Hello! Hello! With Africa news you can use and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from the northern Silicon Valley we hope everybody had a happy Christmas! Yeah, Merry Christmas. We already went through this Happy Christmas That's what the British say by the way They say happy Christmas Happy Christmas to you So what's wrong with Happy Christmas? We already went through this on the Christmas show There is nothing wrong with it It's just un-American What so American about merry? That's just what we do! We do Merry Christmas I think we do Merry Holidays
I was just about to put old joke back. Yeah, yeah...I know You know, I hear people saying in the shops... Merry New Year's. Okay, I'm going with that. Happy holidays! I don't want to offend everybody and happy holidays. Happy Holidays. Did you say who was it? They just posted a video about Kwanzaa It was a newsome Whatever happened to Kwanzaa? Kwanzaa used to be great They're pushing it They're pushing the kwanzaa on us again John Yeah, I didn't notice a lot of people celebrating Hanukkah this year. Borowitz did? Oh yeah no the Jews celebrated but they didn't post about it because it's not worth it
It's not worth the aggravation. Exactly! Actually, that's a good point you're right I didn't hear too many it's usually happy Hanukkah Merry Christmas and now they just dropped to Hanukkah yeah I mean we had a menorah art that we didn't post out of fear out of fear for backlash I don't know if it was out of fear for backlash but could have been I blame Nick Fuentes Yeah, yeah he's definitely partially respite. It's the punk rock podcasters man that's what they do Rock Against Religion! Look at us we're so bold I expect him to put a safety pin through his ear pretty soon Like the old world school punk rockers... I don't see how you can do that I've been studying this guy He's not to extol the virtues of Nick Fuentes but i'll say this I think he is consummate pro
If you can listen to him for three hours, he never flubs. He never says uh... He never says ummm.... I heard him say umm once. Oh wow! He never says uhh..he doesn't stammer He doesn't stutter, he doesn't stammer like I do. Well if you can run the board then there you go! I can retire to you and Nick Fuentes can do the show. He uses an EV20 and knows how to use it correctly. He's got a terrific voice that is very understandable. He is unbelievably talented He is, I think he's the best podcaster in working right now. Even though I think he's controversial Wait a minute How can we but we're the best podcast in the universe No, I'm talking about an individual one of those guys who does the solos solo guy solo guy Okay, so it's really this podcast where the best podcast hello yes, he's The best soliloquist
He's really, it sounds unbelievable. He's a white and he's not a white supremacist, he's a white pride And I consider that different. But anyway, this is beside the point he's also tricky No He's very tricky He's the one that nobody can figure out everybody else kind of knows what these other folks are doing? I can figure this guy out right now What do you want to do you want to roll right into it or you want to do? Africa news we have so much Africa news it hurts! I'm gonna push the Flinties thing until we get we'll go and African news next I have only, I could've put a presentation together. I have three clips just to show you how he operates and how he does his thing. He's so good right now but I'll give it to give you a briefing right now he has gone hard against JD Vance Oh well wait a minute that is what most people are shilling for in the North Sea Nexus Pottosphere Yeah They all want J D to be the next president even if it hurts Trump J D
Okay, well he's hard against advance but he's going to prove his worth. He thinks or he hopes that Because he's gonna go extremely hard in 2026 against Vivek Ramaswamy. Who cares? Well, he just wants to... He is testing himself with Vivek. Do you want to do these clips or not? Yeah I'm going to do the clips but i am trying to give a briefing on the background because what happened was... Briefing on background! Briefing on background So he called Vance's wife a jeet Which I didn't even know what that meant. I had to look it up is great is awesome Yeah, so he calls her a genius Oh So Vance comes out of out and as vice president of the United States tells him to eat shit
You could talk about your wife. No one really cares about your wife. I have to set this clip up. Well, you gave me a clear, audible clue... I said it in such a way that it was- I can see you. But let me finish How long we've been doing this? Too long Yeah And you are correct on that last cue but He does it I'm getting over three-parter here. This is a classic Nick Fuentes part one he starts you off by creating a Doubt in your mind and then he does his long soliloquy, and then he doesn't follow up which is even better This guy is slick here. We go you could talk about your wife no one really cares about your wife No one cares about any of that we want to know are we getting an immigration moratorium? Will you restrain Israel and what the fuck does Peter Thiel have on you And what is your relationship with him and Elon I
That's what we want to know. You can save the bitching about your wife, no one cares about your wife okay? She's pretty she's gorgeous your kids look great whatever No one cares if... Okay you did the tough guy shtick you stood by your woman good for you Now we want to know And we want to know because this guy is being foisted upon us. I've never seen anything like this ever. Well, you're only 12 so it doesn't surprise me but well he has seen this before and that this is the key to his presentation He starts off with what I would consider a false premise To put at little piece of doubt in the mind and open the mind of the listener So he can then rant at them because
But the way he describes it, he's never seen anyone just voice that on his ever Barack Obama come to mind? There's a guy who came out of nowhere, next thing you know he is President of the United States. That doesn't come to mind. Clinton came out Arkansas out of the blue He was literally 12 Well maybe was but it doesn't... The point is that he sets you up Yes because Hillary Clinton is another one out of the blue Who hasn't come out of the blue except Reagan John this this is the perfect Zuma Waffen rage bait where you talk about Israel Palantir. You like Zuma Waffen? I do, thank you! That is our new term. The Zuma Waffen yes he has part of the Zuma Waffen Okay so he's opened him up just a little bit just enough to do the rant which is the long part this is like in journalism this would be the nut graph only he makes it really long
and he usually repeats things three times in different ways, much like a broadcaster or like a Jim Rome or anybody. He's very professional at this. Limbaugh used to do the same thing I put him in that category and here he goes. ever. First of all, this administration's not doing so hot. Let's get that straight the war in Ukraine is still going on the war in the Middle East is about to get started again we don't have mass deportations we don't have a wall the economy's not going so great Epstein files just came out because Congress made you release them. And yet everyone is telling us already, you got to vote for JD Vance will timeout this administration's not going well and he's the vice president were not even a year in they already want us voting in the next one like think about how crazy that is it's not even a year in it is 2025 still and there are already got us thinking oh we gotta vote in 28
28, it's 2025. I'll be 14 and you suck this administration sucks so not only do you already want us thinking about the next one this one isn't even going well you think we're ready for more? We're not even finished with this and this is a pile of shit! We've been eating shit for a year They're ready to blow through any kind of a primary. Trump has been on the ballot three times, it's unprecedented in modern history that you have something like this. Trump was on the ballot in 1620 2428 is the first Republican election since 2012 that Trump was not on the ballots. It should be wide open for us to decide where we're going to go after this
And not only are they telling us, well you gotta get ready to vote again in the next cycle. They're telling us a decision has been made already it's Vance. Turning Point is telling us, Tucker is telling us, Elon is telling us everyone is already telling us Vance is the guy no one shills JD Vance more than Tucker Carlson and that's really weird Turning point, Erica has crowned Vance the next president. They've all crowned him next president! Who even is this guy? You're right not a single mm or ah and... Oh no he'll never be... He's unbelievable And it just picks one topic I mean this is you know in a way he has a Limbaugh type quality to him too
No, Limbaugh is definitely in the mix. I would say that if this guy was back in the day he's like a 50s Democrat and his mentality... Archie Bunker! Yes he's Archie Bunker! But with more of a Republican slant but it's like He has, he would have been Edward R. Murrow I'm totally convinced of it Yeah? And you'd have the Fuentes Awards You're up for the Fuentes? No I didn't get a Fuentes this year What kind of spic name is that?! So uh...
So he has the chops and so he finishes, that was the nutcracker. He goes after the guy and then to top it a little icing on the cake is at the end in this third part when he does these things in triples which is the way to go. He just throws some discrepant facts that confuse you further. They're all explainable, but the way he pieces them in and this is the third and last clip. It's just a bunch of rando things that are just oh yeah there's something wrong here we go. Before he was VP, he was a senator for two years before that he was never Trumper before that his name wasn't even Vance it was Hamel He didn't start going by Vance until 2014 who even is this guy?
So not only do they want us, okay this administration blows. Get ready to vote for the next one and we already have a nominee even though it's the first time in 16 years we're gonna have a wide open primary and it's gonna be this guy that no one even knows who he is and if you don't like that well your problem to be eliminated which is effectively what they've told me. Yeah its good yeah It's entertaining Oh, he's very entertaining. He is super entertaining and he's funny. He does bits. He does schtick. And the thing is that he's not wrong about Vance. He's not wrong about TPUSA and Tucker and others. Yeah, he's exactly right about well this was Peter Thiel's guy and of course we know that Peter Thiel was responsible for killing us I mean that's obvious you know Palantir, Palantir, Gaza, killing people
Even though we know how weak Palantir really is, stuff didn't really work. He doesn't have the North Sea Nexus down... No he needs that! He's got a kind of slickness to him and professionalism that is so high-end that it's as though he had some training, somebody trained him for... Somebody had to have trained him. I don't think so. You can be a natural and i've seen it but this guy is over the top when it comes to if he's a natural. Anyway. Definitely people should check him out Luckily the Algos picked up a new hero on the scene which I hope you saw because
You know, your algorithm on X is probably still crazy women. Yeah and now I'm getting a lot of cooking videos. Cheese! Just put some cheese... Oh look at that nice melted cheese. Everything. I've got fudge with cheese. You know, I'm beginning to think these are done by the dairy council Well, we have a new hero Nick Shirley. Nick Shirley was dominating the Algos for me at least and for Tina and for other people like I've seen this guy Nick Shirley goes around has been going around Minneapolis to all of the child care and health care facilities run by Somalians who are... Nick Shirley's not a new actor he's been doing this sort of thing for quite awhile That's not what i said. I said we have a new hero
He's a new hero. He's definitely... He is a new hero! Here is the, here is the... I mean... You know it's funny you say this because who just told me about Nick Shirley the same way that your like doing now to the audience? My wife Mimi calls Have you ever seen this guy Nick Shirley?! So it's like yes, he is a hero. A list of all of the healthcare companies loads of them right here we want health care Yes, would you like to speak about getting health care here? No no Why can't I get healthcare here? This is the strangest place I've ever been to get healthcare just a bunch
of different places. Healthcare here, healthcare right here another health care company right here there are three healthcare companies inside of this building right here in this room of 7C now we have another helping hands home care LLC another healthcare company present help right here We're looking for the best rates of healthcare here inside this building because we have so many options who can be talked about getting the best healthcare? No. Sorry Alright, we will not get any health care here David this is one of the stranger places I've ever been Literally healthcare every door you go to yet nobody will give you a rate How much money do think's been funneled through this building? Every year...I would say 50-60 million at least
This is what you wanted. No one's talking about this and of course the mainstream media still not talking about it It's astonishing to me that the mainstream media has avoided this topic like the plague Well, because it will make so many Democrats look bad That's the only thing I can come up with but I don't see any other reason for them besides the fact that Trump...you know whatever The quad screens are all Trump and Zelensky this morning I have clips. I'm getting close to my, I'm going to be able to do Zelensky really? You want to give it a shot you want to get no, I know because there's one of those things that's funny about trying to do voices. You do the same thing with your uh, is that you need a trigger and is in the, my triggers are phrase that I'd lost any copy of it. What's the phrase that pays John
I can't remember if I hear it, I can do it and go right into it. But I can't so this is coming for the 2026 season. So I have a couple of different outlets regarding the strike on Nigeria all of them get one thing right none of them have the full story which is not really surprising of course Let's start with the BBC. President Trump has been making some bold claims following the Christmas Day strikes against the Islamic State group in northwest Nigeria like the attacks on Iran's nuclear sites earlier this year Mr. Trump has declared that the US military has decimated its targets, in this case IS camps
It's not yet clear how many people were killed, but US and Nigerian officials said that fighters were among the dead. The Nigerians said that there were no civilian casualties. Mr Trump told the Politico news website that the operation which was agreed with the Nigerian military was planned for Wednesday but he chose to delay by a day so he could give the IS fighters a Christmas present as he put it I love the Christmas present line. Here's NBC. Oh, Nat Pops! Yeah see BBC you're boring You gotta spice it up you got to get missile launches... ...you gotta get war sounds your reports are no good
Tonight, the first images of American missiles launching from a US Navy ship killing multiple Islamist militants in Nigeria according to the president who posted about the surprise Christmas Day attack after repeatedly warning terror groups that if the slaughter of Christians did not stop there would be hell to pay. And I'm going to jump into that one particular little sigh up in a moment. Nigeria's government now confirming it worked directly with the United States to carry out the mission, but the foreign minister also pushing back against President Trump's claim that Christians alone are being targeted by this Islamic State. This is not about religion. It is about Nigerians innocent civilians
and the wider region as a whole. The strikes come just one day after the president thanked US troops on Christmas Eve for last week's attack against ISIS in Syria. It was a big attack, and you really did a big job I know you will continue to Show no mercy. You can't show mercy because they show no mercy to us." In recent weeks, the U.S. military has launched strikes against ISIS targets in Nigeria, Syria and Somalia, seized oil tankers off Venezuela and earlier this year hit Iranian Revolutionary Guard positions inside Iran
Back in Florida, President Trump is expected to host President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday. The Ukrainian leader announcing today the two will discuss security guarantees and saying a US negotiated peace deal with Russia is now 90% ready even as the Kremlin continues to hammer Ukraine launching new strikes through Christmas. So every report was like this every single report was like well Trump said it was Christians that Nigerian said is not But they all missed what's really going on here. So first the SIOP, this has been going on for well over a year maybe longer. They're killing Christians in Nigeria! They're killing Christians in Nigeria I obviously was interested and when you go and look yeah they're actually killing more Muslims than Christians in Nigeria these so-called ISIS fighters
But when I saw the news of the strikes, let me see... The Northwest? Just off the top your head do you know where Boko Haram operates? The Northeast. Exactly! So why is he shooting missiles at the Northwest? Well the answer came to us with the gold price on Friday which skyrocketed along with silver but also you might want to take a look at lithium What what was bombed or what was targeted? Whatever you want to call it were the The rebel groups who are protecting the illegal mining operations Nigeria themselves hate this Because they're losing out on probably ten billion dollars a year easy On mining of gold and lithium, and who do you think buys all that golden lithium China
This is a move against China. This is a move against the rare earth's, there's a whole bunch of benefits one Christians go yeah Trump I'm sorry to tell you fellow brothers and sisters that's not the primary reason for this attack if the reason at all this is only about minerals and natural resources that Nigeria has that China is getting on the cheap it's it's it's to cut him off That's all but it is Complete gold mining and lithium, big on lithium. And I'm not quite sure exactly how silver fits into it but you know the silver has been kind of manipulated for 40-50 years i guess But that's what happened and you saw the spike in price right away So none of this has... No one is talking about it! I don't understand Are they all working for China? They don't want to say it? I think there is an element of that now as you mention
There are some Chinese influencers in the media, there's no doubt about that. And I will say this, I watched Al Jazeera's report on this and they said they did not...and they had three guys, one guy from the Council on Foreign Relations all black guys from Africa and all experts and they were pretty good. And he said, No it is bullcrap! This is religious He says, and the reason they're killing all the Muslims and the Christians and anybody else is because it's a Islamist group to two parts of the country. These Islamists mostly in that's that's that in this not to say it's not religious as bull crap. They also said that the Nigerian people were happy that the United States got involved and started bombing the place because and the government thought it was great and the government invited them to do it so that that kind
flies in the face of what everyone might want to think. But I think you're totally correct, totally! Hello? Hello he said it! What happened you can't argue! That's what we do and any chance we have to cut China off at the knees even though Trump doesn't get a lot of credit for it from from any corner. No, it's always a good thing and there was a second shoe that dropped on this one last second I have it here where was it? Now we'll find that
Hold on, let me just listen to CBS. Let's see what they had to say and do they have a Nat Pop? The US military fired more than a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at ISIS targets in Nigeria And why are they even calling him Isis I mean isn't that supposed to be in the savant I have no idea. This is just branding for some reason it's just oh yeah, that might be it. Yeah branding the US military fired more than a dozen Tomahawk cruise missiles at ISIS targets in Nigeria and the timing was deliberate President Trump told a radio interviewer they said hit him on Christmas day It'll be a Christmas present we had Isis
People are terrible, they're butchers. People could be seen carrying debris away from one target site The Pentagon's initial assessment indicated multiple ISIS militants were killed Trump warned last month the US would go into Nigeria with guns a-blazing if the government failed to protect Christians from ISIS attacks They're killing the Christians and killing them in very large numbers Not gonna allow that to happen But Nigeria denied those accusations. So far this year, nearly 12 thousand people have been killed. CBS News national security contributor Sam Vinograd. Violence by insurgent groups criminals and others in Nigeria doesn't just target Christians it also targets Muslims and where and when these strikes occur will certainly be scrutinized by analysts to see who
who exactly is hit and whether the violence stops. Nigeria's foreign minister said his government provided the US military with intelligence before the strikes. We have been working closely with the Americans, with other countries to combat terrorism, stop the death of innocent Nigerians. Both the U S and Nigeria have signaled more strikes could follow. All right so it's like a threefer You know, you get one. The Christians are happy? Yeah! I'm telling you Christian broadcast news... all of the Christian news outlets have been so jacked about this and I'm just saying no, sorry. Give me your three for an add-one to it Okay, so the next one is screw China out of
out of their resources, which they are not obtaining in a good way. I mean they are in effect sponsoring these groups and for these groups kidnapping girls which really happens more in the Northeast but they've kidnapped people from churches and from schools in the Northwest it's a business model It's been that way for decades Let's see anyone have any value there? Okay we're gonna kidnap them get some money So that's your two for the three four is the gold price, which I think benefits the whole stable coin strategy. Which is supposedly going to start around the second week of January and I think maybe a fourth
Am I at three or four yet? You're at three. So somehow silver, the silver thing is funny because it completely screws everything particularly solar panels EVs the cheap EVs from China. Um, I saw like like the prices in the U S were $79 that close on Friday but in Shanghai $85 they're so desperate And just everyone's trying to get silver all of a sudden. Do you have any view on that? No, not at all but I'll tell you the other little extra bonus is by sending those missiles into that area they get to soften up the soil a little bit making it easier for better mining. It'd be easier to mine
Yeah, that's it. Two extra missiles right here? Yeah yeah exactly. It could cost more than dynamite but it's at the US taxpayers expense But the lithium man you know watch the lithium prices So it's an interesting time. There are a lot of interesting things happening, but no one is reporting on it properly! It's almost like the... They're not even reporting on the Somali scammers in Minnesota. They don't report anything. The media is shot! I tried really hard looking for... let me see where do I have it here?
looking for anything about the redacted documents from the Epstein files. And as far as I could tell, I could not find a single M5M resource news report that gave us this. This is just a 30-second YouTuber telling us... I'm at justice.gov where all the Epstein files are being held and there's a lot of different files that have been redacted so you can go ahead and scroll down to get to a redacted area here's a redacted area right here guess what if you want to look at these files all you got to do is copy it and paste it into Microsoft Word and guess what
all the files are unredacted. There it is! So go back to justice.org, find all those files and start un-redacting before they figure out how to stop you So no one is reporting on that and it works? It's been reported on Fox. I heard it Oh you did well, I have a feeling we still have a number of these reporters who are part of the agency and they're not allowed to look at these documents... I think your dead-on Wow! What is going on here?! Totally! Its Christmas after Christmas so here this we got into a conversation at the dinner table about this
You know, everybody's an expert. So Jaycee says well it was because they were... Because when the Doge guys came in and they fired a bunch of people and they canceled a bunch of software licenses this would be the gossip mill. They canceled a bunch of software licenses and started using the free Adobe Acrobat instead of what you pay for which doesn't redact properly I like that theory, but no. My come back to that was and everybody nobody could argue against it which is you so you don't think they did this on purpose? Boom! Exactly. I think you're right of course they did this on purpose Of course That was the whole point Absolutely
Everyone's like, they're so stupid. No they're not! They are so stupid it is the way to play it That's perfect yes and you get all kinds of extra info and extra ditties that show up And most of them useless by the way Stuff that I've seen unredacted as junk And then my favorite story More than 1 million files More files potentially related to dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein have just surfaced according to the Justice Department. I love the term, dead pedophile somehow that just... The Dead Pedophile! Oh, I didn't pick up on that. It used to be financier now it's the dead pedophile.
And the FBI may take, quote, a few more weeks to comb through and release to the public as the department scrambles to find more volunteer prosecutors over the holidays to help redact the newly discovered files. Now remember by law, the Justice Department was supposed to release everything it It had a week ago today. So far we've seen tens of thousands of documents over a few sporadic releases, including pictures of former President Bill Clinton emails that mentioned Donald Trump's name on the Epstein jet flight log and an FBI email exchange that indicates there are 10 other co-conspirators. President Trump weighed in with another stim winding Christmas tirade saying he quote
was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. Trump added the Democrats and some Republicans who pushed for the release will see their quote friends mostly innocent will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished he then signed off with enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas starting off I'm sorry that's just a very interesting way in that no he means its hello idiots Yes, absolutely. And these new documents I have a feeling they'll also be copyable just you know...I like JC's theory that it's cute but they didn't want to pay for this use the free Adobe version yeah that's not how government works at all they paid the extra super premium plus! They do! They throw money away
This was uncovered though, I didn't hear about this. This is from the Canadian broadcast news... Two years after Canadian Peter Nygaard was convicted on four counts of sexual assault the former fashion mogul is making headlines again named in documents released by American officials as it discloses more files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Peter Nygaard's name appeared in an April 2020 letter sent by the Department of Justice to authorities in UK seeking seeking to interview the man previously known as Prince Andrew. The letter reads in part, the investigation has revealed that on at least one occasion, Prince Andrew traveled to Nygard Key in the Bahamas.
Yeah, this gets interesting. A location where Nygaard is believed to have trafficked minor and adult female victims. I've counseled over around 50 survivors of Peter Nygaard in the last five years and some of them had certainly mentioned seeing him at seeing a former Prince Andrew at Nygaard Quay in the Bahamas, so I wasn't surprised. Two other Canadian women appear in FBI intake documents accused of grooming potential victims though not by name identified only as a Serbian-Canadian lingerie model and a French Canadian aspiring model Any piece of evidence has to be confirmed you can't assume it to be true You can we don't have a conclusion for instance that the president was involved directly in Epstein's crime
crimes, but there's suspicion and that's how investigations work. The latest release of 30 thousand documents the most voluminous to date contained many mentions of the US president But did not link Trump to any of Epstein's crimes No So it doesn't we'll start with that guy who actually has been convicted had an had his own island Prince Andrew was at his island Hey, buddy strong let's go back to Trump jump jump jump Meanwhile, there's actual work being done on actual pedophiles. Yeah, in fact I can't even say some of this stuff on television. I'm holding up three of the criminal complaints against three very prominent a doctor a lawyer and a psychotherapist all from the Metro to jail. Why am i yelling? Well why not but they got caught up in an FBI sting that actually got them arrested in Toledo! And what they
what they found when they raided their houses. 155 images of child porn, including movies and pictures of the most disgusting things that you really can think of and there may very well be more now two of a three were in court today. You know, the little neuro linguistic programming thing you just heard? Which one they're made very well. Oh yeah. Well, there's some... he has... But it's not that's how what he was saying is this is there may be very well there maybe more. Yes I mean but you heard was they were made well Oh let me listen again
things that you really can think of and they're made very well. Oh I see, you're thinking high quality! High quality is what he's saying that's the neuro linguistic programming message Wow. Now two of the three were in court today in federal court behind me for what was called a detention hearing meaning at the feds thought these people were so bad they should be denied bond one of them said okay I'll stay in jail the other one said We'll have a hearing. The judge said no, you're staying in jail Why? In part because some of the bad stuff that came out and this is and I'm really playing this just to make the point that Everyone yelling about Epstein they don't really care about the kids They just care about Trump or you know whoever's being blackmailed
They don't actually care about what's actually happening to toddlers. Toddlers! According to the criminal complaint, encrypted phone messages showed 45-year old Joshua Ronenbaum was an English teacher in Japan who invited 10 and 12 year olds to get naked with him and play with their... well you get the message The FBI seized his phone which showed 155 images including a toddler being sexually molested by an adult man numerous conversations discussing his sexual interest in children. And then Jeremy Brian Takom, 51 years old who lived at the same Palmer Woods address with Ronald Baum. The FBI seized his phone that contained an exchange with an undercover agent something like this...
to a motel and molest him. F yes brother, are you free tomorrow? Any more clips? Six additional clips were sent showing an adult man sexually assaulting a toddler! And finally Lincoln Erickson Dr. Erickson is a medical doctor who lives in Farmington Hills the complaint indicates that he's currently on probation for domestic violence for an incident in 2024. His phone indicates he discussed plans to travel to Thailand, to sexually abuse children and the details about his friend who is a father to a three-year old who Erickson allegedly sexually abused forcing the three year old to perform a sex act." Where is the outrage? There's no outrage over this! Where's the story I never heard any of this just came out
Yeah, no because it's all bullcrap. People are like, you don't care! You just are sucked up into a swirling pool of poop of innuendo and QAnon... Because it was really Q that started this if I recall And it was the Democrats, it was all Democrats and they were sending kids in wayfared boxes and kids, kids, kids everything. Kids in ways... that's right yeah I forgot about that one But when actual horrible crime these guys should be killed Right just did you do it yet? Dead! Dead no I have no problem saying that but now that's not the game Israel, Mossad What ever happened to Nambla
They're probably still around. Nope, I haven't looked them up now they folded but they did yep Well then you know then you know what happened? Yeah that became Democrat Party members Sorry It's the best I could do all right I'm gonna do one little quick series here just because I predicted it however He hasn't quite said the phrase yet But we knew they were coming. The president saying the collection of ships is called the Golden Fleet and will become the quote flagship of the American naval fleet now The Navy has created a website named after the fleet it gives people the opportunity to look at specs of the ships as you know, We're desperately in need of ships our ships are some of them have gotten old and tired
obsolete and we're going to go the exact opposite direction. The website states the ships will be up to 880 feet long, reach over 30 knots and require a crew of anywhere from 650-850 people. The ships will also have hypersonic weapons state-of-the art electric rail guns in high powered lasers US Senator Mark Warner says he disagrees with the project The one thing the Navy had decided it didn't need more big ships because of the threats from drones. It needed more small, mobile faster deployable ships." Some Navy officials have estimated the first ship will cost $10 billion to design and build. It's a price tag retired Navy Admiral and founder of the National Security Leaders for America Michael Smith tells 13 News Now the Navy can't afford. I just don't know how he is going to be able to pay for it.
If the first part of that sentence was, I'm committed to doubling the Navy's budget and delivering the Golden Fleet. I think that would have been a realistic first statement to make." The president has also told reporters he expects the first ships to be built in the next two and a half years, Smith also calls that timeline unrealistic. My concern is with this president you have to deliver in the time he's saying and so there are going to be so many mistakes made no it's not about mistakes it's about one big huge corrupt business known as the military industrial complex
who somehow the lawmakers and money spenders, who hold the purse strings decided to give even more to the military-industrial complex than President Trump even wanted. So it's now up to just shy of a trillion dollars but here is what the president also said which of course didn't make the news. We'll be discussing The pay to executives where they're making $45 and 50 million a year, and not being able to build quickly. They're gonna make that kind of money they have to build quickly again we make the best equipment in the world but they don't make them fast enough And we are going also be discussing dividends We want the dividends go into the creation of production facilities So will be talking about all CapEx dividends and the pay
We're also going to be talking about buybacks. They spend so much money on buybacks, they want to buy back their stock I don't want them to buy back their stock! I want them to put the money in plant and equipment So that can build these planes fast rapidly like immediately Yeah exactly stop with your buybacks Stop enriching people like yourselves And get down to business There was a substacker that's an ex-spook. He went on about this... Isn't that the oxymoron? Substacker and spook? Maybe, close to it. And he made the assertion that they're just—they've decided just now they're not going do any of this. They're gonna keep pocketing the money as best they can, and they're gonna just wait out Trump three years, and they're not gonna build one ship you never see a ship out at his deal
Well, we'll see. You know he's doing the same with the insurance companies He had another stand up with all the drug manufacturers gonna make them cheap gonna make him cheaper It'll be cheaper for us but it won't be $88 But I guess it's gonna have to even out between other countries But then another thing that wasn't really discussed was this. big insurance companies that have gotten so rich by receiving money and really much far far more money than they're entitled to And I have a feeling maybe if they would act like these incredible brilliant responsible citizens behind me
People that love our country and they love the world. I mean frankly, they love these are international companies for the most part I'm gonna call a meeting of the insurance companies I'm gonna see if they get their price down to put it very bluntly And I think that is a very big statement and what happened here is the biggest statement of all because nobody thought A thing like this was possible So where are all the Luigi fans? Yeah, this is great This is what Luigi's going to jail for No, no. Nick Fuentes is great! Candace... she's just asking questions. That's the best part yet. Just asking questions. No, Zuma Vuffin you are welcome here at The NO Agenda Show we'll help you understand what's really going on in your world the information is out there You're just being lured away by shiny objects trinkets to go and watch something else
And that's something else in the two instances you mentioned, Fuentes and Owens. They're long talkers! Yes Those are hours and hours a day it's unbelievable You can really chew up a lot of your time But again it's the clips It's all about the clips I don't think i've ever watched the full Fuentes episode. Is he on YouTube only? I don't know No, no Rumble But I see the clips You know that's funny because...I've only watched full episodes and never seen the clips I watch the full episodes to look for the um or uh Yeah it's not there Not there It's just horrifying how good he is
So that's why I call on the Zuma Waffen. You are good here, we'll take care of you don't worry This is where you want to be listen to your uncles but you can learn something now Let's play I have a couple series here there kind of interesting They're they're going out of their way it seems the powers-that-be and in this case NPR just start Trying to reconstruct in advance of Trump getting kicked out or or didn't trump Three years from now or whenever is it the rebuild USAID? Yeah, this is They were get weren't they getting money from USA ID as well I'm sure there's some backdoor from USAID to end. Oh absolutely has to be yeah But but but the USAID is a money laundering operation
a worldwide money laundering operation for everybody, for the intelligence agencies. Mainly and then it goes to the NGOs. That's where the laundering takes place yeah so they're going to go out of their way now in PR to try Turn the ship around and show what a bad idea this was, and everything in between. Here we go with the USAID... Wait wait before we start have we seen any is Africa now dead of AIDS? According to this report yeah! Okay I'm sorry stand corrected. It's been a cataclysmic year in global... Hey hey hey
You keep doing this. I have a code, see npr-ss? Okay well alright you have a good point there i didn't recognize the code Suffer and suck attach! I'm Scott Simon It's been a cataclysmic year in global hell In January the Trump administration for Did he say in global hell Yeah, this is the leverage they're going to use to promote USAID. Wait, wait... Global health or global hell? It sounded like he said global hell! He says it fine yeah, he screws it up you're right. Global Hell! In a cataclysmic year in global hell. In January the Trump administration for his billions of dollars in foreign assistance funds
Then it dismantled the United States Agency for International Development. These actions had ripple effects all around the world and changed how the U.S. approaches foreign aid. NPR Global Health correspondent Fatma Tanas has been covering this story for the past year, joins us in her studio. Fatma thanks so much for being with us. Thanks for having me Scott. Take us back to the beginning of 2025 How did this shake up to USAID programs begin? Well, it was really chaotic. He switches here to USAID? I love that! Oh, I missed it! Good catch! Well done! Oh yes, oh yeah... USAID to- USAID... Take us back to the beginning of 2025 How did this shakeup to USAID programs begin?
Well, it was really chaotic. Scott hundreds of agency staff were put on leave the USAID website was taken down in the middle of a night on a Saturday and thousands of programs that provided critical health services and poverty solutions and more were terminated And this all happened within a matter of a few weeks I wanted the administration to hey What are poverty solutions? I like that Poverty solutions. Poverty solution? Alcohol? Poverty solutions, I'd like to be in charge of that department
That was the end of that clip yeah, it ended funny. But that was the unit did and funny It's my there was something I did wrong okay? Well let's go on to clip two and why did the administration do you know foreign aid has historically had? Yeah, he brings it what did the administration Do it is a funny ending it didn't make any sense And he drops it in this is whether the administration dude do she never really says when he asks it again That's a very screwy report. I'm sorry, I could have done a better job of segueing it and play it on And why did the administration do this? You know foreign aid has historically had bipartisan support It saves lives and has been generally seen as a waste Saved or created for America to wield influence and build goodwill but the Trump administration
administration saw it differently that the way America was doing foreign aid was ineffective and wasteful. USAID in particular, was viewed as far left and irredeemable its programs that provided support for LGBTQ people or reproductive health and climate solutions were seen as part of a woke... She just did a woke lineup of epic proportion I just need to hear that again. Redeemable, it's programs that provided support for LGBTQ people Support for LGBTQ people or reproductive health Reproductive health read abortions and climate solutions Climate solutions which i think is part of poverty solutions this is wonderful Yes its a liquid Great Seen as part of a woke agenda that taxpayers shouldn't be funding
Here's Max Primerack with the Conservative Heritage Foundation. He previously held several senior roles at USAID. A lot of the aid programs that we were doing were not always tied to our foreign policy objectives and by subsuming the aid agencies, you can better align with our national interests and also with our values. So the administration shut down USAID and moved a handful of parts they wanted to keep like humanitarian relief and a few hundred staff under the State Department. Let's talk about the effects, Secretary of State Rubio said in May that no one died as a result of the cuts is that true? Unfortunately No NPR interviewed a mother in Nigeria her son had sickle cell anemia and he began running a fever but the clinic that they usually went to funded by USAID had been closed and the boy died the next day okay
So tell me she has a few more examples than one boy with sickle cell anemia. She's got another example, but this is when that... In Nigeria. ...in Nigeria because of the cruelty—this is by the way a big theme for Trump they like to use the word cruel—it's cruel—the cruelty of Trump has resulted in a boy in Nigeria… By the way there are homeless all over San Francisco they're dropping dead on the streets in Los Angeles we have shootings in Oakland but
There's a boy in Nigeria who died because of Trump's cruelty. Yes, wow. That's the troll room! I want to see the death certificate we want proof you know the funny thing that the troll room brought up it actually may be bullcrap yeah Anyway, she has another example coming up. Okay and the boy died the next day a doctor who treated the child before said he would have likely survived if he had received care We also know that many people lost access to drugs that treated diseases like HIV AIDS and in countries torn by conflict many malnourished children lost access to therapeutic protein-filled foods
But we don't know the full scale of lives lost and that's because aid groups are no longer on the ground able to track what is going on. You went to Uganda, to report how people There we're trying to live with the cuts. What did you see? Well, the LGBTQ people are in trouble Yeah I was there in August and you know locals and officials were still grappling with the ripple effects not just on health care but local economies too because so many people lost their jobs with aid groups In one rural area in southwest Uganda, we learned that there were only four ambulances for the 200,000 people who lived there compared to eight ambulances before. And that's because the U.S was funding the drivers and fuel for those ambulances. Well... What? America first people! Where is my America first people cheering on the nonsense that we were funding?!
So, so they were it was our fault the cruelty of Trump that four ambulances in Uganda are no longer no longer have to add their ambulances must still be there. They didn't dissolve but there's four ambulances there but they don't have a driver because nobody can afford to pay the driver and they can't afford the fuel without arm without US taxpayers money does this our country? I need to reiterate that the international arms dealer, my friend here in Fredericksburg. That he has an ongoing pipeline of C-130 aircraft that the US government sells to Uganda They're not cheap Certainly a couple of ambulances worth and they any has to keep supplying them because they all learn how to fly on YouTube
So how is it our fault? It's true. It's true, I keep crashing into hangars and stuff. Oh jeez! I learned how to fly on YouTube Yeah but no, no no no it's Trumps cruelty that stopped the they only have four ambulances its their own decisions that they're making To buy aircraft and train their pilots on YouTube So it's Trumps fault, yadda yadda yeah. So the USAID I think there was another clip left? Yeah that was the fourth clip. Fourth clip. It wraps it. It's just one example of how thorough and extensive USAID used to be. She did it!
Let's hear that again. It's just one example of how thorough and extensive USAID used to be it's so thorough and extensive How many hundreds of billions of dollars did we stop flowing from USAID? I can't remember the numbers a big number big number So Fatma, what does the future of us foreign aid look like? It's looking different. Instead of funding aid organizations to do health work around the world, the administration is now working directly with governments and faith-based groups. Their focus so far has been on Africa. The State Department announced several agreements with nine African countries in In
The challenge is going to be doing more with less as millions of lives could be on the line. And Piers McTannis, thanks so much. Thank you. Thanks so much. Millions of lives! Millions of lives... Well Rubio came out and said he said we're not gonna fund NGOs anymore that's ridiculous because he knows and certainly the State Department knows. It doesn't take a genius to figure this that these guys are just taking us through. No but we're gonna help you out we're gonna give you global health Hell. He said global hell, I'm sticking with it. We'll give you global hell but we want some minerals which is a much better deal than the Chinese are giving you. Much better so we can build more AI chips for the data centers. Speaking of... So we had that MIT scientist who was killed
And somehow the guy who did the Brown shootings was blamed for it. Although, have you seen any photographic or video evidence that he was there? That he did that? It feels just like... I don't know something is off with that. Yeah, I'd say so. So the MIT scientist was working with... Oh, I have the name of the company somewhere It's a fusion guy. Fusion guy, yes but it was one of the three main companies that are poised to supposedly provide a fusion reactor... I think you used the right word. Supposedly? Yeah yeah this is quantum computing
This is in the same league as quantum computing, the way I see it. Well i watched a couple of videos on these companies... Yeah the videos are great! The video- It works terrific in a video! This technology, its killer! Well we got this announcement on pretty much the same day Tonight President Trump predicting pricing Oh im sorry that's not the one Oops How did I... wait, wait. It's here this is the one This is Devin Nunes who was the CEO of Trump Media which just did a big merger Yes! Now, I spent a lot of time in Congress working on nuclear power unfortunately legislation that I proposed you know 20 years ago didn't pass because the congress decided that they should invest in windmills and solar panels however there was a company called TAE the one we're merging with
So, that actually continue to invest. So families like Chuck Schwab's family, investors like Stanley Druckenmiller, Google, Chevron many others continued to invest in TAE so this is private money not government money but for a quarter century they've amassed the best scientists that the world has to offer and they've produced enough there on their... They built five generations of the reactor And now we're stepping in, folding them into our company so that we can help them build their first reactor. So this is a fusion reactor it's clean. It's one that can the first one will be up to 50 megawatts The future ones will be somewhere between 350 to 500 Now what does that mean? That means these are big enough to replace pretty much or add to the existing power generation that we have in this country. It's a good size
Now look, this is technology. When this is done and I don't say this lightly This will be the most important discovery in invention since the first Manhattan Project So the professor was working... Wait wait wait what was the second Manhattan project? Well this will be the second Manhattan project Oh, I see what you're saying. I don't know it's Nunes so Loureiro was working with Commonwealth Fusion Systems to build Spark.
And Spark is supposed to start operations in 2026. I just can't get beyond the coincidence of this guy getting iced. Yeah, I can't either! There's also a system being put... A plant being built right now in Washington State for Microsoft using yet another fusion trick technology supposedly that supposedly works, supposedly-supposedly that uses helium-3 and deuterium somehow, and it causes the people who say look at the... I did a lot of reading on this. Well so the idea as i understand it The idea is that you can almost pretty much use salt water seawater And then helium comes out of it You can use the helium to create steam ummm....and
And in the video that I watched, the TAA video they're saying oh no we can convert that straight to electricity somehow. Uh-huh. No, whatever you said was just nonsense Well I'm just telling you it was in the video Yeah the videos nonsense then if it talks about turning seawater using sea water because you can get some helium out of It's almost getting helium 3 is a pain in the ass apparently and then any of the deuterium Fusion reactors supposedly as again You know you've just should listen. I'm just reading what the critics say that The problem with deuterium is that yeah, it will fuse with helium-3 and form a 90 million degree temperature for a small amount of time. But deuterium also fuses with deuterium and when it does that, a bunch of neutrons are released and now you have a radiation problem and the neutron release in the reactor will just melt the reactor, the whole thing's a disaster. It seems this technology has not been proven
to work anywhere. And it's really cool the way they contain plasma in a tube and the plasma has to spin around, and the problem is keeping the plasma in there... Oh yeah! The guy that got killed at MIT what was his specialty? Plasma. Plasma. Mm-hmm So there's one other company out there I think it's ZAP Who would do the Z-pinch? I think there's one more scientist who has to die. for the theory to be, I have a feeling that they may be closer than we think or than we think is possible. And yes, the fusion has been talked about for a long time. Forever! Somehow I feel it's more likely this is happening then quantum which you might have noticed is everywhere now
The pivot to quantum is happening and I predicted it would happen, which means AI is just not panning out the way they expected it to. Well by panning out you mean profitable? Well, how about productive-wise? It's not productive. It's productive for social media it's great for newsletters and for art and funny videos but it's not panned out to be productive in the workplace No! Not at all And it's not profitable In fact its counterproductive if you think about what you just said How about this let's just break it down maybe
Maybe this is just the next hype that they're kick-starting. Because why else? It was like, oh Trump you know he's... He's a conflict of interest with the data centers! Yeah it's his kids running it I guess Nunes what doesn't matter who's running it This will just be the next thing because what is the power, what is the problem with AI right now? It's power. So as long as everyone's out... Oh we're almost there! 2026! Oh it could be a little glitch, 2027 this could be an enormous addition to the GDP now that we're kind of you know the data center deals are starting to slow down The big guys with the money are like
We don't want to put any more money into data centers, hyperscalers which is another word for builders of data centers. This could just be the next hype you know just to keep the train rolling we have to keep it rolling AI is now 90% of our GDP That's not true. Well, that sure seems like it! 90% of the mind share maybe? That and GLP-1 I mean that's all we have we have AI and Ozempic welcome to America. And Apple phones That's about it. But I mean, I'm hopeful because it would be fantastic! Think about the changes that would happen if Fusion actually came about. How about showing me one example of where it works at all? Well on the video you can see... You could see it on the video. Actually was like a 45 minute video from the company itself not once did they show he is working look at that look at the meter before
Look at the power coming out. They didn't show that at all in 45 minutes of talking about their product So that's because it doesn't work could it work. I mean, it might work someday Somebody might come up with a good idea or something What is the main problem with this? It costs more energy to get it to get going then it delivers No Okay Cuz you got us you gotta fire up the plasma Tron The plasma that is you gotta control this and that cost money to extract H3 when the case of the helium ones it cause
cost money to get the deuterium, that's not doesn't come in you know by it's not bottled by Coca-Cola. I mean it's something you have to develop how do you make that? I have no idea, but it's not cheap. That costs money and it costs money for the other stuff. It costs money to get the plasma going, cost money to build a plant and then when you turn on the power so it creates power, it costs more money than its worth! That is the problem – it's negative. Its got negative numbers all over the place So it's a loser until somebody figures something out and they haven't done it Oh well… back to zero point energy I guess
I just can't get beyond it. That guy getting killed the minute this TAE merger takes place, folded them in—which i don't like that term, I'm not sure what you're talking about—but Trump media is for one thing and one thing only. It's a money-gobbling machine It's just being on me whether you well, yeah. You know what you're doing? He got some good creative bookkeepers and he had a few other guys Five salesmen and two creative bookkeepers and you gotta come to make billions it's it's in a creative acquisition That's why I have to say at Wall Street. It's a creative Oh really yes is a creative to the balance sheet
The good news is we have the best producers in the universe. No doubt, we have someone out there working infusion who can give us a straight answer and details on what's really happening. We probably do have somebody working with infusions Of course we do! And you're going to say the same thing? Well... We wish Yeah, yeah. So it's not a good idea if more goes into it It would be a great thing where you get it to work Yeah, yeah Hmm okay well that's disappointing Well I just... I may be completely wrong and maybe out of touch But they didn't have to kill the guy then If it doesn't work someone believes it works How about that? There's Devin Nunes I'm sure is like oh yeah That's gonna work Well someone believes quantum computing works
Yeah, no you're right about that. Some people believe and maybe you know what? Maybe that guy was the guy I'm talking about who needs to he has the little one piece of knowledge that would make it work. And so that's the guy you want to kill to keep it from ever coming to fruition because you're there because you're the oil companies. Yeah. The one I loved the most is the quantum computing people Quantum's gonna break Bitcoin. Like, um... okay? Which, bitcoin is not encrypted it's your wallet that's encrypted but if quantum can decrypt bitcoin wallets you got a much bigger problem on your hands because they can decrypt your bank login everything it's the same encryption no no this is just gonna quantum's gonna do all that okay
Alright, alright. We'll just have to wait for it then I don't know why that became an important element of quantum Oh! It's the people who are short Bitcoin Hello? Maybe that...I don't know what is is It's easy But it's a something...it'll solve some sort of problem that no one can solve What, quantum? Not sure what the real appeal of quantum is. Oh! I can tell you exactly what it is It's going to give you the right ad at the right time for the right product That's always been the sell Or its gonna tell you that milk in your fridge is out and will order it for you automatically Yeah... Call a repairman So I just want talk about Europe with Ukraine since we do have Zelensky now at Mar-a-Lago
We have a couple of things here. It's just a little catch up from NBC in the Ukrainian capital, the sound of drones once again buzzing across the night sky as Russian strikes pounded keys, killing at least one person and injuring more than 20 according to Ukrainian officials Russia launching a massive barrage of more than 500 drones and missiles just hours before the Ukrainian leader is set to meet with President Trump in Florida. On his way to the US, Zelensky's stopping in Canada for meeting with Prime Minister Carney. Tomorrow I will have a very important and constructive meeting with President Trump
Peace talks are slowly inching forward. The Nat Pops are great! Constructive meetings with President Trump. Peace talks are slowly inching forward... Are they shooting it up in the Oval Office? No, no it's in Canada right there in Carney's office he's shooting it up there. Oh they're shooting it up at Carney's office? Yeah. A very important and a very constructive meeting with President Trump These talks are slowly inching forward. The main sticking point remains territory, Moscow is looking for full control of the Donbass region in the east Vladimir Putin saying tonight that if Ukraine doesn't want to resolve the conflict peacefully then Russia would resolve all its goals by force
Zelensky has said any compromises on territory should be decided by the Ukrainian people in a vote and that his country needs US security guarantees in any peace deal. Trump telling Politico on Friday, the Ukrainian leader doesn't have anything until I approve it Back in Ukraine, another day spent sifting through debris. We are begging the whole world says this woman let there be an end to all this for the sake of our children So I thought it was interesting that first Zelensky's coming tomorrow Lago and then all of a sudden you know over the weekend well he's gonna stop off in Canada And I should mention something because I followed at least five or six of these reports and they all go out of their way
to mention the stop off in Canada. Oh, and it wasn't just a talk with Carney. No it was to talk to some other stooges from representative Europe and there was a meeting this was a pre-meeting meeting yes okay what do I need to know here? I gotta deal with Trump again tiny dancer here's what you do we're gonna tell you exactly what to do let's get the true analysis from our guy Andrew Rasulis, he's our guy. He's our guy. Okay. Andrew Rasulis and we'll talk first about the stop in Canada. Our thoughts on that at least the initial press conference with Carney and Zelensky it was quick
Yeah, difficult times. I mean and sort of fast-moving time so the main event will be tomorrow of course in Florida at Mar-a-Lago when Zelensky meets Trump to kind of finalize the sort of Ukrainian slash European proposal that they're going to give to Trump and if Trump likes it he'll give it to the Russians and we go there The Halifax meeting is a stopover It's important. It's a coordinating meeting between Canada and also the European Union. That's also being held with the Coalition of the Willing, which is being held right now on video
So it's important, but it is a stepstone to the main event tomorrow afternoon. And of course the question is whatever the coalition of the willing come up with will they uh... will the Russians accept it? So this essentially these two meetings just get everybody on the same page before they hear from Trump Yeah that fine tuning its actually to give Zelensky more backing as he goes to see Trump at Mar-a-Lago and you know Trumps not going be an easy sell Trump has already said that he's going to look at what Zelensky gives him, but if he doesn't like it, he's not signing off on it. So that's the kind of atmosphere that Zelensky is walking into
And then even beyond that, are there any odds that Russia will say yes to this? No. I mean the odds are they will say no! They will negotiate maybe but they will say no. There's a lot of things in this thing like about the Russians pulling back from the Donetsk area equal amounts of Ukrainians I doubt the Ukrainians will accept that one. And there's a lot of the uncertainties about the coalition, the willing in terms of guarantees. Will that mean legally Article 5 type? But what would it mean troops on the ground in Ukraine
That part, if it's in the package and we haven't seen the full package I would think the Russians would be very opposed to that part. So all i'm trying to say is that there are a lot of things the Russians have said they will be constructive. That means they will probably counter-propose something as opposed to just shut it down." I love the whole Article 5 like guarantees It's like well this is almost like a Bentley It's not quite it. It's like a Bentley. Yes, I guess article 5 like Guarantees which already? I think it's article 6 says you know yeah We is an at article 5 says and attack on one as attack on all I think its article six that says And then if you want you can do something about it It's not a given so even it'll be less than a given by calling it article five like and meanwhile Canada
More of your tax money. Yeah, it's going to international funds like the IMF and the World Bank and others. Canada is not a direct transfer to Ukrainians And I think that's actually wise given that Ukraine is going through a lot of corruption issues right now So there are questions where's the money going inside Ukraine? But also I think that there's another question is you know what's Canada gonna get back for this? Canada has poured in quite a lot
many billions in terms of your Ukraine's economic situation. So is Canadian industry going to benefit by this no longer term? Because Ukraine is on the precipice of bankruptcy, the European Union bailed them out with a two-year loan that but they were gonna go bankrupt in April so these things have to be watched very carefully I think. So the bank loan from the frozen Russian assets seen internationally as theft resulted in the Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Waver, who of course you know he said hey you can't really do this. This is a problem you have to give us article 5 like guarantees so Russia doesn't come over here and kill us all for taking the money
Well, he just stepped it up. He said this is such a good deal we won! The immobilized assets will be kept immobilized and will ultimately be used to repair the damage Russia has caused through its unprovoked and unjustified war against Ukraine I think nobody in the European family wants to see that money returned to Moscow but they're gonna return to the original philosophy It is going to be used to repair the damage that Russia has caused in Ukraine. So I think Ukraine has won, they have their finance and they still have the perspective of getting reparation money. I think Europe has won... Perspective! ...and financial stability
has certainly won. We've all won! Ukraine won, Europe won... It's a win-win. Now I'm going to play two clips from Yanis Varoufakis I know you don't like that guy. We haven't heard about him for a while Well, he's been doing his own podcast soliloquy style where he is really reading his own script off camera which looks kind of odd But... I always find that creepy Oh yeah it's uh... Get a prompter! Stop for one second So, off-camera reads. I don't even know when they became popular but they started showing up in maybe the late 80s and then became more and more used Alex Jones uses them a little bit Candace Owens does it You mean it's the second shot? It's the shot where you see someone reading but you see from the side And I call it an off camera read Who are they reading to
They're reading to the other camera, which is the one that represents the audience. But so we're now seeing him as a third party, an interloper from the side I find it disturbing! I don't like it! That's art John! Either talk to me... It's Art! That's the problem that what they think it is, its art If you are talking to ME on camera I want you talking to ME not over to the left Well, over some guy's over where's that who she talking to? Well that ship has sailed. That sailed with the Dutch windmill tilt and with a jump cut which are all pioneered in the 80s and 90s primarily by MTV so...and then Z Frank
Z Frank, remember? Z Frank. Zay Frank. Z Frank. And they usually... When you're in a studio they always called it exactly what you say Dutching the camera Yes or they say you shooting over the axis All of the things we learned in film school have been just cast aside Anyway he's not reading off-camera the way you describe He's just, his camera is next to his monitor instead of where it should be right in front of his monitor. Okay I got it alright I'm sorry I got carried away with my complaint we have been wanting to get it off my chest Your complaint has been registered Then we will send it to the Austin Film School. Yes, please do that! So Yanis does know a lot about European finance because he was the Finance Minister and later Prime Minister of Greece when the International Monetary Fund screwed them over into severe austerity. Zuma Ravafan listen up! We've been around this happened when you were three
But it was bad news in Greece, it was really really bad. This is how the international finance system works." So he gives us a little rundown of the retaliation that Russia, the retaliatory measures, as you would say, that Russia has taken against the EU And trust me when I say you haven't heard this anywhere, and it's quite severe. Russia announced that all remaining energy exports to Europe... Oops! I'm sorry start with this one first Within 48 hours Russia announced the nationalization of all European corporate assets on Russian territory BP's stake in Rosneft 14 billion dollars gone nationalized Shell's Russian operations 3 billion dollars seized
Total energies projects, $4 billion. Confiscated. Societe Generale's banking operations taken over. German automotive plants Volkswagen BMW Mercedes facilities worth billions nationalized pharmaceutical operations food processing facilities retail chains infrastructure projects intellectual property. Everything European companies owned in Russia was suddenly Russian state property, the total value exceeded $120 billion dollars more than the EU had seized. European boardrooms erupted in chaos shareholders demanded answers stock prices plummeted insurance companies faced massive claims but this was just the opening move didn't hear about that did you
We've won everybody! We're winners. Okay, clip of the day right there. Why do I not know this? I don't know... I know because the mainstream media They've stopped doing their job. A long time ago, before we even started... Well at least 18 years ago when we started this show it already was 10 years past due! Now listen to the second thing and I checked the exchange rate and it checks out Russia announced that all remaining energy exports to Europe would now be priced exclusively in rubles or yuan no euros accepted This was different from previous energy threats
Russia wasn't cutting supply, that would hurt their own revenues. Instead they were forcing a currency choice. European countries that wanted Russian gas or oil had to acquire rubles or yuan first. This meant going through Russian or Chinese financial intermediaries, paying fees, accepting exchange rate risk, losing transparency on pricing. But the real impact was psychological and systemic by refusing euros Russia was making a statement your currency is no longer acceptable to us The euro, which Europeans assumed was a global reserve currency that anyone would accept was being rejected by a major commodity exporter.
This had cascading effects. Countries that needed Russian energy had to hold ruble reserves, this meant selling euros to buy rubles. Euro-selling pressure increased. The ruble which Western sanctions were supposed to destroy strengthened the currency that was supposed to be worthless became necessary for European energy security China benefited enormously countries buying Russian energy in Yuan had to acquire Yuan first. This accelerated Yuan internationalization at the expense of the euro The European Central Bank watched helplessly as energy importers dumped euros for rubles and yuan weakening the Euro and importing inflation through currency depreciation. Go look at the ruble USD or the ruble Euro chart
It happened exactly as he just said it. Boom, 40% up! Everyone's now got to buy rubles this is weakening the euro well it strengthened the ruble really in first case but the craziest thing and I got this from Sir Gene our Duke here in Texas that the whole Ukraine strategy or really the Russia strategy was written up in a single document by the Rand Corporation titled, Extending Russia Competing from Advantageous Ground. And I'm not going to read it yet...I'll put it on the show so people can look at it. I confirmed that it's still... What year? 2019 Okay It is still on their website just a couple of items from the
from the index, a table of contents. Let's see, hinder petroleum exports. Reduce natural gas exports. Hinder pipeline expansions. Impose sanctions. Enhance Russian brain drain. Provide lethal aid to Ukraine. Increase support to the Syrian rebels. Promote regime change in Belarus. Exploit tensions in the South Caucasus. Reduce Russian influence in Central Asia. Challenge Russian presence in Moldova. The whole thing! It's almost like they followed it step by step.
You know, and they're still trying it. Oh I got an idea! Guys Reuters this is a Reuters report i'm 99% certain that's an AI voice here read this And the Reuters exclusive has shown that Moscow is likely stationing new nuclear capable hypersonic ballistic missiles at a former airbase in eastern Belarus That's according to two US researchers who have been studying satellite imagery. It is a development that could bolster Russia's ability to deliver missiles across Europe. We're going to kill you! The Russians are coming, they're coming! They're coming! They're coming!
It's unbelievable. That is a good one! And the Europeans are like, yeah man hey Russia there's no good we gotta be careful. According to two randos who study satellite imagery give me a break. It's great it's fantastic I gotta love it gotta love it I think that's it for Europe. So the European companies... That is it for Europe? Yeah, this…I mean, I don't know how do you come back from this except first one you got to give the money back they have to give the money back there really counting on me we'll see what comes out of the Mar-a-Lago talks Nothing? Probably not sadly probably not
I just, I want you to get into whatever you wanna do next. But something happened a report came out from CBS. I have been predicting this for a long time and finally here it is ladies the free ride is over! And now you're telling me that you're going to charge me $11.99 or whatever it is, to return items? Are you out of your mind?" Hassle-free online returns may be a thing of the past. Most major retailers are now charging customers to return items even if they are unopened and in perfect condition
Who wants to lose money, especially not in this time and in this economy? $850 billion dollars. That's how much Americans will return to the stores this year nearly 20% of stuff we buy. That doesn't sound right 850 million I don't know about billion. 850 billion no $50 billion, that's how much Americans will return to the stores this year. Nearly 20% of the stuff we buy online just ends up in the return pile. Return fee? Macy's now charges 999 for mail-in returns. TJ Maxx and Marshalls charge 1199. Other stores including J Crew, Abercrombie & Fitch H&M and Zara all now charged fees between four and eight bucks
It can now cost as much as $45 to return certain electronics at Best Buy. Amazon, too has tightened its policy charging some customers unless they use its box-free in person drop off option Merchants now are under a tremendous amount of cost pressure. They're really trying to offset some of the costs that they face in returns by asking shoppers to share some of the burden. David Sobey co-founded his company, Happy Returns that uses these AI robots to help make returns easier. Is there any way to avoid these fees?
Well, the best way to avoid them is just to read the retailer's return policy before you check out in the first place. I've been seeing this coming down Broadway for a long time women in particular will order 15 items of clothing and return 10 11 that try mom now don't like it tried on now I don't like it then I've always said how can these stores accept that? It's just become shopping at home and now they're going to start charging return fees Well, this is basically what you would do at a retail store. Especially a woman she would go in and go to a dress rack and grab like seven dresses and go into this changing room and try all of them on yeah And then turn around look at herself and then go back
not buy any of them and then go take another seven in. And so they figured this is the same, this is the analog of doing that exact same thing but instead of being at the store where you're putting it back on the rack, you are having to go through this rigmarole. I don't know how they can put...I don't know how the system can work with that? It can't clearly But it's going to change behavior because I just see it everywhere. Oh no, Tina does that too! I told her this morning they start charging... What? Yeah and start charging for returns oh $9 so yeah yeah and I don't know if that's per item or per box that you ship. It is probably per item
Yeah. So that's going to end, that is going to bring people back to the mall! Back to brick and mortar! It's gonna change behavior you're right because it's too expensive or maybe order them like that but then return them in person I think that that's probably where they'll wind up return him in person so then you have to have a store to return them to can't do that with Amazon no they have their drop places there drop boxes According to that report. So yeah, they're gonna they're not gonna that's still gonna cost money They have to recharge you to drop it off in one of those little Cubicles at the grocery store I've seen those oh was that where you pick up your scratch offs?
Scratches sniff. What are you talking about scratch off your scratch-off lottery tickets man? You're scratching I've got you know, I have the same chance of winning whether or not I buy a ticket What is this untitled clip you have I love seeing those It's it's actually that's not a mistake. Is just a Just got into I should have taken it off. No, it doesn't mean anything Okay I do have an AmFest, kind of an interesting clip from this America First big meetup. It was during our show day off. Not America first it's the... America Fest. America Fest, yeah the big turning point USA that 35 40 thousand people were there? I heard 30 but it was a lot of people everybody showed up and it was like a big... Well everybody was mad we had
What's his face? Uh, what's the little weasel man? Um fast talker Ben Shapiro. Shapiro. Ben Shapiro calling people out. He supposedly bought his way in big controversy Oh yes a million dollars from the Jew money The shekels and he all he did is rag on Candace and everybody else and Tucker And I think there was a lot more going on at AmFest but those were the highlights I think you summarized it, but I thought that this little report which added a tidbit. I did not know and I thought it and I have to agree This is a woman British woman just called the war Rick Report she's one of these online She's up now she's more of a blogger than a podcaster or video blogger And she does she's very good at what? She doesn't show she gets in and out of these things as she went through this one and
And she found something at the, uh...at AmFest that is kind of disturbing. Are you ready for my AmFest recap? This is gonna piss a few people off I was not invited and I was not paid to go At the last minute I applied as independent media pulled a few strings made a few calls and got approved AmFest day two! I arrive and immediately feel the vibes are off Not only did it feel as if I'd walked into a tense blurry proxy war but attendees were looking each other up and down with suspicion. We all saw speakers like Ben Shapiro, Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly go after each other." Quite frankly that was rather embarrassing and the left are laughing at conservatives. Are you pro-America or pro-Israel? You'd think the answer was obvious. We were at AmericaFest, but the nuances were palpable. Several activities and events seemed in bad taste for example the tent replica yes there was a replica of the tent Charlie was publicly executed in for people to take selfies
What? Hmm. So there was a tent that was a replica of where Charlie was shot so you can go have us have a picture taken? What?! Well, that may just be their standard TPUSA tent. That's maybe just how she's categorizing it I don't know Look let's face one thing
The organization, its main mission was to register voters and to activate them when necessary. Because you can scream and yell and say Trump or Biden whatever you want to say but if someone isn't registered in time they can't vote. TPUSA is a voter registration organization And then of course an activation, as Mo would say. An activation organization to get you going at the right moment so you go vote because you're already registered and don't have to go through two-step process. So everyone who is there is
is there to get people involved and all these tents and everything. It's always to register, you need to register to vote. Yeah it's important I'll register the vote. And once your registered then we're going to activate you they kind of doing things out of sequence now because they're pre activating and i think its true JD Vance that's what they are doing now and that may or may not be with approval of the president But it seems like that's all that is about. And all the other stuff is just, its noise! It's just noise. Go to Alex Jones' involved. Alex Jones is he... Candace you were wrong gotta call out but I read all the documents been doing this for 20 years
Candace, you're wrong. I love you but no, I gotta call out when you're on. Love ya. I love Candice. But when she's wrong she's wrong. Gotta call it out in my car while i'm driving." It's insane and at this point is just idolatry just being in the mix. Dave Rubin jumps in... I know all the whole podcasting industrial complex which I blame on you by the way. It's totally my fault and you know but... Is out of control it's Candyland everybody we're in Candyland that's where we're at so you were talking about
The clip before was about liars. I have to play this series and it'll be my last real series for today. Oh, you got a series? This is serious. Well these all been serious. I do a lot of series because that's what we do. We do series so that we can tell the kids... So we can bitch and moan in our own way! No, no, we want the kids who want the kids to learn something from us ultimately That's what we are. We are teachers Don't laugh. We're teachers, we are educators. So this is Brooks
Okay, I take it back. We're just bitching and moaning we're not teachers at all This is Brooks on the PBS NewsHour which nobody who listens to this podcast watches ever So Brooks goes off...Brooks I've now determined is actually you know he's supposed to be a connection You know this is my main complaint for over the years-I'll do it again PBS does not have balanced coverage of anything so they put two people on to argue with each other but they are both in a hundred percent agreement only did what I'm a lefty, i am more of a lefty that's the argument is how left can you be. Hey these clips are loud they're really modulated did you clip these? Yeah he did I did give them
I'm looking at the waveforms. These are maxed out, yeah. I'm looking at the waveform like why? Why all i'm doing is potting him down okay you'll be having some fun with these so they don't have Capehart on so that two of them can agree with each other they brought some woman on who's not even worth it I clipped none of her I just wanted to clip Brooks to make a point about Brooks being not only a left winger, but he's a New York Times columnist who is going to blatantly lie.
President Trump's return to the White House has seen several significant changes from his first term, turning this into a consequential year for the presidency and for the country. So to reflect on it all we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Atkins store that's David Brooks of The New York Times and Kimberly Atkins store of The Boston Globe Jonathan Capehart is away welcome to you both thank you for being here David, one of the biggest questions at the starting of this year is what Trump 2.0 was going to look like compared to the first version? And we have now seen a year of it and incredibly aggressive flexing of executive authority
When you look back on this year, what really stands out to you? Yeah I tell two stories. The first is that since 1945 the American establishment if you want to put it that way has built a series of institutions things like the Western Alliance NATO the Department of Justice USAID and all those things have been hollowed out over the last year The Department of Justice The Department of Justice. That's new? He put that in there, he said specifically the Department of Justice Let me just read a little segment here on the Department of Justice Oh you've done...you got the documents On February 19th 1868
Lawrence introduced a bill in Congress to create the Department of Justice. In 1868, President Ulysses S Grant signed the bill into law on June 22nd, 1870 What does that have to do with 1945-1946? Well it's hollowed out man It's hollowed out. It's like an empty egg shell. You got the little thing in there about USAID, of course because PBS is... I think you nailed it when you said that they were getting money from USAID under the table Whatever! Probably not even under the table probably through an NGO
So we start off with a blatant lie about the Department of Justice, but it gets worse. It doesn't get worse before another clip or two. It gets worse. John C. Duvour, he's got all the documents. And so we've seen a great decline in state capacity... He knows their globalist agenda! You have to worry about if we're a nation in decline because China is investing in science they're investing in technologies they are kicking our butts And so the decline, this has been a tragedy. An error of historic proportions. They're kicking our butts! Is there lie in there somewhere? No not yet but well it's the fact that the Chinese are kicking our butts in AI okay So then we have this next clip which is actually a WTF clip This proves to me that this guy represents conservatives about as much
Hillary Clinton. And you called for a civic, collective civic action. I don't think i'm breaking any news to you that I don't think that has happened in the country. Yeah no...I mean I was reading all these lefty revolutionaries and I'm like yeah let's go get them! Uh..I think it has not happened. What? In the world?! So he's reading Alternet and God knows what other left-wing publications routinely. And he's getting all worked up saying, yeah let's go!
David Brooks reading all those alternate... Okay, we get it. You're getting your I would say you're 5% and you were really close The reason why is because I've had the flu for the past two days And that's why I'm overdoing it because what I say really close I'm talking about his being able to do Alex Jones in a couple of moments back Yes, I had it moments ago He nailed at least five or six words that sounded exactly right So now you're, I don't know if you're trying to get my attention. Yes! But yes, you've got it Okay thank you but can you sustain it without your cold? No I can't It's not a cold is the flu man. It's the flu. I'm jacked up on all kinds of meds right now You didn't even know that
No, you don't because you're good at... You cover up sickness somehow over a microphone. Especially mental sickness! I've been talking like this the way I say it. I can't breathe through my nose and then just gonna have to blow in couple times if we don't bite. No, I refiltered when I sat down like that. So I'm going to keep this filter though. Alright. Let's go to the last clip You want to get it out of your system? Let me try again. John C. Dvorak is... Now I can't do it! Okay, well you have to work on him more. Okay. I'm glad I didn't try my Zelensky. So this is the part where he just drops a bunch of bombs in here at the end. Lies!
The second thing that's happened is there has been such a decay of moral norms, that it's hard for any institution to say no we are going to stand up for this. You're not gonna talk about Rob Reiner the way you did. You're not gonna use the racial language on the present now and its hard to articulate when the corrosion is not only in our laws but in our minds and our language. That's a hard thing to challenge, but I'm hopeful that long-term it'll happen. In the 1890s... We had a civic renaissance, we had the creation of the Boys and Girls Clubs. We have the creation of NAACP, The Unions, The Sierra Club... All these civic organizations were created by a group of people who said, ''we can't go on this way.'' And once you had the civic institutions then in around 1900 you got the progressive movement Wait a minute! Wasn't it the Sierra club? Weren't those the population bomb people like kill everybody
No, they're just conservationists which is not a new operation. Now he said in the 1890s we had the NAACP, the Sierra Club and the Boys & Girls Club. Let's go over the facts Here we go. He's got the documents boys club, the boy it was no boys and girls club let's make this clear there was no boys and girls clubs in the United States. Was there a girl's club? There may have been but they were the girls usually joined the Girl Scouts right the girl Boys & Girls Club came about in 1990 not 1890
In fact, the Boys Club was first founded by women actually curiously in 1860 which is not 1890. It was then nationally organized in 1906 not 1890 and then it was reformed in 1930 in the 30's and 40's not 1890 oh well let's go to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which was formed according him in the 1890's The NAACP was formed in 1909 by people like W.E.B Du Bois, this was not 1890! The Sierra Club was indeed founded in 1890 but that's a conservationist group it's not a political group and then we take it to the end where she says labor unions
which were actually founded, the first founding of the National Labor Union was in 1866 not 1890. And there's plenty of examples of unions that were from the Knights of Labor was it 1869 and then The Great Railroad Strike which was a union inspired strike 1877 this guy is a liar he works for The New York Times and he spews bullshit on PBS which people lap up like lap dogs it's pathetic So does this end the clips on the no agenda show of the PBS NewsHour since it's all lies? Can it possibly mean the end, could this be a New Year's resolution? Let's hope so. Alright let's do a little bit of Trump derangement syndrome before the break
This was a fine example which is going to cost somebody a lot of money. You know, Chuck Redd has been doing this Christmas concert since 1890. And now all of a sudden he decides to cancel? Yeah, 1890. That's... you know, Grinnell is the president which is perfect for the job. Remember Grinnell? He was ambassador. He's the gay guy
He was... Oh yeah, I do remember him. He's the gay ambassador and he is perfect for the job that's true! Yes and I think then was for a moment there he was national security advisor? I think? I had to look him up. And I liked him. Good looking man good guy handsome man very handsome man and so this Chuck Red decides to cancel a day before the concert That's gonna cost you money That's gonna cost someone has to pay for that because ticket sales everything is already done. That's just a that's it That's a career-killing move as far as I'm concerned They wait for political purposes yeah, it was like what do you care man? What do you care? Oh Trump put his name above JFK This is a Bloomberg podcast called the
The balance of power! You can already imagine what this is like. I think it's audio only, thank the Lord. No no it's on TV It's on TV too? Pretty sure it is yeah Well, here they are complaining about Trump. Incredible reporting today in the New York Times if you've not seen this story they spent time in the oval like no one has cataloging each inch and all of the changes that have taken place over at the last year there's been a lot of them by the way The flags are abundant We've got the gold framed copy of the Declaration of Independence Gold statuette of an eagle flying over the Constitution arrived last month near the flags behind the desk A wooden box with a red button You know that's the Diet Coke button That's different it's not gold
But the question of whether the gold is real also acknowledged. When you look at all the frames, or in the mirrors and photos some thought that this was just cheap plastic No! The White House says that while the underlying materials are made of plaster or metal they are covered in real gold leaf A craftsman from Florida travels to the White House on weekends To gild, gild, gild parts of the Oval Office by hand What? What is the problem?! I mean, i'm not that much of a- I do that myself at the house. Yeah with gold spray paint! No you can get gold leaf it's really cheap It's actually relative it's not as cheap as it used to be Are you guilding stuff? I've guilded stuff...I'm not doing it as we speak Could you guild my microphone
You wanna spray it, you don't want to gild. How do you gild? Is gild done by painting or how do you gild it? No no so like there's a sticky under surface and you lay a piece of gold leaf over it and press it down over the bumps and little things and get it so its all pushed in there so one gold leaf at a time but only one atom thick Which is crazy. One atom? Oh man! Yeah, gold can be one atom thick and still be gold Is that the stuff the high-end chefs put on their food? Yeah exactly That's the stuff you could eat You could eat it
Yes, you can because it's only a couple of days really not that much to it. It's just I've eaten it line of atoms This is do you probably not getting enough gold to do anything? And there's not much gold. I've eaten gold in my day Most people have if you go to a high-end restaurant over the years at some point someone will bring out a Gat toe that has a piece of gold leaf on the top and foam for Foams are so passe, it's ridiculous. Oh foam! It's still a thing? Yeah well maybe where you are... Let me clue you in about foam. The foam I've always loved the foam and these guys didn't stop do you know about the peephole
Oh brother. This is fascinating, you know about the peephole in the outer oval? Most people don't know about this there was a peephole that until quite recently would allow staff to just check on the meeting to see what's going on in there make sure your presidents alright are gonna walk and you know what you're walking in on Trump has blocked the peephole with new mirrors if the door is now closed they cannot see what is happening in the room Oh, God. I'll have what she's having. He's blocked the peephole! That...I can't believe that's also on television. That's crazy. Well they it's on television they have it is a very small box and it's surrounded by nothing but stock market information flying all over the place Right right right It's not really a television show Yeah I know exactly
Well, John. With that fine news of the peephole being blocked I think it is time to thank you for your courage The man who put the sea in Candyland say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr. John C. DeMora! Yeah, good morning. Chips and Sea Boost on the ground feeding their subs into water all the dames and knights out there And a morning to the trolls There you go, the troll roof. Hold on let me count you! There we go. We're at 1838 that's not bad for a holiday weekend it's good to have everybody here. Now 1,838 trolls are listening live to this podcast and we are a podcast we're just a podcast You can do other things while listening to these podcasts. We are an OG podcast or some would say. A pod as some would say The Pod
Well, you shouldn't be saying it. You've rejected that moniker. Yes I have So you can be driving while listening to this. You could be walking the dog, doing chores, washing the dishes, walking around... Gardening! All kinds of wonderful activities In fact we encourage that your outside when you listen to this podcast Just walking around laughing to yourself. So people think you're nuts, it's perfect and you recognize each other on the street. Oh, are you listening to The Best Podcast? Yeah I'm listening. ITM! ITM everybody. Where did that happen the other day?
I got an ITM out of the blue. Yeah, we... Oh! From a pastor? We were talking to a pastor One of the Bryans? No not one of the five Bryans no this is for Godcaster and uh and the past says ITM like holy moly ITM there we go man-of-the-cloth of many different cloths And of course, if you have a modern podcast app and by the way Podverse is working on a new version which is going to be amazing. Podverse 2.0. They're real I mean Mitch is really well the new version of pod verse it's... I mean what? What are they gonna do? It's hard to explain but it's really gonna help you find new podcasts find music we have value for value music. Did you hear about the Music Hack?
It's interesting you bring that up. Yes, and it's not a hack is just it's a great idea because the download I think it was at Anna's blog no not yet is Anna's blog they backed up Spotify And they're making... All of it? Well, I think 90% pretty much. I thought it was all of it We archived around 86 million files representing 99.6 percent of listens 300 terabyte in total size and of course they're putting this all on torrents And so you can already get the metadata. I've never even heard of Anna's blog, but if you want to get a book... They're hackers! They do a lot... Anna's blog has been in business and nobody knows anything about them But they are the ones who have their giant libraries that they've stolen. I'm going to use the word stolen. They have downloaded all kinds of stuff there very important to the underground community for information archiving Well You like downloading movies
No, I don't. I pay for everything I view! Oh sorry...I'm sorry yes you're right you pay for everything you do but there's lots of people who like downloading movies You know but they have books They have- I'll bet your books are on here Did you not? Wouldn't be surprised Yeah So it is kind of a super hack because i can see people putting together uh they even have some kind of their own player If I understood correctly. So in essence, you can load up the metadata in their player and then you can access the files from the torrents in your player and it'll just kind of work like Spotify? Yeah yeah...I mean- I can't see how that helps this stock Well, I mean, it depends if it gets kind of the scale of Napster
It'll be very interesting to see what happens. But basically, the musicians aren't really losing any money I mean no one's making money. They're not making any money anyway! Yeah so you know in a way it's kind of fun yeah i mean i don't condone stealing but I don't know, it's...I just like the idea that they just sat there and had all of these machines just screaming music, grinding away and taking everything. He's saving everything! I like that. Just something radical about it that I like Of course with podcasts. This was at the dinner table conversation, too. A couple of things to note one it well I also posted this on X a disloyal hack and note the notes that got back from typically in my followers go so what? This is not wave files Everybody knows if you're gonna save stuff you gotta save it away if you get a safe lossless
And so I got that. And then you also had the, which is what you've heard it? No one cares about quality anymore that went out the window came up at the dinner table. JC says, well they only downloaded as 160 K and I said to him, which is more than adequate for today's not 1 28 or 64 this podcast is 96 Yeah, we're 96. We're 96 man! We don't care It's great and I started doing that for file size but now it became part of our sound Our sound is fine people would say well we have great sound and were doing it at 96 Well thats because you get a little bit of artifacts when you do it at 96 adds a little more crunch to it which I enjoy its almost like over modulating onto magnetic tape
That's also part of sound. I'm a sound designer, Chuck. Not just... Yeah you're... I'm a sound designer. It was designed for earbuds but yeah so that was the only pushback you got is not wave, could not wave! Go talk to Neil Young with his failed wave product. Remember that? Yeah, yeah it was a good idea but no one cared nobody cared once mp3s came in and Napster and you could be sharing with your friends It was fantastic. Man, I loved those days. The sales of CDs were at their absolute peak during Napster because you could hear music you never thought of because Napster had a recommendation engine... No no it wasn't the recommendation engine it was you got a file and then you go look at the guy's drive what else you gotta do? Yeah right well it was an exploration system
Okay, but it basically was a kind of handmade version of recommendation. It was beautiful! Because what you do is hear some music from some guy and say what else does this guy like? Yes You go look at his files and say oh I never heard of this band. You download it wow these guys are good I'm gonna buy their album But think about how good that was as a discovery mechanism versus what you get on Apple Music or Spotify Which sucks. There is some left! It sucks, oh you might also like this No I like rooting around in the guy's hard drive Oh look at that he has 78's This is John's drive That would be me What? He got all these cool...oh he got entire radio dramas it was all kinds of fun stuff We gotta bring that back That was super fun Now Anna's blog BringThatBack That what people want
Yeah, the internet got ruined by apps. Apps! Gotta have an app... So anyway Get one of those modern podcast apps. And apparently, Podverse 2.0 will help you find perfect podcasts. Podcastapps.com is where you can find all them and these are the ones that also automatically will give you a bat signal when your favorite podcast goes live which is what we do with The Noah Jenner Show which is really the only way to do it because you have a built-in studio audience and it's just more fun there's more energy this is great! Which is great face it Um, yeah what else? Anything else? No I guess we'll talk about the Christmas special which Donald Winkler put together for us. I got a lot of positive feedback on this did you get any feedback at all from him? None whatsoever!
Well, I like the art that I chose even though we had... Yes you ended up bypassing the art that we chose. Yeah but did you not like my choice? It was much better! No it's an executive decision you made wisely because that's a terrific piece of art. I called an audible You called an audible and nailed it Baron Darren O'Neill created a piece of art Which, and they had two of them. And one kind of hid the pretty blonde's face But I opted for just a- she looks a bit like my mom honestly That's how my mom looked back in the 50s? 50s and 60s
That was a very typical American look. Wouldn't you agree? Yeah, no it's a pretty... for AI it created a very pretty that's a pretty face. Pretty face. Pretty classic face yeah and I even got comments on that people saying I like how Adam and John just don't care They'll just put a pretty blonde in the picture. He says, hey pretty blonde... This is we do care! Hello? It's just the opposite because we know a pretty blonde sells. Come on let's be real. Money in the bank people! A pretty blonde always sells and she was holding up a No Agenda Christmas book by Currie & Dvorak as curated by Sir Donald Winkler it was a little small but
But I decided to go with it anyway. That was fine! Darren is a master, he's a master i tell you. I don't know how he does it but uh and of course doesn't do anything else...I think his wife works. I'm pretty sure hold on to that one Darren whatever she says do yours. Don't change anything. He's just a gem There were, of course a lot of pieces of art that were uploaded to noagendaartgenerator.com We should probably just take a quick look and let me see there was a lot of Christmas art there was a lot of redacted naughty and nice lists
You used the Jeffrey Rhea Christmas special artwork, which was a nice piece. Which Jeffrey did? It was a tree-stylized tree with two letters. Do you think that it was AI? Absolutely! Yeah well it was good prompting done and then there's just a ton of...well okay there's Darren's some stockings I don't know, it's just... oh yeah. Very funny blue acorn with the sweater puppies? Okay, not gonna choose that one. Yeah that was kind of cute The one you want- You wanted the actual cheesecake because that is what we discussed by Darren in honor of Scaramanga which I was- Well no, I didn't think that is true. I think that is the one we decided on
Oh, the Christmas cheesecake by Scaramanga? I think so. No by Darren! There's a better one by Scaramanga but it's ridiculous not usable As long as you mention him that's all that matters he just wants to be mentioned Yeah well I just mentioned it He got his mentions and has gotta grow big breasts So we're always looking for something fun something that...but I don't really see anything yet Except another butt from a comic strip blogger. He's always showing the butts I don't know, i think there's still room people to swoop in and get the art for this episode It's part of the value for value model is how it works as you give us your time your talents and treasure In return for the outstanding podcast that we deliver twice a week For 18 years We just keep on delivering
Are you tired of our delivery yet? Because it's never going to stop. We're going to keep on delivering four more years or a thousand more years, depends Johnson newsletter.

He says, ITM John and Adam. My name is Paul Lincolns my mom Rose made an instant night donation in May when I graduated from Thaddeus Stevens College earning my associate degree in welding technology! I remember this kid I know because whenever we get someone who's doing something actually productive like welding, everyone can use a welder by the way in their Rolodex. Yes we're always the first one to say yes that we approve that career move and he says i scored my first job and now i get to sew with metal for a living as a welding term. I sew metal!

Oh how she shrieks in delight how easily they come—how easily they are seduced into her whimsical hut sitting high on scaly old chicken feet! Oh, how lucky she is to have an endless stream of food that comes right into her home. And as the world turns she cackles and creaks on

Yeah, that was good. Thank you all very much It was a nice Christmas giving Don't y'all feel good about it? You should You should feel very good Because when you give it always comes back to you It always does It's amazing how it works I have two little things I'd like to discuss here So I came up with this term Limbic capitalism. You came up with the term or you ran into the term? Well, I came up with it but i'm sure that has been used before. I have a feeling and limbic capitalism is basically everything you see online It's your news feed
This porn is limbic, you know limbic being the brainstem. But also ultra-processed foods qualify under limbic capitalism In essence everything people are making money on these days is limbic capitalism The number one being gambling and I've been talking to a lot of the Zumwurfaffen And they all say oh yeah it's out of control And these young people are so happy, oh I won 25 bucks with a prop. Because it's not even about the money it's just about that innate natural
You know, dopamine. It's either dopamine or in some cases cortisol if you lose it's all these things that your body needs to have these reactions but they're just being created artificially mainly by Silicon Valley companies and NPR had a report about sports betting and it was done by... Safran Succotash I'm Scott Simon. Now it's time for sports a world series to cherish an NFL dynasty deflates plus what sport didn't have a gambling scandal in 2025? Sports writer Howard Bryant joins us, Howard thanks for being with us hello Scott one gambling scandal after another in sports this year from the NBA Major League Baseball college basketball players suspended for gambling and having bets on certain occurrences in the game which is how I'll describe prop bets
In the year ahead, defense need to ask can I trust what i'm seeing. This day was coming and I think that the sports leagues had taken the position that I never agreed with, I never quite understood it these players make so much money that they would not risk the adrenaline rush that comes with gambling and we've seen that not to be the case. We've seen that Major League Baseball, where Luis Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase are involved in a scandal they may never play again. We've seen the Jonte Porter in the NBA now the Chauncey Billups and Terry Rougier case And the attitude has been that well essentially the leagues are gonna take the money
The commercials are everywhere. I mean, media is funded by DraftKings and FanDuel and the rest of it And then the players take the fall So... The more you watch these games with your high-definition televisions and the controversial calls especially in the NFL In the NBA, the more you begin to wonder Are you watching a legitimate contest? That is the death knell for sports so the question's really going to be Are you going to trust what you're watching or are we simply going to watch these athletes be the ones who individually get bounced out of the game and the game maintains its legitimacy? I think it's a very, very difficult balance. And I think 2025 really showed that. You're a sports ball guy John how do you feel about it is ruining sports
It can. I think it's not good, and I think gambling should be discouraged and the fact that these guys are all in bed... ESPN now has ESPN Bet. They talk about DraftKings but ESPN Bet is like an operation run out of ESPN to NFL and both the NFL and NBA. And I'm not sure about Major League Baseball but I know those two operations have done deals So they're in bed with the gamblers. It's just like everybody, it's all the gamblers. It's a gambler, gambler, gambler and they push it and push it and push it. They got whole shows on ESPN about the betting lines and what you should be betting on. They have a couple of women in particular that I
Have watched on ESPN bets one of their shows and who are quite good at this And they're gonna do it's all a lot of prop best. I think you should go with dishes you go It's disgusting Here's Scott Simon choking up over it But there was a historically great world series Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a series that twisted turned I love that he left that in. He choked on his own spit at the Toronto Blue Jays. Those guys all have cough buttons at those, at that facility. Oh yeah! It was perfect this is Scott Simon, Scott Shiman and his best. Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Toronto Blue Jays in a series that twisted turned
Headset records over seven games. See, I'm choked up! You are, you're reclaimed... It's incredible Scott, that is the thing we love about the Games Every time there is a scandal whether it's steroids or gambling When the game is played at its best people come to it and they love it And it reminds them of all the reasons why they got hooked in the first place when their team wins It is that reminder of what sports brings for us So I I was looking into this limbic capitalism and to be fair about it, it was Gemini that came up with the term. And like oh! I made up a term because it was my prompt and I'm like how can the No Agenda show benefit from limbic capitalism? That was my prompt
And I think that, I'm glad the way you...I like the way you think. It said well The No Agenda Show is in fact the antithesis of limbic capitalism! Yeah i guess your kind of right about that but it had a suggestion for us It had a limbic capitalism suggestion. And who doesn't? It was to randomly choose a below $50 donor... ...to receive a special knighthood, thereby spurring people on to gamble on the show! I can hear your wheels crunching. Yeah no. But it did like how it said that we are the antithesis of limbic capitalism
Which is true. Limbic capitalism hacks the system by offering super stimuli that trigger rewards more intensely and frequently than nature ever intended Over time this bypasses the brain's executive function of self-control, leading to habit formation compulsion and eventually addiction Well, there you go. There you go. That's it. Not good! We are addictive but not for your limbic. Not for that reason we don't want to do that. In fact now I should mention it... no we don't definitely out. We are amygdala capitalism and that's what we are Well, talking about getting sick I have the... Getting sick. I got the Rinvoke ad. What? Rinvoke? What is Rinvoke? Rinvoke is one of these drugs and this is the counterindications and all the bad things that can happen to you from using Rinvoke
And lasting steroid-free remission. Check, check and check! RemVote can lower ability to fight infections Before treatment test for TB and do blood work Series infections blood clots some fatal Cancers including lymphoma and skin Serious allergic reactions GI tears death heart attack and stroke occurred CV event risk increases in age 50 plus with a heart disease risk factor Tell your doctor if you've had these events infection Hep B or C smoked are pregnant or planning Don't take it allergic or have an infection Put UC and Crohn's in check Oh, it's for Crohn's disease? Yeah. Oh wow! And I think that...I think what they're doing because I can't prove this because I didn't get the other clip but i think they have...they rattle off all these dangerous things that can happen
Different for the same companies, the same drug but they have a different ad and they have a different list. No interest is the way to get around I think a way to get around the rules so i've been searching for you actually not really searching i've had my eye out because you were looking for a fourth or fifth vector in this particular story And it's from Reuters. Again, I'm pretty sure Reuters is using AI voices. Yeah you said that. This yeah...I said it and I am saying again because when you listen to what sounds like it. Were not on the lookout for EEOC stories?
Yeah, I believe so. Here we go! Under the Trump administration the EEOC is ramping up scrutiny of corporate diversity programs It's already opening inquiries into how companies handle sex and race in hiring and promotions Our Race & Justice correspondent David Hood Nuno spoke with Lucas Tell me this isn't AI I, you know...I'm not convinced of it. The pauses are too lengthy if someone did this readable they go and read it again It's who, like driving this crackdown. So those priorities boil down to four buckets. One of them is attacking all forms of race discrimination which includes diversity equity and inclusion related race and sex discrimination the second is dealing with religious liberty issues
That spans the gamut of anti-Semitism to COVID 19 vaccine mandates. And then the third is gender identity and focusing on women's sex based rights, and then the fourth is national origin discrimination which in her view is protecting American workers regardless of their race which is a shift in the EEOC's mission, which used to protect workers against discrimination in the sort of traditional sense. And so this conservative view of civil rights
is a massive pivot for the agency that has huge ramifications for companies, for employees etc. Please tell me this is part of what you wanted to hear because it was so boring. No not at all. It's so boring to me. Hey we have... No no no you picked you purposely picked a very boring useless clip I didn't! This is your way of getting back at me? No no I was trying to help you. We have the president and Zelensky on the quad screens.
How are they doing? Are they fighting, are they punching each other or shaking hands as you put your hand on this guy's shoulder and towering over him. They're at lecterns with America... well let's listen in shall we Let's have a quick listen Get something done and if there is something that comes up I'd speak but otherwise i don't think there's any reason to. In your mind sir what are the thorniest issues still unresolved after the death of President Obama The land you're talking about some of that land is all right. They resolve nothing all right, alright Of course not this is just bullcrap okay? I got a last series that I'm gonna do today alright Let me get the rug This is a but this is about the dish from the BBC World Service's about
Rush, rush, rusky bloggers and podcasters in the training centers around the world are training these Russians. They're gonna be attacking us with a bots and their bloggers and the podcasters. Oh no! So we can be Putin's puppet once again? Can we go to these training centres is there money involved If there was money involved we'd be there already. Well after Russian forces invaded and captured large parts of eastern Ukraine over three years ago now, the Kremlin tightly controlled any information about life in Ukraine's occupied regions but in recent months one source of information has come from pro-Russian bloggers and content creators their videos about life under occupation have gathered thousands of online followers The BBC's James Beardsworth has the story
Across Russian occupied Ukraine hundreds of content creators are making slick professional looking videos celebrating life under Russian occupation. Mariupol is becoming better and better every day, its changes are literally shocking says 23 year old content creator Maria Chushkina one of hundreds of channels run by often young attractive men and women which broadcast pro-Russian content from occupied Ukraine to tens of thousands of followers. Oh, this is great! So instead of what's probably true that these people are happy because Ukraine was killing them previously now they're just shills for Russia?
I have no idea. The validity of this story is somewhat baffling to me, but I don't know if it's true or these people are just a bunch of propagandists but is interesting and I would expect something like... This is like a good use of the medium if you're a propaganda outlet I'm just fascinated by the story. I don't know whether any of it's true... But here is the thing, they're speaking in Russian! It's not like they are talking to American audiences or European audiences? Yeah no it says for local consumption yeah. I like how this particular British North Sea Nexus reporter says young, younger. It's like H that's another thing there's a certain type of Brit that says H
H? Yeah, instead of h they say haech. Haech? Yes, haech. It's code. No... One of my helicopter instructions was a Brit he says just land over there on the haech I'm like where is that what's the haech The haech! What's the haech?! The haech over there the haech Oh you mean the H? Yes, the H. Younger! Younger H! H! H! H! H! Younger H! One of those creators is Elizaveta Chudyakova a 21 year old from Mariupol despite her city being almost completely flattened by Russia's invasion over... H speech
Three years ago, Elizaveta now posts pro-Russian content posing in front of the Russian flag and celebrating the Kremlin's rebuild of her city. I asked why she began making videos. She is voiced by one my colleagues as she didn't want to be broadcasted. To be honest, I always want to create a content even before all the famous events. And when everything changed, I saw that my city was often presented on the internet as a ghost town and i wanted to show the reality that we are living not what it's sometimes written in their news The bloggers carefully choreographed their videos often showing newly built apartment blocks shops and restaurants built by Russia but rarely mentioning the death and destruction caused by the war or
who started it in the first place. Elizaveta told me more about how she believes her city has changed since Russia's arrival. There is a feeling that this city is coming to life, that the constant internal tension that used to be in the background has gone Like many other content creators in the region, Elizaveta learned how to make her eye-catching content at the Donbass Media Center Oh, there it is. The Don Bass... So is this where Tim Pool got his training? That's where he got his money. The Don Bass Media Center? The Don Bass Media Center! Yes, it's deep. Come on podcasters! This the Don Bass School of Podcasting. Why does they call it that? Don Bass School of Podcasting. The centers offer free vocational video making courses to people under 25. Pavel Khodvovsky is a blogger and teacher at the school
The Donbass Media Center is a school of bloggers. A few hundred people have studied here in Donetsk, in Lugansk and Mariupol and one in Malitopol It's very cool because somebody needs to say what is happening in our region In order to tell let's say residents of Britain or France so that when they watch the content they understand that their government or the Ukrainian government is trying to sell them something that is far from the truth. Ilya Yablokov is an expert on Russian disinformation at the University of Sheffield in the UK, he has been monitoring these schools They've created this network media centers, propaganda outlets let's put it that way. That aggregate information but also produce it on an industrial scale if you look at the pictures you see absolutely regular boys and girls these guys are being trained to spread the message about the war in Donbass or rather the peace in the Donbass I put those claims to Elisaveta I just live in my city and show my reality
I'm a patriot of my country, but this is not about work or promoting interest. Videos posted by the Donbass Media Center show hundreds of teenagers doing presentations about what they call Russia's new regions with prizes including trips to Moscow for the most successful students Wow! Maybe we could hand out Donbass Media Center diplomas That's actually not a bad idea. The Russians have, in the earlier report that you played they've absconded with all nationalized everything and IP! Yes right So IP that means they've given up IP so the IP which is the Donbass Media Center where his moniker could be is now public domain There you go
So we could give a degree out from there. Well, I think it's one less clip For some of the millions forced to flee like former Mariupol resident Alena Kildashova The content which she says often appears on her social media feed is just another cruel reminder of a home She knows she may never be able to return to How dare they? They were dead bodies all around the streets and now they are saying that Mariupol is in bloom I can't understand how The city can be blooming on blood and rebels. That report from James Beardsworth there. Well, I'm not gonna hire James Beardsworth who says... What kind of English are they speaking over there? You know, I've had a conversation with Drew Olowski recently over the phone basically and the English is that lot of these English guys
It's getting harder and harder to understand them. I noticed this when i was writing at PCMag UK over the years, I was there probably for a decade so I'd go to England twice in a year and it just started noticing that English is harder and harder and harder to understand Yeah yeah must have been BBC Regional I have no idea, but it's... Did you say World Service? You said it was World Service. Yeah that was world service but doesn't mean it wasn't a regional report they just repurposed It's the Christmas Bee Team that's what it is Christmas Bee Team I got three clips left in a series this is uh Just thought it was interesting it is from NPR
This is about South America and how South America is loving Trump and is shifting right. Wait, where did this come from? NPR And they say South America loves Trump? Oh yeah! Yeah, yeah. They say a lot of things it's well of course it's all bad obviously It's not good that I should try to make sense no it's not good is in South America elected conservative and even far-right leaders in 2025 the goal here is to bring security and stability to the hemisphere, to the region we live in which has not received enough attention. For more, we go now to NPR correspondent... Which you by the way called it that Rubio was going to be doing this. Rubio was focusing on South America and there he is in the clip It's all his fault of course and Trump's a little minion in South America. For more, we go now to NPR correspondent Kerry Kahn in Rio de Janeiro Brazil Thanks for being here Kerry Hello Daniel! Hello!
So let's start just talking about this big turn to the right in the region. power, the major emphasis back then was economic inequality, social issues. The environment now it's safety and the left just has not come through with either effective policies to combat organized crime violence or credible promises that they're going to do something better and the right has really straightforward tough on crime plans and slogans. And I'm not commenting on the quality of the rights proposals all I'm saying is that they are resonating better with voters
It's great. Our hemisphere, this is exactly what we want! We wanted to turn against the communist socialist morals and values that have destroyed everything and they can't stand it! Okay so what are some of those measures? Get tough on crime like those made infamous in El Salvador the mano dura Iron fist policies that are just being emulated everywhere bringing the military to patrol the streets sound familiar build maximum security prisons toughen sentences and in many places
The population is more than willing to curb civil rights to combat that crime. Also, many just want a crackdown on illegal immigration. Remember nearly 8 million people have fled the authoritarian rule of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela and most have stayed here in this region and the right has definitely Sound familiar? Does sound familiar?! Wow, which sounds a lot like Trump's pledges here in the US. There it is! Yes no surprise that Trump's policies get very warm reception and they're being mirrored here too among conservative voters and anti-left voters his military intervention against Venezuela and drug traffickers is very popular. Trump also stepped in for many of his favorite candidates as allies there was that 20 billion dollar bailout for Argentina's far right libertarian president Javier Mille
Hold on. Bailout for him? Well, it was a swap line is not quite the same as a bailout but okay... And for many of his favorite candidates and his allies there was that 20 billion dollar bailout for Argentina's far-right libertarian president Javier Mele that came right before he was facing a tough midterm election and Trump pledged support for the new right leaders in Bolivia and in Chile And the populist anti-crime rhetoric is really working. Some have even coined it with a new term, security populism. Will Freeman of the Council on Foreign Relations was talking to me about that and he said it's not surprising that this is gaining so much popularity given how powerful and rich organized crime groups have become here
Yes, killing fishermen is very popular in South America. It's amazing! Here it's a big problem they're like yeah kill those fishermen Why are these crime groups becoming so powerful right now? I mean hasn't organized crime been a problem for a long time in Latin America Sure but they're richer than ever Wait wait sure How do you answer when you ask me something sure You know just makes sure Sure Well, it was a leading question. Let's hear it again Why are these crime groups becoming so powerful right now? He answers his own question by saying I mean hasn't organized crime been a problem for a long time in Latin America
Sure, but they're richer than ever. They're making billions and not just from drugs But migrant trafficking and increasingly illegal gold trafficking gold prices are soaring right now Yeah Now listen to the example that's coming up And so is demand for drugs in US and Europe and especially cocaine It's on the rise, the use in the US. But cocaine use is at an all-time high in Europe and so is coca production and that happens mainly in Colombia So most cocaine smuggling and transportation goes through Ecuador And I just spent a lot of time there this year and I spend time with this one banana farmer and I just want to tell you a little bit about him He battles extortion and kidnapping attempts by the cartels he told me this one story that has stuck with me so much...He was visiting friends in Europe
and they were all partying, and someone pulled out cocaine. And he said he was just floored. He told them don't you know what that has done? Your consumption has done to my country! And he said the people at the party just could not connect the dots with him. Oh wow. Oh wow. Ruby! Oh wow! Hey man your partying is killing my country oh wow Yeah. Oh wow! By the way, we're closer to a deal than ever according to the quad screen Closer than ever to a deal? Closer than ever So that means what?
