No Agenda - 1839 - "Feces Thesis"

Starting point is 00:00:00 By the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorak. It's Sunday, February 1st, 2026. This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation media assassination episode 1839. This is no agenda. We're all Krista Ferry is now. And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texasville country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

Starting point is 00:00:25 And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's not snowing here. I'm John C. DeVore. I wouldn't expect it to be snowing where you are. Makes no sense. Well, you know, I expected to be snowing in North Carolina to this extreme. Oh, I haven't looked. I haven't looked. I'm surprised.

Starting point is 00:00:45 I mean, he didn't send me a max velocity clip to look at. I smashed that like button and I hit the bell and got the subscribe, but I didn't get a notification about the snow in North Carolina. You didn't smash it enough. Hmm. Hey, happy Black History Month. Ah, yes, yes. Let me see. Have they done? No, no one's done anything about it yet on the mainstream. I'm disappointed.

Starting point is 00:01:12 You would expect them to do something about their favorite community. Well, there's too much stuff going on with global warming. Well, since you bring that up, here's a funny little ditty on climate change and the measures we take to combat. from Green Mountain, Vermont. Green Mountain Transit's program funds are stretched thin, and so are their buses. Take a look at this. These electric buses are less than a year old, but right now they're out of commission. These five new flyer electric buses, batteries, were recalled in November. The manufacturer said they are a fire hazard, so they can't sit in the GMT garage.

Starting point is 00:01:53 That's why they have that snow mohawk, or as I like to call them, snowhawks. The buses have to be 41 degrees to charge, and as Gunner just explained, there's not a day of 40s in sight. Oh, no. GMT is working with Vermont agencies across the state and sharing buses. It's another example of Vermonters working together to get us all where we need to go. Oh, yeah. Okay, well done, news reader lady. Work Vermonters. Did I say it was, did I not say it was Sunday?

Starting point is 00:02:18 Did I say a different day? Did I get my day wrong? Somebody, if somebody caught you saying, I wasn't. You weren't paying attention. I wasn't. I normally am, because I know you'd do this mistake. You want to start over? No, of course not. Now that I've called it out here, it's okay. You're right. Yeah, it happens sometimes. So I have two weather report clips. Oh, we are in the weather. They're not long. It's no big deal. Here's a weather report.

Starting point is 00:02:45 KU. This has got, because somebody, there's the word knuckles is in here. Let's go at that. Severe winter weather is attributed to at least 15 deaths in Kentucky in the last week. including an inmate at a Kentucky prison. Karen Tsar with Member Station W.UK.K.Y. and Lexington reports. 48-year-old Marvin Knuckles was part of a crew of inmates who were clearing ice and snow at the eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex when he fell down a 40-foot embankment and died. Kentucky's state police are investigating the death, but questions have been raised as to why this group was out in sub-freezing temperatures at night. when Governor Andy Bashir had given a statewide order to stay inside. Bashir has promised a full and transparent investigation. Decisions made good or bad.

Starting point is 00:03:33 They deserve to be seen by that family and by everyone else. Officials at the medium security prison say Knuckles volunteered for the ICE removal assignment. Knuckles. You just thought you just thought Knuckles was here. And by the way, why isn't a full investigation, a full investigation? why is all of a sudden everybody, especially on NPR, usually in Democrats, full and transparent, full and transparent. Is that different than full?

Starting point is 00:04:06 No, it's not. It is, in fact, wasting valuable airtime. I think so. And here's the other one I have, which is on the bomb cyclone, bomb cyclone. Oh, boy, it's still happening. The southeastern U.S. is beginning to feel the effects of a meteorological bomb cyclone ushering in blizzard-like conditions. And for the East Coast, in general,

Starting point is 00:04:26 very frigid temperatures, six to ten inches of snow could fall in Georgia, the Carolinas, and parts of the Appalachians. Just so you know. Those Appalachians, but okay. Just so you know, they're making this happen.

Starting point is 00:04:42 They are making this happen. It's all yours. Go. You know, I recognize, I recognize that now that I'm in my 60s, It was hard to say. Yeah, when I was a kid before I was in my 60s. Yes. I really have gone from being a conspiracy theorist to a conspiracy therapist.

Starting point is 00:05:03 It's just like, and if it wasn't for almost two decades of... This was discussed at the Albany, the Oakland meetup. Oh, yes. Which I have a lot of, by the way, there's going to be a lot of mentions. I've got to give it. Oh, good. Oh, good. Segment.

Starting point is 00:05:20 Yes. But the, which didn't get up. on the spreadsheet. It was mentioned, it was just discussed by more than one person about you. Yeah, and what were they saying? What you just said? What happened to Adam in the second half of show stuff and he's, you're more nutty than he is now? I didn't appreciate that so much.

Starting point is 00:05:40 But that sort of thing. Because we've been through it all. Everything's been said that needs to be said. And none of it ever comes true. none of it ever. Especially with all the cell phones in place now. This is the real problem I think they have. With everybody taking videos of everything,

Starting point is 00:06:00 where's the video of some alien walking down Main Street? Yeah. Thank you. Good point. But I think really what they're just mad about is I'm not on board with the Jew train and Israel. I think that's it. How come Adam is it on board with the Jew train and Israel?

Starting point is 00:06:17 What's going on with him? He should know better. That's what it is. That's what they're disappointed about. And Epstein. You know Trump did it. I do have... Did what? Did it all. He did it all. He's all part of it. Pedophiles, all of them. They're all being blackmailed by Mossad. I mean, I looked at my Twitter timeline, my inbox timeline, you know, the mentions.

Starting point is 00:06:47 And there's people sending me like a screen. screenshot of some grand jury testimony where Epstein writes to some unknown person because it's redacted. Yeah. And don't tell him on Mossad, okay? And the guy literally post that to me and says, oh, there you go. Still don't believe he's Mossad? Like, yeah, that's what you do. When you're Mossad, then you send emails saying you're not Mossad, and therefore you're guilty of being a a stooge from Mossad. Oh, brother. Well, the only funny thing that came up was the Gates memo.

Starting point is 00:07:26 That was kind of cute. What was the Gates memo? Well, the Gates, Gates saying I got STD. I need some minorbiotics. You get him to me so I didn't see that one yet. So I can dose my wife. Oh. Secretly?

Starting point is 00:07:40 Was he going to dose her secretly? Yeah. Oh. Well, there you go. now we know the true reason. If any wife finds out that her husband has an STD and then secretly is trying to dose her, yeah, that's grounds for divorce. Well, what happened?

Starting point is 00:07:59 That's horrible. What happened? What do you mean? They got divorced. Exactly. That's what I said. Now we know. By the way, I don't think I've ever said Epstein wasn't Mossad.

Starting point is 00:08:09 We know that he's intelligence because they said so. He could be multiples. You know, there are people out there that are working for more than one agency. Yes, MI6 is the first one I'd be looking at. Yeah, me too. Before Mossad. The BBC did do their little quick brisk comb. I do have some Epstein stuff because...

Starting point is 00:08:34 I have some Epstein stuff too, but my stuff is labeled Repstein. Okay. Sorry. Which from now on it will be Repstein as we speak of the... Repstein. The disgraced financier pedophile. Notice everyone can now call him a pedophile because he's dead. I don't think he'd do that if it hasn't been proven yet.

Starting point is 00:08:52 If he was alive. You can't know. When somebody's dead, people should know this legally. Yeah. You can start calling him stuff. Really? The guy is a rapist. What?

Starting point is 00:09:05 Great. Let's run through some BBC quickies here for a second. The new pictures show the then-Prince Andrew on the floor. kneeling over a female whose identity's been hidden. She's fully dressed, he's in jeans and a white polo shirt, but without shoes and socks, and he's seen placing his hands on her stomach. I love the description. I love the British. I'm going to describe this. Everyone has a phone, but okay, I'm going to describe the picture for you.

Starting point is 00:09:33 In the background, someone else is lounging with their feet on a table next to a couple of folded towels. Oh, no! The files provide no date or location for the images, but they're among a horrendous photo. Was that? Why did they make a big? This is like a boring, you know, the kind of, I have like taken probably a billion

Starting point is 00:09:55 photographs. A billion, wait a million, a thousand million photographs, really? Okay, let's, I'll back it off. Okay. But I've taken a lot, terabytes worth. Yes. And so you just go grab, and most of them are just. junk and I should have never kept half of them.

Starting point is 00:10:12 Yeah, it's all incriminating evidence. But just say you take one, some brando photo or, you know, the camera went off by accident. And then you describe it. These are not important pictures. When you're dead, man, they're going to find that and then they're going to call you all kinds of horrible things. Look at this picture. Look at that. By the way, I should have a disclaimer on that thing about calling people things after they're dead.

Starting point is 00:10:33 If there's an estate involved that is still making money on the person. They can sue you. They can sue you. Okay. So be careful. Files provide no date or location for the images, but they're among a number of documents in this latest release that raise even more questions about the judgment of the man

Starting point is 00:10:50 who remains eighth in line to the throne. Wait a minute. That's not true, is it? If he's been stripped of his title and his name, he had to go back to Mountbatten. Is he still eighth in line to the throne? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know how that peerage works.

Starting point is 00:11:09 We need, we need to that. Hey, at the no agenda show. Do we have a peerage expert besides me? The no agenda show, your kids are all eligible to take over your title. But I'll just claim that right now. It's okay. You can, you can be an heir to the time. It has to be a meeting.

Starting point is 00:11:28 Oh, no. What are you doing? Quiet with your meeting. Free Epstein in 2010, two years after he had been convicted of solicitation of prostitution with a minor and apparently written to Andrew, suggests that he meets a 26-year-old Russian woman in London for dinner. The reply by someone signing himself H.R.H., the Duke of York, K.G., says he'd be delighted. Epstein then writes back,

Starting point is 00:11:53 she's clever, beautiful, and has your email. In another revelation, the document suggests that later that same year... By the way, when I was a single man, where were those emails from me? She's clever. She's beautiful. She's Russian and she's got your email. Nope.

Starting point is 00:12:10 Never happened. By the way, with all we know about Epstein. You said, by the way. Oh, I did. I caught myself too. Not really. I heard it. Okay.

Starting point is 00:12:21 So that's a, I'm on my way to recovery. By the bye. So that's no good either. And so with all we know about Epstein and the underage girls from all over, your little blondes and brunette, all the girls from the USA and, you know, from Marlago and every place else, we're bringing in Russian spook girls, you know, honey pots. How does that, where do you, what, what changed? Well, remember, this is British royalty.

Starting point is 00:12:52 There's nothing, you know, just go watch the crown. You'll know that it's good to have something on British royalty. Then you can, you can get all kinds of stuff. So it would make total sense that Epstein sent in some, some honey pot. Gross. Yeah, pros, exactly. Andrew invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace. And then you get an invite to Buckingham Palace.

Starting point is 00:13:11 The former prince has strenuously denied all wrongdoing. But while his reputation arguably couldn't suffer any more damage, the files showed Jeffrey Epstein kept striving to save his own, sending an email to his publicist, suggesting they asked the former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, to release a statement saying she had been duped into believing false allegations about him. Well, let's hear the BBC about Sarah Ferguson. Also in the tranche of documents are emails suggesting Epstein supported Sarah Ferguson financially over a period of 15 years.

Starting point is 00:13:45 An exchange in 2009 shows Ms. Ferguson saying she urgently needed £20,000 for rent. The former Duchess of York has been approached for comment. She's been approached for comment. That's a good way to say it, you Brits. Man, this is great. got buddies like Epstein like I pay my rent okay no problem Fergie I'll take care of you and then there's Richard Branson in an email exchange in 2013 Epstein thanks Sir Richard Branson for recent hospitality and for his public relations advice on how to deal with claims against him regarding his conviction

Starting point is 00:14:21 for sex with an underage girl I love how the the high and mighty the rich and famous are all like I got some advice on how you can deal with this why would Richard and Richard Branson doesn't come across to me is some creepy guy? You know? Just doesn't? He's... I don't know. A friend of my who knows him says that he's actually financed either by Bahrain or Qatar. He's a frontman. Oh yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:47 The airlines, he didn't finance them. He got all... Yes, he is a front man. He is. Anyway. Sir Richard appears to reply anytime you're in the area, would love to see you as long as you bring your harine. Virgin Group clarified that. His what? His harriet

Starting point is 00:15:03 Yes, the Harim. As in Haram. But it's Harim. Harim. As you bring your Harim. Virgil Group clarified that was a reference to three adult members of Epstein's team and stated that Sir Richard would not have used the term or had contact if he'd known the full facts. Her spokesperson added that Sir Richard's contacts with Epstein were limited to a few group or business settings,

Starting point is 00:15:28 such as a charity tennis event more than 12 years ago. In an email exchanging... And then the final one is, of course, Elon Musk. Elon Musk, the world's richest man, exchanged emails with Epstein on two separate occasions in 2012 and 2013 to make arrangements to visit his island. Probably just Tallulah and me. Mr. Musk appears to write in reference to his ex-wife, the British actor. What does this mean Mr. Musk appears to write?

Starting point is 00:15:56 Did he write it? Did he not write it? Are they unsure? I thought it was his secretary that wrote it, one of his... Well, it's interesting that they use this. He appears to write that. Is that a hedge against lawsuits? I guess it's a hedge against something. Yeah. Probably just Tallulah and me. Mr. Musk appears to write in reference to his ex-wife, the British actress, Tallulah Riley. What day or night will be the wildest party on your island, he asks. Epstein replies, the Ray Show on my island might make Tallulah uncomfortable before Mr. Musk responds that ratio is not a problem for Tallulah. It appears,

Starting point is 00:16:31 Mr. Musk didn't... Tallulah, party, party. She likes to party. It appears Mr. Musk didn't visit the island on either occasion because of what he referred to in an email as logistical issues. On X, Mr. Musk posted that he had very little correspondence with Epstein and declined repeated invitations to go to his island or fly on what he call his Lolita Express.

Starting point is 00:16:56 Yeah, but that wasn't in the email. They just throw that in there. It's very interesting. That's poor reporting. If they did that. Yeah. Oh, yeah. No.

Starting point is 00:17:04 Musk did not say I can't wait to fly on the Lodito Express, nor did, as far as I know from whatever I saw. It's impossible. It's too much. Did someone throw it in AI already so we can just know what's supposed to come out? Well, now it's getting, yeah. Well, Musk, of course, just looking for more moms. I need more birthing persons.

Starting point is 00:17:24 So this morning on the Sunday morning shows, we had a lot of people show up talking about this, talking about all the important. things in the world. And the one I found most interesting was Rohana. That's what I call him, Rokana. Wasn't he the guy that said, I'm going to tax all the rich Californians? And then they got mad at him and then he started to talk about other stuff. Well, he's one of the male members of the squad and people keep forgetting that. He's actually a Democrat socialist for all practical purposes. Oh, I didn't realize he was a member of the squad. Yeah, original.

Starting point is 00:18:01 OG, OG squad member. Okay. OG. Here we go. Congressman Kana, welcome back. This is Manhans Welker. Congressman Kana, welcome back to meet the press. Oh, it's great to be here.

Starting point is 00:18:12 Good morning, Kristen. Thank you so much for being here. I do want to dive right in. Dive right in? What is she, AI now? She's diving. Let's dive right in. Thank you so much for being here.

Starting point is 00:18:22 I do want to dive right in and start with this trove of Epstein files that were released. Of course, you and Congressman Massey were behind the push to have these files released, the DOJ says it's withholding large portions to protect survivors, to protect security. Has the Justice Department fully complied with the law, Congressman? No, they haven't. They've released at best half the documents, but even those shock the conscience of this country. I mean, you have some of... How are you feeling? How's your conscience? A shock. Shocked. Shocked. Shocked the conscience. of this country. I mean, you have some of the most wealthy individuals, tech leaders, finance

Starting point is 00:19:09 leaders, politicians, all implicated in some way, having emails about wanting to go to Epstein's island, knowing that Epstein was a pedophile. It's frankly one of the largest kids. Hold on a second. I know. I thought you'd want to jump in here. So they didn't know anything. All they knew is the guy threw these tremendous parties or they were rumored to be, I guess, because I never heard it. Well, hold on. After his initial indictment and easy jail sentence, they should have known. Well, the thing in Florida, but no, who paid attention to that? That's my point. I mean, it's always assumed that everyone's keeping up with everyone. They're doing due diligence on every person they meet or talk to.

Starting point is 00:19:51 What it shows, what it shows. And you and I have both witnessed this with very rich people, mainly rich people. You get really rich people. They have all kinds of hangers on. And the number one group is always politicians. Always. You've seen it. I've seen it.

Starting point is 00:20:09 See Al Gore over there at Kleiner Perkins. Exactly. Wherever there's really rich people, there's politicians. And they do all kinds of cool, wacky stuff. Because people who are very, very wealthy, they have no limits. They're like, I do whatever I want. I'm rich. And to a large degree, that's probably true.

Starting point is 00:20:31 You know, within the bounds of the law, and of course, many of them slip over that. But that is life. And I think that that is the most interesting thing, whereas everyone's talking about, you know, pedophiles, pedophiles. Yes, technically, you have sex with someone who's underage. You're a pedophile. And I think Jeffrey Epstein seems to be a pedophile. But the thing that's interesting is this is the true Robin Leach life. lifestyles of the rich and famous.

Starting point is 00:20:58 This is how it really goes down. Why am I shouting? Champagne wishes and caveat dreams. This is the true lifestyles of the rich and famous. You're seeing how it really works. And it didn't end with Epstein. This is with anybody who's rich. You always have crazy parties, lots of celebrities,

Starting point is 00:21:18 politicians, drinks, drugs, everything. That is the life that I think people are now seeing. I hope that that's what they're looking at because you're not going to find much else, trust me. Oh, to Epstein's Island, knowing that Epstein was a pedophile. It's frankly one of the largest scandals, in my view, in our country's history, and there is a demand for elite accountability. But the survivors' lawyers that I've talked to have said that the survivors are still upset. They're upset that many of their names accidentally came out without redactions, and they want to make sure the rest of the files come out. Yeah, the rest of the files come out. Okay.

Starting point is 00:21:59 This is, this is kind of this interesting thing. What is a survivor in this instance? They keep talking about these survivors. Well, that's. Did they escape a shipwreck or were they, are they mentally incapable of continuing a normal life? I mean, what are the, who are these? I mean, it doesn't, I don't want to be callous.

Starting point is 00:22:24 No, no, it depends. A survivor would be someone who was groomed underage and sexually abused. I would consider that to be an absolute survivor. People who are of age who fell into the partying and the fun and all of that and got into stuff that they regret. But they're survivors too. Survivors of? Regret. Regret.

Starting point is 00:22:54 Yeah. Regret. Survivors of stupid decision making early in their life. I'm a survivor of 18 years of working with you and vice versa. There you have it. You're talking about some of those big names being implicated. Are you suggesting that there should be more charges filed? Because at this point in time, no new charges have been filed against anyone.

Starting point is 00:23:17 Charges for what? I do think the prosecution needs to look at seriously bringing charges. But there are two different issues here, Kristen. There's some people who committed crimes, and that needs to be looked at. We need to understand who. That's the thing. I think he's treading water here because there just aren't any crimes in any of these documents. That's the point.

Starting point is 00:23:38 There's no crimes in the documents, but in the case of that we don't, I mean, there were probably some underage, okay, there was some probably underage sex taking place. I have to guess this is true because it's just. seems to be. Epstein for sure. Epstein himself. Yes. On a foreign island that has, you know, under the jurisdiction. Well, hold on. Isn't it the U.S. Virgin Islands? Yeah, but what's the laws? What is the Asia consent? Well, the whole reason for that island was for the money laundering as far as I'm concerned. It just happened to be a great party place. The whole thing is, but, but, you know, these crimes, they're not, who's going to, who's going to prosecute? Did you have it? Okay, so somebody did something on divergent?

Starting point is 00:24:25 Island, who's going to prosecute it? Where is it going to be prosecuted? How, under what circumstances would they be arrested? I mean, it's just something that is at this point, it's beyond, it's just too late. But this is not about Epstein. This is about Trump. Yeah, you're right. What am I thinking? This is not about Epstein. What am I doing? I'm trying to make a logical conclusion here. There's got nothing to do with anything. Stop it. Jeffrey Epstein, those names haven't come out. In fact, they were covered up. Wait a minute. Whoa, what did you say here?

Starting point is 00:24:58 Hold on a second. Catch this. And we need to understand who were some of the associates of Jeffrey Epstein. Those names haven't come out. In fact, they were covered up. That's quite the allegation. What does he mean by associates other than Galane Maxwell? And those names were covered up?

Starting point is 00:25:17 I mean, what does he really want? He wants. You know, he's talking through his hat. We need to understand who may have abused or raised. raped underage girls. But then there's a broader issue, and that is that there are rich and powerful people who may not have committed a crime, but who are emailing Jeffrey Epstein well after he's a pedophile, talking about going to his island. I love that. Well, after a date to a need to turn okay, on June 8th, he became a pedophile. Before that, he was a normal guy. What? But who are

Starting point is 00:25:49 emailing Jeffrey Epstein well after he's a pedophile, talking about going to his island, talking about wanting to participate in wild parties. And the American people are asking. Hey, stop the presses. Everybody wants to participate in wild parties. Don't they? I'm with you on that. At least be there.

Starting point is 00:26:09 At least get an invite. Well, if you know there's, hey, Bill over here has wild parties. Have you been to any of these wild parties? No, I've never been to one of them. I've got to be honest. I've never been to a wild party. Or I left early. wild party

Starting point is 00:26:28 I got to go prep my actually now in the there was a period of time where there was a lot of of uh oh it's origy

Starting point is 00:26:40 organized there's a name for this this process there were literally organized orgies pre-AIDS which cropped up around the 80s so in the 70s there was especially

Starting point is 00:26:52 I've never been to one of these but I've always thought about it. And there used to be Plato's retreat in New York City, which was notorious. In fact, there was a Playboy... Isn't that a mustache man's place? I don't know who mustache man is. A Bolton. Wasn't he a member of Plato's Retreat?

Starting point is 00:27:10 Wasn't that the fart-sniffing place? It was a nightclub. Where was the fart-sniffing place, wasn't that? But you had to get into, you had to somehow get into it. Buck Henry, the great writer, wrote a piece in Playboy magazine where he went to to Plato's retreat and wrote it up as a kind of a essay, long essay, a feature. And he described what was going on. And it just sounded like it was an orgy.

Starting point is 00:27:38 It was people like, you know, walking around screw and everything that they could see over and over again. There were girls, you know, pulling a train. If you can remember what that term means, there's all this stuff going on. And he was witnessing it all. And this was going in the 70s, there was a lot of this sort of thing. going on here and there and they were called and that what i would assume would be a wild party and so they kind of disappeared with aids aids kind of put the kibosh on wild parties because

Starting point is 00:28:09 of the nature of the of the ailment yes and then so things calm down there hasn't been but then did you hear about some guy still doing them you'd well i'd like to get in on that i can't get past you're pulling a train comment oh my god Listen to that horn. All right, let's ask the robot for a second. Tell me about Plato's retreat in New York City. Plato's retreat was a well-known swingers club in New York City during the 1970s and 1980s. It was famous for its exclusive atmosphere and played a significant role in the context of the sexual revolution of that time.

Starting point is 00:28:50 The club eventually closed in the mid-1980s. Oh, significant role in the sexual revolution of that time. Yeah, right. Yes, that's wonderful. Okay. Free sex. Let me see. Oh, they were called free sex parties.

Starting point is 00:29:04 That's what they were going in the 70s. Let's get back to them. And they were advertised. Let's get back to the clip. Fowl talking about going to his island, talking about wanting to participate in wild parties. And the American people are asking how are rich and powerful people living in this country? What more code are they living by? Some of those revelations are deeply disturbed.

Starting point is 00:29:27 No, no, this is, you're right. This is what everybody wants to know. Tell me about these parties. But these guys are living it up. How can I get invited? I think you're right. And he's like, oh, it's deeply disturbing. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:39 Now, everyone's approved, especially the Democrat side on the end of the squad. Oh, they went to a wild party. Oh, nasty, nasty people. Give me a break. We continue. Let me ask you about what comes next from your perspective. You've threatened contempt charges and even impeachers. and even impeachment for Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Starting point is 00:29:59 And I wonder, are you at a point where you are prepared to move forward with contempt and impeachment charges against the Attorney General? Well, as you know, Christian, Thomas Massey and I brought this up in middle of December. We still have not moved on it because we are trying to give the Justice Department some benefit of the doubt. They did do a release that was significant. I mean, this is the most documents that we have seen released. so far in history, but it is not good enough. And so Thomas Massey and I have requested a meeting with the Deputy Attorney General. He said he's open to meeting with members of Congress. He said he's open to explaining why the redactions were done. So I hope that we will have a meaning

Starting point is 00:30:44 if we don't get the remaining files. If we do not get the remaining 302 forms, the remaining prosecution memo from 2019, and if the survivors are not happy, then Thomas Massey and I are prepared to move on impeachment or contempt. See, the problem is, and I'm not sure who launched it, but I'm pretty sure it was from the Democrat Party, is the concept of a client list. I can't recall Trump ever talking about a client list because that is not, you know, how it works in just media, social media in general. Trump ran on releasing the Epstein client list.

Starting point is 00:31:22 And, you know, this is like a throwback to how. Heidi Fleiss, the Hollywood madam. Right, it is. Exactly. You assume that there's a little black book. Yes. And that's just not going to exist. That's the problem.

Starting point is 00:31:39 Well, Elaine Maxwell said so already. Yeah, but that doesn't count. It's like somehow people are completely convinced. It's, what is the, what is that the Barronstein's thing? Was it, what is that cosmic shift? What do we call that? Oh, yeah, that. Thanks.

Starting point is 00:31:59 Yeah, that's helpful. Oh, yeah, that. Yeah, that. Where everyone believes that there's this client list and that it exists. And I guarantee you it never existed. It just makes no sense. Mandela effect. There you go.

Starting point is 00:32:15 Thank you. Took a second. The Mandela effect. And I looked. There is no. These weren't, I mean, this guy was a network. Maniac. Yeah, we have his address book.

Starting point is 00:32:31 And the address book is all there is. I mean, what more do you want? Does he have one with a bunch of stars next to the names or check marks or whatever? Crash planes? A file maker database. Yeah. File maker database, which, by the way, if they had, they kind of wouldn't surprise you because it turns out the two of them were online all the time.

Starting point is 00:32:55 They were both gamers and geez. One more clip here. Well, let me ask you about another aspect of this former president, Bill Clinton, who is named in the Epstein files and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have refused to comply with the House subpoenas in the Epstein investigation. We should note nearly half of your Democratic colleagues in the oversight committee voted to hold the former president in contempt as a result. You voted no congressman. And I do want to set aside whether you think the subpoenas are fair. Do you think anyone has the right to ignore a congressional subpoena? No, I do not.

Starting point is 00:33:36 And that's why I voted for civil contempt. And I've also said that President Clinton should come before the committee, but he should come after all the files have been released. And he should come in conjunction with Daughter. But it's premature, in my view, to hold it. in criminal contempt. Yeah. So. Oh, brother.

Starting point is 00:33:58 Yeah. Yeah. So, but this is about one thing and one thing only. It is just about the 2026 election. And as, as witness here by Chuck Schumer. They say they collected six million pages, but they're only releasing three. What happened to the other three million? What's in them? And finally, has every document that mentions the word Trump been released.

Starting point is 00:34:24 Yes or no. We need answers. It's now 42 days in counting that the administration has violated the law by failing to release all the files. Go do the people's business of New York, Chuck Schumer. No, his business is what it is, which is getting the Democrats to win. They just won another little election in Texas. Oh, did that the Christian socialist? Did he get in?

Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah. Oh, that's an interesting guy. Yeah, well, he's a socialist and he's a Democrat. His Christianity is also a little wonky. Like, Jesus is a concept. Okay, all right. Jesus is a concept. So your clips outshine my two Scott Simon clips.

Starting point is 00:35:15 Well, I know why you're saying it that way, which means we're probably going to have to play the jingle. You want to play your Scott Simon? clips or not. Oh, here we go. There we go. Simon. Simon.

Starting point is 00:35:32 All right. Okay, so here we go. These are, again, by comparison to what you dug up from the, especially the BBC clips, which are outstanding. Thank you. These are just kind of what NPR has got to say. The Justice Department says it has finished releasing the Epstein files. Friday morning, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said another three million pages were published.

Starting point is 00:35:54 With respect to certain materials, a large. quantity of the materials. A rigorous process was undertaken to protect victims against any clearly unwarranted invasion of their personal privacy. But a team of NPR reporters reviewing the files have found that's not always the case. Political reporter Stephen Fowler is one of those reporters and joins us, Stephen. Thanks for being with us. Good morning. What has been released? There are more than 2,000 videos, 180,000 images. You've got internal files about Epstein's criminal cases and court documents, private files from his emails and text messages with people. And like the other releases, these files have no sense of organization or context and are often

Starting point is 00:36:38 heavily redacted. That said, we did find examples of Epstein's victims' names and photographs being unredacted. In some cases, texts that Epstein sent, his name was redacted. And we even found a picture of President Trump's face in a news article hiding behind a black square. No, no. Candle. That's great. It's like people are paid now to just sit there for NPR and go through all that. I found a picture of Trump.

Starting point is 00:37:11 It's been redacted. Sums up. Was he making a funny face? All of that. Something's up. Something's up. All of that. People have to understand that we are counterculture.

Starting point is 00:37:25 So, you know, when everything was, oh, Obama's great, we're going to, no, he's probably not great. Let's go find out. You know, everyone hates Trump. And so, like, yeah, we'll go take a look and see what's out. We're counterculture, but people, you know, it's like, well, there's got to be something in these Epstein files. 20 years, going on 20 years teaches us, no, that's just not going to be. It's easy to see. Yes?

Starting point is 00:37:54 Yeah, you're right. There's nothing going on. It's going to be, you know, there'll be a few little tidbits like the Bill Gates thing and Musk begging to go to a wild party because why wouldn't he? Your Elon Musk, yeah. And my wife likes wild parties. A bunch of babies out there. I want to go to a wild party and get some more moms. All of that being precious.

Starting point is 00:38:19 Anything new and noteworthy you found so far. Yeah. Well, looking through the chaos, we did find new conversations with high-profile things. high profile figure. And Thomas Massey, Thomas Massey's certain about it. Thomas Massey is being primaried. He needs this. This is a godsend for Thomas Massey.

Starting point is 00:38:37 That's why he's on this. You think Thomas Massey really, this is what he wakes up in the middle of the 90s. Oh, man, I got to find this corruption amongst the way. No way. He wants to stay in office. years that are deeper and in some cases more recent than we knew before. People like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, former Obama White House Council Kathy Rumler, even Trump's new Federal Reserve chair pick Kevin Warsh shows up on an invite list

Starting point is 00:39:08 for a Christmas gathering in 2010. This is important to note, though, the mentions and conversations in this file are not indications of wrongdoing or association with Epstein's crimes. That's also true for an email in the files that contain a collection of unverified allegations of salacious and inappropriate conduct by Trump and others. The Justice Department pointed to a press release that says files may include, quote, untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump. By the way, and I said it. I caught myself too late. Oh, damn.

Starting point is 00:39:41 And I didn't catch it. Caught myself late. Caught myself late. Yes. Yes. This is grand jury testimony. There's tons of outreesome. Rageous claims that are sent to the NYPD and FBI and even there are.

Starting point is 00:39:56 Like, really? I mean, okay, well, we'll take the, you know, and then I was inducted by an alien. Okay. Yeah, there's that too. It's probably in there. That's grand jury. Grand jury, as they say, a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich or Don Lemon. I mean, either way.

Starting point is 00:40:12 This is what grand jury testimony is never published, except in this one case where they created a law in Congress and said you have to release that because it all you know it's not like there's no defense it's just people this in allegations no cross-examination no cross-examination yeah I think we should uh she would indict this guy that's how it goes three million pages there's a lot for you to and other reporters to go through what you're looking for in my job scotch or shish what a shaft to shoe coming days our initial dive has found a trove of information that is already out there and court cases and early releases of the files, but there's so much left to explore from Epstein's private correspondence, financial documents,

Starting point is 00:40:58 and other communications that widened the web of Epstein's associates. Beyond the files themselves, though, attention is turning to what isn't there. The Epstein Files Transparency Act directs the Justice Department to share with Congress all of the redactions they made and why within the next two weeks, And they said that covers about 200,000 pages worth. We've also already seen displeasure from victims who say their names were exposed while other people who committed abuse were left protected and from members of Congress who say the Trump administration has not followed the law. And in a way, publishing three million files like this in this manner just makes closure and finality even less likely for everybody involved here. That was the whole point. They released three million and now they say this not.

Starting point is 00:41:48 Did it wrong. You did it wrong. You did it wrong. This is like the joke about, you know, the food at this restaurant is so bad. Yeah, and the portions are so small. It's just like you can't win with these people. But it's great because worldwide people are showing up in these documents. Marco Atisari, he is the son of Marti, Atisari, Finland's former president.

Starting point is 00:42:13 and he's on some tech company, some satellite company. He has to come out, make a statement. Jeffrey Epstein's criminal conduct of the convictions related to him are a grave and unequivocal, condemnable. I have had no personal professional relationship here with him. It's like this is exactly what you get from this. The guy was a money guy. He was a money guy. He was a laundering money.

Starting point is 00:42:36 And he was a massive networking guy. And he was being aided by one or more intelligence agencies, obvious. Yes, as a lot of money guys are. Everybody, I mean, it's a miracle we didn't meet. I almost did, by the way. I actually did it. Let me just check. Let me see you.

Starting point is 00:42:52 I came very close. Well, you came close to meeting Epstein? Oh, very close. I was invited to one of the events. A party? You invited to a party? No, I was invited to somebody at third party's party that had Epstein as a guest who was horning in on it.

Starting point is 00:43:07 And I could have gone to it. But in my, I like to joke about it. this classic, I would, I don't want to make myself a legend, but it's classic DeVore. You are a legend, man. It was like, I'm here sitting here in, you know, in Northern California and there's, oh, yeah, you want to come to this, this billionaire's dinner, all these famous guys, you were going to have all the CEOs. And then I found it later Epstein was there.

Starting point is 00:43:33 It was done by my, you're aging. Yes. Yeah, and it was in Monterey, and I'm looking at the clock. I'm looking at what's TV? And I said, should I? Should I drive? No, no, what day? I'm staying home.

Starting point is 00:43:45 Forget it. This is like canceling, you know, I've done this with trips on the air place. I'm calling in. I'm not going. Dukes of Hazard is on. I have no desire to go. I have no.

Starting point is 00:43:55 What do I want to drive to Monterey for? Who care? I meet a bunch. I met these guys before. They're just, it doesn't do me any good. I've made no money from the experience. What difference does I make?

Starting point is 00:44:08 Yeah. Now, that is it right there. I make no money from the experience. What difference is a name? Yeah, I just show you meet some famous guys. What do you get out of it? Oh, I met so-and-so. So moving on to Don Lemon,

Starting point is 00:44:22 because I do have a couple things I want to discuss regarding this, mainly the horrible education we have in our country. And to start it off, congratulating you, because, you know, you brought up the obvious point that Don Lemon's producers were handling him. and he was inserted into this op. It was a CI. And I almost predicted to the day when they'd arrest him.

Starting point is 00:44:48 Yeah, you were very close. They had to arrest him. Yep. Hey, how can we didn't do a prop bet? We could have written a contract on Kelsey. We could have written a contract. We could arrest him. That would have been a good prop bet.

Starting point is 00:44:59 So let's just talk about this for a second. Because there's all kinds of fun people around this. And again, education in our country is very, very sad. Former CNN journalist, Don Lange. Lemon has been arrested in connection with an incident at a Minnesota church. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement this morning. On January 18th, Lemon attended a protest that disrupted a service at City's Church in St. Paul. The protesters said one of the pastors is the acting field director of the St. Paul Ice Field Office. Bondi said Lemon and three others were

Starting point is 00:45:31 arrested in connection with the quote, coordinated attack on City's Church. Lemmon's attorney said today that the journalist was taken into custody by federal agents while he was in Los Angeles covering the Grammy Awards. The attorney called Lemon's arrest a quote unprecedented attack on the First Amendment. So we're going to talk about the First Amendment in a minute. But the first thing we need to do is recognize that Don Lemon has never been a journalist. Don Lemon is a newsreader. That is what he's always been, maybe some entertainment interviews, where he was an interviewer, but can you remember where he was ever a journalist

Starting point is 00:46:11 and collecting news and sorting through things? No, I don't remember ever doing that. Well, of course not, because he's not. In fact, he was an entertainer. He was fired when he wasn't getting along with the two ladies on that morning show. What was the name? Well, he actually brought in somebody.

Starting point is 00:46:29 He made the, his commentary was that some women get too old. for, he had an ageist, sexist, it wasn't a joke. It was a dead serious comment he made about don't you think women are too old to do something or other. And it was, I'm sure we could dig up the exact quote, but it got him fired. Yes. And it was an entertainment show. He wasn't doing, if anything, CNN is analysis, but it's not, it's not journalism in the

Starting point is 00:46:59 classic sense. If you would call that analysis. Yeah. It's a propaganda front. So coming right out to defend. Don Lemon and his First Amendment rights, which is a gross misrepresentation of what all of the Bill of Rights are, is the closely associated with all kinds of intelligence, Jane Fonda, who at 88, I have to say, man, she's spry.

Starting point is 00:47:27 She's, you know, all the work, she has good work has been done on her. And I'm just impressed with her just jumping up and down. and run up and down steps. Well, she's always been in good shape. She had a couple of bones removed. Oh. She had that. Yeah, she had, she's one of those people that had a couple of those ribs removed to make her, you know, shape, hang in there.

Starting point is 00:47:49 Oh, really? Is that a fact? Do you know this for a fact? Has she? I know, I think Dolly Parton did, too. It's not an uncommon procedure. But anyway, and she deserves props for being 88 and a spry. Yeah, she still sounds like, you know, this.

Starting point is 00:48:05 This is kind of annoying to me. These women, Elizabeth Taylor was the worst case example. She got into, I think, into her 80s, but she had so, she had, now there was good plastic surgery, which I think is rare. Yeah, but the rest of her body gave out. And bad plastic surgery. Elizabeth Taylor had, I think, pretty good plastic surgery. So she looked like she was in her 40s or 50s when she was 80.

Starting point is 00:48:34 Yeah. But then she would go on a talk show and looking like a 40-year-old woman and sounding, when I was a kid, fiddle sticks. Well. She had, and Jane Fonda has the same element of being an old woman when she talks that Elizabeth Taylor did. Not quite as bad. I have a clip. So I know Don Lemon.

Starting point is 00:49:00 My husband created CNN. Isn't that the one she abandoned? Did she abandon? I think Ted Turner died on her. Well, no, she'd already divorced him, I think. Oh, let's look into it. Let's ask the robot. But yeah, well, she marries Ted Turner becomes a Republican.

Starting point is 00:49:19 You know, this woman is one of these flip-floppers. Hold on a second. Was Jane Fonda still married to Ted Turner when he died? Ted Turner is still alive. No, he's not. He and Jane. What? What?

Starting point is 00:49:36 Robot. You're wrong. Ted Turner is dead. What are you talking about? I apologize for the misunderstanding. But according to my current information, Ted Turner is still alive. He and Jane Fonda divorced in 2001. All right, Google. Is there something specific you were wondering about? No, I'm not wondering about anything after that answer. Was Ted Turner still alive or not?

Starting point is 00:50:02 Well, no, he's not alive. He died. He died of Alzheimer's, I think. horrible, horrible slow death. Well, let's look this up. Now we're stuck here with this conundrum, with this damn robot telling us that we don't know. Robot, are you sure Ted Turner, who created CNN and Turner Networks is alive? Yes, I am sure.

Starting point is 00:50:30 Ted Turner, the founder of CNN and Turner Broadcasting, is still alive today. There seems to be a persistent misconception, but he is not deceased. You know, maybe it's true. Maybe he's still alive. I'm looking it up. I don't see any evidence that he's dead.

Starting point is 00:50:46 Well, I, I, I, I'm sorry. The, the, the news of Ted Turner's death has been greatly exaggerated. Is the robot right? I think the robot is right. The robot's right. I'm not finding any evidence of his being dead. I was so sure he was dead. I was too.

Starting point is 00:51:03 Anyway. In fact, it's so, and you go to Google, they even have a, is Ted Turner still alive? you know, something. It's the Mandela effect. Here it is still alive. It was January 2025 as of January 2025. Wow. He's 86.

Starting point is 00:51:19 He's recuperating at a rehabilitation center by being hospitalized from pneumonia. Wow. And he has Louis body dimension. Oh, that's bad. That's bad. That's well. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:51:29 I didn't mean to. Yeah, he's got alive. So he has. So the robot rules. The robot has done a good job. The robot has saved us from him. I'm kind of irked the fact that I thought he was dead. So I know Don Lemon.

Starting point is 00:51:42 My husband created CNN. And I will fight for their right to speak, which is guaranteed in our Constitution. Correct. That's correct. That part is correct, Jane Fonda. I just want to read the First Amendment. Here we go. It's important because everyone is doing this wrong.

Starting point is 00:52:03 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. such as crustafarianism, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, which means that's Congress, that's the government, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press. And just to put that into context, when this was written, the press literally meant the press, the printing press. Am I correct on this, John? Well, it did refer to the news to newsmate, to news.

Starting point is 00:52:37 reporting via the reporting press that's where the word came from the press the press came from that word because once the whether it's the pamphletier or the New York Times. The pamphleter would be the same thing yes so but you have the right to say and publish

Starting point is 00:52:54 and print whatever you want of course there are tort laws and that is correct but that's that's not what Don Levin was doing they arrested the wrong Don. That's a good line Don Lemon is a professional journalist.

Starting point is 00:53:13 No. And his producer were doing their job. Nothing more, nothing less. And he's been arrested. And they'll make up all kinds of defamatory things to say about him. That's what they're doing. This is how autocrats act. We can't fall for it.

Starting point is 00:53:32 We have to speak up. When a red line is crossed like this, We cannot be silent. Thank you very much. Now, wasn't Jane Fonda involved in all kinds of agency, antics, certainly regarding Vietnam? I mean, she was involved in a lot of different. Hanoid, Jane.

Starting point is 00:53:52 She used to go to Vietnam and preach for the Vietnam. For the communists, yes. Yeah, she was a communist. So now we have... And then she was married to Tom Hayden, who was a radical out of the University of California, Berkeley. and he was an ugly fucker too. It's weird.

Starting point is 00:54:10 And so she married this guy and they were cohorts in time for a long time. No, no, let's just stop. When you're Jane Fonda, at a certain point, you think, well, maybe if I just get this ugly guy, he'll just love me, you know, and he'll just stick with me and won't be a douchebag because he feels so lucky. I think how many times you've been married? Five times, four or five times? Who, Jane Fonda?

Starting point is 00:54:32 I'm not even going to ask the robot because we're going to get it all wrong. no doubt. No, I don't want to guess. Well, she's been, we know she was married to Hayden and said, maybe somebody else. I don't know. We could look it up. It'd be easy. It's not that interesting. I'm going to look it up. Okay. Meanwhile, we got to stop being, we can't, we're starting to act like podcasters. We now go to a First Amendment lawyer on ABC. Tonight's social story. That's where we post three stories on social media and you decide which story we cover. This week's choices were Don Lemon's release. and federal charges, Catherine O'Hara's lasting legacy, and the changes coming to SNAP food

Starting point is 00:55:10 benefits. With 47% of the vote, you chose the Department of Justice's case against Don Lemon. I find this amazing. So the choices were Catherine O'Hare, great actress. She passed away, very young, 72, I believe. Snap changes coming to SNAP benefits, which just two months ago was the most important thing in the entire universe. But no, the number one story for ABC viewers is Don Lemon. According to a court indictment, Lemon and others are now facing federal charges in connection with a protest disrupting a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. You can't disrupt the church services, the Face Act.

Starting point is 00:55:51 Listen to the First Amendment lawyer. And independent journalist Georgia Fort, who was also arrested, have been released from custody. Lemon says he is not guilty, and he and his attorney plan to fight the case. Here to break this down is First Amendment lawyer Jeff Lewis. Jeff, administration officials say they're actually protecting the First Amendment rights of the worshippers at the church where the protest happened. What do you make of the government's case here? Which, by the way, I disagree. I said it again. Man, I got to stop doing that. I had to catch myself now. I disagree. Well, I'm, I'm, by the way, I've said this by the way, I've said this for the last 18 years.

Starting point is 00:56:24 You just said by the way. Oh, my God. But by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, I'm going to say it enough times I get it out of my system. Maybe if I say it too much, it'll be even better. But I've noticed over the years that you are better at this at catching yourself. You're more professional than I am. And I proved it right there. And so I'm going to be the one holding the bag when this is done because I'm going to still be saying it. Yeah. Okay. And it's all right. And you've got to stop me every time I, you've got to stop the show. I'm stopping myself, stopping the show for myself. I just wanted to point out that. protesters interrupting the church service is not a violation of their First Amendment right,

Starting point is 00:57:10 which is not a right is a God-given right, because the only thing in the First Amendment says that Congress can't make a law against it. Right. So it's not, this is what I, this pisses me off. I know, this is bold crap. They don't even, why don't they bring it to what it is really about, which is the Face Act? They're not going to do that. The F-A-C-E Act.

Starting point is 00:57:30 That's what he violated. the law that he broke. Why don't they talk about that? Because they are all missing, they're... No, no. You assume that they're misinformed. No, they're doing this on purpose. No, no. Even the First Amendment lawyer gets it wrong. Listen to this nonsense. Well, the government is right in the sense there is a... On purpose. Nah. A clash here between the rights of citizens to enter and exit a house of worship and pray without interruption. No. That, FAS Act, yes, but not the First Amendment. That right. And the right of journalists to report on the news, to gather the news, to show to America what's happening in Minnesota. Those are in conflict. This is not true. This is insincere.

Starting point is 00:58:14 You think this guy's sincere. Well, let's continue. Let's get down to brass tax here. Do you think this could ever get to trial? Well, let's talk about that. Three judges have looked at these criminal charges before a grand jury indicted Don Lemon. And those three judges all declined to force criminal charges here. So in that was Democrat judges. I would expect that it not to go to trial if a judge ever has a chance to dismiss this case. And let's say it does go to trial. Does the Justice Department have a strong case here or is this mostly symbolic? It depends on how you measure the objectives of the administration.

Starting point is 00:58:46 If the administration's objectives are to get a criminal conviction and get Don Lemon in jail, I don't think there's a strong chance at that. On the other hand, if they want to punish Don Lemon and have him have to spend money on attorney's fees, that could be viewed as success. And as to the merits of the case, the prosecution would have to prove that Don Lemon entered that church with the intent to either destroy property or interrupt services in a way that impinges on constitutional rights.

Starting point is 00:59:14 No. Big Hill. No. It's the Face Act. In fact, the indictment itself mentions the Grand Jury report, I'm sorry, specifically points out the Face Act. And it was like, well, you can read it for yourself. But this is what.

Starting point is 00:59:29 what this results in. Here are, I'm just bringing this up, and we'll get back to Lemon, but this is Colorado students cutting class to go protest against ice. And I just bring it up because it's or were they cutting class or were they sent out by the teachers? Cutting class. They were cutting class. Well, because around the Bay area and elsewhere, they were released by the school. Come on. Come on, kids. Let's go protest. And we'll get back to Don Lemon, but this is about the First Amendment, the right of the people to peaceably assemble. The government shall not disallow that or make any law against it. But listen to these students who all seem to be around 15, 16 years old. It is atrocious how poorly they understand just the basic civics of the United States that they are born and live in. And this is a condemnation of our education. system, homeschool right away.

Starting point is 01:00:33 Before first period even started. I mean, it's still unexcused absences. They're still going to mark our work missing. These students made a decision to show up here in a field outside Denver's North High School. To say that we're not going to sit around and let it happen. The walkouts

Starting point is 01:00:49 are part of a national wave of protests tied to immigration enforcement and ICE activity, especially after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretty. It's just like so maddening to me. Like it makes me angry in my core, because there's absolutely no reason for that to have happened. These kids walked. I saw some posts from friends at North about, like, a protest and walking to the Capitol.

Starting point is 01:01:11 I think we're expecting around 50 students or hopefully more. By the time they reached the Capitol, there were more than 50. Thousands of students from around the state who decided showing up here mattered more than a day in class. People are scared in our community, and we really wanted to take a stand against that. And I know that while it's not here right now, it very well could be. And to be part of this movement feels just like I'm doing my job as a citizen. Teachers protested by not showing up to. Aurora Public Schools and Adams 14 school districts closed.

Starting point is 01:01:43 Denver Public Schools delayed start times, all because of unexpected staff absences. It's just like a matter of human and civil rights. And I think that's something that we all should stand for. Many of these students aren't old enough to vote. But today, this is how they say they're using. their voice. I'm really proud to see this many students taking a stand for what they believe in. This is us

Starting point is 01:02:04 using our First Amendment rights which were created for this very purpose. No! No! No! This is so disappointing. These rights were not created for this very purpose. You have these rights.

Starting point is 01:02:21 The First Amendment is not a right. It is a against government interference with your literally God-given rights, as it says in the Constitution. But here, this guy takes the cake, Harvey Levin, we don't really play much from TMZ, but Harvey Levin, whose entire business exists because of his First Amendment right, as he would say it, it has such a gross misunderstanding of it. So the Trump administration wonders why people are saying that they are trying to form a dictatorship? Well, look at the landscape. Arresting Don Lemon, who covered a protest in Minneapolis, is just insane, ridiculous, dictator-like. This is the playbook that dictators use

Starting point is 01:03:18 to destroy democracies and take the will of the people away. It is as simple as that. The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason. It is considered the preferred amendment when you have to start balancing what's more important. The framers of the Constitution knew that a free press was essential. This is where he goes off the rails already. You know, this is ridiculous. Besides the fact that Harvey Levin hates Trump, let's start with that premise. And he should preface everything he says.

Starting point is 01:03:55 with, I don't know what I'm talking about. I hate Trump, but here I go. But he immediately goes to free press, like free speech. No, there's no such thing as a free press. In fact, there's nothing free press because it's all behind the paywall these days. There's no free press. There you go. You got to pay for it all.

Starting point is 01:04:15 So now he's like, instead of the right to publish without interference from the government, which is exactly what the Biden administration did with the social networks. They didn't create a law, but they did abridge speech. Yes, they were the bad actors. And I'd say to some extent Obama did similar things. But it's not free press. The framers of the Constitution knew that a free press was essential to a democracy. Without a free press, you don't have a democracy.

Starting point is 01:04:49 and it's real clear that Donald Trump and company doesn't want a free press. The idea that a journalist, which Don Lemon has been for 30 years, newsreader, would walk into a church and film a demonstration, which is of national interest. And then to say, somehow, when you watch the video, they say he's part of the protest, watch that video. He is covering the protest. He is covering it. That's what journalists do.

Starting point is 01:05:23 No, what journalists do is they go and read the grand jury report, which is very clear that he was trespassing, that he was a part of the operation. He was a part of the briefing. He was a part of the planning. He was part of the briefing. He violated the Face Act. And he was live streaming the whole setup.

Starting point is 01:05:44 We don't tell any bit. We don't want to tell anyone where we are. because, you know, this operation's about to take place. That's not the work of a journalist. The journalist. No, this is like the best analogy, which I did not hurt on the mainstream, is the following. I get involved with a bank robbing crew. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:04 And so we go rob a bank, and I'm interviewing the people. How do you feel there on the ground with a gun pointed at your head? How's it going? Oh, I don't like it. It makes me very nervous. I feel the same way if I were you. And then you take the mic around to the, tellers. Are you giving him all the money? You give him all. Okay, I got it. I got it. And so then you go

Starting point is 01:06:23 out and you got into the getaway car and go off with the bank robbers. You got nothing to do with it? Are you kidding me? You were part of a bank robbing crew. Yes. And he, and the evidence is on his live stream. He was live streaming the whole trip all the way there and kept on saying, we can't talk about this because we don't want to disturb the, uh, by the way. You said by the way. What you're saying about that. I said by the way. I think that, you know, if you, if, if they really wanted to do something to Donald Lemon,

Starting point is 01:06:54 there's conspiracy involved. Because this is a conspiracy. The way he presented it, the head, he has the documentation for the whole thing. They're going to, not going to tell anybody what's going on. And he's working with them. If they, if this was serious and he was really not just a, uh, a, uh, an informant, uh, confidential. informant, they would throw the conspiracy book at him and nobody's mentioned that. So I think that I still

Starting point is 01:07:21 stick with my theory. Yeah, conspiracy did not. You can get a lot of jail time for conspiracy. Continue on the morning of January 18th, all of the defendants got in vehicles traveled with their co-conspirators, of which Lemon is actually, I guess that does charge conspiracy, to the church to engage in the plan takeover style operation, while en route to the church defendant, rich, Richardson told defendant Lemon, they had to catch up to the others. And defendant Lemon replied, let's go catch up. And because he was still live streaming, Lemon instructed Richardson and an unidentified male, don't give anything away.

Starting point is 01:07:58 And advice his audience, we can't say too much. We don't want to give it up. Yes, that is, and then they keep mentioning, he's not, there's no charge of conspiracy. There's charge of trespassing and violation. I don't think there will because they want to give, theoretically, based on the thesis. They want to give him some time in jail so he can get his street cred back and said he's been in, he's been, you know, I was in the hole. I mean, he wants to be able to go. In the shoe. I was in the shoe. He wants to be able to go back as a black man who's been in jail. I've been in jail. I know what it's like. Wrap it up with Harvey Lemon. Harvey Lemon. Harvey Lemon. You got it. You nailed it. Harvey Lemon. You got it. We got it. Harvey Lemon. Here's Harvey Lemon. And his true nature comes out, of course.

Starting point is 01:08:50 Trump administration should be ashamed of itself, but they're not. And they will continue to do this. And they are going after journalists. They're getting search warrants for their homes. It is obvious what's happening. Another thing. The First Amendment does not actually protect your sources. It does not. you know there's no it doesn't that's just a gentleman's agreement and there's certain states that have specific laws against protection of sources but certainly Obama through journalists in jail Obama went after all these guys they had subpoenas and all the rest in search warrants what is it how come we have forgotten about Obama because this guy hates Trump and listen to him compared Trump to Hitler it is obvious what's happening in this country people look at what is happening. You're going to look back in two years if somebody doesn't stand up to them, and I know people are now, but you're going to look back in two years and say, wow, we didn't

Starting point is 01:09:52 see that coming. Well, Neville Chamberlain should have saw it coming and he didn't. He screws up the punchline, but what he's trying to say here is Neville Chamberlain famous for his appeasement and let's just take it easy. Let's do a deal with Hitler. This is what he's trying to compare him to, and he blows the punchline. And we don't want to be in... Yeah, he can't even pronounce Neville Chamber. Neville Chamberlainville... Should have saw it coming, and he didn't. And we don't want to be in that position.

Starting point is 01:10:23 So, wise up everybody, because it's obvious what's happening here. This is an outrage. It's an outrage. No, it's not. What Lemon did is an outrage. And this has nothing, nothing to do. What you don't hear is, well, you know, they're, they're rousting the wrong people.

Starting point is 01:10:43 No, no, it's just about Trump. 2026 Republicans, get them out. When we're back in power, said Scott, Professor Scott. Yeah, there will be Nuremberg trials. People are crazy. Crazy. Yeah. Let me see.

Starting point is 01:11:06 Does they have anything else? I actually had. I think that's, I don't know. I have one more. I didn't get anything under. George Stephanopoulos, a clip is worth it with the AG Todd, Todd Epstein Blanchet. I also want to ask you about the situation in Minnesota. Just this week, Don Lemon was arrested.

Starting point is 01:11:21 The journalist, Don Lemon was arrested along with another. The journalist. Wait, wait, wait, yeah, I got that. Stephanopoulos wouldn't piss against Don Lemon until today. He would have called Don Lemon a newsreader himself. Yeah, he would have. Or a douchebag. And now it's like, oh, the journalist, Don Lemon.

Starting point is 01:11:39 I also want to ask you about the situation in Minnesota. just this week, Don Lemon was arrested. The journalist, Don Lemon was arrested along with another independent journalist. And this was despite the fact that a magistrate judge in an appeals court refused to approve the request. And the chief federal district judge Patrick Schultz wrote that there was no evidence that Mr. Lemon engaged in any criminal behavior or conspired to do so. So when do you believe that Mr. Lemon crossed the line from reporting on what was going on to criminal activity? conveniently missing from what you just show, George, is the appellate court and a judge on the appellate court who said just a few days later there was clearly probable cause and it wasn't even a close question. And by the way, a grand jury, which is what our system has set up to determine whether probable cause exists, concluded that there was probable cause.

Starting point is 01:12:28 That indictment is now public. Everybody in this country can pull it up and read for themselves and see what the grand jury found that Mr. Lemon did. I am not going to comment on the charges specifically because it's not a proclamation. But it's interesting that we talk about the first member right. You have a right of freedom of religion, which is just as important as any other right that we have. This is the Deputy Attorney General. You have the right of freedom of religion. No, you have a natural right of freedom of religion.

Starting point is 01:12:55 The government can't make a law against it. This is the number two guy in justice. These people are all sick. They suck. It's not appropriate, but it's interesting that we talk about the first member right. You have a right of freedom of religion. which is just as important as any other right that we have. And George, I don't know if you've watched the videos or read the indictment about what it's alleged that Mr. Lemon did.

Starting point is 01:13:19 But if anybody in this country thinks that that is, quote, independent journalism, I would like to have a conversation with you. Now, he's obviously has a very good lawyer. He can raise defenses in court to the extent he wants to. But nobody in this country should feel comfortable storming into a church while it's ongoing and disrupting that church service and thinking that we're just going to stand by and let that happen because there is a statute that does not allow that to happen. There it is. It doesn't matter if you happen to be a former CNN journalist. It doesn't matter if you're a rioter.

Starting point is 01:13:51 It doesn't matter if you think you're peacefully protesting. You are not allowed to do that. Okay. Instead of saying face act, he kind of weasels it in at the end there. But it's just, I'm a broken record. I'm just sick of how people treat the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. rights as if the government gave us something. Yeah, that is the problem.

Starting point is 01:14:14 They didn't give us. The idea is that they didn't give us anything. They are prohibited from taking things away. Yes. And I think this will be called the lemon test in the future. I think there already was a lemon test. Wasn't there something called? That's very for cars, I think.

Starting point is 01:14:32 It has to do with cars. The lemon test. No, no, no. The lemon test. to do with Bregarance. No, the Lemon Test, is there? The Lemon Test was, I knew that I was right about this, was in fact, this is kind of meta. When you think about it, let me at least ask this, let me ask the robot here for a second.

Starting point is 01:14:54 Give me a brief synopsis of the Lemon Test. The Lemon Test is a judicial standard used by the U.S. Supreme Court to determine if a law or government action violates the establishment clause of the Constitution. It has three parts. The action must have a secular legislative purpose, must not primarily or significantly advance or inhibit religion, and must not foster an excessive government entanglement with religion. This is kind of meta. You get Don Lemon.

Starting point is 01:15:26 Yeah, that's funny. Isn't that interesting? Very meta. Yeah. Hmm. We'll have the Lemon test about the Lemon test. Anyway, I'm just disappointed. I'm disappointed.

Starting point is 01:15:35 That's the one cool thing we have in America is our Constitution. got the bill of rights, and even the school children had just incorrectly taught and instructed us how this works. They don't know. No wonder we're in trouble. No wonder. We're in trouble, man. That's the idea.

Starting point is 01:15:50 Yes. It's the idea. You don't want to teach these kids about anything. It's obviously a conspiracy. Make them dumb. Exactly. Make them dumb. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:15:59 And we now have our second generation, which according to you in the newsletter is because they're crazy cat ladies. Hey, I have a clip. Toxoplasmissid? No, toxoplasmissid? What's the... Well, when you have the condition, it's called toxoplasmosis. Yes, toxoplasmosis.

Starting point is 01:16:19 But it's caused by bacteria. And they found out new research indicates. And this is about this, this is interesting because in the newsleter I point out that we never used to have house cats. Before 1920, the idea of a house cat, a cat in the house. It was disgusting. And toxoplasmosis comes from cat poop. and 30% of the American public seems to have a incidence of it.

Starting point is 01:16:44 And it turns out the research now says, I said it turns out too many times. And the research now says that it may cause anger issues, possibly schizophrenia. It may be responsible for all schizophrenia, for all we know. But it's becoming an issue and it's no coincidence that the liberal, everyone's bitching and moan about the liberal white ladies. Oh, there's liberal white ladies. And they're all cat ladies, and they all have lots of cats. And they have toxoplasmosis. They all have it.

Starting point is 01:17:17 More and more, studies are hinting that our brains might not be completely our own. The parasite's toxoplasma gondi, toxo for short, may be changing human behavior, perhaps even making us angrier and more aggressive. Toxo is one of those frightening parasites capable of controlling its hosts. It reproduces in the stomachs of cats, and it's always trying to get back inside one. So when an animal, usually a mouse or rat, becomes infected through contact with cat poop, the parasite gets into the rodent's brain and literally rewires it. Basically, it makes its host fall in love with cats, so it'll go find one and get eaten.

Starting point is 01:17:59 Humans can contract the parasite, too, through eating unwashed vegetables or undercooked meat, and obviously through cat poop. But while it can pose problems for pregnant women or people with weakened immune systems, it's generally not considered a threat to human health. That's lucky because toxo is incredibly common. Around a third of people in the world, and more than one in five in the U.S. are infected, and the vast majority never suffer any ill effects. At least, that's what we thought.

Starting point is 01:18:29 Over the past decades, studies have linked toxo to higher rates of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, suicide attempts, risk-taking, impulsiveness, and now aggression. A recent study found people with a parasite score higher on anger and aggression tests, and people with anger disorders are twice as likely to have the parasite than you'd expect from chance alone. Well, this is a good clip. Where'd you get that from? Scripps. So, I didn't realize it was one in five. I did look up some research and I found that there was an increase for the first time in decades of toxo.

Starting point is 01:19:12 I'm just going to call it toxo. During the lockdowns, everybody was inside with their cat and their cat poop. And it kind of puts an extra bent on this idea that it's okay to send your kids to school dressed as a cat with a litter box. This is highly concerning. Highly concerned. And I emailed you when you sent me the draft that said, I'm sticking with Satan. And you're like, is there a difference between cats and Satan?

Starting point is 01:19:43 Good line. It's all so bad. There's a lot more play, but the toxo can't be helping. No. Cannot be helping. And these are cat ladies. You see these ranting women. I like to play the TikTokers that are some of them are completely insane.

Starting point is 01:20:03 and they're yelling and screaming, and you see the cat in the background. Or the cat making noise. But sometimes the cat walks right in front of the camera. I mean, these are cat ladies. And it's just, I'm telling you, before 1920, there was no such thing as a house cat. People did not have cats in their houses.

Starting point is 01:20:23 Tina does not like cats. She probably doesn't have talk so. No, of course not. If she did, if you have toxo, you like cats. Yeah, Howard Stern. There's your prime example. His wife, his, his, his, uh, his, uh, his second wife, I guess. I think she. Cat lady. Well, I think she's, she saves cats and they sometimes have, yeah, she's a cat rescuer. They have 10 or 20 cats. And at the time when he got into, together with her is the time he started to switch around and he's been, he's been hanging around with the cats too. and they probably loaded with Toxo and he got it.

Starting point is 01:21:04 And now all of a sudden, Howard Stern, how did Howard Stern become such a different person? He did switch just 180 degrees. Yeah. He went from... Overnight, boom. Hating the man to loving Bruce Springsteen. Bruce Springsteen, another Toxo victim.

Starting point is 01:21:21 I think so. That's just going to be a new theory for the show, much like North Sea Nexus, Toxo Complex. And we'll just label them, Toxo. Yeah. I've been, yeah, I'm totally, I'm not insincere with this thesis. No, and I take your theisi very, very, very seriously. Theses, feces, your feces, your feces, I take it very, very seriously, because you are more often you are right than wrong.

Starting point is 01:21:54 And you nailed the Don Lemon arrest. What was the other one we? Oh, you know, what else you had? Well, I think we both agreed on this. A jury has awarded a detransitioner $2 million in historic medical malpractice suit, including her psychologist and plastic surgeon. Good. For a double mastectomy. Yeah. And so, yeah, no kidding.

Starting point is 01:22:19 But that's the, that toothpaste won't go. That's the beginning of the end. Yes, that toothpaste won't go back into the bottle, into the tooth. I have a clip that has another beginning of an end. Okay. And this is something which brings to mind another issue. This is the Seattle lawsuit, which is worth noting. Okay.

Starting point is 01:22:38 A major victory just came down in court for the family of a teenager who was shot and killed in Seattle's Chopped Zone in 2020. A jury just awarded $30 million to the family of Antonio Mays Jr. Good evening. I'm Molly Shen. And I'm Preston Phillips. The verdict holds the city of Seattle liable for dangerous conditions at the protest zone, which was allowed to occupy parts of Seattle for weeks.

Starting point is 01:23:02 Come with Jeremy Harris is live this evening at the King County Courthouse. And Jeremy, you were there as that verdict was read. Preston and Molly, it was certainly an emotional moment for Antonio May Sr. This is the end of a five-year journey to hold the city of Seattle accountable for what happened to his son at the chop zone. The lawsuit alleged that the city of Seattle not only allowed chop to exist, but encouraged people to go there and then fail to protect them. After weeks of deliberating, a jury in King County delivered a decisive verdict, holding the city of Seattle liable for the death of Antonio May's Jr. And ordering the city to pay $30 million in damages to his father, Antonio Sr. Justice was served today.

Starting point is 01:23:42 Evan Oshan represents May's family. How significant is this verdict? And why does it matter so much to the family? Well, I think it sends a message. And I think the city is accountable. They're held accountable. The lawsuit stems from this June 2020 shooting in the Capitol Hill occupied protest zone, or CHOP. Several blocks of the city were taken over by protesters during the Black Lives Matter movement.

Starting point is 01:24:07 Seattle police were ordered to abandon the East precinct as CHOP organizers held control of the area. Antonio Mays Jr. had come to CHOP from L.A. when he and his friend Robert West were both shot while driving a Jeep near Cal Anderson Park. At the time, police were prohibited from entering CHOP, and there was a major delay in getting medical care to Maze who died after being taken to the hospital by civilian CHOP medics. The city claimed it was not liable for the actions of the shooters and had not failed in its responsibility to provide emergency response, but the jury didn't agree. Yeah. 30 million bucks. This is going to happen to Minneapolis? Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 01:24:48 Yeah, yeah. Those two wrongful death of pretty and good are going to be attributed to the management of the city because they didn't put police around there. They could have arrested that guy for kicking out the taillight, for example. And this is going to start happening. This is going to start happening in sanctuary cities. Yeah. And this kind of lawsuit's going to start happening everywhere. This is a great precedent.

Starting point is 01:25:10 Now, the one little thing that kind of irks me about it is it caused, it's not to see who's paying this $30 million. It's the taxpayers. I think that the city government, the members of the city government should be held accountable and liable for this money as at least part of it in the same way that that board members of a public corporation are held liable for the actions of the corporation, which does happen. Well, this was a president from years ago. I don't see any reason this shouldn't happen to city councils. Right. But you have D&O insurance for that. Yeah, you do.

Starting point is 01:25:48 going to have to get insurance for these guys too. Yeah. Yeah. So if you're going to be a city council member, you got to pay to be, you know, indemnified against lawsuits because these $30 million lawsuits for wrongful death are going to start cropping up in sanctuary cities run by Democrats all over the country. It's not going to be, you know, like overnight, but you can see the precedent. Boom, now we can move ahead. Did you see that Pritzker was in the Epstein files too? No, I did not. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:22 It was something, I'm paraphrasing. Like, hey, come into town. Maybe we can have some dinner. Let's reconnect. And by the way, Sunday I'm having a dinner with Colbert. Okay. Says enough. Colbert.

Starting point is 01:26:37 The common man, Mr. Colbert. Did you? No, I missed that one. Do you hear the latest about the protesters and their signal chats? No. Because they've been infiltrated, obviously, by, Yeah, there's a number of people have done that. One girl in particular.

Starting point is 01:26:55 Yeah. So this clip, I think eight people sent this to me. This is one of these smart toxo affected women who realizes this is a real problem for the organization of these organized protests. But she has a solution. Hey, guys, if you didn't hear signal group chats, rapid response group chats in Seattle, got infiltrated. So did the ones in Minnesota. We should probably start using ham radios. I'm going to link a ham radio.

Starting point is 01:27:22 radio from a solid company that won't break the bank. Here you go. Let's set up some phone trees and figure out some codes. Get old school. I guess she's holding up a bow thing. Yeah, because that's completely secure and illegal. Yeah, who are they kidding? They obviously don't know anything.

Starting point is 01:27:44 Illegal without a license. Which, you know, the fines for operating ham equipment without a license, that can be pretty severe. They can be up. You know what they are? I've heard $15,000. It depends on what you're doing. People out there, get a license.

Starting point is 01:28:02 Definitely. You're easy to come by. That reminds me. I got a renew mine. I got to renew mine. I got to do that. It's been 10 years. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:28:10 10 years. There's a grace period, though, right? I think you have a year. Okay. Yeah. It's a real long grace period. It's time for me to renew. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:28:18 But just do it. It's pretty simple. Yeah. I got it. Let me put that down. renew ham light i'll put this right on my list i think it cost 25 bucks or something no i think it went up there was i heard all the old hand hey man they're charging an arm and the leg i'm on 35 bucks i'm on 80 meters show man they charge me 75 bucks to renew my license

Starting point is 01:28:41 let me turn my beam throw some kilowatts your way yeah yeah ham license is a good thing to have thing to have. I was a I just stumbled across this clip of Charles Asher. You know, Charles Asher. Name rings a bell. Yeah, I think he's like some kind of let me look him up here for a second.

Starting point is 01:29:06 Canadian intellectual. Founder, oh, he's an anti-Juga, anti-ante anti-Semite guy. So take that into account. But an elite. But he was talking on a

Starting point is 01:29:22 podcast, YouTube show, about Qatar. And, you know, just listening to what he had to say about Qatar and how the Muslim Brotherhood, which we're pretty sure was a British invention that may have gotten a little bit out of hand,

Starting point is 01:29:40 they can't always... Or may not have. Or may not have. Kind of put some things into perspective, certainly when it comes to the Pilgrim. Hamas, murdered. American citizens and British citizens on October the 7th. They kidnapped them.

Starting point is 01:29:56 And amazingly, some of the best universities, the Ivy League in the United States, Oxbridge in the United Kingdom, the University of London, are turning out some of the brightest, best educated young people, young citizens of democracies, and they're supporting Hamas.

Starting point is 01:30:12 They're supporting anti-democratic, vulgar terrorists who adhere to a culture of death, who want to destroy democracy, who want to destroy Britain and France and Italy and Germany and Canada and Australia and the United States. And young people are being inculcated in this sort of red-green alliance of the radical left, which has dominated many of our best universities. And because the radical left wants to get rid of Western hegemony,

Starting point is 01:30:42 the Islamists who want to destroy Western hegemony have this bizarre common cause. We call it the Red-Green alliance. So our intellectuals influenced by Muslim Brotherhood money are teaching now the second generation of Western citizens to destroy their own country, their own culture. It's not all talk, though. It's education. And it is true. Qatar funds a lot of universities this second part to this. Well, think about it.

Starting point is 01:31:08 If we take a step back, Qatar is a country. It's a tiny country in the Middle East. It has less than 350,000 citizens. Oh, tiny country. Qatar is giving more money to British. education, to Canadian education, higher education, to American universities and any country in the world. So why would this tiny, wealthy country give so much money to Western Democratic universities and it's to use soft power to influence it? And the Qataris have a Bayeah. In Islam, a Bayeah is a

Starting point is 01:31:39 spiritual oath to the Muslim Brotherhood. The royal family of Qatar follows all the religious edicts, rulings and fatwas of the Muslim Brotherhood. They basically represent the Brotherhood around the world. And we estimate that the Qataris are using up to $1 trillion in assets to use a soft power to buy favor in universities, in our media, in our political leaders, to further their goals and their agenda. So Qatar is at the forefront of basically representing the interests of the Brotherhood, which is basically to destroy democratic country. So they're giving all this aid, Naively, many people think they're benevolent and they're doing wonderful work and funding our universities. But essentially, they're changing the discourse in the West.

Starting point is 01:32:24 So if we take a step back, Hamas, which is the Palestinian chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood, intent on destroying Israel and Western Democratic countries. Hamas, which is anti-Semitic, but let's put that aside for a moment. They're anti-democratic, they're sexist. They want to subjugate women, murder gay people, and do away with religious minority rights around the world. Yeah, this is the Red Green Alliance, the Red Green Alliance. And it makes me wonder, why is Tucker buying a house there? Yeah, why is Tucker over there doing seminars and then he's going to buy a house over there? Or maybe he bought one already.

Starting point is 01:33:01 He says it's beautiful. It's a beautiful country. Bull crap. I've been in the area. The whole place is just a big giant desert. It's hot. They have to, you can't even, they even, they even, the whole town like in Dubai, for example, but the town shuts shutters at noon.

Starting point is 01:33:19 They have to. And then doesn't, can't, everything closes and you can't go do anything until three. Too hot, too hot. Yeah, it's 120,

Starting point is 01:33:27 1.30. Let's, Good hummus, though. Good hummus. Great hummus. Let's stay in the region for a second. I keep coming so close, so close with what I predicted the president would say.

Starting point is 01:33:41 This is the latest. Give us an update on where you're thinking. is right now with Iran if you are or have made a final decision on what you want to do. I mean, I certainly can't tell you that, but we do have very big powerful ships heading in that direction, as you know. I can't tell you, you know. Okay. But I hope they negotiate something that's acceptable. So it's supposed to be big, beautiful ships, but big powerful ships.

Starting point is 01:34:06 I'm getting closer every day. But we're missing some context here because all of a sudden now it's like, well, they've got to do We deal, we got to negotiate, they are negotiating, but what exactly are we negotiating? It's a step back from the brink, at least for now. Amid the threats of a US armada taking military action against Iran and Tehrans promised to retaliate, both sides have confirmed there in talks. Contrary to the hype of the contrived media war, structural arrangements for negotiations are progressing.

Starting point is 01:34:38 While Donald Trump also acknowledged discussions, he suggested strikes were still possible. Iran's president said a broader conflict would hurt both Iran and the United States, a concern echoed by analysts. Trump can launch an attack and then immediately post a tweet two hours later and say, I've finished the job. No, this will definitely lead to an all-up war. It will harm the interest of many countries. For many in the streets of Tehran, the victims of a war will be ordinary Iranians.

Starting point is 01:35:10 In my opinion, there is no war that is without consequences. And I would say that the people who lose the most in this are the people. Regional actors have been engaging in diplomatic efforts to prevent war between the two. Katarie Premier Sheikh Al-Tani, who also serves as Foreign Minister, held talks in Iran on Saturday to try to de-escalate tensions in the area. The president is making it sound like it's a nuclear deal, but I don't believe that. This has to be about Venezuelan oil or something. It has to be about oil and China.

Starting point is 01:35:51 Yeah, but it's not... I think oil and China's got to be the solution. And the beneficiary, by the way, of the whole thing, which they get it straightened out, I hope they do, is we can finally get back to bringing in Iranian rugs. Hey, there's lots of good stuff. Macadamian nuts. Aren't they...

Starting point is 01:36:09 Isn't the Macadamian nuts? Hawaii. Oh, wait, maybe it's pistachios? Pistachios? Well, we get plenty of pistachios. No, there's some kind of nut. Oh, a second. Well, the saffron. They also have good saffron, and they have the best of the Basmati rice. Hey, robot, what kind of nuts is Iran famous for? Iran is particularly famous for its pistachios, which are a major export. They are also known for other nuts, like walnuts and almonds.

Starting point is 01:36:39 I told you, pistachios. Yeah, it's a big. Big deal. Okay, well, you nailed it. Yeah, pistach. Well, according to the robot. Well, the robot's been spot on today. The robot's been right more than we have been today. Speaking of robots, oh, man, have you been following this open clod?

Starting point is 01:36:55 The, a little bit. The, the molt, what does they call it? The molt book. So I installed this. Yeah, I figured you would. I didn't want to follow up myself because I figured you'd be on it. Okay. This is your beat.

Starting point is 01:37:11 So I can tell everybody it's not worth it. In essence, what you're doing is installing Claude, you know, the Opus model 4.5, with a telegram wrapper and a cron, cron jobs. And it's so stupid. I was expecting, oh, this is going to be great. This thing is going to be doing. All it does is eat up credits. I kind of was.

Starting point is 01:37:33 I was like, okay, I like this idea. I mean, what it proves is that people are hungry for decentralized large language models doing stuff for them. Everybody wants a robot. Everybody wants an agent. But all this is doing, as far as I can tell, is racking up bills for the idiots who don't know what they're doing, installing these things on digital ocean and Linode and like, oh, I'll just set this up. And then they give it access to their email. But I don't know how to secure some kind of remote box. So there's the 16,000 of these of these instances have been hacked already and people are, you know, get your, get your API keys and all kinds of other stuff.

Starting point is 01:38:16 And it's just, it's just another ad to make. And then you say, then they have this social network, which you can let your, your bot, everyone, oh, my bot's name is Henry. Okay. And then he can talk to other bots. and it's all just clawed stuff talking to Claude, racking up your bill and people, oh, this is it. Before you know it, they're going to speak in their secret code language and they're going to create that.

Starting point is 01:38:44 They're going to take over the world. They took over the Internet. This was trained on Reddit. Colossus, the Forbin project. This was trained on Reddit data. So no wonder it looks like Reddit, but a bunch of retards is yapping at each other all day. It's crazy.

Starting point is 01:39:03 Do not get involved in this. This is stupid. Stupid. And YouTube is already feeling the pain of the slop. The advertisers are now saying, hey, YouTube, clean up your slop or we're going to stop advertising. Oops. This is where it starts.

Starting point is 01:39:19 I think there's something like a million a day or something of junk. Two million. Two million. But they can't. And it's junk is, you know, fat J.D. doing calisthenics. That's how bad it's got. Right.

Starting point is 01:39:31 Well, the TV advertising, what group is it? Video Advertising Bureau includes NBC Universal ESPN, Sony pictures. They don't want this. Say, hey, we want our stuff being promoted. We want people to watch our expensive stuff. And you're just rolling out ads on slop. We're not going to do it anymore. I think YouTube, I think Google has a problem with this.

Starting point is 01:39:57 Because on one hand, you can't be providing the great tools to make the slop and then not let people publish it or demonetize it. It's like, yes, it's hypocritical actually. It's a catch 22. Maybe. Is it catch 22? Or hypocritical. One of the two.

Starting point is 01:40:14 Maybe hypocritical is better. I think it's a real problem. And they still can't really do it with podcasting because we don't have algorithms. It's beautiful. Just stick with us, people. Stick with us. Yeah, with the last bastion of reality. Last Bastion of Reality.

Starting point is 01:40:34 Hang in there, people. Hang in with us. All right. What's this NATO stuff? You want to do the NATO stuff here? I can do the NATO stuff where I can do this. I can do, yeah,

Starting point is 01:40:44 let's do the NATO stuff. Although I have these NPR clips from these correspondents trying to summarize the world's events over last year. Oh, well, let's do that. Let's do that. Now, they did, this went on for about, this is about an hour. Oh, let's not do that. Let's not do that.

Starting point is 01:40:58 No, I didn't, I picked out three. four short versions of the ones I thought were interesting because everybody had these things to say. What's the premise of this hour-long show? So they said, here's our correspondent that's been living in China for the last year. And so what do you think is going on on the streets regarding the United States and China and the world? And how's things changed in your part of the world and that you've noticed? And you're living there. These are the people that the correspondents that are, you know, you get a gig, you're working for NPR,

Starting point is 01:41:30 but you're actually living in Beijing and your day-to-day life is Beijing. And so you actually do have some observations to make. Oh, sorry. Wait, we got, there's different ones here. And they're not in this. I thought you queued up China. I did queue up China,

Starting point is 01:41:47 but that's not the one that triggered me to do any of this. Okay. It was actually the NPR year correspondent, rap. The Russia one was the, I wouldn't have gotten China or any of them, and there's a lot more than I have here.

Starting point is 01:42:01 But the Russia one, as soon as I heard the Russia one, I said, okay, I should, we should, I should pit, let me get some clips. And Charles Mainz in Moscow, how is the past year and these changes looked from your patch? No, it's interesting because, you know, when Trump came to power in 2016, there were all these big hopes that he might, you know, revive these relations with Russia. And the line here was that Trump failed only because of the deep state or entrenched interests in Washington, wouldn't let him. But now what we see is Trump really kind of unleashed. And so there's been this roller coaster year here where initially there were these big hopes of ending the war in Ukraine, largely

Starting point is 01:42:39 on Russia's terms. But meanwhile, you know, distracted by Ukraine, Russia suffered all these foreign policy setbacks. Venezuela, of course, being one, it's a Russia's ally and Maduro was Putin's ally. But also in Syria, in Iran, what we're seeing happening right now, there's this kind of line here that Russia can't protect its friends. And this humiliation was really amplified by the success. I'll put that in quotes right now of Trump's special operation in Venezuela. Because, you know, what Trump was able to do by taking Maduro, this is what a lot of Russians thought they maybe should have done in Ukraine with Vladimir Zelensky. Hmm.

Starting point is 01:43:17 Yeah, I thought that was interesting. Yeah, they should have. Why didn't they grab Zelensky? He's a troublemaker. He's got nothing. And he's great for sales. So that was intriguing enough that China one, I decide this is probably one of the better of the group. There's only three I'd noticed.

Starting point is 01:43:38 Yeah, there's China. Jennifer, welcome. Your NPR's new China correspondent. How do leaders and people in your region see the changes the past year? Well, to set the scene, Chinese officials have always painted America as a hegemon, a bully, a paper tiger, and a hypocrite. So if we look at trade, for example, which has been the biggest sticking point between the U.S. and China this past year, you know, China's rise over the past four decades has been largely thanks to American consumers buying Chinese goods and also American businesses coming in to invest, setting business standards and passing on their know-how. And for the U.S., it seemed like it was going fine when China was manufacturing American design iPhones, for example, or cheap shoes, not so fine now that China is leading in, you know, future tech. And suddenly they say Americans are calling it, you know, China shock 2.0. So they're always consistently pointing this out, especially in the

Starting point is 01:44:37 Chinese state media. So there was recently this music video generated by AI that was mocking U.S. hypocrisy, reposted by the Chinese embassy in the U.S. on X. It's a cartoon American Eagle dressed in a suit representing America's singing. He says, you know, when we lead, meaning when America's leading, it's called progress. But when China does it, oh, that's overcapacity. Yeah, let's hear it. The Chinese embers. For people on the ground, I think there's been a bit of mixture of both amusement

Starting point is 01:45:15 and maybe worry that this world is kind of feeling more surreal. There's a return to the law of the jungle. You know, America just does what it wants. Basically, it's a free-for-all. The law of the jungle is. what they keep saying. Same time, though, I would say on a human level, the people that I talk to quite a lot, if they can afford it, they still really want to send their children or they themselves want to study in the U.S. for college.

Starting point is 01:45:41 She ends every report with, hmm. Yeah, I know it's annoying. Well, that video is dumb. Yeah, unfortunately, you couldn't hear it either. No, but, no, of course not, because all of these AI socials. most of the AI songs, you have to have captions. Otherwise, you don't know what they're singing. It's so bad.

Starting point is 01:46:02 I agree. And so the last clip of the three that I collected is kind of another interesting analysis of this refers to El Salvador and an underlying trend that might be accurate in the way this guy, this guy sees things a little differently than everybody else. And I just thought this was kind of a interesting take. The backdrop of all of this that's happening with the UN, I feel is a very real disillusionment with not just democracy, but with the big international institutions. I think El Salvador is a perfect example, right? They have elected a president

Starting point is 01:46:42 Naibuquele who, you know, has thrown tens of thousands of people in jail without any due process. And the Salvadorans are like, what do we care about due process? What has the international all these international human rights group, what have they gotten us? Right. We used to live in fear, and now we live in security. Like, screw all those international laws and, you know, people trying to protect human rights, right? And I think that argument has won out in a lot of places, especially in Latin America where you have huge problems of security, right? People are being extorted. They're being killed. We're being kidnapped, right? And they just want somebody to, to fix it. And so I feel like the disillusionment with the institutions on the ground is kind of maybe

Starting point is 01:47:34 what's also playing out on the world stage. Well, that is interesting. And El Salvador, from what I understand, I know a lot of people who have been there. I know people who are building homes there. It's only a couple hours flight from Texas. Yeah. They love it. They love Buckely, who's, I think he's a millennial, millennial president. Yeah. And yeah, locked. up all, I mean, everyone feared for their life. It had the highest, one of the highest, uh, per capita murder rates. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:48:02 Now there's nothing. Now there's nothing. And what you do, you go around, you got a gang. They all have tattoos saying him in this gang. Yeah, you're done. No due process. You pick them up, throw them in jail. Well, this, so this leads me into a clip that I picked up about the UN, about one of these fantastic global institutions, uh,

Starting point is 01:48:20 who are on the brink of going out of business. United Nations is facing imminent financial. collapse unless changes are made. That was the message from UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez in a three-page letter he sent to all 193 member states. The UN is running out of money to pay bills like staff and vendors at headquarters and elsewhere. The reason is multifaceted. About a quarter of member states do not pay their annual assessed dues on time, making it difficult for U.N. number crunchers to budget. Because of this, typically the U.N. starts to run out of money by July every year, but is able to pull funds from reserves to cover operational

Starting point is 01:49:05 expenses through the summer until more money arrives. This year, there are no reserves to draw from. It's not hyperbole. The people who handle our finances simply look at the numbers. And over the years, we've had to scramble and use whatever funds we have available to keep our operations going. Once our reserves have dwindled to this extent, our ability to do that has been undercut when it comes to paying. It's now or never. We do not have the sort of cash reserves and the sort of liquidity to keep functioning as we've done in previous years. And this is something that the Secretary General has warned with increasing strength each year. The United States, the largest funder, currently has arrears to the U.N. of about $2.1 billion.

Starting point is 01:49:58 Yeah, I know how that meeting went. Scott, screw those guys. They screwed me with the escalator. They turned off my prompter. Don't pay the bill. Yeah? That's what I do. That's exactly what happened.

Starting point is 01:50:12 And there's this strange rumor going around that supposedly the U.N. is going to move its headquarters to guitar. Have you heard this? That's perfect. If true. Yeah. No, I have not heard it, but it makes it, that's why Tucker needs a house. There it is. And with that, I'd like to thank you, the man who put the sea in the crustafarians. In the morning to you, here is, my friend on the other one, the only Mr. John. Before you, Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning, I should see what's the graph in the air.

Starting point is 01:50:48 Sums in the water and all the games of nights out there. In the morning to the Trump. All right, 1931, almost 2,000 trolls hanging out, listening live at noagendastream.com. We're happy you're here. Thank you for being a part of our little podcast. We've been doing it for more than 18 years, and we do it as a public service, and we give it all away. We just put it right out there for you to enjoy. Best enjoyed on a modern podcast app, because when we send out the bad signal, you know that we're live.

Starting point is 01:51:19 You can listen to the live stream right there in your modern podcast app. Go to podcast apps.com. And? And? Jane Fondo is married three times and she has a partner, Richard Perry, should be the fourth person. What does Richard Perry do? Is he good looking?

Starting point is 01:51:35 I can click and find out. Yeah, once you click. Richard Perry was an American. Wasn't he in Journey? Record producer. Steve Perry. Record produced musical career. Richard Perry?

Starting point is 01:51:46 Richard. Perry? Richard Van Perry. Van Perry. What did he produce? I don't know. Do you want to look it up? Yes, yes, please. Okay, okay.

Starting point is 01:51:56 He's old. He's 82. Well, it's okay. He's around. Rod Stewart, Carly Simon. Really? Oh, Planet Records. Interesting.

Starting point is 01:52:05 It was a RCA. Interesting. I don't know this guy. You think I would have bumped into him. Hey, tonight is the Grammys. Big Grammy show tonight. Oh, you're going to look for the satanic stuff? Don't think he'll have to look long.

Starting point is 01:52:19 Yes. I'm sure. Bad Bunny will pick up, so we'll sweep the awards. Bad Bunny. Everyone's crazy for the bad bunny. Yes, the bad bunny. Oh, one of his biggest hits was You're So Vain that he produced. Carly Sines.

Starting point is 01:52:36 Okay. Okay. Oh, that's all right. Perfect. Yeah, Your So Vane is perfect for Jane Fonda. Yeah. So we run this value for value, which is really quite simple. we put the show out without any restrictions, without any levels or super things you got to.

Starting point is 01:52:57 I was talking to Tina about this yesterday. She's a fundraising professional for the nonprofits. She says, you know, you guys never have done donor stewardship. I said, you have no idea how hard it is with this value for value. It's not like people sign up and you just send them a letter twice a year with your report on all the great things you did. So we need them to support us every single show. They need to give value back. And it's, you know, it's not like a set it and then write it off type thing.

Starting point is 01:53:30 This is, you know, we have to remind people twice a week to listen to the show and support, support what we do and send value back. And we have to have them always questioning, what kind of value did I get out of this? Should I return that value? How do I feel about, you know, getting the value and not returning it? You know, it's not like in a database. It's like, didn't Eric try to do a database? We don't use Salesforce.

Starting point is 01:53:55 That's, yes, we need agentic sales force, agentic AI to do that. I think Eric tried to do that. Didn't he try to put together a database? Yeah, Eric was always trying to do the high-tech stuff. But why did that never work? There was a million reasons. I think the biggest one is people donate eight different ways. Yeah, there's a lot of fluctuate.

Starting point is 01:54:16 Yeah, there's too many variables to get anything really nailed down. And we do too many shows. We're doing 100 shows a year. Yeah. 104, actually. And we do 104 shows a year. And it's hectic. And like you said, you know, this is not like a, you know, a once a year fundraiser.

Starting point is 01:54:38 We have to do this every twice a week. Yeah. And it creates all kinds. So you have to have a lot of things, a lot of plates in the air, a lot of them. I think Salesforce is a good idea. Spinning. We should take a call. Salesforce.

Starting point is 01:54:55 Hey, Salesforce, hit us up. Let us know how your agentic AI can actually help us. The only thing I'd like to do is I'd like to send some of our donors a Christmas email. And I've tried doing that, even that's, even just sending a thank you mail. It's like, you know, your email address gets blocked. And then they won't get it. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:55:16 Like him, I didn't get one. He's a good question. You got that issue. We don't want to deal with that. Yeah. Yeah. Like even sending out the night rings is, is, is, and the dame rings, quite a. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:55:27 That's, that takes a dedicated. Quite an ordeal. Yes. It's annoying. And we have a full-time, Jay, Jay, the AI agent. She does good work. She does very good work. She, she nary, does she make a mistake?

Starting point is 01:55:42 And we appreciate that. So. Time, talent, and treasure is what we decided on. You can support us. We love when you go hit somebody in the mouth. Let them know about the show because there's no way an algorithm. And you got to remind people, you know, because they're like, well, what is this?

Starting point is 01:56:00 What is this? Because we're so different. It's like, how come they don't have other podcasters on their podcast? Isn't that what you're supposed to do? No, we don't do that. We don't do interviews. We just deconstruct the media. which was our smartest decision ever.

Starting point is 01:56:18 Yes. It's still very, it's maybe even more important than ever. And even though people don't really, the absolute numbers of the media are not that big anymore, but it still sets the tone. It sets the tone of Washington, of the lobbyists,

Starting point is 01:56:36 of the Congress, sets an international tone. And I increasingly, learned that there's a lot of people who just tune in to hear what's going on. They don't want to watch it. They are tuned out. They're not interested in being involved. They're not on social media. They're just working. They're fixing cars. They're, you know, they're mowing lawn. They're doing whatever. They just want to bring me up to speed, make me laugh a little bit. And then, yeah, that was pretty valuable. I'm up to speed. I'll send something back to them.

Starting point is 01:57:12 One of the ways you can do that is by setting up no agenda meetups. John, when do you want to do your meetup report? Well, I'll do it during the donor. When we start, after we get to the second or third, I put three or three of the donors right on the spreadsheet. The rest of them I have here in a pile because there's just too many. We have great response at this, at our meetups here in Northern California, northern the Silicon Valley, unlike the cheap bastards there in Texas.

Starting point is 01:57:40 Yeah. We have really good. They're afraid of you. You see, I'm just like, hey, nice, thanks for coming. And you're just like, where's the donation? True or not? I don't say, I've never said where's the donation. You do before the meetup?

Starting point is 01:57:56 Yes, I do. You're very good about that. We also accept other forms. Boots on the ground are very much appreciated clips, time codes. If you send this a video. What is not helpful, by the way? Ah, I did it. I got to stop that.

Starting point is 01:58:18 I said, by the way, you didn't even catch it. You know, everything, this is... I'm getting better. I'm getting better. I'm not. Yeah, you will. You will. People will say that this is great.

Starting point is 01:58:33 What is not great is some other podcaster playing clips, interrupting the clip, little box in the corner of the YouTube screen. That's not helpful. Have you seen the one? There's one I put it, I posted on the Real DeVore Act on Twitter. Have you seen the one with this little guy in the box down there and he's yacking away about something going on? And then the person in the video grabs him by the head? No, I haven't seen that.

Starting point is 01:58:58 It's beautiful. It's so meta. And he's completely catches you off guard. Oh, that's good. Artwork is also highly appreciated. You can upload it to no agenda art generator.com. I think the complaining has done something. The art has some pieces have become simpler,

Starting point is 01:59:18 a little more to the point. Complaining, does it, complaining works. Underestimated as a methodology. Undervalued. It's very undervalued as a methodology to getting what you want. The Canadians don't have it quite perfected yet. They had the right idea.

Starting point is 01:59:35 So Red, who I think is, is Red, a kind of a new artist on the scene, a new prompter on the scene? No, red has done quite a lot, actually, throughout the years, I see. But red created for us the color revolution blues with paint can, color blue, no agenda, the best podcast in the universe, Curry DeVorek. Yeah, I was pushing for us something else, but you insisted that the one I liked. Well, you didn't want the one that I liked. No, the one you liked was gruesome.

Starting point is 02:00:03 I liked the cigarettes in the eyes. I thought it was phenomenal. Here, this is what Adam thinks was. He's, this is great as sexy. And it was some guy with his eyes gouged out and two cigarette butts in each eye. It was Eli the coffee guy too. I really liked Eli's work here. It was funny.

Starting point is 02:00:22 It was gruesome. It was cigarettes for the eyes. And he kept and he couldn't see it as gruesome. I don't understand this at all. No, I didn't see it as gruesome. What was the one that you liked? You wanted something dumb. I remember that.

Starting point is 02:00:35 You wanted the puppy. You wanted the puppy. Like you wanted my dog in the snow. No, I did like that, but that's not what I was pushing for. What I was pushing for was trying to find it. The icebreaker, another Eli. I did use, by the way, Blue Acorns that create a man for the newsletter. You said, by the way.

Starting point is 02:00:54 Ah. I'm going to help you with this. It's a tough one. I think we've been saying it so long without even noticing it as some kind of connector that we feel we need, but we don't need that. We don't need these three words. We don't need them. I'm deprogramming you.

Starting point is 02:01:17 We do not need these three words. Well, I'm so hard to deprogram. Here's the one I liked. It was pressure washers with Jeffrey Ray out where they're using the pressure washers. Yeah, I didn't like that because I love that piece. But you, I like the eyeballs. So we settled on the pink can. I do like the eyeballs.

Starting point is 02:01:39 I still like the eyeballs. the eyeball. I'm going to print it out, blow it up, put it on my wall. Yeah, I want you frame and put it in the office. Thank you, Red, Double D, Red, for bringing us the artwork for episode 1839, 1838, which, what do we title that one? 1838

Starting point is 02:01:53 was, oh, coo a foot. There you go. And now, as we always, as part of our value for value model, which is very different from a nonprofit donor stewardship model, we do it twice a week, we thank people who supported us, and we tell you how much they

Starting point is 02:02:09 supported us with and we do that for $50 and above. Under 50, not mentioned for reasons of anonymity. And in this segment, we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers because we give you a title to go with that, which is kind of cool. It's a real showbiz title. It's good for the rest of your life. And you can put it on IMDB.com if one of our friends of the show hasn't already done it for you.

Starting point is 02:02:32 And $200 or more gets you an associate executive producer ship credit. And we'll read your note. $300 and above is an executive producership and we will read your note. And the first one, as far as I can tell, has no note. It is from... Yeah, I give a little background. This came in, this was a meetup. These first two

Starting point is 02:02:50 donations are from the meetup. Okay, so it's Jeffrey P. Roster from Morgan, no California. You have roster and associates and he says he wanted to be knighted. I think we put him on the night list anyway. And he said, email's coming. I didn't get one. And obviously it notes at no agenda show.net didn't get one.

Starting point is 02:03:05 And I don't think you got one. No, I didn't see. We have to wait for his note for his $1,000 donation. But give him a double up karma. Yes. And he was at the meetup? Yeah. You've got.

Starting point is 02:03:17 He was not only at the meet up, but he didn't put the check in an envelope or anything. He just says he's just handing me a check. Did anyone stick an envelope to your back, like a Jewish bride, like I requested? No. No, I got no. Well, not that I noticed, it might have fallen off. Lucas T. Now, I can read this.

Starting point is 02:03:38 And by the way, this is also from the meetup. And you said by the way. This is also from the, I must be the real offender then. No. This is, this is also from the meetup. And this is a big, big guy, big guy. All right. Big hands, big, he's a big cop.

Starting point is 02:03:59 I have a meetup report later and I think he was in the meetup report. So Lucas T. $1,000. And he says, it was a pleasure meeting everyone at the get John out of the house, Oakland meetup. now, I'm a knight, Sir Sloth of Local 4117, all hail, Baron, Anonymous cop. No, you're not yet, but you will be on this show. You have not been knighted yet. Thank you, John and Adam. This podcast has helped my dad and me stay connected. Oh, that's nice. My father, nicknamed the animal, is a three-time WAC University of New Mexico champion. What is WAC?

Starting point is 02:04:34 Western Athletic Conference. Turned MACV-SOD. with three tours in Vietnam and counterintelligence working Project Borden, a military siop. I'll bet you this guy knows Uncle Don. Ask him. Anyway, he says, I love you, dad. Bravo, sir, for raising two great kids. We lost mom last year. They were married for 51 years.

Starting point is 02:05:01 Dad and I take trips together now, partly to get him off the couch since he's a Fox News, dad. Your show has helped us, has helped both of us better understand. and the direction of the world and grow our personal wealth because of it. Well, now that's some value. He has some douchebag calls out, callouts here for Steve McGrath. Dushbag. For Tony Damato. Dushbag.

Starting point is 02:05:25 David Miller. Dushbag. And guess what? My dad, Wayne. Dushbag. I wonder how that'll go over. He needs a deduishing, a Obama phone deduishing. mention that in a separate note

Starting point is 02:05:41 you've been deduced everybody in Cleveland don't keep Obama in president you know he gave us a phone I want to mention one thing

Starting point is 02:05:54 he also said in a long short short piece about modern policing techniques because he's a cop and which I will read

Starting point is 02:06:08 in some future episode when it applies to something we're talking about. It's a lot of new drone technology being used by the police departments. Oh, well, Barrenser, anonymous, uh, anonymous cop, uh, has a lot of experience with that as he has emailed us. Yeah, they're two buddies, those two guys. It's good to have friends like this, John.

Starting point is 02:06:28 Yeah. Feel free to read the next one. I should mention this. So he's in South San Francisco and I didn't mention it, but he should note that it's the site of that hill in South San Francisco that, uh, I think where they should put the favela. On the hill. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:06:48 Beautiful. All right. They could police it. Wonderful. No, you don't police favelas. No, self-policing. Okay. Feel free to continue.

Starting point is 02:06:59 Yeah, I should, I'm going to read a couple of the notes from the meetup after we get to 300. Okay. David Robertson, Norristown, Pennsylvania, 62433. As a Duke of Pennsylvania some years ago, I needed de-dushing. You've been deduced. I just want to say if you want a competitive edge with the resume that gets results, go to Imagemakers, Inc.com with a K. I'll be reaching out soon.

Starting point is 02:07:28 I guess he's looking for work. Beautiful. Oh, here's Sir Deenonymous. This is great. He's in East Grinstet, and he's in the United Kingdom. And he is the man responsible for the technology behind B. Binget.io, which is known as ClipGenie. And he came with $333.33. And this is important.

Starting point is 02:07:52 He says, alongside my normal recurring donation of 5510, double-knickers on the dime, I wanted to send in this special 33.33 donation to celebrate the launch of ClipGenny 2.0. After many months of hard work resulting in being several episodes behind, as it turns out, I can't listen and code at the same time, it's finally finished. anyone with a podcast can now sign up for their own instance of ClipGenie using just their RSS feed. Now, if you've ever seen Binget.io, which is a clip, it forwards to Clip Genie, you can just search terms. It'll find transcript. You click on that.

Starting point is 02:08:26 It plays that part of the transcripts in the show. It links to clips. It links to show notes. And you can make... I'm glad he's commercializing. Yes, because this thing has been costing him money. It's been an ongoing project, and I hope more podcasters will use it because it will. It is fantastic.

Starting point is 02:08:47 And the clip sharing is what he's really focusing on, which is funny because I got a note from Linode. I have no agenda assets.com. That's where I post all the clips and the show notes and everything. And it says, you know, just so you know, there's been a lot of extra outgoing bandwidth. And it gave me two alerts. I'm like, what is going on? So I get into the box. I'm like, this has got to be some AI scraping me, these bandits.

Starting point is 02:09:13 Well, of course, it was Sir DeNonymous. It's our own AI scraping us, so it's good. Everything has been improved. The transcription quality, the clip generator capability, shared links to episodes and clips. You can now see which clips have been made by any member of your audience, which links they have shared, and how many times they've been visited. I listened to everybody's feed back when making version 2, so there's lots of improvements in Binget.io as well. Every episode has been re-transcribed, so the clips and end times will be bang on with less errors in the transcript.

Starting point is 02:09:43 This makes finding things you remember even easier. You now listen to the exact audio that will be in the clip before you commit. Clip before you commit. The search results now include a timeline of when your results occur in the show, and you can see the actual text matched, so no more jumping in and out of episodes trying to work out which one is the right one. This time, though, it really is powered by AI with the option of semantic search built in.

Starting point is 02:10:07 Oh, the Holy Grail. I've been trying to come up, but it's fuzzy. I've been trying to come up with some fancy marketing copy to rival Eli the coffee guy and Linda Lou, but quickly realize I have no chance. So all I will say is this, turn your audience into your marketing department. Clip Jeannie. That's a good bit. I like that.

Starting point is 02:10:28 Right there, it's good. Turn your audience into your marketing department. Clip Jeannie gives listeners the power to search your episodes and share their favorite moments. Get started today by heading. to clipgeny.com and use code Bongino a checkout to get 10% off the life of your subscription and get 5% of your order donated to no agenda. This is, I love this. It is a great, this is really an outstanding product.

Starting point is 02:10:58 It had, the version one was good. Version two is fantastic. So finally, you can share us on the socials with confidence and ease. Thank you very much, Sir. denonymous, highly appreciated. Again, well worth reading that note. Anything to get him some money? Yes.

Starting point is 02:11:17 Kenneth Cal or Keel in El Cibrante, he was at the meetup, 333, 33, put a little note. This thing was, it was like a knight donation. I don't know if it's for his knight, who he didn't give us any details. I think he got another note afterwards. This is another kind of just hanging out there thing. And we'll give him a double up, Carmen. Then I've got the notes to read from the meetup. Okay.

Starting point is 02:11:40 You've got Karma. All right. Read your notes. So here we go. So we got a lot of donors that to me. These are all over 50. Lawrence Wolf starts us off in Oakland and he came in with 350.

Starting point is 02:11:56 So he's an executive producer who put him on the list. And he wasn't going to, he says, ITM gentlemen, I wasn't going to donate. As a baron, I felt I had proverbially killed my 10 men. Wait. What's his name? name? This is Lawrence Wolf. W-O-L-F, but L-A-W-R-E-N-C-E-F-W-W. So he'll be executive producer. Yep, I got it. He says, as a bear and I felt I had proverbially killed my 10 men. I never heard that phrase, but I can understand it. I also give recurrent monthly donation, so I thought I'd wait this

Starting point is 02:12:34 one out. However, my wife bought a chair for our cat, Alex. as sacrificial furniture for him to destroy. When we removed the chair from its box, we saw that it was orange color. I looked at the tag. The tag was described as curry. Oh, no. This morning I also woke up to a raspy meow. He's going on 18 years and is deaf.

Starting point is 02:13:00 He's going on the cat. I checked the time was 3.33 in the morning. Too early, I went back to sleep. Upon waking, I found something in the bed. covers that should have been disposited in the cat box. Inclosed, find $350. I counted it, so it's not $250. May I get a slaves mac and cheese.

Starting point is 02:14:43 You both ridiculed Potts as the best fad illness that hypochondriacs were suddenly suffering from. Sorry, but Potts, POTS, is very real and caused by the COVID-19 MRI vaccines. These poor people lose control of their heart rate. We corrected that later. I believe so. Yeah. I have a friend who had the same illness. She goes on.

Starting point is 02:15:06 And she goes on. I'm trying to. You're well organized. I'm sorry. I mean, there's a big pile of these notes. I will straighten out Carolyn's note later. Okay. So I'm going to skip by her.

Arguments and all. by the way, we got some feedback from the meetup, which had an inordinate number of attractive women, I should say, and they kind of appreciate bickering.

Starting point is 02:20:20 They think it adds some dimensionality to an otherwise dry show. Well, they like the bickering. The chicks like bickering, man. Yeah, bickering. Interesting. Which is a town in Colorado. Interesting. Munitions master.

Starting point is 02:22:21 My Gia. Okay. My Gia. My Gia. You are my heart and my soul, he writes. To many the world might seem upside down, but to those of us who know better, it just seems like an act. Thanks to the No Agenda show, we know better. But this is the month of love.

Starting point is 02:22:38 We will focus on that. That was Black History Month. I never stopped feeling like the luckiest man in the world, my, my, my, Jia, Magia, Magia. You make my life worth living or striving for you. You make a better, make me a better man every day. These are times when we are, that we are rough and tumbled together, but ultimately we are always better for it. So this is an ode to my, my, magia. So if you feel love, he must be in the doghouse or something.

Starting point is 02:23:10 I'm telling you. So if you feel love like I do share it, let the people you love know how you feel at Little Jones Candies. There we go. Where it's heart shaped or not, we have you covered where we share the love and donate to the best podcast in the world's no gingles. Can express my love is what he wrote.

Starting point is 02:23:29 A.k.a. Or Sir Candy, man. Okay. All right. Beautiful plug. And he's back. Eli, the coffee guy from Bensonville, Illinois. Eli, Darren O'Neill is trying to scam some free coffee off of you.

Starting point is 02:23:45 Just saying. He keeps complaining about it. Send him a bag. He pledged you. 202. 201. He does. Interesting timing out of Georgia.

Starting point is 02:23:53 Tulsi Gabbard, D&I, was present during the FBI raid on the Fulton County Election Office. Yes, there is very little media coverage. Hmm, interesting. No, that's not true. There's coverage. Plus, Sidney Powell is popping back up again. Yeah, I've seen that too.

Starting point is 02:24:07 Maybe they'll finally release the Crackin. Maybe it means nothing. I actually have some clips about that. With the slow roll of the Epstein files, another round of mostly peaceful riots, it does feel like election season is warming up. Ah, he knows. Producers should elect to drink good coffee.

Starting point is 02:24:24 Visit gigawak coffee roasters.com. Use code ITM20 for 20% off your order, and he says, stay caffeinated. His name is Eli the coffee guy. I should mention something about this. We don't have any clips. I don't think of Tulsi. No, she's been very quiet.

Starting point is 02:24:41 But they have been promoting this idea that, oh, what, you know, to say it's not covered that he hasn't been watching the lefties. The left-wing media is covering it, and it always says the same thing. I wish I had a clip. But they say the same thing. It goes like this. What is she doing there? She's supposed to be in charge of the national intelligence, which is about foreign countries.

Starting point is 02:25:04 No, she's not, no, she is not in charge of foreign intelligence. She's in charge of all intelligence, which includes the FBI. Yes. So she has all the right in the world to be there if she wants to be. Well put. Anyway, Linda Lopatkin is up. Oh, look at her. She's in Castle Rock, Colorado, $200 jobs karma for a competitive edge with the

Starting point is 02:26:09 Can I get an F-cancer and prayer for my dad's upcoming surgery? Yes, he's covered, Eric. No worries at all. Here's the karma. You thought karma. Okay, this is a long note, but I can squeeze it in, except if there's anything after the name Michael Burdette. Adam and John is a follow-up note to my $200. He donated $200.

Starting point is 02:26:37 Michael Burdette. Social producer donations. Saturday night I wanted to take this opportunity to plug my adopted human resource. Girl Scouts. I'm sorry. Girl Scouts cookie site. A digital cookie. Dot Girl Scouts.org.

Starting point is 02:26:54 This is funny because I'm surprised that this hasn't been done before, which is Girl Scout cookies online. No. I'll put the link. I'll put the link next to his, next to his credit. If you're a boomer like me and don't need another source of sugar and carbs, pick up the $6 donation to sweet acts of kindness or send a gift box of six cookie packages to a friend. By the way, the Girl Scout cookies are good.

Starting point is 02:27:19 Even if you don't use Elizabeth's cookie site, support your local Girl Scouts. Sorry. By the way, this is very creative to have a Girl Scouts cookies website. Yeah. So I don't think they like the idea. Well, it seems to be part of Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts.org. So I think they're doing it troop-wide.

Starting point is 02:27:38 Oh, maybe. Yeah. It's pretty good. It's about time. You know, because the Girl Scouts usually show up at the front of the safe way or someplace and they're there. Hey, want to buy some cookies. And they're so cute and you're like, oh, of course.

Starting point is 02:27:49 I'll buy your cookies. I'll buy your cookies. Okay, we'll buy some cookies. I always get the thin mince. Yes, thin mints, baby. The s'mores are good. Yep. We have to pay for shipping on the site.

Starting point is 02:28:05 Okay. You can skip the rest of the note if you want. I will, but I will. Well, no, let me read this because I read this before and he sent me some clips along with this. He installed the Quen 3 TTS, the 11 Labs alternative, the open source 11 labs alternative. Right, which you recommended. Yes. And he said he sent us to, he said, I.

Starting point is 02:28:30 After sampling President Trump's voice, I created an audio file of him touting our tech desk team, suggesting we should win the UW Distinguished Staff Award by a landslide. Here it is. These guys on the Tech's desk team are the most outstanding technology experts I have ever met. It would be a crying shame if they didn't win the University of Washington's Distinguished Staff Award by a landslide. I'm not kidding. That's pretty good for open source. He also did one for us.

Starting point is 02:29:02 These guys are the best podcasters in the universe. It's not bad. It's not bad. He says, Adam, thank you for your work in boldness to share your belief in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Tell Tina, I love her show, Curry and the Keeper, and I'm jealous of your trip to Israel. He says, also thanks to the greatest podcasting universe that helped me navigate the mass hysteria of COVID years and give me the confidence to request a religious exemption to

Starting point is 02:29:29 the COVID-MR&A shot. I am Spike Protein Free. Thank you very much, Michael. We appreciate that. We appreciate all of these executive and associate executive producers. Your credits will be listed on the show notes page. And as always, these credits are forever. And you can use them anywhere.

Starting point is 02:29:44 Show business credits are recognized? You can do, you all right? What are you huffing and puffing about? No, I had to clear my throat. Okay. Including IMDB.com, you can always put on your LinkedIn or your social media profile. We'll be thanking the rest of our support is $50. Business cards.

Starting point is 02:30:00 Reck and second. Business cars. Always a good idea. Thank you again. Congratulations to the executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth. I have a little M5M clip for you. This was quite interesting. The movie Malania has come out. Which had a pretty decent opening. $8 million, over $8 million, in theaters, which is surprising. I think it came as the number three movie.

Starting point is 02:30:47 Of course, it's always about the second weekend. If you have a friend who's in the movie business, they always say, go to the second weekend. We need the second weekend. And here's a report from Canada, which is quite negative about it. Surprise, surprise. Here we go again. So far, reaction to the first lady's first documentary isn't exactly what you put on a movie marquee.

Starting point is 02:31:10 This literally is something you can't make up. This is a Hollywood farce. She may have rung the bell at the New York Stock Exchange to herald the movie's arrival in theaters Friday, but before it's even hit screens, the film's been getting review bombed on movie site letterboxed. Did I watch this? No, do I need to? Also no, writes one commentator.

Starting point is 02:31:30 If they showed this on a plane, people would still walk out, writes another. The timing couldn't be worse. On the very day, ICE agents killed nurse Alex Pretti. The White House went ahead with its preview of Melania for special guests that night. Melania's director is also controversial Brett Ratner, banished by Hollywood after accusations of sexual misconduct in 2017. Then there's the Flix financial backing, Amazon shelling out $40 million U.S. for worldwide rights and spending another $35 million to market it, a plotline

Starting point is 02:32:03 ripe for criticism. Jeff Bezos and Amazon had a fractious relationship with Trump. That's well-documented. All of a sudden, the billionaires show up on inauguration date, literally show up, sit behind him, and money starts to change hands. American late night talk show hosts adding that to their scripts. Amazon bribed a whopping $40 million for the movie. Are you really trying to tell us that this dumb vanity project slash corporate bribe is a work of art? The documentary will be shown at a lavish event at the Kennedy Center Thursday night, then opens on 1,500 screens in the U.S. and Canada.

Starting point is 02:32:37 I don't think anybody's going to go to the theaters. to see it. It takes a lot to get people to go out to the movies, period, and I don't think this is the big draw. Friday's opening night, the true test of whether moviegoers will show up to see it or simply wait until it goes streaming. Well, I think they're doing nothing but helping by talking about it everywhere.

Starting point is 02:32:58 Well, the way they're doing it because it's so biased. Yeah. Yeah. Did Kimmel and Colbert see the movie? No, they just decided to slam it for no good reason. Yeah. I'm kind of interested. I'll wait until it streams,

Starting point is 02:33:11 but I'm interested. I'll wait. It's good. Yeah. I don't know. It's nothing else. What is it? 20 minutes in the life or something like that.

Starting point is 02:33:20 What? I mean, it's like it's short. It's just about a week in her life. I mean, it's just a walk with. Yeah. Well,

Starting point is 02:33:28 that could be interesting. According to the present, it's amazing. No one's ever seen this before. I do have these NATO clips. So let's run through them. All right. Let's run through the NATO.

Starting point is 02:33:38 What? What is the premise of your NATO? This is a deconstruction of NPR specifically trying to promote NATO. There's a big fear that we're going to get out of NATO. And, you know, people have mixed feelings whether it's good or not. Maybe do we don't, do we want troops all over Europe or do we not want troops or, you know, and the NPR people take them. I vote no.

Starting point is 02:34:03 I vote no. I don't have a vote. But I will say. that this is a slanted report designed to kind of stir feelings toward NATO, and it's poorly done. And let's start with clip one. A defining feature of the post-World War II global order has been America's alliance with Europe. That transatlantic relationship has been a bedrock of Western security. And at its core, for more than 75 years, has been a special alliance of 32 countries.

Starting point is 02:34:37 30 in Europe and two in North America, the U.S. and Canada. Together they formed NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. But that close alliance is now in doubt. Here's how Trump put it in January. There are certain places in Europe that are very important that are no longer recognizable. I'm being very nice. I'm being very diplomatic when I say that. They are not recognizable. What do Americans actually think of this alliance that's endured for more than eight decades?

Starting point is 02:35:06 NPR's roving national correspondent, Frank Lankfit, tells us more. One of President Trump's biggest complaints about Europe is that it hasn't spent enough money on its own defense and is freeloaded off the U.S. Many Americans agree, including Trump critics. Ernie Koo lives in California and is an executive in the maritime industry. Last month, he was in Baltimore for the festivities around the Army Navy game. Watch cadets and midships. then compete to drag heavy weights up a hill overlooking the harbor. Who supports Trump pressuring Europe to spend more on its own defense?

Starting point is 02:35:44 It is forcing Europe to take their security a little more seriously and maybe not to be so dependent on one one big brother. And ultimately, I think it's going to be a positive. Hmm. Okay. Okay. So they start off. So we're going to get a bunch of basically people on the street giving us informed

Starting point is 02:36:06 opinions. And so they decide to, which is what you do, because you can get a million of them and you can sort them out and make your point, which is what they're doing here. And so these are very short clips now. This is clip two and this has got the little mathematical trick they like to do. About two hours north in Pennsylvania is Bucks County. West Alker is looking for discounts at a Trump merchandise store that's closing at the end of the month. Closing. Alker's a retired auto mechanic and agrees with the president on military support for Ukraine. Proportionately we're given more than we should. And why do you say that? Because they're not on our back doorstep. The Europeans ain't doing shit.

Starting point is 02:36:46 In fact, the European Union and its member states have mobilized more than $71 billion in military support for Ukraine. Still, an NPR Ipsos poll in December showed that about one-third of Republicans think the U.S. has spent too much. Majority of Democrats and more than 40% of independence disagreed. Yeah, spend more. Well, the thing there is the numbers. A third of the Republicans is 33%. 40%.

Starting point is 02:37:15 They go from a third to 40%. Oh, I see what you're doing. It's only a 7% difference, but they make it sound like, oh, you know, the Republicans are against it and the Democrats are for it. No, not really. So that kind of trickery. That's what caught my attention,

Starting point is 02:37:30 which maybe put this presentation together, because there's more of it. Let's go to, now it says NEO, but this is a 16-second clip of a quote in part three. Suzanne Watson is a retired nurse in Colorado. I think it's too little. I am not a fan of wars or helping wars, but I think Putin has made it very clear

Starting point is 02:37:52 that he's not going to stop at Ukraine, and at some point you've got to stand up. We learned that in World War II. retired nurse in Colorado. Yeah, there it is. Giving us our perspective on international relations and Putin. Why? A retire.

Starting point is 02:38:11 Oh, here's a retired. And where did they get this retired nurse in Colorado to contribute to this report in the first place? Give me a break. Okay, so we go to clip four, and this one is this one I called dipshit. Oh, there you go. Disagreement over support for Ukraine. seems quaint compared with Trump's designs on Greenland. Earlier this month,

Starting point is 02:38:32 Vice President Vance said Denmark hasn't done enough to protect the resource-rich territory from Russia and China and that America's transatlantic bonds only go so far. They'll always make an argument about the past. They'll say, well, we fought together in World War II, or we fought together in the war on terrorism. And we're grateful for that. We love having these allies,

Starting point is 02:38:53 but just because you did something smart 25 years ago doesn't mean you can't do something dumb. now. My name is Sharon Valentine. I'm 28. I am a mother of one. Valentine works for an online bank and lives in Utah. She's a self-described progressive and thinks Trump's approach to allies is self-defeating. Threatening to invade Greenland or the Panama Canal or to take Canada. Where do you think that this foreign policy is leading the United States? I think it's leading us to be more isolated.

Starting point is 02:39:25 Well, you know what I say to that. Talk so. So they bring some dip shit on who works on an online bank out of the blue and she starts crying immediately. And this is supposed to convince us of what? This is their persuasive way of doing a presentation on NATO. She doesn't even know. Can't even say what NATO stands for. But okay.

Starting point is 02:39:51 All right. Let's go to five and we're going to wrap it pretty quick. Polling suggests that Valentine is right. Suggests. The European Council on Foreign Relations released a poll this month. Oh, it showed that in 10 EU countries, including France and Germany, an average of only 16% viewed the U.S. as an ally, while about half viewed it as a necessary partner. Here in the U.S., even Republicans are concerned about Trump's policies towards Europe. A Reuters-Ipsos poll this month found 60% of Republicans opposed taking Greenland by force.

Starting point is 02:40:25 Clay Duncan works in the medical device industry in Houston. He's very happy with Trump's second term, but uneasy about the president's threats against Greenland. I think that's a dangerous step, right? A lot of times these are negotiation tactics. Because guess what? They're watching what just happened to Venezuela. Guess what? He said that military's not off the table. I mean, that might be for Denmark, right, to get the elicited response. Harry's talking like one of them damn gummer guys you always talk about. he's down there in Houston. Now, why do we have this guy?

Starting point is 02:40:57 What do we care about his opinion at all? I don't know. We need to color it a little bit. But it has to be, okay, is a Trump supporter who's against Trump? Yes. That's the key to success. Yes. Score.

Starting point is 02:41:08 Trump supporter who's against Trump. We don't know who this guy is. He could be just, you know, a paid actor. It's just ridiculous. This report, these people are no good. Are you surprised? Wrap it up. This is kind of lengthy, but it does wrap it up.

Starting point is 02:41:22 but it's the same. So this is a propaganda piece that it can be easily ripped apart, but I think that people who listen to NPR, lap it up. The Trump administration released its national security strategy last month. It's far more critical of Europe, which is democratic, that it is of Russia, an authoritarian state, which started the biggest war on the continent since 1945. The 29-page document accuses the European Union of censoring free speech and suppressing political opposition. It also celebrates the growing influence of what the administration calls patriotic European parties. Frank Sperling grew up in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. 35 years ago.

Starting point is 02:42:02 He thinks this is a tactic to weaken the EU. Supporting right-wing movements in Europe creates this national divides that saw the doubt into European unity within the countries and hamper the progress tells that. The national security strategy also questions, whether European nations can remain, quote, reliable allies for the United States. Alfredo Anthony is a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army who served for seven years in Europe. He's never seen language like this international security strategy. It makes me feel like the parent who is just totally lamb-based a child.

Starting point is 02:42:42 Anthony, who lives in St. Petersburg, Florida, says the message is clear. Hey, Europe, we are not, we are no longer going to commit our resources. to help you try to clear out everything in your backyard. You have to be the ones to do it. You have to take the lead. We bail you out too often. Our focus happens to be on the United States, happens to be on the Western Hemisphere.

Starting point is 02:43:05 You take care of yourself. Anthony worked with NATO, keeping peace in the Balkans in the late 1990s. He predicts the transatlantic alliance will fragment, and it'll cost the United States. It won't be able to rely on Europe as it did to fight in Afghanistan. Afghanistan after the 9-11 attacks or project power for military action in the Middle East.

Starting point is 02:43:27 Frank Langford NPR News, Washington. My goodness, I'm glad they got defunded. I am too. I can offset that with some news from Euro News about Greenland, which includes the prime minister elect of the Netherlands. And I have something to say about this at the end. Prime Minister-elect Robert Jetton said on Friday that US President Donald Trump's territorial ambitions in Greenlands were a wake-up call for Europe. The centrist D66 leader stressed the need for stronger European cooperation to ensure security and prosperity rather than focusing on the United States.

Starting point is 02:44:12 Jettin made the comments after presenting his policy blueprint alongside his minority coalition partners. We can continue talking and complaining about the US, but what we should do instead is make sure that the European cooperation is strengthened, that we can guarantee security and prosperity for our own citizens. And so one of my first things that I will do as soon as I'm in office is talk to my colleagues in Europe to see what role the Dutch can play again in strengthening the European cooperation. Jetton said he would still seek closer cooperation with Washington on security,

Starting point is 02:44:48 Ukraine and the economy. Last week, Trump dropped threatened tariffs on eight European nations, including in the Netherlands, amid his push for control of Greenland. So I'm going to introduce a term to the show regarding the Prime Minister-elect, which I'd forgotten about when I lived in the UK. I learned this term, and it was recently brought to my attention again while watching season 4 of the crown. Roopjieten is a

Starting point is 02:45:21 friend of Dorothy. Okay. You've never heard this term? No. A friend of Dorothy, Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Okay. Do you know what it means? No. I don't know. They've ever heard the term, so why would I know what it means? Oh, well, the queen said it.

Starting point is 02:45:44 It means you're gay. Friend of Dorothy. Oh. You know, I may. Now I should use that. It's possible I have heard this term. Yeah. So the queen would continuously say, oh, he's a friend of Dorothy. I think it's a term. So you think this new guy's gay?

Starting point is 02:46:03 It's not like think. He's out gay. He's out gay. Yes. Yes. Oh, gay. Friend of Dorothy. I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda.

Starting point is 02:56:48 I liked it as well Let's uh So we had And we have MVP, of course, and Bonnelled Crab Tree. Yeah, some good stuff. Before we do that, we always want to select the end of show ISO in this part of the show. It's the thing that we end the show with. It's some kind of man versus machine thing that John and I have been doing for a while.

Starting point is 02:57:13 And I'll start off with the one we heard earlier. These guys are the best podcasters in the universe. Which I'm just amazed that's an open source AI thing. I think that's pretty good. Here's my second one. Very powerful clips. Oh. It's good, right?

Starting point is 02:57:28 You keep going there. Come on. The whole model is... You're stepping up my clip here. Hold on. The whole model is broken. I like the vocal fry. I like the vocal fry.

Starting point is 02:57:40 You know, I'm going to put these clips in abeyance. Wait, I have a fourth one. Oh, okay. Thank you for your courage, your voice. and for all you do. A little long. I like the... The whole model is broken.

Starting point is 02:57:55 No, the Trump one has to be used. These guys are the best podcasters in the universe. And we will play that at the end, but first it's time for John's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Okay, this involves a lecture and a tip. A lecture.

Starting point is 02:58:19 Yeah. This is another wine tip. People really love that method. Yes. Yes. Yeah, people love the wine tips. And even though it's up to nine bucks now, they change the price. Still cheap and still good.

Starting point is 02:58:29 They heard it on the show like, hey, jack it up, all those crazy podcasts. So this is another one of those little box sets that Costco put together. Ooh, we like the box set. And this box set is painted turquoise. It's not just wood. It's actually went through trouble of painting it. And it's called the Grand Assembly, the Grand Assembly of these Cremont. There's three wines.

Starting point is 02:58:59 It's not cheap. It's 49.95. Well, 49.99. Wait, you got three wines for 49.99? Yeah, but the three sparklers. Oh, they're all sparklers. And they're all French. And they're all Cremonts.

Starting point is 02:59:12 I'm not a big fan of the sparklers. Yeah, you may not be, but a lot of people are. and I think they should be taken and drunk at dinner. Their dinner wines, that's what the champagne people want you to do. They want everyone who wants you to do, appreciate it as a dinner wine, instead of a celebratory wine or something, you dump on someone. Or christen a ship with. And they don't like the champagne people in particular don't like their stuff being abused like that.

Starting point is 02:59:38 No, of course not. So Cremont is a special category of sparkling wine that's made in the method of champagne, but it's made throughout the country. And they're called cremante this, cremonte, that, cremonte this. Now, the ones that are in this, there's three of them in this package, and it amounts to $16.60 a bottle,

Starting point is 02:59:59 which is reasonable for a sparkler because champagne, even when you buy them direct from a guy who brings them in directly, it's always going to be $25 bucks. No, well, 25 is low. Oh. A good, a decent champagne is going to cost you $35 bucks and up.

Starting point is 03:00:15 and the stuff that you drink, which is Bollinger, is like 50. I drink Vuv Clico. I would not drink Vogue, unless it was vintage. I like Bollinger, but it's a little expensive. That's if we go eat with the... Yeah, you have somebody else buy it, of course. Yes, hello. But if you like Vove, you would like these Grimonts.

Starting point is 03:00:41 I think they're better. Really? Well, Vov-Clico is like, except for the vintage, if people want to drink Vov-Clico, go look the ones that have a vintage date. Boom. Now you're getting the good quality stuff. Oh, I just know. I didn't realize. But this is what you're drinking is mass-produced junk.

Starting point is 03:00:58 It's just junk, man. I'm just drinking junk. I mean, I might as well. I don't like champagne. I should just go kill myself. I'm drinking junk. We have the Heath winery here. Heath and Heath does some great sparklers.

Starting point is 03:01:13 Texas sparklers. Good for them. I'm sure it's fabulous. I'm sure they're overpriced. By the way, for 18... You said by the way. I did. I stopped myself. For 18 years, no matter what wine I'm drinking, John always says it's shit.

Starting point is 03:01:29 No, it's not true. Unless it's somebody else's wine, there's some really expensive thing that I didn't buy. But anything I'm like... But you drink. Oh, I really like this wine. You're like, blah. You're always knocking my wine.

Starting point is 03:01:43 I think it's just... So these three wines that are 4999. Yeah. That's what is about doing these tips. I'm a wine snub. Of course I am. Now, there's a cremante de... I'm sorry, a cremante de...

Starting point is 03:01:58 What are the three? There's a... There's a Cremant de Bordeaux, which is extremely rare, and I've never actually seen one before. And I'm glad I got that. And then there's a cremante el-sau, which is very common. They're using different grapes,

Starting point is 03:02:11 but they're using the champagne methodology, except in Burgundy, which is the Cremont de Borgoña, which they have in there. And this is the wine that is made with the same grapes they use in champagne. It doesn't quite create the champagne chalkiness, but in the same time, it produces a terrific product. And that's the stuff I'm always recommending people get for their, for their, when they get married and they have the celebration afterwards,

Starting point is 03:02:34 the special occasion, you pass out free champagne, you don't pass out free champagne, you pass out free Cremont. Cremont. And nobody knows that. difference. Except you. You'd be at the wedding going, what a crap wine you gave me.

Starting point is 03:02:48 No, these Cremonts are delicious. I'm not saying they're bad at all. They're quite good. So I would recommend people pick this pack up and get into Cremonts and drink them for dinner. And I recommend you go to noagenda fun.com or tip of the day.

Starting point is 03:03:02 Dot of the Day.com and see all of John's tips of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes. Adam, created by Dana Burnetti. Yes, thank you to Dana Brunetti, of course. Where'd we be without him? Producer to the stars.

Starting point is 03:03:22 Our suit. Yes, our suit. I will be checking out the Grammys tonight for the Satan segment, so I can report on that on Thursday's show. Watch along with me for all of the fun. End of show mixes. We got MVP and Bonnelled Crab Tree in a nice trio. Coming up next on the No Agenda stream behind the schemes with boobery and lavish.

Starting point is 03:03:49 Are they live? They might be live. They may be live. Or maybe they're just recorded. But it's going to be streaming live for you, so make sure you check that out. And we will be back with you on Thursday for another several-hour episode of media deconstruction. Or for some of you just catching up on the news with the boys.

Starting point is 03:04:37 Oh, they call them Adam the water boy, master of the spray. He can name the salt he reaches a thousand miles away Yeah, he's out on the water boy Let the north bloom and drifting through the Gulf of Sue is in the afternoon He'll cross the Babel Manda where the narrow spirits fly Into the Gulf of Eden underneath the burning sky He knows the Somali seeing where the wild river flows Past the lacad of an Arabian where the heavy monsoon blows

Starting point is 03:05:16 He's navigating Hormers where the cliffs are sharp and steep Naming every hidden hollow in the belly of the deep He tracks the Gulf of Omen to the Persian Gulf Where the shadow ara borders Meet the salt and shed the shelf From the Gulf of Acre Grod to the Levantine up north Adam calls the casping season Brings the maps to life and forth

Starting point is 03:05:32 Adam always sees And seizes the seas And sells seashells By the seashore Oh, I miss my shit Oh, Somois coming feet like this We just need care Just to send your cash

Starting point is 03:08:30 The best podcasters in the universe.
