Overview

In Episode 1819, titled "FLOP30", Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, the “Crackpot and the Buzzkill,” continue their signature format of deconstructing the media and providing unfiltered commentary on current events. Key themes include political media theater, the manufactured drama around populist figures, the ritual dysfunction of international climate summits, ongoing deceptions in geopolitics, and meta-commentary on the state of podcasting and digital culture. True to No Agenda tradition, the episode is rich with analysis, skepticism, and trademark irreverence.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Sumo Wrestling & Political Narratives

• Breaking News: The episode opens with banter about a Ukrainian winning the sumo championship, sparking a discussion on the unexpected presence of Ukrainians in the sport and the suspicious political undertones possibly affecting the outcomes, including gambling and “rigged” matches.
  [00:40]

  "I'm not gonna say it's that, but there's a lot of gambling that the Japanese love." — John

Japan, China, and the Disputed Seafood Crisis

• Seafood Industry Manipulation: An email from “Dame Astrid” explains that China is refusing to buy Japanese seafood, officially citing radiation but possibly leveraging the issue amid diplomatic tensions. The hosts dissect how media narratives are shaped (or invented) for local consumption.
  [03:11]

  "Rather than selling them cheap to the Japanese, it was better to pretend a bad harvest." — Adam

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Resignation Analysis

• Political Intrigue & Fallout:
  The “anonymous Austin lobbyist” delivers an inside scoop on MTG’s abrupt resignation from Congress, highlighting power struggles, the role of Trump, donor pressure, and the emergence of a military-industrial complex-aligned opponent. They analyze possible reasons, implications for GOP unity, and the personal toll on MTG amid media demonization.
  [06:44]

  "If you're not voting with the party, then maybe you shouldn't be a member..." — Adam

  • Notable audio clips of Trump dismissing Massie ("Rand Paul Jr.") and responding dismissively about Tucker Carlson’s interview with controversial figure Nick Fuentes. [10:34, 17:30]

• Speculation: Is MTG angling for TV punditry or gubernatorial ambitions? The hosts question whether the public drama is staged or genuine, and note the media's relentless fixation on fueling division (“America First” vs “MAGA”).
  [12:55]

  "She quits out of the blue... She doesn't seem like a quitter." — John

Epstein Files, JMail, and Agency Jokes

• The Epstein Email Trove: The hosts introduce “JMail,” a parody web interface that lets users browse the 20,000+ Epstein estate emails, questioning whether the prank is a CIA or agency psyop to shape public focus or trivialize the revelations.
  [20:08]

  "It's got agency bricks written all over it, doesn't it?" — Adam

• Deconstruction of Matt Taibbi & Walter Kirn’s Podcast: Dissecting Taibbi and Kirn's recent takes on the actual scale of Epstein’s influence, especially connections to British elites, US power, and systemic corruption.
  [24:24]

  “What these documents will expose is systemic corruption on a scale previously not imaginable.” — Taibbi

• Press Corps Satire: Discussion on the dereliction of mainstream media, especially in ignoring major elements of the Epstein saga and international political operations (e.g., Russiagate’s likely Anglo-American orchestration).
  [27:18]

  "If we had a real press corps, there would have been God knows how many reporters assigned to that by now." — Kirn

Muslim Hysteria Ops & Domestic Politics

• Texas Mosque Panic: Analysis of the media fueled hysteria over mosque proliferation and “Islamization.” Emails from Muslim and local producers set the record straight, highlighting misinformation, the reality of religious demographics, and political opportunism by Texas politicians such as Governor Greg Abbott.
  [33:02]

  "This is clearly an op...so that he could be Mr. Savior, come in and say there's never going to be an epicenter or Meadow, whatever you want to call it." — Adam

• Dearborn, Michigan Discussion: Multiple boots-on-ground reports debunk the portrayal of Dearborn as a radical Islamist hot spot, discussing the actual ethnic and religious makeup of the community and benign everyday realities.
  [40:10 – 42:43]

  "They're terrific neighbors. They are very close to Christian values." — Dearborn Zoomer, via email

Trump & NYC Mayor-Elect Zoran Mamdani: The “Love Fest”

• Bipartisan Showmanship: Trump's Oval Office meeting with mayor-elect and self-described Democratic Socialist Zoran Mamdani is deconstructed as spectacular political theater; the two trade past inflammatory labels but opt for a public “bromance” focused on affordability and public order—a masterclass in bipartisan image-crafting for mutual benefit.
  [52:02]

  "But this was a win for the President. I mean, if New York does well, Trump says, well, it's cuz I helped, Mom, Donnie. And if New York doesn't do well, Trump says, well, I helped. You know, he screwed it up." — Adam

• Interpretations: The hosts explore whether this is a setup by the DSA to pull Democrats leftward (to their future detriment), or if Mamdani is just an ambitious, “glad-handing” operator in the mold of AOC or Newsom.
  [58:34]

  "I don't think Mondani is run by anybody. I think…he's full of himself." — John

• Meta-analysis: Comparisons to NYC’s Fiorello La Guardia and FDR highlight the tradition of performative populism.
  [61:31 – 62:09]

Congressional “Denounce Socialism” Resolution

• Skepticism & Satire: The House passes a performative resolution to denounce socialism—discussed as pure political theater, untethered from actual definitions, serving only as pre-election posturing.
  [69:19]

  "What they did is they just did a resolution. We think Democrats suck." — Adam

International Affairs: COP30 “Flop”, G20 Summit, and Peace Plans

• COP30 Analysis: A critical look at the ritualized failure of climate summits—more participatory theater than substantive policy-making, with the usual disconnected statements, empty commitments, and burned lithium batteries.
  [149:44, 151:15]

  “Nobody's happy. Nobody got anything that they wanted.” — Adam
  “There were more oil and gas lobbyists than ever before at any COP30. But of course they were.” — Adam

• G20 Farce: The summit’s credibility is mocked, with Adam and John tallying participant nations against global GDP rankings and noting the overrepresentation of non-member blocs (EU, AU).
  [84:44]

  “This G20 is a scam.” — John

• Middle East & Ukraine Geopolitics:
  A rundown of superficial peace overtures, UN resolutions, and ongoing information ops in Europe (e.g., mysterious drone sightings, “spy ship” scares), interpreted as manipulative distractions and “psyops” designed to prime Western audiences.
  [87:47 – 94:39]

Domestic Corruption: Fraud Schemes & Surveillance

• Minnesota Scandal: A deep dive into the massive COVID-era fraud perpetrated in Minnesota, the links to Somali American networks, and how aid money ended up funding Al Shabaab.
  [107:07]

  “Investigators say once that cash arrived in Somalia, Al Shabaab took a cut. Whether the sender intended that or not.” — John

• Congressional Surveillance: Chairman Jim Jordan’s grievances regarding banks and phone companies handing over personal data for “Arctic frost” investigation—evidence of the Biden Justice Department’s sweeping surveillance of political opponents.
  [155:35]

  “For two and a half years. Every call you make, who you call…for two and a half years.” — Jim Jordan (audio)

Podcasting, AI, & Cultural Satire

• AI Slop & Podcast Culture:
  Ongoing discussion about the flood of AI-generated podcast show art and music (“AI slop”), its effect on creativity, and the impossibility of “hand-drawn” work winning for its own sake. Paul McCartney’s silent protest album against AI is lampooned.
  [137:02]

  "If AI companies exploit musicians' intellectual property... the creative ecosystem will collapse and original music will be silenced." — AI parody of McCartney’s campaign

• TikTok & Social Decay: Satirical clips from TikTok are played to illustrate Gen Z’s anxieties, generational divides at Thanksgiving, pronoun struggles, and performative anguish.

Tone & Language

Curry and Dvorak maintain their iconic blend of sardonic humor, weary pragmatism, and occasional righteous indignation. Their analysis is laced with skepticism for official narratives and a steadfast refusal to take either political “side” at face value. Banter is frequent, with running in-jokes (about “AI slop,” “douchebags,” "TikTok dipshits"), and deep engagement with their active producer/listener base—never hesitating to read, riff on, or correct their emails live.

Transcript

[A]

What Meshtastic.

[B]

Adam Curry. John C. Dvorak.

[A]

It's Sunday, November 23, 2025. This is your award winning Get More Nation Media Assassination Episode 1819 this is.

[B]

No agenda spotting, sedition and broadcasting live.

[A]

From the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA region number six in the morning everybody.

[B]

I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where we don't believe a word of it. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's crackpot in Boston.

[A]

We don't believe a word of what?

[B]

Anything.

[A]

It's all breaking news. Nobody knows anything.

[B]

It's a scam.

[A]

Although breaking, breaking breaking news. A Ukrainian won the sumo championship.

[B]

Alanishki. Yeah, yeah, he is.

[A]

That's wrong somehow. Feels wrong.

[B]

Well, it's actually two Ukrainians that are in the matches. There's a lot of Manchurians, but there's these two Ukrainians. Sishi is the other one. Shishi. Shishi is the other one. He's not quite as good. This guy is a real technician. It's, it's interesting to watch him because he is. I, I knew he was going to win. I mean when the first time I saw him a few, a few tournaments ago, I said this guy's gonna win something good.

[A]

Why didn't you call it on the show? We talk about it all the time.

[B]

We don't talk about it all the time, but I could have. But he is definitely worth watching. He's a pale, He's a big pale guy.

[A]

He'.

[B]

Pale. He's pale, but he's still big and, but he has, he uses, he's really a technique. He can do stuff that is pretty phenomenal. He beats guys. He's. That shouldn't be beaten by him.

[A]

He can do stuff, man.

[B]

He can do stuff.

[A]

He can do stuff.

[B]

Yeah. I expected him to win it eventually.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, well also, you know, they got to get the. You know what I'm thinking?

[A]

What?

[B]

Oh yeah, there's.

[A]

So there's there's an element of political stuff in there.

[B]

There was a couple of match. There was a match with Ono Sato later, earlier in the week where he clearly lost and it would. They could have even called it a tie. But they, he, they. Because there was two days later the exact same situation happened where the two of them went out, kind of went out at the same time and the other guy did win. The right guy won.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It was this rigged.

[A]

It's fake.

[B]

I'm not gonna say it's that, but there's a lot of gambling that the Japanese love Gambling.

[A]

I was gonna say, can we do prop bets on the sumo wrestling? I guess so.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Well, let's just stick in Japan, because we are, of course, the best podcast in the universe, because we have the best producers in the universe. I got a note from Dame Astrid. She is the Grand Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands of the Japan Sea. And she said a little information on the bad oyster and clam harvest, which you highlighted on the previous episode.

[B]

Indeed.

[A]

Due to climate change. Here's what's really going on. China and Japan are in yet another escalating spat, and China decided, once again, they would not buy any more seafood from Japan. So that's because.

[B]

Did she say why?

[A]

No, but I'll finish reading. She is kind of more boots on the ground than we are.

[B]

Yeah, I know, but this reporting is going on. If you listen to nhk, the clam.

[A]

Industry is in a tizzy about what to do with all the clams. And rather than selling them cheap to the Japanese, it was better to pretend a bad harvest. This is from Astrid. So you know she's designed nicer buildings than you have.

[B]

Yeah, but it's not the. It's the oyster kill off that is at issue.

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

And she didn't address that. And it's scallops, which are, I guess, come from a clam. But the Chinese claim that because of a recent rain or some other bull crap, that the radiation from the old food, you know, they've. Whatever that area was where they had the earthquake hit, it is contaminating the fish, and the Chinese aren't buying it for that reason.

[A]

American Yankee. You dispute Dame Ostlid?

[B]

No, I'm not disputing her, but she did not address the oyster issue.

[A]

Well, she will now because she's a fervent listener.

[B]

Yes, she is, which is good. This is very good. But it doesn't mean we can't get into an argument.

[A]

Well, do that in your own time. Get a room.

[B]

I got the note.

[A]

Oh, you did? I didn't know she copied you on it.

[B]

Oh, maybe I got a note from her.

[A]

But no, that was just a note of credit.

[B]

Oh, the thank you note.

[A]

She knows better than to send you any information. If she wants it on the show, she'll send it to me like everybody does. So I got a note from our anonymous lobbyist in Austin. Who? You remember the anonymous lobbyist? Oh, yeah, the official lobbyist of the no Agenda show who told us about how the why the Texas is still a 2 license plate state because of 3M and their lobbyists wanting to not lose out on 50% of the paint.

[B]

Yeah, I don't blame them.

[A]

So the lobbyist sent me two, I think, very valuable pieces of information. And the first is about Marjorie Taylor Greene. And our lobbyist says, I have a unique inside connection about MTG and what's going on.

[B]

Well, before you breed this, can you. Why don't you give us a little background? What happened?

[A]

Like, nobody knows. Okay.

[B]

You know, you're always making these assumptions that I don't make.

[A]

Now to the news that has rattled Washington over the last couple of days. Firebrand Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene announcing.

[B]

She will resign from her seat in January.

[A]

The Georgia representative and longtime loyalist of.

[B]

President Trump has spent the last several.

[A]

Weeks in a public feud with the.

[B]

President over the Epstein files, health care.

[A]

And NBC's Julie Cirkin is at the.

[B]

White House with new details.

[A]

Julie, good morning.

[B]

Well, good morning.

[A]

President Trump on Saturday telling reporters here.

[B]

That he disagreed with Marjorie Taylor Greene's philosophy when asked about the Georgia congresswoman's.

[A]

Shocking decision to resign.

[B]

Shocking.

[A]

The president claimed she made the announcement which caught him and House Speaker Mike Johnson by surprise because she wouldn't have won her primary after he threatened to fund a challenger to run against her MTG as she Congress on January 5th.

[B]

And that means House Speaker Mike Johnson will soon have an even slimmer majority and even fewer votes to enact the administration's priorities.

[A]

So I'll continue with the note and then we can discuss. So a colleague of the no agenda lobbyist works with federal advocacy and is in the same district as Marjorie Taylor Greene, which is a big Trump district. The three main reasons given in no specific order. 1. Trump giveth, Trump taketh. Big donors pulled out and the initial primary candidate announced and MTG would have lost the primary. And I have this primary candidate's announcement. Fun fact. My colleague went to high school with MTG's would be opponent. Opponent seems, shall I say, very dia ish. And do you know about. Do you know about this guy? Who.

[B]

I have no clue about this guy. They're going to run Christian.

[A]

Heard he has a whole blurb here. I'll read a little bit. I'm a husband, a father, a Marine and 10th generation Georgian. Except for my time at the University of Georgia and serving in the United States Marine Corps. I've been proud to call Georgia's 14th district home for all of my life. So then he goes into. As an intelligence Marine fluent in languages.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

What gets better? As an intelligence Marine fluent in the languages of Iran and Afghanistan. Okay. All right. You've been around. I have extensive training in Middle Eastern issues and operational experience in the Indo Pacific region.

[B]

Oh, and this is so important to the locals in Georgia?

[A]

Of course not. Except for the locals who work in the military industrial complex in Georgia. I think there's some, Some, Some business there.

[B]

There is everywhere.

[A]

I have witnessed firsthand the slipping of our national power in the face of existential Chinese threat and the consequences of weak leadership. While I'm committed to enabling the United States to do whatever is necessary to bury our enemies and win new cold wars, Marjorie Greene has consistently failed to understand America's critical role in this world and the dangers we face. I will ensure our military has what it needs to defeat evolving and advanced threats. Because America first means we must never allow our enemies to catch us unprepared or asleep. We can never allow a Chinese dominated world to. And if Marjorie Greene has her way with America only isolationism, we enable it. This is a professional written thing. He did not raise it.

[B]

No kidding.

[A]

I mean, so turning her America first into America only I think is an interesting. I think we'll be hearing that more.

[B]

I think so too.

[A]

That seems like it's obviously part of a. Pros. Pros at work.

[B]

I don't. I didn't say it. I didn't say it.

[A]

Well, I have some thoughts about it, but first, let's listen to. Let me see when I have it here. I thought I had a thing from Trump on what he had to say about. Well, okay. I think this comes as part of the Epstein op, which includes Massie, of course, Massey and Marjorie Taylor Greene, credited with most of the news around and the actual actions of releasing the Epstein files. Representative Massey says he's concerned that the Epstein crow you are calling for head run this through the AI. So Trump sounds good, but the reporter doesn't sound so good.

[B]

Could be a smoke screen to lock.

[A]

Or leave him or file.

[B]

He's not the king. Well, I don't want to talk about it because fake news like you, you're a terrible reporter and fake news like you, they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration. So a guy like Massie, his poll numbers are showing he's at 6% approval.

[A]

Rating right now and we call him.

[B]

Rand Paul Jr. Because he, he never votes for the Republican Party. So they're using Jeffrey Epstein as a deflection from the tremendous success that we're having as a party now.

[A]

So the way I read what's going on here, first of all, I was clearly wrong about. About. Well, wrong. Well, I really thought that MTG and Trump were playing a little game here. I think you kind of at least somewhat agreed with that.

[B]

Yes, that was quickly. That didn't last long.

[A]

Well, here's what I'm thinking. First of all, this is a major warning to the Republicans. And what he says there is part of it. It's like, hey, if you're not voting with the party, then maybe you shouldn't be a member of the party. You should be an independent. But otherwise you got to be a part of the party. That's what I mean. The success he even said the successes we've had as a party and I think he really likes Marjorie Taylor Greene and it's possible that she wanted an out. Anyway, this whole resigning halfway through, that's the part that makes no sense. It's like why would you do that? And I saw her on CNN and Ms. Now they finally changed their name. MSNow same people, new crappy name.

[B]

Actually worse people.

[A]

I have a feeling that she may pop up with her own TV show.

[B]

Well, that's a possibility. She could also run for governor. Yeah, I don't think she's unpopular.

[A]

No, I just. I don't think she's unpopular at all.

[B]

Her long announcement she really is kind of irke by the fact that everyone hates her and they mock her and ridicule her and they threaten her and their family. You know, it's a miserable life. If you're going to go the way she did. She's a qanon nut. She was, you know, she supported Trump in his 2020 election was rigged gut thesis which was popularized with Trump. She was a troublemaker during the Biden administration. She kept yelling at Biden during the State of the Union address.

[A]

We all thought that was funny.

[B]

It was great. I thought it was fat. In fact that's why I said in the good was just going to miss her.

[A]

We're going to miss her very much.

[B]

Yeah, but it's. I think this quitting. I feel the same way. She quits out of the blue in the in January. She doesn't have to do that. She could let her term run out and maintain the voting majority. But she. I think she was some. Either somebody put a gun to her head or she sick of it, can't take it anymore.

[A]

That doesn't seem like her. That's what I'm saying. It's like there's something is up. I was wrong about the game. I think I was wrong about the game that they were playing. But something seems up with this to say, okay, I'm not going to run anymore, that's one thing. But to quit. She doesn't seem like a quitter.

[B]

She doesn't have the skill set to be a TV person.

[A]

That does. That's not a prerequisite to be on these stupid cable news channels.

[B]

I'm not saying that. I'm just saying she doesn't have, have the skill set. I mean, Laura, Lara Trump barely makes it on Fox. I mean, I think she's got a good show because she brings top notch people on as guests, but she doesn't, she's, she has, it's annoying to watch. She, you know, the problem with television is that you, it's over. If you're doing a half hour show, you get, you can annoy the viewers really fast. I mean, I get annoyed. I don't like this. There's a number of people that, that just aren't pleasant to look at.

[A]

Most of them, most of them.

[B]

But, but a lot of them are so unpleasant. It's not like, oh, you know, this is, again, I don't want to get into mode.

[A]

But she's not unpleasant to look at.

[B]

No, but she's not, she's, it's something about her. She is not, you can't put up with a lot. But listen, wouldn't it be small doses? She's great.

[A]

Stay in executive mode for a second. So we're running CNN or running Ms. Now. Both of them have highlighted her nonstop since his resignation. She was on cnn, she was on Ms. Now. I mean in executive mode, I'd be like, let's give her a contract at least to be a commentator on how much, how bad Trump is.

[B]

If you can bring her on as a commentator as a short term contract.

[A]

They have a term for, I mean.

[B]

I would be against it in general, but if you made the argument to do it because you a sense of it, I would say I think we can give her a tryout.

[A]

She can be the special correspondent on all things Trump. Don't they have special correspondence like senior, senior analysts? Senior Trump.

[B]

Funny how those same people become different things at different times. Yeah.

[A]

But here's Marjorie Taylor Greene, our senior Trump analyst.

[B]

I don't think she would do that for CNN or MSI.

[A]

Okay. The, everything. You know, she had her 10 minute video. It plays into exactly the America first versus MAGA, you know, fueling the civil war. I doubt that she's been a Republican in disguise. Something is up with this and I don't think she's running for president, which is.

[B]

No, that's for sure.

[A]

Seems to be like Tim Dillon on Joe Rogan. Oh, yeah. No, I know it for sure. She's running for president. Like, okay.

[B]

Is that right?

[A]

That's what he said. Yeah.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

And Joe's like, wow, I hadn't thought about that. That would be great.

[B]

That's totally mad.

[A]

Yeah, I don't see that happening. But we still have this op ongoing, which I still think is to root out the bad apples in the Republican Party. And we now know that Massie has a new nickname. I'm not saying he's a bad apple, but in Trump's mind, he is Rand Paul Jr. Yeah, I like that.

[B]

It's cute.

[A]

That's a good one. Here was the question about Tucker. You know, Tucker, of course, interviewing Nick Fuentes. And again, this is run through the AI to make Trump sound a little bit legible in front of the airplane.

[B]

Surprising Mr. Tucker Carlson recently had a friendly interview with anti Semite Nick Fuentes.

[A]

Tucker Carlson. What role do you think Tucker Carlson.

[B]

Should play in the Republican Party? The conservatives? Well, I found him to be good. I mean, he said good things about me over the years. He's. I think he's good. We've had some good interviews. I did an interview with him. We had 300 million hits. You know that.

[A]

Hits. Hello. 1996 was in 1996. We were selling hits.

[B]

Look, I can't tell him.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

You know, I hate to tell you this, but that. Just getting there. I didn't hear that. But that. That has to have borderline clip of the day.

[A]

Let's listen to it again.

[B]

Check the call. I did an interview with him. We read 300 million hits. You know that. Look, I can't tell him. Will you let me finish my say? You are the worst. You're with Bloomberg, right? You are the worst. I don't know why they even have you. We've had some great interviews with Tucker Carlson, but you can't tell him who to interview him. And if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don't know much about him.

[A]

But if he wants to do it.

[B]

Get the word out, let him. You know, people have to decide. Ultimately, people have to decide.

[A]

Get the word out. Ultimately, people have to decide. Get what word out? Why did he say that Tucker Carlson has to get the word out?

[B]

I have no idea. That makes no sense. Well, he's condemning that poor woman. That was either Catherine or Peggy.

[A]

No, it's Catherine. It might have been Piggy. I don't know.

[B]

Yeah, there's this Bloomberg girl. Why are they on the plane? This. This is like world. Free world travel for these reporters. And they're getting these rides on the, on the plane to go wherever. You know, this got to be a great gig to be on the Air Force One flying around. And why are they allowed on the plane if they're so bad? This makes no sense to me. You get to pick and choose who gets to come on the plane. It's not like everyone. It's a free for all.

[A]

Because he likes it. He loves this. But beside that, he said I think he's a sadist. Get the word out. If he hadn't said hits, which kind of discredits everything coming out of his mouth.

[B]

Totally does.

[A]

Anyway, so this all kind of folds into Epstein. I don't want to stay on Epstein too long for obvious reasons because it's boring and we don't have anything really.

[B]

New other than I have no clips.

[A]

I don't think I do, actually. But other than the hilarious Gmail or J Mail, you see that thing they created? Oh, it's a website and it functions just like Gmail, except they've put all of Epstein's emails in there. The 20,000 emails. So there's boxes on the left.

[B]

Like, I have not seen this.

[A]

Oh, it's very good.

[B]

So have you dug into it?

[A]

Well, I mean, it's 20,000. Of course. I looked at it a little bit. So it's JMail World J M A I L. You should just pull it up because he's got. On the left, he's got Michael Wolfe, Larry Summers, Steve Bannon, Joey Ito, Ghislaine Noam Chomsky, Tom Pritzker, Dershowitz. And it looks exactly like Gmail. You can read all the threads. It's very well done. Very well done.

[B]

Who did it?

[A]

A couple of dudes. I don't think anyone actually. Did anyone claim this? Let me see.

[B]

The reassure is not agency.

[A]

Well, that's a good. That's a good question because according to Wired. Let's see what Wired says. Wired's headline is Pranksters recreated a working version of Jeffrey Epstein's Gmail box. I think this is a very good question. You pose this.

[B]

It's got.

[A]

It's got agency bricks written all over it, doesn't it? Yeah. Let me see. What, does it have an aboot? Is there an aboot here? Anyway, let me see. No, that doesn't. Oh, you're logged in as Jeffrey Epstein. We compiled these Epstein estate emails from the house Oversight release. Converting the PDFs to structured text with an LLM made by Luke Igel and Riley Waltz.

[B]

Mm, sure.

[A]

Exactly. That's a very good point. Someone's trying to pass on a message in the form of a joke which has. Yeah, Agency Trump written all over it. So regarding this, I'm going to deconstruct a podcast which usually gets people very, very mad whenever we do that. I will give you an example of the emails.

[B]

Shooting inside the tent.

[A]

Shooting inside the tent, man. Hey, when you're shooting at the enemy, don't shoot to the guy sitting next to you. And this kind of came about firstly because there was. JP Morgan's CEO, Jamie Dimon, hosted a birthday bash this week for King Charles III at the bank's New York headquarters, had the building completely lit up in a British flag, invited Tony Blair and the British consulate. Brian Cox. I guess he's British, you know, and even though the king wasn't there, it's like, well, you know, I don't know.

[B]

The king wasn't there. I don't. Wait a minute, let me get this straight.

[A]

I don't know what that was about other than. And I'm on your side, guys, because, you know, JPMorgan Chase is implicated in a lot of these. Like a billion dollars worth of.

[B]

What you witnessed was a cry for help.

[A]

Cry for help. Exactly. So we've been talking about this North Sea Nexus, the English Dutch, the Anglo Dutch system. And I'm proud to say that America this week with Matt Taibbi and Walter Kim. No one can say Matt Taibbi is a bad journalist. He's done some of the most amazing reporting, particularly I would say, the 2008 Great Depression. I mean, he.

[B]

His financial reporting is outstanding.

[A]

Great financial reporting.

[B]

He's also a fun writer.

[A]

Yes. And his writing is a lot more fun than listening to him on the podcast, particularly.

[B]

Oh, he's terrible podcaster, but he is a terrific writer. He knows how to put the little ST sides in there. Nasty stuff.

[A]

So I had to cut out a lot of. A lot of that.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[A]

But these guys, they're finally on the no agenda train. And I'm happy to report they're starting to figure it out.

[B]

And I will stand on my contention that I think he was way more involved in United States. Who is this?

[A]

This is Walter Kim.

[B]

Not Walter Kerr.

[A]

Walter Kim.

[B]

It's not Walter Kerr.

[A]

No, it's Walter Kim. Walter Kim. Let's see. I think it's Kim. Yeah, it's Kim. Walter Kim. Let me see. Is it Kim? I thought it was Kim.

[B]

Walter Kim, Journalist, Sounds exactly like Walter Kerr.

[A]

Maybe it's, maybe it's Kerr. Maybe I'm wrong. No, no, this is the guy. American novelist, literary critic, essayist.

[B]

Yeah, that'd be Kerr.

[A]

It's Kim. Oh, Kern. I'm sorry, Kern, Yes.

[B]

Oh, Kern, Yes, Kern.

[A]

Okay, so we were both wrong. Walter Kern. You were right. I got closer, you much closer than I did. Walter Kern.

[B]

And I will stand on my contention that I think he was way more involved in United States scene than he was the Israel agent who had somehow managed to compromise the entire US Establishment without the knowledge of our. Or with, you know, somehow with the cooperation of our, you know, agencies. Doesn't stand to reason. I think this is going to be an exposure of really vast proportions and we've just seen a touch of it. His influence in Congress. Right. That's my guess, is that what it.

[A]

Will expose, what these documents will expose is systemic corruption on a scale previously not imaginable.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Because with Epstein, just, just to take.

[B]

The example of the officials in both JP Morgan Chase and the U. S.

[A]

Virgin Islands government you're dealing with, every single person has guilt, has knowledge about who this person is and what he does. And you know, it's.

[B]

It's one thing to look the other.

[A]

Way when you're not sure if so and so might have a gambling conviction in their past or something like that. It's another thing entirely to talk about.

[B]

Like systematic sex trafficker and money, money launder. Right. And, and he's also in some way involved with the British.

[A]

Ah, see, this is where I'm like, oh, what kind of involvement could that be?

[B]

You don't go sit on, you know, you don't go sit in the castles of the royal family with Tres Lane Maxwell and get photographed. You don't, you don't corrupt Prince Andrew. Listen, very quietly, Prince Andrew has been moved out of the royal family. They're stripping him of his titles right now. It just happened in the last couple weeks. Are you kidding me? This guy had penetrated or was somehow, pun intended, of the British at the highest levels.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And, and they have a lot of downside in Russiagate too. I mean, what we know now about the Russiagate operation was that it was a two state job. @ least Britain's role in Russiagate is.

[A]

It's another one of those stories that.

[B]

You know, if we had a real.

[A]

Press corps, there would have been God knows how many reporters assigned to that by now. Right. And, and they're just not these nobody.

[B]

Does nobody does the work. Right. How come they. How come they never get mentioned?

[A]

How.

[B]

How come it's always Israel, Israel, but we have this guy who, you know, was palling around with the second in line for the throne or whatever, I guess, at one point maybe, who has now been exiled practically from the monarchy of England. No biggie. Talk about the dog that didn't bark.

[A]

So I can't wait to see Matt Talibi's inbox. You Zionist shill. You taking shekels again from Israel? No, he completely understands it.

[B]

Well, I don't know about that completely.

[A]

Well, but no, you're right. And he will report on it and no one will read it and no one will say anything about it, but at least he'll write about it. And he connects this to Russiagate, which we already saw happening. And this is probably the reason why Trump wanted this Epstein stuff delayed, because he's got, on one hand, he's got Department of Justice going after everybody who was involved in Russiagate. He wanted to bring this in at the appropriate time, which would be right before the midterms. And of all these embarrassments and everything taking place, which, by the way, I think probably wouldn't work anyway with the way our media operates. It would either be ignored or it would be.

[B]

Yeah, I have to agree. Because there's too much stuff out there right now that's being ignored.

[A]

So let's. So here's where.

[B]

But he was an idea that he had in mind, which I think is one of the. Another one of the reasons he was hating on Marjorie Taylor Greene, because her and these other boneheads were popping it too quick.

[A]

Popping it too quick.

[B]

And they, and they couldn't take a chance on reading them in because, you know, if you do that. Because there were, you know, loose cannons.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you couldn't say anything, say, Marjorie, here's what we're up to. We want this to go on until like, you know, next year around March.

[A]

April, May, at least. At minimum.

[B]

At least July would be better. And can you just cool it? Cool your jets and. Well, I can't do that.

[A]

Yeah. So here's Taibi connecting it all.

[B]

It's all a carefully sculpted non story.

[A]

Which again, is right back where we were in 2018 and 2019. And this time, instead of anti Russian.

[B]

Hysteria, it's going to be Israel hysteria.

[A]

That's gonna, it's gonna drive this whole thing, as you point out, like. And you, you just caught me screwing this up.

[B]

Robert Maxwell's British. Right. You know, British newspapers. He was Next he was next to Rupert Murdoch. As a purveyor of tabloid journalism in England, Ghislaine hung out with the Royal family. If you map American society, which I have tried to do in an amateur way, okay, for, for 30, 40 years, who knows who, who hangs out with who, where do they hang out, what do they do together, whose friends, who, you know, who hires each other. You will find that Jeffrey Epstein, since about the 1990s has been one degree of separation from everyone from entertainers to press people to politicians to royals.

[A]

And then the final bit where Kern really gets to show his background.

[B]

And you gotta remember, the royal family of England in some ways is a pyramid, is the peak of the pyramid. And even in terms of American social life, those people come to America a lot and the invitations that they give in England are answered by Americans. Vanity fair in the 1980s where I worked was an absolute royal worship fest. You know, the, the British kind of invasion of American and New York society which began in the 80s, went on.

[A]

This is the precondition for spy.

[B]

Absolutely, absolutely. New York was edited by Tina Brown, former editor of the Tatler in, you know, the London society magazine, whose husband was the former editor of the Sunday Times, Harry Evans. Many, many would have thought that he was also associated with the British establishment, let's put it that way. And having gone to school over there, I can tell you that the difference between British intelligence and British high society is not. It's not a difference.

[A]

Welcome to the party. Walter and Matt. I love that they're looking at this scene, seeing it this way, which is a good way to look at it.

[B]

Yeah, it's a better way of looking at than the standard fare right now, especially if you listen to all the. These two bit analysts is the. This is Islamists plus communists are getting together. This, the Islam, it's the Eck. Is the old communist regime from Russia, from the Soviet Union. The same communists are teaming up with the Islamists. Have you not. You haven't seen this?

[A]

Yes, of course, of course I have.

[B]

And it's like it does. It makes zero sense.

[A]

Well, here's part two of the email from the anonymous official no agenda lobbyist. Quick note on Texas, you're spot on with the Muslim talk, trying to get out the GOP vote. Abbott is running for governor again, announced on November 9, and his campaign is pulling no punches. How do I know? I talked to the two men running his campaign as they are working with me and some of the members I represent in Texas to do political events touting Texas Manufacturing. Is the propaganda directly connected to the campaign? Probably not, but that doesn't mean conversations never happened. So this is exactly why Abbott, the minute this thing started to peak a little bit with 48 new mosques in Texas in 24 months, why he comes out with a proclamation. Hey, I'm Gregory Abbott. I'm here to protect you from these terrorist organizations. Have no worry. I'll take care of you. And after we discuss this, that this is clearly an op, I got the typical responses like, with all due respect.

[B]

I usually agree with you.

[A]

With all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. By the way, I don't think I said anything about the dangers of Islam, only that this hysteria.

[B]

No, all you said is that this is bull crap what they're talking about and whether there's dangers with Islam. I had a good note from somebody. I don't know if I printed it out or not. If I doubt I'll read it it from a. From one of our guys and he a Muslim.

[A]

Oh, I got, I got his note.

[B]

Oh yeah, that, that note I'm talking about.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And because he's. For some reason I have no idea why this guy wants to be so anonymous. Although he's, he's very, he's very spooky in, in a. The way.

[A]

Should I read the key pieces from his note?

[B]

Yes, please do.

[A]

So first of all, he did indeed call. He said. I called it. I told you care would be next. The next phase is against political Islam and their most refined approach in the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is a very adapt group. Again, we know the Brotherhood was invented by the British.

[B]

Yes, it's called the Muslim Brotherhood.

[A]

The Muslim Brotherhood. Yeah. He just calls it the Brotherhood.

[B]

Yeah. Well, that could be Christians.

[A]

They didn't plan a mass migration to Europe, but they simply hijacked and tried to group all the migrants from Muslim countries under their own ideology. Brotherhood oriented figures were instrumental in driving Obama and Hillary's rebelization in the early 2000 and tens through the techno experts and ops. But there is an op in place which could be triggered by multiple parties. I don't want to point to a specific group here, but there are numerous interests at play. By the way, this line right here tells me that he's in some kind of intelligence. He said Part 1. The insanity of the Democrats brought Christians and Muslims together against woke ideology. There's a group that does not like this. That's an interesting one. Hadn't thought about that. That right wing groups are alarmed by how Europe became and this needs to Be controlled. There's your Texas meme. Religiously moderate countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia are launching against the Brotherhood. They consider the movement their arch enemy. Of course. We just made big friends with Saudi Arabia. Zionist groups are trying to reset public opinion and the gays for Gaza mentality among liberals in the West. You see it really behooves a lot of people this, this kind of opposite. He says he personally thinks a lot of Muslims cannot assimilate into modern societies. They can't even assimilate into Arab modern societies. The nature of open migration that brings the most economically challenged who were preached by the most extreme wings of Islam are to blame. This is exactly what happened in Afghanistan. We have a group of super hard line Salafists gaining full control over a very basic society that is economically driven into the ground. So the reason why we haven't talked.

[B]

About the Salafis for a long time.

[A]

No, we haven't.

[B]

They're also called the Wahhabi sect.

[A]

Yeah. So the United States no longer has an open border. The Muslim population is what, 1.2% of all of America?

[B]

1.3 plus expected to double by 2030 or to 2 point something.

[A]

A small search just in the the Houston Dallas area. Number of churches in Dallas 2,442. So that against your so called.

[B]

How many churches In Dallas alone?

[A]

2,442. In Harris County, 3,414. I mean there are. I mean there's a lot of. We are a Christian nation. We're not like Europe who are nothing who gave up everything. Their churches are now wework office stations and Airbnbs. So anyway, with all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been.

[B]

Is this from the same note?

[A]

Yeah, this is from the one I started originally.

[B]

Not this is from our guy from the. You didn't make that.

[A]

Well, you interrupted me and I went straight to the notice.

[B]

You can still make it clear you can't blame me.

[A]

I'm not blaming you. I'm just telling you factually happened in the, in the flow of the show. I'll start over. With all due respect, your stance is wrong regarding the dangers of Islam. Replacement is like slowly creeping socialism has been. But the punchline will be brutal when you're hit with the convert or lose your head. It's not a fairy tale.

[B]

We're talking again about 1.3% of the population.

[A]

The jihad is not an invention of Islamophobia.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So first of all, if you really want to Talk about Texas. Fifteen years ago, we were talking about Fethullah Gulen's Harmony Charter Schools. One of our producers.

[B]

I forgot all about that guy.

[A]

One of our producers, Sir Mark, he made a movie about it.

[B]

Yeah. Which I went to see and met him.

[A]

Yes. And there's I think 300 of these schools. Boy, have they radicalized everybody. They may have gotten a crap education, but it hasn't worked. So. And we've been paying attention to this for a long time. And if you send me videos of Ayaan Hirshi Ali, who I know personally, you know, you're not making a good argument. This is. We are not Europe. There's a whole bunch of reasons why this is not going to happen. Now, I also love the emails, like, you should get out of Fredericksburg more often. You see what's going on.

[B]

He gets out of Fredericksburg a lot.

[A]

I do.

[B]

And there's also not a Fredericksburg more than you'd expect.

[A]

There's also not.

[B]

But you get out of Fredericksburg more than most locals in Fredericksburg do, for sure.

[A]

So thankfully, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 producers live in or around Dearborn, Michigan, because this is what is continuously touted as the hotbed. This is where it's happening. This is so bad. Just the worst. It's like it's run by Islamists.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So first we get a. A Zetter. Gen Zetter. I'm 29, union electrician, actually working for GE Verona on a steam power plant, which is cool. When I was a kid in Dearborn, as well as ham tramp, Ham, ham, tramp, tramp. I don't know that place. It was pretty much all Polish people. That is not the case anymore. I still work in Dearborn for Ford Motor Company quite a bit. Calls to prayer are a thing, but not daily. Downtown Dearborn is definitely filled with women in hijabs, which to me isn't a big deal. The biggest problem with the Muslim situation, by the way, every single one of these emails tells me that most of the Arabs living in Dearborn are Christians. So they may look like they're Muslims, but most of them are Christians. The majority, if you recall when 911 happened, you and I remember the Arabs in Dearborn were putting bumper stickers saying, I'm a Christian, I'm not a Muslim. You remember that?

[B]

Vaguely.

[A]

The biggest problem with the Muslim situation in Dearborn is they are terrible drivers. Driving through downtown Dearborn is like driving through Baghdad. People constantly stopping in the middle of the street and parking on the sidewalk. Okay.

[B]

They're Terrible drivers in the Middle East.

[A]

They are.

[B]

In fact, somebody once pointed out that the main. They always slam in their hands against the side of their cars to make noise. And honking.

[A]

They like honking a lot. Yes, like honking a lot. Let's see, we got Brad. We have. Here's a Dearborn Zoomer. I was just driving through Dearborn yesterday. Thing is that a lot of people probably miss is there's a massive population of Arabic Christians, mainly Chaldean and Lebanese that live in the area. They've been here since at least the 60s. And the Chaldeans own a ton of property in Detroit and surrounding surrounding areas. You know, so this is. When you see a brown person on Instagram reels, don't immediately think that Dearborn has been taken over. It's just not true.

[B]

Well, it has been taken over by one thing. From what I understand from the people I know that go in and out of there. Good food.

[A]

Very good food. Yes. Yeah. So I put all these notes in the show. Notes or Dweezil of Dearborn is in there. Joshua. Let me see what Joshua says. I've been listening to your show for years. I live outside of Dearborn. Drive through it most days. I used to live in West Dearborn. Everybody else say, when I was growing up, when he was growing up, it's the largest Muslim population outside of the Middle East. We used to call East Dearborn Little Lebanon. I'm a mid-30s Christian white guy. All the propaganda I see is heavy and bull crap. I used to love living near Muslims and I've done a lot of business with Muslim men. They're terrific neighbors. They are very close to Christian values. Even the women. Women come here and assimilate into American values. I see more cases when the women go out without a hijab. They keep their religion, but no one wants to have Sharia law here. Also, I've never heard prayer chant over the speakers. I've asked friends recently. They've never heard that either. I've never even heard them during Ramadan when I lived in Dearborn. Although a lot of people in these notes did complain about church bells. They find the church bells quite annoying. So all this is to say this isn't up and as always, it's politically motivated. And where I first kind of thought that people wanted, and it still could be that this whole epic and Muslims and the mosques, 48. 48 mosques and thousands of churches that it was against Abbott. Now I'm feeling, oh, he had this hyped up a little bit. So that he could be Mr. Savior, come in and say there's never going to be an epicenter or Meadow, whatever you want to call it. They won't be allowed to buy land. I'm governor. I'm the guy you want to vote for. Seems pretty plausible to me.

[B]

I think it's. It's the only explanation.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So now it is not, you know, any sort. I mean, he. Don't forget during COVID He's the one who took off and took a vacation in Mexico.

[A]

He had us locked down for a bit. No, that was Cruz. Cruz took the Mexican vacation.

[B]

Oh, I thought Abbott took off, too.

[A]

No, but sure, yeah, Abbott locked.

[B]

I know Cruz did, but I thought Abbott also did.

[A]

I don't remember. But Abbott locked us up. People haven't forgotten that. So this brings us to who's going.

[B]

To run against Abbott? Abbott's going to. I don't think he needs all this extra leverage. Well, was he thinking there's a Democrat on the horizon that's going to beat him?

[A]

No. I would say another Republican, probably. I don't know. I will ask the lobbyists.

[B]

Ask the lobbyist who's the competition.

[A]

Yes, it would be a Republican, not a Democrat. Abbott wants to keep his power. So then the other big news.

[B]

Speaking of Muslim socialists, I'm not from Texas, and I. So I don't have. I'm not governed by Abbott, but overall, except for his lockdown and some of his crappy policies, the way he handled the immigration thing by busing people out of the state, I thought was genius. So the guy's creative.

[A]

He was a showboater, and he went down there to Eagle and.

[B]

No, I understand that while they were.

[A]

Walking across the border, right through the open fence, a mile away. He's a showboater. He's full of crap. People don't really respect him. You know, he jumped on board once. Once. Trump gave him backing, and then. Yeah, okay.

[B]

Well, get rid of him then.

[A]

I got to find out if there's someone better. I don't know. Give it. Give us Marjorie Taylor Greene. That would be funny. So did you get anything on the mom? Donnie? Visits to the White House?

[B]

I do have a couple clips, I think.

[A]

Okay. Because I got a couple. And I'll wait for you to go first.

[B]

Well, I have now, because I would hate splitted. I have to admit, you were kind of.

[A]

I'd hate to be steamrolling you.

[B]

You normally do that.

[A]

But this is why I'm taking Trump.

[B]

Momdani meeting. This is a good overview from ntd President Trump welcoming New York City's mayor elect, self described Democratic socialist Zoram Dani to the White House House today. This as the House passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horrors of socialism.

[A]

The horse taking place shortly after she say horse. The horse sound like horse to me.

[B]

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

[A]

Mamdani is definitely a whore of socialism, if that's what you're calling.

[B]

As the House passes a resolution condemning what it calls the horror of socialism. The vote taking place shortly after Mamdani touched down at the airport ahead of his afternoon sit down with the President. We now go live to Entities Washington correspondent Mario sue, who's standing by at the White House. Good evening, Mari. What came of the meeting today and were they able to find any common ground?

[A]

Tiff, Good evening. Sure, they actually were.

[B]

And President Trump and incoming New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani seemed to put.

[A]

Aside a lot of their differences today.

[B]

Saying that they look forward to working.

[A]

Together after months of publicly criticizing each other.

[B]

President Trump says that they had a, quote, great productive meeting and that they have one thing in common.

[A]

They both want the city that they love to do well.

[B]

The President began the meeting congratulating Mamdani.

[A]

On his election win, saying that the better that he does, the happier he.

[B]

Will be, and vows to help make a safe and strong New York. Mamdani and President Trump are from very opposed philosophies. Mamdani is a self described democratic socialist who the President has frequently referred to.

[A]

As a communist, which is a label that Mamdani has rejected.

[B]

Mamdani's campaign promises include free public buses, universal childcare, city run grocery stores and.

[A]

Increasing the minimum wage to $30 by 2030.

[B]

President Trump, a native New Yorker, has.

[A]

Called those policies crazy in the past. But today he says that some of Mamdani's ideas are really the same as his. Take a look.

[B]

We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built, he wants to see rents coming down. All things that I agree with. Now, we may disagree how we get there. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City. It's where I come from. Ultimately, it's for the good of New York. If this city could be unbelievable, if he could be a spectacular success, I'd be very happy.

[A]

I feel bad for people who don't trust Trump and like this guy's just an op. He's no big. He's part of the neocon. You are witnessing some of the funniest political stuff in our entire lives.

[B]

Yeah. You'll never have another president like this ever, Ever.

[A]

And it's befuddling people and I love it. Here's Martha Raddatz.

[B]

That was a remarkable scene. I don't think I've ever seen President.

[A]

Trump, that wasn't supposed to happen that.

[B]

Way treat a Democrat so kindly in public. What was that about? It's a very good question. I think none of us really knew how this was going to play out.

[A]

And then it turned into this complete love fest.

[B]

I mean, it really wasn't that long ago that they were hurling insults at each other.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I mean, Trump labeling Mandani a communist, Maidani calling Trump a fascist. And yet on Friday, all of that.

[A]

I think to much of our surprise.

[B]

Was water under the bridge. I thought it was very interesting that.

[A]

Trump clearly knows that Maudani's message of.

[B]

Affordability is gaining traction. At some point, it seemed like they.

[A]

Were trying to out affordability each other.

[B]

As both parties try to claim that mantle.

[A]

And very strategic of the mayor elect.

[B]

To come in and remind the president that some of his, his supporters had backed him. Trump then saying, you know, he thinks even some conservatives will be surprised by Mamdani. I'm curious to see where concretely they.

[A]

Work together and just how long this.

[B]

Budding bromance will last.

[A]

Bromance, you know, I don't know about you.

[B]

Let me ask you a question.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you expect anything other than what happened? It seems so, so obvious to me that once Manda Donnie asked for, for, asked for the meeting that this is exactly what was going to happen. They're both populists and they're, you know, they're just from two sides of the, of the political spectrum. But they're both the same, basically, and they both use the same techniques. As I mentioned my substack column, dvorak.substack.com go check it out. It was, when this happened, it was just like I too, and they're both sales guys. You, I mean, Mandani not as professional as Trump, but they're, you know, glad handers. And what else was going to happen?

[A]

Well, but we've been observing the Trump algorithm for 10 years and it's like, yeah, you could almost predict it. But he took it to a level that was just so beautiful. I think he had chills in the press corps to ask certain questions. And I finally, I think I And this ABC clip, I think has better audio about the fascist comments and all that. But he's sitting down, has Mamdani standing, total power move. Patting him on the, on the elbow, you know, don't worry about it.

[B]

Yeah, they're. They're giving him a lot of touching going on. Hey, you two, get a room.

[A]

Mamdani, clearly not as experienced. How could you be? Just doesn't have the years. Very impressed with him, though. I thought he handled it well. But this was a win for the President. I mean, if New York does well, Trump says, well, it's cuz I helped, Mom, Donnie. And if New York doesn't do well, Trump says, well, I helped. You know, he screwed it up.

[B]

I did what I could.

[A]

I did what I could. Yeah. Here's ABC out of New York.

[B]

It was the surreal love fest no one saw coming with President Trump in the Oval Office, every turn showering Mayor Elect Zoran Mamdani with praise.

[A]

Do you think you're standing next to.

[B]

A jihadist right now in the Oval Office? No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person. The President even repeatedly throwing.

[A]

Do you know who that journalist is? Because she asked all of the, all those hot button questions. I did not recognize her. Blonde. She's blonde.

[B]

Oh, that little. That. Yes, I've seen her before. I. When I saw her because she asked the question about the fascist and I've been trying to think I know who it is. I just can't. And her voice doesn't trigger it. I can't tell you, but I've seen her a lot. Well, she's a big shot on abc.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Well, she's a shill.

[B]

That could be.

[A]

I think she was shilled in, but I, I'm.

[B]

I'm actually of the opinion she's not a shill.

[A]

Go. Let's listen.

[B]

With praise.

[A]

Do you think you're standing next to.

[B]

A jihadist right now in the Oval Office? No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person. The President even repeatedly throwing Mamdani a lifeline.

[A]

Are you affirming that you think President.

[B]

Trump is a fascist?

[A]

I've spoken about.

[B]

That's okay. You can just say okay. It's easier. It's easier than explaining it.

[A]

That. That was just. That was fantastic.

[B]

Just say yeah, because he, for one thing, Mom, Donnie is one of the best obfuscators we've seen for a long time. In other words, he. He everything. You can ask him anything. He's going to say, I don't care about that. I care about the citizens of New York. I don't care about that. I want to help New York be cheap, be prices to go down in New York. I don't care about that. New York is what I'm thinking about.

[A]

About.

[B]

So that's his basic, you know, his basic shield to any question. And he was about to go into that, but then it would have blown the joke. And so Trump jumped in there with his go ahead, say yes.

[A]

He says, it's easier if you don't have to explain it to him. In other words, he basically said, we both know what we're doing here. We knew this is theater. I call you a jihadist, you call me a fascist.

[B]

Just say yes.

[A]

It's easy year. That Just, just. I mean, that was a rug pull. I loved it. I thought that was fascinating.

[B]

Affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist.

[A]

I've spoken about.

[B]

That's okay. You can just say okay. It's easier than explaining it. Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener?

[A]

Now, that was a shill question. Why didn't you fly here? Aren't. I mean, come on. Is that abc? Is that the new abc? Who's asking that?

[B]

Well, it's not a new abc. There's an old. The new thing is cbs.

[A]

But that's what I'm saying. It's like, since when did ABC start to make jokes about to the Democrats about climate change? I don't.

[B]

Well, you know, I'm not going to dismiss your thoughts on this completely, though. I just don't see her being a shill.

[A]

Okay. Well, anyway, you may not be able to hear it, but Trump says it's too long to take the train.

[B]

Why did you fly here? Aren't trains greener? That's a very long drive. I'll stick up for you. Do you see Democrat policy specifically as being a problem? We have some interesting conversation and some of his ideas really are the same ideas that I have. And Mamdani repeatedly returning the favor. When I spoke to New Yorkers who had voted for the President, when we had asked those New Yorkers who had voted for the President, there were more New Yorkers who voted for President Trump in the most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living. There are many things in our city where we.

[A]

I mean, wow, wow. He's just, just upping the big. Upping the President there. What is happening here?

[B]

The most recent presidential election because of that focus on cost of living. There are many Things in our Isma.

[A]

Doni a double agent. Could that be possible?

[B]

City where we have to own the responsibility of it. Things that existed long before the president was the president. Political experts say Mamdani right now is the avatar for affordability in a position where he can provide the president some credibility on the issue. But now Mamdani, once thought to be a liability for House Democrats across the country, may have become their greatest strength. The president was also asked if he would, quote, allow Mamdani to make NYPD personnel decisions. The president responded, that would be up to the mayor elect. He was also asked if he would feel comfortable living in New York. Again, he said, absolutely, adding, we agree on a lot more than I would have thought. So this is properly quoted. I have to discuss the analysis from the right, which is kind of rosy, which is. Which claims that Trump used this moment to elevate Mom Donnie. No, he did not to elevate Mamdani. So the exact scheme that I discussed in that column I wrote, which is to turn the Democrats toward the Bernie Sanders side of the party and make them all think that socialism is the way to go nationwide when it will just kill them in any presidential election, because it's a singular situation in New York. And there's a couple other places which would vote like this. They think they know it all. And also there's Mom, Don. I'm sorry. I'm always going to have trouble get his name out smoothly. Mum. Donnie is going to have difficulty when he gets back to New York by the naysayers there. Why did you meet with Trump and the DSAs in particular? Why'd you meet with Trump? You shouldn't have met with Trump. Why are you meeting with Trump? He's the enemy. Blah, blah, blah.

[A]

You don't think the DSA approved it and set him up for it and gave him the talking points and they just never thought that Trump would do this?

[B]

No.

[A]

You think?

[B]

I don't think Mondani is run by anybody. I think once he. Once he got in, he's. He. I think he's full of himself. I think he's really convinced he doesn't need their help.

[A]

Kind of like a Gavin Newsom type deal.

[B]

Newsom's the same way. He's not run by anybody right now.

[A]

Smoking.

[B]

I mean, I'm sure his love to.

[A]

Smoking his own dope. Is that what you think?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, Mamdani was on.

[B]

He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who's. I mean, he's not an idiot.

[A]

No, no. You don't need to be much more than above an idiot to be a politician. It's like show business for ugly people.

[B]

No, but it's useful.

[A]

It is useful. So Mamdani was on with Manhands Welker this morning on NBC. Meet the Press. So this is hot. Breaking. Breaking right off. Hot off the press. Breaking news.

[B]

Were you surprised by the warm welcome that you got? You know, I was looking forward to.

[A]

Having the meeting with the President to.

[B]

Speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who come call this city we love home.

[A]

Yep, yep, that's she. You're so right.

[B]

It's exactly all he talks about. It's beautiful.

[A]

Yeah, it's pretty good.

[B]

And to speak about the needs of the eight and a half million people who call the same city we love home and to speak frankly about the affordability crisis that is pushing so many of them out of those five boroughs. And I found in the meeting that I had with the president a productive one and a meeting that came back again and again to the same central themes of the campaign that we ran. The cost of housing, cost of childcare, the cost of groceries, the cost of utilities. And it showed that this is an opportunity to now start to deliver so that people can do more than just aspire to struggle in New York City, but actually to be able to live there. But did you expect it to be so chummy? What was going through your head would take to.

[A]

Come on, Kristen, you can do it.

[B]

You were standing there. You know, I thought again and again about what it would mean for New.

[A]

Yorkers if we could establish perfect. I'm just thinking about New Yorkers people.

[B]

Relationship that would focus on the issues that those New Yorkers stay up late at night thinking about. Because so often in our politics we try and tell people what they should be worried about, what they should be concerned about. But when you actually ask New Yorkers and you listen to them, you hear it come back to the issues that animated not just the conversation the President and I had with the press after our meeting, but frankly in the meeting itself. It was a conversation where we spoke about the need to deliver on this agenda. And I appreciated that when the president, when we had that meeting, it wasn't just in the Oval Office. He also took me into the Cabinet Room and there we were looking at portraits of presidents of years gone by and we admired a portrait of fdr. And in many ways, when I think about the candidacy that we've put forward, it looks to Fiorell La Guardia as the Greatest mayor in New York City history. You can't tell the story of LaGuardia without telling the story of FDR and the story of a relationship with the federal government. Government that finally delivered at the scale of the crisis it was facing.

[A]

Now. You would be uniquely positioned to explain the relevance of the FDR painting. They took the picture in front of.

[B]

I don't know what. What specifically you're asking me to do here.

[A]

Well, tell us about fdr.

[B]

Well, FDR was. Yeah, FDR was a socialist or a populist in some ways, if you think about it. In fact, that's the reason I think he got reelected so many times, because he was actually a populist. But he put in socialist. Socialist agenda or left wing agenda, but he was a populist, just like Trump. And LaGuardia is like the same kind of a analog of this Mom Dominique guy. He's trying to put it together that this is the same relationship. And Trump, by the way, picked up on this. And now being equated with fdr.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And that got picked up by all the rivals.

[A]

Everybody picked that up.

[B]

Everybody picked up on the Trump, FDR connection. And so this whole thing is. I mean, this Mamdani guy is terrific as a subtle propagandist. I don't know where he got these skills. I think he was probably discovered just by the DSA guy, by the same people that found the guy with the tattoo. And aoc.

[A]

And aoc. Yeah.

[B]

And he's an actor. He said it, I think, in one of the clips we had some time ago.

[A]

Theater kid.

[B]

He was a theater kid in the eighth grade. He was bitching about some thing in one of the clips we had some months back about some play he was in when he was a kid. Yeah, he's a theater kid, so he's a phony.

[A]

But in the greater scheme of things, this is fantastic for Trump. I think he really handled this. The FDR painting apparently had it pulled out of the archives. Like, hey, hang that thing up there. Mamdani's coming. I got an idea.

[B]

Yeah, I wonder if he showed him the auto pan picture. You know, he's got that wall of presidents, goes right to Biden and Biden pictures, a picture of the auto pen.

[A]

So when it came to affordability, which is really the whole point that the President is trying to gain some ground on here, because that's what Mamdani won on, ran on and on. Affordability. Affordability. He finagled it so that it wasn't about freezing rents and screwing owners of Apartment buildings and homes. No, it was, it was quite the opposite. It was a complete Trumpian love fest on how we're going to make housing more affordable.

[B]

We had a meeting. More.

[A]

I'm sorry. Yeah, Build more. Yes, build more. That's. Yes. Do I need to play the clip? Since you are.

[B]

I'm sorry. I just wanted to get. Build more in there because that's. We had a meeting today that actually surprised me. He wants to see no crime. He wants to see housing being built. He wants to see rents coming down. All things that I agree with. Now, we may disagree, how we get there, the rent coming down. I think one of, one of the things I really gleaned very, very much today, we'd like to see him come down, ideally by building a lot of additional housing. That's the ultimate way. He agrees, agrees with that and so do I. But if I read the newspapers, in the stories, I don't hear, I don't hear that.

[A]

I see what he's doing here. I mean, you agree with that, don't you, Zoran? Zoran, Zora, you agree with that. But I read the newspapers. I don't read any of that. So I'm telling you now, it's Bill Moore.

[B]

But I hear, I heard him say it today, and I think that's.

[A]

I heard him say it.

[B]

A very positive step.

[A]

No, I don't expect.

[B]

I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help. Because I want New York City to be great. Look, I love New York City. It's where I come from. I spent a lot of years there. Now I'm right here. We took a big setback with the mayor that we had, Dave de Blasio. I thought it was a tremendous setback for the city. I think this mayor can do some.

[A]

Things that are going to be really great. Perfect. Bill. I heard him say it. He didn't say it. Of course he didn't say it, but I heard him say it.

[B]

Trump is eyeballing Queens and Brooklyn, but Queens in particular, because there's the limit on, on height. There's a height limitation. The whole city. That or the whole borough. You can't build a bunch of skyscrapers like you can in Manhattan, which is like where they. You don't want to build anymore in Manhattan. I mean, there's only a few places.

[A]

Maybe that Mom, Donnie guy can get that restriction removed.

[B]

That's the idea. They're going to get the restriction removed on the, on the buildings, and they're going to build up. They're going to build up into the air Queensland to make it a mini Manhattan. And that's money in the bank for everybody. Lots of jobs, cheaper housing. It'll lessen the stress on the housing market there. It's a huge winner, and they both know it. I think that's what they talked about.

[A]

Back to Manhans Welker final clip.

[B]

In that press conference with President Trump.

[A]

A reporter asked you whether you believe.

[B]

That President Trump is, in fact, a fascist, a word that you've used in the past. You were about to answer, then President Trump sort of jumped in and he said, quote, that's okay. You can just say yes. It's easier than explaining it. So, Mr. Mayor elect, just to be very clear, do you think that President Trump is a fascist?

[A]

How do you think he answered?

[B]

He's got to go back to his New York fallback.

[A]

No, I don't think so. No, no. Here it's worse. He should have done that.

[B]

You think that President Trump. Trump is a fascist. And after President Trump said that, I said yes.

[A]

After Trump told you to say yes.

[B]

And so you do. And that's something that I've said in the past. I say it today. And I think what I appreciated about the conversation that I had with the president was that we were not shy about the places of disagreement about the politics that has brought us to this moment. And we also wanted to focus on what it could look like to deliver.

[A]

On a shared analysis of an affordability.

[B]

Crisis for New Yorkers. You've all that President Trump has engaged in a, quote, attack on our democracy. You've called him a despot.

[A]

Do you still believe President Trump is.

[B]

A threat to the democracy? Everything that I've said in the past, I continue to believe. And that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements.

[A]

But this is a slick answer, by the way. Everything I've said in the past, like, he's not going to say yes. He says, everything I said in the past, I still believe today. Everything that I've said in the past.

[B]

I continue to believe. And that's the thing that I think is important in our politics, is that we don't shy away from where we have disagreements, but we understand what it is that brings us to that table. Because I'm not coming into the Oval Office to make a point or make a stand. I'm coming in there to deliver for New Yorkers.

[A]

A few weeks ago, I was asked.

[B]

By a reporter three words to describe myself. I said, New York City. And that's what animated that conversation. How do we deliver for the people of New York City? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

This is, this is. This is a good game. It was good. I was very, I was very, very delighted with this, with what happened. It was fun to watch.

[B]

I have a bunch of clips that kind of follow up on this on socialism bs.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Because this was a series of. This was. I don't know why this commentary came up. I think. Well, why did it come up? Because we're talking about socialism and now. Now more than we used to. And this is from ntd, which of course is a right wing operation for all practical purposes that I still think do some of the best news coverage in the world. All right, but let's play these clips because I have the word, I have the letters BS written here because there's some very interesting bs. Just ahead of a White House visit by New York City mayor elect and self described Democratic socialist Zora Mamdani, the House of Representatives passed a resolution denouncing socialism entities Washington.

[A]

But they had a resolution denouncing socialism.

[B]

Yes, I have a clue. You want to hear about that first?

[A]

That's what we're paying them to do. I resolve.

[B]

This is though. Here. I have that. We can do an aside and play.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

And I got to find it on here. It's the.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

It'S not the G2. I got some funny clips today. There is a long. Maybe it's in the socialism series.

[A]

Well, they don't seem very long. They seem very. The next one seems even shorter than this one.

[B]

Yeah, this next one's the shortest one because it's got a point they try to make. There was. I thought I had it on here. They had. Yes, they had a big meeting. They. Huh? Yes. The House went and made an antisocialist statement just before the meeting. This is a complete waste of the.

[A]

Waste of time and money.

[B]

Yeah, well, let's play these clips first and see if I can figure it out.

[A]

All right, here we go.

[B]

House, a resolution denouncing socialism. NTD's Washington correspondent Jack Bradley house the details. What do socialists stand for? Tax raising, job killing policies like defunding the police, shuttering prisons, massive unfunded spending increases, and even government run grocery stores.

[A]

Oh, so it wasn't just a resolution. They talked about it. They had a whole debate about it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So now I go to socialism BS2.

[B]

Yeah. Well, first I have to comment on what this guy just said. Socialism. And anyone can go look up the definition. You can do it right now. Now it's not about defunding the police. It's not about, in fact, just the opposite.

[A]

No, you want to have the police to crack down on the citizens.

[B]

It's not about releasing, closing prisons and letting one out, letting everyone out.

[A]

It's putting people in prison.

[B]

Opposite. So what are they talking about here that's good?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

Socialism is. That's bullcrap. That's the point.

[A]

What they did is they just did a resolution. We think Democrats suck. That they should just proclaim that.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Yeah, that would have been better. All right. BS2.

[B]

Yeah. The house of Representatives passed a resolution on Friday denouncing socialism in all of its forms and the implementation of socialist.

[A]

Policies in the U.S. it was passed by a vote of 200, 185 to 98, with two voting present.

[B]

Okay, so they got a big vote. So everybody voted. Oh, we hate socialism. You know, this is like to spend more time actually doing real work here in Congress. But okay, we hate socialism. They made a point of it.

[A]

Yeah, let me look it up here. Let me look it up. Let me see. Oh, oh, they don't have the full text yet.

[B]

Yet. No, it just happened.

[A]

Well, it still could release the text. Denounce. It's denouncing the horrors of socialism.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, the horrors.

[A]

The horrors of socialism.

[B]

More horrors. We're talking about a lot of horrors.

[A]

Recently where socialist ideology necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule and brutal dictatorships, whereas socialism has repeatedly led to famine and massive. What is this? History 101. This is so dumb. OK, socialism. BS3.

[B]

The legislation. Sorry, yeah. This might be the explanation we're looking for.

[A]

The legislation opposing socialism in the US.

[B]

Was introduced by Florida Congresswoman Maria Salazar.

[A]

The daughter of Cuban immigrants who fled the communist regime of Fidel Castro.

[B]

This is nothing to do with political parties. This is a moral vote.

[A]

In other words, this has everything to do with political parties. And I'm the spokes hole because I.

[B]

Came from Cuba against an ideology that.

[A]

Has destroyed millions and millions of families.

[B]

And murdered more than 100 million lives.

[A]

There were 63 co sponsors on this bill, but they singled out Venezuela.

[B]

I didn't notice that before. For it murdered lives, not people.

[A]

Let me hear that again. That has destroyed millions and millions of.

[B]

Families and murdered more than 100 million lives.

[A]

Your life has been murdered. I think the Democrats should put a proclamation before the House, a proclamation against capitalism, you know, just to even it out a little. Bit. Let's do a tit for tat. There were 63 co sponsors on this bill. But they singled out Venezuela as a.

[B]

Once thriving democracy that was taken over.

[A]

By a socialist regime. Now the country has the highest rate.

[B]

Of inflation in the world. They destroyed the richest country in South America. They implemented these government run supermarkets and they have empty shelves. And the Venezuelans would make fun of the Cubans 25 years ago saying that it was impossible for that to happen in Venezuela.

[A]

They had the largest reserves of oil on the world. They were a very strong democracy.

[B]

They were not an island.

[A]

It's time to denounce socialism in this country.

[B]

Because just like it happened to the Venezuelans, it could happen to the Americans. A concurrent resolution denouncing socialism awaits in.

[A]

The Senate introduced by Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott. Okay, so this is interesting. She entered this resolution in 2023. This has just been sitting around the exact same time text.

[B]

Yeah, but now it's got 69 co sponsors and.

[A]

And we threw in Venezuela. I think. I don't think that was in the original. Throw in some Venezuela. Oh no, it is. I didn't. Where's the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once prosperous country into a failed state with the highest rate of inflation in the world. Where is Thomas? President Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence. How about co author, Author wrote To take from one. Because it is thought that his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much in order to spare the others. Who or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone of free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it. And then we. Then we have President James Madison, the father of the Constitution. Oh. Wrote that it's not just government nor is property secure on it.

[B]

Blah, blah, blah.

[A]

What a waste. What a waste.

[B]

I know.

[A]

It's just a waste. Pretty funny.

[B]

What? It's just a resolution at the end of the day and we talked about this before. It means nothing that we resolve. So what?

[A]

Yeah. In fact, isn't that what it says at the bottom, the top Concurrent resolution. Oh, the Congress. Okay. Resolve. But this is the whole. This is what it's all about. Resolved by the House of Representatives that the Senate concurring that Congress denounces social socialism in all its forms and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States. Okay, thanks. We. You oppose it. We get it. And she's the poster child. My parents came from Cuba. Okay, so there you go then. There was. I don't know if this probably didn't come out before you did your DH unplug, but Kevin Hassett, who was the National Economic Committee director, council director, director. The jobs report came out. Oh, the jobs report for September.

[B]

Yeah. I'm fascinated by the way they presented this, because this jobs report is negative.

[A]

It should be 150,000 jobs. Otherwise we're losing jobs. Isn't that the number?

[B]

150,000 is the turnover rate. The 150,000 is the typical need for new jobs because 150,000 people a month die. Either die.

[A]

Podcasters die, lives have been killed.

[B]

They die or they retire.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

A lot of people retire. Every month this happens. And you have to replace those 150,000 people to stay even.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So if the numbers lessen and people have to keep remembering and for some reason, and I don't know why all the media. Well, it's pretty good. No, it's not.

[A]

Well, here's Kevin Hassett, and he's just giddy and giddy and smiling.

[B]

The September numbers were absolute, like, hit out of the park, you know, as.

[A]

You said, knocked it out of the park. A double is not common.

[B]

Was very rare.

[A]

But if you dig down into the.

[B]

Details, there's actually proof in the pudding that President Trump's policies are really working. And here's what it is. There is a big surge in construction workers. And we went back and traced it back to remember, President Trump said, we're going to expense new factory construction. In September, we counted 11 major, major.

[A]

Companies that broke ground on new factories.

[B]

And hired those construction workers. And the reason why that's so positive is that those factories are going to fill up with new workers and start.

[A]

Making stuff and so on.

[B]

And so President Trump's policy of onshoring production, creating great jobs for American workers was really, really visible in this report. And of course, it shocked experts because they've been naysayers about the president's policy all along.

[A]

So Hassett is just lying. But what I think happened here is because we had a 50,000 jobs report in August. Was it August or July? All of a sudden the news media says, whoa, that's double. That's double what it was. Well, that must be good.

[B]

How dumb can you be?

[A]

Even the podcasters know better than you. So now I think the news that these were no longer illegal immigrant construction workers might have been something you wanted to hide, highlight. And the idea that there's 11 new factories broke ground. Yeah. And that'll take two years.

[B]

Big deal.

[A]

Well, that is that is a shovel.

[B]

Hey, stick it in there. We'll cut a ribbon. And there we go. Let's go.

[A]

You are, you are negative Nelly. I think. I think the President is bringing production back. I think he is. I think it's. It's a good thing.

[B]

Yeah. Like the Foxconn deal he did last.

[A]

Well, that was bull crap. Well, I am hopeful, let's put it that way. I am an optimist. I'm an optimist on this.

[B]

I'm not saying it's not a good idea.

[A]

Yeah. But I'm an optimist that it'll happen.

[B]

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Is it going to happen? I have a couple of clips because I got to bring something up with you. Oh, this is the G20 farce clip. The G20 that's had a big meeting in South Africa.

[A]

Did any of our people actually go? Did we even send any. Anybody?

[B]

Well, they had a picture. This is what got me triggered on this whole topic. They showed a picture of everybody there and it said the United States and Russia. Putin can't go because South Africa will arrest him because he's. He's been indicted by the International Criminal Court.

[A]

Yes. Icc.

[B]

And so he won't go. So that's great, isn't it? So just have it in South Africa. He won't go. And Trump thinks in South Africa sucks.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So he didn't go. But. So they have the group photo and I say, wait a second minute. There's 20 people in the group photo. How can that be when there should be two missing? But it turns out, and I, and I ended up doing some research, it turns out perplexity.

[A]

Who went to the G20?

[B]

No, I use grok. It turns out that Malaysia was given a guest pass and Egypt was given a guest pass.

[A]

Oh, so they made. It was a G20 plus two.

[B]

Well, it was the G18 plus two is what it amounted to. But I have some questions to ask after you play this clip.

[A]

The leaders of the group of 20 have adopted a declaration at this year's summit calling for the peaceful resolution of disputes and opposing the use of force to gain territory. The two day meeting opened on Saturday in the South Africa African city of Johannesburg. Under themes of solidarity, equality and sustainability. This G20 leaders summit has a responsibility not to allow the integrity and the credibility of the G20 to be weakened. The leaders said in the declaration that they affirm their commitment to act in accordance with international law and the charter.

[B]

Of the United nations, nations for peaceful settlement of disputes. They also said that all states must.

[A]

Refrain from the threat or use of force to seek to acquire territory against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of any state.

[B]

The declaration comes amid armed conflicts in parts of the world, such as Ukraine. The question now is how to ensure.

[A]

Its effectiveness with key figures absent from the summit. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not attending the gathering. He is the subject. Subject of an arrest warrant by the International Criminal Court over alleged war crimes.

[B]

South Africa is a member of the court. US President Donald Trump is also skipping.

[A]

The meeting, claiming that minority white people.

[B]

In South Africa are being persecuted.

[A]

Okay, what's your question?

[B]

Okay, so I'm. The G20 is supposed to be what.

[A]

The top 20 economies in the world. Top 20G. Top 20G. The OGs.

[B]

So we're talking about. I'm going to give you the top 20 countries in the world. By the way, we're over twice the size of China, of everybody else, and if I'm not mistaken. Well, I mean, we're massive compared to anyone under China. But when I was, I think in the late 90s, they were talking about how China was going to overTake us by 2020 or whatever.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

No, here's the top 20. United States, China, Germany, Japan, India, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Spain, South Korea, Australia, Mexico, Indonesia, Netherlands, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. Okay, now when you look at the G20, there is no Switzerland. And why not? There is no Netherlands.

[A]

Really? There was no representative or they're just not part of the G20?

[B]

They're not part. Well, there's no, no, there was no representative. But here's what we have. And by the way, by the way, South Africa's not in the top 20 list. Why are they. They not only in the G20, but why are they hosting it?

[A]

The wine is dynamite.

[B]

And meanwhile, here's three phonies that are in the G12. Actually four if you count South Africa. That shouldn't be in it. The European Union had two people.

[A]

Yeah. Ursula and who else?

[B]

This character, Antonio Costa.

[A]

Costa. He's.

[B]

He's the president of the council.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So they had two. The Switzerland wasn't there. Netherlands is not included. But they have, you know, all these other guys. Canada or not Canada, but uk, France, Germany, they're all there. And here's another one that shouldn't be there. The African Union.

[A]

Well, the thing was, the whole.

[B]

So this is Bull crap. This G20 is a Frau.

[A]

That's why we didn't go. And the whole thing was about climate change. Yeah, I saw Ursula speaking. Oh, no, we're still staying the course. Don't worry about it. But you're not going to get any money from us.

[B]

No, I hope that we can maintain that status. That we don't.

[A]

No. I mean, she was even saying to.

[B]

South Africa, no, she's cheap, too.

[A]

It's about climate finance.

[B]

But the point is, is that this G20 is a scam.

[A]

Well, I like how they started off by saying we resolved, that we should have no more wars, because that's basically what they said. No more wars. No more, please. Meanwhile, in the United nations, the US.

[B]

Plan for Gaza has been approved by the UN Security Council. The vote endorses US President Donald Trump's peace plan, also known as the 20 point ceasefire plan. The plan proposes the creation of a board led by Trump to oversee governance and reconstruction and Gaza. It also calls for the establishment of an international stabilization force. While the proposal outlines a potential path towards an independent Palestinian state, the language remains weak, offering neither a timeline nor any guarantees. 13 out of 15 members voted in favor of the resolution. Russia, which submitted a separate proposal in Gaza last week along with China, abstained the vote, but did not use its veto power. Trump applauded the vote, calling it one of the biggest approvals in the history of the United Nations. Hamas, on the other hand, opposed the resolution. The group believes it fails to meet Palestinian people's political and humanitarian demands and that it does not safeguard their rights.

[A]

So that's all taken care of.

[B]

Was that AI.

[A]

No, that's Euro news. No. Was that even Euro news? That was. Let me see. Yeah, that was Euro. It's gotten so bad lately. So bad. But meanwhile, we still have to psyop everybody in Europe. We got to get everybody all excited, all upset. And finally it reached the homeland, the old country. Yes, we've got drones over Holland.

[B]

Dutch military personnel opened fire on unmanned aerial vehicles over the Volkl air base, but officials say the drones left the area and were not recovering.

[A]

Stop.

[B]

Wait a minute. The Dutch military.

[A]

Dutch air. Dutch air base, yes.

[B]

But there's a military, isn't it?

[A]

I think it's an air force base.

[B]

Okay. And they opened fire and they couldn't.

[A]

Hit the drones missed it completely.

[B]

What kind of bonehead. What kind of training do they have? You can't hit the drone.

[A]

Believe me. This is a big. It's all in Dutch, so there's nothing I could play clipwise, but they. Apparently they had lasers. The lasers didn't get it out. They had rifles, but they're not sure if they had anti drone weapons, the.

[B]

Dutch now they couldn't shoot.

[A]

No.

[B]

A little drone flying around over their heads.

[A]

And now all the Dutch love American words. And now the. So you hear them talking like this. Vicunity drones. Gemini said Gemin which is jamming. So now everyone Holland's talking about hey vam kun. We need the drones jammer. We need to jam. So they didn't jam them either.

[B]

But officials say the drones left the area and were not recovered.

[A]

We're going away. Bye. The Independent and the BBC report the Defense Ministry confirmed the engagement and say.

[B]

There are no immediate reports of casualties or confirmed damage. Later the same day, Eindhoven Airport, which serves both civilian passengers and the military, briefly suspended flights after multiple drone scouts sightings. Sky News reports operations have since resumed while investigators work to determine who was behind the incursions. Authorities describe the episodes as part of a widening pattern of mysterious drone activity near military sites and airports across Northern Europe, prompting heightened security and urgent inquiries. Defense officials have urged the public to.

[A]

Avoid speculation and to report any sightings as investigations continue.

[B]

Continue.

[A]

So you've got this guy in Holland who was the drone guru and he actually found out that the previous drone sighting. Remember we had a report, boots on the ground, one of our producers, a drone drone, fell out of the sky. So he. He saw two dudes flying a drone over one of the airports and they had press passes. This is all a scam. Damn. This is a. Yes, they had press passes. Oh, no. We just would just go account for.

[B]

Them not shooting down the drones.

[A]

Of course, this is all just a psyop. And the best, though, is the Russian spy ship off the coast of England. A Russian spy ship has been spotted off the coast of Scotland, and According to the UK's defense secretary, it's pointed lasers at an RAF aircraft monitor monitoring it. He's called the incident deeply dangerous. So what do we know? The Yanta is one of Russia's ships.

[B]

Designed for gathering intelligence and mapping out undersea cables.

[A]

According to the UK's defense secretary, John Healy, it's the second time this year the Yanta has been spotted near UK waters after the vessel received a warning from the Royal Navy in January. At BBC verify we've followed the British aircraft that was likely deployed to track the ship. Vessels like the Yanta often turn their tracking systems off or even broadcast false locations, which means tracking it using publicly available tools is difficult. Well, that's what you do if you're a spy ship. You're not going to broad. Oh, oh, we're A spy ship. We're broadcasting our location. Then they turned it off. Oh no, we couldn't reach it through public services lady. Now we've checked its flight path using Flight Radar 24 which monitors air traffic in real time. It shows a Poseidon P8 surveillance aircraft departing from RAF Lozzi mouth today at.

[B]

9:30Am before it circled an area in.

[A]

The North Sea and returned to base just after 2pm we can't say for certain the aircraft has been tracking the.

[B]

Yanta, but it's the flight path that.

[A]

Indicates that it's been surveilling the same patch of ocean. Which matches statements provided by Defense Secretary John Healey. So that is the actual BBC with the biggest non report I've ever heard about something they have. BBC verified. You verified nothing. So let's get the news straight from the horse's mouth. This is John Healy, I think. Yes, he is the Defense Secretary. As I speak, a Russian spy ship, the Yantar, is on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks.

[B]

This is a vessel. Why? Hold on. That's called wider waters. That means they're still in the international area. No, he says they just call it whether, you know, New York City is in the wider waters.

[A]

Yeah, they're in international water. Yeah, of course. The wider waters is on the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, having entered the UK's wider waters over the last few weeks. This is a vessel designed for gathering intelligence and mapping our undersea cables. We deployed a Royal Navy frigate, an RAF P8 platform planes to monitor and track this vessel's every move. Every move during which the Yantar directed lasers that are pilots.

[B]

Lasers that Russian action is for a.

[A]

Second they directed like one of those pen light lasers. What do you think it was?

[B]

Well, it's probably who you know, a harassment. It seems to me if you. If you're. If they're aiming lasers at you, that that's an attack and you can blow them out of the water, don't you think?

[A]

Not with a P 2028.

[B]

Well, no, but you could have a fighter escort. This is.

[A]

There's nothing going on here. This is just to get people all up.

[B]

You think this is Russia BS total that our pilots.

[A]

That Russian action is deeply dangerous. Deeply dangerous.

[B]

Then shoot him.

[A]

What?

[B]

Then shoot him out of the water if it's dangerous.

[A]

No, he's. He's going to make a threat here at the end. And this is the second time this year that this ship, the Yantar, has deployed to UK waters. So my message to Russia and to Putin is this. We see you, we know what you're doing. And if the Yantar travels south this week, we are ready. We are ready, I tell you. So while that's happening, it seems like peace talks are cropping up once again. This will take place in the G20 nation that did not attend the G20 summit of Switzerland. Ukraine will begin talks with the US on the 28 point peace plan suggested.

[B]

Jointly by Russia and the US in.

[A]

Switzerland in the coming days, according to Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian President Volodymyzele Zelensky said on Saturday he had appointed a delegation to discuss with Washington the plan to halt the war. Also on Saturday, Zelensky and his wife attended a ceremony in Kyiv to commemorate the great famine that Soviet leader Joseph Stalin imposed on Ukraine, which led to millions of deaths in the early 1930s. Meanwhile, Russia launched 104 drones in overnight.

[B]

Attacks on Ukraine, as well as one ballistic missile.

[A]

According to Ukraine's armed forces, 89 of the drones were either shot down or jammed. However, locations were hit by attacks in Odessa.

[B]

At least two people were injured by.

[A]

The attacks, according to local officials.

[B]

109 drones and a ballistic missile and two. That's what they sent over. They can say whatever they want about how many they downed, 89 of them. So there's these 20 or so got through.

[A]

Through. Yeah.

[B]

And two people were injured.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

How does this, how does this math ever add up when they make these reports?

[A]

Well, it came from according to Ukraine's reporting, so it doesn't add up.

[B]

But even are they saying, are they exaggerating the number of drones or are they underestimating the number of casualties?

[A]

Can we just presume it's all just bull crap? That's what I'm thinking. And for some reason, reason a gay Scott Besant is answering questions about the peace negotiation, which I find interesting.

[B]

Scott Bessant got to do with the price of bread?

[A]

Well, here she, here he is with Manhans Welker.

[B]

Let's talk about Ukraine. US Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, Ukrainian officials who I've spoken to say the peace plan for Russia and Ukraine as written only benefits Russia. Let me me ask you simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28 point plan written by Russia?

[A]

I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you I love this. Was it written by Russia because we know that Putin really controls Trump.

[B]

Simply, Mr. Secretary, was this 28 point plan written by Russia?

[A]

I have no information on that, Kristen, but I can tell you I am the highest ranking US Official to have visited did Ukraine. I went last February, and when I went last February, I went with an economic cooperation agreement between the US And Ukraine. President Zelensky pushed back against it. The same people you're just talking about there pushed back against it. Mainstream media pushed back against it. You know what? We did it three months later, and now it is the centerpiece for the Ukrainian economy that this agreement is even funding military plants for the very innovative military sector in the Ukraine. So, you know, I would be very careful in conventional wisdom and to go back to your question, it is a peace negotiation. A negotiation.

[B]

Hmm.

[A]

Let's get some information on the negotiation from the guy who always is in the know back to his sweater matters. He's not wearing the suit anymore. Andrew Rasulas, everybody from Canada. Yeah.

[B]

So we have to remember this is a draft. The authors are Bitkov for the United.

[A]

States and Dmitriev for the Russians.

[B]

The Russians officially say these are only contacts. There is no plan.

[A]

So we're at that kind of stage now. The other thing we have to remember.

[B]

Is that the Americans have said sent.

[A]

A Department of the army team, including.

[B]

The Secretary of the army, to Kiev to talk to Zelinsky about this stuff today.

[A]

Lots of moving pieces. What we. What my takeaway, though, is that the American proposals slash with the Russians kind of reflects the battlefield reality on the ground in the sense that, yes, Ukrainians, for example, would have to walk back.

[B]

From the rest of the demilitary from.

[A]

The Donbass, like the the fortress belt.

[B]

That would then be declared a demilitarized zone.

[A]

In turn, the Russians would stop advancing.

[B]

Below in the two obliges, Zaporizhzhia and Kershaw.

[A]

So what we're getting here is, I.

[B]

Think, a reflection of battlefield realities. The balance of forces do favor the Russians. So, and I've always said for some.

[A]

Time now that Ukraine at the end.

[B]

Of the day, will come out out with the shorter end of the stick, which this plan implies. But again, I emphasize that reflects battlefield reality.

[A]

When the Europeans and the Ukrainians say they reject it out of hand and.

[B]

They want their plan, they don't seem to have the military power to do that, actually.

[A]

So what's back on the table, and we've discussed this before, is the difference between de jure and de facto. De jure being legal and de facto being, I guess, a fact. 20% of the country, though, is what we're talking about. As you know, Andrew, the Donbass, Donetsk, Luhansk. This is an area that the Ukrainians.

[B]

Have been fighting to try and hold on to. And Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, has.

[A]

Said he cannot cede any Ukrainian territory. I wonder how this is going to play out. Now the Europeans are saying, we're not going to accept this either. So what's the path forward here?

[B]

Well, the path forward on the ceding territory is very legalistic.

[A]

There are two terms, de jure, which means, by law, de jure, which means, as a matter of fact now, the Ukrainians have for months now recognized that.

[B]

They lack the military strength to push the Russians out of that 20% of.

[A]

Territory back to the 91 borders, including Crimea. So the Ukrainians have said they are.

[B]

Looking at that de facto recognition, and then diplomatically, they would try to work at resolving this over the long term. The Russians, of course, insist on legally like de jure by law, which they've said they've annexed. That's a very important distinction, and that distinction could actually lead to a diplomatic understanding between the two sides. The other factor that we're gathering from.

[A]

This plan is that that while the Ukrainians would not be required to legally.

[B]

Recognize this, they would only do it as a matter of fact. The United States, on the other hand, would recognize the Donbass and Crimea as legally part of Russia.

[A]

So that would be a bit of a. More of a compromise for the Russian.

[B]

Side, a give for the Russians. So there's a lot of moving parts in here.

[A]

Yes. Doesn't sound like anything's happening to me.

[B]

People do say de jure mostly.

[A]

Instead of de jure.

[B]

No, de jure. He said dure.

[A]

Why? He's Canadian. I give him a pass.

[B]

And de facto means. In fact, as in. Yes, it's the practical purpose, for all practical purposes. That's what's going on.

[A]

It's the fact, Jack. Yeah, well, I don't know.

[B]

That was not his best. That was.

[A]

No, it's not his best. No, that was not a no.

[B]

Good.

[A]

We can. Let's see. We can talk. Well, I have. I have Venezuela with Rubio.

[B]

Well, I don't have that, so I'd be interested in it.

[A]

Okay. This is with Margaret from this morning. Face the numbnuts.

[B]

It is tomorrow that the Trump administration officially will. Will designate the Cartel de Los Solis.

[A]

As a foreign terrorist organization.

[B]

That's a cartel the Trump administration says is linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

[A]

Secretary Hegseth says it gives the administration new tools. Nothing's on or off the table, he says, militarily, legally. What changes tomorrow?

[B]

What becomes possible?

[A]

Kill him when you have war.

[B]

The rules.

[A]

The. Of.

[B]

Of engagement are lessened. So, for example, we normally don't.

[A]

Sorry, this is not Rubio. That's Ruby Paul. I'm sorry, you still want to hear that? Because that could be pretty boring.

[B]

Yeah. Rand Paul's got nothing to say. He's not bringing any. He's like, I would have. They've taken him out of the loop. Not read in on anything. We don't know. We don't get anything out of him.

[A]

Well, I have a question about.

[B]

You know, this Argentina or this Venezuelan thing is. Is interesting to me. They're sitting off the. Off the coast is this huge oil field. And they were not. They were very prosperous, just milking it and letting. Like, for example, Citgo, which is the. The offshoot of the Venezuelan oil company, sell their gasoline directly here. So it was almost a straight pipeline from Venezuela to Citgo to the. To the gas pumps in the United States. It was just making money hands over fist. And you'd swap that out for the sketchy drug business. This.

[A]

No, no, no, no. I. I don't think that's what that is. No, this is about Guyana. About them.

[B]

No, no, again, different story. There's another. Yeah, there's a field there. But the point is, is they. That Venezuela has a field that is massive and they're making money hand over fish just pumping oil and shipping it to the United States and elsewhere, and we're gladly accepting it. And then they swap it out. Did they stop? Stop? Well, I mean, I don't. Doesn't make any sense to me. This is like, you know, having the golden goose, laying egg after egg, and you're just saying, I'd rather do something else.

[A]

Well, social socialism kills everything, man. I really don't know.

[B]

It makes no sense.

[A]

Drug business is pretty profitable.

[B]

Yeah, but it's sketchy. It's not as. I mean, it's. What. What's easier than letting you go? You guys can pump all you want. We'll take half the money. I mean, it's. You don't have to do anything. Pretty much.

[A]

Much. Yeah. I. I don't know. I mean, as far as I know, this whole thing is only about the Guiana takeover. So I'm. I'm not sure what they're doing.

[B]

No, but this I'm talking about. Yeah, currently that's true, but when Chavez got. Was running the show before this Maduro dumb shit there was. You know, they took it over, became a socialist country, and it started deteriorating. That it was. Had nothing to do with Guyana. Then No. And they were still sitting on a big oil field by themselves. They just went, what do they want the other oil field for? What difference does it make? They're not exploiting it.

[A]

I mean, I can only tell you what I know. These are questions I cannot answer.

[B]

All right.

[A]

However, good to know that on this show, the jingles are always useful. May take a few years, but the news always comes back around to a jingle that we have.

[B]

Yeah, baby.

[A]

Al Shabaab is back in business. Where Boko Haram.

[B]

Well, Shabab and Boko Haram. Is that the same group? I don't think so.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes.

[B]

And by the way, did this do. I know what you're going to go with this? You're going to go to the Minnesota Nigerian rousting of the Christians. Of course, they kill a lot of Muslims, too, these nutball Haram guys.

[A]

I looked at that. This is not. I completely disagree with the killing Christians. It's not targeted Christian attack. It's where they're attacking.

[B]

And if you want to look at killing Christians, go to Congo, which you won't do because Trump's done a deal with them.

[A]

Yeah, I. But I'm not looking at that. I'm looking at Minnesota.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Take it.

[A]

All right. No, no, you're. You are. I'm glad. You are wrong. I was not going to say anything about their killing Christians. I disagree.

[B]

No, I never said that. I said they're. Yes, I'm not wrong. I just. I'm in agreement with you. So maybe I am wrong, but I'm in agreement.

[A]

Yeah, you're wrong.

[B]

Is the biggest funder of Al Shaba, the Al Qaeda linked terror group in Somalia. Actually, the Minnesota taxpayer, a federal investigator says yes.

[A]

An alarming claim first reported by City.

[B]

Journal, which spoke with multiple former federal agents. The U.S. attorney's office has charged dozens of defendants across multiple schemes, including housing aid fraud, pandemic child nutrition fraud, and false billing for autism therapy. In total, prosecutors say these schemes have cost Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars.

[A]

Still, there are people that legitimately could.

[B]

Use those resources that are not getting those resources.

[A]

It's past criminal. Minnesota is home to one of the.

[B]

Country'S largest Somali communities. Former state fraud investigator Keshe Magin, himself a Somali American, wrote last year that.

[A]

It'S uncomfortable and true that nearly all defendants in these major fraud cases come from that community. They have taken advantage of the most generous country in the world and one.

[B]

Of the most generous states in that country.

[A]

And according to City Journal, some of the stolen money was sent overseas through.

[B]

Informal cash transfer networks. Investigators say once that cash arrived in Somalia, Al Shabaab took a cut.

[A]

Whether the sender intended that or not.

[B]

Pretty much across the board. People that I spoke to said there really isn't a law enforcement, enforcement solution to this problem. As you said, that's simply playing whack a mole. People pretty consistently told me that, you know, there needs to be a policy change here. Critics claim Minnesota leaders have tiptoed around the issue, fearing a backlash from the state's powerful Somali American voting bloc.

[A]

Yeah, I think Waltz is going to go down for this. There was so much fraud during COVID in Minnesota. Soda. So this may be an Italian people.

[B]

Just taking advantage of you and eat. You know, it's like you leave your door unlocked and put a big sign out and say, this house's door is unlocked. What do you expect?

[A]

That's one way of looking at it. Yeah, yeah. Yes. There's a lot of corruption. John.

[B]

How about some TikTok clips?

[A]

How about one?

[B]

Oh, please. How come you. I have. They're not gonna get. The list is not gonna get any shorter.

[A]

Well, you put. You put clips on here that we played last.

[B]

No, no, I X them out on my list. I made that mistake. That was a mistake.

[A]

Okay. All right. Well, then I'm okay.

[B]

Well, no, you're not.

[A]

No, I'm not really, but okay.

[B]

But let's. Let's do some stuff that might be this, like the. Let's do some stuff that re. Reflects on what's coming up. This. Thanks. Thanksgiving family dinner. I'm so done. I understand that I'm strong and I understand that I am going to get through and I understand that I've been through so much and it's all going to be better. I get that.

[A]

But I'm tired.

[B]

I'm tired. I don't want to do it.

[A]

I know that I will and I.

[B]

Know that it will be fine. I get that. But it's always fucking something. How?

[A]

What? I don't understand what that had to do with Thanksgiving.

[B]

She doesn't want to go to the Thanksgiving dinner, but she will and she knows it's going to be okay, but she hates it and she's bull crap. I think that's real. I don't. I know the bull crap ones. And I think these people are actually insane. This is a woman who's acting like a 10 old year year old who doesn't want to go to the store with mom.

[A]

Surprise. Newsflash. There are insane people on TikTok. There are insane people everywhere.

[B]

Was that the Thanksgiving tantrum girl?

[A]

Yes, that was the Thanksgiving.

[B]

Well, then appears that. No, no family dinner girl.

[A]

So year two of not having the holidays with my family because. Because I am a person who thinks.

[B]

That everyone deserves rights to their own body. Rights to.

[A]

Wait a minute.

[B]

Live.

[A]

Hold on a second. What happened to. Or celebrating killing the Indians? That's what it.

[B]

Let's go back to those celebrating killing the Indians.

[A]

Let's go back to those good old days.

[B]

Love who they want to. Rights to eat all them of those things.

[A]

And. Right.

[B]

Hold on a second.

[A]

Right.

[B]

This woman's assuming that her family is against the right to eat all of those things.

[A]

And my family, some members do not think that.

[B]

And it's hard. Like, every. Every day, I see tons of videos.

[A]

Of people like, oh, can't wait to get to the holidays with their mega relatives.

[B]

And, you know, say all this stuff.

[A]

And I don't have that.

[B]

Yes, they do, because I'm not invited.

[A]

And not all of my family is mega or supporters.

[B]

But the ones that are not just.

[A]

Try to keep the peace and don't talk about it and say things like, there's nothing you can do about it, so get over it. And I'm not gonna get over it. I don't know.

[B]

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not.

[A]

I can't really get over supporting people who have sex with children.

[B]

What?

[A]

Wow, that's a stretch.

[B]

How do you even get from A to B Is beyond on me.

[A]

Well, that is real. These people are real. And it's very sad. This. This all started with COVID and that trauma continues, and SSRIs are to blame, and there's all kinds of this. I find that very sad when I hear these things.

[B]

These people are some woman. One of the women. The woman who did peace and love, the little dance after Charlie Kirk died. Yeah, she came back on. I don't have a. I didn't clip it.

[A]

You have a million TikTok clips and you didn't get her?

[B]

Well, I mean, the reason is because it's not as entertaining as these.

[A]

Oh, this is what.

[B]

What I. What do you think it is? Come on. That's entertainment. Now she is starting. She actually looked pretty decent. She's. It's like. It's starting to show up on her face. She's literally turning ugly. Hmm. Before you. It's just like, the damnedest thing. It's just like, wow. If you're gonna just be so hateful, it really starts to Reflect your looks. Here is this. I won't play too many. This is the last one and you can take a break, but how about playing this one? This is the profound dipshit. Okay, the other day I went to the get. Wait, wait, wait. If you're gonna do the psy, at least play the intro clip. Oh, good lord. The other day I went to a restaurant with my girlfriend and my four year old and the server came up and said, hello ladies, and proceeded to take our drink order. And as soon as the server left, my 4 year old looked at me and just gasped and was like, they called you a lady. She also corrected a family member the other day who she heard me and just went, they, them, they, them, they, them. Over and over again until they acknowledged her. All that to say. If my freshly 4 year old can figure out pronouns, so can your shitty boomer parents. No more excuses.

[A]

Was this a dude?

[B]

No, that was a woman. Oh, non binary woman with her 4 year old who's apparently very erudite, which seems unlikely. You've been around four year olds, so this is like the bull. This one I would say is bull crap. She's just making a story up so she can be on t TikTok. Well, but she's a dipshit.

[A]

Everybody posting on TikTok is all about them. That's the whole point of it. It's the whole point. Look at me. Look at me now. Because every person was asked to retweet and share this following announcement, I feel that I should read this on the show. This is from real Candace. Oh.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That would be Candace Owens.

[A]

That would be Candace Owens.

[B]

And this will top everything that I could probably come up with.

[A]

Probably. So it starts with a revolving light, flashing light, urgent. Two days ago I was contacted by a high ranking employee of the French government after.

[B]

Oh, here we go.

[A]

After determining this person's position and proximity to the French couple. That would be Macron and the Macron brothers.

[B]

The Macron brothers, Yes.

[A]

I have deemed the information they gave me to be credible enough to share publicly in the event that something happens.

[B]

Oh yeah, they're going to shoot her.

[A]

In short, this person claims that the Macrones, also known as the McCrone brothers, have executed upon and paid for my assassination. Assassination, yes, you read that correctly.

[B]

Oh, brother.

[A]

More specifically, that the green light was given to a small team in national gendarmerie intervention group. I'm told there is one Israeli that is on this assassination.

[B]

It has to be an Israeli.

[A]

Of course, the plans were formalized. Again, this person Provided concrete proof that they are well placed within the French government apparatus. Further to this point, this person claims that Charlie Kirk's assassin trained with the French Legion 13th Brigade with multi state involvement. Journalist Xavier Poussard's life is also at risk. This is deadly serious. I don't know. The head of state of France apparently wants us both dead and has authorized professional units to carry this out. I ask every person to retweet and share this. I do not know who in the American government can be trusted since this source claims our leaders are aware. But I have more specific information which is definitely verifiable should they care to reach out to me, to the brave official in France who did this because they were so moved by the evil of Charlie's public execution to risk their own life. May God bless you truly. Let all be revealed.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

I mean, after you go to the assassination squad with an Israeli hit guy, I mean there's. What else can you do after that? I mean, you pretty much have to be shot. How can you top it?

[B]

I have no idea. This, this woman. I don't. You know, I have to say there are a lot of people that. That I've talked to that. Well, you know, some very. Quite close to you.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That are enamored with her presentation on her. Her little show.

[A]

Absolutely.

[B]

And they like listening to her. She does. She's just a chatterbox. She's a non stop chatterbox. She's like. She could have been in.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

She. Okay. She could have been one of those standalone reporters. The ones that. Which you and I have both run into, which go up. They're on a TV news show. People have seen them, but you never worked with them. When you work with them, it's like, wow, they can hold the mic in front of a car wreck and talk as long as you want them to. Yak, yak, yak. And they have little moments where you can cut in and stop them, but you know, and there's. Because they're pros.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And so yak yak. The car came in and it turns out that the driver. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, goes on and on and on. They go on. They can go on for hours. Candace Owens is one of these people that. Who can talk endlessly about pretty much nothing.

[A]

But. But when you take it to this level, maybe someone actually did contact her at this.

[B]

Yeah. Some joker to be credible. I believe it like a. Some. One of the clowns out there. One of the. I know these types. Troublemakers. And they're especially the United States we're filled with them. Troublemakering, you know, young guys that like to do this sort of thing. It's like the crank call guy. Yeah. And it's a crank call, basically. And they throw this stuff at her with, you know, make it sound good.

[A]

But she checks credible. It's credible.

[B]

It's credible. And the next thing you know, she buys it hook, line, and sinker because she's a dummy.

[A]

I hope nothing happens to her. But to keep this going, I mean, she'll have to at least have a bullet go through a window or something has to happen, otherwise people are not going to find her credible. At a point, certain point, the gig is up.

[B]

There's going to have to be some sort of attack. A brick, I think, is what it'll mount to.

[A]

Oh, that's what Israeli assassins do is they throw.

[B]

Well, you know, they hope to hit you. They throw the brick through the window on the off chance it'll hit you in the head if you're sitting in the right spot.

[A]

Maybe it was those Russian dudes who. Who. Who got Fifi Lagarde, remember?

[B]

No, I don't remember.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Volvan and what was the other guys. Volvon. Yeah, those two Russian dudes.

[B]

Hey, Volvan, how you doing?

[A]

And with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the canvas. Assassination squad. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. Devorah.

[B]

Great. In the morning ship sea boots on the ground feet and the air subs in the water and dames and ice.

[A]

Out there in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let me count. Well, if this were Thursday, it would be good. 1888. 1888. Trolls in the troll room. Good to have you all here listening live.

[B]

Why? It's so low.

[A]

Everyone's over watching. Candace's live. It's not that low. It's just low.

[B]

It's very. I think. I consider it very low. If it's under 2.

[A]

If 1,888 people showed up on your doorstep, you'd be like, that's. That's a lot of people.

[B]

Yeah, well, if they're at the doorstep, but they're not. Yeah, well, this is worldwide.

[A]

It's Sunday. People are doing things. What, Waiting for Candace? I mean, you have to understand, we don't have the urgency. We don't have the revolving life. We don't have the breaking. Yeah. We don't have any of that.

[B]

The revolving light. That's the best.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, we don't have any of that and nor will we ever, because that's just not who we are and that is what gets people's attention.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, we could do a better job.

[A]

No, no, we'll never do that.

[B]

No, we could. I didn't say we would.

[A]

We could. Yeah, we, we could, but that's. I mean, people who listen to the no Agenda show and increasingly more zero zeds, the Gen Z's, the zoomers, the Zeds. We love you. Welcome to the party. They're here. They want some real information. They want some insight. They want to get some value out of the podcast, not just be spun up all the time, you know, get some invalu. Did anyone else explain the relationship between FDR and LaGuardia? No, you can't get these things on a breakout. Trump sucks the Republican socks.

[B]

Alert, alert, alert.

[A]

Democrats are no good. No, it's useless. It's useless. Yeah, but that's if just. I mean, you're on Tick Tock or you. I'm sorry, you're on X and you get your Tick Tock videos from X.

[B]

I get them filtered.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, filtered. Okay.

[B]

They are, they're filtered.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There's some sources that people that just plow.

[A]

Libs of TikTok.

[B]

Okay, that's your. Well, that's only one of 20. Libs of TikTok is only one of 20.

[A]

Right, but if I just look on my X feed. Okay, let's just see. Is there an explanation for this video yet? There's one.

[B]

Your feed sucks, by the way.

[A]

It is demonic and straight from the pits of hell. Is the below fear I outlined from last year still a conspiracy theory at this point? That's Edward Dowd. I mean, the guy's actually smart. Imagine being a grown ass man having a full blown childlike temper tantrum over a two word tweet from a three star general asking now what LMA F A. I mean, that's that, that's what, that's what people go for. Oh, I better click on that. That's what's happening and we're just not a part of that. We keep you calm. We're fun to listen to while you're doing the dishes, walking the dog, driving in the car. We're mellow. We're not, you know, we're just, you know, we're funny. Sometimes we bring a little bit of humor. We're naturally funny. I think, just.

[B]

Well, I am sure. Yeah. Okay.

[A]

Yeah. Well, you have Marty the joke writer, so no surprise. So the good part about this is that you can listen to us live if you feel like it. We have sound effects that no one, believe me, no one has that. No one has that particular sound effect. And no one has had that sound effect since 1953.

[B]

That is actually rare, that one.

[A]

That's, that's, that is.

[B]

We own that collectible.

[A]

We. Oh, we have collectible sound effects. So you can listen to the no Agenda show [e-mail] or. Here's a thought. Get a modern podcast app and you will be alerted on your podcast app. This is a strange concept for people. You don't need to have YouTube or Instagram. No, you just have a podcast app and it will let you know when our show goes live. And you can listen to it live or within 90 seconds of us posting it. The modern podcast apps go. Ooh, they've posted. So you won't be waiting around for hours for your legacy app to update and all that stuff. Podcast apps, dot com. Also, you're not getting any ads. Oh, man. These days, you know, I live in Texas and when you get these DAI Dynamic ad and super half of them are in Spanish because I guess there's, you know. Oh, it's Texas. Must be Spanish.

[B]

Oh, yeah, Texas.

[A]

You gotta be. Gotta be in Spanish. So I'm getting Spanish ads. Very strange. Why they can't even figure that out. So no ads.

[B]

Although that's a good point. The work they go into with all this, like, analysis. They got your. They got an ip, you know, geofinder. They got all these things going on. Psychological. They're listening in as you're sitting at home. They're watching you watch tv. In many instances, they got the AI and they're tracking you like a dog and they can't get anything right. How does that work?

[A]

I did get several nice little emails about what to turn off on my new television. Man, there's a lot of tracking going on in those TV TVs that seems.

[B]

Yeah, there is. You have to turn off a bunch of stuff. It's not that hard.

[A]

And Gmail. Did you know that Gmail automatically opts you into it? I mean, if people didn't know you have free email from Google Gmail and they read all your email. Well, now there's not actually sitting there reading it, but they scan through it. They scan the attachments.

[B]

Yeah. Looking for words.

[A]

And they're looking for words, but now they're loading all that into their mouth models. They're training their AI based upon your email. So please send me A lot of funny emails so we can pollute their. Their model. Oh, by the way, so I, I fell down on the job. So I. We were hanging out with friends Friday night and I say AI sucks. This is always a. This is always a good one. Oh yeah, how's the AI suck? Oh, why don't you tell it to show you some pictures of people writing left handed. And then why don't you show some pictures of a clock that says it's 5:12 and they brought it up first. Go. But it wasn't Chad, GPT or Grok. It was Perplexity. Yeah, Perplexity was able to do that. So I have a new one. Ask Perplexity, Chad, GPT or Grok to show you a picture of a wine glass filled to the brim all the way to the the top. This it cannot do. Even Perplexity can't do it. So that'll be the AI tip of the day.

[B]

Well, if it's a. You want to call that a tip?

[A]

It's value for value, man. This is a valuable tip you just got from us, and for that very reason you should return some value to us.

[B]

They can go hard. Hard code that in with.

[A]

I think that. Well, apparently the hard coding in is not easy, but Perplexity was able to do it. And we're about to thank our artists who brought us the artwork for episode 1818. But first I got a note from Wesley and Wesley says, hi, Adam will prompt better create something by hand from time to time. And those people do win. There's usually nothing above that. I cited this from the last episode. As a full time artist, I worked the entire weekend using my free time drawing the coffee and curry artwork. And you shoot it off as not funny? This discouraged me beyond words. I wanted to only supply hand drawn.

[B]

Wait, hold on a second. This is an artist that's telling you this?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

So this is an artist who's never had any criticism ever?

[A]

I guess not.

[B]

Yeah, it's very rare. Very rare.

[A]

I wanted to only supply hand drawn arts since you dislike AI slop and complained about it so much it hasn't even been used for chapters, which by the way, is part of the modern podcast apps. Very disappointed. Nevertheless, have a great weekend.

[B]

Who is this Wesley?

[A]

Wesley?

[B]

What did he submit?

[A]

He submitted the curry and coffee art, which I guess. I guess we talked about it and I said it wasn't funny. Well, yeah, if it wasn't. I mean, that's just because I don't.

[B]

Remember a curry and coffee art.

[A]

Well, maybe it was from 1817.

[B]

Then was complaining about something that long ago.

[A]

Well, that's only two shows ago.

[B]

Well, for us it's long.

[A]

Let me see if I can find it. Yeah, but I mean. Okay, I'm sorry you feel bad about that, but we have. Have definitely picked hand drawn art and we're all. Or hand created art. And we're always delighted.

[B]

But we are. We're actually pro.

[A]

Yeah, we're very pro that. But you know, I'm sorry to say, just because you did it by hand doesn't mean that it gets picked automatically.

[B]

Yeah. And it doesn't mean it's any good.

[A]

No, that's. Thank you. That's the point I was trying to make. So we will thank the artist for episode 1818. We title it the belts Bible Belt Buckle. And this went to Darren o' Neill who got it. He. He created. Was that. Is that an F35, that jet?

[B]

It could be anything. Could be an F. Created by AI. Just a random fighter.

[A]

Probably doesn't fly. And it had ExxonMobil all over it. And that was funny. See that. That's the difference.

[B]

He sent me the. I don't have. I'd have to go look at. Look it up to give it to.

[A]

You, but he sent me the prompt. He sent you the prompt?

[B]

Sent me the prompt to prompt. Prompt was just simple.

[A]

Yeah, I'm sure it was.

[B]

It was like two sentences. Boom. So he. He's gotten to the point where he really. He really has a. It's just. It's the kind of, you know, the prompt itself. Producing the prompt is a. Is creative work in itself. If you, if you. If you're so in tune with the systems, you can. You know how to talk to it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that's basically where he is right now.

[A]

Yeah, that's true. Once you. And yeah, that's true.

[B]

So this doesn't have to be complicated. Well, he says he got on one pass.

[A]

We still got nothing but slop. I mean, that's just the fact. Besides that we did look at other things. Let me see that. Nothing on tv. I kind of like the Schumerize by Nessworks. You nix that one. The Jeffrey Ria. So this kind of tripped me out. So church this morning, one of the pastor. One of the five, Pastor Brian's. He's doing the message and he brings up an AI art which was. If you eat Twinkies, don't be surprised if you turn into a Ding Dong. There's a whole, whole story behind that pun. But it was. It was made by the same model that Jeffrey Ria uses. I'm like, oh, I think I grown. I think I groaned audibly, like.

[B]

A.

[A]

Lot of piggies in the art. But, yeah, didn't really. A lot of people did. You know, the joke doesn't translate if you show a clock with 10 to 10. I mean, good. Darren, with the bumper stickers. Not quite sure where that came from.

[B]

Not sure what that was. Was about.

[A]

No. And what else was it? A lot of. It's too complicated. I mean, give the.

[B]

The jet fighter with the ExxonMobil logos all over was stood out like a sore thumb. As. As the best piece.

[A]

Give people some direction. I mean, how. How do they. How should they approach this since anybody can do this now?

[B]

Well, most people. A lot of the artists right now, we have a lot of probably 25 to 30 artists that have one. So they know how to do it. Yeah, but you should look at what wins and just say, well, why did that win? Try to figure it out. And then kind of put yourself in the mindset that would have created that in the first place, actually, hadn't. You can't tell people how to be artists. You can just even say anything. They at you that letter you got.

[A]

Yeah, well, I felt bad for him.

[B]

I'll give you an example. There's a piece that just showed up. It's going to be for this. They're submitted for today's show. The French Hit Squad. It says, no agenda. It's got some black woman with a gun. And then it says, candace Owens, French. You know, Candace Owens, French Hit Squad. Curry and Dvorak. No, use that piece.

[A]

Use that.

[B]

Oh, not usable. One thing. Candace Owens is not on the show.

[A]

No.

[B]

So what is your name there? And what's the French? She's. This makes no sense.

[A]

Well, you know, I know what it is.

[B]

Not funny.

[A]

Oh, I know what it is. It's just like they put into the prompt, candace Owens, French Hit Squad. No agenda. And spit that out. And like, wow, that's great. I'm gonna upload it. That's Jeffrey Ria. He should know better.

[B]

Was that Jeffrey Ria?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. He should know better than that.

[A]

Yeah. And Scaramanga should know better than to create an art that is. You can't see it. The G20. There's no faces. And this little. Little. It's too small.

[B]

I don't even see it on here.

[A]

Yeah, it's the top. It's the top. All the way at the top. Yeah. Anyway, it's the end. It's the end of Creativity, it's the end and now there's no such thing. Yes, there's, there is.

[B]

No, no. People are creative whether they like it or not.

[A]

Oh yeah. So Paul McCartney, he's, he's mad and he's done something about it. Paul McCartney has taken a firm stand against the United Kingdom's proposed artificial intelligence related copyright legislation by adding a bonus track to the vinyl edition of the protest album, Is this what We Want?

[B]

The album's original digital release consisted of.

[A]

Silent studio recordings symbolizing resistance to the unlicensed use of creative works in AI training systems. Is this what we want? Released digitally on February 2025, 2025, features.

[B]

Contributions from more than 1,000 musicians across.

[A]

Genres, including Kate Bush, Damon Albarn, Annie Lennox, Hans Zimmer and Pet Shop Boys, all collaborating on a silent recording that captures ambient noise from studios and concert halls. For the vinyl edition scheduled for December 8, 2025, McCartney contributed a 2 minute 45 second bonus track consisting of tape hiss, faint footsteps and the metallic click of a door opening, all recorded in an empty studio. According to McCartney and the organizers, the track is intended as a reminder that if AI companies exploit musicians intellectual property without compensation, the creative ecosystem will collapse and original music will be silenced. I love that AI did that report. That's no, they won't get any money. They'll be out of money. That's basically, basically that's the problem is that you, you can't, you can't build a career on it. You can't.

[B]

Yeah, well that's probably gonna, it's gonna definitely change the way things go. There are still live performances people like to go to. They like to go. Is the young people young, the youngsters, etc. They like to go to the nightclubs, they like to go hang out, they like a live band, they go to.

[A]

The club, they go to the clubs. Really? I think.

[B]

Well, they used to, to. Well, yeah, actually Brennan and Jay recently went to the Fillmore for some thing and there's a live performance or something or other.

[A]

Oh, they went to a club.

[B]

That's a club I guess.

[A]

I, I, so I.

[B]

More of a dance hall.

[A]

I was talking to the boys at Mercy Me.

[B]

Yeah, I was hanging out with the boys there at the Mercy Me. I was in the back room.

[A]

It's there in Tennessee. This is a text message. Our friend Tim Timmons was at a songwriters retreat with about 20 other RO writers. He said he was the only one there not using Suno. Everybody was using it to make demos with lyrics and melodies that they were Coming up with. So they're using it in creative ways, but of course we can do that, too. Anybody can do that, and I don't. And, you know, at this point, it's sad, but, yeah, there it is. Still nobody. This. You know, once you have a hit song, everybody can make that hit song or something like it, but it's always going to be that something just amazing that comes out. But, you know, there's no money in it anyway. You can't make money with your songs. You can only make money touring with Merch.

[B]

Merch.

[A]

So. So if we come up with a good concept, we could make some merch money.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. I'm saying gonna happen.

[A]

You have no entrepreneurial spirit anymore.

[B]

I have nothing but entrepreneurial spirit. But the problem is it's been tempered by. By extreme pragmatism, as in nothing. That's what happens as you get older. In other words, it better be a sure thing.

[A]

It's not. Well, the microphone company was a sure bet.

[B]

It still is. But right now, until this tariff thing gets strained out and I can't use the name.

[A]

Sure. Let's thank our producers. We always thank everybod50 and above who have supported us financially. It's waning for sure. So Trump, get the economy going.

[B]

Well, I want to say something about today. The spreadsheet crashed, Jason, so it's possible that there's some people are going to be left out. And I would say initially that if you, if you're, if you expected your name called today and not from checks. I'm talking about people that send in PayPal only. Yeah, if you, if you send it. Because that's what. What happened. It's a PayPal spreadsheet. We're talking about if, if you didn't get your name called out today and you gave to PayPal and it should have gone in by midnight, you know, Saturday. Send us a note with what you had, you know, your amount or whatever. We'll do a list of make goods if it's. If it's important to you.

[A]

What. What happened exactly? Did her computer crash? What happened? Yeah, yeah, Windows.

[B]

Yeah, Windows. She.

[A]

She seems like she'd be more like a Mac person.

[B]

She probably would be if she had a Mac.

[A]

Okay, so we do have some people to thank, and we always like to thank our executive and associate executive producers first. Who are they? Well, they're people who are fortunate enough to be able to Support us with $200 or more. We give you the official Hollywood title in that case of Associate Executive producer, which you can use anywhere these credits are recognized, including IMDb.com and we will read your note $300 or above. And we will give you an executive producer title and do the same with your note. And we start with Bill malloy from Daphne, Alabama. $1,913.77. What do you think that number means? Or is that something that could be the number.

[B]

That could be the show. We have to give them a show. That may be the show number. Plus fees.

[A]

Wow. It's a lot of fees. So should we just deem this to be.

[B]

That's why I tell people when they're going to donate this much money to SEN to check.

[A]

He says, may I be known as Circumspec, Knight of the Living Debt. No karma, no genius. I think.

[B]

Great pun, by the way. Yeah, that's good.

[A]

Thanks, Bill. Malloy. Malloy from Louisiana. Oh, Lower Alabama. Sorry. P.S. jCD's Louisiana Limo Driver, Tom Canaan. Do you know this guy? Maybe he's a douchebag.

[B]

Douchebag.

[A]

Thanks, Bill. And you will be knighted, my friend.

[B]

Okay, now we go to Ken Casper in New Brownfells, Texas, 45324. He sent in a check in a letter, a note, which I have before me. Thank you for all your hard work, Adam. I'm glad that you're now connected with all the true Texas patriots out there in Frederick. Fredericksburg. Matt Long, Kyle Biederman, Rick Green, etc.

[A]

Yeah, Kyle and Rick for sure.

[B]

Keep the network tight. We all need the love of Jesus Christ and the Christian connections as things crumble around us. Are they crumbling there?

[A]

No.

[B]

Maintenance, will you?

[A]

No, because we have Jesus here. So when things are not crumbling, well.

[B]

Then they wouldn't be crumbling.

[A]

It's not.

[B]

Speaking of you. Continues Speaking of connection, bringing protection, I would like to call out all Texas listeners. The Texas. Oh, here we go. The Texas Nationalist Movement is organizing county teams. If you want to help or are interested in the progress, you can check us out on the [e-mail]. that's tnm, which is Texas Nationalismovement.eme. it's the me domain. I believe that with this donation, I am over the limit to become a knight. I would like my knight name to be Sir Ken of brownfells. Oh, and you get your pen out because he's got some roundtable fare.

[A]

Hold on a second. I didn't realize this was happening. This is part of the spreadsheet. Muck up. Right. Hold on. So it's Ken. Kaspar. Kaspar. Kasper. Okay.

[B]

And Casper the Friendly Ghost.

[A]

Yes. And he will be, Sir Ken.

[B]

[B]

Yeah, it is. Only it's a Texas joke, but I get it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

EJ Sausage and shiner Church picnic stew and Shiner picnic.

[A]

I'm not familiar with the Shiner picnic stew, but I'll pass it on. And we'll make sure. We'll make sure.

[B]

Now, I should have done this at the beginning. I didn't notice it. Actually, it's at the bottom. He's got some jingle requests. Okay, this will take you a second. They're eating the dogs. Followed by Due to climate change. The Trump. They're eating the dogs due to climate change. Which is pretty funny if you can find those two clips.

[A]

Yes. They're eating the dogs. And Due to climate change. Okay. All right. That's all he had. Just those two.

[B]

Yep. That's it. They're eating the dogs due to climate change.

[A]

All right.

[B]

That's actually quite good.

[A]

That's a good one. I like it. All right, Ken, you're on the list. Sean Homan is a Noblesville in Indiana, and he has donated many times before. This is our associate executive producership for him to 1911. Ah, that's no mistake because he is from stealtharms.net, the classic 1911 platypus. He says, as we all prepare for turkey, don't forget about the platypus. Stealtharms.net thank you for your courage. Yes, sir, indeed. I love my platypus.

[B]

By the way, he did the right thing because you put in the newsletter. Here's your QR codes if you want to send bitcoin and send us an email. And he gave the email address notes at no Agenda. She I just sent in $200 in Satoshis to celebrate Planet Rage's 200th episode. That's him and Larry.

[B]

Larry, Larry.

[A]

Which will air live on the no Agenda stream, one o' clock Central tomorrow. My co host, Larry Blender and I want to thank you for being the perfect role models, which is a nice way of saying that we totally ripped off your show concept. But instead of nights, our producers are awarded entry into the cult of scum. Scumbags. We swear a lot, too. They're the future of podcasting, I should mention.

[B]

And the past.

[A]

I would also like to request a title change. I would like to be Baron Darren O of the rock and roll with the territory of Southland of Chiraq. If it pleases the committee, I think you're good to go there. Thank you for your courage. And join the Rage. Like you, we have yet to find an exit strategy. Ray John says Darren. Congratulations, boys. That's great. Have you ever listened to the Planet Rage?

[B]

Yes, a couple years ago.

[A]

You should listen to it with regularity, if only to hear them talk about us, because here's how it goes. You know, the boys were talking about this and here's what they said. We're like the authority of the show.

[B]

No, that's what we are.

[A]

What did the boys say? Adam and John over there. I'm doing Larry now. What do the boys say? The boys? Yeah, they thought this was good. So we'll. So we'll agree with them because that's how. How it goes. The future of podcasting, everybody. Planet Rage. Check them out.

[B]

And the past.

[A]

And the past. And that concludes for now because we don't know what we missed. Our executive and associate executive producers, we apologize. Due to technical difficulties, your mention may have to wait until Thursday's show, but we will of course pick it all up. And if you feel that you got Missed. Send a Note to notes noagendashow.net and we look forward to thanking the rest of our supporters. $50 and above in our second segment. Thank you so much for supporting. Value for Value is how it works. Go to noagendadonations.com support us if you want to. You can even set up a recurring donation. Any amount, any frequency. That's how it works. Value for value. Whatever you get out of the show, send it back to us. The amount is up to you. No Agenda donation.

[B]

Whoops.

[A]

No Agenda donation Dot com. Sorry about that. Thank you, everybody.

[B]

Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order due to climate change. Oh, good Lord.

[A]

Okay, I got a noise maker too. So we have a cop 30 wrapped up. We should call it flop 30 because once again, for the 30th time, nobody's happy. Nobody got anything that they wanted.

[B]

And you should note that they had a huge fire when some lithium battery batteries caught on fire in the middle of the whole thing.

[A]

It's not in. I looked for a report that said lithium batteries, they. They kind of changed that to a microwave oven.

[B]

Mm.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. The COP30 summit limps to the finish line with a climate agree that fails to include countries biggest collective demands.

[B]

Unsatisfied with the approved deal, states like Colombia, Panama, Uruguay and Canada voiced their concerns, forcing the COP president to pause the closing plenary. A disappointment shared by NGOs who highlighted the missing roadmap to phase out fossil.

[A]

Fuels, a commitment that over 190 countries had agreed to.

[B]

And at COP28 in Dubai, Petro states like Russia and Saudi Arabia opposed the transition from oil, coal and gas. The COP President said he would pursue.

[A]

The roadmap as a separate initiative outside of the approved climate agreement. I, as president of COP30, will therefore create two roadmaps. One on halting and reverting deforestation, another.

[B]

To transitioning away from fossil fuels in.

[A]

A just, orderly manner.

[B]

Among the progress made was tripling financial.

[A]

Aid for adapting to climate change to.

[B]

$120 billion per year by 2035.

[A]

Good news for some developing countries for whom climate finance is more of a priority. Yes, suck it, suckers. You're not getting any money. No one's going to pay.

[B]

Pay.

[A]

That's all they're there for. And apparently there were more oil and gas lobbyists than ever before at any COP30. But of course they were.

[B]

Well, there's never been a cop 30.

[A]

Before cop 30 anything. This was cop 30.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There were some batteries burning, but that was closer to home. That was in the Port of Los Angeles. A thick white and gray smoke swirled.

[B]

From the container ship one Henry Hudson.

[A]

More than 100 firefighters worked from fireboats and the shore to douse the flames after it erupted at the Port of Los Angeles Friday night. The unknown chemicals in there, the unknown cargo.

[B]

So we really.

[A]

We took a defensive posture. So we were spraying this from the water and from the land.

[B]

All 23 crew members made it out safely. Around 100 cargo containers burned, many loaded with dangerous materials, including lithium batteries, creating a dangerous air quality situation for both.

[A]

The public and firefighters. We did not know what was in that smoke. We knew that there was some toxicity in there, especially very close to the ship. This morning, tugboats pulled the ship out.

[B]

Of the port and into Santa Monica Bay to continue containment efforts, allowing the.

[A]

Fire department to lift a shelter in place. Place order.

[B]

Now crews are racing to control the fire and track any dangerous contamination from those containers.

[A]

We know what's in every single container.

[B]

But it's determining exactly which ones had caught on fire.

[A]

Those batteries are just not a good idea.

[B]

Well, they're a real. They're a good idea except for the one single point of failure. If they catch on fire, you can't put them out.

[A]

They explode. It's not no good.

[B]

I mean, if they didn't do that.

[A]

Yeah, that would be bad.

[B]

That would be great.

[A]

Yes. I'm looking.

[B]

They even. They even package them, like, a little separately. You know, that way they're set up. There's all. Everyone can't make a battery bigger than a double A. You know, you just stack them all together. So it's actually a bunch of double A's. But it doesn't matter. If one of the double A's goes up. They all go up.

[A]

They all go.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I'm looking at you, but you. You got clips left over.

[B]

Besides, I have plenty of clips.

[A]

Cavalcade of TikTok.

[B]

No, I'm gonna say we're. We got. I'm pushing those off. That's good. Here's a couple of interesting clips. This is the underreported. I don't know why the media. You know, Taibbi was moaning earlier that you had the clip. Moaning. Why? The media? They don't cover anything.

[A]

Can I ask you a. A question before you continue with this? Just. Just because you triggered that with. With Matt Taibbi. So we've seen all these women who are victims standing behind Marjorie Taylor Greene out on. On the Capitol steps, Right? You saw that. You saw the video, you saw the pictures?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Why Have I never seen a single interview with any of these women? Why does.

[B]

Tell me.

[A]

Well, I'm asking you. Why does no one.

[B]

Because the media is screwed up. They don't have a good at the editor level. They're not making these assignments.

[A]

It just makes no sense. Isn't that the story of the century? Why wouldn't you want to hear some salacious details? Are they under some kind of gag order? Can they not speak?

[B]

Well, now, if that's possible.

[A]

But are they all intelligence assets?

[B]

If any of this was true, don't you think that should be reported?

[A]

Yes, minimally. Would love to know. I find it, yeah.

[B]

They don't.

[A]

It's. It's unusual.

[B]

It's what Taibi said. Here's underreported news that I have. This is the Jordan versus Jack Smith stuff. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan is asking major banks to release documents about financial records they may have released to former special counsel Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department. This comes after Jordan found out that a wireless company had turned over his personal phone records. NTD's Arlan Richards has more.

[A]

Republican Congressman Jim Jordan wants answers from several financial institutions.

[B]

On Friday, Jordan sent letters to more than a dozen banks demanding communications and requests for customer financial data related to former special counsel Jack Smith's investigations. Smith was appointed by then President Biden to investigate President Trump for alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020.

[A]

Election, including the events of Jackson, January.

[B]

6, 2021, and for allegedly withholding classified documents. The request for released financial records comes after recent disclosures indicate that Smith's team.

[A]

Secretly sought phone records from several GOP senators.

[B]

Jordan has now learned that his own personal phone data was also released. In a press release on Thursday, the.

[A]

House Judiciary Committee reported that a request.

[B]

For communications and data documents between Verizon Wireless and the Biden Justice Department revealed that Jordan's records were involved. Well, it's interesting. It's part of this Arctic frost investigation. But they went all the way back to January of 2020. I mean, that was a year before January 6th. That was a year before the election, for goodness sake. But this was for two and a half years. Every call you make, who you call, who calls you, how long the call lasts, where you're at, when you make the call, for two and a half years.

[A]

Wow. Now does con. Who subpoenaed them? That was Jack, the special prosecutor. He has. Jack Smith has that kind of power?

[B]

I guess he did. Wow. This is another one of those stories that. Going back to the Taibi commentary.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Why isn't this, like, top of the fold on every newspaper? Discussing this is all part of the Arctic frost thing. This is beyond it. This is out of control. And no major news operation is reporting any of this. This particular. That's why I get this. That's why we have to listen to NTD to find this stuff out.

[A]

So you're contradicting yourself. There is an outlet reporting this.

[B]

It's not major. NTD is, to me, a fringe.

[A]

It's very fringe.

[B]

So let's go to part two.

[A]

Jordan says he wants to know who authors authorized it.

[B]

And I want to know if Garland signed off on this. I want to know if Chris Wray signed off on this. Lisa Monaco, how did this happen?

[A]

The committee chairman has already been looking into Smith's Trump investigations. Now he's probing whether the Biden, Justice Department and Smith use financial subpoenas to conduct surveillance on Trump associates, GOP lawmakers, and even Jordan himself. Well, that would irk me. Yeah, that'd be very.

[B]

And of course, again, nobody's covering any of it.

[A]

Hmm.

[B]

So we have here in California, we have two people running for governor that just threw their hats in the ring. And I have two questions.

[A]

Didn't the, the Chinese. Swalwell. Didn't he. The Chinese swallow.

[B]

Well, his running. Yes, he's, he's. I got a clip here. Is Swalwell running? Representative Eric Swalwell is officially jumping into California's 2026 governor's race, declaring his run during a late night TV appearance. He says he wants to be a protector for the state, focusing on issues like housing and affordability entities. Christina Corona tells us more. Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell made a surprise.

[A]

Announcement on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, declaring he's running for California governor in 2026. This great state needs a fighter and a protector, someone who will bring prices down, lift wages up. I came here tonight, Jimmy, to tell you and your audience that I'm running to be the next governor of California.

[B]

His announcement adds another contender.

[A]

Hoping to succeed Governor Gavin Newsom when his term ends next year.

[B]

Swalwell is highlighting his national security experience and work on President Trump's first impeachment.

[A]

No one will keep Californians safer than I will. No one. Nancy Pelosi selected me for the Intelligence Committee and to help lead the impeachment of a president. Californians will never bend the knee. Swalwell says he wants to reshape California's economy, saying the state should be a place where families can afford to work, live and buy a home. California is the fourth largest economy in the world. So should we be a state where you can take your first job, have your first kid and buy your first home in the same decade? And one where you can fill that home with food and flood it with light. California dust. Just dumb enough to elect him.

[B]

Yeah, they elected. He used. He started off as the one of the city council members of Danville and he turned out to help wreck the city because he's just an idiot. I mean, he's dumb and he looks dumb and he sounds dumb and now he's just copying Mandami talking points.

[A]

Oh, that's what he's doing.

[B]

Of course.

[A]

That makes sense.

[B]

You notice that?

[A]

Yeah, that makes sense.

[B]

But here's the other guy running and this got less attention, but this guy. And this guy's probably a lunatic. This is Tom Steyer.

[A]

Wait, the billionaire Tom Steyer?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Didn't he try to run for president already?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

All right. California will have a gubernatorial election next year, and a billionaire has entered the race. Philanthropist and businessman Tom Steyer made the announcement on Wednesday.

[B]

I'm Tom Steyer. I wanted to build a business here. Now it's worth billions of dollars and I want walked away from it because I wanted to give back to California.

[A]

In 1986, Steyer founded Farallon Capital Management, a hedge fund in San Francisco. He ran for president in 2019. The Democratic Climate activist joins the California race to replace Gavin Newsom as his term ends next year. The 68 year old says he promises to make companies pay their fair share.

[B]

And use that money to fund public.

[A]

Public schools, build homes that families can afford, and lower electric bills by 25% by ending utility monopolies. He also wants to ban corporate political action committee money from state elections. According to Steyer's campaign, he took on the tobacco industry to raise the cigarette tax.

[B]

Yeah, I'm saying we have a broken government. It's been bought by corporations. And my question is, who do you.

[A]

Think is going to change that?

[B]

Sacramento politicians are afraid to change up this system. I'm not. They're going to hate this.

[A]

He also led a campaign to impeach President Trump during his first term. That's where. Prominent Democratic candidates in California's race include Congresswoman Katie Porter, Javier Becerra, and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaragosa. Republican candidates include Chad Bianco and former Fox News host Steve Steve Hilton. California voters will vote for a new governor in November 2026. A cavalcade of losers.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Dynamite.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

Dynamite. Wow.

[B]

It's gonna be whatever it does you can't get it.

[A]

You can still get out. You can still get out.

[B]

Why? It's fun. No, you say besides that I can report from here. You can't.

[A]

Thank God. I mean that's the best part about our show is that I'm in Texas. Have a totally different positive view on. On life.

[B]

Positive view. All the stories you tell me, they're going to grid's going to go down. One thing after another. What are you talking about, by the way?

[A]

I've resisted it for a long time. I think you and I might have to get into meshtastic.

[B]

What?

[A]

Meshtastic.

[B]

What's meshtastic?

[A]

Oh, okay. Well, I'll send you some links. Meshtastic is. It's a 900.

[B]

It's not some sort of a sex cult, is it? I'm not, I'm not.

[A]

No, no, that's Nexium. No, this is mesh. Meshtastic. Wow.

[B]

Sounds like. If you think about it.

[A]

Sounds like a sex cult if you think about it. No mesh. So we're hams. We're ham radio operators. Although how much have we operated lately? We still, we, we have all kinds of gear.

[B]

We're licensed.

[A]

We're licensed. Let's put it that way. I'm a general. Just want to say general. You're technician. But meshtastic is, I think it's 900 MHz mesh networking. And this has been going on for years and it's starting to get to the point where there's so many of these meshtastic devices and repeaters around that we could actually build our own little no agenda mesh network network group, which I think would be something fun and worth trying. Are you in?

[B]

Is it you have to be licensed.

[A]

No, no, no, it's.

[B]

So we're Talking about the 2025 version of CB radio is what you're saying?

[A]

Not really. It's lora. So it's low powered radio networks. You actually connect your phone to it.

[B]

I know CB is low powered, I should mention.

[A]

Yeah, but it's all digital so you can actually and send stuff with a, with a, like a mobile device. You have one and would give you a reason to pull that thing out of the drawer from time to time. And so you can, you can connect with people and you know, digitally.

[B]

When you say that thing you're talking about my, my ham rig.

[A]

Your phone in the drawer. Your phone.

[B]

So this is a phone thing?

[A]

Well, it's, it's a digital network. It's, it's, you know, remember back in the day? Well, we Got can remember.

[B]

Go on, go on. Go ahead. I wish I had that phrase that Carrie uses down. I can't remember how it goes.

[A]

You know what you do is here's how you should have done it. Member? But go ahead.

[B]

That's how yeah. Okay. I guess that would work.

[A]

Yes. Do you.

[B]

No, I blew it. I totally blew it. I love that because I've watched her do this and you pointed it out. I never noticed it. She just does it incessantly.

[A]

Yes. So you don't need your phone. You can connect. You can connect to your computer. You can get devices just have a little key keyboard on it. The whole point is it's encrypted if you want it to be and it's meshed. So you're not using any kind of infrastructure that anyone else owns.

[B]

This, this is something I can see you being being into.

[A]

Yes, I, I, they have this. Yes.

[B]

Kind of the an offshoot of the Fediverse which is under your. Yeah, well I'm all major ideas.

[A]

So before you know it it'll be a bunch of Jew haters on this thing. So let's get into it, John. Come on. Let's get into it, baby.

[B]

That's exactly right. Donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.

[A]

Oh yeah, that'd be fun.

[B]

We do have a few people to thank. Very few, actually. This is ridiculously small list that Adam will take us through.

[A]

Yes. And we start off with Dame rita from Sparks, Nevada. 133.33. And I always have to kind of read her note because it's Dame Rita after all. She says ITM John. Adam, you're the best.

[B]

Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days. You wanna be where you won't be.

[A]

Triggered on Hell, you wanna be where.

[B]

Everybody feels the same. It's like a party.

[A]

Noagendameetups.com we still have John's tip of the day coming. We've got a cavalcade of slop in the. And not all AI, by the way, in our end of show mixes. But first, to complete how the sausage is made, we like to let you be a part of our process here as we pick our end of show ISO. I only have one and it's not a good one. So why don't you do your two first?

[B]

No, do yours and I can follow up. Pull the plug.

[A]

Told you.

[B]

My God.

[A]

Told you. Well, let me guess.

[B]

It's actually. It would be good for something.

[A]

Let me guess. You have some 11 labs isos.

[B]

Well, here's what's funny. This time I've been moaning and groaning, somebody saying, I don't see why you don't pay for it. You're always asking for money. You should be buying this. I said no. They have a free version and I don't use it. But a total of 10 seconds a week worth of use. So I'm not paying 70 bucks a month or whatever. You pay. And he's. But Adam has a copy, but. So I know I'm not buying it unless I'm starting to use it more. Seriously, this is 10 seconds. So I'm not paying 70 bucks for 10 seconds.

[A]

I think there's a cheaper tier, like $29.

[B]

Oh, that's still too much.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, you are.

[B]

They have a free thing, which is I use. But it's something that they.

[A]

But they limit you because you're overusing your freeness.

[B]

Oh, yeah. All of 30 seconds a month.

[A]

Yeah, that's how it goes, baby. This stuff ain't.

[B]

So all of a sudden, I get spuds Oakley comes back, somehow it gets back on my list, so I got to use him again.

[A]

Oh, you did? Okay, that's good.

[B]

And so I have two clips with him. One is winner, by golly.

[A]

Another winner. Yeah, that's pretty good. I like that one.

[B]

And the other one's better. This show is better than sex.

[A]

No, we're doing the Better than sex. But first, before we do anything, it's time for John's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me.

[B]

Just the tip with JCD and sometimes Adam. This was suggested by one of our producers and I thought it was a great idea. He said, well, I don't know, you know, the guy's always on Leo's show. Maybe you don't want to play the Steve Gibson product.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

From GRC. People should go there. GRC. But this is a thing called InControl. This is grc.comincontrol.htm A man after my own heart.

[A]

How long has this product been around? Since the mid-90s. Yeah.

[B]

So this allows you to turn. To really turn off your upgrades.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

So it shows you. If you look at. If you go to the site.

[A]

You mean your Windows upgrades is what you're talking about.

[B]

This is for Windows users. You Mac guys are out of luck. So it's Linux that doesn't need this stuff. But yeah, you turn it off permanently so it doesn't keep pestering you. And it doesn't. And it's. And it seems to work. It keeps. It'll keep. My thing. My thing's ludicrous because it tries to upgrade and then it says I can't anyway, but it wastes time and money and it's going to screw it up one of these days. So I would take a look at In Control. And the funny thing is in the process, we're looking for this. He had another product which is. I'm not the tip of the day, but one I should mention. And it's called. This is a really good one. This one's called Never 10. And this is GRC.com never10 number 10 numerical10.htm again. And this allows. If you're running an old Windows 8 or 7 or something like that, who's running that? Well, I'm sure there's somebody out there because. And if they. They already know about this, I'm sure because this basically kills any attempt to try to install Windows 10 on a Windows 7 or an 8.1 system that. That keeps demanding to be upgraded may be too late for most people because it's already been done. The damage has been done. But I thought this was a funny idea for a product too. They should have a. He should do never 11. Because all these systems. Oh, you got to move it up. Here's what bugs me about 11. I've said this before, like this one, Nuck, I have. When 11 first showed up, I said, well, you know, you have. See if you can, you can use it because they have to have this, some software on there or some hardware or chip or something that allows you to do some sort of security. And so you run it on an old system that's running Windows 10. It says, no, you can't upgrade. Don't worry about it. You can't upgrade because you don't have the whatever chip it is or whatever system you got. Subsystem.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So all of a sudden now everybody's got to upgrade to 11 system. So the whole thing was bogus. Lies. These are lies.

[A]

They're just lying, baby. Another dynamite tip of the day from the guy who doesn't want to pay for my services. Go to tip of the day.net.

[B]

And sometimes Adam created by Dana Burnetti.

[A]

Yeah, I'm gonna start using that guy. That's Todd version three model. I'm gonna start using him. So I'm just, you know, I don't have to talk.

[B]

Good voice.

[A]

Yeah. So I won't have to talk that much.

[B]

That'll be the day.

[A]
