Time Text
You lean in this direction.
Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, October 20th, 2022.
This is your award-winning Gebo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1496.
This is no agenda.
Tossing off the trusses and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6.
6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley where we're looking for work for Liz Truss here in the valley.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
This morning it was so funny.
The emails just start streaming in.
Bling, bling, bling, bling.
You know, of course, from our British producers.
Right on the ball immediately.
And it's here in America.
It's stunning news!
Well, some absolutely stunning news.
The Prime Minister of Britain, Liz Truss, has resigned.
She's been on the job for about six weeks now.
Of course, it has been a tumultuous tenure.
This might be a Stunning!
record to tell you the truth but i'll have to sort of ask some historians about this stunning were you stunned by this news john well i wasn't it was expected she was going to end up waiting side at some point i I was actually a little surprised it was so soon.
I went back, I don't know if you picked up this clip, but it's under bonus clips, you should have it in your box.
I went back and picked up the last question, Prime Minister's Question Time, where you can hear When you heard this question time, it was a matter of, you know, it was over.
You could just tell they were laughing in her face.
It was really pathetic.
And she shows no, she doesn't have that, you know, like, The Prime Minister during question time tends to be nasty, and they give it back harder than they get it.
If you're a good one, yeah.
Yeah, if you're a good one.
The best that I've ever seen is Gilead, or whatever her name was down in Australia, the redhead.
Yeah, she was scary.
She was basically a mean person.
But she kept falling on her face.
Well, yeah.
Do you remember that?
No.
Yeah, yeah.
She kept falling off of her pumps, and she'd fall... Oh, yeah, she would.
Twice in a row.
Yes, she's probably never meant to wear high heels.
I have the clip.
This is five and a half minutes, this clip.
It's long, but you can interrupt it, but it's kind of... It gets better at the end.
I mean, they're just giving it to her, and it is long, but it's worth... You can see where she's losing it.
Prime Minister's Questions with Justin Mathers.
Question number one, please, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.
When the penny dropped for the Prime Minister on Monday and she realised that her budget was responsible for crashing the economy, she should have come to this House to explain herself and to That's right, she didn't show up, right?
They were waiting for her for an hour, I think, and she just didn't show up?
I think some like that, yeah.
Yeah, people are like, well, what's up with her?
Oh no, she's very busy.
She's doing other things.
Millions of people who will now be paying hundreds of pounds extra a month on their mortgages because of her mistakes.
But now she's here, can she tell us, given the absolute chaos her government has created, why the Chancellor lost his job but she kept hers?
Mr Speaker, I have been very clear that I am sorry and that I have made mistakes.
But the right thing to do in those circumstances is to make changes, which I've made, and to get on with the job and deliver for the British people.
And Mr. Speaker, we've delivered the energy price guarantee.
We've helped people this winter and I will continue to do that.
The leader of the opposition, Kirsten.
I miss this.
I miss this so much.
It's so much more fun to listen to.
Why don't we have stuff like that?
They do in Canada.
Canada's pretty rough up there, but they never play it so we can get hold of it.
But Canada's rougher than the Brits.
But these guys, this is the roughest I've ever been.
They're really just hooting at her.
And you can hear laughing out loud.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And there's some good gags.
There's a good gag I think is in this next segment where it's just a funny bit that the guy pulls on her and you'll hear it.
It's kind of subtle.
Thank you Mr Speaker.
A book is being written about the Prime Minister's time in office.
Apparently it's going to be out by Christmas.
Is that the release date or the title?
Mr Speaker, I have been in office for just under two months and I have delivered the energy price guarantee, making sure that people aren't paying £6,000 bills this winter.
I've reversed the National Insurance increase and I've also taken steps and we will be taking steps to crack down on the militant unions.
Now what Mr Speaker Did you see the Lettuce Cam?
The Liz Trust Lettuce Cam?
No.
Oh.
They had an old school webcam on a head of lettuce with a clock next to it.
You know, a digital clock.
And it was to see which would last longer, Liz Trust as Prime Minister or the head of lettuce.
The head of lettuce won.
The head of lettuce is quite edible still.
I think, Mr. Speaker, that is more of a record of action than the honourable gentleman in his two and a half years in the job.
Mr Speaker, last week the Prime Minister ignored every question put to her.
Instead she repeatedly criticised Labour's plan for a six-month freeze on energy bills.
This week the Chancellor made it her policy.
How can she be held to account when she's not in charge?
Well, Mr Speaker, our policy is to protect the most vulnerable for two years.
I had to take the decision, because of the economic situation, to adjust our policy.
You know, this whole thing, especially now that she's out, I'm just going to double down on my theory that this was to cover up whatever shenanigans the Bank of England was into, blame it on her, get her out.
It wouldn't even surprise me if Boris was elected Prime Minister again.
No, that's not going to happen, but your thesis might be correct, but it's not.
Well, would they bring in Jeremy Hunt?
No, he would like to be in.
No, there's some more interesting people out there in the wings that they could bring in, and they probably will.
They don't bring back prime ministers.
They're definitely not going to bring back Boris.
I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me.
This is so blatant what she was there for.
And they get that finance secretary Quartang.
No one will even remember that.
In fact, this guy could never ever work in politics again in the UK probably, but no one cared about him.
We never heard of that guy.
Have her and him and boom and she gets sliced and diced and she'll be a special correspondent for CNN or something like that.
Her charisma and gravitas, to use that old phrase, is not good enough to even get on CNN.
She's very weak.
It was so bad.
They were cutting her up so bad.
I guess there was a mockumentary made about her that aired on television in the UK, but it wasn't exactly her, but to show that they meant it to be her, the actress who played her wore the same dress that she had worn in public.
Here's a short clip.
Emma Thompson in this BBC drama about an alt-right government coming to power in Britain, I think that's what it's about, she wore a dress based on a dress Liz Truss had worn in order to kind of smear Liz Truss as, you know, a far-right populist demagogue.
Um, because Liz Truss isn't very rich, certainly not as rich as Emma Thompson, she then wore the same dress, you know, two years later.
And at which point she was smeared for a second time with people saying, Oh, look, she's wearing the same dress that Emma Thompson wore in this BBC drama.
But it's like, you know, if it was originally based on her, they're not surprising.
You know, I grew up with women.
I've been around women my whole life.
Much more female energy.
There's not a single woman in the world, after her dress was made fun of in a television show, that would wear it again because she didn't have enough money.
No way.
That's bull.
Yeah, I would probably agree with that.
By the way, there's an underlying misogyny to this whole go-after-Liz-Truss thing, especially by the British, who are misogynists.
The only women that have ever gotten into those positions have been mean women.
Thatcher being the meanest of them.
Still not compared to that woman in Australia, but Thatcher was pretty good at it.
And even then, I remember Martin Amis, the novelist, coming on one of the shows and making some commentary about That you're going to the men's room instead of the women's room.
I remember that.
In some sort of an offbeat way.
It was kind of an amusing character.
But this whole thing, this is a charade.
And it's not just, it's like four ministers, four of our ministers have resigned, I think.
A bunch of them did.
Anyway, this wrapped us up because there's a good hoot at the end that kind of summarizes it.
I am somebody who's prepared to front up.
I'm prepared to take the tough decisions.
Unlike the honourable gentleman who hasn't done anything on businesses, he's done nothing to say he'll protect people after one year.
He's got no plan.
Last week the Prime Minister stood there and promised absolutely no spending reductions.
They all cheered.
This week the Chancellor announced a new wave of cuts.
What's the point of a Prime Minister whose promises don't even last a week?
Well I can assure the right honourable gentleman that spending will go up next year and it will go up the year after.
But of course we need to get value for taxpayers' money.
The Labour party has pledged hundreds of billions of spending pledges, none of which they've retracted.
The honourable gentleman needs to reflect the economic reality in his policy.
Mr Speaker, those spending cuts are on the table for one reason and one reason only, because they crash the economy.
And working people are going to have to pay £500 more a month on their mortgages.
And what's the Prime Minister's response?
to say she's sorry.
What does she think people will think and say?
That's all right, I don't mind financial ruin, at least she apologised.
Prime Minister.
I do think there has to be some reflection of economic reality from the party.
The fact is...
The fact is... that interest rates... interest rates are rising across the world and the economic conditions have worsened.
And we are being honest, we're levelling with the public, unlike the honourable gentleman who simply won't do it.
And what is the honourable gentleman doing about the fact that workers, train workers, are again going on strike?
The fact is, he refuses to condemn the workers.
We are bringing forward policies.
Mr Speaker, we are bringing forward policies that are going to make sure our railways are protected, people going to work are protected.
He backs the strikers, we back the strivers.
Now, she already knew she was toast there.
I mean, there was blood in the water.
They're just circling around, they're hooting and hollering.
Poor Liz.
Oh well.
She also didn't do the, you know, a lot of these prime ministers, they demand some silence when they're speaking.
And so they'll sit down.
And they start to talk and then there's all this hooting and hollering.
They sit down, they just sit down.
And then the speaker tells everyone to shut up and starts singling people out.
Where was the speaker?
You shut up, you shut up and you can, you know, you're funny, but shut up.
And then when it calms down, the speaker stands, the prime minister stands up again and continues.
She's never done that.
She just puts up with it.
She doesn't know how it works.
Well, she's been there.
She knows, she's seen it.
Well, again, my theory just makes it more, more plausible.
What a setup.
Well, again, I think there's an element of misogyny here.
Oh, really?
I never thought she was a strong candidate, but the strongest candidate wasn't even in the running.
I can't remember the guy's name.
You're telling me she should have cried?
That would have been great.
That would have been the best.
I have a question, though.
So I look at the exchange rates and the pound's down a penny, so it's 112.
It's still not as bad as it was.
The euro's still at 97.
Do you think that this is some kind of, possibly, just in light of the great currency reset, wouldn't it be interesting if you had the dollar, the pound, and the euro all more or less at parity?
Couldn't you then, at that moment, say, hey, let's just do our own You know, let's do a new money for the world.
We got all the big ones right here.
Kind of.
Is that too far out?
Is that too far out?
That's not even in the realm of possibility.
Okay.
It was kind of disclosed by the Italians first, they bitched about it, but then the Greeks are the ones who made the biggest fuss when they joined the Eurozone.
Right.
And they realized you can't control your economy if you can't control specifically the money within your economy, not without.
So if you're in the Eurozone, for example, you can't do anything.
You're just at the mercy of some central bank in Europe so the Greeks couldn't fix their own economy and had all these issues, as we recall, during our show era.
And the Italians have never really recovered from turning to the Euro.
I was planning on going somewhere else, but since you bring that up...
Um, over the weekend, the deputy managing director of the IMF, a guy named Bo, Bo Lee.
Bo!
Bo!
Bo Lee!
Hey, Bo!
Uh, now, I think he might have also been a deputy governor at the People's Bank of China.
Makes sense.
Anyway, he's at the IMF.
This is an IMF Q&A and they ask him about central bank digital currencies and how these can be used to the advantage of monetary and fiscal policy.
Listen.
Bo, just a quick question, when you look out... And I say this, of course, it's like, you can't inflate your own currency if you're in the system, but what if there was one central bank digital currency and they actually could control it in this manner?
Bo, just a quick question, when you look out at what's happening so far in this sphere, Do you see any ways in which the transaction data is so helpful are being used now or could be used or should be put into a plan?
Just any specific example.
Well, I can give you one example in China because I personally experienced it.
Those transaction data can be utilized Service providers in credit underwriting, in a sense that, you know, those transaction data in terms of how many coffee I drink every day, where I buy coffee.
Oh, I'm going to play this second, this second piece first.
I'm sorry.
That's about social network.
This piece.
The third way we think CBDC can improve financial inclusion is through what we call programmability.
That is, CBDC can allow government agencies and private sector players to program, to create smart contracts.
to allow targeted policy functions.
For example, welfare payment.
For example, consumption coupon.
For example, food stamp.
By programming CBDC, those money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own and what kind of use this money can be utilized.
For example, for food.
So this potential programmability can help government agencies Under the guise of financial inclusion, we can target and control the policy.
Sounds dreamy!
So that way can also improve financial inclusion.
Under the guise of financial inclusion, we can target and control the policy.
Sounds dreamy.
Yeah, these things don't work.
I mean, in a certain population, when you have a population, it doesn't work.
If someone's going to get shot, when you have a population like the Chinese who are really promoting all this stuff, who will put up with the fact that they're, in fact, they have this Chinese clip about Xi, because they have the big meeting.
And you know, this guy's going to be in there forever.
And it's what everyone's kind of concluded.
They need an emperor.
That's the way the Chinese have always been.
You literally disagreed with my clip and then moved just to something completely differently without even... You just said, man, that's not gonna happen.
Someone's gonna get shot.
No, that's not true at all.
I said that it was a Chinese guy, wasn't it?
Yes.
Well, the Chinese have a different way of looking at things.
And a lot of it, some of it's idealistic in a way that's abnormal to Americans.
As far as we're concerned, you know, you get the free money, you can do what you want with it.
You want to buy beer?
All right.
They're going to make you buy bananas?
Please go to your Xi clips, but I'm going to go on record.
No, I don't want to go to your Xi clips.
You're wrong.
This is not just the Chinese guy.
There's executive orders, there's all kinds of projects.
This is happening.
CDBCs are going to happen.
CNBC talks about it all day.
CNBC would like to see it happen.
Of course they would.
So would governments.
Of course they would, but the public's not going to put up with this.
Like vaccine passports?
Yeah, no, they'll put up with it.
There's plenty of forged vaccine passports as people get around.
You're the one that was like, I wouldn't use a forged thing.
Your upbringing in Holland makes you amenable to this way of thinking.
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to twist this into.
I'm just saying there's a lot of evidence that a CDBC will take place in America.
And it may not replace the dollar.
It may be used for different... It may only be... It'll be equal to the dollar, but it may be only, you know, in the beginning for SNAP recipients or whatever.
It's going to happen.
That programmability, they're drooling over it.
They're drooling over it.
I'm sure some people are.
I'm not.
No!
Nor am I!
That's horrible!
I remember ten years ago your promotion of the SDR as taking over as reserve currency.
That's never happened.
Okay, all right.
So... I'm just pointing out that you have a pension.
I said there's no evidence that it won't.
Okay?
That's what I said.
It's very different.
It does exactly... Go back.
Find the clip.
Find the clip.
Innocent and so proven guilty.
Israeli moon bases.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
They're there.
I'm just saying.
You lean in this direction.
Well, of course I do.
You want to see it.
You love to see it.
I don't know if somebody can complain about it.
No, I study this.
That's why.
I actually hold back with great restraint and not keep bringing this up because I see it every single day.
Because I know I get this response.
I just have to, once in a while, I just gotta.
I mean, they're saying it openly.
Maybe it's just the IMF who does it.
You want your IMF?
Okay.
We're going to give a CBBC, which is a dollar.
It's pegged to the US dollar and we're going to control how it works throughout your economy.
You don't see that happening?
Oh my God.
No, I don't.
Okay.
All right.
Good.
I see it as wishful thinking on the part of a bunch of nuts.
Well, yeah, but don't include me in the nuts.
I don't want it, but I'm just, I think it's coming.
I know the nuts.
I know my nuts.
Well, your counter to my complaining is when I, especially when I target you, it should be the following.
Well, unlike you, John, I don't want to be standing there flat-footed and babbling, wondering what the hell happened.
It's even better when you use my line on yourself, so I appreciate that.
Thank you.
I don't have to say it now.
Good.
That's the idea.
Hey, about an hour ago, the CDC recommended, by unanimous vote, that the COVID vaccines be added to the children's recommended schedule.
Yeah, I know, but I thought that was yesterday.
I saw that yesterday.
No, no, no, no.
That was the pre-vote.
Today was the final vote.
So they had a final, final vote.
They should be ashamed of themselves for this.
Well, I just wanted to explain what it is and what it isn't.
Because there's a lot of confusion about what this means.
And first of all, this clip, I wish I had a little more of the clip before the gaffe.
Because that would make it that more impactful, but it was one of these things where someone just grabbed it for me and that's all they could get.
For disease controls, independent advertisers, advisors rather.
The CDC's independent advertisers.
I mean advisors.
Isn't that the best?
It's the best.
Dynamite.
All right, so they've approved this to be added to the schedule.
Here is what I think is a pretty accurate rundown of what that means exactly.
And then the secondary reason, we're going to throw it back to a previous episode.
So Megan, to start, what exactly is the CDC voting on this week?
Because I've seen some reports claiming that they're deciding whether to add COVID vaccines to the list of things that kids need to get before they go to school.
Is that correct?
No, it's not.
Not yet anyway.
So the question that the CDC took up was whether to add COVID vaccines to the Vaccines for Children's program.
And what that is, is a federally funded program that provides vaccinations to kids whose families may not be able to afford them.
So they voted unanimously to do that, and now what that will do is attach a stronger level of recommendation than simply advising parents to get their children vaccinated for COVID.
I spoke to Dr. Marty McCary of Johns Hopkins just before the vote.
Here's what he told me.
That's what's got people concerned because it could be a slippery slope and lead to a broad statement that every kid must get this vaccine.
Now, if they decide to go down that path, the COVID vaccine in children would be the first ever vaccine on the child immunization schedule that's not supported by solid evidence in the literature that reduces disease in the community.
So the vote on the immunization schedule question, that is whether the COVID vaccine might be added to that list of school required immunizations, will happen later on Thursday.
But this vote suggests that they're likely to approve that.
Okay, so the M5M has distracted everybody with the possibility that some school systems, mainly California, would say, well, it's on the recommended schedule, therefore it's mandated in our school.
We know that pediatricians will follow pretty much in lockstep, and there's plenty of reasons why they do that, and they may reject your child as a patient if you refuse any vaccine on the schedule.
This is well documented.
But I have a weird memory and I was waiting for this one to trigger because we heard exactly what the reason for being on the schedule is about.
Has nothing to do with mandating and in school.
That's just a bonus if it happens.
No, this is what it's about.
This is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
I think we got picked this up about a year ago.
Well, they have to give it to kids because here's why.
They cannot market this vaccine without having immunity shield.
I mean, I sue pharmaceutical companies for a living, and I have enough criminal activity that I know about Pfizer at this point, and Moderna, that if they went ahead and marketed a vaccine where they end up killing people or injuring them, and I can sue them, They'd be thrilled.
So they're never going to market a vaccine, allow people access to a vaccine, an approved vaccine, without getting liability protection.
Now the emergency use authorization vaccines have liability protection under the PREP Act and the CARES Act.
So as long as you take an emergency use, you can't sue them.
Once they get approved, Now you can sue them.
Unless they can get it recommended for children.
What?
Because all vaccines that are officially recommended for children get liability protection, even if an adult gets that vaccine.
And there it is.
There it is.
That's what it was always about.
We don't care.
We just got to get on the schedule so we can't be sued.
Yeah, that actually was reported in a few spots.
Where?
I saw it.
There's no evidence of that.
But it is kind of convenient that now, after almost 400 days, the CDC suddenly decides to release, under extreme pressure and a lawsuit, the data from their v-safe V-safe is the app that they gave to their guinea pigs who are bravely trying in the trials for the COVID vaccine and who would report their daily progress.
Well, I'm sure you read about this here and there as well.
It's a very good question.
Why did it take numerous legal demands, multiple appeals, two lawsuits in fact, before the CDC finally handed over the v-safe data, which is already de-identified data for the most part that they provided just two days ago, 144 million lines of code that they could have provided in a matter of minutes at any point.
It's a great question.
Maybe the answer is, is that now that we have that data and we've looked at that data, of the 10 million users within V-safe, 7.7% of them had to seek medical care after vaccination.
That is an incredibly high percentage, it appears to me.
They're all kinds of crazy.
They have a dashboard online.
You can see all the stuff that people went through.
So here's the question that you can answer since you're on top of this.
Can you ever pull something off the recommended list of children?
That may be one of those questions that's close to greatness.
I don't have that answer.
But that would be... Kennedy would know.
Yeah, I would presume that that would be... Talk about a guy who's been sidelined.
He got kicked off of everything.
He got deplatformed.
Once he did that book.
Oh, and the movie's out now.
I think it's on Netflix or Hulu.
I gotta watch the movie.
It's the acted version of his book, I think.
The anti-Fauci book?
Yeah.
Yeah, the F Fauci book.
Yeah, oh yeah.
I wonder who's running with that.
It's probably, it's probably not even on the streamers.
They've probably suppressed that.
Now, amidst all this, you know who's getting pretty bold is DeSantos, your boy there in Florida.
I mean, this, of course, is election season, but just listen to what he says here.
And now he calls them the elites, which is, I think, kind of weak.
You should call people out by name.
But at least he's calling some... He's saying something smart here that is clearly presidential.
It's good to hear.
They're now trying to rewrite history, acting like they wanted kids in school all along, and we should let them get away with that, but we should also point out, not only were they wrong about schools, the elites were wrong.
Yeah, sure.
Stop, stop, insert it over.
What's that?
He, in his voice, he has, he doesn't have the cadence, and he doesn't have the ahhh, but he has a Bill Gates timbre.
He does.
You're right.
He could do Bill Gates.
I mean, if this governor thing doesn't work out... He could go on the road.
He could go on The Tonight Show, probably.
Well... They're now trying to rewrite history, acting like... If he spoke a little slower, history... If he did it like that, he'd be on TV.
A little more nasal, a lot slower, and a lot of ahhhhhh.
Another fabulous useless tip from your know-it-all.
This is really the basis of our show.
They wanted kids in school all along, and we shouldn't let them get away with that.
But we should also point out, not only were they wrong about schools, the elites were wrong about lockdowns.
They were wrong about epidemiological models and the hospitalization models.
They were wrong about forced masking.
They were wrong when they rejected the existence of natural immunity.
They were wrong about the efficacy of the mRNA vaccines.
And they were wrong when I said this, that COVID was seasonal.
Now they admit it, but they didn't when it was obvious that that was the case.
So in almost every major significant issue, these elites who would show up on cable news or be wherever, they were wrong, and they got it wrong time and time again.
And so we also served in Florida as a roadblock to what I think would have taken hold in this country if it weren't for our leadership, and that's a biomedical security state.
If you look at what they were trying to do with forcing a vax and passports and all these different things, this country would look a lot different right now if people like me hadn't stood up and said, not on my watch.
You're not doing that here.
That's the kind of speech people would like to hear Trump make.
Yeah, he's not going to do that.
No, he's not.
His style is so different.
Bill Gates' style is actually something that seems to work.
It's pleasant to listen to.
He doesn't throw too much emotion in there.
He has a little edge of superiority, though.
You can kind of feel that in him.
Yeah, it's a little bit.
There's a slight arrogance.
We could polish him up, John.
We could polish him up.
We could get him ready for the big show.
We could get him ready for primetime, the big leagues.
He's got just enough arrogance, but not too much.
Well, he has the edge on Trump because Trump has to denounce the vaccines.
This is what is holding him back.
Trump is right in between a rock and a hard place because he likes to brag about warp speed and how he pushed the vaccines through and then he likes to gripe about the fact that they wouldn't announce that the vaccines were ready to rock until after the election so he can condemn them.
So what is he going to do?
He's really put himself in a bind.
No, I think Trump is really in a bind with this.
Well, I mean, they aren't pushing him so hard.
This latest audiobook from Bob Woodward, which in my opinion, man, why would you ever trust a journalist ever again?
Especially with confidential information.
Apparently he showed him the 16 letters that Kim Jong Uh, Oon sent to him the love letters and, uh, and Woodward then read those into a dictaphone or something to have his own copies.
Uh, and Trump, and he has a recording.
I should have clipped that.
Trump's saying, hey man, you know, like you really can't tell, say, tell anyone you got this from me.
I mean, I shouldn't really be, I don't know if it's okay for me to give you this.
And that's all on there.
And so all these journalists who gladly accept confidential information from CIA, FBI, NSA, anybody, any three-letter agency inside the government, oh, now that's good journalism.
But when you reveal your sources, you're a douche.
Or am I seeing that wrong?
That's douchey.
And so he releases this and they play it verbatim on ABC without even a bleep.
New audio recordings suggest former President Trump knew he was sharing classified information with a journalist.
Bob Woodward is releasing an audiobook after spending time with Trump in 2019.
In a clip that was released last night, Trump can be heard showing Woodward the 27 letters that were written to him by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Trump acknowledges he should not be showing Woodward the letters.
Nobody else has them, but I want you to treat them with respect.
I haven't... I understand.
I understand.
And don't say I gave them to you, okay?
Okay.
But I think it's okay.
Normally, I wouldn't have... I wasn't going to give them to you.
Oh, there you go.
Would you make a photostat out of them or something?
No, I dictated them into a tape recorder.
Really?
Trump refused to show Woodward the letters he sent to Kim, calling those top secret.
The letters were reportedly among the classified items that were seized at Mar-a-Lago.
I'm like tripping because that was the clip.
I think this was done on purpose by Trump to make Woodward the douche he is.
Well, good job!
Good job.
Meanwhile, of course, bringing up Trump, I must get the deposition out of the way.
There's a funny thing, this Trump deposition on the assault.
I don't know about this.
Sorry?
Sorry, it just took place in New York.
Lawyers for writer E. Jean Carroll question former President Donald Trump under oath today.
NPR's Ilya Maric reports Carroll was pushed for years to have Trump deposed in her civil lawsuit against him for defamation.
In 2019, Carroll published a book claiming Trump sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.
Trump said she was, quote, totally lying, and Carroll responded by suing him for reputational harm.
Her lawyer confirms that the long-sought deposition did take place but gave no further details about where or the content of the former president's testimony.
Trump has been questioned under oath on at least two other occasions since leaving office.
The trial is scheduled to begin in February.
Then there's this other case, which we heard from the guys on the inside who, remember the CTO and another technical guy resigned and I was talking to him?
And And they said, no, we can't say too much, but we do want... Oh, this is about the, yes, this is the newest case.
Yeah, but our guys on the inside, they said, we're leaving because we think there's potential securities fraud.
This was months ago.
And now, now, conveniently it comes out, even after we cracked the case!
That was our scoop!
A whistleblower is now accusing former President Trump's social media company of violating federal securities laws.
Will Wilkerson is a former executive at Trump Media and Technology Group, which launched the Truth Social platform.
He tells the Washington Post that Trump's company tried to raise capital by making fraudulent misrepresentations about its finances.
Sources tell ABC News the SEC is now investigating.
It is generally a civil violation.
There are extreme cases where it can be a criminal violation.
It's serious.
It's not a good idea to be on the wrong side of a securities law violation.
According to the Post, Wilkerson was fired after the newspaper contacted the company for a comment.
Trump media calls Wilkerson's claims false and defamatory.
Yeah.
So, you know, I said, well, I know we've got it probably comes down to how many users they have.
There's probably a lot or a lot of other things, but this is where if you're going to pull this kind of crap, you really have to be in Silicon Valley where they know how to do it.
And Devin Nunes is not the profile guy who knows how to pull this kind of... No, no, no.
Unless he'd been working at a VC for 20 years.
No.
You've got to have Wilson Sonsini being your lawyer right off the bat.
Exactly.
And you have a bunch of these other... The whole thing is well orchestrated when it's done out of Silicon Valley.
They know how to do this and then they speak out.
And you got to cut everybody in.
Instead Trump's, and I believe this, I know how this goes, hey man look like Melania's giving me a hard time because you know I'm gonna make her do all this posting, she's gonna leave Twitter, she still has her career and so you know can we can you guys still chip in just a couple of shares even though Trump has supposedly 90%?
No you have to you really have to distribute the shares.
Yeah, but I believe... The only Silicon Valley seems to understand that.
And they know how to do it!
They know how to do it!
This was a... What a gaffe!
A canard!
That's a totally gaffing canard.
Now here's... I was wrong.
It was CNN who didn't bleep the nasty on Trump.
And this is about the nukes.
You probably heard this clip.
You just want to play it.
And at times, he thinks he can impress him by telling him about classified information.
I have built a weapon system that nobody's ever had in this country before.
We have stuff that you haven't even seen or heard about.
We have stuff that Putin and Xi have never heard about before.
Getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing, alright?
Especially because they have 1,332 nuclear fucking warheads.
Not bleeped on CNN.
It's funny that the relationships I have, the tougher and meaner they are, the better I get along with them.
You'll explain that to me someday, okay?
But maybe it's not a bad thing.
The easy ones are the ones I maybe don't like as much or don't get along with as much.
So just to clarify, Woodward was never able to verify whether this system exists.
But he uses it as an example, and there are many throughout the audiobooks, of how Trump's national security advisors, their heads are exploding.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Their heads are exploding!
So they don't even take it as a possibility that Trump is just making shit up and feeding him a crock of crap just, you know, for whatever reason.
Maybe it's his style.
Or just something to do to make, you know, to ridicule somebody.
Sometimes you'll tell them stuff that's not true just to see what happens.
Yes, to see what happens, sure.
Which happens all the time with high-end High-end executive types, they'll do this stuff.
Lie.
But that's not even taken into account by these low-level reporters because they never heard of such a thing.
Okay, that makes sense.
But it's fun.
I mean, this is what's keeping the masses busy.
And really, I think it's because... Have you seen the latest numbers?
How is cable news doing even?
It doesn't seem like many people care that much, like they're just checking out.
I'll tell you this much, I think they lost 75% of their audience over at MSNBC when Alex Wagner took over from... Oh my goodness, is that bad or what?
And I don't understand what the whole thing is and what is... She feels, everything about her feels like placeholder for some reason.
They're working on someone big, they're working on maybe a complete reshuffle, but there's something coming.
At MSNBC?
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
I know at least CNN is actually moving ahead by, you know, ridding themselves of a bunch of, you know, losers.
Meanwhile, the star reporter these days in the White House has got to be doozy.
Yeah, well he's the only one that asked any real questions.
So this was a reasonably good one, I just took a small piece of it.
And he's like the least, if you lined up all these guys who was the least likely one you'd pick, you know, for the ask a great question baseball team, he wouldn't be on it.
No, he looks like the cartoon guy Doug.
It's like, this guy can't hurt me.
He's like a spot, like a grease stain.
But no, he's got good questions, and he puts Kareem Abdul-Jean Pierre Van Damme on the spot.
We've heard the president say inflation is his top domestic priority, but now he's saying come next year, his first bill would be abortion related.
So is his number one domestic priority abortion or is it inflation?
Well, let's not forget what the president has done the last 19 months.
He has made the economy his top priority.
He has passed the American Rescue Plan, by the way, as you heard me say all the time.
No Republicans voted for that in Congress.
And it was a plan that helped us get back on our feet.
I love how she describes the actual reason for the inflation by saying that they're stopping it with the Rescue Act, whereas the $1.7 trillion that was created is part of the reason for the inflation.
But she's just going to boast about it.
With the economy that helped us gain or create 10 million jobs.
Oh, gain or create?
Well, this is new.
What happened to savings?
Yeah.
What happened to save and create?
Save and create has disappeared from the face of the earth, but what does gain or create mean?
What is gain?
We're going to gain a new job?
We're going to create a new job?
I'm not getting it.
Because it's just paper shuffling.
Just numbers.
Probably.
Well, we gained that on the spreadsheet.
I don't know.
It's a new one.
Get back on our feet with the economy.
That helped us gain or create 10 million jobs that we had lost.
It also put money in people's pockets.
also make sure that businesses were able to open up, schools were able to open up, people were able to go back into their homes, save their homes.
And so that was the American Rescue Plan.
That's the bipartisan infrastructure legislation, which was, again, to invest in ports, invest in the infrastructure that was dwindling.
And so that is something that that he did the inflation inflation reduction act that is lowering cost for the american people he is working on the economy every day i just announced yesterday or we just announced yesterday hearing aids 30 million people are going to benefit from hearing aids saving thousands of dollars a year so that's working on the economy every day yeah yeah i left that in on purpose you little tramp this is a lie
This is the Elizabeth Warren hearing aid scam.
Oh yeah.
Let me give you a tighter report from ABC.
At beginning today, hearing aids will be available without a prescription in pharmacies and big box stores.
The FDA estimates the over-the-counter devices will save consumers about $1,400 per individual hearing aid.
Some devices will be available at Walgreens, Walmart, and Best Buy.
CVS begins online sales this week.
Here to hurt the American people.
It's going to save the economy.
What?
I couldn't hear you because of these shitty hearing aids.
No.
It was nice.
Liberty Nation sent me a note and said, I know you've been outspoken about this.
Do you have anything for me?
So I wrote him back and he published pretty much everything verbatim, which was cool.
But in a nutshell, this is a lie because the only thing that happened is Bose specifically, and Liberty Nation looked it up, looked up the donations just to make sure that I wasn't talking out of turn.
And they have a link to it in their article.
They poured money into Elizabeth Warren's coffers, and their lobbyists helped write this really only a change where you can call something that used to be called a hearing amplifier.
Now you can call that a hearing aid, and then the M5M can jump in and say, hey, you can now get hearing aids that are thousands of dollars cheaper where you really are not getting anything worthwhile.
Certainly if you don't see an audiologist, this is a big tech move to get their crappy hearing amplifiers classified as hearing aids and rip off old people.
And like me, old people.
It's not true.
Anyway, read the Liberty Nation article.
I don't even know what Liberty Nation is.
I don't know.
It sounded like a really big deal.
Liberty Nation.
Boom, boom, boom.
Liberty Nation.
Let me see.
About us.
Well, if you say it that way, Liberty Nation is a nice big voice.
Well, who is Liberty Nation?
Here's the answer.
It says right on the webpage, we are Americans who believe in liberty.
Okay?
Oh, okay.
That's it.
I'm done.
I think I've run across an article.
There's a pretty big website.
Anyway, screw Liz Warren with her lies.
And man, speaking of Big Pharma, of course, Kanye, for some reason, has decided that he now needs to go on every podcast, every show, everywhere, which is very ill-advised, because although I certainly believe he is a genius savant, and if you have the ability to stick with it and listen to him, he's saying really true things and important things, But this is, this is not how the world functions.
So the, of all places, he goes on Chris Cuomo's show.
I mean, this is, this is very, would you not say this is very ill-advised?
Well, no, I wouldn't say that at all because who listens to the Chris Cuomo show is not going to hurt him.
I mean, the clip that you're going to play is, is now going to be more, uh, It's gonna have more listeners than the Chris Cuomo show did originally.
Fact.
Fact.
That's a fact.
Uh, and this is more about Cuomo than Kanye, but let's just set the stage.
The Cuomo kid promotes.
Oh, Kanye.
Got an interview with Kanye.
Kanye, Kanye.
Yay, yay, yay, yay.
It's yay in his SUV in the back on, uh, you know, like, uh, on, on video chat.
And he's in the dark.
He's in his car?
He's in his car!
And he's holding the phone!
Okay, wow, this is really exclusive.
And so the Cuomo kid...
Tries to either give him an out or to pound it down to say, hey man, you're insane.
You need to be on medication.
And what came out was something really interesting.
When I hear how you talk about your personal life and you put things out there and you get into these looping thoughts of what you believe, it sounds to me like you are sometimes out of control and that this is something that you should be dealing with.
Now, I'm not excusing your thoughts.
as illness, okay?
People attacked me for that and said, hey, just because you're concerned about whether Kanye West is taking care of himself emotionally and mentally.
My name's Jay, sir.
My name's Jay.
Yay, I'm sorry.
Yay is taking care of himself mentally and emotionally.
You shouldn't say that.
He has to be held to account for what he says.
Both things can be true.
Have you been taking care of your health and in terms of making sure that you are behaving and thinking at your best?
I love what you, the way you worded it, what you don't realize is when it runs back, people are going to say, wow, have you been making sure you're behaving? - Thank you.
If you run that back, you're gonna be like, whoa.
That's not what I'm saying.
You're trying to cheapen the point.
I'm trying to make sure that you're healthy and you're taking care of your health.
Did you work out this morning?
No.
Okay.
The thing is, okay, so when do I have a... But I took my medicine.
But I took my anti-depressant medication that I take every day.
Bro, you're cutting me off.
When do I get a platform?
It's all you.
Go.
I took my anti-depressant.
I take it every day.
Wow, Chris Corleone.
Wow.
Why would anyone... That is... That guy's something's wrong, that guy.
Yeah, talk about, you know, what you say about yourself.
Yeah, no kidding.
He's projecting his own insanity.
Very, very odd.
That was really weird.
No.
Yay.
I love Ye.
I finally figured out about the Jewish media.
The Jewish people.
He said it on that long podcast I sent you, which I'm sure you didn't watch.
Or you watched it for 10 minutes.
He says the reason he said it because he's jealous.
He's jealous that black Americans can't work together like Jewish Americans.
I thought, okay, I got you there, bro.
Man, man, man, what a train wreck.
Well, that's a fact.
Yeah.
Yes.
So let's go to, let's get the Xi stuff out of the way so we can at least be caught up internationally because this guy is the emperor of China and is not going anywhere and he's getting his, he's feeling his oats.
I've got five clips, unfortunately, but not that long.
I'm sure it'll be.
Is this New Tang?
No, I don't, I don't know.
Remember where I got these clips.
Uh, when we- when they start to play, uh, you'll figure it out.
This is, uh... I think it's NPR, actually.
Anyway, here we go.
Clip one.
Ten years ago, in his first speech as the leader of the world's most populous nation and second largest economy, Xi Jinping talked about the great revival of the Chinese nation.
Under his leadership, Xi said, China would stand more firmly and powerfully and make a greater contribution to mankind.
Uyghur scholar Ilham Toti was paying close attention.
He sounded I'm so excited.
I think it's going to change now.
Things are going to get better.
That's Toti's daughter, Juer Ilham.
She says her father was optimistic that things would improve for Uyghurs, the Turkic-speaking ethnic minority living in China's western region of Xinjiang.
Toti is an outspoken activist for Uyghur rights.
But his high hopes for Xi Jinping didn't last long.
He was officially arrested January 15, 2014.
January 15th, 2014.
Three months later, she would visit Xinjiang and secretly set in motion an unprecedented crackdown on Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities in the name of fighting terrorism and separatism.
By some estimates, a million or more people would eventually be detained.
That September, Ilham Toti was sentenced to life in prison for separatism.
It's kind of sad that he was so hopeful.
In the 10 years since she first came to power, China has been marked by growing authoritarianism.
But Xi has also faced challenges.
His tough zero-COVID policy included strict lockdowns that sparked rare protests and weakened the Chinese economy.
Relations with the U.S.
have deteriorated sharply, in part because of tensions over the status of Taiwan.
She has also cultivated a close relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin, even after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Not a particularly popular move on the global stage.
It doesn't sound like NBR, sir.
So, uh...
I remember when he first got in and they were talking about how they were trying to get rid of him because he was cracking down on corruption, especially petty corruption in the smaller areas.
I don't know that he ever cracked down on it that much, but he did.
Take care of this Uyghur situation, which I guess they thought was negative for the country.
What do you mean he took care of it?
He imprisoned everybody and cracked down.
Alright, I just want to make sure we know what that means.
Yeah, he took care of it.
He handled it.
Let's go to clip 2.
But as Chinese politics expert Joseph Torrigian puts it, And even if it were, it's hard to gauge public opinion in China.
Independent polling on politics is banned, and speaking out against the Communist Party can get you thrown in jail.
Plus, Xi Jinping does have a lot of support in the country, from people like Lao Zhang, a retired factory worker who's seen a lot of change in China over his 72 years.
Xi Jinping is a good man.
I think he's honest and upright.
According to Zhang, that's key in today's China.
He applauds Xi for attacking corruption, tackling poverty, and trying to create more equality.
And he praises him for unapologetically standing up for China on the international stage.
We want him to stay in office and have at least one more term.
He's good.
This week, Zhang is likely to get his wish.
Okay.
So, okay, let's go to just, I can't think of any why I stopped it.
Deborah, go to clip three.
The effect that the zero COVID policy and the resulting economic slowdown in China has had on Xi's influence.
Yes, indeed.
2022 has not been a good year for Xi Jinping.
And especially if you consider the power transition and the third term that he has had his eyes on.
2022 is a terrible year.
The Russian war in Ukraine also created a lot of uncertainty as well as embarrassment for China in terms of Xi Jinping's foreign policy.
People ask questions like, how did you reach that no-limit cooperation commitment with Putin?
Did you know that Putin was going to invade Ukraine within three weeks of that joint statement?
So this year has really been hard for Xi Jinping because he has to explain, despite all these hardships and all these strategic headwinds that we have encountered this year, I still deserve a third term.
My leadership is still warranted.
My leadership is still the best option for the Party and for the Chinese people.
The Party Congress is celebrated, and Chinese people just hope that, well, let's conclude this Party Congress so that we can move forward, we can reduce some of the COVID-related restrictions, and we can resume normal economic and social activities.
You should reduce COVID restrictions and forgive student loans.
Of course I'll let you go for a third time.
You'll go for a third term, no problem.
After he got rid of the competition, right?
He just got rid of it.
Pretty much.
So here's the last one, which is, and then there's a bonus clip, but this last one I think is why we should be concerned about this guy.
Leaves us to the third factor, which is dissenting views.
And people who do not believe that Xi Jinping's current, for example, policy towards the United States is a good idea, their voices are going to be eliminated from within the bureaucracy.
So there's not going to be check and balance.
There's not going to be a challenge to the assumptions and to the existing consensus within the bureaucracy.
And these three factors are all going to, I believe, deepen Xi Jinping's boldness.
Are you sure this was NPR?
Yes, it's totally NPR.
I know it does sound negative, which is New Tang Dynasty, but they can't do it as smooth.
I'm also not hearing the NPR dynamics in the audio.
I think that's more than anything.
It doesn't matter.
Well, on the first clip, when it started off, it's totally those dynamics.
Just play a little bit of the first clip.
Okay.
Ten years ago in his first speech as the leader of the world's most- I hear- That's it right there.
But the room sounds open.
This is not the dead NPR room sound.
Sorry.
It doesn't.
I hear rustling in the background.
Listen.
Ten years ago in- You can- Okay.
I'll just tell you, for a fact, this is NPR.
I know these people.
Okay.
They purchased this.
It's a package.
They purchased it.
I don't know.
This is not their typical production.
I'm just saying.
And now we have this, this is one that this came up later in some other conversation.
I thought it was interesting.
And this is the, the, uh, power forever clip.
And Xi Jinping doesn't seem to just want a third term.
He effectively could be the country's leader for life.
He will serve the third term, but then people are like, well, what about five years from now?
What about 10 years from now?
Is there ever going to be a plan to have a successor to Xi Jinping?
Since the 1980s, then party leader Deng Xiaoping tried to standardize how leaders are appointed and distribute decision-making power among the Politburo Standing Committee.
These reforms were meant to prevent an autocrat from taking power for life and reduce the influence of retired officials.
But Alfred Wu, a political science professor at the National University of Singapore, says this party Congress will likely signal a reversal of all of this.
Right!
That's the whole point!
So we have Putin in power forever.
Chinese population system, so he does not want some senior folks to dominate the politics in China.
But now it looks like someone will be in power forever.
- Right, that's the whole point. - So we have Putin in power forever. - Yep. - And now we got this guy in power forever.
And they had a little meeting three weeks before the Ukraine... I'm sorry, the... The exercise.
The illegitimate invasion.
No, what do they say?
It's not the... What do they call it?
Military exercise?
No, there's some adjective they use.
Like it's illegitimate.
Illegal war.
Putin's illegal war.
Like what kind of war is legal?
Well, there's rules, believe it or not.
There's rules for law.
Around the world, Putin, of course, accused of killing many of his opponents.
Xi Jinping accused of killing his opponents or getting rid of them, getting rid of Uyghurs.
Politicians in other parts of the world have different approaches.
Here's a sign of just how nasty this political season is getting.
Police in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are investigating after someone taped razor blades to political yard signs which were placed there without the residents' permission.
What is going on, America?
That's not cool.
Razor blades on the political sides.
And in Italy, now they're stirring it up.
You remember Ursula said we have tools?
Should Italy vote in that way for the fascists?
We have tools to deal with that.
Well, the tools are being deployed.
It's an old tool, but the first thing you do is you start mucking things up and start leaking stuff, and now Georgia herself has to scold Berlusconi, who is in her coalition with other supporters.
Scold him because, oh man, you got love letters with Putin, man, this is not cool!
It looks like the truce between Sibio Berlusconi and Giorgio Meloni only lasted a few hours.
Last Monday, in fact, the two made peace following a row over the appointment of Ignazio La Russa, a member of Brothers of Italy, as the new head of the Senate, who had not been endorsed by Sibio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party.
Tensions have risen once again between the two.
Following Berlusconi's recent statement about Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to an audio recording that was published in the Italian media, the former prime minister said, and I quote, that he reconnected with Vladimir Putin and he said that he considers himself to be one of his five friends. that he reconnected with Vladimir Putin and he said that And clearly we know how sensitive this topic is, given that Georgia Meloni has been trying to distance herself from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
She even condemned Russian invasion in Ukraine.
And that's also because of Matteo Salvini, the leader of the League Party's past pro-Putin stance.
Now, according to reports on Italian media, it seems that this could cost Berlusconi the appointment of Tajani, a member of Forza Italia, as the new foreign secretary.
But the question above all is whether or not the two sides will manage to fix things in time as they will have to work together as part of the same coalition.
And as we know, there is not much time left to reach an agreement as the new government could be swooning in the next few days.
Yeah, all right.
The tools have been deployed.
Let's see if Berlusconi's party can fall out with Georgia and then back to the drawing board.
They got to continue to form a government.
Did that report say that he's one of his five friends?
Yes!
I don't know where that came from.
What does that mean?
Who's the other four?
They were, well, apparently they're from the Boonga Boonga Party.
They're like, hey, we have five friends, don't we, Vlad?
Boonga Boonga?
One of those, wink wink, nod nod, remember?
The other three, the other four guys?
No, I don't.
No, I'm just saying, he had a Boonga Boonga Party, Vlad was there.
They got video.
Remember you and your four friends, Vladimir?
It's a message.
It's a message.
That is a clear message that is not being investigated.
Who could the one of five friends be?
Well, they all had to be on Epstein's Island.
That's possible.
Maybe Epstein was one of them.
There you go.
Trump, Berlusconi, Epstein.
Who else can we throw in there?
By the way, I got some emails from people about the Zelensky green screen that you put in the newsletter.
Yeah.
And, you know, people say, who's fake news, man?
Because, you know, here's this report.
And the report is funnier than calling it fake news.
The report is that, you know, this wasn't used to fake anything for his reports, you know, which we also questioned whether it was green screen or actually done outside and in the middle of the night, which the audio certainly didn't sound like.
No, no, no.
He's doing this to create holograms of himself to show up at many festivals.
But that's even funnier.
They're going to make holograms of him.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's not to fake anything.
That's just to create holograms of him.
Hello!
I mean, how does that work?
This is insane.
It goes extreme.
There's like...
One was it was good.
It was a hologram studio and somebody else pointed out that you don't have a green screen the guys wearing that much green No, and it's not the right color green.
No way.
It's not the green is and it's all crinkled and it's not It's more like a bunch of sheets.
It looks like bullcrap is what it looks like but the Somebody else's and then the one the best Conspiracy stuff floating around is that there is no Zelensky He doesn't exist.
Bullshit.
It's a creation.
You have to say the whole thing.
There is no Zelinsky, and the birds aren't real.
Otherwise, you're just flapping your gums, man.
You gotta add that.
Birds aren't real.
And then there's this other guy, and I actually sent it to Sir Gene, you know, the sheriff here.
Duke of Texas.
This Russian guy, Father Grigory.
Russia's most prominent anti-war priest?
You've got to look this guy up, because he looks, it's a Grigori, G-R-I-G-O-R-Y, Grigori, Grigori.
And tell me he doesn't look like a younger version of, ah, what was that guy, the real Jew news, that crazy guy?
Oh, Brother Nathaniel.
Brother Nathaniel, yeah, who I haven't seen in a long time.
This is like a younger version of Brother Nathaniel.
And he's apparently... What is this?
Once a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church has set out to prove... Which was Nathaniel!
Right!
Has set out to prove... Maybe this is Nathaniel Part 2!
Shoot, man.
Do we have anything?
What happened to Nathaniel?
We haven't heard.
He's got a website and he still does his spiel.
Pretty much the same.
He must have gotten deplatformed.
What's his guy's first name?
Gregori?
What do I look up here?
Yeah, just Father Gregori.
G-R-I-G-O-R-Y.
And you'll see it.
It says like a younger version.
Rodchenoff?
Yeah, that's it.
Rodchenoff.
No.
Myknof Vytenko.
That's slightly different.
Yeah, I know.
He set out to prove that not everyone in the country stands behind President Vladimir Putin's act of aggression.
No, this guy looks nothing like Nathaniel.
A younger version.
Getting ready to take over the YouTube channel.
I mean, I'm sorry, Rumble.
I'm sure Father Nathaniel's no longer on YouTube.
He does his own thing.
But this guy's being hyped in M5M.
I'm seeing him pop up.
It looks like a character in a storyline.
Exactly.
Gene says never heard of this guy.
No one's heard of him.
Well, I'm telling you.
They're amping him up, getting him ready.
Yeah, for Call of Duty 10.
So I'm listening to, we're talking about this sort of guy.
I'm listening to, and I didn't even know this podcast was still going on, which is Useful Idiots podcast with...
With Matt Taibbi and Katie Halperin.
It's a pretty good podcast except for Katie Halperin and her screechy voice and she just comes in with like jokes every so often and she doesn't add anything to the conversation.
And she's terrible.
Just so you know, that's a misogynist trope these days.
Well, that's pretty much it if you listen to her.
Misogynist or not.
Let's see what I got.
Is she a comedian?
What is she?
Oh, do you know what?
It's possible.
Because she's not very funny.
Well, that's possible, too.
Do you have a clip?
I have a couple of clips.
Let's start with the Saudi clips.
This is a Saudi-USA double-dealing clip.
That's the one.
Hold on.
Damn, where are these clips?
Ukraine story holes.
It's the Aaron Maté interview, but those two clips are the last two of the group.
I'm trying to think where the rest of them showed up.
It's gotta be Saudi-USA double-dealing.
We'll give it a shot.
We saw the heartwarming- You're right!
You win!
Good job!
We saw the heartwarming scene of John Brennan congratulating the Biden administration for supposedly ending aid to Saudi Arabia's hostilities in Yemen.
Is that a thing to actually be applauded, or I saw you tweeting about that as well.
Yes, well, it's certainly better than what Trump did.
At the last minute, Pompeo designated Ansar Allah, the Houthis, a terrorist organization, which was basically a death sentence for the vast majority of Yemenis because they live under territory controlled by the Houthis.
And so designating them a terrorist organization would have basically cut off aid to all those areas on top of the fact that the country is already under a medieval siege imposed by the U.S.
and Saudi Arabia.
Biden immediately reversed that, which is good.
And he appointed an envoy and he said that we are going to end support for the Saudi war in Yemen.
But you have to look at his words carefully, because he said we're going to end support for offensive Saudi operations in Yemen.
And he also said we're going to, he didn't say we're going to suspend arms sales.
He said we're going to suspend relevant arms sales.
Relative arms sales.
But not irrelevant ones?
Exactly.
This is how the Obama-Biden camp does it.
They're really good at pretending that they're doing something humane while adding these qualifiers that, if you look at the details, amount to basically continuing The same policy or modifying the same policy to make it slightly less murderous, but really still murderous.
And that's the thing.
Actually, if you look at Biden's language, it's very similar to the language that Obama used when he greenlit the Saudi invasion of Yemen back in 2015.
Remember, it wasn't Trump that started the Yemen war.
It was Obama.
The Saudis came to the Obama White House.
There was really no debate inside the White House.
Everybody was on board.
They authorized it.
And Obama, when he announced his support, he talked about it being defensive for Saudi Arabia, that Saudi Arabia needed to defend its territorial integrity.
Oh, it's always nice to hear someone who has some historical facts of where stuff comes from, the genesis of some of these issues.
Bloodthirsty Americans.
Yeah, and I thought this was interesting because I had, uh, Ridiculed Biden for cutting off the Saudis saying that Lockheed and Raytheon aren't going to put up with this.
Right.
Thinking that this is actually happening and this guy Matte who writes for Grayzone.
Now I like that guy.
That guy because he's he's he's a lefty I think.
He's a total lefty, thinks everything is super progressive, thinks Trump was a total douche, but at the same time he went on a long rant about Russiagate being, and he says he knew he was doomed once he said that Russiagate was a hoax.
He says there's plenty of things you could have gone after Trump about, but to create a hoax and then run with it to such an extreme would just hurt everybody and help Trump.
Yeah.
And he's anti-Trump, this guy.
Yeah.
But he says he knew his career was over.
Which, Taibbi said the same thing, because Taibbi also thought Russiagate was a hoax.
Right.
Of course!
It was obvious.
On its face, it was so obvious.
Yeah, to everybody except the hoaxsters, who I think hoax themselves.
But is that the full clip?
Yeah.
OK, go to part two and you get the rest of it.
Biden is now using the same language that Obama used when he authorized this mass murder campaign back in 2015.
It's still better than Trump and Pompeo because they were just like unfettered support for the Saudi genocide.
So it's a good thing.
But if you look at the language they've left, It qualified enough that they could still continue to provide key support, but just call it defensive.
And they could still sell Saudi Arabia arms, but just call it relevant, you know, as opposed to irrelevant arms sales.
Wow.
Go Aaron.
Well, to me, it's the difference between being honest about things and being dishonest and sneaky.
Yeah, exactly.
And this guy, I mean, he was also on Tucker Carlson.
He's going to find himself out of the club pretty soon.
No, he's already out.
In fact, here we have, this is why I wanted these secondary clips.
Isn't his dad also some hoity-toity journalist guy?
I think his dad was a journalist, but the guy who runs Grayzone, which is where he got tangled up, is Blumenthal.
Max Blumenthal, whose dad was Sidney Blumenthal, the bad actor that worked with Hillary.
Here's the story about this.
This is what's interesting.
This is Aaron Maté on Wikipedia and the so-called deprecation.
Switching to another part of the world, what happened recently with Grayzone and Wikipedia?
Oh, well, so that's the thing where, so the Grayzone, which I work for, founded by Max Blumenthal, and we do, you know, like...
I just think we do journalism, but because the US media space is so constrained, and because I think we're one of the few sites that consistently pushes back on prevailing foreign policy narratives, we've been labeled into this box as being anti-imperialist, which I am.
I am anti-imperialist.
I'm fine to be labeled that, but it's almost like...
Well, they use some strange word.
Deprecated?
Is that the word they used?
Yeah, so basically some regime change supporters in Venezuela, they banded together to get gray zone listed as a deprecated source, which means that Self-deprecating.
You and Max are self-deprecating.
Oh, shut up.
They weren't paying tribute to our self-deprecating sense of humor.
We didn't laugh.
They banded together and they got the gray zone listed on Wikipedia as a deprecated source, which means if someone wants to cite our reporting, so like if Max does an expose on how Sheldon Adelson, his company, Help the CIA spy on Julian Assange.
You can't cite that on Wikipedia because it's a deprecated source.
Even me, if I write in The Nation magazine about the OPCW cover-up scandal where the OPCW, the world's top chemical weapons watchdog, they investigated this alleged chemical attack in Syria in April 2018.
Their own investigators found evidence that undermined the allegation that the Assad government was guilty, but they were censored, essentially, and sidelined, and there was a massive cover-up.
So, when I write an article about that in The Nation magazine, not even in The Gray Zone, you can't cite that on Wikipedia because I work for The Gray Zone.
So, by the transitive property of Assad, or guilt by association, you get deprecated by extension?
Are we deprecated now?
You're not, but the more you interview me or Max or other anti-imperialists, the more you risk that.
Yeah, she's super annoying.
This is a great term.
I think this is a no-agenda shop t-shirt.
Deprecated and decentralized.
Deprecated.
Good show title.
This is who we are.
Deprecated and decentralized.
Well, he goes on, and I don't have the clips of this because it was on for a long time.
He goes on about the phony baloney gas attack in Syria and how they busted it, you know, and they're the only ones and no one's ever mentioned it.
It was the White Helmets, another one we were all over.
And he brought up the White Helmets being a bunch of, you know, supported by us.
All the stuff we covered in great detail from a lot of different angles.
Yeah, but do we get a hat tip from Matt Taibbi?
No.
No, of course not.
Do we get a hat tip from Aaron Maté?
No.
Do we even get a bad punchline from the lady?
No.
We do our own bad punchlines.
We're very successful.
We don't need this kind of bullcrap anyway.
We're very successful at our own bad punchlines.
So onward with his little, he does a final thing here about Wikipedia that I thought was fascinating.
There's a whole racket going on with Wikipedia.
There's this one username named Philip Cross, who if you look at the hours he spends on Wikipedia, he spends some ungodly amount of time each day.
More than that exists.
Yeah.
Just constantly editing people's profiles.
He's the chief author on Max Blumenthal's Wikipedia page.
When Max gets like a good review of one of his old books in the New York Times, they literally take that out and they instead add all these like shady sources that insult Max and they use that as the source.
So there's people who are dedicated basically to smearing voices like Max Blumenthal.
And that's who operates inside the Wikipedia orbit.
People who have editing privileges there have tried to appeal, but they've gotten overruled.
There's basically this internal cabal that exists to denigrate anyone who's remotely anti-imperialist and remotely factual when it comes to exposing foreign policy narratives that are in the service of U.S.
hegemony.
You know, there's nothing we can do about it.
And I recommend people go to Le Gray's and read about how we were deprecated, and also read about the network inside Wikipedia, who they are tied to.
It's a regime change racket, and that's who they serve to.
So this notion that Wikipedia is this, like, free page for, like, free information, it's completely... it's not true.
Wow.
Regime change racket.
Another good one.
I like regime change racket.
And by the way, they have people in these cabals at Wikipedia that also make sure to monitor all the global warming skeptics.
Oh, goodness.
Oh, yeah.
Those guys are booted.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I have I have some good global warming stuff for I'm sorry, climate change for after our break.
But just to add to all of this, maybe a quick moment about an update on Julian Assange.
And she did come up in that clip.
Yeah.
Which is not good.
But this is Jen Robinson.
Still his lawyer.
And I remember they were kind of lawyer, boyfriend, girlfriend when she first started.
And she's very elite.
She comes from elite circles.
And we never really trusted her, I recall.
And now I'm going back to the original document release and the videos and when Wikipedia got de-platformed off of MasterCard for their processing.
So she's mature.
She's 10 years older.
She carries herself well and she's extremely concerned for not just Julian but for press freedom itself.
Now, events around the Assange case have been extraordinary and bizarre.
You and other lawyers were put under surveillance by British intelligence, the former head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, we understand, planned to kidnap or assassinate Assange when he was in the Ecuadorian embassy.
Can you really imagine that the US will relent on its intention to put him on trial?
We continue to make an ask of the US government that they drop the charges against Julian because of the important free speech principles at play.
This precedent means that any journalist anywhere in the world could be extradited and face prosecution for publishing truthful information.
That's before we even get into the abusive process in this case, spying on us as his lawyers, spying on Julian.
Seizure of legally privileged material.
So we continue to make the ask of the US government and indeed of the Australian government to ask for this to be put to an end.
Now, the Attorney General Mark Draper said that he's engaged in private talks with the Biden administration about Assange.
Are those talks the last chance that Assange has to avoid extradition to the US?
I mean, this situation is incredibly urgent.
Julian's health is declining in front of our eyes.
He's already suffered a mini-stroke.
He's got COVID right now in prison, which doctors say could be life-threatening for him.
This is a humanitarian situation.
The Australian government needs to take action.
We have had consecutive governments on both sides of politics continue in silence and complicity with this prosecution.
We finally have an Australian Government and a Prime Minister saying enough is enough and we certainly hope that this Australian Government and this Prime Minister will take the action needed to put it to an end.
Now there have been arguments along the way that Assange should actually be brought back to serve any potential sentence here in Australia.
Has the time for that option expired?
The problem with that solution, it is no solution.
He would have to go to the Go to the US, be convicted, exhaust all appeal processes, and we're talking about another decade of legal process.
He won't last that long.
The medical evidence makes clear he won't last that long.
If he is extradited, he will suicide.
This is a very serious situation and one the Australian government needs to be acting upon and acting upon now.
Wow.
He will suicide?
Or he'll be suicided.
Well that was kind of the implication I got.
It's like, wow.
And why it's... so nuts.
He doesn't have any extra information.
What do they need to talk to him about?
I don't even understand anymore it's been so long.
They need... the Australian government needs to step up.
It's one of their citizens.
And just pull him out of there.
And they're in the Commonwealth.
I mean they're closer to Great Britain than we are technically.
They're in the Five Eyes.
Well, we're in the Five Eyes, too.
I know, but... But I'm not talking about the Five Eyes or the spy groups that are cooperative.
No, just part of the Empire.
I'm talking about the British Commonwealth.
Yeah.
And they should be able to just pull him out of there and take him to Australia and, you know, let him go.
And waterboard him there.
So sad.
Yeah, well, but I think there is something to it, that this could have happened to any journalist.
And did you hear about, I don't have any clips or anything, that ABC News journalist who got rousted from his home and hasn't been heard from since?
No, he never got rousted from his home.
He wasn't there when they showed up.
Oh, I thought he got roasted, rousted, rousted.
He may have been rousted, he disappeared.
But he's gone, yeah.
No, he disappeared and his place was empty.
I looked into it quite a bit.
Do you know him?
Do you know that guy?
No, I never heard of him.
But I saw some clips of him.
There's some clips floating around.
I think I posted one on No Agenda Social.
And, you know, he looks like he could, I don't know, anything about the guy.
But he disappeared completely.
And he was going after the army.
Yeah, was it the raid in Niger?
Yes.
Yeah, there was a raid.
ISIS ambush, right.
Yeah, and it was covered up by the United States, by AFRICOM, and it's scandalous, but what the FBI's got to do with it is beyond me, but they're losing credibility left and right.
I do have a clip of the We have a lot of military officers that listen to the show, and a lot of them just irked with what's going on with this forced vaccination and some of the other stuff.
But this one guy sent me a link to this.
The Secretary of the Army woman She is just a nudnick of a... No!
I saw... Wormoose.
Yes.
Yeah.
I mean, I have a clip from her going on and on about equity and all the rest of it, and so that's important to the fighting force.
In terms of soldiers coming from marginalized communities or demographics that are not widely represented in the Army, that's part of why we've got to emphasize positive command climates and inclusion.
We get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke.
I'm not sure what woke means.
I think woke means a lot of different things to different people.
First of all, I would say if woke means we are not focused on war fighting, we are not focused on readiness, that doesn't reflect what I see at installations all around the country or overseas when I go and visit.
But I think we do have a wide range of soldiers in our Army, and we've got to make them all feel included.
And that's why a lot of our diversity, equity, and inclusion programs are important.
In terms of, you know, soldiers coming from marginalized communities.
Oh, you had a double start there.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, I remember this clip from a week or two ago, I think.
Yeah, she's a diverse... She's got no background what she's a... She is a... Consultant.
A consultant.
No, no, she's a federal, she's a professional bureaucrat, a foreign service type person, one of those that is trained to go from embassy to embassy and do this and that, but has no military background whatsoever, probably a spook, and not a particularly interesting one.
PSYOP division.
And she is useless.
Why is she Secretary of the Army?
It makes no sense.
That means she's the big boss.
But what is her point?
Is it for recruitment?
Is she literally saying, hey, we need more black people to get killed?
Is that what she's saying?
No, I think that, well, she could be saying that.
That's part of it.
But they already have enough black people.
That's not what they need.
What do they need?
They need some more Hispanics.
They need some... They need more... Okay.
They got plenty of Hispanics, too.
What am I thinking?
They got blacks, Hispanics.
They don't have enough whites.
But what they don't have enough of is gays and transgenders.
They need more transgender soldiers that need to feel welcome.
That's the last thing the military is about, is your feelings.
But okay, isn't that what they do in boot camp, is remove those?
Remove your feelings?
Well, they try.
So yeah, this is not about blacks, that's for sure, because the army's probably half blacks, and then another third of them are Hispanic, and then we have the whites.
So there's nothing to fix there, it seems to me.
Any more gays, more women, more transgenders?
We know they're short-staffed, so what I have been following online, there's nothing clippable, is recruitment videos are popping up on gamer sites and TikTok, and they look like they're really hot women, you know, going, hey, you know, you should look into joining the army.
I'm not seeing these ads.
Well, they're more like interstitials that just kind of run on TikTok.
There's a lot of people calling it out.
Hey, they're using like hot gamer chicks to try and recruit people.
You just see these guys sitting at home playing video game vaping.
Ah, yeah, that looks like a groovy place.
Look at all that army.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, say, in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in gain or create, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. DeVorek!
In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Kerr, in the morning of the ships at sea.

In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
Trolls are hanging out.
I love the trolls that'll be in there and they'll be like, this is boring.
Who cares?
Who gives an F?
And I love yelling back at them.
Thanks, trolls.
I feel so much better.
I don't have to yell at John then.
It's really appreciated.
The troll room is, you can find it at trollroom.io.
Is everything, did everything settle back into place?
There was a lot of... A lot of fragments today.

Let's see what we can get.
Hmm.
Is that a zero?
I can't tell if it's 1983.
That's 1983?
Yeah, 1983.
Or was it 1903?
I can't count it.
It seems weird.
Well, the 1900s are... 1983 is what it is.
That's Thursday.
Last week was the same as the week before that.
It's 1993.
It's kind of settling in around the mid-1900s.
It must be a Thursday if it's 1993.
Thank you very much, Trolls.

And thank you to the artist for episode 1495, titled Soft Nuts.
And the artwork was Dame Kenny Bend.
It was, I think this was chosen, it felt a little early for Halloween.
This was the evil jack-o'-lantern with all the drugs, the jack-o'-lantern laced with drugs.
It was just a good looking piece with the No Agenda font in Halloween style.
I can't remember what the competition was.
There wasn't any, that's why it won.
Well, there you go, I guess.
There was something else we looked at, I'm pretty sure.
Let's see.
We looked at... We did look at the Fentanyl Lego, but we thought that was not really understandable.
No!
No, no!
You actually wanted Corrector Records Curry Dvorak blue bra.
You actually were very serious about that.
Where's the blue bra?
Oh, it's right there.
It says Curry Dvorak.
Oh, the bra with the Curry and Dvorak label on each of the breasts.
Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't put that in the newsletter.
You were so jacked about it.
Oh yeah, this is great.
I remember you saying, the best one, of course, is the bra.
I remember it.
I remember things very clearly.
And then I'm like, hey man, let's not do that.
That's not kind of cool.
No, I'll do it.
I'll say exactly what you said.
I'll do exactly what you said.
I'll do your voice.
Okay.
No, that's not, that's not really, that's not appropriate.
Did I turn gay all of a sudden in your dream here?
Of how I speak?
It's not appropriate and it's exploitation of the female form.
Yeah, you're right.
You nailed it.
Nailed it.
That's what you said.
You can do the show as both yourself and me now.
I could, I could.
I could be like Phil Hendry, a famous radio guy.
You should end it with an up-talk and a dialing, and then you're good to go.
No, I don't think there was much else.
No, the bra wasn't going to fly.
No, no.
Or fly off, for that matter.
It was just the reason I liked the pumpkin the most is because it was the most dimensional piece.
It was extremely well done art.
It was.
It was very well done.
A little early, I think, for the Halloween celebrations, but since it did come up on the show, it made sense.
And we were clearly one of the first with Halloween artwork, so...
And we're gonna see more of it as we go along.
No doubt.
Thank you very much again Dame Kenny Bend for doing that, and thank you to all the artists who participate.
You can follow it in real time if you're listening to the stream, noagendaartgenerator.com, of course available anytime after the fact, or also in a new podcast app.
We have chapters where it rotates.
Dreb Scott does a great job for us every single show and we appreciate that.
All part of the time, talent, and treasure that our producers, because we don't have listeners, we only have producers, that they put in to make every single episode worth it for all.
Very valuable.
And we also receive value from our executive and associate executive producers.
We'd like to thank them at this moment.
Kicking it off with Amy Byrne from Swannanoa.
What is this?
Swannanoa.
From Swannanoa.
No one will hear the cut.
From Swannanoa in North Carolina.
$333.33.
And I don't believe we have a note from her, do we?
I could find nothing.
No.
Well, in that case, a double up karma for you.
Amy Burns, send us something you got.
You've got... Karma.
Thank you for being an executive producer.
Now, Eric here at Fisher in Langeroff, he wants your voice because you do the voice he loves so much, which he says he sounds like.
And then there's a clip that he wants us to play.
And then before we get to that clip, I have it sent to you.
It's called the Dutch clip.
And I'm gonna ask you a question about it before we play it.
So what is the sequence here?
Do I read the note first?
You read the note, read the guitar note and then before you give him his requested clip.
Okay.
And am I supposed to read it as a Dutchman?
Yeah, a Dutchman.
Okay.
Hey Sean and Adam, this is Erik from Zuid-Limburg.
Zuid-Limburg.
I've been enjoying your entertain... If he's from South Limburg, he would have a very soft G. So instead of... The Limburgers say... So I will do it properly.
I've been enjoying your Entertaining No Agenda show for some time, but I never got around to donating.
But with the rising food inflation and the upcoming recession, I felt it was my turn to help you guys stay afloat.
I do want to share one thing with you guys.
I was listening to another great podcast and laughed out loud when I heard this.
Is this is what I'm supposed to play it or I wait?
No, no.
Okay.
I'm going to ask you a question.
Okay.
What is the question?
I had listened to this clip and he just thinks it's hilarious.
I found it to be just one of the dullest clips imaginable.
No offense, Eric.
So I figured it must be something Dutch that makes this clip so funny.
So I'm asking you since you can have a Dutch sense of humor.
You explain to me why this clip is hilarious.
Okay, and this is Adam again talking, and he leads into this clip with, I think these 10 seconds have a great value for your listeners.
Nobody was questioning whether we were sick.
They were saying, how much medicine do we need?
You know, when you're sick and you take some medicine, you feel better.
If you take too much medicine, you know, you could be talking like you're Al Sharpton the rest of your life.
Bad things can happen.
Adam speaking.
Well, clearly what he's saying is if you take too much of their medicine, you begin talking like an idiot, like Al Sharpton, which is what we always play in these segments, in the donation segment.
Yeah.
So it's, you know...
So that's where the hilarity should ensue?
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
OK.
The podcast is Philosophize This.
To all you freedom living slaves out there, I highly recommend episode 121.
That's it.
Keeping my note short.
So thank you for your courage.
And I hope you never find an exit strategy.
All the best.
Eric Fischer.
Eric Fischer.
Jingles, what do you think, man?
Give me some Al Sharpton.
Student athletes routinely lose scholarships.
There we go.
All right, thank you for your 3.33 from Landgraf, the Netherlands.
And we're already down to the Associate Executive Producers on this very slow day, very slow Thursday.
Sir Cal of Lavender Blossoms, our buddy, 234... Hey!
234 should be 56, but it's 234... 23427.
I wonder why.
Because that's his commission of the... Oh, oh, okay.
Howdy, folks!
Howdy, folks!
Thanks for all you do!
SirCalLavenderBlossoms.org!
Thank you, Sir Cal.
Outstanding products.
Products that we use, personally, without endorsement.
All right, it's really my day today.
Alex Perkins from Olathe, Olathe, Olathe.
I'm having every problem.
Olathe, Kansas.

And Alex writes, have you given up on inserting wine and food recommendations into the show?
Hopefully not!
My wife, whom is a striking classic beauty with a heart of gold, and I are going on an anniversary trip, our 11th year to your neck of the woods!
It's our first trip to the area, how can we make the most of it?
Your recommendations on location slash wine slash food would be dynamite!
If it suits to read on the air, that's fine.
When the show occasionally diverts from its typical deconstruction to lighter topics, it's great.
Below are the various destinations we've collected from others.
So this is all California, one country... Yeah, I'm in contact with him and I'll let him know where I think he should list.
I will say that...
Just going to Buena Vista is not going to be productive, to say the least.
I love that.
Buena Vista, not productive.
Okay, but you'll handle that with them offline.
Yeah, I want to know what their real itinerary is and I can give them some tips.
For anyone who wants to come to the Napa Valley, you know, what you really want to do is you want to sneak over one valley over to the Sonoma Valley, which has just as many wineries.
And generally speaking, the wine tastings are free.
The Napa Valley, which is extremely popular, they always charge you 5 bucks, 10 bucks for a taste of this and that.
You just go over to the Sonoma Valley.
And line up all your wineries, and they're all pretty much along the same one road there.
You can taste mostly free.
It's mostly free, and the wines are just as good as Napa's.
If it's cheaper, John C. has the line.
You got it.
No matter what it is, if it's cheaper, he'll send you there.
Yeah, cheaper and as good.
That's the point.
It's not like cheaper and cheaper.
And the proper word is inexpensive.
Correct.
Alex winds up his list with, I'll defer to you regarding jingles and other stuff with that also, but the general butt-kissing of how great the show is.
Someone else's job karma request will bleed over I'm sure and we can spare the repeat jingles at your discretion.
So this is what I would call a no jingle no karma donation.
And it turns out we have a jingle for that now.
And change.
And change.
Need no sound bites at this time.
Come on, man.
That's beautiful.
NJNK.
If I count Dirty Digs, Dirty Dick Bangs, I'm sorry, Dirty Dick Bangs of D.C.
and Washington.
He's in Washington, D.C.
Washington.
Two hundred bucks.
What have they done for me?
Time to pitch in and support the best podcast in the universe.
Shout outs and karma.
Team ABC.
Arthur Campbell Bangs, age 5, loves goat screams.
Yeah, hold on.
Yes.
That's a goat.
Barrett Alexander Bangs, age 6, loves the drone take-off sound effect.
And I had it all ready for him, too.
Here it goes.
There it goes.
Get it out of here.
Colton Reed Bangs Age.
She also loves Goat Scream.
Karma.
Big sales karma for daddy so I can keep supplying the dream to my human resources as well as the douchebags who don't donate.
Will Guerin and all the Indian listeners except the one guy looking at you.
Okay.
Uh, is there a- No, he says, thanks for everything, folks.
Oh, I'm gonna say, thanks for everything, folks.
Karma to every- all the douchebags if I count dirty dickbags.
Okay.
You've got... Karma.
Oh, and that was it?
Wow.
Yeah, short and sweet.
Very short.
Okay.
Uh, thank you to these executive and associate executive producers.
Now you own, you own it, the lifetime forever credit of exactly that.
Executive producer of The Noah Jenner Show, episode 1496, or associate exec, as you wish, and you should take advantage of that because these are the things that, uh...
Our formula is this.
certainly in the economy we're heading into.
No one cares about your college education anymore.
Do you have experience?
Why, yes, I do.
And if you'd like a reference, we'll vouch for you.
It's that simple.
If you'd like to learn more about becoming an exec or associate executive producer, go here to vorac.org.
Thank you again to all of these people who supported the No Agenda Show.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
We go out, we go out, we go out.
World.
Order.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Had a little bit of climate change stuff that I think we need to talk about.
Because I think there's a setup, setup, setup.
Well first let's talk about water.
There you go.
Let's talk about water.
Um, this sounds like bullcrap.
Farmers who transport crops on the Mississippi River say low water levels will be causing food prices to rise even higher.
The river is nearing a record low in some areas due to the drought.
Farmers say that's forcing them to move crops and trucks, which is more expensive than river barges, and those costs will eventually be passed on to consumers.
So this apparently is a fractal of 1976 when we had the exact same conditions, same negative water, and it turned out okay.
But then you have the Colorado River.
That was empty.
But is this the worst for how long do you think?
Probably not as long as we'd like to imagine.
This is Senator Mark Kelly.
Senator Kelly, we'll start with you.
45 seconds.
Let's start there and see how far we go.
We're facing short-term, long-term cuts of Colorado River water.
How do we address this issue?
And it is an issue.
It's a major issue.
I mean, this is the worst drought that this part of the planet has seen in a thousand years.
It's been going on 22 years.
Oh, my God.
A thousand years.
I don't know what he's talking about.
What is that sound effect?
You know, someone put that together for me, and it was there.
He cut the clip like that, which I thought was funny.
You should pull it out, because I think that's a replacement for Theremin.
Ooh, I'll have him send me the ISO of it.
I'll bet he has it.
And then, oh my god!
Yeah, I think that's the best part.
So I think that we're at a point now, particularly, and this will be kind of interesting because Elon Musk is, you know, clearly in a weak position at the moment with Tesla more than anything.
I think we may at the point where we start to flip the script on electric vehicles and start to push towards clean hydrogen.
I mean, everywhere you turn, all the projects are clean hydrogen, green hydrogen, which we know from the experts, hydrogen cars, sure.
Green hydrogen cars?
That'll be about 10 years before they figure that out, if ever.
Am I misstating the facts?
Well, what do you mean?
I don't know what you're talking about.
The hydrogen they're creating now is made with dirty energy, because that's the way they have to do it.
With fossil fuels.
I think that's probably true.
Yeah, with fossil fuels.
They've got to electrolyze the water.
Regular water.
And it takes energy to do that.
And they're telling us that, don't worry, we'll cover it with the solar panels.
I mean, you need a lot of energy for hydrolysis.
But okay, I'm sure they can do it.
So now we get the discrediting of the electric vehicles, because hydrogen, that wouldn't be electric, it's actually combustion, and then out the exhaust comes water, which is... Or it could be a fuel cell, you can also use a fuel cell.
Well, that's even less likely, according to you, that a fuel cell is going to happen anytime soon?
Yeah, it is less likely.
But it's cool.
So now we have a 25 megawatt Arklow Bank wind farm on fire.
The batteries are on fire, but ABC had this long report, I got a couple of choice little chopped up clips here, about the Teslas in Florida after Hurricane Ian.
Oh yeah, this should be good.
Oh yeah, and they don't even call out Tesla per se, it's electric vehicles.
They're going after him and, I mean, ABC has got to be on the know for the depth of this report.
Now with an urgent alert in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
In Florida, some electric vehicles have been bursting into flames.
Our chief national correspondent, Matt Gutman, has more on some of the hurricane-damaged vehicles.
Good morning, Matt.
Hey, good morning, Robin.
So this is a typical lot where they'd store cars that have been totaled by flood damage.
You can see how closely parked all those vehicles are.
And this is a field where they have to store EVs so they don't burst into flames and burn anything else down.
And right now in Florida, officials are sounding the alarm and they're asking the federal government for guidance.
All right, so...
Let's get some details on how bad this really is.
Let's get some boots on the ground with some firefighters.
In Hurricane Ian's aftermath, electric vehicles bursting into flames spontaneously after being damaged in floodwaters.
Car batteries catching fire, prompting an urgent new warning from the state.
Is the theory that when salt water interacts with these EV batteries, they turn into something of a time bomb?
Well, we just can assume that that's contributing to it, because all these are storm-damaged vehicles that were flooded.
It's a real concern among firefighters, those fires proving very difficult to put out.
So, how much water would you put on a typical gas-powered car?
Sometimes we just take a tank of water on the engine, around 750 to 1,000 gallons.
How much on something like this?
These, you know, we're doing 8,000 plus gallons of water, just constant flow, trying to cool them down and stop the battery.
So like 10 to 12 times the amount of water is required to put a car out like this.
Easily.
An EV.
Correct.
Is that not bad for the environment, this waste of water to put these things out?
Not to imagine what kind of smoke gets in the air.
Yeah.
Lithium salts of some sort.
Yeah, nice.
Can't be good to breathe.
Yeah, Tesla smoke.
Tesla smoke.
Tea smoke.
Yeah, Tesla smoke.
Alright, now everyone's unhappy with these things, including, you know, guys who typically are happy with broken down cars, but no, not the tow truck guys anymore.
Tim Baker towed this Tesla to his lot after firefighters put it out.
I went back in my office, got a drink, sat down on the couch, and one of my employees yelled, hey, there's a fire.
Baker had to push the car out into the street.
Another eventful day.
And you can see the car still on skids, pumping smoke, sputtering into flames.
They had to plunk it in the drainage ditch.
There are an increasing number of tow truck drivers and companies who are just refusing to tow these vehicles.
Yeah, pretty much so.
I mean, they're very dangerous cars to tow.
They have a potential to catch fire at pretty much any time.
Okay, so Elon clearly needs to up his game with some... They don't advertise, but he's got to give somebody... Maybe it's because he didn't give... Is Gayle ABC?
Or is she CBS?
Gayle's CBS, right?
Gayle, I think, is CBS, yeah.
Maybe he didn't give Stephanopoulos an interview.
I'm like, you know, we're going to show you, you little punk.
So now, we're just going to make... Remember, they haven't mentioned Tesla at all, which is the great part about it, because they're discrediting a whole sector.
Elon has good marketing PR people that call up and make a fuss.
The problem that they have when they call up and make a fuss, I think, from my experience, is that they don't have any advertising leverage, which a lot of companies like to have.
IBM used to have a lot.
They have none!
They have no advertising levers, so all they can do is just throw, you know, well, you're against climate change, you're a horrible person, you're a Nazi or Trump lover, I don't know what they can tell them.
But whatever the case is... How about your shit explodes on contact with water?
And by the way, if you have some flooding, which happens all the time all over the place... Okay, I'll be the PR person.
You're going to be that person that just said what you said.
I said, look, we don't have, there's no reason to slam us.
We have, we're doing the environmental right thing to do.
And you're right.
You're slamming us.
Are you Tesla now?
Are you Tesla?
I'm Tesla.
Shut up.
Give me Elon.
I want Elon.
Elon does an interview.
Or we continue the pressure.
You went in the wrong direction.
I can't do my bit.
I don't understand what you want me to do.
I want you to push back and say, look, we're going to talk about these burning cars, and I'm going to say, well, it's all electric cars, not just Tesla's.
That's what we're going to do at your torch.
Yeah, so we have a piece that's running, and I'm on a deadline, so if you'd like to comment at all, we are going to talk about how these cars burst into flames, and you really, you can't even store them near each other because one might ignite the other one.
Do you have any comments?
Is that okay if we just use that?
It's not our cars, it's all electric cars.
It's all electric cars.
We're going to sue your ass if you say it's us.
It's all electric cars.
General Motors makes them.
Ford makes them.
Ford makes a bunch of them.
And everybody's bragging about doing these cars.
BMW's doing them.
Everybody's doing them.
So why are you going to point... If you're going to isolate and point at us, we're suing you.
We're going to sue you.
We're going to file papers tonight.
Good point.
Thank you very much.
We'll get back to you.
Okay, guys.
Guys, I just got off the phone with Legal, so we can't actually say it's Tesla, but we can show the pictures of these freaking cars blowing up!
Yeah, that's what you do.
That's exactly what happened.
Let's continue.
And storing flooded EVs is increasingly a problem.
This field has been specifically designated for electric vehicles that have been flooded out by Hurricane Ian.
Every single one of them has to be spaced 50 feet apart in case they spontaneously burst into flames.
The traditional cars in this lot parked on the other side, they can be parked close together.
And this is another 70s throwback in a very odd way.
What was the, what was wrong with the car of the 70s?
The Pinto would catch fire and it would burst into flames.
Yeah, when you got rear-ended, they'd blow up.
Yeah.
Even I remember that.
Oh, the Pinto, the Pinto.
And my, I remember my mom said, I'm glad we don't have a Pinto that burst into flames at any moment.
Yeah.
It was a great job on that one.
All right.
So Florida is calling for help on this, man.
This is so bad.
Even DeSantos can't fix it.
Bobby Schneider, who trains first responders on handling EV fires, says the potential dangers remain.
That's part of our concern is that when they come into areas that have no electricity and they restore power to the grid, what about the vehicles that are sitting in garages or parking garages that were plugged in, charging before the storm surge happened?
And now Florida State Fire Marshal calling on federal officials for action.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration responding in a letter acknowledging the problem, writing, Lithium-ion vehicle battery fires have been observed both rapidly igniting and igniting several weeks after battery damage occurred.
That's State Fire Marshal now calling on EV companies to pitch in.
We need you to lean forward, partner with us, and understand how we can protect our first responders, how we can save people's homes from burning down.
And you know what's going to happen next?
You will have to pay a premium on your insurance if you have an electric vehicle plugged in at home.
Because these things, you know, they're unstable.
We're going to see more of these reports catching fire without flooding, just without flooding, just boom, something gone, done.
And the beauty is, it's kind of true.
These things are dangerous.
It's just, it was never marketed that way.
We were all in awe of Elon.
And just to satisfy the PR company who said they were going to sue us, let's do a little disclaimer thing at the end here.
So folks at home have cars that have been damaged in floodwaters, especially saltwaters.
You're going to want to make sure that the car is unplugged.
You might want to alert authorities so they can keep it 50 feet away from anything else.
And guys, it is important to note that every expert we spoke to said that these vehicles are not inherently more dangerous than traditional gas-powered cars.
They just have to be handled differently, and first responders will have to be trained across the country in how to better deal with them and get them safely to a recycling facility.
Guys, gotta keep that in mind.
You're right about that.
She says that so we don't get sued.
Gotta keep that in mind.
You're right about that.
Very important fact.
Thank you.
Now we can't get sued.
And we can't get sued.
That's pretty much it.
I think the next thing we'll hear, and I don't know who's gonna do it, but someone's gonna start pushing, you know, it'll be the same template, I think, that Elon used, you know, get something small and cool and that, you know, they can put some Hollywood types in, and it'll be a safe hydrogen vehicle.
Something like that.
It's coming.
There's also one other possibility.
Oh, okay.
Batteries that can't explode.
Yeah, well, I'm still waiting for this great battery technology.
Well, you may be waiting for a while, but it's hot, but if anyone's going to do it, it'll be Elon.
Elon, he'll have the, he'll come up with some big announcement about some new, they're using nickel hydride plus or some new version of one of these old battery, they're old technologies, all from the 1800s.
Yeah.
But they come up with some old zinc air battery or something that won't explode.
That's a real battery.
And, uh, yeah, I know.
I know.
And the cool thing about a zinc air battery is you can just drive into a station and they can swap out the zinc, put new zinc in.
And that failed before.
There was a company that did that.
It'll fail again.
These things fail and fail.
But now I have, since you're on climate and cars.
Yeah.
I got a lot of unknown information from this clip about the BMW electric cars that are going to be rolling out, but mostly the BMWs that are built in the United States and South Carolina.
Do you know?
Well, listen to this clip.
Tell me you knew this.
Automaker BMW has announced it plans to spend 1.7 billion dollars for electric car production at its plant in South Carolina.
South Carolina Public Radio's Vince Coblugo reports.
BMW says more than half of that money, 1 billion, will help prepare the Spartanburg campus to make battery-powered vehicles.
The other 700 million will go towards building a new high-voltage battery fabrication plant.
The Spartanburg plant currently makes two plug-in hybrid electric vehicles With our plans, we are anticipating the growing demand for all electric vehicle models not only here in the United States, but also around the whole globe.
The Spartanburg plant remains the German automaker's largest production facility in the world and the largest car exporter in the United States.
Did you know that most of the BMWs around the world are made in the United States?
I think I did.
And most of the exported cars from the United States are BMWs made here?
I didn't know about the export.
I knew they made a lot of them here.
I didn't know that the export are made here as well.
That's odd, especially since it's...
Well, so what happened to the German engineering?
You're talking about South Carolinians?
Are they the ones you have to take to pick up the slack on German engineering?
It's not German engineering, it's American.
They got no electricity.
Well, actually, looking back on it, it's a good decision, you know, to move it here, but... But it's really smart.
You know, what I like about this BMW move is, one day before, you know, BMW also owns Rolls Royce.
And they announced the $400,000 Rolls-Royce EV.
So they got the high end, you know, and then this is a very good marketing thing.
It's like, okay, here's the, here's the one you really want.
You really want the Corvette, but you can't really afford that.
So you get the Camaro.
Uh, so I, yeah.
I don't know, but I don't know, man.
Someone like Toyota's going to win this, and they're going to have some hydrogen thing, and everyone's going to be sad, and they're going to put them out of business.
I don't... This whole thing is... It makes no sense.
We proved this.
Nothing has really improved with battery technology since the last time we used these things in the late 1800s.
Yeah, these are very popular cars.
Yes, but it really, until combustion came along and said, hey.
Yeah, someone came, I know it was a reverse, it was like, look at this, look at this engine, you put a little gasoline, it goes forever, and you just put some more gasoline in it, it keeps going, the battery car, you gotta haul it back home and put it on a charger.
And here's the one that irks me.
Every single day, there's another announcement by some drone company that has come up with, you know, the one-person, two-person drone.
And they fly, you know, they're real.
You know, they work.
They range from $100,000 to $300,000.
You know, of course, only a few people might actually be able to get some.
But it's all vaporware horse crap because the specs, these things, oh, it'll fly 100 miles an hour for 20 minutes.
Because this battery, they're all like, oh, invest in us because the battery technology that you heard from John C. Dvorak is coming.
DELON is going to bring us better batteries.
Don't worry.
Invest now while stocks last.
And it's all vaporware.
Especially the Chinese stuff, man.
They do videos where you actually think people are flying in this car and it's just an edit of them sitting on the ground in the model and then a CGI flying car.
It's horse crap.
These electric planes?
No!
Of course you can make a plane fly on electricity for a limited amount of time.
Yeah, 20 minutes.
It's about the right number.
Oh, this is great!
And it has to take another week to charge it up again.
No, no, it's exactly what you said.
You land at the airport and then they pop a new battery in because, you know, we got nothing but batteries stored there.
No danger there.
Store it next to the fuel tanks, boys!
Come on!
Let's get real about this.
Here's my last battery.
This is my battery clip.
Battery beat Biden money.
One second.
The White House is awarding nearly $3 billion in grants to boost U.S.
production of electric vehicle batteries.
As NPR's Barbara Sprott reports, it's the latest move to help reduce the country's dependence on China.
The grants are funded through the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law.
Nearly $3 billion will be spread among 20 manufacturing and processing companies for projects across 12 states.
President Biden had previously set a goal for electric vehicles to make up half of all new vehicle sales by 2030.
With more electric vehicle sales, the demand for batteries and the critical minerals that go into those batteries has grown and is going to continue to grow.
The White House says these grants will enable the development of enough lithium to supply roughly 2 million electric vehicles annually and establish significant domestic production of graphite and nickel.
Oh yeah, we forgot about that.
Weren't we going to rape Canada's soil for that?
Wasn't Canada our partner, or the EU's partner, for the lithium?
For the lithium to use Canadian children to troll in the mines and get all the horrible rare earth minerals?
A lot of lithium in South America, and they could do the same thing.
And then, of course, just on the climate change tip, which is directly responsible for this energy crisis, we have this.
Today, President Biden is expected to authorize the release of 15 million barrels of oil from the nation's emergency stockpile in an attempt to bring down gas prices.
It will mark the last of the 180 million barrels Biden previously pledged to release.
Definitely more supply could lead to cheaper gas prices.
But critics say the 15 million barrels is a drop in the bucket, considering the U.S.
consumes about 20 million barrels per day.
More supply is always better for gas prices, but we're just going to have to see what happens with demand and also with food oil prices.
Although Biden is making the announcement today, the 15 million barrels will not be released until December.
I mean, that's called not keeping your powder dry.
You're done.
You got nothing left.
You got announcements about you doing something that's not going to make a difference.
Yeah.
That's pretty bad.
That's pretty bad.
I have this one clip that's kind of climate related.
But it's not really about climate, it's about that, you know that asteroid they poked with a satellite dart?
Yes, the dart.
If you listen to this missing information on this clip, I want to talk, I wanted to get this out of the way, this is the dart report with missing information.
NASA's mission to move an asteroid has apparently been an earth-shattering success.
For the first time ever, humanity has changed the orbit of a planetary body.
What happened to Bruce Willis doing it?
That's the Space Agency's Lori Glaze.
As NPR's Jeff Brumfield reports, the test proves there's at least one way to defend Earth from an incoming space rock.
This was NASA's plan to save the world.
Take a spaceship the size of a golf cart and smack it into an asteroid the size of an Egyptian pyramid at 14,000 miles an hour.
Step one, steer the golf cart into the asteroid.
Not exactly easy.
Both are moving really fast and space is really big.
But they did it.
And we have impact!
In late September, the little spacecraft known as DART splatted like a bug on the windshield of its target asteroid called Dimorphos.
Dimorphos actually orbits a bigger asteroid called Didymos, which brings us to Step 2.
Researchers had to figure out if the splat did anything.
Or, in technical terms, did DART change the time it takes Dimorphos to go around Didymos?
At yesterday's press conference, NASA scientists announced that they'd measured the change at around 32 minutes, which is good?
So, a period change of 32 minutes is spectacular and exciting.
Nancy Chabot is a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory where the mission is based.
She says the change in time means the path of dimorphos around Didymos also changed.
Demorphos just now orbits ever so slightly closer to Didymos than it used to previously.
So, job done.
Asteroid moved.
Not that it really matters this time.
Neither of these asteroids are on a collision course with Earth.
But NASA's Lori Glaze says the space agency now wants to step up its search for asteroids that are.
Because the sooner humanity finds them, the easier it'll be to move them out of the way.
So what was the missing info?
The missing info, which could create a little, it seems to me to be important, also a point of discussion, is that they meant to move it 11 minutes.
Oh.
And they hit, the calculation was it was going to change it 11 minutes.
That was in the early reports.
11 minutes, but it turned out to be 32 minutes and they were ever so happy.
I'm thinking, what, 3X wrong?
Yeah, you know, you can just see the headline.
Uh-oh.
Darphimus, now direct path with the Earth.
I mean, it seems to me that that's a point of discussion.
You had all these calculations and you managed to hit this thing.
Is there time and space?
I don't understand.
What is this minutes?
I think it was the orbital time.
Orbital minutes?
It was going to reduce the orbit by 11 minutes, reduce it by 32, something like that.
You know, to me, that's a failure.
I'm kind of with you on that.
Caveat!
Minimum a caveat!
At least they should have said something about it.
That's what I meant by missing information.
I got you.
And why isn't it in the report?
It should be, and it should be discussed.
No, because there's something up.
They're up to no good.
That's probably the reason.
They're up to no good.
There's something up.
All right, back to climate change.
So the Netherlands, also a country that is going through a gas crunch and tripling electricity and natural gas prices, just to make sure everything works out as planned, they have now shut down the gas field.
The gas field they still had in use?
Because, you know, we can't be using gas.
These people are crazy.
And the Guardian reports that the... Say that again.
They had a gas field that was in use?
Yeah, the Netherlands has had... I mean, the Netherlands has tons of gas in the North Sea.
And they just shut that down so they can freeze the people out?
What was the point of it?
This is the Groningen field.
That's where Void Zero lives, the one that was causing all the earthquakes because they were, you know, extracting the gas.
Oh yeah, these are those kinds of gas fields.
It contains enough natural gas to meet nearly all of the region's needs for some time to come.
The bad news is they're shutting down all gas drilling.
And what's funny is now they're saying, you know what the excuse is for shutting it down?
Well, we were causing earthquakes and people were complaining.
For ten years!
For ten years people have been complaining.
Now they decide to shut it down?
Please.
That's a bogus excuse at this point.
Unreal.
They shut it down ten minutes after they started.
Not ten years later.
Unreal.
And then I would say the most important climate change because you know and I think this one this one may actually work.
Finally some climate change PR that I can get behind.
A new study you know that that's that's here's the propaganda but I'm liking it.
A new study this is from New York Post.
A new study suggests that long-term air pollution exposure is linked to women gaining weight.
Particularly ladies in their late 40s and 50s.
Uh-huh.
There you have it.
There you go.
You want less climate change, ladies?
We can keep that waist slim and slender.
So, you know, I had a clip a couple of shows ago about Bill Gates and these other guys.
I don't know if you've played it or not.
Wanting to, uh...
Block out the sun.
Yeah, we played it the other day.
Yeah, we did.
It burns.
The GeoAerosolInjectionEngineering.com.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
What about it?
No news on that front.
Oh, you wanted to play the clip again?
No, I got nothing.
I'm sorry.
No, I don't want to play it again.
Never mind.
Okay.
Nothing's going to top the air pollution causes.
Big asses.
Yeah.
Well, but things are happening.
You know, Sweden has their new right-of-center government, or conservative government, and the new Swedish government has just done away with the environment ministry altogether.
Ah, they got a clue.
Yeah, I was like, nope, that's it, we're done.
They should also extradite, uh, what's her name, uh, Greta.
Extradite?
You mean deport?
Get rid of her.
Deport.
Extradite.
Yes, extradite has a secondary meaning.
Deport.
I don't know what to write down.
Deport Greta.
Deport Greta.
There's a show titled Deport Greta.
There's another t-shirt too.
I mean, you could have a picture of her.
I mean, it just seems right.
Deport Greta.
Deport Greta.
All right, so here's what the European Unions are doing.
Besides shutting down gas fields, you know, Queen Ursula is running with her plan.
The ongoing crisis is a result of soaring and unstable energy prices It's still a huge problem for the European Union.
Ahead of winter, the EU is proposing a new set of measures aimed at reducing the cost for citizens and companies.
One of them is to reduce price volatility on the main index used to set gas prices, the title transfer facility or TTF.
This mechanism will establish a dynamic price limit for transactions on the TTF benchmark.
In the medium term, Brussels also wants to create a benchmark only for liquefied natural gas to complement the one used until now, the TTF, which the Commission says is no longer reflecting the market situation.
In addition, and to protect supply and price, the EU wants to make it mandatory for member states to buy at least 15% of their gas for storage through a joint purchase to avoid outbidding each other.
At the same time, the Commission also wants to increase energy solidarity among countries in the EU to avoid shortages during this winter.
For now, there are only six solidarity agreements in place, but the EU wants this number to rise to around 40 through default solidarity rules within the treaties.
And after several months of facing pressure from EU government, the Commission says it's now ready to start a debate for other proposals, like the introduction of the so-called Iberian exception, which caps the price of gas used to produce electricity, available only for Spain and Portugal, but potentially brought to an EU level.
Something the Commission was reluctant to examine for several months.
The proposals and other ideas, like a cap on gas prices, will be discussed by EU leaders at a meeting at the end of the week.
Sounds like they better get that clean hydrogen going soon, because this is not working.
Her plan is not panning out.
No, she's done.
You say that, but I don't think she's done.
This type of character in European politics is never done.
These hang around, like an old toilet bowl on the lawn.
Just never really go away.
You mean like Christine Lagarde?
There you go.
The Guardian reports that the BBC is preparing secret scripts for possible use during the pending winter blackouts in the UK.
Yeah, the scripts seen by the Guardian.
Have the scripts been leaked?
Well, the scripts seen by the Guardian set out how the corporation would reassure the public in the event that a, quote, major loss of power causes mobile phone networks, internet access, banking systems, or traffic lights to fail across England, Wales, and Scotland.
They go on to say, what are you drinking?
Ugh, I'm drinking Evian Mind Control.
Wait a minute, I'm sorry, I read it wrong.
Evian Mind Magnesium Zinc Raspberry and Ginseng Mineral Enhanced Drink.
Do you purchase this yourself or is this a promotional item that DoorDash gave you?
You know, I was thinking about this.
You know, I'm plugging these products.
I should get a case.
Occasionally, if somebody who wants me to test their product out in a carbonated form on the show.
Just a case.
I'm not asking much.
I'm not, you know, trying to corrupt the show.
But I'll give it a once over.
But no, I got nothing.
I got nothing for free.
I got this as a discounted deal over at the grocery warehouse.
I told you.
It was a freebie.
Like, hey, we got a gift for you.
It was cheap.
It wasn't free.
Oh, you paid for that.
I don't know what's wrong with you, man.
Chemicals.
It's got ginseng!
Yeah, sure.
It's got electrolytes!
Look, does it say it contains bioengineered food ingredients?
I don't think, well, okay, now that you mention it, let me take a look.
Where is the ingredients?
Ingredients!
Evian, natural spring water, carbon dioxide, we know what that is, magnesium sulfate, natural flavors, we don't know what that is, and zinc sulfate.
Natural flavors, they just spit in it.
Flavored!
Maybe.
The public would be advised to use car radios or battery-powered receivers to listen to emergency broadcasts on FM long-wave frequencies usually reserved for Radio 2 and Radio 4.
One draft BBC script warns that a blackout could last for up to two days with hospitals and police placed under, quote, extreme pressure.
Another says... There's hardly a hospital in the world that doesn't have backup generators.
Another says, quote, the government has said it hoped power will be restored in the next 36 to 48 hours.
Different parts of Britain will start to receive intermittent supplies before then.
Liz's trust got out just in time.
Oh, yeah.
This is why they should put Bojo back in.
Let him deal with that.
No one wants the gig now.
No, I think you might be right.
Who would want that?
Because that's what's going to happen.
They plan this stuff in advance and you're the Prime Minister, you're going to get blamed.
They're prognosticating it.
Isn't that crazy?
What a world we live in.
They're literally turning off the solution.
And the European, except for the French.
The French, they get it.
They're out protesting.
You don't see it.
There's hundreds of thousands of people, I think, that are protesting across France.
They're so sick of it.
Yeah, but it's not going to make any difference.
I haven't seen one report in this country, I know about the protests.
They want to get out of the EU.
They want to end the war in Ukraine.
They want to stop supporting the Ukrainians.
It's a bunch of complaining.
Yeah, they don't want that pansy running the show anymore, Macron.
They're tired of him.
I know.
I know.
It's really interesting what's going on.
But there's no reporting on it at all?
No.
So we've been tracking the bullcrap vape wars for several years now.
And as predicted, finally the decloaking takes place.
Altria sells U.S.
ICOS rights to Philip Morris for $2.7 billion.
These smokeless, combustible tobacco products of Philip Morris, ICOS, was always intended to replace the vape, and now watch the PR campaign start.
It was always the plan from the beginning.
We can't have children and adults using anything that makes them feel good or what they want to do.
It has to contain tobacco, otherwise the system breaks.
The tax breaks don't work.
The master states agreement doesn't work.
It could kill the bond market.
They need to... The bond market, yeah.
Oh man, I was... This is the last thing, we gotta take a break.
I was watching this documentary.
Let me see what it's called.
I have it linked in the show notes.
It's... It is... What is it called?
Borrowed Future.
How student loans are killing the American dream.
And, you know, so we know about student loans.
And what dawned on me was not...
Oh, Biden getting rid of them, it's inflationary.
None of that really matters.
What dawned on me is the subjects in this documentary, orthodontists, nurses, teachers, all kinds of people who graduate You know, get a coveted job in medicine at a hospital, at a practice, you know, the orthodontist was a great example, or you're a teacher, and you have three, four, five, in the medical field, 700,000, a million dollars in student loans.
And I think this is how the capture takes place.
Lawyers too.
This is how the capture takes place.
You follow the protocol, you follow the guidelines, otherwise you'll get fired and you're really screwed because then you can't pay off that huge debt which only gets bigger with interest payments because it's all commercial loans.
I think this is kind of the root of the capture.
These student loans.
It's such a scam.
I didn't know that Sally Mae was completely separated.
That's now 100% commercial.
There's no, supposedly no government involvement in their backing of the student loans.
It's a mess.
I would say yes, the student loan thing was a scam and a mess.
The thing is that what made it funny, if you have a sense of humor, was the fact that as they introduced the idea and the government decided to take over the business.
When I was a kid, you can get a student loan, but it was always from a bank and it was not a lot of money.
They saw the demand for these student loans, that kids are just going to go into debt to go to school.
The colleges all started raising their tuitions because they basically get all the money.
It's like the scam for, it's like the polling scam where you sell people that everyone's going to vote Democrat so you can get the money from the Republicans to advertise.
It's just, it's like a circular scam.
It's like, oh, Okay, well we'll just jack up our tuition rates to amount to the student loans, so the student's got to take out even more money to even go to the school they began with.
And now the tuitions on many of the state-level colleges and universities is the same as the top private schools, which didn't get a clue until they started jacking it up as much as they did.
They jacked it up too eventually, but they took a little longer.
So there needs to be a class action suit.
Against universities, Sallie Mae, government officials, anybody we can find.
That would just be good for the country.
But I still see this as the real problem being people are stuck.
They have to stay in their shitty jobs.
Otherwise, they get screwed.
And it turns out, I'm digging deeper into this, that the idea that you cannot go bankrupt and have your student loan as a part of the bankruptcy.
That's the biggest scam.
I think that's I think it's maybe not true there is a way that you can do that I'm looking into Well, I'd like to know which way it is, because as far as I can tell, Clinton put a lot of these things in play.
I thought Biden did that in Delaware.
That was part of his whole Delaware scam.
Well, it's a national thing, and I think it was during the Clinton administration, but I could be wrong.
But whatever the case, it is in play, and there's also other kinds of bankruptcy things that have gone.
In the olden days, if you went bankrupt, you were just absolved of all your debts.
Right.
And that made everybody more cautious.
But now, credit card companies, for example, you don't, you can't, you know, you still owe them money if you go bankrupt.
What?
So they just push it.
I mean, if you could lose your credit card debt instantly with a bankruptcy, they wouldn't let you get away with racking your bill up to, you know, $40,000 in credit card debt.
Yeah, good point.
A trillion dollars for the country.
Good point, good point.
They just wouldn't do it.
Unless they psyoped everybody into believing it.
Look, you can sue anybody in America for anything.
Kanye, yay, now being sued by the family of George Floyd.
Yes, I have.
I was going to use it as the hypocrite of the week.
Because Kanye, as soon as George Floyd died, he donated over a million dollars to the college fund for the kids.
For his children.
And now the children are suing him.
But you know what this does?
That's a thanks.
Thanks for nothing.
So the way I see this, you know, Elon now has a big, you know, he's got a big swinging dongle about, you know, me and my other buddies are going to buy Twitter.
We know we're overpaying for it right now, but the potential is just too good to pass up.
So that's the line.
Yeah.
I think that with the Alex Jones lawsuit, with the Kanye lawsuit, yay, that when Elon Musk completes the acquisition and is ready to destroy Twitter.
The way they do it is by immediately, as I've said before, making everybody register.
So now you can say whatever you want on Twitter, but just so you know, if you just say something wrong, you can get sued for $250 million.
It's so obvious that's how he's going to ruin Twitter.
And then he'll bake in some money payment thing and, oh, jeez.
It's desperate times, man!
Desperate times!
I'm gonna show my salute by donating to No Agenda!
Imagine all the people who could do that!
Oh yeah, that'd be fab!

I want to thank these people for coming in with something to help the show.
Nah, $14.96.
A lot of people saying, well, you know, I'd donate, but I'm going to wait for the show $1500 or the anniversary, so.
I expect this thinness to continue.
I'm looking at the notes that came in.
One is from Jonathan Loeb.
And it looks like he donated $555.66.
But I don't see him on the list.
And his note is, ITM, I discovered the show at the beginning of the plannedemic when I heard Adam on Rogan.
I've been hooked since.
Keep it up, boys.
I don't know why that's... It's one of the sent-in scans.
Any thoughts?
Oh yeah, or scans us, right?
That's a good one.
And then the second one is from Gene Harris, sir, Anonimo of the Sarcasmo Island.
And he says he sent a donation to show 1490, which I remember one.
He did $1,800 and 81 cents.
And he tried sending a note to several different email addresses and.
They were all returned undeliverable.
That's interesting.
So he wound up eventually just sending a note.
And so now he has donated so much, he would like a new title.
Changing it from Sir Anonymous of the Sarcasmo to Baron de Backwardation and Contango.
Baron of the Backwardation and Contango.
Okay.
So I just, I'll just add him.
I'm sure it's, uh, I'm sure everything's right and it's appropriate.
Yeah.
No, I, well, we remember the 1800s that came in.
Yeah.
Uh, I don't know about this Jonathan Loeb thing being missing.
I'm going to find out.
I'll put it on the exceptions list and read about it and send a note back to the, uh, back office.
Uh, so Jay Rectorick, he wanted to make good from 1492.
All he said is just, please de-douche me.
No, that's not the problem.
You've been de-douched.

One loner.
Okay, let me see.
Okay, I got it here.
We will listen to it.
Pop culture's not my bag.
Pop culture's not my bag?
Yes, Dan Bongino seems to drop that one line in constantly throughout any of his podcasts or shows.
When somebody does anything that's even remotely, you know, new, like Kanye.
Pop culture's not my bag.
He doesn't spit in the mic about yay?
Pop culture's not my bag.
Pop culture's not my bag.
Hmm, okay.
I have this.
We really appreciate your courage Nice and clear.
Okay, well that already topped it.
Well, how about this?
Absolutely crazy!
Nah, too echoey.
Okay, thank you for your courage.
Absolute courage one, we'll do that.
Yeah.
Oh, you sound overwhelmed.
I mean, it's not the greatest, but it's better than mine and that other one.
Here's a screwball clip that I wanted to share.
And this comes from, I think it was, it wasn't even TikTok, wait a minute, it was TikTok.
This is supposedly one of Joe Biden's granddaughters.
Her name is Naomi Biden.
And I looked at Naomi Biden on the Google images and she looks like it's Naomi Biden.
But listen to what she has to say.
I'm going to do it anyway.
My grandfather, Joe Biden, does have a twin.
And that twin is currently pretending to be Joe Biden in the White House.
So unfortunately, my grandfather, Joe Biden, passed away about four years ago.
But, you know, he had built up this really long political career, and my family still wanted to have a bit of power in the U.S.
government so we just replaced joe with his twin brother beau what do you say Bye.
Well, I like the idea of his name being Bo, because that's why you would name one of your kids Bo.
So that checks out.
It's very easy to document.
Somebody just has to do a little research and they'd find if he was a twin, he's a twin.
But I think he would have showed up a little by now.
Come in so deep into the whole Biden crime family saga.
I loved it.
That's good.
It's funny.
This is good.
Hey, we can't leave without talking about Haiti for a second.
I know you have a clip.
Maybe mine will suffice.
Canadian and American military supplies have arrived in Haiti to help that country's government fight back against armed gangs.
Now, these are images of the planes carrying those shipments on the weekend.
The delivery includes armored vehicles and tactical equipment To bolster Haiti's national police.
The humanitarian situation in Haiti is at a crisis point.
And let's bring in Macta Gabroselassie from Washington, because as part of the response to that, Macta, the United States has now drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution, support for the deployment of a rapid action force to Haiti.
Tell us more about what that involves.
Well, Heather, this Rapid Action Force was first reported by several media outlets, initially from the Miami Herald, talking about the U.S.
presenting this resolution.
What lacks in information and details right now is what countries would be involved in this force, what the roles would be.
But at this point, the fact that the U.S.
is presenting this as an option Really is in line with what the Secretary General for the UN has been asking for.
Rapid Force?
I don't know, sounds like... Well, the clip I have, which I'd rather play on the next show, debunks that whole thing.
This is a scam.
Well, let's do it now.
I don't want to play that on the next show.
It'll take three days.
This is Maté.
This is back to the Halpern, Taibbi thing.
And he explains the history of our relationship with Haiti.
Which is really great.
We've been dynamite with those guys.
Well, it's interesting.
I found this to be one of the more interesting clips that I picked off that podcast.
And you can go around the world.
So, you know, right now in Haiti, there are massive protests going on against Jovenel Moise, a U.S.-backed president, who, again, he was a key ally of Trump.
He even went to the White House and talked about how him and Trump were both entrepreneurs.
They had this affinity.
But really, he was put in power by the Obama White House and his predecessor, Marte E was put in power by Clinton, by Hillary Clinton, when she was secretary of state.
And so now there are these massive protests going on against Sylvain El-Moyes.
His term was supposed to expire on February 7th, but he says that he really should be in office for another year.
Haitian courts don't agree with him.
The Haitian people certainly in massive numbers don't agree with him.
And they're showing out to protest.
The U.S. is once again standing on his side and saying that actually he should be in power for another year.
And that's really what the U.S. says really matters in Haiti.
If the U.S. were to turn on Moise and say, all right, it's time to go, he'd be gone in a second because he just can't exist without U.S. support.
So that's a case where, again, Biden so far is...
is continuing the Trump policy and really the long-standing U.S.
policy of backing right-wing autocrats in Haiti against, you know, popular movements.
And that really goes back to, like, Haiti's founding in 1804, when Haiti became the first free country in the hemisphere.
The U.S.
feared the example that freed slaves would pose for the U.S., and so they helped back France in trying to put down the rebellion.
They helped France pillaged Haiti even after Haiti became free.
The U.S.
occupied Haiti in the beginning of the 20th century, helped back the Duvalier dictatorship until Haiti's first free elections.
And then Haiti's first free elections in 1991 elected the popular President Aristide.
He was immediately overthrown in a U.S.-backed coup and then overthrown again 13 years later in 2004 in another U.S.-backed coup.
So this is just a long-running thing.
And Biden is a part of that establishment that has been pillaging Haiti forever, and it's just, it's interesting to see him come into office and just immediately offer reflexive support to the right-wing autocrat who, while, you know, tens of thousands are protesting in the streets.
Oh, man, he should have kept going!
2004, why stop there?
Look at what the Clintons did!
And then we got, oh, what was that, uh, the musician who, uh... Yeah, that guy.
Oh, is that guy came in, and then... Send us your, your money.
Bush.
Yeah, and they stole all that money, if you remember that.
Yeah, no, that's what you do.
Oh, man, those guys.
Those guys, they're genius.
They're at it again.
You know what?
We're screwing up Europe.
Let's grab Haiti while we're at it, boys.
Let's see if we can squeeze some more blood from them, from those turnips.
Tell Hills we got more kids that need to go home to America.
That's it for today.
Okay.
But that doesn't mean that we're not excited about seeing y'all again on Sunday here on No Agenda.
End of show mixes.
We got some fun ones here.
We got Matty J. We got Sir Hey Citizen.
And we got Sound Guy Steve, all lined up with some good stuff for you.
Coming up next in the Troll Room, trollroom.io, noagendastream.com, brand new to the No Agenda Stream podcast network, Complex Candor, with Sam and Vox.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, here in FEMA Region No.
6.
In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday, right here, with another No Agenda for you.
Until then, adios mofos and such.
And a big hooey hooey.
I really believe this is why God gave us two arms.
One for the flu shot and the other one for the COVID shot.
The risk of dying from COVID is much higher than getting a blood clot from a vaccine.
20 million doses had been administered by the end of March, with 79 cases of thrombosis later reported, 19 of which were fatal.
As vaccinations increase, thousands of women reporting a potential side effect when it comes to their menstrual cycles.
Really strong cramps and a little bit of breakthrough bleeding after both vaccines.
It's time to go get an updated COVID-19 shot.
We're talking about myocarditis.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle.
The shot has been linked to a low risk of a rare but serious side effect called Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Four people given the new COVID vaccine in clinical trials developed Bell's palsy.
One of the side effects doctors are seeing from the vaccine is swollen lymph nodes.
Queenslanders are being warned that they might need a fifth COVID jab before the end of the year.
A new study on the COVID-19 vaccines found more cases of heart inflammation than expected among members of our U.S.
military.
Some doctors speculate that the spike protein used in the vaccines can cause string-like structures which the body doesn't break down.
Most cases of myocarditis are asymptomatic.
People don't know that they're having it.
How can you be sure that that was the vaccine and not something that would have happened anyway?
Look, I don't care what misinformation or conspiracy theories that you have heard.
These vaccines are working.
So please just get the damn vaccine.
Get the damn vaccine.
Let's get the hell over this.
It's preventable.
Just get the damn shot.
The message has been out there, unfortunately, because of fake news and misinformation.
There's no conspiracy here, folks!
The message is clear, and that is to get the vaccine.
Get the damn shot.
The strongest cognitive dissonance ever.
You're not going to get COVID if you haven't been vaccinated.
Take the vaccines!
I did it, it's good.
It really was an amazing feeling.
Get the damn shot!
Right now, right away.
It is time to stop coddling them.
The ones who won't get the damn shot already.
Get your damn vaccine!
Alright, thank you.
Face it, problem is pretty simple.
We need more damn vaccines.
Get the damn shot.
Forget the conspiracy.
It hits you.
Get the damn shot.
These guys are telling the truth.
Just get the damn shot.
Vaccines.
Vaccines.
Get the damn shot, vaccine.
Vaccines.
Better than H. Get the damn shot.
Protected.
Fully protected.
Listen to our government agencies.
Get the goddamn shot.
There's no conspiracy here, folks.
NJ, NK, need no soundbites at this time. NJ, NK, for the NK, for the value you provide. NJ, NK, need no soundbites
need no soundbites at this time.
Just to say we're satisfied.
And NJ, that means no jingles.
And NK, that just means no karma.
The best podcast in the universe!
