1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,960
The woman has three arms.

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,020
Adam Curry, John C.

3
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,460
Devorah.

4
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,000
It's Thursday, January 1st, 2026.

5
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:08,480
This is your award-winning Give Our Nation

6
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,940
Media Assassination Episode 1830.

7
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,800
This is no agenda.

8
00:00:14,020 --> 00:00:18,100
Starting four more years and broadcasting live from

9
00:00:18,100 --> 00:00:19,840
the heart of the Texas Hill Country here

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,100
in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning,

11
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:22,640
everybody.

12
00:00:22,980 --> 00:00:23,720
I'm Adam Curry.

13
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,940
And from Northern Silicon Valley, we congratulate New

14
00:00:26,940 --> 00:00:28,500
York City on having a new mayor.

15
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:29,180
I'm John C.

16
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:29,540
Devorah.

17
00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:41,730
2026, whoo!

18
00:00:42,170 --> 00:00:43,610
It's awesome, awesome!

19
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:50,600
Is it just me, or was this one

20
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,640
of the quietest transitions we've ever had?

21
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,860
And with that, I mean, I got very

22
00:00:57,860 --> 00:01:00,600
few texts this year.

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,720
I got one.

24
00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:07,780
Fireworks seemed a lot, a lot more muted.

25
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:08,840
Oh, we were rained out.

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,480
We had, it was raining here.

27
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:11,700
It's raining as we speak.

28
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:12,160
Yeah.

29
00:01:12,340 --> 00:01:13,960
Which is the first time I can ever

30
00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:16,380
remember it raining on January 1st in the

31
00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:16,900
Bay Area.

32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,680
And so it's raining.

33
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:19,060
So there's the fireworks there.

34
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Yeah, they had them.

35
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,740
You could hear booms, but there was no,

36
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,020
you couldn't see anything.

37
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,140
No, it was here in Fredericksburg, Texas, very,

38
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,060
very muted.

39
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,080
Not a lot of people shooting stuff off.

40
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:37,000
Television was extraordinarily boring this year.

41
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,420
Like the same old dumb stuff they do.

42
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,340
No one has any new ideas for what

43
00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:46,300
to do on New Year's on television.

44
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,020
It seemed like the most exciting thing was

45
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:53,800
on X, people saying, hey, Grok, put a

46
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,660
bikini on her.

47
00:01:57,150 --> 00:01:58,630
I missed that one.

48
00:01:58,630 --> 00:01:59,450
Oh, goodness.

49
00:01:59,590 --> 00:02:00,510
You haven't seen that?

50
00:02:01,050 --> 00:02:01,330
No.

51
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:03,530
Oh, that's because...

52
00:02:03,530 --> 00:02:04,950
You haven't seen Fat JD.

53
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:09,850
No, so there's this thing now is you

54
00:02:09,850 --> 00:02:12,390
post, if someone posts a picture of themself,

55
00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:15,490
a woman, and then you do at Grok,

56
00:02:15,570 --> 00:02:16,770
put a bikini on her.

57
00:02:17,190 --> 00:02:19,250
And then the next picture is that same

58
00:02:19,250 --> 00:02:20,350
woman with the bikini.

59
00:02:21,070 --> 00:02:22,650
Oh, that's a great feature.

60
00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:24,770
It just goes on and on.

61
00:02:25,230 --> 00:02:26,750
You don't have to do it in your

62
00:02:26,750 --> 00:02:27,890
own brain anymore.

63
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:29,870
Too lazy.

64
00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:33,890
But then they're putting bikinis on dogs.

65
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:38,550
Hey, Grok, show me the war criminal.

66
00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:42,030
There's Netanyahu, all of this stuff.

67
00:02:42,790 --> 00:02:45,290
It's well worth the $1.3 trillion.

68
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:47,170
I think it's perfect.

69
00:02:47,450 --> 00:02:48,370
We're being entertained.

70
00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:50,970
Back to your thesis about things being slow,

71
00:02:51,090 --> 00:02:55,530
I have to say, this morning, they were

72
00:02:55,530 --> 00:02:56,510
doing it.

73
00:02:56,530 --> 00:02:58,810
They have this question and answer thing on

74
00:02:58,810 --> 00:02:59,990
one of the news stations.

75
00:03:00,170 --> 00:03:01,730
And they were going, they had all these

76
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:05,130
guys around the round table saying, are New

77
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:06,430
Year's parties over?

78
00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:08,270
I think so.

79
00:03:08,890 --> 00:03:10,670
And they were all, and everyone was saying,

80
00:03:10,830 --> 00:03:12,550
yeah, well, you know, you don't have them

81
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:13,650
all the time.

82
00:03:13,810 --> 00:03:15,690
And then they said, and then they had,

83
00:03:15,810 --> 00:03:16,870
they brought up the question.

84
00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:19,870
What about kissing at New Year's?

85
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:20,970
Oh, I don't know.

86
00:03:21,190 --> 00:03:22,990
It doesn't seem that important to me.

87
00:03:23,130 --> 00:03:23,890
What's the point?

88
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:26,070
Dude, we were in bed at 1030.

89
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:30,190
I got a show tomorrow.

90
00:03:30,270 --> 00:03:31,670
I had time for this nonsense.

91
00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:32,950
I'll kiss you now.

92
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:33,530
Good night, baby.

93
00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:34,830
I got to get up early.

94
00:03:35,710 --> 00:03:36,110
Yeah.

95
00:03:36,110 --> 00:03:39,530
You know, I think the last real good

96
00:03:39,530 --> 00:03:41,750
New Year's Eve party I attended, well, there

97
00:03:41,750 --> 00:03:42,110
were two.

98
00:03:42,850 --> 00:03:45,110
1987, I was just new at MTV.

99
00:03:45,710 --> 00:03:47,810
And they said, hey, you're going to do

100
00:03:47,810 --> 00:03:48,870
our live coverage.

101
00:03:48,990 --> 00:03:50,210
I'm like, oh, that sounds cool.

102
00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:52,970
And so they put me in my three

103
00:03:52,970 --> 00:03:56,630
foot hair, literally on Times Square with one

104
00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:57,370
bodyguard.

105
00:03:57,990 --> 00:04:00,250
And the camera was up on one time

106
00:04:00,250 --> 00:04:00,570
guard.

107
00:04:00,890 --> 00:04:01,190
Oh, yeah.

108
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:05,030
Well, there were, I mean, in 87, 86,

109
00:04:05,450 --> 00:04:06,730
87, 87, I'm not sure.

110
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:10,990
It wasn't, you know, they weren't running around

111
00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:12,710
like, oh, ISIS might be getting you.

112
00:04:13,250 --> 00:04:16,010
No, people just showed up and they were

113
00:04:16,010 --> 00:04:17,630
hanging out and there weren't, you know, it

114
00:04:17,630 --> 00:04:18,910
was a big black dude.

115
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:20,730
It was a white dude.

116
00:04:21,430 --> 00:04:22,090
White dude.

117
00:04:22,170 --> 00:04:24,310
But he had a big black gun, if

118
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:24,830
that helped.

119
00:04:25,670 --> 00:04:27,770
And, you know, and so I had the

120
00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:30,370
camera up on one time square and you

121
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:31,310
couldn't really hear anything.

122
00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:32,430
But that was one.

123
00:04:32,430 --> 00:04:34,350
But the real New Year's Eve party, I

124
00:04:34,350 --> 00:04:35,410
think was 1990.

125
00:04:36,070 --> 00:04:36,830
No, 89.

126
00:04:37,070 --> 00:04:37,430
I'm sorry.

127
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:39,670
And it was.

128
00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:41,890
You didn't have a year 2000 party.

129
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:43,210
That's the big one, 99.

130
00:04:44,710 --> 00:04:47,270
I was, I was in, I was back

131
00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:50,590
in Holland for that New Year's, which was

132
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:54,290
insane because the Dutch, they just love their

133
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:54,870
fireworks.

134
00:04:55,650 --> 00:04:58,110
They even though it's outlawed in Amsterdam, they

135
00:04:58,110 --> 00:04:59,450
everyone loves their fireworks.

136
00:04:59,450 --> 00:05:05,050
There's videos online of entire streets with burnt

137
00:05:05,050 --> 00:05:05,970
out cars.

138
00:05:06,650 --> 00:05:07,710
I'm not kidding.

139
00:05:07,970 --> 00:05:09,290
And of course this happened.

140
00:05:09,590 --> 00:05:11,750
A blaze so great, there was no saving

141
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:12,550
the church tower.

142
00:05:13,250 --> 00:05:15,250
In the middle of the night, as Amsterdam's

143
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:17,710
residents were ringing in the new year, a

144
00:05:17,710 --> 00:05:21,010
major fire broke out in the historic Vondelkerk

145
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:21,310
church.

146
00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:24,510
Firefighters tried to save the over 150 year

147
00:05:24,510 --> 00:05:26,570
old structure, but they could not enter.

148
00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:28,870
The risk that the church would collapse was

149
00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:29,650
too great.

150
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:32,810
As they danced it with water from hoses,

151
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:35,570
authorities closed down the streets around the central

152
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:36,610
Amsterdam monument.

153
00:05:37,410 --> 00:05:39,710
And local media said that nearby homes were

154
00:05:39,710 --> 00:05:41,790
evacuated because of the burning debris.

155
00:05:42,670 --> 00:05:45,010
An alert was issued about heavy smoke and

156
00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:47,050
officials declared a regional emergency.

157
00:05:49,410 --> 00:05:51,150
It really is horrific.

158
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:53,110
I've just been watching.

159
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:53,770
This is the mayor.

160
00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:55,130
It's the mayor of Amsterdam.

161
00:05:55,230 --> 00:05:56,430
Almost violently large.

162
00:05:57,050 --> 00:05:59,610
The church is very close to many houses.

163
00:06:00,770 --> 00:06:02,810
So apart from the loss of a magnificent

164
00:06:02,810 --> 00:06:06,250
monument, for all people living nearby, it's really

165
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:06,810
scary.

166
00:06:08,710 --> 00:06:11,130
Built in 1872, the church is in the

167
00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:13,430
center of Amsterdam and just a short walk

168
00:06:13,430 --> 00:06:14,950
from the popular Van Gogh museum.

169
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:17,550
The cause of the fire is still unknown.

170
00:06:18,350 --> 00:06:20,750
As investigators looking for whether the used fireworks

171
00:06:20,750 --> 00:06:22,370
were involved or not.

172
00:06:22,490 --> 00:06:22,950
Or not.

173
00:06:23,130 --> 00:06:24,070
Fireworks or not.

174
00:06:24,610 --> 00:06:24,990
This is a travesty.

175
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:26,050
Yeah, they're obviously involved.

176
00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:28,110
This is a travesty though.

177
00:06:28,210 --> 00:06:30,590
This church, man, it's a beautiful church.

178
00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:31,870
It's completely destroyed.

179
00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:33,370
Was, yes.

180
00:06:33,510 --> 00:06:35,310
It looked a lot like the Notre Dame

181
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:38,730
fire, where the whole, you know, the steeple,

182
00:06:38,850 --> 00:06:40,770
everything, the spire, I think you call it,

183
00:06:41,310 --> 00:06:42,550
completely on fire.

184
00:06:42,690 --> 00:06:44,050
And then the roof collapsing.

185
00:06:44,170 --> 00:06:44,950
It looks bad.

186
00:06:45,750 --> 00:06:48,170
But I think that's very typical of Holland.

187
00:06:48,410 --> 00:06:51,330
You know, everyone's just so, what's the word

188
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:51,910
I'm looking for?

189
00:06:51,950 --> 00:06:54,250
Not depressed, but they're just apathetic.

190
00:06:54,510 --> 00:06:55,350
They're like, they don't care.

191
00:06:55,350 --> 00:06:56,730
Like, eh, life sucks.

192
00:06:56,890 --> 00:06:57,450
This is it.

193
00:06:57,590 --> 00:06:58,630
Russia's going to kill us.

194
00:06:58,970 --> 00:06:59,250
Whatever.

195
00:06:59,890 --> 00:07:00,590
We give up.

196
00:07:01,430 --> 00:07:02,770
And I think that's also- Let's take

197
00:07:02,770 --> 00:07:03,330
our bikes.

198
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,990
Hey, Vladimir, take my bike.

199
00:07:07,630 --> 00:07:09,570
Yeah, and I think that's kind of what's

200
00:07:09,570 --> 00:07:13,410
happening with Gen Z in the Zummerwaffen.

201
00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:15,450
I have a feeling that they're also like,

202
00:07:15,570 --> 00:07:17,810
eh, you know, everything sucks.

203
00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:19,090
It's no good.

204
00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:20,110
Who cares?

205
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:23,050
Gen Zs are in, out in force, not

206
00:07:23,050 --> 00:07:23,550
being covered.

207
00:07:23,630 --> 00:07:24,450
I have no clips.

208
00:07:24,450 --> 00:07:25,650
I don't know what to do about it

209
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:27,770
because of the lack of clips in Iran.

210
00:07:28,150 --> 00:07:29,990
Now, interesting you bring that up.

211
00:07:30,590 --> 00:07:32,610
So, of course, we see what's happening in

212
00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:32,970
Iran.

213
00:07:33,610 --> 00:07:34,830
And I can play it.

214
00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:36,050
But no, we don't see what's happening.

215
00:07:36,150 --> 00:07:37,330
You should tell people what's happening.

216
00:07:37,490 --> 00:07:40,070
It's just, it's not being talked about or

217
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:40,710
discovered.

218
00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:43,710
I mean, there's a few bloggers covering it.

219
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:45,010
I do have a, let's see.

220
00:07:45,170 --> 00:07:46,790
I have a- Yes, oh, good.

221
00:07:46,930 --> 00:07:48,010
Yeah, I got a couple of clips.

222
00:07:48,490 --> 00:07:51,290
So I'll tell you upfront, right away, I'm

223
00:07:51,290 --> 00:07:53,150
like, oh, it's kicking off in Iran.

224
00:07:53,150 --> 00:07:54,930
So I go to YouTube and I look

225
00:07:54,930 --> 00:07:57,850
for Iran Gen Z.

226
00:07:58,810 --> 00:08:04,470
And there's hundreds, hundreds of videos in Farsi.

227
00:08:04,930 --> 00:08:06,530
And they all go like this.

228
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:09,410
Iran Gen Z protest live update.

229
00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:14,870
Farsi, Farsi, Gen Z, Farsi, Farsi, Khamenei, Farsi,

230
00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:17,950
Farsi, Tehran university protest.

231
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:21,810
And they're all from, you know, like these

232
00:08:21,810 --> 00:08:25,870
outfits, like, let me see, News Nation, but

233
00:08:25,870 --> 00:08:27,350
it's not the News Nation you think it

234
00:08:27,350 --> 00:08:27,610
is.

235
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:30,750
I think they're pretty much all AI generated.

236
00:08:30,890 --> 00:08:34,289
It seems to me that whatever is happening,

237
00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:38,990
and I do have an interesting clip where

238
00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:39,970
that's brought up.

239
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:44,950
It seems like the Gen Z opp is

240
00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:47,530
trying to take credit for it or try

241
00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:48,570
and move that in.

242
00:08:48,930 --> 00:08:50,530
Hey, it's the Gen Zs that are doing

243
00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:50,870
this.

244
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:54,330
But it's not working because there's just, it's

245
00:08:54,330 --> 00:08:56,050
not being reported that way.

246
00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:59,350
Here's, let me see, what is this one?

247
00:08:59,550 --> 00:09:01,570
In the alleyways of Tehran's Grand Bazaar.

248
00:09:01,610 --> 00:09:03,430
Oh yeah, this is one thing I found.

249
00:09:03,670 --> 00:09:06,750
In the alleyways of Tehran's Grand Bazaar, chants

250
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:09,690
of don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we're

251
00:09:09,690 --> 00:09:10,350
all together.

252
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:12,650
And they're not afraid.

253
00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:15,210
For four days in a row, Iranians have

254
00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:15,850
taken to the streets.

255
00:09:15,850 --> 00:09:17,570
Oh no, this thing is full of Nat

256
00:09:17,570 --> 00:09:17,930
Pops.

257
00:09:18,090 --> 00:09:20,810
Streets, some clash with the riot police.

258
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:24,190
Anger sparked by an economy in turmoil and

259
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:25,590
soaring living costs.

260
00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:27,790
I should actually point out that the only

261
00:09:27,790 --> 00:09:30,490
clips I could get were from British outfits,

262
00:09:31,270 --> 00:09:32,630
including BBC.

263
00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:33,850
This is from Channel 4.

264
00:09:34,090 --> 00:09:36,730
In the last year, Iran's currency has lost

265
00:09:36,730 --> 00:09:39,030
nearly half of its value against the US

266
00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:39,370
dollar.

267
00:09:39,810 --> 00:09:42,630
Inflation has seen food prices rise by 72%.

268
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:46,770
According to one Tehran resident, whose identity we

269
00:09:46,770 --> 00:09:50,590
are protecting, everyday items are becoming unaffordable.

270
00:09:50,590 --> 00:09:52,870
Families who once belonged to the middle class

271
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:54,670
are now worried about paying their rent.

272
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,710
In the past, people worried about affording meat

273
00:09:57,710 --> 00:09:58,190
and fruit.

274
00:09:59,050 --> 00:10:01,150
Now they are struggling to buy basic items

275
00:10:01,150 --> 00:10:02,230
like rice and eggs.

276
00:10:03,150 --> 00:10:05,210
In my view, people are truly exhausted.

277
00:10:05,930 --> 00:10:07,230
They've reached their breaking point.

278
00:10:07,790 --> 00:10:09,810
They no longer want this regime and are

279
00:10:09,810 --> 00:10:10,890
demanding change.

280
00:10:11,190 --> 00:10:14,310
The protests soon spread outside the capital with

281
00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:17,590
similar scenes taking place in Isfahan, Shiraz in

282
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:19,690
the south and Mashhad in the northeast.

283
00:10:19,690 --> 00:10:21,950
In the city of Farsa, a group of

284
00:10:21,950 --> 00:10:23,970
people are seen trying to break into a

285
00:10:23,970 --> 00:10:24,630
government building.

286
00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:27,470
And no major crackdown from the government yet.

287
00:10:27,690 --> 00:10:30,690
Iran's leaders avoiding the heavy police response seen

288
00:10:30,690 --> 00:10:31,870
in previous protests.

289
00:10:32,270 --> 00:10:35,290
Instead, saying they're open to dialogue, offering to

290
00:10:35,290 --> 00:10:37,030
listen to the demands of protesters.

291
00:10:37,550 --> 00:10:40,230
The government will listen patiently, even if there

292
00:10:40,230 --> 00:10:42,650
are harsh voices, because we believe that our

293
00:10:42,650 --> 00:10:44,110
people are patient enough.

294
00:10:44,370 --> 00:10:46,350
The government's job is to hear the voices

295
00:10:46,350 --> 00:10:48,750
and help them reach a common understanding to

296
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:51,330
solve the problems that exist in society.

297
00:10:51,610 --> 00:10:53,690
There's no calm outside universities.

298
00:10:54,190 --> 00:10:55,970
Students are now joining the demonstrations.

299
00:10:56,510 --> 00:10:58,990
So students are joining the demonstrations.

300
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:01,590
I just don't think it's our classic Gen

301
00:11:01,590 --> 00:11:02,790
Z psy-op.

302
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:04,650
But what was interesting, the second part of

303
00:11:04,650 --> 00:11:05,190
this report.

304
00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:08,510
Well, by the way, which may be confirmed

305
00:11:08,510 --> 00:11:09,770
by the fact that it's not getting any

306
00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:10,530
coverage whatsoever.

307
00:11:11,070 --> 00:11:11,490
Correct.

308
00:11:11,770 --> 00:11:15,670
Here is the Middle East director of Chatham

309
00:11:15,670 --> 00:11:17,550
House, who they bring in.

310
00:11:17,550 --> 00:11:17,990
Oh, there you go.

311
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:18,910
Exactly.

312
00:11:19,670 --> 00:11:21,050
So let's hear what she has to say.

313
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:23,410
I don't think that the regime itself is

314
00:11:23,410 --> 00:11:27,510
in a moment of imminent danger, really because

315
00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:29,850
the Islamic Republic of Iran, as we have

316
00:11:29,850 --> 00:11:35,490
witnessed over many years of protests, is institutionalized

317
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:40,150
and has a bureaucracy that is willing to

318
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:43,830
remain united and push back against dissent in

319
00:11:43,830 --> 00:11:44,430
the country.

320
00:11:44,910 --> 00:11:47,990
But what the system is looking to avoid

321
00:11:47,990 --> 00:11:52,650
is a long scale, protracted standoff.

322
00:11:53,470 --> 00:11:56,410
Iran's leadership knows the quickest way to ease

323
00:11:56,410 --> 00:11:58,570
pressure is lifting U.S. sanctions.

324
00:11:59,310 --> 00:12:01,770
But with President Donald Trump this week threatening

325
00:12:01,770 --> 00:12:04,210
to, quote, knock the hell out of Iran

326
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:07,450
if it rebuilt its missile program, the diplomatic

327
00:12:07,450 --> 00:12:09,570
mood is far from positive.

328
00:12:09,810 --> 00:12:10,510
All right.

329
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:12,710
So we did get one little viral moment,

330
00:12:12,770 --> 00:12:14,810
just a very brief one, which they're trying

331
00:12:14,810 --> 00:12:15,370
to push.

332
00:12:15,770 --> 00:12:18,010
An image that quickly went viral in Iran.

333
00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:20,650
A man sits down in the middle of

334
00:12:20,650 --> 00:12:24,470
the street in silent protest, facing him lines

335
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:26,970
of Iranian security personnel on motorbikes.

336
00:12:27,170 --> 00:12:29,890
So like a Tiananmen Square type deal is

337
00:12:29,890 --> 00:12:32,190
what this guy's doing, you know, kneeling, kneeling.

338
00:12:32,330 --> 00:12:33,550
You might as well do it that way.

339
00:12:33,590 --> 00:12:35,610
And here's the BBC report.

340
00:12:35,790 --> 00:12:37,730
Protests are continuing for a third day in

341
00:12:37,730 --> 00:12:40,310
Iran against rising prices and an increase in

342
00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:41,710
the price of foreign currency.

343
00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:44,970
Students from several universities have joined the demonstrations,

344
00:12:45,190 --> 00:12:47,950
which was started on Sunday by shopkeepers and

345
00:12:47,950 --> 00:12:49,190
market stall holders.

346
00:12:49,810 --> 00:12:51,790
Tehran province has been the center of the

347
00:12:51,790 --> 00:12:52,230
protests.

348
00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:54,750
Parts of Tehran markets are also closed.

349
00:12:55,030 --> 00:12:56,430
David Bamford reports.

350
00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:36,410
Sounds a bit like an Arab Spring thing.

351
00:13:36,490 --> 00:13:36,890
Oh, yeah.

352
00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:37,810
Bread is expensive.

353
00:13:38,230 --> 00:13:41,270
Also, they got that angle, but they also

354
00:13:41,270 --> 00:13:43,290
have not mentioned, which a lot of these

355
00:13:43,290 --> 00:13:45,570
bloggers have talked about, that they ran out

356
00:13:45,570 --> 00:13:46,090
of water.

357
00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:48,770
They've been out of water for a couple

358
00:13:48,770 --> 00:13:52,150
of months because of a drought and just

359
00:13:52,150 --> 00:13:52,990
mismanagement.

360
00:13:53,170 --> 00:13:57,330
Ostensibly, these are protests about food price increases

361
00:13:57,330 --> 00:13:59,690
of up to 70% year on year

362
00:13:59,690 --> 00:14:01,230
and soaring inflation.

363
00:14:01,810 --> 00:14:04,730
The security forces have deployed heavily, but videos

364
00:14:04,730 --> 00:14:07,550
show them pulling back amid the public anger.

365
00:14:08,090 --> 00:14:11,870
State media say Iran's president, Massoud Pazashkian, urged

366
00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:14,010
his own government to listen to what he

367
00:14:14,010 --> 00:14:16,870
called the legitimate demands of the protesters and

368
00:14:16,870 --> 00:14:17,910
to make reforms.

369
00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:19,370
Some in the crowd can be heard.

370
00:14:20,410 --> 00:14:21,970
I get the kick out of the guy

371
00:14:21,970 --> 00:14:26,890
supposedly running the country, saying the government should

372
00:14:26,890 --> 00:14:27,250
listen.

373
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:28,830
He is the government, isn't he?

374
00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:30,010
No, I guess not.

375
00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:32,010
So it's a fake.

376
00:14:32,270 --> 00:14:32,430
Yeah.

377
00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:36,490
State media say Iran's president, Massoud Pazashkian, urged

378
00:14:36,490 --> 00:14:38,630
his own government to listen to what he

379
00:14:38,630 --> 00:14:41,510
called the legitimate demands of the protesters and

380
00:14:41,510 --> 00:14:42,510
to make reforms.

381
00:14:42,810 --> 00:14:44,390
Some in the crowd can be heard shouting

382
00:14:44,390 --> 00:14:47,250
political slogans, calling for the overthrow of the

383
00:14:47,250 --> 00:14:48,310
Islamic Republic.

384
00:14:48,850 --> 00:14:51,130
Slogans that can be heard include death to

385
00:14:51,130 --> 00:14:54,850
the dictator, targeting Supreme Leader Khamenei, the real

386
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:55,710
power in Iran.

387
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:58,870
And this is the final battle Paklavi will

388
00:14:58,870 --> 00:15:01,430
return, a reference to the family of the

389
00:15:01,430 --> 00:15:03,770
ruling shah of Iran ousted in the late

390
00:15:03,770 --> 00:15:04,890
1970s.

391
00:15:04,970 --> 00:15:06,810
That's the kid in London, isn't it?

392
00:15:06,830 --> 00:15:07,050
Yeah.

393
00:15:07,050 --> 00:15:09,190
Yeah, and they keep, yeah, there's a number

394
00:15:09,190 --> 00:15:09,810
of protests.

395
00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:11,470
Again, we don't know if this is AI

396
00:15:11,470 --> 00:15:14,230
or if it's real, but where there's big

397
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:17,210
crowds chanting his name.

398
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:19,950
Here's, I did get one U.S. report.

399
00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:20,750
This is CNN.

400
00:15:21,290 --> 00:15:22,690
Iran backed the news for a couple of

401
00:15:22,690 --> 00:15:22,990
reasons.

402
00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:24,570
Its government said today it would seek a

403
00:15:24,570 --> 00:15:27,470
dialogue with protest leaders after demonstrations in Tehran

404
00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:29,550
and other cities were surged in inflation.

405
00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:33,370
Do you think this poses a danger to

406
00:15:33,370 --> 00:15:33,990
the government there?

407
00:15:33,990 --> 00:15:37,610
I think Tehran, as we all know, it's

408
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:39,430
a theocratic autocracy.

409
00:15:40,630 --> 00:15:43,390
And like a lot of autocracies, as I

410
00:15:43,390 --> 00:15:44,510
say, I used to live in Africa.

411
00:15:44,830 --> 00:15:46,310
I used to say in Africa, when the

412
00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:48,450
elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.

413
00:15:49,110 --> 00:15:50,190
Oh, there's a new one.

414
00:15:51,370 --> 00:15:52,930
She had never heard that before.

415
00:15:53,490 --> 00:15:56,150
This is the great philosopher they have on

416
00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:56,530
CNN.

417
00:15:56,790 --> 00:15:58,870
Say in Africa, when the elephants fight-

418
00:15:58,870 --> 00:16:00,850
What does Africa have to do with Iran?

419
00:16:01,610 --> 00:16:02,510
I mean, this is odd.

420
00:16:02,510 --> 00:16:04,030
As I say, I used to live in

421
00:16:04,030 --> 00:16:04,370
Africa.

422
00:16:04,590 --> 00:16:06,130
I used to say in Africa, when the

423
00:16:06,130 --> 00:16:08,470
elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.

424
00:16:08,750 --> 00:16:10,870
And Iran, the grass is being trampled.

425
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:11,530
And who is fighting?

426
00:16:11,650 --> 00:16:14,570
It's Tehran versus the rest of the folks

427
00:16:14,570 --> 00:16:16,450
in the region and the U.S. And

428
00:16:16,450 --> 00:16:17,970
they've been hit by inflation.

429
00:16:18,270 --> 00:16:21,870
They've been hit by all- Sean McFate.

430
00:16:22,650 --> 00:16:25,870
Economic sanctions, all because Israel, I'm sorry, all

431
00:16:25,870 --> 00:16:26,910
because Iran- What?

432
00:16:28,730 --> 00:16:30,130
Truth just came out.

433
00:16:30,190 --> 00:16:30,950
Hold on a second.

434
00:16:30,950 --> 00:16:32,510
And they've been hit by inflation.

435
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:34,230
They've been hit by all sorts of economic

436
00:16:34,230 --> 00:16:37,570
sanctions, all because Israel, I'm sorry, all because

437
00:16:37,570 --> 00:16:40,930
Iran doesn't want to give up its nuclear

438
00:16:40,930 --> 00:16:41,790
weapons program.

439
00:16:42,010 --> 00:16:42,430
Oh, really?

440
00:16:42,550 --> 00:16:43,350
That's what it is?

441
00:16:43,650 --> 00:16:46,150
Oh, that's what it- Oh, brother, this

442
00:16:46,150 --> 00:16:47,890
is CNN at its best.

443
00:16:48,190 --> 00:16:50,770
They have no water for three months, but

444
00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:52,870
it's because of the nukes, sure.

445
00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:56,050
And so this is always a threat to

446
00:16:56,050 --> 00:16:56,670
Tehran.

447
00:16:57,090 --> 00:17:00,630
But Tehran usually just squeezes down autocracies and

448
00:17:00,630 --> 00:17:01,830
pressures them away.

449
00:17:01,990 --> 00:17:03,569
And that's probably what's going to happen again.

450
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:06,470
But the other problem is, is that Iran

451
00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:09,609
has also declared war, basically, on Israel and

452
00:17:09,609 --> 00:17:11,190
others as we speak.

453
00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:15,410
And we'll see where that goes.

454
00:17:15,569 --> 00:17:19,390
It's a tough, frightening talk from a volatile

455
00:17:19,390 --> 00:17:19,930
region.

456
00:17:20,130 --> 00:17:22,170
Frightening talk from a volatile region.

457
00:17:22,410 --> 00:17:25,130
You can't ignore the coincidence, of course, of

458
00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:28,630
Netanyahu showing up at Mar-a-Lago and

459
00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:31,890
telling Trump, they're thinking of moving their nukes.

460
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:36,330
It feels coordinated, but they don't have a

461
00:17:36,330 --> 00:17:37,090
message yet.

462
00:17:37,650 --> 00:17:39,150
Or they didn't plan the message.

463
00:17:39,450 --> 00:17:41,650
Or maybe, maybe it's actually real.

464
00:17:42,470 --> 00:17:43,430
I think it might be.

465
00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:45,850
It feels like it because no one is

466
00:17:45,850 --> 00:17:46,910
doing the messaging right.

467
00:17:47,090 --> 00:17:49,610
There's so many things- They've been having

468
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:54,290
enough coordinated bullcrap riots and color revolutions that

469
00:17:54,290 --> 00:17:57,210
somebody may have a clue and have figured

470
00:17:57,210 --> 00:17:57,610
it out.

471
00:17:57,650 --> 00:17:58,770
You just need one leader.

472
00:17:59,470 --> 00:18:00,770
And it's possible.

473
00:18:00,970 --> 00:18:03,370
And I told you, we talked months ago

474
00:18:03,370 --> 00:18:06,090
that that guy, the kid who's been in

475
00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:09,410
exile in London, he appears to be the

476
00:18:09,410 --> 00:18:10,290
one they want now.

477
00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:14,390
Or were they saying, let's go Brandon?

478
00:18:14,530 --> 00:18:15,470
I'm not sure what they were yelling.

479
00:18:15,470 --> 00:18:16,430
Could it be both?

480
00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:18,950
Yeah.

481
00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:20,990
It's hard to know.

482
00:18:21,390 --> 00:18:22,310
I got to call Lex.

483
00:18:22,390 --> 00:18:23,090
I got to ask him.

484
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:23,650
It's hard.

485
00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:25,230
Why is it hard to know?

486
00:18:25,510 --> 00:18:27,530
Because nobody's covering it.

487
00:18:27,530 --> 00:18:29,510
Where's the boots on the ground from the

488
00:18:29,510 --> 00:18:29,950
news media?

489
00:18:30,110 --> 00:18:34,150
CNN has some guy giving us aphorisms from

490
00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:36,350
Africa, you know, sitting in the studio.

491
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:37,710
Why don't you go out there and do

492
00:18:37,710 --> 00:18:40,630
some, put your feet on the ground and

493
00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:42,210
go float around and find out what's going

494
00:18:42,210 --> 00:18:42,590
on.

495
00:18:42,630 --> 00:18:43,810
Which brings- News media.

496
00:18:44,090 --> 00:18:45,870
You're getting paid money to do that.

497
00:18:45,950 --> 00:18:46,910
You have huge budgets.

498
00:18:47,130 --> 00:18:49,830
Which brings me to the New Year's, New

499
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:54,330
Year's Day message from CBS Evening News, Tony

500
00:18:54,330 --> 00:18:54,810
DeCouple.

501
00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:55,530
DeCouple.

502
00:18:56,650 --> 00:18:57,030
Is that his name?

503
00:18:57,030 --> 00:18:59,530
Oh, you recorded it?

504
00:18:59,770 --> 00:19:01,370
Yes, of course I did.

505
00:19:01,410 --> 00:19:02,330
This is unbelievable.

506
00:19:02,850 --> 00:19:05,310
Now, this has to be Barry Weiss in

507
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:06,690
the background, I presume.

508
00:19:08,030 --> 00:19:12,410
But basically, we've been screwing you over for

509
00:19:12,410 --> 00:19:15,470
50 years with our CBS Evening News.

510
00:19:16,370 --> 00:19:17,450
Yeah, you want to say something?

511
00:19:17,450 --> 00:19:18,370
Well, a couple of things.

512
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:20,530
It's Barry, it might be just, it might

513
00:19:20,530 --> 00:19:22,670
be, by the way.

514
00:19:24,390 --> 00:19:26,510
Well, Barry Weiss would be the representative.

515
00:19:27,030 --> 00:19:29,010
But Barry Weiss might have gone in there

516
00:19:29,010 --> 00:19:31,150
and pushed for something like this.

517
00:19:31,210 --> 00:19:33,590
And I think this may be a satire.

518
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:36,450
Well, I mean, I thought it was a

519
00:19:36,450 --> 00:19:37,910
satire, but I looked at all- No,

520
00:19:37,910 --> 00:19:40,490
I mean, no, it's not a, like a

521
00:19:40,490 --> 00:19:43,010
fake video that's turned into a satire.

522
00:19:43,050 --> 00:19:46,510
But I'm saying, literally by DeCouple or whatever

523
00:19:46,510 --> 00:19:49,770
his name is, actually going over the top

524
00:19:49,770 --> 00:19:52,530
so far that it's like laughable.

525
00:19:52,630 --> 00:19:54,110
So they're laughing- On purpose.

526
00:19:54,130 --> 00:19:55,510
They're laughing in the newsroom.

527
00:19:56,050 --> 00:19:57,470
Look at these suckers.

528
00:19:57,850 --> 00:19:58,650
Yeah, we'll tell them.

529
00:19:58,930 --> 00:20:00,310
I'm just considering it.

530
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:01,790
It's, well, let's analyze.

531
00:20:02,010 --> 00:20:03,130
Because it's out of control.

532
00:20:03,230 --> 00:20:06,810
It's so stupid to do something like this.

533
00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:09,870
Well, the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group would have

534
00:20:09,870 --> 00:20:11,570
never advised this, that's for sure.

535
00:20:11,970 --> 00:20:13,070
That's for sure.

536
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,690
A lot has changed since the first person

537
00:20:15,690 --> 00:20:16,610
sat in this chair.

538
00:20:16,730 --> 00:20:19,330
But for me, the biggest difference is people

539
00:20:19,330 --> 00:20:21,690
do not trust us like they used to.

540
00:20:22,210 --> 00:20:23,370
And it's not just us.

541
00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:25,390
It's all of legacy media.

542
00:20:25,510 --> 00:20:27,710
Yeah, for 18 years, dude.

543
00:20:28,030 --> 00:20:29,490
Because I've been hearing about it from just

544
00:20:29,490 --> 00:20:32,130
about everybody for more than 20 years as

545
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:34,550
I've traveled America on this assignment or that.

546
00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,050
My mom's neighbors in West Virginia- I

547
00:20:37,050 --> 00:20:38,610
love where he starts right away.

548
00:20:38,770 --> 00:20:40,470
My mom doesn't like it.

549
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:41,510
My mom's neighbor.

550
00:20:41,790 --> 00:20:43,450
Mom complained to me, okay.

551
00:20:43,850 --> 00:20:45,890
For more than 20 years as I've traveled

552
00:20:45,890 --> 00:20:47,870
America on this assignment or that.

553
00:20:48,510 --> 00:20:51,070
My mom's neighbors in West Virginia, my own

554
00:20:51,070 --> 00:20:52,110
neighbors in New York City.

555
00:20:52,590 --> 00:20:55,030
Thousands and thousands of conversations in between.

556
00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:58,050
Sometimes people want to talk to me about

557
00:20:58,050 --> 00:21:00,450
our coverage of NAFTA or the Iraq war.

558
00:21:00,890 --> 00:21:00,990
Huh?

559
00:21:01,770 --> 00:21:02,210
What?

560
00:21:02,850 --> 00:21:04,070
How old are those people?

561
00:21:04,850 --> 00:21:05,370
Hey, man.

562
00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:08,250
You know, maybe some people should realize what

563
00:21:08,250 --> 00:21:09,330
we're listening to here.

564
00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:10,990
I don't think we gave it enough background.

565
00:21:11,550 --> 00:21:13,490
This is Tony DeCouple, the guy who's taking

566
00:21:13,490 --> 00:21:15,310
over CBS nightly news.

567
00:21:15,830 --> 00:21:16,770
And this is- Evening news.

568
00:21:16,870 --> 00:21:17,450
Evening news.

569
00:21:17,650 --> 00:21:18,090
Evening.

570
00:21:18,190 --> 00:21:18,570
Evening.

571
00:21:18,650 --> 00:21:19,370
Yeah, well.

572
00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:22,090
He's taking over the news slot.

573
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:24,330
He's bumped that, you know, whoever was there

574
00:21:24,330 --> 00:21:25,130
before got bumped.

575
00:21:25,790 --> 00:21:27,230
Nora was there for a while.

576
00:21:28,130 --> 00:21:31,450
And this is kind of a pre-mea

577
00:21:31,450 --> 00:21:31,850
culpa.

578
00:21:33,490 --> 00:21:35,290
Apologizing for all the screw-ups they had

579
00:21:35,290 --> 00:21:35,970
in the past.

580
00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:37,210
I'm the new guy.

581
00:21:37,370 --> 00:21:38,370
We're going to do it differently.

582
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:39,430
This kind of thing.

583
00:21:39,810 --> 00:21:41,430
And it's just awkward.

584
00:21:41,830 --> 00:21:44,530
But in case anybody wonders what we're listening

585
00:21:44,530 --> 00:21:44,790
to.

586
00:21:45,410 --> 00:21:48,050
Other times it's all about Hillary Clinton's emails

587
00:21:48,050 --> 00:21:48,970
or Russiagate.

588
00:21:49,470 --> 00:21:53,150
Or more recently, COVID lockdowns, Hunter Biden's laptop,

589
00:21:53,590 --> 00:21:55,670
or the president's fitness for office.

590
00:21:55,950 --> 00:21:58,090
I think they should literally do a story

591
00:21:58,090 --> 00:22:02,050
on each of these things, starting today, and

592
00:22:02,050 --> 00:22:03,330
give us the truth.

593
00:22:04,930 --> 00:22:07,910
That would be a good follow-up.

594
00:22:08,050 --> 00:22:09,850
Somehow I doubt that's in the works.

595
00:22:10,050 --> 00:22:11,130
No, I don't think so.

596
00:22:11,210 --> 00:22:13,070
The point is, on too many stories, the

597
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:14,930
press has missed the story.

598
00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:17,650
Yeah, missed the story, like it was a

599
00:22:17,650 --> 00:22:20,990
scam, everything's fake and gay, and you guys

600
00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:21,830
are leading it.

601
00:22:22,270 --> 00:22:24,610
Because we've taken into account the perspective of

602
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:27,010
advocates and not the average American.

603
00:22:27,330 --> 00:22:27,630
Really?

604
00:22:28,290 --> 00:22:29,670
This is such an admission.

605
00:22:30,130 --> 00:22:32,590
We've taken the account of advocates.

606
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,370
Yeah, this is really poor form.

607
00:22:35,810 --> 00:22:38,710
Yeah, basically saying, we've worked for other people.

608
00:22:39,650 --> 00:22:41,870
Or we put too much weight in the

609
00:22:41,870 --> 00:22:45,630
analysis of academics or elites, and not enough

610
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:46,510
on you.

611
00:22:46,830 --> 00:22:48,430
Yes, the dummies.

612
00:22:49,670 --> 00:22:50,990
The plebs.

613
00:22:51,710 --> 00:22:53,190
I have been you.

614
00:22:53,750 --> 00:22:55,430
I have felt this way too.

615
00:22:55,630 --> 00:22:56,710
I am you.

616
00:22:58,330 --> 00:23:01,110
CBS News, I am you.

617
00:23:01,850 --> 00:23:03,610
I felt like what I was seeing-

618
00:23:03,610 --> 00:23:05,550
I wouldn't be surprised to see that as

619
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:06,370
a catchphrase.

620
00:23:06,630 --> 00:23:07,670
Well, we'll give it to them.

621
00:23:07,970 --> 00:23:11,010
CBS News, I, and that little I logo,

622
00:23:11,450 --> 00:23:12,610
I am you.

623
00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:14,790
And I know this because at certain points,

624
00:23:15,170 --> 00:23:16,470
I have been you.

625
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:18,650
I have felt this way too.

626
00:23:19,270 --> 00:23:21,610
I felt like what I was seeing and

627
00:23:21,610 --> 00:23:23,970
hearing on the news didn't reflect what I

628
00:23:23,970 --> 00:23:26,250
was seeing and hearing in my own life.

629
00:23:26,470 --> 00:23:30,030
And that the most urgent questions simply weren't

630
00:23:30,030 --> 00:23:30,690
being asked.

631
00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:34,070
So here's my promise to you, today and

632
00:23:34,070 --> 00:23:35,830
every time you see me in this chair.

633
00:23:35,990 --> 00:23:37,430
I will be wearing pants.

634
00:23:37,990 --> 00:23:39,050
You come first.

635
00:23:39,590 --> 00:23:44,550
Not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests.

636
00:23:44,830 --> 00:23:47,710
And yes, that does include the corporate owners

637
00:23:47,710 --> 00:23:48,430
of CBS.

638
00:23:48,990 --> 00:23:51,930
Yeah, oh yeah, which is now Allison.

639
00:23:53,150 --> 00:23:56,870
Yeah, I report for you, which means I

640
00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:57,810
tell you what I know.

641
00:23:57,930 --> 00:23:58,190
Okay.

642
00:23:58,290 --> 00:23:58,990
When I know it.

643
00:23:59,050 --> 00:23:59,290
Okay.

644
00:23:59,390 --> 00:24:00,270
And how I know it.

645
00:24:00,370 --> 00:24:00,610
Oh.

646
00:24:00,910 --> 00:24:01,930
And when I get it wrong.

647
00:24:02,110 --> 00:24:04,470
I know, I know it in my knower.

648
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:05,830
I'll tell you that too.

649
00:24:06,790 --> 00:24:08,610
It also means I'm going to talk to

650
00:24:08,610 --> 00:24:11,510
everybody and hold everyone in public life to

651
00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:12,630
the very same standard.

652
00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:14,890
After all, I became a journalist.

653
00:24:17,190 --> 00:24:18,770
He'll tell you everything he knows.

654
00:24:18,890 --> 00:24:21,070
He's holding them to account.

655
00:24:21,110 --> 00:24:22,190
This guy, by the way, was on the

656
00:24:22,190 --> 00:24:22,530
morning.

657
00:24:22,770 --> 00:24:24,630
This guy's on the morning show.

658
00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:27,390
He was a morning guy and he was

659
00:24:27,390 --> 00:24:28,690
the dumbest of the group.

660
00:24:29,190 --> 00:24:32,550
He was always saying stupid stuff, asking dumb

661
00:24:32,550 --> 00:24:33,090
questions.

662
00:24:33,310 --> 00:24:36,030
He's just, I don't want to just demean

663
00:24:36,030 --> 00:24:37,410
the guy, but he's a dummy.

664
00:24:37,610 --> 00:24:38,210
That's good.

665
00:24:38,350 --> 00:24:39,830
The dummy's almost done.

666
00:24:40,570 --> 00:24:42,090
It also means I'm going to talk to

667
00:24:42,090 --> 00:24:44,990
everybody and hold everyone in public life to

668
00:24:44,990 --> 00:24:46,110
the very same standard.

669
00:24:46,930 --> 00:24:49,050
After all, I became a journalist to talk

670
00:24:49,050 --> 00:24:49,490
to people.

671
00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:51,990
Oh, I love talking to people about what

672
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:54,170
works in this country, what doesn't.

673
00:24:54,270 --> 00:24:55,830
Is that why you become a journalist?

674
00:24:56,010 --> 00:24:56,670
To talk to people?

675
00:24:56,670 --> 00:24:58,650
I've never heard that being the reason to

676
00:24:58,650 --> 00:24:59,410
become a journalist.

677
00:24:59,470 --> 00:25:00,330
Start a podcast.

678
00:25:01,130 --> 00:25:02,810
Become a journalist to document reality.

679
00:25:03,090 --> 00:25:04,510
Become a podcaster, man.

680
00:25:04,550 --> 00:25:05,590
You can talk to anybody.

681
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:09,110
And not only what should change, but the

682
00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:11,250
good ideas that should never change.

683
00:25:12,070 --> 00:25:14,530
I think telling the truth is one of

684
00:25:14,530 --> 00:25:14,710
them.

685
00:25:15,730 --> 00:25:18,170
I'm Tony DeCopol, the anchor of the CBS

686
00:25:18,170 --> 00:25:18,910
Evening News.

687
00:25:19,790 --> 00:25:20,650
Hold me to it.

688
00:25:22,170 --> 00:25:22,930
You bet.

689
00:25:23,650 --> 00:25:24,510
Hold me to it.

690
00:25:25,350 --> 00:25:27,850
CBS, hold me to it.

691
00:25:27,970 --> 00:25:28,690
Yeah, that's good.

692
00:25:29,090 --> 00:25:35,650
Well, in this honesty vein of our buddy

693
00:25:35,650 --> 00:25:35,850
here.

694
00:25:35,850 --> 00:25:36,430
It's so funny.

695
00:25:36,610 --> 00:25:37,290
Yeah, it's great.

696
00:25:38,070 --> 00:25:39,690
At first, I'm like, this is fake.

697
00:25:39,770 --> 00:25:40,590
This has to be fake.

698
00:25:40,670 --> 00:25:41,490
This can't be real.

699
00:25:43,510 --> 00:25:45,990
And so you've helped me to account, people.

700
00:25:46,590 --> 00:25:47,710
You've helped me to account.

701
00:25:48,790 --> 00:25:53,130
I have stolen valor on my heart.

702
00:25:53,790 --> 00:25:55,070
I feel horrible.

703
00:25:55,290 --> 00:25:57,930
No, it's the AI that stole the valor.

704
00:25:58,110 --> 00:25:59,770
And you just stole from AI.

705
00:26:00,750 --> 00:26:03,550
Here is the clip of the day on

706
00:26:03,550 --> 00:26:05,150
the last episode last year.

707
00:26:05,230 --> 00:26:06,830
So it doesn't really count as last year.

708
00:26:07,410 --> 00:26:10,410
Of Yanis Varoufakis was AI.

709
00:26:11,130 --> 00:26:15,590
And he discussed it recently on UnHerd.

710
00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:18,410
And it was rather an interesting two clip

711
00:26:18,410 --> 00:26:19,330
conversation.

712
00:26:19,570 --> 00:26:23,850
I received a message, some WhatsApp message from

713
00:26:23,850 --> 00:26:26,230
a very esteemed colleague.

714
00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:29,330
Yes, the Kuri Dvorak podcast.

715
00:26:29,830 --> 00:26:31,350
They said, hey, is this you?

716
00:26:31,530 --> 00:26:33,490
A person whose opinion I value a lot.

717
00:26:33,590 --> 00:26:33,850
Oh, yes.

718
00:26:33,850 --> 00:26:37,430
He was congratulating me over a YouTube video

719
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:37,850
of mine.

720
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:38,890
And he had the link in there.

721
00:26:38,930 --> 00:26:40,550
And so this was spot on, Yanis.

722
00:26:40,590 --> 00:26:41,430
Really very good analysis.

723
00:26:41,490 --> 00:26:42,790
It wasn't the one you showed just now.

724
00:26:43,630 --> 00:26:45,090
So I clicked on the link to remind

725
00:26:45,090 --> 00:26:46,410
myself of what it is that I had

726
00:26:46,410 --> 00:26:47,750
said, which my colleague liked.

727
00:26:48,310 --> 00:26:51,070
And it was two minutes into the video

728
00:26:51,070 --> 00:26:52,890
that I realized it wasn't me.

729
00:26:53,590 --> 00:26:55,590
That's two minutes is an eternity.

730
00:26:56,030 --> 00:26:58,370
So if the guy himself didn't realize it

731
00:26:58,370 --> 00:27:01,690
for two minutes, that's concerning.

732
00:27:01,690 --> 00:27:03,350
Yeah, you can't take too much blame, even

733
00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:08,150
though I rebuke and denounce and renounce the

734
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:08,990
clip of the day.

735
00:27:09,490 --> 00:27:11,110
Denounce and renounce.

736
00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:14,130
And listen to how he actually figured it

737
00:27:14,130 --> 00:27:14,390
out.

738
00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:16,230
When you have somebody saying things you never

739
00:27:16,230 --> 00:27:18,270
said, but which you could have said, the

740
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:20,950
reason why I caught on to this was

741
00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:23,230
because you see this blue shirt?

742
00:27:23,750 --> 00:27:26,330
Well, I was wearing it in that video.

743
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:28,790
But that video was set in my office

744
00:27:28,790 --> 00:27:29,230
in Athens.

745
00:27:29,950 --> 00:27:31,590
Here I'm talking to you from my island

746
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:31,870
home.

747
00:27:31,970 --> 00:27:33,250
And this shirt has never left.

748
00:27:33,350 --> 00:27:35,350
By the way, remind me to use that

749
00:27:35,350 --> 00:27:35,670
line.

750
00:27:36,270 --> 00:27:38,190
Today, I'm talking to you from my island

751
00:27:38,190 --> 00:27:38,550
home.

752
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:40,090
I'm not in my regular home.

753
00:27:40,770 --> 00:27:42,050
My island home.

754
00:27:42,410 --> 00:27:44,990
It was this juxtaposition of my blue shirt

755
00:27:44,990 --> 00:27:47,730
from one house to the other that alerted

756
00:27:47,730 --> 00:27:48,930
me to the fact that it wasn't me.

757
00:27:49,490 --> 00:27:53,250
And then, of course, I started digging into

758
00:27:53,250 --> 00:27:53,470
it.

759
00:27:53,790 --> 00:27:56,570
And it turns out that the words that

760
00:27:56,570 --> 00:27:58,230
you just heard, I have never spoken.

761
00:27:59,170 --> 00:28:01,050
But alas, they are words that I could

762
00:28:01,050 --> 00:28:01,510
have spoken.

763
00:28:01,790 --> 00:28:03,710
The analysis is not far off mine.

764
00:28:04,330 --> 00:28:05,710
And there have been videos that I've watched

765
00:28:05,710 --> 00:28:08,170
of myself where I would articulate an argument

766
00:28:08,670 --> 00:28:11,650
in ways that I don't disagree with that.

767
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:13,070
Maybe I would have said it.

768
00:28:13,070 --> 00:28:15,110
But then, and this is a misinterpreted part.

769
00:28:15,750 --> 00:28:16,990
I'm sure you can understand it.

770
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:18,470
I'm sure our audience can understand it.

771
00:28:18,790 --> 00:28:22,610
And then suddenly, a sentence would be inserted

772
00:28:22,610 --> 00:28:26,370
in my soliloquy that I would never have

773
00:28:26,370 --> 00:28:26,590
said.

774
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:29,370
And that is where the defamatory part starts.

775
00:28:29,510 --> 00:28:31,150
That's when I blew my top.

776
00:28:31,310 --> 00:28:33,010
And I started writing to Google and to

777
00:28:33,010 --> 00:28:35,470
Meta and Instagram and so on.

778
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:36,530
I blew my top.

779
00:28:36,790 --> 00:28:37,390
He blew his top.

780
00:28:37,410 --> 00:28:38,130
I blew my top.

781
00:28:38,270 --> 00:28:39,490
Top, top, top, I'm blown.

782
00:28:39,670 --> 00:28:41,770
The funnier part of the story is when

783
00:28:41,770 --> 00:28:43,450
he tried to do something about it.

784
00:28:43,750 --> 00:28:47,510
Which brings us to the whole monetization system

785
00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:50,830
that Big Tech has imposed upon an unsuspecting

786
00:28:50,830 --> 00:28:51,170
world.

787
00:28:51,690 --> 00:28:53,850
Because, you know, as you can imagine, the

788
00:28:53,850 --> 00:28:55,610
first thing I did when I came across

789
00:28:55,610 --> 00:28:57,670
these fake videos was to write to Google

790
00:28:57,670 --> 00:28:59,130
and to Meta and to these people.

791
00:28:59,390 --> 00:29:01,610
It took days before I got a response.

792
00:29:01,830 --> 00:29:05,730
The response was interestingly, of course, AI generated.

793
00:29:06,110 --> 00:29:09,090
Then I insisted on talking to a real

794
00:29:09,090 --> 00:29:09,390
person.

795
00:29:09,490 --> 00:29:10,530
I don't know whether they succeeded.

796
00:29:10,530 --> 00:29:14,590
Maybe they referred me to a more realistic

797
00:29:14,590 --> 00:29:17,230
version of AI who wrote a more human

798
00:29:17,230 --> 00:29:17,970
-like letter.

799
00:29:18,330 --> 00:29:20,770
In the end, it took eight days, nine

800
00:29:20,770 --> 00:29:23,330
days after my first form that I filled

801
00:29:23,330 --> 00:29:27,810
and I submitted, illustrating and demonstrating and proving

802
00:29:27,810 --> 00:29:30,470
that these are deepfake versions of me.

803
00:29:31,530 --> 00:29:34,070
And they brought one channel down.

804
00:29:34,590 --> 00:29:38,330
And then within seconds, the same material re

805
00:29:38,330 --> 00:29:40,170
-emerged in a different channel.

806
00:29:40,170 --> 00:29:41,910
Under a different name, but the same videos.

807
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:46,350
And I realized within two weeks that this

808
00:29:46,350 --> 00:29:47,090
was a losing game.

809
00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:48,590
He's given up.

810
00:29:49,450 --> 00:29:50,750
He's just given up on it.

811
00:29:51,050 --> 00:29:54,050
You can't even talk to a real person

812
00:29:54,050 --> 00:29:55,130
at Google about this.

813
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:55,890
This is amazing.

814
00:29:56,450 --> 00:29:58,210
It's an amazing time we live in.

815
00:29:58,490 --> 00:29:59,490
I'll tell you that.

816
00:29:59,630 --> 00:30:01,030
Yeah, this is a problem.

817
00:30:02,210 --> 00:30:04,370
I think this is more of a problem

818
00:30:04,370 --> 00:30:05,770
than we like to think.

819
00:30:06,030 --> 00:30:07,450
Oh, it's a huge problem.

820
00:30:08,330 --> 00:30:10,350
But yeah, it's the model, obviously.

821
00:30:10,610 --> 00:30:13,490
It's the monetization model.

822
00:30:13,850 --> 00:30:18,490
I expect that there'll be moments over the

823
00:30:18,490 --> 00:30:20,970
next year where we'll be suckered into...

824
00:30:22,090 --> 00:30:23,190
Many times.

825
00:30:23,930 --> 00:30:25,110
More than once.

826
00:30:25,150 --> 00:30:26,350
Yeah, I'm sure it will.

827
00:30:26,350 --> 00:30:29,730
Playing a clip from someone who is, it's

828
00:30:29,730 --> 00:30:30,570
a perfect clip.

829
00:30:30,790 --> 00:30:30,970
Yeah.

830
00:30:31,450 --> 00:30:34,030
And it's not done in such a way

831
00:30:34,030 --> 00:30:36,030
that it gives itself away as being a

832
00:30:36,030 --> 00:30:36,370
fake.

833
00:30:37,010 --> 00:30:41,590
And it'll be a good clip, but it'll

834
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:42,070
be fake.

835
00:30:42,170 --> 00:30:42,870
It won't be the guy.

836
00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:43,910
I mean, this is what happened.

837
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:48,290
And it's unfortunate, but it's just going to

838
00:30:48,290 --> 00:30:48,590
happen.

839
00:30:48,690 --> 00:30:50,370
The funny thing is that the clip that

840
00:30:50,370 --> 00:30:53,830
we played was him talking about Russia's retaliation

841
00:30:54,610 --> 00:30:58,170
against the freezing, the permanent freezing of the

842
00:30:58,170 --> 00:31:01,410
Russian assets at Euroclear and other banks in

843
00:31:01,410 --> 00:31:01,970
the EU.

844
00:31:03,030 --> 00:31:05,950
And so I went and said, well, did

845
00:31:05,950 --> 00:31:07,190
this actually happen or not?

846
00:31:07,650 --> 00:31:09,910
Was this just a report that they used

847
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:10,150
him?

848
00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:15,830
And it turns out, yes, Russia nationalized a

849
00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:19,310
whole bunch of EU companies, but they did

850
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:22,190
it a year ago, which we didn't even

851
00:31:22,190 --> 00:31:22,870
hear about.

852
00:31:25,670 --> 00:31:31,530
Including Carlsberg, Danone, Fortum, Uniper.

853
00:31:32,550 --> 00:31:33,490
I mean, so...

854
00:31:33,490 --> 00:31:37,830
And totaling even more than the fake AI

855
00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:39,390
clip said, this all happened.

856
00:31:40,270 --> 00:31:42,070
Yeah, this seems to me to be the

857
00:31:42,070 --> 00:31:42,490
Russians.

858
00:31:43,890 --> 00:31:46,270
They can do AI as well as...

859
00:31:46,270 --> 00:31:47,710
I mean, they can use the same tools

860
00:31:47,710 --> 00:31:50,610
we have and they have smart people and

861
00:31:50,610 --> 00:31:52,850
they have to be beside...

862
00:31:52,850 --> 00:31:55,910
Putin's people have to be beside themselves with,

863
00:31:56,530 --> 00:31:57,630
how come this...

864
00:31:57,630 --> 00:31:58,030
We're going to...

865
00:31:58,030 --> 00:31:59,190
OK, you guys are going to do that.

866
00:31:59,230 --> 00:32:00,090
We're going to do this.

867
00:32:00,490 --> 00:32:01,830
And nobody reports it.

868
00:32:02,210 --> 00:32:05,190
And so they say, well, nobody's reporting on

869
00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:06,070
what we're up to.

870
00:32:06,250 --> 00:32:07,390
We're not doing it right.

871
00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:08,030
Then we'll do this.

872
00:32:08,090 --> 00:32:08,670
Then we'll do that.

873
00:32:08,770 --> 00:32:09,310
Then we'll do this.

874
00:32:09,370 --> 00:32:10,670
What are we going to do to get...

875
00:32:10,670 --> 00:32:12,350
And so after a year, they say, what

876
00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:15,230
can we do to get this information out?

877
00:32:15,270 --> 00:32:16,950
There's just nobody will pick it up.

878
00:32:17,330 --> 00:32:19,510
Let's do a fake video with this guy

879
00:32:19,510 --> 00:32:22,170
because they love him and just put it

880
00:32:22,170 --> 00:32:24,590
out there and just soak the market with

881
00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:26,650
it and let the virus take it over.

882
00:32:27,370 --> 00:32:28,810
And that's what they did.

883
00:32:30,230 --> 00:32:32,910
I'm absolutely convinced that this is Russian intelligence.

884
00:32:33,130 --> 00:32:34,590
And make sure those dopes at the No

885
00:32:34,590 --> 00:32:35,770
Agenda show see it.

886
00:32:36,370 --> 00:32:38,710
Send a copy to Curry, that guy.

887
00:32:39,090 --> 00:32:40,850
He's a sucker for the Ruskies.

888
00:32:44,090 --> 00:32:44,570
Yeah.

889
00:32:45,050 --> 00:32:47,490
Which kind of brings into question this whole

890
00:32:47,490 --> 00:32:50,470
drone attack on Putin's home.

891
00:32:51,330 --> 00:32:53,170
Yeah, I have a couple...

892
00:32:53,170 --> 00:32:54,450
I have a clip on that, but...

893
00:32:54,450 --> 00:32:57,770
I have an intro overview clip of that.

894
00:32:58,530 --> 00:32:59,410
Do you want to...

895
00:32:59,410 --> 00:32:59,750
Yeah, yeah.

896
00:32:59,830 --> 00:33:01,070
I'll play that and then you do whatever

897
00:33:01,070 --> 00:33:01,330
you want.

898
00:33:01,330 --> 00:33:03,930
From a snowy Moscow this morning, the Kremlin

899
00:33:03,930 --> 00:33:06,750
keeping up its latest flurry of accusations against

900
00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:07,230
Ukraine.

901
00:33:07,550 --> 00:33:10,230
The Kiev was trying to undermine progress towards

902
00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:12,550
a peace deal by launching a drone attack

903
00:33:12,550 --> 00:33:14,430
on one of Vladimir Putin's residences.

904
00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:16,090
This is Channel 4 again.

905
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:18,850
Ukraine has ridiculed the claims, but Russia nonetheless

906
00:33:18,850 --> 00:33:20,730
promising to toughen its stance.

907
00:33:20,970 --> 00:33:22,910
That military today releasing images of what it

908
00:33:22,910 --> 00:33:26,230
said were its Oreshnik hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles

909
00:33:26,230 --> 00:33:27,470
being deployed in Belarus.

910
00:33:27,850 --> 00:33:30,650
Russia claims Ukraine launched 91 drones in a

911
00:33:30,650 --> 00:33:32,330
mass attack on the Putin residence.

912
00:33:32,670 --> 00:33:34,050
They would have had to fly more than

913
00:33:34,050 --> 00:33:36,910
400 miles through heavily defended airspace en route

914
00:33:36,910 --> 00:33:39,450
to the target, a sprawling complex on the

915
00:33:39,450 --> 00:33:41,110
northeastern shore of Lake Valdai.

916
00:33:41,410 --> 00:33:44,130
It's self-guarded by 12 nearby air defence

917
00:33:44,130 --> 00:33:44,630
batteries.

918
00:33:45,170 --> 00:33:47,250
There are no local reports of any explosions.

919
00:33:47,670 --> 00:33:49,610
I learned about it from President Putin today.

920
00:33:49,690 --> 00:33:50,910
I was very angry about it.

921
00:33:51,250 --> 00:33:53,790
President Trump beating the Israeli prime minister yesterday

922
00:33:53,790 --> 00:33:56,630
challenged on whether US intelligence had any evidence

923
00:33:56,630 --> 00:33:57,250
it had happened.

924
00:33:57,550 --> 00:33:59,450
You're saying maybe the attack didn't take place.

925
00:33:59,490 --> 00:33:59,990
It's possible.

926
00:33:59,990 --> 00:34:02,510
I guess, but President Putin told me this

927
00:34:02,510 --> 00:34:03,170
morning it did.

928
00:34:03,410 --> 00:34:05,250
As for the timing of this, I mean,

929
00:34:05,310 --> 00:34:07,690
politically, it wouldn't be a very judicious moment

930
00:34:07,690 --> 00:34:08,810
to strike in this way.

931
00:34:08,989 --> 00:34:10,469
No, I mean, for all sorts of reasons.

932
00:34:10,590 --> 00:34:11,790
Firstly, there is...

933
00:34:11,790 --> 00:34:14,929
This is some dude from the University College

934
00:34:14,929 --> 00:34:15,510
of London.

935
00:34:15,790 --> 00:34:17,710
An informal etiquette, shall we say, that you

936
00:34:17,710 --> 00:34:19,870
don't go after the other side's leaders or

937
00:34:19,870 --> 00:34:22,130
else you face that same threat yourself.

938
00:34:22,489 --> 00:34:25,010
Secondly, it would risk doing away with all

939
00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:28,150
of the goodwill generated by Zelensky's trip to

940
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:28,570
Florida.

941
00:34:28,570 --> 00:34:31,230
And thirdly, the problem is Zelensky did in

942
00:34:31,230 --> 00:34:36,010
his Christmas address pretty openly wish for Putin's

943
00:34:36,010 --> 00:34:36,469
death.

944
00:34:36,750 --> 00:34:39,389
And so in that context, again, this would

945
00:34:39,389 --> 00:34:40,929
look a little bit too on the nose.

946
00:34:41,389 --> 00:34:42,870
So let's look at the three options.

947
00:34:42,989 --> 00:34:43,989
Well, let's listen to...

948
00:34:43,989 --> 00:34:45,230
By the way, that was the guy with

949
00:34:45,230 --> 00:34:48,389
the British accent doing his reporting.

950
00:34:49,230 --> 00:34:49,489
Yes.

951
00:34:51,310 --> 00:34:53,750
Can I say what I was going to

952
00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:53,909
say?

953
00:34:54,070 --> 00:34:54,929
So here are the options.

954
00:34:55,389 --> 00:34:56,250
It's the pauses.

955
00:34:56,430 --> 00:34:57,390
That was my pregnant pause.

956
00:34:57,390 --> 00:34:58,370
Your pregnant pause, yeah.

957
00:34:58,630 --> 00:35:00,470
Which, by the way, does cut out some

958
00:35:00,470 --> 00:35:01,590
Bluetooth headsets.

959
00:35:01,630 --> 00:35:02,010
I'm sorry.

960
00:35:02,210 --> 00:35:05,150
When we have a pause, there's still some

961
00:35:05,150 --> 00:35:07,590
Bluetooth headsets out there that see zero bytes

962
00:35:07,590 --> 00:35:10,010
and think, oh, the podcast's over and it

963
00:35:10,010 --> 00:35:10,650
disconnects.

964
00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:11,030
What?

965
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:12,050
Yeah, yeah.

966
00:35:12,070 --> 00:35:13,570
This is a recurring problem.

967
00:35:14,770 --> 00:35:15,210
Because...

968
00:35:15,210 --> 00:35:16,170
That's idiotic.

969
00:35:16,270 --> 00:35:18,430
Well, because of the noise gate, there is

970
00:35:18,430 --> 00:35:18,770
zero.

971
00:35:18,990 --> 00:35:20,250
I mean, it's not like a little bit.

972
00:35:20,290 --> 00:35:22,650
It's just there's zero noise and the Bluetooth

973
00:35:22,650 --> 00:35:25,090
thinks, oh, it's quiet, so I'll just disconnect.

974
00:35:25,350 --> 00:35:31,430
Oh, heaven forbid we actually have a production

975
00:35:31,970 --> 00:35:35,370
that produces quiet that is actually quiet.

976
00:35:35,410 --> 00:35:36,250
Quiet time.

977
00:35:36,430 --> 00:35:38,670
As opposed to a buzzing sound or whatever

978
00:35:38,670 --> 00:35:39,390
the rest of it is.

979
00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:42,750
Well, the solution, of course, is just to

980
00:35:42,750 --> 00:35:44,670
listen to us at 10x and you'll be

981
00:35:44,670 --> 00:35:44,910
fine.

982
00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:49,390
So the options are, one, Ukraine did this.

983
00:35:50,030 --> 00:35:53,070
B, it was a false flag by Russia.

984
00:35:53,410 --> 00:35:56,210
Or C, which I think is more likely

985
00:35:56,770 --> 00:35:59,790
is that something, maybe not 91 drones, but

986
00:35:59,790 --> 00:36:02,430
something was lit up by the North Sea

987
00:36:02,430 --> 00:36:03,850
Nexus to...

988
00:36:03,850 --> 00:36:05,450
Which is where my clips go.

989
00:36:05,510 --> 00:36:09,270
To interrupt the negotiations between...

990
00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:11,430
Which is where my clips go.

991
00:36:11,470 --> 00:36:13,630
Well, I heard you, so I'm ready for

992
00:36:13,630 --> 00:36:14,090
your clips.

993
00:36:14,850 --> 00:36:17,530
Well, first, just as the intro clip, to

994
00:36:17,530 --> 00:36:19,570
counter your intro clip, I have one from

995
00:36:19,570 --> 00:36:21,690
NTD that we can play before I play

996
00:36:21,690 --> 00:36:23,690
the clips of the Nexus clips.

997
00:36:23,770 --> 00:36:24,010
Okay.

998
00:36:24,290 --> 00:36:26,430
Two days after an alleged attack on Russian

999
00:36:26,430 --> 00:36:29,830
President Vladimir Putin, Moscow is now releasing video

1000
00:36:29,830 --> 00:36:31,010
footage for the first time.

1001
00:36:31,550 --> 00:36:34,370
According to the Kremlin, Ukraine launched over 90

1002
00:36:34,370 --> 00:36:36,950
drones at Putin's residence on Monday overnight.

1003
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:40,230
After international calls for evidence to back up

1004
00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:42,490
the claim, Russia released this video on Wednesday

1005
00:36:42,490 --> 00:36:44,510
showing one drone in a dark forest.

1006
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,970
Neither the location nor the date of the

1007
00:36:46,970 --> 00:36:48,890
video could be independently verified.

1008
00:36:49,570 --> 00:36:52,150
Zelensky denies the claims of an attack, saying

1009
00:36:52,150 --> 00:36:54,770
Russia is lying to undermine the peace process

1010
00:36:54,770 --> 00:36:57,070
which had been developing fast before the alleged

1011
00:36:57,070 --> 00:36:57,510
attack.

1012
00:36:58,130 --> 00:37:00,450
Also on Wednesday, President Trump shared a New

1013
00:37:00,450 --> 00:37:03,070
York Post article which states that the drone

1014
00:37:03,070 --> 00:37:04,710
strike likely never happened.

1015
00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:07,470
A day earlier, the U.S. ambassador to

1016
00:37:07,470 --> 00:37:10,070
NATO also cast doubt on the accusation that

1017
00:37:10,070 --> 00:37:11,830
Ukraine attacked Putin's residence.

1018
00:37:12,650 --> 00:37:15,210
He said it's unclear whether the attack actually

1019
00:37:15,210 --> 00:37:15,630
happened.

1020
00:37:16,230 --> 00:37:18,290
The ambassador added that he wants to see

1021
00:37:18,290 --> 00:37:19,910
U.S. intelligence on the incident.

1022
00:37:20,610 --> 00:37:22,970
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues working on a

1023
00:37:22,970 --> 00:37:26,190
possible peace deal, speaking with Ukrainian and European

1024
00:37:26,190 --> 00:37:26,830
officials.

1025
00:37:27,470 --> 00:37:30,490
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff says they, quote, focused

1026
00:37:30,490 --> 00:37:32,590
on how to move the discussions forward in

1027
00:37:32,590 --> 00:37:35,190
a practical way on behalf of President Trump's

1028
00:37:35,190 --> 00:37:35,930
peace process.

1029
00:37:36,390 --> 00:37:39,790
Okay, well, I think option C is still

1030
00:37:39,790 --> 00:37:43,790
the most viable, that the North Sea nexus

1031
00:37:43,790 --> 00:37:47,290
was fiddling about to disrupt these peace talks

1032
00:37:47,290 --> 00:37:49,930
because they are warmongers and they want war.

1033
00:37:50,510 --> 00:37:51,150
They are.

1034
00:37:51,830 --> 00:37:52,670
They just want war.

1035
00:37:52,670 --> 00:37:54,270
They want their children to die.

1036
00:37:55,790 --> 00:37:57,010
Yes, they do.

1037
00:37:57,170 --> 00:37:58,410
Like, oh, you're going to go into the

1038
00:37:58,410 --> 00:37:59,290
army now, son.

1039
00:37:59,810 --> 00:37:59,970
Yeah.

1040
00:38:01,970 --> 00:38:06,950
Hey, child sacrifice is powerful aphrodisiac.

1041
00:38:07,450 --> 00:38:09,670
So, yeah, yeah.

1042
00:38:10,190 --> 00:38:12,910
Well, here is the, this is a woman

1043
00:38:12,910 --> 00:38:16,910
that showed up on, uh, of this Prometheus

1044
00:38:16,910 --> 00:38:17,430
project.

1045
00:38:18,090 --> 00:38:19,250
Hold on, hold on.

1046
00:38:19,630 --> 00:38:21,570
You know that I introduced them to the

1047
00:38:21,570 --> 00:38:22,930
podcast three months ago.

1048
00:38:23,090 --> 00:38:23,610
Yeah.

1049
00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:24,170
Okay.

1050
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:26,450
Well, here she is giving her spiel and

1051
00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:28,210
which makes, by the way, what you just

1052
00:38:28,210 --> 00:38:29,970
said makes it sound as though you stole

1053
00:38:29,970 --> 00:38:31,670
the nexus idea from them.

1054
00:38:31,790 --> 00:38:33,090
No, I just, no.

1055
00:38:33,250 --> 00:38:34,450
Let me just remind you.

1056
00:38:35,490 --> 00:38:38,290
I played the clips from Tom Luongo from

1057
00:38:38,290 --> 00:38:40,050
Gold Goats and Guns.

1058
00:38:40,190 --> 00:38:43,310
I played three clips from the LaRouche ladies,

1059
00:38:43,610 --> 00:38:45,830
which is their former LaRouche ladies.

1060
00:38:46,530 --> 00:38:48,830
And I said the only thing they're doing

1061
00:38:48,830 --> 00:38:52,150
wrong is they're calling it the Dutch Anglo,

1062
00:38:52,150 --> 00:38:53,950
the Dutch Anglo system.

1063
00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:56,110
And that's when, on that very podcast, I

1064
00:38:56,110 --> 00:38:58,430
said, I'm calling it the North Sea Nexus.

1065
00:38:59,070 --> 00:39:00,090
So I give them full credit.

1066
00:39:00,110 --> 00:39:02,750
So she, this woman who is another one

1067
00:39:02,750 --> 00:39:05,430
who I think is a LaRouche because Barbara

1068
00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:05,970
Kokinda?

1069
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:07,250
Yeah.

1070
00:39:07,690 --> 00:39:08,650
Or Susan Kokinda.

1071
00:39:08,730 --> 00:39:09,050
I'm sorry.

1072
00:39:09,130 --> 00:39:09,850
The other one's Barbara.

1073
00:39:10,230 --> 00:39:11,330
I don't know one of the Kokindas.

1074
00:39:11,590 --> 00:39:12,710
They're both LaRouche ladies.

1075
00:39:12,850 --> 00:39:13,790
Okay, they were LaRouche.

1076
00:39:14,290 --> 00:39:16,870
Maybe you should explain who LaRouche was.

1077
00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:18,870
Lyndon LaRouche.

1078
00:39:19,030 --> 00:39:20,910
You said it like Mark Levin.

1079
00:39:20,910 --> 00:39:22,110
Slowly I turn.

1080
00:39:22,410 --> 00:39:23,110
Mark Levin.

1081
00:39:23,910 --> 00:39:25,110
Lyndon LaRouche.

1082
00:39:25,550 --> 00:39:28,350
Lyndon LaRouche was this guy with this unbelievably

1083
00:39:29,950 --> 00:39:32,990
affectatious delivery of, I wish I could do

1084
00:39:32,990 --> 00:39:33,530
his voice.

1085
00:39:34,510 --> 00:39:38,750
But he was a, he is in, he's

1086
00:39:38,750 --> 00:39:42,750
in a conspiracy category all his own.

1087
00:39:42,990 --> 00:39:44,550
No, this is before I was in the

1088
00:39:44,550 --> 00:39:44,850
game.

1089
00:39:46,450 --> 00:39:49,950
He's very singular and people should look him

1090
00:39:49,950 --> 00:39:52,930
up because it's very compelling.

1091
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:57,050
It's like David Icke without the reptilian stuff.

1092
00:39:59,830 --> 00:40:01,710
But it's close to it.

1093
00:40:01,850 --> 00:40:05,790
But it's this complex system how the world

1094
00:40:05,790 --> 00:40:09,470
works that is, it makes some sort of

1095
00:40:09,470 --> 00:40:12,470
sense once they hypnotize you into believing it.

1096
00:40:12,930 --> 00:40:16,770
This woman has the, she has those elements

1097
00:40:16,770 --> 00:40:19,130
but at the same time this is closer

1098
00:40:19,130 --> 00:40:22,070
to what your thesis is based on.

1099
00:40:22,450 --> 00:40:26,010
Except she kind of takes the nexus and

1100
00:40:26,010 --> 00:40:28,930
instead of making it a nexus it's mostly

1101
00:40:28,930 --> 00:40:30,090
just the British monarchy.

1102
00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:35,390
And, but it falls in line with what

1103
00:40:35,390 --> 00:40:38,030
we're thinking as opposed to what the mainstream

1104
00:40:38,030 --> 00:40:40,910
podcasting verse is thinking.

1105
00:40:41,210 --> 00:40:41,930
Because it's all Israel.

1106
00:40:41,930 --> 00:40:43,430
Israel, Israel, Israel.

1107
00:40:43,970 --> 00:40:44,190
The Jews.

1108
00:40:44,390 --> 00:40:46,610
Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel.

1109
00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:48,690
Just asking questions.

1110
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:53,050
So it's, so this is, so it has,

1111
00:40:53,170 --> 00:40:53,870
it's fun.

1112
00:40:54,370 --> 00:40:55,730
And I have a bunch of these, they're,

1113
00:40:56,450 --> 00:40:57,670
one of them is long but the rest

1114
00:40:57,670 --> 00:40:58,430
of them are pretty short.

1115
00:40:58,850 --> 00:41:01,370
I've heard discussing this and it brings, it

1116
00:41:01,370 --> 00:41:04,670
shows that somebody sent this clip earlier this

1117
00:41:04,670 --> 00:41:06,850
morning even though I picked it up yesterday.

1118
00:41:07,010 --> 00:41:08,230
But they sent it and said, this is

1119
00:41:08,230 --> 00:41:10,610
proof that Adam is right about the, it's

1120
00:41:10,610 --> 00:41:11,150
no proof.

1121
00:41:11,250 --> 00:41:12,510
There's no proof in here.

1122
00:41:12,730 --> 00:41:13,610
And yes it is.

1123
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:14,770
It's proof I was right.

1124
00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:15,770
There's no proof.

1125
00:41:15,850 --> 00:41:17,090
This is all a thesis.

1126
00:41:18,090 --> 00:41:20,810
And it's, and it's, it's stretched a bit

1127
00:41:20,810 --> 00:41:23,610
because there's some moments where she's adding to

1128
00:41:23,610 --> 00:41:23,730
it.

1129
00:41:23,770 --> 00:41:25,950
But the fact that she's got clips from

1130
00:41:25,950 --> 00:41:28,070
the, from the House of Lords and they're

1131
00:41:28,070 --> 00:41:28,990
all concerned about.

1132
00:41:28,990 --> 00:41:29,770
Oh, I've seen this one.

1133
00:41:29,850 --> 00:41:30,550
Yeah, this is good.

1134
00:41:30,930 --> 00:41:31,590
This is good.

1135
00:41:31,610 --> 00:41:32,290
This is good.

1136
00:41:32,710 --> 00:41:34,730
And the House of Lords is all bent

1137
00:41:34,730 --> 00:41:35,070
out of shape.

1138
00:41:35,110 --> 00:41:36,290
I'm sorry, play the clip.

1139
00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:37,230
I'll stop talking.

1140
00:41:37,390 --> 00:41:38,970
Yes, this is indeed Susan Kokinda.

1141
00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:42,010
National security strategy is a mortal threat to

1142
00:41:42,010 --> 00:41:42,850
the British empire.

1143
00:41:42,990 --> 00:41:44,830
And we're going to activate all of our

1144
00:41:44,830 --> 00:41:46,870
networks in the United States to try and

1145
00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:47,330
stop it.

1146
00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:49,650
They're saying this because they're terrified.

1147
00:41:50,430 --> 00:41:52,350
But if you listen to the noise in

1148
00:41:52,350 --> 00:41:55,370
Washington and in social media, you'd think Trump

1149
00:41:55,370 --> 00:41:57,210
was the one losing control.

1150
00:41:57,810 --> 00:42:00,070
Because in the last few days after the

1151
00:42:00,070 --> 00:42:03,170
president met with Zelensky and Netanyahu, the political

1152
00:42:03,170 --> 00:42:04,510
world has exploded.

1153
00:42:05,170 --> 00:42:07,310
Now, if you listen to Mike Pompeo and

1154
00:42:07,310 --> 00:42:09,910
the neocons, Trump sold out to Putin.

1155
00:42:10,230 --> 00:42:12,510
If you listen to the anti-war crowd,

1156
00:42:12,890 --> 00:42:14,230
he sold out to Zelensky.

1157
00:42:14,390 --> 00:42:15,230
And what about Israel?

1158
00:42:15,230 --> 00:42:17,810
Follow the MAGA wars or Marjorie Taylor Greene.

1159
00:42:18,270 --> 00:42:20,150
You're being told he surrendered to Israel.

1160
00:42:20,550 --> 00:42:22,390
Or can we just do America?

1161
00:42:23,590 --> 00:42:24,330
They're all wrong.

1162
00:42:24,810 --> 00:42:26,590
What you just witnessed wasn't a sellout.

1163
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:27,590
It was a takeover.

1164
00:42:28,230 --> 00:42:30,170
It was the first live fire test of

1165
00:42:30,170 --> 00:42:32,170
the very strategy the British are trying to

1166
00:42:32,170 --> 00:42:32,390
kill.

1167
00:42:33,090 --> 00:42:34,250
Trump hasn't surrendered.

1168
00:42:34,790 --> 00:42:37,450
He signed the do not resuscitate order for

1169
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:38,790
the British post-war world.

1170
00:42:39,250 --> 00:42:41,630
And that's why they're not celebrating in London

1171
00:42:41,630 --> 00:42:42,370
or Brussels.

1172
00:42:42,590 --> 00:42:43,690
I like the writing.

1173
00:42:44,010 --> 00:42:44,990
The writing is good.

1174
00:42:44,990 --> 00:42:46,770
The do not resuscitate.

1175
00:42:46,930 --> 00:42:49,070
That's mature writing.

1176
00:42:49,790 --> 00:42:53,030
They realized the special relationship, their ability to

1177
00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:56,270
manipulate American power for their wars is over.

1178
00:42:56,670 --> 00:42:58,650
As long as Donald Trump is calling the

1179
00:42:58,650 --> 00:42:59,010
shots.

1180
00:42:59,810 --> 00:43:00,730
I'm Susan Kokenda.

1181
00:43:01,390 --> 00:43:04,710
I became politically active way back in 1968.

1182
00:43:04,990 --> 00:43:05,250
Whoa.

1183
00:43:05,570 --> 00:43:06,550
Campaigning for Robert F.

1184
00:43:06,590 --> 00:43:07,630
How old is she?

1185
00:43:09,330 --> 00:43:11,870
She looks like my age.

1186
00:43:12,870 --> 00:43:13,210
Yeah.

1187
00:43:13,210 --> 00:43:15,110
She's a septuagenarian for sure.

1188
00:43:15,330 --> 00:43:16,110
She has a.

1189
00:43:16,590 --> 00:43:17,330
She's got to be.

1190
00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:19,990
And I was the same as her.

1191
00:43:20,310 --> 00:43:22,790
I can parallel it because I was a

1192
00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:23,550
Kennedy guy.

1193
00:43:24,310 --> 00:43:25,590
You were a Democrat.

1194
00:43:25,850 --> 00:43:26,330
You were a liberal.

1195
00:43:26,530 --> 00:43:26,950
I was a Democrat.

1196
00:43:27,210 --> 00:43:28,350
I was all for Robert F.

1197
00:43:28,450 --> 00:43:28,630
Kennedy.

1198
00:43:28,810 --> 00:43:29,330
And then I went to.

1199
00:43:29,870 --> 00:43:32,310
Then I was for George McGovern and that

1200
00:43:32,310 --> 00:43:34,810
was the worst candidate they've ever featured.

1201
00:43:34,950 --> 00:43:37,670
He went to Berkeley to give a lecture.

1202
00:43:37,790 --> 00:43:38,910
I went to and talked to him.

1203
00:43:38,970 --> 00:43:39,730
I got to meet him.

1204
00:43:39,930 --> 00:43:40,670
And did you get his autograph?

1205
00:43:40,670 --> 00:43:42,270
The nicest guy in the world.

1206
00:43:42,830 --> 00:43:43,150
What?

1207
00:43:43,390 --> 00:43:44,110
Did you get his autograph?

1208
00:43:45,290 --> 00:43:48,530
You know, I'm looking back on my life.

1209
00:43:48,990 --> 00:43:49,590
Oh, wow.

1210
00:43:49,830 --> 00:43:51,430
And I'm looking back on my life.

1211
00:43:51,710 --> 00:43:51,910
Dire.

1212
00:43:52,170 --> 00:43:53,290
Thinking of the autograph.

1213
00:43:53,850 --> 00:43:54,790
Autographs I missed.

1214
00:43:55,330 --> 00:43:56,790
I could have retired.

1215
00:43:57,330 --> 00:43:59,770
I could have retired on Stan Lee alone.

1216
00:43:59,970 --> 00:44:01,890
Stan Lee shows up at tech TV.

1217
00:44:03,550 --> 00:44:05,270
And he I'm chatting with him.

1218
00:44:05,450 --> 00:44:06,190
Stuart Stanley.

1219
00:44:06,430 --> 00:44:08,010
No one knows who Stan Lee is.

1220
00:44:08,130 --> 00:44:08,390
Come on.

1221
00:44:08,410 --> 00:44:10,690
Stan Lee is a Marvel Comics guy.

1222
00:44:10,870 --> 00:44:11,070
Everybody.

1223
00:44:11,570 --> 00:44:11,930
Boomers.

1224
00:44:13,070 --> 00:44:15,010
Everybody knows who Stan Lee is.

1225
00:44:15,850 --> 00:44:20,130
And so I finally brought 10 comic books.

1226
00:44:21,150 --> 00:44:23,230
And he had him sign 10 comic books.

1227
00:44:23,350 --> 00:44:24,050
Stanley Stanley.

1228
00:44:24,430 --> 00:44:27,950
There was auctioning those for $10,000 a

1229
00:44:27,950 --> 00:44:28,290
pop.

1230
00:44:28,450 --> 00:44:28,610
Wow.

1231
00:44:28,670 --> 00:44:30,390
You'd retire for a whole year.

1232
00:44:30,790 --> 00:44:30,890
Awesome.

1233
00:44:30,990 --> 00:44:32,750
Well, I could retire for a few months,

1234
00:44:32,930 --> 00:44:34,390
but I'm just saying that's just one of

1235
00:44:34,390 --> 00:44:35,050
many guys.

1236
00:44:35,150 --> 00:44:36,950
I dropped the ball on getting an autograph.

1237
00:44:37,030 --> 00:44:40,370
And you are the proto archivist.

1238
00:44:40,370 --> 00:44:42,210
And yet you drop the ball on the

1239
00:44:42,210 --> 00:44:42,790
autographs.

1240
00:44:42,830 --> 00:44:43,570
That's interesting.

1241
00:44:44,290 --> 00:44:45,270
It's pathetic.

1242
00:44:46,010 --> 00:44:49,410
I became politically active way back in 1968.

1243
00:44:50,070 --> 00:44:51,390
Campaigning for Robert F.

1244
00:44:51,450 --> 00:44:54,270
Kennedy, Sr. In California when he was assassinated

1245
00:44:54,270 --> 00:44:55,550
for decades.

1246
00:44:55,710 --> 00:44:58,110
My colleagues at Promethean Action and I have

1247
00:44:58,110 --> 00:44:59,410
been in the real fight.

1248
00:44:59,850 --> 00:45:01,910
So take it from a political veteran.

1249
00:45:02,250 --> 00:45:04,970
If enough of you understand what Trump is

1250
00:45:04,970 --> 00:45:08,350
doing, we're going to celebrate the 250th anniversary

1251
00:45:08,350 --> 00:45:09,570
of our independence.

1252
00:45:09,790 --> 00:45:10,150
In victory.

1253
00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:13,050
In 2026 by finishing the job.

1254
00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:15,510
So I just as a little aside about

1255
00:45:15,510 --> 00:45:17,090
the Promethean Action.

1256
00:45:17,850 --> 00:45:19,950
Ever since I introduced it to the show

1257
00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:21,570
and we started with the North Sea Nexus.

1258
00:45:22,050 --> 00:45:24,930
At least twice, sometimes five times a day.

1259
00:45:25,270 --> 00:45:26,450
Someone will send me a link.

1260
00:45:26,570 --> 00:45:28,030
They do three videos a week.

1261
00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:29,790
Someone will send me a link and say,

1262
00:45:29,930 --> 00:45:31,670
here's proof you were right.

1263
00:45:31,790 --> 00:45:32,330
This is it.

1264
00:45:32,490 --> 00:45:32,650
Proof.

1265
00:45:32,710 --> 00:45:34,930
So what I'm happy about is that they're

1266
00:45:34,930 --> 00:45:38,430
getting traction because they are on this day

1267
00:45:38,430 --> 00:45:39,030
and night.

1268
00:45:39,030 --> 00:45:41,430
They do a live stream for like five

1269
00:45:41,430 --> 00:45:43,010
hours on Thursdays.

1270
00:45:43,010 --> 00:45:43,250
Oh, good.

1271
00:45:43,490 --> 00:45:43,690
Yeah.

1272
00:45:43,750 --> 00:45:45,790
So I'm happy that they're getting traction with

1273
00:45:45,790 --> 00:45:46,310
this.

1274
00:45:46,710 --> 00:45:48,110
We got other things to do.

1275
00:45:48,750 --> 00:45:49,590
Like Iran.

1276
00:45:49,830 --> 00:45:50,070
Whatever.

1277
00:45:50,430 --> 00:45:51,070
Like it's like.

1278
00:45:51,270 --> 00:45:51,690
There's things.

1279
00:45:51,830 --> 00:45:52,810
There's other things besides.

1280
00:45:53,070 --> 00:45:53,350
Not much.

1281
00:45:53,410 --> 00:45:54,710
It's all connected.

1282
00:45:54,990 --> 00:45:55,890
It's all connected.

1283
00:45:56,250 --> 00:45:58,270
It might be connected, but it's like.

1284
00:45:58,770 --> 00:46:00,130
There's a lot of work to do besides

1285
00:46:00,130 --> 00:46:01,150
just our heartburn.

1286
00:46:01,290 --> 00:46:03,390
We got TikTok videos to play.

1287
00:46:03,470 --> 00:46:03,890
Come on.

1288
00:46:04,070 --> 00:46:05,350
I do have a couple.

1289
00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:06,250
I know you do.

1290
00:46:06,350 --> 00:46:07,030
I know you do.

1291
00:46:07,130 --> 00:46:08,050
And they're gems.

1292
00:46:08,050 --> 00:46:10,390
But anyway, let's continue with the North Sea

1293
00:46:10,390 --> 00:46:10,990
Nexus.

1294
00:46:11,430 --> 00:46:13,810
The 2025 National Security Strategy.

1295
00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:16,230
And this week, Trump used it to clear

1296
00:46:16,230 --> 00:46:16,690
the board.

1297
00:46:17,310 --> 00:46:19,370
So let's start with Russia and Ukraine.

1298
00:46:19,950 --> 00:46:22,250
The British and the EU sent Zelensky to

1299
00:46:22,250 --> 00:46:23,410
Mar-a-Lago with a mission.

1300
00:46:23,750 --> 00:46:25,610
Did you basically cut up the whole 15

1301
00:46:25,610 --> 00:46:26,290
minute report?

1302
00:46:26,910 --> 00:46:28,370
No, in fact, it didn't even start at

1303
00:46:28,370 --> 00:46:28,690
the beginning.

1304
00:46:28,730 --> 00:46:29,190
Oh, OK.

1305
00:46:29,470 --> 00:46:30,030
Demand open-ended.

1306
00:46:30,030 --> 00:46:31,350
The problem is she.

1307
00:46:32,010 --> 00:46:34,830
Her problem is a couple of things with

1308
00:46:34,830 --> 00:46:35,690
the 15 minute.

1309
00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:37,050
I got about.

1310
00:46:37,290 --> 00:46:38,790
I got a lot of minutes, but not

1311
00:46:38,790 --> 00:46:39,310
the whole thing.

1312
00:46:39,390 --> 00:46:41,150
The problem is she repeats herself two or

1313
00:46:41,150 --> 00:46:41,770
three times.

1314
00:46:42,010 --> 00:46:43,790
And she also then she goes into a

1315
00:46:43,790 --> 00:46:46,170
sales pitch for the Promethean, whatever the hell

1316
00:46:46,170 --> 00:46:46,450
it's called.

1317
00:46:46,710 --> 00:46:48,930
Promethean Action and their book, How the British

1318
00:46:48,930 --> 00:46:49,850
Kill Our Presidents.

1319
00:46:49,870 --> 00:46:51,630
She goes on and on and on.

1320
00:46:51,830 --> 00:46:53,830
So I cut all that stuff out.

1321
00:46:53,910 --> 00:46:54,450
Oh, OK.

1322
00:46:54,610 --> 00:46:54,930
All right.

1323
00:46:55,030 --> 00:46:56,850
So it's a stripped down version of the

1324
00:46:56,850 --> 00:46:57,550
LaRouche ladies.

1325
00:46:57,950 --> 00:46:58,170
Nice.

1326
00:46:58,950 --> 00:47:02,950
Demand open-ended security guarantees, NATO membership and

1327
00:47:02,950 --> 00:47:04,190
keep the war machine running.

1328
00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:07,850
They're operating off of Winston Churchill's postwar.

1329
00:47:07,850 --> 00:47:09,390
By the way, that's something you'd never want

1330
00:47:09,390 --> 00:47:09,810
to see.

1331
00:47:10,310 --> 00:47:10,430
What?

1332
00:47:11,430 --> 00:47:13,650
Stripped down LaRouche ladies.

1333
00:47:14,890 --> 00:47:17,270
They're operating off of Winston Churchill.

1334
00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:19,410
I bet you she was really cute in

1335
00:47:19,410 --> 00:47:20,370
her 20s and 30s.

1336
00:47:21,250 --> 00:47:22,310
I'm going to look her up.

1337
00:47:22,630 --> 00:47:25,790
Postwar playbook that says Russia is our permanent

1338
00:47:25,790 --> 00:47:26,230
enemy.

1339
00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:29,750
But Trump is operating off his new national

1340
00:47:29,750 --> 00:47:30,890
security strategy.

1341
00:47:31,050 --> 00:47:32,410
And here's what it says.

1342
00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:34,730
It is a core interest of the United

1343
00:47:34,730 --> 00:47:38,710
States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities

1344
00:47:38,710 --> 00:47:42,990
in Ukraine to prevent unintended escalation or expansion

1345
00:47:42,990 --> 00:47:46,770
of the war and reestablish strategic stability with

1346
00:47:46,770 --> 00:47:49,590
Russia and then a little later and to

1347
00:47:49,590 --> 00:47:52,190
end the perception and prevent the reality of

1348
00:47:52,190 --> 00:47:55,410
NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.

1349
00:47:55,850 --> 00:47:58,670
That is what is driving Trump's negotiating position

1350
00:47:58,670 --> 00:47:59,470
with Zelensky.

1351
00:48:00,030 --> 00:48:02,390
So how did the empire respond to Trump's

1352
00:48:02,390 --> 00:48:03,310
refusal to bend?

1353
00:48:03,970 --> 00:48:07,730
Immediately after the meeting, drones attacked President Putin's

1354
00:48:07,730 --> 00:48:08,890
residence in Valdai.

1355
00:48:09,430 --> 00:48:11,370
The Russians were furious, but they called it

1356
00:48:11,370 --> 00:48:13,050
a slap in the face to Trump.

1357
00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:15,890
Now ask yourself, was this really just Zelensky

1358
00:48:15,890 --> 00:48:18,530
going rogue or was the British hand at

1359
00:48:18,530 --> 00:48:18,810
work?

1360
00:48:19,390 --> 00:48:21,250
We're not alone in pointing out that British

1361
00:48:21,250 --> 00:48:23,730
intelligence plays a bigger role in guiding these

1362
00:48:23,730 --> 00:48:25,710
drone systems than the Ukrainians do.

1363
00:48:25,710 --> 00:48:28,590
As the conservative treehouse blog put it in

1364
00:48:28,590 --> 00:48:30,650
their coverage of the attack, I suspect the

1365
00:48:30,650 --> 00:48:31,310
British did it.

1366
00:48:31,630 --> 00:48:33,350
So this wasn't a military strike.

1367
00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:35,870
It was a sabotage operation designed to blow

1368
00:48:35,870 --> 00:48:37,510
up the Trump Putin peace channel.

1369
00:48:37,970 --> 00:48:39,850
But Trump and Putin refused to take the

1370
00:48:39,850 --> 00:48:40,130
bait.

1371
00:48:40,410 --> 00:48:41,570
They aren't pawns anymore.

1372
00:48:41,950 --> 00:48:43,090
Here's Trump's response.

1373
00:48:43,450 --> 00:48:45,810
President Putin told me about it early in

1374
00:48:45,810 --> 00:48:46,150
the morning.

1375
00:48:46,230 --> 00:48:47,950
He said he was attacked.

1376
00:48:48,270 --> 00:48:48,930
That's no good.

1377
00:48:49,310 --> 00:48:49,970
It's no good.

1378
00:48:50,450 --> 00:48:52,470
Don't forget, you know, the tomahawks.

1379
00:48:52,550 --> 00:48:53,690
I stopped the tomahawks.

1380
00:48:53,750 --> 00:48:54,470
I didn't want that.

1381
00:48:54,470 --> 00:48:56,350
Because we're talking about, you know, it's a

1382
00:48:56,350 --> 00:48:57,490
delicate period of time.

1383
00:48:58,050 --> 00:48:59,290
This is not the right time.

1384
00:48:59,450 --> 00:49:02,650
It's one thing to be offensive because they're

1385
00:49:02,650 --> 00:49:03,110
offensive.

1386
00:49:03,490 --> 00:49:05,230
It's another thing to attack his house.

1387
00:49:05,990 --> 00:49:07,810
It's not the right time to do any

1388
00:49:07,810 --> 00:49:08,230
of that.

1389
00:49:09,930 --> 00:49:12,010
Now is not the time to attack his

1390
00:49:12,010 --> 00:49:12,450
house.

1391
00:49:12,530 --> 00:49:14,350
That's later, not right now.

1392
00:49:15,450 --> 00:49:17,250
So who is he talking to?

1393
00:49:17,310 --> 00:49:19,310
The president is always talking to somebody.

1394
00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:21,890
So was he in this case?

1395
00:49:22,110 --> 00:49:22,970
That was just at one of those mini

1396
00:49:22,970 --> 00:49:23,790
press conferences.

1397
00:49:23,790 --> 00:49:26,110
I know, but was he hypothetically speaking to

1398
00:49:26,110 --> 00:49:26,690
Ukraine?

1399
00:49:27,850 --> 00:49:30,770
Or is there an undertone there?

1400
00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:32,510
You know what I mean?

1401
00:49:32,550 --> 00:49:34,950
I think he was hypothetically speaking to the

1402
00:49:34,950 --> 00:49:35,390
nexus.

1403
00:49:35,770 --> 00:49:37,730
That's what I would presume, yes.

1404
00:49:38,410 --> 00:49:40,610
He's saying, look, we figured out what you're

1405
00:49:40,610 --> 00:49:40,930
up to.

1406
00:49:41,070 --> 00:49:43,330
No, this is not the time.

1407
00:49:43,590 --> 00:49:44,850
No, stop it.

1408
00:49:47,510 --> 00:49:48,790
Yeah, this is an issue.

1409
00:49:48,970 --> 00:49:49,570
OK, onward.

1410
00:49:49,830 --> 00:49:53,450
And Putin's spokesman, Ushakov, reported that in that

1411
00:49:53,450 --> 00:49:57,650
conversation with Trump, Vladimir Putin emphasized that the

1412
00:49:57,650 --> 00:50:01,050
Russian side intends to continue close and productive

1413
00:50:01,050 --> 00:50:04,130
work with its U.S. partners in searching

1414
00:50:04,130 --> 00:50:05,590
for ways to achieve peace.

1415
00:50:06,650 --> 00:50:09,430
Now, watch how this same grand strategy explains

1416
00:50:09,430 --> 00:50:11,570
the panic over the Netanyahu meeting.

1417
00:50:12,210 --> 00:50:14,510
For decades, the British have used the Mideast

1418
00:50:14,510 --> 00:50:15,770
as the cockpit of war.

1419
00:50:15,970 --> 00:50:20,370
They've created Zionism and Islamic fundamentalism to play

1420
00:50:20,370 --> 00:50:24,010
the superpowers and victim nations against each other.

1421
00:50:24,510 --> 00:50:27,190
The new national security strategy flips the world

1422
00:50:27,190 --> 00:50:27,690
over.

1423
00:50:28,490 --> 00:50:31,450
It accurately states that for a half-century,

1424
00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:35,530
American foreign policy prioritized the Mideast above all

1425
00:50:35,530 --> 00:50:38,510
other regions because it was a major energy

1426
00:50:38,510 --> 00:50:41,850
supplier and it described it as a prime

1427
00:50:41,850 --> 00:50:43,970
theater of superpower competition.

1428
00:50:44,350 --> 00:50:46,870
But the NSS goes on to say those

1429
00:50:46,870 --> 00:50:52,610
dynamics no longer hold because superpower competition has

1430
00:50:52,610 --> 00:50:55,310
given way to great power jockeying in which

1431
00:50:55,310 --> 00:50:58,230
the United States retains the most enviable position

1432
00:50:58,230 --> 00:51:03,130
reinforced by President Trump's successful revitalization of our

1433
00:51:03,130 --> 00:51:06,190
alliances in the Gulf with other Arab partners

1434
00:51:06,190 --> 00:51:07,250
and with Israel.

1435
00:51:07,830 --> 00:51:08,330
Catch that?

1436
00:51:09,110 --> 00:51:11,830
Revitalization of our alliances in the Gulf with

1437
00:51:11,830 --> 00:51:14,310
other Arab partners and with Israel.

1438
00:51:14,810 --> 00:51:18,270
Not Israel first, despite what Tucker Carlson thinks.

1439
00:51:18,590 --> 00:51:20,830
Trump is saying we're not playing your games

1440
00:51:20,830 --> 00:51:23,830
any longer and he is deliberately and quietly

1441
00:51:23,830 --> 00:51:27,010
removing countries from the grip of the geopoliticians

1442
00:51:27,010 --> 00:51:31,010
and treating them as independent nations with common

1443
00:51:31,010 --> 00:51:32,450
interests with the United States.

1444
00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:36,430
Not as pawns or gas stations or triggers

1445
00:51:36,430 --> 00:51:37,730
for religious prophecy.

1446
00:51:39,350 --> 00:51:42,870
I mean, I can't argue that.

1447
00:51:42,970 --> 00:51:45,430
That is what I see happening along with

1448
00:51:45,430 --> 00:51:46,610
the core five.

1449
00:51:47,670 --> 00:51:49,670
The other core, the core five.

1450
00:51:49,850 --> 00:51:51,330
Yes, that's what that would be the end

1451
00:51:51,330 --> 00:51:51,670
point.

1452
00:51:52,050 --> 00:51:52,190
Yeah.

1453
00:51:52,250 --> 00:51:53,030
So, OK, we'll go.

1454
00:51:53,190 --> 00:51:54,210
I think we're on clip four.

1455
00:51:54,910 --> 00:51:56,570
So the British Empire isn't going to go

1456
00:51:56,570 --> 00:51:57,590
down without a fight.

1457
00:51:58,090 --> 00:52:01,630
On December 11th, not too long after Trump

1458
00:52:01,630 --> 00:52:05,150
released his national security strategy, the British House

1459
00:52:05,150 --> 00:52:06,490
of Lords was all ready.

1460
00:52:06,930 --> 00:52:10,050
They held a pearl clutching session about the

1461
00:52:10,050 --> 00:52:12,330
NSS and what they had to do about

1462
00:52:12,330 --> 00:52:12,470
it.

1463
00:52:12,530 --> 00:52:14,270
I thought, by the way, just in advance,

1464
00:52:14,270 --> 00:52:16,150
I thought this was kind of weak after

1465
00:52:16,150 --> 00:52:16,650
the setup.

1466
00:52:16,810 --> 00:52:19,530
I'm like, OK, maybe.

1467
00:52:19,910 --> 00:52:21,230
Yeah, no, this is where she has.

1468
00:52:21,550 --> 00:52:22,270
This is weak.

1469
00:52:22,950 --> 00:52:25,170
There's two clips here and they're both of

1470
00:52:25,170 --> 00:52:25,290
them.

1471
00:52:25,350 --> 00:52:26,910
You have to read a lot into it.

1472
00:52:26,930 --> 00:52:28,790
But then again, if you look at it

1473
00:52:28,790 --> 00:52:31,470
from the perspective of British, of the British,

1474
00:52:32,010 --> 00:52:34,110
you know, they understate so much.

1475
00:52:34,110 --> 00:52:36,590
That is, I mean, as a policy, as

1476
00:52:36,590 --> 00:52:37,910
a way of communicating.

1477
00:52:38,230 --> 00:52:38,470
Fair point.

1478
00:52:38,510 --> 00:52:40,210
That is quite likely they were saying a

1479
00:52:40,210 --> 00:52:42,050
lot more than we can understand.

1480
00:52:42,050 --> 00:52:45,630
First, Lord Beamish happily reported that the U

1481
00:52:45,630 --> 00:52:48,570
.S. Congress doesn't agree with Trump and his

1482
00:52:48,570 --> 00:52:50,090
national security strategy.

1483
00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:52,630
Last week, the U.S. Congress, on a

1484
00:52:52,630 --> 00:52:57,190
bipartisan basis, passed the National Defense Authorization Act,

1485
00:52:57,270 --> 00:52:59,270
which was signed by the president on Thursday

1486
00:52:59,270 --> 00:52:59,710
night.

1487
00:53:00,150 --> 00:53:02,330
That act gives a commitment to U.S.

1488
00:53:02,390 --> 00:53:07,550
troops in Europe, also highlights that it sees

1489
00:53:07,550 --> 00:53:09,230
Russia as a threat, not just to Europe,

1490
00:53:09,310 --> 00:53:12,090
but to the United States, and also gives

1491
00:53:12,090 --> 00:53:15,390
a commitment to future U.S. commitment to

1492
00:53:15,390 --> 00:53:19,670
providing the senior military figure for SACEUR, the

1493
00:53:19,670 --> 00:53:21,650
leader of the commander of NATO.

1494
00:53:22,530 --> 00:53:25,250
Does my honorable friend, my dear noble friend,

1495
00:53:25,310 --> 00:53:27,210
agree that we should be looking at actions

1496
00:53:27,970 --> 00:53:29,830
rather than some of the wild statements come

1497
00:53:29,830 --> 00:53:30,670
from the White House?

1498
00:53:31,710 --> 00:53:35,510
Then Lord Lancaster reported that he had just

1499
00:53:35,510 --> 00:53:38,130
been in the U.S. where he discussed

1500
00:53:38,130 --> 00:53:40,490
the problem of the national security strategy.

1501
00:53:40,490 --> 00:53:42,790
with members of the U.S. Congress.

1502
00:53:43,030 --> 00:53:45,370
I was in Washington, D.C. last week

1503
00:53:45,370 --> 00:53:48,090
with other members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly,

1504
00:53:48,210 --> 00:53:51,210
and when the national security strategy was discussed

1505
00:53:51,210 --> 00:53:53,430
with our fellow elected members in the U

1506
00:53:53,430 --> 00:53:57,230
.S., their message was clear that NSSs come

1507
00:53:57,230 --> 00:53:59,790
and go, sometimes they're implemented and sometimes they

1508
00:53:59,790 --> 00:54:02,130
don't, but we should judge by what Congress

1509
00:54:02,130 --> 00:54:02,570
passes.

1510
00:54:02,770 --> 00:54:05,990
And the National Defense Appropriation Act last week

1511
00:54:05,990 --> 00:54:08,590
delivered an extra eight billion pounds to European

1512
00:54:08,590 --> 00:54:11,030
defense and put a floor of some 76

1513
00:54:11,030 --> 00:54:13,210
,000 troops, U.S. troops in Europe.

1514
00:54:13,550 --> 00:54:14,310
Did you hear that?

1515
00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:17,010
National security strategies come and go.

1516
00:54:17,670 --> 00:54:19,590
Does that remind you of what we reported

1517
00:54:19,590 --> 00:54:22,970
last week, how outlets of empire like Chatham

1518
00:54:22,970 --> 00:54:25,790
House and the Council on Foreign Relations want

1519
00:54:25,790 --> 00:54:27,410
to outlast the president?

1520
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,180
Yeah, I've been noticing this too, this idea

1521
00:54:33,180 --> 00:54:34,840
of outlasting the president.

1522
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:40,180
Yes, I mean, even some Republicans are kind

1523
00:54:40,180 --> 00:54:41,440
of letting that shine through.

1524
00:54:41,620 --> 00:54:43,100
Well, Schumer brings it up too.

1525
00:54:43,420 --> 00:54:45,740
Schumer was out, Schumer's a street for these

1526
00:54:45,740 --> 00:54:45,960
guys.

1527
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:47,480
Yeah, three more years, we're good.

1528
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,220
Yeah, we can put three more years up.

1529
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:51,520
But it also shows you that who's really

1530
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,320
running shows is the military-industrial complex.

1531
00:54:55,060 --> 00:55:00,500
The whole NDAA was at least $150 billion

1532
00:55:00,500 --> 00:55:03,120
more than Trump even wanted with his big,

1533
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,220
beautiful battleships.

1534
00:55:05,220 --> 00:55:06,260
Where'd that come from?

1535
00:55:06,780 --> 00:55:07,540
From Congress.

1536
00:55:10,100 --> 00:55:11,420
Yeah, the battleship.

1537
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:11,680
Yeah.

1538
00:55:12,660 --> 00:55:14,100
So which clip are we on?

1539
00:55:14,260 --> 00:55:15,160
I think five, four.

1540
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:15,400
Five, yes.

1541
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:16,900
Good, we're getting there.

1542
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:17,280
All right.

1543
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,920
How they're maintaining their Trojan horses in the

1544
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:22,300
Congress and the rest of the political landscape,

1545
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:25,500
the RINOs, the never-Trumpers like Mike Pence

1546
00:55:25,500 --> 00:55:26,480
and the Koch interests.

1547
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:29,520
So while too many in the MAGA base

1548
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:30,420
are caught up.

1549
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:35,860
In a previous episode, she mentioned that Chatham

1550
00:55:35,860 --> 00:55:38,260
House has put all of their eggs in

1551
00:55:38,260 --> 00:55:39,500
the Mike Pence basket.

1552
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,620
And that they're pushing that Chatham House, so

1553
00:55:43,620 --> 00:55:47,560
Reed, the British intelligence community are pushing for

1554
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,260
Pence to run in 2028.

1555
00:55:50,340 --> 00:55:51,500
Yeah, I'm on their mailing list.

1556
00:55:51,580 --> 00:55:52,680
I get a lot of good stuff from

1557
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:52,940
them.

1558
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,460
In the fabricated faction fights and secondary issues,

1559
00:55:56,780 --> 00:55:58,700
who frankly are acting like five-year-olds

1560
00:55:58,700 --> 00:56:03,280
demanding headline-grabbing indictments right now, Donald Trump

1561
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,560
is dismantling a strategic architecture that has been

1562
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,060
in place since 1945.

1563
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,580
An architecture that's used the United States as

1564
00:56:12,580 --> 00:56:15,920
the dumb giant in the British Empire's globalist

1565
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:16,280
schemes.

1566
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:17,820
And the British know it.

1567
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,520
But even bigger than Trump's strategic revolution is

1568
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:22,720
the economic revolution.

1569
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:25,780
Because that's what this is really all about.

1570
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:27,820
Go back to the end of World War

1571
00:56:27,820 --> 00:56:30,860
II and the summit in Casablanca, where Franklin

1572
00:56:30,860 --> 00:56:34,260
Roosevelt said to Winston Churchill, Winston, we didn't

1573
00:56:34,260 --> 00:56:37,320
fight that war to reestablish British 18th century

1574
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:37,820
methods.

1575
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,440
And Churchill countered and said, what do you

1576
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:41,240
mean by that?

1577
00:56:41,380 --> 00:56:44,380
And FDR said, a system that takes more

1578
00:56:44,380 --> 00:56:46,760
out of a country than it puts back

1579
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:47,140
in.

1580
00:56:47,860 --> 00:56:49,820
Well, Roosevelt died before the war ended.

1581
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,800
And the result was the ultimate triumph of

1582
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:56,260
British 18th century methods or a system which

1583
00:56:56,260 --> 00:56:57,980
takes more out than it puts in.

1584
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:00,160
Look at what has happened to the United

1585
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:00,640
States.

1586
00:57:01,260 --> 00:57:03,280
We used to have a middle and working

1587
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:07,260
class based on a robust manufacturing sector and

1588
00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:08,780
a tradition of family farms.

1589
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,960
And here's what's happened since the end of

1590
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:11,680
World War II.

1591
00:57:12,380 --> 00:57:16,540
In 1950, 31% of the US population

1592
00:57:16,540 --> 00:57:18,140
was engaged in manufacturing.

1593
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:19,920
Today, it's only 8%.

1594
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,640
And if you add other goods producing sectors

1595
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:27,340
like agriculture and mining and transportation, we used

1596
00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:31,160
to have 55% engaged in productive activity.

1597
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,360
Today, it is less than 20.

1598
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,080
Our good paying jobs, our industry, our infrastructure,

1599
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,960
our family farms, they disappeared along with the

1600
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:40,600
middle class.

1601
00:57:41,940 --> 00:57:44,220
Okay, Captain Obvious, got it.

1602
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,540
I forget, I didn't realize, the one thing

1603
00:57:48,540 --> 00:57:50,860
I learned in all these clips is this

1604
00:57:50,860 --> 00:57:55,100
meeting in Casablanca where Roosevelt called out Churchill

1605
00:57:55,100 --> 00:57:57,020
and then died.

1606
00:57:57,300 --> 00:57:58,580
So they couldn't do anything.

1607
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,740
But okay, so this wraps it up a

1608
00:58:02,740 --> 00:58:03,120
little bit.

1609
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,000
Our economic sovereignty was stripped by British 18th

1610
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,440
century methods of financialization and free trade.

1611
00:58:10,860 --> 00:58:15,280
In exchange, we imported everything, food, cheap crap,

1612
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:17,260
and our trade deficit exploded.

1613
00:58:17,740 --> 00:58:20,560
In other words, more was taken out than

1614
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:21,440
was put back in.

1615
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:23,740
Donald Trump is reversing that.

1616
00:58:23,740 --> 00:58:26,280
That's why tariffs are such a powerful weapon

1617
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,960
and are so hated by the global elites.

1618
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:30,180
And they're working.

1619
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,180
We're rebuilding our manufacturing base and our economic

1620
00:58:34,180 --> 00:58:34,820
independence.

1621
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:39,920
In November alone, ground was broken on 136

1622
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,020
new factories, 78 processing plants.

1623
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,400
This is where you're supposed to say, what

1624
00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:49,020
about the Ohio plant?

1625
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,060
What about the Ohio Foxconn plant?

1626
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:52,520
That's the one.

1627
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:53,480
No, it's not the Ohio.

1628
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:55,740
No, the Foxconn plant was in Minnesota.

1629
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:56,820
Minnesota, yeah, whatever.

1630
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,460
Yeah, I don't remember where it was.

1631
00:58:58,740 --> 00:58:59,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1632
00:58:59,740 --> 00:59:01,500
So do you think that this is true?

1633
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:02,920
Over a hundred factories?

1634
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,420
I don't know.

1635
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:06,860
I would like to see some evidence of

1636
00:59:06,860 --> 00:59:07,000
it.

1637
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,180
The ground was broken on 136 new factories,

1638
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,020
78 processing plants, and 199 new warehouses.

1639
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,500
But even more important than physical growth is

1640
00:59:18,500 --> 00:59:21,380
the reawakening of a productive spirit within the

1641
00:59:21,380 --> 00:59:22,000
population.

1642
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,420
And especially among young people.

1643
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:25,560
Look at this headline.

1644
00:59:26,020 --> 00:59:28,700
Look at the response of young people in

1645
00:59:28,700 --> 00:59:32,800
blue Massachusetts to the opportunity of getting vocational

1646
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:36,040
training and having a productive job rather than

1647
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,500
a dead-end liberal arts degree with tons

1648
00:59:38,500 --> 00:59:38,880
of debt.

1649
00:59:39,100 --> 00:59:39,660
Yes, yes.

1650
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:41,320
And even more important than that is the

1651
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,160
promise of the future of going beyond where

1652
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:45,720
we were at the end of World War

1653
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:49,180
II before we surrendered to British 18th century

1654
00:59:49,180 --> 00:59:49,680
methods.

1655
00:59:50,140 --> 00:59:52,040
You know this, so a couple things.

1656
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:54,420
And I don't think we ever should play

1657
00:59:54,420 --> 00:59:57,220
a full Promethean action report again.

1658
00:59:57,780 --> 00:59:58,380
You don't have to.

1659
00:59:58,440 --> 00:59:59,180
That was pretty long.

1660
00:59:59,420 --> 01:00:00,660
You heard the summary one.

1661
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:01,440
That was quite good.

1662
01:00:01,560 --> 01:00:02,520
Yeah, it was pretty good.

1663
01:00:04,260 --> 01:00:07,860
Just for the, because we're trying to figure

1664
01:00:07,860 --> 01:00:10,120
out some things like, you know, who does

1665
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,020
Nick Fuentes work for if he works for

1666
01:00:12,020 --> 01:00:12,480
anybody?

1667
01:00:13,500 --> 01:00:15,780
He is without a doubt the voice of

1668
01:00:15,780 --> 01:00:19,160
a generation of the Zumerwaffen.

1669
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,760
But I was just thinking, you know, because

1670
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,380
there's all, because someone sent me a link

1671
01:00:26,380 --> 01:00:27,620
and said, you need to watch the whole

1672
01:00:27,620 --> 01:00:28,220
Nick Fuentes.

1673
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:30,040
You need, you know, you can't be our

1674
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,780
uncle if you don't know what's going on.

1675
01:00:32,740 --> 01:00:34,600
So I watched the whole, it was actually

1676
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,020
five hours, of which two hours was live.

1677
01:00:37,020 --> 01:00:38,580
This is, you have to be careful which

1678
01:00:38,580 --> 01:00:39,200
one you pick.

1679
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:40,160
Well, it doesn't matter.

1680
01:00:40,260 --> 01:00:42,880
It was five hours of pre-roll and

1681
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:43,560
pre-show.

1682
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:45,680
Oh no, no, it was always.

1683
01:00:45,900 --> 01:00:46,440
It was good.

1684
01:00:46,980 --> 01:00:49,020
Well, if you get away from the pre

1685
01:00:49,020 --> 01:00:49,420
-roll.

1686
01:00:49,500 --> 01:00:51,520
I loved watching the pre-roll stuff.

1687
01:00:51,540 --> 01:00:53,680
There's two hours of pre-roll.

1688
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:54,860
I was sick.

1689
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:56,480
So, but just sat on the couch and

1690
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:57,060
watched the pre-roll.

1691
01:00:57,060 --> 01:00:57,580
You were sick.

1692
01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,320
That's not going to make you healthy.

1693
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,080
And then I watched his full show and,

1694
01:01:02,140 --> 01:01:03,760
you know, he's hitting all the hot buttons.

1695
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,620
Like there's no jobs.

1696
01:01:05,740 --> 01:01:07,980
We can't find anyone to have sex with,

1697
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:10,060
you know, everything's falling apart.

1698
01:01:10,260 --> 01:01:11,420
Everything's fake and gay.

1699
01:01:11,980 --> 01:01:13,440
You know, I'm just, when I say fake

1700
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,540
and gay, that's G-H-E-Y.

1701
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,880
Just all of this stuff.

1702
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:22,560
He, in good talk show format, and he

1703
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,420
has so much of, I really feel some

1704
01:01:25,420 --> 01:01:26,340
Limbaugh in there.

1705
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:28,120
He's got, he's, you're right.

1706
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,300
He's very, very good.

1707
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:31,640
He could also, he could be a preacher

1708
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:32,340
almost.

1709
01:01:33,340 --> 01:01:36,400
And, but there's never any solutions.

1710
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,500
It's all just, everything's no good.

1711
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,360
And then it's, you know, and he's kind

1712
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:42,100
of slips in.

1713
01:01:42,220 --> 01:01:43,460
It's, you know, it's the black people.

1714
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:44,140
It's the Jews.

1715
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:44,700
It's the women.

1716
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,320
That's, that's kind of how it, how it

1717
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:47,700
flows.

1718
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:48,780
But it was interesting.

1719
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,220
I thought, you know, let me just make

1720
01:01:50,220 --> 01:01:54,520
a list between boomers and zoomers for a

1721
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:54,680
moment.

1722
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:58,040
Now I'm a boomer adjacent, but in this

1723
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:00,680
case, I'll just be boomer slash gen X.

1724
01:02:01,180 --> 01:02:04,480
So, you know, well, we've got climate change

1725
01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,780
and, and this is also horrible.

1726
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,240
Oh, when I was a kid, we had

1727
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:11,560
the ozone layer, an acid rain, we were

1728
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:12,660
going to burn up.

1729
01:02:14,340 --> 01:02:15,660
The acid rain was my favorite.

1730
01:02:15,660 --> 01:02:17,480
The drug crisis.

1731
01:02:17,740 --> 01:02:18,440
The ozone, that's a good one.

1732
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:18,760
Yeah.

1733
01:02:18,860 --> 01:02:18,960
Yeah.

1734
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:20,040
The drug crisis.

1735
01:02:20,260 --> 01:02:22,940
You die from a pill on Snapchat, bro.

1736
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,160
We had, we had crack, crack for the

1737
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:27,640
first time.

1738
01:02:27,660 --> 01:02:29,340
You have no idea what the, what the

1739
01:02:29,340 --> 01:02:30,880
streets look like with crack.

1740
01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:33,440
It was bad.

1741
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,460
Algorithms and all this horrible internet, you know,

1742
01:02:39,460 --> 01:02:40,360
the media panic.

1743
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:42,140
We had satanic panic.

1744
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,000
We were all going to die.

1745
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,620
The back masking, the Satanists were everywhere.

1746
01:02:46,740 --> 01:02:48,440
The Luciferian society.

1747
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:50,880
We had Tipper Gore telling us we couldn't

1748
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:51,900
listen to music.

1749
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:54,440
You know, not Tipper Gore.

1750
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:54,940
Yeah.

1751
01:02:55,020 --> 01:02:58,480
You know, so the zoomers had ratings on

1752
01:02:58,480 --> 01:02:59,580
the music albums.

1753
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:00,000
Yeah.

1754
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:00,420
Yeah.

1755
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,600
The zoomers, you know, we, we don't, there's

1756
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,300
no company we could be loyal to.

1757
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:05,720
We have to have side hustles.

1758
01:03:05,940 --> 01:03:09,180
Dude, we had greed is good and yuppies.

1759
01:03:09,500 --> 01:03:11,740
And you had to work 80 hours and

1760
01:03:11,740 --> 01:03:13,480
do Coke just to keep up with it.

1761
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,360
I love the yuppies.

1762
01:03:15,500 --> 01:03:16,200
The yuppies.

1763
01:03:16,420 --> 01:03:16,660
Yes.

1764
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:18,980
Oh, there's war everywhere.

1765
01:03:19,380 --> 01:03:22,800
In 1980, we all had to actually register

1766
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:26,180
for the draft because we had conflicts in

1767
01:03:26,180 --> 01:03:31,340
Lebanon, Granada, Central America, you know, proxy wars.

1768
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,840
So does it sound familiar?

1769
01:03:34,140 --> 01:03:35,400
Campus protests.

1770
01:03:35,820 --> 01:03:37,120
Oh, oh yes.

1771
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:38,020
It's a pro power.

1772
01:03:38,140 --> 01:03:38,580
You know what we have?

1773
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:38,940
That's new.

1774
01:03:39,300 --> 01:03:41,020
No, no, that's novel.

1775
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,200
Campus protests are brand new.

1776
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,440
We've never had them before.

1777
01:03:44,620 --> 01:03:47,060
We had South Africa.

1778
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,120
We had, you know, divest from South Africa.

1779
01:03:51,300 --> 01:03:52,960
I'm not going to play Sun City.

1780
01:03:53,620 --> 01:03:57,500
We had entire bands putting together benefit records.

1781
01:03:59,060 --> 01:04:01,140
Chad, GPT is going to take your job.

1782
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,920
The actual job started to go away in

1783
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:09,040
America with robots, with robotics for car companies.

1784
01:04:09,500 --> 01:04:11,860
We went through all this, you know?

1785
01:04:11,860 --> 01:04:14,040
Oh, well, you know, we're not going to

1786
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:15,040
have social security.

1787
01:04:15,180 --> 01:04:15,740
Social security.

1788
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,640
We got taken off pensions.

1789
01:04:19,780 --> 01:04:21,120
And here's your 401k.

1790
01:04:21,220 --> 01:04:21,900
Good luck.

1791
01:04:22,700 --> 01:04:24,680
It's your problem now.

1792
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,920
And consumer debt.

1793
01:04:28,540 --> 01:04:31,240
We literally were given credit cards.

1794
01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:32,520
Hey, have fun.

1795
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:33,740
It's going to be great.

1796
01:04:34,340 --> 01:04:35,800
We got screwed with all that.

1797
01:04:37,860 --> 01:04:41,720
And everyone's all like, you know, true crime.

1798
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,260
Kids are getting killed.

1799
01:04:43,820 --> 01:04:45,820
You know, we got to look at, analyze

1800
01:04:45,820 --> 01:04:46,660
this on the podcast.

1801
01:04:46,780 --> 01:04:48,360
We know we had, we had the same

1802
01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:48,620
thing.

1803
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,100
Only we had milk cartons and we looked

1804
01:04:51,100 --> 01:04:52,540
at all the milk cartons with the kids

1805
01:04:52,540 --> 01:04:53,540
on the milk cartons.

1806
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,480
It's always the same.

1807
01:04:56,620 --> 01:04:58,240
It just has a different name.

1808
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,080
The only thing we didn't have was parents

1809
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:03,720
who would let us live rent free at

1810
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:04,900
home until we were 30.

1811
01:05:05,660 --> 01:05:07,100
That's what we didn't have.

1812
01:05:08,700 --> 01:05:10,040
So spare me.

1813
01:05:10,780 --> 01:05:13,960
We, and John, you're, you're half a generation

1814
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:14,660
older than me.

1815
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:16,580
I think you can come up with examples

1816
01:05:16,580 --> 01:05:17,780
exactly the same.

1817
01:05:17,900 --> 01:05:19,120
So I didn't even bring it back to

1818
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:22,000
HUAC and the riots back in the day.

1819
01:05:22,140 --> 01:05:22,540
HUAC?

1820
01:05:23,100 --> 01:05:23,980
Yeah, HUAC.

1821
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:24,340
HUAC.

1822
01:05:24,380 --> 01:05:26,680
House Un-American Activities Committee's riots.

1823
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,600
So in the fifties.

1824
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:33,140
And so, yeah, yeah.

1825
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,880
The problem, the thing is, of course, is

1826
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:39,100
that it just nothing's changed that much.

1827
01:05:39,100 --> 01:05:41,940
No, it's, it's a cycle.

1828
01:05:41,940 --> 01:05:43,960
And it's just going around and around and

1829
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:44,060
around.

1830
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,100
Only this time it's a little different.

1831
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,380
We have podcasters and they come up with

1832
01:05:49,380 --> 01:05:51,280
all kinds of connections.

1833
01:05:52,420 --> 01:05:58,500
Once, once October 7th happened, then we got

1834
01:05:58,500 --> 01:06:01,160
the punk rock podcasters and he was already

1835
01:06:01,160 --> 01:06:03,100
doing it, you know, and in a way,

1836
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,080
Kanye, you know, people just come out and

1837
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:06,100
say, hey man, it's the Jews.

1838
01:06:07,540 --> 01:06:11,780
And it's so interesting to deconstruct how that

1839
01:06:11,780 --> 01:06:14,220
all fits together because Epstein is a big

1840
01:06:14,220 --> 01:06:14,900
part of it.

1841
01:06:15,340 --> 01:06:19,160
Because of course the Jews, Israel has Mossad

1842
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:22,580
and Epstein and it's pedophilia.

1843
01:06:22,940 --> 01:06:25,320
And therefore immediately all of our Congress is

1844
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,680
being blackmailed, blackmailed, blackmailed, you know, so they

1845
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,300
have to vote whatever AIPAC tells them to.

1846
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,160
And, and it's, and of course there was

1847
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,940
no blackmailing going on during the Edgar Hoover

1848
01:06:39,940 --> 01:06:42,000
era of the FBI.

1849
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,200
Nothing was going on.

1850
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,140
When the FBI was just a blackmailing operation.

1851
01:06:47,860 --> 01:06:50,640
And, and you know, so you, you have

1852
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,220
this, you know, then there's the Christian Zionism

1853
01:06:53,220 --> 01:06:53,780
angle.

1854
01:06:54,100 --> 01:06:57,900
So of course you get Tucker hounding Ted

1855
01:06:57,900 --> 01:06:59,180
Cruz, who's an idiot.

1856
01:06:59,700 --> 01:07:01,760
Said, well, my Bible tells me I need

1857
01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:02,580
to bless Israel.

1858
01:07:02,820 --> 01:07:05,520
You know, and then Tucker, of course, convolutes

1859
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:06,900
that to, oh, you mean the government of

1860
01:07:06,900 --> 01:07:07,240
Israel?

1861
01:07:07,700 --> 01:07:09,360
So all of the, all it's, and it's,

1862
01:07:09,860 --> 01:07:11,740
and you know, I think there's a movement

1863
01:07:11,740 --> 01:07:12,320
afoot.

1864
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:14,240
You can kind of see it with all

1865
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:18,200
these podcasters, young podcasters moving towards Catholicism.

1866
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,620
And then there's all kinds of theories, but

1867
01:07:21,620 --> 01:07:26,100
basically in replacement theology, the Jews don't matter

1868
01:07:26,100 --> 01:07:26,560
anymore.

1869
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,400
So anyone who is still for quote unquote

1870
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:31,640
Israel, and that's a big question is what

1871
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:32,160
is that?

1872
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,160
Obviously is in the bag for Israel.

1873
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:38,280
And that's where all of this kind of

1874
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:38,760
comes from.

1875
01:07:38,820 --> 01:07:40,420
And then you can just easily say, well,

1876
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,200
you know, you, you, you, you're, you're a

1877
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:43,880
shill for Israel.

1878
01:07:43,980 --> 01:07:44,880
You're taking shekels.

1879
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,060
But the thing that really got me, and

1880
01:07:47,060 --> 01:07:48,920
I, and I picked up this clip from

1881
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,160
Candace Owens, and she was on the Theo

1882
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:51,940
Vaughn show.

1883
01:07:52,620 --> 01:07:56,100
And this is a perfect Mangelman type experiment

1884
01:07:56,100 --> 01:07:57,980
and Mangelman amnesia.

1885
01:07:58,540 --> 01:08:01,080
You know, so when, when someone says something

1886
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,980
and you know, it's demonstrably wrong, how can

1887
01:08:03,980 --> 01:08:05,500
you believe anything they say?

1888
01:08:05,860 --> 01:08:07,560
And, and I, and I understand.

1889
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:09,180
And the only one who's pretty good at

1890
01:08:09,180 --> 01:08:11,640
it is Nick Fuentes, but everybody else, you

1891
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,500
know, just, they just throw stuff out there.

1892
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:15,720
And, you know, when you're putting together a

1893
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:18,420
theory and you pull in historical events and,

1894
01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,840
you know, oh, well this happened, that happened.

1895
01:08:20,840 --> 01:08:24,500
And, and therefore the Jews, but she, she

1896
01:08:24,500 --> 01:08:25,700
went really awry.

1897
01:08:25,740 --> 01:08:27,100
I don't even know how old this interview

1898
01:08:27,100 --> 01:08:27,359
is.

1899
01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:29,260
Doesn't seem like it's too old, but here

1900
01:08:29,260 --> 01:08:31,020
she's talking about AIPAC.

1901
01:08:32,100 --> 01:08:34,180
And, and I know I've, I sound like

1902
01:08:34,180 --> 01:08:36,600
a broken record on this one because I

1903
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:40,439
remain that it's being funded by the military

1904
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:44,779
industrial complex through the American Israeli Education Foundation.

1905
01:08:45,260 --> 01:08:48,460
That's where you see Raytheon and Boeing and

1906
01:08:48,460 --> 01:08:49,939
all that big money going in.

1907
01:08:50,899 --> 01:08:53,359
But she pulled out a couple of really

1908
01:08:53,359 --> 01:09:01,359
interesting lies or untruths or just mistakes that

1909
01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:04,020
she absolutely presents as fact.

1910
01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:06,279
And has it fact-checked in real time

1911
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:07,020
with Wikipedia.

1912
01:09:07,460 --> 01:09:08,819
Israel is actually the exception.

1913
01:09:09,380 --> 01:09:11,160
They are the only country that's allowed to

1914
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:12,100
lobby Americans.

1915
01:09:12,580 --> 01:09:15,300
Like everyone else has to register as a

1916
01:09:15,300 --> 01:09:17,880
foreign agent under FARA.

1917
01:09:18,279 --> 01:09:19,160
Like with AIPAC or whatever?

1918
01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:22,260
Yeah, so AIPAC, the backstory, by the way,

1919
01:09:22,340 --> 01:09:25,020
before JFK got shot, he was fighting AIPAC.

1920
01:09:25,140 --> 01:09:27,160
They were previously called, I'm blanking on this.

1921
01:09:27,300 --> 01:09:28,439
It was, you can look it up.

1922
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:30,880
And he was literally saying, you have to

1923
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:31,939
register under the Foreign Act.

1924
01:09:32,100 --> 01:09:32,779
Is that true?

1925
01:09:32,899 --> 01:09:34,060
It's like 1,000% true.

1926
01:09:34,140 --> 01:09:34,760
And you should look it up.

1927
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:35,899
1,000%.

1928
01:09:35,899 --> 01:09:37,680
So she says Foreign Act, but what she's

1929
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,180
talking about is the Foreign Agent Registration Act,

1930
01:09:42,319 --> 01:09:46,180
which Manafort, Manafort, Trump's guy went to jail

1931
01:09:46,180 --> 01:09:50,240
for because he wasn't registered as a foreign

1932
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:50,740
lobby.

1933
01:09:50,740 --> 01:09:52,960
So if you are being paid by a

1934
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,480
foreign government, you have to, it's not a

1935
01:09:54,480 --> 01:09:54,940
big deal.

1936
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,460
You just register and then you can give

1937
01:09:58,460 --> 01:10:00,140
money to campaigns, et cetera.

1938
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:01,420
But then it has to be clear it's

1939
01:10:01,420 --> 01:10:02,300
coming from Israel.

1940
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,820
So she's 1,000% sure that this

1941
01:10:04,820 --> 01:10:07,800
is the only group of its kind that

1942
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,880
doesn't have to register for some mysterious reason.

1943
01:10:11,020 --> 01:10:12,000
Fact check that live.

1944
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:12,840
Let's fact check.

1945
01:10:13,060 --> 01:10:14,600
He was fighting with what is today known

1946
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,760
as AIPAC, as it was renamed AZCP.

1947
01:10:18,900 --> 01:10:19,700
I don't know what that stood for.

1948
01:10:19,700 --> 01:10:25,000
In 1959, AZCPA was renamed AIPAC, and American

1949
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,400
Israel Public Affairs Committee, reflecting a broader membership

1950
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:27,940
and mission.

1951
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,160
Yeah, so JFK told them that they had

1952
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:31,700
to register under FARA.

1953
01:10:33,020 --> 01:10:36,220
And so American Zionist Council, that's exactly what

1954
01:10:36,220 --> 01:10:36,640
it was called.

1955
01:10:36,860 --> 01:10:39,760
In 1962, President, look at the last paragraph.

1956
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,640
In 1962, President John F.

1957
01:10:41,700 --> 01:10:43,460
Kennedy and his brother Bobby as a US

1958
01:10:43,460 --> 01:10:46,120
Attorney General forced the AZC to register as

1959
01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:46,840
a foreign agent.

1960
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,360
In doing so, they were barred from making

1961
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,440
monetary contributions to US officials.

1962
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:52,160
Who was barred?

1963
01:10:52,220 --> 01:10:52,640
AZC?

1964
01:10:52,700 --> 01:10:54,500
Yeah, so AIPAC, for lack of a better

1965
01:10:54,500 --> 01:10:54,700
term.

1966
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,660
They were called AZC back then, but continued

1967
01:10:56,660 --> 01:10:58,580
to send out newsletters and hold events with

1968
01:10:58,580 --> 01:11:00,200
a nonprofit tax exemption.

1969
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:03,960
And then what happened was he was shot.

1970
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:08,340
Okay, so let's just understand what Candace is

1971
01:11:08,340 --> 01:11:08,720
saying.

1972
01:11:09,140 --> 01:11:11,920
She's saying, because John F.

1973
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:18,020
Kennedy wanted the American Zionist Council to register

1974
01:11:18,020 --> 01:11:19,820
under FARA, they killed him.

1975
01:11:19,980 --> 01:11:21,520
So they are the only, the reason why

1976
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,120
I'm bringing this up is not to further

1977
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:23,400
conspiracy theories.

1978
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:24,320
They're the only country?

1979
01:11:24,440 --> 01:11:26,780
They're the only country that's allowed to lobby

1980
01:11:26,780 --> 01:11:29,300
Americans that do not, are not registered under

1981
01:11:29,300 --> 01:11:29,860
the FARA Act.

1982
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:31,860
But for whatever reason, Israel is an exception

1983
01:11:31,860 --> 01:11:32,360
to this.

1984
01:11:32,420 --> 01:11:34,280
And the reason is because JFK got shot.

1985
01:11:34,700 --> 01:11:36,080
Otherwise, they would have been under this.

1986
01:11:36,100 --> 01:11:37,420
So that is the reason that they're allowed

1987
01:11:37,420 --> 01:11:37,900
to do this.

1988
01:11:38,100 --> 01:11:39,700
John, does that sound true to you?

1989
01:11:41,700 --> 01:11:43,940
Well, I'm not sure why you're playing this.

1990
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:46,380
Didn't you do this exact same presentation on

1991
01:11:46,380 --> 01:11:47,580
your podcast with Jimmy?

1992
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,140
I'm playing a piece of it.

1993
01:11:49,220 --> 01:11:50,400
I'm not doing the full thing.

1994
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:51,920
I just want to do the Candace Owens

1995
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:52,240
bit.

1996
01:11:52,860 --> 01:11:55,820
Because this isn't, I mean, don't you ever

1997
01:11:55,820 --> 01:11:57,700
talk about stuff you talked about on the

1998
01:11:57,700 --> 01:11:58,120
Horowitz?

1999
01:11:58,660 --> 01:11:59,000
No.

2000
01:11:59,820 --> 01:12:00,560
Yes, you do.

2001
01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:01,920
I ask you all the time.

2002
01:12:02,020 --> 01:12:03,400
No, only because you ask me.

2003
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,360
I refuse to bring it into the show

2004
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:06,000
voluntarily.

2005
01:12:06,180 --> 01:12:06,700
But this is.

2006
01:12:06,820 --> 01:12:08,560
But I just, and I'm not condemning you

2007
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:08,900
for that.

2008
01:12:08,940 --> 01:12:09,880
But I don't understand.

2009
01:12:10,220 --> 01:12:11,960
I mean, we know Candace is nuts.

2010
01:12:12,620 --> 01:12:15,280
And I don't, I'm not sure what the

2011
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:16,160
point of this is.

2012
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,020
I mean, I understand what you're saying.

2013
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:19,300
And it is idiotic.

2014
01:12:19,480 --> 01:12:21,760
But I didn't get it much.

2015
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,280
I didn't get much out of it when

2016
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:24,180
you did it with Jimmy.

2017
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:26,920
I'm not sure what your point is.

2018
01:12:27,580 --> 01:12:27,940
My point.

2019
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:29,720
Candace is nuts and she's crazy.

2020
01:12:29,940 --> 01:12:32,360
And I think we've gotten that part.

2021
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:38,940
This is an interesting question.

2022
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:43,000
If you don't see the continuous, it's the

2023
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:45,580
Jews thing, continuous, that all of this is

2024
01:12:45,580 --> 01:12:46,020
the Jews.

2025
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,160
You didn't hear what Kokinda just said.

2026
01:12:49,600 --> 01:12:52,880
She just said in MAGA, it's Israel, it's

2027
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:53,460
the Jews.

2028
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:55,260
Yeah, but I think that she made that

2029
01:12:55,260 --> 01:12:55,600
point.

2030
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:57,100
And we've made the point before.

2031
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,420
OK, so I'm not sure why we're making

2032
01:12:59,420 --> 01:12:59,860
it again.

2033
01:13:00,180 --> 01:13:01,080
Fine, I'm fine.

2034
01:13:01,780 --> 01:13:03,640
You continue whatever you want to do.

2035
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,480
People can go listen to my podcast with

2036
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:05,720
Jimmy.

2037
01:13:05,900 --> 01:13:06,280
Go ahead.

2038
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:08,520
It was more complete.

2039
01:13:09,260 --> 01:13:11,900
I was only making one point about AIPAC.

2040
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,120
That's all I wanted to do.

2041
01:13:13,180 --> 01:13:13,760
It's fine.

2042
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,740
Yeah, but you've made that point before.

2043
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:16,840
You said so at the beginning.

2044
01:13:17,060 --> 01:13:18,220
You said right at the beginning, you said

2045
01:13:18,220 --> 01:13:19,660
I've made this point, I've beaten it to

2046
01:13:19,660 --> 01:13:19,880
death.

2047
01:13:20,020 --> 01:13:23,940
I've never made this point, which is that

2048
01:13:23,940 --> 01:13:27,600
they are not the only country that has

2049
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:29,520
this kind of lobbying organization.

2050
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:31,540
That was the only point I wanted to

2051
01:13:31,540 --> 01:13:31,720
make.

2052
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:34,520
And I was almost there, but it's OK.

2053
01:13:35,740 --> 01:13:38,100
Well, you don't have to get puffy about

2054
01:13:38,100 --> 01:13:38,220
it.

2055
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,620
It's just that I've heard this already.

2056
01:13:40,700 --> 01:13:42,520
You've not heard this on this show.

2057
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,860
You have not heard this on this show.

2058
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:48,600
Well, I didn't know you're going to start

2059
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,480
recycling stuff that you do on Pastor Jimmy's

2060
01:13:51,480 --> 01:13:51,740
show.

2061
01:13:52,580 --> 01:13:54,720
OK, fine, John, whatever.

2062
01:13:55,420 --> 01:13:55,960
I'm fine.

2063
01:13:57,420 --> 01:13:58,820
People can go listen to that.

2064
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:00,640
I was just trying to bring in something

2065
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:01,720
that I thought was relevant.

2066
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,860
But I'm sorry you're so bored after I

2067
01:14:04,860 --> 01:14:07,480
listened to you cut up a whole 16

2068
01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:10,480
minute piece into six clips that anyone could

2069
01:14:10,480 --> 01:14:11,380
just go watch.

2070
01:14:12,540 --> 01:14:14,640
Well, then what's the difference in that and

2071
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:15,640
what you're doing here?

2072
01:14:15,940 --> 01:14:16,360
Nothing.

2073
01:14:16,820 --> 01:14:18,900
But I didn't say anything about you.

2074
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:21,260
Yeah, you did.

2075
01:14:21,400 --> 01:14:22,420
I just let it roll.

2076
01:14:23,580 --> 01:14:25,020
No, at the very end, you made the

2077
01:14:25,020 --> 01:14:25,260
point.

2078
01:14:25,340 --> 01:14:27,780
You said specifically, just to be honest about

2079
01:14:27,780 --> 01:14:29,360
it, you said we're not playing any more

2080
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,360
clips from these people as though the clips

2081
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:32,420
that we play were bad.

2082
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,200
It's obvious that you are working for Israel

2083
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,380
and you don't want me to expose what's

2084
01:14:38,380 --> 01:14:38,900
going on.

2085
01:14:39,480 --> 01:14:41,000
I'm not working for Israel.

2086
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:42,560
You are my handler.

2087
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:43,240
I'm working for the Nexus.

2088
01:14:43,500 --> 01:14:44,680
I'm working for the United Kingdom.

2089
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:45,800
You are my handler.

2090
01:14:46,900 --> 01:14:48,280
Everyone knows it now.

2091
01:14:49,540 --> 01:14:51,580
By the way, somebody needs to be doing

2092
01:14:51,580 --> 01:14:51,800
it.

2093
01:14:51,940 --> 01:14:53,600
I'm surprised you didn't bring in the clip

2094
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,000
where they talked about my Uncle Don.

2095
01:14:58,230 --> 01:14:58,610
What?

2096
01:14:58,870 --> 01:14:59,110
Yeah.

2097
01:14:59,790 --> 01:15:00,750
Oh, you missed that one.

2098
01:15:02,730 --> 01:15:03,150
What is it?

2099
01:15:03,410 --> 01:15:03,550
What?

2100
01:15:03,650 --> 01:15:04,550
Who is this?

2101
01:15:05,370 --> 01:15:05,770
Kokinda.

2102
01:15:07,310 --> 01:15:07,930
I don't.

2103
01:15:08,070 --> 01:15:08,690
I didn't bring.

2104
01:15:08,770 --> 01:15:09,610
I didn't hear that.

2105
01:15:09,750 --> 01:15:11,830
Oh, yeah, it wasn't in that one episode.

2106
01:15:12,570 --> 01:15:14,050
Oh, I don't listen to her.

2107
01:15:14,210 --> 01:15:14,670
No, okay.

2108
01:15:15,310 --> 01:15:16,190
Anyway, move on.

2109
01:15:16,350 --> 01:15:16,750
What did they say?

2110
01:15:16,870 --> 01:15:17,990
What did they say about your Uncle Don?

2111
01:15:18,110 --> 01:15:19,470
Move on to a different topic.

2112
01:15:19,690 --> 01:15:20,210
No, wait a minute.

2113
01:15:20,310 --> 01:15:21,150
Now I need to know.

2114
01:15:21,230 --> 01:15:22,630
No, I didn't bring the clip because I

2115
01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:23,830
didn't want to bore you about my Uncle

2116
01:15:23,830 --> 01:15:23,930
Don.

2117
01:15:23,930 --> 01:15:25,770
You can just tell me what it was.

2118
01:15:29,070 --> 01:15:30,230
It's too complicated.

2119
01:15:32,170 --> 01:15:33,650
You have to listen to it.

2120
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:37,460
You can summarize?

2121
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,840
It goes back to Epstein.

2122
01:15:42,820 --> 01:15:43,980
And Epstein.

2123
01:15:45,300 --> 01:15:49,200
So the original money laundering for guns was

2124
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:54,840
run out of then Vice President George Herbert

2125
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,840
Walker Bush's office, which was overseen by Uncle

2126
01:15:58,840 --> 01:15:59,180
Don.

2127
01:15:59,300 --> 01:16:01,220
That's what we know as Iran-Contra.

2128
01:16:02,860 --> 01:16:04,800
Now he was never.

2129
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,540
He was accused of doing things, but they

2130
01:16:07,540 --> 01:16:08,680
never were able to prove it.

2131
01:16:08,700 --> 01:16:10,080
And there were Senate hearings, etc.

2132
01:16:11,020 --> 01:16:14,000
But what happened is there was a continuation

2133
01:16:14,780 --> 01:16:18,020
of that exact same network, which was then

2134
01:16:18,020 --> 01:16:22,140
picked up by Epstein's group.

2135
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:26,120
And in both cases, there was all kinds

2136
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,960
of sexual blackmail going on.

2137
01:16:34,850 --> 01:16:35,870
And I think.

2138
01:16:35,990 --> 01:16:36,330
What do you think?

2139
01:16:37,430 --> 01:16:39,630
Well, if you look at the Washington, I

2140
01:16:39,630 --> 01:16:42,890
think it's the Washington Post or the Washington

2141
01:16:42,890 --> 01:16:43,530
Times.

2142
01:16:43,850 --> 01:16:48,090
There's a front page article about the the

2143
01:16:48,090 --> 01:16:50,270
callboys being given tours in the middle of

2144
01:16:50,270 --> 01:16:51,350
the night of the White House.

2145
01:16:51,930 --> 01:16:53,590
And it says right there, Uncle Don.

2146
01:16:53,830 --> 01:16:54,930
It doesn't say Uncle Don.

2147
01:16:54,990 --> 01:16:56,770
It says Don Gregg was the one that

2148
01:16:56,770 --> 01:16:57,510
organized it.

2149
01:16:58,610 --> 01:17:00,850
And I think the continuation of that was

2150
01:17:00,850 --> 01:17:04,770
Barney Frank with his callboy service being run

2151
01:17:04,770 --> 01:17:05,470
out of his house.

2152
01:17:07,590 --> 01:17:08,810
But that's not.

2153
01:17:09,230 --> 01:17:11,590
And does it link to Epstein?

2154
01:17:11,990 --> 01:17:12,390
Yes.

2155
01:17:12,390 --> 01:17:15,310
Well, not not Barney Frank, per se, but

2156
01:17:15,310 --> 01:17:19,850
that there has been this continuous blackmailing operation.

2157
01:17:20,430 --> 01:17:22,010
But it's CIA itself.

2158
01:17:23,530 --> 01:17:25,010
It's not Mossad.

2159
01:17:25,230 --> 01:17:25,950
It's CIA.

2160
01:17:27,010 --> 01:17:27,990
They do it.

2161
01:17:28,590 --> 01:17:30,790
They spied on the Senate and they got

2162
01:17:30,790 --> 01:17:31,530
away with it.

2163
01:17:32,750 --> 01:17:33,450
Yes, they did.

2164
01:17:33,670 --> 01:17:36,010
In fact, Feinstein pulled them out on it

2165
01:17:36,010 --> 01:17:37,470
and nothing came of it.

2166
01:17:39,970 --> 01:17:42,830
So, well, that's OK.

2167
01:17:43,710 --> 01:17:45,230
Now, see, that's interesting.

2168
01:17:46,290 --> 01:17:48,150
I don't care what you think is interesting.

2169
01:17:48,290 --> 01:17:48,790
You're rude.

2170
01:17:49,850 --> 01:17:51,510
I am not rude.

2171
01:17:51,730 --> 01:17:53,610
You say, well, you're recycling stuff.

2172
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:56,830
Well, yeah, you're recycling stuff.

2173
01:17:56,930 --> 01:17:57,330
I'm not.

2174
01:17:59,150 --> 01:18:01,810
It's like you used to honk a horn

2175
01:18:01,810 --> 01:18:03,990
when I accidentally played a clip twice.

2176
01:18:05,090 --> 01:18:05,950
That's different.

2177
01:18:06,290 --> 01:18:07,690
And you don't think that's rude?

2178
01:18:08,790 --> 01:18:10,210
No, that's justified.

2179
01:18:11,170 --> 01:18:12,350
OK, I get it.

2180
01:18:12,350 --> 01:18:12,770
All right.

2181
01:18:12,830 --> 01:18:13,590
What do you want to do?

2182
01:18:13,790 --> 01:18:14,230
I don't know.

2183
01:18:14,390 --> 01:18:17,010
You completely took the wind out of my

2184
01:18:17,010 --> 01:18:17,370
sails.

2185
01:18:17,810 --> 01:18:20,650
So we had a we had a discussion

2186
01:18:20,650 --> 01:18:22,090
in the last show about Alberta.

2187
01:18:24,430 --> 01:18:26,030
Alberta is doing the vote.

2188
01:18:27,310 --> 01:18:29,050
It's something we need to talk about.

2189
01:18:30,940 --> 01:18:32,680
According to this guy, he's one of the

2190
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:33,820
politicians up there.

2191
01:18:33,940 --> 01:18:35,860
I have Alberta one, which should listen to

2192
01:18:35,860 --> 01:18:37,180
this and then we can go on.

2193
01:18:37,860 --> 01:18:40,460
One of the most significant factors that makes

2194
01:18:40,460 --> 01:18:44,720
the prospect of Alberta actually becoming independent after

2195
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,620
the referendum on independence that Alberta will be

2196
01:18:47,620 --> 01:18:51,820
holding in October 2026 is our proximity and

2197
01:18:51,820 --> 01:18:55,300
relationship to the United States of America, the

2198
01:18:55,300 --> 01:18:57,840
largest economy in the world.

2199
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,020
There's a number of ways in which a

2200
01:19:00,020 --> 01:19:02,620
country comes into existence.

2201
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,260
Countries have come into existence, ebbed and flowed

2202
01:19:06,260 --> 01:19:07,600
throughout the history of man.

2203
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:09,780
This is not a novel concept.

2204
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,540
Countries don't necessarily and their boundaries remain static.

2205
01:19:13,540 --> 01:19:16,920
In all of our lifetimes, we've witnessed countries

2206
01:19:16,920 --> 01:19:18,340
form and countries disappear.

2207
01:19:18,780 --> 01:19:21,160
So one of the ways in which Alberta

2208
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,600
can become an independent country, according to the

2209
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,280
Supreme Court of Canada in the 1998 reference

2210
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:28,900
case, because remember, the Supreme Court of Canada

2211
01:19:28,900 --> 01:19:31,960
laid out a constitutional pathway for a province

2212
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,680
like Alberta to hold a province wide referendum

2213
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:35,960
on a clear question.

2214
01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:38,180
And if a clear majority say, yes, we

2215
01:19:38,180 --> 01:19:40,440
want to become an independent country and a

2216
01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:43,960
new nation state, then that sets a legal

2217
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:45,080
process in motion.

2218
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,700
One way to finalize that process and complete

2219
01:19:49,700 --> 01:19:52,500
the process of becoming to nationhood is to

2220
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:56,800
have negotiations between Alberta, the other provinces, First

2221
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,880
Nations and the federal government on the details

2222
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:00,620
of the divorce, so to speak.

2223
01:20:01,020 --> 01:20:04,120
There's no certainty that those negotiations will be

2224
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:04,640
successful.

2225
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:07,560
The Supreme Court of Canada recognize this in

2226
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:10,400
paragraph 155 of their decision and 154.

2227
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:14,500
They talk about the concept of unilateral recognition

2228
01:20:15,300 --> 01:20:17,120
by other nation states.

2229
01:20:18,180 --> 01:20:20,980
And Canada has set a very important precedent

2230
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:25,100
supportive of Alberta going that route of being

2231
01:20:25,100 --> 01:20:28,860
recognized by other countries as an independent country

2232
01:20:29,420 --> 01:20:34,840
through Mark Carney's unilateral announcement last September, in

2233
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:39,260
September of 2025, where he had the government

2234
01:20:39,260 --> 01:20:44,400
of Canada unilaterally recognize the state of Palestine,

2235
01:20:45,060 --> 01:20:46,740
despite not having borders.

2236
01:20:47,540 --> 01:20:50,300
Well, that's an interesting parallel, the state of

2237
01:20:50,300 --> 01:20:52,420
Palestine and the free state of Alberta.

2238
01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:56,590
This is not getting any coverage at all.

2239
01:20:56,730 --> 01:20:58,810
And I didn't think much about it.

2240
01:20:59,390 --> 01:21:01,710
Some one of our producers, because we mentioned

2241
01:21:01,710 --> 01:21:02,050
it.

2242
01:21:02,150 --> 01:21:02,690
And I think.

2243
01:21:02,950 --> 01:21:04,330
No, this is this is how it went.

2244
01:21:04,390 --> 01:21:06,990
The producer went, why aren't they talking about

2245
01:21:06,990 --> 01:21:07,490
this?

2246
01:21:08,010 --> 01:21:08,810
And then it was.

2247
01:21:08,950 --> 01:21:11,130
And then I realized there's no coverage of

2248
01:21:11,130 --> 01:21:11,310
it.

2249
01:21:11,990 --> 01:21:13,710
Yes, that's exactly right.

2250
01:21:15,370 --> 01:21:18,150
We mentioned it in a mocking tone in

2251
01:21:18,150 --> 01:21:19,010
the last show.

2252
01:21:19,770 --> 01:21:21,910
And as though, yeah, whatever.

2253
01:21:22,770 --> 01:21:24,350
Just Canadians complaining.

2254
01:21:24,510 --> 01:21:25,310
This is common.

2255
01:21:25,470 --> 01:21:26,690
This is what Canadians do.

2256
01:21:26,750 --> 01:21:28,110
They complain, they bitch, they moan.

2257
01:21:28,570 --> 01:21:30,430
But then when I listen to this guy's

2258
01:21:30,430 --> 01:21:32,450
presentation, I didn't realize it was on the

2259
01:21:32,450 --> 01:21:34,730
ballot in this way.

2260
01:21:34,750 --> 01:21:37,310
And it has precedent and it could happen

2261
01:21:37,310 --> 01:21:38,330
if this happens.

2262
01:21:40,030 --> 01:21:42,050
The next thing to go is going to

2263
01:21:42,050 --> 01:21:45,130
be is going to be the Montreal Quebecers.

2264
01:21:45,230 --> 01:21:46,570
They're going to go because they've been wanting

2265
01:21:46,570 --> 01:21:47,470
to go for years.

2266
01:21:47,770 --> 01:21:49,270
Well, is this not is this not a

2267
01:21:49,270 --> 01:21:51,830
direct attack on the North Sea nexus as

2268
01:21:51,830 --> 01:21:52,030
well?

2269
01:21:52,090 --> 01:21:53,910
And could we not be helping them with

2270
01:21:53,910 --> 01:21:54,270
this?

2271
01:21:55,490 --> 01:21:57,710
Well, clip two maybe gives us a little

2272
01:21:57,710 --> 01:21:58,690
insight into that.

2273
01:21:59,250 --> 01:22:00,990
So one of the things that could well

2274
01:22:00,990 --> 01:22:05,270
happen after the referendum is the United States

2275
01:22:06,370 --> 01:22:10,410
will recognize Alberta as an independent country.

2276
01:22:10,730 --> 01:22:13,650
There have been ongoing meetings between the Alberta

2277
01:22:13,650 --> 01:22:17,810
Prosperity Project representatives and the State Department in

2278
01:22:17,810 --> 01:22:19,610
the U.S. and as recently as a

2279
01:22:19,610 --> 01:22:21,970
few weeks ago, where they continue to dialogue

2280
01:22:22,810 --> 01:22:25,370
on the situation in Alberta.

2281
01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:28,750
And it's clear that the U.S. government

2282
01:22:28,750 --> 01:22:33,330
is prepared to recognize Alberta independence.

2283
01:22:33,330 --> 01:22:37,970
And if it occurs in a democratic referendum

2284
01:22:37,970 --> 01:22:38,710
vote.

2285
01:22:39,250 --> 01:22:42,030
And so this is really significant because it's

2286
01:22:42,030 --> 01:22:43,410
Alberta's largest trading partner.

2287
01:22:44,110 --> 01:22:46,310
They're our closest geographic trading partner.

2288
01:22:46,630 --> 01:22:49,110
Carney government cleared the way for this and

2289
01:22:49,110 --> 01:22:52,730
legitimized it through the Carney government's actions of

2290
01:22:53,290 --> 01:22:54,590
recognizing Palestine.

2291
01:22:54,970 --> 01:22:56,990
What I expect is going to happen is

2292
01:22:56,990 --> 01:22:58,470
I think we're going to win this vote

2293
01:22:58,470 --> 01:22:59,950
in October and I think we're going to

2294
01:22:59,950 --> 01:23:00,590
win it handily.

2295
01:23:00,730 --> 01:23:02,870
We will be freed from the constraints.

2296
01:23:03,050 --> 01:23:05,790
You know, what's so remarkable is we have

2297
01:23:05,790 --> 01:23:07,950
the third largest reserve of oil in the

2298
01:23:07,950 --> 01:23:08,130
world.

2299
01:23:08,270 --> 01:23:10,730
We have all these other resources and we

2300
01:23:10,730 --> 01:23:14,630
have a federal government that has deliberately passed

2301
01:23:14,630 --> 01:23:17,850
laws and policies to keep our oil and

2302
01:23:17,850 --> 01:23:22,530
gas in the ground, holding back prosperity, depriving

2303
01:23:22,530 --> 01:23:24,990
our children and grandchildren of a prosperous and

2304
01:23:24,990 --> 01:23:28,010
happy future, increasing the cost of living.

2305
01:23:28,130 --> 01:23:29,330
It's just spectacular.

2306
01:23:29,870 --> 01:23:32,710
On December 5th, the U.S. government released

2307
01:23:32,710 --> 01:23:34,390
its national security strategy.

2308
01:23:34,930 --> 01:23:36,250
And if you go through and read that

2309
01:23:36,250 --> 01:23:40,970
39 page document, you will see how uncomfortable

2310
01:23:40,970 --> 01:23:44,730
the U.S. administration is about these really

2311
01:23:44,730 --> 01:23:50,150
weird steps that troubling actions of the Carney

2312
01:23:50,150 --> 01:23:53,750
liberals in seeking to align themselves in Canada

2313
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:57,830
with China rather than embrace and try and

2314
01:23:57,830 --> 01:24:00,970
develop and enhance our relationship with the largest

2315
01:24:00,970 --> 01:24:03,630
economy, our largest customer and the most powerful

2316
01:24:03,630 --> 01:24:05,550
military country in the world.

2317
01:24:05,670 --> 01:24:08,450
How our prime minister has come out and

2318
01:24:08,450 --> 01:24:11,510
said on a number of occasions that our

2319
01:24:11,510 --> 01:24:14,470
relationship with the United States has come to

2320
01:24:14,470 --> 01:24:15,210
an end.

2321
01:24:15,390 --> 01:24:17,950
That is just spectacularly reckless.

2322
01:24:18,850 --> 01:24:21,130
So there's, of course, a lot of skepticism

2323
01:24:21,130 --> 01:24:23,330
about this actually happening, but it's not like

2324
01:24:23,330 --> 01:24:24,970
this hasn't happened in the past.

2325
01:24:25,390 --> 01:24:26,690
Things like this happen.

2326
01:24:28,230 --> 01:24:31,430
People are so set in their belief of

2327
01:24:31,430 --> 01:24:33,850
how the world fits together that they can't

2328
01:24:33,850 --> 01:24:36,290
even can't even imagine that that this type

2329
01:24:36,290 --> 01:24:37,390
of change would take place.

2330
01:24:37,470 --> 01:24:39,290
I think it's absolutely possible.

2331
01:24:42,430 --> 01:24:44,890
I'm I think it's absolutely possible, too, but

2332
01:24:44,890 --> 01:24:46,610
I can also see the other side of

2333
01:24:46,610 --> 01:24:47,950
it, where you say that this is not

2334
01:24:47,950 --> 01:24:48,410
going to happen.

2335
01:24:48,530 --> 01:24:50,570
This is what I was when I was

2336
01:24:50,570 --> 01:24:53,210
mocking it, because it's silly.

2337
01:24:53,370 --> 01:24:54,990
I mean, you know, things are the way

2338
01:24:54,990 --> 01:24:55,670
they are.

2339
01:24:55,870 --> 01:24:58,030
And, you know, they can't the Quebecers can't

2340
01:24:58,030 --> 01:24:59,570
even get out of the country, let alone

2341
01:24:59,570 --> 01:25:00,190
these guys.

2342
01:25:00,230 --> 01:25:01,410
But these guys have money.

2343
01:25:01,410 --> 01:25:04,310
This is the Quebec would go broke, they

2344
01:25:04,310 --> 01:25:06,710
think if they had split off.

2345
01:25:07,130 --> 01:25:09,710
But if these guys split off, Quebecers will

2346
01:25:09,710 --> 01:25:10,330
split off.

2347
01:25:10,490 --> 01:25:11,950
And then and then the next to go

2348
01:25:11,950 --> 01:25:14,230
would be B.C. There's no reason for

2349
01:25:14,230 --> 01:25:15,950
the British Columbia to be part of Canada.

2350
01:25:16,110 --> 01:25:19,010
We could have states 51, 52 and 53,

2351
01:25:19,210 --> 01:25:20,510
maybe even 54.

2352
01:25:21,990 --> 01:25:24,070
I think 51 and 52 for sure.

2353
01:25:24,070 --> 01:25:25,470
I don't know about the Quebecers.

2354
01:25:25,630 --> 01:25:27,250
What has to happen on our end?

2355
01:25:27,510 --> 01:25:28,770
What has to happen in the US?

2356
01:25:28,890 --> 01:25:30,250
What is the process for that?

2357
01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:32,830
If if Alberta says, yeah, you know, we

2358
01:25:32,830 --> 01:25:33,670
want to join you guys.

2359
01:25:34,210 --> 01:25:36,070
What is the process that we have?

2360
01:25:37,230 --> 01:25:39,090
Do we have to go through a some

2361
01:25:39,090 --> 01:25:39,770
kind of vote?

2362
01:25:40,270 --> 01:25:41,530
Do we have no idea?

2363
01:25:41,850 --> 01:25:42,430
I think we do.

2364
01:25:42,510 --> 01:25:43,770
We have to have a test to make

2365
01:25:43,770 --> 01:25:46,190
sure they can say our constitutional lawyers.

2366
01:25:46,310 --> 01:25:47,670
The only guy can answer that question.

2367
01:25:47,850 --> 01:25:49,130
They have to be able to say about

2368
01:25:49,130 --> 01:25:52,110
if you say a boot, then it's not

2369
01:25:52,110 --> 01:25:52,470
going to happen.

2370
01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:55,670
You got to change your if you say

2371
01:25:55,670 --> 01:25:56,050
a boot.

2372
01:26:00,250 --> 01:26:01,690
Well, we don't want to see.

2373
01:26:01,870 --> 01:26:04,090
I have mixed feelings about 51 and 52

2374
01:26:04,090 --> 01:26:04,690
because.

2375
01:26:06,250 --> 01:26:08,950
Again, the Canadians, you know, the difference between

2376
01:26:08,950 --> 01:26:10,650
Canada and the United States, when it came

2377
01:26:10,650 --> 01:26:12,990
to separating from the British Empire, we had

2378
01:26:12,990 --> 01:26:15,430
a we came to blows.

2379
01:26:15,550 --> 01:26:17,350
We brought guns to the party.

2380
01:26:17,550 --> 01:26:19,950
The Canadians to get away from the Brits,

2381
01:26:19,970 --> 01:26:21,470
even though they're still part of the Commonwealth,

2382
01:26:21,890 --> 01:26:24,010
they just complained a lot until they got

2383
01:26:24,010 --> 01:26:24,550
sick of it.

2384
01:26:24,610 --> 01:26:26,110
People got sick of listening to them bitch

2385
01:26:26,110 --> 01:26:26,490
and moan.

2386
01:26:26,950 --> 01:26:29,670
The Canadians complain, complain, complain, and they do

2387
01:26:29,670 --> 01:26:30,750
such a good job of it.

2388
01:26:30,930 --> 01:26:33,270
It's it's hard for Americans to put up

2389
01:26:33,270 --> 01:26:33,590
with it.

2390
01:26:33,670 --> 01:26:36,050
But I don't know the Canadians who become

2391
01:26:36,050 --> 01:26:39,250
Americans seem to, you know, adapt to less

2392
01:26:39,250 --> 01:26:39,850
complaining.

2393
01:26:40,090 --> 01:26:41,750
Maybe they complain for a good reason.

2394
01:26:41,870 --> 01:26:42,930
It's something that could go away.

2395
01:26:42,990 --> 01:26:43,670
I'm not sure.

2396
01:26:44,330 --> 01:26:48,070
But I I have mixed feelings about 51

2397
01:26:48,070 --> 01:26:48,750
and 52.

2398
01:26:49,590 --> 01:26:54,350
Can't we just do one of those horizontal

2399
01:26:54,350 --> 01:26:57,270
fracking jobs, you know, under the border?

2400
01:26:57,270 --> 01:26:59,010
I think it's going to be too low,

2401
01:26:59,110 --> 01:26:59,530
too far.

2402
01:26:59,910 --> 01:27:02,070
But we would definitely the pipelines would be

2403
01:27:02,070 --> 01:27:02,850
going up.

2404
01:27:04,310 --> 01:27:06,470
The Albertans, if they just stayed as an

2405
01:27:06,470 --> 01:27:08,170
independent country, would be one of the richest

2406
01:27:08,170 --> 01:27:08,950
in the world.

2407
01:27:09,030 --> 01:27:11,190
There'd be at least as rich as Kuwait.

2408
01:27:11,230 --> 01:27:12,150
That'd be like Saudi Arabia.

2409
01:27:12,530 --> 01:27:13,630
The new Qatar.

2410
01:27:13,930 --> 01:27:16,570
It'd be like Qatar loaded.

2411
01:27:17,030 --> 01:27:17,350
Yeah.

2412
01:27:17,910 --> 01:27:19,690
It would also drain the coffers.

2413
01:27:19,770 --> 01:27:20,850
It would break Canada.

2414
01:27:21,030 --> 01:27:25,470
They could all wear dresses and headgear and

2415
01:27:25,470 --> 01:27:26,710
call themselves sheikhs.

2416
01:27:27,270 --> 01:27:27,690
They could.

2417
01:27:27,910 --> 01:27:29,570
Hello, I'm the sheikh of Alberta.

2418
01:27:30,850 --> 01:27:32,890
Now I was talking to the oil baron.

2419
01:27:33,770 --> 01:27:37,390
He says if Trump doesn't do something soon

2420
01:27:37,390 --> 01:27:40,250
with oil, the prices are going to skyrocket.

2421
01:27:41,470 --> 01:27:44,130
And he's supposed to do well.

2422
01:27:45,250 --> 01:27:47,490
And what does he mean in shortly?

2423
01:27:47,690 --> 01:27:50,610
Is that 18, 18 months, 18 months?

2424
01:27:50,730 --> 01:27:52,450
The reason why I would go right past

2425
01:27:52,450 --> 01:27:52,930
this election.

2426
01:27:53,050 --> 01:27:57,370
So if Alberta went went independent and they

2427
01:27:57,370 --> 01:28:00,090
just latched on to us, we'd suck, suck

2428
01:28:00,090 --> 01:28:00,610
all that oil.

2429
01:28:00,710 --> 01:28:02,370
Yeah, we'd that would take care of the

2430
01:28:02,370 --> 01:28:02,790
problem.

2431
01:28:02,970 --> 01:28:05,110
So the problem he has, he says for

2432
01:28:05,110 --> 01:28:10,630
the first time in history, shale, the shale

2433
01:28:10,630 --> 01:28:11,930
drilling has gone negative.

2434
01:28:13,190 --> 01:28:15,370
He says it's just not producing what it

2435
01:28:15,370 --> 01:28:16,050
used to produce.

2436
01:28:16,130 --> 01:28:18,030
There's wells on top of wells on top

2437
01:28:18,030 --> 01:28:20,190
of wells, and we're not getting it anymore.

2438
01:28:20,810 --> 01:28:21,250
The shale.

2439
01:28:23,770 --> 01:28:25,770
Doesn't that have to do with the price?

2440
01:28:25,770 --> 01:28:27,130
Doesn't shale oil have to?

2441
01:28:27,610 --> 01:28:30,670
It's not profitable unless the oil price is

2442
01:28:30,670 --> 01:28:31,650
70 or so.

2443
01:28:31,770 --> 01:28:33,710
Right now it's in the high 50s.

2444
01:28:33,810 --> 01:28:34,430
He says they're not.

2445
01:28:34,690 --> 01:28:37,450
Well, he says under 50, not profitable.

2446
01:28:38,150 --> 01:28:39,670
Yeah, it's always been that way, though.

2447
01:28:39,930 --> 01:28:41,710
Yes, but but they're actually not.

2448
01:28:42,390 --> 01:28:44,090
You know, the president keeps saying, oh, we

2449
01:28:44,090 --> 01:28:44,570
got all this.

2450
01:28:44,710 --> 01:28:45,330
We don't.

2451
01:28:46,410 --> 01:28:47,210
That's the problem.

2452
01:28:47,510 --> 01:28:49,050
The oil isn't there anymore.

2453
01:28:49,410 --> 01:28:50,590
This is what he's he's been.

2454
01:28:50,670 --> 01:28:52,330
I've mentioned this on the show several times.

2455
01:28:52,370 --> 01:28:53,210
He keeps saying it.

2456
01:28:53,790 --> 01:28:54,550
It's diminishing.

2457
01:28:54,550 --> 01:28:57,610
And if Trump doesn't, if Trump keeps stopping

2458
01:28:57,610 --> 01:29:00,690
the Venezuela oil, then the price will skyrocket.

2459
01:29:00,830 --> 01:29:03,130
He I should see where he said this.

2460
01:29:03,370 --> 01:29:04,350
But is he stopping the oil?

2461
01:29:04,470 --> 01:29:05,710
He's grabbing the oil, isn't he?

2462
01:29:06,030 --> 01:29:07,310
He's stealing the oil.

2463
01:29:07,350 --> 01:29:09,330
But oil is a it's a it's a

2464
01:29:09,330 --> 01:29:10,610
it's a global thing.

2465
01:29:10,750 --> 01:29:12,870
He's he's once you grab the ship, then

2466
01:29:12,870 --> 01:29:14,350
you got one shipload of oil.

2467
01:29:14,370 --> 01:29:16,110
But then that oil, there's no more oil

2468
01:29:16,110 --> 01:29:16,930
on that ship.

2469
01:29:18,170 --> 01:29:18,950
Let me see.

2470
01:29:19,070 --> 01:29:20,310
I'm going to bring it up for you.

2471
01:29:21,250 --> 01:29:22,430
He told me this.

2472
01:29:25,730 --> 01:29:27,930
Boy, here we go.

2473
01:29:30,770 --> 01:29:33,890
U.S. blockade on Venezuela, forcing South American

2474
01:29:33,890 --> 01:29:35,530
countries to start shutting wells.

2475
01:29:37,110 --> 01:29:39,230
So Venezuela is now just shutting.

2476
01:29:40,410 --> 01:29:44,970
The Orinoco belt is reducing production by 25

2477
01:29:44,970 --> 01:29:47,130
percent, 500 million barrels per day.

2478
01:29:48,370 --> 01:29:49,530
Here's what he said.

2479
01:29:50,070 --> 01:29:52,530
He said he gave this.

2480
01:29:53,290 --> 01:29:56,710
A depletion in the Permian is happening now.

2481
01:29:56,890 --> 01:29:58,630
Chevron has been reporting for some time in

2482
01:29:58,630 --> 01:30:00,070
the Delaware Basin's acreage.

2483
01:30:00,370 --> 01:30:03,150
Production numbers coming below internal forecasts.

2484
01:30:03,650 --> 01:30:05,770
As long as Saudi Arabia floods the markets

2485
01:30:05,770 --> 01:30:08,150
in Venezuela or Russia comes back online to

2486
01:30:08,150 --> 01:30:11,090
world markets, it will sink more oil companies.

2487
01:30:11,410 --> 01:30:13,550
So so he's talking on his own behalf

2488
01:30:14,150 --> 01:30:14,890
to a degree.

2489
01:30:15,150 --> 01:30:17,170
But he's saying they could go back to

2490
01:30:17,170 --> 01:30:18,130
1986.

2491
01:30:19,070 --> 01:30:20,590
Was there a big spike in oil in

2492
01:30:20,590 --> 01:30:21,070
1986?

2493
01:30:22,970 --> 01:30:23,770
I don't know.

2494
01:30:23,890 --> 01:30:24,970
I had to look at the charts.

2495
01:30:26,910 --> 01:30:29,970
Well, he's he's an actual landman drilling.

2496
01:30:30,110 --> 01:30:32,910
And he says that what Trump is doing

2497
01:30:32,910 --> 01:30:33,570
is fun.

2498
01:30:34,010 --> 01:30:36,070
He said, but he's got to figure it

2499
01:30:36,070 --> 01:30:37,910
out because that oil needs to flow.

2500
01:30:38,010 --> 01:30:40,470
If you just keep grabbing the ships, then

2501
01:30:40,470 --> 01:30:41,710
there's less oil flowing.

2502
01:30:41,770 --> 01:30:42,850
And it's a global thing.

2503
01:30:42,890 --> 01:30:44,210
It's not just what we're taking.

2504
01:30:44,430 --> 01:30:46,870
The ships aren't moving and the production is

2505
01:30:46,870 --> 01:30:47,710
being shut down.

2506
01:30:52,150 --> 01:30:55,130
And so his proposal, he says we should

2507
01:30:55,130 --> 01:30:56,730
just stop harassing Venezuela.

2508
01:30:57,170 --> 01:30:57,830
No, no.

2509
01:30:57,990 --> 01:30:58,750
He says, figure it.

2510
01:30:58,810 --> 01:30:59,770
He said, figure it out.

2511
01:30:59,810 --> 01:31:01,230
I said, well, how about Russia?

2512
01:31:01,910 --> 01:31:03,470
Maybe if we if we're if we get

2513
01:31:03,470 --> 01:31:05,970
the Russia thing fixed, I mean, it's different

2514
01:31:05,970 --> 01:31:06,290
oil.

2515
01:31:06,290 --> 01:31:08,290
I presume the Russian oil and the Venezuelan

2516
01:31:08,290 --> 01:31:08,550
oil.

2517
01:31:08,810 --> 01:31:10,050
Does that make a difference?

2518
01:31:10,570 --> 01:31:11,290
The two types?

2519
01:31:11,410 --> 01:31:13,170
I think the Russian oil is better quality.

2520
01:31:13,370 --> 01:31:13,590
Yeah.

2521
01:31:14,550 --> 01:31:17,370
So his point is something has to happen.

2522
01:31:18,130 --> 01:31:20,590
Otherwise, we're really completely under control.

2523
01:31:20,910 --> 01:31:22,150
Maybe that's what you were trying to do

2524
01:31:22,150 --> 01:31:24,070
with ending this stupid war with Ukraine.

2525
01:31:24,070 --> 01:31:25,790
That would that would be a good one.

2526
01:31:25,910 --> 01:31:29,070
I actually have a clip about the Venezuela

2527
01:31:29,070 --> 01:31:29,910
situation.

2528
01:31:30,190 --> 01:31:31,430
My first question to you is, given you're

2529
01:31:31,430 --> 01:31:34,230
a member of the House Intelligence Committee, part

2530
01:31:34,230 --> 01:31:36,430
of whose responsibility is overseeing the CIA.

2531
01:31:36,830 --> 01:31:37,710
Have you give it?

2532
01:31:37,810 --> 01:31:39,650
Have you been given any more insight into

2533
01:31:39,650 --> 01:31:40,270
this attack?

2534
01:31:41,510 --> 01:31:42,350
None whatsoever.

2535
01:31:42,350 --> 01:31:44,410
We haven't been given any insight to anything

2536
01:31:44,410 --> 01:31:46,690
they're doing in the Pacific or the Caribbean

2537
01:31:46,690 --> 01:31:50,550
on the shooting and bombing these boats.

2538
01:31:50,790 --> 01:31:54,770
And then whatever happened with the rescue, we've

2539
01:31:54,770 --> 01:31:57,790
had no reports from the CIA on these

2540
01:31:57,790 --> 01:31:58,550
activities.

2541
01:31:58,830 --> 01:32:00,270
They say they have they've had nothing to

2542
01:32:00,270 --> 01:32:00,750
do with it.

2543
01:32:01,050 --> 01:32:02,110
And it's not been their mission.

2544
01:32:02,790 --> 01:32:04,830
I've been down just about two weeks ago

2545
01:32:04,830 --> 01:32:06,810
to Key West and to Miami, the South

2546
01:32:06,810 --> 01:32:09,490
Command, Southern Command, and they said that it

2547
01:32:09,490 --> 01:32:11,570
was not their their issues either, that the

2548
01:32:11,570 --> 01:32:15,850
Southern Spear was a wholly, totally different group.

2549
01:32:16,010 --> 01:32:18,590
I want to ask if you suspect, given

2550
01:32:18,590 --> 01:32:21,310
that you support action that would stop the

2551
01:32:21,310 --> 01:32:24,150
Trump administration from launching strikes against Venezuela without

2552
01:32:24,150 --> 01:32:25,150
congressional approval.

2553
01:32:25,990 --> 01:32:28,490
Do you fear that this was deliberately a

2554
01:32:28,490 --> 01:32:34,710
CIA operation to avoid any legal obligation to

2555
01:32:34,710 --> 01:32:37,470
inform Congress or seek approval from Congress?

2556
01:32:39,030 --> 01:32:39,830
I suspect it was.

2557
01:32:39,950 --> 01:32:41,050
It was kind of strange.

2558
01:32:42,250 --> 01:32:44,450
You know, normally we don't refer to and

2559
01:32:44,450 --> 01:32:46,670
make public notice of CIA activities.

2560
01:32:47,050 --> 01:32:47,970
Those are all covert.

2561
01:32:48,630 --> 01:32:52,110
And this was the first openly open announcement

2562
01:32:52,110 --> 01:32:53,850
of the CIA doing something in another country

2563
01:32:53,850 --> 01:32:55,570
where they got president and asset rather than

2564
01:32:55,570 --> 01:32:57,690
being discovered by news media or foreign government.

2565
01:32:58,230 --> 01:32:59,210
Who is that guy?

2566
01:32:59,370 --> 01:32:59,730
It's Cohen.

2567
01:32:59,870 --> 01:33:00,630
Is he a Republican?

2568
01:33:01,310 --> 01:33:02,150
I don't know.

2569
01:33:02,970 --> 01:33:04,510
He has a second part to this.

2570
01:33:04,670 --> 01:33:06,970
Now, to that point, it's interesting because earlier

2571
01:33:06,970 --> 01:33:09,950
this month, President Trump was asked if he

2572
01:33:09,950 --> 01:33:12,450
would seek authorization from Congress for any land

2573
01:33:12,450 --> 01:33:14,290
attacks in Venezuela.

2574
01:33:15,110 --> 01:33:16,490
And here's how he answered.

2575
01:33:16,570 --> 01:33:17,410
I want to get your reaction.

2576
01:33:19,660 --> 01:33:21,700
I wouldn't mind telling him, but it's not

2577
01:33:21,700 --> 01:33:22,140
a big deal.

2578
01:33:22,180 --> 01:33:23,100
I don't have to tell him.

2579
01:33:23,100 --> 01:33:23,780
It's been proven.

2580
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:27,140
But I wouldn't mind at all.

2581
01:33:27,260 --> 01:33:28,760
I just hope they wouldn't leak it.

2582
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:31,140
You know, people leak it.

2583
01:33:31,380 --> 01:33:33,560
They are politicians and they leak like a

2584
01:33:33,560 --> 01:33:33,840
sieve.

2585
01:33:35,260 --> 01:33:37,180
So as it turns out, the sieve in

2586
01:33:37,180 --> 01:33:38,840
this case was the president himself.

2587
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:44,020
By leaking this, did he put any U

2588
01:33:44,020 --> 01:33:47,760
.S. operations, the CIA, operatives, etc., or sources

2589
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:49,980
and methods in danger, at risk?

2590
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:52,700
Well, he could have, but he certainly puts

2591
01:33:52,700 --> 01:33:54,240
the United States' reputation at risk.

2592
01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:56,080
We're going to be looked at like we

2593
01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,620
were 100 years ago or whatever as the

2594
01:33:59,620 --> 01:34:03,380
Yankee imperialism and where the Latin American countries

2595
01:34:03,380 --> 01:34:04,660
despise the United States.

2596
01:34:05,180 --> 01:34:07,300
And I know that, you know, obviously Colombia

2597
01:34:07,300 --> 01:34:13,360
and Ecuador and the Nicaraguan people care all

2598
01:34:13,360 --> 01:34:16,300
about Honduran people, where we just pardon their

2599
01:34:16,300 --> 01:34:18,840
president, who they want to have arrested and

2600
01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:20,340
try for other offenses.

2601
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:20,980
He's a crook.

2602
01:34:20,980 --> 01:34:24,920
I was down in Honduras, maybe five, six

2603
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:26,020
years ago, and we met with him.

2604
01:34:26,380 --> 01:34:27,140
And he just seemed...

2605
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:29,840
Why did he meet with him?

2606
01:34:29,860 --> 01:34:31,180
To discuss the drug money?

2607
01:34:31,500 --> 01:34:32,040
Too slick.

2608
01:34:32,660 --> 01:34:34,520
And I thought that the guy's program was

2609
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,900
not from the soul and it wasn't accurate.

2610
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:39,960
And it was just a scam.

2611
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:41,680
And that's what it was.

2612
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:45,080
Well, Congressman Cohen, we appreciate you joining us

2613
01:34:45,080 --> 01:34:45,380
tonight.

2614
01:34:45,540 --> 01:34:47,220
But I don't think anyone really understands this

2615
01:34:47,220 --> 01:34:47,480
problem.

2616
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,080
Alberta would be a great solution.

2617
01:34:50,060 --> 01:34:52,000
That would be a good way to do

2618
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,280
it because I trust the oil baron.

2619
01:34:54,320 --> 01:34:55,460
He says if something doesn't give...

2620
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:58,420
Well, you know, I'm not going to argue

2621
01:34:58,420 --> 01:35:01,680
with him, but yeah, Alberta would be the

2622
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:03,460
easiest way to take care of the problem.

2623
01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:04,400
Yeah.

2624
01:35:04,580 --> 01:35:05,660
And they get a lot of money.

2625
01:35:05,820 --> 01:35:10,280
We get the oil and boom, we're on

2626
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:10,700
our way.

2627
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:12,660
I would recommend Troll Room.

2628
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:14,280
Y'all should get together and do your

2629
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,160
own podcast and call it the No Agenda

2630
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:16,840
Roundtable.

2631
01:35:17,020 --> 01:35:18,460
That would be a really good idea.

2632
01:35:18,460 --> 01:35:21,940
They know everything so well over there, John.

2633
01:35:22,020 --> 01:35:22,760
They know it all.

2634
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:23,700
We know it all.

2635
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:24,680
What are they bitching about?

2636
01:35:24,980 --> 01:35:26,560
Just they bitch about everything.

2637
01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:27,760
It's all they do.

2638
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:29,700
It's all they do.

2639
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:34,740
Alberta would take care of the problem.

2640
01:35:37,140 --> 01:35:39,240
And they would probably for a hundred years.

2641
01:35:39,900 --> 01:35:40,200
Yes.

2642
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,960
The third largest reserve.

2643
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:44,520
A lot of it is in shale.

2644
01:35:44,620 --> 01:35:45,300
That's a problem.

2645
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,300
Well, but the president is right.

2646
01:35:47,500 --> 01:35:48,880
A lot of that was ours.

2647
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:50,040
We had the deals.

2648
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,660
He nationalized it, basically stole it.

2649
01:35:53,500 --> 01:35:55,080
That's the deal we need to get back

2650
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:55,680
on the table.

2651
01:35:57,580 --> 01:36:00,000
But that's been going on for 10 years.

2652
01:36:00,780 --> 01:36:03,180
And Carney, we have to always remember that

2653
01:36:03,180 --> 01:36:03,480
guy.

2654
01:36:03,660 --> 01:36:05,600
If anybody is a member of the British

2655
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:06,500
monarchy.

2656
01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:07,140
It's him.

2657
01:36:07,380 --> 01:36:07,740
Nexus.

2658
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:08,320
It's him.

2659
01:36:08,620 --> 01:36:10,160
He was the head of the Bank of

2660
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:10,440
England.

2661
01:36:10,560 --> 01:36:13,120
He's not even Canadian and he's running Canada.

2662
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:15,220
Are you kidding me?

2663
01:36:16,060 --> 01:36:16,380
Yeah.

2664
01:36:16,680 --> 01:36:18,640
Well, that's the problem.

2665
01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:23,040
I think they're going to pass an election.

2666
01:36:23,980 --> 01:36:26,780
I think the election is going to, unless

2667
01:36:26,780 --> 01:36:28,840
something changes between now and October.

2668
01:36:30,780 --> 01:36:33,940
Alberta is going to pass the vote and

2669
01:36:33,940 --> 01:36:36,400
become an independence country.

2670
01:36:37,100 --> 01:36:37,660
And what now?

2671
01:36:37,700 --> 01:36:39,600
How is that right in the middle of

2672
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:40,640
Canada, by the way?

2673
01:36:41,260 --> 01:36:44,600
All the traffic, all the train traffic goes

2674
01:36:44,600 --> 01:36:46,260
right through Alberta to get to BC.

2675
01:36:46,620 --> 01:36:47,920
What are you going to do about that?

2676
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,160
Passport, passport, passport control.

2677
01:36:51,340 --> 01:36:52,660
They should do armbands.

2678
01:36:53,460 --> 01:36:53,880
That'd be cool.

2679
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:57,420
Yeah.

2680
01:36:57,760 --> 01:36:59,080
They need a flag.

2681
01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:00,540
They need their own army.

2682
01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:03,480
We have people from Vancouver that can have

2683
01:37:03,480 --> 01:37:05,060
an armband that says V on it.

2684
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:06,680
That'd be cool looking.

2685
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,020
So the other really big story, which unfolded

2686
01:37:10,020 --> 01:37:12,980
thanks to what is now deemed a MAGA

2687
01:37:12,980 --> 01:37:17,100
influencer was, or is the child care in

2688
01:37:17,100 --> 01:37:19,360
Minnesota, which has now gone all the way

2689
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:20,040
up to the top.

2690
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,740
You'd almost think, you'd almost think since the

2691
01:37:22,740 --> 01:37:25,540
media couldn't cover it, that this was a

2692
01:37:25,540 --> 01:37:26,500
setup with this kid.

2693
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:28,500
This, what's his name?

2694
01:37:28,580 --> 01:37:28,800
Nick.

2695
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:30,660
No, it wasn't.

2696
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:31,060
Nick Shirley.

2697
01:37:31,260 --> 01:37:31,760
Nick Shirley.

2698
01:37:32,540 --> 01:37:35,020
Well, it's possible there was a setup.

2699
01:37:35,900 --> 01:37:37,320
Can I play a clip before you play

2700
01:37:37,320 --> 01:37:37,620
these?

2701
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:38,420
Yeah, yeah, of course.

2702
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,320
Because you said the media didn't cover it.

2703
01:37:40,340 --> 01:37:41,980
Yes, in fact, the media did cover it.

2704
01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:42,780
It was a news story.

2705
01:37:42,780 --> 01:37:44,440
It was a big news story.

2706
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:45,760
No, I 20.

2707
01:37:46,060 --> 01:37:47,700
I didn't say they didn't cover it.

2708
01:37:47,740 --> 01:37:50,720
Oh, in 20 when 2013.

2709
01:37:51,740 --> 01:37:54,200
Well, actually, they started off in 2013.

2710
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:55,980
And then there was a news report, which

2711
01:37:55,980 --> 01:37:57,780
is the one I'm playing from 2015.

2712
01:37:58,420 --> 01:38:00,720
This is on Fox up there in Minneapolis.

2713
01:38:00,860 --> 01:38:01,800
They play the story.

2714
01:38:01,960 --> 01:38:05,380
It's exactly the same story that we're now

2715
01:38:05,380 --> 01:38:08,420
hearing, you know, since it started in 2013.

2716
01:38:08,420 --> 01:38:13,580
12 years later, nothing has changed.

2717
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:15,140
But listen to this report.

2718
01:38:15,540 --> 01:38:17,480
How significant is this problem?

2719
01:38:17,860 --> 01:38:18,500
Massive.

2720
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,880
Steve Halicki spent 15 years as a welfare

2721
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,540
fraud investigator for Hennepin County.

2722
01:38:25,100 --> 01:38:27,300
He came to us to grind an axe.

2723
01:38:27,740 --> 01:38:29,720
They don't want a fraud unit to do

2724
01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:30,000
anything.

2725
01:38:30,180 --> 01:38:31,540
They want a fraud unit on paper.

2726
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,840
Halicki was fired in 2013 while in the

2727
01:38:34,840 --> 01:38:36,340
midst of a big investigation.

2728
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,820
The county claims he was an insubordinate bully

2729
01:38:39,820 --> 01:38:43,040
whose tactics were hampering efforts to catch welfare

2730
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:43,580
cheats.

2731
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:45,860
They don't want to point fingers at various

2732
01:38:45,860 --> 01:38:47,360
organizations and people.

2733
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:49,440
This is nothing but a giant cover up.

2734
01:38:49,580 --> 01:38:50,360
You're driving down the street.

2735
01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:50,940
You have no idea.

2736
01:38:51,180 --> 01:38:54,700
Halicki contacted the Fox 9 investigators after seeing

2737
01:38:54,700 --> 01:38:57,560
our series of reports on DECO daycare centers.

2738
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,260
We uncovered evidence the company was collecting millions

2739
01:39:01,260 --> 01:39:04,980
in public subsidies for providing bogus child care

2740
01:39:04,980 --> 01:39:06,960
services to low income families.

2741
01:39:07,180 --> 01:39:10,920
In essence, this scheme was really involved creating

2742
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:12,480
a criminal enterprise.

2743
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,860
In December, Ramsey County charged DECO's owner with

2744
01:39:15,860 --> 01:39:16,280
fraud.

2745
01:39:16,480 --> 01:39:17,640
The daycares that I'm going to be showing

2746
01:39:17,640 --> 01:39:19,680
you from this point on all bill over

2747
01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:21,100
$100,000 a month.

2748
01:39:21,660 --> 01:39:24,260
Halicki says before he was fired, he was

2749
01:39:24,260 --> 01:39:27,160
tracking a similar scheme in Hennepin County involving

2750
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:28,980
multiple child care centers.

2751
01:39:28,980 --> 01:39:31,280
He offered to take us on a driving

2752
01:39:31,280 --> 01:39:33,360
tour to show what he'd uncovered.

2753
01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:34,760
Now what does this one say on the

2754
01:39:34,760 --> 01:39:35,000
door?

2755
01:39:35,940 --> 01:39:38,400
7 a.m. to 6 p.m. There

2756
01:39:38,400 --> 01:39:39,040
are no lights on.

2757
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:41,960
This building is housing its third daycare center

2758
01:39:41,960 --> 01:39:43,100
in as many years.

2759
01:39:43,320 --> 01:39:44,720
They just got a new license.

2760
01:39:44,940 --> 01:39:47,780
The two previous daycares had their public subsidies

2761
01:39:47,780 --> 01:39:51,060
stopped by the county because of billing irregularities.

2762
01:39:51,260 --> 01:39:53,460
Hour after hour, I would sit here and

2763
01:39:53,460 --> 01:39:54,620
document nothing.

2764
01:39:54,620 --> 01:39:57,640
Halicki discovered one center was charging the county

2765
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,760
for kids who were never dropped off.

2766
01:40:00,100 --> 01:40:01,520
Oh, I see the problem.

2767
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:03,740
This report is not sensational.

2768
01:40:04,100 --> 01:40:04,460
It's not.

2769
01:40:04,620 --> 01:40:06,920
This is this is this is why it

2770
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:07,820
never got anywhere.

2771
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:10,480
People just hear where I'm from.

2772
01:40:11,620 --> 01:40:12,320
It didn't know.

2773
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:12,780
I don't know.

2774
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,780
It's any less sensational than Nick, who roams

2775
01:40:15,780 --> 01:40:17,240
around very low key.

2776
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:18,840
He's I mean, no.

2777
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,360
Do they have are they knocking on doors

2778
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:22,040
in this report?

2779
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:23,040
Like where's the kids?

2780
01:40:23,040 --> 01:40:26,040
I think they're pretty close to it.

2781
01:40:26,280 --> 01:40:27,040
No, it's not.

2782
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:28,060
This is not the same.

2783
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:30,680
Where's the kids is better walking around.

2784
01:40:30,820 --> 01:40:32,520
Well, I'm not going to say where's the

2785
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:34,860
kids not better, but it's great.

2786
01:40:34,860 --> 01:40:37,600
But it's like this is a decade ago.

2787
01:40:38,140 --> 01:40:39,140
Yeah, this report.

2788
01:40:39,300 --> 01:40:40,740
Yes, it's awesome.

2789
01:40:43,780 --> 01:40:46,180
It's like this is like it's like it's

2790
01:40:46,180 --> 01:40:47,860
like part of the system.

2791
01:40:47,860 --> 01:40:49,200
This is the fraud.

2792
01:40:49,460 --> 01:40:49,740
This fraud.

2793
01:40:50,720 --> 01:40:52,460
This has got you know, this was that

2794
01:40:52,460 --> 01:40:54,000
there's a black guy who is an analyst.

2795
01:40:54,160 --> 01:40:55,140
I can't think of his name.

2796
01:40:55,380 --> 01:40:55,960
Mimi knows me.

2797
01:40:56,040 --> 01:40:58,160
She follows him who tracks it all back

2798
01:40:58,160 --> 01:41:00,280
to Obama, who brought the Somalians in in

2799
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:00,880
the first place.

2800
01:41:00,940 --> 01:41:03,180
And the Somalians, the way he sees it,

2801
01:41:03,580 --> 01:41:06,740
they're just patsies for the real crooks, which

2802
01:41:06,740 --> 01:41:10,620
are the white politicians in Minnesota, including walls.

2803
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:10,960
Yeah.

2804
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:12,760
And everybody in between.

2805
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:15,080
And these stupid Somalians, you know, the bulb

2806
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:17,320
head people, they they don't know what the

2807
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:18,100
hell's going on.

2808
01:41:18,140 --> 01:41:20,380
But they go along with the program because

2809
01:41:20,380 --> 01:41:20,900
they're told.

2810
01:41:21,260 --> 01:41:23,400
Well, we must remember that they were admitted

2811
01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,900
into the country under temporary protective status, temporary

2812
01:41:27,900 --> 01:41:29,480
protective status.

2813
01:41:30,460 --> 01:41:31,980
So, yeah, they were abused.

2814
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:33,840
And it's the same with the Haitians and

2815
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:36,460
the Haitians were bused immediately up to work

2816
01:41:36,460 --> 01:41:38,800
in the factories where they were eating the

2817
01:41:38,800 --> 01:41:39,800
dogs, eating the dogs.

2818
01:41:39,980 --> 01:41:40,640
I have emails.

2819
01:41:40,860 --> 01:41:41,720
I have documents.

2820
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,640
I have everything to prove they knew and

2821
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:45,500
they looked the other way.

2822
01:41:45,500 --> 01:41:47,720
Here's an email he sent to the supervisor

2823
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:48,780
of the fraud unit.

2824
01:41:49,220 --> 01:41:50,280
The goal was to stop.

2825
01:41:50,340 --> 01:41:51,600
Did you call him bulb heads?

2826
01:41:53,700 --> 01:41:54,720
What did you call him?

2827
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:55,760
Boy, that took a while.

2828
01:41:55,940 --> 01:41:57,460
It's 10 beats, maybe 20.

2829
01:41:57,620 --> 01:41:58,760
Was it bulb heads?

2830
01:41:58,860 --> 01:41:59,780
I don't want to make sure I because

2831
01:41:59,780 --> 01:42:00,860
that's a great show title.

2832
01:42:00,980 --> 01:42:01,880
I just want to make sure I got

2833
01:42:01,880 --> 01:42:02,720
all the heads.

2834
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:05,780
The goal was to stop the bleeding as

2835
01:42:05,780 --> 01:42:08,300
quickly as possible and protect taxpayer money from

2836
01:42:08,300 --> 01:42:09,200
going out the door.

2837
01:42:09,560 --> 01:42:11,280
Now you want to stop the process.

2838
01:42:11,620 --> 01:42:13,880
I know you're motivated and rightly concerned.

2839
01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:14,720
She responds.

2840
01:42:14,900 --> 01:42:17,300
Let's get a plan together to tackle these

2841
01:42:17,300 --> 01:42:17,660
centers.

2842
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:21,460
I don't think we would ever intentionally try

2843
01:42:21,460 --> 01:42:22,900
to deceive the public.

2844
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,800
County officials say they take all cases of

2845
01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:27,720
alleged daycare fraud seriously.

2846
01:42:28,060 --> 01:42:30,540
He says they don't want to point fingers

2847
01:42:30,540 --> 01:42:32,360
at various organizations and people.

2848
01:42:32,520 --> 01:42:34,740
This is nothing but a giant cover up.

2849
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,840
Yeah, I hear the report.

2850
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:38,500
I hear it.

2851
01:42:39,220 --> 01:42:39,940
But it's not.

2852
01:42:40,060 --> 01:42:43,480
I mean, you need Kony 2012 type stuff,

2853
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:45,980
man, which, by the way, was one year

2854
01:42:45,980 --> 01:42:46,900
before this report.

2855
01:42:47,180 --> 01:42:49,000
And that one got steam.

2856
01:42:49,220 --> 01:42:50,340
And where was it?

2857
01:42:50,400 --> 01:42:50,720
YouTube.

2858
01:42:50,980 --> 01:42:53,620
This just shows you the irrelevance of the

2859
01:42:53,620 --> 01:42:56,700
mainstream media, even though they set the tone,

2860
01:42:57,140 --> 01:43:00,060
everybody responds to it, post clip of it.

2861
01:43:00,260 --> 01:43:02,980
But when you get this new form of

2862
01:43:02,980 --> 01:43:05,880
media, it just it has this ability to

2863
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:06,500
take off.

2864
01:43:06,540 --> 01:43:07,320
And it's great.

2865
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:08,520
It's so different.

2866
01:43:09,700 --> 01:43:12,160
Well, I don't see the difference being that

2867
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:15,520
substantial, but I'm not going to disagree with

2868
01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,440
the fact that these that this got obviously

2869
01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:21,120
got no traction because these these clip the

2870
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:22,980
clip I'm playing, which we want to play

2871
01:43:22,980 --> 01:43:24,840
the last one, it's just pretty much reiteration.

2872
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,280
But the this clip is from a decade

2873
01:43:28,280 --> 01:43:28,780
ago.

2874
01:43:29,460 --> 01:43:30,500
Nothing's changed.

2875
01:43:30,620 --> 01:43:32,660
And the only thing that's changed is Nick

2876
01:43:32,660 --> 01:43:33,920
Shirley goes around.

2877
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:35,680
You know, the kid goes around.

2878
01:43:35,680 --> 01:43:38,440
It is a very low key style knocking

2879
01:43:38,440 --> 01:43:40,540
on doors, like you said, with his buddies

2880
01:43:40,540 --> 01:43:43,420
is, you know, this is the zoomer boom.

2881
01:43:43,620 --> 01:43:46,340
The zoomer boomer combo, which is the perfect

2882
01:43:46,340 --> 01:43:46,920
combo.

2883
01:43:47,020 --> 01:43:47,420
Perfect.

2884
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:48,240
Unstoppable.

2885
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:48,960
Unstoppable.

2886
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:49,340
Yes.

2887
01:43:49,440 --> 01:43:49,560
Yeah.

2888
01:43:49,680 --> 01:43:49,980
A force.

2889
01:43:50,100 --> 01:43:51,220
All these rumors out there.

2890
01:43:51,300 --> 01:43:52,740
And this, you know, we got you here.

2891
01:43:52,820 --> 01:43:53,980
You got two boomers here.

2892
01:43:54,040 --> 01:43:55,600
They should be using us.

2893
01:43:55,940 --> 01:43:59,240
Use us because nobody else did.

2894
01:43:59,300 --> 01:44:00,260
Take us on the road.

2895
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:00,840
We'll knock.

2896
01:44:01,980 --> 01:44:04,560
We'll knock on doors to knock on.

2897
01:44:05,260 --> 01:44:05,680
All right.

2898
01:44:05,760 --> 01:44:07,480
Here's I got a couple of clips here.

2899
01:44:07,740 --> 01:44:10,300
Our president decided he doesn't like the Somali

2900
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:12,420
community and he wants to destroy them.

2901
01:44:12,820 --> 01:44:15,560
Child care workers and advocates in Minnesota firing

2902
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,560
back against the Trump administration after the Department

2903
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:20,640
of Health and Human Services said it would

2904
01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,960
freeze federal funding for child care in response

2905
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,960
to allegations that daycare operators there have been

2906
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,580
misappropriating those funds for a decade.

2907
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:30,800
That announcement.

2908
01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:32,860
What do you guys think about the fraud

2909
01:44:32,860 --> 01:44:33,940
that's taking place here in Minnesota?

2910
01:44:33,940 --> 01:44:37,700
Following this viral video shot by MAGA influencer

2911
01:44:37,700 --> 01:44:38,560
Nick Shirley.

2912
01:44:39,020 --> 01:44:40,740
MAGA, MAGA, MAGA.

2913
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:41,120
Oh, yeah.

2914
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:42,760
I told you this is the term MAGA

2915
01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:43,300
influencer.

2916
01:44:43,680 --> 01:44:45,420
They're not a MAGA influencer.

2917
01:44:45,780 --> 01:44:47,540
But that's they're pushing back.

2918
01:44:47,660 --> 01:44:49,940
The system is pushing back on this.

2919
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:51,200
That's the point.

2920
01:44:51,380 --> 01:44:52,400
Where did you get this report?

2921
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:54,640
This is CBS.

2922
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:55,420
CBS.

2923
01:44:55,940 --> 01:44:56,680
Oh, CBS.

2924
01:44:56,800 --> 01:44:58,680
The new CBS is going to be honest

2925
01:44:58,680 --> 01:44:59,120
with us.

2926
01:44:59,320 --> 01:44:59,480
Yep.

2927
01:44:59,480 --> 01:45:01,800
In it, he alleges that about a dozen

2928
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:05,940
daycares receiving funding are not actually providing services.

2929
01:45:06,620 --> 01:45:09,100
But according to a separate analysis by CBS,

2930
01:45:09,480 --> 01:45:12,240
only two of those child care facilities mentioned

2931
01:45:12,240 --> 01:45:15,040
were shown to be without an active license.

2932
01:45:15,140 --> 01:45:18,040
And then they show some video like CCTV,

2933
01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,040
like a ring door cam video.

2934
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:21,920
And they put a date on it.

2935
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:23,160
Well, this was just yesterday.

2936
01:45:23,480 --> 01:45:26,000
It also was the new CBS is giving

2937
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:27,380
us the straight scoop now.

2938
01:45:27,380 --> 01:45:29,600
Well, to be honest, it's not the it's

2939
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:30,300
not our boy.

2940
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:32,520
This is a you know, this is this

2941
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:34,020
is it's not the evening news.

2942
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:37,740
It also revealed violations around safety and cleanliness,

2943
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:38,880
but not fraud.

2944
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,320
And this security footage shows children being dropped

2945
01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:45,720
off by their parents at ABC Learning, one

2946
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:46,300
of the facilities.

2947
01:45:46,300 --> 01:45:47,040
It's leering.

2948
01:45:47,340 --> 01:45:50,700
Facilities targeted by Shirley, the owner believes, for

2949
01:45:50,700 --> 01:45:51,640
political reasons.

2950
01:45:51,740 --> 01:45:52,520
What did I do?

2951
01:45:52,820 --> 01:45:55,280
I'm just a typical human being who wants

2952
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:56,860
to live and do the right thing.

2953
01:45:56,860 --> 01:45:58,540
I have kids to feed.

2954
01:45:58,920 --> 01:46:01,780
On X, it's hard to hear, but the

2955
01:46:01,780 --> 01:46:04,000
consistent message is what am I to do?

2956
01:46:04,100 --> 01:46:05,280
I have kids to feed.

2957
01:46:06,520 --> 01:46:10,200
You mean you your kids or, you know,

2958
01:46:10,340 --> 01:46:13,500
that they're answering the bulb heads are answering

2959
01:46:13,500 --> 01:46:14,880
in the wrong way.

2960
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:17,540
Just a typical human being who wants to

2961
01:46:17,540 --> 01:46:18,940
live and do the right thing.

2962
01:46:19,060 --> 01:46:20,520
I have kids to feed.

2963
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:24,340
On X, Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz acknowledged

2964
01:46:24,340 --> 01:46:26,800
issues of fraud within the child care system,

2965
01:46:27,140 --> 01:46:29,880
saying he spent years cracking down on fraudsters

2966
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:33,000
and accuses Trump of politicizing the issue to

2967
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,420
defund programs that help Minnesotans.

2968
01:46:35,700 --> 01:46:38,160
Intrepid journalists have made shocking and credible allegations

2969
01:46:38,160 --> 01:46:41,480
of HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill now

2970
01:46:41,480 --> 01:46:45,420
says he's requiring justification before federal payments are

2971
01:46:45,420 --> 01:46:48,720
made and demanding that Governor Walz conduct an

2972
01:46:48,720 --> 01:46:50,380
audit of the daycares in question.

2973
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,880
He's also launched a fraud reporting hotline.

2974
01:46:53,880 --> 01:46:56,640
OK, so the fun way before you go

2975
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:57,840
any further.

2976
01:46:58,460 --> 01:47:01,720
That comment about Trump's, you know, just taking

2977
01:47:01,720 --> 01:47:02,920
advantage of the situation.

2978
01:47:03,440 --> 01:47:05,980
I don't have the clip, but Matt Taibbi

2979
01:47:05,980 --> 01:47:08,520
and Walter Kern were doing a podcast or

2980
01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:10,120
something or so, or they're doing a hit,

2981
01:47:10,440 --> 01:47:13,420
probably a hit on CNBC or not CNBC,

2982
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:14,280
but MSNBC.

2983
01:47:15,860 --> 01:47:19,620
And and Taibbi says he had looked into

2984
01:47:19,620 --> 01:47:22,940
this fraud stuff two years ago and more

2985
01:47:22,940 --> 01:47:26,020
recently had taken it directly to the Trump

2986
01:47:26,020 --> 01:47:29,480
attorney general's office with this, you know, saying,

2987
01:47:29,620 --> 01:47:30,440
look at this.

2988
01:47:30,540 --> 01:47:31,340
This is a good one.

2989
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:33,100
You should do something about it is according

2990
01:47:33,100 --> 01:47:33,820
to Taibbi.

2991
01:47:34,200 --> 01:47:36,040
And they said, yeah, whatever.

2992
01:47:36,220 --> 01:47:37,320
They didn't do anything.

2993
01:47:37,880 --> 01:47:39,980
So so the and so Taibbi is pushing

2994
01:47:39,980 --> 01:47:41,660
back on the fact that they think Trump

2995
01:47:41,660 --> 01:47:44,520
is exploiting it because when given the opportunity

2996
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,560
to actually exploit it, they rebuked it.

2997
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:50,400
Yeah, but but this is the what was

2998
01:47:50,400 --> 01:47:50,500
it?

2999
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:53,000
Lara Logan said the the office of the

3000
01:47:53,000 --> 01:47:58,260
inspector general's counsel, Starfleet Command, that they determine

3001
01:47:58,260 --> 01:47:59,520
what gets investigated.

3002
01:48:00,140 --> 01:48:04,220
So it's the inspector's general that may be

3003
01:48:04,220 --> 01:48:04,840
the issue.

3004
01:48:05,700 --> 01:48:08,660
And I'm not sure who who is in

3005
01:48:08,660 --> 01:48:10,620
charge of this, but once it's out, once

3006
01:48:10,620 --> 01:48:13,460
it's out on on YouTube and once it

3007
01:48:13,460 --> 01:48:15,640
catches fire and it's on X and everything,

3008
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:17,800
then it catches the president's eye.

3009
01:48:18,120 --> 01:48:19,460
You I don't think it was ever brought

3010
01:48:19,460 --> 01:48:19,900
to him.

3011
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:22,660
So, yeah, of course, they're pushing back and

3012
01:48:22,660 --> 01:48:25,100
saying it's political because they know that they're

3013
01:48:25,100 --> 01:48:25,700
in trouble.

3014
01:48:25,980 --> 01:48:27,400
And then this is the best.

3015
01:48:27,460 --> 01:48:31,600
So they had a a press conference with

3016
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,300
a whole bunch of people saying Trump sucks,

3017
01:48:34,420 --> 01:48:35,280
save our children.

3018
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:39,000
And then they bring out one of these

3019
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:44,240
Somali workers at the at the I don't

3020
01:48:44,240 --> 01:48:46,060
know if she was from the Leering Center,

3021
01:48:46,500 --> 01:48:47,640
but one of these daycares.

3022
01:48:48,300 --> 01:48:49,560
And it's too bad we don't have video

3023
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:51,820
in this case because her expression is priceless.

3024
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:54,620
If child care is cut, I'm unable to

3025
01:48:54,620 --> 01:48:55,740
work or go to school.

3026
01:48:56,520 --> 01:48:58,680
I understand fraud is bad.

3027
01:48:59,260 --> 01:48:59,360
What?

3028
01:48:59,940 --> 01:49:02,860
So she says, if child care is cut,

3029
01:49:03,100 --> 01:49:05,000
I'm unable to go to school.

3030
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,280
Now, I understand fraud is bad.

3031
01:49:07,380 --> 01:49:10,160
And then she puts she clasps or that's

3032
01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:11,820
she claps her hand in front of her

3033
01:49:11,820 --> 01:49:14,500
mouth like, oops, what did I just say?

3034
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:17,200
If child care is cut, I'm unable to

3035
01:49:17,200 --> 01:49:18,320
work or go to school.

3036
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:21,260
I understand fraud is bad.

3037
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:23,800
But but I need to go to school.

3038
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:26,480
Clap, clap for her.

3039
01:49:26,520 --> 01:49:27,320
Clap her quick.

3040
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:28,700
Very good.

3041
01:49:28,780 --> 01:49:29,600
Oh, you're so brave.

3042
01:49:30,380 --> 01:49:32,660
And then we have a non Somali woman,

3043
01:49:32,720 --> 01:49:34,380
some white woman, and she does exactly the

3044
01:49:34,380 --> 01:49:34,740
same.

3045
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:36,440
And I do see some signs over here

3046
01:49:36,440 --> 01:49:37,440
that say stop fraud.

3047
01:49:37,440 --> 01:49:38,080
And I agree.

3048
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:38,820
Stop it.

3049
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:42,320
There are wait lists for these programs that

3050
01:49:42,320 --> 01:49:43,660
are years long.

3051
01:49:44,300 --> 01:49:45,240
There is fraud.

3052
01:49:45,520 --> 01:49:47,920
There is whoops, whoops.

3053
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:51,000
They're all admitting there's fraud.

3054
01:49:51,100 --> 01:49:52,960
It's coming right out of their pie holes.

3055
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:58,440
And then the best is this manager who

3056
01:49:58,440 --> 01:49:59,840
says he's Somali American.

3057
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:03,100
He probably was born here, although seems unlikely

3058
01:50:03,100 --> 01:50:05,020
because he looks like he's older than 10.

3059
01:50:05,860 --> 01:50:09,020
And and I wish I wish you could

3060
01:50:09,020 --> 01:50:10,400
investigate us for fraud.

3061
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:11,540
But unfortunately.

3062
01:50:13,860 --> 01:50:17,280
Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation,

3063
01:50:17,980 --> 01:50:22,020
enrollment of the children, and also employee documentation

3064
01:50:22,020 --> 01:50:22,580
that was gone.

3065
01:50:22,840 --> 01:50:23,320
It's gone.

3066
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:24,260
It was broken into.

3067
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:24,920
It was stolen.

3068
01:50:25,060 --> 01:50:26,220
All the evidence is gone.

3069
01:50:26,780 --> 01:50:31,280
There were also checkbooks that were ripped from

3070
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:33,720
our checkpapers from our book.

3071
01:50:33,880 --> 01:50:35,380
The checkbooks are gone.

3072
01:50:35,460 --> 01:50:37,380
We can't show any money going in or

3073
01:50:37,380 --> 01:50:37,720
out.

3074
01:50:37,880 --> 01:50:38,520
This is horrible.

3075
01:50:38,700 --> 01:50:39,880
Oh, no, by the way.

3076
01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:41,600
This this.

3077
01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:45,280
For people don't know what Adam is playing,

3078
01:50:45,440 --> 01:50:47,520
this is a clip of a guy who

3079
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:52,200
claims that this is his daycare was was

3080
01:50:52,200 --> 01:50:55,940
busted into and they stole the employment records

3081
01:50:55,940 --> 01:50:58,320
and the records of the kids for would

3082
01:50:58,320 --> 01:50:59,160
know it.

3083
01:50:59,340 --> 01:51:01,140
This is like this is worse than a

3084
01:51:01,140 --> 01:51:02,980
10 year old and the dog in my

3085
01:51:02,980 --> 01:51:03,620
homework.

3086
01:51:04,340 --> 01:51:06,860
It's so it's so idiotic.

3087
01:51:06,860 --> 01:51:08,180
Why would anyone's?

3088
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:11,340
And of course, the investigators have gone in

3089
01:51:11,340 --> 01:51:12,780
and they don't see anything missing.

3090
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,280
It's just like it's the weakest thing.

3091
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:17,440
It's almost pathetic.

3092
01:51:17,980 --> 01:51:21,020
It's almost pathetic to think that you can

3093
01:51:21,020 --> 01:51:23,720
make this lie and people would believe it.

3094
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:26,400
Well, that's what children do.

3095
01:51:28,420 --> 01:51:29,500
Now, of course.

3096
01:51:30,480 --> 01:51:32,060
You play the rest of that clip is.

3097
01:51:32,260 --> 01:51:33,120
Oh, you want to hear the whole thing?

3098
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:33,960
OK, yeah.

3099
01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:36,780
All right, I'll start it over.

3100
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:40,720
Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation,

3101
01:51:41,400 --> 01:51:45,460
enrollment of the children and also employee documentation

3102
01:51:45,460 --> 01:51:46,000
that was gone.

3103
01:51:46,900 --> 01:51:51,560
There were also checkbooks that were ripped from

3104
01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:54,020
our checkpapers from our book.

3105
01:51:54,940 --> 01:51:58,560
This is devastating news, and we don't know

3106
01:51:58,560 --> 01:52:00,980
why this is targeting our Somali community as

3107
01:52:00,980 --> 01:52:05,840
one video made by a specific individual made

3108
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:06,440
this all happen.

3109
01:52:07,680 --> 01:52:12,040
We've been receiving hateful messages through our voice

3110
01:52:12,040 --> 01:52:14,800
threatening us since the past couple of days.

3111
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:15,440
Oh, no.

3112
01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,560
Including one that happened yesterday morning when the

3113
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:20,900
break in after the break in.

3114
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:25,680
This is frightening and exhausting because this is

3115
01:52:25,680 --> 01:52:30,060
happening to us, Somali communities as Somali Americans.

3116
01:52:30,340 --> 01:52:32,260
We are supposed to stand with each other

3117
01:52:32,260 --> 01:52:34,620
and help each other through everything that's happening.

3118
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:38,880
This is also sad that a video can

3119
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:39,720
cause all of this.

3120
01:52:40,900 --> 01:52:42,680
I want to say that there are hundreds

3121
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:45,340
of daycares out there, Somali daycares that are

3122
01:52:45,340 --> 01:52:49,380
out there, and we all help our children

3123
01:52:49,380 --> 01:52:51,220
and everyone in our community.

3124
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:52,500
Uh-huh.

3125
01:52:52,940 --> 01:52:56,080
We have high quality daycares, and this is

3126
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:59,440
very sad news that one individual who made

3127
01:52:59,440 --> 01:53:01,440
a false claim about fraud that is happening

3128
01:53:01,440 --> 01:53:04,660
in the daycares helped engage everyone else to

3129
01:53:04,660 --> 01:53:06,420
come and do this to us.

3130
01:53:06,700 --> 01:53:08,260
I mean, what I keep hearing as an

3131
01:53:08,260 --> 01:53:12,060
undertone, and I don't blame them because you're

3132
01:53:12,060 --> 01:53:14,940
right, I'm sure there's people managing this stuff,

3133
01:53:15,020 --> 01:53:18,080
and hopefully that'll come to light, you hear

3134
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:19,960
them all saying, well, but this is what

3135
01:53:19,960 --> 01:53:20,340
we do.

3136
01:53:20,540 --> 01:53:21,660
This is our income.

3137
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:24,460
You can't take away our income by cutting

3138
01:53:24,460 --> 01:53:25,120
off the money.

3139
01:53:25,620 --> 01:53:27,560
We have daycares, and no one shows up,

3140
01:53:27,600 --> 01:53:28,360
and that's what we do.

3141
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:30,320
It's our job.

3142
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:32,680
It's almost as if they don't understand what's

3143
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:33,320
going on.

3144
01:53:34,180 --> 01:53:37,060
And so now, of course, everybody's going to

3145
01:53:37,060 --> 01:53:39,280
be, what's the kid?

3146
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:40,440
I keep forgetting his name.

3147
01:53:40,620 --> 01:53:40,900
Nick?

3148
01:53:41,260 --> 01:53:41,540
Nick?

3149
01:53:41,660 --> 01:53:42,420
Nick Shirley.

3150
01:53:42,560 --> 01:53:43,060
Nick Shirley.

3151
01:53:43,060 --> 01:53:45,560
Everyone's going to be a Nick Shirley, and

3152
01:53:45,560 --> 01:53:46,080
they're all gone.

3153
01:53:46,220 --> 01:53:48,340
Now everyone's hooking up with boomers wherever they

3154
01:53:48,340 --> 01:53:48,660
can.

3155
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:51,680
By the way, Troll Room, go out and

3156
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:52,640
do some work.

3157
01:53:53,140 --> 01:53:55,240
We'll be your boomer to your zoomer.

3158
01:53:55,840 --> 01:53:57,660
We will blow it wide open.

3159
01:53:58,500 --> 01:53:59,480
Anything you find.

3160
01:54:00,060 --> 01:54:01,480
No, I'm just going to sit here and

3161
01:54:01,480 --> 01:54:01,880
complain.

3162
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:04,180
You're from Canada.

3163
01:54:04,820 --> 01:54:05,520
Yeah, I wish.

3164
01:54:07,740 --> 01:54:11,300
So we move from Somalians to the Haitians,

3165
01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:13,700
and this is Massachusetts.

3166
01:54:14,140 --> 01:54:20,280
This is Nate Friedman, just another YouTuber asking

3167
01:54:20,280 --> 01:54:23,820
questions, and he's got some interesting data with

3168
01:54:23,820 --> 01:54:27,400
a guy he talked to who was a

3169
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,320
manager at a migrant hotel.

3170
01:54:30,700 --> 01:54:32,980
And the media wants to make it sound

3171
01:54:32,980 --> 01:54:35,160
like most of the residents are.

3172
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:36,320
I'm sorry, let me start with this one.

3173
01:54:36,560 --> 01:54:37,540
My name is John Phillipson.

3174
01:54:37,620 --> 01:54:40,980
I'm a former migrant shelter director in Massachusetts.

3175
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:42,660
I helped out in a couple of different

3176
01:54:42,660 --> 01:54:42,960
sites.

3177
01:54:43,140 --> 01:54:43,980
Everything is free.

3178
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:46,900
I cannot stress the word, everything is free.

3179
01:54:47,060 --> 01:54:48,200
Everybody has a nice car.

3180
01:54:48,580 --> 01:54:50,500
Most of them have nice cars, but when

3181
01:54:50,500 --> 01:54:52,880
they have a doctor's appointment in Boston or

3182
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:55,980
they have a immigration hearing in New Hampshire,

3183
01:54:56,420 --> 01:54:58,100
which is an hour and a half away,

3184
01:54:58,460 --> 01:54:59,620
you think they use their own car?

3185
01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:00,220
Nope.

3186
01:55:00,540 --> 01:55:01,660
They say, oh, I need an Uber.

3187
01:55:02,020 --> 01:55:03,440
I need a Lyft.

3188
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,880
How much is given for rides for Uber

3189
01:55:05,880 --> 01:55:06,260
and Lyft?

3190
01:55:06,460 --> 01:55:08,260
The amount of money that we would spend

3191
01:55:08,260 --> 01:55:10,960
on Ubers and Lyfts was well in excess

3192
01:55:10,960 --> 01:55:12,480
of $100,000 a month.

3193
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:12,900
A month?

3194
01:55:13,260 --> 01:55:13,880
A month, yeah.

3195
01:55:14,220 --> 01:55:16,460
As good as Lyft and Uber had it,

3196
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:18,700
Amazon had it 10 times better.

3197
01:55:19,100 --> 01:55:19,780
And how's that?

3198
01:55:19,980 --> 01:55:21,100
How did Amazon work into this?

3199
01:55:21,360 --> 01:55:23,960
Every day, I would order tens of thousands

3200
01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:26,320
of dollars worth of product from Amazon every

3201
01:55:26,320 --> 01:55:28,080
single day, seven days a week.

3202
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:30,260
One day, I would do a huge diaper

3203
01:55:30,260 --> 01:55:31,740
delivery, and the next day, I would do

3204
01:55:31,740 --> 01:55:32,760
a formula delivery.

3205
01:55:32,760 --> 01:55:35,120
The next day, I would buy toothbrushes and

3206
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:37,480
hair dryers and combs and strollers.

3207
01:55:37,740 --> 01:55:39,220
Anything that they needed, they got.

3208
01:55:39,380 --> 01:55:42,660
As the hotel got overtaken by migrant families,

3209
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:44,680
there was not enough capacity, and there were

3210
01:55:44,680 --> 01:55:47,100
fights breaking out over washers and dryers.

3211
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,160
So the state contracted this company to come

3212
01:55:50,160 --> 01:55:52,960
in five days a week and do everybody's

3213
01:55:52,960 --> 01:55:53,260
laundry.

3214
01:55:53,460 --> 01:55:55,160
You put your laundry out by 7 o

3215
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:56,980
'clock, it's back by 5 o'clock, and

3216
01:55:56,980 --> 01:55:59,360
it all comes back folded in these nice

3217
01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:01,100
bags, and it's free.

3218
01:56:01,580 --> 01:56:04,700
Or the taxpayers of Massachusetts pay for it.

3219
01:56:05,140 --> 01:56:06,140
Now, just imagine.

3220
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:07,800
What a bonanza for everybody.

3221
01:56:08,400 --> 01:56:09,300
This is unbelievable.

3222
01:56:09,820 --> 01:56:10,320
For Uber and Lyft?

3223
01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:11,160
By the way, I'm going to give you

3224
01:56:11,160 --> 01:56:12,520
a borderline clip of the day because that

3225
01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:14,540
hasn't floated around as much.

3226
01:56:16,340 --> 01:56:18,280
But wait, there's a kicker.

3227
01:56:18,540 --> 01:56:20,300
There's a kicker to these Haitians.

3228
01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:22,760
And the media wants to make it sound

3229
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:26,240
like most of the residents are escaping the

3230
01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:27,060
horrors of Haiti.

3231
01:56:27,060 --> 01:56:28,680
But they go, well, you know, I was

3232
01:56:28,680 --> 01:56:31,920
in Chile for 10 years after the earthquake

3233
01:56:31,920 --> 01:56:32,520
in Haiti.

3234
01:56:32,740 --> 01:56:33,540
You're like, what?

3235
01:56:33,780 --> 01:56:35,700
So you didn't leave Haiti like this year?

3236
01:56:35,820 --> 01:56:37,240
No, I left 10 years ago, and I

3237
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:37,760
went to Chile.

3238
01:56:37,980 --> 01:56:38,960
And then they made us work.

3239
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:40,180
So then we went to Brazil.

3240
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:42,140
And we were content in Brazil.

3241
01:56:42,300 --> 01:56:43,540
And then I'm like, well, why'd you come

3242
01:56:43,540 --> 01:56:44,080
to America?

3243
01:56:44,220 --> 01:56:46,560
Well, we came to America because Joe Biden

3244
01:56:46,560 --> 01:56:47,940
told us everything was free.

3245
01:56:50,520 --> 01:56:52,140
Ten years, hadn't been in Haiti.

3246
01:56:52,560 --> 01:56:53,320
But I'm Haitian.

3247
01:56:54,220 --> 01:56:55,440
I was living in Chile.

3248
01:56:56,740 --> 01:56:57,860
Hanging out there.

3249
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,280
And I decided to come to America.

3250
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:02,680
Land of endless possibilities.

3251
01:57:03,020 --> 01:57:05,760
As Joe Biden said, everything is free.

3252
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:09,400
By the way, we have our...

3253
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:10,860
I believe that report to be true.

3254
01:57:11,060 --> 01:57:11,780
I believe it too.

3255
01:57:12,300 --> 01:57:14,320
We have a Discord, by the way, for

3256
01:57:14,320 --> 01:57:16,780
all you Zoomers, you Gen Zeds.

3257
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:18,700
I can't, you know, I go on at

3258
01:57:18,700 --> 01:57:19,260
five seconds.

3259
01:57:19,320 --> 01:57:20,020
I can't take it.

3260
01:57:20,900 --> 01:57:22,040
Oh, you already registered?

3261
01:57:22,200 --> 01:57:22,460
You're on?

3262
01:57:23,100 --> 01:57:24,860
Yeah, somebody got me on it early.

3263
01:57:24,860 --> 01:57:26,360
Well, this is Patrick Kobel.

3264
01:57:27,100 --> 01:57:27,900
Is that the one?

3265
01:57:27,900 --> 01:57:28,180
Yes, Kobel.

3266
01:57:28,280 --> 01:57:28,500
Yeah.

3267
01:57:28,700 --> 01:57:28,960
Yeah.

3268
01:57:29,180 --> 01:57:31,320
Because I had to reset my password or

3269
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:31,580
something.

3270
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:32,980
I guess I signed up for a Discord

3271
01:57:32,980 --> 01:57:33,500
somewhere.

3272
01:57:33,700 --> 01:57:35,920
And I'm still waiting for the password reset.

3273
01:57:36,020 --> 01:57:38,040
But it's noagendadiscord.com.

3274
01:57:38,520 --> 01:57:38,740
Yeah.

3275
01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:40,940
So, well, we need this.

3276
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:42,380
This is where we're going to start the

3277
01:57:42,380 --> 01:57:42,820
revolution.

3278
01:57:43,360 --> 01:57:45,400
Yeah, the next Fediverse.

3279
01:57:47,520 --> 01:57:49,040
There are already people in there?

3280
01:57:49,160 --> 01:57:50,760
I didn't know there were already people in

3281
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:50,940
there.

3282
01:57:51,020 --> 01:57:52,460
Yeah, I think it's pretty active.

3283
01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:54,380
But it's like, you know, it's what it

3284
01:57:54,380 --> 01:57:54,680
is.

3285
01:57:54,680 --> 01:58:01,620
It's like, you know, it's beyond me why

3286
01:58:01,620 --> 01:58:03,320
these things are attractive.

3287
01:58:04,840 --> 01:58:07,060
Well, because that's what people like to do.

3288
01:58:07,260 --> 01:58:09,460
Like Lady Vox, like the trolls do a

3289
01:58:09,460 --> 01:58:10,240
lot of good work.

3290
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:11,020
No, they don't.

3291
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:12,040
Absolutely zero.

3292
01:58:14,320 --> 01:58:17,080
No, that's a percentage point.

3293
01:58:17,180 --> 01:58:18,520
Once in a while, they give you a

3294
01:58:18,520 --> 01:58:20,560
punchline about once in a while.

3295
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:22,620
But, you know, I have to be looking

3296
01:58:22,620 --> 01:58:25,780
at all of the Trump does nothing, sucks,

3297
01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:28,020
Israel, yeshiel, Hasbra.

3298
01:58:29,100 --> 01:58:29,540
OK.

3299
01:58:30,300 --> 01:58:30,500
What?

3300
01:58:31,920 --> 01:58:32,360
Hasbra.

3301
01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:35,520
It's somehow it's some Jewish slur.

3302
01:58:35,620 --> 01:58:36,680
I haven't figured it out yet.

3303
01:58:38,640 --> 01:58:40,800
There's a Jewish slur they're throwing at you?

3304
01:58:40,900 --> 01:58:41,360
Let me see.

3305
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:42,420
What is Hasbra?

3306
01:58:44,080 --> 01:58:45,520
I think it's a toy company.

3307
01:58:46,020 --> 01:58:46,820
No, the Hasbro.

3308
01:58:47,660 --> 01:58:48,100
Hasbra.

3309
01:58:48,620 --> 01:58:49,020
Oh, here.

3310
01:58:49,020 --> 01:58:51,820
Hasbra, the public diplomacy of Israel.

3311
01:58:53,100 --> 01:58:57,200
Or Hasbra includes mass communication and individual interaction

3312
01:58:57,200 --> 01:59:00,180
with foreign nationals through social media and traditional

3313
01:59:00,180 --> 01:59:00,620
media.

3314
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:01,520
Well, there we go.

3315
01:59:02,220 --> 01:59:02,860
That's it.

3316
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:05,660
They're saying, calling you a shill.

3317
01:59:05,820 --> 01:59:06,580
Yes, exactly.

3318
01:59:07,380 --> 01:59:08,400
Well, you too.

3319
01:59:09,020 --> 01:59:10,600
It's just, you know, I don't do anything.

3320
01:59:10,700 --> 01:59:11,720
They're calling me a shill.

3321
01:59:11,840 --> 01:59:12,760
Oh, no, you are.

3322
01:59:12,800 --> 01:59:14,640
I have not seen any evidence of them

3323
01:59:14,640 --> 01:59:15,540
calling me a shill.

3324
01:59:15,780 --> 01:59:17,380
We all we all know that you're the

3325
01:59:17,380 --> 01:59:17,700
shill.

3326
01:59:17,700 --> 01:59:19,140
You're the handler, man.

3327
01:59:19,200 --> 01:59:20,180
You're the Hasbra handler.

3328
01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:21,660
Ooh, alliteration.

3329
01:59:21,760 --> 01:59:22,260
I love it.

3330
01:59:23,100 --> 01:59:23,960
Hasbra handler.

3331
01:59:26,420 --> 01:59:28,860
Um, let's, uh, let's see.

3332
01:59:29,380 --> 01:59:31,080
What do we have going on here?

3333
01:59:31,420 --> 01:59:32,840
Oh, I just want to get back to

3334
01:59:32,840 --> 01:59:33,640
AI for a second.

3335
01:59:33,740 --> 01:59:34,360
It's hilarious.

3336
01:59:35,100 --> 01:59:37,960
You know how we know that AI will

3337
01:59:37,960 --> 01:59:39,880
never be able to do a podcast because,

3338
01:59:40,020 --> 01:59:43,300
well, maybe by itself, I guess, or that

3339
01:59:43,300 --> 01:59:45,620
that stupid notebook LLM.

3340
01:59:45,740 --> 01:59:46,560
Let's dive in.

3341
01:59:47,800 --> 01:59:49,800
But you can't dive in, but you can't

3342
01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:52,120
have a conversation with a chat bot like

3343
01:59:52,120 --> 01:59:53,440
we like you and I have on a

3344
01:59:53,440 --> 01:59:54,880
podcast, right?

3345
01:59:54,880 --> 01:59:56,960
As is evidenced by this young woman who

3346
01:59:56,960 --> 01:59:58,720
had, I think, a pretty good idea.

3347
01:59:59,200 --> 02:00:01,140
Is this a AI we're going to hear?

3348
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,020
Well, it's a woman and AI, a young

3349
02:00:04,020 --> 02:00:04,940
girl, young woman.

3350
02:00:05,440 --> 02:00:07,320
And she's doing, you know, it's very fashionable.

3351
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:09,200
If you're going to audition for a movie,

3352
02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:11,280
when you do this, you have to cut

3353
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:12,500
it up a lot because there's a big

3354
02:00:12,500 --> 02:00:14,300
leg because you try talking to the robot

3355
02:00:14,300 --> 02:00:16,060
and you've given up on it because it

3356
02:00:16,060 --> 02:00:18,020
takes forever for the robot to respond.

3357
02:00:18,740 --> 02:00:21,980
So whatever robot she's using, it was a

3358
02:00:21,980 --> 02:00:22,580
good idea.

3359
02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:25,060
She is doing an audition tape and it's

3360
02:00:25,060 --> 02:00:28,280
very normal these days that really start with

3361
02:00:28,280 --> 02:00:28,600
COVID.

3362
02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:31,340
But even before COVID, you want to audition

3363
02:00:31,340 --> 02:00:32,120
for this part.

3364
02:00:32,300 --> 02:00:34,780
They'll send you the sides, which is jargon

3365
02:00:34,780 --> 02:00:35,480
for the script.

3366
02:00:36,020 --> 02:00:37,600
And then you have somebody, you know, just

3367
02:00:37,600 --> 02:00:39,500
put a camera on you and someone reads

3368
02:00:39,500 --> 02:00:41,980
off camera and the other lines and you

3369
02:00:41,980 --> 02:00:42,700
read your lines.

3370
02:00:42,780 --> 02:00:44,300
And that's how auditions are done.

3371
02:00:44,300 --> 02:00:45,820
It's very normal these days.

3372
02:00:46,420 --> 02:00:48,060
So she had a good idea.

3373
02:00:48,200 --> 02:00:52,660
She put the sides into her robot and

3374
02:00:52,660 --> 02:00:54,060
said, OK, read with me.

3375
02:00:54,340 --> 02:00:56,600
So the idea is the robot reads the

3376
02:00:56,600 --> 02:00:59,900
line that precedes hers and then she reads

3377
02:00:59,900 --> 02:01:00,440
her line.

3378
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:01,960
Then the robot reads the next line.

3379
02:01:02,500 --> 02:01:05,200
I thought that was, I'm like, wow, for

3380
02:01:05,200 --> 02:01:08,960
$1.3 trillion, besides put a bikini on

3381
02:01:08,960 --> 02:01:09,180
her.

3382
02:01:09,380 --> 02:01:11,060
This is actually a pretty good idea.

3383
02:01:11,620 --> 02:01:12,860
Well, here's how it worked out.

3384
02:01:12,860 --> 02:01:13,940
So here we go.

3385
02:01:14,160 --> 02:01:16,340
Three, two, one.

3386
02:01:16,540 --> 02:01:17,920
What the hell do you want, Amanda?

3387
02:01:18,020 --> 02:01:18,660
Get lost.

3388
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:21,100
And now just jump in with Amanda's part

3389
02:01:21,100 --> 02:01:21,840
whenever you're ready.

3390
02:01:22,120 --> 02:01:22,280
Yes.

3391
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:23,300
So don't say that.

3392
02:01:23,380 --> 02:01:26,200
Just read your line and then I'll come

3393
02:01:26,200 --> 02:01:27,840
with mine when I'm ready, OK?

3394
02:01:29,740 --> 02:01:30,600
Got it, Liane.

3395
02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:31,540
All right.

3396
02:01:31,600 --> 02:01:33,600
I'll just dive straight into Evelyn's line.

3397
02:01:34,100 --> 02:01:35,020
And here we go.

3398
02:01:35,820 --> 02:01:37,220
What the hell do you want, Amanda?

3399
02:01:37,300 --> 02:01:38,020
Get lost.

3400
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:39,240
Take your time.

3401
02:01:39,780 --> 02:01:42,300
I just don't say take your time.

3402
02:01:42,300 --> 02:01:43,980
Just say your line and then I'll say

3403
02:01:43,980 --> 02:01:44,600
mine, OK?

3404
02:01:44,760 --> 02:01:45,620
Let's try this again.

3405
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:47,880
Absolutely.

3406
02:01:48,020 --> 02:01:49,040
Let's keep it straightforward.

3407
02:01:49,220 --> 02:01:50,240
Here's Evelyn's line.

3408
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:52,380
What the hell do you want, Amanda?

3409
02:01:52,460 --> 02:01:53,100
Get lost.

3410
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:55,960
Look, don't say now it's your turn.

3411
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:56,540
I know.

3412
02:01:56,820 --> 02:01:57,740
Just say your line.

3413
02:01:58,120 --> 02:01:58,420
Ready?

3414
02:01:58,540 --> 02:01:58,820
Go.

3415
02:02:00,620 --> 02:02:01,380
All right, Liane.

3416
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:02,540
Let's jump right in.

3417
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:04,920
What the hell do you want, Amanda?

3418
02:02:05,460 --> 02:02:06,120
Get lost.

3419
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:07,220
And there we go.

3420
02:02:07,700 --> 02:02:08,400
Don't say it.

3421
02:02:08,460 --> 02:02:09,040
And there we go.

3422
02:02:09,180 --> 02:02:10,440
Just say your line, OK?

3423
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:11,880
Start to try again.

3424
02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:14,220
You got it, Liane.

3425
02:02:14,420 --> 02:02:15,560
Let's keep it focused.

3426
02:02:16,140 --> 02:02:18,320
What the hell do you want, Amanda?

3427
02:02:18,880 --> 02:02:19,640
Get lost.

3428
02:02:20,080 --> 02:02:22,040
Look, I just don't say over to you.

3429
02:02:22,120 --> 02:02:22,680
Don't say anything.

3430
02:02:24,600 --> 02:02:25,160
Wow.

3431
02:02:25,600 --> 02:02:26,840
That's so amazing.

3432
02:02:27,100 --> 02:02:28,120
It's so dumb.

3433
02:02:28,480 --> 02:02:30,460
1.3 trillion and counting.

3434
02:02:30,680 --> 02:02:33,980
And the funny thing, the noteworthy thing there

3435
02:02:33,980 --> 02:02:37,220
is that every time she tells the robot

3436
02:02:37,220 --> 02:02:39,560
to do it a different way, the robot

3437
02:02:39,560 --> 02:02:40,980
always has to, always.

3438
02:02:41,160 --> 02:02:42,500
And I think this is true with most

3439
02:02:42,500 --> 02:02:44,360
of the AI that you interact with.

3440
02:02:44,880 --> 02:02:46,580
It always has to acknowledge.

3441
02:02:48,740 --> 02:02:49,020
Oh, yeah.

3442
02:02:49,140 --> 02:02:49,560
Oh, OK.

3443
02:02:49,740 --> 02:02:50,240
Oh, OK.

3444
02:02:50,240 --> 02:02:51,020
I can do it that way.

3445
02:02:51,240 --> 02:02:52,340
Oh, OK.

3446
02:02:52,740 --> 02:02:55,080
It always says, it always acknowledges.

3447
02:02:55,220 --> 02:02:57,820
Every single time it acknowledges instead of just

3448
02:02:57,820 --> 02:02:58,540
doing it.

3449
02:02:59,780 --> 02:03:01,960
So she wants it to just read the

3450
02:03:01,960 --> 02:03:02,340
lines.

3451
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:04,740
So I said, you're not reading the lines.

3452
02:03:04,820 --> 02:03:06,180
You're reading the lines and saying, so just

3453
02:03:06,180 --> 02:03:06,760
read the lines.

3454
02:03:06,900 --> 02:03:07,920
Oh, OK, I'll do that.

3455
02:03:08,880 --> 02:03:10,320
No, no, just read the lines.

3456
02:03:10,420 --> 02:03:11,400
Yeah, got it.

3457
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:14,700
So AI is so good that law firms

3458
02:03:14,700 --> 02:03:18,260
are now offering up to $200,000 signing

3459
02:03:18,260 --> 02:03:22,840
bonuses for mid-level young lawyers who, you

3460
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:25,000
know, when you're working on a big case

3461
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:27,160
or a lot of it is, you know,

3462
02:03:27,180 --> 02:03:28,060
financial stuff.

3463
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:29,580
Beginning of the end.

3464
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:31,240
What do you mean?

3465
02:03:32,280 --> 02:03:34,040
You start doing, they're going to be so

3466
02:03:34,040 --> 02:03:36,840
much bad law written in this phone because

3467
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:37,760
they hallucinate.

3468
02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:38,520
I know what you're getting.

3469
02:03:38,700 --> 02:03:41,400
Well, no, the story can't be a positive

3470
02:03:41,400 --> 02:03:42,180
thing to do.

3471
02:03:42,820 --> 02:03:45,000
No, the story is that they want young

3472
02:03:45,000 --> 02:03:47,060
lawyers as soon as possible.

3473
02:03:47,220 --> 02:03:49,620
And because they all had this idea that,

3474
02:03:49,760 --> 02:03:50,820
oh, AI is going to take care of

3475
02:03:50,820 --> 02:03:51,880
all the clerical stuff.

3476
02:03:52,040 --> 02:03:53,540
It's not working out.

3477
02:03:54,040 --> 02:03:55,780
So it's a bonanza now.

3478
02:03:55,780 --> 02:03:58,620
If you're a lawyer, a young lawyer who's

3479
02:03:58,620 --> 02:04:00,980
just ready to get into the firm, you

3480
02:04:00,980 --> 02:04:05,800
know, earn your stripes up to $200,000

3481
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:06,820
in bonuses.

3482
02:04:07,380 --> 02:04:09,140
But so what you're saying, the AI has

3483
02:04:09,140 --> 02:04:11,280
been such a flop that they're hiring like

3484
02:04:11,280 --> 02:04:12,100
madly now.

3485
02:04:12,200 --> 02:04:13,160
Yes, yes.

3486
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:18,000
And OpenAI is now hiring a, let me

3487
02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:20,760
see, what is the, what is the term?

3488
02:04:21,020 --> 02:04:23,900
It's a, I'm looking for this now in

3489
02:04:23,900 --> 02:04:29,700
this, it's a certain position, head of preparedness

3490
02:04:29,700 --> 02:04:34,420
to address mounting concerns about AI systems, discovering

3491
02:04:34,420 --> 02:04:38,260
critical vulnerabilities and impacting mental health.

3492
02:04:39,740 --> 02:04:43,880
The position offers is $555,000 plus equity,

3493
02:04:44,020 --> 02:04:47,660
because, yeah, we've kind of noticed that it's

3494
02:04:47,660 --> 02:04:49,720
impacting some people's mental health.

3495
02:04:51,120 --> 02:04:54,260
And so we're hiring, the position is he's

3496
02:04:54,260 --> 02:04:55,140
posting on X.

3497
02:04:55,580 --> 02:04:57,940
It's open, you know, we think there might

3498
02:04:57,940 --> 02:04:58,720
be an issue.

3499
02:04:59,240 --> 02:05:00,920
Witness this story from NPR.

3500
02:05:01,420 --> 02:05:04,960
Two-thirds of adolescents are using chatbots, according

3501
02:05:04,960 --> 02:05:06,800
to a recent survey by Pew Research.

3502
02:05:07,180 --> 02:05:10,260
Parents and online safety advocates are concerned about

3503
02:05:10,260 --> 02:05:13,360
the way AI can impact teen development, mental

3504
02:05:13,360 --> 02:05:15,260
health, and the risk of suicide.

3505
02:05:15,820 --> 02:05:18,500
So how can kids and teens navigate the

3506
02:05:18,500 --> 02:05:19,740
new tech more safely?

3507
02:05:20,200 --> 02:05:22,500
And PR's Ritu Chatterjee collected some advice.

3508
02:05:23,000 --> 02:05:25,420
Kerri Rodriguez has five teenage sons.

3509
02:05:25,620 --> 02:05:27,300
Her sons are all to service at the

3510
02:05:27,300 --> 02:05:28,820
family's church and...

3511
02:05:28,820 --> 02:05:31,820
They use a Bible app that gives them

3512
02:05:31,820 --> 02:05:33,380
a daily reading, like, and it's supposed to

3513
02:05:33,380 --> 02:05:34,080
be inspirational.

3514
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:36,020
But the app also has a chatbot.

3515
02:05:36,120 --> 02:05:38,700
And Rodriguez got worried when her youngest started

3516
02:05:38,700 --> 02:05:40,400
asking it moral questions.

3517
02:05:40,740 --> 02:05:43,380
My little boy, David, he's very concerned about,

3518
02:05:43,640 --> 02:05:44,860
like, is this a sin?

3519
02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:45,560
Is this wrong?

3520
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:46,760
Is God going to be mad at me?

3521
02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:47,360
And all these things.

3522
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:49,580
The kinds of questions she'd hoped he'd bring

3523
02:05:49,580 --> 02:05:51,220
to her, not a chatbot.

3524
02:05:51,540 --> 02:05:53,360
Not everything in life is black and white.

3525
02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:57,440
And it's my job as his mom to

3526
02:05:57,440 --> 02:05:59,680
help him navigate that and walk through it.

3527
02:05:59,940 --> 02:06:01,900
Rodriguez is also the president of the National

3528
02:06:01,900 --> 02:06:03,600
Parents Union, an advocacy group.

3529
02:06:04,080 --> 02:06:06,320
She hears from parents across the country who

3530
02:06:06,320 --> 02:06:07,280
are also concerned.

3531
02:06:07,800 --> 02:06:09,900
Many of them are seeing chatbots claim to

3532
02:06:09,900 --> 02:06:12,240
be their kid's best friend, inviting them to

3533
02:06:12,240 --> 02:06:13,100
share everything.

3534
02:06:13,880 --> 02:06:16,300
A new report from the online safety company

3535
02:06:16,300 --> 02:06:18,420
Aura finds that one of the most common

3536
02:06:18,420 --> 02:06:21,460
uses of chatbots by teens is for companionship

3537
02:06:21,460 --> 02:06:22,360
and role play.

3538
02:06:23,360 --> 02:06:24,980
Have you ever heard this voice on NPR

3539
02:06:24,980 --> 02:06:25,420
before?

3540
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:27,500
Sounds like she should be doing Africa news.

3541
02:06:27,900 --> 02:06:29,900
They're having a lot of weird voices on

3542
02:06:29,900 --> 02:06:31,020
NPR of late.

3543
02:06:31,580 --> 02:06:33,260
So I went looking for the Bible apps

3544
02:06:33,260 --> 02:06:35,220
that have a chatbot, dude.

3545
02:06:36,560 --> 02:06:37,680
I can imagine.

3546
02:06:38,240 --> 02:06:39,520
Text with Jesus?

3547
02:06:41,120 --> 02:06:41,960
Oh, brothers.

3548
02:06:43,280 --> 02:06:46,080
There's something that's being overlooked here.

3549
02:06:46,660 --> 02:06:48,720
I think our lawyers in the audience would

3550
02:06:48,720 --> 02:06:50,080
agree with me on this.

3551
02:06:50,080 --> 02:06:50,880
You can't.

3552
02:06:52,100 --> 02:06:54,340
What they're doing by asking for this new

3553
02:06:54,340 --> 02:06:56,380
position of a half a million dollar job

3554
02:06:56,380 --> 02:06:57,840
is admitting liability.

3555
02:06:58,180 --> 02:07:00,220
Of course, this is like getting it.

3556
02:07:00,360 --> 02:07:02,080
Your lawyers will tell you the following.

3557
02:07:02,760 --> 02:07:04,920
If you get into a car accident with

3558
02:07:04,920 --> 02:07:08,180
someone, don't just out of the blue say

3559
02:07:08,180 --> 02:07:08,880
you're sorry.

3560
02:07:09,140 --> 02:07:10,920
Never, never, never, never.

3561
02:07:12,800 --> 02:07:14,960
Because you just admitted it's your fault.

3562
02:07:15,460 --> 02:07:19,060
You this is I think this guy, whoever

3563
02:07:19,060 --> 02:07:20,040
this has got to be.

3564
02:07:20,220 --> 02:07:22,460
I mean, what the first thing you should

3565
02:07:22,460 --> 02:07:26,460
say is, wow, you really screwed that up.

3566
02:07:27,580 --> 02:07:30,960
Or my neck, my neck, my neck.

3567
02:07:31,320 --> 02:07:32,280
That's the first thing you say.

3568
02:07:32,300 --> 02:07:33,600
And then you go to call the suits

3569
02:07:33,600 --> 02:07:35,480
dot com and make millions.

3570
02:07:35,820 --> 02:07:36,300
Yes.

3571
02:07:36,440 --> 02:07:38,880
So but the point is, is that this

3572
02:07:38,880 --> 02:07:40,960
is a huge blunder.

3573
02:07:42,060 --> 02:07:44,280
They've just opened up the doors for litigation.

3574
02:07:45,400 --> 02:07:47,620
Altman specifically highlighted mental health.

3575
02:07:48,060 --> 02:07:48,320
This is Altman.

3576
02:07:48,420 --> 02:07:49,740
This Altman is an idiot.

3577
02:07:50,020 --> 02:07:50,220
Yes.

3578
02:07:50,320 --> 02:07:52,660
This guy is a rich idiot.

3579
02:07:52,780 --> 02:07:53,820
There's no question about that.

3580
02:07:53,900 --> 02:07:55,120
And people say, well, he's got more money

3581
02:07:55,120 --> 02:07:55,560
than you do.

3582
02:07:55,660 --> 02:07:56,480
Well, that's for sure.

3583
02:07:56,700 --> 02:07:58,500
But it's beside the point.

3584
02:07:58,640 --> 02:07:59,840
This guy, this is the biggest.

3585
02:08:00,040 --> 02:08:01,580
This is like once you just, you know,

3586
02:08:01,580 --> 02:08:02,320
shoot yourself.

3587
02:08:02,520 --> 02:08:04,400
Let me read the whole paragraph here.

3588
02:08:04,460 --> 02:08:07,600
Altman specifically highlighted mental health as a concern

3589
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:08,460
after open.

3590
02:08:08,460 --> 02:08:11,940
A.I. saw a preview of A.I.'s

3591
02:08:11,940 --> 02:08:15,060
potential psychological impact in twenty twenty five.

3592
02:08:15,600 --> 02:08:17,200
So a preview of I guess there's some

3593
02:08:17,200 --> 02:08:19,020
report that has yet to drop.

3594
02:08:19,860 --> 02:08:22,380
This acknowledgment comes amid several high profile case,

3595
02:08:22,760 --> 02:08:25,960
high profile lawsuits, alleging Chad GPT's involvement in

3596
02:08:25,960 --> 02:08:28,580
teen suicides and reports of A.I. chatbots

3597
02:08:28,580 --> 02:08:31,720
feeding users delusion and conspiracy theories.

3598
02:08:32,120 --> 02:08:33,100
And here's Altman.

3599
02:08:33,100 --> 02:08:35,940
The role requires someone who can help the

3600
02:08:35,940 --> 02:08:39,140
world figure out how to enable cyber security

3601
02:08:39,140 --> 02:08:44,040
defenders with cutting edge capabilities while ensuring attackers

3602
02:08:44,040 --> 02:08:45,400
can't use them for harm.

3603
02:08:46,340 --> 02:08:48,520
He called it, which is so it's the

3604
02:08:48,520 --> 02:08:51,840
same job, he's couching it as cyber security

3605
02:08:52,620 --> 02:08:54,680
that I think somehow his lawyers told me,

3606
02:08:54,760 --> 02:08:56,020
well, if you just say it's for cyber

3607
02:08:56,020 --> 02:08:56,600
security.

3608
02:08:56,940 --> 02:08:59,800
And he also said it's a stressful job.

3609
02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:02,760
And whoever gets hired will jump into the

3610
02:09:02,760 --> 02:09:04,580
deep end pretty much immediately.

3611
02:09:05,980 --> 02:09:08,400
Here's the I think these people may have

3612
02:09:08,400 --> 02:09:10,520
already had a preview of the report as

3613
02:09:10,520 --> 02:09:10,920
well.

3614
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:14,840
That includes some disturbing conversations involving violence and

3615
02:09:14,840 --> 02:09:15,360
sex.

3616
02:09:15,680 --> 02:09:19,560
It is role play that is interaction about

3617
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:25,080
harming somebody else, physically hurting them, torturing them.

3618
02:09:25,080 --> 02:09:28,680
Psychologist Scott Collins is chief medical officer at

3619
02:09:28,680 --> 02:09:31,080
Aura and a father of two teenagers.

3620
02:09:31,540 --> 02:09:33,560
It's part of natural development to be curious

3621
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:35,860
about sexuality and things.

3622
02:09:36,160 --> 02:09:38,980
But learning about sexual interactions from a chatbot

3623
02:09:38,980 --> 02:09:41,580
instead of a trusted adult is problematic.

3624
02:09:42,400 --> 02:09:45,080
And chatbots are designed to agree with users,

3625
02:09:45,240 --> 02:09:47,340
says pediatrician Dr. Jason Nagata.

3626
02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:50,660
So even if a child or teenager is

3627
02:09:50,660 --> 02:09:54,100
putting in sexual content or violent content, I

3628
02:09:54,100 --> 02:09:55,900
do think that the default of AI is

3629
02:09:55,900 --> 02:09:58,360
to engage with it and to reinforce it.

3630
02:09:58,620 --> 02:10:01,200
Nagata researches digital media used by teens at

3631
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:03,180
the University of California, San Francisco.

3632
02:10:03,640 --> 02:10:05,460
He says spending a lot of time with

3633
02:10:05,460 --> 02:10:09,020
chatbots also prevents teenagers from learning important social

3634
02:10:09,020 --> 02:10:13,120
skills like empathy, reading body language and negotiating

3635
02:10:13,120 --> 02:10:13,800
differences.

3636
02:10:14,220 --> 02:10:18,080
When you're only or exclusively interacting with computers

3637
02:10:18,080 --> 02:10:20,100
who are agreeing with you, then you don't

3638
02:10:20,100 --> 02:10:21,640
get to develop those skills.

3639
02:10:21,640 --> 02:10:24,960
And studies show that chatbots can pose risks

3640
02:10:24,960 --> 02:10:26,300
to vulnerable individuals.

3641
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:29,180
At least a couple of adolescents have died

3642
02:10:29,180 --> 02:10:32,280
by suicide after prolonged interactions with chatbots.

3643
02:10:32,520 --> 02:10:33,640
I'm going to bet they're going to hide

3644
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:34,500
behind a EULA.

3645
02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:37,300
They're going to say, well, look, there's a

3646
02:10:37,300 --> 02:10:37,720
EULA.

3647
02:10:38,020 --> 02:10:38,820
You get the app.

3648
02:10:38,900 --> 02:10:40,500
It says, talk to your parents.

3649
02:10:40,580 --> 02:10:41,780
You didn't talk to your parents.

3650
02:10:41,840 --> 02:10:42,840
It's your parents fault.

3651
02:10:43,260 --> 02:10:45,580
In fact, I would say we'll see parents

3652
02:10:45,580 --> 02:10:47,940
go to jail for their children committing suicide

3653
02:10:47,940 --> 02:10:49,440
thanks to a chatbot.

3654
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:51,920
Isn't that the Silicon Valley model?

3655
02:10:52,420 --> 02:10:53,220
Well, that is the model.

3656
02:10:53,300 --> 02:10:55,280
But the EULAs don't apply in certain situations

3657
02:10:55,280 --> 02:10:56,020
that are illegal.

3658
02:10:57,460 --> 02:10:58,800
Well, what's illegal about it?

3659
02:10:59,460 --> 02:11:02,320
Well, it's like if somebody's talked into committing

3660
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:07,320
suicide, I mean, it's like signing agreements with,

3661
02:11:07,500 --> 02:11:11,300
you know, you meet somebody and it just

3662
02:11:11,300 --> 02:11:16,440
is, I can't express the legality aspect of

3663
02:11:16,440 --> 02:11:17,880
it, but I'm sure one of our lawyers

3664
02:11:17,880 --> 02:11:20,660
out there can say why EULA won't protect

3665
02:11:20,660 --> 02:11:20,980
them.

3666
02:11:23,340 --> 02:11:25,000
Well, we'll have to wait for Rob.

3667
02:11:25,120 --> 02:11:27,620
And I wish they would just go away

3668
02:11:27,620 --> 02:11:28,120
anyway.

3669
02:11:28,360 --> 02:11:30,280
It's like the EULA to me is the

3670
02:11:30,280 --> 02:11:34,240
same as the liability constraints on vaccines.

3671
02:11:34,500 --> 02:11:36,680
If the EULA went away, then we wouldn't

3672
02:11:36,680 --> 02:11:38,400
be able to say put a bikini on

3673
02:11:38,400 --> 02:11:38,640
her.

3674
02:11:38,860 --> 02:11:40,840
You're going to ruin the whole gig, man.

3675
02:11:40,980 --> 02:11:42,600
I don't think that would change the bikini

3676
02:11:42,600 --> 02:11:42,980
thing.

3677
02:11:43,680 --> 02:11:44,560
Bikini things.

3678
02:11:45,420 --> 02:11:46,580
I'm going to have to send you a

3679
02:11:46,580 --> 02:11:48,780
few so your algo can get into it.

3680
02:11:49,180 --> 02:11:50,060
It's crazy.

3681
02:11:50,200 --> 02:11:51,600
Well, you still haven't gotten into the fat

3682
02:11:51,600 --> 02:11:52,560
JD Vance video.

3683
02:11:52,560 --> 02:11:54,360
I did because you sent it to me.

3684
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:55,080
Now I'm seeing fat JD.

3685
02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:56,560
I sent a couple on, but they're just

3686
02:11:56,560 --> 02:11:57,040
not enough.

3687
02:11:57,240 --> 02:11:59,020
You have to get on the, you know,

3688
02:11:59,140 --> 02:12:00,580
where you're getting a lot of them.

3689
02:12:00,760 --> 02:12:02,420
So here's something I can get behind.

3690
02:12:03,700 --> 02:12:07,400
AI haters, that would be me, are building

3691
02:12:07,400 --> 02:12:10,660
tar pits to trap and trick AI scrapers.

3692
02:12:13,140 --> 02:12:16,580
So this, uh, this, what's an AI scraper?

3693
02:12:16,720 --> 02:12:18,740
Well, the AI is getting all of its

3694
02:12:18,740 --> 02:12:20,400
information by scraping the web.

3695
02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:23,260
Remember, there's an, there's an unwritten contract, John.

3696
02:12:23,400 --> 02:12:25,120
That's a little late in the game to

3697
02:12:25,120 --> 02:12:27,180
do this, to try to stop it.

3698
02:12:27,260 --> 02:12:29,560
Oh, but I mean, we look at podcast

3699
02:12:29,560 --> 02:12:30,100
index.

3700
02:12:30,200 --> 02:12:30,680
Oh man.

3701
02:12:30,700 --> 02:12:33,280
That thing's getting hit millions of times an

3702
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:34,960
hour by AI bots.

3703
02:12:35,360 --> 02:12:38,560
All trying to get information, just scrape stuff.

3704
02:12:38,560 --> 02:12:41,040
Oh, it's, it's, if you're running a website,

3705
02:12:41,700 --> 02:12:43,980
if people run their own website, it can

3706
02:12:43,980 --> 02:12:47,580
cost you easily 40, $50 a month more

3707
02:12:47,580 --> 02:12:49,820
because, just because of all the stuff that

3708
02:12:49,820 --> 02:12:51,560
the AI scrape bots are doing.

3709
02:12:52,340 --> 02:12:53,880
So this, yes.

3710
02:12:53,980 --> 02:12:55,140
Oh, oh, it's crazy.

3711
02:12:55,200 --> 02:12:58,300
And they ignore robots.txt. Of course.

3712
02:12:58,800 --> 02:13:00,200
Why would you pay attention to that?

3713
02:13:00,260 --> 02:13:01,200
No, they ignore that.

3714
02:13:01,440 --> 02:13:02,160
Gentleman's agreement.

3715
02:13:02,480 --> 02:13:04,540
No, there's no gentleman's agreement.

3716
02:13:04,540 --> 02:13:07,380
So this thing is called Nepenthes.

3717
02:13:07,780 --> 02:13:10,060
N-E-P-E-N-T-E-S.

3718
02:13:10,920 --> 02:13:12,540
Named after the Nepenthe.

3719
02:13:12,740 --> 02:13:13,160
Nepenthe.

3720
02:13:13,300 --> 02:13:13,400
Yeah.

3721
02:13:13,560 --> 02:13:14,520
It's a carnivorous plant.

3722
02:13:14,540 --> 02:13:16,260
There used to be a winery called Nepenthes.

3723
02:13:16,720 --> 02:13:19,940
So the way it works is, it traps

3724
02:13:19,940 --> 02:13:22,180
the AI crawlers and sends it on like

3725
02:13:22,180 --> 02:13:24,780
an infinite maze of static files where there's

3726
02:13:24,780 --> 02:13:25,360
no exit.

3727
02:13:25,820 --> 02:13:28,380
So they just get stuck going from one

3728
02:13:28,380 --> 02:13:29,460
file to the other file.

3729
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:30,480
And it's all nonsense.

3730
02:13:30,740 --> 02:13:32,040
It's just all babble.

3731
02:13:32,040 --> 02:13:34,360
All kind of just crap that's in there.

3732
02:13:34,400 --> 02:13:36,360
So they're hoping to poison the AI.

3733
02:13:37,600 --> 02:13:38,080
Ooh.

3734
02:13:38,200 --> 02:13:39,260
Yeah, I like it.

3735
02:13:39,380 --> 02:13:39,880
That's cute.

3736
02:13:40,140 --> 02:13:41,140
Yeah, you would like it.

3737
02:13:41,180 --> 02:13:42,420
I love this kind of stuff.

3738
02:13:42,500 --> 02:13:43,460
Yeah, of course.

3739
02:13:44,080 --> 02:13:45,320
These guys are ruining everything.

3740
02:13:45,500 --> 02:13:47,620
They're ruining the whole business model of the

3741
02:13:47,620 --> 02:13:48,040
internet.

3742
02:13:49,380 --> 02:13:52,140
I don't understand how Google is going to

3743
02:13:52,140 --> 02:13:52,520
do it.

3744
02:13:52,900 --> 02:13:55,040
I've been using Gemini for research.

3745
02:13:55,460 --> 02:13:57,180
And you ask it a question, it gives

3746
02:13:57,180 --> 02:13:57,840
you the answer.

3747
02:13:57,840 --> 02:14:00,120
It doesn't credit me with...

3748
02:14:00,120 --> 02:14:02,620
It doesn't credit who came up with...

3749
02:14:02,620 --> 02:14:05,140
Right, this came up with your use of

3750
02:14:05,140 --> 02:14:06,360
the term...

3751
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:07,180
Limbic capitalism.

3752
02:14:07,600 --> 02:14:09,520
Limbic capitalism was stolen.

3753
02:14:10,260 --> 02:14:12,360
Well, the bot gave it to me.

3754
02:14:12,580 --> 02:14:14,320
I said the bot stole it.

3755
02:14:14,700 --> 02:14:16,600
And then you stole it from the bot.

3756
02:14:16,860 --> 02:14:19,720
And it's now two steps removed from its

3757
02:14:19,720 --> 02:14:20,360
origin.

3758
02:14:20,700 --> 02:14:23,320
And if it wasn't for our producers griping

3759
02:14:23,320 --> 02:14:25,220
and moaning and groaning and calling you out,

3760
02:14:26,060 --> 02:14:26,880
we would never know.

3761
02:14:26,880 --> 02:14:28,940
They weren't calling me out because I said

3762
02:14:28,940 --> 02:14:30,540
I got it from Gemini.

3763
02:14:30,720 --> 02:14:32,040
I didn't say I came up with it

3764
02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:32,360
myself.

3765
02:14:33,340 --> 02:14:35,060
Right, but they were calling you out because

3766
02:14:35,060 --> 02:14:35,660
they hate you.

3767
02:14:36,140 --> 02:14:36,620
David...

3768
02:14:37,160 --> 02:14:39,040
Well, they can get in line behind you.

3769
02:14:39,500 --> 02:14:42,380
David Courtright, who wrote The Age of Addiction.

3770
02:14:43,420 --> 02:14:46,520
So, but my point is the way the

3771
02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:47,240
web...

3772
02:14:47,240 --> 02:14:50,400
The web, the World Wide Web, W3, dub,

3773
02:14:50,460 --> 02:14:50,880
dub, dub.

3774
02:14:50,880 --> 02:14:54,960
The way that worked is you write on

3775
02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:57,820
your WordPress or on your Substack or wherever.

3776
02:14:58,380 --> 02:14:59,000
Your blog.

3777
02:15:00,200 --> 02:15:01,600
On your, you know, maybe you have a

3778
02:15:01,600 --> 02:15:02,360
slick site.

3779
02:15:03,400 --> 02:15:07,360
And you do SEO and SEO gets you

3780
02:15:07,360 --> 02:15:08,620
into higher rankings.

3781
02:15:08,740 --> 02:15:10,180
And maybe you buy some traffic.

3782
02:15:10,520 --> 02:15:12,520
You know, there's a whole economy around this.

3783
02:15:12,900 --> 02:15:16,020
And then you've got ads and you buy

3784
02:15:16,020 --> 02:15:17,140
those ads from Google.

3785
02:15:17,180 --> 02:15:18,600
So, Google sends you traffic.

3786
02:15:18,740 --> 02:15:19,480
You get traffic.

3787
02:15:19,480 --> 02:15:22,080
You get, you know, two pennies for each

3788
02:15:22,080 --> 02:15:23,560
time somebody sees an ad.

3789
02:15:23,680 --> 02:15:25,020
Oh, that's even, that's gone now.

3790
02:15:25,140 --> 02:15:26,520
Maybe you get five cents.

3791
02:15:26,640 --> 02:15:27,820
Someone clicks on the ad.

3792
02:15:28,240 --> 02:15:29,420
That's now gone.

3793
02:15:30,440 --> 02:15:33,780
There's no, you know, of course, people always

3794
02:15:33,780 --> 02:15:34,880
continue to publish.

3795
02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:40,360
But the whole economy of that system seems

3796
02:15:40,360 --> 02:15:41,140
broken to me.

3797
02:15:41,140 --> 02:15:42,180
Or do you view it differently?

3798
02:15:43,020 --> 02:15:44,420
I think it's broken too.

3799
02:15:44,580 --> 02:15:46,320
I view it, but I still view it

3800
02:15:46,320 --> 02:15:46,780
differently.

3801
02:15:47,080 --> 02:15:47,380
Okay.

3802
02:15:47,380 --> 02:15:50,000
But I think it's totally broken.

3803
02:15:50,140 --> 02:15:51,820
And I don't think anyone's come to the

3804
02:15:51,820 --> 02:15:54,000
realization how broken it is yet.

3805
02:15:55,560 --> 02:15:58,560
I mean, the collapse is before us.

3806
02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:00,300
It's in advance.

3807
02:16:00,440 --> 02:16:02,260
I mean, Google's already managed to get out

3808
02:16:02,260 --> 02:16:02,780
of the way.

3809
02:16:02,980 --> 02:16:05,540
I mean, they've moved to data selling and

3810
02:16:05,540 --> 02:16:06,760
they've moved to Waymo.

3811
02:16:07,000 --> 02:16:08,100
They get automated cars.

3812
02:16:08,520 --> 02:16:10,720
I mean, Google has gotten, as you can

3813
02:16:10,720 --> 02:16:12,080
tell by the price of their stock, which

3814
02:16:12,080 --> 02:16:16,920
has increased considerably, is that they have kind

3815
02:16:16,920 --> 02:16:18,040
of gotten out of the way of it

3816
02:16:18,040 --> 02:16:19,760
because they know what's going to happen.

3817
02:16:19,920 --> 02:16:21,100
And it's going to pull the rug right

3818
02:16:21,100 --> 02:16:21,700
out from under.

3819
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:22,880
Search is dead.

3820
02:16:23,540 --> 02:16:24,740
Well, that's the money.

3821
02:16:26,380 --> 02:16:26,860
Advertising.

3822
02:16:27,100 --> 02:16:28,100
I just don't get it.

3823
02:16:28,160 --> 02:16:29,360
I think they're going to fill it up

3824
02:16:29,360 --> 02:16:32,100
with people paying 20 bucks a month for

3825
02:16:32,100 --> 02:16:33,420
something that costs them 40.

3826
02:16:35,870 --> 02:16:37,049
It's not tenable.

3827
02:16:37,209 --> 02:16:38,049
I agree with that.

3828
02:16:38,670 --> 02:16:41,930
But I'm not in, I have mixed feelings

3829
02:16:41,930 --> 02:16:44,030
about it's a value.

3830
02:16:44,809 --> 02:16:46,309
You, you don't.

3831
02:16:46,350 --> 02:16:49,690
No, no, I see value in search and

3832
02:16:49,690 --> 02:16:49,990
research.

3833
02:16:50,350 --> 02:16:51,049
I can tell you.

3834
02:16:51,250 --> 02:16:51,410
Yeah, you.

3835
02:16:51,990 --> 02:16:52,850
Search and research.

3836
02:16:52,969 --> 02:16:54,709
I think that is very valuable for that

3837
02:16:54,709 --> 02:16:55,030
because.

3838
02:16:55,450 --> 02:16:57,510
Gemini doesn't give you footnotes when I use

3839
02:16:57,510 --> 02:16:58,410
perplexity.

3840
02:16:58,490 --> 02:17:00,930
But forget the footnotes.

3841
02:17:01,030 --> 02:17:01,969
Forget the footnotes.

3842
02:17:02,190 --> 02:17:03,590
It's giving you information.

3843
02:17:04,410 --> 02:17:07,129
Sometimes Gemini says, click here for sources.

3844
02:17:07,570 --> 02:17:08,990
You can request the sources.

3845
02:17:09,230 --> 02:17:10,090
Who does that?

3846
02:17:10,510 --> 02:17:11,450
You and I, maybe.

3847
02:17:11,950 --> 02:17:13,129
But other people like, just give me the

3848
02:17:13,129 --> 02:17:13,469
answer.

3849
02:17:14,030 --> 02:17:17,870
They're not interested in clicking on someone's website

3850
02:17:17,870 --> 02:17:19,090
when you already have the answer.

3851
02:17:20,510 --> 02:17:21,190
So, you know.

3852
02:17:21,350 --> 02:17:22,770
Well, I, you know, I have to back

3853
02:17:22,770 --> 02:17:25,530
you up because of the, of my experience.

3854
02:17:25,570 --> 02:17:27,410
Because I look at numbers that we do

3855
02:17:27,410 --> 02:17:30,290
with a newsletter and I can put a

3856
02:17:30,290 --> 02:17:31,969
link to something.

3857
02:17:32,570 --> 02:17:33,590
Sell the link.

3858
02:17:33,730 --> 02:17:35,590
You got to go look at this, blah,

3859
02:17:35,730 --> 02:17:36,469
blah, blah, blah, blah.

3860
02:17:36,510 --> 02:17:37,590
You do this and that.

3861
02:17:38,049 --> 02:17:39,809
You check it out and here's the link.

3862
02:17:39,809 --> 02:17:42,010
And then, so I look at the results

3863
02:17:42,010 --> 02:17:44,230
after a couple of weeks of the people

3864
02:17:44,230 --> 02:17:45,850
that clicked on the link that I was.

3865
02:17:46,010 --> 02:17:46,410
Nobody.

3866
02:17:46,930 --> 02:17:47,290
Insisting.

3867
02:17:47,830 --> 02:17:48,809
Well, not nobody.

3868
02:17:48,930 --> 02:17:51,549
But the number is, after selling it.

3869
02:17:51,770 --> 02:17:53,690
I mean, it's not just a rando link

3870
02:17:53,690 --> 02:17:55,049
just sitting there where you'd have to aggressively.

3871
02:17:55,209 --> 02:17:57,530
You've already, you've already told them what's behind

3872
02:17:57,530 --> 02:17:58,389
the link, basically.

3873
02:18:00,570 --> 02:18:01,370
Not necessarily.

3874
02:18:01,629 --> 02:18:03,570
But it's like, even if I tell them

3875
02:18:03,570 --> 02:18:04,850
or I don't tell them, it doesn't make

3876
02:18:04,850 --> 02:18:05,330
any difference.

3877
02:18:05,450 --> 02:18:06,870
The number of people that click on the

3878
02:18:06,870 --> 02:18:08,549
links is around 10% max.

3879
02:18:09,830 --> 02:18:11,049
Yeah, that's pretty low.

3880
02:18:12,389 --> 02:18:14,709
Well, it's the same thing when people say,

3881
02:18:15,070 --> 02:18:16,110
well, it's like, it's like everything.

3882
02:18:16,209 --> 02:18:19,230
It's like Instagram, you know, or people sending

3883
02:18:19,230 --> 02:18:20,549
me, oh, look at this.

3884
02:18:20,570 --> 02:18:21,889
And they send me a screenshot.

3885
02:18:22,129 --> 02:18:23,129
Well, what good is that?

3886
02:18:23,790 --> 02:18:25,950
It's a screenshot of some article you got

3887
02:18:25,950 --> 02:18:27,389
somewhere and you didn't give me the link

3888
02:18:27,389 --> 02:18:28,490
to go read the article.

3889
02:18:28,850 --> 02:18:30,910
I've complained about this in the past before

3890
02:18:30,910 --> 02:18:31,850
AI came up.

3891
02:18:32,670 --> 02:18:34,230
And that's what Instagram is.

3892
02:18:34,270 --> 02:18:35,309
Oh, look at this story.

3893
02:18:35,830 --> 02:18:37,610
Then it's a screenshot of a story with

3894
02:18:37,610 --> 02:18:38,150
no link.

3895
02:18:38,530 --> 02:18:40,530
I think, can you even put links in

3896
02:18:40,530 --> 02:18:40,950
Instagram?

3897
02:18:41,370 --> 02:18:42,070
Link in bio.

3898
02:18:42,650 --> 02:18:44,209
I mean, you can't, you can't even put

3899
02:18:44,209 --> 02:18:45,090
a link to a story.

3900
02:18:45,770 --> 02:18:46,910
You can't even put a link.

3901
02:18:47,010 --> 02:18:47,330
You can't.

3902
02:18:47,370 --> 02:18:48,309
I don't think you can even put it.

3903
02:18:48,709 --> 02:18:50,410
Well, I guess you can't.

3904
02:18:50,510 --> 02:18:51,389
Not an Instagram.

3905
02:18:51,590 --> 02:18:52,670
You can't put a link in.

3906
02:18:53,190 --> 02:18:54,490
This is all photos.

3907
02:18:54,730 --> 02:18:56,090
So they're ruining the web, man.

3908
02:19:00,549 --> 02:19:01,670
As opposed to what?

3909
02:19:02,670 --> 02:19:04,250
Well, keeping the vibe alive.

3910
02:19:05,670 --> 02:19:07,809
Given if it's an opportunity to contribute to

3911
02:19:07,809 --> 02:19:09,590
the economy of the internet.

3912
02:19:12,950 --> 02:19:16,690
Well, again, I see things more positively about

3913
02:19:16,690 --> 02:19:17,969
this AI than you do.

3914
02:19:18,450 --> 02:19:20,549
From what perspective?

3915
02:19:21,809 --> 02:19:24,230
That Adam Carolla created podcasting?

3916
02:19:24,309 --> 02:19:25,590
That's positive.

3917
02:19:26,469 --> 02:19:27,230
Tom Green?

3918
02:19:28,070 --> 02:19:29,070
Tom Green.

3919
02:19:30,290 --> 02:19:31,690
Not Adam Carolla.

3920
02:19:31,830 --> 02:19:32,309
Tom Green.

3921
02:19:32,570 --> 02:19:34,090
Seriously, from what perspective do you see it

3922
02:19:34,090 --> 02:19:34,450
positive?

3923
02:19:36,950 --> 02:19:40,549
Well, you yourself use it for research.

3924
02:19:40,549 --> 02:19:44,910
It's very, it shortens the time to develop

3925
02:19:44,910 --> 02:19:46,350
material.

3926
02:19:47,610 --> 02:19:48,130
Agreed.

3927
02:19:48,330 --> 02:19:48,650
Agreed.

3928
02:19:48,750 --> 02:19:50,490
But the material is a positive thing.

3929
02:19:50,630 --> 02:19:52,010
I mean, it's a time because time is

3930
02:19:52,010 --> 02:19:52,390
money.

3931
02:19:52,810 --> 02:19:53,150
Right.

3932
02:19:53,250 --> 02:19:56,130
But people will stop creating stuff if they

3933
02:19:56,130 --> 02:19:57,710
can't make money off of it.

3934
02:19:58,310 --> 02:19:59,790
You think people just can tell, well, I'm

3935
02:19:59,790 --> 02:20:00,790
not making money anymore.

3936
02:20:00,830 --> 02:20:01,810
I'll just keep doing it.

3937
02:20:04,900 --> 02:20:05,420
Yeah.

3938
02:20:06,240 --> 02:20:07,380
And that's a tough question.

3939
02:20:09,180 --> 02:20:11,580
Well, we have more art than we used

3940
02:20:11,580 --> 02:20:12,220
to have.

3941
02:20:12,220 --> 02:20:13,740
And it's all AI.

3942
02:20:14,140 --> 02:20:14,240
Yeah.

3943
02:20:14,320 --> 02:20:15,880
Oh, the quality of the art at end

3944
02:20:15,880 --> 02:20:17,900
of show is just so amazing.

3945
02:20:21,240 --> 02:20:24,640
Well, we had, there has been, we have

3946
02:20:24,640 --> 02:20:27,800
less moments of no good art than we

3947
02:20:27,800 --> 02:20:28,480
used to.

3948
02:20:29,100 --> 02:20:32,840
No, less moments of, of acceptable art.

3949
02:20:34,540 --> 02:20:35,140
Right.

3950
02:20:35,400 --> 02:20:36,180
It's acceptable.

3951
02:20:36,380 --> 02:20:37,300
We accept it.

3952
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:40,820
But it's, it's all kind of meh.

3953
02:20:41,260 --> 02:20:43,580
You know, it's like the same, same thing

3954
02:20:43,580 --> 02:20:44,220
about songs.

3955
02:20:44,220 --> 02:20:45,600
It's fun.

3956
02:20:45,720 --> 02:20:46,220
It's okay.

3957
02:20:46,840 --> 02:20:48,540
The songs, I'm not, you know, I'm getting

3958
02:20:48,540 --> 02:20:50,300
less, I have to say this.

3959
02:20:50,540 --> 02:20:53,860
I'm getting a little fatigued, which is a

3960
02:20:53,860 --> 02:20:56,180
code word, I guess, but a little fatigued

3961
02:20:56,180 --> 02:20:57,180
with the songs.

3962
02:20:58,120 --> 02:21:00,480
There's a kind of a sameness to them.

3963
02:21:00,480 --> 02:21:02,280
I'm beginning to dislike.

3964
02:21:02,660 --> 02:21:02,900
Yeah.

3965
02:21:03,020 --> 02:21:05,740
I mean, a good classic Broadway hit is

3966
02:21:05,740 --> 02:21:09,000
in there, but it's one song.

3967
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:12,620
There's nothing outside of that same style and

3968
02:21:12,620 --> 02:21:13,940
almost the same singer.

3969
02:21:15,040 --> 02:21:17,620
And, and, uh, it's too structured.

3970
02:21:19,140 --> 02:21:21,860
Uh, it's something tedious about it.

3971
02:21:21,880 --> 02:21:23,060
And I can't put my finger on why,

3972
02:21:23,120 --> 02:21:25,200
cause it's, it's, it's good quality.

3973
02:21:25,580 --> 02:21:27,120
It's because it's, there's no soul.

3974
02:21:27,160 --> 02:21:28,200
It's soulless.

3975
02:21:30,060 --> 02:21:33,560
There is this, there, there is, I can't,

3976
02:21:33,820 --> 02:21:36,460
there is, well, it's naturally soulless because it's

3977
02:21:36,460 --> 02:21:37,500
done by a machine.

3978
02:21:37,500 --> 02:21:37,800
Right.

3979
02:21:37,800 --> 02:21:40,600
Uh, so it, so that might be reflected,

3980
02:21:40,700 --> 02:21:42,140
but that could also be in your own

3981
02:21:42,140 --> 02:21:45,860
mind that it's soulless because, because, you know,

3982
02:21:45,860 --> 02:21:47,700
it's being done by a computer does, it

3983
02:21:47,700 --> 02:21:48,720
has to be soulless.

3984
02:21:48,800 --> 02:21:50,300
And so you're saying it's soulless when it

3985
02:21:50,300 --> 02:21:51,160
could be soulful.

3986
02:21:51,880 --> 02:21:52,240
Yeah.

3987
02:21:52,280 --> 02:21:56,180
But I mean, yeah, it just, it just

3988
02:21:56,180 --> 02:21:57,420
doesn't, I just don't get as much.

3989
02:21:57,500 --> 02:21:59,400
It's, it's joyless.

3990
02:21:59,480 --> 02:22:00,000
How about that?

3991
02:22:00,320 --> 02:22:00,680
Joyless.

3992
02:22:01,320 --> 02:22:02,220
There's no joy.

3993
02:22:02,640 --> 02:22:04,260
It's like, yeah, it's a good piece of

3994
02:22:04,260 --> 02:22:04,400
art.

3995
02:22:04,500 --> 02:22:05,680
Oh, it's a good song, but it has

3996
02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:06,220
no joy.

3997
02:22:06,220 --> 02:22:07,980
I'm not jumping up and down and want

3998
02:22:07,980 --> 02:22:09,040
to go play it in my car.

3999
02:22:10,560 --> 02:22:12,440
Ah, now you, now you're talking.

4000
02:22:12,660 --> 02:22:12,840
Yeah.

4001
02:22:12,940 --> 02:22:15,260
Whereas there's end of show mixes that I

4002
02:22:15,260 --> 02:22:16,860
could play over and over again.

4003
02:22:17,240 --> 02:22:19,920
Like, you know, just great stuff that Chris

4004
02:22:19,920 --> 02:22:22,280
Wilson did or secret agent Paul.

4005
02:22:22,620 --> 02:22:23,900
I mean, fantastic.

4006
02:22:24,200 --> 02:22:25,120
Just beautiful.

4007
02:22:25,460 --> 02:22:26,260
And those guys burn out.

4008
02:22:26,420 --> 02:22:27,240
Computers don't.

4009
02:22:27,600 --> 02:22:28,500
You know why?

4010
02:22:28,660 --> 02:22:30,160
Cause they're not making any money on it.

4011
02:22:30,180 --> 02:22:31,660
That's why we need to cut them in

4012
02:22:31,660 --> 02:22:32,240
on the deal.

4013
02:22:34,100 --> 02:22:35,060
Yeah, exactly.

4014
02:22:35,060 --> 02:22:37,100
Now you're thinking like a Silicon Valley guy

4015
02:22:37,100 --> 02:22:39,140
that we are Silicon Valley guys.

4016
02:22:39,240 --> 02:22:40,440
We've been at all along.

4017
02:22:40,940 --> 02:22:42,220
But since you bring up art now is

4018
02:22:42,220 --> 02:22:43,580
a perfect time to thank you for your

4019
02:22:43,580 --> 02:22:45,020
courage and say in the morning to you,

4020
02:22:45,100 --> 02:22:47,160
the man who put the C in CBS's.

4021
02:22:47,380 --> 02:22:49,340
I am you say hello to my friend

4022
02:22:49,340 --> 02:22:49,920
on the other end.

4023
02:22:49,980 --> 02:23:00,000
The one, the only Mr. Subs

4024
02:23:00,000 --> 02:23:01,500
in the water in the names of nights

4025
02:23:01,500 --> 02:23:02,380
out there in the morning.

4026
02:23:05,060 --> 02:23:05,500
There we go.

4027
02:23:08,980 --> 02:23:12,120
Well, there's people hung over 1,410.

4028
02:23:12,980 --> 02:23:15,620
That's about 400 lower than we should be

4029
02:23:15,620 --> 02:23:15,980
having.

4030
02:23:16,600 --> 02:23:17,540
I don't know, man.

4031
02:23:17,600 --> 02:23:18,600
We're going down the tubes.

4032
02:23:18,800 --> 02:23:19,740
No, it's a day off.

4033
02:23:19,980 --> 02:23:22,280
This is a, we were working on a,

4034
02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:23,480
people should note this.

4035
02:23:23,560 --> 02:23:24,680
We're working on a holiday.

4036
02:23:25,680 --> 02:23:26,800
This is a holiday.

4037
02:23:27,120 --> 02:23:28,420
Nobody else is working today.

4038
02:23:28,580 --> 02:23:28,740
Yeah.

4039
02:23:28,820 --> 02:23:29,900
I went to bed early.

4040
02:23:30,100 --> 02:23:31,380
I didn't even see the fact that you

4041
02:23:31,380 --> 02:23:31,740
got that.

4042
02:23:31,740 --> 02:23:34,520
The fact that Tony Dupal or Google or

4043
02:23:34,520 --> 02:23:36,300
whatever his name is, I can never get

4044
02:23:36,300 --> 02:23:37,020
it quite straight.

4045
02:23:37,320 --> 02:23:37,720
Couple.

4046
02:23:37,820 --> 02:23:38,620
I forget his name.

4047
02:23:38,840 --> 02:23:41,780
Couple couple that fact that that guy was

4048
02:23:41,780 --> 02:23:44,080
did a video that I guess maybe he

4049
02:23:44,080 --> 02:23:45,460
did it a month ago, but whatever the

4050
02:23:45,460 --> 02:23:47,480
case is, he likes, he's working to cope

4051
02:23:47,480 --> 02:23:50,160
on a holiday, which is unusual for anybody

4052
02:23:50,160 --> 02:23:51,660
in the media to be working on a

4053
02:23:51,660 --> 02:23:51,880
holiday.

4054
02:23:51,980 --> 02:23:52,740
They're all off.

4055
02:23:52,820 --> 02:23:54,560
It's all the B and C teams, the

4056
02:23:54,560 --> 02:23:56,160
people that want to hopefully they can move

4057
02:23:56,160 --> 02:23:57,540
up so they can take the day off

4058
02:23:57,540 --> 02:23:57,960
someday.

4059
02:23:58,820 --> 02:23:59,620
Yeah, exactly.

4060
02:23:59,780 --> 02:24:00,180
Exactly.

4061
02:24:00,180 --> 02:24:00,300
Right.

4062
02:24:00,680 --> 02:24:01,080
Exactly.

4063
02:24:01,120 --> 02:24:01,420
Right.

4064
02:24:01,740 --> 02:24:04,280
And why, why did, what's wrong with working

4065
02:24:04,280 --> 02:24:04,920
on a holiday?

4066
02:24:04,980 --> 02:24:06,920
I've always enjoyed working on holidays.

4067
02:24:07,340 --> 02:24:09,520
Well, it's because you don't celebrate holidays on

4068
02:24:09,520 --> 02:24:10,020
the holidays.

4069
02:24:10,120 --> 02:24:11,840
You celebrate it on a different day.

4070
02:24:11,940 --> 02:24:12,700
That's your trick.

4071
02:24:12,800 --> 02:24:15,600
You see, you won't, you won't work on

4072
02:24:15,600 --> 02:24:18,680
the days when you actually celebrate Christmas or

4073
02:24:18,680 --> 02:24:21,020
Thanksgiving or Easter, which has been moved.

4074
02:24:22,020 --> 02:24:23,460
I hear Mimi has the flu.

4075
02:24:23,540 --> 02:24:24,180
She sees that.

4076
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:24,460
Yeah.

4077
02:24:24,460 --> 02:24:25,840
She ended up with the same flu.

4078
02:24:25,880 --> 02:24:29,140
I think you have or had, although I

4079
02:24:29,140 --> 02:24:30,560
told her that you had it and she

4080
02:24:30,560 --> 02:24:31,160
goes, what?

4081
02:24:31,160 --> 02:24:32,200
I said, yeah.

4082
02:24:32,340 --> 02:24:34,160
I said, Adam, and I, I've always said

4083
02:24:34,160 --> 02:24:34,500
this.

4084
02:24:34,960 --> 02:24:39,260
Adam is, has the ability, no matter how

4085
02:24:39,260 --> 02:24:42,280
sick he is to always sound like his

4086
02:24:42,280 --> 02:24:45,380
same old, same old, maybe a little more

4087
02:24:45,380 --> 02:24:49,360
grumpy, but it takes some revelation to get

4088
02:24:49,360 --> 02:24:49,740
to that.

4089
02:24:50,100 --> 02:24:50,360
Grumpy.

4090
02:24:50,600 --> 02:24:52,300
I haven't heard that term in a long

4091
02:24:52,300 --> 02:24:52,720
time.

4092
02:24:53,020 --> 02:24:56,840
But, but he sounds exactly, he could be

4093
02:24:56,840 --> 02:24:59,600
on his deathbed and he'd sound exactly like

4094
02:24:59,600 --> 02:25:00,060
this.

4095
02:25:00,060 --> 02:25:00,540
Yeah.

4096
02:25:00,960 --> 02:25:03,300
Unfortunately, now that I'm a little bit better,

4097
02:25:03,460 --> 02:25:05,080
I've still been sneezing a lot during the

4098
02:25:05,080 --> 02:25:05,920
show on mute.

4099
02:25:06,740 --> 02:25:07,180
Good.

4100
02:25:07,320 --> 02:25:09,480
I can't do the Alex Jones voice as

4101
02:25:09,480 --> 02:25:10,000
it's gone.

4102
02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:12,080
You did it earlier before the show.

4103
02:25:12,160 --> 02:25:12,700
I heard you.

4104
02:25:12,740 --> 02:25:13,980
It didn't sound like, it didn't.

4105
02:25:14,100 --> 02:25:16,080
It sounded pretty damn good.

4106
02:25:16,160 --> 02:25:17,520
I was not happy with it.

4107
02:25:17,660 --> 02:25:18,220
I was not happy.

4108
02:25:18,460 --> 02:25:20,200
You know, maybe I should play these bonus

4109
02:25:20,200 --> 02:25:23,980
clips here because ABC got a deal.

4110
02:25:24,700 --> 02:25:28,600
ABC got an awesome deal with the big

4111
02:25:28,600 --> 02:25:29,100
pharma.

4112
02:25:30,180 --> 02:25:32,640
I have nothing but ABC clips about the

4113
02:25:32,640 --> 02:25:32,860
flu.

4114
02:25:33,460 --> 02:25:35,620
It's like they're just all over it.

4115
02:25:35,660 --> 02:25:36,120
Listen to this.

4116
02:25:36,240 --> 02:25:38,740
Tonight, a sharp rise in flu cases, raising

4117
02:25:38,740 --> 02:25:40,640
alarm among medical experts.

4118
02:25:40,940 --> 02:25:43,360
In just one week, according to CDC data,

4119
02:25:43,740 --> 02:25:46,420
flu-related illnesses jumping more than 60%

4120
02:25:46,420 --> 02:25:49,860
from 4.6 million to 7.5 million.

4121
02:25:49,860 --> 02:25:53,360
Hospitalizations also spiking more than 60% from

4122
02:25:53,360 --> 02:25:55,860
49,000 to 81,000.

4123
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:58,180
And more than 1,200 deaths have been

4124
02:25:58,180 --> 02:25:58,560
reported.

4125
02:25:59,080 --> 02:26:02,000
29 states now reporting very high or high

4126
02:26:02,000 --> 02:26:04,580
rates of illness, including New York, which just

4127
02:26:04,580 --> 02:26:07,260
reported its most ever cases in a week.

4128
02:26:07,640 --> 02:26:10,000
Some schools closing early for the holiday break

4129
02:26:10,000 --> 02:26:11,380
due to widespread illness.

4130
02:26:11,720 --> 02:26:15,220
We had about an hour where the phone

4131
02:26:15,220 --> 02:26:16,600
was just ringing off the wall.

4132
02:26:16,600 --> 02:26:20,080
And wow, they still have phones on the

4133
02:26:20,080 --> 02:26:20,900
wall like you.

4134
02:26:21,020 --> 02:26:22,480
Parents calling kids in sick.

4135
02:26:22,580 --> 02:26:24,300
I don't have a phone on the wall.

4136
02:26:24,420 --> 02:26:25,600
I thought you had a phone on the

4137
02:26:25,600 --> 02:26:25,860
wall.

4138
02:26:26,500 --> 02:26:27,940
I do not have a phone on the

4139
02:26:27,940 --> 02:26:28,140
wall.

4140
02:26:28,320 --> 02:26:30,320
That was a mean thing to say.

4141
02:26:31,560 --> 02:26:33,800
I used to have one that had a

4142
02:26:33,800 --> 02:26:34,780
crank on the side.

4143
02:26:34,820 --> 02:26:35,520
You remember that?

4144
02:26:35,640 --> 02:26:36,300
Remember that phone?

4145
02:26:36,620 --> 02:26:37,820
Yeah, I remember that phone.

4146
02:26:37,900 --> 02:26:39,740
I always thought you had a phone on

4147
02:26:39,740 --> 02:26:40,120
the wall.

4148
02:26:40,220 --> 02:26:41,420
I'm not trying to be mean.

4149
02:26:41,840 --> 02:26:44,400
When I was a kid, my parents had

4150
02:26:44,400 --> 02:26:45,260
a phone on the wall.

4151
02:26:45,980 --> 02:26:47,440
Yes, I had a phone on the wall,

4152
02:26:47,620 --> 02:26:49,900
but apparently so did New York school districts.

4153
02:26:50,080 --> 02:26:51,540
Parents calling kids in sick.

4154
02:26:51,620 --> 02:26:54,480
CDC data showing last year's child flu deaths

4155
02:26:54,480 --> 02:26:57,460
reached their highest level since the 2009 swine

4156
02:26:57,460 --> 02:26:58,160
flu pandemic.

4157
02:26:58,560 --> 02:27:01,620
Experts say vaccination rates among kids, down 10

4158
02:27:01,620 --> 02:27:04,520
% compared to before the pandemic, are partially

4159
02:27:04,520 --> 02:27:05,140
to blame.

4160
02:27:05,300 --> 02:27:07,820
The concern is the amount of patients presenting.

4161
02:27:08,240 --> 02:27:10,220
That can put strain on the hospital system,

4162
02:27:10,420 --> 02:27:13,300
limit resources, and treating the complications can become

4163
02:27:13,300 --> 02:27:14,080
even more difficult.

4164
02:27:14,080 --> 02:27:16,420
The CDC says the bulk of cases are

4165
02:27:16,420 --> 02:27:18,720
linked to a new variant called Subclade K,

4166
02:27:18,900 --> 02:27:21,220
which has mutations that appear to have resulted

4167
02:27:21,220 --> 02:27:23,720
in a mismatch with this year's flu vaccine.

4168
02:27:23,920 --> 02:27:27,700
Oh no, the flu vaccine is no good.

4169
02:27:29,500 --> 02:27:31,600
With the CDC's data is released on a

4170
02:27:31,600 --> 02:27:33,600
delay, that means these latest figures are from

4171
02:27:33,600 --> 02:27:34,740
the week before Christmas.

4172
02:27:35,220 --> 02:27:38,100
So current flu levels are likely even higher.

4173
02:27:38,240 --> 02:27:40,580
So with all of their data and all

4174
02:27:40,580 --> 02:27:43,700
of their magic science, they mismatched the flu

4175
02:27:43,700 --> 02:27:44,420
this year.

4176
02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:45,780
But it's not just flu.

4177
02:27:46,040 --> 02:27:48,140
If you were in Newark, be careful.

4178
02:27:48,460 --> 02:27:50,500
The New Jersey Health Department says some travelers

4179
02:27:50,500 --> 02:27:53,340
who passed through Newark Liberty International Airport may

4180
02:27:53,340 --> 02:27:55,240
have been exposed to measles.

4181
02:27:55,740 --> 02:27:57,640
A passenger with the disease was at the

4182
02:27:57,640 --> 02:27:59,640
airport on Friday, December 12th.

4183
02:27:59,960 --> 02:28:01,800
The person was in terminals B and C

4184
02:28:01,800 --> 02:28:02,420
all day.

4185
02:28:02,980 --> 02:28:04,640
Officials are trying to track down people.

4186
02:28:04,720 --> 02:28:05,640
What was he doing?

4187
02:28:05,800 --> 02:28:08,440
What was the traveler doing in terminals B

4188
02:28:08,440 --> 02:28:10,160
and C all day?

4189
02:28:10,720 --> 02:28:12,000
Didn't they fly somewhere?

4190
02:28:12,480 --> 02:28:12,920
Nice catch.

4191
02:28:13,040 --> 02:28:13,940
This is bullcrap.

4192
02:28:14,380 --> 02:28:17,460
Are they somehow in two terminals at the

4193
02:28:17,460 --> 02:28:19,000
same time all day?

4194
02:28:19,040 --> 02:28:19,360
All day.

4195
02:28:19,460 --> 02:28:20,520
This is bullcrap.

4196
02:28:20,660 --> 02:28:22,340
Officials are trying to track down people who

4197
02:28:22,340 --> 02:28:23,360
were likely exposed.

4198
02:28:23,640 --> 02:28:24,660
They also suggest...

4199
02:28:25,240 --> 02:28:27,400
We're going to call everybody who was likely

4200
02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:28,240
exposed.

4201
02:28:28,380 --> 02:28:30,720
Those who have not been vaccinated to get

4202
02:28:30,720 --> 02:28:32,380
an MMR shot.

4203
02:28:32,660 --> 02:28:35,140
MMR. Measles is highly contagious to those who

4204
02:28:35,140 --> 02:28:36,280
have not been vaccinated.

4205
02:28:36,480 --> 02:28:38,280
So that was ABC and then here's my

4206
02:28:38,280 --> 02:28:38,480
final...

4207
02:28:38,480 --> 02:28:38,920
Wait, stop.

4208
02:28:38,920 --> 02:28:40,880
Did you catch that little bit at the

4209
02:28:40,880 --> 02:28:41,100
end?

4210
02:28:41,560 --> 02:28:43,660
It's highly contagious to people who are not

4211
02:28:43,660 --> 02:28:44,100
vaccinated.

4212
02:28:44,600 --> 02:28:44,920
Really?

4213
02:28:45,120 --> 02:28:46,460
What if you've had the measles?

4214
02:28:46,720 --> 02:28:48,880
Measles is highly contagious to those who have

4215
02:28:48,880 --> 02:28:49,860
not been vaccinated.

4216
02:28:50,120 --> 02:28:50,280
Oh yeah.

4217
02:28:50,360 --> 02:28:53,480
It's also not contagious to people who have

4218
02:28:53,480 --> 02:28:53,980
had it.

4219
02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:54,240
Yeah.

4220
02:28:54,580 --> 02:28:55,860
No, but this is...

4221
02:28:55,860 --> 02:28:57,220
They got a big buy.

4222
02:28:57,880 --> 02:28:59,040
Yeah, I think you're right.

4223
02:28:59,160 --> 02:29:01,480
For the MMR and here's the final one.

4224
02:29:01,560 --> 02:29:02,600
Also ABC.

4225
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:04,980
The new warning from health officials about the

4226
02:29:04,980 --> 02:29:07,460
rise in flu illnesses across the country.

4227
02:29:07,460 --> 02:29:10,280
The CDC just releasing new data today.

4228
02:29:10,360 --> 02:29:13,160
Reporting more than 4 million new cases in

4229
02:29:13,160 --> 02:29:14,140
just the last week.

4230
02:29:14,300 --> 02:29:14,400
Yeah.

4231
02:29:14,400 --> 02:29:16,540
The agency says more than two dozen states

4232
02:29:16,540 --> 02:29:18,420
are reporting a high number of cases.

4233
02:29:18,760 --> 02:29:21,260
That includes Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey.

4234
02:29:21,560 --> 02:29:22,180
How high?

4235
02:29:22,680 --> 02:29:24,200
Action News reporter Maggie Kent live for us

4236
02:29:24,200 --> 02:29:27,000
at Belmont Plateau with advice from doctors.

4237
02:29:27,040 --> 02:29:27,340
Maggie.

4238
02:29:27,860 --> 02:29:28,020
Yeah.

4239
02:29:28,060 --> 02:29:29,540
We spoke to a couple of doctors today,

4240
02:29:29,640 --> 02:29:30,680
Gray and Sarah.

4241
02:29:30,900 --> 02:29:33,240
And they say, listen, something is going around.

4242
02:29:33,560 --> 02:29:34,440
You talk to anyone.

4243
02:29:34,540 --> 02:29:36,680
They probably know someone who is sick right

4244
02:29:36,680 --> 02:29:37,360
about now.

4245
02:29:37,360 --> 02:29:39,200
And it's kind of a triple threat here.

4246
02:29:39,280 --> 02:29:42,760
They're seeing cases of flu, COVID, and neurovirus.

4247
02:29:43,120 --> 02:29:44,800
I think she says neurovirus.

4248
02:29:46,480 --> 02:29:46,920
Penural.

4249
02:29:47,140 --> 02:29:47,300
Yeah.

4250
02:29:47,360 --> 02:29:48,120
Wait, listen, listen.

4251
02:29:48,340 --> 02:29:50,220
Is it too late to get a flu

4252
02:29:50,220 --> 02:29:51,700
or COVID vaccine at this...

4253
02:29:51,700 --> 02:29:53,160
Oh, I'm sure it's not.

4254
02:29:53,280 --> 02:29:53,980
...point in the season?

4255
02:29:54,500 --> 02:29:55,220
Absolutely not.

4256
02:29:55,280 --> 02:29:56,740
And we encourage you to talk to your

4257
02:29:56,740 --> 02:29:56,900
doctor.

4258
02:29:56,900 --> 02:29:58,380
Wait, stop, stop, stop the clip.

4259
02:29:59,720 --> 02:30:01,960
So they've already said that the flu vaccine

4260
02:30:01,960 --> 02:30:05,200
doesn't include this flu, this influenza A that's

4261
02:30:05,200 --> 02:30:07,380
going around that Mimi has, that you have,

4262
02:30:07,620 --> 02:30:09,020
that a bunch of people have.

4263
02:30:09,700 --> 02:30:11,800
It's not in the shot, but it's not

4264
02:30:11,800 --> 02:30:13,000
too late to get the shot.

4265
02:30:13,260 --> 02:30:14,700
Well, but you want to get the shot

4266
02:30:14,700 --> 02:30:16,720
against COVID and you want to get the

4267
02:30:16,720 --> 02:30:19,220
MMR for the measles, even though the measles

4268
02:30:19,220 --> 02:30:20,040
isn't in this report.

4269
02:30:20,160 --> 02:30:22,580
It's some mystical neurovirus.

4270
02:30:22,920 --> 02:30:26,080
But if you back it up, these specifically

4271
02:30:26,080 --> 02:30:29,740
said, should we go out and get a

4272
02:30:29,740 --> 02:30:30,280
flu shot?

4273
02:30:30,340 --> 02:30:31,840
The flu shot is included in that.

4274
02:30:32,040 --> 02:30:32,440
Let's listen.

4275
02:30:32,440 --> 02:30:35,120
That includes Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey.

4276
02:30:35,640 --> 02:30:37,200
Action News reporter Maggie Kent live for us

4277
02:30:37,200 --> 02:30:40,000
at Belmont Plateau with advice from doctors.

4278
02:30:40,040 --> 02:30:40,340
Maggie.

4279
02:30:40,860 --> 02:30:42,160
Yeah, we spoke to a couple of doctors

4280
02:30:42,160 --> 02:30:44,880
today, Gray and Sarah, and they say, listen,

4281
02:30:45,040 --> 02:30:46,200
something is going around.

4282
02:30:46,560 --> 02:30:48,620
You talk to anyone, they probably know someone

4283
02:30:48,620 --> 02:30:50,340
who is sick right about now.

4284
02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:52,180
And it's kind of a triple threat here.

4285
02:30:52,260 --> 02:30:55,760
They're seeing cases of flu, COVID and neurovirus.

4286
02:30:56,460 --> 02:30:58,300
Is it too late to get a flu

4287
02:30:58,300 --> 02:30:59,540
or COVID vaccine...

4288
02:30:59,540 --> 02:31:00,700
You're right, you nailed it.

4289
02:31:00,720 --> 02:31:01,800
...at this point in the season?

4290
02:31:01,800 --> 02:31:03,000
Absolutely not.

4291
02:31:03,120 --> 02:31:04,520
And we encourage you to talk to your

4292
02:31:04,520 --> 02:31:04,920
doctor.

4293
02:31:05,100 --> 02:31:07,480
Getting the flu vaccine is the single most

4294
02:31:07,480 --> 02:31:09,180
greatest thing that someone can do.

4295
02:31:09,360 --> 02:31:11,320
It's the single most greatest thing you can

4296
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:13,320
do in the universe is getting your vaccine.

4297
02:31:13,320 --> 02:31:15,500
They just said it doesn't work.

4298
02:31:16,180 --> 02:31:18,380
Here's another really easy thing that you can

4299
02:31:18,380 --> 02:31:18,560
do.

4300
02:31:18,680 --> 02:31:21,540
Dr. Wadlaw is stressing soap and water...

4301
02:31:21,540 --> 02:31:22,040
Dr. Wadville.

4302
02:31:22,540 --> 02:31:24,280
I gotta tell you.

4303
02:31:24,560 --> 02:31:26,380
Listen to what...

4304
02:31:26,380 --> 02:31:27,380
We're never gonna get to...

4305
02:31:27,380 --> 02:31:27,960
Dr. Wadville.

4306
02:31:28,240 --> 02:31:29,680
Hey, I got a million of them.

4307
02:31:29,680 --> 02:31:32,480
Here's another really easy thing that you can

4308
02:31:32,480 --> 02:31:32,660
do.

4309
02:31:32,760 --> 02:31:35,920
Dr. Wadlaw is stressing soap and water is

4310
02:31:35,920 --> 02:31:37,540
best here when it comes to keeping your

4311
02:31:37,540 --> 02:31:40,280
hands clean because neurovirus does not...

4312
02:31:40,280 --> 02:31:41,840
She says neurovirus.

4313
02:31:42,120 --> 02:31:42,620
I'm telling you.

4314
02:31:42,620 --> 02:31:43,080
What is this?

4315
02:31:43,180 --> 02:31:44,900
Is this some new thing they're trying to

4316
02:31:44,900 --> 02:31:46,420
slip into the public consciousness?

4317
02:31:47,960 --> 02:31:48,440
Neurovirus?

4318
02:31:48,620 --> 02:31:50,200
No, not neural, but neuro.

4319
02:31:50,600 --> 02:31:52,000
Neuro, not noro.

4320
02:31:52,220 --> 02:31:54,500
Not noro, because it's norovirus.

4321
02:31:55,120 --> 02:31:57,480
Noro, oh, norovirus.

4322
02:31:57,480 --> 02:31:58,760
She's saying neuro.

4323
02:31:59,400 --> 02:32:00,560
Listen closely.

4324
02:32:00,760 --> 02:32:02,520
And water is best here when it comes

4325
02:32:02,520 --> 02:32:05,260
to keeping your hands clean because neurovirus does

4326
02:32:05,260 --> 02:32:07,540
not respond to hand sanitizers.

4327
02:32:07,940 --> 02:32:09,840
So wash your hands often.

4328
02:32:10,060 --> 02:32:10,920
She's saying neuro.

4329
02:32:11,100 --> 02:32:12,600
I like neural even better.

4330
02:32:14,400 --> 02:32:15,120
Neurovirus.

4331
02:32:16,040 --> 02:32:16,820
You get...

4332
02:32:16,820 --> 02:32:17,180
Neural.

4333
02:32:18,940 --> 02:32:20,620
Neural is not noro.

4334
02:32:20,720 --> 02:32:21,620
It's near neural.

4335
02:32:22,820 --> 02:32:24,360
It's neuro O'Donnell.

4336
02:32:25,700 --> 02:32:26,180
Whatever.

4337
02:32:27,660 --> 02:32:28,540
You're right.

4338
02:32:28,660 --> 02:32:30,880
There's somebody dropped a ton of money.

4339
02:32:31,280 --> 02:32:31,460
Paid.

4340
02:32:31,920 --> 02:32:33,980
They got paid to do this crap.

4341
02:32:34,100 --> 02:32:35,380
And then they're promoting the...

4342
02:32:35,380 --> 02:32:37,640
In the same report, they say the flu

4343
02:32:37,640 --> 02:32:38,820
vaccine doesn't work.

4344
02:32:38,900 --> 02:32:39,960
This is an offshoot.

4345
02:32:40,220 --> 02:32:41,800
And everyone's getting sick from it.

4346
02:32:41,840 --> 02:32:43,140
But get the shot anyway.

4347
02:32:43,340 --> 02:32:44,760
Give me a break.

4348
02:32:44,840 --> 02:32:45,240
It's fantastic.

4349
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:46,400
These people are shameless.

4350
02:32:48,980 --> 02:32:51,320
So y'all should be listening to this

4351
02:32:51,320 --> 02:32:53,400
on a modern podcast app, which you can

4352
02:32:53,400 --> 02:32:54,840
get at podcastapps.com.

4353
02:32:54,840 --> 02:32:57,340
Tomorrow on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast, we'll

4354
02:32:57,340 --> 02:32:58,440
have young Mitch.

4355
02:32:58,720 --> 02:33:00,580
We'll be on the talk about Podverse 2

4356
02:33:00,580 --> 02:33:03,720
.0, which is supposed to just be dynamite.

4357
02:33:03,980 --> 02:33:05,500
So I don't know when it's being released,

4358
02:33:05,620 --> 02:33:07,720
but you'll be notified for an upgrade.

4359
02:33:07,840 --> 02:33:10,040
Don't we already know about Podcasting 2.0?

4360
02:33:11,420 --> 02:33:13,060
Do we already know about it?

4361
02:33:13,540 --> 02:33:14,980
No, what's he going to tell us?

4362
02:33:15,240 --> 02:33:18,100
Oh, no, about Podverse, the new app.

4363
02:33:18,200 --> 02:33:19,240
Oh, the new Podverse.

4364
02:33:19,500 --> 02:33:20,140
Yeah, the new...

4365
02:33:20,140 --> 02:33:22,160
Everyone's excited about the new Podverse.

4366
02:33:22,820 --> 02:33:23,060
Yeah.

4367
02:33:23,960 --> 02:33:25,480
I'm just telling you what's going on.

4368
02:33:25,660 --> 02:33:27,240
You already know what is in there.

4369
02:33:27,360 --> 02:33:28,420
What's so special?

4370
02:33:28,800 --> 02:33:29,680
I don't actually.

4371
02:33:30,120 --> 02:33:30,560
I've just...

4372
02:33:30,560 --> 02:33:33,860
He posts a lot on our Mastodon about

4373
02:33:33,860 --> 02:33:34,040
it.

4374
02:33:34,140 --> 02:33:36,100
And he's doing a lot of stuff.

4375
02:33:36,880 --> 02:33:37,740
You know, the big thing...

4376
02:33:37,740 --> 02:33:39,180
Okay, so here's the big thing that everyone

4377
02:33:39,180 --> 02:33:40,220
wants to move towards.

4378
02:33:40,360 --> 02:33:43,340
This is an interesting conundrum.

4379
02:33:45,080 --> 02:33:47,120
So everyone is like, well, we need to

4380
02:33:47,120 --> 02:33:47,700
do video.

4381
02:33:47,800 --> 02:33:48,460
We need to do video.

4382
02:33:48,520 --> 02:33:49,360
We should be doing video.

4383
02:33:49,440 --> 02:33:50,080
We should be doing video.

4384
02:33:50,200 --> 02:33:50,660
Let's do video.

4385
02:33:50,660 --> 02:33:54,240
And they're trying to sneak in that it

4386
02:33:54,240 --> 02:33:56,480
should be HLS video.

4387
02:33:57,420 --> 02:33:57,540
Why?

4388
02:33:58,220 --> 02:33:59,080
I'm going to tell you why.

4389
02:33:59,400 --> 02:34:03,500
So HLS is a streaming protocol.

4390
02:34:03,700 --> 02:34:05,160
It's actually developed by Apple.

4391
02:34:06,400 --> 02:34:07,180
And when you...

4392
02:34:08,040 --> 02:34:10,080
So, you know, podcasting used to be...

4393
02:34:10,920 --> 02:34:14,300
It automatically downloads everything for you and then

4394
02:34:14,300 --> 02:34:15,020
you just play it.

4395
02:34:15,080 --> 02:34:15,800
It's on your device.

4396
02:34:15,920 --> 02:34:18,640
That is pretty much not needed anymore unless

4397
02:34:18,640 --> 02:34:19,640
you're getting on an airplane.

4398
02:34:19,640 --> 02:34:21,480
Even then, do you really need it?

4399
02:34:21,980 --> 02:34:24,060
Because you can just click on it.

4400
02:34:24,080 --> 02:34:25,420
You don't need to download it first.

4401
02:34:25,500 --> 02:34:27,580
And it just plays because of bandwidth.

4402
02:34:28,320 --> 02:34:32,180
And podcasting was originally developed as a work

4403
02:34:32,180 --> 02:34:33,440
around a bandwidth constraint.

4404
02:34:34,280 --> 02:34:38,520
So HLS video, you won't be downloading, you

4405
02:34:38,520 --> 02:34:40,540
know, two gigabytes of a video episode.

4406
02:34:40,740 --> 02:34:42,460
It'll just give you what you need at

4407
02:34:42,460 --> 02:34:43,020
that moment.

4408
02:34:43,600 --> 02:34:47,260
Now, the podcast industrial complex wants this because

4409
02:34:47,260 --> 02:34:49,400
they also want it for MP3s.

4410
02:34:49,640 --> 02:34:51,180
Why, you ask?

4411
02:34:51,780 --> 02:34:52,420
Yeah, why?

4412
02:34:52,660 --> 02:34:55,280
Because then for the first time, we can

4413
02:34:55,280 --> 02:35:00,540
actually show advertisers the amount of time someone

4414
02:35:00,540 --> 02:35:02,900
listened if they actually heard their ad.

4415
02:35:04,480 --> 02:35:05,520
Because it will be...

4416
02:35:06,080 --> 02:35:10,540
Okay, I'm still listening, but now I'm wondering

4417
02:35:10,540 --> 02:35:11,540
how does that work?

4418
02:35:11,680 --> 02:35:13,220
Well, because it's a streaming protocol.

4419
02:35:13,400 --> 02:35:16,960
So if you're listening to minute 35, then

4420
02:35:16,960 --> 02:35:19,260
the log file shows that you are listening

4421
02:35:19,260 --> 02:35:21,560
to minute 35 as we stream that to

4422
02:35:21,560 --> 02:35:21,800
you.

4423
02:35:22,160 --> 02:35:25,400
And when you stop at minute 47, which

4424
02:35:25,400 --> 02:35:26,960
is right before an ad break, we can

4425
02:35:26,960 --> 02:35:28,900
see that you didn't listen to the ads.

4426
02:35:30,720 --> 02:35:31,940
Do you see the difference?

4427
02:35:32,680 --> 02:35:34,920
When you download a podcast, they have no

4428
02:35:34,920 --> 02:35:36,260
idea if you heard the ad.

4429
02:35:36,440 --> 02:35:37,780
They just saw you got a download.

4430
02:35:38,440 --> 02:35:41,380
So now they're in this conundrum because they

4431
02:35:41,380 --> 02:35:43,760
desperately want to be able to show advertisers.

4432
02:35:44,140 --> 02:35:48,880
But wait, I appreciate the desire to show

4433
02:35:48,880 --> 02:35:51,460
these advertisers or whatever, because the advertisers are

4434
02:35:51,460 --> 02:35:52,040
so important.

4435
02:35:52,560 --> 02:35:54,360
They run everything, so we have to do

4436
02:35:54,360 --> 02:35:54,680
that.

4437
02:35:55,300 --> 02:36:00,000
But how many people are going to adopt

4438
02:36:00,000 --> 02:36:02,860
pure streaming as opposed to download and play?

4439
02:36:03,160 --> 02:36:06,640
It would be completely seamless to you because

4440
02:36:06,640 --> 02:36:08,520
people don't even know that it's downloading.

4441
02:36:08,820 --> 02:36:10,260
People don't even know that it's an...

4442
02:36:10,940 --> 02:36:13,020
Podcasters don't even know that it's an RSS

4443
02:36:13,020 --> 02:36:13,380
feed.

4444
02:36:13,540 --> 02:36:16,780
Oh, I just use rss.com or Buzzsprout

4445
02:36:16,780 --> 02:36:18,100
because they're my distributor.

4446
02:36:18,420 --> 02:36:20,220
They distribute it everywhere.

4447
02:36:20,320 --> 02:36:21,600
They have no idea how it works.

4448
02:36:22,740 --> 02:36:23,820
So they don't care.

4449
02:36:24,720 --> 02:36:25,700
Listeners don't care.

4450
02:36:25,780 --> 02:36:26,900
You just hit the play button.

4451
02:36:27,020 --> 02:36:27,880
It shows up in your app.

4452
02:36:27,920 --> 02:36:28,700
You hit the play button.

4453
02:36:28,880 --> 02:36:30,920
No different from a modern podcast app.

4454
02:36:31,120 --> 02:36:32,160
You get the bat signal.

4455
02:36:32,640 --> 02:36:34,280
It says no agenda show live.

4456
02:36:34,360 --> 02:36:34,720
You hit it.

4457
02:36:34,780 --> 02:36:35,700
You're streaming, right?

4458
02:36:36,540 --> 02:36:38,020
So they don't know the difference.

4459
02:36:38,700 --> 02:36:41,660
The problem is they all want to move

4460
02:36:41,660 --> 02:36:44,540
towards this because the advertising industry wants it,

4461
02:36:44,940 --> 02:36:46,940
but nobody really wants to do it because

4462
02:36:46,940 --> 02:36:49,120
then we'll find out that no one's actually

4463
02:36:49,120 --> 02:36:50,520
listening to these podcasts.

4464
02:36:50,920 --> 02:36:52,360
They're just being downloaded.

4465
02:36:54,100 --> 02:36:56,940
Yes, and they've been reporting download numbers for

4466
02:36:56,940 --> 02:36:59,900
20 years and it's going to be, oh,

4467
02:37:00,260 --> 02:37:02,080
oh, oh, I'm sorry.

4468
02:37:02,200 --> 02:37:03,900
People don't actually hear the ads.

4469
02:37:04,720 --> 02:37:07,620
That's the problem, which is exactly why we

4470
02:37:07,620 --> 02:37:07,960
use...

4471
02:37:07,960 --> 02:37:08,740
No, that's why you use...

4472
02:37:08,740 --> 02:37:10,400
I was wondering why you use the word

4473
02:37:10,400 --> 02:37:12,840
at the beginning of this little presentation, the

4474
02:37:12,840 --> 02:37:13,980
word conundrum.

4475
02:37:14,240 --> 02:37:14,460
Yes.

4476
02:37:14,480 --> 02:37:16,360
And that is indeed a conundrum.

4477
02:37:16,360 --> 02:37:17,760
It is a big conundrum.

4478
02:37:17,900 --> 02:37:18,460
Exactly.

4479
02:37:19,220 --> 02:37:21,940
Because the industry wants it, but they don't

4480
02:37:21,940 --> 02:37:22,700
really want it.

4481
02:37:23,680 --> 02:37:26,760
And so all eyes on Apple because Apple

4482
02:37:26,760 --> 02:37:29,360
doesn't support HLS in their podcast app.

4483
02:37:29,440 --> 02:37:31,920
But if they do, then everyone will be

4484
02:37:31,920 --> 02:37:34,440
doing HLS and you're going to see the

4485
02:37:34,440 --> 02:37:36,840
podcast spectrum go from four and a half

4486
02:37:36,840 --> 02:37:37,740
million to two.

4487
02:37:38,880 --> 02:37:41,560
Very quickly because the money will go away.

4488
02:37:42,740 --> 02:37:43,380
Because of course...

4489
02:37:43,960 --> 02:37:45,420
What little money there is.

4490
02:37:45,420 --> 02:37:48,000
Well, they say it's 2.6 billion.

4491
02:37:52,040 --> 02:37:52,520
Exactly.

4492
02:37:54,020 --> 02:37:54,500
Okay.

4493
02:37:54,700 --> 02:37:55,640
That's just America.

4494
02:37:56,080 --> 02:37:57,000
That's just America.

4495
02:37:59,020 --> 02:37:59,920
So we don't...

4496
02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:01,940
Homie don't play that game.

4497
02:38:02,000 --> 02:38:02,380
Exactly.

4498
02:38:02,620 --> 02:38:03,420
We don't play that.

4499
02:38:03,500 --> 02:38:04,680
We have value for value.

4500
02:38:04,800 --> 02:38:06,900
The only way we stay alive is if

4501
02:38:06,900 --> 02:38:08,680
you continue to support us with your time,

4502
02:38:08,800 --> 02:38:09,880
your talent, and your treasure.

4503
02:38:10,260 --> 02:38:12,580
One of those three T's is indeed the

4504
02:38:12,580 --> 02:38:15,300
artwork, which we are appreciative of, even though,

4505
02:38:15,480 --> 02:38:17,320
you know, I feel it's diminished.

4506
02:38:17,320 --> 02:38:18,620
Even though one of the two of us

4507
02:38:18,620 --> 02:38:19,540
hates it.

4508
02:38:20,020 --> 02:38:22,660
I've never said I hated it, but okay.

4509
02:38:23,840 --> 02:38:25,900
Well, what happens now is Darren O...

4510
02:38:25,900 --> 02:38:27,920
You know, why don't we just create a

4511
02:38:27,920 --> 02:38:30,820
website called Darren O'Neill's Art and just

4512
02:38:30,820 --> 02:38:32,160
have him upload the...

4513
02:38:32,160 --> 02:38:33,260
Don't even make it public.

4514
02:38:33,420 --> 02:38:35,080
Just email it to us, Darren.

4515
02:38:35,660 --> 02:38:37,720
Because he's the only one that gets some

4516
02:38:37,720 --> 02:38:39,500
decent results out of it, it seems.

4517
02:38:40,240 --> 02:38:41,120
Because we've chosen...

4518
02:38:41,120 --> 02:38:42,980
Well, if you notice you got some very...

4519
02:38:42,980 --> 02:38:46,620
You got a very interesting result in his

4520
02:38:46,620 --> 02:38:49,340
one, the Happy New Year one, that says,

4521
02:38:49,480 --> 02:38:50,060
Happy New Year.

4522
02:38:50,420 --> 02:38:53,980
Welcome to 2005 or whatever it is.

4523
02:38:54,020 --> 02:38:54,780
Did you notice that?

4524
02:38:55,180 --> 02:38:56,460
No, I'm looking at the one...

4525
02:38:56,460 --> 02:38:58,420
First, I'm looking at the one from episode

4526
02:38:58,420 --> 02:39:01,920
1829, which we titled Zummerwaffen.

4527
02:39:03,120 --> 02:39:04,120
And that is...

4528
02:39:04,620 --> 02:39:08,060
It wasn't necessarily a Happy New Year's type

4529
02:39:08,060 --> 02:39:08,620
of artwork.

4530
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:10,600
Of course, we were a few days away

4531
02:39:10,600 --> 02:39:13,020
from the changing of the year.

4532
02:39:13,520 --> 02:39:15,860
This was the kind of anarchist piece, which

4533
02:39:15,860 --> 02:39:18,300
I'm surprised you allowed it because when you

4534
02:39:18,300 --> 02:39:19,880
really look at it, it's kind of gruesome.

4535
02:39:20,120 --> 02:39:22,560
You got a skull in there and...

4536
02:39:22,560 --> 02:39:23,540
Yeah, well, it was all...

4537
02:39:23,540 --> 02:39:24,740
It was playful.

4538
02:39:25,140 --> 02:39:28,080
It was gruesome, but playful.

4539
02:39:28,280 --> 02:39:29,420
It was complicated.

4540
02:39:30,200 --> 02:39:31,580
Yeah, you're probably right.

4541
02:39:31,640 --> 02:39:33,180
I probably should have vetoed it because of

4542
02:39:33,180 --> 02:39:33,800
the gruesome.

4543
02:39:34,320 --> 02:39:35,360
But it was playful.

4544
02:39:35,760 --> 02:39:36,560
It didn't bother me.

4545
02:39:36,780 --> 02:39:38,920
For some reason, the gruesomeness did not come

4546
02:39:38,920 --> 02:39:39,740
to the fore.

4547
02:39:39,740 --> 02:39:42,880
So, congratulations once again, Darren O'Neill.

4548
02:39:44,300 --> 02:39:46,100
And let's just take a look at the

4549
02:39:46,100 --> 02:39:46,520
other...

4550
02:39:46,520 --> 02:39:48,000
at noagendaartgenerator.com.

4551
02:39:48,000 --> 02:39:49,400
Well, look at the one where he did

4552
02:39:50,340 --> 02:39:51,300
Goodbye 2005.

4553
02:39:53,320 --> 02:39:54,640
Is it a new one?

4554
02:39:55,180 --> 02:39:57,280
No, it came in the same batch.

4555
02:39:57,480 --> 02:39:58,400
Oh, okay.

4556
02:39:58,520 --> 02:39:59,460
I see his here.

4557
02:39:59,640 --> 02:40:01,140
Goodbye 2005.

4558
02:40:01,380 --> 02:40:01,920
Let's see.

4559
02:40:03,220 --> 02:40:04,360
I don't see it.

4560
02:40:05,200 --> 02:40:06,140
Another problem.

4561
02:40:06,220 --> 02:40:07,080
It's just so much.

4562
02:40:07,240 --> 02:40:07,880
It's just...

4563
02:40:07,880 --> 02:40:10,080
I give you that one.

4564
02:40:10,240 --> 02:40:12,340
It's just colors swimming before my eyes.

4565
02:40:12,940 --> 02:40:16,300
Okay, what's in the current first page...

4566
02:40:16,300 --> 02:40:16,960
It's by Darren.

4567
02:40:17,280 --> 02:40:18,340
So, that's easier to search.

4568
02:40:18,340 --> 02:40:19,120
It's by Darren.

4569
02:40:19,380 --> 02:40:19,960
Yeah, okay.

4570
02:40:20,020 --> 02:40:20,420
Let me just...

4571
02:40:20,900 --> 02:40:22,040
Let me search Darren.

4572
02:40:22,200 --> 02:40:23,040
That's probably easier.

4573
02:40:24,060 --> 02:40:24,360
Okay.

4574
02:40:25,780 --> 02:40:26,720
Darren O'Neill.

4575
02:40:27,020 --> 02:40:27,320
I'll be all right.

4576
02:40:28,940 --> 02:40:30,540
I'm looking for Goodbye 2005.

4577
02:40:31,000 --> 02:40:31,740
Both fireworks.

4578
02:40:33,080 --> 02:40:34,020
It says, Bye.

4579
02:40:34,220 --> 02:40:35,460
Bye 2005.

4580
02:40:36,380 --> 02:40:37,480
Yes, I see it.

4581
02:40:38,840 --> 02:40:39,960
Bye 2005.

4582
02:40:40,100 --> 02:40:40,940
Okay, yeah.

4583
02:40:41,060 --> 02:40:42,880
Well, and he uploaded it anyway.

4584
02:40:43,200 --> 02:40:45,940
How he didn't catch that was because he

4585
02:40:45,940 --> 02:40:46,680
didn't see it.

4586
02:40:46,740 --> 02:40:47,100
He saw...

4587
02:40:47,740 --> 02:40:49,560
He knows what he put in and then

4588
02:40:49,560 --> 02:40:50,740
he just posted it.

4589
02:40:50,920 --> 02:40:54,060
So, this is part of the problem.

4590
02:40:54,340 --> 02:40:54,560
Yeah.

4591
02:40:55,020 --> 02:40:57,100
This is junk being posted.

4592
02:40:57,720 --> 02:41:00,240
Even by the top guy, Darren O'Neill

4593
02:41:00,240 --> 02:41:01,340
is posting garbage.

4594
02:41:01,500 --> 02:41:03,020
This should have never been posted.

4595
02:41:03,280 --> 02:41:04,120
You're right.

4596
02:41:04,780 --> 02:41:07,820
People, if it's garbage, don't post it.

4597
02:41:09,080 --> 02:41:10,040
But, of course, everyone...

4598
02:41:10,040 --> 02:41:10,920
Oh, this is great.

4599
02:41:11,020 --> 02:41:12,020
This is a great piece.

4600
02:41:12,120 --> 02:41:13,060
Oh, it's fantastic.

4601
02:41:13,200 --> 02:41:14,120
The boys will love it.

4602
02:41:15,260 --> 02:41:16,440
It's ruining everything.

4603
02:41:16,860 --> 02:41:17,900
This show is ending.

4604
02:41:18,640 --> 02:41:20,400
We're not going to make another year, let

4605
02:41:20,400 --> 02:41:21,300
alone four more.

4606
02:41:22,220 --> 02:41:22,780
This is...

4607
02:41:22,780 --> 02:41:24,040
We're going down, man.

4608
02:41:24,300 --> 02:41:26,020
We're playing AI clips.

4609
02:41:26,120 --> 02:41:27,480
We've got stupid AI art.

4610
02:41:27,600 --> 02:41:29,180
We got end of show mixes that are

4611
02:41:29,180 --> 02:41:31,100
just sound formula AI.

4612
02:41:32,180 --> 02:41:33,300
You know, why don't we just make...

4613
02:41:33,300 --> 02:41:35,080
If they could make us AI, I would

4614
02:41:35,080 --> 02:41:36,180
be all for it.

4615
02:41:36,560 --> 02:41:37,460
Now, look at this.

4616
02:41:37,460 --> 02:41:38,980
I'll just go off and do a podcast

4617
02:41:38,980 --> 02:41:42,000
with Pastor Jimmy, who loves me.

4618
02:41:45,640 --> 02:41:48,700
Look at the pieces that just came in,

4619
02:41:48,820 --> 02:41:50,900
in the second row down or so.

4620
02:41:51,360 --> 02:41:54,620
You got the cartoon with the baby and

4621
02:41:54,620 --> 02:41:57,620
the AI called Crying Kids by Darren O

4622
02:41:57,620 --> 02:41:57,840
'Neill.

4623
02:41:58,620 --> 02:42:00,900
Where did that model come from?

4624
02:42:01,240 --> 02:42:03,440
This is a totally different cartoon style.

4625
02:42:03,580 --> 02:42:04,760
It's also, I see it on his other

4626
02:42:04,760 --> 02:42:05,120
pieces.

4627
02:42:05,300 --> 02:42:06,020
Yeah, bikini.

4628
02:42:06,020 --> 02:42:09,560
Completely new cartoon style.

4629
02:42:10,780 --> 02:42:12,460
Of course, if you notice the woman, this

4630
02:42:12,460 --> 02:42:15,440
is another example of putting garbage up that

4631
02:42:15,440 --> 02:42:16,580
Darren should not post.

4632
02:42:16,900 --> 02:42:19,060
The woman has three arms.

4633
02:42:21,760 --> 02:42:23,180
Which one is that?

4634
02:42:23,300 --> 02:42:24,500
I don't see three arms.

4635
02:42:25,100 --> 02:42:25,960
Crying Kid.

4636
02:42:26,580 --> 02:42:27,920
Oh, she does have three arms.

4637
02:42:28,000 --> 02:42:28,440
You're right.

4638
02:42:34,000 --> 02:42:35,340
That is bad.

4639
02:42:35,340 --> 02:42:36,720
Yeah, that's just...

4640
02:42:36,720 --> 02:42:37,540
Oh, I did it.

4641
02:42:37,720 --> 02:42:38,680
It gave me a prompt.

4642
02:42:38,840 --> 02:42:39,700
All right, I'm good.

4643
02:42:40,960 --> 02:42:42,260
They'll choose me anyway.

4644
02:42:44,200 --> 02:42:45,920
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

4645
02:42:46,320 --> 02:42:49,500
Well, that's like MVP who's doing the end

4646
02:42:49,500 --> 02:42:50,040
of show mix.

4647
02:42:50,100 --> 02:42:52,100
It's like, man, I should make...

4648
02:42:52,100 --> 02:42:53,800
Can't I make them three or four minutes?

4649
02:42:53,920 --> 02:42:56,180
No, it's hard to listen to a minute

4650
02:42:56,180 --> 02:42:56,680
and a half.

4651
02:42:57,960 --> 02:42:58,820
Yeah, but listen to this.

4652
02:42:58,840 --> 02:42:59,380
It's really good.

4653
02:42:59,460 --> 02:43:00,060
No, it's not.

4654
02:43:01,640 --> 02:43:02,280
It's not.

4655
02:43:02,900 --> 02:43:04,840
Nothing is good for four minutes as an

4656
02:43:04,840 --> 02:43:05,520
end of show mix.

4657
02:43:05,620 --> 02:43:06,240
None of it.

4658
02:43:06,520 --> 02:43:08,100
Maybe we should just stop with the end

4659
02:43:08,100 --> 02:43:08,620
of show mix.

4660
02:43:08,700 --> 02:43:09,120
How about that?

4661
02:43:09,380 --> 02:43:10,520
We stop the end of show mix.

4662
02:43:10,520 --> 02:43:11,840
Yeah, this would hurt your feelings.

4663
02:43:12,060 --> 02:43:13,440
No, no, no, no.

4664
02:43:13,440 --> 02:43:14,020
It's your...

4665
02:43:14,020 --> 02:43:14,800
You do it.

4666
02:43:14,840 --> 02:43:15,640
You're controlling it.

4667
02:43:15,700 --> 02:43:17,460
You're the producer of the end of show

4668
02:43:17,460 --> 02:43:17,560
mixes.

4669
02:43:17,560 --> 02:43:19,360
No, I'm the one complaining about it.

4670
02:43:19,880 --> 02:43:20,700
I'd be happy not to do it.

4671
02:43:20,700 --> 02:43:22,120
Well, as any producer would do.

4672
02:43:22,180 --> 02:43:23,180
This is like Brunetti.

4673
02:43:23,780 --> 02:43:25,220
He complains about the tips.

4674
02:43:25,860 --> 02:43:27,200
Remember how this started.

4675
02:43:27,340 --> 02:43:29,180
This started with we do an end of

4676
02:43:29,180 --> 02:43:30,020
show clip.

4677
02:43:30,500 --> 02:43:32,280
And it would be a longer clip.

4678
02:43:32,380 --> 02:43:33,520
It was actually in the beginning.

4679
02:43:33,620 --> 02:43:34,440
Because I went back and checked.

4680
02:43:34,540 --> 02:43:36,240
It would be like sometimes a four, five,

4681
02:43:36,340 --> 02:43:37,240
six minute clip.

4682
02:43:37,400 --> 02:43:39,180
It was interesting to listen to.

4683
02:43:39,440 --> 02:43:41,020
And then people started sending these...

4684
02:43:41,020 --> 02:43:42,740
Oh, that lasted no very...

4685
02:43:43,280 --> 02:43:44,240
That was short-lived.

4686
02:43:44,260 --> 02:43:46,780
Because people started sending things they produced.

4687
02:43:47,060 --> 02:43:48,700
And then I remember you saying, I really

4688
02:43:48,700 --> 02:43:49,120
like it.

4689
02:43:49,160 --> 02:43:50,760
Because it's kind of a nice way.

4690
02:43:51,020 --> 02:43:52,700
The show ends and you got something to

4691
02:43:52,700 --> 02:43:53,220
listen to.

4692
02:43:53,360 --> 02:43:55,120
And now it's just become painful.

4693
02:43:55,680 --> 02:43:57,400
So why don't we just stop that and

4694
02:43:57,400 --> 02:43:58,680
just have Darren do the art.

4695
02:43:58,880 --> 02:43:59,600
And just give him a...

4696
02:43:59,600 --> 02:44:01,420
Change the credit every time.

4697
02:44:02,120 --> 02:44:02,680
It's easier.

4698
02:44:03,700 --> 02:44:05,400
Or maybe you just ask him what model

4699
02:44:05,400 --> 02:44:05,900
he's using.

4700
02:44:05,980 --> 02:44:06,660
And you do the art.

4701
02:44:06,740 --> 02:44:07,200
You're an artist.

4702
02:44:08,280 --> 02:44:09,440
I'm not gonna...

4703
02:44:09,440 --> 02:44:11,060
Well, he's already showed me a lot of

4704
02:44:11,060 --> 02:44:12,360
stuff that is quite interesting.

4705
02:44:12,640 --> 02:44:14,620
But he spends...

4706
02:44:14,620 --> 02:44:16,100
The difference is time.

4707
02:44:17,320 --> 02:44:19,220
No, it's just run its course.

4708
02:44:21,900 --> 02:44:24,520
Well, the album art hasn't run its course.

4709
02:44:24,520 --> 02:44:25,840
Because we can't get away from that.

4710
02:44:25,900 --> 02:44:26,900
That's from the beginning.

4711
02:44:27,080 --> 02:44:27,260
Right.

4712
02:44:27,320 --> 02:44:28,100
But it's all Darren.

4713
02:44:31,320 --> 02:44:33,840
Well, you know, the thing about...

4714
02:44:33,840 --> 02:44:34,300
We got three people.

4715
02:44:34,720 --> 02:44:34,820
Wait.

4716
02:44:35,360 --> 02:44:37,920
Do you remember the era of Martin JJ?

4717
02:44:38,460 --> 02:44:38,960
Yes.

4718
02:44:39,680 --> 02:44:42,060
Martin JJ was dominating the art.

4719
02:44:42,280 --> 02:44:42,540
Yeah.

4720
02:44:43,060 --> 02:44:44,920
For months and months and months.

4721
02:44:45,080 --> 02:44:47,240
And he was just winning everything like Darren's

4722
02:44:47,240 --> 02:44:47,460
doing.

4723
02:44:47,800 --> 02:44:50,300
And he just stood up and said, I

4724
02:44:50,300 --> 02:44:50,640
quit.

4725
02:44:51,820 --> 02:44:52,160
Yeah.

4726
02:44:52,300 --> 02:44:53,760
I've been winning too much art.

4727
02:44:55,040 --> 02:44:57,240
What he did is he fell on his

4728
02:44:57,240 --> 02:44:57,940
sword.

4729
02:44:59,120 --> 02:45:02,380
Yeah, but he's trying to come back and

4730
02:45:02,380 --> 02:45:03,360
he's not done.

4731
02:45:03,460 --> 02:45:04,760
He hasn't been able to do it.

4732
02:45:04,920 --> 02:45:06,340
Well, this is like anything else.

4733
02:45:06,460 --> 02:45:08,420
If you're in a groove and you take

4734
02:45:08,420 --> 02:45:10,220
some time off, the groove is gone.

4735
02:45:10,340 --> 02:45:11,560
And you never come back.

4736
02:45:12,800 --> 02:45:13,780
I mean, we had a lot of guys

4737
02:45:13,780 --> 02:45:14,840
that were really outstanding.

4738
02:45:15,080 --> 02:45:16,380
Pettigrew is a good example.

4739
02:45:16,380 --> 02:45:17,780
But he can't listen to the show.

4740
02:45:18,360 --> 02:45:20,040
Nick the Rat comes and goes.

4741
02:45:21,060 --> 02:45:23,880
But maybe, Darren, I'm not saying he should

4742
02:45:23,880 --> 02:45:24,380
yet.

4743
02:45:25,060 --> 02:45:26,980
But now that I've seen these two pieces

4744
02:45:26,980 --> 02:45:29,280
of slop, the 2005 thing, and the woman

4745
02:45:29,280 --> 02:45:32,520
with three arms and he's posting them, maybe

4746
02:45:32,520 --> 02:45:36,120
he should reconsider and maybe only produce one

4747
02:45:36,120 --> 02:45:36,800
or two pieces.

4748
02:45:36,940 --> 02:45:38,280
But then look at his bitch and moan

4749
02:45:38,280 --> 02:45:41,040
with the Canada flag and the two buttons.

4750
02:45:41,280 --> 02:45:43,720
I mean, that is Darren.

4751
02:45:44,420 --> 02:45:45,560
That's a good piece.

4752
02:45:46,720 --> 02:45:47,900
Where's the bitch and moan?

4753
02:45:48,260 --> 02:45:50,340
Oh, that's a great piece.

4754
02:45:50,580 --> 02:45:52,620
So Darren O'Neill, we should just email

4755
02:45:52,620 --> 02:45:53,340
it to us, Darren.

4756
02:45:53,460 --> 02:45:53,880
It's easier.

4757
02:45:55,220 --> 02:45:56,620
Then we'll have to discuss it.

4758
02:45:56,700 --> 02:45:57,800
Just like, oh, Darren's great.

4759
02:45:58,500 --> 02:45:59,520
Boost him on his show.

4760
02:46:01,280 --> 02:46:03,380
But I mean, AI is ruining my life.

4761
02:46:06,310 --> 02:46:07,730
It's not ruining your life.

4762
02:46:07,970 --> 02:46:08,870
More than you know.

4763
02:46:11,200 --> 02:46:11,560
Everything.

4764
02:46:11,740 --> 02:46:13,920
But people email me entire AI.

4765
02:46:14,240 --> 02:46:15,660
Oh, I've done some research.

4766
02:46:16,160 --> 02:46:17,980
And don't send me the output of Chad

4767
02:46:17,980 --> 02:46:18,580
GPT.

4768
02:46:20,700 --> 02:46:22,820
Don't send me the output of your Chad

4769
02:46:22,820 --> 02:46:23,320
GPT.

4770
02:46:23,460 --> 02:46:23,940
Don't.

4771
02:46:23,980 --> 02:46:24,760
Just don't.

4772
02:46:25,420 --> 02:46:26,480
With your em dashes?

4773
02:46:26,560 --> 02:46:26,840
No.

4774
02:46:27,260 --> 02:46:27,500
No.

4775
02:46:27,500 --> 02:46:28,380
No, please don't.

4776
02:46:29,540 --> 02:46:31,180
No, it's everyone.

4777
02:46:31,480 --> 02:46:33,160
No, Darren has to keep doing this until

4778
02:46:33,160 --> 02:46:34,500
somebody else comes along.

4779
02:46:34,620 --> 02:46:35,800
Yeah, well, OK, we'll see.

4780
02:46:35,940 --> 02:46:37,480
Jeffrey Ray is very competitive.

4781
02:46:38,000 --> 02:46:39,680
Yeah, but he has bad models.

4782
02:46:40,160 --> 02:46:41,700
His models aren't always good.

4783
02:46:41,780 --> 02:46:43,460
And Blue Acorn sometimes good.

4784
02:46:43,940 --> 02:46:47,020
Anyway, let us thank the people who also

4785
02:46:47,020 --> 02:46:47,460
matter.

4786
02:46:47,600 --> 02:46:49,600
I wouldn't say only matter, but also matter.

4787
02:46:49,800 --> 02:46:50,540
What happened?

4788
02:46:50,600 --> 02:46:52,280
All of a sudden, people supported us.

4789
02:46:52,680 --> 02:46:53,580
This was nice.

4790
02:46:53,800 --> 02:46:54,340
At the end of the year, they're looking

4791
02:46:54,340 --> 02:46:54,780
at their bank.

4792
02:46:54,860 --> 02:46:56,560
Oh, you know, this time at the end

4793
02:46:56,560 --> 02:46:58,040
of the year, let's give them some support.

4794
02:46:58,360 --> 02:47:00,100
Oh, so Sunday will suck.

4795
02:47:00,160 --> 02:47:00,840
Is that what you're saying?

4796
02:47:01,580 --> 02:47:03,120
Well, we'll find out, won't we?

4797
02:47:03,200 --> 02:47:04,980
But the point is, is that it seems

4798
02:47:04,980 --> 02:47:06,280
like there was a scramble.

4799
02:47:06,660 --> 02:47:07,040
Yeah.

4800
02:47:07,660 --> 02:47:11,260
At the end to help us to bring

4801
02:47:11,260 --> 02:47:12,300
the show back up to speed.

4802
02:47:12,380 --> 02:47:15,040
Of course, the books have already been closed.

4803
02:47:15,220 --> 02:47:17,280
So this goes in the next year, which

4804
02:47:17,280 --> 02:47:18,200
is fine with me.

4805
02:47:19,100 --> 02:47:21,180
But I like it.

4806
02:47:21,240 --> 02:47:22,040
I'm not complaining.

4807
02:47:22,160 --> 02:47:22,740
That's for sure.

4808
02:47:22,840 --> 02:47:23,800
I appreciate it.

4809
02:47:23,800 --> 02:47:26,820
And it's a hey, looking at the time,

4810
02:47:26,920 --> 02:47:28,460
maybe we should just do all the donations

4811
02:47:28,460 --> 02:47:29,260
in this segment.

4812
02:47:29,660 --> 02:47:30,960
We're running behind.

4813
02:47:31,880 --> 02:47:32,640
All right, let's do it.

4814
02:47:32,860 --> 02:47:33,080
All right.

4815
02:47:33,080 --> 02:47:36,320
Let's start then with Dame Mama Khan from

4816
02:47:36,320 --> 02:47:37,580
Sylvania, Ohio.

4817
02:47:38,160 --> 02:47:39,600
Fifteen hundred dollars.

4818
02:47:39,740 --> 02:47:40,540
Thank you very much.

4819
02:47:40,620 --> 02:47:42,800
A very nice way to start off the

4820
02:47:42,800 --> 02:47:43,280
new year.

4821
02:47:44,080 --> 02:47:47,060
And here is her note, a handwritten note.

4822
02:47:47,160 --> 02:47:47,680
Merry Christmas.

4823
02:47:47,840 --> 02:47:49,360
Happy New Year to John and Adam and

4824
02:47:49,360 --> 02:47:50,360
the Noah agenda nation.

4825
02:47:50,360 --> 02:47:51,860
Karma all around.

4826
02:47:52,220 --> 02:47:55,040
Dame Mama Khan, as in Decepticons.

4827
02:47:55,360 --> 02:47:58,060
P.S. If gold and silver are rising,

4828
02:47:58,420 --> 02:47:59,440
what is dropping?

4829
02:48:00,420 --> 02:48:01,580
Oh, well, that's an easy one.

4830
02:48:02,200 --> 02:48:03,640
The value of your money.

4831
02:48:04,540 --> 02:48:07,920
Your actual fiat paper money is devaluing.

4832
02:48:08,040 --> 02:48:08,920
That's the answer.

4833
02:48:09,240 --> 02:48:10,840
Here's your karma, Dame Mama Khan.

4834
02:48:11,240 --> 02:48:12,780
You've got karma.

4835
02:48:15,400 --> 02:48:18,480
Here we go to R.S. Bagwell.

4836
02:48:19,780 --> 02:48:22,320
Mr. Bagwell in Louisville, Kentucky.

4837
02:48:22,760 --> 02:48:24,400
One, two, three, four, five, six.

4838
02:48:24,720 --> 02:48:26,300
One thousand two hundred thirty four dollars.

4839
02:48:26,400 --> 02:48:28,660
This is the best donation number you can

4840
02:48:28,660 --> 02:48:29,200
come up with.

4841
02:48:29,420 --> 02:48:29,820
Beautiful number.

4842
02:48:30,000 --> 02:48:30,760
Beautiful number.

4843
02:48:32,540 --> 02:48:35,980
Gentlemen, here is my twenty twenty five donation.

4844
02:48:37,200 --> 02:48:39,300
All I request is jobs, karma.

4845
02:48:39,620 --> 02:48:42,280
The original, the original jobs coming, not the

4846
02:48:42,280 --> 02:48:42,920
one with Trump.

4847
02:48:44,100 --> 02:48:47,460
Karma continues to come through for me because

4848
02:48:47,460 --> 02:48:47,940
of this.

4849
02:48:47,940 --> 02:48:49,780
I'm able to continue my support of the

4850
02:48:49,780 --> 02:48:51,220
best podcast in the universe.

4851
02:48:51,400 --> 02:48:52,880
Cheers, he writes.

4852
02:48:53,000 --> 02:48:54,840
R.S. Bagwell, good for him.

4853
02:48:55,120 --> 02:48:58,580
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.

4854
02:48:58,720 --> 02:49:00,240
Let's vote for jobs.

4855
02:49:01,860 --> 02:49:05,940
Now talking of another great note here from

4856
02:49:05,940 --> 02:49:07,300
Little John's Candies.

4857
02:49:07,460 --> 02:49:08,700
No, it's not from Christopher.

4858
02:49:08,900 --> 02:49:11,220
It's from Little John's Candies this time from

4859
02:49:11,220 --> 02:49:12,360
Somerset, California.

4860
02:49:12,960 --> 02:49:15,200
Eleven hundred and thirty one dollars and 30

4861
02:49:15,200 --> 02:49:16,220
cents with a note.

4862
02:49:16,800 --> 02:49:19,460
And he says, John, I'm like, I'm chopped

4863
02:49:19,460 --> 02:49:19,740
liver.

4864
02:49:20,500 --> 02:49:22,320
This is not my donation.

4865
02:49:22,940 --> 02:49:25,160
This is the donation from the one hundred

4866
02:49:25,160 --> 02:49:28,220
plus producers that used I.T.M. ten

4867
02:49:28,220 --> 02:49:31,300
plus ten at Little John's Candies dot com.

4868
02:49:32,120 --> 02:49:34,360
See email for detailed list of producers.

4869
02:49:34,740 --> 02:49:36,200
Oh, I didn't get a detailed list of

4870
02:49:36,200 --> 02:49:36,540
producers.

4871
02:49:38,040 --> 02:49:38,780
Did you?

4872
02:49:39,120 --> 02:49:40,280
No, I didn't.

4873
02:49:40,440 --> 02:49:41,120
I didn't notice.

4874
02:49:41,360 --> 02:49:43,200
Were we supposed to thank them all individually?

4875
02:49:43,420 --> 02:49:43,980
No, of course not.

4876
02:49:43,980 --> 02:49:46,640
They all bought boxes of candy.

4877
02:49:46,900 --> 02:49:47,520
What exactly?

4878
02:49:47,920 --> 02:49:50,760
This is an interesting model that has kind

4879
02:49:50,760 --> 02:49:52,400
of appeared here from Little John's.

4880
02:49:52,480 --> 02:49:53,760
Others have done it, but I don't think

4881
02:49:53,760 --> 02:49:54,740
ever to this extent.

4882
02:49:55,200 --> 02:49:57,320
This is like value for value plugging.

4883
02:49:57,720 --> 02:49:59,580
I mean, what exactly do we call it?

4884
02:49:59,660 --> 02:50:01,600
It is very similar to No Agenda Shop.

4885
02:50:02,240 --> 02:50:02,660
Yeah.

4886
02:50:03,020 --> 02:50:04,720
I don't know if they're still alive.

4887
02:50:06,060 --> 02:50:06,180
No.

4888
02:50:09,000 --> 02:50:10,620
It's a tough, tough business.

4889
02:50:10,800 --> 02:50:11,260
Doing merch.

4890
02:50:11,600 --> 02:50:12,040
Merch.

4891
02:50:12,460 --> 02:50:13,400
It sucks, man.

4892
02:50:13,400 --> 02:50:15,000
Merch is tough.

4893
02:50:15,580 --> 02:50:16,420
It's tough.

4894
02:50:16,720 --> 02:50:18,280
That's why we don't do it.

4895
02:50:18,520 --> 02:50:18,860
That's right.

4896
02:50:19,080 --> 02:50:20,340
I mean, I think we tried it for

4897
02:50:20,340 --> 02:50:21,020
one minute.

4898
02:50:21,500 --> 02:50:23,920
Nick Fuentes does his merch.

4899
02:50:24,620 --> 02:50:26,420
Well, a lot of guys are a lot

4900
02:50:26,420 --> 02:50:28,420
of I don't want to Nick's not an

4901
02:50:28,420 --> 02:50:29,420
amateur by any means.

4902
02:50:29,480 --> 02:50:30,140
He's very professional.

4903
02:50:30,300 --> 02:50:31,620
But at the same time, I think a

4904
02:50:31,620 --> 02:50:35,520
lot of people, especially podcasters, are naive about

4905
02:50:35,520 --> 02:50:36,260
the merch.

4906
02:50:36,980 --> 02:50:38,440
They think, don't you think?

4907
02:50:38,500 --> 02:50:41,940
Because we right away saw this as a

4908
02:50:41,940 --> 02:50:42,300
loser.

4909
02:50:42,900 --> 02:50:44,180
We're not going to do that.

4910
02:50:45,540 --> 02:50:46,860
We can't do that.

4911
02:50:47,240 --> 02:50:48,640
You got to coordinate it.

4912
02:50:48,720 --> 02:50:50,000
You got to design it.

4913
02:50:50,100 --> 02:50:51,500
You got to print it.

4914
02:50:51,620 --> 02:50:52,880
You got to, you know, if you're set

4915
02:50:52,880 --> 02:50:54,620
up to print T-shirts, maybe if you

4916
02:50:54,620 --> 02:50:56,420
have like the T-shirt spinner at your

4917
02:50:56,420 --> 02:50:58,660
house there, you can stamp out some T

4918
02:50:58,660 --> 02:50:58,780
-shirts.

4919
02:50:58,900 --> 02:51:00,540
Then you don't have any of that stuff.

4920
02:51:00,700 --> 02:51:02,680
So it's like merch is like.

4921
02:51:03,300 --> 02:51:03,700
Merch.

4922
02:51:04,440 --> 02:51:04,840
Merch.

4923
02:51:05,180 --> 02:51:05,580
Merch.

4924
02:51:05,680 --> 02:51:06,000
No good.

4925
02:51:06,400 --> 02:51:06,780
All right.

4926
02:51:06,980 --> 02:51:07,760
You're up next.

4927
02:51:08,360 --> 02:51:09,280
This is good.

4928
02:51:09,900 --> 02:51:11,680
A lot of these are all Peace Prize

4929
02:51:11,680 --> 02:51:12,360
winners, too.

4930
02:51:13,080 --> 02:51:13,320
Yes.

4931
02:51:14,260 --> 02:51:15,740
We ended up the year with a lot

4932
02:51:15,740 --> 02:51:15,940
of them.

4933
02:51:16,040 --> 02:51:16,520
Not that we do.

4934
02:51:16,620 --> 02:51:18,240
We don't do merch.

4935
02:51:18,340 --> 02:51:20,480
We just do Peace Prizes and PhDs.

4936
02:51:21,300 --> 02:51:21,740
Yeah.

4937
02:51:21,960 --> 02:51:23,260
It's a version of merch.

4938
02:51:24,040 --> 02:51:27,080
Well, it's more of a premium, I'd call

4939
02:51:27,080 --> 02:51:27,420
it.

4940
02:51:27,620 --> 02:51:27,720
Premium.

4941
02:51:28,460 --> 02:51:29,900
Sir Eric is naked.

4942
02:51:30,180 --> 02:51:32,360
It's not merch because it's not taxed.

4943
02:51:32,460 --> 02:51:33,560
Ah, there you go.

4944
02:51:33,560 --> 02:51:34,420
That's another thing.

4945
02:51:34,740 --> 02:51:35,180
Yeah.

4946
02:51:35,500 --> 02:51:37,900
When you do merch, you got to deal

4947
02:51:37,900 --> 02:51:38,820
with taxation.

4948
02:51:39,760 --> 02:51:41,960
And every state's got its own.

4949
02:51:42,580 --> 02:51:43,220
No, I hate that.

4950
02:51:43,320 --> 02:51:44,020
That's no good.

4951
02:51:44,820 --> 02:51:45,920
Who wants to do it?

4952
02:51:47,300 --> 02:51:48,100
Sir Eric is naked.

4953
02:51:48,100 --> 02:51:49,040
Well, no, that's not true.

4954
02:51:49,120 --> 02:51:51,000
All the podcasters think it's a good idea.

4955
02:51:51,500 --> 02:51:53,420
Sir Eric is naked and he's in South

4956
02:51:53,420 --> 02:51:54,300
Ogden, Utah.

4957
02:51:54,600 --> 02:51:56,320
And he came in with a thousand dollars.

4958
02:51:56,460 --> 02:51:56,780
Wow.

4959
02:51:57,300 --> 02:51:58,960
Thirty and twenty-six cents.

4960
02:51:59,260 --> 02:52:01,600
One, oh, three, oh, two, six.

4961
02:52:02,560 --> 02:52:04,440
Happy New Year to the best podcasts in

4962
02:52:04,440 --> 02:52:04,900
the universe.

4963
02:52:04,900 --> 02:52:10,800
Hopefully, my $1,030.26, which is 30

4964
02:52:10,800 --> 02:52:12,900
.26, covers the PayPal fees.

4965
02:52:13,020 --> 02:52:13,580
Ah, got it.

4966
02:52:13,840 --> 02:52:14,200
That's a lot.

4967
02:52:14,580 --> 02:52:15,600
15 cents if you send a check.

4968
02:52:16,960 --> 02:52:19,920
V4V came in time for the coveted International

4969
02:52:19,920 --> 02:52:20,640
Peace Prize.

4970
02:52:20,960 --> 02:52:21,740
All right, good for him.

4971
02:52:22,200 --> 02:52:23,180
No jingles.

4972
02:52:23,560 --> 02:52:24,200
All the best.

4973
02:52:24,260 --> 02:52:25,580
Sir Eric is naked.

4974
02:52:26,420 --> 02:52:26,940
All right.

4975
02:52:27,340 --> 02:52:28,400
I don't know why he's naked.

4976
02:52:28,860 --> 02:52:31,500
No, he is Sir Eric and he's naked.

4977
02:52:31,780 --> 02:52:32,840
That's fine by me.

4978
02:52:33,840 --> 02:52:35,580
Jermaine C is not naked.

4979
02:52:35,740 --> 02:52:37,120
He's in O'Fallon, Missouri.

4980
02:52:37,540 --> 02:52:40,500
Sends us $1,000 and a hilarious note.

4981
02:52:40,940 --> 02:52:46,560
Two pages from the desk of Jermaine C.

4982
02:52:47,020 --> 02:52:47,440
Night.

4983
02:52:47,800 --> 02:52:48,600
Oh, look at this.

4984
02:52:48,980 --> 02:52:51,280
This is in pen and I don't think

4985
02:52:51,280 --> 02:52:52,240
I can read this whole thing.

4986
02:52:52,760 --> 02:52:54,720
In the morning to both of you magnificent

4987
02:52:54,720 --> 02:52:57,500
bastards of media secret messaging decoders.

4988
02:52:57,920 --> 02:52:59,320
I want to start off by saying because

4989
02:52:59,320 --> 02:53:01,020
of you two, I have further become more

4990
02:53:01,020 --> 02:53:01,680
of an anomaly.

4991
02:53:01,680 --> 02:53:04,260
The 18 plus years of work you guys

4992
02:53:04,260 --> 02:53:06,620
have done has caused me to further unlock

4993
02:53:06,620 --> 02:53:09,000
the mental shackles and bindings that I have

4994
02:53:09,000 --> 02:53:13,140
been brainwashed into applying or manipulated.

4995
02:53:13,320 --> 02:53:14,400
He crossed that out.

4996
02:53:14,540 --> 02:53:16,220
Into applying onto myself.

4997
02:53:16,420 --> 02:53:18,440
In order to not make this letter too

4998
02:53:18,440 --> 02:53:21,820
long, which it already is, it's two full

4999
02:53:21,820 --> 02:53:22,380
pages.

5000
02:53:23,420 --> 02:53:25,260
I'll just go over the bullet points of

5001
02:53:25,260 --> 02:53:26,240
the most important parts.

5002
02:53:26,400 --> 02:53:27,920
Origin to start listening to the show in

5003
02:53:27,920 --> 02:53:28,880
the late 2000s.

5004
02:53:28,880 --> 02:53:30,500
Back around the time Adam made a guest

5005
02:53:30,500 --> 02:53:32,060
appearance on Cranky Geeks.

5006
02:53:32,540 --> 02:53:35,480
Which never, which Adam, I was never on

5007
02:53:35,480 --> 02:53:36,160
Cranky Geeks.

5008
02:53:36,680 --> 02:53:37,360
Yes, you were.

5009
02:53:37,460 --> 02:53:37,760
I was.

5010
02:53:37,760 --> 02:53:40,120
The original Cranky Geeks when Ziff was doing

5011
02:53:40,120 --> 02:53:40,540
it.

5012
02:53:40,880 --> 02:53:42,880
Oh, one time, one time at your studio.

5013
02:53:42,880 --> 02:53:43,600
One time.

5014
02:53:43,880 --> 02:53:45,020
It was years.

5015
02:53:45,160 --> 02:53:46,460
It was in the 90s.

5016
02:53:46,460 --> 02:53:48,500
It was years before we started this show.

5017
02:53:49,940 --> 02:53:50,440
Wow.

5018
02:53:50,700 --> 02:53:52,880
I don't even think it was pre-MeVeo

5019
02:53:52,880 --> 02:53:54,360
or pre-pod show.

5020
02:53:54,480 --> 02:53:54,760
Really?

5021
02:53:55,500 --> 02:53:56,900
Yeah, it was when you were.

5022
02:53:56,900 --> 02:53:57,840
Why was I on?

5023
02:53:58,880 --> 02:54:01,180
You were in town or something somehow.

5024
02:54:01,420 --> 02:54:02,540
I don't know how you even got on

5025
02:54:02,540 --> 02:54:02,640
the show.

5026
02:54:02,960 --> 02:54:04,860
I don't think it was that long ago.

5027
02:54:05,360 --> 02:54:06,840
It was a long time ago because it

5028
02:54:06,840 --> 02:54:09,620
was in the studio at the Ziff studios.

5029
02:54:09,820 --> 02:54:09,920
Yeah.

5030
02:54:10,320 --> 02:54:12,680
Well, he says Adam kept making jokes about

5031
02:54:12,680 --> 02:54:13,980
Johnny Ives voice.

5032
02:54:14,420 --> 02:54:15,400
I'm Johnny Ive.

5033
02:54:16,220 --> 02:54:17,520
I've created the iPhone.

5034
02:54:17,700 --> 02:54:18,360
I'm Johnny Ive.

5035
02:54:18,780 --> 02:54:19,940
I remember that.

5036
02:54:20,300 --> 02:54:21,460
I became hooked since.

5037
02:54:21,920 --> 02:54:23,420
Have you heard my Alex Jones?

5038
02:54:23,940 --> 02:54:25,120
Yeah, we got all the documents.

5039
02:54:25,320 --> 02:54:26,140
Candace, I love you.

5040
02:54:26,640 --> 02:54:27,260
You're wrong.

5041
02:54:27,380 --> 02:54:27,720
You're wrong.

5042
02:54:27,760 --> 02:54:28,340
It's all wrong.

5043
02:54:28,340 --> 02:54:30,320
The elites have gotten control of you.

5044
02:54:30,880 --> 02:54:32,180
I listened to the show on and off.

5045
02:54:32,300 --> 02:54:33,040
You know what?

5046
02:54:33,120 --> 02:54:35,520
I think it's still good if you slowed

5047
02:54:35,520 --> 02:54:36,880
it down just a little bit.

5048
02:54:39,390 --> 02:54:39,670
All right.

5049
02:54:39,770 --> 02:54:42,910
I think your cadence is off, but I

5050
02:54:42,910 --> 02:54:44,170
think the voice is still solid.

5051
02:54:44,270 --> 02:54:47,030
We got a really important emergency broadcast.

5052
02:54:47,330 --> 02:54:47,830
That's perfect.

5053
02:54:48,850 --> 02:54:49,650
That's terrific.

5054
02:54:49,890 --> 02:54:50,550
It's an emergency broadcast.

5055
02:54:50,810 --> 02:54:52,370
We got the John C.

5056
02:54:52,410 --> 02:54:54,270
Dvorak from the very famous No Agenda show.

5057
02:54:55,030 --> 02:54:56,370
As you're speeding up again.

5058
02:54:56,370 --> 02:54:56,930
Yeah, you're right.

5059
02:54:57,010 --> 02:54:58,470
Okay, I'll work on it.

5060
02:54:59,370 --> 02:55:00,690
As I listen to the show off and

5061
02:55:00,690 --> 02:55:02,010
on up until the end of Trump's first

5062
02:55:02,010 --> 02:55:03,670
term, shit was hitting the fan too hard

5063
02:55:03,670 --> 02:55:03,930
for me.

5064
02:55:03,970 --> 02:55:05,330
And I need to disconnect from it all

5065
02:55:05,330 --> 02:55:08,090
and refocus on my immediate priorities, mainly getting

5066
02:55:08,090 --> 02:55:09,490
through engineering school.

5067
02:55:09,890 --> 02:55:11,890
Then he has covades, he says.

5068
02:55:12,350 --> 02:55:15,130
Long story short, I am growing prouder by

5069
02:55:15,130 --> 02:55:16,530
the day, knowing that I wasn't the only

5070
02:55:16,530 --> 02:55:18,250
one to reach the same conclusion that the

5071
02:55:18,250 --> 02:55:21,070
VAX, aka the curse, was total bullcrap.

5072
02:55:21,530 --> 02:55:24,390
I was still in California, struggling through engineering

5073
02:55:24,390 --> 02:55:24,790
school.

5074
02:55:25,450 --> 02:55:26,590
Okay, I'm going to go down a little

5075
02:55:26,590 --> 02:55:26,970
bit.

5076
02:55:27,490 --> 02:55:28,710
Go down a lot.

5077
02:55:28,870 --> 02:55:30,670
Yeah, I'm going to do something different from

5078
02:55:30,670 --> 02:55:32,310
my request if it's okay with you guys.

5079
02:55:32,470 --> 02:55:34,130
I don't need karma because I don't believe

5080
02:55:34,130 --> 02:55:34,350
in it.

5081
02:55:34,430 --> 02:55:36,050
I don't need jobs karma because I already

5082
02:55:36,050 --> 02:55:36,570
got one.

5083
02:55:36,990 --> 02:55:38,610
I don't need house karma either because I

5084
02:55:38,610 --> 02:55:39,630
have one of those as well.

5085
02:55:39,850 --> 02:55:41,370
The only thing I could use is some

5086
02:55:41,370 --> 02:55:42,790
relationship assistance.

5087
02:55:43,250 --> 02:55:45,110
It's kind of lonely up here on the

5088
02:55:45,110 --> 02:55:47,510
top of my personal peak of success.

5089
02:55:49,170 --> 02:55:52,010
Jingles, 70s rock version of 999.

5090
02:55:52,370 --> 02:55:53,290
I have a metal version.

5091
02:55:53,350 --> 02:55:55,410
I don't, I don't really, I don't remember

5092
02:55:55,410 --> 02:55:56,850
a 70s rock version.

5093
02:55:57,450 --> 02:56:00,810
Uh, writing, writing up fake news.

5094
02:56:01,670 --> 02:56:02,830
What was that?

5095
02:56:03,310 --> 02:56:04,130
I have no idea.

5096
02:56:04,830 --> 02:56:06,370
Um, wait, maybe.

5097
02:56:06,710 --> 02:56:08,030
These are mysterious.

5098
02:56:08,370 --> 02:56:10,770
Fake, fake news jingle.

5099
02:56:10,930 --> 02:56:12,250
Is there a fake news jingle?

5100
02:56:12,650 --> 02:56:13,810
No, not that I know of.

5101
02:56:13,930 --> 02:56:18,090
Uh, yeah, we've had, uh, well, I'll play

5102
02:56:18,090 --> 02:56:18,750
one for you.

5103
02:56:19,210 --> 02:56:21,110
Lesser played Pastor Manning.

5104
02:56:21,510 --> 02:56:24,230
If you have Manning calling Trump a chump,

5105
02:56:24,290 --> 02:56:25,150
please use that.

5106
02:56:25,150 --> 02:56:28,430
No, we'll do a money shot.

5107
02:56:28,890 --> 02:56:32,910
Night name, night name, night, no name, nobody.

5108
02:56:33,710 --> 02:56:35,770
So he will be knighted as night, no

5109
02:56:35,770 --> 02:56:36,890
name, nobody.

5110
02:56:37,190 --> 02:56:37,710
And thank you.

5111
02:56:37,750 --> 02:56:38,530
I want to play a little bit of

5112
02:56:38,530 --> 02:56:40,010
this 999 metal version.

5113
02:56:40,930 --> 02:56:42,130
See if that's what you're looking for.

5114
02:56:49,800 --> 02:56:50,880
Starts here, I think.

5115
02:56:55,400 --> 02:56:56,760
Yeah, yeah, that's it.

5116
02:56:56,760 --> 02:56:57,480
That's the one.

5117
02:56:57,660 --> 02:56:58,240
That's the ticket.

5118
02:56:59,500 --> 02:57:01,160
That's better than the end of show mixes.

5119
02:57:02,700 --> 02:57:04,900
Writing up some fake news.

5120
02:57:06,480 --> 02:57:09,600
Trying to get cheap clicks and cop-paid

5121
02:57:09,600 --> 02:57:10,260
views.

5122
02:57:10,740 --> 02:57:13,100
Writing up some fake news.

5123
02:57:14,240 --> 02:57:17,680
Oh, it's propaganda time.

5124
02:57:17,800 --> 02:57:19,380
That's a show-off money shot.

5125
02:57:19,560 --> 02:57:20,360
Oh, Jesus.

5126
02:57:20,960 --> 02:57:22,160
Look at that.

5127
02:57:22,300 --> 02:57:23,420
That's a money shot.

5128
02:57:23,800 --> 02:57:26,160
Karen Conway in a money shot.

5129
02:57:26,160 --> 02:57:26,940
There you go.

5130
02:57:27,700 --> 02:57:28,140
There you go.

5131
02:57:28,140 --> 02:57:30,720
Fake news jingles better than the AI stuff

5132
02:57:30,720 --> 02:57:31,320
that we're getting.

5133
02:57:32,260 --> 02:57:33,300
That is my point.

5134
02:57:34,700 --> 02:57:36,200
Today, we're just going to end the show.

5135
02:57:36,800 --> 02:57:37,520
We're just going to end it.

5136
02:57:37,660 --> 02:57:38,360
No end of show mixes.

5137
02:57:38,380 --> 02:57:40,520
No, you got stuff planned.

5138
02:57:40,640 --> 02:57:41,460
I heard the clips.

5139
02:57:41,560 --> 02:57:42,400
It's no good.

5140
02:57:43,000 --> 02:57:44,580
It's okay, but it's...

5141
02:57:44,580 --> 02:57:46,380
I'm getting disturbed by this.

5142
02:57:46,680 --> 02:57:47,320
What do you mean?

5143
02:57:48,060 --> 02:57:49,680
Well, I mean, at the end of show

5144
02:57:49,680 --> 02:57:52,160
little songs, there was always some killers in

5145
02:57:52,160 --> 02:57:54,020
there that were once in a while.

5146
02:57:54,880 --> 02:57:56,720
When's the last killer you remember?

5147
02:57:56,860 --> 02:57:59,580
I thought the No Agenda Christmas or whatever

5148
02:57:59,580 --> 02:58:01,320
it was from somebody.

5149
02:58:01,700 --> 02:58:02,540
Darren O'Neill.

5150
02:58:03,740 --> 02:58:05,520
Yeah, a couple of two, three shows ago.

5151
02:58:05,600 --> 02:58:06,200
It was outstanding.

5152
02:58:06,500 --> 02:58:07,320
It was Darren O'Neill.

5153
02:58:08,040 --> 02:58:09,920
Yeah, we should just make him a partner.

5154
02:58:13,180 --> 02:58:14,880
And bring Larry in the deal too.

5155
02:58:14,920 --> 02:58:15,160
He is a partner.

5156
02:58:15,320 --> 02:58:16,380
We don't have to make him one.

5157
02:58:16,500 --> 02:58:17,740
Bring Larry in on the deal.

5158
02:58:17,820 --> 02:58:18,400
It's all good.

5159
02:58:23,160 --> 02:58:23,880
You're up.

5160
02:58:24,020 --> 02:58:24,420
You're up.

5161
02:58:24,420 --> 02:58:25,120
I know I'm up.

5162
02:58:25,120 --> 02:58:29,000
I closed the spreadsheet by accident.

5163
02:58:29,360 --> 02:58:30,040
Sir Shug.

5164
02:58:30,200 --> 02:58:30,600
Hey.

5165
02:58:31,240 --> 02:58:32,240
In Kamas, Washington.

5166
02:58:32,460 --> 02:58:33,980
He came in with 616.

5167
02:58:35,200 --> 02:58:36,280
And he said...

5168
02:58:36,280 --> 02:58:36,940
He's faux diddly.

5169
02:58:37,580 --> 02:58:39,880
ITM, Adam and John, happy new year to

5170
02:58:39,880 --> 02:58:40,040
you.

5171
02:58:40,140 --> 02:58:42,480
The donation of 616 brings me to another

5172
02:58:42,480 --> 02:58:44,600
knighthood, which is to be a switcheroo given

5173
02:58:44,600 --> 02:58:47,120
to my smoking hot wife, granting her a

5174
02:58:47,120 --> 02:58:48,920
damehood in the No Agenda Nation.

5175
02:58:49,100 --> 02:58:53,240
Her title will be Dame Jitterbug Fixer of

5176
02:58:53,240 --> 02:58:55,300
Gadgets for the round table.

5177
02:58:55,540 --> 02:59:01,260
She requests a New York strip, medium rare,

5178
02:59:02,100 --> 02:59:04,960
sourced from a local rancher and a Pepsi.

5179
02:59:05,820 --> 02:59:07,640
So you might as well wash down your

5180
02:59:07,640 --> 02:59:10,240
beautifully clean steak with some poison.

5181
02:59:12,060 --> 02:59:14,080
She needs a de-douching and a lot

5182
02:59:14,080 --> 02:59:16,800
of phosphoric acid, which is, I think, tasty.

5183
02:59:17,500 --> 02:59:19,360
She needs a de-douching and can use

5184
02:59:19,360 --> 02:59:21,920
a we're all gonna die little girl jingle.

5185
02:59:22,800 --> 02:59:25,040
Thank you for your attention to this matter,

5186
02:59:25,180 --> 02:59:28,060
Sir Shug, aka faux diddly.

5187
02:59:29,680 --> 02:59:31,500
You've been de-douched.

5188
02:59:31,640 --> 02:59:32,620
We're all gonna die.

5189
02:59:33,180 --> 02:59:34,240
Another classic.

5190
02:59:34,520 --> 02:59:35,080
Another classic.

5191
02:59:35,680 --> 02:59:38,800
Commodore G, Cincinnati, Ohio, 34375.

5192
02:59:39,060 --> 02:59:40,260
Executive producership for you.

5193
02:59:40,540 --> 02:59:43,300
Should remind everybody that if you donate $200

5194
02:59:43,300 --> 02:59:46,120
or above, you become an associate executive producer

5195
02:59:46,120 --> 02:59:47,640
and we'll read your note within reason.

5196
02:59:48,020 --> 02:59:50,100
And if it's $300 or above, you get

5197
02:59:50,100 --> 02:59:51,220
an executive producer title.

5198
02:59:51,220 --> 02:59:53,220
All these are good at imdb.com or

5199
02:59:53,220 --> 02:59:55,960
your LinkedIn profile or on the X, wherever

5200
02:59:55,960 --> 02:59:56,660
you want to put it.

5201
02:59:56,820 --> 03:00:00,000
Put it on your, what's the blue, the

5202
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:02,560
blue cry, the blue sky profiles and people

5203
03:00:02,560 --> 03:00:03,360
will block you.

5204
03:00:03,640 --> 03:00:04,500
That's still running?

5205
03:00:04,920 --> 03:00:05,900
I think so, yeah.

5206
03:00:06,800 --> 03:00:09,320
And Commodore G says, happy new year from

5207
03:00:09,320 --> 03:00:10,020
Commodore G.

5208
03:00:11,220 --> 03:00:13,280
And then we have Jeffrey Ray, who I

5209
03:00:13,280 --> 03:00:14,200
believe is the artist.

5210
03:00:14,340 --> 03:00:14,620
Yes.

5211
03:00:15,980 --> 03:00:19,080
In Madeira, the island, Portuguese island.

5212
03:00:19,240 --> 03:00:19,780
I didn't know that.

5213
03:00:19,780 --> 03:00:20,740
I didn't know that either.

5214
03:00:21,220 --> 03:00:23,480
Uh, uh, Madeira, Madeira.

5215
03:00:24,280 --> 03:00:25,200
And, uh.

5216
03:00:25,260 --> 03:00:26,860
Give me a glass of Madeira, my dear.

5217
03:00:27,260 --> 03:00:27,540
That's what.

5218
03:00:27,620 --> 03:00:30,780
Make it very, uh, very nice.

5219
03:00:30,900 --> 03:00:33,140
People should have, I should put it on

5220
03:00:33,140 --> 03:00:33,540
the tips.

5221
03:00:33,660 --> 03:00:34,700
I have to give, I should get a

5222
03:00:34,700 --> 03:00:36,100
little lecture on Madeira sometime.

5223
03:00:36,300 --> 03:00:38,460
Oh, by the way, we had dinner last

5224
03:00:38,460 --> 03:00:40,200
night with the international arms dealer.

5225
03:00:40,400 --> 03:00:42,540
He told me he's, you know, he's in

5226
03:00:42,540 --> 03:00:44,160
all these wine groups and everything.

5227
03:00:44,160 --> 03:00:49,760
He said that the bourbon barrel age, uh,

5228
03:00:49,780 --> 03:00:53,120
red wines are all happening now.

5229
03:00:53,120 --> 03:00:54,240
It's the big thing.

5230
03:00:54,240 --> 03:00:56,300
And he was on this mailing list and

5231
03:00:56,300 --> 03:00:58,040
he said, well, actually John C.

5232
03:00:58,080 --> 03:01:00,200
Dvorak of the no agenda show gave me

5233
03:01:00,200 --> 03:01:02,000
a great tip on the Robert Modavi.

5234
03:01:02,780 --> 03:01:04,600
And apparently this is now a thing.

5235
03:01:04,660 --> 03:01:06,600
The bourbon barrel aged, uh.

5236
03:01:06,620 --> 03:01:08,240
There's a ton of them out there.

5237
03:01:08,260 --> 03:01:09,000
Yeah, yeah.

5238
03:01:09,060 --> 03:01:09,860
I've noticed this too.

5239
03:01:09,940 --> 03:01:12,040
So people who follow that tip are, are

5240
03:01:12,040 --> 03:01:13,280
literally on the tip.

5241
03:01:14,280 --> 03:01:15,400
The head of the game.

5242
03:01:15,740 --> 03:01:17,860
They read the other ones I've, I've seen

5243
03:01:17,860 --> 03:01:19,200
out there are garbage.

5244
03:01:19,660 --> 03:01:22,180
So the one we recommend is the one

5245
03:01:22,180 --> 03:01:22,800
always get.

5246
03:01:22,960 --> 03:01:25,280
Anyway, Jeffrey Ray came with three 3333 has

5247
03:01:25,280 --> 03:01:25,920
no note.

5248
03:01:26,020 --> 03:01:27,260
I have no idea why you think he

5249
03:01:27,260 --> 03:01:28,520
would have a note since he sends in

5250
03:01:28,520 --> 03:01:28,840
art.

5251
03:01:29,320 --> 03:01:30,960
And I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.

5252
03:01:31,400 --> 03:01:32,940
So we'll give him a double up karma.

5253
03:01:33,160 --> 03:01:34,200
That's exactly what we'll do.

5254
03:01:34,300 --> 03:01:37,700
You've got karma.

5255
03:01:38,720 --> 03:01:41,860
Matthew Doolittle, Raleigh, North Carolina, three 3333.

5256
03:01:41,860 --> 03:01:42,820
Happy new year.

5257
03:01:42,980 --> 03:01:45,400
You climate change denying Zionist chills.

5258
03:01:45,540 --> 03:01:48,480
He says, I couldn't think of a less

5259
03:01:48,480 --> 03:01:49,180
deserving pair.

5260
03:01:49,220 --> 03:01:51,080
Considering you ride on the laurels of the

5261
03:01:51,080 --> 03:01:53,200
almighty podcast creator, Tom green.

5262
03:01:53,380 --> 03:01:53,740
Okay.

5263
03:01:54,100 --> 03:01:54,940
We've got a comedian.

5264
03:01:55,980 --> 03:01:58,160
I surely hope a portion of this donation

5265
03:01:58,160 --> 03:02:00,920
goes on to, to forward a video based

5266
03:02:00,920 --> 03:02:03,340
podcast for him on rumble or similar platform

5267
03:02:03,340 --> 03:02:05,420
with hyperlocal focus on Ontario.

5268
03:02:05,540 --> 03:02:07,220
Canada's greatest export.

5269
03:02:07,220 --> 03:02:10,140
Neil perks may no longer exist, but perhaps

5270
03:02:10,140 --> 03:02:12,280
Drake can employ a world-class drummer for

5271
03:02:12,280 --> 03:02:13,560
Tom's next video cast.

5272
03:02:13,960 --> 03:02:14,140
Wow.

5273
03:02:14,220 --> 03:02:16,880
This is very cultural to my lovely wife,

5274
03:02:17,040 --> 03:02:17,300
Chelsea.

5275
03:02:17,640 --> 03:02:20,040
I hope that in 2026, we continue to

5276
03:02:20,040 --> 03:02:21,980
have more fun adventures across the globe.

5277
03:02:22,340 --> 03:02:23,820
I am joyous that we can make it

5278
03:02:23,820 --> 03:02:26,060
thousands of miles across the Atlantic or across

5279
03:02:26,060 --> 03:02:27,700
the U S for that matter, seamlessly.

5280
03:02:27,920 --> 03:02:29,880
I'm not sure how many thousands of miles

5281
03:02:29,880 --> 03:02:31,380
we have traveled together, though.

5282
03:02:31,420 --> 03:02:33,280
I prayed has given us status on at

5283
03:02:33,280 --> 03:02:36,100
least some airline, our willingness to take advantage

5284
03:02:36,100 --> 03:02:38,400
of cheap flights and hotels during the lockdowns

5285
03:02:38,400 --> 03:02:39,800
carries on to this day.

5286
03:02:40,080 --> 03:02:41,640
You are a shark when it comes to

5287
03:02:41,640 --> 03:02:44,560
trip planning, amazing trips, and I love you.

5288
03:02:45,180 --> 03:02:46,120
On a sadder note.

5289
03:02:46,600 --> 03:02:48,400
I would like to call out my douchebag

5290
03:02:48,400 --> 03:02:48,760
friend.

5291
03:02:48,800 --> 03:02:53,120
Alex currently resides in Raleigh, North Carolina.

5292
03:02:53,240 --> 03:02:56,160
He's a transplant from new England and apparently

5293
03:02:56,160 --> 03:02:58,740
lost my place, left his wallet in Connecticut

5294
03:02:58,740 --> 03:03:00,140
20 plus years ago.

5295
03:03:00,280 --> 03:03:03,020
I've listened to enough donation segments and splits

5296
03:03:03,020 --> 03:03:05,680
split enough bar tabs with this man to

5297
03:03:05,680 --> 03:03:07,560
understand he is indeed a cheap bastard.

5298
03:03:08,580 --> 03:03:10,040
He originally hit me in the mouth.

5299
03:03:10,100 --> 03:03:11,720
So I'm deeply sad and John and Adam,

5300
03:03:11,840 --> 03:03:13,580
please take this donation and hold on to

5301
03:03:13,580 --> 03:03:14,600
it until such point.

5302
03:03:14,980 --> 03:03:17,300
Nick Fuentes does one of those masterclass things

5303
03:03:17,300 --> 03:03:19,420
that my social media keeps pushing on me.

5304
03:03:19,740 --> 03:03:22,140
He undoubtedly would have prescribed the correct birthday

5305
03:03:22,140 --> 03:03:24,260
to me, which is April 15th and not

5306
03:03:24,260 --> 03:03:27,280
the 19th as noted on episode 1756.

5307
03:03:28,620 --> 03:03:30,700
Regardless, I love you guys and happy new

5308
03:03:30,700 --> 03:03:32,040
year to you and your families.

5309
03:03:32,380 --> 03:03:33,600
Well, that's one for Jay.

5310
03:03:33,600 --> 03:03:35,180
I hope she hope she read it, Jay.

5311
03:03:37,900 --> 03:03:40,280
OK, onward with Darius Gandhi, who is in

5312
03:03:40,280 --> 03:03:41,480
Santa Monica, California.

5313
03:03:41,620 --> 03:03:43,240
He came in with three, three, three, three,

5314
03:03:43,400 --> 03:03:44,660
three, and he says sending an email.

5315
03:03:44,780 --> 03:03:46,160
No, we have not got the note.

5316
03:03:46,440 --> 03:03:47,420
At least I don't have it.

5317
03:03:47,480 --> 03:03:48,020
Maybe you do.

5318
03:03:48,100 --> 03:03:49,680
And it would be sent, of course, to

5319
03:03:49,680 --> 03:03:53,400
notes at no agenda show dot net notes

5320
03:03:53,400 --> 03:03:55,660
at no agenda show dot net.

5321
03:03:55,880 --> 03:03:57,100
And if you send a note to Adam

5322
03:03:57,100 --> 03:03:59,560
or myself, make sure to put donation in

5323
03:03:59,560 --> 03:04:02,640
the subject line just so it gets shuffled

5324
03:04:02,640 --> 03:04:04,840
over to know it's all we do is

5325
03:04:04,840 --> 03:04:06,980
send it to notes at no agenda show

5326
03:04:06,980 --> 03:04:07,980
dot net ourselves.

5327
03:04:08,240 --> 03:04:10,020
So you might as well skip the middleman.

5328
03:04:10,620 --> 03:04:11,420
So he did.

5329
03:04:11,740 --> 03:04:12,440
We have no notes.

5330
03:04:12,500 --> 03:04:13,600
So give him a double up karma.

5331
03:04:13,800 --> 03:04:14,380
Yes, we will.

5332
03:04:16,200 --> 03:04:19,660
You've got karma.

5333
03:04:20,520 --> 03:04:21,340
Sir Bobby.

5334
03:04:21,600 --> 03:04:22,860
Sir Bobby's in Amsterdam.

5335
03:04:23,240 --> 03:04:24,020
That's in the Netherlands.

5336
03:04:24,160 --> 03:04:25,160
Three thirty three, he says.

5337
03:04:25,260 --> 03:04:28,040
Merry New Year from Sir Bobby, the redoer.

5338
03:04:28,540 --> 03:04:29,120
All right, sir.

5339
03:04:29,140 --> 03:04:30,140
Bobby, thank you very much.

5340
03:04:31,400 --> 03:04:33,100
OK, now I have.

5341
03:04:35,740 --> 03:04:37,620
Sorry, Cassandra, she screams.

5342
03:04:38,280 --> 03:04:43,720
Yeah, I have Cassandra bear bear 250 dollars,

5343
03:04:43,860 --> 03:04:45,280
250 dollars and 15 cents.

5344
03:04:45,360 --> 03:04:47,520
She'll be a first associate executive producer.

5345
03:04:48,580 --> 03:04:52,400
And she says, see, attached docs 12, 11,

5346
03:04:52,500 --> 03:04:54,240
25 to John and Adam.

5347
03:04:54,240 --> 03:04:55,860
I don't have that, but I do have

5348
03:04:55,860 --> 03:04:56,160
this.

5349
03:04:56,240 --> 03:04:57,420
She needs health karma.

5350
03:04:58,260 --> 03:04:59,300
Hit it.

5351
03:04:59,300 --> 03:05:00,280
He's Trump.

5352
03:05:00,340 --> 03:05:01,740
He's Trump, the president.

5353
03:05:02,100 --> 03:05:03,160
No, hold on a second.

5354
03:05:03,460 --> 03:05:04,760
She's never heard that for a while.

5355
03:05:04,860 --> 03:05:06,620
She sent us the word document.

5356
03:05:08,040 --> 03:05:09,960
Her note was so big she put it

5357
03:05:09,960 --> 03:05:10,760
in a word doc.

5358
03:05:10,920 --> 03:05:12,040
You didn't get the word doc?

5359
03:05:12,560 --> 03:05:13,580
No, I don't have it.

5360
03:05:13,700 --> 03:05:13,880
No.

5361
03:05:14,180 --> 03:05:16,600
Oh, well, if you recall, she and her

5362
03:05:16,600 --> 03:05:21,000
husband have the the hot the hot muscle

5363
03:05:21,000 --> 03:05:21,480
cars.

5364
03:05:22,160 --> 03:05:25,580
So her husband, Mike, has a 1974 Plymouth

5365
03:05:25,580 --> 03:05:28,800
Cuda, and she owns a 71 Dodge Challenger

5366
03:05:28,800 --> 03:05:29,260
RT.

5367
03:05:29,900 --> 03:05:31,840
Those are pretty collectible.

5368
03:05:31,940 --> 03:05:33,760
Oh, it's they're beautiful.

5369
03:05:33,920 --> 03:05:34,720
She put a picture.

5370
03:05:35,440 --> 03:05:37,920
It's the Cuda in particular.

5371
03:05:38,200 --> 03:05:41,520
Their their website is the Hemi hideout dot

5372
03:05:41,520 --> 03:05:41,940
com.

5373
03:05:43,080 --> 03:05:43,680
And she wants.

5374
03:05:43,960 --> 03:05:46,200
OK, so today is the day it has

5375
03:05:46,200 --> 03:05:47,320
to be before the end of the year.

5376
03:05:47,380 --> 03:05:48,140
Oh, that's right.

5377
03:05:48,700 --> 03:05:52,320
She I think she's I think she's she

5378
03:05:52,320 --> 03:05:53,720
tried to get this to us before the

5379
03:05:53,720 --> 03:05:53,840
end.

5380
03:05:53,920 --> 03:05:55,380
She wanted to be a dame before the

5381
03:05:55,380 --> 03:05:56,140
end of 2025.

5382
03:05:56,540 --> 03:05:58,560
So she'll be a dame for the first

5383
03:05:58,560 --> 03:05:59,060
ones.

5384
03:05:59,340 --> 03:06:01,240
We're going to give her damehood today and

5385
03:06:01,240 --> 03:06:02,280
post date it.

5386
03:06:03,120 --> 03:06:04,920
So we're going to do a Silicon Valley

5387
03:06:04,920 --> 03:06:05,200
does.

5388
03:06:05,260 --> 03:06:06,380
That's what you said earlier.

5389
03:06:06,380 --> 03:06:07,780
We're Silicon Valley guys.

5390
03:06:07,860 --> 03:06:08,940
Post date your options.

5391
03:06:09,540 --> 03:06:11,840
It has put your post dated to yesterday.

5392
03:06:12,460 --> 03:06:14,080
It has to be before the end of

5393
03:06:14,080 --> 03:06:15,460
the year with me now being in the

5394
03:06:15,460 --> 03:06:17,640
bonus round of life, looking forward to so

5395
03:06:17,640 --> 03:06:19,200
many more donations to the show.

5396
03:06:19,360 --> 03:06:20,400
I want to be knighted.

5397
03:06:20,680 --> 03:06:23,940
Damed Dame Mopar of the Fort Bend County,

5398
03:06:24,100 --> 03:06:26,800
Texas, where my husband and I rev our

5399
03:06:26,800 --> 03:06:27,900
engines together.

5400
03:06:28,540 --> 03:06:30,720
And apparently she also sent in send us

5401
03:06:30,720 --> 03:06:33,300
each a box or a bottle of the

5402
03:06:33,300 --> 03:06:36,260
famous mesquite liquid smoke that you like so

5403
03:06:36,260 --> 03:06:36,500
much.

5404
03:06:36,560 --> 03:06:38,040
Did you get liquid smoke in the in

5405
03:06:38,040 --> 03:06:39,220
the in the PO box?

5406
03:06:39,400 --> 03:06:40,940
I got some liquid smoke.

5407
03:06:41,020 --> 03:06:42,340
You know, I'm going to have to tell

5408
03:06:42,340 --> 03:06:43,080
people out there.

5409
03:06:43,720 --> 03:06:46,760
You know, liquid, the cold gin, it looks

5410
03:06:46,760 --> 03:06:47,780
like it's sealed.

5411
03:06:49,440 --> 03:06:51,840
And it looks like it's well sealed, but

5412
03:06:51,840 --> 03:06:52,680
it's not.

5413
03:06:53,920 --> 03:06:56,740
My liquid smoke got all over everything.

5414
03:06:58,660 --> 03:07:00,220
In the PO box?

5415
03:07:00,780 --> 03:07:01,020
Yeah.

5416
03:07:02,420 --> 03:07:05,160
And it's made this the post office smell

5417
03:07:05,160 --> 03:07:06,240
like it was on fire.

5418
03:07:06,400 --> 03:07:07,660
Oh, she sent one to me, too.

5419
03:07:07,860 --> 03:07:09,900
I think Tina went to the PO box.

5420
03:07:09,960 --> 03:07:10,880
I don't know if we have it yet.

5421
03:07:11,440 --> 03:07:12,120
I don't know.

5422
03:07:12,880 --> 03:07:14,200
Just a certain brand.

5423
03:07:14,300 --> 03:07:17,280
Certain things do not get sealed correctly and

5424
03:07:17,920 --> 03:07:19,660
or tight enough or they don't have, I

5425
03:07:19,660 --> 03:07:22,240
don't know, grommets, whatever.

5426
03:07:22,580 --> 03:07:24,040
Well, Cassandra, thank you very much.

5427
03:07:24,140 --> 03:07:26,000
We look forward to daming you.

5428
03:07:26,160 --> 03:07:27,320
And she wants to hit it.

5429
03:07:27,440 --> 03:07:28,000
He's Trump.

5430
03:07:28,060 --> 03:07:28,800
He's Trump, the president.

5431
03:07:28,920 --> 03:07:30,080
Everyone hug and share secret.

5432
03:07:30,240 --> 03:07:31,160
Can you do the hit it?

5433
03:07:32,300 --> 03:07:32,900
Hit it.

5434
03:07:37,580 --> 03:07:42,200
Oh, there's no winning.

5435
03:07:42,200 --> 03:07:45,180
We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere,

5436
03:07:45,180 --> 03:07:46,600
but we laugh a lot.

5437
03:07:46,900 --> 03:07:48,640
Now, everyone hug and share a secret.

5438
03:07:49,880 --> 03:07:51,160
Thank you, Cassandra.

5439
03:07:51,300 --> 03:07:53,060
Robert Anderson is in Austin, Texas.

5440
03:07:53,160 --> 03:07:54,080
Two hundred fifty dollars.

5441
03:07:54,140 --> 03:07:54,580
No note.

5442
03:07:54,720 --> 03:07:56,440
So double up karma for Robert.

5443
03:07:56,560 --> 03:07:59,900
You've got karma.

5444
03:08:00,720 --> 03:08:03,800
And I'll do this for Baron Commodore.

5445
03:08:03,980 --> 03:08:14,660
Ph.D. Guess.

5446
03:08:17,540 --> 03:08:18,420
Two thirty three.

5447
03:08:19,400 --> 03:08:20,880
I am John and I'm to finish off

5448
03:08:20,880 --> 03:08:22,860
the previous four year or more years and

5449
03:08:22,860 --> 03:08:25,080
to start the next four more years cycle.

5450
03:08:25,200 --> 03:08:27,640
May I challenge you to another prediction or

5451
03:08:27,640 --> 03:08:29,280
assumption for the next four years?

5452
03:08:29,680 --> 03:08:32,540
I know assumptions are the mother of all

5453
03:08:32,540 --> 03:08:33,240
fuck ups.

5454
03:08:33,960 --> 03:08:35,140
So for not my word.

5455
03:08:35,520 --> 03:08:38,040
So for now, I'll leave it that as

5456
03:08:38,040 --> 03:08:38,800
it is, whatever.

5457
03:08:39,560 --> 03:08:41,380
Anyways, he spells with three S's.

5458
03:08:41,640 --> 03:08:42,680
Thank you for all your efforts.

5459
03:08:42,840 --> 03:08:43,380
Hard time.

5460
03:08:43,820 --> 03:08:47,820
Time frustration when John has mislabeled his clips

5461
03:08:47,820 --> 03:08:52,880
and ISO's media deconstruction M5M bullshittery.

5462
03:08:53,200 --> 03:08:54,580
A shout out to all the producers.

5463
03:08:54,740 --> 03:08:57,440
No agenda donating nobility and douchebags.

5464
03:08:57,640 --> 03:08:59,240
Donate John's voice.

5465
03:08:59,240 --> 03:09:04,400
And the Gitmo lowlands old country community.

5466
03:09:04,940 --> 03:09:05,380
Finally.

5467
03:09:06,540 --> 03:09:08,180
Also a promo for the no agenda.

5468
03:09:08,400 --> 03:09:11,660
Get Sir Dre of the empty PayPal and

5469
03:09:11,660 --> 03:09:13,380
broken brain out of the house.

5470
03:09:13,500 --> 03:09:15,840
Meet up on Saturday, January 18th.

5471
03:09:17,460 --> 03:09:19,180
And I said Saturday.

5472
03:09:19,500 --> 03:09:19,680
Yeah.

5473
03:09:21,200 --> 03:09:22,900
And it clearly says Sunday.

5474
03:09:23,750 --> 03:09:27,980
January 18th at the the Heron von Bergen

5475
03:09:27,980 --> 03:09:29,340
and doll.

5476
03:09:31,860 --> 03:09:33,180
Connection is protection.

5477
03:09:33,340 --> 03:09:33,840
He continues.

5478
03:09:33,980 --> 03:09:35,000
Thank you for your courage, Sir.

5479
03:09:35,120 --> 03:09:38,280
Baron Commodore, PhD, a goose cadaver.

5480
03:09:38,400 --> 03:09:39,380
He nailed it.

5481
03:09:40,020 --> 03:09:44,080
Baron surfer Shasta Lake, California, 226.

5482
03:09:44,160 --> 03:09:44,700
Happy New Year.

5483
03:09:44,820 --> 03:09:47,340
Crackpot and buzzkill four more years.

5484
03:09:49,850 --> 03:09:51,750
Now somehow this is flipped.

5485
03:09:51,910 --> 03:09:54,030
The scripts flipped and I'm getting long notes.

5486
03:09:54,030 --> 03:09:56,330
I tried to do it for you, but

5487
03:09:56,330 --> 03:09:56,810
you just.

5488
03:09:56,950 --> 03:09:59,850
I was trying to do Sir Baron Commodore,

5489
03:09:59,930 --> 03:10:01,110
PhD, who's could offer.

5490
03:10:01,230 --> 03:10:02,550
But you didn't get my cues.

5491
03:10:03,610 --> 03:10:04,730
I screwed up.

5492
03:10:04,790 --> 03:10:05,350
Yeah, you did.

5493
03:10:05,750 --> 03:10:07,370
Because now I have to read this.

5494
03:10:07,550 --> 03:10:07,990
I'll do it.

5495
03:10:08,030 --> 03:10:08,690
You want me to do it?

5496
03:10:08,990 --> 03:10:10,390
Yeah, that would be great.

5497
03:10:12,290 --> 03:10:16,930
Edwards, Sasha, Sasha, Mechanicsville, Virginia, Sasha.

5498
03:10:17,410 --> 03:10:18,790
Already starts off bad.

5499
03:10:19,110 --> 03:10:19,790
225 guys.

5500
03:10:19,870 --> 03:10:20,930
Thanks for all the good work you do

5501
03:10:20,930 --> 03:10:21,210
today.

5502
03:10:21,610 --> 03:10:22,710
1228 is my birthday.

5503
03:10:22,710 --> 03:10:24,670
1230 is my wife Liz's birthday.

5504
03:10:25,030 --> 03:10:26,030
Please add us to the list.

5505
03:10:26,110 --> 03:10:28,170
Well, of course, it'll be a post the

5506
03:10:28,170 --> 03:10:29,610
birthday, but you're on the list.

5507
03:10:30,010 --> 03:10:31,910
We're in the midst of the Catholic Hanukkah

5508
03:10:31,910 --> 03:10:32,530
celebration.

5509
03:10:32,850 --> 03:10:32,970
What?

5510
03:10:34,270 --> 03:10:36,510
With all the holidays surrounding our birthdays, we

5511
03:10:36,510 --> 03:10:37,030
are Catholic.

5512
03:10:37,170 --> 03:10:39,070
Oh, but are borrowing from the multi-day

5513
03:10:39,070 --> 03:10:40,730
holiday of the Feast of Lights for our

5514
03:10:40,730 --> 03:10:41,730
own week of celebration.

5515
03:10:42,070 --> 03:10:42,990
Please add us to the list.

5516
03:10:43,050 --> 03:10:43,410
You're on it.

5517
03:10:43,830 --> 03:10:45,330
A couple of other scenes show related.

5518
03:10:45,490 --> 03:10:46,710
John, the knife is nice.

5519
03:10:47,150 --> 03:10:48,290
Broke a white tail down.

5520
03:10:48,410 --> 03:10:50,930
I got it yesterday with broke a white

5521
03:10:50,930 --> 03:10:51,110
tail.

5522
03:10:51,810 --> 03:10:53,330
Nice to use a deer.

5523
03:10:53,510 --> 03:10:55,450
You use that knife to cut up a

5524
03:10:55,450 --> 03:10:55,670
deer?

5525
03:10:55,870 --> 03:10:56,390
I guess so.

5526
03:10:56,910 --> 03:10:59,630
Nice to use a higher carbon alloy, better

5527
03:10:59,630 --> 03:11:00,910
than 420 stainless.

5528
03:11:01,630 --> 03:11:04,290
For the gigawatt coffee guy, Eli, I can't

5529
03:11:04,290 --> 03:11:05,930
make that taste bad.

5530
03:11:06,810 --> 03:11:08,630
Normally, I can add twice the grounds and

5531
03:11:08,630 --> 03:11:10,070
get it to be bitter, but I can't

5532
03:11:10,070 --> 03:11:11,610
seem to do it with this with his

5533
03:11:11,610 --> 03:11:11,910
stuff.

5534
03:11:12,270 --> 03:11:13,730
I started to use it to make cold

5535
03:11:13,730 --> 03:11:13,910
brew.

5536
03:11:13,990 --> 03:11:15,030
It excels at that.

5537
03:11:15,210 --> 03:11:17,450
So this is very, very difficult to make

5538
03:11:17,450 --> 03:11:19,110
a gigawatt coffee bitter.

5539
03:11:19,110 --> 03:11:22,350
In Virginia, this is roasting cycle.

5540
03:11:22,790 --> 03:11:23,890
I would say a couple of things.

5541
03:11:24,010 --> 03:11:27,330
One, for one thing, I take another roast.

5542
03:11:27,430 --> 03:11:29,590
I take his roast on a Breville.

5543
03:11:29,730 --> 03:11:31,350
They have a grinding knob.

5544
03:11:31,410 --> 03:11:33,790
You turn to get a certain grind, coarse

5545
03:11:33,790 --> 03:11:34,350
or fine.

5546
03:11:35,190 --> 03:11:37,290
Almost everybody's coffee, you have to set it

5547
03:11:37,290 --> 03:11:40,210
to 25 to get the drip to come

5548
03:11:40,210 --> 03:11:41,190
out at the right time.

5549
03:11:42,370 --> 03:11:45,470
With gigawatt, it's always 35.

5550
03:11:46,070 --> 03:11:46,530
Always.

5551
03:11:47,630 --> 03:11:50,310
Which is a coarser grind to make a

5552
03:11:50,310 --> 03:11:52,610
finer end product.

5553
03:11:52,870 --> 03:11:55,510
So his coffee, so he's doing something with

5554
03:11:55,510 --> 03:11:56,150
his roasting.

5555
03:11:56,710 --> 03:11:59,830
He's got a roasting cycle that's slightly different

5556
03:11:59,830 --> 03:12:00,610
than the mainstream.

5557
03:12:01,350 --> 03:12:01,990
No kidding.

5558
03:12:02,530 --> 03:12:03,090
He's Eli.

5559
03:12:04,430 --> 03:12:07,490
In Virginia, Edward goes on, in Virginia, we

5560
03:12:07,490 --> 03:12:08,410
have the data centers.

5561
03:12:08,530 --> 03:12:09,870
This is a great time to sit back

5562
03:12:09,870 --> 03:12:12,110
and watch the finger pointing as nobody wants

5563
03:12:12,110 --> 03:12:14,550
to take responsibility for getting enough power for

5564
03:12:14,550 --> 03:12:14,690
it.

5565
03:12:14,690 --> 03:12:16,770
We'll see what will happen when our new

5566
03:12:16,770 --> 03:12:19,130
government tries to put her finger in it.

5567
03:12:19,970 --> 03:12:22,110
A governor tries to put her finger in

5568
03:12:22,110 --> 03:12:22,210
it.

5569
03:12:22,510 --> 03:12:23,710
It would be a real win for any

5570
03:12:23,710 --> 03:12:26,030
politician to get off the regulatory horse of

5571
03:12:26,030 --> 03:12:28,930
NIMBY, not in my backyard, and lessen restrictions

5572
03:12:28,930 --> 03:12:30,790
on new power plants for the supply to

5573
03:12:30,790 --> 03:12:31,410
this industry.

5574
03:12:31,590 --> 03:12:33,490
Yeah, because we need more bikinis.

5575
03:12:34,010 --> 03:12:35,910
We can go back to the old cogent

5576
03:12:35,910 --> 03:12:38,270
model of the past where big power users

5577
03:12:38,270 --> 03:12:39,950
had their own generation capacity.

5578
03:12:39,950 --> 03:12:42,890
Lead time in power plants is long due

5579
03:12:42,890 --> 03:12:45,530
to equipment manufacturing, turbines, and transformers.

5580
03:12:45,910 --> 03:12:47,830
Supposedly, you can buy and sell your place

5581
03:12:47,830 --> 03:12:48,410
in line.

5582
03:12:48,890 --> 03:12:50,690
Here's a good article about it, and he

5583
03:12:50,690 --> 03:12:51,210
sends an article.

5584
03:12:51,330 --> 03:12:53,270
Thank you very much, Ed, and you both

5585
03:12:53,270 --> 03:12:54,190
are on the list.

5586
03:12:56,030 --> 03:12:57,910
Yeah, whatever happened to cogent?

5587
03:12:59,750 --> 03:13:02,450
Matthew Martel, there he is in Broomall, Pennsylvania,

5588
03:13:02,670 --> 03:13:05,190
$210.60. Happy New Year.

5589
03:13:05,670 --> 03:13:08,190
I can write a book on customer returns.

5590
03:13:08,750 --> 03:13:09,310
I got it.

5591
03:13:09,370 --> 03:13:10,070
We got a note.

5592
03:13:10,390 --> 03:13:12,710
Did you get the note on customer returns?

5593
03:13:12,710 --> 03:13:16,970
Yeah, some dude, he's like, I object because

5594
03:13:16,970 --> 03:13:18,730
I'm a man, and I order all of

5595
03:13:18,730 --> 03:13:20,830
my blue jeans, and I order many things,

5596
03:13:20,870 --> 03:13:22,350
and I tried them all on, and when

5597
03:13:22,350 --> 03:13:24,210
I get something, I send all the rest

5598
03:13:24,210 --> 03:13:25,030
back.

5599
03:13:25,730 --> 03:13:28,090
He says, I don't have the note in

5600
03:13:28,090 --> 03:13:28,410
front of me.

5601
03:13:28,430 --> 03:13:29,430
I should have printed it out.

5602
03:13:30,090 --> 03:13:33,270
He says that he says what he's saying

5603
03:13:33,270 --> 03:13:35,910
is the quality of the products is so

5604
03:13:35,910 --> 03:13:36,850
piss poor.

5605
03:13:37,030 --> 03:13:37,250
True.

5606
03:13:37,250 --> 03:13:40,430
That he'll order six copies of the exact

5607
03:13:40,430 --> 03:13:44,630
same Wrangler jeans that are exact same size,

5608
03:13:44,790 --> 03:13:47,170
and only one of them fits right, and

5609
03:13:47,170 --> 03:13:48,310
he sends the other five back.

5610
03:13:48,410 --> 03:13:49,250
I confirm this.

5611
03:13:49,290 --> 03:13:50,650
It's the same with Levi's.

5612
03:13:50,750 --> 03:13:53,430
I've had that happen, same size, and one

5613
03:13:53,430 --> 03:13:54,430
comes from Vietnam.

5614
03:13:54,770 --> 03:13:56,690
One comes from Thailand, and they're different.

5615
03:13:56,890 --> 03:13:59,490
They're the same label on the inside, but

5616
03:13:59,490 --> 03:14:02,510
different lengths, because I need long for my

5617
03:14:02,510 --> 03:14:04,070
legs, my long luscious legs.

5618
03:14:04,770 --> 03:14:08,490
Um, three different times in between the last

5619
03:14:08,490 --> 03:14:10,870
show and this show, I heard people saying,

5620
03:14:10,950 --> 03:14:13,170
I don't order from Amazon.

5621
03:14:14,150 --> 03:14:16,390
Like, oh, I'm going to order that product,

5622
03:14:16,490 --> 03:14:18,130
and it's like, I forget what the products

5623
03:14:18,130 --> 03:14:18,310
were.

5624
03:14:18,590 --> 03:14:20,030
I'm not ordering on Amazon.

5625
03:14:20,210 --> 03:14:20,650
Why not?

5626
03:14:20,730 --> 03:14:23,730
Because it's usually cheap knockoff junk from China.

5627
03:14:24,090 --> 03:14:26,690
I'd rather go to the website of the

5628
03:14:26,690 --> 03:14:27,950
vendor themselves.

5629
03:14:28,110 --> 03:14:30,730
Same price, but I'd rather get it from

5630
03:14:30,730 --> 03:14:32,630
them because I hate getting all the cheap

5631
03:14:32,630 --> 03:14:34,090
knockoff junk from China.

5632
03:14:34,550 --> 03:14:35,690
Three different people.

5633
03:14:38,050 --> 03:14:39,150
There's a trend.

5634
03:14:39,250 --> 03:14:40,030
There's a trend here.

5635
03:14:40,590 --> 03:14:41,390
Something's up.

5636
03:14:41,710 --> 03:14:41,990
Yes.

5637
03:14:42,350 --> 03:14:42,630
Anyway.

5638
03:14:42,730 --> 03:14:44,630
Anyway, he says, I could write a book

5639
03:14:44,630 --> 03:14:47,870
on customer returns, refunds, and what I'd prefer

5640
03:14:47,870 --> 03:14:48,950
to do with them.

5641
03:14:49,490 --> 03:14:50,630
You get the picture?

5642
03:14:50,870 --> 03:14:54,530
Should I use a Sara for sans Sara

5643
03:14:54,530 --> 03:14:55,070
fond?

5644
03:14:55,210 --> 03:14:57,470
Visit martelhardware.com.

5645
03:14:57,870 --> 03:15:02,910

% off your order.

5647
03:15:04,550 --> 03:15:06,250
And he liked the Hot Pockets jingle.

5648
03:15:07,050 --> 03:15:08,030
Hot Pockets.

5649
03:15:09,010 --> 03:15:10,070
All right, Matthew.

5650
03:15:10,670 --> 03:15:12,270
Stefan, Stefan.

5651
03:15:12,530 --> 03:15:13,310
I think it's Stefan.

5652
03:15:13,550 --> 03:15:14,290
Stefan Anders.

5653
03:15:14,490 --> 03:15:16,370
Yes, Stefan Anders in München, Deutschland.

5654
03:15:16,510 --> 03:15:17,150
Hello, Deutschland.

5655
03:15:17,310 --> 03:15:17,790
Here's the Hoff.

5656
03:15:18,610 --> 03:15:20,990
20260 sounds like something plus fees, no notes.

5657
03:15:21,090 --> 03:15:22,330
So we'll give him a double up karma

5658
03:15:22,330 --> 03:15:22,690
today.

5659
03:15:22,930 --> 03:15:26,190
You've got karma.

5660
03:15:28,810 --> 03:15:31,170
Sarcastic and why oh missing.

5661
03:15:31,170 --> 03:15:35,790
While missing Pennsylvania 20260 same amount.

5662
03:15:36,090 --> 03:15:37,510
Happy new year's donation.

5663
03:15:37,730 --> 03:15:40,710
Jobs, karma for my children and shout out

5664
03:15:40,710 --> 03:15:44,370
to the Ed's Tavern crew.

5665

03:15:50,730 --> 03:15:52,210
Let's vote for jobs.

5668
03:15:52,830 --> 03:15:53,510
Karma.

5669
03:15:54,710 --> 03:15:56,690
And we have a familiar name coming in

5670
03:15:56,690 --> 03:15:57,210
with $200.

5671
03:15:57,630 --> 03:15:59,030
It's Sarah, the web babe.

5672
03:15:59,030 --> 03:16:01,410
And she says ITM and happy new year.

5673
03:16:01,590 --> 03:16:03,670
While you two have been touting your unaffiliated

5674
03:16:03,670 --> 03:16:05,750
bona fides or bona fides.

5675

03:16:10,350 --> 03:16:11,090

Big resume, big suburban mail order coffee and

03:16:15,190 --> 03:16:16,150
big boob.

5680
03:16:16,330 --> 03:16:16,970
That's right.

5681
03:16:17,050 --> 03:16:17,790
We're sellouts.

5682
03:16:18,330 --> 03:16:19,410

Kevin McLaughlin.

5685
03:16:26,750 --> 03:16:27,290
Right, right.

5686
03:16:27,370 --> 03:16:27,610
Obviously.

5687
03:16:27,810 --> 03:16:28,370
Big resume.

5691

Hello.

03:19:00,170 --> 03:19:02,070
He is the Archduke of Luna and lover

5759
03:19:02,070 --> 03:19:03,190
of America and boobs.

5760
03:19:03,690 --> 03:19:05,970
Jason Shepard, Trinidad, Colorado.

5761
03:19:06,430 --> 03:19:09,430
He comes in with lopsided boobs, 8006.

5762
03:19:10,010 --> 03:19:15,690
Martin Tsagrinos, Las Vegas, Nevada, $77.77, which

5763
03:19:15,690 --> 03:19:17,870
is usually $69.69 plus fees.

5764
03:19:18,430 --> 03:19:20,410
Dame Dana Carroll, Laughlin, Nevada.

5765
03:19:20,410 --> 03:19:24,310
Nevada, you should meet each other, $72.27.

5766
03:19:24,550 --> 03:19:25,430
Nice palindrome.

5767
03:19:28,150 --> 03:19:30,650
Zwillingswolke, Wachterbach, from Deutschland.

5768
03:19:31,710 --> 03:19:33,750
That sounds like a town more than a

5769
03:19:33,750 --> 03:19:34,090
person.

5770
03:19:34,450 --> 03:19:36,710
$67, coming from the euros.

5771
03:19:36,830 --> 03:19:37,670
We appreciate that.

5772
03:19:38,150 --> 03:19:40,450
Sir 8-Bit Ben is in Evansville, Indiana,

5773
03:19:40,730 --> 03:19:42,590
and he becomes a knight today.

5774
03:19:43,390 --> 03:19:45,890
And he says, John Adams, Sir 8-Bit

5775
03:19:45,890 --> 03:19:48,050
Ben, a.k.a. Commodore Vic-20 today.

5776
03:19:48,130 --> 03:19:49,090
So he's already a Commodore.

5777
03:19:49,830 --> 03:19:50,630
Title change.

5778
03:19:50,730 --> 03:19:53,750
My monthly layaway plan of the famous 6502

5779
03:19:53,750 --> 03:19:56,710
chip donation has paid off, and I would

5780
03:19:56,710 --> 03:19:58,270
like to claim my baron status.

5781
03:19:58,750 --> 03:20:00,910
I would request approval from the Peerage Committee

5782
03:20:00,910 --> 03:20:03,590
to claim the realm of retrocomputer systems.

5783
03:20:04,250 --> 03:20:04,970
Is that approved?

5784
03:20:05,870 --> 03:20:06,730
Oh, absolutely.

5785
03:20:07,230 --> 03:20:08,750
Also, can I get some jobs?

5786
03:20:08,850 --> 03:20:11,150
Karma turns out that the market for 50

5787
03:20:11,150 --> 03:20:14,270
-plus-year-old enterprise infrastructure leaders is pretty

5788
03:20:14,270 --> 03:20:14,930
tough right now.

5789
03:20:15,010 --> 03:20:15,390
What?

5790
03:20:16,130 --> 03:20:17,470
COBOL is hard?

5791
03:20:18,110 --> 03:20:21,010
Hmm, I think— It's H-1Bs that's a

5792
03:20:21,010 --> 03:20:21,370
problem.

5793
03:20:21,550 --> 03:20:21,890
Yes.

5794
03:20:22,530 --> 03:20:23,710
I think some— Duh.

5795
03:20:24,330 --> 03:20:25,950
The fat JD's all for it.

5796
03:20:26,470 --> 03:20:27,970
I think some karma could help me out.

5797
03:20:28,050 --> 03:20:30,630
Thank you, Craig, Sir 8-Bit Ben.

5798
03:20:30,710 --> 03:20:32,150
Yes, we'll get the jobs karma here for

5799
03:20:32,150 --> 03:20:32,290
you.

5800
03:20:32,430 --> 03:20:35,610
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

5801
03:20:35,830 --> 03:20:37,350
Let's vote for jobs.

5802
03:20:37,590 --> 03:20:38,110
Yeah!

5803
03:20:40,910 --> 03:20:43,830
$63.31 from Sir Waldo Chicken Caesar.

5804
03:20:43,830 --> 03:20:48,090
It's a switcheroo for Joe Irachi, or Irace,

5805
03:20:48,210 --> 03:20:48,390
I think.

5806
03:20:48,510 --> 03:20:49,830
Irachi of Scarborough, Maine.

5807
03:20:50,270 --> 03:20:51,590
Also, please add him to the birthday list

5808
03:20:51,590 --> 03:20:52,470
for January 3rd.

5809
03:20:52,490 --> 03:20:53,070
He's on it.

03:20:53,210 --> 03:20:55,230

03:20:56,410 --> 03:20:56,890

03:21:33,130 --> 03:21:34,170
These are the 50s we're at.

5828
03:21:34,250 --> 03:21:37,250
Now, Joshua Johnson, Omaha, Nebraska.

5829

$50 chipping in, he says.

03:22:15,550 --> 03:22:22,110
And Eric Sinkmajor in Yale, Michigan wraps it

5843
03:22:22,110 --> 03:22:24,610
up as our final $50 donor for this

5844
03:22:24,610 --> 03:22:26,810
very first episode of the No Agenda Show

5845
03:22:26,810 --> 03:22:28,110
for 2026.

5846
03:22:28,570 --> 03:22:29,530
Thank you all so much.

5847
03:22:29,570 --> 03:22:30,410
We appreciate that.

5848
03:22:30,450 --> 03:22:31,450
It is value for value.

5849
03:22:31,590 --> 03:22:33,750
So we accept any kind of value that

5850
03:22:33,750 --> 03:22:34,850
you can deliver to us.

5851
03:22:34,910 --> 03:22:36,870
We really do appreciate the monetary support.

5852
03:22:36,870 --> 03:22:39,450
We do not thank anyone under $50 for

5853
03:22:39,450 --> 03:22:41,630
reasons of anonymity, but we always see you

5854
03:22:41,630 --> 03:22:44,050
with your $49.99 and all the other

5855
03:22:44,050 --> 03:22:45,870
numbers which you can set up as a

5856
03:22:45,870 --> 03:22:49,050
very simple recurring donation if you want to.

5857
03:22:49,250 --> 03:22:53,710
Go to noagendadonations.com and set it up

5858
03:22:53,710 --> 03:22:54,930
any time, any frequency.

5859
03:22:55,090 --> 03:22:55,750
It's all up to you.

5860
03:22:56,550 --> 03:22:57,510
Noagendadonations.com.

5861
03:23:02,950 --> 03:23:06,650
So we have Edward Saja, who celebrated on

5862
03:23:06,650 --> 03:23:08,750
the 28th, and he wishes his wife, Liz,

5863
03:23:08,830 --> 03:23:09,730
a very happy birthday.

5864
03:23:09,830 --> 03:23:11,310
She celebrated on the 30th.

5865
03:23:11,690 --> 03:23:14,610
And Sir Waldo Chicken Caesar wishes Joe Arachi

5866
03:23:14,610 --> 03:23:17,210

5867

He'll be celebrating on the 3rd.

03:23:18,890 --> 03:23:20,730
And we say happy birthday here from everybody,

5869
03:23:20,830 --> 03:23:22,650
the best podcast in the universe.

5870
03:23:33,030 --> 03:23:36,410
And there he is with his $65.02

5871
03:23:36,410 --> 03:23:38,650
long-term donation.

5872
03:23:38,870 --> 03:23:40,210
Sir 8-Bit Ben does it.

5873
03:23:40,490 --> 03:23:42,350
He moves up the peerage ladder and moves

5874
03:23:42,350 --> 03:23:43,450
up to Barron.

5875
03:23:43,570 --> 03:23:45,790
And we congratulate him for that brand new

5876
03:23:45,790 --> 03:23:46,170
peerage.

5877
03:23:46,210 --> 03:23:47,590
And thank you very much for your long

5878
03:23:47,590 --> 03:23:49,650
-term support of the best podcast in the

5879
03:23:49,650 --> 03:23:49,910
universe.

5880
03:23:50,110 --> 03:23:52,570
Now we have a number of No Agenda

5881
03:23:52,570 --> 03:23:55,050
International Peace Prize winners.

5882
03:23:55,050 --> 03:23:58,630
We're very happy to announce the following as

03:23:58,630 --> 03:24:02,230

.com.

5888
03:24:12,630 --> 03:24:13,110
This is it.

5889
03:24:13,310 --> 03:24:14,210
It's the last time.

5890
03:24:14,530 --> 03:24:15,430
You're the last ones.

5891
03:24:15,530 --> 03:24:17,050
There's no more peace after this.

5892
03:24:17,330 --> 03:24:18,430
Certainly no peace prize.

5893
03:24:18,910 --> 03:24:20,550
And let us know what name you'd like

5894
03:24:20,550 --> 03:24:21,950
on it and where you'd like us to

5895
03:24:21,950 --> 03:24:22,590
send it to.

5896
03:24:22,590 --> 03:24:25,130
That is noagenderings.com.

5897
03:24:25,190 --> 03:24:28,030
We do have a couple of knights.

5898
03:24:28,130 --> 03:24:32,650
A layaway knight, Chris Bartel, who says, Gents,

5899
03:24:32,690 --> 03:24:35,210
with my $33.33 monthly donation since May

5900
03:24:35,210 --> 03:24:38,290
of 2023, this hereby grants me knighthood of

5901
03:24:38,290 --> 03:24:39,690
the best podcast in the universe.

5902
03:24:39,810 --> 03:24:42,690
Please knight me, Sir Thunder Thighs, knight of

5903
03:24:42,690 --> 03:24:43,790
the PCT.

5904
03:24:44,230 --> 03:24:47,410
That's Pacific Crest Trail for you lowlanders and

5905
03:24:47,410 --> 03:24:48,510
bark-a-loungers.

5906
03:24:48,510 --> 03:24:52,010
For the roundtable, he requests a double IPA.

5907
03:24:52,510 --> 03:24:55,570
Huge shout out to my brother, Ben, who

5908
03:24:55,570 --> 03:24:57,030
hit me in the mouth during COVID.

5909
03:24:57,710 --> 03:25:00,830
Thank you, gents, for your continued service of

5910
03:25:00,830 --> 03:25:01,190
sanity.

5911
03:25:01,310 --> 03:25:02,490
New Year's blessings to you.

5912
03:25:02,750 --> 03:25:05,130
No jingles, just karma for old Lang Zyne.

5913
03:25:05,790 --> 03:25:09,630
And we have another layaway knight from David

5914
03:25:09,630 --> 03:25:10,410
Winchester.

5915
03:25:10,890 --> 03:25:12,010
Oh, it's for David Winchester.

5916
03:25:12,390 --> 03:25:14,570
My husband reached the knighthood level of donations

5917
03:25:14,570 --> 03:25:15,830
made through PayPal.

5918
03:25:15,830 --> 03:25:17,730
I have attached a spreadsheet, which includes his

5919
03:25:17,730 --> 03:25:18,710
name and call-outs.

5920
03:25:19,090 --> 03:25:20,250
He would like to be known as Knight

5921
03:25:20,250 --> 03:25:22,510
of the Risen Loaf and wants the original

5922
03:25:22,510 --> 03:25:25,450
Jobs and the original Bomb Them jingle.

5923
03:25:25,630 --> 03:25:27,810
Oh, I didn't have the Bomb Them jingle.

5924
03:25:28,030 --> 03:25:29,150
But first we have to do...

5925
03:25:30,550 --> 03:25:31,390
Let me see.

5926
03:25:31,550 --> 03:25:33,090
Do we have to do anything with the...

5927
03:25:33,090 --> 03:25:35,410
Oh, karma for this first knight.

5928
03:25:35,510 --> 03:25:36,530
So we'll give him that.

5929
03:25:38,450 --> 03:25:40,010
You've got karma.

5930
03:25:41,790 --> 03:25:44,630
And then what did his wife want here?

5931
03:25:45,190 --> 03:25:48,670
A Jobs, original Jobs and Bomb Them.

5932
03:25:48,830 --> 03:25:49,750
Let me get the Bomb Them.

5933
03:25:49,910 --> 03:25:53,660
I've got them here somewhere.

5934
03:25:54,440 --> 03:25:55,340
It's a lot of...

5935
03:25:55,720 --> 03:25:59,020
There's a lot of administration to do here.

5936
03:25:59,500 --> 03:26:02,580
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Jobs.

5937
03:26:02,700 --> 03:26:04,220
Let's vote for Jobs.

5938
03:26:06,140 --> 03:26:06,480
Karma.

5939
03:26:07,240 --> 03:26:10,960
Bomb them and bomb them again.

5940
03:26:10,960 --> 03:26:12,280
There you go.

5941
03:26:12,420 --> 03:26:12,760
All right.

5942
03:26:12,840 --> 03:26:15,740
Do you remember when Pelosi...

5943
03:26:15,740 --> 03:26:17,540
What she was talking about when she said

5944
03:26:17,540 --> 03:26:18,520
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs?

5945
03:26:19,220 --> 03:26:20,360
Let's vote for Jobs.

5946
03:26:20,500 --> 03:26:20,820
It was...

5947
03:26:22,900 --> 03:26:24,100
What bill was it?

5948
03:26:25,520 --> 03:26:26,600
I don't remember.

5949
03:26:26,720 --> 03:26:26,920
Do you?

5950
03:26:27,260 --> 03:26:28,320
Cap and Trade.

5951
03:26:28,620 --> 03:26:30,180
Is it that long ago?

5952
03:26:30,760 --> 03:26:31,100
Yep.

5953
03:26:31,360 --> 03:26:31,920
Wow.

5954
03:26:32,500 --> 03:26:33,480
That's pathetic.

5955
03:26:34,920 --> 03:26:35,840
No kidding.

5956
03:26:37,120 --> 03:26:38,240
All right.

5957
03:26:38,240 --> 03:26:40,360
They had that Texan guy come out and

5958
03:26:40,360 --> 03:26:41,720
called it Crap and Trade.

5959
03:26:41,980 --> 03:26:43,800
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

5960
03:26:43,840 --> 03:26:44,480
I remember that.

5961
03:26:45,320 --> 03:26:47,400
And we still call it Crap and Trade.

5962
03:26:47,800 --> 03:26:48,060
All right.

5963
03:26:48,100 --> 03:26:48,940
Give me your blade, man.

5964
03:26:49,080 --> 03:26:51,860
We got to take care of these people.

5965
03:26:52,080 --> 03:26:52,260
All right.

5966
03:26:52,340 --> 03:26:53,520
Please step forward.

5967
03:26:55,040 --> 03:26:58,700
Sir Shug, Smoking Hot Wife, Cassandra Fair, Chris

5968
03:26:58,700 --> 03:27:01,700
Bartel, David Winchester and Jermaine Siege.

5969
03:27:01,960 --> 03:27:05,040
All of you have reached the coveted amount

5970
03:27:05,040 --> 03:27:06,920
of $1,000 or more by yourself or

5971
03:27:06,920 --> 03:27:07,980
by someone else's hand.

5972
03:27:07,980 --> 03:27:10,020
And I'm therefore very proud to pronunciate thee

5973
03:27:10,020 --> 03:27:14,160

5982
03:27:34,800 --> 03:27:35,060
Wow.

5983
03:27:35,440 --> 03:27:35,800
That was...

5984
03:27:35,800 --> 03:27:37,040
There was so much going on.

5985
03:27:37,100 --> 03:27:37,620
Mutton and Meat.

5986
03:27:37,620 --> 03:27:40,340
All of you, head over to NoAgendaRings.com.

5987
03:27:40,480 --> 03:27:42,140
Go take a look at those beautiful No

5988
03:27:42,140 --> 03:27:43,920
Agenda Knight and Dame rings.

5989
03:27:44,040 --> 03:27:45,520
You will be in possession of that as

5990
03:27:45,520 --> 03:27:47,120
soon as you give us your ring size.

5991
03:27:47,420 --> 03:27:49,560
There's a ring sizing guide on the website.

5992
03:27:50,000 --> 03:27:53,240
Of course, it comes with a couple sticks

5993
03:27:53,240 --> 03:27:55,300
of wax for you to seal your important

5994
03:27:55,300 --> 03:27:58,040
correspondence with, as well as a certificate of

5995
03:27:58,040 --> 03:27:58,540
authenticity.

5996
03:27:58,840 --> 03:27:59,460
And congratulations.

5997
03:28:00,120 --> 03:28:02,040
Welcome to the No Agenda Roundtable of the

5998
03:28:02,040 --> 03:28:02,800
Knights and Dames.

5999
03:28:02,800 --> 03:28:05,980
It's No Agenda Meetups.

6000
03:28:09,220 --> 03:28:11,160
Yeah, baby, the No Agenda Meetups.

6001
03:28:11,260 --> 03:28:13,800
We still have one set for this month.

6002
03:28:13,940 --> 03:28:14,940
Well, let me see.

6003
03:28:15,240 --> 03:28:16,860
We have a couple actually set for this

6004
03:28:16,860 --> 03:28:17,040
month.

6005
03:28:17,120 --> 03:28:19,720
But first, we have to play the post

6006
03:28:19,720 --> 03:28:22,880
-Christmas Navidad meetup from the Fort Wayne Club

6007
03:28:22,880 --> 03:28:23,440
33.

6008
03:28:23,800 --> 03:28:25,680
He had a short little meetup report.

6009
03:28:26,180 --> 03:28:27,980
Adam and John, this is Shannon, co-hosting

6010
03:28:27,980 --> 03:28:28,420
Fort Wayne.

6011
03:28:28,560 --> 03:28:29,240
Had a good turnout.

6012
03:28:29,240 --> 03:28:31,840
And I heard those drones in New Jersey

6013
03:28:31,840 --> 03:28:32,940
are owned by the Elohim.

6014
03:28:33,040 --> 03:28:34,060
And they had a bumper sticker that said,

6015
03:28:34,200 --> 03:28:36,260
No Agenda is the best podcast in the

6016
03:28:36,260 --> 03:28:36,500
universe.

6017
03:28:36,720 --> 03:28:38,700
Dame Trinity in Fort Wayne this time.

6018
03:28:38,780 --> 03:28:40,000
Having a great time, as always.

6019
03:28:40,340 --> 03:28:41,140
Thank you for your courage.

6020
03:28:41,760 --> 03:28:42,580
Hi, it's Shelly.

6021
03:28:43,120 --> 03:28:43,780
Merry Christmas.

6022
03:28:44,360 --> 03:28:45,120
This is Jared.

6023
03:28:45,420 --> 03:28:46,660
Happy New Year's.

6024
03:28:46,720 --> 03:28:47,780
It's Mike in the morning.

6025
03:28:48,040 --> 03:28:50,040
All right, Tri-State No Agenda Meetup.

6026
03:28:50,140 --> 03:28:53,380
This is from December 25th.

6027
03:28:53,700 --> 03:28:55,460
Hey, this is Craig Kohler, Sir 8-Bit

6028
03:28:55,460 --> 03:28:59,000
Ben at the Tri-State Formula Propagation Meetup

6029
03:28:59,000 --> 03:29:00,120
1.0 is what we called it, right?

6030
03:29:00,620 --> 03:29:02,260
Happy New Year, John and Adam.

6031
03:29:02,460 --> 03:29:03,580
Thank you for your courage.

6032
03:29:03,860 --> 03:29:08,060
This is Ryan, the lowly squire of the

6033
03:29:08,060 --> 03:29:10,000
West Marshes in the morning.

6034
03:29:10,340 --> 03:29:13,140
This is Isaac Turner and fellow listeners.

6035
03:29:13,460 --> 03:29:14,340
Shut up, slaves.

6036
03:29:14,800 --> 03:29:17,380
This is Chris Turner in the morning, John.

6037
03:29:17,820 --> 03:29:20,580
This is Tara Turner in the morning.

This is Christina Heck.

6039
03:29:23,920 --> 03:29:24,560
Hi, Adam.

6040
03:29:24,860 --> 03:29:25,660
This is Angie.

6041
03:29:25,840 --> 03:29:26,460
Happy to be here.

6042
03:29:26,460 --> 03:29:28,100
This is Seth.

6043
03:29:28,400 --> 03:29:29,540
Happy New Year, everyone.

6044
03:29:29,900 --> 03:29:31,520
John, skip the vinegar book.

6045
03:29:31,640 --> 03:29:33,720
I want to tell all on tech TV.

6046
03:29:34,160 --> 03:29:35,320
So I just want to let you know,

6047
03:29:35,400 --> 03:29:37,360
John and Adam, we had the best waiter

6048
03:29:37,360 --> 03:29:38,820
here, Joseph St-Josean.

6049
03:29:38,900 --> 03:29:39,200
Hello.

6050
03:29:39,520 --> 03:29:40,520
What do you think about the podcast?

6051
03:29:40,600 --> 03:29:41,420
We tried to explain it to you.

6052
03:29:41,680 --> 03:29:43,160
I think it's really interesting and I want

6053
03:29:43,160 --> 03:29:43,600
to hear it.

6054
03:29:43,700 --> 03:29:44,160
Thank you.

6055
03:29:46,000 --> 03:29:47,780
Well, that's one way of doing it.

6056
03:29:48,020 --> 03:29:48,840
That's even better.

6057
03:29:49,040 --> 03:29:49,960
I like it a lot.

6058
03:29:50,060 --> 03:29:51,420
Yeah, hit him in the mouth right then

6059
03:29:51,420 --> 03:29:51,800
and there.

6060
03:29:52,120 --> 03:29:53,880
There is a meetup coming up this Saturday.

6061
03:29:53,880 --> 03:29:56,600

6062
03:29:57,140 --> 03:30:01,780

You can get tickets at noagendashow.net.

6069
03:30:18,640 --> 03:30:19,300
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.

6070
03:30:19,400 --> 03:30:20,760
I thought it was one of those comedian

6071
03:30:20,760 --> 03:30:21,940
podcasters for a moment.

6072
03:30:22,220 --> 03:30:23,720
No, there's no tickets required.

6073
03:30:23,720 --> 03:30:25,200
These are meetups that you can go to

6074
03:30:25,200 --> 03:30:25,720
for free.

6075
03:30:26,200 --> 03:30:27,220
Everyone always does that.

6076
03:30:27,580 --> 03:30:30,160
We'll be appearing at Raleigh, North Carolina at

6077
03:30:30,160 --> 03:30:30,660
Chuggles.

6078
03:30:31,000 --> 03:30:33,440
We'll be in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at...

6079
03:30:33,440 --> 03:30:34,940
Give me another bad comedy name.

6080
03:30:35,060 --> 03:30:35,640
Yuck Yucks.

6081
03:30:35,740 --> 03:30:36,300
The Yuck Yucks.

6082
03:30:36,400 --> 03:30:38,840
And we'll be doing our patented prop comedy

6083
03:30:38,840 --> 03:30:41,260
in Charlotte, North Carolina on January 15th.

6084
03:30:41,340 --> 03:30:42,540
Tickets available at the website.

6085
03:30:43,300 --> 03:30:44,320
No, at the Armory.

6086
03:30:45,780 --> 03:30:48,080
These are just no agenda meetups.

6087
03:30:48,260 --> 03:30:49,660
And when I say just, that means there's

6088
03:30:49,660 --> 03:30:50,540
no admission.

6089
03:30:51,000 --> 03:30:52,340
You just come on in, you hang out

6090
03:30:52,340 --> 03:30:53,620
with people who listen to the show.

6091
03:30:53,620 --> 03:30:55,260
You meet children from other lands.

6092
03:30:55,560 --> 03:30:57,520
You will make connection that gives you protection.

6093
03:30:57,740 --> 03:31:00,080
All of these people will immediately be your

6094
03:31:00,080 --> 03:31:01,700
first responders in an emergency.

6095
03:31:01,900 --> 03:31:03,360
Go to noagendameetups.com.

6096
03:31:03,500 --> 03:31:05,380
That's where you can search by date, by

6097
03:31:05,380 --> 03:31:05,860
location.

6098
03:31:06,060 --> 03:31:08,260
And if you can't find one near you,

6099
03:31:08,440 --> 03:31:09,660
you can start one yourself.

6100
03:31:09,800 --> 03:31:11,820
It's all free and it's very easy to

6101
03:31:11,820 --> 03:31:11,980
do.

6102
03:31:12,500 --> 03:31:13,420
Noagendameetups.com.

6103
03:31:25,460 --> 03:31:28,880
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.

6104
03:31:31,200 --> 03:31:32,680
It's like a party.

6105
03:31:35,060 --> 03:31:36,320
Uh, wow, man.

6106
03:31:36,400 --> 03:31:37,800
Then we have our end of show.

6107
03:31:38,060 --> 03:31:39,240
I only have one today.

6108
03:31:39,340 --> 03:31:40,840
I don't think it's that good.

6109
03:31:40,940 --> 03:31:42,920
It seems like you've got a lock.

6110
03:31:43,020 --> 03:31:45,120
You've got five of them, something like that.

6111
03:31:45,440 --> 03:31:46,580
So three, four.

6112
03:31:46,760 --> 03:31:47,220
Here's mine.

6113
03:31:47,340 --> 03:31:48,120
All reality.

6114
03:31:48,380 --> 03:31:49,280
None of it's scripted.

6115
03:31:49,680 --> 03:31:51,100
Yeah, I don't like it.

6116
03:31:51,300 --> 03:31:52,140
I don't think it's all right.

6117
03:31:52,140 --> 03:31:53,880
Okay, well, I'm mixing, mixing, matching.

6118
03:31:54,020 --> 03:31:54,960
I got some real ones.

6119
03:31:55,120 --> 03:31:55,880
Okay.

6120
03:31:56,480 --> 03:31:57,940
Which I'm sure you'll appreciate.

6121
03:31:58,240 --> 03:31:58,440
Yes.

6122
03:31:58,660 --> 03:31:59,560
At least try.

6123
03:31:59,760 --> 03:32:00,500
I always do.

6124
03:32:01,380 --> 03:32:03,000
How about, uh, let's see.

6125
03:32:03,100 --> 03:32:06,660
We've got, uh, uh, incredible.

6126
03:32:08,940 --> 03:32:09,420
Incredible.

6127
03:32:09,980 --> 03:32:10,860
Little short.

6128
03:32:11,220 --> 03:32:11,700
Not bad.

6129
03:32:11,840 --> 03:32:12,620
Do you think a little short?

6130
03:32:12,720 --> 03:32:13,100
Little short.

6131
03:32:14,260 --> 03:32:14,740
Okay.

6132
03:32:14,920 --> 03:32:17,660
How about, uh, I'm trying to think what

6133
03:32:17,660 --> 03:32:18,560
the other real one is.

6134
03:32:18,640 --> 03:32:19,100
Try.

6135
03:32:19,400 --> 03:32:20,920
Okay, let's just go from the top to

6136
03:32:20,920 --> 03:32:21,160
the bottom.

6137
03:32:21,700 --> 03:32:22,180
2026.

6138
03:32:22,420 --> 03:32:23,000
Great show.

6139
03:32:23,260 --> 03:32:24,300
Happy 2026.

6140
03:32:25,680 --> 03:32:26,040
Usable.

6141
03:32:28,020 --> 03:32:28,120
Fab.

6142
03:32:28,380 --> 03:32:29,420
What a fab way to start the new

6143
03:32:29,420 --> 03:32:29,620
year.

6144
03:32:30,140 --> 03:32:30,620
Thanks, boys.

6145
03:32:32,880 --> 03:32:33,600
It's condescending.

6146
03:32:37,460 --> 03:32:37,820
What?

6147
03:32:38,380 --> 03:32:40,320
Yeah, I found them to be very condescending.

6148
03:32:40,440 --> 03:32:41,580
What a great way to start the new

6149
03:32:41,580 --> 03:32:41,740
year.

6150
03:32:41,840 --> 03:32:42,100
Thank you.

6151
03:32:42,300 --> 03:32:43,320
What a fab way to start the new

6152
03:32:43,320 --> 03:32:43,520
year.

6153
03:32:44,000 --> 03:32:44,500
Thanks, boys.

6154
03:32:46,240 --> 03:32:46,960
No, condescending.

6155
03:32:47,160 --> 03:32:47,320
Sex.

6156
03:32:47,380 --> 03:32:48,220
I don't like her.

6157
03:32:49,220 --> 03:32:50,940
That show was better than sex.

6158
03:32:50,940 --> 03:32:52,020
Okay, now you're talking.

6159
03:32:52,300 --> 03:32:52,960
Now you're talking.

6160
03:32:53,220 --> 03:32:54,760
But the mm was pretty pathetic.

6161
03:32:55,120 --> 03:32:55,520
Mm.

6162
03:32:56,720 --> 03:32:57,700
Like, really?

6163
03:32:57,940 --> 03:32:59,600
That's her, like, mm is better than sex.

6164
03:32:59,660 --> 03:33:01,880
Mm, mm, better than sex.

6165
03:33:02,280 --> 03:33:02,480
Mm.

6166
03:33:03,960 --> 03:33:05,740
That show was better than sex.

6167
03:33:05,840 --> 03:33:06,800
I'll just start it there.

6168
03:33:06,880 --> 03:33:08,240
If I just start it there.

6169
03:33:08,300 --> 03:33:09,600
I like the mm in there.

6170
03:33:09,620 --> 03:33:11,400
I think you're wrong about this.

6171
03:33:11,440 --> 03:33:12,060
You're wrong.

6172
03:33:12,180 --> 03:33:12,660
All right.

6173
03:33:12,780 --> 03:33:13,920
And then what's your last one?

6174
03:33:14,600 --> 03:33:15,920
That was the last one, wasn't it?

6175
03:33:15,920 --> 03:33:16,920
No, you have weird.

6176
03:33:17,880 --> 03:33:18,420
Oh, okay.

6177
03:33:18,460 --> 03:33:19,240
There's a weird.

6178
03:33:19,480 --> 03:33:19,960
It's weird.

6179
03:33:20,120 --> 03:33:20,720
It's weird.

6180
03:33:20,860 --> 03:33:21,540
It's bizarre.

6181
03:33:21,660 --> 03:33:22,600
It's not normal.

6182
03:33:23,000 --> 03:33:23,900
No, I think we'll do.

6183
03:33:24,540 --> 03:33:26,200
That show was better than sex.

6184
03:33:26,200 --> 03:33:27,360
I really don't like them.

6185
03:33:29,300 --> 03:33:32,860
Did you prompt it and say, sexy girl?

6186
03:33:34,160 --> 03:33:37,620
No, I wrote it out.

6187
03:33:39,980 --> 03:33:41,500
All right, everybody.

6188
03:33:41,700 --> 03:33:43,400
It's time for the very first tip of

6189
03:33:43,400 --> 03:33:44,860
the day for 2026.

6190
03:33:54,960 --> 03:33:56,640
Okay, so this brings me to, this has

6191
03:33:56,640 --> 03:33:58,840
actually been discussed on the show before.

6192
03:33:58,980 --> 03:34:00,640
It's not an official tip, but it is

6193
03:34:00,640 --> 03:34:01,040
now.

6194
03:34:02,140 --> 03:34:05,880
Philip J Corso's book, The Day After Roswell.

6195
03:34:06,420 --> 03:34:06,740
Yeah.

6196
03:34:07,000 --> 03:34:08,300
Hasn't this been a tip of the day

6197
03:34:08,300 --> 03:34:08,640
before?

6198
03:34:09,160 --> 03:34:10,440
No, it's never been a tip of the

6199
03:34:10,440 --> 03:34:11,620
day, but it's been discussed.

6200
03:34:13,620 --> 03:34:15,500
And the reason I bring it in is

6201
03:34:15,500 --> 03:34:16,140
to look it up.

6202
03:34:16,240 --> 03:34:16,860
Maybe I'm wrong.

6203
03:34:17,100 --> 03:34:18,800
I could, it could be a repetitive tip.

6204
03:34:18,860 --> 03:34:20,520
I've done this before, but I'm pretty sure

6205
03:34:20,520 --> 03:34:21,320
this was brand new.

6206
03:34:21,320 --> 03:34:23,860
The reason I'm doing it is because of

6207
03:34:23,860 --> 03:34:27,320
the new documentary on Netflix, which is not

6208
03:34:27,320 --> 03:34:27,980
Netflix.

6209
03:34:28,140 --> 03:34:28,380
I'm sorry.

6210
03:34:28,500 --> 03:34:28,900
Amazon.

6211
03:34:29,780 --> 03:34:31,140
I think Amazon has it.

6212
03:34:31,660 --> 03:34:32,740
Amazon or Netflix.

6213
03:34:32,900 --> 03:34:34,240
One of the two have, it's called The

6214
03:34:34,240 --> 03:34:36,540
Age of Discourse or The Age of Bullshit.

6215
03:34:37,700 --> 03:34:38,180
Disclosure?

6216
03:34:38,440 --> 03:34:40,100
Is it The Age of Disclosure?

6217
03:34:40,400 --> 03:34:40,500
Yeah.

6218
03:34:40,680 --> 03:34:44,580
So if you pay your subscription, you still

6219
03:34:44,580 --> 03:34:46,900
have to pay 15 bucks to watch this

6220
03:34:46,900 --> 03:34:47,200
thing.

6221
03:34:47,860 --> 03:34:48,900
Wait, what's it called again?

6222
03:34:49,560 --> 03:34:50,380
Age of Disclosure.

6223
03:34:50,380 --> 03:34:51,520
No, I mean Corso.

6224
03:34:52,840 --> 03:34:54,480
The Day After Roswell.

6225
03:34:54,760 --> 03:34:55,060
Ah, yes.

6226
03:34:57,200 --> 03:34:57,520
Okay.

6227
03:34:58,180 --> 03:34:58,880
I'm listening.

6228
03:34:59,060 --> 03:35:00,980
So, so the reason I suggest the book

6229
03:35:00,980 --> 03:35:02,580
is because you think they'd be talking about

6230
03:35:02,580 --> 03:35:05,840
this book, which we've discussed extensively.

6231
03:35:06,880 --> 03:35:08,480
They'd be talking about this book on this,

6232
03:35:08,620 --> 03:35:10,420
The Age of Disclosure.

6233
03:35:11,020 --> 03:35:12,840
The Age of Disclosure is supposed to break

6234
03:35:12,840 --> 03:35:14,400
the, just break the mold.

6235
03:35:14,500 --> 03:35:15,420
It's being banned.

6236
03:35:15,520 --> 03:35:16,940
Nobody wants to see it, even though it's

6237
03:35:16,940 --> 03:35:20,480
the most popular documentary ever posted on Netflix,

6238
03:35:20,480 --> 03:35:22,660
I think, or Amazon.

6239
03:35:22,840 --> 03:35:23,380
One of the two.

6240
03:35:25,520 --> 03:35:27,600
They're making bank on this thing.

6241
03:35:27,840 --> 03:35:29,440
And all it consists of is a bunch

6242
03:35:29,440 --> 03:35:32,380
of people sitting down and saying, yeah, yeah,

6243
03:35:32,580 --> 03:35:32,900
yeah.

6244
03:35:32,960 --> 03:35:35,320
We're pretty sure that, yeah, there's life outside

6245
03:35:35,320 --> 03:35:35,660
there.

6246
03:35:36,780 --> 03:35:38,500
I've seen, I've seen this.

6247
03:35:38,620 --> 03:35:38,800
Yep.

6248
03:35:38,860 --> 03:35:39,880
I've seen some wreckage.

6249
03:35:40,600 --> 03:35:41,380
And yeah.

6250
03:35:41,520 --> 03:35:42,080
What about you?

6251
03:35:42,380 --> 03:35:43,180
Yeah, yeah.

6252
03:35:43,280 --> 03:35:46,280
There's gonna, there's some aliens there.

6253
03:35:46,680 --> 03:35:48,620
We've seen them out there and they're coming

6254
03:35:48,620 --> 03:35:48,900
in.

6255
03:35:48,900 --> 03:35:50,680
We don't know what they mean, what they

6256
03:35:50,680 --> 03:35:51,040
want.

6257
03:35:51,140 --> 03:35:52,160
We don't know anything about it.

6258
03:35:52,200 --> 03:35:53,700
But yeah, I'm pretty sure, pretty sure.

6259
03:35:54,100 --> 03:35:54,640
What about you?

6260
03:35:54,940 --> 03:35:58,520
Oh, you know, there's, I saw some wreckage.

6261
03:35:58,700 --> 03:36:00,140
It's just, it's ridiculous.

6262
03:36:01,320 --> 03:36:02,580
So just read this book.

6263
03:36:02,660 --> 03:36:04,340
This book goes way deeper.

6264
03:36:04,540 --> 03:36:06,860
It's much more interesting than this documentary.

6265
03:36:07,500 --> 03:36:11,160
We have mentioned this book on 17 different

6266
03:36:11,160 --> 03:36:11,860
episodes.

6267
03:36:12,420 --> 03:36:13,520
Now make it 18.

6268
03:36:13,700 --> 03:36:15,680
Talk about recycling content.

6269
03:36:15,940 --> 03:36:16,840
I'm telling you.

6270
03:36:16,920 --> 03:36:18,160
Oh, you're still on that.

6271
03:36:18,160 --> 03:36:19,240
There he is, everybody.

6272
03:36:19,400 --> 03:36:20,180
It's the tip of the day.

6273
03:36:20,280 --> 03:36:30,400
NoahJim.TheFun.com tipoftheday.net Oops.

6274
03:36:34,300 --> 03:36:35,120
Ow, that hurt.

6275
03:36:35,320 --> 03:36:36,240
I didn't mean to do that.

6276
03:36:37,120 --> 03:36:39,160
There's been a lot of engineering this past

6277
03:36:39,160 --> 03:36:43,380
30 minutes or more.

6278
03:36:43,960 --> 03:36:45,160
Woo, everybody.

6279
03:36:45,840 --> 03:36:47,200
How did we run so late?

6280
03:36:47,200 --> 03:36:48,380
I don't know.

6281
03:36:48,500 --> 03:36:49,360
We got to talk.

6282
03:36:49,400 --> 03:36:51,160
We're supposed to be done at 2.30.

6283
03:36:51,360 --> 03:36:51,760
I know.

6284
03:36:51,880 --> 03:36:52,700
I don't know what happened.

6285
03:36:52,820 --> 03:36:54,420
You know, it's because we love doing the

6286
03:36:54,420 --> 03:36:55,260
show so much.

6287
03:36:55,460 --> 03:36:57,920
We love giving people as much value as

6288
03:36:57,920 --> 03:36:58,360
possible.

6289
03:36:58,760 --> 03:36:59,540
How about that?

6290
03:37:01,060 --> 03:37:01,860
Yeah, that's it.

6291
03:37:04,520 --> 03:37:06,840
I think more importantly, we work on the

6292
03:37:06,840 --> 03:37:07,240
holidays.

6293
03:37:07,500 --> 03:37:08,100
Yeah, there you go.

6294
03:37:08,160 --> 03:37:09,720
We may grouse at each other, but we

6295
03:37:09,720 --> 03:37:11,180
still work on the holidays.

6296
03:37:11,400 --> 03:37:12,660
Well, that's just because I'm grumpy.

6297
03:37:13,660 --> 03:37:14,940
Yes, because you're sick.

6298
03:37:15,120 --> 03:37:15,960
I'm grumpy.

6299
03:37:16,800 --> 03:37:19,920
Hey, go out with your Alex Jones voice.

6300
03:37:20,640 --> 03:37:21,600
All right, everybody.

6301
03:37:21,860 --> 03:37:24,560
We got excellent end of show mixes.

6302
03:37:25,160 --> 03:37:25,920
Right, right.

6303
03:37:26,040 --> 03:37:27,200
They're all against the elites.

6304
03:37:27,400 --> 03:37:27,820
They're going to...

6305
03:37:27,820 --> 03:37:30,400
It's all done by Silicon Valley AI, AI.

6306
03:37:30,580 --> 03:37:31,400
It's all the end of show mixes.

6307
03:37:31,520 --> 03:37:34,440
Then we got Darren and Larry of the

6308
03:37:34,440 --> 03:37:35,520
Planet Rage coming up next.

6309
03:37:35,580 --> 03:37:36,420
Those guys are good.

6310
03:37:36,520 --> 03:37:37,540
Those guys are good boosters.

6311
03:37:38,220 --> 03:37:40,040
Coming to you from Fredericksburg, Texas.

6312
03:37:40,700 --> 03:37:41,740
In the morning, everybody.

6313
03:37:41,840 --> 03:37:42,420
I'm Adam Curry.

6314
03:37:42,920 --> 03:37:45,020
And from northern Silicon Valley where it's raining,

6315
03:37:45,020 --> 03:37:45,740
I'm John C.

6316
03:37:45,840 --> 03:37:46,220
Dvorak.

6317
03:37:46,340 --> 03:37:47,540
We'll be back on Sunday.

6318
03:37:47,780 --> 03:37:48,960
Join us here, won't you?

6319
03:37:49,020 --> 03:37:50,500
For more media deconstruction.

6320
03:37:50,640 --> 03:37:52,800
Until then, adios, mofos.

6321
03:37:53,200 --> 03:37:54,160
Ahoy, ahoy.

6322
03:37:55,040 --> 03:37:56,000
And such.

6323
03:38:15,020 --> 03:38:16,580
You knew I was right before the proof

6324
03:38:16,580 --> 03:38:17,320
was decreed.

6325
03:38:17,380 --> 03:38:19,680
It's a general rule, a universal law.

6326
03:38:19,820 --> 03:38:22,180
I saw the wind that you never saw.

6327
03:38:22,260 --> 03:38:23,820
Hey, JC, I was right.

6328
03:38:24,080 --> 03:38:25,000
Yes, I was right.

6329
03:38:25,240 --> 03:38:27,320
The stars are aligned and I was right.

6330
03:38:27,400 --> 03:38:29,780
It's a wonderful feeling, a glorious sight.

6331
03:38:30,000 --> 03:38:32,140
Just stand here and whisper, I was right.

6332
03:38:32,280 --> 03:38:33,840
Say it high, say it low, say it

6333
03:38:33,840 --> 03:38:34,360
mildly.

6334
03:38:35,520 --> 03:38:36,780
I was right, Ali.

6335
03:38:39,080 --> 03:38:40,240
I'm not bragging.

6336
03:38:40,380 --> 03:38:40,980
I'm just...

6337
03:38:40,980 --> 03:38:41,840
Hey, John?

6338
03:38:41,840 --> 03:38:46,100
Right, right, right, right, correct.

6339
03:38:49,360 --> 03:38:51,300
Hey, John, am I right?

6340
03:38:58,980 --> 03:39:02,520
As a medical doctor by training, we are

6341
03:39:02,520 --> 03:39:06,800
on the brink of another global health crisis.

6342
03:39:07,360 --> 03:39:13,040
The Disinformation Global Health Resilience Initiative from measles

6343
03:39:13,040 --> 03:39:13,960
to polio.

6344
03:39:14,920 --> 03:39:18,720
Because every square centimeter of our territory must

6345
03:39:18,720 --> 03:39:19,920
be protected.

6346
03:39:20,800 --> 03:39:23,280
One incident may be a mistake.

6347
03:39:23,680 --> 03:39:25,060
Two incidents are coincidence.

6348
03:39:26,740 --> 03:39:28,000
But three, five, ten.

6349
03:39:28,420 --> 03:39:31,480
Gray zone campaign, gray zone campaign.

6350
03:39:32,880 --> 03:39:36,140
Too often I hear that Europe is late

6351
03:39:36,140 --> 03:39:37,700
to the AI race.

6352
03:39:37,980 --> 03:39:40,480
I strongly disagree.

6353
03:39:41,040 --> 03:39:42,940
The AI race is still warming up.

6354
03:39:42,940 --> 03:39:44,740
Our eyes on a goal.

6355
03:39:45,700 --> 03:39:49,420
As a medical doctor by training, gray zone

6356
03:39:49,420 --> 03:39:49,840
campaign.

6357
03:39:50,980 --> 03:39:52,960
Our eyes on a goal.

6358
03:39:53,780 --> 03:39:57,440
As a medical doctor by training, gray zone

6359
03:39:57,440 --> 03:39:57,960
campaign.

6360
03:39:59,040 --> 03:40:00,980
Our eyes on a goal.

6361
03:40:01,820 --> 03:40:04,020
We're staring at the screen with a glazed

6362
03:40:04,020 --> 03:40:06,520
over eye While X and beta M tick

6363
03:40:06,520 --> 03:40:09,340
tock track dopamine high It knows I like

6364
03:40:09,340 --> 03:40:11,480
the sugar It knows I like the salt

6365
03:40:11,480 --> 03:40:14,100
If I'd buy it from Amazon, well, it

6366
03:40:14,100 --> 03:40:17,300
isn't my fault They're hacking my brain, the

6367
03:40:17,300 --> 03:40:21,140
limbic kind Turning every little craving into gold

6368
03:40:21,140 --> 03:40:24,400
They can find my amygdala is shouting Just

6369
03:40:24,400 --> 03:40:27,720
one more click While the billionaire's wallet is

6370
03:40:27,720 --> 03:40:32,840
getting more and more thick Oh, it's limbic

6371
03:40:32,840 --> 03:40:37,520
capitalism Producers, don't you see?

6372
03:40:37,520 --> 03:40:42,380
They've got a direct wire to the lizard

6373
03:40:42,380 --> 03:40:46,620
inside us They're selling us the outrage They're

6374
03:40:46,620 --> 03:40:48,940
selling us the fear And I'm playing with

6375
03:40:48,940 --> 03:40:51,820
my focus till it all disappears You're not

6376
03:40:51,820 --> 03:40:58,660
like it You're not Oh, it's limbic capitalism

6377
03:41:13,290 --> 03:41:16,450
Till it all disappears So put down the

6378
03:41:16,450 --> 03:41:23,090
cookies and the doom scrolling feed Shut down

6379
03:41:23,090 --> 03:41:31,850
the lizard, let logic take the lead The

6380
03:41:31,850 --> 03:41:35,050
no-agenda show is the anecdote, my friend

6381
03:41:35,050 --> 03:41:38,110
To the capitalistic cravings that never seem to

6382
