil and are actively planning a series of coordinated Islamic terror attacks. This marks the first time federal counterterrorism officials have openly acknowledged the immediacy of such threats, signaling a potential escalation in domestic jihadist activity not seen since the height of ISIS-inspired plots in the mid-2010s. She goes on and on. My sources tell me the attack strategy by al-Qaeda is designed to sow confusion and crippled

emergency response. These terrorists have been purchasing large quantities of police and first responder uniforms from surplus outlets and online vendors in at least five states. These acquisitions trace through bulk credit card anomalies and CCTV footage suggest a plan to impersonate law enforcement during the assaults, allowing attackers to blend in direct panic crowds or even execute secondary strikes on fleeing victims. And we're back. And I should Add to that, that Candace Owens also said this. And she actually said this tweet will age well. And you know, you know, agenda show.

When we hear this kind of thing, we just play a jingle. Ow! ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of the hell. ISIS. Because we've been here before. We've heard it all. We've seen it all.

It's all a hoax. All of it. All of it. It's all a big hoax. It's amazing. The Epstein thing, of course, was very weak, weak, weak attempt. Well, let me play the Epstein. I actually have the Epstein, an NBC report that came right after Tom Yamis got it, pushed it to the top.

Okay. And good evening. We begin tonight with those stunning new images from Jeffrey Estes of State. The photos are a- Stunning, a desk. Glims into his high-flying world featuring presidents, billionaires, and celebrities. Oh, wait, stop the clip for a second. People have to realize that they're showing all these, you know, the pictures that were released by Congress.

Yeah. Or by the Democrats. There is nothing in these pictures. No, zero. They're boring, actually. They're just like a bunch of, it's like anybody's role from their digital camera. It's just stuff. The pictures were released by congressional Democrats.

And President Trump just responded to them moments ago from the Oval Office. I did like the insinuation of the sex toy pictures. Did you see those? No, they didn't show them on this report. And I haven't seen them. No, there were a couple of reports that's a picture of some sex toys in boxes, you know, like anal, intruder and, you know, and it was a glove, a glove with all kinds of ribbed fingers and stuff. And I'm thinking to myself, I would say 350 million Americans, whatever, it's got

a hundred million Americans who are going, oh, crap, I got that one too. You know, it's like, what are you trying to do? What is this trying to tell us? One photo shows the president from years ago, pictured with six women whose faces have been redacted. Other photos show several high-profile men you see them here, including Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Woody Allen, along with this photo of former President Bill Clinton that appears to be signed by him. What? Did you see the pictures that all the wonders, a guy that looks exactly like Ron Bloom? No, I missed that. Who says it wasn't?

He said next to Branson. Who says it wasn't him? It might have been. It looks just like him. And Woody Allen, along with this photo of former President Bill Clinton that appears to be signed. by him showing him with Epstein and Galane Maxwell. The White House blasting the release tonight saying

House Democrats are trying to create a false narrative and we should note these images do not appear to show anything illegal but it all comes while the clock is ticking ahead of next week's deadline for the Justice Department to release their Epstein files. Ryan Noble starts us off tonight from Capitol Hill.

Wow, he's going to start us off. Well, I'm very excited about this report now. What can we expect? I can tell you what to expect. what you just heard. Exactly the same stuff. Here we go. Tonight, a new trove of photos.

Trove. It's a trove. Trove. It's a trove. Yeah, as in treasure. Revelling more proof of the convicted sex offender's relationship with several powerful men. These pictures, some of these photos?

Hold on a sec. Do we need more proof? I guess. We already know that this is not. What's new here in this report? Nothing. Nothing, but we're still going to listen to two minutes. of it. So let's go.

Chip with several powerful men. Powerful. These pictures, some of these photos are really disturbing. These images, part of a tranche of more than 95. It's very disturbing that there's nothing implicating anybody in any of them. 5,000 undated photos. Undated. Handed over to the House Overset

Committee and released by Democrats. They do not appear to show any illegal activity. Appear. One shows Epstein with a younger President Donald Trump and an unidentified woman. Trump also appears in other pictures without Epstein, but with women whose identities are protected by the committee. Trump has denied... I hate to interrupt. Actually, I don't, obviously. No, it's what we do. It's what we do. Would you call a younger President Trump? Was he president then 25, 30 years ago?

They always call him Trump or Mr. Trump, but in this case, a younger President Trump. Yeah, they always, right. They always call him Mr. Trump. Or they, even when he's... Currently they're discussing it, but now that he's with a picture of Epstein and some blonde who's got a big smile on her face of who they never identify, they say the younger President Trump. It's like, no, he's not younger President Trump. He wasn't president 30 years ago. No. We continue. Trump has denied knowing anything about Epstein's criminal activity. See, then they don't call him President Trump. It's just Trump. He has photos with everybody. I mean, almost there are hundreds of.

and hundreds of people that have photos with him. So that's no big deal. I know nothing about it. The committee also releasing this photo of Epstein and a bathtub. And this one, a signed photo of Bill Clinton with... By the way, the bathtub photo. I'm like, that's a pretty normal looking bathtub. You know, from like a...

Yeah, he's just in a bathtub. So what? From like a two-bedroom apartment. Oh, my God, he's taking a bath. That's not right. A signed photo of Bill Clinton with Epstein and his partner, Glein Maxwell. Clinton has said in the past that he'd wish.

he'd never met Epstein. There were also new photos of Epstein with one-time Trump ally Steve Bannon that he posing for a mirror selfie. We're taking Bannon down. In another of the... In another... Ben, there was a picture on a desk

of a woman who appears to be passed out in a bathtub. Other powerful people like billionaires, Bill Gates and Richard Branson, are in the photos as his film director, Woody Allen. In one picture, Alan and Epstein are on a movie set. Bannon, Gates, Branson, and Allen did not respond to NBC News requests for comment.

These photos are separate from the evidence held by the Department of Justice. Congress voted to force the DOJ to release that material a week from today, and congressional leaders are warning the administration better comply. This is a new law with criminal implications if they don't follow it. And, Ryan, walk our viewers through the timeline now. Should we expect more releases like this in the near future? Walk us through a time line. Yes, Tom.

We should expect a steady stream of releases just like this one. The committee, of course, in possession of more than 95,000 asking photos. And they also have access to a trove of bank documents, which they expect to release in the very near future. All right. I can top this. Now, by the way, don't you agree that the second report was identical to Tom Yamma's rundown? Yeah, because why fill anything? This is what they do.

All these news networks do the same thing. They give you what they're going to talk about. And then they talk about it. And then they talk about it in the same manner that they told you that they're going to, it's just like, what is this? Is this the third grade? They could have spent some time on the billions of dollars, filched from the American taxpayer by the Somalis. I'm telling you. And they won't touch it.

It's so much more interesting. Instead, I think your representative, Dave Min from California, Dave Min, are you familiar with Min? I think he's Asian. Meen, Dave mean, mean. Yeah, I don't know who he is. He's from L.A. probably. Yeah. So he comes on, what show was this? I can't remember what show this was.

I think of CNN. And he's talking about the photo of the Trump condom, which, you know, if you look at it, it was obviously from the long period where Epstein hated Trump. It was a, you know, it was like, it was like a novelty gift because it has Trump's face on it and underneath the letters. It's huge. Okay. So that's all we're seeing. And listen to how this numb skull positions it.

It's great. I do want to get your thoughts on one photo in particular and hope that you can give us some more detail. This image shows a bowl of novelty condoms with a caricature of Donald Trump's face. on it. Can you tell us who took this picture, when it was taken? If there's any context that you can provide about this? Yes. I think we're still working through the details,

so we're trying to learn that information as well as the identities and ages. We're trying to work through that information, learning the identities and ages of the young women he was standing around. The six women whose faces were covered up. We may not necessarily release all that information. We're trying to get those answers.

No, of course you won't. But again, what I think that photo, which was clearly like a gag. It's huge with Donald Trump's photo on these condom packages. I just illustrated the very buddy-buddy nature of the relationship between Trump and Epstein. The very buddy-buddy-buddy

nature. Did he say buddy-buddy-buddy or buddy-buddy-buddy? Buddy-buddy. Buddy-buddy. The very buddy-buddy-buddy nature. We've seen lots of other indicators how close they are. The question that I think a lot of Americans want to know and a lot of the survivors want to know is was Donald Trump someone who actually broke the law?

Did he rape children? And we know, of course, one girl, now a woman... Did Donald Trump rape children? Filed a lawsuit accusing Donald Trump of raping her when she was 13 or 14 years old. I believe that that was since taken back, that that claim was... She withdrew the lawsuit under threat. She claimed that she was being threatened. Her family was being threatened.

But he raped her. And I'm not saying that that would... Everyone in this country has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. But we all know he raped her. I am pointing out, however, that someone did. did file a claim in a court of laws saying that Donald Trump had raped her when she was 13. I think the question that a lot of us want to know, who else is involved, how many people are involved in this network? And we know that the cover-up goes all the way to the top.

It's been a high-level cover-up for decades and decades under both Republican and Democratic administrations. Oh, brother. That's California for you. Yeah, that's what makes the state so charming. Yes. It's extremely charming. particularly Southern California, if he's from Los Angeles. It's a beautiful thing. It's just beautiful.

So, yeah. I never lived in Southern California, but you did. I did, yes. I barely lasted a full year. It was so bad. Really, it was just horrible. I did not like it at all. Everybody, especially Los Angeles.

Everybody's just, who are you? What can I get out of you? Who are you connected to? Can you get me, can you get me a, audition. That's basically it. I'd love to hear, so I have this morning's interview with Maria Carina Machado. But before we do that, I'd love to get some of your Venezuela clips played. Yeah, this is kind of a rundown on the starts off with the WTF clip, which is

WTF, clearly. Right, we're going to be focusing on Venezuela. The latest news is that last night on Wednesday, the US government released a video of US forces basically seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker. And the pictures are remarkable. I mean, it's amazing that you can see this much of a military operation happening in the ocean. But there's video of U.S. forces repelling out of a helicopter on ropes to land on the top of this massive oil tanker. And then guns drawn, they're marching towards the cabin where the crew are. You can see them basically taking the ship. There's about 10 of them land on it. It's really, really remarkable to be able to watch. Are you kidding me? The Houthis was 10 times better.

It knew it was better produced, but it brought to mind something like I didn't consider. Who was taking this video? This is like the moon landing videos where the thing takes off and the camera follows it up. Who's running the camera? I think it was from another helicopter, I think. No, it was stationary.

Because I saw these videos over and over. And no, it wasn't from another helicopter. It was a stationary camera on the boat taking pictures of these guys jumping off their chopper onto the boat. Repelling, John. They were repelling, John. They were repelling. And so they're repelling onto the boat. And I was thinking about it when I, it was when this guy was going on and on and on about it on the BBC. I'm thinking, wait a minute, it is kind of fishy.

Well, it wasn't as well produced, overproduced as the one you're talking about. The hooties video was great. They had them busting in. But just beside the point is still, who took the movie? Somebody on the boat, some guy with his cam. He's, oh, let me, oh, look what's happening here. Instead of running for cover, be standing there taking a movie? What kind of a moron is that?

No, this is, there's something fishy about this takeover. So that's all I, so that got my attention. That's where I became a WTF. You're not doing it right. You're supposed, take a page from Candace Owen. You're supposed to say, I don't know, I just kind of weird vibes about who took this video footage. Isn't that interesting? I'm just saying, I'm just asking, we're just, we're just asking questions.

Okay. Okay. We're just asking questions. Yeah, I'm not going to be able to get to that type of presentation. I would be making her money. So, uh, let's go. So this was all part of a BBC report that was on one of their, it was on their service, World Service, and it was also on one of their podcasts.

But here we go with the whole thing, Part 2. And that was released shortly after Donald Trump told us that they had seized this ship and said that they were out, the U.S. was probably going to keep the oil. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized, actually. And other things are happening, so you'll be seeing that later, and you'll be talking about that later with some other people. What happens to the oil on this ship?

Well, we keep it, I guess. When you have to follow the tanker. You know, you're a good news, but just follow the tank. Do you know what we're going to go to the helicopter? Follow the tank. Is it sure he's going to keep it? But we're going to, I guess so we're going to keep the oil. The biggest, it had to be the biggest ever, didn't it?

the seizure. But if you thought that was a kind of slightly peculiar, Trump-esque reaction to what had happened, listened to the Venezuelan president, who was every bit of strange. Here's Nicolas Maduro. Don't worry. Be happy. Don't worry. Be happy. Wait a minute. When did this is Maduro?

Yeah, you didn't see that? No, in fact... Yeah, he had his sombrero on and he had this long Hawaiian-like shirt and he started singing. That reminds us of a classic. Don't worry. Be happy. Don't worry, be happy. But Putin did a great job.

The Maduro, he really needs to work on his diction. Let's go back. That was good. The biggest, it had to be the biggest ever, didn't it, the seizure? But if you thought that was a kind of slightly peculiar, Trump-esque reaction to what had happened, listened to the Venezuelan president, who was every bit of strange. Here's Nicolas Maduro. Don't worry. Be happy. Don't worry. Be happy. Don't worry. Be happy.

La la la la la la la la la la la la just peace not war Peace Just peace not war he was saying there And in Spanish immediately before he broke into song He was saying to American citizens who were against the war I respond with a very famous song Now the US is not actually declared war on Venezuela at this point And said that they had seized that oil tanker

Because it was transporting sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran as part of an illicit oil shipping network that the U.S. says is supporting foreign terrorist organizations because there are American sanctions on oil from Venezuela, so they say the ship was breaking them, and that's why it's been seized. Yeah, I mean, it's fair to say most Venezuelan oil goes to China, doesn't it, in this day and age, is not going elsewhere in the world. Listen to these agents, these North Sea Nexus agents,

trying to, like, make up the story here. This is very clear. It's cut dry what this is about. The sanctions been going on for years with multiple presidents. And now all of a sudden, well, you know, by the way, I'm looking at that footage. That was from a U.S. helicopter. It's not stationary. It's taken from a helicopter.

Well, maybe. No, whatever the case, for sure. Well, it still seems, okay, well, good for them taking pictures of themselves. The, back to this thing, it was the ship that was sanctioned. Yes, not the oil. No, the oil is just the bennie. There's a, we, we had it on our show, 900 ships are in this category to be seized. And I think there's, if I, from what I've read, there's about six more that are in imminent threat of being seized, like immediately.

Well, you know, yeah. It's a lot of free oil. Yeah, yeah. It's like, talking between 50 and 50, 50. million dollars a boatload more or less. Yeah. It's crappy. It's a crappy. It's a real, it's a

it's a crummy oil, we should mention. Yeah, you have to, don't you have to mix that oil? No, it's not that bad. It's pretty bad, though. It's a sour, heavy sour oil. A typical Brent type oil that comes from under the water

as opposed to land-based oils like West Texas, which is some of the finest. oil. Yes. Yes. Black gold. Texas tea. I was looking into this, by the way, and the best oil in the world in terms of like pure, like you pump it out, it's basically diesel fuel. You can put it in a truck. Where's that? Algerian Saharan crude. It's got almost no sulfur, almost no sulfur. And the API, which is the measure of the of the viscosity basically the AP and the higher the number the better is the highest and it sounds like it's very similar to me it reminds me when I was an air pollution inspector in refineries are my thing uh we had a little refinery that was shuttered some years ago

called the pacific refinery that got some sort of bolivian crude oil that was similar and it they didn't even need a desulfurization of facility at the, at the refinery, which is unbelievable. Little tidbit there for you, oil and gas guy out there. Yes, yes. This is dynamite insight. It's not insight. It's a fact. All right. We go to BBC 3. But it appears to be a ship that, at least in theory, was at one stage coming from Iran, which obviously is also subject to sanctions. I mean, it may well be that all of that is true and that it is sanctioned, but it's still a very big deal, isn't it? Not just because of stealing the oil and putting it somewhere, but much more importantly, what it's... Stealing the oil.

What? Did he say not just stealing the oil? We're not stealing the oil. He said stealing the oil and putting it somewhere. What are you putting it? Very big deal, isn't it? Not just because of stealing the oil and putting it. putting it somewhere. Well, considering it's Brits, yeah, they probably deem that their oil,

their money. You're stealing our money. Yes, I'm sure that these people are in on it. Much more importantly, what it says about, you know, the ability of Venezuela to continue to do business in the modern world without Donald Trump putting more pressure. Wow. I think that's the question, isn't it, Sarah? Is this, are we talking about a gradual ratcheting up towards something or not? Yes, I think we are. A little bit of background. Our America says we'll be very well aware that there have been over 20 U.S. strikes now on boats that America says is smuggling cocaine to America from Venezuela.

There has been CIA covert action sanctioned inside the country, according to Donald Trump, and a huge buildup of military forces in the region as well, both land and sea forces. And Donald Trump muses every so often about the possibility of a land invasion. So I think we don't know exactly what he's going to do, but I think we do know what his aim is, and that is regime change. He wants Nicolas Maduro out in Venezuela. He doesn't like him. He's a far-left ruler who's no friend of the United States, no friend of Donald Trump, does most of his business with China. And Trump has decided he wants to get rid of him.

I don't know if he has decided whether he's prepared to go to war to do it, but I think he's prepared to use a fair amount of American muscle to see how much pressure it will take to topple Maduro. Who was that speaking with such authority? one of the BBC women. I think it's a woman. It can't tell. It could be a guy if you think about it. But they some sort of, you know, I think they cited her. She's a Middle East or not a Middle East's Latin America expert.

Was that clip three or four? That was three. Okay, because clip five is an interesting one. But let's go to four. And to those who think they've spotted a bit of a flaw in Donald Trump's logic. So on the one hand, he's telling the. world, we don't care what you do. We're not interested in regime change anymore. We're not even interested in whether you pursue human rights. So you don't pursue human rights. You just

do what you want to do. He made that famous speech, didn't he? I think you were there, Sarah, in Saudi Arabia. Really cogent speech, I thought, actually, that set out Trumpism. And of course, more recently we've had the national security document that they put out, of course, so much upset in Europe, basically saying, you know, the world should get on with its business, except he's not doing that with Nicolas Maduro. And as you suggest, there are kind of various reasons why Maduro could be a target. He's not a Democrat. In fact, he almost definitely stole an election,

and he runs his country incredibly badly, and lots of people have to leave that country. Lots of Venezuelans have left the country. We'll perhaps talk a bit more about Venezuela in a second. But there is another reason, isn't there, why he would say this fits with his overall view of the world. A view of the world that was made very clear in that national security strategy that was released last week. Donald Trump believes that the United States has a sphere of influence

in the Western Hemisphere and that basically Central and South America ought to be, if not controlled by the United States, that he has the right to make sure that there are regimes friendly there, doing business with the United States and where he perceives there to be any kind of enemy or opposition that he has the right to interfere and to intervene and that nobody else does. He's making it very clear that this is America's backyard. A European or other foreign influence is not welcome in any way whatsoever, but that he ought to be allowed to cast it in his own image practically. So we have this pressure campaign against Maduro in Venezuela. Wow, these people are flipping out. They know.

And cast it in his own image? What does that even mean? How does he do? How does he cast Latin America in his own image? What is that? Doesn't even make any sense. I'm looking at it through the North Sea Nexus lens. And, you know, right away, I mean, they know that this is hurting them. They know it. These people, they know.

They won't admit it. Well, no, of course not. But they know, they just know through the milieu that they're in, you know, the people they talk to. You know, they talk to sources. No, I think you're dead right. Right, you can stay with that lens as far as I'm concerned. Let's go to the kicker, which is the second of the last clip. We've seen him interfere in Honduras, where they are still in the process of counting the results of a very recent election.

Donald Trump intervened in that by saying he was backing the conservative candidate and making threats that the U.S. would stop funding Honduras if his preferred candidate didn't win. And then, of course, he released the former president as well, who had been serving a 45-year jail sentence in America for drug smuggling. He was pardoned by Donald Trump. And then if you look at Argentina, where his friend Milley is in charge, you see very, very friendly relations where a $20 billion loan has just been issued to Argentina in a form of a currency swap to help prop them up.

And he says very... How about three months ago? Port of things about Argentina. So what is making obvious is if you are America's friend, then you will do very well out of this. and if you are in opposition to Donald Trump, watch out. Yes. Did you hear the little switcherushi pulled there?

If you're America's friend, things are great, but if you're in opposition to Donald Trump, wait a minute. Oh, yeah, good catch. Let's hear it again. Help prop them up, and he says very supportive things about Argentina. So what is making obvious is if you are America's friend, then you will do very well out of this. And if you are in opposition to Donald Trump, watch out.

Oh, yes. Yeah, that's a good catch. I thought that was a little, low, low, that was a little bit sleazy. Oh, okay, well, hi, gambling, okay, yeah, I get it. Right, right, right. So now this, by the way, so this is the last clip, but this is a, this is taken a little later in the thing. This was an hour of the same discussion so you can be thankful that you've only got about 10 minutes max, or probably about eight.

But this little history thing I thought was good because it, It adds a, this is the last clip I have, it adds a little dimensionality to what's really going on. The Roosevelt corollary, which would have been, I can't remember when it was, the beginning of the last century when Teddy Roosevelt was around, that basically said not only must the Europeans not interfere in the Western Hemisphere, which is what the Monroe Doctrine said, but also America, exactly as you're saying, Thayer, America takes to itself the responsibility to interfere where it needs to. And that's, I mean, it's fair to say, this isn't new with Trump. I mean, it's been the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary have been much acted on. You mentioned Honduras.

Honduras was the original Banana Republic. And a lot of those bananas, almost all of them, owned ultimately by American firms. And, of course, this whole business of America's influence in Central America, but also leaching down into South America, is nothing new. But there's also just this sense now, I suppose, that. that with Trump, the thing that people thought might be different was that he wouldn't actually involve himself. There might be all sorts of rhetorical flourishes about those rules. Okay, this is interesting.

I'm just going to stop it here for a second. So as part of what I see as an op with the potosphere, is that this is continuously being positioned as Trump, foreign wars, he's a neocon, you know, why are we doing this? Why are we, why are we in Venezuela? Why are we in Israel?

Why are in the Middle East? Why are we? So they are, they keep positioning this away from what I wish the president could just come out and say it. It says, look, the Brits suck. And we're going to, we're going to cut them off at the knees and all of the EU until they, until they, you know, get rid of all this dumb stuff they've been doing to us for 250 years. and so they just keep countering with, oh, yeah, oh, it's neocons. And people like Tucker fall for it.

Because he instigates it. I don't think he falls for it. You give him more credit than I do. I don't think he's that smart. I think he just talks to people that he admires. He has dinners. Do I have to talk a... Mr. Tucker?

No, I do think you're right. I have a different opinion of him than you do. Okay. We continue. I think he's a little more proactive and sneaky than you do. You think he's just a function of his idiotic surroundings. Well, we saw him on Fox and we were always miles ahead of him. And then all of a sudden, you know, oh, the Fox was holding me back.

The Fox show is completely written by, you know, staff. And it was like he was just happy to be there. Yeah. But anyway, let's keep going. Like a Maduro would come into that category. Oh, by the way, stop. The guy says, he says the theater of Roosevelt, I think the word is corollary, but he has this weird. He says colliery.

Colerie. Colerie. It's crazy. I don't know that the British pronounce it that way. I think he may be mispronizing. Well, he also says Roosevelt. Roosevelt. Roosevelt.

The thing that people thought might be different was that he wouldn't actually involve himself. There might be all sorts of rhetorical flourishes about those rulers he didn't like, and Maduro would come into that category. But nobody thought he'd actually, well, I think a lot of his supporters didn't think they'd actually act on it. Because he said that he wasn't interested in getting involved in any more foreign wars. And even if he does think that South America is America's backyard, you know, it's very definitely foreign. And we've yet to see if he does have any interest in putting boots on the ground to support these policies, even though there has been this huge buildup of forces most of whom are stationed in Puerto Rico at the moment. They could be there as a threat rather than an imminent invasion force.

but this is not just because Donald Trump thinks that he ought to control the policies of other countries. This is absolutely rooted in American self-interest. So he would argue that this is about America first. Yes. Okay. So they understand, they do understand it. They do understand. Yeah, at that level. Yes. Okay. So I want to bring in Maria Carina Machado. And this whole thing is just so interestingly intertwined and it's not coincidence. So we actually, had ex-special forces smuggle her out of Venezuela with, you know, with zodiacs in the ocean and apparently, you know, everybody was aware. It was quite the mission.

It's almost a movie. Yes. It will be a movie. And Ben Affleck will produce it because he's a go-to guy. He's a go-to guy for the pickle farm. But it'll only stream on Netflix. There's no more awards for you, Matt. I'm sorry, Ben.

Ben, who knows? So Maria wins the Peace Prize. She says Trump should have gotten the Peace Prize. Trump's like, ah, this is a nice lady. Then all of a sudden, in the midst of all of this, she's smuggled out by ex-special forces with understanding or perhaps we should say collusion. Any collusion?

Well, if you listen to that last report from the BBC and they once before, they said that the CIA is already embedded in Venezuela. Oh, yeah. Of course. Because Sarah loves to be in South America. They're everywhere. And so they're probably part of the op that got her out. So they got her out.

Maybe they only went there for that reason, for all we know. Got her to Oslo. Then, you know, she's like, hey, hello, my Venezuelan people. She's on the balcony. None of this is, by coincidence. By the way, symbolically. on the balcony. Like Julian Assange.

Well, are also on the balcony like Evita Peron. Peron. A good point. Peron. I'm sorry. Yes. Don't cry for me, Argentina. And so now

Margaret Brennan has Maria on the show this morning. And I think, I mean, I have a number of clips, but the first one may be enough. Help us understand what is going on because we are seeing here the U.S. an increase in the pressure campaign, more sanctions on Venezuelan individuals and

vessels. We saw it an armed seizure of a vessel carrying oil out of Venezuela. Selling oil on the black market is really important money for the Maduro regime. Do you endorse this idea of more seizures and possibly even a blockade? Look, I absolutely support President Trump's strategy and we the Venezuelan people are very grateful to him and to his administration because I believe he is a champion of freedom in this hemisphere and that's why and I say this from Oslo right now I had dedicated this award to him because I think that he finally has put Venezuela in where it should be in terms of a priority for the United States national security And we do support these actions because, Margaret, we are facing not a conventional dictatorship.

This is a very complex criminal structure that has turned Venezuela into safe haven of international crime and terrorist activities, starting with Russia, Iran, Cuba, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Colombian guerrilla, the drug cartels operating freely and directed in partnership with Maduro and his regime. And as every criminal structure suffers is when the inflows from their criminal activities are cut. And these, in the case of the Maduro regime, comes from the oil black market to drug trafficking, gold smuggling, arms smuggling, even human smuggling and trafficking. There it is. It's all about the money. That's what we're doing. We're cutting off the money. And you're going to see. you're going to see this in Wall Street. Liquidity is drying up because it literally is being blown up in the ocean

or stolen. It's so, it's so clear to me. But Trump just wants foreign wars. He's a neocon, neocon. So she, she's in on the game. And she is the chosen one. Well, she's no slouch for knowing

what side of the fence to be on and how to do it. It sounds like you support more sanctions and possibly more seizures of oil. How could you be for Trump? This is wrong. But isn't there a risk that cutting off money

will further hurt the already impoverished people of Venezuela? Isn't that a risk? Of course, what we're doing is for the well-being of the Venezuelan people. What we want to do is to save lives. But Maduro,

was the one who declared a war on the Venezuelan people. We didn't want a war. We are suffering with hundreds of thousands of killings and forced executions in the last years.

And right now, I want to be very clear with the international community. The resources Maduro gets are not going to schools or hospitals. In Venezuela, a teacher earns one dollar a day. Pensions are less

than one dollar a month. Our children go twice a week to school. The sources, the cash the regime gets from these illegal activities, goes to buy arms, to pay gang members, to spy and infiltrate, and to even further increase their illegal narcotics activities and so on. So these resources are not going towards the people. They're going for corruption and crime.

Yes, exactly. That's giving it to her. By the way, somebody mentioned one of these reports that in the 60s and 70s, Venezuela had the highest per capita income of any people in the world. Oh, really? Yeah, because that's when they had,

they just got their oil going. They had Citgo gas stations all throughout the United States, and they had their own refineries, and they were making just tons of money, were redistributing it the way the Arabs do to the people. I mean, it's like Kuwait, you know, it gets, you don't have to work there if you're a citizen. No, he's sending it back to his master's. In England, in the city of London.

I'll just play two more. Yes. Or I love this one just because of a famous phrase here. The regime itself has done a number of things. They have revoked TV licenses. for journalists to broadcast truthfully. He has jailed journalists. The United Nations says the National Guard targeted political opponents,

committed sexual violence, tortured people, and committed other crimes against humanity. So from where you sit, is Maduro stepping down enough, or do you need the entire regime dismantled? In which case, that sounds like a country in collapse? That's a very good question, because certainly Maduro is ahead of the structure, But it's like any other mafia system, you have families or groups that operate and sometimes even compete among each other.

There are different degrees in the crimes they have committed. Certainly those that have committed crimes against humanity that have been reported by the fact-finding missions of the United Nations should face justice, local justice and international justice. There are other members of the regime or the armed forces that have committed lesser crimes. And certainly we will search for justice, not revenge. But this I'm going to insist, what we're living right now is chaos. Padura represents chaos. We're going to put order. Order out of chaos, anybody?

Isn't that something that we have somewhere? Isn't that, or is that New World Order, Order Out of Chaos? I can't remember. Where is order out of chaos? All right. Last one. Would that include U.S. peacekeeping troops or other troops on the ground?

I cannot answer that question right now. I don't think that's the case. Trump told me not to talk about it. No, she knows that she's at the cliff edge and she doesn't have the information to say one way or the other. I don't think they didn't tell her not to talk about it. They don't know. I cannot answer that question right now.

I don't think that's the case. There are other countries that have offered support as well in order to strengthen democratic institutions. What? Yeah. The government elect is in place, but that we will have to address that once we have the government elect in place and put in order, bringing order back to our country. And one thing that you mentioned before about the refugee crisis is going to be exactly the context. Here we go. The day Maduro goes, you will see tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants coming back home from the United States and all over the world.

I mean, our diaspora is desperate to go back to Venezuela. So even from that perspective, it is a win-win situation to have democracy in Venezuela. Win-win. It's a win-win. It's a two-fer. it's good it's good so it's probably true because venice i haven't been there but my understanding is absolutely beautiful country uh i don't know i've never been i've never been we should go you can barely get to a meet-up in your hometown go to venezuela But kind of on the tip of bleeding the North Sea nexus dry. This didn't get, of course, any real play in the news,

but this is our Secretary of State, Rubio, talking about NGOs. The United States has spent billions of dollars over the years in helping with health strategies all across the world. What we learned over time, and especially after coming here, is that oftentimes, and I'm oversimplifying it, but this is an accurate description. What would happen is we would go to a country and say, we're going to help you with their health care needs.

Then we would drive over to western, northern Virginia somewhere, find an NGO, one of these organizations, give them all the money, tell them, go to this country and do their health care program for them. That NGO would then take about some percentage of that money for their overhead and administrative costs. And by the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence that was sort of imposed on them,

and only a percentage of the overall money. ever actually reached the patients and the people on the ground that we were trying to help because of these costs. This makes no sense. No. So why are we hiring American and international NGOs to go into other countries and run health care systems that are parallel and sometimes in conflict with the health care systems of the host country? If we're trying to help countries, help the country. Don't help the NGO to go in and find a new line of business. And so that's the model that we're breaking we're not doing this anymore we are not going to spend billions of dollars funding the NGO industrial complex while close and important partners like kenya are either have

no role to play i have very little influence over how health care money is being spent bottom line is if you want to help a country work with that country there goes a big network well that's this long overdue and it's going to take forever to really break it up we have a problem in the bay air We had a thing, this was in yesterday's news, I was going to clip it, I didn't, which was a news story about this little park over there by the, one of the San Francisco docks. It's supposed to be a kid's park. And the city put $3 million together to build the, they had the park all outlined that they put the playground up, three million bucks, gave it to an NGO. The NGO paid itself a bunch of salaries, didn't do anything. The money's all gone.

Yeah. Of course. And, of course, no, and they're all, we're investigating it. They're not going to do anything about it. These guys, these NGOs are just siphons for just stealing money. Good at it. We're so dumb. We should have had an NGO a long time ago.

I agree. I agree. It's probably still not too late. We're helping educate. We are here to educate people on news disinformation. Oh, yeah, that's great. Yeah, we should probably give some money to these guys. we're dumb.

Yeah, we're dumb. That's too bad. I mean, we're truthful, but we don't know, we do our, we do our, we're doing a good job of it.

And it's unfortunately, people don't appreciate it as much as they could. Let me ask you a question. That's because we're not pushing it hard enough. So there's still some, but I think it's mainly Europe and probably British NGOs, et cetera, active.

A little update on Bulgaria with the Gen Z, or as we'd like to say, Gen Z protests, we've had some success. Tens of thousands mass in the streets of Sofia, as they have done for the last few weeks and in several other Bulgarian cities. It's been a gradually growing movement driven by dissatisfaction with the government, accusations of corruption, economic grievances, and a demand for new. leadership. In common with similar protests in other countries, it's younger people, Gen Z, who are at the forefront with the demand for change. United under the slogan aimed at those in power, you angered the wrong generation. We truly hope our actions will lead to real change. What I can say with certainty is that we will not stop. We are prepared to continue with active protests, uniting students from across Bulgaria and the broad. I believe that corruption, the way we

keep on living and the money that's actually being stolen. That's the huge problem for us. And I truly hope that there will be some youthful energy boiling over. The growing anger and sheer strength of numbers appears to have brought about the resignation of the minority centre-right government, a move unanimously agreed by MPs. Therefore, I inform you that before the vote of no confidence, today the government resigns. The government's fall follows the scrapping of a controversial budget plan. It would have been the sixth vote of confidence since January and comes just 20 days before Bulgaria joins the euro in the new year. Uh-huh.

Right on time. And the new... That's a good one. Yeah, just before they're going to get in the euro. Yeah. And the new thing is pig noses. That's the new Gen Z thing. You know, like a carnival pig nose.

Yeah, you'll put a little pig nose on. Yeah, that's a new thing. If we see that here, we'll know what's up. And I just can't help but think that, you know, We're not doing it to ourselves yet. Well, we're not doing it to ourselves, but it's obvious that the Brits and are still trying to, it may be this whole potosphere denouncement scenario led by clearly British operatives, although I think Candace just doesn't even know.

Man, we both saw that interview with her husband, George Farmer, and I didn't clip any of it. But what, what a bunch of. horse manure that is oh yes i asked her to marry me after 17 days because she was just awesome yeah the whole it's a very we that should be linked in the show notes i actually put it in the show notes for that very reason yeah uh it should be watched by everybody but it's part of a five hour interview which i watched only could watch a little bit at the beginning and the five hour interview is actually more interesting if people can get to it it's on youtube five hours on, oh, man, they'd let you do anything.

So five hours of yak, yak, yak, yak, and it's just nothing but hate. Hate for America. Hate for America. The two of these two guys are mocking the way we pronounce words, and they, especially the word water.

They have a lot of, make a bunch of stuff. And they're laughing at Americanisms and laughing at what a dumb country we are and blah, blah. But this guy is at the center of British elites at the Bullington Club at Oxford, which is an all-male dining society with only, I mean, this is, so alums are David Cameron, Boris Johnson. Yeah, these are really,

these are good guys. He was politically active. You know, he started Turning Point UK with his own money. And then he winds up marrying Candace. And then she becomes an unwitting dupe operative. Yes. And right on cue, there's our buddy Tucker. He platforms Milo. Do you remember how Milo got in? Because, you know, Milo came, exploded, and then went. Yeah, I can't remember how he got canceled. It was during the era of the show. I think he was, so, yes, 2014, Gamergate, that's when he came in. That's when he came in.

Yeah, that's when he came. He was doing some stuff with Breitbart, I think, but he came in with Gamergate, branded himself. He was really, by the way, he came in, he was extremely talented. Yes. I thought he did his presentations were stunning. He was a good debater. He was a master debater. He is a major master debater.

and he did the dangerous campus tour to get everyone all riled up remember whatever wherever you went there were riots right that's before he called him so with change my mind yes yeah yeah no he was early on that and he started with the whole I'm the dangerous faggot

that was his his brand but then he he went rogue and he started talking about he started defending sexual relationships between men and boys as young as 13 and then he got pulled i mean they see pack can't it went off the rails and they pulled the plug on him simon and schuster canceled his book deal bright bart uh kicked him out um but then you know he started to come back

uh when you know this is classic you know he's like oh i'm ex gay now that's what he was on tucker for no i'm uh i'm ex-by-by-by-by-the-way did you know that he intern for Marjorie Taylor Green? No. Yeah. And he was the one. I didn't see the, I did not see the Tucker. I should, I guess I should watch the Tucker interview. Yes. He, but, he was the one that orchestrated the dinner with Kanye and Nick Fuentes at the, um, with Trump. That's the other way I understand it. Well, that's what he says. That's what he says. But, you know,

to me, he's just, you know, they just sent him in on a missile as a, as a heat-seeking missile. Go in there. You know, if their, if their goal is to... Who are they? The British. Okay. The city of London, the Crown, everybody who hates America. Right and spooked out by MI6.

Yes. What you do is you'd go after the biggest Gen Z organization in the world and blame it all on Israel. and we know that the Brits hate the Jews I mean I'm generalizing but they're the ones and say hey go live there we drew this circle

that's your spot now in 1948 and before that it was was it Rothschild didn't wasn't it was it Rothschild who set up who sent the letter the Balford Declaration

the Belford Declaration so you know there they're mucking around and everything. So we give us more background on what else he talked about on Tucker and what would you think the point of it was? To reintroduce him so that he could get on Tim Pool, then he can yell about everybody and just cause more confusion and keep the fire going.

Candace is starting to burn out. So you think he's going to go the rounds, the rounds, which we could almost identify Tim Pool, prouder perhaps? He already was on Tim Pool. He already did the whole Tim Pool thing. Oh, yeah. He'll be on Megan Kelly if he hasn't already. Ready? Let me see. Let's see. We can probably find out. Yes, he's, he's been saying to the

touring schedule. It's on mylos.com, you know, no, I'm sure he's got a touring schedule. It'd be the same old, same old podcast that everyone defends when we ever mention anything about him on our show. Oh, you're throwing bricks in the glass house. Oh, you're shooting inside the tent, man. That's the word. That's the phrase. No, no, no, no, no, this, I truly believe this is meant to destabilize Gen Z in our country. That's a different approach. But if you just look, okay, he's been on Candace in September. Legion of Skanks.

Oh, we got to be on that show. Legion of Skanks. Skank Fest in Las Vegas. Skank Fest? Yes, with Tim Poole and Stephen Crowder. some kind of live. Oh, Pierce Morgan. Hello. Another MI6 stooge, Pierce Morgan, and then Tucker Carlson. And now he's been, this is what I have so far. And then Tim Pool. It's all so obvious. Get these limies out of our country. Yeah. And these pilgrims. Get them all out.

Pilgrim Society. Look it up, everybody. Yeah. Tucker's a big, big shot in that thing. we're not we don't know that for sure but it could be we're pretty sure i'm i'm i've really researched i can't find it i can't find it but i do think we should be at skank fest next year i mean there's no reason why we can't be at skank fest too skank fest what is the point of it i have to look it up now what you're a skank which is a deplorable woman who is just kind of a worse than a slut. Let's find out. And you're going to have a convention of your own types.

What is that supposed to mean? Skank Fest, New Orleans is a three-day comedy festival described as a blend of Mardi Gras, punk rock shows, and comedy heaven. It features stand-up comedy, live podcasts, surprise guest appearances, tattoo artists, a vendor village and late-night events. So they're only using, it's not really for skanks. No.

It's just they've, they've co-opted the word. Yes. To make it into some sort of a dubious festival. It's kind of like the Edinburgh Festival in America. Skank Fest.

Sounds good. Skank Fest. Well, maybe we just miss the invitation in the email. I don't. think we missed anything. Nobody cares about us. They don't like us. No, because we shoot inside the tent, man. Let's talk about the Congo. Oh, Africa news. All right. Bye, everybody. Now, the only reason I want to play this, I have a series of Congo clips, but I want to play this clip

from the last, I didn't play on the last show plus another clip. I want to play first. The Congo humiliation clip is 23 seconds. Okay, here we go. The resumption of fighting in the East of the Democratic Republic of Congo has been described as a humiliation for President Trump by the Foreign Minister of neighboring Burundi. Rwandan-backed M-23 rebels have marched into the Congolese government's last Bastion in South Kivu province. The advance came less than a week after the U.S. brokered a peace deal. BBC News Yeah, this is a humiliation for Trump, according to the BBC.

Let's go to this other clip. This is Southeast SE Asia War. The U.S. President Donald Trump says he will telephone the leaders of Thailand and Cambodia to try to convince them to end the military clashes along their shared border that have continued for a third day. Mr. Trump helped broker a ceasefire between the two countries in July, but on Monday Thailand carried out airstrikes with Cambodia responding with rocket fire. Now, Southeast Asia correspondent Jonathan Head is on the border. Cambodian rocket launchers firing salvo after salvo into Thailand. The war President Trump said

he'd ended has fled up again. On the Thai side of the border, the rockets can be heard exploding, killing and injuring soldiers and ripping apart houses, which, thanks to a swift evacuation, are empty. Thai artillery can be heard constantly firing back in temporary evacuation centres all along the border in both countries. Hundreds of thousands of people have sought. safety for the second time in five months. The U.S. has urged the two governments to return to the ceasefire brokered by President Trump. Speaking to supporters, he sounded confident he could do it again.

Who else could say, I'm going to make a phone call and stop a war of two very powerful countries? Thailand and Cambodia, they're going at it again? He's no good. He's no good. So the BBC's going after Trump for being a... And if you listen to that, right in the middle of there, they said, the way they phrased it was the war president Trump. Yes. It's new.

The war president Trump tried to stop. But when you hear it just as a single standalone line is the war president. The war president Trump. Yes. Which I thought was genius in terms of propagandistic usage. Very good. But it was like the BBC has done this. And that was from like last, you know, a couple of days ago today.

they're, or not today, but yesterday, they're still hounding Trump for being a phony bologna can't really stop wars. And let's go play this clip, Congo, War I. It's been barely a week since Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo signed a peace accord with President Trump and Washington to end the fighting in eastern areas of the DRC. But it hasn't stopped the fighting. The United States has blamed the M23 militant group backed by Rwanda for, the violence. Now, Rwanda has accused the Congolese army of ignoring the ceasefire. I spoke

to our global affairs reporter, Richard Kagoi, in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, and I began by asking him where this latest bout of fighting has broken out. The fighting is taking place in eastern Congo, specifically in a region called South Kiva province, and so this is

the area that does border Tanzania and Burundis are separated by Leka, Tanganyika. And so what has happened is that the M23 rebel group has been advancing further into South Kivu province after taking over the biggest city which was called Bukavu, and now they have seized a second largest town where the Congolese government had its base called Ovirah. Richard, the two sides signed a peace accord a week ago, and now we have Rwanda and the DRC

blaming each other for this new bout of fighting. Yes. Yeah, it's just a typical of situations as they do evolve in this part in terms of this conflict. The DRC is arguing that it's protecting its territorial integrity. It wants to retake in a territory that it lost to the rebels. It says that it wants to protect its civilian population and stop the advance of the Rwandan-back rebels. It's really boring. But it's war. And it's Trump's fault. The war president. We all know it. He's the war president. Yeah.

It's, it's, we're under attack, man. Well, from the sounds of it, that's why I'm really listening to the BBC a lot more because they can pick up these subtle little, these needling that they keep doing. Well, let me.

They play it so straight. Oh, yeah, no, we're great. Well, let me stop you right there since we're at two hours and one minute. I'm glad you stopped yourself. Because I need to, thank you for your courage. and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in colorea.

Say a little to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeWare. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam C. DeVoreenorik. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Corrine, and Marrow, ships, sea, boost, the graph, feed, the air, subs, and the water, all the names are nice out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.

I can't get a troll count. I can't get an accurate troll count. This is the same thing you say every time. No, not every time. Oh, 1786. Thank you, Cotton Jin. That sucks. Well, you know what?

I'm about to stop counting the trolls. They just robbed me of my joy. Yeah, you've been bitching about this since before the show. Yeah, well, you know, it's, and it's all about you. I mean, they're saying horrible things about you, and I just don't like it. No, I'm glad you defend me. The real thing that happened here today, it's for people who don't listen to the pre-show, alive, is that Darren O'Neill, for the end of the show mix, you're going to hear it on today's show,

did a song called No Agenda Christmas, which is a fabulous AI-produced tune with the lyrics probably by Darren. Yes. And, but the song itself is just, it's a hit. It's a toe-tapper, too. And it's a toe-tapper, which is important. And it's a couple of people in the chat rooms. No, no, no, a hundred.

A hundred people in the chat room who hate Adam and they hate Darren and they hate the show, to be honest about it. They hate the show. They just haters. They don't donate. They hate the show. They're haters. And they bitched and moaned all at once, I guess. And Adam caught it and he got irked about it.

And he's been irked ever since. He's been irked. I have been irked because it's just, it's so annoying. I mean, why do you show up? Oh, I know why? Because I respond to it, obviously. you know, we're boomers, we're boring, you know, I think I just need to close. Well, that could be true, but it's beside the point.

It's good point there. Yeah, it's very good point. Oh, boy. Well, not everybody thinks we're boring. Some people see value in us. But I understand. I understand, you know, that change is hard. It's hard to hear that, you know, that we disagree with your favorite podcasts.

who you're all addicted to. Yeah, man. Yes. Yeah. So good. Wentis is right, man. Yeah, he's awesome. I like Fuentes' show.

Oh, yeah. You watch a bit of it here and there, don't you? I don't consistently do it. But when I do it, I've always enjoyed it. He is a, he is a, if it was a different media landscape, he would be on TV or locally at least at doing the uh locally well locally i mean but he could be networked he had he has the chops he never flubs he for a guy who's an amateur supposedly he doesn't flub he doesn't stammer he's he's slick he's got a good voice and you know and he's and his and his modulates well

and he's uh funny he's extremely funny and uh and i don't understand what the big complaining is Well, because he says Hitler was great, Stalin was great. He explains what he meant by that. Stalin thing in particular, I'm not going to sit here and defend Fuentes because other people are doing. You're doing it himself, but I'm going to do this. Yeah, doing a good job. He goes on, he thinks Stalin is great as a heroic, as a heroic figure that needs to be studied. He thinks, and he'll follow that by saying he was a horrible person, a sick, meant a deranged,

creep but that doesn't mean he was he should be ignored it in the scheme of things how does a guy like that manage a large country how did he do it and how do he stay in power so long that sort of thing is why he thinks he's great you are defending him that's great it's reasonable yes no i'm i'm not against him i'm not against anybody but he's part of the system well he has definitely locked in that and he's got a crush on candis and there's something to going on between those two, and I don't get that at all. So it's part of that our local podcast nexus. You got to call them a Fed.

You got to call them a Fed. I denounce you. You're a Fed, John C. DeVorek. That's the new thing. You got to call each other a Fed. Yeah. Oh, you just ooze Fed Slop. I watch too much of this, obviously.

Yeah, you're obvious. Yeah, you're on the off the deep end. No, I mean, but I'm telling you, people are watching this stuff. They're into it. Well, people that are doing the presentations are good at it. Candice is no slouch. Definitely not. She is a really good presenter and she does her, she does her act beautifully.

Okay. Fuente's the same thing. Okay. And Tucker is a pro. Yes. And, I mean, so you have all these professional, basically professional broadcasters. You wonder when they have a big audience. Well, except for that amateurish laugh.

I think it's abhorrent, really. I mean, it's just I don't like war. I don't like death. I just don't like it. I don't like it. And I don't like our president. You know, sending money to the country. You know, if you could get his voice down,

he has a, his register is higher than yours. Yeah. You have a natural baritone voice. He's close to a tenor. Yeah, I can't do it. And to do a tenor voice with a natural baritone voice, which you have. is not easy.

Case you hadn't noticed, the show doesn't end after two hours. People look into, oh, there's another hour left. What's going on? What did they do in there? Well, we do a couple of things. First, we thank people

who support us value for value. After we tell you that the best way to listen to this show is on a modern podcast app, that's how you get into this crazy troll room in the first place. Or by going to knowagendastream.com. And apologies for noagendashow.net.

I messed it up. It was the right show, but it was the wrong show notes and, you know, after three and a half hours, sometimes I make mistakes. So sorry that it was confusing to people, which is probably

why almost no one donated. It wasn't the newsletter's fault. It was my fault. I think if people, you know, there's a lot of people that will just listen on the website, which I always find interesting. It's like 18 or 19% of people who listen to the show, go to noagendashow.

net and listen there. How do you listen to the show? You don't listen to the show. When I listen to the show, I do it off the website. You do. It's all you. It's you and the Dvorak clan. Maybe.

So we have a number of ways you can support us. Value for Value is the methodology that we have employed now in our 19th year. And by the way, I have to mention something here. This is going to disappoint a lot of people, but I don't feel too bad about it, actually, today. For the first time, maybe the second time in our history, we will not be doing a broadcast on Christmas Day. What?

Yeah. We're going to be sending something out, so we are doing a broadcast. We are doing a broadcast, but I don't have any thematic show. So I'm reaching out to the producers who get incredible value from this program and get actual news and fund deconstruction of dumb media. to come up with an idea. And it's very easy to find stuff these days on Binget.io. You can find all kinds of cool.

Do we have nothing in the can? We got nothing in the can. No. I should probably produce a couple of things. Well, I mean, we've done so many themes. But I'll just say the reason why is my daughter is coming for Christmas and I would just like to spend this Christmas with my daughter. She's coming over from Rotterdam.

she's going to be with us for a week. And she wanted an old-fashioned, old-school American Christmas, which, let's face it, doesn't get much better than that in Fredericksburg, Texas. So I want to honor her. And therefore, I will not be in the show. You're doing the show. You can do the show if you want with your buddy Nick Fuentes, if you want to bring him in. That would be a good show.

It would be a good show. That would be a great show. I would resign just to hear that. So ideas are welcome, Adamatcurry.com. Don't email. You know, whenever people don't get a response from you on email, they just say, he's blocked me, even though it's not true. Have you noticed this? Yeah, I noticed it.

Yeah. They don't get a response and they email me. John black me, so I'm going to email you with my complaint about John. Stop it. Yeah. That's the idea. Hello. It's a bad idea.

It's a great idea. You can support us with your time, your talent, your treasure, which we appreciate all versions of it. Thank you to Steve, our clip collector, who's been just fantastic these last few Sundays. He starts rolling his recordings the minute all the Sunday shows come on. It's very much appreciated. We have, you know, people like Dave Ackerman, who gets me all the Euro news. I mean, it's really helpful. Very, very helpful what everybody does.

people organizing meetups. And of course, we have people making artwork. And they upload that at no agendaartgenerator.com so we can choose something fun for art. And even though we explained what we're looking for, it's still very difficult. I guess the LLMs just haven't figured out exactly what we need art-wise. However, Blue Acorn did a pretty good job with this ITM,

which was kind of the takeoff. I don't know if anyone else caught it, but the font wars, in a way, I think that's what it was. Isn't that how we took it? This is what he called it, I think. Oh, he actually called it the font wars? Yeah. Let me take a look.

But it was a, this is what we need. The piece popped, you know, it just popped out of the page. And when it pops like that, that makes you want to look closer if there are any fun details in there. And he did a good job. And let's see what else there was. let's see wow there's a lot of art today already um was there anything else we liked no but i'm liking geoffrey rays a santa cross merry christmas two coming up with instead of reindeer it's a bunch of babes yeah no i don't like that

we're not going to choose that yeah i'm sure you do go put it on yourself substack on the oasis. On the oasis. A lot of people tried to do font wars. Then there was some now available on Pornhub, which I was all for. You were against that. There were some people tried some dogs, some robot dogs. But in general, if you don't have a good idea, your art's not going to just, it's not going to work no matter how smart you think the AI is. It just it doesn't really translate. You need good ideas. Give someone a good idea. We already have like a whole page full of stuff for today.

Yeah, well, most of which we're not going to choose. Well, obviously, you can't only choose one piece. That's always true. No, but it's going to be hard. We're like, oh, there's really nothing here. No, there's, I think, at least ten pieces that are you. There's, there's where it is. Ten pieces?

Hmm. I think, well, okay, three, maybe one, maybe two. No, but three for sure. Four, if you let the girls pulling the sled. I'm not allowing that. The girl's pulling the sled. It's unfriendly to women. Anyway, we always thank all of our financial supporters,

the treasure of the three T's, and we thank everybody who comes in with $50 or above, and we appreciate any amount, any time, whenever you feel you've received value from the show, send it to us. That's the only way the show survives. And we start off today on a happy note, bringing my joy back from the Archduke of Central Florida in Winter Park, Florida. A Rubberlizer donation.

India, Tangall, Mike. Stand by 33, 33, 33, rubbleizer out. $3,333.3.3. Take that, trolls. And the Archduke of Central Florida says, Dear John and Adam, rubbleizer donation from the Archduke of Central Florida. I have been enjoying the North Sea nexus analysis over the past month and hope you keep a surprise of new happenings. Well, I think we've done that today. It is way more interesting than Africa news, John.

We did that too. Including coup belt stories. Also, help us understand all the elements of the Minnesota fraud issues. It is fascinating how little traction this has had in the media. As pointed out on this show numerous times today. Looking forward to seeing the challenge coin. No jingles, no karma. Five more years.

Well, if you keep supporting us this way, we might make it. Thank you, Archduke of Central Florida. We greatly appreciate your enormous support of the show. Yeah, that was a nice surprise. Fantastic. Moving on to Christopher Kessler in Marshfield, Wisconsin, who came in with a nice $543.21 cents. but he's got no note

that we could find anywhere and so we'll give him a double-up karma. But if you have a note, send it. Elizabeth Lambert is in Crown Point, Indiana, $500. Switcheroo for John Lambert. Oh, hold on a second. Let me switcheroo that. Make sure we get that in.

Let me go. Switcheroo for John Lambert in honor of his traveling around the sun for half a century on December 15th. We may not get to celebrate tomorrow if we get the 9-11 style attack, but hopefully we'll be okay. Is it tomorrow?

It's the first two weeks of December, so tomorrow is the last day. Oh, so it's got to happen by tomorrow. It's got to happen by close of business tomorrow. And she goes on to say, John, we love you very much, and this might finally get you to knighthood. Love always, Elizabeth,

and she has a pronunciation guide, Meran and Amelia. Elizabeth Maran and Amelia. Elizabeth Maran and Amelia. And you're on the list. Yeah. So that's the end of our executive producers. We go right to associates.

We got a lot of these today for some reason. Duke of San Francisco leads us off in San Francisco, obviously. He's in $277.33. And he says, the Ducca, San Francisco loves font geekery, which is the discussion we had in the last show about fonts. Yes. And he says, this is a Georgia.

He's a big fan of Georgia font, obviously. Georgia donation. And then he wants a chemtrails and a fluoride in your cup jingles. And there was another note I wanted to read that came in because we talk, because, you know, we take the font war seriously. Yeah. Yes. Potash. We received this from Matt, from Florida Lawn Solutions.

We have the best producers in the universe. And he knows a lot about potash. Because we didn't really know everything except a lot comes from Canada. He says there's a couple of different forms of potash you can buy. There's a myriad of potash, which is a potassium chloride and sulfate of potash. which is a potassium chloride and sulfate of potash, which is potassium sulfate. We use sulfate and the price went up over 35% from this year. Canada does produce some, but I think China and India produce more.

I checked and the myriad was about the same price. It's already a cheaper product anyway. This mostly comes from Canada. Because of the chlorine content, the myriad isn't good for fruit or vegetable plants, but it's okay for grasses, which includes rice. Aha. I think the rice likes the chloride anyway. Oh, yeah, my rice loves chloride. Some states

can produce potassium. I know Utah is able. Might not be enough to do icy anyway. I see. I'm not sure what that means. But like with a lot of things, regulations have pushed it offshore. Anyway, if they add a tariff on the myriad, it will hurt the grain farmers. Fruit and vegetables probably already have been paying

extra on the sulfate because most of it's coming from tariff places. And he says, Thanks for all you do. Please, more fertilizer talk. Well, I have a bonus clip and a double bonus clip right now because of that note. Okay. First of all, let's listen to this just a basic story about the Belarus prisoners, the BBC clip. Okay.

Belarus has released more than 120 prisoners, including the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Alias Biyayayatsky, and the prominent opposition activist Maria Kalyasnikov. It comes after the United States. agreed to lift sanctions on the country. Oh? It's not much to that, but let's listen to the PBS clip. We're lifting sanctions on the country as a dimension. Belarus freed more than 100 prisoners after the United States said it would lift sanctions

on the close ally of Russia. Among those pardoned by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko were two opposition leaders and Alice Bialyotsky, who shared the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier, U.S. Special Envoy John Cole said the United States would lift sanctions on pot-ash fertilizer, one of the nation's most important experts. Hey now!

Cole said improving U.S. Belarusian relations could lead to more prisoner releases. President Lukashako, who should get a tremendous amount of credit for this, I think that he is moving. He wants a more normalized relationship with

the United States and the West. We're moving in a that direction. Lukashenka's an authoritarian leader knowing for known for dealing harshly with dissidents. Western nations have sanctioned Belarus for cracking down on human rights and for letting right. It's like

they beat or they missed the point. Of the potash. Of the potash. So screw Canada. We can get our potash from Belarus by just making a phone call and say, hey, release a few people. You know, show a sign of support here. Give us

give us a break and now give is your potash. Yes, exactly. Screw you. Canada, they are so dumb up there. They really should become our 51st state. We'd be so great together. It's not going to happen.

John Seabert is up next. Is this a Bitcoin donation? Yeah, I guess so. Okay, 255 and 18 cents. And it's a switcheroo for Stephanie Seabert. Seems like they would be related. Let's see what he says. Thank you, Adam, John, for your unique perspective on the media.

So have you met Scott Adams? Oh, Scott. Yeah. There's a guy. He looks like Scott Adams. Dead ringer, only taller.

Wow. And every time I see him, I always say, hey, Scott Adams is here. Yeah. How is Scott Adams anyway? He's still, he's hanging in there a little bit. He seems to be, you had to go to the hospital the other day. You should give him another call, man. You should, you know, because when people...

He won't answer me anymore. He's mad at me for something I said about Vaxes or something. I'm not sure what. Are you sure he won't answer? I mean, he may have forgiven you. You'll regret it. Just give me... Well, I tried a couple of times.

I'll give him another call. Yeah, just, you know, because... I have his phone. I actually have his cell number very few people do. The problem with when you're sick is people think, oh, he probably doesn't want to be bothered. And then no one calls him. No, that doesn't, no, I've never been that way.

Does it sound familiar to you? No, it does not sound familiar at all. 236. John and Adam, Friday, December 12th was my 36 birthday, so sending over my annual, oh, I guess he does it once a year. So sending over my annual birthday donation. everything that you do, particularly when I'm struggling through a hangover or feeling lonely. We are your friends when you're lonely. When you're lonely, we're your buddies.

Given all the support that you guys provide, I was thinking maybe John can expand on his tip of the day to not just push products, emphasis mine, but also provide general life advice that Gen Wise, like me, actually do value from the boomers. I'm thinking anything from hangover cures, ways to develop thicker skin. I'm looking at you, Adam, and your ability to disregard all the hate you get on the socials, dealing with rejection, tax tips, et cetera. Hmm. Well, that should be, that's just, we do that commonly during the show, almost every show,

we have some sort of life tip. I don't think it's life pushing product. I admire that he's noticing that this, we're, but I've always liked. pushing product. You push product like nobody else. Even though it doesn't benefit the show in any way. We don't have a good code for it.

We don't make any money from it. It's just pure moving product for the sake of moving product. Requesting a 36 birthday call out, you are on the list. Love karma and a mac and cheese jingle. You slaves can get used to mac and cheese. Maconee and cheese.

Macaroni and cheese. Chatter melted together. Cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese. You've got karma. Barbara Coons is up next, KU H-N-S in East Lake, Ohio at 201769. She writes, A friend hit me in the mouth last year, and you've been entertaining me on my commute. Aha, ever since.

I appreciate the insight and laughs. I have a Switcheroo, another Switcheroo, the Switcheroo, the Switcheroo, Switcheroo Sunday. Yes. I have a switcheroo. Please accept this donation on behalf of Tony Pachiro's 56th birthday on December 17th and D-Dooch Us. You've been D-Dooched. $2 Tony is impossible to shop for.

What a great nickname. That's a good nickname, $2.000. Hey, $2 Tony's here. But the one thing he definitely does not have is an IMDB entry. Thank you for your courage and making me the best girlfriend ever. Ah, all right. She's the best girlfriend ever. She gave him an IMDB entry.

That's right. That's something to think about. Ladies. There's Eli the Coffee. It is a great stocking stuffer. Eli, the coffee guy from Bensonville, Illinois, 212, 14. And he says, this holiday seat, by the way, I think we didn't we get a note, I thought I, we got a note from the little John's candy folks.

Let me see. Yes, he said, I'm little late in getting you a note for my donation. My donations and promotion are tended to work something like this. Sometimes I'm not always clear. I'm donating 233.33 plus fees, which equals 242 for each show during the month of December. The promotion is to save 10% and donate 10% in the purchase of name. So on December 28th, after the. promotion ends, I will send you a check for the total and a spreadsheet with all the

producers' names and the dollars they donated. It sounds like work. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, I don't think you need to do all that much work. That's actually, well, you know, they, they, actually, it's reflected in the quality of their products. It is.

So Eli always sends $200 plus the today's date, the show date, 1214. And he says, the holiday season is a good reminder to take. stock and express gratitude for the little things in life that fill us with joy and the people who compose the fabric of our lives. Thank you, Adam and John, and all those in Gitmo Nation. We're grateful for the support, the kind notes, and the simple fact that people seem to really like Gigawatt. So give someone in your life the gift of good coffee today, especially with today, December 14th,

being the last day of our sampler pack sale. The sampler is a great way to... These people. Wow, I never saw that coming. The sampler is a great way to experience a wide variety of freshly roasted coffee. If it ends up under the tree, great. If it ends up in your mug, also, even better. Plus, I hear our coffee goes great with little John's candies at chocolates.

Visit. Why you're doing your resume. Yes, right. And ordering some earrings from the Arcana, Arcane, Arcana, resin people. Visit gigawak coffee roasters.com before the sale ends. Get a sampler pack today. Stay caffeinated.

It says Eli the coffee guy. And while you're doing that, let's exfoliate. Yes, with La Jolla Salt Corporation. La Jolla, California, $210.60. You know, you're exploring. You know what it is? At least it's better than having to say, you know, I've always wondered, should I try exfoliating?

And it wasn't until I came across this La Hoya Salt Corporation. Huh. And my skin is just so smooth. Tell me more. My skin is just so smooth now. I don't have any scales or anything like that. Any dead skin falling off. I am just a great man.

Thank you, La Jolla Salt Corporation. So they write in, this holiday season is here bringing with it fond memories of your chestnuts of fire. No, they're not good. You know, no, no. They're roasting, not a fire. They're roasting. They're not burning. Jeez.

especially when they're not too long, and it's so obvious what you're doing. We love that. We love everybody who supports the show, value for value. You can do that at any amount, any time you want to. It'll be thanking $50 in above in our second segment. And once again, thank you for supporting us. Go to no agenda donations.com to support the No Agenda Show.

Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth. And a reminder that these executive and associate executive producers all are eligible to put their names in the hall of credits at IMDB.com because you are now officially an executive or an associate executive producer of the No Agenda show. let's see let me start off with a TikTok clip this is a woman who is only they're all women when's the last time you play oh you do you have played a guy yeah I have played a guy but it's mostly women and this to me is a reflection of either I don't know what level of stupidity this is this is a woman who uh it's your lack of education

or someone who doesn't understand the mechanism of government or the mechanism of society is just baffling to listen to this woman rant about immigration. Can someone smarter than me help me very genuinely understand why I'm supposed to care if people immigrate to the U.S. illegally? Like, obviously some people are just racist and some people are just stupid. But even, like, left-leaning people say, you know, well, you've got to do something about the border. why could i don't understand why this should bother me in any way if as many people as want to come here um so if somebody could help me understand that that would be great because right now

i just don't know why i should give a shit i don't i found this a i found it to be a very fascinating commentary because it's like yes because how does anyone get to that position where you don't understand that the burden on society on the taxpayer on the on the infrastructure and all the rest of it you know if you're just going to have on unfettered immigration from everywhere in the world and police issues and all the rest of it and you don't see it as she's this is bull crap she understands it she just wants like these people and you have a different this is the difference between you and me in regards the same thing with Tucker the way we see him it's a different look you

think everyone is cynical and they're all acting no i think that they want to get played on the no agenda show or they want to get likes that's it that's it's it's what it's all about did these people thrive on people telling them you're an idiot there are people like that who can thrive on that oh you're an idiot you got you were bummed out when somebody said that they didn't like a Darren o'neill clip yeah but i'm in doing it for over 18 years, so I must be liking something. But you got thick skin according to that one note.

Yeah, there it is. You need to give some tips. Hey, we have the AI. I already gave it away. We have the Time person of the year, persons of the year. Which is Time Magazine still a magazine?

I think it's just only online. Well, they've chosen their persons. The six men and two women on the cover of Time Magazine are who they have dubbed the Architects of Artificial Intelligence and their Person of the Year. Among those on the beam are met as Mark Zuckerberg, AMD chief Lisa Sue, Open AI's Sam Altman and Chipmaker Invidias, Jensen Huang.

We named the architects of AI as the person of the year this year because we were really looking at the people who had the biggest influence on this year. According to the magazine, those people have reoriented government policy and altered geopolitical rivalries and become an everyday tool for millions. Today, OpenAI's chat GPT counts over 800 million daily users.

Its competitor, Google Gemini, boasts 650 million. Time also pointed to a darker side of AI. In light of looming job displacement for companies looking to replace their workers, and darker still, lawsuits have been filed in the wake of suicides and mental health crises, alleging chatbot psychosis. Experts are also wary of just how the tool will affect humanity. and if it will affect all of us equally. This technology has a great potential to make things more efficient, more productive, to improve living conditions.

The question is, will it do so on an equal basis? Will it do so for everybody? And right now we see cleavages opening up, be it between superpowers, or be it between family members, or be it between people on the countryside and in big cities. The magazine has named a person of the year since 1927, but this is not the first time technology took the title. In 1982, it was the computer. The computer. The computer was the person of the year.

There was a great post by this guy named Peter Gernus, G-I-R-N-U-S on X. And I saw it the first time I came around like, but then it kept coming back. And so I wanted to read this. And this may be bull crap, but it sounds plausible. And it's about him deploying AI in his corporation. I'll read it. Last quarter, I rolled out Microsoft co-pilot to 4,000 employees, $30 per seat per month, $1.4 million annually. Had you seen this?

I called it digital transformation. The board loved that phrase. They approved it in 11 minutes. No one asked what it would actually do, including me. I told everyone 10% product 10x productivity. That's not a real. He says that's not a real number, but it sounds like one. H.R. asks how we would measure 10x. I said, we'd leverage analytics dashboards. They stopped asking.

Three months later, I checked the usage reports. Forty-seven people had opened it. Twelve had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus, the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a pilot success. Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed to McGrath. The graph went up and to the right. It measured AI enablement. I made that up. He nodded approvingly. We are AI enabled now. I don't know what that means, but it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or chat GPT. I said we needed enterprise grade security. He asked what that meant. I said compliance. He asked which compliance. I said all of them. He looked skeptical. I asked him for a career development conversation.

He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we, quote, saved 40,000 hours. I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website.

Global Enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with co-pilot. The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used co-pilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction. I wrote that policy.

The license renews next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we will drive adoption. Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what co-pilot does, but I know what it's for. It's for showing we're investing in AI.

Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is, as long as the graph goes up and to the right. Yeah. That is a wonderful little mini essay. I thought it was good.

The guys... Yeah, no, that was really funny. And it's classic. Yeah. And it's accurate. Yeah, completely accurate. Yes. And so then we get this executive order the other day.

President Trump says the AI industry can't excel under a patchwork of state regulations. We have the big investment coming. But if they had to get 50 different approvals from 50 different states, you can forget it because it's not possible to do. He says one uniform federal framework would help the U.S. win the AI arms race. That's the goal of an executive order signed Thursday. Not doing this would be the greatest gift to China and other countries. The order also creates a litigation task force to challenge state AI laws, excluding those related to child safety protections. I don't think states should have the ability to regulate an AI.

Indiana Republican Congressman Marlon Stutzman supports the order. That way we put America at the forefront and leading on that issue rather than being divided amongst ourselves. But limiting states when it comes to AI hasn't. proven popular in Congress. A measure that would have banned states from regulating AI for 10 years was removed from the Big Beautiful bill over the summer. In recent efforts to include a provision, barring states from regulating AI in the annual defense spending bill failed too. We took that provision out. I think it's pandering to AI companies. Virginia Democratic Congressman Eugene Vindman says Congress does need to regulate AI, but disagree with the executive order.

I need to find a balance for appropriate regulation for this industry. Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffrey, says he doesn't think the order is legal. And ultimately, it's going to get struck down in court. The order also threatens to restrict certain funding to states with AI laws. I'm against all this. Isn't this the whole point of states' rights that we should be able to determine our own destiny? I'm all for it. I think having states being allowed to create dipshit laws over technology items,

it just becomes all of a sudden now you've got to go through California because California has some restriction. So now everybody has to obey what California wants because of the Internet and everything goes through California. No, I'm all for it. They've got to stop some of these states from doing this. I don't care about it. I mean, states rights, yeah, for when it has to do with rights,

not when it has to do with something like this. I'm all for it. I like the term dipshit laws. You should be in Congress. That would have shut them down. Now, here's the good news. Good news is that they have not been able to crack AI podcasts. And this cropped up, or this propped up, popped up in a report here from the semaphore.

The Washington Post's top standards editor on Thursday decried frustrating errors in its new AI-generated personalized podcasts, whose launch had been met with distress by its journalists. I guess the post has been rolling out personalized AI-generated podcast for users. I don't even know what that means. So in the release, the paper says users are able to choose preferred topics and which host, AI host, and you can shape your own briefings, select topics, set length, pick their hosts, and soon even ask questions using Ask the Post-A.I.

Technology. But it doesn't work? No, of course. What? Of course not. It doesn't work? You know, we have a real, I got to ask you some advice.

So we have deemed, we have, we have come up with nomenclature. There are now so-called TTS podcasts. What? It's TTS, text to speech. Oh, okay. And so they'll be like a podcast of a Reddit thread,

which is all read by AI. And it's, I mean, I don't know if you could even listen to it. I mean, some people might. The problem is there are these text to speech outfits who will create a podcast and within one day it has 2,000 episodes. episodes and 2,000 episodes, you know, it's a problem for the podcast index. You know, we're a small operation based on donations, I might add. And so, you know, it clogs up the system.

It slows everything down. And there are people just out there just, it's basically spam. But. Can't you just do spam elimination and not allow those to get on the index at all? Well, you can, but that's kind of the question. Like, is it, is it really spam? Is it something that people want? Nobody wants it.

I don't think so either. No, you have to, you can't let this. This is like, um, there's, I'm trying to think of how to analogize it. But there's something that you can, there's, I think you have a rationale that you can develop because it's out there to say, no, you can't do this. This is not, doesn't go any. We can say it. I mean, we're just kind of thinking, what, what should we do?

No, that's what I'm saying. You have to develop the argument that's solid. Yeah. But I would say it's like spam. It's like, you remember in the early days of Usenet. Yes, I remember the early days of Usenet. And every time somebody came in with some advertisement, they try to slip on the Usenet, they'd get blasted and thrown off.

I remember the first time I came into Usenet. and I don't remember what I posted, but immediately, oh, there's corporations here, MTV. Oh, this is the end of the Internet. That's right. And they weren't wrong. And that's where that guy's voice came from. And they weren't wrong.

No, they weren't wrong. They were right all along. They had a point. They had a point. By the way, there's been a lot, you know, we had that clip on the last show about Instacart and grocery prices. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos from consumer reports and other consumer organizations. Man, there are big companies of which Instacart is really a, yeah, they deliver to you,

but that's not really what they do. They are doing dynamic pricing on everybody based upon what they think you can pay, even in store with the, you know, with the, what do you call it, the digital pricing? pricing price tags that so you don't really have a price tag on the product but it says on the shelf it'll change it's like okay this is now $4.99 and then you know you take it in and scan the barcode and it's $4.99 someone else would be paying $4 or you know like $4.30 and I know nothing I've never seen any evidence of this. Oh it's I'll send you one of these videos I mean Is it happening in any store near you?

Oh, it's happening in every single store. Every single. Yes. And so they put like 20 people in a room and they all order directly from a store, not through Instacart. And even those people all got different prices. It's kind of, in a way, it's what Uber has been doing for a while. You know, we'll just charge you whatever you think you're willing to pay. But they're doing with groceries.

well that's not going to fly well it's been flying apparently for quite a few years but when you look at the price of groceries it's not necessarily based the point is you're saying that the whole system is turning into a bait and switch operation it's because that's what this is it's anti-competitive because they they are all doing it so all the grocery stores are using the system so instead of competing with each other based upon price and service and quality of product, they're all, they're all kind of using the same systems to just charge whatever they can. So it's anti-competitive. We have grocery store executives that listen to this show and they will, they will respond to this and explain it to us what's going on. Anonymity always assured. Of course, yeah, unless they want credit. Unless they want to lose their job. Not necessarily. And then the latest, here it comes, you're going to be paying more for your AI. It's it's going to happen because when these guys jump in, it's all over. Well, this is definitely an earthquake in the entertainment industry here in Hollywood.

This is a three-year licensing deal between the Walt Disney Company and Open AI. Users will be able to create short clips up to 30 seconds in duration using SORA, which is Open AI's video generation platform. And those clips will feature more than 200 characters from the Disney universe, from the Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universe. That obviously covers everything from Mickey Mouse to El. from Frozen to Iron Man, Captain America, and Darth Vader. Disney is also making a $1 billion equity investment into Open AI.

That will allow them to create more content for Disney Plus, create new services and tools, and also make some changes internally rolling out chat GPT for employees of Disney. Now, what this deal includes is perhaps just as important as what it doesn't include. The deal actually does end up excluding actor-likeness. and voices. So essentially those users using that platform will not be able to use actual faces and voices of human actors. If you think back to that historically long actors and writers strike back in 2023, that was a major, major concern for Hollywood at the time. Oh, no. These actors will all be licensing their likeness and their voice. Yeah, it won't take long. Yeah, and then they'll be, they'll get

Spotify and they think they're making a lot of money. The next thing you know they'll be getting pennies on you know, pennies out of the blue. They'll get a little check. Not that kind of checks Brunetti gets, but checks for five bucks. I mean, Brunetti, the guy who never donates, who takes you out to dinner

and calls that a value-for-value donation? That guy? I think it's legit. Who says he's listening to the show, but then claims that we didn't talk about the Golden Globes? That Brunetti? That guy?

Yeah, your buddy. The guy who single-handedly put Netflix on the map with the House of Cards? Yeah, he's actually probably be pretty responsible for Netflix. He is. They should have given them some bunch of free stock. Yeah, free, please. Brunetti, you just think he's not a fan of Netflix.

He's just using you. He's just using you. For what? For clout. Wow, that's the best you could do. I'm going to show my food by donuts to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do us. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

on no agenda in the morning. Yeah, we do have a few people to thank who gave us $50 and above, but less than 200 so they don't get their associate executive producer or executive producer credit. And Adam will read the list. Yes, I just need to set everything up here because we start off with, hold on a second, where am I? There's my spreadsheet.

We start off with Sir Mark Bendikowski in Poland. Oh, that's nice. Curva. One, two, three, four, five. He says, great job. I love you guys. Oh, well, that's very nice. Thank you, Sir Mark.

John Whedon, 105, 35. Dave at noagendafund.com. He has an important message with $100 donation. He says, here's $100 from David, noagendafund.com. We contribute. They also put the tip of the day on noagenda fund.com. But he says, we notice we haven't been mentioned. and our traffic has fallen.

I mentioned them on the last show. Well, we're going to, I'm going to, because I usually say tip of the day.net, but I'll add noagenda fun.com, of course. No Agenda Fund has all of our stuff there. And no agenda fun has like, they have the tip of the day, but they also have, if you out of the blue, say, I saw this movie, I really liked it. They put that in there. Yeah, they have our books.

Do they have Little John's candies on there? Because, man, I love that stuff. I don't know if they do. They should. Anyway, yeah, no agenda fund. It's a good site. I use that's the side I use

to make sure I'm not double tipping. Ash in Texas, $100. Huge fan of font talk. Yeah, God bless you both. Thank you, Ash. Brian Bollinger, Sacramento, California, $100.

Jared Pfaffenbach. Well, there you go. Oh, he's a ham. ITM. Kilo Fox Zero Papa Golf Sierra. Hey, by the way, I got to notice. I got to renew my ham license. Yeah, some guy's got a scam going on. He's like, renew through us for $80, we'll do all the work.

It costs like $10 to renew? I think it's more than that. I think it's more like, I can't remember. It's 25 maybe, but it's very easy to do yourself. Yeah, you just go on the website. Yeah, boom. Made it sound very complicated. Paul Webb and Twickenham.

There you go, 69, 69. Good that we still have a UK listener who's alive. I'm not in jail. Chad Hewitt, Folsom, California, $66.40. Stephen Shoemaker, usually it's Schumuck.

We didn't get a recorded report from the Great Rochester, Minnesota Big Pharma City Meetup, so they sent in a little written report, which I will share here.

Greetings from the Frozen Tundra of Minnesota this past Thursday. We had 10 producers attending the meetup in Rochester. The location was the Little Thistle Brewery. The meetup court consisted of a landman, a plumber, an electrician who was also a ham operator, three keepers, a dame that had to leave early for a PTA school meeting, and myself, a longstanding night, Sir Knight of the East Side, a douchebag committed to correcting his status and discussed the value of the show for he and his family, which had five human resources.

A first time were asked, what is the purpose of the show? show. And it's 18 plus years' existence. All in all, a great evening of discussion. A final topic was a follow-up to JCD's newsletter and prop bets. It seems that four more years prop bet on the show may be the fixed category he mentioned, the final V4V support for the show. Yes, that's a good prop bet. Will we actually quit in four more years? That is a good prop bet. That's right. But unfortunately, they don't like to stretch the bets out that long because the company is doing the betting and the gaming, you usually go out of business by them.

Just like the lottery guys. Hey, there is a meetup taking place today. It's the Indy N.A. tail end of 25 Trumply terrific meetup. It's underway now at the Blind Owl Brewery in Indianapolis, Indiana. Of course, that is Dame Maria and's Remark of the Greenwood. And see, nothing. Oh, yeah, next Thursday, we have Charlotte's Thursday, Thursday monthly, 7 o'clock. Ed's Tavern, Charlotte, North Carolina.

and coming up for the rest of this month, Anaheim, California on the 20th. That sounds like a Leo Bravo deal on the 23rd. Curr Delane, Idaho, Clovis, California, 26, Fort Wayne, Indiana on the 27th, and Evanville, Indiana on the 30th of December. Go to no agenda meetups.com.

If you can't find one near you, start one. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days. You want to be where you won't be. Triggered or hell's lame. You want to be where everybody feels the same. It's like a party. And we still have John's tip of the day coming up. We do have some great end of show mixes, including that coveted toe-tapper from Baron Darren O'Neill.

who was just on fire with the prompting. But before we do that, we always have a couple of ISOs. Do you have no ISOs today? I have no ISOs. I dropped the ball. Wow, I win. Let's see what I win. I only have two.

They know what they're doing. They know what they're doing? I like that. MK Ultra 2.0. No. They know what they're doing. Yeah. And you know who that is.

Can you tell who that is? Well, it's played again. I do know who it is. They're doing. Hold on. They know what they're doing. You can hear at the end. Classic voice, movie actor.

They know what they're doing. Doing. Yeah, I can't. I can see his face, but I can't get his name. That's too bad. I'm not going to tell you. But it is now time for John's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me.

Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes at all. I are going to go back to Boo's recommendations. Oh, how about a life tip like our GenWire? I don't have any life tips, except that you're stealing from the audience by not telling us who did that clip. Oh, you want me to tell you? I can tell you. Yeah, who?

Bert Reynolds. Oh, huh. Yeah. Okay, so this is a screwball when you got to listen carefully because this is a, I consider this to be a secret. because the quality of this product is generally terrible. And unless you are clued in one way or another, you will never drink this stuff. It's called Grapa. Who hasn't had Grapa?

A lot of people have had Grapa. I've had plenty of Grapa, and I'll give you the story. So I've been, you know, I was probably in the late 80s, maybe the early, for the late 80s. I was in New York, I was going to, I think it was called City Hall. It was a famous restaurant at the time. And we had a somelier, and I always get along with somiers because they, you know, they size you up. If they figure you know what you're doing, they give you a, I think you're okay. And so, and they give you the good wine.

And so at the end of the meal, and the guy was French, he's a French sommier, so that added a little impact to this. He says, what do you, you like to, after your dinner stuff? I said, yeah, I'm a coniac guy. guy. So you, oh, you like cognac. He says, and he's French, he says, do you ever have Grappa? And I said, yeah, I've had Grappa. It's, everyone's had

Grappa. It's terrible. Because most Grappa is terrible. Most Grappa tastes like toilet water. Or caracine or fusel or turpentine. Depends. Yeah. He says, oh, really?

He says, well, I've got a grappa here that I want you to try. And if you don't like it you can just give it back you want to pay for it uh that's a deal it's always a deal of course then he caught me on the thing anyway but uh so he brings out this grapah it was fabulous and so then i realized that i that grapah has a protective layer of lousy grapah that keeps people from getting to the good stuff because they make so little of the good stuff they don't need a run on it like scotch and the prices go to five hundred dollars a bottle for a 15 year old you know product it's a protection racket it's Italian and so uh it took me a minute yes yes of course protection rocket gotcha

and so uh I have a couple of grapple brands that are universally good and one in particular which is always gets 98 or 100 points everybody around the country you'll be able to find it if you dig around enough if you can't you're not going to get it at Costco but this But we had it last night, or the night before on Friday night, we had it with the family. And we all of us, all we could do was just talk about this. Marvel. Marvel over the Grappa. It was unbelievable.

It's a, Grappa, when you have a good one, it is a phenomenal product. And it's hard to explain it unless you had a good one. But you have a good one. It's just so good. It's made from garbage, basically. Yeah. And it takes a super skill to make it. Jacopo Poli, J-A-C-O-P-O-P-O-L-I, Poli.

This guy's Grappa is always getting 98 or 100 points by all the tasters. Killer, killer, Grappa. If you go right to that, you'll never drink the junk again. Now, I have a backup brand, which is good, but it's not up to this. This is ridiculously good. But a backup brand is Lorenzo Inga. You'll find this pretty commonly. And Lorenzo Inga, they make a line of Grappas based on various areas where they get the leftover stuff to make it with.

That is a very good tip. I have a comment and a request. Two comments. First of all, I need to tell you that last night we took our final Bordeaux from the Costco crate to the dinner. And people were just like, wow, this is so good. You're talking about the Bordeaux, 22, 22, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah. Second, last year when Tina and I were in Florence, because we were visiting Willow for Christmas, there was this little restaurant that we went in, the first night or the second night we arrived.

Nobody was in the restaurant, completely empty. It's one of those small deals in the side street. So we go in, we sit in the back, we're all lovey-dovey, we're in Florence, it's beautiful, the lights, and not a lot of tourists because it was cold. And the owner, young guy, he had bought the place with, just opened a couple weeks, bought the place with four, with, you know, four friends. And so, you know, we're having the meal. It's nice.

And he said, can I give you some grapa for dessert? And I'm thinking, garbage. Just like you said. But, you know, I wanted the kid to feel good about his purchase and there's no one in there. It's just, yeah, bring him the grapa. Same experience. Fantastic. He said, his dad makes it in the bathtub.

I said, with your dad in it? No. But it was, there is good Grappa. I completely agree. I'm going to try some of this. Well, if you can get to this, this one brand, this Poli stuff, is so outrageous that it'll stop the meal. It just stops, it stops the show. It's a show stopper.

Now, request, because it is the C. I don't know if you're going to recommend brands or a recipe. I would love for you to do eggnog on the next show. Eggnog, I can do eggnog. There's an egg. We have an eggnog issue at the family, family level eggnog issue. Do you have too many eggs? You can't even make eggnog?

Oh, we got plenty of eggs. Yes, you're right. We can use one of those recipes. But my wife has a recipe for egg nut. she insists on making it, and it's from her dad. Oh, family heirloom. It has to be a room. It has to be that one.

It's an heirloom recipe that is bull crap. It's a bull crap. I'm telling you, I say it to her, too. This is nuts. No, no, this is the way you have to do it. And so, uh, well, we don't want the bull crap. We want the best. We want, we want the, we want the premo stuff, man.

Bring your eggnog recipe. Everybody's ready for it. And that is your tease. And that is your tees. And that is your tees. Tip of the Day, noagenda fun.com. Tip of the day.com. Great advice for you and me.

Just to tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnettie. Yeah, it's an Easter egg to see if Mimi actually listens to the show. And we'll find out. She does listen, but she sometimes fades by the time the show gets at this point. I think a lot of people fade. Like, well, they're missing out because they're going to miss out in one of the greatest

end of show mixes. songs that's been developed for this show. It is a stutter. We have to play it again next show. We will. And before we get to Baron Darren O'Neill's No Agenda Christmas, we have MVP, followed by MLOD. And once we're done with that, the No agenda stream continues with random thoughts, and they'll be doing Suno songs on the show. So more AI slop than a pig would love. It's all here for you. And I am coming. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill country, where we're waiting for the multi-city attacks from ISIS. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. Yeah, I'm from Northern Silicon Valley. I'm John C. DeVorek.

We'll be back on Thursday. Please join us then for the eggnog recipe. And probably some other media deconstruction you won't get anywhere else. Stay informed and support us, value for value, by going to no agenda donations.com until Thursday, Adios, Moe Fos! Hooie, hooey, and such. Basically, we've wasted too much time on this. Yeah, already, especially my analysis.

I don't think anybody cares. Oh, the documents we've seen, the reports we've filed the sheer audacity of some people's defaults. Gather around, general producer, and hear a tale of two tight faces locked in an eternally passive-aggressive office war. Now the Department of War, they need their letters bold and fast. When calculating the ordnance at the enemy amassed, but Pete Hexert took the podium looking firm and grave and tall, he said, if a troop must read a brief, the serif must stand for old. We need tradition, structure, class, not this bubbly rounded thing. Give me time to Roman boys for the rhythm that it brings. When efficiency is crucial

When you're planning the attack Calibri's casual nature Gives the mission a feedback hack The generals cried in protest Sir, this slows the battle down We need to answer if precision To annihilate entire town Oh, it's the Times

Versus Calibri A battle on the page A petty pixelated war Across the modern age We're wasting precious minute picking which one is the worst while the actual rhythm of the battle is completely cursed it's just the shape of letters friends yet we will never cease to fight a document formatting war that kills all hope of peace people have to realize this you see these

demos, they are all fake. The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI. As technologies advance, so do our adversaries. But here at the Ward Department, we are not sitting idly by. They are all fake. Under the leadership of President Trump, America will leave the charge on this technical Transmological Transformation by revolutionizing the way we win. Hands up, China Man, I'm formatting a document.
