It's a PADCAST. Adam Curry, John C.
Dvorak.
It's Thursday, November 20th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1818.
This is no agenda.
Scrubbing files and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA
Region No.
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from the other Silicon Valley, where the
watchword is, quiet, piggy.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
This is Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh, man, of all the things, of all
the things that have happened this past week,
that's the one everyone's, oh, I can't believe
he said quiet, piggy.
I'm not even sure that's exactly what he
said.
He said quiet, Peggy.
Oh, he said Peggy?
There's a woman that, there was a confusion.
I had it written down.
I don't have it in front of me.
Oh, and why come prepared for the show?
There was a Bloomberg woman that was one
of the reporters and it was Peggy something
and there was another Bloomberg woman and they
attributed him telling the other Bloomberg woman, whose
name was Christine Lucy, I believe, of saying
quiet, piggy.
No one's ever interviewed her or this has
never been confirmed.
So he was saying quiet, Peggy, which was
on the plane.
You couldn't hear anything.
And with his Queens accent, quiet, Peggy.
That's it.
Well, it was, you know, it was that
what you've been bitching and moaning about, which
is that plane interview, you know, that you
can't hear anything.
Yeah.
No, no.
And so I said, yeah.
And so they made a big fuss.
I do have one clip of a typical
response to this is a tick tock clip.
You know, what happened to you?
I went nuts.
Yeah.
So quiet, Peggy.
I see like 10, 10 tick tock clips.
Yeah, they're all dynamite.
But I got the quiet, piggy one on
here.
This is what the typical reaction was.
And here's what's interesting.
I believe what I think happened.
I believe that when he first said it,
somebody caught it and then they attributed it
to this woman, this Lucy character.
The press themselves put it out there so
they could slam Trump.
But if you listen to this rant from
this, this, this woman to classic online rant,
the media is what who gets blasted for
this, not Trump.
Oh.
This is the Piggy Chronicles.
Is it what it says?
That's what it says.
Yeah.
This is Piggy.
OK, here we go.
Tell me why I just saw the president
of the United States put his finger in
a female journalist's face and tell her quiet
piggy and not a single other journalist in
the area did shit about it.
Am I shocked at the president's actions?
No, that's not even the point of this
video.
But this man points his finger in someone's
face and snarls, quiet piggy, and the rest
of the press corps just stands there like
absolutely nothing happened.
And listen, I grew up around journalists.
I know how seriously they take professionalism.
They are trained to keep their cool.
This goes beyond that.
This was demoralizing verbal abuse.
That was not banter.
That was not press tension.
And her colleagues just watched it happen.
This is an utter failure of the press.
It is a failure of the entire point
of the press in democracy.
Journalists have got to stop fawning over access
and start standing up for dignity and integrity.
Imagine the impact if even one journalist had
said, hey, you don't get to talk to
us that way or you don't get to
talk to her that way.
Solidarity should not be optional when your colleague
is being publicly shamed and demeaned and abused.
And let's be real, this is not the
first time Trump has obviously harassed or abused
or demoralized the press, and no one stands
up to him.
Authoritarians don't rise because they're strong.
They rise because people are too scared to
push back or they're too focused on their
own self-interest when they cross the line.
So yes, obviously I'm disgusted with the president,
what's new?
But I'm more disgusted with these journalists who
just stood up there and proved that not
only are they being silenced.
They are silencing themselves.
Well, she could have done it in half
the time.
I'm not arguing with that.
This clip was way too long.
I wish I had tightened it up.
Yeah, well, but she did beat it to
death.
And but it was aimed at the media,
which I think is kind of the ironic
part of it.
Well, the president lashed out at all kinds
of people and reporters.
I didn't hear anyone coming to the defense
of the ABC reporter.
Well, I have actually a series of clips
that involve that particular moment, including that him
take his takedown of Mary Bruce is who
you're talking about.
Yes.
You want to do that?
Let's do it.
It's OK.
We need to play something else after that
lengthy TikTok clip.
He can continue to complain about the link,
but it was under two minutes.
And that's that's my limit.
Um.
This is the.
Well, let's start, let's do it, let's do
the three by three, if you want to
play the jingle, it's now it's time for
three.
I'm ready.
It's short experiment by J.C. Always at
the ready.
Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC, the
never ending three by three.
That's right, everybody.
John has a three by three.
He's got three clips in the big three.
ABC, NBC, CBS.
Will they sound the same?
Will they have the same messaging?
We're going to find out.
Who do we start with?
Well, we're going to start with the Mary
Bruce one and that it will go from
there.
And this is the ABC clip.
Now, this is about this is about the
interaction between.
Mary Bruce and the Saudi prince, Ben Solomon
was in the.
He didn't say much.
He actually did.
He did say a lot.
He said, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
He can speak English.
Oh, you know about that particular moment?
Yeah, we chopped that guy up.
Well, it was a mistake.
What can I tell you?
Yeah, no, it was just it happens.
We chop people's what we do.
Sorry.
I'm sorry to break.
I'm a Saudi.
What do you want?
Tonight, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, fully
embraced by President Trump, welcomed to the White
House with horses on parade, a military flyover
and a personal tour.
Trump pulling out all the stops.
Trump keeping praise on the crown prince.
I'm very proud of the job he's done.
What he's done is incredible in terms of
human rights and everything else.
But it was the CIA under Donald Trump
who determined in 2018 that the crown prince
orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of Washington Post
journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
President Trump bristling when I asked about that.
Hold on a second.
Dismemberment?
No, no, no, no, no.
They saw that guy in the little bits.
It wasn't just his arms and legs, was
it?
Well, they had to get him in suitcases,
so I'm sure they chopped him up into
smaller pieces.
Yeah, that's just what I'm just correcting the
record.
But I think you still use the term
dismemberment.
I think just chopped him into little bits
would have been better.
She can't say that.
She's not going to be.
There's no proof of it, by the way.
Oh, there's no evidence.
Donald Trump, who determined in 2018 that the
crown prince orchestrated the murder and dismemberment of
Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
President Trump bristling when I asked about that.
Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence.
Oh, this is interesting.
She actually does the report herself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Isn't this like one of the main things
you're not supposed to do in journalism is
make it about you?
When it comes to the press corps at
the White House, they always they tend to
do just the opposite.
They always do their own reports.
And they say, I said this.
I asked him this.
I asked him that.
Well, I asked the president this.
I asked the president that.
No, not true.
OK.
President Trump bristling when I asked about that.
Your Royal Highness, the U.S. intelligence concluded
that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a
journalist.
9-11 families are furious that you are
here in the Oval Office.
Why should Americans trust you?
And the same to you, Mr. President.
Who are you with?
I'm with ABC News, sir.
You're with who?
ABC News, sir.
The president answering first.
She cuts out the fake news.
She cut that out.
His answer was, you're fake news.
Yeah.
Cut that out.
You're absolutely right.
That's what he said.
No, I'm with ABC News, sir.
She cut a lot of stuff out.
Well, of course, it looked like she was
doing her.
She's doing her job.
Some other shows later, too.
She's pretty cool.
Cool about it.
But she's you can tell she's a she's
a liberal.
Oh, gambling.
Anyone with who?
I'm sorry.
The president answering first, defending the crown prince
and instead criticizing the journalist who was murdered.
You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.
A lot of people didn't like that.
Gentlemen, that you're always talking about whether you.
Damn, I forgot.
I should have mentioned this when you interrupted
the clip.
If you notice when she said she said
the CIA accused you of being behind this
community.
Yes.
And then she said and 9-11 families
are mad that you're here.
Yeah.
Which is interesting.
Well, because the 9-11 families know that
it was Saudis who were actually behind the
plot.
Was it him?
No, he wasn't even an officer.
But he's brown.
He's he's wearing a dress like be mad
at him.
Instead, criticizing the journalist who was murdered.
You're mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial.
A lot of people didn't like that.
Gentlemen, that you're talking about, whether you like
him or didn't like him.
Things happen.
But he knew nothing about it.
And we can leave it at that.
Wow.
That's mob boss talk.
Hey, you like him.
You don't like him.
Things happen.
Hey, what are you going to do?
What am I going to do to happen?
You fall off a bridge.
It's not my fault.
I have to embarrass our guests by asking
a question like that.
But the crown prince, who rarely faces the
press, defended himself.
It's really painful to hear, you know, anyone
that been losing his life for, you know,
no real purpose.
It's painful and it's a huge mistake.
And we are doing our best that this
doesn't happen again.
Hey, man, I'm sorry.
You know, it won't happen again.
I promise.
I promise you here won't happen again.
Trump has been eager to cultivate ties to
Saudi Arabia, traveling there for the first foreign
trip of both his presidential terms.
And his family has been doing big business
in Saudi Arabia.
Jeddah.
Yeah, I'm coming soon.
Trump Towers going up in Jeddah and in
Riyadh, a Trump Plaza now in the works.
In the last year alone, the Trump organization's
Saudi partner, pumping more than 20 million dollars
into the family business.
Pumping, pumping it in this big, a big
gas handle, pumping it in.
Yeah.
Pumping it.
Yeah.
Let's not talk about the 600 billion to
trillion dollars that's that Saudi is going to
invest here.
Let's talk about the 20 million dollars they're
pumping into the Trump pumping.
This is, you know, it's also as if
the Trump organization, which he's not really running
right now, he's got other things to do.
Yeah, but it's the kids.
It's the kids.
And they're going to take it over anyway
that they're supposed to watch shutter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, he's president.
Well, we all know this is it's not
at all like Biden and Burisma.
Shut up.
So here we go.
From there, we'll go from that was ABC
Bruce.
And we go to let's go to CBS.
And, you know, the CBS is still kind
of on pretty much the same report.
And they don't veer too much away from
it.
But they don't they don't.
They also leave out stuff like fake news.
You ought to go back and learn how
to be a reporter.
The question that set Trump off was not
an unexpected one.
Who are you with?
I'm with ABC News, sir.
He was asked why Americans should trust his
guest, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, after
the brutal killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal
Khashoggi.
Hold on.
That's not what she did.
She didn't say, should you trust him?
She didn't ask him if the president should
trust him.
Not at all.
OK, just point to the making.
They're making it up to questions of why
they're making it up.
Oh, no.
Saudi Arabia, after the brutal killing of Washington
Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
A lot of people didn't like that gentleman
that you're talking about, whether you like him
or didn't like him.
Things happened, but he knew nothing about it.
That was not the conclusion of the U
.S. intelligence community, which assessed in 2021 that
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did approve an
operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill
Khashoggi, who was a legal U.S. resident
today.
The crown prince called the killing.
They make it sound like he's a citizen
of the United States.
Yes.
Legal U.S. resident.
Yeah, of course.
He killed an American man.
So that's the that's the implication.
Yeah.
What is Barry Weiss doing?
I thought she was going to be pro
Trump.
What's happening?
Not doing anything is what she's doing.
Capture or kill Khashoggi, who was a legal
U.S. resident today.
The crown prince called the killing a mistake.
We've improved our system to be sure that
nothing happened like that.
And it's painful.
It was painful for Khashoggi, I'll bet.
The moment marred an otherwise lavish welcome for
the crown prince who rolled out the red
carpet for Trump in Riyadh this spring.
On the eve of this visit, Trump approved
a plan to sell F-35 fighter jets
to the Saudis for the first time, despite
Pentagon concerns that China, a Saudi ally, could
try to steal the plane's technology.
Oh, yeah.
Go ahead.
Steal that turkey.
Trump was asked today if his family's deep
business ties to Saudi Arabia are prompting preferential
treatment by the U.S. government.
What my family does is fine.
They do business all over.
They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually.
I'm sure they could do a lot.
They already do a lot.
In September, a Saudi backed developer unveiled plans
for a one billion dollar Trump Plaza development
in the seaside city of Jeddah.
Just yesterday, the Trump organization announced a licensing
deal with Saudi investors to build a luxury
hotel in the Maldives.
How did we get from 20 million to
a billion all of a sudden?
Well, no, they what they did is they
changed the the model.
They it wasn't the Trump.
It wasn't the Trump organization.
It was a Saudi, if you listen again,
it was a Saudi developer who had the
Trumps in as a partner in a you
know, there.
So they're yeah.
So you could use the exaggerated number.
Yeah.
And then they drop in something about the
Maldives, which has got nothing to do with
anything.
Aren't they?
Isn't the Maldives tipping due to climate change?
Yeah, they're supposed to be.
Sounds like a bad business deal to me.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I wouldn't I'd say away.
You don't want you don't want that.
No.
All right.
That report was as slanted as the other
one.
It was only it was it had a
couple of elements that were.
But again, no mention of the gigantic investment
in the United States.
Not one mention of it, except they're going
to sell a bunch of F-35s that
the Chinese might steal.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Here's the keys, boys.
All right.
And so and it won't be the current
model.
You can be sure of that.
You get you get a 2022, boys.
You're not giving you the 2026.
All right.
With it, with it, with the touch screen.
And there's you know, you put fail safe
mechanisms in these planes.
So here we go now, didn't NBC.
It turns out another Trump hating network.
It has they actually it's probably the mildest
of the reporting, but it still includes the
same most important things and leaves out the
most important things.
Tonight, President Trump.
They all had that trumpet, though, didn't they?
They all like that.
They love the trumpet.
They love putting it just a nice nat
pop.
Tonight, President Trump rolling out the red carpet
for Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman,
offering the kingdom's de facto ruler a lavish
welcome, including an honor guard on horseback.
By the way, you should just mention Mohammed
bin Salman, as he says here, was the
darling of D.C. before this unfortunate Khashoggi
bone saw incident.
Everyone's talk about MBS, this MBS, that they
all loved him.
Remember that vaguely?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, MBS.
Oh, I was invited to MBS.
Oh, MBS.
And a military flyover.
Including several F-35 jets.
The same type of advanced fighters the president
plans to sell to Saudi Arabia.
President Trump touting Saudi Arabia's 600 billion dollars
of investments in the U.S. It really
means for everybody that really counts as jobs,
a lot of jobs.
Now saying the Saudi investment could rise to
a trillion dollars.
You're saying to me now that the 600
billion will be one trillion.
Definitely, because what we are signing it to
facilitate that.
And I like that.
Right.
That friendly reception for the crown prince, a
major reversal from the international ostracism he faced
after the CIA concluded he ordered the murder
of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
President Trump interrupting a question about the killing.
A lot of people didn't like that gentleman
that you're talking about, whether you like him
or didn't like him.
Things happen, but he knew nothing about it.
And we can leave it at that.
The crown prince, who has denied ordering the
murder, responding.
We've improved our system to be sure that
nothing happened like that.
It's painful and it's a huge mistake.
While President Trump was pressed about.
I like how he says we've improved our
system.
What's the system?
Is that he also says, well, he also
says it was a mistake.
Yeah.
And and I remember the reporting on this.
It was believed that they were trying to
kidnap him and drag him back to Saudi
Arabia to stand trial.
Somebody went rogue.
And some why the reporting, at least some
of it was that Khashoggi was making such
a fuss and causing such a scene.
They had to hit him in the head
or something, killed him.
And now that they killed him, they had
to figure out how to get him out
of there.
But I just like dead by accident.
You know, it was a mistake.
I just love how we've improved our system
of what?
Killing people.
What system is that?
NBS.
The crown prince, who has denied ordering the
murder, responding.
We've improved our system to be sure that
nothing happened.
Like that.
And it's painful.
And it's a huge mistake.
While President Trump was pressed about his family's
business dealings in Saudi Arabia, including Trump branded
luxury properties.
I have nothing to do with the family
business I have left.
And when I I've devoted 100 percent of
my energy, what my family does is fine.
They do business all over.
They've done very little with Saudi Arabia, actually.
Yeah.
All right.
OK, so now before we get to the
clip, I wanted to play.
There's one more just to just to balance
the three by three with a with a
four, which is the Trump Saudi overview from
NTD.
OK, President Trump speaking today at the Saudi
Investment Forum to top business and tech executives
touting billions of dollars in financial ties between
the US and Saudi Arabia.
He also vows to partner with Middle Eastern
countries to work toward peace in Sudan at
the request of the Saudi crown prince.
And it is Mario Tsu has more from
the White House.
The partnership between our two nations is among
the most consequential in the entire world.
And together, the crown prince and I are
making an alliance stronger and more powerful than
it's ever been before.
President Trump announcing that 270 billion dollars in
deals are being assigned between dozens of companies
today, thanking those companies for bringing jobs back
to American workers.
This coming just a day after rolling out
the red carpet for Saudi crown prince Mohammed
bin Salman in a day of pomp and
circumstance, which culminated in a black tie dinner
at the White House.
This week, our countries also signed groundbreaking agreements
on civil nuclear energy, critical minerals and artificial
intelligence.
And we're going to be selling Saudi Arabia
some of the greatest military equipment ever built,
including nearly 300 American made tanks.
The Saudi prince Tuesday pledging to increase his
country's investments in the US from a previously
promised 600 billion dollars.
Yesterday, the crown prince announced that the number
that they'll be investing in the United States
is one trillion dollars.
And President Trump hailing the US Saudi strategic
partnership announcing we officially designated the kingdom yesterday
as the major non NATO ally.
That's a big deal.
President Trump also vows to settle the conflict
in Sudan by working out a peace deal
at the request of the Saudi crown prince.
I just see how important that is to
you and to a lot of your friends
in the room, Sudan, and we're going to
start working in Sudan.
I didn't think that that was one that
was going to be the president, adding how
influential his tariff strategy has been in ensuring
national security and brokering multiple peace deals.
Now, ABC, NBC, CBS had none of these
details.
No.
What's what's so ever?
What's the and there were more.
I mean, they were boring, but they were
more interesting.
What's the deal with Sudan?
The crown prince.
Yeah, well, that's what you'd want to know.
Yeah.
The crown prince is upset about something going
on down there.
And he says it should be.
This is like battle between the classic battles.
It's got to be or where's Clooney is
what I like to know.
But beside that, with this eye in the
sky, you're right.
Where is Clooney?
It is like he wants to settle.
Then Trump says he'll do it.
So whatever.
So I thoroughly enjoyed this press conference, not
for the the Nat Pops and the obvious
that the the big three took away from
it.
But Trump had a shill in the audience.
This was this was this was really good.
And I take I take the president at
his word that he's mad about this whole
Epstein thing.
And of course, he doesn't help himself with,
you know, calling the journalists fake news because
his news doesn't get on the news.
His news, which he's desperately trying.
He needs help.
He needs help with the with these promotions.
So he's trying to explain that obviously the
money that's being brought in is going to
be invested into the United States in automotive,
in ships, ships, Pennsylvania, of all places, billions
of dollars worth of ship ship building contracts.
But also for the A.I. and for
the for the energy.
And he had a G.E. shill in
the room.
This was this was new.
This was new.
He was the CEO.
No, no.
He's a regional guy.
He's a regional guy for G.E. Oh,
I thought it was the CEO of Verona.
No, no, no, no.
But what you're talking about, G.E. Verona.
G.E. Verona, isn't that the show you're
talking about?
No, I don't know if it's G.E.
I thought it was just the guy from
G.E. who deals with the gas turbines.
Well, let's listen.
Maybe we'll learn.
But on a I were doing well.
And I have a man, David Rommel.
Yes, sir.
David, could you say a few words about
what you're seeing on the job front and
all of the some of the assets and
also how we've been helped by the Saudis
in terms of the kind of investment they've
made?
Please.
I must certainly thank you for the opportunity.
I am a facility leader for G.E.
Verona and facility leader.
And if you look at the landscape for
G.E. Verona investment, over seven hundred and
fifty million dollars in the U.S. focused
on true manufacturing jobs here stateside.
We're looking at tripling the output of our
Greenville, South Carolina facility where we make the
gas turbines that are supporting U.S. needs
as well as the Saudi Arabia needs.
So real jobs.
Three hundred million dollars in gas investment resulting
in over five hundred pieces of new equipment
being installed in the Greenville, South Carolina facility.
That translates into roughly eighteen hundred jobs across
the board for G.E. Verona as we
try to scale capacity to be able to
meet this demand.
Along with that, we're partnering with local communities
to build the skill set that's required to
meet these capacity needs.
So that talent pipeline is incredibly important.
So it's real jobs in the manufacturing space.
Well, you've been great and thank you very
much.
And we love that state.
I won that state by record numbers.
I won a lot of states by record.
Texas.
There are a lot of them.
Oh, yeah, Texas.
We're working with Indiana and something right now.
We won that.
We won a lot of them by records,
but that was one of them.
I want to thank you very much.
Say hello to everybody.
Great job.
You're doing a great job.
Thank you.
I love the trolls in the troll room.
They have nothing but negative things to say.
Oh, these jobs won't really happen.
Are these good paying union jobs?
So this guy was Trump has done this
before and every time he does it bringing
a shill from a company who this guy's
a facilities guy.
Bullcrap.
This guy's a PR guy.
Yeah, well, he's slick to be a facilities
guy.
Of course, that's what you are.
So he comes in and he talks about
the GE operation, which these guys are new
guys and the modern.
And it's every time he does it, the
company stock skyrockets.
He's done this before with different.
I've noticed this every you bring this guy
and you watch this stock and I'm not
recommending stocks to anybody.
But I'm just saying that this guy, this
stock will skyrocket like all the rest of
these.
When he brings a shill in.
Yeah, I think there's more going on, more
going on.
Well, there's more going on.
Now, the clip I wanted to play, which
is the Mary Bruce clip.
I just wanted to so we can have
an indication of what a bully Trump is
with people he dislikes.
Wait, is this one of your two minute
clips?
That's two minute and fifty six.
Unfortunately, you can cut it off, but I
just want you to play the you cut
it off.
Gotcha.
Touché.
Gotcha.
Gotcha.
I mean, you're steamrolling me, man.
I was recording this clip.
I said, holy crap, I can't put this.
As soon as I put this clip on
the list, Adam will call me out as
a douchebag for doing it.
You're steamrolling me, man, with your with your
two minute clips.
It's just one.
This one is this.
Here's what this was a follow up question
later in the press conference.
You saw this, I'm sure.
We're because because Bruce is the one who
asked the nasty question about Khashoggi being murdered
by the guy sitting there.
And, you know, and Trump's thinking, what is
she trying to do?
Queer the deal here.
We're trying to get 600 to a billion
trillion dollars into the country.
And she's like trying to humiliate this guy.
So he was irked.
Oh, sorry.
Wait, wait.
I still have to finish the setup because
so you can understand where it came from.
So later in the press, in the press,
back and forth, she throws in another question
about the Epstein files.
And I think it's because he was steaming.
That he he jumps because he has a
very, I thought, a very simple, almost an
inane question, it was not strong worded, it
was kind of not wasn't bad, but he
jumps on her, jumps on her throat.
It's it's but I think it's because of
the previous action.
Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release
the Epstein files?
Why not just do it now?
It's not the question that I mind.
It's your attitude.
I think you are a terrible reporter.
It's the way you ask these questions.
You start off with a man who is
highly respected, asking him a horrible and insubordinate
and just a terrible question.
And you could even ask that same exact
question nicely.
You're all psyched up.
Somebody psyched you over at ABC.
You're going to psych it.
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter
as far as the Epstein files is.
I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein.
I threw him out of my club many
years ago because I thought he was a
sick pervert.
But but I guess I turned out to
be right.
But you know who does have Bill Clinton?
Larry Summers, who ran Harvard, was with him
every single night, every single weekend they lived
together.
They went to his island many times.
I never did.
Andrew Weissman, I hear all these guys were
friends of his.
You don't even talk about those people.
You just keep going on the Epstein files.
And what the Epstein is, is a Democrat
hoax to try and get me not to
be able to talk about the 21 trillion
dollars that I talked about today.
It's a hoax.
Now, I just got a little report and
I put it in my pocket of all
the money that he's given to Democrats.
Now, I'm just going to stop it here,
because this is exactly what I was saying.
And he's unhinged.
He's unhinged here because her attitude wasn't that
bad.
No, he's not on that question.
No, but he's pissed off that nobody's reporting
on them.
He says 21 trillion.
I can't quite find 21 trillion, but it's
certainly a lot of money and that that's
getting no press and that, you know, he's
fighting the what he calls fake news, but
he's doing a very uncharacteristically poor job at
it by.
Well, I think he's discombobulated for a number
of reasons.
One, the Khashoggi thing with with her and
that he's really mad at her and which
I think triggered this this rant.
But he's also, I think, irked at his
scheme.
I wrote about this in the newsletter with
some detail.
I think his scheme to release the Epstein
files before the primaries or I'm sorry, not
the primaries, the midterm midterms is it went
off the rails, clearly screwed on this deal,
clearly.
And he's mad because now it's useless.
He's going to all this stuff will come
out and blow over by mid next year.
By summer, it's going to be forgotten completely.
He will have no ammunition go.
He's been Schumer eyes.
I think Schumer, by the way, is behind
a lot of this stuff.
And I don't I credit Schumer with being
smarter than everyone wants to think he is.
Schumer eyes.
That's like a Laura Loomer term.
Loomer eyes, humorized and Schumer's behind a lot
of this stuff.
And he's working behind the scenes to screw
up Trump.
He's smarter than people want to give him
credit for.
He's a schemer.
He's a ax dumb and he's slow.
It seems slow when he reads everything.
But he's got he's got a lot of
things going on.
And Schumer's help get this thing out of
the way.
So you get these these files have to
be released by the end of the next
30 days.
No, no, it's taking 30 days.
So the FBI can scrub Trump out of
them, don't you know?
Yes, this is all part of it.
And the whole thing is got him irked
to an extreme.
But I don't want to go to himself
when he's when he made the question.
Yes.
Yeah, I don't want to is the rest
Epstein.
No, it's mostly him blasting this poor woman.
I'll play a little bit more.
Play a little bit.
He gave me none zero, no money to
me, but he gave money to Democrats.
And people are wise to your hoax.
And ABC's is your company.
Your crappy company is one of the perpetrators.
And I'll tell you something.
I'll tell you something.
I think the license should be taken away
from ABC because your news is so fake
and it's so wrong.
And we have a great commissioner, the chairman,
who should look at that, because I think
when you come in and when you're 97
percent negative to Trump and then Trump wins
the election in a landslide, that means obviously
your news is not credible and you're not
credible as a reporter.
So I've answered your question.
You should go and look at the Democrats
who received money from Epstein, who spent their
time.
Larry Summers was was with him all the
time.
Nobody, Mr. President, nobody cares about Larry Summers.
If you said Larry Summers, who is on
the board of Open A.I., Chad GPT,
that might have gotten a little bit of
legs.
Nobody cares.
Harvard is a pretty good thing.
But he doesn't say that here.
That creep of the fund guy was with
him all the time.
What's his name?
Reid Hoffman.
I don't know.
Reid Hoffman.
He should know.
Reid Hoffman.
This is this is bad that he doesn't
know.
Reid Hoffman.
I don't believe him, though.
Of course he knows Reid Hoffman.
But why isn't he saying Reid Hoffman of
what's that company?
Did he do LinkedIn?
No, he sold LinkedIn.
And now it's come on the big CRM
company.
I don't know.
Yes.
Well, we can figure this out rather easily.
You can ask the robot or you can
just quickly look it up.
But I know he spends a lot of
money on the radical left.
Reid Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under
investigation.
He's a space bag.
You didn't know him a minute ago.
Those are the people.
But they don't get any press.
They don't get any news.
And you're not after the radical left because
you're a radical left network.
But I think the way you ask a
question with the anger and the meanness is
terrible.
You ought to go back and learn how
to be a reporter.
No more questions from you.
Who else has a question?
Yeah, it was LinkedIn.
But he didn't sell LinkedIn.
Yeah, he did.
He sold to Microsoft, didn't he?
Maybe he did.
Anyway, Reid Hoffman's a drip, that's for sure.
Oh, he is.
He's totally he's a dream.
He's like Kara Swisher's buddy.
So did you get the clip from her?
No.
The last pivot?
No, no, no.
I was going to get it.
Then I said, oh, I don't know.
I did not have enough hate this week.
I didn't have enough hate.
I couldn't tell you what she said.
She says that Trump is done.
He's going to quit.
He's going to resign office before December before
the end of this year.
Yes.
In just in time for Christmas, of course.
All right.
So I just want to stick with Saudi
Arabia for a minute, because a lot more
was going on.
We had the U.S.-Saudi summit.
And that's why Elon Musk was there.
And Tim Tim Cook was there.
And Tim Cook was there.
Tim Cook was there.
Yeah.
Tim Cook showed up, of course, because there's
money, money, money, money, money.
Yeah, I realize there's money.
But I didn't I said that when every
time I've seen the list of people show
it, that showed up, Tim Cook was never
mentioned.
Yes, he was.
He was there.
Along with Jensen, Jensen, Jensen, Wang, Jensen, Kuang,
what's his how do you pronounce it?
Jensen, Jensen Wang, Jensen Wang, Jensen Wang from
NVIDIA or as the president says, NVIDIA.
And so they have this sit down and
they're all sitting there and they're talking about
Humane, which you spell H-U-M-A
-I-N, which is this A.I. company
from Saudi Arabia.
This is the kingdom's flagship A.I. enterprise
to drive global A.I. innovation.
Well, oh, yeah.
Well, and it's so they say they're going
to buy six hundred thousand NVIDIA GPUs, which
is a lot, which may, you know, may
have helped the rosiness of Wall Street yesterday,
although that seems to have tapered down a
little bit because everyone's like dropped today.
Yeah.
Where's the money coming from?
People are not stupid.
So then at some point you got to,
you know, this this merry go round of
money, I'll give you a million.
OK, well, I'll take your million, give it
to this guy.
And then I'm going to take that million,
give it to this guy.
Round and round.
And you get a million back.
You go, I'm going to make it two.
Well, let's make it a trillion in NVIDIA's
statement, their written statement.
They even said, we're not even sure that
the, you know, the hundred billion dollars from
from OpenAI, which they base a lot of
their forward looking performance on, that it will
actually happen.
Says, you know, we have an agreement.
Doesn't mean it'll happen.
It's like, OK, there's all this is this
thing is amazing.
So Elon Musk, House of Cards, that's the
technical term.
Yes.
So Elon is there.
And Elon is there because let me see.
I have it here.
X, XAI will be is collaborating with you,
by the way.
And whenever you call something as nefarious as
A.I. humane, like that's like Patriot Act,
you know, like, you know, there's nothing humane
about it.
So there's a 500 megawatt data center project
which will use NVIDIA chips and supposedly XAI's
processing or their system or whatever.
And write songs for the no agenda show.
Exactly.
It's really good for that.
And then Musk just goes off on this
on this futuristic.
Tangent that I just had the clip and
share with Tesla, we wanted to make electric
cars compelling and affordable.
That was the goal.
The with respect to humanoid robotics, there are
no useful humanoid robotics robots at this point.
There are sort of gimmicks, but there are
no there are no actually useful humanoid robots.
And I think Tesla is going to make
the first actually useful humanoid robots.
And this will be quite a revolution.
And I think something that will that everyone
wants, because I was thinking, like, who wouldn't
want their own personal C3PO R2D2?
Oh, yeah, of course, everyone would want one,
right?
Right.
And and then there would be many in
industry providing products and services.
This is why I say that humanoid robots
will be the biggest industry or the biggest
product ever.
Bigger than cell phones or anything else, because
everyone's going to want one and or maybe
one more than one.
And there'll be many in industry.
But but AI and humanoid robots will actually
eliminate poverty.
My prediction is that work will be optional.
Optional.
Optional.
Yes, optional work.
We'll take that.
Yeah.
I mean, it'll be like playing sports or
a video game or something like that.
If you want to work, you know, in
the same way, like you can you can
go to the store and just buy some
vegetables or you could grow vegetables in your
backyard.
It's much harder to grow vegetables in your
backyard, but some people still do it.
I'm smelling ketamine.
If you go out long enough, you see
there's a continued improvement in AI and robotics,
which seems likely the money will will will
stop being relevant at some point in the
future.
OK, so he's taken the the world economic
forums.
You will own nothing and be happy to
work will be optional.
Money will be irrelevant.
Come on.
This is nuts.
That that's a shark jump of epic.
You're a shark.
Jumping proportions.
You're a little insert.
There is probably right on the money.
Yes, I smell ketamine.
So I want to remind people of a
little history here.
We had a superstar who I know.
Entrepreneur named Nolan Bushnell.
Oh, Nolan.
Yeah.
Do you remember his robot?
No, I don't remember Nolan Bushnell at all.
Well, Nolan Bushnell is a very famous guy.
Invented.
He started off by inventing Pong.
And then, you know, it's Chucky Chucky cheese
is his thing, too.
But he had a bunch of companies and
his big invention in 1983.
He had a robot because this was the
eighty three.
I remember very clearly I was writing the
Topo robot.
Topo Topo and the Topo was was a
big deal.
And it was it was the year of
the robot.
That's what everyone called it.
If you look at all the computer magazines
in that era, year of the robot.
This is the year the robot.
And they had an exhibit of Topo the
robot at Comdex, I believe, or yes, probably
Comdex.
And Topo was the whole job was to
go to they had a stage set up
and Topo would go and make a route
to the refrigerator, somehow open the door of
the refrigerator and grab a beer and then
bring the beer to the owner.
It's a lot.
It reminds me of the AIBO.
Remember the Sony AIBO?
That came much later.
Yeah, I know.
But the Sony AIBO was, oh, this is
you're all going to have a robot dog.
Yeah.
And it was like a four hundred dollar
robot dog.
Four hundred?
I thought there was more than that.
It was expensive and it basically did nothing.
So.
All right.
So since we're on history, then Jensen comes
in to talk.
And this is the most bearish talk on
AI that I've ever heard.
There's no there's no news about, you know,
how it's going to be smarter than human
beings, smarter than the smartest professor.
He's pretty realistic.
Just as a reminder.
He's his company.
This has never been released as information, but
his company did a huge study on on
productivity of A.I. And they could not
find any positive benefits.
No, he's got a he's got a dim
attitude about it.
Yeah.
Well, MIT had published their their paper and
basically said the same.
So.
Yeah.
So.
But he makes a claim here that I
want to put to the test by asking
you, are we going to have an A
.I. bubble?
Well, so the question is, are we going
to have an A.I. bubble?
But he'll get into why?
Of course not.
That's the last question.
All right.
All right.
Well, let me just tell you what we
see.
OK, so so I think it's really important
when you look at what's happening around the
world and go back to first principles of
what's happening in computer science and computing.
There are three things that that's happening.
The first thing is that we all know
that Moore's Law has run its course and
the ability that the what?
Yeah.
Oh, Moore's Law has run its course.
Moore's just so we can take this into
context.
Please give us the definition of and maybe
some background on Moore's Law.
Yeah.
Gordon Moore came up with this idea.
Back in Intel.
Right.
Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel,
decided that he noticed this because he worked
at Fairchild.
And he went to and then they started
Intel.
And he felt that the number of transistors
per square per square centimeter will is was
doubling.
And it would continue to double it every.
I think the initial thought was every 12
months.
But then I think people changed Moore's Law
to every 18 months.
The number of transistors will double.
And that means that the that means that
the size, price, everything.
Yeah, it would be it would be at
the same price or lower.
Yes.
But twice as powerful.
And because more transistors is more powerful.
So you get more power for the same
amount of money in the same space.
And that was the idea.
And it was going to continue for an
umpteenth years.
It seems to still be in play, more
or less.
Well, not according to Jensen.
It has run its course.
Now it's more expensive.
The first thing is, well, for his company.
Yeah, that's the way to go.
You know, more expensive than Moore's Law has
run its course.
And the ability that the amount of demand
for computing versus the amount of computation we
can get out of general purpose computing is
really challenging.
And so the world's been moving to accelerated
computing for some time.
We've been pushing this now for some over
20 years.
I love the term.
He doesn't call it a he calls it
accelerated computing.
Let me give you one statistic.
I was just at supercomputing six years ago.
CPUs were 90 percent of the world's supercomputers,
top 500 supercomputers six years ago.
This year, less than 15 percent went from
90 percent to 10 percent.
And meanwhile, accelerated computing went from the other
way, 10 percent to now 90 percent.
OK, so you're seeing that inflection point, the
transition in high performance computing from general purpose
computing to accelerated computing.
Well, one of the one of the most
data intensive, one of the most intensive computation
things that the world does in cloud is
data processing.
Several hundred billion dollars of computation is done
on just raw data processing, nothing to do
with AI, just SQL processing data frames.
You know, everybody's names, address their their sex,
their their age, where they live, you know,
how much money they make.
All of that sits into a data frame.
And that data frame drives the world today,
whether it's in banking or, you know, whether
it's in credit cards or, of course, e
-commerce and everything from ad recommendation.
And everything is driven off of that data
frame.
That data frame costs hundreds of billions of
dollars to go compute.
And so that's the number one thing.
End of Moore's Law.
End of Moore's Law, because we need accelerated
computing to slice and dice your information.
Moore's Law has nothing to do with the
kind of computing you do.
It has to do with the number of
transitions you can put on a die.
I know it's neutral to what he's talking
about.
What you got to do is just throw
out words like data frames.
It's those data frames that are really the
problem.
I really don't understand why he's I think.
No.
Well, wait, there's more.
I think you stumbled onto what he what
he's trying to do.
Yeah.
Get ready.
Get ready.
Get ready.
There's a payoff.
Even I got two more.
The second thing is generative AI.
That's no agenda.
End of show mixes.
What the and art and art.
Yes.
The most important application of the last 15
years is making art for the no agenda
show is called Rex's Rex's.
OK, here's a test.
Do you know what Rex's is?
I think he made it up.
I think he made it up.
I never heard of Rex's yet.
Of the last 15 years, it's called Rex's
recommender systems.
How do we know what information to recommend
to us in a social feed?
So so your algo is Rex's.
Oh, so.
Oh, it's just different than what we had
25 years ago when Netflix first started and
started recommending movies.
If you like this, you'll like this.
Yes.
But what is that different?
Is it somehow different?
What he falls short of saying is that
we'll your refrigerator will know exactly when to
order the milk.
I mean, this is that level of bull
crap, bull crap.
The worst here to recommend to us in
a social feed.
How do you know what ad to recommend
to somebody?
What book to recommend?
What movie to recommend?
Oh, that's so hard.
How about, hey, listen, no agenda show.
We give you tip of the day.
We give you interesting stock insights.
You don't need Rex's for that.
You need a podcast.
The world is the Internet is so gigantic
without a recommender system that the little tiny
phone of us will have no chance of
ever seeing the right information.
So without Rex's, that little tiny phone will
have no chance whatsoever of receiving the right
information.
This is bullshit.
It is bullshit.
Pardon me, but largely it's mostly a retread
of old ideas before a shoehorned into the
AI model.
Yes, we continue.
That Rex's is the engine of the Internet
today.
It's the engine of the Internet.
Oh, that's news to me.
Yes, that's going generative AI.
It used to be running on CPUs.
Now it runs on GPUs, which then says
the third thing.
When if you just look at those two
applications, many of the Internet companies can build
enormous number of GPUs, supercomputers just doing that.
Of course, then it creates the third opportunity
on top of it, which is agentic AI.
This is rock and this is open AI.
This is anthropic.
OK, so agentic AI.
I'll just explain it real quick.
Agentic AI is basically a Google search that
you don't have to parse through.
We and I use it.
You use it.
You type something in.
It goes on.
Idiot wouldn't use it.
Yeah, it goes out and says, OK, I
found 40 Web pages.
I'm going to read these.
It's pretty good at that.
I'm going to summarize these.
I'm going to do some basic reasoning.
Look at the contradictions.
And I'm going to say, well, it looks
like this is your answer, which is 30
to 50 times more expensive than throwing up
a web page of rank page or page
rank results and no ads, no way to
monetize and very expensive.
That is agentic AI.
You know, this is Gemini agentic AI sits
on top of that.
But don't you know, don't forget to think
about what is happening above, underneath what everybody
sees as AI today.
What?
Don't forget.
Whatever you do, don't forget, which basically means
forget.
Don't forget what's going on above, underneath, over
there.
Some of this is just not what you
see.
And it's magic behind the scenes above, underneath
what everybody sees as AI today.
There's a whole movement of computing from general
purpose computing to accelerated computing.
And that if you just if you take
that into consideration, you'll come to the conclusion
that, in fact, what is left over to
fuel that revolutionary agentic AI is not only
substantially less than you thought.
And all of it justified.
All of it isn't Salesforce.
All of it.
What?
Justified.
It's all just what you mean.
Just what does that mean?
Justified.
What do you mean it's justified when you're
sanctified?
You're justified.
Don't don't tell me what it means.
I don't know.
Hey, hey, Adam.
Yes.
Justified.
That means the expense that you're putting into
this is justified.
Take it from me.
Oh, why do you say it that way?
If you say that, I can believe that's
maybe what he meant.
One positive thing.
He was wearing a suit.
He was not wearing.
No, he wasn't wearing his cheap leather thing.
No, he was not cheap at all.
No, he was not wearing the motorcycle jacket,
a suit, a tie.
And now, as the final clip, I don't
think he needs a tie in this.
Well, it's the Saudis.
He needs the money.
He needs the money to go into everything
to buy his chips.
Six hundred thousand chips.
GPUs.
So now is now he's going to go
off the rails with all of these.
The chips are like, what do they cost?
I think they're three or six thousand dollars
a pop.
The full GPU.
Yeah.
The GPU unit, if you have this, that
one GPU, that's super expensive.
Well, you can get them up to thirty
thousand dollars or more.
I mean, they have all kinds of gear,
but the low level low end.
Thirty nine.
Ninety nine.
If you can get it.
Anyway, it's three thousand nine hundred ninety nine.
So now he's going to now he's going
to bring into this humane thing, which is
like, hey, guys, you're going to buy this
for me and look at all the cool
things you'll be able to do with it.
What we're announcing, we're announcing all kinds of
things.
Our partnership with Humane is going incredibly well.
First of all, we we work together to
get this company started and off the ground
and just got an incredible customer with Elon.
Could you imagine a startup company approximately zero
billion dollars in revenues now going to build
a data center for Elon?
Five hundred megawatts is gigantic.
This company is off the charts right away.
Hold on a second.
Did he say, can you imagine a company
with zero billion dollars?
That's exactly what he said.
Why doesn't he just say with no sales?
What do you mean zero with zero trillion
dollars?
When Jim is the point of that.
Most of it's a propagandistic way of saying
is stating it.
Most people when they get up, they just
put on their pants one leg at a
time.
Jensen gets up and he thinks billions.
Even if it's zero, this show makes zero
billion dollars a year.
And can you imagine?
Can you imagine a podcast that started by
making zero billion dollars a year?
It's amazing.
A billion dollars in revenues now going to
build a data center for Elon.
Five hundred megawatts is gigantic.
This company is off the charts right away.
No, it's not.
It's not even built.
There's nothing built.
Five hundred megawatt charge is right away.
It was zero billions.
In addition to that, we're working, working.
AWS, as you know, is also.
Congratulations to the humane team with AWS.
Yeah, congratulations.
With a gigawatt ambition.
And Mary McCord.
So AWS is also coming to humane.
We're working with humane on Omniverse Digital Twins.
Omniverse Digital Twins.
Oh, man, I'm hanging on his every word
now.
As you know, that A.I. is not
just wait.
What the hell is Omniverse Digital Twins?
It's I don't know, but I want some.
I need it after my robot.
I need some Omniverse Digital Twins.
This this is smoke.
He's off the rails.
What happened to him?
Gets better.
The U.S. is also coming to humane.
We're working with humane on Omniverse Digital Twins.
As you know, that A.I. is not
just.
Well, just agentic A.I. and chatbots and
cognitive A.I. No, it's it's this exactly
what it is.
It's chatbots and and questions and chatbots and
art and videos.
It's nothing.
You know.
An Omniverse Digital Twin is a physically accurate,
real time vertical replica of an object process
or environment created on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform.
The Omniverse platform.
What is the Omniverse platform?
With enterprise ecosystem.
This is this is good gobbledygook.
Yeah, it's great.
It's great.
It integrates with enterprise.
I wish I had the right voice for
it.
It integrates with enterprise ecosystems, connecting real world
data from sources like Internet of Things, sensors,
MES and ERP systems to the photorealistic 3D
model for visualization and analysis.
This enables companies to simulate, optimize and monitor
operations in a virtual space, improving design, planning
and efficiency for applications, raising from factories and
data centers to.
And it goes on and on and on.
This is he should he should cut his
hair into a mohawk.
That's a very inside joke.
Good one, though.
Thank you.
As you know, that AI is not just
well, just agentic AI and chatbots and cognitive
AI is incredibly important to the world.
But AI applies to everything.
Chemicals and proteins and genes and physics and
fluid dynamics and particles and, of course, robotics
and activation.
And we created this world called Omniverse.
Yeah, it's important to activate that about activation,
baby.
It's activation, robotics and activation.
And we created this world called Omniverse where
robots can learn how to be good robots.
And oh, the Omniverse teaches robots how to
be good robots.
There it is.
That's what robots are we talking about?
The ones that don't exist yet.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
And we created this world called Omniverse where
robots can learn how to be good robots.
And it's physically based.
It obeys the laws of physics.
And so robots can learn.
Don't all robots have to obey the laws
of physics?
Doesn't everything in the physical world have to
obey the laws?
Good catch.
I mean, come on.
So the world called Omniverse where robots learn.
What else could it do and how to
be good robots?
And it's physically based.
Here comes the kicker.
It obeys the laws of physics.
So robots can learn in these environments.
And we're working with Humane to apply Omniverse
to all kinds of digital factories and robotics
and warehouses and things like that.
Digital factories.
What do the digital factories make?
Digitals.
Digital cars?
No, just digital.
Now, wait for it, because here's the kicker.
And so that's another.
We're also working in Saudi Arabia to build
supercomputers to simulate quantum computers.
And using our computers to be the controller
and the error correction, one quantum error correction
requires an enormous amount of computation.
And so we're doing a lot of great
work there, too.
So a big partnership with Humane.
They're off the charts, off the ground.
Off the ground, off the charts.
We're going to simulate quantum computing.
OK.
Come on.
So no wonder that's the end.
The stock is down.
So just as a.
Simulate quantum.
Why?
That makes zero sense.
They can't make a quantum computer.
How can you simulate something you can't make?
OK.
To balance that bull crap.
This is like, this is the worst case
example of it.
This is going back to our Silicon Valley
days where they had Silicon Valley speak.
He's reinvigorated it.
Yes.
And they've decided to make their own linguistic
model.
Off the ground and off the charts.
And by the way, activation does somehow fit
in with omni, whatever the hell it is.
What was it?
I can't find the definition for it.
What was the thing that the word that
J.C. came up with?
The phrase that is being used.
It's like, what is not?
What is the trend?
I can't remember what he has.
A bunch of these.
He's tracked a bunch of I don't remember.
We need to write them down.
We need to write them down because we
do.
This is getting good.
It's almost like back in the web design
days.
Well, what is the conceit of your website?
I'm going to tell you.
Not concept, conceit.
All right.
To balance this out.
Three clips, relatively short, except for the first
one.
Ned Block, professor at New York University, Department
of Philosophy and Psychology.
And there's a very long interview.
It's really good.
And he wrote a paper.
He says, you know, Chad GPT or he
says Chad GPT.
But in general, he means large language models.
A.I. has no intelligence.
And he wrote a paper about it.
Mere intelligent responding does not show intelligence of
the machine that is doing the responding.
Because the machine's responses can be just conduits
for something that somebody has put into it.
Am I right that you maybe in this
paper, you referred to it as a string
searcher or the searcher?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that became the blockhead.
That was one version of it.
Yeah.
So the paper is titled Psychologism and Behaviorism.
What is psychologism?
And then how does that connect?
Psychologism is the very minimal thesis that in
order for behavior to reflect thought, you need
an internal processing condition.
But, you know, since we don't know what
thought is, we can't really say what the
internal processing condition is.
But behavior isn't good enough.
That's the idea of it.
And the reason this has come up in
regard to Chad GPT is that people realize
that Chad GPT is very behavior dominated.
And, you know, there's a recent paper by
Raphael Millier and Cameron Buckner, which raised the
question of Chad GPT's and another large language
model's intelligence in terms of to the extent
to which it isn't a blockhead.
So the idea is that it isn't just
reproducing what was in the database.
Although I have to say that there are
a lot of things that Chad GPT does
that are very memory dominated.
And he gives us two examples which we
can replicate ourselves.
Everybody bring up your Chad GPT.
This is one we already knew, but they
still haven't been able to fix it.
And of course, it's because there's no intelligence.
It doesn't actually understand your question and doesn't
know how to interpret it and give you
the correct answer.
It just gives you whatever string it found
that kind of matches your query and it
spits it out.
Try this.
Ask it to draw a picture of a
group of watches showing three minutes after 12.
OK, so the minute hand and the hour
hand are very close together.
What you will get is 10 after 10.
And if you do try to do 628,
where the hands are very close together, you'll
get 10 after 10 again.
And the reason for this is that the
pictures of clocks and watches on the web
are dominated by 10 after 10 because it's
the most attractive look.
I think we've tried that one.
That wasn't new to me.
But this one is even better.
Everybody in OpenAI knows about this and they
have been unable to cure it.
This is a widespread example.
It's been an example that people have pointed
to for years.
And they still can't figure it out.
Well, I mean, they could.
Maybe there's some artificial way to get the
machine.
The thing they use to deal with problems
like this is called reinforcement training.
That's your hard coding.
The reinforcement training hasn't worked.
Probably because there are too many times other
than 10 after 10 that would have to
be reinforced.
I'll give you a second example.
Ask Chad Chibitie to draw a picture of
somebody writing with their left hand.
Yeah.
You will get a right-handed writer every
single time.
Every single time.
So there's no intelligence in this stuff.
It's just sucked it all up.
But we know he's doing that.
I know.
But this is fun for people to go
to their friends and neighbors.
And you're going to have Thanksgiving and everyone's
going to be like, oh yeah, Chad Chibitie.
Yeah.
Why don't you ask it to draw a
picture of a clock that says 628?
Why don't you ask it to find a
picture for you of someone writing left-handed?
And then you will be amazing at this
Thanksgiving dinner.
People are like, wow.
Wow.
Maybe it's not smart.
Just a thought.
Just a thought.
I don't know how many Thanksgiving dinners you've
been to, but I have never been to
one where somebody has a computer at the
table.
Everybody has their phone.
Their phone.
Anyway, now let's go to Epstein because this
was the big, big, big story.
And there were just some great moments in
some of the mainstream reporting and coming out
of the White House.
The Senate approved the bill without even holding
a vote after near unanimous approval by the
House.
By the way, who pushed that?
What?
I hope they mention who pushed the bill
through without the vote.
It wasn't Schumer.
It was Schumer.
It was Schumer.
They were Schumerized.
Yeah, okay.
You made your point.
The Senate approved the bill without even holding
a vote after near unanimous approval by the
House Tuesday.
The bill is passed.
All of it is highly unusual in a
city accustomed to political gridlock.
The law orders the Justice Department to release
all unclassified documents relating to Epstein and his
associates within 30 days.
We'll continue to follow the law and to
have maximum transparency.
There's potentially one big roadblock for transparency ahead.
A new investigation ordered by the president who
told Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate ties
between Epstein and prominent Democrats.
The Justice Department and FBI previously said they
did not uncover evidence that could predicate an
investigation against uncharged third parties.
Now on Trump's orders, the Attorney General has
changed her mind.
What changed since then that you launched this
investigation?
Information that has come forward.
Information.
I've got information, man.
New shit has come to light.
There's information, new information, additional information.
Oh, man.
This is going to be such a disappointment
for everybody because we already know, we just
need the names.
Massey already basically said it when he was
cross-examining Cash Patel.
And it's going to be some fun names.
And, you know, we already understand a couple
of them.
And just to regurgitate them here, here are
the names that will be found in the
files.
These aren't the names, but you can guess
most of them.
According to victims who cooperated with the FBI
in that investigation, these documents in FBI possession,
your possession, detail at least 20 men, including
Mr. Jess Staley, CEO of Barclays Bank.
By the way, another takedown of the Brits
with another British victim of the Epstein revelations.
After we had Prince Andrew, after we had
Mandelson, the ambassador to the US from the
UK, now it's the Barclays Bank CEO, oopsie,
who Jeffrey Epstein trafficked victims to.
Victims, including minors, such as Virginia Roberts, you
free, may she rest in peace.
That list also includes at least 19 other
individuals, one Hollywood producer.
One Hollywood producer, Dana Brunetti?
It seems unlikely.
You never know.
He's hidden on the ranch.
You don't know.
Okay.
But you know what?
I bet you he knows who it is.
I bet you he does too.
And he's going to tell us.
If I stop pestering him about his Tesla.
Teslas are great.
Now tell us, tell us, tell us.
If you say that, he'll tell us everything.
Okay.
I love Teslas.
I wish I had a Tesla.
Worth a few hundred million dollars.
One royal prince, one high profile individual in
the music industry.
High profile individual.
That could be anybody.
But I'm thinking Clive.
Yeah, but Clive is gay and they only
have female victims.
Clive is gay.
He's gay as a three dollar bill.
He's part of the Diddy thing.
He got out of that.
He got off scot-free.
He was definitely part of the Diddy.
I wonder who it could be.
I don't know.
Maybe it was Diddy.
He could be deemed.
Yeah, he could be deemed.
Yeah, I know that would have been, he'd
been caught up in that by now.
Let's continue.
One very prominent banker.
That will be Barclays guy.
Or just another banker.
Well, it's got to be someone at JPMorgan
Chase.
And I don't think it's Jamie Dimon, but
it's got to be one level below him
because the things that JPMorgan Chase was doing
with his money.
How much do you need?
Cash?
800,000?
Okay, send 50 grand to that girl.
Yeah, it has to be somebody at JPMorgan.
You're right.
One high profile government official.
No.
Clinton.
It has to be Clinton.
Yeah, of course.
One high profile former politician.
Well, that could also be Clinton.
Well, that could be Clinton too.
He's in there twice.
So there's got to be at least one.
There could be so many.
This is a mystery.
We will soon know.
One owner of a car company.
That's got to be the Ferrari guy.
In Italy.
You think I don't think he did Ferrari?
No, but listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.
One high profile former politician.
One owner of a car company in Italy.
Come on, in Italy.
What other guy in Italy?
Fiat.
Oh.
Maybe.
Ferrari guys don't need to go to this
place.
Come on.
They got one Ferrari to drive around.
They can get anyone they want.
Hey, babe, want a ride?
One rock star.
One rock star.
Well, you should know who this is.
Oh, man.
If Bernini knows who the producer is, you
have to know who this is.
I'm hoping it's Bono.
That would, that would just, that would, that
would just.
Oh, that would really be perfect.
That would be great if it was Bono.
That would be excellent.
One magician.
That's got to be Copperfield.
There's no other magician.
One magician.
What other magician?
And Copperfield, I think he was on one
of the flights, wasn't he?
Wasn't he in the flight log?
Was he?
Well, then it would be him.
Yeah.
And he always.
He looks like the kind of guy that
would be.
He looks like that kind of guy.
He just has a look.
At least six billionaires, including a billionaire from
Canada.
We know these people exist in the FBI
files.
The files that you control.
I don't know exactly who they are, but
the FBI does.
Yeah.
So we'll find out.
And six billionaires will include Bill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Bill.
Five other billionaires or four others and one
in Canada.
Yeah.
The Canadian billionaire is probably a property guy.
Now, but notice Massey didn't say these, these
girls were underage.
Trafficking can be, can be transporting someone across
state lines, even if it's, if it's with
their cooperation.
It's all so sketchy.
Well, what we really want to know is
what about MI6?
What about Mossad?
What about CIA?
What about these connections?
What about your connections to MIT?
Joy Ito?
Come on.
This is the stuff that we care about.
Everyone's pedophiles.
Nah, it's going to be less than you
think.
Pretty sure of that.
It's going to be disappointing because you know,
that's always disappointing.
That's the whole theme that we've noticed over
almost, you know, over 18 years of doing
the, of the no agenda era.
Yes.
Well, they scrubbed Trump out of it, man.
That's why he had, that's why he had
the 30 days.
Scrubbed him, scrubbed him out, scrubbed him out.
So, yeah, well, they, that's not going to
fly.
That doesn't make any sense.
No.
Okay.
So there's a new op.
We already felt it coming.
Now it's definitely on deck.
The op is, uh, you might've noticed there's
not a lot of Israel hate lately.
Not as much as it used to be.
Now it's Islam, Muslims, the Muslims, the Muslims
in Texas, baby.
So yes, the, I don't, did I have
a clip on this?
I have a couple.
Do you have anything?
I'm looking.
Cause I remember, cause this you're right.
There's been two or three things.
They've re maybe.
No, I thought, well, one of the tick
talkers went off about this, but I don't
have it.
It's there.
They're bitching about that.
You know, that Muslim compound up there by
Fort Worth or wherever it is, which doesn't
even exist yet.
Doesn't exist yet, but they've already renamed it
to the meadow.
Yes.
So that that's just, and this, by the
way, this is rampant in Fredericksburg.
Everyone's texting everybody.
The same thing where you see this Sharia
law in Sharia law in Texas.
You see this map zoom in and it's
like they built 48 mosques in two years,
which that I actually went and did some
digging.
Not true at all.
And takes a big place.
48 mosques.
You know, there's 300,000 churches in America.
It's not like we have to be all
of a sudden be super afraid.
But now this is the new meme.
We know that Flynn brought a whole bunch
of influencers to DC to talk about the
danger of Islam.
And this is kind of that's what triggered
this whole thing.
No, I can tell you exactly what triggered
it.
And this is from this is a group
that's working on this op.
It is a total op.
It's all political.
It's all about the midterms.
I have no doubt about it.
This is what the op is supposed to
accomplish more a Democrat, a bigger blue wave.
No, no, no, no.
The op is supposed to accomplish the opposite,
the red wave.
Yeah, yeah, right.
Of course, because it all started going to
do it through Muslim hate.
Ah, but they're going to.
You have to understand this.
The rare foundation, which is not a foundation,
as far as I can tell, Resistance Against
Islamic Radicals, R.A.I.R., which is
a fun little take on C.A.I
.R. The Council of American Islamic Relationals is
professional.
They don't really have as much juice as
I thought they would.
I said juice, J.U.I.C.E.
But this is the kind of stuff that
they put out.
And it all started with Mondami.
On Rare TV, we are naming the threat
plainly.
Our enemies have placed a dangerous foreign infiltrator
inside New York's government.
And his name is Zohra Mondami.
And under federal law, he has been eligible
to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.
The question is, why is our government not
acting?
Mondami became a U.S. citizen in 2018.
Under federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C.
Section 1451A, citizenship can be revoked if it
was obtained by concealment or misrepresentation, or if
within five years, the individual affiliates with communist,
totalitarian, or terrorist movements.
Mondami did exactly that.
He publicly defended the Holy Land Five, the
men convicted on 108 counts of financing Hamas.
No, I can't find any evidence of this,
nor do they show any evidence or link
to any evidence.
They just say it.
He is a card-carrying member of the
DSA.
I don't think the DSA has cards.
I don't think they have cards, no.
This is a Bank of America card, or
MasterCard.
It's not a political party.
It's a socialist Marxist group who do auditions
and train people who look good, theater kids,
and put them into positions of power.
It has nothing to do with him being
Muslim.
It has everything to do with him being
the right guy, like AOC.
It's the same thing.
You can't carry the card.
Also the tattoo guy up in Maine.
Yeah, the tattoo guy.
The largest Marxist operation in America, openly aligned
with foreign communist parties in Cuba, Europe, Asia,
Africa, and Latin America.
Openly allied.
What does it even mean?
He expressed allegiance to the Communist Party of
India in 2020, well inside the five-year
window, and he glorified Hamas's U.S. finance
arm in a 2017 recording, before he took
the oath of citizenship.
Okay.
So this is now propagated by influencers everywhere,
because this is the thing you've got to
jump on.
And by the way, Candace Owens, you better
jump to this, because the Israel thing is
over now, and everyone has now moved over
to Muslims.
What they're all pointing towards, of course, is,
well, this is what happened in the UK.
This is what happened in Europe.
Well, absolutely.
You can do the UK analogy.
That's a good idea.
Absolutely.
That might get you some votes.
And it's intended to do that.
That's exactly what it's intended for.
Here's one of the influencers.
American Lumberjack.
This, what you're seeing on your screen right
now, is not another country.
It's America.
And this...
Don't even know if it's America, but okay,
we'll take his word for it.
A bunch of chanting Muslims.
Gathering here of Muslims was in the city
of Irving, Texas, where two Sharia law courts
are operating, and have already ruled on over
300 cases.
Now, do you understand how serious this Islam
problem is, America?
Yes, two Islamic tribunals operate in the United
States, functioning as voluntary arbitration panels, you know,
applying Sharia law and Sharia principles in civil
disputes like divorce and inheritance.
This is how it starts.
Just like the UK, slow at first, and
then boom, it's here.
And then boom, it's here.
These setups comply with Texas arbitration laws, but...
So did you hear the meme in there?
48 mosques in two years.
It's just not true.
By the way, the map you're showing, that's
a pretty big area.
That's a big area.
So yeah, there's mosques all over America.
Big deal.
They portray it as all these Muslims, they're
in there.
They're all doing Sharia law.
They're going around American law.
They don't care.
They're going to take us over.
They're going to...
The enemy from within.
According to the Constitution of the United States
of America, there is no other law allowed
in the land except for the Constitution.
And if this wasn't bad enough, the NYPD
is teaching people how to wear hijabs.
Oh, hijabs.
Oh, yes.
Oh, my gosh.
Hijabs.
Hijabs, hijabs, hijabs.
Let's vote for hijabs.
Yeah, hijabs.
Oh, we're going to be very afraid.
So this is working because Abbott, I think,
is under fire.
This is why they're talking about Texas.
Abbott is under fire.
He's not universally loved in Texas for a
whole bunch of reasons.
Well, he doesn't jump, but he comes into
action when, you know, there's a flood or
something else going on.
So he immediately feels there's something wrong.
I got to do something about this.
I got to jump on this.
All right.
Let's stay in Texas because Governor Greg Abbott
made news this morning by declaring two groups
as foreign terrorist organizations.
Let's go to our Breaking News Correspondent, Chanel
Paul, who's been following the story for us
from the newsroom in New York.
Chanel, what did the governor have to say
today?
Well, he made this announcement, Mugo, this morning
through this proclamation, essentially now designating two groups,
the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American
Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist groups.
OK, so a proclamation, whatever.
It's just it's a statement.
But it's the Muslim Brotherhood that we're bringing
back.
Oh, the Muslim Brotherhood.
Yes, yes, yes.
Which is the creation of the MI6, I
believe.
Well, let's just actually we could.
Didn't I have that Galloway thing?
Should probably play that here.
Here we go.
This is George Galloway.
We played it on the previous episode.
Here he goes.
Indeed, this has a long and inglorious history.
The British invented it, as in so much
else.
We helped found and nourished, nurtured the Muslim
Brotherhood in Egypt in the early 1950s so
that we could use them against the Arab
nationalist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser, President Nasser.
We invented the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was invented in London and it was
its first outing, though not its last, was
to undermine the pan-Arabic message of the
Nasserists.
And well, we've fallen out with the Muslim
Brotherhood from time to time, but occasionally they
can still be useful to each other, if
you get my drift.
All right.
So I knew this was an op for
sure when I saw not one, but two
guests pop up on Bannon's war room talking
about this.
Oh, oh, Muslims, Muslims.
Oh, I have to ask you this.
What do you think?
Do you think Bannon would be part of
an op like this, or you think he's
been so kicked out of the circle of
ops that he's just a dupe?
No, no, no.
When you hear him talk, he's in on
the op.
The first guy is John Guandolo, former FBI
special agent, counterterrorism expert.
In 2022, he organized training sessions for right
-wing citizens about the perceived threat of communist
and jihadist networks and to organize communities into
operational forces to identify roots of corruption and
dismantle the hostile networks behind it.
And here it comes.
And reestablish a Republican form of government at
the local level, which were joined by former
Trump national security advisor, Michael Flynn.
So this is a Flynn guy, and I
think pretty sure Bannon's in on the op.
Talk to me about the state of Texas.
I would assume since Texas is one of
the great Christian states in the union that
we don't have a problem down there with
Islamic jihad creeping in, sir.
Yeah, I think you know better than that.
So about 15- You know better than
that because you're read in on the op,
sir.
You know you're read in.
You know better than that.
So about 15- Actually, that's what he
said.
Yeah, you know better than that.
Why are you sir-ing me?
You know this is an op.
Christian states in the union that we don't
have a problem down there with Islamic jihad
creeping in, sir.
I wonder if he actually is his superior.
He has rank over him.
For some reason, Bannon has to say, sir.
I mean, he's a naval guy after all.
It's possible.
Yeah, I think you know better than that.
So about 15 years ago, I'm going to
back up and just quickly mention this.
You know, we had in Tennessee the jihadi
- Wait, hold on.
Stop this clip.
So first of all, he says you know
better than that as though they're already into
the script way too far.
And then right away, he's going to back
up.
Oh, yeah.
Back up to what?
Who are you backing up for?
Why don't you just answer the question?
I mean, what are you backing up?
I'm going to back up.
All will become relevant in a moment.
Oh, brother.
And just quickly mention this.
You know, we had in Tennessee the jihadi,
the Islamic movement in North America, and specifically
the United States targeted Tennessee.
And my professional assessment is they took Tennessee
under a Republican governor, by the way, which
is what we're seeing in Texas.
They took Tennessee.
It's a playbook.
Did he say they took Tennessee?
He says they took Tennessee under a Republican
governor.
This is an attack on Abbott.
The whole thing is multifaceted, but it is
an attack on Abbott.
Very good again.
Under a Republican governor, by the way.
They're going after Abbott because Abbott is, I
don't know, not towing the line or who
knows what.
They targeted Tennessee and especially Nashville initially.
Is Nashville, has it become a hotbed of
Muslim activity and jihadists?
Is Sharia law in place in Nashville?
No, that doesn't sound right.
No.
Because of the fact they viewed it as
the buckle of the Bible belt, if you
will, when they took it, you know, about
seven and a half years ago, they sent
one of their most significant Islamic jurists, a
guy named Yasser Qadhi to Texas.
And when he moved from Memphis at the
Memphis Islamic Center to Texas, I alerted some
of my colleagues, including, you know, guys like
Frank Gaffney, who you know well and have
had on the show, but others, friends of
mine that do this work a little more
under the radar.
Under the radar.
And we knew that that meant that the
jihadi movement, the Islamic movement in the United
States was targeting Texas.
OK, so got other guys under the radar.
When Frank Gaffney comes up, I'm like, hold
on a second.
We've been doing this show for 18 years.
Let me go back 15.
Let me see if I can find a
clip that is maybe similar to this.
White House is moving toward developing ties with
the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups in
the Middle East.
This is when Obama was president and the
same same means everything was used.
Same guys, same people were going to be
taken over.
Sharia law.
National Journal reports the president believes he has
no choice but to cultivate the Brotherhood and
other groups he believes are relatively moderate.
One State Department official tells the magazine, quote,
The war on terror is over.
And now the Arab world may find a
route to democracy through Islamism.
But those moves may hurt the president politically.
CBN News terrorism analyst Eric Stackelback joins us
now for more on this story.
Eric, you attended an event earlier today, I
understand, about the Muslim Brotherhood.
What did you find out?
Lee, very timely event with what Wendy just
described.
The Obama administration is obviously openly now embracing
Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.
Well, today at the National Press Club here
in Washington, D.C., the Center for Security
Policy had a really eye opening event.
Lee, they are releasing a 10 part online
instructional course, online video instructional course for the
average American all about the Muslim Brotherhood.
It's called the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
It breaks down this group, what they're all
about and why they're so dangerous.
And we spoke to Frank Gaffney, Lee, the
president of the Center for Security Policy.
Let's look at that now.
So same thing.
We're teaching people that's what Guandolo is doing.
Training, training for citizens.
Be afraid of the scary Muslims.
It's so good with social media.
Just have people showing maps and like, oh,
zooming in.
Look at all these mosques.
Oh no, it's horrible.
And they bring back Frank Gaffney.
Jihad, which is commanded by Sharia, takes more
than one form.
We are not winning a war that we
honestly are not even recognizing we're in against
jihadists that are using not just violence against
us, but civilization, jihad as well.
And Lee, I think that was a real
takeaway from this event today.
What Frank Gaffney just said this.
There are many forms of jihad that our
enemies are using.
And not only violent jihad for the Muslim
Brotherhood.
It is a stealthy type.
Frank Gaffney called it civil civilization, jihad.
Their philosophy is, hey, we don't have to
blow you up now.
We can win through elections.
We can get jobs in the media.
The government slowly, slowly infiltrate.
And then the final stage is, yes, violent
jihad.
This is all about getting everybody riled up
for the midterms.
I'm already seeing people running.
Can I ask this?
Yeah.
Do they mention during these interviews back and
forth and back and forth that the entire,
the totality of the Muslim population in the
United States amounts to 1.3%, 1.3
% of the population?
No, of course not.
Of which maybe 200,000 live in Texas.
No, but I doubt that.
Well, I think it's 200,000, but the
thing is the epic thing now renamed as
Meadow.
I mean, those AI videos of what it's
going to look like have been going around
for at least two years now.
They haven't even dug a hole yet.
No.
And the church ladies are beyond themselves.
Oh, half of the pastors who have, there's
pastors, these younger guys, like 40 and all
of YouTube podcasts.
Hold on a second.
You said 40.
Well, I know, I know.
But in pastor land, that's young.
And they have like the YouTube award behind
them.
I've already seen enough.
Dude, really?
You got your YouTube award.
So what is important to you?
Your YouTube award.
All right, fine.
Idolatry.
It's definitely, it's pride.
It's idolatry.
And they're more interested in clicks.
And so they're all in on it because,
you know, this is what I'm sure if
you're talking from the pulpit about, well, we
can't have the Muslims coming in.
Yeah, preach, preach.
No, this is dumb.
And I had two more clips from Bannon.
Here's a continuation with the Guandolo.
And what we've seen is Yasir Qadhi, who
is arguably, if not the top, one of
the top Islamic jurists in the United States,
came to Texas, moved to Plano, became an
Islamic jurist at the East Plano Islamic Center.
Okay, okay, hang on.
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down.
When you say jurist, I want to make
sure you understand.
You're saying a guy that is like a
Supreme Court judge, a guy on Sharia law,
correct?
Very good, Sharia, get the Sharia in there.
And I'm going to get back to Tennessee
in a moment.
You say take it, what they want, and
this is what Frank Gaffney has preached for
two decades.
It's about Sharia supremacism.
That is absolutely correct.
And you just hit on a couple really
important points.
Brilliant.
First of all, Sharia is real law.
We have a lot of people who pose
as, quote, moderate Muslims.
You know, you're Raheel Raza, you're Kanta Ahmed
who go on Fox News and CNN.
And they say, you know, there's Islam and
there's Islamism.
There's Sharia and there's Sharia law.
And they try to parse this out.
When you get Sharia, you get the whole
bag of worms.
And it is really important for everyone to
understand that Sharia states that the purpose of
Islam- Hold on a second.
My understanding is there's always a can of
worms.
I've never heard of a bag of worms.
Correct.
It is really important for everyone to understand
that Sharia states that the purpose of Islam
is to wage war against the non-Muslim
community until Sharia is imposed on the earth,
period.
Yeah, Sharia on the earth, period, everywhere.
Oh, yeah.
You know, by the way, this explains I
don't have these clips.
But now that you brought this up, if
I had an eye out for this a
little sooner, unfortunately, we don't discuss anything.
No.
Well, fortunately, there has been at least three
women TikTokers that have come on extolling the
virtues.
Oh, I was, I turned, I'm a Muslim.
And they go, the young dipshit types.
And they're going on and on about how
they're, you know, and it's disturbing.
And I think it's part of the op.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's the I love Jesus trick.
This is, since you brought it up, I
wasn't going to play it, but I will
play this once again from Rare TV.
Beware Christians from London to Texas.
Beware Christians from London to Texas, because that's
a connection I make every day.
A dangerous and well-funded campaign is spreading
across the West, seeking to deceive believers into
thinking that the Jesus of the Bible is
the same as the Isa of Islam.
They are pouring millions into glossy billboards, T
-shirts and high-tech Islamic recruitment videos, trying
to convince Christians that Muslims love Jesus too.
So as you guys can see, I love
Jesus because I'm Muslim.
This is our first line of merch that
we have released because our program is Dawa,
which is inviting, educating non-Muslims, Americans about
Islam.
One of the biggest misconceptions in our society,
particularly in the West, is that people don't
understand about our love for Jesus Christ, peace
be upon him.
I love Jesus because I'm a Muslim.
Before I was a Muslim, I had no
idea that Jesus prayers and peace be upon
him.
I had no idea that he even had
a place in Islam.
Jesus is revered in Islam.
When I was a Christian, I had a
love and respect and admiration for Jesus.
As a Muslim, that doesn't end.
It only grew.
But behind the slick marketing lies a darker
truth, a global operation to blur the line
between Christianity and Islam, to weaken believers, draw
you from the cross, and expand the ummah
in preparation for an Islamic world order, the
rise of a caliphate.
The rise, oh wait, wait.
The rise of the caliphate!
So you have basically, with that clip, threw
in at least three TikTok clips in a
sub, you know, kind of a subtext.
So I object to that.
That was a good clip overall, except for
the fact that you're so anti.
That was her clip.
I didn't put that together.
I know, but you play.
Yeah, okay.
Only because you brought it up.
I did bring it up, and I wish
I had the clips.
My clips are a little different, but it's
the same exact thing as part of, I
think you, well, let's start with this.
I'm only complaining about you complaining.
But I will say that this op, which
will lose us another group of listeners, as
we normally do with everything.
Who?
I'm just saying right now, we're going to
lose support because we can't, every time we
reveal ops, which are obvious once you deconstruct
them, the more you play, the more obvious
it is.
Yeah, people get mad.
By the way, in my opinion, this particular
op, if we're going to just go with
it 100%, is lame.
If this is the best they can do,
this has got to be some part of
Bannon's group or something.
This is lame.
This is going to get no, this is
not going to drive the vote.
No, of course not.
This is pathetic.
But there's money to be made.
The minute Flynn is in on this stuff,
because that's where we first heard about it,
he brought all...
That's right, don't forget Bannon.
Didn't Bannon build some of the wall?
Oh, yeah.
By the way, when we do ops, we're
not trying to win the approval of human
beings.
We're trying to tell you something.
We're trying to give you truth here.
Nah, you can't handle the truth.
So here's the last one.
This is another Bannon guy.
I can handle it.
The good producers can handle the truth, they
like it.
Yeah, the good ones can.
So this is another guy.
If I hadn't seen two guys in one
week, it would have been less convincing that
Bannon's in on it.
This is Peter McIlvenna.
And Peter McIlvenna, he is co-founder of
Hearts of Oak, a UK-based freedom of
speech alliance.
So there could be a North Sea Nexus
element to this.
Considering the Muslim Brotherhood is a UK invention.
So there may be an angle to this
we haven't quite seen yet.
But here's him.
Texas, by the end of the decade, will
have more mosques than any other state in
the US.
At the moment, California, I think, has got
around 400 mosques.
Texas is around 350.
But Texas added 50 mosques over the last
24 months.
So he's taken it from 48 to 50
now.
So now it's 50 over.
This is the meme.
48 in two years.
He's taken it to 50.
I'm not as rapidly increasing in Irving where
I was.
As rapidly increasing.
No evidence, but it's rapidly increasing.
I'm not as rapidly increasing in Irving where
I was.
Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Slow down.
That's good.
Interrupted.
How many mosques in the last 24 months?
How many?
48 mosques in the last 24 months.
And that is rapidly increasing.
Rapidly.
Rapidly increasing.
Rapidly.
And where I was.
Hang on.
They're opening multiple mosques per month in the
state of Texas.
Yes.
Sounds surprised.
Yes.
And this is not epic city issue, which
is one area that everyone is focusing on.
Thank God.
And this is primarily in the Dallas Houston
area.
And of course, this is in the urban
area.
What did he say?
Dallas Houston.
I know.
It's like there is no Dallas Houston area.
Those are the two.
They're far as far away as you can
get.
This is like this is in the Los
Angeles San Francisco area.
Very good.
I should have caught that one.
Very good.
Very good.
This guy is mainly in the Dallas Houston.
We go on vacation.
Dallas Houston area.
Okay.
My God.
This is primarily in the Dallas Houston area.
And of course, this is in the urban
areas.
I think they're a huge amount of being.
I need to look at my figures, but
they're around 200 mosques, 215 mosques.
I think that are now in the Dallas
Houston area and around 100 plus mosques in
Austin.
Okay.
So we'll just 100 mosques in Austin.
I don't think that's true, but a mosque
can be doesn't have to be a huge
building.
You know, there's just dots on the map.
Anyway, we'll wrap it up with this.
Let's give you a bit of background as
well.
We'll go about these organizations that we're talking
about, including the Muslim Brotherhood.
It may sound familiar to you.
This is a group that was founded in
Egypt.
It really rose to power, rose to influence
after the Arab Spring.
But important to note that it also became
something that Americans grew to see as a
threat in Egypt.
The ideology within the Muslim Brotherhood also spread
to some other groups that you'll now know
Hamas and Hezbollah as well.
But important to mention here that there has
really been no material tie from the Muslim
Brotherhood to care.
Also care, which is an American based group,
has never actually been charged with crimes like
aiding and abetting a terrorist organization.
And finally, I want to mention as well,
Mugo, that when it comes to labeling groups
with this label of a terrorist group or
organization, it's really up to the U.S.
State Department to do that.
What the governor did today was a state
proclamation.
And so I want to show you what
we found on my screen here.
This is a social media post from Greg
Abbott after he had made that proclamation.
And what he's saying is that this will
have an impact in the state of Texas.
And the impact he says it will have
is that it will allow some heightened enforcement
against these two groups as well.
He says you'll see here this bans them
from buying or acquiring land in Texas and
also authorizes the attorney general to sue to
shut them down.
So they're going after Abbott for whatever reason.
But we said, well, this is important.
We have to figure out why they're going
after Abbott.
People don't like Abbott.
Abbott is not popular in Texas.
He's just not.
Yeah, but that's got nothing to do with
Bannon.
He's not.
Is he in Texas?
No, no.
But but they got to start somewhere.
And it's just so when you say Texas
is being taken of the most Christian state
in the nation, I think one of them
said.
Bannon said that when you say that, then
everyone else gets freaked out.
And this whole do we I know we
have.
I think the parallel that you made, which
were pointed out when the guy says, oh,
they took over Nashville, a state run by
a Republican.
We have producers in Dearborn, Michigan.
I would like to know, is it as
bad as the TikTok and Instagram videos portend?
Because all you hear is Dearborn.
Dearborn has been taken over by the Muslims.
They run it all.
And they also play the call to prayer.
Yeah, that it is absolutely true that if
you look at I know the Netherlands for
sure and the UK that Muslims have taken
office in, you know, city councils, mayors.
Absolutely.
Look at the city of London.
I mean, London shouldn't say the city of
London.
Sadiq Khan, you know, and yeah, well, then
get off your your blessed assurance and go
run for office.
Run for office.
Take a genius.
What's that?
Then take a genius to vote somebody out.
No, and run yourself.
I mean, but this is an op.
And I agree with you.
I think it's weak, but it right now
it's it's really dominating the airwaves here in
Fredericksburg.
Everybody's talking about it.
Well, it again, it's another one of these.
Maybe it's experimental to see where it could
go.
So they could show a real op, a
dynamite one could come out closer to the
midterms because these things blow over.
Yeah, this is no good.
It's possible.
That's what all we're looking at.
And it's no big deal one way or
the other.
Could be.
It could be.
Yeah.
And there's gonna be some other experiments.
I've got to do something because Trump's scheme
about the Epstein files fell apart.
Yeah.
And that's not going to that's not going
to have any effect whatsoever.
And the and the Democrats are going to
kick ass.
I've said this before.
I'll say it again.
They're going to kick ass in the midterms
and they're going to impeach Trump again.
And it's next.
The last two years of his administration are
going to be sidelined.
And if you think and then the economy
falls apart.
Well, the economy is going to fall apart
one way or the other, sometimes sometime in
the near future.
It just does.
Well, eventually, sure.
Every 20 years, it does.
And so it's due to to fall apart
in between 2027 and 2028.
By the way, the 2029, probably the redistricting
has been halted here in Texas.
Remember that?
Yeah.
By the some legal thing.
Well, by the same thing is going to
happen in California.
The redistricting in California is not going to
happen.
I said this from the get go.
Constitutional lawyer Rob sent me a whole blurb
about it.
I was one of the one of the
three judges who was even in the in
the what do you call it?
The the opinion that one of the one
of the other two judges wrote said, you
know, you're like a sorrow stooge just going
off on each other about how this one
judge has halted this.
Right now, there's no redistricting happening.
My understanding about the district in Texas and
California is that Texas was told to redistrict.
Well, that's that's the meme.
Yeah, I'm told.
But I know if it's told by Trump,
it's told by Trump.
But it wasn't really one of the judges,
just a Newsom thing.
Yeah.
By the way, thank you for listening, podcast
enthusiasts.
We have clearly a lot of Gen Z
listeners.
We welcome you all.
And thank you for setting a straight on
the straw hat pirate flag.
Holy moly.
How many emails did you receive about this?
Well, all the emails I received.
I hate to say this, but about a
month ago, I described this flag and where
it came from early on.
And it's long since a typical of the
show been forgotten by the listeners.
And they're saying they're trying to educate us.
I got a few.
I must have gotten 50.
Well, I did not get 50.
And that this is from an anime.
Yeah, this is what I said.
Yeah, I don't know a month ago.
I'm sure you did.
I didn't remember it.
Nobody did.
From one piece, one piece.
By the way, Sir Patrick Coble has has
notified me he will be setting up the
no agenda discord so that we can get
some intelligence people in.
Oh, Coble.
Yeah, that's the guy to do it.
That way you have a back door to
the CIA.
Danielle Nevada writes in says as a younger
millennial male, I want to provide my perspective
on the meanness issue.
When I first heard the reports of you
being mean to John, I thought it was
a gag for years has been clear to
me that John is the bully in the
partnership and you are masterful at disarming and
dealing with it.
Thank you.
Exactly.
So Tina wrote that?
No, Leanne came in.
She's actually, I think she lives in California.
Leanne Webb, wife to the OG Godcaster.
Hi, Adam.
John says he wants to hear from the
ladies.
I'm weighing in.
There have been brief moments throughout the whole
18 years of listening to you guys that
both of you have been snippy with each
other.
But it is my humble opinion that John
does a lot to push you and to
try and make you be snippy.
Ah, there it is.
He sometimes just shows up with a genuinely
grumpy attitude.
There are occasions where you, Adam, show up
with a grumpy attitude also, but I must
say it's more rare than it used to
be.
There you go.
Well, that's because he's found Christ.
That's exactly what she says.
That is exactly right.
So I'd say the jury is still out
on who's really the snippy bully.
Well, we both know it's you.
So I have it here.
I have to read this.
This is a douchebag comment because the guy
hasn't donated.
I told him to donate.
Do you have a douchebag voice to do
this in?
No, this is interesting.
I'm a mammologist.
What?
We're talking about the alpha gal.
Oh, yes.
The alpha gal, the Lone Star tick makes
you allergic to meat, apparently.
By the way, I find the name of
this thing alpha gal because they're always talking
about alpha males and the name is alpha
gal.
What is that all about?
I'm a mammologist, he writes.
I just wanted to mention that on the
Sunday show.
This is a minicopa.
You refer to marsupials and some other species
as not mammals.
Oh, no, marsupials are stupid.
Are mammals, you idiot.
And the other species are definitely mammals.
They have hair and mammary glands.
That's the kicker.
That's the kangaroo.
Yes, that's why they're called mammals.
Hello for milk production.
Just an FYI.
This is interesting now.
Now it gets good.
I have had alpha gal from a Lone
Star tick bite.
I was working on bats in North Carolina
and had a tick attached for about 24
hours.
About three months later, I broke out into
full body hives.
And after eating a hamburger, it happened a
few more times after eating beef.
And I went for the test.
In other words, he got sick from eating
the hamburger.
It came back positive.
I was lucky.
I could eat pork and venison, both mammals,
with no ill effect, only beef.
Did he give you his vaccination history?
Which may include alpha gal.
I wait.
He says, I waited two years before introducing
beef little by little back into my diet.
And I'm happy to report I'm back on
the beef baby.
So luckily, it can go away for some
people over time.
Oh, well, good.
Now donate.
I told him to donate when in the
retort.
I sent him and he's and he sent
a note back saying he's been guilted into
donating.
He is going to donate.
Good work.
Probably five bucks.
Hey, value is value.
That's what I say.
We do have some new terms, which I'm
very happy to hear.
Since we have been being educated by our
new Gen Zeds.
I think we just have to keep calling
Gen Zeds.
I think that's better.
The Zeds.
The Zeds are here.
The Zeds are listening.
And the Zeds like it because, you know,
they're not getting duped by AI crap because
we happen to know the background of stuff
like this.
We know historical background.
And, you know, 15 years ago, when we
first played that clip about the Muslim Brotherhood,
there were two.
So welcome Zeds.
We love it to have you here.
But there are some new dating terms that
we should know about since we are woefully
uneducated about today's dating.
Back now in the morning buzz.
Remember situationships?
Well, there's a whole new batch of dating
terms emerging in the digital age.
I can totally relate to all these.
Maybe you're a single looking for love or
a parent who wants to understand what your
teenager is going through.
So here's a quick overview of the current
lingo.
OK, so throning is when you date someone
more popular or powerful to boost your social
status.
And then there's shreking like the movie Ogre.
It means you put looks lower on your
list, hoping that someone shows you their inner
beauty.
But your strategy ends up backfiring, which is
why they call it shreking.
That's a shame.
Another term is banksying like the elusive street
artist.
You slowly withdraw emotionally from your partner without
telling them.
And then there's monkey barring, making sure you
have secured a new love before officially letting
go of your ex.
Sort of like if you quit your job,
you need a new one.
It works the same with relationships.
All of these terms equate to toxic dating.
Just making that very clear here.
One dating coach shared a theory that people
are struggling to make sense of their experiences.
So they're inventing new words to process them.
OK, I don't buy it.
I've heard some some some.
These are like either local terms or nobody
says this crap.
Oh, I've heard throning.
I've heard throning.
Yeah, I've heard throning.
I have a little bit on Venezuela.
If you want to hear it, because I
think I've kind of figured out what's really
going on right now with the Southern Spear,
Operation Southern Spear.
Are you interested?
You think you've figured out what's going on?
Yeah.
It'd be beyond the stopping the drugs into
Europe.
Oh, it's it's definitely part of the North
Sea Nexus, but it's not just about the
drugs.
Here's a quick update on the U.S.
ramping up pressure.
New images tonight showing U.S. Marines training
here in Trinidad and Tobago.
Multiple Osprey aircraft carrying out joint exercises with
the local military as the U.S. ramps
up pressure on Venezuela.
For weeks, Marines from the same unit conducting
live fire training operations across the Caribbean.
Harrier fighter jets bombing targets.
It comes as The New York Times reports
President Trump signed off on additional covert CIA
operations inside Venezuela that could lay the groundwork
for a bigger military campaign, citing multiple people
briefed on the matter.
The president saying this week he is not
ruling out putting U.S. troops on the
ground in Venezuela.
I don't rule out anything.
We just have to take care of Venezuela.
The Times also reporting Trump authorized a new
round of backchannel negotiations with Venezuela's President Nicolás
Maduro, who reportedly offered to step down after
a few years.
But the White House rejected that plan.
David, as far as the end game here,
many experts say, sure, it can be about
stopping drugs in this part of the world,
but it's also very likely about more than
that.
It's very likely about forcing President Maduro from
power one way or another.
Well, not exactly.
And I came across, because we watch all
types of media, a report on RT of
all places, which included in this intro clip
a little statement from the Venezuelan foreign minister
at the recent United Nations gathering.
While everybody was talking about the escalator and
the teleprompter, other things were being discussed.
It seems that the situation surrounding the disputed
South American territory of Essequibo is reaching its
boiling point.
And that's all thanks to the United States
and, as some would say, Washington's never ending
pursuits for other nations, oil and gas.
The government of the United States of America,
considering itself to be the sovereign of our
continent, and with the excuse of the illegal
Monroe Doctrine, has once again intervened in a
territorial dispute that is more than 200 years
old over our territory of Essequibo, Guyana.
Today, the government of the United States of
America wants to appropriate our oil resources using
the company ExxonMobil.
Okay, so if it's not about drugs or
turf, it's always about resources.
This is oil, of course.
Yes, well, this is the disputed land between
Guyana and Venezuela.
And here's a little backgrounder on...
Was that guy from Guyana or Venezuela?
He's from Venezuela.
Now we're going back to RT.
The lady will give us a little historical
lesson about this disputed land and who really
owns it.
What does Washington have to do with the
territorial dispute between Guyana and Venezuela?
Well, let's take it back a little bit.
This is a border dispute between Guyana and
Venezuela.
Each side claims that this stretch of land
belongs to them.
And it's quite a significant portion, just about
160,000 square kilometers.
It's almost a third of Guyana.
It's also very rich in oil and gas.
Venezuela has claimed the territory since it declared
independence from Spain in 1811.
Guyana, which used to be a British colony,
insists that it belongs to them after Britain
gained control through a treaty with the Netherlands
back in 1814.
But the argument here is that the treaty
wasn't specific when it comes to the borders.
Fast forward a few decades and Venezuela asked
the United States for help under the Monroe
Doctrine, which opposed European colonialism in the Western
Hemisphere.
Some even thought that this could lead to
another war between Britain and the US.
Now, a tribunal in 1899 decided that the
majority of the land belonged to the British
colony, which of course was a huge disappointment
for both Caracas and Washington.
But when Guyana became independent in 1966, the
border issue resurfaced.
That's when it was decided, according to a
Geneva agreement, that the territorial dispute would be
reconsidered.
Meanwhile, relations between Venezuela and Washington have deteriorated.
So, it's hardly surprising that Washington no longer
seems to care about Venezuela's case, especially since
Guyana gave drilling license to the US oil
major Exxon Mobil.
And there it is.
Where British Petroleum has licenses in Venezuela, Exxon
Mobil, our guys, have licenses in Guyana.
And about 10 months ago, this happened.
Oops, that was a beautiful cue, but I
screwed it up.
Wow.
Venezuelans voted to claim sovereignty over the oil
-rich Esquibo region in neighboring Guyana, escalating a
longstanding territorial dispute between the countries centered on
energy resources and sparking international concerns about annexation.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro touted the election results
as a total success for the country.
Venezuela's National Electoral Council claimed 10.5 million
voters turned out and passed the five-question
ballot with 95% approval.
Voters were asked if they supported the establishment
of a new state in the Esquibo area
and whether or not current and future residents
there should be granted citizenship.
Both Venezuela and Guyana view the area as
sovereign, and Guyana has argued any action from
Venezuela to claim it would amount in annexation.
Venezuela's interest in the Esquibo region was revived
in 2015, when Exxon Mobil discovered a massive
offshore oil reserve in its waters.
In the eight years since, some 46 offshore
discoveries have been made, accounting for more than
11 billion barrels of recoverable oil resources.
So we got the Guyana region, Esquibo, however
you pronounce it, Exxon Mobil, British Petroleum is
in Venezuela.
And then all of a sudden, Maduro says,
yeah, we're going to take that piece there.
And Trump's like, no, that's our oil, we've
got the deal.
Remember, it's called Southern Spear.
And now the US is apparently looking to
set up a military base there.
This is the Guyana guy.
We denounce that the government of the United
States of America intends to military.
I'm sorry, this is still Venezuela guy.
Rise this situation.
The US Southern Command wants to create a
military base in the disputed territory in order
to create a spearhead in its aggression against
Venezuela and consolidate the plundering of our energy
resources.
So that's what it's about.
That's why we're going to build a base
there.
No, you're not going to take the oil.
We've got the deal.
You're not going to take this country all
of a sudden, this Esquibo.
That's what the military operation is about.
Yeah, the oil field is the Starbrook block.
It's a big one.
It's a big one.
And we did the discovery.
Yeah, we did.
And it's Exxon Mobil that did it.
Yeah.
And BP.
This is classic.
It used to be a Dutch Anglo thing.
This is so classic.
No, you're not going to have that.
We'll sell it to you.
But you can't just take it.
Yeah, so we can make their lives miserable
by blowing up these ships.
Yeah, well, well, there's, there's.
Can't get enough of the cocaine.
Can't get into Europe.
What are you going to do?
Cocaine can't teach you a lesson.
America, baby, America.
I was just blown away.
Like, I have to get this from RT.
Where's our media?
Uh, Khashoggi.
I had to get this from RT.
Epstein.
I had to get it from RT.
Yeah.
Well, there's actually a cocaine story if you're
done with that.
Yeah, I am.
Which also didn't show up very much.
You find it here and there online.
About this guy, Ryan Wedding.
Who's this?
Yeah, see, I never heard this.
This is a major story.
The Justice Department has announced new charges against
former Olympian Ryan James Wedding, who is accused
of running a massive transnational drug network.
The former snowboarder is now one of the
FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives.
NTD's Christina Corona tells us more.
The Department of Justice announced Wednesday that new
charges have been ensued against Ryan Wedding, a
former Canadian snowboarder and Olympic athlete, now accused
of running a massive drug trafficking empire.
Authorities are offering a $15 million reward for
his capture.
He controls one of the most prolific and
violent drug trafficking organizations in this world.
He is currently the largest distributor of cocaine
in Canada.
Authorities say Wedding's group imports roughly 60 metric
tons of cocaine a year into Los Angeles,
using semi trucks from Mexico, moving over a
billion dollars worth of narcotics across the Americas.
So far, 35 people have been indicted and
authorities have seized over 4,000 pounds of
drugs, weapons, 3.2 million in cryptocurrency and
$13 million in assets.
FBI Director Kash Patel compared Wedding to some
of the world's most notorious drug lords.
Ryan Wedding is a modern day iteration of
Pablo Escobar.
He's a modern day iteration of El Chapo
Guzman.
He is responsible for engineering a narco-trafficking
and narco-terrorism program that we have not
seen in a long time.
Puts a whole new take on snowboarding.
I know.
You know, if you're the assignment editor on
a newspaper or these networks, this would be
a top story because it's so interesting.
And the snowboard pun is absolutely part of
it.
Where did you get these clips from?
NTD.
Ah, of course.
Sounded a bit like Dana from that lawyer
who used to be on Fox.
What's her name?
Guess it's not.
Perino?
No, no, no, no.
I think, you know, with the dark hair.
I don't know a Dana the other day.
Well, anyway, play part two of this and
we'll.
And we'll wrap it up.
We'll wrap it up.
Wedding and 14 defendants, including a Canadian lawyer,
are charged with orchestrating the January 2025 murder
of a witness who was shot at a
restaurant in Colombia.
Wedding now faces additional counts, including witness tampering
and intimidation, murder, money laundering and drug trafficking.
Ryan Wedding is extremely dangerous.
He's extremely violent and he's extremely wealthy.
He's being protected by the Sinaloa cartel, along
with others in the country of Mexico.
We will find him and we will bring
him to justice.
Law enforcement across the US, Canada and Mexico
continue efforts to locate Wedding, who remains among
the FBI's top 10 most wanted fugitives.
Christina Corona, NTD News.
Wow, that is a good story.
Why wouldn't they report on that?
Other than that, it's British.
What takes away from the Canada?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Epstein.
Yes.
Well, with that, I want to thank you
for your courage.
Say hello to you.
The man who put the sea in the
cocaine empire.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end.
The one, the only Mr. John C.
Hey, good morning to you, Mr. Adam Cranmer.
Ships and sea boats and the graphene in
the air.
Subs in the water and all the names
and nights out there.
Good morning to the trolls in the troll
room.
Let me tell you, I don't have a
peak.
Something's broken.
We have about 1300 now, but it was
more a lot more earlier.
They'll Mr. Ryan Wedding story.
They did.
And and they're going to miss a great
donation story as we're going to thank our
supporters here at the best podcast in the
universe who support us.
With time, talent and treasure.
Big news out of Japan.
Did you see the email this morning?
Yes, I did.
We got a I put it in the
show notes.
There was a half hour profile done on
NHK's Japano files.
Japano files of two of our top producers.
In fact, they are the Grand Duchess and
Duke.
Of Japan and all the disputed islands in
the Japan Sea.
Dame Astrid and Sir Mark.
Did you watch the video?
No, I haven't had time for it.
I just got this morning.
I'll just play the intro.
It's really cool.
A distinctive facade inspired by traditional Japanese open
work carving.
It's a landmark located on one of Tokyo's
most iconic shopping streets.
This is a bookstore lounge that masterfully fuses
international design sensibilities with the essence of traditional
Japanese culture.
These designs are the work of Astrid Klein
from Italy and Mark Dytham from the United
Kingdom.
They met at the Royal College of Art
in London and came to Japan in 1988.
Since then, they've designed not only buildings, but
also interiors and furniture.
Creating spaces that foster communication and creativity for
those who spend time there.
In this episode, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham
share insights from their decades of work in
Japan.
It's a little better with the video.
You can see the buildings.
Man, they have done some of the most
iconic buildings in...
Oops.
No, they're dynamite.
...in Japan.
They are.
They are dynamite.
So those of you who support us, you
are amongst good company.
Go take a look at that episode and
be like, wow, wow.
You want to go visit Tokyo right away.
Go hang out with them.
And they welcome all No Agenda producers to
their homes.
I'm reliably informed.
This is a fact.
I want to get this out of the
way.
It's a note that came in about the
donations.
I'm writing...
This is from Leora Coronel.
And she says, I'm writing that she got
the executive producer credit for the last show,
but she mentions this problem that happened.
I have an explanation.
I'm writing to request a correction of the
mistake John made.
Hard to believe, but true.
During the donation portion of the show, the
fantastic vintage biological warfare department letterhead that was
gifted to John at the meetup this past
Saturday, along with $300 donation, was credited to
someone named John Lake in Santa Cruz.
Stolen valor.
However, it was actually from my smoke and
hot husband, Gus Coronel, from Nevada City, California.
I don't really have any clue how I
got that mixed up.
Although it was sitting at the table inside
before we moved outside, and there was the
handover of the beef and the letterhead, and
then it was in an envelope, and people
stuffed other stuff in the envelope.
Is this the envelope for the donations?
They shoved it in there.
I got it mixed up that way.
Wait a minute.
So I can go back and change the
credits.
Oh, it was a $100 donation.
So it wasn't actually on the credits.
No, no, it was a $300 donation.
She corrected that.
And you know what?
There's nothing to change.
She got her credit.
She's on the list.
It was a switcheroo, right?
No, she got it.
She got the switcheroo.
She did.
Yep, she did.
Gus has had this letterhead since I met
him over 25 years ago, and he's been
saving it for a special occasion ever since.
So we have to definitely give Gus credit
for saving it for the No Agenda show.
Last week, he finally decided that this special
occasion would be meeting John in person, which
he did.
After the meetup, he was so excited that
he got to give this awesome gift to
John.
And this is a killer.
I'm sure you can understand our disappointment when
someone else was giving the credit.
I feel bad about it.
It's horrible.
Yeah.
I'd like to make sure that Gus gets
the credit he deserves.
Yes, I remember Gus the whole thing.
I have no idea how this got mixed
up in the...
There was a pile of stuff.
It's a pile of...
But Gus gets the credit.
Now, thank you for your courage.
Thank you for your attention.
This is Matt, your loyal listener and future
dame.
Leora.
Yes, that letterhead, which is just a dynamite
piece of memorabilia, is in the permanent collection.
I got an emergency note from one of
our knights, Sir Scott the Jew from North
Idaho.
Speaking of our wonderful producer, Poole, we have
award-winning, world-renowned architects and many more.
He says a close friend of mine has
an emergency situation with his hand.
He is a master mechanic, so he, of
course, relies on his hands.
He has been struggling for months with massive
swelling and debilitating pain.
And despite seeing multiple doctors, no one has
been able to diagnose the problem.
Are there any hand surgeons or specialists in
Gitmo Nation who could help?
He can travel if needed.
Email s at sja.com.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
You know what?
It wouldn't surprise me if we have a
hand specialist out there.
I wouldn't be surprised in the least.
No.
I hope there is, so this guy can
get back on track.
Yes, indeed.
All right.
He needs that aggravation.
Thank you.
Really.
Thank you to all of our trolls in
the troll room who are listening, noagendastream.com,
and of course, using the modern podcast apps,
podcastapps.com.
Value for value.
It comes in many different forms.
Um, we talk a lot about it.
We talked a lot about on this show.
Some of it is AI.
And boy, did we get an AI piece
of artwork for episode 1817, which we titled
stunt grenade.
Not stun, but stunt grenade.
And of course, that came through noagendaartgenerator.com,
which anybody can use.
And by the way, I've seen the designs
for our Rubalizer challenge coin.
It looks really nice.
That comes from Paul Couture, right?
Yes.
And there, uh, I'll probably, I'll put him
in the next newsletter.
You can take a look at him.
That will be obviously a very limited supply
for Rubalizer.
We won't have to make too many.
That's for sure.
No, we won't.
So thank you, Blue Acorn, for doing a
great piece of art.
There's a bunch of robots sitting in the
class, looking at the blackboard.
AI class.
And one, it says on the blackboard, listen,
two, agree, three, kill self.
And I guess we found that humorous.
It's not as funny today.
For some reason, it doesn't feel as funny
today looking at it.
Um, but man, it's so hard when people
are just tapping away.
There's so much art and none of it's
good.
Almost none of it.
In hindsight, did some of those pirate flags
come in?
They came in later.
I think they came in.
There was a bunch of pirate flags.
I wonder why we didn't use one of
those.
We might've been better.
I used the straw hat skull flag, which
was not anything like the one that's going
around.
As a, uh, for the, for the newsletter.
But the reason was, I think is because
these weren't the, this was, this was an
actual sombrero, uh, pirate flag when it's not
a sombrero, it's a straw hat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, there is one also from Blue Acorn,
which I don't recall seeing, but, you know,
people just think that, you know, you still
got to have talent to come up with
something funny and you got to reprompt and
prompt again and prompts are more.
And why is this interesting?
Is this coach Joe has been submitting these
crazy cartoons.
I don't know what system he's using to
get these things.
Yeah.
But they're all, they're interesting.
They're not usable because everything's too small.
You can't read anything.
Yeah.
But it's, uh, he's definitely using a model
that is not used by others.
Nobody else is using whatever he's using.
That's all I can say.
Well, prompt, prompt.
Well, prompt better be a good prompter or
create something by hand.
There's still people who do that from time
to time and they do win quite often,
I would say, because there's really nothing above,
you know, some real human skills because this
is, this is the literal definition of slop.
Most of it, no agenda, art generator.com.
Go ahead.
These two guys, they, somebody took our pictures
and swapped out the faces with some other
people.
Again, we're not going to do, we're not
going to use, we're not going to use
it, but that's, who's that person that's, that's
playing you and who's the guys.
I don't know.
The goofball is that's my face.
I think you're Schumer.
You look like Schumer.
You look a little like Schumer.
Who do I look like?
Like some bad soap opera, soap opera actor.
You look like some, I don't know what
you, who that's supposed to be.
I think it's supposed to be someone.
I don't know who it is.
I don't know who that is.
No, no idea.
Anyway, no agenda, art generator.com.
That wasn't going to get picked no matter
what.
No, no agenda, art generator.com.
And believe me, there's still plenty of chances
for you to win.
Just looking at what's come in so far.
And now we want to thank our, we
thank everybody, $50 and above.
We want to thank our executive and associate
executive producers.
You receive this credit when you are in
the opportunity to donate $200 or more.
We will not only give you the title
of associate executive producer, which is a real
Hollywood credit, can be used anywhere where Hollywood
credits are recognized, including imdb.com, which is
kind of cool.
You know, if you're, if you're out there
throning or shreking, you can say, Hey, you
know, I'm a, I'm a producer, associate executive
producer.
Oh really?
Oh really?
Prove it.
Oh, go to imdb, look me up, look
me up on imdb.com.
Oh wow.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, $300 or more.
We'll get you an executive producership and same
applies.
We will read your note.
And we start off today with a switcheroo
from Baroness Lady Bird in Provencal, Louisiana.
And she says, please deduce.
You've been deduced.
And give the executive producer credit to Sean
Wester, Colonel, United States Marine Corps, retired.
Another Colonel.
Happy birthday, my love.
Semper Fi, Baroness Lady Bird, Eagle of Toledo
Bend.
That's beautiful.
Semper Fi, always faithful.
That's right.
Beautiful switcheroo has been implemented.
Thank you.
Josh Sheepdog Buford in Midlothian, Virginia, 333.33.
In the morning, Adam.
Hey.
Listening from Virginia since 2020 as a men's
alliance member.
Hmm.
Are you a part of this?
I'm not.
I'm not a member.
I'm not familiar with the men's alliance.
I'm traveling right now on a bus to
Lake Bridgeport in Texas, where 112 men are
finishing training to share the gospel, to answer
life's hard questions, the truth, and to earn
their men's alliance patch.
Oh, I need one.
Well, just yeah.
I left a restaurant a couple of years
ago to help train and equip Barbarian Ambassadors
for Christ.
Christ.
Barbarian Ambassadors for Christ.
Nearly 400 men's alliance tribes across the country
meet weekly for an outdoor workout and devotion
around a fire while disciplining each…
It sounds like disciplining each other.
And building our base of brothers.
More are starting every week.
I get fired up every time I hear
you give an answer for the hope that
you have.
Thank you for using your voice for His
Kingdom, capital K.
Maybe I can talk you into visiting Lost
Pines Tribe in Bastrop, which I don't think
is anywhere near you, one Saturday morning.
All men can find a tribe near you
or start a tribe by visiting mensalliancetribe.com.
mensalliancetribe.com.
1 Peter 315, Josh Sheepdog Buford.
Well.
Something else for you to do.
Next time I go visit…
More work.
Next time I go visit my buddy in
the slammer, which is in Bastrop, then I
might drop by.
It's always on a Saturday.
So I just might.
Bastrop has a prison?
Yes.
A federal penitentiary.
Yes.
Thank you for the invitation, Josh.
Sir Nate the Rogue, Central Point, Oregon, 333.
He says he belonged to intelligence.
Referring to Epstein, no doubt.
Sir Nate the Rogue.
P.S. Go podcasting.
Emoji.
All right.
Thank you.
Emoji.
Is there a go podcasting emoji or are
you just saying emoji?
Just like a Tourette's thing.
Emoji.
Emoji.
Emoji.
Chris in Bergheim, Norway.
I'm guessing.
333.
We have a lot of Norwegians that listen
to this show.
In memory of my brother, Vance Knudsen, his
trip on the roller coaster called Life ended
November 14th, age 50.
Oh, that sucks.
To any No Agenda producers, please pick up
that phone and call a friend or relative
you keep thinking about calling, but never do.
Maybe you can make a difference.
Chris, the Medvening-Hilson.
Medvening-Hilson.
That's best regards.
With many happy regards.
Executive producer of No Agenda.
Sorry about that, Chris.
Coming in from Las Vegas, Nevada with a
long note.
Moose21165, also known as Normatic Steven Moose.
And he says, hey, John.
Hey, John.
Just wanted to follow up on the note
I wrote last time, because I didn't want
to write something about the meetup and be
a douchebag and not donate.
It was my first time donating over $200.
I wasn't sure how to attach the notes
to the donation.
Yes, I'm passing through town.
I was thrilled to attend my second meetup
ever and hang out with fellow producers regarding
the meetup.
The comments about John.
They were meant to be taken in jest.
Oh, this is that you were...
You were...
Off-putting.
Off-putting.
And I was sick.
And I left.
Also, I didn't...
I didn't stand around for photos.
By the way, the funny thing is most
of the time I do get some photos.
They're just the way it was the timing.
The place was packed.
It was more than the usual number.
I mean, we have at least 40 and
normally it's about 30 and it actually makes
a huge difference.
This is a lesson in nuance and writing.
You know, things can be taken out of
context.
He says, also, I didn't realize, my bad,
that the person you were talking to wasn't
your son.
Everyone I talked to at the meetup told
me that.
So, told me it was.
So, I assumed it was the case as
well.
He's got uppercase A-S-S.
I genuinely appreciate all the things you and
Adam do for the show.
It was great hanging out with the other
producers.
I made a promise to a listener named
Ken Sparklebuckets and his wife Jill to give
them a shout out for some jobs karma
for Ken.
Also wanted to thank them for the beer.
I'm really looking forward to attending Burning Man
with them next year.
Oh, brother.
That's the kicker in that note.
Burning Man.
He's a burner.
Or a future burner.
I want to wish a happy retirement to
Sir Christopher Carmel and Dame Kristen.
Safe travels this week.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to
my best friend, Sir John of Jupiter, who
introduced me to the show several years ago.
He's an amazing person, a great husband, and
a loving father to his three daughters.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with his family
during my summer stay in Salt Lake City.
Although Sir Sean of the Northern Everglades gave
him a good punch in the mouth, guess
you can blame him for introducing us to
the show.
Please continue to do great work, as well
as the show has a significant impact on
many of our listeners' lives.
And John, next time we're at a meetup,
we're definitely getting a photo together.
Thank you, says nomadic Steven Moose.
And here is the jobs karma requested.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Here we go with Eli the Coffee Guy,
$211.20. A huge thank you for everyone
who jumped on the early release of our
gigawatt canned cold brew.
I'm drinking it right now.
I love it.
Really appreciate the support and the kind words
so many of you leave in the notes
when ordering.
It's humbling to know how many producers love
our coffee.
You know, their coffee grinds.
I don't use their coffee exclusively because I
like to have contrast once in a while.
Everybody needs contrast.
Their coffee requires a coarse grind because it
really, I don't know what it is, but
it's interesting how every, you know, if you've
got a Breville, you know, you get this,
you get this fine, you can fine tune.
You have to, with a real Breville, you
have to have it so the coffee starts
coming out and the eight second mark.
And so you have to keep adjusting the
grind.
So this occurs.
And their coffee really requires a very interesting
grind compared to almost everybody else's.
Wow.
That's good info.
Well, it's useless.
Sorry.
We really appreciate your support.
The kind words of so many.
That's okay.
I picked up the sarcasm.
The kind words many of you leave in
the notes.
It's humbling to know how many producers love
a coffee.
That's the idea.
And what it's, by the way, still better
than the contrasting coffees I try.
Especially some of their blends.
Every once in a while, he hits something
out of the park.
Also, a happy birthday to my amazing wife,
Jen, the other half of Gigawatt.
She did the design for the cans.
She's obviously doing it.
We love Jen's cans.
Thank you.
Your website, gigawattcoffeeroasters.com to see how they
are, her handiwork.
Visit the website.
For anyone who missed out, don't worry.
Official launch drops on Black Friday.
Until then, stay caffeinated, Eli the Coffee Guy.
Yeah.
Now, I love the Gigawatt can cold brew.
I really do.
Especially you shake it hard to release the
nitro.
Alejandro Alocer, $2.10 and 60 cents.
He says, thanks.
You're welcome.
Great work, guys.
Adam, please go to the Fallen State with
Jesse Lee Peterson.
That would be amazing.
No agenda and Jesse are the oh, please
go on the Fallen State.
Okay.
If he emails me, we can see if
we can work it out.
What is the Fallen State?
It's a podcast, I guess.
No agenda and Jesse are the only shows
worth my time and money.
Hilarious and profound.
Many more public service years, please.
I'm not familiar with the Fallen State.
I'll take a look while you read the
next note, which apparently you have.
No, the next one is from Linda and
Scott Johnson.
Oh, yeah, this one.
This is they actually donated last time.
This is the people in Kissimmee, Kissimmee, Kissimmee,
wherever we pronounce it.
Kissimmee is correct.
There's another donation of $2.04.77. Just
a check that came in that said photo
export because they had this photo export product.
They plugged profusely in the last show.
And here's another check from them with no
note.
No.
Wow, this this Jesse guy does like a
show every single day.
A hard worker.
Yeah, it seems to be a lot of
interesting.
He's got he's got a lot of AI
images on his YouTube.
Okay.
All right, we go to there.
She is Linda Lou Patkin, Lakewood, Colorado.
And she wants jobs, karma and says, as
always, for competitive edge with a resume that
gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all
of your executive resume and job search needs.
That's all of them.
And that's ImageMakersInc with a K.
And you get to work with Linda Lou,
Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
Then we come to Sir Switcheroo, the Black
Baron of the I-4 Corridor.
He came in with 200 bucks and he
did send in a note, which I have.
And you should queue up the the foamer
clip.
Foamer.
Got it.
The request will be more obvious.
This is Switcheroo.
It's another thing you got to do.
Yeah.
This is Associate Executive Producer Ship.
This is the second time this has happened
to Vladimir Putin.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Let's switch my knight name from Surfer to
Sir Switcheroo.
I haven't been surfing.
Oh, it used to be Surfer.
Get it?
I haven't been surfing much lately because I'm
getting too old.
I'm 65.
Furthermore, I've donated more Switcheroo's than my own
producer credits.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Jingles.
Foamer followed by a Tucker laugh if Adam
would be so kind and karma for all
producers.
Thank you for your courage.
Love is lit.
Come give it a give it a shot.
Oh, my God.
Listen to that horn.
Pretty good.
You've got karma.
It's hard to do it on command.
It's always hard to do stuff like that
on command.
But you brought it.
You have the skill.
I brought it.
I brought it.
You did it.
You did.
It was killer.
Thank you to these Executive and Associate Executive
Producers who went to noagendadonations.com to keep
us going for another four more years.
We'll be thanking the rest of our supporters,
$50 and above.
It's time, talent, and treasure.
Yes, you can hit someone in the mouth.
Yes, you can set up a meetup.
Yes, you can send us some artwork.
Yes, you can send us jingles.
End of show mixes.
All of it is appreciated, especially the financials,
because even we have bills to pay.
Thank you again.
Congratulations.
Go to noagendadonations.com.
Our formula is this.
We go out.
We hit people in the mouth.
I tried it again.
Tried it again, everybody.
It's raining here.
It's cats and dogs.
Raining cats and dogs here.
It rained here last night, cats and dogs.
Yeah.
I want to play a little warning clip
here.
A warning clip?
Yeah, oysters and scallops in Japan clip.
This is only part of a long presentation
that was on NHK.
And they have had an oyster kill off
and the scallop kill off.
And they can't produce enough.
And those prices are going to skyrocket.
I don't know if it's going to affect
it.
It doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else.
But the Japanese are going to pay too
much, which means that they're going to import
stuff, which means the prices are going to
go up.
So people should be out there aware of
the fact that oysters and scallops may cost
more.
There could be multiple factors behind the dead
oysters.
In addition to global warming, there has been
little rain, which means the water salt level
is higher.
This could have impacted their health.
Fish that feel hot in Japan will move
north to somewhere the water temperature feels appropriate.
But oysters are fixed in one place.
The situation with the scallops has continued for
several years and for oysters too.
Before, I heard about damage in certain areas.
But this time it's broader, covering the three
prefectures of Hyogo, Hiroshima and Okayama.
It really is unprecedented.
He also says there won't be an easy
fix and shellfish hungry consumers may have to
fork out much more than they're used to.
Well, how come they didn't say it's due
to climate change?
They did at the beginning.
Ah, it was due to climate change.
Well, they said it might be.
They're not so, you know, they're not cock
sure about it.
But I have I have some food related
clips, which is yes, it's from the BBC.
So take it with, you know, with your
grain of salt.
But a new like surprise, surprise.
They released a new peer reviewed.
What's the what's the big the big place
where you release all of your studies?
Your, you know, your medical stuff.
What kinds of places?
Yeah, well, one of the big ones.
Processed food is not good for you.
Well, I know a giant conspiracy to promote
addiction, spread chronic disease and cause us to
lead shorter, sicker lives.
That's what ultra processed foods are, essentially, according
to a global study published in the Lancet
Medical Journal, which argues that so-called UPS
are linked to illnesses such as cancer and
diabetes.
Chris Van Tulleken is professor of infection and
global health at University College London.
He's one of the authors of the study,
and he's also the author of the influential
book Ultra Processed People.
Ultra processed food is a formal scientific definition.
It's also known as Novigroup 4.
And it broadly describes the category of packaged
goods made by transnational food corporations.
And to understand how they're made and why
they're so full of additives, you've got to
sort of imagine that you're running a food
company.
So if you're running a food company and
I'm running a food company, we've only got
two ways of making money.
We can drop the price of ingredients.
So we start using additives, flavors rather than
strawberries, emulsifiers rather than eggs.
And we can also engineer our food so
that it's very hard to stop eating.
And people buy lots and lots of it.
We can dominate food environments.
We can suppress real and whole food.
And so that's the project of transnational food
companies.
I say that without agenda.
That's sort of what we pay them to
do in a way.
Well, now, this is riveting.
And it's amazing how...
Yeah, riveting.
Would you rather do your TikTok clips?
I'm fine with that.
I want to hear the rest of this.
Of course, we're both in total agreement with
what he's saying.
Well, of course.
Well, what I like is that he's saying
it's part of the whole system.
It's like we process the food, you get
sick, you stay sick.
We keep you going with pharmaceuticals.
Yes, you want ultra-processed people.
And you're a co-author of this paper
in The Lancet.
Just tell us what its findings are.
This is a series of three papers published
in The Lancet today being launched at the
Royal College of Physicians in London.
I'm sorry, it's not The Lancet.
It's The Lancet.
It's The Lancet.
Get it straight.
Lancet.
The authorship is primarily from the global south,
from Latin America and Brazil and from sub
-Saharan Africa.
There are authors also from all around the
world.
There are 43 of us.
The paper is broken up into three sections.
First of all, we look at the scientific
evidence linking ultra-processed food to health harms.
And we've done a formal meta-analysis of
more than 100 of the kind of studies
that links tobacco to lung cancer.
And we've looked at lots of experimental evidence,
both animal evidence, human evidence, laboratory evidence alongside
this population data.
So we're very clear now that we have
reached the threshold where we can say a
dietary pattern high in ultra-processed food causes
negative health outcomes.
And there's a wide range of these.
Obesity, weight gain, metabolic disease, cardiovascular disease,
cerebrovascular disease, stroke, gastrointestinal disease, depression and early
death from all causes.
And we know from other published work that
poor diet has overtaken, or is at least
on parity with tobacco now as the leading
cause of early death on planet Earth.
So it's as bad as smoking.
I wonder, you know, when I hear these
stories, I always wonder if they include mortadella.
Mortadella?
As ultra-processed.
What is mortadella?
Mortadella is what bologna should be.
Oh.
It's Italian.
It is, they're big slices of, it's a
lunch meat that the Italians sell.
It's absolutely delicious.
Mortadella is what you get instead of bologna.
And is it processed?
Well, yeah, I mean, it's, you know, if
it's just a smooth, yeah, it has, it's
the process, like it's similar grind and processing
that you might get from a hot dog,
which is another thing I wonder about.
Is a hot dog, which contains a lot
of offal, O-F-F-A-L, which
is the various pieces of gut and cartilage
and who knows what, ground into a fine
paste and then turned into a sausage.
Is that, it seems to me a hot
dog should be healthy because it contains all
kinds of things you wouldn't normally eat.
You know, the ones at Costco, those are
the most healthy.
And you get a drink and a hot
dog for a buck 25.
Buck 50.
Did they raise the price?
We thought it was always been a buck
50.
Your price is wrong.
Well, maybe it's cheaper in Texas.
Next time you go check.
I will.
So surprisingly, this is, he's really going to
talk about the poor people in the South,
in the Southern hemisphere.
And this has long been a problem in
the West, but it's a growing problem in
places like Africa and Latin America.
And there's no benefit for people there because
these are big multinational companies that are making
the profits.
Whereas people in places like Africa and Latin
America are suffering all these health consequences you
talk about.
The companies that do this sort of processing,
there aren't a long list of them.
They're the brands, you know, they make your
breakfast cereals, your favorite cola drink, your ready
meals, your candy and chocolate.
Ready meals.
They are primarily, most of the shareholders of
those companies are institutional investors based in the
global North.
So that's broadly true.
And so any benefit accrues into high income
settings that already have high income settings.
And we also have healthcare infrastructure to deal
with the appalling externalized cost of the diet
that the food industry essentially forces people with
low incomes to eat.
And so when we look at that in
a low or middle income context, it is
completely unaffordable.
And I think that's why such strong advocacy
has come from particularly South and Central America,
where in a single generation, obesity went from
being essentially unheard of to being the dominant
public health problem.
We should give them some Ozempic, send some
Ozempic to Africa.
That'll fix it.
This is annoying in the regards that they
say, just because something's fast food and it
looks like it sells relatively cheap, it's not
cheaper than you making the same product yourself.
Thank you.
Or buying hamburger meat, for example.
Yes.
One of my favorite treats from Taco Bell,
which comes and goes, they used to be
on the menu permanently, but now it's not
anymore, is the tostada, the bean tostada.
That is a flat piece of a hard
cornmeal tortilla, hard cooked, and then spread with
a layer of refried beans, some shredded cheese,
very little shredded cheese, some lettuce, maybe some
tomatoes, little pieces which are inconsequential.
And that's, and with a sauce, there's a
sauce involved.
You can make, you can copy that and
I've done it.
The exact same thing.
Now those things used to cost a minimum
of 99 cents, but then they went up
to a buck 50 and I don't know
what they, they don't even have them half
the time anymore.
You can make the same exact thing for
about 25 to 30 cents.
Thank you.
Using the same exact ingredients, only better.
I would say, because we have a lot
of people who are struggling, who listen to
the show.
Seriously, go to beefmaps.com.
Find, there's ranches all across America, but of
course you can find them everywhere in the
world.
And get ground beef from them.
Get as much as you can afford.
You will be surprised what wonderful meals you
can make with ground beef.
I mean, you get some cheap spaghetti sauce,
you can make it yourself.
You can make meatloaf, you can make hamburgers.
You know, use your imagination.
Use the internet, use AI.
And you will, I mean, we literally buy
all of our beef in one go from
K&C Cattle.
The two of us, it takes us like
three months.
And the amount of money that we spend
in three months for the two of us
would be going out to dinner in Fredericksburg
three times.
That's how long you can stretch buying beef
directly from a rancher.
And it's much healthier.
Man, it's really raining here.
It's like storming.
Yes, it's a healthier, even if it's not,
like the copy of a tostada, which, you
know, how healthy are refried beans?
I'm not sure.
But whatever the case is, it's this idea
that poor people have to eat from these
fast food operations.
I mean, we're dealing with a big Mac,
it could cost a fortune.
Yeah, you don't have to, by the way.
And you don't have to.
You're not being forced.
If you have the wherewithal, you need a
frying pan and maybe a stove.
Yeah.
But okay.
Digital ID, closer and closer every day.
We're moving in, we're getting, we're teeing things
up.
Here's the latest.
The massive online gaming platform Roblox, which is
used by millions of children under the age
of 13, announced today it'll soon require every
player to scan their face and use AI
-powered facial technology to estimate their age.
We tested it out at Roblox headquarters earlier
this year.
Dozens of families, along with the Kentucky and
Louisiana attorneys general, have sued Roblox and chat
platform Discord for allegedly failing to protect children
from sexual predators on their platforms.
Roblox CEO David Bozuki spoke today with Tony
DiCoppo on CBS mornings.
Her parents were like, geez, now I'm supposed
to send a picture of my kid in?
That sounds crazy to me.
What do you say?
I want to highlight this isn't a selfie
or this isn't capturing a picture that could
ever be shared or exposed, but we're really
not storing these images.
They're deleted soon after we process them.
Roblox says it has revamped its online safety
center as well and says the new age
check requirement will roll out first in Australia,
New Zealand and the Netherlands, then expanding to
more countries in early January.
Meanwhile, Discord says it does not comment on
pending litigation and says it's deeply committed to
safety.
Yeah, Discord is not going to do any
of that.
We can't let the spooks in that way.
Discord is not going to be a part
of that.
Oh, that's no good.
And of course, we have the real ID
here in the United States, which is nothing
more than your driver's license with a little
star stamp on it.
But, you know, that'll be digital soon enough.
And we're just amping it up to make
sure everybody gets one.
The TSA is now proposing a new rule
to charge passengers who don't have a real
ID or a passport.
Those passengers would pay $18 and have their
identity verified at special kiosks.
The verification would be good for 10 days.
It's not clear when the new rule would
go into effect.
Man, none of this is good.
None of this is good.
It's heading, it's heading that way.
Well, let's don't let it.
Okay.
Complaining on a podcast usually helps.
That's the way to go.
It stops legislation in its tracks.
It stops legislation in its tracks.
The question these days, though, should we even
call it a podcast anymore?
Okay, here we go.
This is the question.
Yes, you are familiar with Bill Simmons?
No.
Bill Simmons used to be on ESPN.
He was a big guy.
Oh, the big, oh, Bill, that Bill Simmons.
Bill Simmons, yeah.
The big ESPN Bill Simmons guy.
So he started The Ringer.
Very, very well-known podcast network, which he
sold to Spotify.
Did quite well for himself.
And now it's up in the air now.
Should we call this a podcast?
Brian asks, at what point do we retire
the term podcast?
Nobody uses an iPad.
And with the pivot to video and streaming,
these are very clearly talk shows.
I love how he doesn't correct.
Wait, stop, stop, stop.
Yeah, no, he doesn't.
Love how he doesn't correct iPad to iPod.
Yeah, he said iPad.
Yeah, so.
It's a padcast.
Not necessarily.
I think we're stuck with the term.
I just think we're going to morph into
saying video podcast or podcast, depending on if
it's a video show or not.
But if you look at the definition of
podcast, which I looked up, a podcast is
a program made available in digital format for
download over the internet.
No, it is in an RSS feed, not
just for download over the internet, you dope.
Yeah, we used to have download over the
internet back in the early 90s, all throughout
the 90s.
And the podcast technically was invented in around
2005.
Before.
By you.
Well, technically, the technical aspect 2000.
But throughout the 90s, you could download audio.
Yeah.
So this is not true, Bill Simmons.
Over the internet.
So why would we change that?
Maybe it'll change and just become shows.
Maybe though, maybe because we stopped making TV
shows, maybe podcasts become shows and we just
call everything show.
That's the only thing I could see it.
Now, how about we call it?
You mean like the no agenda show?
I think we should call it a netcast.
Netcast, netcast.
I like padcast, though.
I'm down.
Padcast I'm going for.
I'm down for padcast.
We'll put that as a show title.
People will think we had a typo.
Oh man, you typoed podcast.
You put padcast.
It's true, that's exactly what they'd say in
that voice.
All right.
Hey, I'll let you have the last clip
here.
You've got one of your many TikToks to
choose from.
Yeah, and these aren't going away, by the
way.
No, I'm sure they're not.
One of these days.
Yeah.
Now, I can have the stupid Apple Pay
girl.
Oh, I'm interested in her.
Is she really stupid?
I think this is, you know, I'd like
the Trump resigning one because this is going
around too.
Well, let's do both.
But I'm going to go with the TikTok
Apple Pay girl.
And now I even sent a note to
Brunetti, never got an answer back.
Of course not.
Is this girl acting?
I don't think so.
I think she's dead sincere because her tears
are real.
She's like her nose is red and she's
miserable.
And this is why.
If you use Apple Pay, honestly, just be
so careful.
This is a little embarrassing to admit.
But if this could help one person, then
I'm really willing to share what my experience
was.
I'm just going to lay it out like
this.
When you use Apple Pay, that's real money.
That's true American dollars from your credit card.
If you have your credit card connected, that's
where the money is being sourced from.
It's not like a special form of Apple
Pay, Apple dollars.
Why they don't just say this is real
money while you're paying?
I don't know.
Because I thought that I had accumulated a
bunch of Apple dollars to use for Apple
Pay by, you know, spending so much time
on my phone, giving my data very freely
and willingly to any place that asks like
whatever they say.
Are cookies OK?
I say, yes, yes, yes.
Because I thought that's how I was getting
prize.
Getting awards, getting Apple dollars.
So I didn't think that was real money
till I checked my credit card bill.
I I've been spending money like I'm a
freaking millionaire.
I got hair moves.
I'm straight hair.
My hair doesn't even hold loose.
I call Apple to straighten things out.
I look at that.
Please speak with Mr. Steve Jobs.
They go, he's no longer with us.
Well, that is really possible.
I can I can totally see where someone
thought that by giving you their your information
and all your passwords that you were getting
Apple rewards.
Apple Pay.
Congratulations.
I'm in total agreement with you.
I think people could because the lot because
of all the freebies you get from playing
the games or we'll go here and read
this ad and you'll get some credits.
Yeah.
All these, you know, bogus credits for this,
that and the other thing in Apple Pay.
Yeah.
Is that part of it?
Maybe.
Did she have a nose ring, blue hair?
No.
Does she have a Palestine free Palestine flag?
Nope.
None of the above.
Huh.
Well, it seemed like a normal, like 17
year old or 18 year old.
Let's do Trump resigning because it's just now
you mentioned it.
I just I really have to hear it.
Okay, here we go.
So Donald Trump is going on national television
tonight at 9 45 p.m. He's either
going to completely deny and try to distract
the American people from the clear emails and
damage of the Epstein files that are going
to come down on his head.
Or he's going to take a play out
of Nixon's handbook and he's going to resign
and he's going to have J.D. Vance
issue him a pardon to protect him from
any wrongdoings or criminal actions.
One way or the other, his time as
president is near.
He might even try to use an excuse
of his health.
I need to step down because my health
is failing and I'm not able to really
continue on as president.
One way or the other, the idea of
him resigning the presidency at 9 45 p
.m. tonight seems real considering if you look
at all of the damage and things that
are going on around him, the allegations, the
fact that we don't even have all of
the files out yet.
And the petition is making its way through
the House and the Senate.
What do you guys think?
Leave a comment.
Well, I think you're an idiot.
Can I leave that comment?
Yeah, I'm sure he got plenty of that
comment.
You don't have to leave that comment.
And this was from yesterday or was it
a couple of days ago?
Oh, you should get back on that guy's
channel.
You know, his TikTok channel.
I collect these clips for the show, for
the amusement.
This is my man on the street kind
of concept.
Oh, oh, is that what it is?
And that's what it is.
I don't want to interact any further than
just playing the clip and mocking it on
the show.
Yes.
Which, you know, I think somebody out there
appreciates, not everybody.
Well, a Griffin University study has validated a
long suspected reality.
SFVs, which is what you're looking at, short
form videos and Instagram reels are frying brains,
slashing attention spans and crippling cognitive endurance.
So you may want to be careful with
that.
I believe me, I'm I can deal with
I have I'm too old for this to
happen to me.
So we do have a few people to
thank for the effort to donate $50 and
above.
And I've been making this segment part of
my regime for the last 18 years.
But Adam is now doing it for the
next 18 years.
And he begins now.
Yes, we start with one, two, three, four,
five from Nathan Cochran, expert bass player for
the band Mercy Me from Franklin, Tennessee.
I would like to call out his other
bandmates.
I don't see them.
I haven't seen them on the list as
regularly as Nathan.
Nathan is the go to guy.
Nathan is the guy.
And he's the he's like the quietest guy.
You know, he's not like shoo shoo is
the lead guitar.
You know, it's a typical lead guitar.
You got Barry, you know, Barry's, you know,
rhythm guitar guy.
You know, but Nathan guy in the back,
the next drummer, like all introverted looking.
He's the guy.
Thank you, Nathan.
We got Frank's fab and machine.
If you're looking for a machine or a
fab, go to Howell, Michigan.
That's Frank's fab and machine.
You know, I might need a fabricator and
a machinist.
Yes.
He wants some jobs.
Karma get that to you at the end.
Steven Mann, Plymouth, Michigan, one oh five thirty
five.
James Shepard in Kihei, Hawaii.
Kihei, I think one hundred.
David in Calistoga, California.
One hundred dollars.
Drug girl, Cincinnati, Ohio.
One hundred dollars.
And she does say John's eating the beaver
comment had me spitting out my water.
Love your show.
Finally, drug girl.
Yeah, you got the drug girls.
I'm so happy for you.
And whatever it works.
Gerard's probably a beauty.
Yeah.
Gerard Kojak, parts unknown.
Boob donation.
Eight oh eight.
And Sir Kevin McLaughlin comes in with eight
oh eight.
No note from him, which is strange.
That was it.
He also came in super late.
Terry's forgotten to do it.
But he's the Archduke of Luna.
Lover of American lover.
He sure is.
Last day.
Dale Lawsdale.
That was the seventy five from Terry Wentz
in Langley, Washington.
Ross Johnson and Eugene Oregon.
Seventy three.
Seventy three.
Complaining.
I'm Scott Simon.
No agenda should move to Friday and Sunday.
Seems for the last Monday.
Seems for the last 12 months.
The show misses breaking news by only hours.
No, if we move it, it would be
the same thing.
Yeah, they're aware of the show and they
break the news during the show.
Yes, they're aware of the show.
They're aware of our calendar.
So it wouldn't change anything.
Russell Curry in St. Cloud, Florida.
Sixty nine.
Sixty nine is his brother's Mike, his brother
Mike's birthday today.
He's on the oh, I want to call
him out as a douchebag.
And he is on the list.
Brian P.
Bell in Asbury, New Jersey.
Asbury.
Sad puppy donation.
Thank you.
Then we have a long note here from
Chad Hewitt.
But Chad does become a knight today.
So let's see what he says before the
pandemic.
I don't think I ever listened to a
podcast when the world was locking down around
us.
My employer was threatening to fire me and
the government seemed ready to force vaccination.
We searched desperately for everywhere we could to
find the truth.
I thank God that there was still independent
voices out on the Internet.
And even though many seem to be getting
censored hard, this is when we found the
life saving communication from the high wire with
Dell BigTree Children's Health Defense with RFK Jr.,
the FLCC, now the Independent Medical Alliance, and
the No Agenda Show.
And I have not missed a show since.
Heard about the show when Adam was on
the Glenn Beck podcast.
On show 17, yeah, Glenn Beck donation.
And this is $66.40, by the way.
On the show 1734, there was a discussion
about how AI was saying cows lay eggs.
So I thought, that's funny.
Maybe I should try to have AI create
that picture.
It actually turned out pretty good.
So after some clumsy photo editing, I decided
to try to post it before the end
of the show.
I was frantically trying to create an account,
attempting multiple times to get the right size
and upload it.
With my daughter's help, it worked as the
closing songs were playing.
To my surprise, a few minutes later, it
was picked as the show's cover.
That was a blast.
It happens.
After a few more times of entering show
art, I got picked again for show 1739
with boxing soccer.
The following show, though, a real artist wrote
to Adam and exposed the truth that it
was just AI crap, slop, lame, infantile.
And he just types things into a prompt
and there it is.
It's true.
As an artist, I'm a no-talent ass
clown.
My daughter, who is an actual graphics designer,
also disapproves of my use of AI.
This note is all over the place.
Overall, I'm...
No kidding.
I'm still a drunk driver.
It is still thril...
It is...
Hold on a second.
I got...
I'm doing three things at the same time.
It is still thrilling to try and come
up with slop art in the short amount
of time between topics to get a laugh
during the next show.
Thanks for the fun.
Thank you both.
And God bless.
I would like to be noted, sir, blue
acorn or fulsome?
This is blue acorn.
And he wants...
Yeah, this is blue acorn.
Well, good old blue acorn.
That's interesting.
Yes, he wants dos coyote fajitas and red
trolley ale at the round table, which I
believe we have...
Man, that's like...
All this Mexican food reminds me of the
movie that I watched last night with Keanu
Reeves.
He has a new one out on Netflix.
Hold on a second.
What is it called?
It's a fun little movie.
It's called Good Fortune with Seth Rogen, Keanu
Reeves, and Aziz Ansari.
It's actually quite good.
It's wholesome for the whole family.
Well, kind of.
There's some language.
So you'll be at the round table.
I got you covered.

Well, I have a feeling I'm gonna miss
the, I'm not gonna make the ISO.
You've got three of them.
And did you hear, by the way, that
Eleven Labs is now licensing actors' voices?
No, but it makes sense.
Yeah, let me see.
I think I had a clip on it.
I can't seem to get it.
I mean, of course, I'm trying to hang
in there with a free account.
Well, listen to this.
Legendary actor Michael Caine has licensed his unmistakable
voice to New York-based AI company, Eleven
Labs.
All right, all right, all right.
Another Hollywood star has also signed a deal
with them.
A good man stands for certain ideals.
Matthew McConaughey is allowing the company to translate
his newsletter in Spanish using his voice.
Hola.
Feliz Viernes a todos.
The actor- Doesn't sound like him at
all.
Doesn't sound like him at all.
...Eleven Labs, which is valued at $6.6
billion.
$6.6 billion?
They should give you a free account.
You think?
You know, in the olden days, when I
was famous- Oh, yeah, yeah, back in
those days.
I would have gotten free accounts, no problem,
and, you know, and a blow job, all
combined.
But that doesn't happen anymore.
I used to get free entrance with a
gold card to the Hard Rock Cafe, but
no blow jobs.
$6 billion.
It has a catalog of voices from late
and famous figures, like Maya Angelou, John Wayne,
and Judy Garland.
At that moment, Dorothy saw lying on the
table- The licensing deals are stirring up
debate about the role of AI in entertainment.
Yeah, blah, blah, blah.
So I go to Eleven Labs.
Unlike you, I have a paid account.
Unless you give me the password.
No way.
Oh, you cheap bastard.
Heck, you're just a gem today.
So I'm mean to you, but you can
call me a cheap bastard when you know
that nothing is further from the truth?
In fact, I am the epitome of kindness
and- Well, then, what's the deal?
Well, the problem is, I wanted to get
Michael Caine doing a No Agenda End of
Show ISO.
Right, because then you could kick my ass
in this deal.
I'm going for the free voices.
Yeah, easily.
You're just trying to beat me.
And so you click on the voice, like
you got to give them your name, send
them a message, you know, what do you
want to use it for, and then they're
going to tell you how much- That
stinks.
It's total stinkville.
It's no good.
It's going to be really expensive.
I'm not interested in that.
Oh, it's a bait and switch.
I felt that way, yes.
Anyway, here are my- By the way,
we have John's Tip of the Day coming
and some Dynamite AI slop.
Not all slop.
And by the way, if you remember, this
will be a joint tip of the day.
This cracks me up.
You always forget these things.
I can't wait.
I can't- Don't, don't, don't, don't blow
it.
No, when I tip you off about-
You will- Oh, jeez, I forgot about
this.
Okay, here we go.
Here are my End of Show ISOs.
I don't know what they're talking about.
It's not bad, right?
No, that's good.
You got another one?
Whoa, that's happening?
Yeah, and then I went to the well.
Well, you don't see that every day.
Yeah, but you don't see this.
We're a podcast.
We don't, you don't see anything.
Oh, please.
Okay, what do you have from the slop
machine?
Okay, well, I have a real one.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Always a winner.
Yeah, yeah.
You've used that one before.
Then we have, let's go with nuts.
If you did not like this, then you
are nuts.
Huh?
That's pretty, that's pretty good.
Yeah, well, then go with awards.
This podcast should be winning all the awards.
Well, it's obvious that's the one we're going
to use because it's true.
We should be winning the awards.
Well, I cannot wait.
It's a joint tip of the day.
Yeah, I'll trigger the joint tip by just
saying to you, hey, you bought a new
TV, didn't you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I bought a new TV.
There's nothing on.
Yes, this was a Costco.
We were at Costco.
Our TV is 12 years old.
It came with the house.
And we've been saying to each other for
weeks now, like, you know, we should really
get a new TV because we can get,
we had a 56 inch.
We could, we could go up a size
65.
And it's uncanny because once I hung that
sucker up for like a week, there was
nothing worth watching at all.
At all.
We're talking about TV here, not content.
Yeah, well, exactly.
So the tip is, if you go to
Costco and we went to the Costco in
San Antonio, where I'm sure, I'm so sure
that I paid.
You don't need to just get this brand
at Costco, but okay.
Well, I'm sure that I paid 125 for
my hot dog and drink, but I guess
it was 150.
And this is an OLED, O-L-E
-D from LG.
Now they have two.
They have one with the S, the A9i
processor, which is some AI nonsense.
You want the eight, the eight.
And you just look at all the TVs
there.
And this thing just blows, I mean, blows
them all away.
There's no, as you said, there's no viewing
angle.
There's no viewing angle.
You can watch it from anywhere.
Now it's not cheap because most of those
TVs are around 500 bucks and this was
not.
I've seen them for like some of these
off brands for like 349, 50 inches.
And that's what I was going for.
Yeah, that was, yeah.
But this.
You made the right decision.
When you see this TV or just call
it a screen, you shouldn't even call it
a TV.
Just call it a screen.
999 man, which was a steal in my
opinion.
They're normally about 1400 bucks, but this we're
talking about the LG.
By the way, do you know what LG
stands for?
This is why they never use the real
name.
It's the most Asian name of any company
that sells anything.
Best price.
Lucky gold star.
No.
Yeah, yeah.
Lucky gold star.
Yeah, that's the name of LG.
That's what LG means.
Oh, I didn't know that.
The more you know.
The more you know.
So I have been an advocate of these
OLEDs from LG specifically because they're the ones
who specialize in them.
Everybody else, you know, people make them and
there's a thing called a QLED, which is
just trying to get off the name.
It's not OLED at all.
It's just a phony.
It's really nice set.
Those are from Samsung.
But I would say if you're going to
buy a new television, it's more expensive by
a factor of at least two but the
quality of an OLED and the lightness, the
thing doesn't weigh anything.
No, I mean, I took that old Sony
off the wall, almost broke my back.
That thing was so heavy.
And this, you can lift it up with
one hand.
Yep, you can lift it with one hand.
It's super thin and the luminance that comes
off of it.
I mean, and you have all these, Brunetti
will like this.
You have a creator mode.
So it can automatically start up with all
the settings that the filmmaker intended it to
be.
Which I immediately shut off.
I shut it off.
Like, no, I want it bright.
And then you're sitting there like your eyes
are burning from this OLEDs.
And then you have a reduced blue light.
Okay, I'll reduce that.
Oh, you can definitely do that.
Yeah, but there's a lot of settings you
can get it so you're comfortable with what
it looks like because it has a huge,
it has a bigger color gamut.
It has HDR that is dynamite, which is
a high dynamic range.
So it's the blacks are black and the
whites are white.
It is the OLED from LG.
If you're going to buy a new TV,
just bite the bullet and get one of
these.
These things are fantastic.
Now, the only thing I'll say is, I
guess we've never really had HDR and 4K
because I never really cared about it.
Now I watch movies.
It's like, Tina keeps saying it's like it's
live.
You know, because it's so, I mean, you
really see things that you never saw before.
I know I'm late to this party.
Like, duh.
Okay, Boomer, where you been?
I get it.
You get finally get to sell your tube
TV.
Yeah.
I warm that thing up for 15 minutes
before I hit the other button.
Remember we had that when, back in the
day, you had color TVs and he had
to hit the warm up buttons.
You had to warm it up.
And I never had two buttons on the
ones we had.
Oh, I remember.
And if you hit the wrong button, then
it would go on right away.
And my dad, but you didn't warm it
up.
It's going to reduce the life of this
thing.
That's good.
That's funny.
The only other thing I really dislike about
it is when you grab the remote control,
like a mouse pointer shows up on the
TV.
Yeah, I actually like that.
I hate that thing.
I just want to use my rocker, you
know, the little rocker.
And by the way, if you didn't jerk
it so hard, it's got to grab one
of these, but they're called gyroscope chips.
So if you grab it gently and hold,
it doesn't bring the cursor up.
If you shake it, the cursor shows up.
What you're doing is grabbing it like a
madman.
Grab it gently and just move it around
gently.
And there it is.
A double tip of the day.
Get them all at tipoftheday.net.
Yeah, people are already saying in the troll
room, what do you mean no viewing angle?
Trust me.
There's no place you can sit that you
don't see a perfect screen.
It's unbelievable.
These things are really unbelievable.
Yeah, there's no like optimal places.
No, there really isn't.
Well, I got to be in the middle
so I can actually see the image.
We got MVP with an end of show
slop, starting it all off.
Remember, getmojams.com where you can hear all
the end of show mixes and slop 24
hours a day.
OisÃn Berga with a non-slop homemade Diddy.
Then we've got David Denton coming in with
two songs, biographical one about me.
And then definitely our musical closer, big finishing
number about your second host on the No
Agenda Show, John C.
Dvorak.
All fictional.
It's all fiction.
Yeah, it's like from a bad wiki page.
We got random thoughts coming up next on
No Agenda Stream, so stay tuned for that.
And we'll be back on Sunday to bring
you more media deconstruction.
I'm sure we'll hear something about the Epstein
files after they scrub them.
Remember us at noagendadonations.com coming to you
from the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We'll see you on Thursday.
Take care.
Remember, we do not conform to the ways
of the world.
We do this as a public service.
Adios, mofos.
Ahoy, ahoy.
And such.
It's got the Jolly Roger skull in that
step.
But that's not all.
The sport's a little party.
Where can I get one?
He asked with a plea.
I need that flag right here with me.
Oh, the Jolly Roger straw hat flag.
Let the wind make it snap.
Put a Fredericksburg home on the treasure map.
Adam wants some free stuff.
He's got the mask.
This flagpole duel is moving fast.
J.C.D. chimed in.
Well, I need one too.
I'll fly it proudly, just like you do.
No flagpole standing tall in Berkeley.
Said, so I don't know about that.
Right back to AC.
Oh, I'll fly it.
It'll be a tour right here.
I'll fly it.
No problem, keep it quiet.
But J.C.D. was cunning.
He played a slick hand to get the
free loot sent from the fans across the
land.
Oh, the pirate straw hat flag.
Let the wind make it snap.
A Fredericksburg shanty on the treasure map.
One wants some free stuff.
The other's got the mask.
This flagpole duel is moving fast.
They argue up the ante.
It's a giveaway heist.
You'll get the flag and I'll be put
on ice.
I'm the one who solicits all the bounty
and grace.
You're getting the clue, 10 points.
Wait, a flagpole.
You don't have one, I protest.
No, I don't have a flagpole whatsoever.
Wearing a Gen Z hat.
This is a cracker.
I got my cracker.
I got my flashlight.
I got my wind-up radio.
Yeah, I'm ready for the drone war.
I mean, how stupid are people?
I got a flashlight.
A water bottle and some crackers and a
flashlight.
A stupid flashlight.
From the Danish government for the money that
they spent on a flashlight.
A Danish flashlight.
I have a flashlight.
When the aliens invade, I have a flashlight.
A Danish flashlight.
So I can blind them in the eye
and send them oars in the sky with
my flashlight.
My Danish flashlight.
I have a water bottle and some crackers
and a wind-up radio.
So I can listen to the news in
mono with my lit flashlight.
I love the government.
They are so nice.
