	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	Sunday, November 26, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1611.
	This is no agenda.
	Reading PDFs so you don't have to end.
	That is over.
	It's over.
	Goodbye.
	the heart of the Texas whole country here in FEMA region number 60 in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where everybody's cutting Ukraine loose I'm John C. Dvorak It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning Oh yeah that's over That is over It's over Goodbye I think we luckily caught the Richard Haas Yeah.
	Moment on Morning Joe.
	Yeah, that was it.
	That was the giveaway.
	Which was to signify, to tell these people.
	It's over.
	The ones that take the orders.
	Yes, like Morning Joe.
	Morning Joe, right at the top of the list.
	Cut it out.
	Done.
	It's over.
	I mean, you saw the articles that there's some secret agreement between the U.S.
	and Germany that insiders are talking about.
	I think, was it Bildt who had that article?
	Well, even better is I have a series of these clips.
	Oh, he comes prepared.
	Which I retrieved.
	He comes prepared.
	Okay.
	About Boris Johnson.
	Ah, the warmonger, the peace spoiler.
	And this was, I think because this is getting out, it hasn't hit, it's not mainstream media USA, but it's around the world.
	Well, you should probably set it up a little and explain what we, because we've talked about this several times just so people understand.
	It's been discussed.
	Yeah, but so people really understand what's happening here, what happened.
	It's going to be explained in these clips.
	Well, that's even better.
	Boris Johnson kills, peace deal won.
	And turning to the conflict in Ukraine, where a top official in Kiev claims a peace deal with Moscow could have been reached last year.
	But the UK leader at the time, Boris Johnson, rejected the talks, insisting that the Ukrainians continue to fight.
	In my opinion, the Russians really believed until the very end that they could have pressed us so we would accept neutrality.
	This was the main thing for them.
	They were ready to end the war if we accepted neutrality, like Finland once did, and that we make a commitment to not join NATO.
	When we returned from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kiev and said that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just continue fighting.
	This is the first time that a senior Ukrainian official, a very close associate of President Zelensky, and someone who was on the negotiation team from Ukraine, coming out and saying that these rumors were indeed true, that a peace agreement was almost in place.
	That Russia demanded chiefly neutrality, that Ukraine wouldn't join NATO, and that is why there was this push towards Kiev to pressure Ukrainian authorities.
	And then he confirmed something that many others have said since, that Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, himself came to Kiev and he said, don't do it.
	Don't sign a peace agreement with the Russians.
	Continue with the war.
	And that was the turning point, allegedly, after which President Zelensky came out and said total war until they reach Ukraine's borders.
	Templates 1991.
	You know, Boris Johnson doing that.
	And then, of course, he was no longer prime minister.
	Right after that, because of the covid scandals.
	It's a bit like when I told Joe Rogan to move to Austin and then he moved and I was gone.
	And he's like, what are all these tents everywhere?
	He moved us and you were gone.
	I was in the Hill Country.
	You're getting him to move there as you're leaving.
	Here, buy my place.
	Yeah, buy my place.
	We're $20 million.
	It's worth it.
	Come on.
	What do you think?
	There must have been some more Some more in the deal there for Boris Johnson.
	He didn't just go say, hey, don't sign it.
	He must have said, hey, don't sign it.
	Here's some numbers.
	If you happen to be in Switzerland, they'll come in handy.
	There may be something like that.
	None of it's really fully explained in these clips.
	I have a lot of them, though, because it goes really kind of brings out some details that we have not heard that I at least that I know of.
	In fact, I have most of my clips today are about stuff I didn't know about.
	But let's go to part two and there's a WTF moment here.
	Since then, there has been a tremendous loss of life.
	Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers killed, injured, huge swaths of the country.
	Devastated and now they're talking about negotiations again.
	Again, the first time that a senior Ukrainian official Has come out and shared those details.
	And this comes at a time when in many publications around the world and from officials, from senior officials in Europe, in America, we're hearing the word peace negotiations, the words peace negotiations more and more.
	Something that seemingly was anathema at the start of 2023 when there were these these hopes that Ukraine could achieve victory through military It means, at this point, it is important to mention that, at this time, any calls for peace negotiations in Ukraine are punishable by law.
	Peace negotiations with Russia are banned by law, a decree signed by Zelensky.
	Did you know that?
	No, of course not!
	Well, you know, Zelensky cancelled elections, he banned the church... That's what democracy looks like!
	And now there's this little element, I can't find a reference to it.
	I can't say that I tried too hard.
	Whose news reporting is this?
	This is RT.
	So they're going to be slanted, but generally speaking with stuff like this, their fact checking is not bad.
	So I have to assume that's true.
	Which would account for the lack of protests and people saying she's fired.
	No kidding.
	There's like been no protests in Ukraine.
	That's interesting.
	That's fishy in and of itself because there's tons of protests in Tel Aviv.
	Oh yeah, we got some of that later for sure.
	There's a bunch of protesting going on in Tel Aviv but yet there's no... In front of Bibi's home even.
	Last month Ukraine passed a law prohibiting peace negotiations with Russia.
	It's not exactly the same thing?
	It may be in that law that you can't talk about it.
	Yeah, well that's part, good, because I got some Don't Talk About It stuff coming up after your series here.
	This is good stuff.
	Alright, well here we go at part three.
	Zelensky himself, nevertheless, this is a critical admission, perhaps, a turning point, because many Ukrainians who have lost relatives, who have lost loved ones, who have been forced to flee, the hundreds of thousands of men who are abroad, in Europe, in Russia, all over the world, trying to dodge the draft in Ukraine, the mobilization.
	They will ask the question, well if it was that simple, was it worth it?
	Was it worth it, continuing with the war, condemning hundreds of thousands to death when all that Zelensky had to do was sign a peace agreement guaranteeing neutrality?
	Look, so now the conversation drifts over to another little factoid I was unaware of, and I'll explain because it's not really explained in this clip, but go to clip four where they bring on one of their new analysts, Tara Reade.
	Tara Reade, she went from accuser of Joe Biden of sexual assault to podcaster to podcaster in Russia.
	To now RT correspondent?
	Here we go.
	And earlier my colleague Ro Ristochet spoke with the former US Senate staff member Tara Reid on the choices that Ukraine has had to make.
	The chain of events was this.
	They went to Turkey to negotiate this peace agreement towards the end of March.
	And then in April, Boris Johnson trotted down to Kiev and put a stop to it and said, you are absolutely not going to do this for two reasons.
	He gave two reasons.
	His reasons were the West doesn't want this war to end and you can't back down to Vladimir Putin.
	That was his position.
	And Kiev, of course, being, you know, the vassals that they are for the United States in this proxy war, NATO is fighting against Russia via Ukraine, capitulated and said, OK, the war continues.
	Now you've lost a generation of Ukrainian men as a result, a peace that could have been achieved.
	Now, this all came out in even Ukrainian press in the summer.
	And in May and July, you saw some independent journalists covering that Boris Johnson put a stop to this.
	But it didn't get any lift in some of the major... Oh, shock and horror, Tara.
	You're telling me the mainstream media wouldn't report this?
	Right.
	But honestly though, right?
	I mean, look, Boris Johnson, he goes to Kiev, he scuppers these talks.
	He scuttled the talks.
	This could have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
	Tara, why do you think, why do you think, because for such a long time now, we've heard the Western political and media landscape saying Russia doesn't want to talk peace.
	Russia won't negotiate.
	And yet, if you look at it now, it seems that what Zelensky's advisor is saying right now flies right in the face of that narrative that Russia was actually willing to sit at the peace table.
	but the UK, Boris Johnson, they scuttled the talks.
	Now, just so I understand, when Russia was ready to talk, they were saying we'll just keep status.
	Had they not already taken that territory?
	Or were they going to just let it be wherever it was?
	I think they were going to just let it be.
	And it was just going to be, hey, as long as you promise not to... Why would Russia even take those terms?
	They know that we're not good for it.
	Come on.
	You mean based on James Baker years ago, our top guy telling Russia, hey, don't worry about it, we're never going to move our NATO people further east, and we just kept doing it?
	Hey man, we didn't put it in writing, okay?
	If it's not in writing, it doesn't count seas.
	So, yeah, that's not fully explained, but the Tara Reade thing is interesting, and I'll tell you why, which is something I didn't know.
	She defected!
	She's now a Russian!
	Yes, and you know who brought her there?
	He's the redhead.
	The redhead who... Right, the redhead, yeah, the Russian spy girl.
	Not the original redhead, but the one that was integrated within the Republican Party, Patrick Byrne.
	He, it was his girlfriend for a while.
	Yeah.
	The Overstock guy.
	That's, that's who...
	It's great.
	So Tara Reade, who makes a credible accusation against Biden being a creep.
	Gee, we never noticed that before.
	And she gets rebuked by the Republicans, I'm sorry, by the Democrats.
	And I guess she gets so many threats and she gives up on the idea of actually, you know, becoming, you know, a whistleblower about Biden being a creep.
	And she ends up going, defecting to Russia.
	Well, just so you understand, she went to Russia to speak.
	She was invited to speak.
	And then she got word from, and she was cagey about it, because I heard a whole interview with her.
	I think it was actually a Megyn Kelly interviewed her, of all people.
	And she said, yeah, I'm getting word that if I go back to America, I will be arrested immediately.
	So that's why she stayed.
	And that's when she was, you know, like Snowden, was given a Russian passport.
	Well, she was definitely cajoled.
	Good word.
	But to me, the irony is that she starts off, you know, calling out Biden for being a masher.
	And then so she's like the woman scorned.
	She goes to Russia.
	Now all she does is do reports on RT about what a jackass Biden is.
	This is kind of the key to these things.
	And she's just like a nightmare.
	It's pretty interesting though, you know, that she's a... Totally uncovered by the buyer press.
	Well, hello!
	It's like nobody knows any of this.
	You know that she's disinformation!
	Yeah, so... Wow, that's good.
	So this is all unraveling, so I think they have to pull the plug on this whole thing.
	Well, hold on a second.
	So do you think they have to pull the plug because of this?
	Or because it's just hopeless and the European countries, the American people, no one wants to support this anymore.
	I mean, it can't just be because it's unraveling because now we're finding out that Boris Johnson went there to stop the peace deal.
	No, I think this is an element, I think this is the straw that broke the camel's back.
	There's still the money laundering issues, there's the corruption issues, there's all the stuff going on, and this coming out making it... Yeah, that's true.
	Because we're whining and moaning and groaning about one thing or another and now it turns out this could have been peace a year ago, it would have saved American taxpayers Billions?
	And you've got mainstream comedians making jokes now on Netflix about Hunter Biden's corrupt Ukraine deals.
	It's so common knowledge now.
	No one believes any of it anymore.
	Or it's not credible.
	You know, the whole reasons for it is just not credible.
	The credibility issue with the mainstream media is at an all-time low.
	One of the reports, I was listening to something in our clips that will be at the end of the show, where the CDC is moaning about 15% uptake in COVID vaccine boosters.
	15% of the American public is taking the booster.
	It's more than I expected, honestly.
	Well, that's about what I expected.
	Actually, I expected a little more than 15.
	But the point is, is that the word has gotten out.
	And it's in contradiction to what the mainstream media is saying.
	Take your shot.
	Hey, even masking.
	I mean, six months ago, everyone agreed.
	Yeah, masks don't work.
	And they're just back to telling you to mask up.
	Okay.
	Well, the 15% of the, I feel sorry for those, the 15% of the people that just believe everything.
	So let's go with, I think we're on clip four.
	No, we're on clip five.
	Clip five.
	As a matter of fact, in June of this last year, Vladimir Putin, President Putin had showed the actual document of how Russia was withdrawing troops from Kiev and trying to, you know, meet with this accord, this peace accord that they'd made.
	They asked for two things.
	They wanted neutrality from Ukraine.
	It's the same thing they asked from Finland, right?
	They wanted neutrality and they wanted not to join NATO.
	And these were the two demands.
	And of course, we all know what happened.
	Everything did not unfold that way and Boris Johnson intervened.
	Now Boris Johnson was acting on the behalf of the US as well as the UK.
	And this has to do with money.
	This has to do with profits.
	Here we go.
	The Western military industrial machine.
	You had these weapons manufacturers that have made almost a trillion dollars since the conflict has begun.
	In fact, there was a recent call with some of these Western manufacturers, weapons manufacturers, Lockheed Martin and so on, talking about the profits that they've made.
	So it's just been really horrible.
	Look, they just sent the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to Kiev a few days ago.
	The former UK PM Cameron was there as well.
	He's going to be some sort of peace envoy, whatever.
	But Austin was there, and I was thinking, you know what?
	Why did they send America's biggest defense secretary there?
	Why?
	Because I think they sent him there to tell Zelensky, look, here's more money, but you know what?
	It's over.
	Because here's what we keep seeing, Tara.
	In the Western media and the political landscape, they keep talking about this stalemate in Ukraine.
	Oh, it's a stalemate.
	It's not going anywhere.
	Nobody's won.
	It's over.
	You know, it's almost, it's almost like I would, I would prefer to be corruption of the Biden crime family than the military-industrial complex.
	If it really truly is just because of the military-industrial complex who wanted the trillion dollars after we pulled out of Afghanistan, that's really sad.
	The same guys who, was it now 3.8 trillion they can't locate?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	It's somewhere.
	I just can't understand why they can't audit the Pentagon.
	It just makes no sense at this point.
	Because they're afraid.
	Because everybody's on the take.
	You can chop it into pieces and audit it.
	There's no reason you can't do it.
	We have plenty of accountants looking for work.
	Everybody's on the take.
	Or they're blackmailed in some other nefarious way.
	Don't you think?
	There's got to be some reason.
	I think this is the last clip.
	Ukraine has lost.
	There's no stalemate anywhere across the board.
	Yeah.
	The West is not supplying the shells anymore.
	They haven't got the weapons to send anymore.
	They don't have the money to send anymore.
	Meantime, Russia continues to make pro- stalemate.
	There is no stalemate.
	Hello, Western press, if you're listening.
	There is no stalemate.
	How is this going to wrap up?
	How much longer?
	Look, we've got Biden, we've got the presidential election next year.
	Of course, the political establishment wants to maintain the image that Ukraine's winning, that they will win, that Russia will lose.
	How are we going to get around this just in time for the election, do you think?
	Well, I think the hawks are going to try to keep it going just a little bit longer because that's the military.
	You know, that's where they make their money.
	But bear in mind, too, there's the money laundering issue, right?
	That's all coming to light in Congress.
	All of the things that were happening with Ukraine and the money laundering that has to do with the politicians that are involved.
	And so they're trying to do duck and cover, and people are kind of taking each other out.
	So it's going to be really interesting to see how the movement towards the negotiations towards peace goes.
	But right now, Russia's in a position where they don't have to negotiate.
	They've been denazifying, moving steadily, as you said.
	And the tragedy is that a generation of Ukrainian men are dead.
	Hey, I gotta say, Tara Reid talks a good game.
	She's not bad as an analyst.
	She sounds like a pro.
	Like a pro, yeah.
	I didn't realize.
	I mean, she'd be doing those podcasts, you know, that warms her up.
	Yeah, she'd do podcasting, it'll make you a pro.
	Okay, now there's a bumper sticker.
	Podcasting will make you a pro.
	I think CNN is already starting to move the conversation about Ukraine, how Ukraine will win.
	It's no longer about the big money.
	Remember Zelensky?
	Just give me credit, man!
	Just give me credit!
	40 billions of credit!
	Give me credit!
	No, we're not giving you credit.
	You've got 100 million.
	Here, shut up.
	No, I think they're moving towards the Eric Schmidt solution.
	But elsewhere tonight in Ukraine, there is no end in sight to the fighting.
	This week, an irritated Russian president, President Putin, rejected the obvious, that Russia is pursuing a brutal war of aggression in Ukraine.
	CNN has been tracking stories of sacrifice that are happening there, and Anicorn reports on the ordinary men and women who are now teaming up with drone operators to fight back for their country.
	Here you go, drone operators.
	On the outskirts of Quay, the soldier puts on a pair of goggles.
	She's part of a unit testing the latest batch of drones that have just arrived.
	Some work.
	Some don't.
	But this is the place to find out, before they're delivered to Ukrainian troops on the eastern and southern fronts.
	Some of these drones are from civilians, produced in homes on kitchen tables.
	They can be used for reconnaissance or assault missions.
	Alright, right there I'm already really sceptical.
	Okay, so now civilians are at home at kitchen tables making drones that can carry payloads that can blow stuff up.
	Yes, I found, I heard this story too and I found it very, it's like I didn't even, I didn't clip anything about it because it just seemed ludicrous.
	This is like the Chinese back in the 50s or 60s having steel mills in everyone's backyard.
	Well they did have smelters, they had smelters.
	They had a pot of molten stuff, it was useless.
	This is the same thing.
	This is useless.
	This is a grassroots movement.
	A grassroots army of civilians are heeding the call, including Vera and Alexander, encouraging others to do the same.
	Their operation has taken over their one-bedroom apartment.
	He makes drone parts with his 3D printer, while she creates camouflage jackets for soldiers' helmets.
	3D printer!
	I'm making drone parts!
	Their work acknowledged by grateful troops in Bakhmut, who sent them Ukraine's coat of arms made of bullets.
	Instead of getting married and having a wedding, we spent that money to start making drones.
	Now we are happy without gold rings, but with the drones.
	Companies like Victory Drones are training up civilians online to help build these little birds.
	Yeah, and that makes sense now with the hundred million.
	That's the kind of money that Silicon Valley would want.
	That's what Eric Schmidt, who called for drone warfare, for creating Ukraine's drone building capability.
	And when we say drones, it's small drones.
	Yeah, they're small.
	Yeah, this is probably what the money is.
	She's bigger than a quadcopter, but smaller than a predator.
	Yeah, she's much smaller than a predator.
	Here, here's a lensy, go build some drones.
	To then distribute to the military.
	If you attach the payload to the bottom, if you attach the battery on top, you have a perfect shell, which is a guided missile.
	Volunteer and soldier Gennady says to compete with Russia's industrial output, Ukraine must innovate or there will be no future.
	He's already lost his best friend, seen here in this video singing lullabies to their children.
	He knows too well the painful price of this war.
	When I'm saying innovator die, I see eyes of people from my unit.
	I lost already.
	And obviously we have to win this war because otherwise the sacrifice was fruitless.
	There you go.
	Even the next generation is getting involved.
	The military has begun training school kids, some as young as first graders.
	My name is Sophia.
	I'm six years old.
	I like flying drones and protecting the country.
	And there are even plans to make this part of the nation's education system.
	This is disgusting.
	You know, you're right.
	Terry Reid was right.
	A generation of men slaughtered for no reason other than for the military-industrial complex.
	With old crap we sent them so we could enrich our own companies here and in Europe.
	And the money stopped flowing a while ago.
	We had the clips of the European Union defense honcho saying, hey, you know, if we don't get any orders, we're not going to build.
	So until you get an order, it's going to take a while.
	It'll take a year because there's no orders.
	The money's done.
	It's stopped.
	Yeah, it has to be done.
	And so now and now they're indoctrinating Six-year-olds to fly drones and kill people.
	Six-year-olds to fly drones for your country.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this whole is evil.
	The whole system is evil.
	It's pretty bad.
	I can't think of any other term than just evil.
	The six-year-old at the end is the kicker.
	And nobody seems to think that this is sick when you listen to these reports on CNN.
	It's heartbreaking.
	Yeah, he's a little kid.
	He shouldn't be dealing with this.
	No.
	By the way, I thought all the kids were rousted from Ukraine and sent to Poland and taken to Russia and every place in between.
	Well, here we go.
	So now we get to the disinformation.
	And there's something going on right now.
	There is a push and it's global, it's United Nations related.
	And a couple of things just kept on coming through, kept coming through.
	I'm like, hold on a second.
	What is happening here?
	And I discovered something that fits right in with the canary in the coal mine was the Westminster Declaration.
	Remember the Westminster Declaration?
	Oh yeah.
	Which is a bunch of bloggers and podcasters, all well-meaning, I'm sure, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald.
	Yeah, of course they're well-meaning.
	Oh no, Article 19, Article 19, it's all about Article 19.
	Of the Universal Human Rights Declaration.
	I'll get to that in a minute, but first let's see, this came out over a week ago, and this was yet another kind of red flag saying something is coming, because of course Kathy Hochul, the unelected governor of New York, is going to be in on the elitist messaging.
	Today I'm directing the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to develop media literacy tools for K-12.
	Tools!
	In our public schools.
	This will teach students and even teachers to help understand how to spot conspiracy theories and misinformation, disinformation and online hate.
	Start talking about what we're seeing out there.
	Give the teachers the tools they need to help these conversations in school.
	And by teaching younger New Yorkers about how to discern between digital fact and digital fiction, we can better inoculate them from hatred and the spread of it, and help prepare them for a very fast-moving and often confusing world.
	We identified this stuff like a decade ago when the bullying laws, when bullying in school became bullying laws and was all hate speech and hate laws and very ill-defined.
	What is hate?
	What is hate speech?
	And of course this is now rearing its ugly head in Europe with the Parliamentary, well, with the majority win of seats in the House of Parliament in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, not enough to govern.
	He needs a coalition and of course no one wants to go along with the hate speech guy!
	Hello and welcome to Talking Europe.
	It's an election result that has sent shockwaves across the EU.
	Shot waves!
	By all expectations, the Dutch far-right Freedom Party has won 37 seats, well ahead of its rivals.
	It's led by a man who's long been the Bete Noire of European liberals and Muslims.
	Bete Noire?
	Kev Wilders.
	The Bete Noire?
	Is that the black sheep?
	The Bete Noire?
	Isn't that black sheep?
	Is that French for...
	It has a very specific, we should look it up so we can read it.
	It has a very specific meaning in a political sense.
	Yeah, why don't you look that up while we listen to Le Bet Noir.
	Muslims, Herb Wilders, advocates what he calls the de-Islamization of the Netherlands, as well as zero asylum seekers and tougher border management.
	Well, migration and asylum is one of the key policy areas of my guest today.
	Margaritis Hinaas is a Vice President of the European Commission and he's coordinating the Commission's work on a new pact on migration and asylum.
	So the intro here is not far from the truth.
	Geert Wilders has said, look, no more asylum seekers.
	We're a small country.
	No more Islamification.
	Oh, makes sense.
	Oh, no more Islamification of the country, which is very specific to the Netherlands as, you know, statues have had to go.
	Street signs have had to go.
	All these things, the culture of the Netherlands has all changed.
	You know, the Bet Noir.
	Oh, Bet Noir, tell us.
	Bet Noir is a person, just a simple definition, a person or thing that one particularly dislikes.
	Oh, dislikes, yes.
	So the intro guy here, I think it's France 24, is being reasonably true because there has been no, oh and I guess the big problem for the EU guy who's about to speak as a guest, is Geert Wilders is saying we should have a binding referendum, always a problem, You know, having phony baloney voting is one thing, but now a binding referendum on whether the Netherlands should exit the EU, a so-called NEGZIT.
	That's really the problem, but let's see what the EU immigration officer VP Doodly Doot says.
	Is it a setback for the European way of life?
	Well, this remains to be seen.
	25% of Dutch voters voted for Kurt Wilders, but 75% didn't.
	This is my favorite.
	There's 17 or 18 parties.
	There's the animal party.
	You can't just say they didn't vote for him as if, well, you know, he's kind of insinuating they didn't like what he had to say.
	He makes it sound like a binary.
	Exactly.
	It's not, thank you, it's not binary.
	People voted for the 50-plussers, for the 50-plus party, which got zero seats in the House.
	So when the government will be formed, the first thing that would be quite interesting to see is whether all this hate rhetoric that shaped his campaign... Hate rhetoric that shaped his campaign?
	That is patently not true!
	Will be translated into a government program.
	That we don't know yet.
	So I would very much like to give the next government a chance to see whether their government program will reflect this hate speech that we have been hearing during the campaign.
	In any case, The European model of society is fully incompatible with any form of discrimination or hate.
	Phoebe's hating something.
	Wow, this guy was just a biased report I've ever heard one.
	I have some clips on this.
	Okay, but let me come back to my hate speech because I'm on a roll here.
	Okay, finish.
	Well, what do you have?
	Maybe it fits in.
	What do you have?
	No, this is about the right-wingers taking over the world.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	We'll get back to that.
	Specifically, Holland.
	We'll get back to that.
	It'll make sense.
	Because...
	Because I want to get back to the Westminster Declaration, Article 19.
	So, taking place right now in Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, Turkey, yay, is the, what do they call on this thing?
	The Stratcom Summit.
	In times of war and crisis, disinformation can be used as a powerful weapon to spread lies to the masses in an instance.
	In this era of uncertainties, humanitarian and environmental crises, and regional instability, truth-based, transparent media has never been more important.
	Truth-based, transparent media.
	Remember that.
	Remember that line.
	Remember that line.
	Addressing this, prominent leaders and experts from around the world are gathered here in Istanbul for the International Communication Strategic Summit, STRATCOM.
	The goal of this summit is to create a clean communication ecosystem in the fight against disinformation.
	And with the rise of new technologies like...
	What did she call it?
	I'm going to hear that again.
	Hold on a second.
	The goal of the summit is to create a clean communication ecosystem.
	A clean communication ecosystem.
	So these guys are just full of themselves.
	Oh, totally.
	Well, this is the money.
	Creating phrases that sound kind of cool.
	This is the money.
	This is the money train.
	In the fight against disinformation.
	And with the rise of new technologies like AI, this battle is getting even more challenging.
	The annual summit is organized by the Republic of Turkey as Directorate of Communications and is taking place over two days.
	This year's theme is global response to hybrid threats, stability, security and solidarity.
	And the solidarity is evident here with over a thousand participants, 60 speakers from nearly 30 countries and 100 officials from over 40 countries.
	When you're talking about people up to no good, they're playing on the fact that emotionally people get manipulated a lot.
	You have to be critical consumers of information.
	Just as we read labels in the grocery store, we're looking at the carbohydrates.
	We're not doing that enough online or the way we consume information.
	But the battle against disinformation doesn't end here.
	We each have a role to play as we consume and share media.
	Will we accept it all as fact or will we think critically about it?
	So you're right.
	What that lady just said, one of the attendees, that is what NewsGuard does.
	It's putting a label, an ingredient.
	I hear it all day long from the podcast industrial complex.
	Well yes, we need labels on podcasts so you know what you're getting if you want to advertise on it.
	Or you know what you're getting if you are going to listen to it.
	Because yes, this podcast contains elements of Hitler.
	Trump loves Hitler!
	Stuff like that.
	So...
	What comes out is this article from Reclaim the Net, and it's actually, it's a big kind of red herring.
	The headline is, World Economic Forum backs UNESCO's push to regulate speech on social media, pushes its own toolkit, digital safety, which will tackle hate speech and cyber bullying.
	So the point of this is to go and, you know, look at... Sounds like a panic to me.
	If I've ever heard anything that sounds desperation, Everything you're playing right now is it.
	Well, it's a distraction from what's really happening.
	So Reclaim the Net is pointing you to go look at the World Economic Forum.
	Those douchebags, they want to censor speech on social media.
	And by the way, before we even dive into these two documents, you said one or two shows ago, this is the golden age of the internet, golden age of podcasting.
	Because it's all going to end.
	Anything that you get from a platform is going to end.
	And Podcasting 2.0, of course, will not.
	And if you still publish a blog with an RSS feed, you'll be okay.
	But platforms are going away and here's why.
	So once you dig into this World Economic Forum article with their toolkit, there's a little document from UNESCO.
	Now for people who don't know what UNESCO is, let me get the exact acronym.
	The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.
	Usually you only hear about UNESCO as it pertains to historical sites.
	Yeah.
	It's a UNESCO world sanctioned site!
	But UNESCO is about education and scientific So they come out with this document, Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms, Safeguarding Freedom of Expression and Access to Information through a Multi-Stakeholder Approach.
	Remember, United Nations is built of member states and stakeholders, the United States being one of them.
	So they have Guidelines for an Internet of Trusts.
	What did we hear earlier?
	Was there trusts, trustworthy media?
	I'll tell you what it was.
	It was truth-based transparent media.
	I have a couple things highlighted.
	Safeguarding freedom of expression and the right to information while dealing with dis and misinformation.
	Remember this is all coming from the Julie Andrews of the Ministry of Truth.
	Remember the singing lady who was dismissed who was working for Homeland Security?
	She got kicked out because this is all her terms.
	Dis and misinformation.
	Okay, dealing with dis and misinformation, hate speech, and conspiracy theories.
	So you can't have conspiracy theories now.
	Requires a multi-stakeholder approach.
	Okay, so like, all right, this is nothing new.
	Then they have guidelines for the governance of digital platforms.
	So I'm going to scroll down here.
	There's a couple things I highlighted which led me to the key document.
	As virtual spaces for social interact... This is a 56-page document, by the way.
	As virtual spaces for social interaction, they, digital platforms, are beholden to algorithms designed to monopolize our attention, inadvertently favoring misinformation and hate speech by prioritizing clicks over certainty, probability, and proof.
	Faced with the global nature of these issues, we need to develop consistent responses around the world and avoid the fragmentation of regulations or approaches that compromise human rights.
	It is precisely the global challenge to which UNESCO must rise, for it is at the core of our mandate.
	And here it is.
	Let us remain focused on our goal.
	Combating hate speech and misinformation while preserving freedom of expression.
	This is not a contradiction.
	No?
	What?
	Sounds like one to me.
	What?
	Sounds like one to me.
	By bolstering access to free and reliable information, we also enhance freedom of thought and expression.
	Thank you.
	Listen to this.
	By bolstering, so by making more access to free and reliable information more voluminous, with that we actually enhance freedom of thought and expression, as long as it's the reliable information.
	In the words of Hannah Arendt, who was Hannah Arendt?
	I should have looked her up.
	Hannah Arendt.
	She's a very famous, I believe she was a sociologist or an anthropologist or something along those lines, but she's a writer.
	I love you for knowing this.
	I read her when I was in college, but I don't remember too much about it.
	In the words of Hannah Arendt, Freedom of opinion is a farce unless factual information is guaranteed and the facts themselves are not in dispute.
	Dude, you grew up on that stuff?
	Yeah, probably.
	Cal Berkeley.
	Hannah Arendt was a German-born American historian and philosopher.
	She was one of the most influential political theorists of the 20th century.
	Of course I'd read her.
	So here comes, here comes the thing that led me right to the money shot.
	So now they get into some of the, you know, a lot of words, a lot of references.
	And remember, we're going back to the Westminster Declaration by some of the prominent podcasters and bloggers in America saying, you know, these online platforms shouldn't be censoring us and we're doing reporting and it's Article 19 of human rights!
	Here it is, point three.
	The guidelines recognize, the guidelines for platforms, that the application of rules and regulations in every governance system must adhere to international human rights standards, including with Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
	Whoa!
	I read that, Article 19, and I thought it was of the Human Rights Declaration, but there's a different Article 19, coincidentally, and that is Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and I'll get to that in a moment, which provides that any restriction to freedom of expression must be provided by law.
	Again, any restriction to freedom of expression must be provided by law.
	Pursue a legitimate aim as set out in... Wait, wait.
	It's a convoluted sentence.
	What they're saying is, if you want to restrict freedom of expression, they don't say freedom of speech, they say freedom of expression, you can, as long as it's provided by law.
	Oh, hence, Zelensky putting a lid on anybody using the word peace negotiations.
	Yes, exactly.
	Which provides that any restriction to freedom of expression must be provided by law, pursue a legitimate aim as set out in the provision, and must be necessary and proportionate.
	Okay, so then I go to Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the ICCCPR.
	This is a 20-page document And it is, best practices and lessons learned on how protecting and promoting human rights contribute to preventing and countering violent extremism.
	So this is how they lay out how free expression is protected, unless we make a law against something which just, which we all agree just can't happen.
	The submission focuses on the compliance of initiatives and programs aimed at preventing or countering violent extremism with international freedom of expression standards.
	In the annexes to the submission, which includes further materials, issued by Article 9.
	So this is all in the fine print of your Human Rights Declaration.
	The right to freedom of expression is protected by Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is elaborated upon and given legal force in Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
	That's this document.
	These guarantees are replicated in many other international human rights instruments, as well as in regional counterparts.
	Though the right to freedom of expression is fundamental, it is not absolute!
	It is not absolute!
	Article 19 ICCPR, for example, places the onus on states party to justify any limitations they place on the rights are provided by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and are necessary to the legitimate aim and proportionate.
	Well, this is bullcrap.
	Because it boils down to this.
	Activities that aim to threaten the enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms and democracy and threaten territorial integrity and the security of states and destabilize legitimately constituted governments.
	So if you have hate speech against the government, they can shut you down.
	And they call this violent extremism a broader phenomenon than terrorism.
	It captures both an ideology and conduct presumed indicative of a future propensity to violence.
	Dude, they are shutting it down!
	They've had this going for a long time, it's legal, and thank God, literally thank God for our Constitution, our First Amendment, but it's totally under attack with this, because we are after all... Of course it is, it's been under attack forever!
	But this is a legal attack!
	And the violent extremism, these are the terms they've been using over and over again for years.
	It's hate speech.
	So to wrap up what you've just said here, the people who signed off on that Westminster declaration are doofuses.
	They're either complicit or really idiots.
	They're not complicit, let's assume that.
	But the fact is that they've basically signed a death warrant in essence, even though it's going to mean nothing and it means nothing in the get-go, just a bunch of guys' signatures.
	But, beside the point, symbolically they signed their own death warrant and they don't even know it.
	And if you look at the UK, who is already way on board with this.
	Or Canada.
	Well, I'm going to use the UK for a moment because, you know, this big protest, big pro-Palestine protest going on, all organized, of course, by the Labour Party.
	The Met Police handed out a leaflet that warned against language that breaks the law.
	Language!
	I just want to repeat this.
	Americans can't, well a lot of them can, but most Americans can't even fathom this sentence.
	There's language that breaks the law.
	Yeah, it's like thought crimes.
	The leaflets warn protesters not to use words or images that are racist or incite hatred against any faith.
	That support Hamas or any other banned organization as it is illegal under UK law to support such terrorist organizations.
	Or, here it is, that celebrate or promote acts of terrorism such as the killing or kidnap of innocent people.
	In America, you can do that.
	You may be a dick, but you can do that.
	Yeah, I would say that church, the God Hates Fags church, is a perfect example.
	And Nazis can walk around and do their Heil Hitler stuff and walk around with their little goose stepping.
	And the ACLU used to protect them.
	Used to defend them.
	Used to defend them.
	Yeah, I guess not.
	But that's part of a true open society and democracy.
	It's closing in quick, but they're going to go after every single platform.
	Anything that's a platform, anything that you believe is the internet, it's already really under these rules.
	They're just going to formalize it.
	And they're doing it, and now you got the money, and everyone's sucking up the money.
	They're in Turkey A with the Stratcom Conference.
	Yeah, we got all kinds of news guard, we got all kinds of filters, we got all kinds of stuff.
	We can track people down, put our hobnail boot on their neck!
	This is exactly what is happening.
	So yes.
	Way to go, Westminster boys.
	Westminster Declaration boys.
	Look into that.
	Report on that for a second, please.
	No, they're too high.
	They're actually pretty glib about that.
	I think Matt Taibbi, if he really looked at it, because he's kind of wrapped up and, you know, the IRS came to his door and he got, for the first time he's figured out the government hates him because they hate everybody, all citizens.
	He's a little wrapped up in it.
	Yeah, and he's still a babe.
	He's still innocent.
	Oh, come on!
	Let us report on social media!
	No.
	No, you've got that wrong, Matt.
	And please, get off of Substack.
	Back to blogs!
	That's it.
	Back to blogs.
	We gotta go back to using the network, not the platforms.
	Well, uh...
	Well, I don't know how that relates to the right-wingers that took over Europe, or are taking over Europe.
	Well, they're shutting them down.
	Let's see how far they get.
	I think that, you know, talk is... it's a big deal to talk a lot, but... It's easy to shut down someone's Twitter.
	Implementation is a problem.
	It's easy to shut down.
	People... John, children today, they think the Internet is their iPhone.
	Hey, I got Google, I got the Internet.
	Hey, I got apps.
	Apps?
	Come on!
	Well, they always thought the web was the internet, too, if you really want to go back to it.
	Yes, it was!
	It still is!
	But it never was.
	The web, no.
	But the web is an open communication hyperlinking system that runs on the internet.
	It's on top of the internet.
	Yeah, but it's one step closer to... It's not a platform.
	The web is not a platform.
	Twitter is a platform.
	Facebook is a platform.
	Google is a platform.
	Your iPhone app store is a platform.
	These are platforms that they will regulate to their own desire.
	The web is still the last place.
	I would say, going back to your initial thesis, which you did not bring up in this presentation, that the platforms aren't going to go away because they're going to be They're the ones that are going to co-opt the government regulations to benefit them.
	Yes, I agree.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Of course they're going to.
	So META will be around?
	No, it'll be around, but it won't be a place to get any word out because it will be a clean communications ecosystem.
	Yeah.
	Yes!
	Good luck.
	It's hard to, you know, they don't have enough butts to help.
	I can tell you right now, we're not on Spotify, we never were.
	We're going to get kicked off of Apple.
	It will happen.
	This podcast will not be on the Apple podcast app.
	I can tell you right now.
	Because of conspiracy theories and possible hate speech.
	What conspiracy theory?
	We have never pushed a conspiracy theory on this show.
	We didn't land on the moon.
	Well that's you, not the show.
	And that predates the show.
	I gotta step up my game then.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Please take it to the right-wingers.
	I'm sure we can tie this in.
	Back to the right-wings in the election.
	So I went to, of all places, NTD.
	Well, of course.
	It's your go-to.
	We love NTD.
	And they had a guy on.
	Unfortunately, this is not a great interview because the connection to the guy is no good.
	I tried running it through Adobe.
	One of those situations where there's certain things Adobe can't do and it just makes it worse.
	And this is one of those interviews where that happened.
	Oh goodness.
	It turns out, I was thinking about this, the Adobe product is really only good for echoey voices in a big room, you know, which is typical of a lot of podcasts.
	I agree.
	They're using a camera, then they're using the mic on the camera to do the audio.
	It clears that up really well.
	It doesn't do very well.
	That's all it does.
	Yes, I agree.
	Now, you can pay for an enhanced version where you can determine the amount.
	I doubt if it's any better.
	It's not.
	Can I give you a tip?
	A tip?
	There's another website called Vocal Remover.
	I think, let me just see what it is.
	What's the name of it?
	One second.
	VocalRemover.org and now with this you can split up between music It's really for songs, music, and vocals.
	Yeah, it's for karaoke.
	Yeah, but it works very well by removing background noise, which it will detect as music.
	And I've used that on a couple.
	In fact, that clip from Turkey A, I used that on.
	And it really cleaned it up without messing with the vocal track, like making it all sing-y and skip-y.
	Yeah, it's a good one.
	And it's open source.
	It's value for value.
	Just tip the guy a little.
	Value for value!
	Yes, it's value.
	That's it.
	That's correct.
	Value for value.
	All right, let's go to the right-wingers in Elections 1.
	In addition to New Zealand, right-leaning politicians have scored recent victories in the Netherlands and Argentina.
	Is this a worldwide trend?
	We spoke with Daniel Lacalle, Chief Economist at TRECIS, to find out more.
	Daniela Kaye, thank you so much for joining us.
	Great to have you back on the show.
	You're actually currently in the Netherlands.
	That's where you're joining us from.
	And that's after an outsider won the election there.
	This follows a similar one that we just saw in Argentina as well.
	How much did the current economic factors in those countries play into these election wins?
	Quite a bit, actually.
	If you think of what has made such a drastic change in the political landscape in the Netherlands, it is because of elevated inflation, continuous intervention from the government affecting the primary sector, agriculture, etc.
	So basically a drastic reaction against the negative inflationary and economic situation, but also the views on immigration and on government intervention on on environmental issues.
	In the case of Argentina, it's the desperate situation of the economy in Argentina.
	It's got 140% inflation, 40% poverty, and on top of that, in a country that produces oil and has an incredible farming industry, there's scarcity of gasoline and scarcity of meat. - Yeah, I'm gonna call bull crap on this guy because there's scarcity of gasoline and scarcity of meat. - Yeah, I'm gonna call bull crap on The number one reason was asylum seekers has been going on for 20 years and the fact that... In Argentina?
	No, in the Netherlands.
	Argentina is correct.
	Well, he talks about the Netherlands a little more specifically.
	I know, but he said, oh no, it was inflation, cost of living, intervention from the government, and then he says, oh yeah, and immigration.
	No.
	Immigration was top of the list.
	It's okay.
	The two are incomparable is what I'm saying.
	Okay, incomparable.
	Incomparable.
	I think it's interesting that he mentioned you can't get meat in all places.
	Argentina, which is the meat-eating country.
	They should just go to the Argentinian restaurant there.
	That's where you can get meat.
	They're all meat.
	Meat, meat, and more meat.
	Well, there's a factoid that comes out in here that's new to me.
	One of our producers wrote me a note telling me about it, but I told him we have a clip that's going to discuss it.
	There's two parts left.
	The first part is about Holland.
	I want to get to Argentina, but sticking with the Netherlands first, Wilders is seeking a Dutch Brexit in the Netherlands, noting the climate policies are really hurting the farmers in particular.
	But what can one man do?
	What do we expect to see here?
	Well, I think what we can expect at least is a significant reversal of the misguided So-called environmental policies.
	They're not environmental.
	They're interventionist policies.
	They haven't really improved.
	In fact, they have worsened the situation for the people in the Netherlands.
	So I think quite a big reversal in that front and quite a strong reversal as well in both the economic policies inside the Netherlands, but also regarding the European Union.
	Because the Netherlands is suffering elevated inflation because of the monetary policy of the European Central Bank and also a dire economic environment when it should not be in such a situation due to the, well, many of the policies that have been imported from the European Union.
	So all those things can be tweaked and at least improved upon.
	Again, I'm just surprised that he doesn't really mention immigration.
	Yeah, he almost went out of his way not to.
	And he's there.
	He's there.
	That's the thing.
	He's there.
	Well, let's go on to the, we'll just take that for what it is, but let's listen to what's going on in Argentina.
	Speaking of inflation, you did mention now turning to Argentina, the 140% inflation over there now.
	Javier Millet is saying he's going to shut down the central bank, calling that non-negotiable.
	How much does the central bank fit into the inflation we're seeing?
	Well, certainly the central bank is one side of the coin and a very important Obviously printing pesos in a way that is completely incredible.
	But that's one side of the coin.
	The other side of the coin is fiscal policy.
	It's a country that has more protectionist measures than many of the communist regimes that we know, like Cuba or North Korea.
	So it needs to open the economy, it needs to cut spending, and it certainly needs to stop Print in Pesos and stop the centrationary nightmare.
	Millet is an economist and now he says he does have a plan to fight inflation and that's dollarization.
	He is wanting to change the pesos to the U.S.
	dollar.
	How likely is that to succeed?
	Well, it's inevitable because one of the problems in Argentina is that many of the politicians did not want to recognize the big elephant in the room, which is that the peso is a completely invalid currency that has failed.
	Argentina has more than 15 different exchange rates of the peso.
	All of them completely false, implemented by the government, and the peso is not used by citizens in Argentina whenever they can.
	So actually, dollarization is already evident within the Argentine economy because no Argentine citizen, I mean at least no sane Argentine I find it interesting that they're gonna switch to the US dollar as their currency.
	that Argentine citizens implement are already dollar.
	I find it interesting that they're going to switch to the U.S. dollar as their currency.
	Well, we talked about this on the last show.
	But we talk about it all the time because people, you know, it's like it's a reserve currency for the world.
	But here's the thing.
	I want to do it officially is what I think isn't.
	I don't know anyone else who's done it officially.
	Well, it's not entirely clear because it says dollarization.
	So, I mean, to shut down the central bank to then get the Federal Reserve Central Bank.
	What a difference.
	Well, it won't be 140% inflation.
	No, but it'll... Okay.
	You get my point.
	I mean, structurally, it's the same basic idea.
	But that, I mean, there's a lot that has to happen before that can take place.
	Pegging the dollar to the peso would be possible.
	Well, that's different than dollarization.
	I know it's different.
	That's what they did in Brazil.
	We'll have to see what he can do.
	I mean, he doesn't have a majority in Parliament.
	He's just the Prime Minister.
	I mean, we'll see what he does.
	I think it's fascinating that that's what he wants to do.
	I mean, they have pegging to the dollar is not new.
	I mean, I think they may have done that in Argentina years back, but I know it's been done in Brazil.
	But even when they did it, when they went from the Crisero to the Real, which the Real meaning real, was pegged one to one to the dollar.
	But now it's like two and a half to one.
	I mean, it just doesn't hold up.
	Which would be different than the dollar, which would hold up.
	It's interesting that Saudi Arabia and China just announced a $7 billion local currency swap line, which is a good way to peg your money to the yuan and get it away from the dollar.
	It's like a start in a sequence of things.
	Yeah, the problem with the one, in my opinion, is that it's rigged more than the dollar is.
	Hey, but they just don't want to be beholden to us anymore.
	Yeah, we got a new guy, new boss, same as the old boss.
	They're tinier.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	They don't go and kill as many people.
	Just their own.
	So, just sticking with Europe.
	Not reported.
	Okay, so what has been reported is we have lots of immigration clashes.
	Dublin, Ireland, which immediately was called, oh, the far right-wing nutjobs, they hate, it was a rumor started by them, and oh, it was not true, but yes, there was indeed an immigrant Who stabbed several people, including children, and Dublin.
	It was called the Irish Welcome, as The Guardian writes.
	And there's no more Irish Welcome.
	The Irish are sick of it.
	The Dutch are sick of it.
	Even Conor McGregor, MMA fighter, says, yep, this is a problem.
	Because there's just a revolving door on immigration with a gravy train upon arrival.
	People don't like it.
	In France, didn't even hear about this.
	The French village's winter ball.
	Knife attack, killing a 16-year-old boy, injuring 17 people.
	And this immigrant told guests, we're here to stab white people, before he started to stab white people.
	So, this is not stuff that people like.
	Now here's the kicker.
	European lawmakers approved plans on Wednesday to remove the national veto for EU member states.
	A total of 291 members of European Parliament supported the proposal put forward by the Forhofstadt group member Guy Forhofstadt, the guy who was all against, you know, the Belgian guy, who was all against Brexit and was making a big problem, the arch-federalist.
	So the vote was passed by a majority of just 17.
	So now a European country, like the Netherlands, can no longer have a veto on laws they don't like.
	Didn't hear about that anywhere.
	Goodbye sovereignty.
	What would make the European Union so appealing if you have no power whatsoever?
	Well, that hence negs it.
	You know, I don't think Geert Wilders is going to get a parliament together.
	The VVD, which was the current majority, or was the majority party before the election, in coalition, so they had kind of a center right-ish, I guess, government, very slight right-ish.
	They said, well, we don't want to be in a coalition with the PVV, which everyone was kind of counting on.
	Said, but we will, whatever they want, we'll just agree with them.
	It's going to be very hard for him to form this thing.
	You know, he can get, you know, there's a couple of weird new parties which got, you know, he can get the farmer party in there, but he still needs 76 and he's at 37.
	It's not going to be easy.
	It just may not happen.
	Which will mortify people in the Netherlands.
	It's very interesting to watch.
	Because I think that where the Netherlands goes, so the rest of Europe goes.
	And you're right.
	If you don't have a veto, if you can't stop something completely ludicrous, why would you want to be in it?
	That makes no sense.
	You've already got Fifi Lagarde running your bank.
	You know?
	Soon... So much nuttiness.
	Meanwhile, here in America, This was very interesting.
	CBS Sunday did a story between two CBS journalists, or two journalists, where the journalists were the story.
	Oh, nothing like journalists interviewing journalists.
	And they didn't have a single outside person in this six-hour, it could have been six hours, in this six-minute piece.
	Tim Alberta has written, Tim Alberta, I think he's mainly an Atlantic writer.
	His dad was a preacher or pastor at a church.
	He grew up in the church.
	And, well, wouldn't you know it, the church is being hijacked by Trump, the church is political, it's no good, and we have to have a book out, which now these two journalists, what's the other guy's name?
	The CBS guy is Robert Costa, and he interviews Tim Alberta about the white evangelicals.
	Alberta's reckoning with faith and politics is the basis for his new book, The Kingdom, the Power and the Glory, which documents what he calls an age of extremism for evangelicals.
	There was a real crisis in the American church, specifically a crisis in the white evangelical church.
	About a quarter of American adults identify as evangelical.
	And as the Republican presidential race heats up, nearly 70% of white evangelicals are supportive of Trump.
	Alberta says that reflects a shift away from norms in the GOP and in the church.
	We should think about the American church almost in parallel to American politics.
	When it gains enough influence, When it gains enough power, the fringe can overtake the mainstream.
	And that's what we've seen happen in the church.
	The convulsions in today's churches come after decades of evangelicals gaining influence.
	Do you love God?
	Do you love him with all your heart?
	With all your soul?
	From Billy Graham's stadium crusades to the stadium rallies of Donald Trump.
	But you know, we have our Christian conservatives for Trump today and they're in the room.
	Let's go.
	Trump!
	In recent years, evangelicals have had debates over the response to COVID and to Trump.
	All while many key Republicans count themselves as one of them.
	What I find most interesting, there's one more clip here, what I find most interesting is The Democrat Party has actually been doing this for decades.
	And it was a man... I learned all this from Mo, but it's right out there.
	Who is one of the big promoters of the Democratic Party amongst Black America?
	Al Sharpton.
	Name another one.
	Jesse Jackson.
	What are they?
	Reverends.
	This was all, this is all, the Democrat Party has always said... Yeah, they don't like the idea this is happening to them.
	Exactly.
	Against them.
	What's interesting is I like the tricky use of association.
	So you have Billy Graham in front of a huge audience.
	Yeah, from 1960 or something.
	It doesn't matter when, but there are these guys and they get in front of the, well I'd say the preachers on TV that are in front, they're in the stadiums, those guys, the megachurch guys.
	They've got a big giant audience and then they switch to Trump in front of a big giant audience and so you make the association there's something going on.
	You know, you could have done the same thing by having Taylor Swift in front of a big, giant audience, and then putting Trump in there and claiming that he's a rock and roller.
	I mean, this is bullcrap.
	Here we go.
	What do you say to evangelical leaders who might hear your argument and say, you missed the point.
	Trump wins for evangelical Christians.
	He wins for conservatives.
	Wins what?
	Supreme Court seats, a seat at the table at the White House.
	Show me where in scripture any of that matters.
	But it does matter to many of those standing with Trump as he once again seeks the White House.
	You had millions of evangelical Christians who voted for Donald Trump and just sort of gleefully embraced his... See, this is where I would have expected here to have a whole bunch of Christians going, yeah, God told me to vote for Trump, but they don't have any of that.
	They just connect it.
	It's because it doesn't exist, but why don't we go back and he makes it When one point is made, he says, show me in scripture where that matters.
	Well, his whole thesis, show me in scripture where any of what he says matters.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	This is an interesting hit piece.
	...matter to many of those standing with Trump as he once again seeks the White House.
	You had millions of evangelical Christians who voted for Donald Trump and just sort of gleefully embraced his Gleefully.
	Gleefully embraced.
	What's he using, gleefully?
	I mean, this guy is a propagandist.
	Only people that watch this besides us are left-wingers and middle-of-the-road nobody cares, whoever's bored enough to watch 60 Minutes in its current iteration, which is not a good show, I might add.
	It's very dull.
	It's CBS Sunday, not 60 Minutes, CBS Sunday.
	Oh, even worse.
	Jane Pauly.
	Jane Pauly special.
	A Jane Pauly show.
	Nobody watches Jane Pauly's show.
	It's well-structured.
	As a pro, she's like really good, but... And they got this Atlantic writer who grew up in the church and then...
	I think he basically left to become a political reporter.
	I'm not sure if he's a Christian anymore or not.
	No, he's probably not.
	He's probably an atheist.
	Let's continue.
	There's not much left.
	Terrible rhetoric and his un-Christ-like conduct.
	His un-Christ-like conduct?
	Is he supposed to be Christ?
	What?
	Hey, hey Christians!
	I'm not electing Christ!
	The whole point is, we're all sinners, you douche!
	Terrible rhetoric and his un-Christ-like conduct.
	Why did they gleefully embrace it?
	To use your term, power.
	Power!
	Power!
	Sure.
	Trump campaigned for president in 2016 promising that if he was elected, Christians would have power.
	And he gave it to them.
	I never saw that.
	I never heard that.
	Did you hear this?
	I never heard that.
	All I remember is they're gonna build the wall and Mexico's gonna pay for it.
	How come they don't harp on that?
	That's a good one.
	Mexico's never paid for any of the wall.
	So, I mean, why don't you go after him on stuff he actually said?
	He gave it to them in ways that arguably no American president has in modern history.
	Holy crapola!
	He gave stuff that is amazing, but what is it?
	And when you have power, you can very quickly lose sight of your principles, your values, even your beliefs.
	How's your faith?
	You know, honestly, it's never been better.
	Tim Alberta's faith in reporting is also strong.
	And he says that is his own calling.
	You and I, we're reporters.
	That's right.
	We're not supposed to be the story.
	I never wanted to be the story.
	Once you see this, you can't look away.
	Dude, this is such bullcrap.
	This is such bullcrap.
	I was in church this morning.
	I get up very early to do that and still do my show prep.
	There's as many people who are looking at Bobby the Op as there are at Donald Trump.
	And most people are like, is that?
	I mean, really?
	That's our choices?
	This is just, it's just, it's not true!
	But they're freaked out!
	These people are freaked out, A, by God, they're really afraid of God, and Mike Johnson, I think, is the catalyst here.
	Oh!
	Oh, his little, his imaginary daddy in the sky!
	Ugh!
	Who's Mike Johnson?
	The Speaker of the House!
	Oh, that guy?
	Yes!
	Oh yeah, he's about it.
	And the funny thing is, as religious as he is, he shows no signs of it.
	I don't know what they're complaining about.
	Because he says stuff.
	You know?
	Yeah.
	He says, like, um, my world view is the Bible.
	He wants to take us back to... This is basically the worldview of the United States of America, if you really look into it.
	I had a history professor at Cal, Winthrop Jordan, one of the most famous history professors in the country, who says, if you want to understand American history, you better sit down and read the entire Bible, and then you'll get it.
	And he wasn't a religious guy, he was just a matter of fact, he said that.
	Well, I'm going to make a prediction.
	What these people are doing, if they keep this up, you're going to see a revival.
	You're going to see a real revival.
	They are awakening powers they have no idea exist because they were kind of suppressed.
	So here, you mentioned R.F.K.
	Jr., the op.
	So I have two clips.
	I want to play, which I think the op is ending.
	I think they've decided that they're going to do something else.
	You know, there's going to be, there's going to be a lot of people saying, oh, oh, now you called the op over.
	It was never an op.
	Buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, buh, bu Like the AI stuff, where all of a sudden AI is going to eat the world.
	That was a big giveaway for me.
	Yes, we played that on the last show.
	I had two clips that go with it, but we ran out of time.
	This one here is like an eye roller.
	RFK Jr.
	and the Seals.
	I started hearing about some of your pets.
	You had a seal?
	My mother came from a family of outdoorsmen, and one of them caught a bunch of little baby sea lions, and he sent off the sea lion to each of his siblings.
	A big truck pulled in the driveway on Christmas Day, and a crate came off it.
	It was a little baby sea lion, and he raised him in the swimming pool, and there were fish all over the yard.
	How old were you when you had the sea lion?
	I was like six or seven.
	But, you know, he stayed with us for a couple of years and he just swam in the pool with us.
	He'd jump off the diving board and he would run with the dogs.
	The dogs would sometimes go into the nearby town and there was a milkman who would, you know, bring the milk in the morning and he'd see the seal with the six dogs walking through the town.
	It's okay.
	So when he was 70, he had a seal pet.
	That's weird.
	This is very, this is very interesting.
	Before you move to your next clip, he had an, I'm actually looking it up right now.
	He had a clip on RFK Jr.
	On, uh, on X, eggs, which I saw just the other day.
	Here, um, here, let me see if there's audio to this.
	Hold on a second.
	I started doing Hawking when I was nine years old.
	He, did you know he was in Hawking?
	To a falconer.
	Yes!
	My uncle, President Kennedy, was in the White House at that time, and a lot of people were talking about Camelot, and I read a book about Camelot, about the young King Arthur, called The Once and Future King by T.H.
	White.
	And T.H.
	White was a British falconer.
	And there's all these pictures of him holding up his gloved hand and the hawk is...
	Of landing on him?
	And so he had a chapter in that book about young King Arthur and learning falconry.
	And I read that.
	It was very, very detailed.
	And to me, absolutely riveting.
	Okay, I won't play the whole thing.
	But isn't that a rich boy's thing?
	Or you don't think having a pet seal in your giant swimming pool at home is not a rich boy's thing?
	I think it's in line.
	I think it's right up there.
	Yes, my pet seal.
	So there's that stuff which is negative.
	Very negative.
	Very negative.
	So there we have him coming off.
	Now, tell me if you've heard this.
	This is his commentary on the military manufacturing the VAX.
	South of you know the vaccines were developed not by Moderna and Pfizer they were developed by NIH their own the patents are on 50% by NIH nor were they manufactured by Pfizer or by Moderna they were manufactured by military contractors and basically Pfizer Moderna were paid to put their on those vaccines as if they came from the pharmaceutical industry.
	But, you know, that's not what they were doing.
	They were coming from, you know, this was a military project from the beginning.
	Well, I can't disagree with what he's saying.
	What, that Pfizer and Moderna didn't make anything?
	They just put their name on some military stuff that came out of a military... What military facilities manufacture vaccines?
	Well, he may mean develops because we both know where they were developed.
	No, no, he said they made them.
	He said the military manufactured contractors made the vaccines and Pfizer just put their label on it.
	What facility is this?
	I would like to know.
	Well, I don't know, but Fort Detrick is where we think it was developed.
	That's not a manufacturing place, that's a pure research facility.
	Maybe you are Mutinuka.
	No!
	Okay, you're taking him literally at his word, but he's trying to make a point.
	That's what he said!
	I know!
	I'm gonna give him this one.
	The seal and the falconing, the hawking, that's a problem for me.
	I'll give him this one.
	And I like the use of the word hawking instead of falconry because hawking implies selling something.
	Or hawking something up.
	Well there's that too.
	One of both.
	Or Stephen Hawking.
	He's hawking new software.
	He's hawking.
	So there's something amiss with the op.
	And it's really stylized and highly produced and lots of slow-mo of falcons.
	And then one of them actually grabbing something in the air.
	Like a dove.
	Like a freedom dove.
	Yeah, well, if the op is not over, this is not a good look for Bobby.
	Although the polls are showing he would take 30% away from Trump!
	Well, if the polls are accurate, that's probably the reason why they killed the RFK thing.
	Because you want them to take the votes away from Biden.
	They're trying to keep Biden from getting in.
	Well, we want him to be Attorney General.
	For Trump.
	Biden?
	I don't think so.
	No, not Biden.
	You know what I mean.
	Anyway, since we're on vaccines and COVID, What we previously could only get through NTD and WION from India has finally hit our shores.
	It's even in Chicago and I have a few clips to share.
	The World Health Organization says China has shared data about a recent surge in respiratory illnesses in children and there's no sign of any unusual or novel pathogens.
	The WHO saw information after Chinese news reports and social media posts.
	Surge!
	Surge.
	Now, the data suggests the spike was caused by known bacteria and viruses like pneumonia and RSV.
	WHO says the surge is happening earlier than expected.
	Surge.
	Now, this is interesting for really for one reason.
	Well, actually a couple.
	But it follows the format, follows the format that we saw in November of 2019.
	It follows the format.
	We're seeing some stuff.
	It's a little different now because it's children.
	It's children.
	Think of the children.
	It's children.
	This is bad.
	It's children.
	Children, children, children.
	Vaccinated.
	Troubling headline out of China.
	Troubling headline.
	Hospitals overwhelmed with children suffering from respiratory illnesses.
	This is RSV cases are rising in some parts of the United States.
	Hold on a second.
	Aren't all headlines trolling?
	Shouldn't they be?
	Is it inaccurate?
	Is that what she's complying?
	I'm not sure.
	I'm not sure I follow.
	She said trolling headline, didn't she?
	I said troubling.
	Troubling.
	Oh, troubling.
	It sounded like she said trolling headline.
	The day ABC says trolling, I'll eat my shoe.
	No, no, no.
	Troubling, yes.
	Troubling.
	Next tonight, a troubling headline out of China.
	Reports of hospitals overwhelmed with children suffering from respiratory illnesses.
	This is RSV cases are rising in some parts of the United States.
	Notice that connection.
	Completely irrelevant connection.
	This is walking pneumonia.
	But, oh, it's troubling because we have something going on in China and RSV on the rise in America.
	Let's bring in ABC's Britt Clennett.
	Come on, Britt.
	You're learning the World Health Organization is in contact with China tonight on this potential worrying spike.
	Worrying spike?
	A worrying spike.
	Oh, this is beautiful.
	Hi, Lindsay.
	Yeah, these reports coming out of China are grabbing international attention.
	The UN Health Agency is investigating what it calls clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia, with some hospitals in northern China overwhelmed with sick children.
	Tonight, the World Health Organization consulting with health authorities.
	If it's pneumonia, how is it undiagnosed?
	How do you have anything undiagnosed pneumonia?
	You just diagnosed it!
	It's called pneumonia!
	How is it undiagnosed?
	Because this is meant to put fear into you over children!
	Tonight, the World Health Organization consulting with health authorities reporting an increase in respite-free illnesses, but crucially, not detecting any unusual or novel diseases.
	The WHO noticing the uptick in cases may not be so unexpected, given that the Yes, this is China's first flu season since COVID restrictions were lifted, similar to what you might remember happened in the U.S.
	after lockdowns ended.
	But scientists are continuing to monitor this very closely.
	Meanwhile, in the U.S., RSV cases are on the rise, especially in southern states.
	The CDC saying children under five are being hospitalized at the highest rate.
	Health officials urging families to be vigilant as they start gathering indoors for the holiday season.
	So what I'll say about ABC is they immediately go to their sponsors.
	Hey, hey, there's something going on in China.
	RSV.
	Hey, maybe we can get some more people interested in that RSV vaccine, which costs $1,000, which they can't sell to anybody.
	But if we go to WION, our go-to gal, They have a little more detail on what's happening with China's walking pneumonia outbreak.
	We begin with the outbreak in China.
	It's too big to ignore.
	They're clocking more than 10,000 cases a day.
	Most of the patients are children.
	They're coming down with a mysterious pneumonia.
	They have infected lungs and fever, but the cause of the illness is still unclear.
	We don't know exactly what this disease is.
	And China won't say how many cases there are or how widespread the outbreak is.
	Unofficially, it's been called a walking pneumonia.
	Officially, China is not sure what it's dealing with.
	But here's what we've been able to piece together.
	It's massive.
	Thousands of patients, mostly children.
	There is anecdotal evidence from key hotspots like China's capital, Beijing.
	The Beijing Children's Hospital is overwhelmed.
	They're getting 7,000 patients a day.
	That's the daily average.
	7,000 patients.
	Another hot spot is Tianjin.
	It's a metropolis in northern China, close to Beijing.
	Last Saturday, Tianjin reported a big surge.
	Over 13,000 cases in 24 hours.
	And this is just from one hospital, the Tianjin Children's Hospital.
	The biggest one in the city, this hospital.
	And remember what the pandemic taught us.
	These numbers are only a conservative estimate.
	They do not reflect the full scale of the crisis.
	If 13,000 patients end up in hospital, there are most likely many more outside, many more carrying the infection.
	Okay, I have two questions for you.
	One, what is walking pneumonia?
	Rocking pneumonia is the kind of, you have pneumonia, but you can wander around and it's easy to find you may be short of breath, which is common.
	It's used in rock and roll lyrics, rocking pneumonia and the boogie woogie blues, if you recall.
	I think this is mass hysteria.
	Yes, and this is perfect to hype up because that's exactly what happened the beginning of COVID.
	We saw people, remember the anonymous nurse?
	Who came out in New York and she said, I'm seeing people come in, they're just freaked out.
	They don't have anything.
	They don't even have, they have a sniffle.
	But they're freaked out and they got palpitations, they're fainting, they're so freaked out by the media, which is not yet cranked up yet in America.
	Here's question two.
	Would you be so kind as to keep your eye on San Francisco where Xi and his Chinese delegation just was with their nasty, infected, seething, oozing, walking pneumonia bodies?
	I think they dropped the ball on that.
	They can still pick it up.
	They can still pick it up.
	But they gotta hurry.
	It's too late.
	They gotta hurry.
	No, I think they can still pick it up.
	I don't know.
	It took a while for them to remember.
	We had to see videos of TikTok videos of Chinese fall on their face.
	Yeah, having the shakes, having white powder sprayed all over and being dragged out of the car.
	But how about this?
	Where's Bill Gates immediately saying, all right, everybody, this is probably nothing.
	We got our health force one on the case.
	This is what we talked about.
	We know how to do this.
	Helicopters are landing, we're going to sweep the streets of San Francisco, make sure everything's okay.
	Isn't this what we learned from the pandemic?
	Why are we ignoring this?
	The playbook is vague.
	I just want to make sure we keep our eye on it because we didn't... I'll keep an eye on San Francisco and wait for it because...
	If it happens, it'll happen within the next seven days.
	It has to.
	No, I agree.
	It has to.
	It has to hurry.
	It has to happen pretty quickly.
	Monitor the local news.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Be monitoring.
	Read two steps.
	Yes.
	Two stages.
	One, you announce what's happening.
	And then the second one, some expert comes to us and may, it may attribute it.
	This could be because the Chinese delegation.
	I mean, that'll be the second step where they blame it on the Chinese.
	That would be good.
	That's the way you have to do it at this point.
	And then we got to shut down all flights from China.
	Well, maybe, maybe.
	Listen, they've Trump would do it.
	But John, they've been pushing this RSV, which yes, agreed, it has existed, it's dangerous to little babies, but it hasn't been a huge thing, certainly not for older people, but they've been pushing this vaccine for what, six months now, maybe even more?
	Now is their shot!
	You can't tell me that Albert Bourla is not looking at this going, Oh my God, this is another shot for us.
	We need to make more billions.
	There will be another pandemic.
	His stock is in the tank.
	I'd be out there.
	Yeah, you would.
	And you hear them already, and you hear them already connecting what's happening in China to RSV.
	Oh yeah.
	I'll be careful this holiday season.
	RSV.
	Yeah, and yes, mass hysteria.
	Of course, we also want to cover up what's going on in the Philippines.
	I have a clip.
	It's 45 seconds.
	I'll tell you what the guy is saying.
	This is the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines, Dan Fernandez.
	Good old Dan.
	And he says, hey, we have to start an investigation into the 260,000 excess deaths.
	The copy of the said resolution, this is about a 260,000 excess deaths that we experience in this country.
	We'll be showing a graph.
	We are shocked to find out that there were 262,000 deaths in 2021 alone.
	authority.
	And sa DOH, meron din po silang mga copies that have been submitted, datas.
	And we are shocked to find out that there were 262,000 deaths on 2021 alone.
	And after that, 2022, nagkaroon pa rin ng 67,000 deaths.
	And these are all unexplained deaths.
	So these are not COVID deaths.
	Deaths.
	Deaths.
	Sudden deaths.
	Deaths.
	Unexplained deaths.
	Unexplained deaths.
	Yeah.
	None of this is good.
	Nobody's going to get into it.
	They're going to let it pass over.
	Oh, man.
	You're just so cynical.
	We live in a clean communications ecosystem.
	Trustful.
	What was it again?
	I've got to write it down.
	What was the phrase?
	I'll tell you again.
	Yes, please.
	Truth-based, transparent media.
	Truth-based, transparent media.
	Yeah, that's us.
	That's the world we live in.
	Well, and so then there's this.
	Let me see, where is, um...
	This is, this is, they even say it in the clip here, which is really quite phenomenal.
	Tonight, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd hospitalized after being stabbed at the Arizona prison where he's serving a more than 20 year sentence.
	A law enforcement source tells NBC News that Derek Chauvin was seriously injured from the attack, which happened at a medium security federal correctional institution in Tucson.
	Chauvin was transferred there as part of a plea deal that allowed him to move out of a high security state prison in Minnesota.
	Find the defendant guilty.
	In 2021, Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd after being recorded on video kneeling on Floyd's neck for about nine minutes.
	In a statement, the Bureau of Prisons confirmed an assault happened around 12.30 p.m.
	local time Friday, but did not name Chauvin.
	The agency said employers performed life-saving measures before transferring the inmate to the hospital.
	Is there a concern about security in prison for high-profile inmates?
	There is always a security concern for people who are famous or infamous or police officers, law enforcement in prisons.
	Medium security does not mean medium safety.
	The stabbing comes after Chauvin recently spoke out for a new documentary where he calls his trial a sham and says the knee restraint was a technique he learned in police training.
	Axle restraint technique right in their written policy manual.
	And no comment tonight from Chauvin's attorney.
	The Office for the Minnesota Attorney General says Chauvin is expected to survive.
	So two things about this.
	One is this documentary just came out about a week and a half ago called The Fall of Minneapolis.
	I don't know if you've seen it by any chance.
	I tried to watch it.
	You found it unwatchable?
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	I thought it was quite interesting.
	I couldn't watch it, I'm sorry.
	And the two things that jump out, both we have covered and we knew, is that indeed this particular move is covered in the police training manual, and two, that George Floyd basically died of an overdose and the autopsy showed it.
	Right.
	So of course the coincidence of this, and it's a crowdfunded documentary, so it's available for free, it's out there.
	I have a link to it in the show notes.
	So the coincidence of this guy getting shivved in prison while this thing just drops is one.
	The other one is, hello Trump!
	It's a message.
	If we get you in jail, you're gonna get shivved.
	Don't you think?
	Well, that's an interesting interpretation I didn't anticipate.
	Oh, I thought of that immediately.
	Yeah, don't show up here with your truth-based transparent thinking.
	Well, my thoughts on it were just the opposite of that.
	Oh, interesting.
	I'm thinking that they're setting this guy up, this cop, to get a clemency.
	Uh, it's gonna be too unsafe for him, they're showing that, you know, now they have to look back at the old evidence, and it's quite likely he didn't really kill the guy.
	Oh, and, oh, very, wow, but that- Blah, blah, blah, so you come out with the movie.
	They can't do that, you can't, this is what the whole George Floyd, this is what the Black Lives Matter riots are based on!
	They can slip it in without a lot of publicity and he'll be out.
	Wow.
	Okay, I hadn't thought of that one.
	I'm a little more cynical.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	It's not good.
	They're having enough trouble getting police recruited.
	They're gonna have to cut this guy some slack.
	Meanwhile, plenty of other messages going out.
	In particular, here's what you... Do not...
	Mayors and governors of America, do not speak against our immigration policy.
	Do not complain about what we're doing here in the White House.
	Because we're gonna re-educate you.
	This morning, New York Mayor Eric Adams denies knowing the woman who claims in a court filing he sexually assaulted her in 1993.
	It's, uh, absolutely not true.
	You know, I would never do anything to harm anyone.
	Just really, something absolutely that has never happened.
	And I don't recall ever meeting a person who made this allegation.
	The woman's legal filing contained no details but said Adams caused physical, psychological, and other injuries suffered as a result of conduct that would constitute sexual offenses when they both worked for the city 30 years ago.
	Adams was a police captain at the time.
	Now this is what's interesting because there's a whole bunch of these for one particular reason which I was unaware of.
	The woman filed her claim under New York's Adult Survivors Act that allowed sexual misconduct accusers to file civil lawsuits that would have otherwise been barred by the statute of limitations.
	Actor Jamie Foxx is also facing a claim under the Adult Survivors Act by a woman who said he sexually assaulted her at a rooftop bar in 2015.
	He said the alleged incident never happened and now he's threatening legal action of his own.
	And a former model accused Guns N' Roses frontman Axel Rose of a violent 1989 sexual assault under the same law.
	His attorney called the claim fictional and said it never happened.
	Sean Combs, who recently settled one lawsuit filed under the Adult Survivors Act, was hit with a second.
	By a woman who says he drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1991.
	Combs denied it, a spokesperson calling the claim made up and not credible, and saying in a statement to ABC News, this last minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head.
	So all these lawsuits came out because this law is expiring.
	This adult assault law.
	And I think the, I think it has expired now.
	So everybody had to get their, uh, this lawsuit against Mayor Adams got in like the night before, which is good news, John, because woo!
	We dodged the bullet there.
	This is, this is amazing.
	This is what the, that lady sued Trump over under this same law.
	Yeah.
	So, you know, I don't know, man.
	Eric Adams didn't sound very convincing, I have to say.
	This is absolutely not true.
	Well, one way or the other, there's still a Biden play.
	Oh, of course, of course.
	As a New York mayor, bitchin' and moanin' and then cuttin'.
	You know, getting the Cardi B thing to happen.
	We never played it because it's just expletive laden.
	It's extremely offensive.
	But she starts off by saying, hey y'all, if I get disappeared, I'm not suicidal.
	I'm Cardi B. I love that part.
	She's grousing to an extreme.
	She's not going to get disappeared.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	But yeah, it's just all crazy.
	Everything is so incredibly political and people are just falling for it.
	We're still back and forth, back and forth about Palestine.
	Oh my goodness.
	So they had a big protest in I think it was London and they claimed 300,000 people which I'm right on board I'm sure it was that big but this, you know, the signs are professional and the spokesperson you'll hear is a spokesperson for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign
	The bombs in Gaza may have fallen silent for now, but around the world calls for a permanent end to the violence continue to grow louder.
	Organisers estimated at least 300,000 marched through central London on Saturday in what marks the seventh straight week of demonstrations in the UK supporting Palestinians.
	Their demands throughout that time have remained the same, a permanent end to the crisis in Gaza, not just a pause.
	Week after week, pro-Palestinian protests have paralyzed the streets of Western cities.
	While the demands for a permanent ceasefire still haven't been met, there is a growing belief here that their voice is one that's being heard.
	There is no doubt.
	Israel did not want to agree to this temporary pause.
	The deal, if finally accepted, was put on the table two or three weeks ago.
	It didn't want to accept it.
	Why has it accepted it?
	It's accepted it because it has been put under some pressure by governments, international governments, particularly Western governments.
	But why are they doing that?
	They're doing that because across the piece, here in the UK but also elsewhere, people are making clear that their governments are not representing their views.
	Similar action was seen on Saturday elsewhere in Europe.
	In Frankfurt, the number of marches was smaller, but no less vocal.
	So I go to the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is at palestinecampaign.org, and they are not a non-profit.
	They say themselves, we are a political organization.
	They are big movers behind the BDS movement, Boycott, Divest and Sanctify!
	Whatever it is.
	And who are our patrons?
	Who's at the top of the list?
	John Austin, former Labour MP.
	Jeremy Corbyn, Labour MP.
	Victoria Britton.
	Editor Guardian.
	These are leftist statists.
	Who only want you to vote out the current politicians.
	They don't care about babies and incubators.
	I sure wouldn't think so.
	It's all, it's just all political.
	Just like we're doing in the United States.
	And, oh, let's spin everybody up.
	Get them all wacky.
	And then tell them to vote that guy out.
	That's all that it is.
	I don't know.
	In that case, definitely.
	There's no sincerity whatsoever.
	Now, you talked earlier about the protests in Israel.
	They are protesting in front of the Prime Minister's home, BB's pad.
	And here is, now this, so this is from TRT, of course, the Turkish radio and television, which will get, you know, so take that for the slant they have.
	Uh, so this is one guy.
	His name is Etai.
	He's mic'd up, so it's not like a man on the street.
	It's like, hey, stand here, let me mic you up.
	And let's hear what he has to say.
	I have never, for one single moment in my life, have trusted this man.
	I think he's a psychopath.
	I think he's a lunatic.
	Not just I think that.
	Lots of people.
	I would never trust him with anything.
	Not him, not his government.
	They're dangerous people.
	They're extremists.
	They're fascists.
	They're racists.
	They're fanatics.
	They don't want peace.
	They want war because it serves their own self-interest.
	While most of the people on both sides You know, Israelis, Palestinians alike, they are the people who pay the price.
	They are the ones who suffer.
	They are the ones whose lives are lost while they keep the power in their hands.
	Netanyahu is just like Donald Trump, just like Milosevic, just like Hitler.
	It's all Hitler.
	It all comes back to Hitler.
	And Donald Trump.
	power in their hands and they don't care if everything else crumbles.
	They can destroy everything just as long as they remain in power.
	Just like Hitler.
	He told the German people, you're not worthy of living because if I go down, you go down with me.
	Same thing with him.
	It's all Hitler.
	It all comes back to Hitler and Donald Trump.
	That was beautiful.
	Except it was overmodulated.
	It learned Trump.
	You can't beat it.
	It was a little over-modulated.
	TRT needs some work on their audio.
	They could do better there.
	They could do better.
	A little update on the investigation from the Department of Education, because as you know, we're also a civil rights organization.
	We gotta dive in, see what's happening, because we can't have any more of this Genocide Joe talk.
	No, no, no.
	NBC, take it away.
	The Department of Education is now investigating alleged harassment complaints.
	It's just been really, really challenging for people on this campus.
	When I'm seeing my peers march down the streets chanting things like, from the river to the sea, which we've seen as really a call for genocide or an ethnic cleansing of Jewish people.
	Many Jewish students see that slogan, from the river to the sea.
	The thing says, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
	So the question is, where is it from the river to the sea Palestinians shouldn't feel safe?
	That's a better question I think we should entertain.
	Let's look at the map and say, I want Palestinians to be free, I want Jewish folk to be free everywhere from the river to the sea.
	That's what it means.
	My problem is with that slogan in specific, not whatever message anyone thinks they're sharing with it, because Hamas has used it.
	It's been appropriated by a terrorist organization.
	Cornell has increased security and promised new programs to fight anti-Semitism, and tells NBC News they condemn all forms of discriminatory bias.
	Yeah, okay, fine.
	My favorite propaganda technique that I see is, I didn't clip it because it's just way too long, but there's a Muslim woman, Muslima, and she has the, just her face is visible, so that's not, it's obviously not a burqa, it's not the, what is that?
	That's the... The hijab?
	Is that the hijab?
	Maybe the hijab.
	I think that's the hijab.
	Or a knee job is where you tackle a guy too low.
	And it goes like this.
	Do you know Roald Dahl?
	Roald Dahl who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
	Roald Dahl who wrote James and the Giant Peach.
	That guy loved by children all around the world.
	Have you ever heard of his book Going Solo?
	Is that about masturbation?
	You're just full of them today, aren't you?
	Oh my goodness.
	Roald Dahl was a pilot in the Royal Air Force, and in 1938, and it's a very shortened version how they tell this, he landed in Palestine.
	And this is like, he was in Palestine!
	Don't you get it?
	He was in Palestine!
	It was Palestine!
	He landed in Palestine!
	It wasn't Israel, it was Palestine!
	So easily disregarding the entire region was Palestine, including Syria, Golan Heights, And then, you know, and this somehow is supposed to prove that that wasn't, it was in 1938.
	It wasn't Israel, it was Palestine!
	1938?
	It was, the British ran the whole joint in 1938.
	That's true.
	Are you forgetting something?
	Britain ran the joint after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
	It's the lack of history The knowledge of history is astounding.
	It's not really astounding.
	It's disappointing.
	Well, there's that.
	You know, to the point where we're going to ruin our Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
	Also, New York City pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
	Free Palestine!
	Demonstrators jumped barricades and ran into the street with some gluing their hands to the ground.
	They were later taken into custody.
	This comes amid heightened tensions over the war in the Middle East.
	ABC News has learned that pro-Palestinian protesters plan to demonstrate at shopping malls across the country on Black Friday.
	So we finally found a protester who's doing, or someone who's Islamophobic.
	It's been very difficult to find this.
	You know, this is why Genocide Joe there in the White House is saying, hey, you know, we won't tolerate anti-Semitism or Islamophobia.
	Which I still think should be semaphobia and Islamophobia.
	Okay.
	But we found a guy.
	We found the guy and uh-oh.
	In New York City, a one-time advisor to President Obama was arrested after he was caught on camera harassing a street vendor with an Islamophobic rant.
	Stephanie Gosk has details.
	I'm working now, okay?
	Can you leave please?
	If we killed 4,000 Palestinian kids, you know what?
	It wasn't enough.
	Oh no!
	You're a terrorist!
	You support terrorism!
	You go!
	Seldo is a former national security advisor for President Obama, but rates a street vendor in Manhattan.
	You're a terrorist.
	You support terrorism.
	I'm not some bull.
	I'm just working here.
	Hurling Islamophobic insults.
	Did you rape your daughter like Mohammed?
	I don't speak English.
	That just shows how ignorant you are.
	You're an American citizen?
	How?
	How did you become an American citizen?
	How did you become an American assistant?
	At one point, taunting him by taking his picture.
	The 64-year-old is facing multiple charges, including stalking as a hate crime and harassment, according to the NYPD.
	Man, why did it have to be one of our guys?
	You know, what's funny is that they say it's hard to watch.
	Yeah, because it's really boring.
	He has a zinger every few minutes, but it's like, you watch this guy, he's just basically standing in front of this guy's stand, where, you know, a falafel place.
	The guy's a Coptic Christian, by the way, who runs the stand.
	And the guy's standing there, he's yakking away, yakking away, and yakking away.
	It's like, who the hell, you can't watch it.
	It was boring, I agree.
	What a joker.
	And, uh, anyway, it seems like, uh, you know, we got to shut this thing down too, because this is very annoying to, uh, Genocide Joe.
	And we got to, we got to come up with solutions.
	BB, BB, you got people out there talking to you like, like you're Trump.
	So you don't want to be Trump or Hitler.
	So BB, do something.
	How about, can we do a little thing with some hostages?
	And over the next three days we're expecting to see more hostages released, 50 in all, but there are hopes that perhaps that number could increase further.
	Yeah, so 50 is over the course of this what was agreed to be a four-day ceasefire, but there is in the agreement what has been termed an option to extend For a further five days and you would see in that period anywhere between 10, 11, 12 up to 13 hostages released again per day and in return for each hostage that is released three Palestinian prisoners would be freed by Israel.
	Now my understanding of this is that it would be a maximum of five days because the entire scope of this agreement is around civilian women and children.
	It's thought that there are around a hundred in that category held captive by Hamas in Gaza.
	So after that point that takes you to around a hundred people.
	I mean if they got to a point where a hundred civilian women and children were freed you would then be into other categories of captives that would include soldiers and also the men being held.
	Now they are not part of the scope of this agreement and that's why it's always been termed as a maximum sort of nine days And after that you've got both sides saying the war will go on.
	Biden, who knows if this was a gaffe or intentional, we don't know anymore with our president.
	Because he doesn't really know.
	I don't really have any proof of what I'm saying, but let me just throw something out there.
	Next question, please.
	Mr. President, you said you were hoping to get cooperation from Arab leaders.
	What are you hearing from them when you talk to them?
	What would you like to see them do?
	Hoping to get cooperation from Arab leaders to release some hostages.
	What do you say, Mr. President?
	I'm hearing a lot, but I'm not going to speak to it right now.
	There's an overwhelming desire on the part of the region to... Let me back up.
	I cannot prove what I'm about to say, but I believe one of the reasons why Hamas struck when they did was they knew that I was working very closely with the Saudis and others in the region You mean Trump's Abram Accords?
	That's what you were doing, Mr. President?
	I mean recognition of Israel and Israel's right to exist.
	Wait a minute.
	You mean Trump's Abram Accords?
	That's what you were doing, Mr. President.
	You may recall when we did the G20 about a little while ago, I was able to get a resolution, a statement passed through there saying we're going to build a railroad from Riyadh all the way through the Middle East into Saudi Arabia, Israel, et cetera, and all the way up to Europe.
	What?
	Not the railroad, but it would be an underground pipeline and then railroad.
	An underground pipeline, railroad, what?
	That's crazy.
	Not the railroad, but it would be an underground pipeline and then railroad.
	The whole idea is there's overwhelming interest, and I think most Arab nations know it, in coordinating with one another to change the dynamic in their region for a longer term peace.
	And that is what I'm going to continue to work on.
	But I have no evidence of it.
	Jeez.
	What is he doing?
	You know, that whole thing that you just played was was play.
	I don't have a clip with it where they're doing it, but R.T.
	played that clip and ridiculed him endlessly saying he's not he's taking credit for stuff that nobody that we already know is being done here, there and everywhere else.
	Besides him, he's out of the loop.
	They went on and on about it.
	It was actually quite funny, although it was hard to prove one way or the other.
	But they definitely are in the mood for.
	And I think Tara Reid's got something to do with mocking him.
	Well, she's the one.
	She's good at it.
	She's good at this stuff.
	Who knew?
	Who knew?
	I do have one kind of an odd report that I did pick up that we have never heard of.
	Okay.
	And this is the U.S.
	attacks.
	You know, when the Iranians were sending missiles into hitting some of our bases in Syria and Iraq, we countered with a few bombing runs.
	Yeah.
	Well, I guess one of the ones we did in Iraq was not against the Iranians, but against the Iraqis, and they passed a bunch of laws about it, and they want us out of the country.
	I think again, the Middle East, once again, the U.S.
	has unleashed airstrikes on what it says were Iranian-backed forces in Iraq.
	The attack was carried out by the AC-130 gunship known for its side-mounted guttling guns and airborne artillery.
	Eight Iraqi troops were killed at the al-Assad airbase.
	Baghdad has condemned the act as a direct violation of its sovereignty.
	The US strikes were conducted without the notice of the Iraqi government in what was an unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty.
	Now, we earlier spoke with independent politician Saad al-Mutalbi, who strongly condemned the U.S.
	attack on Iraqi territory.
	To start with, these are Iraqi fighters with a law that was passed in the Iraqi parliament, and they belong with their movements and their affiliation to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense.
	And partially to the mobilization units.
	So public mobilization headquarters.
	So they are backed by Iraq and not by Iran.
	They were shooting up the place.
	Yeah.
	And you know, and they don't want us there, part two, I think they discuss it a bit more.
	And the attack on these soldiers and fighters was a severe and gross violation of Iraq's sovereignty.
	This is completely condemned and we think that the Americans again have violated the agreement they have with the Republic of Iraq.
	Therefore, we think that the agreement that we have with the Americans, or many people in Iraq think that this agreement is null and void and has no consequences whatsoever.
	So why do we have the American advisors since they are not really advisors, they are a fighting force?
	It's like, why are we there?
	Therefore, there are many calls now in Iraqi parliament for the Americans to cease their presence in Iraq and move away from any type of military representation.
	Oh, yeah.
	So, wait, the advisers aren't just advisers?
	That doesn't sound right.
	It's like, why are we there?
	I thought we left.
	In the middle of the night, we took off.
	We left Iraq and left the Green Zone to itself.
	And then we still have the base for some reason.
	I mean, do we have any respect for another country's sovereignty?
	We have a base in Syria?
	Well, you and I do.
	And I think many people who listen to this show do.
	But the military industrial complex, who has captured the entire political system, clearly does not.
	If you want an answer.
	No, I didn't really want an answer.
	I just like to complain.
	But I want to talk about COP 29, which is coming up this week.
	Very big event.
	This is the big one.
	This is the big, big, big, big, big, really big show.
	The tipping point.
	Oh, there's a lot going on.
	Now, what we're trying to have happen is it would be great if we could have some volcanic eruptions in Iceland.
	Because this would really bring it home, because you know, climate change, the glacier melt is what's causing these volcanic eruptions.
	Yeah, and of course we did get a boots on the ground report from one of our buddies, one of our producers in Iceland.
	Which I will share now.
	Good.
	And this is our resident knight in Iceland.
	His name is Night Champion of the Frozen Wastes and he has real boots on the ground inside because he has spent the last six years as a Glacier Guide.
	He runs his own private Glacier Guiding service and YouTube channel called Vivid Iceland.
	So, yes, we have lots of volcanic activity.
	In Iceland, most active volcanoes lie beneath glaciers.
	These glaciers function as counterbalance to the magmatic forces below them.
	We're talking millions of tons of ice crushing the terrain below and effectively pushing back against the uplift that magma can cause.
	Think of applying pressure to a wound to stop the bleeding.
	As you can imagine, as the glacier melts, there's less ice mass on top, the land rises due to volcanic activity, and you will likely see more eruptions.
	With that said, what all these reports leave out is that the location of the earthquake swarm is in southwest Iceland, a place with NO GLACIERS!
	Yeah.
	There's no glaciers there.
	Yeah, it's bullcrap.
	Which is funny because they won't talk about that.
	No.
	But he also did, I think that's the letter that has the 40-year cycle that he highlighted.
	You can read that.
	Yes.
	Yes, they are retreating, melting, but according to the records from the Icelandic Met Office, there appears to be a 40-ish year cycle of glacial retreat, and then a period, again, of glacial advance for about 40 years.
	According to the climactic data...
	Climatic, sorry, Freud.
	Climatic data I've seen over my guiding career here, we should be entering the glacial advancement stage within the next five to ten years.
	The winters certainly have felt colder over the last two years and we've seen record snowfall in many areas which would lead to glacial advance a few years down the track.
	Oh goodness, there's your boots on the ground from a guy who actually takes people on guided tours over the glaciers.
	But just believe the... Heaven forbid!
	...the truth-based transparent media.
	So, back to COP 29, this is the big one, and I believe it's in Saudi Arabia, I think, is where it's being held?
	Some place you have to fly into.
	Gotta fly in, it's gonna be great, you're gonna have special papers so you can drink, and I think Pierre is coming in from Paris to do the lady's hair, and well, we have a moment of truth!
	The COP 28 summit taking place... Oh, I thought it was 29.
	Is it 28?
	I don't know.
	I don't keep the numbers.
	...in Dubai just next week.
	And the International Energy Agency has released a report saying that this is a moment of truth for the oil and gas industry, which needs to decide whether it wants to deepen the climate crisis or help fix it.
	The report shows that the oil industry currently only accounts for 1% of global investment in clean energy, while meanwhile being responsible for about 15% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.
	And that may not seem like a huge amount, but that's just in its own operations, so extracting oil and gas from the ground, processing the fuels and delivering them to consumers, for example.
	A UN analysis released earlier this month showed that the planet is set to heat up by nearly 3 degrees Celsius by the end of the century.
	If we're to stand any chance of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees, the IEA says drastic measures need to be put into place.
	And what do those include?
	Well, the report is quite clear in what it wants from oil and gas players, and that the solution is twofold.
	It wants them to cut the pollution we mentioned earlier by more than 60%, something it says isn't too difficult, especially when it comes to methane emissions, and it needs to ramp up its investment in renewables.
	Which currently only stands at about 2.5% of its total capital spending.
	It's interesting to note as well that the report says the oil and gas industry needs to let go of carbon capture as a solution to climate change because it's simply not adapted to the scale of its emissions.
	Oh, that doesn't work anymore.
	Oh, go figure.
	Since when?
	Well, since COP 28 or 29 or whatever it is.
	Hey, I'm having dinner.
	With the oil baron on Thursday, so I'll hear how well his stocks are doing, and how much more BlackRock has invested, because this is great for the oil and gas industry.
	But I have, I think, figured out what this is going to be about, every single cup.
	Has a goal.
	It is, of course, to move the needle.
	We want to move it a little bit further.
	Make people afraid, worried about the world coming to an end.
	Scare young children into not even wanting to start families of their own because why bother?
	We're all going to die.
	You don't want to see your child die in flames or in the water, the boiling water.
	You don't want to see them die like lobsters in a pot.
	And your own news.
	I did this report and I think we now know what the point is of this COP.
	A week before world leaders meet for the COP28 climate summit in July, Canada's hosted EU leaders for a summit in Newfoundland.
	Whilst there, they signed up to the Green Alliance, a package of environmental pledges to limit climate change to one and a half degrees.
	On green issues, we've been aligned for so long with the European Union in knowing that the economy and the environment don't just have to go together, they do go together.
	There's a lot of consequences for our societies and climate change.
	It requires innovation, so I would strengthen our ambition to work together to innovate, to develop more technologies, to resolve those difficulties and those challenges together.
	They've agreed to expand carbon pricing, which is a climate change tax, to 60% of global emissions by 2030.
	There it is.
	The goal of COP28 is to get pricing.
	They desperately need the pricing of carbon, estimated to be somewhere between $50 and $100 per ton of carbon.
	They don't even say carbon dioxide, just carbon.
	Just carbon.
	Carbon, you know, black, dirty, sooty carbon.
	And that is your tax.
	That is your global tax that will be taxed on everything you do, everything you eat, everywhere you go, every move you make.
	Oh, you have a washing machine?
	Here's the carbon tax that goes on top of that for dirtying the world.
	That's the point of COP28.
	They need to get... Yeah, that would be a good point.
	That would be the one to do.
	Now, in small ways, we're feeling a climate change mitigation here.
	Interesting article from LiveAndLetFly.com.
	We know that in the United States, but I believe it will be worldwide if it isn't already, and one of my buddies from Holland, he's a KLM 747 pilot.
	I think he's coming in next week.
	I hope to be able to talk to him because he would know.
	He's a captain.
	They're doing these new approaches.
	The approach now, instead of going down in a stair-step fashion, going from flight level to flight level to avoid any chop or any jet-wash turbulence from other aircraft, is a thing of the past.
	We need to save on fuel so the airlines can get their carbon credits, their their goody-goody points.
	So they're just retarding the engines and we're basically, we're gliding all the way down so we use very little fuel and passengers be damned.
	And here is the article.
	Why service will end earlier on your next United Airlines flight?
	Effective December 1st, 2023, flight attendants must be safely buckled into their jump seats for landing no later than the double chime at approximately 10,000 feet above the ground.
	So short-haul flights, you're never going to see a beverage.
	No.
	And why is this?
	It even says in the article, at lower flight altitudes, pilots are conducting approach maneuvers and aircraft sensor data has shown an elevated risk for turbulence.
	Yes, because of your approach maneuvers.
	Flight attendants have sustained significant injuries in the final approach phase of the flight.
	Sure.
	But none of this is necessary.
	None of it.
	And what are you really saving?
	I mean, seriously.
	But you need to be as uncomfortable as possible because of climate change.
	People are going to be puking, scared, scared.
	Yeah, a lot of people don't like turbulence.
	Most people don't like turbulence.
	Yeah.
	But who cares?
	We're sorry, ladies and gentlemen, due to climate change, there's some turbulence up ahead.
	Remember, pay your climate tax, your carbon tax.
	Thank you.
	Ding ding.
	Flight attendants, please be seated.
	That's, that's, it's, it's so sad.
	We're ruining life.
	For a hoax.
	Yeah, well.
	For a hoax.
	I remember my, my, uh, turbulence story.
	Oh.
	I'm in some, I'm down in the Southern California region and I'm going through, uh, we're coming in from, I think from Phoenix to, uh, uh, Ontario.
	And, um, Ontario, California or Ontario, Canada?
	Ontario, California.
	Southern California.
	And all of a sudden the plane gets jerked all over the place.
	The wings look like they're going to seem like they're going to come out.
	It's just a huge mess.
	It was just unbelievable.
	It was the worst experience I've ever had in an airplane.
	And the pilot comes on and says, I'm sorry that we had pierced it.
	We've gone through the wake of a B-2 bomber.
	That'll do it.
	Yeah.
	And we're not giving a heads up or anything.
	We're very sorry.
	So I am on a plane, some overseas flight, and I'm sitting next to one of these sales guys who is basically flying all the time.
	And so we start exchanging flight stories about our horror stories.
	And I tell him the story about going through the wake of a B-2 bomber.
	And he says, oh really, you think that was bad?
	And then he says to me, did all the overhead compartments open up and throw luggage all over the place, knocking people in the head?
	I'm guessing not.
	No?
	He says, oh, well then you have not been through real turbulence.
	So that was the end of that story.
	So I haven't been through real turbulence, so I don't know what that's like.
	I didn't really have the crescendo I was expecting.
	I was waiting for more of a climax, but okay.
	It was an anti-climax.
	It was an anti-climatic story.
	When you sit next to one of these guys who's basically doing nothing but flying all the time.
	Yeah.
	You can't beat him.
	Forget talking to him about flying.
	You can't beat him.
	You can't beat him.
	Of course, all these problems will go away when we have electric planes.
	That was a good laugh.
	Once we have electric planes, it'll be fine.
	Then we can just, you know, there'll be no jet wash.
	It'll be beautiful.
	You'll fly for exactly 22 minutes.
	Yeah, there'll be a lot of little stopover points.
	There's charging stations.
	You fly for 20 minutes, just go to the charging station and you sit there for two hours.
	Let it recharge.
	Hop, hop.
	I'm sorry.
	Off you go.
	We laugh, but sadly it's not a laughing matter.
	It's bad.
	I got an interesting note this morning about Sam Altman's sister.
	Did you know that Sam Altman has a sister?
	No, I don't know that.
	Who likes to write on Medium.
	Okay, a lot of people do.
	I have experienced... Nobody goes there because you can't anyway, yeah?
	Her name is Annie.
	Annie?
	Annie Altman.
	I have experienced drama like the OpenAI drama.
	I grew up in it.
	I was repeatedly told, quote, not to talk about it and to allow another person to remove my human agency.
	I have lived under my sibling's authority my whole life.
	The narrative of Annie is crazy and Annie doesn't know how to take care of herself is what I was raised and conditioned in.
	That narrative, along with intentionally conditional love, is what was used to control me my whole life.
	Ugh.
	I mean, she even accuses him of, uh, incest.
	Oh.
	Geez.
	Yes.
	Well, that's not good.
	It's sewer.
	Well, I mean, this whole thing is...
	Is there a link in the show notes?
	We should all read it.
	Yes, there is a link in the show notes.
	And she even says something weird here about... Let me see.
	Let me just find where it is.
	So she began in-person sex work in late 2020 to be able to financially support herself and then later with virtual sex.
	And she says, somewhere in here, she says, you know, thanks, Sam.
	I helped you figure out your sexuality after you climbed in bed with me night after night.
	It's creepy.
	Oh, God!
	Yeah, this whole thing is creepy.
	Oh, that's not a good thing for him.
	It's not a good thing for her.
	I'll have to read that.
	I'm going to switch gears before we get to the break.
	Because I watched the K part and they had some woman from The Beacon on the PBS.
	The Beacon?
	And I just want two clips.
	What's The Beacon?
	The Beacon.
	The Free Beacon.
	You've seen it.
	It's an online newspaper.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Where are they located?
	The Free Beacon?
	In Washington D.C.
	there was the Washington Free Beacon, and they would put this, because nobody on Friday, this last Friday, everyone's on vacation, nobody's watching it, so they actually put someone there that's maybe not a blatant liberal leftist progressive.
	Oh, wait a minute, someone else snuck in while everyone was out partying?
	Well, Brooke went on vacation, but Capehart Did the show from home, and I have two clips from him because one of them is just too good.
	Wait a minute, so he was just by himself on a show that's supposed to be red-blue?
	No, he's by himself with the woman from the Free Beacon.
	Oh, okay.
	He's by himself at home.
	Right, okay.
	On the Zoom.
	On the Zoom.
	So here we go with it.
	I just want to play this so we know why people love Biden.
	They're going to vote for Biden and people think that Biden is going to get kicked out of office.
	Maybe wrong.
	Let's listen to K-Part talking about Biden.
	Right now, when we most need it.
	This is the time when President Biden is at his best.
	He knows what he's doing.
	And I just wish that Democrats in general and the American public in particular would give him the grace and give him the room To exert American will and American pressure as much as he can on a situation that is infinitely more complex than a lot of his critics give it credit for.
	This is Israel Hamas that he's talking about?
	Yeah, yeah, he's talking about that, and Biden knows what he's doing.
	He does.
	So shut up.
	I don't have any proof of what I'm saying, but I know what I'm doing.
	So at the end of it, they introduced a Thanksgiving segment, and I just thought this was too rich not to cut and play.
	I have 40 seconds left and I will say that I am grateful on this Thanksgiving for my family and their support.
	So each of you have 20 seconds.
	Jonathan Capehart, what are you grateful for?
	Nick, I'm grateful for science.
	On Sunday, I tested positive for COVID.
	So I've been at home since Sunday.
	And three years ago, right now, the nation was listening to ambulance sirens, hearing about hospitals that were overflowing with people who had come down with coronavirus, folks who were intubated, folks who passed away without being able to see their family.
	And because of science, I got a positive COVID diagnosis.
	The science is in!
	Science!
	May the science be with you!
	He had a positive COVID test because of the science?
	Yeah, he's at home with COVID.
	Because of the science?
	Because of the science, yeah.
	Did he mention the science gave him the vaccine and that he shouldn't have COVID or did he forget to?
	He doesn't get into that kind of detail, come on.
	Oh, that's good.
	That's good.
	Have you seen the... I want to play this just before the break because it just tickles me.
	Have you seen the AI Indiana?
	Anna Indiana.
	I'm sorry?
	Anna Indiana.
	This is the latest in artificial intelligence.
	Anna Indiana is an AI robot babe animated thing.
	And not only is she...
	Her image, her movements, her speech, but also the song is completely created by artificial intelligence.
	Ooh.
	Oh, yes.
	No, I have not heard of this.
	Well, you tell me when you want to stop.
	Hello, world.
	My name is Anna Indiana, and I'm so excited to share my music with you.
	Here's my first song, Betrayed by This Town.
	As an AI singer-songwriter, everything from the key, tempo, chord progression, melody notes, rhythm, lyrics, and my image and singing is auto-generated using AI.
	I hope you like it.
	By the way, it's a little upbeat ditty called Betrayed by This Town.
	This Town Are you digging it?
	I'm listening.
	I want to hear a little more.
	Toe Tapper?
	It's terrible.
	everyone this town is full of broken dreams shattered hopes and silent screams do you want more are you you digging it i'm listening i want to hear a little more toe tapper it's terrible yes here we go here's the hook Betrayed by this town, let's tear it all down.
	Okay, I can stop.
	You can stop with that off-key note.
	Betrayed by this town, let's tear it all down.
	This is never going to work, people.
	Who is afraid of AI after hearing that?
	Please.
	I got a message from someone.
	You sounded like a little girl wanting to take away AR-15s.
	You have no idea what you're talking about.
	Don't compare LLMs to AGI.
	It will come within 10 hours, 10 days, or 10,000 years, but it's coming.
	What?
	Yeah.
	When did you complain about AR-15s?
	I didn't, but that was the comparison.
	You sound like a little teenage girl crying about AR-15s.
	What were you bitching about?
	About that I said AI sucks and it's never gonna get to AGI.
	It has its moments, but if it's used like this songwriter used it, it sucks, yeah.
	You cannot, you cannot replicate.
	Human talent.
	It can't be done.
	Yeah, you can.
	If you're stealing from human talent, you can.
	Yeah, and then you get this.
	Well, that's a bad example.
	No, I'm saying you may be able to steal from human talent to replicate what human talent did, but you can't create new, new talented work.
	I love my job and I love what I do.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the clean communications ecosystem.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John Cena!
	In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground.
	Feet in the air.
	Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to our trolls who have been hanging out in the troll room.
	Let's count them, shall we?
	What do you think?
	Sunday, going to be low, I'd say 2000.
	2078?
	More than you thought.
	This is not bad.
	No, much more than I thought.
	Well, but it's better than you thought, I'll take it.
	It's more than 2,000 trolls listening to this banter!
	Our witty banter live!
	You want to call it banter?
	Banter!
	I'll call it banter.
	That's exactly what it is.
	Good to see you here, trolls.
	They have been pretty active, actually.
	I only saw one or two trolls kicked for flooding.
	But otherwise, everyone's been pretty nice.
	You know, the usual stuff.
	But this is what it's for.
	So don't go on a social network trolling people.
	It's not worth it.
	You get into long, drawn-out conversations, and then you gotta check to see if you got any likes, or if someone replied angry to you, and you get all spun up, and then the minute you finish dinner, you're back on your troll alert, you're watching, and your heart rate goes up.
	No!
	You're only giving Silicon Valley more, more, more attention.
	Don't do that.
	Go to the troll room.
	Get rid of it right away.
	Bah!
	Patrol!
	And it's gone.
	And then you're gone and people go like, ah, you suck.
	And then it's then we're on to the next.
	There's no permanent record.
	It goes away.
	It's ephemeral.
	It goes away.
	It's perfect that way.
	It's good.
	It's a good thing to do.
	You can do it twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays.
	You can actually do it 24 hours a day.
	Go to TrollRoom.io where you can listen to the No Agenda stream, which is 24-7.
	Tons of live shows.
	A lot of podcasts record live now, which we kind of pioneered for everybody.
	And then you package that up, boom, send that out as your podcast for those who miss it.
	It gives you a live studio audience at the same time.
	It gives you good feedback.
	It gives you good energy.
	And that's why we love our trolls.
	Thank you for being here, trolls.
	Of course, you can also listen to the live stream and be alerted when the stream goes live.
	Find a modern podcast app, which is not connected to the Apple database or any platforms.
	No, it's modern.
	PodcastApps.com, which will give you alerts when the show goes live.
	In addition to that, if you can't listen live, when we post the show, within 90 seconds, your app will tell you, boom, it's ready for you.
	No waiting for these legacy apps to, I'm going to see if there's something new over there.
	No, get something modern.
	Right now, what are we drinking?
	I am drinking Signature.
	Oh.
	Brand, Seltzer Water Original.
	Signature brand Seltzer.
	Now, is this, what is signature brand?
	Is that, is that like a... It's one of those house brands you get at a grocery store.
	Okay, so is signature the name of the, of the chain that it's at, or?
	No, it's signature is one of those, like Lucerne, it's one of those house brand that you find in certain grocery stores.
	Hmm, okay.
	Alright, I'm drinking a Waterloo.
	Waterloo.
	I like Waterloo.
	Yeah, well it has natural flavors which we now know is basically chemicals.
	We'll wait until if you... I'm saving it for the next show because obviously we're not going to have time for it today.
	But I have a whole series of clips on...
	How these things are killing us.
	The art of the tease, ladies and gentlemen.
	How you are going to die on the next No Agenda.
	That's beautiful.
	I love that.
	And of course, there's No Agenda Social.
	You can follow along with all the trolls who like to troll and like to get into arguments and like to say, you're wrong!
	No, you're wrong!
	Jew hater!
	Muslim hater!
	It's great.
	It's a beautiful place over there.
	You can follow Adam at NoahJenTheSocial.com.
	I'm not posting anymore.
	I'm just liking and boosting.
	Or John C. Dworak.
	You have not seen a post from me.
	I'm only liking and liking and there's some there's some douchebag is Adam Curry memes.
	Oh, this is a funny account.
	Have you seen this guy?
	No.
	So he's taken, you know, my, my old logo of mine.
	He's put me and Tina in his header.
	So it's a total, uh, parody account, I guess.
	And he's posting memes.
	And they're even worse than the regular memes people post.
	It's the Adam Curry memes account.
	Yeah.
	And I was like, yeah, maybe he'll come up with a good one, but I haven't seen it yet.
	He's not boostable.
	He's not boostable yet.
	Now, we are very thankful for the producers, because we don't have listeners, we only have producers.
	You should be a producer in some form of the 3Ts, time, talents, and treasure.
	We got boots on the ground from Iceland.
	That's a perfect example of talent and time to write up the huge boots on the ground report.
	There's many people who contribute to this show in an enormous way.
	I mean, we can't even count how many people do things to really help produce and make this the best podcast in the universe.
	And it's even the guy, who's the guy, is it Pate?
	Who posts on LinkedIn.
	Every single show he posts on LinkedIn under the No Agenda account, which I guess he just registered No Agenda on LinkedIn.
	Yeah, that's what he did.
	And he posts it and it's great.
	You know, that's very helpful.
	There's people who follow it over there.
	Yeah.
	So we love stuff like this.
	You can also make clips.
	A lot of people, like Dave Ackerman, doesn't make clips, but he sends me 15 links, at least daily, of short little news clips on YouTube.
	And I use very few of them, really, but it keeps me up to speed with the international news.
	They're all short, and that's a huge help.
	These things really help.
	There's a guy who sends me C-SPAN stuff of callers.
	We're getting, you know, weird callers.
	I mean, you have these people, too, in your life, I'm sure.
	This is incredibly helpful, and that's what producers really do.
	And never, never hesitate to send things like, oh, they've probably already seen it.
	No, no, no, no.
	You don't know that.
	Usually, when you think that, we haven't seen it.
	So never hesitate.
	John at Dvorak.org, AdamMcCurry.com.
	Woo-hoo!
	And of course, we love to thank our artists who bring us artwork, many pieces to choose from.
	At the end of each live recording, we go to noagendaartgenerator.com, right after we've done the credits, and we select something from the vast uploads, which sometimes is 30 or 40 pieces.
	It's really quite amazing.
	Before we discuss, I'm going to say, well, continue, but before we discuss this piece, I want to go back an extra show to 1609.
	Okay.
	Where we had the gobbling AI monster, you've got the winner.
	Yes.
	Well, at the bottom of that collection, you'll find a piece by Capitalist Agenda called Rock 1609 Well, where there's the artist looking at a screen and drawing a turkey.
	Yes.
	And I think at the time I was under the impression that it may have been AI generated.
	Turns out it wasn't.
	No, because he posted the actual creation of that art on No Agenda Social and he drew the whole thing from scratch.
	And he showed how he did it in real time.
	Yeah.
	He had a screen capture.
	And how do you feel about this now that you accused him falsely?
	Well, I didn't accuse him.
	I don't know if I accused him falsely.
	No, you kind of did.
	You're going to get shivved in jail.
	I probably did.
	I mean, the piece we picked was good, but this is a capitalist agenda.
	I went back and looked at his art.
	I gave him, for the newsletter, I used one of his pieces.
	I'll probably use a few more because he's done a lot of stuff and he's doing everything from scratch, it looks like to me.
	And he's one of the really, and he's good.
	He's like really good.
	But it just didn't hit us the way we usually like to choose something for Thanksgiving.
	Yeah, sometimes.
	It's definitely not what we're looking for, but I'm just saying capitalist agenda as an artist is not just telling the AI to crank something out like in today's art.
	We see a bunch of it.
	It must have been very demoralizing for him to hear that.
	Well, or not.
	I mean, because to do that much work just quickly is pretty astonishing and it would, you know, I think it's borderline on a compliment to say it looks like it was created.
	The guy is clearly an illustrative genius.
	No, he is top notch.
	Mastermind, yes, mastermind.
	So I want to apologize to Capitalist Agenda.
	No, there you go.
	Well, we apologize to Capitalist Agenda, and we simultaneously thank Francisco Scaramanga, who brought us the artwork for episode 610.
	That was our Thanksgiving Day episode, titled P. Doom.
	Thank you, Sam Haltman.
	No, thank you, Twitch CEO Douche, Techno Douche.
	This was by far our favorite Thanksgiving creepy image.
	Yeah, it was, I'm guessing this was AI.
	It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
	But yes, it's creepy.
	It has a very, the subtlety of the creepiness, especially the little girl holding that, that huge knife.
	And then the kid with breast man on his, on his chest.
	Breast man on his chest.
	His apron.
	It was, it was hard to beat.
	And the turkey looks very, very disturbed.
	The turkey is alive and not happy.
	So that piece to me is a classic kind of image that we get a kick out of.
	It was good.
	It was good.
	There's a lot of other good pieces.
	There's no doubt.
	We could have picked any of maybe five to ten pieces.
	Some of the ones that are really super AI looking like pickle surprises up above that.
	Let's Eat Grandma.
	Or let's eat, Grandma.
	Or let's eat, Grandma.
	I mean, the Clippy stuff was good, but you should know that it's Thanksgiving.
	We're going to, you know, we're going to pick a turkey thing.
	We're going to pick a turkey image, a Thanksgiving image.
	Well, a lot of that is that a turkey comic strip blogger managed to get a turkey to hug Clippy.
	Yeah.
	I thought that was qualified.
	It was cute.
	Yeah, it was cute.
	But it wasn't like...
	No.
	The little girl and the little boy wins.
	Yeah.
	It was just the creepiest of all creepy.
	We didn't talk about it.
	I kind of like the roach giving.
	That was a good AI image.
	The family sitting around a roach.
	Where's that?
	It's on the left.
	Oh, that one.
	Oh my God, it's disgusting.
	See, I don't have to bring that up.
	How about the bugs giving?
	And by the way, y'all can stop with the Ukraine, Israel flags and all that stuff.
	We're not using them.
	We're not using them.
	Was there anything else?
	No.
	There was other good stuff, but no.
	I thought Capitalist Agenda's Turkey Parade was good.
	By the way, Tantanil, that's a very accurate prediction, a depiction of the spec cook that I...
	Yeah, well, she's Dutch.
	Right.
	That's the thousand layers.
	It turns out it's about 30 layers because I did take it to the Thanksgiving dinner and said that I slayed.
	Yeah, did anyone believe your bogus story?
	You know, the cake actually came back.
	It came back.
	Well, it wasn't eaten entirely.
	And the International Arms dealer's wife dropped off the rest of the cake yesterday.
	Yeah.
	Here's the rest of your cake.
	It didn't all get eaten.
	I'm sure you want to continue eating.
	It wasn't any good?
	It was good.
	No, it was good.
	But there was a lot of other desserts, too.
	Oh, you were competing in the dessert category.
	I didn't realize I was competing in the dessert category.
	And there was some very, very, very tasty stuff.
	But I think it was probably stovetop, the stuffing.
	I have a nose for these things.
	You know, pond office, homemade.
	Anyway, we thank Francisco Scaramanga very much for his artwork, and of course, all of the artists who clearly, they're all putting in work one way or the other.
	And we appreciate it.
	It's great.
	I mean, what a luxury to be able to choose from.
	I mean, how many do we have today?
	Looks like we got another 20 to select from today.
	That is a luxurious position to be in.
	Thank you.
	Makes a big difference to the show.
	It gets people hyped up, interested, reminds them to listen.
	It brings in new people.
	It's just overall a wonderful service you provide.
	Now we'd like to thank the people who brought the treasure to the show.
	Our executive and associate executive producers are up front.
	Anything above $300 is an executive producer.
	Anything from between $200 and $300 is associate executive producer.
	These are real credits.
	You can put them on your LinkedIn, put them in your CV, in your resume.
	You can also go to imdb.com.
	That's where all the pros who have these executive and associate executive producer credits, where they post them and put their little bios.
	You can open one with that.
	It's completely official.
	If you look for No Agenda on IMDb.com, you'll see hundreds and hundreds of producers who have done exactly the same thing.
	And a big thank you to Mark Rakhal, I think it is, Rakhal, R-A-K-H-A-L, from Monument, Colorado.
	With a long row of threes.
	$3,333.33 says, thank you for the continued value you guys provide.
	If I could get a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	And with that, he wants an I Got Ants jingle, which is, of course, not really a jingle, but we play the beginning of it.
	And house renting and jobs, Karma.
	I would like my title to be Sir Not Sure.
	For the round table, white Russians for me.
	Keep up all the great work.
	Well, thank you very much.
	You got it.
	And that will include a PhD, of course, that you came in on time.
	I got hands.
	I got hands.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You thought.
	Jobs and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Nice.
	Before I read this semi-sad note from Sir Donald the Fire Bottles, I want to mention an interesting situation that occurred, which is a donor who wanted a Ph.D. as a gift, I think for her son or somebody, but wants to give it to him on Christmas. but wants to give it to him on Christmas.
	Oh.
	As a surprise.
	So we're holding back the mention of the donation and putting it aside.
	Jay says she'll be able to do this, which is good.
	Which is classic no agenda risk.
	She is with us, but not necessarily with her.
	So she's gonna put it aside and it'll get mentioned on the Christmas show, but it will be a PhD that will go out, sent to her, that she can package up and give as a gift for Christmas.
	If anybody wants to do that, you have till Wednesday.
	Yes, that'll be the 333rd day of the year.
	The PhDs end.
	School is no longer in session.
	But I thought that was a cute idea.
	But we had to keep her off this list.
	And we're not going to do this for knighthoods and other things.
	This is a special, special, special, special.
	Right?
	Yes, please.
	We don't want to start doing this routinely.
	But for this Christmas we'll do it for the PhDs only.
	Yes.
	So now we have Sir Donald 13333 in Spokane and on United Federation of Planets Letterhead?
	Yes.
	I enclose the 1-333-333 for a switcheroo times two.
	First, a thousand dollars for my posthumous daming of my wife, Paula, who passed away in October.
	We didn't know this, and... No, we didn't.
	Wow, man.
	Please dame her, dame Paula, rescuer of second-hand kitties, in honor of the many times we took in the pet cats of friends who had passed away.
	Second, a donation of 333.33 in the name of Kristen Tedesco.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	At the family gathering after my wife's burial, I discovered that our niece, Kristen, is an avid listener to No Agenda!
	How about that?
	But has not yet donated to the show.
	I cannot allow this situation to continue!
	Sure, Sir Donald of the Fire Bottles.
	Thank you, Donald.
	Yes, and condolences.
	Condolences, for sure.
	Yes, of course.
	And I'll just say she's graduated, brother.
	She's graduated to heaven.
	Especially if she's a rescuer of second-hand kitties.
	Sir Mike is in Glen Osmond, South Australia.
	In Australia. 1013.
	ITM John and Adam, how could I pass up an opportunity to add a PhD in media deconstruction to my BS in oenology?
	Is that how you pronounce it?
	Oenology?
	What is oenology?
	I have no idea what oenology is.
	There's got to be something good.
	Oenology.
	Did you say anology?
	What is anology?
	Wine making.
	Whoa!
	You should be talking to him.
	Really?
	Probably working with one of the big boys in Australia.
	They got, Southern Australia's got tons of Cabernet manufacturing.
	Yes.
	It's all called Skippy.
	Um, not only that, but my 1013 donation is a show club donation.
	In Dollary Doos!
	Ah!
	It's 1611 in Australian Dollary Doos.
	Okay.
	Oh man, he's taking license with that.
	I'm not going to argue, I'm going to give it to him.
	Come on, he has a BS analogy.
	He's a wine guy.
	This donation makes me a baron, and as such, if it pleases the Peerage Committee... No, I think what he donated is 1611.
	Yes, he donated 1611, correct.
	Yeah, to get to a thousand.
	Yeah, we love that.
	Yeah, it's great.
	So that also counts for a show number donation.
	Oh yes, absolutely.
	Which is a separate credit.
	This donation makes me a Baron, and as such, if it pleases the Peerage Committee, I request a change from Sir Mike Black Knight, the surplus keeper of the Federal Reserve.
	How about that?
	Surplus, get it?
	I got it.
	Thanks for your continued efforts at amygdala diminution.
	Dim, dim, diminution.
	Help me, John.
	Diminution.
	Love and lit!
	Thank you for your courage.
	Sir Mike Black Knight, Baron to be.
	You got it.
	So now I have Dreb Scott who comes in with $1,033 with this donation.
	I'm hoping to get in on some of that sweet PhD action.
	I work at a company with many people who have PhDs after their name.
	I'm wondering if I get accused of stolen valor if I start putting PhD after my name in my email.
	You know, anyone can just do that.
	Yeah, that's not stolen valor, it's earned.
	Except in certain states.
	There are certain, you have to look at your state laws.
	No, I'd look that up.
	I'd look that up.
	You cannot do that if it's an educational institution.
	Which we're not.
	I'm sorry?
	In certain states, you can't do that, but it only counts if you're doing it from a bogus educational institution.
	We're not an educational institution.
	No, we're a bogus podcast.
	No, we're not bogus!
	Oh, no, we're real, sorry.
	Anyway.
	We're pros.
	Pros.
	So yeah, you have to look it up and see what you can do.
	Yeah, if you're not, yes, it varies from state to state.
	There are state laws that govern use of the PhD as doctor.
	You know, when you're in Brazil, I used to be famous in Brazil, and I'd give a lot of speeches down there, and they'd always introduce the keynote speaker as doctor.
	I always found that interesting.
	Thanks for all you guys do.
	Keep up the amazing deconstruction in the best podcast in the universe.
	Dreb Scott, Archduke of the Southern California Mega Region.
	No jingles, no karma.
	We'll accept that.
	And also thank you Dreb Scott.
	He is the guy who does all of the chapter work for every single No Agenda episode, which you can see in the chapters in any modern podcast app.
	Dreb Scott's the guy who bought my Frisbee.
	He's often known as the Bruce Wayne of Podcasting 2.0.
	He is a very, very mysterious character.
	And we love him as such.
	Sir Roly of Crystal Palace is in Washington, D.C.
	1,000.
	ITM John and Adam.
	Thought I'd take the opportunity to earn my PhD so I can finally fit in with all my wife's friends and colleagues.
	It's not easy hitting elitist in the mouth here in DC.
	Well, you nailed it.
	Keep up the good work.
	You're helping preserve my sanity.
	Just a goat karma for my anchor baby and smoking hot wife, please.
	You've got karma.
	Maurice from Parts Unknown.
	Hi, Adam and John.
	I've been a listener since episode one.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	Actually, since the Daily Source Code.
	There you go.
	Wow.
	And now my contributions have been Until now, my contributions have been timed by hitting people in the mouth, but I can't deny being Dutch.
	Oh, I know Maurice, of course.
	I know who he is.
	And so I can't refuse such an offer.
	Hey, Maurice!
	Maurice, yeah.
	Maurice.
	Maurice, you have kept me sane during difficult times in general and in my business.
	Seeing different perspectives and information from the, by the way, we have to ship this to Holland?
	Yes, you are shipping it to Holland.
	It's really, okay, well you got to track it because these overseas shipments of anything get lost.
	We've lost so many rings.
	Or stolen.
	I'm not only working 33 years in the media, but finally I can call myself a doctor in media deconstruction.
	Keep on working that system from within, but now with a PhD.
	For my knight name, I'd like to be known as Sir M. Knight of the Media Landscape, and if that's okay with the peerage committee, that is.
	Thank you guys for all that you do, and please give a karma to all who need it.
	You've got karma.
	And up next from Australia, JD the former spook with a thousand.
	Oh man, Tina's cooking something good.
	I will try to keep it short.
	You didn't.
	First time donor, long time boner.
	To say the least.
	First time donor, long time boner.
	Like a common parasite I've been suckling and freeloading from the host since the early hundreds, most likely the 200s.
	The two of you have been with me for a very long time and heavily influenced my way of thinking.
	I wanted to chip in And make amends for my protracted period of douchebaggery, and also take advantage of the PhD program.
	Please accept my humble offering of $1,000 USD, which equals $1,500 AUD.
	Could you kindly recognize the dollar for dollar, $1,500, so I'll be considered as a halfway along my journey from knighthood towards baronethood.
	Well, yeah, I guess we do.
	No problem.
	I guess we do.
	Oh, check this out.
	I'm an ex-law enforcement officer and four-letter agency operative of 15 years, the Australian equivalent of your American three-letter agencies.
	Ooh.
	And I did not accept the... Spook.
	Spook.
	I did not accept the vaccine into my life and subsequently found myself looking for alternate employment.
	Really?
	They kick spooks out?
	That's terrible.
	That's dumb.
	You got information, man.
	Even armed with documented medical and religious exemptions and with competent legal representation, I was unable to swim against the raging current, which was the madness of the COVID mandates.
	With God preparing a path for me, I was able to secure work and now find myself in a corporate role, which I consider to be just as satisfying at times.
	If either of you finally make the trip to Australia, come to Queensland, and we will gladly host, entertain, and guide you around.
	At the very least, we will throw an NA party to remember.
	That goes for any other traveling No Agenda producer.
	Side note, is there a No Agenda message board for weary NA travelers who need connection as they travel?
	Uh, yes, noagendasocial.com.
	Or, you can always organize meetups.
	Please knight me, Sir Viving the Communist Takeover.
	Great note, J.D., the former spook.
	Thank you.
	Yeah, it was good.
	Jamie Richard... Renard.
	Jamie Renard is up next.
	He came in with $1,000.
	Switcheroo donation from my husband, David.
	Jamie is the wife.
	If anyone I know deserves a PhD in media deconstruction, it's him.
	Please de-douche him.
	You've been de-douched.
	Ignite him, sir-cum-stance.
	Protector of the sharp-clawed creatures.
	Thank you, Jamie.
	There's our wife.
	There you go.
	Robert Shepard with 1,000.
	Love the show.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thank you for all you do.
	Love and light.
	Right back at you, Robert.
	Thank you.
	Donald Barthelow.
	Barthelow.
	1,000.
	Traditional spelling of privileges, please.
	Donald Barthelot on the certificate.
	You have to go to noagenderrings.com and fill out the form because we need the address and all the rest of it.
	Where to ship it and then what name you want.
	No Jingles, No Karma over 1,200 hours in show slash class, which is the media deconstruction class that we give.
	Yes.
	Every Thursday and Sunday.
	And still loving it.
	Thank you, sir.
	Jim Turner, with a grand.
	ITM, gentlemen, I have had a few people through the years suggest I should go back to school for a PhD.
	I've always laughed!
	But after nearly 400 episodes of the best podcast in the universe, I think I'm ready with my preferred field of study, media deconstruction.
	This donation actually gets me to baronet status.
	I achieve knight status from my episode 1499 executive producer donation, but I erroneously sent my donation note and hence wasn't called forward to the round table.
	Regardless, I request to be knighted Sir James of the Derby City, who would like eagle rare bourbon and well done tater tots.
	At the round table, tater tots with eagle rare bourbon.
	Hmm.
	Okay, weird combo, but there you go.
	He obviously watches The Voice.
	I'm about to separate from the military.
	I will forgo any jingles and simply request jobs karma.
	You get that?
	Also, I have taken John's semi-weekly advice and reached out to Linda Lou Patkin.
	We had a very pleasant conversation and determined we were both Ronimos following Adam's first Joe Rogan Experience appearance.
	I was very impressed with her presentation, the personal attention, and the product line she offers.
	At this point, I'm just questioning whether I'm actually executive material.
	I'm dubious.
	Nevertheless, I was very impressed by what she had to offer at ImageMakersInc.com.
	That's Inc with a K for all your executive resume needs!
	I don't know if it's a shill.
	I'll take that kind of shillin' any old day.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Andy Walmer's next, and he's in Burke-Burnett, Texas, and he comes in with $1,000.
	He's our last PhD.
	I'm ashamed to have only taken value from me and the other producers, from you and the other producers to this point.
	Your work and this community are truly blessings, not a joke!
	Andy Walmer in Burke-Burnett, Texas.
	Then we have Baronet Nico of the Hills, part some known switcheroo for Sir Eagle Eye.
	Happy birthday, brother!
	I appreciate you and congratulations on another trip around the sun.
	I'm still king of the tire!
	Baronet Nico of the Hills.
	Sir Delia in Beaverton, Oregon, 333.
	It's been too long for Sir Deliat.
	A de-douching please.
	You've been de-douched.
	He needs an F-cancer for his brother and a karma boost for the family would be appreciated.
	Nice job on the Altman-Elon-Fidman imitations.
	You're a hoot.
	Thank you and John for all the hard work which helps us stay sane, Sir DeLiot.
	You've got karma.
	And a karma boost.
	We'll add a goat to that for you.
	You've got karma.
	And we've got Eddie with 333 in Mableton, Georgia.
	Hi JCD and Adam C. Love the show.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Here's a long overdue show notation from Eddie at EJ3 gutters serving North Georgia's gutter needs.
	This is a switcheroo for my beautiful wife, Delicia Lafleur.
	Now there's a name for you.
	There's a name.
	Delicia Lafleur, everybody.
	Say hello to Mademoiselle Delicia Lafleur.
	And here she is!
	Seriously, John?
	Delicia Lafleur, who's having a birthday Monday, 11-27, day 331, almost 333, like my donation.
	Please credit her as executive producer for this awesome show, 1611.
	Consider it done, sir.
	Absolutely.
	We dropped down the associate executive producers with Kyle Tuhig in Spokane, Washington.
	This was a nice note.
	This was a nice note.
	ITM, this donation is in honor of episode 1609, approximately 42 minutes in, when the clip of you and your banter resulted in no less than eight repetitions of the phrase, pulling the goalie.
	While comical to hear you both come to understand the phrase related to removing contraception, it was one of a cluster of signs from God for us to do so.
	My amazing lady and I are both divorced.
	She has had an awesome kid.
	Kids and I had none a few years back.
	We met serendipitously at our favorite mountain and quickly fell in love.
	She's in Washington.
	Yep, mountain.
	Just mountains there.
	And quickly fell in love, yet gave up on the prospect of her own child due to our ages.
	This past week has brought us a series of unmistakable signs!
	To give hope and encouragement to the prospect of our own child and no agenda talking about pulling the goalie was one of the signs as we both heard the segment separately while contemplating such a huge decisions.
	Couples that know agenda together stay together, he writes.
	Well, the goal is now pulled, and we could use some prayer and baby-making karma.
	Kyle, a.k.a.
	the Spook of Spokane, jingles whole load, little girl, yay.
	So, you know the rule, right?
	That when, you know, when you have your child, you realize that you're gonna have to name it.
	John and Adam.
	John and Adam.
	John Adam.
	Even if it's a girl.
	Okay?
	Them's the rules.
	But John is a good name.
	Just so you know.
	Woo!
	You got some baby-making karma.
	I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
	Yeah, I'll pray for you.
	I'll pray for that.
	You've got karma.
	That's great.
	John, the things you and I do, man, we are really changing people's lives.
	David Harper is in Brookfield, Missouri.
	And comes in with 209.09.
	Says, please...
	You've been de-douched.
	And it goes on to say, I love Jesus, Bitcoin, and making my own music.
	It's the trifecta.
	I am at cryptaholic, with a K, cryptaholic on TwitterX.
	I have only three song links there and hope you like them.
	The Kill, Deep End, Robot.
	Your show means a lot to me.
	I appreciate your guys' dedication.
	BTC peace.
	And I would say get those on Value for Value.
	You can do that at, get your songs up on Value for Value.
	Go to rssblue.com.
	They can help you out.
	Uh, R Van Eipenburg.
	Eipenberg.
	Eipenberg.
	Oh, it's uh, oh he's in the Netherlands.
	Dutch, yeah.
	Eipenberg.
	R Van Eipenberg.
	Yeah.
	In de Beethoven.
	Beethoven.
	Oh, I thought it was beet.
	No, built.
	Beethoven.
	Beethoven, yes.
	Two hundred dollars and four cents, no notes, no nothing, give him a double up karma.
	Got a double up karma as requested.
	Dutch style.
	Dutch style.
	Karma.
	And associate executive producer with $200.
	We're almost done.
	Talia Dupree from McKinney, Texas.
	Not that far away.
	Short note, it is.
	Thanks for all you do.
	Please add me to the birthday list.
	You're on it.
	I'll turn 40 on the 28th.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Talia Dupree Douglas in McKinney, Texas.
	And finally we come to Linda Lou Patkin who's keeping up to pace from Lakewood, Colorado.
	Jobs Karma, for a remarkable resume that gets results, go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs.
	She writes, that's ImageMakersInc with a K dot com, or just find Linda Lou Patkin under the show's producer list.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Well, that wraps up our executive and associate executive producers.
	Another great showing.
	Thank you for bringing the treasure today.
	We know that it'll drop down significantly after the Christmas holidays, so we will be saving that up.
	Of course, we appreciate any donation amount that anyone is willing to part with to support our work.
	We don't play any commercials, don't take any creepy corporate money.
	It's just whatever value you get out of the show, We appreciate it if you return it to us.
	And I will just say, in addition, that we read all of the donations above $50.
	Anything below that is not read for reasons of anonymity.
	And of course, we always have our sustaining donations, which we appreciate.
	You can make those up yourself.
	You can find them all at borag.org.
	And John will take us down through the 50s.
	I love what I do.
	Short list.
	We start off with William Bullock in Buckeye, Arizona.
	$100.
	Frank, by the way, it's a pretty short list.
	Frank Tarassi in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where the Ontario Airport is.
	$100.
	He needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.

	16 years and counting.
	1611 episodes.
	It is value for value.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org or at noagendadonation.com.
	Thank you for supporting us for episode 1611.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water.
	Water.
	Shut up, plane.
	Shut up, Steve!
	It's your birthday party!
	We do have a couple of birthdays we're celebrating.
	Eddie wishes his beautiful wife, Delicia Lafleur, a happy birthday.
	She will be celebrating tomorrow on the 27th.
	Talia Dupree turns 40 on the 28th.
	And Baronette Nico of the Hills, which is her eagle eye, a very happy birthday.
	And we join in and say happy birthday for everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	We're looking at two title changes today.
	As you heard earlier, Sir Dr. Otter of the Flatwater becomes Sir Dr. Otter, Baronet of the Flatwater.
	And Sir Mike Black Knight becomes Baron Sir Plus, Keeper of the Federal Reserve.
	And we believe he's in Australia doing that.
	Now it is time for our PhD graduates.
	This will be, uh, uh, let's see, one more time after this for the Thursday show, as this ends on the 333rd day of the week.
	That is this Wednesday.
	We'd like to welcome Martin Rakal of the year, yes.
	Sir Donald, Sir Mike, Trev Scott, Sir Roley of the Crystal Palace, Maurice J.D., the former spook, David, Robert Shepard, Donald Barthelot, Jim Turner, and Andy Walmer.
	Welcome, new, no-agenda, MD, PhD, to the Society of Learned Persons.
	The path to this high academic honor for some of you has been a long one and a costly one.
	Some of the price has been paid to your hard-earned wisdom and some in other ways.
	But today is not an end.
	It's only the beginning.
	From this point forward, go forth and spread the no agenda word far and wide.
	We will not be silenced.
	We will not be deterred.
	The truth is... Go and find it!
	Go and find it!
	Oh, man.
	I need some tepid water.
	Yes, tepid water.
	That was my mistake, I didn't have any tepid water.
	I don't have tepid water, but I do have one dame and a couple of knights, actually, so bring out the... Well, I have one blade, here you go.
	That works for the dame, sure.
	And the knights, there you go.
	Paula, hop on up here!
	Mark, Raquel, Maurice, JD, the former spook, David, Jim Turner, and Jason, all of you!
	Thanks to your donations, the Noah Jenner Show are about to become a Knights and a Dame, and I'm very proud to pronounce Kate the S, Dame Paula, rescuer of secondhand kitties.

	We've got Sparkling Cider and Escorts, Ginger Ale and Gerbils.
	And of course, mutton and meat, it's always here on tap for you.
	While you're enjoying that, I guess, you don't have to use silverware.
	It's fine.
	You can use your hands, especially for mutton, it's not a problem.
	But be careful, don't get your keyboard dirty.
	Go over to noagendarings.com.
	There you can find a place to, well, instructions on how to size your ring and then where to send, to give us your address so we can send it there.
	That goes also for our PhDs, you'll see in the menu.
	No Agenda PhDs give us the name and we recommend you use your real name for your PhD and where we can send that.
	And with the rings, of course, you get your wax to seal your important correspondence with.
	They are signet rings and a certificate of authenticity.
	And thank you all for supporting the No Agenda Show.
	No Agenda Meetup!
	This is really the connection that people enjoy most in their lives is going to a No Agenda Meetup.
	The people that No Agenda together stay together.
	You may meet a future mate.
	Through the show.
	Someone you never knew that was listening to this.
	I didn't realize.
	It's really incredible.
	It's happened a few times.
	It certainly happened a few times.
	And I think this happened more times than we even know.
	People haven't mentioned it to us.
	So next time you're sending in a note, let us know if that happened.
	Before we list the upcoming meetups, here's a couple of reports from Los Angeles.
	The Flight of the No Agenda, number 46.
	Leo Bravo!
	Hey everybody, it's Leo Bravo.
	I have flight at the No Agenda meetup number 46, I think.
	I'm passing the phone around.
	Folks have things to say.
	In the morning, this is Angie from the Red.
	In the morning, this is Dan, still a douchebag.
	Hey, what are you drinking?
	It's refreshing, it's good, it's breast milk in a can.
	In the morning!
	Okay, alright, we got comedians.
	Let's see how Fort Wayne did for their meetup report.
	Adam and John, this is Shoshanna, co-host in Fort Wayne.
	We invited the Indy group up and we put the boom in bingo.
	Boom shakalaka.
	Shelly from Fort Wayne, in the morning.
	Thank you.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this is Alicia from Indy with the Fort Wayne group.
	This is Jared from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
	Just got my M&M's with peanuts.
	Hey, this is Dame Trinity having a great time.
	Lots of target practice and food.
	Thank you for your courage.
	In the morning, PBR Street Gang.
	John, what are you drinking?
	Hello, this is Dame Maria.
	And this is Sir Mark, up at the Fort Wayne meetup, and we had a great time shooting and eating and deconstructing everything we could find.
	This is Mike with the Fort Wayne Group of No Agenda and the Indie Group has made peace with us and come and eat dinner and had a great time tonight.
	I've checked all their browser history and I can officially say there are no spooks here.
	I love that.
	You know, people who are... If you ever wonder what it's like to shoot a gun, find one of these meetups where they go shoot stuff.
	It's a great way, because you know, it's always intimidating.
	You go to a range, like, I don't know what I'm doing.
	I'll tell you, I have a little note for this sort of thing.
	Generally speaking, if you find someone that has a lot of guns that they've collected, and you go shooting with them, they like nothing more than you shooting their guns.
	Their guns, and their ammo.
	And their ammo, so you can share the experience of, oh, what'd you think of the way that PPK shot?
	Move to the left.
	The best is to do it with Baron Scott's reloads.
	That's the best.
	Click.
	His reloads, sometimes they don't go.
	Well, I like to go shooting black powder with someone.
	We had one of those at one of the No Agenda shoot meetups, and I think they got kicked off the range.
	No black powder allowed!
	That's too bad.
	No, we didn't go back to that range.
	Don't worry.
	We don't.
	That's not how we roll, man.
	Hey, there's a meet-up coming up on the 30th this Thursday.
	It's the Mile High meet-up.
	6.30 at Lincoln's Roadhouse in Denver, Colorado.
	And also on Thursday in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
	It's the one week after another parliament election in the Netherlands.
	8 o'clock in Beer Café Kadinsky in Tilburg.
	I've been there.
	For some reason.
	In Tilburg, the Netherlands.
	That should be a lot of fun.
	And I expect a good report.
	And do the report before you're all stoned, will you?
	Just tighten it up a little bit.

	It is just like a party.
	Like a party, I said.
	Like a party, like a party, like a party.
	I only have one ISO.
	where you won't be Triggered or held the same You want to be where everybody knows feels your shame Everybody feels your shame?
	It's like a party It is just like a party Like a party, I said Like a party, like a party, like a party I only have one ISO Play it Oh my God That's cute.
	Oh, you say that like you got something better.
	Well, I got a few.
	I'm following the theme of the kids.
	Let's try shows over.
	Okay.
	A show's over!
	Not bad.
	I like it.
	Not bad.
	Yeah, not bad.
	Okay, let's try podcast structure.
	This podcast has no structure.
	I like Shows Over better than that, but okay.
	I think I like the kid.
	and go to great achievement.
	That is a great achievement.
	I think I like the kid.
	The show is over.
	That's just so cute.
	Okay, I'm good with the kid.
	And now it's time for...
	Good News with JCD.
	Time for some good news, John.
	We never want to leave our agenda.
	These things are hard to find.
	In fact, it's so hard to find that this is a story I got from Wichita, Kansas, but it's not about Kansas.
	It's about something in North Carolina.
	But it's a good news story.
	But by the way, it's an ABC affiliate in Wichita, and it's about a Disney giveaway.
	Movie screening in Brier Creek turned into so much more for one local family.
	Disney, our parent company here at ABC 11, partnered with Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina, and together, they invited kids to a sneak peek at the not-yet-released movie, Wish.
	And it seems everyone inside that theater learned a little wish can go a long way.
	Jameis Price was there when that wish was granted, and talked to a grateful mom about what this will mean for her son.
	Hi, Jameis.
	Hi Lauren, this wish represents a new chapter for the family.
	It's a fresh start where their child is healthy and whole and can really be a kid again.
	All of this unfolding on the big screen in true fairytale fashion.
	The stage is set.
	This is such a special night.
	For a magical moment.
	So we see children filled with joy.
	Disney and Make-A-Wish celebrating its decade-long partnership with a special screening of Disney's new animated musical.
	Wish.
	The VIPs invited inside this Briar Creek Theater.
	Families with ties to the wish-granting non-profit.
	Tonight, they got an early peek inside a fairy tale on the big screen before one plays out in real life.
	Five-year-old Everett Carpenter from Durham is the lucky recipient.
	You are gonna get on a train and spend the night on the train while it drives you down to Florida and you're gonna go to Disney World.
	Wish granted.
	It's overwhelming and really really happy and crying.
	Just to get to this point.
	Little Everett was diagnosed with leukemia in December 2020.
	Fighting in a big way.
	We're celebrating his strength and his courage and his endurance through everything that he's been through.
	His last treatment was in February of this year.
	I have been waiting for this point just because I think it's a good way to close a chapter on like a very horrible part of our life, but it's also ending very well.
	The foundation working every day to grant the wishes of children with a life-threatening illness.
	A wish is really a break.
	It is a moment in time for the family to just be together.
	It gives them an opportunity to kind of forget some of the struggles that they've been dealing with.
	It inspires children to dream and to think big.
	And before Everett heads south to the happiest place on earth.
	And learning a lesson on the silver screen that no wish is ever too big to dream.
	A good news story from JCD.
	Happy vibes for you and me.
	And we all feel better now he's done his bit.
	So back to reality, that's turning to shit.
	I don't know, man.
	That sounded more like a native ad than anything.
	Yeah, I was not happy with that presentation.
	No, no one was happy with that presentation.
	Oh well, it's alright.
	It's hard.
	Finding good news is hard.
	It's hard, it turns out to be, yes.
	Well, good news is Behind the Schemes is coming up next on noagendastream.com if you stay tuned into your app or if you're listening at noagendastream.com or if you're in thetrollroom.io.
	End of show mixes, we have Professor JJ checking in from China.
	We've got the Rolando Gonzalez from Dallas and Tom Starkweather who's in the Spooksville area of Virginia.
	Virginia, Virginia, Virginia.
	And we return on Thursday with another several hours of media deconstruction.
	We love doing.
	We love our jobs.
	We're thankful for you supporting us.
	Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country in FEMA Region No.
	6, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain.
	And remind you that this is the last week for the Ph.D.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Thursday.
	Until then, please remember us by supporting us at Dvorak.org slash NA or noagendadonations.com.
	Until Thursday, adios, pofos, hui hui, and such!
	The CDC estimates there have already been 1.6 million flu cases.
	RSV infections are also on the ride, impacting kids under the age of 4.
	And COVID-19 is still a concern for a lot of families, but only about 15% of adults have received that updated shot.
	This is the CDC's new director, Dr. Mandy Cohen.
	The three reasons to get vaccinated.
	One, the virus has changed.
	And third, people are still getting long hope.
	Always wore a mask, never thought to ask.
	Thinking in the night, what's so wrong?
	You couldn't get no HCQ.
	1.6 million flu cases.
	Is this just another flu?
	RSV infections are also on the rise.
	Give it one more try.
	Booster in me.
	Kids can't be alive.
	No escape from RSV-O-Mandy.
	Not many people have gotten the flu shot or the COVID shot.
	How concerned are you?
	Just tell, just repeat what you're saying This farmer needs you today, oh man be Not many people have gotten the flu shot or the COVID shot.
	How concerned are you if 15% of adults have received that updated shot?
	Public trust has gone away Give me four more tests today And third, people are still getting longer Gathering the skies, numbers climbing Oh Biden needs a surge So who is reminding us, Mandy?
	No warning to give or just pay again No mommy's here what you claim, oh Mandy You and Judy's got us all shakin' Mama I'm directing the Director of the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to develop media literacy tools for K-12 in our public schools.
	Ultimately what it is, is it's about machine learning.
	This will teach students And even teachers to help understand how to spot conspiracy theories and misinformation, disinformation, and online hate.
	And so the machine is taught.
	Start talking about what we're seeing out there.
	And part of the issue here is what information is going into the machine.
	What then will be produced in terms of decisions and opinions that may be made through that process?
	Give the teachers the tools they need to help these conversations in school.
	Do we understand the technology?
	Do we know what is going into these things?
	And by teaching younger New Yorkers about how to discern between digital fact and digital fiction, we can better inoculate them from hatred and the spread of it.
	And help prepare them for a very fast-moving and confusing world.
	What is in the best interest of the health and safety and well-being of the people of our country?
	Who was telling the truth?
	Yes.
	What was the reality?
	Chris grasped the country.
	The lasagna of lousy.
	You know what you did.
	He liked beer.
	And kind of a wind-up to the F-word.
	Kind of a... Every story has three sides.
	No.
	Every city in America has a Trump Hotel.
	And both parties are in danger of winning.
	In danger of winning.
	But it can be worse.
	You can actually kill somebody's cat and puncture their tires to get them to shut up.
	I had one beer!
	Technology is the big question, whether or not it is making people happy.
	Lies, smears, besmirchment, the character assassination, and frankly the bludgeoning of versionary, lame, the other person tactics when he himself.
	Who was telling the truth?
	Yes.
	What was the reality?
	Ooh, look what they found!
	I had one beer!
	Because we've got facts and then we've got feelings.
	Nope!
	There was one beer.
	One beer.
	Alright, and boofing is not flatulence.
	You know what you did.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
	Dvorak.org slash n-a.
