About this episode

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from the House of Representatives effective January 5, 2025, following a public feud with President Trump over the Jeffrey Epstein files. The departure narrows Speaker Mike Johnson's Republican majority and follows a primary challenge from Intelligence Marine Christian Hurd. Trump suggested that Greene and other dissenting Republicans should consider becoming independents while speculating on her potential future as a television commentator for CNN or MSNOW.

New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani visited the White House for a productive meeting with President Trump focused on urban affordability and housing construction in Queens and Brooklyn. The House of Representatives responded by passing a resolution from Maria Salazar denouncing the horrors of socialism. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council approved a 20-point Gaza ceasefire plan overseen by a board led by Trump, though Hamas remains opposed. In the UK, Defence Secretary John Healey reported that the Russian spy ship Yantar directed lasers at British pilots near Scottish waters, while Dutch military personnel engaged unidentified drones over the Eindhoven airbase.

Journalists Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn analyzed the launch of JMail.world, a sophisticated searchable archive of 20,000 Jeffrey Epstein emails. Paul McCartney joined over 1,000 musicians in a silent protest album against AI copyright legislation in the UK. The show also explores Meshtastic networking as an off-grid communication alternative and investigates claims that Minnesota taxpayer funds were diverted to Al-Shabaab via informal cash networks.

Ukrainian Sumo Champion, Japanese Gambling Allegations

A Ukrainian wrestler won the Japanese sumo championship, a victory noted for the athlete's technical skill despite his pale appearance. Allegations of rigging and gambling surfaced regarding specific matches, including one involving Anasato, where officials were accused of making inconsistent calls. The Japanese public's affinity for gambling is cited as a potential factor in these controversial match outcomes.

00:00 What? Meshtastic. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, November 23rd, 2025. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1819. This is no agenda. Things to Dish in 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 Northern Silicon Valley, where we don't believe a word of it, I'm John C. Dvorak. We don't believe a word of what? Anything. It's all... breaking news! Nobody knows anything! It's a scam. Although, breaking, breaking, breaking news! A Ukrainian won the sumo championship?

00:47 Elenishki. Yeah. Yeah, he is. That's that's that's wrong somehow. Feels wrong. Well, it's actually two Ukrainians that are in the matches. There's a lot of Manchurians, but there's these two Ukrainians. Sisi is the other one. Shishi Shishi is the other one. He's not quite as this guy is a real technician. Oh. It's interesting to watch him because he is, I knew he was going to win. I mean, when I first time I saw him a few tournaments ago, I said, this guy's going to win something. Why didn't you call it on the show? We talk about it all the time. We don't talk about it all the time, but I could have, but he is definitely worth watching. He's a pale, he's a big fat pale guy. He's very pale. He's pale, but he's still big. And, but he has a,

01:40 He uses, he's really a technique, he can do stuff that is pretty phenomenal. He beats guys that shouldn't be beaten by him. He can do stuff, man. He can do stuff. He can do stuff. Yeah, I expected him to win it eventually. Yeah. Oh. But also, you know, they gotta get the, you know what I'm thinking. What? There's an element of political stuff in there? There was a couple of matches. There was a match with Anasato earlier in the week where he clearly lost and they could have even called it a tie but he

02:17 Because there was a two days later exact same situation happened where the two of them went out at the same time and the other guy did win. The right guy won. It was rigged. It's rigged! It's fake! I'm not gonna say it's that but there's a lot of gambling there. The Japanese love gambling. I was gonna say can we do prop bets on the sumo wrestling? I guess so. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's just stick in Japan because we are, of course, the best podcast in the universe because we have the best producers in the universe. I got a note from Dame Astrid. She is the Grand Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands of the Japan Sea. And she said a little information on the bad oyster and clam harvest, which you highlighted on the previous episode. Indeed. Due to climate change.

CHAPTER 02 / 39 Discussion

Japan Seafood Industry, China Trade Dispute

China has ceased purchasing seafood from Japan, escalating a diplomatic spat and causing a crisis in the Japanese clam and oyster industries. While official reports cite radiation concerns from the Fukushima region following recent rains, local reports suggest the industry may be feigning a bad harvest to avoid selling surplus stock at low prices domestically.

japan· china· seafood· oysters· radiation

03:14 Here's what's really going on. China and Japan are in yet another escalating spat, and China decided once again they would not buy any more seafood from Japan. So the… That's because… Did she say why? No, but I'll finish reading. She is kind of more boots on the ground than we are. Yeah, I know, but this reporting is going on if you listen to NHK. The clam industry is in a tizzy about what to do with all the clams and rather than selling them cheap to the Japanese, it was better to pretend a bad harvest. This is from Astrid, so, you know, she's designed nicer buildings than you have.

03:58 Yeah, but it's the oyster kill off that is an issue. And she didn't address that. And it's scallops, which I guess come from a clam. But the Chinese claim that because of a recent rain or some other bull crap that the radiation from the old food, you know, whatever that area was where they had the earthquake hit it, is contaminating the fish and the Chinese aren't buying it for that reason. American Yankee, you dispute Dame Astrid? No, I'm not disputing her, but she did not address the oyster issue. Well, she will now because she's a fervent listener. Yes, she is, which is good. This is very good. But this doesn't mean we can't get into an argument. Well, do that in your own time. Get a room.

CHAPTER 03 / 39 Discussion

Marjorie Taylor Greene Resignation, Christian Hurd Primary Challenge

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announced her resignation from the House of Representatives effective January 5th, 2025, following a public feud with President Trump over the Epstein files. Her departure further slims Speaker Mike Johnson's Republican majority. Intelligence Marine Christian Hurd had launched a primary challenge against her, criticizing her "isolationism" and framing his platform as "America First" rather than "America Only."

marjorie taylor greene· mike johnson· christian hurd· georgia· trump

04:47 I got the note. Oh you did? I didn't know she copied you on it. Well maybe, I got a note from her. No that was just a note of gratitude. Oh a thank you note. She knows better than to send you any information. If she wants it on the show she'll send it to me like everybody does. So I got a note from our anonymous lobbyist in Austin. You remember the anonymous lobbyist? Oh yeah. The official lobbyist of the No Agenda Show who told us about how the, why the Texas is still a two license plate state because of 3M and their lobbyists wanting to not lose out on 50% of the paint. Yeah, I don't blame them. So the lobbyists sent me two, I think very valuable pieces of information. And the first is about Marjorie Taylor Greene.

05:41 And her lobbyist says, I have a unique inside connection about MTG and what's going on with her. Before you breed this, can you give us a little background on what happened? Like nobody knows? Okay. You know, you're always making these assumptions that I don't make. Now to the news that has rattled Washington over the last couple of days. Firebrand Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing she will resign from her seat in January. The Georgia representative and longtime loyalist of President Trump has spent the last several weeks in a public feud with the president over the Epstein files, health care and more. NBC's Julie Cirkin is at the White House with new details. Julie, good morning. fifth

06:41 MPG, as she's known, is meeting Congress on January 5th and that means House Speaker Mike Johnson will soon have an even slimmer majority and even fewer votes to enact the administration's priorities. So I'll continue with the note and then we can discuss. So a colleague of the no agenda lobbyist works with federal advocacy and is in the same district as Marjorie Taylor Greene, which is a big Trump district. The three main reasons given in no specific order. One, Trump giveth, Trump taketh. Big donors pulled out and the initial primary candidate announced an MTG would have lost the primary. And I have this primary candidates announcement. Fun fact, my colleague went to high school with MTG's would-be opponent. Opponent seems, shall I say, very DIA-ish.

07:35 And do you know about this guy? I have no clue about this guy that they're going to try to run. Christian Hurd. He has a whole blurb here, I'll read a little bit. I'm a husband, a father, a Marine, and 10th generation Georgian. Except for my time at the University of Georgia and serving in the United States Marine Corps, I've been proud to call Georgia's 14th District home for all of my life. So then he goes into, as an intelligence marine fluent in languages... Hello. Well it gets better. As an intelligence marine fluent in the languages of Iran and Afghanistan, okay, all right, you've been around, I've extensive training in Middle Eastern issues and operational experience in the Indo-Pacific region. Oh, this is so important to the locals in Georgia. Of course not! Except for the locals who work in the military industrial complex in Georgia.

08:26 I think there's some business there. There is everywhere. I have witnessed firsthand the slipping of our national power in the face of existential Chinese threat and the consequences of weak leadership. While I am committed to enabling the United States to do whatever is necessary to bury our enemies and win new Cold Wars, Marjorie Greene has consistently failed to understand America's critical role in this world and the dangers we face. I will ensure our military has what it needs to defeat evolving and advanced threats. Because America first means we must never allow our enemies to catch us unprepared or asleep. We can never allow a Chinese-dominated world

09:06 And if Marjorie Greene has her way with America only isolationism, we enable it. This is a professional written thing. He did not write this. No kidding. I mean, so turning her America first into America only? I think is an interesting, I think we'll be hearing that more. I think so too. That seems like a part of a... Prose at work. I didn't say it. An op? I didn't say it. Well, I have some thoughts about it, but first let's listen to, let me see, what do I have it here? I thought I had a thing from Trump on what he had to say about, well, okay, I think this comes as part of the Epstein op, which includes Massey, of course.

CHAPTER 04 / 39 Discussion

Donald Trump on MTG Resignation, Potential Media Career

President Trump addressed Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, suggesting that Republicans who do not vote with the party should consider becoming independents. Speculation regarding Greene's future includes a potential run for Governor of Georgia or a career as a television commentator on networks like CNN or MSNOW. Trump also criticized Representative Thomas Massie, labeling him "Rand Paul Jr." for his voting record.

donald trump· marjorie taylor greene· thomas massie· cnn· msnow

09:52 Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene credited with most of the news around and the actual actions of releasing the Epstein files. I had to run this through the AI so Trump sounds good but the reporter doesn't sound so good. To lock her leaf somewhere files. He's not the king well I don't want to talk about it because fake news like you you're a terrible reporter and fake news Just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration So a guy like Massey his poll numbers are showing is a 6% approval rating right now

10:35 And we call him Rand Paul Jr. because he never votes for the Republican Party. So they're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party. Now, so the way I read what's going on here, first of all, I was clearly wrong about, well, wrong about what well I really thought that MTG and Trump are playing a little game here I think you kind of at least somewhat agreed with that I I hit yes that was quickly that didn't last long well

11:14 Here's what I'm thinking. First of all, this is a major warning to the Republicans. And what he says there is part of it. It's like, hey, if you're not voting with the party, then maybe you shouldn't be a member of the party. You should be an independent. But otherwise, you got to be a part of the party. That's what I mean. The success, he even said the successes we've had as a party. And I think he really likes Marjorie Taylor Greene. And it's possible that she wanted an out anyway. This whole resigning halfway through, that's the part that makes no sense. It's like, why would you do that? And I saw her on CNN and MSNOW, they finally changed their name. MSNOW. Same people, new crappy name. Actually worse people. I have a feeling that she may pop up with her own TV show.

12:16 Well, that's a possibility. She could also run for governor. I don't think she's unpopular. No, I don't think she's unpopular at all. But her long announcement, she really is kind of irked by the fact that everyone hates her and they mock her and ridicule her and they threaten her and their family. You know, it's a miserable life if you're going to go the way she did. She's a QAnon nut. She was, you know, she supported Trump in his 2020 election was rigged gut thesis, which was popularized with Trump. She was a troublemaker during the Biden administration. She kept yelling at Biden during the State of the Union Address. We all thought that was funny. It was great. I thought it was fact. In fact, that's what I said in the newsletter. That was good. We're going to miss her. We're going to miss her very much. Yeah. But, uh,

13:06 I think this quiddi—I feel the same way. She quits out of the blue in January. She doesn't have to do that. She can let her term run out and maintain the voting majority. But I think she was—either somebody put a gun to her head or she's sick of it, can't take it anymore. I don't know. That doesn't seem like her. That's what I'm saying. Something is up. I was wrong about the game that they were playing, but something seems up with this. To say, okay, I'm not going to run anymore, that's one thing, but to quit, she doesn't seem like a quitter. She doesn't have the skill set to be a TV person.

13:52 That's not a prerequisite to be on these stupid cable news channels. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying she doesn't have the skill set. I mean, Laura Trump barely makes it on Fox. I mean, I think she's got a good show because she brings the top-notch people on as guests, but she doesn't... She has, it's annoying to watch. You know, the problem with television is that you, it's over, if you're doing a half hour show, you get, you can annoy the viewers really fast. I mean, I get annoyed, I don't like to, there's a number of people that,

14:29 that just aren't pleasant to look at. Most of them. Most of them, but a lot of them are so unpleasant. It's not like, oh, you know, this is, again, I don't want to get into this executive mode. But she's not unpleasant to look at. No, but she's not, it's something about her, you can't put up with a lot of it. But listen, wouldn't it be... Small doses, she's great. Stay in executive mode for a second. So we're running CNN or running MSNOW, both of them have highlighted her nonstop since his resignation. She was on CNN, she was on MSNOW.

15:06 I mean, in executive mode, I'd be like, let's give her a contract at least to be a commentator on how much, how bad Trump is. If you can bring her on as a commentator, as a short term contract. Well, they have a term for that. I mean, I would be against it in general, but if you, if you made the argument to do it for, because you had a sense of it, I would say, well, I think we can give her a try out. She can be the special correspondent on all things Trump. Don't they have special correspondents, like senior analysts? Senior Trump analysts. It's funny how those same people become different things at different times. Yeah, but here's Marjorie Taylor Greenhardt, a senior Trump analyst.

15:50 I don't think she would do that for CNN or MSN. Okay, everything, you know, she had her 10-minute video, it plays into exactly the America First versus a MAGA, you know, fueling the Civil War. I doubt that she's been a Republican in disguise. Something is up with this. And I don't think she's running for president, which is... No, that's for sure. That seems to be like Tim Dillon on Joe Rogan. Oh yeah, no, I know it for sure. She's running for president. Like, okay. Is that right? That's what he said, yeah. And Joe's like, wow, hadn't thought about that. That would be great. That's totally possible. Oh, please.

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes Interview Controversy

President Trump defended Tucker Carlson's right to interview controversial figures like Nick Fuentes, stating that the public should be allowed to decide for themselves. Trump dismissed criticisms of the interview while also boasting about the high viewership numbers his own appearances with Carlson have generated. During the exchange, Trump criticized a Bloomberg reporter for her questioning style.

tucker carlson· nick fuentes· donald trump· bloomberg· media

16:34 Yeah, I don't see that happening. But, you know, we still have this op ongoing, which I still think is to root out the bad apples in the Republican Party. And we now know that Massey has a new nickname. I'm not saying he's a bad apple, but, you know, in Trump's mind. He is Rand Paul Jr. Yeah, I like that. That's a good one. Here was the question about Tucker. You know, Tucker, of course, interviewing Nick Fuentes. And again, this has run through the A.I. to make Trump sound a little bit legible in front of the airplane. Mr. President, Mr. Tucker Carlson recently had a front-link interview with anti-Semite Nick Fuentes.

17:12 What role do you think Tucker Carlson should play in the Republican Party? Well, I found him to be good. He said good things about me over the years. I think he's good. We've had some good interviews. I did an interview with him. We read 300 million hits. You know that. Hits? Hello, 1996, Mr. President. Wow. In 1996, we were selling hits. Hits. Look, I can't tell him. Wow, you know I hate to tell you this but that just getting there I didn't hear that but that's get that has to have borderline clip of the day The calendar I did an interview with him we read 300 million hits you know that Look I can't tell him

18:05 Will you let me finish my say? You are the worst. You're with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst. I don't know why they even have you. We've had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can't tell him who to interview. I mean, if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don't know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out. Let him, you know, people have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide. Get the word out. Ultimately, people have to decide. Get what word out? Why did he say that? Tucker Carlson has to get the word out? I have no idea that makes no sense. I mean, he's condemning that poor woman. That was either Catherine or Peggy. No, it's Catherine. It might have been Peggy. I don't know. Yeah, there's this Bloomberg girl. Why are they on the plane? This is like free world travel for these reporters. And they're getting these rides on the plane to go wherever. You know, there's got to be a great gig to be on the Air Force One flying around.

CHAPTER 06 / 39 Discussion

JMail Website, Jeffrey Epstein Email Archive

A new website called JMail.world has launched, presenting 20,000 of Jeffrey Epstein's emails in a functional Gmail-style interface. The project used Large Language Models to convert PDF documents from the House Oversight Committee into structured text. Analysts suggest the site's professional execution points toward a sophisticated operation intended to leak specific information under the guise of a prank.

jeffrey epstein· jmail· house oversight committee· wired· llm

19:08 Why are they allowed on the plane if they're so bad? This makes no sense to me. You get to pick and choose who gets to come on the plane. It's not like everyone... it's a free-for-all. Because he likes it. He loves this. But, but, beside that, he said... I think he's a sadist. Get the word out. If he hadn't said hits, you know, which kind of discredits everything coming out of his mouth. Hits, totally does. Hits. So this all kind of folds into Epstein. I don't want to stay on Epstein too long for obvious reasons because it's boring and we don't have anything really new other than... I have no clips, I don't think. I do actually, but other than the hilarious Gmail or J-mail, do you see that thing?

19:52 They created a... Tell me. Oh, it's a website and it functions just like Gmail except they've put all of Epstein's emails in there, the 20,000 emails. So there's boxes on the left like... I have not seen this. Oh, it's very good. So have you dug into it? Well, I mean, there's 20,000. Of course, I looked at it a little bit. So it's jmail.world, J-M-A-I-L. You should just pull it up because he's got, on the left, he's got Michael Wolff, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, Joey Ito, Ghislaine, Noam Chomsky, Tom Pritzker, Dershowitz. And it looks exactly like Gmail. You can read all the threads. It's very well done. Very well done.

20:40 Who did it? A couple of dudes. I don't think anyone actually... Did anyone claim this? Let me see. Are you sure it's not agency sourced? Well, that's a good question because according to Wired, let's see what Wired says. Wired's headline is, Pranksters recreated a working version of Jeffrey Epstein's Gmail box. I think this is a very good question you pose. It's got agency written all over it, doesn't it? Yeah. Let me see what... Does it have an abut? Is there an abut here? Anyway, let me see.

21:17 No, that doesn't... Oh. You're logged in as Jeffrey Epstein. We compiled these Epstein Estate emails from the House Oversight release, converting the PDFs to structured text with an LLM made by Luke Igle and Riley Waltz. Mm-hmm. Sure. Exactly. That's a very good point. Someone's trying to pass on a message in the form of a joke, which has, yeah, agency slash Trump written all over it. So regarding this, I'm going to deconstruct a podcast which usually gets people very, very mad. Whenever we do that, I will give you an example of the emails... Shooting inside the tent. Shooting inside the tent, man. Hey, when you're shooting at the enemy, don't shoot the guy sitting next to you. And this kind of came about firstly because there was JP Morgan's CEO Jamie Dimon

CHAPTER 07 / 39 Discussion

Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn, Epstein British Connection

Journalists Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn discussed the systemic corruption revealed by the Jeffrey Epstein case, specifically focusing on the "Anglo-Dutch" influence and the role of the British establishment. The analysis highlights Prince Andrew's involvement and suggests that the Epstein operation was a multi-state intelligence job linked to Russiagate. They argue that Epstein served as a bridge between American high society and British intelligence.

matt taibbi· walter kirn· jeffrey epstein· prince andrew· russiagate

22:15 Hosted a birthday bash this week for King Charles III at the bank's New York headquarters. Had the building completely lit up in a British flag. Invited Tony Blair and the British consulate, Brian Cox, I guess he's British. You know, and even though the King wasn't there, it's like, well, you know, I don't know. He wasn't there. I don't wait a minute. Let me get this straight. I don't know what that was about other than I'm on your side, guys, because, you know, JPMorgan Chase is implicated in In a lot of these like a billion dollars worth of right what you what you witnessed was a cry for help cry for help exactly So we've been talking about this North Sea Nexus the English Dutch of the Anglo Dutch system And I'm proud to say that America this week with Matt I be and Walter Kim No one can say Matt IEB is a bad journalist and

23:15 He's done some of the most amazing reporting, particularly I would say the 2008 Great Depression. I mean he was financial reporting is he did great financial. He's also a fun writer Yes, and his writing is a lot more fun than listening to him on the podcast particularly terrible I had I but he is a terrific writer knows how to put the little little sides in there. Yeah, so I had to cut out a lot of a Lot of that yeah Yeah, for sure. But these guys, they're finally on the no agenda train and I'm happy to report they're starting to figure it out. And I will stand on my contention that I think he was way more involved in the United States. Who is this? This is Walter Kim. Walter Kerr? Walter Kim. It's not Walter Kerr. No, it's Walter Kim. Walter Kim, let's see. I think it's Kim. Yeah, it's Kim.

24:19 I It's Kim. Oh, Kern. I'm sorry, Kern. Yes. Oh, Kern. Yeah. Okay. So we were both wrong. Walter Kern. You got it. You were right. I got closer. Much closer than I did. Walter Kern. And I will stand on my contention that I think he was way more involved in the United States

24:57 seen than was the Israel agent who had somehow managed to compromise the entire US establishment without the knowledge of our, or with, you know, somehow with the cooperation of our, you know, agencies. Doesn't stand to reason. I think this is gonna be an exposure of really vast proportions. We've just seen a touch of it, his influence in Congress. Right. And that's my guess is that what it will expose, what these documents will expose is systemic corruption on a scale previously not imaginable. Right. Because

25:40 With Epstein, just to take the example of the officials in both JPMorgan Chase and the U.S. Virgin Islands government, you're dealing with every single person has knowledge about who this person is and what he does. And, you know, it's one thing to look the other way when you're not sure if so-and-so might have a gambling conviction in their past or something like that. It's another thing entirely to talk about, like systematic sex trafficker. And money launder, right? And he's also in some way involved with the British.

26:23 Ah, see this is where I'm like, oh really now? What kind of involvement could that be? You don't go sit in the castles of the royal family with Ghislaine Maxwell and get photographed. You don't corrupt Prince Andrew. Listen, very quietly, Prince Andrew has been moved out of the royal family. They're stripping him of his titles right now. It just happened in the last couple weeks. Are you kidding me? This guy had penetrated or was somehow a tool of the British at the highest levels. And they have a lot of downside in Russiagate too. I mean, what we know now about the Russiagate operation was that it was a two state job, at least.

27:13 Britain's role in Russiagate is another one of those stories that if we had a real press corps, there would have been God knows how many reporters assigned to that by now. And they're just not. Nobody does the work. How come they never get mentioned? How come it's always Israel, Israel? But we have this guy who was palling around with the second in line for the throne or whatever, I guess at one point maybe, who has now been exiled practically from Israel.

27:49 his, the monarchy of England, no biggie. Talk about the dog that didn't bark. So I can't wait to see Matt Talleyby's inbox. You Zionist shill! You're taking shekels again from Israel! No, he completely understands it. Well I don't know about that completely. Well, no you're right. And he will report on it and no one will read it and no one will say anything about it. But at least he'll write about it and he connects this to Russiagate, which we already saw happening. And this is probably the reason why Trump wanted this Epstein stuff delayed.

28:30 And because he's got, on one hand, he's got Department of Justice going after everybody who was involved in Russiagate. He wanted to bring this in at the appropriate time, which would be right before the midterms, and of all these embarrassments and everything taking place, which by the way, I think probably wouldn't work anyway with the way our media operates. It would either be ignored or... Yeah, I have to agree because there's too much stuff out there right now that's being ignored. But it was an idea that he had in mind, which I think is another one of the reasons he was hating on Marjorie Taylor Greene.

29:08 because her and these other boneheads were popping it too quick, popping it too quick. And they couldn't take a chance on reading them in because if you do that, because there were loose cannons. So you couldn't say anything. You say, Marjorie, here's what we're up to. We want this to go on until like next year around March, April, May. At least, at minimum. At least, July would be better. Can you just cool it, cool your jets? So, and I can't do that. Yeah. So here's Taibbi connecting it all. It's all a carefully sculpted non-story, which again is right back where we were in 2018 and 2019. And this time, instead of anti-Russian hysteria, it's going to be Israel hysteria that's going to, it's going to drive this whole thing. Um, as you point out, like, and,

30:02 You just caught me screwing this up. Robert Maxwell's British, right? You know, British newspapers. He was next. He was next to Rupert Murdoch as a purveyor of tabloid journalism in England. Ghislaine hung out with the royal family. If you map American society, which I have tried to do in an amateur way, OK, for 30, 40 years, Who knows who, who hangs out with who, where do they hang out, what do they do together, who's friends, who dates, you know, who hires each other. You will find that Jeffrey Epstein, since about the 1990s, has been one degree of separation from everyone, from entertainers to actors.

30:51 to press people, to politicians, to royals. And then the final bit where Kern really gets to show his background. And you've got to remember the royal family of England in some ways is a pyramid, is the peak of the pyramid and even in terms of American social life. You know, those people come to America a lot and the invitations that they give in England are answered by Americans. Vanity Fair in the 1980s where I worked was an absolute royal worship fest.

31:29 You know, the British kind of invasion of American and New York society which began in the 80s went on. This is the precondition for spy and work. Absolutely. New York was edited by Tina Brown, former editor of the Tattler in the London Society Magazine, whose husband was the former editor of the Sunday Times Harry Evans, many would have thought that he was also associated with the British establishment. Let's put it that way. And having gone to school over there, I can tell you that the difference between British intelligence and British high society is not a difference. Welcome to the party, Walter and Matt. I love that they're looking at this, seeing it this way.

Greg Abbott, Texas Mosque Propaganda

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is accused of using reports of new mosques in Texas as a political tool to mobilize the GOP base for his re-election campaign. Critics suggest the narrative regarding the "dangers of Islam" is a coordinated operation to position Abbott as a protector of the state. Internal campaign sources indicate that while the propaganda may not be directly funded by the campaign, it aligns with their voter outreach strategy.

greg abbott· texas· islam· mosques· political campaign

32:23 Which is a good way to look at it. Yeah, it's a better way of looking at than the standard fare right now, especially if you listen to all these two-bit analysts. This is Islamists plus Communists getting together. It's the old Communist... regime from Russia, from the Soviet Union, the same communists are teaming up with the Islamists. Oh boy. Have you not, you haven't seen this? Yes, of course. Of course I have. And it's like it does, it makes zero sense. Well, here's part two of the email from the anonymous official, no agenda lobbyist. Quick note on Texas, you're spot on with the Muslim talk trying to get out the GOP vote.

33:14 Abbott is running for governor again, announced on November 9th, and his campaign is pulling no punches. How do I know? I talked to the two men running his campaign. As they are working with me and some of the members I represent in Texas to do political events touting Texas manufacturing, is the propaganda directly connected to the campaign? Probably not, but that doesn't mean conversations never happened. So this is exactly why Abbott, the minute this thing started to peak a little bit with 48 new mosques in Texas in 24 months, why he comes out with a proclamation, I'm Gregory Abbott. I'm here to protect you from these terrorist organizations. Have no worry, I'll take care of you. And after we discussed this, that this is clearly an op,

34:07 I got the the typical responses like with all due respect I usually agree with you with all due respect Your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam by the way I don't think I'd said anything about the dangers of Islam only that this history area. No all you said is is that this is bull crap what they're talking about. And whether there's dangers with Islam, I had a good note from somebody, I don't know if I printed it out or not, I'll read it, from one of our guys.

34:44 he a Muslim. Oh I got his note. Oh yeah that note I'm talking about. Yeah. And because he's for some reason I have no idea why this guy wants to be so anonymous although he's very he's very spooky in a way. Well shall I read the key pieces from his note? Yes please do. So first of all he did indeed call it. He said, I called it I told you care would be next. The next phase is against political Islam and their most refined approach in the brotherhood. Um... The Brotherhood is a very adept group. Again, we know the Brotherhood was invented by the British. We've heard the Muslim Brotherhood. He just calls it the Brotherhood. Yeah, well that could be Christians. They didn't plan a mass migration to Europe, but they simply hijacked and tried to group all the migrants from Muslim countries under their own ideology. Brotherhood-oriented figures were instrumental in driving Obama and Hillary's rubbilizations in the early 2010s through the techno experts and ops.

CHAPTER 09 / 39 Discussion

Muslim Brotherhood, Global Intelligence Operations

An anonymous source with ties to intelligence claims that a new phase of political operations is targeting the Muslim Brotherhood. The report suggests that religiously moderate countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia view the Brotherhood as an arch-enemy. The analysis also touches on the difficulties of assimilation for certain migrant groups and the influence of Salafist ideology in regions like Afghanistan.

34:07 I got the the typical responses like with all due respect I usually agree with you with all due respect Your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam by the way I don't think I'd said anything about the dangers of Islam only that this history area. No all you said is is that this is bull crap what they're talking about. And whether there's dangers with Islam, I had a good note from somebody, I don't know if I printed it out or not, I'll read it, from one of our guys.

34:44 he a Muslim. Oh I got his note. Oh yeah that note I'm talking about. Yeah.

Brotherhood-oriented figures were instrumental in driving Obama and Hillary's rubbilizations in the early 2010s through the techno experts and ops.

35:44 But there is an op in place which could be triggered by multiple parties. I don't want to point to a specific group here, but there are numerous interests at play. By the way, this line right here tells me that he's in some kind of intelligence. Part 1. The insanity of the Democrats brought Christians and Muslims together against woke ideology. There's a group that does not like this. That's an interesting one. I hadn't thought about that. Right-wing groups are alarmed by how Europe became, and this needs to be controlled. There's your Texas meme. Religiously moderate countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are launching against the Brotherhood. They consider the movement their arch enemy. Of course, we just made big friends with Saudi Arabia. Zionist groups are trying to reset public opinion and the gaze for Gaza mentality among liberals in the West. You see, it really behooves a lot of people, this kind of op.

36:38 He says he personally thinks a lot of Muslims cannot assimilate into modern societies. They can't even assimilate into Arab modern societies. The nature of open migration that brings the most economically challenged who were preached by the most extreme wings of Islam are to blame. This is exactly what happened in Afghanistan. We have a group of super hardline Salafists gaining full control over a very basic society that is economically driven into the ground. The reason why this... We haven't talked about the Salafists for a long time. No, we haven't. They're also called the Wahhabi sect. Yeah. So the United States no longer has an open border. The Muslim population is what? 1.2% of all of America? 1.3 plus. You'd expect it to double by 20, 30, 2.7. A small search just in the...

CHAPTER 10 / 39 Discussion

Dearborn Michigan, Muslim Population Realities

Residents and workers in Dearborn, Michigan, dispute national propaganda portraying the city as a hotbed of radicalism. They note that a significant portion of the Arab population is Christian, specifically Chaldean and Lebanese, and has been integrated since the 1960s. While cultural markers like hijabs are present, locals report that the community shares traditional Christian values and that claims of public calls to prayer are largely exaggerated.

dearborn· michigan· chaldean· lebanese· islam

37:33 Houston Dallas area number of churches in Dallas 2442 so that against your so-called 2000 how many churches in Dallas alone 2442 in Harris County 3414 I mean there are I mean there's a lot of... we are a Christian nation. We're not like Europe who are nothing, who gave up everything. Their churches are now WeWork office stations and Airbnbs. So anyway, with all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been. Is this from the same note? Yeah, this is from the one I started originally.

38:24 Not this is not from our guys. No. You didn't make that clear. Well you interrupted me and I went straight to the notice. Well you still make it clear you can't blame me. I'm not blaming you. I'm just telling you facts really happened in the flow of the show. I'll start over. With all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been, but the punchline will be brutal when you're hit with the convert or lose your head. It's not a fairy tale. We're talking again about 1.3% of the population. The jihad is not an invention of Islamophobia. So first of all, if you really want to talk about Texas,

39:05 15 years ago, we were talking about Fethullah Gulen's Harmony Charter Schools. One of our producers... I forgot all about that guy. One of our producers, Sir Mark, he made a movie about it. Yeah, which I went to see and met him. Yes, and there's I think 300 of these schools. Boy, have they radicalized everybody? They may have gotten a crap education, but it hasn't worked. So and we've been paying attention to this for a long time and if you send me videos of I am here She Ali who I know personally You know, you're not you're not making a good argument This is we are not Europe. There's a whole bunch of reasons why this is not going to happen

39:50 Now, I also love the emails like, you should get out of Fredericksburg more often. You see what's going on. He gets out of Fredericksburg a lot. I do. And there's also not- You get out of Fredericksburg more than you'd expect. There's also not- But you get out of Fredericksburg more than most locals in Fredericksburg do for sure. Yeah. So, thankfully, one, two, three, four, five producers live in or around Dearborn, Michigan. Because this is what is continuously touted as the hotbed. This is where it's happening. This is so bad. It's just the worst. It's run by Islamists.

40:28 Yeah. So first we get a Zetter, Gen Zetter. I'm 29, union electrician, actually working for G.E. Varon on a steam power plant, which is cool. When I was a kid in Dearborn, as well as Hamtramk, Ham, Hamtramk, Tramk? I don't know that place. It was pretty much all Polish people. That is not the case anymore. I still work in Dearborn for Ford Motor Company quite a bit. Calls to prayer are a thing, but not daily. Downtown Dearborn is definitely filled with women in hijabs, which to me isn't a big deal. The biggest problem with the Muslim situation, by the way, every single one of these emails tells me that most of the Arabs living in Dearborn are Christians.

41:12 They may look like they're Muslims, but most of them are Christians, the majority. If you recall when 9-11 happened, you and I remember, the Arabs in Dearborn were putting bumper stickers saying, I'm a Christian, I'm not a Muslim. You remember that? Daily. The biggest problem with the Muslim situation in Dearborn is they are terrible drivers. Driving through downtown Dearborn is like driving through Baghdad. People constantly stopping in the middle of the street and parking on the sidewalk. They're terrible drivers in the Middle East. They are. In fact, somebody once pointed out that they always slamming their hands against the side of their cars to make noise and honking. They like honking a lot, yes.

41:57 Like honking a lot. Let's see, we got Brad, we have, here's a Dearborn Zoomer. I was just driving through Dearborn yesterday. The thing is that a lot of people probably miss is there's a massive population of Arabic Christians, mainly Chaldean and Lebanese that live in the area. They've been here since at least the 60s and the Chaldeans own a ton of property in Detroit and surrounding areas. You know, so this is... when you see a brown person on Instagram reels, don't immediately think that Dearborn has been taken over. It's just not true. Well, it has been taken over by one thing from what I understand from the people I know that go in and out of there. Good food. Very good food. Yes. Yeah.

42:46 So I put all these notes in the show notes or dweezil of Dearborn is in there. Joshua, let me see what Joshua says. I've been listening to your show for years. I live outside of Dearborn, drive through it most days. I used to live in West Dearborn. Everybody else say when I was growing up, when he was growing up. It's the largest Muslim population outside of the Middle East. We used to call East Dearborn Little Lebanon. I'm a mid-30s Christian white guy. All the propaganda I see is heavy and bull crap. I used to love living near Muslims and I've done a lot of business with Muslim men. They're terrific neighbors. They are very close to Christian values. Even the women come here and assimilate into American values. I see more cases when the women go out without a hijab. They keep their religion but no one wants to have Sharia law here. Also, I've never heard prayer chant over the speakers.

43:34 I've asked friends recently, they've never heard that either. I've never even heard them during Ramadan when I lived in Dearborn. Although a lot of people in these notes did complain about church bells. They find the church bells quite annoying. So all this is to say, this is an op. And it's, as always, it's politically motivated. And where I first kind of thought that people wanted, and it still could be that this whole epic and Muslims and the mosques, 48, 48 mosques and thousands of churches, that it was against Abbott. Now I'm feeling, oh he had this hyped up a little bit so he could be Mr. Savior coming and say there's never gonna be an epic center or meadow or whatever you want to call it. They won't be allowed to buy land. I'm your governor. I'm the guy you want to vote for. Seems pretty plausible to me.

44:25 I think it's the only explanation. Yes. So now, of course, Abbott is not, you know, any sorry. I mean, don't forget during COVID he's the one who took off and took a vacation in Mexico. And he had us locked down for a bit. No, that was Cruz. Cruz took the Mexican vacation. Oh, I thought Abbott took off too. No, but yeah, Abbott locked us up. I know Cruz did, but I thought Abbott also did. I don't remember. But Abbott locked us up. People haven't forgotten that. So this brings us to... But who's going to run against Abbott? Abbott's going to... I don't think he needs all this extra leverage. Well... Because he thinks there's a Democrat on the horizon that's going to beat him? No, I would say another Republican probably. I don't know. I will ask the lobbyists to let us know. Ask the lobbyists. Who's the competition? Yes, it would be a Republican, not a Democrat. Abbott wants to keep his power.

CHAPTER 11 / 39 Discussion

Zoran Mamdani White House Visit, Donald Trump Meeting

President Trump hosted New York City Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani at the White House for a productive meeting focused on urban affordability. Despite their ideological differences—Mamdani is a democratic socialist and Trump has called him a communist—the two found common ground on issues of crime, housing construction, and reducing rents. Trump expressed a desire to help Mamdani succeed for the benefit of New York City.

zoran mamdani· donald trump· new york city· socialism· white house

45:23 So then the other big news, speaking of Muslim socialists... I'm not from Texas and so I don't have... I'm not governed by Abbott but overall except for his lockdown and some of his crappy policies, the way he handled the immigration thing by busing people out of the state I thought was genius. So the guy's creative. He was a showboater and he went down there to Eagle Pass and You know, I understand that. I remember those videos. He did his big press conference while they were walking across the border right through the open fence a mile away. He's a showboater. He's full of crap. People don't really respect him. You know, he jumped on board once Trump gave him backing and then, yeah, okay. But get rid of him then. I gotta find out if there's someone better. I don't know. Give us Marjorie Taylor Greene. That would be funny.

46:19 So did you get anything on the mom Donnie visits to the White House? I do have a couple clips I think. Okay, because I got a couple and I'll wait for you to go first. Well I have to admit you were kind of flat footed. I would hate to be steamrolling you. We normally do that. But this is why I'm taking your feelings. Trump-Mamdani meeting. This is a good overview from NTD. President Trump welcoming New York City's mayor-elect, self-described democratic socialist, Zora Mamdani, to the White House today. This as the House passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism. The horrors! The vote taking place shortly after 4th of July. Did she say horrors?

46:57 The House passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism. The vote taking place shortly after. after

47:37 put aside a lot of their differences today, saying that they look forward to working together after months of publicly criticizing each other. President Trump says that they had a quote, great productive meeting and that they have one thing in common. They both want the city that they love to do well. The president began the meeting congratulating, uh, mom Donnie on his election win, saying that the better that he does, the happier he will be and vows to help make a safe and strong New York. Mamdani and President Trump are from very opposed philosophies. Mamdani is a self-described democratic socialist who the president has frequently referred to as a communist, which is a label that Mamdani has rejected. Mamdani's campaign promises include free public buses, universal child care, city-run grocery stores, and increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030. President Trump, a native New Yorker, has called those policies crazy in the past,

48:30 But today he says that some of Mamdani's ideas are really the same as his. Take a look. We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down, all things that I agree with. Now we may disagree how we get there. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City. It's where I come from. Ultimately, it's for the good of New York. If this city could be unbelievable, if he could be a spectacular success, I'd be very happy. I feel bad for people who don't trust Trump.

CHAPTER 12 / 39 Discussion

Trump and Mamdani, Political Theater and Affordability

The meeting between Trump and Mamdani is characterized as a "surreal love fest" where both populist leaders utilized political theater to claim the mantle of affordability. Trump joked about their mutual name-calling, telling Mamdani it was "easier" to just agree to being called a fascist than to explain it. The discussion touched on potential development in Queens and Brooklyn to alleviate the housing crisis through increased construction.

donald trump· zoran mamdani· affordability· nypd· housing

49:10 You know, and like, this guy's just an op, he's part of the neocon. You are witnessing some of the funniest political stuff in our entire lives. You'll never have another president like this. Ever. Ever. And it's befuddling people. And I love it. Here's Martha Raddatz. That was a remarkable scene. I don't think I've ever seen President Trump. That wasn't surprising. supposed to happen that way. Treat a Democrat so kindly in public, what was that about? It's a very good question. I think none of us really knew how this was gonna play out and then it turned into this complete love fest. I mean, it really wasn't that long ago that they were hurling insults at each other, right? I mean, Trump labeling mom Donnie a communist, mom Donnie calling Trump a fascist. And yet on Friday, all of that, I think to much of our surprise was water under the bridge. I thought it was very interesting that

50:06 Trump clearly knows that Maumdani's message of affordability is gaining traction. At some point, it seemed like they were trying to out affordability each other as both parties try to claim that mantle and very strategic of the mayor elect to come in and remind the president that some of his supporters had backed him. Trump then saying, he thinks even some conservatives will be surprised by Maumdani. I'm curious to see where concretely they work together and just how long this budding bromance will last. Bromance. You know, I don't know about you. Can I? Let me ask you a question. Yeah. Did you expect anything other than what happened? It seems so obvious to me that once Mamdani asked for the meeting, that this is exactly what was gonna happen. They're both populists, and they're just from two sides of the political spectrum, but they're both the same basically, and they both use the same techniques as I mentioned in my Substack column, dvorek.substack.com, go check it out.

51:07 It was when this happened, it was just like I too and they're both sales guys. I mean, I'm not as professional as Trump, but they're, you know, glad handers. And what else was going to happen? Well, but we've been observing the Trump algorithm for 10 years. And it's like, yeah, you could almost predict it. It was. And but he took it to a level that was just so beautiful. I think he had shills in the press corps. to ask certain questions and I finally, I think this ABC clip I think has better audio about the fascist comments and all that. But he's sitting down, has Mamdani standing, total power move, patting him on the elbow, you know, don't worry about it. Yeah, they're giving each other a lot of touching going on. Hey, you two, get a room. Mamdani

52:03 Clearly not as experienced. How could you be? He just doesn't have the years. Very impressed with him though. I thought he handled it well. But this was a win for the president. I mean, if New York does well, Trump says, well, that's because I helped Mom Donnie. And if New York doesn't do well, Trump says, well, I helped. You know, he screwed it up. I did what I could. I did what I could, yeah. Here's ABC in New York. It was a surreal love fest no one saw coming with President Trump in the Oval Office at every turn showering Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani with praise. Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office? No, I don't. I met with a man who is a very rational person. The President even repeatedly throwing... Do you know who that journalist is? Because she asked all of those hot button questions. I did not recognize her.

52:50 Blonde, she's blonde. Oh that little, yes I've seen her before when I saw her because she asked the question about the fascists. And I've been trying to think, I know who it is, I just can't, and her voice doesn't trigger it. I can't tell you but I've seen her a lot. She's a big shot on ABC. Oh yeah, well she's a shill. That could be. I think she was shilled in. But I'm actually of the opinion she's not a shill. Let's listen. With praise. Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now in the Oval Office? No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person. The president even repeatedly throwing mom Donnie a lifeline. Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? I've spoken about- That's okay, you can just say yes. Okay. It's easier than explaining it.

53:41 That was just, that was fantastic. Just so you know. Yeah, because he, for one thing, Mamdani is one of the best obfuscators we've seen for a long time. In other words, everything, you can ask him anything, he's gonna say, I don't care about that, I care about the citizens of New York. I don't care about that, I wanna help New York be cheap, prices to go down in New York. I don't care about that, New York is what I'm thinking about. So that's his basic, you know, his basic shield to any question. He was about to go into that but then it would have blown the joke and so Trump jumped in there with his, go ahead say yes. He says it's easier if you don't have to explain it to him. In other words, he basically said we both know what we're doing here, we know this is theater, I call you a jihadist, you call me a fascist, just say yes, it's easier. That

54:35 Just just I mean that was a rug pull. I loved it. I thought that was fascinating Affirming that you think president trump is a fascist. I've spoken about that's okay. You just say okay Why did you fly here aren't trains greener now that was a shill question? Why didn't you fly here aren't let me come on is that ABC is that the new ABC who's asking that I? But it's not a new ABC, the new thing is CBS. But that's what I'm saying, it's like since when did ABC start to make jokes about, to the Democrats, about climate change? Well, you know, I'm not going to dismiss

55:24 Your thoughts on this completely, though I just don't see her being a shill. Okay, well anyway, you may not be able to hear it, but Trump says it's too long to take the train. Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener? That's a very long drive. I'll stick up for you. Do you see Democrat policy specifically as being a problem? some interesting conversations. Some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have. And Mom Donnie repeatedly returning the favor. When I spoke to New Yorkers who had voted for the president, when we asked those New Yorkers who had voted for the president, there were more New Yorkers who voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living. There are many

56:08 things in our city where we are. I mean wow, wow, he's just, he's just upping the big, upping the president there. What is happening here? The most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living. There are many things in our- Is mom Donnie a double agent? Could that be possible? Our city where we have to own the responsibility of the things that existed long before the president was the president. Political experts say Mamdani right now is the avatar for affordability in a position where he can provide the president some credibility on the issue. But now Mamdani, once thought to be a liability for House Democrats across the country, may have become their greatest strength. The president was also asked if he would quote, allow Mamdani to make NYPD personnel decisions.

56:52 The president responded, that would be up to the mayor-elect. He was also asked if he would feel comfortable living in New York again. He said, absolutely, adding, we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. So this is probably quoted. I have to discuss the analysis from the right, which is kind of rosy, which claims that Trump used this moment to To elevate Mamdani as the... No, he did not. to elevate Mamdani so the exact scheme that I discussed in that column I wrote, which is to turn the Democrats toward the Bernie Sanders side of the party and make them all think that socialism is the way to go nationwide when it will just kill them in any presidential election. Because it's a singular situation in New York

CHAPTER 13 / 39 Discussion

Mamdani on Meet the Press, FDR Comparison

Mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani appeared on NBC's Meet the Press to discuss his White House visit, comparing his relationship with the federal government to that of Fiorello LaGuardia and FDR. Mamdani defended his decision to meet with Trump, stating that his primary responsibility is to the eight and a half million residents of New York City. He maintained his past criticisms of Trump while emphasizing the need for a shared analysis of the affordability crisis.

zoran mamdani· kristen welker· fdr· fiorello laguardia· dsa

57:53 And there's a couple other places which would vote like this. You know, they think they know it all. And also, Mamdani, I'm sorry, I'm always gonna have trouble to get his name out smoothly. Mamdani is going to have difficulty when he gets back to New York by the naysayers there. Why did you meet with Trump? The DSAs in particular, why did you meet with Trump? You shouldn't have met with Trump. Why are you meeting with Trump? He's the enemy, blah, blah, blah. You don't think the DSA approved it and set him up for it and gave him the talking points and they just never thought that Trump would do this? No. I don't think Montani is run by anybody.

58:38 I think once he got in, I think he's full of himself. I think he's really convinced he doesn't need their help. Kind of like a Gavin Newsom type deal. Newsom's the same way. He's not run by anybody right now. Smoking his own dope. Smoking his own dope. Is that what you think? Yeah. Well, Mamdani was on... He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who's... I mean, he's not an idiot. No. You don't need to be much more than above an idiot to be a politician. It's like show business for ugly people. No, but it's useful. It is useful. So Mamdani was on with Manhans Welker this morning on NBC Meet the Press.

59:21 So this is hot breaking, breaking right off, hot off the press, breaking news. Were you surprised by the warm welcome that you got? You know, I was looking forward to having the meeting with the president to speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who call the city we love home. Yep, yep, that's, you're so right. It's exactly what he talks about. It's beautiful. Yeah, it's pretty good. And to speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who call the same city we love home and to speak frankly about the affordability crisis that is pushing so many of them out of those five boroughs. And I found in the meeting that I had with the president a productive one and a meeting that came back again and again to the central themes of the campaign that we ran. The cost of housing, cost of childcare, the cost of groceries, the cost of utilities.

1:00:05 And it showed that this is an opportunity to now start to deliver so that people can do more than just aspire to struggle in New York City, but actually to be able to live there. But did you expect it to be so chummy? What was going through your head when... Take two. Come on, Kristen, you can do it. You were standing there. You know, I thought again and again about what it would mean for New Yorkers if we could establish... There it is. It's perfect. I'm just thinking about New Yorkers, people. that would focus on the issues that those New Yorkers stay up late at night thinking about. Because so often in our politics, we try and tell people what they should be worried about, what they should be concerned about. But when you actually ask New Yorkers and you listen to them, you hear it come back to the issues that animated not just the conversation the president and I had with the press after our meeting, but frankly in the meeting itself.

1:00:48 It was a conversation where we spoke about the need to deliver on this agenda and I appreciated that when the president, when we had that meeting, it wasn't just in the Oval Office, he also took me into the Cabinet Room and there we were looking at portraits of presidents of years gone by and we admired a portrait of FDR. And in many ways, when I think about the candidacy that we've put forward, it looks to Fiorella LaGuardia as the greatest mayor in New York City history. You can't tell the story of LaGuardia without telling the story of FDR and the story of a relationship with the federal government that finally delivered at the scale of the crisis it was facing. Now you would be uniquely positioned to explain the relevance of the FDR painting they took the picture in front of.

1:01:31 I don't know what specifically you're asking me to do here. Well, tell us about FDR. Well, FDR was a socialist or a populist in some ways if you think about it. In fact, that's the reason I think he got re-elected so many times because he was actually a populist. But he put in a socialist agenda or left-wing agenda. But he was a populist just like Trump and LaGuardia is like the same kind of a analog of this Mamadomini guy. He's trying to put it together that this is the same relationship. And Trump, by the way, picked up on this and claimed that he was now being equated with FDR.

1:02:11 And that got picked up by all the right ringers. Everybody picked that up. Everybody picked up on the Trump FDR connection. And so this whole thing is, I mean, this Mamdani guy is terrific as a subtle propagandist. I don't know where he got these skills. I think he was probably discovered just by the DSA guy, by the same people that found the guy with the tattoo. And AOC. And AOC, yeah. And he's an actor. He said it, I think, in one of the clips we had some time ago. He's a theater kid. He was a theater kid in the eighth grade. He was bitching about something in one of the clips we had some months back about some play he was in when he was a kid. Yeah, he's a theater kid. So he's a phony. But in the greater scheme of things, this is fantastic for Trump.

1:03:06 I think he really handled this. The FDR painting apparently had it pulled out of the archives. Hey, hang that thing up there. My mom Donny's coming. I got an idea. Yeah, I wonder if he showed him the auto pen picture. You know, he's got that wall of presidents goes right to Biden and Biden's picture is a picture of the auto pen. So when it came to affordability, which is really the whole point that the president is trying to gain some ground on here, because that's what Mamdani won on, ran on and won on, affordability, affordability. He finagled it so that

1:03:44 It wasn't about freezing rents and screwing owners of apartment buildings and homes. No, it was quite the opposite. It was a complete Trumpian love fest on how we're going to make housing more affordable. We had a meeting today. And build more. I'm sorry? Yeah, build more. And build more. Yes, Bill Moore, that's yes. Do I need to play the clip or this since you're I guess you wanted to get build more We had a meeting today that actually surprised me he wants to see no crime he wants to see Housing being built he wants to see rents coming down all things that I agree with Now we may disagree how we get there the rent coming down. I think

1:04:25 One of the things I really gleaned very much today, we'd like to see him come down ideally by building a lot of additional housing. That's the ultimate way. He agrees with that and so do I. But if I read the newspapers and the stories, I don't hear that. I see what he's doing here. I mean, you agree with that, don't you, Zoran? Zoran, Zoran, you agree with that. But I read the newspapers, I don't read any of that, so I'm telling you now it's Bill Moore. But I heard him say it today, and I think that's a- I heard him say it? A very positive step. No, I don't expect, I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City, it's where I come from. I spent a lot of years there, now I'm right here.

1:05:10 We took a big setback with the mayor that we had, Dame de Blasio. I thought it was a tremendous setback for the city. I think this mayor can do some things that are going to be really great. Perfect. Bill, I heard him say it. He didn't say it. Of course he didn't say it. But I heard him say it. Trump is eyeballing Queens and Brooklyn, but Queens in particular because there's a limit on height. There's a height limitation. The whole city. Or the whole borough. You can't build a bunch of skyscrapers like you can in Manhattan, which is like where they... You don't want to build anymore in Manhattan. I mean, there's only a few places left. Maybe that Mamdani guy can get that restriction removed. That's the idea. They're going to get the restriction removed on the buildings and they're going to build up, they're going to build up into the air Queens to make it a mini Manhattan. And that's money in the bank.

1:06:03 Here's everybody lots of jobs, cheaper housing, it'll lessen the stress on the housing market there. It's a huge winner and they both know it. I think that's what they talked about. Back to Manhans Welker, final clip. In that press conference with President Trump, a reporter asked you whether you believe that President Trump is in fact a fascist, a word that you've used in the past. You were about to answer, then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, that's okay, you can just say yes, it's easier than explaining it. So Mr. Mayor-elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?

1:06:46 How do you think he answered? He's got to go back to his New York fallback. No, I don't think so. No, no. It's worse. He should have done that. You think that President Trump is a fascist? And after President Trump said that, I said yes. After Trump told you to say yes. So you do. And that's something that I've said in the past, I say it today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment. And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver on a shared analysis of an affordability crisis for New Yorkers. You've also said in the past that President Trump has engaged in a quote,

1:07:27 hack on our democracy, you've called him a despot. Do you still believe President Trump is a threat to the democracy? Everything that I've said in the past I continue to believe and that's the thing that I think is important in our politics is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements. This is a slick answer by the way. Everything I've said in the past, like, I, he's not going to say yes. He says, everything I've said in the past, I still believe today. Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe. And that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that brings us to that table. Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office to make a point or make a stand. I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers. A few weeks ago, I was asked by a reporter three words to describe myself. I said, New York City. And that's what animated that conversation. How do we deliver for the people of New York City?

1:08:15 Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a good game. It was good. I was very, I was very, uh, very delighted with this, with what happened. It was fun to watch. I have a bunch of clips that kind of follow up on this on socialism BS. All right. Because this was a series of... I don't know why this commentary came up. I think, well, why did it come up? Because we're talking about socialism now more than we used to. And this is from NTD, which of course is a right-wing operation for all practical purposes that I still think do some of the best news coverage in the world.

CHAPTER 14 / 39 Discussion

House Resolution, Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism

The House of Representatives passed a concurrent resolution denouncing the "horrors of socialism," timed just before the Trump-Mamdani meeting. Introduced by Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar, the resolution cites the failures of regimes in Cuba and Venezuela. Critics dismissed the vote as a symbolic waste of time that ignores the actual definitions of socialist policy in favor of political posturing.

house of representatives· maria salazar· socialism· venezuela· cuba

1:08:55 All right, let's play these clips because I have the word I have the letters BS written here because there's some very interesting BS. Just ahead of a White House visit by New York City Mayor elect and self-described democratic socialist Zora Mamdani, the House of Representatives passed a resolution denouncing socialism. Entities Washington. But they had a resolution denouncing socialism. Yes, I have a you want to hear about that first. That's what we're paying them to do. I resolve... This is the... here... I have that... we can do an aside and play it. Yeah, we'll do an aside, sure. And I gotta find it on here. It's the... It's not the G2. I got some funny clips today. There is a long... maybe it's in the Socialism series. Well, they don't seem very long. The next one seems even shorter than this one. Yeah, this next one's the shortest one because it's got a point they try to make.

1:09:57 There was... I thought I had it on here. They had... yes, they had a big meeting. Huh. Yes, the house went and made an anti-socialist statement just before the meeting. This is a complete waste of time and money. Yeah, well let's play these clips first. Okay, here we go. Pass a resolution denouncing socialism. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley has the details. What do socialists stand for? Tax raising, job killing policies like defunding the police. shuttering prisons, massive unfunded spending increases and even government-run grocery stores. Oh so it wasn't just a resolution they talked about it. They had a whole debate about it? Yeah. So now go to Socialism BS2? Yeah well first I have to comment on this what this guy just said.

1:10:54 Socialism, and anyone can go look up the definition, you can do it right now, it's not about defunding the police. It's not about, in fact, just the opposite. No, you want to have the police to crack down on the citizens. It's not about releasing, closing prisons and letting one out, letting everyone out. It's putting people in prison. That's just the opposite. So what are they talking about here? That's good. Socialism is bullcrap, that's the point. What they did is they just did a resolution. We think Democrats suck. They should just proclaim that. That would have been better. Alright, BS2? Yeah. The House of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday denouncing socialism in all of its forms and the implementation of socialist policies in the US. It was passed by a vote of 285 to 98 with two voting present.

1:11:53 Okay, so they got a big vote so everybody voted. Oh, we hate socialism You know this is like to spend more time actually doing real work here in Congress, but okay We hate socialism. They made a point. Let me look it up here. Let me look it up. Let me see Oh, they don't have the full text yet. No it just happened. Oh, they still could release the text Denounce is denouncing the horrors of socialism. Yeah Yeah, horrors the horrors of socialism or whores we're talking about a lot of whores recently where socialist ideology Nessa necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsing the communist regime's Italian totalitarian rule and brutal dictation to data ships whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and massive. What is this history 101?

1:12:50 This is so dumb. Okay. Socialism BS3. The legislation opposing... Sorry? This might be the explanation we're looking for. The legislation opposing socialism in the US was introduced by Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar, the daughter of Cuban immigrants who fled the communist regime of Fidel Castro. This is nothing to do with political parties. This is a moral vote. In other words, this has everything to do with political parties and I'm the spokeshole because I came from Cuba. Against an ideology that has destroyed millions and millions of families and murdered more than 100 million lives. There were 63 co-sponsors on this bill but they singled out Venezuela.

1:13:36 I didn't notice that before. It murdered lives, not people? Let me hear that again. That has destroyed millions and millions of families and murdered more than 100 million lives. Your life has been murdered. I think the Democrats should put a proclamation before the House, a proclamation against capitalism. Now, just to even it out a little bit, let's do a tit for tat. There were 63 co-sponsors on this bill, but they singled out Venezuela as a once thriving democracy that was taken over by a socialist regime. Now the country has the highest rate of inflation in the world. They destroyed the richest country in South America. They implemented these government run supermarkets and they have empty shelves.

1:14:26 And the Venezuelans would make fun of the Cubans 25 years ago saying that it was impossible for that to happen in Venezuela. They had the largest reserves of oil in the world. They were a very strong democracy. They were not an island. It's time to denounce socialism in this country because just like it happened to the Venezuelans, it could happen to the Americans. A concurrent resolution denouncing socialism awaits in the Senate introduced by Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott. Okay, so this is interesting. She entered this resolution in 2023. This has just been sitting around the exact same text. Yeah, but now it's got 69 co-sponsors. And we threw in Venezuela. I don't think that was in the original. Throw in some Venezuela. Oh no, it is. Where's the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once prosperous country into a failed state with the highest rate of inflation in the world.

1:15:21 Whereas Thomas, President Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, how about co-author, wrote, to take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much in order to spare the others who or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it. And then we Then we have President James Madison, the father of the Constitution, wrote that it's not just government nor is property secure on it. Blah, blah, blah. What a waste. What a waste. I know. It's just a waste. And pretty funny. And so what? It's just a resolution at the end of the day. And we've talked about this before. It means nothing. It's just that we resolve. So what? Yeah. In fact, isn't that what it says at the top? Concurrent resolution.

1:16:22 The Congress, okay, resolved by... this is the whole... this is what it's all about. Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring, that Congress denounces socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. Okay, thanks. You oppose it, we get it. And she's the poster child. My parents came from Cuba. Okay, so there you go. Then there was, I don't know if this probably didn't come out before you did your DHM plug, but Kevin Hassett, who was the National Economic Committee director,

CHAPTER 15 / 39 Discussion

September Jobs Report, US Manufacturing Surge

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett praised the September jobs report, highlighting a surge in construction employment linked to eleven major companies breaking ground on new factories. Hassett attributed this growth to President Trump's policies on onshoring production. However, skeptics noted that the total job numbers remain below the 150,000 monthly threshold required to keep pace with population turnover and retirement.

kevin hassett· jobs report· manufacturing· construction· trump

1:17:10 council director, the jobs report came out. Oh, the jobs report. For some time... Yeah, I'm fascinated by the way they presented this because this jobs report is negative. It should be 150,000 jobs, otherwise we're losing jobs. Isn't that the number? Yes. 150,000 is the turnover rate. The 150,000 is the typical need for new jobs because 150,000 people a month die either retwit we die. It died. There's died. Their lives have been killed. They die or they retire. Yeah. A lot of people retire every month. This happens and you have to replace those 150,000 people to stay even. Yeah. So if the numbers less than when people have to keep remembering and for some reason

1:18:00 And I don't know why all the media, well it's pretty good. No it's not. Well here's Kevin Hassett and he's just giddy and jitty and smiling. The September numbers were absolutely like hit out of the park you know as you said. What? Knocked it out of the park. A double is not common. It's very rare but if you dig down into the details there's actually proof in the pudding that President Trump's policies are really working and here's what it is there was a big surge in construction workers and we went back and traced it back to you remember President Trump said we're going to expense new factory construction in September we counted 11 major companies that broke ground on new factories

1:18:42 and hired those construction workers. And the reason why that's so positive is that those factories are going to fill up with new workers and start making stuff and so on. And so President Trump's policy of onshoring production, creating great jobs for American workers was really, really visible in this report. And of course, it shocked experts because they've been naysayers about the president's policy all along. So Hassett is just lying. But what I think happened here is because we had a 50,000 jobs report in August, was it August or July? All of a sudden the news media says, well, that's double, that's double what it was. Well, that must be good. How dumb can you be? Even the podcasters know better than you. So now I think the news that these were no longer illegal immigrant construction workers might have been something you want to highlight.

1:19:34 And the idea that this 11 new factories broke ground. Yeah, and that'll take two years. Big deal. Well, that is the policy. Stick it in there, we'll cut a ribbon and there we go. Let's go have a drink. You are negative, Nelly. I think the president is bringing production back. I think he is. I think it's a good thing. Yeah, like the Foxconn deal he did last year. Well, that was bullcrap. Well, I am hopeful. Let's put it that way. I am an optimist. I'm an optimist on this. I'm not saying it's not a good idea. Yeah, but I'm an optimist that it'll happen. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Is it gonna happen?

CHAPTER 16 / 39 Discussion

G20 Summit South Africa, Global Economy Fraud

The G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, proceeded without the attendance of President Trump or President Putin. Trump skipped the event citing the persecution of white minorities in South Africa, while Putin avoided the summit due to an ICC arrest warrant. The meeting was criticized as a "farce" and a "scam" focused on climate finance, with non-member nations like Malaysia and Egypt filling gaps in the group photo.

g20· south africa· vladimir putin· donald trump· ursula von der leyen

1:20:16 I have a couple of questions because I got to bring something up with you. Uh-oh. This is the G20 farce clip. The G20 has had a big meeting in South Africa. Did any of our people actually go? Did we even send anybody? Well, they had a picture. This is what got me triggered on this whole topic. They showed a picture of everybody there and it said the United States and Russia. Putin can't go because South Africa will arrest him because he's He's been indicted by the International Criminal Court. Yes, ICC. And so he won't go. So that's great, isn't it? So you just have it in South Africa. He won't go and Trump thinks that South Africa sucks. Yeah. So he didn't go. But so they have the group photo and I say, wait a minute, there's 20 people in the group photo.

1:21:04 How can that be? There should be two missing, but it turns out, and I ended up doing some research, it turns out... Perplexity? Who went to the G20? No, I used Grok. Really? It turns out that Malaysia was given a guest pass. No! And Egypt was given a guest pass. Oh, so they made up for the 20. And they were put up there. So it was the G20 plus two. Well, it was the G18 Plus 2 is what it amounted to. But I have some questions to ask after you play this clip. The leaders of the group of 20 have adopted a declaration at this year's summit calling for the peaceful resolution of disputes and opposing the use of force to gain territory. The two-day meeting opened on Saturday in the South African city of Johannesburg under themes of solidarity, equality and sustainability. This G20 leader summit has a responsibility

1:22:03 not to allow the integrity and the credibility of the G20 to be weakened. The leaders said in the declaration that they affirm their commitment to act in accordance with international law and the Charter of the United Nations for peaceful settlement of disputes. They also said that all states must refrain from the threat or use of force to seek to acquire territory against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of any state. The declaration comes amid armed conflict in parts of the world such as Ukraine. The question now is how to ensure its effectiveness with key figures absent from the summit. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not attending the gathering. He is the subject of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes. South Africa is a member of the court.

1:22:57 US President Donald Trump is also skipping the meeting, claiming that minority white people in South Africa are being persecuted. Okay, what's your question? Okay, so the G20 is supposed to be what? The top 20... Economies in the world. Top 20 G's. The OG's. So we're talking about, I'm going to give you the top 20 countries in the world. By the way, we're over twice the size of China. Of everybody else. And if I'm not mistaken, well, I mean, we're massive compared to anyone under China. But when I was, I think in the late 90s,

1:23:40 They were talking about how China was gonna overtake us? Yeah. By 2020 or whatever? Oh yeah. No. Here's the top 20. United States, China, Germany, Japan, India, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, Netherlands, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Switzerland. Okay. Now, when you look at the G20, there is no Switzerland. And why not? There is no Netherlands. Really?

1:24:23 There was no representative? Or they're just not part of the G20? They're not part, well, there's no, no, there was no representative. But here's what we have. And by the way, South Africa's not in the top 20 list. Why are they not only in the G20, but why are they hosting it? It's dynamite. The wine is dynamite. And meanwhile, here's three phonies that are in the G20, actually four if you count South Africa's that shouldn't be in it. The European Union had two people. Yeah, Ursula and who else? This character Antonio Costa. Costa, he's... He's the president of the council. Yes. So they had two.

1:25:16 The Switzerland wasn't there, Netherlands is not included, but they have, you know, all these other guys, Canada, or not Canada, but UK, France, Germany, they're all there. And here's another one that shouldn't be there, the African Union. Well, the thing was... So this is bull crap. This G20 is a fraud. That's why we didn't go. And the whole thing was about climate change. I saw Ursula speaking, oh no we're still staying the course, don't worry about it, but you're not going to get any money from us. No, I hope that we can maintain that status and we don't know I mean she was even saying to South Africa. Yeah, she's not getting what she's She's cheap to about climate finance, but the point is is that this g20 is a scam? Well, I like how they started off by saying we resolve that we should have no more wars because that's basically what they said useful no more wars No more, please

CHAPTER 17 / 39 Discussion

UN Security Council, Gaza Ceasefire Plan

The UN Security Council approved a 20-point ceasefire plan for Gaza proposed by the United States. The resolution, which saw Russia and China abstain rather than veto, establishes a board led by Donald Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction. While Trump hailed the vote as a historic approval, Hamas opposed the resolution, claiming it fails to safeguard Palestinian political and humanitarian rights.

united nations· gaza· ceasefire· donald trump· hamas

1:26:15 Meanwhile, in the United Nations, the US plan for Gaza has been approved by the UN Security Council. The vote endorses US President Donald Trump's peace plan, also known as the 20-point ceasefire plan. The plan proposes the creation of a board led by Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction in Gaza. It also calls for the establishment of an international stabilization force. While the proposal outlines a potential path towards an independent Palestinian state, the language remains weak, offering neither a timeline nor any guarantees. 13 out of 15 members voted in favor of the resolution. Russia, which submitted a separate

1:26:56 a separate proposal on Gaza last week, along with China abstained the vote but did not use its veto power. Trump applauded the vote calling it one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations. Hamas, on the other hand, opposed the resolution. The group believes it fails to meet Palestinian people's political and humanitarian demands and that it does not safeguard their rights. So, that's all taken care of. Was that AI? No, that's Euronews. No, was that even Euronews? That was... let me see... Yeah, that was your own. It's gotten so bad lately so bad, but meanwhile we still have to sigh up everybody in Europe We got to get everybody all excited all upset and finally it reached the homeland the old country Yes, we've got drones over Holland Dutch military personnel opened fire on unmanned aerial vehicles local airbase But officials say the drones left the area and were not recovered stop wait a minute

CHAPTER 18 / 39 Discussion

Netherlands Drone Incursions, Military Airbase Security

Dutch military personnel opened fire on unidentified drones over a local airbase, but failed to recover or down the craft. The incursions led to a brief suspension of flights at Eindhoven Airport. While authorities are investigating the sightings as part of a pattern across Northern Europe, some reports suggest the drones may have been operated by individuals with press passes, leading to speculation of a security psyop.

netherlands· drones· eindhoven airport· electronic jamming· security

1:27:59 The Dutch military? Dutch air base, yes. But there's a military, isn't it? I think it's an Air Force base. Okay, and they opened fire and they couldn't hit the drones? Missed it completely. What kind of bonehead, what kind of training do they have? You can't hit the drone? Believe me, this is a big, it's all in Dutch so there's nothing I could play clip-wise. But they apparently they had lasers, the lasers didn't get it out, they had rifles, but they're not sure if they had anti-drone weapons. The Dutch now... They couldn't shoot a little drone flying around over their heads. And now all the Dutch, the Dutch love American words, and now the... So you hear them talking like, this vicinity drones German, we're gonna say German.

1:28:46 Which is jamming. So now everyone's talking about, hey, we need the drones jamming. We need to jam it. So they didn't jam them either. But officials say the drones left the area and were not recovered. We're going away. The Independent and the BBC report the Defence Ministry confirmed the engagement and say there are no immediate reports of casualties or confirmed damage. Later the same day, Eindhoven Airport, which serves both civilian passengers and the military, briefly suspended flights after multiple drone sightings. Sky News reports operations have since resumed while investigators work to determine who was behind the incursions. Authorities describe the episodes as part of a widening pattern of mysterious drone activity near military sites and airports across Northern Europe, prompting heightened security and urgent inquiries. Defense officials have urged the public to avoid speculation and to report any sightings as investigations continue.

1:29:48 So you've got this guy in Holland who is the drone guru and he actually found out that the previous drone sighting, remember we had a report, boots on the ground, one of our producers, a drone fell out of the sky. So he saw two dudes flying a drone over one of the airports and they had press passes. This is all a scam. This is a black? Yes, they had press passes. Oh no, we just, we just go away. That would account for them not shooting down the drones. Of course, this is all just a psyop. And the best though is the Russian spy ship off the coast of England. A Russian spy ship has been spotted off the coast of Scotland and according to the UK's defence secretary, it's pointed lasers at an RAF aircraft monitoring it. He's called the incident deeply dangerous.

CHAPTER 19 / 39 Discussion

Russian Spy Ship Yantar, UK Territorial Waters

The Russian spy ship Yantar was spotted on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, prompting the deployment of a Royal Navy frigate and RAF P-8 aircraft. UK Defence Secretary John Healey reported that the vessel directed lasers at British pilots, an action he described as "deeply dangerous." The ship is believed to be mapping undersea cables and gathering intelligence on UK maritime infrastructure.

1:28:46 Which is jamming. So now everyone's talking about, hey, we need the drones jamming. We need to jam it. So they didn't jam them either.

1:30:43 So what do we know? The Yanta is one of Russia's ships designed for gathering intelligence and mapping out undersea cables, according to the UK's Defence Secretary John Healey. It's the second time this year the Yanta has been spotted near UK waters after the vessel received a warning from the Royal Navy in January. At BBC Verify, we've followed the British aircraft that was likely deployed to track the ship. Vessels like the Yanta are often turn their tracking systems off or even broadcast false locations which means tracking it using publicly available tools is difficult. Well that's what you do if you're a spy ship you're not gonna broad... Oh! Oh we're a spy ship we're broadcasting our location then they turn it off oh no we couldn't reach it through public services lady. Now we've checked its flight path using Flightradar24 which monitors air traffic in real time. It shows a Poseidon P-8 surveillance aircraft

1:31:33 departing from RAF Loziemouth today at 9.30am before it circled an area in the North Sea and returned to base just after 2pm. We can't say for certain the aircraft has been tracking the Yanta, but it's the flight path that indicates that it's been surveilling the same patch of ocean which matches statements provided by Defence Secretary John Healey. So that is the actual BBC with the biggest non-report I've ever heard about something they have BBC verify. You verified nothing. So let's get the news straight from the horse's mouth. This is John Healey, I think. Yes, he is the defense secretary. As I speak, a Russian spy ship, the Yantar, is on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel... Why, hold on.

1:32:23 That's called wider waters. That means they're still in the international area. They just call it, you know, New York City is in the wider waters. Yeah, they're in international water. Yeah, of course. The wider waters. It's on the edge of UK waters, north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel designed for gathering intelligence and mapping our undersea cables. We deployed a Royal Navy frigate and RAF P-8 planes to monitor and track this vessel's every move. Every move. During which the Yantar directed lasers at our pilots. Lasers? That Russian action is deeply dangerous. Stop it for a second. It directed like one of those penlight lasers? What do you think it was?

1:33:14 Well, it's probably, you know, a harassment. It seems to me if they're aiming lasers at you that that's an attack and you can blow them out of the water. Don't you think? Not with a P-28. Well, no, but you'd have a fighter escort. There's nothing going on here. This is just to get people all upset about Russia. You think this is BS? Total. That our pilots That Russian action is deeply dangerous. Deeply dangerous. Then shoot him. What? I said, then shoot him out of the water if it's dangerous. No, he's going to make a threat here at the end. And this is the second time this year that this ship, the Yantar, has deployed to UK waters. So my message to Russia and to Putin is this. We see you. We know what you're doing. And if the Yantar travels south this week, we are ready.

CHAPTER 20 / 39 Discussion

Ukraine Peace Talks, Russian Drone Attacks

President Zelensky appointed a delegation to begin talks with the U.S. on a 28-point peace plan to halt the war with Russia. Simultaneously, Russia launched 104 drones and a ballistic missile in overnight attacks across Ukraine, with significant activity reported in Odessa. Ukrainian forces claimed to have shot down or jammed 89 of the drones, though several locations were hit, resulting in civilian injuries.

zelensky· ukraine· russia· drones· odessa

1:34:13 Oh, please. We are ready, I tell you. So, while that's happening, it seems like peace talks are cropping up once again. This will take place in the G20 nation that did not attend the G20 summit of Switzerland. Ukraine will begin talks with the US on the 28-point peace plan suggested jointly by Russia and the US in Switzerland in the coming days, according to Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday he had appointed a delegation to discuss with Washington the plan to halt the war. Also on Saturday, Zelensky and his wife attended a ceremony in Kiev to commemorate the great famine that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin imposed on Ukraine, which led to millions of deaths in the early 1930s.

1:35:07 Meanwhile, Russia launched 104 drones in overnight attacks on Ukraine, as well as one ballistic missile. According to Ukraine's armed forces, 89 of the drones were either shot down or jammed. However, six locations were hit by attacks. In Odessa, at least two people were injured by the attacks, according to local officials. 109 drones and a ballistic missile and two, that's what they sent over, they can say whatever they want about how many they downed, 89 of them, so at least 20 or so got through. And two people were injured? Yes. How does this math ever add up when they make these reports? Well, it came from according to Ukraine's reporting.

CHAPTER 21 / 39 Discussion

Scott Bessent on Ukraine, Battlefield Realities

U.S. official Scott Bessent discussed the ongoing peace negotiations, emphasizing that the proposed plan reflects the current battlefield reality where Russian forces hold a military advantage. The plan involves a distinction between "de jure" (legal) and "de facto" (practical) recognition of territory, with Ukraine potentially accepting a de facto loss of the Donbass and Crimea while the U.S. might recognize them as legally part of Russia.

scott bessent· ukraine· russia· donbass· crimea

1:35:54 It doesn't add up. But even... Are they exaggerating the number of drones or are they underestimating the number of casualties? Can we just presume it's all bull crap? Or is it all just bull crap? That's what I'm thinking. And for some reason, AG Scott Besant is answering questions about the peace negotiation. I find interesting. What does Scott Besson got to do with the price of bread? Well, here he is with Manhans Welker. Let's talk about Ukraine. U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, Ukrainian officials who I've spoken to say the peace plan for Russia and Ukraine as written

1:36:31 only benefits Russia. Let me ask you simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28-point plan written by Russia? I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you. I love this. Was it written by Russia? Because we know that Putin really controls Trump. Simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28-point plan written by Russia? I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you I am the highest ranking U.S. official to have visited Ukraine. I went last February. And when I went last February, I went with an economic cooperation agreement between the U.S. and Ukraine. President Zelensky pushed back against it. The same people you're just talking about there pushed back against it. Mainstream media pushed back against it. You know what? We did it three months later, and now it is the centerpiece

1:37:21 for the Ukrainian economy that this agreement is even funding military plants for the very innovative military sector in Ukraine. So, you know, I would be very careful in conventional wisdom and to go back to your question, it is a peace negotiation. A negotiation? Hmm. Let's get some information on the negotiation from the guy who always is in the know, back to his sweaters. He's not wearing the suit anymore. Andrew Rasoulis, everybody, from Canada. Yeah, so we have to remember this is a draft. The authors are Vitkov for the United States and Dmitry for the Russians.

1:38:05 The Russians officially say these are only contacts. There is no plan. So we're at that kind of stage now. The other thing we have to remember is that the Americans have sent a Department of the Army team, including the Secretary of the Army, to Kiev to talk to Zelensky about this stuff today. Lots of moving pieces. What we, what my takeaway though is that the American proposals slashed with the Russians kind of reflects the battlefield reality on the ground in the sense that yes, the Ukrainians for example would have to walk back from the rest of the Donbass, like the fortress belt

1:38:45 That would then be declared a demilitarized zone. In turn, the Russians would stop advancing below in the two obliged, Zaporizhia and Kurshan. So what we're getting here is, I think, a reflection of battlefield realities. The balance of forces do favor the Russians. So, and I've always said for some time now that Ukraine at the end of the day will come out with a shorter end of the stick, which this plan implies. But again, I emphasize that reflects battlefield reality. When the Europeans and the Ukrainians say they reject it out of hand and they want their plan, they don't seem to have the military power to do that actually.

1:39:25 So what's back on the table, and we've discussed this before, is the difference between de jure and de facto. De jour being legal and de facto being, I guess, a fact. 20% of the country, though, is what we're talking about. As you know, Andrew, the Donbass, Donetsk, Luhansk, this is an area that the Ukrainians have been fighting to try and hold on to. And Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, has said he cannot cede any Ukrainian territory. I wonder how this is going to play out now. The Europeans are saying we're not going to accept this. either. So what's the path forward here? Well, the path forward on the ceding territory is very legalistic. There are two terms, de jure, which means by law, and de facto, which means as a matter of fact. Now, the Ukrainians have for months now

1:40:14 recognized that they lack the military strength to push the Russians out of that 20% of territory back to the 91 borders, including Crimea. So the Ukrainians have said they are looking at a de facto recognition and then diplomatically they would try to work at resolving this over the long term. The Russians of course insist on legally, like de jure, by law, which they've said they've annexed. That's a very important distinction and that distinction could actually lead to a diplomatic understanding between the two sides. The other factor that we're gathering from this plan is that while the Ukrainians would not be required to legally recognize this, they would only do it as a matter of fact, the United States on the other hand would recognize that Donbass

1:41:04 and Crimea as legally part of Russia. So that would be a bit of a more of a compromise for the Russian side, a give for the Russians. So there's a lot of moving parts in here. Yes, doesn't sound like anything's happening to me. People do say de jure mostly. De jure instead of de jure? No, de jure. De jure. Why is Canadian? I give him a pass. And de facto means in fact as in practical purpose. That's what's going on. It's the fact, Jack. Yeah. Well, I don't know. Trump wants... That was not his best. No, it was not his best. No, it was no good. We can, let's see, we can talk. Well, I have Venezuela with Rubio.

CHAPTER 22 / 39 Discussion

Venezuela Cartel Designation, Guyana Oil Fields

The Trump administration is set to designate the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, citing its links to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. This move provides the U.S. with new legal and military tools to address the regime. The discussion also touched on Venezuela's economic decline under socialism and its territorial interests in the oil-rich fields of neighboring Guyana.

venezuela· nicolas maduro· cartel de los soles· guyana· oil

1:41:59 Well, I don't have that, so I'd be interested in it. Okay, this is with Margaret from this morning. Face the numb nuts. It is tomorrow that the Trump administration officially will designate the Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization. That's a cartel the Trump administration says is linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Secretary Higgs says it gives the administration new tools. Nothing's on or off the table, he says, militarily. Legally, what changes tomorrow? What becomes possible? Kill him. When you have war, the rules of engagement are lessened. So, for example, we normally... Oh, sorry, that's not Rubio. That's Rand Paul. I'm sorry. You still want to hear that? Because that could be pretty boring. Yeah, Rand Paul's got nothing to say. He's not bringing

1:42:52 And it's like they've taken him out of the loop, not read in on anything. We don't know. We don't get anything out of him. Well, I have a question about, you know, this Argentine or this Venezuelan thing is interesting to me. They're sitting off the coast is this huge oil field. And they were very prosperous just milking it and letting, like for example, Citgo, which is the offshoot of the Venezuelan oil company, sell their gasoline directly here. So it was almost a straight pipeline from Venezuela to Citgo to the gas pumps in the United States. It was just making money hands over fist. And you'd swap that out for the sketchy drug business? No, no, no, no. I don't think that's what that is.

1:43:40 No, this is about Guyana, about them wanting to take over Guyana. No, no, Guyana's a different story. There's another, yeah, there's a field there, but the point is that Venezuela has a field that is massive and they're making money hand over fist just pumping oil and shipping it to the United States and elsewhere and we're gladly accepting it and then they swap it out. Did they stop? Well, I mean, I don't... it doesn't make any sense to me. This is like, you know, having the golden goose laying egg after egg and you're just saying, I'd rather do something else. Well, socialism kills everything, man. I really don't know. It makes no sense. Drug business is pretty profitable.

1:44:24 Yeah, but it's sketchy. It's not as easy. I mean, what's easier than, you know, go, you guys can pump all you want, we'll take half the money. I mean, you don't have to do anything pretty much. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, as far as I know, this whole thing is only about the Guyana takeover. So I'm not sure what they're doing. No, but this I'm talking about, yeah, currently, that's true, but when Chavez got, was running the show before this Maduro dumb shit, there was, you know, they took it over, became a socialist country and it started deteriorating. Then it was, had nothing to do with Guyana then. No. And they were still sitting on a big oil field by themselves. They just went, what do they want the other oil field for? What difference does it make? They're not exploiting it.

1:45:14 I mean, I can only tell you what I know. These are questions I cannot answer. Right. However, good to know that on this show, the jingles are always useful. It may take a few years, but the news always comes back around to a jingle that we have. Yeah, baby. Al Shabab is back in business. Where? Boko Haram. Well, Shabab and Boko Haram, is that the same group? I don't think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yes. And by the way, I know what you're going to go with this. You're going to go to the Nigerian rousting of the Christians. Of course, they kill a lot of Muslims too, these nutball Boko Haram guys. Actually, I looked at that. This is not... I completely disagree with... They're killing Christians! It's not targeted Christian attack. It's where they're attacking.

CHAPTER 23 / 39 Discussion

Minnesota Taxpayer Fraud, Al-Shabaab Funding

Federal investigators report that billions of dollars in Minnesota taxpayer funds, intended for housing and pandemic aid, were diverted to the terror group Al-Shabaab in Somalia. The fraud involved informal cash transfer networks within the Somali-American community. Critics argue that state leaders, including Governor Tim Walz, failed to address the issue due to political concerns regarding the local voting bloc.

1:46:20 I it's not a one look at killing Christians go to Congo which you won't do because Trump's done a deal with them Yeah, I but I'm not looking at that. I'm looking at Minnesota. Okay. Yeah I'm letting you take it all right. No no you're you are I'm glad you are wrong I was not gonna say anything about they're killing Christians. I disagree. No I said that I said they're Yes, I'm not wrong, I just, I'm in agreement with you so maybe I am wrong but I'm in agreement. Yeah, you're wrong. Is the biggest funder of Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda linked terror group in Somalia actually the Minnesota taxpayer? A federal investigator says yes. An alarming claim first reported by City Journal which spoke with multiple former federal agents. The US Attorney's Office has charged dozens of defendants across multiple schemes

1:47:17 including housing aid fraud, pandemic child nutrition fraud and false billing for autism therapy. In total, prosecutors say these schemes have cost Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars. Still there are people that have legitimately could use those resources that are not getting those resources. It's past criminal. Minnesota is home to one of the country's largest Somali communities. Former state fraud investigator Keish Magan, himself a Somali-American, wrote last year that it's uncomfortable and true that nearly all defendants in these major fraud cases come from that community. They have taken advantage of the most generous country in the world and one of the most generous states in that country. And according to City Journal, some of the stolen money was sent overseas through informal cash transfer networks. Investigators say once that cash arrived in Somalia, Al Shabaab

1:48:07 took a cut, whether the sender intended that or not. Pretty much across the board, people that I spoke to said there really isn't a law enforcement solution to this problem. As you said, that's simply playing whack-a-mole. People pretty consistently told me that there needs to be a policy change here. Critics claim Minnesota leaders have tiptoed around the issue, fearing a backlash from the state's powerful Somali-American voting bloc. Yeah, I think Waltz is going to go down for this. There was so much fraud during COVID in Minnesota. So this may be an attack on him. It was just taking advantage of you, you know, it's like you leave your door unlocked and put a big sign out and say this house's door is unlocked. What do you expect? That's one way of looking at it. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. There's a lot of corruption, John. How about some TikTok clips? How about one?

CHAPTER 25 / 39 Discussion

Candace Owens, French Assassination Plot Claim

Candace Owens claimed she was contacted by a high-ranking French official regarding a state-sponsored assassination plot against her and journalist Xavier Poussard. Owens alleged that President Macron authorized a hit squad, including an Israeli operative, in retaliation for her reporting on the "Macron brothers." Skeptics suggest the claim may be the result of a prank or a "crank call" rather than a credible threat.

candace owens· emmanuel macron· france· assassination· charlie kirk

1:55:03 It's the whole point. Look at me, look at me. Now because every person was asked to retweet and share this following announcement, I feel that I should read this on the show. This is from real Candace O. Okay. Yes. That would be Candace Owens. That would be Candace Owens. And this will top everything that I could probably come up with. Probably. So it starts with a revolving light, flashing light. Urgent! Two days ago I was contacted by a high-ranking employee of the French government. After... Oh, here we go. After determining this person's position and proximity to the French couple... That would be Macron and the Macron brothers. The Macron... The Macron brothers, yes.

1:55:58 I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens. Oh yeah, they're gonna shoot her. In short, this person claims that the McCrones, also known as the McCrone Brothers, have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Yes, you read that correctly. Oh, brother. More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in National Gendarmerie Intervention Group I'm told there is one Israeli that is on this assassination squad. Oh yeah, it has to be an Israeli of course. The plans were formalized. Again, this person provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus. Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk's assassin trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi-state involvement.

1:56:56 Journalist Xavier Poussard's life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. I don't know. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out. I ask every person to retweet and share this. I do not know who in the American government can be trusted since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitely verifiable should they care to reach out to me. To the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie's public execution to risk their own life, may God bless you. Truly, let all be revealed. Wow.

1:57:44 I mean, after you go to the assassination squad with an Israeli hit guy, I mean, what else can you do after that? I mean, you pretty much have to be shot. How can you top it? I have no idea. This woman, I don't, you know, I have to say there are a lot of people that I've talked to that, or you know some very quite close to you, that are enamored with her presentation on her little show. Absolutely. And they like listening to her. She's just a chatterbox. She's a nonstop chatterbox. She's like, she could have been an...

1:58:24 She could have been one of those stand-alone reporters, the ones that you and I have both run into, which go up, they're on a TV news show. People have seen them, but you never worked with them. When you work with them, it's like, wow. They can hold a mic in front of a car wreck and talk as long as you want them to. Yack, yack, yack, and they have little moments where you can cut in and stop them. But you know, because they're pros. Yeah. And so yeah, the car came in and it turns out that the driver blah blah blah blah blah goes on and on and on. They go on. They can go on for hours. Candace Owens is one of these people that can talk endlessly about pretty much nothing.

1:59:07 But when you take it to this level, maybe someone actually did contact her at this point. Yeah, some joker. To be credible. I believe it's like some, one of the clowns out there, one of the, I know these types, troublemakers and they're, especially the United States, we're filled with them, troublemaking, you know, young guys that like to do this sort of thing. It's like the crank call guy. Yeah. And it's a crank call basically and they throw this stuff at her with you know make it sound good, but she's credible It's credible and the next thing you know she's buys it hook line and sinker cuz she's a dummy

1:59:48 I hope nothing happens to her, but to keep this going, I mean, she'll have to at least have a bullet go through a window or something has to happen. Otherwise, people are not going to find her credible. At a certain point, the gig is up. There's going to have to be some sort of attack. A brick, I think, is what it'll amount to. Oh, because that's what Israeli assassins do is they throw bricks. Well, you know, they hope to hit you. They throw the brick through the window on the off chance it'll hit you in the head if you're sitting in the right spot. Maybe it was those Russian dudes who got Fifi Lagarde. Remember?

2:01:18 It's not that low, it's just low. I consider it very low if it's under 2. If 1,888 people showed up on your doorstep, you'd be like, that's a lot of people. Yeah, well if they're at the doorstep, but they're not. This is worldwide. It's Sunday. People are doing things. What? Waiting for Cacandace. I mean, you have to understand we don't have the urgency, we don't have the revolving lights, we don't have the break, break it! Yeah, we don't have any of that. The revolving light, that's the test.

2:02:02 Yeah, yeah, we could do a better job. No, no, we'll never do that. No, we could. I didn't say we would. We could. Yeah, we could. But that's, I mean, people who listen to the NOA Agenda Show and increasingly more Zeds, the Gen Zs, the Zoomers, the Zeds, we love you. Welcome to the party. They're here. They want some real information. They want some insight. They want to get some value out of the podcast, not just be spun up all the time. You know, get some invalid... Did anyone else explain the relationship between FDR and LaGuardia? No!

2:02:42 You can't get these things on a... BREAKING! Trump sucks! BREAKING! The Republicans suck! Alert! Alert! Democrats are no good! No! It's useless. It's useless. Yeah, but that's... I mean, you're on TikTok, or you... I'm sorry, you're on X and you get your TikTok videos from X. I get them filtered. Yeah, filtered. Okay. They are, they're filtered. Yeah. There's some sources that people that just plow through these TikToks. Yeah, libs of TikTok. Okay, that's your filtering. Well, that's only one of 20. Libs of TikTok is only one of 20. Right. But if I just look on my Xfeed, okay, let's just see. Is there an explanation for this video yet? There's one.

2:03:35 Your feed sucks, by the way. It is demonic and straight from the pits of hell. Is the below fear I outlined from last year still a conspiracy theory at this point? That's Edward Dowd. I mean, the guy's actually smart. Imagine being a grown-ass man having a full-blown childlike temper tantrum over a two-word tweet from a three-star general asking, now what? LMAFAO!

Because I guess there's, you know, oh it's Texas, must be Spanish. Oh yeah, Texas, you gotta be in it. Gotta be in Spanish. So I'm getting Spanish ads. Very strange why they can't even figure that out.

2:06:13 So no ads. Yeah, although it's a good point. The work they go into with all this little analysis, they got an IP, you know, GeoFinder, they got all these things going on. They're listening in as you're sitting at home. They're watching you watch TV in many instances. They got the AI and they're tracking you like a dog and they can't get anything right. How does that work? I did get several nice little emails about what to turn off on my new television. Man, there's a lot of tracking going on in those TVs. That seems to be the way. Yeah, there is. You have to turn off a bunch of stuff. It's not that hard. And Gmail. Did you know that Gmail automatically opts you into

AI Image Generation Limits, Perplexity vs Grok

A comparison of AI tools revealed that while Perplexity can successfully generate specific images like left-handed writers or clocks showing five past twelve, it fails at other tasks. A specific "AI tip" noted that no current model, including ChatGPT or Grok, can correctly render a picture of a wine glass filled exactly to the brim. This highlights the ongoing technical limitations of generative AI models.

2:07:01 I mean, if people didn't know, you have free email from Google, Gmail, and they read all your email. Well, now, there's not actually sitting there reading it, but they scan through it, they scan the attachments. Yeah, looking for words. And they're looking for words. But now, they're loading all that into their models. They're training their AI based upon your email. So please send me a lot of funny emails so we can pollute their model. Oh, by the way, so I fell down on the job So I, we were hanging out with friends Friday night and I say, AI sucks. This is always a good one. Oh yeah, how does AI suck? Oh, why don't you tell it to show you some pictures of people writing left-handed? And then why don't you show some pictures of a clock that says it's five past 12? And they brought it up, first go. But it wasn't Chad GPT or Grok, it was perplexity.

2:07:58 Yeah. Perplexity was able to do that. So I have a new one. Ask Perplexity, Chad, GPT or Grok, to show you a picture of a wine glass filled to the brim all the way to the top. This it cannot do. Even Perplexity can't do it. So that'll be the AI tip of the day. Well, if you want to call that a tip. It's value for value man.

The hosts addressed feedback from artists regarding the selection of show artwork, clarifying that hand-drawn art is not automatically preferred over AI-generated pieces. They praised Darren O'Neill's creative use of AI prompts while criticizing other submissions for being "not funny" or poorly executed. The discussion emphasized that the quality of the concept and the humor are the primary criteria for selection.

2:08:59 Create something by hand from time to time and those people do win. There's usually nothing above that I cited this from the last episode as a full-time artist I worked the entire weekend using my free time drawing the curve coffee and curry artwork and you shoot it off as not funny This discouraged me beyond words. I wanted to only supply hand-drawn... Wait, hold on a second. This is an artist that's telling you this? Yes. So this is an artist who's never had any criticism ever? I guess not. Very rare. Very rare. I wanted to only supply hand-drawn art since you dislike AI slop and complained about it so much. It hasn't even been used for chapters! Which, by the way, is part of the modern podcast apps.

2:09:47 Very disappointed! Nevertheless, have a great weekend. Who's this? Wesley. Wesley, what did he submit? He submitted the curry and coffee art, which I guess we talked about it and I said it wasn't funny. Well, yeah, if it wasn't funny, I mean that's... I don't remember a curry and coffee art. Well, maybe it was from 1817 then. What, he's complaining about something that long ago? Well, that's only two shows ago. Well, this rest is long. Let me see if I can find it. Um...

2:10:24 Yeah, but I mean, OK, I'm sorry you feel bad about that. But we have definitely picked hand-drawn art and we're all or hand-created art and we're always delighted. But if we are, we're actually pro. Yeah, we're very pro that. But, you know, I'm sorry to say just because you did it by hand doesn't mean that it gets picked automatically. Yeah. And it doesn't mean it's any good. No, that's thank you. That's the point I was trying to make. So we will thank the artist for episode 1818 with title that the belt Bible belt buckle and this went to Darren O'Neill who got it. He created was that is that an F-35 that jet?

2:11:05 It could be anything. It could be an F-18. It's created by AI. It's AI. Just a random fighter. Probably doesn't fly. And it had ExxonMobil all over it. And that was funny. See? That's the difference. He sent me the... I don't have... I'd have to go look it up to give it to you. Oh, he sent you the prompt? He sent you the prompt? He sent me the prompt. The prompt was just simple. Yeah. I'm sure it was. It was like two sentences, boom. So he's gotten to the point where he really has a... it's the kind of... the prompt itself...

2:11:45 Producing the prompt is creative work in itself. If you're so in tune with the systems, you know how to talk to it. And that's basically where he is right now. Yeah, that's true. Once you... Yeah, that's true. So this doesn't have to be complicated. He says he got on one pass. We still got nothing but slop. I mean, that's just the fact. Besides that we did look at other things. Let me see the Nothing on TV. I kind of like the Schumer eyes by Ness works. You nix that one the Jeffrey Rhea So this kind of tripped me out so church this morning one of the pastor one of the five pastor Brian's he's doing the message and he brings up an AI art and

2:12:36 Which was if you eat Twinkies don't be surprised if you turn into a ding-dong. There's a whole whole story behind that. Ah pun! But it was it was made by the same model that Jeffrey Rea uses. I'm like, oh, I think I groaned audibly. A lot of piggies in the art. But, yeah, didn't really. A lot of people did, you know, the joke doesn't translate if you show a clock with 10 to 10. I mean, no, good. Darren with the bumper stickers, not quite sure where that came from. Not sure what that was about. No. And what else was it? A lot of it's too complicated.

2:13:20 I mean, the jet fighter with the Exxon Mobil logos all over it was stood out like a sore thumb as the best piece. Give people some direction. I mean, how do they how should they approach this since anybody can do this now? Well, most people, a lot of the artists right now, we have a lot of probably 25 to 30 artists that have won, so they know how to do it. They should look at what wins and just say, well, why did that win? Try to figure it out and then kind of put yourself in the mindset that would have created that in the first place. I actually hadn't seen... You can't tell people how to be artists. You can. Just even say anything, they bitch at you, the letter you got. Yeah. Well, I felt bad for them. I'll give you an example. There's a piece that just showed up. It's going to be for their

2:14:12 submitted for today's show the French hit squad it says no agenda it's got some black woman with a gun and then it says Candace Owens French you know the Candace Owens French hit squad Curry and Dvorak. No. You can't use that piece. I can't use that? No. It's not usable. One thing, Candace Owens is not on the show. No. So what is your name there? What's the French? She's... it just makes no sense. Well, you know, I know what it is. It's not funny. I know what it is. It's just like they put into the prompt, Candace Owens, French hit squad, no agenda. And spit that out and like, wow, that's great. I'm going to upload it. It shouldn't be submitted. That's Jeffrey Rhea. He should know better.

CHAPTER 30 / 39 Discussion

Executive Producer Credits, Technical Difficulties

The show acknowledged a significant number of producers and donors, despite a computer crash that affected the PayPal spreadsheet. Key contributors like Bill Malloy and Ken Kaspar were recognized for their substantial support, with Kaspar requesting a knighthood and specific jingles. The hosts apologized for any missed names and encouraged donors to send make-good notes to ensure proper credit in future episodes.

2:18:55 As in nothing works. That's what happens as you get older. In other words, it better be a sure thing. The microphone company was a sure bet. It still is, but it's right now until this tariff thing gets strained out. And I can't use the name sure. Let's thank our producers. We always thank everybody 50 and above who have supported us financially. It's waning for sure so Trump get the economy going. I want to say something about today did the spreadsheet crash Jaysus? Okay, so it's possible that there's some people are gonna be left out and I would say initially that if you did if you're if you expected your name called today

2:19:38 And not from checks, I'm talking about people that send in PayPal only. If you send it, because that's what happened, is the PayPal spreadsheet we're talking about. If you didn't get your name called out today and you gave to PayPal and it should have gone in by midnight Saturday, Send us a note with what you hit, you know, your amount or whatever. We'll do a list of make goods if it's important to you. What happened exactly? Did her computer crash? What happened? Yeah. Windows? Yeah, Windows. She seems like she'd be more like a Mac person. She probably would be if she had a Mac. Okay.

2:20:17 So we do have some people to thank and we always like to thank our executive and associate executive producers first who are they? Well, they're people who are fortunate enough to be able to support us with $200 or more We give you the official Hollywood title in that case of associate executive producer Which you can use anywhere these credits are recognized including IMDB comm and we will read your note $300 or above and we will give you an executive producer title and do the same with your note and we start with Bill Malloy and from Daphne, Alabama $1,913.77. But what do you think that number means? Or is that something with fees? That could be the number, that could be the show, we have to give him a show, that may be the show number plus fees.

2:21:03 Wow, that's a lot of fees. So should we just deem this to be- That's why I tell people when they're gonna donate this much money to send a check. He says, may I be known as circumspec, knight of the living debt, no karma, no jingle. Great pun, by the way. Yeah, that's good. Thanks, Bill Malloy, Malloy from Louisiana, oh, lower Alabama, sorry. P.S. JCD's Louisiana limo driver, Tom Kanan, do you know this guy? Maybe. He's a douchebag. Thanks Bill, and you will be knighted my friend.

Matt Long, Kyle Biederman, Rick Green, etc. Yeah, Kyle and Rick for sure. Keep the network tight. We all need the love of Jesus Christ and the Christian connections as things crumble around us. Are they crumbling there? No, because we have Jesus here, so when things are not crumbling, they wouldn't be crumbling. Speaking of connections bringing protection, I would like to call out all Texas listeners. To Texas, now here we go.

2:22:36 The Texas Nationalist Movement is organizing county teams. If you want to help or are interested in the progress, you can check us out on the web at TNM.ME. That's TNM, which is Texas Nationalist Movement dot E-M-E. It's the dot me domain. I believe that with this donation I am over the limit to become a knight. I would like my knight name to be Sir Ken of Brownfells. Oh, and he did you get your pen out because he's got some roundtable. Yeah, hold on a second. I didn't realize this was happening. This is part of the spreadsheet muck up right? Hold on. So it's Ken Kaspar.

2:23:23 Kaspar, Kasper, okay. Kasper, the friendly ghost. Yes, and he will be Sir Ken. It should be, is he not on the list? No, he's not. Oh, that's right. That's my fault. Yeah, okay.

They're eating the dogs followed by due to climate change You know the Trump they're eating the dogs due to climate change, which is pretty funny if you can find those two clips yes, they're eating the dogs and Due to climate change Alright, that's all he had? Just those two? Yep, that's it. They're eating the dogs! Due to climate change. That's actually quite good. That's a good one, I like it.

2:24:49 All right, Ken, you're on the list. Sean Holman is in Noblesville, Indiana, and he has donated many times before. This is our associate executive producership for him to 1911. Ah, that's no mistake, because he is from StealthArms.net, the classic 1911 platypus. He says, as we all prepare for Turkey, don't forget about the platypus.

We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Okay, I got a noisemaker too. Um... So we have a COP 30 wrapped up. We should call it FLOP 30.

CHAPTER 31 / 39 Discussion

COP30 Climate Summit, Fossil Fuel Roadmap

The COP30 climate summit concluded with a limited agreement that failed to establish a clear roadmap for phasing out fossil fuels. Petrostates like Russia and Saudi Arabia opposed the transition, leading the COP president to pursue the roadmap as a separate initiative. While financial aid for developing countries was tripled to $120 billion per year, the summit was largely viewed as a disappointment by environmental NGOs.

cop30· climate change· fossil fuels· brazil· petrostates

2:29:38 Because once again for the 30th time, nobody's happy, nobody got anything that they wanted. And you should note that they had a huge fire when some lithium batteries caught on fire in the middle of the whole thing. It's not in... I looked for a report that said lithium batteries, they kind of changed that to a microwave oven. Yeah, exactly. The COP30 summit limps to the finish line with a climate agreement that fails to include countries' biggest collective demands. Unsatisfied with the approved deal, states like Colombia, Panama, Uruguay and Canada voiced their concerns, forcing the COP president to pause the closing plenary.

2:30:21 Disappointment shared by NGOs who highlighted the missing roadmap to phase out fossil fuels, a commitment that over 190 countries had agreed to at COP28 in Dubai. Petro states like Russia and Saudi Arabia opposed the transition from oil, coal and gas. The COP president said he would pursue the roadmap as a separate initiative outside of the approved climate agreement. I, as president of COP30, will therefore create two roadmaps. One on halting and reverting deforestation, another to transitioning away from fossil fuels in a just, orderly and equitable manner.

2:31:05 Among the progress made was tripling financial aid for adapting to climate change to $120 billion per year by 2035. Good news for some developing countries for whom climate finance is more of a priority. Yeah, suck it, suckers. You're not getting any money. No one's going to pay. That's all they're there for. And apparently there were more oil and gas lobbyists than ever before at any COP30. But of course they were. Well, there's never been a COP 30. Before COP 30. Anything... This was COP 30. There were some batteries burning, but that was closer to home. That was in the port of Los Angeles.

CHAPTER 32 / 39 Discussion

Port of Los Angeles Fire, Lithium Battery Toxicity

A major fire erupted on the container ship One Henry Hudson at the Port of Los Angeles, involving approximately 100 cargo containers. Many of the containers were loaded with lithium batteries, creating a toxic smoke plume that forced a shelter-in-place order for the surrounding area. Firefighters took a defensive posture due to the unknown chemical risks, and the ship was eventually towed into Santa Monica Bay for containment.

los angeles· fire· lithium batteries· cargo ship· toxicity

2:31:48 Thick white and gray smoke swirled from the container ship One Henry Hudson. More than 100 firefighters worked from fire boats and the shore to douse the flames after it erupted at the port of Los Angeles Friday night. The unknown chemicals in there, the unknown cargo, so we really we took a defensive posture so we were spraying this from the water and from the land. All 23 crew members made it out safely. Around 100 cargo containers burned, many loaded with dangerous materials including lithium batteries creating a dangerous air quality situation for both the public and firefighters. We did not know it was in that smoke. We knew that there was some toxicity in there especially very close to the ship. This morning tugboats pulled the ship out of the port and into Santa Monica Bay

2:32:37 Bay to continue containment efforts, allowing the fire department to lift a shelter in place order. Now crews are racing to control the fire and track any dangerous contamination from those containers. We know what's in every single container, but it's determining exactly which ones had caught on fire. Those batteries are just not a good idea. Well, they're a good idea except for the one single point of failure. If they catch on fire, you can't put them out. They explode. It's no good. I mean, if they didn't do that, that would be great. Yes.

2:33:20 I'm looking at even even package them like a little separately you know that where they're set up is all everyone can't make a battery bigger than a double A's you know you just stack them all together so it's actually a bunch of double A's but it doesn't matter if one of the double A's goes up they all go up. They all go yeah yeah I'm looking at you but you got clips left over besides you. I have plenty of clips. Cavalcade of TikTok No, I'm gonna say we got that I'm pushing those off. That's good. Here's a couple of interesting clips. This is the Under-reported I don't know why the media, you know, the Taibbi was moaning earlier that you had a clip moaning Why did the media they don't cover anything? Can I ask you a question before you continue with this just just because you triggered that with? with Matt IE be

2:34:12 So we've seen all these women who are victims standing behind Marjorie Taylor Greene out on the Capitol steps, right? You saw the video, you saw the pictures. Why have I never seen a single interview with any of these women? Why does... You tell me. I'm asking you, why does no one... Not because the media is screwed up. They don't have a good... At the editor level, they're not making these assignments. It just makes no sense. Isn't that the story of the century? Why wouldn't you want to hear some salacious details? Are they under some kind of gag order?

CHAPTER 33 / 39 Discussion

Jim Jordan, Jack Smith Financial Subpoenas

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is investigating claims that Special Counsel Jack Smith secretly subpoenaed the financial and phone records of GOP lawmakers. Jordan discovered that his own personal phone data from Verizon was released to the DOJ as part of the "Arctic Frost" investigation. The probe seeks to determine if Attorney General Merrick Garland or FBI Director Christopher Wray authorized the surveillance of political opponents.

jim jordan· jack smith· doj· verizon· subpoenas

2:34:50 Can they not speak? Well, now if that's possible, but if that were true... Are they all intelligence assets? If any of this was true, don't you think that should be reported? Yes. Minimally. I would love to know. I find it... It's unusual. It's what Taibbi said. Here's underreported news that I have. This is the Jordan versus Jack Smith stuff. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is asking major banks to release documents about financial records they may have released to former special counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department. This comes after Jordan found out that a wireless company had turned over his personal phone records. NTD's Arlene Richards has more. Republican Congressman Jim Jordan wants answers from several financial institutions.

2:35:40 On Friday, Jordan sent letters to more than a dozen banks demanding communications and requests for customer financial data related to former special counsel Jack Smith's investigations. Smith was appointed by then President Biden to investigate President Trump for alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election, including the events of January 6th, 2021, and for allegedly withholding classified documents. The request for released financial records comes after recent disclosures indicate that Smith's team secretly sought phone records from several GOP senators. Jordan has now learned that his own personal phone data was also released. In a press release on Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee reported that a request for communications and documents between Verizon Wireless and the Biden Justice Department revealed that Jordan's records were involved.

2:36:34 Well, it's interesting. It's part of this Arctic Frost investigation, but they went all the way back to January of 2020. I mean, that was a year before January 6th. That was a year before the election, for goodness sake. But this was for two and a half years. Every call you make, who you call, who calls you, how long the call lasts, where you're at when you make the call, for two and a half years. Wow. Now, does Kong... Who subpoenaed them? That was Jack, the special prosecutor? He has... Jack Smith has that kind of power? I guess he did. Wow. This is another one of those stories that like going back to the Taibbi commentary. Yeah. Why isn't this like top of the fold on every newspaper discussing this is all part of the Arctic Frost thing? Yeah. This is beyond it. This is out of control and no major news operation is reporting any of this.

2:37:32 This particular, that's why I get this, that's why we have to listen to NTD to find this stuff out. So you're contradicting yourself. There is an outlet reporting this. It's not major. NTD is to me a fringe. It's very fringe. So let's go to part two. Jordan says he wants to know who authorized it. And I want to know if Garland signed off on this. I want to know if Chris Ray signed off on this. Lisa Monaco. How did this happen? The committee chairman has already been looking into Smith's Trump investigations. Now he's probing whether the Biden Justice Department and Smith used financial subpoenas to conduct surveillance on Trump associates, GOP lawmakers and even Jordan himself. Hmm. Well, that would irk me.

CHAPTER 34 / 39 Discussion

California Governor Race, Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer

The 2026 California gubernatorial race has seen new entries from Congressman Eric Swalwell and billionaire Tom Steyer. Swalwell announced his candidacy on Jimmy Kimmel Live, focusing on his role in Trump's impeachment, while Steyer pledged to end utility monopolies and increase corporate taxes. Other potential candidates mentioned include Katie Porter, Javier Becerra, and Republican Steve Hilton.

eric swalwell· tom styer· california· gavin newsom· 2026 election

2:38:18 Yeah, and of course again, nobody's covering any of it. So we have here in California, we have two people running for governor that just threw their hats in the ring. I have two clips. Wait, didn't the Chinese Swalwell, didn't he? Swalwell is running, yes, I got a clip here of Swalwell running. Representative Eric Swalwell is officially jumping into California's 2026 governor's race, declaring his run during a late night TV appearance. He says he wants to be a protector for the state, focusing on issues like housing and affordability. NTD's Christina Corona tells us more.

2:38:58 Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell made a surprise announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday declaring he's running for California governor in 2026. This great state needs a fighter and a protector, someone who will bring prices down, lift wages up. I came here tonight, Jimmy, to tell you and your audience that I'm running to be the next governor of California. His announcement adds another contender hoping to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom when his term ends next year. Swalwell is highlighting his national security experience and work on President Trump's first impeachment. No one will keep Californians safer than I will. No one. Nancy Pelosi selected me for the Intelligence Committee and to help lead the impeachment of a president. Californians will never bend the knee. Swalwell says he wants to reshape California's economy, saying the state should be a place where families can afford to work, live, and buy a home.

2:39:51 California is the fourth largest economy in the world. So should we be a state where you can take your first job, have your first kid, and buy your first home in the same decade? And one where you can fill that home with food and flood it with light? California just dumb enough to elect him. Yeah, he started off as one of the city council members of Danville. And he turned out to help wreck the city. Because he's just an idiot. I mean, he's dumb. And he looks dumb and he sounds dumb. And now he's just copying Mondami talking points. Oh, that's what he's doing. Of course, that makes sense. You notice that. Yeah, that makes sense. But here's the other guy running, and this got less attention, but this guy's probably a lunatic. This is Tom Steyer.

2:40:42 Wait, the billionaire Tom Steyer? Yeah. Didn't he try to run for president already? Yeah. Yeah. Alright. California will have a gubernatorial election next year and a billionaire has entered the race. Philanthropist and businessman Tom Steyer made the announcement on Wednesday. I'm Tom Steyer. I wanted to build a business here. Now it's worth billions of dollars. And I walked away from it because I wanted to give back to California. In 1986, Steyer founded Farallon Capital Management, a hedge fund in San Francisco. He ran for president in 2019. The Democratic climate activist joins the California race to replace Gavin Newsom as his term ends next year.

2:41:23 The 68-year-old says he promises to make companies pay their fair share and use that money to fund public schools, build homes that families can afford, and lower electric bills by 25% by ending utility monopolies. He also wants to ban corporate political action committee money from state elections. According to Steyer's campaign, he took on the tobacco industry to raise the cigarette tax. He also led a campaign to impeach President Trump during his first term. Prominent Democratic candidates in California's race include Congresswoman Katie Porter, Javier Becerra, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. Republican candidates include Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Hilton.

2:42:26 California voters will vote for a new governor in November 2026. A cavalcade of losers. Yep. Dynamite. Hello. Dynamite. Wow. It's gonna be whatever it is. You can still get out. You can still get out. Why? It's fun. No, you say that. Besides that I can report from here. You can't. Thank God. I mean that's the best part about our show is that I'm in Texas. Have a totally different positive view on life. Positive view all the stories you tell me they're gonna get the grids gonna go down One thing after another what are you talking about by the way? I've resisted it for a long time I think you and I might have to get into mesh tastic what mesh tastic? What's mesh tastic? Oh? Okay, well. I'll send you some links mesh tastic is a

Meshtastic Networking, Off-Grid Communication

The hosts discussed "Meshtastic," a 900 MHz mesh networking system that allows for encrypted, off-grid digital communication without traditional infrastructure. The technology uses low-power radio (LoRa) and can be connected to mobile devices or computers. They proposed building a "No Agenda" mesh network group as a modern alternative to CB radio, emphasizing its decentralized and private nature.

meshtastic· mesh network· radio· encryption· fediverse

2:43:18 It's a nine... It's not some sort of a sex cult, is it? I'm not... No. No. That's NXIVM. No, this is Mesh... Mesh-tastic. Wow. Sounds like... If you think about it, it sounds like a sex cult. If you think about it... No, Mesh... So we're hams. We're ham radio operators, although how much we operated lately. We still we have all kinds of gear license. We're licensed. Let's put it that way. I'm a general just want to say general your technician, but mesh tastic is I think it's 900 megahertz mesh networking and this has been going on for years and

2:43:59 And it's starting to get to the point where, you know, there's so many of these mesh-tastic devices and repeaters around that we could actually build our own little no agenda mesh network group, which I think would be something fun and worth trying. Are you in? You have to be licensed? No, no, no. So we're talking about the 2025 version of CB radio is what you're saying? Not really. It's Laura, so it's low-powered radio networks.

2:44:35 Yeah, okay. You actually connect your phone to it. The CPU is low-powered, I should mention. But it's all digital so you can actually communicate and send stuff with a mobile device. I would give you a reason to pull that thing out of the drawer from time to time. And so you can connect with people and you know, digitally... When you say that thing, are you talking about my ham rig? No, your phone in the drawer. Your phone in the drawer. Your phone. So this is a phone thing? Well, it's a digital network. It's, you know, remember back in the day... Remember. I'm trying.

2:45:18 Go ahead. I wish I had that phrase that Kara uses, down. I can't remember how it goes. What you do is, here's how you should have done it. Member, but go ahead. That's how okay. That's nice. I guess that would work. Yes. Do you know I blew it? I totally blew it I love that because I've swatched her do this and you pointed it out. I never noticed it. She just does it incessantly Yes, so you don't need your phone. You can connect you can connect to the computer. You can get devices. Just have a little keyboard keyboard on it the whole point is it's

An offshoot of the Fediverse, which is one of your major ideas. So before you know it, it'll be a bunch of Jew haters on this thing. So let's get into it, John. Come on, let's get into it, baby. That's exactly right. We do have a few people to thank, very few actually. This is ridiculously small list that Adam will take us through. Yes, and we start off with Dame Rita from Sparks, Nevada, 133.33. And I always have to kind of read her note because it's Dame Rita after all. She says, I TM John Adam, you're the best.

2:47:02 Thank you for your courage. Thank you very much, Dean Reader. We appreciate that. Next up, Ian Field with $100. Stephanie E. Howard from Ikesburg, Pennsylvania, $100.

It sounds right. It sounds like it should be. Is that a 73 gone wrong?

CHAPTER 36 / 39 Discussion

Associate Executive Producers, Jobs Karma

A final round of donations was acknowledged, including contributions from Concord, North Carolina, and Columbus, Ohio. A producer from Dearborn, Michigan, used his donation to "de-douche" a local figure, while others requested "Jobs Karma" for their ongoing employment searches. The segment highlighted the global reach of the show, with a Bitcoin donation arriving from a listener in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The hosts also promoted upcoming No Agenda meetups in Longview, Texas, and Spokane, Washington. Listeners were encouraged to visit the meetup website to find local "first responders" and build community connections.

CHAPTER 38 / 39 Discussion

Tip of the Day, Show Sign-Off

The final segment featured a "Tip of the Day" regarding Steve Gibson's "InControl" utility, which allows Windows users to permanently disable unwanted OS upgrades. The hosts also discussed their use of 11 Labs for voice synthesis and played several "AI slop" music mixes created by the community. The episode closed with a reminder of the show's "value for value" model and a sign-off from the Texas Hill Country and Silicon Valley.

2:56:08 It's like a party NoahJennerMeetups.com. We still have John's tip of the day coming. We've got a cavalcade of slop in the, not all AI by the way, in our end of show mixes, but first to complete how the sausage is made, we'd like to let you be a part of our process here as we pick our end of show ISO. I only have one and it's not a good one. So why don't you do your two first? No, do yours and I can follow up. Pull the plug. Told you. My God. Told you. Well.

2:56:52 Let me guess. It's actually, it would be good for something. Let me guess, you have some 11 labs ISOs? Well, here's what's funny this time. I've been moaning and groaning, somebody said, I don't see why you don't pay for it, you're always asking for money, you should be buying this. I said, no, they have a free version. So why, and I don't use it, but I, total of 10 seconds a week worth of use. So I'm not buying, paying 70 bucks a month or whatever you pay. And he's, Adam has a copy. But so I, no.

2:57:29 I'm not buying it unless I'm starting to use it more seriously. This is 10 seconds. I'm not paying 70 bucks for 10 seconds. I think there's a cheaper tier, like $29. Oh, that's still too much. Yeah. They have a free thing, which is I use, but they limit you because you're overusing your freeness. Oh yeah, all of 30 seconds a month. That's how it goes, baby. This stuff ain't free. So all of a sudden I get Spuds Oakley comes back somehow gets back on my list so I got to use him again. Oh you did? Okay, that's good. And so I have two clips with him. One is Winner. By golly, another Winner. Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that one. And the other one's Better. This show is better than sex.

2:58:18 No, we're doing the better than sex but first before we do anything it's time for John's tip of the day This was suggested by one of our producers and I thought it was a great idea. He said, well, I don't know, you know, the guy's always on Leo's show. Maybe you don't want to play. This is a Steve Gibson product from GRC. People should go there, GRC.com. But this is a thing called In Control. This is GRC.com slash In Control dot HTM. A man after my own heart. How long has this product been around? Since the mid 90s? Ever, forever. Yeah.

2:59:08 So this allows you to really turn off your upgrades. So it shows you if you look at, if you go to the site, you see. You mean your Windows upgrades is what you're talking about? Yeah, this is for Windows users. You Mac guys are out of luck and so is Linux, though it doesn't need this stuff. But yeah, you turn it off permanently so it doesn't keep pestering you. And it seems to work. It'll keep my thing, my thing's ludicrous because it tries to upgrade and then it says, I can't anyway, but it wastes time and money and it's gonna screw it up one of these days. So I would take a look at InControl and the funny thing is in the process we're looking for this, he had another product which is not the tip of the day but one I should mention and it's called, this is a really good one, this one's called Never 10.

3:00:02 And this is grc.com, never 10, number 10, the numerical 10, dot htm again. And this allows, if you're running an old Windows 8 or 7 or something like that. Wow, who's running that? Well, I'm sure there's somebody out there, and they already know about this I'm sure, because this basically kills any attempt to try to install Windows 10 on a Windows 7 or an 8.1 up system that keeps demanding to be upgraded. That may be too late for most people because it's already been done. The damage has been done, but I thought this was a funny idea for a product too. They should have, he should do Never 11, because all these systems, oh you gotta move it up. Here's what bugs me about 11.

3:00:53 I've said this before, like this one knuck I have, when Eleven first showed up, I said, well, you know, see if you can use it because they have to have this, some software on there or some hardware or chip or something that allows you to do some sort of security. And so you run it on an old system that's running Windows 10. It says, no, you can't upgrade, don't worry about it. You can't upgrade because you don't have the whatever chip it is or whatever system you got, subsystem. Yeah. So all of a sudden now everybody's got to upgrade to 11 system, so the whole thing was bogus. It's lies. These are lies. They're just lying, baby. Another Dynamite Tip of the Day from the guy who doesn't want to pay for my services. Go to tipoftheday.net.

3:01:46 Created fast for you and me Just a tip with JCB And sometimes, Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti. Yeah, I'm gonna start using that guy. That's Todd version 3 model. I'm gonna start using him. So I'm just, you know, I don't have to talk that much. It's a good voice. Yeah, so I won't have to talk that much. That'll be the day Hey coming up next on the knowage in the stream for those of you listening live we have just two good old boys Sir Gene and dude named Ben named Ben. It's always fun to listen to those guys. Also, we got our end of show mixes, some AI slop, some not. We've got MVP, we got Melody, Hey Citizen with an anti-AI ditty, and Bonald Crabtree, also known as Potty Mouth, in the chatroom, so yell at him there if you don't mind.

3:02:40 And we look forward to returning to you on Thursday. Remember, we do not conform to the ways of this world. We do this for you as a public service. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Fredericksburg, Texas. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're not going to take it anymore, I'm John C. DuBorac. Please remember us at noagendadonations.com. We can use the support to keep us going for another four more years. Until Thursday, adios mofos, ahooy, ahooy, and such!

CHAPTER 39 / 39 Discussion

End of Show Mixes, AI Slop Credits

The broadcast ended with a series of musical parodies and "AI slop" tracks, including a song about the friendship between Donald Trump and Zoran Mamdani. The lyrics touched on New York City culture, political restoration, and the recent White House meeting. The final audio clips featured a montage of AI-generated voices and community-submitted mixes before the definitive sign-off.

3:03:21 The bags are unpacked and the taxi has stopped The confetti is falling, the corks have popped From the Bronx to the Battery, hear the good news Donny T. is back and he's shaking the blues Now Mom Donny is grinning, the cache is poured The new best pals in history are fully restored They're strutting the sidewalks, they're sharing a slice That friendship is sugar and spice Through limo delays or a girl in the park They're laughing together from dawn until dark The city lights sparkle, the skyline looks grand Cause Donnie and Mom Donnie ruined The Epstein boxes were stacked like a precarious game of Tetris in Donnie's golden room But Mom Donnie wasn't having any of it

3:04:23 Let me guess... White House protesters voiced their opposition to the military aggression and the killings of at least 18 military off the coast of Venezuela. In Caracas, the Venezuelan president was engulfed by a sea of supporters and addressed the crowd hardly in English. The law of the good and peace. The peace of law of the good and peace. Peace of law of the good. The law...

3:05:39 The love and peace, the peace of love. Speaking of AI slob, I want everyone to be doing as much AI as possible. I want flood the internet. So let go of ancient media and come to their favorite show. Get some John Depp grooving to the music before the ending ISO. Since they curated our computer-generated producers, they'll come back for more. AI slop! Slopping all over the place. Boom! Slaves young and old who listen from the troll room, wondering what they should do. It's called AI slop. The mixes that they wanted are hit, maybe in a minute or two. AI slop. They begin to worry about the fate of E, turning their minds into good. Promoting good work. AI slop everywhere.

3:06:42 You never use your brain These songs are all the same A.I. slop A.I. slop A.I. slop again AI Slop, there it is. For artists out there, to create more AI Slop, is fulfilling my prayers which has been Slop. Um, so in general a lot of AI Slop and then uh, I didn't see much else. It was a show day, a slightly slow day. So I hopped inside my tron suit, jumped into the tron, blew my chance for some encrypted data. it through Hong Kong

3:07:30 Then, it's destination Crackpot put this in rotation Elastic lock, she lacks spare time Procrastination sucks and it should be a crime Not enough minutes to queue up in time Party mouth, paging, Podfather Curry Sorry that submission should have been sent early How many men did T pick? Show mix artificial dicks Brain rot slob there is no fix Welcome future now

3:08:54 The best podcast in the universe! Adios, mofo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. This show is better than sex.
