What show has koozies?
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Sunday, November 13, 2022.
This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1503.
This is No Agenda.
Acting as your innovation hub and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region 7.
6 in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all wondering, how does Travis Kelsey get so wide open?
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning!
Uh, what sport is that?
Sorry?
What sport?
Wait, what?
How does Kelsey Ryan get so wide open?
Travis Kelsey.
Travis, Kelsey, Travis.
Yeah, Kelsey, Ryan, Ryan.
Yeah.
So I'm watching a football game this morning before the show.
Oh, football, okay.
Football, got it.
I just didn't know what we were talking about.
Football, got it.
And the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Kravis, now I'm calling him the wrong name.
Kravis Kelsey.
He's out in the middle of the field by himself to throw him the ball.
The question is he's one of the top guys in the league.
You'd think there'd be two people on him and he's standing there by himself.
What is this?
I really can't help you.
I know you can't.
And I guess the Jaguars can't either.
It's okay because in just a little bit I'll be giving you the update on the World Cup soccer from Qatar.
Yes, I can't wait!
Hey, I know one thing for sure about that soccer.
Yeah?
It's hot.
It's hot.
It's very hot.
Hey, I have a question.
Are you moonlighting on the side?
Do you have like a side hustle that you haven't told me about?
But I do.
Well, I mean, typically the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group works together, as the name implies, Curry-Dvorak.
I have a feeling that you consulted for a vaccination campaign and gave somebody a good idea without involving me.
I just want to make sure.
I mean, if you want to break up the band.
Well, I would never do that, and if I got paid, you'd get half of it.
Well, then let's listen to your excellent work.
Have you gotten your fluster yet?
Let me explain.
You need to get your flu shot, and you also need to get a COVID booster.
Good news.
It's safe and convenient to get your flu shot and booster at the same time.
Two shots, one visit.
This time of the year, it's especially important to get pulled.
So get your flooster.
It's a very good idea and a really fun word.
Questions?
Here's your healthcare provider.
Go Vax and be COVID ready.
I like your payoff line.
Go Vax and be COVID ready.
I like that.
I like that.
This is very good.
This wouldn't be me, but I have to say something.
You can't take credit.
You can't take credit for this.
Clone my talent.
And it's a fun word to say.
I mean, we really could have come up with that.
Flooster.
Flooster.
Spelled with double O, just so you know.
Flooster.
Also available.
I want to emphasize the ooster as opposed to the ooster.
Yeah, you can get your flooster on the floo's ship.
Tonight, COVID is raising its ugly head again ahead of a possible winter wave.
The Carnival cruise ship Majestic Princess is docked in Sydney, Australia, with 800 people stranded on board after testing positive for COVID.
She neglects to point out, Arnora, that everybody on board was vaccinated and floosted.
They're so relentless, these people.
They're just relentless.
They do not care.
They have the cruise ship thing too, which is another clip.
I think it's from NPR.
And they've failed to mention this simple fact.
You have to be vaccinated to get on these ships.
In Australia, a Carnival cruise ship docked in Sydney, and it has some 800 passengers on board who have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Health officials say they're isolating on the ship and getting medical treatment.
And they rated the outbreaks, officials rated the outbreak's risk level at Tier 3, indicating a high level of transmission.
This is officials ought to reassure the public that COVID precautions are in place.
There were around 4,600 people on board the Majestic Princess, which means about one in five tested positive.
The outbreak comes as COVID-19 cases are rising across Australia.
I love this.
It's like they took all the precautions.
They're vaxxed.
They're floosted.
And it didn't work.
But that's okay.
This is really good.
We're taking precautions.
This is like futuristic news, man.
Hold on.
Well, since we're here, I only have three COVID clips.
So let's just bang them out.
Bang them out.
Because, you know, obviously, this is the level of creativity that we can deliver when it comes to fluester.
But does that work for the M5M?
No.
They still have to keep it at their dumbass triple-demic.
This morning on Your Health, many medical professionals are warning of a so-called triple-demic with the flu.
Hold on.
This can't be a new clip.
Yeah.
Thank you.
This triple-demic thing came and went weeks ago.
These guys are harping on it?
Excuse me, excuse me.
Who's doing this?
Who's the editor?
So-called triple-demic, okay?
It's not the tri- it's the- now it's the so-called triple-demic.
Just pointing it out.
This morning on Your Health, many medical professionals are warning of a so-called triple-demic, with the flu, RSV, and COVID hitting all at once.
In at least six states, and here in Washington, D.C., pediatric hospital beds are 90% full, and it's not much better than the rest of the country.
So what is a parent to do with a hospital bed?
So basically they're losing money because they need to have it at $96.97, so... You know, this is funny that they would do the report with this kind of subtle lie.
It's a subtle lie!
It's a lie!
Well, the implication is a lie.
Because the feds are supposed to be full like that.
Supposed to be $98.99, really, ideally.
Yeah, exactly.
That's how they make money in hospitals.
But this is the whole point.
This is the point of the entire segment.
Okay?
It goes like this.
Um, listen, our hospital beds are only 90% full.
We need to jack that up.
What can we do?
I know!
Let's make it sound really scary, so more people go quick before it's completely full.
Okay, good idea.
It's not much better across the rest of the country.
So what is a parent to do with the holidays right around the corner?
Well, we have NBC News medical contributor Dr. Natalie Azar here to answer some of our questions.
What does the holidays have to say?
So, the hospitals are 90% full.
Well, what are you going to do around the holidays?
Dr. Azar, good morning.
First of all, just I mean the big question a lot of parents are asking how concerned should they be about this right now?
Yeah, Joe.
You know, I think the approach should really be awareness, but not panic.
Look, the vast majority of kids who get infected with RSV do just fine.
But of the two million kids who get infected every year, about 3% of those will end up needing to be hospitalized.
And I think the scary thing for any parent, myself included, is that we always talk about infants under six months.
Those with chronic conditions are at greatest risk, but any healthy child technically could get sick enough at any point to warrant hospitalization.
Yes.
You know, the thing about the hospital strain, it is a very real thing.
I was speaking to a NICU nurse last week and... What, she said the hospital strain?
I heard that too.
I was gonna stop it.
Maybe she... The hospital, yeah, this is the one that you go to the hospital and you catch this.
No, I think she means the strain on the system.
I think that's what she means.
Oh, the hospital... Which is, of course... Oh, well done, well done.
Hospital strain.
Oh, the strain on the hospital.
The hospital strain is not the same In the way you would interpret the wordage as the strain on the hospital, but okay.
The thing about the hospital strain, it is a very real thing.
I was speaking to a NICU nurse last week and one of our local hospitals, the normal bed-to-patient ratio is one-to-one, and right now there are three sick kids for every one ICU bed available.
So just, you know, again, not panic, but I want parents to be aware and I want them to stay vigilant.
Wait a minute.
Right now there are three, six kids, sick kids for every one hospital bed available, yet they're only at 90%.
That means they're over capacity.
But they're at 90%.
Makes no sense.
It's bullshit, man.
Let's see what she says next here.
Okay, this is the difference between flu.
How can you tell the difference between flu, RSV and COVID?
This is a very loaded question.
Are they all the same thing?
Dr. Azar, how do you tell the difference, if you are a parent, between the flu and COVID and RSV?
Well, that's the thing, Kristen, that's so, you know, challenging, is that the symptoms are pretty much indistinguishable.
We talk about these signs and symptoms that are associated with viral syndromes all the time.
These symptoms are almost indistinguishable.
The killer virus that we had a death count on the screen for years.
Really now?
That's interesting.
The thing, Kristen, that's so, you know, challenging is that the symptoms are pretty much indistinguishable.
We talk about these signs and symptoms that are associated with viral syndromes all the time.
We're talking about fever, chills, headache, a cough, muscle aches, and fatigue.
So how do you know if you need to call the pediatrician or just take care of your child at home?
Well, some signs and symptoms that we certainly are looking for, especially in kids who are nonverbal, that is, they can't communicate to you, is irritability.
Are they feeding poorly?
And in any child, any sort of bluish discoloration of the lips around the mouth or the nails warrants Concern and also something that we refer to as using accessory muscles to breathe.
That is you can see sort of these retractions in the neck or the chest that means they're working harder to breathe and of course wheezing and a cough that lasts 24 hours just around the clock.
Kristen, call your pediatrician.
We're no doctors, but no agenda recommends you check your child's temperature and then check your child's pronouns.
This way you will know.
Check the pronouns first, come on.
Check the pronouns, people.
So, question.
Yes.
I have to go back and review the old clips.
We did a special with the early pre-COVID real problems.
Yes.
But if I'm not mistaken, I recall them going on and on about how it was so distinctive because there was no, there was COVID cough, but there was no sneezing.
They made a big stink about this in the early days about the differences between, you know, you can tell it's COVID, not the flu.
You could get COVID cough, which was that funny cough.
Yeah.
And it was weird sounding.
But there was no sneezing.
Remember the no sneezing thing?
Ah, you don't worry about sneezing, there's no sneezing.
No, I don't.
Well, I remember.
Yeah, no, I'm sure, but I was just looking, I couldn't find anything.
It's probably labeled something else, John.
Oddly enough.
Yeah, I know about the clips.
All right, so as we wrap this up, of course, we were promised in the tease, what about the holidays?
Dr. Azar, Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away, so should families think twice about getting together for these big gatherings?
And if they do decide to move forward with those plans, what are precautions you can take?
Yeah, you know, Joe, it's hard.
This is our third COVID holiday.
You know, you almost can lose track.
I think the best and safest approach for everyone is to plan your holidays around the most vulnerable person in your household.
Keeping that in mind, things that you can do to stay safe.
Of course, you want to wrap a test for COVID before a gathering.
Make sure everyone who is eligible in your household is up to date on their flu shots and their COVID boosters.
Why didn't they recommend I mean, if you... So the question previously was, how can you tell if it's COVID, if it's RSV, or if it's flu?
It's like, oh, it's hard, they're indistinguishable.
Why, I mean, you could at least rule out one with your so-called COVID test, could you not?
But you'd rule out two.
Because there's a flu test as well.
No, no, I'm saying with the COVID test, you rule out COVID.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yeah, you only rule out one, but then you still have RSV or... Where's this flu test, by the way?
I've never seen one.
...gathering.
Make sure everyone who is eligible in your household is up to date on their flu shots and their COVID boosters.
And if you can... Boosters.
Still works.
Hold your event outside.
If you're inside, make sure it's well ventilated.
Just precautions that we've been kind of drilling down for the last couple of years, but will still hold true for this holiday season, Joe and Kristen.
Merry Christmas!
Grinch.
Throw snowballs at her.
Are these people insane?
And by the way, what is the phrase, you better think twice?
That's from Santa Claus is coming to town.
So what are you thinking?
Once you think once and then you say you're done.
You're done.
You got your thought out of the way.
You think, well, maybe we'll see Grandma.
No, no, no.
Start over.
Think again.
Think twice.
You didn't think right.
Think twice.
You know, we have to look that up.
There's entomology, I'm sure, because it's in songs.
It's in all kinds of stuff.
You better think twice.
Oh, I lied.
I do have one final clip, and this is a good one, this one somewhat viral.
It's Dr. Mike Yadin.
You remember him?
He used to work at Pfizer, and he came out pretty early on, maybe after six months or so, and said, hey, this is not okay, what's going on here?
And he was talking specifically about the vaccines.
And he has a new rap!
Now again, this was a very mellow guy.
When did we first hear from him?
Let me see.
I mean, he wasn't... He came out against... What was this date?
Hold on a second.
That was... So that's June of 21.
And he also was talking about the bullcrap variants and all this stuff, so we kind of liked him.
Well, here he is now.
It said the clip literally says bullcrap variants.
I'm thinking it's yours.
It's one of mine, yeah.
So here he is.
Taking it to its logical conclusion.
The clinical trials were fraudulent.
The report case is ongoing right now.
The manufacturing was fraudulent.
They didn't do the production R&D required.
It would take at least two years to do that.
That means the regulatory authorizations were fraudulent.
So FDA and CDC, the European Medicines Agency, the MHRA in Britain, they've all behaved fraudulently pretty much by closing their eyes and just rubber stamping it.
So they've not been tested.
They're not safe.
They don't work.
They could never have worked in the elderly, and yet they are toxic.
talked at length, and I won't bore you with it again, that the very design of them could not have been more dangerous.
They picked the only part of this purported pathogen, the spike protein, to express in your bodies.
Your bodies are turned into a spike protein factory, and spike proteins are definitely acutely toxic in loads of different ways, or Autoimmunity, blood clots, neurological problems, impacts on fertility and so on.
So I've told you that they've created the impression of a scare, they've smashed the economy and civil society using useless measures, they've got you to wait for a rushed so-called vaccine that was not shown to be effective or safe, that never could have worked even if the original setup about a viral threat was correct, and yet they've jabbed, I don't know, four billion, six billion poor souls.
Something like one in a thousand people have died.
We don't know how many more will die, but we're into double figures of millions who've definitely been killed as a consequence of this policy, and that tells you the people who are doing this are ruthless, I'd say diabolical.
We're beyond good and wrong and right, okay?
We're in the good versus evil.
I've not been a religious person, but I'm absolutely clear in my mind the only people, the kind of planning and thinking it takes to have done what has happened, are people who would worship Satan.
They're not normal people.
I couldn't do one part of this and continue to be alive after I've done it.
I love that!
Well, this guy's really to the point.
These can only be people who work with Satan.
Nice!
There you go.
He should talk to Naomi Wolf.
That was her conclusion as well.
Yeah.
Yeah, well.
Cuts to it, though.
And then the final thing which is a chart we like to or a report we like to look at annually here on the No Agenda Show.
And we've always been able to guess the clear winner because it's always kind of been the same.
This is the annual study.
Let me see what the official title is.
Europe's mental health.
Which country uses the most antidepressants in Europe?
Now, do you remember which country usually wins this contest?
Well, traditionally it's been Denmark.
Yes, yes.
And the reason why we believe is because it goes hand in hand with being the most liberal, free, loving, socialist country.
Happiest.
Happiest, that's what it is.
Happiest country in the world.
They also turned out to be the most drugged, which was kind of cool.
Right.
You'd be happy too.
Which was kind of cool.
So, with the lockdowns, and we have some knowledge, for instance, some countries didn't lock down at all, others locked down quite severely.
They may all have different pharmaceutical networks running or different local laws, but it is the European Union, so eventually this all needs to harmonize.
But let's find out which countries are, let me see, we can do the top.
1, 2, let me see, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Man, we just have to do all 15 because all of them are interesting for different reasons.
So we'll go from lowest number to most, to highest consumption of antidepressant drugs.
And taking into account that lockdowns of course affected people.
So at the bottom we have Estonia.
Now Estonia, what is this?
Define daily dose.
Yeah, Estonia... Now they went from a six... Let me see what this... Define daily dose.
Okay, from six it must be thousand.
Must be thousand.
Well, it says six, but I think it's six thousand.
So we'll just say six.
So they're the lowest in so far as consumption.
Well, yes, but they in 2020, they were at six in, uh, uh, no, in 20, here we go.
2022, 37.
There you go.
Slovakia is next.
Then.
Wait, they went from six to 37?
Yes.
Oh yeah.
This is amazing.
We don't care about the exact what this, what these numbers represent, but.
In relative terms we can understand that.
By the way, the OECD delivers this and it's antidepressants consumption daily defined dose per 1,000 people per day.
There you go.
So we'll do it in one per thousand.
So we have the number.
Slovakia was 9, is now 48.
Chechnya was 10, is now 66.
Hungary was 14, now 30.
Hungary was 14, now 30.
Greece was 19, now 66.
Germany was 21, now a whopping 62, but they're not even in the top 10.
Spain is next from 28 to 87.
The Netherlands, very impressive, the Netherlands at number 11 with 31 to 47, very slight increase.
I'm still kind of fascinated by how Hungary went up, but they're still low comparatively.
Well, they were probably the truly freest of all during COVID in the EU, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, I would think so.
I'm condemned for it, by the way.
Nazi!
I would say that they were freer than Sweden.
Sweden got the rap, but it was Hungary who was really, like, refusing everything.
Yeah, they weren't good, they weren't playing along.
So Greece went from 9th, oh wait, the Netherlands, there it is, 3147.
So they're kind of, they're like, the Netherlands did okay, but of course they have all their own drugs.
Maybe MDMA helps.
Just a thought, people.
Then Portugal.
Portugal coming in at number 10.
Don't take MDMA, anybody.
Continue, please.
It's horrible.
Thank you for correcting me.
Went from 32 to 131.
Now what country again?
Portugal.
Holy moly.
Now they locked down hard if I recall.
I don't remember them locking down hard.
I don't remember anything about any discussion of Portugal.
But something happened.
Then the upset.
At number 9.
Yeah, number 9.
Denmark drops out of the top spot.
In fact, they're behind Finland!
And Luxembourg!
And the U.K.!
U.K.
comes in at, uh, one, two, three, four, number six.
Went from 38 to 108.
Belgium!
Now we see, now we see all those, all those nutjobs.
All those nutjobs in the kingdom, yes.
They're at number five, France at number four.
And now, check out the- Give us some numbers here.
Oh, okay.
So the UK 38 to 108, Belgium 39 to 84, then France 40 to 55.
It's not bad, compared to England.
Yes, the increases, yes.
Now Norway is number three.
They only go from 41 to 59, but still.
And then I think this is the upset, number two.
Vying for a top spot next year from 45 to 105 is Sweden.
Now, I think they're all drugged up in Sweden, not because of COVID.
Because of the immigrant crisis.
I think people are so... Oh, that's an interesting interpretation.
So out of it.
Yeah.
That would explain a lot of their reactions to, oh yes, my daughter got raped.
Oh yeah, that's alright man.
Yeah, I was an immigrant.
Yeah, so what?
We have to welcome these people.
Wait, there's another bomb explosion?
Was that two today or three?
I can't remember.
Hey man, I'm not anxious about anything.
Oh goodness.
And then number one, the top spot, surprise!
Coming out of nowhere!
From 71 to 153, a whopping... 153?
Doubling!
Double increase!
Is Iceland!
Wow!
And I'm thinking maybe it's because Iceland finally got a CVS or something?
I don't know what happened in Iceland.
Why did everybody go all nuts in Iceland?
Something happened there.
Well, now we have to find it.
We must have a couple of Icelanders that listen to the show.
They, you know, make it as English as possible.
Hi, I'm from Iceland.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm real happy.
What the what?
Well, that number is shocking and so is the one in England being like right up there.
Well, England, I mean, these people are desperate.
Have you been following the renting crisis there?
No.
Oh, well, so England traditionally had like the property ladder and, you know, it was families and so, you know, someone at the front of the line, they'd buy a new house and then everyone moves up one house.
This was a very traditional thing in the UK.
Yeah, it can't be done.
Yeah, it was working up until the time that even I was living there.
And that system really completely broke because people are really homeowners.
And, you know, so there's a lot of people in the interest rates, you know, they could lock it in for 1% mortgage interest rate.
They could deduct the mortgage of a second property for the interest rate or the interest for the mortgage of a second property if they use it for rental.
That went away just before COVID coincidentally.
And of course, interest rates have now doubled or tripled.
And so now, you know, it's either, uh, raise the rents everywhere or, uh, or sell.
And I mean, the whole thing is a mess and, and, and the, and the rents are going up, you know, substantially.
So, you know, no wonder it's like, what do you do?
Pop a pill.
I'm good now.
That is how you solve problems in today's world.
You and I, not so much like that.
Yeah, I don't like the idea.
I'd rather be a nervous wreck.
But you know, we've heard all the young people, everyone, what is the... I mean, young adults, 30-year-olds, what is their number one complaint?
Anxiety.
I have the anxiety report from NPR.
This is the current up-to-date one from yesterday.
Some of us have good coping mechanisms in place for stress, exercise, time with family, time away from family.
But the stress and anxiety that accumulates over a few days or weeks can be utterly debilitating for some people.
Seven million Americans suffer from generalized anxiety disorder.
That's according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
But less than half seek treatment.
Dr. Elizabeth Hogan is director of Georgetown University's Anxiety Disorders Research Program.
Here's how she describes the condition.
A disorder characterized by frequent and intense worry that makes it hard for people to concentrate, hurts their sleep, makes them irritable, and those symptoms are so bad that it interferes with their ability to get things done.
Many suffering from anxiety are prescribed antidepressant medications like Lexapro.
Dr. Hoagie did this study to try and find out if patients could get the same relief through meditation.
She and her team compared patients taking Lexapro to those who underwent an 8-week meditation program.
It was called Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction.
Wow, they're really highlighting Lexapro, huh?
Now, hold on.
Somebody didn't pay the bill because this thing continues.
I didn't get to all these clips because it went on for 10 minutes.
Showing that meditation works better than Lexapril.
Ugh, pro.
Yeah, they went on and on and on and they discussed it with all kinds of different people.
Yeah, it's so much better and you don't have to take the drugs.
They slammed the drug!
I know, you wouldn't have expected it, but it seems to me that, from our perspective, yours and mine personally, it was somebody didn't pony up.
You know, the millennial, or one of the millennials is visiting?
Wait, if she's 25, is that a zoomer or a millennial?
No, no, she's a... Oh, no, she's a... Yeah, she's a zoomer.
I think she's a zoomer.
I believe.
I can look it up, but I think so.
So, we were talking about drugs.
And I said, man, Kamala, she's baked.
She went, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So what do you mean, no, no, no?
No, no, no.
Benzos.
He said, Ativan, she says, is the CBD of benzos.
And she and her friends in New York are pretty convinced that that's what the vice president is taking.
I don't know the effect of them, but they say, oh, no, that's a total Ativan high.
Just something to put in your cap.
I I mean, I consider it, uh, you know, boots on the ground report.
I consider it a distinct possibility.
I mean, the being stoned is funnier.
I agree.
I agree.
Much funnier.
Because she's like, put so many people in jail for marijuana use, but she could be strung out on anything.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But if there's a giggle that comes out of the... Do you think anyone still uses the term strung out, man?
I think so.
Yeah?
I think the term's still valid.
I don't think you can throw the boomer at me with that one.
I did not.
I would not.
That would be very mean.
You did the other day.
Well, you probably deserved it.
Well, maybe.
It's beside the point.
Don't lie!
Hey, I think... Go ahead.
I think strung out is a good word, or a phrase.
It has visual implications.
I mean, you know, you're hanging on to a rope.
I mean, there's a lot of reasons that's a good term, so I'm gonna stick with it.
No, I'm with it.
She could be strung out on anything, it seems to me.
Yeah?
But if that specific product makes you giggle like that with a cackle.
Then let's try some.
I agree.
I'm not going to try any, but I would say that would definitely be the possibility.
Hey, say that again.
She could be strung out on anything.
Let me try it.
Let me try it.
She can be strung out on anything.
Can you dig it?
Very funny.
I gotta give it to the Troll Room on that one.
Oh, the Troll Room, they're giving you... Again, you have writers.
You have writers.
I have no writers.
You do so well without writers.
I mean, all things considered, your performance.
If you had some writers... Oh, who knows?
I'd be out of control.
I'd be doing stand-up tomorrow.
Speaking of...
Wow!
Dave Chappelle's monologue last night on Saturday Night Live, that man is hands down, I think, the best stand-up comedian that I've ever seen in my life, including ones that I've only seen on video because they're dead.
He did such an outstanding 15-minute piece on Jews in Hollywood.
It was.
Oh my god.
It was.
I didn't see it so I have to go back now.
Oh my god.
I mean... I was thinking about... Well, you know what?
I'll just... Every single bit of it is good.
I'll just play the beginning so you get the flavor for it.
Why don't you play the whole thing?
Let's go.
It's 15 minutes!
It's a news analysis show.
We gotta analyze this thing.
Alright, alright.
All right, here we go.
There he is, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr.
Mr. Fat-Ass Black America!
Woo-hoo!
Oh, I could have cut this off if I had known, but all right, there you go.
Come on.
Come on, Dave.
Thank you.
Thank you very much for being here.
Before I start tonight, I just wanted to read a brief statement that I prepared.
I denounce anti-semitism in all its forms.
And I stand with my friends in the Jewish community.
And that, Kanye, is how you buy yourself some time.
I mean, it started out like that.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, it's too hard to hear.
Oh, really?
Okay.
So, he just went, he was so dynamite.
You'll have to watch it.
I think it's one of the best performances.
Just imagine, he is going to go up there, considering who he is.
And talk about the tension between black America, Jewish America, you know, the, even the words, the and Jews.
I mean, it was just unbelievable.
Really, really.
I'm sure it was excellent.
I wonder if you have to kind of discount the fact that he's a Muslim.
Did not come up.
No, he wouldn't bring it up.
He only brought it up once or twice in his, that I've ever seen.
What does that have?
Does that mean anything?
There's an element of... Oh, I see what you're saying.
To be honest about it, it has to be considered.
Can't we all just get along, people?
No one's getting along with anybody, let's face it.
Yeah, I'll check it out.
He's the best.
I mean, I've seen a lot of stand-up and And he's up there, but until you see, unfortunately he's dead now, until you see somebody like Jackie Mason in person doing stand-up.
Yeah, that I haven't seen.
It's like you haven't seen anything because this guy, unbelievable.
So you know how if you get a 10-speed bike, just as an example, and then you see 10-speed bikes everywhere?
You know, just like one of those things.
You get a new car, you see that exact same car, same color everywhere.
That's just kind of how observation skills work.
So the media works similarly.
You know, when there's one story about anti-Semitism, there's gotta be more.
KFC has apologized for linking a sales promotion in Germany to the commemoration of Kristallnacht, the deadly raids on Jewish homes and businesses in Nazi Germany.
A message in the KFC app urged German customers to mark the day with chicken and cheese.
The company says it was generated by an automated system and was sent by mistake.
Oh, brother.
You know what's bad about these?
Is that, that end.
Yeah, automated.
It was automated.
AI.
AI did it.
This is the reason AI is going to be popular.
Not because it does anything, but you can blame it.
And it makes Twitter great.
You can blame it.
You're right.
I'm sorry we had an AIG.
That's an A.I.
glitch.
A.I.
glitch?
A.I.
glitch.
The A.I.
The A.I.
You know, the problem with A.I.
is it's just a little too much.
Listen, I'm sorry I'm late.
My A.I.
glitched.
What can I tell you?
Yeah, good point.
Good point.
A.I.
is great.
A.I.
will indeed cover up the fallacy of humanity.
So now, this, this was pretty cool.
You know, the Anti-Defamation League is obviously all over Kanye, all over Kyrie, all over everybody.
Kyrie, the flat earth guy.
I'll give you this punchline from Chappelle.
He said, Kanye got in so much trouble, Kyrie got in trouble.
So the Anti-Defamation League is you know out there and of course you know there's it's always interesting how people want to send money to the Anti-Defamation League as if it washes you of your sins and this is kind of what came up on this guy's visit to CNBC.
Which I thought was an interesting venue.
I have a question for you, and this is gonna be a hard one.
I'm Jewish.
Yeah.
I hate antisemitism.
I hate everything that's going on here.
Yeah.
Hate it.
And I love when you're out there talking about these things.
Yeah.
But what I don't like, I'll be honest with you, I think there are people who look at what you're doing.
Yeah.
Where you criticize and you say, I'm gonna hammer you.
Yeah.
I'm gonna hammer you, hammer you, hammer you, until you give me money.
That's what people think.
I'm just- I'm just- I'm just- I hear you.
They look and they say, you go after Adidas, and you keep going after Adidas, not until they shut up, or until they do what you want, until they actually start contributing to ADL.
What do you say to those people?
It's totally wrong.
I wish more of the people I criticize donated to us.
The reality is it's my job to cast a light on antisemitism in all forms of hate.
What I'm encouraged is when some companies or some individuals say we're not only going to apologize, we actually want to engage and solve this problem.
I just think it's not just a Jewish concept of chuvah or the Christian ethos, you know, of loving thy neighbor.
No, please.
It's all of our ethos to try to work together to make society better.
But look, man, if everybody who committed anti-Semitism came around and supported ADL, I would be a much, much wealthier.
The organization would be much richer.
We'd all be much better off.
Why would he be wealthier?
Exactly!
Does the money go right into his pocket?
Exactly!
Did you hear the truth come out once again?
Look, man, if everybody who committed anti-Semitism came around and supported ADL, I would be a much, much wealthier.
The organization would be much richer.
We'd all be much better off.
Yeah.
In fact, whoever that interviewer was, that is the scam.
That's what the Rainbow Coalition does.
That's what Al Sharpton does.
They threaten these companies.
They go from here to there.
And they say, we're going to point you out as a bunch of racists.
And so you better, oh, you're going to contribute to us?
That's good.
OK, well, I think that would be good for now.
This is a Comments Pressure Group tactic.
It's not unusual.
The JDL does it.
The Southern Poverty Law Center does it.
Nowadays, the Civil Rights Operation.
The ACLU does it.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
How can we get on this train?
We could.
And who can we call out?
I know.
Nobody.
I know.
I know the formula.
I mean, it's easy enough to set up.
First, you gotta, it takes a while.
I mean, you just can't do it overnight, but you set up a pressure group.
Long game.
Long game exit strategy.
And you have to make sure that you can do, you can do, you can, You get pickets, you get people that can picket.
You have to have an in to the news organization so you can get the stuff written up so they always cover it.
If it doesn't get covered, it's not going to work.
The formula is out there for anyone to use it and I've seen it used here and there and I think this guy, to point it out as a possibility, I think was valid and I think it was noble.
Yeah, and that's Andrew Ross Sorkin, believe it or not.
Interesting that he would do that, in a funny kind of way for this Greenblatt.
That actually, I'm actually, I've never been a huge fan of Sorkin.
Me neither, but that was, he was spot on with that.
And he is kind of a conniver, but the reason, now I think about it, he knows how this works because he probably wants to do it too.
How can I get out of this action?
This is hot.
It's a hot ticket, baby.
What can we do?
Yeah, and in a way... Anyone can do it, but it's really, you have to be dedicated to being an asshole.
Who would you say is the numero uno as a pressure group when it comes to individuals who get wealthy, as this guy says that he would be?
I think the one guy who does the best job right now because he even has his own show is... Al.
Al.
Al.
Yeah.
And in a way, I think what Greenblatt was saying was couched racism by saying, oh man, if I was Al...
It's much harder for the ADL than, I mean, I think, don't you think that racism is more profitable as a pressure group?
Oh, it's a winner, I think.
Well, they're trying everything, the M5M not to be underplayed.
Al's like, hey!
Hey!
Hey!
What is this?
Who's on our turf?
Obama, help us out!
Today in Chicago, an ugly racist symbol was found at the future site of the Obama Presidential Center.
A noose was discovered at the construction site this morning.
Operations were halted and the police were called.
A $100,000 reward has been offered for information leading to those responsible for what officials described as this shameless act of cowardice and hate.
They're really pulling the noose out again.
And a $100,000 reward?
What is this, John?
This is bold.
The $100,000 reward is, I think Tucker did the best takedown of this because when else would you, why would you not have a $100,000 reward for a bunch of murderers?
There's all kinds of things that went on.
He went on and on.
He did a pretty good bit.
But yes, we have a $100,000 reward to find out who put a noose, supposedly, and by the way, they never showed us the noose if you saw the TV presentation.
No, I've not seen a noose.
No.
The noose was in a bag.
They bagged it.
They bagged the noose.
So they'd show him a picture of the camera to be on a bag.
A bag with a noose inside.
Wait a minute.
That sounds like FTX.
Don't worry, there's money in this box.
Really?
They said this is the noose and they showed the bag because the noose was too offensive to show?
The noose was too offensive to show.
It was hanging off the thing and they bagged it with a paper, one of these like a, one of those, I'm sorry, plastic bag around the noose so you didn't get to see the noose, heaven forbid.
Wow.
It would be upsetting and triggering if you saw the noose.
So they kept showing pictures of the bag and I said, I want to see the noose.
What kind of a news was it?
I mean, it could have been anything.
Who knows?
I mean, it's not the same, but that's kind of level like, man, we can't show you the photos of Osama bin Laden.
We dumped him in the ocean.
We can't show you the body cams of the Pelosi raid, which the story's changed again.
Oh, oh, what's the latest?
Well, the latest is there was a third person that opened the door, and when the cops looked in, that's when Pelosi and the bad actor guy were both holding on to each other with the one hammer in between, and they're fighting for the hammer.
And who was the third person?
They don't know.
Nobody knows.
Huh?
Yeah.
Hey, man.
Which goes back to the original story.
Do you ever get the feeling that the media is lying to us?
I don't know that they know they're lying to us.
I think a lot of times it's just the best part.
Well, I think that there was a massive persuasion game played in this midterms and it didn't hit me until Trump started calling out Yunkin and I started to do some research and I think there's something going on here that is poorly understood and probably not discussed at all in the proper manner.
I have one clip about what you're talking about.
Okay.
And this is from that podcaster.
We'd love to find podcasters who give us material.
Chuck Todd?
This steals so much from us.
It's called Rant on Lindsey Graham.
Listen to this.
Tweeted the other day, Lindsey Graham's federal abortion ban stunt should have him thrown out of the party.
He is a saboteur.
And this is a brilliant point.
You had the Supreme Court rule against Roe vs. Wade.
That threw the abortion laws back to the states, right?
Kicked it back to the states.
Every state now decides their own abortion laws.
That's federalism, guys.
That's the way this country is supposed to run.
Democrats didn't like it.
They threw a fit.
They basically said, you know, Republicans are going to try to take away your abortion rights and all this kind of stuff.
When the Supreme Court makes a ruling like that on something that's so critical to Democrats, and it fires them up, and they want to go out and vote because of it, what do you do?
Politically minded, what do you do?
You cool them down.
You calm the situation.
For Lindsey Graham to present a bill, a national abortion ban, you are poking the beehive.
You are riling up the Democrat base.
You are infuriating feminists.
Of course they're going to go out and vote in force against you when you present a bill like that.
Lindsey Graham knew this, and he presented this bill anyway.
The Democrats control the House.
The Democrats control the Senate.
The Democrats control the executive branch.
It wasn't going to pass in the House.
It wasn't going to pass in the Senate.
And even if it had, it would have been vetoed by Joe Biden.
There is no reason to present a bill at this time.
It was pointless.
Lindsey Graham is not a novice politician.
It's not like he doesn't know what he's doing.
It's not like he doesn't know what presenting such a bill is going to do.
Lindsey Graham sabotaged the midterm elections.
Yeah, he is definitely one part of it.
Lindsey Graham is... And, I would say this before, because I'm going to let you go.
Mr. Reagan also pointed out how the Republicans, and I pointed this out last show about the head of the RNC, how they doled out the money.
Yep.
The people that could have gotten one, including Laxalt in Nevada.
And the guy in Arizona.
He got like $110,000 or something, like nothing.
They gave him nothing, no help whatsoever.
Lauren Boebert, no help.
Bobert got nothing.
All these people that they, you know, they didn't want in.
They don't want the Republican Party to change.
They would rather keep it as an old boys network.
I, as my interpretation of this, and thinking about Lindsey Graham in particular, These are the Republicans, these old-line Republicans who are tight with the military-industrial complex and the Ukraine war.
They don't want Republicans screwing up the money train that's going on with this war in Ukraine and all of that.
Billions of dollars that are flying around like crazy to their buddies and everybody in between.
They're on board with this war and that's the problem and they saw that there's a bunch of talk.
If you remember before the election, there was a lot of talk by some Republicans about cutting off the funds for this stupid war and that was that.
Okay, you guys aren't getting in.
Forget it.
Yeah, this is all part of what I think was a very well thought out plan, which actually goes back two years.
Not two years, but goes back a while.
We'll get to that.
The.
So, yes.
What?
OK, let me play this because then I can get my head around.
This is very short.
This is just kind of what happened after the midterms.
Meanwhile, former President Trump is ramping up his criticism of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, his potential 2024 primary rival.
Trump calling DeSantis an average governor with great PR, claiming DeSantis came to him in desperate shape back in 2017 with low approval, bad polls and no money.
Trump adding he fixed DeSantis' campaign, which had completely fallen apart.
Sources close to former President Trump called his attacks on DeSantis a miscalculation and described Trump as, quote, unhinged in the wake of Tuesday night's election results.
Unhinged is back!
Nice to hear that.
So there's one group I think more powerful than the military-industrial complex, or completely aligned with the military-industrial complex, but who actually can, on their behalf, make things happen, and that is Wall Street.
And so we need to start with Trump being mad at DeSantis.
DeSantis, who was very cagey and said, and who should have said, I'm going to be the governor and I look forward to supporting President Trump.
Of course, he didn't say that.
He kept it in the middle, didn't answer the question.
And then we find out that he's talking about Florida being a citadel where the woke goes to die.
The woke goes to die.
Remember that phrase?
That was the main thing.
The woke goes to die in Florida.
So it is billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel who financed with 200 million dollars DeSantis' campaign and even just looking at Politico, this is from the 6th of November, GOP mega-donor, I'm ready to back DeSantis for president in 24.
Billionaire CEO Ken Griffin is a bit tired of Donald Trump for a litany of reasons.
I think it's time to move on to the next generation.
So Trump, of course, is very aware of this and understands that there is now a movement to support this kind of candidate.
And when I say this kind of candidate, to me it is a candidate who will basically follow the Wall Street narrative, make sure all the right things are funded, correct.
Corporate America wants woke removed.
They want it removed.
They hate it.
They're tired of it.
And everything else, they just want to go back to normal.
And now I understand why Trump was calling out Youngkin, not because he's sound... Let me see, is it in this clip?
I think it's in this bit.
Several sources tell CBS News that former President Trump plans to announce a third bid for the White House on Tuesday from his Florida home at Mar-a-Lago.
We get more now from CBS's Major Garrett.
Ahead of Tuesday's announcement, sources say former President Trump is increasingly bitter at potential rivals and infuriated at being blamed for GOP midterm failures.
He has attacked both Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a new favorite among wealthy Republican Party donors, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a fresher and less Trumpian rising star.
I'm just going to stop it right there.
DeSantis, an average governor who lacks loyalty and class for refusing to rule out a 2020...
I'm just going to stop it right there.
So, again, here's how they describe Youngkin.
Both Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a new favorite among wealthy Republican Party donors, and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, a fresher and less Trumpian rising star.
So this rising star, where does Youngkin come from...
It's not about that, you know, somehow he's related to China.
It's about the fact that he was the CEO of the Carlyle Group, another huge Wall Street connected firm.
And this guy, what did he do?
He came into Virginia and he said, Gone is the woke.
Did he change anything else substantially?
No.
And you know what?
I think there is a large contingent, as you point out, just like the leadership of the Republican Party, who want to go back to the old way of business.
And they're now actively seeking out, with Youngkin as an example, Uh, leaders who can win, who can play it straight, and, man, you gotta admit that, uh, without a doubt, uh, our boy DeSantos there in Florida, I mean, he's a shining star.
Now let's continue with the CBS Report.
Trump called DeSantis an average governor who lacks loyalty and class for refusing to rule out a 2024 run.
Mike Pompeo, Trump's former Secretary of State and potential 2024 rival, took aim, saying, conservatives are elected when we deliver, not when we just rail on social media.
As for Youngkin, Trump today launched a racist attack against him, misspelling his name and asking, quote, sounds Chinese, doesn't it?
Privately, top Republicans told CBS they were appalled at the post and saw it as evidence of Trump's deepening anger and isolation.
Youngkin did his best to ignore it.
I do not call people names.
That's not the way I roll and not the way I behave.
Several GOP voices muffled before the midterm verdicts.
Even right there, he's saying, that's not the way I roll.
I'm so hip.
That's not the way I behave.
I just get rid of the woke and I behave and I'm obedient to the party and Wall Street.
Youngkin did his best to ignore it.
I do not call people names.
That's not the way I roll and not the way I behave.
Several GOP voices muffled before the midterm verdicts now describe Trump as a distracting, fading party figure.
His influence wanes, and a debacle like we had across the country Tuesday night from a Republican point of view accelerates the pace at which that influence wanes.
They point to his preferred candidates in Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Michigan all losing, and concern that other Trump endorsees in Arizona and Nevada could lose Senate races currently too early to call.
This is a time that Donald Trump is no doubt in the rearview mirror, and it's time to move on with the party.
Longtime GOP critics said this Trump reckoning was inevitable.
Talk about Donald Trump these days as the biggest loser.
As a party, we need to be clear that we would not be, we should not be embracing him even if he were a winner.
I think if Donald Trump becomes the nominee of the Republican Party, the party will shatter.
Ha!
So, it wasn't just the billionaires.
No, they actually own what I would say is the new conservative media network with very well-known influencers.
Now, let's remember who's behind Ben Shapiro, who's behind Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA.
That is the Wilk family.
That's the billionaire Jews for Jesus.
And we always remember that Shapiro was super anti-Trump.
He was a never-Trumper in the early days and only reluctantly ate crow.
So, but they're now, here's a list of the following people.
Starting in January of this year have been anti-Trump from the influencer crowd.
Now that includes Fox News' Lisa Booth.
Her reason for this, I think she has a personal reason besides that she works for Fox, is that she was staunchly anti-vax.
So then we have Turning Point USA, also Newsweek Opinion Editor Josh Hammond, a hammer.
He is also in on this cabal.
And how about The Blaze, John?
We always know that The Blaze is pretty much a corporate outfit.
Well, The Rubin Report's Dave Rubin.
Carol Markowitz.
You'll see her as a turncoat.
She's from the New York Post and Fox News.
And I say turncoat from Trump's perspective.
I don't care.
I think it's beautiful to see this happening.
It's hilarious.
And then, of course, Shapiro and Candace Owens.
Now she's with Frager.
Also financed by, I believe, the Jews for Jesus.
So they've got all that set up.
Now, in your mind, go back.
We had this abortion issue.
This was going to be it.
The Dems were going to win.
Everyone was like, this is great, we got them.
People, even Republican women, they're coming over, they're one-issue voters.
And then we woke up one day a few weeks ago, and it was red wave, red wave.
Do you remember a reason for the red wave?
Do you remember any pushback?
Yeah, I remember the reason for the red waves, because people were sick of the Biden policies which meant high gasoline prices and high inflation, and crime.
I'm talking about the mainstream media, the M5M, who were pushing abortion, abortion, abortion, abortion, and then all of a sudden, even CNN, MSNBC, they all switched to red wave?
And then, and now this is speculative at best, but I think some of these delays in counting the votes...
Which ultimately show, I guess it looks like, you know, so take into account no money from the Republican Party to key states where these elections were taking part.
Then they have, I think the elections in Arizona may even be managed by Republicans, I'm not sure, but this delay of votes in all these key places, I think this was a set of... No, the governor there is a Democrat.
I'm just telling you, Steve Bannon recruited a lot of people to do a lot of things in local elections.
So we don't exactly know what the delay is.
Wait, you're not saying it, but what you're trying to say is that maybe the Republicans rigged the vote against themselves.
Not rig the vote, they rigged the slowdown.
Because what they wanted to do in their grand scheme is to push Trump's nose into the ground.
Remember they said, oh don't announce man, don't announce.
Don't announce, it might ruin the vote.
And he didn't announce!
And then, boom!
Now, I think that this is a complete... Oh, that, that, by the way, that's a good one you should put on the list.
That's true, yeah.
Because he was going to, I said it on this show, when he was doing a, he was going to do a presentation in Ohio, as I recall, with J.D.
Vance, who did Wynn, and everyone was expecting him to announce, and they were putting it on live, and he never announced.
Exactly.
Well, you know, the clip I took from Mr. Reagan, he's not using your details, but he says the same thing.
He says it's a concerted effort by mostly Republicans.
And that stupid lady G. Lindy Hop Graham couldn't wait, because that's probably how far back the plan goes.
Oh, I know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to help them out.
I'm going to really push a bar shot.
That's your whore right there, if you're a Republican Party.
That's the whore is Lindsey Graham.
Nothing against prostitutes or sex workers.
That guy's just a whore.
Collaborateur.
So, yeah, I think this is all an anti-Trump thing, but... No, but wait for it.
Okay, you got more?
Well, I have speculation.
I believe he is announcing, big announcement tomorrow, big announcement, big announcement.
Now, of course, he's come out swinging, he sees what's going on, he sees that he's been betrayed.
So, the Republican Party is not MAGA.
Trump could do something very destructive here.
And he could just say, new party, MAGA party.
In fact, that's what I would expect him to do tomorrow.
Alright, I give you ten points for that idea.
Thank you.
Um... That would be destructive.
Uh-huh.
Although it could actually... It could... He... He might actually get... I was gonna say, he might actually... He has two years to do this now.
Two years.
He could probably get enough people from both parties, because then he'll become Trump, the friendly guy in the middle, the also... I was a Democrat, remember?
I was a Democrat.
We hate these parties.
I mean, I can see him do it.
If he doesn't do it, he's lost forever and he's going to be very annoying.
Because I think... He is annoying anyway, but yes, he has to do... What you said is his only way out.
He has to start a third party called the MAGA party.
Yeah.
He's already got the branding.
He's got the branding, he's got the audience, he's got the people, and maybe we'll find out how many people actually are willing to stay with these.
And by the way, I think it's a perfectly reasonable, almost somewhat American in historic perspective, patriotic move to say, hey, we're the guys with the money.
We're going to bring some peace and calm back here.
And I think a lot of people, certainly conservatives, would be like, yeah, get rid of the woke stuff.
Get rid of all that and just take care of business the way it used to be when you guys ran the stuff.
Well, we'll see.
I'm guessing he's not going to do that.
Oh, what do you think he's going to do?
He's going to just announce, and he's going to become the... He's going to be exactly what you said is the alternative.
He's going to be just annoying.
Well, that's too bad.
Because it would be super exciting if he announced a third party.
No, it would be, and it would be better for the show, and it would give us one more, yet another prediction come true that stemmed from the No Agenda show.
I don't find it so hard to believe.
It's believable, I just don't think he's going to do it.
He has bad advisors, let's face it.
It's hard to believe that he, with full faculties, decided not to announce he was running because they told him not to.
Yeah.
He has bad advisors.
Even during his era as president.
Beyond.
Beyond.
He picks poor people.
He's more into loyalty, as he knows with this thing with DeSantis.
You know, DeSantis may or may not be loyal.
Who knows?
But, you know, there's no reason to go after the guy like that, even though if he said he was a spook and went on about that, that might be more interesting, but he wouldn't do that, which is kind of what I think.
Yeah, but it's not a good look when you're bashing each other in the Republican Party.
That's not a good look.
No, it never is.
It's always bad.
The Democrats are the same way.
They pull back from it a little bit more than the Republicans do when the Republicans get carried away.
But, okay.
Good enough.
By the way, if the Republicans were to succeed with their Wall Street leverage, I don't think things would get very much better in the world.
We'd have less wokeness, maybe.
Politico posted, of course, if this was indeed the gambit and the mainstream was kind of in on it, or had figured it out, or I don't know, then they're all jitty now about how great it is.
How great.
But now we have a problem, because it looks like the Republicans aren't going to have the power they had, and we're still going to have to deal with this president guy.
And Politico posted the game plan.
No, The Hill.
I'm sorry, not Politico.
The Hill.
Here's a game plan.
Biden replaces Harris with Newsom and then resigns.
Gotta love it.
Yeah, that isn't going to happen in a million years if anyone even remotely thinks that.
For one thing, He made these promises, and there's the black woman.
Black and woman.
And Gavin Newsom is not well liked by the party.
I mean, he would probably...
win some presidential elections, but to pull a stunt like this, the Democrats would be so screwed, they probably would permanently lose the black vote, which is not something they can afford to do.
Oh, I disagree.
I don't think so at all.
No, no.
But that's just my personal thinking.
They're not replacing Kam.
How are they going to get rid of her?
He can ask her to resign.
Why?
She's doing a great job.
He said so himself.
She is addicted to Ativan.
She has to detox.
Betty Ford went through it.
She wasn't vice president.
But she started a whole clinic.
Was he going to have the Kamala Harris clinic?
Hey, I didn't come up with a game plan.
It was The Hill, okay?
But I will say... But you seem to be subscribing to it for some reason.
Well, listen to our president and tell me why not.
Biden's being a pop... a pop... a pop... a cop... Biden's being extremist.
This is one of my favorites he's done.
I think you want to say apocalyptic?
But it came out as extreme.
It was.
Wait, wait, wait.
I got one more.
I got one more.
I think the context is that Weather and I were pulling back from Fallujah.
I mean, from the city of Kirsan.
Pull back from Fallujah!
Yeah, no, I'm glad you got that one because I didn't.
Of course.
I knew about that clip.
I didn't get it though.
I got a clip when he was at the AZN.
meeting uh the association southeast asia how was that how was that oh he was he was falling asleep while he was giving his presentation here's the here's the biden asian heart of this is this feel the energy asian is the heart of my administration's in the pacific strategy and we continue to strengthen our commitment to work in lockstep with an empowered unified asian
today we take another critical step beginning a new era in our cooperation with the launch of the u.s asian comprehensive strategic partnership Together, we will tackle the biggest issues of our time, from climate to health security Defend against the significant threats of rule-based order to rule-based order and the threats to the rule of law.
Rule-based order.
No, did you hear the truth wanting to come out?
Let's play it again.
Let's make sure we hear it properly.
Time from climate to health security.
Defend against the significant threats of rule-based order.
To rule-based order and to threats to the rule of law.
Yeah, that's right.
We are going to defend against the significant threats from your rule-based order.
You coot?
By the way, before I play this clip, I want to go to a clip I picked off of, actually one of the producers sent it to me, but it comes from CGTV.
The Chinese brought this professor on to talk about rules-based order.
And he, of course, because they're freaked out about it themselves.
And the clip is define rules-based order.
They don't tell you what the rules are.
They've even gone further than just ignoring United Nations Charter and principles of international law.
They now claim there's this phrase, this rules-based order.
Which is separate from that.
And when you ask them, what is this?
What do you mean, rules based order?
What rules?
They don't tell you what the rules are.
Whose rules?
They don't tell you whose rules.
What are these rules?
Well, it's quite clear the only two rules are, what to?
You will do whatever the United States says, and if you don't, we will crush you.
Those are the two rules.
But that's not international law.
That's international gangsterism.
That's the thinking of gangsters, of mafia.
And the word sanctions, they try to justify their economic wars by calling them sanctions.
How can the United States or any other country sanction China, sanction Russia, Venezuela, Iran, whatever?
They can't.
They're all illegal.
Well, now that ruins all the fun.
This guy.
So that's the Chinese letting us know that they're paying attention.
And I would have to say I concur.
That's pretty much what it means.
I kind of agree with it too.
So let's go with another clip.
So here is where he's calling.
They're in Cambodia and he's calling Cambodia, Colombia.
Hold on a second.
I was honored to host at the White House in May.
And now that we are back together here in Cambodia, I look forward to building even stronger progress than we've already made.
And I want to thank the Prime Minister for Colombia's leadership.
Okay, I heard an IFB.
I'm gonna jack this audio.
I heard an IFB giving him a correction.
Holy crap.
Let's listen again.
I was honored to host at the White House in May, and now that we are back together here in Cambodia, I look forward to building even stronger progress than we've already made.
Right there!
Did you hear it?
I heard something, but what it was, you heard it better.
What did he say?
I don't know.
I have to enhance, rotate, and zoom.
I'll listen to him.
Someone's talking in his ear right there.
I want to thank the Prime Minister for Colombia's leadership and the ASEAN chair.
Do you have a higher quality or an original that I can... That is the best I could do.
You have it.
I'm going to have to rotate, enhance, and zoom.
Well, try it some other time.
But I wouldn't be surprised.
I wouldn't do it now, don't worry.
I won't take up any of your precious time.
That would make sense, because he always talks in a confused manner.
If you've ever had somebody yakking it in an IFB, the little ear thing, talking to you while you're talking, and you're not used to it, or you're not kind of like, you almost have to be trained for it, it will confuse you.
Now I'm going to see if we can isolate that sound.
And so he's always sounding confused.
It makes sense that they would do this.
Here's another one.
Here's one of my favorites.
This is the ASEAN ecosystem.
Not an ecosystem, an ecosystem.
Through our new U.S.
ASEAN electric vehicle infrastructure initiative, we're going to work together to develop an integrated electric vehicle ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
This is interesting.
I hear lots of people saying ecosystem.
Including my hate listeners, Scott Galloway, always talking about the ecosystem.
Especially when he's talking about Twitter, and you know, you and I understand the irony.
Scott Galloway.
Wow.
Yeah.
And maybe it's just a pronunciation issue, but as far as I know, it's always been ecosystem.
It's always been ecosystem.
When do we say echo?
It's never been echo.
Well, maybe they mean echo and it's bullshit.
That's what I'm telling you.
All right, now the only last clip I have about this is not a Biden clip, but this is, I should have played this first, this is the backgrounder, well, A-S-E-D-A-M, this is from Deutsche Welle, this is the backgrounder on this meeting, it should have been played at the beginning.
U.S.
President Joe Biden is meeting Southeastern Asian leaders in Cambodia.
He wants the regional bloc to help contain China's growing influence.
Biden is promising to tackle key issues, including the rule of law.
He's also preparing for talks with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping.
Rule of law!
Well, well, well.
Okay, so the rules-based order is out making their rules.
Rules-based order.
This is a classic.
Yeah, well, I have a couple of reports here from COP 27.
Because it all flows together, how these people think.
I've got some good ones from COP 27, but it's about the money, not about the rules-based order.
It's all about the money.
Let's start with the BBC report about COP 27.
Now, world leaders are addressing the COP 27 summit in Egypt today.
As they try to rally global support for tackling climate change talks, this year we'll focus on three things.
First, the implementation of what's known as the Paris Agreement.
Now in 2015 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Second, we have action on loss and damage.
That's developed nations finding ways to compensate and assist developing nations following decades of environmental damage.
And thirdly, well, there is a promise to be more transparent about the process.
Rich countries will also outline how they plan to reduce their carbon emissions, with countries most affected by rising temperatures describing how climate change is impacting them.
So, wouldn't you know it that, you know, this is going on, and there's protesters everywhere asking for these reparations?
The elections are rising, and so are we!
Hundreds of activists gathered at the COP27 climate conference in Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday, demanding an end to fossil fuels and for Western countries to pay for the damage caused by climate change.
It's the biggest protest to have taken place at this year's climate conference.
We will continue to demand drastic emission cuts and climate reparations from the countries that are historically responsible for our destruction, especially for loss and damage, but also adaptation and mitigation.
We want action.
We don't want them to divert attention.
We don't want side shows.
We want climate action and we want to claim climate justice.
So as we march, let us march.
Let our voice be heard.
Meanwhile, climate rallies were held in several European cities.
In Madrid, Greenpeace led protests demanding an end to fossil fuels.
And hundreds of anti-coal demonstrators in Western Germany spoke out against the expansion of a coal mine.
Professionally printed signs, yelling for reparations, just coincidental that they just showed up in Egypt, in Spain, in Germany, and this will lead you into your clips.
Later today, on this day, President Biden will travel to Egypt for the UN Climate Conference.
Big question there is, who should pay for the devastation already caused by climate change?
That issue high on the agenda.
Poor countries who do not contribute the most to climate change want financial help from wealthier nations who did.
Oh!
It's always the same thing.
Always the same.
Who's gonna pay us?
Well, these reports are from Deutsche Welle.
Mm-hmm.
So we get these different angles on things.
Very good.
And they did point out something that I was kind of happy about in terms of our status.
We seem to be stringing our guys who are the big climate guys as opposed to the Republicans.
We seem to be stringing them along in a very creative way and I thought this was very, this is uplifting as far as I'm concerned.
Let's go, Climate Change, COP 27 report.
The United Nations Climate Summit in Egypt has reached its halfway mark.
Activists staging a worldwide day of action for climate justice say much more action is needed.
Several hundred people joined a rally in Sydney, Australia.
Others demonstrated outside the COP 27 talks in Shymal Sheik.
Campaigners are demanding an end to fossil fuels, and they want Western countries to pay compensation to developing nations for loss and damage caused by climate change.
I mean, since, I don't understand.
It used to be, we've got to do something about, it used to be, actually, it used to be global warming, then it was climate change, then it was carbon dioxide, now it's just carbon, pretty much, soon it'll be just ka.
We got too much cuh in the air.
And so now it's about paying, uh, oh, you owe us money?
I mean, does anyone see how stupid this is?
Part two of this word.
It's, it's, I think it's a little more revealing the second half.
Black joined us earlier from Sharm El Sheikh.
He focuses on international climate politics at the British-based Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit.
We asked him if he sees industrialized countries stepping up to offer climate compensation.
That's a very interesting question.
So obviously, if you take it from the perspective of the countries most affected by climate change, which tend to be the poorest countries around the tropics and so on, their argument is that, well, this damage is being caused to us.
So basically, someone is going to pay for us.
And if you don't, it's going to be us.
And we are the poorest countries on the planet.
So why should we?
We didn't cause it.
Now, I think it's kind of politically very difficult for countries in the global north to sign up to that sort of agenda because in a sense they'd be offering potentially an open checkbook.
But on the other hand, they clearly recognize that they have to do something.
So rhetorically, even the U.S.
is in the camp now of saying that we have to do something.
But reparation, compensation, these are words that you won't hear coming from the U.S.
Some of you countries are a little bit in the middle.
They've put forward some pots of money.
Germany's put forward the big spot of money.
These are tens and hundreds of millions rather than billions.
You know, what is it?
Tens?
Hundreds?
Sorry, I just don't like this reporting.
These are tens and hundreds of millions rather than the billions and potentially in a decade's time trillions that would be needed to justify also to settle the claims of the poorest countries.
So there's a lot to play for here.
The most significant thing is that the richest countries in Europe have started to make a move.
But we haven't.
No.
And that's John Kerry.
His private jet.
He's not saying anything.
He's good at beating around the bush.
That's what he's pro.
So he's a good guy now?
No, he's never a good guy.
He's a blowhard.
But the point is at least we have enough sense at that level with this party that we're not going to just start throwing money away.
We throw money away at war.
Come on!
No way we're going to throw money just to fix some beaches that somebody can't deal with the erosion problem.
Or they can't deal with erosion.
There is a plan.
There is a plan.
I don't know if Carrie's clued into it, but there is a plan.
And this showed up at the Central Bankers Panel at COP 27, of which I have a clip.
And do you remember the new asset class?
This goes back maybe nine months, a year.
And it's the way the big agriculture is looking at food and how can we commoditize every blade of grass, basically.
So that we can still have, you know, some commodity-based system?
I know that sounds kind of vague, but I remember, you know, reading about this, trying to communicate what they're doing, but this clip may even explain what they're thinking about.
It seems far-fetched, but if you have some kind of, I don't know, digital money, it might work.
So central banks are also starting to understand nature has real value.
Carbon, we already figured out.
And carbon is moving very quickly into a A system where it's going to be very close to a currency.
Basically being able to take a ton of absorbed or sequestered carbon and being able to create a forward pricing curve with financial service architecture.
NFT.
Documentation.
I just came out of a meeting this morning how we're trying to accelerate that.
To be quite honest, not to get very boring that we're on financial topics and things, but there are going to be derivatives and you need ISDA documentation if you want to trade a derivative in the marketplace.
And all of this actually matters for nature as well.
I'm going to quickly hand off, but again, I want to talk about value one more time.
Because the southern part of the world has value far greater than large elements of the northern part.
And we start thinking about and putting prices on water, on trees, on biodiversity, we find where does that sit?
I'm doing a lot of work out of Asia, and I say that my next-door neighbor, Indonesia, is the left lung of the world, and obviously Brazil's the right.
And Africa, absolutely critical.
And we need their natural capital as a system-based world more than we need that 66 billion we've got sitting in the basement of the Bank of England.
So how do we, and I'm hoping this discussion today, at least from a central banker's point of view, on how do we start tokenizing?
How do we start building systems that actually create not only the value, but transfer that value around the world?
These guys are thinking big.
They need a guy with a butterfly net chasing them around.
These guys are nuts.
Yeah, but they don't care.
They run the system.
Anyway, one more from this merry bunch.
The Dutch Prime Minister, Rutte, he's really happy at the Netherlands' role in everything.
I mean, there's basic, the food, have you ever heard of a food system?
Uh, no.
I don't think you've ever heard.
There's jokes there, I'm looking for a punchline.
No, no, I'm not looking for a joke.
Couldn't come up with one.
I'm looking for a joke.
I'm thinking Burger King.
Yeah, no, but a food system, I guess if you're going to say what is the food system, it's like you've got farmers, and the farmers go to the packaging, and the packaging goes to the retail, and the retail goes to people.
I guess that's kind of your food system.
Well, the Netherlands thinks there's all kinds of new food systems.
Then here's the Prime Minister to tell us about it on Zoom.
So the role of businesses in the agri-food sector should be stimulated and able to create scalable solutions.
And here I'd like to highlight a World Economic Forum initiative in this regard, the World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs.
These hubs in Africa, in Asia, in South America and in Europe will allow businesses to connect regional stakeholders to skill innovations, because this is key, skill innovations that can address food systems challenges.
And here, I'm particularly proud to announce that the Netherlands will host the Global Coordinating Secretariat of the World Economic Forum Food Innovation Hubs, which will connect all other food innovation hubs.
And I believe this is important, because it will be facilitating to create the partnerships we need.
Food innovation hubs?
Okay, you're right.
Ruda's an idiot.
And by the way, anyone who, now my verboten word or the one I'm going to keep looking for is people, and I've seen this before, they keep cropping up this vague concept of stakeholders.
And he throws it in right at the beginning.
Yeah, stakeholders.
That's a World Economic Forum.
Yeah, that's everybody, I guess.
Do you like food?
Well, no.
If you like food, you're a stakeholder.
Well, I was rolling a steak, for sure.
Ha ha!
There he is.
I lobbied.
I ol' alley-ooped it twice.
Uh, yeah.
These guys are nuts.
That guy.
Wow.
But it's kind of interesting that this country will be the center.
I mean, it's like food systems.
Okay, we have food systems challenges.
Yeah, the challenge is you're removing the input side.
So is that where the food innovation hub comes up with innovative advancements in technology such as, I don't know, fake food?
Soy-based rage?
People aren't going to put up with this much longer.
If they have no choice, they will.
They have plenty of choices.
The Dutch have been putting up with the boot- with a literal Nazi boot on their neck since Pim Fortuyn was assassinated.
Yeah, well... The Dutch just don't seem to have it in them.
I love them, but they don't seem to have it in them.
I think historically we can agree on that.
Sadly.
Well, they had plenty of Verve in the 1600s.
Luckily, there's always some stupid celebrity that can make us laugh about this whole disaster of a cop.
The actor who played Dwight on The Office is changing his name.
Rainn Wilson is trying to raise awareness about climate change, so Rainn has changed his name to Rainfall Heatwave Rising Sea Levels Wilson.
Exactly.
That's Dwight.
Oh my god, what a virtue signaling a-hole.
That's Dwight from The Office.
Dwight.
Can you believe that?
That's really incredible.
So we have just a little side clip here.
Well actually I got some clips about the Ukraine.
We should cover that.
You want to do that before the break?
We're running a little late.
Okay, right after the break I'm going to talk about her son.
Okay.
They got all the Deutsche Welle stuff, all their reports, and it's kind of interesting from this perspective.
Oh, good, good.
I also want to do, after that, after that, I'll do a little FTX breakdown, which will be funny.
So my son met the guy about 10 years ago.
SBF?
This FTX guy.
Yeah, he's a local boy.
He's on the spectrum.
He's an artist.
And so he, uh, my son said, yeah, he met him, and this was in regards to one of the, uh, one of his friend's brother is one of the top magic players in the world.
Ha!
Yes.
He makes over a million bucks.
Uh-huh, sure.
And so this guy was kind of wanted to get involved in that scene, uh, at the time, and he found him to be a very arrogant prick.
There's reasons for that, which I will discuss after the break, after Russia.
Sounds like a winner!
People will want to stay tuned for that.
Before we go there, though, there was something else I thought we needed to do.
Oh, yes.
Do you have anything on Elon on Twitter, just to get that out of the way?
People are always very excited.
No, but I got a note.
I found a mailing on the newsletter list for Playbill.
You've been to Broadway.
Yes, of course.
Any place in the country where you go Then you pick up a playbill.
The yellow booklet.
It's a little yellow booklet that you get with the playbill.
It lists the people doing the performances.
So they sent out their newsletter today and it was, WE'RE QUITTING TWITTER!
It's a center for hate!
And I'm thinking, what are you, what arrogant pricks.
In other words, a bunch of woke people got into this little publication, Playbill, and now they're quitting Twitter in a huff.
For no apparent reason.
We've played all the clips, they haven't changed anything, but they're quitting anyway.
Yeah, you gotta love it.
Well, here's the only clip I have, and I have a few things to discuss.
This morning, we're learning more about the internal chaos at Twitter after leaked audio of that company-wide meeting with CEO Elon Musk.
Chaos!
I think we just definitely need to bring in more cash than we spend, or if we don't do that... What a theory!
Hold on!
Stop this for a second.
I gotta write this down.
I think it might actually be a t-shirt.
Make more cash than you spend, Elon.
What an insight.
Jack Welch, step aside.
Bring in more cash than we spend, or if we don't do that and there's a massive negative cash flow, then bankruptcy is not out of the question.
Within two weeks of his company takeover, Musk moving at breakneck speed, firing nearly 50% of the workforce.
Some say Musk is trying to rally the troops, but key execs who were thought to be part of the new Twitter are resigning, and top advertisers pausing their spending until there's more clarity on Twitter's direction.
Another stumble, the verification function.
After a lot of back and forth, Twitter is pausing the $8 paid checkmark after launching it Yeah.
Only a few days ago.
Amid all the uncertainty, some Twitter users tweeting misinformation, even impacting pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly's stock on Friday.
The battle against imposter accounts and misinformation, one of many that Musk has to win to keep Twitter relevant.
Yeah, this is great.
And by the way, of course we have our theory, we don't have to go over it, but I think he's just doing Hegelian dialectic here.
This is a problem, a reaction, which we're now in the reaction phase, and I expect his solution will come pretty soon, and it's going to be some Complete replacement.
In my mind, this verification, the $8 blue check, I think that was a trial balloon for some reason.
He's not serious about any of this.
How can you imagine this guy saying that?
Like you pointed out.
Hey, hey, listen people.
We gotta make more than we spend.
Okay.
Um, the Eli Lilly stock, I find that to be specious, actually bullcrap.
No, but I love it.
Because if you zoom out on that chart, I mean they have been a rocket ship and it's like a little blip at the top of the peak right now.
And, you know, you had, uh, I'm just gonna, you know, since they'll never invite me on the show anyway, Beanie Boy Tim Pool was like, It's crazy!
Billions of dollars lost!
It's nuts!
Come on my show, Elon!
I was wearing my beanie this morning, so I'm all worked up about it.
Um, so that's all just kind of bullshit.
But obviously- You try to get on this show?
Even his co-host keeps saying we should get Adam on the show, and then it never happens.
I never get an invite.
So he doesn't like you?
No, of course not, because I made fun of him for years.
Hello?
And then I stopped, because I'm like, I'll be nice.
And then I don't get invited, so I just go back to not being nice.
I mean, making fun of him.
I can make fun of anybody I want.
I don't have a secret deal.
Yeah, you do to me.
And I'm working with you.
Yeah, well, come on.
What does he expect?
Why do you think I show up?
Yeah, there you go.
Some elder abuse, that's why I'm here.
Hey, stop it!
So, we will just continue to see... You're hurting my arm!
We will continue to see what Elon does.
Now, there is one thing that's interesting that one of our producers pointed out, I didn't realize.
This idea of making money for your content.
So, I did not know this.
But if you know where to go, you can't search for any porn terms on Twitter and get any results.
In fact, you get zero results.
I don't care which term you use, you're going to get zero results.
However, if you go on to Google or some other search engine and say, here's my porn term, Twitter, you will see that there is an incredible amount of hardcore porn videos, pictures, solicitations all over Twitter.
Yeah.
Of course they're excluded from the algo.
So I think, now this is from one of our producers.
Let me read his analysis.
Okay.
Online streamers, especially adult performers, use combinations of Tinder, Snapchat, Twitter, and services like OnlyFans and Pornhub to monetize.
The thing that no one in the media talks about is the fact that every type of adult content imaginable from softcore to hardcore fetish are available on Twitter.
The only barrier is the site or the app asking if you're 18.
Currently from what I see, he's reliably informed, most if not all of these performers, adult and non-adult, post a lot of teasers on Twitter and drive traffic to OnlyFans, Pornhub, and other adult sites and streaming services that allow for monetization.
Chatterbait and other similar streaming sites again capitalize off of Twitter.
Performers literally have Twitter, Amazon Wishlist, and other badges on their live feed to click and ask viewers to follow them on Twitter, Snap, etc.
So he concludes, and I think this is very reasonable, Musk has to be seeing the loss of revenue, hence the future long video content, payment, verification, etc, etc.
I think there's something to that.
I'm not going to argue that in any way, shape, or form.
I think this producer, who is unnamed.
Yes, a reliably informed producer.
Who probably is one of those, you know, we know who it is.
He wears a baseball cap, put it that way.
Backwards?
He is nailing it.
Yes, he is.
Just coin a phrase.
Yes, exactly.
So that may be one important step.
And think of that, that's a lot of money.
I mean, I don't know what Ole Fans is doing, but they're doing quite well.
And of course, his whole bank system.
So we'll see how that goes.
There was one other rumor I wanted to report on, which I thought was beautiful.
The rumor is Federman may be the first to test out Elon Musk's Neuralink.
Wouldn't that be a cool, long game to have this guy to pretend to have a stroke, have him win, and then say, alright, I put the Neuralink in him, all of a sudden, boom.
Well, I have this clip of Katie Turr.
Katie Turr.
Turr.
Yeah, Katie Turr, going on and on about what a great guy Federman is and how he should run for president.
Detterman as a nominee at some point for president, I know there's some variables, obviously.
Just a few.
Just a few.
But I just, you know, what he did in the super red, deep red parts of Pennsylvania and the way that he ran ahead of Biden, as you were saying, ran ahead of Trump.
I mean, it just makes it makes you wonder about his future.
Right up there with Avenatti.
Or what if Elon's Neuralink all of a sudden works?
Right up there with Oven Nutty.
Yes, I have to say, these women at NBC are asshole idiots.
Katie Turr's gotta be one of my favorites.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage, say a morning to you, the man who put the C in the COVID ready shot!
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Gamora!
And a hearty ho-ho in the morning to all the trolls in the troll room.
Now we have been... Here's something I noticed.
feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and all the knights out there.
And a party ho-ho in the morning to all the trolls in the troll room.
Now we have been...
Here's something I noticed.
I think that part of the troll drop-off is...
Well, A, they're trolls.
We've had some...
We've gotten a lot of DDoS on the stream specifically.
So it disconnects people and then, you know, and the people refresh and it's just a whole pain in the butt.
And we're trying to harden all that, trying to make it better.
I'm losing my voice for some reason.
I don't know why.
I don't like it.
What?
My voice is going a little bit.
I don't know why.
No, to have some sugar water.
You know what happened?
It was after I did Pool Boy.
I got punished.
No, you were overdoing the voice.
I was already struggling?
Yeah, I was struggling.
Let's count these trolls.
They hang out at TrollRoom.io where you can listen live on Thursdays and Sundays, but there's many live shows, and if not, you'll hear a podcast, all from NoAgendaNation.com, from TrollRoom.io, truly the best podcast network in the universe.
Why?
It's all talk, no commercials, and no agenda.
That's exactly why.
All right, trolls, let me see how many of you are out there.
We got, uh, for this Sunday, 2,045.
How is that?
Is that kind of... How much?
What was it again?
I couldn't hear it because I had a dinging.
2,045.
For Sunday?
Yeah.
That's 200 down.
It's just 200 as our basic number that we're down.
Alright.
We do appreciate all being here.
And maybe if you'd like to help us out, go get the Podverse app.
They're currently the one, podverse.fm, they're currently the ones that give you the live bat signal.
It pops up as a notification on your phone.
You open it up, boom, there's your stream playing in the app that you can use for podcasts, and it has a chat room, the troll room, that will be.
And you'll also see all the cool images that we use for chapters, such as the one that we want to thank for episode 1502, We titled this, Shoed Fortage, based upon a brain glitch that I had.
People liked this title.
I thought it was good.
I liked it.
We both liked it.
Shoed Fortage.
And the art was the cancelled red wave came to us from none other than ComicStripBlogger.
Typically a man of many butts.
No ifs, ands, or buts with this art.
And, uh, we're very happy.
We liked it.
We, there were other things that we looked at.
Let me see.
I did use the Darren O'Neill Fetterman art with the Mr. Potato Head on the newsletter.
And so it's a, it's a throwback.
There's a callback.
So you got an old comic strip blocker sitting in the wings, still producing stuff once in a while.
And then Darren, who's always good for a good piece.
If everything else fails, Darren O'Neill's piece is always useful.
Darren's always there.
Also, Darren did a reasonable butt-clench art.
He actually kind of... Yeah, it was... Yeah.
Yeah, it was actually quite good.
It was a good butt clinch to... There was a... We're reliably informed.
Well, you could tell by looking at it, you know, you can see it looks like something's going on.
Yeah.
So, I had an interesting thing with when I was doing a newsletter and I came up with Darren's piece.
I had Blubber Brains Matter by Tantaniel is the one I was going to use, which is right above the butt clinch over to the right.
Uh, which is a funny Biden Fetterman, not a joke, uh, poster looking thing.
And I put it in there.
I hate to say this.
I mean, I don't want to condemn the artist for being too good.
It was good, but it looked commercial.
I mean, it looked like it was like, yeah, it looked, it looked like an actual promotion for Biden Fetterman.
It wasn't funny.
It wasn't funny.
It was like too real, especially the not a joke part.
Yeah, it all fit right in.
Not a joke.
And you know what the tagline should be?
Biden-Fetterman.
It's a no-brainer.
That's a joke that's been going around.
I'm glad you threw it into the show, even though it was a setup for me.
Yeah, I was waiting for it, but you didn't hit it.
I know, I'm a little slow today.
And I think because of that, the timing wasn't off.
No one laughed.
I didn't hear you laugh.
No, it wasn't.
Timing was not good.
Yeah, it's on the No Agenda social, that gag.
It's been flowing.
Oh yeah, it's been around.
Well, we appreciate not only the work of Comics for Blogger, but of every single one of our No Agenda artists.
This is a fun... What is this?
Sam... Sam Bankman Freed.
There's a pretty rude image of him that was put in today.
All right, it's very funny.
Go take a look, noagendaartgenerator.com.
You can refresh live during the show.
You'll see stuff pop up.
You can look at any time.
And of course, this also shows up, as I mentioned before, in the Podcasting 2.0 apps that have chapters.
All of them do pretty much now.
Take in the world by storm.
You wait, it's going to show up an apple.
You wait, they're going to have to dance to my pipes.
And what else?
Also t-shirts, hats, mugs, hoodies, keychains, all kinds of stuff at noagendashop.com.
Thank you very much.
Looks like noagendashop.com finally bit the bullet and they're doing a large 32 by 32 inch poster that is printed on canvas.
And the first one they did it, they showed off on one of the, at least the one I saw, which is what, I'm going to cut you.
I'll cut you.
Let me see.
It's just a nice piece because it's a pop art looking thing.
It looks real.
It looks like a real piece of pop art.
Good stuff I haven't seen here before at noagendashop.com.
I like the 33 enameled flag pin.
That's cool.
What else do we have?
Enamel's great.
They did a big promotion on the 1500- Excuse me, 1500- Oh, there it is!
Customizable canvas cover art.
Oh, wow.
Framable.
And we have koozies.
You guys are doing okay.
What show has koozies?
None.
None?
Thank you very much.
We will not be seeing any art from Comicstripblogger today, sadly, because he does not work or submit anything or really leave the house.
He's probably under the covers because it is the 13th.
He does not work on Unlucky 13.
Ever.
Ever since I've known him.
Very interesting dude.
I find that peculiar.
Very interesting dude that way.
Thanks again, CSB.

I continue to crawl towards knighthood with today's $3.45.67 donation, putting me more than three quarters of the way there.
And he says, special note to Adam, I enjoyed his commentary on new hearing aid deregulation.
He's a musician starting to use hearing bags, hearing aids back in 2018.
He then completely lost his hearing on the right side.
This year he had a cochlear implant surgery.
Oh, that's hardcore.
And he's adjusting to analog-digital blended auditory life.
Oh man, I would love to talk to you about that.
It's very interesting to me.
And he says, for sure, you all should definitely make sure you go to an audiologist if you have any kind of issues about your hearing.
Well, I agree.

Many thanks.
Sincerest apology, Darius Unity, girl, dad, times two, founder of Warranty's PS, and he's got some screenshots, and then he's got some other PPS.
He sent us about five notes to get this one in, so I'm not absolutely sure.
It's pretty cool, this website.
For which we have a discount code.
Shows me a lot of black and white pictures from I would say maybe Iraq or Afghanistan.
Military.
And then it has a bunch of t-shirts.
I kind of like his note writing.
This is the same kind of website theme.
All right, everybody.
Well, thank you very much.
Good.
Check that out for sure.
Then we have Lillian Soner.
Soner.
S-O-E-H-N-E-R.

Soner.
Jacksonville, Florida.
And she sent us a note, which I'll get here.
This is on a nice card.
Yeah, it says, John and Adam, thank you for all of your hard work.
Wow, what a signature, huh?
Look at that.
Beauty.
Signature is a top novelist.
Okay, that L.
What TV show does that make you think of?
That Lillian L. Doesn't make me think of any TV show.
I Love Lucy.
Oh, yeah, I can see that.
Okay.
Anyway, that is our short list of the six people of Associate Executive Producers, Executive Producers.
Very short, short, short, short.
Should we do some of these make goods right now, though?
Yeah, I want you to do some make goods.
Yeah, we got a couple of them.
We have Greg B, and he says that we have a major problem with the donation page.
We got you.
We are doing a full revamp.
Q1, everybody!
Q1.
Q1.
Full revamp of the entire process.
Q1!
Q1.
Thank you for your amazing show and content.
This is my first long overdue donation.
I knew M5M was full of crap since Ron Paul's election run in 2012.
During COVID, I struggled to find one source to talk about all the issues that needed discussion.
I found you through the Tom Woods Show back in 2020.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey.
Tom Woods Donation.
That's right.
Tom Woods Donation.
I love the use of clips and documents to make your points, as well as citing everything in the notes for easy pickings.
Even with your COVID content, I was still overly cautious with friends in 2020.
One of my best friends had a baby spring 2020 alone in the hospital because no visitors allowed, and we had our second that September.
Unfortunately, we kept our distance from each other that year, afraid of the impact on our newborns.
I had no idea what she was going through.
Oh, this is horrible.
So it didn't end well with her friend.
Anyway, he will be a knight, and we're very happy to have him as Sir Gregory, Knight of the Fox, Rex, and Knox.
Play anything you want in honor of Jenny.
Well, what should we play in honor of Jenny?
I think that's not something that I should be determining, but we'll just give her a double up then, how about that?
You've got...
Doesn't feel right, but... Uh, Cory Buckwheat.
Cory Buckwheat.
Now, she also had a confusing, uh, note.
Here's my make-good note from the last two shows.
I take full accountability for the confusion and do not blame anyone who didn't read my first note thoroughly.
Okay, so she corrects us that her... She is a Cor... Okay, Cory Buck... This is what... There was confusion.
This is setting the message... Everything straight from the last show.
Cory Buckwheat is the man.
Yes, Cory.
The missus is Jen, the woman.
My fiancé and I are prisoners of Canada.
Not from Louisiana, we wish.
As an honest and honorable producer, I must relinquish the damehood title for Jen mentioned in the last show.
My precious donation was credited to her.
And her journey to damehood.
This did not make her a dame as it was my first time donating and a mere row of ducks.
I now... I know it can be a wee bit confusing with Canadian translation.
Man.
I don't know what's happening.
Let me stand up.
Hold on.
I'll do this standing up.
Maybe that's better.
What?
It's long COVID, man.
You always stand up.
Now you're standing up?
I was standing up until the donation segment, which is what I always do.
Then I sit down, take a little breather.
I'm dizzy.
All right, we're glad that we settled that, Corey.
Thank you very much.
Terry Perden says, I just realized after your inflation special.
Invented by Republicans!
I only needed $9 to claim my Dame status.
Please put me on the birthday list as I try to keep up with Uncle Mumbles on time travel.
There simply is not enough Adderall left to compete.
Please accept my new identity below as Dame Savvy TP.
Here to assist in protecting the mental health of PDX Metro Dimension.
Thanks for all you do.
I'm sorry about my stupid Adam joke from 1029.
We can't even remember it.
Nothing is stupid, except us.
Peter Rosinski says, congrats on 15 years with a penny for the plate to spare.
Thanks for... We always appreciate people who do that.
Please accept my donation which you put me over the top for knighthood.
I kindly request the title Sir Peter Petrelhead, knight of the Motor City with a bit of goat karma for all.
We'll give you some goat karma now.
You've got...
I think this may be the last one.
I think.
Maybe someone's still out there.
I'm sure there's... There'll be more.
I'm looking for the one of the guy who's been waiting for three episodes.
James Kashin II.
Happy 15th.
Donated.
Seems to have gone through.
Waited a few shows, but my mention didn't make it.
Sorry to add to the list.
Not at all.
The avalanche will soon be over and John will check the mudflaps.
It's mudflats.
Mudflaps, too.
I like the mudflaps.
Thank you all very much.
Thank you to these producers who made our 15th anniversary week so special.
Thank you to the executive and associate executive producers for episode 1503.
These are forever credits.
You can use them anywhere that credits are recognized and accepted as they should be.
Because go to IMDB, you'll see that many Hollywood heavy hitters have them as well.
If you'd like to learn more and how to become a producer at any level, go here.
Thank you for your time, your talent, your treasure for episode 1,503!
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Shut up, slaves!
Order Shut up, slave Shut up, slave A couple of bookkeeping or little cleanup things you want to mention One is that people are still sending email to notes at noagenda.net when it should be notes at noagendashow.net.
We do not own No Agenda.
Somebody does in Europe, I think.
And that keeps going on and never ends.
Also sending me the ring sizes isn't going to help anyone.
We're all going to fix this.
John, Q1.
Q1, it's all going to be fixed, but I suspect there's at least one or two more people stuck in the vortex, as I like to call it.
Definitely.
Where they can't get out, and they send us notes, and we forward the notes, and then you forward it to somebody else, and then they send a second note in that negates the first note, and then they send a third note in, and then we don't know what to do.
So we'll get this done, and we're getting it done, and we hope that... But the donations need to get back to normal.
We're actually running pretty low here.
Q1, people.
Q1.
Alright, let's go to discuss a little bit of Ukraine.
I'm so happy to discuss Ukraine.
In fact, this morning I woke up and said, if only we could talk about Ukraine.
My Crane, Ukraine.
So we need some interpretations of what's going on because these theories and all these pundits and our people at the State Department, they don't, they're not telling us anything good.
No.
So, okay, well, let's, so I'm going to hit different sources and try to work some of this out.
This is Deutsche Welle, and they got some guy, they're going to do a whole, they got a three-parter here.
The second part was an optional, but this is the Hebrew, Hursan, is Hursan.
The Russians seem to have left and went over to the other side of the river, the Dnieper River.
And which is funny, because at the very beginning of this thing, back when it started, there was a thesis that the Russians were just going to take everything on that side of the river and they were going to leave the rest.
And they're kind of doing that, but everyone thinks they're retreating, they've got their tails between their legs.
No, they're winning!
Ukraine is winning!
Ukraine's winning!
So that, well, that's, you know, so the trillion dollars we sent him is for a good reason.
Here we go.
Kherson report, Deutsche Welle.
Ukraine is celebrating its biggest victory since the start of the war in February.
Ukrainian troops have liberated the southern city of Kherson after Russia's occupation forces retreated from the area.
But President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian troops destroyed the city's critical infrastructure as they were fleeing.
Welcome from Kherson!
Greetings from Kherson is the message from this Ukrainian soldier.
Russian troops occupied the city for eight months.
Now jubilant crowds have welcomed their own special forces back to their hometown.
The liberation of Kherson is also being celebrated in the capital Kiev.
Many fled here from Kherson including Volodymyr and his five-year-old daughter Stefania.
The little girl can't wait to see her grandmother again.
We want to go back to Kherson, but it's still too dangerous for my daughter.
We need daycare and a school.
I don't know when we'll be able to go back, but Kherson will be rebuilt.
Kherson was the only regional capital the Russians managed to capture after the invasion.
The Kremlin has confirmed that 30,000 of its troops have withdrawn from the city and the region to the north.
Do we have an official pronunciation?
You know, we have Kiev, it's Kherson or Ker-son?
Ker-son, Her-son, Mer-son, I don't know.
Now I'm going to skip the second part of this because I thought it was kind of boring, that's why I put the O in there for optional.
I'm going to go to the third, which is good.
And this is one party giving us a little analysis, at least something we can maybe use someday.
I mean, the thing here is that Kherson is basically, was the only area of Ukraine west of the Dnipro River that Russia had taken hold of, and that basically allowed them to constantly threaten Ukraine's access to the sea.
Ports like Odessa and Mykolaiv, people might have heard of them.
It was the Green Deal sending Ukraine's food exports to the world.
And they were under constant threat from Russian artillery, Russian missile attacks, and that is now going to be that much more difficult for Russia to do.
Ukraine has secured its access to world trade, to kind of secure its economy, but this is, you know, also crucial that basically the Ukraine strategy has paid off.
Rather than sending lots of troops to die, kind of throwing them at the Russian front lines, as has been the tactic that the Russians seem to be using with their newly mobilized troops, Ukraine has basically methodically gone about depriving Russian troops of their supply lines, destroying bridges, destroying pontoon bridges, and basically making it impossible for the Russians to resupply their garrison in Kherson.
So you've really seen them running out of ammunition in recent weeks, having to think three times before replying to Ukrainian fire.
And that basically now has led to a situation where Russia had basically no option but to pull out with seemingly very limited casualties on the Ukrainian side.
Wasn't that interesting?
So I think this is Russia's plan all along.
Sounds like it.
I don't believe half of what they're telling us here is forced.
But do you think that, is Vladimir Putin, Putin, do you think he is disciplined enough to just take it and, you go dance around, pretend like you have a win, and we'll just sit here, what we planned all along?
Do you think that's what he would do?
Well, he's kind of letting, if you listen to all these reports from European sources, that Putin is not doing anything.
He's not talking about it.
He's let this general guy that he gave the reins of control to do what he wants.
And then when it's done, it's done.
And then Putin will come out and give a victory speech, you know, kind of like Bush did on the aircraft carrier.
Mission accomplished.
Mission accomplished.
And just point to, like, this is what we wanted and this is what we got.
I don't know what you guys are talking about with all this other stuff.
Right, right.
Yeah, just declare victory.
Yeah.
Well, here's the CBS report.
Russian forces flee the west bank of the Dnieper River.
Once their stronghold, now among the 41 settlements Ukraine has recaptured in the occupied Kherson region.
These soldiers, just a few miles from enemy lines, are using drones to hone in on Russian positions.
Here is Russians.
Here is he going to the trench.
They're now marked men.
You can see the Russians over here.
But the Russians can also see the Ukrainians.
Further back, the artillery takes aim.
Glory to Ukraine!
Fire!
Drone images capture the moment of impact.
And just as quickly as they came, these fighters, now exposed, must flee the scene.
But not the region.
After nearly nine months of occupation and atrocities beyond the southern front, it's the Russians who are finally doing that.
Yeah, so they make it look like the drones did it, man.
Drones.
It was great.
Thanks to our drones from China.
Here's a follow-up.
Russian forces now leave behind a deadly trail of landmines and booby traps.
Ukrainian civilians have been killed when they found a landmine hidden inside their washing machine or underneath their bed.
So Ukrainian forces are now proceeding with extreme caution.
Oh, please.
Come on, this is like the Viagra story.
Who's putting a bomb in somebody's dryer?
They should have closed the circle and said, oh, they're putting booby traps in toilets.
Yeah, that's what's missing from the report.
Yeah.
So when someone goes to take a dump, then they blow up because Russians hate toilets.
And as you pointed out, the number remains the same to make it untrackable.
The Pentagon has announced another $400 million in aid for Ukraine.
And overnight we learned the U.S.
has reportedly agreed to buy artillery from South Korea to give to Ukrainian troops.
It comes amid concerns about troops eating into U.S.
stockpiles.
The U.S.
now estimates 100,000 Russian soldiers and 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the war so far.
Man!
We haven't seen any of that.
A lot of dead bodies.
No, but we keep hearing 400, 400.
It's some code.
Somebody sent me a note because I've been talking about this idea that you just keep saying 400 billion.
And it's like, oh, we sent a 400 billion.
Yeah, 10 times.
Yeah.
That's the point.
That's how it works.
Yeah, and they say, yeah, 400.
I've heard that.
Yeah, well, it's 400.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, which 400?
He says a pallet of money is 400 billion.
You know, the pallet that's sent to Iran.
But I don't think this is pallets of money we're dealing with here.
No, this is not going to Ukraine, to Fallujah.
No, it's a money laundering operation.
Yes!
Yes, well, okay.
That's why we can't stop it because too many people... Were you involved?
Were you aware that Ukraine and FTX Yes, I was very aware of this and now I want to hear your breakdown because this whole FTX story interests me in the least.
I know and I don't want to.
I do like the fact that this guy walked around like a total slob, you know, in beat up old tennis shoes, you know, showing his legs.
Guys are like, what?
You're going to take this guy seriously?
Even Voldemir, Zelensky, he wears a new t-shirt every day, doesn't wear this beat-up old piece of crap, but okay.
As again, I will try not to go too deep into the nuttiness of it because this is so much on it, but the basics are pretty simple.
But I think I'll actually start with CNBC, and this could not have happened to a nicer guy, one of the business partners, I'm not quite sure exactly what transaction there was, you know, he says that FTX bought 30% of his business, but it was none other than Scaramucci, the mooch!
So you can imagine what kind of fabulous group this FTX was.
And Scaramucci is the only clip I could find where he points out the important part.
We were embarking upon helping him fundraise.
He had purchased 30% of my business and so as good citizens we were trying to help him around the world when the crisis hit over the weekend.
I made a unilateral decision to fly down to the Bahamas on Tuesday in the spirit of helping.
And so you caught what Brian was saying there.
The original idea was this is a rescue finance situation and could we somehow help, which would obviously help the entire industry.
And then when I got to the Bahamas, it became clear, at least from some of the people that worked on the legal team and the compliance team, that perhaps there was more going on than it being a rescue situation.
So when I left the Bahamas in the afternoon, I was actually distressed.
I don't want to call it fraud at this moment, because that's actually a legal term, and none of us know, and we have to leave it up to the regulators, and we also have to give people, everybody, a presumption of innocence.
But I have to tell you, I'm distressed about it.
I don't like it for the industry, and I would implore Sam and his family.
He has two wonderful parents.
Joe Bankman and Barbara Freed, I would implore them to tell the truth to their investors, get to the bottom of it, stop 22 tweets, but get themselves in front of a regulator and explain exactly what happened.
And if there was fraud, let's clean it up to the extent possible and repair the accounts at FTX.
Now this is the interesting part about this Bankman Freed character, it's his parents.
Both, wait for it, professors, lawyers, who are experts at financial compliance.
His mom, Barbara Freed, she is the co-founder of the quote-unquote secretive Silicon Valley group That spent, or planned to spend, and did, I guess, $140 million to beat Trump.
This is a super PAC, and so now when you see all of the involvement of politics, because you get this SBF character, and he's, of course, he's a genius, he's on front of Fortune magazine, he's the JP Morgan of crypto, he's the new Warren Buffett, he's testifying in Congress, and the guy is full of crap at everything he says.
It's always been a stupid black box that has been very... It's only retail scam, but it went so much further because now we have the establishment.
So, I mean, you can imagine that when he starts to dole out $50 million for the midterm, Much of which was cash, but also he, in order to teach politicians, he gave them crypto accounts on FTX of his own altcoin FTT, which we call a shitcoin if you're a Bitcoin.
Doesn't matter.
So it could be literally laundering of money sent to Ukraine going into the FTT fund that was funneled right back out on the back end to Democrats.
It could have gone anywhere.
The point is It is such a scam, this thing.
Classic Ponzi scheme.
And then he had not just his exchange, but he had an investment firm.
And the investment firm is what makes it fun because that's where client money was used.
They were investing in all kinds of weird future projects and agricultural things, which again has corruption and kickbacks written all over it.
And ultimately this is a very good thing for the so-called crypto world because all of it needs to go away It's all in bullcrap.
It's all fake.
It's phony It's none of it is is any good except for one and that's my own opinion and do your own research now Here is the CEO just to take it a little further the CEO of the investment firm Alameda Alameda research is Well, she is the daughter of the boss of the MIT labs, who just recently, up until not long ago, was the boss of Gary Gensler, who is now in charge of the SEC.
So, you know, if you're going to let your daughter run this, and she seems pretty young, I think 25 years old, and this is how she's talking about her business?
This was like some interview when she's sitting on a cot and the two interviewers are sitting around her and just listen, Carolyn Ellison.
Yeah, I absolutely could pull it off without my math degree.
I use very little math.
I use a lot of, like, elementary school math.
Being comfortable with risk is very important.
We tend not to have things like stop losses.
I think those aren't necessarily a great risk management tool.
Hey John, is a stop loss a bad risk management tool?
I don't know how that would be.
It gets you out of something that's going down.
That's what I would think.
Example of a trade where I've lost a ton of money.
Well, I don't know.
I probably don't want to go into specifics too much with that.
So this one is so incriminating.
Now she's on a Zoom call which somehow someone recorded because these were just a bunch of nut jobs in a big Penthouse condos set up in the Bahamas.
We're all having sex with each other and scamming the world.
And here's another one from her about her work at the investment firm.
A big argument sort of back in whenever it was, June or July, about like, should we even do yield farming at all?
And I was kind of like, oh, I don't know.
This whole thing seems like weird.
And aren't there risks?
And like, what if these platforms get hacked?
And like, It's such a huge pain operationally and accounting-wise and all of that.
But yeah, I lost that argument, I guess.
I'm now very glad that whole summer, for me, a lot of it was just about...
Yeah, readjusting my expectations and being open to whatever happens.
I think every week or so, something weirder than the previous week would happen.
And I was like, okay.
I just like mentally you know adjusted myself to you know okay we're farming comp uh and then it's like oh now we're farming these things that are like foods and then now we're farming these like whatever weird like meta food things I don't know yeah I feel like I did manage to get Yeah, I get away from my initial skepticism and embracing the mindset of like, great, I'm going to like go out and look for like whatever, like the weirdest, dumbest thing people are talking about today.
And like, that's going to be the thing I'm working on today.
So that also sounds like an Ativan case to me personally.
So in conclusion, Any crypto that has a CEO is going to end up like this, at zero.
And that goes for Ethereum and all these other things.
And so it's very good that this happens.
We need to get all of this out.
It's going to be years and years of people talking about the corruption and the money laundering for the Democrat Party, and this is how they're going to create crypto regulation, whatever.
The interesting thing here is that, in my opinion, these children are abuse victims by their parents, willing abuse victims to facilitate money laundering, illegal campaign finance, and all kinds of other shenanigans.
And I think these people are so evil, they're going to let their kids take the rap for it.
Ah, of course.
I would say that if these guys were that sharp, they could have ferreted away something.
Um... Yeah, but they're going to... Someone's going to jail for this.
I would hope so.
But it should be their parents.
They're the ones that set them up.
Well, that's never going to happen because the parents are... You know, this is the plausible deniability thing, you know?
Yeah, well... It's like your hands... Hey, I didn't do that.
I think it's child abuse.
Not me!
I didn't do that.
What are you talking about?
What are you looking at me for?
He's a grown man.
SBF needs CPS.
So, the parents are... No, the parents are just...
Anyway, let's hire some good attorneys and see what happens.
It's fun to watch the crypto meltdown.
Because it's just starting.
Well, I got kind of a kick at it, but I didn't follow it close enough.
I mean, JC did a bit more than I did because he knew the guy or met the guy in the early going before he did any of this stuff.
He was arrogant because of his arrogant-ass parents.
No, he was extremely over-the-top arrogant to the point where he could sit on stage with Tony Blair and Clinton in his beat-up t-shirt that looks like it needed washing, a pair of shorts, hairy-ass legs.
I got hairy legs!
I'm telling you, this guy is on the spectrum.
They're all on the spectrum.
It's a colony of spectras.
And the parents put him up to it and let him go, and it's great, go ahead, son.
No, he's not, I don't think he's, it's arrogant, he's on the spectrum, he's autistic.
Look at the guy, he's been programmed.
I mean, I'm probably the only person who's taking his defense in this, but to me it's like, wow, this guy's got, just look at everything he's done.
He's, he is autistic!
And so is Bill Gates.
Yeah, but Bill... Okay.
But this guy, this is 25 year old.
With parents who should know better.
Well, I guess you're right.
I'm sorry.
It's Bill Gates.
He has parents who should know better.
That's right.
There you go.
So, okay.
Perfect.
Well, that's all we need is another one of those.
But Bill Gates is not going to go to jail anytime soon.
No, that's for sure.
He's going to... He's been building jails.
Just the opposite with him.
That guy's so smart.
He knows what he's doing.
So that's, I think, I mean, there are a lot of conspiracy theories, but it's really not that interesting.
It's just, it was all a scam.
It's always been a scam.
I'm sure more than a few Democrats are happier than lambs to be getting that free money.
Yeah.
And then there's people like Tom Brady, the famous quarterback married to Gisele Bundchen until she dropped him.
She ditched him.
Yeah, you know why?
You know why?
It's because he lost all his money in FTX.
She's like, mm-mm, bye.
I don't think he invested a single dime in it, personally.
He probably got some stock or some tokens.
I don't think he, like, brought it on ready, lost $650 million.
Yeah, I don't think so.
He probably did a bunch of free work for him.
No, stock, tokens.
Which is the way it works.
And got stock that jacked up and it was, yeah, okay.
But apparently, Sequoia... What he did is wasted his time, is what happened.
Now he has a bad reputation.
Sequoia Capital put $200 million in.
BlackRock put $200 million in.
Ontario Teachers Association, $500 million.
Those guys all deserve to lose the money.
Yeah.
I agree.
I agree.
I mean, a guy like that comes into your office and is asking for 200 million bucks, and you give it to him?
You deserve to lose the money!
Have you seen, like, the VC notes about his pitch?
No, I haven't.
I'd like to know what his pitch is.
It must be very interesting.
Well, apparently during the pitch, he just sat there playing a video game on his laptop, which they only noticed later with his, you know, with his leg ticking up and down the whole time and wasn't even interested in answering questions.
And this impressed these venture capitalists to no end.
Like, am I seeing the next trillionaire?
This guy is so badass.
He's just playing Call of Duty while during the pitch, he doesn't... This guy is a genius!
You know, this reminds me of the scene from Office Space, where the guy's hypnotized and won't answer any questions, he doesn't give a crap, and he goes into the consultants...
And just kind of, yeah, I don't know, I don't do anything.
You know, he just stoned out of his gourd with you.
He's been hypnotized, actually, but he acts like he's stoned.
And they think he's a genius!
You know, for... It's the same thing, exactly!
This guy makes me think of, and I've been trying to find him, and I know I have his name wrong, and hopefully the troll room will help me.
Do you remember the crazy guy who was the last guy to try and save Yahoo with his creative pitch?
Shangy or Shanky with the huge spiked hair.
Remember that nut job?
So there was a lot of nut jobs.
No, no, but he had like a mohawk and was crazy and was all the way out.
And people were like, oh, this guy's the genius.
He's going to save Yahoo.
He knows what he's doing.
Vaguely, vaguely.
It was Shaggy, Shaggy, come on people.
Somebody in this chat room will know.
Shaggy, Shaggy, I'm so angry.
Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shaggy, Shag

Look it up.
David Shing.
Shingy.
That's it.
This guy, he was going to save Yahoo.
And all he did was put on a jeans jacket, made his hair crazy, and looked interesting.
And used big words like intentionality.
You seeing him?
Remember this guy?
I'm sure he used stakeholder.
I'm sure he did.
stakeholder.
I'm sure he did.
Stakeholder.
Oh, yeah.
Well, there you go.
Vague.
Oh, I did want to I wanted to play one more thing about Russia because I forgot this clip.
Well, we don't have to play it, but it seems that Russia is trying to get the bricks together and add more people.
Yeah, it's a good move on their part.
I mean, they could literally have half of the world's resources.
Do you know Garland Nixon?
No.
He has a talk show.
Listen to this.
This is him just spouting off, but I think he knows a lot about this.
I'd never heard of this guy, but I listened to this clip like, crap, this is pretty good.
Russia is involved in the military aspect of the war, but there is a diplomatic slash political aspect that Russia and China are involved in the war.
In the diplomatic, in the political, diplomatic part of this war, Russia and China are fighting together.
And they have taken Africa, they've taken South America, they just took Vietnam the other day.
I mean, if you're talking about taking Kherson or taking, you know, Severodonetsk or whatever, if you talk about it with the same terms politically and diplomatically, just Vietnam, the US wanted bases there.
So Russia, recently, there were articles, I did a video on them, Mali, Niger, Haiti, Nigeria, I mean, country after country, the protesters were flying Russian and Chinese flags, which is their kind of way to give the finger to the US and say, we've chosen sides.
They've taken Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia say it's going to BRICS.
Let's be honest.
They've taken Turkey, Russia said, Hey, how would you like to make a lot of money off of, uh, you know, your economy's not doing so well, you know, you can make a lot of money with gas.
And everyone said, I'm in.
So if they, you hold a military town here and you hold someone in place so you can take a town over here, what if you hold the military?
Strong points in the military so that you can diplomatically and politically take country after country, region after region till it gets to the point.
Saudi Arabia is the big prize.
I think Saudi Arabia is the big diplomatic economic prize because if you're looking at creating A some kind of a new currency based on a basket of commodities, Venezuela, Russia, and Saudi Arabia on the same team.
That's game set and match.
And Saudi Arabia has the petrodollar.
At that point, the neocons are looking over here at Ukraine or wherever and you are just snatching their economic heart out, going for that petrodollar.
Right now, that's the big one.
And that's lost because the Saudi Arabian leaders despise Joe Biden.
So I think they are not...
Disconnecting these, and they're saying we'll take this town and this town, but we'll take this country, this region, Middle East, what can we get here?
You know, there's a battle for Pakistan, so I see them all as one, and I see the Russia-China, maybe Russia-China-India, interestingly enough, strange bedfellows, India and China, as a partner, but You know, India had a lot of issues with China.
I think Russia's working hard to mend fences there.
And really, India has no choice, because India aspires to be a world power.
And they're saying, holy moly, look what is happening to these other countries when they aspire to be a world power, the US takes them out.
And five, 10 years from now, when we get on that footing, they're going to take us out.
India has no choice but to join that coalition.
Regardless of their issues with China, they know that they're next on the menu.
That's pretty meta view.
Yeah, you know, he's a little out of control, this guy.
Of course.
One thing, the Saudis are never flipping over because they're too afraid of Iran and their nukes and what they're going to do.
And Russia is really tight with Iran.
And we have the intelligence capabilities to keep that from happening.
And we have the intelligence capabilities to keep a lot of what he says from happening, including India.
And so I don't expect.
What does that mean?
That means we're connected.
The intelligence agencies of the Saudis and ours are very close.
I understand.
I understand that.
But what what will the intelligence agency do?
So they operate now all together and they stop politics.
Is that how the intelligence agencies work?
I think they're guided a little more than this guy likes to believe.
What he says, his view of things is not right.
I think it's, I think what is right that Russia could set up shop with the Chinese, the Iranians and South America and lots of other discrepant areas and create a petroleum-based economy that just kick ass until we get our act together and figure out that this green thing's not working out.
Until we get our batteries.
There's no doubt about that.
Yeah, that's the part that I like.
Until we get our battery technology improved.
We'll be fine.
Don't worry about it, you guys.
That's almost like MTV saying, go ahead, have MTV.com.
We've got the AOL keyword.
That's pretty much what we're doing right now.
Yeah, that's exactly the right analogy.
I do want to play this clip, which is USA forces in Somalia.
We have troops in Africa.
The U.S.
airstrike on Somali al-Shabaab terrorists has killed at least 17 insurgents.
The U.S.
Africa Command says U.S.
forces hit the militants in response to a request by the Somali government.
Isma Fundikwa has more.
U.S.
forces have been back in the region since May after President Joe Biden reversed the Trump-ordered withdrawal.
They have since carried out several airstrikes on al-Shabaab.
The insurgents, who want to establish a Sharia law based government in Somalia, have been carrying out deadly attacks on government forces and civilians since 2006.
Last month, twin car explosions outside the education ministry in Mogadishu, the capital, left at least 116 people dead.
The blasts occurred around the same place as Somalia's largest bombing in October 2017, which killed more than 500 people.
The lack of reporting from the U.S.
media is staggering.
Yeah, it is.
It's staggering.
They don't care about anything except Trump.
I mean, even the New York Times?
Have they done anything on this?
Has anyone at least made an effort?
No, nobody cares.
It's really unbelievable.
It really is.
I mean, I think this story could be played up in some ways, but they won't do it because it's kind of an embarrassment to the Biden administration.
Come on, you can spin a story to paint it on Trump.
Well, this is the amusement park story in Afghanistan.
Well, hold on a second.
In this on Trump, I don't think you can do it.
Okay.
In Afghanistan, the interim Taliban government has banned women from entering amusement parks in the capital, Kabul.
The Taliban have been tightening restrictions on women's rights since taking power in August last year.
A Taliban official told NHK that women cannot enter such parks even if they're with their children or other family members.
The official cited recent cases in which women were seen improperly wearing hijab headscarves at amusement parks.
A park in central Kabul was deserted on Saturday and most of the rides were not in use.
This all started when Trump called Megyn Kelly, like, you know, bleeding out of her wherever.
So it's totally Trump's fault.
Well, maybe.
But this idea that there's amusement parks out there, which there's really, they don't like that.
What?
Amusement park?
So there's nobody at the park now.
Who goes to a park without, you're not going to go with a bunch of guys.
Let's go, guys.
Dude, Sausage Fest Park, everybody.
Woo!
It's not going to work.
Those things are doomed.
I did hear in there a little bit about women's rights and I got a nice note from producer Jeff about the origins of reproductive freedom which seems to be the new term instead of what was it?
Reproductive health care.
Right to choice.
Reproductive health care is what it was previously now it's reproductive freedom and Jeff says There was a California bill titled the Reproductive Freedom, Accountability, Comprehensive Care, and Transparency Act, drafted with Planned Parenthood, enforced by two successive state attorneys, Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra.
It actually was passed and then it went to the Supreme Court and it was overturned.
Probably not for the name, but he says that is where the genesis of the term reproductive freedom.
So it is a California invention, I guess.
Well, like I said, the reason for it is because you can't go with Dead babies.
Because these guys are all in on no choice for the vaccine.
You can't have one and not the other.
I can have one and not the other.
So that had to be eliminated from the lexicon.
So now it's reproductive freedom.
And it incorporates the word freedom.
It's a genius.
The Democrats have meetings to create these terms and they do a much better job than the Republicans do.
Every so often the Republicans do something mega.
Sounds terrible.
Sounds like a dog taking a shit.
MAGA.
It's just no good.
Okay.
Can I use that as the opening?
Because that is just dynamite.
That'll get us a lot of friends, too.
Make a lot of friends.
Like a dog taking a shit.
My dog doesn't sound like a MAGA.
No.
Also, the other thing that Deutsche Welle picked this one up, Tigray, this little battle going on in Ethiopia is supposed to be over.
I got a clip on that.
There's even more?
There's even more stuff going on in Africa that we're not being told about?
Yeah, Tigray.
Over or not, but even though this is a vague report, this report's no good either because it doesn't really conclude anything.
Warring parties in Ethiopia have signed a deal allowing humanitarian supplies into the war-torn Tigray region.
Earlier, the government and Israeli commanders agreed to end a long-running civil conflict.
Ethiopia says aid is reaching the region, but opposing forces dispute the claim.
It's great.
I mean, thank you for letting us know that this is happening in the world.
We can talk about it on television.
America's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Van Damme.
Well, first let's do this.
I got this one clip I gotta get out of the way.
Yeah.
Camelot giving a speech to the vets.
Okay.
And this is live mic.
The audience is mic'd.
They show the audience and they have them there and stand there looking at her like she's an idiot.
And she's going on and on and she flubs in the middle and then you hear the results of this fine speech.
Back when I was Attorney General of California and then as the United States Senator, we fought to protect the health and well-being of our veterans and service members.
And as vice president, I am proud to serve alongside one of the greatest, greatest, greatest champions of our nation's warriors, our president, Joe Biden.
Nothing like tepid applause. applause.
No.
That's very funny.
Yeah, I love that.
Did you hear her?
She's been going off on this Venn diagram thing, man.
Have you heard the... I didn't get it.
It came in this morning, but there's a really good clip coming.
I thought you might have it, which is where she pulls out the 18 to 24 years old demo.
No.
Oh, okay.
It'll be for the next show.
Oh, no, I have this one.
I love Venn diagrams.
I really do.
I love Venn diagrams.
It's just something about those three circles and the analysis about where there is the intersection, right?
Yeah, I see people... You agree with me, right?
So, okay.
So I asked my team.
I brought props.
She asked my... I asked my team.
I just love Venn diagrams.
Make me another Venn diagram.
What are we drinking?
Nothing special.
Just polar.
100% natural seltzer.
Ant, how is it?
Well, let's see.
Hold it closer to the mic if you want me to hear the pour.
I'm gonna splash the mic if I'm any closer.
Alright.
Drink!
It could be colder.
I'm gonna show my sport by donating to No Agenda.

It's easy to find one.
Particularly if you think you're weird, introverted, whatever, you're gonna be loved, you'll be adored.
If you can't find one near you, start one yourself!
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Drink it all, hell, flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
Like a party.
I have one note, which is rather sad for the show.
Mwah.
Sad.
Please read.
No, actually, it's of note, I should say.
A clip of note, which is sad, because this person will be missed.
And at the end of this very newsy week, I have some news of my own to share.
After a decade as anchor of this extraordinary program, I've decided that the end of 2022 is the right time to turn this incredibly important job over to someone else.
I am then going to undertake a very exciting new project with the NewsHour for the next couple of years, one we are calling America at a Crossroads.
So she got fired.
She's overdue to go.
I mean, she was a lackey for the Democrat Party.
Ever since Gwen Ifill died, unfortunately, the whole show went woke.
Hey, do you think that it's appropriate for anyone to say it's been a very newsy week?
It just doesn't feel right to me.
It's newsy.
It's been a very newsy week.
What do you have for ISOs?
I only have one.
Very sad.
Here it is.
I only have one, two.
Play yours.
I love Venn diagrams.
Ay yi yi.
Can you compete?
I can't compete because I think for end of show this would be great.
This is the ISO of the clap.
No... Produced with a fade out.
No, that's...
There's a show, they're clapping for us.
Our show doesn't fade out.
Our show ends hard.
Our show ends with the mic drop.
I'm going to have to practice it now because you're calling my expertise into question here.
Let me see.
So we always end with that.
So I would have to add the clap in there.
Huh?
No.
Veto that.
Oh!
You dog!
You're calling me a dog?
I let you have every single art argument.
Everything.
Oh, bullcrap.
Everything.
Alright, do the same thing when I hear the mic drop with the Venn diagram thing.
Oh man, this is gonna kick such hard ass.
Okay, alright.
You want the pain?
You want the pain of how good this is gonna sound?
I love Venn diagrams.
See, boom.
End of show.
Done.
Okay.
I'm sorry, I just don't find a five-second clap.
It's not compelling.
I don't mean anything.
Okay, now you win again.
Do you have any final clips or is that it?
Uh, yeah, there's a good clip that we should make everyone aware of.
This is the fentanyl, the latest fentanyl bullcrap.
This is getting out of control.
I blame China, I blame Mexico, I blame Joe Biden for this.
The deadly opioid fentanyl is reaching a new market.
Young people disguised as pills that look like Xanax, Percocet, Adderall, and other common medications.
For member station WBUR, Martha Berbinger has more.
Ed Ternan of Pasadena, California is among the parents spreading warnings about these fake, potentially lethal pills.
Ternan lost his son Charlie, age 22, to a counterfeit Percocet.
There are all kinds of things that we worry about as parents.
Kids playing in the street, maybe, or a chronic illness, or distracted driving.
But taking a single pill and finding out that that decision cost our son or daughter their life is a shock to the system.
Ternan urges parents to talk to their children about what he calls Fenta Pills.
The message, in short, don't take a pill from anyone but your doctor.
Because that's so safe.
Yeah, Scott Adams has kind of the right idea about this.
He says we should send the military into Mexico and rouse the cartels and end it.
I would agree with that.
I like that idea.
Not gonna happen.
We've had wars with Mexico before, it's always possible.
No, no, Mexico would have to work with us, they'd have to comply.
Wow, well that's it for... We got some great end of show mixes for y'all today.
Let's see, we have... Tom Starkweather, Neil Jones, Sir Michael Anthony, and Rolando Gonzalez from Dallas.
And we look forward to... Um... Oh!
Noah Jenner stream, up next.
Yes, it's live.
Fletcher and Blaney's Music Jams and Poetry Slams.
Keep it right here at TrollRoom.io.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody.
I am Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley...
Where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Thursday, right here on New Agenda.
Until then, adios mofo!
And such.
Oh, and hoo-wee-hoo-wee.
Listen up!
This is your mayor.
We ain't have no red waves.
That's why y'all still got the blues.
Why y'all keep voting for Democrats?
Y'all seen the price of gas and the crime stats.
New Yorkers ain't nothing but bad rats.
But you keep voting blue, so we do what we do.
Why y'all keep voting for Democrats?
Y'all seen the price of gas and the crime stats.
We do.
It's so easy.
It ain't space.
We have a French woman dropping our second black layer.
We so woke, now woke to spare.
Checking all the boxes.
We don't care.
We're making deals behind the scenes.
We spend your money on drag queens.
We fight for more quarantine.
We don't know what the world constitution means.
Why don't people if a Democrat?
We all see the price of gas and the crisis.
We don't contain nothing but that.
But you keep throwing blue, so we do what we do.
Why don't people if a Democrat?
We all see the price of gas and the crisis.
We don't contain nothing but that.
But you keep throwing blue, so we do what we do.
We don't contain nothing but that.
The election is not over yet, y'all.
So it's still anyone's guess who could come out on top of this one.
Tonight, with votes still being counted in Arizona, some voters here are angry and suspicious that the results aren't in.
That's right, no doubt about it.
These new numbers show incredibly tight races in Nevada, Arizona, and right here in Los Angeles.
You know, we don't have this kind of system now, where the returns come in on the night of.
Yeah, it's strange, right?
We might sound like broken records this morning, but several races still way too close to call.
We actually use poker chips, and each poker chip has the name of a voting location.
They're put into a hat.
An election denier is now spreading vague conspiracy theories, accusing election officials of trying to slow roll the vote counting.
We're still working with the full staff.
There's another facility.
That we use as well, that the county has obtained for us.
That's where our cure hotline is.
The batches of those have been selected over the past few weeks by the political parties.
So that is part of the magic of the hand count audit.
It's actually done by representatives of the political parties.
I feel like we're cracking the seal on you right now.
Decision Desk has just revised its estimate for where the house will land and look at this.
And I would stress the margin for error here is plus or minus four seats.
So the house very much in play according to our model.
Let's start with just how concerned parents should be about these viruses.
I mean, the big question a lot of parents are asking, how concerned should they be about this right now?
Should?
Health officials are warning this morning about a growing threat of a so-called triple-demic.
That is people getting sick from the flu, COVID, and a seasonal virus that mostly affects kids.
It's called RSV.
How do you tell the difference if you are a parent between the flu and COVID and RSV?
Well, that's the thing, Kristen, that's so, you know, challenging, is that the symptoms are pretty much indistinguishable.
Triple Deming.
Triple Deming.
It's a phrase that we're hearing.
Can you explain that?
What that means?
So that means that we have to keep our eyes on multiple pathogens, multiple respiratory viruses at the same time.
You still need to see a behavioral health specialist to help you unpack what are all the details, what are the triggers?
So to think that every human on the planet can take one vaccine is ludicrous.
Food and Drug Administration expanded eligibility today for the new COVID-19 boosters to include children as young as five.
They announced that children should be routinely screened for mental health issues as early as eight years old.
I will not inject a poisonous substance into my body, point blank.
So why are you not telling parents this?
We must fight even harder to protect the sanctity of freedom for all.
You will not mask us like she just talked about doing.
You will not quarantine the well or the sick.
You will not keep our kids out of school.
I'm damn right you're not going to cripple our businesses anymore.
Do you hear me?
We will never lock down again.
This is the hill we die on because this is America.
This is the Constitution of America and this is freaking freedom.
