But they're not here!
The banger's not here!
Adam Curry.
John C. Dvorak.
It's Thursday, November 10, 2022.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1502.
This is no agenda.
Awaiting our COP 27 reparations and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas oil country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Wow, no quips, no nothing.
You know, I had a quip and as I was delivering it I said, where does that quip go?
How do I do that quip again?
Well, you're welcome America.
Mainstream media save democracy.
We're good to go.
The red wave is right there with global sea level rise.
It's about the same.
Wow, man.
That was really interesting.
Of course, I do have to claim a little bit of glory here for my call on Federman.
I'm giving you 100% credit for this.
You own today's show.
I am so happy.
Who would have thought?
Who would have thunk?
That Pennsylvania, by the way, there's some district where there's a, I guess it was a senator or maybe it was a congressman, there was a guy that was dead for a month that they voted him in.
Yes, I have that somewhere.
What's this guy?
Dead.
But let's go.
He's a Democrat.
He's dead.
Fine.
Good to go everybody.
What was his name?
They're dead anyway.
Anthony Tony DeLuca.
Yeah, DeLuca.
DeLuca.
DeLuca.
Hey, DeLuca, wake up!
Wake up, you won!
He died of lymphoma, John.
It's not that funny, okay?
Well, thank you for killing the joke.
But see, this is the point.
This is why I knew.
In America now, in woke leftist America, and again, they brought in all the big guns.
So they're voting for people.
What you're saying is they're voting for people because they feel sorry for them.
And you can't feel more sorry for someone who died of lymphoma.
Exactly!
This proves it!
Oh, that poor bastard.
He died of lymphoma.
I'm voting for him.
This proves it!
This is exactly what I'm talking about.
It's like, well, you know, I mean, like, even Kara Swisher, you know, who had a stroke.
You know, she's like, no, no, no, this is great.
And he's very understandable.
I mean, it's obviously ignorance.
By the way, I want to say, you know, until you told me that Kara Swisher had a stroke, I never knew that.
She doesn't appear to look any different to me.
Uh, no.
Or act any different for that matter.
So, I just have to, so, I'm sure you have clips.
I got a couple clips, but I really delighted.
Well, actually, I have a question because, you know, the mainstream, sometimes you can tell if they're biased or not.
It's not always easy to tell.
Sometimes it's very easy to tell, but you can't really tell if a news model is biased because they just kind of, you know, look pretty and read the script.
Yeah, you can.
They look pretty and read the script.
What are you saying?
Well, okay then.
You tell me, is this anchor, is she Republican or Democrat?
I think the important thing to remember is that the disenfranchisement is the bug.
The feature is the red mirage.
And we know.
Because all Trump's campaign officials testified under oath before the January 6th committee that the reason they've demonized every other vote other than the same day, which they've never relied upon but they do now, is to create a Trumpian mirage, a red mirage.
So that the litigation, and perhaps even the unrest, takes place while people are deluded into thinking the stuff that gets to your point, the baskets that get counted first, tell a lie.
And it really, if you sit and think about it, it signals incredible, extraordinary political weakness, which may not even be the case tonight.
That's what's so weird.
Alright, so you're not sure yet what Nicole Wallace is?
She worked for the Republicans.
Yeah, she's worked for the Republicans, but she's a never-Trumper former Republican who is a Democrat.
Right, but Trump is not running in this election.
Anyway, let's listen to this.
No, Trump was running.
He lost.
Arizona is Trump's white whale.
I mean, Arizona, Arizona, Arizona is Trump's mantra.
Here's where she gets all jitty.
Get ready for it.
Arizona is Trump's white whale.
I mean, Arizona, Arizona, Arizona is Trump's mantra.
And there's no one more subservient to Trump's message about the lie than Carrie Lake.
So the fact that Arizona is already the epicenter of the big lie 2022 is not an accident.
The cyber ninjas are coming to get him this time.
But again, as January 6th committee presented all the evidence, it was like, oh yeah, they did all that in public.
As we're covering Arizona tonight, they've done it all in public.
Remember, this was the state that state that freaked him out because it was called first it was the first state that sort of shocked him by the fox news all the more which freaked him out all the more it's also i think the important point that ben just made this is an open carry state this is the state where people are watching drop boxes fully armed um and it's the state i think where the disinformation universe is the most potent because carry lake on down that entire ticket are election deniers each one more extreme
And what I'm just I just was quickly looking at just looking into the transcripts of some of the things Carrie Lake is saying tonight.
They are panicking.
You don't panic like that if you feel you're in a position of strength in terms of the actual election.
I'm telling you, man, they could not get away from being so happy.
It was I mean, I expected it, of course, but still you think, man.
They really they're so dedicated to it.
They're so involved that they they can't even bring themselves to be professional for a moment.
No, they can't.
At all.
It's impossible.
And Joy Reid, I only have one clip, but man, it's a doozy.
And her guests.
So Lauren Boebert.
Now she was already in Congress, I believe.
Yes, Bober's the one who said, and we have the clip of her saying, that's bull crap.
That's Bober.
She is kind of a Marjorie Taylor Greene of Colorado, I think.
And she's tough on the Congress.
She's not nutty in a way that Marjorie Taylor Greene is, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is.
Nutty.
Well, she's kind of nutty, but she's charming in a nutty way.
And Bobert's just a mean, mean woman.
Or mean girl.
She's like a mean girl.
Oh, okay.
What's her background?
I like her a lot, and it's a shame that she couldn't pull this off.
I think she got kicked out.
Oh, I thought her race was not over yet.
Well, it shouldn't be even close, but whatever.
But why did she get into it?
Because wasn't she someone who was just pissed off and said, I'm going to run for office, and she won?
Is that her backstory?
It's possible.
I don't know.
Bobbitt was first elected to Congress in 2020 after she defeated incumbent representative Scott Tipton.
I don't know.
Well, anyway.
Let's just presume that she loses or lost.
What can a former politician like Lauren Boebert do?
What did she do before?
That's what I don't know.
I don't know.
Was she... I think she was in the restaurant business, maybe?
Or maybe she just worked at a restaurant.
Well, Joy Reid and guests have some ideas for her.
tight race against lauren bobert meet what's the meaning if uh lauren bobert the second most popular q anon congressperson in mega what if she goes what if she loses and what job will she have because i don't even think shooters exist anymore i don't think shooters exist anymore well i guess it might be a it might be a gain for for for only fans uh i I don't know what you would do in this scenario, but I think that... Oh, brother, these guys are terrible.
She said, I don't think Shooters has girls anymore that chew, chew, chew.
And then he piles on top with...
Well, I think only fans would benefit.
Did you just call her a whore?
Is that basically the idea?
He called her out as a whore.
That's what he did, whoever that was.
And this is the Democrats and their civility.
That's a good example right there.
It's just, it's amazing.
Now let's just go back before the red wave, the red mirage.
Which they should have deemed not the red mirage, but the orange mirage, if they were smart.
But no, they're too smug at the moment.
They can't think straight.
We would advise them how to do that better, too.
Before the midterms, please remember what was on deck, what was at stake, what was on the ballot.
Turn control of this government over to the Republicans.
You are turning over the democracy.
If the election deniers on the right win in 2022, in November, next month, to me, democracy looks like it's over in America.
Fascism is here to stay.
And if they lose, we get maybe another insurrection, domestic terrorism, a civil war, God forbid.
This is a path to chaos in America.
He's not wrong.
It is a path to chaos.
And whether we take that path to chaos, whether we continue to march down it, is one of the major choices, if not the major choice, voters face this coming Tuesday.
One of the issues that's obviously going to be at stake on this election is democracy and the end of the January 6th investigation if the Republicans take over the House.
It dies with the end of this Congress.
Given how important this case is to the issue of democracy, Hallie.
Which is at stake in this election, as you well know, especially with so many election-denying Republicans running for some of these Secretary of State races, for example, gubernatorial, attorney general.
A tank of gas or a gallon of milk or your rent on your house or the price of your used car is really, really, really important.
It's just not as important as losing your democracy.
We are on the precipice.
If we don't get this right this time, we don't get this right this time, it's over.
You put McCarthy back in, you put Trump back in, our democracy is over.
I'm not overstating it.
That's where we're at.
Alright, I got plenty of clips, you have some too, and let's just pause for a moment.
I don't have that many, but let me say one thing before we leave the bobert.
Yes.
She's on my list of people trying to either contact or try to do something with.
Totally aloof and impossible to get a hold of.
Have you tried her OnlyFans account?
Not yet.
Actually, on Twitter, you couldn't talk to her there either, even though she had an open message set up.
No LinkedIn?
I've noticed this with a lot of these guys.
They're just impossible, aloof, not really connected.
It's just you can see it coming down Broadway that they're not going to hang in there long enough because most politicians are politicians.
Well, in general, I think it's kind of funny that guest said that, but OnlyFans and politicians, they do have, you know, some similarities.
You know, they're both, you know, pay to spray, basically.
You know, it's like you want to talk to him, you got to show up with a check.
Hello?
Possibly, yeah.
I just was taken aback by that phrase.
You haven't heard that one?
No.
I don't want to hear it again.
Never again.
Never again.
Sorry.
One of the things that's interesting to me about this whole thing is the lack of mention of, because this is really an issue it seems to me, with the head of the RNC.
Because that's the guidance.
Isn't Trump the head of the RNC?
No, he's never been the head of the RNC.
Who's head of the RNC?
It was Rance Pribis, if you remember, during Trump's era.
Yeah.
And you don't take over the RNC as an administrative job.
It's not, usually very few politicians are in charge of it.
Alright, alright.
Don't get mad.
Don't get mad.
Just ask who's the head of it.
That's, there you go.
That's, what you're doing is proving my point.
Yeah.
Do you know who the head is?
Ronna McDaniel, otherwise known as Ronna Romney.
Has been the head of the RNC since Previs gave it up to be a work in the Trump administration.
Wait, wait, so this is Romney's wife?
No, no, it's, she's married to one of, I think, Romney's older brother.
Doesn't matter.
It's a Romney connection.
Well, of course, there's a Romney connection.
Yes, absolutely.
Someone will find the Romney connection.
When she took over from Priebus, Trump is the one who, because you never used to go by this name, it was Romney.
Supposedly Trump, even though she denies this, tried to convince her to stop using the Romney name because of the beef that Trump and Romney had.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
And she eventually did, whether it was because of his chiding or not is beside the point.
The point is that she's never mentioned in the conversation.
I would love to hear what Kellyanne Conway had to say about any of this before or after, but she's been blackballed, obviously, from the TV shows.
As you recall, if you go back a year or two... She was on Fox.
I saw her election night on Fox.
Oh, was she?
Kellyanne was on Fox?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I was watching CNN.
Yeah.
What did she have to say?
Oh, nothing.
Do you have any clips of her?
No, she was just as much a dud as Jen Psaki on MSNBC.
She almost didn't say anything.
She's just sitting there.
I hope they didn't pay her too much.
Okay, well, be that as it may, Ronna is not mentioned in the conversation, and it seems that you should be.
Yeah.
If you're the head of the RNC, because you're calling a lot of shots, if you read her bio, she seems to be a good person.
But whether she has the vision, because the Republicans screwed up left and right.
In fact, if you started reading between the lines, you could see where they actually They pulled some electioneering things during the process of redistricting.
They would push a blue district or a red district up against a blue district.
And the blue district would still win, taking their red district out of contention if they joined them.
They should just have red district next to red district.
I mean, there was that element.
And then there was the element of running these, what they say, weak candidates.
And the counter argument to that, by the way, is the weak candidate argument, which is worthy Democrats were financing the quote-unquote election deniers and Trumpers at the most extreme they could find, which is an old Democrat trick.
You try to do this with debates.
You put up a radical maniac and you debate him.
And so they did this, and they were condemned, if you remember.
If you listened to this enough before the election, they were saying, oh, these Democrats are taking a huge risk because they're putting these radicals up against their guy.
And if the radicals win, Congress is going to be rife with radicals.
But they didn't win.
They all lost.
And so then when that starts to become discussed again, which isn't by the mainstream, but when it was, it goes like this.
Well, that idea that you put a bad candidate up and they lose... Fetterman!
Fetterman!
Fetterman!
And they point at Fetterman and say, there's a bad candidate and he won!
So that argument is no good.
That argument is very good.
That Pennsylvania election is weird.
And so it doesn't really count.
They elect the dead guy and everything like that.
So the Republicans were caught so flat-footed, and they were so arrogant and stupid.
I mean, Carrie Lake would come on Tucker time and time again, and she was just so glib about winning this whole thing, and everybody assumed it was going to be this and that.
No, it was a joke.
Good to be here, bros.
That was quite the soliloquy.
What are you saying?
I'm just wrapping it up.
Well, no, I have a few things to say if you're interested.
No.
No.
Go on, please.
Go get a drink.
Okay, so what I'm noticing now is post this election, Which, and I'll just say a few things about it.
First of all, I think what happened in Florida, that to me showed really the direction America wants to go.
Now if all the people from the other states moved to Florida, and that's why there was such an overwhelming majority, including Miami-Dade, which I guess apparently is always blue and Democrat.
So you'd have to presume that there were Democrats who voted for DeSantis, etc.
et cetera, that was, that's quite phenomenal.
So either things were, I mean, there were lots of problems We can talk about that in Maricopa County and, you know, we're in a runoff in Georgia.
It's kind of, it looks like the same playbook.
It's undeniable.
So was there shenanigans?
I don't know.
No one seems to really be claiming it, but that's what I thought.
If you have a red wave, that's what it would look like.
And it didn't look like that.
So my, Going to think that it's probably, you know, everyone rigged, so that might have evened out.
I just don't hear the protests, so I think so.
I think that the Texas Republicans are mainly to blame in the Senate here.
Because they let the Texas Democrats sneak in, or I'm sorry, the Texas Democrats let the Republicans sneak in the no abortion ever, no timeline whatever thing.
And they didn't protest it, and the Republicans here were all glib and, you know, stupid because it's not mainstream Texas anymore.
You know, a limit is what I think most people would want.
Not everybody.
But, you know, I think if you really wanted to get it done, that's how you could have got it done.
And they didn't stop it.
And I think that hurt them.
I think there were enough people, women, who, you know, think, and the messaging was so strong.
How could you avoid it?
And that's an important thing, so I think that's where they screwed it up.
It was all legit.
Now, what happens now, because all of Trump's candidates did poorly, i.e.
lost.
That was about a 50, it was about a split, but it wasn't good.
It wasn't great at all.
No, it wasn't good, it wasn't great.
No, of course not.
It was my belief, and I think it's still going to happen, if the Republicans will take over the House, I think that happens, maybe the Senate.
I have a feeling actually it might happen, but it doesn't really matter.
Either way, as long as it's the House, Trump will announce on November 15th, he's running for president, and he is going to use every opportunity he can to act as the de facto president.
So he'll be saying things like, yeah, you know, I called my boy Marco, and I called in the Senate, and I called these people over in the House, and we get this done, we're going to start impeachment.
He's going to be talking as if he's the president, I guarantee it.
And it's not going to work.
People are fed up.
I mean, when Candace Owens does a whole episode about how you're a dick...
You're under attack.
He's under attack, and I don't think he realizes it yet.
And then, you know, the mainstream, which obviously is going to be mainly Democrat-oriented, they're picking up on it.
They see the chum in the water, and I think this is smart.
This is the way they want to go.
Let's talk about former President Donald Trump.
He was in Ohio last night campaigning for a Senate candidate there, but talking mostly about himself.
What about his future plans?
And it was also true that, but she probably... I know it is, it's true, but this is...
The mainstream media, which we know is slanted, they have to look at what they did before, which was they did it in the form of ridicule as opposed to subtle British-style understatement, which is what you just said there, which I think works better because it's actually funny.
It made me laugh.
It always makes me laugh, but I thought it was good.
You know, it's CBS.
We knew I was running the show there, so I'm glad the CIA still has some...
Some good writers.
Good writers.
Let's talk about former President Donald Trump.
He was in Ohio last night campaigning for a Senate candidate there, but talking mostly about himself.
What about his future plans?
Party leader to CBS News has learned, pulled Trump back from making a 2024 announcement in Ohio last night, but he is still moving toward a 2024 presidential bid.
And he's warning some of his rivals to stay out of the race.
He just told reporters about it a couple hours ago.
That if Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, gets in, he better be worried because, quote, I know more about him than anybody other than perhaps his wife, who is really running his campaign.
A political shot fired by the former president.
A shot fired, and it sounds like a guy with research in the basement.
This is, I think, is a critical mistake.
Now, let me tell you what he's talking about.
I don't want to interrupt, but in Florida, Trump has already coined a word for DeSantis and he calls him Ron DeSanctimonious.
And what does sanctimonious mean for our international producers?
Sanctimonious means that you're like, you're above it all and you like to brag.
What you say about yourself with your head through hell.
There's definitely an element of that in there, but people should look the word up.
It's a great word.
It's a fabulous word to use in writing.
Yes, and this is a tip from your No Agenda show, and you could probably pick up some chicks by using this word from time to time.
How can you fall for that sanctimonious asshole?
That's a pickup line.
Beautiful, beautiful.
That's a pickup line.
Straight into the player's handbook it goes.
So DeSantis had, I thought, a great acceptance speech.
And he also telegraphed, I don't know if it was to Trump or if it was subliminal or NLP.
Let me see, I have the clip here, one second.
Oh, shoot.
I thought this was the video.
I was going to play it from the website.
Oh, here it is.
Yes, I do have it.
Listen to what he says here.
Florida was a refuge of sanity when the world went mad.
We stood as a citadel of freedom for people across this country and indeed across the world.
We faced attacks!
So he goes on to say Florida is where Woke goes to die, which was great.
But he said Florida is a citadel.
The guy who is funding him, his guy, everyone has a guy, is Ken Griffin, who runs Citadel Security, Citadel LLC, this is a huge hedge fund.
Uh, so this guy himself has, I think his, his art alone is 800 million.
Um, and he's in Daytona beach.
So he is, there's something, I don't know, don't know what yet, but this Griffin and Trump, they don't vibe.
And I think just the idea that And this would make total sense that DeSantis has financial freedom from the party and from Trump, maybe, or whatever the issue is there, I think is very threatening to Trump.
And he's making a huge mistake because everything I hear everywhere is people saying, man, if Trump doesn't denounce the Vax, you know, screw that guy.
And I don't think he can get past it.
I don't think he can get past his ego and admit it.
I don't think he's capable of it.
I know I sound like Nicole Wallace.
You sound just like her.
Have you been drinking funny herb tea or something?
What do you think?
I mean... I'm not going to disagree with a word you said.
Any input?
I think that Trump should realize his place in history and retire to it because he was an important cog in the Republican wake.
It was a wake-up call to the Republican Party when he came around.
And he also taught us fake news.
I mean, he taught the world fake news.
He taught the world that media is your enemy.
He established a lot of important thought patterns, engrams, as it were.
sanctimonious engrams and so you've got so he's done all that now he's starting to damage it because he has the martyr status he still can draw a crowd but he's he's he's start I think he's starting to go into self-destruct and this is not gonna and he had to do it against somebody like Santas which is DeSantis DeSantis DeSantimonious DeSanto DeSanto is our guy DeSanto
It's a mistake, because this guy's beloved.
He has an intelligence background, which means he may be connected, as it were, which is not a bad thing, necessarily, to get the Democrats straightened out themselves.
So I don't know, it's just probably, it's everything, you can't do it.
DeSantis is like, and then to threat blackmail, which is what it sounds like to me, threaten, I'm sorry, threaten blackmail, is not good.
That's a really bad look.
But his, man, I didn't get any clips, but Candace Owens rips into him.
Rips into him.
There's a reason for that.
I don't like her, by the way, but there's a reason for that.
Well, you're going to have to deal with her because she, I think I said this to you, she's going to become the conservative Oprah.
She is, I mean, she's all in.
She's all in with the money.
There's a lot going on around her.
She was a, you know, the funny thing about her, and I wish I could go back and get these clips, but the old original Rubin report, when the guy was still meaning, you know, before he slipped off into Glenn Beck world and now you never heard of him again.
Yeah, the Rubin.
Now he's on Locals.
Well, when the original old, the original Rubin report.
Isn't he on The Blaze?
Yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah, okay.
And that's why you never hear from him again.
I mean, that's the places where these, some of these potential high rollers go to disappear.
It's the UHF of the internet.
So the original Rubin report, which was when he had the big studio set, it was beautiful.
And now he's got a little cramped set.
It's so good.
But he, he moved away from LA and he, uh, he turned his back on his community.
So when he was doing the original show, he had Candace Owens on in a very old show.
This was years ago.
And she explained how she turned from a kind of a very strong-willed Democrat to a Republican.
It had to do with betrayal.
They had screwed her over in some funny way that really irked her.
And then she started looking into conservative stuff.
And then she became like, she's like a, she's like a, A reformed cigarette smoker or an ex-alcoholic.
Well, you know, her husband, not only is he the CEO of Parler, which they, you know, they just really parliament the back end of Parler, which is sold to, or apparently is being sold to, yay, his whole family is House of Lords permanent peership in the UK.
Oh, okay.
Well, there you go.
Uh-huh.
And she's, and I didn't know this, but you know, both Daily Wire and what's the Prager, Prager, PragerU?
Yeah, Prager University.
They really are financed by Dan and Ferris Wilkes.
I think Ferris Wilkes may be the main point on these deals.
And this is an old school Texas family.
I think they're like Jews for Jesus type.
I haven't heard that one for a while.
The Jews for Jesus, baby.
Is it the Church of God, Seventh Day Adventist?
No, no, no.
It's Adventist, by the way.
It's Adventists, by the way.
I like Adventists.
Adventists is better.
Adventists.
I own it.
I own it.
It's really interesting what kind of power is behind these types of people and these types of organizations.
It's not all organic like your No Agenda show, I guess is what I'm saying.
And there's nothing organic about any of it, except our show, indeed, is pretty organic.
Almost everything is inside out.
And I might point out, for what we do, for Value for Value, You know, the true winner of all political contests in the United States.
Well, if you think there have been more political ads for this election than ever before, you are right.
Ad spending was expected to approach $10 billion.
That is $700 million more than during the 2020 election.
Are you enjoying your vow of poverty, John?
And we will mention that this is one of our thematic positions, which is that the media is the one that benefits.
The most!
So they try to stir it up.
The most!
Always.
Always, always, always.
So they get even more money.
And they create fake polls so they can get even more money.
I just have a couple of quick clips about the issues in Arizona.
Very irritating to me.
You know, I'm OK with whatever, you know, some stuff happens.
It's crazy that it happens there.
We're not quite sure what happened.
There's conflicting reports, as I'll show.
But I just don't understand why any news media would accept the term These problems were reported in Arizona's Maricopa County.
They gotta fix this problem.
This is incompetency.
Where election officials say 20% of voting locations experience technical glitches.
There's a lot of confusion.
A lot of people are leaving without voting.
Arizona election officials say it was a printer problem that has been resolved, but there have been a few scattered issues around the country, including here in Georgia, where two poll workers were removed today in Fulton County after social media posts showed them attending the January 6th riot.
Okay, so let's not get into any details on the glitch.
You know, oh, the printer wasn't working.
Oh, it's a glitch.
No, that's the result of said glitch.
It would be nice to know what happened.
These are important things.
And then, oh yeah, but they removed two poll workers because they were at the end.
Notice she said riot and not insurrection.
I thought that was interesting.
Don't know why they've changed that.
CNN, more of the same.
Now, according to county officials, the problem had to do with passwords being entered too many times, so it appears this is a technical glitch of sorts.
No, no, it's some asshole who had the wrong password, or maybe a hacker, or there could have been all kinds of stuff.
No, the password was entered wrong too many times, so that's a technical glitch of sorts.
What is this?
This is the outrage.
It's not about what happens, it's how this is reported.
Shame on CNN!
You're not reporters!
Do you know what was really good news?
Do you remember naked news?
I love naked news.
That was such a great idea.
You played it straight.
It was, you know, because basically you watch the news, you're watching news models, they all look pretty or handsome, and they read the news to you.
And what this guy, I don't know, I mean went away, but it was, it must have been in like early 2000s.
She was on for a few years.
It was early 2000s.
No, I think it was all during the 90s.
John, they had a whole stable.
They had You're right, it was the 90s.
After the dot-com collapse, I think that's what killed Naked News.
But they had a whole studio, they had a whole host of beautiful models who would just read the news... Whose night with nice tops.
They would just read the news naked.
They weren't like slouches.
Thank you for removing that final barrier.
It's like, yes, this makes sense.
Yeah, let's do it right.
If you want to indoctrinate at least half of America, Naked News is your format, people.
CNN?
No.
No, instead, CNN does this crap.
Now, according to county officials, the problem had to do with passwords being entered too many times, so it appears this is a technical glitch of sorts.
Election officials say teams are taking those problem ballots to the county's election center, where they will be counted after the polls close at 7 o'clock tonight, local time, so they want to assure voters here no one is being disenfranchised.
All those votes, all those ballots, We'll be counted, Wolf.
Okay, so we have one story is the printer wasn't working.
The other one was entered the password multiple times.
Not incorrectly, but entered it multiple times.
That's a glitch of sorts.
But don't worry, everything's okay.
Do we have another theory out there?
And Juan, just to be clear, was the issue with the tabulating machines sorted out?
Were they able to resolve the issue and they're just concerned that people who may have left when the problems were still happening need extra time to come back?
That is the primary concern.
We don't have a widespread report of people leaving en masse, to be very clear.
This is a small subject.
Across the county, about 223 voting centers.
Folks can go to any one.
It's not like you have to go to your neighborhood voting center.
So at these locations, they were urging folks to go drive two miles down the road to visit one that did not have a line.
But the polling locations were set to close here in about 90 minutes.
In the county, to your question, they have fixed the problem.
This is very minutiae, but ultimately it was a printer problem.
They were some of these machines were not minutiae.
It's minutiae.
He's gonna explain it.
But it's very minute.
It's not just minutiae.
What is that?
Very minutiae.
What kind of language is that?
That is FBI language.
CIA is much slicker.
FBI is like, just make up a word.
What is the etymology of minutiae?
This can't be English.
Well, it probably stands from one of the minna, minna, munna, something that means a small piece.
I think it's from Latin or Greek.
Latin, I believe.
And it's minutia, means a pittance.
Yes, a pittance.
Trifle.
A trifle.
A trifle, that'd be better.
It's a very trifle.
But it'd be very trifle, it'd just be the same usage, yeah.
Bad.
Very, very, very trifle.
Okay, let's hear about how trifle... What was it then?
Was it printers?
Now we heard they couldn't print.
Was it the passwords?
To your question, they have... They just do a tabulation and they write the number down.
I mean, what's... Okay, never mind.
No, no.
Why ask me?
No.
You hit your choices, which, again, I heard from several friends, I hit this, and then when I went to check my printout, it had selected other parties.
That seems to happen a lot, where people just click, click, click, click, click, and then they get the printout, and like, oh, this is not right.
So they print it out, then you take your printer to its air gap, so you walk across.
Have you voted?
Have you ever voted in your life?
Why am I telling you how it works?
You didn't vote, did you?
I did vote.
I always vote.
How did you?
Did you not have a machine?
With a printer?
I mailed it in, like every other smart American.
Like all Democrats.
All right, let's go.
In the county, to your question, they have fixed the problem.
This is very minutiae, but ultimately it was a printer problem.
Some of these machines were not printing dark enough ink, and so therefore the tabulating machines were not able to read them.
They have since fixed the printers, and that is why you have seen around the county these lines go down and this return to normal, but that is Thank you, Rachel.
I kept Republicans from trying to keep them open at least a little bit longer here.
Von Hilliard for us in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
Again, a Republican lawsuit there to keep the polls open longer.
Thank you, Rachel.
One more.
And John Dickerson, let me ask you, what are you going to be watching for tonight?
Well, the term that Nancy used, recalibration.
I'm looking for calibration in two places.
One, elections in America.
Will they go back to being the way they used to be?
They were well run last time, but the former president raised doubts.
Are the losers tonight going to lose gracefully?
That's the first recalibration to look for.
And the second one is when the White House recalibrates, if it does not go their way tonight.
Remember Bill Clinton said the era of big government is over.
George Bush recalibrated after his thumping.
What will the Democrats do?
We've heard about what McCarthy's up to, but what will Joe Biden do, really, to recalibrate, or will he hunker down?
Oh, well let me tell you what Joe Biden did.
Joe Biden is, of course, doubling down on the most important thing, and I think he's giving away the playbook in this one.
We just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by, if he does run, making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our constitution, does not become the next president again.
Under legitimate efforts of our constitution.
What do you think that means?
I know that there's... he said too much.
But I'm not sure exactly what.
We don't know what he said.
But, you know, he's saying... I don't know what he's saying.
I have two clips I want to get out of here.
Oh, please.
One is back to Arizona.
This is a vote counting.
Just a short way it was presented by NPR.
Straightforward.
Hold on a second.
What am I looking for?
Arizona NPR.
Yeah, got it.
Vote counting is still underway in a number of states.
Arizona, one of those still processing early ballots.
NPR's Amina Bustillo has more from Phoenix.
Election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona are expecting it to take days before results are close to final.
County recorder Stephen Richer says hundreds of thousands of ballots are yet to be counted and reported.
That's due in part to the record-breaking number of ballots dropped off at polling sites on election day itself.
270,000 voters dropped off an early ballot on Tuesday, 100,000 more than in 2020.
Those ballots still have to go through a series of reviews, including signature verification.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
That's the wrap.
All right.
Take a week.
Take months.
And then we have, I have, I do have.
You do.
The election wrap.
We just have, or do you do have?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's tough.
I know.
It's good for the goose.
It's good for the gander.
That's right. - I do believe that's true.
So I have the election rap from NPR, which you can play later, because it's kind of their rap.
Let's do it.
Is it a fun voice?
But before that, I want to play this, which was I stole, I took this clip.
I didn't get it straight up.
I did steal it from, I do stole it from.
You do stole it.
From Tucker, because I figure they take a lot of our ideas, so I'm gonna, you know, once in a while they get a really good clip, and this was a clip of CNN John King, you know, he's the guy that's at the map all the time, pointing this and that.
He said, well this is that county and this is that county.
The CIA guy.
It was blue and green, it was blue and green.
He's the CIA guy.
He literally has Langley in his IFB.
Okay, let's move away from that.
It's possible.
So here, I got some great CIA stuff later on.
Nice.
I'm all jacked.
You should be.
And so here's what, so they pointed this out as being like the kind of the preliminary trust us, we're the only ones to trust.
It's a great clip CNN on trust the election speech.
You see that's our first votes and that's the wonder of democracy whether you're a Democrat or Republican and I wanted to point that out to be a little bit of the crank in the room following Brianna there.
Stay off social media people if you're trying to figure out, if you're trying to figure out are there really issues with votings.
Trust your local officials, trust us here, trust a news source that you know and trust to be honest about this.
They're doing their jobs and they're doing it right.
Aye aye, Captain.
Heard, Chef.
We trust you all the way, CIA man.
Well done, well done.
I think you got him.
Yeah, pretty much.
So you want to play the election rap?
Uh, yeah.
This is the NPR election rap.
Both parties made big promises during this midterm campaign.
Give Democrats control of Congress, President Biden said, and they'll create a national right to an abortion.
Here's the promise I make to you and the American people.
The first bill that I will send to the Congress will be to codify Roe v. Wade.
And when Congress passes it, I'll sign it in January, 50 years after Roe was first decided the law of the land.
And House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy promised that if Republicans got control, they would repeal the tax enforcement provision of Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act.
On that very first day that we're sworn in, you'll see that it all changes.
Because on our very first bill, we're going to repeal 87,000 IRS agents.
But a day after the final ballots were cast, neither of those visions for the next two years looked very close to reality.
As of this taping Wednesday afternoon, neither the Senate nor the House has been clenched.
Control of Congress hanging in the balance.
As of this taping Wednesday afternoon, neither the Senate nor the House has been clenched.
The red wave that many predicted never quite materialized.
Hold on.
Clenched.
Clenched.
It's clenched.
She said clenched, butt clenched.
The word that you want there is clenched.
Clenched is like clenches for your butt.
It's like your buttocks, you know.
You clench your, you clench your, gird your loins would be, she might as well say that.
Clenched!
Let's go back to NPR!
As of this taping Wednesday afternoon, neither the Senate nor the House has been clenched.
The red wave at many... Actually, it was clenched between the Republicans' buttocks, so... That's great.
That's a classy outfit, NPR.
You know what they're doing.
They sure can know if you're misgendering somebody.
But they're doing clinched and clenched?
Nah.
As of this taping Wednesday afternoon, neither the Senate nor the House has been clenched.
The red wave that many predicted never quite materialized.
Here's how Republican Senator Lindsey Graham put it on NBC on election night.
Definitely not a Republican wave, that's for darn sure.
I was in charge of Guam, so I want to take credit for that.
Though, Republicans did score some big wins.
For example, in statewide races in Florida, where incumbent Republican Governor Ron DeSantis was re-elected.
DeSantis!
Thanks to the overwhelming support of the people of Florida, we not only won election, we have rewritten the political map.
But as results continue to trickle in, it's clear that neither party has an overwhelming mandate.
There's a real possibility we'll be looking at a divided government, and the results certainly suggest a divided country.
President Biden talked about the outcome in his first post-election press conference.
Let me say this.
Regardless of what the final tally of these elections show, and there's still some counting going on, I'm prepared to work with my Republican colleagues.
The American people have made clear, I think, that they expect Republicans to be prepared to work with me as well.
Well, I'm all for it.
I like a split Senate and House.
Oh yeah, it's much better.
It always works out better.
Yeah, get nothing done.
It's much better.
That would be ideal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And so far as California is concerned, we did pass the, we made California a sanctuary state for abortions.
I always thought it was legal.
I mean, because in California you get abortions, no issue, but they found some rationale to use it as a campaign issue, even though it was stupid.
But play the sanctuary state abortion Cal NPR clip.
Californians have overwhelmingly voted to protect reproductive freedom.
The new constitutional amendment... Reproductive freedom!
...slides abortion access into state law.
Reproductive freedom?
Isn't... I mean, that is... Poor George Carlin would have loved it.
Wouldn't he?
It's a good one.
I mean, it's not... It went from reproductive healthcare to reproductive freedom.
No, imagine, you know, you have your pro-choice, your pro-abortion, you got all these different kinds of terms they don't like using.
And they've got to the point where pro-choice is no longer good because of the vaccine mandates that all the Democrats were in.
Oh, yo, whoa, yeah, you got the government can tell you what to do.
You got to get a shot.
And so that that was like pro-choice.
What does that relate to pro-choice?
No good.
So now you got some terminology issues.
You've got to change it.
And this is what they changed it to.
I think it was genius.
They're using a conservative word, freedom, which is very, very smart in this case, very strong.
But interestingly, when you say reproductive freedom, it almost sounds like we're going back to fornication under consent of the king.
I have... I have the... You're welcome.
You're welcome.
This is your partner.
15 years.
Stick around.
Californians have overwhelmingly voted to protect reproductive freedom.
The new constitutional amendment enshrines abortion access into state law.
Enshrines!
The goal of the new amendment is to protect abortion access even if the political tides in California were to change and the state were suddenly to see an influx of lawmakers who are not as favorable toward abortion rights.
Jody Hicks is the CEO and President of Planned Parenthood of California.
We are a reproductive freedom state.
People have access to reproductive care, including abortion and contraception, no matter where they call home.
Last year, California Governor Gavin Newsom, who was just re-elected, began touting California as a sanctuary to anyone denied abortion services in other parts of the country.
Newsom ultimately signed more than a dozen abortion-related bills this year, and included $200 million in the state budget for reproductive health care services.
Oh, man.
They're going to make it a profit center for all these hospitals, yet they're going to give them money on top of that?
That's what got me.
Of course!
They've turned California hospitals into a potential profit center for abortions.
That's a moneymaker.
So why are you giving them money?
Not only are you going to let them make more money than ever, but you're going to give them free taxpayers' money.
If you can do it, why not?
Hey boys!
Let me sweeten the deal a bit.
Let's go to, uh... What's that place called?
Candyland?
What's the restaurant?
Up there in California, where Newsom was having dinner?
Oh, the French Laundry.
Yeah, Candyland.
French Laundry.
Candyland.
Come on, boys.
Let's hit the French Laundry.
I got an idea!
I can get you 200 million!
Yeah, just support me.
Yeah, that's obviously what it was.
I have one last election clip I noticed on the list, which was taking the House 1 threats PBS.
Where are we?
I'm having trouble reading today.
Tea taking.
Oh, there it is.
You have a lot of uppercase things.
I think it distracts my eye.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is officially launching his bid for the top leadership post in the chamber.
NPR's Windsor Johnston reports Republicans are expected to flip the House after Tuesday's midterm elections, but there are still a number of races that have yet to be called.
While Republicans are likely to regain control in the House, they won't see the gains that they had previously expected.
In a letter to his caucus, McCarthy pitched himself as a speaker who will be a listener and strive to build consensus from the bottom up, rather than commanding the agenda from the top down.
He also pledged to devote the resources necessary for the House to go toe-to-toe with the White House.
As Speaker, McCarthy has vowed to secure the southern border and cut back on government spending.
Republicans on the Judiciary Committee last week warned the FBI and Department of Justice that they plan to investigate both agencies if their party retakes the House.
Yes, that's right.
If I can just say, every country gets the government she deserves.
No matter if it was fake or whatever rigged, we get what we deserve.
If you don't like it, we gotta put our house in order.
Right?
I think every country gets the government it doesn't deserve.
No.
That's just my opinion.
No.
The citizens always have the power and they never exercise it, so... No, it's because they don't care.
Except in France and Haiti.
And Haiti didn't work out so well.
No.
It never will.
Haiti was kind of a disaster.
Oh, I want to hear your musk stuff.
I was not expecting you to have any musk stuff.
Well, this is all to back you up.
One of the producers sent me a clip of it.
He had another meeting with advertisers this time.
Yes, I've heard about this, that he was... I don't even know if this guy is sincere.
I don't know if he gives a shit about advertising.
I'm gonna play... This started off since... I love... You know me.
I know you a bit.
I love the segue.
Here we go!
So we have Elon on voting.
This is a little clip of him bringing, since it's, you know, it's about, we had the election, so here he is.
So yeah, um, but it's, except that if it's, you know, well, Um, it is a, um, it, I mean, um, so it, so, um, the, um, so, um, I mean, you know, don't, don't, don't really believe in, you know, one person, one vote.
I think we do, you know?
Um, so.
Original audio, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm looking at the waveform.
It's original audio.
Yeah.
Before you move on with your clips.
I do not understand the idolatry.
The guy is single-handedly bringing the solution to climate change.
He's ill-advised Mars trip.
It's all government money.
Why do people think he's... And now he wants to mark you.
Mark you.
Familiar to anybody?
Mark of the Beast.
This is my favorite part of Revelations.
Trying to find out who is the false idol, who is the antichrist.
Is it Elon?
So before we get into these, that's actually, actually interesting.
Right.
But let's start, right?
Right.
Let's start with, right?
Yep.
Let's, let's start with the NPR discussing this ad meeting and then I'll play some clips from the ad meeting.
This is Musk ad meeting NPR report.
Here we go.
Elon Musk is trying to reassure big brands they are safe on Twitter amid his tumultuous takeover of the social media site.
NPR's Shannon Bond reports the CEO held a public meeting with advertisers, some of whom have paused spending.
Elon Musk addressed Twitter advertisers in a live broadcast on the platform, where he said his intention is to make big changes.
If nothing else, I am a technologist, and I can make technology go fast.
And that's what you'll see happen at Twitter.
Big brands have been wary since Musk took control of Twitter late last month, laid off half its staff, retweeted a conspiracy theory, and rolled out new features only to scrap them within hours.
Musk says he's heard advertisers concerns and reiterated that Twitter's rules against hate speech and other toxic content have not changed.
He said his new plan to charge users $8 a month for premium subscriptions would help stamp out bad behavior and fake accounts.
I really love this part of although I think it's completely irrelevant to what he's doing and maybe you'll.
Yeah, I think you're going to back that up.
That's why I played that clip.
I love how this shows just how fragile the advertising business model is.
What did he really do?
He just showed up.
It wouldn't have mattered if he tweeted something.
It wouldn't have mattered.
It wouldn't have mattered.
They just pull it.
It's just like, you know, the message goes out to corporate America.
It's like, all right, everybody pull it back.
And it came from one of the big ad agencies, who I'm sure would even be willing to drop clients.
It's just worth $250 million to That's fine.
Adidas, which is the way we say it in Europe, but... Wait, Adidas.
Adidas, that's in America.
Adidas.
No, we say Adidas here.
We say Adidas for some reason.
Adidas?
Yeah, I know.
Tina looked at me like... Well, isn't that special?
She laughed at me too.
See, Adidas.
Hey, I love your Adidas shoes, man.
They're great.
It's really cool.
Do you know what Adidas stands for?
Adidas?
The what?
All day I dream about sex.
You didn't know that, did you?
Oh, brother.
Anyway.
It's a very finicky business, and it shows how you can be out of business in a heartbeat.
Okay, let's take it, before we get to these clips, because we might as well discuss this, and we both know a bit about it.
I'd say.
You probably more than me, because you've actually gone out and done ad sales.
Hey everybody, I'm Adam Curry, former MTV guy.
Want to buy some ads?
In the print media, which is being decimated by the online media... Only 10%?
Well, for now, but eventually it'll be wiped out.
He's slick.
Alright, good one.
So...
With a print publication, let's go back to PC Magazine for example, I always had this phrase I like to throw out there, nobody ever went broke advertising next to a Dvorak column.
Wow!
Is that a bumper sticker?
It's a little long for a bumper sticker, but I would always say that because it was true.
And people would always go, they'd look at this column for sure.
Ah, you're brand safe of course.
And I'm brand safe, and you can put a nice little ad right next to it, and you're good to go, and you could actually target that spot.
You can't do that kind of thing with Twitter, unless you have phony tweets out there that you know that you could put advertising around.
Can I ask you a question?
This is very interesting, because I've never heard this story.
I don't think I've heard this story.
I haven't told it before.
So you would say, what was the thing about... You'll never go broke advertising next to a Dvorak column.
So instead of focusing on your actual work, you were focusing on the advertising, or was that just how you were able to sell it internally to PCMag to make sure that you had a job?
I think I dreamed it up as a catchphrase, as kind of a truism, just to back up the fact that this column is so popular.
I wasn't any ulterior motive.
I love it.
I wish I had used that in my commercial life.
No one ever went broke advertising on an Adam Curry show.
You could do that.
It's a good bit.
Is there any evidence that no one ever went broke?
I just said it.
I don't have to have evidence.
We can say there is no evidence.
Okay, yes!
There's no evidence.
But with print media, things are...
Blocked off in such a way that you can put an ad next to a Dvorak column.
Right.
With tweets and things are just out of control and it's all public, you know, developed, you know, this is the Wild West and you have to put an ad here or there.
It's very difficult to position the ad where you can be assured that A, you won't go broke and B, you won't be, you know, somebody cussing away, cussing up a storm and then you get associated with that.
This is why Twitter's business model never worked vis-a-vis, another good word you can use, vis-a-vis Google or Facebag, is with brand advertising, you have to have an entire army of people who are servicing the client.
Servicing the client all day long to make sure they're happy.
Oh, you know, do you take the call at 11 at night?
I can't, my niece just called and sent me a screenshot of my ad next to...
Addix Jones!
What's going on?
And you have to deal with that shit, and that is, and this is why we know he's not sincere, because those are exactly the people Musk came in and fired.
All of that management, and that hand-holding, and client services.
So let's listen to, you know, you heard the NPR report where they just kind of pass it off as something meaningless.
Yeah.
So let's listen.
There are tidbits, and I have four or five clips from Musk that kind of give us a little idea of some of the things he's going to do.
And then I have the scheme that is what you are the only one thus far, and I'm backing you up with these clips, have revealed.
And so let's start with some of the little... Can I just tell you something?
This morning, and of course, everyone needs to know, We never reveal to each other what we're going to talk about.
I mean, I get John's clips.
I look at the titles just to see what I may not have to do, because I might want to clip it.
But when I saw this, my heart kind of sank, because at first I thought, oh man, John's going to rip my whole theory to shreds.
I really thought that.
I really did.
I really did.
You always have that negative attitude about things.
You're a paranoid freak, you know that.
Well, that and maybe just, uh, you know, that's my, uh, I'm not so self-assure as I sound.
Now, I would say, I would say that if I could do that, I would.
I know, I know!
This is why I'm worried!
You do that too.
Hold on, one other important thing to know about the show.
Just so you know, it started off this way, and to this day, it is still, to a degree, it is still Adam and John trying to top each other with a better clip, or a better story, or something more revealing.
Yeah, that's true.
That's the entertainment part of the show.
There it is!
That's the entertainment part of the show.
Don't you think?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!
We're genius.
We are.
It's a fluke, by the way, if you want to know the genesis.
No!
Before we do donations, I'll prove to you that it's no fluke.
We are just genius.
Alright, what are we doing?
Well, let's start to do a thing with his, uh, let's do a thing with the shorty on hate speech.
This is a very short three second clip.
And I just thought this like sums up everything about the hate speech part of this argument.
Yeah.
I don't think having hate speech next to an ad is great.
He sounds like.
Okay, this is going to sound kind of weird and I don't want to trigger anybody, but he sounds like one of those guys.
We don't have that anymore because there's too many caller IDs and identification, but back when we were kids, you know, especially a good looking woman could sometimes on her landline receive a phone call and she'd pick it up and it'd be someone going, yeah, you don't have those anymore.
No, somehow they'll get revisited on cell phones, but no, not so much that I know of.
Maybe some women out there can correct us.
Now it happens on LinkedIn.
It's not even a giggle at the end, it was a weird thing.
It was exactly what you said.
Play it again, it's only three seconds.
Yeah, that was very, very weird.
Yeah, I don't think having hate speech next to an ad is great.
Now, when I played that initial clip with all the ums and the so-um-so, he really, he's really bad.
He's worse than a stammerer.
He's just terrible.
He also has Tourette's, he has tics, he has all kinds of stuff.
I see it.
I see what's going on.
I have compassion with him in that regard.
Us geniuses have all these issues.
I haven't noticed the Tourette's.
That's interesting you spotted that.
Oh yeah.
All kinds of tics.
I'm visualizing it now.
Verbal tics?
Verbal tics and some head tics?
Some jerky motion tics?
I can see it.
For some reason I was probably idolizing him too much and I would never idolize someone with tics.
Idolizing!
This is what I'm talking about, okay?
This is the humor.
All right, so we know that.
So he doesn't like hate speech next to ads.
So, let's listen to this.
This is interesting.
This is a software stack.
Software stack!
I only got the keys to the building a week ago, Friday.
So, you know, I'm moving pretty fast here.
But just take a moment to completely rewrite the software stack, you know.
Wow!
So, they're gonna rewrite the entire code base for Twitter?
No!
The software stack!
That's interesting.
Here's another one I thought was interesting.
Can I just say, I need to hear this again, because I have a problem with what he's saying, actually.
I've only got the keys to the building a week ago Friday, so I'm moving pretty fast here, but just take a moment to completely rewrite the software stack.
So, I mean, it takes a moment to completely rewrite the software stack.
I mean, is he going to rewrite Linux?
Is he going to rewrite the middleware databases?
It doesn't even sound like someone who knows, or is even intending it.
I think he's got some drop-in replacement ready to go.
That's what, when you have a stack, you just put a different stack in place.
You're not rewriting all the code.
You're putting something else.
I think there's a clue here.
There's a clue here.
You know that observation?
I'm 100% with you.
Yeah, there's a clue here.
Okay, there's a clue.
Here's another one.
This is a ToddBit growth clip.
Okay.
Yeah, well, and we've, for the record, like, we're seeing, you know, record-breaking user growth on the platform since you took the keys.
Um, so that's, that's excellent.
And... I love this the most.
Um... Hey, Elon.
Elon!
Elon, I'll be Jason Cal... Wait.
You have... You be Jason Calacanis and you pitch me... Okay.
And you pitch me, Elon...
You pitched me the idea of just lying and putting out a press release that there's an enormous user uptake.
Okay, here we go.
Hey, Jason.
Yeah, you know, I got a great idea of what you should do.
You can take the, uh, you can just lie because nobody's going to notice.
And so if you just tell them this, they're going to believe you.
It's a great idea.
You can credit me later by giving me a good job.
Exactly!
Ladies and gentlemen, the No Agenda players.
Chappo bye.
So let's go with Musk Scheme 1.
Conversation around Vine.
And can you just talk about some of the stuff you're really excited about from a product perspective?
She picked up on his excitement.
Who did this interview?
Is this in PR still?
No, she's a woman.
She's a woman?
Are you sure?
This is a presentation to the advertiser.
She's a queer head of advertising or something like that.
Oh, this is still the ad?
Everything you've heard is from this presentation.
Dude, I'd be like, I'd be like messaging you in the, in the meeting going, you guys are pervert.
We're not putting any money in that guy's hands.
I heard that there were people who actually were canceling orders during that meeting.
That's hearsay, but let's listen to this.
No, it was reported.
It was reported on Twitter.
These two clips are backing your ideas up.
Yes, I'm ready.
Listening to these clips, by the way, I want to compare the analysis you can come out of with actually all the clips I've played so far with what NPR had to say, which was basically nothing.
Listen to this.
Conversation around Vine.
Talk about some of the stuff you're really excited about from a product perspective, aside from, you know, we've already talked about subscriptions, but like what else?
You know, you've said to me in the past, to the team, like to the organization before about video and all those kinds of things.
So talk a little bit about that.
Yeah, video is definitely an area where Twitter has been historically weak, and it is an area that we're going to invest in tremendously.
I did ask people what their interest was in Vine.
Not that we would want to resurrect Vine in its original state, but would they want a Vine-like thing?
but, but, but, but reimagined for the future.
Um, and people were excited about that.
Um, one of the things when, if somebody does become, uh, sort of a paid blue verified is that they will, they will be able to initially use or download 10 minutes of high depth video, um, which will be expanding to, uh, 42 minutes soon.
And then, uh, several hours as we sort of fix a bunch of stuff on the backend servers.
There are a bunch of fundamental technology architecture changes that are needed at Twitter in order to support significant video.
So we've got to make those core software upgrades, server upgrades, in order to support a large amount of video.
But we are absolutely going to do that.
What is he, is he at level of, sorry I don't mean as bad, but dude named Ben running the servers, like, we've got to upgrade the servers.
Oh, that's real, that's the issue?
You only, you just need bigger servers?
This guy's full of monkey poop.
Well, if he's going to do what he said, he's got to upgrade something, because if you're going to do two hours of HD video, you're going to need something back there to carry all this stuff.
This is a lot of overhead.
So I think what he's saying is we just need more gear.
And don't forget, my basic thesis, which I still think is valid, and I think may still be valid, is a lot of the reasons that, and you see it with the fail whale that disappeared, and then all of a sudden they started shadow banning people, is I always thought that Twitter was overburdened.
I never thought they could handle the loads that they were witnessing, and that's the reason people weren't getting their tweets out.
No, no.
That was, in my opinion, because they were initially based on RSS, because they were a podcasting company, if you remember.
And they used that infrastructure to use tweets, and that just fell apart because it's not intended to be centralized.
It's a decentralized protocol.
So then they retooled.
I think it was after three, four years, John.
It took quite a while for them to retool everything.
But they did eventually move to, wait for it, Headless Drupal.
You're not using Drupal.
Of course not!
You said it as though you're giving us some facts there.
You're being sarcastic.
I can't help it.
That was an easy one.
Sarcasm doesn't work.
But anyway, onward.
I wasn't being sarcastic.
Yeah, when you said they're using headless Drupal.
That's not being sarcastic, that's being humorous.
Anyway.
I consider it sarcastic to even bring up the word Drupal.
Okay.
You Drupal.
Anyway, why don't you... Is that the end of that clip?
That was the end of clip one.
Okay, go to clip two.
We also need to enable monetization of content for creators.
And if we provide creators with the ability to post what they create on our platform and to monetize it at a rate that is at least competitive with the alternatives, then of course creators will natively post their content on Twitter.
Why not?
So those are kind of no-brainer moves.
Also key to verification, paid verified, is now we know that this is someone who has been authenticated by the payment system.
conventional payment system.
Now we can say, like, okay, you've got a balance on your account.
Do you want to send money to someone else within Twitter?
And maybe we pre-populate their account with and say, okay, we're going to give you $10, and you can send it anywhere within Twitter.
Then if you want to get it out of the system, then, okay, well, now you need to send it to a bank account.
So now attach an authenticated bank account to your Twitter account.
But-- Then the next step would be, let's offer an extremely compelling money market account, so you get extremely high yield on your balance.
Then why not move cash into Twitter?
Great, that sounds like a good idea.
And then add debit cards, checks and whatnot.
And I think it will be just basically make the system as useful as possible.
The more useful and entertaining it is, the more people will use it.
Does he know this is recorded and broadcast on the internet?
If he knows, nobody's paying attention.
I mean, and he's saying this to advertise that he's he does not give a shit about the audience.
You wouldn't, I mean, I've, I've, you're right.
I've done many pitch meetings with, uh, with, uh, with advertisers and the dog may bark in a moment.
I think some package is coming.
Um, and you know, there's just certain.
You suck up, basically.
You're just continuously making them feel good.
That's just how it works, and you reassure them, because they're little children with a big checkbook.
And you don't go off into Never Never Land about, I'm gonna be your bank, and, oh, by the way, wouldn't it be great if it was a CBDC?
You'd miss that part.
That would have been beautiful.
He's certainly ready for it.
He'll be the guy.
Yeah.
I agree.
With all the payment, authenticate, and think about it.
You know what?
You're getting money market accounts on Twitter?
What?
I mean, that right there is what PBS should be talking about, or NPR.
No one has noticed it until you noticed it last show.
How about CNBC?
Let's see what CNBC is saying about them.
I mean, they are so stupid, these people.
They really can't, they have zero Zero thought patterns, it's just, wow!
The Dow Jones is up 1200 points?
Holy guacamole.
Let me see, do I have anything on Elon?
Anything on Elon?
Man, he's not even on, oh here it is.
Read Elon Musk's first email to all Twitter employees.
Remote work over!
Company needs subscriptions!
This is your financial press?
The guy is literally talking about starting and becoming a bank.
Yeah, the guy's talking about becoming the bank of the world.
Yeah, yeah.
And everything you'd ever want from a bank, he's talking about it openly and nobody's noticing?
What?
And it's all gonna be doge.
Well, he doesn't even bring any of that in.
I mean, the stuff that he's saying is enough to keep some bank... He won't do that.
What he's saying is enough to keep CNBC busy for a week.
But no.
No.
He is not going to do doge, by the way, because... And he's not even talking about that because he's serious.
Now he means it.
Enough messing around.
Now I mean it for real.
I'm glad you got that.
Is the whole thing available?
I'd love to watch the whole thing.
Yes, the whole thing's available.
Just out of, you know, professional interest.
There's other stuff in there, too.
And then you can also make it one of the biggest collections of um, uh, so, uh, da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
Poor guy.
But this information, which I will give you 100% credit for first coming across, is now, it's obvious what's going on.
He says, he's saying it and nobody is paying any attention.
It's unbelievable to me.
The interesting thing is that he wants, he said specifically, maybe I give you 10 bucks up front in your account, which you can give to anybody you want on Twitter.
Now he didn't, did he say $10?
I don't remember.
He said 10.
He said 10 or $10.
He said $10.
Right.
So it could be a stable coin.
It could be anything.
It's not going to be... It'll be $10.
No.
It can't be because to send any fraction of $10 through the traditional payment processing system is just too expensive.
He won't be doing that traditional payment processing system.
It's going to be all internal.
Exactly.
Exactly.
That's called a stable coin, by the way.
Well, whatever it's called, if it can go to my bank account, which it seems so... Well, you should talk to people who invested in FTX and ask if that always works to take it out and put it in your bank account.
If he does it and I get a connection to my bank account, I'm good to go.
You trust Elon?
Yeah!
Even though you know his evil plan and the Mark of the Beast.
I know his evil plan!
Before we take our break, I want to play a Redux clip because it kind of plays into the difference between everything you've heard, the 10 billion dollars the mainstream media made, Elon becoming the bank, and little old podcasters Adam and John who Have just decided to see if we could get any value back for the value we create.
And someone sent me a link to this and I'm like, oh man, we haven't played that in a long time.
This is from 1999, David Bowie talking about the impact of the internet.
I don't think we've even seen the tip of the iceberg.
I think the potential of what the internet is going to do to society, both good and bad, is unimaginable.
I think we're actually on the cusp of something exhilarating and terrifying.
It's just a tool, though, isn't it?
No, it's not.
No.
No, it's an alien life form.
What do you think... I mean, when you think, then, about... Is there life on Mars?
Yes, it's just landed here.
But that's... It's simply a different delivery system there.
You're arguing about something more profound.
Oh, yeah.
I'm talking about the actual context and the state of content is going to be so different to anything that we can really envisage at the moment.
I've heard this before, but only this time did it really hit me.
will be so in simpatico it's going to it's going to crush our ideas of what mediums are all about I've heard this before but only this time did it really hit me this is exactly what is happening here I wanted credit you know he was a huge fan and he was in contact with us at Silicon Spin mm-hmm Why he lived in some place that he was living in Bermuda, I think at the time.
And he was a huge, he listened to the show all the time.
I think he got a lot of these ideas from us.
Oh, I'm sure of it.
Of course.
Every Ralph Macchio has a master.
Yes.
But when he says.
The content provider.
And the audience are going to be so simpatico it will make us question what medium really is.
Thank you, David Bowie.
That's exactly right.
The medium is no longer important.
Television, the fact that you transmit it through that system or cable, is no longer important.
What we're doing, simpatico, So simpatico, we don't even... David Bowie, rest in peace, if you hear this, we've taken it to the next level.
We don't even call our audience audience, we call them producers.
How Bowie are we?
How bowie?
I don't know.
I think we're pretty darn bowie.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the clenched election.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Davora!
Good morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feedin' the air, subs in the water, the dames and knights out there.
In the morning to everyone in the troll room, mainly trolls!
How you doing, trolls?
You probably feel right at home, because if you don't have a blue checkmark, you're gonna be right down with me, with the bots and the trolls.
And that's, so it must feel, it'll feel real comfortable, actually.
The trolls join us live on Thursdays and Sundays, but they're actually there all the time, because noagendastream.com has a 24-7 live stream, 12 shows live during the week of all times and I mean, you're right, Fletcher does a bluegrass show early in the morning, before Darren comes on, on Sunday, I think.
Apparently it's quite good.
I mean, I'm doing clips at that point.
You might want to tune in.
I think you'd like it.
Talking to me?
Yeah, talking to you.
Yeah, talking to you.
I was just talking to you.
Who else am I talking to?
The trolls, that's right.
I have heard that there may be some issues here or there with connecting to the Troll Room.
We're trying to figure out if something changed.
Oh yes, I sent you that note with some guys saying they can't even log in.
Do the voice properly.
I can't even log in.
I can't log in.
I tried and tried and they wouldn't let me log in.
It's your fault.
Exactly.
You get what you pay for, by the way.
So, Time Talent Treasure, you can always help us out.
But we'd like to take a look at the trolls today and see how many we have.
Okay, trolls, put your hands in the air and party like you just don't care.
1,814.
Is it just going down and down?
Are we just losing trolls?
Are they dying off?
No, I think exactly what that guy just told you.
Yeah, but I don't know how to fix it.
Are people just giving up?
Dude, you're not in charge of the troll room code or... I feel responsible for the... I'm responsible for the troll stack.
Get a new stack.
Get a new troll stack, man.
All right, trolls, good to have you here.
Of course, noagendasocial.com is where you can also hang out.
It is a Mastodon server.
Once again, your No Agenda show way ahead of the curve.
We've been using Mastodon for our community for about three years?
No, maybe even more.
More than three.
More than three, four years.
Now, it's been beautiful to watch all these idiots And with idiots, I mean people who are leaving Twitter, not because of the coming Mark of the Beast and Elon's total consumption of your life.
No, it's weird.
He's racist!
So they leave.
I'm outta here!
You can find me on Mastodon!
How many of those did you see?
I stopped paying attention.
And so what happened is, I love watching the technology people, two in particular, Dave Weiner, Kara Swisher.
And they both kind of like, I'm a Mastodon.
So I find him on Mastodon.
And these tech people have no idea how it works.
And so I follow them right away.
And so it goes like this.
Hey, I'm here on Mastodon.
Hi, everybody.
Well, screw, screw.
Well, I'm not sure how it works.
It's kind of confusing.
And then, yes, the one thing that the news media points out is many Twitter users are moving from Twitter to Mastodon, a Twitter-like experience with a chronological timeline.
And that's exactly what breaks these people.
So most of them figured out, so day two was like, hey, this is kind of interesting.
It's kind of cool.
I can edit my post!
Whoa, this is great!
Anybody out there?
Yeah.
And then by the third day, there's no posts.
They're done.
Because they don't understand that you need to join a community and communities intersect with other communities.
That's how it works.
And that's why we, you know, that's why our server is limited to 10,000.
10,000 trolls.
Anyway, you can join, I think we still have some room, signup.noagendasocial.com, and when you do so, actually, I've said it, so you automatically are following Adam and John, the two most important people in your life.
And now, let us thank the artistes for episode 1501, that was still part of our celebration week, we titled it Under Salt.
Uh, and the art was, uh, now, when, uh, I took a little bathroom break, I came back, I said, anything, what do you see in the art?
He says, I have one, this is the one, it's the one.
I mean, I have no arguments.
I don't care who you are.
This is the one.
And it was the one by Nestworks, which was the, uh, vote, get monation.
It was the voting box.
Um, that is not the way the discussion went.
Oh, I'm sorry.
How did it go?
You're like doing it.
You're doing Mimi's imitation of me.
Well, we're both married to you, so we would know.
Mimi's imitation.
Hey, you walked into that one!
I did.
So Mimi's imitation of me is always the same.
That's it.
That's the whole imitation.
It goes no further than that.
No, that's not true.
No, it goes like this.
You know what John will do.
That's how it goes.
There's an intro.
There's an intro piece to it.
She's so badass.
I told her, we were talking about something the other day, and I told her, you need to wear a body cam.
Because apparently, she goes in places and when someone's a dick, she tells them they're a dick.
To their face.
Like rather loudly.
Her favorite thing is calling men.
She does this constantly.
And she does it in a public setting so she gets either a round of applause or some thumbs up or people all cower.
She told me this story about a trans guy who was in the supermarket.
You tell the story.
I can't remember this story, but it's some tall trans dude.
But he had fake boobs on, kind of like the fake boobs.
Yeah, like the shop class guy.
Yeah, half the size, though.
And he was there with his mother, and all he did was berate the mom, and so Mimi jumped all over him.
She said, stop being mean to that old lady!
And this woman was, what, six foot four or something?
The trans guy.
Yeah, big tall dude.
John, I beg you, I beg the family, la familia.
We need a body cam on Mimi.
This is gold, baby, gold.
It would be, it would be, yeah, it would be gold for some, yeah, especially when Elon gets this thing where he gets paid for these things.
Go Elon!
Go Elon!
I would say don't hold your breath.
Anyway.
Um, you were pretty confident you liked this one a lot.
I do think... I was confident because as soon as I saw it, I said, there's the winner.
That's, yeah, that's how it went.
In my mind, that translated differently, I guess.
Yeah.
Uh, let me see.
So what else did we have?
Then everybody agreed.
I go to the chat room.
Oh, no, of course everybody agreed.
But No Agenda Social has a group of artists and they go... Oh, come on.
No, hold on.
No.
They're all... No.
No, they're insincere.
They're all like, hey, congrats.
Great work, fucker.
You know that that's what they're doing.
You know it.
You know it.
I'm so sure of it.
Hey, that was great.
Oh, congrats.
Two in a row, bastard.
I'm telling you.
I know artists.
I'm sure there's a sub thread somewhere or another instance that we're unaware of.
We're like, man, Adam and John... Adam and John prick win again.
Adam and John suck, man.
These guys don't know what they're doing.
Don't know what they're doing.
We love our artists.
We love all the artists.
I'm already... Did this stuff come in this morning?
Yeah.
Some dynamite Tantanil stuff.
What else was there?
There was, we had another no agenda, like I voted badge.
That was nice.
It was a yeah, no.
Clip of the day.
Mac and cheesy.
Was there not that much?
Or did stuff go wrong?
No, this thing was so, I mean, heads and shoulders above everything else.
Oh yeah, that was very good.
Nestworks, thank you so much.
Congratulations.
And, of course, I'm only kidding.
I know that all the, it's a great community.
And, you know, we hone their skills.
I think that we help We don't hone their skills.
I'm looking... I'm looking at... Have you seen top row of the... So, the way this works is artists, they listen live during the show.
When we're done, then they already have the artwork up, so we can... I don't know if you see it.
Yeah, I see it.
So that we can...
So we can choose something.
I'm going to say what it is.
So in one of the spots for the art, somebody put in... Correct a record.
Correct a record.
Instead of art, he put in a bunch of text that says, Placeholder for Comic Strip Bloggers Inevitable Butt-Inspired Clenched Artwork.
See?
They all love each other.
They know each other's style.
They know each other's vibe, man.
Thank you all so much.
He clenched the election.
NoahJennerArtGenerator.com or get one of those fancy modern podcast apps for a modern podcast, not some old medium that you're still tethered to.
And you can see all these things flying by.
Some of them even work with CarPlay and Android Auto.
So you can see while you're driving, you see the artwork flipping.
It's a distraction.
I don't know if you're driving, it's such a good idea.
It's a great idea.
Some of this art is very funny and you'll be driving along.
John, are you on the 2.0 bandwagon?
Are you pushing Well, I'm just saying for car use.
It should be entertaining for your passengers.
Okay.
You're driving the Uber and people can comment on it while you're playing the show.
Because I'm sure all Ubers play our show.
Hey, want to hear a cool podcast?
Hey, we need to get Uber on board with our show.
Before they go out of business.
Quick.
Let us thank the The executive and associate executive produced this for episode 1502.
Now with that, I will say that we are, as of this episode, are going to start making good for some of the 1500th celebration week Mishaps and things that just went wrong because of the the breakage of the entire value for value model.
And thank you all, by the way, for some of your many good suggestions.
We're working on that.
Give us a month or so, maybe two.
We'll put it in the FAQ.
We'll let you know when it's updated.
Jan 1.
Jan 1.
Q1, baby.
It's Q1.
That's what we're aiming for.
So it will be a little long here and there, and I think we have to split them up just because there's so many make goods.
But let us start with today's first executive producer, Richard Leone, from Canton, Ohio, comes in with $1,000.
And we thank him very much for that.
He says, this should take me to Barron since the last $1,000 was a double up.
That's right.
Question, if being missed made me a black knight, could I be a black and gold knight?
What does that mean?
I know, he just wants more status.
No.
His first note lost.
I wanted to be knighted.
Suhudet of the Hall of Fame City.
We got you covered, Richard.
Thank you very much for your support.
We really appreciate it.
All right.
Next up is Summit Khanna at MIT in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
He sent a note in and a check.
And, uh, S-U-M-I-T is his name.
It's actually his name.
Huh.
Summit?
Uh, I can't remember, and I, by the way, I cut this note down because it's... Is Summit a man or a woman?
Isn't Summit, is that a dude's name?
Well, I'm, it may explain itself here.
Okay.
I think it's a dude because, uh, he or she maintains a website, BattlePenguin.com.
BattlePenguin.com.
BattlePenguin.com.
Okay.
And that's gotta be a guy.
I can't remember when I started listening to No Agenda or who recommended it, but I'm glad I did.
It was one of those few objective reviews of reality during the Trump years and into the beginning of the scam-demic.
Due to your coverage in March of 2020, I started to pull numbers myself from the Johns Hopkins and CDC data, ran them through my own Python scripts, dude, and came up with the same conclusions as so many.
The world was totally overreacting.
And he goes on with some issues about Netflix and the rest.
And I'm going to skip down to where he says, that's all I want to say.
I really appreciate what you guys do.
Please accept my contribution.
I need no de-douching.
I'm a pirate and I'll own it.
If anyone was like me, the entertainment industry would collapse.
And he has a smiley face.
True.
Yeah, true that.
But, you know, not everybody's like you and never will be.
So they're not going to collapse.
Please mention my website, battlepenguin.com, which I already did.
I run zero ads and I write a lot of articles your listeners may be interested in, but I'm also at jsumdog on any social and run my own Fediverse instance at jsumdog at jsumdog.com.
Thank you for your courage and could I have a turn the frogs gay and we're all gonna die.
Thanks, Summit.
I was just looking at his website.
It's pretty cool actually, there's some good stories here.
Wikipedia is a source of political propaganda.
Okay.
Goodbye to PayPal.
The growing fight against censorship on the web.
I just got some interesting stuff here.
I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin' frogs gay!
Oh.
Sorry, it didn't happen.
We're all gonna die!
There we are.
I have gotten a request from the knighting team, knighting and daming team, to only mention the roundtable requests during the actual reading of the notes themselves.
They feel that I'm butchering too much of them at the end and it's messing stuff up.
So I'm going to adhere to that.
But everything is ordered as usual.
And I say that because Nathan Lombardi has something he wants to order.
He is our first associate executive producer from Lake Wylie in South Carolina.
287.01.
Dear Adam and John, today I'm happy to offer this value in exchange for a seat at the round table.
Adam hit me in the mouth on his first Joe Rogan appearance and the journey so far has been transformative to say the least.
You're trans, man.
I love it.
This week, I joined No Agenda Social, and I'm not surprised it has already replaced Facebook and other socials as my go-to platform.
Please knight me as Sir Thomas McKean, Knight of the House of Lombardi, after my paternal great-grandmother's ancestor, who was a colonel for George Washington, signed the Declaration of Independence for Delaware and served as governor of PA.
If it do please, I will take a tall glass of Branton's bourbon with a lit tie stick at the round table.
I'll get you a lit tie stick.
Man, can you imagine?
Can you imagine what your great-grandmother's ancestors would think of Fetterman?
Just saying.
Thank you very much, Nathan.
We got you covered.
There you go.
Tystick's still a thing?
Yeah.
I mean, yes.
Allison Remenap in Grassenville, Graysonville, Graysonville, probably, Maryland, 250.
And in the morning, John and Adam, this donation from my handsome husband, Brian Riley.
This comes in from Allison, yeah.
Who, uh, is on his way to knighthood.
I love you more every day.
November 6th was also his birthday, so if you could please add him, he's added to the birthday list.
D-douche me!
You've been D-douched.
We're getting to donate last week when I could have doubled up my, doubled up the whole amount.
But anyway, jingles, Brennan innocent until proven, until alleged, the Brennan clip, which is a classic.
Yeah.
And R2D2 karma.
We got married in Maryland in September of this year.
And we were a little worried when John dropped his rain stick, dropped it.
Yes, I did.
A few weeks before, since we had an outdoor wedding with no backup plan.
But it all worked out, random fact.
But Christian, Christine, I'm sorry, Christine Lagarde was our commencement speaker for our college graduation in 2017.
Wow!
All we remember is that speech was extremely boring and lasted way too long.
She also mainly focused on women graduating and ignored the men.
This is content, people.
This is why you tune in.
Where else would you hear?
Thank you all for what you do and congrats on your 15th anniversary, Allison.
Oh, thank you very much, Allison.
People are innocent until, you know, alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity.
You've got karma.
Thank you for bringing that one up.
Kenneth Kasper is in New Braunfels, Texas, 201.86, and he sent in a note.
He says, Hey John Adam, thank you for all your hard work to keep us informed and teaching us how to look at the media critically.
Adam, being in beautiful Texas Hill Country, have you heard of the Tex-It movement?
Yes, I have.
The Texas Nationalist Movement has been working hard to gain our independence.
We have meet-up and local organizations across the state.
Check us out on the web at tnm.me.
Oh, he's a Texas Nationalist Movement District Director.
SD25.
I don't know if this is a good idea.
I mean, we don't want to be a part of the United States.
I kind of like the United States.
I do kind of like it.
You gotta remember, Adam is not a Texan.
No, I'm accepted.
I'm an acceptan.
Yeah.
But I'm not really, I mean, but, yeah.
I don't know if all Texans feel that way.
Oh, screw them, we'll just be our own state, our own country.
I don't know.
It's a lot of work.
It's, I think people underestimate.
You have to have an army, you have your National Guard already.
And all the ammo and weaponry you have.
I like the idea personally, but I'm not in Texas.
I think California could be its own country, and it would be the seventh biggest economy in the world.
It would be a big country.
And they're already charging us full tilt for everything, overcharging us in taxes and everything in between, so we could probably put the army together pretty quickly.
And we also have Lockheed Martin here and we've got NASA Space Center.
We already have the armaments companies here, tons of them.
We're cutting off all your lines for the tech companies.
You won't be able to get Facebook on the continent.
You won't be able to get Twitter on the continent, John, when you're your own world.
Well, it's something to think about.
But yeah, it's probably a bad idea, and it's not good for the show.
Well, it might be.
Thank you, Kenneth.
Sarah Gardner's next on the list, and she's in Wilmington, North Carolina, $200.51.
$200.51.
North Carolina is the no agenda state of choice.
Show birthday shout out to Tom.
Gardner from Wife Sarah.
Please give him a biscuit for his birthday.
R2-D2 Karma for his 51st trip around the sun.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
You've got... Karma.
Alright, we got Steve P. And where's Steve P from?
Hold on a second.
What, uh... Oops, I thought I had the right...
He's page one.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I see what I'm doing wrong.
All right, Steve P., you're page one.
All right.
Oh, nice, uh, living the dream card.
It's a cute little card.
Yeah.
Love both of you.
Thank you for your courage, and please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
Love from Steve P. in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
I think I'm saying that right.
Waukesha?
Waukesha?
I think it's Waukeesha.
Waukeesha?
Maybe Waikusha.
But I've been corrected for my Wisconsin pronunciations.
Wirt Fuller in, or Wirt, Wirt, it's got to be Wirt, in Batavia, New York, 200 bucks, and he sends another reason to check in.
It's Batavia.
It's Batavia.
We say Batavia.
Well, there you go.
It's Batavia to the people with the pinky fingers out.
Only people in finance say Batavia.
I'm in finance and Batavia.
Yes.
Congrats on 1500 episodes.
The best hours I spend in a week is listening to No Agenda.
Hello.
Thank you.
Boom.
And that's it from Wirt.
That's all you gotta know.
Alex Green is in Greenfield Park, New York.
Hey, nearby people.
One fo- Oh, no, I'm sorry.
Well, I'm gonna read his note anyway since, uh, we'll be- I already started.
He's 144.45, but he will be a- a, uh, a knight.
Do you mind if I just read him here?
If you can cut it short.
No, there's no way to do it.
Look at the size of this note.
Man, look at the size of that guy's thing.
I have finally earned the esteemed title of Knight.
Please deduce me- You've been de-douched.
I would like to assign myself the title of Sir Brafeci, Knight of Shakedown Street, and he says, first and foremost, need to send you all a massive thank you.
The show has changed my life for the better.
What?
Shakedown Street.
Shakedown.
Shakedown.
What did I say?
Shakedown Street.
I used to fear giving my opinions as I currently live in the ultra-liberal state of New York, went to undergrad at a small liberal arts college in Vermont, and was born and raised in Greater Boston.
Dude, it's like you got three strikes.
The fact that he can survive that means anyone can.
This guy is some kind of Superman.
Since listening to your show, I have found the courage to stand steadfast in my opinions and have learned some skills on how to express these thoughts using evidence-based arguments.
I could even send... Ta-da!
I got receipts, mofo!
I can even send show notes to help explain my points.
You guys are the best.
Uh, he sent us both a package with his grandfather's books.
Which, yes, I did receive the parasitic role of the elites, thank you.
And John, you probably got a copy of The Common Genius?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
They're in the big stack, but it will be read.
And that's a reminder.
Here's Grampy.
He's a true free thinker, an amazing man, has a lot of wisdom to provide us all.
And you can find some of his sage advice at BillGreenBooks.com.
Thanks again for everything, boys.
For the roundtable, please get your finest buffalo wings, a Caesar salad, and a four-pack of Hettie toppers.
Jingles.
Yeno?
Oh, I should have done a Yeno.
Do I have a Yeno?
Y'know, y'know.
Do we have a jingle of y'know, y'know?
Yeah, the Beatles, yeah.
So while you say goodbye, say hello.
Y'know, y'know.
Mariachi and Patriot Karma for all.
Thank you for your courage.
The newly dubbed Sir Brafussy Knight of Shakedown Street.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
You're saying yeah while you're saying no.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.
You know.
Yeah, no.
I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
Yeah, no.
I don't know why you're saying yeah while saying no.
Okay, you know what?
Yeah, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Come on.
You've got.
Karma.
Karma.
That's actually a nice little sequence there.
I kind of enjoyed those.
I liked it.
Haven't heard those in a while.
Let's grab a couple of these make-goods, John.
We can do more in our second segment, if you don't mind.
No, I think it's great.
I will kick it off with Aaron Harvey.
Thanks to numerous switch-roos from Sir Harvey Wallbanger, I am now a dame.
From Aaron.
Since I reached Damehood, thanks to the double donation promotion, I wish to be called Dame Discount and would like the placards made by PartyPlacards.com at the round table.
Oh, you are sly.
And anyone looking for custom party and event decorations, go to PartyPlacards.com, enter the code ITM10 at checkout for a discount.
Man, I love people who pick up on a double up offer and still Managed to make some money out of it very well done Aaron.
We'll see you at the roundtable Emily Clanton happy anniversary would like to reach out to other producers who are living with chronic health condition I don't have a clear idea of how this will work But I think we should have a place to connect that is free of constant externalized fear and pressure Have you ever heard of no agenda social comm?
Instead, we should look at things from the perspective of insurance companies.
They demand annual prioritization for treatments meaning the conditions which currently have no cure.
This must mean the cures for everything are imminent.
I'd be like to call Dame Dame.
Oh.
Dame Dame.
Okay, give me a little pronunciation guide.
Damedame.
It's the Japanese word for no good or stop.
Damedame!
You commonly hear it when a child or animal engages in a no-no activity.
I'd like gluten-free pumpkin pie at the table, please.
People interested in getting in touch can email me at chronicallybadassatpm.me.
Wow.
So, stomach issues probably as well.
And gluten crap.
There's more.
It could just be the vid by itself.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Uh, Michael Burdet?
Burdet?
Burdet.
Burdet, he says.
Wow!
Wow!
News, comedy, deconstruction, great stories, and the sound!
Well, I envy your skills, Adam.
When John left Twit, I followed John to the No Agenda show.
The show seemed a little weird at first, but I've been a douchebag ever since.
Sure, I've donated here and there, but it's hard to say I've returned value for value.
During COVID, armed with knowledge from No Agenda, I filed for my exemption, kept my job serving our doctors, a value I could never repay.
I should have joined the Great Resignation, but instead I adopted a couple of human resources, my grandkids.
We had a blast, leaving Seattle on empty planes to experience small crowds at entertainment venues across the red states.
It wasn't all great.
We, the UNVACs, were banned from our cruise after being postponed for two years.
That was a bummer, but next year we try again.
I've grown fond of Curry and the Keeper.
Oh, that's nice, thank you.
After two divorces, you two inspire me.
Yes.
You got it.
You gotta go for that third marriage, bro.
My dubbing credit donations on show 1500... My doubling credit on donations on show 1500 put me over the knighthood threshold.
Yeah!
Normal staples at the table will be fine.
However, I could use a de-douching if you have any left.
You're in luck!
You've been de-douched.
And he will be forewith known as Servant of my Lord Jesus Christ and the Gitmo Nation.
No jingles, no karma.
You got it.
Uh, do you have any of these in front of you, or do you just want me to do them all?
I'll read a couple.
You got Micah?
Because I got Micah.
I got Michael Lavelle.
Yes.
Am I a noot?
You go for Micah!
I screwed up and sent my donation email to the wrong address.
Thank you.
I believe I am still able to become an instantite.
Yes, all these things that were passed over for one reason or another, it holds.
It just doesn't get credited immediately.
I received during donation inflation week and credited on show 1501.
To save time, you do not have to read the email on the show.
Oh, oh.
But I do want you both to know how much I truly appreciate everything you've done over the years.
She needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
And we'll go on to Alan Sibley, another one.
A double 350 donation brings me to knighthood.
Please knight me, Sir Radical.
Knight of the Holy Orbs.
Holly, H-O-L-L-E-Y.
Shout out to my smoking hot wife, Shannon.
Shannon!
And my wife and my friends and fellow listeners, Jeremy and David.
Jeremy hit me in the mouth years ago.
Thanks, Jeremy.
Thanks for all you do.
Alan.
Cory, butch wheat.
How about buckwheat?
It could be buckwheat, but it's B-U-C-H, but I would call it butch wheat.
That's from Louisiana.
But it's probably, oh, it's from Louisiana?
I don't know how busy you and John are day in and day out.
I just might, like, I'm gonna be just like the coach of the LSU football team, who came from the North, but he now talks like this.
He's just making this up.
I don't know if he's from Louisiana, just so you know.
Oh, well, okay, well, everyone got that.
Everyone that watches football got what I had to say.
I know how busy you and John are, Dan and Dad.
It was just my luck that you both had an overload of donations.
I can't get the twang in there.
I can't get it out.
Of donations and notes for Show 1500.
I originally sent this email to John, but then I thought perhaps Adam would get a greater appreciation for my fiancé's new bake book.
Ah, well, it must be irritating as hell reading our notes.
No, we entertain ourselves fine.
As a first-time donation from show 1500, could I please ask to have my note read on the air only if possible for Sunday's show?
Apparently not.
It would mean a lot to me.
It would also fall in line better for Jen's birthday on the 15th.
Can you also use my real name, Cory Buckwheat?
Not Ken Wheat.
I much appreciate this.
It is buckwheat then.
Thank you for all the meticulous work all these years.
I'll copy the note below here.
Thank you both.
God bless you both.
And then he goes on with some other note.
On top of this note.
No, she, not he, she.
She.
Corrie.
Oh, Corrie.
Corrie needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
Now, this is the beginning of her journey to damehood, and she talks about their business.
Okay, I see.
That's Corrie's a girl.
Corrie's also a man's name.
It's like Pat.
I know, but I read ahead and I saw the dame thing, so.
Yeah, Corrie's a she.
Well, actually, no, then you see Ken, because Ken says, please put the missus on the birthday list as we begin to celebrate her alleged 33... You guys are confusing.
Yeah, see, this is the problem with these notes.
I should mention something.
Yeah.
These notes are out of control.
They go, one goes to me, one goes, they send them to me, they send them to Adam, they send them to where they should be sent, which is notes at noagendashow.net.
That's where they're supposed to go.
And I actually got one the other day that was sent to you, was sent to notes, was sent to JC at Dvorak.org and John at Dvorak.org and some other one.
Noagenda at Dvorak.org.
And so it's like, okay, so we are going to straighten this out first quarter of next year.
Q1 everybody, Q1.
I can't wait for that call.
Andrew PG, I donated for the 15th anniversary.
I want to be the knight of the Patagonia y Tierra del Fuego.
For the round table, if we can have Shisha empanadas, South American style.
Oh, I love empanadas.
Then we have Chris Wieter-Zakowski.
I think Wieter-Zakowski sounds right to me.
Wieter-Zakowski.
Congratulations on your 1500 episodes.
Thank you for your courage.
Please knight me.
Sir El Asmo of Sarasota.
Pierogis and pivo for the round table would be fantastic.
Stay safe.
Daniel Posselt, he had a correction.
John Adams, not too much trouble in regards to my donation note for episode 1501.
I'd like to be knighted, sir.
Dan someone?
Yes, we'll take care of it.
And for the round table, like some gobbles and ginger ale?
Or geo, geo, but what is he starting to say?
No, it's GEO, jeebles.
I don't know.
I don't know what he's talking about.
I mean, you don't, these guys can order anything.
Do you really want gobbles at the round table?
He's sitting next to you.
You know, and this is also a confusing thing because he was knighted as something else, I guess.
But he says the tie was not received.
And if you look on the list there, he's not listed as a knight.
He is listed as Sir Daniel Postel being operated.
John, I think we already told everybody that we're going to fix it all.
Well, it's fixed, but I don't know if it's the fixing ones.
Nothing is fixed.
It's all broken.
Go away.
This is true.
Nothing is fixed.
Francie Silva.
Hey gents, this daming was missed for the 15th anniversary special.
My apologies.
I could have specified the donation was for daming in my PayPal note instead of the accompanying email.
Yes, that's the preferred method and guaranteed.
Original contents afforded in this email, along with the accounting, a dash of karma thrown in for the upcoming holidays would be cherished.
Happy anniversary, Mike Kings!
You are the best!
Thank you very much.
We'll give ourselves a karma there.
You've got karma.
Aaron Meisenberg, I believe my $2.32 donation for show 1499 was missed, but I'd still like an executive producer credit and be knighted.
Sir A.A.
Ron of the Little Luxembourg Settlement and Greater Bohemian Alps.
No jingles, no karma, because I'd ask for jobs karma just by asking.
I had three unsolicited LinkedIn messages asking for interviews.
Congratulations.
You know what happens if you put your executive producer title in your LinkedIn, you get a lot of emails.
Hey, I'm also a podcast executive producer and consultant.
There's a lot of people who think that this credit is equal to a podcast consultant.
Tell them to buzz off.
Mark Shonka, congratulations guys.
Thanks to your inflation special, I am donating $1,000 to become an Insta Knight and switcheroo.
Make my smoking hot wife, Sarah, an Insta Dame.
Please de-douche us.
You've been deduced.
We got hit in the mouth by a daughter and son-in-law in the early COVID debacle, and your show helped us keep our sanity.
We've shared your show with many friends, some of whom appreciate it, some of whom just can't break free of the M5M.
I would like my knight name to be Sir Marcus of Gurkaland, and Sarah would like to be Dame Sarah of the Lake Mary Agates.
Agates?
Agates.
Agates?
What's agates?
I think agate.
What is an agate?
It's like an agate.
It's like a rock.
Oh.
All right.
There's a bunch of agates, I guess, at Lake Mary.
It's some kind of rock.
I'm guessing.
That sounds right.
At the round table, the mutton sounds great.
Sarah would like a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, and I would like a glass of Buffalo Trace with a Gercasella Reserve 15 cigar.
If you have a Gurkha sword for the knighting ceremony, it would be cool.
John, luckily, has one of those.
Hold on a second.
You've got the Gurkha.
Is it allowable to have a... if he... I thought there was no smoking at the table.
Where have you been?
Well, that went out the door in 2009.
Christopher Winter from Fitchburg, Massachusetts.
Nuts, he says.
In the morning, crackpot and buzzkill.
Thanks for the inflation special.
This donation of 333.33 almost brings me to knighthood.
Adam, can you kick in a penny?
I think I got a penny.
Let me reach in the pocket here a second.
I thought I had one.
Oh, it's right in that corner.
Okay, got it.
Please knight me, Sir Christopher Brike of the Dirty Burg.
For the round table, I'm requesting the Bolveni Caribbean Cask Scotch.
You got it.
Anonymous, congrats on a fantastic $1,500.
Thanks to you and the No Agenda community for keeping my amygdala small.
While the fact was a very thorough and enthralling read, up there was some of the finest literature of the last century.
It's like with the FAQ on our website.
Oh, I goofed up and just put some notes in the Your Thoughts field on the donation page for shows 14, 99, and 1500, which I'm sure got lost in the flood.
My 1500 donation came as I was making my way through Newark Airport to the gate for my flight home, and when I saw it was gate 33, The die had been cast.
I knew what I had to do.
So I hope this note finds you and serves as a combo note for my knighthood.
It does.
Please knight me Xer Xio of the Wu-Tang Ham.
I humbly request Porsheter, Bombete, and Prosecco.
Prosecco for the round table.
You got it.
Two more.
Three more here.
John, pick one up.
Pick one.
Just jump in any time.
A Duke Chris.
This is good old Chris Weinberg.
Greetings to John and Adam and the Lovely Keeper.
After hand-delivering our 15th anniversary donation to Tina the Keeper during the Sunday Show 1499, I came home and decided to do a tally and realized I was so close to knighthood that I couldn't pass up this golden opportunity accounting below.
There's really no other show like this, the best podcast in the universe.
Or the best codcast, that's interesting.
And today's fish catch is mostly cod, with some grouper.
The void that would exist were you to cease broadcasting would be vast.
It'd be vast.
I agree with that, by the way.
Can I get Pastor Manny's whoops-bombers, whoop-bombers behind?
Thank you for your courage.
Be blessed as you enter fully into your teenage years.
Just think, soon you can drive the car.
Please knight me Sir Alan the Bearded and I will happily dine on the already present Tomahawk Steaks served with the several hearty drams of Lagavulin 16 at the round table.
Which, uh, whoop Obama's ass.
That's whoop him.
With the Constitution?
Whoop him.
Yeah, yeah.
Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him.
Get out there and whoop Obama's behind!
Whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him, whoop him with the Constitution!
I know you guys have a lot of stuff to keep up with, says Matthew Wells.
I On show 1500, but I only received credit for this show.
Now see, this is like one of these confusing credits all over the place, and you gotta double this and that, and it's just impossible.
Credit for show, the $165, which we normally just credit by name, special EP credit, and not the additional $35 I donate, which is in this segment that would be anonymous, period.
Some people have quant math.
All right, so here's what happened, okay?
Thus bringing me to knighthood.
Okay.
That's great.
The donation amount for the show is 200 as confirmed in John's response to my previous email.
Yeah.
I probably wrote back.
You've had correspondence.
You've had correspondence.
Yeah, I sent something back too.
As proven by this.
I haven't closed the accounting again.
For your reference.
Jays, you guys can't get anything straight.
Please ensure that I get my proper credits received.
I'm knighted.
In an upcoming make-good, if you have time on the show during said make-good, please send me Joe Biden's job as karma and a resist rematch to the head of China's asshole as jingles.
And I would like WWE dabs at the round table.
Thank you very much, Sir Matt Wells.
Wait, is he Sir Matt Wells?
No, he will be.
That's what his night name's going to be.
Of the Austin Predictables.
Yeah, that's what it's going to be.
Predictabbies.
Pettacabbies.
Oh, he's a Pettacabbie.
Pettacabbies.
So I don't get it.
Is he a knight already?
Has he been knighted?
He hasn't been knighted.
Is he on the list?
I don't think so.
Hello!
What many people do is they sign, usually they will sign off with soon to be.
Got it?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, he's hopefully be knighted today.
And last I'll do, I'll read this one.
Trevor the machinist.
500 bucks, okay, there we go.
Please keep me anonymous.
Credit is Trevor the Machinist.
Okay, you got credited correctly.
There's another thing that's an issue.
I'll tell everybody out there now, because we had some guy who sent a note in saying, you didn't name me, you dead named me.
I should have been anonymous.
If you really want to be anonymous over $49.99, send in a check, P.O.
$10.99. Send in a check.
P.O. Box 339, El Cerrito, California. 94530. Box 339, El Cerrito, California.
Because that way you can be, but if it goes in the paper... Everybody get a pen, write it down everybody.
You can back it, you can back up.
This is a, this is recorded.
No, you can also go to Dvorak.org slash NA.
It's right there on the right hand side, down the right hand, but you can see it right there is the PO Box.
Yeah, but they still don't know.
The point is, is that This is gonna happen if you go through PayPal.
It's okay, John.
We get it.
We're fixing it.
Stop harping already.
Move on.
Really, we're okay.
No one's complaining but you.
I'm complaining.
Yes.
Please knight me, Sir Trevor the Machinist.
Thanks for the excellent media deconstruction.
Jingles, chemtrails, beautiful, yum.
Amen, fist bump, no karma.
This is also gonna change, by the way?
Yeah, we're going to stop doing jingles.
I mean, we don't have to stop, but people just take advantage of it.
Yum.
I will try this.
I don't know if we had a beautiful, beautiful, I do know.
Got to the end of the year, people, to get your jingle requests in.
And your deductions.
We're running out.
We're running out of deductions.
What was the third one?
What was the third?
Chemtrails.
Beautiful.
Yum.
Amen.
Fist bump.
Oh, goodness.
It says three.
It's only three.
Well, it's only three.
You're not the one looking them up.
Boom, boom, boom.
Beautiful.
Yum.
Amen.
Fist bump.
Nailed it.
All right.
Here we go.
All right, everybody.
Thank you so much.
Wait, wait, Tom Davies, make good.
I'm sorry.
That's the last one.
I believe my 1500th episode note... Let me do this correctly.
I believe my 1500th episode note may have been lost in the mayhem of the mass night formation.
Would you be so kind as to add me to the upcoming roundtable celebration BNJNK with no special requests at the roundtable?
How hard can that be?
I'd like to be known as Sir Adam Giant of Cary, North Carolina.
Keep up the great work, Tom Davies.
Yay!
Very nice.
Thank you to all these executive associate executive producers, 15th anniversary celebratory producers, knights, dames, barons.
We do hopefully have the entire list good for our ceremony later on with one of those funky ass swords that was requested and thank you again.
And if I didn't say it during the 1500th week, Thank you to everyone who was on the sustaining donations, who kept on there throughout the various payment processing debacles.
It's very appreciated because that really does make a difference.
It's more than people understand.
And so even though John accused you, rightly so, of virtue signaling, Yeah.
It hurts.
So, the people who throughout our history have, and 15 years, have been on sustaining donations.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
If you'd like to learn more, you only have until January 1st to see the old donation page.
Go there quick.
Thank you all for 15 years of your time, your talent, your treasure!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order. Order.
Shut up, slave.
Shut up, slave.
Just briefly, just a little update since we do the show live anyway.
This is sounds right now of Athens, Greece where thousands have taken to the streets.
Guess what they're pissed off about?
Taxes.
What?
Taxes.
Taxes.
The cost of energy and food.
They're starving and can't drive like every other country.
Except this is the EU.
And this is the weak sister of the EU.
This is new.
This is new.
This is up to a head within the next year or two.
Luckily, Norah Jenner will have the best angles on it.
Hello, as always.
Now, I have a couple of clips I want to get out of the way.
This is some CIA stuff.
Now, this is based on the clip that was posted online?
From Snowden?
Snowden posted this clip online.
I picked it up.
It sounds like every other clip.
We've played a bunch of these clips.
The last one we played was a CIA guy talking about how they would plant stories in Africa, and then those stories were picked up by London, a CIA guy, or MI6 guy in London.
And he'd run it in London, and then the U.S.
media was pointed to it.
Yeah, and they would say, according to the Africa Times, and confirmed by, as the London Times also says... So now this guy is named Frank Snipp, who actually wrote a couple of books, and he wrote one book right after he quit the CIA, and he...
The CIA sued him for some breach of confidentiality and actually took all his royalties to the tune of $300,000.
He took all his money and then made it so he had to clear everything he did through the CIA, which is normal if you're an ex-CIA and you're writing books about the CIA.
I can confirm that Don had to pull certain things out of his book pot shards.
Yeah.
The agency said, nope, nope, no one can know you were living in Japan.
For some reason.
Yeah, stuff like that.
So here is, so here is, now the thing that's interesting is that, is what this, what these two clips lead to, which I'll get into after we play these two clips.
And this is a snap talking about how during the Vietnam era, how they would plant, how the CIA would plant stories in the media.
And it makes nothing but sense.
And it's actually, if you were.
Question.
Yes?
This interview, cause that no one tells, where's this, who did this interview?
Where's this from?
We don't know.
Okay.
We don't know.
This was just dropped on the market by Snowden with very little detail.
Interesting.
You briefed the press, did you not, when you were there?
Well, I had several jobs.
One of my jobs was that of analyst.
I also was an interrogator and, indeed, briefed the press when we, the CIA, wanted to circulate disinformation on a particular issue.
Disinformation is not necessarily a lie.
It may be a half-truth.
And we would pick out a journalist.
I would go do the briefing and hope that he would Put the information in print.
For instance, if we wanted to get across to the American public that the North Vietnamese were building up their force structure in South Vietnam, I would go to a journalist and advise him that in the past six months, X number of North Vietnamese forces had come down the Ho Chi Minh trail system through southern Laos.
Now, There is no way a journalist can check that information so either he goes with the information or he doesn't and ordinarily or usually the journalist would go with it because it was it looked like some kind of exclusive and I would say our percentage of planning that kind of data was 70 to 80 percent the correspondence we targeted
Well, those who had terrific influence, the most respected journalists in Saigon, like Robert Chaplin of the New Yorker magazine, Kai's Beach, of the Los Angeles Times from time to time, and also he worked for the Chicago Daily News, Bud Merrick of U.S.
News & World Report, Malcolm Brown of the New York Times, Even Maynard Parker of Newsweek Magazine.
We would go after these gentlemen.
I would be directed to cultivate them, to spend time with them at the Caravelle Hotel or the Continental Hotel.
To socialize with them and slowly but surely to try to gain their confidence by dolloping out valid information, information which was true.
And then I would drop in, into a conversation, the data that we wanted to get across which might not be true.
One piece of data, for instance, that we managed to plan in the New Yorker magazine had to do with A supposed North Vietnamese effort in 1973 to develop airfields along the border of South Vietnam.
The reason we wanted to plant this information was that we were trying to persuade the U.S.
Congress that Saigon should continue to get a great deal of aid and that the North Vietnamese were the chief violators of the ceasefire accord.
That was printed.
in uh... the new yorker magazine under the byline of robert chaplain as indeed was a great deal of such information which uh... which we trying to circulate wow i'm glad the CIA doesn't do that anymore well this is the reason he quit because he didn't think it was legit and he kind of commented on that in the second clip I can confirm the way he says certain things
It's total, I mean, he's, I mean, we know he's a spook, but he has the cadence, everything.
Of real spooks, you know, like the ones that used to be in my family.
Yeah.
Well, they're still in your family.
Well, one or two.
We got a couple left.
But this, yes, he has the, and that cadence is a milieu cadence, which is specific and I've heard it elsewhere.
And I think we were probably, It's one of those that we can pick up, I think, sometimes.
Hold on a second.
I think it's... I don't know if you had it in the beginning here.
You briefed the press, did you not, when you were there?
Well, I had several jobs.
One of my jobs was that of analyst.
Now, I think at the beginning of that interview, the way he says CIA or something like that, I was like, oh man, I've heard that said exactly with that cadence.
It's in the original, not in your clips.
Okay.
Onward.
Okay, this is part two.
If I planted a piece of information with a reporter, I would ordinarily then try to create an environment in which he could not check the information.
I would go to the British ambassador and brief him on the disinformation I had just given the reporter.
So when the reporter wanted to cross-check what I told him with, say, the British ambassador, New Zealand ambassador, or what have you, He would get false confirmation, the same message coming back at him.
He'd say, aha!
I've got proof that Frank Snepp told me the truth.
When in fact, what he'd gotten was simply an echo of what I'd given him in the first place via the British ambassador or other of our friendly diplomatic contacts.
I am, as an ex-CI agent, opposed to the disinformation activities in which I was involved.
I admit that I was involved and I think it serve no useful purpose of propagandizing the American public or Congress is not the CIA's job.
No, but luckily we have a law against that called Smith-Mundt.
Yeah, and you can see since it was in play during that era how much that meant to anybody.
Zero!
I love, hold on, I love the, alright, tell the journalists one thing and then make sure that the ambassador has the same information because you know, I heard about the British, whatever it is, it's just beautiful playing both sides.
No, it's actually quite... I think that is the mission of the CIA, isn't it?
It is to manipulate the media and coerce journalists into false information reporting.
That's their job.
Isn't that their description?
So I looked into this guy because he's got a wiki page.
And Snap is named Frank Snap.
Whether that's his real name or not, we don't know because the CIA supposedly always uses different names, aliases for everybody.
But let's see, he took the name, he's originally supposed to be Frank Snap.
The third doesn't make sense, but okay.
I want to read this little part here.
C.I.A.
isn't his career information.
He was recruited into the C.I.A.
in 1968 by the Associate Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia.
Oh.
Philip Mosley.
I never thought that would be a spook outfit.
So I'm thinking, they have the guy's name, this is like, this shouldn't, I mean, how good of a job is the CIA doing when they're actually revealing something like this?
So I went over and looked at the School of International and Public Affairs Columbia.
I tried to get a look at their alumni, and I would like to read about 25 names.
Class of what?
What class of what?
No, there's no class of.
These are just alumni.
Okay.
People who have graduated from this This public affairs school within Columbia.
It's going to be a huge list of douchebags, isn't it?
Well, let's see.
Madeleine Albright, you think?
Yep.
A whole bunch of African leaders like Joseph Ada, a member of the Ghanaian Parliament, and Ibrahim Gambari, Minister of External Affairs of Nigeria.
Let's go with that.
Yeah.
David Kaye, Chief UN Weapons Inspector.
Woo!
Oh, here's one.
George Tenet.
Former director of the CIA.
William Clark, the former U.S.
ambassador to India.
A bunch of Chinese guys.
A lot of Chinese.
Bill de Blasio.
Mayor of New York.
Wait a minute.
That guy's a moron.
Tell me about it.
There's more morons to come.
Monica Crowley.
How's that one?
Eric Garcetti, the current mayor of Los Angeles.
Man, they have some real winners at the agency.
Mark Miley, the 39th chief of staff.
That guy, the big fat guy who turned on Trump.
That guy.
The prime minister of Tanzania is on this list.
Here's a good one.
Katie Stanton, head of international strategy for Twitter.
Claire Shipman, ABC News correspondent.
And here's the last one.
There's a lot of people on this list.
This one's going to floor you.
Corrine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary.
Nice.
Schooled and ready to go.
I mean, look at the quality of this school.
Unbelievable.
These are all people, I would say at this point, I think anyone that's on that list or any alumni of this school, I really can't be trusted.
It's read in one way, the other is probably compromised.
Well, they're read in.
They may or may not be trusted by the intelligence community.
And college is a great place to get some video, a little hanky-panky, a little experimentation.
I'm reminded of the story I've told on the show before, which is Gina Smith, who used to be one of the editors at PC Computing.
She's been around.
She's done a lot of work.
And Gina once told me that the CIA recruited her when she was in college, and I think this never happened to me, I should mention, they recruited her to be just a stringer for them.
In other words, she would get a job as a journalist wherever she went and just report in once in a while and they'd ask her some questions and maybe they'd have her put a story in there that they wanted to get played.
How does that recruiting meeting go?
I would like to know that because somebody must have been recruited that can maybe explain the details.
Well, Gina apparently.
Yeah, well, I don't know where she is and she never gave me the details.
She just, she was aghast.
She thought it was because she was like, you know, she's no is what she said.
But she didn't mind telling everybody within earshot that it happened.
And once she told you?
She disappeared.
No, she didn't.
Okay.
Okay.
But she's living in Hong Kong or something now, so you know, maybe?
I don't know, you never know.
Maybe they came back for more, you know, it's always possible.
You ask twice, can't hurt.
All right, so you have a rap for this?
No, that's my rap, is that Jean-Claude Van Damme, what's her name, is one of these people.
She's probably a spook.
Kareen Abdul Jean-Pierre Van Damme is her full name.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, you remember the spook recruitment video?
I have anxiety.
I'm BIPOC.
I'm in the CIA.
I love my job.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Remember that great picture they had on the front?
Guy in a wheelchair, one blind person with a stick and a dog?
Yeah, the whole thing, the whole nine yards.
Beautiful job, boys.
It was all stock photography.
Well, kind of along those lines, I mean, we have from time, we're pretty convinced that, you know, there are definitely some intelligence agency people monitoring, listening, maybe even reaching out to us from time to time.
And maybe donating once in a while, which would be great to keep us going, because we're the only ones who do this sort of work.
You really could do it more.
And we give you props when you're good.
And you must find our analysis hilarious when we're wrong.
It's worth a few pennies.
Yeah, which is probably pretty rare.
Yeah.
Come on, that'll get a big laugh from someone.
Look, you can use that credit card for hookers.
You can certainly donate to the No Agenda Show.
And I know that we have been warned by people I would suspect might be involved in intelligence about the following three clips from Douglas MacGregor.
Because we have heard in some, and I'm not accusing anybody of anything, but I've heard in some uncertain terms, well, McGregor, you know, he's on the way out, you know, he can't be trusted, he's gonna, you know, they're gonna blow the lid on him!
Well, I've also told Mike McGregor's story, which was I was stiffed by him when I just wanted to talk to him.
It was to see if I could get him to do a podcast interview.
It's Douglas McGregor, Douglas, not Mike.
Isn't it Douglas McGregor, the ex-colonel or whatever he's going around- And you said Mike McGregor!
I said Mike McGregor?
You did.
Who's Mike McGregor?
That's what- exactly what I asked you.
Okay.
So he stiffed you.
He didn't stiff on this particular interview.
No, he's gone on some dog podcast.
Somebody's telling him what to do.
And we're cut off.
That's the way I see it.
There you go.
So I don't trust this guy as far as I can throw him.
No, I thought we were gonna trust him.
I thought...
No.
All right.
Well, he has predictions.
You can trust him.
I'm not going to trust him.
I think we've reversed positions on a number of people.
Well, I'm not going to trust anybody.
I don't trust you.
But let's... Good reason.
He has some predictions on the Ukraine-Russian war, which I thought was interesting.
And it is, it's still kind of news.
Absolutely right.
That back in January and February, we were dealing with a different Russia.
And Russia was never the aggressive and dangerous power aimed at destroying NATO, by no means, under any circumstances.
And their military was enough for the defense of Russia.
And that was about it.
That's changed.
And we have affected that change.
I would also point out that Russia has a martial history and a very rich military culture.
And they have enormous industries that are now completely revved up to the maximum extent possible to produce not only weapons and munitions, But also to support a much larger military establishment.
And that's what we're seeing emerge right now.
This 300,000 man reserve mobilization is largely complete, and most of them have been integrated into formations and units that are forming up for this future offensive.
But in many areas, this mobilization quietly continues, with the result that you could see a much larger force in January and February than 700,000.
And I've tried to point that out to people.
So that would be an offensive in January, February, 700,000 troops, which is not a little bit, and I don't think NATO's prepared for it, nor does McGregor.
Russia has all that it needs in terms of high-end conventional military power to deal with us if we try to intervene, as well as with the Ukrainians.
They don't need nuclear weapons to deal with us.
The second part is that our forces on the ground in Europe are very small.
We have 100,000 troops in Europe?
Well, that comes to maybe 25,000-30,000 combat troops.
That's not very much.
The Polish military, which was larger and more robust a couple of decades ago, has actually gotten smaller, and it has very little armor, and what it has is this very large, heavy armor that we utilize, which means that it can't use any of the bridges in Ukraine that it may have to cross.
The Romanian military is not in great shape, and the Romanians are not a martial people and have no great history of military power.
So you're looking at a multinational force that may appear to be robust on paper, but really isn't.
As I have one more clip, I'm realizing that your hatred of McGregor may come from No, it may be right, actually.
He may be just out there shilling for the military-industrial complex.
That's all that I can conclude from this, is we're not ready, we don't have any people, maybe we need money.
Let's listen to the last clip.
That then takes you into our air power.
And the airpower that we have is substantial, but it's a shadow of what it was 30 years ago.
30 years ago, we had thousands of fighters.
Today, we'd be lucky to get five, six, 700 into the air over Ukraine.
And in contrast to 1990 and 91, thanks to precision guided microcircuitry that goes into all of the missiles, and thanks to the microcircuitry that allows computers and various radar arrays to compute solutions in fractions of a second, We're likely to lose a lot of that aircraft.
So we are not, at least in reality, quite what Lyle thinks we are.
In fact, I would argue that we are a shadow of our former selves militarily.
So I'm much more concerned about the possibility that we go in and we end up taking losses and that we are the ones that then fall back on the nuclear weapon.
I don't think the Russians have any need for it.
And if you look at the strikes that have been going on over the last I don't know.
It's very impressive.
I mean, obviously, the Russians have the satellite-based reconnaissance, surveillance, intelligence assets and collection assets that we do.
And in addition to that, they have the means to put our satellite arrays out of business.
I don't know.
I mean, it doesn't sound very good.
No, we need to spend more money.
But we're already spending more than everybody in the world combined, but we need to spend more, because we're weak!
We're weak!
And this is what's so interesting, because Deutsche Welle, of all...
...reports that Ukraine actually is kind of ready for some peace talks while this is going on.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says it's vital to keep pushing Russia to participate in what he calls genuine peace talks.
Earlier, an advisor to Zelensky said Ukraine was ready for talks with a Russian leader but not Vladimir Putin.
U.S.
media have also reported that the Biden administration has been encouraging Ukraine to signal openness to talks.
The Kremlin has said it's open to negotiations.
This comes as Ukraine welcomes the arrival of new air defense systems supplied by Norway, Spain and the U.S.
So that's kind of clear.
We want to negotiate peace, but not with Putin.
Yeah, that makes nothing but sense.
What is that?
It's just, it's stupid.
Yeah.
So let's listen to Ukraine.
Here's the Ukrainian, this retreat, there was a big powwow, conflagration, the Russians ran back across the bridge and blew the bridge up.
And this is the update, the current situation, Ukraine retreat update.
This is from France 24, so I could get some of the political aspects out of it.
Well, there's news just in, which is that the Russian defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, has apparently ordered Russian forces to leave the western, northwestern bank of the Dnieper River in Kherson region.
That means leaving Kherson city itself.
So that's a huge announcement, if true.
The Ukrainian reaction to the announcement from Sergei Shoigu of this withdrawal, though so far, has been cautious.
Natalia Khomenyuk, the spokeswoman for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the South, told me, the Russians always lie.
We don't like the way that they are using the statements of theirs to pollute the information space.
That was the expression she used.
We don't regard their statements as being worth anything.
We have to only observe what they actually do.
And as for what the Ukrainian forces are actually doing, she said, we are still trying to maintain an informational silence about the progress of the operation.
But, these explosions of bridges in Kherson region, it's not only the biggest one in Kherson city, several other bridges across smaller rivers and canals were blown up today, and that very much suggests that that was the Russians deciding they don't need those bridges anymore and want to make life difficult for the Ukrainians.
Hmm.
And that's about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, there isn't much else.
Other than that, I can't believe, I cannot believe Zelensky.
This guy's... Can you believe that he was the only winner of Powerball?
Come on, come on.
I flubbed it too bad.
Now, I think that something is, a change is coming.
I'm with you kind of.
I think McGregor is full of crap other than let's raise some money and, you know, maybe he's been completely sidelined.
He's not allowed to ask for it.
We're weak.
We're weak.
I have a hard, I mean, maybe, I mean, there's enough Nazi crap going on in Ukraine that Putin just might decide to do a big You know, they can surround everything and have it be over in a matter of days, but it'd be pretty ugly.
And I think the peace is the way to go, obviously.
And I think there's a pivot coming because even the new Prime Minister of the UK, Dishi Rishi, he's already pivoting from Putin.
It's a Putin pivot!
But it is also economically right too.
Climate security goes hand in hand with energy security.
Putin's abhorrent war in Ukraine and rising energy prices across the world are not a reason to go slow on climate change.
They are a reason to act faster.
Because diversifying our energy supplies by investing in renewables is precisely the way to ensure ourselves against the risks of energy dependency.
So he's already moving on to climate change and that makes sense because he was presenting this speech at COP 27 in Egypt.
It's the big climate change get-together.
Everybody goes and hangs out.
I guess this is the 27th of them.
No, I can't be right.
No, didn't it start where there was COP?
It was the year first?
I think it's every other year.
It's been for the last 56 years or something we've been doing this.
I don't know.
Do you notice something?
We used to run these clips more on climate change.
But there was, we had a series of these clips which made no sense.
It was like this part of the world is, the temperatures are rising faster!
Oh, in the Arctic, they're rising faster.
Why are they rising faster in the Arctic than every place else?
Oh, they're rising faster in the Maldives.
Oh, they're rising faster on the coasts.
Well, here's the new one.
More than 400 million people in the Middle East face potentially devastating consequences as the region heats up.
A recent study suggesting the temperatures could rise by as much as five degrees Celsius by the end of this century.
Bringing with it life-changing impacts from water scarcity to extreme heat waves.
Cathy Clifford has more.
In Iraq this summer, the mercury soared above 50 degrees Celsius.
This is a climate study found temperatures in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean are rising almost twice as fast as the rest of the world.
Experts warn the region is on course to gain five degrees by the end of the century.
In some countries, this would mean temperatures could exceed human endurance thresholds.
Yeah, I've been rising twice as fast.
That is a global phenomenon.
Why are they rising twice as fast in one spot?
I wish I could find that.
It was a supercut, I think.
Yeah, there was a supercut about it.
I think it was run in my climate change special that was posted together some time ago.
People should go back and listen to that.
It's quite good.
Well, I had a look at what's going on at COP 27.
I would like to do a report for the show before we... I think that you should.
Yeah, and I... Yes, because I think I'm pretty sure... I do believe I know what's going on.
So every single one of these cops is really... And we've followed them all since the beginning of the show.
It's really only about one thing.
How we get money!
And it's usually a bunch of quote-unquote developing and poor nations who all go there and say, give us some money!
And it always ends and no one gets any money.
Am I incorrect about any of this?
I think that is a summary that's spot on.
That's pretty much the whole deal.
So I figured out where the money is coming from, at least what they're suggesting now.
So every single year it's like we got to come up with a way and we need trillions and trillions of dollars.
How are we going to do it?
So let's set the stage with a little piece of an interview of Egypt's foreign minister and the COP 27 president.
It is being held in Egypt.
Sami Shukri?
Sami.
Sami!
And this is from CNBC.
Billions and billions of dollars.
By the way, you can hear the frustration because the journalist knows that this whole thing is about how do we get the money?
How do we get the money?
Who's going to pay?
Who's signing the check?
They want money and they want a lot of it and they've got to figure it out and it's the 27th COP.
So she wants to know as well and she sees some troubling signs at this year's COP.
Billions and billions of dollars apparently needed to help developing countries fight climate change.
But a big question of course is where are you going to get that money because governments, they're tapped out.
I asked the head of the IMF just this morning about her mind in terms of getting that money.
And she said, listen, it's got to be from the private sector.
We've got to tap into all of that investment opportunity.
The problem, of course, is that you don't have the big CEOs here this year that you've had at past COPs.
So you're talking to an audience that didn't even show up for the event.
How, in your mind, is that going to evolve?
How are they going to finally get that type of funding?
Because as we say, governments right now are facing a serious economic strike at home.
There's a recognition, of course, that this process can not only depend on governments, but on all stakeholders, whether it's governments, private sector, civil society.
There is a growing sense of the viability of investment and the return on investment when it comes to renewable energy.
The crisis related to the energy crisis is also an opportunity.
I think that many We are trying to highlight that through the initiatives we are rolling out nationally, regionally and internationally during the COP and also the projects that we are providing
And what Egypt has done specifically in the area of renewable energy, the giant solar farm in Binban, the expansion of our generation through wind, and hopefully the connectivity that can be provided and the production of green hydrogen, which is viewed as the energy of the future.
These are all areas where we know that we need trillions of dollars to meet the challenge of climate change.
The trillions are available, but we need to generate the interest, generate the technology.
But how do you do that if they're not here?
But they're not here!
The bankers aren't here!
So he gives the whole spiel.
Well, you know, we're agreeing on what?
This was from CNBC?
Yes.
Wow.
Put the bankers out of here that wouldn't hear to pay the money that you owe!
That's exactly what she was doing.
That sounds exactly like the woosher.
Wherever she was, yeah.
And he's just going like, whoa, get it over with, it's good, it's good.
He's... You might as well just fart.
So I go looking, because she mentioned something there.
I talked to the IMF.
So the IMF.
The IMF is in this somehow.
Of course they are.
International Monetary Fund.
And it didn't take me long to find an article from yesterday in the New York Times.
Poor countries need climate funding.
These plans could unlock trillions.
So whenever I hear unlock trillions and it's during COP when it's in the New York Times like they are going to tell me something and they tell me in this New York Times article that there is initiative underway which is led by Mia Motley and she's holding court at COP 27 this year in Egypt.
She is the Prime Minister of Barbados.
So why is Barbados getting attention?
First of all, She's BIPOC.
Second of all, it's a poor nation with a lot of cool financial benefits.
So there's reasons.
So I go hunting around and she has something called, um, uh, one second.
What is this called?
It's called the, No, she looks exactly like the older Angela Davis.
In fact, if somebody put Angela Davis under her name or picture, I'd say, oh yeah, Angela Davis.
She's put together something called the Bridgetown Initiative.
I'm not sure where the name comes from, but she's a real player because last week she traveled to the White House to present the plan To Vice President Kamala Harris, so she's... So, more morons will be rolling this plan out, and I have, in fact, here her agenda, which is a three-pronged based approach.
Can I ask a quick question?
Yeah, of course.
It's a British crown colony.
Yes.
Why doesn't she take her little plan and take it to Rishi Deshi or Charles III?
She's not taking it to America.
Remember, IMF.
The agenda is based around a three-pronged approach.
One, the first step is to prevent a debt crisis with emergency IMF relief and long-term concessional funding for development lent over at least 30 years to prepare for the future.
This is a hundred billion.
This is already secured and this is being doled out as a stay tuned at this year's COP 27.
So there's going to be about a hundred billion which these days we know is a rounding error.
We've given more to Zelensky.
If it's really that important for climate change.
So that money is done.
We paid for that probably.
Who else?
Money, it goes on, should be available not just following a disaster, but before a disaster.
Citing World Bank research that for every $1 spent on resilience, many lives and $7 could be saved or created in avoided costs.
So it's a magic money machine.
You see, if you put one dollar in, many lives and seven dollars could come out.
Your life apparently worth about seven bucks.
She calls for greater redistribution of special drawing rights.
There they are, John.
The SDRs.
Your favorite.
My favorite.
The IMF reserve asset issued as relief during the pandemic from wealthy nations to those that needed it most.
Last year, the IMF injected $650 billion in SDRs into the global economy to help countries recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Did you know that the IMF can create, and that is their limit, $650 billion in SDRs without congressional approval from the United States?
Well, they're not a government agency.
Why do they need congressional approval for anything?
They are creating money that includes our money in it.
Yeah?
So you're okay with them just creating 650 billion dollars?
I'm not okay with the IMF even existing.
They believe, Motley, in her plan, is that they can convince the IMF to go to the United States Congress and open the floodgates on trillions and trillions of special drawing rights SDRs.
That's their plan!
I don't know, I mean, clearly the SDRs have value because they printed up 650 billion of them for these poor countries, which I never heard about.
I'd say it got squandered because, you know, why are people still starving?
Wait, squandered?
Yes, squandered.
Let me write that down.
Squandered, I tell you!
Here's Queen Ursula being asked about these reparations, because that's what they are, At COP27.
Loss and damage compensation.
One of the main topics of COP27 this year in Egypt.
The idea?
Make big polluters pay for climate damages in developing countries.
For more, you spoke to the European Commission President in Charm, El Sheikh.
It is an important topic and I'm happy that it is an agenda item this time at COP27.
It was never before.
So now it's important to sit down and really to define and sort out what is it.
And then to look at the funding that is available.
And I'm not speaking of the 100 billion that are for climate finance.
There the European Union is also doing its fair share, more than its fair share, with 23 billion.
But I'm speaking about other funds we have to look at.
Surely the fast way to do this is a windfall tax on energy companies making record profits.
Why isn't that happening?
We've just done the legislation in the European Union to enable the member states to put a windfall tax to skim off the excessive profits.
I love how she just said, oh we just gave everybody permission to go and skim off the excessive profits of the oil and gas industry.
...in the European Union to enable the member states to put a windfall tax to skim off the excessive profits that energy producing companies have.
But are you telling other leaders that you're meeting here to do the same thing?
I don't know if she said producing or polluting.
I've heard polluting.
I think she said energy pollution.
To enable the member states to put a windfall tax, to skim off the excessive profits that energy producing companies have.
But are you telling other leaders that you're meeting here to do the same thing?
It's not me to tell them, but I can show them that it works in the European Union and that the member states take this money to support vulnerable households and vulnerable businesses.
So this is a targeted approach and that's absolutely the right thing to do.
I think this is a crisis contribution by the energy producing companies that they should give.
So, I'll have my eye on this SDR, because it is one of my favorites, and I'm going to see what happens if they actually start creating trillions of dollars, and how we can get some of it will be my next project.
That'd be great.
I'd go for that.
I would like to make good on something here with thanks to Tom Thomas, producer Tom Thomas.
From time to time, we will say to each other, Mark that clip, and let's play it in a year from now.
Well, Tom Thomas is one of those producers who writes that stuff down, and he sent me the clip.
From one year ago today, 2021, 11-11, so we are actually one day early.
This is from noagenda1398.
And let's listen to the whole thing because it deals with climate change, it deals with food and farming and everything here in the United States.
And I'll wrap it up with the latest report from the Ice Age Farmer, again showing you what the What the idea is... American farmers are having their land confiscated through the use of imminent domain, they will not be allowed to farm there going forward, in order to make room for a massive carbon capture and sequestration pipeline.
These pipelines, there are two such projects, run thousands of miles through the very heart of the Corn Belt, the nation's most productive farmland.
There are letters going out now, like the one on your screen, by the thousands, announcing to surprised farmers that we'll just be taking your land, land that you have owned and your family and worked, in some cases for generations now.
There are town hall meetings happening in counties across several states where, for example, Des Moines County Engineer Brian Carter announces, quote, I don't know for sure that there's a whole lot of say we have in this as a county.
I'm just being told it's going to happen.
Get off the farms.
Get out of the way.
Forget the food.
We're building our zero carbon future.
And it looks like massive pipelines to transport CO2 from ethanol plants Alright.
so we can bury it underground.
These announcements are particularly salient in light of the fact that even now there are warnings going out from major fertilizer CEOs saying, we're going to have a food crisis next year.
There's not going to be enough food to eat.
And indeed, this is, quote, a life or death issue.
All right.
Don't listen to me.
Don't listen to me.
Don't listen to that guy.
Now, I want you to put that clip.
Can you mark it with something?
Because I want to play it again one year from now when we're having these food shortages.
Okay.
Let's do it.
It's marked.
It's Ice Age Farmers.
Easy to remember.
But that's okay.
Because I could be wrong.
But if I'm right, I'll be ready.
So, I would say I am obviously wrong, since we do not have massive food shortages in the United States, or the, not me, but the Ice Age farmer.
I will say his carbon pipeline is true, is well underway.
I mean, the financing is secured.
Already there's companies bidding on pipeline, four and a half billion dollars just to build pieces of the pipeline.
This carbon thing that's going across the Midwest states is true.
I had no idea.
Did you hear anything about this since we talked about it?
Nope.
Nothing at all.
So that's true.
And you know what's kind of coy if you think about it?
Depending on the structure and the way this pipeline's built, yeah, you put together this pipeline, you run it wherever you're running it to, and then you swap it out when you get a bunch of Republicans in office and turn it into an oil pipeline.
It's a genius, that's why everyone's on board, no doubt.
So we don't have a food shortage, but then I realize, no, no.
No, we don't have a shoot, a shoot fortage.
Okay, there we go, everybody.
Oh, my name's Federman!
A shoot fortage!
Let me just write that down.
I got it.
I could run for senator in Pennsylvania.
So that we don't have a shoot fortage.
You know, my neighbor, I was walking Phoebe last night around 10 o'clock.
And, uh, and it's dark where we live.
And so the, uh, the neighbor comes home and I don't know it's him, but he has his pickup trucks.
Oh, it's Dilbert.
His name is Dilbert.
It's hilarious.
My neighbor's name is Dilbert.
And he's a retired ex-spook.
DHS, I think, maybe.
As is his wife.
Really nice people.
He's just a super nice guy.
And he travels.
They go there to their kids all the time.
So I haven't seen him for a while.
Hey Dilbert, how you doing?
And we're chatting, and he always sings with his church when the tree goes up at Christmas time, so he was telling me, that's been bad because we lost our pastor, he went to some other place, and our musical director, he had a stroke!
And like, you know, he's okay, but he's gotta come back to life slowly, and it's taken a real long time, and I said, you should tell him, man, he can always become senator.
And it was, even though it was gallows humor, it's still funny somehow.
The Spiderman is comedy gold.
I'm telling you, the guy's great.
So no shooed fortage.
Instead, what has happened, and this next clip from Australia accentuates it because it's happening everywhere, we don't have a food shortage, we have a nutrition shortage.
Quickly before we go, we've got about 30 seconds.
Aldi, the supermarket chain, is considering selling edible insects to help families afford protein.
This stuff drives me nuts, Esther.
It's absolutely disgusting.
I'm sure Bill Gates is over the moon because that's been the plan all along.
To get us to stop eating normal food and to eat bugs while the elite at the top eat their Wagyu beef and lobster and watch all the peasants at the bottom eat insects and rats because it will save the planet, apparently.
And if you look at what's been happening with... Was it skimflation?
Did we talk about skimflation on the last show?
Yeah, we did a little bit.
By the way, I love these Australian reporters.
They're great, aren't they?
They're so much better than our reporters.
Who would do a thing?
Well, have you tried it yet?
Yeah, these bugs are delicious.
There's only one way our news would be better.
The reintroduction of Naked News.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda!

Is it one Brahmin?
What he says is true.
Is it one Brahmin to Brahmi?
It's the Brahminis.
The Brahminis.
I don't know.
There's some word that he would know.
He would know.
All right.
But anyway, he is in Culpeper and he's be switching to sending... See, he won't be... He's not in India, obviously.
He wouldn't be giving us anything.
Right.
I would be switching to checks.
Sending checks and handwritten notes, he says.
It wouldn't be sending... It isn't.
Hey, we're not racist or anything.
No, it's not a matter of racism.
It's a fact!
He's waiting to hear me pronounce his name.
Okay.
Send another donation and I'll pronounce it absolutely correctly.
I did not go through the pronunciation guides for this.

We got some, uh, finally some good meetup reports.
Also, uh, some promo.
So, let's see.
This is the, uh, what do we have here?
I don't know.
Let's find out which one this is Knee how all y'all this is no beret at the Knoxville meetup not and here are the attendees and this is eric in the morning no agenda nation this is billy bones night of twin peaks in the morning this is sir sir seats that are here there's war on for your mind i'm just a guy no spooks allowed have some pizza don't tell your parents i think there were literally four dudes there uh so that was the weakest of the reports
and i'm gonna have to start uh when you hear these next ones i'm really gonna have to sort of start requesting people up their game but Of all the people who come to your meetup, somebody must be able to do a better job with putting together a report.
Take this one from the Netherlands as an example, who I think do a report that is, they have, the Dutch meetup group, I have to say this, That country was so traumatized, so abused by its government and law enforcement forces, that the people who went protesting got their heads beaten in, they have formed very, very, very sound bonds.
And apparently one of the few places they can actually Say what they want to say and do it where it's an environment where anything you want to say is accepted, is at their knowage in the meetup.
They've got 30, 40, 50 people coming to these things.

So it's up to me.
It's ridiculous.
That's one.
That came out of nowhere!
Or... They did it again!
That's my favorite.
Well, I couldn't understand the second one.
Ehhh... That came out of nowhere!
It's British.
That came out of nowhere.
But I could understand that one.
Yeah, this is the first one.
It's ridiculous.
I think that came out of nowhere is good.
You don't like... They did it again!
You don't like that one?
I can't hear it.
Just play it again.
They did it again.
They did it again?
Is that what he's trying to say there?
Yes.
It's inaudible.
It's interesting that that's inaudible to you.
Of course, I've heard it a couple of times, so maybe that's it.
I don't know.
Weird.
Weird.
Okay.
That came out of nowhere, so we will do... That came out of nowhere!
That one?
No.
Yeah, very clear.
Very clear.
Very cool.
Very dynamite.
Uh, did we have anything?
I mean, there's so much stuff we need to... I have one last racist clip.
Oh, you know, I was just about to say, we haven't done anything racist this show.
And this is a poor, pretty sure it's a black girl on NPR, and they gave her a script to read, and it's a good story, a very funny story about how bees like to play.
And then they slip a zinger in there, and this goes through, it's written by someone, and edited by someone, so it goes through these two layers, and then the girl has to read it, and she looks like an idiot.
See if you can figure out the gaffe in here.
Not only do bumblebees pollinate, make honey, and even count, but they also seem to like to throw a ball around.
A new study published in the scientific journal Animal Behavior found that the furry little insects like to play with toys.
This is the first time an insect, any insect, has been observed playing with an object.
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London put wooden balls near the bumblebees, giving them the option of passing them by or going out of their way to play.
And many of them, pardon the pun, made a beeline for the balls, rolling them or doing somersaults while holding them.
Researchers said that because the bees like to play, it may be proof that they're also capable of experiencing feelings.
More specifically, that they are able to have positive feelings.
The authors noted that just like other mammals, including humans of course, younger bees seem to be more playful than the older ones, who are probably like me, just trying to go about their day.
Yeah, you're right.
That's pretty weird.
Did you catch the gaffe?
No, I didn't catch the gaffe.
I think I was too busy setting up end of show.
Sorry.
Did not hear it.
What's the gap?
She says, just like other mammals.
Bees?
What?
And this is NPR?
The same people who brought you Clenched?
The Clenched election?
Yeah, Clenched.
The Clenched election.
I think that kind of says it all, everybody.
Wow.
Go back and listen.
I will.
After the show.
The audio wasn't that great.
That will do it, everybody, for this edition of The No Agendas with yours truly, Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
We have some nice end of show mixes, which I'm quite Quite pleased we got Dee's Laughs, we got a Dynamite Big Pharma mix from Neil Jones, the clip custodian.
Wait for that one.
Could have played it in the show, it's so good.
Jesse Coy Nelson, Matty J, and Tom Starkweather.
It's an all-star lineup!
I'm not sure what's next on NoAgendaStream.com, I haven't gotten...
The Deet's in, but there's always something good.
It may even be live.
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 with another deconstruction of your media.
Looking forward to it.
Until then, adios, mofos, and such.
And a hooey hooey to you!
Venn diagram on this one.
