00:00 Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah This is no agenda You gotta talk to Marty because you already did that opening. I did it again. Why did you do it again? That show is so bad, people need to be reminded! Well what are you doing watching it?! Why are you even on those channels!? I'm looking for news stories... Oh man no no just say NO stay away from that stuff It's not healthy for you Now they have a whole slew of spin-offs Hey speaking of, I had a vision

01:15 I think i've figured it out for something you've been asking for, for a long time. Okay but wait let me ask a question in advance was this vision in a vivid dream? No. No, it was not in a vivid dream It was as I was going to sleep last night it came over me like a warm blanket You sure that wasn't liquid? Yeah no! Come on man! I figured out how to do it The NO Agenda Podcast Awards Ahhhh...it's about time you've come around Also known as the GOATS Okay, you know what the funny thing is

01:58 That's interesting you'd say that because goats is commonly used in sports a lot and it became a popular phrase about greatest decade ago but I don't know that its been used as an award base. No, no! You may have stumbled onto something here the goats... I told you a vision the goats because of course you have to have a the award has to have a name so NO Agenda podcast awards is one thing Maybe I don't know if we want to call it the no agenda podcast awards or just the the podcast awards But our our award itself is called a goat Yeah, not the goatee. No not the goaties no the goats it's just the goats now here's how it works Because this is the most important part how do we differentiate ourselves? And I feel so good about planting a seed Well like a little mustard seed it grew into an enormous tree John you have done your business It must doesn't grow into a tree that go on

02:59 So, we don't have traditional categories. We just have awards and it is the producers of the No Agenda show which means you have to at least donated once doesn't matter what amount and we can work on this later but that's just in my vision The producers send in the awards And its clips so you'll have to be able to clip I'm seeing Awards such as best vocal fry in a podcast. Most use of the word right in a podcast, funniest handoff on hey girl hey hi hey hey Best transition to an ad read gold! Best native ad... Gold This would be fantastic this is why people would love our awards what do you think?

03:56 I mean we still have no immediate complaints. We still choose the awards because it becomes, but i don't want to deteriorate into the raspberries No no hey! The best vocal fry that's not easy to do in a podcast That takes talent Especially if you're gonna sustain it. Yes, so I'm so and they probably deserve an award because they're gonna be They're gonna ruin their vocal cords So the so the producers send in their clips there nominees We of course like all good awards we do whatever we want and that's a way awards work Well still have some consultants come out and say well I've tallied all the votes here with a little suitcase

04:42 Oh, it's in here. No one knows the results but of course we know you know this is how it works Of course We know the results and then we do an award show You know I think we can we can do a pretty fun job with that And maybe we get some...I don't know I mean though the production of the show itself I'm not there yet But just the basic concept is all of these things that are that make podcasting so unique Well, the thing is it would be a... there's no categories. It would be open-ended. Yep! And you can't give an award for the longest podcast in the history of podcasting? Well yeah I think we already won that one. We're on deck for winning The Goat for that. Then everyone gets goat and if you win The Goat then obviously you can hear... It'll be a goathead. Yeah, of course. You know how this gonna work

05:35 It's obvious, you know. Plastic! It should be plastic. A plastic goat and I think there are plenty of great nominations that people can send in but all those things make it specific. The most profane... All the guys who can't stop cussing on their podcast? Yeah stuff like that. Best Nat Pops Yeah, well there's very few podcasts that do that. That's true. Except us! We do a great job we do a great job ah Okay good I'm glad you kind of liked that. I'm excited. Hey, I'm glad you came up with it that means your on board Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas? I know that I had a great Christmas...we had one of the human resources and her boyfriend here that was great and i made double dip depression slave stew

06:32 for the day after Christmas, which everybody loved. If you've never heard of that it's a NOA Agenda staple I've published the link to the recipe in the show notes Of course the Dvorak family celebrates traditionally on the 29th of December No actually traditionally we actually celebrate on the 1st January Which was done in the 14 and 15 or like 15th and 16th century by the Tudors They would always do it on the first and we feel this is more traditional. We want, we believe in a traditional Christmas so we do our gifts on the 1st of January. And are they doing it all at your place or where does it take you? Everyone's gonna be here. Oh that's nice! Eric as well? Is he coming up from SD? No Eric's gonna stay... He snowed in

07:20 Oh, so he won't be able to come in. Of course of course. He's from South Dakota. Oh my goodness! And he is starting to talk like South Dakota. That's oh really? He's doing that now no not yet but it's coming well I thought I mean there's a lot of news obviously I thought the funniest and the most interesting and entertaining and i have some clips The story that just tickles me. that now compete with the Times as a source of information. The paper says the defendants should be liable for billions of dollars in damages. Microsoft is an investor in open AI and has incorporated the technology into its Bing search engine. It's such a big story, I don't know how they thought they're going to get away with it. But you've seen concerns from... Oh brother! The New York Times is maybe the biggest

08:19 name in journalism so far to come out with this, but we've seen the concern from the actors and the writers when they were making sure that that AI protection was written for the contract. My wife found out that her novel was one of 30,000 ingested into a large language model. Does she get paid for that? Should she be paid for that? I honestly don't know the answer to that but... Well The New York Times is saying yes. Very strong copyright laws in this country. Very strong copyright laws in this country. Now what are you hemming and hawing about saying bullcrap? What are you talking- did you see the lawsuit? I don't care about this is, i didn't have to see the lawsuit. What's the damages? Tell me! Oh no there's... Specifically No there are no damages. What are the damages? Oh damages! There's billions of damages what's the damage name a damage well okay first of all i've looked at the lawsuits which is interesting because you can see that um not just uh a couple of lines but like entire paragraphs

09:20 are literally just from the New York Times reporting. What they're saying is that Silicon Valley companies are paying for news in many countries, most notably Canada and I believe Australia and there's your damages so you're now taking it for free and giving away for free in the chat bots. I think there's a case there And you're the one that said that this was going to be the biggest lawsuits of all time would be around this. I can't mock it! I'm not saying, I didn't say that. This is still dubious and I went on about this before which is that everybody wants everything digitized It was gonna be great in the 70's and 80's That's all they talked about The giant information at your finger tips

10:14 kind of trend and everything was gonna be digitized. And once the Google in particular started digitizing, so did Microsoft then everyone got all up and oh they digitized my old book from 20 years ago that I haven't gotten 10 cents in royalties from for the last decade but now I'm getting ripped off bull crap! Right but I think The New York Times has a different angle here...I know what their angle is yeah there their angle isn't I'm not buying it still. I hate to say that, but it's just not a great retort.

10:55 Fair use is, you know this is what the AI companies are claiming and fair use it's probably about time this is properly examined. I understand the fair use issue and I think its an important one but just idea that they found whole paragraphs that were ripped off...I'm not believing it! Oh no oh thats absolutely true! What are talking about? It's absolutely true I went here's the reason you train the AI yourself. You've done it and you end up pulling some full graphs out This is this not the normal thing that's gonna happen Hey, why don't you go sit with Microsoft? You heathen what are you why are you on the side of these guys all of a sudden? I'm on this side of what's right well they

11:44 These large language models are literally taking entire stories and just spouting them back, with no change. Well, if that's the case then yes you have an issue. But that's what I'm saying they have these examples in the lawsuit! They're showing these examples Yes, I know but I might believing the examples are accurate Oh my God look at Grok If you ask Grok tell me about John C Dvorak on Twitter You will say tweets that you recognize word-for-word of people saying your horrible You'll recognize the exact language. This is what's so interesting, is that it IS a direct copy! It's direct copy... Well then if what you say is absolutely true without any fudging or grok for God sake, whatever the dog that thing is then yeah okay go knock yourself out but its not gonna help things and what about art? How are you going to deal with THAT?!

12:44 Well, listen. If you go on Twitter and sign a perpetual license over to X.com, X Inc., that they can do whatever they want with what you post there. So, that's not a problem. You have already given away your license for them to suck that into Grok but the New York Times has not given anyone a license to suck that into Google Co-Pilot Microsoft and have that spit back when you're writing a PowerPoint presentation I wish y'all were like in the world on this lawsuit Of the four points that are substantial Yeah okay

13:24 Whose side are you on in this lawsuit? I'm on the side of The New York Times. I think they're right, I really do! Why would i be on the side of stupid AI?! I think it's stupid... It's not interesting... It's not intelligent... That stupid AI is artificial stupidity. AS is A-S. It's a scam to get, you know, to fill up compute cycles. It's bad for the environment It is. So is Bitcoin mining, I might add Oh don't get me started on things you know nothing about young man Don't get me started! Well it'll kill you first The two are actually related because the bitcoin miners You know there's a ASICS very specific chips that they use for bitcoin mining

14:21 They are they're all now looking to create AI chips Which once this AI bubble bursts and everyone figures out it's a humongous stupid scam These AI chips will be turned right around and be super efficient for Bitcoin mining It's gonna be great because there's just gonna be all this compute laying around that no one wants to use anymore the ducks Yeah, there's animals that are going to be hurt by this climate change. Oh my God! Caused by all this mining going on... Go back to bed and get up again you're on the wrong side of history Chumlee I'm not on the wrong side of history Let's listen to CBS they had an interesting conversation maybe we can mock them

15:04 The New York Times has just filed a potentially important lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, claiming their artificial intelligence chatbots are taking web traffic away from the paper's own website. Senior business and tech correspondent Jolene Kent joins us now. And Jolene good morning to you can you dive in and tell us what this law is really about? Yeah, Jamie. Good morning. This is a real pivotal moment for AI. The New York Times is the first major media company to sue Microsoft and OpenAI, the maker of chat GPT for copyright infringement using millions of times articles to train its chat bots

16:00 to the rights of content creators and owners, and are committed to working with them. Our ongoing conversations with The New York Times have been productive in moving forward constructively so we are surprised and disappointed with this development. I like that. I always like this, I'm surprised and disappointed. Well you know Apple is now they've released news that they are exploring AI deals with news publishers. You want Apple is going to come out ahead on this after being the laggard

16:49 Because they're just going to go and license it. And this is, by the way... It's not anything intelligent This is just like a big database Oh give me the latest news on this topic It'll spit it back and we all go, oh AI! That's so impressive So they continue this conversation on CBS about the impact of the lawsuits, which is what you'd be interested in. Jolene help me understand what kind of impact could this lawsuit have? Yeah Vlad depending on what the court finds it could force AI companies to change the way they train their artificial intelligence which are called those large language models but there are big legal questions whether the facts that make up The New York Times reporting or even eligible for copyright begin with

17:32 Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig told me on the phone yesterday that AI's use of The New York Times reporting may actually fall under the doctrine of fair use. That's a legal defense that argues copyrighted material maybe is without permission under certain circumstances now, of course this could undercut The Times' argument against openAI and Microsoft but by the way guys this is not the first lawsuit we've seen from copyright holders you've seen book authors comedians major music companies they all sue generative AI companies for similar types of concerns about how they're training their models. And meantime, we've seen other news media companies strike business partnerships with open AI to license news stories but it could be billions of dollars of damages on the line here you guys. Yeah, you guys so

18:19 So, that's where the problem comes in. Fair use which is interesting to us too I mean this...us playing this we consider that to be fair use which I think we can defend, but... But what we're playing this is a more traditional well-established fair use principles. Yes yes let's just play the thing that's going on now with the AI is not established as a fair use principle so it has to be determined by court yeah and I think if Lessig He's kind of a... Go ahead, say it. Well he is the guy who started Creative Commons. I know him well. Let everything be free! Information must be free in that category That is not true! That's not true! I defended Creative Commons in court and won

19:10 Creative Commons is not about let everything be free. It's having... No, but that's his mentality he would like it to be freed no creative commons does have some restrictions and you did win a case the first picture first case that's I mean yeah your groundbreaker that's why everyone hates you That's why I'm poor you stole MTV and then you got this lawsuit. You know, did you never gonna get have friends? so So the I don't deserve is that somebody stole a photo of you when you were I think smoking pot in a plane or something I can remember some screwy yeah, and close use use use you totally

19:55 Took them to court over there. I think was some European publication They're just a rag Willie Neely stealing stuff took it off when you put a stop to it good for you Everyone's congratulate you yeah, well Thank You is what that but the Lawrence Lessig backed me up in that so he wasn't all of them mean the whole I'm no Laura Larry Larry right? Yeah quite well okay? Well, I know him. I know him quite. Well if you had lunch with him oh He had a sleepover at my house once, does that count? Okay well then you know it. Really fascinating reporting because the fair use doctrine of media is one that is employed across all media industries. All of them! You know where you say hey there's something that was reported by another news organization we're gonna show it to you we're gonna credit that news organization It's very legal. Yeah its really though about the investment that these companies

20:47 buy into. Well I think we have to have better understanding though of how these all work. True. Alright. They don't even know themselves, the dummies. They've no idea. No idea. There was just fun stuff out there can I do one more? Wait wait stop for a second We have to mention we're working today and we're working on New Year's Eve. And all the show I was just flipping around maybe get a last minute clip this morning, turn on the outnumbered the show on Fox where they have... Wow you went from The Masked Singer to Outnumbered? No wonder your cranky!

21:25 So I'm watching out now, but there's not one person on there except Tammy Bruce who kind of you know could be on vacation. But she's kind of on vacation most of the time this no nobody it's just all You know leftovers it's terrible beats Fox won't put anybody on that we don't have a B team We don't have a B team. That's it, that's why we need the podcast award so we can produce... We don't have a B team! So we could take- take to do- we could produce the show and take the day off that's what we needed What is the point of the No Agenda Podcast Awards? And so we can take a day off and just roll the tape Have a pre produced show I thought were gonna do is separate and above Oh wow, so I just created more work for us Yeah you did which was why I was kind of surprised I um

22:13 Let me just see, there was a couple... before we leave the AI thing. There was something else I was going to say about this Oh yes! The Tony Blair Institute which came out with its 10 policy priorities for global leaders in 2024 What the hell's the Tony Blair Institute? Well it's clearly for you know they give advice to leaders So Tony Blair is a player. From Tony Blair? Oh yeah, he's a player! He's a player. Yeah I mean hey look he's a lot smarter than we are... He's making money off of this bullcrap so number five policy makers maintain momentum on AI even if public interest dips

22:57 And he says big changes are coming. Why? Well, here it is... Big changes are coming even if they're not evident right now so policy makers should keep working on the deployment and regulation of AI and in particular act fast to ensure access to compute capacity their country needs to compete So what are these big changes he's talking about if he if he says big changes are coming He must have an inkling of what these changes might be. What are they? Yeah, that doesn't need to say that he's Tony Blair But he's doing yes no I saw his clueless you just throwing out memes No, what he does is he sells you a contract to Microsoft Azure That's what he's doing here Hello

23:40 Public services. He's become a middleman for Microsoft Services? Yes, yes and Google. What a stooge! Here public service six public services start to serve the people that I got to read this graph Countries are experimenting in different ways with applying technology to public services to make them more user friendly responsive and efficient but stop Okay, so when I was a kid and I was going to the University of California Berkeley we were already clued in everybody who said the big deal was and this was back in the day. And it continues The United States is gonna very slowly evolve from being a manufacturing company To a service company where everything's gonna be service Yeah Service-service-service Like restaurant service

24:30 Well, no. All any kind of service I think the peak of service ended with a product called WordPerfect which was a word processor that came out out of Utah and they had a service department you could call them get anything answered really quick. Wow! WordPerfect 4.2 that was the standard It was actually probably the biggest word processor. The legal standard for when I took my company public in 96'. It was a big deal and of course they got bought out, folded into something and folded into something else next thing you know the Microsoft products run everything but there is no service so this garbage week... And I thought they were going to move the garbage up and they're starting to pick up garbage this morning and I'm saying wait a minute they're supposed to move it up a week?

25:20 I'm on hold forever to a recording and don't forget that you put your bags in the bags, in the bag. And it goes on and on and nobody ever picks up. I have to finally hang up. It's like you can't even get through receptionist anymore because there are no receptionists as all these machines Press 2 if you speak Spanish. It's unbelievable! We suck at service, the country is going down the tubes because of this Well I disagree respectfully Which I love saying because that means F you basically. Respectfully, yes it means F you. So we live in unincorporated Fredericksburg, right outside city services so we don't get any service from the city however for $92 a quarter

26:10 which is $30 a month, we have Gillespie Waste Services and they call me. They say hey when you come on Tuesday the day after Christmas if I forgot to put up my trash one day I text the guy he's like no problem will swing back on the way home will pick it up then for your service perfect service One example out of thousands. Genuinely transformative progress relies on connecting the many silos of information to deliver proactive support to the people who need it, reducing waste while maximizing service value. This requires a common infrastructure and identity system. Yeah Tony you tell them!

26:57 That's what they want, identity system. Yes! Hello Citizen Dvorak, what is your ID number? Hey remember Lotus Jazz? Oh yeah. Lotus Jazz man that was the suite you needed to have. Wasn't Lotus Jazz incorporating one version of their spreadsheet that was open-ended They just throw numbers on the screen and it would put them in. There was no cells, remember that? That product... I can't remember. There were people who were falling in love with that thing and they couldn't sustain it. I don't know why it died but it died completely Well what I remember is you had to insert your original disc every single time to run it And eventually those floppies, the three-and-a-half inch floppies just didn't work anymore So you lose your access to the program. That's what I remember Lotus Jazz being a problem

27:55 Yeah, because people might copy it. You know steal it Oh please see you Yeah, that's no good was like the keys remember that USB key how many keys yet is sticking a key for everything? yeah a while It was no good None of those good. No that was good Anyway, we have a new freakout happening online Which is of course something I love to research this was truly Truly amazing the text messages were flying people are posting about this everywhere. I have two examples guys This you know whenever a cute blonde starts off with oh guys guys

28:36 Guys, something's going on guys. This stands for sex, hate alcohol firearms and tobacco. This is going to be implemented on January 1st and the fines that they will fine you is in the thousands I had no idea that we lived in China Since when does a company get to determine what you are allowed to talk about In a private text message to a friend

29:16 This should not only disturb you, but this should make you want to take action. If you have T-Mobile switch now! And if they are doing this, how long do you think it's going to be before they start fact checking our text messages? This is an outrage. They're gonna fact check our messages. They're reading our text messages. You got a drop T-Mobile right now and of course we all know this is really Joe Biden breaking news. I love people who think that they're breaking news when

29:52 When they're on TikTok, breaking news. Breaking news right here in Joe Biden's America he's allowing major cell phone provider T-Mobile to read your private text messages and fine you up to $3500 If you say mean things they don't like. It's called SHAFT, it's the system they're using. They're giving somebody the SHAFT on it. It stands for sex, hate, alcohol, firearms and tobacco. It outlaws the categories of text messages specifically

30:27 specifically regulated due to moral and legal issues, that is monitored and enforced by the Cellular Telephone Industries Association. This will all begin on January 1st 2024. You know like I know they're gonna target conservatives They're gonna target anybody that wasn't about getting that forced medical procedure. They're gonna target anybody that questions anything. If you question anything government, they are going to target you. They are going to fine up to $3500. Now there saying it's to prevent porn guns illegal drugs

31:07 all of that, but they snuck in that one word the Democrats love. Hate speech! And you know like I know hate speech is nothing more than pro-Trump anti Joe Biden or anti Democrat pro conservative That's hate speech as far as these major corporations go. This guy just goes on and on so this is just hearing this John from your breaking news source on TikTok what is your takeaway that you think is happening here with this shaft? Well, obviously the I mean this is unfamiliar to me but it's obvious by the name shaft that has done as somebody did this as a joke. But I think it might have actually been directed by Verizon or some dirty tricks operation one of the other companies. Interestingly enough, This has already been in place since 2022 and it is a part of the US Telecom Carriers Association agreement

32:04 So this is across the board. So it's not new, it's just someone saw T-Mobile update their terms of service and they went on freak out mode. Shaft isn't... It is a real acronym. Yeah, it is called Shaft? Yes, sex hate alcohol firearms tobacco but it's not between users. It is for the A2P application so if you pay T-Mobile to text people, you know such as Governor Greg Abbott does to me. That's what an A2P application is and so they've set rules in place for what you can basically spam people... For the automated systems? Yes! Yeah for advertisers? Yes exactly this is nothing new I mean I love the SHAFT acronym that's funny

32:52 Yeah, it's pretty dubious. This is in Canada... No! I have all the documents. It'd be... No, I'm just saying why would you come up with an acronym like that? Well that somebody having a drink at the meeting and having some fun obviously But it has nothing to do with your text messages to your friends or anything like that, but everyone flies off the handle. Yeah but hey! Hey! Hey! It could happen... No, but here's the joke of it focus on that you numb nuts The government has everything you send anyway who are you kidding? It's published, it's known. The NSA has every single text message a recording of every phone call. Yeah, big giant farm down in Utah... no its Denver All they have to do is just type in your number and up comes all your information People are so stupid! And everyone's freaking out about this Nobody ever complains about this of course

33:48 Isn't that beautiful? And of course I'm sure AT&T and Verizon are loving it. Oh yeah, cancel T-Mobile we're the good guys shh don't tell anybody. It's hilarious how just everyone freaks out over this and to propagate no one took three seconds to read what it was about and this is from No Agenda people too Well, in that vein... In that vein. The Missouri versus Biden lawsuit this has gone to the Supreme Court this is about the government telling social media companies to censor posts to take accounts down particularly during COVID and of course during Trump and we expected there would be some amicus brief over this

34:42 Well, there were 19 amicus briefs and two actually in support of the government. Explain what that is to people who don't know? So an amicus brief In this case, the Supreme Court is eventually probably a couple years down the road is going to make a decision and say you know what? The government really...the Biden administration specifically but also parts of the Trump administration violated your First Amendment right as the government by telling commercial companies threatening them You better take that down or we just might have to do something about section 203 and that might ruin your business. So, that of course is a blatant violation of the First Amendment. An amicus brief is interested parties who for whatever reason have an interest in this process either never happening again or continuing to happen so they send in a friend-of-the-court letter, amicus brief

35:47 So we have two that are all for it. They think it's really good, including the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Common Cause and Leadership, the Conference on Civil and Human Rights. They said they suggest the First Amendment exists to allow the government to protect its own people from harassment and to prevent private citizens from making false statements. They actually put that into an amicus brief and sent it to the Supreme Court Wow. Then, no surprise this group the American Academy of Pediatrics American Medical Association American Academy of Family Physicians American College of Physicians and American Geriatric Society

36:31 They say, well they according to our constitutional lawyer Rob this brief takes no position on whether the government improperly coerced the platforms. It addresses only whether that coercion actually violated the First Amendment that is whether Biden and Co had a compelling interest to squash private citizen speech it argues that a compelling interest indeed existed because approved vaccines are safe and effective! Can you believe it? Yeah, I can't. The audacity! They just never let up. They see the lawsuits looming and this no no we're gonna keep this going. I just find it amazing that they say these things anyway There are people...I think the majority of the public as a matter of fact

37:25 that will believe to the death, which could be any minute for them. That the vaccines are safe and effective? Yeah yeah that psyop worked very well. Oh beautiful! In fact I have a report here...yeah this is short one just to prove your point short one From the flu to COVID it's that time of year when more people get sick but a new study reveals the biggest risk for children RSV Researchers found kids are far more likely to be hospitalized for RSV than for the flu or COVID. The study looked at nearly 2,600 children and found kids with RSV were 11 times more likely to be hospitalized than kids with COVID. The CDC says the study confirms the importance of vaccines." So the study is not about vaccines it just confirms vaccines are important your CDC! The people who supposed to protect you

38:24 No, they're not gonna protect you. That react clip put a smile on my face. Yeah I'm glad it did Hey just to wrap this up well it's kind of back and forth here but as of January 1st Mickey Mouse the original Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse will finally enter the public domain then people are thinking this is great we're going do all kinds of stuff with Mickey Mouse and I'm thinking you better not You bet. Don't send in art with Mickey Mouse, we're not gonna do it... We're not going to use it that's for sure No because Disney will come after you no matter how much... This is the way it works isn't your Disney got a 20-year extension which was twenty years ago on Mickey Mouse and they did that through all kinds of lobbyists In fact wasn't it Sonny Bono?

39:14 Who helped Disney extend that copyright? It could be wouldn't surprise me. I think it was and then they killed him That's probably the reason that just any bonus not in the rock and roll Hall of Fame How does that work no, there's a good point. That's Waller. I think isn't if there's all these rappers They're in rock and roll quote-unquote ABBA ABBAs in the right you kidding me No, I'm not kidding any bonos not and share is not are you sure about that? Oh Oh yeah, because the reason I say it is because Cher was just on The Kelly Clarkson Show moaning and groaning about it. And now she says if they give her a million bucks she won't accept it. Wow She's quite pissed off about it. I can't believe what you're watching! Yes, Cher slams Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for snub. Snub! Trying to keep up with the culture unlike you. Oh okay... Well I'm glad your doing that

40:10 Yes, that's why I'm complaining about things. It's safe and effective. I'm not happy! Cher snubbed... And then of course there was the guitar player what's his name? The right wing guy who never got it for some unknown reason Ted Nugent should if anybody is a rock-and-roll guy it's Ted Nugent It's corrupt. He won't even accept it anymore, he won't accept it. Well why would you? You've already been snubbed! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in the day when I was a kid back in the MTV days late 80s and the very early 90s...it was a real thing. It was at the Waldorf Astoria New York. It was private there were no television cameras allowed inside. It was not videotaped we didn't

40:58 We didn't have cell phone cameras. You could bring in your Instamatic, you know? Remember those with a little flash cube on top and it was great everybody was dressed up in In tuxedos, you know. Phil Spector before he was arrested and died. Mick Jagger would all be eating rubber chicken and pretending, oh a rubber chicken that's good. And it was really nice! And Paul Schaefer from Letterman's band... He would organize an actual jam which was a jam, it was unrehearsed

41:35 And all these guys just jumped on stage and played along and had a good time. Those days are over! Yeah, oh definitely now it's like it's a show, It's on HBO, It's highly produced... No Republicans! There is no Nugent, no Sonny Bono, no Cher. The end it's the end its shadow of what it used to be you and you had to pay $2,000 a seat It was the old days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so guys would buy a table you know 20 grand for 10 people but I got invited though I got invited that way. Yeah, I'm sure you did You didn't have two thousand to throw away Nope No, I've gotten a fight with Ray David's busy suing everybody no that was before those time they sued me first Okay, sue me first They it was unfair you had no other people who have done the same thing what?

42:29 Well, John Markoff for example got NYT.com before the New York Times knew what the hell was going on and then they let it slide forever and then all of a sudden they kind of wanted it because he caved, he wasn't like you No, they didn't ask. If they had asked me I would have said okay can just have adam at mtv.com could just keep the email alias but they didn't asked me they served me papers on a Saturday morning and I said you know what screw you i'm gonna counter sue you Then I did and then we said then we said what they did and I hate to use the word because I'm condemned for Cussing too much that sounds like there are a bunch of chicken shits. Yeah, no that's how you can use that word That's fine this one They were and it was the whole thing it was dumb. It was just dumb but that was this lawyers Lawyers got too many lawyers sorry lawyers But we got too many of ya

43:28 Well, not the ones who listen to our show. No we have those are good lawyers obviously They're all good lawyers or dynamite lawyer We have some tremendous high- You know what else we have? We have a bunch of Navy guys Yeah And including and I have some we want to talk about Fat Leonard for a second. Oh, you got the note be careful to Protect know I've got three notes Okay protect all their identities because somebody's got three notes Well this one is he's only so much protection Because she's actually if he's the knight of the deep blue sea and I think that's all we need to say yeah He says, hi John I'm a Navy Supply Corps officer. The Fat Leonard scandal took down several high-ranking supply corps officers about a decade ago by the way i started looking into this and people should go look at the fat leonard entry in the wikipedia and you can see the whole timeline And it starts with Paul Wolfowitz Oh really? And the Bush administration and he goes right into about halfway through the first Obama administration

44:31 And it's disgusting. 60 admirals were involved, or somehow involved 60 admirals! Where are they? This is an untold scandal How come that didn't... I don't remember any news about that Of course not it was suppressed My favorite story was a lieutenant who was the supply officer on a submarine. When a ship pulls into a foreign port, the ship sends a logistics request called the log wreck to shore to ask for all of things it needs. Things like the brow to walk across, shoreline power lines mooring lines etc. This one particular supply officer would ask for certain flavors of cheesecake which was code for hookers! Cheesecake and pizza? Lemon cheesecake meant Asian girls chocolate meant black girls etc. No way! You get the idea

45:27 This guy would sign the invoices for trash removal, water delivery, sanitary... this was by the way this is one of three or four notes we've gotten from these different Navy guys. And they all say the same thing! They all knew this was going on sewer remover, et cetera for amounts that were in excess of what was actually removed or delivered to pay for his hookers. Hotel room, et cetera, et cetera. He even had Fat Leonard fly his family out to some ports as a vacation. Nice! There was a tonne of malfeasance going on back then. Yeah I got a note here about women in booze fur coats Rolex watches concert tickets It's like a media buyer And heres whats weird about it to me

46:08 is these Navy guys, officers many of them but a lot of officers. They can't get their own damn hookers? I mean they're sailors and they can't find a whore?! Give me a break! Didn't want to pay for him Well... Okay well there's that. That's pretty... okay well since we've gone lewd I don't know what's lewd about it. This scandal is so enormous and has been so covered up in the media, although The Washington Post did a really good job on it and they just named names and they named some of the admirals that are still looking at them to probably bring them in most of the admirals have retired but how does this happen?

46:53 This is like the biggest breach. And when you read about it in that wiki page, it's disgusting! I think the question is how come this is the only one we've uncovered? I'm sure there's others and this is why the Pentagon needs to be... Ah, audited. Good luck with that! They can't audit the Pentagon they can't audit the Navy This is a- The taxpayers are getting ripped off on a daily basis in fact I had a clip on a couple shows ago I didn't play it It's the uh what's it called?

47:29 Festivus report, in fact look up Festivus and you'll find it. This is the report that Rand Paul likes to bring out every year and it's about government waste and he cites a bunch of government wastes. I have three clips from past Festivus? See if we can figure out which one is about the report. This one I think. Festivus is back! No not that one. That's the ISO. Would it be it would be called Festivus because I'm looking at festivis and I don't I thought it was called Festivus No, doesn't seem or look for Ram Paul. Maybe isn't that? Yeah Anyway he without enough figure it out have it. I'll bring it back to the next Sunday show Okay if I can find it but they this is This goes on forever and nobody seems to care

48:24 No. And then, you know your taxes go up and you're just throwing money at hookers As I said as we're being lewd let's listen to a caller from C-SPAN Democrat Line Ryan is also from California Democrats line Hi Pedro, yeah this is Ryan from California. I want to be bipartisan and you guys gave some grades a couple weeks back and i never got in but I'd like to give an A to my brothers in the Republican Party and um...I think the Democratic

49:08 Party has gotten a little crazy, and I think in some ways they're trying to destroy this country So i'm glad for their checks and balances not like to give them an A for doing that, even though they haven't been very productive. It's checks and balances. That's how this country works in the Constitution works but I also want to give my Democrats credit too and I want to give them an A in the Senate for doing anal, doing the butt. Hey it's a viewer there in California Shaggy Dog he held on a long time You should have seen the guy's face on C-Span. The C-Span guys had to put up with this

49:54 I thought that was a banger. That was great! You know he wasn't a Democrat from California? No, of course not. He's some joker Now this is something quite serious because this may affect a lot of things A question came up during a town hall on CNN for Nikki Haley And now this is the CNN report about it, and of course it's edited to make her look even worse than it was. But not only did she blow it on this I think this is a question that we will see coming back time and time again for

50:35 For every Republican candidate for any office, this will be the question. What was the cause of the United States Civil War? Well, don't come with an easy question or anything. I mean, I think the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run—the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do

49:54 I thought that was a banger. That was great! You know he wasn't a Democrat from California? No, of course not. He's some joker Now this is something quite serious because this may affect a lot of things A question came up during a town hall on CNN for Nikki Haley And now this is the CNN report about it, and of course it's edited to make her look even worse than it was. But not only did she blow it on this I think this is a question that we will see coming back time and time again for

50:35 For every Republican candidate for any office, this will be the question. What was the cause of the United States Civil War? Well, don't come with an easy question or anything. I mean, I think the cause of the civil war was basically how government was going to run—the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do

51:22 What do you think the cause of the Civil War was? Oh, bad move. I'm sorry? Basically slavery. I mean, it always comes down to the role of government. Dope here it comes! What do you want me to say about slavery? Next question. She's done, she's toast! Toast! Now you bring this up once in a while on the show I want to refer people to a book called The Causes of the Civil War I think is yes that's the title by Kenneth Stamp STAMPP Kenneth Stampp was professor at Cal

52:16 And he was an expert on the topic and he wrote a book which discusses this in great detail based on what people were saying at the time, since then. It's quite enlightening because there is more than one reason. The slavery is definitely in there But it's not the key reason, at least in this book. And I would and it will educate you somewhat but you have to... In today's world if you're running for president You have to say slavery Yes period whether true or not and so go to the Kenneth Stamp Book and you'll get a good education Well I have an abbreviation of The Kenneth Stamp Book

52:56 which might be helpful. The Civil War grew out of long-standing tensions and disagreements about American life and politics, by the way we have to understand that at the time slavery was normal you know it's very difficult for people to transport their head into that today For more than 80 years people in the northern and southern states have been debating the issues that ultimately led to war economic policies and practices cultural values the extent and reach of the federal government, and most importantly the role of slavery within American society. Against the backdrop of these larger issues individual soldiers had their own reasons for fighting. Their motivations often included a complex mix of personal social economic and political values that didn't necessarily match the aims expressed by the respective governments

53:45 And, you know there was a succession. There's a lot of stuff that went on but if you don't just... and I think we should as the Creative Aura Consulting Group, I think we should have an answer that Republicans can use because they're gonna fail on this every single time. Well if they take her approach, of course they are! Shouldn't they just say well Democrats at the time and that's how it started off with? Well Democrats like slavery that's how I would start yeah well That's beautiful. Yes going in consulting mode is absolutely the way to start it Yeah you gotta stay... Is the Democrat dominated South which we're all in on slaves as the Democrats are to this day but maybe you can go that far

54:26 easy boy you can get close yes they like to keep the black population under the underfoot yes this is the answer I mean any version of that is how you want to answer the question and then you can say yeah but you should just start off by saying well we all know at the time the Democrats loved slavery and they wanted to keep it going there were other things at play And then you just go on, and then it doesn't matter what you say from that point on. It would be perfect but there's no refuting that And Lincoln was our president, our Republican president. He had to bring in a Republican which was the new party at the time to fight... To fix things! To fix racist Democrats! Yeah you could definitely create a dialogue that would be dynamite but no I mean Vick Ramaswamy would probably go in that direction but

55:24 She's flat-footed. She's no good toast man I think she's toast over that one, I think so too There's just and she can't get anything done now She just and then when she says what would you like me to say about slave? That thought why don't you give me any question Oh my god who is running her campaign well it's fired Mr.. Fired oh, yeah, let's clip here This is off the top off topic But it brings in two it bring some two clips okay This is the sewage test around schools clip. New Mexico is one of the very first states in the US to have started drug testing its public schools' wastewater for a range of opioids and stimulants. A Wall Street Journal report looks into some of the data released earlier this month, out of more than three dozen high schools cocaine was found in nearly 82% of campus communities and many schools also detected opioids like fentanyl oxycodone and codeine

54:26 easy boy you can get close yes they like to keep the black population under the underfoot yes this is the answer I mean any version of that is how you want to answer the question and then you can say yeah but you should just start off by saying well we all know at the time the Democrats loved slavery and they wanted to keep it going there were other things at play And then you just go on, and then it doesn't matter what you say from that point on. It would be perfect but there's no refuting that And Lincoln was our president, our Republican president. He had to bring in a Republican which was the new party at the time to fight... To fix things! To fix racist Democrats! Yeah you could definitely create a dialogue that would be dynamite but no I mean Vick Ramaswamy would probably go in that direction but

55:24 She's flat-footed. She's no good toast man I think she's toast over that one, I think so too There's just and she can't get anything done now She just and then when she says what would you like me to say about slave? That thought why don't you give me any question Oh my god who is running her campaign well it's fired Mr.. Fired oh, yeah, let's clip here This is off the top off topic But it brings in two it bring some two clips okay This is the sewage test around schools clip. New Mexico is one of the very first states in the US to have started drug testing its public schools' wastewater for a range of opioids and stimulants. A Wall Street Journal report looks into some of the data released earlier this month, out of more than three dozen high schools cocaine was found in nearly 82% of campus communities and many schools also detected opioids like fentanyl oxycodone and codeine

56:26 The author of that article, Sarah Randazzo joins us now. Great to have you here Sarah and this is pretty shocking stuff talk to us about this wastewater testing technique and how does it work? How common is this in the US we really started hearing about it most since the pandemic It was used to detect upticks in COVID. I don't know if you remember seeing, oh wastewater showing there could be a surge here and so it was used for diseases like that and then now the US is starting to realize we can do the same wastewater technique to look for drug use. And New Mexico is one of the first places I found doing this in public schools and they literally are testing anything thats flushed down

57:03 you know, to be just frank about it. And so it could be from students, it could be from adults in the building. But over the course of an eight hour period they take multiple measures at each campus and then look for a whole range of drugs from that. I have a feeling that we discussed this very thing happening Yeah, I think we might have. It started with... it makes nothing but sense! It started with oh we're just testing the wastewater to see if you have COVID and now they're drug testing yeah And then eventually go house by house. Interestingly a report just came out in the EU an EU report i should say it's a worldwide report about and this is also from uh I believe it's from wastewater testing actually

57:50 worst cocaine habits in by country. So who do you think is number one, the number one country that uses the most cocaine according to this report? It should be us and I'm disappointed if it's not. Oh no we're no bro! We're number five! Five oh man we've fallen on everything You will not believe who by a wide margin By 40 percent and this is The last 12 months amongst people aged 15-64 Give me the top 5 Number I'll give you know, I'm doing a reverse or it actually I'll give you to do it in reverse order I see. I'll give you the top two account down Let me give you number 10 we have coming in with their frog pants France at number 9 Croatia

58:39 Number eight, Canada. Sniffing and snorted up north! And then no surprise the drug capital of the European Union The Netherlands! And then of course where all our money goes instead to taxes Ireland! And then number one two three...number five The United States followed very closely, beaten by just a hair...a nose hair. By Spain! And now comes the interesting top three Can you give me one of the top three of the most cocaine users in the world? How about Denmark No man, Denmark's got the legal stuff

59:26 They're all on SSRIs. They don't need coke. Okay, I'm just gonna... UK! Number two! UK number two! Number three is Austria? Number one can you guess by a margin of 40% more drug users than the United Kingdom what country? Germany No one is guessing it in the troll room no one has it. I was blown away okay hit it Australia Wow, a bunch of coked out. I wouldn't have guessed that either. Coked out. Just coked up kangaroos man by 40% margin ever since they took away the guns Oh man well we're screwed all right let's have another toot yeah but i feel good so uh... I have one more sewage store since that obviously came from that

1:00:28 And this one is something I think we should be aware of, it's the fake meat story. It just made meat from your number two. Japanese scientists have developed a method to create edible steaks from human feces. Unbelievable? Well, it's happening. Mitsuyuki Aikida, a researcher at the Okayama Laboratory collaborated with Tokyo Sewage to address sewage mud excess. They discovered the content in the mud contains high protein due to bacteria so the team isolated and combined these proteins with a reaction enhancer result synthetic steak. Yum! The meat comprises of 63% protein, 25% carbs 3% lipids and 9% minerals and it's visually enhanced with food coloring for a red hue and improved flavor using soy protein

1:01:17 Where'd that come from? That's a great report. Tick tock. Okay, well there is a lot of talk about California now approving wastewater recycle. Yes it's a big story I've had some clips I don't think I haven't any today but they're approving the use of toilet water waste water in other words sewage the liquid in the sewage to refine it to make drinking water. They've started already in some areas where they're using it for lawns and outdoor use, although you can't really tell how you separate the pipes. As a resident of California what is your feeling about this development? I drink bottled water! Yeah, bet you do! I was always under the impression that they were already doing that

1:02:10 That's what I thought too in some areas for but mostly for agriculture use. I didn't know that they were gonna try to make people drink it well you're hard up man wait not really it's raining quite a bit around here, yeah But I'd say this that they want us to drink our own pee and and basically each It's like hello Hello California uber allis Hey, and the way California goes. Oh yeah the rest of the country goes I don't think so oh Yeah, although in that new Civil War movie it is Texas and California joining forces oddly Which makes no sense somehow somehow that happens Let's just get the obligatory orange man bad story out of the way

1:03:02 MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell. On Christmas Day, a 77-year old criminal defendant facing racketeering charges That's, that's it. It's gone from what is it the president with twice impeached or twice impeached 90 times? Nine nine times indicted now and now it just has gone down to this on Christmas Day ages by the way a 77 year old criminal defendant facing racketeering charges and other felonies in four jurisdictions said that his prosecutors should rot in hell. And unlike every other criminal defendant who has said that, he didn't mumble it to himself bitterly alone in his jail cell. Lawrence O'Donnell deserves a goat for this awaiting trial. He didn't say it angrily to a cellmate. He set it through the reach of social media to the world and while he was at into the world

1:04:03 But he said the President of the United States should rot in hell. The 77-year old criminal defendant is also the leading Republican candidate for president of the United States, thanks to the inexplicable political perversion of most Republican Party voters who have chosen to support a man who has described himself as being perverse. That was his word. Donald Trump is now the first former president in history to say that any other American president, including the slave owners should rot in hell. There is no evidence- I doubt it! That Donald Trump believes that there is a hell. Oh he did the there's no evidence bit hold on. It was kind of good he did that. Including the slave owners should rot in hell

1:04:50 There is no evidence that Donald Trump believes that there is a hell or that there is a God. He obviously has not lived a single day of his life based on a belief in hell or god and there's no decision he ever made- That's not true! In his life, that can be traced to a belief in hell or god. That is blatantly false Not only that, but it's scandalous. Yes well it's almost done But that does not render Donald Trumps condemnation of President Biden to hell harmless because the only way Donald Trumps most fervent Christian followers believe Joe Biden can burn in hell is if he is dead Wow I think you consider that a threat Of course it is That's what he's trying to make Trump into but he's the one who said it

1:05:44 Well, from that same operation let's listen to the supercut of what people think is going to happen with Trump second term. Ooh hold on a second here we go What would a second Donald Trump term look like? You can't imagine the things that he's going to do and you know we played this like three episodes ago I hate-I don't care-hate to be a douchebag about it I don't remember the one part in this if that's true What would a second Donald Trump term look like You can't imagine the things that he's going to do. And shoot visitors to the White House! Yeah, that means he can shoot the First Lady We're gonna see violence of the likes which we didn't even see on January 6th Make it illegal to run against him To throw his opponents in jail To shut down the media He will make himself into the Führer Using martial law against the American people Create mass internment camps

1:06:35 throw everyone into Gitmo. Assassinate generals, ordering troops to attack American citizens. Trump's very well armed and extremist base will try to kill people. He is going to basically burn the house down. The absolute destruction of the Justice Department as we know it. A vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in Now I don't remember anyone saying he's gonna shoot the first lady. Yeah, that was in the original. It's alright. Well maybe we didn't play it? We did play it! Okay if you played it for some reason...I can't imagine me not remembering that he is going to shoot the first lady

1:07:19 So we have the updates on Trump here. This is Trump ballot Smith, etc on NTD special counsel Jack Smith is trying to limit evidence and arguments that Trump can make before the jury in his federal trial related to the January 6th related case prompted Prosecutors claim that Trump has tried to spread irrelevant disinformation and will try to politicize the trial. Specifically, Smith is concerned that Trump will distract the jury by making claims of political prosecution such as raising the question as to whether or not this legal case against Trump was launched in coordination with the Biden administration or the question of whether or not there were undercover agents present at the Capitol on January 6th

1:08:02 or questions of alleged foreign interference in the 2020 presidential election. All of these topics, Jack Smith wants to be off limits at that trial which is what he's asking of the DC judge Meanwhile proceedings in this case are currently on hold because of an appeal over whether or not presidential immunity applies in this case Meanwhile, Michigan's Supreme Court today did rule that Trump can stay on the ballot in that state rejecting an appeal to try to disqualify him. Michigan's court stated that they would not review the question as to whether or not Trump should be disqualified based on accusations that he incited and insurrection this is the exact opposite from that Colorado ruling which will likely go to the Supreme Court we can expect to see

1:08:47 several other rulings on this issue coming out over the coming weeks and months as there are challenges to Trump's candidacy in several other states. Yeah, I'm glad everyone has something to argue about that's all and that's all this is just all publicity the way i see it yeah of course trump of course it is this is different than the last time only this time it's like you did it just makes everything look unfair Part two of this clip talks about what California is up to. California Governor Gavin Newsom reacted to efforts from a top state official trying to bar former President Donald Trump from the state's ballot. This comes after the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump should be dismissed from the Colorado ballot for the 2024 election, they say he violated Section 3 of the U.S Constitution 14th Amendment

1:09:39 A majority of justices on the state court ruled that he engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States under their reading of the provision. The decision has triggered more efforts across the United States, including in California to disqualify Trump from appearing on ballots in 2024 But In a statement issued on December 22nd Newsom told his fellow Democrats that he believes that in California we defeat candidates at the polls referring to lawsuits against President Trump and that everything else is a political distraction. Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, who was running for governor as a Democrat in 2026 sent a letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber urging her to find legal ways to remove Trump's name from the state's ballot

1:10:24 The letter reads, based on the Colorado Supreme Court's ruling I urge you to explore every legal option to remove former President Donald Trump from California 2024 presidential primary ballot. Meanwhile Senator Dave Minn also a Democrat announced that he would introduce a measure to allow residents of the state to file lawsuits to block candidates who are deemed ineligible. Oh man! Not that California matters we know what they're going to vote Yeah, and the election's rigged here anyway. Which is the reason I think... because I heard that Newsom was all in on the idea of knocking him off the ballot now all of a sudden he's not because I think somebody went up to him and said hey what difference does it make? Yeah right makes no difference and he can play the high ground but again it's like you know I don't care who's gonna win no one's gonna come in and save the world

1:11:18 You know that's the bad part of this. Oh if Trump gets elected then we're all saved no More for you more years of agony and I always like to say hey if you let Trump win the second term he'd be out For good, I mean I'm thinking now that How about this for a scenario? We want Trump to win because the financial system is going to blow up eventually. Why not pull the plug, pull it! Pull it just before Trump is elected let him deal with it Well I think that may be exactly what's going on with the migration crisis Oh you're so right that's a good point Because it is just out of control

1:12:10 And everyone sees it. Everyone, yeah even the Democrats are irked oh the Democrats are here I have this is a i'm sure you have clips this is a the Democrat mayors of the sanctuary cities had a zoom call And they all got, they had a Zoom call. Yeah they had a zoom call everybody got on the call and they're all bitching and moaning We need to federal government to invest but we also need to make sure that the governor of Texas does not take his animosity on the rest of the country Mayor Johnson joined New York mayor Eric Adams and Denver mayor Mike Johnston On a joint call with members of the media this afternoon Yes at this point now have

1:12:50 more migrant arrivals to our city than any city in America per capita. And that is not because there is a thoughtful or coordinated strategy to entry, it's because we are the first big city north of El Paso and cheapest bus ticket and the shortest trip." The mayor of Denver says the city has received 35 thousand migrants since the crisis began in 2022 compared to more than 26 thousand in Chicago and more than 150 thousand in New York. Just a few weeks ago Governor Abbott promised in an additional 25,000 migrants to New York City alone. We learned New York City is adopting a similar ordinance Chicago passed last month requiring migrant buses give advance notice before arriving and only do drop-offs Monday through Friday at a designated location. New York limiting those hours between 8am to noon. Chicago's ordinance extends that drop off time until 5pm

1:13:45 Buses that don't comply here are cited and a couple of them have been impounded. Migrants from Texas also arriving at Chicago's airports. Sending planes to Chicago or anywhere else that are funded by the government, this government of Texas. These private planes without a manifest without knowing who's on the plane without knowing what's on the plane is not just reckless it's dangerous." The mayors all described shelter spaces at capacity and a strain on city budgets pushing for a list of demands from the feds including authorized work permits. It will crush city budgets around the country as we know we're looking at about

1:14:26 $60 million of potential costs going into next year's budget. That's almost 10% of our entire city budget." Asking for federal financial help and better coordination to manage the flow of migrants from the southern border. We have spoken to FEMA and other federal officials who have expressed concern about the border surge but not offered additional help we need action, and we need it now Yeah, there you go. We're the baddies of course with the bad guys who are the bad guys we send it over even though supposedly You're the bad guys or Texas referring to yes It's still a it's only like 10% of what is happening in New York the rest at the US government sending him up Yes, yeah getting blamed for nothing really but people are seeing it they're at the airports this they're seeing that they have chaperones That's I would be what's name of that company again ie d

1:15:20 They're, you know they're contracted to help these people through TSA. They got paperwork everything's all set it's all good to go and I mean it's crazy and everyone sees it now and they just let keep letting it go they could stop it today But why don't they? I think this is part of the reason. Two Pizza Hut franchises are laying off more than 1,200 in-house delivery drivers in California and they are actually eliminating the service. They're preparing for the new law that will raise employee wages to $20 an hour starting in April. The layoffs will affect hundreds of stores in Orange Los Angeles Riverside and San Bernardino and Ventura counties To get orders customers will need use third party delivery apps like DoorDash Uber Eats and Grubhub

1:16:10 We need cheap people to deliver our food. We need cheap people that clean the homes, toilets we need slaves That's what it is These people are cynical Well, I don't know how many cheap people we need. Let's go to migration report about...I got two of them here let's do the NTD one first. Okay. This is N T D Secretary of State Antony Blinken Wow same cadence did you hear that? I love that guy. N-T-D! This is NTD Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas are in Mexico City on Wednesday They're seeking the support of Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in tackling the immigration crisis The two are expected to bring up a number of requests including moving migrants south, controlling the railways that are used by migrants to move north

1:17:07 and providing visas and other incentives for migrants to stay in Mexico. This comes as new footage this week shows migrants making fires, and sleeping between train cars in Mexico They often travel on top of the train to not get caught by Mexican authorities Mexican migration authorities get us off the buses. If we're about to reach the border, we are returned to southern Mexico for no apparent reason. How are we supposed to move forward? We have to get on a train." However, sometimes Mexican authorities don't stop the migrants. An issue the American delegation might address at Wednesday's meeting. Shortly before the meeting President Obrador said that US should be investing in poor people in Latin America and the Caribbean instead of putting up barriers barbed wire fences in the river or thinking about building walls

1:17:59 Meanwhile in the US, the Democratic mayor of Eagle Pass Texas says the U.S should start deporting people adding that the problem starts with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris not taking a stand on this issue It's very disappointing that they haven't made that message themselves That you can come into this country illegally one And second yes of course there has to be a consequence To somebody breaking the law People know that they're processing them quick. That's why they keep coming so until we start deporting people in large Amounts this will continue to keep going He adds that the influx of immigrants is causing crime in his city to rise now Contrast that report and you can play the Amy Goodman morning Amy Goodman clip inbound

1:18:51 U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Homeland Security Adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall are meeting today with Mexican President AMLO—that's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador—in Mexico City. Blinken is preparing to discuss what his office has described as border security challenges and, quote, unprecedented irregular migration in the Western Hemisphere," unquote. Andrés Manuel López Obrador is expected to call again for the Biden administration to lift sanctions against Cuba and Venezuela, which AMLO says has driven an increase in migration. This comes as a caravan with over 6,000 migrants are heading towards the U.S.-Mexico border. Some participants in the caravan are holding banners that read, quote, exodus from poverty, unquote

1:19:42 Other caravan participants said they're fleeing violence at home. This is Jose Santos from Honduras. I came here escaping from the MS-13 criminal gang, I worked as a security guard. MS 13 asked us for money but we didn't have any. They wanted our ammunition but as guards we only received a limited amount of ammunition and they threatened to kill me not once but three times. I was scared so i decided to come to Mexico hoping I'll be allowed to go to the US In related news, CNN's reporting more than 11,000 people seeking refuge in the United States are waiting in shelters and camps on the Mexican side of the border. I had a conversation with Mo about this yesterday he had an interesting take on the large amount of what they call men of military age

1:20:33 Yeah, which you know in here in Texas the the meme is they're gonna They're gonna kill us from inside. They got big enough have an whole army here and they're gonna kill us here But most take was interesting He said no No, no, he said we want these men because that will be your path to citizenship We can't get anyone too far going to put him in it. We can't get people in our own Army Join exactly bring a man you get a citizenship This isn't a deal that was started some time back. Under Obama I think, wasn't it? I think maybe before that there was a lot of these guys as you...I think during the Iraq war this may go back further and I think it was like you come over here you're here you you're going to the army for two years and fight in Iraq yeah and you'll get a citizenship and ther's is a bunch of people that did that oh yeah

1:21:24 Yeah, this and it's possible that we're loading up cuz bring him in and then suit them up and send them off This is what Russia does if you note the Ukraine They were always talking about how they were bringing all these guys in from all over the place To put on a Russian uniform and go into Ukraine. Yeah Well the same for the same for Ukraine Ukraine brought there's a lot of American mercenaries getting killed over there Fight, fight. It's a mess I have a couple of clips here this is ABC Tonight, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arriving in Mexico City pressing Mexico's president for help with the migrant surge at the border. Joined by DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Sources telling ABC News that the Biden administration planned to push Mexico to step up immigration enforcement within their country

1:22:17 help reopen key ports of entry, and encourage migrants to stay in Mexico. The urgent meeting coming as border officials brace for this caravan of migrants an estimated 6,000 people pushing through southern Mexico towards an overwhelmed US border December now on track to have the highest number of Border Patrol apprehensions ever according to CBP data. Several days this month seeing more than 10,000 apprehensions Overnight, a plane carrying over 180 migrants from Texas diverted to Philadelphia due to weather issues. The group later packed on buses and transported to New York City. Tonight Mayor Eric Adams now requiring those buses to provide 32-hour notice before arriving in the city and urging the federal government

1:23:13 step up. I think TRT had a good report. mayor they've touched off, they just want to get in. America's top diplomat Secretary of State Antony Blinken was among US officials who met with Mexican President Andres Obrador on Wednesday there are some ideas the U.S is pressing Mexico on keeping or moving migrants farther south in Mexico

1:24:12 away from the U.S. border, providing migrants with visas to give them an incentive to stay in Mexico but Mexico doesn't have the resources or infrastructure that the US has to handle the influx this month alone the number of migrants crossing the border has sometimes exceeded 10 thousand in one day The u.s is occasionally closing international bridges between the two nations as a way to pressure mexico to do more But both nations get hurt economically when those bridges close. New York City, where thousands of migrants arrive each week is so overwhelmed the mayor is now putting limits on how long migrants can stay in shelters creating panic They told me that this country was different but no

1:24:58 I tell my son, enjoy the hotel. We have a roof right now. They're going to send us away and we are going to be sleeping in the train or on the streets." And my son started to cry and I said let's have faith. Mexican President Obrador says he wants to help but also wants to see the U.S make diplomatic progress with Cuba and Venezuela where most migrants are coming from along with more development aid for the region. Proof that this is no longer a border crisis, but a hemisphere one. A hemisphere crisis? Well I don't know but all i see is...

1:25:36 You got a problem with the war, America will pay for it. It be in Israel that will pay for Europe Ukraine we will pay for it you got crap going on your economy come on over here and take care of it How did that happen? And its not just from South American countries no there's entire...we talked about this Tour travel agencies popping up online and for some Africa for Somalians. Hey, we'll get you to the American We'll get you to the border no worries And this was a perfect perfect example of it grounded at the battery Airport tarmac for 24 hours an Airbus A340 was transporting over 300 Indian passengers

1:26:18 All of them held in the airport, suspected to be part of a human trafficking network with investigations ongoing. Two men possessing cash and several passports are currently in custody The plane left the UAE yesterday for technical stop in France and was supposed take off to the capital of Nicaragua Yeah so they go into Nicaragua And then bus get on the bus go up to the border come on in Everybody gets paid everybody's great And it's the United Nations Office of Immigration, International Office of Migration who are just supporting this. Yeah and with our money! The United States gives our money to the UN to make these things happen We need some auditing we're getting ripped off Yes

1:27:12 But this is coming to a head. I mean, this just has to end! People are not going to take it anymore. New Yorkers are getting fed up Chicagoans are getting fed up You can only say Texas no good for so long All Texas' fault That's all the mayor says Oh its Texas' inhumane horrible Greg Abbott if he wasn't in a wheelchair kick his ass It's just, it's I mean and so do you think that this is part of the let's do this and leave it all to Trump? Along with the... I'm beginning to think so because the Democrats seem to sense that they can't get Biden off the ticket.

1:27:57 Because he's just not gonna go off the ticket and he has to, you know... They have to defer so they're gonna have to leave him on the tickets. So he's gonna be under with Kamala and that means she's going to die in office probably in two or three years And then she's gonna be president is a nightmare! But they don't want that. They're not nuts. And so they're gonna let Trump and the Republicans kind of win there probably take keep the house I don't know how this sentence is gonna go but whatever the case is Trump had the House and Senate last time it didn't do him any good And because he's a bonehead, he's not a good president in terms of his ability to run things. He hires the wrong people that come the Council on Foreign Relations folk are running the place anyway. The media is all over him. You can't do anything. He's no good yet but they're going to put at least it'll put the Republicans and then they can take take it up up to shorts for

1:28:50 Oh, now they got to deal with this and they got to deal with that. And they gotta do it like you said there will be an economic downturn. You call it a financial event is what I'm calling it? Well, you can call whatever you want but that should take place in 2025 not next year but the year after. There you go according to the cycles. It could be triggered a little earlier would that would be fun Well, whatever. Well for the show maybe except for the donation segment. The whole thing is leading to let them... Let the Republicans take it in their shorts for all this that we're doing and let's just pour in more migrants don't do anything about it and you know see what happens Yeah meanwhile there's an entire generation of young people

1:29:41 Certainly in the United States who are being taught to hate America Yeah, they hate it for being colonialist You know no more realism. No good one no good this is have you ever heard of? Turtle Island For some reason I have I can't tell you what I would I've heard but I have heard of turtle island turtle Island Let me see I have it here turtle Island is a I'll read it from the Wikipedia. Turtle Island is the name for Earth or North America used by some indigenous peoples as well as by indigenous rights activists. You're right, you're right! I have heard it but only recently like in the last couple of weeks Right so I only heard it today and I hear this University of Minnesota professor

1:30:30 Right, the one that went off the rails. Yeah Yes exactly! So there's indigenous peoples on the stage they're talking about Israel and of course how horrible America is for funding them and genociding the Palestinians And so we get a couple terms here One is the Turtle Island and the other one I think is interesting Land Back! But land back is going to happen That's going to happen, the indigenous perspective in Turtle Island and how we understand what is also happening in Palestine. And what we really want you to take away tonight is as Anthony said, we're in the belly of the beast right? We're all indigenous people who come from nations that are under occupation by the United States government and of course the US bankrolls on the Israeli occupation a Palestinian land there one in the same really

1:31:23 And so it's our responsibility as people who are within the United States to go as hard as possible to decolonize this place because that will reverberate all across the world. Because the US is the greatest predator empire that has ever existed, right? So we want us everywhere. We want us out of Palestine. We want us out of Turtle Island and at the goal is to dismantle the settler project that is the United States Yeah, so just dismantle the United States because that'll work out great. That will improve things! So then now this woman is at the University of Minnesota I believe? Yes correct professor and we'll see how long she lasts. And have a couple other of these well there's actually there's a new chant which i wanted to share with the group

1:32:13 I've heard a couple new chants. I have a new one, the new chant is for the Hoothies Although in this case it's for Yemen because they're doing a great job of blocking the shipping through the Red Sea. You couldn't hear it? Yemen, Yemen make us proud turn another ship around! Very good. That's cute. Yeah that is I think Let me see, I have of course we have protesters in Los Angeles at the airport. About 35 people were arrested for rioting amid a pro-Palestinian protest in Los Angeles they blocked a street leading into LA International Airport this morning several were seen scaling walls and running into neighborhoods before being taken down by officers in riot gear one person was arrested for battery on a police officer traffic slowed but police said no flights were impacted

1:33:17 And here's what's crazy. This anti-Israel, anti-Zionist, anti-Jew hate really started over a year ago with Kanye. He was the first to say, oh no they're debanking me. They're taking my business away I'm no longer rich they took my money away you remember that? Oh yeah of course Well he spun on a dime Kanye West is apologizing to the Jewish community posting his statement on Instagram in Hebrew after a series of anti-semitic remarks The rapper who calls himself Yeh is asking for forgiveness His apology comes just before the release of his new album

1:33:59 Timing, I love that. So I don't know exactly what Ye is trying to do. But it is time to break out new flags, I think we can expect this, I'm just going to put in the red book yellow flags are on deck! Yellow flags are on deck! Hundreds of Hezbollah supporters turned out Wednesday for the funeral of a fighter killed in an Israeli air strike Since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war in October, Hezbollah and Israeli forces have engaged in near daily clashes Israel bombarded southern Lebanon to force Hezbollah to evacuate 30 kilometers north and create a buffer zone. Instead, Hezbollah fired about thirty rockets into northern Israel. Israel warned that the situation in the region may escalate further. The situation on Israel's northern border demands change. The timer for diplomatic solution is running out

1:34:53 If the world and the Lebanese government will not stop the firing on northern settlements and move Hezbollah away from the border, the Israeli army will. Israel faces tensions with more than just Hezbollah in its north especially after the death of a high-ranking Iranian officer near Damascus on Monday His funeral was attended by thousands in Tehran Thursday Iran accused Israel of being responsible for the attack in Syria and promised revenge. It's certain that these acts of retaliation will continue at different times and in different places, the Zionists will never be safe from vengeance. Iran said these actions will be carried out by the Axis of Resistance a term for Iran-allied groups in the region

1:35:42 These include the Syrian government, Hezbollah in Lebanon, Iraqi militant groups and Yemeni rebels. Yeah so Israel now basically claims they have I think seven different people or countries attacking them including Syria Damascus but i mean Syria Lebanon hold on might be in this clip yeah we start our journey into Gaza at Erez crossing think this is a border checkpoint ransacked by Hamas on October 7th now in shambles Entering northern Gaza on foot, the sounds of gunfire ricochet across the desert as we pass a vast wasteland of mangled steel and concrete blocks. Tanks rolling by and the hum of Israeli drones overhead. I don't think that's the one hold on second what was oh this is it? This is...I think this is the clip here we go

1:36:32 Broadcast on Iranian state television, this footage purports to show the strike that killed Syed Razi Mousavi. The esteemed senior advisor in Iran's Revolutionary Guard died on the outskirts of the Syrian capital on Monday. Tehran has blamed an Israeli airstrike Our reaction to the assassination will be smart, strong and with the necessary effectiveness. On Tuesday the Israeli Defense Minister hinted that the country had retaliated in Syria but stopped short of confirming the strike We are having a multi-front war we are under attack from seven different fronts Gaza Lebanon Syria Judea and Samaria Iraq Yemen and Iran We have already responded on six of these fronts

1:37:18 So, there you have it. Seven. Seven and who's paying for all this? And it's not gonna stop! This is gonna go on forever. It-it's beautiful! The military industrial complex loves it. Loves it we'll figure something out with the border We'll do some... Some little bullcrap thing and then... Then we get money for more money for Ukraine More money for Israel They love this stuff Yeah, because it's soaking the American public. And we're at peak now...

1:37:53 Finally, I was waiting for the report. It came from PBS thank God! The UN's nuclear watchdog reports that Iran has increased its production of near weapons-grade uranium. The International Atomic Energy Agency said Tehran has been producing more highly enriched uranium since late November reversing a months long slowdown. UN inspectors observe the increase at facilities in Nantanz and Fordow They're just weeks away from the bomb Just weeks. It's coming! It has always been weeks, and it will forever be weeks away. I have some Gaza reporting... Let's go with Gaza Update. Gaza Health Ministry says at least 241 Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours that is 10 an hour as Israel intensifies its assault on Gaza where the overall death toll has topped 21 thousand including 8000 children

1:38:51 Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank an Israeli drone strike has killed six Palestinians in the Nershams refugee camp near Tulkarm during an Israeli raid. Al Jazeera reports Israeli forces blocked ambulances from reaching the victims of the strike. The youngest victim was 16 years old. Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 300 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th So she of course is supported in almost secretly by Cutter and so the reports are gonna go kind of off the rails. Why do you say that? Because we discussed this some time ago, this show is supported by Cutter

1:39:31 It is Yeah, democracy. No yeah They give grants to democracy no I I forget this is so long ago than we first unveiled or Kind of released this information Yeah, they're getting there if you can tell by you by the reporting that they're very pro-palestinian Anti Israel but it gets ridiculous. I got these are these are democracy now ridiculously It's just the way it is done. Here, listen to this... Egypt has proposed a plan for permanent ceasefire in Gaza but on Tuesday Israel's army chief said Israel's military operation in Gaza will continue for quote many more months Hamas has also rejected elements of the Egyptian proposal On Tuesday the bodies about 80 unidentified Palestinians were buried in a mass grave in Rafah in southern Gaza

1:40:27 Israel had seized the bodies in northern Gaza in order to determine if any of them were dead Israeli hostages. Israel then returned the bodies to Gaza through the Kedem Shalom crossing." Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly endorsed expelling all Palestinians from Gaza. Israeli news outlets report Netanyahu told a group of Israeli lawmakers Monday, quote, regarding voluntary immigration This is the direction we're going in, he said. Palestinian leaders denounced Netanyahu for embracing what they describe as ethnic cleansing. The 11-week Israeli assault has already forced more than 85 percent of Palestinians in Gaza to leave their homes and many have no homes to return to. Displaced Palestinians say there are no safe places remaining in Gaza

1:41:17 We were displaced. We were bombed by aircraft and the school was not safe, so we went out and while we were leaving there were snipers and people who are martyred. We have been out for two days in this situation has not improved. The plane is bombing from above and the snipers as well So this is like a, I don't know if you can call it slanted or whatever but the way she emphasizes that the Israelis refused the Egyptian idea and then of course the Palestinians did too but let's not say that.

1:41:54 No, and then there's the story about the 80 corpses that were shipped to Israel. Yeah, and it's shown in a mass grave or something and then they ship them back I mean this very strange well that isn't that just all propaganda? I mean we've run out of babies in incubators so we need to do something else always good Okay, let's go into shipping corpses around in mass graves always a winner at the news desk Here's a part two of this Israel's bombardment of Gaza has also led to a growing public health catastrophe as disease spreads due to contaminated water supplies, the buildup of untreated sewage and the lack of medical care. Some Israeli officials have openly praised the spread of diseases in Gaza

1:42:39 In November, retired Major General Giora Eilen, who still advises Israel's defense minister, wrote, quote, "'Severe epidemics in the south of the Gaza Strip will bring victory closer,' unquote." The public health crisis in Gaza is also impacting Israeli soldiers. The Times of Israel reports one soldier died after being infected by a harmful fungus in Gaza. At least 10 other Israeli troops were infected after being exposed to soil contaminated with sewage waste. Meanwhile, three more Israeli soldiers have died in Gaza—154 Israeli soldiers have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its ground invasion.

1:43:18 Oh yeah, this is a part of another meme about the ill disease in Gaza. This is from NPR. Fighting continues in Gaza between the Israeli military and Hamas militants Israel is still bombing the enclave relief groups say there's nowhere safe for Palestinian civilians to go The World Health Organization says that death toll is going to climb because of disease NPR's Ari Daniel says the WHO has assessed infectious disease conditions in Gaza It's bad and it may well get worse. The WHO says rates are quote soaring here is one example a more than 100,000 cases of diarrhea with rates among children that are 25 times higher than before the war the WHO says there also numerous cases of meningitis rashes scabies lice and chicken pox Well cholera is next Yeah yeah we haven't had that one yet

1:44:16 It's kind of depressing. I mean nothing is going to change, Israel is not going to stop. Lebanon is next that's why we're gonna have yellow flags for Lebanon but I have to change our profiles again they are not going to stop them and people think that this you know standing in front of LAX it's going to stop this. The only thing that will stop us if we I guess stopped funding it Well, that's not going to happen. Today the White House announced plans to provide up to $250 million in additional military aid to Ukraine. It includes air defense munitions and artillery in what will be the last aid package unless of course Congress approves additional funding. House Republicans have insisted a compromise on immigration along with U.S. security border—border security rather is crucial to negotiate any foreign aid package

1:45:11 Right. Well, I have my Ukraine clip which is a little different. This is the short Ukraine report. Ukrainian forces struck a large Russian warship at a port in occupied Crimea on Tuesday and what's been described as one of the most significant attacks against Moscow's Black Sea fleet in months but the attack comes as Ukrainian officials have acknowledged Russia has seized the frontline town of Mariinka in eastern Ukraine after a month-long battle and latest setback to Ukraine's failed counter offensive I'm reading here that, what was this? UK papers. Zelensky knows too much and will be killed off by his own men! We've been hearing that for like a year... I know but Poroshenko is supposedly in the wings still you know we know the Poroshenko and he's a military-industrial complex guy

1:46:03 So that would be going back to Israel. I do want to play this contrasting clip which shows the democracy now has got kind of one, you know they're very they've taken aside this UN bumped DN Israel's announced it will stop automatically granting visas to employees of the United Nations after it accused the UN of being, quote, complicit partners with Hamas. Top United Nations officials have repeatedly called for a ceasefire in Gaza while demanding more humanitarian aid into the besieged territory." Now that's the extent of her report on this which is very lopsided because I want to play NTD's version and this is the AIDS

1:46:48 aid UN scandal in depth NTD really forces released a recorded phone call that alleges the Hamas controls United Nations relief efforts in Gaza meanwhile Hamas release their video this secretly recorded Israeli troops before an unexpected term of events And EZ's Jason Perry has the latest on Israel-Hamas war. On Wednesday, Hamas terrorists released a video of what appears to be Israeli troops recovering the body of a deceased soldier while other troops were standing guard A terrorist inside a residence then throws a grenade at them and opens fire. Hamas also released footage of another terrorist inside a residence, firing an explosive at an apparent Israeli tank. Hamas terrorists not only control the Gaza Strip but according to a recorded phone call released by the IDF on Wednesday, Hamas also controls the United Nations Relief and Works Agency or UNRWA

1:47:46 In the phone call, a Gazan resident explains that from the day Hamas rose to power they took control of everything. Hamas put its hands on everything so you can be an expert. Hamas put its hands on the employees and leaders in the agency's headquarters After such a significant statement the IDF officer asked him to clarify what he meant. The agent is also dealing with Hamas And when it comes to humanitarian aid, he said Hamas provides it to their own people first. We reached out to UNRWA for comment but we didn't get a response before airtime. Meanwhile, Hamas security escorted this convoy of trucks carrying humanitarian aid including fuel as it made its entry into the Gaza Strip from Egypt on Wednesday

1:48:38 Israel's government spokesperson, Alan Levy said this on Wednesday. UN agencies are currently struggling to distribute aid at the pace that Israel is inspecting it Unfortunately to date the UNAID mechanism in Gaza has been woefully unsuccessful because it goes through UNRWA Aid simply isn't reaching the people who need it because Hamas hijacks it and UNRWA covers up for it I just love this whole system So we pay We American taxpayers and we're taxed by inflation, by money printing. So we pay for the bombs that create the mess I'm not saying forget who... side doesn't matter but then we also pay United Nations from to go in and give them aid

1:49:24 Why are we so crazy? Why are we so crazy, bro? We're paying for everything. If we're paying for all of it break it rubble eyes that build the backup rubber logic Take away the food give him some food This is what we need to see this is what we need understand back to the UN scandal part 2 He also gave this warning about hezbollah's continued attacks across Israel's northern border Well now at a fork in the road Either Hezbollah backs off from the Israeli border in line with UN Resolution 1701 from 2006, or we will push it away ourselves. Levy's comments come just a day after Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon fired an anti-tank missile at a church in northern Israel. The attack injured two Israeli Christians according to the IDF

1:50:13 Then, when Israeli troops responded to the injured, Hezbollah fired another missile at the church injuring nine Israeli soldiers. Just after the attack on Tuesday, the IDF spokesperson accused Hezbollah of trying to drag Lebanon into the war Hamas had started. He said that if the attacks continue, Hezbollah will bear the consequences and responsibility for an unnecessary war. and it could bring unwanted destruction to the people of Lebanon. Yeah, yeah well Lebanon doesn't need much more rubble-izing. The whole area is a mess! And of course now we have to always put it out there

1:50:54 Fears of a widening war. In a video released by Israel's air force, a fighter jet shoots down what Israeli officials say was a drone fired from Yemen near its territory over the Red Sea – a sign of continued escalation with Iranian-backed Houthi rebels It comes a day after Saeed Razi Mousavi, one of Iran's top advisors to its Revolutionary Guard in Syria was reportedly killed in an Israeli air strike in the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday. A killing Tehran vowed to avenge further and claiming fears that the Israel-Hamas war could engulf the region

1:51:33 But over the past 24 hours in Gaza six Israeli soldiers have been pronounced dead by the military and over 240 Palestinians were killed in multiple Israeli airstrikes according to the Hamas run Ministry of Health Some victims so little and so stunned they don't cry out in pain. Sean Casey speaks for the World Health Organization. We're seeing almost only trauma cases come through the door, and it's quite difficult to believe It's a bloodbath as we said before, it is carnage. Across Gaza there is no shortage of pain as this little boy cries out. A final kiss goodbye.

1:52:22 While in the southern city of Rafah tonight, Palestinian medical workers buried roughly 80 bodies released by Israel in a mass grave. The smell of decomposing remains was so strong they said they couldn't accurately count how many. Oh, good job CBS. And by the way that's that report in another one where they had the guy saying it was a blood bath? Yeah he's standing in a fairly empty hall in a hospital there's no blood anywhere there are people going in and out no blood to be seen anywhere including on him and it looked pretty calm to me it reminded me of some of the early COVID vids now interest we saw where

1:53:06 We're getting bad information generally. Well, remember what General Smedley Butler said? War is a racket and that's what it is just war as a racket just making money people be dead why can't we do get into the war business in Congo there some good stuff I mean Is there no money for these guys? Protests erupted in Congo today demanding a redo of last week's presidential election. Demonstrators took to the streets of Kinshasa denouncing what they say was a flawed vote. Police fired tear gas and threw rocks to break up the crowds One of the main opposition candidates also accused police of firing live bullets Protesters refused to give up

1:53:51 The people are resisting. Marching is our constitutional right and it is not over because they need to take responsibility for this chaotic election, we won't back down. International observers and rights groups have also questioned the elections integrity They cited polls that never opened or opened late and many illegible voter cards Final election results are expected in the coming days Oh just wait for it Congolese coming We'll have people from the Congo coming now. Bring them in! Well that could be, yeah... From the southern border But why don't we? I don't know It's like..we don't want to get involved with black Africa Yeah why not?! Are they not human?? We just don't wanna get involved. We gotta involve with enough stuff You can never have too much stuff going on!! No, you can only do so much Okay

1:54:50 I don't know. But, I think they could add a third war. I think Janet Yellen would say we can easily have a third war we can pay for that no and that's not a problem Is that your Yellen? Yeah, it was pretty bad It's not bad at all Should we do a three by three Yes, I do have a 3x3 that is about Let's start with ABC. No, you can't start at all until we roll out the... And before we play the first one I want to mention

1:55:33 Now it looks like when they show the map of all the crap going on out there. We have five Five bases in Syria Bases actual business, let's take a look this ask ourselves what right and I'm pro-american But what right do we have to violate a sovereign state and just set up shop? well all over the place because We're from Turtle Island. Back off! It's weird... We are from Turtle Island, we're here to fix your country Tonight new images from US airstrikes on an Iran affiliated militia after a Christmas Day attack on U.S forces in Iraq that left three service members injured one of them critically Those retaliatory strikes coming just hours after the us Erbil airbase was hit with a self-detonating drone in northern Iraq

1:56:29 President Biden briefed on the attack immediately afterward, ordering the reprisal. Tonight US officials say those precision air strikes likely killed a number of militants affiliated with the group Khatib Hezbollah, part of a network of Iran-backed groups in the region that have been targeting U.S forces over Washington support for Israel. This is very prevalent amongst the Iranians, it's how they conduct business and it's very messy because they're using forces that sometimes don't actually take direct orders but ultimately it's to push back against the influence of United States. In a statement Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin saying he and President Biden

1:57:06 will not hesitate to take necessary action to defend the United States, our troops and our interests. There is no higher priority." About 3500 US troops remain in Iraq and Syria to prevent the resurgence of ISIS. And since the start of the Israel-Hamas war... Oh there it is! The Pentagon estimates there have been roughly 100 attacks against U.S personnel in the region And in Tehran, protests this weekend after state media claimed an Israeli airstrike in Syria killed a top Iranian general directly responsible for arming proxy groups in the region. Tonight Iranian officials vowing revenge

1:57:47 Tonight, U.S. officials reporting what is at least the 16th attack in the Red Sea since the start of the Israel-Hamas war In the last 24 hours a US warship along with fighter jets shooting down a dozen attack drones as well as several missiles launched by Iran backed Houthi militants in Yemen No ships were damaged and there are no reported injuries tonight You know I went back And look to that footage of the Houthis landing the helicopter on that ship, which supposedly now is a tourist attraction. Yeah I know i love it! Man... some of that

1:58:23 footage just is unreal. It looks so much like video game footage, it's not even funny I'm a helicopter pilot the way he landed... didn't even land he hovers in the...I mean there's a lot of stuff on that deck There's not..there's a winch only landing zone So not a landing zone for the helicopter and the way he takes off is like it seemed almost unreal and then you look at the, the Houthi rebels in crisp brand new uniforms not a spot on them all identical boots completely clean. Something is that is off

1:59:05 I mean, something's amiss. Very and then the footage inside it actually you see a guy in front of you it actually looks like video game footage. They shoot it as first person shooter style. This Red Sea stuff is a scam and there's a reason why France pulled out no one wants to be part of it because somebody somewhere people know this is a scam. France and everybody else pretty much yeah but why aren't they just saying hey it's a scam? You can't do that. Because it is! And what are we shooting? No, it's a scam but doesn't mean you can go off and say it We're shooting down drones Really?! Left and right What is this!? Let's define drone okay It's not a Reaper drone These little drones Yeah with the bomb on them

1:59:57 No, there's something... Very off. Scamish is very off with this whole thing And these reports are probably part of it Let's go to NBC Tensions flaring in Iraq as the US conducted precision air strikes against three facilities used by Iranian-backed militias The US military saying they killed multiple fighters Defense officials sending a clear message to militia groups and to Iran The US strikes in retaliation for an attack on Erbil airbase in Iraq on Christmas Day. US officials say militants launched an attack drone that struck the base, injuring three U.S troops — one in critical but now stable condition and being transferred to launch stool

2:00:38 In a statement, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said these precision strikes are response to a series of attacks against U.S. personnel in Iraq and Syria. There have been at least 105 attacks against bases with Americans in Iraq and Syria over the past two months causing minor injuries. These incidents have dramatically increased since the October 7th Hamas attack against Israel rousing Iranian backed militia groups throughout the region including the Houthi rebels in Yemen who have assaulted commercial ships Just today, US forces shot down a dozen one-way attack drones as well as ballistic... Oh that's new. That's new term. One way attack drones

2:01:17 I've heard it before. I haven't heard this before. Who have assaulted commercial ships just today US forces shot down a dozen one-way attack drones as well as ballistic and land attack cruise missiles fired by the Houthis in the Red Sea region according to us Central Command while traveling in Israel last week Secretary Austin warned of an expanding regional conflict Iran is raising tensions By continuing to support terrorist groups and militias Attacks by these Iranian proxies threaten the region's citizens and risk a broader conflict.

2:01:54 Corny joins us tonight live from the Pentagon and there's a new warning from an international watchdog group about Iran's nuclear program. Yeah, yeah that's right Tom The International Atomic Energy Agency says Iran has sped up production of highly enriched uranium material used to produce a nuclear bomb Production slowed earlier this year while the US in Iran negotiated the release of hostages In fact I would say bomb them bomb them and then bomb em again Bomb them! Bomb them, we can't risk it. Come on Lloyd Austin come on man call for the bombs bomb them. So just to remind everybody as my position on some of this so they're killing Iraqis basically and the Iraqi government wants us out

2:02:41 And if you listen to any Al Jazeera report, they're sick of it and we're killing them. Why are we there? We're supposed be out of Iraq but no, no, no! We have a bunch of bases there and we have a bunch of bases in Syria... ...and the Iraqis in particular want us out I'm sure that Syrians do too And so we're bombing them, doing what we have to fight back. But we don't do jack about the drones in Yemen We know where they're coming from exactly What... We pinpoint where the rockets and drones are coming from Why don't we bomb them? We don't So that adds credence to your thesis that whole Yemen thing is bullcrap And then we still have the base in Djibouti which is right across the water

2:03:23 I think we probably do. Whatever the case is, something's fishy about these reports so let's go to CBS which is basically the same report with a variation or two The American bombs struck three locations in Iraq in the pre-dawn hours leaving at least one dead and more than a dozen injured A US official told CBS News one target was a warehouse believed to hold drones used by Iranian backed militias to attack American troops An explosive drone fired at an airbase in northern Iraq on Christmas Day injured three American service members, one of them critically. It's a continuation though Iran and Iranian-supported groups or Iranian aligned militias on the ground in Iraq continuing to push

2:04:11 the boundaries and trying to identify where the red lines are for the Americans. And in this particular case, I think they found it. Do you think the militias deliberately crossed that red line? They're always pushing to try to see just how far they can go up It was only the fourth time the Biden administration has retaliated for more than 100 attacks conducted by Iranian-backed militias against American troop locations in Iraq and Syria since Israel invaded Gaza. The Biden administration is treading a thin line between retaliating and triggering a wider war with Iran. The U.S has been trying to avoid escalating the conflict too much damage, and there's a risk of a massive and potentially catastrophic response that results in uncontrolled escalation

2:05:03 No. The war is also threatening to escalate in the Red Sea today in one 10-hour period an American destroyer and jet fighters from the aircraft carrier Eisenhower downed a total of 17 drones and missiles fired at commercial vessels by the Iranian-backed Houthis Camp Lemonnier, United States Naval Base situated next to Djibouti International Airport We've had it since 2002. Centerpiece of a... It's Le Moyne, isn't it? Le Moyne or something like that. Le Moynier. The base supports Operation Enduring Freedom Horn of Africa and is the centerpiece of a network around six US drone and surveillance bases stretching across the continent. It is strategically located by the Barb El Mandeb Strait which we've heard that name. It's right there

2:06:01 And yet we can't figure it out? No, we can figure it out. But we don't want to... We do not want to! No I think worse than that is something going on this Red Sea thing is jacks up the price of oil does some benefit to the economy Is it though? What's the oil doing? Well, it's going up. It's going up like $8 but it jacks up the price of oil and there is something like you said scamish about the whole thing and that Yemenis take over that ship which is now a tourist attraction which people think we might have been joking about but no they're actually shipping people out there and letting them float around the ship as a tourist attraction which I can go do it

2:06:51 What is there to see? It's just a big shift. Well, I mean you could go and probably honk the horn and who knows what they let you do. Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk! Uh... it's just that there was this skammishness that surrounds all of this that is just besides soaking the taxpayer in continuing their...I have no idea what the end game is Everybody denies that it's to create a larger conflict because nobody wants that supposedly. I don't know, its disappointing You can't quite put your finger on this something is up and the Europeans get all bailed out with helping us they they know somethings up but they just dont... They're not saying Maybe they like we are blowing our money on this nonsense

2:07:47 Yeah, you go spend your money on that. That's always a possibility but being the reserve currency it screws everybody so I don't know if that's true Well this is also good for military style stuff back here at home in the hinterland in the homeland because of course we need more security for New Year's Eve It's gonna be dangerous red lights are blinking This morning New York City is getting ready for the biggest party of the year 3...2....1 Happy new year More than a million people are expected to cram into Times Square to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve. The mayor says police will be prepared. There is always a serious concern

2:08:28 concern around safety in New Year's Eve because there is a large number of people, the police department is on top of it. ABC News has obtained a threat assessment by the FBI and NYPD and other agencies that says the ball drop could draw interest from malicious actors looking for targets of opportunity or from lone offenders inspired by or reacting to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict The security plan includes thousands of officers, miles of metal barricades plus drones dogs and hundreds of surveillance cameras all to keep the crowd safe. I think it's a pretty safe bet that someone is going to try to do something to distract or disrupt the events in Times Square In recent years though extremists have almost exclusively targeted law enforcement or military personnel just a year ago at this very celebration a young man from Maine attacked

2:09:18 police officers with a knife as they work to security checkpoint. It's real Herculean task to manage that number of people without being heavy handed, but being protective. Okay. All right. New York will be fine I'm sure. Yeah. Yes. Sure it will You want to do a little bit of climate change for a moment because there is some kind of hopeful news although quite funny that PBS brought us. And Beijing has recorded the most hours of below freezing temperatures in December in more than seven decades, a bitter cold wave and heavy snowfall frozen northern and central parts of China I was...I've been watching these 70 years I'm watching these reports and documentaries

2:10:02 about glaciation and how that actually works. Yeah, and it appears to be inverse to the logic when it's really cold that's when the glaciers actually recede in their normal cycle and when it gets warm the glaciers grow Have you heard of this? No, not the way you're describing it. I'm sure i'm not describing it correctly but all we're seeing is the glacier's actually growing They're not melting. Not that I know of Yeah, they're over like a 40 year period they've grown yeah they Of course in the summer they melt little bit and that compacts and then come back strong as glaciers just packed snow or whatever Definitely moving back-and-forth no doubt about that but Anyway with all this... I had an Elgort clipped don't have it on here? I forgot to get it Oh no oh no that's horrible

2:11:02 What the what? I don't know. Because I remember clipping that clip. Well, while you're looking for it... No, it's not on here there is no way I can find it. I would say Bill Gates knew all along we've always said this was the way out and looks like countries who are afraid they're going to get dinged for not being net neutral carbon net-neutral by 2030 they're wising up nuclear power is on a roll in its latest success Poland has authorized the construction of 24 small nuclear reactors at six sites across the country and I'm going to because electricity production in Poland is one of the most carbon intensive in the world with still almost

2:11:45 almost 70% of the electricity coming from coal. Nuclear power is back in fashion in many countries because of its potential to decarbonize even energy-intensive industries quickly. The Japanese, who shut down their nuclear power plants after the Fukushima accident in 2011 are using them again and they're planning to build new ones too In California, environmentalists have stopped complaining about nuclear power and are now fighting to get the plants back online. In Sweden teenagers demand that Greenpeace drops their resistance to nuclear power and even the Germans are rethinking their decision to phase out nuclear power

2:12:28 Well, I think that's an optimistic report. I'm not buying it because she was wrong about Fukushima play my Fukushima clip Oh you have a Fukushima clip? I don't know if they're restarting Fukushima worse for your family They're trying to but it did snot restarted sheep kind of implies that it's been restarted, but here is the story as of yesterday. Japan is moving closer to reopening the world's largest nuclear power plant which was shut down following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 Earlier today Japan's nuclear regulator lifted its safety ban on the plant which is run by TEPCO That's Tokyo Electric Power

2:13:05 Local government bodies still need to sign off on the plants reopening. Okay, I mean but in general it seems like nuclear is back in fashion That's that's kind of correct people are thinking about it again Let's hope so I'm not completely buying into it But yeah if they're gonna how many they say Poland wants to open six Six, but SMRs or yeah the little ones Yeah, the teeny ones that make so much sense yes those Well, we haven't opened one of those in this country that I know of. No no Do you remember when? 15-minute cities and everyone's like Oh 15 minute cities and it'll be back Everyone is saying oh this is conspiracy theory right conspiracy theory people were doing this yet Okay, no We had clips of it of the no I know about the 50 minutes cities But now we wouldn't know we had clips of people saying that they're gonna hear this is the BBC This is from

2:14:04 April. The 15-minute city, for years it's been a buzzword in urban planning but now the concept has gone mainstream and become a magnet for protests around the world from Canada to the UK with conspiracy groups claiming they're designed to imprison us in our neighborhoods It's all conspiracy theory but this COP28 man they're all over the fifteen minute cities Fifteen minutes? Yes! Yes, with rapid... Here this is from their... Well you're in a 15-minute city. When do you go in the car more than 50 miles? I don't even get in the car! With rapid population growth and urbanization cities around the world are battlegrounds for our fight against climate change The latest IPCC report highlights integrated urban planning can reduce emissions by 23 to 26 percent by 2050

2:14:56 Sprawling congestion must be transformed into density and connectivity. Pollution must be restored to clean air, and car-dominated roads and highways must give way to people centric streets. Ooh! People centric streets... Oh please. And nature friendly neighborhoods. Yeah! Mulch granny. Emerging models like the 15 minute city focus on urban proximity and quality of life in representing a turning point. And so there's this C40 network? Have you heard of this? No. Okay, a network of 100 mayors of the world's leading cities is increasing actions to accelerate the adoption of The 15-Minute City highly livable walkable people oriented cities. No brother! The green and thriving neighborhood program created in collaboration with urban partners provides deep support to more than 40 cities to help them turn The 15 Minute Cities into reality. This is real... Oh

2:15:55 C40, that's those mayors also launched a tool to measure the impacts of 15-minute city with Novo Nordisk. What are those guys doing in it? Money So I looked for this on their website, what Nigel Farage is about to tell us. So take that with a grain of salt. It came in late so i'm not sure if he's full of crap but typically he's able to back up what he says here's his lament about the C40 project in the 15-minute cities.

2:16:40 You've never heard of C40 cities, no reason why you should. 96 cities involved including London International Organization chaired by one Sadiq Khan given government funding their latest report is in order to save the world from climate change you should only be allowed one return airfare every three years I suggest you join me in telling Sadiq Khan where to go or... Is he right? Did one return airfare every three years? I hope we get to witness that. If we're still doing the show, it'll be a great day." I don't know... not convinced. What?! Not convinced! Well- Uh what else do you got? I'm pretty much running out of stuff here. I do have uh- What's the gas stove thing? What's that? Well this is just super- We've heard this before but i want to play The Supercut

2:17:39 Good gas stove super cut you may have heard it. This is classic You might think that the US government is coming for your gas stove That is a new and absolutely ridiculous one turns out Fox News Republicans are up in arms because they say the government is coming to take Your stoves what Republicans are saying is damn it they're gonna take your gas stove. GOP have been stoking a ridiculous new freakout about gas stoves no one is taking your gas stove the right-wing freak out over the use of gas stoves is merely the latest in a long series of made up culture war battles designed to enrage and rile up their right wing and paranoid base. Republicans are prone to conspiracy theories whether

2:18:22 you know, the kooky like JFK Jr. is coming back from the dead to run with Trump or um the sort of duplicitous like this administration's coming to take away your gas stoves Stop for a second yeah we did play this but it's okay well I'll play it again but It goes on and on You don't have to play anymore just play the one The Gas Stove Story I wanted to say something about that report, so remind me to come back to that because there's something... Okay. What is it? Gas stove. Where am I looking for it? Oh! Where is it?! Well where is the gas...? Let me look. He said gas stove story

2:19:02 I have gas to go. Oh, NYC. Yeah, yeah, I got it. New York City is moving to snuff out gas stoves. New York becoming the first state to ban natural gas and other fossil fuels in most new buildings including gas stoves. The new law requires all electric heating and cooking in new buildings shorter than seven stories by 2026. Governor Kathy Hochul and the Democratic controlled state legislature approved a bill on Tuesday prohibiting the use of fossil fuels for heating and cooking, The law is the first statewide ban in the nation and goes into effect in 2026 Beautiful, beautiful. Excellent! So all these guys on MSNBC in particular and also CNN going on and on showing off about gas stoves and the Republicans are all nuts... And then this happens and this is just the beginning I know California's gonna go for this it started with fireplaces they stopped them in all new housing developments you couldn't put a fireplace

2:20:01 And it's just going to be gas stoves next. In Washington state, it is easy to do that because half the states are already all electric You know what? We need to invest in Bunsen burners or Sterno. What was Sterno? Plants and Bunsen burners. Were those cans of Sterno? Sterno is what you're talking about. But now propane! Oh yeah, oh propane. Now what I wanted to say is there's something in that report on that supercut about JFK jr. coming back to run with yes people keep talking about this and I you know serious people they brought it back up because the QAnon one of the QAnon guys died within the last year I think he died in June or something and he was the guy who promoted this and had the big meeting in Dallas

2:20:50 to say hello to JFK Jr. when he showed up, which he never showed up of course. Oh what a bummer! He didn't show up? Oh no... But this guy just died recently and I think that and I think he may have been QAnon because QAnon has just fallen off the map completely. Yeah well so i think that's where you heard it There is that and there's one more that is somewhat troubling that people really are going for All the Victoria Secret models are men. Taylor Swift is a man, Jennifer Aniston is now Jennifer Maniston It's really odd I don't and it's... I wonder why? I don't know! It's catching fire though. It was like oh that's all men and there are people very serious about this There's entire telegram groups that you know Oh yeah, they're all men those their dudes

2:21:44 Well, this is like the birds aren't real. Well that's true we all know that Ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end the one only mr.. John Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry In the morning all ships and sea and boots on the ground And feet in the air and subs in the water and dames of knights out there In the morning to our trolls who are hanging out at trollroom.io Or you might be listening on a modern podcast that...

So it's not that fact that their receivers can't catch the ball and they drop it, and drop it... No! They're number one team for dropped passes. It has nothing to do with that The name Yoko Swifto says enough I like Yoko Swifto. Yoko Swifto She broke up the band man! Yoko Swifto

2:27:18 Although Apple could be part of our system, they just like climate change. They'd like to ruin the world by polling feeds all day long and That's just a yeah that is an issue, climate issue It is a huge climate issues I hear it worse than Bitcoin which is... I've heard the same thing Sure you have Value for value, since we don't count on AI or video to grow the audience. Whatever that means and so we can monetize you

2:27:55 We don't like doing that. All we want to do is just do the show, we want you to like the show and if you do send us some value back. We call it The Value for Value Model. We pioneered it, were very proud of it people are now using it in many different arenas and thats a good thing! Its a very good thing And you can do that through time talent or treasure Now we love it when people promote the show, hit people in the mouth. There's all kinds of nice things you can do that none of that is ever shows up on No Agenda social there isn't really anything nice there but you could create websites for them without a doubt Sir Paul Couture has done such a beautiful job in bringing back the no agenda art generator I really appreciate uh the work that he's uh that he's done on that to make it you know not just work again

2:28:47 But he upgraded the whole thing and it has some spiffy little Spiffy little new additions. We got the leaderboard there You can see which artists have been picked the most and we always get this Scala An entire smorgasbord of art to choose from which is beautiful Even if we don't choose your art, we really appreciate that you did that for the show because new art is What makes the show great? It makes it noticeable It gets people interested, and we want to thank DirtyJerseyWhore for bringing us the artwork for episode 1619 that was titled Flash 2 Bang. Oh I got an explanation of flash 2 bang! Flash 2 Bang from Ogfomk. O-G-F-O-M-K. Flash 2 Bang is an artillery term for visually seeing a flash and then as the sound travels you can assess how far away the explosion is by the speed of sound

2:29:45 Oh yeah, it's like doing lightning. You can figure out how far away the lightning is when you're a kid. Flash the bang! I guess it's probably one second for every kilometer or every mile? Some mile per second. Before I forget... The No Agenda logo which is classic with the... What is our classic with that? Is that with the microphone? With M5A? Yeah, with the microphone and the cross through it Ed, that is on a race car. That race car is driven by Ashlyn Speed. Ashlyn Speed... I put a link to the video that her dad posted. Very good video of Ashlyn and... Yes!

2:30:30 Yeah, they got our sticker on there. She's a killer driver! She is going to be very famous. She is going to be incredibly famous We are very proud to be on her car and her dream is Indy and I think she can make that They're looking for sponsors for 2024 She's only like 17 or something Yes, yes And she does lap records and everything Yeah, and she's just I think we can say badass. And you know that's the kind of if anyway, I think people should if you're into The journey to sponsoring cars that that's a driver You want to look out for him? We're very very proud to have that free publicity on her car and it's prominently deployed displayed in that documentary I might add like oh Look at that There's our Noah Jindal logo so back to dirty Jersey whore he brought us the Santa Claus

2:31:22 With the nice list, and we were both on it checkmarked. It was interesting because it was not the actual format that we typically like or typically the template. Yes, it was different. No agenda at the top and then you have Curry Dvorak down below this was no agenda nice lists I liked that Santa had the mic and he had headphones That was kind of cute because there was a lot of Santa art A lot of Christmas art, we always do that when it comes Christmastime. And let's see some of the things we've looked at other pieces- Well I got a kick out of like next to that two over is the black swan inspired and instead of a black swan is a black duck. Yes! Just thought that was weird and then next to Santa here this nice list one is the picture of Taylor Swift done by AI generator. Yeah Darren O'Neill This is gonna be the future of a lot of this stuff

2:32:17 Yeah, well and so we just... Everything's AI. I mean the number of original pieces on here is minor. Yeah it is true. It was going away. There was a Merry Christmas goat which kind of cute but we're more traditionalists So we did talk for awhile about Martin JJ's Santa with the big candy cane if you recall that one? Yeah But why didn't we pick that? Where is it? Ehh..it's down near the bottom there on the right hand side. Oh yeah, well I thought we didn't... Yeah you're right because Martin JJ decided to come back from the dead and produce some art he was dominating the whole thing for a long time. Oh yeah! I think it was because it didn't have the kind of flair that the Naughty Nice List did which is something original this was very

2:33:14 I would say unoriginal, it was just a kind of throwaway. Yeah just a nice Santa pick yeah? Yeah it was a nice pick, it was dynamite and could have been used but didn't have any oomph that's what I think they were... And I would say the close second discussed for sure was the Jewish Christmas Yes, if it wasn't for the fact that it was Christmas. We look for real Christmas art. The Jewish Christmas one which was done in Chinese style lettering with a Merry Christmas and a Jewish star on a Chinese takeout container. Absolutely funniest piece by correct the record of all the pieces but it was a little more than we could probably know

2:34:02 It wasn't gonna happen, but we appreciated the humor. We did! I even sent it to Horowitz. He thought... Bless you! He thought it was pretty funny Because I said, where are you going to Chinese rest? Bless you. You got the couffee. Yeah, sorry. You got the coof. Yeah, we've got this sneeze. Got the coof. No Horowitz would...I was gonna send him a copy of it but I'm glad that you did. Yeah so definitely funny thank you dirty jersey whore! We appreciate what you do there with thank you so much for putting that together for us thank you of course all of the artists For all of the artwork that you do and for all producers anyone who's delivering time talent treasure We appreciate you so much That is what kept it has kept us on the air And we continue to do so as long as the value flow goes both ways is we're providing new values in the back The show continues. It's that easy. It's just like a whorehouse I don't know did I say that? I'm not sure why yeah Disgusting let's thank our executive producers and associate executive producers kicking off with sir otaku

2:35:03 from Flower Mound, Texas who comes in with a cool... Oh this was for the 1-2-3 promotion. Yeah Tell us about this promotion because he's early on this No! You put it in the newsletter?

Now we looked at the uh.. We have some actual player data were able to see and what I what we notice is that people there's a little drop off during the donation segment but people come back listen to the good news segment. I think that coming back to listen to the ISO challenge? Well they're staying for the good news segment so, uh...I'll take it! What do you have today John for your good news?! We have a story from Midwest. Put your glasses on and look at them. It's The Christmas Miracle and now wait a minute before we play it

3:05:27 Animal stories. Yes, we've had people's stories babies and in tornadoes story We have everything so far But we haven't had this kind of Christmas miracle the holidays had a rocky start for the Hansons but getting their car back Just in time for Christmas they say is the best gift they could ask for We got the news that it was stolen right after Thanksgiving. The only thing worse than having your car stolen is having it happen around the holidays, so it was gut wrenching Matt and Christie Hanson love their 1995 Acura Integra so much they invested $18,000 in restoring it for their son

3:06:03 But their plans vanished when it was stolen from a body shop on November 29th. It would be the best Christmas miracle and that was one of the things she had said, that it would really be a Christmas miracle to make their Christmas if they were able to find their car Travis Christiansen saw this story on KSL but no-one could imagine what happened next It was like a needle in a haystack. On a work drive, Travis spotted the car tucked behind a building in Taylorsville. I got a closer look at the car and thought man this really looks like the car and so I was able to go and dig up the KSL article He messaged me...I think I found your car he sent some pictures

3:06:41 I couldn't believe it. He didn't want any of our reward money, he was just happy to get our car back. It felt really good to be a part of that and help them get that car back so they could drive it and enjoy it and continue making memories with it Travis knows first hand what its like having a car stolen making this experience that much better Its a really fun story to be apart of This is another chapter in this cars story As for the Hansons, they plan to pay it forward. I think that's a reminder that we can help other people more than we know now as you heard Travis isn't interested in that monetary reward but he says he really wants to take a picture with the family and of course the red Acura. I'm Garner Mejia KSL 5 News. Oh isn't that nice? You could have cut it down by 30 seconds
