Adam Curry, John C.
Devorah.
It's Thursday, January 29th, 2026.
This is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media
Assassination episode 1838.
This is no agenda.
Observing the ops and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country here in
FEMA region number 6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where I have
to tell you I'll be at the Oakland
meetup this Saturday.
Thanks for asking.
I'm John C.
Devorah.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh man, I was so close this morning.
To what?
To doing the show on Linux.
I was wondering.
I'm so close.
But when I sat down this morning to,
because I've been using it for the past
couple of days.
The production workflow for me, because I use
Hindenburg Pro to do clips.
Using Audacity.
What did they do to that program?
It's been slowly deteriorating.
Did they screw that?
You have to have an old version.
I don't, well I didn't know there was
an older.
I mean I don't know if there's older
versions available.
But you can't scrub properly.
You know, because when I'm doing.
What do you mean scrub?
So you have the clip.
And then you hit a key and then
it plays forward.
And you can hit another key and it
goes faster.
Or you hit the shift key and it
goes slower.
And then you can hit an in point
and an out point.
And then X and then you cut it.
I mean I go super fast.
This was a factor.
Why is it called scrub?
Because it's analogous to the old scrubbing of
the tapes.
Across the head.
Like that?
Sure.
Surely you've heard of this term scrubbing?
No, never.
Oh.
So there was that.
And then you know Audacity is like oh
I'm just going to crash.
Okay.
It's like I can't.
So now I have to find something.
You're just going to crash.
It's like your old buddy from college.
Exactly.
I'm just going to crash here.
I'm just not going to work.
So I'm like production wise I'm just not
there.
The play out system is good.
I was ready to use that.
But I just could not get into a
production flow.
And I know everyone is going to tell
me oh you should use Reaper.
Just run it on wine.
Okay.
Run it on wine.
There you go.
That's what you should do.
So I've got to find.
If I don't have the right tools then
I can't do it.
But the play out system was working pretty
well.
How close are you?
Well I mean it's really just fixing the
recording and editing.
And I think I'll be there.
I think.
I don't know.
It's quite amazing.
You're not doing any recording and editing during
the show.
No.
But I mean.
You want to switch completely over.
You don't want to even boot the Windows
box.
Exactly.
It's a separate.
This is a whole.
I don't want to be on the Windows
box at all.
At all.
I want to be free man.
Libre.
I want to be free of the corporate
overlords.
Well I was mentioning that I'm going to
be at the Oakland meetup.
Which should be at Violetta's in Oakland.
The pizza place.
Yes.
On Saturday.
Well that's related.
And so people should think about donating.
I'm sorry.
I'm thinking about Linux.
You're thinking about donating.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well there's two things going on at the
same time.
Your little.
Your little toying with your little computer is
one thing.
But I did.
I think I did get the robot working.
Let me check.
Robot.
Are you there.
Can you hear me.
Are you working.
Yes.
I'm here and working.
I can hear you clearly.
Very slowly.
Well give her a break.
Okay.
Are you ready on the Linux box.
Is that what you're talking to.
I'm always ready.
What's on your mind.
Are you on the Linux box.
Are you ready to go.
I'm an AI operating from the cloud.
And yes I'm ready for whatever you need.
Okay.
So whenever we need her she's there now.
What happened to her in the meantime.
Was she gone.
She was on vacation.
She was dating the Grok AI.
She sounds nicer.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
No she's.
I actually I also tried to load that
open source thing.
Yeah.
That didn't work out so well.
Remember the open source version of 11 labs.
Yeah.
That when you were going on and on
about.
Yeah.
I have not succeeded in getting that working
yet.
You know you get it all installed and
says I can't find the GPU.
Well I don't have a GPU.
Oh.
Oh well.
OK.
Then we'll have to do some RAM and
convert it to the CPU.
I gave up.
But we'll get there.
We'll get there.
I know you're disappointed because you know you
just want to make your end of show
ISOs with my my bot.
I got you.
We'll get there.
Well I'm not unhappy with the 11 labs
except is so limiting.
You know you can choose from five voices.
And then here's the other thing to swap.
They have a library of thousands of voices.
But if you get the free version you
get to use five of them.
You get to use the dinky ones.
And you can swap them out.
Yeah.
But once you get your five voices and
try to swap one of them out it's
like pulling teeth.
It's like OK well I want to put
this one.
Well OK.
Well maybe it gives you a wrong screen
and then you don't have the right sliders.
And what have my sliders.
And then it's like one thing after another.
It's amazing.
This A.I. stuff is so it's.
And now everyone's sending me this.
You got to try this cloud bot cloud
bot man you got to get a cloud
bot.
So a cloud bot apparently is an open
source program that you run on a computer.
You know just run it on any computer.
Yeah.
No I.
The guys that you're portraying here are very
familiar to me.
Oh yes.
Do you know them.
They're my friends.
Just do this.
Just do that.
Oh why don't you do this.
It's just so easy.
It'll work.
No problem.
You know the cloud bot.
And so you can tell the cloud it
will be like your friend and you cloud
bot will do all this cloud is already
too much of a friend.
Well this is CLA WD Claude.
Oh another Claude.
Oh we got Claude and Claude.
Well the Claude bot communicates with your other
accounts and and then it puts a really
friendly face on it and you can say
hey you know make a reply to this
email.
Can you imagine you imagine how that's going
to work out in.
Oh yeah.
You use this.
You know you might need a two hundred
dollar a month account but you're going to
love it.
I don't think so.
Two hundred bucks a month.
Yeah.
Because of the amount of cycles a month.
Yes.
Yeah.
You want to throw a hundred dollars a
year so you can have something to do
a crappy email.
I can get it.
You could be far easier.
You do it yourself.
You can hire somebody for twenty four a
couple of twenty four thousand dollars a year.
I can hire somebody.
Twenty four hundred lowest.
Can you just quickly.
Hello.
Twenty four hundred.
Great.
Is twenty four hundred not twenty four thousand.
I'm sorry.
Well I think we can get some Somalis
for that.
No problem.
Twenty four hundred.
You still get an Indian.
I can have it done remotely.
I can have two Indians.
Welcome to Indians working in Bombay for twenty
four.
Welcome to the racist no agenda show everybody.
And by the way John I appreciate racist.
I'm going with the globalism.
I appreciate you neighbor.
This is the new thing now.
In Minneapolis.
When you're out there protesting.
Hey neighbor I appreciate you neighbor.
I appreciate you being here.
I noticed this because there was your.
Not my buddy.
I got no buddies.
It's true.
I'm trying to be nice.
Your buddy James O'Keefe who almost got
killed.
They got a threat.
He didn't almost get killed.
Well it was cute.
It was cute.
But whatever the case was he was being
called neighbor.
I could see you see that as going
on some sort of code.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
It's what used to be comrade.
Now we just say neighbor.
Wow.
Hello.
I caught that one.
I caught that one right away.
Yeah you're right.
Exactly.
Comrade.
Yeah.
That's exactly what it is.
Hey comrade.
And well Comrade Bruce is all over this.
I don't know if you heard it yet
but here's a quickie report.
More than 30 years after Bruce Springsteen won
an Oscar for his song Streets of Philadelphia.
He has written a version called Streets of
Minneapolis.
Oh.
Springsteen says it's dedicated to quote the people
of Minneapolis are innocent immigrant neighbors and in
memory of Alex Pretty and Renee Good.
Pretty good.
You got to you got to listen to
a little bit of this song because even
just the first.
When did he become a communist?
Oh once he met Patty Scalfa as far
as I'm concerned.
Listen to this.
You just got to listen to the first
verse.
Trump.
King Trump's private army.
Yeah King Trump's private army.
Listen again.
This is great.
Trump's private army from the DHS.
Guns belted to their coals.
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law.
Or so their story goes.
Oh brother.
You know this is the worst thing that
I think he could have done.
He was already kind of out of just
off the reservation.
He's living in Los Angeles still.
I think that's that's what happened to him.
No offense Angelenos.
Is that where he's living?
Yeah I believe so.
I think he moved to Los Angeles like
10 years ago.
He's the guy from Jersey.
Why would a guy from Jersey move to
Los Angeles?
Because all the cool people are there man.
That's where that's where you hang.
That's where you hang.
Hey you know what he might even do
an appearance on the Grammys this this Sunday.
Wouldn't that be great?
I hope he sings that song.
Yeah me too.
Me too.
Absolutely.
I don't think they'd let him.
Yeah.
Oh are you kidding?
Of course they will.
Well you know that.
I don't know because the way it seems.
If you're having the meeting it's like well
can we go that far?
You think well of course fuck Trump.
Well yeah but can we go that far?
Maybe it's a little too much.
I can see him backing off of it.
It's on CBS I think isn't it?
Is it CBS?
Oh and CBS has lost control.
Oh hold on.
Which will bring me.
Wait let's see if the robot knows.
Hold on a second.
What network does the Grammy Awards air on
this weekend?
The Grammy Awards are typically broadcast on CBS.
That didn't tell us the answer.
That's not an answer.
Stupid robot.
Yeah.
Well.
That brings me to a three by three.
Oh everybody here we go.
Are you ready?
That's right.
We got the top three news networks.
We got.
Do you have that new guy?
The new guy on the CBS?
Dokopol.
Is that his name?
Dokopol?
Dokopol.
So he.
So.
So these.
I used to do this if you remember
about five six years ago.
I used to do these every so often.
The three.
This is the three.
Three of the openers.
Oh yes.
The lively teasing.
Yes.
With Nat Pops and all kinds of groovy.
Yeah.
They got it.
They got the whole thing.
Yeah.
Well.
Uh huh.
I got the three networks the openers from
yesterday.
It's all the news stories that they think
is important.
They don't talk about it.
I got an Iraq clip that's nobody's reporting
on that came from NTD.
I got a bunch of clips on today's
shows.
Yeah.
None of them will be in these teasers.
No.
But.
I'm going to.
I'm going to explain what you're going to
hear.
There's.
And you can look at the length of
each of the teasers.
Yeah.
I'm looking.
NBC is the longest.
CBS is the shortest.
And ABC is right in the middle.
Right.
And that's.
And the quality matches that.
What the longer the lower the quality.
No.
The longer the better the quality.
The higher production values.
OK.
The long two minute tease.
Which is what it is.
Yeah.
But NBC is well produced.
You know, you got NBC Universal.
They got their Hollywood people doing.
You know, they get they get the showbiz
pizzazz.
I'm telling you the story in advance.
By the way.
Official term.
The showbiz pizzazz.
Yes.
Showbiz pizzazz.
You don't know.
You don't know what scrub means, but you
know, pizzazz.
OK.
Pizzazz.
Pizzazz, baby.
Yeah.
And so I also know the word belato.
Yes.
We know.
I know that word, too.
Yeah.
You would.
So you have that and then you have
CBS.
I'm sorry.
Then ABC came in second.
It's not as good.
It doesn't have as much pizzazz.
It doesn't have as much production value.
They're kind of.
But they do have Disney behind them.
So there is some showbiz pizzazz.
Yes.
But.
But they're phoning it in.
OK.
So who do we start with?
They just don't really.
Who do we start with?
They just.
They don't have.
And then.
And then last.
Yeah.
They're sabotaging this show.
ABC.
CBS is last.
Oh, OK.
No.
ABC is faxing it in.
But it's still got a little zing.
But CBS is there's nothing they don't have.
It's just not even.
They're not even trying.
Paramount either doesn't know what they're doing or.
Or they are.
I think it's the staff of CBS News.
I think CBS News organization is sabotaging their
shows so they can embarrass Harrison and Barry
Weiss and Barry Weiss.
Yes.
So I will start with the best one,
which is a real teaser, a genuine old
fashioned tease that gets you into the news,
the mood and the mood.
Yeah.
All right.
NBC are unfolding across the South.
Hundreds of thousands without power in dangerously cold
weather.
Sliding off an icy road, piling up in
a ditch, an arena roof collapsing under heavy
snow.
Power crews hanging from a helicopter to restore
electricity and pipes bursting inside the home of
a family.
We need to restore electricity and pipes bursting
inside the home of a family.
We introduced you to last night how they're
surviving.
Plus, we're tracking a bomb cyclone.
The areas that could see even more snow.
The new video just in showing ICU nurse
Alex Pretty in an altercation with federal officers
days before he was killed.
Plus, the two officers involved in the deadly
shooting now placed on leave and the attack
on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
What we just learned was sprayed on her.
Also tonight, the man accused of murdering his
wife so he could be with the family's
au pair testifying in his own defense.
You'll see that husband take the stand.
What he told the jury.

What we're learning about the connection to the
president's claims about the 2020 election.

And there's good news tonight.
Puppies rescued from a raging house fire and
the dog finding his forever home with the
firefighter that saved him.
Nightly News starts right now.
Wow.
NBC Nightly News with Tom Yamas.
We're all going to die.
I mean, they saved me at the end
with the puppy story.
That is classic.
Could not be any better.
It's dynamite.
We're all going to die.
Airplanes are crashing.
Your pipes are bursting.
Freddie was a horrible man 11 days before.
But puppies got saved.
I'm telling you.
In America, puppies rule the roost.
That's why we have the sad puppy.
Puppies are good.
So you heard the best of the best,
and NBC nails it.
I mean, if you're not glued to the
set after that, you don't know what you're
doing.
I'm pissed I missed it.
I can't believe I didn't watch Tom Yamas
give me the puppy story.
This is great stuff.
So Tom Yamas wins the award for best
of the best.
And by the way, the tension music is
good.
The tension music is dynamite.
It's well-produced.
If you're going to do this on network
television, that's how you do it.
I agree.
That's how you do it.
Yes.
Dynamite.
I feel all jacked up now.
Yeah, well, you're not going to feel that
way for much longer.
Okay.
So we're going to go to David Muir
and the faxing it in.
They have the right idea, but they don't
have the energy.
David Muir seems like he's ready to quit
the business.
I mean, the whole thing.
He's not like Tom Yamas, who's all jacked
up.
And it's like a watered down.
I don't know.
What else do we want to talk about?
David Muir is too busy primping and looking
at his muscles, making sure his T-shirt
is tight.
Yeah, he's a primper.
We know that.
He's a primper.
Here we go.
A Coast Guard cutter on the frozen Hudson
River in New York City.
Lee Goldberg is watching this new storm.
He has the forecast tonight.

ambulance right behind.
What that plow driver did.
You have to see this tonight.
Yeah, gotta see it.
Gotta watch it.
I'm David Muir.
I'm hot.
From ABC News World Headquarters in New York.
Look at me.
This is World News Tonight with David Muir.
This must still work.
I mean, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.
And it's just like, I mean, we all.
There's the enthusiasm.
They had the one good story in there.
Besides, why are they talking about the coach,
so what?
But the one good story, they did have
a picture of this hillside that's collapsing.
All these homes right on the edge of
falling over a cliff.
Very, very.
But no Nat Pops.
I heard a little siren.
No dogs.
Well, they did have Bruce Willis in there.
So there's your sad puppy.
That's like cringey.
That's your sad puppy story.
But it's cringey.
Do people watch this?
It makes me feel bad.
John, do people watch this still?
Do they still watch these?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's tens of millions.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay, so that was, compared to NBC, that
stinks.
But let's go to the real clinker.
This is a piece of crap.
It's short.
It's only, it's like, it's half the length
of the NBC one.
And it's boring.
They have no, their heart's not in it
at all.
But I think this is sabotage.
They're sabotaging CBS News.
Good to be with you.
I'm Tony DiCoppo.
The breaking news right now.
Another winter storm on the way.
When and where it will hit.
And the dangerous cold snap that just won't
quit.
Millions under cold weather alerts tonight.
Wind chills could reach 20 below.
Rob Marciano will have it all.
Also developing tonight, the attack on Congresswoman Ilhan
Omar.
Sprayed by a man with a syringe.
What we know about the suspect.
And the reaction from the White House tonight.
Also, President Trump promotes the new so-called
Trump accounts for kids.
We're giving them ownership of America's future.
No.
The U.S. government will kick in the
first $1,000.
Who else can contribute and how much?
Kelly O'Grady tonight on what you need
to know.
I'm not a scientist.
I will move on to Cincinnati.
T-E-A-M as in team.
And the Hall of Fame mystery.
Outrage and confusion as former Patriots coach Bill
Belichick is snubbed by the NFL Hall of
Fame.
Someone, anyone, explain it to me.
From CBS News headquarters in New York, this
is the CBS Evening News with Tony DiCoppo.
Now, the first thing I'd do if we
were consultants, get rid of that voice at
the end.
No.
I think a sexy female voice at the
end would be cool.
Anything rather than that.
Why don't they use female voices for that
particular intro?
Because they're misogynists.
There's a number of voiceover women out there.
They hate women.
Sorry?
They hate women.
Yeah.
Barry Weiss.
Yeah.
Well, she's running the place.
Yeah.
But there's a number of female voiceover women
out there that have terrific voices.
I mean, they're just fabulous.
And they're not exploited.
Enough.
They're not.
And they should be.
And they would appreciate it to work, believe
me.
Yeah.
So, that ends.
There's no puppy story.
There's no good news story.
They end on the sour thing about the
coach.
You notice NBC didn't even put the coach
story in there.
And even I got the coach story.
I'm like, oh, I got sports ball news.
Here's something I kind of understand.
Yeah.
It's easy enough to understand.
But it's not, like, tease-worthy, it seems
to me.
I mean, anyone who's a sports fan.
No.
Here's the problem.
Anyone who's a sports fan is all over
this.
Well, it's about the prop bets.
Yeah.
And they're all over it.
Everyone who's a sports fan, believe me, including
myself, we know everything there is to know
about this particular situation.
I didn't know anything.
From every perspective already.
I didn't.
So, you have a problem not just with
the presentation, but the editorial is below par.
Well, that was just the presentation of the
tease.
Yeah.
The fact that they're teasing a story about
this coach, about Belichick, should not be in
the tease line.
I mean, the ones at NBC, they didn't
do it.
Because nobody's going to, oh, what?
I've got to hear that.
No one's drawn to that story if you're
a sports fan who would be drawn to
the story.
Because you already know the story.
I'm with you.
Yeah.
They could have thrown the snowplow in front
of the ambulance in there.
That's a good story.
There's a bunch of good stuff they could
have.
And CBS had very little extra material.
It was just lame.
Well, local news.
The point is that this is what's going
on.
NBC is going to dominate the situation in
the future if this continues.
Local news from Fredericksburg.
Once we could finally get out of our
homes, we could not go to the only
supermarket we have here, HEB, because the ceiling
was about to collapse.
It was bulging down.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
And so now, on the text groups, you
know, this ice storm was not an accident.
It was done on purpose.
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
I'm like, okay.
For what reason?
Yeah.
What's the purpose?
What's the reason?
Here's the show.
So, Minneapolis, let's just talk about this for
a moment.
So, everywhere, everybody's talking about, well, I was
a Green Beret, and we used these exact
same tactics in Fallujah, and we did this
in the Maidan.
This is not a color revolution.
This is what everyone's saying.
No, this is the same group that did
Black Lives Matter in Minneapolis, George Floyd.
There may be one or two new nonprofits.
They're not NGOs.
Everyone's like, NGOs.
No, there's some nonprofits.
They're well-funded.
It comes from different government pots.
National Endowment for Democracy is the one who
just got refunded, which is, I think, a
mistake.
But everyone's talking about color revolution.
Yeah, I noticed.
No, it's not a color revolution.
You can't do a color revolution in America
that easily.
It's just not going to happen.
It's Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, they've activated people, and man, they have
activated people, and it's painful to watch.
Yeah, I want you to talk about that,
but before you veer off of the ice
storm story, which you just did.
I was done.
There's a big thaw coming tomorrow in your
neck of the woods, I understand.
It's going to be like 55 or something.
Oh, no, we're going up to 80.
We got our swim trunks ready.
We're going back into the pool.
So is it icy now?
No, no.
It's already thawing out?
It was thawing out Tuesday.
We couldn't get down our driveway Tuesday because
it's on the backside of the house, so
we would have just slid all the way
down.
So you were frozen in Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,
that's it?
Three days, which is what I predicted, by
the way.
Saturday, Sunday, four days, really.
Okay, four days.
Well, that's a lot.
I love my wife.
It's easy.
We had a good time.
And the dog liked the cold weather, I
guess.
Oh, this dog loves this.
This is like her culture.
She, oh, let me go out, let me
go jump around.
But it was not all that bad.
And, you know, I talked to my buddy,
the sheriff, lieutenant, you know, the former Kerrville
cop with anger management issues.
That's like a cop with anger management issues.
He's now the lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
What else do you want?
He's the lieutenant at the sheriff's office.
My God.
You know, because I said, you know, I
said it's not that bad.
We did have two tractor trailers jackknife tip
over on 87, which is a real problem
for traffic.
But, no, everything was relatively calm.
I was pleasantly surprised.
You know, we kept it all together.
You never lost your power?
I never lost power once.
Some friends of ours went out for about
an hour.
You would have if you hadn't bought that
generac.
Oh, then I would have been freezing.
The generac saved the day by not letting
the power go.
But that's also Sea-Tech.
They did a lot of that's our co
-op electric company.
They did a lot of upgrades a couple
of months ago.
So I think they got smart.
It's a co-op, of course.
It's not like, you know, some government things.
This is owned by the people, man.
The people demand better service, and we got
it.
So I'm very happy.
That was good.
Anything else about the big storm?
No, I just wanted to get everyone up
to speed.
Yeah, but the thing that is just everything
now is the government did.
Yeah, the government did this.
Yeah, this is not on accident.
But why?
Why did they do this?
Well...
They just did.
Because they're messing with your man.
Yeah, they're messing with...
I am getting so old and jaded like
you.
It's not funny anymore.
I can't get into...
I think it's funny, so you can be
getting like me.
I can't get into the conspiracies like I
used to.
I'm just like, no.
Oh, yeah, this is true.
This is bad.
It's ruining the show.
It's hurting the show.
I genuinely believe it's hurt the show just
as the bomb cyclone is going to hurt
donations, which is why I'm going to Oakland.
I'll be at this pizzeria.
Bring your envelopes.
I'll be bringing Jay's books to give to
Violet, girl.
Like he's a bride at a Jewish wedding.
Stick those envelopes on his back.
Come on, people.
Hook him up.
Do your best.
Exactly.
And last night we had dinner with some
friends, like an early dinner, AARP time, you
know, 5 o'clock.
And like...
At Friedhelm's, man, it's the best.
It's great.
That's our Bavarian place.
I hear that the fried catfish is phenomenal.
It's just...
Is it?
Oh, yes, it is.
Fried catfish is a fabulous dish.
I try to cook it every so often
when I feel like loading up the frying
oil because it makes a mess.
The frying oil is hard to reuse and
you get a bunch of grime all over.
It's a messy thing to cook.
But catfish is perfect.
It's just an amazingly delicious product fried, deep
-fat fried with batter.
Yep.
Very good.
So, you know, and then it's like, okay,
tell me about crisis actors.
I'm like, ugh.
Was that guy a crisis actor?
Did he really get killed?
I said, yeah, he's really dead.
Believe me, he's really dead.
Yeah, but, you know, he showed up at
5 o'clock.
He said, these are people who agitate or
they get activated to agitate.
It happens all the time.
You know, it's like, hey, look, I can't
explain the astronauts from The Challenger who show
up everywhere and you're looking the same with
the same name.
I don't know what that's about.
But crisis actors, I have to withdraw a
little bit from that.
And, you know, everyone's like, but they got
$16 million from the government and, yeah.
To back you up on this, people who
are totally into this kind of thinking do
a lot of homework.
They spend a lot of time online.
And if there are crisis actors involved, they
have documented it.
There will be pictures of, oh, this woman
is here.
She's here.
She's there.
She's here.
And there's a number of them that have
been documented.
Yep.
But if they're not documented, because we know
there's enough people out there to do the
documentation, then we have to assume they're not
crisis actors.
No.
And also, you know, it's like, there's another
Adam Curry out there.
And I keep getting emails inviting me to
speak at these conferences.
What is he known for?
He's known for aliens and zero.
I think someone's stolen my old identity.
I think it's you.
No.
Are you okay?
Zero point energy.
And these are big conferences, too.
Really big.
And like, hey, it was good seeing you.
And I'm like, I don't know why they're
emailing me.
I can understand.
AdamCurry.com.
You should just tell them that you do
this speech for $12,000.
$12,000.
This is my new exit strategy.
Bye, Dvorak.
I'm going to go talk about aliens for
$12,000 a pop.
I'm going to go back and talk about
aliens.
And they're going to say, you look a
little different than when I met you at
the other conference.
What's with the Tourette's?
I didn't notice that the first time around.
Tourette's.
Someone emailed me and said, do you know
that you're actually neurodivergent?
I said, yes.
Is there money in it for me?
Is there some grant I can get for
being neurodivergent?
No.
Okay.
It used to be called a tick.
Then it became Tourette's.
And now it's neurodivergent.
I don't need to.
I don't need any help.
So anyway, what's happening in Minneapolis is not
a color revolution.
And people, it's just, no, it's not.
It is some people who are very, very,
very confused about the law, about the restrictions
of the First Amendment, about responsibility of yourself.
If you want to film somebody or if
you want to carry a gun, you have
to actually be more restrictive of yourself if
you're carrying a weapon legally.
There's all kinds of stuff that, you know,
it's like people have taken the stupid pill.
It's really quite a mess.
And everyone's so jacked up about it.
It's like, yeah, this is really bad.
But we saw this already.
And this is kind of tame compared to
BLM.
Oh, yeah.
It's very tame.
BLM was much, much worse.
But it's the same.
And it was all over the country.
Yeah.
And that color revolution didn't work either.
And actually, this is, let me see.
I have this here.
Let me see.
Well, it did work for the women who
collected all those dough and bought a bunch
of property.
Oh, well, yes.
The BLM ladies.
That's true.
Let me see.
I had, where is this?
What is this under?
Oh, yeah.
I've got it here.
So two clips I'm going to play.
The first one is, yeah.
So do you remember Molly Ringwald, the actress?
Yeah, Molly Ringwald, the redheaded actress.
Yeah.
So now she wears a do-rag.
Yeah, she's wearing a do-rag.
She doesn't do this very often, but I
do.
And this is a narrative, so I'm just
going to lay out the narrative so you
can understand what people are doing.
And, you know, we might even discuss, you
know, this, we had this great article you
and I were reading about how this all
started with phones, particularly with women.
Really has, really, really has affected women.
It goes far beyond phones.
I mean, it's algorithms, it's fashion, it's all
of entertainment.
But this is the result of it.
I don't spend a lot of time doing
this, talking to you like this, unless I'm,
I don't know, recommending a foundation or telling
you to.
I guess she does a lot of makeup
videos.
She's selling makeup now, Molly Ringwald.
So unless she's recommending a foundation.
Or telling you to get your kids vaccinated
against meningitis.
But I feel like I can't stay silent
and neither should you.
There's something horrible, horrible going on in our
country right now.
And we have one of the greatest countries,
had one of the greatest countries in the
world.
And I've always been so proud to be
an American.
But right now, this is a fascist government.
It's not becoming a fascist government.
It is a fascist government.
And ICE is brutalizing people.
And I don't care how you identify.
If you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican,
if you're independent, if you don't like to
be political at all, it doesn't matter.
You have to look at what kind of
country you want to live in.
And I don't think that I need to
remind you.
I'll just give a little history lesson here,
quick.
But if you look at what happened in
France, where I lived for a few years
in my 20s.
They were taken over by the Nazis.
They were invaded.
They were taken over.
And a lot of people, a lot of
people collaborated.
And then there were people that did not
collaborate and were part of the resistance.
Eventually, they got their country back.
And those people who collaborated were found to
be criminal.
Aha.
So here's where the narrative starts.
I'm just going to back up a little
more on this.
I don't have clips.
But I will tell you that I could
have had clip after clip after clip of
not anyone of her.
I don't know.
She's not famous anymore.
Or make up the skills.
But just a bunch of these ladies on
the screaming at the TikTok, all threatening.
Yes.
They're threatening everybody who voted for Trump basically
with the same theme.
Well, she's saying something a little different.
She's saying the collaborators were found guilty.
No, this is what they're all saying.
OK.
Well, so now let's go to my favorite
hate.
Listen, just short, short, short.
So I won't torture you too much.
I had so there was a clip I
wanted to get from.
Well, here it is.
We I know this is the clip you
want.
This is a pivot.
Scott and Kara.
What I'm suggesting is and again, I've struggled
with this my whole life.
The difference between being right and being effective.
And we're angry.
And I get it.
Protesting is powerful, promising them that there will
be an accountability.
And I've said this.
I think there should be something equivalent to
the Nuremberg trials.
This is all over.
And to make it clear that once we're
back in power, which we will be, this
is going to happen.
And the statute of limitations on murder is
zero.
Never Nuremberg trials.
There you go.
Yeah, this guy, by the way, lives in
London.
Yeah, he does.
Most of the time.
Here is a Democrat candidate for Ohio attorney
general.
Oh, this is a this is the guy.
Yeah.
Elliot Forehand.
Here we go.
Yeah.
I'm glad, you know, you've got you.
You've taken all the clips I wished I
had made.
You got to get up early, man.
No, it's not about that.
The reason was I once I fill my
clip list, I stop.
You're done.
Yes, that's you're you're you're like you're like
CBS.
Like, man, it's done.
I don't need the puppy story.
I don't know.
Not that I'm more like ABC.
Oh, OK.
Here we go.
Hi, this is Elliot Forehand, candidate for Ohio
attorney general.
I want to tell you what I mean
when I say that I am going to
kill Donald Trump.
I mean, I'm going to obtain a conviction
rendered by a jury of his peers at
a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt
based on evidence presented at a trial conducted
in accordance with the requirements of due process
resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital
punishment.
That is what I mean when I say
that I'm going to kill Donald Trump.
I'm going to kill him.
Yeah, that's borderline, I think, to say that.
I think it's beyond borderline.
I think it's illegal.
I think they should arrest this guy immediately.
He said that what he said is illegal.
Well, he qualified it that he was going
to qualify.
It doesn't mean anything.
Oh, I qualified it.
Oh, I'm just joking.
Let me tell you what I let me
tell you a scenario that could happen here,
and I'll pay anybody to do it, but
I'm just joking.
No, no.
This is you can.
That's not an excuse for this.
Statutes about this.
You cannot do this.
This guy should be arrested by the Secret
Service immediately.
And killed.
Well, I mean, that would be ideally, but
no.
Hey, I appreciate you, neighbor.
So the violent threats against lawmakers is happening
more and more.
Here's Scott McFarlane to explain.
Police tell CBS News Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has
recently been the victim of a particularly large
number of threats.
President Trump has fixated on her, blasting her
regularly, including in these remarks in Iowa.
What kind of news reporting in this?
Blasting her with a super soaker?
I mean, can we use a different, what's
the verb, maybe?
It's just, it feels.
Criticizing, I would think, would be a good
one.
Criticizing would be good, yeah.
Which would be more accurate.
Yeah, but no.
Because what is blasting?
Blasting has, that's the problem, you know, this
is what we're supposed to do, is deconstruct
these things.
Yes, that's what we're doing.
Blasting has, it has a lot of double
meanings.
It's got meanings, other meanings than just, and
it's not, it's not journalistic.
No, no, that's, thank you.
That's my point.
But this is CBS Evening News.
Blasting.
President Trump has fixated on her, blasting her
regularly, including in these remarks in Iowa, just
hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love
our country.
This is tricky what they do.
This is very tricky.
So he said something just hours before the
assault, which to me is insinuating Trump motivated
someone to do something.
You're right.
Blasting her regularly, including in these remarks in
Iowa, just hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love
our country.
They have to be proud.
Blasting her.
Not like Ilhan Omar.
Trump later claimed.
That's not a blast.
Blasting her just hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love
our country.
They have to be proud.
Not like Ilhan Omar.
Trump later claimed without evidence Omar.
Without evidence.
Conspiracy theory Trump supporters have since latched on
to.
What?
Did he?
Let's see what he said.
Michael Sullivan.
No, he didn't say it.
U.S. Capitol Police chief.
We are confident this actually was a criminal
act because there's a lot of conspiracy theories
about this being staged.
I've received no information that indicates that.
The assault on Omar comes amid a growing
wave of threats against members of Congress.
I don't care who does the attacking or
the disrupting.
That's wrong and it's also illegal.
The U.S. Capitol Police launched nearly 15
,000 threat investigations last year.
5,000 more than the year before.
Including just days ago when Florida Democrat Maxwell
Frost says he was punched in the face
while at an event in Utah.
And former Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene,
the subject of scorn from Trump, says she
received a death threat on the day she
resigned.
Again, insinuating Trump is responsible.
Yes, that's a clear insinuation.
Sharpen increase.
Wait, stop.
It was a clear insinuation when, in fact,
Marjorie Taylor Greene was always a loose cannon
that was attracting these sorts of weirdos that
would hate on her.
You loved her.
With or without Trump, even when she was
on Trump's side and they were buddies, this
was going on.
Just the fact that we're even doing this
breakdown of this news report means that I'll
be getting emails.
Oh, man, you're a Trump fanboy.
Why don't you kiss his ass more, man?
Yeah, you will.
And you deserve it.
I know.
Death threat on the day she resigned.
To what do you attribute that?
That sharp increase?
Tempo and pace of events that evoke strong
emotion.
I don't know that I've seen anything like
it in like 30 years of law enforcement.
And, Scott, I understand you're following some additional
breaking news tonight out of Georgia.
The FBI is searching the Fulton County election
office.
What do we know about that?
Local officials in Atlanta say the search is
related to the 2020 election results.
The county clerk's office has possession of the
2020 ballots, and that's where the FBI agents
were seen.
Tony, President Trump continues to make baseless claims
about winning Georgia in 2020.
It's very interesting you catch that.
You know what?
They just say claims.
Well, no, that is the memo went out,
and it's just all baseless.
Here, witness the CNN report of this with
some hokey music, of course.
So we are learning more details about what
is going on down in Fulton County, where
we have learned that the FBI is serving
a search warrant at the county's election offices.
The FBI confirming this is connected to an
ongoing investigation.
And a source tells CNN that this is
part of an effort by the Justice Department
to seize election records and allegations of voter
fraud back in the 2020 election.
Now, the Atlanta metro area has been a
centerpiece of President Trump's baseless allegations that the
2020 election was stolen from him.
Another important piece of context here is that
in the first Trump administration, when he first
started making these claims, his Justice Department, then
led by Bill Barr, looked into this and
didn't find enough evidence to pursue a full
blown investigation.
The Justice Department has sued the county to
try to get these records.
That litigation is ongoing.
So it is notable that now they have
gone to a judge and gotten a search
warrant to pursue these records.
So I know I know a business guy
in Florida who has funded a lot of
people looking into Georgia.
I think this I think they've got something.
I really do.
Well, here's what I agree with you.
And I think it goes this way.
They they've already done the investigation to a
point.
And then somebody I wish whistleblower or somebody
behind the scenes.
Did you guys ever look at this and
this and this?
Because this is really what they're doing.
They're not doing what you think.
Yeah, they did this.
Yes.
I mean, for example, they have this kind
of corruption up in up in Washington state
and Mimi's political.
So she's gone on to some of it.
Mimi political.
What?
Yeah, she is.
And so she found out what they what
they how they're rigging their elections as they
they have.
It's all mail in in Washington.
So it's very easily corruptible.
Yes.
And they take teams of people that go
to all the sanitariums and old folks homes.
And they just teams and teams this way.
Oh, the older people are.
They vote more.
No sign here.
They're in.
They're in nursing homes.
And a team of people go in there
with their bat with ballots.
And they have them sign them.
And they pre filled out.
OK, what I should do.
Oh, I'll sign it.
What is it?
OK.
Yeah.
And so they sign off on all these.
And they bring in hundreds and thousands and
maybe tens of thousands of votes.
Just enough to flip things.
And there's something in Georgia that took place
that's similar to this kind of scam.
Would it?
Which is what it is.
And it's like the kind of thing I
remember hearing about when I was in high
school.
And they were bitching about the South and
how the Democrats would would go door to
door to black people's house and make them
sign ballots.
And it's very.
And then they stuff them in a ballot
box.
This has been going on forever.
This is corruption and it has to be
rooted out.
Yes.
I think they're going to do this.
They will actually do something.
I think that's happening.
There was some I think.
Oh, I have another.
Let me just say with with ice for
a second, because now and the prop bets
are in, by the way.
You can you can get your prop bet
in if the government's going to partially shut
down on Saturday.
But there's something really stupid with what the
Democrats are doing.
In fact, Chuck Schumer specifically in the Senate
about this shutdown.
Here's this is just a report to get
us into the mood.
After initial hopes of a bipartisan compromise to
approve government spending, a partial U.S. government
shutdown is looking more and more likely.
Democratic senators say they will not approve a
budget bill for the Department of Homeland Security
after federal agents that it employs fatally shot
a second U.S. citizen in Minneapolis over
the weekend.
The DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein
in the abuses of ice.
I will vote no.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to
proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS
funding bill is included.
The DHS spending bill is part of a
larger package that outlines funding for other government
agencies.
Republicans will need some Democratic support to pass
it before existing funding expires on January 31st.
Catherine Cortez Masto, the Democratic senator from Nevada
and one of the possible swing voters, said
she would not support the legislation without changes
to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE
is operated.
Meanwhile, Washington Senator Patty Murray, who had been
pushing her colleagues to vote for the spending
package, reversed her stance, saying federal agents cannot
murder people in broad daylight and face zero
consequences.
She also called for the DHS budget bill
to be split off from the larger funding
package, in which $64.4 billion is appropriated
for Homeland Security, including $10 billion for ICE.
However, even splitting off this segment wouldn't avoid
a shutdown for sure.
The House, which is currently on recess, would
have to return to pass the funding package
if it's changed and then send the legislation
back to the Senate for approval before the
January 31st deadline.
Okay, so she doesn't get it entirely right
in this report.
And here's the problem.
You know, we have people who work at
DHS.
And interestingly enough, one of the guys who
shot Pretty was Customs and Border Patrol.
He wasn't even ICE.
But the so-called one big beautiful bill
has a separate appropriation for $75 billion for
ICE specifically.
This minibus, as they're calling it, even though
it's huge, you know, if they even if
they ripped it up right now, the $75
billion for ICE is already inappropriated, etc.
The crazy thing is that what this minibus
does is they want to, if they would
pass it, it would set the annual ICE
operating budget at $10 billion.
So right now they could take $35 billion,
$50 billion, whatever they want.
This bill that they now want to stop
would actually mandate body cameras.
They are in fact trying to stop something
that gives them more oversight over ICE, but
will never defund ICE.
So it's just a political mind game that
they're playing.
It has nothing to do with ICE at
all.
It's just all hate Trump.
Even the protests.
I don't hear anybody talking about immigrants.
All I hear is ICE, ICE.
It's all about ICE.
And just whenever you hear ICE, think Trump.
That's it.
All these people who are saying they, you
know, the Gestapo.
It's all about Trump.
They really just hate the guy.
It's not even really as much about Trump
as it is 2016.
Well, that's what I mean.
The 2026 midterms.
Yeah, well, you heard Scott there from Pivot.
Once we get back in power, and we
will.
Those words should scare you when someone talks
like that.
Okay, so you mean if you win the
midterm elections, if your party wins the midterm
elections.
He equates that to when we get back
in power, and we will, we're going to
hang you.
Nuremberg trials.
Who's the crazy person?
He.
Yes.
He's nuts.
Yes.
That to me is more frightening than anything.
But the, you know, but going back to
Molly Ringwald.
Yes.
That is so pathetic.
That is a person who's got serious issues.
She should really be in a facility.
Well, she's selling makeup on Instagram.
Yeah.
So, you know, I can understand.
And even if you look at Instagram, there's
all these.
It's so sad to see people who, I
guess they make money as being influencers with
lots of followers.
And, you know, some of them do cooking
tips.
John, you know them, you know, put some
cheese on it.
Lots of Tina tried to make something from
Instagram.
She did.
Let me do a little detour.
She says, I'm going to try this cottage
cheese pizza crust.
Oh, I bet.
She says, hmm.
Didn't turn out the way it looked on
Instagram.
No, of course.
It's cottage cheese.
She ate it, though.
I'll give her that.
The people who are on Instagram who have,
you know, they have their followers for whatever
they do.
Woodworking, leather stuff, leather stitching.
Needlework.
They're all being forced.
This is your audience capture.
They're all being forced.
Well, you have to take a stand.
You got to say something.
I'm unfollowing you.
And then, of course, they take a stand
like, yes, this is horrible.
I'm against this.
And then, you know, it's like people like,
I'm not following you for a political opinion.
I'm following you for the cottage cheese crust.
It's like, no.
It's just big no.
No, no, no.
Now, on the other hand, this is a
possible exit strategy for us.
I was quite interested by this.
Although we don't do video, this is our
ever-enduring problem.
We really have to do video because there's
money in there.
There's money in doing video and being an
influencer.
I caught this on Planet Money on NPR,
which has turned into some kind of vocal
fry uptalk fest.
I don't remember.
No, it's terrible.
It's terrible.
The show, I can't even watch it anymore.
I don't watch it.
I listen to it.
Yeah.
So here's their report.
All right.
So my indicator of the week is $100
million.
That is how much the Trump administration has
set aside to spend on a one-year
so-called wartime recruitment strategy to hire more
immigration and customs enforcement workers.
So this is all according to a document
that The Washington Post got a hold of.
It says that immigration officials plan to flood
the market with millions of dollars worth of
social media ads and to pay pro-ICE
social media influencers and other online creators to
normalize and humanize careers at ICE through storytelling
and lived experiences.
Yeah, storytelling.
That's a quote.
Well, they're already making these, right?
I mean, I've seen footage of videographers trailing
after agents and then they put together these
slick videos and post them on social media.
So I think some of it's already happening,
right?
The Washington Post couldn't confirm whether this strategy
has been implemented or how much of this
strategy, but it certainly seems to coincide with
ads and ad campaigns and social media content
that we're seeing online.
Apparently, at least $8 million of the $100
million is supposed to be spent on this
influencer program.
They say that they are particularly interested in
veterans, former agents and pro-ICE creators.
The idea behind recruiting influencers, according to this
document, is to build trust through authentic peer
-to-peer messaging.
So they want to reach people with a
big Gen Z and millennial following and apparently
also people who are tactical lifestyle enthusiasts.
Woo!
That's us.
Tactical lifestyle enthusiasts.
That's us.
It's $100 million they've got for this.
Well, that's $92 million.
They already spent $8 if you listen to
the report.
$8 is gone.
So there's $92 left in the pot.
Let's see if we can do it.
There are some deliverables.
We have to do the right thing.
Deliverables.
Now we're getting back to the game.
I mean, this is the kind of language,
you know, like build trust through authentic peer
-to-peer messaging.
This is language that I'm used to hearing
from the advertising industry when they talk about
working with influencers.
But how unusual is it for the government
to be recruiting influencers in this way?
I mean, this is where you reach people
these days, right?
And they do partner with marketing organizations.
So the Biden administration.
So after you've made my cottage cheese pizza
crust, let me tell you about ICE.
This is a great place to work.
Also did recruit influencers for its own public
health.
Hold on.
I have a meta idea that would actually
work.
And be more profitable.
Okay.
And gets us off the video.
Okay.
Middlemen.
Agents.
Oh, agents.
Yes.
We take the money from the government and
dole it out.
Trolls, send me an email.
AdamMcCurry.com.
If you've got what it takes to be
an influencer, we will hook you up.
And we also track down the influencers that
are kind of naive about what's going on
and that there's free money.
Yeah.
And we just say, hey, here's the deal.
You want to do this?
We'll give you like 50 grand, right?
We'll give you 50 grand right now if
you get started.
And it'd be doling out that kind of
money.
Most of these guys are on there.
They'll take 50 grand a lot.
And so we can be that team.
We can be the same.
We don't have to change.
It's still Korean Dvorak consulting.
Consulting group.
Yeah.
But we are now agents.
And we have cred.
We have enough.
It's not like we're slouches.
We have cred.
So the government would say, oh, these guys
know what they're doing.
They know what they're talking about.
You in particular.
And so we could just nail it.
We could be the middlemen.
20% cut.
But we'll have to take meetings with them.
Not necessarily.
With the government?
Yeah, you got to do a meeting with
the government.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you can do that.
Everyone wants to meet Adam Curry.
What's your hair looking like?
What happened to your hair?
Oh, you poor guy.
You're not going to grow hair like anyone
will.
Well, it's good meeting you anyway.
Can I have an autograph for my mom
who used to watch you?
A couple of autographs for the guy's mom.
I get that all the time.
My mom loves you.
I'm like, could you load up the 9mm?
If there's techies involved, I can do that.
But for the normal old MTV folks with
moms that need autographs, you'd be right.
Perfect.
Rock and roll, baby.
And if you're thinking about the millions that
are involved in this deal, you would do
it.
And we could still do the show.
It's great.
Once a week instead of twice.
Yeah, perfect.
We could still do the show.
But anyway.
We can use the show.
We can tell them this.
And I'm going to give this out in
advance so people will recognize it when it
actually happens.
We will plug, just casually plug the people
that are getting the money through us from
the government.
There are podcasts.
Hey, did you see Jenny Jones' podcast the
other day?
Well, it's not for podcasts.
The thing is, they're not asking for podcasts.
She's not a podcast.
She's an influencer.
You know, I have to say, there are
influencers out there, but she's one of the
best.
And they'll get tons of traffic and likes.
Whether they get traffic or not, it's part
of the deal.
We don't care about the numbers at the
end of the day, to use a term
I'm going to say.
Yes, yes.
But we don't care about the numbers.
We care about the deal.
Anyway, I find it all incredibly sad what's
taking place.
The whole thing is messed up.
It's spinning people up.
They're all focused on one thing.
And again, people are missing the greatest.
They're dumb.
Molly Ringwald is this dumb woman.
I'm not talking about Molly.
I'm talking about our own people.
I'm irked by her conversation because she was
so dead serious about this.
Well, I mean, Bruce Springsteen kind of irked
me, to be honest about it.
That's the one that got me.
But, you know, people are really...
Yes.
But with a lot of money.
I'll just say this is not a color
revolution.
The country is not falling.
It's not over.
It's a political operation done by professionals.
There's no doubt about it.
But it seems pretty contained to Minneapolis.
I just haven't seen anything spark up anywhere
else.
So I don't know.
There doesn't seem to be a good network
if they want to do it.
Because you have to do it in multiple
cities at the same time.
You've got to...
Well, they have to have cooperation with local
police.
Yes.
You have to have a bunch of wimpy
local police.
The police chief who's not even from Minnesota.
I'm not going to get that.
You're not going to get that.
You got it in Minnesota.
That's about it.
You might get it in L.A. L
.A. could do this.
Yeah.
But L.A. is...
Well, they tried that.
Sorry.
L.A. is already over.
It's past tense.
Yeah.
It's where Bruce Springsteen lives.
There you go.
Let me see if I had anything else.
You know what?
I guess on the last show we were
talking about how this unfortunate guy, Freddie, that
he was carrying a concealed weapon legally.
And I'm like, okay, where's everyone now about
guns and gun control?
Yes, yes.
Well, the view came up with it.
If we have to endure conversations about guns
after every school shooting and kids being shot
and how we need good people with guns.
Well, Alex Pretty was a good guy with
a gun, and we see how that turned
out for him.
But I think if one more person talks
about the gun and not having the right,
it's going to really piss me off because
there was no movement after any school shooting.
There are a lot of people like myself
that believe in the Second Amendment, responsible gun
ownership.
Every state.
Right now we have everything from Idaho, who
has the weakest guns.
You could just kind of walk in and
they'll give you one.
That's a joke.
And California has the strongest laws.
I'd like to see everyone get on board
with more reasonable, responsible gun laws.
This is the time.
If we're going to now throw it all
out the window on one Second Amendment right
because it doesn't suit the narrative, let's have
real conversation about responsible gun ownership because people
seem open to it now.
I don't know.
Is Sarah Haynes the token conservative on the
show?
No, she's not actually.
The token conservative is the one that's sitting
next to Whoopi, as I recall.
The blonde.
No, Sarah Haynes used to work for the
Trump administration in the PR and the press.
Oh, well, there you go.
And she turned on Trump.
She defected, yes.
She's a conservative that hates Trump, yes.
But I think underneath it all, she's not
as nutty as the rest of them.
Not yet.
What?
Not yet.
They'll grind her down.
Because I can see her bristle once in
a while.
But she's not the token, technically.
I think it's that blonde.
I can't even remember her name.
She never speaks up.
Okay, well, I'm going to ask Adam if
you want to change topics.
Oh, yes.
Because it came up, the new virus, the
killer virus.
Hold on.
That NBC is promoting.
Hold on.
I completely was not ready for it.
Here we go.
Ask Adam.
All right, you have a question, I guess?
It's kind of in the clip.
This is the discussion of the new virus
that is just going nuts.
Sorry.
And this is the one they're talking about
that was teased on the NBC teaser.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to play just the beginning of
the clip, and then I'll have the question
for you, and then we can play the
clip whole.
Health officials in the U.S. tonight are.
Oh, wait a minute.
Which one?
Oh, I see.
The one that doesn't say answer.
Well, they're both 57 seconds.
Okay, they're different.
I can see it.
They're different.
Health officials in the U.S. tonight are
monitoring a deadly virus that is spreading overseas.
Spreading overseas.
Airports in Southeast Asia are now heightening their
airport screenings.
Raf Sanchez is following this from London for
us.
Raf, what more do we know?
So, Tom, airports across the region are stepping
up their screening for what's known as the
Nipah virus.
This is a far more deadly virus than
COVID.
It has a fatality rate of between 40
and 75 percent, according to the World Health
Organization.
Now, it's usually carried by fruit bats, and
human-to-human transmission seems to be rare.
But there is no vaccine at this point,
which is why these two cases in India
are being taken so seriously.
The Indian Ministry of Health says it's been
doing contact tracing, and it believes the virus
is contained.
And the CDC says it is monitoring the
situation, and it stands ready to assist if
needed.
Keeping a close eye on that one.
All right, Raf, we thank you.
Okay, so I screwed that up.
Hold on.
I told you you screwed this up.
I told you it was too long.
Yeah, I screwed it up.
Well, let me do the jingle.
I don't know, but here we go.
Ask Adam.
Answer the question.
Well, you heard the answer in there, but
I'm going to ask anyway.
It's spreading.
This horrible Nipah virus is spreading.
How many cases?
Two people in India.
So how is that spreading?
It's spreading fear.
It is spreading fear through your news media.
That's what they do.
That's what they're paid to do, and they
love it.
It's good.
I think what they're trying to do here
is they're trying to keep it in mind
there's a pandemic around the corner.
You know, that last pandemic, we have to
remember that this COVID pandemic, which is dubious
whether it was a genuine one or not,
it really was on the heels of the
1917 Spanish flu pandemic, which is the only
real pandemic we've had, and that was 100
years ago.
So every 100 years we have something that
is a real pandemic.
Yeah.
Assuming COVID was.
And so we're not going to see another
one for 100 years.
I mean, who are we kidding here with
this pandemic, pandemic, pandemic that could happen any
minute?
Well, they're not kidding you.
That's for sure.
No.
Yeah, but we played the whole we played
the teasers.
This is what they do.
That's all that they have.
It's just fear, fear, fear, fear, fear.
Let's make it all it's just fear.
That's the whole idea.
And to a degree, it works.
On all kinds of people.
This is what I'm trying to tell you.
Keep trying to tell me.
I'm trying to tell you, man.
Keep trying to tell me that, Adam.
I might get through eventually.
You might, eventually.
Okay, so let's go to Florida and listen
to a city council having a meeting where
they're discussing some sort of Florida local access.
This is the Anita Dick clip.
Oh, okay.
Florida Station of Counties waves in opposition.
Pamela Birch Fort, Florida State Conference of NAACP
Branches waves in opposition.
Anita Dick is an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Holden Hiscock is also an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Jimmy, only Jimmy, Florida.
How come those people never donate to our
show?
Holden Hiscock.
We're all 15 years old in America.
It's great.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a clip.
If you saw it visually...
Nah, you got a clip of the day.
That was good.
When he says Anita Dick, there's actually a
long pause and he looks up and gives
a dirty look at everybody around him and
then goes back to reading and then he
says the Hitchcock joke.
Holden Hitchcock.
Pamela Birch Fort, Florida State Conference of NAACP
Branches waves in opposition.
Anita Dick is an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Holden Hiscock is also an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Jimmy, only Jimmy, Florida.
I'm sure he had a last name but
you just decided not to use it.
Jimmy.
Only Jimmy.
Oh man, Holden Hiscock.
That is good.
It's good.
That's who America used to be.
Now we're all out there at 16 degrees.
Moaning and groaning about fascism.
Yeah.
Well, I just want to thank everybody and
it is everybody who wrote to us to
say hey man, exploding trees are real.
And so I concede.
Yes, they're not exploding of course.
But yes, I guess bark does burst from
time to time but everyone had an opinion
on this and was all universal.
Yes.
Yes, trees explode.
You may have seen the videos appearing to
show trees exploding under the constraints of the
cold.
Yep, and I've seen this one as well.
But what is actually happening here?
But generally what you're going to get is
wood separating, creating the frost crack.
It's not really going to explode like people
are saying.
The appropriately named Zachary Froster is a certified
arborist.
He also runs his own tree care business.
That's my name, Zachary Froster.
In Muskegon County.
What you got is the wood on the
outside is getting colder than the inside.
It's creating a bunch of pressure on the
inside and that tree has to release that
pressure which creates the crack in the wood.
He showed us one tree in his backyard
that has slowly opened up over the years.
He says the separation does make a sound
but it's not the kind of explosion you
may have seen online.
It'll make a gunshot sound when it cracks.
It'll sound.
You'll hear it.
We believe you.
It's all true.
Although some of those videos were definitely AI.
Yeah, that's what you do.
Have you seen the latest Amelia video?
No, I have not.
Is it good?
Now they're doing a real short thing.
She's in a boxing ring with Starmer and
she just beats the crap out of him.
Is he wearing a bikini?
No, he's wearing Patronix.
He looks like a boxer.
Okay.
That would have been funnier.
Yeah.
We got the latest update from the Bulletin
from the Atomic Scientists.
This happens I think it is every year.
We don't catch it every year but we
have been tracking this probably almost every year
for the 18 plus years in the existence
of this show and it is now even
worse than ever.
Thank you for joining us today.
My name is Alexandra Bell and I'm the
President and CEO of the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists.
It is the determination of the Bulletin's Science
and Security Board that humanity has not made
sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger
us all.
We thus move the clock forward.
The Doomsday Clock is a tool for communicating
how close we are to destroying the world
with technologies of our own making.
The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate
change, and disruptive technologies are all growing.
Every second counts and we are running out
of time.
It is a hard truth but this is
our reality.
It is now 85 seconds to midnight.
This is the closest the world has ever
been to midnight.
I am a robot.
85 seconds.
But that's isn't that a minute and 15
seconds?
Why did she say 85 seconds?
I thought that was kind of bizarre.
Because you say it's two minutes before midnight.
Isn't it a minute and 25 seconds not
15?
It's 85 so it's yes a minute 25
I'm sorry.
It's like they're already this is already a
thing that doesn't work anymore.
The Doomsday Clock was I think a big
thing in the 70s maybe.
Yeah 70s the same thing as the population
bomb.
Yeah and now it's like oh it's 85
seconds to midnight.
The clock is ticking.
We have not done enough.
Well they're trying to do it in Los
Angeles.
They're trying to save humanity.
Access is easy and social media users can
get sucked in for hours scrolling.
But some families say it could turn deadly.
In this case nearly suicide.
These companies have been orchestrating an addiction crisis
in our country and actually the world.
Mark Lanier says big tech companies deliberately built
their platforms to addict users.
At the center of this case is now
19 years old.
She's identified in court documents as KGM and
she's suing some of the biggest tech companies
including Meta.
The parent companies of Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.
She alleges these popular platforms were harming her
mental health and contributing to depression, anxiety and
body image issues.
Her attorney says features like infinite scrolling, autoplay
constant notifications and recommended algorithms kept her hooked
for nearly a decade.
This is the first time these kind of
claims will be decided by a jury.
Legal experts say the case is being compared
to the early tobacco lawsuits of the 90s.
Raising the question of whether tech companies knew
their product could be harmful and failed to
act.
The company recognized that in a sense they
were cigarettes for the eyes.
What?
The company strongly denied yelling.
I love the cigarettes for the eyes.
Wasn't it, didn't Dave Letterman have some, Howard
Stern have a guy who could blow smoke
out of his eyes?
Remember that?
Yes, there are people that can do stuff
like that.
Who was the, I think it's I think
it was, who's the magician out of Texas
who's got a vasectomy?
Copperfield?
Brian Brushwood.
I think Brian Brushwood can run a can
run a Who are you?
Hey man, I'm the Texas comedian who had
a magician who had a vasectomy.
According to the Noah Jenner show.
He can run a, well, but the before
he could run a dental floss through his
eyeball.
Yeah, that's nice.
The company recognized that in a sense they
were cigarettes for the eyes.
The company strongly denied the allegations arguing there's
no clinical diagnosis for social media addiction.
Not yet.
Adding the apps have safety features built in
for teens.
Representatives of these media giants are also relying
on section 230 of the Communications Decency Act
which generally shields platforms from liability.
Either way this trial could shape how social
media platforms are designed and how children use
them.
This case is not ultimately about money.
This case is about responsibility.
Of course it is.
It's not about money.
What's the point?
I think the poison pill they're going to
use if they ever get anywhere with this
is going to be what we talked about
on the last show.
Moral injury.
That's now that's in the DSM now.
It is a mental condition.
Maybe the whole thing was a scheme.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Set it up as moral injury.
I have moral injury and you don't have
to, you can be anywhere on any spectrum
to get moral.
I get moral injury just listening to you.
I'm going to file a lawsuit.
Yeah, you do and I take full responsibility.
Yeah, well you heard it here first.
That'll be $10 million for the moral injury
I suffered at your hands.
Yeah, well I'm going to countersue.
Okay.
Meanwhile, although for some reason not really the
top of the news.
It wasn't, I don't think it was any
of the three by threes.
You know, the new owners of TikTok have
taken over.
I'm not even quite sure who's actually managing
it.
We only know about the shareholders.
Do you have any idea who's running it?
There was some guy named and he's, I
can't remember his name, but there is a
person I think Fuentes I think is the
one who brought him up because he's Jewish,
of course.
Everyone says it's Ellison.
No, Ellison is, yeah, but the guy running
TikTok, there's this CEO that is not Ellison.
It's Mossad.
So Mossad is running TikTok.
That would be right.
That's exactly it.
And they suck at it.
TikTok's new American owner is apologizing to thousands
of users after reported issues with the video
sharing app.
Over the weekend, there were more than 600
,000 reports of glitches.
The company says the issues were because of
a power outage at a U.S. data
center that the company uses.
Content creators are also noticing bugs, slower load
times, and zero views on videos.
The company says it will be back to
full capacity soon.
And that's the outrage.
I have no views!
That's the outrage, you're right.
Oh, yeah, the previous owners would just, oh,
you got a million views.
They put phony numbers up.
Believe me.
Make everybody feel good.
That's a little trick that should be employed.
Oh, yeah, you're really popular.
It's doing great.
Yeah.
And they didn't get that part.
I want to do an aside because I
mentioned Brian Brushwood and you went on and
on about the vasectomy.
Yes.
Which is personal.
I don't think we should be discussing it.
But it was brought up at the dinner
table, not Brian Brushwood, but it was brought
up at the dinner table by J.C.
because, you know, he's at the age, he's
in his 30s, I guess.
But he's noticing, he says that he knows
people that have had vasectomies and they immediately
lose their sense of humor.
Hmm.
All that?
Yeah.
I just thought I'd throw that out there
because it's one of the elements, because my
thinking was they all end up looking like
old lesbians, which is bad enough, but losing
your sense of humor can't be good.
Well, we have producers out there who have
had vasectomies.
Yeah.
If we start getting notes from them saying
that's not funny, then you'll know the answer.
All caps.
So there was a big rumor going around
in Europe.
Europe has done all these, the EU, I
should say, has done this big deal with
India.
Actually, let me just play that clip for
a second because it does have to do
with this.
Here we go.
Big deal.
India and the EU began talking about a
trade deal nearly 20 years ago.
Now they say they have one.
Prime Minister, distinguished friend, we did it.
We delivered the mother of all deals.
We are creating a market of two billion
people and this is the tale of two
giants.
The world's second and fourth largest economies.
Said the lady who's four foot nine.
Two giants who choose partnership in a true
win-win fashion.
The Indian prime minister sees the deal as
a new blueprint for shared prosperity in an
increasingly uncertain world.
We are seeing a lot of turmoil today
in the global order.
At such a time the partnership between India
and the European Union will strengthen stability in
international systems.
India is one of the world's largest textile
exporters with around one sixth of its annual
product heading to the EU worth more than
seven billion dollars each year.
Annual trade between India and the EU represents
more than 214 billion dollars.
Many European exports are in the form of
chemicals, machinery and pharmaceuticals.
Tariffs on all will be radically reduced within
the next ten years.
But those on cars will drop the most
down to as little as ten percent for
an annual limit of around 250,000 vehicles.
Germany's motor manufacturers say this represents a competitive
boost for them.
While ministers say it's a great opportunity for
growth.
So the big thing...
Yeah, whatever.
The big thing is a hundred thousand tech
workers will be allowed to come into the
EU now.
A hundred thousand Indian tech workers.
Which is, I mean...
Which is a nightmare.
It is.
It's a bad idea.
We've gone through that.
We're still struggling with it in America.
If you look at all these scam companies
that have a thousand Indian guys and there's
all these immigration paper schemes they do so
they can stay longer.
Then they have a company who's vouching for
them.
The whole thing is messed up.
And I have to say, they're very racist.
Very.
They don't want to hire white men, women,
even lower class Indians.
They just hate them.
No, no, they have to be in the
right cast.
Yeah, they have to be in the right
cast.
This immediately launched, although this is the debunk
from Euronews, but this is how it's playing
out.
We're going to have a competitor to X.
It'll be all European.
It's going to be great.
Claims are spreading online like wildfire that the
European Union is setting up its own social
media platform to rival X.
These posts have spread primarily on X itself.
Some with thousands of views and say that
taxpayers money will be used to set up
W as an alternative to Elon Musk's platform.
Some posts describe it as a state-run
censorship platform that has received funding from the
European executive.
But these claims are misleading.
A European Commission spokesperson told the Cube that
the EU is not launching, funding or operating
any social media platform.
There is no EU backed project called W.
So what then is W?
According to its CEO, Anna Zeiter, is a
privately owned social media startup incorporated in Sweden,
funded by private investors, mainly from the Nordics.
W will be hosted on European servers, limit
ownership to European investors and operate under the
DSA.
False claims about EU involvement spread after a
group of 54 MEPs urged European Commission President
Ursula von der Leyen to build European social
media and back alternatives to the main platforms.
This was in the wake of multiple scandals
involving Elon Musk's X, including pornographic material and
the amplification of false conspiracies.
Not an EU initiative.
A recent European Parliament resolution calls for more
technological sovereignty in areas like cloud computing and
AI.
But it doesn't propose creating a new EU
social media platform.
W plans a gradual rolling out this year,
using passport and selfie verification to check the
identities of its users.
So here's the thing.
They've got all this heat, all this talk
about them.
I can't find it.
I can't find W.
W dot com, W dot EU.
Look up blue curry.
Blue curry as in you know, the spicy
dish.
Blue curry?
I'm just kidding.
You don't have to look it up.
You know, there are blue curry.
Yes.
A Bahamian artist living and working in London.
So, you know, the things that are wrong
with this is like, you can do you
don't need investors.
You can use Mastodon.
You can use Blue Cry.
You know, there's all these different alternatives.
The European Union, people need to stand up
to these nuts.
This really is.
Yeah, talk about fascist.
Yes.
Well, listen to this.
This is from the UK, GB News.
I'm saying it so you know it's slanted.
But this takes it.
Good evening.
A convicted terrorist is standing for election in
Birmingham.
Shaheed Butt was convicted in Yemen in 1999
for conspiring to bomb the British consulate in
Yemen, an Anglican church and a hotel.
Now he claims to have been wrongly convicted,
saying that the charges were not terrorism related
and he was forced into signing a confession.
He was reportedly linked to an armed Islamist
jihadi group of radicals who kidnapped 16 Westerners
in 1998.
They were accused during the criminal proceedings of
being sent to Yemen by this guy.
He is the hook-handed hate cleric, the
former preacher of London's Finsbury Park mosque, who
was found guilty of 11 charges of terrorism
and kidnapping in a Manhattan court.
He's currently being sentenced to two life sentences
plus 100 years with no possibility of parole
in America.
In the early 1990s, Shaheed, who is standing
for election in Birmingham's Sparkhill ward, apparently travelled
to Bosnia as an aid worker and then
just stayed and joined the foreign fighters brigade
of the Bosnian army.
Before that, he had been jailed in Birmingham
for violence and was in trouble regularly through
the 1980s, linked to his role in the
notorious Lynx gang.
According to reports in the Birmingham Mail, he
has openly encouraged the city's Muslim youth to
work out at the gym and learn to
fight, in readiness for potential attacks, and urged
Muslims to stand together and hold their ground
against people of other faiths, who he describes
as disbelievers.
There's GB News freaking everybody out in the
UK.
They're men of fighting age and they're training
in the gym.
They're going to the gym and they're going
to beat you up.
Wsocial.eu Well, that's...
You found it, finally.
Well, the troll room found it for me.
That's snappy.
Trust your feed.
Wait.
W.S.O.C. No, Wsocial.
W.S.O. Wsocial.eu Yes.
I would have done W.E.U. if
it was available.
Well, they probably can't get W.E.U.
Why don't you just put that in there
and see what you come up with.
W.E.U. So, listen to this.
Trust your feed.
We believe in the need for a global,
trusted social media platform owned, run, and hosted
in Europe.
W is built on verified human users.
Transparency, privacy, and free speech, like free beer.
We want to build W together with you.
How is that going to work in the
UK?
Beta access will be rolled out gradually starting
in March 2026.
You have to be a beta?
Yes, for betas only.
Or as they say, beta.
Beta, yeah.
I signed up.
I did not get a confirmation email, but
I signed up.
But it's global.
It's not just for the EU.
It's global.
Global?
Yeah, it's global.
I have one unreported story that nobody's reporting
on in any of the mainstream.
I thought I'd at least get it out
of the way early.
Okay.
And it's under unreported.
Is where you'd expect it to be.
And in another development, the United States is
apparently keeping a close eye on the upcoming
elections in Iraq.
President Trump posted on Truth Social that if
former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is
elected, then the U.S. will quote, no
longer help Iraq.
Trump added that under al-Maliki's former leadership,
the country quote, descended into poverty and total
chaos.
Al-Maliki, who was recently nominated by the
country's dominant political party, responded by saying quote,
we reject the blatant American interference in Iraq's
internal affairs and consider it a violation of
its sovereignty.
Jason Perry, NTV News.
That got a little bit of coverage, but
yeah, of course not.
Well, you heard about it?
Okay.
We gotta have the Zapruder film running over
and over again on the quad screen.
But that said, all of a sudden, and
this just happened without, I didn't get a
notification, Iran opened up, the internet is reconnected,
everything's back to normal, CNN is on the
scene doing man on the street and hilarious
results because it's exactly what we've always heard
from our Iranians.
Iran's leadership is sending a very strong and
defiant message to the United States.
This guy is in Iran.
Specifically, of course, to the Trump administration.
You can see it here on this gigantic
poster on Revolution Square in central Tehran.
The message on this massive poster is if
you sow the wind, you will reap the
whirlwind.
Obviously meaning, if the United States attacks Iran,
Iran will retaliate in a massive way, which
could of course lead to a major military
confrontation between the United States and Iran, and
that's also something that's on the minds of
many of the people that we've been speaking
to here as well.
I'm not sure what to say.
I think they're all collaborating with one another
against the interest of the Iranian people.
I don't think Trump dares to attack.
He's more bluffing.
All this, of course, comes as President Trump
weighs his options on what to do next.
The US has pulled together a substantial military
force here in this region, but the Iranians
also say they've replenished their stockpiles of ballistic
missiles and are ready to hit back hard
any time.
Now, of course, all this comes in the
wake of those large protests that happened here
in Iran in the early part of January,
and when you're out on the streets here,
you can see that there are people who
are still traumatized by what happened then.
There were a lot of people out there
in the streets when I had to leave
home.
I don't know what to say, but the
situation was very bad.
Now that the internet connection is restored, we
only now know that so many were killed.
So we've got the lady on the street
saying, I think they're all just colluding with
each other, the Americans and the Iranian leadership,
which is what we've heard consistently.
But I'm just kind of missing the videos,
the horrible videos, like real videos, not the
ones that were from Egypt from five years
ago or whatever.
You know, the reports are 30,000, 40
,000 people slaughtered.
How come we're not seeing that video in
these accounts?
Yeah, where's our videos?
Everyone's got a phone cam.
Everyone.
The whole thing is very sus, as the
kids would say.
Sus?
Yeah, it's sus, as in suspect.
Sus.
Oh, suspect.
Sus.
Yes, sus.
It's hard to say the whole word.
As the kids say, I qualified it.
Here's the France 24 report about the Armada.
With anti-U.S. messaging on billboards and
in headlines on Iranian newspapers, tensions are simmering
amid threats of a U.S. attack on
Iran.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump again renewed his
warnings, referring to a U.S. naval strike
group that is now in Middle East waters.
Trump said the fleet was larger than one
sent to Venezuela before the kidnapping of that
country's president.
He called on Iran to negotiate a fair
and equitable deal, mentioning no nuclear weapons.
Trump suggested that if there was no response,
the next attack would be far worse than
last year's U.S. strikes on Iran under
Operation Midnight Hammer.
The Iranian mission to the United Nations hit
out at the threat on social media, saying
Iran stands ready for dialogue based on mutual
respect and interests, but if pushed, it will
defend itself and respond like never before.
Speaking at the U.N. later, China warned
against what it called military adventurism in Iran.
Earlier this month, Trump pulled back from threats
of military action over Tehran's deadly crackdown against
anti-government demonstrations, claiming the regime had reversed
a decision to hang hundreds of protesters and
amid pleas from Gulf nations to de-escalate.
Last week, though, Washington said it was sending
a massive fleet to the region just in
case.
Analysts say U.S. options include strikes on
military facilities or targeted hits against the leadership
under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a full-scale
bid to bring down the regime.
Meanwhile in Europe, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said
Wednesday that the Iranian government's days were numbered.
The EU is expected to sign off on
a first volley of sanctions over the deadly
crackdown this Thursday.
There are also discussions to add Iran's Revolutionary
Guards to the bloc's terrorist list.
So when the president says, or when the
news says, that they're sending a giant fleet,
an armada, to the region, so where is
that?
The Gulf of Oman?
The Persian Gulf?
Qatar?
I'm thinking the same thing.
Where is this fleet?
Where is it going to be?
Arabian Seas?
It's going to be sitting out there?
You know, Iran, they have...
Has anybody identified exactly where it's going to
be positioned?
I haven't heard that.
We don't even know that there's a fleet
being moved at all.
No, and so that kind of comes back
to the lady on the street and people
who we know have said this consistently.
America and the Iranian leadership, they do this
all the time.
They're doing stuff together.
Yeah, that would be the cafe chat in
most of the Middle East.
I'm just like, where are they sending this?
What's that water off of Baku?
Azerbaijan?
I'm thinking where the gate is.
That's the Caspian Sea.
Well, you can't get to the Caspian Sea.
Where's that gate?
Oh yeah, the Gulf of Aden.
You know what comes out of that?
Yeah, fish.
Yes, when the porthole opens up, that's when
the fish come out.
Yeah, fish.
They feed us.
But even then, it's like, okay, I guess.
Yes, well, we have Navy boys and girls.
Let us know.
Are you underway?
Are you full steam underway?
No, they probably can't tell us.
Yes, they can.
They know what they can do and what
they can't.
I've been thinking about the Chinese military guys.
I think that...
Who's they?
The Chinese military guys who were kicked out
by Xi.
You said they're thinking about.
I've been thinking.
Oh, you're thinking.
I know, it's dangerous.
I'm thinking.
I think that there might have been a
coup.
I'm sorry?
A coup.
I think there was a coup afoot.
Where?
In China.
Oh, you mean in China.
That's where they got rid of all those
generals out of the blue.
Yes.
These were top guys.
A coup afoot.
Yes.
I never thought of that, but you might
be right.
Why else would they do that?
And it would be the military who'd pull
the coup, because that's what they do in
these circumstances.
Top guys, too.
I've got a minute-long report.
Just weeks after holding war games that encircled
Taiwan, which alarmed the island's government, China announced
it's investigating its most senior uniformed military officer.
General Zhang Youzhao, second-in-command of China's
military, behind President Xi Jinping, along with Lu
Zhengli, another general, are suspected of serious violations
of discipline and law.
The University of Toronto's Lynette Ong says, following
the recent dismissal of other generals, the probes
could be about loyalty.
I think President Xi is trying to consolidate
power.
Zhang is one of the few Chinese officers
with combat experience, and his father marched with
Mao Zedong, making him part of an elite
hardcore.
A former ambassador to China says it appears
Zhang always saw himself as equal to Xi,
who holds more power than even Chairman Mao
did.
It shows that Xi is not as powerful
as people may think.
Taiwan's defense minister says the country is closely
monitoring the changes in China's military.
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province, and
Xi previously pledged reunification and has not ruled
out using the military to achieve it.
I think they're just throwing the Taiwan thing
in just for effect, but it just feels
like...
Yeah, the Taiwan would be a distraction to
keep you, oh yeah, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, instead
of thinking what's really going on, which was
an attempted or a suspected or a plot.
Yeah.
Feels...
That he got wind of, because there's always,
you know, you got too many people, you
know, gotta keep it to three or four
guys max, and hope that none of them
are pinks.
Yeah.
Not easy.
Especially with a guy like Xi, who's just
a complete...
He's kind of paranoid, he gets rid of
people real fast.
Yeah.
But I can see being the second in
command, and this guy who's never gonna die,
who changed the rules, and said, no, I'm
gonna be the premier forever.
Mm-hmm.
Could be irksome.
I just felt...
If we look at ARC, I'm still hoping
that ARC comes together, America, Russia, China.
Now President Putin has said, you know, I'm
kind of all in on that board of
peace, billion dollars, no problem.
Ask the Europeans for it, they're holding our
money for us.
It's the funniest thing.
Is that what he did, really?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a lot of work.
Yeah, we're good.
We are ready to direct one billion dollars
to this new structure.
He says, we got some frozen assets over
there, ask the Europeans to send it over.
I'll sign the check.
Cute.
Very cute.
Well, I have a Ukraine update that talks
about this, not about that, but about what's
going on.
Okay.
The U.S. continues efforts to end the
fighting between Russia and Ukraine, both President Trump
and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are praising the
ongoing progress.
And today's international correspondent Arian Pazdar has more.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted this video on
Exxon Wednesday, praising post-war recovery plans that
are being developed with the U.S. Zelensky
says work with the American side is progressing
actively.
I thank the envoys of the President of
the United States for their constructive approach in
the negotiations.
Just on Tuesday, President Trump also praised the
progress that's being made to end the Russia
-Ukraine war.
We're looking at some very good things happening
on Ukraine and Russia.
Very good things.
Very good.
Very good things are happening on Ukraine and
Russia.
And the Kremlin on Wednesday saying Zelensky is
being invited to visit Moscow for a meeting
with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
We have never declined and will not decline
such contacts.
The main thing is that these contacts are
well prepared.
If Zelensky is truly ready for a meeting,
we invite him to Moscow and guarantee his
safety.
The Kremlin official added that Putin already discussed
a possible meeting with Zelensky during phone calls
with Trump.
Meanwhile, the fighting in Ukraine continues.
Ukrainian officials report strikes on various cities across
the country.
A monastery in Odessa came under attack on
Wednesday.
Another attack also damaged port infrastructure in the
Odessa region.
Officials say three people were hurt in the
strikes.
And in Kiev, a couple died in an
overnight attack.
According to Zelensky, the couple was at home
with their daughter during the attack.
Everything I see, the Ukrainian people are sick
of Zelensky.
They're sick of the war.
They're so done with it.
It's not going anywhere for them.
And by the way, if Zelensky takes the
meeting in Moscow...
You said, by the way.
I just caught this one.
Ah, thank you.
I'm going to have a lot of trouble
breaking that.
Well, we need a different phrase.
We need to program something else.
Well, if I could program myself to say
something different, I will.
And I've thought about it.
But if Zelensky takes the meeting in Moscow,
I advise him going by train.
Yeah.
Could be one of those unfortunate accidents.
Kim Jong-un has got the right idea.
Trains.
Yeah.
Well, this gives me the opportunity to check
in with our boy Mark Rutte.
He's a man constantly treading a delicate line
between Donald Trump and Europe.
But NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte swung largely
in the favor of the US as he
addressed the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.
If anyone thinks here, again, that the European
Union or Europe as a whole can defend
itself without the US, keep on dreaming.
Keep on dreaming.
You will be just run over.
You can't.
We can't.
We need each other.
You need each other.
I think you need us more than we
need you.
I'm just saying.
A warning for Europe, but also a stress
on mutual dependence.
As a Dutchman at the head of the
military alliance between the US, Canada and 30
European countries, Rutte has been central to calming
transatlantic tensions since Trump's renewed threats to annex
Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
Trump whisperer, Rutte has been carefully cultivating his
relationship with Trump before taking...
Then they go into the whole daddy thing
a bit.
But there is some news on Greenland and
it seems like the framework is coming into
view.
It's been one week since the US president
abruptly announced that the framework of a deal
had been reached with the head of NATO
over the semi-autonomous territory of Greenland.
I think it's a really good deal for
everybody.
And the details are still scarce.
But one thing both Greenland and Denmark's leaders
have reiterated is that sovereignty remains a red
line.
There's no need for US to acquire Greenland
in order to accommodate their security concerns.
We have a defence agreement from 51.
We are open to discuss whether there should
be any amendments.
Since 1951, under the Defence of Greenland Treaty,
Washington has had near unlimited access to the
territory to construct military facilities in coordination with
Danish authorities.
According to the New York Times, citing anonymous
diplomats, the framework could include an updated pact
to effectively create pockets of American soil in
the territory.
This would give the US greater control over
the land to assist Donald Trump's plans for
a Golden Dome missile defence program.
NATO has also been discussing a so-called
Arctic Century, a new mission in the region
similar to those in the Baltic Sea and
on Europe's eastern flank that would dial up
the alliance's defence.
So that's a good idea.
At the very beginning it says an agreement
with NATO.
NATO doesn't own Greenland.
That's just France 24.
No, that's what I've heard before.
They keep talking about an agreement with NATO.
No, that's wishful thinking.
But I like the idea just like embassies.
If you're in a US embassy, you are
on US soil.
So we could just create all these cool
embassy like green zones in Greenland.
Hey, how about that?
That are American soil and we give those
57,000 people a crust.
They all seem to be on the edge
of the beach there.
You know, that's where all those homes are.
You know, kind of in one spot.
Yeah, because it's one spot where they can
huddle up and fish.
And then you expand the 1951 agreement.
That's probably what it was all along.
They just wanted to make it, you know,
this part of the deal.
Yell, yell, yell.
I want the moon.
I want everything.
And then, hey, you know what?
I want the moon.
Where are those guys going?
Aren't they going?
I got an Artemis clip.
Play it.
Oh, oh, good.
Okay.
Artemis.
I'm excited.
Here we go.
The Artemis 2 mission is getting closer and
closer.
And now, NASA says, is your chance to
orbit the moon with the astronauts?
Well, kind of.
Your name can anyway.
Along with the four astronauts or the Orion
spacecraft, there's going to be an SD card.
And your name could be on it.
The mission may launch in early February.
That all depends on whether the vehicle and
the crew are ready.
And the weather, you know, the forecast.
It's pretty easy to submit your name at
NASA.gov. Or the name of that ex
you never, ever want to see again.
What was that?
That was NPR?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
I like the horrible laugh.
An SD card?
I mean, let's...
You're going to have an SD card on.
I mean, they used to carry a whole
car or whatever that vehicle, the lunar rover.
That dune buggy.
A huge dune buggy on these things.
And now they can only barely get an
SD card on.
Can't we send one of those 22 terabyte
drives with all the no agenda shows on
it and all the jingles and everything?
So that, you know, the green...
We don't even need...
We're under a terabyte for all that stuff.
22 terabytes, you can put a lot of
good stuff on there.
Well, we have producers who have stuff to
add.
You know, we could create an open repository.
The drive's probably too heavy for the mission.
Oh, man.
Yeah, the moon.
But they're not even landing on the moon,
are they?
No, not this time.
They're going to flip around it.
Which is the furthest in space anyone's ever
been.
That's how they're billing it.
Yeah, I don't know how that works, but
that's what they're saying.
And so they're going to flip around it,
which means they still have to go through
the Van Allen belts, which is one of
the issues.
And so we'll find out about that if
they do it.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Well, I always have to remember when Elon
Musk launched his Roadster into space with the
spacesuit guy in it.
Yeah, with the dummy, with the crash dummy.
Yeah, and then he says, I know it
looks like, well, at the time we didn't
have AI, we called it CGI.
He says, I know it looks like CGI,
but it's real, man.
It's real.
It's really up there.
Where is that thing?
Well, that's a good question.
I think it's probably gone into the deep
space.
It borders on a great question.
It borders on a great question, but it's
not because there's no such thing.
Anyway, before we take a break and have
a very short thank you for a couple
of people who supported the show today, following
along with what you pegged right away with
the prediction markets, Washington is under the loop.
On these websites like Polymarket and Cal-She,
gambling or betting or purchasing contracts on political
events is becoming increasingly more popular.
As I mentioned in my story, people are
betting on when the White House briefing will
start, what the press secretary will say.
They're betting on geopolitical events.
They're betting on legislation.
There's an active bet right now about whether
or not the government will shut down this
weekend.
As that becomes more and more prevalent, people
who are in Washington are uniquely positioned to
potentially misuse information that they have access to
to profit on these websites, which is why
advocates and experts are saying there need to
be more rules in place.
One of the most fascinating parts of your
piece was the revelation that there are two
places in Washington where these prediction sites are
inaccessible.
One, where it is, where are these locations,
and does that reveal to you there are
fears of a possible new form of insider
trading, as you alluded to?
Right.
As you said, there are at least two
places in Washington where access to PolyMarket and
Calshi is blocked on the Internet.
That would be the White House press Wi
-Fi in the briefing room that reporters use
and the Wi-Fi in the House of
Representatives that reporters and other members of people
who are there use.
That would really seem to suggest a sort
of awareness in the wake of all this
discussion about betting on what's happening in the
briefing room.
The White House has been sort of quiet,
but the fact that they blocked PolyMarket and
Calshi on the White House would suggest that
they sensed a potential for some sort of
a problem.
Can't you just use your cell phone?
Why do people on the White House Wi
-Fi?
It's the last thing I would connect to.
We've got to get into this.
That's a good point.
We've got to get into this prediction market.
I think we could make a killing.
I want to bet on it.
Well, we'd definitely be good at it.
I want to bet on the winner of
the Eurovision Song Contest.
Oh, we could get those long, yeah, the
way you make a killing with the long
shots.
Surefire long shot.
That's the kicker.
You know, everyone's doing filing lawsuits about X.
This is the problem.
This is just gambling for kids.
These prediction markets.
Before we jump to that, I have a
clip that could take us right into the
donations.
Can I do something beforehand?
Because it was a good idea.
I want to ask the robot where Elon
Musk's Roadster is.
Yes, why don't you do that?
Robot, what is the current location of Elon
Musk's Roadster and Spaceman that he sent into
space years ago?
That Roadster with Starman in the driver's seat
is currently in a heliocentric orbit, essentially orbiting
the sun.
You can actually track its approximate location on
websites that provide real-time simulations of its
path.
It's quite a journey.
Okay, that was...
So it's melted.
It's underwhelming.
This is an underwhelming answer.
This robot's no good.
The robot's no good.
It's no good.
All right, what do we have?
I have a good lead us right into
the donation.
This is the old...
Now, this is an interesting clip.
This is floating around.
It's an old coot.
I clipped it twice.
Old farts, the other one.
Same clip.
And it sounds like it was done in
the 40s or something, but in fact, this
is a...
Because based on the information he provides, this
is some old fart that's on TikTok with
this commentary, which I thought was relevant.
We wanted to see the brain.
So somebody invented the MRI.
Wanted to see bones.
Invented the x-ray.
Wanted to see babies in the womb.
Ultrasound.
Hell, we got CAT scans, PET scans, 3D
imaging.
We got machines that can look through clothes
at the airport.
We got satellites that can read a license
plate from space.
They can print organs now.
They can do remote surgery with a robot
sitting in another state.
So would somebody please explain to me why
my doctor's gotta stick his finger up my
ass?
And with that, I want to thank you
for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man
who put the sea in the coo that's
afoot.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
DeMorais!
Hey, my name's John C.
DeMorais.
Seamless and graphy in the air.
Subs in the water and the dames and
knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the
troll room.
Let me count you for a second.
There you go.
Okay.
1,536.
Okay.
By the way, the robot could have just
said, where's the Tesla Roadster.com?
The troll room is better than the robot.
That's not good.
No, but that's, and this is the Gemini.
I'm tapped into the Gemini API right now.
And it's just, it's all so disappointing.
You guys talk about that.
Did you do a DH unplugged this week?
I haven't listened yet.
Yeah, we do it every week.
And what was Andrew saying about the AI
trade?
What does he think?
Is it going to blow up soon?
What's the thinking?
There's no evidence it's going to blow up
soon.
How about the dollar?
The dollar went down.
Yeah, it went down, but everyone's, I think,
a little overdoing it.
I look at it.
What is it today?
It's like about 19, Europe versus the US.
Around 120.
Is it 120?
Around 120.
It was 119 last I saw.
And a penny is a big deal.
I heard Trump say, I can make it
go up and down like a yo-yo
whenever I want.
I'm not sure he can, but he said
that.
I don't remember him saying that.
I should have clipped it.
Yeah.
And he says, good, I like it.
I like the dollar like this.
All those other countries were always devaluing, and
now without saying it, we've done it, I
guess.
How do you devalue?
Just by printing money?
You say it.
You do it by printing money.
Well, everyone's out there now.
It's going to collapse.
I'm going to have a collapse.
Exactly.
There's always going to be a collapse.
You can say that.
You can say it all the time, eventually
be right.
And with gold.
Gold, man, we should have gotten in that
gold advertising a long time again.
Ago.
Yeah, should have.
We could have gotten paid in gold.
Or silver.
I know somebody had a gold bar once.
Don't start.
All right, everybody.
Thank you for tuning in, you trolls.
They're listening at noagendastream.com.
There's always something live going on at noagendastream
.com, which is just dynamite.
And if you use the Modern Podcast app,
and there are many who have this functionality
at podcastapps.com, when you subscribe, like if
you're following Planet Rage, of course you follow
the No Agenda show.
When we go live, when those guys go
live, boom, you get a notification.
I think it's like Tuesday or Wednesday, whenever
they do that.
I'm usually walking the dog like, oh, oh,
they're live.
Boom, I listen.
And if I'm tired of listening to them
and I want to get the podcast, the
minute, like 90 seconds after we upload the
show, boom, it's available on those apps.
That's the kind of app you want.
Don't settle for less from some of those
Silicon Valley companies who just can't do what
we're doing because we're agile.
Value for value is the name of the
game for us, which means we give you
the show.
Been doing it for over 18 years.
We give you the entire program.
We don't have any restrictions.
It's no premium content somewhere else.
We're not available on FAST. This is a
new acronym I learned, FAST. What's FAST?
FAST, it's Free Ad Supported Television.
Supposedly, this is, they're really picking up the
FASTS.
So that's Pluto.
Wait, wait, free ad supported television, that's different
than broadcast television.
How?
Because it's streaming.
It's only streaming.
It's not broadcast.
But it's the same thing basically.
It's ads.
Look, I'm just giving you some information from
out there in the world.
This is what it's called.
And now you're arguing about whether it's broadcast
or not.
That's not the point.
No, I'm not arguing that.
They make it sound as though it's like
a great new idea.
Golly, no one's ever thought of this before.
Well, the reason I bring it up is
because more and more people are giving, I
mean, this is what I'm hearing.
They're thinking or are actively starting to give
up their subscriptions to one or more of
the many subscriptions they have.
A, and this is a complaint you and
I have, because there's nothing good on it
anymore.
And if you want to see old muck,
you might as well just get 2B or
Pluto and just watch that and deal with
the ads.
We've come full circle.
I mean, come on.
Has there been anything good on any of
these streamers lately?
We talk about it after the show.
By the way, we are giving you a
behind-the-scenes look after the show, after
we've had all of this fantastic...
We grouse at each other.
We grouse like, well, what are you watching?
There's nothing good.
There's nothing.
Well, I brought Eddie into the conversation as
best I could, and he can't find anything,
except he says Turan is kind of worth
watching, so I tried watching it.
Unwatchable.
It's kind of unwatchable.
It's a little...
I don't mind the...
Here's the problem I have with some of
these things like Turan, which is an Apple
TV show, and I've had it with other
shows, too.
When you get older, and by older, I
mean anybody over 40, suspense is annoying.
Yeah, right.
It must be the low T, because ever
since I got my T measured and I'm
low, I'm like, suspense is annoying.
Everything's annoying.
It's just no good.
I don't see how low T would affect
annoyance, but I will say that it's annoying.
I mean, super good suspense people like Alfred
Hitchcock actually, unfortunately, made it popular, but nobody
can do it as well as he does,
so it's annoying.
Nobody...
It's like a farce.
Farces are very difficult to pull off as
a dramatic...
Give an example of a farce.
A farce is the Frasier show was mostly
farces.
And a farce is typically a misunderstanding taken
to a maximum limit.
And the great farces that were produced on
Broadway, they tend to come out of England.
England is the great farcers.
For people who like to see farces...
Mother farcers.
They're the mother of all farcers.
The mother farcers.
There are.
And the two great ones are Noises Off,
for people that ever get to see it
on Broadway, Noises Off is one of them,
and was something with my wife.
Follow your wife.
Isn't it also a lot of those...
And the British shows do this a lot
where they're coming in and out of doors,
and the next person comes in, and they've
misunderstood it, and then they leave, and another
person...
Yeah, that's a farce.
That's a farce, yeah.
And a lot of doors opening and closing.
A Run For Your Wife is a really
good one.
That's where a guy who's a bigamist ends
up in the hospital and his two wives
come to see him, but never at the
same time quite, and he's trying to keep
them from both showing up.
It's a very good farce, Run For Your
Wife, and there's a bunch of them.
When I go to London, which I don't
do anymore, but when I used to go
all the time, I would always see a
farce.
You won't even be allowed in anymore.
They'll be at the border like, oh, Dvorak.
They don't let anybody get cut out.
You know, you're Vlade Vlerk, and Michael Savage
won't get allowed.
What was her nickname for her?
I think it was McGillicuddy or something.
Eva McGillicuddy.
I'll remember it now, Eva McGillicuddy.
Anyway, yeah, so people, and eventually they're all
going to get sick of watching podcasts on
YouTube.
It's a cycle.
It takes about six, seven years.
We're now in year three, year two.
And there is an advertising cycle, too, that
you and I both know of, because we've
seen it collapse at least twice.
And it's due for a third collapse.
Yes, and we're due for a third awakening.
All these things are happening.
The season of reveal is upon us, ladies
and gentlemen.
Value for value can be returned to us
in many ways, time, talent, or treasure.
And we always thank our supporters, our financial
supporters, who are critical, critical for our mission.
And it doesn't take much.
It can be just five bucks a show,
or whatever value you get out of it,
send it back to us.
If you're spending two, three hours listening to
us, you must be getting something out of
it.
Just think of it as a cup of
frappuccino.
Not even.
Frappuccino is more than five bucks.
That's all we expect, is just a cup
of coffee.
And I might want to point out that
even with inflation and the devaluation of the
dollar, we have never changed the level ratio
for becoming a knight.
We've never changed it.
No.
It's worth about 600 bucks now.
Yeah, it's a deal.
20 years, 18 years, yeah.
It's a deal.
He said, it's a deal, man.
It's a deal and a steal.
Exactly.
Of course, time, talent, treasure.
We talked about the treasure.
Time and talent done in many different ways.
So, for instance, you're going to a meetup
this Saturday.
Oakland.
It's a perfect example of people putting together
a meetup.
You know, you've got to organize.
You've got to make sure people are coming
and it's appreciated.
These are things that help the show, always
help the show.
Particularly if you treat John like a bride
at a Jewish wedding and stick envelopes full
of cash to his back with scotch tape.
We recommend gaffer tape.
And then there's art.
And this is interesting for today's episode.
Or actually, episode 1837, which we titled, Moral
Injury.
Lawsuits are coming.
Darren O'Neill just nailed it once again
with the No Agenda Cosmic Barrier condom, which
because it didn't have kind of like a
circular impression in it, I think it took
everybody maybe three or four seconds to realize
what they were looking at.
But when we saw this we just cracked
up.
And Darren sent us the actual prompts and
what he went through to create this art.
And I thought this was interesting to communicate
to the potential artists out there, or prompters.
Here was his prompt.
And I'm surprised at how simple this was.
Yeah, his prompts are pretty simple.
I've gotten them from him every so often
when I want one.
Square aspect ratio, photorealistic, product mock-up, and
then, all caps, No Agenda Space Condom, produced
by the Curry & Dvorak Company, made especially
for no-gravity fornication.
Make the packaging vibrant and space-themed.
To which he got from ChatGBT, where he's
making this, apparently.
I can't generate or generate I can't create
or generate sexual content or imagery for someone
under 18, including product concepts centered on sex
or explicit activity.
If you have another design idea that's non
-sexual, like a parody space cadet, sci-fi
snack, or humorous No Agenda Space product, I'm
happy to help bring that to life.
And then Darren gets into an actual conversation,
an argument, with his bot.
Well, but I'm 55.
And this thing keeps on coming back.
No, I believe you.
I'm genuinely sorry for the friction this creates.
It's not about me doubting you, Darren.
This specific chat session is operating under a
teen-safe mode flag, which hard-locks certain
categories.
And so, Darren had to go around it,
and then he said, just make it No
Agenda Zero-G Safety Sleeve, No Agenda Orbital
Wrapper, No Agenda Space Protector, No Agenda Cosmic
Barrier.
And somehow, he got it to work.
But, what's kind of weird is that he
had this whole conversation, I put it in
the show notes, this whole conversation with the
chat bot.
I'm getting a little concerned about Darren.
I mean, this stuff could reel you in.
Well, he's producing quality product.
Yeah, but he's talking to it like it's
a human.
Well, it thinks it is.
It does not think.
No, it doesn't think it is.
It's programmed to behave that way.
Yes.
It's bogus.
It is.
But he has to deal with it, because
this is like, you know, it's like a
nut that you can't get to fit on
the screw on the threads.
It won't fit, because something's wrong.
You've got to force it on.
Oh, Darren said that's what ChatGPT suggested.
Okay.
Well, anyway.
You know what, Darren?
It worked.
It was good.
And I'm sure you couldn't do the little
round circle impression thing.
That would have violated its terms of service.
You could have done that by Photoshop, if
you could.
Oh, please.
No one's going to do any, no one's
doing any extra work.
Yeah, somebody could.
I think we had a, and knowagendaartgenerator.com
is where you can upload your prompted beauties.
Let me see.
Was there anything else we liked?
That was pretty much it.
I like something I think Jeffrey Rea did,
I used for the newsletter.
If I can't find, I'm looking for it.
Or Blue Acorn, by the way.
Blue Acorn's doing stuff again.
Blue Acorn's really cranking it up because he,
you know, he wasn't mentioned the way I
see it.
Right.
Yeah, if we don't mention, all right, so
let's mention, comic strip blogger, Rocket Boy, Jeffrey
Rea, I don't see Scaramanga, didn't mention him,
so Scaramanga left.
That was the Scaramanga piece I used for
the newsletter.
Ah, yes, right.
Yes, the Snow Games, yeah.
That was a good piece.
Very good piece.
I don't think, was that uploaded when we
were looking for it?
I don't know, I don't think so, because
I would have noticed it.
I was kind of surprised when I saw
it, I don't see it now.
I mean, maybe it came and went, I
don't know.
No, I see it, I see it on
the right hand side.
Anyway, knowagendaartgenerator.com, the value is right there
in the prompting.
Thank you so much.
And now, as we thank everyone, $50 and
above, we start with our executive and associate
executive producers.
We are, after all, Hollywood guys.
And we like to give these credits out
because they're real and they are something that
you can keep forever.
They last your lifetime.
You can ensconce this, you can eternalize this
at imdb.com, in fact...
Eternalize.
I said internalize.
Eternalize this at imdb.com.
It might have already been done for you,
interestingly.
Some friend of the show seems to be
doing this for people, but we're okay with
that, I guess.
Although people like to maintain their own accounts.
And of course, you can put it on
your social media profile, on your LinkedIn.
You can call yourself a podcast producer.
You might get gigs out of it.
Side hustle.
It sounds good.
$200 or above gets you an associate executive
producer credit and we will read your note.
$300 and above, an executive producer credit and
we also read your note.
And there's no note to read for our
top exec today.
Chris Moore from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Comes in with $590.
No note, so if you want to send
that for the next show, we'll read it,
Chris.
In the meantime, you get a double up
karma.
You've got karma.
And you can take this one from Dalton.
Why?
I don't want to take it.
I can't read it.
It's just no good.
I have the same problem.
Okay, I'm one of your many Zoomer listeners.
I'm an older Zoomer, 28 years old.
We love the Zoomers.
The Zeds who listen are smart and they're
here to get educated and they know that,
yeah, we talk about Bakelite phones, but you're
going to learn something.
You will learn things that are good for
your future in this world.
I believe so.
And this Zoomer has not missed an episode
in almost 12 years, so he started listening
when he was 16.
After listening to Sunday's show, I felt compelled
to donate and to say this.
Congratulations!
The stupid-ass clip of Scott Simon talking
about exploding trees is the single worst clip
you have ever played on the No Agenda
show.
Yes, the premise of the clip is asinine,
but here are some Scott Simon journalistic gems
I think you missed.
One, Scott asks what a cracking tree sounds
like.
The guy says, it sounds like a large
cracking sound.
I can't believe we didn't catch that.
Two, Scott asks if any trees crack more
than others.
The guy says, maple trees, hardwood trees, and
conifer trees.
In other words, all trees.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Then the guy says this only happens if
the temperature is under minus 20 degrees.
Scott says, that's pretty cold, isn't it?
Wow, what a journalist.
Thanks, Scott Simon.
Truly, NPR is America's national treasure.
Yes, you have his own podcast.
He makes around $450,000 a year, by
the way, he says.
I hate this clip.
It is a prime example of how listening
to the media actually makes you dumber.
Good thing no one listens to NPR but
you two.
Everyone's just watching TikTok and Instagram, and if
your blue-collar company still isn't posting high
enough quality content on social media, oh, here
we go.
Check out fishermultimedia.com.
Oh, he slips in.
He slips in a side hustle.
We scrape, shoot, and edit and post all
of your content for you so you don't
have to.
Hey, here's an idea.
Why don't you do some of that for
the No Agenda show?
Now, he says he does lawn care, landscapers,
roofers, plumbers, contractors.
We got you covered.
We made over 117 posts with at least
1 million views each, all organically.
We're based in Phoenix, but we travel nationwide
to shoot video.
Visit fishermultimedia.com or email...
Yeah, give us a bone.
Yeah, let's do that.
Please.
By the way, he becomes a knight today,
which I'm so happy to hear.
It was $369.12. Well, he's spot on
with the deconstruction of Scott Simon.
Yes, and I would say we enjoy the
products of people who have plugs as executive
and associate executive producers.
If you're any good, you won't even have
to plug.
We'll talk about it.
I know John hates me saying that.
We talk about a lot of stuff.
We like a product, we'll tell you.
If you got this service, looking forward to
it.
He says, please play the Scott Simon jingle
for me to celebrate my knighting, and please
order me some PlayStation 2 and PT Scotch
for the round table.
God bless, gents.
The show has never been better.
Suffer and succotash.
I'm Scott Simon.
Dynamo.
Good.
Then we go to Alex Pellegrino in Franklin,
Tennessee, the hub of Tennessee.
$350.
No note here, so we'll give him a
double up karma.
Pretty sure I know Alex.
You've got karma.
I'll get the next one too, because that
one was too short.
I'm going to go to Bill Taus or
Daus, possibly, in Pasadena, California, 333.33, and
he rebelize aristocrats, Bill Taus, rebelize, I don't
know what he's saying there, but that's what
it came in as a note.
Hi, Bill.
Oh, I see what you did.
Okay.
That was really funny, John.
So now I get to read this long
note again.
I'll take two in a row.
I'm a nice guy.
I'll just do two, no problem, because you
know that there it is, Christine from Raleigh,
North Carolina, 333.33, and she says, Hi,
Adam.
I work at a large venue in Raleigh,
North Carolina, as a ticket taker, so when
many folks come through my lane this weekend,
who were sitting in section 333, I knew
it was a sign to donate.
That's how it works.
I'm also a professional event planner.
I sent you an email inviting you to
come to North Carolina.
I didn't receive a response, so maybe if
there's some money attached to the invitation, it
helps.
Plane tickets, money, hotel room, it will carry
more weight.
Please come to North Carolina.
I've been listening to the show since...
What are you going to do there?
I don't know.
I can't remember this email, so she'll have
to send it to me again.
I've attended many meetups since then.
Y'all have a lot of loyal listeners
here, and I'm surprised at how many I've
met that have been listening since day one.
I would love to work with you and
the many folks here in our great community
to plan and host a good old Southern
shindig.
You know, Tina and I would be happy
to come to North Carolina in the summer.
Let's do it in the summer.
I think spring and fall is better, but
North Carolina is dynamite, as long as it
includes whole pig barbecue.
Yes, that is a must.
Whole hog.
That is a must.
I'm hoping all the infamous North Carolina knights
and dames and those aspiring to be who
donate and listen regularly will consider this an
invitation as well.
Thank you for your courage, Christine in North
Carolina, and if you want her contact details,
you can email us, and we'll give them
to you if you're looking for an event
planner.
Yeah, well let's send me another email, Christine.
I can't remember it, so I guess I
didn't see it, but thank you.
Tina and I do always try to at
least go to another state once a year
for one of the meetups.
We do all the meetups local as much
as we can, but it would be fun.
North Carolina, we've done South Carolina.
Let's do North Carolina.
Raleigh's a good area too.
Meanwhile, also in North Carolina in Carrboro, which
I have no idea where that is, Sir
Erie, $300.
Sir Erie here, love the show.
Please play The Shape-Shifting Jews and some
relationship karma, which is much needed and appreciated.
Please.
Thank you for your courage.
The Shape-Shifting Jews You've got karma.
And we're at Linda Lou Pack in Castle
Rock, Colorado.
We know what she wants, jobs karma.
It's always the same, and for a reason.
Because for a competitive edge with a resume
that gets results, you can just go to
ImageMakersInc.com.
It's for all of your executive resume and
job search needs.
That is ImageMakersInc with a K, and work
with Linda Lou.
She's the Duchess of Jobs and writer of
winning resumes.
One of our daughters.
She works in this program.
I think she's like a Forest Ranger now,
or something in Illinois.
And I think it's only a two-year
thing.
She's been there a year, and so the
company said, alright, everybody.
We want you to write your resume, and
we've hired this company who will then review
it and send it back.
What do you think happened?
They sent the AI.
Exactly.
They just literally charged this company money, took
the resumes that these young people wrote, ran
it through ChadGPT, whatever it spit out, they
sent it back and said, look, this is
much better.
Can you believe that nonsense?
Yeah, I can believe it.
Go to ImageMakersInc.com if you want resumes
that get results.
Best from Linda Lou.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for Jobs.
Consultants.
Oh, that was it.
That was the last one.
That was it.
Yeah, you hit the bottom right there.
That was a quickie.
We didn't get a lot of support this
show.
No, we didn't.
But we will continue because hopefully I'll get
a couple more of those silver coins at
the meetup.
There's two.
Baron of San Francisco and somebody else always
gives me a silver coin.
I think they're going to probably hold on
to them now.
Well, the ones we got, we got them
at like, because I remember we got some
donated and I think you sent my half.
They've doubled in value by now.
I think they're more now.
Right now, I think silver's up to over
110.
What is going on with that?
Will they just keep, is there a top
to this trend?
Well, it turns out, if you want to
know the story.
Yes, of course.
Although it was explained on Horowitz.
Yeah, I hadn't listened yet.
You should listen.
So they discovered, there's a new patent by
Samsung that is employing silver into the anode
to make a silver carbon anode, I think
is what it is, for electric batteries for
lithium ion that doesn't produce dendrites.
And it's the dendrites which is the little
crystalline formations that take place in a battery
structure that crack the battery or catch the
battery on fire or hurt the battery's life
and all the rest of it.
So this thing will take a charge now,
a high speed charge without making dendrites.
It'll last longer if it goes through thousands
more cycles and it doesn't wear out so
fast.
It's a killer.
And it's going to chew and people started
doing the calculation on how much silver is
going to be needed just for the lithium
ion technology using these anodes.
And the number was like, well, that's a
little more than the supply that's currently available.
And wait a minute, there's a huge shortfall.
Now all these guys are doing calculations on
Bank of America and J.P. Morgan who
have both shorted to death silver.
I thought they were, but they already went
long.
Didn't they all flip to long?
They've been trying to buy back, but they
can't buy back fast enough.
Because there's not enough supply.
And so they created this ridiculous situation where
it's a sense of realization, oh my god,
the silver has been purposefully manipulated.
But manipulated on the downside.
And now that everyone's coming to this realization,
all the shorts have to cover and everything
in between.
People are expecting it to go to $400.
But I don't want to discourage anyone from
giving me a silver coin at current prices.
That's interesting because Max Keiser has been saying
this for at least 10 years.
He was saying, silver, we need to create
a run on silver.
That'll ruin the...
This is not a run on silver.
This is a calculation that was done and
everyone looks at the numbers and says, we
haven't got enough silver for what you're proposing
here.
We need to get more silver into this.
It's not like a run on silver.
It's a new technology.
I think that was the last straw that
this battery thing, it was the last straw
that broke the camel's back and now silver
is like, wait a minute, were you okay?
Well, let's rethink this.
And boom, now silver is way up there.
I keep looking at that Donut Lab battery
and someone sent me a video of this
guy.
He was at maybe CES or some type
of conference talking about the battery.
But then he sent me another video.
The same guy also is running some kind
of AI company that has real intelligence.
I'm like, oh, okay.
There's something fishy about this guy.
Something fishy about that guy.
Hey, thank you very much, executive and associate
executive producer.
We thank the rest of our supporters for
today.
$50 and above in our second segment.
Congratulations with your credits.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
Maybe we should go digging for silver.
Maybe there's some silver mines that we can
find.
I've got to buy us a silver mine.
Yeah, there's something.
I have a drunk or not drunk clip.
Okay, where's your clip?
Chick drunk or not drunk?
Maybe she's not drunk.
Okay, we'll find out.
Another Friday night question for the chat.
Should broke men be allowed to date?
Allowed is doing a lot of work.
My mom is literally listening to this on
TikTok live right now.
This has not been something I've been pondering,
but I want to know what y'all
think.
It was hilarious listening because somebody, some woman
was like, oh, you know, he doesn't have
any money.
We'll just build him up.
You know, we'll just build up his confidence,
get him some skills.
And someone was like, this ain't build a
bear.
What is this?
Another man was like, oh, they ain't got
no money.
They can't get into the game and play
all four quarters.
Just tremendous commentary, but chat, let me know.
What do you think?
Allowed is kind of a crazy thing, but
should you date if you don't have any
money?
Men.
No, not drunk.
You know what?
She sounds like, was she white or black,
this lady?
She's a white girl, and I think she's
drunk.
Did you see Nicki Minaj?
No, I've heard about this, the clip where
she goes off on how great Trump is
or which one?
Yes.
Well, first, let's hear Trump going off on
how great she is.
This was during the Trump accounts announcement.
Actually, I think that's only 30 seconds.
Let me play the Trump account announcement.
President Donald Trump is urging families to sign
up for the so-called Trump accounts when
they file their 2025 income tax returns.
The president joined Treasury Secretary Scott Besson CEOs
and investors at an all-day summit today
in Washington.
The accounts are set to become active in
July.
Under President Trump's signature tax and spending legislation,
the federal government will deposit $1,000 for
every baby born between 2025 and 2028.
It's like all these different people are jumping
in, like the Dells are giving $500 per
baby.
Did I hear JP Morgan might be doing
something?
Yeah, I heard this too.
I'll top it.
I'll top it all for you.
But it's not tax deductible.
It's not a gift in that regard.
It's not a grant.
No.
What is the benefit?
Is there a financial benefit or is it
just look at me?
It supposedly goes into an account that accrues.
Yeah, but that's for the baby, not for
the person who puts it in.
Yeah, it's for the baby.
Yeah, but is there any benefit for the
people giving the money other than just being
a good person?
I'm sure there has to be.
Good person, what?
We're also pleased.
My daughter, she went crazy when she heard
that this was, I want to go.
She happens to be in the wrong state
right now for that, but when she heard
that there's a certain person that's here who's
the greatest and most successful female rapper in
history, Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj.
Come on.
And Nicki makes a lot of cash.
Not as much as Michael Dell, not quite.
Not as much, but that's okay.
But Nicki makes a lot of money and
she's actually stepping up.
She's investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in
Trump accounts to support the children and really
the children of her incredible fans.
That's great.
Focus on that.
Why should you give to somebody else's fans?
Give to your fans.
I like that.
And I just think she's great.
I've been hearing so much over the years
because I didn't know Nicki and I've been
hearing over the years she's a big Trump
supporter or a Trump fan and she took
a little heat on occasion.
Her community isn't necessarily, I tell you, we
did pretty damn well with that, with your
community as we say.
There's an 80-year-old white man trying
to say black people.
Your community is your community.
But Nicki has been an unbelievable supporter.
She gets more, she gets almost as much
as Mr. Wonderful over here.
He's been another one.
Mr. Wonderful.
I'd like to ask you to come up,
Nicki.
Come on up.
Alright, so she comes on up and now
I'm fulfilling a wish from a couple of
our female producers who said, do you only
play black women clips when they're mad and
retarded and crazy?
I said, well, that's a good point.
So, here you go.
I play very few black women clips who
are mad and retarded and crazy.
You're the one that plays the Obama phone.
That's what they're talking about.
That would have actually been, that would have
been better.
Let me see, so if we, hold on
a second, where's Trump here?
Okay.
So, there we go.
She gets more, she gets almost as much
as Mr. Wonderful over here.
He's been another one.
It's been so good, but I'd like to
ask you to come up, Nicki.
Come on up.
No, that was not Nicki Minaj.
Here's Nicki Minaj.
Hello.
Well, I don't know what to say, but
I will say that I am probably Did
you hear that?
She's hyperventilating.
She's actually, she's nervous.
She's nervous.
She's with the president and she's now, and
it's a little not as different.
She's hyperventilating.
She's nervous.
That's funny.
But she regains her composure quickly.
Well, I don't know what to say, but
I will say that I am probably the
president's number one fan.
And that's not going to change.
And the hate or what people have to
say, it does not affect me at all.
It actually motivates me to support him more.
And it's going to motivate all of us
to support him more.
We're not going to let them get away
with bullying him and, you know, the smear
campaigns.
It's not going to work.
Okay?
He has a lot of force behind him
and God is protecting him.
Amen.
And nailed it.
Got two communities in one.
Got the black people and the Christians with
Nicki Minaj.
Right on, Nicki.
I thought that was...
The whole thing just sounds good.
It's fun that everyone's jumping in on it.
I'm glad that she's taken a side and
doesn't sound like Molly Ringwald.
Speaking of music artists, Kanye West is now
apologizing.
Yay.
Formerly Kanye West apologized for his anti-Semitic
remarks and other behavior in a full-page
ad he bought in the Wall Street Journal.
He said he lost touch with reality, regrets
his actions, and is not a Nazi or
anti-Semite.
Yay also apologized to the black community and
said his wife encouraged him to get help
after hitting rock bottom.
He says he now follows a treatment plan
for his bipolar disorder, including medication, therapy, and
clean living.
And of course, the timing is always a
purpose.
The apology comes ahead of his new album,
Bully, which is set to drop soon.
It's dropping.
The album's dropping.
Pick it up.
Since we're on black people.
Well, I was on musicians, but okay.
And anti-Semites.
I can stay with the anti-Semites.
This is an anti-Semite.
They're going after Candace.
Yeah.
Yeah, they are.
Because she can't pronounce words, and she keeps
making these mistakes.
She's getting like, I'm thinking, well, maybe we
can substitute her stuff for Reverend Al's, which
is not quite as silly.
Because it's usually single words.
And this one here, somebody put on this
website.
Oh, this is the compilation?
No, it's a compilation of one word.
She's trying to say compartmentalize.
Now, you can say compartmentalize.
Compartmentalize.
And you can say it.
And after you listen to this, you'll never
be able to say it again.
Because she keeps pronouncing it some crazy way.
And so it becomes what you're going to
hear.
We want the CEO and the chairman of
Turning Point USA to answer.
Okay?
If you can't compartmentalize, then I don't see
how you're going to be able to.
We don't like them.
We don't agree with the industries they went
into.
All of that can be true.
But you have to be able to compartmentalize
that when you're looking at a case.
Long before this ever broke out between her
and Justin Baldoni.
We have to compartmentalize.
Blake Lively is not a good person.
Or Donald Trump from the hashtag MeToo movement.
It is very important to compartmentalize how you
feel about somebody personally.
From how you are.
To compartmentalize.
That's so low.
Comprimentalize, okay?
Now I have to say it that way.
Comprimentalize.
It's hard to go back to compartmentalize.
Well, I know you got this clip as
well.
I just had to play it because it
was just so crazy.
Speaking of Turning Point USA, I know you
yelled at the person who sent this clip
to us.
But I'm like, oh, I'm going to clip
that.
It's good.
This is the Arizona RNC committee woman.
And this has to be, Liz Harris is
her name.
And this has to be from a couple
of years ago, I'm thinking.
Because she talks about TPUSA as if Charlie
Kirk is still alive.
So maybe a year ago.
But just so you know, almost odd, baby.
All of it.
The other very delicate thing we have going
on is all this stuff with Israel.
Now, Thaler is Jewish.
Breger is Jewish.
When I say Jewish, I mean like, they're
very Jewish.
they have gold staining.
There's so many names I can throw out.
That I do believe.
When we look at Turning Point and we
look at all of this, I do see
Mossad.
I see again, there's so many other things.
I'm connecting dots.
I think Alex Jones is controlled by them.
Charlie Kirk is controlled by them.
Steve Bannon.
I can't believe nobody has killed me.
I really can't.
That's the best.
I have no idea why.
Because God is protecting right now.
There's a lot of people that need to
say goodnight right now, but nobody gets to
do anything unless God gives it permission.
And I'm with you, Liz.
I mean, I've already had people show up
to my door from what I've exposed.
But I'm still alive.
I'm about to be alive.
Man, John, we're lucky to be alive.
You know, with all the things we've exposed.
Shapeshifting Jews.
Yeah, but we do it from an objective.
We're so objective in the middle of everything
that we don't draw attention to ourselves because
we're not taking political positions.
We're just showing what a bunch of boneheads
everyone is.
And everyone, that includes, you know, stupid stuff.
By the way, I did catch a Trump
clip.
I think it's on here.
I think the reason is because we don't
do video.
If you do video, that's when people clip
you and you get mocked.
Maybe.
We probably...
We are OG.
By the way, Trump used the term OG
recently.
We're OG podcasters, which is an audio format
that was developed largely by you, the originator.
And it doesn't include videos.
It's YouTube.
It requires all kinds of...
It costs more.
Yes.
We're trying to keep costs low.
Like running stuff on Linux.
Especially with today's donations.
Trying to run stuff on Linux, you know,
so we don't have to pay for upgrades.
This is how bad it's gotten.
Linux.
It's supposed to be an upgrade I'm working
on.
All right.
What's your Trump clip?
Unfortunately, I spelled Trump Trump.
But this is a little subtlety that I
caught.
Wait a minute.
So just play this clip and then we'll
talk about it.
Oh, wait.
Stop.
Stop the clip.
This is from...
Now he's got a new speech.
He's rolling out every city once a week.
This is his Iowa speech.
This is his initial version.
He's going to be developing material.
Stand-up material.
And as it goes along about, I'd say,
six or seven weeks into it, since it's
kind of like workshopping it, he will have
some good jokes.
He's doing the comedy circuit.
So in about five, I think in about
five weeks, about a month from now, we'll
be able to clip stuff that's funny.
Most administrations achieve in four years or eight
years, and we've done a lot.
I've recently introduced my plan to repair the
damage of the Unaffordable Care Act, the worst
disaster, which now costs many families more than
a mortgage.
If you look, a number came out.
It's a bigger cost than a mortgage, and
it's bad health care.
Obamacare was created to make insurance companies rich
with government subsidies.
I want all that money that gets paid
to the insurance companies to get paid directly
to the people.
That's all I want.
And what, the Unaffordable Care Act?
He's been saying that for weeks.
Has he?
Because I this is the first time I
noticed he slips in it as though that's
the term for it.
But he's been doing that for a long
time.
Okay, I just, I haven't caught it.
I'm going to show myself by donating to
No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fun.
But there's buffaloes.
Buffaloes.
Yep.
Well, we do have a few people to
thank despite my ignoring Trump saying Unaffordable Care
Act, which is funny.
We have a few people to thank.
$50 and up, and Adam's going to read
them off one by one and see if
he can see the difference between Mississippi and
Missouri.
Oh, okay.
Sir Hugger of Kitties comes in at the
top of this list.
123.45, and he says, more cat memes
brings more hugs.
Hug more kitties and health karma for my
aunt.
Yes.
Soon to be from the Free State of
Alberta.

Hey, wait a minute.
I'm missing.
Yes, I'm noticing this too.
Uh-oh.
Where is our Archduke of Luna?
Well, you know, he's going to be doing
it every show.
So something was a glitch.
There's a glitch in the system.
I hope he's okay.
No, he's fine.
We'll hear from him on the next show.
Anonymous is in Monrovia, Liberia, Washington and wants
to de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
I've been listening since episode one.
He's in West Africa, not Washington.
It says W Oh, you're right.
Liberia.
No, Western Australia.
No.
What is WA?
West Africa.
West Africa?
Yeah, Liberia.
Very famous place.
Okay, but you understand that that comes under
the state column.
So this is my confusion.
Yeah, that Liberia is the state, which is
a country, actually.
But you could be a little nicer about
it.
No, I'm just saying that it's West Africa,
not West Australia.
The only reason I say that is because
it's right at the top there.
You read the de-douching, but you didn't
see the West Africa.
Okay, you're a backseat donation driver.
That's what I mean.
I'm a backseat driver.
This is what you used to do to
me.
Except I read them faster than you.
I'm not going to deny that.
But after having two cataract surgeries Oh, I'm
playing the tiny violin.
Anonymous from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa.
There you go.
He's been listening since episode one and was
just tired of being a douchebag.

It's very annoying in that series.
Poor girl.
There you go.
What, The Crown?
Yeah, The Crown.
Yeah.

Now we have John's tip of the day
coming up.
We have some pretty nice end-of-show
mixes, some semi-toe tappers for you.
And we always like to play a couple
of end-of-show ISOs here for you.
This is the continuing, are these the same
thing?
No.
Continuing contest that John and I have.
It is man against the machine.
John is still using his free account on
11 Labs.
Let's see.
You put these in abeyance, I think, because
mine just killed last show.
So do you want to hear mine?
You had one good one.
Do you want to hear mine again or
do you want to?
Go for it.
Nothing makes sense.
No, I think one of these next two
is a possibility.
Oh, that's very beautiful.
Thank you.
That's our buddy Scott.
Want more from him?
Wow.
That's amazing.
Come on.
I got that same one.
Really?
Wow.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Play ISO amazing.
Yeah.
Wow.
How about that?
That's amazing.
Well, I think that would have to be
the one.
No, it doesn't.
Your other ones are four seconds.
They're too long.
Okay, let's go.
Well, that was the first joint pick.
It's a joint pick, everybody.
And you'll hear it.
But first, John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
All right.
I'm kind of a family force to promote
this product.
My wife is, I think a lot of
women are, obsessed with pressure washers.
They are handy things to have.
Yeah.
And she said four of these types, which
are, I mean, the gas ones, which are
the ones that can clean the driveways to
get the moss off.
Yeah.
After winter.
These aren't as necessary in California as there
are places like Washington.
But there is a electric pressure washer.
She thinks it's the best thing she's ever
run into.
It doesn't have the high pressure of a
gasoline one, but it's perfect for like wood
decks and furniture, patio furniture, and things outside
where you don't want to blow the paint
off stuff or rip up the deck, which
you will do with it.
These things are pretty expensive typically, aren't they?
179 bucks.
Hmm.
Okay.
That's not expensive.
And it's high pressure, but not too high
pressure.
It's 20.
It's the pressure.
No, it's not.
It's the, it's the electric ones are not
as high pressure as the gasoline ones, but
the convenience of the electric, you just hook
a hose up to it.
You flip a switch.
It's going to flip a switch.
You go take a break.
You flip it.
So you have to start it and start
it and pull and get the thing going.
And then you got to turn it off.
It's a pain in the ass.
It's horrible.
You have to be serious when you're using
a gas one with the electric one.
It's like a flip a switch.
You do it.
This is the Westinghouse WPX 2300 E or
electric, the Westinghouse WPX 2300 E.
And it should be mentioned that most of
these things fall apart.
They're poorly made.
She believes this to be one that will
hold up for season after season for years
and years, as opposed to breaking the second
year.
You have it.
Can you use it on, on the protesters,
like the videos where they use it on
your car, but protesters would be good.
But the fire hose is better.
We have a fire hose.
That's what you want.
All right.
Well, and, but will it clean like tire
stuff off of?
Oh yeah.
No, it's good for all that stuff.
Container.
You put soap in it actually.
I think I'm in the market for one
of these.
I think you could get one of these
and it would, you, it's good for cleaning
the car.
It's not going to rip off the paint.
It's easy to use.
It's small.
It's not a big monstrous thing.
Like a regular pressure washer.
They're huge.
They're crazy.
It's a, it's a genius device.
It sounds like, it sounds like a winner,
John.
It is.
It's a winner.
There it is.
And more winners can be found at noagendafund
.com, tipoftheday.net.
Yes.
All right.
Hey everybody.
You know what?
I got to do a quick, I got
to do a quick karma for Nick the
Rat here.
Hold on a second.
You've got karma.
He's up next on the No Agenda stream.
The New York City economy apparently has gotten
to him there in the sewer.
And so his latest episode will be up
next on the No Agenda stream.
If you're listening live.
End of show mixes coming to you from
MVP and Gary Youngling with a classic.
Sometimes they just never go out of style.
It's amazing how that works.
And we will return at our regularly scheduled
time, which will be, gosh, Sunday.
We'll do another three and a half hours
for you.
Whatever it takes to bring the world into
focus for you.
Deconstruct the media and show you how they
do it and how dumb it all really
is.
We love doing it.
Coming to you from the heart of the
