Starting point is 00:00:00 Berlin, stop rubbing your ATMs. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorek. It's Sunday, January 11th, 2026. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1833. This is no agenda. We're all Suprooter now, and we are 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 watching the fall of civilization.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I'm John C. DeVorek. Black Button Buzzkill in the morning. Well, I don't know about that, but it is definitely Dimension A and Dimension B back on deck as if it ever went away. Yeah. Yeah. So they're lined up in last night before, whatever, in Calgary to sign the petition to separate. Yeah, they expected a small event and thousands of people showed up.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Here's the problem I have with it. I thought this was already on the ballot. I have no idea. What do they want? They want independence? Yeah. What do they want? No justice, no, no peace?
Starting point is 00:01:17 No oil, no, what was it? No, no, no something, no oil, no. I didn't hear it. No justice, no oil. Or what is the one with the oil? There's a bumper sticker. Did we have a chant? Did we have a chant?
Starting point is 00:01:32 Would have. Of. Alberta splitting off? I don't think so. I don't think there was a chant. I don't think so. Maybe a chance. A chant. A chant. A chance. No, no. A chant. No, they're Canadians? Just a complaint. It's just a complaint. There's no chance. Where's our chant? We're not going to chant at all. Man, this is so tiring. When the quad screens are... What, what, which of, what column are you looking at? Well, I'm looking at all, I'm looking at the quad screen.
Starting point is 00:02:06 That's all kind of the same. What happened just as a maybe a smaller side. Let me just play. This was, this was, I couldn't get any, of course. I mean, because it's all Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis. By the way, in Oakland, between January 1st and January 5th, there were five murders. None of it covers, no protests. I think Chicago's all.
Starting point is 00:02:32 already had 13, 13, 14 deaths? Who cares? You know, they're black. They're black. They're black. They're black. Who cares? No, this is, this story, which Carolyn Levitt posted or retweeted from an interview that was translated from something in some, I guess it was Spanish. And of course, there's not a single report that I could find on it this morning. So I had to go to the well to WION because they're always on top of the news. The alleged witness account was also shared on social media by the White House press secretary. In the interview, the guard allegedly described how U.S. forces use technology unlike anything he has ever seen. He said that all their radar systems shut down without any explanation.
Starting point is 00:03:26 It was followed by a lot of drones flying over their positions. He claimed that eight, helicopter arrived moments later, deploying what he estimated were just 20 U.S. troops into the area, but he said that these few men came armed with something far more powerful than guns. The guard claims that the U.S. troops shot with position in speed. He said, I'm quoting, it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute. At one point, U.S. troops launched another weapon, according to the guards' count. It was like a very intense sound wave and he felt like his head was exploding from the inside. He claimed that the Venezuel inside started bleeding from the nose while some were vomiting blood. They were unable to move.
Starting point is 00:04:13 An estimated 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the January 3 attack. The White House press secretary, Caroline LeVitt, has shared the account on social media. However, the White House has not confirmed whether administration was verifying the veracity of the eyewitness account. Now, well, I have the clip that triggered all this. And I think this, it's almost word for word, which she stole from this guy. This is the Maduro security guard second half. And I noticed it says second half. You wanted to bring it in second half of show?
Starting point is 00:04:48 Yeah, I didn't expect you to drop it at the beginning. Well, it's, it's second and half of show material. I disagree. For 18 years, I've been talking about directed energy weapons. Yeah, okay. Yeah, they had a beam. It's called LRAD. But okay, you know, you can mock me all you want.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I'm not blocking you. I'm just saying it just seems. Mocking. I didn't say block, mock. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm normally block. Yeah, well, that's your go-to. That's my style.
Starting point is 00:05:18 That's your go-to. I normally just block. Someone literally sent me a forward from a reject from your email server. It said, suspicious. Blocked due to suspicion. Yeah, there's a lot of that. Yeah, that's good. This is the, okay, this is, anyway, this is the, this came floating around.
Starting point is 00:05:38 This was passed around the net. I don't know where Carolyn got it, but the WION person, obviously, they just took this verbatim. Everyone did. The ones that did it, it came, it came from an interview that is in Spanish. Yeah, and this is the guy who did the interview. A security guard that was protecting Maduro has spoken, and you got to hear what he's said. It's in Spanish, but I'll translate. Also, Trump announced that, you know, the cartels, they're going after them in Mexico.
Starting point is 00:06:05 The whole vibe of Latin America has changed because of what happened in Venezuela. And now they were getting firsthand accounts from people they were there, the soldier says they didn't hear him coming. He says the Americans had technology superior to anything they've ever seen. Everything that they were using for radar for anything was completely taken offline. They had drones, and the drones were taking out bases and taking out things faster. They didn't have no technology. They've never had to fight against drones.
Starting point is 00:06:42 He also talks about that there was only eight helicopters. There was only 20 men that were sent in, and those 20 men killed hundreds of their men, and none of those soldiers were injured. He talks about it felt like they were firing 300 rounds a minute. nothing they've ever seen, nothing that they can compete with. And then he also talks to the fact that the Americans had some kind of sonic shock boom that was sent out. And everybody immediately started bleeding profusely out of their nose. They couldn't even gather themselves because whatever was sent at them made them fall to their knees and vomit blood out of their mouth and out of their noses.
Starting point is 00:07:27 they were uncapacitated immediately. He says he never wants to go through that again. Doesn't want to have to fight with the Americans again. He's sending warnings to everybody out there that you think you can fight the Americans. You don't even know what their weaponry is like and what they're capable of. 20 men took out hundreds. And that's starting to spread all through Latin America. And now they're not saying, if you want me come and get.
Starting point is 00:07:57 me anymore. They're like, oh, shit. Especially after Trump says, hey, Mexico, you're on the list, too. So you put the second half because you don't believe it? You're right. I don't believe it. I mean, it's not that we don't have this sort of weaponry, but I don't think it was necessary. And I think it's just to scare the hell out of these guys.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I think it was planted. That's possible, but it's about time we had this technology. I mean, they've been experimenting with it long enough. Yeah, no, I agree. And I think we should use it on Minneapolis. Let's see it in action. Well, that would be a practical use. Let's see it in action, man.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But more interesting maybe to me is 300 rounds a minute? I mean, that's five rounds a second. What barrel melting device is that that you can hold in your hands? And how do you even, it has to be a belt or a really big magazine? So that actually sounded kind of odd, but LRAD, that's real. I mean, they have, they have been experimenting with it for a long, long time. And remember, we had the, maybe that was what we were experimenting on our own people in the embassies. Everyone getting sick.
Starting point is 00:09:18 That's possible. I'm just, I'm just doubting the whole thing. Well, we'll see. Including the 300 rounds a minute. It's too much opportunity to hit your own minute. with this stuff. I mean, there's two, there's 25 guys.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Why can't you just believe that we're awesome? What is, are you, you're anti-American, man. I think we're pretty awesome. This is American ingenuity. Actually, if you think about it's an awesome thing to do,
Starting point is 00:09:44 which is to create a bull crap narrative that. It just doesn't seem like Carolyn Levitt would do that. It just doesn't seem like she had anything. I don't know that she may have been freelancing. She doesn't, maybe she, or maybe she was part of it. part of the scheme to just frighten the enemies without, you know, having to shoot a shot.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Maybe, maybe. Perfect CIA material. They like to do that kind of thing. Yeah. Well, remember they had the cancer gun. They showed that in, what, 19, what was it? 79 or something during the hearing about M.K. Ultra. Just remember that?
Starting point is 00:10:21 Church hearings. Yeah, the church hearings, yes. Remember they had the cancer gun? They held it up. Look at this thing. We shoot you with this. No, it was a heart attack gun. I'm sorry, the heart attack gun.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah. No, we, but, you know, hey man, if we can go to the moon, why wouldn't be able to do this? Yeah, your point well taken. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I know, I'm slowly getting you. Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly. I'm bringing you to the, to the did not land side.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Eventually, you'll get there. Once they get to the math of the stuff they destroyed, maybe. So do you want to talk about Venezuela or do you want to like jump on? Do I have Venezuela clips? Oh, I got tons of Venezuela clips. Not so much about Venezuela, but about the big meeting. And my buddy was there at the big meeting. The big meeting of all the oil dudes.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Oh, well, I have an oil saga clip. Well, let me play the opener, just a positioning clip. President Trump today meeting with oil executives at the White House just hours after the U.S. military seized another oil tanker linked to Venezuela. New video from U.S. Southern Command showing the seizure of that tanker in the Caribbean. The third one this week, U.S. troops were pulling down ropes from a helicopter and then taking control of that ship. During his meeting with oil executives, the president saying that he wants, quote, total access to Venezuela's oil. All of the companies here today are going to. to be treasured partners in bringing the nation of Venezuela back to life, restoring its economy,
Starting point is 00:12:00 and generating great wealth for their companies and for their people and also great wealth for the American people. Meanwhile, the U.S. has now sent a delegation to Venezuela in a first step toward restoring diplomatic relations after the capture of Nicholas Maduro. So the video was kind of interesting. I saw our guy there. It's not the oil baron himself. It's the oil baron's partner was there.
Starting point is 00:12:26 So I saw him and he basically went, I think the president asked him, so what do you think about Venezuela? And he went, yeah, a lot of shale there. He didn't say, we're going to go right away, Mr. President. But in the video, Tucker was there. You see Tucker standing around in that meeting? That's interesting. No.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Yeah. Now, it's even more interesting that the word on the street is he actually had a private lunch with the president. And then the president said, hey, come on, hang with these oil guys. So. There was some reason for that. Well, of course. You know, Tucker's team Trump.
Starting point is 00:13:07 He's just, he's doing his thing, whatever he's been told to do. I presume. I presume. Okay. So what you got? Well, I got a couple. I got three clips. For one thing, I just start with this mild clip.
Starting point is 00:13:26 You know, they have a, this is a Venezuela guy in Venezuela. And this is the report for, I went to El Jazeera to get a bunch of stuff. If you want anything, you got to go outside the M5M USA. Yeah, because all they're talking about is that woman in Minnesota. And I just thought it was interesting that they actually have boots on the ground in Venezuela, a guy floating around reporter. We don't have anybody. Where's our people?
Starting point is 00:13:52 That's a good point. Where's ABC, CBS, CNN? Yeah. roaming. That's a good point. I don't think I don't think I've seen a single report from any of our big networks. No, the two are four. Oh, you don't go. I don't want to go there. I'm going to get killed. So we have to. I don't know about that. So this, I do. I think it's a budget thing. This is because there's no money. Oh, well, there's that too. Yeah. Oh, whatever we got to do. We got it. And it might be stuck there for a couple of days of hotel costs.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Oh. Yeah. Save your credit card receipts. Oh, wait. Yeah. Okay. So here's the Venezuela reporter from Al Jazeera. I'm just flue. Is their report. Well, Venezuelans have endured decades of financial hardship,
Starting point is 00:14:39 but after Washington's promise to roll back oil sanctions, there's cautious optimism for an economic turnaround. Noro Soto reports now from the capital, Caracas. Venezuela has the world's largest known oil reserves, and yet its economy has been plunged into uncertainty. For millions, life has become a daily struggle. Anna has lived through years of crippling sanctions, shortages, and inflation. While many others left, she chose to stay.
Starting point is 00:15:10 She holds on to the days when the local currency was worth something and her dreams felt possible. The hardest part of starting a business in Venezuela is economic instability. We work based on the U.S. dollar. If we had a stable currency, everything would be less difficult. Well, how about a stable coin for you? Hey, it's coming. It's coming.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And I'm telling you. Stable coin is coming. They're out floating around. Now, this is the ones that got my attention to these clips. This is, if you remember, we played a clip from Rubio last show about the three-step. the stages. Yeah. There's three stages of what they're going to have to do.
Starting point is 00:15:53 First, you've got to do this, they're going to do that. And this is one of the stages, and this is the Venezuela. They're already releasing prisoners. Oh, there you go. Rights groups say Venezuela's government has released another group of prisoners. They're urging authorities to free more detainees. The release has been a long-held U.S. demand and comes less than a week after former President Nicolas Maduro was captured by the U.S.
Starting point is 00:16:15 About a thousand political prisoners are believed to be held in jails. across Venezuela. Yeah, big news in the, in the Jesus world. Everyone's talking about the pastors they released. Supposed. Yes, well, they're doing that. That's not being covered by our media. 800 pastors were released from jail.
Starting point is 00:16:32 No, well, it's covered by like the 700 club. By the pastor media. Which I don't follow, I have to admit. Pastor News Network, PNN. Yeah. I follow it. I follow it. So, yeah, you would.
Starting point is 00:16:47 So, and then. there's this little gem, which is another kind of an interesting gotcha. This is the Venezuela oil saga continues clip. President Trump has moved to tighten U.S. control over revenue from the sale of Venezuelan oil. An executive order aims to prevent legal claims on the funds by putting the money beyond the reach of the courts. The administration says the purpose is to ensure economic and political stability in Venezuela and to curb illegal immigration. It says the money will be the property of Venezuela, but will be held in U.S. Treasury accounts. Mr. Trump signed the order after meeting with more than a dozen oil executives at the White
Starting point is 00:17:25 House in an effort to raise $100 billion in investments to fix Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Wait a minute. So it's being put into treasury accounts? Owned by Venezuela. Oh, that, Russian money in the EU, anybody? That's interesting. Of course. Yeah, I thought so. Of course, that's the perfect way to. say, and now we're going to put some, you know, we'll sell you some tea bills and we'll give Venezuela some tea bills for your money. No, we'll give them a stable coin backed by tea bills.
Starting point is 00:17:57 Well, they can do that. Yes. That's coming. But the whole thing. The whole thing about the, about, no, we're not, because Trump is fearful. He's like with good reason of all these liberal judges. Oh, yeah. Oh, they just slam the hammer down.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Well, now you've got to return the money or whatever. I haven't got the money. They've got the money. No, some judge is going to get Maduro out of jail. And he'll probably go, no, I don't want to go. It's dangerous out there. I like it in here. Don't let me go.
Starting point is 00:18:26 I did read that J.P. Morgan, I guess J.P. Morgan has a couple of banks. Or a couple of, what do you call them? Banks. Banks. In Venezuela? Could be. Yeah. So everybody's in on this.
Starting point is 00:18:49 And they're not telling us the whole story, which is too bad. I did come across an interesting article about New York Representative Richie Torres, who has proposed a law. Let me see. Let me see you the exact. I don't think they have a name for it. Oh, yes. The Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026,
Starting point is 00:19:14 because he says, I don't think it's okay if it were to be that way that anyone inside the administration can make money on the exact prop bets on the exact timing of the invasion, $400,000. That's good. Yeah, because you know that that was probably Jared. He said, watch this.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Jared would be the smartest one to do that. He would. And then. What are they going to do? What's the worst that get happened? Hey, if only we had an inside track, where's our boots on the ground? Come on, people. Should have let us know.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Here's Vice President Vance debunking the fake Bloomberg story, which we reported on the last show. And we immediately said, we don't know. But it was Bloomberg. You think Bloomberg would have some. Did it actually come from Bloomberg? Are we sure? Well, I got it from Bloomberg, so Bloomberg reported on it. Yeah, here it is.
Starting point is 00:20:19 I've heard a couple of things. One, that I was kept out of the planning for the Venezuela operation. That's false. And another that Tulsi was kept out of the planning for Venezuela operations. That's completely false. We're all part of the same team. And one of the things that is really amazing about that operation is that we kept it very tight to the senior cabinet-level officials and related officials in our government.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And we kept this operation secret for a very long time. I'm very proud of that. I think it suggests that the team works very well together. Looking ahead, what is my role? Look, my role is going to be whatever the president asks me to do. Well, every single, or I should say every other day, I'm chairing the meeting that we do on this among White House principles to talk about next steps. He kind of let something loose there. I mean, every other day.
Starting point is 00:21:04 So they have a meeting every other day. It's a staff meeting. Well, every single or I should say every other day, I'm chairing the meeting that we do on this among White House principles. talk about next steps to try to ensure that Venezuela is stable. And as the president has directed us to do, to ensure that the new Venezuelan government actually listens to the United States and does what the United States needs it to do under our country's best interest. So I'm going to be as involved as the president wants me to be. So far, that's been very involved. And I'll keep on doing that so long as the president asked me to do it. Yeah. You know, I think all of this
Starting point is 00:21:38 is really everything, including the sonic weapon. I think it's all. meant to intimidate the drug cartels. People have no idea. The drug cartels have better weapons than most of these South American countries have in their military. There's so much money in this. It's hard for people to fathom how much money really goes around in the drug networks. And I hope it's tax-free.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Oh, yeah, it's tax-free for sure. So this morning on Face the Nation, Margaret, Margaret Brennan, had our Secretary of Energy, Chris White on the show. And she actually spoke about the three-point plan of which was one releasing the prisoners. Okay. So Secretary Rubio said there's a three-point plan, stabilize, rehabilitate transition. This sounds indefinite. Even when you heard some of those oil executives, Chevron's leadership, they're already in Venezuela. we should say, said it'll take 18 to 24 months to even increase oil production by 50%.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So how long is this American involvement? Because he's saying there it's at least a year and a half, two years. They've been there for 100 years. And likely Chevron's going to be there 50 years from now. But the United States government, how long does that role continue? You heard the third part of Rubio's question, which is transition. We want to bring a representative government to the people of Venezuela. I think then you'll see the, the, the, the, the, sovereignty back to the government of Venezuela. We don't have a legitimate government of Venezuela today. We'd like to move and get there. But America's there. 25 years this country's gone in decline.
Starting point is 00:23:19 President Trump, out-of-the-box creative intervention, has allowed us to change the game. Yeah. But I don't know the timeline of that. It's not weeks. It's more months. Could be a year or two. Could be more. Whatever. We're working on it. Of course, way before CBS got into the Citgo deal, which we pegged immediately, Paul Singer, huge Trump donor who completed his acquisition of Citgo in December. Maybe it was his prop bet. That came up in the conversation. So back in November, U.S. judge backed a bid by an American hedge fund to purchase Citgo petroleum.
Starting point is 00:24:02 The Treasury still has to approve. that deal. The hedge fund is actually run by a big Trump donor, Paul Singer. Boom. Do you want to preserve? Come on, Barry Weiss. If you're going to listen to us for your stories, just give us some credit. Hedge fund is actually run by a big Trump donor, Paul Singer. Do you want to preserve Venezuelan ownership of Citgo? Do you want to have America have a financial stake in it? Like, Trump bought a big portion of an Intel company. Do you want to own portions of oil companies?
Starting point is 00:24:33 Again, that's going to be up to American businesses. That's certainly a very real possibility. The Citgo sale is part of bringing redress to creditors of the United States for the Venezuelan government. And, of course, one of the capital providers in that transaction is a hedge fund provider. You just mentioned. There's lots of American investors and American refining entrepreneurs that are involved in that. So to take Venezuelan owned refineries that are in the United States, and legally through an auction process, transfer them to American owners and American entrepreneurs in the refining business?
Starting point is 00:25:10 I think that's fantastic. You know, it's pretty contentious of what's going on here because the president's asking basically to help put the shale producers in America on their back foot, if not out of business to some degree. Because if he's, you know, depending on what price they sell this oil for, market prices, you know, that basically hurts. the shale producers. They're all like complaint. The oil barons, like he's happy for America and for Venezuela, but he's not happy about his business. Which I say, oh, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I'm sorry. One plane less. One plane less. He's going to burn me for that comment. No, it's okay. So, but even the shale producers, you know, they say, hey, if you pay us, we'll go and we'll explore.
Starting point is 00:26:06 We'll go see what's going on. So now it comes down to, are just all that money going to Venezuela? Are you going to pay us to go and explore some stuff? No one's really too, like, jumpy about it? It seems even just looking at, because I watched that whole session with the president. You know, besides the cordialness of, oh, Mr. President, you're awesome.
Starting point is 00:26:28 It didn't seem like everyone was like, yeah, this is great for us. No. And, of course, there's the question of corruption. There's concern about corruption here, though. Will there be Americans installed on these boards? And how do you respond to these allegations that some Trump donors are going to get preferential treatment? I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. Absolutely not the case.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Sounds to me like it's completely the case. Totally the case. Wow. Yeah, me protesteth a bit too much. I can assure you absolute. Minors are going to get preferential treatment. I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. And he even has a laugh tell in there.
Starting point is 00:27:09 What a loser. Listen to him. I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. Absolutely not the case. Think of what President Trump has done for the American oil and gas industry. He's driven down the price of oil. There's an oversupply of oil. And you're going to put more on the market.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Exactly. That's not good for American oil and gas companies. Because it makes it less profitable for them to actually go and invest in drill baby drill. Exactly. Democrats and President Biden are fantastic for American oil and gas companies. Exactly to whatever she says. But what he's saying, it's a good bit. Yeah, but what he's saying here is exactly what the oil baron has always told me. He said, I love that President Trump is our president, but it's really bad for my business. He says Democrats are good for the oil business. Republican presidents are bad. All you have to do is look at the day Joe Biden was elected and look at go something. Anyone can go back and do this. Look at the day Joe
Starting point is 00:28:03 Biden got in office and look at this at the same time, look at the stock chart for Exxon. Oh, huge jump. To the moon. That's not good for American oil and gas companies. Because it makes it less profitable for them to actually go and invest in drill baby drill. Exactly. Democrats and President Biden are fantastic for American oil and gas companies because they try to restrict the supply to something that's essential to life, which only has one possible impact, which is to drive up prices and grow profitability. So President Trump is no helper to the oil and gas industry. And certainly there's no corruption, preferential placement of people. There's none of that. I can assure you of that. I'm in the center of this. How are you going to decide the contracts?
Starting point is 00:28:47 Is the Treasury going to approve the sicko dominance there in that? That went through a large option to buy. Are you going to bring to Congress, the decisions you're making about which firms get access? Absolutely. All that, that was an. auction open to all American firms. There were many bidders, including the coalition of bidders you mentioned. We want those assets to get
Starting point is 00:29:08 as much money as possible to go back to the creditors of Venezuelan government and we want American refinery assets. Who are the creditors? Oh, that would be the oil companies. We want those assets to get as much money as possible to go back to the creditors of Venezuelan government and we want
Starting point is 00:29:24 American refinery assets owned by Americans. They're going to increase the throughput, drive down the price of gasoline, America. By the way, Sitco is pretty small. They're a small player compared to the other big, the other big boys with a refinery. Sitko's pretty small. So it's not a huge deal, but it was nice for his buddy. I think the president, he knows exactly what's going on. He talks a big game about Drill Baby Drill. Everyone's saying no, no, no. Our shale returns are diminishing. So I think the only way to really do it is to give every
Starting point is 00:30:00 a little taste, a little piece of the action, and set up shop over there. That would be the future. It's just not in the shale from everything I understand. Well, there's a lot of product you can get from this heavy crew that you can't give from shale. Oh, yeah. No, it's great. And what's interesting is this, I think this directly has also affected Iran, which seems to be a little less than the video might show. I talked to Lex yesterday, you know, his wife, Fariba.
Starting point is 00:30:30 she has her mom and her sisters live in Tehran, although they haven't been able to talk to him because the phones have been cut off, not just the internet, but phones in general. And he says, yeah, if you stay inside, you're going to be okay. It's not all over the country yet. He says it's definitely real. And he says, there's no leader.
Starting point is 00:30:52 There's no one who has stood up and said, this is it. But the reason why this affects Iran is because of these ghost ships, where in essence, or in reality, Venezuela and Iran were swapping oil. Because doesn't Iran have light crude, the sweet stuff? If you're set up to refine heavy crude, that's what you do. I don't believe they were swapping oil. That's what I've heard. That's exactly what they would do.
Starting point is 00:31:26 What would be the point? So you can take the light crude, which is. Well, they don't have, I don't know. You know what? I don't know. I don't know enough about it, but this is what I've understood, is that Iran was sending their light over. Venezuela has no ability to, or very little capacity to refine the heavy stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:46 That's all done here. So, you know, low output on refinery. But anyway, it's also, it's all the drug, it's just drug money. Oil is drug money. Man, got some drug seller put it in oil, ship it over the year, ship it over there. It's just like a really slow Bitcoin. Moving all over the seas. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:11 This stuff I've never, I mean, we were always into pipelines, but now you see these ghost ships and everybody pumping it from one ship to another, painting new flags, new name, new transponder codes, you know. And a lot of American companies, I think, are involved in this. It's not just like the Russians did it, the Venezuelans and the Chinese. There's American corporations involved in this stuff. There's money to be made. There should be.
Starting point is 00:32:36 It's literal money. I mean, it's all arbitrage. It's amazing business. It's dirty, but it's an amazing business. Really? So what do you have in Iran? Because, you know, so that's, I have a couple of other boots on the ground, but that was the main one. I have the Al Jazeera cliffs, which I thought would be interesting.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Okay. Might as well start with those. Iran 1 and 2AJ. Iran's government is intensifying a crackdown. on protests against a severe economic crisis, which are now into a second week. More than 200 people have been arrested. Rallies are taking place in towns and cities across the country, with demonstrators setting fire to buildings.
Starting point is 00:33:14 The Attorney General has warned that those involved in the unrest could face the death penalty. Well, a nationwide communication shutdown has been in place since Thursday, but some people are managing to post videos of the rallies online. The protests began over the soaring cost of living and plunging value of the local currency. Hunter Zerida Saudi has more from the capital tear up. It's now two weeks we have been witnessing protests across Iran in different cities, including here in the capital. The unrest flared off into violence in several locations, leaving fatalities and injuries, both from protesters and security forces.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Arrests are reported, even though when it comes to numbers, we don't have any confirmed information. The protests actually started in the economic hopes such as the Grand Lazzar against the countries, worsening economic situation, it quickly spread to other cities. Sparking rallies initially scattered, but now in more cities we see it going on. The state response started by recognizing the right of people to peacefully protest, but as the situation started to escalate, the state has been trying to draw a line between protesters and what the Iranian Supreme Leaderate of Lakhamini called saboteurs. against him he said the Islamic Republic will not give in.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yes, it's the big Satan doing it. It's America. Stop it. Stop doing it. Yeah, they finally got around to blaming us in Israel. I'm actually shocked that it started to get covered by our PBS, for example, I have a total of four here. By the way, that was another guy from Al Jazeera on the street in Tehran reporting, you know, reporting as opposed to our NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN people. Where are they? There's not one of them on the street in Tehran.
Starting point is 00:35:06 So they're just making it up and, you know, just kind of giving us glossing over everything. Well, there's no benefit to the intelligence organization. So why would they go? There's no safe house for them. There's nothing. Here's part two of that report. The Supreme National Security Council of the country,
Starting point is 00:35:25 called it a joint American-Israeli plot to de-stabilize the country. As the security measures have tightened off, the internet shutdown, which started on Thursday night, continues, and international calls are severely restricted. It happened following the escalation of protests in the capital the same night as we saw many protesters taking to the streets, and the mayor of Tehran said government buildings, banks, mosques, public transportation vehicles, and medical centers were damaged. Several protests were arrested. Also, speaking of the latest developments, the government unveiled a subsidy scheme, which includes a monthly payment of around $7 U.S. dollars to citizens available from today for the lower income classes who are struggling
Starting point is 00:36:13 to cover daily essentials these days. Public dissatisfaction exists, whether or not people take to these threats. And many here are now watching to see how the government will respond, not just to the protests, but to the economic hardships that they are facing in their daily lives. Toya, Zadhi, Al Jirak. You know, there's this narrative out on the internet, and I see it in the troll room as well, that, you know, it goes like this. This isn't about oil, it's about the Petro daughter. Well, let me tell you.
Starting point is 00:36:42 The Petro Dole—actually, our deal with Saudi Arabia ended. What did it end, like, a year ago? The 1971 deal, you price it in dollars and will protect you. that actual agreement ended. And the petro dollar is over. I mean, everyone's already trading in their own currency. That's why the stable coin gambit is being set up. So don't worry about the petro dollar.
Starting point is 00:37:07 It's just, it's not a thing anymore. People, it's, uh, so we have, they shut down the internet, but there was, according to Grock, which would know, I asked it about Starlink. and it would know because it's Starlink's part of the. The Grok. The Grock Empire.
Starting point is 00:37:29 The Grogh, Musk-Grock Empire. Dave's over 10,000, maybe 20,000 terminals have been snuck into the country. They're illegal. And Musk turned, Iran was blacked out from the Starlink system. Yeah. But Musk turned it back on. Well, let's just remind everybody how that works. that Elon turns it on and you get six months free.
Starting point is 00:37:56 After that, you got to start paying for it. That's exactly what he did in Ukraine. Yeah, well, he also said it's free. Yeah, for now. Free with card. So they got free. And meanwhile, because somebody, one of our producers said, this is bull crap.
Starting point is 00:38:13 This is not grassroots because otherwise then he went on about the lack of internet. And once you get the terminals of sending stuff down, then you Bluetooth it between phones. I mean, once you, because they can't stop that. Mesh-tastic. You make a mesh. So it's possible that they can have communications from outside, inside, whatever. And then, of course, they're all yelling, this two-cTV guy has them yelling for democracy
Starting point is 00:38:41 and at the same time for the Shaw. Let me just play, insert this clip for a second. This is from, let me see, where is this from? This is Franco. I have a comment on it. A 13th day of protests in Iran, as anger on the streets shows no sign of subsiding. Despite the government shutting off the internet, images of motorcycles on fire and overturned police cars are circulating on social media, as crowds openly defy the regime with cries of death to the dictator.
Starting point is 00:39:13 The protests have spread across Iran to over 100 cities, even reaching the conservative Mashad birthplace of Ayatollah Hamani. The supreme leader responded by accusing the US of interference. The tyrants and arrogant people of this world, when they are at the height of their pride, they are overthrown. Trump will also be brought down. Tehran broadcast images of pro-government rallies on Iranian television in an attempt to show it still has support. But videos filmed by locals show a shaken regime with the Statue of Revolutionary Guard commander Kassem Soleimani. being destroyed, or the Islamic Republic flag being torn in half, and Iranians chanting a new slogan, long live the Shah.
Starting point is 00:40:01 In reference to the pro-Western Shah of Iran, ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, his son Reza Pahlavi urged Trump to help the protesters. Don't abandon the streets, I assure you that victory is near. According to NGOs, Iranian authorities cracked down on protesters, arresting over 2,000 people and leaving dozens dead. Okay, so from boots on the ground, I have a new source. This source is great. Squirrel-Raws.
Starting point is 00:40:30 She used to be GCHQ. Now she lives in Virginia, supposedly retired. By the way, I kept making a mistake. The prince, who was not actually the crown prince, he just calls himself that. He lives in Maryland. And he's had his Potomac house up for sale for a while until this whole thing kicked off. Maybe he's taken off the market. But from what the sources say is he wanted to go visit Trump at Marlago.
Starting point is 00:40:58 And Trump's like, nah, I don't want to see you. So that guy, and I don't even know how. Oh, that's a good sign. Yeah. So that is a good sign. And then from Lex, one other thing. I said, hey, man, what about the water? He said, yeah, the water is, it's been a problem for decades.
Starting point is 00:41:16 You know, it rains. It's like they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not, having huge water issues. There's always been management issues of the water. But it's purely the economics. The economics are the problem. And you can't necessarily solve that with a new leader. No, you can't solve it at all.
Starting point is 00:41:34 It's like, you know, people expect when Trump got into prices, the whole fall. It wasn't going to happen. And I do have some interesting news on that. But let's go to your other Iran clips. Yeah, I got, just before I played the PBS clip, which is the first, at least they recognize as something's going on
Starting point is 00:41:52 as opposed to the other networks. I want to play, this was from a podcast and this is, and it includes this guy, Peppy Escobar, who, you know him, right? He's been around for 100 years, yes. He's been around forever.
Starting point is 00:42:08 It works for RT. Yeah. So you can expect him to have nothing but solid stuff. And he's got, he's on this, he's on this podcast and he starts interviewing, the podcasters who he thinks is in Tehran and he's going to tell us that nothing's going on because Bob, and this is coming from. There's nothing going on. In fact, there's a bunch of these podcasts out there that counter all the
Starting point is 00:42:29 other podcasts and they say, hey, I'm here. Nothing is going on. This is bull crap. This is this. This is just the newest. Wait, wait, let me get this straight. This is Pepe Escobar and he and he's talking to someone he thinks is in Tehran or someone thinks he's in Tehran. No, no. Pepe thinks the guy that's doing the podcast is in Tehran. Oh, okay. And so Pepe turns around, I said, let me interview you for a second because that just would be the, and I forget this guy's name, Nemo.
Starting point is 00:42:59 I've got an exclusive. I guess his name is Nimrod or something. I can't remember his name. Okay. So this is kind of a music because the guy's not in Tehran. Nima, you are in Tehran. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are no protests in Tehran.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Number one, right? Let me put it this way. Leading the witness. Right now, I'm not in Tehran. No, I'm not in Tehran. But I came to the southwest of Iran in the state called Khuzestan. For 10 days, I arrived. In Kuzestan.
Starting point is 00:43:32 I was, yeah, exactly. In the heart of that was. Wow. Wow. Let me say. Wow. Wow. I got here in Iran on, it was on.
Starting point is 00:43:45 December, if I'm not, 26, if I'm not mistaken. For 10 days, I was in Tehran. And I saw what was happening in the mainstream media and basically somehow in the alternative media, the coverage of what has happened in Iran,
Starting point is 00:44:04 what is happening right now in Iran is somehow exaggerated. As though all these protesters on the street coming out and they want to do regime change. and all of that. It's nonsense. Uh-huh. Okay. Nima.
Starting point is 00:44:22 Wow. Wow. Wow. You're not there. Wow. That's amazing. Wow. That's so good.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I just found that to be hilarious. That is good. Yeah, great podcast. It's a podcast Industrial Empire. It sounds like our episode number one through 10 on Skype back in the day. And by the way, if they cut off the internet, internet, what's this guy, what's the Nimrod guy doing broadcast? How's he getting it out? Yeah. All right. So here's the PBS report, which it does discuss it. And I think it would, and they had good, good visuals.
Starting point is 00:45:01 And so I was kind of surprised. And tonight's other headlines, tensions are escalating in Iran as protests near a second week. Today, Iran's attorney general warned that protesters could face the death penalty. President Trump has warned of retrovis. if peaceful protesters are met with violence. Despite efforts to clamp down on dissent, demonstrations have grown, fueled by anger with the hardline ruling regime and the worsening economy. Human rights watchers say at least 72 people have been killed
Starting point is 00:45:31 and more than 2,000 detained since the protests began. Wow, just a top-line surface report from PBS, not much else. At least it's something. Here's what the president said. Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people, People are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We're watching the situation very carefully.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I've made this statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved. We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. And that doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts. Now, where does it hurt very, very hard for Iran? More sanctions, I guess. It can be the oil. That's the only thing they've got. You know?
Starting point is 00:46:16 And by the way, I don't know what he's going to do. All of this oil and Iran and Venezuela and Hezbollah, from what I understand, Hezbollah is one of the biggest drug networks. It's all intertwined. It's all related. Probably the only people not involved in drugs are Russia.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Can you get good drugs in Russia? Does anybody know? There was an interesting comment. Somebody who was watching a guy's do analysis of the cocaine trafficking. No, it's the guy The guy was interviewed by Which show was this? The guy is ahead of Columbia.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Petro, Yes. Yeah, Petro. He did a long interview. I couldn't clip it because it was all in subtitles. I have the summary. Well, play the summary. Then I'll tell you what I heard.
Starting point is 00:47:07 No, it's a written summary. I have a written summary that someone sent me. Well, the couple of things came up in the conversation. One, he said that the, Venezuelans had already he says those boats that were going to that they were blowing up he says
Starting point is 00:47:23 he didn't like the idea he says none of that stuff was going to the United States he says that Venezuela's long since stopped shipping anything to the United States because they put it clamped as an agreement so the cocaine use in the United States is down he says but
Starting point is 00:47:40 he says it's way up in Europe in Europe and Australia Yeah. Yeah. Europe is, it sounds so cheap. The market has just been flooded with cocaine. And he says, and even in Russia, they're starting to use it now.
Starting point is 00:47:56 But he said, but Europe was the thing, which follows exactly what we've been saying on this show, which they're blowing up these boats to screw with Europe. Yeah. But I guess they're still getting so much of it doesn't make, no one's noticing. Well, but no, no, it's, we're screwing with Europe because the prices dropped. The kids were here and I asked them about it. You know, I won't say that they're cocaine users, but they're young. They live in Europe.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Oh, no. It's so much. It's, you know, you can, it's a dime bag is a dime bag. Literally a dime. It's so cheap. So I got a summary. So wait, wait, let's stop there for a second. What does this mean if you have the whole continent coked up?
Starting point is 00:48:43 Well, there's no, first of all, less money is flowing to the, to the city of London, North Sea Nexus drug money networks. Less money because there's just too much of it in the EU. And yeah, if every, you know what? Everybody needs to be coked up in Europe. And I'll tell you why. I have a report. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:49:03 This is a, where is it? A report from a dutch guy. Hold on a second. What did I file that under? Got it here somewhere. was doing the rounds here. Dutch guy explaining the housing problem in the Netherlands. This is how the great replacement is taking shape in the Netherlands.
Starting point is 00:49:29 If you're white and you can't find a house in Holland, I have a life hack for you. Just learn a bit of Arabic and go to the next municipality next door. A Dutch newspaper brought the following story. Thousands and thousands of Dutch people would figuratively kill to get this apartment. It's a beautiful studio in the center of Amsterdam, one of the most coveted areas in all of Europe. But this Syrian man doesn't really bad an eye. He got this house from the government, but he doesn't even live there because his wife also got a house from the government and he chooses to live there instead while renting out the studio at the same time.
Starting point is 00:49:59 The Syrian gentleman pays 700 euros of rent each month for his studio in the very center of Amsterdam. But he then goes out into the public markets and rents the studio out to other people for more than double, more than 1,500 euros a month. But that's not even the worst story yet. This Syrian man in Rotterdam got a very big three big, three big. bedroom apartment. Of course, from the government. He's 20 years old and he lives alone in the apartment. So one might think, why does a 20-year-old Syrian man need a three-bedroom apartment in Rotterdam? What's he going to use the three bedrooms for? Well, the government said the Syrian man had a right to three bedrooms because there was an outlook for reuniting with
Starting point is 00:50:37 his family. The newspaper then asked the Syrian man if he had a family and he answered he doesn't even have a girlfriend, no wife and no kids. And apart from the apartment, he also gets government benefit checks every month because he's not declared okay to work yet. However, he tells the newspaper that he does work on the black market for cash. Besides, he rents out the other two rooms to other migrants for over a thousand euros per room per month. In all of the meantime, the Dutch First Channel brings a new story that more and more Dutch people over 30 are living with their parents amidst the housing crisis.
Starting point is 00:51:10 The story says that Dutch people wait with getting children because they simply don't have a house for themselves yet. At the same time, the Syrian migrants get free houses because their wife might come, but they don't even have a wife. It's complete madness. And this is a clear example of how the great replacement is government policy in Europe. It's not on accident. It's not because the people are stupid. It's on purpose.
Starting point is 00:51:30 And so this is why you do a lot of Coke. Like, life's not worth living here anymore. The government is corrupt. They give everything to migrants. And you can't get a house. So, hey, look at this cheap snow over here. I think I'll make myself feel better. That would be the way it works in my mind.
Starting point is 00:51:53 And at the same time, it's screwing over the drug money networks. But listen to this. So as we played on the last show, we had a boots on the ground report from some other network. I can't remember someone who was there. So President Trump talked with Petro of Columbia. And here's the rundown as I've received it. It lasted 42 minutes.
Starting point is 00:52:13 and apparently the Colombian president agreed to eight points. An eight point plan. One, implement bombings against FARC and ELN dissonance. So FARC is the, that's the big drug boys. This is my favorite. They're revolutionary still. Start fumigation with glyphosate on the crops. That's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I never even considered that. Well, he pushes back on that one. Oh, okay. Lift the suspension of extradition of drug lords, guarantee free, transparent, and secure elections for the opposition. Okay. Collaborate in the restoration of Venezuela. They are bordering countries. Strength and security on the Columbia, Venezuela border to combat groups like the ELN when they attempt to cross the border,
Starting point is 00:53:01 fleeing the new order imposed by the United States. Stop persecuting the opposition. Okay, boss, we promise. And peacefully and quietly abandoned the Casa de Narnino on August of 20. What is Casa de Narino? I don't know. Let me find out what that is. On August, on August 6th, 2026, is that the government house?
Starting point is 00:53:21 What is that? The official, yes, the official residence of the president of Columbia. So there's definitely stuff afoot. It's definitely stuff happening. And we're not being told. No, of course not. Well, nobody in our media will do any work because they're too busy harping on the woman in
Starting point is 00:53:46 in Minnesota as opposed to the dead kids in Chicago and Oakland. What is the, when is the Chicago kill list at? Chicago. No, shot clock, I think it's called.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Shot clock. I think it's the shot clock. Yeah. Yeah. The hayjackass.com. Let's take a look. Oh, it's better than I thought. January to date,
Starting point is 00:54:12 shot and killed eight, shot and wounded 40 total shot 48 total homicides 10 so it's better than I then I thought let's see how what was the 20 total homicides includes knivings yeah yeah and and other knifeings knife things knifeings yes yes let me 2025 Chicago here's the list 433 people killed 1,592 wounded how you doing Darren? You enjoying that shy rack there? I do have, I do, so this is the whole dimension A, dimension B. And it's, it's crazy to hear all these people talking about,
Starting point is 00:54:59 well, she had a, whenever someone starts with, well, you can clearly see by the wheels turn that way. It's like, okay, you're just trying to make something go your way by a little piece of video. And there's all kinds of different angles. and it is just, we love over-analyzing. It's like Charlie Kirk. It was the exploding microphone. It could never have been a 30-odd-6.
Starting point is 00:55:21 There's no blood. It is blood. It's only out of the... Over and over and over and over. Why you wear a white t-shirt. Yeah. So there's a couple different angles here. Actually, I'd like to start with the fraud
Starting point is 00:55:36 because that, of course, is now kind of being downplayed or is just, you know, was not making much noise as it should. And there was a hearing in the House. This is Minnesota Representative Robbins talking about the way fraud was handled in Minnesota. Representative Robbins, do you have any examples of how the Wallets administration blocked investigators from moving forward with high priority fraud investigations? Yes, we do, Mr. Chairman. I have met with whistleblowers and gotten documents from that.
Starting point is 00:56:12 about how after the original C-CAP whistleblower report came out in March and April of 2019, subsequent to that, there was an Office of Inspector General within DHS that had investigative authority to do surveillance, warrants, and seize electronics, and they were shut down. They were told they could no longer do criminal investigations. They were told they could no longer meet with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents that were assigned to them without supervisor's approval. And instead, when they found, one of them, other members talked about how they changed the language. They went from calling it fraud to calling it overbilling.
Starting point is 00:56:52 And they created an overbilling committee to all the investigative agents now, couldn't do criminal investigations. And they had to flag issue overbilling. And then a committee would decide if any of that overbilling would be recouped. Committee appointed by Waltz? No, appointed within DHS. Oh, appointed by the own bureaucracy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:57:13 So they shut down criminal investigations. They created a committee to call it overbilling and decide if overbilling investigations would even try to. This is fantastic. That's the way you do it. It's not fraud. It's overbilling. So Scott Bessent, our Treasury Secretary, comes onto the scene.
Starting point is 00:57:32 And he did an interview with the Rufo show. Roof, I think it's Rufo and something. Rufo, it's on the Blaze, sat down for like a, like, a house. half hour interview, and he laid it out very clearly, and he's not messing around. So, Chris, first, thanks, thanks for having me, and thanks for breaking this story, because it's clearly something that's been going on and suppressed for so long. And you could see that the people in Minnesota have been carrying this burden, and they almost seem real.
Starting point is 00:57:59 Say what? Chris Rufo, yeah. ...leaved. But what we've found, two things, really, three. one, as you reported, this waste, fraud and abuse in the system, bigger than anyone thought, and we'll see where that goes. Two, the leakage and how does this get out of the country? Either if you were on public assistance and you were sending money out of the country, one of two things must be true. You were getting too much assistance because you have excess funds to feed yourself, your family, food, clothing.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Or you've got stolen money and you're sending that out. But in either case, money needs to stay in the U.S. or your benefits need to be cut. Three, how can we use the investigations in Minnesota as a model for what's happened and push it out to the other 49 states? Because Minnesota is likely the most egregious. Maybe not. We'll see. I have an open mind. but the scale, just because of this population size, California, Illinois, New York, that what's going on here is a microcosm of what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:59:18 And it's like someone on the panel said today, benefits have been turned into businesses. It is a cottage industry of teaching people how to form multiple LLCs, how to game the system, how to move money around. and we'll see where the money goes. I'm here because what Treasury does is follow the money. We follow the money. And we have done it with the mafia, where we're able to take them down, Mexican drug cartels,
Starting point is 00:59:47 and now these Somali fraudsters. And we can always do it. We'll see what kind of recoveries we can get for the American people. Yeah, I like it. It sounds like he does make mean business. I like it. I like, he's talking about the multiple LLCs. They know exactly how this is being done
Starting point is 01:00:03 501c3s, they're going after that, they're going after all these financial networks. You know, you always complain about Congress not doing anything. They're not. They're full of crap. It's all their moments. And I think that's... Yeah, the clip you played earlier was with Comer. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:20 My favorite. Well, let's go to Margaret. Also this morning... But by the way, before you do that, I want to mention something that Besson did, and I'm noticing this, it's a rhetorical trick. you might start picking up on it where you say the follow, the trick goes like this. Yeah, and there's two things I want to talk about.
Starting point is 01:00:40 I mean, maybe three. Actually, three. He only mentioned two. Yeah, you only mentioned two, but they're always doing this. I got two things to tell you. Actually, three. But at least,
Starting point is 01:00:52 where is this, and I'm hearing it over and over and over. Well, at least it's milieu. At least he didn't do. I got two things to tell you. One and B. like Biden did. At least he's not doing that. So the representative
Starting point is 01:01:10 Elon Omar is out on the trail to of course play all of this down and she showed up this morning with Margaret Brennan. Well, the administration argues that they have to do it because the state failed to, right? The federal government
Starting point is 01:01:26 and the state have been working peacefully together and have brought justice. I love how she talks to these 87 people that you've described. None of the search that they have. What? What did you call it? She swallows your words.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Conducted has produced any sort of criminal activity. They haven't been able to charge anyone as of yet. The administration also announced they're going to cut food stamps to Minnesota because they say some of the food stamp money had been. about Basil here. Are you confident that are being litigated and it is again unconstitutional for them to do so? Is it, are you? Unconstitutional?
Starting point is 01:02:11 How's it unconstitutional? What is she talking about? Food stamps aren't in the constitution. Again, unconstitutional for them to do so. Is it, are you confident that the fraud that has been discovered is no longer being conducted? Oh, that's a good point. The troller is saying she has a little bit of a Christopher Walken type cadence. That's actually a...
Starting point is 01:02:34 I can hear that. A little bit. You're confident that the fraud that has been discovered... What are you going to do about it? ...is no longer being conducted now. Is there any justification for saying this food stamp money is somehow being misused? There are ways to investigate fraud, which we have been doing in Minnesota, which the federal government has been doing under the Biden administration. There is no reason for them to use this level of rhetoric.
Starting point is 01:03:00 There is no reason for them to full... Who cares about rhetoric? What do you? Rhetoric is just words, lady. These pro, the funding these programs, the only reason they are doing that is for PR purposes. And it is harming our state. It is harming my constituents.
Starting point is 01:03:19 And it is creating the kind of chaos and confusion that no one needs in this moment. Why doesn't the DOJ just go after the whole brother story? That's the strongest position they've got. Well, at Congress, there was a, there was a meeting. of the oversight committee. It was on C-SPAN. By the way, your YouTube TV now has C-SPAN. Yeah, yeah, they have C-SPAN-1, C-SPAN 2,
Starting point is 01:03:42 and the rare C-SPAN 3. Probably save C-SPAN's butt because that was paid by cable companies and they don't want to pay for it anymore. So it's probably a cash infusion for C-SPAN from Google. That would be my guess. So, yes. Anyway, so I'm watching the,
Starting point is 01:03:59 oh, just you turn it on. I mean, it's like watching. a slow train wreck. You can't really turn it off, so you're stuck there watching. And I'm watching Nancy Mace. Great. Nancy? Is that her name?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Is it Nancy? I don't think it's Nancy Mace. I don't think it's Nancy Mace. But she is now. Nancy Mace. Mace. Mace and Luna are both on this committee with, and is headed by Comer. So we know this is kind of a, the oversight committee.
Starting point is 01:04:29 So they're, and this is one of the subcommittees. And they're going after, they're making a big fuss, but they passed it off. No, no, no, we've got to go to the Ethics Committee. We can't do it here. They're passing off the guy, the one congressman who's beating his wife, and they wanted to investigate that. And then Omar and Mace is the one who says, hey, you know, this has got to be investigated.
Starting point is 01:04:56 She married her brother. She should probably be deported. Yeah, but that's the Department of Justice. Who cares? Congress should just be doing what they're supposed to do. Well, somebody should do something about this fraud that she committed to become an American citizen. Let's go on to the real fake news, according to Elon, is that Nick Shirley was all fake, was all fake, fake. Because the administration and many conservative allies in the administration argue that this is still ongoing.
Starting point is 01:05:27 There was that conservative influencer who went out and posted this video that went viral, alleging that daycare. How do they come up with just as a point of question? Is Nick Shirley a conservative? I mean, is he wearing a MAGA hat? Is he a registered Republican? I mean, what? Not that I know of.
Starting point is 01:05:48 He seemed just like a kid. With an older handler dude named Dave who is not. Yeah, a YouTuber. Well, we don't know where Dave came from. Dave could be a conservative. Dave could be a plant. They never. It could be CIA for all we know.
Starting point is 01:06:03 Yes, yes. A conservative influencer who went out and posted this video that went viral, alleging that daycare facilities were pocketing public funds. Yeah, and as you know, he went hours where. What was that? I couldn't feel, I didn't hear it. You listened to it. Pocketing public funds.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Yeah, and as you know, he went. That's a bad laugh tell. Facilities were pocketing public funds. And as you know, he went hours where these businesses were not operating. Yeah, CBS went out and did a show investigation. Which again creates the level of confusion and chaos. Oh, so CBS now says it's fake. Okay.
Starting point is 01:06:44 That it's not necessary in a moment when we are trying to deal with a serious problem that needs serious people to be able to address it. But do you think there was no recorded evidence of fraud, according to the CBS investigation that was conducted? Really? What? I didn't, I mean, I saw a whole that, I didn't, did CBS conclude that?
Starting point is 01:07:11 That's news to me. But do you think there was no recorded evidence of fraud, according to the CBS investigation that was conducted? But Governor Wals did not run for re-election. He dropped out of the race because of all of this. Because he wants to focus on defending our state. He wants to focus on getting out of Donald. focus on defending our state and not defending a seat.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Do you think there has been a sufficient level of accountability and ownership of the failure to have oversight here? Do you think this ends? That is what we want. There is again. We want to collaboratively work with the administration to try to make sure that there is no fraud that's being perpetuated on our state. What we do not want. I love that. Fraud perpetuated on our state. No, it is your state. Fraud that's being perpetuated on our state.
Starting point is 01:08:06 In our state. What we do not want is the level of terror, of confusion, of chaos that is being created without any results in this moment. All right. Well, she makes a good point about no results. Yeah, that's true. Well, here's the Ethics Committee thing that you just brought up. Very quickly, before I let you go. Because it's not that important, you know, Ethics Committee is not important. quickly, before I let you go, the chair oversight committee said that he wants to refer you to the ethics committee.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I've been referred like 100 times. He's looking at your husband's income and net worse. He said it was tied to private equity investment funds, but he seems to be insinuating that you personally are tied into this welfare scam. How do you respond to that? Ever since I've gotten to Congress, they
Starting point is 01:08:52 have been doing these sort of weird ethics investigations. None of them have yielded anything because I have been as transparent as I can be. And there is nothing wrong with any documentation that I have ever provided to the federal government. Okay. Well, there she goes. She's as transparent as she can be. So now we go, because I do have some clips of this stuff, to the mayor of Minneapolis, who of course showed up on Pooper Show, State of the Union this morning as well. We have all the Sunday morning shows.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Thank you very much, Steve. Welcome back to State of the Union. Joining us now to respond. Minneapolis, Mayor Jacob Frye and Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hare. Mayor Frye, your response to what you just heard from Secretary Nome, she invoked you. I have those clips later if we want to listen to him. You by name. That was some wild and crazy stuff.
Starting point is 01:09:45 You know. Oh. Sounds like she doesn't believe. Does he have an arrow in it through his head when he said that? Listen to what he says now, though. good. That was some wild and crazy stuff. You know, it sounds like
Starting point is 01:10:01 she doesn't believe a single word that she is saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water if she'd actually be able to speak because here's the thing. Oh, cute. He's a ventriloous now.
Starting point is 01:10:17 I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water. She'd actually be able to speak because here's the thing. She's calling Minneapolis like this dystopian hellhole. You know how many shootings we've had so far this year? Two. And one of them was ICE. Two shootings in a large city so far this entire year and one of them is ice. This is a safe city. Ice and Christie-Nome and everything they're doing is making it far less safe. Well, listen, you've had two shootings where a week and a half in, you know, don't make it
Starting point is 01:10:51 sound like it was a whole year. You know, it's like... Yeah, that's a good way he did. He did that well. He does it very well. And by the way, during this time of year when it's frozen solid outside, very few, you know, there's not a lot of... There's not a lot of killing going on. People don't want to kill when it's cold. It's too much work. Here comes to dimension B's or pruder analysis.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I want you to respond to what she said about you telling ICE to get the F out. She says you and the leaders of Minneapolis have been demonizing ICE off. officers. And it is true that you've been critical of Secretary Nome for her quick characterization of the incident. But you also said on Wednesday, quote, this was a federal agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying. Does your rhetoric need to change? Yeah, yeah. I said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying. It's exactly what happened. I mean, am I biased in this, of course, and I'm biased because I got
Starting point is 01:11:50 two eyes. Anybody can see these videos. Anybody can see that this victim is not a domestic terrorist. I mean, my goodness, she's like doing a three or a four or five point turn. This looks like somebody that's trying to get out of there. If doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist, my wife is a criminal every single day. Where is this three point turn thing anyway? It's a four point turn. What turn? She's just taken off like a run. And what turn? She's just taken off like a pocket. Yeah, but this is the dementia A, dementia B. I mean, my goodness, she's like doing a three or a four or five point turn. This looks like somebody that's trying to get out of there. If doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist and my wife is a criminal every single day, this, it does not make sense.
Starting point is 01:12:44 We've got to be operating from a point of, of course, have this investigation. It should be a neutral, unbiased. investigation where you get the facts, you know, and by the way, I shouldn't be the one conducting the investigation, nor should Christy Knoem. But you should have an entity that is able to do it with some common sense and operating in reality. What he's referring, I'm sorry. The FBI is doing the investigation, not Christy Knoem. No, but he's, this guy is, he's nuts. Let's go to, I'm going to go back in time. Well, there's a lot of evidence that he was involved in that I think it was a law firm that was training these people to do the fraud. He may be a fraudster. Hmm, interesting. I didn't know that as possible. It seems like there were 280 people shot
Starting point is 01:13:34 in 2025 in Minneapolis, which doesn't seem like a small number. Let's go back to Chrissy Nome because he's referring to something that we brought up in the last episode, which is about the definition of domestic terrorists. You said within hours of her being killed, you said that she was a domestic terrorist. How do you define domestic terrorists? She weaponized her vehicle to conduct an act of violence against a law enforcement officer and the public. How can you assert with certainty that she was trying to hurt the officer as opposed to she was trying to flee the scene? If you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it completely fits the situation on the ground. This is...
Starting point is 01:14:14 Okay, so I looked it up. I figured that would be worth it. because we talked about it. The definition is one of the few shows that actually does the work. Yes. 18 U.S. Code 2331, brackets five. In order to be classified as domestic terrorism, an act must meet all three of the following conditions. Okay. So count. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Okay. Okay. Okay. The act itself must involve acts dangerous to human life and must be a check. Check. and must be a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any individual state. I think we get a check on that because you're- absolutely.
Starting point is 01:14:57 You're hampering the work of a federal agent. The location, this is the second criteria, must occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. Okay. Well, that's easy enough. And here comes the intent. The acts must appear to be intended to accomplish at least one of the following, multiple choice. Now we have another group of things. Hands on buzzers.
Starting point is 01:15:20 But there's only three, but now we got three with sub. No, no. Well, it's three with sub. Yes. Sub categories. It's the act, the location, and the intent, hands on buzzers candidates. Here we go. Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.
Starting point is 01:15:35 I don't, don't think it qualifies. I'm not catching that one. I'm not getting that either. Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion. I think there's, I think you could check that. box. She was tracking these guys. She was blocking their work. She was intimidating the officers. No, no. We already had intimidate or coerced a civilian population influence the policy of a government. I don't think it checks those boxes. But the third box affect the conduct of governments by
Starting point is 01:16:10 mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping. I think all three are kind of. If he? But affecting the conduct of the government, mass destruction, but is it you have to match all three? No, one of. One of those. One of those is actually four. So now, there you go again.
Starting point is 01:16:36 You just did what the rhetorical trick was. No, no. It was three, but now there's four. No, it's three criteria. And of each criterion, it has to be one of those. So it's subcategories. So it has to be one of the subcategories. Yes.
Starting point is 01:16:55 It has to be all three of the main categories and one of the subcategories. And the intent, I think, is the one that is questionable. Acts must appear to be intended to accomplish at least one of the four. Oh, it's actually three. I'm sorry. Intimidate or coerce a civilian population? No. Influence the policy of a governed by intimidation or coercion.
Starting point is 01:17:19 Yes, I think you're right. She was trying to influence the policy of the government, i.e. rounding up illegals by intimidation. And I think intimidation is there. And then affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping. I don't think it hits that. No. No, it was number two. Number two. That's right.
Starting point is 01:17:42 You're moving on to the next round. there is, of course, no specific federal crime called domestic terrorism. So you can only prosecute for murder, arson, weapons offenses, etc. And it is indeed the federal Bureau of Investigation whose jurisdiction this falls under. So I think they can make a case unless you believe in the three-point turn theory. If you look at what the definition of dementia, Four point. Terrorism is it completely fits the situation on the ground. This individual, as you saw in the video that we released just 48 hours after this incident, showed that this officer was hit by her vehicle.
Starting point is 01:18:26 She weaponized it. And he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. The question is, I don't doubt. My position is I wasn't there. I didn't see it. Who's this? Some people. Jake Tapper? Yes. Tapper, Tapper, not Pooper. So what is he, he says, what is he, he's not interviewing her anymore, he's part of it? What kind of a question was that? Let's do it again. And he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. The question is, I don't doubt, my position is I wasn't there.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Your position. I didn't see. Some people say, what do you mean? It's my position. She was trying to hit him. Hold on a second. Stop the presses here. You can't do that.
Starting point is 01:19:11 my position. Is this a political debate? This is your position? It's his position. I'm telling him. How's it? Why does he have a position? He's supposed to be reporting.
Starting point is 01:19:24 He's doing an interview of somebody. Mm-hmm. But now he has a position. So this is a partisan interview. Uh, gambling? Come on. CNN. Yes.
Starting point is 01:19:37 That's the worst. They got to get the, the Ellicons have got to take operation over sooner than later. Let's continue. Some people say, no, she was clearly trying to move her car and flee and get away. I don't know. What I'm saying is, how do you know? How can you assert for a fact within hours before any investigation? This is what happened. The facts of the situation are that the vehicle was weaponized and it attacked the law enforcement officer. He defended himself and he defended those individuals around him. That is the definition when there is something that is weaponized.
Starting point is 01:20:11 to use against the public and law enforcement, that is an act of domestic terrorism. It happened in our shores. It happened here in our country. You don't get to change the facts just because you don't like them. We will continue to look at this individual and what her motivations were.
Starting point is 01:20:26 We know that there was, throughout that morning, she had harassed and impeded law enforcement operations that raises the suspicion level with all of these law enforcement officers as far as paying attention to what her capacity is. And as you see on the videos, and they've proven out that this law enforcement officer took the action that his training prepared him for,
Starting point is 01:20:45 and he worked to make sure that he could save his own life and those around him. Now, let's just look at the true culprits here, because these are, it's first the whole, the whole thing is sad. It's sad all around, but these are people who have been mind-controlled by their elected representatives. This is the lieutenant governor of Minnesota, lieutenant-governor Flanagan. If you are sick and time. Wait a minute. Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota thought was Ellison.
Starting point is 01:21:14 Lieutenant Ellison. No. No. I'm sorry. Not the lieutenant. She is, wait. I don't know I have it here. Where was she?
Starting point is 01:21:27 She's the like the under governor or something like that. She's the lieutenant governor. Okay. Keith Ellison is the attorney general. Yes. Okay. There we go. We're sorry.
Starting point is 01:21:40 All your points are wiped off the board now. Everything you got right about domestic terrorism, you lose those points. Okay, I can start over and still beat you. Going to the culprit, the type of people. Yes, this woman, this is the clip. This clip was before our last show. This is when I brought it up about them inciting. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:00 This woman is disgusting. If you are sick and tired of your government being ransacked by Donald Trump and his minions, literally taking away health care from your neighbors, stealing food off of the table from seniors and children, and generally being uncool with the fact that our neighbors are being disappeared. P.S. Without due process, it is just called kidnapping. Then show up and use your voice. Put your body on the line and use nonviolent direct action, which is one of the most important tools in our toolbox to say, I am not okay. I will not go silently into the night.
Starting point is 01:22:40 I will join arms with my friends, with my neighbors, and with people who generally believe that folks should be able to afford their lives, should be treated with dignity and as human beings. The key phrase there is put your body on the line. Yeah, that's what you said. And what kind of governance is this? When you're encouraging, what kind of government do you have in Minnesota, where you're encouraging people to go out and riot.
Starting point is 01:23:07 The only kind I can imagine is one that is thoroughly corrupt all the way through, and she must be corrupt as well. Why else would you do that unless you're afraid that the gig is up? By the way, there's a great mini-series. I think it's on Netflix. It's called Struck by Lightning. It's like three or four episodes about James Garfield, who was elected president almost kind of as a fluke.
Starting point is 01:23:32 And he was assassinated three months. months into his presidency. That shows you, and that's, that was 1948. 18, 18, 18. Was it? Barfield, 1848, I think. The corruption, because that's what it all, the corruption of New York and, you know, the port authority and just all of these, everybody, all corrupt, all drunk, all
Starting point is 01:24:03 womanizing. and you just sit there and you watch and go like, it's only gotten worse. It's just they covered up better. They do a better job of covering it up. That's the idea. You learn something. You learn something.
Starting point is 01:24:16 It's a great series. Tina and I were just like, holy crap, no wonder we're in such dire straits. Anyway, go back to... The country's always been this way. Yes. Well, all countries are.
Starting point is 01:24:26 I mean, yes, all countries are. We just have prettier politicians generally these days. So back to our Ice Barbie and Jake Tapper, and he's going to do something, a nice little trick they do over there at CNN. I know that you'd like to make me the topic of this and not what happened, but I did ask a Democratic senator just a few minutes ago about AOC's comments. And I don't actually even know what you're talking about when I ask questions. Hold on. Maybe we should play that first. Hold on a second. Yeah, I'm not following this at all. The officer appeared to have fired three shots, the first one through the front wind.
Starting point is 01:25:03 shield and the second and third through the side window. What is the justification for the second and third, given that the officer was out of harm's way? You're watching the same videos that I am, correct? Yeah. Yeah, you're watching the same one. So you see how quickly the situation unfolded, how the officer was in front of the vehicle when she sped off, how she ran into him, and how he had to take quick action based on his training to defend himself and his colleagues around. Once he's out of arms way. That's very clear and factual from the videos that you can see. It's nobody's interpretation. we don't get to change it because we can see it with our eyes and we can build on the evidence that we have on the ground. You see how everyone is saying we can see it with their eyes. I have eyes. I can see it. I saw it with my eyes. I saw something different.
Starting point is 01:25:44 I mean, what color is the dress. The question is why? Because the politics doesn't fit somebody and what they're trying to do to continue to defraud people in their city and in their state continue to take advantage of individuals and to allow criminals. I don't know what you're talking about. That's what Mayor Frey and that's what Mayor, Governor Walls are doing every day by diverting the attention. trying to attack a law enforcement officer. They're allowing the criminals to go by without examiner. Are you saying that the second and third shots, because you just said it happened very quickly. Are you saying the second and third shots? I said, watch the videos. And watch how quickly this unfolded and know that law enforcement officers every day in this country are in difficult situations where they have to make split-second decisions to protect themselves, the public, and their colleagues, and that they have to rely on their training. That's exactly what this officer did. And I know that the left and I know the crazy
Starting point is 01:26:32 activists in this country that are trying to undermine our way of life will attack and try to destroy a law enforcement officer. I'm asking a question. It's just unacceptable and we're not going to let that. I'm asking a question is when he's out of harm's way, what is the reason for the second and third shot through the window when he is out, he's not in the
Starting point is 01:26:48 line of sight of the car? This investigation will continue to unfold and more and more information will come forward. She's no good at this point. What I would appreciate is everybody's I know. I know exactly what she should have said. She should have said he already hit her with the car. He had no idea if she was going to back up and run him over.
Starting point is 01:27:08 She had, he, as far as it didn't have that much time to think about it because it had been dead. Could she have backed up? She already hit him. How much would it take for her to back up and run him over? He didn't have any time to think about this. It was not worth taking a chance. Can you tell me, Jake, could she not have run him over? No, because she was a poet.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Poets don't do that. So I don't know what the AOC reference is, but he's going to call an equivalency here. And there really isn't an answer other than you saw the video. I want to ask a question about the rules of how law enforcement is allowed to engage when feeling threatened, per your assertions. And by the way, he's going to yip her on this one. She has no answer for it.
Starting point is 01:27:56 Because I want to show some video to you right now and ask, What is the appropriate response for the police officers in this situation? Do you know what he's showing? No, probably this pepper spring or... January 6th. January 6th. Those are law enforcement officers being physically attacked. By this standard, would any of those officers being justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?
Starting point is 01:28:38 Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on. know that when people are putting hands on them, when they are using weapons against them, when they are physically harming them, that they have the authority to arrest those individuals. The president pardoned every single one of those people. And make sure that they're getting justice for their actions going forward. President Trump pardoned every single one of those people. And every single one of these investigations comes in the full context of the situation on the ground. She's very combative.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Yes. Yeah, I agree. And she's not doing it well. No. I mean, there's other ways she should have just thrown the Ashley Babbitt thing right at him. That would have been good. That could have been good. So, well, there was one police officer that just shot an innocent woman who wasn't unarmed and wasn't hitting him.
Starting point is 01:29:24 Shot him dead. And he didn't get prosecuted, did he? Did he, Jake? Say her name, Jake. Say her name. Say her name. So he could have done, she could have done that. She could have pulled the Ashley Babett card.
Starting point is 01:29:36 Could have also said. And if she was really a, if she was a J.D. Vance or. or somebody who was quick on her feet, she would have said the following. Well, those cops knew that those were FBI agency, FBI guys beating him up, so they knew it was a wink, wink, nudge, nudge. They weren't going to shoot damn. You know what? You are now the new Christy Gnome.
Starting point is 01:29:57 I hereby nominate you as director of the DHS. It doesn't take a genius to have these answers. You would look good in the cowboy hat and the camo. You'd be great. Listen, Jake. Listen, Jake, we saw you at the birthday party of the, assistant director of CIA. We know what you're up to. We know whose team you're playing on. So we had to go to France 24 to get some of this information. Well, there's a coalition of
Starting point is 01:30:24 organizations and rights groups that are organized these demonstrations. The biggest one, the ACLU, which most of our viewers will know, they're the main driving force behind it. But they have called for an entire weekend of process across the country. Around a thousand of them are so expected. There was one here in D.C. just down by the White House there a little earlier that we were at. But the big one here that we are expecting is going to be taking place on Sunday when protesters will be gathering near the National Mall before walking down towards the headquarters of ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That's part of the Department of Homeland Security. But the biggest one by far that we've seen on Saturday is in Minneapolis, where that's shooting
Starting point is 01:31:10 of Renee Good took place just a few days ago. There have been hundreds of protesters gathering in a central park there before then moving on and marching through the streets. Long past the site of where Renee was fatally shot. Just a couple of days ago, people chanting her name, shouting justice for Renee. And there's also a vigil being held there with a significant amount of flowers and candles
Starting point is 01:31:37 being placed at the site where she was facing. shot. So there for now have been mostly peaceful. There have been a couple of pepper balls fired towards protesters. That mainly though outside of an ice detention facility inside of Minneapolis, which has really become a flashpoint of these demonstrations. That is where these officers come face to face with the protesters who are protesting their stay in Minneapolis. The ACLU, man, what happened to them? I remember when I used to donate. They were taking over by. Yeah. I remember we used to donate. I used to donate to them. And I think it was when President Trump put the, in hindsight, very smart travel restrictions on coming into the United States during COVID, which immediately was called a Muslim ban. Well, you hate Muslims. And that was the ACLU. And then they called me and said, hey, how come you haven't donated? I said, well, are you supposed to organize protests? Is that your charter?
Starting point is 01:32:38 Well, we have to. It's important. You remember that call? Yeah, it was during the era of the show. You talked about it. I recorded the call. And you got all bent out of shape because you used to give them a lot of money, I guess. A lot of money. Well, for you.
Starting point is 01:32:54 It was my $10 a month. For you, it was a lot of money. Yes, it was. And so you're giving him a lot of money and they call and bitching and moan that. You're not giving them more $10 bills. Yes. And the next thing you know, you're complaining about it on the show. Of course I remember that.
Starting point is 01:33:10 Okay. Oh, man. I thought this was very funny. I guess I should really play the jingle, but we'll play this. Here's my question. Where is everybody? Hold on. Let me play the warning.
Starting point is 01:33:31 This woman. Everybody needs to be warned before we play these kinds of clips. A clip from the view will be played. Shelter in place. Let me just say this. Here's my question. Where is everybody? Where is everybody else?
Starting point is 01:33:48 We come to everybody's aid. Yeah. We help everybody. NATO, they came and helped us after 9-11. Where is everybody? What did NATO do? What did NATO do for us after 9-11? Come and help us.
Starting point is 01:34:04 Come on, NATO. Come on and help us. They helped us do what? Just listen to the clip. They came and helped us after 9-11. Where is everybody? Because we're worried about Greenland right now. But where is the government?
Starting point is 01:34:19 Do you realize we don't have a government? Because we don't have all their power away. Yes, I'm not. And this is a huge and should be our biggest bitch right now. It is. No, she's a big bitch. Because all of this is happening because there is no one doing checks and ballots. There's no system.
Starting point is 01:34:42 Where is the government? Why aren't they doing their job? Let me tell you, I feel like, you know, he hinted yesterday. Okay. So she basically feels that NATO should come and help us. They need to save us. And they, I remember the French, we invented freedom fries because the French did want to help us right away. Yeah, because they didn't help us.
Starting point is 01:35:06 They didn't help us right away. So we got all bent out of shape and call them freedom fries. Yes. Yes. So, yeah, it seems, but yeah, it's an obvious ploy. And, you know, this would be another thing. We can impeach him over this and just keep moving along, doing all that. It's also boring.
Starting point is 01:35:29 I mean, it's, it is. I do have my, I do have a Minnesota clip. Okay, let's do your message. The Minnesota public citizen woman. This week's series of shootings by federal agents enforcing President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration has sparked a week. weekend of protests. There were rallies and demonstrations across the country. They were organized after a woman was fatally shot by an immigration and customs enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, and a customs and border protection agent wounded two people the next day in Portland, Oregon. Lisa Gilbert is the co-president of public citizen, a progressive advocacy group that helped organize today's protests. Lisa, what are you hearing from around the country about turnout and whether or not there have been any problems or troubles? Well, turnout has been amazing. We're holding 1,000 plus events, peaceful, lawful vigils around the country in this astounding moment where people are reacting to an atrocity. It was organized in only 48 hours. And so the massive numbers were seeing the number of people turning out, telling their neighbors to turn out, all of it just demonstrates the real magnitude of the outrage that I think people are.
Starting point is 01:36:41 Yeah, the outrage. Okay. The outrage. The thing is, like Brock. The thing is we'll never, these two dimensions will never see eye to eye, ever. I just don't see it. How can we ever create cohesion?
Starting point is 01:37:00 These are the same, uh, generalizing liberal white women who you clip on TikTok. Yeah, it's the same people. So how do we, how do we deal with them moving forward? You have to have a world war. A world war.
Starting point is 01:37:18 Wouldn't a civil war be good enough? We got to have a world war? No, civil war is impossible to do. Well, what do we need a world? How would a world war help? That way it unites the country. Civil war doesn't unite anything. Well, you want a world war like everyone said,
Starting point is 01:37:32 they got a common enemy and everyone's got to get it together because, you know, we're all going to die. And so you have to have a world war. and if that gets rid of the Zeds who can't read, you put them in the army. It solves a lot of problems. I got a great anti-Zumer note. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 01:37:52 I think I got that one too. Yes. I think it's exaggerated a bit. From Stefan? I don't know what's it. When you read it, I'll know. Well, he said, my generation was born 93-97. Me and my friend studied under the French system
Starting point is 01:38:08 an English system through primary in high school. So he says, you know, they taught us how to touch type, build the database, use Excel and PowerPoint and websites, understand key components. It was based on my comment that there's no more computer science class. Right. So he says, uh, when we enter the workforce, all the hiring managers were shocked at our computer literacy and thought this had to be the smartest generation ever. A few, a year ago, I caught up with some of my friends over Discord, mm-hmm, suss, who are now
Starting point is 01:38:38 Not that smart. Who are now a middle management in tech companies, i.e. head of operations, customer support, and they were telling me funny stories about the new generation, how illitered they are in computers, some with IT degrees. And he gives some examples. I believe that.
Starting point is 01:38:55 I believe this, too. They did not know what or how to open a command line on Windows. I mean, I think that's iffy if you need to know that. Yeah, it doesn't take much to figure it out. They did not, CMD. Apple, was it, Windows key R, CMD? There's a lot of ways. There's more ways. There's more ways than one.
Starting point is 01:39:18 There's many ways. How to touch type, well, that, I mean, typing skills, do they even do typing class anymore? I don't know. I don't think so. How to use Excel or PowerPoint. That seems like a big issue. If you don't understand the basics of a spreadsheet.
Starting point is 01:39:36 And they didn't know. how to troubleshoot when something went wrong with the computer, i.e. Control, alt, delete. They couldn't get to the task manager. Task manager end processes. And if all else fails, restart the PC, they just froze like a robot. Yeah, I can believe that. The other things, I mean, but this generation that he's discussing the one he's part of, do they know the difference in random access and non-volatile memory? Well, they're not going to have to know because you can't buy it anymore. There's no more RAM. We're out of RAM? When did that happen?
Starting point is 01:40:13 Well, this is from CNBC. This has been going on for a couple weeks now, these stories. AI memory is sold out, causing an unprecedented surge in prices. Prices for computer memory or RAM, this is CNBC, are expected to rise more than 50% this quarter compared to the last quarter of 2025 because all the AI companies are buying up the RAM. There's no more RAM. And RAM was getting dirt cheap. That's what was so great about it. It was getting dirt cheap. You could put in a huge cache of RAM.
Starting point is 01:40:44 24 gigs. And, yeah, it's beautiful. I don't know about that much. Well, let's take a little side step here. And let us listen to a report of the most recent CES, the computer electronics show, which you used to cover, I believe. Didn't you use to cover that? Or was more complex?
Starting point is 01:41:05 It used to go all the time. Yeah. Yeah, even though it's a pain in the ass because it's crowded, the hotel rooms are high price. It's cold. It's cold in Vegas. Sometimes, but not always. I've been there during, I think, CES when it snowed.
Starting point is 01:41:20 I was there that year, too. It snowed. I was getting on the plane to go home. And it was snowing on him going, what am I doing? What is it snowing in Las Vegas? I remember like, yeah, we'll just walk home from the convention center because we didn't have Uber. Snowing.
Starting point is 01:41:36 We didn't have Uber. We had to grab cabs and it was like an hour wait for the cap. And they were all a gypsy cabs that would rip you off. It was all, it was a mess. I'm like, I'll just walk home. And it started. And it started so. Well, of course you did.
Starting point is 01:41:48 I mean, you always had a car because when you went to Vegas, the first stop is the pinball machine museum. It was a stop. It was. I also did. I used to go to rent a vet and rent a Corvette too. Oh, I rented a vet there one year. Yeah. And then.
Starting point is 01:42:03 Fun. Yeah, except, um, that was, that was the. really plastic ones. That was maybe, so that must have been. They're all pretty plastic. No, but it was like 93. And I think I hit the gas, the accelerator, right over a speed bump and it ripped the whole muffler and, you know, and some fiberglass right off of the thing. What?
Starting point is 01:42:24 Yeah. And I parked it there. And then, of course, they called me later and said, hey, hey, did you lose a muffler? These are the good old days, MTV days, man. Good, good times. So here, let's hear a little overview from the innovation, the incredible innovation of AI at CES. This is how AI, well over a trillion dollars worth of investment, is going to change your life. Paper thin TVs, Lego that comes to life with light and sound, and binoculars that identify bird species in real time. This year's Consumer Electronics show was defined by AI powered innovation.
Starting point is 01:43:05 Innovation, John. All you bird watchers out there, take note. A mix of genuine breakthroughs and eye-catching concepts that may never see a store shelf. Romanian deep tech company dot lumens, AI glasses for the blind could make shopping or even hiking possible for the visually impaired. What happened to dogs? The seeing-eye dogs are great. No, now you've got to have this headset. By the way, every innovation looks like a Newton.
Starting point is 01:43:35 You know what I mean? Remember the Newton? Oh, yeah, the Apple Newton. Yeah, it's like this big clunky thing that did nothing. You could squirt your business card to someone else if you were like, you know, 10 inches away. Well, I'm going to squit my details to you. I forgot about the term squirt. Squirt, yes.
Starting point is 01:43:54 That was the term they used. Squirt. Hey, I went to Boston. Kind of gross. I went to Boston to the launch to get one. That's how sad I was. I spent my own money. I got a guy.
Starting point is 01:44:06 This thing is, it's the future, the Newton. You spent your own money? I did. During this year, I never spent any of my money. Well, this was MTV days. Yeah, well, they should have expenses for you. Yeah, they weren't going to send me to, they didn't believe in the internet,
Starting point is 01:44:22 let alone the Newton. Like, no, the Newton. By the way, have you seen that MTV rewind website? No, but I heard about it. Yeah, it's pretty cool, actually. You got a lot of you on there. No, I'm not, no, they have no VJs. No, somebody told me they saw you on there.
Starting point is 01:44:38 I haven't seen it. Well, I don't think so. Send your link to Adamacurry.com. Yeah, please. All right, back to the innovation. So, yeah, so this headset is giantant. So now you're blind and you look like a total idiot with this huge peep, peep, peep, peep, oh, I'm walking. Oh, I might get it.
Starting point is 01:44:56 The dogs are great. I think the Seeing Eye Dog Association should stop this. right away. This is crazy. For the blind, could make shopping or even hiking possible for the visually impaired. The headset. Hiking. Why stop there? Water skiing, skiing, biking.
Starting point is 01:45:17 You know, the horse riding, everything. This is innovation. Motorcross. This is crazy. This is what AI is doing for us, birdwatchers and blind people. By the way, we got a lot of blind people. listening to this podcast. So you know I love you. And I think you're probably laughing with us. We hope so. The headset analyzes surroundings and helps a blind person on their day.
Starting point is 01:45:43 This is the way, this is the reason. I'll tell you why they should be a very complimentary towards us because these devices are designed to kill the blind. That's right. They want to kill you. Go hiking and have got a steep cliff with these goggles on. Paragliding. I mean, the possibilities are endless with AI. It's replacing a guide dog. And Chinese company Robo Rox's Saros rover is a robotic vicarer. Now listen to this thing. This is an innovation of epic proportion.
Starting point is 01:46:15 A guide dog. And Chinese company RoboRox's Saros rover is a robotic vacuum cleaner with a pair of legs and motion sensors, allowing it to navigate the house alone and climb up and down the stairs, hoovering as it goes. So this is the big innovation. 10, maybe 50, when did the Roomba come out, by the way, bankrupt? Yeah, it was about time. I hated those guys. Really?
Starting point is 01:46:42 You hated? I talked to Roomba story before I went to, I think it was CES. And I snuck in before they allowed anyone in so I could start interviewing people without having to be, you know, having to get in line. Nice and quiet, yeah. And so I go into the Roomba guys, I'm going to give them a big write-up. And so then the next thing, you know, I'm, moving over the next company, and the bunch of security guys grab me.
Starting point is 01:47:06 And they say, hey, what are you doing here? You're not even supposed to be in here. And I said, yeah, well, I am in here. And I said, where you got to go? So, as he's escorting me off, and I said, who is the, how did you find out? I was in here in the first place, says the Roomba guys told me. The Roomba ratted you out. The Roomba guys ratted me out. So they didn't get a good write-up, and I've been bitching about it ever since. And, you know, and meanwhile, we went in there to interview them to get him a good write-up and this is the thanks I got. I got booted.
Starting point is 01:47:35 Don't ever cross John C. DeVorak. Let this be a lesson. I have a long memory that's for sure. That's right. Well, so now the innovation. So this is what, 15 years ago? Maybe longer. When did Roomba first come out? That's at least 20 years ago. 20 years. So now
Starting point is 01:47:51 they have the same basic concept only it has two legs and it pops down and it climbs the stairs. Okay. Wow. $1.3 trillion so far in County. It's got to do with AI.
Starting point is 01:48:06 Oh, it's smart. It's really smart. It means is that it utilizes AI and advanced algorithms in order to... Advanced algorithms. Advanced algorithms. Agariths. Tech industry is not what it used to be. No, no.
Starting point is 01:48:21 It's algorithms. Agariths. In order to measure the space around it and be able to climb steps with its wheel-leg system. But it's not only just steps and steps and steps. It is also ramps, slopes, curved stairs, snail top of stairs. Dude, get an illegal alien. This is crazy. They get Maria.
Starting point is 01:48:44 Yeah, I mean, pay a human being to do this work. Carpeted stairs, all types of different surfaces that the wheel that can handle. Woo! France-based Y brush brought its smart halo toothbrush, which not only cleans teeth in 20 seconds, but has gas sensors to detect health conditions through analyzing users' breath. Let's be honest. Brushing teeth was due for an innovation.
Starting point is 01:49:10 I mean, this is the advanced AI economy that we're going into. Oh, you just stick this thing in your mouth and within 20 seconds your teeth are clean. I kind of enjoy the. And it checks your breath to see you have bad breath. Yeah, I enjoy brushing my teeth. You know, it gives me a little.
Starting point is 01:49:30 minute to think about stuff and walk around while I'm brushing. No, no, no, they're taking that away. Censors to detect health conditions through analyzing users' breath. Health conditions. But the AI surge has also given birth to solutions in search of a problem, like chargeable design-changing bags, lollipops that play music using bone induction technology or even smart. So the-
Starting point is 01:49:53 Bone induction lollipop? Why don't they just give you secret messages? Put the lollipop in your, okay, now. it's the time to kill all humans. Vote Democrat. Vote Democrat. That's what I was going to say. Vote Democrat.
Starting point is 01:50:07 So, and they have these bags. So there's a bag and there's like a, like a flexible screen, poorly, I might add, woven into the bag and it changes designs. Wow. That's great. All right.
Starting point is 01:50:23 And the last one with that cost. And the last one is my favorite because it's an oldie. Urge has also given birth to solutions in search of a problem. like chargeable design-changing bags, lollipops that play... You know, honey, it's time to go. I can't because my bag is still charging. I can't leave the house.
Starting point is 01:50:45 My bag is charging, otherwise my Louis Vuitton logo won't show. In search of a problem, like chargeable design-changing bags, lollipops that play music using bone induction technology or even smart toys that grow and evolve like real pets. The Tamagachi.
Starting point is 01:51:03 They've brought the Tamaguchi back. There's a bunch of time. We had, somebody sent me some, I think one of the people, one of our producers, maybe, is part of this Tomogachi group. There's a big bunch of collectors in the country of these things still. Really? And they have meetups. And you can look up to me and it's always, it's just, it's all women and one guy who's, living it up.
Starting point is 01:51:35 And this is, each meet up looks like to be about 18 people. And they're having the time of their lives and they have photos online and Instagram has a lot of these groups that show up. And then they post the photos of the collections. Of the Tomogashi's? Yeah. Then they all have a variety of them.
Starting point is 01:51:55 I didn't realize there are so many different weird ones. Yeah. I mean, but that, that was the report. So I guess there. And of course, Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:06 So that's what AI is giving us. Okay. I think at the end of the day, I'll say it. You did it. You said the end of the day. I said it. I think the only winner in the AI stuff is Google. I think that Gemini as a search product, if you get the Gemini Pro, which came with my phone for some reason, is, is, is, that is the, that is the, that is the, that is the, that is the, that is.
Starting point is 01:52:36 is the only actual killer app and they supposedly would know how to how to make money out of it. And, you know, and they have, they have the branding. They are the search company. And it does a pretty good job. I mean, it's not quick. No, it has to search stuff. Well, that can speed up with more better servers. With more money. Just a little bit more. More money. More money. More lithium crystals and we're good I think the big winner's Nvidia, but... Oh, well, yeah. Because they're the ones, they don't even sell chips anymore. They're the ones who sell server farms.
Starting point is 01:53:16 Right, but Google has their own chip. They've got their own... Yeah, the A7. They're supposed to be better than the... No, no, that's... Apple's the A7. No, no. Well, it's got some number like that.
Starting point is 01:53:26 You can look it up. But that chip is sold only as a chip, and according to my source, for this sort of information, nobody can implement the chip. They have to say, and then when they're given the price performance versus the chip versus buying an entire server farm from Nvidia,
Starting point is 01:53:47 everything all put together. Right. No, they're not going to buy the Google chip. So the only other killer app of AI, and, you know, please don't email me and tell me, yeah, it's great for vibe coding. I do it all the time. I'm building my own audio mixer on Linux.
Starting point is 01:54:06 Absolutely. But that's not for the common man. That's for nerds like us who are making stuff. And I like to fool it, by the way. Ormachi. I loaded that on the old Surface Pro 6. That is a lot. Omachi.
Starting point is 01:54:20 Did you Linux? Yeah. Hamachi is called Hamachi? It's like a fish? Yes, Hamachi. It's like a sushi. It's Omachi. Omachi.
Starting point is 01:54:29 Okay, that's better. Yes. Omachi. And it is dynamite. I can't wait. Why? Why? Why? Because it makes it better than any other Linux that we played with. Ah, because it's a, it's based on Hyperland.
Starting point is 01:54:43 So it's a tiling window manager. So it's the interface you're liking, not the Linux under. Yeah, no. I mean, the Linux underneath is just great. I mean, that's just, you know, that's mint. We've been mint users for a long time. It's the interface. It's a whole different concept.
Starting point is 01:55:01 It's not, it's not going to be for the zoomers. they can be like, how come I can't drag this window? No. So you can just go lightning fast on this thing. I don't want to bore you with that. I want to get to the other... Why not? Because we talked about it in the last show and you argue...
Starting point is 01:55:18 Yeah, but I still don't understand. I'm going to have to... Do I have to go look at this thing? I'm going to have to take a machine and download this thing so I can check out this interface because I'm going to be behind the eight ball or behind the curve, behind the curve, if I don't do this. So I have to actually do this work. Yes. You know, the reason...
Starting point is 01:55:34 Well, thanks. Shall I tell you the reason why you will love this interface? Because it validates your initial proposition for which you have been scorned for decades. But the mouse is no good? That's not what you said, but yes. There's not what I said is true. There's no evidence anyone wants to use this. And this thing proves it is, in fact, evidence that software developers, no.
Starting point is 01:56:03 You don't need a mouse. with this interface? You do not, I mean, if you're, if you're using the web browser, but just for using the interface, no, you don't. It's all completely with the keyboard. It's fast. It's intuitive. It's smart.
Starting point is 01:56:19 You don't have to drag windows around. Just click, click, click, boom, boom. It's over here. It's over there. It's done. It's great. That's to check it out, I guess. The other innovation, the other killer app in AI is, of course,
Starting point is 01:56:34 as we also identified on this podcast, they put a bikini on her. And this is causing quite the stir. After X's AI tool, GROC, came under fire for generating sexualized deep fakes, Elon Musk's response has drawn further criticism. The scandal began when GROC, an AI chatbot on X,
Starting point is 01:56:55 gained the ability to generate images last year. With just a text prompt, users in so-called spicy mode could generate adult content. Demands port in. Wait until you. hear the European lawmaker talk about it. The chatbot to virtually address
Starting point is 01:57:08 existing images of ex-users, flooding the platform with explicit unconsensual images of women and children. So we are very well aware of the fact that X or grok or X for GROC is now offering a spicy mode. A spicy mode? A spicy mode?
Starting point is 01:57:25 They have grog or X is going to offering a spicy mode. We're very well aware of the fact that X or grok or X for Grog is now offering a spicy mode showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images.
Starting point is 01:57:43 This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is illegal. It's not spicy. This is appalling. This is disgusting. In response to the outcry, the platform limited image generation
Starting point is 01:57:53 and editing tools to paying subscribers on Friday. European authorities bashed the move, saying it doesn't go far enough to stop the pornographic images. In the UK, Prime Minister Kier-Starmor's office said that the response was insulting to victims and raised the possibility of banning X in the country. Others
Starting point is 01:58:10 echoed his call. We want these companies to take responsibility and to do the right thing. Nothing is off the table. We'll continue to make sure that we protect children from these online harms. Online arms. In the United States, Democratic senators have also called for X and GROC to be removed from the app store
Starting point is 01:58:26 until the issue is resolved. Spicy mode! So... To save the children from seeing Keir Starmer in a bikini, basically. This is what it's all about. Here's the irony clip. Well, Ashley Sinclair is one of the women who says her image was sexualized by Grog. She also happens to be Elon Musk's girlfriend and mother. You talked over it. You talked over it. I'm sorry, but it started over. This is the irony clip. Well, Ashley St. Clair is one of the women who says her image
Starting point is 01:58:55 was sexualized by Grog. She also happens to be Elon Musk's sex girlfriend and mother to one of his children. Well, she's been telling me about what she's experienced this week on X. This issue started for me, I believe it was two days ago now. I received a text from a friend. And when I opened that text, it was a link to Twitter in which a photo of me where I was fully clothed was then undressed and put into a bikini. I immediately responded. Stop putting your photos on the internet. Grock saying I don't consent to this. Please confirm that I don't. And then at Grock, please don't do this.
Starting point is 01:59:32 I do not consent to this. There's no context window. Consent and do not produce any more images. And Grok confirm that I don't consent and that it wouldn't produce anymore. However, Grok continued to produce more and more images and more explicit images in which I was also getting younger in these photos. People found photos of me at 14 years old that they undressed, put into a bikini. Other photos of me where I had a high neckline as an adult with my son's backpack in the background. I was stripped where I look basically nude, bent over, and many of these still remain up
Starting point is 02:00:08 on the platform. The picture was of her bent over. And as of this morning, despite Twitter's claims that they were putting safeguards, I saw a girl that Grok claims is between 10 and 14 years old, undressed by Grok. In the last 24 hours, they removed my checkmark and demonetize me completely after I spoke out about this with no explanation given. The only thing I've done is speak out against this issue and ask... It's amazing when punishment in the world is seen as losing your checkmark. You know, like they've punished me by removing my checkmark. Maybe that's so that Grock won't make images of you is what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 02:00:49 I spoke out about this with no explanation given. The only thing I've done is speak out against this issue and asked Grock to stop doing this because you can't undo abuse. Exa said that now only paying subscribers will have access to this feature. I mean, that's being condemned roundly by the UK government. When you heard that they were doing that, what did you think? Well, so now you can continue producing the CSAM material, but now you just have to pay Elon Musk $8 to do it.
Starting point is 02:01:21 Irony abound, I tell you. There's something going on with the UK. I have a clip. And I think, I'm not sure who, I mean, Starmer's got, they're going after Starmer. Yeah, he's no good. Yeah, he's no good. And you get this kind of, just listen to this report. Now, I'm going to preface it before you even play it.
Starting point is 02:01:43 This is bull crap. And I think Nigel Farage and the CIA and other people are behind it. They're behind it. They're behind it. Because during the video, if you, I'm just going to say during the video that they're playing. They keep putting in pictures of Farage and all the things that these guys do and it's a group out of the UK called, um, I think, Brit Storm. And Brit Storm produces phone. And I, one of our producers actually sent me a couple of these things and as if they were real, which I kind of disturbed by.
Starting point is 02:02:18 But it's, these are phony reports. They're completely created. They're total fiction. And they, and they, uh, and they involve, they always have pictures of Farage. so I think he's behind it. And they're all used to promote the monarchy and to, by chiding them and to condemn Starmers being a horrible person. And I want to play one of these. I have two, two, I just a mislip this. Just the question.
Starting point is 02:02:46 Since we really need to take our break, do you want to tease this and come back after the break or do you want to play four and a half minutes now? I would just as soon tease it. Of course. What do you think? Do a professional tease. When we get back, you're going to hear something as going to jaw dropping. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage.
Starting point is 02:03:07 Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in spicy mode. Say hello to my friend on the other end. The one, the only Mr. John C. Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the names of nights out there. And the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Starting point is 02:03:28 Hold on. Let me count you, trolls, Tombo. Well, well, we broke the 2000 barrier. That's been a while. 2009 trolls listening live in real time to the best podcasting universe. We appreciate that, of course. They are listening live on one of those modern podcast apps at podcast apps.com. Or perhaps they are in the troll room themselves at no agenda. Stream trollroom.io.
Starting point is 02:04:00 And they're here to find out what the boys have to say. That's exactly why they're here. And we told you. We told you. We had the reports. We had the big AI innovations. We had it all for you. We are deconstructing it for you in real time.
Starting point is 02:04:14 With boots on the ground, clips, and everything else. We do it twice a week, Sundays and Thursdays, and we're happy to have you on board. We run on the value for value model, which we have done for more than 18 years, all we ask is after we have given you clearly something of value because our time, our energy, our brain power goes into doing it, our organization skills, are incredibly adequate organization. Be that as it may. But if you got anything out of it, if you found this to be valuable, then all you have to do
Starting point is 02:04:51 is reciprocate by sending us something back. You can do that with your time, your talent, or your treasure. and those are the three categories. Time and talent has kind of been, well, we still have a lot of boots on the ground. We have people making clips. We appreciate that so much. I in particular have a good stable of people who at least not always clip everything, but will send me worthwhile clips to look at and time codes and all of it's appreciated, really.
Starting point is 02:05:20 And so there's, you know, and I don't have some heuristics nightmare of a blocker on my email. So I'm also John's secretary. So here's the thing. You can stop telling me that fusion power is great and John is wrong. Because you need to talk to John, okay? You need to talk to John, not me. Because I'm not the expert. John is more versed in this.
Starting point is 02:05:46 It's more of his wheelhouse because he studied it. Now you maybe have antiquated ideas, but you need to talk to John at devorec.org. And if you get blocked, you email me and say I'm blocked and I'll forward it to him. Remember the bounce on Eudora? Maybe you could bounce something? You could bounce an email.
Starting point is 02:06:06 That's what I can do. No, no, that's bouncing. That's bouncing it back. But there was a specific command on Eudora, which you can't do anymore because of D-KM, D-Kim and S-S-W-W-M and all that stuff. U-D-Rah, lost cause. Udora was a great. It was a great product there in this era.
Starting point is 02:06:23 Yeah, you hit the bounce key, and then it went to you. and it never looked like it came to me. It was great. You could reply and I was out of it. That's gone. That's gone with the spammers. So anyway, one of the ways you can contribute is by prompting your way into the top of the leaderboard on no agenda art generator.com. And we always want to thank the artists for all the work they do.
Starting point is 02:06:47 It's not a huge amount of work, but clearly they're doing something. And I think Jeffrey Rhea did a pretty good job with this artwork that we chose for episode. 1832, we titled it at Lincoln's Dome. And this was all the polar bears with a little map of Greenland. And they were all wearing MAGA hats. It was a American flag in the background. It was cute. I thought it was cute.
Starting point is 02:07:11 That was a cute image. There was some other things. Let's go take a look. You like the icebreaker, which I used for the newsletter. You know, information on the icebreaker I got from Wonderhelm up there in Finland. Let me see, I have it here. The ice breakers. Yes, he says,
Starting point is 02:07:30 the big beautiful ships are not as big as you think they are. Apparently, the icebreakers that we purchase from Finland are significantly smaller than the ones that Finland use themselves. They are, according to experts, they are not actually capable to sail all the way to Alaska to go break the ice. And they may not be even that capable for the polar region in general, which sounds to me like the fins are ripping us off. And maybe we should.
Starting point is 02:08:09 That would sound, that sounds like the fins are ripping us off. Yeah. And I think so. So President Trump, you should do something about those fins. They're no good. They're ripping us off. He's like, big, beautiful ships. What's this?
Starting point is 02:08:22 This thing doesn't even work. We should be careful about that. Let's take a look. So, yeah, we had the ice breakers. I kind of like Lincoln doing his own Lincoln. The head. Lincoln's head. Yeah, the head.
Starting point is 02:08:41 Lincoln Masonry. What else was there? It wasn't much. I mean, the stuff was attractive, but it wasn't usable. And like, so now we have a new guy come in. Statikula baby. It's like some dude with a butt plug is not going to get chosen. I can just tell you this right now.
Starting point is 02:09:06 Like, what are you wasting your, this is a waste of valuable AI power. Yeah, that was kind of it. A lot of cartoony stuff, a lot of ice Barbie. Come on, man, that's old. Get with it. Do something new and fresh. Something fresh. Tramp stamps.
Starting point is 02:09:24 You can do better. I know you can prompt better. I know you can. please, especially for today. We're already looking at dire straits. Yeah, it doesn't look good so far. Like some kid in Amsterdam doing Coke. This is not interesting.
Starting point is 02:09:38 All right. No agendaartgenerator.com. That's where you can upload your art. And we always like to thank the artist who wins. And we thank everybody for participating in our grand contest, how easy it has become. And the final of the three T's is treasure, which means we want to thank people who support the program financially. without that we can't do our work. We can't continue. We have to find other things to do. We thank everybody, $50 and above. And in this segment, we thank the executive and
Starting point is 02:10:05 associate executive producers who are in the position to support us with $200 or more. You become an associate executive producer. We'll read your note. $300 or more an executive producer, and we'll read your note as well. And you get those credits, which you can use anywhere that Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDB.com. And we start off with a Bitcoin donation from Dame Catherine. She is the Bitcoin granny from Bangkok, I believe. Yep. And she sends us $1,000, $22, and one penny. And there's a reason for that, as she says, ITM, John and Adam. I'm sending a little bit of extra BTC in case of any fluctuation. And this is a birthday shout-out for my grandson, Ryan Sutton. He'll be eight years old on January 11th, which is a show day, which is today.
Starting point is 02:10:54 Also, I'd like him to become a knight. His title will be Sir Ryan, Night of the Colorado Jungle. Now, the entire Sutton family are Royals in Durango. And here is my plug prepared for me. Hey, I just have to share. Rivers Edge Wellness Center is my go-to full-day spa, IV therapy, med spa, hormone therapy,
Starting point is 02:11:15 and in the summer, the only rooftop bar overlooking the Animas River. Book your experience at Riversedge Durango.com. I think she can land a helicopter there because I consulted on that for her for free. And she says, thank you for the best podcast in the universe. Well, thank you, Crypto Granny. We appreciate you very much, actually. Anonymous comes in with 3333333. Hey, Jans is my second 333333 donation.
Starting point is 02:11:44 He writes or she writes, it could be anybody. I reserved. I reserved. I served the nation for a total of 17 years between my army. in my contract time, I was effectively fired from my contract for refusing the COVID Vax. In 21, wow. No chance for an exemption was provided. My objections noted and preserved in email traffic.
Starting point is 02:12:11 Yes, good. I worked for a classified USG client providing high threat security, not allowed to say much more than that. Blackwater. But they should have not kicked me off the project. No, he didn't say that. I just made that up. I cannot find a lawyer to help me get justice for what they did to me and others with the COVID mandate. It seems many avenues are already closed due to the statute of limitations.
Starting point is 02:12:40 One of the five years, I don't think so. Which I find hilarious as we were never even noticed the mandate had been lifted. Notified. Notified the mandate had been lifted. Yeah, notified. Or notice is the same basically. It really changed the meaning. Reaching out to my elected reps has been no help, but I did get a good canned email.
Starting point is 02:13:06 Yeah, of course you would, about how bad RFK is. Yeah. I hit up ODNI as well. As I listened to Thursday show today, Saturday, I was struck by the notion I could reverse shill. Don't get me wrong. the donation shill isn't a bad thing if you need a resume or some candy. I don't get the candy joke.
Starting point is 02:13:29 Yeah, that's little John's candies. Oh, right. Little John's candy. So I decided to knock out donation number two and ask the no agenda nation. If there are any lawyers among them, brave enough to help me hold these bastards accountable to or try anyway, I don't run any daycare. So I don't know that I could pay you much. but if you think you did they take a piece of it I think but if you think we could win money you can
Starting point is 02:13:56 have however much you want you know it's a third is the max I know you lawyers run on that keep on keeping on Adam and John though I have paused my biweekly no agenda listening from time to time I have found value in the show since whenever Adam went on Tom Woods Tom Woods wow geez so in the early days of COVID thank you direct the lawyers to COVID law, COVID law at p.m.me. So I'm thinking, since it's a military case, maybe rob the constitutional lawyer former JAG. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:14:35 I don't know if he does these COVID cases or not. Could be an interesting one. You get all your back pay and some damages and probably get the lawyers paid for. Yeah, I think so. By the way, as you mentioned in the newsletter, I would like to remind everybody it's the end of the year. That means that your sustaining donations are probably expiring.
Starting point is 02:14:57 Credit cards do expire. And it is important that you check your sustaining donations if you have one for your instant night, your night layaway program, et cetera, because PayPal is a very poor job of letting you know that that's happened. Yeah, they just kick it. Yeah, they just kick it off. And it hurts the show. Onward with another 333.33 donation.
Starting point is 02:15:19 from Sir Aditya from Hyderabad, Hyderabad in India. India? Yes. Yeah, I think so. India sounds like it should be Pakistan, but that would be a mistake. India.

I've made it through two rounds over 22 months, the last one just three months ago with karma from the best podcast in the universe. I'm sure if I don't make it through this round, it's for a reason and there will be something better out there. I'd love a Reverend Manning boom shakalaka, followed by a little girl

Starting point is 02:21:10 Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth. Shut up. Yeah, that's a good idea, Matt. you. We should quit at episode 1999. That's a great idea. No.
Starting point is 02:21:36 No. I'm not going to do that. Hey, welcome back, everybody. As we mentioned before the break, John's got some really good clips regarding some AI stuff that Farage's event is supposedly behind. John, what do you have on deck for us? So there's this operation,
Starting point is 02:21:55 and you should check him out on YouTube because all the reports are very similar You should have started with, thanks, Adam. Yeah. And so. Can't play along. So, to a point. So this is UK King says no.
Starting point is 02:22:12 A minute ago, breaking news is shattering Westminster tonight. As King Charles takes a historic step, no monarch has dead in over three centuries, leaving the Prime Minister's government on the brink of a full-scale meltdown. Inside Buckingham Palace, events on unfolded that we'll be studied in constitutional law lectures for generations, exposing a scandal so monumental that mainstream media are scrambling to spin, soften and control the narrative.
Starting point is 02:22:41 But here is the raw, unfiltered truth that could redefine the future of British politics. At precisely 215 this afternoon, Prime Minister Keir Stama arrived at Buckingham Palace carrying the digital identity and migration control bill. The visit was expected to be routine. 20 minutes, a formal audience and royal assent granted as a matter of course. He was accompanied by his inner circle, including Chief of Staff Sue Gray, Communications Director Matthew Doyle, and Attorney General Victoria Atkins. They expected a rubber stamp.
Starting point is 02:23:15 Instead, they walked into what is now being described as a constitutional earthquake. According to three palace sources present in the room, King Charles refused to sign the bill. there was no delay and no request for amendments. The refusal was immediate and absolute. The king reportedly looked the Prime Minister directly in the eye and said six words that are already being described as historic. I cannot, in good conscience, approve this.
Starting point is 02:23:43 The room fell silent. Witnesses say the Prime Minister's face flushed red as the implications sank in. What followed stunned, even seasoned palace staff, the Prime Minister allegedly leaned across the ornate desk and issued what one courtier later described as a borderline treasonous warning telling the king that he was a ceremonial figurehead, not a politician, and that Parliament would remind him what happened to monarchs who forgot their place. Sue Gray is said to have audibly gasped. That's actually pretty good for a phony. I'd like it.
Starting point is 02:24:18 Yeah, it's when you start, well, for one thing, there's no documentation for this anywhere. No. But if you look at this operation, this UK's Brit Storm, they have all these phony reports. They got one from about three weeks ago where the same basic scenario took place. And Starmer has put through some stuff to end the monarchy. And this got Charles all bent out of shape and blah, blah, blah. That's his second report? No, the second one is just more of the same.
Starting point is 02:24:51 No, there's just tons of these. There's one after another, after another, after another, and each one is pretty much presented the same way. They show a lot of images. They have fake dirt on the screen, so it looks like, you know, I don't know why they do that with their videos. And they have, and then they always have, they keep cutting to Farage in all these videos.
Starting point is 02:25:12 And Starmer's, this is a jerk, and he's going to get killed, and he's treasonous, and then they cut to Farage, yelling, you know, shaking his fist at something. Then they go on and on and on about how bad Starmer is and they cut to Farage. So there's something, this whole, and this is on YouTube, and normally with these fake reports that you run into on YouTube, there's a, there's, if you read the about, if you read enough, it tells you that this is an enactment. Oh, no, no, it says at the very bottom it says, synthetic content, learn more. and you click on that link and it has this huge page about it's AI let's just shorten up that page it's AI yes but no they don't put the disclaimer oh really well yeah which I find interesting
Starting point is 02:26:01 that's illegal put a bikini on it so so this will another second half is just more of the same if you want to hear it yeah it's it's entertaining it's called king this i didn't have the UK just kings king Charles did not flinch remaining seated with his hands Hands calmly folded on the desk. He responded with measured precision. He told the Prime Minister that he had read every word of the bill and had consulted constitutional scholars, former judges and civil liberties experts and that his decision stood. He then did something extraordinary. The king slid a 40-page legal opinion across the desk, authored by Lord Sumption, one of the country's most respected former Supreme Court justices. The document reportedly dismantled
Starting point is 02:26:48 the bill's legal foundations in detail. Palace sources say the Prime Minister did not even glance at it. He picked up his briefcase, failed to make the customary bow, and stormed out of Buckingham Palace. Security footage leaked shortly afterwards appears to show the Prime Minister
Starting point is 02:27:04 moving rapidly towards his car, his anger clearly visible. But the crisis extends far beyond a dramatic confrontation between Crown and government. As ministers push through surveillance legislation with an estimated cost of 3.7 billion pounds.
Starting point is 02:27:21 Critics point to the state of public services and the treatment of veterans. Okay. I'm tired of it now. It's kind of fake. Yeah, if you played that much of it, go to the end and play the last little comment at the end because I thought that was the kicker. With alleged links to labor donors.
Starting point is 02:27:41 Three of the five companies expected to benefit reported. No, further. Further basket. No, go further ahead. Oh, it's almost at the end. The donors. Three of the five companies expected to benefit reportedly have senior executives who contributed to the Prime Minister's leadership campaign. Margaret Ellis, a retired postal worker from Yorkshire and a lifelong Labor voter,
Starting point is 02:28:04 summed up the public mood when she said that when the King shows more compassion for ordinary people than the Prime Minister, something has gone badly wrong. Okay, what's the kicker? That's the kicker that you would throw this thing in there where the king who doesn't care. He's showing more compassion than the prime minister. I thought that was a nice touch. There's a bunch of these out there. People have to be careful.
Starting point is 02:28:33 Well, yeah. I mean, YouTube has become a cesspool. You don't, I mean, Jeffrey Sachs, his voice is also used on a whole bunch of these videos. you'll see a different person and it takes you about a minute before like, oh, okay, so it's one of those phony sacks. They might as be watching Rumble. Rumble is probably better. It might be at this point.
Starting point is 02:28:57 So for the zoomers who have emailed us multiple times about the cost of affordability, in essence, is what they're talking about, cost of housing, et cetera. Here are three moves President Trump has made this week, which I thought were interesting. I have no clips because, you know, why would the news? report on it. The first is the president is urging Congress to create legislation, and there's a lot of excitement about this, to slash interest rates to 10% for one year. So cap it at 10%, which could make a big difference for a lot of people. I don't know if they can do that. I mean, is that something Congress whether they can or not. I don't think it would make a big difference. I think one counter argument to
Starting point is 02:29:43 this is that it'll just encourage people to use their credit cards more. You know, we don't make things worse. That may be, I think there's a lot of people who have probably three credit cards all maxed out and they're just paying interest and it's 24, 28%. So maybe it would be a possible. If you're smart, it will be maybe a way to get out of some of this. The second thing. If you're smart.
Starting point is 02:30:08 Operative words. Okay, but let's encourage. But you're not smart if you got three maxed out credit cards. cards. I'm trying to encourage the younger generation who are coming to us for advice. So what would your advice be instead of being snide towards them? What should they do if this indeed takes place? And that being snide toward them. I would say, don't use a credit card, pay with cash or debit cards. Okay. The second one we already discussed, the president calling for legislation to ban institutional investors in the housing market, which we discussed, and of course that's good. But the one,
Starting point is 02:30:43 that I've been thinking was going to happen, finally happened. I kept saying the president is doing something with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These are the two, the big mortgage backers, which I believe were pretty much nationalized during the 2008 created financial crisis. And he has told that, because they've been wildly profitable during all this time, and they have a lot of cash. And he said, go ahead and buy $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds, which immediately sent mortgage rates lower and they expect the rates to go 5%, maybe lower, in this coming year,
Starting point is 02:31:23 which would be great news for people with adjustable mortgages and maybe some better news for first-time homebuyers. Yeah, I agree. I told you something was going to happen, and we couldn't figure out what it was, but this was the gambit. That would work. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:31:41 It's a great idea. He's trying. See a Democrat president do something like that. Only a real estate guy could think of that. That's true. Really? Real estate guy. So I do have a genuine second half of show clip.
Starting point is 02:31:59 Okay. Well, then in that case, where is my second half of show? I haven't used it. It's not even in the, it's not even in the, it's not even in the lineup anymore. Where is the second? Oh, here it is. Now entering, second half of show. All right, second half of show.
Starting point is 02:32:21 Where are we going? Gravity, girl. NASA, space, aliens, gravity. Let's talk about my second favorite topic. So I saw this yesterday and this morning, and I actually thought it was pretty interesting. It randomly came up on my 4U page.
Starting point is 02:32:38 So it says on August 12th, 2026, so this coming August, the world will lose gravity for seven seconds, NASA knows. They are preparing, but won't let us know why. So according to the article that I read attached to that, it's saying that this is some project called Project Anchor that NASA has an $89 billion budget for. And the plan is to see if Earth can survive losing gravity. How they're going to do this, why they're going to do this, none of this the article talked about. You guys kind of know if you've been following me for a minute, how I feel about NASA. We just go ahead and reference the moonwalk on that one. Do I think they do some good things for sure?
Starting point is 02:33:17 Do I think they waste money? Absolutely. It's not really giving us any information, and now they're labeling it like the conspiracy theorists are talking about this. So my question to you guys, especially people that follow it a little more than I do, do we know what this is? Is it true? Is it going to happen? Somebody explain it to me?
Starting point is 02:33:36 Or is this just some more internet hype? But they're claiming it has something to do with that black hole or whatever that is. There's better terms that I don't know. And that's what's going to cause us to lose the gravity for seven seconds. Doesn't seem like a long time, but think about a seven second earthquake at a 9.0. What do we think about this? Conspiracy or something that NASA is probably really doing. Gee, let me think.
Starting point is 02:33:57 What do we think about this? Are you not just putting clips in and not putting TikTok in front of it just to throw me off? Is that what you're doing? It wasn't on TikTok. It was on Insta, I think. On the Insta. Well, hold on, hold on. Attention all the human resources. Now enter any second half of soul.
Starting point is 02:34:19 The answer, of course, is that, you know, nothing will happen. We'll just all bounce up for a bit because the Earth is flat. Here is some actual second half of show news coming to us from NASA, the administrator, Isaacson, who has, his ears could take us to the moon. I don't, I hate to be, you know, to talk about someone's personal appearance, but, dude, you know, pin those puppies back. Thank you, Bethany, and thank you for everyone being here on short notice. For over 60 years, NASA has set the standard for safety and security and crude space flight.
Starting point is 02:34:59 In these endeavors, including the 25 years of continuous human presence on board the International Space Station, the health and the well-being of our astronauts is always and will be our highest priority. yesterday, January 7th, a single crew member on board the station experienced a medical situation and is now stable. After discussions with Chief Health and Medical Officer, Dr. J.D. Polk, and leadership across the agency, I've come to the decision that it's in the best interest of our astronauts to return crew 11 ahead of their planned departure. Within the coming days, the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft will depart the International Space Station with Commander Zena Cardman, pilot Mike Fink, Kimya Yui from Jaxa, and Oleg Plotinoff of Rose Cosmos, and safely return them to Earth. We expect to provide a further update within the next 48 hours as to the expected anticipated undock and reentry timeline.
Starting point is 02:35:56 So this is raising a lot of questions. Like, what happened and who did it happen to? Is it the Japanese, the Jappanaut? Is it the cosmonaut? Is it an astronaut? What do you think? I think that one of them was a female, right? I believe so, yes.
Starting point is 02:36:15 Pregnant. Yes, that would be a medical incident. So she's pregnant. They don't want to, you know. Who done it? Who done it? And the way it went was, well, you know, it would be kind of interested to experiment with a birth in space.
Starting point is 02:36:36 In space. Well, we don't really have the right doctors. They wouldn't have an obstitute. You know, and have their deficit. Birth in space. Birth in space. And so you end up with, okay, well, we just got to ship them back.
Starting point is 02:36:51 That's the only reason not to say anything. They could have said somebody has an ulcer or they have a, you know, something. They would have told us some details if it wasn't something simple. I think you're nailing it here. That's what we do on this show. Next week, end of next week will be great. I'm very excited for the first time.
Starting point is 02:37:11 really excited about Davo, because we can't say Davos, it's Davo. Davo. Davo. Davo. Davo. Cmbc will be live at Davo sitting on the stupid snow set they're always at. But this is going to be great. President Trump is going to Davo and he's bringing with him. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik. Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The drinking club. Well, wait. Jameson Greer, head of U.S. trade policy, Steve Whitkoff, the deal man, AI and Cryptozar David Sacks, Michael Kratzios, head of the White House of Science and Technology Policy, and Dr. Oz. I mean, this is full force. This is going to be great. What do you think is going to happen? All right, we're here. This is a shakedown. Give us all your money. you're done. I have no idea where they're bringing.
Starting point is 02:38:13 What's Dr. Oz going to do? Oh, he's just along for the ride. He's fun. I bet he's a fun guy. He's just a fun guy. I'm sure Trump wants to. Hey, let's bring Oz. I think he's the handler.
Starting point is 02:38:24 Have you noticed his hair's turned dead white? Yeah, we've talked about that. He's got the CIA hair now. That's an interesting point. But you would listen to, I mean, you've got, look at all these guys. You've got Besson. Great job. Borg.
Starting point is 02:38:37 Wittekh, boring. It's a character. You know, David Sacks, annoying. Like, you bring in Oz, you know, Oz, he's probably got the jokes. Eh, maybe. Yeah, I think that's what it is. I got to tell you one. Hey, hey, Don, I got a great joke for you.
Starting point is 02:38:56 Listen to this one. What do you call five hookers in Davos? Rich. There it is. Hey, one final one for those of you who are on the, on the GLP ones. Gee, who would have thought this warning would have to come out? Weight loss medications like Wago v and OZembek have changed the game for people looking to shed a few pounds. However, new research shows people who stop taking the drugs could see an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Starting point is 02:39:25 Don't stop taking it! The study published in the British Medical Journal reviewed the trials of more than 6,000 adults who use GLP-1s and other weight loss drugs. The results are a cautionary tale as people who went off the meds, gained weight almost four times faster than those who simply stopped exercising or didn't stick to a healthy diet. That rapid weight gain then had a domino effect on overall health, as people then had an increased risk of developing conditions like high cholesterol and high blood pressure. Doctors say the findings point to how these medications are not a quick fix, and anyone looking to take the drugs should consider the long-term effects. Yeah, so whatever you do, don't stop taking it. You
Starting point is 02:40:08 Need to keep taking it. Oh, you know, we have a friend, I'll put it that way, who works at a plastic surgery center. And she says that the wealthier ladies, when they can't get, when, you know, because it's all, a lot of it's by prescription, but if they can't get their prescription filled, they, they're like drug addicts if they can't get their GLP one. They're freaking out. I need my GLP. I need my. I need my shot. I need to get it. I need to get it. And this only contributes to it.
Starting point is 02:40:43 This is, this is the, this is big pharma at work. Yeah, they do. You have to give them credit for doing their job. Yeah. Don't stop taking our meds. When did it become meds? Just like suss. Who says that? But meds, all the kids like, I got to take my meds. Meds. Who came up with that? Meds. You're diminishing powerful pharmaceuticals. goes to meds. Meds. All right, let's wind it up with some Berlin power. I'll play your clip first.
Starting point is 02:41:14 Is that okay? Yeah, this is a TikTok clip from a woman in Berlin, bitching a moaning about the lack of power. And I thought that report was as good as anything I've been hearing on the mainstream media. It's day five of the big Berlin blackout. And it's officially now the longest power outage in Germany's capital since World War II. And yes, it's minus six degrees right now here in the morning.
Starting point is 02:41:36 So people are freezing. in their homes. According to Berlin police, there has been a rise in break-ins robbers trying to get into people's homes or businesses or rubbing ATMs. They're rubbing. They're rubbing. Hey, Berlin, stop rubbing your ATMs.
Starting point is 02:41:51 Get into people's homes or businesses or rubbing ATMs. This city's power grid was attacked by allegedly a left-wing extremist group called the Vulcan Group. They claim to fight rich people and climate change by destroying infrastructure. But Berlin's mayor just
Starting point is 02:42:08 confirmed that anyone who was affected by the power outage and checked into a hotel that still had power will get their money back. Yeah. I have an actual M5M report on this, which I got from City News, which is still kind of a podcast group, I think. City News is not M5M. No, it's not, but it's a better report. German officials are calling it the longest blackout the country has seen since the Second World War. For tens of thousands of Berlin residents, power is finally being restored after nearly five days in the dark and cold following a suspected arson attack. The fact that the federal public prosecutor's office has now taken over, as the senator of the interior said here a few days ago,
Starting point is 02:42:52 underlines what this is about. Not a minor arson attack, not sabotage, but a terrorist attack. The mayor of Germany's capital says on January 3rd, a group of left-wing extremists set fire to a major power government. in the southwest portion of Berlin. He says the blaze immediately cut off electricity to 45,000 homes, 2200 businesses in multiple hospitals, leaving nearly 100,000 residents without heat or power during a period of freezing temperatures. Better protection of this critical infrastructure is important for Berlin.
Starting point is 02:43:27 We will be working closely with the other state premiers, but also with the federal government, to discuss how we can better protect critical infrastructure in our country. the left-wing extremist group known as the volcano activist group has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a protest against fossil fuels in Germany. In a statement, group leaders apologized to less affluent residents impacted by the power cuts, but said it, quote, has less sympathy for the many owners of villas. We don't care if you have villas.
Starting point is 02:43:59 So, climate activists, are you buying that? I'm not buying anything. I mean, it's possible because these guys are nuts in Germany anyway. And, you know, in the olden days, everyone would have a little hearth with a coal burning, you know, you could burn coal and it and keep warm during this periods of no power. Yeah. But you can't have that as illegal. And you can't, everything has to do. So all the, throughout, especially Berlin, it's all been electrified.
Starting point is 02:44:34 So everything has to be electricity. So it's just asking for trouble. Well, I mean, I don't understand why they're blowing up the power grid the way Germany's going. Just wait a year or two and it'll shut down by itself. Yeah, I will. Who needs that? I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.
Starting point is 02:44:54 Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on no agenda in the morning. And indeed, we do have a few people to thank. gave us $50 and above for today's show.

Starting point is 02:46:13 Joining me now is House Speaker and Meriden Nancy Pelosi Democrat from California. Just given everything that's lying about 25 years later. Well, today is an emotional day for all of us. Five years since the president of the United States incited an insurrection on the Capitol, on the Congress, on the Constitution, 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
Starting point is 02:46:47 Guard. He keeps saying, oh, I wanted it, but they didn't, with the mayor and 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. So it's, but what's important is our democracy. What happened then was horrible. It was horrible. Confederate fags under Lincoln's dome. Yeah, she said Confederate fags.

Hey, everybody, it's time before we go to listen to the fabulous tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Yeah, I want to promote, this is funny because I had one set up that I forgot to move over here.
Starting point is 02:56:42 So I'm going to go with my Manuka honey. Do you familiar with this stuff? You've talked about honey before. I don't know if this is. Not Manuka. Not Manuka? Okay. Yeah, it's Manuka honey.
Starting point is 02:56:53 In fact, we should look it up. M-A-N-U-A, I think it's not as pronounced. Manuka honey. It's native New Zealand tea tree, and it has high levels of methyl, methyl glyoxyl MGO, MGO, which is a wound. Do I want that? Do I want methyl glyoxol? It's an antibacterial, so you do want it. It aids wound, healing, digestion, and immunity.
Starting point is 02:57:25 This is the only honey that has this stuff in it. Everything else, you know, just a bunch of sugar. It also has blood sugar impacts, allergies. It has, you know, you should read about it before you use it because it's a very powerful product. But the reason I brought it up is because Mimi has this big dog. Yes. And the dog had got his toe in a bind that was going to be infected and it had to be the toe. Had to cut his leg off.
Starting point is 02:57:55 Had to cut his toe off. Oh. But she just doused it with my head. Manuka honey for about a week or two. Pull a protection over so the dog didn't leak the honey off. And it healed completely. Wow. And it's notorious for healing deep wounds.
Starting point is 02:58:13 Huh. It's a very notorious honey. Well, I've never heard of it. Very expensive. Does it taste good? I've never tasted it. So you just put it on your wound. I don't have any wounds yet, but I do have a jar of it. But it's stuff cost a fortune. It's like a little bitty jar is like 15 bucks.
Starting point is 02:58:31 Wow, but it's... And according to the medical people, you should only use medical grade, but now look into it because there is a grading system. And if you have the highest grade, Manuka Honey, which has got a rating of 10 or more, and the number's usually on the jar, it's fine. The things you learn on the No Agenda show.
Starting point is 02:58:52 Amazing. That is John's tip of the day. Noagenda fun.com. Tip of the day.net for all of them. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam, created by Dana Burnetti. Wow. I'm going to get some of that.

Hidding from the sun, the battle for the Arctic has already begun. Clives in the suits and the ties, selling off the soil while the firmafrost dies. Deep underground where the documents stay. the shift that's paved the way National security that's a story that they sell but it's a technocratic prison in a frozen shell the gateway
Starting point is 03:01:37 is opening the lock is in the hand 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 you need to know Oh yeah, oh yeah. It's much worse than we were led to believe.
Starting point is 03:02:29 Exactly the George Floyd stuff. Over and over and over again. It's like a loop. It's like a fracas. is a fractal. It's nonstop. 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. Zero credibility. Exactly the George Floyd's. It's a carbon copy. George Floyd II. Absolutely. They want to show. Tim Walts really is finding himself on the wrong side of history here with their sanctuary city policies.
Starting point is 03:03:06 It's like a loop. It's hard to say what you do in a moment like that. Carbon coffee. Let them ride and let them burn the tires. We won't let them tear us apart. A man of the people. A hero. This is all the talk.
Starting point is 03:03:27 The whole thing is sad. This is all designed to get more votes for the midterm. Put your body on the line. Get out there. Really? So I'm trying to run me down with a car. I might pull my weapon too. Not everything online by design is meant to spin you up.
