1831: Donroe Doctrine

I'm blowing a dime bag of potato chips. Yeah, finally something good happens that's not on a show day. That was good! I was well-timed Mr President

And, and right after the oil baron called it. Everybody picked up on that Hey man! Trump must be listening to you guys It might be That was hilarious No this is good everyone's checking in Hey what did the boys have to say about it? I have a ton too many...I've way too many clips on this Well you do I've gotten the uh... I caught it right at the beginning Luckily, because it was... I was working on the newsletter. and could have easily have missed it, because it took... It was fast. I think this is they grabbed the guy and make a lot of explosions light up the sky No no no! They didn't grab him they captured him words matter captured kidnapped extracted is the way I saw but we'll get to that you know? I was thinking the same word I was gonna bring it up hopefully you beat me to it which is Was it an extraction? I think so

There's a lot of things to this. And the reason why I say extraction, and if you saw there was some video that I caught of him Maduro being walked down some hallway in New York and he's like hey everybody happy new year now Of course it could have been AI who knows but it looked authentic and I'm thinking He's gonna spill the goods on Smartmatic and Dominion You know, that would certainly get him a better deal. Yeah and he can prove the 2020 election was rigged. Boom! He's good to go That's what I thought would be an interesting one but the thing that really bothered me about all of this is our pre... even Marco Rubio when you've gone through your clips i have some of this stuff from The Morning Show from this morning from Stephanopoulos and Manhans Welker with Rubio

Who is good? I mean Rubio's just, he is very good when it comes to talking. He's amazingly slick! He is very slick but... Well he's another one of these a performer, he was you know a dancer. Yeah, yeah, a dancer! Yes. He's another tiny dancer The thing that bothers me is that no one ever explains the simple history And I'm going to give you a little audible, a spoken word history from like 1990. It doesn't take very long because when it comes to what this really was about and I'm pretty sure we can both agree that there's a lot of North Sea Nexus stuff that's in here. What are the British banking connections? You know what are the real drug flows all of that is going to be interesting. The smartmatic software Dominion voting machines and yes the oil

And the president just, I don't know why he'd...I mean he could do it. He could just explain how they stole our oil but instead he just says this We're going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe proper and judicious transitions. We're going to have our very large United States Oil companies The biggest anywhere in the world Go and spend billions of dollars fix the badly broken infrastructure the oil infrastructure and start making money for the country. We built Venezuela oil industry with American talent, drive and skill And the socialist regime stole it from us during those previous administrations And they stole it through force This constituted one of the largest thefts in American property in our history Absolutely true But no one explains it

Rubio doesn't explain it. Hegseth can't explain it, he's just going F around and find out! Am I right first? Yeah! Okay... We like that. They got all the ladies, oh yeah he's a tough guy! The news media won't tell you of course so let me just give it a quick brief rundown interject if you hear I said anything wrong but i think its because this goes back to 1976 but we stay in 1990 actually before it goes way back into 45 47 or something goes way back But in 1990 US oil companies Chevron ConocoPhilips and ExxonMobil, they decided we're going to invest in production... In extraction. Production of this... I mean, I've seen video of this really thick tar-like oil which is just goo man! It's classic Brent. It's goo.

Yeah, and all the stuff that comes out of the ocean typically looks like that. And it was a really big risk at the time oil prices were around 40-50 dollars they varied one year to the other but on average so Venezuela set up PDVSA and they signed the contracts with these three big companies with massive investment in the Orinoco belt and the deal was pretty simple Venezuela has 100% ownership over the oil, but we do a 60-40 split. So American companies get 60%, and Venezuela gets 40%. And then they put up the billions of dollars to set it all up. Everybody was happy! Especially in 2000, oil prices start rising. It's at $100...and then Chavez, the predecessor to Maduro, he declares the Bolivarian Revolution

And hey, everybody we're super socialist now. We're going to give you everything for free." Sound like Mondami? It's going to be fantastic is groovy 201 2001 they implemented new laws and PDVSA is now control of operations They kicked out the US management in 2002 this is the Venezuelan petroleum company The employees actually protested and went on strike that said you can't do this Companies that refused, there was only one really I think Chevron had all their assets frozen everything was taken over and then oil revenues collapsed by 75% because no one knew how to operate this stuff. Chavez broke the strike fired 18 thousand engineers and rig workers and he changed the split 70 percent for us

30% like around a little some say, a little less like 28%, but I'm 30% for the US companies. But we're also doubling the royalties so you got to pay us 30% royalties and there's a 50% tax rate on everything you make." So they were losing money! 2007 Chavez seizes all the oil assets. These companies could only file lawsuits and they went to international courts, and they eventually won after five years but they got about a billion dollars each so it was no good everyone lost their shirts on it then the PDVSA oil company becomes bloated, mismanaged, rife with corruption. Production has now fallen to less than 25%. 2013 Chavez dies in comes Maduro a literal bus driver who had worked his way through the system and because he was Chavez's handpick yeah but the guy was a bus driver so these social programs

They're not doing so well with this lower revenue, so they start printing money. Ultimately – this number over time was mind-blowing to me – 1.3 million percent inflation of the Bolivar So Maduro, of course, you know be like well I got a diversified let's get some drug money in there. Now in 2002 and so the price is bad news for Maduro because oil just went down in the tank when he came in it was like perfect a perfect storm. 2002 Exxon Mobil scores big and Guyana right next door this no one's mentioning this really

2023 Maduro says Esquibo region that's actually ours and moves troops to the border. And in 2025 just as Trump gets in he's ratcheting up the heat, He is like we're taking over this is Venezuelan territory and you know so we didn't really cover much of this But it was happening. And so, of course Trump's like no you're not gonna... You already stole the first batch you're not going to steal anymore and that's really what it is because we need it I think isn't diesel made from this stuff? Is this the kind of stuff they make diesel out of? No, you can make diesel from anything but is it cheaper to make it from this Not really It's a tough product of any special refining to work this stuff For one thing you need cracking

Cracking? Yeah, you need to crack it. Because normally with regular crude you can just run it through a... especially if it's super light, you can run it through distillate. You distill it and you get all the different cuts and the cuts are gasoline and diesel and kerosene and all of that. But it is quite a process? To get them heavy duty stuff busted up so you can distill it, you don't distill it heavy, you run it through a cracker which is a big giant catalytic, usually catalytic cracking and you run this stuff through platinum and a bunch of other things in it and it busts it up into a liquid that's a little more refinable. And that's the expensive part, not that anyone cares but that's pretty much it. So meanwhile what's been happening is

China and Russia, they're all getting oil from there. They're all making it was hilarious to see the Chinese delegation just hours before they capture Maduro. And the Chinese are like alright we're out of here! We got nothing to do with this! You know people pointed out that this was like... The Chinese always they do this constantly. They don't want to get involved in a couple hell breaks loose. No! And and they gave you a number of examples of this but the one they keep forgetting which we bring up on the show is the one in Libya where they had this whole area, they were building up these big buildings and everything. They just took off. Bye! We don't want to... And they're very non-confrontational Chinese so now I will say January 3rd this actually comes from our...I have a new contact

Former five, former six not sure yet. She's a producer she listens I think she's...I know she's a spook but i'm not sure if she is MI5 or MI6 and I believe she's retired. She said coincidentally January 3rd is significant 36 years ago, Noriega surrendered to US forces after hiding in the Vatican Embassy. Flown to Miami on drugs charges same date January 3rd Trump's like significant dates So I thought that was an interesting observation also Just earlier and see when did this happen? I think it happened December 1st

A US judge authorized the sale of shares in Venezuela-owned parent company of Sitco Petroleum to Elliott Investment Management for $5.9 billion dollars, this is... what's that guys name? He was a big Trump donor who's the... I forget his name now. When did this deal go through? This happened December 1st Elliott investment man, let me just check I had it written down here somewhere. It's when I say the name you go Oh yeah that guy Who we are here we go what's this guy's name Paul Singer there you go

Paul Singer, big Trump donor. He clearly knew something well I mean it was a court case so maybe they waited for it? I don't know they said that they had this ready for five or six weeks but maybe they waited for that to be cleared up just in case but I think the next And we'll get into your clips now. I think then and whenever you want me to play some stuff from the morning shows, I know... Well i'm gonna have you play something right now since you just mentioned Paul Singer but but I don't want you to finish yet in other words you got more to say But because you played Paul Singer, play this Pauly Market clip Polly Market.

$30,000 that Maduro was gonna no longer be the president of Venezuela and then overnight the US captures him and this user comes up on a fat four hundred thousand dollars What are the odds now because of the stock act in 2012 elected officials do have to report their stock trading activities? But poly market is a big thing loophole. Under the Stock Act, elected officials have to report stocks bonds ETFs and even crypto assets but because PolyMarkets a predictive betting app well it falls into a gray zone 2026 goes I'd say keep your eye on Polymarket for any insider trading versus the stock market who do you think made this bet as always

As always, let me know down below. Why are you yelling at me? Is that a news clip or is that a TikTok thing? It was on Twitter but this girl follows the stuff and yeah it was a prop bet! Well I think we need to pay attention to Trump's dates that goes back to our MI6 lady January 3rd Trump likes special dates. By the way I liked her maybe it was her I don't know Well, she brings it up for a reason. I mean why is she telling me this? You know... She likes the show and we're also fed information for the purposes of bringing it up on this show. She loves this show! I think she's actually a dame to be honest about that. I won't say who she is but I'm pretty sure she's a dame

It's not that we're not fed, you know. We're not read in it...we should make mention to people that were at work we do amateur work. We're not read in. No agenda show! WE'RE AMATEURS! Which is not a bad thing. We are not read-in. But we can deconstruct. Oh yeah, oh we ARE fed yes Yeah. So now, but we know we're fed so don't worry about it if we're fed, fed slop. So the next 96 hours of course are going to be crucial and then I have clips for later about what they're saying and who's running it what's really gonna happen because you know I'm sure it appears that the Venezuelans are very happy ding dong The Witch is dead but they're hungry And here's the interesting thing that I stumbled upon

So the US dollar basically is the currency in Venezuela. People are using it because the boulevard is, you know, Weimar Republic status at this point. Yeah, it's junk. But... I thought they actually had switched to something called a real. Well everything I found is that people are just using U.S. dollar bills 10s, 20s singles fives. Yeah well if you had the opportunity that's what you do but they actually starting in COVID days there was a pilot by USDC that's a stablecoin via the Treasury and the State Department

For the Heroes of Health program, they bypassed Maduro's regime banking system to send millions of dollars. I think it was six or seven million dollars directly to the digital wallets of 60 thousand doctors and nurses who were using the system and i'm thinking this might be a great moment to launch the stablecoin So it's been launched. Well, but the stablecoin gambit... I don't think it has really been launched that way with the Treasury or with the government endorsement and selling new treasury bonds short-term bonds against it And if anything so the rails are kind of in place you're right But it just may be an airdrop Hey Venezuela we're going to air drop some tokens! I know it feels like a perfect storm

So you've got analysis all kinds of stuff from from the days leading up to today's show which let's be honest was one mostly came from yesterday One day one day so hit it and then whenever you're ready I'll jump in with some of the morning shows. Yeah, they I think you definitely have The morning stuff is gonna be good Let's start with a overview by going to Maduro grab on PBS Okay There are moments in time when history possibly pivots. And today, in a stunning act of regime change... Regime change! ...the US military captured and brought Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to US soil. Not long after that, in a remarkable declaration, President Trump announced the U.S would quote run Venezuela and warned of a new era of United States domination over Latin America

We will get an on-the ground report from Venezuela's capital, Caracas in a moment. But we begin our coverage with Nick Schifrin. It was just after midnight over Caracas when U.S. helicopters with Delta Force soldiers descended toward Nicolas Maduro's compound Nearby residents filmed and cowered from US strikes on at least four locations. All part of the mission to capture and extract Maduro by 2 a.m local they had him. Whoa, whoa! Did you hear that? So first they used the bogus regime change, but then... All part of a mission to capture and extract Maduro. Extract? They use the E word. The mission to capture and extract Maduro by 2am local they had him And by 3 am he was shackled aboard USS Iwo Jima The dictator turned detainee Of the US Department of Justice

U.S. military officials said US helicopters took fire as they left Venezuela, but remained able to fly. A source familiar tells PBS NewsHour a small CIA team arrived in August and created extraordinary insight into Maduro's pattern of life that made grabbing him seamless. So first of all kudos for the Nat Pops on PBS well done and this was a nat pop extravaganza It was just perfect. Even the president was saying, I watched it on TV it was like a like a tv show! Was great! Was awesome! I think you'll never see it but I saw it and it was good And um... What was at the very end of that clip? What did he say right here? Our small CIA team Oh yeah The CIA guys from what I understand they had infiltrated Maduro's inner circle Yeah thats the only way they could figure out where he was So

Interesting that the CIA might be cooperating now these days? I think the whole thing is a CIA deal. Oh, most of it has to be and i think...I suggested in the last show that there was a cooperation going on Well they've been living in the region for 50 years They never left! None of that but the CIA has always been some of their superior work has been in South America Air quotes superior work Well, it depends on what you mean by superior. It depends on where you are yes exactly. But the Guatemala stories where they pretended there was a... You know they somehow got hold of the media and convinced everybody that their soldiers or forces were coming in nobody was showing up but they abandoned them Good job! Good job spooks In this case

They, yeah they did. I think and I think they're at work and it comes out in some of these clips that they're at work doing some other stuff And i'm now thinking they are at work... I'll bring it up later into talking because I got a nasty note from somebody A Canadian Well hello! Yeah well he did complain about our Alberta Oh interesting So I think the CIA may be in Alberta. And they're probably in Greenland! Well, there's not much to do in Greenland... Hang out fish? Tell people to let the Americans buy them?!

It's just a thought. I'm sure there is nobody, maybe... There is one or two. Okay, we're to part 2 This was one of the most stunning effective and powerful displays of American military might and competence In Palm Beach today after he and his team watched the operation unfold overnight President Trump announced that the operation was not only about regime change We are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition. President Trump said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had spoken to Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez who was sworn in to replace Maduro She had a long conversation with Marco and she said We'll do whatever you need I think she was quite gracious but...she really doesn't have a choice But at least publicly today Rodriguez rejected that La inmediata liberación

We demand the immediate release of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Celia Flores. The only president of Venezuela is President Nicolás Maduro. Nah, time for the thumbscrews! She's not... that doesn't sound like she's cooperating Well you don't know that this wasn't a setup to deal so she can keep the people in line around her Possibly Because she can't because she's surrounded by a bunch of stooges That would shoot her torturers and all kinds of bad actors that Maduro has accumulated as part of his drug cartel. And so she has to play bad girl, at least in front

audience so I take all this with a grain of salt one way or the other. I love the trolls she's Sephardic as well okay yeah, I'm sorry forgot to mention that Netanyahu ordered this strike yes we forgot to forget to mention Israel behind this. Straight up trolls that's it and that's exactly what is going on If the best analysis you can do is everything's a juice, you might as well just... What was the point of even listening to our show? Well, just doing it to do it. What else? You know when you're a hammer everything looks like a nail On to the final clip. And President Trump made clear part of the plan was to take Venezuela's oil, The country has the world's largest oil reserves which the U.S helped develop exactly one century ago. But former leader Hugo Chavez kicked out some US and other foreign energy companies and today the industry produces a fraction of its capacity We're going to be replacing it and we're going to take a lot of money out so that we can take care of the country

But the president made clear today was not only about Venezuela. This was about displaying an ability and willingness to enforce regional domination, and embracing the early 19th century declaration by President Monroe to block foreign colonialism in the Americas They now call it the down road document, I don't know. Under our new national security strategy American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again. Rubio made clear the next possible target Yeah look if i lived in Havana and I was in the government I'd be concerned And to critics who question whether a president who is elected in part to avoid foreign entanglements Why is running a country of South America America first?

Well, I think it is because we want to surround ourselves with good neighbors. We want to surround ourselves with stability and we want to surround ourselves with energy. We have tremendous energy in that country. Regime change not for democracy but for energy and its own sake as the question tonight in Caracas and perhaps around the world now what? Well, let's just address this for one second. The oil baron who is 60% gas 40% oil he says this is not good for us He says the oil is going to drop even further which surprise surprise is good for America

Because that lowers prices on everything, in theory. I mean, I don't think grocery prices actually ever go lower ever but they could. They fluctuate enough so that it's noticeable This might be a good time to just bring in one clip from Manhans Welker on Meet the Press with Marjorie Taylor Greene about the America First question I think it's a perfect time. President Trump says he gets to decide what America first means, does America first mean whatever president- Wait wait stop! When did he ever say that? Did Trump come out and say- No! I don't think he said that

Well, she just claimed that he did. You mean to say she falsely claimed? She falsely... you're right! You are exactly correct. I meant to say she falsely claimed Yes In fact, she played that very clip And that's her extrapolation by saying, well the President Trump says he gets this tells us he gets to say what America first means. But we know that that this is America and the Don Roe doctrine they call it... You know Don Roe doctrines hilarious! ...and he made it up himself I didn't hear anyone else say until he said it you know they they say it's the Don Roe doctrine I don't know I don't know but I agree I made it up. I agree, that's totally his creation

That's how he does it. He loves alliteration, he is my guy! Alright so HE determines what America First is Let's hear Marjorie Taylor Greene who was there with her big doughy eyes All happy to be on Meet the Press President Trump says he gets to decide what America First means Does America first mean whatever president trump says it does? What a loaded question. This is like, this is disgusting. Yeah well it but it also shows you Marjorie Taylor Greene who I think as a nice lady but she's dumb she doesn't even see beyond You know, she doesn't see the implications of what this really can mean for America. She's not a dimensional thinker yes. Yeah. You know America first should mean what was promised on the campaign. Well you won't be able to hear it if your doing... I'm sorry I've only had to make that sound once

You can do it again if you want. So my understanding of America First is strictly for the American people, not for the big donors that donate to big politicians? Yeah well first of all, The oil company she sees that as big donors and I guess they don't employ Americans...I guess its not part of the American economy She just doesn't see it that way. She wants grocery prices lower and rents lower, which yes but you can't just wave your magic wand. Not for the special interests that constantly roam the halls of... Well the silver guy of course he's and

the poly market guy. You know, they won big Washington and not foreign countries that demand their priorities put first over Americans America First actually means for the American people and the American people have been put last consistently decades and decades by both political parties for far too long my kids generation My kids are 22 26 28 are looking at a future where this whole entire generation doesn't think they'll ever see a Social Security check. They don't believe they will ever be able to afford to own their own home and 50-year mortgages are really a slap in the face, it's insulting Americans do not want $2,000 stimulus checks as a payoff They want good policies brought forth for them because you wanna know something Kristen? They voted for this administration

And their small dollar donation should matter. And MAGA has its own enemy list and the enemies of the worlds are not on their enemy list, and they're tired of being ignored." You're right she's not a multi-dimensional thinker...and I have three daughters 29 30 & 35 And yes, they see it as rather dim but they're not afraid of this. They're not even thinking of Social Security checks and now here's the difference. The 29- and 30-year old they can actually afford rent. Now, they are not anywhere in house buying mood and that's unfortunate but I think what we'll see coming this year is the president is going to do something with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. That rumor has been out there for a long time that may change things

Rents may actually go down which will also lower house prices as we've removed the incentives for illegal immigrants to be paid bought and paid for by states and other yeah, that's yeah other criminal subsidies but the one who's 35 in Rotterdam is She literally, you know she cannot find a two-bedroom apartment for the simple reason that the rule now is and you know she basically would be in social housing which is up to like 2,000 euros a month but in order to get that she can pay it but you have to show that you earn five times the monthly rent

Well, no. She doesn't make a hundred thousand euros a year and so that whole... Europe is really not Europe first America is still doable This by the way is the biggest complaint I got from my little rant on the Zoomers versus Boomers Yeah but we can buy a house! Well no you got jacked absolutely My dad bought a house for $20,000 in 1990 Yeah, but his... What was his monthly payment at 19% interest? So yeah it's not great. But I think that the president does have some plans to change that. Your chronology is off the pick today! What do you mean? Well their high interest rate in late really peaked and ended around 1980 not 1990 by 1990 the interest rates are way down 12 percent

I had a 12% mortgage in 1998. Well, you got gypped! There it is with the balloon payment! With the balloon payment yeah so yes that's a problem but Marjorie Taylor Greene makes it sound like oh it's the end of the world for everybody... You know? Easy does it It's not great, but you know hardships every generation has its hardships. And I think the president has some plans for that anyway maybe could i just play a couple Rubio clips from this morning because it addresses these things and then we'll get back to your clip so do you want to play another series? Why don't you play the Rubio clips first and that gives me a better feeling of what clips I should go with okay because I have way too many Me too

I thought that Manhans Welker was better, because she's a straight talker man. She sits down and asks the tough questions right away. Are we at war? Thank you so much for being here! I want to start with this big picture question... Is the United States now at war with Venezuela? There is not a war. We are a war against drug trafficking organizations and not a war against Venezuela We are enforcing American laws with regards to oil sanctions. We have sanctioned entities, we go to court and get a warrant and seize those boats with oil And that will continue So the clear...and we would continue to reserve the right to take strikes against drug boats that are bringing drugs towards the United States That are being operated by transnational criminal organizations including the cartel de los soles

Of course their leader, the leader of that cartel is now in US custody and facing a US justice in the Southern District of New York. And that's Nicolas Maduro so we made big progress on that regard. By the way thank you Alberto Guru who says can't afford a house but drives an $80,000 four-wheel truck spends five hundred dollars a month on cell plants internet streaming door dash partying drugs etc yeah there's that Yeah, there's that. So who is going to be running the country? Come on Marco! Mr Secretary who is in charge are you running Venezuela right now yeah I mean I keep people fixating on that here's the bottom line on it we expect to see changes by the way this question has never answered by anybody and its because the president said were runnin' it

Yeah, Marco and Pete and everyone they'll be taking care of things that that's why this question is a problem And goes unanswered in every interview we expect I don't understand why they let it go on answered well He's here's his answer You know, fixating on that. Here's the bottom line on it is we expect to see changes in Venezuela. Changes of all kinds long term short term We'd love to see all kinds of changes but the most immediate changes are the ones that are in the national interest of the United States That's why were involved here because how it applies and has a direct impact on the United States Okay, we are not going to be able to allow in our hemisphere a country that becomes a crossroads for the activities of all of our adversaries around the world. We just can't allow it. We can't have a country where people in charge of its military and in charge of its police department are openly cooperating with drug trafficking organizations. We're not gonna allow that. These things are direct threats to the United States and we intend to use every element of leverage that we have to ensure that changes

The one I would point everyone to is that our military is helping the Coast Guard conduct a law enforcement function, which is not just the capture of Maduro but the enforcement of our sanctions. We go to court we get a warrant and seize the boats and we think this tremendous leverage incredible crippling leverage which we intend to continue to use until we see the changes that we need to see that are benefit to the American people by the way we believe for the people of Venezuela as well It doesn't really answer it. Not at all! No, um... Now of course this was a good question and good answer so why aren't you working with Machado? President Trump said the administration is working with Maduro's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez

Why does the administration oppose working with the opposition leader Maria Corina Machado? She's a Nobel Peace Prize winner, of course. Oh well she should run the country! Her coalition has the support of 70%... But she did win Yeah no she did win but you know I just like when you say oh she's a Nobel Peace Prize winner Well i am a podcast Hall-of-Fame awardee I should be running the country ...Venezuelans why not work with her Well, a couple things. First of all Maria Karina Machado is fantastic and she's someone I've known for very long time and the whole movement is but here we are dealing with the immediate reality. The immediate reality is that unfortunately and sadly but unfortunately

A vast majority of the opposition is no longer present inside of Venezuela. We have short-term things that have to be addressed right away we all wish to see a bright future for Venezuela, transition to democracy all these things are great and we all want to see that I've worked on that for 15 years on a personal level both in the Senate and now as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State these are things i still care about we still care about but what were talking about is what happens over the next two three weeks to three months and how that ties to the national interest of the United States. And so we expect to see more compliance and cooperation than we were previously receiving with Nicolas Maduro, you could not make a deal or an arrangement although he by the way was given very generous offers He could have left Venezuela as recently as week-and-a-half ago There are opportunities available for him

to avoid all of this because he's not someone we can work with. He suckered the Biden administration into stupid deals, he has made a career out of not keeping deals and figuring out how to save himself by buying time and President Trump was not going to fall into that trap It's interesting that I guess no one really believed the National Security Strategy document because it was clearly spelled out. Well, I have a clip about...one of the analysis clips talks just about that specifically. Let's do that and let's see your clips. Yeah this is Maduro. This is CNN nationalists at NSS

Oh wait, it's this one. Maduro CNN brings in an SS as a two-parter Again back to Jim Schuder our chief national security analyst What do you see in all of this at this stunning moment? Well Sarah remember when this administration released its new national security strategy just a couple of weeks ago and folks were reading it and wondering is this a serious document does it indicate a major shift in US foreign policy or is it largely political, who had a hand at it etc. I was just reading through some of the language and... For the first time? One of the clear headlines was In general terms threats in our own hemisphere The western hemisphere Wow they're just now figuring out that's what its said Oh yeah you know like I went back and did some research on CNN everybody than those elsewhere whether that be Europe

read that as Ukraine, the war in Ukraine or Asia. Perhaps read that as Taiwan. That threats here involve not just regimes and governments that this administration views as their adversaries such as Nicolas Maduro but also problems they view at top of their list drug trafficking migration flows etc Here we see the that document was quite serious right Sarah that that shift is a little laugh tale in there And here we see the that document was quite serious, right? That's right is playing out before our eyes doesn't mean that the u.s Withdrawals from from Europe or Asia But it is certainly more aggressive in its own backyard and then you begin to think hmm beyond this

project underway, the Venezuela Project. The US running the country and we're about to see as you say the leader of the country walk off that plane perhaps in handcuffs and a blindfold or is what does it mean for the Cuban regime which is also an adversary of the Trump administration? Or even was little different because Greenland is run by an ally but Greenland is a place that President Trump has said that's in our backyard I want it yeah Hello get a clue. I'll play clip well, I'm Throwing Alberta Canada into the night like that. I don't have any clips about it But I like it well there's the thing about is like

We're talking about our hemisphere, our backyard. And if we really look at this as a subterfuge for grabbing oil you got Alberta over there sitting there with his... Same thing they're not producing anything because the Canadian government won't let them so let's go stir up some shit get him to go independent and we've got it made then have the CIA do that now of course the guy who wrote the nasty note and mentioned, well you know Mark Carney is Canadian. Okay let's get this straight. Mark Carney was born in Canada. He was educated at Harvard and Oxford so he's like the central banker's central banker basically. First he was a central banker in Canada then he went to the UK became a central banker then became a U.K. citizen but dual citizen then he also got some Irish

connection with some crazy Irish that are also kind of nexus types. And let's be honest, there are a lot of Irish running a lot of things! So he is a triple citizen and then when he became the Prime Minister of Canada, he rebuked the other two citizenships that or says he did we don't know for sure and so okay he is Canadian but he doesn't like United States or he is part of some banking combine...we don't know But the point is this guy was telling, and he's just a very nasty note. Wow you're really upset by this welcome to the club No I'm not upset at all but what it did we brought to The Four This thing of this Alberta thing because it was like We were full of crap about this Alberta thing And I was reminding me if you can remember this far back This has to be 15 years ago when we first grabbed on to Farage

Yeah, somebody wrote in this for you guys are often the deep end here and Faraj is no good. He's just a clown He's never gonna amount to anything. You'll never hear from him again. You guys are embarrassing yourselves Was it the same guy? It could have been. It probably was the same guy so this guy saying which is so he says this about Alberta and I'm thinking wait a minute because when you start listening to these clips about what the CIA's up too They could easily be in Alberta causing, you know... Handing out donuts. You want a nonstop supply of these every single day Albertans? But the thing is from what the clips I've seen the Albertans they're like yeah we'd kind of like to be part of America that's the way it seems to me Yeah I mean that could be the long-term goal I personally think they should be an independent country they can probably pull that off Like Puerto Rico

kind of a protectorate. Puerto Rico is part of the United States? Yeah, but it's not a state because they could be a protectorate Oh that that's an interesting I never even thought about you get a passport You get your doughnuts Get your flag It's your MAGA hat good to go welcome aboard Interesting idea That might actually work I clipped you on the NSS. How far is the US willing to go now to change the leadership and control of other places and countries in our hemisphere? So that, you know... Ah! Alberta!

Wasn't just an empty document apparently because of what we're seeing on that tarmac in Newburgh, New York right now Well allow me now to play a clip from Rubio where this question came up about Cuba is the Cuban government The Trump administration's next target. Mr.. Secretary well the Cuban government is a huge problem Yeah, the human government is a huge problem first so is that a yes? But I don't think oh yeah Christian They always want yes or no questions. Is that a yes? Are we going to take over Cuba? are the ones that were propping up Maduro. His entire internal security force, his internal security apparatus is entirely controlled by Cubans. One of the untold stories here is how in essence you talk about colonization because I think you said Dulce Rodriguez mentioned that The one who was sort of colonized at least inside the regime are Cubans It was Cubans that guarded Maduro He wasn't guarded by Venezuelan bodyguards he had Cuban bodyguards In terms of their internal intelligence who spies on who's inside to make sure there're no traitors those are all Cubans

That was interesting. Yeah, the whole country's filled with a bunch of aliens Cubans and Hezbollah and all these other groups But it is interesting that Cuba was basically the intelligence apparatus for Maduro They didn't do a very good job but who runs Cuba I always thought that was Russia don't they? Don't they still park their boats over there? Russia has kind of backed away Well you know the story now that's out There is Trump did a deal Putin gets Ukraine and we take Venezuela. They got a deal! Sounds a little simple-minded, but yeah...

So let's go to this analysis, we'll do an analysis on... because Machado was brought into the conversation. Here is Maduro CNN analysis on Machado that the Nobel Peace Prize winner who actually should have been president of Venezuela. What are you learning? I've been speaking to the Venezuelan opposition about their reaction to this. Who is this? Who spoke with the opposition who, according to Rubio... It was one of the spooks that comes in and does analysis for CNN. But Rubio said they're gone! They're all out of the country

Yeah, most of them. Well okay so that you talk to... No they're in the country too but if you know but they're not in plain sight. Okay yes and I'm told that the opposition leader Machado has been in touch with governments across the world following this operation that includes the government of France President Emmanuel Macron but also and this is crucial governments in Latin America Argentina Ecuador Panama Paraguay who, I'm told have shared with the Venezuelan opposition their shared desire in quote restoring the will of the people. I think this is important Sarah because here is the opposition saying that they are getting support from other countries for the oppositions role

in the future of Venezuela post-Maduro. And that's, of course crucial Sarah because as you and I were speaking earlier President Trump in his comments from Florida earlier today seemed to leave that question open right? He said the US will be running the country He raised some questions about the degree of support that Machado has in the country of Venezuela, which is crucial given that it is the wide view of observers of the most recent election that Machado actually won and not Maduro. That would give presumably—and certainly in the eyes of many countries around the world—legitimacy to her claims to leadership at any sort of post-Maduro government but the opposition saying here

in touch with governments around the world and getting that kind of support, right? As I said there for restoring the will of people in the country of Venezuela. But at this point... Remains very much an open question as to what the process will be To decide who leads the country next and where the u.s Will be in that process who will it support right does that include the opposition? He's saying a lot of right because doesn't know what he's talking about no, he's just rambling but but Trump did had nothing you know he didn't say much about Machado being taking over And then he said that she doesn't have much support and I think what he's referring to is the fact that they dropped her into the government. They just shoot her because she doesn't have any support from the goons that are really still at the top of the pyramid You know, what's interesting by omission In this whole story where's JD Vance? He's nowhere

He's doing dances, he gained a lot of weight. He has long hair now. Have you seen these? Fat JD! Fat JD is floating around on the net. I'm waiting for Besant. Scott Besant has to do this. Money has to come in somehow and they must... This looks like Rubio's op. Well, he has to have a plan because You know, there's still drug cartels, drug lines, money laundering. All of that is still in place so they've got to be... They've got to have some kind of plan for this because I'm pretty sure you take 96 hours and if people aren't seeing some bread they're going to go nuts

Yeah, well maybe that's what they want them to do. So there was all this discussion about Machado and so I luckily caught Sky News is the only group that actually put her on the air! Oh wow okay let's listen to that... And so i have a clip of her talking of a character in the ether. This is Machado on Sky News explaining whatever she's explaining. Some people talk about invasion in Venezuela, and the threat of an invasion in Venezuela, and I answered Venezuela has been already invaded We have the Russian agents, we have the Iranian agents. We have terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas operating freely in accordance with a regime. We have the Colombian guerrilla, the drug cartels that have taken over 60% of our populations and not only involving drug trafficking but in human trafficking, in networks of prostitution so this has turned Venezuela into the criminal hub of the Americas

And what sustained the regime is a very powerful and funded, strongly funded repression system. Where does that funds come from? Well from drug trafficking, from the black market of oil, from arms trafficking for human trafficking we need to cut those flows and once it happens and repression is weakened It's over, because that is the only thing the regime has left – violence and terror. So we ask the international community to cut those sources. Because the other regimes that support Maduro and the criminal structure are very active, and have turned Venezuela into a safe haven for their operations into the rest of Latin America. Yeah I'm pretty sure we've got CIA all over the place We've got OFAC... is that it? The OFAC? The Office Of...

financial affairs, they've got to be looking at everything right. And I just want to say that there's such a simpleton idea out there it's in the troll room too you know, It's about the oil man! They're supposed steal the oil! Well first of all that is in fact our oil refineries we just talked about that That was stolen all these weak presidents did nothing about it And yeah, that's American sovereignty. That's our stuff we had a deal. You know? Yeah, we had a deal! So yes it's about the oil and we will sell the oil to everybody who wants it but that money flow going into this these corrupt networks I think the North Sea Nexus has got to be somewhat worried at this point like whoops are they tracking us do they know where its...I mean they probably got lazy over throughout the years

Oh, absolutely. There's no question about it that's what happens with everybody is what you do but it's so get lazy oh you know It's so strange to see people with so simple-minded I mean even people I like from the UK it's like why pay for the oil when you can just steal it hashtag bullies That's a good one. Hashtag bullies! A friend of ours knows the plastic surgeon who was on vacation on some Caribbean island, you know Ufi or Ifi I don't know what it is and he was like oh great now i can't fly home because of Trump's private war It's like the ignorance of people

non-informed, just not even... you can even get some of this from Wikipedia. It's not that hard but people just take spoon fed crap from TikTok and Instagram reels and X put a bikini on it and like oh I'm good to go! I know what's happening Trump he's no good his oil just wants the oil It's disappointing is what it is. Our education system has failed us! This has been your lament for 18 years? Yeah, probably right... Then this was kind of funny the protest groups they sent them all out into the streets with freshly printed signs right away alright everybody we got new signs help us hammer them onto the sticks

The signs are all, the party for socialism and liberation. I got one clip. I have one too after you're done. I have Chicago what do you had yet would you have Chicago? Baltimore okay here's Chicago Cold temperatures did not deter a strong show of support at Federal Plaza in the loop on Saturday. As demonstrators took a loud, invisible stand against U.S intervention. And by the way every single person you're going to hear is white has nose ring as red beanie on and is holding a socialism, that pre-printed sign. In Venezuela the violence that we saw last night was completely ruthless and we cannot allow this kind of violence from our government. Several local Chicago groups issued an urgent call for an emergency protest following a controversial operation that led to the detention of Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro and his wife with Trump asserting that the US government would step in to run the country

President Trump claims Venezuela's oil has funded drug trafficking and other crimes using this as justification for intervention. It doesn't matter who does or doesn't support Maduro, it is completely outrageous and against international law for the US to attack him. Where was your protest when they nationalized our oil companies? Where was your international law then, you twerp?" "...try to unseat him." You can say that the Venezuelan government hasn't been great and I'd argue that's probably true. But I would also say that going into another useless war abducting someone seems morally... unquestionably wrong

The protests spilled into the streets as demonstrators voiced opposition to foreign military intervention, defended Venezuelan independence and blasted what organizers described as an illegal and dangerous escalation. Yeah all right I guarantee you there's a smartmatic angle to this guy looks happy He was like, oh God I'm safe. Take my wife too please please please okay we'll bring her too and the kid they got the son yeah they captured a son as well yes absolutely it's Trump is no dummy he knows what he's doing it's gonna be fun to watch all right Baltimore.

I said, I'm sorry. Oh it's okay apology accepted. Demonstration? You should say my bad I'm never saying that. Demonstrations in Maryland today as residents and lawmakers rallied against the U.S. military operation Scott Macione from Member Station WYPR has more After the Trump administration's surprise attack in Venezuela, protesters converged on Baltimore City Hall Rachel Vekara of Baltimore's Party for Socialism and Liberation Baltimore's Party for Socialism and Liberation Baltimore's Party for Socialism and Liberation helped organize the protest There is no shortage of needs that the people in the U.S face, we want these taxpayer dollars to meet people's needs ultimately and not destroy other countries on behalf of in this case oil executives. Maryland US representative Johnny Oshevsky who serves on the foreign affairs committee says he's deeply concerned by President Trump's comments that the United States will run Venezuela

Oshetsky says he and other members of the committee are pushing for a briefing from the White House. Mastodon. I don't really, I shy away from politics but someone sent me a DM and i said hey man you can go look at the history they stole these companies from us and what happens is the lefties favorite word is what aboutism yeah well haven't we just done bad deals with people Read your history, moron! There's kind of a new guy there. Who is that? Come on man... This is a new guy He's the friend- I blocked him. I've now gotten into blocking In the JCD school It's just like you answer someone and then... Block Block I'm gonna block you No time for this

I'm too old now. I'm a boomer, I'm a boomer. Two more clips and then I'm done. I'm out of here. Yeah, Boomer block! Let's start with the last two one is the analysis from NPR but i also want to get this one in they're both from NPR so let's start with them with the basic Maduro important analysis NPR okay Trinca, where in this puzzle does Machado, Maria Corrino Machado who just won the Nobel Peace Prize a leader in the Venezuelan opposition. Where does she fit? A widely popular opposition leader interestingly though Trump did not throw his support behind her here's what he said about Machado I think it would be very tough for her to be the leader if she doesn't have the support

Trump said she is a very nice woman, but that she just doesn't have the backing of the people. Some strong profound statements about the opposition leader. Let me turn you to oil and how oil fits into this because President Trump had a lot to say about the oil reserves, how they're going to foot the bill for everything going forward in Venezuela... I don't think he actually said that actually I don't think he said that. No, he didn't say that. Read the significance of that? It's very significant! We didn't hear much talk about re-establishing democracy in Venezuela during this presser. Frankly we didn't hear THAT much talk about drug trafficking either... Which was the initial premise for all of this, going after drug votes. Go on. Exactly! The focus is... Oh she's doing it, Cara! She's doing it, Cara! Go on! When I heard that too

I heard that when she did it and i said ah, Adam's gonna catch it. Go on! Talk about re-establishing democracy in Venezuela during this presser frankly we didn't hear that much talk about drug trafficking either which was the initial premise for all of this we were told going after drug votes go on exactly The focus today was largely on oil. Venezuela, of course has some of the largest oil reserves in the world and let's be clear US involvement in the Venezuelan oil industry would be a huge huge deal though reestablishing it would be wildly expensive and a really long-term project

And it's also kind of unclear as of now which companies would undertake this challenge. Now, Trump claimed that it would not cost the U.S. any money because he expects US oil companies will happily invest billions of dollars to rebuild Venezuelans' oil structure but the reality is that oil or at least he says the oil would then be extracted and sold for a profit to benefit both Venezuelans and the U.S., Now he says the US troops may be necessary to protect the oil, but he is not afraid of U.S. boots on the ground and that is a tremendous statement for President Trump considering his aversion to military invention in the past

Boots on the ground, boots on the ground. Boots on the ground! There's a lot of conjecture I mean NPR is actually way behind us. I looked at all my clips and NPR was behind CNN in so far as quality but this is my last clip. The last clip is NPR and it's there This is the Maduro China reaction which was mocked by everybody because China you know just did what they did in Libya. That's what they do, you know we got other things to do with our time We're not getting involved You can't take care of this, you were out of here China says it is warning its citizens not to travel to Venezuela and says its closely monitoring the situation in that country where China was the biggest buyer of Venezuelan oil. And Pierce Emily Fang has more Although Venezuela contributed just a tiny fraction of the oil China imports

For the South American nation, China was its primary customer ferrying sanctioned oil from Venezuela to small refineries on China's east coast on what analysts term a shadow fleet of ships left unregistered or with their trackers off in order to evade sanctions. Over the last few weeks, Beijing has been outspoken against US strikes on boats in the Caribbean. And on Saturday China's foreign ministry said that the U.S.'s seizure of Venezuelan President Maduro and his wife were quote hegemonic acts and strongly condemned the attack as a violation of international law. No Okay, Russia also had a strong statement. They don't care. Yeah, they put out a strong press release Can we still buy that's the question I got a clip from just about the drugs? I got a clip from France 24 David journalists who I guess is boots on the ground in Venezuela and here's what she had to say I think that every Venezuela was surprised if

Even the military, the military personnel even the whole statement of the government. There's not one person in this country which could have been aware of what was going on even their response was kind of late for what was happening Most of the electricity went down, even cell phone carriers went down. So it was a very confusing situation at the moment even for the government and for Venezuelans, of course. The drug smuggling and trafficking allegation has been broadly covered by private investigations

by international and independent media. But since I am a journalist, and I haven't seen the proof in my hands that in fact Maduro was smuggling drugs, it would be very conservative to say that, to assert that this is a fact I mean, even the Americans are asking or demanding to Trump to present the proof because this operation was not a minor thing. This was very expensive and very dangerous operation even for US military personnel So there's no proof? There is no drugs!

There's no drugs. The indictment, you know the one thing that is not being discussed which is the indictment which allows by using the second article two of the Constitution allows Trump to do all this no matter what anyone likes to think about it being unconstitutional is the indictment very clearly points out all they have been capturing audio tapes tapping his phone It's been going on for years. Everyone who has looked at the indictment against Maduro says it is ironclad And I put a copy of said indictment into the show notes so everybody can read it for themselves So this woman is a stooge, whoever she is Yes! Well, Friends 24

The nexus is out there like, we don't even know the drugs. But we can go back to 1989 I love it when these clips pop up when Joe Biden himself spoke on behalf of the Democrat Party about the necessity, the necessity to go in and stop this scourge of drug networks. Every president for the past two decades Democrat and Republican alike has declared war on drugs. And each of them has lost that war and lost it miserably They lost because they attempted to deal with only part of the drug problem. They lost because their initiatives were pulled apart by bureaucratic squabbling among their advisors. They lost because they always did too little and they did it too late We don't oppose the president's plan

All we want to do is strengthen it. That's President Bush at the time We don't doubt his resolve, all we want to do is stiffen it The trouble is that the president's proposals are not big enough to deal with the problem We think we should do more to stem the flow of drugs across our borders and we think we should go one step further Let's go after the drug lords where they live With an international strike force There must be no safe haven for these narco-terrorists and they must know it. We have to lock up the dealers for a long, long time and we have to attack the source from which the drugs come. And we have to do that not a piece at a time but all at once! And we have to do it now. There's no any reason why we can't do that. We have the power, we have the money, and we have the knowledge. My how things change where was the outrage? Using Joe Biden's old clip because

Back in the day when he was erudite, you could actually speak. He never stuttered by the way. Where did that ever come from? No, he's a stutterer! His whole life is stutterer. He never stuttered. He was straightforward and very clear and so if you don't want a president like that let's wait till he's into total dementia and can barely talk or move or figure out where he is then lets make him President. That's what we do Go back to Face the Nation. This is CBS with Margaret Brennan and this is Senator Chris Van Hollen, with a little extra detail on the details. Yeah, Van Hollen's the guy as you recall who went down and met with the Maryland dad. Yes. Elbreaga Garcia had margaritas at the cafe. So Chevron, an American oil company has been

in Reportedly, there are at least four who have been detained by the regime. The regime that remains in power here. You were on Senate Foreign Relations what do you know about the detained Americans? What can you find out about how they're doing? I've not gotten an update from the administration on those detained Americans. Months ago, I did work to secure the release of an American, a Marylander who we now have back in Baltimore, Maryland. I think the administration is looking at those detentions currently ongoing in Venezuela and determining how many of them are wrongful detentions, how many that they don't think are wrongful detentions but certainly my view is we should work to bring back every American

who is wrongfully detained overseas. I think this is going to complicate that effort with the Trump administration just did. Oh, it's gonna complicate it? Okay. How's he gonna complicate it? So now let's go to Rubio with Stephanopoulos just a couple clips here It's all about the oil for joining us by the Secretary of State Marco Rubio Mr. Secretary Thank you for joining us this morning. President Trump was pretty clear yesterday, he said the United States is going to run Venezuela under what legal authority? Well first of all what's gonna happen here is that we have a quarantine on their oil that means our economy will not be able to move forward until the conditions that are in the national interest to the United States and the interests of the Venezuelan people are met and that's what we intend to do so that leverage remains that leverage is ongoing and we expect it's going to lead to results here were hopeful that does

positive results for the people of Venezuela, but ultimately most importantly for us in the national interest to the United States. We will no longer have hopefully as we move forward here, we'll set the conditions so that we no longer have in our hemisphere a Venezuela that's the crossroads for many of our adversaries around the world including Iran and Hezbollah is no longer sending us drug gangs, is no longer sending us drug boats, is no longer a narco trafficking paradise for all those drugs coming out of Colombia to go through the Caribbean and towards the United States And obviously we want a better future for the people of Venezuela. We want them to have an oil industry where the wealth goes to the people, not to a handful of corrupt individuals and stolen by pirates all over the world. That's what I'm working towards- Pirates? ...and we intend to use the leverage that we have to help achieve that. George ask him again! Ask him who is running this place man?! Let me ask you question again... What is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela?

Well, I explained to you what our goals are and how we're going to use the leverage to make it happen. As far as what our legal authority is on the quarantine, very simple. We have court orders. These are sanctioned boats and we get orders from courts to go after and seize these sanctions so there's that's...I don't know is a court not a legal authority? So this is the United States running Venezuela right now Well, I've explained once again. I'll do it one more time What we are running is the direction that this is going to move moving forward and that is we have leverage This leverage we are using and we intend to use We started using already you can see where they're running out of storage capacity in a few weeks They're gonna have to start pumping oil Unless they make changes And that leverage that we have with the armada boats that are currently positioned allow us to seize any sanctioned boats coming into or out of

Venezuela loaded with oil or on its way in to pick up oil and we can pick and choose which ones we go after. We have court orders for each one that will continue to be in place until the people who have control over the levers of power in that country make changes, better not just in the interest of the people of Venezuela but are in the interest of the United States and the things that we care about George, George George, George. Sorry, George I hit the wrong button You've got him on the ledge man ask him again Let me ask the question again what is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela? Well done. Well, I explained to you what our goals are and how we're going to use the leverage to make it happen as far As what our legal authority is on on the quarantine? I'm very simple We have court orders these are sanctioned boats And we get orders from courts to go after and seize these sanctions so there's that's I don't know it was a court not a legal authority So this is the United States running Venezuela right now can't stand it oh

Well, I've explained once again. I'll do it one more time What we are running is the direction that this is going to move moving forward and that is we have leverage This leverage we are using and we intend to use We started using already you can see where they're running out of storage capacity in a few weeks They're gonna have to start pumping oil unless they make changes That we hire the armada boats that are currently positioning allow us to seize any sanctioned boats coming into or out of Venezuela loaded with oil or on its way in to pick up oil and we can pick and choose which ones we go after. We have court orders for each one that will continue to be in place until the people who have control over the levers of power in that country make changes, that are not just in the interest of the people of Venezuela but are in the interest of the United States and the things that we care about

This is going to be the number one thing for the next two weeks. Who's running it? Who's running it, who's running it... I see right now on the quad box, I see oh there's a General Wesley Clark he says US is running it! Running the policy! Who's running and what are we runnin'? Who's got the ball? Who was on first? WHO'S RUNNING IT?! Well, I think it's interesting that Rubio could say the same exact thing almost word for word three times in a row. Yeah thinking that Stephanopoulos will come up with the better question and Stephanopoulos could not push it well you know It's not just coming up with better questions its way

I don't know, it was very poorly done. Step Manopoulos is not that forceful an interviewer. He can ask the same question over and over but he's just lax about... You have to twist it a little bit differently you gotta find some angle because he's gonna get that same rote answer. Very rote by the way in fact- He walked off the set they went, you sure asked him didn't ya? You know, the funny thing is it's interesting how Rubio is more of a politician by a long shot than Trump is. Trump in that situation would have said, that's a nasty question. You're a nasty reporter. You're fake news! You are horrible journalist. How did you even get this job? That is what he would have done. Last question. Chevron is the only American company working in Venezuela right now. Only American oil company working in Venezuela right now Have you gotten commitments from any other US oil companies to go in

Well, good question George. I haven't spoken to US oil companies in the last few days but we're pretty certain that there will be dramatic interest from Western companies non-Russian non Chinese companies will be very interested our refineries in the Gulf Coast of the United States are the best in terms of refining this heavy crude and there's actually been a shortage of heavy crude around the world. So I think there will be tremendous demand and interest from private industry if given the space to do it, if given the opportunity to do it and that will spin off tremendous royalties for the people of Venezuela, to benefit the people of that country not a handful of people at the top but the people And you know that can happen There will be interests...I haven't spoken to the companies since all this has happened I'm certainly aware who they are

And I have spoken to Secretary Wright and Secretary Burgum, and others. They'll soon be sort of taking an assessment and speaking to some of these companies but i don't have any concerns that there won't be interest There will be tremendous interest if it can be done the right way These stupid Democrats! Now I see on MsNow Debbie Wasserman Schultz Yes we have an emergency call with the leaders of the Democrat Party Where else? Emergency call?! They're doing an emergency pod Right now as we speak, I got some calls yesterday. Hey, Noah Jenner needs to do an emergency pod man! No. That'll be the day. Wow. Emergency pod yeah and then the final clip is that President

The president was asked about Colombia and that was kind of a similar answer to Cuba. And yeah, I think I stick by my first statement. He's making cocaine and sending it into the United States so he does have to watch his ass. Tough guy! Just gotta watch his ass man but it's fascinating to see the media just you know this is going to be their next thing Oh unconstitutional oh we didn't notify Congress all of this stuff and everything else falls by the wayside

The Jews are no longer talked about, Israel's no longer talked about, Epstein is no longer talked about. It was just completely like a tidal wave over everything and again I think by Thursday we'll have to have a pretty good idea of what their plan is in order to quell any issues in the region." I don't think so! You don't think so? I don't think so. I don't think they're going to get to the, to clarify...I don't think it's gonna be clarified by Thursday. I just see it as being a slow moving process and I base that on Rubio mostly because of his repetitious answers he's not giving us any insight whatsoever no the misdirection of Cuba is bullcrap we're not doing anything with Cuba let's face it why not

Because we did because we what's our rationale? Well, I thought they were the rationales Maduro is that he was under indictment And and they're shipping drugs out of there left it right on these boats and we could do sweet guys take action What is Cuba doing so it's just a misdirection It has to be I mean any guy Rubio who is Cuban. So he makes it sound like you tough guy I think the next target would be is either gonna be Mexico or Mexico's the real target and you want to misdirect from that because they have issues. They have more issues than Cuba, like they're right on our border

We're not doing Jack with Cuba and Alberta. Well, Alberta is one of Alberta and Elbert Alberta's gonna be it's gonna be a ramp up to October when they have the voting And it'd be whether the Canadians you know The Canadians can be talked out of this because their wishy-washy generally speaking no offense or Canadian listeners But you know your kind of wishy-washy in your complain a lot I got a note about Canada a second but but the Canadians are you know? They they They tend to be up on current events and it's possible that they could vote to be an independent country in Alberta. It would be a shocker, and the Canadians kind of like to be our slight troublemakers this would be like a perfect example doing it right. Canadian Tim, I think he is Canadian checked him. He said on the last episode John had an aside where you're talking about open AI hiring in a role that admits liability

Just like how you should never apologize when you're in a car accident, which it was a valid point And he says well this will sound like a joke But it's not. In Canada because everyone is so apologetic We actually have laws on the books that state explicitly That an apology is not an admission of liability and he links to To the statute s 0 9 0 0 3 effect of apology on liability An apology made by or on behalf of a person in connection with any matter does not, in law, constitute an express or implied admission of fault or liability by the person in connection with the matter and does not despite any wording to the contrary in any contract of insurance or indemnity. And despite any other act or law void

impair or otherwise affect any insurance or indemnity coverage for any person in connection with the matter and shall not be taken into account in any determination of fault or liability in connection with that matter. Well, how about those Canadians? That's very Canadian. Yes, I thought so too! Like well that's interesting... Yeah it wouldn't be a bad law to have here because people do like to apologize for getting into wrecks but if you do it you're asking for trouble in the United States It's an admission of guilt Why did you apologize sir? You knew you did wrong that's why you apologized right? You just don't apologize for everything you don't apologize for somebody punching you in the mouth when they punch you in the mouth Do you say I'm sorry

Well, the Canadians they're on it. I got a distressing note from Bill, Strokey Bill Walsh's longtime friend Stephen he said well he sent me a note out of the blue so i'm pretty sure was your show that bill was always raving about if i'm not mistaken you get do remember Strokey Bill? Do you not remember Strokey Bill? Well, you do. He did several best of shows and he would always be send long emails about how we were stupid and XRP is great and all this stuff Oh, he's the XRP guy Yeah, he was...he passed away December 19th And yeah, he said your show really had an impact on Bill and he loved listening to you

And this for me, and because I had a very kind of, I'll say hate-love relationship with Strokey Bill because I thought he was a douche most of the time. But it reminded me that the people who are the douchiest are actually the ones that love us the most. Yes, and I'm taking that into account Yeah, yeah, I think there's some truth to that Yeah So we're sorry and I prayed for him And I hope he's in Jesus arms and he's in a better place so and no He had a wife and don't if you had kids but feel Feel sad that we that we lost strokey bill. So I have a clip that

I moved from last show, this is a New Year's celebration. This is kind of round up the different parts of the world and what they were up to in this and that And there was little tidbit in this thing... And I thought it would be worth playing because I wanted..I would like explanation for it when its finished Light shows, fireworks and cultural traditions. From the South Pacific to East Asia celebrations are lighting up the night NTD's Christina Corona brings us some highlights The New Year began in the South Pacific, the first to say goodbye to 2025 Sydney Australia kicked off 2026 with fireworks sparkling over the city's landmarks An hour before midnight the celebration paused for a moment of silence honouring the victims of the recent Bondi Beach attack

In Taiwan, thousands gathered at Taipei 101 for a six-minute fireworks display synchronized with music and a light show. Over in Hong Kong, fireworks over Victoria Harbor were replaced with the light show in the Central District. Officials replaced fireworks after a deadly November fire turning eight buildings into countdown clocks for three minute show themed New Hopes New Beginnings In South Korea, more than 10 thousand people gathered at Seoul's Bosingak Pavilion for the annual bell-tolling ceremony with civic representatives striking the bronze bell 33 times. Whoa! What? Whoa... what is that about?! Yeah and that is in Korea. Hmm yeah I'd like to know what that is about. I would like a Korean to explain it to me

what the significance of 33 in Korea is. And please don't send us emails telling us your discovered theory about 33, we've heard them all they're all different. We have! They're all different yeah every single one of them is different Yeah well that is interesting I have no idea what that's about Of course end-of-the year so lots of lists are coming out This one popped up on the radar. Words and phrases we should no longer use. Yeah, you'll like some of these." Every year Lake Superior State University in Michigan puts together a tongue-in-cheek roundup of overused slang this one really hits the nail on the head The viral 6 7 tops the list. The term demure came in second followed by cooked massive incentivize full stop perfect

and gift or gifted. Rounding out the top 10 are my bad and reach out which also made the list in the 90s I'm gonna tell you what if you say my bad instead of I apologize or I'm sorry it doesn't count yeah agreed you've always had a problem with my bad yes grammatically stupid yeah I like full stop which is also Tucker's period I don't think that can be done anytime period We just can't do that. Yeah, I've always been annoyed by full stop. Why would you throw... You're talking to somebody and say full stop? What? Full stop yes full stop um

I pointed this out on the last episode. France is now doing something about it, it's horrible! When she posted her holiday outfit on X, this young woman did not think that she would end up naked...on the internet. For the past few days users have been asking Grok- I sent you- Did you get any of that in your timeline though? Yeah, yeah he sent me a couple of these. You know what the funny thing is The number of fat JD things I've been getting is up to like 10 a day. And, I still have yet to get into the groove to get any of the bikini things except for ones you sent me. Oh well that's interesting because of course do you click on it? You gotta click on them to see all the variations No i clicked on it but I didn't click...you have to click a lot But once you get in the groove and the fat JD stuff where he's dancing and playing guitar He's doing solos

Sending people on tampon rockets. Hey, hey! We can do a combo Can't we say put fat JD in a bikini? Grok Wow, that's a good idea. Yeah I think that's the combo! That should be next. X's generative AI chatbot to undress women and sometimes even minors without their consent for Marion this was a violation of privacy It is really upsetting to see this you wonder why would anyone do that? When did he decide to do that two people you don't even know on social media? I think there have been about 30 cases by the way

She posts a very seductive picture of herself on social media. By itself, a dumb idea! Why are you doing that? Why?! What is the point? I'm sounding like you now. What is the point? Why are you putting these pictures on social media? Look at me, look at me! Look at me, look at me! Yeah, look at me, look at me... Here's another picture of me! Yes, look at my shoulder. Don't it look hot?! I mean yeah come on! Here's a picture of me with my new hair here's a picture of me lipstick guy he has a picture of me standing there yes here's a picture of me and my dog is a picture of me even my cat here's a picture of me me me me

Look at me and my boyfriend, don't we look beautiful? Wow not your life. Wow! Look at this, look at the fireworks in the background Oh we're eating caviar oh we're so awesome it's fabulous our life is great This is what you get. It hurts to see yourself like that. It's not my body, but it looks similar and then people can reuse the image anywhere. You don't know that! She reported it to the platform but some images of her naked are still online. Instances of free and accessible AI that are stripping women and men off their clothing are on the rise Here a user asks the chatbot to put this young woman in a bikini

Victims have been advised to report illegal content on the platform as well as two authorities. This is interesting because Elon Musk is now posting anyone who puts up illegal content will be banned and con- and the authorities will be contacted, and everyone's like well what is illegal content? What exactly is illegal content? Could you please codify that for us, which as far as I know has not done. The inner party can't! Of course not. Ministers and members of parliament have also reacted Outraged by requests made to grok.ai to strip girls and women while the image is artificial, the harm is very real The courts must examine X's criminal liability This is something new because there is no jurisprudence in France on this issue yet So it's excellent that the court are taking up a case Another victim has launched an online petition calling for greater regulation of generative AI

The US Federal Communications Commission did not immediately respond for comment, while the Federal Trade Commission declined to comment. For its part an ex-AI representative responded, legacy media lies. Okay... Legacy media lies man! This is modern media she should say... We never lie She should say this thing sucks I'm much hotter than that in a bikini but no no it's it is so rampant I'm surprised it hasn't really shown up your timeline. No, it does not show up in my feeds at all yet hmm that's But so getting a lot more besides the debt the JD Vance doing all kinds of moves I am getting a lot of pretty obscure AI movies you know all kinds

Just poorly done, some of them. You know Trump shooting up the place or... It's well worth the 1.3 trillion dollars investment I see more and more now that local municipalities and city councils are blocking data centers left and right it's become quite a thing that even Microsoft is now kind of saying, well you know yeah the rollout's a little harder. We have about 20 cases people don't want it they don't want these data centers near them anymore. No in fact the one that they're building the fusion reactor their building in Washington State Microsoft which is not going to work

which is going to actually be a negative number when they're done getting it, if they even start it. It's got to be a fiasco. I got a note from Jay Confusion on fusion, then I will read it and then you can respond since I don't know anything about this other than the videos that i've seen that show its all gonna work. Oh yeah! Videos are great! I have been working on promoting fusion energy for years now and have tried to help your confusion in the past Yes, tritium and deuterium fused The deuterium is easy

The tritium requires refinement or processing like pulling it out of the heavy water at Hanford for example, or processing lithium to get tritium. The main thing you are missing is the two different types of fusion reactors. The tokamak design is most popular in Europe and the US, it uses magnets and a theoretical containment system that's much smaller in scale – think one tokamak reactor for one data center! The fusion reactor technology proven out by Lawrence Livermore Labs and now merged with Trump's TAE through TAE, uses giant laser systems. The containment system for an industrial-sized scale reactor is the last leap required Think of these fusion reactors for an entire region of the country I have met with the head of Princeton Fusion Labs Professor Cowley to prove out the Berner B O E R N E R Berner fusion future plan for the nation That's a guy ran for president

The inside word is I have not been able to verify that the MIT plasma scientist was working on a containment solution. I was pissed when i heard about the Trump merger because it privatizes the effort instead of using the US Department of Energy so that American citizens own it This technology can take the U.S from a superpower, to a hyper nation and eat the horrendous inflation we've had The Berner plan was amazing You were contacted early in the effort which was several years ago Well, before you react the good news is my buddy works now at the Department of Energy in Colorado and I'm going to ask him. And he will give me as much as he can. Now your take on these different systems? I don't have a take on the different systems they're different systems they all claim to work and i've seen no evidence of it well that's all i can say is that this is like a great idea! I mean I would be terrific if they get fusion to work

in other words, take less energy to make it start up as opposed to how much. Right now the problem is it takes more energy to... It's like that takes twice well not twice as much but just takes even a fraction more energy to produce less energy so you spend a bunch of energy to get less energy. But you keep saying this startup. You can do that! So once its started once it's running? No no it's continuous Well that makes no sense So you have to use, let's say 1.1X to get one point zero out and yeah, you can take that one point zero out and recycle it and put it back into the making of the containment field work or whatever energy you need but now your down .1 no there is no evidence unless somebody shows me some documents I've never seen one

that shows that it takes less energy. If you can put in just like a half amount of energy, then you get twice as much out, fine! For me this is the flying car thing people keep sending me videos look it's a flying car it's here and I'm like no it's not No its not You go to the website It will fly for 35 minutes at 25 miles per hour What good is that? And you won't be able to fly it without a pilot's license. Well, in America would you have a light sport? But you're not gonna be able to fly it from Fredericksburg to Austin A.) You won't make it B.) You've got to recharge forever and you can go by yourself no baggage Tina what Tina gonna drive with the backup car with the battery in the back No! All of these things are toys The only one that is kind of there is that French guy

What's the French guy? Good French guy. Let me find the French guy, he... Well anyway just to back diffusion so I can finish it off that's my concern and yeah there are different technologies that the tokamak is a big deal and this other thing this Helium 3 device that Microsoft is going to build they're not unless I've never seen any evidence these things could work at all they would be built by now Well, we'll have to see. Four more years and we'll figure it out It's the air scooter by Zapata The French guy Zapata Oh that air scooter? Yeah! Oh the demos are dynamite What is different about that is he has a little engine on board which powers... supplies continuous electricity with basically a hybrid to the little rotors

But that thing is like an egg, one person. He flew it across the English Channel a couple months ago, crashed into this channel. We're not quite sure what happened but that thing is cool but you know not for $300,000! None of the... everyone's drone crazy Like oh well I could fly the drone and then I can sit in the drone No! None if its going to work You just look at the specs of these things Yeah, well you can fly for literally 25 minutes. Some go 40 miles an hour. What is that? Are we going to toodle around town? Look at me I'm laughing! These things are faddish and I'd put fusion into the same category as faddish although it's a long-term fad but the faddishness... Do you remember the faddishness where everyone had the ultralights

And they'd get in this little, it didn't weigh anything and he had a little motor in the back. And I don't even know if you had to let me, the license. They're actually better than any of this stuff. But they were all still crashed and we used to have a bunch of them in the Bay area. I've never seen, I haven't seen one for 10 years when, when there was very faddish, I used to see two or three. We have a guy at church. Um, Oh what's his name? A kit K I T T And he still has metal plates throughout his body because he crashed one of them in Fredericksburg a couple years ago. Yeah, and then the fad before that were these auto gyros? Those are cool! I would love an auto gyro

And those were very popular in the 70s, I think. They are one of the safest ways to fly but it's not an EVTOL you still need a runway to take so a couple of companies have tried to make roadable gyrocopters...I have flown a gyrocopter! I'm very interested in it no one has quite gotten there except for the V-PAL which is the Dutch guys And Dave, but it's like this big thing. It folds everything in and it's this huge thing you know maybe it fits in your garage You're driving with a three-wheeler I'm gonna drive to the airport like an idiot. Whoa! And that's two people with you know the little overnight bag Most of them are one seaters. And they don't go very fast

They go about 90 miles an hour. Yeah, but it looked when you see one flying around I haven't seen one for years. It's like the broomstick! You're talking about the broomstick? Yeah they look like going out of hell to me. No, they top 99. Well usually only about 10 feet off the ground these guys will fly them. Well now there are few new ones out that have 7-hour endurance and And three people, closed cockpit side by side in the back air conditioning. In an auto gyro? Yeah really I mean but you know $400,000 well you might as well buy a secondhand airplane at that point. Because what is the real benefit other than safety because they are very safe engine quits you just float down to the ground You know

So yeah, that was a rotor break. But then you float faster to the ground with all these drone things too or what? Well it can fly with one rotor out What if two are out well you're dead no sorry that's no good well then we have the parachute We had the ballistic parachute which is an extra $20,000 I look into all of these things and none of them does The ones they get the most traction is Which, you know they say oh we're the first ones to get a certified flying car. I think it's uh... Mueller, Mueller, Muller? Mueller! That guy. The first time... This guy has been doing this on a cycle of about six-seven years cycle since I was a kid. Oh wow really? The first time I reported this when i was actually editor of InfoWorld he came it was one of the cycles in 1980 He brought it out again Paul Mueller

Yeah, the same guy Moller. He used to be in Sacramento he's around here somewhere and he'd bring out the flying car of the Moller car yeah and he bring it out and he brought I oh look at this is the flying car we're finally there and I remember when you when I was in like the fifth grade or something the same thing came out It's the same recycled car over and over and over again. He gets a lot of publicity, he knows how to get publicity Yeah, he has all kinds of securities exchange issues for investor frauds unregistered stock sales 40 years $100 million dollars spent according to Wikipedia yeah And go ahead look at all these great things that you see

And China's like, oh yeah. Oh no it's working here in China! Okay? It's just not there... I'd love it believe me if there is a real flying car I'll sell my regular car to buy one but I don't see it so it goes right up there It's in the fusion category as far as I'm concerned Yeah well when we see... The fusion thing gonna collapse. I would like to say blow up, but i don't want to use that term. But it would be great! Obviously, It'd be fantastic if it works yes we would be a hyper nation of course yeah it would be fantastic with us the thing is just one of these pitches its all pitch you know and no product well talk to my guy at DOE he'll tell you the same thing I hope so I hope so alright what else you got Johnny boy

I have a little presentation here from San Francisco. Okay, this is the big we talked about it before they're suing the Big Food They're suing Big Food and this is this thing that got me into trouble with you Mm-hmm because I had said one thing one day ten years ago No way what was two years ago? And then five years later I said the opposite then I said I flipped they can flip back and forth, and back and forth. And so I'm playing these clips and I'm thinking to myself as I play these this is the latest this came out yesterday. As I playing these clips I'm thinking wait a minute what is my position? I don't even know anymore! It's okay I'm not holding you to any position we can flip-flop all we want it's a podcast. I'm beginning to think its bullcrap but here we go San Francisco is the kind of heavily Democratic city that the Trump administration often targets

But there's one issue they agree on. They're both taking aim at ultra-processed food In the first lawsuit of its kind, San Francisco is suing 11 of the nation's top food companies saying they sell ultra processed food knowing that they are harmful to health By some estimates more than 60% of the food consumed in the United States is ultra processed A growing body of scientific research says diets high in ultra-processed food lead to chronic diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression. Earlier John Yang spoke with Ashley Gearhart a University of Michigan psychology professor who studies addiction. Ashley we just heard the San Francisco City Attorney say that ultra processed foods are designed to be addictive do you agree?

Yes, in my lab that we see that these products can really trigger all the core signs of addiction. That loss of control those intense cravings that continue to use even though you know it may be killing or harming you So I'll just and this is not for any other reasons other than it was Kali Means when RFK Jr was running but he was on Tucker And the story was that tobacco companies, RGR bought the food companies and then they told their scientists do exactly what you did to make tobacco addictive and do it for food. That was that was the claim at the time. Yeah I thought it was bull crap

Because it's like what do you would you put nicotine in the food? I mean there are there's literally There were literally addictive substances in cigarettes Nicotine. Mm-hmm, that's addictive. Well, they don't put nicotine in the Oreo But I think was sugar and other substances Oh No because before before the Tobacco companies even got involved. There were tons of sugar, I mean they remember when I was a kid they had all these crackers and wafers and vanilla wafers and they used to take sugar in that sugary cereal before tobacco guys also Twinkies and ho-hos and big dongs and hostess cookie cupcakes delicious little Debbie the next

How do they do that? What are in the foods that make people addicted to it. Yeah, there's a certain addiction playbook that's been used from tobacco to opiates to sports betting you take something that exists typically exist in nature like a plant or fruit and you alter it so it gives just this just right dose of reward. It stimulates you but doesn't fully satisfy you So you want to keep coming back for more Oreos are just as addictive as cocaine. You can titrate the smell, the flavor of that taste and then you flood the environment with it so your consumers even if they have a slight moment of temptation, the product is right at arm's reach and next thing they know their using again this is what happened to our food supply when big tobacco really took over in the 70s

And those same levers have been used to create ultra-processed foods that are now killing 1,400 Americans every day. Wow! I would say the marketing and the packaging and the coloring... You walk through the quote unquote food aisle at the supermarket it's just like a circus you know? It's like oh eat me, eat me all this stuff Oh yeah it looks so good and attractive and kids love it Yeah yeah I like using though as a term I'm using... It's called eating, not using. I'm using ho-hos man! I'm using some potato chips Hey Dvorak are you holding? Are you holding anything man? Are you holding any Twinkies? I'm holding a dime bag of potato chips

All right, clip three. You say when big tobacco took over food what do you mean by that? In the 1960s 70's and 80's Philip Morris and R.J Reynolds started buying up the big food companies like Kraft and General Foods they created some of your favorite products and marketed them like Hawaiian Punch and Lunchables There's evidence from researchers like Laura Schmidt who has found that they have applied technologies, flavorants and marketing strategies that were honed to sell tobacco products and have applied them to the ultra-processed food holdings.

They divested some of these food companies in the mid-2000s, but the stamp of Big Tobacco on our food supply has never changed. It's actually just amplified over time and fundamentally changed the food that we eat. Should it be regulated the way tobacco is now? Yeah, when I read things that the food industry is saying you know they're talking a lot about how to turn cravings into corporate profits or or they'll say, you know indulgence has really been a main profit margin for us. That's a big driver of how we're making money and so we've needed time and time again for the government to step in and put some guardrails on those sorts of companies so we and our children can live happy sustainable nourished lives rather than being in these cycles of just craving and crashing that doesn't benefit us but does benefit those corporations.

I'm calling it, this is a marketing ploy. This is a marketing ploy for these companies now to start selling healthy non-addictive which is bull crap. It's just... Well, I don't know how lawsuit can become a marketing ploy they're not behind the lawsuit. Eh, lawsuits, small suits. And by the way in her commentary Nesli which is one of the biggest monster companies what have they got to do with tobacco? No one ever mentions that. Well, when I was a kid the evil big food and tobacco companies were already working together and in Christmas time in our stocking we would get a pack of chocolate cigarettes remember that? That was the setup man! I remember candy cigarettes but I don't remember chocolate cigarettes. You had them there... Candy cigarettes were white some sort of chalky crunchy... Yeah you had that yeah somewhere chewing gum

I've never... no, not here. When i was a kid we didn't have e-bikes We put playing cards in our spokes Remember that? Brrrr! I do remember that We didn't have Uber We had feet, we had feet, we walked with our feet We didn't have lattes We had Folgers with flavor crystals We didn't have avocado toast With nine grain bread We had Wonder Bread with butter And we didn't have Instagram We went to the photo mat Remember that? You had to wait a week. We didn't have TikTok, we had 8mm film with sound! We didn't have 100 friends! We went to the mall and hung out where there was no World of Warcraft. We had Pong and Mrs. Pac-Man. These kids don't know how good they have it." I think it was Ms. Pac... Ms. Pacman yes, Ms. Pacman That was good And the days were good

And we loved it. Call me an Uber, Dad! Walk!" Well I mean there may be some marketing aspect to it and you know like Coca-Cola's name but I don't know what's Coca-Cola got to do with tobacco? This tobacco angle is what bothers me... It's bullcrap Tobacco companies, you're a big tobacco company. You're looking to diversify so you get into the food business because yeah it's not so you can make the food more addictive just because you know how to sell things and you like and you're losing your ability to advertise but you have the skill sets that do it. So you advertise. Your good at advertising thats what you do. Your basically a sales company. Yeah I think your right

You know, boom you're selling something else. So what difference does it make? Yeah you're right. But blaming tobacco... yeah those evil tobacco guys! I supported them for 58 now. I never supported them but i didn't see it as an issue. I smoked for 40 plus years That's a lot of smoking. You used to roll your own too, which cracked me up? Well for most of my life I rolled my own when i was young when I was smoking at 13 14 we'd go hang out at the uh at the phone booth you tug on the string and it had their little packet tobacco no no no you tug on the string that comes back in your pocket No! We bought drum tobacco was in a pouch he had your papers and

That mechanism, I can still roll my own cigarette with one hand. Because you know, or you hold the steering wheel with your knees. That's what a Tesla would be good for. I could roll up my tobacco here yeah Yeah you don't even have to hold the steering wheel with your knees. Yeah drum was my favorite. Drum and then you had some of those some of the tough guys they had the vanilla and that was black tobacco oh man ooh And then later on I was on a Galois kick for awhile remember Galois? Oh yeah The French Cigarettes It's like smoking a turd, but it was cool. It's like the people who smoke clove. Oh! Kretek was the brand from Indonesia. Hey you got any cigarette? Yeah I got some kreteks. Oh that's too bad because it's horrible. It was nasty and they would pop and sparkle and then you've gotta burn hole in your clothes and your mom would be like how did this happen oh no no no

Of course, later just... Ah the good old days. They were good ol' days! Not like those kids in New York they've got mom Donny Few of these eight and a half million will fit into neat an easy boxes Some will be voters from Hillside Avenue or Fordham Road who supported President Trump a year before they voted for me Tired of being failed by their party's establishment The majority will not use the language that we often expect from those who wield influence I welcome the change. For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty. Many of these people have been betrayed by the established order." You know before i finish he has a little bit of an Obama cadence but it's all his own

And as an orator, I'm impressed. The words you know this it's blah blah blah but it's good and of course the classic is coming up here But in our administration their needs will be met Their hopes and dreams and interests will be reflected transparently in government They will shape our future An if for too long these communities have existed as distinct from one another We will draw this city closer together We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivist. If our campaign demonstrated that people in New York yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it! He's not gonna do any of it I don't think he is going to do a single thing No, no, he just a big talker Yeah! And good at though Yes but probably just get more corrupt Oh yeah

He did some anti-Jew stuff. Everyone's all up in arms, listen to this Pro Israel groups are slamming Mayor Madani for revoking two executive orders by former mayor Adams meant to support Israel One of them barred city agencies from boycotting or divesting from Israel The other adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism It equates some forms Israel criticism with anti-Semitism. These executives orders are two of nine that Mamdani revoked because they came after Adams was indicted on federal corruption charges Mayor Mamdani said he wanted a fresh start for his administration He did not revoke the creation of the city's office to combat anti-semitism which Adams created in May. Aw, weak!

week should have done that I was reading a salon article about the about the block party. You know, Marissa Torme is out there and you know... Oh God! With their red hats you know they're socialist hats they're DSA hats and everyone's passing out coffee isn't it great? Yes a great moment 25 degrees in New York. Brrr We can just call it- The guy's not gonna do anything It'll just be sad if some New Yorkers get hurt because he's putting income poops in charge of police Fire, you know we'll have to see I hope oh yeah Yeah, he's I don't agree. I think he's not gonna do anything But he's going to buy by putting idiots in charge of various departments It's going to be a problem at some point and who will get blamed black women Well the head of this or the fire department that the lesbian is not black

Yeah, but listen. This is just the socialist playbook! Like we make big talk, big promises and of course you know he's going to tax the rich well how did that work for Ro Khanna? Isn't that his name? Ro Khanna? He said he's out here yeah he said oh five percent wealth tax on all billionaires everyone went okay we're primarying you bitch I'm sorry didn't mean to say that You have 2,000 billionaires in California apparently. No this is about 200 maybe Oh I thought it was more than that Well still... I don't think it's even that 200 I could be wrong It's not a lot of money these days anymore A lot of people are worth a lot of money but a billion is an extreme amount Yeah well In 1990 a house was 20 grand

Well, that's the thing that needs to be fixed. Definitely need... I haven't really figured it out yet but i keep hearing Tom Luongo Talking about what Trump's gonna do with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and that somehow gonna fix it Do you don't think you the figure how your fixes? You build more houses and get rid of the migrants. Yeah Well one check mark on that It's starting getting better than us were in the mood Don't want to miss this report about you know about but superflu I have it Yeah, you had it. And of course we've already determined that and they've determined and they like to say that the vaccine doesn't work at all for it but they're going to still beat us up because you know it might not work but you know which kind of works... So now then the technique they're using in this report is let's first scare people about measles. Yes

And then we can tell them to get the flu shot. Isn't this the special K, the sub-K? Something stupid yeah I call it Special K. Beasle's cases in the US have skyrocketed to the highest level in over three decades How many is that skyrockets? Is it to the moon? Is it to Mars how high is it? It's less than 3,000 so you have the entire population of 300 million people and We have less than a percent in the UK. CDC, the number of recorded measles cases this year has topped 2,000 for the first time in more than 30 years. The measles cases were confirmed across 44 states here in Washington there were 12 confirmed measles cases in 2025 earlier this month that contagious virus was detected at two major airports during peak holiday travel

Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey and at Boston Logan airport. The measles spike is being attributed to a drop in national vaccination rates, not just measles on the rise new data from the CDC shows flu cases continuing to spike across the country driven by a new variant called superflu. As Steve Harrigan shows us the uptick in infections comes as vaccination rates remain low health officials across the country are scrambling to contain a new surge of respiratory illnesses And while COVID and RSV are on the radar, this year a new variant nicknamed Superflu is causing the most infections. It just so happens that this sub-clade K variant that we're seeing really does seem to spread very efficiently it's just part of its genetic makeup You can see here on the CDC's latest flu tracker most of the country is experiencing high activity So far this season we've seen at least seven and a half million cases

81,000 hospitalizations and more than 3,000 deaths. Experts say the virus is affecting children more severely and that trend is expected to continue as people return from holiday travel. If you go to the urgent care clinics or doctor's offices or even emergency rooms they are flooded now with a lot of flu patients Another big driver vaccine hesitancy only 42% of adults have gotten the flu shot this year Doctors say while the new variant is not a perfect match for the vaccine, recent analysis from the UK finds this shot offers at least partial protection. Oh yeah... alright What does that mean? Partial! You won't die! But you know what? This is interesting So superflu I typed that into my handy dandy clip search machine

And I come up with a clip from September 2019, which would be just before COVID. Am i right in the timeline here? I think so I mean, COVID came out in 2019. No no... But that's before COVID flattened the curve and all the rest. No, because I think that person died already. That person in Washington state may have died by September? Because I think I went to Rogan in October And it was two weeks after that, because that's when the Dr. Doom was on... What's the guy's name again? Yeah, that guy. The guy who has long COVID now ironically whatever that is. Gee I wonder how that happened So this could be a dud but i'd just like to listen because this was titled Superflu with dr mark siegel you remember that guy

Yeah, he's still around. He's on Fox yeah And he was on Tucker a new report by the World Health Organization says it's just a matter of time Maybe not that much time before a major flu pandemic in today's hyper globalized world The report says a superflu could spread worldwide in just 36 hours and potentially kill 80 million people We prepared for that couldn't be prepared for that isn't that interesting That the CDC, did they say CDC or World Health Organization? Let me listen again. A new report by the World Health Organization. So they were talking about a super flu September 19 2019 that could fly around the world in 36 hours and kill 80 million people Yeah which was the numbers we were given for when COVID hit. Think about that setup isn't that interesting

Yeah, gee. So when they come up with the superflu again be careful what they're doing With that I want to thank you for your courage saying in the morning to you and the man who put the C in the dime bag of chips say hello To my friend on the other end the one the only mr.. John I love a good invasion and extraction. I love it when Trump does something

I love it. I'll be honest. He needs to do more of this stuff, yeah because everyone's like let's see what the boys got to say Let's listen to them. Let's see how many they're doing for the Israel shekels Hasbara Remember Netanyahu just left The White House when all this kicked off. Yeah must have been Netanyahu behind it cause he calls the shots. I'm just asking questions Those trolls are in the troll room troll room dot IO and they are probably listening on a modern podcast app by the way if you go to alpha Dot pod verse calm.

And you can participate in many ways on this podcast by helping us with your time, your talent or your treasure. Now normally we will thank the artists for episode 1831 however...

Bad news we had we got Sir Paul Couture emailed us and said well, we had a disastrous crash And of course Paul Couture has been running the art generator for a long time. Yeah It's usually stable stuff. They're running it because he invented it. He certainly did invent it And you know, sometimes things go wrong and sometimes things break. And so he lost all of the submissions that were put in since the previous show I guess except for what he saved was everything that was chosen So we're sorry We can't nag and rag on all the previous AI generated art because it's all gone

But we can thank Jeffrey Rhea for bringing us the artwork for episode 1830, which was titled Bulb Heads. Got a lot of comments on that! Which I didn't get any comments... Oh well, people like put a bikini on it now i saw it in my timeline. Bikini? And I just want to say that this incredibly racist comment did not come from you or from me but came from Mimi. Mimi's the one who first told me used the term bulb head It's so horrible. It's gotta be the worst. But there it is! That was her description of the guy who ran for mayor Which, which mayor? For what? Minneapolis, that Somali that ran for Minneapolis Mayor had a curious shape cranium and she called him a bulb head How about have you seen... What's that girl who was just on Saturday Night Live The Great Singer

Ariana Grande. Yes, I've noticed that her look has changed She has an alien head! I think she had some work done and it didn't come out well But the back of her head extends half a head longer than it should You gotta take a look at it Yeah, she also doesn't look... her face is also skewed. But she can sing! Maybe a different person That's possible but she can sing I'll tell you that Oh yeah, she always had good voice Girl can sing So thank you, Jeffrey Rhea. And again we can't nag and rag on anything else because it's all gone but noagendaartgenerator.com is where you could upload your homemade art or your slop as you so prefer. It's working now! Yeah it is working now. Well at least accepting art... It is accepting art I see some interesting things already that I'm liking remember it's not about the tool it's about the thought behind it it's about the humor can you get our attention with something funny

Usually simple is better. Keep it simple, that's usually better Don't try to fill it up with all kinds of little gags and things in the background Just keep it simple And often...and this a big mistake people make Is they will put a title underneath the art which makes it very funny But if you don't read that title you don't understand the art How do I explain that? It doesn't work as standalone humor. No, it doesn't. Yeah you can't do two-part humor You can have a connective title name that makes it funny yeah I'm already telling you Darren O'Neal is ahead He's already got some zingers here

Well, he's got you something to make up for a show today. Yeah that's true Noah ArtGenerator dot com is where you can upload your art we love it It's it's a lot of fun at this point its open to everybody with the keyboard You can just go to your favorite generator and say make me some podcast art for this podcast And usually it turns out okay so Thank you very much Jeffrey Rhea.

ITM Jens says a listener of the show since Adams first Rogan appearance in March 4th 2020 now. I'm just told so close that his first appearance was in October 2019 Well, there it is. I guess I was wrong So they came before because right after Rogan that's when it when the shutdown came two weeks later So, World Health Organization... But the first person who dropped dead, the guy who dropped dead in Washington State which recovered. First dead guy from COVID I think was predating the super flu clip, well, I think. Well but the fact that WHO is calling it that way is sus. Yeah, they are. Very sus. Hey did you see by the way what Samuel did in the CC?

Corolla Curry. No, he has Corolla crossed out. Oh I did... Joker! Joker! He has slightly crossed out and a Corolla. Thanks That is funny.

But I'll make one for you. And I want to clarify this note to Adam, don't let John keep Tom Sawyer-ing you into calling out the 50s and above. No! This was a decision we made after I had been doing it for 17 years and clearly getting burned out from it. I could barely read the names let alone the cities in them notes. Yeah, it was executive decision we made. Now were you the one that suggested or I say strongly suggested

And I was glad to go along with it because, yeah. Let Adam do this work for a while! That's not Tom Sawyer-ing at all No if i had tricked him into it yes but I didn't. I would have gone my merry way just reading like... and I wonder how many people even understand the term Tom Sawyer-ing? Do you think that people have read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn in our life No. The number of people that know what Tom Sawyer-ing is, is probably... Hey man wasn't that a cool track by Rush? 20% of the audience maybe 20%, if we're lucky It was great track by Rush man Those guys did Tom Sawyer like nobody else Few slaves could get used to mac and cheese Macaroni and cheese Shatter melted together Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese Mac and Cheese Hey everybody

So I do want to get this out of the way. This is that we don't have anything on the Minnesota fraud, at least i don't. Except they do have a comment from Walls that I think's worth playing it was about the Learing Center. I guess there is no way to put this delicately so basically were fucked they caught us The FBI is looking at all of us right now so please tell your brothers your husbands Well, you're from Somalia. So your brothers are probably your husbands whatever just tell all your family members to shut it all down right friggin now if You have kids put them in a truck and take them to the nearest quality learning center I know it's supposed to say learning but you're also fucking stupid. You couldn't even get the sign right?

Anyway, take them to the Learing Center and tell them to pretend like they're learning shit. Okay? It just doesn't work in audio if you don't see it that it has to have the video I think these AI things They lose it an audio what yeah, I think they lose it in audio do you think that was AI please no please Yeah III disagree. Are you telling me that's no that was about okay? I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree in general. I'm not disagreeing about that particular... That wasn't a very good voice The voice was not trained properly, it didn't sound enough like Walls It should be exagerated a little bit It should be-I think this is closer This is Liz Warren complaining Oh sorry, wasn't prepared for that Liz Warren

Trans community is not a violent community. We are peaceful people I myself am trans, I'm trans race, I identify as a Native American from the tribe of Retard Ho descendants of the Navajo and the Stupid Hose And we are a peaceful people Okay you know that the problem is You don't see what's going on in the background. You don't see that and it's like, for some reason people can't write something funny enough they have to put cuss words in there and I'm a retard you know? It's old I guess! Put a bikini on her that would be funnier

Just, you know... I just thought it was worth a shot. I'm underwhelmed! You're picky you have better ears than most people too but that I thought the Warren voice sounded very close yeah I got a big report out of Germany this is right out of a movie people it's been described as one of the biggest heists in German history. Investigators are now trying to work out how thieves managed to steal valuables worth tens of millions of euros from a bank in the western city of Gelsenkirchen. Police believe, a large drill was used to break through a thick basement wall to reach their loot. Hundreds of furious customers descend on their bank terrified that everything they own has vanished. I have entrusted and invested all my

I didn't sleep last night. They are not giving us any information. Emergency services discovered the break-in on Monday morning after the fire alarm went off. Firefighters and police officers searched the bank for a possible fire, but instead of flames they found a hole in the basement wall and ransacked vault containing cash gold and jewelry worth tens of millions of euros If someone had a safety deposit box, there's a high probability that it was broken into because 90% of them have. Some victims fear their losses may exceed the insured value of their boxes. I fear my mother's gold coin is gone. She passed away in 1988. My grandmother's gold bracelets

which I hoped would secure my daughter's future. Investigators are still piecing together how it all happened, but they believe the burglars used a nearby parking garage to gain access to the bank. Police say the evidence points to a highly organized operation."I would definitely say this is quite spectacular. It is really unique compared to anything This was like in Ocean's 11. They drilled this huge hole through, you know like a two-foot wall How old school is that? Yeah! That's pretty good You have to have...that takes a lot of planning Yeah And who puts their gold coin in the vault in the bank anymore

That doesn't sound right. She said one gold coin, I have a very small tract of land it's my parcel of land is in the... And then cash why would you put cash in a safe deposit box? Yeah put it in your mattress like normal people! That's what you do or maybe put it in the bank where it's insured yeah The big thing now is people come and rouse at home and say give me your Bitcoin key That's the big one now. They're kidnapping people everywhere for it. First you have to know that somebody has a Bitcoin key, how would they know? Well if you're the CEO of an exchange or some...or if your boastful

Now, of course the way to go is two or three multi-sig. So I can give you my key without the other two... at least one of the other two you can't get to it You've just given it away? Well no! I'm not giving nothing away Yeah yeah you are. You just told people everybody out there every criminal listens to this show and there's probably more than one You've just told me there's a three key system that you use and now they're gonna have to beat it out of ya. No, but I don't have the other two! The other two are not in my possession That's the beauty of it Oh where are they? With a trust company No. Oh, yeah that's that is the only way to do it So you can't recover them? So you can be beaten into submission so they could be forced They can beat me but they're not gonna get my Bitcoin But come and take it suckas we're ready here in Fredericksburg

I have two TikTok clips. Okay, oh, whoa! I'll go with you that's fine. Okay just deluded women...I'm sorry. No, first of all here is a question thank you here's the question Have you already posted these on Twitter? Because I see some... I mean your time you're in my timeline now all the time And it's like, it ruins it because then I see these clips on X and then you play them on the show. You need to segregate that stuff man! Stuff for the show? Why are you giving valuable show material to Elon Musk?! I'm not going to argue with your point

Let's start with the box checker. I always get asked if I want children and the short answer is maybe, the long answer is I will not be having kids with a man unless he can check off these boxes for me. For starters, the man will absolutely have to be my husband. I would never give a man a baby without the biggest rock on my finger. The second box would be a push present as a non-negotiable for me. I want either a car or house It's a non-negotiable. Also, assuming the man I will be with would be tatted so he would have to get a tattoo of my face on his stomach because it is body for body and my body is going to change forever So should his

The third box would be that I need a house cleaner and then the fourth box would be that I need a full-time nanny. Um, I already know who the nanny would be it would be a family member but uh i want that family member to be very well compensated for their time and energy so So yeah, remember before you type some nasty ass shit that these are my requirements. Right? You don't have to have any requirements if you just want to have a baby for the free or if you just want to be a man that wants to give a woman a baby and you wanna do nothing else but spread your seed and have nothing else to offer the woman then live your life this is my life and I will not be changing and sacrificing

whole entire life without these boxes being checked off. Okay? Okay. Well, first of all I think the correct term for a woman like this is not a box checker but a box fox Second, although this is somewhat exaggerated. This is in fact the problem with many women as I've ever heard from many young men that they do have these boxes and it's the sixes typically 6 feet tall six-pack abs 66 figure salary etc etc

And I think that the woke Democrat liberal culture that we are weaseling our way out of has ruined them. Yeah, I think so too they're ruined. So it's a... It is a ruined person That's yeah that's actually very sad. I'm very sad for her but I believe that to be reasonably authentic Oh, thank you. That's one of the few clips that you thought were real Yeah I think it was authentic and i'm not sorry for her. I'm just uh, I think she's a sickening person But but I have love for everybody john yeah Yeah, I do even my enemies Here is the another one This is a now this one is interesting because this this is a another delusional woman And and she and this has got a twist in it which

It really took me aback and the only reason I'm playing it is for the little twist at the end. God, I find it really fucking comical Me and all my liberal friends want to be traditional housewives Well, not all of us but most of us. But the problem is we don't like Republican men because they don't have the same sense of justice and morality that we do because we care for every human being and the liberal men don't believe in exploiting themselves for labor so like we have to have an equal household Because the only ones that bust their ass and make enough money

to support a stay at home mom, wife whatever or the Republican men because they will exploit the shit out of themselves for money. Then they're miserable and burnout and take it out on everyone around them and refuse to take meds so it's like I'd rather be alone Well, your wish is granted young lady. Yeah she'll be alone but what is this thing that they get all you know they have issues because they're working too hard and they have to and they refuse to take meds was the kicker? What is wrong with these people oh I'm not gonna run off of The Republican Man they refused to take meds! Everybody's on meds man

Well, she's obviously on meds. I would say nine out of ten of the TikTok women you play are on meds and you have no idea and it's all SSRIs all of them. You know what? What i'm kind of worried about or this is a quick conversation so if President Trump pulls off what he's trying to pull off And there will be a lot of jobs, but these will be trade jobs. Do you think that there will be enough young people who actually want to do this? Who want to retool, reschool, learn how to do these things?"

Can we actually go back to a productive, production-type economy with the type of people we have now? Do you think that the Zeds will do it or have they been completely ruined. I think they can be brainwashed into doing it. Really? It just seems like at some point you've just got to be sick of the boring life of sitting behind a PlayStation or not having a girlfriend, or not having anything going on and you're getting old. And by old I mean 30.

And maybe you can learn how to be a plumber. I mean, it's...I think people that are already 30 it may be too late for them but people are coming up they look at what's ahead and they see the opportunity for them not to go that way. I hope so! Be this 40 year old guy living in house still living at home? Yeah, I hope so! A forty-year-old virgin basically? Yeah, I hope so I hope the people take advantage of the opportunity because it's going to be good money. It's gonna be good paying union jobs! No, it's gonna be good money you can already see it happening. I think it was at apprenticeships.gov they're doing a million apprenticeships but no one talks about it. No one ever says hey there are some opportunities out there should probably jump in on that get your hands dirty oh yeah I don't know

I've been looking at this Fuentes on Owens AJ clip for three hours. I'd love to know what that is before we go into our last segment Yeah, okay but this was just a snippet from Tell me it's not AI Tell me it's not AI John It's not AI This was a snippet of Fuentes' was on Alex Jones Recently? Oh, I missed it Yeah, he did. And Alex Jones is just a love fest between these two I mean they're genuinely like each other it seems unlike Tucker... I like him! He's got gusto. He has got gusto and Globeless he's all against them

Yeah. I'm getting there, I'm getting there! You got it you nailed it! Yeah I nailed it come on DeMora So they get along but so but Fuentes drops this little bomb about Candace and her you know he does understand that she comes from you know that she's married a character who is part of the British royalty nexus and all the rest but he throws in another character I never knew anything about specifically and he puts it in there as a quizzical situation that he's doesn't understand why people are talking about One thing or another about Candace, but they never bring this guy up and this is the guy. This guy who's been supporting her John Mappin I don't know why nobody is talking about John Mappin The Scientologist The heir to the jeweler that creates the crown jewels for the British Royal Family He allegedly introduced her and her husband. He's been so supportive she retweets him. He's writing letters to her He was best friends with Charlie Kirk his wife is from Russia. I don't know why nobody's talking about that guy No one's talking

talking about George Farmer. They all met through Turning Point UK, so you have Turning Point USA she met her husband through Turning Point UK she made a bag off of turning point USA and turning point UK So there's definitely something suspicious going on there maybe a foreign intelligence play of its own Oh he's finally catching on to the North Sea Nexus oh that's good we need him just be talking about that That's good yeah I know but this John Mappin guy I've heard of Mappin. M-A-P-P-I-N, John Mappin. Yeah, the globalist You know it's interesting Tina and I have been watching the series Victoria on Netflix which is about Queen Victoria who ascended to the throne when she was I think 18 years old and The Virgin Queen

She was the Virgin Queen, yes. And of course Albert's... and they're all Germans which is great because she came from Coburg, Albert came from... They're all Germans! The whole... They just changed their name later. Windsor! We are from Windsor! But it's... I think it's a very accurate portrayal of those times this is 1800s and you just see the riches that they got from the entire British Empire and how the British people suffered under them. Even though it's a love story, and it's all beautiful—and the costumes are phenomenal! But the British royalty do not give a hoot about the people. Not for one...they never have ever.

They're just living in squalor among rats and eating stale bread, and they got cholera Indian Cholera. And just they don't care at all about them It's amazing that people still want to live there at all because you know it's still the same with their house of Lords They're just no good Can I just state that? They're just no good. The Brits, you know...I lived there for a couple of five years. I like their humor but they don't care about plebs. They really really don't Don't give a rat's ass about them Your thoughts

I'm not going to disagree. I mean, I've worked there... I went twice a year to London and the rest of the UK for about a decade so i've been there enough to find my way around and drive which is always amusing especially on the roundabouts when you do it for the first time The roundabouts are very...the roundabouts are a little frightening but the rest of us pretty easy When you wind up going against traffic on the roundabout I've done that. The roundabouts are a rough go, but and there's lots of them um but i found that the they're they're they're royalists that really are just crazy about the royals and i think it's very important to have them in their field that hate the royals and always considered like communists when they're not

I really can't put my finger on whether, I mean enjoy going there. I can blend in as best I can is anywhere and uh... There's a pale white guy. You just eat some fish and chips or curry and you're good to go! But the more that we do research, the more it's obvious that the British monarchy is stronger than we think it is. They've succeeded in their attempts to control the world. Suckers sold the operation. Suckered everybody into believing it's... They suckered everybody, but if you start looking at their total net worth which is who knows? It's outrageous! You think Elon Musk is rich?! No no. You look at the net worth of these guys and the buildings and things that they own all over the place where this was his name Andrew is kicked out of The Lodge which was a huge mansion behind Windsor Castle He had to go back to another mansion someplace else Yes he used his old name Von what's-it Mountbatten

or whatever, he's not less usual. Whatever it is but who cares? And so yeah he's down one maid. Victoria they call her the grandmother of Europe because all of our kids they're all royalty in Spain and all these different countries all throughout Europe I mean the nexus really does come from them and of course some the event the Orange family who Queen Victoria said as they were looking for her to get married. Oh, I don't want to marry that pumpkin head Dutchman from Orange which pretty much describes the Dutch royal family's pumpkin heads Yeah it's just yeah and they hate us They hate us they can't stand that we did so well

So, I think that concludes our North Sea Nexus analysis. The Brits hate us and they hate poor people!

Created by, for you and me Just a tip with JCB And sometimes Adam Okay I'm in the rotation So we're going back to websites And with the breaking news of the raid and capture and kidnapping and extraction or whatever you want to call it, of Maduro. It might be a good time to put this on your list of websites to check out. This is... The website is onlinenewspapers.com. Oh that sounds good! Onlinenewspapers.com Every newspaper in the entire world

is linked on this site. But are they all behind a paywall? No, well I mean if the individual newspapers behind it like The Wall Street Journal yeah but most of them aren't and they're worldwide and it tells you if they're in English or what language it is so you get these english-speaking newspapers in different parts of the world and you get all kinds of... This is a very valuable site for your researchers out there especially You kids in college that want to have a couple some references that are little obscene, obscure but you nailed them from going onto this site. OnlineNewspapers.com I'm looking at the Dutch newspapers? This is good! Wow... Now lot of these are syndicated so they're owned by one entity but still this is quite interesting

Yeah, who maintains the site? Do they make any money off of it? They got any ads. I can't see it making any money. It must be a front for some Intel agency that issues themselves. They also use it but hey since we got it you might as well just let the public use it. Oh thats pretty good. By the way one of our producers sent me a note that OpenAI is testing ads I know.
