About this episode

House Democrats released a trove of Jeffrey Epstein estate emails suggesting Donald Trump acted as a wingman for the financier during the 1990s. The leaks, which include flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, have been dismissed by the White House as a selective narrative designed to influence future elections. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has reportedly suspended intelligence-sharing with the United States over lethal military strikes against Venezuelan drug vessels in the Caribbean.

Internal BBC memos revealed by The Daily Telegraph expose systemic bias and deceptive editing, including the intentional manipulation of footage from the January 6th Capitol riot. Former Prime Minister Liz Truss warns that the UK's permanent bureaucracy and the Bank of England have usurped power from elected officials to enforce Net Zero mandates. In the United States, Representative Austin Smith flagged a government funding clause allowing Senators to sue for $500,000 if their phone records were subpoenaed. Additionally, Apollo Global Management head Mark Rowan has acquired The Telegraph, signaling a shift in the North Sea Nexus media landscape.

The newsletter but it say. What's the point of the lid well If you close the lid it doesn't work. Right, but what's the point of it? Well if you look inside... Is to keep rats out going in or what is the point? I have wondered this myself and if you bring it up and if you look inside there's a very sensitive film

02:26 Oh, right. Okay I forgot about this email yes I got an email sent it to Adam I got this e-mail that was obviously done... These guys should be ashamed of themselves Especially Stone McGee Stone McGee in particular and yes I would hope to yes thank you Thank you for bringing that email up This is the kind of email we get or i got this one both of us get these though from guys who are sales guys that really don't know how to sell because they can't even write a note. This is not even written by them, this is written by some AI and this shows you why it fails. Please read this list. And by the way I think Stone McGee is a great DJ name there's nothing wrong with that. Stone McGee in the morning! In the morning everybody Stone McGee with ya

03:17 Hi, NoAgendaRings. We have noagenderrings.com so this is where it was... Somebody scraped the internet and found this web address I wanted to share the result of my 60-day comparative analysis of NO Agenda Show It appears that noagendashow.net and noagendashop.com are receiving better online clicks! The good news? Enhancing strategies around keywords like No Agenda Podcast, Knighthood Rings Sir Dame status rings my favorite I like a sir. Dame status ring and unique podcast merchandise along with effective technical modifications Will allow no agenda rings calm to improve engagement with podcasts enthusiasts Well when I heard that when I heard that we could improve engagement with podcasts enthusiasts, I was very turned on

04:15 Interested in discussing this further? Regards, Stone McGee. So I just wondered how many people out there are a podcast enthusiast who are listening to us? Probably a few. I'm sure there are quite a few podcast enthusiasts yes it's amazing! Yes that is the kind of pathetic pitch as a pitch that floats around and I don't know that it's like, it's a negative. If you get a pitch from a guy like this you would never do business with him because this is just a moment of incompetence and still I wager that he still gets people yeah! Yeah that's great stuff. High stone. You know under the...I suppose if he sent out 1 million emails to every web address that you have scraped

05:06 Yeah, there's got to be one that would fit the criteria perfectly for that So in other words as it pulled out information. It would pull out exactly the right information And and sound like a real pitch well And maybe there could be 10 or 20 or 30 of them I have yet to see one I haven't seen one either But you know I did get a note from Justin from OP way He was on a flight and he was catching up on no agenda. He's like, holy mackerel you guys called me out like three times! He says yes! Noagendaboots.com, noagendasneakers.com and noagendashoes.com will soon be on the air for our value tainment footwear. Value tainment clone. He says shall I send the contract so? I said no

05:54 No, if you can just put podcast no agenda on the soles of these shoes or stitch in some itm 33s. Just send a donation from time to time will be fine. That's our basic system that is the value tennis works. So we're not changing nothing although I wonder how not signing anything else when I was signing it How are they? I wonder how the kids at know agendashop.com are doing haven't heard for an hour need a boost Noagendashop.com for all your no agenda shop slop, it's all there everybody I think they may have burned out The whole we've noticed this of course and we've been doing this long enough

06:33 that you... because we did t-shirts too at the very beginning. We did? Yeah, yeah we had to know it. Oh Eric tried to make money off of it. Yeah he was getting a donation or something and stuff like that He lost his shirt so to speak. Yeah It's a loser and people who do merch MERCH! they lose their asses eventually. Sometimes you'll get a little boost at the beginning, but it's not sustainable because it's like you have a set number of in our case producers and they grab a few things now and again at the beginning when they're enthusiastic and then after awhile they stop buying so you can't get repeat customers. Now then your stuck with a whole pile of T-shirts

07:17 Yeah, which you can't even give away to anybody else because they don't know what the hell you're talking about. What is this Gitmo Nation thing? I want this. Bring them to goodwill! So we do it this way... It's actually quite difficult. We have one premium feature which is the knight in the dame ring And we got a note from... We also have the other minor, the come and go features which is for example currently we have the Peace Prize. Yeah but that's very exclusive limited supply. Then we have the Rub-A-Lizer which I gotta do quick update on the Rub-a-Lizer Oh for the challenge coin?

08:01 Yeah, Paul Couture just sent me a mock-up of one side of the challenge coin. He is the best at this he did the original challenge coin for us and he does the website that we use noagendaart.com No, noagendaartgenerator.com Okay, so it's only been there for 15 years Yeah what am I gonna do? I can't... you know, noagendaartgenerator.com So it's very convenient to type all that in Once you do it, it auto-completes Don't worry once you get it right So he did the original art and he is just an incredibly talented artist

08:44 And he's, this thing will be done probably within the next 30 days. Then we got to have it produced which Jay will do. Yeah I was looking at my Challenge coin collection and we've done quite a number of challenge coins. One of my favorites is the 2012 Geocache coin, remember that one? I have a collection too. It doesn't come to mind. These things will be around long after we're gone. That's what I like. Yeah yeah that's for sure and at some point like 100 years from now people somebody will discover them

09:22 And it'll be on Antiques Roadshow. Yes, and we found one of these! These are very collectible and the market's been going up What is a challenge coin where I've got two of them? They're worth $7000 each Wow Oh my dad was right! The Antique Roadshow Yeah Well, I did see your series of chemo clips come in. Just for form's sake, we should probably do the Epstein stuff because that is oh my lord is just so amazing. Trump has mentioned he's with bikini clad girls as all...Epstein! Tonight in newly released email sex offender Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly discussing Donald Trump shedding new light on their long friendship and seeming to suggest Trump had information he never shared

CHAPTER 02 / 34 Discussion

Jeffrey Epstein Estate Emails and Donald Trump Relationship

House Democrats released a new batch of emails from the Jeffrey Epstein estate, suggesting a closer relationship between Epstein and Donald Trump than previously acknowledged. Media outlets including the BBC, France 24, and CNN report on claims that Trump was Epstein's "wingman" and highlight flight logs showing Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet in the 1990s. The White House dismissed the leaks as a selective narrative intended to smear the President ahead of future elections.

jeffrey epstein· donald trump· ghislaine maxwell· house oversight committee· michael wolff· mar-a-lago· cnn

10:18 the Wow, bombshell. Maxwell replying I have been thinking about that the emails obtained from the Epstein estate were released by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee tonight house Republicans and the White House say the victim mentioned was Virginia Joufray who once worked at Trump's spa Mar-a-Lago she had said she never saw Trump do anything inappropriate She died by suicide earlier this year

11:04 Trump and Epstein were friends for more than a decade. Have you socialized with him? Yes, sir. Yes? Yes, sir. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? Females! No, I better invoke something here. Though i'd like to answer that question at least today, I'm going to have to assert my fifth sixth and fourteenth amendment rights. Trump insists he broke off the friendship when he learned Epstein and Maxwell were luring away women and teenage girls who worked at Mar-a-Lago Stole people that work for me. I said don't ever do that again He did it again And I threw him out of the place persona non grata I threw him out

11:53 And that was it. I thought the most interesting of the Epstein emails was Michael Wolff, who you know this hoity-toity journalist he was basically an image consultant for Epstein Well yeah You know if you do this and then it'll look like that in the media...I mean that guy's creepy He basically Working for Epstein? Yeah, as a PR consultant. Let's go around the world and see what the BBC has to say. Shortly before we came in the studio to record this podcast Democrats in the US House of Representatives released emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that referenced President Trump

12:37 They say the emails raised serious questions about how much Mr Trump knew about the late financier's behaviour. Mr Trump has consistently said he knew nothing of Epstein activities and didn't engage in any wrongdoing himself. Now, the White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt has responded by saying that Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump. Okay, let's check out France 24 then shall we? The damning new batch of emails which threatened to raise questions about US president Donald Trump's relationship with... Wait stop! Stop! Their phrase

13:16 They threaten. Yes, they threatened to raise questions. To raise questions? Mm-hmm! No wait a minute why don't they just raise questions what do they have the threatened to doing it well why don't you just raise the questions as opposed to threatened to I'm threatening that that i'm gonna ask you a question and what kind of thinking is this even more ludicrous because if I understood the report correctly its the emails raised the quest threatening questions the emails So this non-entity is threatening to raise questions. Listen... A damning new batch of emails which threatened to raise questions about US President Donald Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and whether or not he knew about the sex offenders crimes The three emails were released by U.S Democrats on the House Oversight Committee

14:07 In one exchange between Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein alleges an unnamed victim spent hours at his house with Trump. And in another exchange this time between Epstein and author Michael Wolff, Epstein says of course Trump knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop Donald Trump has consistently denied that he had any knowledge of Epsteins sex trafficking activities The White House responded by accusing Democrats of smearing President Trump But the emails could heap pressure on the White House to publish the files. Democrats in the house are now a step closer to forcing the publication, with the swearing-in of a Democrat as representative for Arizona's 7th congressional district. Do you notice by the way that the France 24 report is also done by a Brit? I find that just interesting...

14:56 which had been delayed since she was elected seven weeks ago. She has now signed the petition, giving it the needed 218 signatures that could eventually lead to the release of the so-called Epstein case files. It's too early! We have to drag it out until the midterms. That's when it's gonna get really fun, too early don't do it now. Yeah there is possible that they're going to force this out sooner than later Well yeah I think they definitely are that what's her name? The new girl Grijalva? Grijalva? It's Grijalva isn't it? I don't know her name either. Yeah she was on with Anderson Pooper

15:38 Let me see. No, you can't be won't be able to pronounce your name even when you look at it. Well let me see what CNN had here's Randy K. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy has been talked about for years are people still talking about this guy this creep that was President Donald Trump in July this year offering a very different opinion of Jeffrey Epstein than he once shared publicly In 2002, long before he became president Trump told New York Magazine he'd known Jeffrey Epstein for 15 years and called him a terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with it is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do and many of them are on the younger side Trump told the magazine Over the years the two have been spotted many times in public together this NBC video shows Trump and Epstein socializing in 1992 at a party at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate

16:30 The video, released in 2019 shows Trump appearing to say to Epstein look at her back there she's hot while Epstein smiles and nods. Former swimsuit model Stacey Williams who dated Epstein in 1993 told CNN in an interview Trump was Epsteins wingman They were best friends they were very close and they're up to no good Wait a minute she didn't actually say wing man But why didn't they put the wingman, Nat Pop in there? Oh good catch. Yeah she didn't say that! Smile. This is one of those classic examples that we keep pointing out on this show over and over again where the host says one thing and the exemplary clip says nothing bring into play doesn't say it at all look at her back there She's hot while Epstein smiles and nods

17:18 Former swimsuit model Stacey Williams, who dated Epstein in 1993 told CNN in an interview Trump was Epstein's wingman. So she is literally saying she told CNN in an interview that Trump was Epstein's wing man this is their archive footage I presume And yet, she doesn't say that. They were best friends! They were very close and they're up to no good. The two men flew together as well. Being up to no good is not the same as being a wingman? No definitely not and I like this he flew on the jet yeah but not with Epstein okay so they're up to no good The two men flew together as well. These flight logs show Trump traveled on Epstein's jet four times in 1993, twice in 1994 and once in 1995 and 1997. The logs were made public during Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 trial where she was convicted of sex trafficking among other things

18:11 Epstein also attended Trump's wedding to Marla Maples at New York Plaza Hotel in 1993. In 1997, Trump added this personal note to Epstein inside a copy of his book The Art Of The Comeback it reads To Jeff you are the greatest according to the New York Times that same year the two men were photographed together at Mar-a-Lago. Wow! I don't even get the joke That is a joke that you could have made Yeah, it would be my type of joke. I like that joke You are the greatest according to The New York Times That same year the two men were photographed together at Mar-a-Lago This exclusive CNN video shows Epstein and Trump chatting in 1999 or Victoria's Secret fashion show yeah, so okay so Nothing oh that come from what was our report? Was CNN a

Texas Redistricting Challenges and North Sea Nexus Branding

A discussion regarding Texas redistricting notes that legal challenges are being mounted against new district maps on the grounds of unconstitutional racial considerations. The conversation shifts to the "North Sea Nexus" terminology used to describe European monarchical influence on global affairs. There is a debate over whether the term accurately reflects the involvement of Mediterranean countries like Spain.

texas· redistricting· proposition 50· constitutional law· north sea nexus· monarchy

18:58 Oh brother. CNN, yeah and I won't bore you with the Anderson Pooper had the grief... By the way CNN was brought into play as in the newsletter last newsletter is The Hypocrite of The Week Yeah the newsletter was good actually i liked a newsletter because we invoked the inverse Fredericksburg theory which was perfect the inverse Fredericksburg theory where the word around... Well yes on the show we did. Yes, where the word around town was 90 days and then we of course concluded well that means it'll end any minute now. Yeah, any minute! And it did right after the show. Grids going down no the grid's not gonna go down don't worry about it that's the inverse Fredericksburg theme yes the inverse that's actually a good phrase yeah and if we should note it because this has been 100% accurate It has? A hundred percent

19:57 And I think you were correct in asserting that this was all done to get through the democratic sweep, the sweep of governors and mayors and other people. Prop 50? One thing after another which surprisingly passed and you said it would never pass No no! I never said it would never pass. I said it will never get implemented because as we talked about months ago, because when it was first being thought of. the redistricting thing before it was actually a proposition, but they were talking about doing it in Texas. There are some of this local yokels on the Commonwealth Club saying yeah well the Republicans tried doing this too and they got it passed and the courts struck it down and this is gonna get struck down to. Okay well who was challenging it before the court? It's being challenged by a number of groups and its rationale for the challenge is quite good okay it's a racial thing it's racism

21:01 They're making new districts based on race and that's illegal and it's unconstitutional, and it's gonna get struck down. It's a bullcrap thing. What? You're telling me the Democrats are racist? Yeah I've heard about this...I can't prove it but I've heard it So I do have North Sea Nexus stuff But I have a North Sea Nexus And by the way, I'm disliking the term Why Because the Spanish have a monarchy and... Yeah, they're part of it. Yes, they're part of it. But they are not in the North Sea that's the problem I'm having Well if you go far enough to the north

21:40 They're right on the Mediterranean, it's nowhere near there. But we have jingles and everything! You cannot... I just like that idea of a monarchy being thrown in because there is a monarchic aspect to this. Everyone is already used to North Sea Nexus Well I'm not going to kick it off the boat It's like the Eurovision song for Contest including Israel. I mean come on it's like well, that's exactly what we're dealing with We should be able to have a North Sea Nexus clip Well you want why don't we wait with the North Sea Nexus? Um dot you have like 8000 clips about Kimmel this this must be weighing very heavy on you Well, let me explain okay But most of these clips are short as you notice no kick This is I felt like I was

Molly McNearney Interview on We Can Do Hard Things Podcast

Molly McNearney, executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live, appeared on the podcast "We Can Do Hard Things" hosted by Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach. McNearney expressed deep resentment toward her conservative family members who vote for Donald Trump, characterizing their political choices as a personal betrayal of her husband. She described the difficulty of maintaining relationships with relatives she believes are being deliberately misinformed by media outlets like Fox News.

molly mcnearney· jimmy kimmel· glennon doyle· abby wambach· fox news· family values

22:27 This was from a podcast called We Can Do Hard Things that's run by three lesbians. A lesbian, a famous lesbian couple of famous lesbian couple author and her... Well how famous are they? Watch this the woman I have to go look them up their names because I can't remember. They're so famous! No she's super-famous she's got written a bunch of lesbian books like she's a super-famous author and then her Diesel Dyke wife is a famous US soccer player and a soccer coach. These are not slouches, but I never heard of them. But they're not slouches in the scheme of things. Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle? Yeah. Okay super famous

23:17 That's what I feel too, but you look them up especially Glenda and they're famous. But they're only famous in lesbian circles. Oh! You are not a lesbian? No. I'm not a lesbian? Who are we to say what is famous? Who is the famous lesbian? We can't do it And we are famously out of touch. We are old bloomers. We don't know who were the famous young lesbian authors are Have you checked this for authenticity Yes, I did and I did a little research enough research to indicate that yes So there's famous lesbian. So this qualifies as media deconstruction because it's not just the podcast It's a podcast hosted by famous lesbians Yes All right. I mean so then brought so here's what would and so Jimmy Kimmel his wife who lived next door to the famous lesbians Decided to do their podcast and they revealed a lot of

24:14 to an extreme, I think because they were so relaxed with these lesbians that it's just... Because they're neighbors. To me here's what-to me I felt like Sigmund Freud and walk who walked into my office but a sexually perverted schizophrenic bipolar paranoid screwball nutjob of the highest order that I'd never see or witness again in my entire life. And that would be Jimmy Kimmel? It wouldn't be... No, actually! Jimmy Kimmel's wife. Oh well this explains a lot about him

24:53 Molly. Mollie Kimmel? Molly McNerny, N-Nerny something. Is she related to the other McNa-nerney? No no no this is a different spelling it's totally different At any point did anyone in the podcast say hey stop clamming up or what did that not happen So, uh... brother. You got a little list there or something that you refer to for these kinds of jokes? Yeah it's called the troll room. Okay what am I thinking? They're on point! What am i thinking so um Now, just to give you an indicator I'm gonna play the two clips of the opening. Now when you're introduced to a podcast this is...I'll have to tell what these clips are specifically so they're put together in a very awkward way. Yes, yes, I can tell So one that your looking for here for the starter is Kimmel and Wife 1 And before you play it This is short 9 seconds So you go on a podcast

25:55 And you usually, someone says hi how are you doing? and you usually say Hi hello or whatever. You know it's a phony baloney greeting listen to the way they begin How is it going? Hi guys how are you doing? Good Learn good I might cry Just seeing your faces So Kimmel says hi guys and she... The first thing she says is not hello No I'm gonna cry But I am going to cry I'm gonna say that next time on Rogan I said, hey Joe. Hey brother. I'm about to cry. It's just so good to see you. Okay. Now he does that Kimmel tries to soften the blow with Kimmel wife too. Kimmel wife wait Kimmel and oh Kimmel wife too. You cry in every podcast. No i already don't feel special. Can you cry hardest today Molly? I will definitely try the hardest here. Thank you. Sissy Oh my God this is so exciting

26:53 Oh man, but this is neighbor talk. Do they have to take a bus to their neighbor? To one of those homes like those really big homesteads in Beverly Hills is close together and Brentwood Yeah they're pretty there right next door Okay I could jump to the one clip i mean i can play all these clips i'm gonna roll Roll the way you want to man! I'm ready! I'm excited Let's okay would the thing that so far it's not paying off but i'm excited There it is again, ladies and gentlemen. You know I have to say...I got a note from Julie. Julie Senseman Yes good old Julie And Julie says Adam, I wish you and John would not have talked about how mean you are to him because now i notice it all the time Yeah! It's all subtle, its all resentful Its noticeable

27:56 So we go with it, now this what triggered my fascination and I don't want to belabor this and make it a 40 minute presentation but it was... A chunk of this was presented on every Fox show about her being upset with you know her relatives. And that's all they left out, they left all the good stuff out And I want to start with some of this stuff and let's go with, um... This is the- this i think is part of the two parter that they play everywhere at least chunks of it everywhere. To make her look like an idiot! And by the way she is uh she she is and she's always scolding him and she's always saying let's get back on track let's get back on track let's get back on track she says that a lot

28:43 And he's just, he's a beaten man. It is almost pathetic to watch and the last clip that I planned this presentation with is extremely pathetic and I believe it for the end This is Kimmel & Wife Losses. Losses... okay. Long one Yep! I gotcha This is random but I think about all of time with you guys like You come from pretty conservative family Yes Not me but mom No not you and no Thanksgiving it's one thing to come from a conservative family and just sort of you know deprogram yourself and go along your life Come from a conservative family, and then become like the mockingjay father side

29:28 Well, it's definitely been challenging. Thankfully my immediate family all they did not vote for Donald Trump Okay They did the first time a few of them we flipped them the second time It's It's weird. When Donald Trump was first elected, I was so upset we all were but I remember thinking I understand it because I grew up in a very conservative Republican house. My dad a Rush Limbaugh tie in high school I voted Republican straight ticket, and that's what I was told to do. And then I left St. Louis Missouri and I met people from different backgrounds and I started to understand different things and different needs in different people. So there is like a little bit of sympathy I have for people in my family that I feel are

30:22 Kind of being deliberately misinformed every day, and they've kind of yeah They're deliberately being misinformed every day And they believe it but it hurts me so much because Of the personal relationship. I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man and To me them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me in our family, and I unfortunately have Kind of lost relationships with people in my family because you know obviously I read the New York Times like all day long Mainly on my iPad. Yeah it's her

31:06 Wow, and so Jimmy Kimmel is fighting Donald Trump. This man of mine he is fighting Donald. This is sad to hear actually so far you've only made me sad Yeah this is not going to be uplifting I'll just give you that warning It's pathetic And the fact that there are people out there like this and now she had to remember that she is the head writer of The Kimmel Show and oh the executive producer. Oh How did you get that gig? She started off as in an intern I think into When the show first began about 20 years ago, and she worked her way up and took over the show Wow Well, that's a rags-to-riches story Yeah well, she seems like aggressive woman

31:58 And she not only took over the show, but she married Jimmy. So she's so she was a writer on the show and they met on the show Yeah, yeah sexist that's illegal in some states So when did the lesbians come in because this so far it's like The lesbians will be explained at the end that they when they move to this new house That's when though they discovered the lesbians were next door The lesbians are talking on and off. You can't tell the difference in... One of those great shows where everybody's voice is exactly the same, but most of this is Molly. So I mean mostly the lesbians are very...I'm just trying to clip Molly and here's Molly again and this is part two of that clip

32:40 This is losses too. It's like, this is not just Republican versus Democrat for me anymore it is to me its family values and it's really hard for me because I grew up believing in these Christian ideals of taking care the sick and taking care of the poor and I don't see that happening with this Republican Party and so it's...I feel like I'm kind of a constant conflict angry all the time, which isn't healthy at all. But I like personalize everything now when I see these terrible stories every day and immediately mad at certain aunts uncles cousins who put him in power. It's really hard and it's...I wish I could like deprogram myself in some way but I get really angry Oh no come to Bridge Church we'll take care of you don't worry if you want to be deprogrammed That's unlikely

33:34 I feel really bad for her. She gets mad at, at her family for putting him in power? Yeah. Jeez. So here we go with the um... This is just a little later and this comes up because I thought it was connected and this is um... This is the Kimmel and wife final resentment clip Like every time I go to a fundraiser and we do a lot of fundraising and donating to candidates and causes, I go. Of course, I'm gonna give this but I'd rather be giving it to Children's Hospital right now which like why? And I'm giving money so I can make sure this woman who should definitely be elected gets elected like what are we off duh duh! Of course this woman should win Why are we voting for this clown? And it-I get resentful of the amount of energy We all have to push

34:26 forward so we don't keep falling back or like can we just keep going this way and it would just keep getting yanked back and yanked back, and I get really resentful of people in my life that I feel like put us there. Causes and candidates... There's always women involved by the way she is a very feminist woman Well isn't this exactly although she isn't middle class but you know she's upper-class, upper class white woman Yeah, she's the classic. Very classic! Now I got two clips here this is where they tell their kids when he got suspended for a couple days and it was such big deal national news yeah and they have to tell the kids and so there's a lot of... What? It's not like daddy lost his job from the factory I mean they're gonna be okay

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney Parenting Anecdote

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney recounted a story about telling their children that their television show had been suspended. They admitted to telling their children that the President was responsible for the suspension, leading to a discussion about political indoctrination within the household. The segment concludes with their daughter questioning if being on the "right side of history" meant they were "on the left."

35:17 Well, this is an interesting... This shows you the family dynamics. They have brainwashed their kids if you listen to these clips carefully it's quite interesting and I don't believe there's any exaggeration or embellishment with this discussion And this is a two-parter here and this is Kimmel and wife telling their kids. And Jimmy let them know he said our show has been suspended And our daughter immediately burst into tears. And she said, I'll sell my lil boo-boos

35:54 And we told her, yeah you should. No we did not... We told her no you don't need to do that and sell the boo-boos and our son asked if the president had done this? And uh.. we looked at each other and didn't quite know how to answer that question I think i said yes! We did actually both said yes at the exact same time ummm....We said yes He did It's weird because You dont want your kids to... Its certainly not a experience I had with my parents You know, I think every single parent who has ever lost the job there is that heartbreaking moment. I remember my daughter saying it when i got fired for the seventh time

36:35 Well, well dad you know I can help. I think she actually said can't just go to the money machine? I think that's what she said though. Well that's not the point of this clip No i understand it's...it's the indoctrination about the president The idea that Trump fired him Yeah Trump yes And then they because one kid says oh did the president fire you and then they say yeah he did no we didn't That's a lie! That's just a blatant lie. I think we should call the Children Protection Service, CPS! Okay so here is the second part of this. This is Kimmel and wife kids 2. To calm her down you know he said we're okay We are going to be fine You know it's gonna be okay This does not change your life It doesn't change your friends Doesn't change the memories you make We are going to be okay And Jimmy and I really both believe that night The show was never coming back

37:31 And then I... So we were lying. So, we were lying. Of course! But it was just yeah. Then I went over to the pantry and ate everything in it. That's also true. Um and I said to Jane, I said um you and Billy I said I want you guys to know that It's really important You remember this moment and I want you to remember this that your dad and his show are on the right side of history. Oh. I want you to remember that And my daughter very earnestly paused and she said, I thought we were on the left. Wow kudos for sitting through this thing! I couldn't get away from it i felt like again Freud

CHAPTER 06 / 34 Discussion

Jimmy Kimmel Climate Change Rant and Celebrity Culture

Jimmy Kimmel expressed a fatalistic view on climate change, suggesting that future generations will live in a "hellscape" due to current fossil fuel consumption and corporate greed. The discussion critiques Kimmel's sincerity and transitions into an anecdote about Molly McNearney's starstruck reaction to meeting her lesbian neighbors. The hosts suggest that such personal dynamics and political posturing contribute to the declining ratings of late-night television.

38:19 It was unbelievable. So let's go on with a couple of the side notes besides that horrible thing to say, I thought we were on the left? What kind of kids...these are kids they're not teenagers even okay here is Kimmel and his wife on Fox about now this is just typical way they think and this is about they bring in Fox News I thought this was enlightening Kim and wife Fox News? Yeah. Okay, yeah they can watch they can watch Fox News all day but the hard part for me this is it's a strange position to be in is like you personally know two humans in your life you're related to

38:56 Our jobs here, we don't tell lies. We tell jokes but we are literally scouring the news every day presenting people with facts followed by jokes and if you can't... To me I go why are you trusting that guy over me? This is exactly why late night television is dying because everyone is a warrior just tell some joke show them movie clip Ask the scripted questions and move on. About how it was a trumper that killed Charlie Kirk, and it wasn't. That's a lie She lies on this show when she says Trump fired Kimmel Trump had nothing to do with firing Kimmel He may have bitched and moan but he didn't fire him He's not what wasn't working for Trump so they are liars these two and listen to the extent of it

39:55 But by the self brainwashing, this is Kimmel and wife on Kimmel's client. This is where Jimmy talks which is rare in this interview believe me. This is where Jimmy actually gets to talk but his rant on climate is ludicrous. And eventually, I think that's going to come back and bite them in the ass also. I just don't think people are thinking in the long term and that the greater good is more important than individual good for the individual. We look at what we do to the climate as like hey, I can make a little bit more money if

40:52 Yeah, I burn as much fossil fuel as i possibly can. It's like oh that's great um it's going to be really hot and you're not gonna have water like you know trick-or-treating in a bikini your grandchildren are going to be living in a hellscape because you made a little bit more money this year and I just don't, I think that we're going to there were as a society gonna look back at this time and we're gonna be really angry at the people that made those decisions. All of us not just not just the left all of us are gonna look back and go what the hell did these people do to us? Things were going pretty good on this planet and now look at where we are

41:35 It's really, it's hard not to feel defeated. It really is. Do you think that he really means this or is this virtue signaling to the extreme? No I think he means it and I think he has been completely taken in by it. Oh wow! I'm not feeling good, again. I'm not feeling good about this expose of yours because it makes me feel very... Because you know there's less but almost half of America must feel this way Yes They must speak this way We have to come to grips with this Oh! I've come to grips with it but the confrontation is always saddening

42:11 Yeah, well it's just I consider it pathetic. So here is the last clip and this is the clip uh...I think its the last clip, it better be This is the clip, Kimmel and wife, this is the final anecdote now This is the story about how they met two lesbians, a lesbian couple next door The famous lesbian even though you mocked me for mentioning that but the famous lesbian in her famous wife whose partner wife I think they're married. I don't know and don't care and This indicates to me that Kimball's wife has gotten tons of problems for one thing she recognized these people on site And admit, I'm gonna give it this is a briefing of what you're gonna hear yes like a lot of setup It's a big set up because I cuz it's the end so she is I just try to get you in their mind frame and

43:05 She knows who these lesbians are and they're the most famous people in her life the way she sees it. And she went kind of nuts when she met them, and then she embarrassed herself in a way that is extremely insulting to Jimmy. I don't know whether he gets or not He does make a little sound in here you'll hear...and she is a horrible person for doing saying what she's about to say Here we go We're neighbors. And when you moved here, you DM'd us? Right. You... First of all hold on one second let's just go back before the DM happened I had a full freak out seeing both of you guys outside yeah oh like Oh yes it was this was quite an... Really embarrassing now i want to remind you that I've worked at this show for 23 years and we have I think met every possible celebrity and political figure unfazed I'm on a walk

44:01 I see you too and i just became undone. I didn't know what to do, I went oh hi Glennon Abby hi! And then I did a thing that I never do which identified myself as Jimmy's wife so gross. I prefer it. I said Hi I'm Molly and then your like who the hell is molly? I am jimmy Kimmels wife and wanted to die Kimmel in that little back and forth says, I prefer it. Good luck! And it was like she is also a showrunner, I should mention. What she did there to him, I think was one of the most horrible things a woman could ever do. She was embarrassed that she was the wife of Jimmy Kimmel

44:53 and she was embarrassed to say that, and humiliated by it. She is a... obviously doesn't like men, doesn't like her husband, and she doesn't like anything! She hates Republicans, and she hates their own family this is a horrible person And she runs the Jimmy Kimmel show. So when you, you wonder why the ratings are crap on that show? Yeah what are they going to do after because eventually all late night is going to just has to go away. Well they're gonna have to get rid of these shows and yeah I mean it's possible that The Last Man Standing can maintain enough numbers to stay in business than maybe Tonight Show.

CHAPTER 07 / 34 Discussion

UK Intelligence Suspension Over US Caribbean Drug Strikes

The United Kingdom reportedly suspended certain intelligence-sharing operations with the United States in the Caribbean due to concerns over the legality of US military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats. Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied that these concerns were raised during G7 meetings in Canada. Reports suggest the UK is uncomfortable with the use of lethal force against vessels they consider civilian, while the US classifies the operators as narco-terrorists.

marco rubio· united kingdom· caribbean· drug interdiction· lethal force· southern command

45:34 But this is this has got to end the North Sea Nexus report All right, see we have jingles so we can't change the name but we're sticking with North Sea Nexus for now John has a clip Yeah, I heard this clip and it was totally like the way it was played as a news item. It was done kind of missing the point that we brought up and you, I think in particular, brought up the fact that these... We may have both agreed on it almost simultaneously that these attacks on

46:22 Venezuelan boats have got nothing to do with us. But it's a way to give it, kind of put the screws to the North Sea nexus... Because the drug running is the big industry and all this whitewash through the City of London banks Which brought me back to that thought which I just kinda recollected which you mentioned, there's a show that I tried to watch a couple of times. It was on Netflix, I'm not sure what it is but it's the show about this king or... It was a royal show but it said in Modern Times and then in the background that guy's growing marijuana

47:08 Oh yeah. This is a show you liked and I found it unwatchable He inherits the estate, and there's the growing marijuana on the estate Yeah unbeknownst to him at that time Yes...I can't remember the name of it but yes Great show! It's a great show whose name eludes you Well I watch a lot of shows Well that show, which I didn't find watchable. You liked it and... I did, I liked it a lot It was brought to mind when I heard this story but if you think of the backdrop

47:47 our analysis that these Venezuelan boats are headed to you basically headed to a transfer point so this stuff can go to Europe not here it makes the story makes it very funny. This is the aha story UK concerns NPR European countries have raised concerns about America's military buildup in the Caribbean but Secretary of State Marco Rubio says no one brought it up with him at a G7 meeting in Canada as NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports Wrapping up his two-day visit to Canada, Secretary Rubio brushed off reports that the UK is withholding certain intelligence from the US because of concerns about deadly strikes on alleged drug boats from Venezuela. We have very strong partnerships with the UK and other countries again nothing has changed or happened that has impeded in any way our ability to do what we're doing nor are we asking anyone to help us with what we're doing at any realm and that includes military

48:38 Rubio says the US has plenty of military assets in the region that can collect intelligence for what he calls a counter-narcotics campaign, and he says this issue never came up during his meetings with other G7 foreign ministers. Yeah, the show is called The Gentleman. It's a Guy Ritchie series. Right, The Gentlemen So this of course everyone latched on to this knowing about the North Sea Nexus my timeline was filled with it and I love this because I didn't have this angle from Rubio saying well nothing has changed that would make it harder for us but they did UK definitely

49:18 I don't think there was anyone on record saying, hey you know, Yeah, we don't want to participate in this. Knock it off! Listen to the CNN version of this Just into the situation room United Kingdom is suspending some intelligence sharing with the United States because of the Trump administration strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean just Into the situation room by the way see it a national security correspondent Natasha Bertrand joins us with her exclusive reporting so This is so significant Natasha because the UK is arguably the closest ally to the United States when it comes to intelligence sharing and now on this issue at least It's pulling back right? That's exactly right Pam. So previously, The UK had been a very important intelligence-sharing partner for the US in the Caribbean because of course the UK has

50:11 number of territories in the Caribbean. They have an interest in helping to stop the flow of drugs to United States and elsewhere in the Caribbean." Okay, so when she says they have an interest in stopping it what I hear is they obviously have an interest in moving the drugs to the US and the Caribbean? "...in the Caribbean because of course the UK has a number of territories in the Caribbean. They have an interest in helping to stop the flow of drugs to the United States and elsewhere..." Why do they have an interest in that this does not explain Why do they have an interest in stopping it? Obviously, she says. I don't know is that so obvious? I don't think so. It's not obvious to me either! The flow of drugs to the United States and elsewhere in the Caribbean... And so they would often share intelligence given the intelligence assets that they have down there with the US to help the U.S Coast Guard interdict and arrest

51:02 drug smugglers and also to seize all of the narcotics on board. But that changed when the US military started actually blowing up these boats using lethal force against these vessels, the UK was deeply uncomfortable with that felt violated international law and for that reason it suspended that intelligence sharing with the U S just over a month ago we're told because it did not want its intelligence and its information being used by the US military to carry out these kinds of lethal attacks. This is so incredible! Yeah, we don't want to use intelligence that gets people killed... What?! You kill people over the entire world

51:45 We've done nothing but kill civilians and people everywhere with intelligence, but now? Oh no. Oh we can't kill these guys." By the way when she says you know obviously they want to grab the drugs yeah of course because once the officials have the drugs it's much easier to distribute I mean you really have to think of in these terms and that...we've talked about the drug trade before since the beginning of this show I mean, do you remember when HSBC got fined because they were laundering all the Mexican cartel drug money into the US? All of it. Oh! I mean hundreds and hundreds of millions... Yeah right through their banks. Yeah right through the banks. Hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars in cash went in on the Mexican side and whoop! It's popped out on the other side. And then CNN gets really creative Now this comes amid a lot of skepticism, right? I mean broadly from legal experts

52:42 as well as now we're seeing from the international community about the legality of this US military campaign. Legality? We have reported previously that the U.S Southern Command commander offered to resign last month because he had been raising questions about the legality of these strikes. Bullshit! And, he is set to retire early next month... We got an inside track on that The guy just retired early He was just tired He didn't, at no point did he say this is an outrage we're killing civilians I want out.

53:17 It just didn't happen. One year into his tenure as the Southern Command Chief and so there have been a lot of questions here about whether the US military campaign is legal, it's not seeing that play out in practice with the UK saying we don't believe that these strikes are in keeping with international law and we believe they're illegal and we don't want to be complicit in them. That is really the key here, they don't want their information being used to target individuals on vessels that are then going to be killed who are in the UK's mind. These are our employees stop killing them! Civilians of course the US has argued that there enemy combatants and they'll want that to be on their hands and so now we're seeing this suspension of intelligence sharing unclear how long it actually going to last

CHAPTER 08 / 34 Discussion

BBC Coverage of US Caribbean Military Operations

The BBC reported on the scale of US military operations against drug smuggling boats, noting that at least 19 vessels have been destroyed, resulting in over 70 deaths. The Trump administration defended the actions by claiming each boat carries enough drugs to kill 25,000 Americans. Critics and legal experts cited by the BBC argue the campaign breaches international law by treating a criminal enterprise as a military conflict.

bbc· tom bateman· donald trump· narco-terrorists· international law

54:07 But there's a lot of ambivalence here about the US military operations both in the Caribbean and increasingly in the Eastern Pacific. So why don't we listen to the BBC and see how the BBC positioned this? Now, there are reports that Britain has stopped sharing intelligence with the U.S. in the Caribbean Our State Department correspondent Tom Bateman is at the G7 meeting in Canada from where he spoke to Justin Webb I mean my sense from the Americans is that i think this is happening. You won't get anyone to confirm it on the record because this is about intelligence sharing but it seems that you know as the reports suggest, that the UK has declined to share certain limited amounts of intelligence with the Americans when it comes to something they were doing in the Caribbean

54:57 which was to pass on details of suspected drug smuggling boats to a task force in Florida and it appears to be the case that is not now happening. And the concern I think on the British side according to the reporting is that there is a concern this would be complicit in potentially illegal activity as in the American strikes on alleged drug smuggling boats and you will hear people say well the Brits actually, don't contribute necessarily huge amount there because the Americans are the dominant sort of military force there but Britain does have naval assets there and there's clearly some value to the intelligence in that region.

55:37 I have never heard anything like this. I've never heard... There's never, that i can recall been a report Oh we're not sharing intelligence because you know you might be killing people What? This is so clear to me. Now there's a second part to this. Give us the sense of the scale of it, we know that Donald Trump has been attacking these boats and we know that... Donald Trump has been attacking these boats? Oh really! Yeah, Trump is flying over with jets himself? Give us a sense of the scale of it We know that Donald Trump has been attacking these boats and we know that his administration has defended the attacks

56:12 on them. What is actually happening and what are they intending to do? Well, what they've done so far is they've blown up at least 19 of these small boats killing more than 70 people the Trump administration says that these are in their words narco-terrorists that there're people that delivering drugs to America that are killing in each boat they say 25,000 people will be killed by the drugs on each boat although those numbers simply don't stack up at all if you look at the numbers that die from fentanyl overdoses each year for example and their view is very strongly... See here they're very cavalier it's like it's not that many people what's your problem I mean we can't kill 70 drug runners we got to stop Intel sharing but 25,000 those numbers don't stack up. Simply don't stack opportunity. Well what he's doing is extrapolating the say approximately 20 boats that were blown up in each one would be twenty five thousand people times twenty is more than the annual death toll

57:11 Right, okay. Mathematically but it's like okay this is another Trump lie I guess. Each boat although those numbers simply don't stack up at all if you look at the numbers that die from Fentanyl overdoses each year for example and their view is very strongly that this is a war on America by Latin American drugs cartels and that it then therefore justifies the extension of terrorism designations and effectively the use of the laws of arms conflict against drug smugglers. The counter argument, and we've heard this you know from a lot of lawmakers on Capitol Hill is that this is both in breach of American and international law because this is a criminal enterprise that should be dealt with as it was before through law enforcement. Yeah okay all right so all of a sudden now the BBC... good

CHAPTER 09 / 34 Discussion

BBC Internal Memo and Editorial Bias Allegations

An internal memo from a BBC advisor, revealed by The Daily Telegraph, accuses the broadcaster of systemic bias and deceptive editing. The dossier highlights a 2021 segment that spliced Donald Trump's January 6th speech to imply he encouraged insurrection. Additionally, the report claims the BBC knowingly misreported on mass graves in Gaza and allowed its LGBTQ desk to be "captured" by activists, leading to one-sided coverage of trans issues.

bbc· the daily telegraph· january 6· gaza· lgbtq desk· stonewall

58:06 I'm gonna reach back to the end of the last show because there's a couple of things that happened with this report that came out and the report, you can call it a whistleblower. I guess but it was really someone...this guy what's his name? His name Evades me at the moment. He was on the editorial board For the BBC and he had written several times to these the muckety-muck saying hey, you know There's a lot wrong here this The Telegraph revealed all this What is the guy's name? Here's Prescott there you go. He wasn't independent advisor to the BBC's Editorial Guidelines and Standards Board

58:54 and he highlighted in a very lengthy memo, link in show notes. Very lengthy! A number of issues with the BBC's reporting and we have to know that... We have to recall that the BBC is a worldwide news organization They got BBC America which it is quite big And a lot of other organizations look to the BBC will refer to the BBC as an authority they're seen by the British you know, the highest of high authority. Forget Savile and all the other pedophiles they found inside the BBC. Okay we'll just shove that to the side. You know they pay a specific... Why not? They pay an annual fee it's a license fee and that was done... The British public. Yes specifically I think... You have to pay a license fee in England to watch TV. Yes and that was done specifically so it was not

59:51 tied to taxes so that what could of course, what happened here is oh we defunded NPR and PBS. We didn't really but just 1% by their own admission But they didn't want it ever to become political. So this is the, and the BBC World Service I mean this is a very very large organization A lot of news organizations look to the BBC And BBC has a partnership They entered into in 2021 with CBS News so there's news sharing which is incredibly dangerous when you think about it I don't know what Barry Weiss will do about it Nothing Probably not

1:00:31 So I'm just going to replay this. I've tightened it up a little bit, this is the Donald Trump January 6th edit and then there's a couple other things you need to highlight about this very highbrow BBC reporting outfit Well it's the biggest story in town It turns out American President Donald Trump was onto something Where are you from? BBC Here's another beauty. It's a good line, impartial free and fair. Well that criticism of the BBC and John Sopel he was talking to there apparently was well founded because the so-called impartial an accurate public service broadcaster is nothing but. Because tonight the BBC is facing serious questions over its credibility after The Daily Telegraph exposed a panorama segment

1:01:17 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 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...

1:01:59 We're going to walk down to the Capitol and I'll be there with you. Now see there, between capital and that's a cut here is what Trump actually said... we're gonna walk down to the Capitol and we are going to cheer on 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 gonna walk down to the Capitol... And we fight! We fight like hell That is damning So what- The really interesting part of this is that this panorama

1:02:49 segment aired on November 2nd worldwide just days before the election. Yeah, the 2024 election. The 2024 election clearly meant to sway opinion there's just no other way you can look at it right now if we continue with this telegraph reveal the dossier there's a lot of other things that the BBC has been reporting on falsely, knowingly falsely. In April and June 2024 the BBC published two stories about the discovery of mass graves at Al-Nasr and al-Shifa hospitals... You remember this story? Oh yeah! ...in Gaza

1:03:34 According to the internal BBC dossier, the article strongly implied that Israeli forces had buried bodies at both sites prior to withdrawing from the area. The articles also mentioned alleged evidence of war crimes including bodies found with their hands tied and gunshot wounds to their heads but the BBC's own editorial standards committee was told that this narrative was wrong The memo says that the most likely explanation is that the mass graves were dug by Palestinians themselves and the people buried there had died or been killed prior to the arrival of the Israeli ground forces. So, the BBC made a mistake? Well perhaps!

1:04:16 But the committee argues that the broadcaster knew that Palestinians were burying their dead at these sites before the Israeli raids. Whatever your personal views may be on the actions of Israel in Gaza, implying a country committed war crimes when there is evidence to the contrary has serious ramifications not least because it could erode the credibility of genuine war crime claims and a later date The very long Prescott memo also goes into the children death count, goes into they're starving them. And BBC actually would alter their reporting on their website so it was like well the malnutritioned and then they would take out malnutrition a week later because it turned out that they had genetic issues

1:05:05 The BBC are just full of propagandistic liars and it's not always by lying in your face, it is of course also often by omission. This internal BBC memo accuses the broadcaster of censoring its stories about the trans debate In it one of the BBCs own independent advisors repeatedly warns that the broadcaster is exhibiting serious and systemic problems. But in the case of the trans issue, it's not just how the content is reported or edited or framed instead it's what audiences don't see that reveals the one-sided nature of their coverage now this dossier describes

1:05:44 damning terms. Allegations that the BBC's specialist LGBTQ desk had been, quote, captured by a small group of people promoting the Stonewall view of the debate and keeping other perspectives off air." The way the BBC works is that different news programmes have to share a pool of reporters rather than having their own dedicated reporters which means And for stories about LGBTQ issues, they have to use reporters from the LGBTQ desk. Crucially though, the report claims that those reporters refuse to cover any stories that raise what are called difficult questions about the trans debate. The dossier goes as far as to allege that the BBC shares a constant drip feed of one-sided stories that celebrate the trans experience without adequate balance or objectivity. Whaaaaaa? Gambling?!

Apollo Global Management Acquisition of The Telegraph

The Daily Telegraph has been acquired by Apollo Global Management, led by Mark Rowan, following a period of receivership. Rowan is noted as a significant donor to Donald Trump's 2020 campaign and was previously considered for a Treasury Secretary position. This ownership shift is framed as a potential counter-move against established media entities within the "North Sea Nexus."

the daily telegraph· apollo global management· mark rowan· redbird capital· donald trump

1:06:40 Of course, this is the danger of a desk. How many times have we laughed about we're going to peep now at the climate desk? Well, of course you have to use the climate desk to get your climate information and you get lies! Now the timing of all of this is what was interested me the most why now and I think it is part of a counter-attack against the North Sea Nexus so we see now were taken out their drug money The Telegraph, which is the paper who do videos apparently, new podcasts who reported all of this. They've been in some very serious trouble they in fact went into receivership in 2023 when Lloyds Bank placed the parent company into receivership over unpaid debts exceeding 1 billion pounds

1:07:34 In May of 2025, Redbird Capital Partners which is a private equity firm announced the 500 million pound deal to acquire full control with international media investments of Abu Dhabi to take a minority stake. That didn't go anywhere because hey we can't have a bunch of Abu Dhabis running the show however just in this month of November Redbird secured funding from Apollo Global Management to acquire the Telegraph. Who is Apollo Global Management? Well, we've talked about this outfit... I think one of the directors had to step down – remember Leon Black? He got kicked out of there for some nefarious activity!

1:08:25 But he was set up for something. I'm sure he was setup, but his co-founder Mark Rowan still runs the show and he's a friend of Trump! He and his wife donated $1 million to Trump's 2020 presidential campaign They helped finance Trump's casino ventures back in the day... He was actually up for Treasury Secretary before Scott Besson came in So this sounds like an obvious hit on the North Sea Nexus by Trump. He's going after him because this... Well, I should mention one of our producers is a Telegraph columnist that's Andrew Orlowski. Ah! Have you spoken to him? Recently we had a back and forth with him because he's come up with-he's got-He's the negative type of guy Yes And he's got a bunch of nasty stuff to say about AI

Liz Truss on the UK Deep State and Bureaucracy

Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss discussed the influence of the "permanent bureaucracy" and the Bank of England on British governance. Truss argued that elected officials have lost power to unelected technocrats who prioritize agendas like Net Zero and mass migration over the will of the voters. She specifically identified the City of London and the Office for Budget Responsibility as key drivers of fiscal policy that operate independently of the Prime Minister.

1:09:20 Yes, well he's my friend then. Yeah well he is our friend... He is the show's friend and I will probably reiterate some of these things eventually Good So I came across an interview with Liz Trust And Liz Truss was Prime Minister of the UK for what, six weeks? A couple of minutes. She was in and out and she's very open about what's really going on in the UK and who is really running this show The Deep State Of The UK! Well let's talk about the states or more specifically the deep states. You say the Bank of England... Yes Let me just stop and draw a comment in Sure Now personally I don't think that deep state

1:10:09 is a deep state when it's the monarchy which is the most upfront, deep state you can imagine. I agree It's not a deep state because it's not hiding No! It's the surface state Yeah but...I said deep state because the interviewer says deep state But she... That's why I wanted to interrupt cause' its ludicrous to me that you'd call the monarchy of the deep state. Well also know that if you look at the board, the boards of the BBC who's on it? Lord such and such sir, poopity peep! You know these are all people who receive knighthoods have peerage I mean this is the extended monarchy

1:10:58 which of course initially got all of its money from the East India Company, the West India Company. And the taxpayers! And they're still mad about America They really wanted it to be part of their empire and we broke away from them Of course it was initially yeah okay The Pilgrims came over and they ran away because of religious issues and they want to make this into a big Christian land the head, the king being the head of the church. But it was still Britain! It was still the British tobacco company I mean that's how it started but they always saw us as one of their colonies and they really never gotten over the fact that you know we're not a part of them. We basically gave him the finger. Well let's talk about this state or more specifically The Deep States You say The Bank Of England sabotaged you

1:11:55 The Treasury and Civil Service. Hold on a second, I didn't hear that part so the Bank of England is the deep state too? Yeah well probably but how is that deep state this is up front this is face forward yes we need a better term I'm in total agreement but it's the Bank of England! Of course it is you know and who if you can only imagine who runs all that Tell me, tell our viewers and listeners about this deep state and the people who really are controlling our governments. I think it's important for people to understand because people think the Prime Minister is all-powerful or the Chancellor is all powerful they can go into government and then can just pull the levers yeah and things will happen but actually the government is controlled by the permanent bureaucracy by the civil service

1:12:46 It's them who hire and fire the people that work in the government. They control the budgets of each government department, they make the decisions about how policies are implemented so even if a policy has been signed off by a minister It's a civil servant who says whether it is legal, it's a civil servant who implements it. It's the civil servant who signs off the budget for it and that gives those people a lot of power. Now the Bank of England governor has what I would describe as unaccountable power. He's appointed for eight years, he can pretty much only be sacked for gross negligence so he is able to make decisions about the economy independent of the elected government that have massive implications in people's lives So what has happened and it got particularly bad in the last 30 years since Tony Blair got into office

1:13:44 There's lots of power that used to sit in the hands of elected people now sits in the hands of the unelected. This whole interview gave me a different view of Liz Trust because, you know I really thought and she just like a spot on your shirt who was... You know we wiped her away and she was gone She kind of opened up here about the money migration all of it They are making decisions about monetary policy So, what interest rates are? How much money the Bank of England prints that's a decision the Bank of England essentially makes. They're making decisions about fiscal policy so if you look at the budget coming up you'll hear a lot about the Office for Budget Responsibility, the OBR they're the people that essentially set the tramlines which the Chancellor has to operate in

1:14:37 And the same is true, by the way for things like migration. You know there's an independent government legal department that decides what's legal and what's illegal they are the people who are saying sorry but you've got to put these migrants up at four-star hotels yeah that's so what I'm saying is that this bureaucratic apparatus is there. It is essentially driving the decision-making of government and ministers pretty much have to go along with it. So when she talks about the Bank of England, I hear the City of London which is you know just like DC it's its own city has its own fire department, its own police force there their own little entity Yeah they're totally alien Totally separate and they've had a lot of power over our interest rates Of course we cleared all that up going from Libor to Sofia

1:15:32 And this is her final clip. She really keeps talking about them as they and they must be them These are people broadly speaking The senior people in the Treasury the senior people of the Bank of England, they believe in net zero Okay, I believe in mass migration They believe in Keynesian economics. They believe in high tax and high spent mm-hmm They were responsible for printing vast amounts of money After the financial crisis during Kovac inflated asset prices and made it very difficult for young people to get on in life So they have a world view. They're not neutral technocrats Yeah, I have a worldview and we can see this worldview emerges worldview. I hear globalist I think that's what she means by that from time to time say Bailey has recently criticized brexit

1:16:23 you know, he has promoted net zero. Mark Carney who is the ultimate version of these people made lots of money out of the whole climate change agenda or what Donald Trump would call the climate change scam. He then went on to be Prime Minister of Canada and is busy ruining Canada's economy at the moment so these people are not neutral experts, they are people with an agenda who have huge amounts of unelected power. So I don't know if Liz Truss really sees all the way through what Britain has been doing throughout history but there's a guy who is getting a lot of traction right now on different podcasts including my favorite Guns Goats Gold Goats and Guns our buddy Tom Longo this guy's name is Richard Poe

CHAPTER 12 / 34 Discussion

Richard Poe on British Influence and NGOs

Author Richard Poe presents a historical theory claiming the British government invented the use of NGOs and secret societies to destabilize foreign rivals, including France and Russia. Poe suggests that British agents were behind the 1848 revolutions and the conspiracy to assassinate Abraham Lincoln through the "Young America" network. The discussion links these historical methods to modern globalist agendas and the influence of the Pilgrim Society.

1:17:13 And in January of this year, he released his book. Here's a new one coming out in a couple of weeks His book is How the British Invented Communism and Blamed the Jews which is a really, really good book. And he goes through this entire history... Wow! That's a great title It's fantastic how they started the Bolshevik, the Brits sparked the Bolshevik revolution blamed it on the Jews How Churchill was writing about this in the 20s and it was in fact Churchill who inspired Hitler

1:17:52 to for a lot of what he wrote in Mein Kampf. And he has, he has a new book coming out titled How the British Kill Our Presidents which I'm excited to read particularly Lincoln is where he starts so he was on the... Oh you know I like the Lincoln theory I've always had this belief that It was either the British or the French that were behind the assassination of Lincoln. But thinking it's the British, which I never considered makes a lot of sense considering he was an actor with a British background. Yes! He has an actor, of course! A stage actor which are typically all you know...that's British

1:18:36 that killed him so it makes some sense. Now I have to read this guy, why don't you read and summarize? Okay well just prop it into chat GPT and give you a summary with nice little icons next every chapter So this is a piece from this interview and I suggest everyone listen to this guy. He's all over the place, but the Gold Goats & Guns podcast had him on and this is where he now was going through the British in the French Revolution But first he sets up this concept which I think is brilliant because it feels so old yet so current how the British

1:19:20 invented the whole idea of using NGOs. It's very clear that the British had set up a massive infrastructure, what we would now call them NGOs supposedly independent groups which had been created by citizens and were not supposedly run by the government. But these were groups which had such names as the London Revolution Society, The London Correspondent Society... And this is what they did with with the French Revolution, with these NGOs. The French liberals, the ones who got... the French intellectuals who got behind the revolution they worshiped these British reformers, these English groups that were pushing for Republican Revolution all over the world and the French naively just adopted this British program

1:20:21 really kind of worshiped these people to the point where the French started an emulation of these British groups. The French started their own parallel groups with similar names, there was a revolutionary society in Paris that they created and then they created these Jacobin clubs they called them. The British did the same thing to the French that they later did to Russia They recruited all the liberals, they used the liberals to give them an in, to give their agents and operatives into the French government, into the French elite. And then they betrayed the French people by giving them an extremely illiberal government and a bloodbath

1:21:13 It sounds so believable. Just, I love it and of course... It does! It sounds really believable and it explains a lot And same goes for secret societies These 1848 revolutions were personally masterminded by Lord Palmerston He was really setting all the policy The foreign policy and he was running this tremendous spy network All over Europe and also America The cover for his spy network was a network of, sometimes called secret societies. Alright and so here's this final clip where Luongo also kind of latches on to... hold on a second! The first one is called Young Italy it was formed by an Italian revolutionary named Giuseppe Mazzini who was a British agent And he started Young Italy which was supposed to organize

1:22:06 revolution in Italy and moving towards the unification of Italy, which was a British goal. They wanted to unify Italy to be a counterweight against the influence of France and Austria. And after young Italy, Mazzini then found a young Europe and then started creating spinoff groups in every country. Young France, young Germany, young Poland there was a young England and there was a young America And I show in my book that it was from this Young America branch of the Mazzini network, that the whole conspiracy to cause the Civil War, to cause the secession and then ultimately to kill Lincoln all came out of this Young America group.

1:22:54 I love it. It makes so much sense and you know, it's the same system we see today We've got NGOs everywhere now a lot of that's been cleaned up because the funding got cut off We also have you know, the secret societies there still the Pilgrim Society out there You know, you gotta wonder Carlson well that you know, I've been trying to get confirmation on that. I can't There's been a lot of accusations and there are lots of ex-posts on it. But the Pilgrim Society is kind of the same idea, one of those secret societies... And the whole idea is to move the British agenda forward of global domination I even wonder about Elon sometimes The British always had this idea of let's create a super state of all the English speaking nations

CHAPTER 13 / 34 Discussion

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying on Podcasting Origins

A clip from Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying's podcast features a discussion on the origins of podcasting, which Adam Curry critiques for historical inaccuracy. Curry explains the technical development of the enclosure tag in RSS with Dave Winer in 2003 as the true birth of the medium. The segment uses this as an example of the "Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect," where experts in one field provide unreliable information on subjects outside their expertise.

bret weinstein· heather heying· joe rogan· gell-man amnesia effect· rss· dave winer

1:23:52 And I think Elon floated that a while back ago and just out of the blue, he's like hey shouldn't we make just one big statement? Everyone who speaks English is like okay. Yeah Elon's a suspect But so the bottom line is it doesn't matter whether its podcasts or whether its the BBC you really can't trust any of it and you shouldn't trust us either although I would say we'd be really happy if we got some secret society NGO money thats not in the cards But there's also, we place so much importance on people as experts. And this is where the... Yeah that's where it well I discovered this i think about 10 years ago in the show I mentioned this I went to an event head by Edelman

1:24:37 Edelman PR, yes. Edelman PR the big boys and they gave a long speech about trustworthiness and voices of trust And I watched the whole thing it was live presentation and they had a slideshow It all turned out to be that most trusted voices come from NGOs There it is! That's...and I'm sure that they said that for reason Yeah you can trust these guys And so that's where you have a lot of NGOs representing, or various organizations and they go to so-and-so from such and such society says this. Here he is. Yes. He has blurts out something there when oh okay well it's like you pointed out one time the phony baloney surveys and some of the research done paid for by the guy who wants to survey in a certain way. You keep paying money until somebody does it right yes

1:25:34 So, then we have and I'm just pointing this out as a public service to our listeners. You have the Gelman-Amnesia effect which needs to be brought up from time to time and this is because I saw Brett Weinstein on The Joe Rogan Podcast. I didn't actually see the podcast, I saw the clips everywhere and the clip would say like Expert says, you know, COVID was a hoax. Okay fine whatever expert says you know and like expert expert and yeah sure wine bread boy and I like Brett Weinstein i've never met him but you know he seems like a nice enough guy I love the podcast that he does with Heather because just because of how Heather talks

1:26:15 And to prove the Gelman amnesia effect, which you always need to see it this way. If if you are reading a newspaper and an article shows up of something you are absolutely an expert in... ...and everyone's an expert in something, I'd be like huh that's not entirely right or they got that wrong or boy this is a load of crap! I have that often with aviation stuff and other things You should not believe the story next to it. That's the amnesia like oh, but this this has got to be true if I'm reading it over here So just and this is not to pick on Brett and Heather that Yeah, let me read you there in the overview definition of gel man is two words. Yeah galen and hyphenated The gellman Amnesia effect is a cognitive bias

1:27:09 where individuals readily recognize inaccuracy in media reports on subjects they know well, but then forget this unreliability and accept as true other articles in the same publication on topics in which they're not experts. Exactly! And it was coined by Michael Crichton... Who they killed? Yeah, well somebody died prematurely. He died early and he died too young for sure. Sudden death. So here they are there on episode 300 this is just yesterday and Tina sent me this link and I normally would not bring it up but in this context it's great because I am one expert in something very specific. I'm an expert in the origins of podcasting

1:27:58 Would you say I would think I would agree with that so when I hear these two experts You know speaking this way. I have to question everything else that they talk about again not picking on them I like them, and I like the show I love how Heather talks yeah, and I just actually just wanted to It turns out uh-huh you'll hear in a moment She used to be on American Life. This is not the sort of thing that I tend to. In fact, at the point that podcasts started being a thing and... I don't even know when it would have been maybe early teens? Early teens how about 2003 right you know at some point

1:28:59 I mean, there had been things that weren't called podcasts for a long time. I remember actually recording episodes of This American Life in the 90s and taking them with me to Madagascar so that I could listen to them. I remember recording This American Life on a cassette and taking it to Madagascar, really the early form of podcasting. So it's really all that just came around in the teens. Sort of long-form conversations... Wait what does she have to drink? What Does the price of bread have to do with her trip to Madagascar? I was expecting you say, um...I was on my way to Doha. But I went to... Yes, I had a meeting with it with the sheikh Went to Madagascar first

1:29:49 Yes, that was called a radio show that we recorded on a cassette. But yes this is pre-dates podcasting from what was it the teens? For a long time I remember actually recording episodes of This American Life in the 90's and taking them with me to Madagascar so that i could listen to them. So sort of you know long form conversations in that case highly scripted and beautifully put together Well, that's not a podcast. What? It had been going on for a long time but I remember you making a joking comment to me at some point in the early teens about how... Early teens! That was when podcasting started. Early teens. Podcasting had to be last on my list of things I would ever want to do since I prefer it now to be... Here it comes. ...in front of camera and just kind of riffing.

1:30:41 Okay, let me just give you the abbreviated version of history when I convinced Dave Weiner in 2000 to put the enclosure tag into RSS. And it actually worked for several years, but there was nothing until I saw the first iPod and then created a script that basically put a recorded MP3 file onto your iPod. And instead of a song... And the album was the show title instead of the album title. That was the birth of podcasting in 2003 and it wasn't until probably about two years later that a guy came along and said, hey why don't we call it podcasting? It wasn't that idiot from the

1:31:33 the newspaper. But anyway, he says he did but it doesn't matter these are the experts and they're about to tell you the origins of podcasting so I don't know what the date was possible we could look it up but I believe the initial podcast is Adam Curry The Podfather and the initial podcast in the universe yeah I think so this is interesting So first of all He skipped over the entire creation of the whole mechanism because it wasn't just a recording on the internet. You know, the RSS feed was key to this so... Yeah but that's a detail they're never going to get Well but its incorrect and what I like about is that somehow somewhere we have indoctrinated Heather's mind That The No Agenda Show is the best podcast in the universe

1:32:32 Because she says, oh yeah that was the first podcast in the universe. We have infected her! We are inside her brain somewhere. Possibly because look at that. Well somehow it got in there and got scrambled because obviously this is going back to the gel man amnesia concept This is how it works you get this information It's a mishmash One of things I have to say to people who listen to our show is that we are susceptible to this too. Absolutely! But we have nothing but feedback, we get tons of it We look at it all, we sifted and we change, we make corrections and we try

1:33:11 We try to reflect reality as best we can. I think better than anybody else, to be honest about it. And that's because we have thousands and thousands of producers. Of producers! And we have them online live as we speak? Yep That allowed Adam to sound funny... ...because he steals the material from the chatroom?! I do! It's not stealing, it's given to me freely value for value He has writers on the fly, got writers in his ear By the way, I did a radio show in Canada once And it was, I forgot the name of it. It was very famous at the time and the entire hosts of this show, this radio show...it wasn't televised but it was, I don't believe

1:33:52 But the host had IFBs in and as they spoke, spontaneously they had producers in the back telling them what to say and what to ask. Yes here's your line for this is... Which you mock all the time on this show which it's a funny bit, it's hilarious nobody else seems able to do this gag but this actually does happen that did you have it to an extreme there looking stuff up and making the guy sound smart Well, Heather doesn't have that. But I am obviously... I think it was the Podfather So i don't know what the date was It's possible we could look at 2003 I believe the initial podcast is Adam Curry I'm the initial podcast just so you know You are the podcast Yes he's the initial podcast

1:34:44 The podfather. Yes, come and initial podcast in the universe versus the way she said the initial podcasts in the universe. Yes, the initial yeah nice botch there but it's we're in her head were in her head somebody is in their head. Yeah. The initial podcast in the universe. Yeah, I think so it's at least the first place that it was called that obviously you're right there are precursors No! Now see this is my point. This is a freewheeling way that you know Beatles movies are sort of precursors to modern music videos I'm the Beatles of podcasting. This is what i like and this is where it gets crazy. It was called that obviously you're right there are precursors in the same way that you know Beatles movies are sort of precursors to modern music videos if modern music videos are even still a thing And this is where I'm living in her head rent-free

1:35:37 He, uh... he used to be on MTV. MTV is either about to or has gone off the air Yeah, he was on MTV don't you remember? Apparently nobody wanted their MTV I ran into that recently yeah and like with a whimper apparently no one has noticed Yes well it makes sense people have moved onto other stuff But did they just ramble- You like his podcast you said?! I like them! They're just rambling about meaningless drivel Oh boy, oh boy. Anyway, let me play this last bit. How did we get from the Nexus to these two? I don't know it was...I had to take a departure. You transitioned you caught me off guard! I'm completely flat-footed in how you pulled that one off. I'll take you back and I'll finish it up yeah I'm gonna wind up here with with the end of the North Sea nexus as we go back to the British controlling everything. You talk about them you know the revolutions of 1848 and all I could think of was the Arab Spring under Obama

CHAPTER 14 / 34 Discussion

Farmers' Almanac Correction and Media Accuracy

The hosts issue a correction regarding the status of the Farmers' Almanac, noting that the "Old Farmer's Almanac" remains in print after 234 years. This follows a previous segment where it was incorrectly suggested the publication had ceased. The correction highlights the importance of distinguishing between competing historical brands in the publishing industry.

farmers' almanac· old farmer's almanac· fake news· corrections

1:36:38 Like, it's the same thing. I mean we know... Right? We know the Muslim Brotherhood is a city of London creation and we know all these things and they're doing- they're running the same playbook here in the United States right now. Exactly! There you go more to come just stay tuned! The North Sea Nexus Report with Adam Curry. What about me? Why are you left out of the jingle? Well, because... There's another example ladies and gentlemen I didn't create the jingle Was it Judith what's her name Judith who wrote earlier Heather? Heather! No wasn't Heather Oh no oh i'm sorry um Julie Julie good old Julie Julie keep noticing

1:37:32 By the way, as a correction because we do get corrected and we attempt to make these corrections. The news about the Farmers' Almanac was wrong it appears that there were more than one Farmers' Almanacs. Didn't we mention this? The old farmers almanac, the almanac... No! This came in after the show The old farm... the OG original Farmers' Almanac has been in print and continues strong after 234 years at almanac.com The younger upstart only reached 208 years Fake news!

1:38:13 That's from Scott who works for a publisher that handles distribution. Okay, this came in I remember it because you talked about it after the show because you got to note yeah yeah I brought it up on Horowitz' show Yeah! Because he had the same story and I luckily had the old Farmer's Almanac anecdote in tow yes so I got to drop it on him and then oh okay whatever Yes Yeah, it was fake news. But what was so bold? Oh geez! Okay let's switch gears for a moment I'll try not to bore you the clips are short oh you don't okay so what you've done this is like that you might not think this is funny

CHAPTER 15 / 34 Discussion

Al Gore at COP30 and Climate Bomb Metaphors

At the COP30 climate summit, Al Gore repeated his metaphor comparing global warming heat retention to the energy of atomic bombs. Gore claimed the atmosphere traps heat equivalent to 750,000 Hiroshima-class bombs every 24 hours. The hosts note that this figure has remained static in Gore's rhetoric since 2024, jokingly suggesting that global warming has "leveled off."

al gore· cop30· climate change· hiroshima bombs· global warming

1:38:56 You've set yourself up to fail. No, you'll like it you'll like this because I know when I say COP 30 Yes climate change so just just to get a little update because there's some very interesting news here Al Gore presented at COP30 and He still has kind of a baby face even though he's got to be What is he now, 75? 76? I think he's about 89. No! Yeah... no....no let's see how old is... I'll guess 78. Uh 78 sounds right um 77 close all right so here he is here's his pitch and here we are at COP 30 which is kind of a full circle moment and of course the purpose is to deal with the climate

1:39:51 crisis and this thin blue shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet is so thin it's only five to seven kilometers thick, because that's where the oxygen is. And we are using it as an open sewer for 175 million tons of man-made global warming pollution spewed into it every single day It adds up, it lingers there in the accumulated amount today will trap us much extra heat as would be released by 750,000 first generation atomic bombs exploding on the earth every 24 hours. Well now this is why I brought this up because we have been tracking this

1:40:31 We have the number of bombs that were simultaneously every day. In 2015 it was 400 Hiroshima bombs if you recall as would be released by 400,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs. 400,000 we just got the update it is 750 thousand but wait That's the same number as 2024! We're building up the amount of heat trapping capacity so much that today... Today? We trapped as much extra heat

1:41:10 as would be released by 750,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs. So it's stable! We're leveling off so this is good news I don't see why Al hasn't said this we have remained at 750,000 Hiroshima nuclear bombs so I found this to be encouraging That's your COP 30 update. There was also Newsom down there moaning about stuff. Oh, he was moaning about all kinds of stuff I know So i'm thinking that the uh because in the newsletter I discussed the idea that this whole shutdown was just a scam to get these Democrats elected and Schumer

CHAPTER 16 / 34 Discussion

Chuck Schumer and 2028 Democratic Strategy Speculation

Speculation regarding Democratic Party strategy suggests Chuck Schumer may orchestrate a "sacrificial lamb" ticket for the 2028 presidential election featuring Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The theory posits that this would remove AOC as a primary threat to Schumer's Senate seat while allowing the party to reset after a potential economic downturn. The discussion characterizes Schumer as a highly capable political operator despite his public persona.

chuck schumer· gavin newsom· aoc· 2028 election· political strategy

1:42:02 Schumer did it was behind the whole thing is behind the whole thing stopping and they but he's being Condemned from what because you can't admit. He did that cuz it looks no, that would be bad. No be better Yes, so he has to suffer but he knows The ropes he's not a you know people think he's just some dumb shit ease Know this guy is not the head of the Senate because he's a dummy And so he knows the ropes, and he knows it'll blow over and he can put up with it. There's nobody waiting in the wings to take his job as minority leader there is not one person anyone can name. The guys who could do like Dick Durbin are on his side and they're behind doing these schemes So nothing going on there...and I thought about this

1:42:44 And I thought that there is a threat in 2028 that AOC will run against him when he's up for re-election and everyone keeps saying, oh she's going to take his job because the progressives have got a hold on the party and blah blah blah. Take his job! So i'm thinking... And I didn't discuss this part in the newsletter, but i'm thinking about it. Yeah? Is that he has to derail her because he doesn't need the aggravation of getting unseated by a dumb shit like her and so here's what...I think the scheme is the following

1:43:22 The Republicans know they're going to have nothing unless they can crash the economy before the end of 28, which is doable. But I don't think it can accomplish it because Trump's pretty good at keeping things running. they're gonna have to put up a weak sister candidate and hope that can crash the economy after the next president which will probably be J.D. Banz. Wait, hold on a second why do they want to crash the economy? Because then they'll get votes if the Republicans are in power and the economy goes crazy this is what happened to George HW Bush when he was for

1:43:57 first term as president, he came in right after Reagan. He should have been re-elected but they managed to crash the economy for just a blip just before the election and he had to increase taxes and they threw all the read my lips stuff and all the rest of it because you know he said read my lips no new taxes and then he had to raise taxes because the economy was being tanked by the Democrats so he raised taxes and they threw that in his face And then he of course threw up in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister. That was fantastic! Excuse me, I gotta throw up so let me throw up in your lap and somebody gave him something...I'm sure it was poison to have someone throw up. Oh yeah. So they set him up and got rid of him

1:44:43 And, you know the guy was just that he's a sucker. So they wanted... so that's what the Democrats like to do. Oh you said the Democrats like to crash the economy? Yeah! I thought you said Republicans No no no, the Democrats because that gets them back in power. Ah okay. That's only way they can get back in power Got it. So there they're gonna have to eat eat it for if JD Vance or Rubio becomes the next president. And they know that they won't be able to defeat anybody if Trump stays in office and manages to get things on track, so they're going to have to run and this would be Schumer again

1:45:23 They're gonna have to run a loser for... Oh, another Kamala. A sacrificial lamb is going to have to be at the top of the ticket and that is Newsom who is this best... Who do you want to put him in as vice president to balance the ticket? An East Coast person to balance the California ticket? A woman, because you have to have a woman. You're Democrat and he might as well go with... Because Whitey here running for president... So put AOC next to him? Yeah. Newsome-AOC so you got the ethnic... Wait a minute! No wait wait wait this show has to end sometime I mean if they're running on a ticket in 2028 we have to continue

1:46:10 That'll be it'll be so much fun. You pass the election that's easy enough, but but the neither of us gets out of this gig alive is what I've determined well died on a mic so So they're gonna run it'll be new some AOC ticket is a loser Gets AOC out of the picture for running against Schumer's got to be tired at a certain point. How old is that guy? I don't know, you know Maybe he should retire but he doesn't seem interested He is currently 70 74

1:46:48 Yeah, but he's got some spunk left in him. He can get to 80 I mean look at Pelosi she went 83 82 84 something like that and she still is in she's not running again she says but she had a couple of cycles ago no see I think this is really it she's really out yeah she broke her hip I think that the trick hurt that's painful so Schumer will orchestrate this Oh, that makes sense. Schumer orchestrates a Newsom AOC ticket as great!

1:47:27 That's great. Do you have a clip to go with this or are you just throwing that out there? No, this is all speculation nobody wants to give Schumer credit for anything He's like he sidelined the guy and he acts like a doofus And in fact, he's running his show but then yeah Just these one of those guys who does it so slickly and oh I don't know. I'm just a big dummy no He's not dummy. He's no dummy It's too bad that the shutdown ended because it was just getting good in the media. Listen to this Nat Pop I got, this is from Reuters and this is unbelievable what they did! They went out you know went out to find some SNAP benefits recipients who of course are starving. 11 year old Cynthia Miller at The Food Bank with his grandmother places his blame squarely with the president

CHAPTER 17 / 34 Discussion

Government Funding Bill and Senatorial Payout Clause

Representative Austin Smith of Georgia highlighted a controversial clause in a recent government funding bill that allows Senators to sue for $500,000 in damages if their phone records were subpoenaed during the January 6th investigation. The legislation creates a private cause of action specifically for lawmakers, which critics describe as a taxpayer-funded payout. The provision has drawn ire from House members whose records were also seized but were excluded from the compensation.

1:48:18 Trump, why are you starving the kids? I'm hungry and we have to get boxes from the food bank. This is a scripted kid. This is the clip, but that is the clip of the day right there I thought you would say Let's listen to that kid one more time Trump why are you starving the kids? And we have to get boxes from the food bank oh man And of course we'll get, you guys are horrible. You're laughing about hungry people. Oh we're not going to get that much fun. That kid was scripted he's a phony! That kid was a phony! Now there is something rather troubling again from Reuters British outfits so take it for what its worth

1:49:15 which was also brought up by Representative Austin Smith of Georgia. I'll play the Reuters report first. The funding bill being voted on includes a clause that would let Republican senators sue for half-a-million dollars for damages related to the January 6th probe It would apply to eight lawmakers whose phone records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation into the 2021 Capitol riot Democrats are calling it a taxpayer-funded payout. And it sure seems like this is tax funded, uh...pay out

1:49:51 Which is, and this is like a mandatory thing. Here's Austin Smith Republican of Georgia talking about it I was very excited about coming back to Washington DC to vote to open the government back up And then when I saw what the Senate did last night... I had a hard night Yeah I've been struggling with what the right vote is because of what the Senate did And I want to just tell you, because I want the American citizens to be able read it. You can start at page 217 of the legislation where it says requiring Senate notification for disclosure of Senate data and there's a lot with respect tos and other things in the first pages but when you get over to page 223 you'll see where they've created private cause of action specifically for them. It goes on and it says that cause of action

1:50:45 And this is on page 224. Any senator whose Senate data or the Senate data of whose Senate office has been acquired, subpoenaed, searched, accessed or disclosed in violation of this section may bring a civil action against the United States if the violation was committed by an officer, employer agent in the United States or any federal department of agency relief center prevails on a claim of the subjection court shall not may shall award for each instance of a violation this section the greater off not the lesser off the greater

1:51:21 of statutory damages of $500,000 are the amount of actual damages reasonable attorney fees cost litigation and it goes on from there. And there's other language in here too that indicates that each line would be an additional payment And so most of us as members have a campaign phone, a campaign email, a personal phone, a personal email and then a business phone and a business email. That's six violations the way they count it if they went for all of them. Six! Minimum $500,000 apiece Yeah I don't like that Well Luna came on one of the shows

1:52:06 yesterday and she voted for the bill but she also bitched about this. She said because the house had a number of people whose records were lifted Also, and also a bunch of organizations had their records lifted illegally. Also... And none of them are listed in the payout? Right! So if you're gonna like steal from the government coffers You might at least can just pass it around a little bit? A lot of people were irked about this No kidding It is irksome, I agree. Yeah! I don't like that at all. No, I don't know who'd slip that in. Sounds like a Lindsey Graham thing... It does! By the way, just got to note that the Republicans will be doing a midterm convention

New York City Mayor-Elect Ron Mamdani Appointments

New York City Mayor-elect Ron Mamdani announced his first major appointments, selecting veterans from the Bill de Blasio administration for key roles. Dean Fuleihan will serve as first deputy mayor, a position he previously held under de Blasio. Critics suggest that bringing back the former administration's team indicates a lack of new direction for the city's management.

ron mamdani· new york city· bill de blasio· dean fuleihan· city hall

1:52:59 That's interesting. Yeah, I think that's Trumps idea of course it's trumps idea that show me show business baby yeah because is because they note that during the conventions they cuz everyone knows this has been people known to since this 50s and 60s since television came around that they have one of these conventions and everyone gets a speak and they make a big fuss and everyone gets all jerk jacked up waver flange end up with the ratings for the party go up yeah course So the Democrats will have to follow suit. Yeah, well they're a little behind the ball They got to hurry up. They may not you know they make it may take them a cycle to come up to speed yeah Yep Let's see what else do we have? Well what do I have a little update on New York about mom Donnie

1:53:56 He's been announcing some of the people he is going to bring into his administration. You hear about this? I know he has a woman crew for his transition team. Yeah, that's window dressing. And then he is begging for money. Check this out. Breaking news! Mayor-Elect Ron Mahmdani is making his first major appointment announcing Dean Fullian as his first deputy mayor. seasoned government veteran who previously served as former Mayor Bill de Blasio's budget director and later as first deputy mayor. Mamdani also named El Bisgard Church, his longtime chief of staff at the State Assembly to that same role at City Hall

1:54:40 In his announcement at Hunter College, Mr. Mamdani said the appointments would help him build a powerful and competent administration that delivers an affordable livable city for working people. Mamdani takes office January 1st. There you go! The de Blasio team? Yep yep the de Blasio team yeah well it's better than nothing At least they got someone in there They're the worst They know how it works at least That's kind of good Yeah, actually they do need somebody who knows how it works because he doesn't. Yeah obviously Hey you know I... We had the Department of War guy over again on Tuesday night Remember when I told you that we met some new people and they are with the He works for... he was furloughed of course And he works for the Department of War in the Modern Weapons department

CHAPTER 19 / 34 Discussion

Modern Warfare and Drone Swarm Technology

A conversation with a contact from the "Department of War" suggests that future conflicts will shift entirely toward urban warfare dominated by drone swarms. The scenario describes hundreds of thousands of small drones being deployed in cities like San Francisco to target individuals inside buildings. This technological shift is framed as the end of traditional field battles between opposing infantries.

department of war· drones· urban warfare· san francisco· china

1:55:43 Yeah, yeah you mentioned him on the show. Yeah so I'm like so what are you making? Can't tell me anything but what do you think? What are they making? Yeah what do you think? It has something to do with drones all drones all drones and So I threw out there oh yeah You know this stuff in Europe and he said this is obviously a sales job He just gives me a look He couldn't say anything. No, of course not! He's signed off on things he's not gonna tell you... It's all drone anti-drone

1:56:21 I'm like, really? Can't one ICBM do more damage? Yeah yeah but we're no longer going to be... Let me see if i can get this right the way he said it. No longer will there be two teams in the field lobbying grenades and shooting at each other He says its all gonna be urban warfare You had drones flying around the city, busting into windows and then coming up and blowing people's heads off. Yeah exactly! And there was a... I got this from a Dutch producer shows a drone flying around Holland and it crashed well it turns out it was just the American drone that the Dutch military was flying around little rocket tube like shaped drone with wings and a propeller on the back

1:57:12 Everyone's flying. When did this happen? When did war just become about drones other than I guess all wars are going to be fought in cities, urban warfare really is that good reason not to live in a city by the way yeah Is that the future? That doesn't sound great... To me Well let's see if you took it like for example the City of San Francisco has got a population just under it's around 1 million I think its lowest was 750 and it's probably a million. And you have all these office buildings, and you want to attack the city, you take... China is known to have like a million drones. You go in, you drop them, you fly over or somehow you bring them over in cargo containers that come through the Port of Oakland. They're not radioactive so they go through- Then you release the Kraken!

1:58:07 and you open the doors, and you send them all off. You sent hundreds and hundreds of thousands say you take 500 thousand of them and send them to San Francisco or you've opened crates in San Francisco so they don't have to fly too far because it run out electricity. And that's what they fly over there and they bust into all the windows in the Bank of America building, they just crash everything they can. Bust up the place and have little explosions and blow up everybody they can. And then you're just... They do a little swarm and cool little show in the air? Then they fly off. Yeah actually the whole room go under there and they form a visual thumbs-up sign with the drones at the end. They make it move up and down, thumbs up

CHAPTER 20 / 34 Discussion

Value for Value Model and Streaming Service Frustrations

The hosts discuss the longevity of their "value for value" funding model, which has sustained the show for over 18 years. They contrast this with the increasing costs and fragmented nature of commercial streaming services like Amazon Prime and Netflix. A specific complaint is raised regarding "Wonder Life," a new add-on subscription required to watch certain series on Prime, which the hosts characterize as a consumer trap.

value for value· podcasting 2.0· amazon prime· netflix· streaming subscriptions

1:58:56 you know, crap out and fall all over the place. Probably kill more people as they're coming down." What a great future! That's gotta be it I mean what else is there? Well that's it... We're not gonna have any more wars. President Trump stopped all the wars man we've got one more to go eight out of nine he's going for a full nine so it's all gonna happen but first I need to thank you for your courage and see in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in causes and candidates. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr John C! Good morning, we're here with a credit of Marsha with sea boots on the ground feet near subs in the water all the names are nice out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room let me count ya hold on I'm sticking my leg up. 1583

1:59:51 There's our trolls. Welcome trolls, thank you for being there we appreciate it We love you guys being here It's fantastic They are listening at no agenda stream calm someone sent me a note who says hey mom when I go to know agenda stream Calm and says join the troll room and friends of mine don't want to look at that They're like afraid of it but well then maybe you need new friends what yeah? I know it says join the troll room oh And then people are like, oh. And they're scary so scary there might be trolls there. Oh no! There's trolls in them troll rooms and we love those trolls are there for a reason that they're to hang out with us but we don't want people that are afraid of the troll room No, of course not it makes no sense

2:00:39 The trolls are there and you can join them at noagendastream.com or get one of those modern podcast apps at podcastappsplural.com Many of them there are useful, and the ones we like are the ones like Fountain and Podverse and Podcast Guru and True Fans Anyone that gives you a live listen link and a notification That's the kind of stuff you want because then you just have this in your pocket and normally listen to your podcast whenever you feel like it, but we have so many shows on no agenda stream that go live. You'll get a notification and if you can't listen live No problem Because when we publish the show within 90 seconds, you will get a notification that the show has been published Why wait around on your legacy podcast app? It makes no sense

2:01:29 Get one of those modern ones and support those developers too by upgrading for their premium service like three bucks a month. Help them out We have been running this show value for value for over 18 years What Tina and I were talking the other day about friendship, and I said it's quite unbelievable That John and I have been together for over eighteen years And we know exactly, and I said...and I know. But I know that if it really came down to it If something was drastically wrong, I could call you and you'd show up Probably Yeah probably! Probably would show up? Yeah yeah, depends It depends on how bad- what is the crisis? You know, can't get me off- Well it depends on the crisis, if yours like had a stubbed toenail or something then who cares

2:02:26 You know, I got a birthday party. Okay good for you." Straight up there it is that's how it works! Yeah well we're gonna go four more years minimum we keep saying it but it's true four more years So as a part of this... It's ludicrous. We're at gun smoke level now! I know, even to the- Although it turns out that I was looking at the overnights, looking at the trades. The overnights yes And I'm looking at these streams and it turns out that the Gunsmoke show is now showing up in the streams as a rate like in the top 15 or something You know this would not surprise me because there is so much crap

2:03:10 And here's the trick that the streamers are doing. This really made me mad, so Amazon bought MGM Studios which I think was an interesting purchase you know they get their content library and they get access as real into Hollywood and then they get to studio They get the studio and so they created House of David which i'm pretty sure they created that after success of The Chosen And you know, the third great awakening. The season of reveal. The revival that I believe we're in and so... Yeah. That's all right don't worry it'll come to your door So House of David which is about King David and it's really well produced high-end lot of blood a lot of killing kind of follows the story of Samuel then it's fun to watch. So the first season dynamite okay

2:04:04 And then, oh here's the second season. And I said okay let's go get this watch the second season and now if you want to watch it you have to get a new subscription from something called Wonder Life or something? Hold on lemme find out what this is called Yes, hey wait a minute we're paying big dough exactly prime By the way for people out there that don't know this when primed Services first started it was 75 bucks a month. What is it? I'm sorry no 75 bucks a year flat fee yeah And they jack it up and jack it up. This is what Netflix is doing, everyone if you follow the markets, Netflix is up outrageously high priced and all the analysts are going well, you know? The one thing they can always do to boost their earnings like a Jack up the price at some point people gonna say no

2:04:55 Yeah, here it is. So now it requires an additional fee on top of the Prime membership for this Wonder Life thing whatever it is I'm trying to find out what its actually called so yeah you have to... It's a new streaming service and like well okay so they have the first six episodes we'll watch all six real quick And then it's like, oh well the next one is coming next Sunday. And then episode 8 will be the Sunday after that which traps you into your free tier of 7 days on this crazy streaming service I don't even want! It actually resisted watching for a bit. You should just give up...

2:05:38 Boycott! Well this shows I tried watching that show. It's unwatchable it's not for you, it's not for heathens definitely not have to be saved this is not for you Oh please churches are for sinners Like your'e not a sinner? Okay All right. Yes, you heard it here. I already hear right ladies like pride before a great fall my friend And those is no pride involved yeah all right so you got too much. I'm staying home You know this so anyway Just your thoughts are sinful just by the way blood to you maybe By the way there will be a meetup. I will be out of the house on the 15th in November This coming Saturday as a matter of fact

CHAPTER 21 / 34 Discussion

No Agenda Meetups and Art Submissions

John C. Dvorak announces an upcoming meetup at the Mallard Club in Albany, California. The discussion covers recent listener art submissions, including a "New Yorkistan" piece by Jeffrey Rhea. The hosts also warn producers against using copyrighted imagery, such as Minions from Despicable Me, in their AI-generated art submissions to avoid legal complications.

mallard club· jeffrey rhea· minions· copyright· meetups

2:06:26 this coming Saturday. And I would hope that some of our local listeners, and there's a bunch of them show up because they didn't die. They showed up very well. It was mediocre presentation of people last time we did the Mallard Club for people who haven't been to the Mallard club it is fashioned after a a hunting lodge inside with a bunch of heads and dead ducks and things like that. And please, I want all our producers to go there and pray for John That's what I want. Go there. You can pray for me not by going...I want you to buy me a beer Churches for sinners? I think that's true! That's probably a good statement churches for sinners Yes, of course we're all sinners

2:07:13 One way you can help us is by going to a meetup, by organizing a meetup. Bringing a tithe to your meetup to support the show that's always very very welcome. Using an envelope? Yes it's good to put in an envelope with your notes so it doesn't get confused we try there's a lot of administration. A lot of administration with this show And another way is by producing things for us. We have lots of end-of-show slop for you today, some good ones actually very... Oh no! Today's dynamite Yeah we got some really good they're not all AI by the way Not all the one you like is definitely a I and I thought it was just phenomenal this close to I like I liked a stray cats clone yeah and I liked the techno stuff You love the techno stuff

2:08:01 I do. Would you go to a concert by Tiësto? No, never. Oh okay because i could get you in. I could get you up on the DJ booth Yeah...I don't have any interest in that With your glow sticks! And I like techno to listen to when I'm on an airplane because it puts me out Okay thats interesting Another way is by supporting us with artwork and we have as we discussed earlier no agenda art generator comm which is a We can upload your art, and it's you know. We still have original artists They're still lurking And we still choose them from time to time but Jeffrey Rhea who typically comes in with very orange washed out slop did a pretty good one and He created the Noah gender currying Dvorak farmers almanac, and it was a decent image we both

2:08:56 Thought it's we both liked it. Yeah, it stood out It you like the monochrome sometimes and that worked there because it had an old-fashioned quality Monochrome does that mm-hmm? And he's overdue yeah, we both commented on this to each other He's overdue guy does so much work. Yeah, and you know hard I And you bitch and moan constantly about it. I mean, the guy might... I'm surprised that guy still submits. And so he finally gave us this piece. Excellent piece! Of course. Let me see was there anything else? I kind of like the uh no wait a minute now there wasn't much else was there

2:09:34 No, I mean. I did like the coach Joe did another comic thing that liked but again It doesn't make any sense is pretty yeah I like New Yorkistan was also Jeffrey Rhea and you thought it was too simplistic which probably was Yeah, no, I mean it still takes a good idea no matter what your child do I want to mention something here This is probably gonna be the way we think about this just Aaron 8, submitted a whole bunch of funny pieces that use images of these little characters that were in Despicable Me with the minions. Yes! They probably are copy written images that we can't use without getting sued by Disney Yeah so we're not going to do that

2:10:26 So you have to be careful about the imagery you use, even if it was the AI that created it. Somebody has bitched about AI creating minion imagery and they're gonna get sued for it. It's the people at the art systems So the final and our favorite way of you supporting us with value for value to keep us going, keep us going through the 2028 Schumer-induced Newsom AOC ticket. Bernie's got to fit in there somehow too. Well, he... No, Bernie will get promised. You know, Bernie is like... He's like... Bernie has something to do with it. He'll hit the sucker. He'll go along with it because he likes to get AOC in there. Yeah. He loves her. This an opportunity because you know somebody... I love the Schwarze girl! She's great. She's perfect. I love her. You have to work on that. I'm working on it. By the way, there is one thing worth watching on Netflix

2:11:26 The Eddie Murphy documentary. Oh really? Yeah, it's really good! Okay I will watch that. That is worth watching. I started watching the Diplomat again... Nah this third season is not that good. Yeah but I have to say in terms of comparing it to other shows It's one of the best paste. Yeah, it's like very slick in terms of quality product but the thing is so what? In the olden days when I was a kid they would produce 36 shows a season and then they take a couple months off for summer but now they produce 10 episodes eight episodes a year is like you know

CHAPTER 22 / 34 Discussion

Executive Producer Donations and Kraft Mac and Cheese

The show acknowledges major donations from "Sironimus of Dogpatch" and "Dame Catherine," the latter contributing via Bitcoin. Amidst the donor thank-yous, a news item is shared regarding Kraft's release of an apple pie-flavored mac and cheese available at Walmart. The hosts express disgust at the new product, labeling it a "nasty" take on a holiday classic.

sironimus of dogpatch· dame catherine· bitcoin· apple pie mac and cheese· walmart

2:12:11 Okay, well you put a lot of work into the eight episodes and so it's slick but you know it's that's cheating But that's about it. There isn't much else left So these are our producers we thank everybody $50 and above And will tell you where they're from and will tell you how much they supported this show with because we're unlike The Epstein people were very transparent here We have no babes in bikinis, but we do have people supporting us and at this point we'd like to thank people who are able support us with a little bit more. $200 or more? We will thank you! We'll also read your note... see a long one came in

2:12:51 And we'll give you a title because this is like, you know, it's worth it. It's like show business, like Hollywood what's left of it and We will give you the title Associate Executive Producer for $200 or above if you could do three hundred dollars or more. We'll read your note Well thank you profusely and we will give you the title of executive producer and these are real credits You could go to IMDB calm and he is go look at Dana Brunetti in His no agenda show, Associate Executive Producer credit is right at the top. It's right at the top of his list above House Of Cards is beautiful to watch so we've got some mega supporters today he's back! He's alive! We're happy to hear about it. Sironimus of Dogpatch and Lois Lobovia comes in all cash $3861 its code...we don't know exactly what it means did include two dollar bills?

2:13:43 Yes, three of them. For the six and a single I guess? No no no it was five and three twos is the 11 so you get to one. Oh interesting he always accompanies this with a very nice note. I don't think he's ever sent a $1 bill because he's not cheap. No it's not that it's because when they when they sent the pallet of money over to Iran It had all those $2 bills in it. There was no ones Got it As Sir Honorable Doug Patchen-Lowis Lebovia says, thank you to all producers and the two hosts that make this such an important source of information perspective and the best resource for media history in the universe. I don't think... That's true! What an endorsement In fact it was exhibited on today's show by Adam himself when he discussed the history of podcasting That is correct

2:14:41 And he poses a number of questions here, and I shall read them off. One will having an African Muslim mayor of New York City cause a drop in No Agenda listeners? Well, I don't see why that would happen. You know what, I think it would cause an increase Will he be compared to another Ugandan like Idi Amin That's possible. Well, Idi Amin was brought in by the CIA so... And? Your point? Will anti-Semite and anti Muslim fears grow among peace loving Christians? Yes! That fear is being bestowed upon Christians everywhere and I'm telling people hey knock it off yeah it's no good and this truly is

2:15:30 This is the next, let's bring all the believers together. Let's make them all afraid of the Muslims. Dearborn! Oh dearborn is being razzed at Mashari Allah! Don't worry I do not see that happening in America. Are anti-catholic fears in the offing? I think that's no. I don't think so will Trump replace Jimmy Kimmel as a show host with Donald live in 2029 Well, I'd watch it but not watch it But that's not happening now do producers know where Mali Sudan or the Sahel are and should they care? Yes yes, yes And they should I'm pretty sure our producers know where Molly Sudan and the Sahel aren't I don't know anybody that knows where site Sahel is

2:16:17 If you can pronounce that way. It's just a desert area out in the middle of nowhere between two countries Yeah, but this isn't it's like the Mojave Desert basically code This is code keep your eye on the Sahel Oh, that's an interesting point. Of course! What am I thinking? Yes. Only Know Agenda offers thoughtful insight into these and many more important issues ignored by the M5M sacrificing fortune to offer their perspective and information without advertiser censorship. Free and independent perspective supported by a vast resource of producers always matters and needs to be supported. No jingles no karma

2:16:59 Thank you. Thank you, thank you very much. Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia Not just for your donation but we love your probing questions And it's just good to know that you're alive Because sometimes are wondering like is he okay? Yes we do wonder Is he okay? We haven't heard from him because I feel like has a dangerous job whatever he does And, uh... He could be a Caterpillar salesman for all we know. Okay yeah keep on believing that I don't think so. Well it's possible! I don't think so. Which leaves you with a rather long note to read Yes i got is from Dame Catherine our crypto granny buddy. Crypto Granny? Bangkok. She's a very close associate of the show and she came here with the Rub-a-Lyzer donation Ah we need the jingle

2:17:50 India hang out Mike Standby 33 33 33 Rob Alizer out There you go the special 333 dot three three.

Even though it came in with the color check. Yeah because it came in strong. It's Bitcoin. Yeah, it is a bitcoin donation and she has been back and forth and back and forth about one thing or another And she's confused... not confused but she managed it because

2:18:28 donation last show too. Let's see what we can get a streak of rubbleizers going, she says for you Bitcoiners there is a bit of magic to find where on Stripe you can donate it's strike that we use no strikes strike dot yes right with the K yes and it's and it's on the know agenda donations calm me you click around you'll find the links yeah Hopefully John will clarify this in the future newsletters and Jay's been dicking around with that site to make it easier for people because apparently some people can't click. Well, the QR code is the easiest because of the way Bitcoin works Yeah but it's down below It's below the fold man! Below the fold! Move it up!

2:19:14 Want to thank you all for all your hard work over the years. I love hearing about your personal lives, and I don't know why but that's what she writes Adam finding the keeper and then Jesus and of course John's kids at the dinner table and Theodorable What are you teaching him now John? Yes? What are you teaching him? Thank you to Mimi for her work and her keeping John in line. That should be, I think she meant keeping John alive is what she means. Don't have a live baby!

I really enjoy it when you tickle my memories that make me smile yeah we do have a lot of these just called old stories When i was a kid

2:20:03 And she continues, I have loved the evolution from the ground up. The trolls, the boots on the ground podcasting 2.0, the meetups, the artists and give a shout out in special recognition to producers and background who do so much work you've touched so many people in very positive way This is a long note, but it's a Rebelizer donation. I would like to bestow these titles my son JD will be JD Knight of the River's Edge my adorable five-year old granddaughter Taylor will be Dame Taytay of Durango My super amazing daughter in law will be Dame Ashley Little Miss Sunshine I think they may also get a peace prize in which they richly deserve yes okay well we can do that

CHAPTER 23 / 34 Discussion

Bitcoin Satoshis and the End of the Penny

A donation of over one million Satoshis prompts a discussion on the declining utility of small currency, specifically the US penny. The hosts note that it now costs four cents to manufacture a single cent, leading to calls for its retirement. They also revisit a classic "donation strategy" involving the sight of a stop sign as a psychological trigger for listeners to contribute to the show.

2:23:44 Did we not? Didn't have a half penny. No, no that's England We never had a half penny I think... are you sure? I'm pretty sure. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure There was a hay penny it used to be called and that was a British coin Did the USA ever have... I'm looking at half penny okay let me see and Half cent yes! Half cent You're wrong Dvorak That can happen. It was first minted in 1793, last minted in 1857 at that time it had purchasing power equivalent to between 12 and 17 cents in 2024 money

2:24:24 Yeah, it's actually probably more than that. Well if you can find one it's probably worth a lot of money. The real reason for cutting this thing out is that it costs four cents to make one cent Right Oh, that's your inflation This is dumb Brian Warden isn't coming Georgia and he sends us $200 and seven cents associate executive producership for you And oh this is good I saw a six-sided stop sign and knew I had to donate As opposed to what other sort of stop sign? Well, he said this was one of your many donation strategies from around the 700s. Oh yeah well no it's still in play... We need to just remind people when you see a stop sign You see that stop sign and think donate to the No Agenda Show Stop Sign Donate To The NO AGENDA SHOW When you see a stop sign, donate to The NO AGENDA SHOW What are you getting at?

Thank you, thank you but okay I'll look for it infographics still exist also i wish there was a boomer award giving me ideas because that quit being so negative comment aimed at millennials a few shows ago was the most boomer thing ever There's another interesting gag. We haven't had boomers who listen to the show that appreciate Boomer Talk Well, I think Gen Z should be eligible for Boomer Awards because they have boomer values That's why they're attracted to our Boomer Talk

2:26:50 Yeah, and they want to learn as much as they can so they can have a competitive edge over the X's and the Millennials. They're looking...they are aggressively looking even though they have these...they've been dumbed down by the public school system. They know this. They have self-realization and they know that they have to be competitive with these other two groups not us because you know they're not competing with us They're competing with the X's and the Millennials. They know that they're gonna have to have an edge, and the edge is the knowledge of the boomers. The Boomer Knowledge! Boomer Knowledge Speaking of a competitive edge... Good name for a show by the way Yes, Boomer Knowledge. Speaking of a competitive edge

CHAPTER 24 / 34 Discussion

Trump Administration 50-Year Mortgage Proposal

The Trump administration is moving forward with a proposal to introduce 50-year mortgages to address the stagnant real estate market. While the move aims to lower monthly payments, critics like Marjorie Taylor Greene argue it will leave homeowners in debt for life and primarily benefit banks through massive interest accumulation. The proposal faces potential legal hurdles regarding the Dodd-Frank Act's restrictions on loan terms.

donald trump· mortgages· interest rates· marjorie taylor greene· dodd-frank act

2:29:56 Hey, mine doesn't work that well anymore. I think i touched the membrane. No, no you have to catch it just right the thing is touchy. It's touchy um 50-year mortgages this was kind of yeah there's a scam if ever there was well let me play the report and then i have some questions

2:30:43 This morning, new backlash as the Trump administration moves forward with a plan to introduce 50-year mortgages. It looks to be like the president's looking for a quick fix to a market that is fundamentally broken right now. Over the weekend, Trump sharing this image comparing the proposal to the 30 year mortgage policies championed by FDR nearly a century ago. The move could potentially kickstart the now stagnant real estate market homes are currently seeing the lowest turnover rate in 30 years and median age of first time an all-time high of 40 ye difficult to see right now how they are going to be a longer fixed rate mortga payments but would also c

2:31:24 interest because of all that interest over five decades. Take a $400,000 loan at 6% interest under a 30 year mortgage the monthly payment would be just shy of twenty four hundred dollars under a 50 year loan it drops to just over 2100 as savings of nearly three hundred dollars a month but overtime that savings is erased by a much larger interest bill because while the total interest on a thirty-year loan would be about 463 thousand dollars the on a 50-year loan would total more than $860,000. Many including longtime allies of President Trump are not on board with the idea Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene saying quote it will ultimately reward the banks mortgage lenders and home builders while people pay far more in interest over time and die before they ever pay off their home in debt forever in debt for life

2:32:11 And the White House has not yet explained how it would get around the Dodd-Frank Act, which effectively bans mortgages longer than 30 years. Well that effectively ban is not entirely true but you wouldn't be a qualified mortgage lender but its not banned by any stretch of the imagination But tell us about this... This is important for our Gen Z listeners what uh.. Advice will you give them which of course is not financial advice because we don't give any but what is your thoughts on this? Well, I don't like it. It's a phone as a scam of sorts I mean This is like increasing the car loans from you know two years three year or anything normally Seven years now yeah They got it jacked up so he just pay a lot of benefits to banks and the banks are part of the problem here question a question a question

2:33:00 You can deduct the interest from your taxes. Yeah, so isn't that although Trump put a cap on that a few years ago and then luckily the Democrats took the cap off and I think it's off now for awhile It is it's up there like 40 thousand or something. There's still a cap but it's not was down to ten But yeah, well, that's what Trump did And then now it's up to 40, so I mean is that not something that you should look at? It's a big deal. That lowers your taxes, that's true it's helpful, but it lowers your tax with the 30-year mortgage too. The difference is negligible insofar as the taxes are concerned but in terms of the long term accumulation of interest, no, it's ridiculous and I think this whole problem with the shortage and the problem with the kids getting in has to do with the banks. The banks make it difficult for anyone to get a loan for anything

2:33:58 for this purpose to create a phony crisis, so they have to do something drastic like this 50 year thing and all of the sudden they relax the standards and everyone will be able to get one of these loans. This is basically some sort of scam. Okay, so stay away. And for the kids you're gonna just have to starve yourself once you get your down payment in you're good to go but sacrifice only fans only fans actually some truth to that yeah just say I gotta know from a guy and that was there is this note here it is a lot of notes I haven't caught up with my notes

CHAPTER 25 / 34 Discussion

Healthcare Costs and CrowdHealth Benefits

A listener's experience with MRI pricing highlights the significant cost difference between insurance-billed procedures and cash-pay options, with one center charging $321 compared to a $1,600 insurance quote. The discussion traces the rise of for-profit HMOs back to the Nixon administration. Additionally, a producer in Massachusetts notes that they choose to pay a state penalty for not having traditional insurance because the CrowdHealth model remains more cost-effective.

healthcare· mri· crowdhealth· richard nixon· hmos· massachusetts

2:34:47 This guy goes on and says he has a comment on the show related to show 1815. During the show you were discussing healthcare and health insurance companies, you had anecdotal story regarding young woman this is last show actually seeking MRI approach in the news she get for 700 bucks as opposed to 1500 she talked another provider blah blah blah Your analysis blamed the insurance company for the outrageous difference. However, the deductible payment goes to the hospital provider not the insurance company so the hospital is going to collect a 5k plus whatever the insurance company reimburses versus the 750 if cash was paid. The serious gouging by the hospital provider

2:35:29 Well, yes. So why did the hospitals are as much at fault as anyone? Why do the hospitals gladly take cash payment and a lower price than if that is true? They don't gladly take it. Yes they do! Well, they do take it but this one hospital wouldn't. I don't think this applies to all hospitals that's the problem and i think it definitely applies to HMO hospitals which by the way was a British invention and not only that but it was HMO in this country until Richard Nixon...I have to write an essay on this so I can get straight myself

2:36:11 Richard Nixon allowed the HMOs to, when he was in office passed a law that allowed them to make profit. They were not allowed... they had to be non-profit, had to be break even operations all these HMO's and that's when Kaiser was in business I used to be a Kaiser girl Yeah, I was a Kaiser girl. I used to be...I worked for Kaiser and got free health care from Kaiser and then continued that health benefit which was cheap! And it was pay as you go. I didn't remember paying a monthly thing that all changed with Nixon and they started creeping and creeping, they could make more and more profits than you look at the balance sheets in the billions of dollars being made by all these middlemen including the hospitals and the insurance companies aren't making millions and millions and billions of dollars because everybody's doing getting healthcare inexpensively so I blame both health care... The whole system sucks

2:37:10 Well, because you brought up MRI. Producer Scott sent a note he says I need an MRI for shoulder injury my orthopedic doctor's office performs them they bill insurance $1600 they were willing to give me a self-pay price of twelve hundred dollars crowd health that's the thing that Tina can tell you about Tina at curry dot com Found an imaging center that happened to be closer than my ortho's office. The imaging center performed the MRI, produced a written report by radiologist sent that report to my ortho and me and gave me a disc of the images final price $321 Dude! That's a quarter of the price

2:38:00 Pays to shop around. Yes, well in this case CrowdHealth did it and then I got a disturbing note...I don't understand how this could even happen so i don't know if you found out about California? If health insurance is mandatory I have yet to disprove this. Well, one of our producers lives in Massachusetts he says Massachusetts imposes a penalty if you don't have health insurance because i use crowd health I will have to pay a penalty I decided to pay the penalty because... Still cheaper! Yeah yeah I think the crowd health model is good for the country I don't like giving my money to insurance companies I like being able to choose what

2:38:41 What crowd events I pay for and there's a decent chance my cost will still be lower by using CrowdHealth and paying the penalty. But they have this whole, he sent me a whole penalty schedule. How? This was the whole point of removing the Obamacare tax! And now, I didn't know that states just went ahead and just made this law. I mean isn't that... doesn't it fall under the same unconstitutional tax? That's not a tax? There is something fishy about it. I'd say. Well let's get Rob on it! Because he has got nothing better to do. Poor Rob. Oh God those guys are asking more legal questions for free. Come on Rob!

2:39:30 It's like most lawyers have a little clock next to the phone and as soon as they pick up, they tap it. They're billing you by the second Like one of those chess clocks? Yeah exactly! And it's going around and around... Can you ask that question again? It's also possible that he's just noting this and one day he'll come up and say okay I need to be a Duke And here's my accounting. He has got the clock running! Here is my accounting over that. Actually, being an attorney that would not surprise me and I wouldn't be a problem for me. No, you know dukedoms are what they are. Yeah they are indeed

Ukraine Corruption Scandal and Energy Minister Resignation

Ukraine's Energy Minister resigned and the Justice Minister was suspended following the discovery of a $100 million corruption scheme involving state energy enterprises. President Volodymyr Zelensky called for the dismissals to maintain international trust as the country seeks to join the European Union. Simultaneously, Ukraine is requesting 25 additional Patriot air defense systems from the United States to protect its infrastructure from Russian attacks.

ukraine· volodymyr zelensky· marco rubio· corruption· patriot missiles

2:40:12 That's funny. All right, do you have other stuff here in your list that you haven't yeah I got this ketchup stuff I got the stuff to Get us up-to-speed let's go with well we get the Trump suing the BBC over that thing We kind of discussed that earlier Yeah by the way it turns out this morning ABC Australian Broadcasting had pulled the same stunt oh They may be Yes, and they're getting burned. They got burned by the... Did they take the same edit? No it was different but still bad. Different. And they got burned by Sky News Yeah, just the same way The Telegraph did with the BBC. Let's go to the Ukraine update! Everybody loves a Ukraine update... Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues meeting with G7 foreign ministers in Canada today. Ukraine's Foreign Minister is attending as well. Ukraine is seeking to buy 25 additional Patriot defense systems from the US

2:41:09 And today's international correspondent, Arjen Pastar has more. Secretary of State Mark Rubio is among the G7 officials welcoming Ukraine's foreign minister in Canada on Wednesday Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky recently said he wants to order 25 Patriot air defense systems from the United States Meanwhile Canada has announced additional sanctions on people and entities involved in Russia's drone program The measure will affect 13 people and 11 entities, including several involved in the development and deployment of Russian drones. Meanwhile in Ukraine Kiev is battling an alleged major $100 million corruption scheme. Anti-corruption authorities say they detained five people suspected of involvement in the alleged plot to control procurement in state energy enterprises. Ukraine's government is now being shaken up

2:41:59 On Wednesday, the country's energy minister resigned while the justice minister was suspended. This comes after President Volodymyr Zelensky called for their dismissal. I believe that Justice Minister and Energy Minister can no longer remain in their positions this is a matter of trust if there are accusations they must be addressed The corruption in the energy sector comes as Russia keeps attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which brings blackouts across the country ahead of winter. I was actually very angry after the shelling of the energy infrastructure because it turns out that our energy facilities are not protected for this year of the war. This scandal also hurts Ukraine's bid to join the European Union. Fighting corruption is central to Kiev's goal for EU membership

CHAPTER 27 / 34 Discussion

EU Media Freedom Act and Cash Restrictions

The European Union is implementing the Media Freedom Act, which critics argue increases state control over journalism through targeted grants. Furthermore, new anti-money laundering regulations set to begin in 2027 will make it illegal to hold more than 10,000 euros in cash at home or buy a car with cash. The rollout of the "Digital Euro" in 2029 is expected to further restrict financial privacy by tracking all transactions.

european union· media freedom act· digital euro· anti-money laundering· cash limits

2:42:47 Meanwhile, the fighting continues in eastern Ukraine. Oh that's interesting do you think that this was part of the we want to be in the EU so look what we did? We got rid of some guys maybe but it just points out that the whole place is corrupt Of course it is I have actually a clip here from European Parliament Vice President Hanna Virkunen About the media in the EU, they have instituted... I didn't know about this. It's called the Media Freedom Act. We know with that wording, it means just the opposite? Well in a way you have to kind of get into her accent but it's a short clip. We are supporting our journalist work and our news media

2:43:41 Of course, these kind of programs it's only a very small part when we look the whole financial framework where our media is working nowadays. So I see that it's even more important also to make sure that we are creating more level playing field for our media because... Notice how she keeps saying our media! Our media! Our media! Our media! ...important also to make sure that we are creating more level playing field our media because we know that our media is very much under financial pressure because of the digitalization and because of online platforms, people are not buying so much newspapers for example anymore. And a big part of advertising is also in digital platforms

2:44:25 So we have to also look at how we can create more level playing field for our media, but in the same time it's very important also that we are supporting our journalist work and free and independent media. And of course member states are also playing very important role here, and that is why we have Media Freedom Act now into place, and member states are currently now implementing it, and we are now encouraging all the member to implement it very fast because there we are also looking the ownerships and the structures of media in different member states, to make sure that we have free independent media all over our member states. Yeah so you're right of course this is not about free independent media The European Media Freedom Act provides grants to state media

2:45:14 for media innovation and journalism partnerships in the millions. Yeah, this is all... All state media in Europe are socialist! It's horrible! It's no better than the BBC lying you know? And it's controlled by the politicians because the politicians here are controlling the money that they want Another little tidbit from European legislation As of January 2027, every euro above 10.000 euros in cash in your home becomes illegal tender Every crypto transaction must be a data point in the database

2:46:06 So if I had $15,000 in cash because of whatever reason. Let's say I was going to buy a car... Oh no! The EU anti-money laundering package Starting in 2027, buying a car... Do they realize that drug dealers do business in the millions? Buying a car in cash will be a crime. What?! In 2027. Sending over 1,000 euros without state approval triggers prosecution The digital euro arrives in 2029

2:46:48 And you will only be able to hold 3,000 euros in your digital euro. Every purchase tracked every pattern analyzed yeah this is great Why would anyone put up with this? Because it's being... If I want to buy a car cash No no just no! No You can't... Why? Because you owe nothing and you will be happy No Just no I gotta get my kid out of there before 2029 This is nuts. Yeah, well you're not having much success from the way I see it They're coming for Christmas You're coming for Christmas and i'm going to take them around i'm going to show them how wonderful It is in America, Murica And christmas is a great time particularly in Fredericksburg Oh, is it one of those festive little towns during christmas?

MSNBC Rebranding and Grand Sumo Highlights

MSNBC is reportedly rebranding to "MS Now" as part of a network overhaul. The conversation shifts to the November Sumo tournament in Japan, where Yokozuna Onosato is seeking his fourth title of the year. John C. Dvorak complains about the broadcast timing of sumo highlights being disrupted by the recent shift away from Daylight Savings Time.

msnbc· msnow· sumo· yokozuna onosato· daylight savings time

2:50:17 Just remember. And they give us, they give us a Fredericksburg insight that we can rebut. Inverse, inverse Fredericksburg? The inverse Freder... what is it called again I gotta get to write it down What does it call the... Inverse Fredericksburg. Just inverse Fredericksburg okay Yeah yeah It's like inverse Kramer you know whatever Kramer says on CNBC do the opposite By the way next week Next week MSNBC goes to MS Now! Yeah on the 15th. I'm very excited They're gonna have new producers. Well, that's what they say. Could be musical chairs for all we know Yes And I have an update! Yes

2:50:57 Not quite sports ball, but I figured this was an update that you'd be interested in. Here we go. Konnichiwa and thanks for joining us on Grand Sumo Highlight! It's day two of the November tournament. Yokozuna Onosato got off to an auspicious start with a convincing day one victory He seems well positioned to capture his fourth title of the year And do it in back-to-back fashion There ya'go there's your sumo update! There was like some 16 year old kid that was a third of the side of this sumo wrestler and he beat him. Did you see that? No, I didn't see day two. I saw day one and I've been watching... See this is why i bring the sumo updates Well here's what the problem with this tournament

2:51:46 They always play it on three or four different specific hours, the highlights. You can watch it live if you want to but you have to wait till after midnight. I love watching it live! Oh yeah...I mean I watched one maybe once live It takes forever. You don't have any clue about how long it takes to do one match until you watch it live. I know, and they're dilly-dallying and they keep squatting down... They sit there, they get up, they get down, they take a shit, they take a pee, they go here, they go there, they get up, they get down, they get up, they get down—it goes on forever! And then finally have their match. It does look like that they're poopin', doesn't it? Like, ugh... Well, just one thing — it's just ridiculous

2:52:23 So those highlights are the way to go. So what happened though is after Daylight Savings Time switched back, the times on the shows haven't switched back they're at the same time so they're off an hour. So I'm a schedule-oriented type of guy. And so, you know like when I expected to go watch the sumo at 930 and oh it's already over because it was... Bummer! They played it at 830. Yeah and then it takes me probably two tournaments to get the timing right. And that ladies in general is your Sportsball Update!

John C. Dvorak's Tip of the Day: Knife Sharpening

John C. Dvorak provides a "Tip of the Day" recommending the Zwilling Twin Sharp knife sharpener, a tool he has used for 30 years. He cautions that while it is effective for standard steel blades, it should never be used on high-end Japanese knives, which require traditional whetstones and specific sharpening rituals. The segment concludes with a promise of future tips focused on essential kitchen knives.

3:05:04 It's like a party A reminder, we do have John's tip of the day coming up. We have some great end-of-show slop and end-of-show mixes which are not all AI I think you'll enjoy them and before that we always like to determine what we're gonna play as our end-of-show ISO. Actually i'm over ISO today. I have four of them Do how many? You have two I see Yes Yeah Okay, I'll start with mine Um...I'm whole Griff

3:05:43 Just like that kid so much. Here's another one... That is awesome! Mmm, I'm pulling from the archives It could have been better Yeah they're doing great well done Not too bad? I find that exhilarating All very positive all positive all upbeats Yeah it's about time I did like the second to the last one. I thought that was good Yeah, they're doing great! Well done! Yeah that went a British guy Okay well... I have a couple you have to guess which ones AI Oh okay I can see by the waveform it's yup Well let's start with best These two fellas are the best in the business Not AI? Okay fooled me yeah And the other one? Yup Yep This is the only good podcast anyone does

3:06:35 These two fellas are the best in the business. Yeah, they're doing great! Well done! Ooh... I think that's a double combo. I'm kind of liking that. That- Alright, I mean... I knew you'd be in and not only that ladies and gentlemen Not only is he in but he has your tip for the day! Created fast for you and me Just the tip with JCB And sometimes Adam. Thought we would get some flack for this one So there's a knife sharpener I've been using for 30 years and that keeps, uh... I bought a second one actually. Well why would you get flak? Knife sharpeners are important! This is-I'm excited about this. Well i know why I'm going to get flak. Uh, I've had the-I've tried all these different kinds of knife sharpeners There's the three stage four stages and when you do this and this and this

3:07:29 This is a one-shot knife sharpener. It's one stage, it's not a cheap sharpener. It used to be cheaper and I think you can still get it on sale if you look around. It's the Zwilling or Zwilling? Zwilling which I believe is Henkels but Zwilling 32590-300 twin sharp knife sharpener. It's a funny looking thing and it's easy to hold down, to the ground, to the table and then you drag the knife across this little slot. And I have had...I have old pre-World War II steel knives. I've got some... Wait a minute! Are these are these the knives that used to kill Nazis? I think they would work. Zwilling. What is it what is the number again?

3:08:26 It's the Zwilling 32590-300, called a twin sharp. And I have some sabat... Whoa! Okay. I have some sabatieres that I've had since the 70s and I keep sharpening them and it, I think it, I think it sharpens the hell out of any blade except the Japanese blade if you have Japanese blades you have to get a stone Don't use a Japanese blade on this thing. This is like it's made of plastic handle was that the one? Yeah, it's got their place funny shape just kind of plastic handle yet holds down and you pull your knife across towards you That's very simplistic 49 bucks on Amazon I see yeah It's too high but it's what it is hmm But you pull the knife to put the knife in and you pull it towards you and you do

3:09:19 Two of those will sharpen any knife pretty quickly. Except for the Japanese ones, you don't want them. The Japanese knifes got a different blade angle and everything's wrong And a good Japanese knife needs a stone and you have to go get them from a Japanese. I have a Japanese stone that's from some mountain in Japan, it's so famous. It was the last of the stones they used. They had all these- A huettingstone? Yeah they have these yes. The Japanese have all these rituals about stone sharpening and they have all these myths about this stone mountain that you'd have to take a chunk from that use that to sharpen your knife. Long story.

3:09:57 But with Javanese knives, they're very... especially the good ones. So you have to be careful with those. You know what I would like in follow-up to this which i think would really complete the series? I would like a knife tip of the day! A kitchen knife tip of the day! I think you could do several of them actually. I could do quite a few uh knife tips of the day yes Okay, I'll work on the ultimate knife tip. You can find this tip and all of John's tips of the day at TipOfTheDay.net Take a look it's worth it! Created by you and me Just The Tip With JCB And sometimes Adam Created By Dana Burnetti Yes we thank Dana Burnetti for this fabulous creation
