It doesn't taste like fish.

Adam Curry, John C.
0:03
DeVora.
0:04
It's Sunday, November 24, 2024.
0:06
This is your award-winning Gimel Nation Media
0:08
Assassination episode 1715.
0:10
This is no agenda.
0:14
Ignoring netmops and broadcasting live from the heart
0:17
of the Texas hill country, right here in
0:19
FEMA Region No.
0:20
6.
0:21
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
0:23
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
0:25
hoping Elon Musk buys MSNBC.
0:29
I'm John C.
0:29
DeVorak.
0:30
It's like Bob and Buzzkill.
0:32
In the morning.
0:34
This is my favorite.
0:35
I have people trying to rationalize that to
0:37
me.
0:38
You don't know what you're talking about, Curry.
0:40
What do you not know what you're talking
0:43
about?
0:44
Elon Musk buying MSNBC.
0:46
What about it?
0:48
He's the one who hinted at it.
0:50
We discussed it on the show.
0:52
This is bullcrap.
0:54
This is not going to happen.
0:56
That's what they said about Twitter.
0:58
No, I don't think they said that.
1:00
In fact, he didn't want to do the
1:01
Twitter deal.
1:02
The courts made him.
1:04
Yeah, well, that was a little different.
1:06
But, if anything, I think he'll...
1:09
I think...
1:10
No, he's not going to do anything.
1:12
And another one is, oh yeah, Trump's going
1:15
to merge TruthSocial with Twitter.
1:17
I don't think so.
1:19
That's a good one.
1:21
I don't think so.
1:22
Now, I suspect that TruthSocial may connect to
1:28
some crypto company.
1:31
That would make sense for payments online.
1:33
Because that's where all of this is headed.
1:36
It's all headed towards...
1:37
Do your payments.
1:39
One app.
1:41
Do everything here.
1:42
Don't need anything else.
1:45
I guess.
1:46
Yeah, I know.
1:47
I know.
1:48
But, seriously, you don't think that there's any
1:52
chance that Elon Musk will buy MSNBC?
1:56
Well, he did post something yesterday.
2:00
Have you seen the post?
2:01
It's got a girl bent over for anal
2:05
sex.
2:06
Oh, I saw Rachel Maddow crying about this
2:08
image.
2:09
Yeah.
2:09
Continue.
2:10
Continue to explain.
2:11
And then where her butt is, there's a
2:13
big MSNBC logo.
2:14
Oh my God.
2:17
Elon posted this, by the way.
2:19
Of course he did.
2:20
And then he has some sort of a
2:22
saint-like character in the front saying, Lord,
2:25
Lord, keep me from...
2:27
I don't want to...
2:30
Don't let me sin, kind of a comment.
2:33
Deliver me from evil, it said.
2:37
Wow.
2:37
And it's this saint guy standing there with
2:39
the thought bubble.
2:41
Yeah, I recommend Elon go very careful with
2:43
these things.
2:44
He's unleashing powers.
2:46
He has no idea how they work.
2:49
He's asking for help.
2:51
I don't think it's that big of a
2:52
deal.
2:52
Now, there's a good point.
2:54
He's crying for help.
2:56
Crying for help.
2:57
It's a cry for help.
2:58
I think that's a good point.
2:59
That's a good point.
3:00
So maybe he doesn't...
3:01
He knows he's tempted because he's got the
3:04
money.
3:05
I think it's $333 billion, just to use
3:09
the magic number, in net worth.
3:11
And he could do it, but he knows
3:17
it's a bad idea.
3:18
Why would you do that?
3:19
I mean, why?
3:20
So he could fire everybody.
3:22
He's gone off the deep end.
3:24
Hmm.
3:26
That's pretty crazy.
3:28
Yeah, well, you know what?
3:29
It would make...
3:30
And I said, yeah, no.
3:31
I just said, hello.
3:32
Well, no, I don't know what I said.
3:35
But I think it would make our life
3:37
interesting.
3:39
Oh, it'd be terrific.
3:41
I'm all in on that.
3:42
I'm encouraging this stuff.
3:43
I have no problem with that.
3:45
You know, I've identified something that's happening, and
3:51
this is a little unexpected, but Trump derangement
3:54
syndrome is highly contagious.
3:58
How does that work?
3:59
Well, it's spreading to both sides of the
4:01
political spectrum.
4:03
But it's always been on both sides.
4:06
But it's pro-Trump people who now have
4:09
Trump derangement syndrome.
4:10
What are they?
4:12
Oh, okay.
4:13
Well, that's different.
4:14
Yes.
4:14
Well, let me...
4:15
And this kind of was...
4:17
Is it Trump derangement syndrome in a good
4:19
way?
4:20
No.
4:22
So this was triggered by an email one
4:25
of our producers sent to me.
4:27
And he says, one more payment and Christmas,
4:29
I'm going to be knight.
4:30
But it was kind of sad.
4:31
But he says...
4:36
So his wife and he have had some
4:39
issues.
4:41
And so he emails me and says, the
4:42
wife decided to announce at our first couples
4:45
therapy Zoom meeting.
4:47
By the way...
4:48
Wow.
4:49
Here we go.
4:50
Okay.
4:51
If you're in couples therapy on Zoom, yes,
4:53
there's issues.
4:54
The wife, he says, decided...
4:56
The wife.
4:57
And I'm not laughing at this because it's
4:58
really, really...
4:59
Sounds like you are.
5:00
Heartbreaking.
5:01
No.
5:02
The wife decided to announce at our first
5:04
couples therapy Zoom meeting after Trump got reelected.
5:08
Oh, he says, I'm remote because he's a
5:09
truck driver.
5:11
That she's still...
5:12
Oh, he probably listens to this show.
5:13
Oh, a lot.
5:14
A lot.
5:15
Yeah.
5:15
Truck drivers.
5:16
That's our biggest audience.
5:18
Backbone of the show and of the country.
5:20
And of the country.
5:21
Yes.
5:21
Coincidental.
5:22
He says, she still wants to work on
5:25
the relationship and will always love me.
5:28
But she's definitely filing for divorce because Trump
5:33
and Vance are going to do away with
5:36
no contest divorce and also plan to take
5:39
away women's rights to birth control.
5:41
And she doesn't want any legal connection to
5:43
any man.
5:46
What?
5:47
Where is she getting this?
5:49
From Elon's future television company, I guess.
5:54
Well, but this...
5:54
So this is the derangement syndrome.
5:56
This is not the derangement syndrome I'm talking
5:59
about, but this is TDS.
6:02
I don't know if she's liberal or not.
6:04
It's very classic, but...
6:06
See TDS, classic TDS.
6:09
It's TDS classic.
6:12
That's actually a better way of putting it.
6:14
TDS classic.
6:16
TDS classic.
6:18
And when I hear that, I'm like, wow,
6:21
she's, she's so mind controlled that she really
6:25
believes this, which is just sad and...
6:30
It's not sad, it's pathetic.
6:33
But now on the other side, the new
6:36
contagion is every single appointee that Trump makes.
6:45
Everything is filled with, oh, he's a rhino.
6:48
That person's compromised.
6:50
Israel, Zionists, Jews, no good.
6:54
It's rampant.
6:55
Oh, that's interesting.
6:58
It's TDS new.
7:00
It's new TDS versus TDS classic.
7:02
Well, I have to say that I've been
7:04
susceptible to this.
7:06
Ah, you need to be vaccinated.
7:09
We need to protect you.
7:10
With this Besant guy.
7:12
Yes, yes.
7:14
The secretary of the treasurer.
7:15
So, so he's the guy, the only, in
7:17
fact, I think I have a clip of
7:18
Jesse Waters discussing him.
7:21
I think.
7:22
Well, before, and I want you to play
7:24
the clip.
7:25
But, but this, this is sad because television
7:29
and social media networks are taking incredible advantage
7:34
of this.
7:35
And so this is reinvigorating.
7:37
So, you know, we couldn't, the libs are
7:40
all gone.
7:41
The Dems are all gone.
7:42
They're all gone to blue sky.
7:44
And now what are we going to yell
7:45
about?
7:46
We have to get Trump's doing it again.
7:48
He has no idea.
7:49
He's getting all the deep state back in.
7:51
Palantir is going to facial recognize us all.
7:54
It's going to be the end of humanity.
7:56
Well, this may be we've been looking for
7:59
the for an angle.
8:00
What's going for an angle?
8:02
What's going to be the thing?
8:04
Because it was last time was Russian collusion.
8:07
And there's always something, you know, and we
8:09
couldn't figure it out.
8:11
And maybe this is what it is.
8:12
It's some sort of enemy within approach.
8:17
Well, yeah.
8:18
And it is all over the place.
8:22
It hasn't really.
8:23
I don't watch a lot of Fox.
8:26
I find it quite boring and tedious.
8:28
I don't think it's very well structured shows.
8:31
I'm sure you do.
8:32
But I don't know.
8:32
I don't know.
8:33
I don't know if they're doing that there.
8:34
But everywhere else, I look, you know, conservative.
8:38
They are.
8:38
They are to a small to a small
8:40
extent.
8:41
It's not conservative.
8:42
Treehouse is, you know, it's kind of like
8:44
one of these blogs.
8:46
Tina reads this.
8:48
And what is it?
8:49
Conservative treehouse.
8:51
I never heard of it.
8:52
Oh, really?
8:53
I think it was never heard of it.
8:54
I think it was an outgrowth of maybe
8:55
of a Breitbart Sundance.
8:58
This guy.
8:59
Anyway, it's quite popular amongst conservatives.
9:02
But even even in more, you know, we
9:05
have friends who are more kind of in
9:07
the Manhattan Foundation or, you know, conservative conservative
9:13
groups.
9:14
They're all doing the same.
9:17
And like, oh, no, this is all wrong.
9:19
These people are not right.
9:20
There's so much spun up noise about these
9:23
appointees.
9:24
It's just it's it's concerning for the country.
9:28
And what do we have a rundown on
9:30
the specific problems with each one?
9:33
I mean, I I still think a lot
9:34
of this is is scheduled.
9:37
I have not been convinced otherwise that Matt
9:40
Gates was not set up as a straw
9:42
man.
9:42
Well, we have already said this, that either
9:45
these people are set up to detract while
9:48
the second income.
9:49
I think Pam Bondi is really what broke
9:52
broke everybody.
9:54
Why?
9:55
Oh, no.
9:56
You know, she's no good.
9:58
I'm just telling him.
10:00
Bondi's no good.
10:01
This is beyond me.
10:02
Hold on a second.
10:04
Pam.
10:04
I always thought that they wouldn't put Pam
10:06
Bondi in at first, but they could put
10:09
Matt Gates as the straw man.
10:10
And then, OK, OK, whatever.
10:12
Bring in Pam Bondi.
10:14
Same, you know, another person from Florida.
10:16
But she actually has chops.
10:18
She's been an attorney general for eight years.
10:20
She was a prosecutor.
10:21
And she's a very presentable, to say the
10:24
least.
10:24
Yeah.
10:25
But there was people.
10:27
What's wrong with her?
10:28
I'm just telling you that people bring up
10:30
these old case.
10:31
Oh, she was involved in this.
10:32
She was involved in that.
10:33
Oh, that's no good.
10:35
She was over here on this.
10:36
If you're going to do any work in
10:38
your entire life, especially for over decades, you're
10:42
going to make some decisions that are going
10:44
to piss off someone.
10:47
Right.
10:48
But this is what TDS class, new TDS
10:51
is about.
10:52
New TDS.
10:53
New TDS.
10:54
Coke.
10:54
Yeah.
10:55
New Coke.
10:55
Thank you.
10:56
We got it.
10:58
We're getting it down.
10:59
Yes.
10:59
That's what this is about is people.
11:02
Oh, it was the George Zimmerman case.
11:05
You remember Trayvon Martin?
11:06
I do remember the George Zimmerman case.
11:08
Trayvon Martin.
11:09
Yeah.
11:09
She was no good in that.
11:11
Why?
11:11
What did she do wrong?
11:12
It's irrelevant.
11:13
It's just that you have to go and
11:16
argue about it.
11:17
And then people.
11:18
Well, you got something.
11:21
You just made your point.
11:23
Yes, of course.
11:24
Let's do not argue about something that took
11:27
place 20 years ago.
11:28
But it's fueling up.
11:29
Well, it wasn't 20 years ago.
11:31
The show was around when this happened.
11:32
It's fueling up.
11:34
And close.
11:34
It's fueling up the social media networks.
11:36
And everybody has, you know, just because there's
11:38
no one left to fight with.
11:40
Everybody's on.
11:41
Everyone's gone to blue sky where they weep.
11:43
It's weeping all day on blue sky.
11:46
And so what are we going to fight
11:47
about?
11:47
Well, we have to fight about these pics.
11:48
This is no good.
11:50
It's it's incessant.
11:52
What I what I kind of this was
11:53
a kind of an interesting clip.
11:54
I liked this clip before about Trump's appointees.
12:01
I thought this was kind of funny.
12:02
A flurry of announcements from Donald Trump on
12:04
Friday.
12:05
The president elect selecting billionaire Scott Besant to
12:08
head the Treasury Department.
12:09
If confirmed, he would be the first openly
12:11
gay Treasury secretary.
12:13
Trump has also nominated Russell Vought as director
12:16
of the Office of Management and Budget.
12:18
Trump has described him as an aggressive cost
12:20
cutter and deregulator.
12:22
Vought is one of the architects of Project
12:24
2025.
12:25
Trump has called the project's proposals, which include
12:28
restrictions on abortion pills, birth control and Medicare
12:31
access, as well as eliminating federal agencies, extreme.
12:34
For Labor Secretary Trump selecting Oregon Congresswoman Lori
12:38
Chavez, the Raymer, who lost her reelection bid
12:41
earlier this month.
12:42
The president elect also naming his first black
12:44
nominee this term.
12:46
NFL veteran and conservative commentator Scott Turner to
12:49
head the Department of Housing and Urban Development
12:51
in the health care space.
12:53
Trump announcing his choice for surgeon general Dr.
12:55
Jeanette Nishiwata, calling her a fierce advocate and
12:58
strong communicator for preventative medicine and public health.
13:02
And to lead the food and drug.
13:09
Administration.
13:14
Marty McCarry, a Fox News regular who pushed
13:17
back against COVID lockdowns.
13:19
She's also tapping former Florida Congressman Dave Weldon
13:22
to lead the Centers for Disease Control and
13:24
Prevention, a powerful agency that sets vaccine standards
13:27
and responds to disease outbreaks.
13:30
Weldon, like Robert F.
13:31
Kennedy Jr., has been skeptical of vaccines.
13:33
Vaccine research and how the government tracks adverse
13:35
reactions.
13:37
All of these selections are cabinet positions and
13:39
will need to be confirmed by the Senate.
13:41
To your point, if you're around for 20
13:43
years, there's going to be stuff that people
13:45
look at and go, oh, that wasn't great.
13:47
Or you did.
13:48
Or you were on the wrong side of
13:49
that or whatever.
13:50
Yeah.
13:50
Me and the mouse.
13:52
Is that we miss the mouse in your
13:53
pocket?
13:54
Is that the one?
13:54
And what is me and the mouse?
13:56
I know what there's no evidence.
13:58
There's no the actual mouse.
14:00
Yes, there's no there's no evidence.
14:01
Yeah, precisely.
14:03
But yeah.
14:04
Yeah.
14:04
I'm a schmuck.
14:06
Yeah.
14:06
You were wrong.
14:08
Perpetually wrong.
14:09
Wrong.
14:10
You're wrong.
14:10
You're wrong.
14:12
Yes.
14:13
I've been called wrong for various things, by
14:16
the way.
14:16
And there's one thing that was extremely wrong
14:18
about and no one has ever caught it.
14:21
And I'm not going to tell you what
14:23
it is.
14:23
But anyway, continue.
14:24
I'm sorry.
14:25
What?
14:26
You can't let that dangle out there like
14:28
that.
14:29
I mean, how I sure can.
14:31
I could kill over dead tomorrow and we
14:33
never know.
14:35
Yeah.
14:36
I'll reveal it'll be during the season of
14:38
reveal.
14:39
I'll bring it out.
14:44
People also say you were wrong on the
14:45
iPad, but I've never I've never really followed
14:47
that one.
14:48
I'm not.
14:53
I mean, I don't think so.
14:55
At the time we we were all laughing
14:57
about the iPad.
14:58
We're saying, well, you're going to walk down
14:59
the street with this giant iPhone next to
15:01
your head.
15:02
I remember making those jokes.
15:04
I think that was just.
15:05
Yeah, that was.
15:05
I think that was pretty much what I
15:08
think.
15:08
You know, only sing when I'm singled out
15:10
for something very specific.
15:13
There was I think that's where you can.
15:15
It happened in a conversation on a panel.
15:18
It was like was Twitter or something.
15:20
Yeah, it's the meaningless.
15:21
But I'm still good on my no moon
15:23
landing.
15:24
Take me back to the moon and I'll
15:25
shut up.
15:27
So I'm always on the wrong side of
15:29
that, according to people.
15:32
But it doesn't really matter is the point
15:35
is that people are craving.
15:38
You know, you have to be careful of
15:40
the ways of the world because it pollutes
15:42
your soul.
15:43
This is what's happening.
15:45
Oh, man.
15:46
Here we go.
15:47
People's souls are being corrupted.
15:50
They've been corrupted.
15:51
Give me a they're not being corrupted.
15:53
They're corrupted.
15:54
Our job, our service to no agenda nation,
15:57
not outside of it, to no agenda nation
15:59
is, you know, we've always said we resize
16:02
your amygdala.
16:03
We need to work on this again because
16:06
people are spinning up and spinning out and
16:08
they're going to start dying off.
16:10
The only thing is by that we mean
16:12
quitting the show.
16:15
I'm actually talking about dying off turnover on
16:17
this show.
16:18
That's annoying to me.
16:19
We have people like Dame Tanya over here
16:22
that used to live in the area.
16:23
Yeah.
16:24
And she hasn't listened to the show for
16:25
years.
16:26
We had a whole social network.
16:27
I don't know whatever happened to the anonymous
16:29
lesbian.
16:30
She used to be a huge fan and
16:31
she hasn't communicated at all.
16:34
Yeah.
16:35
I mean, a lot of people have stuck
16:36
with us forever, but yeah, the turnover is
16:39
interesting.
16:40
We have to bring in new people, which
16:42
is, you know, annoying.
16:43
Well, we need a new crisis.
16:44
I'm trying to identify one.
16:45
Here's the crisis.
16:46
The crisis is new TDS.
16:49
We got to calm down.
16:51
New TDS.
16:52
Go outside.
16:53
Look at the blue sky.
16:55
Sniff the clean air.
16:56
Guess I have two.
16:58
I have two clips.
16:59
I don't have the Jesse Waters clip.
17:00
I do have two clips from NPR discussing
17:02
these new Trump picks.
17:03
Okay.
17:04
And they're both actually from different parts.
17:07
They're not the same.
17:08
It's not like a continuation of the same
17:10
clip, but they're both from NPR.
17:12
One is like a quick announcement.
17:14
The other one is an elaborate quick announcement
17:16
done by a different show.
17:18
But let's go with new Trump picks live
17:21
from NPR News in Washington.
17:23
I'm Janine Herbst, president elect Donald Trump.
17:26
Today nominated Brooke Rawlins as secretary of the
17:29
Department of Agriculture.
17:30
She served as the director of the Domestic
17:32
Policy Council in his first administration.
17:35
Trump also tapped billionaire investor Scott Besant as
17:39
his treasury secretary.
17:41
That's a position with widespread responsibilities in economic,
17:44
regulatory and international affairs.
17:46
NPR's Scott Horsley has more.
17:48
He'll probably get a friendly reception from the
17:50
new GOP Congress if he's confirmed.
17:53
One of his first jobs will be getting
17:55
an extension of Trump's 2017 tax cuts, parts
17:58
of which are set to expire next year.
18:00
He'll likely be pushing on an open door
18:02
when it comes to cutting taxes, although that
18:04
would probably add to the federal debt, which
18:06
we learned just yesterday has now surpassed $36
18:09
trillion.
18:10
Yeah, baby.
18:12
Rocking and rolling.
18:15
So they had to put a negative thing
18:16
in there in these basic reports.
18:18
They don't mention he's gay.
18:20
Jesse Waters did.
18:21
But nobody...
18:23
No, it's very interesting.
18:26
Only that one report I had is about
18:28
him being openly gay.
18:30
They don't want to see it.
18:32
Jesse Waters is the only one on Fox
18:33
who's mentioned it.
18:34
I wish if I had this clip, because
18:37
in the report, Jesse says, the gays.
18:43
He's been listening to this.
18:44
So we have no turnover on Jesse Waters.
18:47
He's still with us.
18:50
So the gays...
18:52
And he's married.
18:53
He's married to some guy named John, as
18:55
a matter of fact.
18:57
But he's one of those...
18:58
It used to be called Log Cabin Republicans,
19:00
which were referring to the gays in the
19:02
Republican Party.
19:03
It breaks the narrative of the dumb Dems.
19:07
It breaks the narrative.
19:08
It does break the narrative.
19:10
Now, the thing that bothers me about this
19:12
Besant guy to jump into new TDS is
19:17
that he's a member of the CFR.
19:20
If it's not CFR, it's WEF.
19:24
Oh, no.
19:25
He's a young global leader of WEF.
19:27
Oh, no.
19:28
Oh, no.
19:30
Okay, this is the second.
19:32
This is...
19:34
I don't know if there's something funny about
19:35
the way he did that.
19:36
So here's the second version of the same
19:41
report.
19:42
The next Trump administration is fast taking shape.
19:45
A quick update on the latest round of
19:47
picks.
19:47
This afternoon, President-elect Donald Trump named Brooke
19:50
Rollins as his pick for Agriculture Secretary.
19:53
Rollins was a policy advisor in the first
19:55
Trump administration and in recent years has headed
19:57
a think tank closely aligned with Trump's agenda.
20:01
A few other names offer clues about how
20:02
Trump will govern as well.
20:04
He named Russ Vogt to head the Office
20:06
of Management and Budget, a key post for
20:08
directing federal spending.
20:10
Vogt was a leading architect behind Project 2025,
20:13
a conservative plan for a second Trump administration
20:15
that Democrats tried to make a major campaign
20:18
issue and that Trump repeatedly tried to distance
20:20
himself from.
20:22
Trump said in a statement that Vogt will,
20:23
quote, dismantle the deep state, end quote.
20:26
Another noteworthy appointment is Sebastian Gorka, who's been
20:29
nominated as the new senior director for counterterrorism.
20:33
Gorka served in Trump's White House as a
20:34
counterterrorism advisor back in 2017.
20:37
And then NPR reported that congressional Democrats alleged
20:41
Gorka had connections with anti-Semitic groups in
20:44
Hungary, something Gorka denied.
20:46
As a small production note, interestingly, these were
20:49
from two different NPR shows.
20:51
The first one had channel bias towards the
20:54
right channel.
20:55
The left one had channel bias towards the
20:57
left channel.
20:58
That's funny.
20:59
Yeah, I don't know why that is.
21:00
It's not typical.
21:01
Now, this Gorka thing is interesting because Gorka
21:03
and Bannon, when they were both part of
21:07
the original Trump team at the beginning of
21:10
his 2016 term, and they were rousted by
21:14
John Kelly.
21:16
John Kelly, who was the chief of staff
21:17
at the time, was something that seems like
21:19
a prick to me, this guy.
21:21
He's a guy who comes out and was
21:23
saying he hates Trump, for one thing.
21:25
So this is like what kind of a
21:27
Marine general would go into the office and
21:30
then start saying bad things about their boss?
21:32
You have to be something of an asshole.
21:34
And Kelly seemed as though his job was
21:37
to get rid of Bannon mainly, which he
21:39
did.
21:40
He ousted Bannon, and the story behind that
21:44
has never been told by Bannon that I
21:46
know of.
21:47
And then he also got rid of Gorka,
21:48
who he didn't like.
21:51
And Gorka is something of a blowhard.
21:53
I don't know how he came back.
21:56
He must have some pictures of somebody.
21:58
That's very interesting.
22:00
I love CBrooklyn1112 because he's infected by new
22:03
TDS.
22:04
Like Mossad connection.
22:05
I forgot that one.
22:06
I forgot the Mossad connection.
22:08
Oh, yeah.
22:09
And he also explains...
22:12
The Mossad killed Epstein is the latest, by
22:15
the way.
22:16
Well...
22:18
Whitney Webb, I'm sure, is saying that.
22:20
Whitney Webb.
22:22
Yeah, slowly I turned.
22:24
The reason for our turnover, according to the
22:26
trolls, you guys need to be more consistent
22:30
in your beliefs.
22:32
We're very consistent in our beliefs.
22:34
Explain.
22:36
Don't you think?
22:39
I think...
22:40
Our belief is to be open-minded.
22:43
We're extremely consistent with this open-mindedness.
22:46
Yeah, we're open to changing.
22:47
We're not sitting around as a couple of
22:49
ideologues going on and on with kind of
22:52
a fixed-in-stone kind of attitude about
22:55
everything, because we're not.
22:56
There's dumb crap that goes on on both
22:58
sides.
22:59
I think they want us to be Republicans.
23:02
Yes.
23:03
Yes.
23:06
Exactly.
23:07
I was a Republican.
23:09
I was a Democrat, I was a Republican,
23:10
I was an Independent, and now I'm non
23:12
-affiliated, and I like it this way.
23:14
I was a Ron Paul guy at the
23:17
very beginning.
23:17
That's right.
23:18
Well, actually, everyone's had their moment with Libertarianism.
23:22
But he was Tea Party.
23:23
That was the Tea Party days, not the
23:25
Libertarians.
23:28
Then the Tea Party got hijacked, and then
23:30
somehow he was kicked out.
23:32
They got hijacked by that Texas guy.
23:35
What Texas guy was that?
23:36
What's his name?
23:37
I can almost think of his name.
23:38
He was one of the Texas congressmen.
23:40
He hijacked the party.
23:43
A conservative Texan guy.
23:45
But he wasn't really Tea Party.
23:48
This is probably good to listen to.
23:50
I'll think of his name.
23:51
This is the NBC overview.
23:55
Then we can tick them off.
23:56
We can tick the boxes.
23:58
Trump's flurry of cabinet picks.
24:04
Tonight, President-elect Trump choosing Brooke Rollins to
24:07
lead the Agriculture Department, saying the Texas native
24:09
will spearhead efforts to protect American farmers.
24:13
Rollins, who runs a conservative think tank, is
24:15
also an alum of Trump's first term, serving
24:17
as his Director of Domestic Policy.
24:19
The appointment coming after a barrage of announcements
24:22
late Friday night.
24:23
The President-elect naming nine key appointees, most
24:26
in two areas the new White House will
24:28
be focusing on, public health and the economy.
24:31
Come on up, Scott.
24:32
Former Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, a hedge fund
24:34
manager and major donor and economic advisor to
24:37
the Trump campaign.
24:38
Major donor?
24:38
Besant expected to make good on Trump's promises
24:41
to cut taxes and raise tariffs on imports.
24:44
And I let it be known that the
24:45
tariffs will be about 100 percent.
24:48
The President-elect also tapping Oregon Congresswoman Lori
24:50
Chavez-Durima for Labor Secretary.
24:53
And Russell Vogt to return as Director of
24:55
the Office of Management and Budget.
24:57
Vogt has written that a president should take
24:59
more control of the executive branch.
25:02
What?
25:02
The whole notion of an independent agency should
25:04
be thrown out.
25:05
Trump also picking a team of doctors to
25:07
work with his choice for Health Secretary Robert
25:09
F.
25:09
Kennedy Jr. I'm going to let him go
25:11
wild on health.
25:12
I'm going to let him go wild on
25:14
the food.
25:15
The team to include former Florida Congressman Dr.
25:17
Dave Weldon for CDC Director, Fox News Medical
25:20
Contributor Dr. Jeanette Neshiswat for Surgeon General, and
25:24
Johns Hopkins Surgeon and Researcher Dr. Marty McCary
25:27
to head the FDA.
25:29
All of them expected to be disruptors for
25:32
rapidly changing how medicines and food are evaluated.
25:35
And what is scary and dangerous to health?
25:37
It's not RFK Jr. It's the food pyramid
25:40
lie that's been out there for 60 years.
25:43
The President-elect also making former aide Sebastian
25:45
Gorka a senior advisor on counterterrorism after he
25:49
only had a temporary low-level security clearance
25:51
during Trump's first term, according to a then
25:54
senior U.S. official.
25:58
Yeah.
25:58
So, I mean, why no one is yelling
26:02
about Gorka is beyond me.
26:04
That's the wild guy.
26:07
Also, not many talking about Witkoff.
26:10
That seems to be kind of passé.
26:13
Which one's Witkoff?
26:14
He will be the Middle East envoy.
26:17
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has tapped
26:19
Stephen Witkoff as his special envoy to the
26:22
Middle East.
26:22
Witkoff, a real estate investor and a close
26:24
ally of the incoming president, played a key
26:27
role in raising funds from the Jewish business
26:29
community for Trump's presidential campaign.
26:32
I know this man very well.
26:35
President Trump is as kind and compassionate a
26:38
man as I've ever met in my lifetime.
26:41
He's no stranger to the Gulf.
26:42
Having worked in U.S. real estate deals
26:44
with nations like Qatar, but his appointment, in
26:47
spite of his lack of diplomatic experience, comes
26:50
at a time when diplomacy is increasingly crucial
26:52
as Israel intensifies its devastating offensive in Palestine's
26:56
Gaza.
26:58
Witkoff is a member of the Israeli army
26:59
and is a vocal supporter of Israeli Prime
27:02
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has an ICC warrant
27:05
out for his arrest over charges related to
27:07
war crimes.
27:08
He was in attendance during Netanyahu's speech to
27:11
U.S. Congress, calling it a spiritual experience.
27:14
He has called Trump the strongest and most
27:16
vocal supporter of Israel in generations.
27:19
Witkoff is the latest addition to a long
27:21
list of picks tapped for Trump's second term
27:28
in office.
28:00
Well, who are we kidding here?
28:01
Well, what's going to change is the economy
28:03
is going to take a big dump.
28:06
Well, not right away.
28:07
It's been booming and it's going to continue
28:09
to do so.
28:10
Well, the timing is, you never exactly know
28:12
the timing.
28:13
And what will...
28:14
No, the timing is always, yes, this is
28:16
a fact.
28:17
And you never know the causation.
28:19
If you study all the stock market crashes
28:21
over history, the causations are always different.
28:27
And they're only available to you in hindsight.
28:30
You can't...
28:31
Give me three.
28:31
Give me three.
28:32
So nothing is the same?
28:34
Nothing is...
28:35
There's never been an identical trigger?
28:37
No, there's...
28:38
For example, in the 70s, the causation was
28:41
this thing called stagflation.
28:43
Well, wait a minute, wait a minute.
28:45
Didn't that have to do with the 71
28:47
going off the gold standard?
28:48
Didn't that just...
28:50
No, it already...
28:51
It crashed in 69.
28:53
It crashed before...
28:54
Going off the gold standard was an attempt
28:57
to correct the problem.
29:00
No, the gold standard thing took place after
29:02
the crash.
29:03
The crash took place in 69.
29:05
I remember it very well.
29:08
And then it lingered until you had this
29:11
high inflation rate and you had this thing
29:13
called stagflation.
29:14
That's never happened before.
29:16
Well, we came...
29:17
We thought we came close.
29:18
The recent 2007, 2008 thing was a liquidity
29:22
crisis.
29:23
And it had to do with the letters
29:24
of credit.
29:25
It had to do with these mortgage-backed
29:28
bonds, these bull crap mortgage things that were
29:32
just useless.
29:33
And they were shipped to Europe mostly, who
29:35
mocked us for doing them.
29:36
And then they found out that they were
29:37
stuck with most of them.
29:39
That's a brand new idea.
29:41
I like that one.
29:42
What I'm seeing, though, is a global push.
29:46
So if you want to talk conspiracy, it
29:48
appears to me that the United States, Russia,
29:52
and China are colluding together to enter into
29:58
a global war economy.
30:02
And it makes sense for everybody, because then
30:06
we just hunker down.
30:07
We all got to build stuff.
30:09
We have to build a missile shield.
30:12
You got to build a ship.
30:13
Well, that's the closest you can get to
30:14
controlling the public.
30:16
Yeah, but it seems like that's where it's
30:18
going.
30:19
And oh, man, NATO and also the health
30:23
care industry, they're all doing everything they can,
30:27
also COP 29.
30:29
Please, let's not do that.
30:30
We'll do that later.
30:32
Because the whole idea of Obama interrupted by
30:37
Trump, but then into Biden, the whole idea
30:40
was the new economy is green.
30:42
So that means new opportunities, mainly for people
30:48
to have meetings and eat steak and fly
30:51
in private jets and go everywhere for these
30:53
meetings three times a year.
30:55
Lots of meetings.
30:56
But it's like solar panels and windmills and
31:00
electric vehicles, all of these things.
31:03
That was supposed to be the new economy.
31:05
And Trump is coming and saying, no, no,
31:07
no, we're going to stick with what we
31:09
have.
31:10
And that's that's a big disruptor.
31:13
And so now we see besides the fact
31:15
that it's a failed idea, we see Germany,
31:18
which is the motor of the European Union,
31:20
no Germany, no European Union.
31:23
And they can't.
31:24
They're having trouble manufacturing things because of a
31:27
lack of affordable energy.
31:30
So what are you going to do?
31:31
Well, if you just say if you just
31:33
say, oh, there's war.
31:34
And I think that.
31:35
It seems that, you know, there's peace is
31:37
coming in Ukraine.
31:39
You know, Zelensky is even openly kind of
31:42
talking about how we're you know, how we're
31:44
going to do this and we're going to
31:45
have a buffer.
31:46
Actually, the buffer zone thing is interesting.
31:50
Let me see.
31:51
Where is it?
31:52
I have him here somewhere.
31:55
I think it's maybe it's maybe it's this
32:00
one.
32:01
A formal invitation has long been on Zelensky's
32:03
wish list.
32:04
But in the transatlantic alliance, it has been
32:07
greeted with resistance from many members.
32:10
And that means Ukraine needs other options to
32:13
assure its security if it reaches a peace
32:16
deal with Russia.
32:18
Ukraine will not be going into NATO.
32:20
There has to be, however, some form of
32:22
guarantee so that Ukrainians understand that the Russians
32:25
simply won't start this over next year.
32:28
And that certain elements of the West, particularly
32:31
the US, UK, France, will be ready to
32:33
stand in should that take place.
32:35
That means bilateral security guarantees.
32:37
And I think those are much, much, much
32:39
more likely than any kind of NATO arrangement.
32:42
Ukraine has already entered into bilateral security agreements
32:45
with 27 of its allies.
32:48
They pledge long term support for Ukrainian self
32:51
-defense by providing assistance to boost Ukraine's military
32:55
capabilities and shore up Ukraine's economy and governance.
32:59
But they do not contain any commitments to
33:02
come to Ukraine's defense with the deployment of
33:05
armed forces in response to future Russian aggression.
33:09
Yeah, that's not the one somewhere.
33:10
I have a clip where they talk about
33:12
the buffer zone, which will be, you know,
33:14
in this region where supposedly 11000 Koreans are
33:17
walking around.
33:19
So that's cursed because where the Koreans are,
33:22
they're not in Ukraine.
33:23
No, they're.
33:24
Well, but remember, remember, Russia doesn't want it
33:27
to be part of the buffer zone.
33:29
No, but you remember the what they're talking
33:31
about.
33:31
I'm not saying that's what the deal will
33:33
be.
33:33
They're talking about is that, you know, 10
33:35
square kilometers that Ukraine went into.
33:37
Look at us.
33:40
Look at what we did.
33:41
We're awesome.
33:41
We're winning.
33:42
That would be part of the buffer zone.
33:44
I mean, this is come.
33:45
This is coming to an end.
33:47
And so they're already trying to figure out,
33:48
OK, how do we set everybody up?
33:51
You know, sign up the European Union.
33:53
Oh, you know, we got it.
33:54
We got to have all kinds of stuff.
33:56
We got to supply Ukraine with everything except
33:57
nuclear weapons.
33:58
We got to supply with everything.
33:59
So we have to have the war economy
34:01
created.
34:03
I mean, that that just seems like and
34:05
China, of course, for us, it will be
34:06
China.
34:07
And the Patsy in the middle is going
34:09
to be Taiwan.
34:11
For all we know, they're in on it,
34:13
too.
34:13
This is this is the kind of stuff
34:15
that you have to look at.
34:15
You can step back and say, first, we're
34:18
not going to die.
34:19
There's not going to be to be nuclear
34:22
war.
34:22
This is just it hasn't stopped.
34:25
It hasn't stopped.
34:26
People are just.
34:27
Well, no, we have a show clip which
34:30
emphasizes it is quite funny.
34:31
Helped by here's Putin's former form.
34:36
Let me see his former foreign minister.
34:41
Boy, I'm really failing today.
34:44
OK, no, I'm not OK.
34:46
Where's his where's his former foreign minister?
34:49
Let me see.
34:50
Putin, his current foreign minister.
34:53
No, this is Sergei Markov.
34:56
Sergei Markov.
34:58
He's the former spokeshole, not for minister, but
35:00
spokeshole for Putin.
35:02
And he goes on the BBC, which is
35:04
what you do if you want to communicate
35:05
something to the international community.
35:07
And he says, oh, this is the war
35:09
which you started against us.
35:12
I think it's extremely, extremely dangerous.
35:16
He's good, right?
35:17
Do you think President Putin would be prepared
35:19
to use nuclear weapons?
35:21
Not now.
35:22
For sure.
35:23
I think the response could be also by
35:26
sending missiles from American military base on the
35:30
Polish and German territory.
35:32
It's one of the possible solutions.
35:34
But I think that Biden, Macron and Steiner,
35:39
as they want escalation, which could lead to
35:41
the nuclear war.
35:42
And from my understanding, in the worst scenario,
35:46
the nuclear war happened before Christmas of this
35:50
year.
35:51
Probably you will be not able to say
35:54
Merry Christmas because you will stay in the
35:57
hole trying to hide away your family from
36:00
the nuclear catastrophe.
36:02
It can develop very, very quickly.
36:04
We're not going to be able to say
36:06
Merry Christmas because we'll be hiding in the
36:10
hole.
36:10
Now, what he mentioned there, this is the
36:12
new narrative.
36:13
And I haven't really heard it in the
36:14
U.S. yet, which Putin is thinking about.
36:17
I'm thinking about attacking U.S. bases in
36:22
Poland.
36:23
And I got a, I think, a message.
36:26
Yeah, the ones that have the missiles.
36:27
I've heard this.
36:28
Yeah.
36:28
So this is from a very reliable source.
36:34
Not the old reliable sources.
36:36
Not the reliable source.
36:37
They had the quantum dots.
36:39
No, I've since upgraded my sources.
36:43
A very close relative is a field grade
36:48
officer, an army special operator of this source
36:51
of mine who is now deployed in Poland.
36:53
He believes that a Russian attack on Poland
36:55
would be suicide for Russia.
36:56
He concedes that it would be a war
36:58
of attrition, but believes that the U.S.
37:00
and Poland would F them up.
37:02
As an old veteran myself, says my source,
37:05
I'm familiar with the American weaponry, but our
37:07
arsenal isn't the only reason he thinks we
37:09
prevail.
37:10
His comment was that the Poles are excellent
37:12
warriors dedicated to the nation and to this
37:15
day have a never again mentality about Russian
37:17
meddling.
37:18
This is not the kind of country you
37:19
want to attack, especially when it's backed by
37:21
a power like the United States.
37:23
Worth mentioning, Poland is significantly less corrupt than
37:26
Ukraine, at least according to sources.
37:29
Well, it has to be.
37:31
Everything is.
37:32
Everything is less corrupt than Ukraine.
37:35
Um, you know, and just as a as
37:37
a side note on the whole, it's like
37:39
a reasonable report to me.
37:40
Yeah.
37:41
A side note on the whole nuclear war.
37:43
Oh, we got to be so afraid.
37:44
Remember the pamphlets we played the clip from
37:46
that was going around?
37:47
Oh, they're handing out nuclear war pamphlets in
37:50
Sweden.
37:52
So boots on the ground from one of
37:53
our Swedish producers.
37:56
Um, this fact is this pamphlet has been
37:58
around since the Cold War, has always been
38:01
a part of the Swedish civil defense.
38:03
There was a long period of time in
38:05
the early 2000s when the government decided there
38:07
won't be any more war.
38:08
And thus, the pamphlet was discontinued.
38:10
But in 2020, we ran out of toilet
38:13
paper and white bread.
38:14
The pamphlet was reinstated together with state radio
38:17
shows like beard is cop readiness.
38:20
So this is nothing new whatsoever.
38:23
Wait, you're telling me that because of the
38:25
shortage of toilet paper, they did this as
38:27
a distraction?
38:29
No, I think to use it as toilet
38:30
paper is what I would know.
38:32
I don't think that's true.
38:33
But I'm thinking it's obviously a distraction.
38:36
No, it's a distraction.
38:37
That would be the only way you run
38:38
out of toilet paper.
38:39
So what?
38:39
Look what's going to happen.
38:40
Yes, there's nothing compared to what's coming.
38:43
Um, I do have, um, if, if you
38:46
want to dive into it for a second,
38:47
CBS had a pretty interesting series of medium
38:50
range clips here about the ballistic missiles.
38:53
We probably saw the clips, Russia deployed a
38:56
ballistic missile and it popped open the payload
38:59
and then five, uh, five, uh, separate, uh,
39:03
charges came out and blew blew up some
39:06
stuff there in Ukraine.
39:07
And this, this may be interesting to get
39:09
some thoughts on NATO is set to hold
39:12
an emergency meeting on Tuesday after Russia tested
39:15
a new intermediate range ballistic missile on some
39:18
tests.
39:18
It seemed like a real, real deployment to
39:21
me on Ukraine.
39:22
The new missiles have the ability to carry
39:24
nuclear capable weapons.
39:27
Vladimir Putin says the law, I have the
39:29
capability to carry a nuclear weapon.
39:31
I mean, why is this supposed to be
39:32
scary?
39:33
I don't know why, you know, they, you're
39:34
right.
39:34
This is an interesting point.
39:35
They've been saying this as though it's some
39:37
new thing.
39:38
If you remember, I think it was even
39:40
as far back as the sixties or seventies
39:43
when you were a little kid, they, uh,
39:46
they were talking about new, uh, nuclear tipped,
39:49
uh, artillery shells where you had a big
39:54
gun and you could shoot this, shoot us
39:56
an artillery shell five miles.
39:58
And it was a nuke.
40:00
Now, if you could do that, obviously you
40:02
can put a nuke on anything out of
40:04
Volkswagen.
40:05
And I mean, so, so why are they
40:07
emphasizing this?
40:08
It's dumb.
40:09
No, it's to spin you up and get
40:11
you ready for the war economy.
40:12
When I was a kid in the seventies
40:14
in Europe, it was the neutron bomb.
40:18
Yes.
40:18
I remember Reagan.
40:20
Well, that was really promoted by Reagan in
40:23
the eighties.
40:23
More than I think at the set.
40:24
I know it was a developed, I think
40:26
it was developed in the seventies.
40:27
Somebody has to look it up, but I
40:29
know Reagan was seriously discussing them and he
40:32
got shut down for talking about it too
40:34
much because just so people know what the
40:36
neutron bomb was.
40:38
And, and there were kids, kids get out
40:40
of school early in Holland to march against
40:43
the American use of the neutron bomb, which
40:47
I think was also a pointer sister song,
40:49
but the neutron bomb would kill the people,
40:53
but save the buildings.
40:55
Yes.
40:56
It was a bomb that was a, it
40:58
was a hydrogen bomb type device that didn't
41:01
have any, didn't explode necessarily.
41:04
It just gave out copious amounts of, of
41:08
deadly neutrons by the load and it would
41:11
kill everything within like a 10 mile radius,
41:14
dead, anything that was living.
41:15
But then you could move back in later
41:17
into the building, you could just haul the
41:19
corpses out and you had a whole town
41:21
to yourself.
41:22
Yeah.
41:22
You just turn off.
41:23
What a great idea.
41:24
Turn off the tea kettle and you're good
41:25
to go.
41:27
Neutron bomb.
41:28
The new missiles have the ability to carry
41:29
nuclear capable weapons.
41:32
Russian president Vladimir Putin says the launch was
41:34
in response to Ukraine's recent use of long
41:36
range missiles provided by the U S inside
41:39
his country.
41:40
CBS news, senior national court, national security correspondent,
41:44
Charlie Daggett joins us now from the Pentagon.
41:46
So Charlie, the fact that Russia is testing
41:48
these intermediate missiles signal to Ukraine, the U
41:51
S and its allies.
41:52
Does it change the trajectory of this war?
41:55
I love the testing.
41:56
What is this testing?
41:57
They deployed it.
41:58
They deployed the missile.
42:00
I started to test before you continue with
42:03
this clip.
42:04
There's also a couple of other things that
42:05
came out.
42:07
The way they describe it as a medium
42:09
missile.
42:10
They want one group described as a, as
42:12
the first use of an ICBM in the
42:14
history of the world that actually got deployed.
42:17
And then another group news group I'm talking
42:20
about described as the hypersonic test missile.
42:24
Yeah.
42:24
Three, three kilometers per second.
42:26
So it's either hypersonic ICBM or whatever this
42:30
other thing is they're talking about.
42:31
And they're all had nerves and they're all
42:33
could be nuclear tipped.
42:34
And it was a test or something.
42:35
I don't know.
42:36
This is terrible reporting.
42:38
And they had a CGI animation of it
42:41
spinning in the air.
42:42
I'm telling you that when I saw that
42:43
first time I saw that video, that's what
42:45
the first thing came to mind.
42:46
This is CGI.
42:48
Well, that was CGI.
42:49
I've seen, as I've only seen the CGI
42:50
version, you know, like, uh, like the, like
42:54
that guy in the test.
42:55
They're not presenting it as CGI.
42:56
They're presenting it as a, somebody took a
42:58
video with their camera or something.
43:01
Yeah, right.
43:01
Phone.
43:02
It does, Lindsay.
43:03
It does for the people that I've spoken
43:05
to.
43:05
While some U.S. officials say Russia likely
43:08
only possesses a handful of these experimental missiles,
43:12
I've been told they pose a unique threat.
43:15
So they're capable of reaching 3000 miles.
43:18
They carry a multiple payload system.
43:20
It's called a multiple independently targetable re-entry
43:23
vehicles.
43:24
Oh, I like multiple independently targeted re-entry
43:27
vehicle.
43:28
How about missile?
43:31
Just missile.
43:32
This is important because as the missile descends,
43:35
those multiple warheads can be released at different
43:38
speeds and different directions.
43:40
Amazing.
43:40
Potentially spread over a thousand miles.
43:42
So that combined with its lofted trajectory challenges
43:46
even the most advanced of Ukraine's air defense
43:49
systems.
43:50
So the missile that we saw at Dnipro
43:51
focused on one area and we've seen some
43:53
of the videos.
43:54
So it came over overhead and then unleashed
43:57
six warheads down to a concentrated area.
44:00
It's unlike anything that they've seen on the
44:02
battlefields of Ukraine.
44:03
And yes, the term that they've used here,
44:06
they're not worried, but they're concerned.
44:09
Wait a minute.
44:11
There's no worry.
44:12
It's just concerned.
44:13
Well, now comes.
44:16
This is very troubling to me because I
44:18
know language changes over time, but I feel
44:22
like when you use the term decimated or
44:24
decimate, it still hurts me to say, oh,
44:28
you mean completely wiped out?
44:29
No, that's 10%.
44:32
Has there ever really been a change in
44:34
the dictionary term of decimated?
44:37
I think if you look at definition number
44:39
three or four, when they get down to
44:41
the newer versions, I think it does have
44:43
a connotation that it's wiped out when it
44:46
doesn't really mean that it's technically doesn't mean
44:49
it.
44:49
Okay.
44:49
So I'm looking at Miriam Webster, which is
44:52
what we usually use.
44:53
Yeah.
44:54
Because they switch their definitions faster than anybody
44:56
else.
44:56
So they still have it as a transitive
44:58
verb to select by lot and kill every
45:01
10th man.
45:03
Yeah, that's the original.
45:04
That should be number one definition.
45:06
It is number one.
45:07
Yeah.
45:08
Definition number two, to extract a tax of
45:10
10%.
45:11
Number three, to reduce drastically, especially in number
45:15
and then three B to cause great destruction
45:18
or harm to.
45:19
So, but when you're talking in military terms,
45:22
you know, I feel that you should decimate
45:25
means a 10th.
45:25
Anyway, here's the here's the problem.
45:27
The days are over.
45:28
Could Russia essentially decimate Ukraine with a handful
45:31
of these missiles they have left?
45:33
Well, as you know, not decimate, but just
45:35
for instance, right.
45:37
So we've seen and I've been there when
45:39
Russia has unleashed a number of, you know,
45:41
S-300 missiles, which are anti aircraft missiles.
45:44
They get plenty of reach.
45:45
They get the Shahad Iranian drones that can
45:48
come in.
45:49
But say, Lviv, right?
45:51
Lviv is way far west, very close to
45:53
the Polish border.
45:54
This comes in at a different trajectory than
45:57
a cruise missile, which is easier to intercept
46:00
and the missile defense systems are in place
46:02
to do that.
46:03
But if they were to launch, if Russia
46:05
were to launch a number of these missiles
46:08
at the same time, Ukraine would really struggle
46:11
to take them down.
46:12
And this, I think what we saw in
46:14
Dnipro, only talking about maybe 750 miles from
46:17
Russia, they could throw anything at Dnipro and
46:20
they have.
46:21
I think that was messaging to say, this
46:23
is what we've gotten.
46:24
This is what we can do with it.
46:26
That was messaging.
46:27
OK, well, how will Ukraine respond?
46:31
How is Ukraine expected to respond?
46:34
Well, you know, mostly they'll be asking for
46:36
more defense systems.
46:37
They're going to need, you know, patriot defense
46:40
systems.
46:41
They're going to need real defense.
46:43
Real defense.
46:44
There's concern, you know, for the first time,
46:46
really, I believe, since the war began, they
46:48
had to shut down their parliament.
46:49
Just yesterday, the United States shut down its
46:52
embassy.
46:53
We had had a warning that a new
46:55
missile was going to be tested days before
46:57
it happened, and we reported that.
47:00
So that just shows you that in a
47:01
place where air raid sirens are pretty much,
47:04
you know, a fact of daily life, some
47:07
people don't even rush to the shelters.
47:09
They are now because of the unpredictability of
47:11
what this weapon poses.
47:13
Now, the reason why I said earlier that
47:15
it seems like these three major superpowers, Russia,
47:19
the United States and China, are all in
47:21
cahoots is because, you know, we're going to
47:25
have to change them.
47:26
The reason for NATO is so we can
47:28
standardize the weapons, you know, so that you
47:31
kind of lock everybody in.
47:33
Yes, standardize it on Lockheed, Boeing.
47:35
Yeah, you lock them into our U.S.
47:37
standards, you know, so you get, you know,
47:40
you have to use your 538 quarter-inch,
47:43
whatever, instead of, you know, wrench 10-11,
47:47
10-12, whatever it is in Europe, with
47:50
centimeters.
47:51
So, and you want to have the standardized
47:52
bullets and shells, all of that, so you're
47:56
locked into our defense system.
47:59
So they're going to do that one way
48:01
or the other.
48:02
Now, to add to it so that we
48:04
can have another market to sell to, I
48:08
think that's the whole reason for this North
48:10
Korean nonsense.
48:12
South Korea says Russia supplied air defense systems
48:15
to North Korea in exchange for troops to
48:17
support the Kremlin's war with Ukraine.
48:19
What more are we learning about this?
48:21
Yeah, so this came from intelligence and South
48:23
Korean foreign ministry, who essentially, underlining what they
48:27
said was going to happen, certainly with the
48:29
America, the United States and others were worried
48:32
about.
48:32
North Korea sent 11,000 troops to Russia.
48:36
Why are we worried about it?
48:37
Why are we worried about it?
48:39
Why are we worried?
48:40
It's South Korea.
48:41
I mean, no offense.
48:43
But, oh, so worried, so worried.
48:45
No, we're not.
48:47
You walk on the street, you're worried about
48:48
South Korea.
48:50
Will anybody say, oh, yeah, I'm so worried
48:51
about South Korea?
48:53
No.
48:54
Yeah, you're right.
48:55
There's no worry.
48:56
We don't need that.
48:57
They immediately started saying, well, wait a minute,
48:59
what do they get in return?
49:01
And this seems to be an indication.
49:02
So they have anti-aircraft missiles that are
49:05
being supplied to North Korea.
49:07
Not that big a deal.
49:09
But in terms of the technology, what they're
49:11
more capable of, I mean, North Korea's got
49:13
their own air defense systems.
49:14
This is new because it's Russian.
49:16
They're also trading technology.
49:18
According to the same statement, the Russians are
49:21
providing North Korea with oil.
49:24
And that is against sanctions, not that it
49:26
much matters with those two countries.
49:28
But you cut off Russia from the financial
49:31
system.
49:32
You forbid the EU to take in oil,
49:35
which, of course, they're still doing.
49:37
And then, oh, well, it's against sanctions.
49:39
Russia is supplying oil to North Korea.
49:41
That's no good.
49:42
It's that sort of cooperation.
49:44
You know, this is a two-way street.
49:45
11,000 North Korean troops, when you consider
49:48
tremendous losses that Russia is suffering, is really
49:51
just a drop in the ocean.
49:53
You have to ask yourself what North Korea
49:54
is getting in exchange for that.
49:56
Oh, what are they getting in exchange?
49:57
You have to ask yourself.
49:58
I don't want to ask myself this.
50:00
Last clip.
50:01
So.
50:03
Yeah, who cares?
50:04
Everybody's got there to coin your phrase.
50:07
Tit in a ringer about, you know, Trump
50:09
coming in and NATO.
50:11
So time for an emergency meeting.
50:13
Ukraine is hoping for concrete and meaningful outcomes
50:17
at next week's emergency NATO meeting.
50:19
What does Kiev asking for?
50:19
They're going to be asking for more of
50:20
those defense systems.
50:22
Do you know, Lindsey, that is what I
50:24
just read that statement.
50:25
And that's where the statement ends.
50:27
But it's a refrain that we've heard time
50:30
and time again.
50:31
They want concrete productivity out of these meetings.
50:35
You know, they can't have platitudes.
50:37
NATO is concerned.
50:38
Poland especially is concerned about the development of
50:41
this new weapon.
50:43
Russia has got plenty of weapons that can
50:45
reach NATO countries.
50:46
It's what this weapon represents.
50:48
And I also have to keep drilling down
50:50
about this.
50:51
You know, the United States just had a
50:54
275 million dollar aid package promised to Ukraine.
50:59
There's something like five billion dollars in aid
51:01
on the table right now.
51:03
It's called a surge that the Biden administration
51:05
said that they want to get.
51:07
I can see the board meetings at Raytheon
51:09
already.
51:09
Hey, hey, Bob, there's five billion on the
51:13
table.
51:14
How are we going to get that?
51:15
We want most of that.
51:16
That's our money.
51:18
To Ukraine.
51:19
And the clock is ticking.
51:21
You know, the Ukrainians know it.
51:22
The Russians know it.
51:23
We're headed to a new administration.
51:25
Nobody's entirely sure whether that support for Ukraine
51:28
will continue past January 20th.
51:31
So there's very much a hurry up offense,
51:33
particularly with the development of these weapons.
51:35
The United States has allowed these attack.
51:37
That's that's that's that's a good catch.
51:40
Hurry up offense.
51:42
Since whenever has a hurry up offense been
51:44
a good strategy?
51:45
I don't think it's a good strategy.
51:48
It's always a good strategy.
51:49
I think you need to know why the
51:52
reason it's a football term and it refers
51:54
to a hurry up offense, which is hard
51:56
to do because it poops you out.
51:57
But if you can pull it off, it
51:59
keeps the other team that so they can't
52:01
do any substitutions during the during the play.
52:04
They have to keep their guys in there
52:06
and then you keep running and drag it.
52:08
And if you can outlast them in terms
52:10
of of the ability to have more stamina,
52:13
then you'll they'll be beaten back and you'll
52:16
beat the crap out of them with a
52:18
hurry up offense.
52:19
So it's a it's a it's a good
52:20
strategy is the way you can do it.
52:22
Is the wishbone a part of the.
52:27
Something else that's a sexual position on it.
52:29
So there's very much a hurry up offense,
52:32
particularly with the development of these new weapons.
52:34
The United States has allowed these attack them's
52:36
longer range weapons to be used on Russian
52:39
soil.
52:40
That's a major development.
52:41
And it's one of the reasons that President
52:43
Putin said he's unleashed this new weapon directly
52:46
because of that.
52:48
And Britain's storm shadow.
52:49
So we have seen a huge escalation in
52:51
the past week or so.
52:53
Ukraine's been out of the headlines for a
52:54
long time.
52:55
We have teams there.
52:56
Once again, this is front page news.
52:57
We're talking about it now.
52:59
This is going to accelerate and increase as
53:01
we get closer to January.
53:02
So mockingbird media, the TV stations fighting for
53:07
their lives.
53:07
They got teams out there again because their
53:10
military sponsors demand it.
53:13
We demand coverage.
53:15
We have to have coverage.
53:17
We need that.
53:18
There's five billion on the table right now.
53:19
It's just a drop in the bucket compared
53:21
to our trillion dollar annual budget.
53:25
But we want it for Christmas.
53:27
It's our Christmas bonus.
53:29
And the relatively young German foreign minister.
53:33
What's her name?
53:34
Her name is Annalena.
53:37
Annalena Baerbock.
53:39
She weighs in.
53:40
We are in the midst of a geopolitical
53:42
power play by a few fossil fuel states.
53:47
Their playing board is the backs of the
53:49
poorest.
53:50
Fossil fuel states.
53:52
Fossil fuel states?
53:54
Yes.
53:55
What does that mean?
53:56
It means America, Russia.
53:59
What other fossil fuel states are there?
54:02
It's us.
54:04
Us and Russia.
54:05
This is a power play.
54:05
Is that bad?
54:07
Is she implying that fossil fuel states are
54:10
a bad group of mean people or what?
54:13
Yes, because they don't have any energy.
54:17
They have to buy it from us.
54:18
They had all those nukes.
54:20
Why don't they just crank them back up?
54:22
Were they idiots to shut those down?
54:24
Yeah.
54:25
This is, but that's exactly it.
54:27
The power play was within your own government,
54:30
Annalena.
54:31
That was the power play.
54:33
And so, you know, everyone, oh, we don't
54:34
want Russian gas.
54:35
And then we'll just take it from America.
54:37
Sure.
54:38
Sure, we'll do that.
54:39
Twice the price.
54:40
Yes.
54:41
Their playing board is the backs of the
54:43
poorest and most vulnerable countries.
54:46
Now she's trying to make it sound like
54:48
poor people in Africa.
54:50
No, no.
54:51
That's the COP 29.
54:52
This is different.
54:53
We, as the European Union, will not accept
54:55
a deal that comes at the expense of
54:59
those who suffer most from the effects of
55:02
the ones that are getting killed.
55:03
Yeah.
55:03
Well, hold on a second.
55:04
Yeah.
55:05
At the expense of the dead Ukrainians.
55:07
Is that what she's trying to imply?
55:09
Here's what she's talking about.
55:10
This is the widows and the orphans of
55:13
the dead Ukrainians.
55:14
That's what she's talking about.
55:15
They're not they're now poor and sad.
55:17
No kidding.
55:18
Good job.
55:18
We, as the European Union, will not accept
55:21
a deal that comes at the expense of
55:24
those who suffer most from the effects of
55:27
climate crisis.
55:28
There it is.
55:29
We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially
55:32
the small island states.
55:33
She brings in everything.
55:35
Well, listen, the small island states.
55:37
Now she's going off the reservation.
55:40
We will not allow the most vulnerable, especially
55:43
the small island states, to be ripped off
55:46
by the new fuel rich fossil fuel emitters.
55:49
We have the backing, unfortunately, at this moment
55:53
of the presidency.
55:55
Ripped off?
55:57
Yeah, ripped off.
55:58
Yeah, we're getting ripped off.
56:00
Nobody's even bothering them.
56:03
Getting ripped off as a does she even
56:05
know what that means?
56:07
She's a Gen Zer.
56:09
So she can do what she can say.
56:10
Well, she's an idiot.
56:12
The Germans have lost the plot.
56:14
Yeah, they have.
56:15
They have.
56:16
They have.
56:18
Okay, there's two things, three things I need
56:21
to say.
56:22
One, this is because it came up on
56:26
the show.
56:26
And I don't I can't remember the context
56:28
of it.
56:28
But we were talking about wireless power from
56:30
space.
56:31
Yes.
56:32
So the U.S. Army has just contracted
56:38
Raytheon to replace fuel lines with beamed power,
56:44
which is yeah, where are they going?
56:47
Where's the power coming from?
56:49
I'm not quite sure how that's going.
56:51
I just always imagine a bird flying through
56:53
the beam and just on fire.
56:55
The second German industrialists are very worried about
57:00
Trump's return.
57:03
Why?
57:04
Because they're worried that he's going to all
57:07
of Europe.
57:08
My family, like, hey, it's probably good for
57:11
America that Trump is going to be president
57:13
again.
57:14
Bad for us, though, because why?
57:16
Oh, this is literally we won't be able
57:19
to export anything.
57:21
I said, where are you getting this from?
57:23
Oh, brother.
57:25
I said, cars, cars, maybe.
57:27
What?
57:28
Yeah, you know, even cars.
57:30
Come on, they're electric.
57:31
Maybe Italy is worried about exporting their their
57:35
olive oil.
57:36
And oh, no, my sister, my sister, like,
57:39
oh, no, nuts.
57:41
We have such an insatiable appetite for imports
57:44
that we're all of a sudden what we're
57:46
going to make our everyone's going to be
57:47
using California olive oil.
57:49
We can't barely supply the state, let alone
57:50
the world.
57:52
So what are they crazy?
57:54
No, they they have they have new sources
57:57
who are spinning them up.
57:59
Oh, man.
58:02
And then this one, this we've been wondering
58:05
where Victoria Noodleman has gone.
58:09
Yes.
58:09
Yeah, we're always wondering where she's gone.
58:12
Whatever, whatever.
58:13
Bad.
58:13
This is like she's like a like a
58:15
bad penny.
58:16
Well, you know where she showed up.
58:18
She is now an ambassador to the National
58:21
Endowment for Democracy.
58:23
Oh, that makes sense.
58:25
Which is an obvious spook operation, slush fund
58:29
for the State Department and intelligence.
58:33
Yeah, I'm surprised they haven't sent us money.
58:36
Right.
58:37
So she will be doing public advocacy and
58:41
representation as a high profile representative.
58:44
Any day the ambassador engages in public speaking,
58:47
participates in global forums and represents the organization's
58:51
mission to advance democracy.
58:53
Look out some democracy incoming and civil society,
58:57
both domestically and internationally.
59:00
Diplomatic engagement.
59:02
The ambassador helps to foster strategic partnerships with
59:06
governments.
59:07
I like the way they use the term
59:08
loosely use the term ambassador as if she's
59:12
representing a country.
59:14
This is like you're the ambassador.
59:16
Oh, yeah.
59:17
Ambassador Adam Curry is the ambassador for the
59:19
No Agenda show.
59:20
Next year, if we're still alive, God willing,
59:23
we need to give out ambassadorships.
59:27
Boom.
59:29
If I mean, if if the National Endowment
59:32
for Democracy can name someone an ambassador, I
59:35
think we can.
59:35
By the way, we need No Agenda ambassadors
59:39
to represent us in foreign countries.
59:42
I think we can do it before year
59:43
end.
59:44
The ambassador provides strategic advice to NED leadership.
59:48
That's right.
59:49
Our ambassadors will provide us with strategic advice
59:52
on key global political trends and opportunities.
59:55
This actually sounds like a No Agenda gig
59:57
offering expertise on how to effectively address challenges
1:00:00
facing democratic institutions.
1:00:02
And then the best part, fundraising and advocacy.
1:00:06
You see how this fits in with us?
1:00:08
In addition to representing NED publicly, the ambassador
1:00:11
plays a vital role in promoting the organization's
1:00:13
initiatives, helping to secure funding, building alliances and
1:00:17
mobilize support for democracy.
1:00:19
You've got to put this text aside.
1:00:21
I can use it.
1:00:22
Yeah, well, it's on their website.
1:00:23
But yes, yes, I've got the text for
1:00:26
you.
1:00:29
So anyway, to summarize, new TDS is unhealthy.
1:00:34
Stop it, stop it, stop it.
1:00:37
Instead, let's go back to TDS classic.
1:00:42
Because I just I need to fit these
1:00:45
these two clips in.
1:00:47
Well, good, because it leads me to my
1:00:48
TikTok clips.
1:00:50
I promise I could play.
1:00:51
I didn't promise it.
1:00:53
One person sends an email and you're all
1:00:55
encouraged.
1:00:56
One, one producer.
1:00:58
Are you referring to the to the female
1:01:01
listener who said that the TikTok clips are
1:01:04
the best part of the show?
1:01:05
Is that the one you're talking about?
1:01:07
Yes, yes.
1:01:07
And now you're all encouraged.
1:01:09
I'm always encouraged.
1:01:11
I don't need I thank her for the
1:01:13
notice, but I don't I don't need encouragement.
1:01:16
No.
1:01:17
So are you familiar with Jennifer Rubin, columnist
1:01:22
for WAPO?
1:01:23
Well, we talked about her before.
1:01:24
You just don't remember it.
1:01:26
But she is she's the one who always
1:01:28
came.
1:01:28
She was always listed as the as the
1:01:31
conservative blogger columnist.
1:01:33
She's supposed to be a blogger.
1:01:35
This was years ago.
1:01:37
She would always be considered the blogger conservative.
1:01:41
She was always billed by the WAPO as
1:01:45
a conservative when she has no conservative leanings
1:01:48
whatsoever.
1:01:49
She's pretty much a communist.
1:01:51
She's conservative.
1:01:52
This is what they've been trying to sell
1:01:54
the public because they wanted to have a
1:01:56
few balanced columnists.
1:01:57
They always different columnists.
1:01:59
And so she was dubbed a conservative and
1:02:02
she would basically just rail against conservatism because
1:02:06
it's not what it should be, which is
1:02:08
communism.
1:02:09
Now, I think this is an evergreen.
1:02:11
This is an evergreen by the conservative columnist
1:02:14
of WAPO.
1:02:15
And for people who don't get political news,
1:02:18
who never pick up a newspaper, who never
1:02:21
turn on CNN, who never even bother with
1:02:24
Fox News, those people really have no idea
1:02:27
what's going on.
1:02:28
And that means we have to bend over
1:02:31
backwards not to suck up to these people,
1:02:34
not to make excuses for them, but at
1:02:37
least to communicate the basic facts.
1:02:40
You don't have a vaccine because you're not
1:02:44
getting a child tax credit because all the
1:02:49
good things that are happening at the state
1:02:51
level, they have to know why they're getting
1:02:54
those things.
1:02:54
Oh, you have a chip manufacturing plant because
1:02:57
a Democratic president put that into effect and
1:03:01
a Democratic governor went out and solicited bids.
1:03:06
And now you have X number of thousands
1:03:09
of jobs.
1:03:10
It's that simple.
1:03:11
You can't talk broad themes.
1:03:13
You have to boil it down to nuts
1:03:15
and bolts and you have to be pithy.
1:03:18
What do I mean by pithy?
1:03:19
Pithy.
1:03:20
Okay, so what she's doing here, the conservative
1:03:23
blogger, is explaining how Democrats need to explain
1:03:26
to other Democrats who have withdrawn, withdrawn from
1:03:30
news.
1:03:32
You have to explain to them how bad
1:03:34
it really is and you need to be
1:03:35
pithy.
1:03:35
What is the definition of pithy?
1:03:37
Do you know that offhand?
1:03:38
Oh, it's just boiling it down to the
1:03:40
essence, I think is what I would define
1:03:44
it.
1:03:45
Pithy.
1:03:45
But this part that you're going to play.
1:03:47
I'm sorry.
1:03:48
This part you're going to play next is
1:03:50
the only part that's really been floating around.
1:03:53
And I think this is what you mean
1:03:54
by the evergreen.
1:03:55
This woman is an idiot.
1:03:57
And you have to be pithy.
1:03:59
What do I mean by pithy?
1:04:01
How about this?
1:04:03
Republicans want to kill your kids.
1:04:05
It's actually true.
1:04:06
It's true.
1:04:07
If you're going to oppose vaccinations, if you're
1:04:10
going to stop breakthrough medical research, if you're
1:04:13
going to allow minors and all sorts of
1:04:17
people to get semi-automatic weapons, which they
1:04:20
use to shoot up schools, well, then you
1:04:22
are responsible for kids' health and death.
1:04:26
Unfortunately, it has to be that simple and
1:04:29
that direct.
1:04:30
And it has to be over and over
1:04:32
and over again.
1:04:33
There it is, America.
1:04:35
Either your kids are going to be dead
1:04:36
or your boy is going to be a
1:04:38
girl.
1:04:39
I mean, the choice is yours, America.
1:04:42
And then the dial, the editor of the
1:04:43
dial.
1:04:44
She is, this is that particular clip.
1:04:46
I could have, this has been going around
1:04:49
for a couple of weeks.
1:04:50
I was almost tempted to click, but it
1:04:52
annoys me so much to listen to her
1:04:55
and her self-righteous approach.
1:04:59
She's patronizing.
1:05:00
She's terrible.
1:05:01
She's, and she's just full of herself.
1:05:04
And this is, she's worse than anybody out
1:05:06
there.
1:05:07
And to think that she, and she's on
1:05:10
video doing this on her podcast.
1:05:12
No business doing video.
1:05:16
But the issue is, and this is what
1:05:19
we've seen.
1:05:19
We got early reports from YouTubers and we're
1:05:23
seeing an overall downtrend, a withdrawal.
1:05:27
Only the super angry have gone over to
1:05:30
weep on blue sky.
1:05:32
But there, people have, people have given up.
1:05:34
I think that a big difference of Trump
1:05:36
two versus Trump one is that people are
1:05:39
really burnt out.
1:05:40
I'm hearing all around me, you know, I'm
1:05:43
just going to not read the news.
1:05:44
I'm tuning it out.
1:05:45
I don't have to care about this anymore.
1:05:47
And I think that that's true among, you
1:05:49
know, Democrats writ large with the party is
1:05:52
in disarray.
1:05:53
No one knows what direction to go.
1:05:55
People are tired of fighting and they're tired
1:05:58
of fighting with each other.
1:05:59
And it's also true among activists.
1:06:02
There was a sense in, you know, Trump
1:06:04
when Trump was first elected in 2016 of,
1:06:08
you know, people coming together can stop bad
1:06:11
things.
1:06:12
And that, you know, that kind of energy
1:06:15
takes a lot to be sustained over time.
1:06:19
And what we're seeing now is, is a
1:06:21
lot of sense of being tired.
1:06:24
And, you know, this is exactly what's happening.
1:06:26
People have given up.
1:06:30
People have given up.
1:06:31
They're tired of fighting.
1:06:33
They're like, OK, whatever.
1:06:35
You know, they see that especially after the
1:06:38
Hitler, you know, he's going to turn the
1:06:40
military on you on election day.
1:06:42
All of this stuff turned out to be
1:06:44
not true.
1:06:46
And so people rightfully are given up and
1:06:48
they need to be embraced.
1:06:49
I'm just saying we need to embrace them.
1:06:53
In fact, we need to embrace people like
1:06:57
I was quite surprised by this.
1:07:00
Brian Williams.
1:07:02
Brian Williams, who did the election coverage for
1:07:06
his new job after being exposed as a
1:07:09
big phony, if you're a liar, he got
1:07:12
fired for being a big phony.
1:07:14
I was under fire.
1:07:15
We crashed.
1:07:16
What was the helicopter story?
1:07:17
He had about there was more than one
1:07:20
story that he just made up.
1:07:22
He got shot down, got shot down.
1:07:23
So he goes on Seth Meyers show, which
1:07:25
I didn't know was still on the air
1:07:27
because television is really becoming irrelevant, except for
1:07:30
the clips that we all diligently post on
1:07:33
on X and social media.
1:07:36
Blue Sky, you don't see much of Blue
1:07:38
Sky is just basically Jeff Jarvis complaining all
1:07:41
day long.
1:07:41
That's right.
1:07:43
Jeff Jarvis.
1:07:43
Oh, yeah.
1:07:44
All those guys are over there.
1:07:46
Harris, Jeff Jarvis.
1:07:49
You know, what's funny about that or move.
1:07:53
That's all right.
1:07:53
But these guys, they build an audience.
1:07:57
In fact, there's a couple of them that
1:07:58
have built really huge audiences on Twitter, and
1:08:01
then they just abandon them.
1:08:02
What kind of thinking is this?
1:08:04
Because I have principles.
1:08:06
I have scruples, dammit.
1:08:09
Scruples.
1:08:10
There you go.
1:08:10
It's a show title.
1:08:12
Here's Brian Williams laying it out succinctly.
1:08:16
It is tough love time for the Democratic
1:08:18
Party.
1:08:18
I think it needs to be stripped down
1:08:20
and rebuilt.
1:08:21
I think that means a change in leadership.
1:08:24
I want to know who thought it was
1:08:26
a good idea that Joe Biden stand for
1:08:29
another four years at 80 years of age
1:08:31
and 37% popularity.
1:08:34
So then that settled the party with a
1:08:36
British like short campaign season for them.
1:08:39
I think it's insulting when members of the
1:08:44
working class, which the Democratic Party has lost
1:08:47
entirely in our lifetimes to insist the economy
1:08:52
is doing great.
1:08:53
A 12 pack of bounty is $40.
1:08:57
Rich folks don't feel that poor folks already
1:09:00
switched to sparkle during the covid during the
1:09:04
lockdown.
1:09:05
And I think telling them that the Nasdaq
1:09:08
is gangbusters is further insulting.
1:09:11
It's insulting.
1:09:12
I think the biggest unforced error of the
1:09:14
Biden administration by far was the border to
1:09:17
tell people it's not a problem is insulting
1:09:20
for the working class to see incoming migrants
1:09:23
getting welcome bags, debit cards and motel rooms
1:09:28
is probably insulting as well.
1:09:31
So there's a lot of work to do.
1:09:33
You know, it was when they they they
1:09:35
handed out camo hats that said Harris Walls
1:09:38
and the Democrats were they were kind of
1:09:41
charmed by that.
1:09:42
Their party has gone quinoa and the rest
1:09:45
of America's eating at Cracker Barrel.
1:09:48
And so they it was kind of an
1:09:51
ironic use of something millions of Americans put
1:09:54
on their heads to start their day every
1:09:56
day.
1:09:57
Exactly.
1:09:58
Where was this Brian Williams?
1:10:00
Yeah, this rant has been going.
1:10:03
This is a good round.
1:10:03
I'm glad you got it.
1:10:04
Yeah, this rant has been floating around and
1:10:06
it is a killer.
1:10:08
And exact you're exactly right.
1:10:10
Where is this commentary before the election or
1:10:14
six months ago or two years ago?
1:10:17
Because he's in the middle.
1:10:18
Yeah, believe me, he's no longer invited to.
1:10:21
In fact, I don't know if there are
1:10:22
dinner parties anymore.
1:10:24
The people that did the dinner parties are
1:10:26
tired.
1:10:26
We're tired.
1:10:27
We're just going to go live in the
1:10:29
Hamptons for a year.
1:10:30
Or we're going to move to it.
1:10:32
We're going to go sit in our house
1:10:33
in the south of France, whatever.
1:10:37
Yeah, I know that's what that's not too
1:10:40
far from the truth with these people.
1:10:41
So then we have television and I just
1:10:44
include all moving images that come through a
1:10:46
cable as television, not not YouTube, but television,
1:10:50
linear television who start at the top of
1:10:53
the hour and end at the top of
1:10:54
the hour with 18 minutes of commercials.
1:10:56
They are beside themselves.
1:10:57
They don't know what to do other than
1:10:59
justify their existence.
1:11:01
And the reason you should not be watching
1:11:04
Joe Rogan.
1:11:06
No, you should not be watching Theo Vaughn.
1:11:09
You should not be watching Tucker Carlson.
1:11:12
You shouldn't.
1:11:14
But there are reasons why you need to
1:11:17
be with the big corporate media.
1:11:20
And I hate to do it, but I
1:11:21
have to give you a trigger warning because,
1:11:23
you know, it's at the tone.
1:11:25
A clip from The View will be played.
1:11:27
Shelter in place.
1:11:29
People want us divided and they aren't just
1:11:31
here in this country.
1:11:32
They're foreign foreign adversaries who are infiltrating our
1:11:35
social media because it is prudent for us
1:11:38
to stay that way.
1:11:39
When you see something that really pisses you
1:11:42
off, you should triple check that one.
1:11:43
Yeah, but I think that that's why people
1:11:45
like our show, because they know that we
1:11:47
are checked by ABC News.
1:11:49
But everybody.
1:11:50
Yeah.
1:11:50
I mean, we're wrong.
1:11:52
We have, you know, the legal note here
1:11:54
pointing to Sonny Hostin.
1:11:59
We went from Walter Cronkite basically to this
1:12:03
guy, Joe Rogan, who believes in dragons.
1:12:05
He I checked it.
1:12:07
He believes in drag.
1:12:07
He believes in drag.
1:12:08
Yes, I did.
1:12:10
And he also thinks that dragons like, I
1:12:13
guess, like dinosaur type type of animals roam
1:12:16
the earth when people did.
1:12:17
So this is the type of really, really
1:12:20
bad information that's going out.
1:12:22
Well, it's offense.
1:12:22
There are some really good.
1:12:24
It's possible that Donald Trump did roam the
1:12:25
earth when dinosaurs.
1:12:28
So so stupid that she said, oh, no,
1:12:30
we fact check everything.
1:12:32
And then she goes in.
1:12:33
Why?
1:12:33
Yeah, I looked.
1:12:34
He believes in dragons.
1:12:35
Like what?
1:12:36
What is wrong with these people?
1:12:38
People are even the audience like they're running
1:12:42
away from this nonsense.
1:12:43
It's collapsing unto itself.
1:12:47
And after they try to justify their existence,
1:12:51
even they just talk about social media.
1:12:53
There are some really good news kind of
1:12:56
influencer types.
1:12:57
And I think it's great that they're getting
1:12:58
information about global and current events in front
1:13:00
of younger people who maybe don't tune into
1:13:02
traditional media.
1:13:03
But to Sarah's point, there has to be
1:13:05
some fact checking and actually verification of the
1:13:07
things that are shared, because I spent a
1:13:08
lot of time on Instagram reels and I'm
1:13:10
certain things that I get outraged about.
1:13:12
Says enough about this group.
1:13:14
I spend a lot of time on Instagram
1:13:15
reels.
1:13:16
OK, you have a life.
1:13:18
Oh, that's not even true.
1:13:20
But I have the sense to go and
1:13:21
look it up.
1:13:21
But what I do worry about with this,
1:13:23
like the blue sky versus X, because a
1:13:25
lot of people I follow on Twitter have
1:13:27
now left to go to blue sky.
1:13:28
I worry we're all going into our own
1:13:30
echo chamber.
1:13:31
So we had this, you know, this election
1:13:33
that was tense.
1:13:34
Donald Trump won in the right is going
1:13:35
to stay on X and then the left
1:13:37
is all going to be on blue sky.
1:13:38
How do we try to talk to each
1:13:40
other?
1:13:40
Well, unfortunately, I will have to say the
1:13:44
other side, I think, has driven people away
1:13:47
because, you know, it's not just discourse.
1:13:50
It's nasty name calling coming after your family.
1:13:54
And I'm going to do this to you.
1:13:56
And I don't think anyone should have to
1:13:58
take that from anybody if they don't have
1:14:00
to.
1:14:00
So I'm not and I think a lot
1:14:03
of Republicans who also are getting that because
1:14:06
they have opinions that may differ from what
1:14:09
is being said.
1:14:09
They're moving as well because, you know, and
1:14:12
I know why also, because, you know, as
1:14:14
I believe, you know, you know, you know,
1:14:16
Elon Musk is the actual vice president.
1:14:19
I mean, fact check.
1:14:22
Elon Musk is the actual, actual vice president.
1:14:27
I like the way that that clip was
1:14:29
structured because it starts off with ABC fact
1:14:31
checks everything we do.
1:14:32
So we're great.
1:14:33
And then it comes up with something like
1:14:35
that.
1:14:35
At the end of nobody says anything.
1:14:37
Yeah, exactly.
1:14:38
So let's see.
1:14:41
Oh, here's the Washington.
1:14:42
I'm looking at blue sky to see if
1:14:43
they're all kind over there because, you know,
1:14:46
obviously they're getting worse.
1:14:47
So I understand.
1:14:48
I don't go there.
1:14:49
I've never even opened that site once.
1:14:51
I'm going to have to eventually because you're
1:14:53
going to start bringing it up to be
1:14:54
over there a lot.
1:14:56
Wapo Sebastian.
1:14:57
I liked I do like the journalists.
1:14:59
The are our fabled journalists that are famous
1:15:02
that teach journalism.
1:15:05
And there's more than a few of them.
1:15:07
And they're all biased as hell.
1:15:09
And it's just like, wow.
1:15:10
And they're all over blue sky and mastodon.
1:15:13
Well, let's start with the Washington Post.
1:15:15
They post on the sky.
1:15:18
Sebastian Gorka, the pugilistic commentator.
1:15:21
What does pugilistic mean?
1:15:23
That means he's a boxer.
1:15:24
That means literally he's a boxer.
1:15:26
The pugilist, the pugilistic commentator who leveraged fears
1:15:30
about Islam as a threat to Western civilization
1:15:32
into a short-lived role in the first
1:15:35
Trump administration, is poised for a second run
1:15:37
inside the White House.
1:15:39
Kara Swisher.
1:15:40
Let's see what she has.
1:15:44
Well, she's dumb.
1:15:45
Let me see.
1:15:45
She's always well, she posts about cowboy hats.
1:15:48
I don't know what her problem is.
1:15:50
She posts with cowboy hat.
1:15:52
I don't know.
1:15:53
Kara Swisher.
1:15:55
Steve Jobs.
1:15:57
She posts a link to Elon Musk.
1:15:59
He has to become a beta.
1:16:02
Oh, man.
1:16:03
What?
1:16:04
Did she just post nonsense?
1:16:05
Here's a Muppet with a hair on fire.
1:16:07
And she posts, this reminds me of the
1:16:08
redonkulous Twitter files hair on fire nonsense on
1:16:11
steroids, which is to say a whole lot
1:16:13
of nothing to show for it.
1:16:14
And that's a tragedy for the taxpayer.
1:16:17
Huh?
1:16:17
She used the word redonkulous.
1:16:19
Oh, she does this.
1:16:20
She used a gajillion.
1:16:22
She used these words all the time.
1:16:23
These are all Rachel Maddow terms.
1:16:28
Yeah.
1:16:29
Let's see if there's Jeff Jarvis, if he's
1:16:30
posted anything new.
1:16:32
You need to get on the blue sky,
1:16:35
man.
1:16:35
I'm going to hold off.
1:16:37
Yeah, let's see.
1:16:39
Oh, Jeff Jarvis.
1:16:41
Elon Musk investment in Twitter seemed insane, but
1:16:44
it gave him his power.
1:16:48
That's it?
1:16:49
That's a post?
1:16:49
That's a post.
1:16:51
Why would it?
1:16:52
That's just what's a rando comment out of
1:16:55
the blue just because it's on your mind.
1:16:58
I had a wonderful conversation.
1:16:59
I have a clever idea.
1:17:01
I have a clever comment I'm going to
1:17:03
make.
1:17:03
And then that's what you end up posting.
1:17:06
He's a very smart man.
1:17:08
He's a professor.
1:17:09
Well, he was.
1:17:10
I think he's retired.
1:17:13
He does a lot of reboosting or rewinding,
1:17:17
I guess we call it on blue sky.
1:17:19
Is it whining?
1:17:20
You can whine and you can rewind.
1:17:22
I don't know.
1:17:24
It's called skeets or something.
1:17:25
It's got some screwy name.
1:17:27
I mean, we have boosted skittles, boosted to
1:17:29
slash the X and whine on blue sky.
1:17:32
I can't think of anything else.
1:17:33
All right.
1:17:33
Let's play a couple of tick tock clips
1:17:35
and break this up.
1:17:36
Geez.
1:17:38
Let's start with this is a back to
1:17:41
what you were previously discussing.
1:17:43
And let's talk about this is this a
1:17:45
bunch of these tick tock clips are out
1:17:46
there about the Thanksgiving quitters.
1:17:49
Oh, yes.
1:17:50
OK, this is about quitting your family.
1:17:53
Yeah, quit the family because they voted for
1:17:55
Trump.
1:17:56
OK, hold on.
1:18:04
I'm not going home for Thanksgiving this year.
1:18:06
I'm 31 and it's my first time standing
1:18:09
up to my family like this.
1:18:10
And it honestly feels like a huge relief.
1:18:13
I'm not doing this to punish them or
1:18:15
to be petty, but I did let them
1:18:17
know that it just makes me too angry
1:18:19
and upset to be around them right now.
1:18:21
And this Thanksgiving, I simply have to excuse
1:18:24
myself from the family table.
1:18:25
I debated going to Thanksgiving and making a
1:18:28
huge scene and having a blowout over politics.
1:18:30
But in the end, I actually don't think
1:18:31
that that's going to be effective or a
1:18:33
good use of my energy.
1:18:35
I genuinely feel that letting them know that
1:18:37
this is really personal to me and it
1:18:38
does affect me and that this is something
1:18:40
that will keep me from family holidays is
1:18:42
actually kind of a way to get through
1:18:44
to like conservative boomer families more so than
1:18:47
anything else.
1:18:48
And my goal really isn't to change their
1:18:49
mind because they've been pretty deeply entrenched in
1:18:51
their value set for many, many years.
1:18:53
And it's the one they indoctrinated me into.
1:18:55
But with Thanksgiving coming on the heels of
1:18:57
such an atrocious election, I just thought I
1:18:58
would share that I'm doing something differently this
1:19:00
year and that it's sad, but it feels
1:19:03
right.
1:19:03
I mean, so what happens is you see
1:19:05
this and you think, what do you think
1:19:07
when you when you see this clip?
1:19:08
You think, wow, what a crazy person.
1:19:11
What do you think?
1:19:12
Well, I'm looking at she's 31, so she's
1:19:14
a mature woman bordering on middle aged.
1:19:18
She obviously is a cat lady.
1:19:21
And she now she's standing up to her
1:19:23
parents for the first time as the wait.
1:19:25
Didn't you move out of the house?
1:19:27
That's standing up to your parents.
1:19:28
You know, they'd like to keep you there.
1:19:30
I mean, there's this was no, I see
1:19:33
a pathetic soul.
1:19:36
Yes, pathetic.
1:19:36
But I see it differently from you.
1:19:38
I see it as someone who is lonely
1:19:40
because she probably gave up on men as
1:19:42
well, you know, because, you know, Trump is
1:19:44
going to make men toxic again.
1:19:45
Well, she didn't have a shaved head.
1:19:46
So there's that.
1:19:47
That's beside the point.
1:19:50
And she's so lonely and sorrowed, perhaps depressed,
1:19:57
that she wants to she's crying out for
1:20:00
help.
1:20:00
And she she's probably going to go to
1:20:02
Thanksgiving.
1:20:03
She's just saying this to get likes on
1:20:04
TikTok and people say, you go, girl, you're
1:20:07
right.
1:20:07
You saw him.
1:20:08
You should stand up that it's all it
1:20:11
is complete ego is egotism and narcissism.
1:20:16
Why else are you doing this on on
1:20:18
video on TikTok?
1:20:20
I could have put together 30 of these
1:20:22
clips.
1:20:23
Yeah, of course, because it's a competition.
1:20:25
You want more like it's like dopamine.
1:20:27
You can do coke or you can post
1:20:30
on TikTok.
1:20:31
What's the difference?
1:20:32
It makes you feel good.
1:20:34
I think it's pathetic.
1:20:35
I mean, I'm not going to argue against
1:20:37
your interpretation, but it's it maybe it makes
1:20:41
you feel good.
1:20:41
It makes people have a it.
1:20:45
I don't know what it's supposed to.
1:20:47
It gives you negatives.
1:20:49
It's a negative performance.
1:20:51
This is not a good thing to do.
1:20:52
That's unhealthy.
1:20:54
It sells.
1:20:54
It sells unless you're not selling anything.
1:20:57
Let's go with the arrogant girl.
1:21:00
I am happily every man's worst nightmare.
1:21:04
Like, keep those cowboy hats and those little
1:21:06
boots away from me, baby boy.
1:21:08
I don't want to be a part of
1:21:09
it.
1:21:10
Like, I'm divorced.
1:21:11
I don't go to church.
1:21:13
I don't cook.
1:21:15
I'm a nurse who believes in vaccination and
1:21:18
modern medicine.
1:21:19
Like, you don't keep that yee haw away
1:21:24
from me again.
1:21:26
She craves.
1:21:27
She craves the cowboy.
1:21:29
She wants the cowboy, but she is so
1:21:31
stuck in her psychosis that she has to
1:21:34
say, just so you know, I don't want
1:21:36
you, cowboy.
1:21:37
Stay away from me, cowboy.
1:21:39
I believe in vaccines, cowboy.
1:21:40
Come on, cowboy.
1:21:42
No, stay away from me, cowboy.
1:21:44
These people need help, and they're reaching out,
1:21:48
and you are just excoriating them.
1:21:51
I'm divorced.
1:21:53
I can't cook.
1:21:54
I mean, come on, lady.
1:21:55
What a thing to brag about.
1:21:57
She's not bragging.
1:21:59
It's a cry for help.
1:22:00
The way she presented it, this is a
1:22:03
good looking woman, and she is bragging about
1:22:06
being divorced and she can't cook.
1:22:09
Because, you know, I'm worth it.
1:22:11
No, she's saying, I need help.
1:22:13
I need to learn how to cook.
1:22:16
She's never going to cook.
1:22:18
You can tell.
1:22:19
Okay, and then we have this one, which
1:22:21
is the last one of this group, because
1:22:23
I played one last show.
1:22:24
Oh, gosh.
1:22:25
And this is a promotion for Wicked.
1:22:29
With Wicked.com, everybody.
1:22:31
Don't go there.
1:22:33
This is a video for all you MAGA
1:22:35
supporters out there.
1:22:36
Today is the Wicked premiere, and I just
1:22:39
want to provide you with a gentle reminder
1:22:40
that this is not for you.
1:22:42
The entire movie is about a girl who's
1:22:45
marginalized based on the color of her skin
1:22:47
and fights for her individuality.
1:22:49
If you go to see this movie and
1:22:51
I see you rooting for anyone but the
1:22:53
wizard, I swear to God.
1:22:55
She got paid for that.
1:22:57
She got paid.
1:22:57
She got paid for that.
1:22:58
That's a native ad.
1:22:59
She got paid for that.
1:23:00
Oh, that's good.
1:23:01
Easy, easy money.
1:23:02
She got paid for that one.
1:23:03
You know, we were talking about what Zoomers
1:23:07
are doing, and I think it was the
1:23:10
dating clip that you had about.
1:23:12
Yeah, that's the one I played last show.
1:23:13
Yeah, that if you go on as a
1:23:16
dude, then you get maybe.
1:23:17
You can play it again.
1:23:18
It's short.
1:23:20
Because it's a good clip.
1:23:23
Dating.
1:23:23
What was it?
1:23:24
Yeah.
1:23:25
Dating app story.
1:23:26
It's not short.
1:23:28
Okay.
1:23:28
Some of my guy friends gave me permission
1:23:31
to make a hinge account for him because
1:23:34
I was telling him how easy dating is
1:23:37
with dating apps, and he was telling me
1:23:39
that it's incredibly difficult.
1:23:41
And I was like, Pete, you must be
1:23:42
doing something wrong.
1:23:44
And he gave me permission to create an
1:23:46
account for him and just run the account.
1:23:49
I've been a virtual boy for three days,
1:23:51
and I've never felt this bad about myself.
1:23:54
I feel like a freaking loser trying to
1:23:57
get these girls to like me, and I'm
1:23:59
starting to hate women because I'm like when
1:24:02
I say I mean Pete, because that's the
1:24:04
account I'm using.
1:24:05
Pete's about a six, but I'm so desperate.
1:24:08
I'm liking the twos and the threes, and
1:24:09
even they won't like me back.
1:24:11
Pete, which is a six.
1:24:13
So what level of delusion has entered women's
1:24:16
head?
1:24:17
Heads.
1:24:18
What is going on?
1:24:19
It is so difficult dating as a boy.
1:24:22
I hate it.
1:24:23
I'm on day three of being a boy,
1:24:24
and I hate women, and I'm more depressed
1:24:27
than ever.
1:24:28
All right.
1:24:28
So I've gotten some feedback on this particular
1:24:30
clip in the conversation we had.
1:24:31
The first one is go outside to date.
1:24:37
Do not try to go to you know
1:24:39
what?
1:24:40
I think most people probably meet their future
1:24:43
mate at work.
1:24:44
So go to the office.
1:24:46
You only have to go twice a week.
1:24:47
Go to the office.
1:24:48
You might meet somebody you like.
1:24:50
Go to some social club, or go to
1:24:53
a bar, or go to church, or get
1:24:56
outside to meet people.
1:24:58
This is not the way to meet people.
1:25:00
Museums.
1:25:01
What is happening on these dating apps is
1:25:03
trans maxing, because my obvious conclusion turns out
1:25:08
to be not off base that this is
1:25:12
where a lot of young men, I'm talking
1:25:15
17 to 23, who are indoors, not going
1:25:20
outside to date, sitting indoors.
1:25:22
They're not doing video games.
1:25:23
They can't get it.
1:25:24
They're a six.
1:25:25
They can't get a two to swipe right
1:25:27
on them.
1:25:28
And then you know what?
1:25:29
I want to have people need affection, compassion.
1:25:33
Like, what if I dress up as a
1:25:34
girl?
1:25:35
And boom, boom, you're celebrated.
1:25:38
You're a TikTok star.
1:25:39
You get likes.
1:25:40
This is the most convoluted theory, but it's
1:25:42
something I'm not going to argue with too
1:25:44
strongly.
1:25:45
But yeah, you might be right here.
1:25:47
This is a pretty indicting of the culture,
1:25:51
if what you're saying is even remotely true.
1:25:54
And remember, we talked about the hypnoporn or
1:25:57
hypnotrans, where these boys get into watching certain
1:26:02
type of porn where they whisper in your
1:26:04
ear, you're a girl, you know, that kind
1:26:06
of stuff.
1:26:08
And the flashing, you got the flashing screens.
1:26:12
I am doing this as a service to
1:26:14
parents of young men.
1:26:16
Kick him out of the house.
1:26:17
Kick him out of the house.
1:26:18
Right.
1:26:19
Give him a motorcycle to tinker with anything.
1:26:22
And then this, we were talking about chat
1:26:23
roulette.
1:26:25
We were talking about chat roulette.
1:26:27
Maybe we should reiterate chat roulette.
1:26:31
Chat roulette.
1:26:32
You hooked up your little Logitech ball webcam
1:26:34
and you went on chat roulette and it
1:26:37
would switch screens and you could stop at
1:26:40
a certain point.
1:26:41
It would switch screens and there'd be a
1:26:42
person.
1:26:43
And every fifth screen was some fat, naked
1:26:46
dude jerking off.
1:26:48
So I got a note from Michael.
1:26:51
He says, I'm a Zoomer and I love
1:26:53
our Zoomers.
1:26:54
19 years old listening to the show.
1:26:56
I'd never heard of.
1:26:57
By the way, Zoomers who listen to this
1:26:59
show are sharp.
1:27:00
They're going to run the country.
1:27:02
They are the future leaders of our country.
1:27:05
They have good observational skills.
1:27:07
That's the key.
1:27:08
A lot of them are quite conservative, want
1:27:10
children.
1:27:12
It's encouraging.
1:27:13
I'm a Zoomer.
1:27:14
19.
1:27:15
I've never heard of chat roulette.
1:27:16
No kidding.
1:27:17
But I know the concept.
1:27:21
When I was.
1:27:21
There's other things out there nowadays.
1:27:23
I think that.
1:27:23
Well, here we go.
1:27:24
When I was in my early teens, an
1:27:26
app called Omegle.
1:27:28
Omegle.
1:27:29
Yep.
1:27:29
Or Megley.
1:27:30
I don't know how you pronounce it.
1:27:31
Yeah.
1:27:31
I've heard of it.
1:27:32
Of course you have made it.
1:27:34
I hadn't made its rounds through my generation
1:27:37
to generation.
1:27:38
You could chat with strangers and skip as
1:27:40
you desire.
1:27:41
When I first discovered it, I was oblivious
1:27:43
to the mat.
1:27:44
To the matter of men wanking their wings.
1:27:51
A term I had not heard, but will
1:27:53
remain with me for the rest of my
1:27:55
life.
1:27:56
As of 2022, I believe the app was
1:27:58
shut down.
1:27:59
But the idea yet lives on through another
1:28:01
app called Monkey.
1:28:02
Yeah.
1:28:03
It's nice to know that through the ages
1:28:05
and probably to come.
1:28:06
Everyone who uses these apps will be scarred
1:28:09
by the image of a fat and hairy
1:28:11
75 year old man.
1:28:13
Pressing his piece.
1:28:14
Stay sane.
1:28:15
All right, Michael, you are an awesome human
1:28:18
being.
1:28:18
Awesome human being.
1:28:19
And with that, I'd like to thank you
1:28:21
for your currency in the morning to you.
1:28:22
The man who put the sea in the
1:28:23
TDS.
1:28:24
Classic.
1:28:24
See a little my friend on the other
1:28:25
end.
1:28:25
The one and only Mr. John.
1:28:28
Where are we?
1:28:28
Where are we doing?
1:28:30
John.
1:28:33
I'm out of control.
1:28:35
I'm out of control.
1:28:37
There we go.
1:28:39
You done?
1:28:40
I'm done.
1:28:40
Well, I'm in the morning.
1:28:42
You miss me.
1:28:42
I'm in the morning.
1:28:43
Should see boosting raffia in the air.
1:28:44
Something's in the water.
1:28:45
Damage tonight's out there.
1:28:46
I'm trying to get behind.
1:28:47
We go in the morning to the trolls
1:28:48
in the troll room.
1:28:49
Here we go.
1:28:53
After all that, very disappointing.
1:28:57
2177 on the troll.
1:28:58
Even I know that's down.
1:29:01
That's down 300.
1:29:02
Yeah.
1:29:03
Well, this is, you know, people did Christmas.
1:29:05
Christmas week.
1:29:07
It's not Christmas week.
1:29:09
Thanksgiving week.
1:29:11
This year, it turns out that people have
1:29:13
all bailed out.
1:29:14
They started going on their Thanksgiving drive.
1:29:18
Cost of gas is down by about a
1:29:20
dollar here.
1:29:21
Oh, so it's only $9 a gallon now.
1:29:24
No, it's down to 460.
1:29:27
That's pretty low for California.
1:29:29
That's not bad.
1:29:30
That's not bad.
1:29:31
And so they're all driving off to some
1:29:33
place or other, and they've all left already.
1:29:35
And they're going for longer than normal vacations
1:29:38
as Thanksgiving holiday.
1:29:40
Because the economy is doing great.
1:29:42
I think that's accounting for our audience shrinkage
1:29:44
and donation shrinkage.
1:29:46
Well, they can still listen.
1:29:48
It's the Internet.
1:29:49
You can listen wherever you are.
1:29:50
For some reason, people just disconnect.
1:29:54
Well, when we do these shows, we work
1:29:56
on Thanksgiving and we, you know.
1:29:58
Tina's like, why don't you guys just take
1:30:00
Thanksgiving off?
1:30:01
Why don't you just take Christmas off?
1:30:04
Why?
1:30:05
Well, she was stating it, but because our
1:30:09
life is dictated by this show.
1:30:12
I don't think I've had an actual vacation
1:30:14
where I unplugged and didn't work, didn't schlep
1:30:17
my rig along in 17 years.
1:30:20
Yeah.
1:30:21
I'm just saying.
1:30:22
You're doing God's work.
1:30:24
Oh, okay.
1:30:28
Thank you.
1:30:29
Message received.
1:30:30
I will.
1:30:31
Yes, you are right.
1:30:32
You're right.
1:30:32
So when I say beware of the ways
1:30:35
of the world is polluting your soul, I
1:30:37
am doing God's work.
1:30:38
You're correct.
1:30:39
A buddy of mine gave me that, Mark.
1:30:43
So the trolls are in the troll room,
1:30:45
trollroom.io, and we have a stream.
1:30:50
Yay.
1:30:51
We love Void Zero.
1:30:52
You know, it could be the Void Zero
1:30:54
upgrade that's accounted for the low number.
1:30:56
Oh, a lot of people got kicked off
1:30:57
in the beginning.
1:30:58
My theory could be completely wrong.
1:31:01
It's got nothing to do with Thanksgiving at
1:31:02
all.
1:31:03
It could just be that the stream was
1:31:05
rocky in the beginning.
1:31:06
Yeah, that's true.
1:31:07
Yeah, people bail out.
1:31:08
A lot of people are just finicky.
1:31:10
Oh, it doesn't work.
1:31:11
I'm going to go do something else.
1:31:13
It's okay because you can listen.
1:31:15
It's a podcast.
1:31:16
You can listen whenever you want to.
1:31:17
But we like doing it live, which is,
1:31:20
you know, we don't just say, oh, I
1:31:22
got Thanksgiving dinner.
1:31:23
Let's do it really early in the morning
1:31:26
or let's do it later.
1:31:27
This is true.
1:31:29
We do not fluctuate.
1:31:31
We make it like it was.
1:31:33
Yeah, we routinize it.
1:31:35
You want to do that because for podcasters
1:31:37
out there, you should know that you want
1:31:39
to have things the same over and over.
1:31:41
It's like a newspaper.
1:31:42
They have a formula for the front page
1:31:44
and people expect something to be at a
1:31:47
spot on the page and they look to
1:31:49
it.
1:31:50
The Wall Street Journal was notorious for having
1:31:51
a fabulous front page formula where you'd always
1:31:54
go to the one column noting that you're
1:31:57
going to read something about something that's exactly
1:31:59
the same day after day.
1:32:00
This is also one of Adam's golden podcasting
1:32:03
rules.
1:32:04
Not necessarily for, it pertains to live show
1:32:06
as well.
1:32:08
And people who asked me for my hyperlocal
1:32:10
giblet about podcasting, which is hyperlocal.noagendanotes.com.
1:32:17
The golden rule, always, always, whether you do
1:32:20
it once a week, once a month, whatever,
1:32:23
twice a week, always release on the same
1:32:25
day at approximately the same time.
1:32:28
Because, and this is why we don't take
1:32:30
vacations.
1:32:32
If we skip a show or if the
1:32:34
show comes out much later, people, their lives
1:32:38
are disrupted.
1:32:39
They're waiting for it.
1:32:40
My goodness, when we change from 11 a
1:32:43
.m. to 1 p.m., people were hyperventilating.
1:32:48
It took about three months.
1:32:50
It took quite a while for people, you've
1:32:52
ruined my life.
1:32:54
My life is scheduled around this.
1:32:55
A lot of artists are complaining because I
1:32:57
can't do the art anymore.
1:32:59
Yeah, yeah.
1:33:01
And then they're very susceptible.
1:33:03
It's like, oh, I'll find something else.
1:33:05
And before you know it, they're listening to
1:33:06
Megyn Kelly.
1:33:08
So this is why you need to be
1:33:10
very consistent at your release schedule.
1:33:13
And this is why we are very consistent
1:33:14
with our live schedule as well.
1:33:16
People are scheduling their lives around it.
1:33:20
And yes, yes.
1:33:23
Well, they expect, I don't think, I disagree
1:33:26
with that assumption.
1:33:28
I don't think there's, I think they expect
1:33:31
something at the same time and they, and
1:33:33
it's a routine.
1:33:34
It's not that they're taking their whole lives
1:33:36
and scheduling it around.
1:33:37
That's why they have to be reminded there's
1:33:39
even a show.
1:33:41
Yes.
1:33:42
Rule number two, have a newsletter to remind
1:33:45
people that there's a show.
1:33:46
It's very critical, critical, critical, critical, critical.
1:33:53
So you can go to trollroom.io and
1:33:56
this No Agenda stream is great.
1:33:58
Void Zero has graciously kept his chat, his
1:34:03
IRC chat server open for all of these
1:34:06
years for everybody to enjoy.
1:34:08
And of course, they run the No Agenda
1:34:10
stream.
1:34:10
So lots of live shows there.
1:34:12
Talk about a great community.
1:34:13
It is No Agenda Nation.
1:34:15
It is the No Agenda stream.
1:34:16
You can also use a modern podcast app.
1:34:18
Highly recommended because there's no de-platforming.
1:34:22
If there's a podcast you like, it's not
1:34:24
just going to disappear one day because Silicon
1:34:26
Valley companies didn't like it.
1:34:28
Mainly Spotify, but Apple de-platforms as well.
1:34:32
Sometimes just singular episodes.
1:34:34
It's very, very annoying.
1:34:36
And the bonus, you can listen to the
1:34:38
live stream in these modern podcast apps and
1:34:40
you'll also get a notification when we send
1:34:42
out the badge signal and 90 seconds after
1:34:45
releasing it, these modern podcast apps know about
1:34:48
it.
1:34:48
All these big companies could do it, but
1:34:50
they don't because they don't care about you.
1:34:52
They don't care.
1:34:53
They just want you to use an iPhone.
1:34:55
That's all they care about.
1:34:56
So I'm singling out.
1:34:58
Well, that's what you, yeah, if you're selling
1:34:59
iPhones, that's what you want.
1:35:00
That's what you do.
1:35:01
Value for value is how we've been running
1:35:03
it.
1:35:03
We do this as a service.
1:35:06
You'll never see us with a plus bundle
1:35:09
or a Patreon or any nonsense like that.
1:35:12
We love doing this as a service to
1:35:15
humanity.
1:35:15
As John just said, we're doing God's work.
1:35:17
I don't know who John's working for.
1:35:20
I'm doing God's work.
1:35:22
Yeah, there you go.
1:35:23
Where's our money?
1:35:25
And we just want you to receive something
1:35:28
that's valuable.
1:35:29
And if you feel it was valuable, return
1:35:31
the favor to us to keep us going.
1:35:32
We need time, talent, and definitely need treasure
1:35:35
to pay the bills.
1:35:37
And we appreciate the time and talent that
1:35:39
our artists put into, regardless of how they
1:35:42
do it.
1:35:43
When you're thinking about it, you're trying to
1:35:44
do something.
1:35:45
It's appreciated.
1:35:46
And we always choose one piece of art
1:35:48
that we think is attention-getting.
1:35:51
It can be funny.
1:35:52
It can be, you know, we have no
1:35:55
set...
1:35:55
Do we have any set reasoning for why
1:35:57
we choose the art?
1:35:58
I mean, it's not about slickness.
1:36:00
It's not about...
1:36:02
It's the concept, I guess.
1:36:04
Well, there's two guys that decide.
1:36:08
Yeah.
1:36:09
That's you and me.
1:36:10
Yes.
1:36:10
And it's based on...
1:36:13
We each have our taste and it's based
1:36:15
on 100% consensus.
1:36:18
Yes.
1:36:18
We have veto power over everything.
1:36:20
Both of us.
1:36:21
And so it has to be agreed upon,
1:36:24
although some deals are made in the back
1:36:25
room every once in a while.
1:36:29
Yeah, there's...
1:36:30
Well, I'll give you this one if you
1:36:31
give me the next one.
1:36:33
No, that has happened on an occasion.
1:36:37
But it usually goes like this.
1:36:39
I don't like it, but okay, you can
1:36:41
have it.
1:36:42
That's what you will say.
1:36:43
You can have this.
1:36:44
Go ahead.
1:36:44
Go with that one.
1:36:45
But I'm marking it down.
1:36:47
I get the next one.
1:36:48
And then I always fight you on the
1:36:49
next one.
1:36:50
I'm kind of an Indian giver.
1:36:52
Yeah, you are, as a matter of fact.
1:36:55
Which is racist by itself.
1:36:57
Well, it looks like a Cherokee.
1:36:59
So you can upload to noagendaartgenerator.com.
1:37:03
This is where you can make an account.
1:37:05
This has been around for a long time.
1:37:07
We have leaderboards, all kinds of fun stuff.
1:37:09
It's very gamified.
1:37:11
And from time to time, we'll see an
1:37:13
actual Dutch master pop in.
1:37:15
They are going through transition themselves.
1:37:17
A little, you know, the disappointment is great
1:37:20
when someone pops in as a prompt jockey
1:37:22
and wins the art.
1:37:23
But again, it's the concept.
1:37:25
It's not how you make it.
1:37:27
It's the concept.
1:37:28
And when we looked at this piece from
1:37:30
Nico Seim, I don't even know if this
1:37:34
was AI.
1:37:36
It's very cartoonish.
1:37:38
It's like an explosion.
1:37:40
And this podcast includes the sound of noagenda.
1:37:43
It was, if anything, the lettering, Dvorak and
1:37:46
Curry, reminded me of Dr. Seuss.
1:37:50
Of the type, the font used for Dr.
1:37:52
Seuss books.
1:37:54
And it was, I don't know, it was
1:37:56
like, yeah, we'll use this one.
1:37:57
I don't think there was anything high concept
1:37:59
that really struck us.
1:38:01
Well, no, you did like one piece, which
1:38:03
was the clip, the cord piece, which I
1:38:07
really didn't.
1:38:08
Yeah, Mountain J.
1:38:09
I liked the clipping the MSN cord.
1:38:11
And you said it's the wrong cables.
1:38:13
No, it's not.
1:38:13
It's literally the cable.
1:38:16
Yeah.
1:38:17
It's a coaxial cable.
1:38:19
I thought the piece was a little simplistic
1:38:22
looking.
1:38:23
The cable's not hooked to anything.
1:38:26
So what's it cutting off?
1:38:31
Yeah, I guess.
1:38:32
Now, the other one I liked, because I
1:38:34
thought we both thought spin coat was cute.
1:38:36
But that was Tantaniel.
1:38:38
I don't know.
1:38:38
It didn't have.
1:38:40
It was getting there.
1:38:43
I kind of like the language popo by
1:38:45
Nessworks.
1:38:45
I don't know why.
1:38:46
It was like kind of cheesecakey.
1:38:49
You didn't like it.
1:38:50
No, you brought that up.
1:38:51
Which one was that?
1:38:52
I don't even see it.
1:38:52
It's the drawn police officer, police woman.
1:38:55
And she's a...
1:38:55
Oh, the police woman.
1:38:56
Yeah.
1:38:56
Language police.
1:38:57
And why didn't I like that?
1:39:00
I don't know.
1:39:01
It's just, I don't know.
1:39:02
I think it was the composition for something.
1:39:04
Something about the composition I didn't care for.
1:39:06
We both thought Becky was cute.
1:39:10
Becky is.
1:39:11
Yeah, we both think Becky was cute.
1:39:13
Your alter ego.
1:39:14
By the way, Dame Jen pinged me.
1:39:15
She says, thank you for defending me to
1:39:17
use a real voice on John's AI pimping
1:39:21
mission, which I guess you haven't started yet.
1:39:25
With Scaramanga.
1:39:26
Scaramanga is already sending out his resume.
1:39:30
Didn't you see that?
1:39:31
No, I did not see it.
1:39:33
Oh, he tagged you on X with some
1:39:36
animated gif of a Becky, believe me, Scaramanga.
1:39:40
Oh, yeah.
1:39:41
Probably stacked, as we used to say in
1:39:44
the old days.
1:39:45
Correct.
1:39:49
The Octocopter.
1:39:50
Oh, we talked about Atacams, which was Matt
1:39:53
Boisvert.
1:39:54
We liked it, but it was too small.
1:39:57
Yeah, you couldn't read anything.
1:39:58
But it was very funny because Atacams is
1:40:01
a medication box, like for actually suppositories.
1:40:06
And there's Atacams multi-symptom for use deep
1:40:09
inside Russia.
1:40:10
Relief from the discomfort of hegemony helps reduce
1:40:13
population.
1:40:15
He had all the right things going for
1:40:16
him.
1:40:17
Excellent, excellent copy.
1:40:18
Yes.
1:40:19
Had a lot going for it, but.
1:40:20
But it's like you can't even read it.
1:40:22
You had to blow it up.
1:40:24
You have to remember the small square you
1:40:26
see is the biggest you're ever going to
1:40:28
see it anywhere.
1:40:29
Yeah, and sometimes it's smaller.
1:40:31
Yeah, yeah.
1:40:33
I think that was it.
1:40:35
Was there anything else?
1:40:38
No, I think that was it.
1:40:40
Let me see.
1:40:41
We did have one person complain that we
1:40:43
talk about the art too much.
1:40:45
Oh, that's not what the email said.
1:40:49
The art segment's gotta go.
1:40:51
That's what it was.
1:40:52
It was a little different.
1:40:53
The art segment's gotta go.
1:40:55
Yeah, no, I mean, what value is it
1:40:58
if we don't critique the art, the artists
1:41:00
will never do anything anymore.
1:41:03
They want at least get a recognition.
1:41:05
This is a way of encouraging production.
1:41:09
Yeah.
1:41:10
This is like the, you know, that you
1:41:11
do this in a communist country.
1:41:13
You get in front and make everyone sit
1:41:14
at a meeting and then you tell them
1:41:17
off and tell them to get back to
1:41:18
work and do more.
1:41:20
Yes.
1:41:20
Do more work.
1:41:21
Yes.
1:41:22
Yeah, that's what you do.
1:41:23
You want the bonus clip before we go
1:41:24
to the, uh, before we go to the,
1:41:26
uh.
1:41:27
Yes, I would love the bonus clip.
1:41:28
What is it?
1:41:29
This is a bonus clip that shows you
1:41:30
what we do is, uh, takes talent.
1:41:33
I've always, uh, appreciate that.
1:41:35
You know, we, we do cold reads of
1:41:37
the, because of the nature of the spreadsheet
1:41:39
and how it comes in.
1:41:41
We don't have time to review all the,
1:41:43
all the texts.
1:41:44
No, we don't have time to rehearse.
1:41:45
And we don't want to.
1:41:46
No, no.
1:41:47
And so that's the key.
1:41:48
I think we do pretty good.
1:41:49
Pretty good.
1:41:50
Pretty good.
1:41:51
It's passable.
1:41:53
So, so this is the Cuomo kid over
1:41:57
there on the news nation, Chris Cuomo.
1:41:59
And he has a prompter fail.
1:42:02
Oh.
1:42:03
And this is probably, it was probably the
1:42:07
most hilarious prompter fail I've ever heard.
1:42:09
And he excoriates the prompter operator, which is
1:42:12
like, which is the dumbest thing you can
1:42:15
do.
1:42:15
Never do that.
1:42:16
That's, that is dumb.
1:42:18
Prompter people.
1:42:20
That's a crappy job.
1:42:22
This is a thankless job.
1:42:24
Prompter people talk to each other.
1:42:26
It's not a big group.
1:42:27
And they'll be like, yeah, that guy is
1:42:29
a dick.
1:42:30
And then they will purposely, purposely screw.
1:42:34
They have, if you are, if you are
1:42:36
tied to the teleprompter, which Chris Cuomo is,
1:42:39
they will mess you up.
1:42:40
So this person will always have it in
1:42:44
for Chris Cuomo.
1:42:45
I have to stop for a second.
1:42:47
My prompter operator is racing through this like
1:42:51
they don't want to hear anything that I'm
1:42:53
saying right now.
1:42:54
Do me a favor.
1:42:56
Move the prompter back up.
1:42:58
Pretend you're paying attention.
1:43:03
Keep rolling up.
1:43:04
No, no.
1:43:04
The other way.
1:43:05
The other way.
1:43:11
I know you just weren't paying attention, but
1:43:13
just keep going.
1:43:14
Keep going.
1:43:15
It's fine.
1:43:15
It's fine.
1:43:17
Okay.
1:43:24
Yes.
1:43:25
That's how far off you were.
1:43:27
Nevermind that.
1:43:28
Stop.
1:43:29
What a douchebag.
1:43:32
Wow.
1:43:33
That was a good one.
1:43:34
That guy is an absolute douche.
1:43:38
I can't believe he did that.
1:43:40
Yeah.
1:43:40
Humiliating them.
1:43:41
By the way, that's one of the lowest
1:43:43
paid jobs in the studio.
1:43:46
On the set.
1:43:47
On the set.
1:43:48
It's a low paid job because you're lucky
1:43:50
to have anyone that could even do it
1:43:51
at all, and that they will do it.
1:43:54
And then to excoriate them and to humiliate
1:43:56
them with that salary.
1:43:58
He owes that guy his daily salary.
1:44:02
What Cuomo makes a day.
1:44:04
Should give it to the prompter guy to
1:44:06
say, I'm sorry.
1:44:07
Cuomo should be happy because most local news
1:44:09
do their own prompter.
1:44:10
A controller in their left hand.
1:44:13
And they got to do their own prompter.
1:44:14
Have you ever seen that?
1:44:16
No, I've never noticed it.
1:44:17
Oh, it happens a lot.
1:44:18
Yeah.
1:44:19
I think he was just parroting his wife
1:44:21
from last night.
1:44:23
Keep going.
1:44:24
Keep going.
1:44:24
Little bit more.
1:44:26
Other direction.
1:44:30
All right.
1:44:31
Let's thank the treasure portion of Value for
1:44:34
Value that we received back.
1:44:36
We'd like to thank everybody who comes in
1:44:38
over $50 or more.
1:44:39
Not below $50 for reasons of anonymity.
1:44:41
So people can be assured we'll never mess
1:44:42
it up.
1:44:43
And we always love the sustaining donations, which
1:44:46
is any amount, any frequency.
1:44:47
You set it up.
1:44:48
Set it and forget it is what we
1:44:50
hope for.
1:44:51
A lot of people say we always get
1:44:52
nice notes.
1:44:53
Hey, it's like five bucks a month.
1:44:56
I got to stop for a while.
1:44:57
And I was like, no problem.
1:44:58
They're always really sorry.
1:45:00
It's okay.
1:45:01
It's okay.
1:45:01
Value for Value.
1:45:02
If you don't have any value, then it's
1:45:03
okay for now.
1:45:04
Now, when it comes to executive and associate
1:45:06
executive producers, just like Hollywood, we like to
1:45:09
reward people who come in with higher amounts
1:45:11
with a title, which is useless.
1:45:14
Except you can use it for credits, credits.
1:45:19
You can walk around and say, I'm an
1:45:20
executive producer.
1:45:22
And you can put it on imdb.com.
1:45:23
It might impress somebody.
1:45:25
When you're not trying to get a date
1:45:27
on a dating app, you can go to
1:45:30
a bar and say, I'm an executive producer.
1:45:32
If only I could find an unknown, it
1:45:34
would be perfect.
1:45:35
And you can show them your credits in
1:45:36
IMDb.
1:45:37
It's just the thought.
1:45:38
You make a business card, put it on
1:45:39
there.
1:45:39
There you go.
1:45:42
So $200 and above, you have an associate
1:45:45
executive producer.
1:45:46
Credit is for your lifetime.
1:45:48
It never goes away.
1:45:49
$300 and above is executive producer.
1:45:51
And in both cases, we read your note
1:45:53
and we kick it off with Anonymous, who
1:45:55
made sure to say, I want this to
1:45:56
be anonymous.
1:45:57
Comes in, boom, right off the bat, $1
1:45:59
,000.
1:46:00
And says, first things first, a de-douching
1:46:02
and a jobs karma.
1:46:03
Well, you've been de-douched.
1:46:08
And we will do the jobs karma in
1:46:10
a moment.
1:46:11
This donation is a year, perhaps more, overdue.
1:46:14
I was originally after a PhD in media
1:46:16
deconstruction, but at the time I was laid
1:46:18
off and the job market has been awful.
1:46:20
Oh, it's from the UK.
1:46:22
It took a while, but I found some
1:46:23
work.
1:46:23
We're happy.
1:46:24
And the time has come to donate to
1:46:26
the best podcast in the universe, become a
1:46:28
knight and take this opportunity to claim a
1:46:30
PhD in climate science studies.
1:46:33
Doctor of education.
1:46:35
A doctor of education in climate science studies.
1:46:39
Hopefully this gets you in time for that.
1:46:41
So it's actually better.
1:46:42
It's a doctor of education.
1:46:45
The majority of this donation amounts to the
1:46:47
amount I've spent on Spotify over the years.
1:46:50
It was fairly close to the instant night
1:46:52
level.
1:46:53
Yeah.
1:46:53
So I thought, what the hay?
1:46:55
So they actually spent a little bit less.
1:46:57
Well, you've been on Spotify for a long
1:46:58
time.
1:46:59
I'll be setting up a system.
1:47:00
So you gave your money to Taylor Swift.
1:47:02
Let me just tell you what happened there.
1:47:04
I will be setting up a sustaining slash
1:47:06
regular donations to match my Spotify subscription soon.
1:47:09
Very good idea.
1:47:10
I get much more value out of this
1:47:12
show and would like it to continue for
1:47:13
at least four more years.
1:47:16
Please knight me as Sir Bumpsy of the
1:47:18
tickly beard.
1:47:19
And we look forward to doing that.
1:47:21
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
1:47:24
Let's vote for jobs.
1:47:27
Karma.
1:47:27
Karma.
1:47:30
So this guy's donation came in as a
1:47:32
wire transfer to the bank through a system
1:47:36
I've never even heard of called Weiss.
1:47:39
Weiss?
1:47:40
How do you spell it?
1:47:41
W-I-S-S-E, yeah.
1:47:42
Weiss.
1:47:42
Oh, Weiss.
1:47:43
W-I-S-S-E.
1:47:44
Weiss.
1:47:45
W-I-S-S-E.
1:47:46
Weiss.
1:47:47
W-I-S-S-E.
1:47:47
Or Weiss.
1:47:48
Weiss, maybe.
1:47:49
Weiss, Weiss.
1:47:50
But I would doubt if it's called that.
1:47:52
Whatever it is.
1:47:53
But it just kind of shows up.
1:47:55
Okay.
1:47:55
And I mean, there's different kinds of systems
1:47:58
out there that do wire transfers, but this
1:47:59
one is new to me.
1:48:03
And I find it kind of interesting.
1:48:05
Yeah, okay.
1:48:06
I didn't get charged a fee for it
1:48:07
incoming.
1:48:09
Nice.
1:48:10
Well, he probably paid outgoing.
1:48:11
He must have paid outgoing.
1:48:13
Or I don't know.
1:48:14
I mean, all I know is that normally
1:48:15
when a wire transfer comes in, we have
1:48:17
to pay 20 bucks for it.
1:48:18
So it's always annoying when somebody sends us,
1:48:20
somebody recently sent us $37 in a wire
1:48:22
transfer.
1:48:23
And it was like 20 bucks fee to
1:48:25
take it.
1:48:27
It's like, don't send us $1 PayPal either.
1:48:30
I mean, we basically wind up owing money
1:48:32
to PayPal.
1:48:33
It doesn't work.
1:48:34
No.
1:48:35
But yeah, for people who want to know,
1:48:39
checks are at the, after a certain level
1:48:43
of checks are received, the maximum fee is
1:48:46
15 cents a check for whatever the check
1:48:49
is written for.
1:48:50
So, you know, it's 15 cents.
1:48:52
So void zero says, well, what if they
1:48:53
send $19?
1:48:54
Yeah.
1:48:55
We basically lose a buck.
1:48:57
If they sent 19 bucks in a wire
1:48:59
transfer, we would lose a dollar.
1:49:01
And we would actually, the bank would charge
1:49:03
the 20.
1:49:03
Yeah.
1:49:05
So you would lose a dollar.
1:49:07
So don't do that.
1:49:08
Anybody out there.
1:49:09
Why is it wise?
1:49:10
Why?
1:49:10
I mean, it costs now it costs $40
1:49:12
to send a wire.
1:49:14
Hold on.
1:49:14
White wise.com.
1:49:16
Connect your money worldwide.
1:49:17
We're looking at now pay and get paid
1:49:20
globally.
1:49:21
Move money where it matters from paying your
1:49:23
mortgage in euros to sending rupees overseas.
1:49:26
Fast, simple, and secure.
1:49:30
High-speed, low-fee transfers.
1:49:34
Have you ever heard of it?
1:49:35
No.
1:49:35
And it did come through.
1:49:37
So I guess they were hooked into it.
1:49:39
Now, I don't want to belabor this, but
1:49:41
people do need to know some things like
1:49:43
the 15 cent charge for a check, as
1:49:45
opposed to five, six, seven, eight, 10, sometimes
1:49:48
more for PayPal or Stripe.
1:49:52
And then there's other, these free systems that
1:49:55
go through Zelle being one of them that
1:49:57
our bank doesn't like.
1:49:59
And I can't accept a Zelle, but some
1:50:02
people have set it up on their end
1:50:05
to get a Zelle to go through.
1:50:07
I don't know how they do it and
1:50:08
they won't explain it.
1:50:09
So I, but this wise looks like something.
1:50:11
Check it out.
1:50:11
Check it out.
1:50:12
If you send wise, wise $333 and 69
1:50:18
cents, the charge is $96, 96 cent fee.
1:50:25
That's a good deal.
1:50:26
That's a very good deal if it is.
1:50:28
Okay, cool.
1:50:30
But again, let's see what, you know, I
1:50:32
was shocked.
1:50:33
Shocked.
1:50:33
Shocked.
1:50:34
I tell you.
1:50:34
Gambling.
1:50:35
Anonymous, another anonymous from Omaha, Nebraska is next
1:50:38
on the list.
1:50:38
He comes in with three, three, three 69.
1:50:42
And he says for John C, which is
1:50:47
misspelled, by the way, it's J O N
1:50:51
J O H N S I think is
1:50:54
S I E S I J A H
1:50:57
N S I E.
1:50:58
Okay.
1:50:59
That's, that's hot.
1:51:00
Yes.
1:51:01
If you're fishing and the bait ain't working,
1:51:03
switch it up.
1:51:04
The sad puppy is 87 years old and
1:51:07
dog years.
1:51:08
Time for a refresh.
1:51:10
I didn't put a sad puppy on this,
1:51:11
on the newsletter.
1:51:13
No, he did attach some, some alternatives.
1:51:16
I've used alternatives and none of them work
1:51:18
as good as the sad puppy.
1:51:20
There's one sad puppy and we're sticking with
1:51:22
them.
1:51:23
I'm in the railroad industry.
1:51:25
Where are the tracks you see?
1:51:27
I'd love to look it up in our
1:51:29
internet map and see what's moving out there.
1:51:32
It's internal map.
1:51:33
They've got a map.
1:51:35
Yes.
1:51:36
I'd like to look at it.
1:51:37
Okay.
1:51:37
Uh, lastly, I don't know what that, but
1:51:40
I don't get it.
1:51:41
He wants to know what rail tracks run
1:51:43
in front of your house.
1:51:45
Oh, uh, these are the old, I believe
1:51:48
these are the old Southern Pacific tracks that
1:51:50
have now owned by Burlington Northern.
1:51:53
And they're the ones that run parallel to
1:51:55
highway 80, um, from about Richmond to Emeryville.
1:52:04
Okay.
1:52:06
Lastly, spend drift sparkling water is the best.
1:52:11
Lime and lemon are top tier.
1:52:13
I'd ship you some, but I am too
1:52:15
lazy.
1:52:16
Thanks.
1:52:17
Thanks.
1:52:18
Thank you.
1:52:19
And then he has a second part of
1:52:20
his note for Adam.
1:52:22
As a professional producer, you're great at cleaning
1:52:25
up John C's nat pops, doorbells, and other
1:52:29
sounds.
1:52:30
Here is an opinion.
1:52:32
I bet you disagree with, but I want
1:52:34
to share it.
1:52:35
I think those imperfections make the show feel
1:52:38
authentic.
1:52:39
Like listeners are part of it.
1:52:41
Not consuming pure polished corporate crap or content
1:52:44
John's chair squeaks, uh, or dropping of a
1:52:48
pop can or opening of a pop can
1:52:51
is what it really is.
1:52:52
Or obnoxious borderline profane slurping.
1:52:56
It is sparkling water briefly pulls the veil
1:52:59
back and lets the audience inside or sucking
1:53:03
on a lozenge.
1:53:04
I need to say something, this about that.
1:53:07
I never clean anything up.
1:53:09
We have a noise gate, which is mainly
1:53:11
because of the amount of compression we use
1:53:13
that, and you don't use headphones.
1:53:15
So my voice will flow back from your
1:53:17
speakers into your mic.
1:53:19
Very annoying.
1:53:20
But I don't try, I do not clean
1:53:22
up.
1:53:22
In fact, something's been bumping for the last
1:53:25
two and a half, three weeks.
1:53:26
And I haven't even said anything about it.
1:53:27
I'm like, it's so wonderfully natural.
1:53:32
Exactly.
1:53:34
Case in point.
1:53:35
I don't clean anything up, especially not when
1:53:37
I, when something bumps, let me know.
1:53:39
Cause I'd like to know what it is.
1:53:40
Cause I haven't been doing much.
1:53:42
Okay.
1:53:42
It could be the table.
1:53:44
No, no, I'll let you know when it
1:53:45
happens.
1:53:46
Yeah.
1:53:46
Just one time.
1:53:47
I was like one time will be enough
1:53:49
to say it bumped.
1:53:51
Okay.
1:53:51
All right.
1:53:52
John C and Adam are taking their time
1:53:54
to record yet another holiday show.
1:53:56
That's right.
1:53:56
We're working on Thursday.
1:53:58
Pay your respects while you can.
1:54:01
For my earlier comment, John C lives near
1:54:03
the tracks.
1:54:05
He takes one bad step at the wrong
1:54:07
time and splat.
1:54:09
The show is over.
1:54:10
The average Turkey weighs 15 pounds.
1:54:12
If you're a douche bag or even if
1:54:15
you're not, why not break the ice with
1:54:17
a 1515 donation to break the ice.
1:54:21
Karma.
1:54:22
No requests.
1:54:22
Jingles.
1:54:23
WTC seven won't go away.
1:54:25
All right.
1:54:32
You've got karma.
1:54:34
All right.
1:54:35
Long note.
1:54:36
Thank you.
1:54:37
Yeah, it's a little long.
1:54:39
Doosan Miletic in Bartlett, Texas.
1:54:44
33333.
1:54:45
Oh yeah.
1:54:45
This is also not a shorty.
1:54:47
This came in as a typewritten note, which
1:54:50
is interesting.
1:54:51
Yeah.
1:54:52
It looks like it was actually literally typewritten.
1:54:54
Yes.
1:54:55
In the morning, please find a 33333 donation
1:54:58
check with the dollar sign after the 33333,
1:55:02
which is a new and I find it
1:55:05
disturbing.
1:55:07
The dollar sign belongs in front of the
1:55:09
number.
1:55:12
He's from Serbia, so it must have something
1:55:15
to do with.
1:55:16
All right.
1:55:16
No.
1:55:16
Okay.
1:55:17
Then the jury will disregard that remark.
1:55:21
From Serbia.
1:55:22
From Serbia.
1:55:24
Wait a minute.
1:55:25
He's from Bartlett, Texas.
1:55:29
Oh, he's studentical Serbian.
1:55:32
He's studying Serbia.
1:55:33
Anyway, the donation check is enough to take
1:55:37
me to the coveted no agenda sir status,
1:55:39
though that word means cheese in my native
1:55:41
language.
1:55:42
Sir means cheese.
1:55:45
May I be granted the title of Sir
1:55:47
Doosan, the autocrat of Bartlett and studentical, living
1:55:51
at two places at once.
1:55:52
More about me in the bio at Maletic
1:55:54
.org with a C.
1:55:56
As you can see there, I even have
1:55:58
the coat of arms for the title.
1:56:00
That happens when you can trace your direct
1:56:01
ancestors to the early 14th century.
1:56:04
Two brothers who built Serbian monastery of Visoki
1:56:07
Dekani for the king.
1:56:08
Hey, can you make us royalty?
1:56:10
Can you give us like a Duke ship
1:56:13
or something?
1:56:13
There you go.
1:56:14
Now you're talking.
1:56:15
I followed no agenda since day one, though
1:56:17
sporadically up to the covert era.
1:56:18
Covid and related moved to Texas at the
1:56:20
time with gracious encouragement by the podfather who
1:56:23
answered my email about moving to the Austin
1:56:25
area.
1:56:26
Resulted in more engagement and donations culminating now
1:56:29
with the title.
1:56:31
That email paid off.
1:56:33
It did.
1:56:35
I email almost everybody back.
1:56:37
Your sanity and humor were invaluable during those
1:56:39
times and are always mental health preservers.
1:56:42
Why now?
1:56:42
Well, I am timing it for my birthday,
1:56:44
which falls on Thanksgiving during every year when
1:56:46
Friday the 13th falls in October.
1:56:48
You can leave calculation to the troll room.
1:56:52
Amount is self-explanatory.
1:56:53
As for the nighting roundtable, I request Sarma
1:56:56
as opposed to some karma on the side,
1:56:58
which is similar to but much better than
1:57:00
Polish Golumpki, which is fermented cabbage leaves and
1:57:04
layered with smoked pork.
1:57:06
An amphora-aged Tamayanica would be great to
1:57:13
hear a little girl approval of it.
1:57:16
Be seeing you.
1:57:17
Doosan Miletic in Bartlett, Texas.
1:57:21
Studentica, Serbia.
1:57:23
So there's an actual place called Studentica.
1:57:25
That's interesting.
1:57:26
Yes.
1:57:26
Little girl approval for you, sir.
1:57:29
Thank you very much for your courage.
1:57:31
We appreciate it.
1:57:32
Interesting.
1:57:34
Joss, Joss, Joss, John Witten, W-H-I
1:57:39
-D-D-O-N in Kodiak, Alaska.
1:57:41
Kodiak.
1:57:42
He's in Kodiak.
1:57:44
263.22 is the first associate executive producer.
1:57:47
Has no note, nothing.
1:57:48
So we're going to double up karma and
1:57:50
you'll be good to go.
1:57:50
You've got karma.
1:57:54
Eric Levenberg in Los Angeles, California.
1:57:57
227.
1:57:58
With this donation, I'm now finally a knight
1:58:00
of the roundtable.
1:58:01
I would like to be known as Sir
1:58:03
Discohead.
1:58:05
Asking for jobs, karma, health, karma, and relationship
1:58:07
karma.
1:58:08
Thank you for being the best podcast in
1:58:10
the universe.
1:58:11
Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
1:58:14
Let's vote for jobs.
1:58:17
By the way, did you see, I mean,
1:58:21
I don't know.
1:58:22
It was kind of silly meeting with you.
1:58:23
I sent you a text message.
1:58:25
Saturday, did you receive my text message?
1:58:28
What did it say?
1:58:29
About our three knights who are in the
1:58:31
band Mercy Me.
1:58:32
We're playing the big venue there in Oakland.
1:58:35
Yeah, I saw that.
1:58:36
You didn't respond.
1:58:38
I know.
1:58:39
Oh, yeah.
1:58:41
Because they were like, please ask if John
1:58:43
will come to the gig.
1:58:44
We'll let him park with the tour buses.
1:58:46
We'll give them all access.
1:58:47
Then I didn't see it.
1:58:49
I would have noticed that.
1:58:50
Oh, man.
1:58:52
You sure you sent it to the right
1:58:53
phone number?
1:58:54
Yeah, the one that you always text me
1:58:57
with.
1:59:00
Anyway, they decided to go to Costco.
1:59:02
They thought they would have better luck of
1:59:04
finding you there than you coming to the
1:59:06
gig.
1:59:06
Well, that's too bad.
1:59:07
No, where was the gig?
1:59:08
What's the biggest venue in Oakland?
1:59:12
Coliseum.
1:59:12
Yeah, that's where they were playing.
1:59:13
They were at the Coliseum?
1:59:14
Yeah, they're huge.
1:59:16
Oh, I would have gone if they'd sent
1:59:18
me a note.
1:59:19
I sent you an email about it a
1:59:21
week ago.
1:59:22
Oh, well, you know, what am I supposed
1:59:24
to do?
1:59:24
Okay, well, if they ever come through again.
1:59:26
I do the best I can.
1:59:27
I get 500 emails a day.
1:59:28
I lose a few.
1:59:29
That's all right.
1:59:29
Anyway, they were sad, but they understood.
1:59:32
Well, next time they're around, I'll be glad
1:59:34
to show up.
1:59:35
I'll work the back room.
1:59:37
I'll pull some cables for them.
1:59:40
I'll be part of the roadie crew.
1:59:42
No, you would be standing with the wives
1:59:45
and girlfriends, man.
1:59:46
You get the side stage.
1:59:48
You get to hang out.
1:59:50
They take care of you.
1:59:52
As long as they have food.
1:59:53
You get full catering with the band.
1:59:56
Yeah.
1:59:56
Yeah.
1:59:57
Next time.
1:59:59
Hey, by the way, the Costco here finally
2:00:01
got that French wine Bordeaux quadruple box.
2:00:06
Finally.
2:00:06
Oh, it didn't have it?
2:00:07
I think we have our third crate by
2:00:10
now.
2:00:10
Eight bucks a bottle.
2:00:11
It's unbelievable.
2:00:12
What a tip.
2:00:13
What a tip of the day.
2:00:15
Yeah, I was waiting and waiting because when
2:00:17
I heard about it, I know there's always
2:00:18
good deals, but finally they showed up.
2:00:21
I think, what is going on?
2:00:22
What is this?
2:00:24
Very disappointing.
2:00:26
All right, onward.
2:00:29
Chet.
2:00:29
He's in Sayre.
2:00:30
Chet Perry.
2:00:31
He's in Sayre, Pennsylvania.
2:00:35

2:00:36
And he says, thank you, John and Adam,
2:00:39
for the amazing work you do.
2:00:41
First, I'd like to give a shout out
2:00:42
to Theodore and Farmer Taught as they are
2:00:45

2:00:48
I akin to kin.

Yeah, Binghamton.
2:01:06
Anyone interested can contact me at Truck Glass
2:01:09
at Proton.me. I hit my brother in
2:01:12
the mouth a while ago, but I have
2:01:14
the feeling he listens on the sly.
2:01:17
So if we could call our, uh, what?
2:01:20
Amon.
2:01:21
Amon out as a douchebag.
2:01:25
If he's listening, it would be appreciated.
2:01:27
No jingles, no karma, just love and light.
2:01:29
You got love and light, brother.

2:01:39
You guys kept me sane through COVID.
2:01:41
No agenda and 4chan are my dual sources
2:01:44
of information.
2:01:45
I think I'm good.
2:01:47
Thanks for the awesome tips.

11.11. Know nothing.
2:01:52
I will deduce myself.
2:01:54
Okay.
2:01:54
Know nothing.
2:01:55
Deduce yourself.
2:01:55
It's illegal in most states.

Brian winning in St. Louis, Missouri.
2:02:02
222.22. Small row of ducks.
2:02:06
I was hit in the mouth many years
2:02:08
ago, uh, by the boys from Canary Cry.
2:02:11
Yep.
2:02:12
Canary Cry Talk Radio.
2:02:13
Yep.
2:02:14
They're big value.
2:02:14
Earlier this evening, while listening to the show
2:02:17
with my 11 year old daughter, she asked
2:02:19
me during the donation segment, if I'd ever
2:02:21
produced a show.
2:02:22
Aye, what a good kid.
2:02:24
I told her no.
2:02:25
And she asked if I did not get
2:02:27
any value from the show.
2:02:28
Did you not get any value from the
2:02:30
show?
2:02:31
I could just.
2:02:32
The shame of douchebaggery overwhelmed me.
2:02:35
And I had to donate knowing the overwhelming
2:02:37
amount of value.
2:02:38
The show has provided me through the years.
2:02:41
Yeah.
2:02:41
Good for her.
2:02:43
Please play.
2:02:43
They're, they're starving in the shadows.
2:02:46
They're eating the dogs due to climate change.
2:02:50
And that's true.
2:02:51
True.
2:02:52
Also, please add me to the birthday list
2:02:54
as I complete my 42nd trip around the
2:02:56
sun on the 25th.
2:02:58
Thank you for your courage, Brian winning.
2:03:01
41st trip, not 42nd.
2:03:03
And the starving in the shadows is not
2:03:06
actually an ISO.
2:03:08
I mean, it was one of John's clips.
2:03:09
I could not find it quick enough because
2:03:11
I always scan to see what jingles people
2:03:13
need.
2:03:14
But we do have the rest.
2:03:15
They're eating the dogs due to climate change.
2:03:18
That's true.
2:03:19
There you go.
2:03:20
Oh, that's good.
2:03:22
Kind of good.
2:03:23
Eli, the coffee guy, Bensonville, Illinois, always keeping
2:03:26
us caffeinated to 11.24. The next show
2:03:28
will be on Thanksgiving.
2:03:30
I just want to wish all the no
2:03:32
agenda family a happy turkey day and say,
2:03:34
we are thankful for you two giving us
2:03:36
a show this Thursday.
2:03:38
It is that type of dedication and consistency
2:03:40
that makes this show the best podcast in
2:03:43
the universe.
2:03:44
I won't be listening live as I'll be
2:03:45
busy whipping up a turducken, but I will
2:03:48
enjoy turducken.
2:03:50
Sorry.
2:03:50
Yes, the turkey, duck and chicken all crammed
2:03:54
into each other.
2:03:55
But I will enjoy the show Friday morning
2:03:57
while I'm roasting coffee for our Black Friday

Matthew Martell from Brumal, Pennsylvania, $210.60. Hey,
2:04:54
John Adam, I'm a knight now.
2:04:56
Could we schedule a time for an ad
2:04:58
read review, please?
2:04:59
We can do it via Zoom if needed.
2:05:01
Linda Lou's is sounding a little off.
2:05:03
JCD constantly gets tripped up on mine, but
2:05:05
somehow gigawattcoffeeroasters reads smooth as silk.
2:05:10
I was punched in the mouth during the
2:05:12
late stages of the flu pandemic by a
2:05:14
good friend who needs to stop buying Dogecoin
2:05:16
and donate the cash to you instead.
2:05:19
Get with the program, Mr. Myers.
2:05:21
I would like to be dubbed Sir Martell,

Please have an mRNA vaccine and free tomahawk

steak and a Rodenbok Grand Cru at the
2:05:31
roundtable.
2:05:32
I am not familiar with the Rodenbok Grand
2:05:34
Cru.
2:05:36
This is a champagne, I presume.
2:05:39
I don't know.
2:05:40
What do you mean you don't know?
2:05:42
I don't know.
2:05:43
I'm not familiar with it either.
2:05:45
I don't know everything.
2:05:46
Well, you're the go-to guy on these
2:05:48
things.
2:05:48
I could have looked it up.
2:05:51
I should have looked it up.
2:05:52
I didn't look it up.
2:05:53
And he also says hold the veggies.
2:05:54
Two jingles, please.
2:05:55

2:06:26
I've been listening for two years now, so
2:06:29
I'm overdue with my donation.
2:06:31
Keep up the good work.
2:06:35
Well, that was easy.
2:06:36

2:06:41
We're nearing the end here.
2:06:43
Associate Executive Producers.
2:06:45
In the morning, please de-douche me.
2:06:49
You've been de-douched.
2:06:52
Thank you for all the media deconstruction that
2:06:54
you do and for keeping my amygdala in
2:06:56
check over the years.
2:06:58
Karma for all.
2:06:59
Cheers from Eric from The Chase.
2:07:02
You've got karma.
2:07:06
And our last donor, which is a super
2:07:08
long note, but it's just enough to get
2:07:10
I can get it done, which is the
2:07:12
Reiki Princess.
2:07:13
Ah, the Reiki Princess, yes.
2:07:15
Reiki, Reiki, Reiki Princess in Palm Beach, which
2:07:18
reminds me, today's the last day of the
2:07:20
sumo match.
2:07:22
Palm Beach, Florida, and I'll be watching it
2:07:24
at 3.30 West Coast time.
2:07:27
$200 comes in from Palm Beach.
2:07:29
Palm Beach.
2:07:31
Yeah, this is...
2:07:31
I, Tim, John, and Adam, we're proud...
2:07:33
They had the big glass bottom boat meetup.
2:07:35
Ah, oh, ah.
2:07:38
I, Tim, John, and Adam, we're proud to
2:07:40
present this donation to you both as a
2:07:42
token of our gratitude from Ocala, Florida.
2:07:45
Remember, our November to Remember Meetup should be
2:07:47
credited as a switcheroo to the future Sir
2:07:50
Grumpy Green Guy on behalf of the Florida
2:07:52
No Agenda producers.
2:07:54
So this donation will be Grumpy Green Guy?
2:07:57
Yep.
2:07:58
Sir Grumpy is ironically not grumpy at all.
2:08:01
He's like me.
2:08:02
He's an amazing husband and father, and we
2:08:04
love having him at the meetups.
2:08:06
We also like to wish him an early
2:08:08
happy birthday for December 14th.
2:08:10
He's on the list.
2:08:11
Don't forget to check out all of our
2:08:12
amazing upcoming meetups, December 15th in West Palm
2:08:15

2:08:18
Thank you again for Florida No Agenda producers
2:08:20
for helping make all these possible.
2:08:22
Connection is protection, and especially thank you to
2:08:25
you, John and Adam, Adam and John, for
2:08:27
all that you do.
2:08:28
We can't wait to continue to help support
2:08:31
the show and have Florida be the state
2:08:34
with the highest number of dames and knights
2:08:35
out there.
2:08:36
That's a good idea.
2:08:37
Please play You're Gonna Need a Bitcoin in
2:08:40
honor of Sir Grumpy and Jobs Karma for
2:08:42
several of our Florida producers, the Reiki Princess.
2:08:47
They're saying that all hell is gonna break
2:08:50
loose and you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
2:08:53
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
2:08:56
Let's vote for jobs.
2:08:58
You thought karma.
2:09:00
Thank you to these executive and associate executive
2:09:03
producers for episode 1715 of the best podcast
2:09:07
in the universe, our pre-Thanksgiving episode.
2:09:09
We appreciate it very much.
2:09:10
We love the time, the talent, and treasure.
2:09:12
It makes us feel valued.
2:09:14
That's it.
2:09:15
It makes us feel valued.
2:09:16
We appreciate that.
2:09:17
Thank you.
2:09:17
We'll be thanking more people $50 and above
2:09:19

2:09:20
Again, anybody can donate any amount.
2:09:23
We love the sustaining donations.
2:09:24
Go to noagendadonations.com.
2:09:27
That's noagendadonations.com and support the show.
2:09:30
Shut up, Slade.
2:09:31
No, I won't shut up.
2:09:32
And thank you for producing episode 1715 of
2:09:36
No Agenda.
2:09:37
Our formula is this.
2:09:39
We go out.
2:09:40
We hit people in the mouth.
2:09:49
Hot pockets.
2:09:52
Shut up, Slade.
2:09:56
I would like to play a...
2:10:00
Actually, I got...
2:10:02
I have two series of clips of being
2:10:04
misled by the media.
2:10:06
Oh, no.
2:10:07
Say it ain't so.
2:10:08
Yeah.
2:10:09
Okay.
2:10:11
Let's start with this one.
2:10:12
This is from Katie Turr Reports.
2:10:17
Katie Turr Reports.
2:10:18
Oh, Katie Turr.
2:10:20
She's on MSNBC.
2:10:22
I feel bad for Katie Turr.
2:10:23
Her dad became a woman.
2:10:28
Had a rough childhood, Katie Turr.
2:10:31
Maybe if she put a little effort into
2:10:32
her job, that would help.
2:10:35
Yeah.
2:10:36
I want to play these two clips.
2:10:38
She's just discussing...
2:10:40
She's a Trump hater.
2:10:44
And she's got these people on.
2:10:46
She always has a bunch of panelists.
2:10:47
And so you got to play this.
2:10:49
Katie Turr on electoral win.
2:10:52
But I wanted to go to Cornell on
2:10:53
this because part of why Donald Trump and
2:10:57
his allies say that they're entitled to picks
2:10:59
like this is that he's got a mandate.
2:11:02
I mean, I had Byron Donald's on just
2:11:03
the other day saying Donald Trump can have
2:11:05
whoever he wants because the voters gave him
2:11:07
that power.
2:11:08
And then he told me that it was
2:11:09
the biggest electoral win since Ronald Reagan.
2:11:12
Does he have that mandate?
2:11:14
Was it the biggest electoral win since Ronald
2:11:16
Reagan?
2:11:18
Okay.
2:11:20
What does it take to look it up?
2:11:23
I guess they don't have any more producers
2:11:26
over at MSNBC.
2:11:27
They're starting the firing early.
2:11:29
It takes two seconds to look it up.
2:11:31
Was it the biggest electoral win?
2:11:32
And what we're talking about here are electoral
2:11:34
votes or the electoral college votes.
2:11:38
It's the biggest since Ronald Reagan.
2:11:40
I'll give you some examples here.
2:11:43
And this is according to archive.gov because
2:11:45
the number seems to change here and there.
2:11:47
But it's still pretty much this.
2:11:49
Trump got 312 to Harris's 226.
2:11:53
That's the most since Reagan.
2:11:55
All right.
2:11:55
In between, we had Biden who won the
2:11:58
last time with 306 to 232.
2:12:02
So Trump beat that.
2:12:04
And then before that, it was Trump had
2:12:08
304 to Clinton's 227.
2:12:11
So this is the biggest since Reagan, which
2:12:13
is way up there.
2:12:14
I think it was 500 or something.
2:12:17
Well, that was easy to look up.
2:12:20
It was very easy to look up.
2:12:22
And it's all over the place.
2:12:23
It's on the Wikipage has all of it.
2:12:26
Hold on.
2:12:26
Yes.
2:12:27
Katie Turr wants to know if you can
2:12:29
produce for her.
2:12:30
Yeah.
2:12:31
So Katie Turr can't look it up or
2:12:34
she can't have somebody look it up or
2:12:35
she thinks it's some sort of a mystery.
2:12:37
So she asked this Cornell guy who's the
2:12:40
MSNBC political analyst.
2:12:42
That's what he's a black guy with white
2:12:44
hair.
2:12:44
Oh, that's Cornell.
2:12:45
Yeah.
2:12:45
Isn't that Cornell West?
2:12:47
No, no.
2:12:48
Cornell West doesn't have white hair.
2:12:50
This is the guy who hates everybody.
2:12:52
This is the guy who hates everybody and
2:12:53
takes credit for Obama winning their presidency in
2:12:56
2008.
2:12:57
All right.
2:12:58
Groovy.
2:12:58
Yes.
2:12:59
So this guy's now he's also dubbed as
2:13:01
the MSNBC political analyst.
2:13:05
That's the title he had.
2:13:06
I'm going to write a column on this.
2:13:07
This is so egregious.
2:13:10
An oasis.
2:13:12
So an oasis, an oasis.
2:13:14
And so she asks him because she can't
2:13:18
look it up and she's not I guess
2:13:21
the producers can't tell her what the numbers
2:13:23
are, but she's actually baffled.
2:13:25
Now, I believe that she's insincere.
2:13:28
I don't believe that she doesn't know this
2:13:30
or she's so lazy she can't.
2:13:32
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
2:13:34
Oh, was it the biggest since Reagan?
2:13:36
So she throws it to this guy and
2:13:38
here's what we get.
2:13:39
Does he does he have that mandate?
2:13:41
Was it the biggest electoral win since Ronald
2:13:43
Reagan?
2:13:44
Oh, well, I know we're in a reality
2:13:46
where facts apparently don't matter, but no, it
2:13:48
wasn't even it wasn't even close.
2:13:51
In fact, you know, if you look at
2:13:54
the raw vote, he still he got if
2:13:57
you look at the raw vote from 2020,
2:14:00
he's still off of what Biden got by
2:14:04
a long ways in 2020.
2:14:07
Did he even understand?
2:14:11
I don't think he understood the question.
2:14:13
Electoral votes.
2:14:15
Yeah, electoral vote.
2:14:17
And he the guy jumps right to popular
2:14:19
vote and says, no, and this is a
2:14:21
warped reality, he says at the beginning of
2:14:23
his little spiel.
2:14:24
He says raw vote.
2:14:26
He also says the raw vote, which I
2:14:28
find entertaining.
2:14:30
Yeah, the raw vote.
2:14:31
So so we have what I consider an
2:14:34
egregious example of the disingenuous productions at MSNBC
2:14:40
and Katie Turr should be ashamed of herself.
2:14:44
This is a disgusting display of stupidity.
2:14:47
Or a disingenuous insincerity.
2:14:50
One of the two.
2:14:51
I'll take the options again.
2:14:55
You're going to have to make me repeat
2:14:56
it.
2:14:57
I like disgusting display of stupidity.
2:15:00
I'll take that for 500.
2:15:02
Okay, so me.
2:15:04
So now the other example of being misled,
2:15:07
this is not done as disingenuous.
2:15:10
This is just like misleading, at least to
2:15:13
me when I but they did clear it
2:15:15
up.
2:15:16
So so they have a big deal going
2:15:19
on in England.
2:15:20
They've got they've gotten King Richard's voice down
2:15:23
because they found a skeleton of King Richard,
2:15:25
the third.
2:15:26
You know, there's something going on.
2:15:27
This is that there's Netflix documentaries.
2:15:30
This is movie about the lady who tried
2:15:32
to find something.
2:15:34
What is up with King Richard?
2:15:35
Everything's about King Richard.
2:15:36
Why was he?
2:15:37
Why is he so he's he's trending?
2:15:40
I have no idea.
2:15:41
Not your man.
2:15:42
He is trending.
2:15:42
He's trending.
2:15:43
King Richard is trending.
2:15:44
But let's play this route.
2:15:46
This is King Richard.
2:15:48
And I wrote down shit report on NPR.
2:15:52
Yes, correct.
2:15:53
The team in the UK says it's approximated
2:15:56
King Richard, the third's voice with 90%
2:15:59
accuracy.
2:16:00
And here's Catherine Fink has more.
2:16:02
It all started 12 years ago when Richard,
2:16:04
the third skeleton was found underneath a parking
2:16:07
lot in England.
2:16:08
It turns out a person's skeleton can tell
2:16:10
us a lot about what they sounded like.
2:16:12
We can predict the likely pitch range of
2:16:15
a voice from a skeleton.
2:16:17
Vocal coach Yvonne Morley Chisholm assembled a team
2:16:20
of doctors, linguists, actors and forensic psychologists to
2:16:24
recreate Richard, the third's voice.
2:16:26
It's a tall order for someone who's been
2:16:28
dead for over five centuries.
2:16:30
But they found clues everywhere.
2:16:32
His upbringing, his spelling, even his scoliosis.
2:16:36
And now a digital avatar is on display
2:16:39
in England where you can hear the King
2:16:41
in his own words and his own voice
2:16:44
or something close to it.
2:16:46
How come some of your clips are off
2:16:49
balance?
2:16:51
I don't know.
2:16:52
Okay.
2:16:52
There was something amiss.
2:16:53
All right.
2:16:54
So this is bull crap.
2:16:58
Well, here's what, so I listened to this
2:17:00
but I didn't listen carefully enough.
2:17:01
The second two clips will explain it.
2:17:03
But it sounds to me as the way
2:17:06
they're presenting it.
2:17:07
They dug up this guy's body who was
2:17:09
buried under a parking lot for some unknown
2:17:12
reason.
2:17:13
King Richard, the third.
2:17:15
And they took a look at his skeleton
2:17:17
and look at his vocal cords and they
2:17:19
could make, and I was under the impression
2:17:21
that some AI came into play and it
2:17:25
reproduces voice perfectly.
2:17:27
And now it's an exhibit at the museum.
2:17:30
And they, of course, they don't give an
2:17:30
example but they do later in the report
2:17:32
in a secondary report that came later.
2:17:35
And so then I find out I've been
2:17:37
completely misled.
2:17:40
Okay, here we go.
2:17:41
It's part two.
2:17:42
Eventually, the signs pointed to a specific region,
2:17:44
Northern England.
2:17:45
They discovered Richard the third likely had a
2:17:47
medieval Yorkshire accent.
2:17:49
A dialect that set him apart from the
2:17:51
typical upper-class tones of his successors.
2:17:53
The modern Yorkshire, the sun is shining.
2:17:57
He would say, the sun is sheening.
2:18:00
So what do you do when you have
2:18:02
all of these clues about a dead King's
2:18:04
voice and you want people to hear it?
2:18:05
You put out a casting call.
2:18:07
For 10 years, I was looking for a
2:18:09
man with a face with the right proportions
2:18:13
to the reconstruction of King Richard's face.
2:18:17
And it's amazing.
2:18:18
We only found him this year.
2:18:20
That actor studied up.
2:18:21
He learned everything about Richard the third's personality
2:18:23
and life experiences and geared up for an
2:18:26
unusual kind of performance because the audience would
2:18:29
not see his face but Richard the third's.
2:18:32
The clarity and charity of the sun's light
2:18:35
is so great that when it is poured
2:18:37
on the other heavenly bodies, the sun sheens
2:18:40
with no less light and splendor.
2:18:42
That's a digital avatar of Richard the third
2:18:45
reciting a real address from his reign as
2:18:47
King.
2:18:48
It's currently on display at York Theatre Royal
2:18:50
in England and the team behind it believes
2:18:52
the voice is 90% accurate.
2:18:55
They got Frank Caliendo to come and do
2:19:00
an imitation of some guy's voice.
2:19:01
They don't know the guy could have been
2:19:03
a stutterer for all we know.
2:19:04
This is bull crap.
2:19:06
Yeah, I think you may be right.
2:19:10
I think there may be a just a
2:19:12
final, a final, a final, a final, a
2:19:14
final clip, final clip.
2:19:16
Yeah, it's a short, I guess.
2:19:18
Morley Chisholm says the public response has been
2:19:20
overwhelming.
2:19:20
I was amazed when I walked into the
2:19:22
lobby area, people were crying.
2:19:25
They were weeping and saying, this is so
2:19:27
moving.
2:19:28
She says it's also been an opportunity for
2:19:29
the public and for herself to learn about
2:19:31
the real Richard the third rather than the
2:19:34
one depicted in the Shakespearean play.
2:19:36
Our vocal communication, we can tell a bunch
2:19:40
of things about them.
2:19:41
And I think it's been incredibly important to
2:19:44
allow this to reconsider Richard's words in his
2:19:49
pronunciation, driven by his personality, how he chose
2:19:54
to communicate.
2:19:56
As for what's next, Morley Chisholm and the
2:19:58
rest of her team have gotten a lot
2:20:00
of requests for more voices.
2:20:01
People are keen for Robert the Bruce.
2:20:03
They're keen for Mary, Queen of Scots, for
2:20:06
the poet Eats, Johann Sebastian Bach.
2:20:09
For now, Richard the third will live on
2:20:11
in York, where you'll be able to hear
2:20:12
him through his own words as best as
2:20:14
we can recreate them today.
2:20:17
What a crock.
2:20:18
NPR, man, what are they doing?
2:20:21
I mean, that's if someone came to me
2:20:23
with a podcast proposal, I'd be like, no,
2:20:25
no, we do actually, I did find, we
2:20:29
do actually have some audio of what they
2:20:32
think King Richard sounded like.
2:20:34
I happen to have that here.
2:20:35
OK, you've got to hear this one.
2:20:37
Today's deep dive is dot unique.
2:20:40
Sorry, the guy should have started.
2:20:43
Would have been better.
2:20:45
Well, that was a deep dive.
2:20:47
That was very enlightening.
2:20:48
Thank you.
2:20:49
The conclusion NPR is full of crap.
2:20:52
OK, we need to just discuss briefly, because
2:20:56
there's some funny soundbites.
2:20:58
This international criminal court warrant, which is out
2:21:00
for both Bibi Netanyahu and for his war
2:21:06
guy, his war minister.
2:21:08
Buddy, can I ask you a question before
2:21:09
we begin this?
2:21:10
Because I don't have any clips on it,
2:21:11
but I want to ask you a quick
2:21:12
question.
2:21:14
What's the difference between the ICC and the
2:21:18
ICJ?
2:21:20
The ICJ is not affiliated with the ICC.
2:21:24
I believe the ICJ is connected to the
2:21:28
human rights organization court something.
2:21:31
I don't think it's part of the ICC.
2:21:34
I could be wrong.
2:21:34
I don't think it is either, but there's
2:21:35
two of them.
2:21:36
There's the ICC and they're going out and
2:21:38
arresting people.
2:21:39
And there's the ICJ, the International Court of
2:21:41
Justice.
2:21:41
I think it's also in the Hague, if
2:21:43
I'm not mistaken.
2:21:44
It is.
2:21:44
Yeah, they're both in the Hague.
2:21:46
Yeah, they're both there right next to each
2:21:47
other competing.
2:21:48
What is the point of having these two
2:21:50
organizations like that?
2:21:51
It's a job.
2:21:52
You must know you're from Holland.
2:21:53
It's a jobs program for judges.
2:21:57
It's complete nonsense.
2:22:00
The United States does not recognize it.
2:22:02
And the reason why it becomes very obvious
2:22:04
in these clips from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
2:22:08
The Jewish state is under siege and we
2:22:10
live in an upside down world.
2:22:12
This is Lindsey Graham, Lindy Hop, Lady G.
2:22:14
Where the prime minister of Israel and the
2:22:17
defense minister of Israel are being prosecuted by
2:22:19
a court in Belgium.
2:22:20
Oh, Lindsey.
2:22:22
Oh, so close, Lindsey.
2:22:24
How can this guy who's out there?
2:22:28
Who, by the way, would probably be subject
2:22:31
to a warrant from the ICC himself for
2:22:33
his work in Ukraine.
2:22:35
Eventually, how can he think that it's in
2:22:38
Belgium?
2:22:40
We just discussed it, Lindsey.
2:22:42
It's in the Hague, not in Belgium.
2:22:44
The prime minister of Israel and the defense
2:22:46
minister of Israel are being prosecuted by a
2:22:48
court in Belgium.
2:22:49
An all out rejection from Republican Senator Lindsey
2:22:52
Graham.
2:22:53
He denounced the arrest warrant issued earlier this
2:22:56
week for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his
2:22:58
former defense minister.
2:23:00
It also included a Hamas military leader.
2:23:04
Graham doubled down on his defense by calling
2:23:06
out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for this comment
2:23:09
made soon after the ICC's announcement.
2:23:12
We stand up for international law and we
2:23:15
will abide by all the regulations and rulings
2:23:19
of the international courts.
2:23:22
President Joe Biden has called the warrant outrageous,
2:23:25
adding fuel to that.
2:23:27
Graham fired off this warning for Canada.
2:23:29
We should crush your economy because we're next.
2:23:33
You're going to have to pick the rogue
2:23:35
ICC versus America.
2:23:38
The U.S. is not a citizen.
2:23:40
Yes, yes, I can.
2:23:42
I just just as a just as a
2:23:45
point, ICC Belgium is the International Chamber of
2:23:49
Commerce.
2:23:50
He did a quick Wikipedia search like, oh,
2:23:53
OK, it's in Belgium.
2:23:54
What a tool.
2:23:56
What a tool.
2:23:59
Canada.
2:24:00
We should crush your economy because we're next.
2:24:03
You're going to have to pick the rogue
2:24:06
ICC versus America.
2:24:08
The U.S. is not a signatory of
2:24:10
the ICC, but a spokesperson for the international
2:24:13
body, Fadi al-Abdallah, is calling on the
2:24:16
124 countries that are, which include Canada, to
2:24:20
enforce the arrest warrant.
2:24:22
The ICC alleges that Israel committed war crimes
2:24:25
in Gaza by using starvation and systematic attacks
2:24:29
on civilians as part of its war against
2:24:32
Hamas.
2:24:33
The next steps after an arrest warrant is
2:24:35
issued is seeking the cooperation of the states.
2:24:39
Now, didn't the ICC also put out a
2:24:42
warrant for Bush and Cheney and others?
2:24:46
And I think they were talking about it,
2:24:48
but they never they never put the hammer
2:24:50
down on it.
2:24:52
I think it was just discussed.
2:24:55
And I think Kissinger, I guess they never
2:24:59
I think it was just discussed.
2:25:00
They were threatening.
2:25:01
They were shaking their fists, but they never
2:25:03
had the guts to do it.
2:25:05
Pussies.
2:25:07
Let me just see.
2:25:08
Let me see Cheney.
2:25:11
No, I don't have anything.
2:25:13
All right, here's the second clip.
2:25:14
Hungary's prime minister, Viktor Orban, is trying to
2:25:17
get in the way of that by being
2:25:18
the first country in the EU, all of
2:25:22
whom are members of the court to defy
2:25:24
the ICC's orders.
2:25:26
Orban is inviting Netanyahu to his country and
2:25:29
vowing to protect him.
2:25:31
He will be held into trap.
2:25:32
It's a trap.
2:25:36
Orban accused the ICC of interfering in an
2:25:40
ongoing political conflict for political aims.
2:25:43
This is wrong in itself, he said, adding
2:25:45
that it completely discredits international law.
2:25:49
Italy, Germany, France and Ireland are among the
2:25:52
European countries that have signaled it will abide
2:25:55
by the order.
2:25:57
The EU's top diplomat, Joseph Borrell, said member
2:26:00
nations don't have a choice.
2:26:02
The members, the states who signed their own
2:26:06
convention are obliged to implement the decision of
2:26:11
the court.
2:26:12
It's not optional.
2:26:14
The warrant puts the ICC in uncharted territory.
2:26:17
It's the first time the court has called
2:26:19
for the arrest of a sitting head of
2:26:21
government.
2:26:21
That's a major Western ally.
2:26:23
No, it is the first time.
2:26:25
Hey, it's not an option, people.
2:26:27
It is not an option.
2:26:30
I want to do a little bit of
2:26:31
COP29 as it winds up.
2:26:32
I see you have three clips as well,
2:26:34
so I will play two, you will play
2:26:35
three and I'll wrap it up.
2:26:37
And we'll be done with it because it's
2:26:40
because we got to be done with it.
2:26:42
This is another group of people who are
2:26:44
flipping out over Trump because they know he's
2:26:47
going to withdraw again, withdraw again from the
2:26:51
Paris accord and pull the plug.
2:26:53
And as we all know, he is a
2:26:54
staunch climate change denier.
2:26:56
In Azerbaijan, a chaotic and confusing COP29 has
2:27:01
come to a close.
2:27:02
The UN climate summit went way into overtime
2:27:05
and at one point appeared close to failure.
2:27:08
At the heart of the dispute is money.
2:27:10
Specifically, how much rich countries, including ours...
2:27:13
That's all the meeting was about.
2:27:15
Oh, it's only about money, yes.
2:27:16
And by the way, if they say development
2:27:18
bank, that means IMF World Bank, which is
2:27:21
our money.
2:27:22
...to developing countries to help them adapt to
2:27:25
climate change.
2:27:25
Susan, it was a real heated day of
2:27:27
negotiations, but a final deal has finally been
2:27:30
reached.
2:27:31
Can you tell us how it all went
2:27:32
down?
2:27:33
Indeed, it was an undeniable, chaotic and confusing
2:27:36
day.
2:27:37
It's now early hours of the morning, Baku
2:27:39
time.
2:27:40
But yes, the last draft was adopted by
2:27:43
thousands of delegates near Comatose, I might say,
2:27:46
in a huge meeting room.
2:27:48
That doesn't mean they're happy.
2:27:50
This was a compromise pushed through rather than
2:27:53
let these talks end in failure.
2:27:55
It does up the amount that developed countries
2:27:58
must direct to developing countries suffering the worst
2:28:00
effects of climate change.
2:28:02
It's now at at least $300 billion by
2:28:05
2035, but it is far less than many
2:28:09
of the developing countries advocated for.
2:28:12
What were some of the biggest sticking points
2:28:14
with that deal?
2:28:14
Money.
2:28:15
Well, the amount, as I've mentioned, what kind
2:28:17
of funding, grants or loans, public or private,
2:28:20
there will be disappointment.
2:28:22
The money is not more publicly funded.
2:28:24
Also, who pays in?
2:28:25
Rich developed countries are obligated, but many argued
2:28:28
China and other big emitting countries should also.
2:28:32
But in the U.N. framework, for example,
2:28:34
China is a developing country and its contributions
2:28:36
will remain voluntary.
2:28:39
So I don't have to participate now.
2:28:42
And I love what you're not going to
2:28:44
what you're not going to give it to
2:28:46
us.
2:28:46
You're going to only lend it to us.
2:28:49
Yeah, that's what we do with you.
2:28:51
And already, Susan, we are seeing some countries
2:28:53
like Cuba and India speaking out against this
2:28:56
final deal.
2:28:57
How far is this from what they were
2:28:59
asking?
2:29:00
Well, they wanted much more money over a
2:29:03
shorter period of time.
2:29:05
But I'm telling you, you can really hear
2:29:07
the resentment and opposition on the floor of
2:29:09
the plenary, as it's called.
2:29:11
You can hear the resentment from podcasters, lady.
2:29:14
Nigeria called it an insult.
2:29:16
India called it a mirage and said they
2:29:18
do not accept this accord.
2:29:21
The spirit of these talks, I might add,
2:29:23
is damaged as well.
2:29:25
The president pushed through this proposal too late,
2:29:29
too little, just to close the climate conference
2:29:33
with something even though it's seen as flawed.
2:29:35
And Canada also said on the plenary floor
2:29:38
that it's extremely disappointed in the accord overall
2:29:41
and wanted some stronger text.
2:29:44
The secretary general of the United Nations put
2:29:46
out a statement today saying the commitment must
2:29:49
become cash and ensure that this money does
2:29:52
get quickly to the developing countries.
2:29:55
You know, just hours ago, it did seem
2:29:58
like this conference would fall apart.
2:30:00
But there is an agreement.
2:30:02
It will and can be built on.
2:30:05
Although I think COP29, many would agree, hosted
2:30:08
by Azerbaijan, has been a difficult, fractious set
2:30:11
of climate talks.
2:30:12
And this may threaten the solidarity of the
2:30:15
whole UN process, how this transpired here.
2:30:18
And perhaps we'll see widen a gap between
2:30:23
rich and poor countries.
2:30:24
So Trump doesn't even have to do anything.
2:30:26
It's going to fall apart by itself.
2:30:29
And I mean, because you have, I mean,
2:30:31
I had more clips, but you have you
2:30:33
have three.
2:30:33
So I want to have you play those.
2:30:35
I have a lot of the delegates from
2:30:37
all these countries going, this is not fair.
2:30:40
They made us sit here for hours.
2:30:42
We're tired.
2:30:42
We're wiped out.
2:30:44
You know, they ground these people.
2:30:47
They're in Baku.
2:30:48
The babies had to sit down and listen
2:30:50
to a bunch of speakers.
2:30:52
The Baku is like Casablanca, man.
2:30:55
It's beautiful.
2:30:56
It's a oil heaven.
2:30:59
It's hookers and blow everywhere.
2:31:01
That's why they were strung out.
2:31:04
All right, your clips, if you think they're
2:31:06
still useful.
2:31:07
Yeah, I think they're OK.
2:31:08
This is basically the same thing.
2:31:10
I mean, this is done from this NPR,
2:31:12
COP29 BS.
2:31:14
The world has reached a new agreement on
2:31:16
how to help pay for the impacts of
2:31:17
climate change.
2:31:19
Annual negotiations just wrapped up in Azerbaijan, and
2:31:22
they went well into overtime with some countries
2:31:24
walking out in protest.
2:31:26
Joining me now with more on what they
2:31:28
decided is Lauren Sommer from NPR's Climate Desk.
2:31:31
Hey there.
2:31:31
Hi, Scott.
2:31:32
So two weeks of negotiations.
2:31:33
What have been the big sticking point?
2:31:35
So this summit, it's been all about the
2:31:37
money.
2:31:38
The debate has been over the dollar amount
2:31:40
that richer countries will send to developing countries
2:31:42
that have contributed the least to climate change.
2:31:45
God bless President Trump, man.
2:31:47
Stop these people from stealing from us for
2:31:50
nonsense.
2:31:51
They're not going to do anything for climate
2:31:53
change.
2:31:54
It's all going to these delegates.
2:31:54
No, this is a money laundering racket.
2:31:57
Yes.
2:31:57
And that's where things like reducing their carbon
2:31:59
emissions.
2:31:59
Money laundering, right.
2:32:00
This is to get, hold on, 300 billion
2:32:03
dollars.
2:32:03
You put it in the system.
2:32:05
Who knows where it goes?
2:32:07
Is that you can't do money laundering.
2:32:09
It's going to research.
2:32:10
A lot of it just goes into a
2:32:11
bunch of people's pockets.
2:32:12
It doesn't accomplish anything.
2:32:15
And it's 300 billion dollars.
2:32:18
It's an entire net worth of Elon Musk
2:32:21
goes into the pockets of a bunch of
2:32:23
criminals.
2:32:24
Yes, yes.
2:32:25
Least to climate change.
2:32:26
And that's where things like reducing their carbon
2:32:28
emissions through renewable energy projects or preparing for
2:32:31
the impacts of climate related disasters like more
2:32:33
intense storms.
2:32:34
This is known as climate finance and developing
2:32:37
countries are pushing for a lot more than
2:32:39
richer.
2:32:39
We need to push for some more podcast
2:32:41
finance.
2:32:42
That's what I'm for.
2:32:43
This climate finance is not doing it for
2:32:45
me.
2:32:45
And by the way, lady, at NPR, it's
2:32:47
finance.
2:32:48
And developing countries are pushing for a lot
2:32:50
more than richer countries were willing to deliver.
2:32:52
What was the main argument they were making
2:32:54
as they tried to get that point home?
2:32:57
Yeah.
2:32:57
So lower income countries are seeing some of
2:32:59
the worst impacts from climate change, you know,
2:33:01
flooding and hurricanes and droughts that are getting
2:33:04
worse.
2:33:05
They've done little to cause that because their
2:33:07
carbon emissions are low.
2:33:08
It's really the wealthier countries that are responsible
2:33:11
for most of the emissions.
2:33:12
So developing countries say they're owed for all
2:33:15
those damages.
2:33:16
Here's how Sierra Leone's climate minister, Jiwo Abdullahi,
2:33:19
described it at the talks.
2:33:20
These numbers are not just abstract.
2:33:23
They affect our people on a daily basis.
2:33:30
OK.
2:33:31
Yeah, they they're affecting everybody.
2:33:34
Oh, my God.
2:33:34
What are we going to do?
2:33:35
These these small countries are which are run
2:33:37
by tyrants, usually are just trying to get
2:33:41
some free money for their pockets.
2:33:42
This is this is so obvious to me.
2:33:46
Initially, you know, it was to drive the
2:33:48
new economy and people were there, you know,
2:33:51
to get some some dough for, you know,
2:33:53
windmills and solar farms and all that stuff.
2:33:59
And they've even given up.
2:34:01
This is I saw the but it's research
2:34:03
and development is still the top.
2:34:05
More studies to prove this thing.
2:34:09
Yeah.
2:34:10
Clip two.
2:34:10
The floods, the droughts affect the lives of
2:34:14
our people due to climate change.
2:34:17
The droughts affect the lives of our people.
2:34:21
Our people are paying for this climate crisis
2:34:24
already with their lives and their livelihoods.
2:34:27
Blood.
2:34:27
Abdullahi was actually one of the ministers who
2:34:29
walked out on negotiations for a bit today,
2:34:31
along with other African countries and small island
2:34:34
states, because it was over the dollar amount
2:34:36
the richer countries were offering.
2:34:37
OK, so what was the final agreement that
2:34:39
was just agreed to?
2:34:40
Yeah, so the agreement is for developed countries
2:34:43
like the US and the European Union to
2:34:45
hit 300 billion dollars per year in climate
2:34:47
finance by 2035.
2:34:49
And then there's a larger goal to ramp
2:34:51
that up to one point three trillion dollars
2:34:53
per year.
2:34:54
The US wanted to see countries like China
2:34:57
be official contributors to that as well.
2:35:00
But China wanted to keep its contributions voluntary.
2:35:03
And that 300 billion is lower than many
2:35:06
developing countries wanted to see.
2:35:08
OK, but you're talking about the US there,
2:35:10
and that's, of course, the Biden administration.
2:35:12
President-elect Trump takes office in January.
2:35:15
So given that, what are the chances the
2:35:16
US follows through on that pledge for climate
2:35:18
funding?
2:35:19
Yeah, it's a really big question.
2:35:21
It's unclear because if you remember, when Trump
2:35:23
was president, he pulled the US out of
2:35:25
the major climate agreement.
2:35:27
That's the Paris agreement.
2:35:28
He has not wanted the US to be
2:35:30
part of this in the past.
2:35:31
This year, the Biden administration says it supplied
2:35:34
11 billion dollars.
2:35:36
But, you know, even if Trump undoes the
2:35:38
US commitment, some funding could continue, like from
2:35:41
the World Bank, which the US contributes to.
2:35:44
The US election happened right before these talks
2:35:46
began.
2:35:47
I'm curious, how much did that cast a
2:35:49
shadow over negotiations, especially given that the world
2:35:52
is already behind on climate change?
2:35:55
Yeah, I think there's no doubt it had
2:35:57
a major impact.
2:35:59
You know, at the talks, the Biden administration
2:36:00
was trying to make clear that the shift
2:36:02
to renewable energy in the US is already
2:36:04
underway and it's going to keep going.
2:36:06
You know, we the current Devora Consulting Group
2:36:09
needs to help these people, particularly NPR, or
2:36:12
someone needs to do something.
2:36:13
They need a new angle.
2:36:16
You know, just this, oh, extreme weather events.
2:36:18
Nobody cares.
2:36:19
Nobody cares.
2:36:21
And it's just, oh, another flood.
2:36:22
They've overdone it.
2:36:24
They've overshot the mark.
2:36:26
They need something else to get people motivated
2:36:32
to spend this money.
2:36:33
I just don't understand why they, I mean,
2:36:36
they're just, they're just verbal diarrhea.
2:36:38
The same thing over and over again.
2:36:40
Ad nauseum.
2:36:42
What's making it worse is these lesser developed
2:36:44
countries, third world, are demanding free money.
2:36:49
Yeah, those.
2:36:50
And they're doing it in a very obnoxious
2:36:52
way.
2:36:53
Well, it's because there was a lot of
2:36:54
promises.
2:36:56
You see, everyone got promised, like, hey, man,
2:36:58
let me build my mansion over here.
2:37:01
You know, to escape and we'll take care.
2:37:04
We'll make you whole.
2:37:06
That's COP 29.
2:37:07
Don't worry.
2:37:08
I can just see it.
2:37:09
I can just see it.
2:37:10
You're right.
2:37:11
This is so corrupt.
2:37:14
Who's paying?
2:37:15
Who's paying for these cops?
2:37:17
This is no small conference.
2:37:20
No, it costs money to overhead.
2:37:22
The conference itself has got to be millions.
2:37:26
All right.
2:37:26
Last clip.
2:37:27
Thank Lord.
2:37:28
Here's what U.S. climate envoy John Podesta
2:37:30
said to other countries.
2:37:32
Here's your money laundering guy.
2:37:34
This is not the end of our fight
2:37:36
for a cleaner, safer planet.
2:37:38
Facts are still facts.
2:37:41
Science is still science.
2:37:42
The fight is bigger than one election, one
2:37:46
political cycle in one country.
2:37:49
The U.S. has been cutting its carbon
2:37:51
emissions, in part because of the Biden administration's
2:37:53
flagship climate law.
2:37:55
That's the Inflation Reduction Act.
2:37:57
And, you know, there are parts that are
2:37:58
popular, right?
2:37:59
Consumer tax credits for electric cars and heat
2:38:02
pumps.
2:38:03
Many of the clean energy manufacturing projects, you
2:38:06
know, big, big plants have gone into Republican
2:38:08
districts.
2:38:09
So there is a chance that some of
2:38:11
these policies will survive the new administration.
2:38:15
But, you know, the big question is still
2:38:17
to come, right?
2:38:17
Countries need to cut their emissions.
2:38:19
We're behind on doing that, right?
2:38:21
The Earth is going to warm up more
2:38:23
than the goal for the Paris Agreement.
2:38:25
All countries are supposed to announce new pledges
2:38:27
to cut their emissions by February.
2:38:29
And that's to keep the planet from that
2:38:31
even worse impact level of climate change.
2:38:34
The Biden administration says it still plans to
2:38:36
release its new pledge, even as it's heading
2:38:38
out the door.
2:38:39
And that's going to be a huge focus
2:38:41
of climate negotiations next year, which is really
2:38:43
cutting emissions.
2:38:45
Cutting emissions.
2:38:50
You know, here's another problem with this whole
2:38:54
gambit.
2:38:54
I don't understand why they don't figure this
2:38:56
out.
2:38:57
Nobody sees the benefit.
2:39:00
You know, it's like, you know, the Tesla
2:39:02
for a while is like I get a
2:39:03
kind of a cool car.
2:39:04
Now everyone sees, well, there's no resale value.
2:39:07
You know, I got to put a generator
2:39:08
in the trunk to charge it if I
2:39:10
run out.
2:39:11
You know, I'm going to have a jerry
2:39:12
can of gas.
2:39:14
I'm instead of a nice HVAC system, I
2:39:16
got a heat pump, you know.
2:39:21
Which doesn't work in really cold weather.
2:39:24
No, my toilet doesn't flush well.
2:39:25
My shower is limited.
2:39:27
You know, it's it's not improving our life.
2:39:30
And what you've been hearing this since the
2:39:33
70s, that we're all going to die.
2:39:36
The 60s.
2:39:37
We're all going to die.
2:39:37
It's you got to deliver.
2:39:40
You got to deliver on something.
2:39:41
Either you make like really something happen, which
2:39:45
is it's just not.
2:39:46
I don't know.
2:39:47
They got to.
2:39:48
It's just it's a grift.
2:39:50
It is a grift.
2:39:50
And it's so obvious and everybody sees it.
2:39:52
And we're sick of it.
2:39:53
Not everybody sees it.
2:39:54
Most people don't see it.
2:39:57
True.
2:39:59
People who see it don't care.
2:40:02
Even the greenies, they don't really care.
2:40:04
Now, what I did is I went to
2:40:06
the IMF to see what they really had
2:40:08
to say, because the IMF, these these are
2:40:10
the these are the real bad guys.
2:40:12
These are the guys who get the loan.
2:40:15
You know, it's not a grant.
2:40:17
No, we're going to lend you the money.
2:40:18
There's $300 billion a year.
2:40:20
And then we got you by the nuts.
2:40:23
And then we can you will do whatever
2:40:25
we tell you to do.
2:40:26
This is what happened to Greece, just to
2:40:28
pull it into Western perspective.
2:40:31
This has been going on throughout the undeveloped
2:40:34
world for ages.
2:40:37
So they and I don't know, but these
2:40:39
people, they just get money from all these
2:40:41
countries and they go, oh, make some charts
2:40:43
and it's really important.
2:40:45
And, you know, so these are the money
2:40:47
people.
2:40:48
And so they're out there trying to get
2:40:49
the money.
2:40:50
They have this new young guy.
2:40:51
He looks like a Gen Z or might
2:40:53
be a might be a very young millennial,
2:40:55
but probably Gen Z.
2:40:57
And he they released a video about this.
2:41:00
And surprise, surprise.
2:41:03
Not only do we have a model for
2:41:04
climate change, but they have a model for
2:41:06
the money.
2:41:06
Well, there are many ways to allocate emissions
2:41:08
cuts across countries.
2:41:09
But here we provide an illustration.
2:41:12
This uses a model that we built with
2:41:14
the World Bank called the Climate Policy Assessment
2:41:16
Tool.
2:41:16
And it's based on a methodology that we
2:41:18
developed here at the IMF.
2:41:20
In our illustrative approach, all countries reduce emissions
2:41:23
in proportion to their income.
2:41:26
Most countries would need to raise their 2030
2:41:28
emissions targets, but developed countries would continue to
2:41:31
cut emissions faster than developing countries.
2:41:34
So where are we currently?
2:41:35
Well, in this analysis, we find very few
2:41:38
major economies of 2030 targets that are aligned
2:41:41
with two degrees.
2:41:42
And currently no major economy is aligned with
2:41:44
1.5. That said, high income countries have
2:41:47
collectively become much more ambitious since 2015, while
2:41:51
upper middle income countries as a whole are
2:41:53
further behind.
2:41:54
We think countries could consider forming climate clubs
2:41:57
to complement the Paris Agreement.
2:41:59
Climate clubs, John.
2:42:00
Climate clubs.
2:42:02
Oh, this is interesting.
2:42:04
Smaller groups of major emitting countries could agree
2:42:06
to cut emissions through specific policies like minimum
2:42:09
carbon prices or what we call an international
2:42:12
carbon price floor.
2:42:13
On climate finance, developed countries are currently mobilizing
2:42:16
about $100 billion per year to developing countries
2:42:19
and will soon set a new target for
2:42:21
2025 and beyond.
2:42:23
We think this new target should be based
2:42:25
on the needs of developing countries and in
2:42:27
the collaborative spirit of the Paris Agreement could
2:42:29
be framed as a joint target between developed
2:42:31
and developing countries.
2:42:33
You know, kid, I should push you over
2:42:35
my knee and spank you.
2:42:37
So in this second short clip, he explains
2:42:40
what is really needed to reduce carbon because
2:42:43
we're out of control.
2:42:44
It's not working.
2:42:45
It's not slowing down.
2:42:47
We're never going to get to the magic
2:42:48
number of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
2:42:51
We really we've got to tighten.
2:42:53
We've got to tighten it up.
2:42:54
We've got to we've got to really do
2:42:56
things to people because when you hear the
2:42:58
comparison he makes, which is a little dubious
2:43:01
and frightening to a degree.
2:43:05
To get to the 7% reduction in
2:43:08
carbon pollution, emissions, whatever, you'll think we're never
2:43:14
going to do this unless you go really.
2:43:19
Authoritarian on us.
2:43:21
So how are we doing?
2:43:24
By the way, shoot the production manager.
2:43:27
How are we doing?
2:43:28
Cue piano.
2:43:29
So how are we doing?
2:43:34
Well, unfortunately, we are not going nearly fast
2:43:37
enough.
2:43:38
Since 2020, emissions have continued to rise.
2:43:41
So now to limit global warming to 1
2:43:43
.5 degrees, we need to cut emissions by
2:43:46
50% below 2019 levels in the next
2:43:49
five years.
2:43:50
But globally, current country targets would only achieve
2:43:53
about a 12% cut in emissions.
2:43:56
So this means we need to go four
2:43:57
times faster in the remainder of this decade.
2:44:00
We find that if 2030 targets remain as
2:44:03
they are, then the world would face a
2:44:05
damaging emissions cliff edge.
2:44:07
This would require drastic cuts in emissions equivalent
2:44:10
to about 7% each and every year
2:44:12
out to 2040.
2:44:14
Now, to put that into perspective, the unprecedented
2:44:16
coronavirus pandemic lockdowns cut global carbon emissions by
2:44:20
just 6% in 2020.
2:44:23
Maintaining an even higher rate of emissions cutting
2:44:25
year after year could be politically, economically, and
2:44:28
technically infeasible.
2:44:30
So knowing these people are insane, he's saying
2:44:34
we need to cut by 7% a
2:44:36
year.
2:44:37
To put that into perspective, the unprecedented COVID
2:44:41
lockdowns only resulted in 6% reduction.
2:44:46
I mean, is a logical conclusion that they're
2:44:50
thinking about climate lockdowns?
2:44:53
Well, you've been saying that for a while.
2:44:56
That's the conclusion I have to draw from
2:44:58
this.
2:45:00
Yeah, well, they're not going to get away
2:45:01
with it.
2:45:02
No, they're not.
2:45:03
I have a tech update which regards Google.
2:45:09
Well, you probably know the browser because even
2:45:12
if you're one of those people that doesn't
2:45:15
switch from the default browser when you get
2:45:17
a new computer, you would have heard of
2:45:19
it.
2:45:19
Three and a half billion people around the
2:45:21
world use it.
2:45:22
That's more than two thirds of internet users.
2:45:25
Now, this actually gloms on to our previous
2:45:28
conversation about the search function, them having search.
2:45:31
But this guy puts some truth into this
2:45:33
report, which I thought was worth discussing for
2:45:35
a second.
2:45:36
You don't use Chrome or Safari.
2:45:38
You probably use a browser built on Chromium.
2:45:41
That's an open source code base based on
2:45:44
Chrome, which Google releases to the public.
2:45:46
Even Edge, the third most popular browser made
2:45:49
by Microsoft, is a Chromium browser.
2:45:52
The DOJ has asked the federal judge Amit
2:45:54
Mehta to order Google to sell Chrome, which
2:45:57
is a crucial pillar of its business, even
2:46:00
though it's free of charge.
2:46:01
Why?
2:46:02
Because it's how billions of people make their
2:46:04
way onto Google search.
2:46:06
Yes, the real monopoly the US justice system
2:46:09
has ruled lies in Google's 90% market
2:46:12
domination of online search.
2:46:15
And search means data, which means money.
2:46:17
So if you type into Chrome's search bar
2:46:20
to search for something, Google collects all sorts
2:46:23
of data on you and uses this to
2:46:25
sell advertising.
2:46:27
In fact, the only place this is a
2:46:28
little bit different is here in the EU,
2:46:30
where since an antitrust ruling six years ago,
2:46:33
Chrome has offered a choice of search engines
2:46:35
when you install it.
2:46:37
This has supposedly been refined since the Digital
2:46:40
Markets Act came into effect a couple of
2:46:42
years ago.
2:46:43
But let's be frank, it's not made a
2:46:44
jot of difference to Google's dominance of search.
2:46:47
Its market share has actually increased over the
2:46:49
last few years.
2:46:50
It turns out it's not that easy to
2:46:53
convince people to use another search engine when
2:46:56
the phrase Google it has become a verb.
2:46:59
You know, I think that Chrome and of
2:47:03
course, the Edge browser is built on Chrome.
2:47:06
I think these are just spy devices.
2:47:09
It goes beyond search.
2:47:11
It goes...
2:47:11
Yeah, we have a, one of our producers
2:47:13
sent us a note pretty much, and he's
2:47:17
kind of a spooky producer.
2:47:18
And he sent us a note saying the
2:47:20
whole thing's about spying.
2:47:22
Yeah, it is.
2:47:23
It's just spying.
2:47:24
You know, the Google is also, it's Chrome
2:47:27
OS, of course, would also be a problem,
2:47:30
which they've rolled out all over the schools
2:47:33
and everything to spy on your kids.
2:47:35
Yeah.
2:47:36
And they want to put Chrome OS in
2:47:38
the Android, which would be very interesting if
2:47:40
they have to separate from Chrome.
2:47:41
And then what does that mean?
2:47:43
Does someone else then run Chrome?
2:47:45
Some other...
2:47:46
CIA.
2:47:46
All right.
2:47:48
I want to wrap it up today with
2:47:50
a little bit of health news.
2:47:51
Make America healthy again.
2:47:54
RFKJ, he's going to do it if we
2:47:56
can protect him all the way through the
2:47:58
process.
2:47:59
If he can get in there.
2:48:00
Now we're starting to hear negative concepts that
2:48:04
they're, well, you know, of course, that's part
2:48:06
of the TDS.
2:48:08
Yes.
2:48:09
New TDS.
2:48:10
Yeah, of course.
2:48:13
Here is CNN discrediting him.
2:48:15
Fruit loops.
2:48:16
The Wall Street Journal reporting that the company
2:48:18
that makes the colorful cereal has, quote, been
2:48:20
under fire for months over its use of
2:48:22
artificial food dyes.
2:48:23
Now one of the company's highest profile critics,
2:48:25
Robert F.
2:48:26
Kennedy Jr., has been tapped to become the
2:48:28
country's top health official and has vowed to
2:48:30
target artificial dyes in cereal that he says
2:48:33
contribute to widespread health problems, particularly in children.
2:48:37
Kennedy calling out the manufacturer earlier this month.
2:48:41
Their entire departments, like the nutrition departments at
2:48:44
FDA, that are, that have to go, that
2:48:49
are not doing their job.
2:48:52
They're not protecting our kids.
2:48:53
Why do we have fruit loops in this
2:48:55
country that have 18 or 19 ingredients?
2:48:57
And you go to Canada and it's got
2:48:59
two or three.
2:49:01
All right, our panel is back.
2:49:02
Anyone a Fruit Loops fan?
2:49:04
Did you grow up on Fruit Loops?
2:49:05
Of course.
2:49:06
Yeah.
2:49:06
Kellogg's cereal.
2:49:07
Of course, big advertiser, Kellogg's cereal.
2:49:09
I'm not going to discredit them.
2:49:11
Sugar Smacks.
2:49:12
I mean, look, Kennedy's not wrong about this.
2:49:15
This journal story, I don't know if we
2:49:16
have it produced.
2:49:17
But like when you look at the difference
2:49:18
between American Fruit Loops and, right there, right
2:49:21
here, the Blue Bowl, and then the Canadian
2:49:23
ones are right here.
2:49:25
I mean, like it's obvious, right, that we
2:49:27
put a lot more, I mean, RKJr probably
2:49:30
calls it crap in the cereal.
2:49:32
What is it?
2:49:32
A lot more, a lot more.
2:49:35
Don't say chemicals.
2:49:37
The company says, well, no, that's not the
2:49:39
case.
2:49:39
But I mean, Dana, like maybe there's a
2:49:41
point?
2:49:41
I don't know that we've ever had a
2:49:43
nominee for a chemist.
2:49:44
It's it's this polarizing and not in a
2:49:46
hot way, right?
2:49:47
I mean, like either Robert Kennedy is a
2:49:49
Fruit Loop or he's going to fix Fruit
2:49:51
Loops.
2:49:53
Oh, yeah, of course it is.
2:49:59
Thank you for pointing that out.
2:50:00
Professional.
2:50:02
Is Marty moonlighting again?
2:50:05
Marty would come up with that guy for
2:50:08
sure.
2:50:09
But the big pharma is very concerned about
2:50:12
RFKJ and he's all right.
2:50:16
I mean, and this is a trend.
2:50:17
This is another thing that Gen Z is
2:50:19
the Gen Z.
2:50:19
I know so many people who have not
2:50:21
had their children vaccinated at all.
2:50:25
From birth, because, you know, within three hours,
2:50:28
they want to give your child a hepatitis
2:50:30
B vaccine.
2:50:32
Yeah.
2:50:32
Why?
2:50:34
They're going to have sex, which is a
2:50:36
sexually transmitted disease.
2:50:38
I thought when that just an anecdote.
2:50:42
So when I first when hepatitis B, this
2:50:44
is years ago, this is 30 years ago
2:50:46
when the hepatitis B vaccine first came out,
2:50:49
I had this doctor, kind of an anti
2:50:52
-vaxxer.
2:50:53
He's the one who got me on vitamin
2:50:54
D instead of getting me off of the
2:50:57
off of flu shots.
2:51:01
And so I said, should I get a
2:51:06
hepatitis B vaccine?
2:51:07
I just said this because it just came
2:51:09
out.
2:51:09
They were promoting it.
2:51:10
He says, why are you going to work
2:51:11
with blood?
2:51:14
And you went, what?
2:51:16
And then it was that was obviously it
2:51:18
was like as far as he was concerned,
2:51:21
there is no reason in the world that
2:51:23
any normal person should ever get a hepatitis
2:51:25
B vaccine.
2:51:27
So I think this is also a carefully
2:51:30
orchestrated piece on CBS.
2:51:32
Dr. John LaPook is here.
2:51:35
LaPook.
2:51:36
And instead of saying people don't want vaccines,
2:51:40
like I don't want my kid to have
2:51:41
vaccines.
2:51:42
I know which ones they have questions.
2:51:44
They want honest answers.
2:51:48
They bring in the hesitancy.
2:51:52
Vaccine hesitancy.
2:51:54
And I think they even have a mother
2:51:55
who says, well, I'm vaccine hesitant.
2:51:57
Bull crap.
2:51:58
You're a shill.
2:51:59
Nobody says that.
2:52:00
Of course not.
2:52:01
Nobody says it.
2:52:02
Robert Kennedy Jr. has been an outspoken critic
2:52:05
of vaccines, despite overwhelming evidence that vaccines are
2:52:09
safe and effective at preventing disease.
2:52:12
Now, if confirmed as Secretary of Health and
2:52:14
Human Services, public health experts say Kennedy could
2:52:17
influence vaccine policy.
2:52:19
We get more now from CBS's chief medical
2:52:21
correspondent, Dr. John LaPook.
2:52:24
Lauren Maresca says she's had concerns over vaccinating
2:52:28
her children.
2:52:29
Anything I give my child, I always question.
2:52:31
I get a little anxious.
2:52:32
When 11-year-old Gio was an infant,
2:52:34
he got his childhood vaccines right on schedule.
2:52:37
Always had a reaction.
2:52:39
Every single time, hives, rash.
2:52:41
I started to get hesitancy in saying, all
2:52:43
right, can we space this?
2:52:45
I started to get hesitancy, John.
2:52:48
Is that- I started to get hesitancy.
2:52:51
This is scripted.
2:52:54
Every single time, hives, rash.
2:52:55
I started to get hesitancy in saying, all
2:52:58
right, can we space these out?
2:53:00
And the doctor kind of made me feel
2:53:02
you're being dramatic, but okay.
2:53:04
After scouring the internet for information, the New
2:53:07
York mom hit pause on additional shots for
2:53:09
Gio and three-year-old Julena.
2:53:12
Then the family's pediatrician issued an ultimatum.
2:53:15
You have to take all the vaccines or
2:53:17
you're out of the practice.
2:53:18
Yeah, here we go, baby.
2:53:20
Before you continue with this clip, it turns
2:53:24
out, and there's a lot of discussion on
2:53:25
this, maybe you're going into it, that these
2:53:28
pediatricians are vaccine factories.
2:53:32
That's all they do.
2:53:33
They get bonuses for having everyone vaccinated.
2:53:37
Careful, careful.
2:53:39
Don't say it that way because you'll get
2:53:40
a million.
2:53:41
No, I'll get a million emails.
2:53:45
They don't get bonuses, but it is up
2:53:47
to 40% of their income.
2:53:49
It's just the business.
2:53:51
It's not like they get extra for pushing
2:53:53
extra.
2:53:54
Their whole business model is built on it.
2:53:58
I don't think they get extra.
2:54:00
In fact, I'm quite sure they don't get
2:54:01
extra.
2:54:02
Okay, I'm putting it incorrectly.
2:54:06
Okay.
2:54:06
Yeah, the whole thing's a scam.
2:54:07
It's just from the get-go.
2:54:08
It's a scam, yes.
2:54:09
It's a grift.
2:54:10
It's a grift.
2:54:11
Here we go.
2:54:11
Part two.
2:54:12
Public health officials stress vaccines are safe and
2:54:15
effective and the benefits far outweigh the risks.
2:54:18
But a recent survey found at least 12
2:54:20
% of children have a vaccine-hesitant parent.
2:54:24
I think it's important to kind of understand
2:54:26
the thought process of why a patient is
2:54:29
refusing a vaccination.
2:54:30
New York City pediatrician, Dr. Ayala Wegman says,
2:54:33
in recent years, she's been navigating increased vaccine
2:54:36
skepticism.
2:54:37
You hear some parents say, why do we
2:54:39
have to have so many vaccines so soon?
2:54:41
The reason why we present infants with immunizations
2:54:44
early on in their life is because their
2:54:47
immune system is really susceptible to not only
2:54:50
viral but bacterial infections.
2:54:52
45 states permit non-medical exemptions and kindergarten
2:54:56
vaccination rates have fallen to 93%, below the
2:54:59
95% target for herd immunity.
2:55:02
That increases risk for the vulnerable, like those
2:55:05
who are immunocompromised or too young to be
2:55:08
vaccinated.
2:55:09
Now, this is very interesting because I got
2:55:11
a lot of people emailing me, as usual,
2:55:14
saying, you don't understand how vaccines work.
2:55:18
And one of the most prevalent arguments is,
2:55:23
vaccines activate your immune system so that you
2:55:26
then become, you know, immune, but the virus,
2:55:30
even if you're vaccinated, the virus enters your
2:55:32
system.
2:55:34
And so if you're a child and around
2:55:37
an unvaccinated child, you get a full load
2:55:40
and then you can actually still get sick
2:55:42
because the vaccine is so safe and effective.
2:55:45
I mean, people try to explain this to
2:55:48
me and I'm like, no, the whole point
2:55:50
is your immune system is immune.
2:55:54
You're immune from it.
2:55:55
You are sterilized.
2:55:56
You have an immune system Yes.
2:55:59
Thank you.
2:56:00
Which you should not be tinkering with when
2:56:02
you're three hours old.
2:56:03
I'm not a doctor, but I'm not stupid.
2:56:06
Does everybody understand that when they are quote
2:56:09
unquote rolling the dice for their own child,
2:56:11
they're actually rolling the dice for other children
2:56:13
around them who are not immunized?
2:56:15
Most people, when they come to the office,
2:56:17
they're really concerned, most importantly, about their precious
2:56:20
little one.
2:56:21
And so it becomes really important for us
2:56:25
as doctors to communicate the safety and the
2:56:27
efficacy of these vaccines.
2:56:29
Gio was begging me he wants to go
2:56:31
to school.
2:56:31
He doesn't want to be kicked out.
2:56:32
Faced with school vaccine mandates, the Marescas reluctantly
2:56:36
vaccinated their son.
2:56:37
Stop again.
2:56:38
Stop, stop.
2:56:40
What kid ever did said that in their
2:56:42
lives, especially in the younger age?
2:56:44
The kid who is scripted.
2:56:46
I don't I want to go to school.
2:56:50
No kids ever said what nobody ever said
2:56:53
ever.
2:56:54
Well, this is the message.
2:56:55
The message is don't get your kids not
2:56:57
vaccinated.
2:56:58
You're getting kicked out of school.
2:56:59
That's the message here from from Dr. John,
2:57:02
which contradicts what the Department of Education wants,
2:57:04
because they get paid so much from the
2:57:05
government to have kids in school.
2:57:07
So there's there's mixed messaging going on here.
2:57:10
They don't know what to do.
2:57:11
Gio was begging me.
2:57:12
He wants to go to school.
2:57:13
He doesn't want to be kicked out.
2:57:14
Faced with school vaccine mandates, the Marescas reluctantly
2:57:18
vaccinated their son, but are still looking for
2:57:21
empathy.
2:57:22
Don't be dismissive with us.
2:57:23
Don't patronize us.
2:57:24
Don't make us feel stupid.
2:57:26
It's critical that you are honest with them,
2:57:29
that you frame the discussion with facts and
2:57:33
a willingness to listen.
2:57:35
Yeah, so we're going to give you facts
2:57:36
and you need a willingness to listen.
2:57:38
I have two more short clips.
2:57:39
But first, a quick note from one of
2:57:41
our producers who heard this conversation on the
2:57:43
last episode where I said the doctor, he
2:57:46
predicts that there will be there could be
2:57:49
pediatricians who might actually kill themselves once they
2:57:53
find out how much harm they've done to
2:57:55
children with this 76 vaccine schedule.
2:57:58
And she says, Andrea Dickert, as a certified
2:58:02
neonatal intensive care, NICU registered nurse who administered
2:58:07
many vaccines in my eight years of working
2:58:09
at level four.
2:58:10
That's the highest level of care at a
2:58:12
NICU.
2:58:13
I can attest that I too felt so
2:58:15
much shame and regret at the possibility that
2:58:17
I may have caused more harm than good
2:58:19
to so many of my patients, especially when
2:58:22
I witnessed adverse reactions firsthand and some of
2:58:26
them on preemie babies that we administered them
2:58:29
to.
2:58:29
So prematurely born babies.
2:58:33
Another side note, many of the vaccines that
2:58:35
are given to preemies are administered against manufacturing
2:58:39
guidelines, as many of them do not meet
2:58:42
the weight requirements for the dosage.
2:58:44
But instead of offing myself, as your ER
2:58:47
doctor friend stated, I decided to push back
2:58:50
and do something about it.
2:58:51
So I started a podcast with the goal
2:58:55
of empowering.
2:58:58
That'll do it.
2:58:59
With the goal of empowering parents to make
2:59:01
decisions for themselves and their children by using
2:59:04
knowledge, insight and intuition, not fear or social
2:59:07
pressure.
2:59:08
So if any of the NOAA gender producers
2:59:09
wants to hear the founder explain for herself
2:59:12
what she has discovered, or if anyone wants
2:59:14
to gain some more insight, people always ask
2:59:16
me this about what true informed consent is.
2:59:18
They can listen to the the podcast, the
2:59:22
Fearless Motherhood podcast.
2:59:24
Fearless Motherhood?
2:59:25
Yes, the Fearless Motherhood podcast.
2:59:28
So I wanted to plug that.
2:59:29
OK, that sounds like a winner.
2:59:30
Yeah, that's go podcasting.
2:59:33
Finally, then, and I don't understand why if
2:59:35
Gorka, if Gorka is considered to be an
2:59:38
advisor, how come former CDC director Redfield is
2:59:42
not an advisor?
2:59:43
This is the guy who came out right
2:59:45
away and said, no, no, no, no.
2:59:47
This is the bearded guy.
2:59:48
Yeah, yeah.
2:59:49
He's great.
2:59:50
Yeah, so here he is.
2:59:51
Do you think we should be worried at
2:59:53
all?
2:59:53
Like if he gets confirmed, that he could
2:59:56
sort of start a real no vaccine culture
2:59:59
and put that into public policy?
3:00:01
Talking about RFKJ.
3:00:03
No, Brian, I don't think that.
3:00:05
I mean, I'm probably one of the biggest
3:00:06
advocates for vaccine.
3:00:08
You mentioned that I when I was CDC
3:00:10
director, I would say that I think vaccines
3:00:13
are the greatest gift for science to modern
3:00:15
medicine.
3:00:16
And I still believe that Kennedy's not anti
3:00:18
-vaccine.
3:00:20
What Kennedy is about is transparency about vaccines,
3:00:24
honest discussion about vaccines, asking for the data
3:00:27
to show that these vaccines are safe and
3:00:30
they're efficacious.
3:00:32
And the mere question of asking, what's the
3:00:35
data for safety?
3:00:37
Many of his detractors say, OK, well, you're
3:00:39
anti-vax.
3:00:40
No, just show me the safety data.
3:00:42
Show me the efficacy data.
3:00:44
I have high confidence that Kennedy is going
3:00:47
to be a strong supporter of transparency on
3:00:54
vaccines.
3:00:55
And where the vaccine data shows that they're
3:00:57
efficacious and a benefit to the American public,
3:01:00
he will promote them.
3:01:02
And then the real issue, which he says
3:01:04
here.
3:01:05
I think, Brian, we need transformational change.
3:01:07
Right now, we've created over the last 20,
3:01:11
30 years, we've developed a disease system.
3:01:15
We need to make a health system.
3:01:18
And when Kennedy says he wants to help
3:01:20
make America healthy again, when I was CDC
3:01:22
director, one of the challenges was we lost
3:01:25
about 1.2 million people died of COVID.
3:01:28
Other countries like Taiwan lost less than 10
3:01:31
,000 people.
3:01:32
Why did we lose so many people?
3:01:34
We lost so many people because we're a
3:01:37
sick nation.
3:01:39
And Kennedy is really committed to making us
3:01:43
healthy again.
3:01:44
And I do agree with you.
3:01:45
We should all get behind him.
3:01:47
Making a healthy America is not a partisan
3:01:49
issue.
3:01:50
We ought to get behind him and make
3:01:53
us healthy again.
3:01:55
The problem is it's a money issue.
3:01:56
It's an advertising issue.
3:01:58
It's a grift issue.
3:01:59
That's the problem.
3:02:01
Yeah, that's the problem.
3:02:03
And it has a lot to do with
3:02:04
the fact that prescription drugs are advertised on
3:02:08
television and they can and they dominate the
3:02:10
the money flow.
3:02:12
And so they the TV stations and whatever
3:02:16
and a lot of magazines, in fact, do
3:02:18
what they're told.
3:02:19
I keep getting a lot of the problem
3:02:20
with the corruption of advertising.
3:02:22
That's why we don't take advertising in this
3:02:24
show.
3:02:31
Just say I'm stepping on it every time
3:02:33
now.
3:02:33
Just say that's why we don't take advertising
3:02:35
on this show.
3:02:36
I'll fix it in post.
3:02:37
No one will know.
3:02:40
That's why we don't take advertising on this
3:02:43
show.
3:02:44
I'm going to show my support by donating
3:02:46
to No Agenda.
3:02:47
Imagine all the people who would do that.
3:02:49
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
3:02:57
That's right.
3:02:58
We don't take advertising on this show.
3:03:00
We just do a service.
3:03:01
We deliver a service.
3:03:02
We perform a service for you, No Agenda
3:03:04

3:03:14

3:03:15

3:03:16

3:03:16
It'll be OK.
3:03:18
And we're going to thank our producers who
3:03:19
came in.
3:03:20
Fifty dollars and above.
3:03:21
And we have a tip of the day
3:03:23
coming.
3:03:23
We have great end of show mixes.
3:03:25
Nice meetup reports, including one from El Salvador.
3:03:28
John, take us through the 50s.
3:03:29
And I will mention that we do not
3:03:32
fix stuff in post.
3:03:34
I think that people who are listening notice
3:03:36
by now.
3:03:36
Yes.
3:03:38

3:03:47
OK, I'll take a look.
3:03:49
OK, it should be MKUltra Mark in Brooklyn,
3:03:53
New York.
3:03:53

3:04:36
tax and you just drive a couple of
3:04:38
blocks and you're in Portland where you don't
3:04:40
pay sales tax.
3:04:41
Oh, well.
3:04:41

3:05:14

3:05:15

3:05:17
But we don't do that here.
3:05:19

The biscuit is in the oven.
3:06:26

They always give me a biscuit on my

But it's like super long.
3:06:37
I don't know what it is.
3:06:37
No, I was, he's saying the value.
3:06:39
He's saying you didn't invent the value for
3:06:41
value model.
3:06:42
It's been around forever.
3:06:44
Yeah, well, we just said that we derived
3:06:46
it.
3:06:47
It's that we derived it from both churches
3:06:48
and public broadcasting.
3:06:50
They've been doing it since when they, since
3:06:52
they began.
3:06:53
And nonprofits.
3:06:54
They used to.
3:06:55
Nonprofits.
3:06:55
Time, talent, treasure.
3:06:57
Yes, exactly.
3:06:57
We never took credit for invention.
3:06:59
We invented it for podcasting.
3:07:01
Yes, for sure.
3:07:03
Sir Jub Jub in Elkton, Florida.

Jennifer Williams in Davy Crockett National Forest in
3:07:40
Texas.
3:07:40
I didn't know the Davy Crockett had a
3:07:42
forest in Texas, but I guess he did.
3:07:43
He deserves it.
3:07:45
5272.

This is a night note you can read.
3:08:07
Hi, John and Adam.
3:08:08
You said you break for night, so I
3:08:10
hope you read this on the show.
3:08:11
Of course.
3:08:12
I don't know what else to try at
3:08:13
this point.
3:08:14
I got hit by a huge layoff earlier
3:08:16
this year, and even with a Linda Lupatkin
3:08:18
resume and getting my CISSP this year after
3:08:21
only two weeks study, I haven't gotten a
3:08:23
single offer and can barely get interviews.
3:08:27
I've been actively on the job searching over
3:08:29
eight months, and my wife's car got totaled
3:08:32
last week on top of her job not
3:08:33
paying enough to cover normal expenses.
3:08:35
Oh, it sucks.
3:08:37
This is a plea for help, he says.
3:08:39
I can't relocate because of my wife's job,
3:08:42
so I either need a software engineering position
3:08:45
in San Diego or something fully remote.
3:08:47
I don't need jingles or karma.
3:08:50
I need referrals or to talk to hiring
3:08:52
managers for any fellow producers who might be
3:08:55
able to help.
3:08:56
My CV is here.
3:09:02

There is no doubt Noah Jender meetups are
3:13:20
the connection that give you the protection.
3:13:22
You're Noah Jender producers at the meetups.
3:13:24
They're going to be your first responders in
3:13:26
any kind of climate emergency or climate finance
3:13:29
emergency for that matter.
3:13:30
And people love doing them.
3:13:32
And I always encourage you to get your
3:13:35
servers in on the deal.
3:13:36
You can hit them in the mouth.
3:13:37
I think some of the producers did that
3:13:39
in these reports.
3:13:40
We start with Snohomish, Washington.
3:13:42
In the morning, ladies and germs, my name
3:13:45
is Rory.
3:13:46
This is my first meetup.
3:13:47
Apparently, it's a lot of first meetups for
3:13:49
a lot of people.
3:13:50
So we're excited to experience this.
3:13:52
I'll pass the phone along to see who
3:13:54
else wants to talk about it.
3:13:55
In the morning, this is Savannah.
3:13:56
Happy to report this meetup was not AI
3:13:59

3:14:00
Hui, Hui from Snohomish.
3:14:02
This is my first meetup and we got
3:14:04
a great group of people here.
3:14:06
Oh, in the morning.
3:14:07
How are you guys doing?
3:14:08
Yo, having so much fun.
3:14:10
Hey, this is Zach.
3:14:12

3:14:23
Hi, I'm Daniel.
3:14:24
This is my first Noah Jender meetup and
3:14:26

3:14:28
All right, take care, buddy.
3:14:30
Later, fellas.
3:14:31

3:14:33
In the morning, Gitmo Nation.
3:14:34
Sir Bob here from the North Georgia Monthly
3:14:36
Meetup.
3:14:36
We had another good turnout.
3:14:37
Everybody had a good time and we tipped
3:14:39
heavily.
3:14:40
Let's see what everybody had to say.
3:14:41
Hello, it's Ro.
3:14:43
See y'all next month.
3:14:44
Surrey here.
3:14:45

3:14:52
double tip.
3:14:53
Sean here.
3:14:54
Gobble, gobble, y'all.
3:14:56
Hey, N.A. Dr. Sir, Mike Roch.
3:15:00
Tip of the meetup.
3:15:01
Look, call your parents.
3:15:04
They want to hear from you.
3:15:06
And tell your mom I said, hey.
3:15:09
My name's Troy.
3:15:10
I'm a server at Cherry Street.
3:15:11
And Sir Bob just hit me in the
3:15:12
mouth.
3:15:12
There you go.
3:15:13
This is Cody signing out.
3:15:14
Noah Jender rocks.
3:15:15
The best barkeep at Cherry Street.
3:15:17
How's he on?
3:15:18
That's how you do it.
3:15:19
Now we go to Bitcoin Beach in El
3:15:21
Salvador.
3:15:22
In the morning, Noah Jender Nation.
3:15:23
This is Pablo here from French-speaking Candanavia.
3:15:27
Coming to you live from El Zonte, El
3:15:29

3:15:31
It's block height 871,380.
3:15:34
And they say all hell's going to break
3:15:36
loose.
3:15:37
You're going to need yourself a Bitcoin.
3:15:39
And this is Frederick.
3:15:40
Noah Jender, Knight of the Order of Binary
3:15:42

Stacking sats and trying to stay humble.
3:15:50
Becoming trilingual, trying to speak third language.
3:15:53
Back over to you, Pablo.
3:15:55
It's hot and sweaty, but it's like a
3:15:57
party.
3:15:58
Yeah.
3:15:59
Thank you very much.
3:15:59
I appreciate that.
3:16:00
Then, of course, we have the big group
3:16:02
there in Ocala, Florida.
3:16:04
Here is their meetup for the month of

3:16:12
In the morning, John and Adam.
3:16:14
This is Dame Meowdis in here.
3:16:15
We have a nice big group in Ocala.
3:16:17
We did our Glass Bonnet Boat Tour.
3:16:19

3:16:20
Had a great hang.
3:16:21
And just wanted to say thank you for
3:16:23
your courage.
3:16:24
Love the show and keep up the good
3:16:25
work.
3:16:26
David from Dade City in the morning, John
3:16:27

3:16:28
And Adam, we love you, even though we
3:16:30
all know you're jealous of Elon Musk.
3:16:31
This is Paul Busby, Silver Springs Bay Park.
3:16:33
I survived the monkey poop war of 2024.
3:16:36
We saw plenty of animals on the Glass
3:16:38
Bonnet Boats, but no Peanut and Fred, unfortunately.
3:16:41
Jackson in Ocala, where we're all waiting for
3:16:43
the seasoning of reveal.
3:16:45
This is 4-H Mama from Florida, where

3:16:49
Bringing back the whoopie cushion.
3:16:51
You're bringing back the whoopie cushion.
3:16:53
Grumpy green guy in the morning.
3:16:54
In the morning.
3:16:55
Canadian refugees.
3:16:56
Hey John and Adam.
3:16:57
IPM, thank you for the close.
3:16:59
In the morning, fellas.
3:17:00
One, two, Trump is coming for you.
3:17:03
In the morning, this is Leslie.
3:17:05
Thank you for your courage.
3:17:06
This is the Reiki Princess.
3:17:07
So excited we had an amazing time.
3:17:09
If you haven't checked out the Silver Springs
3:17:11
State Park in Ocala, definitely do it.
3:17:14
And don't forget to join us at our
3:17:15
next meetup, where we're going to be throwing
3:17:16
axes and knives.
3:17:18
In the morning.
3:17:20
Ah, nothing like throwing axes and knives.
3:17:23
That's how you do a Noah Jenner meetup.
3:17:25
Thank you very much, Reiki Princess.
3:17:26
Taking place today, we have the Indiana Tribal
3:17:29
Count and Count and Count on U.S.

3:17:52
California.
3:17:52
Many more meetups to be found on the
3:17:55
calendar.
3:17:55
I suggest you go take a look.
3:17:57
It is an experience you will always remember.
3:18:00
You will want to do it more and
3:18:01
more and more and more and more.
3:18:02
Just like eating potato chips.
3:18:04
NoahJennerMeetups.com.
3:18:05
If you can't find one near you, start
3:18:07
one yourself.
3:18:26
It's like a party.
3:18:30
Yeah, like a party.
3:18:32
I have, uh, I have three, three ISOs.
3:18:37
We like to choose the end of show
3:18:38
ISO at this point in the program.
3:18:40
Why we do it?
3:18:41
I don't know.
3:18:41
It's fun.
3:18:42
It's fun.
3:18:43
It's another competition that John and I can
3:18:44
have amongst each other.
3:18:46
And here's my first one.
3:18:47
It's too long, but here it is anyway.
3:18:49
Oh, that is not professional.
3:18:55
Okay.
3:18:56
Nope.
3:18:57
Uh, second one.
3:18:58
This is fun.
3:19:00
Or, or.
3:19:01
I see a douchebag.
3:19:03
No, that, that, I think that, that has,
3:19:05
has, has potential.
3:19:07
I like the middle one.
3:19:09
Yeah, you would.
3:19:10
It was K part.
3:19:13
Here we go with my, I only have
3:19:14
one.
3:19:15
It's just one.
3:19:16
I grabbed this.
3:19:17
Oh, oh, compared to this was fun.
3:19:24
I would even do it.
3:19:25
I would even do a double up.
3:19:26
Oh, this was fun.
3:19:27
How about that?
3:19:28
Oh, that's nice.
3:19:29
I think we'll do that.
3:19:30
All right, everybody.
3:19:31
Let's take it away for John's tip of
3:19:34
the day.
3:19:46
I got a culinary tip, which I've been
3:19:49
sitting on for a while and boy, that
3:19:52
hurts.
3:19:53
And this is a product that is used
3:19:57
in Southeast Asian cooking.
3:19:58
And I've gotten to a discussion with JC
3:20:00
about it.
3:20:01
He claims that this is originally a condiment
3:20:05
or flavoring ingredient that came from the Romans
3:20:08
and then got to somehow got to China,
3:20:10
where then it was changed over time to
3:20:13
the Southeast Asia, where they make it all
3:20:16
over the place.
3:20:17
It's called, and it's got a, I don't
3:20:19
think the name's appropriate, but it's called fish
3:20:24
sauce, fish sauce.
3:20:26
All right.
3:20:27
Now you can find it, you can get
3:20:29
it on Amazon.
3:20:30
There's a bunch of brands.
3:20:31
There's in fact, there's more brands than you
3:20:32
can imagine.
3:20:33
I would recommend people start with Red Boat,
3:20:37
which was a fairly new fish sauce maker,
3:20:39
but he does it the right way.
3:20:41
It's fish sauce is made from black anchovies
3:20:46
that have been fermented in salt for one
3:20:49
year in a barrel.
3:20:51
Wow.
3:20:52
And as with French cooking, sometimes you use
3:20:56
anchovies like they're used in Caesar salads and
3:20:59
you're taking, they're always salt and you scrape
3:21:02
it off and you mix it into different
3:21:04
sauces.
3:21:04
This accomplishes the same thing.
3:21:06
A couple of things you should know.
3:21:08
One, it doesn't taste like fish.
3:21:14
Good to know.
3:21:16
And I would recommend getting Red Boat, which
3:21:20
is done by, which is a new company,
3:21:22
fairly new company developed by an Apple engineer
3:21:25
who is Vietnamese.
3:21:26
He couldn't find good fish sauce because what
3:21:28
the Asians do and what smart European cooks
3:21:31
do is you use it as a salt
3:21:33
substitute in spaghetti sauces and soups and stews.
3:21:38
You just, that was going to be my
3:21:39
question is what do you use it on?
3:21:41
So as a salt substitute in spaghettis and
3:21:44
soups.
3:21:45
Yeah.
3:21:45
It adds umami that you wouldn't get from
3:21:47
salt.
3:21:48
Like a lot of it.
3:21:50
It's an umami ingredient where you do, which
3:21:52
is the, you know, the latest buzzword into
3:21:54
cooking circles is umami, which is mouthfeel.
3:21:58
And it adds umami and a lot of
3:22:01
salt.
3:22:01
What you do is when you buy it,
3:22:02
you get your bottle of Red Boat, which
3:22:04
is a starter.
3:22:05
There's all kinds of companies that make this,
3:22:07
but this is the one that's extremely popular
3:22:08
in this country because of the Apple connection.
3:22:11
The guy knows how to market to Americans.
3:22:14
You take a drop or two of it
3:22:16
and put in a spoon and taste it.
3:22:17
You'll see what I'm talking about.
3:22:18
It's electrically salty and delicious, but it doesn't
3:22:23
taste like fish.
3:22:24
It's just some sort of it.
3:22:25
Sorry that they call it fish sauce, but
3:22:27
that's basically it's fermented anchovy juice.
3:22:32
It's bad marketing.
3:22:34
Fish sauce.
3:22:35
Well, it's just what it's called.
3:22:38
So you put a couple of shakes in
3:22:40
your spaghetti sauce as a secret ingredient.
3:22:42
It'll knock the thing up two notches in
3:22:45
terms of deliciousness.
3:22:48
Exit strategy.
3:22:49
Do you think you could make this fish
3:22:51
sauce?
3:22:52
Do you think you have the chops to
3:22:54
make it?
3:22:55
I could make it, but I wouldn't do
3:22:57
it cost effectively like they can in Cambodia,
3:23:00
for example.
3:23:01
But wait, but wait.
3:23:03
That has nothing to do with it.
3:23:05
You just need the right branding.
3:23:07
For instance, I can see a two for
3:23:11
one.
3:23:13
John C.
3:23:14
Dvorak's seasoning of reveal.
3:23:18
And as a bonus, you get umami magic.
3:23:23
Now, that's a name for a fish sauce.
3:23:25
Umami magic.
3:23:26
That's a good name.
3:23:27
Um, okay, well, then the way it should
3:23:29
be done as a think ahead of the
3:23:31
game.
3:23:33
Private label some stuff out of Vietnam, just
3:23:36
get some crap and put umami magic.
3:23:39
No, it's not crap.
3:23:39
But I'm telling you this stuff.
3:23:41
If people start using this in their everyday
3:23:43
cooking, can we?
3:23:46
Now that I will say this, this is
3:23:48
this is an exit.
3:23:50
Umami magic is a winner.
3:23:52
Okay, and I wrote it down.
3:23:54
Yeah, good.
3:23:55
So there's an area called Phu Quoc that
3:23:59
is outside of the bottom of Vietnam, where
3:24:02
she's got the best waters for these black
3:24:04
anchovies.
3:24:05
And so you look for that name, you're
3:24:07
going to get some good quality stuff.
3:24:08
But I should mention this.
3:24:10
That's why the red boats kind of interesting.
3:24:11
This is a small bottle.
3:24:13
I had bought a bottle of fish sauce
3:24:16
from one another brand.
3:24:19
In a 750 or a liter.
3:24:22
I've had it for five years.
3:24:25
You can't use enough of it.
3:24:27
I mean, it's just like a couple of
3:24:28
shakes and you're done.
3:24:30
And then you're done for the whatever next
3:24:31
time you make spaghetti sauce or whatever sauce
3:24:33
that lasts forever.
3:24:35
Kids will love it.
3:24:36
They will love it on their spaghetti.
3:24:39
Everybody wants the small bag.
3:24:40
You put it in the sauce.
3:24:42
Now, I suppose you could put it directly
3:24:44
on the Spaghetti O's if you want salty
3:24:46
Spaghetti O's.
3:24:48
I'm trying to get a fish sauce Vietnamese.
3:24:51
The other Southeast Asian countries make it, too.
3:24:54
And I would start with the red boat
3:24:57
and then try other ones after that.
3:24:59
Start with red boat and then move your
3:25:01
way up to John C.
3:25:02
Dvorak's small batch Umami magic.
3:25:05
There it is.
3:25:05
Tip of the day dot net.
3:25:16
We'll be bringing that to market right after
3:25:19
the microphone company kicks off.
3:25:21
It's going to be awesome.
3:25:25
Vinegar book.
3:25:29

3:26:27
Coming to you from the heart of the
3:26:28
Texas Hill Country, FEMA region number six in
3:26:31
the morning, everybody.
3:26:32
I'm Adam Curry.
3:26:33
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we had
3:26:35
a stream from hell rainstorm that's now gone.
3:26:39
I'm John C.
3:26:39
Dvorak.
3:26:40
We return on Thursday, Thanksgiving.
3:26:42
See you then.
3:26:42
Adios, mofos, a hui hui and such.
3:26:45
Deeply worrying statement from Vladimir Putin.
3:26:47
He's putting his strategic defense forces on a
3:26:50
state of heightened readiness.
3:26:52
It certainly sounds like nuclear saber rattling.
3:26:55
Putin is ordering the country's deterrence forces, which
3:27:00
does include nuclear weapons, to be on high
3:27:03
alert.
3:27:04
It is nuclear saber rattling.
3:27:06
Nuclear saber rattling.
3:27:08
Putin is crazy enough to try a tactical
3:27:10
move.
3:27:12
Vladimir Putin is known for having a very
3:27:14
heavy heat, increasing the nuclear deterrence readiness level.
3:27:21
Russia sets off a small, low yield nuclear
3:27:25
weapon just to shock everybody.
3:27:28
Our nuclear coercion, this nuclear signaling is a
3:27:32
critical component of it.
3:27:34
He's threatening to potentially lean into nuclear by
3:27:38
saying he's raising his threat level.
3:27:40
A bit of a saber rattle here is
3:27:42
ordered his Russian nuclear deterrence forces on alert.
3:27:46
It is nuclear saber rattling.
3:27:48
Nuclear saber rattling.
3:27:51
I just want to comment on the nuclear
3:27:53
stuff.
3:27:54
Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations, calling
3:27:57
the claims, quote, invented and saying in a
3:28:00
statement to ABC News that this false smear
3:28:03
following a three-year criminal investigation should be
3:28:06
viewed with great skepticism.
3:28:08
The DOJ investigation was closed with no charges
3:28:12
being brought.
3:28:32
This is the way the game is played.
3:28:35
As a career prosecutor and former attorney general
3:28:38
of Florida, I fought corruption.
3:28:40
And I know what it looks like, whether
3:28:43
it's done by people wearing pen-striped suits
3:28:45
or orange jumpsuits.
3:29:02
So there it is in my nutshell.
3:29:04
This is a bunch of bullcrap.
3:29:06
A warning.
3:29:07
This piece includes the sound of gunfire.
3:29:12
Yeah, what you want to do?
3:29:14
What you want to do?
3:29:17
If you don't quit, yeah, if you don't
3:29:20
stop, yeah, I'm letting my gas pump.
3:29:24
Yeah, if you don't stop.
3:29:27
Trying to keep calm, trying to keep people
3:29:30
from panicking in what is.
3:29:33
And there we go.
3:29:35
Just heard the first siren has just gone
3:29:38
off.
3:29:39
And I've been told by city officials that
3:29:42
that indicates that this is a city under
3:29:44
attack.
3:29:44
And again, this is the first time we
3:29:46
have heard sirens in the capital.
3:29:48
What you want to do?
3:29:49
What you want to do?
3:29:51
Because you've been hearing explosions now for a
3:29:55
couple of hours.
3:29:57
And we're asking about these sirens.
3:29:59
You said they've been tested.
3:30:00
Let's just listen.
3:30:00
The sirens are now underway.
3:30:28
We had been wondering why we hadn't heard
3:30:31
sirens.
3:30:31
We all heard the explosions.
3:30:33
We were wondering where the sirens were.
3:30:35
I've been told by city officials that they
3:30:37
had tested this system earlier in the week.
3:30:41
They said it was working and now hours
3:30:44
into this attack, we are now hearing the
3:30:46
siren system alerting people that this attack is
3:30:51
underway.
3:30:52
It is a remarkable development.
3:31:01
You're going to stay with us.
3:31:03
I'm healed.
3:31:16

This was fun.
