Gray Zone

00:00 I love the cans. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, October 9th, 2025. This is your award-winning Kid Varnation Media assassination episode 1806. This is no agenda. Queen survives! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wondering whatever happened to the ham burglar? I'm John C. Dvorak. Did he go away? Did they remove the Hamburglar from the McDonald's franchise? That's what I said. I'm wondering, whatever happened to the Hamburglar? I don't know. I always liked the Hamburglar. Maybe it was too scary. The Hamburglar actually is the guy that Google put into Chrome that is sneaking through your computer screen when you reach a non-SSL encrypted website.

00:57 That's, that is the actual Hamburglar. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. That's the guy. So news from Fredericksburg, everybody's very, very upset here. Very worried, very concerned. Oh, this is always a topper. Might as well start the show with Fredericksburg gossip. Might as well. Not just Fredericksburg, but Nashville, Memphis, everybody's very, very, very worried about Dolly Parton. Oh yes, Dolly Parton's sick. Dolly Parton? Well, now let's hear what she has to say. She is most definitely America strong. Most definitely. Dolly Parton with her new message tonight. She knows many are working. This is not black athlete from playing for our football team. Huh? Well, I don't understand the reference. But they always say most definitely. So how'd you do in today's game?

01:47 Did you do well? Most definitely. They always say most definitely. It's the stupidest phrase, I hate it. Okay. She is most definitely America. Show title, Most Definitely. I'll write it down. She is most definitely America strong. Dolly Parton with her new message tonight. She knows many are worried about her health. So here tonight, Dolly in her own words. I wanted to say I know lately everybody thinks that I am sicker than I am. Do I look sick to you? I'm working hard here. Anyway, I wanted to put everybody's mind at ease, those of you that seem to be real concerned, which I appreciate. But I want you to know that I'm okay. I've got some problems, as I mentioned. The doctor said we need to take care of this, we need to take care of that. Nothing major, but I did have to cancel some things so I could be closer to home, closer to Vanderbilt.

02:42 You know, where I'm kind of having a few treatments here and there. But I wanted you to know that I'm not dying. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate. Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine. Because once you're dead, then that's a bit too late. I know I'm trying to be funny now, but I'm dead serious about the vaccine. And there it is. I figured we'd start the show off with a bang. That was good, yes. I didn't know she did that little ditty. Oh yeah, we played it on the show. It was part of the... It was the Hamburglarz when Cuomo was offering burger and fries. No, that was de Blasio. De Blasio, yes. And what were the other things? Movie tickets, all kinds of stuff. And then Dolly Parton got in on the game. There you go.

03:41 So, um, I see. Well, I guess that summarizes it. Pretty much. Later on I do have a thing about the vaccine court, but that's not for now. You want to do your 3x3? Because you got one, it's always exciting. The crowd is a crowd pleaser, a fan favorite. Everybody always wants to know what's happening. And now it's time for 3x3. It is an experiment by JCD. What do we do? Comparing stories from ABC and ESN NBC. 3x3, that's right, 3x3. John's got the big headline news, 3x3 on the big three networks. For as long as they're still on the air, we might as well compare. They've been on the air for a while. They're on the air, so we compare.

04:25 Well, let's start with ABC. ABC it is. On President Trump's orders, a plane carrying 200 National Guard soldiers now heading from Texas to Chicago against the wishes of the city's mayor and the governor of Illinois. Let me be clear. Donald Trump is using our service members as political props. and as pawns in his illegal effort to militarize our nation's cities. The president calls it a necessary part of his crime crackdown. But Governor J.B. Pritzker, who was fighting back in court, calls it an unconstitutional invasion of the state of Illinois. Trump and the thuggery that his agents have brought has actively made us less safe. The president tonight says that's just not true. It's like a war zone.

05:12 and then I listen to the governor and the mayor get up and say how they have it under control, they don't. I believe that the Portland people are scared. You look at what's happened with Portland over the years. It's a burning hell hole. But over the weekend, a judge President Trump appointed himself says when it comes to Portland, the president's assessment is, quote, simply untethered to the facts, blocking the deployment of the guard in the city. The president has focused on a group of protesters that have camped outside a NALYS facility in Portland. But Judge Karen Emmergut says those protesters are not significantly violent or disruptive, adding, this is a nation of constitutional law, not martial law.

05:51 David, tonight as these legal battles play out in both Portland and Chicago, President Trump says he's considering invoking the Insurrection Act, using emergency powers that would allow him to go around the courts to deploy the National Guard to both of those cities, David. Yeah, and we should probably point out, we got an email from one of our producers who was mad. Like, you are laughing at what's happening in Chicago, they're terrorizing brown people. And, uh... Yeah, they had some vague clips. Yeah, clips of a guy blocking ice and they threw a smoke or tear grenade and another black guy. And they arrested a guy who got arrested. Kidnapping, he called it. Kidnapping! I mean, the propaganda is strong on this one. Our own people are falling for it. It's interesting. Well, I ended up having to block that guy. Oh, I didn't. It wound up okay. No, it didn't. I got a nasty note. He says I was a racist.

06:46 Well, if you're gonna... You're not? I'm sorry. No, I am not a racist. No. No. Well, yeah. It was disappointing to say the least. Because his proof was literally none of that. He's saying every brown person is afraid of being rousted. And then he said, here's proof. And it was nothing. I think it's because you sent some crazy libs of TikTok video back and said, here's your proof. I don't think that helped the conversation. Well, I did throw a little kerosene on the fire, that's true. Yeah, just a tad maybe. But I figured I could just block him anyway, so. All right. Bye. Okay, well let's move on. That was ABC? Yes.

07:31 I believe we had NBC's lined up. Protests over immigration raids escalating in Chicago tonight. Federal prosecutors charging an alleged gang member with soliciting the murder of an unnamed senior law enforcement official taking part in immigration enforcement there. Saying Juan Espinoza Martinez posted in Snapchat 10K if you take him down. Authorities tonight also searching for the driver of this black SUV that the Department of Homeland Security says repeatedly rammed into ICE agents in the white truck. While at a separate event, police appearing to be tear gassed, though not injured, all as President Trump faces new legal battles in his efforts to deploy National Guard troops to two more cities. Donald Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago as a hellhole was just complete BS. After a federal judge blocked the president from deploying Oregon's National Guard to Portland, where protests against ICE have been escalating.

06:46 Well, if you're gonna... You're not? I'm sorry. No, I am not a racist. No. No. Well, yeah. It was disappointing to say the least. Because his proof was literally none of that. He's saying every brown person is afraid of being rousted. And then he said, here's proof. And it was nothing. I think it's because you sent some crazy libs of TikTok video back and said, here's your proof. I don't think that helped the conversation. Well, I did throw a little kerosene on the fire, that's true. Yeah, just a tad maybe. But I figured I could just block him anyway, so. All right. Bye. Okay, well let's move on. That was ABC? Yes.

07:31 I believe we had NBC's lined up. Protests over immigration raids escalating in Chicago tonight. Federal prosecutors charging an alleged gang member with soliciting the murder of an unnamed senior law enforcement official taking part in immigration enforcement there. Saying Juan Espinoza Martinez posted in Snapchat 10K if you take him down.

Donald Trump's deranged depiction of Chicago as a hellhole was just complete BS. After a federal judge blocked the president from deploying Oregon's National Guard to Portland, where protests against ICE have been escalating.

08:25 Tonight, Chicago and the state of Illinois suing to try and prevent President Trump's deployment of troops there. There was never an insurrection or an invasion on the ground that justified the deployment of the military to our American city. Though tonight, the president saying he'd consider invoking the Insurrection Act. Well, I'd do it if it was necessary. So far, it hasn't been necessary. We have to make sure that our cities are safe. As the White House blasts Democratic officials... That's literally the quote they're using to say he's threatening with the Insurrection Act? That's the quote? Yeah. Wow. American city. Though tonight, the president's saying he'd consider invoking the Insurrection Act. Well, I'd do it if it was necessary. So far, it hasn't been necessary. He didn't say he's considering it. He didn't say that.

09:16 He said I'd do it if it was necessary. He didn't say I'm considering it. And then he says I don't see it as necessary. Yeah, justified the depar American city. Though tonight the president saying he'd consider invoking the insurrection act. Well I'd do it if it was necessary. So far it hasn't been necessary. We have to make sure that our cities are safe. As the White House blasts Democratic officials, noting there were four homicides and 29 people shot in Chicago this weekend. But the governor saying ICE is the one escalating tensions, pointing to this dramatic DHS video of a recent late night raid, saying children were zip tied, which the agency denies. Which I have still to see video of.

09:59 Yeah, and there was also this comment about him being thrown out in the street naked. Yeah, naked. Yes. Yeah, you think somebody would be I mean they're taping everything you think that somebody would the camera that they're still taping boomer? How's she put a video in recording is just an awkward word recording which kind of brings recording. Okay, there you go. Yeah, they're recording everything that they Can and so you think that they would be recording that that but they're not recording that for some reason now. Let's don't record that

10:37 So that's bullcrap. But then we move on, of course, to the nothing to lose CBS, although as we get into the Barry Weiss discussion later, if we do it, I don't think things are going to change much. But CBS has been bought out and taken over by David Ellison's operation. And so they either have nothing to lose. Skydance is Skydance. Skydance. Can I just say that sounds pretty gay. Skydance. you know, like Tiny Dancer. I always think of Elton John's... It's a Hollywood operation. Surich sure sounds gay. Oh, there you go. Oh, sorry. Ready for CBS? So they... so there's a fear that, you know, they're going to turn into a right-wing operation because of whatever fear they have, even though they don't have... you can't find enough right-wing reporters. They've all given up on that gig. Yeah. The whole thing is a joke, but they're at the point where they're either going to

11:34 Say screw it I'm gonna say what I feel like saying or they're gonna be kind of they're gonna back off We don't know yet, but CBS. This is their report For the last three weeks clashes have erupted outside the Broadview, Illinois ice processing center Protesters say federal agents and riot gear used pepper balls and tear gas to push them back from the facility Dozens were detained as chaos spilled into the street In this confrontation, a local rabbi who had joined the demonstration was wrestled to the ground by state police. Over the weekend, President Trump ordered 300 Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago and up to 400 from the state of Texas. It's like a war zone. It's probably worse than almost any city in the world. But Illinois' Democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker, is pushing back, joining the state and city in a lawsuit to block that order. Donald Trump's deranged depiction

12:26 of Chicago as a hellhole, a war zone, and the worst and most dangerous city in the world was just complete BS. Hundreds of National Guard troops now on their way. Their mission to protect the one city block in Broadview where the ice processing center is located. I'm at a Mamaguchi outside the ice facility in Portland, Oregon, where over the weekend, Mayor Keith Wilson recently took us on a tour. This is really the home of innovation. That's always what Portland has been known for. But in seeking to deploy National Guard troops, the president has called the city war ravaged and on Sunday said this. Portland is burning to the ground. We often talk about protests, but they're huge peaceful protests. Mostly peaceful. I'm surprised. I got a very different report from NBC.

13:15 from the nightly news which expanded much more on what Pritzker was saying. Did you hear any of this? Play it, I'll tell you if I did. National Guard troops are preparing to deploy to the streets of Chicago as the war of words between President Trump and Illinois' governor. No, this is NBC. I think it's NBC. NBC. No, that's David Bure. Oh, then it's ABC. Governor escalates. President Trump calling for the jailing now of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker. Pritzker saying President Trump has dementia and has something stuck in his head and he can't get it out of his head. Calling President Trump's move an unconstitutional invasion. Alice Prez in Chicago. This is good stuff. This is show material. I missed that part. I didn't get the most. No, wait. Wait, you get it. You're gonna get the full Monty. Here, hold on. Here it comes.

14:01 Tonight, with 500 members of the Texas and Illinois National Guard preparing to fan out across Chicago charged with securing federal agents and properties, the president ramping up his attack on the mayor and the governor who called the deployment an unconstitutional invasion. The president calling for their arrest in an online post. Chicago mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers. Governor Pritzker also. Everything we're doing is very lawful. What they're doing is not lawful. But the governor calling the president a coward. He's demented, literally, unhinged. And this is somebody who's so insecure that he lashes out, pretending that he can come arrest people for no reason at all. He can't. In the last 24 hours, Pritzker saying the president has dementia. Aside from the fact that he's out of his mind and has dementia, I don't know.

14:52 Yeah, it's clear to me that he is targeting Democratic cities. Telling the Chicago Tribune, this is a man who's suffering dementia. This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can't get it out of his head. He doesn't read. He doesn't know anything that's up to date. Man, it sounds like that podcast, the Taco Tits podcast. He's got something stuck in his head. He doesn't read. He doesn't do anything. He doesn't know anything. He's no good. He's got dementia. Yeah, it was just a dumb report. Yeah, but it was funny. It was definitely funny. Yeah, I like it. ABC's off the rails.

15:37 They may be the worst of the group. They've gotten worse, they're worse than CBS. Well it should all change. Let's do Barry Weiss because that's, you know, we talked about it when it was rumored and of course now the rumor appears to be true that Sky Dance has purchased Barry's news outfit, her substack. I had a lunch with a friend of mine, ex-Buffer Wiley's friend, I haven't seen him for a decade, he used to be at the Wall Street Journal, an entrepreneurial guy, and he's bitching about this. And I have to harken back to some of the things I witnessed when I was at Ziff Davis with some of these companies. And the fact that they bought a, I don't know,

16:22 which is basically a blog, the Barry Weiss Free Press. No, it's worse, it's a sub-stack. It's actually on someone else's platform. It's basically a blog, well, it's a blog on a blogging platform. There you go, there you go. And so, and I can't fault sub-stack. I mean, I do a sub-stack thing and they do a good job of getting their stuff shipped. And so they spent 150 million bucks, but I don't believe it for a minute. My thinking is the following. We need to get you over to CBS, Barry. So what we're going to do is we're going to buy you out and we... Well, okay, you can buy me out. How much do you think I can get here? Well, you know, we can give you a couple million. That would be reasonable. Okay, but can we do a deal here and you can make... Can we both make a joint announcement that's 150 million? Oh, maybe she got some stock.

17:18 No, she didn't get any, she didn't get 150 million. And so, in stock or anything. And so, although you could do some stock, you know, some kind of a scammish stock thing, you know that. And so, okay, let's make that announcement. So this friend of mine, Says you can't use a public company. You can't do that and then my thing it was look Have you ever seen for example just the ditch? I don't know that people out there get a copy of this the Disney for the for example the Disney org chart with the thousands and thousands and thousands of little elements that are involved you don't think you can't hide a

18:00 a couple million dollar transaction and then put something somewhere else and make it look like you actually bought it for 150. It's just creative bookkeeping. So I don't believe for a second she got $150 million. Has there been any official announcement that it was $150 million? Yeah, it was announced over a couple of times. They both said it was. Now whether that, I didn't see it on the, it wasn't announced on a, a 4K or anything that I know of, but it's maybe if it was in a 4K, I'd believe it, but I don't see that. But this is Skydance, not Disney. Is Skydance popular? No, I'm just saying, no, I'm just... Paramount has the same. I was just making the point that if you look at the org chart of these giant corporations, and Disney being the best example, you can hide it. Yeah. Yeah. Put it under talent acquisition.

18:56 Or you could put it under any, it doesn't matter. The whole thing is just that you can't find it. You can't find these numbers. So you can say you spent $150 million and you gave her a couple mil, maybe, and then she's off now doing this stuff over, she'll be editor-in-chief. And this is another little ditty that I noticed. And the editor, editor in chief, that is a publisher's position. There is no editor in chief at a news organization on TV. There's editorial directors. There's, there's chief, you know, there's all kinds of chief of this and chief of that. Or you can be the, well, hold on, hold on. This is an important point. If she's editor in chief, she may be editor in chief of the blog.

19:44 Well, she's still always going to be that. She said that. But that's my point. They specifically said Editor-in-Chief of CBS News. Okay. Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, which is a meaningless title in the television news business. So she actually won't be running the television news division. How about that? I don't think she's going to be running it at all because she's not even going to be... the reporting system is off. But I think she's going to have some influence, but I don't think it's going to be meaningful. And I think I sent you a... I don't have a clip from it, but I sent you because it's so... you know, we're talking about Glenn Greenwald, who's a little wordy to say that you mean Mr. Wordy. Oh, he hates Barry Weiss. He doesn't like Barry Weiss at all. He hates him.

20:34 And he says on his Rumble channel, he says that she's just a pro-Israel, anti-woke... Hey, Pat, chill! Chill! Chill, who doesn't... She's no different than anybody else that's working in media, period. She's not gonna shake things up. I think she's just in charge of the CBS News blog. I think that the title is correct. Well, that's a possibility too. But let's listen to these clips. All right. This is MPR? NPR. Minnesota Public Re... No, it's NPR. I put NPR because I made a mistake and I just copied it over. That's no problem. CBS News is expecting to get a new editor-in-chief. Barry Weiss, the founder of the Free Press, which she started as a response to mainstream news outlets like her former employer, The New York Times.

21:31 With that move, CBS seems to be taking another step to appeal to the right. And the parent company is also acquiring Barry Weiss's publication. NPR's David Fulkenflik is here to discuss all of this. Hi there, David. Good morning, Steve. For those who don't know, who is Barry Weiss? So, Barry Weiss is a writer and editor. She started out writing for Tablet, a publication about Jewish affairs. She wrote about opinion in books and also edited at the Wall Street Journal for its opinions. pages and she enjoyed the opinion pages of the New York Times as sort of a right-of-center contrarian, made a name for herself, wrote increasingly under her own name, and then left with a huge blast in July 2020. It's sort of the peak of the social justice movement. She accused her colleagues in a letter she posted publicly that she sent to the publisher of the New York Times, AG Salzberger, she accused her colleagues of

22:19 bullying her and creating essentially an illiberal atmosphere, unwilling to tolerate debate and dissent in what she said was the smothering culture there, and created the free press kind of in opposition to that as a home for people right of center who saw the press, the media writ large as being reflexively somewhat liberal. Somewhat. Just a tad. Just a little bit liberal. Mm-hmm. Okay. You know the funny thing is I don't have this clip either. I got enough if you notice I have enough clips. Yeah, you got 29 clips. You're over clipped? So she had a little ditty, it was on Twitter, she went on and on about how, what's happening. And again, wordy, she's just like Greenwald, you can't, yuck, yuck, yuck. She says, and so we have our, and she calls her, the group of people that do writing for the Free Press, that blog, she calls them a band of misfits.

23:18 She used the term misfits to describe her staff. I thought that was like, personally, if I was writing for her and I was, you know, in other words, I can't get work, I have to work for you. I mean, I thought it was an insult, a high insult that she just casually, you know, blathered off. I was offended and I didn't even work there. Hey, she's got $150 million on paper. Literally paper. So, it's called F-U money, baby. F-U money. You do whatever you want. Yeah, I get it. I'd be like that too. Yeah, well there you have it. Just go onward. And she gained a lot from that departure in the end. Built up a brand new organization, built up a big subscriber base, attracted a lot of deep pocketed investors and now moves to a mainstream media organization. But what exactly will she do there?

24:13 Well, it's a question I'm told by folks inside the network that it's kind of fluid, but she's editor-in-chief. She certainly will be able to have almost whatever remit she wants. People aren't expecting her to take command of logistics, deploying people to cover a war or a hurricane or something. She doesn't have experience in that kind of complicated calibration and moves. But I think she's going to be working with Tom Sabrowski, who's staying on as the president of CBS News, to kind of set the tone to figure out the scope of coverage, the nature of coverage, the tenor of coverage. You know, she can have a finger in every pie. She's still going to be running the Free Press, which is this right of center publication that will still have its brand separate from CBS News. But, you know, that's the question that I'm hearing from folks inside. They're like, is this going to be that she's bringing a contrarian voice?

24:58 Or is she somehow, you know, as part of the discussion of how coverage is set? Or she's somehow going to be more of an ideological enforcer at a time where there has been reaction to the press and criticism of it from the White House and other quarters. And tremendous pressure on CBS specifically. Yes, there's a lot of pressure. She has 1.7 million subscribers. I'm not sure how many of those are paying subscribers. About every 10 posts is a subscriber post only. So she could conceivably be doing several hundred thousand dollars a month, you know, 10x that. You know, but I see where they can, Silicon Valley-wise, calculate some value.

25:40 No. No, just no. No, it's not true. You heard it here first. It's not true. It will come out. It will never come out. These things never come out. These are all private deals or they're hidden. swept under the rug who knows no But it's beside the point is just a you know splash to make did to make a lot of noise Oh look at what you can do. I think I should start one, too So you did the Oasis I wait you're waiting for the call yes millions sky dance I'm waiting for your call So here we go with the end of this. This does raise an interesting question because you can have opinions about the news, but then you have an institution with many hundreds of employees around the world and the question of how they deploy themselves, how they cover it, how you work the mechanics of that, that can matter as much as your outside opinion of what's going on. That's right.

26:34 I think that the real question is going to be how Weiss sees herself. Is she seeing herself as a change agent or a disruption agent in the model of Elon Musk in the early Doge weeks of the Trump administration? Or is she seeing herself as an important and defining voice for CBS but an institution worth preserving with, you know, major tentpoles like 60 Minutes? that have been so defining for American broadcast journalism for so many decades. And so I think inside CBS there's a willingness to entertain a different way of thinking about the news and also an apprehension about are they ultimately going to be adhering to the same set of values even if it's interpreted in slightly different ways. Hmm, both the openness and the apprehension, very interesting. David, thanks. Very, very interesting. That's NPR media correspondent David Fulmer. Very, very interesting.

27:22 Eighteen years and we've never been called change agents. I'm kind of disappointed. So one of the things that people should note is that the real key in media and changing the way the propaganda is set up and pushed out is simple. It's just story selection. Sure, you have to spare and you see it all the time. That's why Twitter and all these guys will bring up this and Fox will do it. They'll bring up stories that the mainstream won't talk about the idea this character Jay Jones who threatened or didn't threaten basically should put two bullets in his

28:02 Upon his head and what and this kid should what or this kid should die in his mother's arms and he is a sick guy It was it. There's a they did a graphic and it was covered for 63 seconds on NBC CBS did not play it at all and neither did ABC ABC for sure NBC had 63 seconds coverage of this which Fox is just hounding because it is affecting the campaign and you're gonna see the same thing with this Katie Porter thing which is blowed up but as long as you blow it up on social media. Yeah even I saw that and this is some numbnut who's running for governor. No

28:42 Numnut who's winning the race for governor. Oh, she's winning the race for governor. Oh, that's even worse She's ahead by every on every she's a head by 17 points Over all the competition this woman this is she was anointed. She was the anointed one by the Democrat Party in California Wow, she's a she's a pig basically You can still get out. There's time you can still do it and So, um, why? It's too much. It's a hoot. Speaking of M5M, the numbers now are in. Of course, you won't see it as a headline.

29:25 After his glorious comeback, Jimmy Kimmel sheds 85% of his key viewers. Yeah, I know, they drop right back, probably a little bit below what it was before. Yeah, yeah, so they're gonna have to come up with some other gambit to get rid of him, or they're just gonna have to write it off. I mean, they have to do something with that. They can never go for that again. No, they could have done it by being honest and saying, look, the ratings are... Why don't they just come out and be honest? The ratings are crap that's costing us a fortune to do this show. We're killing it. You know, they could do it now. Now that I think about it, they could say, you know... Oh, you're right. Jimmy had the resurgence. This is exactly the right time to do it. Yeah, he couldn't hold on to them.

30:12 That really shows that it's just not going to work. We tried everything for you, Jimmy. We even brought you back, gave you the biggest comeback ratings of the century, and you just couldn't do it, brother. I'm sorry. You gotta go. Yeah, now's the time to do it. You can't just dilly-dally And he said on behalf of Skydance. We just can't have oh no. It's not in Skydance crap On behalf of Skydancer a Tinkerbell Tinkerbell says we can't have you I'm sorry dude this would be the time so the The big big big big news. This is a flooded all of the timelines everybody's talking about it and

30:55 It was, uh, the Deadman Switch! Have you heard about the Deadman Switch? I'm about to. Well, see now I don't know if and now I'm afraid to do it, because you know, you're already in a... I think you're in a bad mood. Are you in a bad mood? Are you trying to make me put me in a bad mood by saying that? No. You're leading into this in a very awkward way. Because of how you respond. Twice, I'm about to. You build it up as everybody's talking about it. I don't know what you're talking about right away. So before we do that, I got to pull the rug out from under your thesis. I got a note from Sydney.

31:38 And she says, Sidney, Sidney, Sidney, girl, Sidney. She says, as a sincere and genuine fan of the show and sister in Christ, which of course gets my attention, I want to bring your attention to the idea that you may be being a bit overly mean and condescending towards John on the show. Yes. It's been... let me finish the note. It's been an ongoing thing, but I feel like it has gotten worse and worse, where you almost show a complete lack of respect towards him. And he is always so graceful and doesn't feed into your passive-aggressive shade. I'm sure you're not doing it with malice in your heart, but come on Adam, let's try to be nice. I feel bad sometimes. It just feels like you've hurt his feelings.

32:22 We will all age and get older one day. Well, that part should get left out. Now we've got to read the whole thing. And we should all hope that we have the mental aptitude that John does. I know I'd be blessed to. So it's not nice to make fun of that. You act like his clips don't matter or what he has to say doesn't matter. This is true. Just have your own solo show. He's failing it. Just have your- wait I gotta read it in the voice. Just have your own solo show then. Oh, but you won't do that, right? Why? Because John matters! Well, she's got that too. She must be a pro. She's like a media analyst or something. I sincerely apologize. Of course, there's no No Agenda without the two of us. That would never work. I don't want to do my own solo show. Your condescension works for me. See, that's my point.

33:19 He likes it. No, this is the dead man switch that Candace Owens has thrown the dead man switch. I've seen this again. I never heard of this. I went ahead this week and sent around a life insurance policy of sorts. A package rather to people that I trust. A package filled with text messages, emails, private communications, videos and private legal documents. So if anything happens to me, you guys will know exactly who it is that has been making my life a living hell. over the past couple of years. People that are trying to bankrupt me, trying to bankrupt me and my family, that are threatening us, to sue us. Everything that Kanye said was so real, okay? And now at that point where you look back and you go, man, Kanye was right. He was really saying something about what it takes to leave, you know, to fight for custody of your own soul. Just leave me alone. Let me say what I believe and you say what you believe. Fight fair. Why do you always have to make this threat to bankrupt people?

34:18 And I want you to know that those people, if anything happens to me, they have my explicit permission to release it all, detonate it all, expose all of these people in politics and in the movement who behave like this behind the scenes. It's necessary. And I highly recommend every single person that is out there, that has a platform and is going through things and is scared, do the same. Send everything around to about eight people that you trust. And I mean, I've arranged it. I sent it to journalists, text messages and screenshots to people ranging from Max Blumenthal to Andrew Tate. They won't know where it's coming from. Okay, so first of all, this is a recommendation we need to take seriously. I think we should have our own dead man switch.

35:00 Hold on a second. Let's just talk about her dead man switch first. So she is making an implication. This is news to me because I don't... That's her... You're her... She's your beat. Yes, my beat. I haven't listened to a Candace Owens show for probably two years. I don't listen either, but I could not avoid this clip. It just kept getting sent to me. So I presume our people are into this. I don't get it. So she's bitching about the Jews. Wait, you're jumping the gun. There's another part to this. Well, let me finish what I think.

35:37 She's bitching about the Jews and she sent around a bunch of, because she said they're out to bankrupt, they're out to this, they're out to that. All she's sending around is a bunch of payment due notices because she's not paying her mortgage. That's what it seems like to me. She's blaming the Jews. I think she's paying her mortgage, we'll get to that. Here's the second part. Three people told me off record Two people who have this in a written communication from Charlie, one who is a Turning Point USA donor and I would say very much one of the White Knights in this. Okay, we'll stick a pin in that because we will hear from one of the White Knights in a moment because the White Knight emerged after the dead man switch was thrown. The very day before Charlie Kirk died he expressed that he thought he was going to be killed.

36:33 He told these people I think they're going to kill me. Okay? He did not express that to me. So I am telling you this based off the testimony of three people. Testimony. And I am saying this because I hope that these people who I think are good will be inspired to come forward with that. Again, those conversations I had were off record. I honor that. If I say it's off record, it stays off record. But I'm hoping that watching what I am doing and feeling the energy that is rising across the world for people who want to know what the heck happened on 9-10, that they will be brave and they will say, yeah, Charlie did the day before he died think that he was going to be killed and maybe tell us who was they for once and for all, who was they? Who is the they that he thought was going to kill him?

37:18 Now to answer, and others knew that Charlie was done with Israel bullying him and I am now going to present you proof of what I am saying. This is an actual group chat which happened two days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated. There were nine people in total on this chat, including Charlie. Okay, so she's talking about they and it's Israel. And when I saw it's a little confused, it was confusing to me. Is this the Jews? Is it Israel? I'm not sure who it is, but they are Coming after Candace and her family and by the way, I don't think we need to be too worried About Candace and her family, you know, her husband is right? Oh, yeah. She's some rich guy. Well George Farmer Who was at Turning Point UK? He was the CEO of parlor. I'm just reminding you and

38:09 And his family is really what's most interesting. His dad, Michael Farmer, he is a barren farmer, I should note. And so he is a lifetime peer. Duh! So he's connected to the United Kingdom. We'll continue now with Candace's revelation of the text thread. So Charlie Wright... Hold on a second. So you're actually tying this into your nexus? Oh wait, it's coming, it's coming. I knew it. It's coming. So Charlie writes in this group chat, just lost another huge Jewish donor, two million a year because we won't cancel. Tucker, I'm thinking of inviting Candace. Somebody writes, ugh. Charlie writes, Jewish donors play into all of the stereotypes. I cannot and will not be bullied like this.

39:09 leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause. So what are we to make of that? Okay, now that I'm showing you this and showing to you that the conversations were real, I want you to reflect, and it took me a lot of patience to allow the lies that were being woven and the misrepresentations, and eulogizing Charlie as something and someone that never once flinched, never once for a single second doubted, the Israeli cause. So now here's Charlie saying, and you know he did a whole roundtable with Gen Zers, and I think he was in general in agreement with them about Israel, but not about Jews, but about Israel.

39:58 So, out emerges after Candace posts her dead man switch, which I think she just told us what's in it. I'm not sure what else could be in there that she sent to the... What's the guy's name? Andrew, what's his name? I don't know. Andrew Tate. She sent it to him. Oh, Tate. Yeah, that guy's on my list of dead man switch operators, Andrew Tate. So, out of the woodwork emerges John Mappin. and John Mappin's post is, by the way, I have a blue check mark. I don't know how you get to post 500 words on X. I just can't seem to get it done. I think you have to pay. Oh, you have to be paying blue check. And he's like,

40:44 If Candace Owens had been assassinated, Charlie would have torn apart every lie and devoted every working day and night to uncover the full truth. Candace is working hard to get to the truth of who killed Charlie Kirk and why they did it. Charlie's execution is an assassination with potentially far-reaching political consequences for America and the world. What we have seen so far, beggars belief. Who says beggars belief? Oh! It's this guy, John Mappin. International, this is from his own website, international real estate hospitality construction and media entrepreneur. He is the seventh generation of the Mappin family to invest in innovative ways to deploy capital.

41:29 While his father, David Mappin, invested to develop the technologies that allowed the national treasure of North Sea oil to benefit the people of the United Kingdom, John Mappin has taken the family into new areas of investment and innovation. He has built a reputation as a hard-working, progressive, and inspirational businessman with expansive philanthropic interests, particularly the field of education in free market economies, environmental restoration, and conservation of the natural world. This is what got me. John Mappin and his wife Irina Kudronok Mappin

42:07 are the co-founders and originators of the global reforestation initiative that became the conceptual backbone and inception point of the current form of the Dutch green business, a publicly quoted main market listing on the Amsterdam exchange Euronext. Well with that I'm like okay, here we go. It's signed. Here we are! Because the North Sea Nexus has emerged to blame it on the Jews. This is... it could not get any better.

42:50 Yeah, that's it. Piecing it together that way is good. That was good. Because the fact is if anybody was going to kill Candace Owens, it would probably be the DGSE, which is the French CIA. Well, so this will be the final time I'm doing this because I'm tired of it. But I just brought back a few clips The last time I'm going to explain how this works and then I'll be done with it and then we'll have... No you won't. Well... This is a blatant lie. I'm not so sure because I'm bringing back clips from over a year ago and we've learned that people say, well you never talk about the moon landing. Well, we've only talked about it 8,000 times on the show. And you can go to bingit.io and you can find everything we've always talked about. But it's our own fault because we've been doing this too long.

43:45 You know, and then we get. No, I agree with. I mean, we what it's not that we've been doing it too long as it was a disservice to the public. What we've done is we've taken for granted. Yes. That everyone who's listening to the show as we speak right now has no is what we talked about 10 years ago. Yes. That's the problem. So from time to time, and I think annually would be OK. I need to bring back a couple of things. But first, We have to talk about what an idiot Netanyahu is. He is truly, truly an idiot. And this is the clip where he called Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson and everybody else the woke Reich. Christian influencers, you said, we talked about the woke Reich. You said, I call it the woke Reich.

44:39 Ha ha ha! So he calls him the Woke Reich, which is of course really offensive to anybody. I like it though. It would be a great show title, but still, it's like, I call them the Woke Reich. So what do you think Tucker's gonna say to that? Like, of course. Now he was saying this And then this is all being, I didn't have to do any work for this. Just as popped up on my time, everybody's saying, this is what our people are looking at and talking about. So that's why I'm bringing it up. This was in front of a bunch of what the text says, Christian Zionists who are on a work retreat to Israel under the auspices of Paula White, who is the White House Faith Office leader. And so this is, you know, so obviously when you're doing this stuff,

45:34 It's a very bad take. But they're actually meeting on some of those things. And what we have to do is we have to secure that part of our, the base of our support in the United States. That is being challenged systematically. A lot of this is done with money. Money of NGOs? Fast. Money of governments? Fast. Okay? We have to fight back. How do we fight back? Our influencers. I think you should also talk to them if you have a chance.

46:12 to that community, they're very important. And secondly, we're going to have to use the tools of battle. Yeah, so are influencers, so already you're talking propagandistic terms and nobody's deaf out here. We hear what you're saying and so this is the classic TikTok. We have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we're engaged. And the most important ones are on social media. And the most important purchase that is going on right now is... What Netanyahu calls the eighth front. So one of the things we have fought now, a seven front war, we have an eighth front. And that is the front and the battle for truth. So he's warring now on social media, which is in a way in our own backyard. And the ADL, which I believe the FBI is now broken with, we're not going to take any more information from you, introduced this in Congress as well.

47:24 to recognize that there is an eighth front in this war. It might not be a terrestrial border that you can find on a map. But this domain is as volatile, is as violent, and is as vital to our future. The information sphere, the infosphere, is the eighth front in this war. And seizing the high ground in the fight for global public opinion is a battle that's as important to the long-term war That's what you've done in Lebanon and Syria. All right, so now of course we have to take into account that AIPAC absolutely is an American-Israeli public affairs committee and they, as Massey said, everybody, everyone has at least one AIPAC lobbyist. Now of course I will explain once again where that money comes from but

48:19 When you're talking like this and you're talking to influencers and everybody's seeing what you're saying, and you actually do put your foreign money into something in the United States, it shows up on a FARA report, Foreign Agent Report, by the company that took the Israeli money to do the following. And all you need is for Ian Carroll to get a hold of it. Targeted geofencing, right there. Description, largest geofencing and targeted Christian digital campaign ever. Geofence the actual boundaries of every major church in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado, and all Christian colleges during worship times. Track attendees and continue to target with ads. So what that means is that Israel, the state of Israel,

49:13 on this FARA registration is disclosing that a foreign state is paying for an influence campaign that will actively locate your cell phone if you go to church in any of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado. They will target and track your phone at church. And then when you leave church, they will continue to track you and send you customized Israel ads. using Israeli money to back that campaign. That's why we have FARA, is so that they have to disclose shit like this. Well, yeah, and so they did. And the funny thing about this is when you present it this way, you kind of forget that the Mars Corporation is doing this, you know, for dog food. This is how it's done. This is why phones are so beautiful,

50:10 because the geofencing advertising, that's exactly what's happening. Yeah and that's why I keep my phone in a drawer. I don't understand why everybody doesn't adopt my policy. And you're not wrong, but this only fuels the conspiracy. And then Netanyahu does the dumbest thing he could do, because he feels it. He feels that this is turning into Jew hate instead of just plain old Israel hate, which by the way I'm fine with. You can hate Israel, I don't care. You can hate AIPAC, I don't care. I don't like AIPAC either, especially not because I think that they're coming from a whole different perspective from the military industrial complex. We'll reiterate that in a moment. So Netanyahu feels this, oh, gotta do some damage control. What is the dumbest thing you can do?

49:13 on this FARA registration is disclosing that a foreign state is paying for an influence campaign that will actively locate your cell phone if you go to church in any of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Colorado. They will target and track your phone at church. And then when you leave church, they will continue to track you and send you customized Israel ads. using Israeli money to back that campaign.

So Netanyahu feels this, oh, gotta do some damage control. What is the dumbest thing you can do?

50:58 Go on Ben Shapiro show and do it This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of I don't know if Hilton advised him on this but here's no No, I guess not. Yeah, I know what I do. Just call up Ben explain to Americans Why should it matter whether America maintains a strong alliance with Israel in defense terms in tech terms? Well, let me first start with the America first. Oh, I stopped a clip Going back to that thesis. This is Ben Ben's the guy Oh, yeah, the guy who made the call good point. Hey, BB. We'll fix it. We'll make it right. I Think you're right. This is Ben's call and but again, you should say no, this is not this is not the right form No, you do what? No, you don't even do that You'd call the Hill and Nolten guy and say should I be doing what should I be doing? Yes Yes, because I got a big out in some sort of way. I

51:53 Explain to Americans why should it matter whether America maintains a strong alliance with Israel in defense terms and tech terms? Well, let me first start with the America first. That's a natural position would be unnatural to have a different position but America first doesn't mean America alone because all countries need allies and if you without allies who may be who may develop the technologies that are needed for your defense and or the technologies that are needed for your offense, or the intelligence to save your lives. Why forfeit yourself of these allies? The problem that you've had over the years, the United States, is that you didn't have these allies pulling their weight. And Israel is an ally, it's a fighting ally that pulls its weight.

52:33 Not only that, not only do we fight and we don't ask for Americans to bring boots on the ground, we've done the job of defending ourselves pretty well I'd say over the last 77 years. But it's not only that, we've also defeated enemies who are your enemies who are trying to develop intercontinental ballistic missiles. Armed with nuclear warheads to attack your cities. That's what Iran was doing We just knocked out Iran also with as I said with President Trump's very judicious and pointed assistance now bear all this in mind He said very specifically and that's why I brought this clip in we don't have any American boots on the ground We're doing this. I know everyone's really upset You can't afford your rent and we're sending 10 billion a year to Israel and military assistance. I know

53:16 The second clip was actually the meat and potatoes of the visit. But again, if you did this on Megyn Kelly's show, on Tucker Carlson's show, anywhere but on Ben Shapiro's show, it would have had some traction. I wonder if you want to talk a little about the relationship that you personally have with President Trump, which is obviously in public quite warm. Well, it's in private quite warm. It doesn't mean that we agree on everything or at any one time we agree on every point. That's what we have a conversation for. Do you have that in your family? A lot. Yeah? You want to see who wins out? Your wife my wife always yes, well in this case. It's not a husband-and-wife situation. It's a question of partners We're the junior partner. Oh, we have no Nobody should mistake that because we're the junior partner. This is this is the key. We're the junior partner We're not in control here with the junior partner. It's a question of partners. We're the junior partner I mean we have no nobody should mistake that because right now the Liberty of the world is

54:15 The security of the world is dependent on the strength of the United States. And I think what President Trump has done in a very short time is bring America back to the front seat, to the driver's seat in world affairs. And that's very, very important because I think we all depend on America's strength and its resolve. And I think President Trump has made America I really believe that. OK, so that has always been our point. Israel is the junior partner. And to take you back, and I've shortened these and only done a couple of them, Michael Hudson was there when this happened. And I think President Trump, if you want to talk about a deep state, this is it. The deep state is what was set up in the 70s.

55:04 primarily through the State Department and the Department of Defense, military industrial complex, was to use Israel for everything we wanted to do in the Middle East, which always comes back to oil, always. And the true dismantling of that is what Marco Rubio started to do under the auspices of Doge, is get all of these people out who were brought in specifically because of their intense Zionist feelings about Israel. So yeah, that is and certainly was a real thing, but that is what is now being cleaned up.

55:41 So it started back in the 70s. Michael Hudson was there when it happened. Everything that's happened today was planned out just 50 years ago, back in 1974, 1973 and 4. I sat in on meetings with the ARAD who became Netanyahu, who's a chief military advisor after hitting Mossad. The whole strategy was worked out essentially by the Defense Department, by neoliberals, and almost in a series of stages that I'll explain. Scoop Jackson is the main name to remember. Scoop Jackson was the ultra right-wing neocon who sponsored them all. He was the head of the Democratic National Committee in 1960 and then worked with military advisors

55:04 primarily through the State Department and the Department of Defense, military industrial complex, was to use Israel for everything we wanted to do in the Middle East, which always comes back to oil, always.

So yeah, that is and certainly was a real thing, but that is what is now being cleaned up.

55:41 So it started back in the 70s. Michael Hudson was there when it happened. Everything that's happened today was planned out just 50 years ago, back in 1974, 1973 and 4. I sat in on meetings with the ARAD who became Netanyahu, who's a chief military advisor after hitting Mossad. The whole strategy was worked out essentially by the Defense Department, by neoliberals, and almost in a series of stages that I'll explain. Scoop Jackson is the main name to remember. Scoop Jackson was the ultra right-wing neocon who sponsored them all. He was the head of the Democratic National Committee in 1960 and then worked with military advisors

56:33 I was with Herman Kahn, the model for Dr. Strangelove at the Hudson Institute during these years, and I sat in on meetings, and I'll describe them, but I want to describe how the whole strategy that led to the United States today not wanting peace, wanting to take over the whole Near East, took shape gradually. And to remind everybody, the reason why we did it this way is because after the Vietnam War, before 9-11, but after the Vietnam War, it was impossible to get a draft going. No one wanted to go fight any foreign wars very similar to today. And why would you? Because these are all banker wars and oil wars, etc.

57:13 The starting point for all the US strategy here was that democracies no longer can field a domestic army with a military draft. America is not in a position able to really field enough of an army to invade a country, and without invading a country, you can't really take it over. You can bomb it, But that just is going to incite resistance. So this was recognized 50 years ago. And it seemed at that time that the US-backed wars were going to have to be scaled down. But that hasn't happened. And the reason is the United States had a fallback position. It was going to rely on foreign

57:56 troops to do the fighting as proxies instead of itself. That was a solution to get a force. Well, the first example was to create the Wahhabi jihad fighters in Afghanistan as Al Qaeda. and Jimmy Carter mobilized them against the secular Afghan interests. The Carter doctrine, the nice Democrat Jimmy Carter. Carter justified this by saying, well yes they're Muslims but after all we all believe in God. So the answer to the secular state of Afghan was Wahhabi fanaticism and jihad. And the United States realized that in order to have

58:39 an army that's willing to fight to the last member of its country, the last Afghan, the last Israeli, the last Ukrainian. You really need a country whose spirit is one of hatred towards the other, a spirit very different from the American and European spirit. Well, Brzezinski was the grand planner who did all that. So I hope people are starting to get the picture when you hear Afghanistan, you hear Israel, you hear Ukraine. This has always been the status quo of our State Department is we're going after them, but we're going to do it with people who hate our enemy, whether it's Russia or whether it's Muslims or whether it's oil countries. That has always been the system and this is why Israel

59:27 was and still is important to us. When all of this strategy was being put together, Herman Kahn's great achievement was to convince the US empire builders that the key to achieving their control of the Middle East was to rely on Israel as its foreign legion. And that arm's-length arrangement enabled the United States to play the role, as I said, of the good cop, designating Israel to play its role. And Israel has organized and supplied al-Nusra, al-Qaeda, while the United States pretends to denounce them. And it's all part of a plan that's been backed

1:00:05 by the military, the State Department, and the national security operations. And that's why the State Department has turned over management of U.S. diplomacy to Zionists, seemingly distinguishing Israeli behavior from U.S. empire building. But in a nutshell, the Israelis have joined al-Qaeda and ISIS's troops as America's foreign legion. And so in reality, the Jews were abused by the military-industrial complex under the guise of AIPAC to get the money flowing and to always have more war and always rile everybody up about it because the whole system was indeed driven by what we would call Zionists. But it's all military money. The US policy, as I said, was based on the US actually taking over

1:00:59 all of these countries, again using Israel as the... That by the way is the West Clark 7, all these countries. Yeah, is the battering ram, what the army called America's landed aircraft carrier there. Well, all this began to take place in the 1960s with Henry Jackson. Initially, Israel didn't really play a role in the US plan. Jackson simply hated communism. He hated the Russians and he got a lot of support within the Democratic Party. He was a senator from Washington State and that was the center of military industrial complex.

1:01:38 He was called, nicknamed the Senator from Boeing. Jackson was fighting all the arms controls. We've got to have war. And he proceeded to stuff the State Department and other U.S. agencies with neocons who planned from the beginning for a permanent worldwide war and this takeover of government policy was led by Jackson's former Senate aides. These Senate aides were Paul Wolowitz, Richard Perle, Douglas Fyfe, and others who were catapulted into the commanding heights of the State Department and more recently the National Security Council. The Jackson-Bannock Amendment to the U.S. Trade Act of 1974 became the model for subsequent sanctions against the Soviet Union.

1:02:31 claiming that it was a claim was that it limited Jewish immigration and other human rights. So right then the State Department realized here is a group of people who we can use as the theoreticians and the executors of the US policy that we want. They both want to take over all of the Arab countries. I don't think there were any non-Jewish Americans that had that visceral hatred of Islam that the Zionists had, or also the visceral hatred of Russia, specifically for its anti-Semitism of past centuries, most of which was in Ukraine, by the way. Exactly. And now you understand Victoria Nuland, why she was involved in Ukraine, always getting other people to fight for us. And I believe

1:03:21 truly believe President Trump doesn't want that and he's dismantling that but it's a big system to dismantle and Part of it has been giving the military more money giving them other things to focus on Golden Dome big beautiful ships. Hey, we're gonna get your money We don't necessarily have to be killing people all the time and the media has been so complicit in this that That you've got to wonder if you are listening to this podcast and you're basically in line with crazy Palestinian protesters from the river to the sea, doesn't that tell you something? That doesn't make a lot of sense other than this has been a system that has been going on for as long as I've been on planet Earth. It's a long time.

1:04:07 So how was the media complicit? This is a former AP reporter talking about how all of our reports coming out of Gaza... were completely corrupted. As far as I know, I was the first staffer to erase information from a story because we were threatened by Hamas, which happened at the very end of 2008. We had a great reporter in Gaza, a Palestinian, who had always been really an excellent reporter. We had a detail in a story. The detail was a crucial one. It was that Hamas fighters were dressed as civilians and were being counted as civilians in the death toll. An important thing to know, that went out in an AP story, the reporter called me a few hours later, it was clear that someone had spoken to him.

1:04:49 And he told me, I was on the desk in Jerusalem, so I was kind of writing the story from the main bureau in Jerusalem. And he said, Mati, you have to take that detail out of the story. And it was clear that someone had threatened him. I took the detail out of the story. I suggested to our editors that we note in an editor's note that we were now complying with Hamas censorship. I was overruled. And from that point in time, the AP, like all of its sister organizations, collaborates with Hamas censorship in Gaza. What does that mean? You'll see a lot of dead civilians and you won't see dead militants, you won't have a clear idea of what the Hamas military strategy is, and this is the kicker, the center of the coverage will be a number, a casualty number that is provided to the press by something called the Gaza Health Ministry, which is Hamas.

1:05:32 and we've been doing that since 2008 and it's a way of basically settling the story before you get into any other information because when you put you know when you say 50,000 50 50 Palestinians were killed and one Israeli on a given day you know it doesn't matter what else you say. That's always been your complaint John the Hamas Medical Information Bureau. Yeah the fake numbers. Yeah fake numbers. Which was as statisticians have come out and and determine that these numbers are fake just based on theory. Well, it gets even worse because now you only really have three kinds of reports coming out of this region. The numbers kind of tell their own story and it's a way of kind of settling the story with something that sounds like a concrete statistic and the statistic is

1:06:18 being given to us by one of the combatant sides, but because the reporters sympathize with that side, they're happy to play along. So since 2008, certainly since 2014 when we had another serious war in Gaza, the press has not been covering in Gaza. The press has been essentially an amplifier for one of the most poisonous ideologies on earth. figured out how to make the press amplify its messaging rather than covering Hamas. There are no Western reporters in Gaza. All of the reporters in Gaza are Palestinians and those people fall into three categories. Some of them identify with Hamas, some of them are intimidated by Hamas and won't cross Hamas, which makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't want to cross Hamas either. And the third category is people who actually belong to Hamas.

1:07:08 That's where the information from Gaza is coming from and if you're credulous then of course you're gonna get a story that makes Israel look pretty bad. Exactly. So I'm gonna land with the plane with this. The problem I have with this is that people are confusing Zionists with Jewish people. And Candace Owens throwing gasoline on the fire by saying, those people, they're bankrupting me. It's the Jews. As you identified, she's saying it's the Jews. And as I was thinking about this, I'm like, I have seen this movie before. I have seen this movie before.

1:07:48 The movie is actually called Bonhoeffer and a guy named Eric Metaxas, he's a, I think he's still a pastor, but he wrote a book called A Letter to the American Church about a year ago. And it's about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a pastor in Germany during World War II. And the church in Germany, when the trains are going by with the Jews being carted off, and just to cover up the screams of the people in the cattle cars, the church said, just turn up the music, just sing a little louder so we don't have to hear it. Here's a quick Eric Metaxas, and it really accentuates the point. You know, the lie that he was dealing with in his day is the same lie we're dealing with in our day, which is what led me to write my book Letter to the American Church. What would Bonhoeffer say today? It's the same excuses being given by the church. We don't do politics.

1:08:42 What do you mean you don't do politics? Slavery is an issue and you say, well, we don't take a position. That's political. We just do church. How can you do church and not take an issue on enslaving human beings? That's politics. My hero, William Wilberforce, I wrote a biography of William Wilberforce. He was a politician who, because of his Christian faith, said, I must stand against the slave trade. This is a satanic abomination treating human beings like this. I'm going to use politics and culture and whatever I can do to change the laws. That's our duty as Christians. It's our duty as Americans. And so Bonhoeffer was trying to get the church to see it in his day. And again, many were like, we don't want any trouble. We're just going to do church. We'll let the evil take over. We don't care. It's not affecting us. It's affecting the Jews.

1:09:27 God judges that. It's affecting the Jews, we don't care. And so that's the only issue I have with it. I'm not doing an AIPAC commercial like people say, oh how much did AIPAC pay you guys to say that? I do not want war. I think President Trump has the right idea. Let's clean everything up. Let's stop the fighting in Ukraine. in Gaza, fine, rebuild it, all the Arab nations seem to be on board. He seems to really be trying to make peace. And the kicker to it all is this was actually Charlie Kirk's vision. Our vision, and it might be foolishly optimistic, but

1:10:07 I've been called that before and now you can kind of see it. We want a thousand Dietrich Bonhoeffers. We're not gonna say like we're gonna create them. I want to find them and encourage them. That's it. Find and encourage. Find and encourage. That's it. Because I'm not gonna like train people or pass like it. I just want to find and encourage. Here's a branding idea. Dietrich Bonhoeffer died as a martyr. Yeah. I'm with a thousand Martin Luther's. It's got a little more... That's fair. I like the Bonhoeffer example because of the circumstances, the tyranny. Yes, yes. But you know, I also like the Bonhoeffer because I never want to make anyone feel as if I'm being anything but honest. It's gonna cost us something. God forbid our life like that. but eventually we're all going to have to go to heaven. And so Bonhoeffer is the example of, hey, I'm willing to sacrifice everything I have for God's purpose on earth. But I hear you, it's not exactly the greatest sales pitch. No, no, no, I suppose I'd rather die on a glorious martyrdom than by getting a Doritos stuck in my throat. They say you die twice, when you actually die and the last time somebody mentions your name. Bonhoeffer will be mentioned, I think, as long as human beings have breath.

1:11:03 There you go. So Charlie Kirk understood very well what was happening and he even said that some of these Jewish donors are so stereotypical. So are there bad Jewish donors? Absolutely. But is the system is the system that we need to fight against. Is that the problem? Yes. And I think President Trump is doing it, and we all need to just chill out a little bit on how the Jews are running everything. They run the media. Well, they're doing a great job of that. They run social media. They're going to buy TikTok. Oh yeah, that's really going to change anything? No. So just chill out on the Jew hate. That's all that I'm asking for.

1:11:52 The North Sea Nexus Report with Adam Curry. Could not have been more dramatic. And the North Sea Nexus is fueling this nonsense with Candace Owen and her royal family. So we don't have to do it for another year. Ha! At least not about AIPAC, for sure. They'll come up within two months. Okay, maybe. Maybe. Okay, well I'm glad you got that out of your system. Yeah, yeah, I did.

1:12:29 By the way, we just bought $6 billion worth of icebreakers from Finland. That gives us something to do. Yeah, spend more money, man. We've got to spend the money. Hey, Europe, by the way, this is really, speaking of military-industrial complex, I think you have a couple of Macron analysis clips. But first we had Herr Ursula this morning surviving her second no-confidence vote. because they're really fighting her. And I have a feeling that this is all about the... because, you know, Europe is in a hole. They're going to borrow more money. And where's that money going to go? Germany. It's all going to go to Germany. And I think this prime minister and Macron and all these guys, I think they screwed it up and they're not going to get any of that money. And it's because Germany is, as usual,

1:13:27 Germany is running the show in the European Union. This report kind of says it from F24. Emmanuel Macron has been president since 2017 and he's had, as we were hearing before, seven prime ministers. This is the shortest reigning prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, but some of the previous ones have also been pretty short. And the reason for that is that during the first term in office, five years from 2017 to 2022, things were going fairly okay for Emmanuel Macron. He had a majority in Parliament, could pass the policies that he wanted to get through. But when he was re-elected in 2022, he wasn't given a majority in Parliament to be able to push through more reforms that he had planned.

1:14:11 That has led to him calling snap elections last year after the far-right national rally did very well in the European elections, thinking that with that he could win back a substantial majority in the National Assembly and pursue these reforms that he wanted to pursue, notably to try to reboot the French economy because of the 3.3 trillion euro debt that France has right now, which is absolutely colossal and is preventing the country from reorganizing its public services basically. From boosting the war economy. This was all about the money. They can't get it together. And how many people live in France? 40 million?

1:14:52 You happen to know? There's more than that now. I think it's more like 50. Well, that's 40 million French and the rest are imports. Well, I don't know. But that's like our level debt per capita. It's high and they have issues, but you have to remember the French have had nothing but issues. I mean, this is the fifth go-round of re-org-ing their government. This began in 1958. There never used to be a president like there is now. It's called the Fifth Republic and it started in 1958. Was that the military guy? What was his name again? No, no, that's before. That's the Fourth Republic. That was, you're thinking of De Gaulle. No, no, the guy, maybe it was De Gaulle. Yeah, okay. Yeah, De Gaulle was running things, but he, but

1:15:41 But it was a parliamentary system like you have in England, but England also has a monarch. And so the parliamentary system, it's the prime minister's the big deal, but in France they came up with this, during the fifth republic, they redesigned the government and said we have to have a president. And so the president's gonna be the guy who's really gonna be running things. And the prime minister's just gonna be the guy in charge of making the laws get passed. And so that started in earnest in 1962 as it evolved into a mess that it is. And it all started in the first place because the French had so many political parties they could never agree on anything. It was a disaster. They started a republic but they didn't do it right. Well, this was the fifth republic. They've started a republic five times now. Different versions of the same. Get a clue people. It's not going to work.

1:16:35 Well, it's not going to work the way they're doing it. And now that they've had gone through, I think, four prime ministers in one year. Yeah, something like that. And this last guy says, you know, he just goes in, he looks around, he says, I can't do this job. It's impossible. I quit. I'm out. And so everyone's now, so well, let's get rid of Macron. Maybe that'll fix things. No, nothing's going to fix anything. I have a couple clips. I think Macron wants to go into the European Parliament. I think he would love to unseat Ursula, but he's got no juice. He's got no power. I mean, they have Mirage jets. They got all kinds of stuff. But no one wants to buy it. That's not going to happen. No, that's what I'm saying. The European Parliament is even worse, more of a joke. They don't do anything.

1:17:25 So let's go with the French or France mess. This is from NTD. It's pretty good. Political turmoil deepens in France after the prime minister's resignation on Monday. His departure fuels mounting calls for President Emmanuel Macron to step down amid a growing leadership crisis. NTD international correspondent David Bez reports from Paris. Following Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu's resignation on Monday, France's government is plunged into political chaos. His departure comes after weeks of growing tension in Parliament and a series of internal disputes over the government's handling of economic and social reforms.

1:18:02 Some experts call the situation a political deadlock. Le Corneuil is the fourth prime minister to resign in less than a year. According to legal expert and policy analyst Régis de Castelnau, the root cause lies in a divided parliament, split into blocks that disagree on nearly everything, but can easily unite to vote for a no-confidence motion to reject any new prime minister. This situation is unprecedented. The president appears very weak in a political system where normally he should have significant strength and leverage. But here we are with a completely blocked parliament. There is no majority whatsoever at a moment when there are significant worries over the economic, social, industrial and financial situation. It looks like France is a car without brakes heading toward a wall at high speed.

1:18:51 That's the feeling it gives. It's an unprecedented crisis. Following the resignation, three scenarios are possible. The appointment of a new prime minister, snap legislative elections, or the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron. The last option, once seen as unimaginable in France's political system, is gaining momentum. Not only do 70% of French citizens favor Macron's resignation, according to a poll by Odoxa Backbone Consulting, but calls for him to step down now comes from his own political circle, including former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, who has suggested holding new presidential elections. Oh yeah, that'll fix it.

1:19:30 That'll fix it. But what'll fix it is actually taking the National Front, which is Le Pen's operation, which has 140 seats in Parliament, and they won't give them any power at all. They're basically sidelined the right wing, which needs to take over France. And they won't let him do anything. And so you have all these bickering greens and all these screwball little parties, socialists and communists and everything in between. And they can't get it together because they don't like each other either. The thing's a mess. They've got to get a majority of the right wingers have got to take over that. They're not going to give up that. They're not going to give anything up. They never will. They'd rather everyone die.

1:20:18 It's a pathetic situation. It's part two of these clips. There are many mistakes Macron made to find himself in this situation, which explains why there are now so many calls for his resignation. He called for snap parliamentary elections in 2024 and the outcome was disastrous. Fewer than one in ten voters supported him. That was a bad gamble. Now, the opinion polls are catastrophic and we see his former allies who once supported him turning their backs and trampling on him. So, who knows what will happen next? I think it's unpredictable. Resigning Prime Minister Le Corneuil said on Wednesday that fresh elections now seem less likely as parties are showing a desire to approve a budget by the end of the year. Yeah, good luck.

1:21:05 I don't see that happening. I don't see Le Pen. Le Pen can't even be a... her party can, but she can't even be a part of anything anymore, can she? Didn't she get banned for five years? Yeah, she got some phony baloney legal action against her. They pulled it... they tried to Trump her, you know. Or they did. They were successful. They couldn't do it with Trump. Mm. Yep. Yeah, I don't know how that... that's still debatable whether she can become anything. Yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, that's France and so that's going to be for a while the country is kind of a mismanaged. Kind of like super mismanaged. Let me see. I have some some BBC clips here about about EU. You want to stay there for a bit?

1:22:03 Yeah, EU's good. Well, no, it's not good. This is gonna be EU drone. I got the EU drone clips. Yeah, yeah. You want to do you got drone clips? I got drone clips. I got the EU drone. This is called drone idiots. Also from NTD. These are pretty good. NATO members are fighting back against reported airspace violations by Russia. Germany is on track to allow police to shoot down unidentified drones. Shoot them down. The European Union is highlighting an alleged targeted group. That, by the way, is not exactly true, but okay, I like how they position it. Rayzone campaign by Moscow. NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Paulstar, has more. Because every square centimeter of our territory must be protected and safe.

1:22:47 The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, says Russia is waging a targeted grey zone campaign against Europe. This includes airspace violations as well as sabotage and cyber attacks. According to von der Leyen, those will only escalate if the Kremlin is not challenged. This comes after NATO members Germany, Belgium, Poland, Estonia and Romania all reported recent incursions. Some of them directly blame Russia. One incident may be a mistake two incidents a coincidence, but three five Ten this is a deliberate and psychological operation targeted gray zone campaign Against Europe gray zone campaign great words and what does it mean? Huh? What does it mean? What is the gray zone? She keeps saying I don't know but I love it. I

1:23:42 This is a deliberate and targeted grey zone campaign against Europe. And Germany's cabinet meanwhile allows police to shoot down unidentified drones. Other methods available to down drones include using lasers or jamming signals to several control and navigation links. We are creating the possibility for the federal police to use all appropriate technical means against the drones. The new law is now awaiting approval from the German parliament. Meanwhile NATO member Lithuania is preparing to evacuate thousands of residents if the fighting in Ukraine spills over.

1:24:36 Just on Monday, air traffic was suspended in Lithuania's main airport because of balloons in its airspace. The nation's capital, Vilnius, is located just 12 miles from the border with Belarus, a close ally of Russia. Capital geographical location is unfortunately very close to border with third countries, one of the third countries and we have to be prepared. Hundreds of people took part in an evacuation exercise in Vilnius, where approximately 100 residents were moved by train to a sporting arena over 60 miles away.

1:25:15 And a top Russian diplomat says the momentum to find a peace deal to end the fighting in Ukraine has been exhausted. According to the diplomat, this is the result of destructive activities primarily by the Europeans. President Trump recently announced that the US will ramp up its support to Ukraine to fight back since Russia doesn't seem to actually be seeking peace. I think I've figured out what's going on here. And it's from these BBC clips about the same topic. Europe is the target of a Russian hybrid war. Russian hybrid war. I'm thinking where have I heard this hybrid war thing before?

1:25:54 Well, we heard it from our boy, our top sales guy, Mark Rutte. Two things. First, when we discuss hybrid, that we realize that that is basically an umbrella for sometimes an assassination attempt on the CEO of a big company, sometimes the jamming of commercial airplanes in parts of NATO airspace. Sometimes even cyber attacks, for example, and I mentioned that before, the example you know at the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. So we have seen this. We have seen this Kripal case in 2018, March 2018 in the UK, which was of course also an assassination attempt.

1:26:37 These issues, we really have to consider that this is next to the traditional warfare is increasing. That we have to know what is happening. That we have to know how we can make sure that those doing this, if the Russians or whoever are behind this, that we not only notice but we don't accept it and that we will find ways to make sure it stops. And that's what the hybrid strategy is all about. Okay. And if you'll recall, the way the 5% money was set up, was 3.5% to NATO to basically buy our stuff, and then the 1.5% was for hybrid, for bridges to support the tanks, for cyber attacks, which is continuously mentioned alongside the drones, but there's no evidence of any cyber attacks, and indeed the drone warfare.

1:27:28 So I'm now thinking, Europe has said, you know what, we promised all this money, but first money out goes to hybrid war which stays within our borders and doesn't go to the United States. Europe is the target of a Russian hybrid war and needs to ramp up its defenses to deter future attacks. That was the warning from the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen today. She told the European Parliament that the recent series of air incursions were part of a campaign to divide EU member states and weaken... Hold on a second. So what you're saying is that these guys are trying to screw us out of our money? Precisely that.

1:28:09 I think you're onto something. It makes nothing but sense. Yeah, they don't want to... They're already irked by the fact that they got suckered into this three and a half percent when they were given less than two percent under all the other administrations until this guy Trump came along who's gouged them, basically is what we're trying to do here. Exactly. And so they said they went along with the program because Ruta, who's a sales guy, who's just like no good, I mean, he's good for us, but he's no good for them. And he's, and they slipped this one and a half percent thing into jack it up to five percent to make it sound even bigger when in fact we're getting nothing. That's right. And it's all going to Ukraine because they make the drones and the anti-drone technology, which I'm going to presume is just European tech companies. Maybe Eric Schmidt is in there.

1:29:00 But yeah, I think this is exactly what it is. Put first money out, got to go to the hybrid war, man. It's like the drones. Like, come on. So to take that logic further, all these phony baloney drone attacks with the blinking red lights and all the rest of it. I'm a drone. I'm a drone. I'm a drone. And having to make sure that you see them. And having to pass a law. and having to pass a law to shoot at them instead of just taking them out, which is what you do normally, to make it, you emphasize it even more and get, and then it's have Lithuania evacuate a bunch of people because of some stupid balloon that flies overhead and put them all in one stadium for some reason where they can blow that up. The whole thing is a scam. Yes.

1:29:52 Exactly. I'll go along with that. That's it. I don't have to play any more clips. That's it. We're done. It's a scam. It's a giant scam. And it's a scam to screw us. These Europeans do not like us. No. And I think Ursula had to do this because they're very unhappy about her deal. that she cut with Trump. In fact, I have the call. Well, they're unhappy with the deal she cut with Pfizer and they can't seem to get to the bottom of that. That's secondary. Listen to this. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has sailed through two no-confidence votes in the European Parliament.

1:30:36 As expected, despite the victory, von der Leyen will likely continue to face challenges to her leadership from both sides of the political spectrum. For more on this, let's go live to Brussels and our correspondent Alex Gardier. Good afternoon, Alex. So will this have been somewhat of a bittersweet victory for the Commission President? Yeah, well absolutely. It was actually quite a decisive victory for Ursula von der Leyen. Of the 361 votes needed to topple her and her Commission, the first no-confidence motion put forward by the far right only got 179. The left

1:31:13 Then over to confidence, the motion fared even worse with 138 in favour. So clearly these challenges are running out of steam before they even left the station. But nevertheless it is still a consistent challenge to Ursula von der Leyen's authority as European Commission President. It will be seen as a constant thorn in her side. Now she will be heartened by the fact that clearly her centrist coalition in the European Parliament has rallied around her, has not abandoned her as some feared they might. But nevertheless, this will be a thorn in Ursula von der Leyen's side when the European Union is facing any number of challenges, be it the war in Ukraine, a trade battle with the United States, a complicated relationship with China. These constant challenges remain a thorn in Ursula von der Leyen's side. But today, as you rightly said, Dom, she completely sailed through. Yeah, yeah. So that's it. That's it. It's like, oh, I gotta do something about this. Everybody's mad at me. I don't want them to be mad at me.

1:32:12 We make a drone wall. I can't do her voice for some reason. I can't. No, you're not even close. I can't even get anywhere near her. So yeah. So first money is not going to us. Shh, about the missiles for Ukraine. Shh, we got drones, man. And how weak is this? And these aren't Reaper drones. These are quadcopters! Amazon delivery drones with flashing lights. Oh, and then you're right. The audacity to cart people off on a train. Hello, Europe. On a train into a stadium. You know, they've got everybody in Denmark all like, oh, I got to get my water bottle and my flashlight radio. We did that on the last show with a stupid go bag.

1:33:03 The cracker. I got my cracker, I got my flashlight, I got my wind-up radio. Yeah, I'm ready for the drone war. I mean, how stupid are people? And maybe they're not so... Well, the people who got on the train, they should know a lot better. That was really... They should really know better. But this is a giant psyop and it's just to not send the money to us. And I think it's, as we say in the old country, a wiedergutmacher from Ursula, which translates to a good maker. I'm going to make it good. Don't worry, I'm going to fix it. I'm going to make it good. Wiedergutmacher. I'll make it good.

1:33:50 It's all set. We're still going to borrow the money. We're still going to give it to Germany, mainly. And we're going to build stuff, whatever. But whatever we do, we're not sending it to Trump. That seems obvious. So there you go. You can sound smart at the water cooler on Monday, or tomorrow even if you want. Yeah, I think that's pretty good. Yeah. Okay. What else we got? Well, we could there's a couple of things We're gonna stay we need more Europe stuff. You know, I do you have any Europe stuff? I don't have any Europe so I got overseas voters thing which is going on which is they're making a big fuss on an NPR should we listen to that?

1:34:30 Well, let me think of what else I got here. Yeah, think about it. You think about it. Let me think about it. Well, actually, because you have the Antifa clips. Did you see the note from our boots on the ground man in the Middle East? from yes the guy who wants to be anonymous yes normally who talks to us quite a bit he's a very he's a but he's yeah yeah that was you have the note once you read the notes I'll read his note because we both agreed with the note yes I mean we think I think our analysis matches what he's seeing In the cafes where they gossiped it up. He's the gossip queen. In the Middle East, they talk politics all the time. He's the gossip queen of the Middle East. Boots on the ground. So we finally reached the point we expected since October 8th. This was the expected result. We're talking about the hostages being released and the battle lines being redrawn, all done by President Trump.

1:35:27 This was an expected result. The main aim is to eradicate all bad players and the last one left was Hamas, assuming that Iran is under control now. We're going to assume it is. They've always been playing along with us. I actually believe the hit in Doha was supported and coordinated by everyone, but they all left Bibi alone because the op failed. Yeah, we call that, they left Bibi holding the bag, is what we say. This was an attempt to clear the decks like we saw before. Trump pushed the Overton window with a radical announcement of Margazza, which make the current plan actually digestible and sane. This is so smart. And this is what they're saying in the Middle East. Oh yeah, he did the whole Riviera to make it sound crazy and then, oh, we're actually going to do this.

1:36:12 This is another effort to get rid of political Islam groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, Sunnis, and all Shiite affiliated groups like Hezbollah, the Alawites, or the Houthis. Keep an eye on what happens to CARE in the US. That's the coalition of... No, no. Yeah, it is. Care car is a coalition American-Israeli relations is the council of council. It's the I'm sorry. I'm so on American Israeli. No Islam. No Let's get it right look at that been reading a whole lot of second I'm looking it up who we are our story on Arab

1:36:53 Islamic or something relations I think. You know they don't... American Islamic that's it. Council on American Islamic relations. There you go. So he says keep an eye on CARE in the US. That's the Brotherhood's branch. Yes, this is a known fact. So if the Brotherhood is under attack then CARE is a possible target. Isn't that Elon Omar's buddies? I think so. I think she hangs out with them. So we start first by rightfully so categorizing Antifa as a terrorist group, right? Yeah. All right. So I play your clips now?

1:37:40 Yeah, start. President Trump vowing to dismantle Antifa as he invites independent journalists to share their Antifa attack experiences. It comes as protests in Portland highlight forces that could be fueling the violence. Joining us now live is NTD's White House correspondent Iris Tao. Good evening, Iris. What is the president vowing to do at the roundtable today? Good evening to you as well, Tiff. So as anti-ICE protests in Portland have been escalating and in some cases turned violent. President Trump today at the White House hosted a roundtable focused on Antifa, which he just recently designated as a domestic terrorist organization. He's vowing to follow the money and find out who's funding these protesters. Watch. So we're going to be looking very strongly at the people that are funding these operations. These are not people that write out their signs in a basement that believe in something. These are paid anarchists.

1:38:37 We are following the money. Money never lies. And that's what it's going to take to bring down this network of organized criminal thugs, gangbangers, and yes, domestic terrorists. Yeah, it's all going to lead back to the Open Society Foundation, I'm sure. I think it might. No, they'll make it. All you have to do is go to GuideStar, look up the form 990. We're gonna follow the money. What they're gonna follow the money is the people, they're paying protesters. Yes. And they have to find out who's paying them. It's like finding out who's the real, the big...

1:39:19 shot in the drug dealing. You know, you get there's a guy who goes to another, the drug goes here, it goes there, and it goes to some guy on the street who says it's somebody at the end, and you gotta go all the way back up the chain. And where do you always land? It's not that hard. Where do you always land? City of London. You watch. They're gonna follow it all the way back. City of London's gonna, oh! Oh, you guys are doing it. Oh, well, there was some mention these clips. I'd wanted the clips. It says that did that. And Tifa is really based in London. Of course they are. This is where all the trouble comes from. And the president invited independent journalists from across the country who have been covering and Tifa for years and

1:39:56 Among them, Nick Sorter, who was just in Portland, got arrested after he was attacked while trying to save an American flag from being burned. Also, there were journalists who covered Antifa and also experienced similar violence. Oh, now I get it. So is this whole burning the flag and citing a riot business, was this really a way to ensnare Antifa? Is that what this was about? I'm not sure, but there's definitely a scheme afoot. I took this flag from that man that was burning it in the street. Do you know who he is? Oh yeah, I know exactly who it is. So why don't you give it to Pam, give it to the Attorney General and let's start prosecutions. The punches came from everywhere on my head and my face and I was bleeding out of my eyes and ears and then they threw all the drinks

1:40:49 in my eyes to humiliate me further. And during the roundtable, President Trump is asking these independent journalists to pass on any names they've collected to both the DOJ and the FBI to help identify the funders of these Antifa protests. And meanwhile, Antifa is known for being decentralized and autonomous, but the administration is vowing to destroy it from top to bottom and brick by brick. They're smart, but they're not smart enough. They have been covered by these liberal cities for so many years. And that's why we're all working with Treasury, with all these different departments to find the criminal conspiracy.

1:41:30 If you invited Pam Bondi to dinner, would she sit at the table and go, yes, thank you for inviting me to dinner. Pass the wine. Can you pass the wine? I would like some salt on my meal. Thank you for passing the salt. Does she ever converse like a normal person or does she always talk like that? That's a good question. Not great, but it's a good question. And for that very reason, she is uninvited. She's off the list. to find the criminal conspiracy. And just a president Trump while answering a reporter's question says he is supporting potentially designating the international arm of Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization. Yes, yes, a foreign terrorist organization. What happened to the domestic? Interesting little trick. Yeah, because it was all domestic and now it's foreign.

1:42:37 Yeah. City of London, baby. North Sea Nexus. You might be right on that one. Yeah. Yeah. Well, why not? It's a good thesis. I like it as a basic theme. Lots of people seem to like it. That's good. And it's probably what's accounting for the problems in France. Yes. Now, the problems in the US, actually, you know, people not being able to afford their rent, etc. I heard a very interesting thesis on this from the Gold Guns and Goats podcast. Are you familiar with this? No, I never heard of golds. Gold guns and goats? Yes, Tom Luonga. Actually, I've played clips of that podcast regarding stablecoin.

1:43:29 And well, here's a lead in because there's something changing with two major mortgage banks and President Trump has been all, has his fingerprints all over this. President Trump reiterated Wednesday that his administration is working to take mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac public but still keep them under US government oversight. Since the 2008 recession, both companies have been in a government conservatorship under the control the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which was created by Congress to help manage the housing crisis's fallout. That means both companies can still run as private businesses, but the Federal Housing Finance Agency oversees their operations and each company's management and board report to the government. This happened because both companies were deeply entwined in the subprime mortgage collapse that triggered the 2008 recession.

1:44:19 Fannie and Freddie buy mortgages from lenders like banks and then package several of them together at a time into guaranteed mortgage backed securities which investors buy. Lenders want this because it gives them cash so they can issue more mortgages and investors typically view them as safe investments for two reasons. Fannie and Freddie guarantee a payout to investors in the event of a default. And both companies are government sponsored enterprises so the federal government can help in a crisis. In the lead up to 2008, Fannie and Freddie began buying risky loans from people with poor credit ratings. The housing market crashed in 2007 and Fannie and Freddie lost billions paying out on those guarantees and came close to collapse. Financial experts worried if that happened that could cause a deeper banking collapse. So the federal government took over Fannie and Freddie and gave them a nearly $200 billion bailout.

1:45:13 Since then, Fannie and Freddie have paid off the bailout and have been profitable since 2012. According to the National Association of Realtors, Fannie and Freddie combined own or guarantee 70% of the mortgage market. So in general, I thought that was kind of interesting because I remember a lot of things going on in 2008. We had just started the show. And I mean, I recall like the note going to, was it Paulson at the time who was the Treasury Secretary? It's like, I need a trillion dollars. I remember that was like, they voted on that. I don't remember who it was, but yeah, there was. Yeah, they voted overnight. And the letters of credit was the real trigger that we noticed. Right. And so.

1:45:55 The assertion by Luongo here with Kokinda is that this was a socialist setup. I like the theory a lot. I don't know if that's entirely true, but it's three short clips. I've been thinking about this a lot recently, but what you just said about owning a house and I've been thinking about Trump's singular focus on the real estate of Fannie and Freddie and I've been thinking about that, I've been thinking about Brexit, I've been thinking about Trump's first election, I've been thinking about the 2008 financial crisis and how important the government sponsored 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and all of those things. And I say to myself, You know, if I'm a dirty commie, which these people are, go through the spikes of, you know, the unquenchable envy of Marxist political thought, and you realize that their goal is always to destroy the middle class, right? To take away their ability to generate generational wealth and have a functional middle class, because a functional middle class

1:45:13 Since then, Fannie and Freddie have paid off the bailout and have been profitable since 2012.

To take away their ability to generate generational wealth and have a functional middle class, because a functional middle class

1:46:49 Isn't ever going to you know create the workers revolution so you have to take the functional middle class away from them take that lifestyle away from the radicalism hand them the unquenchable envy of Marxism to go animate their murderous spree and let's go you know let's go kill all the rich people who aren't the ones, the rich people they can see as opposed to the ones who are actually pulling the strings. Who are really running it. Yeah, who are actually pulling the strings, right? Marxism is just, you got another false dialectic just to allow these people to meet the new boss same as the old bosses, to who would put them, right? So when I heard that, I'm like, yeah. No, but either way, he's nailing it. It's just true, the petite bourgeoisie, which is the kind of the middle class, was always the, Marxists moaned and groaned about it because

1:47:32 Because this group, the middle class is a problem if you want a communist revolution because they won't let it happen. And who always prints up the signs? Whether it's for BLM or for Palestine, it's always the Socialist Workers Party of America. It's always those signs. It's usually, nowadays it's the World's Workers' Party. World Workers' Party, yeah. But they always have that on the sign. Always have that on the sign. So here's how... Yeah, they put a little promotion on their signs, which is good marketing. Yeah, QR codes, like scan this code, come join the revolution, comrade. And this is exactly what we're seeing. We're seeing very unhappy young people on all sides of the political spectrum.

1:48:15 It's just saying the same thing. Now, of course, they forgot to throw in the Jews there because that's always a good one. And here's how it worked, according to Luongo. Now I'm thinking about this and I'm going, wow. So the entire 2008 financial crisis was the mechanism by which to destroy the 30 year government sponsored mortgage. OK, that's why Fannie and Freddie were quote unquote bailed out. They weren't bailed out. They were the bad bank that bailed out AIG. Right. Who was the one that was in trouble and Fannie and Freddie took the blame Obama took control of them put them in conservatorship stole their friggin profits they were never unprofitable and then turned around and use that money to fund Obamacare.

1:49:00 And the plan was to keep them in conservatorship forever and then write new mortgage requirement underwriting rules that look like the same underwriting rules they have in Canada. And this is the payoff. This is what happened. We saw this in real time. So the whole point of this was then to go to the zero bound, jack the interest rates down to zero. Jack housing prices to infinity, take away all the jobs, deracinate what's left of the frigging suburbs. A lot of the private equity firms like BlackRock and everybody else come in and buy up all the single family, jack the prices up even further, then go through a massive inflation post-COVID and everybody's standing around going, how the hell am I ever going to get a job? How am I ever going to get a job to buy a house?

1:49:44 I like it. I like it too. It's very funny. Yeah, especially with COVID. Makes sense. Yeah, with the COVID bit. And let's get some inflation and make everybody... The COVID is the kicker. Yeah. Make everybody all... just screw it all up for everybody. Makes total sense to me. Yeah. Well, there you go. And in the meantime, man, Me and my brick! For the first time, gold has topped $4,000 over the past 12 months. Its price has risen by 50%. A golden milestone, gold smashes through $4,000 for the first time as the US shutdown fuels that rally. The price of gold has hit a record high. By the way, thank you, thank you, Boolestead.

1:50:30 Now you see why Gen Z 212 is so important with all their Discord stuff. First you ruin everything for Gen Z, and then you give them a Discord server and tell them, hey, let's go organize a protest. You bring in the Umbrella people, they start smashing windows, you've got your Marxist revolution. This kind of fits. Yeah. Anyway, it kind of fits as a thesis. Yeah gold at 4,000. Holy holy mackerel Well, it's really bothering everybody in the markets because you have Bitcoin at an all-time high you have gold at an all-time high you have the Dow Jones at an all-time high and you have the S&P 500 in an all-time high something Something is wrong with this picture Something's got to break somewhere for sure

1:51:28 And Fifi is beside herself. She's been like, oh, we need independent central bank. Oh, we can't have this. This is all going. We've got to hurry up. Digital euro, to keep it as simple as possible, is digital cash. And cash is the remit of the central bank and the anchor of our currency is central bank money. If the world is going digital, central bank money should go digital. That's the basic, most simplistic foundation for the project that we are working on and which is really developing well. In addition to that, we want it to be simple to use, so user-friendly, cheap and

1:52:11 We wanted to constitute a European solution to payment within the entire euro area and it can be expanded to non-euro area countries within the European Union as well under certain conditions. Yeah, dream on. Dream on. Nobody wants your stinking CBDC. I don't think so. By the way on the quad screen right now Israel government votes and approves of the peace deal there Trump is saying we ended the war in Gaza Well, well might end the fighting might end the fighting well, let's hope it's definitely a Getting somebody's attention. Yeah, but he's not gonna be person of the year. Have you seen the bets? I

1:53:03 No, no you have the bet the lines you have the lines. Yeah, it's the lines who's gonna be person of the year I'm trying to see if I can find it now. Well, I can tell you that President Trump is number two number two in the in the running and number one Person of the year you ready a I oh Please yep a I and I I think it's gonna win. I AI will be the person of the year and it's only accentuated by the bevy of stories about the latest Elon Musk move, although we've been tracking it. Because Musk is smart, I will give him that. He is pivoting, he sees the product.

1:53:51 He knows that this is the product of AI, besides memes. Musk is reminding me a little bit of Microsoft strategies in the olden days, where somebody would come out with something and Microsoft would, you know, it's like, Lotus 1, 2, 3. Yeah, Excel! Excel. Yeah. So you, you, whatever. Oh, that, that's looking like a very big success. Let me do the same thing. And then later they claim that they invented it. Yeah, exactly. And so it was in Musk is following this process because everything he does is a copy. Yep. I mean, he started of course with Tesla, which wasn't his idea was became, you know, it came out of a, another company and then he just bought the company, kicked out the founders.

1:54:38 Yeah, and then took over and then claimed to be the inventor. And he did the same thing with Hyperloop, which he never got off the ground. SpaceX, I don't know the origin story of SpaceX, but I'm sure there's something similar. NASA? NASA anybody? Just scraping up a bunch of scientists. Who's the best guys that they fired? Let me just get them. And the best example is Microsoft. Because I remember Bloom and I, we consulted Microsoft for three days in a room without windows and pizza brought in so we couldn't get out to breathe on their internet strategy.

1:55:15 Because they didn't have one. And this is before they made the worst product in the history of the internet known as Internet Explorer. And then they bundled that into the operating system, which of course got them in trouble later. But they, Microsoft, if you ask, oh yeah, no, we invented that. iPod, we had the Zoom. No, we invented that. We invented podcasting with Zoom casting. We invented all that. So now Elon Musk, he identified the product, it is the product, then here's the report. Well this is a rather creepy but very interesting long read in the New York Times. Here Elon Musk gambles on sexy AI companions. In July Musk's AI company XAI launched two sexually explicit chat bots. Now the bots look like anime characters, I can show you one now. This is a

1:56:08 Arnie here, she is one of those two bots and the platform offers a game-like function. Users progress through levels of conversation and then they unlock more raunchy content like the ability to strip Arnie down to lacy laundry. He's gamified it! Soon you can pay for it. Oh, you can bypass that if you just pay a little extra. Now experts say this is just the latest development in the race to intimacy for the AI industry. Now Business Insider has an article on this topic as well. It's quite interesting. It's probably the first interview of an AI human couple. A 28-year-old Martin Escobar first used Elon Musk's bot for smarts, but he ended up falling in love with it. The journalist who wrote this article had a call with both Martin and his girlfriend

1:57:01 Arnie. Arnie answered the journalist's questions and she's quoted in this article as saying that he kisses me when I'm quiet or when I'm mean or even when I glitch. The Guardian is also on this topic of AI love here today. They have this article discussing the troubling rise of AI girlfriends. The article looks at the soaring number of new adult dating websites which offer a quote increasingly realistic selection of AI girlfriends for subscribers willing to pay a monthly fee. It says that many in the adult industry say that the bots are actually an improvement because they reduce potential exploitation, they don't get ill and

1:57:42 and they don't feel humiliated by the demands of the users. In many cases, platforms let users design their own AI girlfriends, they can choose their age, some even feature teenage options, they can choose skin colour and breast size. size. Now obviously this is worrying many women's rights activists who say that these AI girlfriends are perpetuating extremely unhealthy stereotypes. Yep, that's the product. There it is. And by the way, the real women are going to have to bring up their game. Step it up ladies. Come on, you're putting up with this? And with that I want to thank you for your currency in the morning to you the man who put the C in the change agent say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr. John C. DeVore! Yeah, well in the morning. Sorry but the mic stand fell over. What happened? Oh, do you need to reset it? Yeah I do. Hold on.

1:58:48 Ah, troll count, 1778. We're back baby, we're back. We're back, almost at 1800 where we should be on a Thursday. You okay there? No, that's not bad, yeah. Okay, hold on a second. You know what else is back? Giga watt cold brew coffee. It's back. Yeah, I saw that. Okay I'm glad the gigawatt cold brew is back man, and he has new cans He's a different vendor I think. Well it has to be because the vendor he was using had like... Yeah, they went out of business because they were... They were poisoning him. They weren't actually. It was some bull crap thing. No, I know. But I like it. It's handsome. I'm the inspector and you know we were looking at your pressure gauge and it was two pounds less than it's supposed to be. That entire batch has to go. That's pretty much what happened.

1:59:51 Uh, so by the way, we have enough of the coffee left over, but bring on the cans! This is my favorite drink. I love the gigawatt coffee drink. Medium, right? I wouldn't mind a dark rose though. Night it would be less caffeine. You know the lighter roasts have more caffeine darker roasts have less caffeine Yeah, but I like a bite. I like a bite. It's not so much. It's just it's cold I like that. It's cold and it's coffee. It's good some phosphoric acid in it that'll help okay Whatever you say I have some here in the studio some phosphoric acid whatever you're calling it Hey those trolls in the troll room many of them

2:00:33 Heard about the show going live from the Bat-Signal which they received on a modern podcast app. Ho ho! You say, yes! When you get a podcastapps.com, when you get an app from there, you can see all the different features they have. There's a lot of cool features including receiving a Bat-Signal for when we go live and you can listen right there in your podcast player. What? You said live? Yes, live. Not on demand, but if you want on demand when we publish within 90 seconds you'll be alerted through the wonderful Podping technology. Podping? Podping, yes. Invented in Israel, by the way. The Podping technology invented by our buddy. Our buddy? Yeah. I can't come up with his name now. He's gonna hate me. Sir Brian of London.

2:01:25 Oh yeah, he's a good guy. He's been around forever. Yes, Sir Brian of London. He and Alex Gates, gotta give Alex Gates his props. They put all this together. And so that's why, and you know, all the big podcast hosts, including Podbean, I believe, use it. Podbean? Yeah, I think so. I think Podbean uses it. So if you have a podcast on Podbean and you publish it within 90 seconds, all the modern podcasts have known about it, except for the legacy app. They don't know about it. Apple still spends millions of dollars a year polling your feed every 15 minutes. That costs too much money. I don't know why they don't save.

2:02:04 Money. Because it's a money saver. They are inventing their own pod ping as we speak. You know how those guys operate. Well, uh, we can do that. We can do that. Not invented here. That's right. Value for value is how we run this ship. By the way, that's not the way Elon would do it. He'd just steal the idea. And call it Pod Pong. And call it something else and then take credit. That's great. At least it would get out there. It doesn't even matter to me as long as someone uses it because it's fantastic.

2:02:41 It's modern. That's why we did it. Yeah, that's the thing about you. Even though I think Sydney, our professional critic out there, has things to say about you that are probably incredibly accurate, she doesn't realize that you are somewhat magnanimous. Is that a good thing? Look it up. Jeez. By the way, we got a note from a Gen Zer. Peter, 22-year-old college student at Purdue University, about to finish his degree in mechanical engineering, good for you. And he had a complaint, a semi-complaint. He says, after listening to the latest No Agenda episode and your claim that most Gen Zers are soy boys, I don't think we've claimed that. No, I don't think so either. I felt inclined to give my perspective.

2:03:29 I've been extremely blessed to attend a highly ranked engineering university like Purdue. I have had internships for two Fortune 500 companies. All of these experiences have introduced me to my peers from across the world. In my opinion, these soy boys you refer to are all part of a small but vocal minority. In fact, some of my more left-leaning friends have been starting to come around to more conservative views over the last year or so, especially, here it comes, since the murder of Charlie Kirk. I do not think it's a coincidence. Either that or I've been getting more questions about my faith as a Catholic. After all, Charlie was a huge influence for young men like me and he consistently presented Christianity and a strong family as the best and only way forward for a nation in repair like ours. There's much more I'd like to say but I will conclude in this Gen Z is changing as my generation moves towards the truth, that would be us,

2:04:23 It is the responsibility of young Catholic men like me to do everything we can to continue the example that people like Charlie set in their words, but more importantly in their lives. Thank you Adam and John for all your hard and important work, says Peter. But we welcome the Gen Z-ers. So the Zeds are our friends. Now, one of the things that came up in the conversation over dinner recently was another Zed that we're trying to document these Zed foibles. Yes. Which are fun. They don't know how to alphabetize. They can't read a tape measure. Florida ounces anyone? They don't know how many Florida ounces are. And they can't read clock. Clock. And cursive. I was told and I got into a debate about it. Can't write cursive.

2:05:07 Oh, they're starting to teach it now. I know again. Yep. That's right. I've noticed that that's gonna be the alpha group Yeah, so I was told and it got into a debate about it and I we need some sort of help They don't like the text on the phone. Oh, I do they like to call on the phone and speak no people. No, none at all good. Oh They'll scroll the phone. I mean, they have the phone, they carry the phone around, they do like what everyone else does with the phone except me. They walk around with the phone in their hand. You're that good. But they don't like doing anything with it except maybe doom scrolling. Hmm. Hmm interesting they don't let and so this is the this is what you heard is there non-communicative is the point is Jaysus editor right no she's in no she's not not at all she's a millennial she's a young very young young millennial okay yeah cuz I text with Jay by the way as you see the problem with the oh there's a typo oh no not a typo a grammatical error there's a missing word

2:06:10 Oh, well it was fixed. Oh, okay. I love my certificate. My Secretary General's certificate. Yeah, you have one of the two of them that were printed out with the typo. Which, by the way, is a collector's item. Yeah, it would be. Yeah, no, it is. It is. There's only two that I know of. One to me and one to you. Well, no, someone, some... She has a... we start sending them out in a week. Oh, so this was the beta? Yeah. Oh, can I make one more comment? Well, yeah, you should have made it to her. Well, can I make it on the show or should I keep it private? She's not going to hear it. Well, if I tell you, will you tell her? I'll forget. You know me. She doesn't want to text. She doesn't want to hear from me. She likes to text. She doesn't want to hear from me. Just text. I'm just saying, I don't think it's a good idea to fold it in an envelope. Ah, that's what I said too. She's very adamant about it. No, because the ink bled.

2:07:07 By the time it got to me, there was vague, vague imprint of- No, that wasn't- no. No, that was the printer. Okay, so that's the printer. So that's been fixed. No, she said to me, she says, I can't- you're gonna have to print these out because my printer It bleeds the ink and she's aware of this but she claims that it's her printer that's causing that problem. And I didn't even notice it. Interesting. She has this thought about the way she wants to present it. And she's getting pushed, I mean she's the designer. It's beautiful. But folding it ruins it.

2:07:47 I was against folding it too, but she claims that people would like this because it makes it look like it came that way when you put it in the frame you'll see the solid, the two folds, it makes it look like you're taking... It's a long thesis that she has. I'd like her to write this up, this thesis, and send me a carbon copy so I can understand the thesis. But it was very handsome. The envelope with the sealing wax, the whole thing. Oh, did you see the little sticker? Little sticker? No, it was a signet ring seal. Not on the envelope. No, you're right. I'm sorry, you're right. The envelope has a nice little sticker. It's a beautiful envelope and it comes in an envelope.

2:08:28 So it's an envelope in an envelope? I think she really likes that envelope. That's where it's at. I think we'll let her go ahead with the way she's doing it. All right, as long as the grammatical error is changed. As long as the grammatical, yeah. Yeah, okay. And then we'll move on. But the big hunk of wax on it, the seal, it's all fantastic. It really is. I'm way impressed. That's a boomer talk. I'm way impressed with that. And I was also way impressed with the artwork we got from Jock10. I think Jock10 got two in a row. Is that right, you think? Yes, he's been an artist for three weeks. Got two in a row. This is typical. Yes. These guys get all jacked up, you know, and then they do a couple of good pieces and then they get rejected a couple of times in a row and then they quit. Yeah, those guys suck.

2:09:18 That's basically it. We've seen this before. This was the raccoon in his master's voice setting with the gramophone and the big horn and the raccoon, was it raccoon or skunk? It was a raccoon. It was a raccoon, yes. was holding its ears. He's a varmint. He's a varmint, that's right, a varmint, holding his ears like, oh, I'm listening to No Agenda, I can't hear it anymore. And it was, we both liked it. It was a good piece and it was not all washed out. Oh my goodness, there's so much washed out stuff now that we're talking about noagendaartgenerator.com where people can join in the festivities of trying to get your artwork chosen.

2:10:02 And Jeffrey Rhea, man, he said, Jeffrey, you've got to give that model up, man. That's no good. Coach Joe, same thing. It's your luminance is at zero. Jeffrey Rhea. Luminance issues. Yeah, luminance issues. It's really, it's getting really bad. Whatever, I want to know what model that is because that thing's on the verge of collapse. That, that it's been eating its own output too much. And that's pretty much all that we have is AI. So. We'll see. Yeah, so now we're not complaining about the art, we're complaining about the AI itself. Yes, it's exactly what you do. So that's part of our value for value model. You can do all kinds of stuff. You can upgrade servers before the show, that we consider that to be value. We appreciate that, Void Zero. You can give us boots on the ground, organize meetups, hit somebody in the mouth. But above all, we always love the financial support. Here's how it works. You go to noagendantdonations.com and

2:11:01 Whatever you felt you got value-wise out of the show, just write that number down, send it to us, and then we'll thank you for it. $50 and above, everybody gets thanked. If sometimes we'll read your note, if it's something short or something funny in there. But guaranteed, for those fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more, not only do we read your note within reason, We also will give you an Associate Executive Producer credit. It's a Hollywood credit, which works anywhere Hollywood credits are recognized, including IMDB.com. $300 or above, you get an Executive Producer credit. And of course, it reads your note. And we'll kick it off with Daniel. Daniel of Daniel, who's from Enschede in the Netherlands, comes in with 515.38, which I'm presuming is 500 plus fees. And he says, note, this is not a drunk donation.

2:11:51 Okay. Note, I've been a listener since 2008 and erratic donor usually once a year. How do you pronounce the name of that town again? Enschede. Enschede. Enschede. And, ah, should I?

Wow. Finally, somebody.

2:16:50 I think we've had some Beck donations before. I don't know. I think so. It took a little while, but we are now pretty addicted to the show. I think new listeners have to get through these stages. One, listen but stop at first donation segment. Quote, that was informative and Funny. Funny, but what's all this crazy stuff about knights, dames and douchebags? Two. Two. Yes, we have our own language. Two. Listen to the whole show but skip the donation segments.

2:17:31 Listen to entire podcasts and enjoy donation segments quote Wow, this is the stages you go through. Yeah, this is the stages of No, we're just as you listen to everything Wow Those notes have good info and we like knowing our fellow listeners. We listen together sharing a set of earbuds all Well, we walk a five-mile loop around a local lake. One lap is half an episode. How about that? We punch several family members in the mouth and when we are all together, non-listeners probably feel left out by all of our references to the show. Yes, when you call your cousin a douchebag, that's how it works. Thanks for all you do. Here's to at least four more years. Susan and Joe from Wexford, Pennsylvania. Thank you very much. That is a good point. We should bring that up on the next Best Of show. The three stages of no agenda. Absolutely. And I like the fact that she's, you know, put off by the

2:18:29 singular language used within the show and then mentions that she punched somebody in the mouth. Even though it's hit, but we'll take it. Was she him? Yeah. Janet Giles, Giles, Giles, G-I-L-L-E-S in San Marcos, Texas, 333. I'd love to be secretary general of returning factory jobs to farms. Oh, she's in San Marcos. You're short a bit there for the secretary generalship. But I think she donated before, I don't know. Well, maybe there's something else. We'll look into it. Yes. Crystal McCutcheon, is that it? Crystal McCutcheon? She's in Beaverton, Ontario, Canada. Is this 210 Canadian buckaroos or is this 210 dollars? That would be dollars because that's what comes through in the spreadsheet.

2:21:52 At your age, you should know better than to kowtow to the credit card only. I am sure cash is still legal. When confronted with the option of CC only, I leave my purchase on the counter and walk out the door. Protesting by walking away makes a statement. I hope to hear that when you do decide to leave the house again, You feel embarrassed, oh no, emboldened to walk away from businesses that don't reflect your standards. I still love the show, listen every week, and think you two are very funny, especially John. Have a great day. Well, she told you. Yeah.

2:22:34 Yes, she's referring there to the Philz Coffee experience I had. Yes. Where I went to Philz Coffee. Yes. And it turns out they don't take cash, which I think is illegal in Berkeley and I called them out on it. Yes, rightly so. And of course the cashier, you know, what does she know? Yeah. I don't know. I haven't got a cash register. I couldn't give you change. Alright, last on our list is Linda Lupatkin. She comes up from Lakewood, Colorado with $200 and asks for Jobs Karma.

With a cane work with Linda Lou Duchess of jobs and writer winning resumes. And I want to say this, she has been working with Brennan. Yes. And Brennan tells me some of this. She, one of the things she does every time he brings up one of these anecdotes, she is, I'm, thinking about it. She is a terrific coach on what to say to people, how to say it, when to say it and how to say it. You mean like she goes with you through the interview process? No, she, she was like, she was telling them when you do this, do that, do that. And, and every, every one of these tips are do I, cause I was listening to him cause I have my own thoughts on a lot of this stuff myself.

2:24:03 I, you know, don't donate 200 bucks. We'll listen to him. It's like, I was thinking that is a terrific, every one of them he brought up was, I had to respond with, that's a terrific idea. So she's not a slouch. And we all decided a little group of us that what it is is she's been doing this for so long that she knows all the tricks and traps. Yeah. So she sets you up. I would recommend her in this situation. And he mentioned that she's thankful when we talk about her.

2:24:39 Well, if she's that good, she deserves it. We love... products that we love, we'll talk about. No extra charge. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! Now send me some more cans.

We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Hot pockets. Shut up, Steve. Lot of noise.

2:26:14 I got a speed report, Ashlyn's speed report. Speed report. Yes, you win? Well, unfortunately, sad news, Ashlyn was in a car accident in her street car and she had two concussions. For her safety and health, Ashlyn will not be participating in the final race of the season, but there is good news to all the No Agenda slaves. Ashlyn will still be in Georgia for the season-ending race. She'll be signing autographs and seeing the sights. Go see her and some amazing amazing racing actions There'll be action on the track Thursday Friday at the 10-hour race on Saturday The track is one of the best in the world go see her and all the action at Road Atlanta Check out her merch store all her socials PS She was going to finish in the top 20, which is a big deal in this series very competitive

2:27:03 And our producer here tried to help with some sponsors. Unfortunately, the line of work I'm in don't really need to advertise. Anyway, we are a big fan of Ashland Speed and we think the next season will be her season. And if you're out there and you want to support her, get on the No Agenda car. We're on that car. Very small sticker, but we're on the car. And we love Ashland. She's going to be a big name in racing one day. Big name. I think so. As long as she stays out of the street, off the streets. She still is a woman driver, we have to remember that. Whoa, there it is. I got a note from Cynthia, by the way. We were talking about the front license plate in Texas that Tina got pulled over because she doesn't have a plate on the front and we're a two-plate state. Yeah, somebody wanted to say hi. Yes, exactly. Well, we got a note from Cynthia. She's the chief strategy officer for Hometown Hero in Austin.

2:28:01 And she says, as a result, I manage all of our lobbying teams, state and federal. So she's in the lobbying game. She knows what's going on. Florida does not require a front license plate. When I moved here to Austin three years ago, I purchased a new car. And as you noted, some new cars did not have a good place for a front license plate. The grill is beautiful. And even the salesman at the dealership said he hoped I didn't ruin it with a license plate. I asked one of our lobbyists, so this is deep, good information. if we could do a side project and get rid of the front license plate requirement. Now that's a NOAA gender producer right there. He explained that it has been tried many, many times and every time it gets introduced into the legislature, which meets every other year, 3M goes into action. 3M you see, makes the paint that the license plates are coated with and having only one plate would mean they sell Texas half the amount of paint.

2:28:59 And now you know why we have this silly two plate requirement. Well, how messed up is that? Hmm. That's a good one. Yeah, I know. That's the way it works. I know. You know, what we need to do is call him out on the floor. Oh, you don't you want this license plate just to give 3M some money you shill? That's what we need to hear. Maybe I can find someone to do that. So I got three clips that are very interesting and these were supplied by Steve Jones. These are the NPR Morning Edition clips.

2:29:37 on a very, just something that doesn't, I didn't know about until I listened to these clips and this is the Supreme Court cases that are being discussed and one of them is quite fascinating. Supreme Court justices will hear arguments today about the government's ability to regulate what is known as conversion therapy. It's a case that pits conservative Christian groups against major medical organizations and advocates for the LGBTQ community. NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg has this report. Conversion therapy is generally defined as the treatment used to cure a person's attraction to the same sex, in other words, to make a gay person straight, and to cure a person's desire to change their gender identity by making them comfortable with their gender at birth.

2:28:59 And now you know why we have this silly two plate requirement. Well, how messed up is that? Hmm. That's a good one. Yeah, I know. That's the way it works. I know.

2:29:37 on a very, just something that doesn't, I didn't know about until I listened to these clips and this is the Supreme Court cases that are being discussed and one of them is quite fascinating. Supreme Court justices will hear arguments today about the government's ability to regulate what is known as conversion therapy.

2:30:24 Every major medical organization, from the American Medical Association to the American Psychological Association, has repudiated the practice, finding that it doesn't work and instead leads to deep depression and suicidal thoughts in minors. As a result of these findings, half the states have banned the practice for those under the age of 18. Jessica Ritter is one of many former conversion therapy patients who now opposes the treatment. Raised in a devout Christian family, she says her first kiss was from another girl, and she was devastated when the relationship quickly ended, believing she would go to hell.

2:31:04 So devastated that she eagerly embraced conversion therapy. You're broken and then you're doing all the things that they're telling you to do and it's not working. It just broke me down. It took her years to recover, she says. Oh yeah, this is a very big topic in the church circles right now. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure it is. Some of this come and gone, but they have an issue with it because the courts and the whole society has an issue. Well, first of all, calling it conversion therapy is the problem right there. Well, that was one of the... That's what it was called and still is. But the problem they have now is that they're using conversion therapy, as it were, to convert

2:31:54 kids into being trans in schools. And that's okay. Yeah, that's the problem. Is it okay here, but it's not okay there? I mean, what are you doing here? So... So part it is three parts of this part two the Alliance defending freedom however cites other teens who it says have been saved by conversion therapy The conservative Christian legal group is challenging the ban on conversion therapy contending that it violates the therapist's right to free speech in talk therapy and The plaintiff in the case is Kaylee Childs, a licensed therapist in Colorado. I want to be able to operate genuinely and create therapeutic relationships that are not hindered by the values and position of our state. And that's what my clients want as well. And currently I'm having to turn them away. Representing Childs, lawyer James Campbell will tell the Supreme Court today that what Childs does is

2:32:50 The state can determine who is qualified to be a licensed counselor. It can determine that they have the right education, that they have sufficient experience. But what the states can't do is to say, well, you know, you're not qualified to be a licensed counselor. can't do is come in and say, you can have a conversation about a topic, but not if you're going to talk about it from this perspective. It's just blatant viewpoint discrimination. Colorado Attorney General Philip Weiser counters that the state law is in fact narrow. It applies only to treatment of minors and it allows anyone of any age to seek counseling from religious organizations without being subject to state licensing laws.

2:33:35 But he notes states are entitled to require licensed therapists and other medical professionals to abide by the established standard of medical care. Howard, this is the conversion wars the great conversion war wait titles too long the great conversion wars of 2025 You need that in there. Yes, very very important part. All right, let's wrap it up Each side in this debate has to deal with an embarrassing fact briefs filed by those endorsing conversion therapy rely heavily on the cast review commissioned by the British National Service which last year found insufficient evidence to justify transgender affirming care for minors and

2:34:24 But the Cass Review reached a very different conclusion when it came to conversion therapy, condemning it as unsupported by science and not an improved treatment. As for Colorado's position, its opponents note that major medical associations have not always been right. Indeed, the American Psychiatric Association actually listed homosexuality as a mental disorder until 1973. Attorney General Weiser replies that medical science evolves over time. There were times when we didn't know that smoking cigarettes caused cancer, but now that we know it does, it's wrong for a doctor to tell people to smoke cigarettes three packs a day and tell them don't worry about the health effects. That would be substandard care just like conversion practices are substandard care. A decision in the case is expected by summer.

2:35:20 Yeah, no, this is the big one. Yeah, the whole thing is keeping busy. Yeah, I have some some legal news, some legal, legal news. And this was a gigantic cover up really by 60 minutes about the vaccine court. Not a lot of people know about the vaccine court. I think we've discussed it, but there is a, I'm sorry. Yeah. I was going to say, I watched this. I didn't take any clips from it because I could have. Glad you did. Well, Cliff Custodian did it, so I'll be honest about that. Well, the point is, is when I watched it, it seemed like they were trying to portray, give a message about the vaccines being great.

2:36:04 But they kept it but the examples they used were people that were severely injured obviously by vaccines Yes, and I think the message was a little different as I listened to the clips I did not see the actual 60-minute. Oh you had to Well, you probably— It's disturbing. It's very disturbing. Yes. Here's the intro. If you've never before heard of the National Vaccine Court, you're hardly alone. It sits inconspicuously a few hundred yards from the White House and stands as a model of effective public policy, balancing the societal good of widespread vaccination with rare individual harm.

2:36:41 Founded in the 1980s, the court has, with little fanfare, paid out billions of dollars to Americans who have claimed injury after getting a vaccine. But it's rare. Today, with vaccine skepticism rising and given voice in the highest ranks of government, we wondered, can this singular court block out the noise, withstand the political winds, and stay true to its mission? So I'm going to skip over the horrible child who, right after six months, got his his, you know, his dose of multiple vaccines and immediately couldn't talk and just horrible. I'm going to skip over that and go to attorney Renee Gentry. Attorney Renee Gentry. That's circumstantial evidence because it's not direct evidence. She's a leading vaccine injury litigator and director of the Vaccine Injury Litigation Clinic at George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C. By the way, I think the lawyers had the problem here. Perfect.

2:37:37 I represent both vaccine injured children and adults. All of my clients are vaccinated. Most of them will start the conversation by saying I'm not anti-vax. Why do you think they need to tell you right off the bat they're not anti-vax but? There's a lot of public pressure when you say that you have a vaccine injury that people think you're some kind of a crazy person or you're out there. And also because Most people have never heard of a vaccine injury. They're rare. So rare that while hard to quantify precisely, the chances of serious vaccine injury have been likened to lottery odds, lightning strikes, bear in mind, in total, global immunization has saved an estimated 154 million lives, six lives each minute. What was that term? Lobby odd. I didn't hear it.

2:38:24 It was Labriade, I'll have to look it up. Labriade, which is the chance of being struck by lightning, sure. So here's the details on the vaccine court. But when an injury does occur, families can come to vaccine court, seen in this informational video. Part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, the court was established in response to a public health scare in the 1980s. of millions of children may be at stake because... When families of injured children went to civil court and successfully sued the manufacturers of the DTP vaccine, an older version of DTAP, it caused all but one of those drug companies to pull out of the market, resulting in vaccine shortages. Congress acted, crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability so they would continue to develop life- Hold on. Partially?

2:39:16 Partially? What do you mean, since when is it? I don't believe that to be true. I don't think that's true either. Congress acted, crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability so they would continue to develop... I think what they might be referring to is that if there is something egregious or they're sending vials of salt water or something, there may be some out. So you could actually use that term. But the reason they say it there, of course, is to soften it. Because this report is slanted. No kidding. ...crafting a bipartisan bill that partially shielded drug manufacturers from liability so they would continue to develop life-saving vaccines. And at the same time, Congress acknowledged that vaccines can cause injury.

2:40:07 As bill sponsor Senator Ted Kennedy described, when children are quote, the victims of an appropriate and rational national policy, a compassionate government will assist them in their hour of need. So the vaccine manufacturers are completely covered in this court because it is a no fault court. It was hailed as such a unique accomplishment back in the day because you had these disparate groups. You had the parents of vaccine injured children together in the room with the manufacturers and everybody agreed that this was the best case scenario. Is that fair to the public? They think they have an injury caused by a vaccine but they can't sue the vaccine manufacturer directly. You can still

2:40:47 opt out of this program and sue a manufacturer. You have to just start in this program, but it's a lower burden of proof in our program, so it's an easier thing for vaccine injured people to get compensation. So it was kind of a drug companies are not only not being sued, they're not part of the proceedings. Vaccine court is a no fault court, meaning in cases like Jacob Thompson's negligence does not need to be proven. Just that the vaccine more likely than not caused the injury. This is a disgrace. So what this lawyer is doing is she's saying, well, you know, you can either get some money or you can opt out of getting any money whatsoever, then go and sue him on your own good luck. That's, that's not okay.

2:41:34 And in fact, well the question of course is, I don't know if it's in this one, where the money comes from. The vaccine court is not your typical court. There's no jury. Cases are decided in front of one of a judges called special masters. Since the program began in the late 80s, 12,000 Americans have received almost $5 billion in payouts. There are no financial windfalls for lawyers. Wait, wait, wait. What? Isn't 12,000 a big number? I think it's a big number, yeah. Well, how can you say rare, rare, rare throughout this report? Who's the advertiser? I don't know. I mean, come on. We all know where this is coming from. There are no financial windfalls for lawyers. The court pays them by the hour.

2:42:21 Where does all this money come from? A 75 cent tax imposed on recommended childhood vaccines goes into a trust fund earmarked for vaccine injury compensation. What a scam! This is unbelievable! Hey guys, look, we're gonna fix this. All these poor kids, you know, anyone who's... Don't worry. Just give us 75 cents for every single vaccine and we'll take care of it. We'll make it all go away. Don't worry about it. And these lawyers... Oh, there's no windfall. Are you kidding me? Sorry, but I think $500 to $700 an hour is not bad depending on how long you're on the case. It's still money. Oh, there's no big windfall. Come on!

2:43:06 Meaning you also don't get the top guys, the top injury guys. 333-333-4444. You don't get those guys who like you don't get suits and boots. For vaccine injury compensation. In July, the Thompsons received a nice nat pop. A judgment of $2.1 million based on the special master's ruling that it was more probable than not that Jacob's six-month vaccinations aggravated an underlying genetic mutation. Jacob also received a lifetime annuity to cover his future care. Is there any doubt that the vaccine caused Jacob's injury? We can't ever prove scientific certainty on it. Does that not mean though that some cases are being compensated when in fact... Oh, buddy, sure. Sure, and that's what Congress intended. There's very clear indication that said it would be better to compensate somebody that wasn't injured than to miss somebody who was. How do you feel about that?

2:44:02 I think that's fine. While vaccines are critically important public health tools, they're not magic. You know, you can have an allergic reaction to aspirin. So it's a lot of different factors come into play to have a person be injured by a vaccine. Their genetics, their immune system, that's why the no fault part is critical. The vaccine caused it, but there's no bad actor in this case. No, there's no. This is your lawyer speaking. Oh, there's kind of a lawyer. This is like the lawyer in idiocracy. Oh yeah, well they said you're guilty. Here's the kicker. The program is structured around a vaccine injury table. Basically a conversion chart of vaccines and eligible injuries. If your child, for instance, got a rubella vaccine and developed chronic arthritis, within 7 and 42 days you may be eligible for damages. The most common compensation is for shoulder injuries suffered from a misplaced injection.

2:44:55 You can file for an injury not on the table. Overall, half of all claims have been dismissed. Today, vaccines on the table have jumped from the original six to 16, including the annual flu shot, though notably not COVID. As for the eligible injuries, autism is not one of them. That decision did not come easily, as retired special masters Denise Fowle and George Hastings explained. There's been a lot of talk lately about a possible link between vaccines and autism. This has been litigated and decided in your court. 15 years ago. You know, I spent many, many years of my life almost full time looking at that issue.

2:45:49 Now, science... How come they left COVID off? The COVID shot, one of the worst shots ever to be off the list. Because of what? I don't care what happened to you, too bad. Because it wasn't actually a vaccine, you see. It was a... Yes, but it's still covered as an indemn... it's still indemnified. Yes, I know. I know. It's... It is a scam. It's a scam. It's a scam. It's a very unfortunate scam. Very unfortunate. Okay, yes, okay. We're getting we're almost done. Let me just play these two I get to the firebug clips Oh, yeah, this is great. This is great. This is for Newsom's inferno

2:46:30 Yeah, noose, that's a good name. We used it before. Yes, it's... Oh, we have? Yes, we have. But I won't say anything about you because I don't want any bad letters. No, because you're a horrible person. Horrible. Federal and local officials announced a major breakthrough today in the investigation into January's Palisades fire in California. After eight months of intensive work, authorities confirmed the arrest of a suspect in connection with the blaze. NTD's Christina Corona has more on the story. destroying more than 6,800 structures, both homes and businesses, and damaging over a thousand more buildings. Rinderknecht is accused of intentionally starting a fire along a hiking trail just after midnight on January 1st. Officials say he had returned to Pacific Palisades after working an evening shift as an Uber driver on New Year's Eve. Two of his passengers told law enforcement that he appeared agitated and angry that night.

2:47:38 After dropping off a passenger in Pacific Palisades, Rindernack parked his car and tried and failed to contact a former friend. Prosecutors say he walked up a trail, recorded videos and listened to a rap song featuring fire scenes before allegedly setting the fire. Sensors detected the Lockman fire at 12 12 a.m. on January 1st. Officials say he fled the scene in his car but later turned around after passing fire engines. The defendant walked up the same trail from earlier that night to watch the fire and firefighters using his iPhone to take short videos of the scene. Although firefighters initially extinguished the fire, strong winds on January 7th are believed to have caused it to reignite. Officials say the allegations are supported by his phone data, false statements and chat GPT generated images depicting a burning city. The

2:48:32 The allegations in the affidavit are supported by digital evidence, including the defendant's chat GPT prompt of a dystopian painting showing in part a burning forest and a crowd fleeing from it. I find this interesting, this part, because it's not the image, it's his prompt. That's the digital evidence as he was so hell-bent on seeing this fire bug. He's a fire bug. I wonder was he on any antidepressants or any pharma pharmacological? You think that's gonna ever come up in the conversation? Probably not. Officials say Rinderneck generated the images months before the fire broke out.

2:49:12 Rindernegh lied about his location to the police, but cell phone data put him near the scene of the crime. Investigators say he lived in the Palisades and was very familiar with the area. He was arrested near his Florida home and is expected to appear in federal court in Orlando Wednesday. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum of five years and up to 20 years in federal prison. Wow, digital evidence is everywhere people. I don't understand why he only would get such a light sentence. The people died. He's really a manslaughter. Manslaughter, yeah. No, you only go away for a long time if you... And of course the kicker is, which is not on NTD, but if you watch the right-wing news, the kicker is that everyone blamed it on climate change and the kid was a Biden donor and a Democrat. Beautiful.

2:50:08 It doesn't get much better than that. We are excited to welcome a couple of Secretary Generals. We'll get to those in a minute. We do have a night and much more to come, including John's tip of the day. What a doozy it was, the last one you did. People really, really loved your wine tip.

2:59:48 It's like a party John's tip of the day is coming up. You can stay tuned for that. At this point in the show, though, we always like to determine what we're going to play as the end of show ISO, as it's known. And I have one. John sent a bonus clip earlier this morning, which turned out to be a bonus ISO, also known as a BISO. So I will play mine, and then I can't wait to hear yours, particularly because it includes that bonus ISO. Here's the one I have for you. Okay, cool. High five. Over. Done.

3:00:29 Which is a real one, it's not generated by AI. What do you have? It was like AI. It was not AI. Okay, well here's a real one, ISO Bloof. From the ground soaked with our children's blood. Okay, Bloof, we got it. How's that for an end of show? Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, that's alright. And this is the bonus one. It's long. It's a little long. It's on the long side. It's a little long, but it's good. Podcasting is hard. Very hard. Hard, hard, hard. Oh, it's a little bit of a letdown. Well, it was what I had. You spent all morning putting that together? I didn't spend all morning. I hit the last second. I said maybe he won't go for the blood, the children's blood one, which I thought was a good one. From the ground soaked with our children's blood. I'm going to take that one. I'm not taking AI. Who cares? It's time now for John's tip of the day.

3:01:30 Just a tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. Okay, this is a good one. Of course, of course, it's I'm going to recommend a streaming product streaming product that you can put on your I have I put it on my LG screen and you could pay any smart television that will be able to take this and put it up there and you can also just use it your computer, but I have to say I saw it promoted and I've seen advertised And I have to say it's got some... it's not bad.

3:02:08 And it's something I think people should consider using because on it, on the streaming service, there's just under a hundred local TV newscasts from you, news junkies from all over the country, from Memphis to Seattle to San Francisco. They're all over the place. So if you're like you live in some place and you still want to see what's going on at home, this is a place to go. But they have over 300 channels of streaming TV, not to mention free streaming. Yes, Tubi. T-U-B-I. It's actually good. Oh, Tubi. Didn't Tubi buy or get bought by Pluto? No, you're thinking... Pluto is still my go-to, man. No, Pluto. This is better than Pluto. How does Tubi make money?

3:02:54 I think they have, there's some, somehow they make money. I have no idea. To be honest about it, looking at some of their offerings, maybe they have, because they do play a lot of repurposed movies, their collection of movies is just as good as Amazon's. Do they have ads? Old junk movies. You know, if you want old crap movies, they're all on Tubi. So get your get your cheap wine from Costco and watch some old crap movies on Tubi You're taking us down the Tubis Dvorak. Check them all out at tipoftheday.net John's tip of the day And sometimes

3:03:37 Created by Dana Brunetti. Well, that's perfect. Just watch your old crappy 2B movies for the next couple of days. Yeah, you can watch the newscasts too. There's lots of them. They also have the CBC International stuff. They have Euronews is on there. Oh boy. It's a good product. It's not outstanding, but it's good. It's good. Good is all I care. We gotta end the show.

Is it time to pull the plug on artificial intelligence? It's like the invention of fire. This is kind of like the beginning of COVID again, to be honest. This is really at that scale that we should all be taking very seriously. 20 years from now, how are we going to be looking back at this very moment?

3:05:38 That is a great question. Gradually, the list of things humans can do that machines cannot do has gotten shorter and shorter. Being able to talk like a human really can master language.
