	It's China, cuz China, China, China.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, December 14th, 2023.
	This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1616.
	This is No Agenda.
	Monitoring the info mavericks and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texasville country here in FEMA region number six.
	6.
	In the morning everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley where I've come to the conclusion that Drew Barrymore is an annoying phony.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Of all the people I would think you'd talk about, Drew Barrymore would be close to the bottom of the list.
	What happened?
	How did you even come... I mean, her show is on during the day.
	It's also on... locally, it's on during the day, but it's also on at 11.30 at night.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, the show's late night for some reason.
	I mean, does anyone watch regular broadcast TV anymore?
	I do.
	Where do you think I get these clips?
	I mean... I mean normal people.
	I mean, do normal people still watch?
	Isn't everyone like just Netflixing?
	Streaming?
	They have numbers.
	There's numbers.
	There's numbers?
	Yeah, they got numbers.
	But it's not like old numbers.
	Not like numbers.
	No, old numbers.
	Those were numbers.
	No, numbers.
	That's when we were working in television.
	A hundred million people would watch one show.
	We got limo service.
	And our money in a brown paper bag.
	And we're those days, John.
	Those days are over.
	And that was cable.
	Those days are long gone, long gone.
	Oh man, there's so much going on.
	There's a lot of fun things to talk about.
	There is!
	Really?
	Yes, I'm excited.
	Yes, yes.
	Like what?
	Well, there's the obvious marketing that happens every, it happens once a year.
	Once a year we gotta go and we've gotta go promote the military-industrial complex.
	Once a year what?
	No, for the NDAA.
	No, for the NDAA, you know, this is the $886 billion.
	Oh, the lockdown, the American public, yeah.
	880.
	$886 billion dollars.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So, of course, you're not going to hear what's really in the bill.
	I have started to read it.
	It's another doozy.
	Matt Gaetz, though, I'll give it to him.
	At least he stood up and he said, no, no, no, there's a lot of good in here.
	But there's a lot of- there's some things we have to take out!
	I regret that I rise in opposition to this NDAA because there is a great deal of good in it, but only in Washington must we bring a bill to the floor so that we are able to militarily confront China while at the same time embracing the policies that make the United States more like China.
	Oh!
	There is no desire on the part of our great Armed Services Chairman and even the Democrats we worked with to have an extension of spying authorities put in this bill when we have already seen those authorities just totally abused.
	278,000 violations of the existing law as the FBI has queried information regarding Americans.
	When the Obama-appointed Inspector General was reviewing whether or not the administration was complying with existing law, they found out we were breaking the law 38 times an hour to extend the authorities for spying.
	They were being violated so that people at the FBI could do queries on their neighbors, their co-workers, their ex-lovers.
	That does not belong in the National Defense Authorization Act.
	Oh, Mr. Gates, you're on the naughty list.
	No, no, no, no.
	Just stop for a second and ask yourself if you have access to these systems.
	And you knew there was no repercussions for abusing them, but in other words, going and looking up your neighbors, or looking up your ex-girlfriend.
	Hell yeah!
	Of course!
	If there's no consequences, and it appears there's none whatsoever, Yeah, that's what you're going to do.
	You're going to look up your pals and everybody in between.
	Sure.
	So the way this works, and we've done this for a number of years, whenever... So Matt Gaetz is on the wrong side of history here, obviously.
	I mean, shut up, Matt Gaetz.
	I had to get that off C-SPAN.
	You didn't see that one anywhere.
	Of course, we've been tracking the Section 702 FISA renewal, which is just barely talked about now.
	Yeah, it shouldn't be renewed, but it will be.
	We will be.
	And what we need to do, the way we run it in America, is we have to ratchet up the fear.
	Now, he had the right start.
	He said, you know, well, of course we want to be against China, because China, China, China.
	You know, all you need to do is you need to have, oh, have the alien guy go on Tucker Carlson because, oh, we need more space stuff for the military.
	It's all in there.
	Growing tensions between the U.S.
	and China now extending to hundreds of miles above the Earth.
	We know when we're threatened.
	We need to be able to counter the threat.
	To get an inside look at some of the latest American technology to counter the Chinese threat, we went to United Launch Alliance's factory in Alabama.
	Working on defenses against things like Chinese satellites that can use robotic arms to drag other satellites out of orbit.
	We know that too!
	Meaning China could disable critical American communications satellites.
	Oh no!
	We were actually able to grapple, grab a hold of one of their defunct GPS or Badao satellites.
	What is the concern about them having that kind of capability in space?
	Anything that can interact with a spacecraft for servicing is inherently capable of interacting with a spacecraft to harm it or to gather intelligence from it.
	And fears tonight that China is moving faster than the U.S.
	in this new space race.
	Including not just in space, but the skies just above us.
	Not only using satellites, but spy balloons and hypersonic missiles.
	And multiple U.S.
	military officials tell us perhaps most concerning... Multiple officials?
	China launched a hypersonic missile capable of orbiting the globe over and over, then suddenly dropping to Earth before most missile defense systems can respond.
	Wait a minute.
	I thought Russia had that?
	We continue to look at that very closely.
	Wait a second.
	Yeah?
	Let's go back.
	We have to look at a lot of this stuff logically.
	Yes.
	So it's going to go into orbit and orbit over and over.
	Yeah, it's nuclear of course.
	It just goes forever.
	It has a big solar panel on it.
	So it goes around and around and then it drops down.
	We can't see it.
	We don't know that it's going around.
	No, not without $886 billion of Boeing bucks.
	Oh, we need more money.
	We need Boeing bucks.
	Most concerning, China launched a hypersonic missile capable of orbiting the globe over and over, then suddenly dropping to Earth before most missile defense systems can respond.
	Most.
	We continue to look at that very closely, but that's a capability they just recently demonstrated.
	Just recently demonstrated.
	A possible defense, lasers.
	Lasers?
	You can't outmaneuver the speed of light laser.
	No, lasers!
	Oh, no.
	I'm going to play one more.
	Wow, this has got to cost a big dough.
	I'm going to play one more here, because we have to remember, we all got to be fearful, fearful of China.
	I'm staying on the topic of China.
	A scary new report from the Washington Post.
	Scary?
	Scary new report from the WAPO.
	How China's military is likely behind a number of hackers who've gained computer access to the systems of about two dozen key American infrastructure facilities around the nation.
	Some of the apparently hacked sites include a water utility in Hawaii, a port on the West Coast, and an oil and gas pipeline.
	Oh no.
	Report notes the hackers also tried to gain access to the Texas power grid.
	Now thankfully none of the hacks caused any disruptions but the very act is raising an alarm that China could use hackers to bring down key services in America from power plants to pipelines to maybe the safety of your water.
	We're all gonna die!
	Joining us now is former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Chris Krebs.
	Tell us, Krebs.
	Chris, welcome back.
	Welcome back, hello.
	Am I overstating this?
	No!
	When I read the story, it seemed pretty scary.
	Scary!
	This guy, what kind of pussy are you?
	It's pretty scary.
	It seemed pretty scary.
	Scary.
	Brian, you're not alone.
	As I talk to national security officials, they're extremely concerned about the access that Chinese cyber actors were able to get, and not just in strategic targets.
	But more broadly, in seemingly random or ad hoc infrastructures across the country, and they've come to the simple conclusion that this is not just about disruption and destruction for military purposes, but for also just broader societal panic and chaos in the event of an escalation of hostilities.
	Isn't that what these guys are doing?
	No, this is what sold it for me.
	Isn't this panic and crying to create?
	No, no.
	These guys work for the Chinese.
	No, no.
	This is where we bring in, now we couldn't say Chinese because Hollywood's not allowed to do that anymore.
	We had to say Korea.
	It was unclear if it was North Korea or South Korea.
	Just Korea and Iran.
	Right on time, right on target.
	Enter the Obamas!
	There's something wrong with the TV.
	It's all messed up.
	I wonder what that means.
	What could it mean?
	It could be over in a couple of hours.
	You know something?
	I'm sure this will turn out to be a big nothing.
	We'll look back on this one day and laugh, I guarantee you.
	I think that ship is heading towards us.
	What?
	What does that mean?
	We shouldn't speculate.
	Haven't you been picking up on what's going on out there?
	I don't think this is nothing.
	We're in this together.
	Don't things get back to normal?
	There is no going back to normal.
	Get in the car!
	Whoever's pulling the strings wants us to finish it.
	We're gonna be okay, right?
	Yeah.
	And that's my take on the entire reason for connecting the Obama's name to leaving the world behind.
	And otherwise, okay movie, mediocre at best.
	What made it creepy was that, oh, the Obamas produced it.
	And the whole point, because they literally talk about chaos and fear, that is, that's part of the strategy at the end of the movie.
	Spoiler alert, sorry.
	This is all to get people focused on, oh yes, we need more military.
	It's okay, we need that $900 billion to go to Raytheon and Boeing and what are there, like four companies now?
	Lockheed.
	Lockheed.
	That's what this is all about.
	Obama, this movie was already purchased by the time they were added onto the bill.
	They didn't produce anything.
	Okay, so a little bit of racism stuff in there, whatever.
	No, I have the whole rundown here.
	They were brought in after the movie was cast, after it was written, it was good to go.
	They're only attached because they have a 65 million dollar deal and they have to put their name on something and this legitimizes The whole fear and chaos.
	Did you see the movie, by any chance?
	Did you see the whole thing?
	Did you read the newsletter?
	Well, you know, from the newsletter didn't seem to me like you had read the whole thing because you put EMPs in there which were explicitly not a part of this movie.
	So did you watch it?
	I watched probably a quarter of it.
	It's very hard to watch.
	I watched the whole thing.
	It's slow-mo- Well, you must have been bored stiff.
	No, but I researched for the show!
	It's slow-moving...
	It's slow moving.
	The only thing I thought was funny was the Tesla scene.
	I think that was kind of funny, but... Could it be any more coincidental?
	We get the Tesla scene, and today... Let's start with the bad news.
	This recall affects almost all Tesla vehicles sold in the United States.
	This comes after a two-year investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
	They found that the company's autopilot mode can provide inadequate driver engagement that can lead to misuse of the system.
	The investigation also found that using autopilot mode incorrectly or failing to recognize that it is on can lead to a higher risk of accident.
	Now, okay, we don't have to hear the whole report, but the coincidence of this happening right now...
	That was probably the highlight of the movie.
	I thought that was hilarious.
	Well, but it was a plot hole because I... Just one of many.
	One of many.
	Because I immediately asked the questions, where are these Teslas coming from?
	And why are they all on the same road and they're smashing into each other?
	I mean, who set them on this path?
	That's a question that was never answered or asked, actually.
	It's a cyber hack.
	It was a cyber hack.
	And if you watch the movie, what you saw was a close-up that showed the tags on all these cars.
	They had been driven right off.
	They had auto-driven right off the lot.
	Yes, I saw that, where she looks at the tag and that's when she realizes the Teslas are coming.
	Yes.
	So I saw that and she yells at her husband to get out of the way because it's gonna ram it into their SUV that's sitting there and so then they dodge a bunch of Tesla's coming down the road but that doesn't tell me that it was anyone who's, I mean the Tesla factories are not in where they are which is in the East Coast and it couldn't, there's no dealership with thousands of Tesla's that I know of that are all white.
	I think we can both agree That it's full of holes, airplanes don't come crashing out of the sky, because of, because of, and the airplanes are crashing out of the sky, but the drone dropping leaflets has no problem.
	You know, so what was it?
	What, you hacked the system on the plane?
	Every single one?
	I mean, all of it was ridiculous.
	They have power for days!
	Yeah, they have power.
	They have power for days now.
	This whole, the whole thing was full of technical holes.
	I will say the end...
	Um, you know, so the little girl finds a safe room in the neighbor's, uh, like a bunker in the neighbor's house and they pop on a ham radio kit and it's actually pretty accurate.
	Tuned to a frequency that is RTTY.
	Um, it has, you know, RTTY coming in and that someone who was a ham operator did that part.
	I was, that was like, okay, that was good.
	It could have been in the book.
	It might've been.
	Everything else was just, Yeah, maybe.
	Okay.
	You know, there's a little bit of racial stuff in there which gets highlighted.
	But the main thing is they didn't call out China because they can't.
	Because Netflix can't.
	Hollywood can't call out China in their movies.
	So they called it Korea.
	You can if you don't want to get any distribution whatsoever.
	Yes, if you don't want to go anywhere.
	But I thought the timing of the release with all these other stories, literally with the plot of the movie, or the The payoff is, oh, this is the big strategy of our adversaries, is first you cut off communications, then you confuse us, then you've got chaos and fear, and then we all turn on each other.
	Except at the end, of course, the white Karen mom holds hands with the black teenage girl, and then it's all great.
	We're all going to survive, I guess.
	We'll make it together.
	And please pass that bill.
	That was the whole point of it in my mind.
	Jack people up.
	Well, everything's to jack people up.
	Yeah, but this was special.
	It was special.
	It was specially hard to watch.
	Well, I had no problem watching the whole thing.
	Well, I'm sorry.
	I don't know.
	Maybe when you get my age, you will look at things like this and go, I don't have time for this.
	I woke up this morning at 3.30 and realized, crap, I'm 59.
	Where did it go?
	Well, you're gonna be 60.
	I know.
	Where did it go?
	I'm like, what am I doing?
	What am I doing with my life?
	I'm watching these movies.
	Is that when you start watching at 3 a.m.?
	No, no.
	I can see them.
	Oh God, I can't get to sleep.
	Maybe this will help.
	People are like, thanks man, you spoiled the movie for me.
	No, please watch.
	No, there's no way.
	And you said there is no such thing as a spoiler in this movie.
	No, there's not.
	Because there's no plot twist.
	There's nothing.
	Oh, look at that.
	Oh, he's actually an alien.
	There's none of that.
	There was no plot twist whatsoever.
	You can't spoil this movie.
	Now you spoiled it.
	Now you spoiled it that there's no plot twist.
	Well, actually, that is the spoiler.
	The spoiler is there's no spoiler.
	Yeah.
	It's like Fight Club.
	But it was, I mean, the whole, you know, cyber attack, radiation in cities.
	The one thing I learned from this is don't live in a city.
	That's what I learned from the movie.
	Bad place to be.
	You learned that before the movie.
	Why do you think I'm here in Fredericksburg?
	And now it's time for 3 by 3.
	Yes!
	Experiment by JCB.
	I thought you had one.
	Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.
	That's right everybody, it's time to check out the headlines.
	John C. Dvorak has pulled them for us.
	And where do we start?
	I do actually.
	I know you do.
	I had a couple of choices this week for this show.
	And I picked this group.
	This is a... because it's got Richard Engel.
	Beautiful.
	Beautiful.
	So this is about this.
	This is the same exact story.
	If you listen to the two we're going to play first, which is NBC and ABC in either order.
	Let's start with ABC.
	But these are the stories about what's going on in Gaza regarding the tunnels.
	They're going to flood them.
	And it's got this exact same script quote from Biden cut exactly the same.
	It's as though ABC and NBC are actually the same newsroom.
	It's pathetic, to be honest about it.
	Then we go to CBS at the end, where they actually introduce new information, which I thought was cool.
	But let's start with ABC.
	Tonight, Israel flooding the vast labyrinth of tunnels under Gaza, where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding, according to US officials.
	This image circulating online shows what appear to be recently laid pipes running from the sea to the shore.
	The IDF isn't commenting, but Israel's fighting to cripple Hamas's underground tunnel network.
	But concerns tonight about the safety of the 135 remaining hostages, including Americans, who may remain in those tunnels.
	There is assertions being made that there's quite sure there are no hostages in any of these tunnels.
	but I don't know that for a fact.
	And President Biden today with a stark warning to Israel, saying they're starting to lose the world's support because of their, quote, indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.
	Speaking off camera at a fundraiser, Biden with some of his harshest criticism yet for Prime Minister Netanyahu, calling his government the most conservative in Israel's history.
	Biden also suggesting the most right-wing Israeli leaders want, quote, retribution, not only against Hamas, but against all Palestinians, saying they don't want a two-state solution.
	Biden's comments exposing a growing divide between the two leaders.
	Benjamin Netanyahu saying today he and the president disagree about who will govern Gaza after the war.
	But Israel's first offensive rages on in Gaza.
	More than 18,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
	Ah, there's our health ministry again.
	Yeah, unverified, but they won't say that.
	Everything else they say is unverified, but there's no verification.
	And by the way, the most conservative ever?
	Does that include when they had that guy with the eye patch?
	Oh, uh, what was it?
	Moshe... Moshe... Moshe Dian.
	Moshe Dian, yeah.
	Now that was a good look.
	That guy was conservative.
	That was a look.
	That was a look.
	That was a look, man.
	That eye patch, dude.
	That was... He was a tough son of a bitch.
	Yeah, he was.
	He was.
	Okay, so we're going to go to Richard Engel, who's going to basically give almost an identical report, just kind of scramble a little bit.
	I think there's also some sound effects.
	And as though Engel is anywhere but in some hotel room.
	Nat Pops, as we know.
	Nat Pops is what they're called.
	Nat Pops, yes.
	And so we're gonna get a little bit of that.
	And Engel's always more breathless.
	He's very good at this.
	Here we go.
	Israel is pushing ahead with its devastating ground offensive in Gaza, fighting door-to-door to overthrow Hamas.
	And tonight, a U.S.
	official tells NBC News Israel is pumping seawater to flood Hamas tunnels in limited areas of Gaza, saying it's unclear if it will work.
	There is assertions being made that there's quite sure there are no hostages in any of these tunnels.
	But I don't know.
	But I don't know that for a fact.
	Israel's military campaign is now sparking tensions with the White House.
	President Biden speaking earlier at a fundraiser today, saying Israel is right to take on Hamas and has most of the world supporting them.
	But they're starting to lose that support by indiscriminate bombing in Gaza.
	And that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government has to change.
	You can't say there's no Palestinian state in the future.
	The administration wants the more moderate Palestinian Today, six aid groups said the humanitarian situation in Gaza is in an apocalyptic freefall.
	Writing, the war has killed more than 7,500 children.
	saying overnight, I will not allow the entry into Gaza of those who educate for terrorism, support terrorism, and finance terrorism.
	Today, six aid groups said the humanitarian situation in Gaza is in an apocalyptic freefall, writing, the war has killed more than 7,500 children, more than all global conflicts last year combined.
	Oh, he forgot to say, according to the Hamas-run health ministry...
	No, yeah, he said it as though it was fact.
	Yeah, okay.
	I find that to be peculiar.
	More than all children combined?
	Does that include Africa?
	Somehow I don't think so.
	I don't know.
	It's a good bit.
	It's a bit, sure.
	So now we have, it is, and by the way, I do have some Amy Goodman clips on the same thing, and she takes a different perspective, believe me.
	But so now we go to CBS and so CBS.
	Really has some new information, same report, exact same report, except there's new information.
	They add some dimension to it.
	They pass off the flooding the tunnels as kind of okay.
	They don't bring in that Joe Biden, exact same Joe Biden clip.
	I would say CBS, if we're going to analyze the three networks, is doing the best job of the three.
	The Israeli military is consolidating control in the north, demolishing a U.N.
	school allegedly used by Hamas in Beit Hanun.
	Israeli soldiers cheer.
	Israel's defense minister says fighting may still last for months, but you- Hold on.
	What were the Israeli soldiers cheering about?
	Like, yay, we got a school!
	Was that what they were- was that the point of that?
	That sounded pretty sick.
	I have another clip coming up later in the show where somebody's got a dog barking or something in the background makes no sense whatsoever or a phone ringing oh yeah okay we'll play it later.
	Israel's Defense Minister says fighting may still last for months, but U.S.
	pressure is rising for Israel to end its offensive sooner.
	New pressure is also rising against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with anger growing over an alleged decade-long agreement in which Qatar sent up to $30 million in cash to Hamas every month, a strategy known as buying quiet.
	They knew that the money was going directly into purchasing of rockets and building of tunnels.
	Why didn't they stop the money?
	Obviously, this concept blew up in everybody's face on October 7th.
	And tonight, in Jerusalem, protesters braved the rain to march on the Knesset, demanding Netanyahu bring all hostages still in Gaza home and calling for his resignation.
	He knew what Hamas is doing with this money.
	So he created some monster.
	Someday the monster...
	Came out.
	Uh-huh.
	And Israel's military has reportedly started to pump seawater into Hamas' tunnel complexes in order to destroy them.
	One concern, though, is that there may be hostages in some of them.
	But President Biden tonight says, quote, there are assertions being made there are no hostages inside.
	This has been an interesting narrative.
	The idea that Bibi Netanyahu himself created this monster and then unleashed it and let it happen because he loves killing children.
	That's basically, yeah, that's kind of the assertion.
	Now, when it comes to Qatar... On this clip, there's a couple of things to note.
	One is the idea of buying quiet.
	I like that term, buying quiet.
	I like it.
	I like it too.
	And if so, Qatar, who everyone thinks is kind of behind Hamas, From this report, which I believe, since it comes from the network that might have access to information the other ones don't, Qatar was actually sending the $30 million a month to the Hamas to tell them to just calm down.
	So it was buying quiet.
	The idea was they were bribing them, so they weren't the bad guys, Cutter.
	They were the guys trying to, hey, here's some more money, just quiet.
	That's interesting, because I got a report, reports called Outsource to Qatar.
	And the Qataris, I'll just, as if that's, you know, they're all like, all the Hamas guys are in one apartment, you know, hanging out, eating caviar, drinking, whatever.
	They have sent in the last 20 years, according to this report, $4.7 billion to U.S.
	universities.
	Which would kind of possibly explain the stance that some of the presidents had of these universities.
	That's a lot of money.
	Yeah.
	Like hundreds of millions per university.
	Yeah.
	And some of them, not the ones that were on trial, by the way, but some of them have, you know, campuses in Qatar.
	The Qataris don't seem like good guys.
	You know, and they're buying everything they're buying.
	They bought soccer and just basically buy it with the World Cup and then, you know, we'll buy anything we want.
	Yeah, they're free spenders.
	I think everyone who was there, including Elon Musk during the the World Cup, this should be condemned for it.
	Hanging out with Qataris.
	Well, I think in hindsight, yeah.
	Yeah, it's not good.
	And Biden is not doing himself any favors.
	Did you see this?
	I mean, there was more to that little speech he did.
	Now, famously, when he was a senator many years ago, and we haven't played this clip, Biden is out there saying, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist!
	I'm a Zionist!
	You've seen that clip, probably.
	Yeah, I remember it.
	He doubled down on it just during this speech.
	I got in trouble, got criticized very badly by the southern part of my state and some of the southern parts of the country when 35 years ago I said, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, and I'm a Zionist.
	This is not at Harvard, by the way.
	You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, folks.
	Were there no Israel, there wouldn't be a Jew in the world that was safe.
	Were there no Israel.
	Now he goes into some, now he goes into a famous Biden, I think is a lie, but let's listen to the tiny end of dates.
	It's been documented as a lie.
	I make no bones about it.
	I've had my differences with some Israeli leadership.
	I've known Bibi for now 51 years.
	He has a picture on his desk of he and I when he was a young member of the... 51 years he's known him.
	When Bibi was what?
	At MIT?
	Or when he was... I mean, Bibi Netanyahu was... It doesn't make any sense.
	He just makes this stuff up.
	I think he's making it up.
	...Israeli service here.
	Foreign service.
	I'm sorry, he was in foreign service here.
	Oh, as a spy at MIT?
	And I was a 32-year-old senator.
	Wait a minute.
	32-year-old, so he's now 83?
	Is that how old he is?
	So 51 years ago, he was a 32-year-old senator.
	He's not 83.
	No, of course not, liar.
	I wrote on the top of the DVD, I love you, but I don't agree with a damn thing you had to say.
	It's about the same today.
	I love it.
	He's not, I mean, I can just imagine if someone's cringing like, oh man.
	Can we, hey, where's the 30,000 lies list for this guy?
	Can somebody please call YouTube and get that one pulled off?
	Oh, it's a short already?
	Oh no.
	Oh no.
	It's on TikTok.
	We're lost.
	Well, I would like to play some Amy Goodman.
	Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound.
	All right, Amy Goodman.
	All right.
	So we're going to play, this is kind of the three by three, only this is the Amy Goodman version.
	Oh, brother.
	And it's called the Gaza Massacre.
	Is this Equity?
	This is Equity time?
	This is my version of Equity.
	Equity.
	Okay, very good.
	All right.
	Gaza Massacre.
	Here we go.
	In Gaza, witnesses say Israeli soldiers shot displaced people at point-blank range after they raided Shadia Abu Ghazala school in the northern Al-Fallujah area.
	According to Al Jazeera, newborn babies were reportedly among the victims.
	Heavy bombardment continues throughout the Gaza Strip, including in Rafah and Khan Yunis, where homes, businesses and schools were leveled in Israeli attacks.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	That makes nothing but sense.
	Sounds credible.
	Point blank range.
	Hey, come here.
	Yeah.
	Well, hey, they blew up the school and then they were dancing.
	They were happy about it.
	They were happy about it.
	We heard.
	By the way, I might want to point out war sucks, you know, and war is horrible.
	But I was, what was I watching?
	Um, oh man, there was, Who was it?
	It was... Someone was talking about... Oh, I probably should have clipped this.
	Oh, I know!
	It was Norman Lear!
	I was listening to Norman Lear.
	Interview from five years ago, so he was well in his 90s.
	Then he was talking about when he when that he recently had gone to Berlin he said it was so weird because when the last time I was in Berlin wasn't World War II but I was bombing I did two bombing runs of Berlin and I knew that there would be civilians there and I was like screw them.
	War does weird things to people.
	Yeah, he said that.
	He said, screw them!
	Screw them, they deserve it!
	So, war does weird things to people.
	It's not a good product.
	It's not a great product.
	It's horrible.
	Now, I wanted to, there was something in those early reports, Biden saying, or just discussing that, you know, that maybe the International support is slipping a little bit and blah blah blah.
	Yeah, well let's listen to this.
	U.N.
	votes, U.S.
	allies say nyet.
	Yes.
	The U.N.
	General Assembly Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
	153 U.N.
	members approved the resolution, 23 abstained, just 10, including the United States, voted no.
	Though non-binding, the U.N.
	vote is another indication of the mounting isolation of the U.S.
	as it continues to support Israel's assault, which has killed at least 18,000 Palestinians in a little over two months.
	Australia, which abstained from voting for the General Assembly ceasefire resolution in October, is one of the latest U.S.
	allies to split with Biden administration's position.
	This is Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wang.
	Australia, alongside 152 other countries, was among the countries which voted in favour.
	In doing so, we joined Canada, New Zealand, Japan, France and India, and many other countries.
	And in doing so, we have said, as Israel must respect international humanitarian law.
	I mean, this is the General Assembly, it's not the Security Council, so it's irrelevant.
	Well, the Security Council's irrelevant, too.
	Yes, of course it is.
	I have an Engel report, which I'm surprised you missed that one, because I thought this was a real, this tugged at your heartstrings.
	This was perfect.
	In Gaza now, conditions are beyond miserable.
	Heavy rains and shattered infrastructure today led to floods.
	Fifty miles away, in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem, the mood is sour.
	In the town where Christians believe Jesus was born, there are no tourists or pilgrims.
	No tree in Manger Square.
	Christmas celebrations have been cancelled in solidarity with Gaza.
	Inside the Church of the Nativity, we met Reverend Mitri Rahib.
	When you bring your gifts, think of the people in Gaza who are starving today.
	Starving not only for food, but starving for justice.
	In the grotto under the altar, where the faithful believe the manger once lay, we were the only ones to witness the rituals that have continued here for centuries.
	Where it began, no one is in the mood to celebrate Christmas.
	Wow, that guy needs to work on his away in the manger.
	He was way off key.
	It's a war on Christmas.
	That's right.
	War on Christmas.
	Christmas is cancelled.
	And I think we'll see that here.
	We will see people cancelling their Christmas out of solidarity.
	I think that will be a thing.
	That would be a... Is this going to be solidarity with the Ukrainians?
	Yes.
	People in Myanmar, possibly Sudan?
	Is it solidarity with them?
	Does anyone care about these other people?
	No, because they're not starving.
	As Israel continues to attack Hamas, food is increasingly scarce in Gaza.
	A desperate crowd today rushed to take whatever food aid they could in Rafah.
	The UN says half of the population is starving and diseases are spreading.
	In southern Gaza, 15-year-old Ruhaifa Bakr today tried to count the number of times she's been displaced.
	We are tired, so tired, we are begging for one bite, she says.
	90% of Gazans have been driven from their homes, according to the UN.
	Many are now living in the open desert.
	That wall is the Egyptian border.
	The end of the line.
	Nowhere is left that's safe for Gazans or the hostages.
	So Egypt won't let them in?
	Hey, A-angle, give them some food if you're there.
	Hey Engel, give him some food!
	No.
	No, no.
	I mean, that's a heart-wrenching report.
	He's really tugging at the strings.
	He's tugging at the strings.
	No, I want to come back to... Is he there, or was he in some hotel suite?
	Green screen, of course, is what these guys do.
	As far as I know, they're not letting any American journalists in the area, so how is he there?
	I don't know.
	He's hanging out with, what's his face?
	Who's the Brit who's there now?
	The intellectual guy.
	We had a clip of him.
	What's his name?
	The guy who's so smart he pants.
	He was reporting there.
	Anyway, it's horrible.
	The whole thing's a mess.
	Of course it is.
	It's a mess.
	Then it's creating a mess everywhere.
	The universities, oh!
	Mess, mess, times mess.
	Harvard.
	Harvard is arguably the world's best known and most prestigious university.
	This institution, which shapes the American elite, has become a flashpoint in the U.S.
	reaction to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
	Israeli violence has deprived Palestinians the dignity of burying their dead.
	This is a member of the Palestine Support Committee, the first student group to issue a statement after October 7th.
	It was contentious, notably because it accused Israel of being entirely responsible for the Hamas attack, without a word for the Israeli victims.
	It was just intended to contextualize the situation within 75 years of occupation, within decades of siege, within apartheid, within settler colonialism, within ethnic cleansing.
	And I think it was supposed to warn of the coming violence that we would surely see in weeks to follow.
	So why not condemn Hamas?
	Harvard refuses to call a genocide a genocide!
	Genocide!
	We put that question to the students who refused to answer.
	I'm sorry, I can't answer that question.
	There has absolutely been a double standard in how mainstream media approaches this.
	We need to recognize the Zionist regime for what it is, and that is a settler colonial regime that seeks to wipe the historic land of Palestine clean of any Palestinians in order to create their own land that excludes and eliminates other people.
	Okay, so this kind of triggered me, because in following on the clips that you had on the last show, where... Boy, someone really yelled at me about that.
	About what?
	Well, about the kid who was there, you know, well, once we... Once we get rid of Israel, we get rid of the United States.
	Yeah, someone was like, you're just laughing at dead people!
	Uh, no.
	No, we're not.
	I was not laughing at dead people.
	No, people don't listen very well.
	It doesn't matter.
	This is not atypical.
	University students have been brainwashed.
	It's not about Israel-Hamas.
	It's about colonialism.
	The West is bad.
	White is bad.
	Men are bad.
	Straight white old men, very very bad.
	Especially if they live in the West, and this is an ongoing program, and it's very understandable when you look at the history.
	Oh, history listening and coming.
	When you look at the history, what was the last thing they were protesting for?
	I mean, besides the ongoing LGBTQ+, which usurped Black Lives Matter, and there has been a long-standing, long-standing operation going on between black Americans and The Palestinian region.
	I'm saying that purposely.
	Palestine.
	This has been going on since almost before I was born.
	In 1964, Malcolm X published an article in the Egyptian Gazette called Zionist Logic, in which he drew parallels between the oppression of Palestinians and Africans.
	Instead of seeing it as a religious conflict, Malcolm saw Israel as a colonial project serving a wider imperialist agenda, saying, European imperialists wisely placed Israel where she could geographically divide the Arab world.
	In the same year, Malcolm was one of the first African leaders to publicly meet with the Palestine Liberation Organization as anti-colonial struggles gained traction through the world.
	Freedom for Palestinians became a touchstone for the international fight against imperialism.
	As black freedom movements expanded their worldview to situate their struggle as part of a global anti-colonial movement, Palestine also became an important focal point of their solidarity.
	On August 15, 1967, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee released a position paper entitled, The Middle East Crisis, expressing support for Palestine and criticizing U.S.
	support for Israel.
	Organizations such as the Black Panthers argued that freedom would never come for black people in America unless all oppressed people were free.
	The Panthers frequently spoke of black communities and their relationship with police as living under occupation as internally colonized people.
	They were vocal in their support for Palestine and met with the PLO in Algiers in 1969.
	So that's Black Panthers and Malcolm X. Wait, hold on a second.
	Whoever got you that clip, I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
	That's a beauty.
	Oh, thank you.
	I got that myself from TRT.
	Give yourself a pat on the back.
	I have another one.
	I have a second.
	But follow up.
	Go ahead.
	Go ahead.
	Israel's not in a position, it's not put in, it's not in a spot that's dividing the Arab nations.
	It's in between Egyptians and Arabs.
	There's no other, it's not like in the middle between Saudi Arabia and, you know, the UAE or anything like that.
	That's nonsense.
	But yeah, I understand.
	I remembered some of this from my days at Cal, Berkeley, these thoughts.
	It's the same thing.
	And black Americans, from early on, were infiltrated by Marxists.
	The true Marxists came in and right away went, hey, the Marxists were in the South, in America, trying to get, you know, people to get on board, and the only people who showed up were black people.
	Like, hey, these guys care about us, they're listening to us.
	And there's a long-standing friction between blacks and Jews in America.
	So this wedge has been played for a long time, and it always comes down to America bad, bad bad, colonialism.
	I'm not saying that there's no colonialism going on here, but this is not a new thing.
	In fact, let's go back a little less far.
	Muhammad Ali also declared his support for the Palestinian struggle, marching for Palestinian rights and visiting a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.
	In 1979, Reverend Jesse Jackson met with the PLO and pushed for the U.S.
	to deal directly with the organization in pursuit of a peace deal.
	Just and lasting peace is inextricably bound for a state, for Palestinian people, and the recognition of the PLO as the government in exile with which our nation must negotiate.
	This was a significant shift in support for Palestine, moving from radical groups to more mainstream figures who were able to lobby for shifts in U.S.
	policy.
	Ten years later, Jackson would find himself in an audience in Harlem as Nelson Mandela addressed a packed town hall.
	As far as Yasser Arafat is concerned, I explained to Mr. Sidney that we identify with the P&O because, just like ourselves, They are fighting for the right of self-determination.
	There you go.
	So, actually, you know, now I think about it, I want to make sure, there was, I think it might have been a producer who sent me this.
	I may be wrong.
	It may not have been my discovery alone.
	I don't want to take, no stolen valor.
	Stolen valor?
	Oh my God.
	So I should mention a couple of things.
	One, when I went, I went and visited Israel some time ago, but before I did, I was given a briefing on some of the stuff going on.
	I was told that there was never going to be any such two-state solution once, they're never going to, this schism had to exist because of basic corruption.
	And this guy is Israeli, of course, so the information could be slanted.
	But he pointed me to a Time magazine article, one of them, he says, by this writer who hasn't gotten a job since, discussing the kind of corruption that goes on in what would become Gaza, which included Coca-Cola concessions.
	Yeah, yes.
	That only went to a certain group of people.
	Everything was bought and paid for by bribery.
	And it was so much money being made via the PLO.
	And that's the reason we always forget the fact that after he died, it was discovered that Yasser Arafat had billions of dollars stored away in a Swiss bank.
	How did you get billions?
	Not a couple of bucks, but billions.
	Yeah.
	Everyone's full of crap.
	And people don't care about their people, just like our so-called leaders don't actually care about us.
	The faster people realize that, the better.
	You know?
	No.
	There's just no care in the world.
	And you don't have to choose a side.
	You could be choosing sides all day long, as we keep pointing out.
	There's sides everywhere.
	How about looking at your own city, or your own neighborhood?
	How's it going there?
	Potholes.
	I do have some Black Lives Matter, trans Maoist, racist stuff, two fun clips.
	Ah, that's always a winner.
	Always fun, always fun.
	And the first one is James O'Keefe.
	Man, he doesn't need his donors.
	He's doing just fine.
	He got a Zoom call from the CEO of IBM, who's Indian.
	I think he's Indian.
	I thought the CEO was Gina Rometty.
	This is from 2021.
	I thought the CEO then was her.
	Um, who was this guy then?
	CEO IBM.
	Let me see.
	No, Arvid Krishna.
	Arvid Krishna?
	Yeah.
	Is the CEO?
	Yeah, I guess.
	Oh, maybe chairman and CEO.
	Since April 2020.
	Took on the role of chairman in 2021.
	Yeah, we're behind.
	What do we know?
	No kidding.
	What do we know?
	It was during COVID, you know, anything that happened during COVID.
	Also on this Zoom call was the CEO of Red Hat.
	Which has since been acquired, which was an acquisition by IBM a while ago.
	Looks like a white dude.
	Then there's some, she doesn't talk much, there's some like a PR lady who's just smiling like a doofus on camera the whole time.
	He has a whole report, I'm going to play one minute of it.
	You'll get the idea pretty quick.
	So we take underrepresented and gender.
	You've got to move both forward by a percentage.
	That leads to a plus on your bonus.
	By the way, if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.
	I'm not trying to finesse this.
	So for blacks, we should try to get towards 13 point something percent.
	On Hispanics, you've got to get into the mid-teens.
	Let me say it.
	Asians in the U.S.
	are not an underrepresented minority in a tech company.
	James O'Keefe here outside of IBM's corporate headquarters in Armonk, New York.
	An IBM insider has provided us with an internal video showing the CEO of IBM, Arvind Krishna, using coercion to fire people and take away their bonuses unless they discriminate in the hiring process.
	Let me go deeper into Red Hat.
	Multiple leaders over the last year plus that were held accountable to the point that they're no longer here at Red Hat because they weren't willing to live up to the standards that we set in this space.
	This conversation takes place every single day, and a lot of it's behind the scenes.
	They terminated executives that didn't discriminate, yet another violation of Title VII.
	One of the biggest companies in the world, one of the most valuable and recognizable brands on Earth.
	So they had quotas.
	You know, like, oh, you need to hire 2% more black people, 2% more trans people.
	They had quotas, and if you didn't do it, then either your bonus would get docked, or you can get fired outright.
	How about that?
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Wow is right, IBM.
	I mean, I wish there was a product that could ban, but I don't use any.
	I mean, who uses IBM products?
	I mean, I'm sure we all use it indirectly because, you know.
	They have things here and there.
	When's the last time you bought an IBM PC, a ThinkPad?
	Do they still exist?
	Did they, are they sold?
	No, they sold that whole business to Lenovo.
	Lenovo, right, right.
	So they don't even make those anymore.
	And I don't know what they, you know, I think they still make some sort of chips.
	But this goes on everywhere in boardrooms and in executive suites across the United States.
	It's a scandal.
	Of many examples.
	What happened to the meritocracy that this country was founded on?
	No, man.
	It's about your gender and your skin color.
	And that is a direct result of Larry Fink's invention, which he's backpedaling on, ESG, which a big part of your ESG, your environmental social governance score, is your diversity and equity inside your corporation, along with your greenwashing.
	No, it's horrible, and it makes these companies suck, and there you go!
	IBM, I think you suck.
	Where's your AI?
	Where's your Watson?
	No.
	But that's okay, because racism is... They end up failing in the market.
	Oh, yeah, eventually.
	Eventually, yeah.
	And O'Keefe will help them.
	O'Keefe is helping them.
	Yes, helping them fail.
	But they will fail in the market, because if you bring in mediocre people, eventually you just get mediocre product, and it's very hard to swing that boat around once it's ingrained in the organization.
	Uh, Boston though.
	The Mayor of Boston.
	Oh man, a little email boo-boo.
	Boston Mayor Michelle Wu showing up to her Beacon Hill holiday party in all smiles after an email error sparked controversy surrounding the festive affair.
	It was one of those emails that we've all sent at one point or another?
	No.
	Seven News obtained this email sent by a member of the Mayor's staff to the entire City Council Tuesday.
	I cordially invite you and a guest to the Electeds of Color holiday party.
	But 15 minutes later, another email went out, rescinding that invite to the white councilors, clarifying, I did send that to everyone by accident.
	I apologize if my email may have offended.
	Mistake or not, City Councilor Frank Baker says this is just one example of the racial divisions inside City Hall.
	Well, yeah, I do find it divisive.
	But, you know, what are you going to do about it?
	You don't want me at a party?
	I'm not going to come to a party, so, you know.
	Party officials say the event has been happening for years and the mayor is defending the party.
	I can understand someone would be confused or worried if certain people weren't being invited at all or were being left out of any type of celebration but I assure you everyone on the Boston City Council has gotten an invitation to multiple types of events and holiday parties.
	Now going off of that, the mayor says that there will be another party at the same location on another date where all city officials are invited to attend.
	Scandalous!
	There was a Christmas party for the elected people of color, which as Mo would say is another way of saying elected color people.
	So that's all he can hear.
	Such a bullcrap.
	Yeah, I don't blame him.
	To be honest about it, that's what I always hear too.
	What a bullcrap term.
	It's racist.
	It's just racist.
	And then they do a segregated party?
	Yes!
	Yes, segregated party.
	That's pathetic.
	It is.
	I mean, you should go throw a party at IBM.
	You'd fit right in with their culture.
	Um, okay.
	Now, this has got to be my favorite topic for today.
	You're on a roll!
	Yeah, no, there's this... Did you just do a show with Mo or something?
	No, no, no, Mo and I are due for a show.
	We're due for a show.
	Um, no, something really beautiful happened.
	So, I was listening to my favorite show, The Hate Listen.
	Pivot, pivot, yes.
	Pivot with Professor Prof G and your protégé.
	Sorry, I have to stop and tell you something.
	I was reluctant to tell you, but I'm going to tell you.
	Alright.
	So I'm talking to Mimi.
	She's doing the good news stuff and it's like, she's overdoing it as usual.
	She's picking the good news?
	Currently, yeah.
	Because she'd give me 20 of them.
	And I was like, oh my god, I can't take it.
	Maybe she's like, oh, good news!
	I'm looking for good news!
	She's a maniac.
	So, she says that, you know, Adam is better on the show than ever before.
	He's not so testy.
	He's not so uptight about everything you say.
	He's not like an old lesbian.
	What?
	Was I ever like an old lesbian?
	I'm agreeing with her when she says this.
	And she says he's funnier.
	He doesn't get offended by everything like he used to.
	Wow.
	And then she said it's because he stopped smoking dope.
	I think that's a part of it.
	Possibly.
	Yeah, that's part of it.
	I mean, it's yes.
	Well, I mean, I said that until he doesn't smoke dope or tobacco products anymore.
	So that changes a little bit.
	My DNA is religious.
	Yeah, he's a little bit accepting, but Jesus has saved me.
	She said, she's not a fan of you being saved, but... No, of course not.
	Heathen.
	I said that religion should, if it works, keep him from going back to smoking pot all the time.
	I'm not going to smoke anymore.
	Because you were, and people don't realize this, you were basically 24-7 on a heater.
	You were a 24-7 smoker.
	on a heater.
	You were a 24-7 smoker.
	Wake and bake, baby.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And I never thought it really affected your personality, but she says it's noticeable.
	Ah, well that's not according to one of our donations that we'll have later on today.
	You're a hater!
	I don't know what I am.
	Anyway, I'm not a hater.
	Now, what's interesting is the Heritage Foundation came out with a document, and this is the genesis of what's going on here.
	This document is called Project 2025.
	And we can talk about that in a moment.
	But this is basically the conservative slash Republican manual for all the things they want to do.
	And it's very Heritage Foundation.
	It's a thousand pages.
	It's a big document.
	And as you can imagine, it's stuff like, hey, Republicans.
	Racism against white people is racism.
	Hey, let's try and reduce this abortion epidemic we've got.
	You know, it's all the Heritage Foundation stuff you'd expect.
	But this is not the Heritage Foundation.
	No, this is Trump!
	It's all about Trump!
	Trump?
	Oh yeah.
	And this came out of the Heritage?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Trump and the Heritage are not even close to each other.
	I know, I know.
	But before we get to that part, I first want to go to the hate listen, which I adore them.
	I just want you to know that if they were value for value, I'd send them value.
	I disagree with this.
	With what?
	You don't, uh, you don't endure them.
	You like listening to this show.
	No, I said, I said adore.
	I said adore.
	You said endure.
	I said adore.
	I said I adore them.
	You endure them.
	No, you heard it wrong.
	I said I adore them.
	Yeah, I do.
	I adore them.
	Roll back the tape!
	I love Kara's part.
	I love it when she goes on shows and says, Elon Musk, drop the F word.
	This is a 52-year-old man.
	She used to love it.
	You pointed this out.
	She used to be a big, huge fan of Elon.
	Yeah.
	What happened between those two?
	Well, you know, she is a pushover.
	She's an access journalist.
	You know, if Elon said something good about her, I bet you she'd turn the corner on this.
	Oh, in a heartbeat.
	She was all, oh, Apple, this stupid visor, it's no good.
	This Vision Pro, it's like Google Glass.
	They invite her for a demo.
	Wow, this is the future.
	Oh, please.
	Please.
	No, Elon shined her on and said, no, be whatever.
	And, you know, I gave Elon all the breaks.
	I created Elon Musk.
	It doesn't matter.
	They had Dan Pfeiffer on.
	Dan Pfeiffer, he's from Pod Save America, he's from that whole group.
	And he's actually, for my money, he's the smartest of the group and he was an Obama advisor.
	Yeah, these guys, the Pod Saver Americas are the left-wingers of podcasting.
	It's not Chapo Trap House, but it's close.
	Pfeiffer is a smart guy.
	And he has a podcast, which is kind of why I was listening, because he has a podcast called The Polar Coaster.
	I know, right?
	Get off the polar coaster because it's all about polls.
	Anyway, he goes on and he gives a recommendation what the Democrats should not do, what they should not be doing with Trump right now.
	We have focused, and I think rightfully, on Donald Trump saying, on day one.
	But what keeps getting left out is what he said right after that.
	He basically said, I am going to abuse power to secure the border and, quote, drill, drill, drill.
	So what he is trying to do is to say, I'm going to be an authoritarian, but I'm going to be an authoritarian for you.
	Here's how I'm going to help your life, right?
	We know that these things, people care a lot about.
	Cost of energy and border is at the top of, it's right below inflation on a lot of the polls in terms of concerns for voters.
	What Democrats should do is not, is we should avoid some traps.
	First is we shouldn't run around talking about how strong Donald Trump is because strength is part of his appeal.
	We have to talk about his The fact that he is weak, right?
	Donald Trump has never stood up to anyone in his life.
	He bows down to CEOs, he bows down to dictators, he's running for president not to help you but because he's afraid to face the consequences for his actions in office last time.
	Make it about his weakness, right?
	Donald Trump, that is a trap to make us talk about how strong and fearful he is.
	Next, and I think this is really important, is we have to talk about how, what Donald Trump would do, how him being a dictator or seizing power or abusing power would affect you.
	Right?
	And I think that one great way to do this, talk about abortion.
	Right?
	The Heritage Foundation and others have talked about how even if Donald Trump is unable to pass a federal abortion ban, they can weaponize the federal government to put in fact a de facto federal abortion ban.
	So he's read the Heritage Foundation document and he makes a really smart point here.
	He says, don't be talking about him being the dictator.
	Don't do that because that only solidifies he's a powerful, powerful man.
	He specifically, and I think smartly says, no, we should not be doing this.
	Supercut time!
	What would a second Donald Trump term look like?
	Well, he cannot be the next president.
	Because if he is... You can't imagine the things that he's going to do.
	Mexico!
	Canada!
	We can't go to Canada because eventually Canada will become an ex to America.
	And shoot visitors to the White House.
	Yeah.
	That means he can shoot the First Lady.
	We're gonna see violence the likes of which we didn't even see on January 6th.
	He will make it illegal to run against him, to throw his opponents in jail, to shut down the media.
	He will make himself into the Fuhrer, and he will make everybody raise their hand and salute him.
	Using martial law against the American people.
	Terminate the Constitution.
	Rewrite the Constitution.
	Mass internment camps.
	Throw everyone into Gitmo.
	Might be sent to jail, or their rights might be suppressed.
	Especially minority groups in society.
	You might have any number of things happen to you and your family.
	Every one of us, our freedom, our liberty.
	None of us is safe.
	He's going to have people around him executing against an enemies list.
	Assassinate generals.
	Ordering troops to attack American citizens.
	His very well-armed and extremist base will try to kill people.
	He's going to basically burn the House down.
	He will unravel the institutions of our democracy.
	Draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler.
	Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
	Make Donald Trump even more dangerous.
	He wants to take away your vote.
	Senate and the House are immediately going to be paralyzed.
	People will begin in their minds to censor themselves.
	They might say, well maybe I shouldn't say this.
	This is the end of democracy.
	I think that could be the end of our democracy.
	Democracy is dead if Trump is re-elected.
	Osiup to Putin that democracy will be at risk.
	The absolute destruction of the Justice Department as we know it.
	The Justice Department could be entirely transformed.
	I am really concerned about that.
	Every person who was associated with the attempted coup elevated in the administration.
	He's re-elected.
	He will curb transgender rights.
	End of the rule of law.
	Arrest political opponents.
	To persecute, not prosecute, but persecute his enemies.
	Take a wrecking ball to the rule of law.
	He's going to make the law everyone else will have to follow.
	The vote for Donald Trump may mean the last election that you ever get to vote in.
	To go after the independent and free parts of American civic life.
	He would tear down our institutions.
	Purge the government of employees.
	Department by department effort to weaponize the powers of the government.
	To use the military to quash protests.
	Reading the government of all democratic safeguards.
	Junking American democracy as we have always known it.
	That he would try to stay in office beyond a second term.
	That he would never leave office.
	There's no question.
	Trump is re-elected, he won't leave.
	Donald Trump will never leave office voluntarily.
	And what that means is that everybody who wants us to remain a republic has to put every other thing aside and work together urgently, right now, to stop that from happening.
	Props to Grabien for putting that together.
	So do they heed any advice?
	No.
	Well, the Republicans are the same way.
	I was listening to of all people, I don't like him, which is Sean Hannity.
	And he's giving advice to the party about, you know, how to ride this abortion thing correctly.
	And of course, no one's going to pay any attention to him.
	They're going to lose a lot of votes because they're going to get whiplash, rip whip.
	Whipsawed by the Democrats on abortion issues.
	If the Democrats can drag themselves away from the Hitler-Mussolini dictator thing, which I think is exactly why Trump did that.
	Well, now that you mention it, I think that analysis by your podcasting friend was right on the money.
	I think so too.
	We've noticed this on this show.
	He doesn't know how to pick people for his cabinet.
	He just basically, are you a backstabber?
	You're hired.
	Brings in people like the Walrus.
	Bolton.
	I mean, why would you even hire that guy?
	He's a fart sniffer.
	I'd never hire that guy.
	And he's got a whole slew of counsel and foreign relations people that are, you know, set up to go against him in the drop of a hat.
	Yeah.
	And it's just, uh, you know, but on the other hand, you got Biden.
	Well, do you want to hear about- But yeah, I agree with everything that you played there.
	So here's a video from this, so the Project 2025, project2025.org.
	I mean, this is a video from it, just to give you an idea.
	Conservatives exist to conserve the ideals of the American founding.
	These ideas are actually the source of our recovery.
	Notice the difference in music.
	On January 20th, when the president puts his hand on the Bible, everything changes.
	Our goal is to ensure that the conservative administration that takes office in January of 2025 is ready on day one.
	The next conservative president will only be able to do so with your help.
	I'm the President of the Conservative Partnership Institute.
	Vice President of Hillsdale College.
	The head of the Office of Justice Programs.
	Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs.
	Senior Advisor to the President.
	Assistant Press Secretary.
	You're here to cut government.
	You're here to do something that's not in their interest.
	The deep state is real.
	You want to be someone who knows answers.
	As a public servant, you're working on behalf of the American people.
	The greatest country on the planet.
	So they have a job to ensure that that power is executed responsibly.
	So they have a whole training project.
	You know, they've got materials.
	They've got their whole policy directive.
	I mean, it's not a Trump thing.
	They have the mandate for leadership, you know, our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained and prepared conservatives to go to work on day one to deconstruct the administrative state.
	I don't think there's an American that doesn't agree with that.
	But there's an administrative state that's gone too far.
	So, fine.
	But it's not a Trump thing.
	It's just not.
	I don't think Trump is all that tight with the Heritage Foundation.
	I don't think he's that tight with conservatives in general.
	Yeah.
	Well, so you can stop this next one whenever you want.
	This was a TikTok guy.
	And he read the document, which... What document?
	The big document?
	The Project 2025, which in his mind, it's Trump.
	This is not the Heritage Foundation.
	In his mind, this is the Trump document.
	And you can deconstruct just by listening to what he's saying, but how he's twisting the words of what's actually in there.
	I think you'll like it.
	If you haven't heard about Project 2025, stop what you're doing and watch this.
	Project 2025 is a plan for Trump's second term that would transform America into a far-right, Christian, nationalist, militarized state.
	You can read the nearly thousand-page plan for yourself at project2025.org so you can know I am not exaggerating.
	Three key facts.
	Number one, a mass firing purge that Trump authorized before the 2020 election but never got to act on is at the center of Project 2025.
	Now, more than two million Americans across the country are part of the federal civilian workforce.
	Scientists at scientific agencies, doctors at the FDA, accountants at the IRS.
	We want experts doing jobs that require expertise.
	So the document says, we gotta pair these agencies down.
	They're badgering the American public.
	That turns into, we want our doctors, we want our tax experts.
	But more than 50,000 of them would be fired under this plan and replaced with MAGA loyalists.
	Oh, loyalists!
	Who would use the power of these agencies Yes!
	But without Congress!
	Oh, there must be Nazis!
	of America without needing to involve Congress.
	Well, without Congress?
	Or two.
	Project 2025 is a far-right Christian nationalist agenda.
	Oh, there must be Nazis.
	By page five, they're already proclaiming pornography should be outlawed.
	The people who...
	Now, okay, so I know a lot of people are like, what?
	Hold on a second, man.
	Don't touch my porn!
	But that's not what they're talking about.
	This is a great twist of what's actually in there.
	Because, of course, they're talking about the material that is in books in schools, in grade schools.
	In other words, grade schools with all the basically pornography that has been Kind of slipped into the grade schools.
	In California, they made it illegal to take those books out of the schools.
	Because porn is great.
	Pushed that through, but he doesn't really know what he's doing.
	But it's interesting that he phrases this as, they're going to outlaw pornography.
	I mean, everyone's like, what?
	What?
	What are you gonna do?
	That's an interesting twist.
	I like it.
	Listen to the whole thing.
	2025 is a far-right Christian nationalist agenda.
	By page 5, they're already proclaiming pornography should be outlawed, the people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned, educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders.
	This would be alarming enough if they were talking about actual pornography, but their definition spans anything that acknowledges the existence of LGBTQ people.
	They claim on page 451 that families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society, thereby designating queer people, Notice the people who get abortions.
	as inherently inferior and a threat to the state.
	Notice the people who get abortions.
	On page 584, they call for the Department of Labor to explicitly give companies permission to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans.
	On page 454.
	This is your thing.
	This is your thing.
	You always say you don't want people with the tattoos and the piercings and the hair.
	You don't want them in your company.
	You're a horrible LGBTQ plus hater.
	I'm not an LGBTQ plus hater.
	I think it's, and I don't think it's got anything to do with any of these issues.
	No, of course not.
	You don't want certain kinds of mentalities in your company that will just bring in others of the same ilk.
	Yes.
	And then they'll turn on you.
	Yes.
	Your company has to be, it has to have one corporate culture of people that are all in agreement, lockstep, so the company can survive, can survive and do well.
	So I say, make sure, do testing to make sure that the woke aren't hired.
	So, you don't need to hear more of this, do you?
	Of this particular one?
	I think you've heard enough.
	Or are you pining for more?
	You want more?
	I can play a little more.
	You know, you can stop because I think you probably want to.
	Yeah, I do.
	But, uh, yeah.
	Yeah, this is what you do.
	So, uh, you just reinterpret.
	You can do that with anything.
	And you just did it by turning on me.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I turned on ya.
	Yeah.
	Because, uh, you know, no longer smoking dope.
	Turned on ya.
	That's exactly the reason.
	If you were smoking dope, okay, whatever.
	That's cool, man.
	So now, Vivek.
	Vivek, all of a sudden it dawned on me, he's working for Trump.
	His job is the same job- No.
	It hadn't dawned on me until I saw parts of his town hall, which was quite funny.
	I have a couple of clips.
	Oh, he's hilarious.
	In fact, he's outdoing Trump in a lot of ways.
	No, I think that's the whole thing.
	Trump is like, here's what you do.
	And he may even be writing some shtick for him.
	Shtick?
	Shtick.
	Because Vivek is doing shtick, and he's good, and he's snappy, and he is... I mean, he obviously has FU money, so he doesn't care.
	And I think, you know, he could have a comedian coach.
	It feels like it.
	Even his hair, his hair wasn't all crazy up in the air like that, all like Bozo before.
	Have you noticed his hair?
	I'm a hair guy.
	His hair is a little wacky.
	A little more manic.
	A little more manic, exactly.
	And just as Chris Christie's entire raison d'etre, which is French for reason for being, is to protect Nimrod, What's her name?
	Nimrod.
	Yeah, Nimrod Haley.
	Nikki.
	Nikki Haley.
	Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki, Nikki.
	His whole job is to protect her, is to encircle her, and to, you know, to ward off... You saw it during that debate for what we could watch of it.
	So Vivek is...
	Vivek is doing the same thing for Trump, but he's going out there and he's delivering the Trump message.
	If you had told me, it's close to three years ago that January 6, 2021 happened.
	If you had told me three years ago, back when I was a biotech CEO, not steeped in this world, I was just consuming passive media but was focused on my world of developing medicines.
	If you had told me that January 6 was in any way an inside job, the subject of government entrapment, I would have told you that was crazy talk.
	This is good, by the way.
	This is a good way to put it.
	Hey, I mean, I was making medicines that my mom somehow was involved with.
	Okay, doesn't matter.
	I was making medicines.
	I was a biotech guy.
	I have a Red Book prediction.
	Go.
	Because if this guy is doing a cover for Trump, what is he going to end up as?
	Is he going to get a government job?
	Yes, he's getting a gig, sure.
	But I have had the prediction.
	Okay.
	Ambassadorship.
	Good one.
	Of his own choosing.
	Yeah, but what would he choose?
	Well, he could choose India.
	He could really have fun down there.
	No, no.
	The ones you want are London.
	Yeah, you want London, you want Paris.
	Paris?
	Yeah, you don't want India.
	John Doerr over here at Kleiner Perkins was always supporting these.
	He wanted London.
	He always wanted London.
	I thought he wanted Paris.
	Oh, either way.
	And he kept getting on the wrong horse.
	It was too funny.
	Yeah, Digigoro, you're right.
	He has Kramer from Seinfeld hair.
	That's what he's got.
	It's Kramer hair.
	There's something about it.
	Anyway, so he's styled... He's doing his... I was reading People Magazine!
	I'm reading USA Today!
	I watched Entertainment Tonight!
	I thought this would have been crazy, but now... I would have told you that was crazy talk.
	Fringe conspiracy theory nonsense.
	I can tell you now, having gone somewhat deep in this, it's not.
	I mean, the reality is this.
	Now listen to the back and forth with him and the news model from CNN.
	We do have a government, first of all, we have to acknowledge that has lied to us systematically over the last several years about the origin of COVID-19.
	How about the Hunter Biden laptop that we were told was false by 51 CIA experts and otherwise before we now know that it was true?
	You can go straight down the list, the Trump-Russia disinformation collusion hoax, all of it.
	Now we come to January 6th.
	The reality is we know that there were federal law enforcement agents in that field.
	We don't know how many.
	I think it's shameful, if I may finish just to answer your question.
	I'm going to go ahead and interrupt you here because you're saying that there were... Establishment doesn't approve of this message, I know this, but... Did you catch what he says?
	No, I missed it.
	He says, I understand, you have to interrupt me because the establishment does not approve of this message.
	He's doing shtick!
	He's doing shtick!
	I'm going to go ahead and interrupt you here because you're saying that there were... Establishment doesn't approve of this message, I know this, but... You should be able to talk about this.
	You're saying that there were federal agents... This is important to talk about.
	I think they're clapping for him and not for her.
	There is no evidence that there were federal agents in the crowd on January 6.
	So why before Congress when pressed on what the number was, they didn't say there were none, they just couldn't say how many there were.
	So you're saying that you have not seen any evidence that there were, and so you assume that there were.
	We've seen multiple informants suggesting that there were.
	We know people were FBI informants who were asked to- Is there any evidence- May I just finish this and then you can come back and question me?
	Well let me clarify- That is very uncomfortable for you.
	I know it's uncomfortable for you.
	He's like, I feel bad for you.
	I know, I understand you have to do this.
	I know the control room's yelling in your ear.
	I'm so sorry.
	I'm going to give you hard facts, and if I may, Abby, I know this is going to be a little uncomfortable.
	We're going to go through this and you can push back on it.
	I'm waiting for the evidence.
	She was like, this is gonna be great, this is my launch into a primetime show on CNN.
	Poor girl.
	What is this guy doing?
	Comfortable.
	But we're gonna go through this and you can push back on it after that.
	And you can push back on that.
	And let's do this fairly.
	Why did they suppress footage?
	Of now what's been released, 200 hours of footage of shooting rubber bullets into that crowd.
	Shooting tear gas into that crowd.
	You didn't see that before, you saw what the response was to that.
	Now you see footage coming out of actually rolling out the red carpet for Capitol Police allowing people in.
	Mr. Ramaswamy, again, the vast majority of that footage.
	No, she's trying to... No, no, the vast majority of that footage... It shows... Mr. Ramachandran, the vast majority of the footage shows police officers being overrun by violent rioters.
	That's what the vast majority of the... Violent rioters?
	I'm not cherry-picking.
	If I may finish, Abby.
	If I may finish, Abby.
	I'm not cherry-picking.
	Examples... To the contrary.
	To the contrary.
	You know who cherry-picked?
	You know who cherry-picked?
	The government.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop it.
	So what you've got here, which is the interesting part, this is supposed to be a debate between the candidates.
	No, no, no.
	This is not a debate.
	This is the town hall.
	Oh, this is the town hall.
	The poor Lady Abby.
	Is she supposed to be arguing with the guy?
	Yes, because... Tell him there's no evidence.
	Tell him he's cherry-picking.
	Tell him the vast majority is doing this.
	Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him.
	You tell him.
	That's what's going on.
	That's what they all want.
	So that's what's going on, but is that the format?
	No, of course not.
	You're supposed to ask the question and let the guy answer.
	But the job now of the interviewer is to fact-check in real time.
	I know this because that's what Prof. G. and Kara are always talking about.
	They want fact-checking in real time.
	But her facts don't add up.
	So here's what entrapment is.
	You can't cherry-pick.
	I'm not cherry-picking.
	If I may finish, Abby.
	If I may finish, Abby.
	I'm not cherry-picking.
	Examples.
	To the contrary.
	To the contrary.
	You know who cherry-picked?
	You know who cherry-picked?
	The government.
	And say that that is what happened on January 6th.
	The government cherry-picked 12 hours of footage when there was 200 hours.
	The cherry-picking was the government, not me.
	Good!
	That's someone who knows what he's doing.
	He's been trained.
	He's quick on the draw.
	There's no doubt about it.
	We've noticed that from the get-go.
	So he's fast on his feet.
	He's also been coached, obviously.
	I think, obviously.
	And his timing is good.
	Yes.
	And he's like a board forcer with a A big plate, you know, a big plank in front of his head, he's like, just ramming right through, just talking right over her.
	This explains...
	From the beginning when we both were suspicious of the guy.
	Why is he here?
	What is he doing?
	And you've heard the right-wing talk show guys say the same thing.
	What is this guy?
	He's good.
	They all say the same thing.
	He's really good.
	But why does he expect to win anything?
	What's going on?
	I think you nailed it.
	The guy is there as a foil.
	And he is really good.
	And he sticks it all the way in and rotates and right up through the throat with this one.
	And let me just finish one thing too, because this is super important as a topic.
	I think this is a civil libertarian issue of our time.
	Gretchen Whitmer's kidnapping.
	I want to be really clear on this, because it's the same issue in the same FBI, same even part of the FBI.
	Three people who are in an alleged plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer.
	We're acquitted at the end of trial because it was entrapment.
	That is, government agents put them up to do something they otherwise wouldn't have done.
	They gave them credit cards with spending limits of up to $5,000, encouraged them to buy munitions.
	Notice the control room has, they're like, look this up, look this up.
	What is he doing?
	It's a curveball.
	He's not talking about Trump.
	Look this up.
	I mean, we need something quick.
	Plan something they weren't otherwise willing to plan.
	So much so, and I want people at home to know this, especially CNN viewers to know this, is that one of the jurors went to those defendants and apologized afterwards, gave him a hug, apologized, seeing what the government...
	government had put a poor guy up to who had to go to some Mexican restaurant across the street to get hot water.
	These people were exploited with credit cards up to $5,000.
	FBI agents putting them up to a kidnapping plot that we were told was true but was entrapment.
	Same thing with the Capitol Police.
	People letting them in freely.
	Many of those people then being charged.
	The government cannot put you up to do something and then charge you for it.
	That's wrong.
	I don't want to have to spank you.
	I don't want to have to interrupt you.
	I really don't.
	I really don't.
	But I don't want you to mislead the audience here or at home.
	I'm not.
	They've been misled by the mainstream media.
	Guy's good.
	Guy's good.
	Yeah.
	Well, if we start to watch him with this in mind, I think we'll appreciate him more.
	Yeah.
	And it dawned on me too.
	I'm like, oh, okay.
	That makes sense.
	That's what he's there for.
	Totally.
	Totally.
	Yeah, and that's why Trump doesn't go to the debates.
	What's the point?
	What's the point?
	And it's, but it's, it's so interesting from a media perspective, which is what we do here.
	We deconstruct media, how the media is.
	I mean, he doesn't even have Twitter.
	Before he would do it on Twitter.
	And then, Oh, Trump tweeted something.
	And they talk about him incessantly all day long.
	And then not, and he does one thing on Hannity on his home turf network.
	They can't, Oh, Oh boy, he's gonna be a dictator.
	Starting on day one.
	Genius, genius move.
	do like a genius, genius move.
	And then he, I don't think anybody watches much of the, the, the evening talk shows.
	I mean, we know the only talk show that people watch these days is the one I don't like.
	You like it, which is Gutfeld.
	I just don't like it.
	It took me a long time.
	I don't like Timp.
	I don't like Brutus.
	You don't like Timp.
	You don't like the big Russell.
	No.
	I don't like it.
	You should watch it just for the occasional appearance of Emily Campagno.
	Yeah, she's good.
	They write for her.
	Yes, we discussed this.
	So here's Jimmy Kimmel Live giving a full minute and a half to Trump.
	I mean, if they really are operatives, they're doing a bad job.
	I think your podcasting buddy nailed it.
	Yes.
	But this is, I mean, this, Trump's writing material for them, and they're like, oh, this is funny, let's use this material.
	I mean, how can you, do you really hate Trump, Kimmel?
	Seems like you want him to win.
	While Biden and Zelensky were busy trying to sell Congress on funding for Ukraine, our former president is looking for some funding too.
	Hi everyone, this is your favorite president, Donald J. Trump, with some very exciting news.
	My last two Trump Digital Trading Card collections sold out in just hours.
	And now I'm back with my latest series called the Mugshot Edition.
	I wonder where that came from.
	Brilliant!
	Come on, this is brilliant!
	He had the stupid playing cards, now he's got the mugshot edition.
	But wait, there's more.
	Seven all-new stunning cards, and here is the best part.
	For the first time, we're creating a real physical trump card.
	Purchase 47 digital cards, and we'll mail you a beautiful trading card.
	It is an authentic piece of the suit I wore when I took that now-famous mugshot, and it was a great suit.
	Believe me, a really good suit.
	I mean, this is genius.
	Yes.
	the He cut up the suit and he's giving people pieces of the suit when they buy all 47.
	I mean, this is classic direct marketing, classic comedy, and these idiots are just, oh, let's play this, let's make fun of him.
	This is beautiful!
	So we're all cut up, and you're gonna get a piece of it.
	What a deal!
	Wow, that's... These cards... So the cards cost $99 each.
	If you buy them all, all 47 of them, for the low, low price of $4,653 plus tax, you will get a postage stamp-sized piece of the suit he wore on the day he was arrested for the fourth time.
	And he's calling it the most historically significant artifact in United States history.
	Isn't that something?
	There are only 13 original copies of the Constitution and only who knows how many fabric swatches from a triple XL fat guy suit.
	Some people call these cards pop art or modern art.
	I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards and I can tell you they Give me muscles where, believe me, I don't have them.
	Yeah, we believe you.
	What is going on?
	I mean, our former president, this genius just reinvented garbage pail kids.
	So don't miss out.
	Go to collecttrumpcards.com.
	Go right now and collect your own exclusive piece of American history and we'll all have fun together.
	Have a good life.
	Oh, I missed him.
	In that regard, I really missed him.
	Oh, man.
	That's genius.
	Stupid morons.
	It's too crazy to be AI.
	Oh, no, it's not.
	It's not AI.
	It's the real deal.
	That's him.
	That is him.
	It's so good.
	Have you seen the, changing the topic, have you seen the Channel One AI promotion?
	Yeah, I saw.
	Like, horrible.
	I didn't think it was horrible at all.
	I have the first minute of it clipped here just to play.
	What's it under?
	Oh, Channel 1?
	Well, it doesn't really work just audio.
	You have to see the wooden movements of the news models.
	Hello, and welcome to Channel 1, a new way of consuming, reporting, and thinking about the news, powered by artificial intelligence.
	Today, you'll witness AI-generated stories and headlines, captivating visuals and data-driven insights.
	From global news, to finance, to entertainment, we'll show you how technology enables us to bring you a global perspective, 24-7, right from the heart of our AI-native newsroom.
	All presented by our team of AI-generated reporters.
	Maybe you hear the words artificial intelligence and you're immediately skeptical or concerned about technology gone crazy.
	But everything you'll see on Channel One relies on trusted sources.
	Hold on.
	Back it up a little bit.
	And now answer me this.
	Why are there phones ringing in the background?
	Well, because AI determined that's what you need to make it sound authentic.
	I'm missing the teletype.
	Yeah, teletype would probably be better.
	You know what?
	Hello!
	Welcome to AI News!
	Brought to you by No Agenda Show!
	This is great!
	Boy, look at my arms!
	I'm not robotic at all!
	Huh?
	You can mock this like that, but in fact, people should go, I just tell it, you can listen to Adam or you can listen to me.
	Channel one dot AI is the website and watch this.
	I don't think it's half bad.
	I think it's as good as the actual network news.
	Then they actually have a sample news show.
	And in fact, on that show, which they has real news on it, even though some of it's dated, there's a dated piece of news, which I was even unaware of that, you know, when they went to the asteroid and grab some asteroid rocks.
	With that 10-year mission or however long it took to get there, that the thing never closed, the grabber never closed completely and rocks were being left all over the space on the way back?
	John, I am very happy this exists because when you get tired of me, I can continue the show with my AI Dvorak.
	You probably could.
	No one will know the difference.
	Well, they'll know the difference because there's no way that it can be funny.
	I will just, you know, you can sit at home and collect checks.
	What are you waiting for?
	Seriously.
	Comic strip blogger, can you please create a JCD AI?
	You know what?
	Let's just start with one show a week.
	See if you can do a whole show.
	You take one show a week off and then it'll be fine.
	It's going to be so good.
	Because AI is, obviously, it's not that bad.
	I'm telling you, people, don't listen to him.
	Listen to me.
	Go to channel one dot AI, which is the website.
	I'm telling you, this is as good as CBS or any of these.
	Local news has still got charm.
	No.
	Because it's sloppier.
	No, no.
	Naked news, that still has charm.
	Well, you know, naked news is probably still the best.
	It's by far the best.
	But you gotta pay for it now.
	Don't you have to do some payroll?
	Who cares?
	It's worth it.
	Yeah, it's fine.
	Everybody can go listen to A.I.
	And by the way, Channel One could be Channel One naked.
	They could do a naked news with it because they can't seem to find, they can't do people that don't have huge tits.
	So they could do naked news, but it'd be a giant breast version.
	Yeah, I'd watch that.
	Sure, sure.
	And some, I was talking to JC who's involved in A.I.
	He says that, I don't know if I mentioned this on the show before, but Because there's so many large-breasted women in the porn field where they're getting a lot of their samples from, the AI guys can't really make women with normal-sized breasts.
	Yet.
	This whole, I mean, this is it.
	This is the business model of AI.
	This is it.
	Congratulations.
	We've got big boob newsreaders.
	Herky-jerky, non-flowing, not funny.
	It's not herky-jerky.
	That's where you think you're wrong.
	I watched it.
	I watched the whole, like, what is it?
	11 minutes.
	It's boring.
	It's boring.
	The guy who comes in second, he keeps doing the same hand gestures.
	Oh, the hand gestures.
	I'm not going to argue the hand gestures.
	It's bad.
	Because the guy's doing meaningless hand gestures that don't make any sense at all.
	But this is just the beginning.
	Fine-tuning this thing will result in people that are terrific looking and better than the real deal.
	I agree!
	AI is great!
	It's gonna rock everybody!
	I'm Zippy!
	Tune in to my show!
	Fight it!
	Go ahead, fight it!
	Mock it!
	I'm mocking it!
	I'm mocking it!
	I am!
	I'm mocking it!
	Because... Yeah, you are!
	Because, you know, there will be a section of the public That is all in on this, and it won't be any cheaper.
	It won't be any cheaper for news organizations to have to build this stuff.
	They won't have to pay Nora $12 to $14 million a year.
	You know what?
	Then I will start my own news channel and I'll hire Nora.
	Then it'll be better.
	People want human beings.
	That's just the fact, except for the NPCs.
	I mean, there's a sake, but those people are not worth anything.
	The people who are enamored by this type of entertainment are not worth anything to advertisers.
	They're just worthless people.
	You're harsh.
	I told you, earlier in the show I said you were a hater.
	I'm an AI hater, yes, because I think this is bullcrap.
	I think there's no business model.
	This is little sparkly bits that are dangling in front of us.
	Where's the channel, alright?
	Where's the channel?
	There's no actual channel one that is going to do this.
	Where is it?
	Where is it?
	It's coming.
	It's not.
	Admit it.
	It's not coming.
	It's not.
	There we have the cast and crew.
	Vivek will be in London or Paris before we have a full news channel of AI news models that people actually want.
	They can't.
	I'm not saying that's not a pod.
	That's only six months or a year away.
	Oh God.
	It may take a couple of years.
	Oh God.
	People, just go yourself and make your own determination.
	Channel1.ai and check it out.
	Alright.
	Well, the minute that launches, I'm AI-ing you.
	And then that's it.
	And then you can take off.
	I won't be working with you.
	I'll be working with your AI agent.
	And I'll send you checks.
	I'll send you checks.
	No problem.
	And I'll send you checks.
	I'll still make half the money.
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, I'll send you checks.
	No problem.
	No problem.
	No, you don't.
	I'll keep standing.
	I'll stay on the side of the market.
	You'll be sitting at home going like, oh, man, I'd be funnier than that stupid computer.
	No, man, he missed a great opportunity.
	There's a softball that just swung and missed that.
	Speaking of AI... Yo, the European Union passed the most comprehensive and best... I mean, listen to this guy.
	No, no programmer would ever make this guy an AI because they make him too professional.
	I want to hear like a wispy, lispy, quasi-gay guy from time to time.
	Quasi?
	It makes me happy to listen to a human who is different!
	Yo, the European Union passed the most comprehensive and ambitious regulations on artificial intelligence.
	They are the first major government to ever pass such legislations.
	And the different ways that they're looking at how to monitor artificial intelligence are all the way from hiring practices, from the court system to self-driving autonomous cars.
	There's so much things that are comprehensive.
	And what's interesting about that is that they're so far ahead of the United States government.
	This, by the way, is Good Morning America.
	And you think about the dangers, but let's talk about the good things when it comes to A.I.
	Yeah, people look at A.I.
	for so many different reasons.
	Either the glass is half-full or the glass is half-empty.
	Yeah, there's no glass!
	I like to look at it from the glass's half-full.
	I know, Ivo, we love football, as well too as DeMarco, but even look at this weekend's football in the way that artificial intelligence is being used.
	It's called NFL Next Gen Stats, and it's powered by AWS, which is the Amazon Web Services.
	And what they're doing is they're looking at pressure probability.
	What does that even mean?
	That basically means now coaches and general managers, they can assess how quickly a quarterback may be sacked based upon the data on the defensive linemen.
	But they can also too assess, based upon the offensive linemen, how well do they do in protecting the quarterback over a historical period of data that is presented.
	Look, even the things that we love, Eva and DeMarco, when it comes to football, artificial intelligence is helping us call the game, play by play, it's making it more interactive.
	But also too, Eva, it has to be critiqued, right?
	And we have to make sure guardrails are in place.
	But we have the power, as Americans, to put that into the driver's seat by challenging our elected officials to look at the holistic point of view of artificial intelligence.
	And I think that is what's so important.
	It's not just one thing, it's good and bad.
	Now, my, you know, my algorithms could replace this guy's intelligence, but yeah, perfect.
	So, okay, that's algorithm.
	Everything is AI these days, everything.
	We got an email from, I'm not going to read it, but we got an email from a guy who works at a big trading firm.
	He says, hey man, you said there's no business model.
	We got a business model and we have to pay $150,000 a year for AI in our company.
	I'm like, oh, this is interesting.
	So, are you making $150 billion a year with your AI trading?
	Well, no!
	We have an HR database.
	You can look up HR stuff.
	We filled it all up and we can query the database.
	The AI gives us answers with the chatbot.
	Puh-lease!
	AI winter coming.
	AI winter coming.
	Peak AI.
	No, peak AI to AI winter.
	You know what?
	It's going to be, they're going to pivot, to coin a phrase, they're going to pivot to quantum computing.
	No, they're not.
	Yeah, they are.
	That doesn't work.
	They need a new thing that sucks up cycles so Nvidia can be even more powerful.
	The only thing that's changed from the late 80s is faster computers.
	It's the same dumb stuff.
	Symbols, tokens, it's all the same stuff as Lisp.
	Lisp?
	You like to get that gag in there.
	I do.
	Nobody gets it, by the way.
	A lot of Emacs guys are going, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Both of them that listen to the show.
	Yeah, man.
	Yeah.
	Emacs.
	Emacs, man.
	Screw VI.
	Emacs.
	You can do list programming.
	All right, let's switch to some more mainstream nonsense.
	We are desperately trying.
	We are using everything we can.
	We're using every single advertising and native ad dollar we have.
	We need to make sure that we get GLP-1 drugs into Medicare.
	I don't care how we do it, we've got to get it in there.
	Oprah came out.
	Oprah is co-owner now of WW, which is the new name for Weight Watchers.
	We had the CEO of Weight Watchers on the last show, or the show before that, saying, we're sorry, we were wrong.
	Oh no, it's not about food.
	It's not about portion control.
	You have a disease.
	You have a sickness.
	Oh no, but you still need to use us because we bought a company that will telemedicine subscribe you all of these wonderful drugs and will help you manage it.
	Will help you manage it.
	That's the end of them.
	So Oprah did a big, a big article, a big interview exclusive.
	Have you seen?
	You know why?
	Because she needs more money.
	Have you seen her?
	I mean, she looks phenomenal.
	Oprah defends her use of weight loss medication.
	Obesity is a disease!
	Because she's a doctor.
	And all the doctors are in on this.
	I don't really know one that has said it outright like that.
	They're a little too chicken, I think, to say it.
	But Oprah says obesity is a disease.
	It's not about willpower.
	It's about the brain.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	And now we've got to get it into kids and we need it on Medicare.
	Let's go to America's most trusted doctor.
	Back now with America's favorite doctor.
	There's a new study out there that suggests that popular weight loss drugs may be safe during pregnancy.
	But for now, a warning label is cautioned against use during pregnancy and conception.
	So what do we do today?
	Yeah, so another week, another day, another headline with these GLP-1 agonists like WeGoV, Ozempic, Manjaro.
	This latest study published in JAMA Internal Medicine really looking retrospectively at pregnant women who were on diabetes medication and how their pregnancies went, whether there were any risks to the fetus and the offspring.
	We're still in the infancy, pardon the pun, in terms of this because right now these drugs like Ozempic are not recommended for women to take during pregnancy.
	But we always have to err on the side of caution when you're talking about what can and cannot be taken during pregnancy.
	But big picture here, we know that hyperglycemia, which is elevated blood glucose levels during pregnancy, really not good for the fetus in addition to the pregnant woman.
	We know that certain medications given to people with diabetes...
	I'm sorry, Dr. Jen, it's pregnant people.
	...fetus in addition to the pregnant woman.
	We know that certain medications given to people with diabetes are okay during pregnancy.
	Insulin, the sulfonamides, we have good data and track record on that.
	But again, when you talk about risk-benefit, which you guys have heard me say many, many times, we know that there are real risks to a woman who's overweight or obese.
	Yes.
	Or diabetic during pregnancy.
	Yes.
	Risks to her, risks to the fetus.
	So I think we're going to see a lot more research with this class of medication that's just stimulated and triggered by the popularity and use of them.
	So this data that you're looking at now, this is just because people were taking it and then they discovered they were pregnant?
	Correct.
	Correct.
	She's such a good scientist.
	No, I'm just so fascinated by how many people are using it.
	And that's actually how we back into a lot of data when people are on the medication and then, you know, we follow them for another reason.
	Really interesting.
	Very interesting.
	Okay, but you know, we really need to get it into the children.
	I mean, we're trying to get into the fetus.
	It was so successful with COVID.
	The COVID vaccines were great for feet high.
	Let's go to Dr. Salim.
	Doctors and parents, too, in the U.S.
	are now being urged to take an aggressive new approach against childhood obesity.
	It's a problem that affects nearly one in five children and teens in this country, and the U.S.
	Preventative Task Force He's now saying that doctors need to intervene starting with kids as young as the age of six.
	Dr. Selene Gounder is here to tell us what parents need to know.
	Dr. Gounder, thank you very much for being here.
	I understand intensive counseling is the idea here.
	What is it?
	How soon should it start?
	Now this is weird because they start with this whole counseling.
	I was trying to figure this out.
	What are you talking about?
	It's a disease.
	Oprah said so.
	What is this counseling bit about?
	So we're talking about a minimum of 26 hours per year.
	So if you break that down, that comes down to say half an hour per week or an hour per week of meeting with specialists on a consistent basis.
	So that could be everyone from a dietician to a physical therapist or trainer to a mental health specialist to really address what are the issues that are driving the obesity.
	Wait a minute.
	Obesity is an illness.
	I do not understand.
	And it started to dawn as this went a little further, as they brought out the racial profiling.
	I don't want to be negative.
	I'm sure any number of hours would help.
	But if you're living all of your hours in a world where you became obese, what are 26 hours going to do to change the equation?
	Well, this is a really important point because a lot of what is driving this is, one, the culture of the community, the culture of the family, how they eat, so it's not just about addressing... When they say culture, that's code for black.
	The child.
	You also need to have an environment where you have access to healthy food.
	In many communities, it might be the dollar store where they have to shop, particularly in parts of the South.
	And then are there safe places where kids can actually play and exercise?
	In many communities, that may not be the case.
	communities culture they're going after poor people and particularly poor black people because they want it on medicare the american academy of pediatrics also released guidelines saying that 12 years old or older is a suggested age for weight loss drugs and even surgery i mean on the surface this sounds kind of shocking but but what is the rationale is Is it because of the long-term health effects that curbing obesity could create?
	Well, this is an important point.
	The U.S.
	Preventive Services Task Force, they are not recommending surgery and weight loss medications.
	They're just recommending the behavioral interventions.
	And I think the discrepancy in some of the debate in the medical community is that we are seeing people getting more and more obese, adults and children.
	We're seeing obesity start at a younger and younger age, and there's this desperation to do something.
	Now, whether it's safe to be giving weight loss drugs to kids, you know, that really remains to be seen, and they're only approved for people 12 and up right now.
	Oh, 12 and up!
	This is a good start!
	If people are curious about that, is insurance covering weight loss drugs for children?
	They can start covering starting at the age of 12, but many of the private insurance companies are being very restrictive about coverage.
	Okay.
	So it's not enough to be obese very often to get covered.
	They're pretty expensive, right?
	They're very expensive drugs.
	And then if you're on Medicaid, and most people don't realize this, the majority of kids in this country are on Medicaid, never mind lower-income communities.
	And state Medicaid programs really cannot afford to be covering these for all kids.
	I can almost read the material she was given.
	It's just like the movies, where here comes the representative, okay, you know, we're really, this is very important because, you know, kids need access to this.
	Do you know how many children, most children in America are on Medicaid because they're poor?
	They're poor.
	And, you know, black kids, they're more prone to diabetes because You know, they live in, all they got is Dollar General, they have McDonald's, I mean, come on!
	Low-income families and communities are hardest hit by this obesity epidemic.
	How do these interventions work in those worlds?
	Well, it's really hard.
	You can say to somebody, portion control, and here's how to read food labels, and this is what you should be eating.
	You know, stick to fresh foods, not packaged foods.
	But if you can't even buy that, or if it's not affordable to you.
	You don't have access to it.
	You don't have time.
	Right, you don't have time.
	You know, these are not realistic.
	Education, because all of these habits are passed down generationally.
	Generationally!
	Right, exactly.
	It's the culture of the family, it's the culture of the community, and that's hard to change.
	Dr. Brower, thank you so much.
	It's really fascinating.
	You can just wait for it.
	It's coming, it's coming, it's coming.
	This is the entire push.
	By the way, you guys on DH Unplugged, you were talking about the new McDonald's concept.
	McCosmic, I think is what it's called.
	I think that McCosmic is genius.
	I think they've launched it at exactly the right time.
	Because it is like a crack house for crack addicts.
	And it's drive-thru.
	Because it's sugar bombs, it's got colors, it's got crazy names, it's highly TikTokable, and you don't have to worry about it because you just go get a shot.
	You just go get a shot.
	You just go get a shot now.
	I think we indicated this.
	I don't think we thought it was genius by any means.
	I think McDonald's for the win.
	If I was an investing man, I'd invest in McDonald's.
	Not advice.
	Now, we do have a little problem.
	We have a little bit of a problem because this is just GLP-1 stuff.
	As you know, this is generic.
	You don't necessarily need the Ozempic-Wagobi brands.
	You can get it at your pharmacy.
	You can have a compound.
	This is a problem.
	So, Sanjay, Sanjay, yeah, we want you to do a report.
	We're going to give you the exclusive.
	But we're going to have, Dr. Jen's going to roll it out too, so you might as well roll it out first, Sanjay.
	Poison control centers across the country, they're seeing a 1,500% increase in people accidentally overdosing on injected weight loss drugs.
	1,500%.
	CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now.
	Wait, wait, wait!
	Are there real numbers here?
	Because 1,500% means you can go from 1 to 2 is like 1,000% or 100%.
	Well, 1 to 15, I mean, you know, it's never been reported before.
	Just the percentage number is useless.
	We need numbers.
	Do they give them?
	Never mind, I'm sure they give them.
	Yes, they do actually.
	2% of the American public is taking these drugs.
	Two percent of the American public is taking these drugs.
	And they're self-injecting?
	Listen to the report.
	Sanjay is rolling it out.
	He's got the exclusive.
	Poison.
	People accidentally overdosing on injected weight loss drugs.
	Fifteen hundred percent.
	CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins us now.
	Sanjay, are these all connected?
	Why is this happening?
	This is kind of amazing.
	If you look at just the number of prescriptions that have gone out there, it's skyrocketed.
	These drugs have only been around a few years now, but just take a look at sort of what's happened over the past few years.
	Close to 2% of the population of this country has been prescribed this medication at some point.
	That's shocking.
	I mean, these are huge.
	And obviously, even around the world, this is prescribed a lot.
	As you prescribe more and more, you're not surprised to get more and more sort of accidental poisonings, overdoses, things like that.
	But I want to show you something else that I think is important here.
	You started to see the numbers go up.
	In March of 2022, all the shortages started happening.
	And what happened as a result?
	Pharmacies came in and they started making their own.
	They started making their own compounded sort of versions of this that were not tested for safety and efficacy.
	And you started to see the poisoning rates go up at that point as well.
	So that may be part of this.
	Don't take that stuff!
	You might die!
	Don't take the stuff from your pharmacy!
	It's poison!
	It's unbelievable.
	Well, there's been a war against compounding pharmacies for as long as we've been doing this show.
	Yes.
	But this is clearly and squarely targeting, you know, any alternative to... Yeah, to the high proof.
	A thousand dollars compared to 20, let's say.
	Something like that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	People turn off.
	And what is, by the way, do they describe in this crappy report the symptoms of overdosing on these things?
	Yes, I didn't.
	I didn't cut that.
	But yeah, we'll just say what it was.
	Oh, literally puking, diarrhea, pain in your gut.
	To me, that's all the features of the stuff.
	The poisoning is the same as the actual results of taking it.
	In general.
	Yeah, it was stupid.
	And then it's like, well, you know, the half-life of this stuff is two weeks, so, you know, if you OD on it, you can't just stop.
	It's not like you're gonna stop puking.
	You'd be puking for weeks.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	I'm going to change topics again.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Let's start.
	So I'm watching the interview with, and this is one of those like mini deconstructions, with Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.
	Oh, I actually, I texted with him about this.
	So you texted who?
	Alex.
	What did he say?
	No, I texted him.
	I said, you did a great job on Tucker.
	And he said, I can tell you what he said.
	He said... Hold on, where is it?
	He said something like... Hold on, where am I?
	I just gotta look up my text.
	Alex.
	Yes, here it is.
	He said, the tide is turning across the spectrum.
	Well, that's interesting.
	So it did get him back on Twitter.
	I'm pretty sure that that triggered it because he made a big fuss about that.
	But I just caught a couple of things that I thought were interesting.
	And the first one, uh, is in clip one.
	It's very short.
	Uh, and I want to ask, I'll ask you about it because I sure was confused by it.
	Here we go.
	When you got deplatformed and to this day, no one has ever been more aggressively censored, I don't think, than you.
	Um, I've apologized to this in person before.
	I was in Labrador on a fishing trip and missed the entire thing.
	I was literally out of cell range.
	Yes.
	He says, I apologize to you.
	Yeah.
	Why is he apologizing?
	Did he do it?
	I mean I could say I had condolences maybe or I felt bad about it because this happened, could happen to anybody, but why is he apologizing specifically?
	I believe, having seen this interview, which I have heard a lot of people say, wow, you know, he was a lot more sane than I expected him to be.
	Oh, he's always good.
	Jones has always been good on these interviews.
	I think it's because Tucker says somewhere in this, like, no one came to your defense.
	No, that's the next clip.
	I've got that, too.
	That comes right after.
	Well, I think that's what it was about.
	Not that he was going to do it, per se, but he felt like he was out of the loop.
	He was literally out of cell range in Labrador fishing.
	Yeah, but at that point he needed to...
	What's the apology for?
	I don't know.
	Coming to your defense is one thing.
	I, you know.
	What are you?
	Apologizing for not coming to your defense.
	He would have said that.
	Hold on.
	Let me text Tucker.
	What the hell were you doing?
	Yeah, text Tucker.
	Go see what he has to say.
	Okay, here we go.
	The second part has got another little ditty in here, which is at the very end, which is like, I didn't know this was going on.
	I didn't know it happened, but I got back and I read about it.
	I felt like it was a major moment in the history of the American media.
	I don't think anybody defended you.
	When that happened.
	Anybody.
	With any kind of audience.
	When Tim Cook admitted that he met on the weekend in August of 2017 with the other big tech heads and they made the decision to curate like it's a museum and take me off.
	It was hundreds of platforms.
	I mean it wasn't just all the big ones it was everything from LinkedIn to our bank accounts being taken away to everything ensuing that week and over the next month.
	And I knew that I was a test case, and I wasn't taken off those platforms for any demonstrable reason.
	It was the questioning the school shooting thing that came later.
	They went and kind of dredged that up for my past, just questioning it a few times, blew that up after I'd been de-platformed, and said I was de-platformed for that.
	If you check the record, I wasn't.
	And so once they de-platformed me, it made the show in ways only get bigger with people actually going to mfullwars.com and finding me on local radio stations and things.
	So then they panicked and said, okay, let's look at his record and create more of a reason that he's being taken off.
	So they took things out of context from five, six years before, blew them up as a current thing out of context, and deceptively reported on what I'd said to create a straw man argument to then facilitate the reason What's so crazy is if you asked just a cross-section of Americans who's responsible for the Sandy Hook massacre of kids at the school, no one remembers the name of the murderer.
	Adam Lanza.
	Okay, thank you.
	I didn't remember.
	Alex Jones.
	They effectively blamed you for a school shooting that you were not present at.
	I have people come up to me in the parking lot.
	You can ask my security guy.
	He's been there.
	When people walk up and go, why'd you kill those kids?
	And then you go, I didn't kill those kids.
	And they go, yeah, you did.
	And so, that is what this has turned into.
	Okay.
	I find it very peculiar that the public at large is that dumb to think that Alex Jones killed the kids at Sandy Hook.
	And I believe this is probably telling the truth.
	And his security guard is in the studio with him, by the way.
	I think it's true as well.
	I think it's true as well.
	Yes, people are very, you know, remember, just like Vivek, they're sitting at home reading People Magazine, reading Oprah.
	Oh, Oprah's on this shot, I should get on it with my fat ass, this is good.
	Alex Jones, well, I'll give an example of why people believe this kind of, why they believe that stuff.
	And I have some thoughts about all this.
	This is Piers Morgan on Alex Jones being back on X. I'm a passionate defender of free speech.
	There's a massive clue in the name of the show, uncensored.
	And I believe in it.
	I believe that all honestly held opinions, however offensive they are, belong in the open, where they can be challenged, debated, and exposed.
	But there are limits on free speech.
	There are laws.
	And there is a line.
	I love that!
	I believe in free speech, but there's a line!
	I've always said that Alex Jones is a perfect example of where that line got crossed.
	He's a conspiracy theorist and shock jock in America who made hundreds of millions of dollars by peddling outrageous lies at the Sandy Hook school massacre shooting.
	It was a hoax.
	For the uninitiated, this is him shouting at me a week after that massacre on CNN.
	The tyrants did it.
	Hitler took the guns.
	Stalin took the guns.
	Mao took the guns.
	Fidel Castro took the guns.
	Hugo Chavez took the guns.
	And I'm here to tell you, 1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms.
	It doesn't matter how many lemmings you get out there on the street begging for them to have their guns taken.
	We will not relinquish them.
	Do you understand?
	He kind of won that debate, actually, because the only response in America to the Sandy Hook massacre was to do nothing.
	In fact, they continue to sell a lot more guns.
	A million new guns get sold in America every month, and there are already over 400 million in circulation.
	So if you're wondering, if you're curious why there are so many more mass shootings in America than there used to be, that's why.
	And if you're wondering what's going to happen, In the next few years, as a million new guns enter circulation and nothing gets done to stop mass shootings, my guess is there'll be a lot more mass shootings.
	So there you go.
	So Piers Morgan makes it about Alex Jones equals mass shootings in America.
	This is because of this.
	By the way, Piers Morgan, I believe the guy who was partially if not fully responsible for spying on dead people's phones and getting their voicemails and publishing them, He's a horrible man.
	But there's something else going on here.
	And you know, I don't like Elon Musk.
	I don't trust him.
	I think he's full of crap.
	He's not an inventor.
	He's a marketing guy, a very good one.
	He's part of a cabal with Rulof Bota, who is now the CEO of Sequoia Capital.
	I've seen these guys in action.
	I was at the launch of the very first Tesla Roadster when he bought it.
	I went there with Ray Lane.
	The whole thing is creepy AF.
	And he now, he single-handedly launched the bullcrap electrified revolution.
	And I don't care how cool the Cybertruck is engineered, it's not a good thing for the world.
	He has effectively Skynet.
	You know, we all joke about, oh, Skynet.
	He has Skynet.
	He has a company that will bore tunnels for the elites to escape through.
	He has the next generation of jacking into your brain with neural net.
	In any other world where he was free speech, this guy would be no good.
	But we're all enamored with him.
	Tony Stark, the whole thing.
	It's beautiful marketing.
	It's perfect.
	So then he does this thing.
	It's set up by, of all people, Laura Loomer actually was a part of this.
	They set up these spaces, and that's where Alex Jones was reintroduced to X. And Elon Musk, I didn't clip any of this, believe me, he comes out with this whole thing.
	Well, I went back in the Twitter records, and the reason you were banned was not for anything you said about Sandy Hook.
	The reason you were banned is because you assaulted Oliver Darcy.
	You assaulted a journalist, and that's why you were banned.
	And then he goes into this whole thing, and Musk is, I mean, the whole thing is full of crap, and all these people start to jump in.
	What I call the info mavericks.
	Or maybe we should call them the truth warriors.
	Laura Loomer up front, who kept trying to jump in.
	Yeah, Alex, when you and I were there, we said that we got right in Jack Dorsey's face!
	And so they start cutting Laura Loomer off, because she's annoying!
	Laura Loomer is annoying.
	And she keeps jumping in, and they were cutting her off, and then she all leaves in a huff.
	And they bring in all these other people.
	There's the guy who's in Hungary, whatever, whatever, what's his name?
	Tate.
	He comes in, and then Vivek jumps in, and all these people are all jumping in.
	This is the new mainstream media, and Elon Musk is in charge of this.
	He is the hero.
	Beware of false idols.
	Beware of false idols.
	Here's a Jake Tapper on what happened here.
	Let me see, do I want this one?
	No, I don't want that one.
	I'll get this one.
	Since Alex Jones' account has been restored, now it's not just up there, it's actively being promoted across the platform.
	That's right, Jake, yeah.
	Alex Jones, it looks like he's actually grown his audience by about 100,000 followers, just being since put back on the platform.
	Our colleague Claire Duffy reporting that people have opened up X, the Twitter app today.
	Even if they haven't followed Jones, a lot of people have been saying that in the algorithmic feed that promotes accounts, suggesting to people that they should follow Jones's account.
	That is, of course, Five years after he was initially kicked off the platform.
	And really, you know, I think this is just so illustrative of what we are seeing happen with X, but also with Elon Musk as he kind of journeys very publicly down this rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.
	Jake?
	So, this is a launch by Elon Musk.
	It's a launch.
	And he's launching something really big, and I think we have to be very careful.
	I mean, Alex is Alex, and he's a sweetheart.
	He was dropped on his head as baby.
	That's actually true.
	So he does have some brain damage, he'd be the first to tell you that.
	But he's basically a sweetheart and he's more right than he's wrong in many things.
	I don't think he's part of any gatekeeping community but Elon Musk is and he's building up a whole bunch of people around him and they're willing participants, they're all, I mean it's it's Megyn Kelly, it's Bongino, it's all these people and they're distracting everybody into this Audiovisual Twitter world of like Tim Pool stuff.
	It's it's creepy.
	Yeah, he's he's not he didn't just out bring this the account back He's playing a role in elevating Alex Jones account last night.
	He hosted this X livestream interview with him and and a whole bunch of other Questionable folks were joining him.
	Andrew Tate, this misogynistic internet personality who was indicted on human trafficking and rape charges in Romania earlier this year.
	And to be completely frank, Tony, Tate wasn't even the worst dude in that conversation.
	Why is Musk even engaging with these people?
	Yeah, and look, I think you showed there that tweet, as you pointed out, a very human tweet from Musk last year where he said, look, what Alex Jones said that was so false and disgusting about Sandy Hook that he would never get back on the platform because of that.
	You've now seen that over the past year.
	Musk, you know, kind of going further and further and further to the fringe, even up to a few weeks ago, agreeing with a anti-Semitic post, which he later tried to clarify and did a trip to Israel and things like that.
	But, you know, I've spent a lot of the past few years speaking to people who have gone down rabbit holes of radicalization and conspiracy theories and speaking to families who have loved ones.
	And it is quite reminiscent of that when you see that, but in this case, it is one of the most powerful and one of the wealthiest men in the world.
	And he's promoting these people.
	And I will just say that that audio stream you mentioned on last check, it had 11 million people, 11 million listeners.
	Now, of course, numbers online can be a little deceiving, but needless to say, millions of people now have access to this junk.
	Yes, people love the junk.
	I have a very bad feeling about this.
	I really do.
	This is a distraction that's being set up.
	It's like, follow the plan.
	Trust the plan.
	You know?
	A storm is coming.
	Which is what the Bolsheviks said all the time.
	So what was that message Jones said back to you again?
	He said, yeah, I want to get it verbatim.
	He said, the tide is turning across the spectrum.
	And now there is a tide is turning because things are starting to eat themselves, the wokeness in companies.
	I mean, stuff is coming out.
	Things are definitely changing, but I don't trust this group.
	I just, and Musk at the helm, and he's like, oh, I shall reinstate you.
	Bing!
	I will wave my magic fairy wand and you're back and good to go.
	I don't, and Tucker's also probably a part of this.
	And it's not like a secret society, but you know, what is Tucker doing?
	He's back with that Whistleblower on the UFOs.
	Oh boy.
	Yeah, I'm very... He went on Redacted, which please don't send me clips from Redacted.
	I'm not interested in Redacted.
	And Tucker did an interview on Redacted.
	Because we know Clayton and Natalie Morris.
	Yeah, personally.
	Yeah, personally I'm not impressed.
	What are they doing in Portugal?
	They're pros.
	They're pro-television people.
	You trained Natalie, so yeah, they're pros.
	I don't know about that.
	I do.
	I do.
	But Tucker goes on there and it's like, let me tell you, the thing I'm most worried about is UFOs.
	It's really, you know, the government's holding stuff back and... Dude, no.
	No.
	So I, I'm, I'm, this is, this is a weird moment in time.
	Well, Tucker's an issue too.
	Yes.
	What's your issue?
	What's your issue?
	I think Tucker's, you know, well, we always have to remember anyone who says they wanted to be a spy for the CIA probably is one.
	It's like a friend of mine, Gina Smith, who's been on television, she's been around.
	She told me about the whole thing where the CIA approached her while she was in college because she was in journalism.
	And she had laid out the whole thing about, can you work for us?
	You don't really, you're not really working for us, but we'll send you a check every so often, but we're going to have to call you because sometimes we need to make some, you know, this was recently.
	Yeah.
	We have to get a certain kind of a message out.
	We needed to be consolidated.
	They really said it like that?
	Pretty much.
	Wow.
	And she wasn't gonna be working for the agency, but she was gonna be in touch.
	How come I don't get that call?
	I never got the call.
	I got family in the CIA and I didn't get that call.
	Well, you yourself said that they don't, uh... You know what it is?
	They never liked the drugs.
	I think it was the drugs.
	They don't like drugs.
	They don't like drugs.
	That's like a key thing in your 24-7.
	They like drinkers.
	They like drinkers.
	Drinkers is good.
	So, uh, she went on and on about this, and, uh...
	And I always thought, OK, I'll remember that.
	And I was there, of course.
	I don't know what the criteria is.
	There's probably one specific.
	And I think Tucker's one of these guys.
	And I think the other one who wants to be in the CIA or wanted to be made a big fuss about it is Kara Swisher.
	And there's others.
	There's a bunch of them.
	Usually, the funny thing about this is it's always on the wiki page, which is, to me, a tell that's designed for people in the know to spot and say, oh, okay, we know what side you're on.
	I think it's put there on purpose.
	You know, we may get things wrong a lot, we may be full of crap, but I think, you know, we're more trustworthy than what's going on here.
	This is not good.
	This is not what Elon is doing, and the idolatry that is taking place around everything he does.
	Yeah, and Eli's neck deep in government contracts.
	That's all that he does.
	Okay, so, oh boy, we'll make your cars look bad for a moment here.
	Yeah, you know, we'll make a DEI problem out of your hiring practices at SpaceX.
	But not a single contract is cancelled.
	In fact, he's only sold more Starlink to military.
	And he doesn't really cop to it either.
	That's why he was in Israel, he was selling Starlink.
	Yeah, that's why he was there.
	It wasn't an apology tour.
	No, it was a sales call.
	It was a sales call.
	So then, when you get this question here, last clip.
	Yeah, we should also note, Jones' offenses are more than just the Sandy Hook campaign, which was vile enough in and of itself.
	But, you know, he had a lot of followers at the insurrection on January 6th who were charged with serious crimes.
	And one wonders...
	Is Elon Musk trying to chase normal people off X?
	Is he trying to chase advertisers away even more than he already has?
	Yeah, I mean, I think the conventional wisdom here would say, you know, this is going to push advertisers away.
	It certainly is going to be very interesting what major brands, like including the NFL, are going to do as this platform continues to seemingly descend.
	But let's not forget, there is a lot of money in bullshit.
	As well, right?
	I mean, we saw through the Alex Jones trial how he made a lot of money.
	And if you really tap into this world, along with Tucker Carlson and General Michael Flynn and others, people who are taking kind of part now in this new ex-community, that can potentially be quite lucrative.
	And potentially, that's the direction Musk wants to go.
	A lot of money and a lot of votes.
	A lot of votes?
	Hey, it's okay.
	That's a lot of vote.
	By the way, a code word, a left-wing code word to say I'm on a certain side of things is vile.
	Oh, is that a code word?
	Vile?
	Yeah, I've noticed it because I follow people and they use it all the time.
	Vile, vile, vile.
	Thank you.
	It's like a secret handshake.
	Well, you say vile.
	Well, you guys said bullshit on the air.
	That's new.
	That used to be a no-no.
	That's good.
	I like that.
	That used to be a no-no.
	Let me see.
	I had one other thing that I was meaning to play from... Oh, yes.
	So anyway, it stinks.
	The whole thing stinks.
	I'm sure that, you know, the whole idea is get as many people on X, believing in all, in all Elons.
	Flynn was also on that call.
	I mean, I hate to say it, but my neighbor, you know, she's another one of them.
	I'm just like, you know, let's all go crazy about this one particular thing, this one particular topic.
	Let's all focus on that today.
	That's what we're supposed to be looking at.
	And meanwhile, who's your neighbor?
	Laura Logan.
	And meanwhile, FISA just gets thrown into the NDAA, and we're all talking about Obama being racist.
	Do you see the pattern?
	That's what I'm seeing.
	I'm seeing, like, everyone talk about Obama's a racist, but meanwhile, it's like, oh, China, China, Korea, Iran, Iran, Iran, oh, we got bad, oh, we need, oh, space, oh, space, we need more money for space, for defense, and then, oh, by the way, no one's talking about the FISA.
	Being extended, renewed, right there in the bill.
	Except for Matt Gaetz on C-SPAN.
	Yeah, and everyone thinks he's nuts.
	He's a child molester.
	And who's out there calling him a horrible person?
	Laura Loomer.
	She's on Twitter going, Matt Gaetz, it's coming!
	You're gonna learn about him!
	This is what she's doing all day long.
	She's kind of like the ugly stepsister of this group.
	It's like, oh, we'll let her in because she has Alex's number, but she's annoying.
	Cut her off.
	Cut her off.
	Cut all of them off.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Change topics again.
	You want to hear the op?
	Want to hear the op?
	There's an op?
	There's an op.
	The op is moving to Harvard.
	If you're a Swifty, you'll probably like this course.
	If you're a fan of Taylor Swift and literature, you'll probably love it.
	You can learn a lot from Taylor Swift and earn credits for it this spring at Harvard.
	It's a literature course and it has a lot of songs and songwriting.
	The course is the brainchild of Harvard English professor Stephanie Bird.
	It's called Taylor Swift and Her World and will focus on the songwriter's lyrics and creative composition and how they're connected to other page-based poets and authors.
	William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge who wrote some of their poems in the Lake District which Taylor has visited and has a song about.
	The class is also a chance to study how Swift employs video, her social media, and stage presence, and even couture as vehicles for her art.
	News of the course is already blowing up social media.
	An estimated 300 students have already enrolled.
	I think it's really important to include popular music or culture into normal pedagogies to get students engaged.
	Pedagogy?
	I think that'd just be really fun.
	I think it would be really cool and to connect like different subjects to her music.
	At the end of the day, I mean, there's a reason people wanted to have a course on it.
	To have a discussion.
	I love that...
	I'm, you know, able to do this in a way that both gives people the chance to study and write about things they already love.
	Alright, he just stopped his clip.
	At Harvard, John!
	At Harvard!
	Yeah, that's where it belongs.
	Wow.
	Actually, there are better songs which are few and far between.
	She didn't even write, but okay.
	I have a wild fraud story from NTD that is worth playing.
	Okay, let's do it.
	A new poll shows one in five mail-in voters committed some kind of election fraud in 2020.
	Former President Trump is now commenting, suggesting this backs up his years-old claim of widespread fraud.
	NTD's Arianne Pastar spoke with the pollster.
	A new Heartland-Rasmussen poll found that 21% of mail-in voters admitted to filling out a ballot for somebody else in the 2020 presidential election.
	10% of all respondents said they know somebody who admitted to casting a mail-in ballot fraudulently.
	And 8% of likely voters said they've been offered a pay or something else for voting.
	Almost half of all 2020 votes were cast by mail, the most ever in U.S.
	history.
	Consider how close the 2020 election was.
	This is extremely troubling.
	Jim Lakeley is the vice president of the Heartland Institute, which conducted the poll.
	He said they expected that maybe 5% of mail-in voters would admit to some kind of voter fraud, and that they were shocked when they saw the number was over 20%.
	Former President Trump took to social media, commenting on the poll, writing, this is the biggest story of the year, and Republicans must do something about it.
	Now, Lakeley told me that some states did actually have reasonable safety measures in place when it comes to mail-in voting, but that those were abandoned during the COVID pandemic.
	He also says that people are now being discouraged from talking about potential voter fraud in the 2020 election, but that Americans, including Democrats, have routinely questioned election results in the past, for example, when George Bush won against John Kerry or Trump's 2016 win.
	Yet suddenly, in 2020, when everybody can see with their own eyes that our election system has been thrown into complete chaos, that is the only election in which it is not proper to question whether the results are legitimate.
	There was no suppressing of those sorts of ideas and thoughts for every other presidential election since the year 2000.
	Yeah, isn't it interesting that all we can talk about is Alex Jones back on X?
	Nobody's talking about this story.
	No, of course not.
	That's my point.
	Nobody.
	That's my point.
	Where's Megyn Kelly on this story?
	Where's Tucker on this story?
	Where are these people on this story?
	No.
	And where do I get it from?
	N.T.D.
	N.T.D.
	Of course.
	Nobody listens to them.
	This is N.T.D.
	Yes.
	I just found this to be like a wow story, and it was like, what?
	This is the most suppressed story, because it does bring into question, I mean, this whole mail-in balloting we know, and there's been reports, there's been studies in advance, I think goes way back into the 70s, that it was always considered a very bad idea, because it was so easily corruptible.
	Here they come up with some survey, shows it was corrupted, nobody wants to hear about it.
	Forget it.
	And Trump, by the way, saying, oh, the Republicans should do something about it, is a real laugher.
	Yeah, because they do it themselves.
	Because the Republicans hate him.
	No, but the point is, both Republicans and Democrats employ these tactics.
	They both cheat.
	They both cheat.
	Yeah, they have to.
	This coming election is going to be who's going to cheat the best.
	It's obvious.
	That's why there's no talk.
	Well, shh, shh, shh, shh.
	We've been doing this in Florida for a long time.
	Shh, shh, shh, shh.
	We don't want anyone to learn how we do it.
	California is worse than Florida.
	There's no question in my mind about that.
	By the way, this special prosecutor, Jack Smith, the guy who's going after Trump, Yeah, the Beelzebub looking guy.
	Yeah, well his background is starting to come up a little bit and the allegation is that while he was at the International Criminal Court he was part of like big campaigns with tens if not hundreds of millions of euros slash dollars With bribery money?
	Hey, you want me to not prosecute?
	You better send me 10 million dollars in Bitcoin.
	I love the Bitcoin part.
	There's a whistleblower, John Moynihan.
	He filed a complaint with the Department of Justice Inspector General's office on November 28th, alleging Jack Smith, special prosecutor pursuing Donald Trump, was engaged in an extortion scheme while he was working at the International Court of Justice.
	There's another story I haven't seen on CBS.
	That's a good story.
	I like these stories.
	We do get this story.
	This one's floating around even though I got it from, I think it's from NT.
	This is the Trump, twist on the Trump case.
	Turning now to some court actions.
	Former President Trump catches a break.
	U.S.
	District Judge Tanya Chutkan today halted all proceedings in his federal election case.
	Trump is appealing to have the case dismissed on grounds of presidential immunity.
	The decision could would potentially lead to a significant delay in all future proceedings.
	But Judge Chutkan said that it doesn't necessarily cancel the pre-trial deadlines.
	As of now, prosecutors are urging Chutkan to stay on track and keep the March 4th trial date in place.
	To speed things up, Special Counsel Jack Smith is hoping to skip the appeals court and instead let the Supreme Court hear the case.
	Despite the temporary pause, Chutkan noted that the gag order is still in effect.
	Yeah, this is, this is in the news.
	This, I have seen this.
	So... Yeah, it's hard to understand what's actually going on.
	Well, it seems like the Supreme Court will have some say over this, and I think the point is that the dates that Jack Smith wants in March, you know, to start all this, to make sure they put him behind bars before the election, that seems like those dates are in peril now, and so I guess the Supreme Court can just delay and delay and delay.
	Well, the Supreme Court, from their recent track record, isn't going to even take this thing.
	There's no evidence that they will.
	I mean, the way I've been watching the Supreme Court, it would go like this.
	Why didn't this go to an appeals court before it got to us?
	I'm not the expert, but we have an expert.
	Rob can probably tell us.
	Our Supreme Court attorney.
	Yes, well maybe he will.
	Maybe we'll get a note from him.
	I hope so.
	Before we take a break, I think, because we're running long here, I think we should talk about Ukraine and Zelensky coming in and trying to get some money.
	He was literally hanging out with defense contractors.
	There's pictures of him with the Boeing guys, the Raytheon guys.
	He's just doing sales for them.
	They're all like, hey, Vlad, good work.
	Come on, man.
	Get some credit.
	Get some credit.
	Well, let's start with this Ukraine hang-up Democracy Now!
	clip and see if this takes us anywhere.
	Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ended his high-stakes day in Washington, D.C.
	Tuesday with little progress in securing additional war funding.
	President Biden vowed the U.S.
	would support Ukraine, quote, as long as we can, unquote, and urged Congress to pass a spending request of over $100 billion, which also includes funding for Israel, Taiwan and further militarization of the U.S.
	border.
	Yeah, so that's just going to keep going.
	Wait, this is Amy.
	What is she talking about?
	Further, further militarization of our border.
	What does that mean?
	The border's wide open.
	There's no militarization of the border.
	Yeah, but this is Amy.
	Come on, this is what she does.
	We love Amy for that.
	We love her little quips.
	She's beautiful.
	She should be a professor at Harvard.
	She'd be perfect, actually.
	She should be an honorary adjunct professor.
	Actually, I'm surprised she's not.
	I have a little different take on it.
	I have only two clips.
	Because Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, running for his fifth term, he did his big show!
	The big show again!
	It was, he cancelled it last year, this is the TV show where he goes live for hours and hours and hours and just, and he's joking around, he's answering questions, he's got a whole panel there.
	Yeah, how does Trump?
	Oh, many times over.
	It's a great show, I mean I don't understand Russian of course, but luckily We have Douchebag Doug from France 24 and he's going to give us a little quick overview and then we'll get the Deutsche Welle version.
	But I love Douchebag Doug because he tries to do sarcasm.
	It's very dangerous when you do sarcasm because people take that seriously if you're, I don't know, not funny.
	Yeah, his position hasn't changed at all.
	If anything, after being cancelled last year, this has been his first annual marathon press conference since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
	If anything, he has a lot of strut in his step this year.
	Why?
	Because it comes at a crucial moment.
	It comes at a moment where Western support, Western military aid for Ukraine appears to be dwindling as Republicans, especially in the United States Congress, block a new aid package.
	This, in Putin's view, validates what he's been saying all along, that the West basically doesn't have the staying power, that it's weak and decadent, and ultimately that Putin and his forces, his army, will outlast the Western so-called resolve, the as-long-as-it-takes resolve, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine.
	He's reiterated that.
	And his objectives, when I say nothing's changed in his position, yes, it was cancelled last year, this press conference, right?
	This was the first time after a one-year hiatus it was being held again.
	But what he said is, our objectives, there won't be peace until we achieve our objectives.
	What are those objectives?
	He was very clear.
	In regards to Ukraine, it's denazification, going back to what has become the staple of the false Kremlin narrative, that somehow they're a neo-Nazi junta running Ukraine.
	denazification, a word that we haven't heard as much lately, but he's rehashed it this year in full force at this press conference.
	Demilitarization of Ukraine.
	Remember, it's not Russia that's been the aggressor here and attacked Ukraine and invaded Ukraine.
	No, no, no.
	It's Ukraine in the West at the US and NATO's behest that invaded, that basically attacked Russia and also returning Ukraine to neutral status.
	He is unbending, unbowed.
	He says he's always open for talks, but he's only going to talk if the West is also willing to play ball and talk.
	I mean, he makes it sound like Ukraine attacked Russia.
	You know, this guy's no good.
	Doug needs a new gig.
	So he pontificates about what Putin's saying.
	Deutsche Welle, they took it a lot more straight and it was a little more nuanced.
	Vladimir Putin has said Russia's goals in Ukraine remain unchanged as he holds his end-of-year press conference in Moscow.
	The Russian president is taking questions from the public and journalists in an event that is being broadcast live on Russian state television.
	And it's expected to last for hours.
	Putin, who is running for re-election in March, cancelled last year's show and made Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
	We'll be analyzing what the Russian president has said so far in just a moment.
	But first, let's have a listen to some of what he's had to say.
	So now they're going live and they're translating live in real time the true Translation of what Putin said, and you just heard Doug pontificate on it.
	There will be peace when we achieve our goals.
	Now, let's get back to these goals.
	They don't change.
	Let me remind you of what we talked about, about the denazification of Ukraine, about demilitarization.
	Sounds a lot more nuanced.
	neutral status.
	Yeah.
	We will agree on demilitarization and agree on certain parameters.
	During the negotiations in Istanbul, we agreed on them.
	But then they simply threw these agreements into the oven.
	There are other possibilities, either to reach an agreement or to resolve it by force.
	This is what we will strive for.
	Sounds a lot more nuanced.
	Yeah.
	And demilitarize, you know what that means, a demilitarized zone.
	Well, French 24 doesn't like Putin at all.
	And we're getting Deutsche Welle, which we think is agent of the CIA, is probably part of the system to try to stop this thing.
	It has to stop.
	Again, bad product.
	War is not a good product.
	And our defense guys got their money.
	No, they want more.
	Yeah, well, they can always want more.
	They're getting their $886 billion worth.
	What a scam!
	How are your potholes?
	Still there, a lot of them.
	Well, they patch them once in a while, but I can still find places where there's just tons of them.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
	Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the Chinese cyber actors.
	Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore!
	Well, and a morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	And a morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, steps in the water, and all the games and nights out there.
	Man, it doesn't look good in the troll room.
	That's not funny.
	No, no, no, no.
	We have, uh, oh, goodness.
	1658.
	Down.
	We're down.
	We're dying here.
	We're dying on the vine!
	It should be 1800 on Thursday.
	Well, it's not.
	200 trolls.
	I think we drove them away.
	It was the Taylor Swift clip.
	I'm sure of it.
	That would have done it.
	I apologize.
	I didn't mean to do it.
	Hey, Trolls, good to have you here.
	You can become one as well.
	Go to trollroom.io.
	You can listen live.
	No agenda stream is what's playing there.
	Yes?
	Hey, I didn't hear it today.
	I didn't hear the pre-show, but I understand that Darren went nuts over Taylor Swift.
	He did a whole show.
	Oh, he did a Taylor Swift, Def Leppard mix.
	Yeah, he's right.
	I know.
	I don't know what's wrong with him.
	Well, I do, but I don't know what's gotten into him.
	We all know what's wrong with Darren.
	And that is what you can listen to before we start live.
	We do the show live on Thursdays and Sundays.
	You can listen to the Rock and Roll Pre-Show before that.
	That is the illustrious Darren O'Neill, who, by the way, was talking about all that stuff on Tuesday.
	He was talking about the mailing ballots.
	He broke that news.
	He has a show with Sir Gene.
	I guess the 50 listeners are all the way up on that.
	They have more than that.
	Don't be like that.
	I'm just kidding.
	I kid, I kid.
	He plays all this stuff and he makes fun of you throughout the whole show now.
	You've become the show.
	I wouldn't blame him.
	If I was him I'd do the same thing.
	It's a defensive major.
	We also recommend that you get a modern podcast app.
	Man, if you're looking for something that's great on your iPhone, I'm sorry to hear that you have an iPhone, Castamatic.
	If you're looking for a great experience on the web, Podfans.
	I'm liking Podcast Guru right now.
	Fountain is completely refactored.
	They finally released version 1.
	I mean, there's a lot of activity going on.
	The best thing about these apps, besides the fact that you get notified when we go live, you get notified within 90 seconds of us updating the show.
	You can't get that with any other old legacy app.
	You want to have the new stuff, and if anyone ever gets the platform thrown off of Apple or any other of those big platforms, you'll still, there'll be uninterrupted entertainment for you thanks to the modern podcast apps.
	Yeah, that's good stuff.
	It is.
	I want to make, can I make an announcement before I get too far into this and people start hanging up?
	Well, is it about eggs?
	No, it's about process.
	I want to remind people if they ordered their PhD they should go to the NoAgendaRings.com site and send us an address to mail them to.
	Which apparently a lot of people have figured, well, didn't you get it from PayPal?
	Or, I don't know, I didn't know that.
	Oh, really?
	So we have that issue.
	You know, I'm pretty sure every single knighting and daming ceremony, I specifically say, enter the address where you want us to send the ring and your wax and your certificate.
	I'm pretty sure I say that.
	You do, and every single show we always tell the people that.
	Yeah.
	But we are a little lax on telling people to send their notes to notes.
	At noagendershow.net instead of to you and me.
	That'll never get fixed.
	That'll never get fixed.
	So they send one to you, they send one to me, they send, you know, so I send it to Jay and you send it to Jay and she has to sort these out.
	I know.
	Oh, it's finally starting.
	There you go.
	She's starting to complain.
	No, she didn't.
	She mentions it.
	She doesn't complain.
	She's sick.
	She's got the COVID.
	We're breaking her.
	We're breaking Jay.
	Well, we can keep... We'll get her eventually.
	She's falling apart.
	She's sick.
	That sucks.
	Yes, you got the flu, I think.
	We're almost over.
	We took ivermectin, we took quercetin, D3... Yeah, and if Tina got... Did you ever figure out what you had?
	Was it the flu?
	I don't know.
	I'm not gonna test.
	I'm not a moron.
	You don't have to test.
	You can tell.
	These things are all slightly different.
	You should know your body enough to say, oh, I'm catching the flu.
	Well, I know exactly what I had.
	If you want to know... Dude, I had the wave!
	This morning, hearing from several health experts about a potential COVID-19 surge at the end of this month.
	That's right, the latest models show a wave is coming.
	Wave!
	The ABC Action News... Wave is coming!
	It's JN.1, baby.
	Don't you know the wave is coming?
	The Wave.
	The Wave.
	JN1.
	The Wave.
	The best hot hiss.
	Sounds like a rock station.
	That's what I'm saying.
	JN1.
	The Wave.
	Hey, tune in.
	JN1 on your dial.
	JN1.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	Yeah, people help Jay out.
	And by the way, you know, it'll never be linked from Dvorak.org slash NA, but noagendadonations.com.
	It has all that information there.
	And I say this, I say, I give this address as well.
	It's alright, you know, you can't change people's behavior.
	We can try.
	But if you want your rings, then you get it much faster.
	The diplomas, too.
	We've got to get the rest of them out.
	Process.
	I think we've shipped 50, 60, 75.
	Go through process, people.
	Process.
	Go through process.
	So I wanted to make a complaint about process, and so there you have it.
	And you should sign it, THE MANAGEMENT.
	All caps.
	All caps.
	Value for value is the entire system here, which is now being used everywhere around the internet.
	People are catching on to the idea.
	Of course, we knew this 16 years ago.
	This is the only model for the future.
	It's a safe model because you can't get deplatformed.
	You can't get somebody, one lunatic pressuring your advertisers is all it takes to get them, okay, we shouldn't advertise with them.
	It only takes one lunatic.
	Yep, that's right.
	And one loud lunatic.
	And I think we have a few.
	We have more than a few loud lunatics.
	We've gotten some nasty notes recently.
	You have one you were going to read.
	Well, it's coming up.
	It's coming up in a minute.
	It's a doozy.
	It's a real doozy.
	So the concept is time, talent, or treasure.
	We give you all the value we have.
	We really try hard.
	I mean, we work all week at this stuff.
	We do it during holidays, vacations.
	We take probably about two shows a year off.
	In total?
	I think it was one more this year because of some surgical stuff I was going through.
	I really, really couldn't talk.
	But otherwise, you know, you can chop an arm off and I'll still show up.
	You know, not a problem.
	Oh, sorry.
	I was like, "Tachach." "Tachach.
	Just a shakotosh." But there's a lot of things that people can do and you can contribute because we don't consider you listeners or fans or the audience.
	No, you are producers of the No Agenda Show.
	We do it all together.
	You are No Agenda Nation.
	There's a lot of things you do on your own motivation.
	See the meetups, but you know, meetup site, everything, everything has been done by you guys.
	I mean, even the concept like douchebag, de-douching, karma, none of that.
	We're not that.
	Creative.
	We didn't dream that up.
	We're not creative.
	We don't have any meeting like, hey, let's go over something creative.
	No!
	You guys do it and we go, oh, that's creative.
	Yeah.
	A lot of the clips, a lot of the great finds, a lot of fantastic things.
	It is all you and it is really appreciated.
	Now, some people have more talent than others.
	Some have more time than others.
	Some have more treasure.
	The artists have talent and we want to thank the Clip Custodian Neil Jones for the artwork for episode 1615 titled Day One Dictator.
	And of course, we believe this was complete AI, but it was a nice depiction of the Milgram experiment.
	I love it when you put these things on X and we, you know, we send them out into the ether and people go, that should be on a t-shirt.
	I love that.
	That's how good this stuff is.
	It is.
	It is.
	This was a great piece.
	I love that a lot.
	The Clip Custodian.
	There's another perfect example.
	The Clip Custodian.
	He sends me clips every single show.
	And his brother, the Clip Collector, I think he sends you clips.
	Steve.
	Does he not?
	Yeah, Steve sends me the 3x3.
	The 3x3, exactly.
	And you know what's cool?
	Sometimes they don't send it.
	Like, hey, I got something else to do.
	That's cool too.
	That's what makes it so beautiful.
	We don't have contracts.
	They'll be like, hey man, you're supposed to deliver clips every single show!
	No!
	No, none of that.
	You're fired!
	You're fired!
	You're no good!
	That's actually the only thing we miss.
	Like the art generator.
	You know, so, Sir Paul Couture, the thing's been running for over 12 years.
	13 years.
	And, you know, he actually now on NoahArtGenerator.com, he has a preview down at the bottom of what the new generator will look like, and he has a note for us at the top.
	I didn't see that.
	Yeah, he says, the legacy chapter art works!
	Now this is important because we're using those, you know, that's what Dreb Scott does, another great guy with time on his hands, who does all the chapter art that work in the modern podcast apps, and I think also on noagendashow.net.
	He said, I was almost able to deploy before the start of the show and may still be able to get deployed before the end of show, dealing with some config issues in production.
	I hate JavaScript developers!
	Wow.
	So, it'll be up soon, he says.
	I think everybody does, don't they?
	I have no opinion on that.
	And down at the bottom, it looks like it's going to be beautiful.
	And so, we're patient.
	We're cool.
	And everyone's chipped in.
	Everyone's figured it out.
	They're posting on Knowage on the social.
	He's linking it in.
	It's a beautiful thing, man.
	We appreciate it.
	Take your time, brother.
	That's part of how it works here.
	And don't pressure him.
	Don't pressure him.
	So this is where, so of course we don't have the same level of supply just because it's, you know, it's a more complicated process.
	I'm sure a couple artists like, well, you know, I'll wait, you know, I'll wait until it's back up.
	But still people are doing it and we're so thankful for that.
	So thankful.
	So thank you to the Clip Custodian.
	There were a couple other pieces we discussed.
	I like the CIA manual from Francisco Scaramanga.
	Yeah.
	And you can play along at home if you want to.
	Knowagenderartgenerator.com.
	Yeah, you didn't like that one.
	I thought it was funny.
	You couldn't see that you can't read that little thing there and the little red thing.
	You can't read it.
	Yes you can.
	You can read that just fine.
	Oh, okay, I'm gonna use that as the example, future example, when you bitch and moan about it, you can't read it.
	That is my new... I kind of like the train.
	Yeah, we did talk about the train.
	But it was like, you know... It was so AI that it was... It was super AI that it wasn't particularly funny.
	No, no.
	Koof train, comb your hair, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
	No.
	I mean, this was it.
	This was the one.
	I think the robot was also A.I.
	and then the globe thing was A.I.
	and then the... I say all these pieces except maybe one or two of them, which are the lamer ones.
	Speaking of A.I., this is a fun thing.
	Someone taught me this today.
	So if you go into chat GPT and you say, I have, I'm typing this now, three towels on a clothesline and it takes three hours for them to dry, how long will it take nine towels to dry?
	I ask you, what would the answer be?
	The real answer?
	It should take about the same amount of time.
	The drying time for towels, I'm reading this live, the drying time for towels depends on various factors, including the material of the towels, the humidity.
	This is typical of these answers.
	The air circulation.
	Blah blah blah.
	The air circulation.
	However, if we assume that the conditions remain constant, you can make a simple assumption that the drying time is directly proportional to the number of towels.
	In this case, if it takes three hours for three towels to dry, you can estimate that it would take nine towels three times as long.
	Assuming all other factors remain constant.
	Therefore, it might take approximately 9 hours for 9 towels to dry under the same conditions.
	Yeah, wrong.
	Yeah.
	Keep in mind, this is a rough estimation.
	And the actual drying time could vary based on factors mentioned earlier.
	How stupid is this?
	It can't do math.
	Well, is that really math or logical?
	It's pretty basic.
	I mean, you're saying you're excusing this behavior?
	Yeah, I think AI is the best.
	This is from an $89 billion company.
	Well, there's that.
	That's different.
	Minor thing.
	Minor thing.
	So yeah, people.
	At least we get funky art.
	Yay!
	Good for you.
	These guys, if you know how to use these art generators, the AI ones, and you can fine-tune it, you can correct it, and you know how to do it, you can produce some decent stuff, because we've been picking really good stuff.
	Yeah, that's great.
	Totally.
	I mean, I, yeah, we don't worry so much about plagiarism.
	No, exactly.
	That's a thing of the past.
	Yeah.
	Why bother?
	Why bother to plagiarize anymore?
	Why bother to use clip art?
	Exactly.
	Give up those licenses.
	This is really, this is a, I think it's a, on the other flip side of the AI praise is the fact that is, this is, I guess in the hands of real good artists is maybe a benefit, but I think overall it's costing jobs.
	It's gonna cost jobs.
	Jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Some jobs, but you know, we lost buggy drivers too.
	Replace them with cabbies.
	With turbans.
	In New York.
	Yeah, then they're going to be replaced by self-driving vehicles, except in San Francisco where they're putting G-Bosch on the stuff.
	They fired 900 people from Cruz.
	Cruz is shutting down.
	They have to.
	One guy.
	They drag one guy.
	I mean, how unfair is that?
	One guy they drag along the streets of San Francisco.
	Gotta fire 900 people.
	Where's the equity in that?
	I ask you.
	Well, speaking of New York, Rick Chaudoir, he's in Brooklyn, comes in with what I call the Striper donation, 777.77, and he says, I saw Sir Spoonmaker's ring at the Brooklyn meetup.
	Oh, there was a Brooklyn meetup?
	I didn't get the meetup report.
	Oh, we have producers in Brooklyn who met.
	He says, I want one!
	This donation should bring me up to 1,000.
	I'm thankful my brother, uh, my brother Malkar in Tucson, and my smokin' hot wife, Winter Snark, of 17 years, which is why I had to leave the meetup, uh, and Omakase.
	What?
	Omakase.
	Omakase?
	What does that mean?
	Omakase!
	Is that fast?
	Like, I had to leave the meetup, and Omakase?
	Yeah.
	I don't understand.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Well, we're gonna knight you.
	No matter what.
	Thank you.
	And he doesn't ask for anything else.
	So that's an easy one.
	Omikase.
	So we have a note from the NDNA meetup in Greenwood, Indiana.
	Is this the third week of the same... No.
	No.
	This is... The new meetup.
	This is from the raffle.
	So they finally figured out the raffle, they figured out, because they wanted to do it on the last show, and like, we can sneak it in 10 minutes before you start!
	What about the show before that?
	Why didn't they do it then?
	That's when you came back.
	Because, as I explained, they have a very complicated process, and it's very well organized, just a little slow.
	Doesn't seem organized to me.
	Switcheroo Donation Day, right?
	Hey, you know what, John?
	You can be grateful.
	I'm grateful for it, but I would like it to be a little more consolidated.
	This is the consolidation.
	This is from the raffle.
	Those other ones were people who were just there and donated because they were there.
	This is from the raffle, and it's all consolidated.
	It is?
	Yes.
	Switcheroo, a donation from Indy Meetup for Viscount of Hamilton and the two pennies and no jingles, no karma.
	Well, that's a plus.
	I just want to thank Adam and Tina for visiting.
	Okay, God bless.
	Okay, so... I guess that'll be the end of it.
	No, because the next one is also... These are all... Do you know how it works?
	They do a raffle, and they consolidate it all, and then they gave away, like, four executive producerships and one associate.
	And this is... And they sent it in one email.
	What's your gripe?
	Okay, just saying.
	No, what... No, I'm asking you a question.
	What's your gripe?
	What's wrong?
	What did they do wrong so we can make you a happier man?
	Well, I don't care one way or the other, but I thought this would all be resolved and you went there and then there was a big meetup report and you had all the donations together and everything.
	It's like normally you do a meetup and then there's a report on the meetup and then all the donations are submitted and it all goes through at once.
	This has been the third week that we've been doing these same plugs for the NDNA meetup.
	You don't understand.
	I guess not.
	No.
	I'm just saying it's never happened before.
	It's never, they've never had this many donations before, which is why I'm just grateful.
	Switcheroo donation from the Indy Meetup for John Jones, 333.
	And he says, just wanted to thank Adam the Keeper for coming to the Indianapolis Meetup.
	I was one of the lucky winners of the raffle for an executive producer level donation.
	For the first, oddly enough, 33 years of my life, I had only been surrounded by people of a particular mindset, which I didn't share.
	It wasn't until I started listening to the show that I found that others were similar free thinkers.
	Thank you for the No Agenda Show, as I have not had to feel like I was such an anomaly for the past 11 years.
	Yikes.
	Beautiful.
	Baronetta Salty in Manchester, New Hampshire.
	333.
	Early Merry Christmas to you and the producers and listeners of the best podcast in the universe.
	May the Lord's face, face, face, shine upon you all.
	Love, Baronetta Salty of Manchester.
	I was, I had trouble pronouncing the word borrowers.
	I heard that.
	You went bah, wah, wah, wah, wah.
	It was weird.
	It was funny to get into a loop where I couldn't say it.
	And it was like, I'm concerned now that I couldn't say borrowers.
	I kept trying to put it as the one borrower.
	I couldn't do it.
	And it was just like very annoying.
	I'm wondering if that's a bad thing.
	Well, I was thinking Prevagen.
	That's what it triggered in me.
	How about B12?
	Maybe that'll help.
	Thomas Pears is in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
	333, this is a switcheroo birthday donation from my little bro, Henry.
	Happy birthday, buddy!
	Couldn't let you stay a douchebag for another year.
	De-douche and biscuit, please.
	You've been de-douched.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Alright.
	Indy No Agenda meetup once again from Greenwood, Indiana.
	Another switcheroo raffle.
	They have a big raffle.
	This is for Sir Brian with an I, as opposed to what.
	Great meetup in Indy.
	It was nice to see familiar faces and make new friends, but when I returned to Texas, the doctors could not determine how I contracted RSV.
	But thankfully I listened to No Agenda's show, so the mystery is The mystery's been solved.
	And thanks, Emily.
	It's been a fun two weeks on the germ barge.
	This calls for an Obama you might die in the morning.
	You might die in the morning.
	You might die.
	I don't have the in the morning handy.
	But yeah, you might die.
	Sir Brian with an I versus Sir Brian with a Y.
	Another switcheroo from the Indy NA meetup.
	This is from the raffle donation.
	This is for Sir Nick, Dragon of the Four Domains.
	And he asked, actually this was a good one.
	He said, could you please play the jingle, John's gonna hum the Sunday Times, and throw in a Chess on Woo.
	I had to look for it, but yes.
	John's gonna hum the Sunday Times.
	Chess on Woo!
	Yeah, a classic.
	Have not heard that one.
	That was so long ago.
	A long, long time ago.
	That's when I had a subscription to the New York Times.
	Yeah, you used to hum it.
	Well, I never hummed it, but I talked about some of the headlines and it just turned out to be a dog of a segment.
	Lavender Blossoms, our buddies in Northville, Michigan.
	I think it's lavenderblossoms.com.
	Dot org.
	Dot org.
	OK, pick up a gift for that special someone from our farm, especially the new Cal's Cannabis Solve.
	It's infused with my own organic cannabis and 2X more potent than our CBD solves.
	No, it doesn't get you high.
	Special thanks and happy birthday to all.
	Oh.
	Thank you much.
	I'm just getting the next couple of notes ready here.
	For some reason the PDF wasn't sent, but a picture.
	Oh, then we get 285 from the Brooklyn Drinking Club Meetup.
	And it's their donation.
	Credit to individual donors by their own accounting.
	Okay.
	Well, I love that.
	They're from Brooklyn, New York.
	And so they will keep their own accounting for that.
	Good work.
	Chris Garcia in San Jose, California.
	222.22.
	It's my keeper's birthday on December 14th, and I want to give her an executive title.
	No.
	Uh, exec title for her, please.
	Okay, that's a switcheroo, it should be noted.
	Yes.
	But we don't have her name.
	Well, she'll become Dame I.E.
	of the Treasure Valley.
	Well, let's put her there for the switcheroo.
	Also, I want to have her, okay, Dame Night's credit so she can become, okay, Dame of the Treasure Valley.
	With all my love to you, my Viking beauty!
	Eli the Coffee Guy is in Bensonville, Illinois.
	Uh, palindrome 2-1-2-1-2.
	Attached note.
	Merry Christmas, gentlemen.
	First of all, I want to give a shout out to Trevor in Colorado for hitting me in the mouth and call him out as a douchebag.
	I'm thankful for both of you and appreciate the hard work and dedication which goes into delivering a quality product twice a week.
	I've been a listener since 2018.
	I'm happy to say I'm no longer a douchebag as my wife and business partner sometimes points out.
	Hmm.
	What, she just calls you a douchebag just in general?
	I'm finally in a position to start returning value after taking a vow of poverty to start my own business in 2020 when my wife Jen and I launched Gigawatt Coffee Roasters two weeks before the world shut down.
	Hey, timing is everything in business.
	Needless to say, it's been a wild ride.
	No Agenda has kept me company during the long hours, early mornings, and late nights that go along with the startup.
	I'm thankful for the whole NA community and would like to offer a 20% discount to all producers.
	Go to gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
	Use code ITM20 for your first order to pick up a great bag of fresh air roasted coffee for under 10 bucks!
	Stay safe, no jingles, no karma, just good vibes, blessings, and warm holiday wishes for the whole NA family.
	Stay caffeinated!
	All right.
	He sent me a bunch of the coffee.
	How is it?
	I was going to ask.
	Well, I just got it.
	So like yesterday, I'd like to try some.
	He's got he's got a couple of things he should know.
	He's got a lot of variety of coffees, especially a single source stuff.
	He's got some weird coffees that he's developed and also some cans of coffee drinks that he's developed.
	Him and his wife, Jen, Jen, his partner.
	And I would say, in terms of the packaging of the cans and the beans themselves, top drawer.
	I don't know who he hired to do the packaging and the style of marketing for the packaging themselves.
	He's got barrel-aged coffees, artists in, he's got every millennial and Gen Z zinger on there.
	Small batch.
	Beautiful product.
	Small batch.
	Everything's small batch.
	It's got, it's just, it's absolutely top drawer.
	And I, the coffee I've had so far, which is the screwy barrel aged coffee from Sumatra.
	I like it.
	I, but I want to try some of the other ones and see what, what he's got going on.
	I'll have a report in about a month after I go through some of these coffees.
	Okay.
	Anyway, thanks for the coffee.
	Groovy.
	Thank you, Eli, the coffee guy.
	ITM 20, code at checkout.
	Sir Salah Houser in Melbourne, Florida is up on the list.
	And he says, and he came with 200 even.
	And he says, all I want for Christmas is no exit strategy!
	Sorry, gents.
	Love you guys.
	Mean it.
	Sir Salah Hunter of the 321.
	I think you should do the next one.
	It's your read.
	Linda Lou Patkin, in fact, in Lakewood, Colorado.
	Job's karma for a remarkable resume that hits people in the mouth.
	Go to ImageMakersInc.com for all your executive and resume job search needs.
	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!
	You've got karma.
	Ah, here it is.
	Sir Berserker.
	We have not heard from since January of 2021, but he comes in with an Associate Executive Producership of $200.
	His note is as follows.
	Ditch the jeering tone, Adam.
	Get back to analysis, Adam.
	Show has been weak since you got sucked into the Fredericksburg ladies chat no one cares about.
	I can't recommend this show to anyone due to the amount of whining and lack of insight, Sir Berserker.
	Well, he told you.
	This actually hurt my feelings.
	It did.
	Why?
	Because I don't understand.
	Because of the $200 donation?
	Could have been higher?
	No, I was like, ditch the jeering tone.
	What is that?
	What is jeering tone?
	I don't understand.
	He wants me to correct something, but he's not helping me with any instruction.
	No, you have to actually have a specific, if you're going to do that, because I don't know what he's talking about.
	No, and he's like, Since you got sucked into the... And I don't know about the ladies club he's talking about.
	You're talking about the... Liberty's Moms for Liberty?
	Yeah, Moms for Liberty.
	Which I think is boots on the ground.
	I don't understand.
	Now, that he can't recommend the show to anyone due to the amount of whining.
	What whining?
	And lack of insight.
	I mean, that's just... To what?
	I don't know, but it hurt my feelings.
	Oh... Yeah.
	Well, I feel that... I condemn this note!
	I mean, we've been kind of the same for 16 years.
	Yes, we fluctuate.
	There's ups and downs with everything, but I just don't understand it.
	I don't understand it.
	And here we go again.
	Indy, no agenda meetup in Greenwood, Indiana.
	$200.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Luckily, switcheroo raffle.
	How many raffles do they do?
	Donation for Mike Hall.
	Mike Hall.
	You know, there's a note missing.
	There's something we're doing, one of our old donors, producers, Mike Crotch, I guess he's due some P.A.C., but he sent some notes in, it was confusing to Jay, and she said, there's this guy who keeps sending notes in about, I have no record of his notes, because it comes under some other name, I'm guessing.
	She says, is Michael, I guess a Michael Crotch, a Crotch?
	I said, you mean Mike Crotch?
	Mike Crotch, yeah, we know Mike Crotch.
	And she didn't get it, and then she cracks up, and she can't talk to me for about an hour.
	Really?
	Wow.
	Because it's so funny.
	It's one of those jokes, you know, Mike Crotch.
	Yeah, Mike Crotch.
	So at least, hey, Mike, you got one person to think this is funny.
	You got her, you got her.
	Good job, Mike.
	See more butts, you'll get the same approach when you come in.
	Good work, good work.
	All right, that would be our last associate executive producer.
	See, now the trolls are really hurting my feelings.
	Like, yeah, you were more funny when you were stoned.
	That's not true.
	Mimi, who used to produce comedy, knows that.
	Hey, there you go.
	Thank you.
	Yes.
	She's an actual expert.
	Wow.
	Now I feel much better all of a sudden.
	Wow, that's great.
	She's the expert, not some lame-o that's in the chat room.
	Troll.
	Troll.
	Whatever.
	Lame-o troll.
	Thank you very much to our Executive and Associate Executive Producers.
	We really appreciate, especially the Indie Raffle winners, who also all got to take home a prize in addition to their Executive or Associate Executive Producership.
	And you had like a No Agenda license plate.
	There was a signed copy of Too Many Eggs, the book, TooManyEggs.com.
	I'm just saying, I mean, this was a great way to do it.
	And all consolidated, we thank you so much, Mark and Maria, for sending that all through.
	And, of course, we always want to thank people who come in under $50 for reasons of anonymity.
	And if you're on a sustaining donation, thank you.
	If not, please consider one at dvorak.org slash NA or noagendadonations.com.

	And this is a note you probably should read because I think he's becoming a knight with this note.
	He says, Jenny Jensen is my keeper's name and her birthday is December 14th.
	IE of the Treasure Valley.
	Not enough room to complete comment via PayPal.
	We've been donating $33.33 per month since September 20.
	Order for the roundtable.
	Able Skyvers?
	Able Skyvers with powdered sugar and lingonberry jam.
	I know the lingonberry jam.
	So that was who we had earlier.
	And so I guess they completed everything so she's gonna be a dame now.
	So this is good news.
	And I have the lingonberry for you.
	Eric in Casper, Wyoming.
	Oh, that's the other thing I wanted to mention when I did the thing about process.
	Somebody sent a note that went to Jay's Spambox saying they didn't want to be mentioned.
	I don't know if it's on this list or not.
	I don't think so.
	It may be the last show.
	I didn't want to be mentioned.
	I was a donor.
	I didn't want to be mentioned.
	I want to be anonymous.
	So it went to the Spambox.
	And then the kicker is, they donated $50.
	If they had donated $49.99, they would automatically be anonymized.
	$49.99, it would automatically be anonymized.
	That's right.
	Okay, anyway, I just mentioned that.
	Eric in Casper, Wyoming came with a hundred bucks.
	Now he needs a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Patricia Lewis in Merced, California got a birthday call out for her grandson.

	Yeah, for her husband, Judd, and a de-douching.
	And she wanted to go.
	You've been de-douched.
	So these are the folks who helped make show 1616, even though I don't see any 1616 donations, a possibility and a reality.
	Thank you all.
	Yes and again we appreciate everyone who came in under that and the sustaining donations are definitely something you want to check out.
	Please do that.
	And a reminder that these credits for Executive and Associate Executive Producer are completely valid, legal, and anywhere credits are recognized you can use it.

	I have a quick Meetup Report from Beach Girl, no audio reports today, who was at the Higgin' Em Connecticut Truck Bar Ugly Sweater Party Meetup Report.
	Sent us a great picture, everyone had an ugly Christmas sweater on, and she says it was fantastic.
	We had 17 attendees, including some new faces.
	It was a beautiful December day.
	50 or so degrees in Connecticut.
	Felt more like fall.
	Most of us were festive.
	Wore an ugly Christmas sweater.
	The pizza provided by CT Ken.
	Thank you so much, CT Ken.
	Drinks and conversation were all great.
	No Agenda producers are the best.
	It was great to be around 17 like-minded people and we could all be ourselves with ugly sweaters.
	Can't wait for the next meetup.
	Adam and John, Merry Christmas.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Hope you enjoyed the picture from the meetup.
	Enjoyed it very much.
	Beach Girl, thank you so much.
	Today there is a meetup taking place at the Mile High Meetup, Lincoln's Roadhouse in Denver, Colorado.
	They'll be kicking off at 6.30.
	And on Saturday, it's important you hear this if you're in Texas, it's the first Northwest Houston meat shoot.
	It's always fun, man.
	Go shoot some guns with a whole bunch of people.
	When you get no agenda people, no agenda producers at a meat shoot, they bring crazy guns.

	You got any ISOs?
	You got ISOs?
	I do, but I want to read something first.
	Okay.
	So Patricia Lewis wrote in BARD And she says, I just want to mention this, I think we dedouched her grandson, Jackson.
	She says, since you comment on my lovely handwriting each time I send a donation, you can attribute the fine penmanship to the tutelage of the Sisters of Mercy.
	Of Tullamore, Ireland!
	Oh, they wrapped her knuckles with a ruler!
	That's what I'm thinking.
	She has almost the exact same handwriting as Tina, but I think, and I don't want to insult Patricia, but I think Tina's is actually even more fine.
	So now we need to know how Tina learned to write like that.
	Was she in a Catholic school where they beat her?
	Uh, I don't think so.
	She is a perfectionist, and she always wanted to be very good at school for a whole bunch of reasons.
	Oh, well, she's one of those.
	So she would do her homework, but that handwriting... I know, I'm like, hey babe, can you write out that check for the pool guy?
	It's like, why can't you write it?
	I said, come on, are you kidding me?
	This is like, you're giving the guy a piece of art, and he's like, oh, I don't even want to cash this check, it's so beautiful.
	That's how beautiful it is.
	I will ask her though.
	I think she just... I will put a... I will ask for both ladies.
	Right.
	I'm going to give him something to write out.
	I want him to write out.
	I'm going to put in a newsletter and we can do a test.
	Oh, oh, it's a write-off.
	Nice.
	A write-off.
	A showdown.
	Handwriting showdown.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	She'll be happy to send that to you.
	I will, I will remind you, whatever she needs to do, you let me know.
	We'll send it off.
	Yeah.
	This won't happen tomorrow, but it will happen.
	Oh please.
	You get me all excited.
	All right.
	What are your ISOs?
	I have two.
	Okay.
	Uh, let's see.
	What are they?
	Let's start with, um, congrats.
	Congratulations.
	Ooh, nice.
	I like it.
	It's, it's to the point.
	It's crisp.
	Crisp.
	And think about that.
	And I want you to think about that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's okay.
	Uh, let me see what I have.
	Check your barn door.
	Yeah.
	That one I have.
	You need to get out more.
	You can send that one to me.
	Ooh, yes, and diddly doo.
	That's a little muddled, and then... This has been a lot of fun.
	We should stay in touch.
	Kind of like that one.
	What do you like?
	Well, to be honest about it, that last one, I do like it too, but it's a little long.
	Especially when you have... I think just congrats or think about that.
	I think my two are short and sweet.
	Well, this is an executive decision.
	Congratulations!
	Yeah, that's cute.
	I like congratulations.
	We just keep it at congratulations.
	That was very good.
	It's time!
	Once again, Mimi works very hard all week when she's not working at the kennel, when she's not working with Jay at the publishing company.
	She is out there just digging around for good news.
	She has so much that John is deluged under good news.
	So this one I cut down because they're all from local stations from Utah.
	Too long.
	And they run too long.
	They run two and a half, three minutes, sometimes four.
	So I cut this one down.
	It was like two something.
	This guy cut it down to some 58 seconds, but this is about, and I believe local news channels all have these stories.
	This is a 16 year old, a fit 16.
	It's amazing.
	A fit 16 year old who's pumping iron and has a, his heart just stops.
	A Cache County teen is recovering at Primary Children's Hospital after his heart stopped while lifting weights at school.
	Witnesses say a trainer at that school jumped into action there, saved his life.
	New Specialist Shara Park joined us live from the hospital tonight.
	Shara, how's Dean Phillips doing this evening?
	Mike and Deanie, as you can imagine, it has been a very difficult and emotional 24 hours for 16-year-old Dean Phillips.
	With permission from the family, a close family friend tells us that he was in and out of sedation and intubation while he was in ICU.
	And every time they tried to bring him out of that, he was agitated and incoherent.
	But then today, A major step in his recovery.
	They were able to bring him out of sedation and he was able to talk with his parents and start asking them questions about what happened.
	Now Dean's heart stopped yesterday afternoon while lifting weights with his friends at Skyview High School in Smithfield.
	Grateful they had quick access to the right people and the right resources.
	Sheriff, thanks.
	That's not good news.
	The kid has a vaccine injury or something.
	This is not good news.
	Tax injury?
	So how else does that happen?
	Why did you make an assumption like that?
	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.
	That's right, good news at the end of every single No Agenda Show.
	We are long today everybody, but we gave you a lot of deconstruction.
	I hope you enjoyed it.

	Just saying.
	It's coming.
	Oh, it's definitely coming.
	But, you know, we could just sit at home, collect checks, and the AI just looks at every story and goes, oh, I know how to do this.
	They would be very funny.
	But we'll start with you.
