They were blocked out in Berlin. They're freezing to death. Adam Curry. John C. DeVore Act. It's Thursday, January 8th, 2026. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1832. This is no agenda. Monitoring the mayhem.

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 congratulating Montana State and also the Iranian people. I'm John C. DeVorek. It's Craigbott and Bosgill. Yeah, I love that.

Just throwing a sports thing. The North Sea Nexus quad screen is broadcasting Minnesota 24-7, including the BBC. They have not stopped. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They got their marching orders from Schumer.

Oh, man. I had, where is, I had this one clip, which really says it all just in the intro. Now to the protests in Minneapolis and across the country after an immigration agent shot and killed a woman on the street, just blocks away from where George Floyd was killed in 2020. That's all. That's all you need to know. It was a mile away. It was a complete mile, not a couple of blocks. It's all, but it doesn't even matter.

That's what this is. This is the, it's like a fractal. it is a fractal in an odd way as long as as walls is governor they're going to let it riot let them riot let them burn the tires his wife can smell that's burning a rubber through the window it is and it's so interesting that this came right on the heels of waltz dropping out of uh of the race like how happy must he be about that where he can he can leave you know a a man of the people A hero. A hero. So this thing, the whole thing is sad.

The whole thing is nasty and sad. But context is everything. And your media is not giving you context. They're not showing you the people assaulting these ice agent. Well, assaulting with snowballs. You know, they're showing you one angle. It's like, and also this ice agent, you know, if someone's trying to run me down with the car,

I might pull my weapon too. I'm sure he's not feeling great either. Well, he got hit too. Yeah, he did. Oh, yeah. No, you could see it. But, you know, then to, you know, triple tap. I mean, it's hard to say what you do in a moment like that.

But I can. Oh, yeah. Every time you see these cops shooting, they unload the gun if they can. Well, I think it's one, two, three. That seems to be kind of the training. It's like, it kicks in. Do, do, do. And that's what he did.

What was interesting, the story that hasn't, I don't think, has been told yet, is that this woman, wait, what's her name? Good. No, you have to say her name. Call her name! It is exactly the George Floyd stuff. It's a carbon copy, although it's not a man, it's a woman, and it's a, and she was white. but her wife I don't think this was told yet

her wife is the one who told her wife is the one who told her to come down and lead this protest and she was she was leading the protest blocking ice it's like

well here I have the clip that explains some of that this is from Jesse Waters he didn't have any trouble saying she was a lesbian mm-hmm where is it on here

Minnesota shooting I don't see it woman backgrounder yeah there it is Christy Noam who is in Minneapolis today overseeing operations is describing it as an act of domestic

terrorism multiple eyewitnesses have confirmed that this activist was screaming yelling, disrupting ice operations all day one witness says she was the main car leading the protest I know think she was the target

I don't know if she was a target. They clearly wanted her out of there because she was the main car leading the protest, is my understanding. I talked to another guy who was driving behind her. But she was very successful in blocking traffic. She was doing what she was set out to do. And so they wanted to get her the hell out of there. The woman who lost her life was a self-proclaimed poet from Colorado. with pronouns in her bio.

A 37-year-old white woman named Renee Good. The Daily Mail says she leaves behind a lesbian partner and a child from a previous marriage. She was a disruptor, though she considered herself a legal observer, but there's no evidence she had a law degree. Different angles show different things. You can see here the officer was actually hit by the car. Yeah, even the angle, that's, I mean, if you don't have the context, than of what he just said, that that was good context.

She was leading it the whole day. When did people become so emboldened? And Chicago does this too, that they think they can just assault ICE officers. How does that happen? And what world do you think that that can't turn out bad? This was discussed in a couple of different, by a couple of different people claiming that this only takes place. This never happens in an area where you don't have political cover,

where it's encouraged by the governor in this case. And Minnesota encourages it. They say, get to put your body on the line. Really? Really? Yeah. Wow. Do you have any clips of that?

I'd love to have that. Well, I have a bunch of analysis from NTD that might have something to do with it. Let's play these clips. This is a Minnesota shooting. Analysis NTD. Joining us now is Kyle Shiedler, director and senior analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy. He's also the editor of the book Unmasking Antifa, Five Perspectives on a Growing Threat.

Kyle, thank you for joining us tonight. Now, tensions are already beginning to flare in Minnesota following this killing with protesters this afternoon showing aggression towards police, driving them out of the crime scene. In your assessment, though, what are the chances this shooting sparks retaliation? from anti-ice and other far-left groups? And what could this look like? Well, I think it's probable. We have already seen in some far-left extremist social media calls to use arms to pick up arms against police in response to this incident. So the rhetoric is certainly hot. It is certainly there. We've seen attacks violent perpetrated ambushes against ICE officers in the past already.

So it's certainly within the skill set of some of these far-left extremist actions. Here. Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frye, this afternoon, accused federal immigration agents of, quote, causing chaos. He said Minneapolis is demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. What do you make of the mayor's response, seemingly putting the blame on federal agents here? Look, none of this would be happening if the state of Minnesota and the city of Minneapolis did not illegally act as a sanctuary city, trying to shield criminal illegal. illegal aliens from deportation. If they cooperated with the federal government and federal law enforcement in upholding immigration law, as do most of the states in this country, they wouldn't be having these kinds of situations. They deliberately inflame these situations with their sanctuary and city policies. And then when federal law enforcement attempts to uphold the laws, they're sworn to do, they take the side of radical protesters against the federal government. Does he expound further,

on the Antifa angle because, you know, that's kind of cropping up everywhere. Germany has been out of, you know, parts of Berlin have been on a blackout because Antifa, as they say, has been blowing up power plants using some kind of relatively sophisticated method. I mean, this could be more of a worldwide problem, which I peeped squarely on it. Well, it was surprise me if it was worldwide. There was an antifah flag in, uh, what? What protest was it? It was one of, it was either the, it was it, it was it was the Venezuela, no, it was, I doubt that.

I can't remember, but I, I took a screenshot of it. I didn't follow up. Well done. Well done. Yeah, but, you know, there's only so much stuff you could do. I didn't get any of the Berlin stuff. And Mimi is always hounding me. They were blacked out in Berlin.

They're freezing to death. Yeah, it's true. It's true. It's bad. Yeah, but, you know, it's only so many hours in the day from it to, get this research, but let's go with the, I got two more clips from this guy. All right, here we go. Now, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz this afternoon announced that he issued a warning order

to prepare the Minnesota National Guard to, quote, protect Minnesotans from rogue ice agents. How would an order like this work ordering state law enforcement to act against federal law enforcement? Well, in practice, I don't see much likelihood of that being the case. In all likelihood, I think probably Governor Walts is trying to get. ahead of President Trump ordering the Minnesota National Guard to Minneapolis by having the state activate them first. I don't anticipate that there being a real probability of conflict between the National Guard and federal law enforcement. In most cases, they have very good cooperating relationship. If need be, President Trump could certainly federalize the Minnesota National Guard

if Governor Walz was to attempt to use it in a way to prohibit federal law enforcement officers from doing their job. That certainly has sort of shades of some of the incidents in the 1960s where the federal government deployed National Guard and even active military forces to some of the southern states to uphold civil rights legislation and to enforce desegregation. So Tim Walts is finding himself on the wrong side of history here with some of his rhetoric. Let me just play some of that rhetoric. I think it's like a minute here

at the end of this clip of what he said because he made it sound very different than our analyst here. We won't let them tear us apart. We'll not turn against each other. To Minnesotans, I say this. I feel your anger. I'm angry.

They want to show. We can't give it to them. We cannot. If you can't give them what they're on our side. To Americans, I ask you this, please stand with Minneapolis. To Donald Trump and Christy Noem, you've done enough. There's nothing more important than Minnesota's safety.

I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks. And these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. They're teachers in your community, their business owners, their construction professionals. They are Minnesotans. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight. We will not take the bait.

So he's saying, hey, you know, these are our people. They're going to go fight the government forces. Yeah, sure they are. But the president can nationalize them. I don't think he needs to because there's not that this is going to happen. This is all talk. Yeah. Well, it's all unfortunate.

The whole thing is just, it sucks. And now there's a guy with a Black Lives Matter t-shirt. Okay, all right. Oh, you used to look at the quad-screens. Can you not? It's like it's nonstop. And it's like a loop over and over and over again. All right.

Oh, yeah. We're programmed. We get it. This is all designed to get more votes for the, for the midterm elections. Absolutely. Absolutely. And so your quad screens are all, the media is desperate to get the Democrats back in. You know what's interesting?

Ever since the Venezuela op, it is so apparent. And it's kind of good that we deconstructed. It is so apparent that the mainstream media, despite their low viewership, the incessant repetition and breadth of where they can post and broadcast, it does determine the narrative of the podcast circle jerk. They all immediately switch. Like, no one, no one's talking about Israel. Where's the Mossad and all this?

Charlie Kirk, he's dead. He's gone. We don't talk about that. I mean, you know, we don't even care about the Macron. brothers. All of this stuff is just in one fell swoop. It's all gone. And interestingly,

the biggest story, which of course is Venezuela and the fallout from that and the subsequent Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, we'll talk about that. That also just all wiped off the table. Now it's all George Floyd the second. It's insane. And just listen to the podcast.

That's all they're talking about because they just got to go on the narrative. Maybe it's because they're doing a show every day. If we had to do this show every day, I guess we do the same. You'd be like, well, what's going on, man? Well, but this is the hot news everyone talking about. Well, here's the, yeah, you actually might be right because if we did a show every day, we couldn't do any research.

No, you and I would just be talking. Yeah, which is what most podcasts do. Hey, let's yak, yak, yak, yeah about something. What do you see on TV? Well, let me yak about that. Oh, what is Matt Walsh saying? Whoa, what is Tucker saying? Whoa, what is that?

Alex Jones talking about. Yeah, every day is, yeah, unless we had a, even if you had a staff. Okay, here we go. Lots of these analysis clips on this. Well, most regular Americans would never harm law enforcement. How, in your experiences, this kind of messaging interpreted by already radical individuals? Well, I think what it sends the message is that if they act, if they attempt to foment a riot or an unlawful assembly, they can expect some level of political cover.

Where far left extremists think that they will get political cover from local or state politicians, they have a tendency to be a little bit more aggressive. We certainly seen that in the case of Portland, in Oregon, in Seattle, in Washington State, for example, in places where they know they will not get political cover, these sorts of protests tend to be disrupted relatively early. They tend to stay more peaceful. And I think it really is important for the politicians in some of these areas to get out ahead of this stuff and say, look, you know, you can have whatever a political opinion you want. You are allowed to be upset.

You are allowed to protest lawfully. But we will not countenance any criminal activity. We will not countenance rioting. We will not countenance attacking police officers, whether local, state, or federal. It's interesting, you know, you said about doing research. I was talking to Tina about the history of Venezuela, which we talked about on the last episode. And she says, well, how come, how come Megan Kelly?

She has a staff. She has a staff. Millions of dollars, which may or may not be true. I don't know. But how come they have staffs? How come they don't do this? What is going? I said, because that's not, because they're dumb.

They're no good. They're just about clicks. They're no good. That's the real reason. They're no good. They just want clicks and smash that subscribe. button and watch my clips. Nobody watches a full

Megan Kelly anymore. They just watch the clips on YouTube, which I don't even think she can monetize properly. I don't know. I noticed this to I didn't realize because I'm still looking at Fuentes now and again. And the clips that he does the same thing and all these

the negative things that everyone thinks about Fuentes. It's all from the clips. It's all from his own clips that he did. Yeah, he's good. It's not somebody else doing the clips. He purposely puts together clips that are taken out of it. He takes his own stuff. This is genius in some funny way.

Oh. He takes his own material out of context. Yeah. And then post it. Yeah. Well, and all... And he gets everybody all riled up. Yeah.

And then, you know, you actually go and watch it. It's like, oh, I'm tired. I mean, it's nothing to watch, really. He's someone that just want to listen to. I can't watch him. He's just a dude behind a desk for two and a half hours. Imagine if we had video Imagine if we had video

People like, what is this? What are these boomers doing? I don't want to watch that. Unless we're smoking cigars. I want to play this The response from Christy Noam. I just find to be such an interesting character. Now she's got a big cowboy hat.

Yeah, she likes getting, she's like a cosplayer wannabe. She's always dressed up. She wears the, The DHS style, you know, the DHS uniform. Camo, Camo. She'll wear a bulletproof vest during a press conference. So she's dressed like the sheriff.

I don't know. She's a fascinating person to look at. And here's what she said. You asked about a shooting that we just had in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was an act of domestic terrorism. What happened was our ICE officers were out in enforcement. action. They got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them

and attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him. And my understanding is that she was hit and is deceased. We're continuing to gather more information, but this goes to show the assaults that our ICE officers and our law enforcement are under every single day. These vehicle rammings are domestic acts of terrorism. We're working with the Department of Justice to prosecute them as such. We will continue to protect our ICE officers and inquire. How does she get domestic terrorism out of this?

Unless it's political. I just don't see the connection. Doesn't terrorism by definition have to have a political, well, I guess it is in a way. It's about the midterms. I think it's a stretch. Yeah, it feels like that too. Operation with other law enforcement agencies as well. You've seen me in the last couple of days

deploy over 2,000 more officers to the Minneapolis area. And in the last two days, we've arrested hundreds and hundreds of dangerous criminals, not just fraudsters who stole from the American people billions of dollars and put it in their pockets and enriched their friends from overseas and themselves, but also individuals who committed acts of murder and rape and trawerels. trafficking and drug exploitation and child exploitation. So we're going to continue to do our work. And I want to remind everybody that the act like we saw today of using a vehicle to try to kill an officer and his colleagues and the other people around him is something that every politician, every elected official, everyone in this country should be able to rally around and say that it is wrong.

and that sanctuary cities and sanctuary states that protect individuals who do that should no longer be allowed. So that is the, I'd just call it the counter narrative at this point if you look at the media. And of course, you know, I'm sure that Candace and the folks that redacted will be examining every frame of the video. Bring in the experts. Did he hit her? Did she hit him? Did she not hit him? Were the wheels turned in the right direction? So out of context.

So here's the narrative being launched by the mayor. Jacob Frey, I think he's the mayor, right, Minneapolis. Yeah, guy. He's on with pooper. Mayor, I appreciate you talking to us. You heard the comments from President Trump from Secretary Nome. They said the ICE officer acted in self-defense. There's obviously a huge disagreement about what the videos show.

Have you completely made up your mind, or do you still have questions? Well, we know what his mind is at. I'm not going to preempt the investigation that will be taking place, I'm told by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension at the state. But I got two eyes. I saw the same videos that you saw. And the notion that this is domestic terrorism on the form of the victim. Yeah, it's positively ridiculous.

I mean, the way that ICE is behaving is reckless, not just in this incident, but numerous others. And here's the thing. The chief and I have been saying, not just privately, but very publicly for well over a month, that something like this was going to happen, either a civilian, a police officer, or even an ICE agent getting injured badly or killed. And so, look, I saw exactly what happened. I mean, what you saw was the victim taking at least like a three-point turn. This was clearly not with any sort of intention to run somebody over, but to get out of there.

And you don't need a legal degree to know that that does not authorize the use of deadly force. Yeah, this is the narrative. Based upon the video, we all saw the video. You saw the video, didn't you? I saw the video. I saw it with my own two eyes, the video. So that is the counter narrative, or the narrative, I should say. It's like she was trying to get away. No, but there's no context of what happened before. I've got another clip here from this guy. Secretary Nome criticized you Dreckling in a news conference a short time ago. I just want to play that and let you respond. Yeah. Why does it take so long to start your clips? Because Governor Walls and Mayor Fry refused to protect

Minnesotans and instead they protect these criminals, that's why we are here. And we didn't just show up yesterday. We've always been here. By not working with us, Governor Walls and Mayor Frye are putting those criminals and prioritizing them over our children and our grandchildren. The Secretary's Adam and ICE is staying. You're calling for ICE to leave. What happens now?

And what do you say to our accusation? First off, when I hear that, that sounds to me like, someone that does not believe a word that she is saying. We have worked with federal agencies, by the way. This is a good clip. What? This is a good clip. Yeah.

He's amazing. This guy, I mean, he's the liar. Actually around investigating violent crime, preventing a narcotics trade, getting guns off the street. We've worked with the U.S. Attorney's Office substantially. We've driven down crime on the north side, for instance. crime is and specifically shootings are at an historic low. So look, look, we're pro-law enforcement.

We're anti-violating the Constitution. We're anti-crime, but we're pro getting ice out of here because I got to say, they are causing so many problems in our city. You know, the stated reason, again, is safety. But what we are seeing is that they are tearing families apart. Finally, we are seeing people that are terrified to go outside, go to their local businesses, and now exactly what we said would likely happen happened. I hate to be right here.

I hate to be right. Oh, brother. There's also another narrative. Hate to be right. Yeah. There's another narrative launched by, what's his name here? This is Hakeem Jeffries. Let's listen to him.

First up, Representative Hakeem Jeffries of New York, leader of the House Democrats. I spoke with him this afternoon and started by asking his assessment of what happened in Minneapolis today. There is no evidence that has been presented to justify the shooting of an unarmed woman resulting in her unnecessary death. Christy Noam, the so-called Secretary of Homeland Security. What? So-called. So-called. That's her job. She's got the job. She was approved by Congress.

She's not so called. So called. This guy's the worst. He's great. Is a stone cold liar who has zero credibility on this issue or on any other issue.

And what we need, as I believe, the governor has indicated, is a full and complete investigation. This rogue ice agent who pulled the trigger should be criminally... This is the narrative. They use rogue in the other clip.

Somebody else used it. was the, that came out of Minnesota. The, I think even Walsh used it, rogue. Yes, rogue. You want rogue. This rogue ice agent who pulled the trigger should be criminally investigated to the full extent of the law, including for demonstrating a depraved indifference to human life. All right.

So it's all very sad. Nobody wins in this one. But in the meantime, there's so much going on in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Health and Human Services has done an audit. I think this came out on the 6th. And here's the lady who's running this audit. It's pretty interesting. Another sobering report by the Office of the Legislative Auditor,

this one concerning the Behavioral Health Administration within the Department of Human Services, issues grants to providers treating mental health and drug and alcohol addiction, hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The audit found them issuing grants to applicants without a bidding process. So what we saw is that there was multiple entities that could have been eligible, and they chose not to provide a justification for why they were picking those. This report is quite stunning. One outrageous example, the auditors found a grantee that was paid six $272,000 for one month of work without any info on what they do. And the audit says the grant manager who paid it then left DHS a couple days later and

became a paid consultant for that company. That's what you do. To me, that's criminal. Auditor Judy Randall says she was most shocked that during the audit, multiple DHS managers backdated or created new documents to try to cover their tracks. Frankly, in the 27-plus years I've been with OLA, I have never seen this before. I will say we have had suspicions periodically, but we have never been able to prove it, to document it, and we did in this case. And it's very troubling.

Temporary DHS Commissioner Shereen Gandhi's response. I was shocked to hear this information in the exit conference, and it is absolutely unacceptable that any staff would provide anything other than accurate representation of the work done to an auditor. Yeah. So the whole, and this is not just Minnesota. This has got to be everywhere. Yeah. I have a clip called Diffraudsters clip covers this a little bit.

It adds a couple of items. But I like the way they use the inner mixing of using the Department of Health and Human Services DHS with Department of Homeland Security in the mind in the mind. DHS is corrupt. Yeah, we have too many acronyms. Well, I mean, we don't have enough, apparently. Let's listen to the fraudsters clip. House lawmakers on the Oversight Committee are exposing a multi-billion dollar fraud scheme taking place in Minnesota. Around $9 billion meant to support Minnesota programs may have been stolen since 2018. A federal prosecutor reported last month. House Republicans on the committee this morning criticized Minnesota officials for not acting quickly

enough to stop it. Governor Tim Waltz, Attorney General Keith Allison, and Minnesota's Democrat leadership have either been asleep at the wheel or complicit in these crimes. The child care fraud team was first exposed more than a decade ago between 2011 and 2013. But one state

lawmaker who appeared as a witness today said that those who tried to initially report the fraud faced government retaliation. They revealed that retaliation now includes threats of being fired with cause, which means you do not get unemployment insurance in the state of Minnesota, being blacklisted from all state agencies. The Democrats witness, a former DOJ official, pushed back on the idea that fraudsters haven't faced

for repercussions, highlighting the consequences that some have faced so far. The department has charged over a dozen people for stealing $14 million from a program meant for children with autism. The state's governor, Tim Walts, has repeatedly defended his handling of the fraud crisis, but since the crisis has been exposed on the national scale, Walt has since dropped his re-election campaign for a third term. Some Republicans aimed to expose that some of the stolen money was used to fund Democrat politicians, even the state's attorney general. Did money flow to Mr. Ellison's campaign a couple weeks later

from some of the folks who were in that meeting? Sure did. Do we know how much that was? I do not have that number. So it wasn't just overlooking the fraud. They were actively trying to make sure this program continued, and then they benefited from that. politically with contribution to their campaign, all in this same year, all in 2021.

You know, who's that again? Who does that voice? That was Jordan. Yeah. I mean, he's got to calm down. I like the facts of what he's saying. But no one listens to that anymore. Well, it doesn't make any difference.

What they do? Comer was the earlier guy that said something. These guys are do nothing Republicans. They make a big fuss. They get their clips on the air. Clips. Clips. Who gets arrested?

But that's my point. It's old-fashioned. Like, if you really want to do something, speak like a normal human being. Stop with the preeming and the clip moments. So while you do this, I denounce you. Yeah.

And then in a perfect, like, almost. Even if they spoke like normal human beings, they still wouldn't do anything. No. Oh, that's true. Yes. then it's all about the midterms. And then in the perfect, almost proof of the simulation,

we get Dr. Oz, who is, you know, he's a good looking guy. He's not an ugly politician. And he's now in the administration. And he knows how to read a prompter. And like, wow, everything has become show business. At CMS and HHS, we're increasingly worried about the deep rot within Minnesota's Medicaid and social services system, which are supposed to protect the,

most vulnerable Americans. The more we uncover, the more it becomes clear. It's much worse that we were led to believe by state government officials. We had previously learned that illegal immigrants were still getting care with an allegedly state-only Medicaid programs that were actually using federal taxpayer funds. And because of that, we already withheld $1.3 billion from California, Illinois, and yes, Minnesota, which always seems to show up on the list of states with the worst fraud, waste, and abuse. But this is only the tip of the iceberg from Minnesota. We have an unfortunate announcement for the Walsh administration. They have to admit they were warned.

Last month, we instructed the Walsh administration to produce a corrective action plan by the end of the year, which we received late New Year's Eve. And he sounds a bit like Hague, Seth, now. You know, they're all made for TV. Mill you. Mill you. Mill you, yes. We don't want to hear, for example, that your state law doesn't allow you to protect federal taxpayers from Somali fraud. And we want a sense of urge. I keep waiting for him to say, we'll be right back after this break. To fix this, as well as clear milestones to hold Minnesota accountable on progress.

Enough is enough. I just notified Governor Walsh. We will begin auditing Medicaid receipts and deferred. paying on claims based on fraud, waste, and abuse. Until we can verify what is legitimate, we're going to defer payments for the 14 programs that the state itself identified as rife with fraud. That figure could be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. If the state cannot get a handle on this fraud, as we find more, we intend to withhold

more payments moving forward until the state cleans up its act. Why don't they just withhold all funds? can they do that? Can you say, we're just not going to give... And by the way, why are my tax dollars going to Minnesota health care? I don't understand. That's, to me, is the scandal. Take care of your own people.

We've got our troubles here in Texas. And what an opportunity I've missed to open up my own facility for Tourette's sufferers. There you go. You could have made a bundle. Yeah. I'm dumb. So the president. is also very worried about the midterms.

And he's, I watched the whole, the whole speech he did for the GOP off-sides. The whole, the funny one that we had all the jokes in it, the one. Yeah, but the thing is, if you want to clip anything from it, he starts with the serious topic and then he just, whop, he's going off, he's cracking jokes. You know, I want to say one thing about the Republicans and the midterms. They're, they're not handling this right.

they're handling as though they got it that they're going to win the midterms well they're moronic if they believe that but they're i don't know whether they believe it or not i didn't say they believed it i'm just saying that's the way they're they're they're pretending i think pretending because they have to be they can't be this stupid they're pretending they're going to wipe the floor with the with the democrats in the midterms and they're going to win and they're so so they're exuding they're the message that's going out is don't worry about voting Yeah, we're going to win anyway. Instead of trying to pay, what they should be doing is scaring the Republicans and making them panic that they're going to lose.

And the rest of the next two years after 2027, 2028 are going to be just nothing but impeach, impeach, impeach, you know, and impede and just screw up the whole, the whole thing is over. I mean, basically the Democrats, it's like a, you know, throwing a wrench in the works. Well, this was. I'm sorry. But they keep acting as though they're going to, they should be panicking. Well, I think there's a probably a large number of Republicans who have the, let's just sit it out for a couple more years vibe. I don't truly believe that. Like, this just all sucks.

Trump is unpredictable. He's not playing the game, not playing the way we're used to. And so let's just sit him out. The sit him out doesn't matter, you know, well, you know, okay. So maybe. Yeah, we got through four years of Biden. Yeah, we can get through any of that. It's not, it's just weighted out.

But in fact, the president said exactly what you just said. You got to win the midterms. Because if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be, I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. I'll get impeached. We don't impeach them, you know why? Because they're meaner than we are. We should have impeached Joe Biden for a hundred different things. They are mean and small.

but fortunately for you, they have horrible policy. They can be smartest, it can be. But when they want open borders, when they want, as I said, men and women sports, when they want transgender for everyone, bring your kids in, we're going to change the sex of your child. He was in rare form, but it was just too, even the jokes, shaggy dog for five, six minutes before he got to the punchline. But he said one thing, and I agree on him with him, particularly since right now they're in the house doing the important people's work on voting on the health care extension subsidies.

And no idea how that's going to turn out. But, and he's, oh man, he does such a poor job of explaining things. He just, his sound bites are the worst. Because I know what he, I think I know what he's trying to say, but this is how it comes out. I read a story about insurance companies making a fortune, a fortune. The stocks were up 1,700 percent. Who invested recently in his stock that's up 17? He's, instead of just saying Nancy Pelosi, which is what he's, what he means here,

he doesn't say that, doesn't say, who invested him in these health care is, oh, made all that money. Who invested recently in his stock test up 17? And that's because the money that they're getting from Obamacare is made. massive. And the government generally, that means they're making a fortune. I came out with a statement, let the money go not to the big fat cats in the insurance companies that made 1,700% over the last short period of time, let the money go directly to the people where they can buy their own health care. And I don't think, I'm not sure that I've ever said anything that was more impactful.

You know, I say a lot of things and have a lot of good ideas. And this was an idea that, I mean, the whole world went crazy. The whole country went crazy. The world went crazy with envy. If you can somehow do that, Mr. Speaker, Tom, all of you, Steve. If you can do that, you're going to have, this is going to be your issue. The funny thing is that you don't have to wait for that to happen. I mean, it's been, I've just been studying this.

Since we, two and a half years ago, I got on the, was it, the ministry health, health care ministries, whatever it's called. Tina's got crowd health. You know, these crowdfunding initiatives are doing so well. They're giving you the first three months free. Like, you don't have to, you have to pay for the first three months. You can't do it in California. That's right. You can't.

There may be other states, but yeah, you can't do it in California because you get dinged. $1,000. Even that's worth it. Well, if you calculate it, but nobody, they don't see it that way. No, I understand. And why should they get dinged at all? No, they shouldn't, but that's a state. That's a state law.

And who's putting up with that? California is, no. Well, the point is mail-in ballots. It's not anybody in California that likes the idea. I understand what you say. It's the corrupt election system in California, Washington, and Oregon. They're all male in ballot states. My point is, my point is,

Why doesn't the president bring a couple of these companies in to explain how it's already working? And because really, we've saved, I don't know, what is it, like $12,000 more probably. Yeah, no, it would be great. They don't do that. I've always wondered, you know, if you remember, I don't, you probably don't, Ross Perrault ran for president. Now, what we got here, you see, on my blackboard is here's the money coming in. and here's the money going out.

He would have these little charts, just like you tried to do there. I did quite well. Yeah, it's not bad. He's screechy. But he would show a little chart, and he would, and it would explain, not just one or two,

but constantly show these little charts that were, what do you call them when you have an example that people can visualize? A chart. Well, I know, there's a word for. A Venn diagram. No, it's as an influential tool.

A meme. Cartoon. I'm running out of ideas. They just stop. And so he would show these little charts and diagrams and explain very carefully what they meant. And then you could look at him and you'd understand. Yeah. And nobody has done that sense.

And it's just beyond me. Well, the reason why is because Trump should know that he's been told. But if he wants, he's going to believe that God saved his life. It was when he was looking at one of the few charts he's ever used. That's a good point. He turned his head to point out the chart showing the immigration chart that he still uses it to this day. Showing the drop in immigration, he turns his head and he misses a bullet. Well, maybe that was the sign to use these charts more.

It is quite baffling. Okay, so Surby is gracing. That's because he's interesting. on it. I don't know. I think this is just, he's in on it. He's in on it. Oh, yeah, sure. I don't think so. He doesn't care. All right. No. But, but what it, what boggles my mind is the fact that you can already opt out of the system today. And it, it works. It's fantastic. I'm just blown away. And now, if I could get a thousand bucks or 500 or nothing, give me nothing. I'm fine. It cost me 500 bucks max per thing. that happens. And you help out other people. And so you're still out a couple thousand dollars a year.

That's what insurance is supposed to do, by the way. But it's the people's insurance. Hey, by the way. Yeah, but that's what insurance is supposed to be. Well, it's not. And if you look at well, there you go. Berkshire. Why is that? Well, and so here's my next question. Why do the drug companies not try to cure people? They just want to keep them on drugs. The whole system's corrupt. Insurance is corrupt. The solar drugs. But instead of going and fighting ice, fight the system people. Gosh. And doesn't Berkshire Hathaway, isn't there, maybe it's no longer than maybe, isn't their main business reinsurance? So insuring the insurance companies? I don't think it's, I think it's just pure insurance. Okay. So one share of Berkshire Hathaway went from like 50 bucks to 750,000 bucks.

You know, that should give you a clue about how well the insurance business works. And by the way, I think a lot of these insurers are tied back to Lloyds and. Barclays, you know, that's all thefts from the North Sea Nexus as far as I'm concerned. And of course, these are the companies that kick back to election campaigns. I need to look up some of those clips where politicians are saying, well, there's just one thing you don't touch in Washington. You don't say anything about the insurance companies. And the same goes for pet. You get your funding cut off. Yes.

It's like pet insurance. I think Obama was the number one, in all of history, the number one guy, recipient of insurance. Getting the most insurance money. Well, of course, he did Obamacare, which was literally putting money in their pocket. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm just saying it's like opt out of the system, people.

Do it already. But yes, the president should totally, and don't even claim your time. Just buy some time. Buy some time out of your own pocket and do a 20-minute podcast on TV and get some charts. You know, I'm sure he could do it. You're right. He did that. I love this is a beautiful chart.

This chart saved my life. Well, save the midterms and do some charts. Ugh. You know, and they're going to have their asses handed to him because Schumer is out flanking him. even though Schumer's pulling stunt after stunt like this, the latest thing with this stupid candlelight vigil, which was pathetic. But they gave these speeches.

I do have a clip from it, which is Jeffreys, talking about the cat. Now, talk about a liar. Jeffries comes, first Schumer comes out and bishops and moans about Trump being a horrible guy. And he's instigated January 6th, which is a fraud, if ever there was. And so now Jeffrey comes out,

and listen to his discussion about how fantastic the Capitol police were. For more than five hours, they were forced to engage in hand-to-hand combat, confronting thousands of bloodthirsty rioters who were unleashed by Donald Trump. Unleashed! They were beaten with pipes, whipped, assaulted by bearspray, and pummeled by Confederate flagpoles. They were bloodied, but unbowed. We owe these heroes in eternal debt of gratitude.

And we'll never forget their service and their sacrifice. Had it not been for their bravery on that fateful day, many of us would not be alive right now. Wow. Wow. Of course. Well, in the true Republican Party fashion, you know, I know what we'll do. We'll get him.

change our website. Today is the five-year anniversary of a deadly assault in the U.S. Capitol by a mob that was trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. And there's a fresh attempt by the Trump administration of trying to alter the facts of what happened on that day. A new page on the White House website mischaracterizes several of the events. The site accuses Capitol Police of escalating tensions and also accuses the Democrats of staging the real insurrection. There was no official event to memorialize this day in 2021 when a mob stormed down Pennsylvania Avenue and breached the Capitol as lawmakers fled.

Instead, a march took place today made up of dozens of people who were charged in those riots but later pardoned by President Trump. Yeah, this was quite, they had time. These were all pre-packaged, of course, because they were ready for it. So it didn't matter what happened in Minnesota. and it doesn't matter. They, well, what we got in the calendar, Bob? Oh, we got the anniversary of January 6th.

Oh, good. Let's do some packages. Yeah, I got a package. Oh, you know what? I'm going to get Pelosi on. Joining me now is House Speaker and Meriton, Nancy Pelosi Democrat from California. It's great to see you. I know this day is so difficult for everybody who lives in this city.

It was so difficult for everybody who lives in this city. I thought of you a lot today. I knew I was going to talk to you. but just given everything that happened, everything we all watched. And now we have the current house speaker refusing to put it. That's Jen Saki. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

She's going prime time. And of course, you know, the, nobody watches that show. No, but the argument is over. Well, they were supposed to put up a plaque and they didn't put up the plaque. Now we have. This is a good. Okay. Yeah, this is very funny.

Please. Current house speaker refusing to put it by a. memorative black. We have Donald Trump, who's, of course, President again, still lying about 2020. Lying. Lying. Sitting with you five years later. Well, today is an emotional day for all of us. Five years.

Motion. Since the president of the United States incited an insurrection on the Capitol, on the Congress, on the Constitution. And to notice bringing, just, they completely changed history back to where they wanted. It was an insurrection. On our

ability to honor our oath of office. to certify the election of the president by way of certifying the electoral college. What was sad is that this president refused to send the National Guard. He keeps saying, oh, I wanted it, but they didn't want to make it. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing.

It's mocking. Have you seen the White House meme clip that they put out? No. Where they clip that little part there, then they clipped apart from the movie. Her daughter made where Nancy says, yeah, I could have sent in the National Guard, but I never did. Nancy, they didn't want it. His own Secretary of Defense testified under oath that that was not true.

But he is not under oath, so he just lies, lies, lies, lies. Lies, lies. But what's important is our democracy. What happened then was horrible. It was horrible. Confederate fags under Lincoln's dome, the dome that Lincoln built. Hold on a second. The dome that Lincoln built.

I have a feeling. that that lasted a couple of presidencies. He didn't build the dome. Okay. No, Han built it himself. What? No, he, Lincoln himself, actually, from scratch.

He poured the cement. He did, he put it up, he engineered it. He's an engineer. He's a structural engineer. Everybody knows that. What she doesn't mention. And then the blacks did it too, the black slaves. And of course, funny enough, it was completed under Monroe, the predetermined.

the predecessor to the Donro. Under Lincoln's dome, the dome that Lincoln built while he was unifying. She makes stuff of as she goes along. That's great. What they call it Lincoln's Dome? Together, our union together. And this president, for some reason, decided that he was going to incite an insurrection, lie about it because he couldn't face the fact that he was not elected president of the United States.

I mean, it's what you do, but it's just show everybody. He's lying, he's lying, he's lying. Let me lie. It's great. You know, and Saki just sits there and she's nodding her head. She lives in DECD. She's useless. She's a, I don't understand how she gets work.

She's, well, what do you mean? Of course, if you do that, we could, you and I could have a show on Ms. Now. Ms. Now, if we did that, just do that. Oh, yes. It's so hard. I mean, now that we live in D.C., we really feel. We'd make more money. Our rent will be higher, but we'd make a lot more money if we did that.

But missing from all this, the same day, did you see the announcement from Levit on Tulsi Gabbard's declassified. Yes, I did. You have a clip. Well, unfortunately, it's long, but she's a good speaker, and we can cut it off or stop wherever we want. Over the past few days, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has unveiled shocking new evidence that former President Barack Obama and top aides in the Obama administration conspired to subvert President Trump's 2016 election victory and undermine the democratic will of the American people. While publicly pretending to engage in a peaceful transfer of power,

in private, former President Obama went to great and nefarious lengths to try to so do discord among the public and sabotage his successor, President Trump. The new evidence released by the Director of National Intelligence, who is here with me today, confirms that the Obama administration manufactured politicized intelligence, which was later used as the justification for baseless smears against President Trump in an effort to try to delegitimize his victory before he even took the oath of office. The truth is that President Trump never had anything to do with Russia. And the Russia collusion hoax was a massive fraud, perpetuated on the American people from the very beginning.

And the worst part of this is Obama knew that truth. And so did all of the other corrupt officials involved in this scam, including former CIA director John Brennan, former director of national intelligence James Clapper, former FBI director James Comey, former deputy director Andrew McCabe, and many others. So I expect these people to be indicted. do you think that will happen that's a good one so they're just doing talk and they're not going to do anything

well of course we knew all this already we've known we knew it of course we knew this we knew it for a long time you're a conspiracy theorist okay but now that gabber's brought out the you know she's declassified a bunch of stuff

which indicates this to be true it doesn't nobody picked it up you know you're playing the one clip that that says it all And she's at the press conference, she's talking to the mainstream media right in front of her. Nobody even wrote a story.

Where's the story? Do you see a story on the front page of New York Times about this? No. No. I still see a car in the snow on the quad screen. No, of course not.

Because she also calls them out. She calls out the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal. She calls out reporters. And you can go look at the, or listen to the clip in the show. By the way, I have a new feature to the show notes.

I now am posting all the sources to the clips in the show notes, which is handy. So you get the clips so you can do your own podcast. I see what you're doing over there. And now you also get the sources. But of course, those are prone to change because you know how that works. You may just go away. But yeah, will the department of, are there not thousands of sealed indictments? I mean, will the Department of Justice not do something?

I mean, it seems like you're going to, you're going through to just have Caroline leave it, just say it, then nothing happens? It would surprise, it would surprise me. Wouldn't surprise me. Hmm. Bloomberg, by the way, had a story this morning that Tulsi Gabbard was not, as the National Security Advisor, was not included in the Venezuela op. and the joke, according to Bloomberg, going around D.C. is, D.N.I. stands for do not invite. And I'm like, that's kind of interesting. Of course, you know, once a Democrat, you can never really be trusted, I guess.

You know, the less people that know about these things. The better. The better. The better. And because it's obvious that the Congress in particular, there are a bunch of, there are a bunch of, we have, that's the enemy within. Let me just play this clip. This is the, this is a very short discussion of the War Powers Act, which is a, was passed since 1973. It's been around for 50 years. And it's what the president uses to do this stuff, even though everyone says, oh, you can't do this, you can't do that. Yes, you can. And here's the short explanation of the whole thing. The War Powers Act states that notification should be made to Congress within 48 hours following the initiation of hostilities. In addition, the military must leave the country within 60 days unless Congress provides a declaration of war. According to House Speaker Mike Johnson, the military has already left Venezuela. Yeah. There you go. It's within the law.

And they brief Congress after the fact. It has to be within 48 hours, not before. No. They don't need congressional approval. It's right in the War Powers Act. That Congress passed. Well, that's a, that's all posturing. Trump used an antiquated document, a little used law.

Little used. It's used all the time. It was used by Obama. Yes. It was used by Clinton to bomb Bosnia. It was used by Clinton. I get, no, who was it? Obama to bomb Libya.

Yeah. It was used over. over again. It was used to get Noriega. I mean, it's not new. But yeah, oh, it's unconstitutional. I didn't clip any, but I love seeing clips of Obama and Biden talking about Venezuela, you know, well, they put sanction. Remember Guaido? Remember that gambit? They put in an Obama-like guy and no one even looked at him. No one came to the rallies. He went to the... He was in Venezuela and Obama. Yeah, didn't he go to Congress? Oh, yes. Guido, oh yes, Guido, he's the mine, he's going to do it.

Guido. Totally. Whatever happened to him. Is CIA op? They just threw, by the way, just on CIA ops for a second. You know, J.D, fat J. Now I have them in my, in my algo, thanks. Oh, you're getting to fat JDs?

Yeah, I'm getting the fat JDs. I'm even getting fat. He's a pretty good dancer that guy. I'm getting fat JDs in bikinis. It's very disturbing. My algos have crossed. when he was an anti-Trumper. Do you know who he endorsed for president?

It was either Rand Paul or... No, no, no. Oh, Ted Cruz. Nope. No? It was that dude from Utah, the CIA guy. Really? Yes.

He endorsed him. That makes me question, Vance. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, a lot of people question Vance. Well, because he's fat. I think he's also, he was on Jesse Waters show last night. Spencer Cox, that's the games guy. Yeah, Spencer Cox, I think. And he, he's a smooth talker. I have to say, I give him credit for that.

But he's not a good tweeter. He tweeted some stuff. He's not a good tweeter. You can't be president. No. He doesn't quite know what he's doing. he should shut up about the Minnesota shooting for starters. He's been given that portfolio. He was on all the quad screens this morning. I didn't clip it because it was too close to the show.

But that's in his portfolio. He doesn't get Venezuela. He doesn't get Greenland. He gets Minnesota. So I think he's kind of being sidelined a little bit, feels like. I don't think he's getting sidelines. He's getting more air time than before. He's just being, they just gave him a little bit.

You're right. For minor stuff. For my, yeah. It's like, who wants that aside? And go stand with Christy Knoem. Huh. She's wearing a hat. I can't see her eyes.

I don't know. I don't know. She's on a horse. So I just love the fallout from Venezuela and now Greenland. And I got to play this clip because I was watching a lot of the financial stuff. This is Squawk Box Europe, which of course is rife with the city of London operatives. Listen to this Brit. freak out. What world do we live in where America is potentially threatening or refusing to rule out

military action on Denmark, an ally, on an area where they can actually put as many troops as they want there anyway. They could have as many deals to extract resources they want anyway, or almost certainly, but they want to have military action. But that is not even the most gobsmacking of these headlines. Gob smacking. The fact that all pretence that this extraction of Maduro was about narco-terrorism. By the way, he's read in. He knows it was an extraction. He doesn't call it a capture, doesn't call it a kidnapping. He calls it a capture and an extraction. So this guy is clearly read in. The all pretence that this extraction of Maduro was about narco-terrorism or bringing

a drug's kingpin to justice is just completely out the window. All pretends that there is a process which the US administration wants to bring democracy to Venezuela is out the window. Whoever said we want to bring democracy? Nobody has said that. That's old thinking, brother. To just say, Venezuela has hundreds of billions of dollars of liabilities on a global basis, some of them, to US oil companies.

To China. But to say, we're just going to have now this 50 million barrels of oil, we're going to take them. We're going to take them. We're going to take them. We'll work out the process. It'll be fine for the Venezuelan people. It's just gobsmage. This is just a shape down. No, no. Do we live in where the US, the

paragon of the liberal democratic order for the last 80 years is just now saying, yeah, we'll have that oil. And for what justification? Yeah, exactly. The rules-based order is over. There's a new cowboy in town.

Then you can see, he's freaking out this guy. by the way, the oil baron, they're going to the White House for the big meeting. There's a big meeting with all of the oil. Oh, we'll get a report. A real report. And he's actually really been educating me a lot on, you know, the U.S., we can now basically make the strike price for oil. We could say, okay, it's 45 bucks if he wanted to.

And we could sell it at whatever price we want. there's all kinds of very interesting angles to this taking of the oil. And he gave me a book to read, which I've been devouring. It's called The World for Sale, Money, Power, and the Traders who barter the Earth's Resources. And it's the commodity traders. And you never hear about these. Well, you've heard probably about Glencore, Gunvor, Trafigura, Vital. These aren't really names that you hear all the time,

but these are the guys who literally ship the oil. They'll buy the oil, they get it from one country. They put it on, and there's a lot of these shadow ships. They ship it across the country. They might trade it for grain. You know, it's not even money sometimes. They trade it for either a different kind of oil or a different commodity. There's also all kinds of metals in the same ship.

it's amazing how this really all works, which you just never... It's a good business. Well, one of the top people in this business is a guy named Louis Dreyfus. Where have I heard that name before? Good name. Yeah, Julia Louis Dreyfus is the heir to that fortune. Then he's a commodities. Democrat.

Well, I don't know if Louis is. I don't know if Louis is still alive, but yeah, she's more than a Democrat. She's tarred. Another thing that came up in conversation is, you know, Venezuela has anti-aircraft batteries that are supplied by Russia. You got to wonder, did they malfunction? Did they just not work? Or was Russia in on the deal?

I think so. I think Russia was in on the deal. I think China probably knew about it. Maybe not the timing because they had their, their boys there. China is the one is huge. China has loaned Venezuela 90 billion so far. Yeah. And it could be more than that.

And they're going to be on the hook for that. Yes. But exactly what I said is like, hey, they've got to do something for the Venezuelan people soon. And I think that's this, you know, the 30 or not clear how much it is, 30 or 50 million barrels. That's $2 billion. Okay. So that's going to, that's going to keep the food in the supermarkets for a little bit longer because you can just change their system. But I think it's, I think it's fascinating. This isn't just one thing that changed here. This is a lot of things that changed. Here's, so everyone's, we'll kind of go from Venezuela to

Greenland. Well, let's only Venezuela. Do Venezuela? Okay. Yeah, let's do Venezuela. What do I have on my list here? I see you have three steps. Oh, yeah, this is kind of interesting because this just came out. I think this is this is Rubio, who would be a great dictator. He's funny. He says funny things.

He has little snakes. Oh, and by the way, somebody in the, one of the people from the, I think the, that works in the White House, says that of all the people that are on the, in the White House, Rubio is the funniest. Well, you hear him say stuff.

He's, he's funnier than Trump, they say. He has quips. He has little snide quips that just slash away. I should get a super cut together. We had to find something that has, yeah.

Well, before we played this, remember, he's an entertainer after all. Well, he was, and he's the one who came up with the small hands joke. Yes, it was good. He was when he started doing kind of a stand-up bit when he was running for president in 2016, 2015. He went into some stand-up material that was top-notch. I remember.

Did we have that clip, by the way? Do we have? I don't know if we do it. How did you find it? Ruby-o. He did top-notch material. And then he was condemned by the non-never-Trump or Republicans for being too glib. And he just shut it down.

He shut it down. But obviously he had the chops. Yes. So he probably is the funniest guy. Let me see. Hands. Do you have the little hands? Little hands. No, no, I don't have any of that. I don't know. Well, let's start with the Maduro hate. This is a super cut from the various talk shows on MSNB, Ms. Now and CNN and all the rest of these guys going off on Trump. This was an illegal, unconstitutional regime change effort. This is about taking over and running another country.

This is illegal. It's unjustified. Clearly, this is wildly illigals as a president who has been operating illegally since he was sworn into office stealing from the American people. This is the worst form of gunboat diplomacy that proceeds to create a lot of problems for the United States. The reality is that, you know, to fund these operations, to fund nation building, they need the approval of Congress, right? And so they're going to have to come to us when it comes to funding all of these things or do more illegal things and move money around illegally. like they have in the past. They care about the president running this country, not trying to have some dominance in the hemisphere.

Yeah. Yeah. So this is that I thought was interesting because one of the things they've kept, that keeps coming up in the conversation, is oh, Trump's got no plans. He doesn't know what he's doing. He did this and he grabbed the guy

and now they don't know what to do. Yeah, right. So here is the, this is the Venezuela the three steps. And congressional Republicans agreed with the Trump administration that the removal of Maduro was not about regime change. Step one is the stabilization of the country. We don't want it descending into chaos. The second phase will be a phase that we call recovery, and that is ensuring that American, Western, and other companies have access to the Venezuela market a way that's fair. The opposition forces can be amnestied and released and from prisons are brought back to the

country and begin to rebuild civil society. And then the third phase, of course, will be one of transition. It is not a regime change. I want to emphasize that. It is a change of the actions of the regime. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot more to it. Let me see. I have a BBC. Let me see. Well, no, I have three clips, all British related, of course. Here's Reuters. This is about the the ghost ships, the ghost fleet, which is a lot of these guys. that are in this book I'm reading. The U.S. has seized two Venezuelan linked oil tankers in the Atlantic. Notably, one of the tankers bearing a Russian flag was being shadowed by a Russian submarine.

American forces had been pursuing the Marinera for more than two weeks. The ship was reportedly empty, but U.S. officials are saying it's been used to move Venezuelan crude. This comes just days after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and as Trump announced a deal to bring up to 50 million barrels of the crude into the U.S. Just a thought. Let's say, because Russia's been selling their crude cheap, cheap to China, whoever

needs it, just undercutting the price. And India. And India. So what if Trump says, you know, I'm going to peg this, I'm going to sell this at 35? Russia, because oil is, you know, it's, what's the term? You know, it's the same everywhere. And it's not the same oil, but, you know, the price are the price. So then Russia will have to lower their price.

It'll put pressure on them. And maybe this would be a good tactic to use like, hey, come on, Vladimir. Let's just figure this thing out, do a demilitarized zone. Let's just end that stuff. And then we'll screw Europe together. Because Europe, the only way they can survive is with Russian oil. That's it. I mean, yeah, they can use our LNG.

but Europe is dead without Russian energy. I just don't see where else it's going to come from. Yeah, they got nothing. I think that could be part of the ploy. It's like, yeah, I'm going to sell this really cheap. Something's up. Yes. Here's national security reporter Idris Ali.

Anytime you have a superpower taking over something that belongs to another superpower in this case, the United States and Russia, it does risk sort of tensions fairing, it does risk a diplomatic demarch. The Russian transportation ministry put out a statement saying this is unacceptable. We request and really demand

our citizens from the ship to be returned to us. But beyond that, I think we're trying to figure out what happens next, right? Do the Russians say, okay, this was a vessel that was under our flag, but it really wasn't something that belonged to us previously, so we're going to

let this go? Or do they have some sort of response where they go after some vessels that is important to the United States. The U.S. Coast Guard is in possession of the vessel. It does appear to be heading in the direction of British waters, but we don't know what the final destination is going to be. Okay, so I don't know what that means. Here's the BB.

It was a tug. The Russians, I think, are a little more concerned about the 300 billion stolen from him in hard cash. You think? By the EU, as opposed to some old beat-up. I've seen pictures of this thing. This thing is barely... If it makes it without sinking, I'd be shocked.

And just because you paint a Russian flag on it, doesn't mean it belongs to Russia. You know, you fly, you sail under a flag, that's registration. It doesn't mean that Russia owns it. Here's the BBC version. The United States says it seized two oil tankers with connections to Venezuela. One that the U.S. had been pursuing for weeks since intercepting it off the Venezuelan coast was boarded in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Britain. During the chase, the ship, which is reported to be empty of cargo, changed its name and adopted a Russian flag.

Before the tanker was seized, Russian naval support, including a submarine, had been on its way to escort it. The second vessel, which was carrying oil and sailing under a Cameroonian flag, was seized in the Caribbean. It's now being escorted to a US port. A former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told the BBC, Moscow would take the US action very seriously. For Russia, it's a very important thing because if there will be a attack from US, it will be considered as attack on Russia and it could lead to very critical or maybe even crisis situation in relations between Russia and US.

Yeah, dream on, Brit. No, they're all playing a part. I think this is a game much bigger than they understand. And it's much bigger. Well, to throw a wrench in the works, I have this not reported clip from NTD that I don't understand how this fits into the scheme of things, but nobody's talking much about this is my WTF clip for the day, WTF oil deal. President Trump announcing a historic oil deal with Venezuela. Under its terms, Venezuela will purchase only American products with the money made from the U.S. selling Venezuela's sanctioned oil. This coming as the U.S. apprehends two more sanctioned oil tankers in the Atlantic.

NPD's Washington correspondent, Mario Hsu, brings us more from the way. I haven't heard this story at all. What a great idea. It's like, we're not actually going to give you the money. We're just going to send you some goods in return. This is a great idea. All eyes are still on Venezuela as the White House today confirms the seizure of two more sanctioned oil tankers. One of them, the Sophia.

This is a stateless, sanctioned, dark, fleet motor tanker. This vessel was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea. And the other, Bella One, the British military says, was part of a Russian-Iranian axis of sanctions evasion. The vessel this morning was seized in the North Atlantic. This was a Venezuelan shadow fleet vessel that has transported sanctioned oil. The vessel had a judicial seizure order in the crew. So that means the crew is now subject to prosecution for any applicable violation of federal law. This comes as President Trump announced Tuesday night. that the interim authorities in Venezuela

will be turning over 30 to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the United States where it will be sold at market price. The White House saying the Trump administration led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in close correspondence with interim authorities in Venezuela. The interim authorities have agreed to release that oil to the United States, so it will be arriving

here at home very soon. The United States government has already begun marketing Venezuelan crude oil. Leavitt says the U.S. is selectively rolling back sanctions to enable the transport and sale of Venezuelan crude oil to global markets. They are not generating any revenue from their oil right now. They can't move it unless we allow it to move because we have sanctions because we're enforcing those sanctions.

This is tremendous leverage. We are exercising it in a positive way. And we're going to refine it though first, I presume. I mean, who else does anyone else really need this? Well, yeah, Venezuela has some refining capabilities. But we have it. We have the refineries. I mean, Louisiana.

have done it right down in that area. Yeah, good for us. Yeah, go Texas. Yeah, it keeps these guys busy. And here's part two. Proceeds from Venezuelan crude oil sales will first settle in U.S. controlled accounts, and then those funds will be dispersed for the benefit of the American people and the Venezuelan people. We're going to market that crude.

We're going to allow that crude to be sold so that revenue can be generated, but then we're going to control the flow of that revenue to make sure it's going for productive reasons in Meanwhile, as the effects of former Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro's capture are felt around the world, President Trump warning other Western countries that his administration won't allow America's neighbors to be used as proxies for U.S. adversaries. We need Greenland from a national security situation. It's so strategic. Right now, Greenland is covered with Russian and Chinese ships all over the place. We need Greenland from the standpoint of national security.

President Trump says Russia and China have, quote, zero fear of NATO without the U.S. And that the only nation China and Russia fear in respect is the America that he's rebuilding. The White House confirms the U.S. is talking about what a potential purchase of Greenland would look like. More control over the Arctic region and ensuring that China and Russia and our adversaries cannot continue their aggression in this very important and strategic region. Leavitt says all options are on the table with the first option always diplomacy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he plans to meet his Danish counterparts next week to talk about the U.S.'s interest in Greenland. Reporting from the White House, Mario, too, NTD News. I think that there's disinformation that the president is spreading with this because it's not, every single report mentions the national security part of it.

But then always, oh, minerals, they got oil, they got minerals. There's gold in them huge, I tell you. It's all great stuff. No one's going to drill for minerals in Iceland. You're not going to drill for oil in Iceland. No, they're not. It's cold. There's ice.

And so the oil's frozen. You can't pump out something that's frozen. Greenland. I'm sorry. I said Iceland. I meant it said Iceland. Yeah. But no one's going to do that.

But that's what they keep saying, as you've pointed out many times, rare earth minerals. It's not the, you can get them anywhere, almost anywhere. It's the processing. That's the processing. Yeah, the processing is the problem. That's the key. But every report ends with it or has it as a feature. You'll listen to CNBC again.

We need Greenland. President Donald Trump is fixated on making Greenland a part of the United States. And there are three key reasons why. Trump says his interest in the huge and sparsely populated Danish territory is essential for national security. The White House has even raised a prospect of military action. But there are some other reasons why Greenland finds itself in the U.S. sites. First, location, location, location. Greenland sits between Russia and the US separating the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean. Second, shipping routes. The largely frozen island is close to new shipping routes as the climate crisis melts Arctic ice, creating opportunities to upend global trade.

And third, despite Trump's recent dismissal of this being a primary driver, minerals. Greenland is widely known for its wide range of raw materials, which play an integral role role. in things like EVs, smartphones, and loads of other tech products. Despite Trump's posturing, European leaders have been unequivocal in their support of both Denmark and Greenland. So minerals, oh yeah, minerals, minerals, it's about one thing and one thing only. It's called the GIUK gap, the Greenland, Iceland, UK gap, which falls under surveillance by NATO currently because of the, you know, the NATO. NATO connection with Denmark and Greenland being a part of that. So we don't we don't trust NATO anymore.

NATO is this is falling apart. Now I don't think Trump wants to blow NATO up because he still wants to sell a lot of gear to him. A lot, a lot, a lot of gear. But he does want to police that GIUK gap. And the only way you can do it, well, there's a couple of ways you can do it. But you need to either own Greenland, so you have your 200-mile economic zone, which would cover it, and then you can actually patrol it. There's other cases where you can do sonar monitoring, but that's not really what we want. We want to do the same thing China's doing in the China, in the China Sea and around the disputed islands.

We want to be in control there so that you can't have, the Brits, they literally have Russian submarines. showing up off their shore. How do you think they got there? Duh, through the gap. And then why are we building 10 ice breakers or six ice breakers in Pennsylvania that we bought all the know-how and everything from Finland? Because we're going to crush through all that ice. We're going to make this the most fantastic shipping route ever and we're going to control it. And that's, if you look at the globe, if you believe in the globe, that's part of our, of our, of our, hemisphere. It's very simple to me, but everybody's like, oh, it's about the minerals, and about the minerals. And boy, the Brits and the whole system, they're all, oh, they're

afraid of this. They do not like it. Witness Canada's solidarity. Prime Minister Mark Carney in Paris at a summit focused squarely on Ukraine. Our main objective is to finalize the security guarantees, which create the possibility of a just and lasting peace. see the signing they did of the security agreement? I did not. Oh, so, and Witkoff and Kushner are there. And they say, oh, we've signed a security, NATO, blah, blah, we've signed a security agreement with Ukraine.

And if you look at the fine print, all we're going to do is monitor intelligence. We're not providing anything. But they act like, oh, yes, it's a lasting peace and the U.S. is a part of it. not. The agreement really states we're just monitoring a little bit. We'll let you know if we see anything suspicious. We're not providing. That's exactly. We'll keep an eye on it. That's exactly. We'll keep an eye on it. So I see I had the, yes, here it is. It's the coalition of the willing security guarantee. I think I have the exact wording that will do it. These elements will be European led with the involvement also of non-European members of the coalition and the proposed support of the U.S.

That's in the agreement. Well, that's nothing. We're not doing anything. Crucially, the monitoring and verification of future ceasefire would be led by the U.S. We're going to monitor and verify. We're not doing anything. This is, this, they're delusional. Along with Carney, European leaders and U.S. representatives.

Donald Trump's peace envoy, Steve Whitkoff, and the U.S. president's son-in-law Jared Kushner. But it was Trump himself, who cast a long shadow over this meeting with his increasingly bellicose threats against a NATO ally. We need Greenland from the standpoint. Everybody likes that Nat Pop. We need Greenland. Of national security. And Denmark is not going to be able to do it, I can tell you.

After sending U.S. troops into Venezuela to capture the country's president, Trump has once again turned his attention to Greenland and his desire to take over the territory from Denmark. In a statement today, the White House called acquiring Greenland an important foreign policy goal and pointedly refused to rule out military action. That after Trump's hardline policy chief, Stephen Miller, this week dodged a question on the U.S. potentially taking the island by force. The United States should have Greenland as part of the United States. There's no need to even think or talk about this in the context of a military operation. Nobody's going to fight the United States militarily over the future of Greenland.

So the question just doesn't make any sense. So we could do it under the Compact of Freedom Association, which you would do with Paolao, Palau and Micronesia, which in a deal would give us full authority. And so we don't own Greenland. We just say, okay, we have a compact of free association. will pay the 600, 700 million a year that Denmark is currently on the hook for. And then we get strategic denial rights, the legal power to deny military access to third parties. And I think this is the setup.

Russia, you take care of that region. We'll take care of our hemisphere. China, you do your thing. They may actually invade Taiwan, but it's not going to cut us off from chips. They'd be crazy to do that. why would China take over Taiwan and not sell us chips? None of the, that's not going to happen. If you read the Russia, I decided to, I was looking, I got some material on Iran,

which is either falling apart or not. Yeah. Well, I want to stay with Greenland before you go to Iran. Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying I was looking at the Russian material to see what was going on. If they have anything, there's nothing. And, but I did spot this article in. I think it was Sputnik and maybe another one in RT saying U.S. is going to buy Greenland. And the Russians don't even think there's going to be military action.

They're already convinced that the deal is in play to buy. You know, this is a matter of what are you going to pay? I think so, too. But it's not going to be an invasion. They could also do a lease. You know, you can do under the 1951 defense of Greenland. If I was in Denmark, maybe the lease would be a good idea for a while if you can get enough money out of it. 99 years.

To me, maybe, but it's always 99 year lease might work. I think that just a straight up, if you can get a lot of money, a big, I mean, it's got to be good. I mean, Denmark has no interest in Greenland, but they could use, you know, $100 billion. dollars, two billion or a hundred billion is a lot. There's a lot of money. But under that 1951 agreement between the United States and Denmark, we have a free hand. We can pretty much do anything we want with Greenland. But that's not the point.

It's about the water. We want to have the right to patrol and basically own that water. that as the ice melts and as our big beautiful ships that we bought from Finland start to break up the ice, it's going to be a dynamite place. And it also, I think, kind of hurts China's Belt and Road, or at least we can start charging for passage. There's all kinds of benefits to it. The rules-based order has changed. And the only people who haven't realized it yet or aren't copping to it is the EU.

And they're just beside themselves. Where's Ursula and all this? Where's Queen Ursula? She hasn't been yelling about anything recently. I'm missing that. Here's part two of this Canada solidarity with Greenland. Denmark's Prime Minister, Meta Fredrickson, says the question needs to be taken at face value. For the first, I mean, I, men's good say, I'm a McCain's president.

I believe the American president should be taken seriously when he says he wants Greenland, she says. But I also want to make clear that if the United States chooses to attack another NATO country, then everything stops, including NATO. Mark Carney met the Danish PM at the Paris summit and announced Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand and Governor General Mary Simon would visit Greenland next month to open a new Canadian consulate. Carney, today, trying to strike a diplomatic tone.

We stand with Denmark, we stand with Greenland. Our closest partnership is with the United States and we'll work with everybody to make sure that we move forward together. The leaders of six European NATO countries, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain joined Denmark in a joint declaration, calling the U.S. an essential partner, but underlining Greenland belongs to its people, that Denmark and Greenland alone will decide their future. The question, whether a newly emboldened U.S. president shares that view. I think it's just trolling. It's just trolling. He's going to make a deal.

And I think everyone will be like, oh, that's a pretty good deal. Yeah, it'll be a good deal. It's going to be a great deal. And, you know, then things slowly unfold. I see the music is going to stop, and we're going to have the EU with nothing. Nothing.

So what do you know about the Berlin blackout? I don't have any clips. Yeah, I couldn't get anything that was useful. No, I mean. Euro News has these African guys doing voiceover. You can't even understand them. Did they run out of Europeans to do the Euro News? I guess so.

So they've targeted power stations. I don't know if it's a transformer or relay or if it's the actual power station. But the word is that they're using some kind of EMP or, you know, they're frying the electronics. So they're not planting bombs. They're frying stuff. And it's taking six, seven days to get these things back online. I have a feeling we've got some people out there who might be able to help us,

understand what's going on. Yeah, baby. And it's all being blamed on Antifa, which is, at this point, isn't Antifa just basically radical Muslims? Because they got enough of those in Europe. It may be code. It's probably code. I think so.

It's code. but we don't know what the code is. Not yet. Not yet. So I've been following this Iranian thing. There's a bunch of live streamers. Yeah, it's groovy. And this one guy, 2C-T-O-U-S-I.TV and his crew of TV,

supposed to TV people, has been pushing the fact that I think one city's, one, at least, the second biggest city in Iran, Masad or Masood, whatever you probably pronounce it, has fallen and as other towns falling. They're making it sound as if there is a, all hell's breaking loose. And so this is either, but nobody's covering it in the West.

And so I looked up, I looked at all the media reports because this guy says the Russian, that's why I was looking at Russian stuff. The Russians have said that it's going to be a matter of days before the regime falls. Meanwhile, American mainstream media is that no mainstream media is covering except the New York Times did have an article yesterday. that discussed and it looked like hell was breaking loose

but it was buried, it was buried for some reason. So this can't be an op, our boys doing anything because usually we plant stuff in the media, if it's our boys doing the intel and causing trouble. So this is somewhat mysterious. But I want to play these. I only have two clips because otherwise doesn't make a lot of sense. Nobody even knows this is going on.

But this is from, this guy. This is from yesterday, last night, actually. This is the Iran falling from Tusi TV. Hello, ladies in Toronto. Welcome back to Tusi TV. Oh, yeah, I know this guy. He's good. Woo, thank God for YouTube. Your global news channel, Amaya Tisi, and the revolution in Iran is getting closer and closer to completion. The Iranian people are now celebrating in multiple cities, as we now have reports from two or three new cities who have now fallen into the hands of the anti-Islamic occupation Iranians that includes, of course, the second largest city, Mahshad.

But the most of Karaj is now also under the control of the people as the security forces have now retreated from those areas. The members of the military, police, ambassizabeth have defected to the revolution from the regime and government buildings have been taken over in multiple cities and regions. There is a lot happening. We're going to show you all the videos. We're going to get your reaction as usual. And also, we are getting literally minutes before we came live. Russian media, the Russian media, what is going on it? The Russian media are now reporting the fall of the regime in Iran is imminent. And, okay, so we also got

Big shout to the Cheyenne X, just telling me, another government building headquarters in the city of, this is actually in the northeast, that is now fallen. Okay, we'll just going to go to the videos that we are receiving as we speak, and we'll talk about what's going on with the Russian media as well, a lot to talk about. First things first. Earlier today, in Charmahal Bahdi province, we had armed individuals fighting back. defending themselves against the Islamic occupation forces in the eastern part of Iran. He's a little bit of a yak yacker. He could get to the point a little faster. Yeah, that's why I didn't like clipping him.

But at least there was something there. I got some clips after you're done. Okay. And this is the second part where he just yaks a little more. But this is, you know, so he mentions Russian media. So I went to Russian media. I did deep searches. I went to two or three different sites that I could get on a VPN.

There's nothing. I don't know what he's talking about. This is an op of some sort, maybe, or maybe this is actually taking place. They have a lot of videos coming in from these, you know, then you can think Elon Musk might be behind it because it's his satellites that are providing us with any. Wait a minute. So what you're saying is you question if it's real? Oh, yeah, big time.

Okay. But at the same time, New York Times does have a story, but they have it, they couch it slightly differently. But it's buried. And you'd think it might not be buried because remember the last time there was like a pink revolution or some bull crap during Obama, I think. Green, green revolution. Green. And that, that's crapped out, but it got a lot of PR in Western media. This is getting nothing.

This is getting no play at all. Well, hello. We have ice in Minnesota. That's much more important. And if this is not, and if this isn't op and it's not taking place and it's all created, it's all a fantasy, that's worth covering too. I mean, you either cover it as a revolution that's taking place in Iran because this is a major country, or if it's bull crap, you cover that as such.

It's not being covered in any way at all except by, you know, right here. And so it's something somewhat mysterious, the whole thing. But the Russians, I don't see anything in Russian media that the regime has fallen, but maybe he's got a different source than I do. But let's play part two. Shortly after this, we had a massive escalation as the offices of the representative, the direct representative of Ali Khamene, the Supreme Leader. So his branch, basically, his IRGC branch was taken over and destroyed.

This is crazy, absolutely insane. The updates that we're getting tonight, Every night is just escalating slightly more. And just a reminder, only about three days ago, four days ago, the update came that, of course, the backup plan for Harmony and 20 of his closer people in the inner circle will be planning to flee to Moscow if the regime can't handle this and if defections begin. Both of them have now started. The IRJC are not able to take back control of the country. and we continue to get more defections from the regime. So as I said, the Russian media are now reporting that the fall of the regime is imminent,

is coming now at this point. So we don't know exactly how many hours or days we are looking at, but if tomorrow is like this or even escalates, more government buildings fall, well, it's going to be bye-bye Ali. But Kangan, in Iran, the Islamic forces, they are panicking so much. What did I tell you? over the last 10, 11 days, they're not able to actually form an organized, structured crackdown, like previously.

So you only see a small group standing in a corner, the IRGC guys. And when they get desperate, when they get terrified, they start shooting at whatever they see in front of them. Okay. So I have a couple of clips that I was able to find from France 24. and I think it's real and I think it really for one reason, and that's the money. On shop shelves in Iran, products abound, but no one's buying. Amid the worst economic crisis in years, they just don't have the money. A leader of cooking oil used to be $790,000.

It's now $1.85 million. As the government announced, prices for other goods will rise by 50% to 100%. That's good to become more expensive. Costs for all services will increase, too. The price hikes will spread into other areas of people's lives. Iranians took to the streets late last month as the Riel plunge to $1.4 million against the U.S. dollar. With inflation in overdrive, the Rielles lost 60% of its value against the greenback since summer. While warning of severe consequences for rioters,

Iranian authorities have struggled to shore up the collapsing economy, recently ending a subsidized exchange rate for importers that was meant to suppress prices for essential products in favor of paying Iranians directly. We have not eliminated subsidies. Instead, we have started depositing the subsidies into the bank accounts of all residents. The sum, about $7, ought to pay for around 100 eggs and a few kilos of rice or chicken at current prices. While it will help Iran's poorest, the policy change. is set to push prices even higher. I think they saw that they couldn't rain in inflation, so they said, let's give people a million toments

so we can somehow absorb the pressure to hold it back. I mean, it's like a temporary painkiller. Iran's reformist president has acknowledged his people's pain, but if he wants to make more than just a gesture, he may need far deeper change than Tehran has until now been willing to make. Okay. So if you have rampant, inflation like that and your solution is to give everybody a thousand bucks that's not going to

last very long that is the definition of how you ruin it and i think that there is real frustration water has been mismanaged people have been water they're out of water there's no water they can't and i mean there's video i the bazaars are all closed which is the main way that's the main that's the main thing so this inflation thing is but again this even this report seems you know, they never give you numbers. What's the number? I'll ask you right because you didn't in that report.

What is their inflation number in Iran right now? Well, he didn't give the inflation number, but the guy said it used to be 750,000 shekels, whatever they use over there. Reales. Reales. And now it's 1.5. So, I mean, that seems like a 100% inflation right there.

Yeah, which is not. Right now, the inflation, rate in Iran is depending on who you ask is between 40 and 50% per year. That's not good. That's not good either. No, it's not good. It's bad. In fact, we had 9%, but it's cumulative, which makes it really worse over time. But it's, but at a 40%, the numbers are giving don't make sense because a 40% year over year, I'm going to go with the low number, 40% year over year means that something from that last year cost a buck is not going to cost you a buck 40. Okay.

Is that, that's not like the numbers they're going into the millions. Well, that's just, that's just, I think this, listen. I'm telling you, there's an op going on here. Well, it could be a financial op. Scott Besson may be doing something really interesting. I don't know. So yeah, the annual inflation rate 42.4%, this is from my robot, point to point inflation, which is between December 2024, December 2025 is 52.

is 52.6. So it's rising by about 3, 4% month over month. But you make it impossible for people to buy food and have no water. Yeah, they're going to get angry. Now, I did find one guy. I can't find any op connections to him. His name is Kian Habibyan. And by the way, Iran is not a bunch of towelhead bunnies running around in the desert.

No, they're Persians. It's a very old culture. Yes. And they have a lot of connections to America, in particular California. And I think they're sick and tired of covering their pretty women up. Well, there's, so this guy actually comes from, he was the co-founder originally of We Are Iranian Students. And he was also a part of something about the women.

Yeah, the Iranian students, by the way, the ones are responsible for putting this administration in place in 79 in the first place. It was the Iranian students, but okay. Yeah, okay, 1979. I know. I'm just saying the Iranian students are just a bunch of screw-ups. Okay, well, let's give them the benefit of the doubt, and let's listen to this guy, Kiyan Habibyan. These protesters in Tehran's Grand Bazaar chanted slogans calling for the fall of the Iranian regime. They were ultimately dispersed when security forces fired tear gas.

Since the 28th of December, the demonstrations have spread from Tehran to other areas, particularly in the west of the country. They were initially against the high cost of living, but are now taking aim at the region. regime itself is this founder of a group supporting Iran's protesters explained to France 24. Since last Sunday, it started with the bazaar who went on strike and quickly joined by students. But the protests and the pressure inside of Iran, whether it is social or economic, is so high on the population that you have different parts of the population who are right now in the streets. You have all the people who don't find jobs. You have the students. You have the merchants.

you have our parents, our grandparents, all the people have joined in the common call to end the regime. Iranian authorities have announced they will give a monthly allowance to every citizen in the country in a bid to alleviate economic pressure. But for some Iranians, it's not enough. The government says it has heard the concerns of protesters, but has stepped up a crackdown on what it calls rioters. According to Norway-based NGO Iran human rights, security forces have killed dozens of

demonstrators, including several minors. Iranian authorities say clashes have also claimed the lives of members of the security forces, including a policeman who was shot dead on Tuesday. US President Donald Trump has warned Iranian authorities against killing peaceful protesters, threatening that the U.S. would intervene. So this Kiyan guy, he's based in Paris. He used to be a professional ice hockey player. So that's how I guess he ejected out.

But this thing started, kind of there was a, they have their martyr, martyr Masha Amini. who died in the hospital under, you know, suspicious. Yeah, that was over a year ago. Yeah. So it's been brewing since then. That's when he came onto the scene and started making noise. So, I mean, to me, I don't know if this isn't up. I mean, you're right.

I agree with your premise that if this wasn't up, we'd have a story. All we have is this ice hockey player. So there's no story. There's no one to talk to. There's no officials. There's no intelligence officers on TV saying anything. You got President Trump saying, hey, man, if you kill people, I'm going to step in.

And meanwhile, you have real economic problems. You know what? We need to air drop some stable coin on these people. That's always the answer. We need to air drops some stable coin. I do have a BBC. So anyway, my point is that this is going on one way or the other. and the media is so poor in this country that we don't even, it's not even an inkling,

no one's even touching it. It's just beyond me. I got two more short BBC reports. So tell us more about these protests which have been going on for 10 days and which seem, if anything, to be intensifying. There are a big challenge to the Iranian ruler's grip on power. That's true. We are definitely getting the picture of the spate of unrest,

expanding rather than dying down. Today, so far, we've got reports of unrest from several cities, from the very top of Iran to the bottom of Iran, from the west to the middle of Iran, and some of them are violent. Violence by who? Between the demonstrators and the security forces. And the interesting thing in this expansion of this unrest in Iran is reaching smaller villages, and this is what we witnessed during the 1979 revolution that it had got to the level of villages. And today we're getting signs of that. So, yeah, it is a deepening.

Now, also Venezuela plays into this. You know, there has been a stop of money flow. And oil is money. It's just pure money. You can trade it for anything you want anywhere in the world. And, you know, that Venezuela may have been more of a high. than we realize for the Iranian regime. And I still don't,

I'd like someone to explain to me why, you know, what has happened to the Rialal? Is that purely money printing? Or, because they only compare it to the dollar. So what is going on? What happened there? That's the part that I don't,

that I don't understand. But the economy is always money printing. Yeah, okay. So then they print, they printed a whole bunch of money, try and pacify everybody. didn't work. It doesn't have to be an up.

It just doesn't have to be. No, I agree. This could be an actual revolution. A real grassworks, a grass roots. Grass roots. A grassroots revolution that's actually from the taking a sincere one that's not being run by an intelligence agency that's not being run by us or the Russians or anybody else.

It could actually be genuine. and then that makes it even worse to me because you have a genuine situation taking place that's that's in today's day 12 and after 12 days the mainstream media does not cover a bit of it because it's not being run by an intel agency. So the mainstream media is only going to cover what they're told to cover by the CIA. Is that what we're ending up with here? Is that the conclusion I can draw? Well, of course it is.

it's either about the midterms or it's an op. Why cover anything else? And by the way, this does have an application to the midterms because if Iran falls, they'd be immediately friendly with the United States. Trump would get credit for it because he bombed the nuclear facilities. I did it. And supposedly, if you listen to this guy, 2CTV, he's always referring to Trump.

He's doing Trump gags. and he's doing Trump voices and he's saying the public loves Trump and Iran, they love him. I believe that, I believe that to be true. I believe it to be true too and I think it's the same thing in Venezuela. And so you have to downplay it

to a max because you don't need Trump getting credit because we have the 2016 midterms coming up and the Democrats might lose a seat. So that's the only thing I can think of for suppressing this to an extreme. Well, how about this? Trump's NSS is working. The national security strategy is working.

And this oil deal where we can set the price, that is not going to do any favors for Iranian oil either. Like, hey, man, why should I go through the hassle of getting it from you and changing my transponder and shutting it off and I can just get it from Trump? Seriously. Yeah. There is, luckily, luckily there's an Israel. angle from the BBC. As protests continue across Iran, a human rights group says at least 36 people

have been killed during the past 10 days of demonstrations. The human rights activist news agency says two of them were affiliated with the security forces. The unrest was sparked by an economic crisis and has now spread to most of Iran's provinces. Meanwhile, officials say a man accused of spying for Israel has been executed. Kazra Najee of the BBC Persian Service told me more about him. According to Iranian officials, his name is Ali Ardistani. The Iranian authorities are saying that he was a key Mossad agent and that he was passing on sensitive information to Israelis and photographing particular places and gathering information about sensitive subjects in return for a million dollar reward, according to the Iranian authorities, in cryptocurrency and also rewarded with a British

visa. We don't know anything more than that. They haven't, by the way, connected this to the present unrest in Iran. Oh, they haven't. They haven't. But nonetheless, the message is clear. And this man is probably the 12th or 13 person who's been executed vis-vis Mousad and Israel on alleged spying for Israel in the past six months. Luckily, luckily the BBC can kind of insinuate the Jews did it. That's always good. The thing that we're missing here is who wants to fill the vacuum if the regime really does fall. and you've got that prince in London living in exile. And he's only doing YouTube and podcasts in Farsi,

which is another reason to believe it's more real than an op because he's not doing any English-spoken podcasts. It's all Farsi. And he's going on for 10, 15 minutes. And who knows what he's talking about? Well, this has been discussed by this Tusi guy, two CTV guy. He's giving him orders.

He says, I think the latest one is you're supposed to all stop doing some variety. He's supposed to come out in a certain time and a certain day. Oh, the prince is doing that? The crown prince? Yeah, he's doing that, yeah. He's telling him what to do. And they are, and if you watch enough of this other guy,

there's a lot of chanting for him to take over. But he's At this point, this guy, the prince has got to be British intelligence. I mean, you don't live in London for 40 years. Unless they've dropped the ball. Wow.

Well, with that new MI6 lady, it wouldn't surprise me. She doesn't seem like she's very good. You know, the, it's possible to drop the ball on this guy. Like, we want you all to learn to code Python. That lady? Yeah. Right.

Yeah, she's a dummy. And then in the trifecta, or is it quadfecta at this point, we have Colombia. And breaking news, President Petro had a little phone call with President Trump, and that changed everything overnight. Well, the thousands of supporters assembled on this Simon Bolivar Square in central Bogota assisted to a remarkable twist of events this evening as President Petro stepped onto the stage, basically mumbled, took some papers out of his pocket and explained that he had just spoken to Donald Trump on the phone in the car as he was driving to the event and that he was to have to change his whole speech. Indeed, everybody was expecting a frontal attack against the American president. Well, in fact, he explained that he had spoken for 15 minutes with him and that both men had decided to meet in person with President Petro inviting Donald Trump here in Colombia and Donald Trump invited.

letting him to the White House. Donald Trump later confirmed that indeed he had charged Marco Rubio of Organizing the meeting in a close future. President Petro also explained that he's spoken with Delci Rodriguez, the new leader of Venezuela, saying that there as well, he would like to organize meetings, trilateral meetings, with the United States. So indeed, it was a complete shift in the whole paradigm of this crisis. Paradigms. Indeed, President Petro saying that there would be a complete change when it comes to the relationship with... The guy said paradigm.

For paradigm as the word he's looking for. He would like to organize meetings, trilateral meetings with the United States. So indeed, it was a complete shift in the whole paradigm of this crisis. With indeed President Petro saying that there would be a complete change when it comes to the relationship with the United States,

that the canal had been reopened and indeed solutions could be found. So I wonder how that phone call went. Hey, did you see Maduro? Would you like a nice ride or would you like a nice ride? I really don't think so. I think there's other, and Rubio is the main guy. I mean, when they picked Rubio, I said it right at the gout set.

You nailed it. You nailed the whole hemisphere. You actually front ran the Don Roe doctrine. I did. You did. And that's because, you know, Ruby's speech. Hold on. I want you to take that for a second and do a little victory lab. Because you, I'm going to give it to you.

You called that months in advance, you said, Rubio's the guy. It's going to be north-south. And that, you don't have, another reason people should be listening to the no agenda show because we are months ahead of this stuff. You nailed it. You nailed it. You nailed it. Because Rubio, you know, he's fluent in Spanish.

obviously, and he's not Spanish, Spanish, but Western Hemisphere, Spanish, which is different. And he can talk to these guys directly and emphatically with probably a fabulous vocabulary. And he is the guy that was probably doing the translation between Trump, Rubio, and the guy, because Rubio was involved. This Rubio is the guy. He's doing the job here to take care of these things. And I don't think there's threats going on. I think it's just after the Maduro thing, it's all going to be a lot of agreeing.

And I think Rubio can sell it. I think Rubio's learned from Trump, if nothing else, how to sell better than he used to. He was always, you know, had to have some chops, but now he knows what he's doing. So now that we've seen the national security strategy unfold, someone actually gave me a good idea. One of our producers said, hey, man, you should do a comparison between the national security strategy. strategy and the project for a new American century. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Which I thought was a good idea.

And indeed, if you see, there's a lot of commonalities. Space dominance, global missile defense versus the Golden Dome, peace through strength, military spending, which, by the way, I don't know if you caught this. This was crazy. Let me see, here it is. Listen to this. The U.S. President made the announcement on a Wednesday on social media. He wants to increase defense spending to $1.5 trillion in 2027.

He wants to build a, quote, dream military and pointing to the unstable geopolitical landscape as motivation. The spending allocated in this year's budget is at $901 billion, and basically was at that level over the $900 billion mark for the previous four years. as you can see on that graph. This has led to major U.S. defense stocks like Lockheed, Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon rising in extended trading in New York after the announcement. But Trump did set conditions on these groups in a separate post, vowing to force these companies to speed up arms deliveries and to build new manufacturing plants by cracking down on payouts to shareholders and executives.

He singled out Raytheon for criticism. as I'm saying, quote, either Raytheon steps up and starts investing in more upfront investment like plants and equipment, or they will no longer be doing business with the Department of War. That didn't get a lot of play, interestingly enough. No, I didn't hear that either. That is, so, hey. Well, I did hear about Trump bitching and moaning about stock buybacks. No, we played that on a couple of shows ago.

Yeah. But I didn't hear about the increase into $1.5 trillion. No, I never heard that, but I never heard the threat to raeckes. either, which is funny. I love that. I love that. What he's saying is we need an economy. We need factories. We need people. And that means jobs for engineers, jobs for lawyers, jobs for marketers. Jobs. Good paying union, good paying military jobs. It's that, you know, that's, forget the, they should also pay for. They should pay for. Auditing the Pentagon. Let's face it, one point five trillion is going to be, half of that's going to be a scam, a fraud, a rip-off, you know, there's

no doubt about it. Well, remember, remember that HECSeth announced a whole new procurement system. So I don't think we're ever going to audit retroactively, but I have a feeling that going forward there's going to be a lot more accountability for how the money is spent, because that's all that Trump is whining about. And it's like, hey, you're taking too long to build it. You've got overruns. You're doing stock buybacks. No. You want money?

You got to do it right. So, no, we're not going to, there's never going to be an accounting for all the stolen money in the past. But it seems like there's going to be some accountability moving forward. And it's going to benefit America. Oh, no. America first. Oh, no. It could happen.

Nah. And this other, you know, I get a lot of notes after doing our Zoomer versus Boomer segment. And people always come back to the same thing. It's always, how come we're helping the people of Venezuela, but we're poor? And I go into dialogue, and it always comes down to the same thing. I can't afford to buy a house. My dad bought a house for $16 in 1920. $16.50.

From the Sears catalog. But so, and this is interesting because this is something the former New York banker said, that's not happening. That's not happening. President Trump now announces he is immediately taking steps to ban large institutional investors. Yes, I saw that. From buying single family homes. Blackstone and Black Rock both. And I'm, that's what John buys barrier houses. You all see these things in the local papers around here or the TV says, Hey, Bill and Jim, we'll buy your house. Unlooked at. We'll just give you the money. And I get phone calls. I get Two or three phone calls a month.

Wow. Yeah. I'd say, because I, you know, I own my mom's old house and they keep asking if I want to sell it. They ask me if I want to sell this house. We'll give you cash. Just tell us what you want. And they are paying top dollar. Well, that's going to be over.

Yeah, good. And I have a feeling he might even force them to sell. He's going to Congress. He's, you know, his post says, I will be cutting on Congress to codify it. People live in homes, not corporations. I will discuss this topic, including further housing and affordability proposals and more of my speech in Davos in two weeks. He's going to Davos? Holy.

Holy, holy, well, it's interesting in light of, hold on a second. Where do I have it here? This, let me see. Withdraw. Here it is. This is a crappy report because, of course, it was impossible to get any. any good mainstream reporting on it. But this just happened.

President Trump announced the United States will withdraw from 66 international organizations and treaties. This includes major bodies like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The decision follows a review by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, citing these groups as contrary to U.S. interests. Critics warn the move could hurt American companies communities by sidelining the country in the booming clean energy sector.

Supporters argue it will stop U.S. funding for what they call ineffective global agendas. The withdrawal marks a historic shift, leaving the U.S. as the only nation outside key climate treaties. 66. They haven't published the executive order yet, I looked. But that's a lot of international things you're leaving. Yes, it is. And then to go to Davos and then rub it in everybody's face. This is going to be an interesting Davo. What do you think?

What will the hooker price be this year? I would say you bring extra security. Probably a good idea. Speaking of security, I want to thank you for your courage, say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the ICE, say hello to my friend on the other end,

the one, the only Mr. John C. Yeah, in the morning of you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning, our shipwis and the ground feet, and the air, subs, and the water in the names of nights out there. In the morning to the trolls, in the troll room. Hold on a second. Don't move. Get out from one of that bridge.

You can't get out. 20. Okay. All right. People are still interested in what we have to say. 1621 today on the troll countage who are listening live because they want to know what the boys have to say. I heard Darren and Larry, they're talking about us. You know. You know. You're in their backs? What's that?

I just noticed that Darren didn't have a Pogues medley on today's show. they're so convinced that they are the airs to this show. And I want them to keep thinking that. I think that's a very good idea. It's called the licensing deal and we're open for conversation. Yeah, we'll do the deal. We can do a 99-year licensing deal with Planet Rage. It would be funny.

They're an interesting team. They're an interesting team. I do like listening to them. So, yeah, that's the trolls checking in. and of course you can also troll along in the troll room, which is known in the stream.com. It's an IRC chat. It's very simple.

It's ephemeral. You yell, you rant, you rave, and it just scrolls off and no one hears any about it anymore. So it's much better than social media, and it's better for your health. Much better for your health. I was going to, was there something I wanted to, I was thinking, was there some M5M bonus clip?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, the corporation for public broadcasting shut down. Yeah, I know. But they decided to shut down. They're still, you know, kind of shutting down. Well, whatever they're doing.

So I have this clip from W-N-I-N-I-N-Evonsville, Indiana. Before you play it. Yeah. I want to reiterate the fact that that woman who's running NPR and has association with Wiki and the rest of that, I can't remember an M-A-R or whatever name is. Yeah, the, yes, that girl. Blondie. Blondie.

She said it, that, that, the public sponsorship, the public, the taxpayer money that goes into NPR amounts to 1%. Well, that 1% is ruining the business of WNN in Evansville, Indiana, who are a PBS affiliate, as well as an NPR affiliate. And they did a little statement about this. And, well, I can predict what's going to happen. The end of an era. After 58 years of service, the corporation for public broadcasting is closing its doors. The organization voted today to dissolve. It has been operating since 1967. Over the past six months, public broadcasting station WNN and Evansville has faced federal and state funding cuts.

Station leaders tell us the decision is just a formality. He tells us not much of the station's operations is expected to change. What our supporters see in here is not going to change. whole lot. We're going to continue to focus on what our mission has always been. Internally, it probably is going to mean somewhat of a different business model. Not exactly

sure what that's going to look like at this point, but certainly because we can't depend upon a lot of funding from the federal government, we're going to have to find other ways of generating that revenue. Orchell, the content will remain the same with only behind the scenes changes as the station looks to find

new ways to do business. Yeah. Ads. Yep. Code Bongino. Yeah, ads for pharma. Ads, yes, ads are coming. And maybe they'll throw in some Archer Daniel Midlands. By the way, another big commodity trader. They'll throw that in there.

So, yeah, ads are coming. And it's a death spiral, particularly the dynamically inserted ads. Oh, man, the podcast Industrial Complex is just going crazy about it. Because people are now starting to complain. to such a degree that there's ad blocking podcast apps and ad blocking companies popping up everywhere. Oh, good. Yes. Yes, I think it's a great idea.

I mean, I don't think the way they're doing it is great because they're, in essence, copying the file and selling it for a buck 25. It's not exactly the way it should work. That's kind of theft in a way. But people are sick of the ads. And it's rampant everywhere, every. because whenever you do a dynamically insert ads, there is an unlimited inventory.

It's unlimited. So the CPM, the cost per thousand just goes down and down and down and down, which means you have to have more and more and more ads. And it just becomes unlistonable. We're not going down that route. We also, we never have. We're not going to do subscriptions. Oh, my, how many subscriptions can you afford?

That's the first thing to go. well, you know, I subscribe to pivot. But, you know, it's like I just, I should probably just watch the clips on YouTube for free. That's what's going on. No, instead we said, we would like to have longevity. A friend of mine pulled episode number one. And they said, oh, he said, okay, the sound wasn't as good. No.

But it was 37 minutes in length. episode ever. There were no jingles. In fact, we were proud of not having jingles. Yeah, we made a big deal about it. But he said, he said, you know, the way you guys interacted, despite a little more delay, because we were using Skype back in the day. And, you know, and you sounded like you were talking through a straw from time to time.

He said, but it's, it's been remarkably consistent. And I'm like, yeah, well, that's true. We have, we have never changed. And this is what I was explaining to Tina. You're never going to fly private, okay? Just get used to it. It's never going to happen. It's never, unless you want to go in my little force.

When you get in a little cesta, that's flying private. She doesn't consider that to be flying private. If she has to get in. What is it then? Getting in over the wing is not flying private. She's, unless there's stairs that drop down from the fuselage, it's not flying private. And I have to agree with her. I disagree.

I think getting in a helicopter is flying private. private. Anyway, that's beyond the point. I said, because we're going to, we're going to do this. She says, I hope you make it until 20 years. What do it mean you hope you make it until 20 years? We're going forever with this thing. We're going to die in this saddle.

Until we drop. Yeah, one of us is going to drop. And then, you know, hopefully we should probably have a dead man switch and have that licensing deal for, for Darren and Larry in the pocket for, you know, for our heirs. Think about it. We just give them half. Half. By the way, we do the money.

I'm loving this idea more and more every single day. Everybody has a B team. Why don't we have a farm team set up? Yeah, well, you know, you make a good point. I knew you'd like it. Yeah, all right. Well, we should hold open auditions, really. I'm like in this open auditions.

I'd like to see a few of the ladies. Yes. Yes. And we'll even switch on the video. We would like to have an open audition. We'll do five minutes, five minutes, five minutes of media deconstruction. You can throw in a clip or two. Send it in Adam atcurry.com.

I am very curious. And if it's video, even better. Even better. But you have to adhere to the same value for value of model. you're going to screw it up for yourself. Because that's what we've learned. After 18 years, this is what works. And it works because we don't have to kowt to subscribers, advertisers, any of that stuff.

No, we are consistent with this, we are not captured by our audience. People get, get mad and leave and a huff and they come back or they don't or new people come in. It's John Spurlock who runs op3.com. It's an open source measurement system, part of podcasting 2.0. He says, I have never seen in all the podcasts he monitors, he monitors four and a half million. There is no audience as loyal as the no agenda audience. I should probably get like an official statement from him.

Yeah, I haven't signed it. Can seal it. What does he mean by that? He says that the loyalty, I guess he can see this. Are you doing it by IP addresses? Well, it's not just, he has a whole system. This guy is a genius. He's ex-Google.

He retired. He lives on a ranch in New Jersey. Oh, he's one of those guys. Yeah. And he said, no, he's a guy who's got that, he was, yeah, I know the type. This is an engineer's meant, a true, you know, these, some people can, I've said this before, I'll bring it up one more time. There are people out there, like, for example, Chad.

Heath, they used to work at IBM. He always used to look, and I'd know other people, too, that could do this. George Morrow could do it. He'd look at a bus structure and see what the signals were supposed to be, and he could see immediately where there'd be a conflict. Another friend of mine was, used to be an antenna engineer at Grumman, and he said he could look at it and just look at an antenna and say, that's not going to work. And then he just says it took him decades before I realized that nobody else could see

what he was seeing when he saw that the antenna wouldn't work because he could see how the waves came in. I don't know what he's looking at. But it's like that these kind of guys are out there. And he's obviously one of those guys who's got a sense of this stuff. He's also a super nice guy. And he's worth a follow because he always has links to very interesting stories and posts. And he's a good guy. And he's doing all of this just for the love of podcasting.

He doesn't charge anybody for it. And he's, yeah, so when he says, when he said makes a statement like that, I tend to believe him. How he doesn't, I don't know, I don't know. He probably is right. He's probably right. I mean, we do a redirect through op3.3.dev, which, you know, thousands of podcasts do this now because it is, you can go right on op3.3. Deb, you can take a look. You can see all of his stats and everything. It's great.

So that's the point. We have a loyal audience. It's the people who stick with us or with us for a long time. Now that doesn't mean that. Yeah, a lot of them don't donate. Well, no. It's free. Why would you do that? You know, like, I don't have to go to that cheese shop. Oh, what happened to the cheese shop? Oh, it's gone.

You know why? You didn't buy any cheese. So keep buying our cheese, people. Yeah, it helps. And supports open podcasting by getting a modern podcast app, podcast apps.com. So now we want to thank people, our supporters, our producers, our Duke of Texas, Sir Gene, he posted a like a negative comment on X. He showed some video of like some deer born Muslims celebrating. There's some holiday they celebrate, you know, the 40 years after somebody of Mohammed's died.

I don't know what it was. And they do this dance and looks kind of militaristic. And he posts, I would, I trust my own eyes watching a video over. over some so-called listeners who have anonymous listeners boots on the ground. I trust our boots on the ground. We sniff out the spooks. And we encourage the spooks to email us. Oh, yeah.

We need more spooks. We need spooks. They tell us what's going on. They're trying to feed us stuff, of course. Yeah. But we try to spot that. And they maybe sometimes donate from a safe house or someplace where they have some extra money and they can send it in.

We encourage that too. We encourage that. It has not been happening much. No, we are a safe, a spook safe outfit. Send your money. Yeah, I don't understand what, you know, they must have a, I see it as some sort of cycle

where they get a bunch of money and all of a sudden, okay, you guys send it to your favorite podcasters. There's a memo that goes out. It's a memo once every quarter. This is the month you can send some money to these guys. Here's the credit card you can use. Go ahead.

Use that. Yeah, they're a good credit card. Right. Here's the credit card. You know, they can't be traced. Just use the credit card you use for your honey trap operations with the hookers and use to send some money to the miller-in-and-a-old. Yeah, we'll put some extra money in there for the podcasters.

Yeah. So, yeah, but we haven't seen that recently. And think about it. Unless they're really slipping in and surreptitious. No, no. No, we're pretty good at the test. It's pretty obvious when it comes in. Yeah.

And, and, and it's much better that we have this, this method, because then what are they going to do? Buy more farmers dog to influence Joe Rogan? No, that's not going to work. Anyway, time, talent, treasure. We want to thank the artist for episode 1831. Of course,

we had to title that the Don Row Doctrine. Once again, we're a little bit ahead of the curve. Now, everybody's using it, but we heard it because the president said, people are calling it the Don Roe Doctrine. It's amazing. I don't know how they came up with it. And Darren O'Neill nailed it. He just nailed it.

This was, although very orange, meaning we kind of know what language model he used. He had the no agenda nicotine cookies. They are satisfying and smooth. 33 packs. And be fat and addicted is a beautiful piece of art with some fat like loser. Although it has a very good looking teeth. Yeah, nice beanie.

And a beanie with a propeller. Although the propeller was kind of, you know, the AI didn't do the. propeller very well. And that kind of failed. But it was a great piece. It's very funny. You can't look at it and not laugh.

Now, the question is, when Darren and Larry do the show, you know, on our licensing deal, will they do their own art or will they sub-license the art to someone else? Let me think. Darren, it'll be doing all the art. And all the end of show. And hell with Jeffrey Rhea. That guy. I was going to take a look at the art generator,

although it seems to have the slowed down to a crawl. It looks like the troll room's having trouble, too. I got on it a little while. Oh, you got on earlier? It's got a lot of stuff. Yeah, well, do you want to talk about, oh, okay, I got it. Some of the other pieces that were submitted that we looked at.

Let me scroll. There's a lot coming in. But I liked the little, Jeffrey Ray had a couple of good pieces. He had the ultra lights, a flying scooter. That was there. Yeah, it didn't like the flying scooter. I liked the flying scooter. It was aeronautically dumb.

Made no sense. Oh, yeah. That's, that's, that's, it would chop you in half. It would chop you in half. It was no good. CIA travel agency. I kind of liked comics or bloggers emergency pod, but you nicks that right away. Like, we're negative.

I didn't. You nix it. We're not going to do emergency pod. I did not. I thought it was funny. I thought it was a funny piece. I didn't nix it. I thought it was a funny piece.

Well, we're not using emergency pod. It makes it sound like we just did an emergency pod. Well, that's kind of the joke. We don't do emergency pods. And then Darren did Fox Box, which was just wrong because it was Box Fox Fox.

He got that the wrong way around. We got a note about that. I'm going to read that notes. This is a dame Jen with a G protector of women's vaginas. Yeah, her. That's a note that always gets some attention from us. Listening to John's clip from TikTok girls, specifically the baby checkboxes,

these gals are no longer on SSRI medication. I'm seeing more and more of them in the clinic, because she's a protector of women's vaginas, that are on a much stronger Molotov cocktail of atypical antipsychotics, such as lithium, Abilify, etc. They start on SSRI medication, but still feel sad or anxious at times

so they get dosed up and more and more powerful drugs. Yeah. And then she had a hypothesis about she and the spook from Spokane hit the gym on January 2nd who was shocked by the lack of crowds. And she says she attributes that to the GLP1 epidemic. I thought that was a good observation because Horowitz always talks about on the DHS unplug show. He's always talking about checking out the gym. You know, the first month of the New Year's always the parking lots are packed.

And then by March there's nobody in the parking lot. But it sounds like the way she's seeing it, it's not even going to be packed in January now. Why bother going to the gym when I just take this pill? She says it's a good time to invest in orthopedic surgeries, if there's such a stock. as these mostly women have shrunk to toothpicks. And with the muscle loss or one slip away from breaking their hip, pelvis, or knee. Invest in orthos. There you go.

I say sent for my Bakelite phone. Thank you very much. Is he's executive and associate executive producers for episode 1832? Our formula is this. We hit people in the mouth. Water. Order. Shut up.

Shut up. You do. You do send it from your Bakelite. My Bakelite phone one letter at a time. So I do have a funny clip. Oh, that's good. We love funny clips. Well, we have Johnny, Johnny from the Water Show.

Oh, Johnny's back. Johnny's back. Well, he's back a lot. I just don't get a lot of his stuff because it's not that. I mean, it's always okay. And this is probably the best reasonable one. it's always better when he goes to the beach. What beach?

He would say he went to Fort Myers. Oh, okay. They fly him out from New York. Hey, you want to go to Fort Myers and do your segment? Oh, I think so. That's a big budget show right there. It is. Well, so they fly him to Fort Myers.

And the beach people that live on the basically live their lives on the beach are ding bats. And so we get to hear this segment, which it's, it just takes. a lot of editing, believe me, to get some of this stuff out of here. But this is, I think, the crux. Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Happy New Year! How'd you ring in the New Year? Got fed some shots by the bartender. Stayed out until about 3 a.m. and got very drunk. I gave a cow of beer. That's about it. We wrung it in kind of by the toilet. I blacked out at a party, and my friend had to carry me home, and I lost my shoes. Was your New Year's kiss?

My last call of the night. Just the toilet. He ended up going home with a random guy. What was the random guy's name? Don't know. Don't remember. What was your biggest mistake in 2025? Partying more than I should have. My ex-boyfriend, honestly, it's just a piece of...

Broke my foot. That was a pretty big mistake. Dating a man that I did not like. Do you predict is going to happen in your life this year, 2026? I'm going to climb Mount Everest. Get famous and rich. I go to Minnesota. What's going to happen with your governor, Tim Wall? I don't know. Thanks.

Do you know your governor, Simul? Oh. Why do you know that? He was Kamala's running mate. Oh, okay. I know that. We call him tampon. Really? I kind of like that. I'm going to commit tax fraud.

Good luck. You're saying that on camera. Can't catch me. What's your name? I'm Nick. Where do you live? Kansas. Oh, wait, shoot. I shouldn't have said that. 2025 was Donald Trump's a big return to the White House?

How do you do? Our economy is on the uphill climb. Gas is cheaper. Groceres are cheaper. I do a little bit of stock, so that's done well. Best president. I never. What should Donald Trump's New Year's resolution be? World peace. Let's just be peaceful. How did Trump capture Maduro? I don't know what that is.

Maduro. Is that a place? Is that a location? I think it's a disease. I don't even know where Maduro is. I don't know what Maduro is. He was the leader of Venezuela. Okay. Where is Venezuela? I don't know. Is it north or south of Florida? I mean, the world's circular, so it's both. Oh my God. Okay. First observation. Why are these people complaining about not being able to afford a house?

It sounds like they're having a good life. Sounds groovy. You know what the, this is like nobody, this is the, I always like to bring these in once in a while just to remind people that this is the level of, of knowledge about current events.

Nobody knows who Maduro is. They don't know where Venezuela is. And, you know, and we get all worked up about a lot of the, this stuff and, you know, women go out and try to run over the ice agents and get shot and, you know, get over yourself. Well, it's interesting because I have two clips and I'm not fishing in your pond. I did get them off TikTok.

I got them off TikTok. And the first one, you've seen this type of TikTok teacher, but this is the lead in to the second TikTok teacher. And it explains a lot about your clip. that do not exist inside high schools anymore that I think might shock some people. None of these things shocked me, but then on the internet I realized I was like, oh, people don't know this. Okay, so now I have to share it with it. There are no textbook. I did not know that people do not know this. Yeah, no, they don't, I've never, I have never seen any textbook. This is my third year

teaching high school. I've never seen one for a singular class. And what we're starting to see in education is everyone's like, I think we need to go back. We need textbooks. Like, I love when I find a PDF that's from a textbook. I found the most dangerous game. I was printing that out for my ninth graders last year and I found a textbook version with like questions on the side and I was like oh my god jackpot need that like I miss textbooks but like I remember having that in middle school I remember having that in high school for a little bit I graduated in 2019 mind you I think that a lot of these things don't shock me because while I was in high school that was kind of like when we were transitioning away from all these things that are now completely missing in high schools the third thing there are not computer labs there's on a singular computer lab in this school mind you this is a brand new school those aren't necessary like all of our kids are one to one they all have a on Chromebook. We don't need a computer lab. Like, I remember being so excited to go to the computer lab, especially elementary school. Like those computer lab days, oh my God, golden.

Okay, I didn't actually know this. I guess if I thought about it, yeah, I know about Chromebooks and schools. I didn't realize that there's absolutely no textbooks at all. And from the sound of this teacher, who, by the way, teacher, you should be able to speak for at least a minute without having to pause after every sentence. to restart the recording. I mean, that says a lot about you. I'm sorry to say.

Were you aware that there's absolutely no textbooks in school anymore? I mean, I know I'm a boomer. I find that hard to believe. Well, it turns out it's true. Just asking around. I know in colleges there's plenty of textbooks because the professors make you buy their book. Yes. Yes, this is true.

So in middle school, high school, it seems. that there's maybe a generality. But for sure, I know that Google spent an exorbitant amount of money, and we followed all this. It started with Common Core and, you know, the whole ushering it. Apple used to have kind of the market for schools. They had a whole K through 12 program, and they would fund the computer labs,

and they'd put MacBooks in there, and people could learn how to use a computer. No, that apparently has just gone by the wayside. And I'm sure people will say, we have textbooks in our school, but it doesn't sound like a lot of schools have them anymore. And I found this TikTok teacher who, um, he says that what you're seeing on the Jesse Water show,

the complete lack of knowledge of anything other than I got blackout drunk and I dated a guy I hated is because of the Chromebooks. I have been teaching for 20. 25 years. I've watched education change, evolve, reinvent itself, and on more occasions than I'd like to admit education has chased shiny nonsense. And from experiencing all of that, I'm going to say this as clearly as I possibly can. Chromebooks are killing education. And this is not coming from some technophobic teacher clutching a chalkboard. I teach K-8 computer science. I believe in technology. I have taught kids to code, debug, use Google Docs,

Google Slides, Google Classrooms, Google, Problem Solve and Create. I remember when computers, were a privilege, not a pacifier. And I feel like that is really the difference right now. Chromebooks were supposed to be tools. Instead, they have become crutches and babysitters. Digital worksheets with better branding. We have handed kids' screens before they could even hold a pencil properly. And we act shocked that attention spans have evaporated.

And frustration tolerance has hit zero. I have watched students who can swipe, tap, and close pop-ups with Olympic level speed, but can't write a paragraph to save their life. Or follow multi-step directions. Or sit with a problem without instant. Instantly asking, is there a video for this? Paper slows the brain down in a good way. Pencils create the friction that thinking needs.

Books require patience, stamina, and imagination. Screens train kids to expect instant answers. Dopamine hits and endless stimulation. And then we wonder why school feels boring and hard. And don't even get me started on kindergartners with Chromebooks. Five-year-olds do not need personal laptops. They need scissors and crayons and blocks and conversations. And play a whole lot of it.

Developmentally, screens are skipping steps, and those skip steps are now showing up as behavior problems, anxiety and academic gaps later. And here's the irony, because there is always irony. We killed the computer lab in the name of one-to-one devices. And in doing so, we killed actual computer skills. Kids do not know how to type properly. They don't understand file systems. They don't know how computers fundamentally work. They just know how to click next or scroll up.

Let's bring back the computer lab. Make technology intentional again. Teach kids when to use tech, not just how. Chromebooks should be a tool used sometimes with purpose, not the default for everything. Education does not need more screens. It needs more thinking, more writing, more reading, more hands-on learning, and more human interaction. I have seen what school looked like before this experiment, and I'm watching the fallout now. This isn't nostalgia speaking here.

This is 25 years of teaching experience. It is beyond time to course correct, especially before we raise a whole generation fluent in apps, but illiterate in focus. man, I thought that was good. I was good. I gave the credit for digging it up on taking my spot on the TikTok report. I think the point to point that I got out of it, which I didn't think about, was getting rid of computer labs because when they had computer labs, they would actually teach you how to use a computer, how they worked, how the processor integrated with the memory.

File systems. File systems. So you knew how a file system worked, how a desktop worked, and how the fact is that, There's memory that's permanent. There's memory that's temporary. And all that stuff works together. And now they don't teach anything. People don't have a clue.

Okay, it's in the cloud, whatever that is. I don't know. I just scroll and there's another picture. I still think it would be a great idea to get kids, get your Chromebook, here's a thumb drive, now install Linux on it. I think you can do that. I think you can install.

I don't think so. I mean, a Chromebook, It runs on a version of Linux anyway, doesn't it? But you want to, I mean, let me see. Can I install? There you go. Ask the AI. Linux on a Chromebook.

I'm actually asking Kaji, Kaji, man, Kaji. Yes, set up Linux on your Chromebook. Google actually has a help document for it. How about that? Okay. So they hook it up. You could install that.

Well, because you get a real idea of how it works. Yes. Yeah, I mean, I think it's getting rid of Chromebooks to begin with you use a real computer. Okay. Install Omarchi. Omarchi, that's the hot new Linux operating system,

Omachi. Oh? Oh, have you heard of it? Omarchi? No, I have not heard of it. I should have. Oh, there's the... Why is it so good?

Well, software developers in particular are installing it on their MacBooks. It's O M-A-R-C-H-Y, I think, Omarchie. because it redefines the whole idea of the user interface. And it's all with very simple keyboard commands using mainly the super key or the command key or whatever it is on your keyboard. And all that irritating stuff about how windows are always getting in the way and you have to move the window over here. And there's no menu bars.

The whole thing just works exactly how your brain thinks. I'll send you a video. Turn me a video. I'll send you a video if you can learn about Amarchi. And it's built on Arch Linux. It's really, it's really phenomenal. And funny enough, believe it or not, some people I've been talking to,

they have figured out a way, I can't wait for this. I just don't have the time to make the roadcaster work with it. And I've been wanting to get off of this Windows machine for the show for the longest time. A decade. At least.

And so, but I need time. I mean, the show takes up all my time. People like, this is a great podcast. It has everything. It has millions of clips. Listen to it.

Time codes are useful people. So, yeah. I found that to be very eye-opening. That's horrible. Yeah. Yeah, I know. Five-year-olds need scissors.

They do. They need to run with them. They're blunt, not pointed scissors. Run with them. And need crayons. They're right on the wall. Yeah, this is good stuff. Exactly.

Exactly what they need. This is another kind of a screwball report that just came out. And I thought it didn't get a lot of play in the mainstream, but I think it's kind of important. This is the Visa Bonds. Have you heard about this? Visa Bonds? Yeah, you haven't heard about this.

No. Travelers from several countries will now need to pay up to a, a $15,000 bond to enter the U.S. Now, it's meant to deter them from overstaying their visa when they're here for tourism or business. The State Department has just added 25 more countries to this list, including Venezuela, Cuba, Nepal, Nigeria, and others. That brings the total to 38 countries.

Officials say that these are countries with high rates of visa overstays, insufficient screening and vetting, and those that don't require proof of residency to obtain citizenship. So travelers from those countries are going to need to pay the U.S. Treasury anywhere between $5,000 to $15,000. The amount will be determined during their visa interview, and that money will be returned to the traveler if they don't overstay their visa. This comes as federal authorities are cracking down on illegal immigrants, including those that came in legally, but then overstayed their visa. Great idea, long overdue, big fan. Great. Now, of course, no one has 15 grand, but then you get a financing guy in the middle.

So you'll pay, you know, like 100 bucks. You have a bondsman. It's like a bondsman. Like a bail bondsman. Exactly. You probably will have to pay 10%. Yeah. 150 bucks for the 15,000.

It's a great idea that we should. I remember we were in, Tina and I were in New York. This is going back a while. I can't remember this must be eight, nine years ago. And we were talking to this. waiter or a server in an Irish pub, I think. And he was Irish, which was kind of fun. And we're talking to chat and said, you know, so when did you get here?

So I got here about eight months ago. Oh, he says, yeah, I'm working here illegally. Don't wrap me out. I'm like, well, this is the problem. This is a problem. You know, you can't overstay your tourist visa for this. You know, do it properly. You're like, yeah, people like that, you know, as much as I like the guy, but he has every

opportunity to do it legally. You know, get yourself a Trump, platinum card. You got a million bucks. No problem. No, I think this is a good idea. Now, it's not going to be from the EU,

but it'll be from some other countries. Yeah, well, I looked at the list. It's mostly Africa and pieces of Asia, some South America. Yeah. What's the latest on the H-1B visas and all that nonsense? Is that There's no news.

Because I read somewhere there was like, there's all kinds of scams people are uncovering. There's like human body mills essentially. Oh, yeah, there has to be. Where, you know, they just, you know, here's, you know, and by the way, they all look the same. Yeah, this is your picture now. You're now this guy.

Now you got this H-1B visa. Shut up and get back in your cot. No, it's a mess. We got a lot of problems. You know, we got a lot of problems. But we're still the best country in the world. I can say that, hands down, having lived in a couple of them. What do you think?

Yeah, I think so. I would have finished off this segment with a little sports talk. Okay. You have any clips left? Yeah, I got tons, but it's okay. We're running out of time here. So is this C-Hawks? So for people who like to bet on the Super Bowl,

Uh-huh. We're getting to the end. So I found an interesting coincidental index, which indicates the Seahawks should be in the Super Bowl, whether they win or not, it's another question. And here's the reason. In 2005, there was a new Pope, Pope Benedict. Okay.

That year, Seattle went to the Super Bowl. Okay. In 2013, again, a new Pope, Pope Francis, that year, Seattle won the Super Bowl. Hello, Leo. I'm just saying, hello, Leo, this could happen again. All right, it's the Papist prop bet. I like it.

Triggered or hell's blame was the same. It's like a party. Yeah, baby, it's always like a party. And, of course, at this point in the show, as we wind it down,

Okay, well, then I relent. and I'll give you the wowie wow wow wow wow wow thank you very much but we're not going anywhere first it's time for john's tip of the day great advice for you and me just the tip with jcd

and sometimes adam all right well we've been trying to keep things low priced i don't like to bring in you know we had people complained about us recommending a tv tv i told you that wasn't a good idea It was a good idea for people who need to know. If people who needed a TV, it was a great idea. Yes. Well, I got another expensive item here. Oh, okay. $299.

Well, that's up there. I recommend, if people haven't moved to these high-density hard disks, I'd say start now, because this is doesn't even, it's not even a bare drive. This is in one of the enclosures. this is a 22 terabyte C-Gate drive. Holy moly. I need this.

Yes, you do. $299. These high-density sea-gate drives have been out for about three or four years. What does high-density mean? That means it's got more than 20 terabytes. Oh, okay. I thought it was something special. I didn't understand.

Well, it is special. I mean, because $299 is what you used to pay for. I remember when I was a kid. I got, that was Comdex. Yep. I forgot what hard disc company, one of the hard Mac store or Prairie Tech or one of these guys that has long since out of business. This was way back.

And this was when the 9 terabyte drive first showed up. I'm sorry, let me back up. The 9 gigabyte drive. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. 1987. I bought, I think it was a C-gate, external scuzzy connected drive for my Mac plus, it was $299 for 20 megabytes.

So this guy says, that sounds right. Yeah. So this guy says to me, it was nine gigabytes, they all started coming out, these nine gigabyte drives. And there was about $2.99.

And it was like the guy, one of the companies out of, business says to me, I don't know what these guys are thinking. Who is going to trust nine gigabytes on one spindle? That's the exact quote. Yeah, well, you get the heads touching that disc. You're screwed. So you got your nine gigabytes.

It's too risky. So now we have 22 terabytes. Now, do you have one of these? No, I have an 18. But I'm getting one of these now because I looked at over. I looked at all the reviews and everything. This is a, the thing is that when they had the 18s, which were nice, they were bare drives. So you had to buy one of the enclosures or you had to put it in the machine.

No, you don't want that. That's it's pain. Well, you do if you have the enclosures. The enclosures are okay. Yeah. How big is this thing? How big is it? It's a three and a half, three point five inch drive.

It's small. Is it, is it, does it have, it has a case around it. It has a case. Yeah, it's just, it with the connector. You just put in a USB 3.0 connector on it. And you're ready to go. It's, it's a beauty. And $2.99, 22 terabytes, don't fool around.

Let's start here and we'll go from there. I'd highly recommend it. The Seagate, high, high capacity, I shouldn't use high density because it's confusing. The high capacity C gate drives your dynamite. Well, you kind of had me at high density. Now you're, like, pulling back. It was high capacity. That's not the same thing.

It is to me. There it is, ladies and gentlemen. and find all of them at Noagendafund.com and tip of the day.com. Create a fies for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnettie. Wow.

These tips are off the hook, man. And by the way, I did get to joke about gnaw bone. Yep. Yeah, that was good. And also, I should mention, Ferris State won the Division 2 football championship. It would be great to have a sweatshirt. A sweatshirt from them.

A hoodie. Or sweatshirts. So I can go for a sweatshirt now and again. And I do have the, our baron of Bozeman is going to send me a hoodie for Montana State. So that's a plus. So I don't have to dress myself anymore. Hey, if you stick around to noagenda stream.com, we have random thoughts coming up. Sir Darren O'Neill on the show.

That should be fun. And end of show mixes from MVP, Plur, and Dees laughs. So it's a mix of slop and knots, which is always good to see. And please remember that we are the best podcast in the universe. We are not captured by the audience, and we need your support by going to no agenda donations.com.
