Donald Trump, Bloomberg Reporter, Quiet Peggy Controversy

Donald Trump faced media criticism following an interaction on a plane where he reportedly told a reporter to be quiet. While initial reports and viral TikTok clips claimed he said "quiet piggy" to Bloomberg reporter Christine Lucy, evidence suggests he actually addressed a reporter named Peggy. The incident sparked a broader debate about the professionalism of the White House press corps and their failure to stand up for colleagues during verbal altercations.

00:00 It's a padcast. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, November 20th, 2025. This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1818. This is no agenda. ...files and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from the Silicon Valley where the watchword is, quiet, piggy. I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh man of all the things of all the things that have happened this past week That's the one everyone's oh, I can't believe he said quiet piggy. I'm not even sure that's exactly what he said He said quiet Peggy. Oh, he said Peggy. There's a woman that the front there was a confusion I had it written down. I don't have it in front of me, but why come prepared? There was a Bloomberg woman and

00:55 Yeah, that was one of the reporters and it was Peggy something and there was another Bloomberg woman and they attributed him telling the other Bloomberg woman whose name was Christine Lucy, I believe, of saying quiet piggy. No one's ever interviewed her or this has never been confirmed. So he was he was saying quiet Peggy, which was on the plane. You couldn't hear anything. And with this Queen's accent, quiet, Peggy. That's it. Well, it was you know, it was that what you've been bitching and moaning about which is that plane interview, you know that you can't hear anything. Yeah. No, no. And so I said, yeah. And so they made a big fuss. I do have one clip of a typical response to this is a tick tock clip. You know, I what happened to you?

01:41 I went nuts. So, uh, I see quiet Peggy. I see like 10, 10 TikTok clips. Yeah, they're all dynamite, but I got the quiet Peggy one on here. This is what the typical reaction was. And here's what's interesting. I believe, here's what I think happened. I believe that when he first said it, somebody caught it and then they attributed it to this woman, this Lucy character. Uh, it's the press themselves put it out there so they could slam Trump. But if you listen to this rant from this woman, classic online rant, the media is what gets blasted for this, not Trump. Oh, this is the Piggy Chronicles?

02:24 Is it what it says? That's what it says. Yeah, it's anything that says piggy. Okay, here we go. Tell me why I just saw the president of the United States put his finger in a female journalist's face and tell her quiet piggy and not a single other journalist in the area did shit about it. Am I shocked at the president's actions? No, that's not even the point of this video. But this man points his finger in someone's face and snarls, quiet piggy, and the rest of the press corps just stands there like absolutely nothing happened. And listen, I grew up around journalists. I know how seriously they take professionalism. They are trained to keep their cool. This goes beyond that. This was demoralizing verbal abuse. That was not banter. That was not press tension.

03:14 And her colleagues just watched it happen. This is an utter failure of the press. It is a failure of the entire point of the press in democracy. Journalists have got to stop fawning over access and start standing up for dignity and integrity. Imagine the impact if even one journalist had said, hey, you don't get to talk to us that way or you don't get to talk to her that way. Solidarity should not be optional when your colleague is being publicly shamed and demeaned and abused. And let's be real, this is not the first time Trump has obviously harassed or abused or demoralized the press, and no one stands up to him. Authoritarians don't rise because they're strong, they rise because people are too scared to push back, or they're too focused on their own self-interest when they

04:01 I mean, they crossed the line. So yes, obviously I'm disgusted with the president, what's new? But I'm more disgusted with these journalists who just stood up there and proved that not only are they being silenced, they are silencing themselves. Well, she could have done it in half the time. I'm not arguing with that. This clip was way too long. I wish she would tighten it up. Yeah. Well, but she did beat it to death and it but it was aimed at the media, which I think is kind of the ironic part of it. Well, the president lashed out. at all kinds of people and reporters. I didn't hear anyone coming to the defense of the ABC reporter. Well, I have actually a series of clips that involve that particular moment, including his takedown of Mary Bruce is who you're talking about. Yes. You want to do that? Let's do it. It fits. We need to play something else after that lengthy TikTok clip.

CHAPTER 02 / 33 Discussion

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, White House Visit, Business Deals

President Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House with full military honors, including a flyover and parade. The visit focused on a projected $600 billion to $1 trillion in Saudi investments in the United States, alongside the sale of American-made tanks and F-35 fighter jets. Media coverage highlighted the contrast between these massive economic deals and the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which U.S. intelligence linked to the Crown Prince.

04:59 You can continue to complain about the link, but it was under two minutes, and that's that's my limit This is the well, let's start. Let's do it. Let's do the three by three if you want to play the jingle Always at the ready comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC That's right everybody John has a 3x3 he's got three clips in the big three ABC NBC CBS will they sound the same will they have the same messaging we're gonna find out who do we start with well we're gonna start with the Mary Bruce one and that it will go from there and this is the ABC clip now this is about this is about the interaction between

05:48 Mary Bruce and the Saudi Prince. Ben Solomon was in the movie. He didn't say much. He actually did. He did say a lot. He said, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He can speak English. Or you know about that particular moment. Yeah, we chopped that guy up. Well, it was a mistake. What can I tell you? No, no, it was just a... It happens. We chop people. It's what we do. Sorry. I'm sorry. Give me a break. I'm a Saudi. What do you want? Tonight, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, fully embraced by President Trump, welcomed to the White House with horses on parade, a military flyover and a personal tour. Trump pulling out all the stops.

06:35 Trump keeping praise on the crown prince. I'm very proud of the job he's done. What he's done is incredible in terms of human rights and everything else. But it was the CIA under Donald Trump who determined in 2018 that the crown prince orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi. President Trump bristling when I asked about that. Hold on a second. Dismemberment? No, no, no, no, no. They saw that guy in the little bits. It wasn't just his arms and legs, was it? Well, they had to get him in suitcases, so I'm sure they chopped him up into smaller pieces. Yeah, well, I'm just correcting the record. But I think you still use the term dismemberment. I think just chopped him into little bits would have been better. She can't say that. She's not going to be. There's no proof of it, by the way. Oh, there's no evidence. Donald Trump, who determined in 2018 that the crown prince orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

07:33 President Trump bristling when I asked about that. Your Royal Highness, the US intelligence— Oh, this is interesting. She actually does the report. Herself. Yeah. Yeah. Isn't this like one of the main things you're not supposed to do in journalism is make it about you? No, that's not true. When it comes to the press corps at the White House, they always, they tend to do just the opposite. They always do their own reports and they say, I said this, I asked them this, I asked them that. Well, I asked the president this, I asked the president that. No, not true. Okay. President Trump bristling when I asked about that. Your Royal Highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist. 9-11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you Mr. President. I'm with ABC News, sir. You're with who? ABC News, sir. The president answering first. She cuts out the fake news. She cut that out. His answer was, you're

08:27 You're fake news. Yeah, cut that out. You're absolutely right. That's what he said. She cut a lot of stuff out. She made it look like she was doing her job. She's doing her job. But she went on some other shows later too. She's pretty cool about it, but you can tell she's a liberal. Oh. Gambling anyone? You with who? The president answering first, defending the crown prince and instead criticizing the journalist who was murdered. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Oh wait, stop, stop. Damn it, I should have mentioned this when you interrupted the clip. If you notice when she said, she said the CIA accused you of being behind it. Intelligence community, yes.

09:13 And then she said, and 9-11 families are... Yes! Are mad that you're here. Yeah. Why? Well, because the 9-11 families know that it was Saudis who were actually behind the plot. Was it him? No, he wasn't even an officer to tell you. But he's brown. He's wearing a dress. Like, be mad at him! Instead, criticizing the journalist who was murdered. You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. And we can leave it at that. Wow, that's mob boss talk.

09:55 But the crown prince, who rarely faces the press, defended himself. You know, anyone that's been losing his life for, you know, no real purpose is painful and it's a huge mistake. And we are doing our best that this doesn't happen again. Hey man, I'm sorry. You know, it won't happen again. It won't happen again. I promise. I promise you here. It won't happen again. Trump has been eager to cultivate ties to Saudi Arabia, traveling there for the first foreign trip of both his presidential terms. And his family has been doing big business in Saudi. Ah, there it is.

10:42 Coming soon. Coming soon. Trump Tower's going up in Jeddah and in Riyadh, a Trump Plaza now in the works. In the last year alone, the Trump Organization's Saudi partner, pumping more than $20 million into the family business. Pumping. They're pumping it in. It's a big gas handle pumping it in. Yeah. Pumping it. Yeah, let's not talk about the 600 billion to trillion dollars. That's that Saudi is gonna invest here Let's talk about the 20 million dollars. They're pumping into the pumping This is you know, it's also as if the Trump organization which he's not really running right now. He's got other things to do Take it over anyway that they're supposed to watch shutter. Yeah, I

CHAPTER 03 / 33 Discussion

Media Coverage Discrepancies, Saudi Investment, Trump Family Business

Major news networks ABC, CBS, and NBC provided varying accounts of the Saudi delegation's visit, often focusing on the Trump family's business ties in the Middle East. Reports noted a $1 billion Trump Plaza development in Jeddah and a luxury hotel licensing deal in the Maldives. Critics argued that the mainstream media ignored the scale of the $600 billion investment package in favor of highlighting potential conflicts of interest and security concerns regarding China's interest in F-35 technology.

abc news· cbs news· nbc news· trump plaza· jeddah· maldives· f-35

11:26 Yeah. While he's president? Well we all know this is fake, it's not at all like Biden and Burisma. Shut up! So here we go from there, we'll go from that was ABC. Let's go to CBS and you know they, CBS is still kind of on pretty much the same report and they don't veer too much away from it but they don't, they don't They also leave out stuff like fake news. You ought to go back and learn how to be a reporter. The question that set Trump off was not an unexpected one. Who are you with? I'm with ABC News, sir. He was asked why Americans should trust his guest, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, after the brutal killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Hold on, that's not what she did. She didn't say, should you trust him? She didn't ask him if the president should trust him.

12:20 Not at all. Okay, just pointing it out. So they're making it up. The question is on the fly. They're making it up, oh no! ...of Saudi Arabia after the brutal killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happened, but he knew nothing about it. That was not the conclusion of the U.S. intelligence community, which assessed in 2021 that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did approve an operation in Istanbul, Turkey to capture or kill Khashoggi, who was a legal U.S. resident. Today, the crown prince called the killing a... They make us sound like he's a citizen of the United States. Yes, legal U.S. resident. Yeah, of course. He killed an American man.

13:08 That's the implication, yes. What is Barry Weiss doing? I thought she was gonna be pro-Trump. What's happening? She's not doing anything. That's what she's doing. Capture or kill Khashoggi, who was a legal US resident. Today, the crown prince called the killing a mistake. We've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that and it's painful. It was painful for Khashoggi, I'll bet. The moment marred an otherwise lavish welcome for the crown prince, who rolled out the red carpet for Trump in Riyadh this spring.

13:44 On the eve of this visit, Trump approved a plan to sell F-35 fighter jets to the Saudis for the first time, despite Pentagon concerns that China, a Saudi ally, could try to steal the plane's technology. Oh yeah, go ahead, steal that turkey. Trump was asked today if his family's deep business ties to Saudi Arabia are prompting preferential treatment by the U.S. government. What my family does is fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia actually. I'm sure they could do a lot. They already do a lot. In September, a Saudi-backed developer unveiled plans for a $1 billion Trump Plaza development in the seaside city of Jeddah.

14:27 Just yesterday the Trump Organization announced a licensing deal with Saudi investors to build a luxury hotel in the Maldives. How did we get from 20 million to a billion all of a sudden? Well, no, what they did is they changed the model. It wasn't the Trump It wasn't the Trump Organization, it was a Saudi, if you listen again, it was a Saudi developer who had the Trumps in as a partner, so you could use the exaggerated number, and then they drop in something about the Maldives, which has got nothing to do with anything. Isn't the Maldives tipping due to climate change? Yeah, they're supposed to be. Sounds like a bad business deal to me. Yeah, oh yeah, I'd say away. You don't want that, no.

15:15 All right, that report was as slanted as the other one. It was only it was it had a couple of elements that were but again no mention of the Gigantic investment in the United States. No one mention of it except they're gonna sell them a bunch of f-35s that the Chinese might steal Yeah, oh, yeah, here's the keys boys. All right, and so I And it won't be the current model, you can be sure of that. You get a 2022 boys, we're not giving you the 2026, all right? With a touchscreen. And there's, you know, you put fail-safe mechanisms in these planes.

Sudan Peace Deal, Saudi Investment Forum, National Security

President Trump announced a partnership with Saudi Arabia to broker a peace deal in Sudan during the Saudi Investment Forum. The forum highlighted $20 billion in immediate deals involving dozens of American companies, aimed at bringing manufacturing jobs back to the U.S. Additional agreements were signed regarding civil nuclear energy, critical minerals, and artificial intelligence, which the administration linked to its broader tariff and national security strategies.

15:56 So here we go. Now NBC, it turns out, another Trump-hating network has, they actually, it's probably the mildest of the reporting, but it still includes the same most important things and leaves out the most important things. Tonight, President Trump... They all had that trumpet though, didn't they? They all like, they love the trumpet. They love putting the, just a nice nat pop. Tonight, President Trump rolling out the red carpet for Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, offering the kingdom's de facto ruler a lavish welcome, including an honor guard on horseback. By the way, should just mention Mohammed bin Salman, as he says here, was the darling of DC before this unfortunate Khashoggi bone saw incident. Everyone's talking about MBS this, MBS that. They all loved him. Remember that?

16:48 Yeah, vaguely. Oh yeah, oh MBS. I was invited to MBS. Oh, MBS. And a military flyover. Including several F-35 jets, the same type of advanced fighters the president plans to sell to Saudi Arabia. President Trump touting Saudi Arabia's $600 billion of investments in the US. What it really means for everybody that really counts is jobs, a lot of jobs. Now saying the Saudi investment could rise to a trillion dollars. You're saying to me now that the $600 will be one trillion. Definitely because what we are signing to facilitate that. That friendly reception for the crown prince, a major reversal from the international ostracism he faced after the CIA concluded he ordered the murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. President Trump interrupting a question about the killing.

17:44 A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it and we can leave it at that. The crown prince, who has denied ordering the murder, responding. We've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened like that. And it's painful and it's a huge mistake. While President Trump was pressed about his... I like how he says we've improved our system. What system is that? He also says it was a mistake. And if you remember the reporting on this, it was believed that they were trying to kidnap him and drag him back to Saudi Arabia to stand trial for. Somebody went rogue. The reporting, at least some of it, was that Khashoggi was making such a fuss and causing such a scene.

18:31 hit him in the head or something, killed him. And now that they killed him, they had to figure out how to get him out of there. But he's dead by accident, you know, it was a mistake. I just love how we've improved our system. Of what? Killing people? What system is that, MBS? The Crown Prince, who has denied ordering the murder, responding. We've improved our system to be sure that nothing happened. like that and it's painful and it's a huge mistake. While President Trump was pressed about his family's business dealings in Saudi Arabia, including Trump-branded luxury properties. I have nothing to do with the family business. I have left and I've devoted 100% of my energy. What my family does is fine. They do business all over. They've done very little with Saudi Arabia actually. Yeah, alright. Okay, so now before we get to the clip I wanted to play,

19:22 There's one more just to balance the three by three with a four which is the Trump Saudi overview from NTD. Okay. President Trump speaking today at the Saudi Investment Forum to top business and tech executives touting billions of dollars in financial ties between the US and Saudi Arabia. He also vows to partner with Middle Eastern countries to work toward peace in Sudan at the request of the Saudi Crown Prince. And Denise Moriarty has more from the White House. $20 billion in deals are being assigned between dozens of companies today, thanking those companies for bringing jobs back to American workers. This coming just a day after rolling out the red carpet for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a day of pomp and circumstance which culminated in a black tie dinner at the White House.

20:23 countries also signed groundbreaking agreements on civil nuclear energy, critical minerals and artificial intelligence and we're going to be selling Saudi Arabia some of the greatest military equipment ever built including nearly 300 American-made tanks. The Saudi prince Tuesday pledged to increase his country's investments in the US from a previously promised $600 billion. a big deal. President Trump also vows to settle the conflict in Sudan by working out a peace deal at the request of the Saudi crown prince. I just see how important that is to you and to a lot of your friends in the room. Sudan, we're going to start working on Sudan. I didn't think that that was one that was going to be. The president adding how influential his tariff strategy has been in ensuring national security and brokering multiple peace deals.

21:28 Now ABC, NBC, CBS had none of these details. No. What's the deal with Sudan? The crown prince, yeah, that's what you'd want to know. The crown prince is upset about something going on down there and he says it should, this is like battle between, the old classic battle. It's gotta be oil. Where's Clooney is what I like to know, but beside that. With his eye in the sky, you're right, where is Clooney? is like he wants it settled and Trump says he'll do it. So I thoroughly enjoyed this press conference, not for the the nat pops and the obvious that the the big three took away from it.

CHAPTER 05 / 33 Discussion

GE Vernova, South Carolina Manufacturing, Stock Market Impact

A facility leader from GE Vernova appeared at a White House event to discuss a $750 million investment in U.S. manufacturing. The expansion of the Greenville, South Carolina facility is expected to triple the output of gas turbines to meet demand in both the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, potentially creating 1,800 jobs. Observers noted that such public endorsements by the President often lead to significant increases in the involved company's stock price.

22:16 But Trump had a shill in the audience. This was really good. And I take the president at his word that he's mad about this whole Epstein thing. And of course, he doesn't help himself with calling the journalists fake news because his news doesn't get on the news. His news, which he's desperately trying, he needs help. He needs help with these promotions. So he's trying to explain that obviously the money that's being brought in is going to be invested into the United States in automotive, in ships, ships, Pennsylvania of all places, billions of dollars worth of ship building contracts.

22:54 But also for the AI and for the energy. And he had a GE shill in the room. This was new. This was new. Wasn't he the CEO? No, no, he's a regional guy. He's a regional guy for GE. Oh, I thought it was the CEO of Verona. No, no, no. You're talking about Verona. What? You're talking about GE Verona. GE Verona? Isn't that the shill you're talking about? No, I don't know if it's GE, I thought it was just a guy from GE who deals with the gas turbines. Well, let's listen, maybe we'll learn.

23:34 Rommel, David, could you say a few words about what you're seeing on the job front and all of the some of the assets and also how we've been helped by the Saudis in terms of the kind of investment they've made, please. Most certainly, thank you for the opportunity. I am a facility leader for GE Brunetta. And a facility leader. And if you look at the landscape for GE Vernova investment, over $750 million in the U.S. focused on true manufacturing jobs here stateside. We're looking at tripling the output of our Greenville, South Carolina facility.

24:11 where we make the gas turbines that are supporting US needs as well as the Saudi Arabia needs. So real jobs, $300 million in gas investment resulting in over 500 pieces of new equipment being installed in the Greenville, South Carolina facility. That translates into roughly 1,800 jobs across the board for GE Vernova as we try to scale capacity to be able to meet this demand. demand. Along with that, we're partnering with local communities to build the skill set that's required to meet these capacity needs. So that talent pipeline is incredibly important. So it's real jobs in the manufacturing space.

24:50 Well, you've been great and thank you very much. And we love that state. I won that state by record numbers. I won a lot of states by record. Texas, a lot of them. Oh, yeah, Texas. Indiana. We're working with Indiana and something right now. We won that. We won a lot of them by records, but that was one of them. I want to thank you very much. Say hello to everybody. Great job. You're doing a great job. Thank you. I love the trolls in the troll room. They have nothing but negative things to say. Oh, these jobs won't really happen. Are these good paying union jobs? So this guy was, Trump has done this before and every time he does it,

25:28 bringing a shill from a company who this guy's a facilities guy, bull crap, this guy's a PR guy, he's a spokeshole. He's too slick to be a facilities guy. A facility, of course, that's what you are. So he comes in and he talks about the GE operation, which these guys are nuke guys, and modern. And every time he does it, the company stock skyrockets. He's done this before with different, I've noticed this. You bring this guy, you watch this stock, and I'm not recommending stocks to anybody, but I'm just saying that this stock will skyrocket like all the rest of these. When he brings his shill in, yeah, I think there's more going on. There's more going on. Well, I think there's more going on. Now, the clip I wanted to play, which is the Mary Bruce clip,

CHAPTER 06 / 33 Discussion

Jeffrey Epstein Files, Mary Bruce, ABC News License Threat

President Trump engaged in a heated exchange with ABC News reporter Mary Bruce after she questioned him about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump criticized Bruce's reporting style and suggested that ABC's broadcast license should be reviewed due to perceived bias. During the rant, Trump distanced himself from Epstein while naming Democrats like Bill Clinton and Larry Summers as individuals with closer ties to the deceased financier.

26:18 I just wanted to, so we can have an indication of what a bully Trump is with people he dislikes. Wait, is this one of your two minute clips that's two minute and 56? Unfortunately, you can cut it off, but I just want you to play the... you cut it off. Gotcha. Touché. Gotcha. I mean you're steamrolling me man. You're steamrolling me with your clips. I was recording this clip and I said holy crap why can't I put this as soon as I put this clip on the list Adam will call me out as a douchebag for doing it. You're steamrolling me man with your two minute clips. You're just steamrolling. But this one

26:55 This one is, this was a follow-up question later in the press conference, you saw this I'm sure. Because Bruce is the one who asked the nasty question about Khashoggi being murdered by the guy sitting there. And Trump's thinking, what is she trying to do, queer the deal here? We're trying to get 600 to a trillion dollars into the country and she's trying to humiliate this guy? So he was irked. Wait, wait, I still have to finish the setup. So you can understand where it came from. So later in the press back and forth, she throws in another question about the Epstein files. And I think it's because he was steaming

27:41 that he jumps, because she has a very, I thought a very simple, almost an inane question. It was not strong worded. It was kind of not, it wasn't bad, but he jumps on her, jumps down her throat. It's, it's unbelievable, but I think it's because of the previous action. Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now? It's not the question that I mind, it's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who is highly respected, asking him a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question. And you could even ask that same exact question nicely. You're all psyched up. Somebody psychs you over at ABC, they're going to psych it.

28:33 You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. As far as the Epstein files is, I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club many years ago cuz I thought he was a sick pervert. But I guess I turned out to be right. But you know who does have? Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him every single night, every single weekend. They lived together. They went to his island many times. I never did. Andrew Weissman, I hear all these guys were friends of his. You don't even talk about those people. You just keep going on the Epstein files. And what the Epstein is, is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not to be able to talk about the 21 trillion dollars that I talked about today. It's a hoax. Now, I just got a little report and I put it in my pocket.

29:24 Of all the money that he's given to Democrats. Now, I'm just gonna stop it here because this is exactly what I was saying. And he's unhinged. He's unhinged here because her attitude wasn't that bad. No, not on that question. But he's pissed off that nobody's reporting on the, he says 21 trillion, I can't quite find 21 trillion. I don't get that number either, but okay. It's certainly a lot of money and that that's getting no press and that, you know, he's fighting what he calls fake news, but he's doing an uncharacteristically poor job at it.

30:00 Well, I think he's discombobulated for a number of reasons. One, the Khashoggi thing with her and that he's really mad at her, which I think has triggered this rant. But he's also, I think, irked at his scheme. I wrote about this in the newsletter with some detail. I think his scheme to release the Epstein files before the primaries, or I'm sorry, not the primaries, the midterms. It went off the rails. He got screwed on this deal. And he's mad because now it's useless. All this stuff will come out and blow over by mid next year, by summer. It's gonna be forgotten completely. He will have no ammunition. He's been Schumerized. I think Schumer, by the way, is behind a lot of this stuff.

30:50 I credit Schumer with being smarter than everyone wants to think he is. Schumerized? Oh, that's like a Laura Loomer term. Loomerized. Schumerized. And Schumer's behind a lot of this stuff and he's working behind the scenes to screw up Trump. He's smarter than people want to give him credit for. He's a schemer. He's a, acts dumb and he seems slow-witted, he reads everything, but he's got a lot of things going on. And Schumer's helped get this thing out of the way so you get these files that have to be released by the end of the next 30 days. No, no, no, it's taking 30 days so the FBI can scrub Trump out of them, don't you know? Yes, this is all part of it. And the whole thing has got him

31:39 I don't want to go to Epstein just yet. Yes. Is the rest Epstein? I'll play a little bit more. He gave me none, zero, no money to me. But he gave money to Democrats. And people are wise to your hoax and ABCs is your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. And I'll tell you something, I'll tell you something. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and it's so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, the chairman

32:22 Who should look at that because I think when you come in and when you're 97% Negative to Trump and then Trump wins the election in a landslide That means obviously your news is not credible and you're not credible as a reporter. So I've answered your question. You should go and look at the Democrats who received money from Epstein who spent their time Larry Summers was was with him all the time nobody mr. President nobody cares about Larry Summers if you said Larry Summers who is on the board of OpenAI, Chad GPT, that might have gotten a little bit of legs. Nobody cares. The president of Harvard is a pretty good thing but he doesn't say that either. That creep, the fund guy, was with him all the time. What's his name?

33:10 Who? Reid Hoffman. I don't know Reid Hoffman. He should know Reid Hoffman. This is bad that he doesn't know Reid Hoffman. I don't believe him. Of course he knows Reid Hoffman, but why isn't he saying Reid Hoffman of... what's that company? Did he do LinkedIn? No, he sold LinkedIn and now it's... come on... the big CRM company. I don't know. Yes. We can figure this out rather easily. You can ask the robot or you can just quickly look it up. But I know he spends a lot of money on the radical left. Reid Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation. He's a space bag. Wait, you didn't know him a minute ago. And those are the people, but they don't get any press, they don't get any news, and you're not after the radical left because you're a radical left network. But I think the way you ask a question with the anger and the meanness

34:03 It's terrible you to go back and learn how to be a reporter no more questions from you who else has a question Yeah, it was LinkedIn, but he's didn't he sell LinkedIn. I'm so yeah. He did he sold to Yeah, I Chris off didn't he maybe he did Anyway, Reid Hoffman's a drip. That's for sure. Oh, he is he's totally he's a dream He's like Karis Karis swishers buddy, so you get the clip from her oh No. The last pivot? No, no, no. I was gonna get it then I said, oh, I don't know. I did not have enough hate this week. I didn't have enough hate. I couldn't hate listen. I'll tell you what she said. She says that Trump is done. He's going to quit. He's going to resign office before December. Before the end of this year. Yes, just in time for Christmas. Of course. All right. So I just want to stick with Saudi Arabia for a minute because a lot more was going on. We had the U.S.

CHAPTER 07 / 33 Discussion

Elon Musk, Humain AI, Humanoid Robotics, Poverty Elimination

Elon Musk attended the U.S.-Saudi summit to discuss a 500-megawatt data center project involving NVIDIA chips and XAI. During the event, Musk predicted that Tesla's future humanoid robots would become the biggest product in history, eventually eliminating poverty and making manual labor optional. He suggested that as AI and robotics continue to improve, the traditional concept of money may eventually become irrelevant.

elon musk· humain· nvidia· xai· tesla· humanoid robots

34:57 Saudi summit and that's why Elon Musk was there and Tim Tim Cook was there and Tim Cook was there Tim Cook was there. Yeah, Tim Cook showed up, of course because there's money money money money money Yeah, I realized there's money but I didn't I said that when every time I've seen the list of people show it that showed up Tim Cook was never mentioned. Yes. He was he was there Along with Jensen, Jensen, Jensen Wang, Jensen, how do you pronounce it? Jensen? Jensen Wang. Jensen Wang from Nvidia or as the president says, Nvidia.

35:37 And so they have this sit-down and they're all sitting there and they're talking about Humain, which you spell H-U-M-A-I-N, which is this AI company from Saudi Arabia. This is the kingdom's flagship AI enterprise to drive global AI innovation. Oh yeah, well, and it's a... So they say they're going to buy 600,000 NVIDIA GPUs which is a lot, which may have helped the rosiness of Wall Street yesterday. Although that seems to have tapered down a little bit because everyone's like... It dropped today. Yeah, where's the money coming from? People are not stupid. So then... Well, at some point you got to, you know, this merry-go-round of money. I'll give you a million. Okay, well, I'll take your million, give it to this guy. And then I'm going to take that million, give it to this guy. Round and round and you get the million back. You go, I'm going to make it two.

36:34 Let's make it a trillion. In NVIDIA's written statement they even said, we're not even sure that the hundred billion dollars from OpenAI, which they base a lot of their forward-looking performance on, that it will actually happen. Says, you know, we have an agreement. Doesn't mean that it'll happen. It's like, okay, this thing is amazing. So Elon Musk... It's called the house of cards, that's the technical term. Yes. So Elon is there and Elon is there because, let me see, I have it here, X, XAI, is collaborating with... By the way, whenever you call something as nefarious as AI humane, that's like Patriot Act, you know, there's nothing humane about it.

37:21 So there's a 500 megawatt data center project which will use NVIDIA chips and supposedly X AIs processing or their system or whatever. And write songs for the no agenda show. Exactly. It's really good for that. And then Musk just goes off on this on this futuristic tangent that I just had the clip and share. With Tesla we wanted to make electric cars compelling and affordable. That was the goal. With respect to humanoid robotics, there are no useful humanoid robotics robots at this point. There are sort of gimmicks, but there are no actually useful humanoid robots. And I think Tesla's gonna make the first actually useful humanoid robots.

38:12 And this will be quite a revolution. And I think it's something that everyone will want. Because I always think of like, who wouldn't want their own personal C3PO R2D2? Of course, everyone would want one. Right? And then there would be many in industry providing products and services. This is why I say that humanoid robots will be the biggest industry, or the biggest product ever. Bigger than cell phones or anything else because everyone's going to want one. Or maybe more than one and there will be many in industry. But AI and humanoid robots will actually eliminate poverty. My prediction is that work will be optional. Optional? Optional. Yes, optional work! We'll take that.

39:04 I mean, it'll be like playing sports or a video game or something like that. If you want to work, you know, in the same way like you can go to the store and just buy some vegetables or you could grow vegetables in your backyard. It's much harder to grow vegetables in your backyard, but some people still do it. I'm smelling ketamine. If you go out long enough, you see there's a continued improvement in AI and robotics, which seems likely. the money will stop being relevant at some point in the future. Okay, so he's taken the world economic forums, you will own nothing and be happy to, work will be optional, money will be irrelevant. Come on! This is nuts!

CHAPTER 08 / 33 Discussion

Nolan Bushnell, Topo Robot, 1983 Tech History

The discussion of modern robotics prompted a retrospective on Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese. In 1983, Bushnell introduced the Topo robot, which was marketed as a breakthrough in personal robotics capable of navigating to a refrigerator to retrieve beverages. Despite the hype of the "year of the robot" in the early 1980s, these early machines remained largely gimmicks compared to modern AI ambitions.

nolan bushnell· topo· pong· chucky cheese· comdex· robotics

39:51 That's a shark jump of epic proportions. Yes, a shark jump. Epic proportions. Your little insert there is probably right on the money. Yes, I smell ketamine. So I want to remind people of a little history here. We had a superstar who I know, an entrepreneur named Nolan Bushnell. Oh, Nolan. Yeah, do you remember his robot? No, I don't remember Nolan Bushnell at all. Well, Nolan Bushnell is a very famous guy invented put he started off by inventing pong and then Chuckie Chuckie cheese is his thing too, but he had a bunch of companies and his big invention in 1983 he had a robot because this was their 83 I remember very clearly writing the topo robot and

40:43 Topo. Topo. And the Topo was a big deal and it was the year of the robot. That's what everyone called it. If you look at all the computer magazines in that era, year of the robot, this is the year of the robot. And they had an exhibit of Topo the robot at Comdex I believe or CES, probably Comdex. And Topo's whole job was to go to, they had a stage set up, and Topo would go and make a route to the refrigerator, somehow open the door of the refrigerator and grab a beer, and then bring the beer to the owner. It reminds me of the AIBO. Remember the Sony AIBO? That came much later. Yeah, I know. But the Sony AIBO was, oh, this is, you're all gonna have a robot dog.

CHAPTER 09 / 33 Discussion

Jensen Huang, Moore’s Law, Accelerated Computing

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang declared the end of Moore's Law, arguing that general-purpose CPU computing can no longer meet global demand. He advocated for "accelerated computing" using GPUs, noting that supercomputers have shifted from 90% CPU-based to 90% GPU-based in just six years. Huang emphasized that raw data processing for banking and e-commerce now costs hundreds of billions of dollars, necessitating this hardware transition.

jensen huang· nvidia· moore's law· cpu· gpu· data processing

41:30 Yeah. It was like a $400 robot dog. $400? I thought there was more than that. It was expensive and it basically did nothing. So, all right, so since we're on history, then Jensen comes in to talk. And this is the most bearish talk on AI that I've ever heard. There's no news about how it's going to be smarter than human beings, smarter than the smartest professor. No, he's pretty realistic. Just as a reminder. His company, this has never been released as information, but his company did a huge study on productivity of AI.

42:11 And they could not find any positive benefits. So he's got a dim attitude about it. Yeah, well MIT had published their paper and basically said the same. But he makes a claim here that I want to put to the test by asking you. Are we going to have an AI bubble? Well, so the question is are we going to have an AI bubble, but he'll get into why of course not. That's the last question? All right. All right. Let me just tell you what we see. Okay. So I think it's really important when you look at what's happening around the world and go back to first principles of what's happening in computer science and computing. There are three things that are happening. The first thing is that we all know that Moore's law has run its course and the ability to... What?

43:03 No. Moore's law has run its course. Moore's... just so we can take this into context, please give us the definition of and maybe some background on Moore's law. Yeah. Gordon Moore came up with this idea back in the... He's from Intel, right? Gordon Moore. One of the founders of Intel decided that he noticed this because he worked at Fairchild and then he went to Intel and he felt that the number of transistors per square centimeter was doubling and it would continue to double every, I think the initial

43:43 thought was every 12 months but then I think people changed Moore's law to every 18 months the number of transistors will double and that means that the size, price, everything... Yeah, it would be at the same price or lower. Yes, but twice as powerful. Because more transistors is more powerful, so you get more power for the same amount of money in the same dice space. And that was the idea. And it was gonna continue for umpteenth years. It seems to still be in play.

44:21 More or less. Well not according to Jensen. It has run its course. Now it's more expensive. The first thing is that... Well for his company. Yeah, that's the way to go. Make it more expensive. That Moore's Law has run its course and the ability, the amount of demand for computing versus the amount of computation we can get out of general purpose computing is really challenging. And so the world's been moving to accelerated computing for some time. We've been pushing this now for some over 20 years. I love the term. He doesn't call it AI. He calls it accelerated computing. Let me give you one statistic. I was just at supercomputing. Six years ago, CPUs were 90% of the world's supercomputers, top 500 supercomputers. Six years ago. This year, less than 15%.

45:11 went from 90% to 10% and meanwhile accelerated computing went from the other way. 10% to now 90%. So you're seeing that inflection point, the transition in high performance computing from general purpose computing to accelerated computing. One of the most data intensive, one of the most intensive computation things that the world does in cloud is data processing. Several hundred billion dollars of computation is done on just raw data processing. It has nothing to do with AI. just SQL processing, data frames, everybody's name, address, their sex, their age, where they live, how much money they make. All of that sits into a data frame. And that data frame drives the world today, whether it's in banking or whether it's in credit cards or of course e-commerce, everything from ad recommendation. Everything is driven off of that data frame. That data frame costs hundreds of billions of dollars to go compute. And so that's the number one thing. End of Moore's Law.

46:07 End of Moore's Law because we need accelerated computing to slice and dice your information. Moore's Law has nothing to do with the kind of computing you do. It has to do with the number of transistors you can put on a die. It's neutral to what he's talking about. What you got to do is just throw out words like data frames. It's those data frames that are really the problem. I really don't understand why he's... I think... I'm trying... No, wait, there's more. I think you stumbled onto what he's trying to do. Yeah, get ready. Get ready. Get ready. There's a payoff even. I got two more here. The second thing is generative AI.

46:46 That's no agenda end of show mixes. What? The... And art. And art, yes. The most important application of the last 15 years... Is making art for the no agenda show. It's called Rexis. Rexis?! Okay, here's a test. Do you know what Rexis is? I think he made it up. I think he made it up. I never heard of Rexus yet. this, you'll like this. Yes, but what he's... Is that different? Is it somehow different? What he falls short of saying is that we'll, your refrigerator will know exactly when to order the milk. I mean this is that level of bull crap. Bull crap. The worst. Here comes. To recommend to us in a social feed. How do you know what ad to recommend to somebody? What book to recommend? What movie to recommend? Oh that's so hard. How about, hey listen to Noah Jenner's show. We give you tip of the day.

CHAPTER 10 / 33 Discussion

Rexus Recommender Systems, Agentic AI, Justified Expenses

Jensen Huang introduced the term "Rexus" to describe the recommender systems that drive social feeds and e-commerce on mobile devices. He further discussed "Agentic AI," such as ChatGPT and Claude, which performs complex reasoning and summarization rather than simple keyword searches. While these systems are significantly more expensive to operate than traditional search engines, Huang argued the costs are justified by the revolutionary shift in computing.

46:07 End of Moore's Law because we need accelerated computing to slice and dice your information. Moore's Law has nothing to do with the kind of computing you do. It has to do with the number of transistors you can put on a die. It's neutral to what he's talking about. What you got to do is just throw out words like data frames. It's those data frames that are really the problem. I really don't understand why he's... I think... I'm trying... No, wait, there's more. I think you stumbled onto what he's trying to do.

46:46 That's no agenda end of show mixes. What? The... And art. And art, yes. The most important application of the last 15 years... Is making art for the no agenda show. It's called Rexis. Rexis?! Okay, here's a test. Do you know what Rexis is? I think he made it up. I think he made it up. I never heard of Rexus yet. this, you'll like this. Yes, but what he's... Is that different? Is it somehow different? What he falls short of saying is that we'll, your refrigerator will know exactly when to order the milk. I mean this is that level of bull crap. Bull crap. The worst. Here comes. To recommend to us in a social feed. How do you know what ad to recommend to somebody? What book to recommend? What movie to recommend? Oh that's so hard. How about, hey listen to Noah Jenner's show. We give you tip of the day.

47:57 We give you interesting stock insights. You don't need Rexis for that, you need a podcast. The world is, the internet is so gigantic without a recommender system that the little tiny phone of us will have no chance of ever seeing the right information. So without Rexis, that little tiny phone will have no chance whatsoever of receiving the right information. This is bullshit. It is bullshit. Pardon me, but largely it's mostly a retread of old ideas before AI and shoehorned into the AI model. Yes, we continue. That Rexis is the engine of the internet today. It's the engine of the internet.

48:42 That's going generative AI. It used to be running on CPUs. Now it runs on GPUs. Which then says the third thing, if you just look at those two applications, Many of the internet companies can build enormous number of GPU supercomputers Just doing that of course that it creates this the third opportunity on top of it, which is agentic AI This is rock and this is open AI this anthropic. Okay, so a gentic AI. I'll just explain it real quick a gentic AI is basically a Google search that you don't have to parse through and

49:17 And I use it, you use it, you type something in, it goes out... Only an idiot wouldn't use it. Yeah, it goes out and says, okay, I found 40 web pages, I'm going to read these, it's pretty good at that, I'm going to summarize these, I'm going to do some basic reasoning, look at the contradictions, and I'm going to say, well, it looks like this is your answer. Which is 30 to 50 times more expensive than throwing up a webpage of rank page or page rank results and no ads, no way to monetize and very expensive. That is a gentic AI. You know this is Gemini, a gentic AI sits on top of that. But don't forget to think about what is happening above, underneath what everybody sees as AI today. What?

50:05 Don't forget Whatever you do don't forget which basically means forget don't forget what's going on above underneath over there some This is just not what you see and it's magic behind the scenes above underneath what everybody sees as AI today There's a whole movement of computing from general purpose computing to accelerated computing and that if you just think If you take that into consideration, you'll come to the conclusion that in fact what is left over to fuel that revolutionary agentic AI is not only substantially less than you thought and all of it justified. All of it isn't salesforce. All of it what? Justified. It's all justified. What do you mean justified? What does that mean? It's justified.

50:50 What do you mean it's justified? When you're sanctified, you're justified. Don't... Tell me what it means. I don't know. Hey, hey Adam, it's justified. That means the expense that you're putting into this is justified. Take it from me. Oh, why don't you say it that way? If you say that, I can believe that's maybe what he meant. One positive thing, he was wearing a suit. He was not wearing... No, he wasn't wearing his cheap leather thing. No, he was not. Which is probably not cheap at all, but super expensive. He was not wearing the motorcycle jacket, a suit, a tie. And now, as he... the final clip from it. I don't think he needs a tie in this era. It's the Saudis. He needs the money. He needs the money to go into everything to buy his chip. 600,000 chips, GPUs.

CHAPTER 11 / 33 Discussion

Humain AI Startup, Omniverse Digital Twins, Quantum Simulation

NVIDIA announced a major partnership with the Saudi AI startup Humain to build massive data centers and develop "Omniverse Digital Twins." These digital twins are physically accurate virtual replicas of factories and environments where robots can train according to the laws of physics. Additionally, NVIDIA plans to use its hardware in Saudi Arabia to simulate quantum computers and perform complex error correction, despite skepticism regarding the feasibility of simulating unbuilt quantum systems.

51:37 So now he's going to go off the rails with all of the excites. I think the shapes are like, what do they cost? I think they're either $3,000 or $6,000 a pop. The full GPU. Yeah, the GPU unit. That one GPU that's super expensive. Well, you can get them up to $30,000 or more. I mean, they have all kinds of gear. But the low end, $39.99 if you can get it. Anyway, $3,999. So now he's gonna bring into this Humane thing, which is like, hey guys, you're gonna buy this from me, and look at all the cool things you'll be able to do with it. We're announcing all kinds of things. Our partnership with Humane is going incredibly well. First of all, we worked together to get this company started and off the ground, and just got an incredible customer with Elon. Could you imagine a startup company, approximately zero billion dollars in revenues,

52:34 They're going to build a data center for Elon. 500 megawatts is gigantic. This company is off the charts right away. Did he say, can you imagine a company with zero billion dollars in sales? That's exactly what he said. Why doesn't he just say with no sales? What do you mean zero? With zero trillion dollars! When Jensen's the point of that, it's a propagandistic way of stating it. Most people when they get up, they just put on their pants one leg at a time. Jensen gets up and he thinks billions, even if it's zero. This show makes zero billion dollars a year and can you imagine?

53:18 Can you imagine a podcast that started by making zero billion dollars a year? It's amazing. Zero billion dollars in revenues, now going to build a data center for Elon. 500 megawatts is gigantic. This company is off the charts right away. No it's not. It's not even built. There's nothing built. 500 megawatts. It's off the charts right away. It was zero billions. In addition to that, we're working, working, AWS as you know is Congratulations to the Humane team with AWS. Yeah, congratulations. Starting with 100 megawatts with a gigawatt ambition. Mary McCord! So AWS is also coming to Humane. We're working with Humane on Omniverse Digital Twins. Omniverse Digital Twins! Oh man, I'm hanging on his every word now. As you know that AI is not just... Wait, huh?

54:13 What the hell is omniverse digital twins? It's I don't know but I want some. I need it after my robot. I need some omniverse digital twins. This this is smoke. He's off the rails. What happened to him? Gets better. The US is also coming to humane. We're working with humane on omniverse digital twins. As you know that AI is not just well it just agentic AI and chatbots and cognitive AI's and... No, it's exactly what it is. It's chatbots and questions and chatbots and art and videos. It's nothing! You know that... Okay, hold on. An omniverse digital twin is a physically accurate

55:00 real-time vertical replica of an object, process, or environment created on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform. It's the Omniverse platform. It integrates with enterprise ecosystems, this is good gobbledygook, listen to this. It integrates with enterprise, I wish I had the right voice for it. It integrates with enterprise ecosystems connecting real-world data from sources like Internet of Things sensors, MES and ERP systems to the photorealistic 3D model for visualization and analysis. This enables companies to simulate, optimize and monitor operations in a virtual space, improving design, planning and efficiency for applications raising from factories and data centers to, and it goes on and on and on. He should cut his hair into a mohawk.

55:58 That's a very inside joke. Good one though. Thank you. As you know that AI is not just, well, just agentic AI and chatbots and cognitive AI is incredibly important to the world. But AI applies to everything, chemicals and proteins and genes and physics and fluid dynamics and particles and of course robotics and activation. And we created this world called Omniverse. Activation? Yeah, it's important to activate. What the hell is that about? Activation baby, it's activation. Robotics and activation and we created this world called Omniverse where robots can learn how to be good robots and... Oh, the Omniverse teaches robots how to be good robots. There it is. What robots are we talking about? The ones that don't exist yet.

56:47 Yeah, and we created this world called omniverse where robots can learn how to be good robots and and It's physically based obeys the laws of physics and so robots can learn don't all robots have to obey the laws of physics Doesn't everything in the physical world have to obey the laws of good catch. I mean come on so called omniverse where robots learn what else could it do and how to be good robots and and it's physically bad here comes the kicker obeys the laws of physics and so robots can learn in these environments and we're working with humane to apply omniverse to all kinds of digital factories and robotics and warehouses and things like that digital factories do what do the digital factories make

57:37 Digitals? Digital cars? No, just digital. Now wait for it because here's the kicker. And so that's another. We're also working in Saudi Arabia to build supercomputers to simulate quantum computers. And using our computers to be the controller and the error correction, one quantum error correction, requires an enormous amount of computation. So we're doing a lot of great work there too. So great. A big partnership with Humane. They're off the charts, off the ground, off the charts. We're going to simulate quantum computing. Okay. Come on. So no wonder. No wonder that's the end. The stock is down. Yeah.

58:22 So just as a... Simulate quantum compu... Why? That makes zero sense. They can't make a quantum computer. How can you simulate something you can't make? Okay, to balance that bull crap... This is like, this is the worst case example of... This is going back to our Silicon Valley days where they had Silicon Valley speak. He's reinvigorated it. Yes, and they've decided to make their own linguistic model off the ground and off the charts and by the way activation does somehow fit in with omnibus whatever the hell it is. What was I can't find a definition for it? What was that thing that Jay the the word that JC came up with the phrase that that is being used that

CHAPTER 12 / 33 Discussion

Ned Block, Large Language Models, Intelligence Skepticism

NYU Professor Ned Block argues that Large Language Models like ChatGPT lack true intelligence, characterizing them as "blockheads" that merely search and reproduce strings from a database. He points to consistent failures in AI image generation, such as the inability to correctly draw a clock showing 6:28 or a person writing with their left hand. Block asserts that these errors occur because the AI relies on the statistical dominance of certain images, like clocks set to 10:10, rather than an actual understanding of the concepts.

59:09 It's like what is not what is the trend? I can't remember what he has a bunch of these he's he's tracked a bunch of I don't remember we need to write them down means to write them down because there's we do there's this getting good it's almost like back in the web design days. What is the conceit of your website? Well, I'm gonna tell you not concept conceit. Alright to balance this out. Three clips relatively short except for the first one Ned block professor at New York University Department of philosophy and Psychology and there's a very long interview. It's really good and he wrote a paper He says, you know Chad GPT or he says Chad GPT, but in general he means large language models AI has no intelligence and he wrote a paper about it and

1:00:00 Mere intelligent responding does not show intelligence of the machine that is doing the responding. Because the machine's responses can be just conduits for something that somebody has put into it. Do you maybe in this paper you referred to it as a string searcher or the search? Yeah. And that became the blockhead. That was one version of it. Yeah. So the paper is titled Psychologism and Behaviorism. What is psychologism and then how does that connect? Psychologism is the very minimal thesis that in order for behavior to reflect thought,

1:00:41 you need an internal processing condition. But since we don't know what thought is, we can't really say what the internal processing condition is, but behavior isn't good enough. That's the idea of it. And the reason this has come up in regard to CHAT-GPT is that people realize that CHAT-GPT is very behavior-dominated. And there's a recent paper by Raphael Millet and Cameron Buckner which raised the question of the CHAT-GPT's

1:01:16 and another large language model's intelligence in terms of to the extent to which it isn't a blockhead. So the idea is that it isn't just reproducing what was in the database, although I have to say that there are a lot of things that a chat GPT does that are very behavior, very memory dominated. And he gives us two examples which we can replicate ourselves. Everybody bring up your chat GPT. This is one we already knew but they still haven't been able to fix it. And of course it's because there's no intelligence. It doesn't actually understand your question and doesn't know how to interpret it and give you the correct answer.

1:02:01 It just gives you whatever string it found that kind of matches your query and it spits it out. Try this. Ask it to draw a picture of a group of watches showing three minutes after 12. Okay, so the minute hand and the hour hand are very close together. What you will get is 10 after 10. And if you try to do 628 where the hands are very close together, you'll get 10 after 10 again. And the reason for this is that the pictures of clocks and watches on the web are dominated by 10 after 10 because it's the most attractive look.

1:02:40 Absolutely, I think we've tried that one that wasn't new to me, but this one this one is even better Everybody in open AI knows about this and they have been unable to really so this is a widespread example That people it's been an example that people have pointed to for years and they still can't figure it out well, I mean they could Maybe there's some artificial way to do it. But to get the machine, you know, the thing they use to deal with problems like this is called reinforcement training. That's your hard coding. The reinforcement training hasn't worked. Probably because there are too many times other than 10 after 10 that would have to be reinforced. I'll give you a second example. Ask Chad Chibiti to draw a picture of somebody writing with their left hand. Yeah.

1:03:31 You will get a right-handed writer every single time. Every single time. So there's no intelligence in this stuff. It's just sucked it all up. No, we know he's doing that. I know, but this is fun for people to go to their friends and neighbors and you're going to have Thanksgiving and everyone's going to be like, oh yeah, I tried to... Yeah, why don't you ask it to draw a picture of a clock that says 628? Why don't you ask it to find a picture for you of someone writing left-handed? And then you will be amazing at this Thanksgiving dinner. People are like, wow, wow, maybe it's not smart. Just a thought. Just a thought.

CHAPTER 13 / 33 Discussion

Pam Bondi, Epstein Investigation, FBI File Revelations

Attorney General Pam Bondi has been ordered by President Trump to investigate ties between Jeffrey Epstein and prominent Democrats, following the passage of a law requiring the release of all unclassified Epstein documents within 30 days. Representative Thomas Massie previously highlighted FBI files detailing 20 high-profile individuals associated with Epstein, including a British bank CEO, a Hollywood producer, a royal prince, and a prominent Italian car company owner. Skeptics remain concerned that the 30-day window may be used to scrub sensitive information from the files before public release.

pam bondi· jeffrey epstein· fbi· thomas massie· jess staley· prince andrew

1:04:29 Anyway, now let's go to Epstein because this was the big, big, big story and there were just some great moments in some of the mainstream reporting and coming out of the White House. The Senate approved the bill without even holding a vote after near unanimous approval by the House. By the way, who pushed that? What? I hope they mention who pushed the bill through without the vote. It wasn't Schumer. It was Schumer. It was Schumer. They were Schumerized. Yeah, okay. You made your point. The Senate approved the bill without even holding a vote after near unanimous approval by the House Tuesday. The bill is passed. All of it is highly unusual in a city accustomed to political gridlock. The law orders the Justice Department to release all unclassified documents relating to Epstein and his associates within 30 days. We'll continue to follow the law

1:05:23 and to have maximum transparency. There's potentially one big roadblock for transparency ahead. A new investigation ordered by the president who told Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate ties between Epstein and prominent Democrats. The Justice Department and FBI previously said they did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties. Now, on Trump's orders, the Attorney General has changed her mind. What changed since then that you launched this investigation? Information that has come for- Information. I've got information, man! New shit has come to light! There's information that- new information, additional information. Oh man. This is gonna be such a disappointment for everybody. Because we already know, we just need the names. Massey already basically said it.

1:06:20 when he was cross-examining Kash Patel. And it's gonna be some fun names. And we already understand a couple of them, and just to regurgitate them here, here are the names that will be found in the files. These aren't the names, but you can guess most of them. According to victims who cooperated with the FBI in that investigation, these documents in FBI possession, your possession, detail at least 20 men including Mr. Jess Staley, CEO of Barclays Bank. By the way, another takedown of the Brits with another British victim of the Epstein revelations. After we had Prince Andrew, after we had

1:07:05 Mandelson, the ambassador to the US from the UK. Now it's the Barclays Bank CEO, oopsie. Who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to. Victims including minors such as Virginia Roberts, Euphry, may she rest in peace. That list also includes at least 19 other individuals, one Hollywood producer. One Hollywood producer. Dana Brunetti? Nah, seems unlikely. You never know! He's hidden on the ranch. You don't know. Okay. But you know what? I bet you he knows who it is. I bet you he does too. And he's gonna tell us.

1:07:43 If I stop pestering him about his Tesla. Teslas are great! Now tell us, tell us, tell us. If you say that he'll tell us everything. Okay, I love Teslas. I wish I had a Tesla. Worth a few hundred million dollars, one royal prince, one high-profile individual in the music industry. Mmmmm, high-profile individual. That could be anybody. But I'm thinking Clive. Yeah but Clive is gay and they only have female victims. Clive is gay. He's gay as a three dollar bill. He's part of the Diddy thing. He got out of that. He got off scot-free. He was definitely part of the Diddy. I wonder who it could be? I don't know. Maybe it was Diddy.

1:08:27 He could be yeah, he could be deemed. Yeah, I know that would have been he'd been caught up in that by now Let's continue one very prominent banker. Yeah, that will be I got these guy. Well, you know, there's another banker Well, it's got to be someone at JP Morgan Chase And I don't I don't think it's Jamie Dimon, but it's got to be one level below him because the things that JP Morgan Chase was doing with his money. How much do you need? Cash? 800,000? Okay, send 50 grand to that girl? Yeah, it has to be somebody JP Morgan, you're right. One high-profile government official. No. Clinton. It has to be Clinton. Yeah, of course.

1:09:07 One high-profile former politician. Well, that could also be Clinton. That could be Clinton too. He's in there twice. So there's got to be at least one of them. There could be so many. This is a mystery. We will soon know. One owner of a car company. That's got to be the Ferrari guy. In Italy. You think? I don't think you did. Yeah, in Italy. Well, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. One high-profile former politician. One owner of a car company in Italy. Come on, in Italy. What other guy in Italy? Fiat. Maybe. Ferrari guys don't need to go to this place. Come on. Okay. They got one Rari to drive around. They can get anyone they want. Hey, babe. Wanna ride? One rock star. One rock star.

1:09:54 Well, you should know who this is. If Bernetti knows who the producer is, you have to know who this is. I'm hoping it's Bono. That would just... Oh, that would be perfect. That would be great if it was Bono. That would be excellent. That's got to be Copperfield. There's no other magician. One magician. What other magician? And Copperfield, I think he was on one of the flights, wasn't he? Wasn't he in the flight log? Was he? Well, then it would be him. Yeah. And he always... He looks like the kind of guy that would be... He looks like that kind of guy. He just has a look. At least six billionaires, including a billionaire from Canada.

1:10:34 We know these people exist in the FBI files, the files that you control. I don't know exactly who they are, but the FBI does. Yeah. So we'll find out. And the six billionaires will include Bill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bill. And five other billionaires, or four others and one in Canada. Yeah. The Canadian billionaire is probably a property guy. Now, but notice Massey didn't say these girls were underage. Trafficking can be can be transporting someone across state lines even if it's with their cooperation. It's all so sketchy. What we really want to know is what about MI6? What about Mossad? What about CIA? What about these connections? What about your connections to MIT? Joey Ito?

1:11:29 Come on, this is the stuff that we care about. Everyone's pedophiles. Nah, it's going to be less than you think. Pretty sure of that. It's going to be disappointing because you know, they scrubbed Trump. It's always disappointing. That's the whole theme that we've noticed over almost over 18 years of doing the No Agenda era. Yes. Well, they scrubbed Trump out of it, man. That's why he had the 30 days. Scrubbed him. Scrubbed him right out. Scrubbed him out. So... Yeah, well that's not gonna fly. That doesn't make any sense. Okay, so there's a new op. We already felt it coming. Now it's definitely on deck. The op is... You might have noticed there's not a lot of Israel hate lately. Not as much as there used to be. Now it's Islam. Muslims. The Muslims. The Muslims in Texas, baby.

CHAPTER 14 / 33 Discussion

Texas Mosque Controversy, Sharia Law Rumors, Influence Operations

A viral social media campaign has raised alarms about the alleged rapid spread of Islam and Sharia law in Texas, specifically targeting a planned community in Irving now called "The Meadow." Influencers have circulated maps claiming 48 new mosques were built in two years, though these claims are largely unsubstantiated. The narrative suggests that voluntary Islamic arbitration panels are a precursor to the displacement of the U.S. Constitution, a sentiment echoed by various political groups ahead of the midterms.

texas· mosques· sharia law· meadow· irving· nypd

1:12:25 So everyone... Yes, I don't... Do I have a clip on this? I have a couple. Do you have anything? I'm looking because I remember because this you're right there's been two or three things they've read yeah maybe no I thought well one of the tick talkers went off about this but I don't have it it's there they're bitching about that you know that Muslim compound up there by Fort Worth or wherever it is which doesn't even exist yet doesn't exist yet but they've already renamed it to the meadow yes so that that's just and this by the way this is rampant in Fredericksburg Everyone's texting everybody the same thing where you see this Sharia law in Texas. You see this map zoom in and it's like they built 48 mosques in two years which that I actually went and did some digging not true at all.

1:13:16 takes a big place. The 48 mosques, you know, there's 300,000 churches in America. It's not like we have to be all of a sudden be super afraid. But now this is the new meme. We know that Flynn brought a whole bunch of influencers to DC to talk about the danger of Islam and this is kind of... You think that's what triggered this whole thing? No, I can tell you exactly what triggered it. And this is from a group that's working on this op. It is a total op. It's all political. It's all about the midterms. I have no doubt about it. So the op's supposed to accomplish a more Democrat, bigger blue wave? No, no, no. The op is supposed to accomplish... The opposite? A red wave? Yeah, of course!

1:14:04 Because it all started... But they're not going to do it through Muslim hate. Ah, but they're going to. You have to understand this the rare foundation, which is not a foundation as far as I can tell, Resistance Against Islamic Radicals, R-A-I-R, which is a fun little take on C-A-I-R, the Council of American Islamic Relationals. That's professional. It's professional. They don't really have as much juice as I thought they would. I said juice, J-U-I-C-E. But this is the kind of stuff that they put out and it all started with Mondani. On Rare TV, we are naming the threat plainly. Our enemies have placed a dangerous foreign infiltrator inside New York's government. And his name is Zohra Mondani. And under federal law, he has been eligible to be stripped of his citizenship and deported. The question is, why is our government not acting?

1:14:59 Mamdani became a US citizen in 2018. Under federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. section 1451A, citizenship can be revoked if it was obtained by concealment or misrepresentation or if, within five years, the individual affiliates with communist, totalitarian, or terrorist movements. Mamdani did exactly that. He publicly defended the Holy Land Five. The men convicted on 108 counts of financing Hamas. No, I can't find any evidence of this, nor do they show any evidence or link to any evidence. They just say it. He is a card-carrying member of the DSA. I don't think the DSA has cards. I don't think they have cards, no. This is a Bank of America card. It's not. A MasterCard. It's not a political party.

1:15:53 It's a socialist Marxist group who do auditions and train people who look good, theater kids, and put them into positions of power. It has nothing to do with him being Muslim. Has everything to him being the right guy like AOC. It's the same thing. It's not you can't carry the car. Also the tattoo guy up in Maine. Yeah, that yeah tattoo guy. The largest Marxist operation in America openly aligned with foreign communist parties in Cuba, Europe, Asia, Africa, Africa and Latin America openly allied. What does it even mean? He expressed allegiance to the Communist Party of India in 2020. Well, inside the five year window.

1:16:34 and he glorified Hamas' US finance arm in a 2017 recording before he took the oath of citizenship. Okay, so this is now propagated by influencers everywhere because this is the thing you've got to jump on. And by the way, Candace Owens, you better jump to this because the Israel thing is over now and everyone has now moved over to Muslims and what they're all pointing towards, of course, is well, this is what happened in the UK. This is what happened in Europe. Well, absolutely. Oh yeah, you can do the UK analogy. That's a good idea. Absolutely. That might get you some votes. But, but...

1:17:09 And it's intended to do that. That's exactly what it's intended for. Here's one of the influencers. American lumberjack! This what you're seeing on your screen right now is not another country. It's America. And this... Don't even know if it's America, but okay, we'll take his word for it. A bunch of chanting Muslims. Gathering here of Muslims was in the city of Irving. Texas, where two Sharia law courts are operating and have already ruled on over 300 cases. Now, do you understand how serious this Islam problem is, America? Yes, two Islamic tribunals operate in the United States, functioning as voluntary arbitration panels, applying Sharia law and Sharia principles in civil disputes like divorce and inheritance.

1:18:00 This is how it starts. Just like the UK, slow at first. And then boom, it's here. And then boom, it's here! These setups comply with Texas arbitration laws. So, did you hear the meme in there? 48 mosques in two years. It's just not true. By the way, the map you're showing, that's a pretty big area. That's a big area. So yeah, there's mosques all over America. Big deal. They portray it as All these Muslims, they're in there, they're all doing Sharia law, they're going around American law, they don't care, blah, blah, blah. They're gonna take us over, they're gonna, the enemy from within. According to the Constitution of the United States of America, there is no other law allowed in the land except for the Constitution. And if this wasn't bad enough, the NYPD is teaching people how to wear hijabs. Oh, hijabs, oh yes, oh, oh, oh my gosh.

CHAPTER 15 / 33 Discussion

Greg Abbott, Muslim Brotherhood, Terrorist Designation Proclamation

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a proclamation designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations. This move allows the state to ban these groups from acquiring land and authorizes the Attorney General to sue for their closure. Critics, including George Galloway, noted the historical origins of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1950s London, while others viewed Abbott's move as a political response to pressure from right-wing influencers.

greg abbott· muslim brotherhood· cair· texas· george galloway· mi6

1:18:57 Hijabs! Hijabs! Hijabs! Hijabs! Let's vote for hijabs! Yeah, hijabs. Oh, we're gonna be very afraid. So this is working because Abbott, I think, is under fire. This is why they're talking about Texas. Abbott is under fire. He's not universally loved in Texas for a whole bunch of reasons. Yeah, he jumps. Well, he doesn't jump, but he comes into action when You know, there's a flood or something else going on. So he immediately feels there's something wrong. I got to do something about this. I got to jump on this. All right, let's stay in Texas because Governor Greg Abbott made news this morning by declaring two groups as foreign terrorist organizations. Let's go to our breaking news correspondent, Chanel Cole, who's been following the story for us from the newsroom in New York. Chanel, what did the governor have to say today?

1:19:49 Well, he made this announcement, Mugo, this morning through this proclamation, essentially now designating two groups, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American Islamic Relations, as foreign terrorist groups. OK, so a proclamation, whatever, it's just a statement. But it's the Muslim Brotherhood that we're bringing back. Oh, the Muslim Brotherhood. Yes, yes, yes. Which is a creation of the MI6, I believe. Well, let's just... actually we could... didn't I have that Galloway thing? Should probably play that here. Here we go. This is George Galloway. We played it on the previous episode. Here he goes. Indeed, this has a long and inglorious history. The British invented it, as in so much else. We helped found and nourished, nurtured the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in the early 1950s.

1:20:53 so that we could use them against the Arab nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, President Nasser. We invented the Muslim Brotherhood. It was invented in London and it was, its first outing, though not its last, was to undermine the pan-Arabic message of the Nasserists. And well, We've fallen out with the Muslim Brotherhood from time to time, but occasionally they can still be useful to each other, if you get my drift. Alright, so I knew this was an op for sure when I saw not one, but two guests pop up on Bannon's war room talking about this. Oh, oh, Muslims, Muslims, who are a Muslim Brotherhood? I have to ask you this, what do you think?

1:21:47 Do you think Bannon would be part of an op like this or you think he's been so kicked out of the circle of ops that he's just a dupe? No, no, no. When you hear him talk, he's in on the op. The first guy is John Guandolo. Former FBI special agent counterterrorism expert in 2022 he organized training sessions for right-wing citizens about the perceived threat of communist and jihadist networks and to organize communities into operational forces to identify roots of corruption and dismantle the hostile networks behind it and here it comes.

1:22:27 and re-establish a Republican form of government at the local level, which were joined by former Trump National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn. So this is a Flynn guy, and I think pretty sure Bannon's in on the op. Talk to me about the state of Texas. I would assume since Texas is one of the great Christian states in the union that we don't have a problem down there with Islamic Jihad creeping in, sir? I think you know better than that. So about 15 years... You know better than that because you're read in on the op, sir. You know, you're read in. You know better than that. So about 15 years... Actually, that's what he said. Yeah, you know better than that. Why are you sir-ing me? You know this is an op.

1:23:12 Christian states in the Union that we don't have a problem down there with with his Islamic Jihad creeping in, sir? I wonder if he actually is his superior. He has rank over him for some reason Bannon has to say sir. I mean he was a naval guy after all. It's possible. Yeah I think you know better than that. So about 15 years ago I'm gonna back up and just quickly mention this you know we had in Tennessee the jihadis... Wait hold on, stop this clip. So So first of all he says you know better than that as though they're already into the script way too far. And then right away he's gonna back up. Back up to what? What are you backing up for? Why don't you just answer the question? I mean, what are you backing up? I'm gonna back up. It all will become relevant in a moment. I'll just quickly mention this. You know we had

1:24:01 in Tennessee, the jihadi, the Islamic movement in North America, and specifically the United States targeted Tennessee. And my professional assessment is they took Tennessee under a Republican governor, by the way, which is what we're seeing in Texas. It took Tennessee. It's a playbook. Did he say they took Tennessee? He says they took Tennessee under a Republican governor. This is an attack on Abbott. The whole thing is multifaceted, but it is an attack on Abbott. Oh, that's very good again. Under a Republican governor, by the way. Yeah, they're going after Abbott because Abbott is, I don't know, not towing the line or who knows what.

1:24:43 They targeted Tennessee and especially Nashville initially. Nashville. Has Nashville become a hotbed of Muslim activity and jihadists? Is Sharia law in place in Nashville? No. That doesn't sound right. No. Because of the fact they viewed it as the buckle of the Bible belt, if you will. When they took it, you know, about seven and a half years ago, they sent one of their most significant Islamic jurists, a guy named Yasser Qadhi to Texas.

CHAPTER 16 / 33 Discussion

Frank Gaffney, Civilization Jihad, Bannon War Room

On Steve Bannon's "War Room," guests John Guandolo and Frank Gaffney discussed the perceived threat of "civilization jihad" in the United States. They claimed that Islamic jurists are targeting Republican-led states like Tennessee and Texas to slowly infiltrate media and government institutions. The discussion emphasized a belief that Sharia law is inherently expansionist and aimed at global imposition, urging citizens to organize "operational forces" to dismantle these networks at the local level.

frank gaffney· steve bannon· john guandolo· jihad· sharia· tennessee

1:25:23 And when he moved from Memphis at the Memphis Islamic Center to Texas, I alerted some of my colleagues, including guys like Frank Gaffney, who you know well and have had on the show, but others, friends of mine that do this work a little more under the radar. Under the radar! And we knew that that meant that the jihadi movement, the Islamic movement in the United States was targeting Texas. Okay. So, other guys under the radar. When Frank Gaffney comes up, I'm like, hold on a second, we've been doing this show for 18 years. Let me go back 15, let me see if I can find a clip that is maybe similar to this? This is when Obama was president and the same

1:26:13 Same memes, everything was you, same guys, same people. We're going to be taking over Sharia law. National Journal reports the president believes he has no choice but to cultivate the brotherhood and other groups he believes are relatively moderate. One State Department official tells the magazine quote, the war on terror is over. And now the Arab world may find a route to democracy through Islamism. But those moves may hurt the president politically. CBN News terrorism analyst Eric Stackelback joins us now for more on this story. Eric, you attended an event earlier today, I understand, about the Muslim Brotherhood. What did you find out?

1:26:52 Lee, very timely event with what Wendy just described. The Obama administration is obviously openly now embracing Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. Well, today at the National Press Club here in Washington, D.C., the Center for Security Policy had a really eye-opening event, Lee. They are releasing a 10-part online instructional course online video instructional course for the average American all about the Muslim Brotherhood. It's called the Muslim Brotherhood in America. It breaks down this group, what they're all about and why they're so dangerous. And we spoke to Frank Gaffney, the president of the Center for Security Policy. Let's look at that now.

1:27:34 Same thing we're teaching people. That's what Guandalo is doing training training for citizens be afraid of the scary Muslims Let's get it's so good with with social media just have people showing maps and like all zooming in look at all these moss Oh, no, it's horrible and they bring back Frank Gaffney jihad Which is commended by Sharia? Takes more than one form we are not winning A war that we honestly are not even recognizing we're in. Against jihadists that are using not just violence against us.

1:28:12 but civilization jihad as well. And Lee, I think that was a real takeaway from this event today, what Frank Gaffney just said. There are many forms of jihad that our enemies are using and not only violent jihad for the Muslim Brotherhood, it is a stealthy type. Frank Gaffney called it civilization jihad. Their philosophy is, hey, we don't have to blow you up now. We can win through elections. We can get jobs in the media, the government. slowly, slowly infiltrate and then the final stage is yes, violent jihad.

1:28:49 Getting everybody riled up for the midterms. We've all I'm already seeing people running for do they can ask this Yeah, do they mention during these interviews back and forth and back and forth that the entire the totality of the Muslim population in the United States amounts to 1.3 percent 1.3 percent of the population no, of course not of which maybe 200,000 live in Texas No, but it's... I doubt, I doubt, well... I think it's 200,000. Maybe. It could be a couple hundred thousand in Texas. But the thing is, the epic thing, now renamed as Meadow, I mean, those AI videos of what it's going to look like have been going around for at least two years now. Right, they haven't even dug a hole yet. No! And the church ladies are beyond themselves. Half of the pastors who have

1:29:44 There's pastors, these younger guys, like 40, and all have YouTube podcasts. Hold on a second, you said 40. I know, I know. In pastor land that's young. And they have the YouTube award behind them. I've already seen enough. Dude, really? You got your YouTube award? So what is important to you? Your YouTube award. All right, fine. That's idolatry. It's definitely. It's pride. It's idolatry. And they're more interested in clicks. And so they're all in on it because, you know, this is what I'm sure if you're talking from the pulpit about, well, we can't have the Muslims coming in. Yeah, preach, preach. No.

1:30:29 This is dumb. And I had two more clips from Bannon. Here's a continuation with the Guandolo. And what we've seen is Yasser Qadhi, who is arguably, if not the top, one of the top Islamic jurists in the United States, Came to Texas, moved to Plano, became an Islamic jurist at the East Plano Islamic Center. Okay, okay, hang on. Slow down, slow down, slow down. Slow down. When you say jurist, I'm wondering if you understand. You're saying a guy that is like a Supreme Court judge, a guy on Sharia law, correct? What does he try to do? And we take it.

1:31:10 And I'm going to get back to Tennessee in a moment. You say take it what they want, and this is what Frank Gaffney has preached for two decades. It's about Sharia supremacism. That is absolutely correct. And you just hit on a couple really important points. Brilliant. First of all, Sharia is real law. We have a lot of people who pose as quote moderate Muslims, you know, your Raheel Raza's, your Kanta Ahmed's who go on Fox News and CNN and they say, you know, there's Islam and there's Islamism, there's Sharia and there's Sharia law. And they try to parse this out. When you get Sharia, you get the whole bag of worms. And it is really important for everyone to understand that Sharia

1:31:54 states that the purpose of his... Hold on a second. My understanding is it's always a can of worms. I've never heard of a bag of worms. Correct! It is really important for everyone to understand that Sharia states that the purpose of Islam is to wage war against the non-Muslim community until Sharia is imposed on the earth. Period. Yeah, Sharia on the earth period everywhere. Oh yeah. You know, by the way, this explains I don't have these clips. But now that you brought this up, if I had an eye out for this a little sooner, unfortunately we don't discuss anything. No. Well, fortunately. It's probably good. There has been at least three women TikTokers that have come on extolling the virtues. Oh, I was, I turned, I'm a Muslim.

1:32:49 and they go at the young dipshit types and they're going on and on about how they're no, you know, and it's disturbing and I think it's part of the op. Oh yeah, well it's the I love Jesus trick. This is, since you brought it up, I wasn't gonna play it but I will play this once again from Rare TV. Beware Christians, from London to Texas. Beware Christians, from London to Texas, because that's a connection I make every day. Dangerous and well-funded campaign is spreading across the West seeking to deceive believers into thinking that the Jesus of the Bible is the same as the Isa of Islam. They are pouring millions into glossy billboards, t-shirts and high-tech Islamic recruitment videos.

CHAPTER 17 / 33 Discussion

Christian-Muslim Outreach, Rare TV, Religious Deception Claims

Rare TV issued a warning to Christians regarding a campaign that suggests the Jesus of the Bible is the same as the Isa of Islam. The report claims that "Dawah" programs use marketing materials like t-shirts and billboards to convince Christians of a shared reverence for Jesus to weaken their faith. Critics of this outreach argue it is a global operation designed to expand the Islamic "Ummah" and eventually establish a caliphate.

rare tv· jesus· isa· dawah· caliphate· christianity

1:31:54 states that the purpose of his... Hold on a second. My understanding is it's always a can of worms. I've never heard of a bag of worms. Correct! It is really important for everyone to understand that Sharia states that the purpose of Islam is to wage war against the non-Muslim community until Sharia is imposed on the earth. Period. Yeah, Sharia on the earth period everywhere. Oh yeah. You know, by the way, this explains I don't have these clips. But now that you brought this up, if I had an eye out for this a little sooner, unfortunately we don't discuss anything. No. Well, fortunately. It's probably good. There has been at least three women TikTokers that have come on extolling the virtues. Oh, I was, I turned, I'm a Muslim.

1:32:49 and they go at the young dipshit types and they're going on and on about how they're no, you know, and it's disturbing and I think it's part of the op. Oh yeah, well it's the I love Jesus trick. This is, since you brought it up, I wasn't gonna play it but I will play this once again from Rare TV. Beware Christians, from London to Texas. Beware Christians, from London to Texas, because that's a connection I make every day. Dangerous and well-funded campaign is spreading across the West seeking to deceive believers into thinking that the Jesus of the Bible is the same as the Isa of Islam. They are pouring millions into glossy billboards, t-shirts and high-tech Islamic recruitment videos.

1:33:34 trying to convince Christians that Muslims love Jesus too. So as you guys can see I love Jesus because I'm Muslim. This is our first line of merch that we have released because our program is Da'wah which is inviting, educating non-Muslims, Americans about Islam. One of the biggest misconceptions in our society, particularly in the West, is that people don't understand about our love for Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. I love Jesus because I'm a Muslim. Before I was a Muslim, I had no idea that Jesus, prayers and peace be upon him, I had no idea that he even had a place in Islam. Jesus is revered in Islam. When I was a Christian, I had a love and respect and admiration for Jesus. As a Muslim, that doesn't end. It only grew. But behind the slick marketing lies a darker truth. A global operation to blur the line between Christianity and Islam.

1:34:25 To weaken believers, draw you from the cross and expand the ummah in preparation for an Islamic world order. The rise of a caliphate. The rise of a caliphate! So you have basically with that clip Through in at least three tick tock clips so you know some you know kind of a subtext So I object to that. It was a good clip overall. It was so anti that was her clip I Know but you play yeah, okay? Only because you brought it up. I did bring it up and it was and I wish I had the clips my clips are a little different But you're it's the same exact thing as part of I think you love this start with this I'm only complaining about you complaining But I will say that this op which will lose us another group of listeners as we normally do with everything who I

1:35:27 I'm just saying right now, we're going to lose support because we can't... Every time we reveal ops, which are obvious once you deconstruct them, the more you play, the more obvious it is. Yeah, people get mad. And by the way, in my opinion, this particular op, if we're going to just go with it 100%, is lame. I don't think this is the if this is the best they can do it this has got to be some part Bannon's group or something this is lame well this is gonna get no but this is not gonna drive the vote no this is pathetic but there's money to be made with the minute Flynn is in on this stuff because that's what we first heard about it he brought all right don't forget Bannon didn't Bannon build some of the wall yeah yeah by the way when we do ops we're not trying to win the approval of human beings

1:36:23 We're trying to tell you something. We're trying to give you truth here. Nah, you can't handle the truth. So here's the last one. This is another Bannon guy. They can handle the truth. The good producers can handle the truth. Of course. Yeah, the good ones can. So this is another guy. If I hadn't seen two guys in one week, it would have been less convincing that Bannon's in on it. This is Peter McIlvenna. And Peter McIlvenna, he... is co-founder of Hearts of Oak, a UK-based freedom of speech alliance. So there could be a North Sea nexus element to this, considering the Muslim Brotherhood is a UK invention.

CHAPTER 18 / 33 Discussion

Dallas-Houston Mosque Claims, Midterm Election Strategy, Abbott Criticism

Political commentators on Steve Bannon's platform claimed that Texas will have more mosques than any other state by the end of the decade, specifically citing rapid increases in the "Dallas-Houston area" and Austin. These claims are being used to criticize Governor Greg Abbott's leadership, suggesting he has allowed an "invasion" of foreign influence. Analysts suggest this rhetoric is an experimental political operation intended to drive voter turnout for the upcoming midterm elections.

dallas· houston· austin· greg abbott· steve bannon· midterms

1:37:06 So, you know, there may be an angle to this we haven't quite seen yet, but here's him. Texas, by the end of the decade, will have more mosques than any other state in the U.S. At the moment, California, I think, has got around 400 mosques, Texas around 350. But Texas added 50 mosques over the last 24 months. So he's taken it from 48 to 50 now. So now it's 50 over. This is the meme. 48 in two years he's taken it to 50. I'm not as rapidly increasing in Irving where I was. As rapidly increasing? No evidence, but it's rapidly increasing. I'm not as rapidly increasing in Irving where I was. Hold on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, slow down. That's good, that's good, interruption. How many mosques in the last 24 months? This is an outrage.

1:37:59 48 mosques in the last 24 months and that is rapidly increasing. Rapidly. Rapidly increasing. Rapidly. And where I was... Hang on, they're opening multiple mosques per month in the state of Texas? Yes, sounds surprised. Yes, and this is not an epic city issue which is one area that everyone is focusing on, thank God. This is primarily in the Dallas Houston area and of course, this is in the urban area. What? Did he say Dallas Houston? I know. There is no Dallas Houston area.

1:38:38 Those are the two, they're far as far away as you can get. This is like, this is in the Los Angeles, San Francisco area. Very good. I should have caught that one. Very good. Very good. This guy's mainly in the Dallas Houston. Where you going vacation? Dallas Houston area. Okay. My God. This is the closest. is primarily in the Dallas Houston area and of course down in Austin this is in the urban areas. I think there are a huge amount of, I need to look at my figures, but there are around 200 mosques, 215 mosques I think that are now in the Dallas and

1:39:18 Houston area and around a hundred plus mosques in Austin. Okay, so we'll just wrap... A hundred mosques in Austin? I don't think that's true. But you know a mosque can be, you know, doesn't have to be a huge building. You know there's just dots on the map. Anyway, we'll wrap it up with this. Let's give you a bit of background as well Mugo about these organizations that we're talking about including the Muslim Brotherhood It may sound familiar to you. This is a group that was founded in Egypt It really rose to power rose to influence after the Arabs No.

1:40:07 well. But important to mention here that there has really been no material tie from the Muslim Brotherhood to CARE. Also, CARE, which is an American-based group, has never actually been charged with crimes like aiding and abetting a terrorist organization. And finally, I want to mention as well, Mugo, that when it comes to labeling groups with this label of a terrorist group or organization, it's really up to the U.S. State Department to do that. What the governor did today was a state proclamation. And so I want to show you what we found on my screen here. This is a social media post from Greg Abbott after he had made that proclamation. And what he's saying is

1:40:49 that this will have an impact in the state of Texas and the impact he says it will have is that it will allow some heightened enforcement against these two groups as well he says you'll see here this bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and also authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down. So they're going after Abbott for whatever reason Well, this is important. We have to figure out why they're going after Abbott. People don't like Abbott. Abbott is not popular in Texas. He's just not. Yeah, but that's got nothing to do with Bannon. Is he in Texas? No, no. But they got to start somewhere. And it's just so... when you say Texas is being taken, the most Christian state in the nation, I think one of them said,

1:41:38 Bannon said that. When you say that, then everyone else gets freaked out. And this whole... I know we have producers... Well, I like to... I think the parallel that you made, which... or pointed out when the guy says, oh, they took over Nashville, a state run by a Republican. We have producers in Dearborn, Michigan. I would like to know, is it as bad as the TikTok and Instagram videos portend? Because all you hear, oh, Dearborn, Dearborn has been taken over by the Muslims. They run it all. And they also play the call to prayer. Yeah. It is absolutely true that if you look at, I know the Netherlands for sure and the UK, that Muslims have taken office in city councils, mayors, absolutely. Look at the City of London. I mean London, I shouldn't say the City of London.

1:42:37 Sadiq Khan, you know, and yeah, well then get off your your blessed assurance and go run for office. Run for office. Take a genius. What's that? Doesn't take a genius to vote somebody out. No, and run yourself. I mean, but this is an op and I agree with you. I think it's weak, but it right now it's it's really dominating the airwaves here in Fredericksburg. Everybody's talking about it. Well, again, it's another one of these, maybe it's experimental to see where it could go so they could, so a real op, a dynamite one could come out closer to the midterms because these things blow over. Yeah, this is no good. It's possible. That's what all we're looking at. And it's no big deal one way or the other. Could be. Could be. Yeah. And there's gonna be some other experiments. They've got to do something because Trump's

1:43:30 scheme about the Epstein files fell apart. And that's not going to have any effect whatsoever. And the Democrats are going to kick ass. I've said this before, I'll say it again. They're going to kick ass in the midterms and they're going to impeach Trump again. And the last two years of his administration are going to be sidelined. And then the economy falls apart. Well, the economy is going to fall apart one way or the other sometimes. Sometime in the near future. It just does that. Well, eventually, sure. Every 20 years it does it. So it's due to fall apart between 2027 and 2028. By the way, the redistricting has been halted here in Texas.

1:44:16 Remember that yeah by the some legal thing well by one safety is gonna happen in California the redistricting in California is not gonna happen I said this from the get-go Constitutional lawyer Rob sent me a whole blurb about it. It was one of the one of the three judges who was even in the In the, what do you call it, the opinion that one of the other two judges wrote said, you know, you're like a sorrow stooge. Just going off on each other about how this one judge has halted this. Right now there's no redistricting happening.

CHAPTER 19 / 33 Discussion

Gen Z Listeners, Alpha-Gal Syndrome, Lone Star Tick

The podcast addressed its growing Gen Z audience and clarified a previous discussion regarding Alpha-gal syndrome, a meat allergy caused by the Lone Star tick. A mammalogist listener corrected the hosts on the classification of marsupials as mammals and shared a personal account of developing a beef allergy after a tick bite. The segment also noted the establishment of a new Discord server by Sir Patrick Coble to facilitate better communication among the show's "intelligence" community.

gen z· alpha-gal· lone star tick· mammalogy· beef allergy· discord

1:44:57 My understanding about the difference in Texas and California is that Texas was told to redistrict. Well, that's that's the meme. Yeah. Told by Trump. I don't know if it's true or not. Told by Trump. California was just a Newsom thing. Yeah. By the way, thank you for listening, podcast enthusiasts. We have clearly a lot of Gen Z listeners. We welcome you all. And thank you for setting us straight on the straw hat pirate flag. Holy moly, how many emails did you receive about this? Well, all the emails I received, I hate to say this, but about a month ago I described this flag and where it came from early on and it's long since a typical of the show been forgotten by their listeners and they're saying they're trying to educate us. I got a few. I must have gotten 50. Well, I did not get 50. And that this is from an anime?

1:45:57 Yeah, this is what I said a month ago. I'm sure you did. I didn't remember it. Nobody did. From one piece. One piece. By the way, Sir Patrick Coble has notified me he will be setting up the No Agenda Discord so that we can get some intelligence people in. Oh, Coble. Yep. That's the guy to do it. That way you have a backdoor to the CIA. Danielle Nevada writes in, says, as a younger millennial male, I want to provide my perspective on the meanness issue. When I first heard the reports of you being mean to John, I thought it was a gag. For years, it's been clear to me that John is the bully in the partnership and you are masterful at disarming and dealing with it. Thank you. Exactly. So Tina wrote that? No. Leanne came in. She's from, actually I think she lives in California. Leanne Webb.

1:47:00 Wife to the OG Godcaster. Hi Adam, John says he wants to hear from the ladies. I'm weighing in. There have been brief moments throughout the whole 18 years of listening to you guys that both of you have been snippy with each other. But it is my humble opinion that John does a lot to push you and to try and make you be snippy. Aha! There it is! He sometimes just shows up with a genuinely grumpy attitude. There are occasions where you, Adam, show up with a grumpy attitude also. But I must say, it's more rare than it used to be. Mm-hmm. There you go. Well, that's because he's found Christ. That's exactly what she says. That is exactly right. So I'd say the jury is still out on who's really the snippy bully.

1:47:46 Well, we both know it's you. So, uh, I have a here I have to read this. This is a douchebag comment because the guy hasn't donated. I told him to donate. Oh, do you have a douchebag voice to do this in? No, this is this is interesting. I'm a mammologist. What we're talking about the the the Alpha Gal. Oh, yes the Alpha Gal the Lone Star tick makes you allergic to meat apparently By the way, I find the name of this thing Alpha Gal cuz they're all talking about alpha males and the names thing Alpha Gal What is that all about? I'm a mammologist he writes and just wanted to mention that on the Sunday show. This is a minicopa

1:48:26 You refer to marsupials and some other species as not mammals. Oh marsupials are mammals, you idiot. And the other species are definitely mammals. They have hair and mammary glands. That's the kicker that would include a kangaroo. That's why they're called mammals. Hello. For milk production. Just an FYI. This is interesting now. Now it gets good. I have had alpha-gal from a lone star tick, a lone star tick bite, I'm sorry. I was working on bats in North Carolina and had a tick attached for about 24 hours. About three months later, I broke out into full body hives

1:49:11 And after eating a hamburger, it happened a few more times after eating beef and I went for the test. In other words, he got sick from eating the hamburger. It came back positive. I was lucky. I could eat pork and venison, both mammals, with no ill effect, only beef. Did he give you his vaccination history? Which may include alpha-gal? I wait, he says, I waited two years before introducing beef little by little back into my diet and I'm happy to report I'm back on the beef baby. So luckily it can go away for some people over time. Oh, well, good. Now donate.

1:50:01 I told him to donate in a retort. I sent him and he sent a note back saying he's been guilted into donating. He is going to donate. Good work. Probably five bucks. It's okay. Hey, value is value. That's what I say. We do have some new terms, which I'm very happy to hear since we have been being educated by our new Gen Zeds. I think we just have to keep calling them Gen Zeds. I think that's better. The Zeds are here. The Zeds are listening. And the Zeds like it because, you know, they're not getting duped by AI crap because we happen to know the background of stuff like this.

CHAPTER 20 / 33 Discussion

Gen Z Dating Terms, Throning, Shreking, Banksying

A new set of dating terms has emerged among Gen Z to describe various "toxic" relationship behaviors. These include "throning" (dating for status), "shreking" (prioritizing inner beauty only for it to backfire), "banksying" (emotionally withdrawing without notice), and "monkey barring" (securing a new partner before leaving an old one). Relationship coaches suggest these terms are being invented to help young people process increasingly complex digital dating experiences.

gen z· dating· throning· shreking· banksying· monkey barring

1:50:39 We know historical background and you know 15 years ago when we first played that clip about the Muslim Brotherhood there were two so Welcome Zeds. We love it to have you here But there are some new dating terms that we should know about since we are woefully uneducated about today's dating. Back now in the morning buzz, remember situationships? Well there's a whole new batch of dating terms emerging in the digital age. I can totally relate to all these. Maybe you're single looking for love or a parent. who wants to understand what your teenager is going through. So here's a quick overview of the current lingo. Okay, so throning is when you date someone more popular or powerful to boost your social status. And then there's shreking, like the movie Ogre. It means you put looks lower on your list, hoping that someone shows you their inner beauty, but your strategy ends up backfiring, which is why they call it throning.

1:51:36 shreking. That's a shame. Another term is banksying, like the elusive street artist you slowly withdraw emotionally from your partner without telling them. And then there's monkey barring, making sure you have secured a new love before officially letting go of your ex. Sort of like if you quit your job you need a new one. It works the same with relationships. All of these terms equate to toxic dating. Just making that very clear here. One dating coach shared a theory that people are struggling to make sense of their experiences, so they're inventing new words to process them. Oh, okay. I don't buy it. Um, I, I've heard of some, some, some, uh, these are like either local terms or they're, nobody says this crap. I've heard throning. I've heard throning. Yeah, I've heard throning. Um, I have a little bit on Venezuela.

CHAPTER 21 / 33 Discussion

Operation Southern Spear, Venezuela Oil Dispute, Essequibo Region

The U.S. military has ramped up pressure on Venezuela through "Operation Southern Spear," involving Marine training exercises in Trinidad and Tobago. While the operation is publicly framed as a drug interdiction effort, the underlying conflict involves a 200-year-old territorial dispute over the oil-rich Essequibo region of Guyana. Venezuela claims sovereignty over the area, where ExxonMobil recently discovered massive offshore oil reserves, leading to U.S. plans for a potential military base to protect energy interests.

venezuela· guyana· essequibo· exxonmobil· monroe doctrine· southern spear

1:52:31 If you want to hear it, because I think I've kind of figured out what's really going on right now with the Southern Spear, Operation Southern Spear. Are you interested? You think you've figured out what's going on? Yeah. Beyond stopping the drugs into Europe? Oh, it's definitely part of the North Sea nexus. But it's not just about the drugs. Here's a quick update on the US ramping up pressure. New images tonight showing US Marines training here in Trinidad and Tobago. Multiple Osprey aircraft carrying out joint exercises with the local military as the US ramps up pressure on Venezuela.

1:53:11 For weeks, Marines from the same unit conducting live fire training operations across the Caribbean. Harrier fighter jets bombing targets. It comes as The New York Times reports President Trump signed off on additional covert CIA operations inside Venezuela that could lay the groundwork for a bigger military campaign, citing multiple people briefed on the matter. The president saying this week he is not ruling out putting U.S. troops on the ground in Venezuela. I don't rule on anything. We just have to take care of Venezuela. The Times also reporting Trump authorized a new round of backchannel negotiations with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, who reportedly offered to step down after a few years. But the White House rejected that plan. David, as far as the endgame here, many experts say, sure, it can be about stopping drugs in this part of the world, but it's also very likely about more than that. It's very likely about forcing President Maduro from power one way or another.

1:54:08 Well, not exactly. And I came across, because we watch all types of media, a report on RT. all places. Which included in this intro clip a little statement from the Venezuelan foreign minister at the recent United Nations gathering while everybody was talking about the escalator and the teleprompter other things were being discussed. It seems that the situation surrounding the disputed South American territory of a Essequibo is reaching its boiling point and that's all All thanks to the United States and, as some would say, Washington's never-ending pursuit for other nations' oil and gas. The government of the United States of America, considering itself to be the sovereign of our continent,

1:54:56 and with the excuse of the illegal Monroe Doctrine, has once again intervened in a territorial dispute that is more than 200 years old over our territory of Essequibo, Guyana. Today, the government of the United States of America wants to appropriate our oil resources using the company ExxonMobil. Okay, so if it's not about drugs or turf or it's always about resources this is oil of course yes, well, this is the disputed land between Guyana and Venezuela and here's a little background er on that guy from Guyana or Venezuela he's from Venezuela and

1:55:40 Now we're going back to RT. The lady will give us a little historical lesson about this disputed land and who really owns it. What does Washington have to do with the territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela? Well, let's take it back a little bit. This is a border dispute between Guyana and Venezuela. Each side claims that this stretch of land belongs to them. And it's quite a significant portion, just about 160 60,000 square kilometers. It's almost a third of Guyana. It's also very rich in oil and gas Venezuela has claimed the territory since it declared independence from Spain in 1811 Guyana which used to be a British colony insists that it belongs to them after Britain gained control through a treaty with the Netherlands back in 1814 But the argument here is that the treaty wasn't specific

1:56:33 when it comes to the borders. Fast forward a few decades and Venezuela asked the United States for help under the Monroe Doctrine, which opposed European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. Some even thought that this could lead to another war between Britain and the US. Now a tribunal in 1899 decided that the majority of the land belonged to the British colony, which of course was a huge disappointment for both Caracas and Washington. So when Guyana became independent in 1966, the border issue resurfaced. That's when it was decided, according to a Geneva agreement, that the territorial disputes would be reconsidered.

1:57:11 Meanwhile, relations between Venezuela and Washington have deteriorated. So, it's hardly surprising that Washington no longer seems to care about Venezuela's case, especially since Guyana gave drilling license to the US oil major ExxonMobil. And there it is. Where British Petroleum has licenses in Venezuela, ExxonMobil, our guys, have licenses in Guyana. And about 10 months ago, this happened. Oops, that was a beautiful cue but I screwed it up. Wow. Venezuelans voted to claim sovereignty over the oil rich Esquibo region and neighboring Guyana, escalating a long standing territorial dispute between the countries centered on energy resources and sparking international concerns about annexation. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro touted the election results as a total success for the country. Venezuela's National Electoral Council claimed 10

1:58:05 10.5 million voters turned out and passed the five question ballot with 95% approval. Voters were asked if they supported the establishment of a new state in the Esquibo area, and whether or not current and future residents there should be granted citizenship. Both Venezuela and Guyana view the area as sovereign. And Guyana has argued any action from Venezuela to claim it would amount to an annexation. Venezuela's interest in the Esquibo region was revived in 2015 when ExxonMobil discovered a massive offshore oil reserve in its waters. In the eight years since, some 46 offshore discoveries have been made, accounting for more than 11 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources. So we got the Guyana region, Esquibo, however you pronounce it, ExxonMobil, British Petroleum is in Venezuela.

1:58:51 And then all of a sudden Maduro says, yeah, we're gonna take that piece there. And Trump's like, no, that's our oil. We've got the deal. Remember, it's called Southern Spear. And now the US is apparently looking to set up a military base there. This is the Guyana guy. We denounce that the government of the United States of America intends to military. I'm sorry, this is still Venezuela guy. This situation, the US Southern Command wants to create a military base in the disputed territory in order to create a spearhead in its aggression against Venezuela and consolidate the plundering of our energy resources. So that's what it's about. That's why we're going to build a base there. No, you're not going to take the oil. We've got the deal. You're not going to take this country all of a sudden, this Esquibo. That's what the military operation is about. Yeah, the oil field is the Stabrook block.

1:59:51 It's a big one. And we did the Discovery. Yeah, we did. And it's ExxonMobil that did it. Yeah. And BP. This is classic. It used to be a Dutch Anglo thing. This is so classic. No, you're not going to have that. We'll sell it to you. But you can't just take it. Yeah, so we can make their lives miserable by blowing up these ships. Yeah. Well, well, the, there's, there's, can't get enough. The cocaine can't get into Europe. What are you going to do? You can't, cocaine can't get in. Teach you a lesson. America, baby, America. I was just blown away. Like I have to get this from RT. Where's our media? Uh, Keshoggi. I have to get this from RT. Epstein. I had to get it from RT.

CHAPTER 22 / 33 Discussion

Ryan Wedding, Olympic Snowboarder, Drug Trafficking Charges

Former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan James Wedding has been added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for allegedly running a massive transnational drug empire. Wedding is accused of importing 60 metric tons of cocaine annually into Los Angeles and is reportedly protected by the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico. FBI Director Kash Patel compared Wedding to notorious drug lords like Pablo Escobar, noting his involvement in murder, money laundering, and narco-terrorism.

2:00:42 Well, there's actually a cocaine story if you're done with that. Yeah, I am. Which also didn't show up very much. I mean, I could find it here and there online. About this guy Ryan Wedding. Who's this? Yeah, see, you never heard this. a major story. The Justice Department has announced new charges against former Olympian Ryan James Wedding, who is accused of running a massive transnational drug network. The former snowboarder is now one of the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives. And today's Christina Corona tells us more. The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that new charges have been unsealed against Ryan Wedding, a former Canadian snowboarder and

2:01:23 Olympic athlete now accused of running a massive drug trafficking empire. Authorities are offering a $15 million reward for his capture. He controls one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations in this world. He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine in Canada. Authorities say Weddings Group imports roughly 60 metric tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles using semi-trucks from Mexico moving over a billion dollars worth of narcotics across the Americas. So far 35 people have been indicted and authorities have seized over 4,000 pounds of drugs, weapons, 3.2 million in cryptocurrency and

2:02:09 $13 million in assets. FBI Director Kash Patel compared wedding to some of the world's most notorious drug lords. Ryan Wedding is a modern-day iteration of Pablo Escobar. He's a modern-day iteration of El Chapo Guzman. He is responsible for engineering a narco-trafficking and narco-terrorism program that we have not seen in a long time. Puts a whole new take on snowboarding. I know! And you know, if you're the assignment editor on a newspaper or these networks, This would be a top story because it's so interesting and the snowboard pun is absolutely part of it. Where did you get these clips from? NTD? Of course. Sounded a bit like Dana from that lawyer who used to be on Fox. What's her name? I guess it's not. Perino? No, no, no, no. I think, you know, with the dark hair. I don't know a Dana, the other Dana. Well, anyway, play part two of this and we'll...

2:03:10 And we'll wrap it up. We'll wrap it up. Wedding and 14 defendants, including a Canadian lawyer, are charged with orchestrating the January 2025 murder of a witness who was shot at a restaurant in Columbia. Wedding now faces additional counts, including witness tampering and intimidation, murder, money laundering and drug trafficking. Ryan Wedding is extremely dangerous. He's extremely violent and he's extremely wealthy. He's being protected by the Sinaloa cartel, along with others in the country of Mexico. We will find him and we will bring him to justice.

2:03:46 Law enforcement across the US, Canada and Mexico continue efforts to locate Wedding who remains among the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives. Christina Corona, NTD News. Wow, that is a good story. Why wouldn't they report on that? Other than that it's British. What takes away from the Epstein files? Oh, I'm sorry, Epstein, yes. Come on. Well, with that I want to thank you for your courage. Say hello to you, the man who put the sea in the cocaine empire. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John.

NHK Japanophiles, Astrid Klein, Mark Dytham, Hand Surgeon Request

A recent episode of NHK's "Japanophiles" profiled prominent architects Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, who are also high-level supporters of the podcast. The duo is renowned for designing iconic buildings and creative spaces in Tokyo since moving to Japan in 1988. Separately, a listener requested assistance from the community to find a hand specialist for a master mechanic suffering from a debilitating, undiagnosed condition.

2:04:44 They all missed the Ryan wedding story. They did. And they're going to miss a great donation story as we're going to thank our supporters here at the Best Podcast in the Universe who support us with time, talent and treasure. Big news out of Japan. Did you see the email this morning? Yes, I did. We got a I put it in the show notes. There was a half-hour profile done on NHK's Japanophiles Japanophiles of two of our top producers. In fact, they are the Grand Duchess and Duke of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea Dame Astrid and Sir Mark. Did you watch the video?

2:05:39 No, I haven't had time for it. I just got this morning. I'll just play the intro. It's really cool. A distinctive facade inspired by traditional Japanese openwork carving. It's a landmark located on one of Tokyo's most iconic shopping streets. This is a bookstore lounge that masterfully fuses international design sensibilities with the essence of traditional Japanese culture. These designs are the work of Astrid Klein from Italy and Mark Dytham from the United Kingdom. They met at the Royal College of Art in London and came to Japan in 1988. Since then, they've designed not only buildings but also interiors and furniture, creating spaces that foster communication and creativity for those who spend time there.

2:06:41 In this episode, Astrid Klein and Mark Dykham share insights from their decades of work in Japan. It's a little better with the video. You can see the buildings. Man, they have done some of the most iconic buildings in... Oops. No, they're dynamite. ...in Japan. They are. They are dynamite. So, those of you who support us, you are amongst good company. Go take a look at that episode and be like wow You want to go visit Tokyo right away? Go hang out with them, and they welcome all no agenda producers to their homes. I'm reliably informed This is a fact I want to get this out of the way. It's a note that came in About the donations, okay, I'm right. This is from Leora Coronel and

2:07:30 And she says, I'm writing that she got the executive producer credit for the last show, but she mentions this problem that happened. I have an explanation. I'm writing to request a correction of the mistake John made, hard to believe, but true. During the donation portion of the show, the fantastic vintage biological warfare department letterhead that was gifted to John at the meetup this past Saturday along with $300 donation was credited to someone named John Lake in Santa Cruz. Stolen Valor! However, it was actually from my smoking hot husband Gus Cornell from Nevada City, California. I don't really have any clue how I got that mixed up. Although it was sitting at the table inside before we moved outside and there was the handover of the beef and the letterhead and then it was in an envelope and people stuffed other stuff in the envelope. It was just the envelope with the donations. They shoved it in there and it got mixed up that way. Now, wait a minute. So I can go back and change.

2:08:31 It changed the credits. Oh, it was a $100 donation so it wasn't actually on the credits. No, no, it was a $300 donation. She corrected that. Oh. And you know what? There's nothing to change. She got her credit. Oh, yeah. She's on the list. It was a switcheroo. Right. No, she got it. She got to switch her route. She did. Yep, she did. Gus has had this letterhead since I met him over 25 years ago and he's been saving it for a special occasion ever since. So we have to definitely give Gus credit for saving it for the No Agenda show. Last week he finally decided that this special occasion would be meeting John in person Which he did. After the meetup, he was so excited that he got to give this awesome gift to John, and this is a killer. I'm sure you can understand our disappointment when someone else was given the credit. I feel bad about it. It's horrible.

2:09:20 Yeah, I'd like to make sure that Gus gets the credit he deserves. Yes, I remember Gus, the whole thing. I have no idea how this got mixed up in the, there was a pile of stuff. It's a pile of- Stuff happens. Stuff happens. Stuff happens. But Gus gets the credit. Now, thank you for your courage and thank you for your attention to this matter, your loyal listener and future dame, Leora. So that, yes, that letterhead, which is just a dynamite piece of memorabilia, is in the permanent collection. I got an emergency note from one of our knights, Sir Scott the Jew from North Idaho, speaking of our wonderful producer Poole, we have award-winning, world-renowned architects and many more. He says a close friend of mine has an emergency situation with his hand. He is a master mechanic so he of course relies on his hands. He has been struggling for months with massive swelling and debilitating pain.

2:10:15 And despite seeing multiple doctors, no one has been able to diagnose the problem. Are there any hand surgeons or specialists in Gitmo Nation who could help? He can travel if needed. Email s at sja.com. Thank you for your attention to this matter. You know what? It wouldn't surprise me if we have a hand specialist out there. I wouldn't be surprised in the least. No. I hope there is so this guy can get back on track. Yes, indeed. He needs that aggravation. Thank you. Really. Thank you to all of our trolls in the troll room who are listening. Noagendastream.com and of course using the modern podcast apps. Podcastapps.com. Value for value. It comes in many different forms.

AI Art Generation, Challenge Coins, Baroness Ladybird

The podcast reviewed recent AI-generated show art and discussed the design of a new "Rubber Lies" challenge coin by Paul Couture. A "switcheroo" donation was acknowledged from Baroness Ladybird in Louisiana, who dedicated her executive producer credit to retired Marine Corps Colonel Sean Wester. The hosts noted the difficulty of producing high-quality AI art, often referring to low-effort submissions as "slop."

2:11:02 We talk a lot about it. We talked a lot about on this show some of it is AI and Boy, did we get an AI piece of artwork for episode 1817 which we titled stunt grenade not stun but stunt grenade and of course that came through no agenda art generator comm which anybody can use and By the way, I've seen the designs for our rubber lies or challenge coin. It looks really nice that comes from Paul couture, right? Yes, and there I'll probably put them in the next newsletter. You can take a look at them Yeah, that will be obviously a very limited supply for rubble eyes. We won't have to make too many. That's for sure. No we won't So thank you blue acorn for doing a great piece of art

2:11:41 There's a bunch of robots sitting in the class looking at the blackboard. AI class and one, it says on the blackboard, listen, two, agree, three, kill self. And I guess we found that humorous. It's not as funny today. For some reason it doesn't feel as funny today looking at it. But man, it's so hard when people are just tapping away. There's so much art and none of it's good. Almost none of it. In hindsight, did some of those pirate flags come in? Or they came in later? No, they came in. There was a bunch of pirate flags. I wonder why we didn't use one of those. It might have been better.

2:12:21 I used the straw hat skull flag, which was not anything like the one that's going around. No. As a, for the newsletter. But the reason was, I think, is because these weren't the, this was an actual sombrero pirate flag. When it's not a sombrero, it's a straw hat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, there is one also from Blue Acorn, which I don't recall seeing. But you know, people just think that you still got to have talent to come up with something funny. And you got to re-prompt and prompt again and prompt some more. And why people... You know, what's interesting is this coach Joe has been submitting these crazy cartoons. I don't know what system he's using to get these things. Yeah. But they're all, they're interesting. They're not usable because everything's too small. Too small. Way too small. You can't read anything. Yeah. But it's...

2:13:16 He's definitely using a model that is not used by others. Nobody else is using whatever he's using. That's all I can say. Well, prompt well, prompt better, be a good prompter, or create something by hand. There's still people who do that from time to time and they do win quite often, I would say, because there's really nothing above, you know, some real human skills. Because this is the literal definition of slop, most of it. Noah ArtGenerator.com. Go ahead. Who are these two guys? Somebody took our pictures and swapped out the faces with some other people? Again, again. We're not going to use that. We're not going to use it, but who's that person that's playing you and who's the guy's the goofball that's my face? I think you're Schumer. You look like Schumer.

2:14:05 You look a little like Schumer. Yeah, who do I look like? Like some bad soap opera actor. You look like some... I don't know what you... Who... That's supposed to be... I think it's supposed to be someone. I don't know who it is. I don't know who that is. No, no idea. Anyway, Noah Jendar ArtGenerator.com. That wasn't going to get picked no matter what. No, Noah Jendar ArtGenerator.com. And believe me, there's still plenty of chances for you to win just looking at what's come in so far. Now we want to thank our, we thank everybody, $50 and above. We want to thank our executive and associate executive producers. You receive this credit when you are in the opportunity to donate $200 or more. We will not only give you the title of associate executive producer, which is a real Hollywood credit, can be used anywhere where Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com, which is kind of cool. You know, if you're out there throning or shreking,

2:15:03 You can say, hey, I'm a producer, associate executive producer. Oh really? Oh really? Prove it. Oh, go to IMDb. Look me up. Look me up on IMDb.com. Oh wow, yeah, it's true. $300 or more will get you an executive producership and same applies. We will read your note and we start off today with a switcheroo from Baroness Ladybird in Provencal, Louisiana and she says please deduce. You've been deduced. And give the executive producer credit to Sean Wester, Colonel, United States Marine Corps, retired.

Really appreciate the support and the kind words so many of you leave in the notes when ordering. It's humbling to know how many producers love our coffee. You know, their coffee grinds, I have a... I go... I don't use their coffee exclusively because I like to have contrast once in a while. Oh, everybody needs contrast. Yes.

2:22:17 Their coffee requires a coarse grind because it really, I don't know what it is, but it's interesting how every, if you got a Breville, you get this fine, you can fine tune, you have to, with a real Breville, you have to have it so the coffee starts coming out in the eight second mark. And so you have to keep adjusting the grind so this occurs. And their coffee really requires a very interesting grind compared to almost everybody else's. Wow, that's good info. Well, it's useless, sorry. No, it's not useless. We really appreciate your support. The kind words of so many... That's okay, I picked up the sarcasm. The kind words many of you leave in the notes. It's humbling to know how many producers love a coffee. That's the idea. And what... It's, by the way, still better than the contrasting coffees I try. Especially some of their blends. Every once in a while he hits something out of the park.

2:23:16 Also, a happy birthday to my amazing wife, Jen, the other half of Gigawatt. She did the design for the cans. She's obviously doing it. We love Jen's cans. Thank you.

Global Shellfish Shortage, Ultra-Processed Foods, Lancet Study

Japan is facing an unprecedented die-off of oysters and scallops attributed to rising water temperatures and salinity levels, which is expected to drive up global prices. Simultaneously, a major study published in The Lancet linked ultra-processed foods to a wide range of health issues, including cancer, diabetes, and early death. The study's authors argue that transnational food corporations engineer products to be addictive, leading to a public health crisis that now rivals tobacco in its impact.

oysters· scallops· japan· lancet· ultra-processed food· obesity

2:28:06 It's raining here. Cats and dogs. Raining cats and dogs here. It rained here last night, cats and dogs. Yeah. I want to play a little warning clip here. A warning clip? Yeah, oysters and scallops in Japan clip. This is part of... this is only part of a long presentation that was on NHK. and they have had an oyster kill off and the scallop kill off and they can't produce enough and their prices are gonna skyrocket. I don't know if it's gonna affect it, it doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else but the Japanese are gonna pay too much which means that they're gonna import stuff which means the prices are gonna go up so people should be out there aware of the fact that oysters and scallops may cost more.

2:28:47 There could be multiple factors behind the dead oysters. In addition to global warming, there has been little rain, which means the water salt level is higher. This could have impacted their health. Fish that feel hot in Japan will move north, to somewhere the water temperature feels appropriate. But oysters are fixed in one place. The situation with the scallops has continued for several years, and for oysters too. Before, I heard about damage in certain areas, but this time it's broader, covering the three prefectures of Hyogo, Hiroshima, and Okayama. It really is unprecedented." He also says there won't be an easy fix, and shellfish-hungry consumers may have to fork out much more than they're used to. Well, how come they didn't say it's due to climate change?

2:29:32 They did at the beginning of the year. Ah, it was due to climate change. Well, they said it might be. They're not so, you know, they're not cock sure about it. I have some food related clips. Oh, okay. Which is, yes, it's from the BBC, so take it with your grain of salt. But, like surprise, surprise, they released a new peer-reviewed, what's the big... The big place we release all of your studies, your medical stuff. What kinds of places? Yeah, well one of the big ones.

2:30:12 Processed food is not good for you. What? What? I know! A giant conspiracy to promote addiction, spread chronic disease and cause us to lead shorter, sicker lives. That's what ultra-processed foods are essentially, according to a global study published in the Lancet Medical Journal, which argues that so-called UPSs are linked to illnesses such as cancer and diabetes. What? Chris Van Tulleken is Professor of Infection and Global Health at University College London. He's one of the authors of the study and he's also the author of the influential book Ultra-Processed People. Ultra-processed food is a formal scientific definition. It's also known as Nova Group 4. And it broadly describes the category of packaged goods made by transnational food corporations. And to understand

2:31:02 And And we can also engineer our food so that it's very hard to stop eating and people buy lots and lots of it. We can dominate food environments, we can suppress real and whole food and so that's the project of transnational food companies and I say that without agenda, that's sort of what we pay them to do in a way. Well now, this is riveting and it's amazing how

2:31:41 Yeah, people riveting. Would you rather do your TikTok clips? I'm fine. No, I want to hear the rest of this. And you're of course we're both in total agreement with what he's saying. Well, of course, like him. Well, what I what I like is that he's saying it's part of the whole system. It's like We process the food, you get sick, you stay sick, we keep you going with some pharmaceuticals. That's what you want. Yes, you want ultra-processed people. And you're a co-author of this paper in The Lancet. Just tell us what its findings are. So this is a series of three papers published in The Lancet today being launched at the Royal College of Physicians in London. I'm sorry, it's not The Lancet, it's The Lancet. It's The Lancet. Get it straight, The Lancet.

2:32:19 The authorship is primarily from the global south, from Latin America and Brazil and from sub-Saharan Africa. There are authors also from all around the world, there are 43 of us. The paper is broken up into three sections. First of all, we look at the scientific evidence linking ultra-processed food to health harms. And we've done a formal meta-analysis of more than a hundred of the kind of studies that links tobacco to lung cancer. And we've looked at lots of experimental evidence, both animal evidence, human evidence, laboratory evidence, alongside this population data. So we're very clear now that we have reached the threshold where we can say a dietary pattern high in ultra-processed food causes negative health outcomes. And there's a wide range of these. Obesity, weight gain, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, stroke.

2:33:09 gastrointestinal disease, depression and early death from all causes. And we know from other published work that poor diet has overtaken or is at least on parity with tobacco now as the leading cause of early death on planet Earth. So it's as bad as smoking. I wonder, you know, when I hear these stories I always wonder if they include mortadella? Mortadella? As ultra processed? What is a mortadella? Mortadella is what bologna should be. Oh. It's Italian. It is the, they're big slices of, it's a lunch meat that the Italians sell. It's absolutely delicious. Mortadella is what you get instead of bologna. And is it processed?

2:33:55 Well, yeah, I mean, it's just a smooth, yeah, it's the process, it's similar grind and processing that you might get from a hot dog, which is another thing I wonder about, is a hot dog which contains a lot of offal, O-F-F-A-L, which is the various pieces of gut and cartilage and who knows what, ground into a fine paste and then turned into a sausage. Is that, it seems to me a hot dog should be healthy because it contains all kinds of things you wouldn't normally eat. You know the ones at Costco, those are the most healthy.

CHAPTER 28 / 33 Discussion

Fast Food Economics, Ground Beef Benefits, Taco Bell Tostada

The discussion on ultra-processed foods shifted to the economics of healthy eating, with the hosts arguing that home-cooked meals are often cheaper than fast food. They cited the example of a Taco Bell tostada, which can be replicated at home for a fraction of the price using higher-quality ingredients. Listeners were encouraged to buy beef directly from ranchers to save money and improve their metabolic health, particularly in low-income settings.

taco bell· ground beef· k&c cattle· nutrition· budget cooking· africa

2:34:31 And you get a drink and a hot dog for a buck 25. Buck 50. Did they raise the price? No, it's always been a buck 50. Your price is wrong. Well, maybe it's cheaper in Texas. Next time you go check. I will. So surprisingly, this is really going to talk about the poor people in the southern hemisphere. And this has long been a problem in the West, but it's a growing problem in places like Africa and Latin America. And there's no benefit for people there because these are big multinational companies that are making the profits, whereas people in places like Africa and Latin America are suffering all these health consequences you talk about. The companies that do this sort of processing, there aren't a long list of them. They're the brands you know, they make your breakfast cereals, your favorite cola drink, your ready meals, your canned in chocolate. Ready meals.

2:35:25 primarily most of the shareholders of those companies are institutional investors based in the global north. So that's broadly true. And so any benefit accrues into high-income settings that already have high-income settings. And we also have healthcare infrastructure to deal with the appalling externalized cost of the diet that the food industry essentially forces people with low incomes to eat. And so when we look at that in a low or middle income context is he's completely unaffordable and I think that's why such strong advocacy has come from particularly South and Central America where in a single generation obesity went from being essentially unheard of to being the dominant public health problem. We should give them some Ozempic, send some Ozempic to Africa. That'll fix it. You know this is annoying in the regards that they say just because something's fast food and it looks like it sells

2:36:19 relatively cheap. It's not cheaper than you making the same product yourself. Thank you. Or buying hamburger meat. For example, one of my favorite treats from Taco Bell, which comes and goes, they used to be on the menu permanently but now it's not anymore, is the tostada, the bean tostada. That is a flat piece of hard corn meal, tortilla, hard cooked, and then spread with a layer of refried beans, some shredded cheese, very little shredded cheese, and some lettuce, maybe some tomatoes, little pieces which are inconsequential. And that's, and with a sauce, there's a sauce involved. You can make, you can copy that and I've done it. The exact same thing, now those things cost, used to cost

2:37:07 minimum at 99 cents, but then they went up to a buck 50 and I don't know what they didn't have them half the time anymore. You can make the same exact thing for about 25 to 30 cents using the same exact ingredients only better. I would say, because we have a lot of people who are struggling who listen to the show, seriously, go to beefmaps.com You can find these ranches all across America, but of course you can find them everywhere in the world. And get ground beef from them. Get as much as you can afford. You will be surprised what wonderful meals you can make with ground beef. I mean, you get some cheap spaghetti sauce, you can make it yourself, you can make meatloaf, you can make hamburgers. Use your imagination. Use the internet. Use AI.

2:37:57 And you will, I mean, we literally buy all of our beef in one go from K&C Cattle. The two of us, it takes us like three months. And the amount of money that we spend in three months for the two of us would be going out to dinner in Fredericksburg three times. That's how long you can stretch buying beef directly from a rancher. And it's much healthier. Man, it's really raining here. It's like storming. Yes, it's a healthier, even if it's not like the copy of a tostada, which, you know, I don't know how healthy are refried beans, I'm not sure, but whatever the case is, it's this idea that poor people have to eat

2:38:43 From these fast-food operations. I mean we doing what a Big Mac cost a fortune Yeah, you don't have to by the way you and you don't have to you have me you can do if you have the wherewithal You need a frying pan and maybe a stove. Yeah, but okay Digital ID Closer and closer every day we're moving in, we're getting, we're teeing things up and here's the latest. The massive online gaming platform Roblox, which is used by millions of children under the age of 13, announced today it'll soon require every player to scan their face and use AI-powered facial technology to estimate their age. We tested it out at Roblox headquarters earlier this year.

CHAPTER 29 / 33 Discussion

Roblox Age Verification, Digital ID, TSA Real ID Fees

Roblox announced it will require players to undergo AI-powered facial scans for age estimation to protect children from online predators, a move that has sparked privacy concerns among parents. Meanwhile, the TSA is proposing a new $18 fee for passengers who do not have a Real ID or passport, requiring them to verify their identity at special kiosks. These developments are seen as part of a broader push toward mandatory digital identification systems.

2:38:43 From these fast-food operations. I mean we doing what a Big Mac cost a fortune Yeah, you don't have to by the way you and you don't have to you have me you can do if you have the wherewithal You need a frying pan and maybe a stove. Yeah, but okay Digital ID Closer and closer every day we're moving in, we're getting, we're teeing things up and here's the latest. The massive online gaming platform Roblox, which is used by millions of children under the age of 13, announced today it'll soon require every player to scan their face and use AI-powered facial technology to estimate their age. We tested it out at Roblox headquarters earlier this year.

2:39:29 Dozens of families along with the Kentucky and Louisiana Attorneys General have sued Roblox and chat platform Discord for allegedly failing to protect children from sexual predators on their platforms. Roblox CEO David Buzuki spoke today with Tony DeCoppo on CBS mornings. Her parents were like, geez, now I'm supposed to send a picture of my kid in? That sounds crazy to me. What do you say? I want to highlight this isn't a selfie or this isn't capturing a picture that could ever be shared or exposed but we're really not storing these images they're deleted soon after we process them. Roblox says it has revamped its online safety center as well and says the new age check requirement will roll out first in Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands then expand

2:40:16 expanding to more countries in early January. Meanwhile, Discord says it does not comment on pending litigation and says it's deeply committed to safety. Yeah, Discord is not going to do any of that. We can't let the spooks in that way. Discord's not going to be a part of that. That's no good. And of course we have the real ID here in the United States, which is nothing more than your driver's license with a little star stamp on it. But you know, that'll be digital soon enough. And we're just amping it up to make sure everybody gets one. The TSA is now proposing a new rule to charge passengers who don't have a real ID or a passport. Those passengers would pay $18 and have their identity verified at special kiosks. The verification would be good for 10 days. It's not clear when the new rule would go into effect. Man, none of this is good. None of this is good.

CHAPTER 30 / 33 Discussion

Podcast Terminology, Bill Simmons, Netcast vs. Padcast

Media mogul Bill Simmons recently questioned whether the term "podcast" should be retired in favor of "show" or "video podcast" given the shift away from iPods. The hosts debated this, noting that the technical definition of a podcast relies on an RSS feed for distribution. They jokingly suggested "padcast" as an alternative, while acknowledging that the term has become a generic label for digital talk shows.

bill simmons· espn· spotify· rss· netcast· padcast

2:41:08 It's heading it's heading that way well, let's don't let it Okay Complaining on a podcast usually helps. That's that's the way to go stops people complain tracks It stops legislation and it's tracks the question these days though should we even call it a podcast anymore? This is okay here. We go. This is the question yes, you are familiar with Bill Simmons and No, Bill Simmons used to be on ESPN. He was a big guy. Oh the big Oh built that bill's bill Simmons Yeah, the big ESPN Bill Simmons guy. So he started the ringer very very well-known podcast network, which he sold to Spotify Did quite well for himself

2:41:51 And now it's up in the air now. Should we call this a podcast? Brian asks, at what point do we retire the term podcast? Nobody uses an iPad and with the pivot to video and streaming, these are very clearly talk shows. I love how he doesn't correct. Stop, stop, stop. Yeah, no, he doesn't love how he doesn't correct iPad to iPod. Yeah, he said iPad. Yeah. So it's a pad cast. Yeah, not necessarily. I think we're stuck with the term. I just think we're gonna morph into saying video podcasts or podcasts depending on if it's a video show or not. But if you look at the definition of podcast, which I looked up, a podcast is a program made available in digital format for download over the internet. Uh, no.

2:42:42 It is in an RSS feed. Not just for download over the internet, you dope. Yeah, we used to have download over the internet back in the early 90s, all throughout the 90s, and the podcast technically was invented in around 2005. Four. So you. Well, technically, the technical aspect 2000. But the... Throughout the 90s you could download audio. Yeah, so this is not true, Bill Simmons. Over the internet. So why would we change that? Maybe it'll change and just become shows. Shows. Maybe because as we stop making TV shows, maybe...

2:43:23 Podcasts become shows and we just call everything show. That's the only thing I can see it. Now, how about we call it? You mean like the no agenda show? I think we should call it a netcast. Netcast. Netcast. I like padcast though. I'm down for... Padcast I'm going for. I'm down for padcast. We'll put that as the show title. People will think we had a typo. Oh man, you typo'd podcasts. You put podcasts. That's exactly what they say. In that voice. Alright. Hey, I'll let you have the last clip here. You've got one of your many TikToks to choose from. Yeah, and these aren't going away by the way. No, I'm sure they're not. I'm going to have to live with these one of these days. Now I got the, I got, I can have the stupid Apple Pay girl. Oh, I'm interested in her. Is she really stupid? I think this is, you know, I'd like the Trump resigning one because this is going around too. Well, let's see both. But I'm going to go with the...

2:44:13 The TikTok Apple Pay girl and now I had even sent a note to Brunetti never got an answer back horse is this girl acting I don't think so I think she's dead sincere because she's just her tears are real. She's like a nose is red and she's in she's miserable. And this is why. That's real money. That's true American dollars from your credit card. If you have your credit card connected, that's where the money is being sourced from. It's not like a special form of Apple Pay, Apple dollars.

CHAPTER 31 / 33 Discussion

TikTok Apple Pay Misconception, Trump Resignation Rumors

A viral TikTok video featured a user who mistakenly believed that "Apple Pay" was a reward system earned by using her phone, rather than a method of spending real money. Another trending clip falsely claimed that President Trump was planning to resign and receive a pardon from JD Vance due to the Epstein files. These clips were used to illustrate a study from Griffith University suggesting that short-form videos are negatively impacting cognitive endurance and attention spans.

2:43:23 Podcasts become shows and we just call everything show. That's the only thing I can see it. Now, how about we call it? You mean like the no agenda show? I think we should call it a netcast. Netcast. Netcast. I like padcast though. I'm down for... Padcast I'm going for. I'm down for padcast. We'll put that as the show title. People will think we had a typo. Oh man, you typo'd podcasts. You put podcasts. That's exactly what they say. In that voice. Alright. Hey, I'll let you have the last clip here. You've got one of your many TikToks to choose from. Yeah, and these aren't going away by the way. No, I'm sure they're not. I'm going to have to live with these one of these days. Now I got the, I got, I can have the stupid Apple Pay girl. Oh, I'm interested in her. Is she really stupid? I think this is, you know, I'd like the Trump resigning one because this is going around too. Well, let's see both. But I'm going to go with the...

2:44:13 The TikTok Apple Pay girl and now I had even sent a note to Brunetti never got an answer back horse is this girl acting I don't think so I think she's dead sincere because she's just her tears are real. She's like a nose is red and she's in she's miserable. And this is why. That's real money. That's true American dollars from your credit card. If you have your credit card connected, that's where the money is being sourced from. It's not like a special form of Apple Pay, Apple dollars.

2:45:02 Why they don't just say this is real money while you're paying, I don't know. Because I thought that I had accumulated a bunch of Apple dollars to use for Apple Pay by spending so much time on my phone, giving my data very freely and willingly to any place that asks. Like whenever they say, are cookies okay? I say yes, yes, yes, because I thought that's how I was getting prizes, getting awards, getting Apple dollars. So I didn't think that was real. money till I check my credit card bill. I've been spending money like I'm a freaking millionaire. I got hair moves. I have straight hair. My hair doesn't even hold moves. I call Apple to straighten things out. I look at it. I please speak with Mr. Steve Jobs. They go, he's no longer with us.

2:45:47 That is really possible. I can totally see where someone thought that by giving you their information and all your passwords that you're getting Apple rewards, Apple pay. Congratulations. I'm in total agreement with you. I think people could that because there's a lot because of all the freebies you get from playing the games or we'll go here and read this ad and you'll get some credits. Yeah, all these, you know bogus credits for this that and the other thing and Apple Pay. Yeah, is that part of it? Maybe they have a nose ring. No hair. No, this is a palestine Palestine flag. Nope, none of the above, huh?

2:46:28 You seem like a normal like 17 year old or 18 year old. Let's do Trump resigning because it's just now you mentioned it I just I really have to hear it. Okay here we go. So Donald Trump is going on national television tonight at 9.45pm. He's either going to completely deny and try to distract the American people from the clear emails and damage of the Epstein files that are going to come down on his head, or he's going to take a play out of Nixon's handbook and he's going to resign and he's going to have JD Vance issue him a pardon to protect him from any wrongdoings or criminal actions. One way or the other, his time as president is near. He might even try to use an excuse of his health. I need to step down because my health is failing and I'm not able to really continue on as president. One way or the other, the idea of him resigning

2:47:24 the presidency at 9 45 p.m. tonight seems real be considering if you look at all of the damage and things that are going on around him the allegations the fact that we don't even have all of the files out yet and the petition is making its way through the house and the Senate what do you guys think leave a comment well I think you're an idiot can I leave that comment yeah you I'm sure he got plenty of that comment you don't have to leave that comment And this was from yesterday or was not a couple of days ago. Oh, you should get back on that guy's channel You know it's a tick tock channel

2:48:00 I collect these clips for the show for the amusement. This is my man on the street kind of concept. Oh, is that what it is? And that's what it is. So I don't want to interact any further than just playing the clip and mocking it on the show. Yes. Which, you know, I think somebody out there appreciates, not everybody. Well, a Griffin University study has validated a long suspected reality, SFVs, which is what you're looking at, short form videos and Instagram reels are frying brains, slashing attention spans and crippling cognitive endurance.

CHAPTER 32 / 33 Discussion

Producer Credits, Knighting Ceremony, Global Meetups

The podcast concluded with a lengthy segment dedicated to thanking producers and conducting a knighting ceremony for "Sir Blue Acorn of Folsom." The hosts acknowledged various donations from across the U.S. and Norway, including a contribution from Nathan Cochran of the band Mercy Me. Upcoming listener meetups were announced for Charlotte, North Carolina; Burlington, Kentucky; and Longview, Texas, emphasizing the community's "value-for-value" model.

Oh, I want to call him out as a douchebag. And he is on the list. Brian P. Bellin, Asbury, New Jersey. Asbury.

2:52:04 Sad puppy donation, thank you. Then we have a long note here from Chad Hewitt, but Chad does become a knight today. So let's see what he says. Before the plandemic, I don't think I ever listened to a podcast. When the world was locking down around us, my employer was threatening to fire me and the government seemed ready to force vaccination. We searched desperately for everywhere we could to find the truth. I thank God that there were still independent voices out on the internet. And even though many seem to be getting censored hard, this is when we found the life-saving communication from The High Wire with Del Bigtree, Children's Health Defense with RFK Jr., the FLCC, now the Independent Medical Alliance, and the NOAH Gender Show. And I have not missed a show since. Heard about the show when Adam was on the Glenn Beck podcast on show 17. Ooh. Yeah, Glenn Beck donation.

2:52:53 And this is $66.40 by the way. On the show 1734 there was a discussion about how AI was saying cows lay eggs. So I thought that's funny. Maybe I should try to have AI create that picture. It actually turned out pretty good. So after some clumsy photo editing, I decided to try to post it before the end of the show. I was frantically trying to create an account attempting multiple times to get the right size and upload it with my daughter's help. It worked as the closing songs were playing. To my surprise a few minutes later, it was picked as the show's cover! That was a blast. It happens. After a few more times of entering show art, I got picked again for show 1739 with boxing soccer. The following show, though, a real artist wrote to Adam and exposed the truth that it was just AI crap, slop, lame, infantile, and he just types things into a prompt and there it is. It's true. As an artist, I'm a no-talent ass clown. My daughter, who is an actual graphics designer, also disapproves of my use of AI. This note is all over the place.

2:53:51 Overall, I'm kidding. I'm a drunk driver. It is still three It is the whole on a second I got doing three things at the same time It is still thrilling to try and come up with slop art in the short amount of time between topics to get a laugh during the next Show thanks for the fun. Thank you both and god bless. I would like to be noted knighted sir blue a corner false. This is blue acorn And he wants... Yeah, this is blue acorn. Oh, good old blue acorn. That's interesting. Yes, he wants dos coyote fajitas and red trolley ale at the round table, which I believe we have... Man, that's like...

CHAPTER 33 / 33 Discussion

Eleven Labs Voice Licensing, LG TV Settings, Show Outro

The final segment covered Eleven Labs' new licensing deals with actors Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey for AI voice replication. The hosts shared their "tip of the day" regarding LG TV settings, specifically recommending the "creator mode" for optimal viewing. The episode closed with a series of AI-generated and listener-submitted musical mixes, including a biographical song about host John C. Dvorak.

3:01:28 You wanna be where you won't be Triggered or held to blame You wanna be where everybody feels the same It's like a party Well, I have a feeling I'm gonna miss the, uh... I'm not gonna make the ISO. You've got three of them and... Did you hear, by the way, that Eleven Labs is now licensing actors' voices? Nobody makes sense. Yeah, I think I had a clip. I can't seem to get it. I mean of course I'm Trying to hang in there with a free account. Well, listen to this. Legendary actor Michael Caine has licensed his unmistakable voice to New York-based AI company 11 Labs. All right, all right, all right. Another Hollywood star has also signed a deal with them. A good man stands for certain ideals. Matthew McConaughey is allowing the company to translate his newsletter in Spanish using his voice.

3:02:29 Hola, feliz viernes a todos. Tengo un anuncio a los... Doesn't sound like him at all. Doesn't sound like him at all. ...Evan Labs, which is valued at $6.6 billion. $6.6 billion? They should give you a free account. You think? You know, in the olden days when I was famous... Oh yeah, yeah, back in those days. I would have gotten free accounts, no problem, and, you know, and a blowjob. All combined. But that doesn't happen anymore. I used to get free entrance with a gold card to the Hard Rock Cafe, but no blowjobs.

3:03:16 are lying on the table. The licensing deals are stirring up debate about the role of AI in entertainment. Yeah, blah, blah, blah. So I go to 11 Labs. Unlike you, I have a paid account. Must give me the password. No way. Oh, you cheap bastard. You're just a gem today. And so I'm mean to you, but you can call me a cheap bastard when you know that nothing is further from the truth? In fact, I am the epitome of kindness and... Well then, what's the deal?

3:03:56 Well, the problem is, I wanted to get Michael Caine doing a no agenda end of show ISO. Right, because then you could kick my ass in this deal because I'm going for the free voices. Easily. You're just trying to beat me. And so you click on the voice, like you gotta give them your name, send them a message, you know, what do you want to use it for, and then they're gonna tell you how much. Oh, that stinks. It's total stinkville. It's no good. It's gonna be really expensive. I'm not interested in that. Oh, that's just a bait and switch. I felt that way. Yes. Anyway, here are my... By the way, we have John's tip of the day coming in some dynamite AI slop, not all slop. And by the way, if you remember, this will be a joint tip of the day. This cracks me up. You always forget these things.

3:04:45 I can't wait. I can't don't don't don't don't blow it. No, I When I tip you off about you will always oh geez I forgot about this. Okay, here we go Here are my end of show ISOs. I don't know what they're talking about It's not bad, right? No, that's good. Got another one. Whoa, that's happening Yeah, and then I went to the well. Well, you don't see that every day You don't see this that we're podcast we don't do you don't see oh, please. Okay. What do you have from the slop machine? Okay. Well, I have a real one by by by Always a winner. Yeah. Yeah, you've used that we have let's go with nuts if you did not like this Then you are nuts

3:05:31 That's pretty good. Yeah. Well then go with awards. This podcast should be winning all the awards. Well it's obvious that's the one we're gonna use because it's true we should be winning the awards! Well I cannot wait it's a joint tip of the day. Yeah, I'll trigger the joint tip by just saying to you, hey, you bought a new TV, didn't you? Yeah, I bought a new TV. There's nothing on. Yes, this was a Costco. We were at Costco. Our TV is 12 years old. It came with the house. And we've been saying to each other for weeks now, like, you know, we should really get a new TV because we can get a we had a 56 inch

3:06:22 We could go up a size 65 and it's uncanny because once I hung that sucker up for like a week there was nothing worth watching at all. At all. We're talking about TV here not content. Yeah well exactly so the tip is If you go to Costco, and we went to the Costco in San Antonio, where I'm sure, I'm so sure that I paid... You don't need to just get this brand at Costco, but okay. Well, I'm sure that I paid $125 for my hot dog and drink, but I guess it was $150. And this is an OLED, O-L-E-D from LG.

3:07:05 Now they have two, they have one with the A9i processor which is some AI nonsense. You want the 8, and you just look at all the TVs there. And this thing just blows, I mean blows them all away. The viewing angle, there's no, as you said, there's no viewing angle. There's no viewing angle. You can watch it from anywhere. Now it's not cheap because, you know, most of those TVs are around 500 bucks and this was not. I've seen them for like some of these off brands for like $349 for 50 inches. And that's what I was going for.

3:07:42 Yeah, that was yeah, but this you made the right decision when you see this TV I'll just call it a screen. You shouldn't even call it a TV. Just call it a screen 999 man, which was a steal in my opinion. They're normally about 1400 bucks, but this we're talking about the LG By the way, do you know what LG stands for this why they never use the real name? It's the most Asian name of any company that sells anything best price. I Lucky Gold Star. No. Yeah, yeah. Lucky Gold Star? Yeah, that's the name of LG, that's what LG means. Oh, I didn't know that. The more you know. The more you know. So I have been an advocate of these OLEDs from LG specifically, because they're the ones who specialize in them. Everybody else, you know, people make them and there's a thing called a QLED, which is just trying to get off the name.

3:08:37 Oled at all. It's just a phony. It's really nice set. Those are from Samsung, but I would say if you're gonna buy a new television It's more expensive by a factor of at least two But the quality of an OLED and the lightness the thing doesn't weigh anything No, I mean I took that old Sony off the wall almost broke my back that thing was so heavy and this you can lift it up with one hand and Yep, you can lift it with one hand. It's super thin and the luminance that comes off of it, I mean, and you have all these, Brunetti will like this, you have a creator mode. So it can automatically start up with all the settings that the filmmaker intended it to be.

3:09:27 Which I immediately shut off shut it off like now I want it and then you sit in there like your eyes are burning from this OLEDs and then you have a reduced blue light. Okay, I'll reduce that. Oh, you can definitely do that. Yeah, but there's a lot of settings you can get it so you're comfortable with what it looks like because it has a huge it has a bigger color gamut and It has HDR that is dynamite, which is a high dynamic range. So it's the blacks are black and the whites are white. Yeah, it is the OLED from LG. If you're going to buy a new TV, just bite the bullet and get one of these. These things are fan fantastic. Now, the only thing I'll say is

3:10:14 I guess we've never really had HDR and 4K because I never really cared about it. Now I watch movies, it's like Tina keeps saying it's like it's live, you know, because it's so I mean, you really see things that you never saw before. I know I'm late to this party like duh, okay boomer where you been? I get it. You get finally get sell your tube TV. I warm that thing up for 15 minutes before I hit the other button. Remember we had that when back in the day you had color TVs and he had to hit the buttons. You had to warm it up.

3:10:55 I never had two buttons on the ones we had. Oh, I remember and if you hit the wrong button then it would go on right away and my dad would be like, YOU DIDN'T WARM IT UP IT'S GONNA REDUCE THE LIFE OF THIS THING! Yeah, that's good. It's funny. The only other thing I really dislike about it is when you grab the remote control like a mouse pointer shows up on the TV. Yeah, I actually like that. I hate that thing. I just want to use my rocker, you know, the little rocker. And by the way, if you didn't jerk it so hard, it's got to grab one of these, one of these, uh,

3:11:30 but they're called gyroscope chips. So if you grab it gently and hold it, it doesn't bring the cursor up. If you shake it, the cursor shows up. What you're doing is grabbing it like a madman. Grab it gently and just move it around gently. And there it is, a double tip of the day. Get them all at tipoftheday.net. Created by Dana Brunetti.
