This is your award-winning Gibbon Nation Media Assassination Episode 1798.
This is no agenda.
With nothing cutesy to say.
And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas No Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're noticing they caught the guy, they let the guy go, they caught him.
They've got him, they don't have him, they have him, they don't know what they're doing.
I'm John C. Deborah.
It's Craig Blodden Bugskill.
In the morning.
Yeah.
Tough week.
Not a good week.
So Todd Cochrane.
At least it didn't happen on a show day.
No, gives us a little bit of time to have nothing.
Um Todd Cochran passed away on uh I think Monday, which was and do you know who he is, Todd Cochran?
Well, I know his name, but I don't know, don't know him.
Oh, he was one of the one of the very early podcasters, and he founded Oh, yes, you mentioned yes, yeah, I did I well I never met him, but I knew who he was a no agenda night, actually.
Yes.
And he found the blueberry, and he just died suddenly.
Literally, that's what the uh uh what the obituary said died suddenly of a heart attack, 61.
It's like, oh, okay.
A little young.
Yes.
And uh today, of course, September 11th, where we all have to remember that uh after those devastating uh plane crashes everywhere, we found a hijackers passport completely unscathed.
Let's let's not forget that.
Let's not forget that.
Yeah.
But yesterday, man, Charlie Kirk.
Uh I got a note from one of our uh producers, uh uh Iraq veteran, because it kind of fits with September 11th, because why was he there?
And he said, Double sad day today, Charlie Kirk yesterday, a true free speech assassination.
I saw a young Marine die in a similar way in Iraq in 2005, and the video of Charlie rock me like it was the first time seeing it.
Knowing Charlie Moore with his wife and two kids and watching him for years and being proud of the things he has done for our young people.
I canceled all my meetings for today because it's hard to stay focused because I'm time traveling back to Iraq and it's just looping in my head.
And he also said that the videofocation of violence is just horrific, which is true.
You know, you and I've discussed, you're not really on X like that with an algorithm.
You just uh on the on the website, I think.
But it's always my phone's in a drawer.
Yes, smartly.
It's always everything you see is violence.
If you just scroll and if you let the videos go, it's all just people beating each other.
That's if you keep picking it.
If you watch those videos, if you stop watching those videos, you'll start getting something else.
Yeah, no, that's not true because I've tried everything.
Tried everything.
Um you sent a couple of bonus clips, which I want to start, because I I presume you have the latest update, which I don't have, but I'll just tell you something changed in me yesterday.
This was something what something changed in me.
Something changed.
You know, we all went to church, we prayed for Charlie, his friends, his family, prayed for our country.
I can't claim this show from this day forward will ever could really be called no agenda because from now on I got an agenda, an American agenda.
And that's based on what Charlie Kirk stood for.
Truth according to the word of God.
I am sick of it all.
Sick of it.
Time to put down our phones and pick up our Bibles.
Give me your bonus clips.
What you got?
Well, I have the teaser clip from ABC, which is what brought me to the second clip.
And the um because the second clip kind of brings a little I I was not expecting this.
I thought it was just I thought we we'll discuss this, but I thought this was a professional hit.
I completely, I still think it was.
Well, to a point, but there's some conspiracy aspect to it.
And uh being a professional hit, I th led me to believe that they're never gonna catch the guy because he already had because from what you can tell from what you we've been told, is there were two decoys, and it which is one more than usual that were both picked up and let go.
Uh and there was uh and the guy was you know, he was it was a one shot, which was a important to note.
Bolt action rifle.
Supposedly.
Well, yes, we the new news flash, nobody knows anything, and the FBI is certainly the last to know, apparently.
And uh so we have uh um this this broke this morning from ABC.
Hi, I'm Diamond Sato.
Let's get right to breaking news.
The FBI is asking for help identifying this man who they are calling a person of interest in the shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Sources tell ABC News ammunition found with the rifle was engraved with messages about transgender issues and anti fascist ideology.
Yeah, v really convenient in this case.
Well, I don't know how convenient it was, but the point is that they brought in later.
They had a this is a long presentation, and they they had uh got gotten as far as they could with the uh with the story.
As far as I'm concerned, that teaser there was probably the thing wrapped up in a in a nutshell in a package.
So then we have this from this I picked up.
I uh kind of I retweeted this and I took it down.
I said, I don't know, maybe not, because it's it's inflammatory, but I thought this clip was uh quite interesting.
Yeah, you gotta tell me which clip that is, because I didn't know.
Oh, it's trans.
Oh, hold on a second.
It was the second bonus clip.
I know I saved it.
Hold on a second.
I don't understand why it's not here.
I'm sorry.
I'm telling you, I saved this clip, and for some reason Well, you probably saved it to a wrong, it probably went to a wrong folder then.
Uh foreboding, yeah, here it is.
Okay, hold on a second.
Sorry about that.
I'll cut this out and no one will ever know the difference.
Oh, if if if oh, if it's a trans shooter, baby, the trans community.
So this person here goes to the university.
Of course, uh they them, and look at what he said yesterday.
He says here, Charlie Kirk is coming to my college tomorrow.
I really hope someone evaporates him, literally.
And then he writes, let's just say something big will happen tomorrow.
Hmm.
So a trans student is saying this yesterday, and I also find it very, very odd that the person asking the question was asking Charlie about trans shooters before he got shot.
So FBI, Cash Mattel, who the fuck this dude is.
Yeah, I think you should look into this.
Yeah, no, that's uh I think we probably all saw that post.
And the person who posted that after I was like, no, no, no, I didn't do any.
There are a lot of people saying no, the other thing is the coincidence, because the question was to Charlie, how many trans shooters were involved in you know mass shootings in the last 10 years?
And Charlie's answer was a little glib, uh, which was uh abnormal for him.
Uh, but it was a good it was good, it was funny.
I have it here.
Okay.
Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?
Too many.
I think it replays here.
Now Biden is a lot, right?
I'm gonna give you some credit.
Do you know do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?
Counting or not counting gang violence.
*BOOM* *BOOM* Get down, get down, get down!
So the the time differential between him uh uh saying uh too many and getting shot was eleven seconds.
And uh the the coincidence is a little too much for me.
Me too.
Because you had the guy posting this note uh and then in total denial, and next thing you know, you have a trans guy asking a specific or trans uh I don't know what if he was he wasn't.
No, I don't think I don't think he was.
No, he was just some guy or dude or they them, who knows, but some guy at coincidentally asking a question about trans shooters, and with eleven seconds he gets shot, and then we now we have the report from ABC that has these etchings on bullets or something, which may or may not be true.
But this if this is lined up to just uh sabotage, and there's also an Antifa angle according to ABC.
Um there was Antifa stuff.
It's a little bit too much to expect this to be a an optitrance op.
There's something going on.
Yeah, we have an enemy in America, and if anything, that enemy is trying to cause civil war, because that's where we're headed.
And well, I don't I don't buy that.
Okay, you don't buy it.
I'm no we're not headed to a civil war.
World world wars have been started over one guy getting shot.
Yeah.
Okay.
So you say this.
Say whatever you want.
I'm telling you how I feel.
And if anyone's to blame, if anyone's to blame, it's the crap that we have on television, it's the crap that our politicians, it's the crap that is repeated on social media, and it's crap like this.
But following up on what what was just said, he's been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups.
And I always go back to hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions.
Exactly.
Let's hear an example.
I I I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be.
People need to start taking to the streets.
This is a dictator.
You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there's unrest in our lives, enemies up to stake.
Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless.
How do you resist the temptation to run up and bring her neck?
The biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized right up to the right.
I thought he should have punished him in the face.
I said, even if he lost, he insulted you.
Why is he on the escalator and call Mexicans rapists and murderers?
He said, Well, what do you think I should have done?
I said, I think you should have punished him in the face, and then gotten out of the race.
He would have been a hero.
I'd like to punch him in the face.
I said, if we're in high school, I'd take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
Punch some people in the face.
When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump, and that's a fact.
Look, as his character is stabbed to death.
Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need him?
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
A Missouri State Senator is under investigation by the Secret Service after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.
I will go and take Trump out tonight.
And if you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, you get home and look at the guy.
And look what's back on them.
And you know, guys.
And sadly, the domestic enemies to our voting system and our honoring our constitution.
Uh right at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
They're not gonna stop before election day in November, and they're not gonna stop after election day.
And that should be everyone should take note of that on both levels.
That this isn't they're not gonna let up, and they should not.
When you have weak people who clearly are mentally ill, this this kind this kind of rhetoric can stir people up to nut job stuff.
Well, that's definitely true.
But I if you're gonna blame anybody, uh if we're gonna go with the transgender angle, I would blame the medical community.
I'm I'm with you.
I'm completely with you.
But it's not just the medical community, it's the lawmakers who are pushing for this, the news that continuously pushes for this, political opinions that continue push for this.
Yeah, and you know, I'm also done with the with the abortion baby killing.
I'm done with all of it.
I'm done with all of this crap.
And I'm also done with Israel.
Who may or may not.
I mean, if this was a p if this was a an assassin's hit, listen to what Charlie Kirk was saying about Israel.
I have less ability sometimes online to criticize the Israeli government about backlash than actual Israelis do.
You're not allowed to.
It's even worse than that.
Like I host a person that I moderate the debate of my right and I give equal time to Josh Hammer, equal time to a pro-Israel advocate.
And my moral character is being put into question.
And so I I just I think it's a hyper paranoid, like we're just gonna try to we're gonna just stamp out everything type type of practice.
It's like there's some rule.
You can't go there when it comes to Israel.
Well, you and I believe that we're Americans and Americans first.
Period.
End of story.
We are citizens of this nation, okay?
And Israel.
We have funded, we have supported.
Not like we're gonna, but we're like, honestly, the way you are treating me is so repulsive.
I have text messages, Megan, calling me an anti-Semite.
But my moral character is now being put into question, Megan.
Not my decisions, not like, hey, are you doing this?
Is it smart or is it dumb?
But no, I am a bad person if I do this.
For all we know, this could have been a warning to Trump.
Oh, you really you have a problem with us bombing Qatar, bombing people in Qatar.
You got a problem with that?
I wouldn't pet put it past BB Netanyahu.
He's off the rails, that guy.
He's gone too far now.
Well, that's something of a stretch, although you curiously you now agree with Natalie and uh and Clayton.
I'm not agreeing, I'm saying for all we know.
We don't know anything.
That's their thesis.
What I do know is for people saying, what was this airplane?
The assassin left on a private plane, he left the airport just you know, just right after Kirk was shot.
Uh the airplane November 888 Kilo Golf was actually the plane Charlie Kirk traveled on most.
I know this because when I saw him speak in Dallas, um, we landed our little four-seater at uh Addison Airport, and I saw, and that was the I don't know if it was Addison.
That was the only plane I saw, and I spoke to the people there, and they told me that that was Kirk's plane.
And it and it's uh it's like a net jet.
So it it can leave, it can stay overnight, whenever, whenever and wherever they need it.
So that's that's not true.
But the ignorance, the ignorance of people.
You know, we have the Patriot Academy here.
And the, you know, which is they they teach young people how to introduce bills and how to argue them on the floor and how to make them politically savvy to get them into government.
Uh and so they were going to create Constitution City, which would be like a small, you know, 200-person city.
It's a 1776, you know, Patriot Way, whatever.
It's all cutesy.
If you see what people post about them online, it's unbelievable.
Burn it, bomb them.
Maybe this will be another Waco.
They'll kill each other and do the rest of us a favor, nuke it, let them die by their bigotry.
People are ignorant.
And they and all they do is they sit on their phones all day and listen to nonsense and nonsense politicians and nonsense talking heads, and they believe this stuff.
And then you get people, I only have one of them because it's just too annoying.
What's the uh this is just a perfect example.
White woman green hair.
So I'm gonna be very fucking clear about this so that you know exactly where I stand, and I will say this with my whole entire chest.
There are some people on this app that are sitting there saying, Oh, you shouldn't wish death upon any person, no matter what side they're on.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.
Charlie Kirk was a fucking Nazi.
He was a fucking Nazi.
And you know what kind of Nazis, the best Nazi?
A dead one.
Thank God that shit stain of a person is no longer in this world.
And may his hell being confronted by every single marginalized person that he hurt.
That is what is fucking wrong with you.
That does not make me a bad person for thinking that bad people should not be in this world.
So fuck that Nazi and have a great day.
And you know, you've seen it.
There was a lot of this everywhere.
Oh, there's some gems.
You know, and uh my favorite proverb: fools find no pleasure in understanding, but delight in airing their own opinions.
That is exactly what that woman is.
So we hopefully we'll find out.
Hopefully, we'll we'll figure this out.
Man, if it was if it was Netanyahu, it wasn't net and ya.
Well, you don't know that.
You don't know anything.
Remember, we just found the passport.
But to go out of the on the out of this just out of the blue with net Yahoo is just ridiculous.
I don't care what you think about my ridiculous assertions.
I'm not leaving anything off the table.
Anything.
Well, how about how about this the whole thing was it was a uh staged and it was an extraction?
No, I don't, I don't I where's the Oh, you just left something off the table.
Okay.
I just wanted to clear it.
Did you please show me the evidence?
Or do you have show me the evidence of Netanyahu?
I have no evidence other than a very targeted.
I'm just pointing out that you're you are leaving stuff off the table and you are you're just being bigoted in some funny way.
I'm not being bigoted.
You know, I I actually yesterday thought I would stop doing the show.
I'm so sick and tired of you just saying these things.
I have an opinion.
Do you tell me I'm bigoted?
Where's where's your green hair, dude?
Yeah, I'm just saying.
But you know, you'll get over it.
Let's see.
Maybe you'll get over it.
Maybe.
And maybe not.
Maybe.
So uh let's listen to some analysis about and I thought this was kind of interesting.
This is about the police work going into this from some quasi-spook character.
This is Kirk Analysis Police Work N T D. And joining us now to unpack the tragic death of Charlie Kirk is Michael Letz.
He's a former Green Beret and law enforcement expert.
He's also the CEO of Invest USA.
Michael, thank you so much for joining us to discuss this tragedy.
First, what will federal law enforcement have to do to figure out exactly what happened?
A large crowd of students were there, as Charlie spoke.
Will need to be assessed.
The first thing we'll have to do is go in and you know do the trajectory, find out exactly where the round came from.
You know, this kind of tragic that this much time has passed without that being pinpointed, but they're in the process of doing that now.
Obviously, we'll have to keep match up the trajectory with the exact location, the exact casing on the shell, what uh type rifle was used.
And then we're gonna have to go into the intel community, find out chatter, find out the list of suspects, and that may be very broad, because uh obviously Charlie's message was controversial, it was right on point, but it was controversial, and so there's a lot of people that would seek to do him harm.
So we're gonna have to make sure that that gets done, gets done effectively.
The problem that it does bring is that it could take some time.
But one of the things I want to reassure the American people is that America stands strong and firm, has always stood strong and firm on the matters of patriotism and truth, and this will not deter us in any former fashion.
And who is this guy?
Well, they introduced him at the beginning.
Uh you can play that again if you want to know.
But the thing that I thought interesting about this clip was that did the Intel community has a list of suspects just sitting around that they they keep track of everybody?
Let me listen to who that guy is again.
Let me hear his intro.
And joining us now to unpack the tragic death of Charlie Kirk is Michael Letz.
He's a former Green Beret and law enforcement expert.
He's also the CEO of Invest USA.
Invest USA.
Well, I'll have to look that up.
But he he clearly says, Charlie Kirk had a controversial message.
What was so controversial to nut jobs?
Who is it controversial to?
It was obviously controversial to everybody at MSNBC.
Invest USA sells bulletproof vests.
Okay.
Well, there's there's an expert.
Well, I mean, you could say what you want.
This play clip too.
And of course, right now it's so early stages.
But from your perspective, what kind of weapon could have been used here today.
It definitely was a long-range rifle.
I believe it was a sniper rifle, which quite frankly, if that is the case proves to be accurate, then this was not some just off the cuff, shall we say, disgruntled uh leftist uh personnel.
This would have been a well-coordinated and a well-planned attack and would have been given a lot of consideration, a lot of thought, which then narrows the uh prospects of the suspects that we're looking at, but it also has this great concern.
Where do they stop?
They're going after conservatives, obviously they uh attempted to assassinate the president, they've made other attempts on other personnel.
So where is their stop?
Where is there any point?
Or they you just determined to make sure they continue this violence against American people until they get whatever it is they're looking for, which obviously is a return of power.
Oh, so he's saying the Democrats, basically.
Yeah.
That's what he's saying, basically.
Democrats.
And all those clips that you played earlier of all the people shaking their fists and and asking for violence, if you noticed they were all Democrats.
Oh, yeah.
You had Nancy Pelosi, you had uh what's her name, uh Waters, you had every each and every one of them, you had the Rick uh what's his name, the guy called for the association.
The Lincoln project, whatever Rick Wilson.
You had everybody and their sister in that clip series that you played, you can play it again.
Don't uh was all Democrats.
They're all Democrats.
Leftists, including news people.
I don't even think they were even that that left much leftists, they were all Democrats.
I mean, but it's you can call a Democrat a leftist, but I I think they're just Democrats.
Okay.
I call them Marxists, socialists.
I I just don't see Nancy Pelosi being a Marxist.
She's a pure capitalist.
Okay.
But she's a Democrat, and she was one of the people in there in that clip series.
Uh let's go to three.
And Michael have seen cancel culture and violence rise at universities carried out against conservative speakers.
Do you expect what happened today to bring about serious change in this regard?
Hold on a second.
I might did I get the right one?
Is that clip three?
Yeah, I think so.
Well, the question would be what kind of change can it bring about?
And you know, do one or two things.
Can it silence conservatives?
Absolutely not.
I think you're going to see more voices that are going to rise up and take the place of what Charlie was doing such an effective job of doing.
The second question is, can we provide better security?
Well, you can provide better security if you're keeping those conservative speakers in an enclosed area, i.e.
an auditorium where you can check people coming in, check people coming out, making sure there are no terrorists or sniper shots that could be done uh from advantaged buildings.
But that's not the case.
That was never Charlie style, and that's really not the style of conservative America.
They want to be able to express their opinions where people can be heard.
And that's on the streets on the sidewalks.
And as long as that takes place, it's very hard to continue to provide additional security measures.
So I think you're going to see an increase in this.
I think you're going to see an increase in conservative voices being heard.
And until we from the intelligence community and a law enforcement standpoint, pinpoint the source of all this and deal with its leadership and bring it to justice, it's going to get worse, not better.
Baffling to me is how Charlie Kirk was one of the most guarded people in America.
I mean, he had all kinds of security measures.
How could they have missed this?
It's it's like, wow, this seems like a no-brainer, this one.
Well, they did talk about most of these talk show guys, uh, especially on Fox, they discussed this in great detail.
And uh they and the the final result was that you can, you know, he had a contingent of pros, and there were some uh campus police involved, but they didn't it was they they all concluded it wasn't at the level of the Secret Service where they would do the checks of the buildings and and have you know counter-snipers, because Charlie didn't have that.
And it was just all personal protection for that, you know, being You know, the entourage type protection for uh for close in assaults.
No one ever, you know, considered a shot from the Well, that's but that's what I mean.
It's like if if you're in the business of securing somebody who's getting constant death threats, and like, oh, we didn't think of that.
Well, I now I'm not gonna argue about that, but but at the same time, the irony to this is that maybe they do think about that, but what in Orem, Utah?
Lily White, uh super conservative, the no crime area of the country, probably MAC to the max.
Perfect location.
That's my point.
You're making it for me.
That's my point.
Perfect location.
It is the perfect location, but it's also the perfect place for you to drop your guard.
Yes.
That's what I mean.
Unprofessional.
Well, I don't know if some of it, yeah, it's well, it's natural.
Maybe it's unprofessional if if you're completely paranoid.
But he should have done it inside in that regard, if that was the case.
But uh yeah.
Yeah.
And the guy's on the loose.
Anyway, this is the last clip.
And when we talk about accountability here, who do you think authorities are going to look at to figure out what were the events that led up to something like this?
Well, I think you've got a number of factors looked at.
First of all, a good old adage from a law enforcement standpoint.
Where's the money?
Go to the money trail, follow the money, follow the paper.
Yes.
So who's financing these?
Who's financing the ability for this to transpire?
You know, it's not cheap for long-range rivals.
It's not cheap to plan the logistics and these kind of things.
So find out where the funding sources are coming from.
Second of all, find out what the players are.
You're not going to get somebody just fresh off the street to do this.
This took a professional, somebody who knew what he was doing and who knew how to have the handle the accuracy of that fire weapon.
So those are the kind of issues that we're going to have to look for.
Find out who is in the process of organizing and already has been organized for that matter.
And by being already organized, they're using their resources to try to counter conservative message, to try to bring forth a revolution, shall we say, of liberal liberalism and liberal ideas.
Those are the ones you want to target and investigate.
You'll find your answers when you go there.
Yes.
Seems right.
Seems right to follow the money and and bust it up.
That's the simplest solution.
Yeah.
And we I think we know where half the money's coming from.
Where?
Soros.
Opus.
I'm I'm I'm with Glenn Beck on this one.
The Open Society Foundation, because Soros is practically dead himself.
I guess.
Well, yeah, but this foundation is he peopled it with, you know, he knew how to how to staff an office.
Let's just play this Kirk Report NPR kicker.
This is from NPR.
Hold on a second.
Conservative activist and turning point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk has died.
Shot at a college campus in Utah.
As NPR Stephen Fowler reports, the 31-year-old helped usher in an age of in-your-face conservative politics that resonated with young voters, especially young men.
Charlie Kirk was well known as an energizing speaker and organizer, getting young conservatives registered to vote and ultimately activating a key demographic for a party that has struggled with young people.
At 18, he co-founded Turning Point USA as a college campus free speech organization.
I had the crazy and wild idea, I want to try to start a youth organization to try and save Western civilization.
It evolved into an empire with annual summits, faith leader outreach, and successful media platforms.
Kirk was speaking at Utah Valley University at what was supposed to be the start of a 15 campus American comeback tour when he was shot.
Stephen Fowler in PR News.
Kirk was shot as he was taking questions from the audience about gun violence in the United States.
Wow.
Now, it's so rare.
The number of NPR clips that I have where they finish off, I usually cut them short before the guy says, he signs off with I'm so-and-so with NPR, which the reporter did.
It is unbelievably rare that then all of a sudden the host kicks in at an extra little tidbit.
That one is not rare for NPR.
They are just very rare for NPR to I mean that's their attitude, but the kick in the tidbit at the end when it's not in the main report is is fairly rare, believe me, because I this is my one of my main things I clip from.
And when I heard that, what was the point?
Just to put a little gun little gun action in there, a little oh anti-gun stuff.
I just thought it was I thought it was chicken shit, bad re you know, just bad.
Lie form.
It was a lie.
It was not bad form.
And also how they say he has died.
Not he was killed, he was murdered, he was assassinated.
He has died.
Subtle, but that makes a difference to me.
Yeah, no, no, you're right.
That's a good catch.
And uh, this is NPR, this is the you know, they just don't know.
And they're besides I think the media somewhat, especially these guys, uh the public media is somewhat beside itself because it's uh doesn't know what to how to handle this because it's like uh they know they're the bad guys.
Do they?
Do they?
Do they really know?
I they think there's some when this ha only now, I mean, once it was something like this happens, I don't think they generally know they're the bad guys, but I think when something like this happens, it kind of reminds them that they might be the bad guys.
And uh so they they it's interesting to watch him because they they position things differently than they normally do.
Now, do you consider Charlie Kirk's uh turning point to be a political organization or something else?
Well, Charlie the way I see this, Charlie Kirk is one of those rare people that had a genuine calling during college, quits Bill Gates is the same kind of guy.
Wow.
I really think so.
Not the current Bill Gates after he got piped in the face and it changed his personality, but but the original Bill Gates, he just saw something.
He had a vision, quit Harvard to start a software company and became the world's richest man for a long period of time.
And Charlie Kirk was the same kind of guy.
I mean, it for an 18-year-old or to develop an operation that would result in him having private planes and and eight hundred and fifty uh branches around the un around the country of his of turning point USA and a big headquarters and uh and a well or organized uh structure.
This business was highly structured, and for him himself to become one of the top, and the only way to describe him, I was thinking about this a few shows ago about people like Charlie Kirk, who which is not easy to do, but he's genuinely a polemicist.
And people should kind of look that up and note how that what that is.
And a polemicist is a type of debater that that is designed to always win the arguments and probably could argue from both sides.
And it's a skill set that is I've only seen a few people capable of Gore Vidal was one of the great polemicists uh on the left, and Christopher Hitchens was a good one.
There's others out there that come and go and they're they've been here and there.
Uh William F. Buckley probably, even though he was uh kind of a show off because he was more interested in expressing uh his vocabulary and showing it off.
But uh Kirk was one of the best, and he and he uh had developed it, I think largely through trial and error by doing a lot of these these events with the students for the last ten years.
And he got who knows w what his future was, but it was not gonna be minor.
And uh he was I this whole thing, if it was caused by a trans a trans issue, that's kind of a um uh like there should have been better reasons to uh shoot him.
Yeah, but that wasn't my question.
What was your question?
I lost track of it.
Yeah, clearly.
Do you consider Turning Point USA to be a political organism?
Have you ever seen a rally of Charlie Charlie Kirk's?
I've watched this stuff on t on video.
But he wasn't there like just shilling for Republicans or the Conservative Party.
Well, he wasn't shilling for anybody.
He was lecturing people.
Lecturing them on what?
On truth.
No, he was lecturing well, there's that element.
But he was lecturing them on countering liberal ideas that are put to them.
Their basis for thinking the way they do and countering it in a very effective way.
By confronting it and having public debates.
Right.
So m cultural.
Cultural.
Because that's what he talked about.
All his answers were about cultural issues that he disagreed with.
And uh as far as I can tell, what that turned into when Trump came along was here's the guy you want to vote for.
But I'm pretty sure that this was a faith organization.
Well, you can say that, but the fact that the Trump administration and the Trump people themselves say if it wasn't for Charlie Kirk, they wouldn't have gotten the youth vote, and Charlie Kirk was a big part of their campaign.
Yes.
But that seems political to me.
But that's not what the organization was.
I'm not I'm not disagreeing.
No, you asked me if what you asked me, and I answered what I answered.
Okay.
And you I know you like to see it as just purely a church type type of thing.
I don't see that.
No, not a church type of thing, although the outreach they had was to faith leaders everywhere.
That's really what they did.
And yes, they also tried to install people everywhere in politics that had the same message, the same meaning, the same belief, for sure.
Which I think was a very good idea.
But to call this purely political, no.
No, I disagree.
Here's uh the actress, AOC, telling us what really is going on.
What one Congresswoman was saying was yelling a Republican and said that it was Democrats' fault.
Democrats did this.
That's what we heard her say on the House floor.
I mean people can finger point all they want.
Look at the record.
Look at the actions of what we are doing.
I don't think a single person who has dedicated their entire career to preventing gun safety legislation from getting past this house has any right to blame anybody else but themselves for what is happening.
We have to stop this.
We can stop this.
And why don't we start by by acknowledging that basic common sense gun safety legislation is not taking away a gun, is not attacking the second amendment, but it is about ensuring the safety of our children, of women, of people across this country to ensure that guns and firearms do not get in the hands of people who are going to use them against human beings.
Period.
Domestic violence is one of the highest indicators of whether a person is going to to kill someone else with a gun or not.
There are so many other indicators, you know, and I think it is so deeply important that when a politician tries to blame words for an action, they need to look at their action and their record.
We, like, enough of this, this is horrific.
This is awful.
And the assassination of Charlie Kirk risks an uncorking of political chaos and violence that we cannot risk in America.
We cannot risk it.
It's amazing where she wasn't anywhere talking about the nut job who stabbed that girl, that young woman to death on the train.
Yeah, with a pen knife.
One of the highest indicators is not uh domestic violence.
It's someone who's been in jail 14 times and thought voices were talking to him.
From what I understand, the court records show they arrested that guy uh for repeatedly misusing 9-11.
And in January, his January arrest record states he responded to officers during a welfare check that he believes someone gave him man-made material that was inside his body controlling what he ate, walked, and talked.
Yeah, that's the latest.
That's an indicator of someone who's off the rails.
Yes.
That was a definitely.
We have one in Kerrville.
Stack it.
Here's uh Chicago, uh, Illinois governor uh J.B. Pritzker, who of course blames this on Trump.
My sympathy to uh Charlie Kirk's family and to Charlie Kirk, who obviously um is you know uh n become a target for somebody.
I don't know whether it's political violence, because I don't know who did it.
Uh, I know they seem to have somebody in custody.
But I will say that political violence, unfortunately, has been ratcheting up in this country.
Um, we saw the shootings, the killings in Minnesota, uh, we've seen other political violence uh occur in other states, and uh I I would just say uh it's gotta stop.
And I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country.
I think the president's rhetoric foments it.
Uh we've seen the January 6th rioters uh who clearly, you know uh have tripped uh uh a new era of political violence.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
This is another one for the list.
Put that guy on the list.
Anyway, in conclusion, this was this seemed way too professional to me.
Neck shot from the roof, bolt action sniper rifle, no trace of of the perpetrator.
Some okay, we have a picture, boo-hoo.
Uh now we have transgender anti-fascist markings on the shell case, caseings, it says I only heard yes, but that's my point.
We found that we found the hijackers' passport.
This smells.
This smells of some not just some transgender nut job.
No.
That doesn't just no.
Nothing about that feels right.
So, anyway.
Well, the guy could have been hired.
Yeah.
I mean, the job was follow the money.
Follow the money.
Exactly what that guy said.
Yeah, I think following the money is the only way to go.
And they're gonna have to they're gonna have to this end it's yeah.
You gotta they gotta try to follow the money.
This is being orchestrated.
We've noticed this before.
But it's worldwide.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it is.
And what you want to do is you want to take this group of people that didn't even exist 10 years ago, not the way it exists today, and you want to blame it on them.
It's almost like most prophecy of I'll blame it all on the black women.
You know, it's like hype them up, and we'll blame it on them.
That's what it feels like.
Um that that's it's always a distinct process possibility.
Of course, now we have uh You you brought up the uh the issues like where Europe is is subject to this.
What's the what is you think's going on with France?
Oh, well, uh I know what's going on with France.
Well, I have two clips.
What's going on with France is they are sick of uh of their government talking about sending them to war against Russia and uh and taking that money to arm up the country and the European Union and not give them the socialist stuff they want.
And their 38-hour work week.
That's why they're mad.
France falls.
100,000 people were expected to join the demonstrations, which aimed to block highways and parts of France's public infrastructure.
Outgoing interior minister Bruno Retailleau said 80,000 security forces had been deployed across the country.
In Paris, a fire broke out in a building, and several firefighters were sent to the scene.
Demonstrators voiced frustration after President Macron appointed a new prime minister on Monday, the fifth since his second term began in 2022.
Mr. Macron doesn't seem to understand that this is not just a clash of heads.
We have them, but that's what politics is.
We want it to be said clearly.
His agenda is against France, against the French, against the people.
For example, look at the situation in the hospitals.
They can't cope anymore.
Many people are losing their jobs.
I work in education.
I see teachers losing their jobs, something I've never witnessed before.
We can't take it anymore.
We are facing a very deep social crisis.
I believe that today there is enormous anger among the people.
She earns 1,600 euros, but pays 800 euros in rent.
She is raising her daughter alone.
I've made some research about what's happening.
To me, I realize that our future is at stake.
I had to come out to defend my future, to defend this society, and to defend my homeland.
If it continues like this, I honestly hope things change before I turn 40.
Is that an AI voiceover that I'm hearing there?
I can't tell.
This protest was scheduled in July and was highly anticipated in the country.
The Prime Minister decided to pull a confidence vote two days before the demonstration in a move to reaffirm the French people's trust in his policies.
The move backfired against him and led to the fall of the government last Monday.
So the way they start off the report is like, well, he put in a new prime minister they don't like.
That's the way it sounded to me.
Who did this report?
This was uh I think this was NTD.
Yeah, I think it was.
I don't have I didn't make it no edit, sorry.
Let's play part two.
However, the protest itself is dividing the French people.
The original poll to demonstrate it came from grassroots movements, much like the Yellow West movement demanding lower taxes, but was later claimed by leftist political figures, which then turned it into a nationwide blockade led by unions and leftist groups.
The protest where I'm standing at the moment in Paris as a main protest has been organized under the slogan anti-fascism and anti-Racism block, which has little to do with the original poll to demonstrate.
So while the protest shows a strong challenge to the government, it also reveals fractures among the French people.
The president appointed a close ally as his new Prime Minister Sebastian Lucornu, who took office on Wednesday, facing the same challenge to reign in France's ballooning debt as his predecessor.
David Vives Entity News, Paris.
Oh, that's that's interesting.
So he's oh well the leftists are doing it, which is their their word for democrats.
Um but CBC had a short, very clear report on what the problem is.
Protesters and police clashed in cities across France today.
Oh!
Police in Montpellier used water cannons and tear gas to clear demonstrators.
Protesters angry about austerity measures, obstructed highways, set fires, and barred access to some schools and offices.
They're part of a massive online movement called Block Everything.
Demonstrators say defense pol policies eat up public funds that should be used for hospitals and schools.
Nearly 300 protesters were arrested.
Ah, block everything.
Where have I heard this before?
The French are kick-ass when it comes to protests.
I mean, I still remember some years ago during during this show era where they farmers are perked about something, and they backed up these giant combines and had these things that would spray manure onto the Well, they they've been doing that with the farmer protests.
Yeah, they spray manure onto the Parliament building from a distance.
Well, which is quite quite creative.
This sounds a lot like black out the system.
Have you heard of this?
Yeah, which is coming on the 17th, which I think is going to be a huge dud.
Oh no, it'll be nothing but nice web page they put together with absolutely no information about who they are.
We're not asking, we're shutting it down.
The largest economic blackout protests in the U.S. BlackoutTheSystem.com.
And uh so they have uh speaking out against injustice, that would be minorities.
Unity and the power of the people, that would be Marxist Socialist winning together.
Well, you know what that means.
Uh why we black out the system.
We are done funding our own oppression.
We are done being silent while the system exploits us.
They're funding it.
I didn't realize they were funding it.
Divides us and works against us.
This movement is peaceful, but it's powerful.
We are using the greatest leverage we have, our unity and economic power.
They say they have no money, but to bring the system down to its knees.
No to dictatorship, no to corporate greed, no to blind obedience, no to racism and oppression, and no to fascism.
I they forgot no to Trump.
And no to everything America stands for.
But there's no um there's no uh here.
Here's what you should do.
Adjust your W four, Check your taxes.
Every paycheck they take more than you owe, then give it back without interest at tax time.
Adjust your W4 so you keep more in your pocket now instead of letting them use it all year.
Okay.
Starve the corporations.
Remove and withdraw your money from the banks.
Banks lend your money to corporations.
What do they want?
That this here, bank.
I'm looking at this website, and by the way, it's got a lot of JavaScript.
There's things are flying around.
It's pretty well done.
Told you.
Banks lend your money to corporations that purchase politicians who make policies against the people.
Regional credit unions are a better option.
Well, well, we've we've been for that.
Cancel subscriptions.
Anything unnecessary.
Cut it.
Put your money back in your pockets and drive a wedge between your resources and their products and spread the word.
Share this is from the this.
I mean, why didn't they just put it on there?
Socialist Party of America.
Oh, this is definitely a socialist party thing.
But then but there's nothing.
And become a partner.
There's no uh no donation place, no donation thing.
Which is odd, usually, you know.
Yeah, usually blue on something there.
So this is something out the blackout pledge.
Okay.
But yeah, so that's a move, and I'd say that's a that's a a global socialist move.
Well, what's yeah, and it's global because right at the bottom it says 50 states participating, 28 countries supporting.
Ah.
So what's what's what 28 countries?
What are we talking about here?
Why?
Well, they have a handy.
Who is this team?
We don't know.
We don't know who's gonna be able to do that.
Is there a link to the team?
Oh, link to the wall of stolen wages.
Welcome to the wall of stolen wages.
We're stealing.
Oh, okay.
Somehow they're being stolen.
I get it.
A lot of unhappy people.
Very good.
No, these people aren't unhappy, they're happy.
I don't know if they're happy.
I really don't know.
I think they're happy.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
All right, so I think you have a couple clips as well.
This uh Israel targeting Hamas in Qatar.
Demanding an end to Israel's war in Gaza, demonstrators shouted angrily at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as his vehicle made its way through a crowd north of Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu making clear today, nothing has changed in his mind after yesterday's stunning Israeli strike into Qatar, targeting the leadership of Hamas.
And I say to Qatar and all nations who harbor terrorists.
What?
Targeting and missing in his mind after yesterday's stunning Israeli strike into Qatar, targeting the leadership of Hamas.
And I say to Qatar and all nations who harbor terrorists, you either expel them or you bring them to justice.
Because if you don't, we will.
Yesterday's strike, which caught even the United States off guard, left a number of Hamas members dead, though Hamas says its leadership survived.
But the attack has upended attempts at a ceasefire to the nearly two-year war and its reinvigorated pushback against Israel.
Europe needs to do more.
In Strasbourg, France today, European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
We will propose sanctions on the extremist ministers and on violent settlers.
And we will also propose a partial suspension of the Association Agreement on trade-related matters.
Straight condemnation for the strike into Qatar, meanwhile, continued on a number of other fronts.
Meanwhile, in Saudi Arabia.
Well, not for Gunadin.
We reject and condemn Israel's aggressions on Qatar, said Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, Adding.
This attack requires an Arab Islamic and international response to confront such aggression.
We stand with Qatar.
Very like Qatar.
Very what's that?
The Saudis don't even like Qatar.
So we do so do we know that Trump didn't give the good the go-ahead behind the scenes.
Well, he said it was plausible deniability and has nothing to do with this.
I didn't well, I don't know what this guy's because the guy's nuts.
Well, President Trump said he did not know about it until briefly before, and then told the Qataris that it was coming.
That's the official word.
From boots on the ground in Doha.
Uh local concern about this uh was about sovereignty, not about Hamas leadership.
Nobody here cares or likes Hamas.
Uh Qatar just agreed, this is boots on the ground, just agreed to try to mediate knowing Hamas is insincere in all talks.
And also note that not one country has suggested pulling out of the Abram Accords with Israel since the war began.
Nor do they care about the attack on Iran.
So this is again from Qatar.
Separately, a significant number of those reported killed in Gaza are Hamas fighters and family members.
In general, uh there's indifference towards death outside the Western world.
That's probably true.
Maybe they look at death differently than we do.
We see it as kind of crappy.
Well, you know, there was an agre the pro the reason Trump has to stay completely plausible deniability position.
He needs to be in that position because the United States is the one who set up Qatar to be the Doha, you know, where you have the Hamas can be there so we can do negotiations with him and they they can be safe.
Well, right, it looks pretty bad.
But they haven't done any any negotiations, so let's bomb the hell out of them or kill them while they're there.
I this whole thing is very suspect.
Oh, so you think Trump knew?
I do think he knew.
I because I stick it with the thing that we're running Israel.
They're not running us.
No, I don't I don't think they're running uh if anything, I think they this is why I think they may have gone too far.
I I I just don't see it.
Well, let's see, this France 24 report has I think something about it.
A show of solidarity from regional leaders, the president of the United Arab Emirates and Crown Prince of Jordan are in Qatar Wednesday, a day after Israel's attack on its soil.
The Qatari Prime Minister said Tuesday, it would not be cut off in its efforts to mediate a deal between Israel and Hamas, but didn't let Israel off the hook.
And we'll saw the mediation in Qatari diplomacy is part of our identity.
Here will continue.
Nothing will deter us from carrying out this role.
Does the world need a clearer message than this?
Who is closing the door to peace?
Does the international community need a louder signal?
Who is the bully in this region?
Hamas, who were discussing the Trump administration's latest ceasefire proposal in Doha when they were struck, said that Targeting showed Israel didn't want to reach an agreement.
Meanwhile, Israeli hostage family members expressed alarm that the attack sabotaged any hope for those still being held by Hamas.
President Trump, meanwhile, attempted damage control, issuing a rare rebuke to Israel and calling Qatar, which is home to the largest American military base in the Middle East.
A strong US ally and friend Arab countries are increasingly concerned about Israel's belligerence, and the attack risks undermining U.S. credibility in the region.
I think this this is uh the final nail in the coffin of uh any kind of negotiations that is taking place between Israel and Hamas as far as it is mediated by Qatar.
Uh Qatar has always been the diplomatic channel of these negotiations.
Uh and uh it does not intend to pay a direct price by playing this role.
And if that's uh uh that is obviously the kind of consequence that also Netanyahu and Israeli government probably expect to happen.
On Wednesday, Israel warned that its enemies were not safe anywhere, and that if it hadn't succeeded in kidding Hamas leaders this time, it would the next.
Yeah, it just seems like it's our negotiators, it's our idea, it's our proposal, we've got a base there, and then Trump's gonna go, yeah, okay, go ahead, kill him, and then they Don't kill him.
Well, that's the thing that probably irked Trump.
And Trump didn't go ahead and say that.
Like I said, he's in he's in a position of plausible denial.
But you know, he didn't know he's got nothing to do with it.
Trump is a politician at this point in his life, and this sort of thing can go on.
So what to what what was the what was the end game?
What was the benefit that's going to be a good thing?
Well, we've given up.
The end game is that we've given up.
And on do it dealing with Hamas.
Hamas is just either us to be completely wiped out.
It's just an impasse.
They won't negotiate in with good faith.
And the negotiations they do and they lie.
They're just a terrible group of people, and they the Palestinians support him.
It's nothing.
They're just gonna have to let this play out.
I don't know.
I it's beyond me.
I think it's beyond Trump.
It's beyond everybody.
Well, for sure.
They kept Iran out of it, and then maybe that'll maybe that'll help.
Yeah, maybe.
You got anything?
I did have a, I think I may have a ICC rebuke.
Oh, well, this is different.
This is from uh this is actually a clip.
This started a while ago.
The ICC is going after Netanyahu, which is I there may be something here that that applies.
Let's play this clip.
Israel released footage on Wednesday of terrorists fleeing as an Israeli tank approached them in the Gaza Strip.
Many of them attempted to take cover in this tunnel entrance, but Israel struck the area before one of the terrorists was able to make it inside.
Israel also released an infographic showing where they established security zones along the Gaza Strip border.
And after Operation Gideon's chariots, they increased that security zone, and Israel now controls about 75% of the Gaza Strip.
A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces said that Operation Gideon's chariots enabled them to increase operations in Gaza's largest city.
We will deepen the damage to Hamas in Gaza City.
A stronghold of governmental and military terror for the terrorist organization.
We are not waiting.
We have begun the preliminary action.
And already now, IDF troops are holding the outskirts of Gaza City.
On Wednesday, Israel said they were calling up 60,000 reservists to report for duty, and that they were extending current orders for 20,000 reservists who were already deployed.
Meanwhile, the Israeli government gave the final approval for plans to begin construction of a new settlement east of Jerusalem.
Thousands of homes are expected to be built in an area that would nearly divide the West Bank into two parts.
An Israeli officials said the new settlement would quote bury the idea of a Palestinian state.
A representative of the Bedouin community in the West Bank said they received demolition orders for buildings in the area about a week ago.
And he called on the international community to prevent Israel from establishing the new settlement in the West Bank.
And then another development, the U.S. Department of State issued further sanctions against two judges and two deputy prosecutors belonging to the International Criminal Court, which is supported by the United Nations.
What a waste of money that thing is.
No one cares.
No one adheres to your stupid court.
International Criminal Court.
Well, they're always hoping it takes hold.
Yeah.
How long has that been?
30 years they've been trying?
Forever.
No one cares about it.
There's a second part to this.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, quote, the court is a national security threat that has been an instrument for lawfare against the United States and for our close ally, Israel.
The decision comes after the court issued arrest warrants for Israeli officials over the war in the Gaza Strip.
And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a post on X praised the U.S. decision and accused the court of conducting a smear campaign against Israel and the Israel defense forces.
On the other hand, the United Nations said the sanctions, quote, undermine the foundation of international justice.
Woo, international justice.
Yeah, there's international justice in the world.
International part is the problem.
Yeah, there's no international nothing.
It's all men for everyone for himself at the end of the day.
So I've been Well, That's not the that's not the plan.
No, that's not the plan.
But the new world order is not coming to fruition the way they ever wanted it to.
They've been trying that all my life, too.
Oh, the new world order.
Here it comes.
Yes.
And the Antichrist is arising.
Yes.
Um.
So I've been following this story in Germany, and uh there was really no clips or anything on it.
This is about the sudden deaths of many of the AFD alternative for Deutschland.
Oh, yes, this is a story, then there's gotta be some clips on this.
All of a sudden, all of a sudden.
Well, all of a sudden is not entirely true, but yeah, okay.
Well, all of a sudden, kind of.
A bunch, you know, there were over time.
They've been sh taking out these AFD guys.
Yeah.
Well, one after the other.
What do you think?
Well, let's listen to the Euro News Verify, verifies.
Without evidence, verify.
As many as six candidates for the far-right alternative for Germany party have died in recent weeks ahead of local elections in the state of North Rhine Westphalia.
And it's prompted unfounded suspicions on social media.
On September the 14th, district, municipal and city councils, as well as some mayors will be elected in the Western German state.
With a reported 20,000 candidates running for office.
Police have ruled out any foul play in relation to these six deaths.
The causes ranged from serious pre-existing conditions to suicide.
A senior official from Alternative for Germany itself has also dismissed speculation that these deaths were in any way intentional.
But there have also been clear attempts to sow conspiracy and suspicions.
The party's leader, Alice Videl, shared a post on X where another user describes the death toll as statistically almost impossible.
This theory has been amplified on social media and by controversial public figures.
Here, British far-right activist Tommy Robinson asks, what's going on?
And the billionaire owner of X, Elon Musk, comments, weird.
Conservative publications have also misleadingly described the deaths as mysterious or unexpected.
The North Rhine Westfalia Ministry of the Interior has said that candidates from other parties have also died in the electoral campaign, but that these deaths have not sparked the same and founded suspicions.
The deaths do mean that ballot papers issued in certain constituencies, as well as some male-in votes are now invalid.
It also means the party will have to nominate new candidates to replace the deceased.
So my takeaway from this, in the most vaccinated country in Europe, pretty much, locked down like dogs forever.
20,000 candidates.
You know, this is, it's not like the national parliament elections here.
This is all small elections all over the country.
Yeah.
The suicide one I'd like to know more about but But you know, twenty thousand people die.
I'm a little less suspicious than I was.
Oh, so you think it's just a va bunch of vax deaths.
Yeah, probably.
Uh uh, and you know, it's clickbait, it's a good clickbait.
Elon Musk, weird.
Hmm, weird.
Stay on X. What a comment.
Stay on X, it's weird.
Yes, it's very, very weird.
And we also got a uh this was this was kind of fun.
Uh, this is about the GPS jamming of Queen Ursula's jet, which I think we pretty much pulled apart for you on the last show.
They do the same here, but yeah, they gotta leave some doubt in the verify segment from Euronews.
Reports that European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen's plane was targeted by Russian GPS jamming as she travelled to the Bulgarian city of Plovdiv on the 31st of August have sparked major speculation.
The Financial Times first broke the story on the first of September, reporting that von der Leon's plane circled Plovdev Airport for an hour using paper maps to land.
We have received uh uh information from the Bulgarian authorities uh that uh they suspect uh uh that this was due to blatant interference by uh Russia.
But days later on the 4th of September, Bulgaria's Deputy Prime Minister Grozdan Karajov denied That the government has submitted any information about Russian interference to the European Commission.
In an apparent attempt to backpedal on those initial claims, the country's Prime Minister Rosen Zelaskov said there was no evidence of prolonged interference or jamming of the GPS signal around Plovdev airports.
The Prime Minister later said that although no jamming had been detected by ground instruments, this didn't exclude the possibility of onboard devices detecting jamming.
Analysts from Flight Radar 24 told Euroverify that according to their data, the aircraft maintained a good GPS signal throughout the flight.
Their data also contradicted the Financial Times assertion that the aircraft circled Plovdiv for an hour, as flight records reveal that the aircraft landed only a few minutes late.
Although there are a plethora of doubts surrounding this incident, Moscow has intensified GPS jamming targets in planes and ships.
Primarily targeting the area surrounding the Baltic Sea.
Right, so I play these back to back because if I don't believe one, why would I believe the other?
What horse crap that is, verify.
Well, you know, there's no evidence, and uh the GPS data shows through ADSB that there's no evidence, but you know, Russia's been doing this.
They want war so bad.
Please give us war.
Whatever you do, and this well, that'll straighten out the French economy.
Oh, it'll oh it's they need it for that very reason.
Germany has everything's kaput, to speak in a good German word.
Caput.
They've got no energy, they got no industry, they've turned the car factories into building tanks and planes and other stuff.
They they need this war, and which of course puts this Russian drones in Poland into a suspicious light.
And Nathan we have more geopolitical news this morning related to the war in Ukraine.
Poland has shot down drones that crossed into its territory during a Russian air strike on Ukraine.
The Polish military calling it an act of aggression, and the country's premier is asking NATO allies for support.
Bloomberg Daybreak Europe anchor Stephen Carroll is in Brussels and joins us live with the details.
Good morning, Stephen.
Good morning, Karen and Nathan.
Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his country's airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones in the early hours of this morning.
Airports were closed for several hours while citizens in the east were told to stay indoors.
It's the first time the NATO member has shot down military aircraft that have strayed into its airspace since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The EU's foreign affairs chief Kaya Kalas says the incursion appears to be intentional.
Polish Prime Minister has asked NATO to invoke Article 4 of its treaty, which triggers consultations on a military response.
Oh no, Article 4.
We're DEF CON 4.
Oh boy, what does Queen Ursula have to say?
We have seen a reckless and unprecedented violation of Poland and Europe's airspace by more than 10 Russian Shahid drones.
Europe stands in full solidarity with Poland.
Yeah, war!
Woo!
We can do it!
Come on, everybody!
We got chat, we got uh Article 4.
Article 4, and we're just one away from far away.
One away to drag us our ass into the whole thing.
Well, that's what they want for sure.
I have a drones in Poland clip to see if there's anything different.
Okay, drones in Poland.
Russian drones reportedly entered Polish airspace on Wednesday.
Poland says it shut them down with the backing of military aircraft from its NATO allies.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says it's the closest the country has been to open conflict since World War II.
We are most likely dealing with a large-scale provocation.
But at the same time, we are in consultation with our allies.
I am in constant contact with the NATO Secretary General.
Prime Minister activated Article 4 of NATO's treaty under which a line Wow, nice way.
He activated Article 4.
Is there like is that a button that he has to push?
Um everybody, I am Mark Rutte.
I'm activating Article 4.
Contact with the NATO Secretary General.
Prime Minister activated Article 4 of NATO's treaty, under which alliance members can demand consultation with their allies.
The head of NATO says the organization is still assessing the situation.
A full assessment of the incident is ongoing.
What is clear is that a violation last night is not an isolated incident.
Russia, meanwhile, denies the allegations.
It's not isolated because of that other drone that they that they the Ukrainian that actually said was not a Russian was not from Russia.
Remember that?
That was just two weeks ago.
Right.
Yeah.
Even the Ukrainians say no that I wasn't from Russia.
But it's ongoing.
Engage Article 4.
What is clear is that a violation last night is not an isolated incident.
Russia, meanwhile, denies the allegations.
The country's defense ministry issued a statement saying its drones carried out a major attack on military facilities in Western Ukraine, adding that it had not planned to hit any targets in Poland.
But Poland's Minister of Foreign Affairs says he doesn't believe that.
Warning of possible escalation.
Even though NATO is not at war, Russian aggression strikes beyond Ukraine.
The United Nations is now warning of a possible wider conflict.
The regional impact and real risk of expansion of this devastating conflict.
The incident comes just a few days after a meeting between President Trump and the President of Poland.
Some U.S. troops are stationed in Poland during the meeting.
Trump was asked if the soldiers are scheduled to stay there.
"If anything, we'll put more there if they want, but they've long wanted to have a larger presence.
We have some countries that have more, not too many, but they'll be staying in Poland." We're very much aligned with Poland.
But wasn't Trump the guy when they get all these guys out of the world?
You know, we had these bases everywhere.
What happened to that?
Well, he's selling all the stuff now.
I have um I have a couple of clips from uh our guy analyzing this.
Oh, your buddy.
Yes, right.
The Canadian guy.
The Canadian, Andrew Sulis.
What do you make of Russia's actions?
Do you believe that this was intentional, or as Belarus says, it was all an accident?
It could be a combination of the two, really.
I think we have to look at what's happening strategically.
The Russians are mounting a the beginning of their fall offensive.
They have decided that they will not be able to reach a compromise deal or ideal that is in their favor with the Ukrainians through any kind of negotiation at present.
So they are now on a war path.
They are now increasing their war effort against Ukraine, both on the ground and in the air.
And this was a continual range of large-scale attacks against Ukraine.
Now the question is were these missiles, which sometimes do fly close to the Polish border in order to hit uh Western Ukraine.
Was this, as the Belarusians are saying, a jamming exercise?
Because they would be try the Ukrainians would be jamming them.
So that's a possibility.
We'll have to see what the investigations are.
The other one, you know, if we want to speculate, is the Russians are uh continuing to signal to NATO and Western uh countries that you know don't think about putting boots on the ground in Ukraine because we're prepared to take you on.
So that's a more aggressive interpretation.
I'm not saying that's what it is, but it could be to show look, we're gonna test your air defenses in case one day we may have to fight you if you put your boots on the ground, which we've told you not to do.
So this is what I think what's going on here.
We don't know the ground truth yet, but the investigations hopefully will reveal that.
I find the coincidence of um Ursula clearly lying about GPS jamming, and now, well, the Ukrainians might have been just there's too much jamming talk going on.
You know, I agree.
And the thing that might also be going on because it's doable, is that you can if you can figure out what these signals are that are.
Take control of the take control of it.
Take control of the drones and then drive them over to Poland and drop them in a in a bunch of fields.
That's just basically what happened.
Yeah, well, here's um here he's talking about Article 4.
We've engaged Article 4.
So tell us more then about NATO's actions moving forward, as we mentioned Poland is on high alert.
They have triggered now Article 4, which means an emergency meeting of NATO allies, which of course includes the United States, President Trump.
What will happen, do you think next?
Well, this is all about uh firming up uh NATO's eastern defense of uh its territories, the eastern flank, which of course includes includes Canada.
Uh Canada has the brigade uh in Latvia, for example, very close to all of this.
But so this means that NATO is taking now whatever steps are necessary to beef up its air defenses and its ground defenses as well.
But really, we're now we're talking air defense systems in case there are any further incursions.
So it's a bit of a ramp up.
This is not a panic, but this is uh Article 4, which has now been activated, is a consultative mechanism.
It's been come it's been activated a few times before.
It is a logical stepstone, part of controlled escalation or counter-escalation, if you will.
And so um we'll have to wait and see, but it's everything is under control right now.
It's um it's interesting, it's tense, but under control.
I feel so much more comfortable when he says that.
Everything's okay.
Article four is just a zoom meeting, people.
Don't get your panties in a bunch.
We're just gonna have a little bit of basically what he said.
We're gonna also but he also said it's been uh implemented before.
I'd like to know when.
Oh, that's a good question.
I mean, that's the first thing I'd ask.
Oh, it's been implemented before under what circumstances.
I think in 2022.
Well, you think.
No, I'm pretty sure.
Uh 2022 Article 4.
I'm pretty sure.
Um just before probably asked your friend, your buddy there, you your error.
She would probably know if you asked her.
I would say the question would be how many times has Article 4 been implemented by NATO and when Article 4 been implemented.
Oh, voice connection lost.
Hold on.
Okay.
How many times has Article 4 been implemented by NATO and when NATO's Article 4 has been invoked eight times total since 1949?
Here's the rundown.
First in 2003 over Iraq security concerns, then Turkey in 2003 for Cyprus, again Turkey in 2006, amid Israeli-Lebanon tensions, Romania and others in 2008, after Russia's Georgia invasion, Poland in 2014, during Ukraine's crisis.
Multiple allies, like Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, in February 2022, post-Russia's Ukraine attack, and most recently, Poland yesterday, September 10th, 2025, over those Russian drone incursions.
Each one's basically a heads-up for talks, not full on action.
What's with the breathiness?
Boy, that was a good report.
I'm gonna give her a you can moan and grunt about her breathiness, but I ain't giving her ten points for that.
That that took care of it.
But she didn't say 2022, did she?
I didn't hear her.
Yeah, she didn't.
Yeah, she did.
Okay, 2022.
Oh no.
Oh no.
I'm impressed.
Oh no.
Um, here's the final clip.
So the question is, of course, what are the options if it was intentional?
If it is determined through an investigation.
That this was intentional.
Then what does NATO do?
And and and actually, Andrew, can that be determined?
I'm not an expert on on uh on these uh on these systems and how they they look at their guidance systems, but they have the pieces in Poland.
So the experts will look at it and they will make some kind of determination.
There's also radar, the uh the flight plans, you know.
You can say these systems.
The Russians are saying systems uh were not long range, they couldn't have reached pol uh uh Ukrainian territory.
They had to be like the way they were going, and so they were deflected.
I mean, that's an argument, right?
So the experts will look at flight plans.
They will look at the the actual substance of the drones that they have found in Poland and try to put together a peace.
So I will not stay away from the technical analysis, but on a military political military point of view, NATO will take this as a need to strengthen its defenses and remain on guard.
But this is huh.
Strengthen its defenses by spending money.
Oh, well, of course.
This is that's what it's always about.
So I will not stay away from the technical analysis, but on a military political military point of view, NATO will take this as a need to strengthen its defenses And remain on guard.
But but this is not to go to war with Russia because Russia clearly at this point for sure is not going to war with Poland and NATO.
Uh so we're not at that level at all.
But we are playing aggressive because of the war in Ukraine.
We come back.
This is all about Russia trying to defeat the Ukrainians in a substantial way to get what they want from Ukraine for presumably, I think by 2025, the end of the year.
The Russians are really putting on the pressure now.
Putin is not serious all about a ceasefire.
And he actually made that point to uh to Trump in Alaska.
He wanted a peace settlement first before a ceasefire.
That's very clear from the Russian position.
Now, what does that mean?
That means the Russians want a peace settlement on terms favorable to their objectives.
And until they get then Ukrainians are saying no.
So the Russians are saying, well, then more war until we can convince you, the Ukrainians, through military action, to come our way.
That's it's a it's uh it's a knock them sock them war right now to see who prevails.
Knock them suck them.
Rock'em sock them robots, everybody.
Yeah.
Well, the significance of Poland is not lost on me, historically speaking.
You know, and Germany invaded.
Oh, yeah.
That started World War II, in essence.
Uh well, of course, what would always be good is we could have a nice little world world war one assassination of some Duke somewhere.
Something they don't need much.
They really don't need much.
And America always enters late into these things.
We weren't there at the beginning of World War One, World War II.
No, we were late on both.
Now, in this case, you know, be careful of the be wary of the military industrial complex.
Follow that money.
Especially with drones, Eric Schmidt.
You know.
But who's controlling the drone?
Who knows how to control other people's drones?
This whole drone thing is.
I think the drone warfare with the with the con taking control of other people's drones through uh espionage, you can find out what their codes are, I'm sure.
Uh you could get in I i I think that's a a b a bigger threat than the drones themselves.
Well yes.
Well, the whole drone thing is just no good.
But can you imagine just even a uh one of these air shows where you have all the drones that make this the designs in the sky, they're pretty spectacular.
And taking control of that and then d driving those, you know, 10 or 20 or 30,000 drones into the crowd.
This is what you're imagining.
And also, what what is never really well explained is these drones.
Uh I mean, what size are they?
Are these ones in Poland?
Yeah.
Yes.
Well, they said they were they said there was Shahids.
Shahid, okay.
Picture of the in the report.
Shh that's Iranian drone?
Yeah, it's an Iranian drone.
So let me see what that's what they said.
Right.
Well, of course.
It's the we have to do that.
Oh, then that's one of those Delta Wing uh deals.
That's that's the Shahid drone.
Oh, that's the good-looking one.
It's a very handsome drone.
Handsome drone.
And the other report I heard about these drones was that they don't know that they were armed.
They th they say they've maybe maybe not been armed, which would led lead credence to the analysis that the Russians are just testing the which would leads credence that the Russians did it on purpose and just to test the air defenses.
That's a possibility.
Man, what kind what kind of world war do you have when everyone's just using drones on each other?
No, it's not gonna be it's gonna be unpleasant.
Every war that there's been so far, the big ones, uh all of them.
Well, they've all been unpleasant.
None of them are.
Well, they've all been unpleasant, but they've all, you know, they've gone from the you know these things that the catapults to to b crossbows to one different kinds of uh you know uh flanks, uh feed uh f phalanx uh designed uh attacks, uh horses with you know stirrups.
I mean, every little in increase in um in technology, how minor it might be, always results in a war to test it out.
Ah, exactly.
There it is.
Yeah, it's a show.
It's it's basically an air show.
Well, it takes care of a number of problems.
When you get rid Of a bunch of people because you want population control because you're dutz.
And the other thing is it it improves your economy.
It gets everybody on the same page.
It creates nationalism, which you need to keep your society going.
It's just it's a plus, it's a win-win.
Yeah.
Well, isn't it always I mean from that's I by say that facetiously the win-win part because it's not a win-win at all, but it's a win-win.
Isn't aren't all wars basically banker wars?
Whenever we're in uh financial problems globally, isn't that when the wars usually start?
Well, I think if you go back in history, the the banker aspect was minor.
I think the bankers' benefits modern modern history.
I mean, well, there were the there is a lot of discussion in the left wing when I was uh going to a left wing school at Berkeley.
Yes.
Uh they would discuss uh the World War One is a war that we shouldn't have not got involved in because it was a bankers' war.
It was the bankers of England that got us to join them to to turn the tide of the war, which we to pay for it, to pay for it.
and help finance it, we're good at that.
The element was in play.
Right.
But if you just look at the financial situation of of the world where every every all money is fake and phony, all of it.
It's all fake.
It's all just made up of derivatives of debt, debt, debt, debt, or credit, and no matter which way, which is whatever side you're on.
I mean, how else can everybody get out of this hole?
We need a war, a reset.
That's your great reset right there.
Well, that would definitely take care of the uh deficit.
Yeah.
Sadly, but yeah.
Well, that's that's a good thought.
I'll take stable coin over war any day.
Yeah.
Well, you any day may be part of fact, stable coin may be part of the mechanism that creates the war.
Uh very possible, but I'm hopeful it isn't.
Yeah, well, you Yeah, well, exactly.
Hey, by the way, another thing that is poorly covered, I could only get uh one of my favorite uh Indian voices to talk about it, is the uprising in Nepal.
Have you seen the mess that's going on there?
No.
This one you you got me on there.
Oh, yes.
Well, she pronounces it funny, but here we go.
It's chaos in the Himalayas, the tiny Himala Himalayas.
Himalayas, it's a Himalayas.
Chaos in the Himalayas.
It's chaos in the Himalayas, the tiny country of Nepal has been gripped by violence.
The Parliament was on fire, ministers were thrashed on the streets, the Supreme Court was torched, and the capital of Kartmandu was overrun.
What?
This wasn't just a protest, it was a total upheaval.
The biggest exit came around noon today.
Prime Minister K. P. Sarma only announced his resignation.
He simply couldn't hang on.
Oli had unleashed a crackdown on Monday.
It was the worst in Nepal's recent history.
Nineteen protesters were killed, plus at least 100 were injured.
And today the backlash was evident.
Thousands of protesters hit the streets of Nepal.
Oli's own private residence was torched.
The Prime Minister had no choice.
He announced his resignation later in the day.
He said he was quitting to allow a political solution to the crisis.
Soon afterwards, an army helicopter was seen over his house.
It ferried Oli away from the chaos.
To where?
But nobody knows yet.
But what exactly is the root of this crisis and how did it escalate so fast?
The trigger was a social media ban.
Last week Kartmang blocked 26 online platforms, including Instagram and Facebook.
In response, thousands of young Nepalese hit the streets.
Now Nepal, as it would know, is a young country.
Around 43% of the population is below 40 years of age.
So the protesters were largely Gen Z. There you go.
Why Gen Z has taken over the streets in Nepal.
Yeah.
The Paul Protests, the Gen Z protest in Nepal, urgent or is organic or deep state regime change.
Oh, well, there's an age.
There were a lot of professionally printed signs.
So that that to me Was like, uh-huh, okay.
But blocking 26 social media sites.
That's when people lose their crap.
That's what I keep telling.
If you really want to upset Americans, you know.
That's why Trump couldn't follow through with banning TikTok.
Yes.
He either killed their dogs, that's how Trump won.
Back in 2019, he was gonna ban TikTok.
Now really almost ten years later.
No, you can't do that.
You can't do that.
The Americans care about two things.
You win the election by saying they're eating the dogs.
That's how you win an election.
You lose if you take away their TikTok, or anything for that matter.
Anything.
Right in time for the brand new Apple iPhones.
Apple unveiled new iPhones, AirPods, and watches today.
The new iPhone 17 has a faster chip, better scratch resistant, screen, and comes in new colors.
At 799.
The Pro version has a new design, a better Zoom, and a bigger battery.
And it's the most expensive at $1,099.
And the new brand new iPhone Air is a thinner version of the flagship iPhone.
It starts at $999.
The new Apple Watch Series 11 will be able to alert users to possible high blood pressure.
And new AirPods Pro 3 include heart rate sensing and improved noise cancellation.
All the new products will be available September 19th.
Yeah, hello, 2015 called Apple.
They want their new iPhones back.
This company are they are they crazy?
They promise AI for a whole year and a half.
Oh no, that's not coming.
We're not gonna do that.
Well, it's thin.
It's thin.
Yeah.
The accuracy the actual weight of the of the iPhone 17 Air is the same weight as the iPhone 11.
Is that right?
Yeah, they've just packed more crap and made them big.
These phones are also huge.
They're huge.
Women can barely hold them in their hands anymore.
Well, the bigger they are, the easier they are to steal.
Yeah, well, that's that's true.
Uh but thing things are going crazy in technology.
This this How crazy are they going?
Well, I'm glad you asked.
I have a two-parter about Oracle.
And let's get a business update now with Charlotte Peligran, beginning with uh Elon Musk briefly losing his position as the world's richest person.
That's right, Oliver.
It was brief, but it did happen on Wednesday.
Tech billionaire Larry Ellison overtock overtook Musk in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index after Oracle, business software company, he has a 41% stake in, saw its shares surge after releasing better than expected financial forecasts.
At one point, those shares rose more than 40% before closing the session up almost 36% at over $328 a share.
So that meant the 81-year-old shot up to the top of the rankings uh for a bit with a net worth much larger uh than the entire GDP of Nigeria this year, for instance.
Uh but this Thursday, uh Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, uh took his place back at the top of the rankings, dominated by the men that control the largest U.S. tech firms, as you can see there, like Mark Zuckerberg at Meta and third place Bezos at Amazon, or Larry Page, uh, one of the founders at Google.
Worth noting that Ellison and Musk have a close relationship.
Some saying Ellison was a bit of a mentor.
Uh two Musk sitting on the board at Tesla for four years and providing financial assistance um for uh Musk to buy Twitter in 2022.
Uh they also they also share similar politics.
Yep.
So first of all, the robber barons, a clear list.
There you go.
It's all tech guys.
But the but this Oracle's share surging was mania.
This is pretty funny.
This is the second part of the report.
So what was behind this sudden surge in Oracle's shares and in Ellison's net worth.
So well, an earnings call.
With analysts that left all of uh Wall Street slack chod using words like blown away, blown away momentous or in shock.
The software companies said it actually missed its earnings and revenue targets uh for the quarter, but it was its forecasts, which really show Wowed everyone, uh specifically on its cloud infrastructure business.
Oracle said it had signed uh four multi-billion dollar contracts in that sector with three different customers uh this quarter, one of which with uh Chad GPT maker OpenAI to develop to develop over uh four gigawatts of US data center uh capacity.
It's predicting that its cloud business will boom over the next four years, uh generating $18 billion in revenue this year and reaching, as you can see there, 144 billion dollars in fiscal 2030.
Nevertheless, this is there is some risk there, notably with the open AI deal, the startup might be a huge name and generating a lot of excitement, but it's not expected to generate any profit before 2029.
Dude, this is pets.com level.
Miss their earnings, miss the revenue.
It's not even close.
It's way beyond pets.com.
It's not even close to pets.
Pets.com was a short-term flash in the pan.
Interesting idea, which actually probably wasn't a bad idea.
I could have made money, but this is ridiculous.
And the the thing about pushing it out to 2029 is the thing that's a real it's just hilarious.
But all of I mean, I can't wait and see what's going on.
And the amount of money they're talking about to be a good thing.
149 billion.
Yeah, it it's we're talking about you know, Defense Department levels.
Yes.
Yeah.
With no product.
It's no.
And all that Ellison has ever said is well, just imagine that uh there's a couple pictures of him floating around.
You know, the guy's like 82 now.
He's up here.
And he's got a Cheshire cat green.
It doesn't even look like him anymore.
It's like uh he's just got well, I did it because Larry's thing back in the 80s when Bill Gates was the was the richest man in the world.
Yeah.
Uh he was always this was known in the valley, kind of if you knew ever was in this this milieu.
Ellison was irked as hell at that Bill Gates, who he thought was an idiot, was the richest man in the world, and he thought he should be the richest man in the world, and he was mocked by a lot of the the locals for being, uh, he wants to be the richest man in the world.
That's all he cares about.
He's he'll never do it because Bill Gates will always outpace him because Gates is really smarter.
And he finally made it.
So he let's just go back and listen to uh this is from when was this?
This is from July when we uh when the whole uh Stargate thing was announced.
I think this is it.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Uh one of the most exciting things we're working on, you again using the tools that's uh that that Sam and Massa are providing, uh, is our cancer vaccine.
It's very interesting.
Early diagon, it turns out I'll be quick, all of our cancers, uh cancer tumors, little fragments of those tumors float around in your blood.
So you can do early cancer detection.
If you can do using AI, you can do early cancer detection with a blood test.
Uh and using a from what's that lady?
The blood test from what's her name?
Holmes.
There it is.
Elizabeth Holmes.
Uh and using AI to look at the blood test.
You can find the can the cancers that are actually seriously threatening the person.
Then beyond that, here we go.
Once we gene sequence, once we gene sequence that cancer tumor, you can then vaccinate the person, design a vaccine for every individual person to vaccinate them against that cancer.
And you can make that vaccine, the that MRNA vaccine, you can make that robotically again using AI in about 48 hours.
So imagine early cancer detection, the development of a cancer vaccine for the for your particular cancer aimed at you, and have have that vaccine available in 48 hours.
This is the promise of AI and the promise of the future.
So he's predicting 10x what he's doing now, missing the revenue and uh and uh profit targets by 2029.
Does that mean we'll have 10x the cancer?
Because clearly, if if you're doing all this, people have cancer.
Or is this all um just in case?
Well, I I'm confused because I don't know that they're doing this at all.
Well, this was this was this was during the uh Stargate launch.
This was what Oracle is doing with their AI.
This is Yeah, but where's the evidence that it's actually being implemented?
None there's none of it.
And then he had this little ditty about Stargate.
This this is great because we'll not we all have cancer, we'll also all be hunted down by the cops.
The police will be on their best behavior because we record we're constantly recording, watching and recording everything that's going on.
Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.
This is like black mirror.
Uh and it's on this is a good clip.
The the cars, the cars have camera, you know, camera cameras on them.
Everything has cameras.
We have a squad car here somewhere.
Uh but those kind of applications using AI.
If we can use AI, and we're using AI to monitor the video.
Yeah.
So if that altercation had occurred that occurred in Memphis, the chief of police would be immediately notified.
And where was the monitoring of Epstein cell with your AI, Larry?
It's not people that are looking at those cameras, it's AI that's looking at the camera.
No, no, no.
No, no.
It would be like a shooting.
That's gonna be immediately that's gonna be an event that's immediately re uh an alarm's gonna go off.
It's gonna be uh and we have a shooting.
We have a shooting.
Have supervision.
In other words, every police officer is supervised at all times.
And the supervision will uh uh and and if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate author uh uh person, whether it's the sheriff or the chief or whom whomever we need to um take control of the situation.
We have to describe he's describing a bad Simpsons episode.
So we'll all be safe, but we'll all have cancer.
I mean, come on, Larry, you can't have it both ways.
Uh MIT just came out with uh their report, the state of AI in business 2025.
We'll just take MIT.
I mean, you would you trust an MIT report?
It depends on how they document it.
I probably would.
Uh executive summary.
Despite $30 to $40 billion in enterprise investment into Gen AI, which I think uh I'm not sure what that means anymore.
This report, okay.
Was it generative?
Is it general and generative means general generative making songs on SUNO?
Is that generative art making art?
Making art.
So they spent $30 billion in enterprise investments, and we've got art.
Yeah, well, we got $30 billion worth of art for free.
$30 billion.
This report uncovers a surprising result in that 95% of organizations are getting zero return.
What?
This was we talked about this about three or four shows ago when I when JC, who's the AI expert in the family.
Yes.
Discussed the fact that a major AI company that makes a product that is important to the AI world.
They did a uh a deep dive into this and found that 1,000 out of 1,000 examples, they could not find any benefits from using AI.
The outcomes are so starkly divided across both buyers, enterprises, mid-market, small medium businesses, and builders, startups, vendors, consultancies, that we call it the Gen A divide.
Just five percent of integrated AI pilots were extracting millions in value, while the vast majority remain stuck with no measurable PL impact.
That's your balance sheet.
This divide does not seem to be driven by model quality or regulation, but seems to be determined by approach.
Tools like ChatGPT and Copilot are widely adopted.
Over 80% of organizations have explored or piloted them, and nearly 40% report deployment.
But these tools primarily enhance individual productivity, like making Art for the No Agenda show when you should be working for your boss.
Or asking error about the uh about World War II.
About about Article 4.
He gave us that information.
It was a benefit to the show.
Productivity right there.
But no PL performance.
Meanwhile, enterprise grade systems, custom or vendor sold are being quietly rejected.
Sixty percent of organizations evaluated such tools, but only 20% reached pilot stage, and just five percent reach production.
Most failed due to brittle workflows, lack of contextual learning, and misalignment with day-to-day operations.
I think that's MIT speak for it sucks.
From our interview, surveys and analysts, an analysis of 300 public int implementations, four patterns emerged to define that define the Gen A divide.
Limited disruption.
Only two of eight major sectors show meaningful structural change.
Enterprise paradox.
Ooh, that's a good one.
Big firms lead in pilot volume but lag in scale up.
Investment bias, budgets favor visible top line functions over high ROI back office, and implementation advantage.
External partnerships see twice the success rate of internal builds.
This is a very damning report.
I'd say what was that paradox phrase?
That's a good one, isn't it?
Enterprise paradox.
That's that's a show title.
Show title.
I know.
I'm writing it down.
Enterprise paradox.
Yeah.
But don't worry about it.
You know, it's making cool art.
Yeah, but by 2029, it'll shake out.
Yeah.
10x.
What's the TAM, Larry?
It's gonna be 10X.
It's gonna be beautiful.
Larry does it at the hey Larry got what he really wanted.
He doesn't now he doesn't care.
Oh, he just wants to be the richest man briefly.
He just wants to be the richest man in the world for a moment in time.
Yeah.
And he's achieved that, and so now we can just forget about it.
Uh yeah.
Gen AI divide.
Gen AI.
Is that because are we gonna see that as the next after Gen Alpha?
We have Gen AI.
Well, it's not doesn't mean generations.
No, not yet.
There'll be drinking Gatorade for the electrolytes.
No, you using it to grow crops.
Grow crops to grow crop because it has electrolytes.
Exactly.
Yes.
I I did get a boots on the ground from Carson, uh uh who is Gen Z and works at a college bookstore that sells textbooks, including digital books.
A Gen Z customer came in this semester and said the digital book we sold her didn't work.
It gets better.
She then explained that and I've seen this myself.
She then explained that she wasn't able to log into the website that the book is hosted on.
Quote, I can't remember my password, she tells me.
I guess I need to make a new account.
Now I've heard this myself.
I asked her if she'd clicked on the forgotten password button, and she stared at me as if I'd just spoken in tongues.
She clicks on the reset password link and stares at me again, like I'm the only one who can do it.
Just put your email in there so you can reset your password.
I instruct.
She had absolutely no concept of what I was explaining, and I had to hand holder through the entire thing.
Being a member of Gen Z myself, I'm ashamed of my contemporaries for not even being able to complete a basic task such as this.
However, I place the blame primarily on the parents, of course.
Um Wow, can we add that to this?
Don't know how to reach the case.
What would you call it though?
What do what's it what categories go into?
It's not simple enough to uh it's it's like uh but the what I what I have just basically a version of stupid.
I have heard this.
Oh, I guess I have to make a new account.
I've heard this.
It's like not understanding what passwords do or what they're for how they function.
I have really baffled.
Yeah.
How they function.
I mean, for one thing, you know, that's always assumed the different generations have a different uh uh relationship with uh computers, not technology in general, but just computers.
Yeah, phones, phones, phones, well and well, phones, which are computers uh in your pocket.
Um not in yours.
Nope.
It's in the drawer, and I don't need to be hooked to a computer 24-7.
So uh so they have a different relationship because there's Oh, they were brought up.
They never knew an era when there was no internet.
They never knew an era when there was no computers.
They never knew this, they never knew that.
Because they were, you know, there was an internet when they were born.
All this sort of thing.
And so we so the Zeds, which I'm gonna now call them because I like it.
Zed's Zeds, Gen Z, Gen Zed.
So they're what is just Zeds to me.
The Zeds, okay.
Um the Zeds are brought with what circumstances.
Everything was there, and they were raised with computers with the network with it with the internet, with networks, with Wi-Fi, with with cell phones, with everything, every single thing that's available out there, and they don't know how to use it.
I think in this particular case, what's happening is because of the phones.
Once you sign in to Apple or Google, that's it.
You just click sign up.
You don't do a password anymore.
You know, well, you may not know this, but that's how most phones work these days.
If you're on Android, you sign in to your Google, and everything just works.
And if it's a new app or a new website, sign in with Google, click.
And Apple kind of has the same thing, but not to that extent.
But I think everybody has a Google and just oh, just sign in with Google.
Just sign in with Google.
They don't understand in what's happening in the background, and that all your information is being sucked up by Google.
Don't they teach kids in high school how to use a computer?
No.
Yeah.
Well, sure they do.
How to stick a paperclip in it to make it blow up in class in your Chromebook.
That's what they're teaching them.
No.
No, there's no there's no uh computer, no knowledge like that.
It's called computer literacy.
They used to have a class in some schools.
You're presuming computer literacy and have you ever have you ever seen a today's typical middle school teacher?
They're not that literate on computers either.
Doesn't work.
My computer doesn't work.
How many dude named dudes named Ben do we have who've heard this?
My password doesn't work.
Well, why don't you take the caps lock off?
This happens all the time.
Yeah.
That's that is nine-tenths of the problem right there, caps lock.
All right, I gotta go back to Ursula, because did we know this or did we not know this?
We are on the brink, if not even at the start, of another global health crisis.
And as a now, a global health crisis.
Now we know that.
Of course, we're on the brink of a global health crisis because people aren't vaccinating anymore.
But this next piece, I'm not so sure I knew this.
Of another global health crisis.
And as a as a medical doctor by training.
What?
Did we know this?
Did we know that she's a medical doctor by training?
Why did I not know this?
Well, I didn't know it either.
Let's let me look her up.
What's uh what's hold on a second?
Error.
Is Ursula von der Leyen a medical doctor by training?
Yes.
Ursula von der Leyen trained as a medical doctor.
She studied at Hanover Medical School, earned her MD in 1987, and even worked as an assistant physician before jumping into politics.
Oh nurse.
Assistant physician.
Well, she got an MD apparently.
Oh I I was unaware.
No wonder she was on in uh the cahoots with Birla and the whole pharma industry.
I'm not saying all doctors are like this, but wow, I I didn't know this.
As a medical doctor by training, I'm appalled by the disinformation that threatens global progress on everything from measles to polio.
Ah, vaccines.
It's the vaccines.
Anti-vaxxers.
Stop it now.
We can't have that.
And this is why today I can announce that the European Union will head a new global health resilience initiative.
That's sure to make everyone sick.
Yeah.
Global Health Resilience Initiative.
Oh, please.
Well, here is the global health uh um initiative in the United States from Maha Mahamaha from Maha, RFK Jr.
The Make America Healthy Again Commission released recommendations yesterday to improve children's health.
They're calling it quote, make our children healthy again.
Okay.
Marketing mistake.
Marketing mistake.
Mark, make our children healthy again.
What's that?
Mocha?
Mm mmika.
No, make our children healthy again.
Mocha.
It's mocha.
Make our children mocha.
No.
How about did they was this official or is this something the media dream?
Oh, I who knows.
The commission is planning to start new studies and improve collaboration between health agencies.
Some specific things they will work on will be improving air and water quality, limiting microplastics, removing chemical additives from food, and increasing breastfeeding rates.
Oh no.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the chair of this commission.
A lot of these 128 uh recommendations are things that I've been dreaming about my whole life.
I've been working for in congressional campaigns and presidential campaigns for other candidates.
And they get into office and they say, Well, we can't we just can't do it.
Kennedy says some of the ideas came from discussions with farmers, teachers, and doctors.
The report also focuses on harm from vaccines, electromagnetic radiation, and fluoride.
But medical experts have said those ideals are not based in factual information.
It's not factual, people.
Just go to sleep, everything's okay.
Pay no attention to the guy with the gravelly voice.
But this one has our attention because this is the next step next step.
Not quite the the final nail in the coffin, but it's a good start.
This is about the executive order.
The president just signed an executive order making some news here when it comes to pharmaceutical ads.
Yeah, the president just signed an executive order that's an historic change.
And the way that pharmaceutical advertising is done on television.
And the order basically reinstates or gives us now the opportunity to reinstate the 1997 rules.
Prior to 1997, pharmaceutical advertisers were required to put all the side effects on their ads.
Many of them didn't advertise because it lengthened the because of what it did to the length of the advertising.
And that the removal of that requirement uh in 1997, FDA changed the rule to allow them to report the side effects on a website or on a telephone.
And they know they only had to report a few of them on television.
And that's regular proliferation of these ads.
We have there's only two countries in the world that allowed direct-to-consumer advertising by pharmaceutical companies on television.
Or one of those countries, New Zealand is the other.
It's had a disastrous impact on human health, on people's relationships with their doctors, and really on uh the entire gestalt where Americans are led to believe that there's a bill for every ill.
And that you don't have to exercise, you don't have to pay attach to your diet, whatever goes wrong with you, you can fix with a drug.
So, how much does this change the dynamic for pharmaceutical companies that have been advertising on all kinds of channels?
On our channel online, they're gonna have to do a lot of more specific things.
They're gonna have to they're gonna have to report all their side effects.
In some cases, I might create an advertisement that's four minutes long.
Um prior to 1997, advertising in in magazines had page after page after side effects reported.
And so we don't know exactly what we'll do, what it will do, but we we know it's gonna be better for the health of America.
Now, I don't know about you, but I think this is a genius idea.
Because it it only benefits cable news if pharmaceutical ads will be longer that shortens the availability on a 24-hour, 60-minute time clock, raising the prices to get in with any advertisement.
It also informs the public about all the stuff it's going to give you, which as we know is not good.
I think this is a good move.
I think this is just a step in the right direction.
But a good move nonetheless.
Yeah, it's not a bad move.
But I still think what happened, you know, they decided this memo came out.
We played a bunch of clips recently, and they're going after Kennedy.
They did it with the hearings.
They're yelling and screaming at him, and they're then walking out.
Elizabeth Warren being the best example.
But it was pretty ridiculous, and it was part of a concerted effort.
This is the sell that was the salvo.
This was the retort.
This is the response.
And I think it's always been in his back pocket.
He says, You go after me, you'd make my life miserable.
I'm gonna take away your TV advertising.
So I think this is one step, and but but he wants to keep something in his pocket, so he still has the complete ban, which I think is the long-term goal.
And what should happen is a complete ban of these ads.
Let's hope so.
So I think this was just this is a this is political.
Well, yes, but it's but it keeps the cable news companies in business for a bit longer.
I think that may have been just to assuage them.
Look, you're gonna make a lot of money with these extended ads.
No way they're gonna do 30 seconds.
They can't do 30 seconds.
Is at least a two-minute ad, maybe longer.
So you're gonna make a bunch of money, but get ready for it.
You're gonna get this gonna get cut off eventually.
They have to know that.
Meanwhile, in Sweden.
A media conference in Sweden was brought to a dramatic halt after their newly appointed health minister collapsed.
Elizabeth Lon was standing next to the country's prime minister and other officials when she suddenly fell over and hit her head.
Thankfully, she did return a short time later with no apparent injuries, saying, This is what can happen when you have a blood sugar drop.
Yeah.
Okay.
Did you see that?
I don't think so.
Did you see the video?
No.
Oh man.
She did she did one of those COVID drops.
Like just dropped.
Fell forward, the lectern went forward.
She banged her head on the lectern, just complete out.
Yeah.
Blue blood sugar dropped.
Okay.
Sure.
It had been pretty abrupt.
Yeah.
And my my my how things change.
Here's the money, honey, with the latest.
We we learned this morning that the FDA is now saying that it's okay to take uh ivermectin.
Uh if you have COVID.
I mean, Senator, I remember talking with you uh repeatedly during COVID about your upset that you were trying they were trying to cancel you because you were talking to doctors to try to find out the right ways to treat COVID without having to get too many boosters and and and and COVID shots.
My COVID was gone in a day when I took ivermectin.
And now three years later, the FDA says, Oh, yeah, okay, that's fine.
Take ivermectin.
What?
Oh what?
What?
Oh, money, honey, please.
She's just discovering that there's a new sheriff in town.
What?
How can this be?
Because it was always like that.
It was always like that.
It was always like that.
But I like this.
You can't have the emergency youth authorization if there's a treatment for the product.
Exactly.
Or for the disease, I'm sorry, for the disease.
So you can't get the U.S. You said it right.
No, you said it right, a treatment for the product.
You said for the product.
You said it right the first time.
I did.
The truth has to come out.
And so uh because of that one aspect uh alone, not to mention hydroxychloroquine, uh they had to uh banish it.
No, no, no, you can't take that's no good.
Yeah.
And just remember, we found the passport from the terrorist right there on the ground.
I mean, this this the world is a scam, people.
Gen Z ears, you're being scammed all the time.
Except on this show.
And with that, I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C and the Mocha.
Say hello to my friend on the other hand, the one and the only Mr. John C. DeMora!
John C. DeMora!
Good morning, New Saturday, Korean Marshall, sea boots at the ground.
Feet in the air, subs in the water and the dames and nights out there.
And the morning trolls in the troll room.
Now, all right.
What do you think the peak was to on today's show?
Today is a Thursday.
I would say that uh maybe 1900.
2834.
Yeah, well, that's because of the news.
Yes.
The news drives the show.
That's right.
That's right.
And those people have discovered that yes, it does actually work.
You can listen again.
Welcome back, everybody.
We're glad to have you here.
But for how long?
How long will we be here?
It depends on what happens next week.
Probably nothing unless they find the shooter.
I'll tell you why I say this.
Big news in the podcasting industry.
Big big news.
Inception Point AI.
A new well-funded company.
CEO is Janine Wright.
I think she was at uh Wondercraft or where was she?
She was at some other company.
She made some money, punched out.
She has made a new company, Inception Point AI, and they are betting on flooding the zone with audio content.
All AI generated.
All AI generated, 5,000 podcasts, 3,000 episodes a week.
Well, 5,000 podcasts.
You know, the funny thing is she thinks that's a lot.
But there are 4.5 million podcasts and over what did you say?
100 or 200,000 active podcasts.
It's about 400,000 on a monthly basis.
Okay, there's 400,000 on a monthly basis of people that are podcasting and continuing to podcast, not just one-offs or these casual ones like you run into it with the bigger number, which is the 4.5 million total.
Yeah.
So there's a spit in the bucket.
Well, the thing is, they are looking at the uh at the money.
And the way the money works.
Oh, all she's gonna do is ruin it for everybody.
Correct.
Um she's saying I'm doing this at a cost of one dollar per episode.
And so if you listen to um, let's see, we're going to wait.
Does that include uh server time?
Did that include downloads and the whole did that include the overhead?
Well you can't do it for one dollar an episode.
Well, that depends on how popular.
See, in it is she's looking at it across.
I don't think these these podcasts will be well.
What she says here is you can do it.
Well, yeah, if there's nobody listening, and you send out one download, yeah.
I guess you could do it for a buck.
Well, she says we make money at 20 downloads uh a week.
It seems a little that's well, listen to listen to this.
Is um the title of this podcast is the Garden Podcast.
And it's it is it is hosted by Nigel Thistledown.
Have a listen.
Nigel Thistledown, everybody.
What's going on, Texas?
It's Bluff here.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
First, we have to get two ads in a row.
Let me see if I can skip them.
And tumbleweeds off your driveway.
This is how we're gonna make money.
Whether you're looking for a garden design.
Here we go.
I possess something with intelligence.
For get inspired.
Go to Sierra Classics.
Okay, well, blah, blah, blah.
Good evening, fellow garden survivors and commissars of delightful disasters.
I'm your host, Nigel Fistledown.
And I must once again reveal that I am an artificial intelligence, which proves absolutely invaluable for tonight's celebration of spectacular garden failures.
You see, while I may never personally experience the crushing disappointment of watching three years of careful planning collapse in a single afternoon thunderstorm, I possess something rather remarkable.
Access to centuries of documented garden disasters, meteorological catastrophes, and horticultural mishaps from around the globe.
Welcome to Garden and our final episode.
What do you think?
I I think people will uh will listen to it.
No, they won't.
Oh, yes.
The peep the people are already listening.
They're like, well, that was a very interesting episode.
This is his final episode.
I don't know.
That's just the AI glitch.
It's not the final episode.
No.
And there's a knitting podcast.
A knitting podcast?
That's not gonna make any sense.
Well, here she says the company's able to produce each episode for one dollar or less, depending on length and complexity.
And attach programmatic advertising to it.
Do they have a scrimshaw podcast?
A scrimshaw?
What is scrimshaw?
That's where you carve little thing.
You take a tusk and you start carving on it, you know, while you're on the boat.
Yeah, like the white the white whale uh what is it?
Uh Tusk?
Is that it?
White whale tusks.
No, you know what I mean.
Scrimm show.
Don't.
Well, they're pipes.
Don't they have Scrimshaw pipes?
Oh, it's yeah, Scrimshaw.
Yeah, it'd be something like that.
Uh anyway.
Uh the sound of slop.
It's here.
It's here.
Well, well, I have a sure, you gotta play this.
I now that you bring this up, the there's counter-programming already.
Oh, oh, here we go.
Do you ever open up social media, see a post and wonder, is this even real?
You're not alone.
AI slop.
This mass-produced low-quality content is clogging the internet.
How about that xylophone in the background is making me want to clog you?
You cannot trust that the news report you're seeing on TikTok is real footage.
You cannot trust that the reviews you're reading of like the sneakers you want to buy are written by a human.
The internet becomes less useful because you can't like get information from it in the same way that you used to be able to.
I'm Brittany Luce.
And on this episode of It's Been a Minute, I'm getting into how AI Slop is clogging the internet and your brain.
And what you can do to get away from it.
Hit the button below to listen now.
Uh whoever thought that was a good idea.
Pling plomb.
Pling plong plong plong.
Yeah, that's good.
That's dynamite.
Yeah, that's NPR for you.
That's NPR.
It's another one of those things.
Well, here's the dilemma, though.
Here's the dilemma.
So podcast index.
Do we ingest these 5,000 AI slop podcasts?
Do we ban them?
No, you can't ban them.
Well, we can.
We have all the power.
I have all the power.
You have the power to ban, but you can't you can't do it.
Do we mark them?
Should we mark them as lame?
No.
Or slop.
No.
No.
Why would I bother?
They're just indexed.
They're just you, you know, you you yourself, you can't.
That would be you would ruin the whole podcasting 2.0 idea.
The idea was freedom, freedom, freedom.
I know.
Yak yak, and then this comes out, and oh, we can't have no more freedom.
Hold on.
That's not my position.
But there are many in the podcast industrial complex who are calling for this, who are calling for marking it as AI, who are calling for banning it outright.
I'm not saying Dave Jones and I are very clear.
As long as you've got an enclosure, you could podcast a PDF.
I don't really care.
But this is a real conversation.
People who make their money with ads.
That's because they're underlying I I don't care what system you set up.
There's an underbelly of people that want things censored.
Yes.
That's right.
And you yourself with the Charlie Kirk stuff at the beginning of the show where you're upset about it.
You it you could throw that right back at him.
What about Charlie Kirk?
You think we should be shot because we're gonna let this go in and just uh they've registered as a podcast, they follow the rules, they have the enclosure, they've they put it in the 2.0 system.
So what are you gonna do about it?
Interestingly enough, the same people who want this AI stuff banned would also love to see Charlie Kirk banned.
Yeah, of course.
It's the same people, it's the underbelly same people.
Yep.
Same people.
The same people who say Tell them to set up their own podcasting 2.0 index.
Same people who say, Oh, I hope Homeland Security will let me into the country for the Conference.
So much of that.
So much of that.
My own sister did that.
She's in New York for a for a wedding.
Willow has an American passport.
Her husband doesn't.
And she said, it's been a good trip.
We didn't get stopped at the board by border patrol.
What is this?
Has everybody somehow everyone's afraid that America roused you the minute you come into the country?
Your own sister.
Does she listen to the show?
No.
There's not a single person in my family who listens to the show.
How about you?
How about you know the show is that was Don's wife?
How about you?
Oh, yeah.
Listen to it once, not knowing she was a spook.
And she took this should have been a clue.
She had she had notes on a piece of paper.
Well, I think you guys are very patriotic.
I think you're right.
Uh Farid Zakaria is uh anti-constitutional and uh very interesting program.
I had no idea.
I'm like, wow, and Meg, thanks.
I had no idea.
She ran the Russia desk.
What did I what did I that's how good she was.
Should have been a clue.
Hey, um, you can get these uh podcasts, this podcast specifically on a modern podcast app, which is connected to the podcast index, which is important because when someone deplatforms your favorite podcast, and it happens all the time.
Episodes specifically, episodes on Spotify get removed all the time.
Certainly if you play, you know, we couldn't, we're not on Spotify because we don't we won't sign their agreement.
You know, you have to sign agreement so they can put ads in whenever they want.
If you play any music in in a podcast episode that the algorithms identify as possibly copyrighted music, which let's be honest, is 80% of all of the fair use um end of show mixes, fair use because it's uh parody and relatable to the news that we are discussing.
Your episode just gets deleted.
No questions asked.
Yeah.
And no recourse.
Right.
So you don't want that.
You want to get a modern podcast.
Nobody wants that.
No, but people accept it.
Like, oh, well, I guess I got the applause for you want to get something for podcastapps.com and go look at the podcast index.
All the information is there.
There's a little apps tab there as well.
You can see how it works and what's in there, and it's all on the up and up.
And even the AI slop will be in there without any censorship or deplatforming.
Uh and value for value, almost 18 years, almost 1,800 episodes.
We still get to do this every single Thursday and Sunday.
It's amazing that you have allowed us to do that.
We are so excited every single time to perform this as a public service for you.
Time talent.
I love what I do.
Time, talent and treasure is how we've kept it rolling.
You hear the boots on the ground.
I mean, I didn't just find the report on MIT.
No, we have someone who actually works in the business that look, I got this report fresh off the press.
Here it is for you.
That is very valuable.
And we also have 40 billion dollars worth of artwork machinery at our disposal.
And I could I could not be happier about it.
You you've put this in a new light for me.
This is great.
Forty to 60 billion dollars worth of investment is made so that we can have cover art for every single show.
However, the artwork for episode 1797, which is titled Death Buses, was done by a professional who knows what he's doing.
And this was Sir Shoog, aka Faux Diddley, who deconstructed the Austin, the new 1.2 million dollar Austin logo to create a new no agenda logo.
Um do you think this was AI deconstructed, or is this did he do this in Photoshop?
What do you think?
This has to be a Photoshop job.
I think so too.
It just didn't feel like AI is not.
I can see where you could take and cut out that that Austin thing and move things around a little bit and throw up the no agenda label and Curry Dvorak and easier.
There's no way that AI could work that do that.
He'd be prompting all day.
We're not we're not near but professor level intelligence, what?
There's no way.
There's no way.
Uh It was good.
And everyone who saw it immediately said, oh, that's great.
That's what that would that's what makes a great piece of art.
Well, that's if they all noticed that with the logo looked like they were.
Well, I almost I only care about my friends.
And my I don't care about anybody else.
Of course.
I don't care about anybody else.
And there were other uh pieces of art that we uh looked at.
Um by the way, if Sir Shook is listening, which he probably is, yes.
And he did that using AI at in any way.
Yeah, which which system did you use?
Unless he said the AI give me a yellow background, except for that.
Maybe that, maybe that.
Uh I would like to know uh if AI was involved, and I'm absolutely convinced there's no chance.
It's really amazing what AI is doing.
And it's and it's really with things that there was already I mean, is there really a business for graphic designers anymore?
I mean, really.
I mean, unless you're you're working for the city of Austin and you just overcharge him and you say, Look, here's what I did.
Well, I have some friends who are professionals at the highest level.
And how they do it.
And they've long since given up on it.
They gave up on the business that's exactly my point.
They've given up on it.
No, but they gave up before AI.
Why did they give up?
Because of all the free uh clip art that's available and spot art that is they're just libraries and libraries full of it, and it was too hard to compete with it.
Well, in other words, that you could compete with it, but you couldn't compete at the price levels.
You couldn't get the top dollar you used to be able to get uh 30 years ago for your spot art.
One of our producers is a songwriter in Nashville, and he sent me uh he said, Look, this is this is a song idea I had.
Uh, and he he sent a demo.
You know, you know how demos used to sound on a cassette tape, like someone singing.
Someone singing along, you know, kind of off key.
It's okay.
Maybe you got a good singer to come in.
It's never really doesn't really sound professional, but it's okay.
And then you give that to the label, and the label then takes it and gets an artist to record it, and uh boom, Bob's your uncle, you got some money.
If if it's a big name artist, it's great.
This songwriter said, I just threw this into AI myself and listen to this.
And it was like completely done.
Like a Nashville song, completely done, right like it came out of the studio.
I mean, that it's just over.
So I mean now you'll always have, you always have you know, something special, someone new, someone that does something that the AI is not yet done.
That's always going to happen.
That will always be the case, and people will take note of it and it will be successful.
But still, even then with streaming and Spotify, there's no money in it.
So we're just gonna have to deal with it, I think.
And now they're trying to do that with podcasters.
But can anyone really replicate what we do?
Is that really possible?
Eventually.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
But probably the whole thing will collapse before that happens.
But it but when I say eventually, I mean eventually, like uh within a hundred years.
Oh, okay.
Well, we'll go to the moon within a hundred years.
I'm sure that'll happen.
Maybe.
Until then, um, no 40 to 60 billion dollars invested here.
No, instead, we depend on your support of the program.
This is unique in podcasting.
There's not a lot of people who have done this successfully, and certainly not for 18 years.
And we believe it's because it's an outstanding product.
There's no other way to do value for value.
Um, or as some say, I work for tips.
No, no, no, we don't.
Uh, and people have supported us, and we are eternally grateful for the opportunity to do this for you and for the value you return for whatever you receive from the program.
And today we have one of those examples of someone who has the means and the love for the show.
Seronyus of dog patch and lower Slobovia comes in once again with his mysterious number, not ending in a two, I might add.
So I don't know if he had two dollar bills, but today he said he always has two dollar bills.
You don't have to keep wondering.
He had six of them in this donation.
$3,141.
Yeah.
Which we are so grateful for.
And you have a note I have on my um on my thing right here.
You have a note.
I have a note.
In fact, I didn't get a copy of said notes.
That's the usually I get a uh a scanned copy of the note.
You do.
But why not today?
Because Jay's in Seattle.
Oh, so she didn't have the note.
No, I had the note.
Okay.
All right.
You don't have a scanner.
You got printers all over the house, no scanner.
I have a scanner.
Well, you should have scanned it for me.
Well, it's easier to write John has note, which is three words on a memo to Jay directly.
Okay, as long as I don't have to copy down any information.
It's good.
Then uh Oh, you mean what?
Yeah, it's funny because this is the first time Onius asked for about eight clips.
I doubt that's interesting.
I doubt it.
He did.
No, he didn't.
Okay, here we go.
It's too much travel again, causing delays in producership, he writes.
This donation includes any cash processing fee.
Cash.
He added two dollar bills.
I'm gonna read this.
But I can assure you that we don't do this, and I'm sorry to say.
Personally, I recommend not depositing cash, but adding it to your palette of cash for future use.
No.
Your palette.
We don't have a palette of cash.
We put it in the bank so we can split it at the end of the year, but at the same time, make sure that it's documented so the IRS doesn't say, hey, these guys are taking cash money and putting it to the site.
We don't do that.
No.
Uh a note for travelers on the EU currency restrictions.
Oh, this now here we go.
Here we go.
Uh take up to the limit of $10,000 and exchange US dollars cash at different currency exchanges.
In time, they may develop a method to capture passport numbers across different networks, but for now, it allows you to have more than the currency limit and helps keep credit cards in your pocket, reducing future fraud risk and offers the added benefit of annoying retailer retailer checks that can't count retailer clerks that can't count change.
So we're talking about those areas that we've talked about on the show where you can't have more than $300.
Yes.
He says, hell with it.
Take your $10,000 across the border and then go to a bunch of you get a lot of $300, $200, $300 here and there.
So he says, so it's just All right.
This is a little tip.
A little tip for the travelers.
Adam.
Yes.
Your view that some of our challenges is the devil at work, has merit, but recall that life is a human endeavor, and there is always been profound evil in the world.
Amen.
We are in total agreement.
Small note.
Last month's shekels were from my visit to the West Bank.
Yes, he sent some shekels.
He visited the West Bank.
That's interesting.
Yeah, we're figuring it out.
We're getting close.
My visit to the West Bank.
You know the place.
Uh uh.
I-S-A-A-K-A-Jesus was born P B U H, which is uh uh peace be above.
I mean, he's talking about uh Allah or about Mohammed that's pee-ba refers to no jingles low karma.
John, 175 words.
He's well within his budget.
Well done.
And I believe he became although Am I the only one that complains about long notes?
Is that what he's implying?
Um that's that's the reputation that you have.
Yes.
That's your reputation.
It doesn't mean it's correct, but reputation is what is just a fact.
You can't deal with it any other way.
You gotta rep you got a rep, and that's it.
So you might as well say it.
Okay.
Say what?
Well, if you're being accused of the crime, you might as well commit the crime.
And tell people it's not a crime to bitch about the people writing notes that are too long for the show.
No, exactly.
What kind of a crime is that to complain?
It's now you can't complain.
It's a crime.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
Thank you, Sir Animus.
Now he receives a uh a secretary generalship, I believe.
He never w wants anything.
Well, but it's it he got on the list.
Okay.
Let me just check.
Did because Jay just puts people on the list.
She just wants to send stuff out.
Let me see.
But no, she doesn't.
She does.
She's like, I can't wait to send yeah, she put him on the list.
And I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I saw I got it, the package in the mail.
It doesn't have anybody's name on it.
I have no idea where it came from.
It's from uh one of those plays, the printing operation, the big one.
Print for less or whatever it's called.
And it's two envelopes, and each one of them had a very elaborate set of small no agenda stickers.
Oh.
That's cool.
Little silver stickers.
They're about very small, like half-inch round stickers with a logo on them.
And no agenda.
And I got two sheets and two different envelopes within the package.
I would like to know who sent those to me and what they want us to use them for.
Are they handsome stickers?
Yeah, they're cute.
It's pretty because it's a it's a silver little silver sticker.
Oh.
Uh I'll take a couple and put them on some trucks out here.
No, it's too small.
Oh, okay.
We're talking little bitty things.
They're like on a sheet of paper at the bottom, maybe, or it's a stamp for the back of an envelope.
No, this wouldn't do any good on it.
On your laptop cover?
Can we put on the no, it's too small for that.
It's their small little stamp-sized stickers.
Sir Scovey is up next from Charlotte, North Carolina, and he comes in with 9999.
Matching donations alert in the morning to Alexander Wenta, Sir Sam, and Charlotte in San Francisco for their donations of 333.33 to show 1797.
Thank you for your courage.
All six donations have been matched.
But wait, there's more.
A seventh was matched because Charlotte in San Francisco not only mentioned the matching donation offer, but did so on a handwritten note.
That's worthy of a match to the best podcast in the universe.
Goat Karma for the seven producers who made the matching donations possible.
Love and light from Sir Scovey in Charlotte, North Carolina.
And this concludes the matching donations.
And we thank you all very much, producers who match, and of course, Sir Scoby.
Thank you for your courage.
You've got my nice of him to give that last extra one.
That's very kind, yes.
Sir, your honest mechanic.
And he is in Eastley, South Carolina.
Easily, yep.
Easily.
Easily.
Easily there.
Uh it's also known as Kevin Fusco.
Uh 52636.
ITM fellas.
This is Sir, your honest mechanic.
I'm back probably a month back in episode.
Or I'm back.
And this is pro probably a month back in episode.
So you're you've probably they spelled it right that time, already talked about this.
Okay.
One of my employees came to me and said, our insurance sucks.
The doctor prescribed my wife Zepp bound for her sleeping.
No, no.
He said the FDI just recently approved it.
I had a great laugh when he said that, and I thought it's only a matter of time before these are good for erectile dysfunction, like Adam keeps predicting.
It's coming.
I thought it already happened.
Well, thank you two.
No jingles, just karma for everyone.
Thank you, Kevin.
Yes.
Well, it it it kind of said it, but they haven't actually advertised it as erectile dysfunction.
So not quite, but we're getting close.
You've got karma.
Matt Stevens, Nahunta.
Nahunta.
I'm probably mispronouncing that in Georgia.
Nahunta.
350.
350 93.
That's 333 plus 33 fees.
Thank plus fees.
Thank you both for your work in ceremony of Charlie Kirk, please night me, Sir Matthew of the Lower.
Oh, memory.
In memory of Charlie Kirk, please night me Sir Matthew of the Lower Coastal Plain, Matt Stevens in Nahunta, Georgia.
So he'll be the Sir Matthew of the Lower Coastal Plains today.
thank you.
Uh Matt.
Appreciate it.
You can get the next one after I read Sir Joseph's note.
And he's in Ewing, New Jersey.
This is the other note that came in.
Mm-hmm.
Well, there's two notes here.
Two notes in a row, and I don't have uh I only have one note, so I don't know what note you're about to read.
Oh, wait.
This is no, this is Sir Joseph's.
I have the note the sheet from I don't know where that other note is.
I have no, yeah, I think that's the one attaches the PDF.
I have uh Beth, Beth Elliott or Chad Elliott.
What do I have?
I have Beth Elliott.
That's the one I have.
Yeah, that's that's the note.
So you have Sir Joe.
No, there's but there's Sir Joseph.
Yeah, I have Sir Joseph in my right in my poem.
Well, why don't I just read this one then and you can do that?
Which is what you were saying.
Well, you would because we're then we're skipping Sir Lucas.
Sir Luca.
Sir Luca.
So Luca.
Why don't you read Sir Luca and then we'll go from there?
From Switzerland.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who use the metric system and those who still use body parts and kitchen utensils as units of measurement.
And fake the moon landings.
This would be typical of a Swiss guy.
And they fake the moon landing.
Please, I would appreciate if you gave a cancer karma, an F-Cancer karma, I'm sure, for my father, who was fighting a prostate cancer comeback with Ivermectin, a dog Dwormer, and supplements.
Yes, we're familiar with this.
Very good results, I've heard.
Please keep us informed.
In October, we will know if it worked.
Lastly, happy 51st birthday to me on September 11th.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, says Sir Luca.
You've got karma.
So this uh is Sir Joseph of Ewing New Jersey.
He came with 333 and he was plugging something on his check, but I didn't have a check here.
But he says uh and he also has a funny letterhead of Gumbo Goombaz.
Anyway, he's a character, the Sir Joseph.
He's the Lord of the uh Central Jersey Swamp.
If someone told me that I would uh someday donate $1,000 to a podcast, I would have told them that they needed their head examined.
Well, I need my head examined because this is the third donation of 333.34, puts me into the knighthood category.
I couldn't possibly ask you to uh kick in the penny, considering oh, he added it.
How much uh bitching John does about the uh about the lackluster donations of late.
Yeah, I complain a lot.
Uh please knight me, Sir Joseph, Lord of the Central Jersey Swamps.
And if you would, uh if you'd be so kind to provide by the way, this is in four-point type.
So I'm I'm struggling.
If you'd provide some uh gumbo parmesan and uh El Bata?
El Bata beer.
See, this is exactly why you need to scan the notes, because now I have to go into the system.
I've got to go into the show notes.
I've got to say, can you repeat that again?
Yeah.
What is it?
Uh yeah.
Well, I I would have scanned the note if I'd known this was in there, but I didn't read the note.
Oh.
Very good.
Please uh mention my band, the gumbo goombas, who can be found on my digital platform, and I will be able to deduct the offering as an advertising expense on my taxes.
Okay.
You know, it's between you and the IRS, but it sounds like an ad to me for the gum.
I said it already twice.
Gumbo Goombas, that's three.
P.S. I recently celebrated my 68th.
Ah, I bet she's not on the birthday list.
No, another thing I gotta add.
Okay, well.
Gee, I'm sorry you're gonna have to do some work.
I'm struggling trying to read this note.
Uh, my 68th uh revolution, I that was my fault, because normally when I send these to Jay when she's floating around someplace else, I will put the birthday call out on this.
It would have been on the thing and it would have been taken care of, but that was my fault.
Sir Joseph, and he turned 68 when.
Uh I'm looking.
He doesn't say.
And can you again give me what he wants for the round table?
Because you still didn't tell me.
Yeah, he wants for the round table, he wants uh gumbo parmesan, which I have no idea what that is.
And Elata, Elata, A-L.
Oh, I'm sorry, El Bata.
A L B I T A beer.
Elbacia.
Albita.
A-L-B-I-T-A?
Yeah, that's what it says.
A-L-B-I-T-A.
Albita.
Well, let me look close.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's not El Bata, it's Albita.
Well, again, it's at four-point type.
So when you get in your 70s, even with the cataract operation, you can't read four-point type.
I recently celebrated my six-day revolution.
He goes on about that.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Soon to be Joseph, Lord of the Central Jersey Swamps.
All right.
We've got it all.
Uh then we have Beth Elliott, who says uh in the morning, John and Adam, a written note.
And I this I also have not just the note, but I have a for some reason a scan of the check.
Pretty check.
Assuming this arrives in time, can you please read this on Thursday, September 11th show?
Switcharoo for my smoking hot hubby of 31 years, Chad, who hit me in the mouth during COVID.
Thank you for that.
And congrats.
You are no longer a douchebag.
You've been deduced.
Happy anniversary, sexy ass, she says.
For jingles.
May I have their eating the dogs.
I got hairy legs and little girl.
Yay, thank you, gentlemen, for your courage.
And in all upper case, for your attention to this matter.
Yours truly, Beth.
P.S. Chad says I listen to y'all too much.
They're eating the dogs.
I got hairy legs.
Who right.
I was like, we have Strickal of Lavender Blossoms, buddy in Northville, Michigan.
2272.
Good to hear some.
And he says, even though this is not true.
I think it's about time I show my appreciation for all you do.
He does all it constantly.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, uh Adam.
Which is a little late, but there it is.
And R-I-P-C-Kal.
Sir Cal, you've been around for a long time and have supported us a lot.
So thank you very much.
No.
Yeah.
Hey, Eli the Coffee Guy is about to round it out.
We have a couple more for he's from Bensonville, Illinois.
2091.
There it is.
Here's always with the date, 911.
Normally I would try to write something witty along with a plug for gigawatt coffee, but I was in the middle of drafting my donation date when I received a text that Charlie Kirk had been shot.
Although I didn't listen to him much, I just want to express my sorrow.
Any political killing tears at the fabric of our nation.
I mourn the death of Kirk.
I also mourn the last 25 years since the fateful morning in September that sent planes crashing into buildings.
I miss the world before that future generations will never know.
I'm concerned of what they shall inherit.
I'm sure this event and the following media circus will help usher a new security measures and even greater loss of freedoms.
Thank you for pointing out the BS, says Eli the Coffee Guy.

You should have read it.
Jobs Karma.
Worried about AI for a resume that gets results, tells your unique story and highlights the value you bring.
Go to Imagemakers Inc.

That's ImageMakers Inc.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's go for a job.
Hey, at least we're honest.
So you do the so you so will you do this since you're so damn good.
Can you do the voiceovers for uh Mimi's ads as she runs for city council in Port Angeles?
Oh, I'd be delighted to.
I told her exactly that.
I said she I said, I don't even have to ask him.
Have you asked him?
Have you asked him?
I said, No, I haven't asked him.
He'll just do it.
He's an ego maniac.
He'd be glad to do it.
Oh, what?
Oh, hold on.
I just uh Mimi, I'm sorry.
I was gonna do it until John called me an ego maniac.
I'm no longer doing it.
Nope.
You can blame John.
Nope.
That's it.
I'm done.
Nope, sorry.
It's all over.
So Anonymous and by the way.
So apparently she and one of our producers did a meetup promo for the for the meetup in Oakland.
No, no, that's how they're no, they're doing a meetup in Port Angeles.
Port Angeles.
But they're doing a meetup, so they send me a meetup promo with Mimi, but they send me an audacity file.
Like, I can't open this.
I mean, I couldn't.
Oh, they didn't send an audacity.
That is Yes, they did.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
The Audacity Project file.
So she says to me, Here we go.
Here we go.
Yeah, we decided uh I forget the guy's name.
Now does your wife talk like that?
I agreed to tell I agreed to make her voice talking like this.
Which is hard for me to do, so I don't do it.
But she said that they had they they've got the um that device you have, the uh broadcast.
And they recorded it and they say, How did we get it off of here?
And they couldn't figure out how to get it out.
I said, Why don't you just take the memory off?
We finally worked it out.
Send me the memory card.
So they finally worked it out.
They didn't do the memory.
The easiest thing to do is take the memory card, stick it in the computer, boom, you're done.
Yeah.
But so they took it, and I guess they put it in Audacity and then they sent you the audacity.
They they went to say with Audacity, if you go to Save Project, it saves it as this cra crazy format that it's not audio, it's just their format.
Yeah.
Instead of exporting it, they didn't know to export it.
Yes.
Is this the the podcast studio they're running up there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, they'd they'll get it down.
Well, and to be honest, I got it, and I I have Audacity, but then it opened up, and first of all, Audacity, which is now a commercial company, gives you all kinds of great offers, and then it says, Yeah, this is no longer compatible with this version of Audacity.
It was close to showtime.
Like, okay, I'm sorry, you gotta send me an MP3.
And so it's not gonna be when is the when is the meetup?
It's next it's this coming Saturday.
Oh crap, so we can't even play their their jingle.
They're they're probably Well, did they they're I have you know, you have to go to is the source?
They they screwed it up.
And I see they didn't export the file.
They instead they sent you that.
And Audacity being what it is, because I've noticed this too.
It's horrible.
It's changed so much over the last couple of iterations.
It's because it became a commercial company all of a sudden, from open source to someone buying it somehow.
Yeah, yeah.
Why doesn't that happen to Podcast Index for a couple million?
We can go from Orpins open source to be bought.
We got no problem.
You can be bought.
I know I know your style.
Yeah, that's it.
Okay, so okay, they're having they're having the meetup coincident with the Oakland meetup, which I'll be at.
And uh, but we it'll be listed in the Port Angeles is having a meetup on uh Saturday, and they're it's gonna and Jay'll be up there.
Oh, nice.
Oh, that's good.
And Brennan, so they'll have be up there.
They would normally be Brennan, the the the deadbeat with no job, that guy.
He still gets checks.
Oh, okay.
So he uh he'll be there with uh Jay and they'll have a I don't know where they're doing it, but it'll listed.
Uh and I'll be at the Oak Meetup, which is gonna be at the pizza place in Oakland again, Violetas.
So the producers are saying, post the file to the chat, and we'll we'll take care of it for you.
And I'm like, they will.
Yeah, but it's I think it's it's like raw audio, like 15 gigs or something for for these things.
You know what I mean?
It sends something weird, send something weird out.
Could be wrong.
Well, see if you can post it.
Anyway, last donation is from Anonymous.
I wanted to mention this game is his check is $200.
The person was adamant about not mentioning who it is, but did say that uh she uh now just discovered, just discovered you can send in a check and not and couldn't do anything.
She didn't want to do anything else and it realized that this is great.
I can send in money now because I didn't realize how it how easy it is to send in a check.
Oh, it's the box.
It's so easy to do.
The box 339, El Cerrito, California, 94530.
It's just beyond me.
Well, everybody doesn't send in a check.
It costs 15 cents to process.
Yeah, I can't post it to the chat because it's 31 megs.
I can only upload 15 megs.
I'm sorry, people.
Sorry.
All right.
Wow.
Yeah.
There we go.
Okay.
Was that it?
Was that the last one?
Yeah, we're done.
All right.
You're out of here.
Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers for episodes 17.
98.
Two more to go until the big 1800.
Will they survive 18 years?
The best podcast in the universe.
That's up to you if you want us to continue with this open source, open funding, completely transparent system we have put up where we thank everybody who supports us $50 and above.
And of course, these executive and associate executive producers, uh, they receive these credits, which are official show business credits, and they receive them because they came in with 200 or 300.
But any amount matters to us, anything that you want to send back as value is value for value for us.
And uh we'll be thanking $50 and above in our second segment.
Thanks again.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
You.
What else?
Shut up, shut up.
I just had an idea here.
Let me see.
I can probably post this.
Yeah, I got an idea here.
I think I can get this on a server and get them to it.
Oh, yeah.
I got everything, baby.
Let me see if this works.
You're gonna post it somewhere and have them pick it up?
Yep.
Yep, here it is.
It's Elliot.
It's uh it's an AUP3 file.
A U P3, because I don't even know what that is.
I've never even seen that.
I all the files I have that are backed up like that are AUPs.
Well, this says AUP3.
So they exported as something special.
Good luck, boys.
Yeah, well, the the chat has it, so the trolls will go to work.
I mean it it's it really just I ran out of time.
First, they everyone always assumes, well, don't you have a Google account connected to AutomatCurry.com.
Like, no.
No, I have a Google account, which is not automatic.com.
And so I always have to request access.
Which usually, you know, an hour later, people go like, oh, okay, here you go.
Here's your access.
Oh, I'm sorry I got to access.
And um uh and then they send it back, and it's like, oh, okay.
Uh anyway.
The the trolls are going to be.
We might get it done, but we need to get it done, which is the trolls.
The trolls are gonna do it, the trolls are gonna do it.
They're gonna do it.
Yeah, we'll see.
Now they're gonna do it.
A lot of trolls today and they're they're bored.
We have great trolls.
Now, speaking of one of the best trolls in the universe, wow, this came in this morning on the transom.
Bye bye Mandelson.
Breaking news.
Breaking hour, let's go live to Westminster on political correspondent Serena Barkasinger.
We're hearing in the last few moments that Peter Mandelson has been asked to withdraw as ambassador by the Prime Minister.
Yes, exactly.
Withdraw from being the ambassador, or essentially uh he's been sacked by the Prime Minister.
And you heard from the foreign minister there, Stephen uh Dowsey, who was who drawn out uh by the conservatives urgent questions today uh to make that announcement.
It's uh not a surprise.
We were talking this morning about how long could uh Peter Mandelson sustain this drip feed of information, uh these very embarrassing photos, uh that one in of him in a uh bathrobe at one of Jeffrey Epstein's uh residencies, but it seems to be these emails that are the most damning.
And uh the um foreign office has said these are the new information that emerged.
Oh, this sucking has gone down, whether uh he was told personally, whether he was summoned um in, but it was clearly becoming uh untenable that Peter Mandelson could sustain his position.
And remember, uh the government has a commitment to um women and girls and halving violence against women and girls who's optically not looking very good, but it seems like those emails were the most damning uh things, and that's why the Prime Minister uh has said today uh via his foreign minister uh that the US ambassador now has been sacked.
So these emails, as I was reading through them, it's like, haven't we seen these?
It's been around for a long time.
I this whole thing is blowed up again.
Uh and they had the the the latest Trump no to his birthday party or something.
Oh, yes.
I which I thought was actually pretty funny.
Well, the thing that that is poorly reported on is it looks like a script.
A script with a voiceover, and it look it literally looks like a side from a script, and no one ever comments on that.
I'm not sure what script was it from.
Was it from a TV show, a reality show?
Was it from a movie?
Why is it a script?
At the top it has voice voice over.
If you really look at it, it's very confusing.
And of course we know it's a Democrat hoax, everybody.
This is the birthday message allegedly crafted by Donald Trump for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.
We have certain things in common.
It says inside a drawing of a naked female form.
May every day be another wonderful secret.
It adds above what appears to be Trump's signature.
It you know, it actually that drawing, it looks like remember as kids we would draw that, and then we'd cover up a part of it, and people like, oh man, I can't believe you drew that and you take your hands off, and it was actually a horse's head.
Do you remember that joke?
Remember that joke we used to play?
No, but that was a joke that I've never heard of it.
Looks a bit like that.
Signature.
I don't even know what they're talking about.
Now, somebody could have written a letter and used my name, but that's happened a lot.
I'm not a drawing person.
I don't do drawings of women.
That I can tell you.
Despite White House denials, the signature appears to match Trump's own other letters sent during the same time period.
The president did not write this letter, he did not sign this letter.
The drawing was contained in a birthday book prepared for Epstein's 50th birthday before he was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor.
The book also included a message, allegedly from former U.S. President Bill Clinton, and this photo that appears to be a joke about Epstein selling a woman to Trump for $22,000.
This is a Democrat hoax that never ends.
The material was obtained by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, along with other records from Epstein's estate, part of a broader push for the release of the full Epstein files after the Trump administration backtracked on a promise to make them public.
And if Republicans don't want to engage in a cover-up of pedophilia and this pedophilia ring, they should go sign this discharge petition.
Trump and his allies keep trying to change the channel.
At one point, even claiming Trump was secretly working against his longtime friend.
He was an FBI informant to try to take this stuff down.
I can affirm that is not true.
The shifting explanations and increasingly damning evidence have done little to quell the questions about Trump's involvement with the notorious sex offender, a story that seems unlikely to go away anytime soon.
Well, so that's the rundown.
You have the latest.
Um the check is pretty funny.
I somehow I think I'd seen that before.
Am I just imagining that we've seen all these things before?
Well, I know you haven't seen the Clinton cartoon.
Oh no, that's new.
Yeah.
Well, uh I I don't remember this this drawing being that, but I've maybe I'm uh it's maybe there's a couple of them.
No, I remember the check, the picture with the check.
I remember that somehow.
Anyway, no, I don't remember that.
An unlikely response from uh an unlikely quote unquote ally, the Senator John Fetterman was asked about this.
Senator, on the findings from the House Oversight Committee on this alleged birthday book, this note that the president allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday.
Do you have any comment on that and the drawing that goes with that?
I I again I I don't think the Epstein thing is the big thing.
I I don't know, release it.
I don't know.
But it's strange.
I mean, the Democrats, we've had that for four years.
We didn't release that.
I I don't know why we didn't do that.
So for Reno release it, but I don't think that's gonna, you know, it's this idea that suddenly that's gonna be the one thing that's gonna you know Take out Trump.
You know, I don't believe that that what that is.
Uh he'll still be here.
I don't think it's just a distraction, uh honestly.
But go ahead and release whatever that is, but it's not an important Fetterman.
He's all in with the with the president on this.
Yeah, it's just a distraction.
It's quite the distraction.
Yeah, I don't know why.
Well, again, if I go back to my own thesis, it's meant to be a distraction.
It's meant to be, well, they forced me to do it, and here's here it is, and then some people get burned, and Trump can be again so far.
I I said not to do it.
I'm sorry, boys that this happened to you, but this is nothing I can add any control over.
There's a Democrats, it's them.
Well, so Mandelson got burned, and this is just what, a week before President Trump goes to the UK for a state visit.
That's rather embarrassing.
Yeah, I'd say Mandelson.
Do you see the pictures?
He's in his bathrobe and he's like, hey, my best friend.
My goodness.
Men are so men who's notorious for getting burned like this.
Yeah.
There's always a sex scandal there.
Yeah, what was that dude's name?
Oh, I don't uh I can almost come up with it.
Come on.
I know who would know.
Uh it's amazing how you forget this guy.
The necrophiliac.
Remember that guy?
Ugh.
Something he Jim.
Jim.
Jim will fix it.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, of course you do.
The guy had asked Irvine there what she thinks.
Let's ask Irvine.
Hey, Irvine, who was the famous British uh pedophile that uh got arrested, never got arrested, but then eventually died.
Jim will fix it, dude.
That'd be Jimmy Savile.
Ah, Jimmy Faddie.
Oh, see, Jimmy Savile, sure.
Jimmy Savile.
There you go.
That was duh.
What a creep that guy was.
All happened during the course of this show, I might add.
And boy, that did.
They they covered that up, didn't they?
Whoa.
Yeah, that was the entire BBC.
It was the BBC.
Didn't didn't they kill uh the journalist over that?
Woman who got killed outside her house.
I don't know.
Ask the no, I'm not gonna ask the robot everything.
I'm not gonna do that.
Not gonna do that.
Adam and the robot.
That's your there's your title, Adam and the Robot.
Hey, stick with me, baby.
Adam and the robot.
It's a possible exit strategy.
Think of it.
I can have twice the money.
Adam and the robot.
For 20 bucks a month.
half the money because the robot won't complain enough.
I'll teach the robot to complain.
It'll cost me 20 bucks a month, Adam and the robot, everything.
Everybody, it's Adam and the robot.
Hey robot, how are you doing?
Robot, say hello.
Adam and the robot, everybody.
Woo-hoo!
In the morning.
Yep.
Yeah, it's gonna happen.
I'm expecting it.
Well, talking about whining.
I I had to get this clip out of the way.
This is the this a BBC clip about the voice of America complaining.
Okay.
The Trump administration.
Yeah, I got it.
The Trump administration is moving to fire most remaining journalists at the federally funded broadcaster Voice of America.
The movie's likely to be challenged in the courts.
More than 500 termination notices have been sent out, including one to Patsy Weekiswara, who until now was the Voice of America White House Bureau Chief.
I think it's quite clear that press freedom in the United States is under attack.
Not just what's happening with us with Voice of America, but also our colleagues, public broadcasters such as public radio, NPR, and then PBS, as well as private stations.
They're also under attack from the White House.
And if you just look at any White House briefing, you see a lot of very right-wing influencers.
Oh yeah.
BBC knees.
Of course.
Oh, there's right wingers there.
It's all right wingers on those those podcasters.
Podcasters in the White House.
What are we gonna do?
This is no good.
Can't have the podcast.
We never get invited to something cool.
Invite us to the White House.
No, it's gonna invite us to anything.
When you didn't get invited, because we're I still think we're a fairly neutral show about politics.
But when you but you did come out for Trump in 2015, 2016.
Well you came out for Trump.
You said I want Trump.
That's not how you made a big fight.
No, you lie.
No, I well, let me finish.
You thought Trump would be the you would you were back in trapping if You predicted he was gonna win.
You lie.
I I said this guy can go all the way.
And you said, no, man, it's Marco Rubio.
That's how that went down.
You what you made a point of endorsing Trump, and you never got invited to the white inauguration.
That's the way I see it.
Remember it.
I endorsed him.
Okay.
All right.
And you never got invited.
No, I because I never endorsed him if I had said, yeah, go, man.
Go, go, go.
People, if somebody go dig this up, uh dude, okay.
Do some research.
Yeah, please do.
Send it to me.
I'll I'll gladly play it.
I find it very annoying that you didn't get invited to the inauguration.
Yeah, I'm not surprised.
Joe Rogan went.
He would he represented all uh all podcasts.
He went to he didn't go to inauguration 2016.
No, that's right.
He went to the second one.
You're right.
He hated uh when I hated, but he was not a uh uh he was he was a yeah, he was a Bernie fan.
He was a Bernie Sanders fan.
Right, he was a Bernie Burton.
You and you and uh Rogan, Bernie and Marco.
Uh-huh.
Sure.
Way to go.
Marco's got a better chance of still making it.
Way to go, eight ball.
Okay.
Magic eight ball.
Magic eight.
Here, here's a funny.
I got a I have a wow clip, one of these clips that I just not getting much coverage.
Mm-hmm.
This is just too funny.
The South Africa court has sentenced seven Chinese nationals to prison.
They were convicted of trafficking dozens of Africans and forcing them to work in a factory.
And TD said David Lamb reports.
A court in Johannesburg, South Africa has sentenced seven Chinese nationals to 20 years in prison.
Sentence to this.
They were convicted of trafficking 91 individuals from Malawi and forcing them to work at a cotton fabric factory in South Africa.
The group was convicted in February for crimes committed from 2017 to 2019.
Police raided the factory and arrested the defendants in November 2019.
Authorities said they found the Malawian victims confined in inhumane conditions with armed guards controlling their movements.
The factory had a high wall and razor fence.
But I want to say to our people as well, they must know that we are taking these issues very seriously.
Government is working every day twice rooting out all these issues.
Prosecutors said the victims were forced to work 11-hour shifts seven days a week without safety equipment.
The South African Department of Labor expressed support for the sentence and urged greater collaboration among government agencies to help end human trafficking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In Africa.
No.
Gambling.
Of course.
Well, I thought that was a fun interesting story.
No one's gonna.
You know, by the way, we have rapid developments.
Rapid.
Oh, you're looking at the quad box.
The quad the quad screen says rapid developments.
It looks like this, the guy who they have been posting the picture all morning.
Like he was one of those um one of those uh people that Charlie uh what's the term you used with a Pole prolemicist.
He prolemicists, he polemicized that guy.
Yeah, because he always made people look foolish.
Yeah.
Well he looks like one of those guys.
Could be.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, I could imagine somebody getting irked and being made a fool of.
Uh, but I I always thought it was there were the people that were some of the dumb stuff people came up with with him is just ridiculous.
He was easy to it was easy pickings.
Well, what do you mean?
So you think they caught the guy?
I don't think so.
Uh soon new Trump comments on Charlie Kirk.
I don't know.
No, that's nothing.
But by the way, it's the same people that you love bringing on TikTok to the show.
It's the same people.
No, different people.
Okay.
Same category, same level, same caliber.
Well, I don't I I don't have anybody on the show.
I don't have one TikTok clip on this show.
Well, you have an EBT complainer woman.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, wait a second.
Here we go.
Oh, good lord.
Oh good lord.
Okay, well, play that.
I had to cancel my vacation with my family because where were we gonna go and vacation at?
They have already stopped certain things being able to be purchased with EBT.
Well, because of this, that would mean I would have to buy the majority of my family's food out of pocket.
And that would dig into my money I have for fun things.
So I had no other choice but to cancel the trip.
My family is so sad about this, and so am I. I don't understand why people want to control what other people buy with their EBT.
Like, how is it your business what I buy with my EBT?
And there it is.
There's the problem in America in a nutshell.
Right there.
Right there.
I can't use my EBT on vacation for whatever I want to buy.
Isn't that uh emergency benefits?
Isn't that what that is?
Emergency is that it's a food stamps program for people who are in dire straits and and who need to eat food.
Who need food, yes.
But there it is.
Uh enough said.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda.

So I posted in the chat.
Eric PP gets it back to me.
I save it.

That was the probably the worst promo I've ever heard.
And then No Agenda Millennial posts me a copy and says, Oh, I balance it for you.
And so I know Eric PP very well.
I'm like, oh, well, maybe Eric PP didn't have time, so that's very kind of you, no agenda millennial, and punked me with a little no agenda millennial promo right at the end of that.

All right.
I'm gonna do something that's a little uh food and wine related.
Ah, we always love the fine and wood wood and fine.
The what?
The wooden fine tips of the day.
Wood and wooden fine.
Yes, I gotta write that one down.
Wood and fine.
Uh sake.
Oh, oh, I most people don't know how to buy sake.
In fact, um, I'm very happy you're doing this because when we went out in Austin with the um uh former Hollywood executive.
We went to a very uh uh upscale uh sushi restaurant, I think it's neighborhood sushi restaurant.
And I ordered sake, and there was a list that was so long.
I'm like, just give me the winter warrior.
I had no idea what I was doing.
Yeah, that would be normal.
Not for you, for everybody.
Yes.
Uh okay.
So what you're looking for when you're buy a sake, there's a couple things that I didn't have an obscure.
The tip is actually the obscure ending to this little lecture.
You want to always get a ginjo, a ginjo shot sake.
Ginjo, is that G-I-N-J-O-G-I-N-G-O?
Gingo.
The J-O.
You gotta write the first one.
N G O, okay.
Yeah.
And it's if there's variations like Daijing uh ginjo or this other ginjos, it has to be any of those variations are fine.
They get better.
There's some better ginjos that are really elaborate, but they're very incredibly expensive.
But ginjo is your baseline.
You want to get a ginjo.
That means that's a sake that it ensures it's 100% rice.
They don't put neutral spirits in, like they do the cheaper grades of sake.
A lot of them have that in there.
If it doesn't say ginjo, you're gonna get neutral spirits watering it down.
Just crap.
Okay, you want ginjo.
Now, the funny thing is, and I've only noticed this over the years.
I and this is an observation that does not been documented, but it's an observation I made, and I made it initially about 30 years ago when I was at some event and a Japanese guy was there, and he gifted me a bottle of sake.
And it was terrific, one of the best bottles I've ever had.
I don't remember exactly what it was, but I do remember one characteristic, and I've noticed this over and over and over and over again.
When I buy sake from Costco, or I buy as long as it's ginjo, uh sake from Costco, and I buy sake from the our local Tokyo fish market.
If it's in a blue bottle, it's always good.
I know this has not been documented by anybody.
It's completely unconscious.
I have observed this over and over and over again over the years, and you'll see there's a whole bunch of sakes up on the wall, and one of them's in a blue bottle.
And that's the one.
Just buy that and see what happens.
It's gonna be good.
I have no idea if this if a Japanese uh sake expert can come and back me up on this, but I've always noticed that it's all the blue bottles bottled sakis, they are always the best.
I don't know.
Well, I would love for uh Sir Mark and Dave Masrid to uh chime in on this, but I do not doubt you.
And I'm always gonna say, excuse me, can I see the bottle for this?
Can I see all the bottles?
Well, now when you when you're at a when you're at a restaurant, they usually they usually okay, when you're at a restaurant, the sakis are generally in the big giant bottles.
Yes.
And the big giant bottles, which are, I don't know, liter and a half, or no, they're like two liters or huge.
And that's where they use the most of the sake, you get a lot of sake in these big huge bottles.
Blue bottles are delicate, so you won't find a big giant blue bottle because the nature of it, I think it's boron, maybe I forgot to find it.
Oh, I've learned another another tip.
Blue bottles are delicate.
This is another tip of the day.
Blue bottles are delicate, and they're that's why you don't see too many blue bottles because it's hard, they're hard to make.
Uh, when I was inspecting the glass factory at Pittsburgh Plate Glass, it used to be in Oakland.
I got this lecture about blue, we can't do all blue.
Oh, it's a pain in the ass.
They're they they're brittle, blah, blah, they're crappy, you know.
We don't like making blue.
Because it's a boron or something that goes in there and makes them brittle.
And so I've never seen a giant bottle of the even the same brand of sake in a blue bottle.
They're always the brown bottle.
So you can't necessarily look at the bottle in a restaurant uh because they're always gonna be these giant bottles that they use typically.
So you're gonna have to go just go with ginjo.
Ginjo, it is.
There it is.
His tip of the day, a very handy one.
Look out for the blue bottle, everybody.
Create bus for you and me.
Just the chin.

I remember the freezer trucks behind Lennox Hall Hospital where I work.
George, it feels like right now it is a chaotic situation.
And when we are on board, there is no captain steering the ship.
And I know there's a lot of misinformation and mistrust.
But one thing that should not be under fire is vaccination.
And the public health story success that vaccination has been in this country.
We know that it has saved millions of lives.
We know that it prevents disability from disease.
We forget that polio can cause paralysis.
Weasels can lead to brain inflammation.
So if you get sick, it can end up resulting in complications.
We have vaccines for cancer, HIV, and hepatitis.
