Attunement

00:00 That's not interesting. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday November 9th 2025 this is your award winning Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1815 This is no agenda. Providing our public service and 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 Kristi Noem's in trouble I'm John C. Dvorak Why is she in trouble? What has she done? Oh, she bought jets without engines. Without engines?! Oh no! Do you have a clip of this incredibly interesting story? I don't have it...I don't have a clip because it just showed up this morning on the feed and it's an article on...I'll just read you the headline from The Guardian. DHS head

00:56 Reportedly, just the head by the way. Just the head. Reportedly authorized purchase of 10 engineless Spirit Airlines planes that the airline didn't own. Oh that sounds like something horribly bad! Sounds like, what kind of a story is this? Well now it is not... It sounds like bull crap. It's not abnormal to purchase an airframe and engine separately depending on what you're doing. I mean they are separate items they have separate time between overhaul and everything so that's not crazy! Not crazy! No, what's crazy

01:39 supposedly authored the purchase of the Spirit Airlines planes that Spirit Airline didn't own. How does that work? I don't know, where did you find this what news source is... The Guardian! They're trying to make a smear out of it. They're trying to make a smear out of it. The Guardian's are worst. It's alright she can fly them anyway we're shutting down baby we shut down everything was shutting it down Shutting it down This is not good In fact this really is kind of a problem You think? The shutdown. I've had this as a little update. Well it is if you want to travel. Yeah, here's a little update. Chaos in US airports with delayed flights and endless queues at security control the government shut down has not just left severe staff shortages

02:28 but some 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 security agents working unpaid. The Federal Aviation Administration decided to stabilize the situation by cutting 10% of air traffic across 40 airports which could further affect travelers Airlines have 36 hours to slash flights after the US Transportation Secretary announced cuts to transport hubs across 24 states Among them are the busiest airports like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas. But in the end, our sole role is to make sure that we keep this airspace as safe as possible. The FAA's reduction plan which excludes international flights will begin at a 4% cut on Friday before escalating to 10% next week while airlines like Delta Air and American Airlines moved to reassure panicked passengers by offering refunds

03:28 The White House took a different approach. President Trump stated on Thursday that despite the reduced air traffic, it is still safe for Americans to fly. So if they actually get to next Friday with 10% that will be chaos and the main reason is Our system doesn't allow for that type of reduction. You can't get the crews to the next airport so they can take the next... It'll screw up everything, absolutely everything." Which is interesting because the way that your gal Katie Porter there in California, because this is all politics of course and we'll get into it. Katie Porter who I guess she's no longer in the running did she cancel herself out of becoming governor? No!

04:23 person was the lead now that she had screwed it up. I've never said any of this thing of the sort oh That's odd and Lex is not till next year, so it's just you know we got plenty of time plenty of runway here You should work at MSNBC it's great So here is Katie Porter Either grossly misunderstanding what's going on or perhaps lying? Here is a question for Donald Trump as he forces airlines to cancel thousands and thousands of flights. Okay, so... I don't think the president is forcing any airline to cancel any flights. Okay, let's keep it going. Why is he starting first with the commercial planes that we all use to go visit our families or get where we need to for work? Every day thousands of private jets take off carrying

05:16 CEOs, billionaires and the 1% and they take up the work of the air traffic control system too. Wouldn't it make more sense to cancel the planes that carry the fewest passengers first? It's just another example of who Donald Trump really cares about and it isn't us." So first of all, Of all the people I know who own private jets or fly private a lot of them are Democrats maybe the majority I would guess the majority. Everyone I know who has a private plane or well actually they tend to not have them anymore, they're in pools... Yeah yeah yes of course but who fly privately? Democrats rich Democrats But what is happening here is there because of air traffic controllers and TSA agents calling in sick and I can't blame them

06:08 And in order to keep the airspace safe, they had to reduce IFR traffic. So that's instrument traffic that to airports around the country what they actually did and one of them in the first you know, first pool we've got Newark JFK We've got Dallas Fort Worth. We've got Los Angeles San Francisco, Oakland. Seattle, Portland. Everybody! But they also did that to Teterboro and I thought that was a good move because Teterboro is the private plane airport for the tri-state area mainly for New York That is probably one of the busiest for jet travel of billionaires so you know I think everyone kind of gets affected equally

06:58 And I thought that was a good one to put T.D. Burrow into the mix, because maybe someone would call the Democrats and say hey dude I can't land my G5 baby! Stop this knock it off So she's just a liar. She's a horrible person! She's not, not a good person. No and she looks like a horrible person the more she puts herself out there like in that tweet yeah the less likely...she loses votes. She's making a huge mistake Yeah well as I told you she's not gonna be the governor. I already told you that remember? Told ya No, I don't remember you telling me that. I didn't tell you that! So now we have a new development just to reiterate the situation... Before you leave that topic let's go to the...I have some ATC reports Oh yes you do actually didn't even look at your list today Well you should You know what can i just say something right off the bat?

07:56 You sound grumpy today. No! You sound grumpy today Well yeah because you right out right immediately passed over my clips no, you sounded grumpy before you even said hit it I know you. Oh, okay! You can go ahead and try your psychological torture which all the women have observed over the years and they've noticed. I'm gaslighting him again there you go ladies. Psychological torture that's what i'm calling it. Psychological tor... PT! Okay yes I see.. So actually I have a three clips. You have three? I do The simple one is from NPR then there's a two-parter from PBS

08:33 All, you know... all slanted. Oh good! Because it's Trumps fault. And it just... I don't know It's hard to do these clips with these outlets With these liars Yeah, the national public radio. More than 1400 flights around the country have been cancelled after the Trump administration ordered airports to cut flights as the FAA deals with a shortage of air traffic controllers who are working without pay The FAA says that flights at 40 airports will be cut 10% on a phase-in basis As the government shutdown now in its 39th day continues Nick Delucanal has more from the Charlotte Douglas Airport in Charlotte

09:19 Inside the Charlotte terminal here, Jessica Lamuscio and her one-year old daughter are trying to rebook after their flight to Manchester New Hampshire was cancelled leaving them scrambling to get to a family wedding. It just makes it more complicated right especially with her just to figure out like What's our plan? How long do we stay here, how long do you wait it out. If you book again is it going to get cancelled again?" The Charlotte Airport says this morning's ground stop which lasted about an hour was caused by staffing issues in the air traffic control tower. I like the little nat pop of the baby Yeah, there's a lot of wait until we get to the Thanksgiving turkey. Nat pops is going crazy crazy my favorite favorite one which I don't have which was on the local news story with these people from Australia trying to get back to Australia so they're in San Francisco and their flight is leaving tonight today or tomorrow to Australia but it's in Los Angeles and connecting flights canceled that's the problem well hop in the car

10:21 Drive fast. Well, you know it depends on the date whether you can actually make it to LA from San Francisco in a rental and draw and do a drop-off at the airport Yeah And that you could probably do that within eight hours yeah That was my that's my suggestion but they'd be on the wrong side of the road ah I Okay. Woo! There you go. Okay, here we go this is the PBS reporting on this More national public media I can't wait to hear it On the second day of reduced flights at 40 airports The aviation data company Cerium said nearly 4% of flights were cancelled and about 2 1⁄2 percent have been cancelled for tomorrow

11:04 Randy Babbitt was FAA administrator in the Obama administration. Mr. Babbitt, is this working? Are reduced flights... Reducing delays? Okay stop for a second So they bring you know they you know how they book people so they get what can we got to get somebody in here that maybe can slam the Trump administrator just get Obamaguyz But it didn't work out because the Obama guy's pretty reasonable Oh no! Just a normal guy. Oh no! Randy Babbitt was FAA administrator in the Obama administration Mr. Mabin, is this working? Are reduced flights reducing delays? No they're reducing the flights for the primary purpose and a good purpose of making the system safe They're suffering a loss of controllers at various stations They are not interchangeable And to ensure that the system operates safely you just have to reduce traffic down to the level of number of controllers you can put up Is this sustainable?!

11:57 No, it's actually going to continue to accelerate in the wrong direction. The longer we ask people to work without a paycheck, the longer we asked people to work 10-12 14 hour shifts you just can't sustain that. People are calling in sick they're tired It is an intense job and controllers are well trained And there's a lot of stress in that job and you can't keep doing it. You know, we have the staffing levels where they were for good reason and we're not achieving that level of controllers on site and on their stations." I want to go back to the point you made about controllers not being interchangeable It's not that you can sort of see how many controllers are working nationwide it depends on each airport each air traffic control center

12:43 Oh, absolutely. There's a big difference between being an enroute controller or tower controller or approach control person and those are different jobs and they're not interchangeable someone who is working in route cannot go the next morning and be in the Richmond Tower you know it takes months of training to make those transitions I was good comment from a troll in the troll room like that the answer should be from the US officials like the president and who's our boy there at the FAA, what's his name? Duffy. Duffy yeah. Department of Transportation Yes, yeah I should say well this is a preview of what socialism is like

13:27 Just say that, whether it's true or not. Just say it! Just say it? Yeah... That's a good bit. Okay troll guy, this is a good one. Everyone's lying anyway. Well this is a preview of socialism so your socialist representatives are making this happen So this what New York can look forward to No flights Okay part two of this is kind of his little tidbit controllers, you're talking about how they're sort of being stressed now. No pay many of them having to call out to work other jobs to get pay. They were already stressed even before this began the system was already stressed wasn't it? Yes we're still recovering post-COVID you know they let like a lot of companies did they let people go because the system was only operating at 30% at that peak of COVID

14:14 but you don't just call them back. A lot of them are early retired and second, if you have to hire him it takes several years to train a controller to be fully up-to-speed and able to go into the different control positions. Former FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt thank you very much! Oh thank you good luck I like his voice He's got a great voice. Yeah, he should do a podcast! That would be a good follow up career. He should, he has got a better voice than I do. So they never mentioned of course that the traffic was way down during COVID but they also laid people off who refused to get the vax Well why would they do that now? That doesn't behoove anybody You don't think they would mention it because its a fact

15:01 I needed this guy. Where's my guy here? Oh good lord! Yeah, that's my guy. He's a bad guy You know you're doing that sigh constantly now Because it is kind of exasperating And the thing is, it's always a health care. No this is about insurance companies who are basically banks and all I know is that throughout my life I have heard that in Congress you just no one discusses health and no one in discusses insurance period You don't mess with the insurance companies. It's out of control We used to be tough on insurance it was a it was a point of fact that in like states like California That has an Insurance Commissioner They're supposed they crack down on you know illegal dollars just raise it because we can

15:59 Oh, there's no competition. Let's just gouge everybody and too bad if they don't like to pay it what are they going to do? This is interesting that you bring up California specifically because I got an email from one of our producers who emailed...I got it from Jay from the back office And he had called the crowd health outfit that we've been talking about. First of all, he says it was amazing I got someone with an American accent calling me back He was blown away by that That would be a big deal! He's like whoa what just happened? He says it turns out... well he says this is I can't do that Well you can but I said I can't do in California because and I don't know if this true

16:43 Apparently it's illegal in California to be without health care? I don't know that to be true or not. And that you have to pay a $900 annual fine if you don't have healthcare in California I don't know this. Well, this is what our producers said and apparently that's why... I didn't get the note Oh well you were copying me? I mean i got to know-I probably got the note but I didn't read it this morning as you're doing some work No no I understand This is not-this is not-I'm not uh.. I'll look into it! I'm not psychologically torturing you I'm just You're psychologically trying to torture me Just reading a note

17:19 Since we're talking about these lines you have to play this clip. This is a woman and by the way There's tons of these clips with different kinds of stories, and I'm gonna start collecting him because I like them mm-hmm And it's disgusting it's a disgusting. This is the anecdote clip This is these are disgusting stories, and they were you talked about it? I've talked about we all talk about it but But it's still disgusting. So I don't normally jump on that insurance, health insurance is a scam but today it is absolutely a scam and I swear its fraud. I need an MRI on my back because I hurt my back My clinic sent it over to the hospital they ran through my insurance they called me and said hey your portion of it that you're gonna have to pay after insurance is $5100 for this MRI

18:05 So I'm like, wow. Okay. Before we do that just wait because $5100 seems wild. I called another place who was also waiting for my insurance to go through to see how much it was going to be. My insurance is still on hold with them but I asked them if I cash pay this how much it's going to cost for this MRI? 35. And they're like well you just want to cash pay and not run anything through insurance its 700 dollars Sounds a lot better than $5,100. So I called the original hospital back and said hey if i don't run this through insurance what is the cost of I just decide to self pay it since they know the other place at seven hundred dollars. The lady's like um already run it under you being self-paying and I'll call you back with your total so few minutes go by the lady calls me back

18:50 And she goes, hey I talked to my supervisor. Since you have insurance we are not going to let you self pay it so we won't give you that number. How is that not a scam? Isn't it my choice if I want to self pay something versus running it through my insurance how I should get to decide that not you but they're like nope since you have insurance and you've already done it that way we are not going to allow You to self pay it And I think that's because they probably were gonna give me a self-pay price kind of like the other place maybe 700 bucks Maybe up to 1300 still way less than $5,100 that it was going to make me pay and I just think like what if

19:28 What if I wouldn't have called around? And I would've been stuck with this $5,100 bill. Insurance is such a rip off. I don't know how in the world this hospital is telling me that I now can't self pay it. What does it matter? I'm gonna go to the other place but I don't know how this hospital is allowed to now tell me hey yeah you can't self pay something if you have already had us run it through your insurance. I haven't even had it yet. Yeah, and I'll remind all of the socialists out there that having lived under the fabulous fantastic five pound a visit national health care system in the United Kingdom. The choice was...and Christina need an MRI on her knee because it popped out a couple times. The choice was oh of course! Of course the National Health Care System, the NHS it's our pride and joy. In 18 months you can get your MRI

20:18 And I call up the MRI place and say, hey can i just come to you and pay directly? Well of course. I go there... There's no one there! No one! No One! I pay cash good to go It's and so there was no one there. No one was there I think that what we were doing the show, I believe we may have discussed I vaguely remember this story You've told at least twice Yeah, how have to look it up and being a dot but the point is is no one was there In other words say yeah whatever you know So they did so that they put you on the 18-month waiting list On purpose to torture you yes

20:57 talk about torture, psychological torture. Well it's more than psychological in this case but you got a bad knee you know... But the whole point is that insurance companies they're just banks right? I mean is it them or...? The question about this last anecdote The insurance company plus her $5,100. How much money is the hospital getting? Oh they're getting seven hundred dollars! They're getting seven hundred dollars. The insurance company takes the rest this is why they all want to go outside of the system this is why you can go to any doctor any health care provider and say what's your deal for cash and they will say oh you'll

21:44 You'll see them go, oh thank you we don't have to do all those forms this is great. Yeah here's your price because they don't want...they have to fight they have to fight with the insurance company to get their measly 700 bucks which is what it was in the first place It's theft and be and the media branding it as health care who says healthcare? And politicians healthcare well healthcare is well healthcare! It's not healthcare its theft And the whole shutdown, and this is what... This is the irksome part. Is while they keep talking about healthcare, healthcare, is this was... This subsidy for the insurance company slash financial institution let's call it that Warren Buffett by the way can we just say Warren Buffett? Isn't he the big insurance guy

22:32 He's got a lot of insurance companies, although he is moving his finances heavily into cash. Yes but by the way Warren Buffett, Democrat, private jet, Omaha, the Oracle of Omaha... But the whole point is it's big finance that is in this game and the politicians, and I'm sure that the payoff if we really go and look at it. If you go to OpenSecrets.org... No all these Democrats are loaded to the gills with financing from these guys Not just the Democrats Republicans too obviously And this is why the Republicans they don't want to then you'll disagree with me They don't want to use that nuclear option and end the filibuster To open up the country again because they will get penalized by their backers as well

23:23 So they don't want to do it. I don't want to lose my money, you know? My re-election campaign and my million dollars that get me on the committee The whole thing, people should... I think we need pitchforks this time. Pitchforks? Pitchforks and AR-15's Seriously! And so President Trump sees this He has already tried to convince the Republicans Hey just do it you'll be a hero if you got no no no No Democrat, You only need five Democrats to vote yes And they would be heroes. No, no you can't get him to do that either So the president he just goes he's starting his own nuclear option campaign as he posted today on truth social

24:08 President Trump is out with a proposal on health care would eliminate Obamacare and send money directly to people to buy their own healthcare. My question for you, Senator do you support president Trump's plan to eliminate Obamacare and send money directly? Well his statement wasn't to eliminate Obamacare His statement was very clear it was why are we sending money to insurance companies Right now the Democrat proposal they put out with Chuck Schumer, put out this past week was let's continue to send billions of dollars to insurance companies and hope insurance companies will bring down premiums. That's not worked That's not worked for years now. You go back to Obamacare when it was first released, it was just going to bring down rates 25%. Can anyone tell me that their rates have gone down 25% anywhere in this? And so the president's proposal was pretty straightforward stop sending money just insurance companies hope is get better give Americans freedom of choice if we're gonna allow subsidies get out there getting the people not the insurance company you're saying something really interesting I want to make sure I understand

25:11 She said, he's not saying anything. This is like this is as bad as that's a great question. You're saying something interesting there? He said nothing interesting! We need to come up with a better interlude That's not interesting! repeal Obamacare which has been the long-held position. Yeah right now Obamacare is health care in America what Democrats did 15 years ago was they radically changed all healthcare in America they moved all physicians under hospitals, they changed all their reimbursement programs they shifted everything in so it is healthcare in America's the challenge is what we have now

26:04 has to be fixed. Oh yeah, it was only Democrats okay sure it was only Democrats you're all in on this and Hillary Clinton tried this the first time around the Clinton administration they all...this theft game was always the plan Always! And that's just so much money What do you think it is? Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars a year. It's got to be. Yeah, goes right into the insurance companies. Finance companies! Warren Buffett... what's his stock price at? What's his stock price $147,000 a share? Something like that right yeah I know quite that I know who's there all the rich people are he's The Oracle sure

26:48 She also talked to Hakeem Jeffries about this. provided by Obamacare, be sent directly to the people so that they can purchase their own much better health care. Would you ever support giving subsidies directly to the American people instead of Obamacare? Yes I think that's an interesting question. We have a broken healthcare system but the Affordable Care Act has been part of actually providing health insurance to tens of millions of Americans and

27:35 Of course there's always opportunity to improve current policy that exists, but Republicans aren't operating in good faith as it relates to doing anything to actually make health care more affordable and we've seen that repeatedly over the last several weeks. Now if Donald Trump is changing his tune and is actually willing to sit down and negotiate a bipartisan path forward of course we are interested doing that. We've been making that point for the last several weeks." What do you make of that proposal online now? Does it sound like he's interested in doing that?" I mean, it's hard to take these online things seriously there's no actual legislation there's no text is no policy documents to be able to review if that exists if that somehow materializes and manifests itself in the next day or so we look forward to reviewing it in good faith

28:27 It seems like parties are rather far apart at this point. Doesn't seem like anyone's getting any closer, you know? The Republicans want to open the government. The Democrats don't, and they think they have...and they call it leverage and they think they've got the Republicans over a barrel and they think they can get money back to their insurance buddies because insurance buddies have all paid away for most of these Democrats to get in office and stay in office as you just said

29:07 And so they're doing the best they can to get this over. And then they got this latest with one of these guys, I forgot which one of the congressmen said well now that we've won in the blue states, we won our governorships now we have to make sure that people don't think we're gonna knuckle under to the Republicans were tough guys now. So being tough guys, stay the course! So I don't know. But I just want to say again, you say it's a non-starter and never going to happen but Republicans also have a one second solution to this I mean just say okay we're just done with the filibuster rule and then we open it back up. Republicans can also do it, It's all political they think that bad because well then the Democrats can use it... Okay! Well to get the filibuster across the line there still gonna have to get the Democrats cause its still that new 60 votes too That's not true. I looked this up No it is true I don't think so. I believe- It is true absolutely Okay I looked it up

30:10 I looked it up, and the nuclear option is a procedural workaround to bypass the two-thirds cloture requirement and change the rules with a lower threshold. It involves raising a point of order. And if the presiding officer rules against it appealing that ruling overriding the president's officer requires only a simple majority. That's the nuclear option as I understand it. Okay, well, I mean it's possible that what you read there is exactly right and that would do the trick but this not my understanding and the way they present at least the way I heard it is that you still need to 60 votes in Democrats will vote for ignoring that its gonna benefit them in the end then they can still vote against

31:01 the final proposal and look like the good guys. Well, and they have actually used this method in the past to eliminate certain parts of filibuster in 2013 for most executive and judicial nominations that was the Democrats and 2017 to extend... It's still in play by the way for those processes that still exists What do you mean? Well, they put it in 2013-2017 whatever the dates were you had Yeah that is still in play. You still don't need 60 votes to pass a court guide But that's what I mean so they use this same yeah the user but yeah, but once it went and played stayed in place Of course it does That's the point So if it's all just its power game no matter which way you look at it's a power game

31:53 It's not what the people want. Well, I know it's hurting the show. It is! It's definitely hurting the show no doubt and then and i think president trump... No we have a lot of government workers that can't afford to donate to this show. We have a lot of people that are you know affected by the downturn in the government work Yes yes I know buckle down bear down on it brother tighten your belt no agenda shows in trouble With every with him trouble, but everybody else good. No I just hence your mood this morning now. I get you I gotcha The president though. I think is making a mistake Now it was really the Republicans running for governor and four different state positions who all ran on

32:44 woke and the border, and did not run on the president's economic plan. Which is pretty clear if you see what he's doing bringing back manufacturing, doing deals getting investments in But they didn't. They ran on, yeah those guys have trannies and uh... Yeah that works on the national level. It was a political mistake because right at the moment when people are starting to feel it they're sending the wrong message Democrats go we'll give it to you! No problem will freeze the rents free buses government grocery stores

33:21 So now the president has an affordability problem, affordability. And the Democrat media can well the Democrat influenced and occupied media mainstream they are using it to an extreme so when I hear this little supercut of the President He knows it too. It's no good if we do a great job, and you don't talk about it And I don't think they talk about enough You know they have this new word called affordability and they don't talk about it enough the reason that I want to talk About affordability is because everybody knows that it's far less expensive under Trump So I don't want to hear about the affordability because right now We're much less who was a conjob affordability They call it but we just lost in election they said based on affordability Do you know I saw that? They kept talking about affordability so

34:09 We talk about affordability. We should be talking about it because they talk about affordability. The affordability is much better with the Republicans. We are the ones that have done great on affordability, so we are the victors on affordability So, no one cares when the president says that. They're looking at their wallet and going now something's wrong it's not affordable an NBC slash MSNBC When are they gonna be MS now? I can't come soon enough November 15th They set a trap! They set a trap for him and he walked right into it Here's the setup

34:47 Well, I haven't heard that. You're telling me who you with? Who you with? Fake news and your fake news. What a what NBC's gun down the tubes along with most of the rest of them while they feel better about our country right now other than the shutdown obviously which is caused by the Democrats could be ended by the Democrats in two minutes They feel much better. We have more jobs, we just set a record on jobs You do know that? We have more investment in our country than any country in history were over 18 trillion dollars as of this moment and we're going to be maybe at 20 or 21 trillion by the time I finish up my first year and There's been no country China No country in the world has done anywhere even close to that number

35:31 Your friend Biden, as an example in four years was less than a trillion will be at 21 trillion in one year. So there's no country that was even close to that and our country was a laughingstock all over the world. We have more jobs we have more potential than any other country and frankly with the hottest country right now Victor said to me before, we're the hottest country anywhere in the world. Think of it will have 2021 trillion dollars invested. We have auto plants pouring back in. We have a I pouring back and we're leading China in AI by a lot

36:06 We're leading everybody in every category. There's no category that we're in second place So I just heard this yesterday that Walmart said that the Thanksgiving was 25 more expensive 25% more Expensive under Biden, that's a big to me That's a that's a big number because Walmarts respected I mean Walmart is Walmart and you know they're giving you prices so that would mean that the whole Series of pricing and costs, you know the groceries everything else. It was a con job It was a kind of affordability They call it was a con job by them by the Democrats The Democrats are good at a few things cheating on elections and conning people with facts that aren't true

36:52 So he walks right into the Walmart trap. He should have known that Walmart is a bunch of crazy Democrats who are setting him up because if you listen to the full question, It was about Walmart and he goes off, and it's all true. All this investment of course but it's not going into people's pockets for Thanksgiving Here is the setup paid off in this case by Jen Psaki I just want to say since you brought up the Walmart Thanksgiving meal Yeah And it is cheaper but also contains less That's right. The Walmart Thanksgiving meal that Trump has been touting as proof positive that he has made the country more affordable is cheaper this year

37:46 Because it has less stuff, like a lot less stuff. I mean for days now Trump has been pushing the fact that the pre-packaged Walmart Thanksgiving dinner is 25% cheaper than it was last year but he's been conveniently ignoring the fact that this year's Walmart Thanksgiving package is missing a bunch of items it had last year like onions celery sweet potatoes chicken broth seasoning muffin mix marshmallows whipped topping and pecan pie I mean, those are all pretty key delicious parts of Thanksgiving. Right? The meal also downgraded certain items like swapping Hawaiian rolls for cheaper dinner rolls. So yeah surprise surprise his claim is completely misleading

38:25 But he was pushing this whole Thanksgiving meal narrative for a reason. I mean, since Democrats swept Tuesday's election the right has all of a sudden woken up to America's affordability crisis. I think this was a trap set by Walmart they went Mr President it's great! It's great! It's 25% cheaper and people are gonna get their packages and then go open it up like what is this? I'm like Tiny Tim here I think it was a purposeful trap. You're telling me that Jen Psaki's team went to Walmart? Oh, let's go investigate the package! No, there is no PTMI! No, I'm not going say you are wrong about that but I don't think the impact is in the way your making out Nobody listens to Jen Psaki She has zero ratings But she is just... This is an example of NBC payoff He has been saying this for a week

39:17 Oh, it's cheaper. It's cheaper I think they set him up you watch is gonna have don't know NBC nightly news or the Walmart If it shows up on nightly news than I did I'm totally green all right Yeah, well, I think it was a thing was a setup. I think he he was too prideful He wasn't he wasn't in there wasn't on watch He's missed a lot of things. He's busy That's true And of course we got to sneak in some other things here. But I think this is an opportunity, this is ABC... Well, I will say that we are going back on what you said because the question was about Walmart specifically to trigger the Walmart reaction and then Saki follows up but again it's small potatoes because nobody listens to J- Nobody watches her show or her! This is just happening. Okay well I'm just saying

40:14 They could have been better. Like if it was rolled out by... they skipped the sake step. Skip the sake? It would have been better. ABC's on it, but they have a different bent. This morning with less than three weeks until Thanksgiving new concern that turkey and egg prices could rise once again. That's because... Nat pop of the week ladies and gentlemen! that turkey and egg prices could rise once again. That's because bird flu cases are rising again as more wild birds head south. What? Within the last month... Bird flu cases are rising again! This is news to me Yeah, well they're tying it into Walmart don't worry That's because bird flu cases are rising again as more wild birds head south within the last month nearly 70 poultry flocks nationwide have been hit with the virus killing more than three and a half million turkeys chicken and ducks Hold on a second shouldn't we just open up

41:16 Shooting at wild birds then? Isn't that the solution, should we all just be in our backyards and just shootin' any birds that go over. Solve the problem? I mean there's enough guns. Shoot all birds! Wildbirds are really the carrier for the avian influenza virus, especially migratory waterfowl. Experts fear that government shutdown and staff cuts at CDC and Agriculture Department could weaken federal response. One virologist telling NPR a network of researchers used to be in constant contact with federal agencies to monitor cases but , Egg prices may also suffer, but there are Thanksgiving deals to be had. Walmart says it's lowering the cost of its Thanksgiving meal bundle by 25% this year and Target is offering a Thanksgiving dinner for four for just 20 bucks Yeah you wait you wait until we're gonna have it's gonna well they didn't say anything about this shrinkage shrink place on their Walmart not yet I think

42:35 We're gonna see the Thanksgiving reports and it's gonna be sad children going, Mommy there are no marshmallows in my sweet potatoes. Where is my pecan pie? I'm sorry Tiny Tim. That's President Trump he shrunk your Thanksgiving Day package You know what Move these things in this into place because of this good like a grand conspiracy that you're saying it But that brings me to this bird test nonsense because it involves birds. I got it again

43:19 I gotta find, go find my... I just found mine. You got to find mine. Okay all right yes bird test so that so um i didn't make this connection that because the birds birds birds turkeys turkey dinner and then there's a stupid the stupidest story that I've heard on PBS forever yeah I don't know if you're even aware about the bird test not sure how they don't know Well, I got some clips about it. It's ridiculous but here it is One of the latest relationship tests on social media to go viral is The Bird Theory It starts with a casual comment You know when you were inside and saw really pretty bird?

44:02 A bird? I saw a bird today. I saw a bird today! I forgot to tell you that i saw a bird today! The test is how the partner responds... Wait, I saw a blue jay the other day too No literally I saw one on my run Do they engage pointed beak rounded beak or not why are you telling them these tests have racked up millions of views They're based on a theory developed by couples researcher John Gottman about the importance of engaging with partners when looking for a connection. But what do they really tell us? Alexander Solomon is a licensed clinical psychologist, an adjunct professor at Northwestern University and the host of a podcast called Reimagining Love. Alexandra how valuable is this test? What does it really reveal? You know these tests come and go and I tell you what this one is particularly sneaky because it's...it does have Gottman's research behind it. And there's a wish that all of our relationships could boil down to one little test like that

45:01 So although there's validity, it's putting too much weight in one little micro moment. Wow! Folks this is a four-parter from PBS about some tests to see if you should divorce your spouse based upon how they answer the question or a statement that you make about a bird that you saw? I saw a bird... Yeah so what?! Did ya shoot it? I'm divorcing you!! Did you shoot it? It might have bird flow. Wow! And it has science behind it, apparently." Yes this guy look at this guy just John Gottlieb character he's like a most gosh awful looking person there is I mean one of those very ugly ugly effer perfect face for science and uh... it's just like okay but the thing that got caught on tiktok this is the kind of thing that we

45:56 As old stirs, we can't keep up because it's going too fast for us. This is your boomer moment people! Alright here we go So I had to extract this from PBS and made a whole segment out of it And by the way this was not the whole thing It goes on and on but there's just part two which is the yuck part of it Well, tell us about Gottman's theory. Tell us about that. What Gottman says is that romantic relationships are not made up of the grand sweeping gesture—you know the rose petals on the bed and all of those sort of fairy tale ideas we grow up with. In fact, romantic relationships—the healthy ones—are made up of a series of thousands and thousands

46:38 micro moments of connection that build trust and safety and authenticity between partners. That's what this test is about, it's a bid for connection. You know the New York Times calls this social media's relationship yardstick du jour and you talked about how these come and go why are we so drawn to this? We're drawn to it because there are a few things in our lives that make us feel quite as vulnerable as our intimate relationships do. The stakes are high, the consequence of losing the person that we love through a breakup through divorce certainly through death those consequences are very big you know we risk heartbreak and so I think we are forever looking for evidence

47:18 To the to answer the question are we okay? You know are we okay. Are you with me do you have my back Do you see a murder hold on please tell me I have a clip of the actual test and how it works because I can't wait to try this right after that in fact, I might call Tina during the show It's simple. You say I saw a bird and then you get the reaction of the other person, which it goes on... They kind of explain it let it play out But the only... Here we'll do it This is how two people who have been together in a relationship for 18 years Do this test go ahead John ask me. Well, well In fact, I have this planned for the end

48:01 Oh, okay. All right and what is the motivation for people to put these online and have strangers discuss it? Well John here's where the rubber hits the road I do think that especially in these scenarios we're seeing where people have taped their partner without their consent you know that's a kind of boundary violation and What's the boundary violation? Taping someone without their consent You know, the way the kids do it with the cameras with their little phone. Bring your phone out and you record someone that's a but I'm going to use this darling. That's a boundary violation. It's a boundary violation where people have taped their partner without their consent. You know that's a kind of boundary violation and I think if somebody is tempted to test their partner in this way The first step is to check in with themselves. What

48:56 what's going on here. And we really have normalized that we sort of live these two lives, we live the flesh and blood life of ours and we live this online life so I think we really have normalize it kind of you know ordinary or no big deal right now to be showing little windows into our world online but i think it's a problem I think we ought to be careful. This does show a willingness to sort left the other partner's world in, something that they value in the world. They found interesting." Does that tell us anything? Absolutely! It feels really good when we notice something or we raise something and our partner turns toward us... Is she in a relationship currently?

49:38 No, she's a single mom at best. Instead of looking at their phone and saying uh-huh or not responding at all it's really painful those breaks in connection are really painful for us. And those moments of attunement where our partner turns their attention toward us feel really good. So there's that's where the validity is, the validity is that our desire to connect with our partner in these small seemingly insignificant ways matter and makes sense people want you know to have the partner ask follow up questions about this little bird that we saw. I so okay um

50:18 First of all, the term attunement is a possible show title. This is Attunement. Okay put it on the list okay we see I think there's the last clip no no so no there's a A bird test for retort clip. Yes, that's what we're going to do the test you're going to ask me I found a script for how To answer this correctly so you pass the test well i know and it is clipped And don't play it as clip four but this is what you're gonna Ask Me What uh You saw a bird and then you play Clip 4 because that will be my Answer okay? Then then you're Gonna ask me The question It'll have I'll give My answer Okay

50:57 Can we play? Ask me to play, okay. Okay I ask you and then I hit the clip for it, okay Now am I supposed to- isn't it just a statement like... I saw a bird today! Isn't that- I'm not supposed to ask a question Right, right Could you pretend to be on your phone for second because I think thats part of the test Yeah im on da phone Okay I saw a bird today! You know, I see a bear Everybody's talking about the bear And when the bears are there, they're there, they're there, they're there, they're there So fuck it The bird is the word yes that question for you. Yes name that group Everybody's talking about the birds it's the surfers the trashman trash man ah I should have known okay, and it was based on another song called Birds to the word yes by another group named a group You've got me

51:59 The Rivingtons. Very good! Is that available on 78? No, but I'll tell you everyone should go look up the Trashman presentation of Birds of the Word or Surfer Bird, Surf and Bird. That's what I was going to do, Surf and Bird. On YouTube and watch this guy And then you realize where Mick Jagger got all his moves Yeah yeah okay so now I'll be on my phone and then you say I saw a bird today Okay here we go Hold on let me get out my phone okay i'm on my phone I saw a bird today. Hey man, birds aren't real! That's reasonable. That's my answer right there everybody knows birds aren't real they're spy drones so i have seen people do a version of this and it's really what if I understand this

52:55 abbreviated version of this very long report that was apparently on public broadcast systems. He was! And this is noticeable, especially if in a group setting where someone is on their phone and you'd be talking or even if it's just two people and they're texting something... It's typical for them to text And, you know they will... it's interesting to see that actually be... You might have seen this yourself with the kids. Maybe maybe not and you probably forbid phones at the table No I bitch about it a lot Yeah Then they will answer you but it'll be when they have a break in their typing

53:35 So it's like a delayed response. They hear what they're saying... Oh, that's an interesting... You're right! I've seen this happen. Yeah It's a delayed response. Yeah there you say something and they are still typing and they can't lose the train of thumb typing Yes And then once they finish and you see them finished then they say something yeah That's what it is. And so some people will say something like ooh we almost crashed you know, just to see if their friend partner spouse whatever is listening which of course they aren't. They are...they're hearing but they're not listening and this is... I blame that there's only one reason the whole bird test the whole thing it really all about one thing in which is the addiction to the phone phones yeah that's what it is so okay

54:23 You know, I'm against this. I think it's a bad idea What? I'm against tricking... This is a boundary violation Oh, you're against the tricking concept itself? No. I mean why don't you just say... I saw a bird! Why don't you just say hey, you suck. You know, you can say whatever you want because the whole intent is to make the other person feel crappy because they what you said what i saw a bird and then of course the follow-up is YOU WEREN'T LISTENING!!! That's pretty much what this is about

55:01 Wow, that's a pretty good shout. It's not... it's not a good... boundary violation! You should have an adult conversation and say hey you know when we're talking let's just put the phones down that's it how about just grabbing the phone out of their hands and stomping on the floor Wow, wow. That's... well you know? It was basically a double shaggy dog story we just did Yeah I like it, bring in the surfing bird was good It is unfortunately that time of the year again Do you know what time it is? You know what time it is?!

55:49 You don't know what time it is, do you? You don't know. Taco Time! Yeah I wish... It's COP TIME! Cop cop cop time! Oh brother, you've got clips from this?! Oh yes well it's not so much- It's all yours. It's not so- I have a setup clip from the opening of COP 30 All The Elites Are In Brazil WOOP! Party time, let's fly our jets down to Brazil. They're all flying their private jets and you can have a lot of party time if Brazil is the place to be. In Brazil it's party town central! The president of Brazil Lula da Silva greeted heads of state from all over the world as they arrived for the UN's COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian Amazon

56:25 The leaders from the planet's three biggest polluters, China the US and India were nowhere to be seen. In his opening address Lula urged countries to actively fight against climate disinformation That's the theme for this year's COP30 it's climate disinformation which funny enough is is coming from themselves. Extremist forces fabricate fake news to obtain electoral gains and imprison future generations in an outdated model that perpetuates social and economic inequalities, and environmental degradation.

57:02 A message echoed by French President Emmanuel Macron. Climate disinformation today threatens our democracies, the Paris Agenda and therefore our collective security. But it's a tough sell when the leader of one of the world's largest carbon emitters Donald Trump is the source of that disinformation calling climate change a hoax and a con job, and refusing to send anyone to the meeting. For its part China will send its deputy prime minister while Argentina's president of Trump ally has also boycotted the summit in his speech The UN Secretary-General tore into countries for their failure to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius A key aim of the 2015 climate summit in Paris Every fraction of a degree

57:49 means more hunger, displacement and loss. You've got to listen to what he says every fraction of a degree 2015 climate summit in Paris Every fraction of the agreement is more hunger, displacement and loss Especially for those least responsible. It's horrible, every fraction of a degree! ...to climate change... Now we know that there is a scandal brewing in Denmark but that doesn't matter because it's COP30 We've got to promote killing the cows man As climate change worsens and fossil fuels run out, finding new green energy sources is of the essence. Oh wait this isn't the cows clip This is even funnier The USA chemist slash industrialists will like this gambit The world's first large-scale eMethanol facility in Kassa Denmark is trying to foster the green transition E Methanol Do you know what eMethanol is?

58:44 E-methanol. I'm trying to come up with environmentally friendly ethanol? Yes, and how would you make... Or methanol How would you make e-methanol this is great I would stick a tube up a cow's butt. No, that's wrong. E-Methanol is made using renewable energy by splitting the water atom with an electrolyzer and then combining the pure hydrogen in a reactor tower with biogenic carbon dioxide European Energy, the company that co owns the facility intends for e-methanol to be a green alternative to traditional methanol So they're doing hydrolysis with solar panels

59:25 Hydrolysis with solar panels and windmills, and then some cow burps. And oh it's really good this report proves it. Made with fossil fuels. The world market today is 100 million ton of methanol. And part of the consumers of that wants to green their supply chain So it can be in shipping for fuel, which is actually new for methanol. There's even an additional use of methanol." Decarbonizing the shipping sector — which has grown to account for about 3% of global emissions — is a focus for global leaders and an issue set to be discussed at COP30 in Belém Brazil on Monday. E-methanol could help green the industry by replacing the large amount of fossil fuels used by vessels to transport cargo across the globe

1:00:10 European Energy's CEO, Eric Anderson says the company expects price parity with fossil fuels by 2030. Even so the facility's current e-methanol production capacity is 40 thousand tons annually a ways away from replacing the 100 million ton global market for methanol produced with fossil fuels. Forty thousand tons but we only need one hundred million thousand tons by... We can make it boys! We'll be able to make it no worries Bring and crank up the windmills. Because of course what's happening now is now that COP30 is taking place, this is the money summit! This is where everybody puts their proposals in... I need some money for my research, I need some money for my e-methanol It's a big money suck And here's the killing the cows clip When cows eat, the grass ferments in their stomachs and produces methane

1:01:03 Methane is over 80 times stronger than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere in the short term. A single cow can release more than 100 kilos of methane a year. Now multiply that by the world's billion cows and the number gets wild due to climate change. The number gets wild everybody! But scientists are testing fixes like seaweed feed, which in some trials has cut methane by up to 80%. Garlic additives have also been found to change a cow's gut microbes and reduce gas production. Oh, get to the point! Get to the point you really want to sell us... And then there are even cow vaccines designed to block methane-making microbes in the stomach If these solutions scale up, the payoff could be massive as cutting methane from livestock is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming Releasing wind can be pretty funny sure

1:02:01 But from cows, they are no laughing matter. I mean yes this will work This will absolutely work if you kill the cows with your silly vaccine there will be less methane in the in the atmosphere Absolutely so that that's the vaccine guys So I'm so III since where I'm sitting in this office You see I have an overview of a freeway yeah And there are thousands and thousands and thousands of cars that go by. All pumping out a moderate amount of CO2 out the tailpipe.

1:02:37 I'm thinking, I haven't seen a cow for months. But yet somehow the cows are gonna be responsible... This is a bunch of vegan meat haters blaming the cows for climate change when there's no such thing as bullcrap! No this is the vaccine people trying to make money right? There's that too okay you have a combination of lethal cons... The lethal combination of vegans and and vaxxers, it's unbelievable. Why don't they just give the vaccines to the vegans? There is a solution that I saw a bird today. Everybody talking about the bird! Okay so if you're a scientist... I need more money for my research. I need more money for my research. I must come up with a term

1:03:32 that gets me money for my research. Put it into a report for me, please." 2025 has not been a good year for glaciers A series of reports all appear to confirm that climate change is melting these bodies of ice at an alarming rate Since 2000 the world has lost more than 7 trillion tons of ice from mountain glaciers. Signs of melting evident here on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc Mountain. Now see if you can spot the term this scientist is going to use, to get more money for research.

1:04:07 What we have observed over the years is that the glacier is slowing down. And this is a sign that there's less input of mass to the glacier from snowfall. Now scientists are rushing to recover... I don't understand what he said, now you'll hear it! Don't worry. ...where the ice has created an archived full of important information about rainfall volcanic eruptions and other climate events So the point is that because the glaciers are melting we're losing history. Yes, we're losing critical data but what can happen as the warming progresses you will have very hot summers even up there with very hot meaning above the melting point of ice

1:04:54 which means that water can percolate into the firm, that's the compacted snow that is on top of the firm ice and therefore contaminates the climate signals. It's a critical mission to secure the first... It's the climate signals John! Climate is, we're losing climate signals. You kind of put a boing right after the word you wanted me to identify Yeah I kinda did that yes kinda did that It's the climate signals But you know what? Let's get Japan in on this scam because they're there Everyone is at the COP30 except for America Russia and China ARK And India Oh India...I think India sent a dude though I think they sent a dude A representative, climate representative, climate dude

1:05:44 I sent somebody and i think China also sent a dude but an insignificant dude because you know all the bigwigs are there. Anyway, Japan? We got a problem with climate change! Refrigerator doors ripped from their hinges. This is the aftermath of a bear probably looking for food in hot spring onsen in northern Japan. Why are they talking like this all the time at the climate summit? Is it a library and they have to speak like this when we're talking about climate so we have to be quiet? It's very, very serious business you know

1:06:23 death of the entire planet. In Japan, the authorities killed it soon after the inn's owner called the authorities. This 68-year old was taken by surprise when he opened his garage and found a bear sitting inside. A bear? I thought it is over for me this how am going to die. I thought that I was going to be killed by that bear. This map shows the number of non fatal bear attacks in yellow and bear attack deaths in red with a stark uptick in October. We've got a bear attack map going bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep! A record setting 13 people have died in bear attacks since April, more than doubling the previous records set in 2023. More than 100 people have been wounded in attacks across the country According to experts a warming climate has produced an abundance of food for bears in the mountains creating an ideal environment for them to thrive Due to climate change Oh baby it's all climate change Unbelievable You're gonna be killed with this for the next week

1:07:21 I think the way it was interesting to me is that at the same time they're reporting, even though not all the networks are doing it. They're reporting that because of this cold snap that's coming in from the Arctic that's going to hit us you know this week and hitting us now a lot of people aren't listening to the show because of it. It's called... no it's not The Bomb? No something else but whatever it is they've now predicting 200 year records are gonna be broken for all-time lows How does that work? Yeah, well it's due to climate change. Due to climate change! Don't you understand anything?! And then amidst all of this the people who actually get it right

1:08:05 They're going out of business. After more than two centuries, the Farmers' Almanac announcing it is ending production after the 2026 edition that's after it releases the publication says rising costs and a changing media landscape made it impossible to keep going. The website will also slowly shut down along with its social media posts staff say they are thankful for their support that they've had over the years and they are proud of the legacy they leave behind. This is a travesty! Yeah, now that you mention it... The Farmer's Almanac was cool. When was the last time you bought one copy? Probably... There's reason this is what happens when people neglect things like The Farmer's Almanac or even to No Agenda Show for that matter yeah and they just take it for granted oh there it is yes predicting the weather again in their you have it no blah blah blah and then we go out of business because you didn't buy a copy

1:09:00 Well, I feel really bad now. You should! What... let me see what the... Let me see because i think yeah there's a 20 so we should buy the 20 if everyone on mass buys the 2026 almanac they might be able to keep the website going Well, I think we should all buy a copy. Let me see... $4.79 people! That's cheap! No wonder they went out of business It should have been eight bucks by now Well the real problem is that they only released- They didn't release it every year? The Farmers' Almanac? Yeah, they did. Yeah, they should have had Farmers' Almanac monthly Well their website is no good. I mean they should've done V for V baby! They should do them value for value

1:09:50 But yeah, you're right. Your point is well made because everyone just kind of expected the news to tell us what the Farmers' Almanac said and we didn't support them—me included. I stick my hand in my own breast—me included. Now they are going away and who were the people behind it? God, they're a lot of work. They're FAA controllers. Was it farmers? I don't think there was a farmer involved. Asking for a friend... Yeah so we'll be absolutely obliterated with this nonsense for the next week at least. Should I have some ice- couple ice clips

1:10:35 Yeah, the ice thing is... I do have some local boots on the ground stuff about the ice. Oh good well let's get to that right these clips are interesting this is the wild ice there's a kick this wild ice app they get some apps they're using and everyone was stunned by these apps oh those things crazy crazy things in this app that like you know do facial recognition and it's just a scandal as immigration customs enforcement I forgot. It says SS on there, means Scott Simon. Well how...I mean oh okay that is that now the code? Is that the...? Yeah i'm sorry I should have done it. I've been doing this for a while with the code but I forgot to tell you the code. Suffer and suck attach! I'm Scott...

1:11:20 Sorry, that's my fault. Simon! As Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE strives to deport more immigrants it is increasing its surveillance tools critics warn these new technologies can violate privacy and civil liberties And as Jude Joffe Block joins us now Jude thanks so much for being with us Thank you What are some of the tools that ICE agents are using these days? Well, they've got new contracts to monitor social media and help find people's locations. ICE has also revived a contract with a company called Paragon Solutions which is known for making spyware that can hack into cell phones but one big thing that's new is it an

1:12:06 an app ICE and Border Patrol agents have in the field. Social media videos show they're using it to scan people's faces during encounters on the street... No way! Are you an idiot? ...in an attempt to identify them, and figure out if they're deportable Jude, how does this app work? Well there's still a lot that is unknown. But one of these videos that was first reported by 404 Media was shot outside of Chicago and you see border patrol agents approaching two young people. The young man filming the encounter says he doesn't have ID and then the agent turns to his colleague and asks... Can you do facial?

1:12:48 He says and his colleague pulls out his phone and holds it up and appears to scan his face though It's possibly took a photo The video was posted by someone claiming to be the cousin of one of the boys who has stopped The poster didn't respond to a request about the post but NPR was able to verify exactly where it was taken we did get a statement from ice, and they didn't answer questions about this app as but said nothing new here for years law enforcement across the nation has leveraged technological innovations to fight crime. Yeah, I do have a problem with this! We can make fun of it but we do live in a constitutional republic where papers please and if you don't give your papers you get a facial is not cool i'm against that I don't care what's going on

1:13:38 Yeah, well they have the case you know your desk for your driver's license all the time You have to have a light but you now yet. They've really I did he had a plane Yes, I know and then somebody's got a guy in front of it that you want to deport You want to make sure boy? I'm I think my voice is choking up man. You're falling apart Not choking up. I'm choked And so they take a picture of the guy's face and it shows up as who it is I mean we've been watching that we've been primed for this if you watch television mysteries and dramas over the last 25 years. We've been primed for it, here's the problem...and they do it on Facebook

1:14:20 Yeah, that's the problem. You should not have a Facebook profile this is problem number one I don't even have a Facebook account do you? No! I gave mine up at least 11 years ago At least And people still... it's amazing that people still send me hey you gotta see this post And it's Facebook, and I can't see the post. Actually you know recently... Sometimes you can. You gotta click the Facebook login thing but then if you scroll then right away pops up again Oh yeah if you scroll but if its just a video that you watch Yeah thats true

1:15:02 Anyway, we'll play the second clip and then... The second clip hasn't got no gimmicks in it. No gimmicks! It's gimmick free. Do we know if this technology- Except for Scott Simon which is gimmicked by itself. Do do we know if this technology can be used to identify essentially everybody? U.S. citizens Well, a group of Democratic senators has been trying to get answers to that question and others about this app since September but haven't gotten them from ICE. They've called on ICE to stop using this technology and reiterated that demand on Monday my colleague Martin Costi spoke to Democratic Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey This type of On-Demand Surveillance is harrowing And it should put all of us on guard It chills speech, erodes privacy ultimately

1:15:49 undermines our democracy. He expressed concern that this tool could be used against people who criticize the government or protesters. What safeguards exist to try to ensure that these technologies are not abused? Well, I asked that to ICE and DHS and we didn't hear back. I also spoke with legal and privacy experts who told me that our current legal and regulatory framework just isn't robust enough to ensure that these kinds of new tools are used with the appropriate oversight and accountability that's really needed Emily Tucker is with Georgetown Law School's Center on Privacy and Technology. Immigration powers are being used to justify mass surveillance of everybody, and she says it's a mistake to think this doesn't affect every one of us. OK so my opinion remains the same and yes I'm okay with tools for immigration but here's the problem... This needs to be very clear who can use this under what circumstances

1:16:46 Just so if you're pulled over then showing your driver's license, which you don't even have to hand off I don't think technically. You can just hold it against the glass But you can also try doing that in Texas It will work in Texas. It will work in Texas just give them your license what there is a make Yeah, listen. You have less road ahead of you than you have behind you but there's a lot of young people I don't want them living in a society where cops just come up to and just scan your face to see who you are. I don't want that! I don't Now what the problem with the immigration enforcement right now is our sleepy little town of Fredericksburg

1:17:29 20 minutes, 15 minutes up the road we have Boot Ranch. Boot Ranch! You should look it up, Boot Ranch. Horror house? No, Boot Ranch is a gated community I don't know how many houses...a lot of houses you cannot buy a house there for under two million dollars most of them are three to seven million dollars it's crazy they got private golf course and everything that's fine what as the perfect but they have maid service And this is how I know about it, because the maids stopped showing up. You know why? Because ICE came into Fredericksburg and they're not looking for criminals. They're just looking for numbers like we got to have numbers we have quotas we gotta arrest people and yeah guess what a lot of the maids who've been here maybe 20 years they've been arrested and deported

1:18:21 So they're not just kicking out criminals. No, they weren't technically arrested? No! What do you mean? They were taken into custody Yeah but that's different than being arrested Oh be a dick about it You know what I mean though... No i'm not being a dick about them Just trying to... your words matter Your the one who says that all of time So they have been deported And yes they were here illegally But this is no longer just looking for criminals There are ICE patrols I understand why people get freaked out about this, particularly in Boot Ranch because who's going to clean their homes? This is a real problem. Poor people! Yeah but you know it's gotten a little bit beyond we're kicking out criminals they're just doing quotas now Chicago...I don't know but when you're in Fredericksburg trolling for cleaners which yeah you're gonna find a lot of that and yes they should be replaced by American citizens

1:19:23 But, you know when you're just walking around and face scanning everybody it's... I don't like it. Well you should be like this woman then which is the talk anti-constitution Zed gen zetter Alright, here's my hot take of today. I don't think that a society governed by a document that was written in the 1700s by a bunch of drunk white guys in their 20s who couldn't even conceive of the existence of majority of United States America should be used to this day and I do not think we are going have successful society until get rid of thing and restart because founding fathers could not conceived of my existence

1:20:03 they just could not have. They couldn't conceive of it, their brains would've exploded So how could that document possibly serve me? How could it? We need a new one we need to restart we need to start over this one's trash! We need to revamp it and get the new one Well going from what I said to what she says and saying I should be like her is rude and just uncalled for Psychological. It's okay because I'm not a baby like you and whine about it, I just tell you straight up... And by the way... I'll just tell you straight-up. ...and by the way they, the founding fathers were aware of people like her yeah they were called witches! I was right there with ya but this but all of this facial recognition and digital identity that

1:20:53 This is really happening, although in France they're kind of downplaying it right now because there was a bit of a fracas. I got an Euronews debunk report! Although sounds like it could kind of happen anyway... A claim is circulating online that France is entering an era of total traceability amid allegations that the country's digital ID will be directly tied to personal social media accounts This post on X says that the measure would, on paper, allow authorities to fight against the bad guys but that unofficially it would be one more step towards a society where words and opinions are policed. It attaches a video of Paul Mehdi, a member of the French parliament and of

1:20:03 they just could not have. They couldn't conceive of it, their brains would've exploded So how could that document possibly serve me? How could it? We need a new one we need to restart we need to start over this one's trash! We need to revamp it and get the new one Well going from what I said to what she says and saying I should be like her is rude and just uncalled for Psychological.

I'll just tell you straight-up. ...and by the way they, the founding fathers were aware of people like her yeah they were called witches! I was right there with ya but this but all of this facial recognition and digital identity that

1:20:53 This is really happening, although in France they're kind of downplaying it right now because there was a bit of a fracas. I got an Euronews debunk report! Although sounds like it could kind of happen anyway... A claim is circulating online that France is entering an era of total traceability amid allegations that the country's digital ID will be directly tied to personal social media accounts This post on X says that the measure would, on paper, allow authorities to fight against the bad guys but that unofficially it would be one more step towards a society where words and opinions are policed. It attaches a video of Paul Mehdi, a member of the French parliament and of

1:21:34 President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance Party, giving an interview in which he says that the measure would prevent complete anonymity online to help tackle impunity for online harassment and other illegality. However the caption is wrong while French MPs did consider linking the digital ID to citizen social media these proposals were rejected and the country is not currently poised to introduce the measure. The idea first emerged in 2023 as part of the discussion on a law aimed at securing and regulating the digital space, or SREN law At that time, Midy and others tabled an amendment that would have required certification by state-approved third parties such as Digital ID when creating new accounts on social media

1:22:17 The video of Mehdi attached to the social media post is from an interview with French radio station RTL. It's around the time that politicians were discussing the proposed amendment, so it's not new. Ultimately, the amendment faced fierce opposition and was withdrawn... ...and the final law came into force in May 2024 without the measure linking digital IDs with social media accounts As things stand, the digital ID can be used to verify someone's age when creating a social media account for example. But you're not required to do so and the digital ID is not automatically linked to your social media accounts." Yeah I give them one year before that's required in Europe One year max That is definitely happening because they have the digital ID Everybody has got digital ID in Europe In the BritCard

1:23:09 It's going to be tied to it. I wish, now I'm irked that i didn't get this clip of this French woman who was floating around attractive lady floating around telling people too with some guy got arrested in France for posted just getting like England posting pictures of a bunch of migrants just hanging around you know the bakery and you know harassing ladies and uh got thrown in jail this guy for posting it So she came out with a video saying we got to start posting this stuff because it's bullcrap and what's going on mm-hmm, but? Digital ID and facial recognition out of the blue is different. Yeah It's different But it's all going to be tied together Palantir man Don't you know don't you know palantir palantirs gonna do us a pallet dresser Elon Musk or a pound chair Peter Thiel they're all gonna kill us And they might they just might

1:24:05 Hackers will save the day. Okay, meanwhile oh boy we've got another drone scaring people in Brussels They're showing video, literally a drone with red blinking lights saying I'm a drone. I'm a drone! Brussels Zaventem airport is still feeling the aftershock of Tuesday's drone sightings which forced the city's main airport to close and left dozens of flights grounded The country's defense minister told local media that the incident appeared to be carried out by professionals

1:24:43 Professionals. That's how it is! Professionals, I mean... I don't understand A drone- someone flies a drone with the red flashing light It's not- it's not a Reaper Dough Drone It's just a drone Flying around the airport, which should of course be completely illegal. Some jokers and some teenagers! Yeah but the payoff is in the report. Intent on destabilizing the country all departing and arriving flights were temporarily suspended forcing hundreds of passengers to spend a night at the airport That of course is Russia.

1:25:42 Of course, it's Russia. Oh please... But this is no longer drones. This is a red flashing light that's why Yes but its no longer drones It's hybrid This is what we call this This is hybrid! Its hybrid and when you're talking hybrid There is no one better but Mark Rutter to come in and tell you about the hybrid. Well, you know when it comes to hybrids... And the word is a bit strange. It's a very strange word because on the hybrid we have seen assassination attempts. What? Assassination attempts at John! Have you seen an assassination attempt in a hybrid?!

1:26:18 Who was, except for Trump and Charlie Kirk was not an attempt. It's a real one In some countries the jamming of commercial airplanes What? Jamming of commercial... which planes were jammed? Which ones? Oh Ursulas! Okay Which could pose great risks of course commercial aviation. We assume an attack on the NHS in United Kingdom. What? Attack on the NHS in United Kingdom I don't have the report do you know it can ask a question yes how we have people that can hit a target at oh I don't know 600 yards with a scope and

1:27:01 laser spotting gear. Why can't we just shoot these? Why don't we have just one sharpshooter at the airport, these things aren't that high up they're not a 30 000 feet You are missing the point man! And just shoot them drone I don't understand why these day let these drones fly around We might need to make people scared Don't you understand is to make the people scared so I don't like the word hybrid. I do Okay, it is it is the It is the accepted language and it is diverse We're just gonna eat the bird is diverse we use the hybrid clearly This is something where within NATO and our allies we are working extremely actively to make sure that oh yes, we're on the case

1:27:48 people, NATO is good. Get your money ready get your tax money ready it's all good We counter whatever is necessary I mean you take for example the situation at Christmas time last year when the undersea sea kale was cut between Estonia and Finland We immediately launched Baltic Sentry and that was launched to make sure that we would be able to use the latest technologies etc. To counter what happened there so sometimes it is big what we do, sometimes is smaller, sometimes you cannot see it. Sometimes it's invisible what we do with your money! It's complete don't worry, it's good what we're doing with your tax money...it's invisible

1:28:32 But we are working very hard collectively to make sure that we defend against any threat including hybrid threats. And Russia, and Russia... It's always about Russia! Oh man these guys... So Orban was at the White House the president of Hungary and this was really interesting Because I'm confused now. What power does the president have? Because Hungary is a part of the EU, no? Yes they're part of the EU They are an EU country And NATO too

1:29:10 So, but somehow the President of the United States has jurisdiction over their use of Russian oil. I'm a little confused about this." It was smiles and compliments as US president Trump welcomed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Meeting in Washington, the two men discussed economic cooperation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine And just weeks after imposing what Trump called tremendous sanctions on Russian oil and gas, the US president has given Hungary a one-year exemption. Orbán who's a longtime Trump ally and critic of Western support for Ukraine made his case and welcomed the decision It is not possible to secure Hungary's energy supply and provide affordable energy to Hungarian families and businesses if sanctions continue to be imposed on two key pipelines We looked at this issue and we asked the President

1:29:58 We asked for two pipelines to be exempted from all sanctions. International monetary fund figures show Hungary relied on Russia for 74% of its gas and 86 percent of its oil in 2024 it warned that an EU-wide cutoff of Russian natural gas alone could forced output losses in Hungary exceeding 4% of GDP. Trump agreed that Hungary needed reprieve from the sanctions because of its landlocked position, he also accused other European countries buying Russian oil and gas for years. problem but when you look at what's happened with Europe many of those countries they don't have those problems and they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia. And as they know I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them." Shortly before Friday's exemption announcement Ukraine's President Zelensky said they cannot let Russia profit from energy, and said they would find a way to ensure no Russian oil was in Europe. How does the president United States get too exempt

1:31:01 Hungary from taking Russian energy through the pipelines? Is that our pipeline? It's our sanctions. Well, no but Europe has sanctions! We don't have sanctions on Europe other than we'll put tariffs on you is it an exemption from our tariffs on what Hungarian salami... What do we get from Hungary? I'm just curious, what do we get from Hungary? Yeah thats a good question There's got to be something from Hungary. They probably get something from him, you know? It's just that we're running the show I don't know... You know this is not a shock to you! Oh it was just...I was just curious. Maybe the Israelis told us to do this. Yeah hey Scott Besant was on with George Stephanopoulos this morning and i thought it was kind of a fun exchange

1:31:56 Because Scott Besson, he can get in people's faces. Have you noticed this? He does it with his own style. He is a stylizer or stylist. He does it very calm... He's a stylist! She's a stylist in more ways than one and he's quite calm and he's sharp-witted Yeah, I think...I like Rubio's style the best. Yes! But Rubio wasn't on The Morning Shows. No, Rubio has been out of the picture for a while for some reason And for sure he is going to...oh well while you're talking about that...uhm...Rubio...the stands are back in the picture. The stands! The stands? The stands yeah the stands

1:32:48 Stans? Yeah, the stans. Kazakhstan, Tajikistan... Oh those stans! The stands and this is a great little clip. Several issues were on the table at the summit between US and several Central Asian heads of state among them rare earth minerals, the sale of Boeing airplanes and the Abraham Accords U.S President Donald Trump announced soon after that Kazakhstan, the largest country in the region would join them This evening I'm also delighted to report that Kazakhstan has officially agreed. What country, Mr President? Kazakhstan! Dude you heard me. Kazakhstan is joining in. Delighted to report that

1:33:30 Kazakhstan has officially agreed, and that's official now as of about 15 minutes ago. A tremendous country with a tremendous leader has officially joined the Abraham Accords." At first glance the move seems hollow. Kazakhstan has had diplomatic relations with Israel for decades —a contrast to countries such as Morocco and Bahrain that only opened them up as part of the accords. For his part The president said that before the summit, such cooperation would yield economic dividends. After the meeting he expressed his willingness to maintain strong relations with Washington. It could also be that Central Asian countries in the meeting

1:34:21 Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan in addition to their abundance of rare earth minerals are sandwiched in between Russia and China. And the US is vying for favor over its adversaries U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced visits to those countries in 2026. Rubios going to the stands! Oh he should go to the newest stand What's the newest stan? New York-a stand I had boots on the ground report from WABC, I think. Yes ABC New York this is the voters boots on the ground in Astoria Queens This is Mum Donnie's home turf It looked like a new year's eve party but this was an election night celebration

1:35:18 This is Citizen App video of overjoyed Zoran Mamdani supporters who filled 24th Avenue in Astoria last night to mark the historic results of a groundbreaking victory. Young voters energized by the campaign promises of a 34-year old Muslim state assemblyman born in Uganda hit the streets to mark the dawn of a new era. That's great, we've got to remember that rundown hold on let me hear it again Young voters energized by the campaign promises of a 34 year old Muslim state assemblyman born in Uganda hit the streets to mark the dawn of a new era New Era! In New York City politics I think that its really amazing that we have like A nose ring

1:36:03 a movement that everyone was excited about, that was able to prevail over something we were all really worried about. Mamdani supporters crowded the Bohemian Hall and Beer Garden to watch the election night returns, returns that quickly confirmed what pre-election polls revealed time and time again – A sizable lead for the frontrunner who saw winning projections about an hour after the polls closed In Momdani's home district this morning, the excitement and energy of last night's epic win looms large. Astoria resident Hannah Lieberman is also a small business owner.

1:36:41 bought by anyone. I think like those kinds of grassroots campaigns are so inspiring and what we need, I mean, I think the big thing is having better access to housing expanding ability, the availability of housing in some of the rent control that they can pursue affordability Mr President's affordability that's what did it? So We got a note from one of our more famous executive producers Oh that one. In the business, Brunetti Yeah oh that guy yes So a subject Mira Nair, N-A-I-R Mira Nair Mira Nair? Mira Nair? Yeah yeah you know who she is No She is the famous Hollywood director whose Brunetti's whose Mandami's mom

1:37:35 And he writes this note, haven't heard much in the press about her or mention of her on the show. Okay? No we I noticed that too She's a sought-after director after monsoon wedding Don't know what the angle is but there seems to be something here considering it's not getting much if any play Hmm if anything maybe that's why Mondami is good with his tik-tok videos question mark not saying she has anything to do with making them But maybe Just odd that she hasn't been mentioned. Just odd more hasn't been made of her being his mom or the lack of attention to it, especially everyone seems to love everything Hollywood. Now so I went back and looked at these videos, the really good ones like Valentine's Day one and when he was on the street two things I noticed. One he uses a Hollywood movie style microphone. He doesn't use a normal microphone this is equipment gear from

1:38:37 You know, they're extended. They're like a shotgun mic. People hold them underneath the actor and they point... Wait a minute! What you are saying is he's not using a DJI mic with a big fuzzy thing on it? He's not using a DJI mic. He's not using any normal mic that you would use if you were doing man-on-the-street stuff It's a Hollywood movie mic that nobody uses so its gear He's doing and if you watch his videos there are three and four camera shoots. They're beautifully edited. Yeah, yeah Overlays and all kinds of fade ins, fade outs. It's slick it looks like the old TV show Homicide Life on the Streets that shaky cam comes and goes and there is a shot of him talking to somebody with the camera crew what part of the camera crew behind him you see two people next to each other one guy with extremely high end gear and another woman right next to them filming with a iPhone

1:39:38 next to each other so you can intersperse their slick look with it with the shaky cam look or with the iPhone look. It, and you go back and look at these and think of them as being produced by Hollywood? You go oh yeah duh! Yeah And So this was rigged This was People were scammed Scammed That's not rigged that's great smart Oh it is great I mean if you look back on it as professionally done They're slick, but it's a scam. People have gotten taken to the cleaners in New York by this guy and his mom. She has been... Hold on a second! You mean Hollywood-style production has convinced people of something? Has tricked people? You don't say?! I know. I was stunned. Stunned! Shocked! Shocked, I tell you. Clearly Brunetti should have been producing Andrew Cuomo videos What a misser

1:40:35 Cuomo did have some videos that came out at the end, they were all done by AI. His AI videos? Yeah they were pretty funny his AI video They were very funny but it was a little too little to late But Cuomo has no personality and what the first lady said...the first nose ring said is exactly what went down. Well, at least there's someone we could get behind he's our age he's you know not really something something rent-free okay whatever yes something something free something something something free fast buses yeah something free and he's young he's attractive has got cool videos and then they've got the sex accused of sexual abuse creepy creepy old guy

1:41:18 That's what it was. There were just no candidates, no candidates. Well they had plenty of opportunities to bring up candidates that Republicans gave up on the city well and you can't blame them and then the Democrats had a bunch of stiffs yeah Yeah, so this kid comes in with his professionally produced videos. But even Sleeva... I mean man the amount of archive footage but it's still it's not what people want don't wanna see guys coming in kicking ass cleaning up the subways no they want free that's just that's then that's what these Millennials want free

1:41:58 I can't afford to live here. Have you considered booming somewhere else? No, I want to live in New York! I want to live here. We've got bodegas. I don't want you to pay for it. We've got bodegas yeah. Oh I am telling you i'm very much looking forward to the day when daughter number three says ah I'm a little short this month. I'm like call your boy at city hall mom Dami call him Yeah she voted for him She definitely did Yeah, she was. But who else you gonna vote for? She was sending us memes I love her dearly and we can have our disagreements that's what i love so much about her she doesn't go all nuclear you know she just grown up in that regard it was a meme it was like a pride flag with shaped like a gun pointing at someone's head...I think it was maybe even a Trump head let me see

1:42:55 So it was an arm, I should send this to you for the newsletter. It was an arm with a gun pointed at a black silhouetted head not looking like anybody that had really who's bent forward so the guns at the back of the head and its pride colors and says now put the pronouns back in email! And this is exactly what they care about Yeah, I had a... oh man. I didn't get that clip another one I passed on of some TikToker going nuts about how great it is that woke is back None of you saw that one. No, no I didn't hit my news feed Yeah yeah all right let's go to Besant because Besson's a grown-up and he's funny and he's sparring with Stephanopoulos And throwing stuff in his face it was cute. And we're joined now by the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson Mr. Besson thank you for joining us this morning We've just heard about... Before you play this hold on

1:43:51 You know, I'm surprised that Stephanopoulos is a little more humorful and quick-witted and has funny material because you know he's married to a comedian? I did not know this. Who is she? He! Oh, I can't remember her name... Who IS HE?! I'm sorry. No it's just she. I messed up the punchline That would have been funny yeah you're right you blew it We can do it in post. So I can't remember her name but she used to be on a lot of stuff, she's mostly a skit comic. Her name is Allie Wentworth Yeah, Allie Wentworth

1:44:33 What did she's what is very like all female comedians. She must be tough at the dinner table in so far as you know having the one liner of the retort while she was thinking pick up something and she was on In Living Color which was a yes she was one of the actresses Wow, she did impressions of Cher Amy Fisher Hillary Clinton Princess Diana Brooke Shields Sharon Stone Huh? It's interesting as one of those Cute faces because but because she's a comedian every picture makes her look odd. You know she has to make a face Yeah, yeah They met on a blind date in 2001. Yeah, it's Mary Stephanopoulos She must have been blind

1:45:20 November. Yeah, there it is. You got one in! I'm back everybody. Finally Back to Besson and we're joined now by the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson Mr. Bessen Thank you for joining us this morning We've just heard about all these impacts from the government shutdown right now Are we starting to see he see a permanent impact on the economy? Sure George and good good to be with you And he's already got something ready. Good to be with you and it's possible that that tough at the dinner table that he and uh, what's her name? I forgot her name already. Wentworth. Wentworth. Allie Wentworth. They're like you gotta get this Besson! You got to get him good! Yeah i'll get you some one-liners but Besson came prepared we've seen an impact on the economy from day one but it is getting worse and worse We had a fantastic economy under President Trump the past two quarters And now there are estimates that

1:46:17 economic growth for this quarter could be cut by as much as half if the shutdown continues. And what your correspondent didn't talk about there, George was of course the human cost and we're going to have the busiest travel day of year after Thanksgiving and Americans should look to five Democratic senators come across aisle to open that But on the other side, there's also cargo is being slowed down. So we could end up with shortages whether it's in our supply chains or for the holidays. Cargo and people are both being slowed down here and that's for safety sake George." Okay so he kept his powder dry...

1:47:00 President continues to post about ending the filibuster is that is that the best way to end this shutdown right now? Is that what the administration position is no George the best with the best way to do it and look you were involved in a lot of these in The 90's and you know, you basically called the Republicans terrorist And you said that it is not the responsible party that keeps the government closed. Wow! Oh wait, it gets better and so what we need is five brave moderate Democratic senators to cross the aisle because right now it's 52-3

1:47:39 five Democrats can cross the aisle and reopen the government. That's the best way to do it, George. I can disagree with you about history there but we don't have a history lesson right now. Let's talk about what is happening right now. If you want all your questions here. I've got all your quotes here. I am sure you do. And let's talk about this situation. So you got one purchase on Amazon this week and that's very much what you said The best way is for five Democratic senators to come across the aisle. What are we on vote 13, 14 15? Mike Johnson got the reopening out of the house very quickly and what's changed since this spring George is Chuck Schumer poll numbers he had a clean continuing resolution in the spring and why are Democrats doing this now George again you've been involved with us

1:48:36 They you know explain what's what's changed, you know senator Chris Murphy gave the game away this week when he said well You know now it's our advantage to keep the government closed. They have turned the American people into pawns I feel that Besson just really running the tables on Stephanopoulos with this one, you know pulling up his books Saying is what you said when you called the Republicans terrorists Yes, Stephanopoulos is not very good at defending himself. He starts to... Yeah exactly! Stumbles he fumbles he stutters he tries to push back he doesn't take.. he never takes the guy on No no if he was any good he would say yes this in the past I have said that you're correct you can quote me if you want but do I see it now? It's different

1:49:28 And that's all you have to say. What I just said is all you have to say." And then the guy with the best report, because best and obvious he had this rehearsed, but the best he could say was well what's different about it? And then if Stephanopoulos was keeping up, he said there's a lot different about it. It's a different circumstance. They pulled the plug with a very... there's a pushback against the big beautiful bill which was something they didn't want and then he could start to bore him with bull crap and then Bessett would have to back off. Bessett could lose this but no, he knows that Stephanopoulos is lousy! All he had to say was I saw a bird today

1:50:11 And it would have been six. The president has also come forward with a new proposal overnight saying it's time instead to do away with Obamacare and said to have the money go directly to the people, Do you have a formal proposal? To do that we don't have a formal proposal but what I haven't noticed over time is that the Democrats give all these bills or well in names of Affordable Care Act inflation reduction act Patriot Acts Republicans And we end up with just the opposite. The Affordable Care Act has become unaffordable and the Inflation Reduction Act set off the greatest inflation in 50 years. He was well prepared for this. Well, I'm a little confused because the president posting about that overnight and into this morning but you're not proposing that to the Senate right now? We're not proposing it to the Senate right now, No

1:51:01 Then why is the president posting about it? Because he's trolling you, George. George, the President is posting about it but again we have got to get the government reopened before we do this We are not going to negotiate with terrorists, the Democrats until they reopen the government. It's very simple. Reopen the government then we can have a discussion by the way the word around town on the shutdown and when I say the word around town you know what i'm talking about yeah 90 days What? 90 days. Okay, so that's good news that means it won't be 90 days That's funny because the first thing I said oh well it'll be over next week then yeah that's the word around town that that's the whisper number unknown and and goes like this

1:51:55 Yeah, it's gonna be the Trumps gonna keep it shut down for 90 days so he can really find out what we really need to pay and get rid of all the other stuff we don't need to pay for. The problem of course with the 90-days theory is that thats way past Thanksgiving people even though they joke the comedians joke of the day all of them are using the same line Bill Maher even used it on his monologue which is that oh thank Thanksgiving, we're not going to be able to travel so he won't have to see our lousy relatives. This is good news not bad news." So that's the joke and the fact is that there are enough weak-kneed Democrats that are moderates that are gonna be worried and they're going to have to because they're gonna take it up to 20%. And like you said which has not been discussed

1:52:44 The fact is you can't just knock it down 10 or 20 percent without causing scheduling issues across the board making things terrible. Oh, it's gonna be horrible So you so demise will shut down the whole system and and by the way that shuts That shuts down cargo It shuts down Amazon. It shuts down everything hey and explain this to me just while we're on the topic So our UPS guy, I know all our people. I know our mail carrier, the UPS guy...I know them all because they're the same people." He drops off a package for Tina and he's got another guy with an orange vest on All he missed was a hard hat and clipboard like what is this going on? He rings the bell! They go hey how you doing UPS guy? He says good yeah just want to introduce you to this guy

1:53:36 For the holidays, we have a lot of civilians. That's funny he said civilians. He said civilians? Yeah well that means he won't have the full uniform but it'll have the vest on I saw the vest had it was an orange reflective vest and UPS on it And they'll just be in there so basically like a door dash guy It was an older gentleman actually he has his head bowed a little bit I was like hey! Hey civilian Hey, civilian. How you doing? I shook his hand and he said yeah just want you to know that if you see someone with a regular car driving up don't get freaked out. You have to say that in Texas because we come out guns blazing dogs loose. And it's interesting didn't they fire like 30 thousand people and now they're hiring civilians to jump in for the Christmas rush

1:54:26 I don't know what's going on. Okay, anyway final clip from Besant. Uh i'm skipping over everything and now we go to the The dividend everybody gets money Do you have a proposal formal proposal to give a two thousand dollar dividend every american? uh, I haven't spoken to the president about this yet but in You know, it could the $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms and lots of ways George. It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing on the president's agenda. No tax on tips no tax an overtime no tax on Social Security deductibility of auto loans so you know those are substantial deductions that are being financed in the tax bill I want to check

1:55:11 No, that's chicken. That's exactly what he said when he gave it away You're not getting a check that's what you're get yeah I want to check you getting the deduction on your on your that's your loan for your car good I want to check with President Trump's face on it and his signature happy smiling here you go citizen Here's $2,000 Promotion well that's what he should be doing You know, because we're taking in billions and trillions and gazillions of money. So anyway I sincerely hope because you're right a lot of our producers work in government And I have to say most of them are pretty upbeat still Because of course they are no agenda listeners and they were prepared

1:56:03 You know, they save some money because this is probably going to happen somewhere down the road. So they made sure they had contingency to run this when this happened. But it's hurting a lot of people, it's getting real now and boy by this coming Friday when we're up to 10% I think you're pretty much going to see passenger travel at a standstill. You know you did the right thing by not traveling Yeah yeah yeah We canceled our vacation And Tina's immediately like, oh we can do this. We can go here and go there I need a new MacBook. Like what? What? She does need a new MacBook Take a vacation...I got an idea Yeah Take a vacation in Dallas That's a Dallas is a great town! We actually have discussed that about going up to Dallas because Dallas has this new...oh now what was it called How far it drive to Dallas for you Five hours

1:57:07 About five. That's not that bad, it's like me going to Reno I'm trying to think the name of this they have this new thing called Cosm Cosm Dallas C-O-S-M dot com and You can well you can see sports games there It's kind of like a miniature sphere in Vegas only it's much smaller for couple hundred people And you can see they have a couple of movies that you can see and they have games. I think the Matrix is playing, they've got special version of it It's a complete immersive experience and with the game...I'm not as you know not a sports ball guy but man! They had you literally sitting

1:57:56 on the 50 yard line and then it switches and the whole thing swivels around, and then you're behind the goalposts. And I'm looking at it now. It's super cool! My buddy Vic told me about this. I'm like wow! You should go to this. I might go to it we might go spending... There's a couple great hotels in Dallas. You can spend the night Yeah, I could and there's some good restaurants in Dallas Yes that the only problem with Dallas in my opinion is the people that live there They're fun to watch they got high hair arrogant They think that Dallas is the greatest place in the world They wouldn't live anyplace else ever it would even consider it yeah their self-absorbed lot of pretty girls And they're all self absorbed and they're all Dallas girls

1:58:43 What I've always liked about Dallas, you go in the restaurant. It's much more...I mean we're white! We're a white town. You go to Dallas there's just all kinds of good looking people of all colors. You immediately realize wow we live in a really white town in Fredericksburg it's enjoyable and I got friends up there so maybe we'll do that? We might have boots on the ground from Dallas whoo! Yeah, yeah. Hey with that I want to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put President Trump's picture on the $2,000 check say hello to my friend on the other end Mr.. John In the morning was John Kirk in a more our ship see most of the graphene the air subs and the water dames and knights out there in the morning to the trolls in the true room stop

1:59:42 1930 still a little bit low, but we're crawling back. We had a lot of DNS issues and stuff for awhile there And I think a lot of people are oh just gonna give up it's gonna give up Yeah, yeah It happens Mimi's complained a couple times about right in the middle to show it goes through a different show and then comes back Well that's a network issue It's amazing any of this stuff works at all, man. I'm really... I know! I always say that when i say it she says you're right Yeah When you remind people of that You say, remember when you used to call me from a... Hey we're doing this over the internet. I'm in California he's in Texas and we don't have much latency if any. Almost none No not with the system were using and it works! It works do you remember? And we do it for three hours or plus actually more than three hours unfortunately but which is long Uninterrupted Yak yak yak

2:00:43 And and I know it is good i used to have a whole 19 inch rack filled with gear and wires and patch cables. And now its just one box got all in there the same names are you sad nineteen interacting amfax. You know? Amphex, you used to... Apex. I'm sorry. Aphex used to have the aph- Yeah that was a big bottom! Yeah, yes right! The apex big bot- I still have the Big Bottom 19 inch rack module. I have one of them in the closet We got Big Bottoms Yes, I had my Warsanis sound processor Uh huh, I mean all kinds of stuff we did and now it's amazing It's amazing! I remember

2:01:23 Back in what do you remember there Jim back in the mid 90s when I had we think no ideas my company We were going all over the country and I mean then but you didn't have zoom You know, you needed to pitch something To Budweiser and Heiser Busch. You went to st. Louis you got on a plane granted There was no TSA, you just walked to the gate. It was fine- You gotta go through that little metal- A couple of ladies standing there with wands. Let me wand you! Okay? You threw your keys in a little box and okay fine. Yep, yeah I wand you

2:02:00 And then you just walk to the gate, but you need to do pitch. You had the fly places and now we just Zoom baby just zoom you do a pitch on zoom is fantastic so this is when Christina was four or five years old and I got one of the first video telephones man. I wish I still had it And I don't even remember what it was, what brand it was. But it was a white phone that had a receiver. You pick up the receiver and push buttons to call and then had a little screen on it which would tilt up and then you'd connect to the phone on the other end and then you get like one frame per every three seconds like hey its dad now is just as now it's just FaceTime right from the palm of your hand

2:02:55 People don't realize. This is amazing! Now you want a song, you just say give me a song your phone gives you a song or You say hey make me some art now Strangely enough you still have to have some funny in you to tell the computer what to do But at least you can do it. Hey just give me some art and that's the world we live in Appreciate it. You know I was looking this is your bonus content I was looking at the cost of running my own AI model at home, because the biggest problem with as we discussed on the last episode is getting consistency. So if I wanted to clone my voice and have it consistently sound the same after some tweaking of the model and training

2:03:45 You can do that, but not when you're in a cloud type scenario where you might be hitting another machine or literally the temperature changes in the data center. I mean there's all kinds of variables that make it impossible for these cloud-based AI models to consistently deliver you the same results and you can type in the same prompt, you'll get something different every single time Yeah, you will. And now I've been watching a lot of these YouTubers and they've got huge Nvidia stacks They're doing comparisons with the top-end NVIDIA GPU and the Mac G... what is it? The M4 Super Pro

2:04:36 which has 512 gigs of RAM, which you can use for either CPU or GPU. And the results are very similar to what you get out of chat GPT or Grok. The cost 10-15 thousand dollars. That's actually not that bad I know but is it so is that what this is costing? Like to have Adam Vibecode at home, are they running like a $10,000 install for me? Yeah. No wonder they're going out... I mean well they're not going broke that's the joke of it! Because people keep shoveling money in yeah it's a Ponzi scheme It's amazing! It's a Ponzi scheme and you always work

2:05:25 Well, until they don't. Until they don't! Yeah well and I see there's a big discussion now about Sam Altman is basically saying we're too big to fail so you know if Nvidia...well Nvidia is okay but if chat...if open AI starts the stumble can't get money then maybe just go to the government say well you know Mr Trump and mr president this is uh you know this we're in a race against China The problem with that theory is simple Elon Musk Because Elon Musk has got Trump's here. Trump is gonna say, what do you think about these guys too big to fail? Elon Musk who has a feud with the Chad GPT guy is gonna say no!

2:06:06 Let him sink, who cares? Here's the bonus clip since we're talking about him. Love him or hate him Elon Musk boldly goes where others don't dare in space inserting himself into politics and social media with his takeover and rebrand of Twitter as X He has had just as many failures yet has had successes His latest success convincing 75% of Tesla shareholders to prove a record $1 trillion pay package. One million dollars is a big pile of cash, the equivalent of nearly a century of work for the average human. One billion is a hefty pile and the number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy one trillion dollars one with 12 zeros think of it as row upon row of bills filling a football field completely. The monster payout is contingent on Tesla's autonomous vehicles, robo-tac

2:05:25 Well, until they don't. Until they don't! Yeah well and I see there's a big discussion now about Sam Altman is basically saying we're too big to fail so you know if Nvidia...well Nvidia is okay but if chat...if open AI starts the stumble can't get money then maybe just go to the government say well you know Mr Trump and mr president this is uh you know this we're in a race against China The problem with that theory is simple Elon Musk Because Elon Musk has got Trump's here. Trump is gonna say, what do you think about these guys too big to fail? Elon Musk who has a feud with the Chad GPT guy is gonna say no!

2:06:06 Let him sink, who cares? Here's the bonus clip since we're talking about him. Love him or hate him Elon Musk boldly goes where others don't dare in space inserting himself into politics and social media with his takeover and rebrand of Twitter as X He has had just as many failures yet has had successes His latest success convincing 75% of Tesla shareholders to prove a record $1 trillion pay package. One million dollars is a big pile of cash, the equivalent of nearly a century of work for the average human. One billion is a hefty pile and the number of stars in our Milky Way galaxy one trillion dollars one with 12 zeros think of it as row upon row of bills filling a football field completely. The monster payout is contingent on Tesla's autonomous vehicles, robo-tac

2:06:59 taxis and humanoid robots all seeing incredible success. Profit needs to skyrocket along with Tesla stock, the fact that one in four shareholders wanted to go in another direction I think is telling there was no concern that Elon Musk might quit as CEO if he didn't get what he wanted an endorsement of Elon's ability to steer the EV maker even a sales and profit tumble It was a referendum on the very future of technology. A vote of confidence in Musk's vision for the future of robotics and AI, analysts say this record compensation sets a precedent pushing other tech CEOs to ask for more. The deal was so controversial that even the Pope weighed in voicing concern about rising income inequality at a time when many warned the AI bubble could come crashing down

2:07:47 Yeah. What a publicity stunt! That's great He is not getting a nickel and this guy, by the way if you hear the word there are two words I always look at as code Telling, oh it's telling. It's telling. It's code for your left winger. Chilling is another one if you see that anyone using there what's chilling? Oh they know that what he did was chillin'. That left-wing code these are communists. You know increasingly good Texas boys good friends of mine who drive trucks trucks like

2:08:30 A periodontist, a dentist. These are good friends of mine born and raised in El Paso one here in Fredericksburg six-generation Fredericksburg German he lives on the compound with the family 400 acre ranch buying Teslas all right and they're kind of like oh yeah I know I bought a Tesla I'm like what Are you a communist? What are you doing?" He said, he said, You're buying battery cars. And I say yeah, I gotta admit...I just really like being able to drink that extra beer and have the car drive me home These things are outrageous They do indeed drive you complete self-drive No hands on the wheel no touching it every 30 seconds They drive you all the way home It's..it is compelling

2:09:27 I have to say. I got Robert. When his garage blows up, you'll know the reason why. I'm just amazed! Well Elon Musk is now saying that the next Tesla might fly... If he builds a car that flies, I mean even if- Yeah okay, he said this about what you were referring to there as the Roadster 2 The Roadster 2 yes Which some people have already put their down payment on for 200 grand or whatever it is

2:10:12 And yes, he made that... This guy is a master of promotion. Oh yeah! And you know, he's seen as an industrialist and all these other things and he's smart He's not dumb guy But his real skill is in promotion and he does it like falling off a log. It's so easy for him, the trillion dollar deal and gets the Pope to say something... Give me a break! What has the Pope got to do with it? I would love the Pope to say what is up with this podcast that there are no agenda? This is... Please Pope please please I beg of you say that Yeah. No, he is the master! There's so many flying car scams out there and yeah sure they'll fly for 20 minutes

2:10:57 You can't go anywhere. Yeah, it has to be electric because it would compounded by the fact that he's electric only! So if the thing gets in the air I mean maybe you could fly over a traffic jam and land again and get back on the road... Maybe that? That would do it. And these Tesla guys said did you go to Dallas in your Tesla? Yeah I did How'd it go? It went great! I said did you have coffee Yeah, I love you know we had like you know 30 minutes of coffee break on oh because you were charging Brunetti drove his cyber truck to Hollywood. They must have stopped along the way

2:11:37 Yeah, he has a long story. He did it couple of times and apparently they have it set up the truck itself Sets you up so you can have these short stops along the way yeah The navigator tells you ten minutes here ten minutes there ten is there like like a douche? Get yourself, listen. Get Alex get yourself a Corvette you know maybe uh maybe get a 67 you know cool looking one actually the newest corvettes are the coolest looking ones the mid-engines are beautiful yeah that the mid engines they're beautiful but just gorgeous but i'm talking to a movie guy hollywood guy get yourself a 67 corvette red with that white panel on

2:12:23 on the side and have her put a... Well, you're thinking 57 with the white panel. I'm sorry, 57. You're right. Get a scarf for Alex, you know? Her head's in a scarf, the scarf is flying. You got your shades on James Dean baby! Right and then her scarf gets caught into wheels and she has her head pulled off. No no! A lot of publicity. Well that is true that would be good for his next movie Hollywood producer, wife killed in freak accident. Killed in the Corvette. In the Corvette but that's romantic driving that ugly box and stopping 10 minutes everywhere along the road? That is the antithesis of America my friend! That is not who we are You tell him I'm gonna tell him...I may have to take a vacation out to The Ranch

2:13:12 But you know, if I drove my buddies Tesla would take me three weeks. It takes three weeks to get there for sure. All right so back to the AI of course this is a value for value podcast and i do want to mention that uh...you probably want to try out one those modern podcast apps Podcast Gurus is my daily driver. I really love it just as one of them you can find at podcastapps.com And there's great strides being made. They're doing more with Value for Value now, Strides is called Strides. Hey, it's Strides. It's Value for Value you can boost us. You can boost right into the show and shows up through Stripe and you can leave a message even that should work we'll get the money maybe the message send us an email to make sure

2:14:01 And this is groovy, so get one of those. Don't buy a Tesla boost the show and Value for value V4V also known as vaccines for vegans but we say value for value That means whatever value you get out of the show, just send it back to us. You can do it with time talent or treasure now the talent we do have a lot of talented people in fact The artwork for episode 1814 Hold on second let me get my NA show notes calm we titled that needle drop

2:14:38 which a lot of people thought was very funny and that I explained for 20 minutes what that was. And, I think some people appreciated it because they didn't know what needle drop was or taping your spouse as a boundary violation who knows what taping is anymore? Yeah! That's true now by the way the needle drop thing came up at the dinner conversation and when you said it first thing that came up with like oh so silent you could hear a needle drop Oh, interesting. But that's pin. That's a pin drop. Yeah I realize it's a pin is what they're saying is but that's the first thing came to mind Really? They didn't think about a vinyl disc

2:15:19 Not immediately. Well, actually then they... Once I explained it they'd say oh yeah so we were taking this together It needed explaining! That's the point right there. It needs explaining So the artwork which is always very important noagenartgenerator.com where you can upload all of your AI slop came to us from Nessworks a real artist and this was an artist at work i don't know what tools he used but this giga chad with uh with the vinyl And then the C prompt, go to toe tapper. The way the robot giga Chad was positioned in front of the no agenda letters. This is high quality work here I don't think this was 100% A.I.. Do you know not at all? It may not be. In fact it maybe zero way that a could even come close to this one thing that thing at the top go to tow tap or this guy's never going to produce that and be misspelled

2:16:16 By the way, getmojams.com everybody it's up and running getmojams.com all your AI slop all the time 24-7 end of show mixes AI slop soon It will be the place to get your AI music so go to toe tapper was perfect that was the deal clincher right there Yeah. That was perfect and Nessworks, thank you! Thank you brother good job let me just see what else was there that we looked at? Generator... Let's take a quick little glance I like the piece next to it the slop thing from Coach Joe but it was not gonna be used because he couldn't read anything on it but I thought it was cute piece We didn't talk about it I use the dawn of a better day from Jeffrey Ray Which one for the newsletter with New York or with The Sunrise

2:17:05 The New York with the sunrise in the back. Yeah, yeah it was very orange of course it's Jeffrey Ray you know if you see orange you don't think Trump anymore It wasn't that bad didn't bother me so much Even the letters are orange they should be white I do like... Jeffrey also did the Tucker 2 and the letters are whites he has actually got a white in there somehow Look how washed out that thing is What? Tucker 2? Tucker 2! It's washed out Doesn't look washed out to me. That might be you. We obviously have to remind people that your colorblind. That's washed up, not washed out. You have to understand that's the email I get at least once a day. Oh! You washed up VJ? Luckily Mossad is paying the bills. You should say yes, I shower daily. Luckily Mossad is paying the bills we're all good

2:18:00 Yeah, we're not paying the bills. We're not good In fact man we got... Where's our intelligence money? We haven't seen that for a while No I don't know well they're all furloughed Oh yeah, they're probably all... Yeah that's the problem. That's the problem so keep trying everybody once again it still takes creative thought good ideas I don't care what tool you use good ideas result in good products and there were some No, there weren't a lot of good ideas. Honestly just a few now that this piece one hands down hands down so now we go to the treasure portion of our value for value model This is where we thank everybody $50 and above So very transparent can get more transparent than that And we tell you exactly who sent it to us and we have a special segment for those fortunate enough

2:19:04 to be able to send us $200 or more. In that case, we'll thank you of course!

I'm wondering if the same clips because he talks about the Durham report in these clips and he died this could be a reiteration of the would be alright let's do with them because it still I don't know you know i hate to play repetitive well let me just five years ago summarize this is where he was given

2:33:50 He was supposed to give Hillary a bribe. She actually took the money and then she went down the elevator And he went in the elevator, and then there's no elevator talking this well, and then the FBI says shh No, no, we're not talking about it It's over you got to forget this ever happened I think this is a repeat of the old story So I don't think we need to play it but again as five years older might be worth playing again to remind people But I'm going to say no okay Wow I'll go on your note But people can look it up. Just go to YouTube and, you know, Hilary Brey. I thought was a disgusting tale and sorry didn't remember let's go to Tariff Doom how about that for an idea? Tariff Doom? And since you like the way spell tariff I made sure to spell it even better It's been over seven months... AHHHHH! There is no SS

2:34:41 No, it's because the SS came earlier so you're not going to play that same jingle again. So I just reneged on the second SS It's been over seven months since President Trump enacted those sweeping duties on goods from nearly every country and one of the questions before the Supreme Court this week who is paying them? And Paris Juliana Kim joins us. Juliana, thanks for being with us! Happy to be here Have we seen retail prices change in the past seven months? So far prices have gone up you know for coffee clothing furniture things that are almost exclusively imported but

2:35:16 But interestingly, only about 20% of the tariff burden has actually made it to retail prices. That's according to Erika York, an analyst at the Tax Foundation — a group that advocates for simplifying the tax code. She told me companies probably had stockpiles of products before tariffs hit and also a lot of businesses held off changing prices while there was some uncertainty around tariff rates But that strategy is beginning to change and companies are starting to pass higher costs at the consumer. Economists say that's going to become more common in the months ahead. What could cost look like in the next year?

2:35:52 So, there's some different numbers floating around. The Tax Foundation estimates that if tariffs stay in place throughout next year a household could face an average burden of $1600 dollars I also asked this question to Kent Smetters the faculty director at the Penn Wharton Budget Model and he estimates that existing tariffs could tack on as much as 1% your average spending so if you spend fifty thousand dollars a year That's an extra five hundred dollars Keep in mind, prices are just one part of the story. You know, tariffs can also lead companies to slow hiring or cut wages which isn't good news for an already weakening job market. OK? This was a couple of things we're going to have to come to grips with these high tariffs and reestablishing American manufacturing is not going to save the consumer money

2:36:44 The Chinese can produce products and have them shipped over here cheaper than we're ever gonna be able to make the product, no matter how good we are. So I mean nobody wants to admit this and they're faulting Trump. It's more important they have the jobs over here and suffer a little bit so your birdhouse you bought at Joannes or wherever you got this thing is for $1 1⁄2 it's gonna cost ya 250 I mean, it's fine. But this idea that things are going to be cheaper when we're cutting off the supply of cheap junk is unlikely! Part two. Of course exit polls from Key Racers this week show that the cost of living and the economy are the biggest concerns for voters How do you think tariffs have played into that?

2:37:38 Tariffs have pushed prices higher, but for the most part the increases have been fairly modest. That being said many Americans are struggling with inflation fatigue I spoke to Michelle Florio a paraprofessional in New Jersey and she says she's held off buying a new car and a mattress because tariffs have made them too expensive And even her holiday plans are changing. I've been giving baked goods as gifts For 53 years and now I don't know But wait a minute. Baked goods? She makes baked goods as gifts but now she doesn't know I don't know maybe I can make it because of the tariffs what is the tariffs got to do this is the problem I'm having with the Democrats in this bullcrap they extended something like baked goods

2:38:26 Yeah, it's bad. Oh I'm making baked goods! I don't know if i can make the baked goods anymore because of tariffs! Oh flour is so expensive! It's made somewhere...I don't know where I'm getting it That's bullcrap. I've been watching the quad screen and i've been seeing this developing story and it is worth discussing for a moment. ...news to bring you about the BBC, the BBC chairman has announced that both the Director General Tim Davie and the new CEO Deborah Tennis are to resign let's bring you more on that story our cultural reporter Nour Nanji is with me here so tell us about the background of this and about there is resignation statements

2:39:07 Yeah, that's right. Really significant news has just come to us in the last few minutes so both the BBC's Director General Tim Davie but also Deborah Turness who is the CEO of News both resigning we've just had that as I say in the last few minutes Okay well that was a useless report but I know what this is about because I'm looking at all the news This is over the BBC Panorama episode where they edited Trump together to make it look like he was telling the January 6th protesters to go fight like hell and go storm the Capitol. Did you know anything about this story? No, I have no idea about this but that is scandalous! And so the director and CEO have resigned...I have a clip of the controversy actually had from

2:39:52 I think maybe two shows ago. Yeah, check it out Well it's the biggest story in town It turns out American President Donald Trump was on to something Where are you from? BBC Here is another beauty Impartial free and fair Sure Well that criticism of the BBC and John Sopel he was talking to there apparently Was well founded because a so called impartial and accurate public service broadcaster Is nothing but You are fake news. Sir, can you stay categorically that nobody... Because tonight the BBC is facing serious questions over its credibility after The Daily Telegraph exposed a panorama segment

2:40:39 that heavily doctored a speech by the American president in 2021, hours before the infamous January 6th Capitol riot. As you're about to hear the corporation spliced together two quotes one hour apart to make it seem like he encouraged an insurrection. They played the following clip. We're going to walk down to the capitol and I'll be there with you And we fight, we fight like hell But Trump didn't, in fact say this at all. The BBC spliced together two clips that took place 54 minutes apart so let's go through it again We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you Now see there between capital and and that's a cut here's what Trump actually said we're gonna walk down to the Capitol and we're gonna cheer on

2:41:43 are brave senators and congressmen and women. It's different, it wasn't until nearly an hour later that he then said the second part of the BBCs version We're going to walk down to the capital Now they're fast forwarding an hour And we fight like hell So that's the scandal! Wow! The North Sea Nexus under attack Look at what has happened We've got the prince stripped of his title, we've got the ambassador wrapped up in the Epstein affair gone. What's-his-face? Yep And now that the director and CEO of the BBC resigning over this... This is pretty big

2:42:36 That is big. Man, I'm glad we caught this on our show day thanks for doing that on a week's show day! This kind of dubious editing took place on Friday don't have clips uh...on the um... news hour because everybody's in a tizzy everybodys in a tizzy over the Tucker Carlson Nick Fuentes interview which we played a couple of the guy at The Heritage Foundation got into trouble and got kind of booted from, you know they're being accepted as a I don't know conservative operation. I don't know what the deal is. Did he get kicked out of the heritage? No there was...they asked him to resign but he wouldn't and all he said was i didn't you know but apparently said it out of the blue it wasn't so yeah i'm not even sure that's true

2:43:23 But he says, I think that Nick Fuentes doing Carlson is fine because they were just having a conversation that they both wanted to have. And the reason for the conversation initially according to Tucker was they were having an online beef with each other and so let's put it on the... Let's have the beef face-to-face like you and I do all the time. This is exactly the op that I was talking about. So the other side is now retaliating And this is the neocon side and they're retaliating against this guy who you said was too weak and would never be able to kick Lindsey Graham out. I'm not saying that that's not true, but that is exactly the response you would expect. They're going after that guy." And so then the latest thing is of...I think it was today or yesterday or yesterday probably yesterday day before Ben Shapiro shows up on CNN

2:44:15 on Jake Tapper's show to condemn Tucker. Wow, he's going into the enemy camp! Calling him a racist which is like you know what... Shapiro is sketchy we have to remember that he hated Trump it was again there I went through the whole thing in the last show but then the one that really got me though was on Friday on PBS NewsHour The woman there, Amina blah-blah whatever her name is who's got a not as good stage name because I can't remember her name. She did a whole thing an entire segment on Nick Fuentes!

2:44:52 And on Tucker, and she said here's some of the stuff he said. And they took clips from the Tucker show out of context completely out of context! Wow. Every one was out of context. The whole thing about his misogyny when they played the out-of-context clips that we had in context... We had ours were in context as usual and those were out of context so it would make him sound like an idiot and then they condemned Tucker. So there's all kinds of... And for Wenthes, does he have a publicist? This guy is getting more publicity than anybody I know! Well he's the perfect poster child for the moment It's perfect He's the perfect kid, it's perfect There is a lot of material A lot of very inflammatory material The podosphere is still buzzing

2:45:49 Still buzzing. Everyone's all abuzz, oh yeah... Go on each other's podcasts? But this idea of taking stuff out of context and rejiggering it to make your point is not acceptable. I would like someone to edit Adam and John out of context, and make a really funny bit. If you're a humorist, you could probably make it very amusing. Especially if you can take an hour How did the conversation drop some bomb in from the end like the BBC did? Yeah, wow. That's fantastic! I mean that's... you know who could be next? With all of this happening and by the way we don't really have much on it but of course we have Brennan supposedly getting subpoenaed and Lisa Page and her boyfriend whatever his name was

2:46:51 You know, people are going to go down. Well... Now I know you're skeptical but this Arctic frost is still hanging in there and of course we also have This was big news from the Blaze which is quite interesting One of his reporters did a gate analysis on the January 6th pipe bomber Have you been following this story? I've been trying to, they can't seem... you know the pipe bomber was a bop of some sort. Yes, a former Capitol Police cop who worked for the CIA

2:47:28 But I like that they did gate analysis. I don't know what a gate analysis is? Your gate, someone's gate how they walk their gate Oh the gate oh g-a-i-t Yes the gate analysis. Oh yeah you know if you could I could spot Biden a mile away so exactly So the first thing is I think i said right away that's a woman, that's a woman who is walking with that hoodie so wow! I got that one. But they have other video of her and they did some AI analysis And the AI gate analysis shows 94% match between January 6th pipe bomber and ex-capital police cop who works for CIA

2:48:07 I want to see a gait analysis on that daddy longlegs skipping over the lawn. Yeah, you're gonna go there? Skipping over the lawn to the helicopter! Give me a gait analysis- Wait, I don't even know what do... Do you need a gait analysis? I mean come on The guy's legs were five inches longer than Biden's He didn't have that back and forth kind of- I demand a gait analysis! I wanna get it in the- Grok! Grok give me a gait analysis This is fantastic. And this by the way, which brings me to another interesting point because I'm so interesting... There was a story if you remember about three weeks ago Biden who's supposedly dying of all kinds of you know he's like a wreck. He rang the bell! He's cancer-free

2:48:55 I didn't know that. He is? That's what they say. Oh brother, okay well whatever the case during his cancer moment supposedly he and Obama were at the same restaurant You remember this story? It was about... Yeah, yeah. Several months ago yes. Yeah and they were at the same restaurant and Obama never went to talk to him And it was like oh Obama's a jerk because he wouldn't eat the vice president his old buddy is there and He wouldn't even say hello and everyone monitored this and Biden was in the front outside i guess in the outdoor eating and he's eating with somebody The reason he never went and talked to him because it wasn't Biden. It was some other, it was Daddy Long Legs! It was the Daddy Long Legs guy What's he gonna talk to him about? I got nothing to say man...I gotta get back to my basketball game. I gotta pick up a game I gotta get too And you knew it so what was there no reason to talk to them So that's the explanation for this is not because by I mean Obama might be a jerk but I don't think that cuz he knows enough to do public stuff

2:49:59 Yeah. Wow, wow this there's that you know you're skeptical on Arctic Frost? Yes I agree with you No i'm not skeptical of Arctic Frost I am skeptical that they are going to take action that is going to be meaningful I think they are and it's not Congress who gives a crap about Congress! I'm talking about the Department of Justice You got AG Barbie Yes let me remind me who is head of the Department of Justice? Yeah, yeah. And what has she done so far? Hang in there! I have a feeling...I just feel on my water my water tells me something's coming. Your water?! Is this some new thing that you picked up from the five Bryans? It's a Dutchism no it's not it's not from Pastor Jimmy and the Five Bryants if you in Holland we say ik voel het aan mijn water. I feel it on my water. I don't know where comes from I have no idea it's a Dutchism

2:50:56 Should we look into the etymology of this? No, I don't think you need to but i think we should document some of these. It's a book! it's a giblet! There is a giblet in there somewhere... Alright Well wait go back if you feel in your water that somethings up We would say feeling our bones Right well the Dutch feel their water because they live underwater practically I dont know why they say that This is true Ik voele het aan mijn water I have this feeling And it could be Hopium, I'll be the first to admit. I have this feeling that they all pulled back on the Epstein stuff because that's the big bomb that's coming. I know it sounds crazy... No, no, Hopium…I'm not going to deny the possibility they're gonna but the Epstein thing is just going to be the release of the documents and in fact there was a report uh that they have one guy that supposed to be that oh this is ridiculous

2:51:56 This was on, I think it was PBS. They said oh they're worried that you know the Mike Johnson's not bringing Congress back... Oh because of Epstein? Because of the Epstein files because they got this one guy they're gonna have to you know he's gonna come in as a new Democrat and they're gonna change is going to add one more vote getting the Epstein files released. Well this guys coming in eventually! Yeah So that's bullcrap, but I think you're right. The Epstein files may be a blunt... It is coming. Yeah and I think they're gonna push it off as far as they can closest to the midterms. Of course that's when you want to do it by the way Void Zero correctly corrects me he says the term is actually full of them a Dave author but I think it's often shortened to water so I feel at MIT water

2:52:48 Ah. So that may be like... That makes it even more obscure What tea water? I don't know! I can't help you there. Void, what is that from man? Explain It's gotta be like reading the tea leaves My maybe Maybe something like that I do have a quick series of three clips to wind this up as This will enrage every you know what? I'm not gonna. I want to save these all say these go away What are they about that cancer oh, you don't do kids no it's like the Every stroke and cancer is blamed on alcohol It couldn't be anything else could be and it couldn't be in it was gonna Be one of those what

2:53:31 I have a couple of, I have a funny rant we can finish with. If you got something funny let's finish with something funny This is the, this is I think her name is Megan she's getting really famous online for she's a black Very blunt, there's a little cussing going on in this one for people.
