	The woman has three arms.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, January 1st, 2026.
	This is your award-winning Give One Nation Media Assassination episode 1830.
	This is no agenda.
	Starting four more years and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, we congratulate New York City on having a new mayor.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Yeah.
	Happy New Year, everybody.
	Woohoo!
	Yeah, 2026.
	Woo!
	It's awesome.
	Awesome.
	Is it just me?
	Or was this one of the quietest transitions we've ever had?
	And with that, I mean, I got very few texts this year.
	Fireworks seemed a lot more miserable.
	No, we were rained out.
	It was raining here.
	It's raining as we speak.
	Yeah.
	Which is the first time I can ever remember it raining on January 1st in the Bay Area.
	And so it's raining.
	So there's the fireworks there.
	Yeah, they had them.
	You could hear booms, but there was no, you couldn't see anything.
	No, it was here in Fredericksburg, Texas, very, very muted.
	Not a lot of people shooting stuff off.
	Television was extraordinarily boring this year.
	Like the same old dumb stuff they do.
	No one has any new ideas for what to do on New Year's on television.
	It seemed like the most exciting thing was on X people saying, hey, Grok, put a bikini on her.
	I missed that one.
	Oh, goodness.
	You haven't seen that?
	No.
	Oh, that's best.
	You haven't seen Fat JD.
	No, so there's this, the thing now is you post, if someone posts a picture of themselves, a woman, and then you do, at Grok, put a bikini on her.
	And then the next picture is that same woman with the bikini.
	Oh, that's a great feature.
	It just goes on and on.
	You don't have to do it in your own brain anymore.
	No.
	Too lazy.
	Like, hey, Grock, and you know, but then they're putting bikinis on dogs.
	You know, there's like, hey, Grok, show me the war criminal.
	You know, and there's Netanyahu.
	You know, all of this stuff.
	It's well worth the $1.3 trillion.
	I think it's perfect.
	We're being back to your thesis about things being slow.
	I have to say, this morning, they were doing it.
	They have this question and answer thing on one of the news stations, and they were going, they had all these guys around the roundtable saying, our New Year's party's over.
	I think so.
	And they were all, and everyone was saying, yeah, well, you know, you don't have to em all the time.
	And then they said, and then they brought up the question, what about kissing at New Year's?
	Oh, I don't know.
	It doesn't seem that important to me.
	What's the point?
	Dude, we were in bed at 10.30.
	In bed.
	I got a show tomorrow.
	I didn't have time for this nonsense.
	I'll kiss you now.
	Good night, baby.
	I got to get up early.
	Yeah.
	I think the last real good New Year's Eve party I attended, well, there were two.
	1987, I was just new at MTV.
	And they said, hey, you're going to do our live coverage.
	I'm like, oh, that sounds cool.
	And so they put me in my three-foot hair literally on Times Square with one bodyguard, and the camera was up on one time.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, there weren't, I mean, in 87, 86, 87, 87, 80, I'm not sure.
	It wasn't, you know, they weren't running around like, oh, ISIS might be getting you.
	No, people just showed up and they were hanging out and there weren't, you know, it was.
	Was it a big black dude?
	It was a white dude, white dude, but he had a big black gun, if that helped.
	And, you know, and so I, and they had the camera up on one Times Square, and you couldn't really hear anything.
	But that was one.
	But the real New Year's Eve party, I think, was 1990.
	No, 89.
	I'm sorry.
	And it was.
	You didn't have a year 2000 party?
	That's the big one, 99.
	I was back in Holland for that New Year's, which was insane because the Dutch, they just love their fireworks.
	Even though it's outlawed in Amsterdam, everyone loves their fireworks.
	There's videos online of entire streets with burnt out cars.
	I'm not kidding.
	And of course, this happened.
	A blaze so great there was no saving the church tower.
	In the middle of the night, as Amsterdam's residents were ringing in the new year, a major fire broke out in the historic Vandelkirk church.
	Firefighters tried to save the over 150-year-old structure, but they could not enter.
	The risk that the church would collapse was too great.
	As they doused it with water from hoses, authorities closed down the streets around the central Amsterdam monument.
	And local media said that nearby homes were evacuated because of the burning debris.
	An alert was issued about heavy smoke, and officials declared a regional emergency.
	It really is horrific.
	I've just been watching the mayor, the mayor of Amsterdam.
	Almost violently large.
	The church is very close to many houses.
	So apart from the loss of a magnificent monument for old people living nearby, it's really scary.
	Built in 1872, the church is in the center of Amsterdam and just a short walk from the popular Van Gogh Museum.
	The cause of the fire is still unknown.
	As investigators looking for New Year's fireworks were involved or not.
	Or not.
	Fireworks were not.
	This is a travesty.
	It wasn't raining there.
	This is a travesty, though.
	This church, man, it's a beautiful church.
	It completely destroyed.
	It was, yes.
	It looked a lot like the Notre Dame fire where the whole, you know, the steeple, everything, the spire, I think you call it, completely on fire and then the roof collapsing.
	It's bad.
	But I think that's very typical of Holland.
	You know, everyone's just so, what's the word I'm looking for?
	Not depressed, but they're just apathetic.
	They don't care.
	Like, life sucks.
	This is it.
	Russia's going to kill us.
	Whatever.
	We give up.
	And I think that's all.
	That's all.
	Let's take our bikes.
	Hey, Vladimir, take my bike.
	And I think that's kind of what's happening with Gen Z in the Zumerwaffen.
	I have a feeling that they're also like, yeah, you know, everything sucks.
	It's no good.
	Gen Zs are in out in force, not being covered.
	I have no clips.
	I don't know what to do about it because of the lack of clips in Iran.
	Now, interesting you bring that up.
	So, of course, we see what's happening in Iran.
	And I can play it.
	But no, we don't see what's happening.
	You should tell people what's happening.
	It's just this.
	I talked about it or just covered.
	I mean, there's a few bloggers covering it.
	I do have a, let's see, I have a.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah, I got a couple clips.
	So I'll tell you up front, right away I'm like, oh, it's kicking off in Iran.
	So I go to YouTube and I look for Iran Gen Z.
	And there's hundreds, hundreds of videos in Farsi, and they all go like this.
	Iran Gen Z protest live update, Farsi Farsi, Gen Z, Farsi, Farsi, Khamenei, Farsi, Farsi, Tehran Universe Protest, University protest.
	And they're all from, you know, like these outfits like, let me see, News Nation, but it's not the news nation you think it is.
	I think they're pretty much all AI generated.
	It seems to me that whatever is happening, and I do have an interesting, interesting clip where that's brought up.
	It seems like the Gen Z opus is trying to take credit for it or try and move that in.
	Hey, it's the Gen Zs that are doing this.
	But it's not working because there's just, it's not being reported that way.
	Here's, let me see, what is this one?
	In the Yaliways of Tehran's Grand Bazaar.
	Oh yeah, this is one thing I found.
	In the Yaleways of Tehran's Grand Bazaar, chants of don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
	We're all together.
	And they're not afraid.
	For four days in a row, oh no, this thing is full of nat pops.
	Streets.
	Some clash with the riot police.
	Anger sparked by an economy in turmoil and soaring living costs.
	I should actually point out that the only clips I could get were from British outfits, including BBC.
	This is from Channel 4.
	In the last year, Iran's currency has lost nearly half of its value against the US dollar.
	Inflation has seen food prices rise by 72%.
	According to one Tehran resident whose identity we are protecting, everyday items are becoming unaffordable.
	Families who once belonged to the middle class are now worried about paying their rent.
	In the past, people worried about affording meat and fruit.
	Now they are struggling to buy basic items like rice and eggs.
	In my view, people are truly exhausted.
	They've reached their breaking point.
	They no longer want this regime and are demanding change.
	The protests soon spread outside the capital, with similar scenes taking place in Isfahan, Shirad in the south, and Mashhad in the northeast.
	In the city of Farsa, a group of people are seen trying to break into a government building.
	And no major crackdown from the government yet.
	Iran's leaders avoiding the heavy police response seen in previous protests.
	Instead, saying they're open to dialogue, offering to listen to the demands of protesters.
	The government will listen patiently, even if there are harsh voices, because we believe that our people are patient enough.
	The government's job is to hear the voices and help them reach a common understanding to solve the problems that exist in society.
	There's no calm outside universities.
	Students are now joining the demonstrations.
	So students are joining the demonstrations.
	I just don't think it's our classic Gen Z psyop.
	But what was interesting, the second part of this report.
	Well, by the way, which may be confirmed by the fact that it's not getting any coverage whatsoever.
	Correct.
	Here is the Middle East director of Chatham House, who they bring in.
	There you go.
	Exactly.
	So let's hear what she has to say.
	I don't think that the regime itself is in a moment of imminent danger, really, because the Islamic Republic of Iran, as we have witnessed over many years of protests, is institutionalized and has a bureaucracy that is willing to remain united and push back against dissent in the country.
	But what the system is looking to avoid is a long-scale, protracted standoff.
	Iran's leadership knows the quickest way to ease pressure is letting U.S. sanctions.
	But with President Donald Trump this week threatening to, quote, knock the hell out of Iran if it rebuilt its missile program, the diplomatic mood is far from positive.
	All right, so we did get one little viral moment, just a very brief one, which they're trying to push.
	An image that quickly went viral in Iran.
	A man sits down in the middle of the street in silent protest.
	Facing him, lines of Iranian security personnel on motorbikes.
	So like a Tiananmen Square type deal is what this guy's doing.
	You know, kneeling in the US.
	You might as well do it that way.
	And here's the BBC report.
	Protests are continuing for a third day in Iran against rising prices and an increase in the price of foreign currency.
	Students from several universities have joined the demonstrations, which were started on Sunday by shopkeepers and market stall holders.
	Tehran province has been the center of the protests.
	Parts of Tehran markets are also closed.
	David Bamford reports.
	These are the largest demonstrations.
	Demonstrations since the Woman Life Freedom protests three years ago, sparked by the death of an Iranian woman, Maksa Amini, while in police custody.
	Today, students from the major universities in Tehran, including Sharif and Beheshdi, have joined the protests.
	A strike continues in Tehran's Grand Bazaar and commercial districts, with merchants keeping shops closed.
	There's also fresh unrest in the central city of Isfahan, where students from the University of Technology have taken to the streets.
	Ostensibly, these are protests about food price increases of up to 70% year on year.
	Sounds a bit like an Arab Spring thing.
	Oh, yeah, bread is expensive.
	Yeah, also, they got that angle, but they also have not mentioned which a lot of these bloggers have talked about, that they ran out of water.
	They've been out of water for a couple months because of a drought and just mismanagement.
	Ostensibly, these are protests about food price increases of up to 70% year on year and soaring inflation.
	The security forces have deployed heavily, but videos show them pulling back amid the public anger.
	State media say Iran's president, Mashrir Pezashkian, urged his own government to listen to what he called the legitimate demands of the protesters and make reforms.
	Some in the crowd can be heard.
	I get the kick out of the guy who's supposedly running the country saying, The government should listen.
	He is the government, isn't he?
	No, I guess not.
	So it's a fake.
	Yeah.
	State media say Iran's president, Mashrir Pezashkian, urged his own government to listen to what he called the legitimate demands of the protesters and make reforms.
	Some in the crowd can be heard shouting political slogans calling for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic.
	Slogans that can be heard include death to the dictator targeting supreme leader Khamenei, the real power in Iran, and this is the final battle.
	Paklavi will return, a reference to the family of the ruling Shah of Iran ousted in the late 1970s.
	That's the kid in London, isn't it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, there's a number of protests.
	Again, we don't know if this is AI or if it's real, but where there's big crowds chanting his name.
	I did get one U.S. report.
	This is CNN.
	Iran, back in the news for a couple of reasons.
	Its government said today it would seek a dialogue with protest leaders after demonstrations in Tehran and other cities over a surge in inflation.
	Do you think this poses a danger to the government there?
	I think Tehran, as we all know, it's a theocratic autocracy.
	And like a lot of autocracies, as they say, I used to live in Africa.
	I used to say in Africa, when the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.
	That's a new one.
	You never heard that before.
	This is the great philosopher they have on a CNN.
	Say in Africa, when the elephants fight.
	What does Africa have to do with Iran?
	This is odd.
	As they say, I used to live in Africa.
	They say in Africa, when the elephants fight, the grass gets trampled.
	And Iran, the grass is being trampled.
	And who is fighting?
	It's Tehran versus the rest of the folks in the region and the U.S.
	And they've been hit by inflation.
	They've been collating Sean McFate.
	Economic sanctions.
	All because Israel, all because Iran.
	What?
	What?
	Truth just came out.
	Hold on a second.
	And they've been hit by inflation.
	They've been hit by all sorts of economic sanctions.
	All because Israel, all because Iran doesn't want to give up its nuclear weapons program.
	Oh, really?
	That's what it is?
	Oh, that's what it is.
	Oh, brother.
	This is CNN at its best.
	They have no water for three months, but it's because of the nukes.
	Sure.
	And so this is always a threat to Tehran.
	But Tehran usually just squeezes down like autocracies and pressures them away.
	And that's probably what's going to happen again.
	But the other problem is that Iran has also declared war basically on Israel and others as we speak.
	And we'll see where that goes.
	It's a tough, frightening talk from a volatile region.
	Frightening talk from a volatile region.
	You can't ignore the coincidence, of course, of Netanyahu showing up at Mar-a-Lago and telling Trump, hey, you know, they're thinking of moving their nukes.
	The whole thing, it just, it feels coordinated, but they don't have a message yet.
	Or they didn't plan the message, or maybe it's actually real.
	I think it might be.
	It feels like it because no one is doing the messaging right.
	They've been having enough coordinated bullcrap riots and color revolutions that somebody may have a clue and have figured it out.
	You just need one leader.
	And it's possible.
	And I told you, we talked months ago that the kid who's been in exile in London, he appears to be the one they want now.
	Or were they saying, let's go, Brandon?
	I'm not sure what they were using.
	It could be both.
	Yeah.
	It's hard to know.
	I got to call Lex.
	I got to ask him.
	Why is it hard to know?
	Because nobody's covering it.
	Where's the boots on the ground from the news media?
	CNN has some guy giving us aphorisms from Africa, you know, sitting in the studio.
	Why don't you go out there and do some get put your feet on the ground and go float around and find out what's going on?
	Which brings news media.
	You're getting paid money to do that.
	You have huge budgets.
	Which brings me to the New Year's Day message from CBS Evening News, Tony de Koupel.
	DeKoupel.
	Is that his name?
	You recorded it?
	Yes.
	Of course I did.
	Unbelievable.
	Now, this has to be Barry Weiss in the background, I presume.
	But it basically, we've been screwing you over for 50 years with our CBS Evening News.
	Yeah.
	You want to say something?
	Well, a couple of things.
	Barry, it might be just, it might be by the way.
	Well, Barry Weiss would be the representative, but Barry Weiss might have gone in there and pushed for something like this.
	And I think this may be a satire.
	Well, I mean, I thought it was a satire, but I looked at it.
	No, I mean, no, not like a fake video that's turned into a satire, but I'm saying literally by DeKoupol or whatever his name is, actually going over the top so far that it's like laughable.
	So they're laughing on purpose.
	They're laughing in the newsroom.
	Look at these suckers.
	Yeah, we'll tell them.
	I'm just considering it.
	Well, let's analyze.
	Because it's out of control.
	It's so stupid to do something like this.
	Well, the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group would have never advised this, that's for sure.
	That's for sure.
	A lot has changed since the first person sat in this chair.
	But for me, the biggest difference is people do not trust us like they used to.
	And it's not just us.
	It's all of legacy media.
	Yeah, for 18 years.
	I do, because I've been hearing about it from just about everybody for more than 20 years as I've traveled America on this assignment or that.
	My mom's neighbors in West Virginia.
	I look where he starts right away.
	My mom doesn't like it.
	My mom's neighbor.
	Mom complained to me.
	Okay.
	For more than 20 years as I've traveled America on this assignment or that.
	My mom's neighbors in West Virginia, my own neighbors in New York City.
	Thousands and thousands of conversations in between.
	Sometimes people want to talk to me about our coverage of NAFTA or the Iraq war.
	Huh?
	What?
	How old are those people?
	Hey, man.
	You know, maybe some people should realize what we're listening to here.
	I don't think we gave it enough background.
	This is Tony DeKoupol, the guy who's taking over CBS nightly news.
	Evening news.
	Evening news.
	Evening, evening.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's taking over the news slot.
	He's bumped out.
	You know, whoever was there before got bumped.
	Nora was there for a while.
	And this is kind of a pre-maya culpa, apologizing for all the screw-ups they had in the past.
	I'm the new guy.
	We're going to do it differently.
	This kind of thing.
	And it's just awkward.
	But in case anybody wonders what we're listening to.
	Other times it's all about Hillary Clinton's emails or Russia Gate.
	Or more recently, COVID lockdowns, Hunter Biden's laptop, or the president's fitness for office.
	I think they should literally do a story on each of these things starting today and give us the truth.
	That would be a good follow-up.
	Somehow, I doubt that's in the works.
	No, I don't think so.
	On too many stories, the press has missed the story.
	Yeah, it missed the story like it was a scam, everything's fake and gay, and you guys are leading it.
	Because we've taken into account the perspective of advocates and not the average American.
	Really?
	This is such an admission.
	We've taken the account of advocates.
	Or really poor form.
	Yeah, basically saying, you know, we've worked for other people.
	Or we put too much weight in the analysis of academics or elites and not enough on you.
	Yes.
	And I know that's the only thing because at certain people.
	The plebs.
	I have been you.
	I have felt this way too.
	I am you.
	CBS News.
	I am you.
	I felt like what I was seeing.
	I wouldn't be surprised to see that as a catchphrase.
	Well, we'll give it to them.
	CBS News.
	I.
	And then that little I logo.
	I am you.
	And I know this because at certain points, I have been you.
	I have felt this way too.
	I felt like what I was seeing and hearing on the news didn't reflect what I was seeing and hearing in my own life.
	And that the most urgent questions simply weren't being asked.
	So here's my promise to you.
	Today and every time you see me in this chair.
	I will be wearing pants.
	You come first.
	Not advertisers, not politicians, not corporate interests.
	And yes, that does include the corporate owners of CBS.
	Yeah, which is now Allison.
	Yeah.
	I report for you, which means I tell you what I know when I know it and how I know it.
	Oh.
	And when I get it wrong, I know it in my knower.
	I'll tell you that too.
	It also means I'm going to talk to everybody and hold everyone in public life to the very same standard.
	After all, I became a journalist.
	He'll tell you everything he knows.
	He's holding them to account.
	This guy, by the way, was on the morning.
	This guy's on the morning show.
	He was a morning guy, and he was the dumbest of the group.
	He was always saying stupid stuff, asking dumb questions.
	He's just, I don't want to just demean the guy, but he's a dummy.
	That's good.
	The dummy's almost done.
	It also means I'm going to talk to everybody and hold everyone in public life to the very same standard.
	After all, I became a journalist to talk to people.
	I love talking to people about what works in this country, what doesn't.
	Is that why you become a journalist to talk to people?
	I've never heard that being the reason to become a journalist.
	Start a podcast.
	Become a journalist.
	Document reality.
	Become a podcaster, man.
	You can talk to anybody.
	And not only change, but the good ideas that should never change.
	I think telling the truth is one of them.
	I'm Tony DeCoppol, the anchor of the CBS Evening News.
	Hold me to it.
	You bet.
	Hold me to it.
	Hold me to it.
	CBS, hold me to it.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Well, in this honesty vein of our buddy here.
	Yeah, it's great.
	At first, I'm like, this is fake.
	This has to be fake.
	This can't be real.
	And so you've held me to account, people.
	You've held me to account.
	I have stolen valor on my heart.
	I feel like no, it's the AI that stole the valor and you just stole from AI.
	Here is, so the clip of the day on the last episode, last year, so it doesn't really count as last year, of Yannis Verifakis was AI.
	And he discussed it recently on Unheard, and it was rather an interesting two-clip conversation.
	I received a message, some WhatsApp message from a very esteemed colleague.
	Yes, the Kuri Dvorek podcast.
	They said, hey, is this you?
	A person whose opinion I value a lot.
	Oh, yeah.
	And he was congratulating me over a YouTube video of mine, and he had a link in there.
	So this was spot on, Yannis.
	It's a really very good analysis.
	It wasn't the one you showed just now.
	So I clicked on the link to remind myself of what it is that I had said, which my colleague liked.
	And it was two minutes into the video that I realized it wasn't me.
	Two minutes is an eternity.
	So if the guy himself didn't realize it for two minutes, that's too much blame, even though I rebuke and denounce and renounce the clip of the day.
	Denounce and renounce.
	And listen to how we actually figured it out.
	When you have somebody saying things you never said, but which you could have said.
	The reason why I caught on to this was because you see this blue shirt?
	Well, I was wearing it in that video.
	But that video was set in my office in Athens.
	Here I'm talking to you from my island home, and this shirt has never left.
	Way, remind me to use that line today.
	I'm talking to you from my island home.
	I'm not in my regular home, my island home.
	It was this juxtaposition of my blue shirt from one house to the other that alerted me to the fact that it wasn't me, and you know.
	Then, of course, I started digging into it and it turns out that the words that you just heard I have never spoken but alas, they are words that I could have spoken.
	The analysis is not far off mine, and there have been videos that i've watched of myself where I would articulate an argument in ways that I don't disagree with that.
	Maybe I would have said it, but then and this is the most insidious part you can, i'm sure you can understand it, i'm sure our audience can understand it.
	Then suddenly, a sentence would be inserted in my solidoquy that I would never have said, and that is where the defamatory part starts.
	That's when I I blew my top and I started writing to Google and to META and uh, Instagram and so on.
	I blew my top, he blew his, I blew my top top top, top.
	The funnier part of the story is when he tried to do something about it, which brings us to the the, the whole monetization system that big tech has imposed upon an unsuspecting world.
	Because, you know, as you can imagine, the first thing I did when I came across these fake videos was to write to Google and to META and to these people.
	It took days before I got a response.
	The desponse was interestingly, of course, AI generated.
	Then I insisted on on talking to a real person.
	I don't know whether they succeeded, maybe they.
	They, they referred me to a more realistic version of AI, who wrote a more human-like letter.
	In the end, it took eight days, nine days after my first form that I filled, and so, and I submitted illustrating and demonstrating and proving that these are deep fake versions of me uh and, and they brought them.
	They brought one channel down and then, within seconds, the same material re-emerged in a different channel, under a different name, but the same videos and it.
	I realized within two weeks that this was a losing game.
	He's given up.
	He's just given up on it.
	You can't even you can't even talk to a real person at Google about this.
	It's amazing.
	It's an amazing time we live in.
	I'll tell you that yeah, this is a problem.
	Yeah, I think this is more of a problem than we.
	We like to think oh, it's a huge problem, but yeah, it's the model, obviously it's the, it's the well, the monetization model.
	Well we I, I expect that that there'll be moments, uh it over the next year, where where we'll be suckered into uh, many times, more than once.
	Yeah i'm, i'm sure, playing a clip from someone who is, it's, it's a perfect clip.
	Yeah, and uh, it's not done in such a way that it gives itself away as being a fake.
	And uh, it'll be, it'll be a good clip, but it'll be fake.
	It won't be the guy.
	I mean, this was what happened and it's unfortunate, but uh I, I well, it's just gonna happen.
	The funny thing is, is that the clip that we played was him talking about Russia's retaliation against the?
	Uh, the freezing, the permanent freezing of the Russian assets at EURO Clear and other banks in the EU.
	And so I I went and said well, did this actually happen or not?
	That did, was this just a report that they used him, and it turns out uh yes, Russia nationalized a whole bunch of Eu companies but they did it a year ago which we didn't even hear about, including Carlsberg, Danona, Fortum, Uniper.
	I mean, so and totaling even more than the fake AI clip said, this all happened.
	Yeah, this seems to me to be the Russians.
	They can do AI as well as, I mean, they can use the same tools we have, and they have smart people.
	And they have to, they have to be beside Putin's people have to be beside themselves with, how come this, we're going to, okay, you guys are going to do that.
	We're going to do this.
	And nobody reports it.
	And so they say, nobody's reporting on what we're up to.
	We're not going to.
	Then we'll do this.
	Then we'll do that.
	Then we'll do this.
	What are we going to do to get?
	And so after a year, they say, what can we do to get this information out there?
	It says nobody will pick it up.
	Let's do a fake video with this guy because they love him and just put it out there and just soak the market with it and let the virals take it over.
	And that's what they did.
	I'm absolutely convinced that this is Russian intelligence.
	And make sure those dopes at the No Agenda Show see it.
	Send a copy to Curry, that guy.
	He's a sucker for the Ruskies.
	Yeah.
	Which kind of brings into question this whole drone attack on Putin's home.
	Yeah, I have a couple.
	I have a clip on that, but I have an intro overview clip of that.
	Do you want to do it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'll play that and then you do whatever you want to play it.
	From a snowy Moscow this morning, the Kremlin keeping up its latest flurry of accusations against Ukraine.
	The Kyiv was trying to undermine progress towards a peace deal by launching a drone attack on one of Vladimir Putin's residences.
	This is Channel 4 again.
	Ukraine has ridiculed the claims, but Russia nonetheless promising to toughen its stance.
	That military today releasing images of what it said were its Oreshnik hypersonic nuclear-capable missiles being deployed in Belarus.
	Russia claims Ukraine launched 91 drones in a mass attack on the Putin residence.
	They would have had to fly more than 400 miles through heavily defended airspace en route to the target, a sprawling complex on the northeastern shore of Lake Valdai, itself guarded by 12 nearby air defense batteries.
	There are no local reports of any explosions.
	I learned about it from President Putin today.
	President Trump meeting the Israeli prime minister yesterday challenged on whether U.S. intelligence had any evidence it had happened.
	You're saying maybe the attack didn't take place.
	It's possible too, I guess.
	But President Putin told me this morning it did.
	Now as for the timing of this, I mean, politically, it wouldn't be a very judicious moment to strike in this way.
	No, I mean, for all sorts of reasons.
	Firstly, there is...
	This is some dude from the University College of London.
	And in formal etiquette, shall we say, that you don't go after the other side's leaders or else you face that same threat yourself.
	Secondly, it would risk doing away with all of the goodwill generated by Zelensky's trip to Florida.
	And thirdly, the problem is Zelensky did in his Christmas address pretty openly wish for Putin's death.
	So in that context, again, this would look a little bit too on the nose.
	So let's look at the three options.
	Well, let's listen to the, by the way, that was the guy with a British accent doing his reporting.
	Yes.
	Can I say what I was going to say?
	So here are the options.
	The pause was.
	That was my pregnant picture.
	Which, by the way, does cut out some Bluetooth headsets.
	I'm sorry.
	When we have a pause, there's still some Bluetooth headsets out there that see zero bites and think, oh, the podcast's over and it disconnects.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	This is a recurring problem.
	That's idiotic.
	Well, because of the noise gate, there is zero.
	I mean, it's not like a little bit.
	It's just there's zero noise.
	And the Bluetooth thinks, oh, it's quiet, so I'll just disconnect.
	Oh, heaven forbid that we actually have a production that produces quietly quiet time.
	As opposed to a buzzing sound or whatever, the reservation.
	Well, the solution, of course, is just to listen to us at 10x, and you'll be fine.
	So the options are, one, Ukraine did this.
	B, it was a false flag by Russia, or C, which I think is more likely, is that something, maybe not 91 drones, but something was lit up by the North Sea nexus.
	Which is where my clips go.
	To interrupt the negotiations between.
	Which is where my clips go.
	Well, I heard you, so I'm ready for your clips.
	Well, first, just as the intro clip, to counter your intro clip, I have one from NTD that we can play before I play the clips of the Nexus clips.
	Okay.
	Two days after an alleged attack on Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow is now releasing video footage for the first time.
	According to the Kremlin, Ukraine launched over 90 drones at Putin's residence on Monday overnight.
	After international calls for evidence to back up the claim, Russia released this video on Wednesday showing one drone in a dark forest.
	Neither the location nor the date of the video could be independently verified.
	Zelensky denies the claims of an attack, saying Russia is lying to undermine the peace process, which had been developing fast before the alleged attack.
	Also on Wednesday, President Trump shared a New York Post article, which states that the drone strike likely never happened.
	A day earlier, the U.S. ambassador to NATO also cast doubt on the accusation that Ukraine attacked Putin's residence.
	He said it's unclear whether the attack actually happened.
	The ambassador added that he wants to see U.S. intelligence on the incident.
	Meanwhile, the U.S. continues working on a possible peace deal, speaking with Ukrainian and European officials.
	Special Envoy Steve Witkoff says they, quote, focus on how to move the discussions forward in a practical way on behalf of President Trump's peace process.
	Okay.
	Well, I think option C is still the most viable that the North Sea Nexus was fiddling about to disrupt these peace talks because they are warmongers and they want war.
	They just want.
	They are.
	They just want war.
	They want their children to die.
	Yes, they do.
	Like, oh, you're going to go into the army now, son.
	Yeah.
	Her children to die.
	Hey, child sacrifice is powerful aphrodisiac.
	So yeah.
	Well, here is the this is a woman that showed up on this Prometheus project very much.
	Hold on, hold on.
	You know that I introduced them to the podcast three months ago.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, here she is giving her spiel, which makes, by the way, what you just said makes it sound as though you stole the Nexus idea from them.
	No, I because let me just remind you.
	I played the clips from Ton Luongo from Gold, Goats, and Guns.
	I played three clips from the LaRouche ladies, which is their former LaRouche ladies.
	And I said the only thing they're doing wrong is they're calling it the Dutch Anglo, the Dutch Anglo system.
	And that's when on that very podcast, I said, I'm calling it the North Sea Nexus.
	So I give them full credit.
	This woman who's another one who I think is a LaRouche because Barbara Kokinda?
	Yeah.
	Or Susan Kokinda.
	I'm sorry.
	The other one's Barbara.
	I don't know one of the campaigns.
	They're both LaRouche ladies.
	Okay, they were Laura.
	Maybe you should explain who LaRouche was.
	Lyndon LaRouche.
	You said it later.
	Lyndon LaRouche.
	Slowly I turn.
	Mark Levin.
	Lyndon LaRouche.
	Linden LaRouche was this guy with this unbelievably affectatious delivery of I wish I could do his voice, but he was a he is in he's in a conspiracy category all his own.
	Wow, this is before I was in the game.
	He's very singular, and people should look him up and try to follow because it's like very compelling.
	It's like David Ike without the reptilian stuff.
	But it's close to it, but it's this complex system, how the world works that is it makes it makes some sort of sense.
	And once they hypnotize you into believing it, this woman has the, she has those elements, but at the same time, this is closer to what your thesis is based on, except she kind of takes the nexus and instead of making it a nexus, is mostly just the British monarchy.
	But it falls in line with what we're thinking as opposed to what the mainstream podcasting verse is thinking, which is Israel, Just asking questions.
	So it's fun.
	And I have a bunch of these.
	One of them is long, but the rest of them are pretty short.
	Of her discussing this.
	And it shows that somebody sent this clip earlier this morning, even though I picked it up yesterday.
	But they sent it and say, this is proof that Adam is right about the net.
	There's no proof.
	There's no proof in here.
	Yes, it is.
	It's proof.
	I was right.
	There's no proof.
	This is all a thesis.
	And it's stretched a bit because there's some moments where she's adding to it.
	But the fact that she's got clips from the House of Lords and they're all concerned.
	Oh, I've seen this one.
	Yeah, this is good.
	This is good.
	This is good.
	And the House of Lords is all bent out.
	I'm sorry.
	Play the clip, but I'll stop talking.
	Yes, this is indeed Susan Kokinda.
	The national security strategy is a mortal threat to the British Empire.
	And we're going to activate all of our networks in the United States to try and stop it.
	They're saying this because they're terrified.
	But if you listen to the noise in Washington and in social media, you'd think Trump was the one losing control.
	Because in the last few days after the president met with Zelensky and Netanyahu, the political world has exploded.
	Now, if you listen to Mike Pompeo and the neocons, Trump sold out to Putin.
	If you listen to the anti-war crowd, he sold out to Zielinski.
	If you follow the MAGA wars or Marjorie Taylor Green, you're being told he surrendered to Israel.
	Or can we just do America?
	They're all wrong.
	What you just witnessed wasn't a sellout.
	It was a takeover.
	It was the first live-fire test of the very strategy the British are trying to kill.
	Trump hasn't surrendered.
	He signed the Do Not Resuscitate Order for the British post-war world.
	And that's why they're not celebrating in London or Brussels today.
	I like the writing.
	The writing is good.
	You know, the do not resuscitate.
	That's mature writing.
	They realize the special relationship.
	Their ability to manipulate American power for their wars is over, as long as Donald Trump is calling the shots.
	I'm Susan Kokinda.
	I became politically active way back in 1968.
	Whoa.
	Campaigning for Robert F. How old is she?
	She's pretty much, she looks like my age.
	Yeah.
	She's a septuagenarian for sure.
	She has a- She's got to be.
	And I was the same as her.
	I can parallel it because I was a Kennedy guy.
	You were a Democrat.
	You were a liberal.
	I was a Democrat.
	I was all for Robert F. Kennedy.
	And then I went to, then I was for George McGovern, and that, who is the worst candidate they've ever featured.
	He went to Berkeley to give a lecture.
	I went to and talked to him.
	I got to meet him.
	Did you get his autograph?
	He was the nicest guy in the world.
	What?
	Did you get his autograph?
	You know, I'm looking back on my life.
	Oh, wow.
	I'm looking back at my life and thinking of the autographed autographs I missed.
	I could have retired.
	I could have retired on Stan Lee alone.
	Stan Lee shows up at Tech TV and I'm chatting with him.
	Who is Stan Lee?
	No one knows who Stan Lee is.
	Come on.
	Stan Lee the Marvel Comics guy.
	Boomers.
	Everybody knows who Stan Lee is.
	And so if I had brought 10 comic books and had him sign 10 comic books, Stan Lee Stanley, they were auctioning those for $10,000 a pop.
	Wow, you'd retire for a whole year.
	Awesome.
	Well, I could retire for a few months, but I'm just saying that's just one of many guys I dropped the ball on getting an autograph from.
	And you are the proto-archivist, and yet you drop the ball on the autographs.
	That's interesting.
	It's pathetic.
	I became politically active way back in 1968, campaigning for Robert F. Kennedy Sr. in California when he was assassinated.
	For decades, my colleagues at Promethean Action and I have been in the real fight.
	So take it from a political veteran.
	If enough of you understand what Trump is doing, we're going to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence in 2026 by finishing the job.
	So just as a little aside about the Promethean Action, ever since I introduced it to the show and we started with the North Sea Nexus, at least twice, sometimes five times a day, someone will send me a link.
	They do three videos a week.
	Someone will send me a link and say, here's proof.
	You were right.
	This is it.
	So what I'm happy about is that they're getting traction because they are on this day and night.
	They do a live stream for like five hours on Thursdays.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah.
	So I'm happy that they're getting traction with this.
	We got other things to do.
	Like Iran, whatever.
	Like it's not as things.
	There's other things besides all connected.
	It's all connected.
	It might be connected, but it's like there's a lot of work to do besides just our heartbrent on one.
	We got TikTok videos to play.
	Come on.
	And I do have a couple of people.
	I know you do.
	I know you do.
	And they're gems.
	But anyway, let's continue with the North Sea Nexus.
	The 2025 National Security Strategy.
	And this week, Trump used it to clear the board.
	So let's start with Russia and Ukraine.
	The British and the EU sent Zelensky to Mar-a-Laga with a mission.
	Did you basically cut up the whole 15-minute report?
	No, the fact they didn't even start at the beginning.
	Oh, okay.
	Demand open-ended.
	And the problem is she, her problem is a couple of things.
	With the 15-minute report.
	I got a lot of minutes, but not the whole thing.
	The problem is she repeats herself two or three times.
	And she also, then she goes into a sales pitch for the Prometheus, whatever the hell is.
	Promethean action and their book, How the British Kill Our President.
	Yeah, and she goes on and on and on.
	So I cut all that stuff out.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	So it's a stripped down version of the LaRouche ladies.
	Nice.
	Gigs.
	Demand open-ended security guarantees, NATO membership, and keep the war machine running.
	They're operating off of Winston Churchill's post-war.
	By the way, that's something you never want to see.
	What?
	Strip-down LaRouche ladies.
	They're operating off of Winston Churchill.
	I bet you she was really cute in her 20s and 30s.
	Maybe I'm going to look her up.
	Post-war playbook that says Russia is our permanent enemy.
	But Trump is operating off his new national security strategy.
	And here's what it says.
	It is a core interest of the United States to negotiate an expeditious cessation of hostilities in Ukraine to prevent unintended escalation or expansion of the war and reestablish strategic stability with Russia.
	And then a little later, and to end the perception and prevent the reality of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.
	That is what is driving Trump's negotiating position with Zielinski.
	So how did the empire respond to Trump's refusal to bend?
	Immediately after the meeting, drones attacked President Putin's residence in Valdai.
	The Russians were furious, but they called it a slap in the face to Trump.
	Now, ask yourself, was this really just Zelensky going rogue?
	Or was the British hand at work?
	We're not alone in pointing out that British intelligence plays a bigger role in guiding these drone systems than the Ukrainians do.
	As the conservative Treehouse blog put it in their coverage of the attack, I suspect the British did it.
	So this wasn't a military strike.
	It was a sabotage operation designed to blow up the Trump-Putin peace channel.
	But Trump and Putin refused to take the bait.
	They aren't pawns anymore.
	Here's Trump's response.
	President Putin told me about it.
	Early in the morning, he said he was attacked.
	It's no good.
	It's no good.
	Don't forget, you know, the Tomahawks.
	I stopped the Tomahawks.
	I didn't want that.
	Because we're talking about, you know, it's a delicate period of time.
	This is not the right time.
	It's one thing to be offensive because they're offensive.
	It's another thing to attack his house.
	It's not the right time to do any of that.
	Now is not the time to attack his house.
	That's later, not right now.
	So who is he talking to?
	The president is always talking to somebody.
	So was he in this case?
	That was just at one of those mini press conferences.
	I know, but was he hypothetically speaking to Ukraine?
	Or is he an undertone there?
	You know what I mean?
	I think he was hypothetically speaking to the Nexus.
	That's what I would presume.
	Yes.
	He's saying, look, we figured out what you're up to.
	No, this is not the time.
	No, stop it.
	Yeah, this is an issue.
	Okay, onward.
	And Putin's spokesman Ushikov reported that in that conversation with Trump, Vladimir Putin emphasized that the Russian side intends to continue close and productive work with its U.S. partners in searching for ways to achieve peace.
	Now, watch how this same grand strategy explains the panic over the Netanyahu meeting.
	For decades, the British have used the Mideast as the cockpit of war.
	They've created Zionism and Islamic fundamentalism to play the superpowers and victim nations against each other.
	Yep.
	The new national security strategy flips over.
	It accurately states that for a half century, American foreign policy prioritized the Mideast above all other regions because it was a major energy supplier and it described it as a prime theater of superpower competition.
	But the NSS goes on to say those dynamics no longer hold because superpower competition has given way to great power jockey in which the United States retains the most enviable position, reinforced by President Trump's successful revitalization of our alliances in the Gulf with other Arab partners and with Israel.
	Catch that?
	Revitalization of our alliances in the Gulf with other Arab partners and with Israel.
	Not Israel first, despite what Tucker Carlson thinks.
	Trump is saying, we're not playing your games any longer.
	And he is deliberately and quietly removing countries from the grip of the geopoliticians and treating them as independent nations with common interests with the United States, not as pawns or gas stations or triggers for religious prophecy.
	I mean, I can't argue that.
	That is what I see happening along with the Core 5.
	Yeah, the Core Five.
	The Core Five, yes.
	That would be the end point.
	Yeah.
	So, okay, I think we're on a clip four.
	So the British Empire isn't going to go down without a fight.
	On December 11th, not too long after Trump released his national security strategy, the British House of Lords was already, they held a pearl-clutching session about the NSS and what they had to do about it.
	I thought, by the way, just in advance, I thought this was kind of weak after the setup.
	I'm like, okay, maybe.
	Yeah, no, this is where she has, this is weak.
	There's two clips here, and they're both of them.
	You have to read a lot into it.
	But then again, if you look at it from the perspective of British, of the British, you know, they understate so much that it's, I mean, as a policy, as a way of communicating.
	Fair point.
	That is quite likely they were saying a lot more than we can understand.
	First, Lord Beamish happily reported that the U.S. Congress doesn't agree with Trump and his national security strategy.
	Last week, the U.S. Congress, on a bipartisan basis, passed the National Defense Authorization Act, which was signed by the President on Thursday night.
	That act gives a commitment to U.S. troops in Europe, also highlights that it sees Russia as a threat, not just to Europe, but to the United States, and also gives a commitment to future U.S. commitment to providing the senior military figure for SACUER, the leader of the commander of NATO.
	Does my honorable friend, my noble friend agree that we should be looking at actions rather than some of the wild statements come from the White House?
	Then Lord Randolph reported that he had just been in the U.S., where he discussed the problem of the national security strategy with members of the U.S. Congress.
	I was in Washington, D.C. last week with other members of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
	And when the national security strategy was discussed with our fellow elected members in the U.S., their message was clear that NSSs come and go.
	Sometimes they're implemented and sometimes they don't.
	But we should judge by what Congress passes.
	And the National Defense Appropriation Act last week delivered an extra £8 billion to European defense and put a floor of some 76,000 troops, U.S. troops in Europe.
	Did you hear that?
	National security strategies come and go.
	Does that remind you of what we reported last week, how outlets of empire like Chatham House and the Council on Foreign Relations want to outlast the president?
	Yeah, I've been noticing this too.
	This idea of outlasting the president.
	Yes.
	I mean, even some Republicans are kind of letting that shine through.
	Josh Schumer brings it up too.
	Sure.
	It's only three more years.
	Yeah, three more years, we're good.
	Yeah, we can put three more years up.
	But it also shows you that who's really running shows is the military-industrial complex.
	The whole NDAA was at least $150 billion more than Trump even wanted with his big, beautiful battleships.
	Where'd that come from?
	From Congress.
	Yeah.
	The battleship.
	Yeah.
	Which clip were we on?
	I think five.
	Yes.
	Oh, man.
	Good.
	We're getting there.
	How they're maintaining their Trojan horses in the Congress and the rest of the political landscape.
	The rhinos, the never-trumpers like Mike Pence and the Koch interests.
	So while too many in the MAGA base are caught up.
	In a previous episode, she mentioned that Chatham House has put all of their eggs in the Mike Pence basket and that they're pushing that Chatham House, so read the British intelligence community, are pushing for Pence to run in 2028.
	Yeah, I'm on their mailing list.
	I get a lot of good stuff from them.
	In the fabricated faction fights and secondary issues, or frankly, are acting like five-year-olds demanding headline grabbing indictments right now.
	Donald Trump is dismantling a strategic architecture that has been in place since 1945, an architecture that's used the United States as the dumb giant in the British Empire's globalist schemes, and the British know it.
	But even bigger than Trump's strategic revolution is the economic revolution, because that's what this is really all about.
	Go back to the end of World War II and the summit in Casablanca, where Franklin Roosevelt said to Winston Churchill, Winston, we didn't fight that war to reestablish British 18th century methods.
	And Churchill countered and said, what do you mean by that?
	And FDR said, a system that takes more out of a country than it puts back in.
	Well, Roosevelt died before the war ended, and the result was the ultimate triumph of British 18th century methods, or a system which takes more out than it puts in.
	Look at what has happened to the United States.
	We used to have a middle and working class based on a robust manufacturing sector and a tradition of family farms.
	And here's what's happened since the end of World War II.
	In 1950, 31% of the U.S. population was engaged in manufacturing.
	Today, it's only 8%.
	And if you add other goods-producing sectors like agriculture and mining and transportation, we used to have 55% engaged in productive activity.
	Today, it is less than 20.
	Our good-paying jobs, our industry, our infrastructure, our family farms, they disappeared along with the middle class.
	Okay, Captain Obvious.
	Got it.
	I forget.
	I didn't realize the one thing I learned in this all these clips is this meeting in Casablanca where Roosevelt called out Churchill and then died.
	So it didn't do anything.
	But okay, so this wraps it up a little bit.
	Our economic sovereignty was stripped by British 18th century methods of financialization and free trade.
	In exchange, we imported everything, food, cheap crap, and our trade deficit exploded.
	In other words, more was taken out than was put back in.
	Donald Trump is reversing that.
	That's why tariffs are such a powerful weapon and are so hated by the global elites.
	And they're working.
	We're rebuilding our manufacturing base and our economic independence.
	In November alone, ground was broken on 136 new factories, 78 processing plants.
	This is where you're supposed to say, what about the Ohio plant?
	What about the Ohio Foxconn?
	That's the one.
	No, the Foxconn plant was in Minnesota.
	I don't remember where it was.
	Do you think that this is true?
	Over 100 factories?
	I don't know.
	I like to see some evidence of it.
	Broken on 136 new factories, 78 processing plants and 199 new warehouses.
	But even more important than physical growth is the reawakening of a productive spirit within the population, and especially among young people.
	Look at this headline.
	Look at the response of young people in blue, Massachusetts to the opportunity of getting vocational training and having a productive job rather than a dead end liberal arts degree.
	Yes yes, and even more important than that is the promise of the future, of going beyond where we were at the end of World War Ii, before we surrendered to British 18th century methods.
	You know this.
	So a couple things.
	And uh, I don't think we ever should play a full Promethean Action Report again, because you don't have to.
	That was pretty sure that you heard a summary one that was quite good yeah, it was pretty good.
	Um, just for the, because you know we're trying to figure out some things.
	Like, you know, who does Nick Fuentes work for?
	If he works for anybody um, he is, without a doubt, the voice of a generation uh, of the, the Zoomer Waffen.
	But I was just thinking, you know, because there's all, because I, someone sent me uh, a link and said you need to watch the whole Nick Fuentes.
	You need.
	You know, you can't be our uncle if you don't know what's going on.
	So I watched the whole.
	It was actually five hours, of which two hours was this is you have to be careful which one you pick.
	Well, it doesn't matter.
	It was five hours of pre-roll and pre-show.
	Oh no no, it was always.
	It was good.
	Well the, if you get away from the pre-roll, I loved watching the pre-roll stuff.
	That was two hours of pre-roll.
	I I was sick so, but just sat on the couch and watched the.
	You were sick, that's gonna not gonna make you healthy.
	And then I watched his full show and you know he's hitting all the hot buttons, like, there's no jobs, we can't find anyone to have sex with.
	You know, everything's falling apart, everything's fake and gay.
	You know i'm just.
	When I say fake and gay, that's g e g h ey uh, just all of this stuff.
	And he, he in good uh, talk show format and he has so much of the.
	I really feel some Limba in there.
	He's got a.
	He's, you're right, he's very, very good.
	He could also, he could be a preacher almost, and but there's never any solutions, it's all just everything's no good.
	And then it's, you know, and he kind of slips in.
	It's, you know, it's the black people, it's the Jews, it's the women, that's that's kind of how it, how it flows, but it was interesting.
	I I thought, you know, let me just make a list between boomers and zoomers for a moment.
	Now i'm a boomer adjacent, but in this case i'll just be Boomer slash gen x.
	So you know well, we've got climate change and this is also horrible.
	When I was a kid, we had the ozone layer and acid rain.
	We're gonna burn up drug.
	Acid rain was my favorite.
	The drug crisis ozone, that's a good one.
	Yeah yeah, The drug crisis.
	Oh, you die from a pill on Snapchat.
	Bro, we had crack.
	Crack for the first time.
	You have no idea what the streets look like with crack.
	It was bad.
	Algorithms and all this horrible internet, the media panic.
	We had satanic panic.
	We were all going to die.
	The back masking, the Satanists were everywhere.
	The Luciferian society.
	We had Tipper Gore telling us we couldn't listen to music.
	Yeah, Tipper Gore.
	Yeah, you know, so the Zoomers.
	They had ratings on the music albums.
	Yeah, yeah.
	The Zoomers, you know, we, we don't, there's no company we could be loyal to.
	We have to have side hustles.
	Dude, we had greed is good and yuppies.
	And you had to work 80 hours and do Coke just to keep up with it.
	I love the yuppies.
	The yuppies, yes.
	Oh, there's war everywhere.
	In 1980, we all had to actually register for the draft because we had conflicts in Lebanon, Grenada, Central America, you know, proxy wars.
	So does it sound familiar?
	Campus protests.
	Oh, yes, it's pro-powered.
	That's new.
	No, that's not.
	Novelty.
	Campus protests are brand new.
	We've never had them before.
	We had South Africa.
	We had divest from South Africa.
	I'm not going to play Sun City.
	We had entire bands putting together benefit records.
	Chat GPT is going to take your job.
	The actual job started to go away in America with robots, with robotics for car companies.
	We went through all this.
	Oh, well, we're not going to have Social Security.
	Social Security, we got taken off pensions, and here's your 401k.
	Good luck.
	It's your problem now.
	And consumer debt, we literally were given credit cards.
	Have fun.
	It's going to be great.
	We got screwed with all that.
	And everyone's all like, you know, true crime.
	If kids are getting killed, you know, we got to analyze this on the podcast.
	We had the same thing, only we had milk cartons.
	And we looked at all the milk cartons with the kids on the milk cartons.
	It's always the same.
	It just has a different name.
	The only thing we didn't have was parents who would let us live rent-free at home until we were 30.
	That's what we didn't have.
	So spare me.
	And John, you're half a generation older than me.
	I think you can come up with examples exactly the same.
	I didn't even remember.
	I'm going to go back to HUAC and the riots.
	Huack?
	Back in the day.
	Huack?
	Yeah, HUWAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee riots.
	So in the 50s.
	And so.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	The thing is, of course, is that it just nothing's changed that much.
	No.
	It's a cycle and it's just going round and round around.
	Only this time, it's a little different.
	We have podcasters and they come up with all kinds of connections.
	Once October 7th happened, then we got the punk rock podcasters and he was already doing it.
	And in a way, Kanye, people just come out and say, hey, man, it's the Jews.
	And it's so interesting to deconstruct how that all fits together because Epsom is a big part of it.
	Because of course the Jews, Israel has Mossad and Epstein and its pedophilia.
	And therefore, immediately all of our Congress is being blackmailed, blackmailed, blackmailed.
	So they have to vote whatever AIPAC tells them to.
	And of course, there was no blackmailing going on during the Edgar Hoover era of the FBI.
	Nothing was going on.
	The FBI was just a blackmailing operation.
	And, you know, so you have this, you know, then there's the Christian Zionism angle.
	So, of course, you get Tucker hounding Ted Cruz, who's an idiot.
	So, well, my Bible tells me I need to bless Israel.
	And then Tucker, of course, convolutes that to, oh, you mean the government of Israel?
	So all of all, it's, and it's, and, you know, I think there's a movement afoot.
	You can kind of see it with all these podcasters, young podcasters moving towards Catholicism.
	And then there's all kinds of theories, but basically in replacement theology, the Jews don't matter anymore.
	So anyone who is still for quote unquote Israel, and that's a big question is what is that, obviously is in the bag for Israel.
	And that's where all of this kind of comes from.
	And then you can just easily say, well, you know, you're a shill for Israel.
	You're taking shekels.
	But the thing that really got me, and I picked up this clip from Candace Owens, and she was on the Theo Vaughan show.
	And this is a perfect man Gelman type experiment, man-gelman amnesia.
	You know, so when someone says something and you know it's demonstrably wrong, how can you believe anything they say?
	And I understand.
	And the only one who's pretty good at it is Nick Fuentes.
	But everybody else, they just throw stuff out there.
	And when you're putting together a theory and you pull in historical events and, oh, well, this happened, that happened, and therefore the Jews.
	But she went really awry.
	I don't even know how old this interview is.
	It doesn't seem like it's too old.
	But here she's talking about APAC.
	And I know I sound like a broken record on this one because I remain that it's being funded by the military industrial complex through the American Israeli Education Foundation.
	That's where you see Raytheon and Boeing and all that big money going in.
	But she pulled out a couple of really interesting lies or untruths or just mistakes that she absolutely presents as fact and has it fact-checked in real time with Wikipedia.
	Israel is actually the exception.
	They are the only country that's allowed to lobby Americans.
	Like everyone else has to register as a foreign agent under FARA.
	Like with APAC or whatever?
	Yeah, so APAC, the backstory, by the way, before JFK got shot, he was fighting APAC.
	They were previously called, I'm blanking on this.
	You can look it up.
	And he was literally saying you have to register under the Foreign Act.
	I'm 1,000% sure.
	And you should look it up.
	1,000%.
	So she says Foreign Act, but what she's talking about is the Foreign Agent Registration Act, which Manafort, Trump's guy, went to jail for because he wasn't registered as a foreign lobby.
	So if you are being paid by a foreign government, you have to, it's not a big deal.
	You just register and then you can give money to campaigns, et cetera.
	But then it has to be clear.
	It's coming from Israel.
	So she's 1,000% sure that this is the only group of its kind that doesn't have to register for some mysterious reason.
	Fact-check that live.
	Let's fact-check that.
	Was fighting with what is today known as APAC as was renamed AZCPA.
	I don't know what that stood for.
	In 1959, AZCPA was renamed the A, was renamed APAC, American Israel Public Affairs Committee, reflecting a broader membership and mission.
	Yeah, so JFK told them that they had to register under FARA.
	And so American Zionist Council, that's exactly what it was called.
	In 1962, President, look at the last paragraph.
	In 1962, President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, as a U.S. Attorney General, forced the AZC to register as a foreign agent.
	In doing so, they were barred from making monetary contributions to U.S. officials.
	Who was barred?
	AZC.
	Yeah, so APAC, for lack of a better term.
	They were called AZC back then, but continued to send out newsletters and hold events with a nonprofit tax exemption.
	And then what happened was he was shot.
	Okay.
	So let's just understand what Candace is saying.
	She's saying, because John F. Kennedy wanted the American Zionist Council to register under Farah, they killed him.
	So they are the only, the reason why I'm bringing this up is not to further conspiracy theories.
	They're the only countries that's allowed to lobby Americans that do not are not registered under the FARA Act.
	But for whatever reason, Israel is an exception to this.
	And the reason is because JFK got shot.
	Otherwise, they would have been under this.
	So that is the reason that they're allowed to do this.
	John, does that sound true to you?
	Well, I'm not sure why you're playing this.
	Didn't you do this exact same presentation on your podcast with Jimmy?
	I'm playing a piece of it.
	I'm not doing the full thing.
	I just want to do the Candace Owens bit because this isn't.
	I mean, don't you ever talk about stuff you talked about on the Horowitz?
	No.
	Yes, you do.
	I ask you all the time.
	No, only because you ask me.
	I refuse to bring it into the show voluntarily.
	But this is.
	But I just, I'm not condemning you for that, but I don't understand.
	I mean, we know Candace is nuts.
	And I'm not sure what the point of this is.
	I mean, I understand what you're saying, and it is idiotic, but I didn't get it much.
	I didn't get much out of it when you did it with Jimmy.
	I'm not sure what your point is.
	My point.
	Candace is nuts and she's crazy.
	i think we've gotten that part i'm i'm if you it's a um this is an interesting question If you don't see the continuous, it's the Jews thing, continuous, that all of this is the Jews.
	You didn't hear what Kokinda just said?
	She just said in MAGA, it's Israel.
	It's the Jews.
	Yeah, but I think that she made that point.
	And we've made the point before.
	Okay, so I'm not sure why we're making it again.
	Fine.
	I'm fine.
	You continue whatever you want to do.
	People can go listen to my podcast with Jimmy.
	Go ahead.
	It was just more complete.
	I was only making one point about AIPAC.
	That's all I wanted to do.
	It's fine.
	Yeah, but you made that point before you said so at the beginning.
	You said right at the beginning.
	I've got this point.
	I'm beating it to death.
	I've never made this point, which is that they are not the only country that has this kind of lobbying organization.
	That was the only point I wanted to make.
	And I was almost there.
	But it's okay.
	Well, you don't have to get puffy about it.
	It's just that I've heard this already.
	You've not heard this on this show.
	You have not heard this on this show.
	Well, I didn't know you're going to start recycling stuff that you do on Pastor Jimmy's show.
	Okay, fine, John.
	Whatever.
	I'm fine.
	People can go listen to that.
	I was just trying to bring in something that I thought was relevant.
	But I'm sorry you're so bored after I listened to you cut up a whole 16-minute piece into six clips that anyone could just go watch.
	Well, then what's the difference in that and what you're doing here?
	Nothing.
	But I didn't say anything about you.
	Yeah, you did.
	I just let it roll.
	No, at the very end, you made the point.
	You said specifically, just to be honest about it, you said we're not playing any more clips from these people as though the clip that we play were bad.
	It's obvious that you are working for Israel and you don't want me to expose what's going on.
	I'm not working for Israel.
	There's no way that I'm not.
	I'm working for the Nexus.
	I'm working for my handler.
	You're my handler.
	Everyone knows it now.
	By the way, somebody needs to be doing it.
	I'm surprised you didn't bring in the clip where they talked about my Uncle Don.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Oh, you missed that one.
	Who is this?
	Kokinda.
	I didn't hear that.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, wasn't in that one episode.
	Oh, I don't listen to her.
	No, okay.
	Anyway, move on.
	What did they say?
	What did they say about your Uncle Don?
	Move on to a different topic.
	No, wait a minute.
	Now I need to know.
	No, I didn't bring the clip because I didn't want to bore you about my uncle.
	You can just tell me what it was.
	It's too complicated.
	You have to listen to it.
	You can summarize?
	It goes back to Epstein and Epstein.
	So the original money laundering for guns was run out of then Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush's office, which was overseen by Uncle Don.
	That's what we know as Iran-Contra.
	Now, he was accused of doing things, but they never were able to prove it.
	And there were Senate hearings, et cetera.
	But what happened is there was a continuation of that exact same network, which was then picked up by Epstein's group.
	And in both cases, there was all kinds of sexual blackmail going on.
	Hmm.
	What do you think?
	Well, if you look at the Washington, I think it's the Washington Post or the Washington Times.
	There's a front page article about the call boys being given tours in the middle of the night of the White House.
	And it says right there, Uncle Don.
	It doesn't say Uncle Don.
	It says Don Gregg was the one that organized it.
	And I think the continuation of that was Barney Frank with his callboy service being run out of his house.
	But unfortunately.
	And there's a link to Epstein?
	Yes.
	Well, not Barney Frank, per se, but that there has been this continuous blackmailing operation, but it's CIA itself.
	It's not Mossad.
	It's CIA.
	They do it.
	They spied on the Senate and they got away with it.
	Yes, they did.
	In fact, Feinstein called them out on it and nothing came of it.
	Well, that's okay.
	Now, see, that's interesting.
	I don't care what you think is interesting.
	You're rude.
	I am not rude.
	You say, well, are you recycling stuff?
	Well, yeah, you're recycling stuff.
	I'm not.
	It's like I used to.
	It's like you used to honk a horn when I accidentally played a clip twice.
	That's different.
	And you don't think that's rude?
	No, that's justified.
	Okay, I get it.
	All right, what do you want to do?
	I don't know.
	You completely.
	Okay, let's talk about my scales.
	We had a discussion the last show about Alberta.
	Alberta is doing the vote.
	It's something we need to talk about.
	According to this guy, he's one of the politicians up there.
	I have Alberta one.
	We should listen to this and then we can go on.
	One of the most significant factors that makes the prospect of Alberta actually becoming independent after the referendum on independence that Alberta will be holding in October of 2026 is our proximity and relationship to the United States of America, the largest economy in the world.
	There's a number of ways in which a country comes into existence.
	Countries have come into existence, ebbed and flowed throughout the history of man.
	This is not a novel concept.
	Countries don't necessarily and their boundaries remain static.
	In all of our lifetimes, we've witnessed countries form and countries disappear.
	So one of the ways in which Alberta can become an independent country, according to the Supreme Court of Canada in the 1998 reference case, because remember, the Supreme Court of Canada laid out a constitutional pathway for a province like Alberta to hold a province-wide referendum on a clear question.
	And if a clear majority say, yes, we want to become an independent country, a new nation state, then that sets a legal process in motion.
	One way to finalize that process and complete the process of becoming to nationhood is to have negotiations between Alberta, the other provinces, First Nations, and the federal government on the details of the divorce, so to speak.
	There's no certainty that those negotiations will be successful.
	The Supreme Court of Canada recognized this.
	In paragraph 155 of their decision and 154, they talk about the concept of unilateral recognition by other nation states.
	And Canada has set a very important precedent supportive of Alberta going that route of being recognized by other countries as an independent country through Mark Carney's unilateral announcement last September in September of 2025, where he had the government of Canada unilaterally recognize the state of Palestine despite not having borders.
	Well, that's an interesting parallel.
	The state of Palestine and the free state of Alberta.
	This is not getting any coverage at all.
	i i didn't think much about it some one of our producers because we mentioned it and i think no this is this is how it went The producer went, why aren't they talking about this?
	And then I realized there's no coverage of it.
	Yes, that's exactly right.
	We mentioned it in a mocking tone in the last show and as though, yeah, whatever.
	Just Canadians complaining.
	This is common.
	This is what Canadians do.
	They complain, they bitch, they moan.
	But when I listened to this guy's presentation, I didn't realize it was on the ballot in this way.
	And it has precedent and it could happen.
	If this happens, the next thing to go is going to be is going to be the Montreal Quebecers.
	They're going to go because they've been wanting to go for years.
	Well, is this not a direct attack on the North Sea Nexus as well?
	And could we not be helping them with this?
	Well, clip two maybe gives us a little insight into that.
	So one of the things that could well happen after the referendum is the United States will recognize Alberta as an independent country.
	There have been ongoing meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project representatives and the State Department in the U.S.
	And as recently as a few weeks ago, where they continue to dialogue on the situation in Alberta.
	And it's clear that the U.S. government is prepared to recognize Alberta independence and if it occurs in a Democratic referendum vote.
	And so this is really significant because it's Alberta's largest trading partner.
	They're our closest geographic trading partner.
	Kearney government cleared the way for this and legitimized it through the Carney government's actions of recognizing Palestine.
	What I expect is going to happen is I think we're going to win this vote in October, and I think we're going to win it handily.
	We will be freed from the constraints.
	You know, what was so remarkable is we have the third largest reserve of oil in the world.
	We have all these other resources and we have a federal government that has deliberately passed laws and policies to keep our oil and gas in the ground, holding back prosperity, depriving our children and grandchildren of a prosperous and happy future, increasing the cost of living.
	It's just spectacular.
	On December 5th, the U.S. government released its national security strategy.
	And if you go through and read that 39-page document, you will see how uncomfortable the U.S. administration is about these really weird steps that troubling actions of the Carney liberals in seeking to align themselves and Canada with China rather than embrace and try and develop and enhance our relationship with the largest economy,
	our largest customer, and the most powerful military country in the world.
	How our prime minister has come out and said on a number of occasions that our relationship with the United States has come to an end?
	That's just spectacularly reckless.
	So there's, of course, a lot of skepticism about this actually happening, but it's not like this hasn't happened in the past.
	Things like this happen.
	People are so set in their belief of how the world fits together that they can't even imagine that this type of change would take place.
	I think it's absolutely possible.
	I think it's absolutely possible too, but I can also see the other side of it where you say, nah, this is not going to happen.
	I was mocking it because it's silly.
	I mean, you know, things are the way they are and, you know, they can't, the Quebecers can't even get out of the country, let alone these guys.
	But these guys have money.
	Quebec would go broke, they think, if they had split off.
	But if these guys split off, Quebecers will split off and then the next to go would be BC.
	There's no reason for British Columbia to be part of Canada.
	We could have states 51, 52, and 53, maybe even 54.
	I think 51 and 52 for sure.
	I don't know about the Quebecers ever.
	What has to happen on our end?
	What has to happen in the U.S.?
	What is the process for that?
	If Alberta says, yeah, you know, we want to join you guys.
	What is the process?
	Do we have to go through some kind of vote?
	We have no idea.
	I think do we have to have a test to make sure they can say our constitutional lawyer is the only guy that can answer that question?
	They have to be able to say about.
	If you say aboot, then you're a boot, then it's not going to happen.
	You got to change?
	You're oot.
	You're out.
	You're oot if you say aboot.
	Well, we don't want.
	See, I have mixed feelings about 51 and 52 because, Again, Canadians, you know, the difference between Canada and the United States when it came to separating from the British Empire, we came to blows.
	We brought guns to the party.
	The Canadians, to get away from the Brits, even though they're still part of the Commonwealth, they just complained a lot until they got sick of it.
	People got sick of listening to them bitch and moan.
	The Canadians complain, complain, complain, and they do such a good job of it.
	It's hard for Americans to put up with it.
	But I don't know, the Canadians who become Americans seem to, you know, adapt to less complaining.
	Maybe they complain for a good reason.
	It's something that could go away.
	I'm not sure.
	But I have mixed feelings about 51 and 52.
	Can't we just do one of those horizontal fracking jobs?
	You know, under the border.
	I think it's going to be too far.
	But we would definitely, the pipelines would be going up.
	The Albertans, if they just stayed as an independent country, would be one of the richest in the world.
	They'd be at least as rich as Kuwait.
	That'd be like Saudi Arabia.
	The new Qatar.
	It'd be like Qatar.
	It would be loaded.
	Yeah.
	It would also drain the coffee.
	It would break Canada.
	They could all wear dresses and headgear and call themselves sheikhs.
	They could.
	Hello, I'm the Sheikh of Alberta.
	Now, I was talking to the oil baron.
	He says if Trump doesn't do something soon with oil, the prices are going to skyrocket.
	What's he supposed to do?
	Well, and what does he mean in shortly?
	Is that 18 months?
	18 months.
	The reason why.
	So that would go right past this election.
	So if Alberta went independent and they just latched on to us, we'd suck all that oil.
	Yeah, that would take care of the problem.
	So the problem he has, he says for the first time in history, the shale drilling has gone negative.
	He says it's just not producing what it used to produce.
	There's wells on top of wells on top of wells, and we're not getting it anymore.
	Doesn't that have to do with the price?
	Doesn't shale oil have to, it's not profitable unless the oil price is 70 or so.
	And right now it's in the high 50s.
	He says they're not.
	Well, he says under 50, not profitable.
	Yeah, it's always been that way, though.
	Yes, but they're actually not.
	You know, the president keeps saying, ah, we got all this oil.
	We don't.
	That's the problem.
	The oil isn't there anymore.
	This is what he's, he's been, I've mentioned this on the show several times.
	He keeps saying it.
	It's diminishing.
	And if Trump doesn't, if Trump keeps stopping the Venezuela oil, then the price will skyrocket.
	He, I should see where he said this.
	Well, is he stopping the oil?
	He's grabbing the oil, isn't he?
	Is he stealing the oil?
	But oil is a, it's a, it's a, it's a global thing.
	He's, he's, once you grab the ship, then you got one shipload of oil, but then that oil, there's no more oil on that ship.
	Let me see.
	I'm going to bring it up for you.
	He told me this.
	Boy.
	Here we go.
	U.S. blockade on Venezuela, forcing South American country to start shutting wells.
	So Venezuela is now just shutting.
	The Orinoco belt is reducing production by 25%, 500 million barrels per day.
	Here's what he said.
	He said, he gave this.
	Depletion in the Permian is happening now.
	Chevron has been reporting for some time in the Delaware Basin's acreage, production numbers coming below internal forecasts.
	As long as Saudi Arabia floods the markets, and if Venezuela or Russia comes back online to world markets, it will sink more oil companies.
	So he's talking on his own behalf to a degree, but he's saying they could go back to 1986.
	Was there a big spike in oil in 1986?
	I don't know.
	I had to look at the charts.
	Yeah.
	Well, he's an actual landman drilling, and he says that what Trump is doing is fun.
	He said, but they've got to figure it out because that oil needs to flow.
	And if you just keep grabbing the ships, then there's less oil flowing.
	And it's a global thing.
	It's not just what we're taking.
	The ships aren't moving, and the production is being shut down.
	And so his proposal is he says we should just stop harassing Venezuela?
	No, no.
	He says, he said, figure it out.
	I said, well, how about Russia?
	Maybe if we get the Russia thing fixed, I mean, it's different oil, I presume, the Russian oil and the Venezuelan oil.
	Does that make a difference?
	The two types?
	I think the Russian oil is better quality.
	Yeah.
	But his point is something has to happen.
	Otherwise, we're really completely under control of this.
	Well, maybe that's what he was trying to do in ending this stupid war with Ukraine.
	That would be a good one.
	I actually have a clip about the Venezuela situation.
	My first question to you is given you're a member of the House Intelligence Committee, part of whose responsibility is overseeing the CIA.
	Have you been given any more insight into this attack?
	None whatsoever.
	We haven't been given any insight to anything they're doing in the Pacific or the Caribbean on the shooting and bombing these boats and then whatever happened with the rescue.
	We've had no reports from the CIA on these activities.
	They say they've had nothing to do with it.
	It has not been their mission.
	I've been down just about two weeks ago to Key West and to Miami, the South Command, Southern Command, and they said that it was not their issues either, that the Southern spear was a wholly, totally different group.
	I want to ask if you suspect, given that you support action that would stop the Trump administration from launching strikes against Venezuela without congressional approval, do you fear that this was deliberately a CIA operation to avoid any legal obligation to inform Congress or seek approval from Congress?
	I suspect it was.
	It was kind of strange.
	You know, normally we don't refer to and make public notice of CIA activities.
	Those are all covert.
	And this was the first openly, open announcement of the CIA doing something in another country where the president announced it rather than being discovered by news media or a foreign government.
	Who is that, guys?
	Cohen.
	Is he a Republican?
	I don't know.
	He has a second part to this.
	Now, to that point, it's interesting because earlier this month, President Trump was asked if he would seek authorization from Congress for any land attacks in Venezuela.
	And here's how he answered.
	I want to get your reaction.
	I wouldn't mind telling him, but it's not a big deal.
	I don't have to tell him.
	It's been proven.
	But I wouldn't mind at all.
	I just hope they wouldn't leak it.
	You know, people leak it.
	They are politicians and they leak like a civ.
	So as it turns out, the civ in this case was the president himself.
	By leaking this, did he put any U.S. operations, the CIA, operatives, et cetera, or sources and methods in danger, at risk?
	Well, he could have, but he certainly puts the United States reputation at risk.
	We're going to be looked at like we were 100 years ago or whatever, as the Yankee imperialism.
	And where the Latin American countries despise the United States.
	And I know that, you know, obviously Colombia and Ecuador and unless and even I don't know if the Nicaraguan people care at all about Honduran people where we just pardon their president who they want to have arrested and try for other offenses.
	He's a crook.
	I was down in Honduras maybe five, six years ago, and we met with him and he just seemed he was why did he meet with him to discuss the drug money?
	Too slick.
	And I thought the guy's program was not from the soul and it wasn't accurate and it was just a scam.
	And that's what it was.
	Well, Congressman Cohen, we appreciate you joining us tonight.
	Well, I don't think anyone really understands this problem.
	Alberta would be a great solution.
	That would be a good way to do it because I trust the oil baron.
	He says, if something doesn't give.
	Well, you know, I'm not going to argue with him, but yeah, Alberta would be the easiest way to take care of the problem.
	Yeah.
	And they get a lot of money.
	We get the oil and boom.
	We're on our way.
	I would recommend a troll room.
	Y'all should get together and do your own podcast and call it the No Agenda Roundtable.
	That would be a really good idea.
	They know everything so well over there, John.
	They know it.
	Oh, we know it.
	What are they bitching about?
	They bitch about everything.
	That's all they do.
	That's all they do.
	Alberta would take care of the problem and probably for 100 years.
	They said the third largest reserve.
	A lot of it is in shale.
	That's a problem.
	Well, but the president is right.
	A lot of that was ours.
	We had the deals.
	He nationalized it, basically stole it.
	That's the deal we need to get back on the table.
	But that's been going on for 10 years.
	And Kearney, we have to always remember that guy, if anybody's a member of the British monarchy, it's him.
	Nexus.
	It's him.
	He was a head of the Bank of England.
	He's not even Canadian and he's running Canada.
	Are you kidding me?
	Yeah.
	Well, that's the problem.
	Which I think will help trigger, I think they're going to, okay, I think they're going to pass.
	Trigger an election?
	I think the election is going to, unless something changes between now and October, Alberta is going to pass the vote and become an independent country.
	Now, how is that right in the middle of Canada, by the way?
	All the traffic, all the train traffic goes right through Alberta to get the BC.
	What are you going to do about that?
	Passport, passport, passport control.
	They should do armbands.
	That'd be cool.
	Yeah.
	They need a flag.
	They need their own army.
	Yeah.
	You have people from Vancouver that can have an armband that says V on it.
	It'd be cool looking.
	So the other really big story which unfolded thanks to what is now deemed a mega influencer was, or is the child care in Minnesota, which has now gone all the way up to the top.
	You'd almost think, you'd almost think since the media couldn't cover it, that this was a setup with this kid.
	This, what's his name?
	Nick?
	No, it wasn't.
	Nick Shirley.
	Nick Shirley.
	Well, it's possible it was a setup.
	Can I play a clip before you play these?
	Yeah, yeah, of course.
	Because you say the media didn't cover it.
	Yes, in fact, the media did cover it.
	It was a news story.
	It was a big news story.
	No, 20.
	I didn't say they didn't cover it.
	Oh, in 20 when?
	2013?
	Well, actually, they started off in 2013, and then there was a news report, which is the one I'm playing from 2015.
	This is on Fox up there in Minneapolis.
	played this story it's exactly the same story that we're now hearing you know since it started in 2013 12 years later nothing has changed but listen to this report how significant is this problem massive steve halicki spent 15 years as a welfare fraud investigator for hennepin county he came to us to grind an axe They don't want the fraud unit to do anything.
	They want a fraud unit on paper.
	Halicki was fired in 2013 while in the midst of a big investigation.
	The county claims he was an insubordinate bully whose tactics were hampering efforts to catch welfare cheats.
	They don't want to point fingers at various organizations and people.
	This is nothing but a giant cover-up.
	You're driving down the street, you have no idea.
	Halicki contacted the Fox 9 investigators after seeing our series of reports on Deco daycare centers.
	We uncovered evidence the company was collecting millions in public subsidies for providing bogus child care services to low-income families.
	In essence, this scheme was really involved creating a criminal enterprise.
	In December, Ramsey County charged Deco's owner with fraud.
	The daycares that I'm going to be showing you from this point on all bill over $100,000 a month.
	Halicki says before he was fired, he was tracking a similar scheme in Hennepin County involving multiple child care centers.
	He offered to take us on a driving tour to show what he'd uncovered.
	What does this one say on the door?
	7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
	There are no lights up.
	This building is housing its third daycare center in as many years.
	They just put it and got a new license.
	The two previous daycares had their public subsidies stopped by the county because of billing irregularities.
	Hour after hour, I would sit here and document nothing.
	Halicki discovered one center was charging the county for kids who were never dropped off.
	Oh, I see the problem.
	This report is not sensational.
	It's not, this is, this is, this is why it never got anywhere.
	People just hear, what, what, fraud, I don't know.
	I don't know if it's any less sensational than Nick, who roams around very much.
	I mean, no, do they have, are they knocking on doors in this report?
	Like, where's the kids?
	They get pretty close to it.
	Nah, it's not this.
	It's not the same.
	Where's the kids is better walking around having.
	Well, I'm not going to say where's the kids not better.
	It's great.
	But it's like, this is a decade ago.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	It's awesome.
	It's like, this is like, it's like, it's like part of the system.
	This fraud.
	This has got, you know, this was that there's a black guy who's an analyst.
	I can't think of his name.
	Mimi knows him.
	She follows him.
	Who tracks it all back to Obama, who brought the Somalians in in the first place.
	And the Somalians, the way he sees it, they're just patsies for the real crooks, which are the white politicians in Minnesota, including walls.
	Yeah.
	And everybody in between and these stupid Somalians who were, you know, the bulbhead people, they don't know what the hell's going on, but they go along with the program because they're told to.
	Well, we must remember that they were admitted into the country under temporary protective status, temporary protective status.
	So yeah, they were abused.
	And it's the same with the Haitians.
	And the Haitians were bussed immediately up to work in the factories where they were eating the dogs.
	I have emails.
	I have documents.
	I have everything to prove they knew it.
	And they looked the other way.
	Here's an email he sent to the supervisor of the fraud unit.
	The goal was to stop.
	Did you call him bulbheads?
	What did you call them?
	Boy, that took a while.
	10 beats, maybe 20.
	Was it bulbheads?
	I want to make sure I, because that's a great show title.
	I just want to make sure I got it.
	Bulbheads.
	The goal was to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible and protect taxpayer money from going out the door.
	Now you want to stop the process?
	I know you're motivated and rightly concerned, she responds.
	Let's get a plan together to tackle these centers.
	I don't think we would ever intentionally try to deceive the public.
	County officials say they take all cases of alleged daycare fraud seriously.
	He says they don't want to point fingers at various organizations and people.
	This is nothing but a giant cover-up.
	Yeah.
	I hear the report.
	I hear it.
	But it's not, I mean, you need Kony 2012 type stuff, man.
	Which, by the way, was one year before this report, and that one got steam.
	And where was it?
	YouTube.
	This just shows you the irrelevance of the mainstream media.
	Even though they set the tone, everybody responds to it, posts a clip of it.
	But when you get this new form of media, it just has this ability to take off and it's great.
	It's so different.
	Well, I don't see the difference being that substantial, but I'm not going to disagree with the fact that these that this got obviously got no traction because these clip the clip I'm playing, which we don't have to play, the last one, it's just pretty much reiteration, but the uh the clip.
	This clip is from a decade ago.
	Nothing's changed and the only thing that's changed is Nick Shirley goes around.
	You know, the kid goes around in his very low-key style, knocking on doors, like you said, with his buddies is, you know, these days, the Zoomer, Boomer combo, which is the perfect combo perfect unstoppable unstoppable yes yes, of course, all these rumors out there this, you know, we got you here.
	You got two boomers here.
	They should be watching on.
	Take us on the road, we'll knock on.
	We'll knock on doors to knock on.
	All right, here's uh.
	I got a couple of clips here.
	Our president decided he doesn't like the Somali community and he wants to destroy them.
	Child care workers and advocates in Minnesota firing back against the Trump administration after the Department OF Health AND Human Services said it would freeze federal funding for child care in response to allegations that daycare operators there have been misappropriating those funds for a decade.
	That announcement, what do you guys think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota following this viral video shot by mega influencer Nick Shirley?
	Influencer, oh yeah, I told you this is the term, mega influencer.
	They're putting a mega influencer now, but that's, they're pushing back.
	The system is pushing back on this.
	That's the point.
	Where did you get this report?
	This is uh CBS CBSH OH, CBS.
	The NEW CBS is going to be honest with us.
	Yep, in it he alleges that about a dozen daycares receiving funding are not actually providing services.
	But, according to a separate analysis by CBS, only two of those child care facilities mentioned were shown to be without an active license.
	And then they show some video like CCTV, like a ring door cam video, and they put a date on it.
	Well, this was just yesterday.
	It also the NEW CBS that's giving us the straight scoop now.
	Well, to be honest, it's not the, it's not our boy, this is a.
	You know, this is.
	This is.
	It's not the Evening NEWS.
	It also revealed violations around safety and cleanliness, but not fraud, and this security footage shows children being dropped off by their parents at a b, c learning, one of the facilities Targeted by Shirley, the owner believes, for political reasons.
	What did I do?
	I'm just to the Kulumung deal who wants to live and do the right thing.
	I have kids to feed.
	On X.
	It's hard to hear, but the consistent message is, what am I to do?
	I have kids to feed.
	You mean your kids?
	They're answering.
	The bulbheads are answering in the wrong way.
	I'm just to the cool human being who wants to live and do the right thing.
	I have kids to feed.
	On X, Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz acknowledged issues of fraud within the childcare system, saying he spent years cracking down on fraudsters and accuses Trump of politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.
	And Trevid journalists have made shocking, incredible allegations of HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill now says he's requiring justification before federal payments are made and demanding that Governor Waltz conduct an audit of the daycares in question.
	He's also launched a fraud reporting hotline.
	Okay, so the final before you go any further, that comment about Trump taking advantage of the situation, I don't have the clip, but Matt Taibbi and Walter Kern were doing a podcast or something or they were doing a hit, probably a hit on CNBC or not CNBC, but MSNBC.
	And Taibbi says he had looked into this fraud stuff two years ago and more recently had taken it directly to the Trump Attorney General's office with this, you know, saying, look at this.
	This is a good one.
	You should do something about it.
	This according to Taibbi.
	And they said, eh, whatever.
	They didn't do anything.
	And so Taibbi's pushing back on the fact that they think Trump is exploiting it because when given the opportunity to actually exploit it, they rebuked it.
	Yeah, but this is the, what was it, Laura Logan said, the Office of the Inspector General's Counsel Starfleet Command that they determine what gets investigated.
	So it's the inspectors general that may be the issue.
	And I'm not sure who is in charge of this, but once it's out on YouTube and once it catches fire and it's on X and everything, then it catches the president's eye.
	I don't think it was ever brought to him.
	So yeah, of course, they're pushing back and saying it's political because they know that they're in trouble.
	And then this is the best.
	So they had a press conference with a whole bunch of people saying, Trump sucks, save our children.
	And then they bring out one of these Somali workers at the, I don't know if she was from the Learing Center, but one of these daycares.
	And it's too bad we don't have video in this case because her expression is priceless.
	If child care is cut, I'm unable to work or go to school.
	I understand.
	Fraud is bad.
	What?
	So she says, if childcare is cut, I'm unable to go to school.
	Now, I understand fraud is bad.
	And then she puts, she clasps her, that's, she claps her hand in front of her mouth like, oops, what did I just say?
	If child care is cut, I'm unable to work or go to school.
	I understand.
	Fraud is bad.
	But I need to go to school.
	Clap, clap for her, clap for her, quick.
	Very good.
	Oh, you're so brave.
	And then we have a non-Somali woman, some white woman, and she does exactly the same.
	And I do see some signs over here that say stop fraud.
	And I agree.
	Stop it.
	There are waitlists for these programs that are years long.
	There is fraud.
	There is.
	Oops!
	Oops!
	They're all admitting there's fraud.
	It's coming right out of their pie holes.
	And then the best is this manager who says he's Somali American.
	He probably was born here, although it seems unlikely because he looks like he's older than 10.
	And oh, I wish you could investigate us for fraud, but unfortunately.
	Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation, enrollment of the children, and also employee documentation that was gone.
	It's gone.
	It was broken into.
	It was stolen.
	All the evidence is gone.
	There were also checkbooks that were ripped from our checkpapers that were ripped from our book.
	The checkbooks are gone.
	We can't show any money going in.
	Oh, this is horrible.
	Oh, no.
	By the way, this, this, for people who don't know what Adam is playing, this is a clip of a guy who claims that his daycare was busted into and they stole the employment records and the records of the kids.
	This is worse than a 10-year-old and the dog age.
	It's so idiotic.
	Why would anyone?
	And of course, the investigators have gone in and they don't see anything missing.
	It's just like, it's the weakest thing.
	It's almost pathetic.
	It's almost pathetic to think that you can make this lie and people would believe it.
	Well, that's what children do.
	Now, of course.
	Can you play the rest of that clip?
	Oh, you want to hear the whole thing?
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Hold on.
	I'll start it over.
	Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation, enrollment of the children, and also employee documentation that was gone.
	There were also checkbooks that were ripped from our checkpapers that were ripped from our book.
	This is devastating news.
	And we don't know why this is targeting our Somali community as one video made by a specific individual made this all happen.
	We've been receiving hateful messages through our voice notes threatening us the past couple of days.
	Oh, no!
	Including one that happened yesterday morning when the break-in, after the break-in.
	This is frightening and exhausting because this is happening to us Somali communities as Somali Americans.
	We are supposed to stand with each other and help each other through everything that's happening.
	This is also sad that a video can cause all of this.
	I want to say that there are hundreds of daycares out there, Somali daycares that are out there, and we all help our children and everyone in our community.
	We have high quality daycares, and this is very sad news that one individual who made a false claim about fraud that is happening in the daycares engaged everyone else to come and do this to us.
	I mean, what I keep hearing as an undertone, and I don't blame them because you're right, I'm sure there's people managing this stuff, and hopefully that'll come to light.
	You hear them all saying, well, but this is what we do.
	This is our income.
	Like, stop.
	You can't take away our income by cutting off the money.
	We have daycares and no one shows up.
	And that's what we do.
	It's our job.
	It's almost as if they don't understand what's going on.
	And so now, of course, everybody's going to be, going to be, what's the case?
	I keep forgetting his name.
	Nick?
	Nick?
	Nick Shirley.
	Nick Shirley.
	Everyone's going to be a Nick Shirley.
	And they're all going.
	Now everyone's hooking up with boomers wherever they can.
	By the way, troll room, go out and do some work.
	We'll be your boomer to your Zoomer.
	We will blow it wide open.
	Anything you find.
	No, I'm just going to sit here and complain.
	You're from Canada.
	Yeah, I wish.
	So we move from Somalians to the Haitians.
	And this is Massachusetts.
	This is Nate Friedman, just another YouTuber asking questions.
	And he's got some interesting data with a guy he talked to who was a manager at a migrant hotel.
	And, you know, the media wants to make it sound like most of the residents.
	I'm sorry.
	Let me start with this one.
	My name is John Featherston.
	I'm a former migrant shelter director in Massachusetts.
	I helped out in a couple of different sites.
	Everything is free.
	I cannot stress the word everything is free.
	Everybody has a nice car.
	Most of them have nice cars.
	But when they have a doctor's appointment in Boston or they have a immigration hearing in New Hampshire, you know, which is an hour and a half away, you think they use their own car?
	Nope.
	They say, oh, I need an Uber.
	I need, you know, I need a Lyft.
	How much is given for rides for Uber and Lyft?
	The amount of money that we would spend on Ubers and Lyft was well in excess of $100,000 a month.
	A month.
	A month, yeah.
	No, as good as Lyft and Uber had it, Amazon had it 10 times better.
	And how's that?
	How did Amazon work into this?
	Every day I would order tens of thousands of dollars worth of product from Amazon every single day, seven days a week.
	One day I would do a huge diaper delivery, and the next day I would do a formula delivery.
	The next day I would buy, you know, toothbrushes and hair dryers and combs and strollers and anything that they needed, they got.
	As the hotel got overtaken by migrant families, there was not enough capacity and there were fights breaking out over washers and dryers.
	So the state contracted this company to come in five days a week and do everybody's laundry.
	You put your laundry out by seven o'clock, it's back by five o'clock and it all comes back folded in these nice bags and it's free or the taxpayers of Massachusetts pay for it.
	Now, just imagine, what a bonanza for everybody.
	For Uber.
	For Uber and by the way, I'm going to give you a borderline clip of the day because that hasn't floated around as much.
	But wait, there's a kicker.
	There's a kicker to these Haitians.
	And, you know, the media wants to make it sound like most of the residents are escaping the horrors of Haiti.
	But they go, well, you know, I was in Chile for 10 years after the earthquake in Haiti.
	You're like, what?
	So you didn't leave Haiti like this year?
	No, I left 10 years ago and I went to Chile.
	And then they made us work.
	So then we went to Brazil and we were content in Brazil.
	And then I'm like, well, why'd you come to America?
	Well, we came to America because Joe Biden told us everything was free.
	10 years hadn't been in Haiti.
	But I'm Haitian.
	I was living in Chile, hanging out there.
	And I decided to come to America.
	Land of endless possibilities.
	Because Joe Biden said everything is free.
	By the way, we have our...
	I believe that report to be true.
	I believe it too.
	We have a Discord, by the way, for all you Zoomers, you Gen Zs.
	I can't, you know, I go on at five seconds.
	I can't take it.
	Oh, you already registered?
	You're on?
	Yeah, somebody got me on it.
	Yeah, early.
	Well, this is Patrick Coble.
	Is that Coble?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Because I had to reset my password or something.
	I guess I signed up for a Discord somewhere and I'm still waiting for the password reset.
	But it's noagendadiscord.com.
	Yeah.
	So, well, we need this.
	This is where we're going to start the revolution.
	Yeah.
	next Fediverse.
	Are there already people in there?
	I didn't know there were already people in there.
	Yeah, I think it's pretty active, but it's like, you know, it's what it is.
	It's like, you know, it's beyond me why these things are attractive.
	Well, because that's what people like to do.
	Like Lady Vox, like the trolls do a lot of good work.
	No, they don't.
	Absolutely zero.
	No, that's a percentage point.
	Once in a while, they give you a push line about it.
	Once in a while, but you know, I have to be looking at all of the Trump does nothing, sucks.
	Israel, you shill Hasbra.
	Okay.
	What?
	How's that?
	Hasbro.
	It's somehow it's some Jewish slur.
	I haven't figured it out yet.
	There's a Jewish slur they're throwing at you.
	Let me see what is Hasbro.
	I think it's a toy company.
	No, the Hasbro.
	Hasbro.
	Oh, here.
	Hasbrah, the public diplomacy of Israel or Hasbro includes mass communication and individual interaction with foreign nationals through social media and traditional media.
	Well, there we go.
	That's it.
	They're saying calling you a shill.
	Yes, exactly.
	Well, you too.
	It's just you.
	No, I don't do anything.
	They're not calling me a shill.
	No, no, you are.
	I have not seen any evidence of them calling me a shill.
	We all know that you're the shill.
	You're the handler, man.
	You're the Hasbra handler.
	Ooh, alliteration.
	I love it.
	Hasbra handler.
	Let's see.
	What do we have going on here?
	Oh, I just want to get back to AI for a second.
	It's hilarious.
	You know how we know that AI will never be able to do a podcast because, well, maybe by itself, I guess, or that stupid notebook LLM.
	Let's dive in, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But you can't keep diving.
	But you can't have a conversation with a chat bot like you and I have on a podcast.
	Right.
	As is evidenced by this young woman who had, I think, a pretty good idea.
	Is this AI we're going to hear?
	Well, it's a woman and AI.
	A young girl, young woman.
	And she's doing, you know, it's very fashionable if you're going to audition for a movie.
	When you do this, you have to cut it up a lot because there's a big leg because you try talking to the robot and you've given up on it because it takes forever for the robot to respond.
	So whatever robot she's using, it was a good idea.
	She is doing an audition tape.
	And it's very normal these days that really started with COVID, but even before COVID, you want to audition for this part.
	They'll send you the sides, which is jargon for the script.
	And then you have somebody, you know, just put a camera on you and someone reads off camera and the other lines and you read your lines.
	And that's how auditions are done.
	It's very normal these days.
	So she had a good idea.
	She put the sides into her robot and said, okay, read with me.
	So the idea is the robot reads the line that precedes hers and then she reads her line.
	Then the robot reads the next line.
	I thought that was a I'm like, wow, for $1.3 trillion besides put a bikini on her, this is actually a pretty good idea.
	Well, here's how it worked out.
	So here we go.
	Three, two, one.
	What the hell do you want, Amanda?
	Get lost.
	And now just tempted with Amanda's part whenever you're ready.
	Yeah, so don't say that.
	Just read your line and then I'll come with mine when I'm ready, okay?
	Got it, Lyanne.
	All right, I'll just dive straight into Evelyn's line, and here we go.
	What the hell do you want, Amanda?
	Get lost.
	Take your time.
	I just don't say, take your time.
	Just say your line, and then I'll say mine.
	Okay, let's try this again.
	Absolutely.
	Let's keep it straightforward.
	Here's Evelyn Klein.
	What the hell do you want, Amanda?
	Get lost.
	Look, now it's your turn.
	Don't say now it's your turn.
	I know.
	Just say your line.
	Ready?
	Go.
	All right, Leanne.
	Let's jump right in.
	What the hell do you want, Amanda?
	Get lost.
	And there we go.
	Don't say there we go.
	Just say your line, okay?
	Start us.
	Try again.
	You got it, Leanne.
	Let's keep it focused.
	What the hell do you want, Amanda?
	Get lost.
	Look.
	Over to you.
	Don't say over to you.
	Don't say anything.
	Wow.
	That's so amazing.
	It's so dumb.
	1.3 trillion and counting.
	And the funny thing, the noteworthy thing there is that every time she tells the robot to do it a different way, the robot always has to always, and I think this is true with most of the AI that you interact with.
	It always has to acknowledge.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, okay.
	I can do it that way.
	Oh, oh, okay.
	It always says, it always acknowledges every single time it acknowledges instead of just doing it.
	So she wants it to just read the lines.
	So it's like, you're not reading the lines.
	You're reading the lines and say, so just read the lines.
	Oh, okay.
	I'll do that.
	No, no, just read the lines.
	Yeah.
	Got it.
	So AI is so good that law firms are now offering up to $200,000 signing bonuses for mid-level young lawyers who, you know, when you're working on a big case or a lot of it is, you know, financial stuff.
	Beginning of the end.
	What do you mean?
	You start doing, they're going to be so much bad law written in this phone because they hallucinate.
	I know what you're going to do.
	The story is.
	It can't be a positive thing to do.
	No, the story is that they want young lawyers as soon as possible.
	And because they all had this idea that, oh, AI is going to take care of all the clerical stuff.
	It's not working out.
	So it's a bonanza now if you're a lawyer, a young lawyer who's just ready to get into the firm, you know, earn your stripes up to $200,000 in bonuses.
	Oh, so what you're saying, the AI has been such a flop that they're hiring like madly now.
	Yes, yes.
	And Open AI is now hiring a, let me see, what is the term?
	It's a, I'm looking for this now in this.
	It's a certain position, head of preparedness to address mounting concerns about AI systems discovering critical vulnerabilities and impacting mental health.
	The position offers is $555,000 plus equity because, yeah, we've kind of noticed that it's impacting some people's mental health.
	And so we're hiring the position.
	He's posting on X.
	It's open.
	We think there might be an issue.
	Witness this story from NPR.
	Two-thirds of adolescents are using chatbots, according to a recent survey by Pew Research.
	Parents and online safety advocates are concerned about the way AI can impact teen development, mental health, and the risk of suicide.
	So how can kids and teens navigate the new tech more safely?
	And Pierre's Ritu Chatterjee collected some advice.
	Carrie Rodriguez has five teenage sons.
	Her sons are altered service at the family's church.
	And they use a Bible app that gives them a daily reading, like and it's supposed to be inspirational.
	But the app also has a chatbot.
	And Rodriguez got worried when her youngest started asking it moral questions.
	My little boy David, he's very concerned about like, is this a sin?
	Is this wrong?
	Is God going to be mad at me and all these things?
	The kinds of questions she'd hoped he'd bring to her, not a chatbot.
	Not everything in life is black and white.
	There are grays, and it's my job as his mom to help him navigate that and walk through it.
	Rodriguez is also the president of the National Parents Union, an advocacy group.
	She hears from parents across the country who are also concerned.
	Many of them are seeing chatbots claim to be their kids' best friend, inviting them to share everything.
	A new report from the online safety company Aura finds that one of the most common uses of chatbots by teens is for companionship and role play.
	Have you ever heard this voice on NPR before?
	Sounds like she should be doing Africa news.
	They're having a lot of weird voices on NPR of late.
	So I went looking for the Bible apps that have a chat bot.
	Dude, I can imagine text with Jesus.
	Oh, brothers.
	There's something that's being overlooked here.
	I think our lawyers in the audience would agree with me on this.
	You can't.
	What they're doing by asking for this new position of a half a million dollar job is admitting liability.
	Of course.
	This is like getting, you know, your lawyers will tell you the following.
	If you get into a car accident with someone, don't just out of the blue say you're sorry.
	Never, never, never, never.
	Because you just admit it's your fault.
	This is, I think this guy, whoever this has got to be, I mean, the first thing you should say was, wow, you really screwed that up.
	Or my neck, my neck, my neck.
	That's the first thing you say.
	And then you go to callthesuits.com and make millions.
	Yes.
	But the point is, is that this is a huge blunder.
	They've just opened up the doors for litigation.
	Altman specifically highlighted mental health.
	This is Altman.
	This Altman is an idiot.
	This guy is a rich idiot.
	There's no question about that.
	And people say, well, he's got more money than you do.
	Well, that's for sure.
	But it's beside the point.
	This guy, this is the biggest, this is like, why don't you just, you know, shoot yourself?
	Let me read the whole paragraph here.
	Altman specifically highlighted mental health as a concern after Open AI saw a preview of AI's potential psychological impact in 2025.
	So a preview of, I guess there's some report that has yet to drop.
	This acknowledgement comes amid several high-profile case, high-profile lawsuits alleging ChatGPT's involvement in teen suicides and reports of AI chatbots feeding users delusion and conspiracy theories.
	And here's Altman.
	The role requires someone who can help the world figure out how to enable cybersecurity defenders with cutting-edge capabilities while ensuring attackers can't use them for harm.
	He called it, which is so it's the same job.
	He's couching it as cybersecurity.
	I think somehow his lawyers told me, well, if you just say it's for cybersecurity.
	And he also said it's a stressful job.
	And whoever gets hired will jump into the deep end pretty much immediately.
	Here's the, I think these people may have already had a preview of the report as well.
	That includes some disturbing conversations involving violence and sex.
	It is role play that is interaction about harming somebody else, physically hurting them, torturing them.
	Psychologist Scott Collins is chief medical officer at Aura and a father of two teenagers.
	It's part of natural development to be curious about sexuality and things.
	Learning about sexual interactions from a chatbot instead of a trusted adult is problematic.
	And chatbots are designed to agree with users, says pediatrician Dr. Jason Nagata.
	So even if a child or teenager is putting in sexual content or violent content, I do think that the default of the AI is to engage with it and to reinforce it.
	Nagata researches digital media used by teens at the University of California, San Francisco.
	He says spending a lot of time with chatbots also prevents teenagers from learning important social skills like empathy, reading body language, and negotiating differences.
	When you're only or exclusively interacting with computers who are agreeing with you, then you don't get to develop those skills.
	And studies show that chatbots can pose risks to vulnerable individuals.
	At least a couple of adolescents have died by suicide after prolonged interactions with chatbots.
	I'm going to bet they're going to hide behind the EULA.
	They're going to say, well, look, there's a EULA.
	You get the app.
	It says, talk to your parents.
	You didn't talk to your parents.
	It's your parents' fault.
	In fact, I would say we'll see parents go to jail for their children committing suicide thanks to a chatbot.
	Isn't that the Silicon Valley model?
	Well, that is the model, but the EULAs don't apply in certain situations that are illegal.
	Well, what's illegal about it?
	Well, it's like if somebody's talked into committing suicide, I mean, it's like signing agreements with you.
	You meet somebody and it just is, it's, I can't express the legality aspect of it, but I'm sure one of our lawyers out there can say why a EULA won't protect them.
	Well, we'll have to wait for Rob.
	And I wish they said it would just go away anyway.
	It's like the EULA to me is the same as the liability constraints on vaccines.
	If the EULA went away, then we wouldn't be able to say put a bikini on her.
	You're going to ruin the whole gig, man.
	I don't think that would change the bikini thing.
	The bikini things.
	I'm going to have to send you a few so your algo can get into it.
	It's crazy.
	Well, you still haven't gotten to the fat JD events.
	I did because you sent it to me.
	Now I'm seeing that.
	I sent that couple off, but it's not enough.
	You have to get under, you know, where you're getting a lot of them.
	So here's something I can get behind.
	A.I. haters, that would be me, are building tar pits to trap and trick A.I. scrapers.
	So this.
	What's an A.I. scraper?
	Well, the AI is getting all of its information by scraping the web.
	Remember, there's an unwritten contract, John.
	It's a little late in the game to do this, to try to stop it.
	Oh, but I mean, we look at podcast index.
	Oh, man, that thing's getting hit millions of times an hour by AI bots, all trying to get information to scrape stuff.
	If you're running a website, people run their own website, it can cost you easily $40, $50 a month more just because of all the stuff that the AI scrape bots are doing.
	So this, yes.
	Oh, it's crazy.
	And they ignore robots.txt.
	Oh, yeah.
	Why would you pay attention to that?
	No, they ignore that.
	Gentlemen's agreement is over.
	There's no gentleman's agreement.
	So this thing is called Nepenthus, N-E-P-E-N-T-E-E-S, named after the Nepentha.
	Nepentha.
	Yeah, it's a carnivore.
	It's a winery called Nepenthes.
	So the way it works is it traps the AI crawlers and sends it on like an infinite maze of static files where there's no exit.
	So they just get stuck going from one file to the other file.
	And it's all nonsense.
	It's just all babble, all kind of just crap that's in there.
	So they're hoping to poison the AI.
	Ooh.
	Yeah.
	I like it.
	That's cute.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you would like it.
	I love this kind of stuff.
	Yeah, of course.
	These guys are ruining everything.
	They're ruining the whole business model of the internet.
	I don't understand how Google is going to do it.
	I've been using Gemini for research, and you ask it a question, it gives you the answer.
	It doesn't credit me with, it doesn't credit who came up with it.
	Right.
	And this came up with your use of the limbic capitalism.
	Limbic capitalism was stolen.
	Well, the bot gave it to me.
	I said the bot stole it.
	And then you stole it from the bot and it's two steps removed from its origin.
	And if it wasn't for our producers griping and moaning and groaning and calling you out, they weren't calling me out because I said I got it from Gemini.
	I didn't say right.
	But they were calling you out because they hate you.
	David, well, they can get in line behind you.
	David Courwright, who wrote The Age of Addiction.
	But my point is, the way the web, the web, the World Wide Web, W3, WWW, the way that worked is you write on your WordPress or on your sub stack or wherever, your blog, on your, you know, maybe you have a slick site and you do SEO and SEO gets you into higher rankings and maybe you buy some traffic.
	You know, there's a whole economy around this.
	And then you've got ads and you buy those ads from Google.
	So Google sends you traffic.
	You get traffic.
	You get, you know, two pennies for each time somebody sees an ad or that's even that's gone now.
	Maybe you get five cents.
	Someone clicks on the ad.
	That's now gone.
	There's no, you know, of course, people always continue to publish, but the whole economy of that system seems broken to me.
	Or do you view it differently?
	I think it's broken too.
	But I still view it differently.
	Okay.
	But I think it's totally broken.
	And I don't think anyone's come to the realization how broken it is yet.
	I mean, the collapse is before us.
	It's in advance.
	I mean, Google's already managed to get out of the way.
	I mean, they've moved to data selling and they've moved to Waymo.
	They get automated cars.
	I mean, Google has gotten, as you can tell by the price of their stock, which has increased considerably, is that they have kind of gotten out of the way of it because they know what's going to happen and it's going to pull the rug right out from under.
	Search is dead.
	Well, that's the money.
	Advertising, I just don't get it.
	Do they think they're going to fill it up with people paying 20 bucks a month for something that costs them 40?
	It's not tenable.
	I agree with that.
	But I have mixed feelings about its value.
	You don't.
	No, no, I see value in search of research, I can tell you.
	Yeah, search and research.
	I think that is very valuable for that.
	Because Gemini doesn't give you footnotes.
	I use perplexity.
	But forget it.
	But forget the footnotes.
	Forget the footnotes.
	It's giving you information.
	Sometimes Gemini says, click here for sources.
	You can request the sources.
	Who does that?
	You and I, maybe.
	But other people are like, just give me the answer.
	They're not interested.
	They're not interested in clicking on someone's website when you already have the answer.
	Well, I have to back you up because of my experience, because I look at numbers that we do with the newsletter, and I can put a link to something, sell the link.
	You got to go look at this, blah, You do this and that.
	You check it out, and here's the link.
	And then, so I look at the results after a couple of weeks of the people that clicked on the link that I was insisting.
	Well, not nobody, but the number is after selling it.
	I mean, it's not just a rando link just sitting there where you'd have to aggressively.
	You've already told them what's behind the link, basically.
	Not necessarily, but it's like, even if I tell them or I don't tell them, it doesn't make any difference.
	The number of people that click on the links is around 10% max.
	Yeah, that's pretty low.
	Well, it's the same thing when people say, well, it's like everything.
	It's like Instagram.
	Or people sending me, oh, look at this.
	And they send me a screenshot.
	What good is that?
	It's a screenshot of some article you got somewhere and you didn't give me the link to go read the article.
	I've complained about this in the past before AI came up.
	And that's what Instagram is.
	Oh, look at this story.
	And then it's a screenshot of a story with no link.
	I think, can you even put links in Instagram?
	Link in bio.
	I mean, you can't even put a link to a story.
	You can't even put a link.
	You can't.
	I don't think you can even put a put.
	Well, I guess.
	No, you can't.
	Not in Instagram.
	You can't put a link in the Internet.
	This is all photos.
	So they're ruining the web, man.
	As opposed to what?
	Well, keeping the vibe alive.
	Giving us an opportunity to contribute to the economy of the internet.
	Well, again, I see things more positively about this AI than you do.
	From what perspective?
	That Adam Carolla created podcasting?
	That's positive.
	Tom Green?
	Tom Green.
	Not Adam Carolla.
	Tom Green.
	Seriously, from what perspective do you see it positive?
	Well, you yourself use it for research.
	It shortens the time to develop material.
	Agreed, agreed, agreed.
	But the material is a positive thing.
	I mean, it's a time because time is money.
	Right.
	But people will stop creating stuff if they can't make money off of it.
	You think people just can, oh, well, I'm not making money anymore.
	I'll just keep doing it.
	Yeah.
	That's a tough question.
	Well, we have more art than we used to have.
	And it's all AI.
	Yeah.
	Oh, the quality of the art at end of show is just so amazing.
	Well, we had, there's been, we have less moments of no good art than we used to.
	No, less moments of acceptable art.
	Right.
	It's acceptable.
	We accept it.
	But it's all kind of meh.
	You know, it's like the same, it's the same thing about songs.
	Like, yeah, it's fun.
	It's okay.
	The songs I'm not, you know, I'm getting less.
	I have to say this.
	I'm getting a little fatigued, which is a code word, I guess, but a little fatigued with the songs.
	There's a kind of a sameness to them I'm beginning to dislike.
	Yeah.
	I mean, a good classic Broadway hit is in there, but it's one song.
	There's nothing outside of that same style and almost the same singer.
	And it's too structured.
	It's something tedious about it.
	And I can't put my finger on why because it's good quality.
	It's because there's no soul.
	It's soulless.
	There is a There is, I can't, there is, well, it's naturally soulless because it's done by a machine.
	Right.
	So it, so that might be reflected, but that could also be in your own mind that is soulless.
	Because you know it's being done by a computer, thus it has to be soulless.
	And so you're saying it's soulless, but it could be soulful.
	Yeah, but I mean, yeah.
	It just doesn't, I just don't get as much.
	It's it's joyless.
	How about that?
	Joyless.
	There's no joy.
	It's like, yeah, it's a good piece of art.
	Oh, it's a good song, but it has no joy.
	I'm not jumping up and down and want to go play it in my car.
	Ah, now you now you're talking.
	Yeah.
	Whereas there's end of show mixes that I could play over and over again.
	Like, you know, just great stuff that Chris Wilson did or Secret Agent Paul.
	I mean, fantastic, just beautiful.
	And companies burn out.
	Computers don't.
	You know why?
	Because they're not making any money on it.
	That's why we need to cut them in on the deal.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Now you're thinking like a Silicon Valley guy.
	We are Silicon Valley guys.
	We've been it all along.
	But since you bring up art, now is a perfect time to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in CBS's, I am you.
	Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeVori.
	Yeah, yeah, my new fam crew, superceibris graphic there.
	Subs in the water and the names are nice out.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, let me count.
	There we go.
	People hung over.
	1,410.
	That's about 400 lower than we should be having.
	I don't know, man.
	We're going down the tubes.
	No, it's a day off.
	This is a, we, we're working on a, people should note this.
	We're working on a holiday.
	Yeah.
	This is a holiday.
	Nobody else is working today.
	Yeah.
	I went to bed early.
	I didn't even see.
	In fact, the fact that you got that, the fact that Tony DuPal or Gupal or whatever his name is, I can never get it quite straight.
	Kupal, I forget his name.
	Kupal couple.
	The fact that that guy did a video that I guess maybe he did it a month ago, but whatever the case is.
	He likes he's working on a holiday, which is unusual for anybody in the media to be working on a holiday.
	They're all off.
	It's all the B and C teams, the people that want to hopefully they can move up so they can take the day off someday.
	Yeah, exactly right.
	Exactly right.
	And why?
	What's wrong with working on a holiday?
	I've always enjoyed working on holidays.
	Well, it's because you don't celebrate holidays on the holidays.
	You celebrate on a different day.
	That's your trick, you see.
	You won't work on the days when you actually celebrate Christmas or Thanksgiving or Easter.
	Yeah, which has been moved.
	I hear Mimi has the flu.
	She's that.
	Yeah, she ended up with the same flu that I think you have or had.
	No, I still have.
	Although I told her that you had it, and she goes, what?
	I said, yeah.
	I said, Adam, and I've always said this.
	Adam has the ability, no matter how sick he is, to always sound like his same old, same old.
	He may have been a little more grumpy, but it takes a revelation to get to that.
	Grumpy.
	I haven't heard that term in a long time.
	But he sounds he could be on his deathbed and he'd sound exactly like this.
	Yeah.
	Unfortunately, now that I'm a little bit better, I've still been sneezing a lot during the show on mute.
	Good.
	I can't do the Alex Jones voice.
	It's gone.
	No, you did it earlier before the show.
	I heard you.
	It didn't sound like it.
	It sounded pretty damn good.
	I was not happy with it.
	I was not happy.
	You know, maybe I should play these bonus clips here because ABC got a deal.
	ABC got an awesome deal with Big Pharma.
	I have nothing but ABC clips about the flu.
	It's like they're just all over it.
	Listen to this.
	Tonight, a sharp rise in flu cases, raising alarm among medical experts.
	In just one week, according to CDC data, flu-related illnesses jumping more than 60% from 4.6 million to 7.5 million.
	Hospitalizations also spiking more than 60% from 49,000 to 81,000.
	And more than 1,200 deaths have been reported.
	29 states now reporting very high or high rates of illness, including New York, which just reported its most ever cases in a week.
	Some schools closing early for the holiday break due to widespread illness.
	We had about an hour where the phone was just ringing off the wall.
	And wow, they still have phones on the wall like you.
	Parents call kids and sick.
	I don't have a phone on the wall.
	I thought you had a phone on the wall.
	I do not have a phone on the wall.
	That was a mean thing to say.
	Please.
	I used to have one that had a crank on the side.
	You remember that?
	Remember that phone?
	Yeah, I remember that phone.
	I always thought you had a phone on the wall.
	I'm not trying to be mean.
	When I was a kid, my parents had a phone on the wall.
	Yes, I had a phone on the wall, but apparently so do New York school districts.
	Parents calling kids and sick.
	That makes sense.
	Data showing last year's child flu deaths reached their highest level since the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
	Experts say vaccination rates among kids down 10% compared to before the pandemic are partially to blame.
	What can we do?
	Is the amount of patients presenting?
	That can put strain on the hospital system, limit resources, and treating the complications can become even more difficult.
	The CDC says the bulk of cases are linked to a new variant called Cyplade K, which has mutations that appear to have resulted in a mismatch with this year's flu vaccine.
	All the flu vaccines known as severe illness.
	With the CDC's data is released on a delay, that means these latest figures are from the week before Christmas.
	So current flu levels are likely even higher.
	So with all of their data and all of their magic science, they mismatched the flu this year.
	But it's not just flu.
	If you were in Newark, be careful.
	The New Jersey Health Department says some travelers who passed through Newark Liberty International Airport may have been exposed to measles.
	A passenger with the disease was at the airport on Friday, December 12th.
	The person was in terminals B and C all day.
	Officials are trying to track down people.
	What was he doing?
	What was the traveler doing in terminals B and C all day?
	Didn't they fly somewhere?
	Nice catch.
	This is bullcrap.
	Are they somehow in two terminals at the same time all day?
	All day.
	This is bullcrap.
	Officials are trying to track down people who were likely exposed.
	They also suggest those who have not been vaccinated to get an MMR shot.
	MMR.
	Measles is highly contagious to those who have not been vaccinated.
	So that was ABC, and then here's my phone.
	Wait, wait, stop.
	Did you catch a little bit at the end?
	It's highly contagious to people who are not vaccinated.
	Really?
	What if you've had the measles?
	Measles is highly contagious to those who have not been vaccinated.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's also not, it's also not contagious to people who have had it.
	Yeah.
	No, but this, this is, they got a big buy.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	MMR.
	And here's here's the final one.
	Also, ABC.
	The new warning from health officials about the rise in flu illnesses across the country.
	The CDC just releasing new data today, reporting more than 4 million new cases in just the last week.
	Yeah, the agency says more than two dozen states are reporting a high number of cases.
	That includes Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey.
	How high?
	Action News Report of Vague Can't Life Works at Belmont Plateau with advice from Drs Maggie.
	Yeah, we spoke to a couple doctors today, Gray and Sarah, and they say, listen, something is going around.
	You talk to anyone.
	They probably know someone who is sick right about now, and it's kind of a triple threat here.
	They're seeing cases of flu, COVID, and neurovirus.
	I think she says neurovirus.
	Peneural.
	Yeah, wait, listen, listen.
	Is it too late to get a flu or COVID vaccine at this point?
	No, I'm sure it's not.
	Absolutely not.
	And we encourage you to talk to your doctors.
	Stop, stop, stop the clip.
	So they've already said that the flu vaccine doesn't include this flu, this influenza A that's going around that Mimi has, that you have, that a bunch of people have.
	It's not in the shot, but it's not too late to get the shot.
	Well, but you want to get the shot against COVID and you want to get the MMR for the measles.
	Even though the measles isn't in this report, it's some mystical neurovirus.
	Triple threat.
	But if you back it up, they specifically said, should we go out and get a flu shot?
	The flu shot is included in that.
	Let's listen.
	That includes Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey.
	Actually, news reporter Maggie Kent Life Wars at Belmont Plateau with advice from Drs Maggie.
	Yeah, we spoke to a couple doctors today, Gray and Sarah, and they say, listen, something is going around.
	You talk to anyone.
	They probably know someone who is sick right about now.
	And it's kind of a triple threat here.
	They're seeing cases of flu, COVID, and neurovirus.
	Is it too late to get a flu or COVID vaccine?
	You're right.
	You nailed it.
	At this point in the season.
	Absolutely not.
	And we encourage you to talk to your doctors.
	Getting the flu vaccine is the single most greatest thing that someone can do.
	It's the single most greatest thing you can do in the universe is getting your vaccine.
	She just said it doesn't work.
	Here's another really easy thing that you can do.
	Dr. Wardlaw is stressing soap and Dr. Vaudeville.
	I got to tell you.
	Listen to what, listen to.
	We're never going to get your doctor.
	Vaudeville.
	Hey, I got a million of them.
	Here's another really easy thing that you can do.
	Dr. Wardlaw is stressing soap and water is best here when it comes to keeping your hands clean because neurovirus does not.
	She says neurovirus.
	I'm telling you.
	Is this some new thing they're trying to slip into the public consciousness?
	Neurovirus?
	No, not neuro, but neuro.
	Neuro.
	Not neuro.
	Not neuro.
	Because it's neurovirus.
	Neuro.
	Neurovirus.
	But she's saying neuro.
	Listen closely.
	And water is best here when it comes to keeping your hands clean because neurovirus does not respond to hand sanitizers.
	So wash your hands often.
	She's saying neuro.
	I like neural even better.
	Neurovirus.
	If you get neuros neural.
	Neural is not neuro.
	It's near neural.
	It's neuro O'Donnell.
	Whatever.
	You're right.
	There's somebody dropped a ton of money.
	Paid.
	They got paid to do this crap, and then they're promoting the fuck.
	In the same report, they say the flu vaccine doesn't work.
	This is an offshoot.
	And everyone's getting sick from it.
	But get the shot anyway.
	Give me a break.
	It's fantastic.
	These people are shameless.
	So y'all should be listening to this on a modern podcast app, which you can get at podcastapps.com.
	Tomorrow on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast, we'll have young Mitch will be on the talk about Podverse 2.0, which is supposed to just be dynamite.
	So I don't know when it's being released, but you'll be notified for an upgrade.
	Do we already know about Podcasting 2.0?
	Do we already know about it?
	No, what's he going to tell us?
	Oh, no, about Podverse.
	The new.
	Oh, the new Podverse.
	Yeah, everyone's excited about the new Podverse.
	Yeah.
	I'm just telling you what's going on.
	Already know what is in there.
	What's so special?
	I don't actually.
	I've just, he posts a lot on our on our Mastodon about it.
	And it's just, he's doing a lot of stuff.
	You know, the big thing, okay.
	So here's the big thing that everyone wants to move towards.
	This is an interesting conundrum.
	So everyone is like, well, we need to do video.
	We need to do video.
	We should be doing video.
	We should be doing video.
	Let's do video.
	And they're trying to sneak in that it should be HLS video.
	Why?
	I'm going to tell you why.
	So HLS is a streaming protocol.
	It's actually developed by Apple.
	And when you, so, you know, podcasting used to be it down, it automatically downloads everything for you, and then you just play it.
	It's on your device.
	That is pretty much not needed anymore unless you're getting on an airplane.
	Even then, do you really need it?
	Because you can just click on it.
	You don't need to download it first and it just plays because of bandwidth.
	And podcasting was originally developed as a workaround of bandwidth constraint.
	So HLS video, you won't be downloading two gigabytes of a video episode.
	It'll just give you what you need at that moment.
	Now, the podcast industrial complex wants this because they also want it for MP3s.
	Why, you ask?
	Yeah, why?
	Because then for the first time, we can actually show advertisers the amount of time someone listened if they actually heard their ad because it will be okay.
	I'm still listening, but now I'm wondering how's that work?
	Well, because it's a streaming protocol.
	So if you're listening to minute 35, then the log file shows that you are listening to minute 35 as we stream that to you.
	And when you stop at minute 47, which is right before an ad break, we can see that you didn't listen to the ads.
	Do you see the difference?
	When you download a podcast, they have no idea if you heard the ad.
	They just saw you got to download.
	So now they're in this conundrum because they desperately want to be able to show advertisers.
	But wait, I appreciate the desire to show these advertisers or whatever because the advertisers are so important.
	They run everything.
	So we have to do that.
	But how many people are going to adopt pure streaming as opposed to download and play?
	It would be completely seamless to you because people don't even know that it's downloading.
	People don't even know that it's an R podcasters don't even know that it's an RSS feed.
	Oh, I just use RSS.com or BuzzSprout because they're my distributor.
	They distribute it everywhere.
	They have no idea how it works.
	So they don't care.
	Listeners don't care.
	You just hit the play button.
	It shows up in your app.
	You hit the play button.
	No different from a modern podcast app.
	You get the bat signal.
	It says no agenda show live.
	You hit it.
	You're streaming, right?
	So they don't know the difference.
	The problem is they all want to move towards this because the advertising industry wants it, but nobody really wants to do it because then we'll find out that no one's actually listening to these podcasts.
	They're just being downloaded.
	And they've been reporting.
	Yes, and they've been reporting download numbers for 20 years.
	And it's going to be like, oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry.
	People don't actually hear the ads.
	That's the problem, which is exactly why we.
	Yeah, that's why you used to.
	I was wondering why you used the word at the beginning of this little presentation, the word conundrum.
	Yes.
	And that is indeed a conundrum.
	It is a big conundrum.
	Exactly.
	Because the industry wants it, but they don't really want it.
	And so all eyes on Apple because Apple doesn't support HLS and their podcast app.
	But if they do, then everyone will be doing HLS and you're going to see the podcast spectrum go from 4.5 million to two very quickly because the money will go away.
	Because of course, the EU.
	What little money there is.
	Well, they say it's 2.6 billion.
	Exactly.
	Okay.
	That's just America.
	That's just America.
	So we don't.
	Homie, don't play that game.
	Exactly.
	We don't play that.
	We have value for value.
	The only way we stay alive is if you continue to support us with your time, your talent, and your treasure.
	One of those three T's is indeed the artwork, which we are appreciative of, even though, you know, I feel it's difficult.
	Even though one of the two of us hates it.
	I've never said I hated it, but okay.
	Well, what happens now is Darren O'Neill.
	You know, why don't we just create a website called Darren O'Neill's Art and just have him upload the, don't even make it public.
	Just email it to us, Darren, because he's the only one that gets some decent results out of it, it seems.
	Because we've chosen to be able to do that.
	Well, if you notice, he got a very interesting result in his one, the Happy New Year one that says, Happy New Year.
	Welcome to 2005 or whatever it is.
	Did you notice that?
	I'm looking at the first I'm looking at the one from episode 1829, which we titled Zumervoffen.
	And that is, it wasn't necessarily a Happy New Year's type of artwork.
	Of course, we were a few days away from the changing of the year.
	This was the kind of anarchist piece, which I'm surprised you allowed it because when you really look at it, it's kind of gruesome.
	You got a skull in there.
	Yeah, well, it was all, it was playful.
	It was gruesome, but playful.
	It was complicated.
	Yeah, you're probably right.
	I probably should have vetoed it because of the gruesome.
	But it was playful.
	It didn't bother him.
	For some reason, the gruesomeness did not come to the fore.
	So congratulations once again, Darren O'Neill.
	And let's just take a look at the other at NoAgendaArt Generator.
	Well, look at the one where he did Goodbye 2005.
	Is it a new one?
	No, it came in the same batch.
	Okay, let's see his here.
	Goodbye 2005.
	Let's see.
	I don't see it.
	Another problem.
	It's just so much.
	It's just colors swimming before my eyes.
	Okay, what's in the current first page?
	It's by Darren.
	So that's easier to search.
	It's by Darren.
	Okay, let me just search Darren.
	That's probably easier.
	Okay.
	Darren O'Neal.
	All right.
	I'm looking for goodbye 2005.
	Both fireworks.
	It says by 2005.
	Yes, I see it.
	Buy 2005.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Well, and he uploaded anything.
	How he didn't catch that.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's because he didn't see it.
	He saw, he knows what he put in, and then he just posted it.
	So this is part of the problem.
	Yeah.
	This is junk being posted.
	Even by the top guy, Darren O'Neill is posting garbage.
	Junk.
	This should have never been posted.
	You're right.
	People, if it's garbage, don't post it.
	But of course, everyone.
	Oh, this is great.
	This is a great piece.
	Oh, it's fantastic.
	The boys will love it.
	It's ruining everything.
	This show is ending.
	We're not going to make another year, let alone four more.
	We're going down, man.
	We're playing AI clips.
	We've got stupid AI art.
	We've got end of show mixes that are just sound formulae.
	AI.
	Yeah, why don't we just make if they could make us AI?
	I would be all for it.
	Now, look at this.
	I'll just go off and do a podcast with Pastor Jimmy, who doesn't, who loves me.
	Look at the pieces that just came in in the second row down or so.
	You got the cartoon with the baby and the AI called Crying Kids by Darren O'Neal.
	Where did that model come from?
	This is a totally different cartoon style.
	It's also, I see it on his other pieces.
	Yeah.
	This is a completely new cartoon style.
	Of course, if you notice the woman, this is another example of putting garbage up that Darren should not post.
	The woman has three arms.
	Which one is that?
	I don't see three arms.
	Crying kid.
	Yeah.
	Oh, she does have three arms.
	right. That is bad.
	Yeah.
	That's just, oh, I did it.
	It gave me a prompt.
	All right.
	I'm good.
	They'll choose me anyway.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, that's like MVP who's doing the end of show mix.
	It's like, man, I should make, oh, can I make him three or four minutes?
	No.
	It's hard to listen to a minute and a half.
	Yeah, but listen to this.
	It's really good.
	No, it's not.
	It's not.
	Nothing is good for four minutes as an end-of-show mix.
	None of it.
	Maybe we should just stop with the end of show mix.
	How about that?
	We stop the end of show mix.
	Now, this would hurt your feelings.
	No, no, no, no.
	It's your, you, you do it.
	You're controlling it.
	You're the producer.
	No, I end the show mix.
	I'm the one complaining about it.
	I'd be happy as any producer would do.
	This is like Brunetti.
	He complains about the.
	Remember how this started?
	This started with we do an end of show clip and it would be a longer clip.
	It was actually in the beginning because I went back and checked.
	It would be like sometimes a four, five, six minute clip.
	It was interesting to listen to.
	And then people started sending these.
	Oh, that lasted no very because people started sending things they produced.
	And then I remember you saying, I really like it because it's kind of a nice way.
	The show ends and you got something to listen to.
	And now it's just become painful.
	So why don't we just stop that and just have Darren do the art and just give him a note to change the credit every time.
	It's easier.
	Or maybe you just ask him what model he's using and you do the art.
	You're an artist.
	I'm not going to.
	Well, he's already showed me a lot of stuff that is quite interesting, but he spends the difference is time.
	No, it's just run its course.
	Well, the album art hasn't run its course because we can't get away from that.
	That's from the beginning.
	Right, but it's all Darren.
	Well, we got the thing about.
	Do you remember the period?
	Wait, do you remember the era of Martin JJ?
	Yes.
	Martin JJ was dominating the art for months and months and months.
	And he was just winning everything like Darren's doing.
	And he just stood up and said, I quit.
	I've been winning too much art.
	What he did is he fell on his sword.
	Yeah, but he's not.
	But he's tried to come back and he's not done.
	He hasn't been able to do it.
	Well, this is like anything else.
	If you're in a groove and you take some time off, the groove is gone and you never come back.
	I mean, we had a lot of guys that were really outstanding.
	Pettigrew is a good example, but he can't listen to the show.
	Nick Durat comes and goes.
	But maybe, Darren, I'm not saying he should yet, but now that I've seen these two pieces of slop, the 2005 thing and the woman with three arms that he's posting them, maybe he should reconsider and maybe only produce one or two pieces.
	But then look at his bitch and moan with the Canada flag and the two buttons.
	I mean, that is Darren.
	That's a good piece.
	Where's the bitch and moon?
	Oh, bitch.
	Oh, that's a great piece.
	So, Darren O'Neal, we should just email it to us, Darren.
	It's easier.
	Yeah.
	And we'll have to discuss it.
	Just like, oh, Darren's great.
	Boost him on his show.
	But I mean, AI is ruining my life.
	It's not ruining your life.
	More than you know.
	Everything.
	But people email me entire AI.
	Oh, I've done some research.
	Don't send me the output of Chat GPT.
	I've done some research.
	Don't send me the output of your Chat GPT.
	Don't.
	Just don't.
	With your M dashes?
	No.
	No.
	No, please don't.
	No.
	It's everyone.
	No, Darren has to keep doing this until somebody else comes along.
	Yeah, well, okay, we'll see.
	Jeffrey Ray is very competitive.
	Yeah, but he has bad models.
	His models aren't always good.
	And blue acorn sometimes good.
	Anyway, let us thank the people who also matter.
	I wouldn't say only matter, but also matter.
	What happened?
	All of a sudden, people supported us.
	This was not.
	At the end of the year, they're looking at their bank.
	Oh, you know, this is the time.
	At the end of the year, let's give them some support.
	Oh, so Sunday will suck.
	Is that what you're saying?
	Well, we'll find out, won't we?
	But the point is, is that it seems like there was a scramble at the end to help us, to bring the show back up to speed.
	Of course, the books have already been closed.
	So this goes into next year, which is fine with me.
	But I like it.
	I'm not complaining.
	That's for sure.
	I appreciate it.
	Hey, looking at the time, maybe we should just do all the donations in this segment.
	We're running behind.
	All right, let's do it.
	All right, let's start then with Dame Mamicon from Sylvania, Ohio.
	$1,500.
	Thank you very much.
	A very nice way to start off the new year.
	And here is her note, a handwritten note.
	Merry Christmas.
	Happy New Year to John and Adam and the No Agenda Nation.
	Karma all around.
	Dame Mamicon, as in Decepticons.
	P.S. If gold and silver are rising, what is dropping?
	Oh, well, that's an easy one.
	The value of your money.
	Your actual fiat paper money is devaluing.
	That's the answer.
	Here's your karma, Dame Mamicon.
	You've got karma.
	Here we go to R.S. Bagwell.
	Mr. Bagwell in Louisville, Kentucky.
	123456, $1,234.50.
	This is the best donation number you can come up with.
	Beautiful number.
	Beautiful number.
	Gentlemen, here is my 2025 donation.
	All I request is jobs karma, the original, the original jobs comer, not the one with Trump.
	Karma continues to come through for me.
	Because of this, I'm able to continue my support of the best podcast in the universe.
	Cheers.
	He writes.
	R.S. Bagwell is good for him.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	That's both for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Now, talking of another great note here from Little John's Candies, note, it's not from Christopher.
	It's from Little John's Candies this time from Somerset, California.
	$1,131.30 with a note.
	And he says, John, I'm like, I'm chopped liver.
	This is not my donation.
	This is the donation from the 100-plus producers that used ITM 10 plus 10 at littlejohnscandies.com.
	See email for detailed lists of producers.
	Oh, I didn't get a detailed list of producers.
	Did you?
	No, I didn't notice that.
	Were we supposed to thank them all individually?
	No, of course not.
	They were just, you know, they all bought boxes of candies.
	What exactly?
	This is an interesting model that we've, that has kind of appeared here from Little John's.
	Others have done it, but I don't think ever to this extent.
	This is like value for value plugging.
	I mean, what exactly do we call it?
	Isn't it very similar to Agenda Shop?
	Yeah.
	I don't know if they're still alive.
	Well, they left.
	It's a tough, tough time.
	Doing merch.
	Merch.
	It sucks.
	Doing merch is tough.
	It's tough.
	That's why we don't do it.
	That's right.
	I mean, I think we tried it for one minute.
	Nick Fuentes does his merch.
	Well, a lot of guys are, a lot of, I don't want to, Nick's not an amateur by any means.
	He's very professional, but at the same time, I think a lot of people, especially podcasters, are naive about the merch.
	They think, don't you think?
	Because we right away saw this as a loser.
	Like, we're not going to do that.
	We can't do that.
	You got to coordinate it.
	You got to design it.
	You got to print it.
	You got to, you know, if you're set up to print t-shirts, maybe if you have like the t-shirt spinner, your house there, you can stamp out some t-shirts.
	You don't have any of that stuff.
	So it's like merch is like merch.
	Merch.
	Merch.
	No good.
	All right.
	You're up next.
	This is good.
	And these are all peace prize winners, too.
	Yes.
	We ended up the year with a lot of them.
	Not that we do merch.
	We don't do merch.
	We just do peace prizes and PhDs.
	Yeah.
	It's a version of merch.
	Well, it's more of a premium, I'd call it.
	Premium.
	Sir Eric is naked.
	It's not merch because it's not taxed.
	Ah, there you go.
	That's another thing.
	Yeah.
	When you do merch, you got to deal with taxation.
	Yeah, sales tax.
	And every state's got its own.
	I hate that.
	This is no good.
	No.
	Who wants to do it?
	Nobody.
	Sir Eric is.
	No, that's not true.
	All the podcasters think it's a good idea.
	Sir Eric is naked and he's in South August, Utah, and he came in with $1,000.
	Wow.
	30.26 cents.
	103026.
	Happy New Year to the best podcasts in the universe.
	Hopefully, by $1,300.26, which is $30,026 covers the PayPal fees.
	Ah, got it.
	That's 15 cents if you send a check.
	V4V came in time for the coveted International Peace Prize.
	All right, good for him.
	No jingles.
	All the best.
	Sir Eric is naked.
	All right.
	I don't know why he's naked.
	He is Sir Eric and he's naked.
	That's fine by me.
	Jermaine C. is not naked.
	He's in O'Fallon, Missouri.
	Sends us $1,000 and a hilarious note, two pages from the desk of Jermaine C. Night.
	Oh, look at this.
	This is in pen, and I don't think I can read this whole thing.
	In the morning to both of you, magnificent bastards of media secret messaging decoders.
	I wanted to start off by saying because of you two, I have further become more of an anomaly.
	The 18 plus years of work you guys have done has caused me to further unlock the mental shackles and bindings that I have been brainwashed into applying or manipulated, he crossed that out, into applying onto myself.
	In order to not make this letter too long, which it already is, it's two full pages.
	I'll just go over the bullet points of the most important parts.
	Origins, I started listening to the show in the late 2000s, back around the time Adam made a guest appearance on Cranky Geeks.
	Which he never, which Adam, wait, I was never on Cranky Geeks.
	Yes, you were.
	I was the original Cranky Geeks when Ziff was doing it.
	Oh, one time.
	One time.
	One time.
	It was years.
	It was in the 90s.
	It was years before we started this show.
	Wow.
	I don't even think I think it was pre-Mevio or pre-pod show.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Why was I on?
	You were in town or something somehow.
	I don't know how you even got on this.
	I don't think it was that long ago.
	It was a long time ago because it was in the studio at the Ziff studios.
	Yeah.
	Well, he says Adam kept making jokes about Johnny Ives' voice.
	I'm Johnny Ive.
	I've created the iPhone.
	I'm Johnny Ive.
	I remember that.
	I became hooked since.
	Have you heard my Alex Jones?
	We got all the documents.
	Candace, I love you.
	You're wrong.
	You're wrong.
	It's all wrong.
	The elites have gotten control of you.
	I listened to the show on and off.
	You know what?
	I think it's still good if you slowed it down just a little bit.
	All right.
	I think your cadence, I think your cadence is off, but I think the voice is still solid.
	We got a really important emergency.
	That's fine.
	That's perfect.
	That sounds terrific.
	Emergency broadcast.
	We got the John C. Devorak from the very famous No Agenda show.
	As you're speeding up again.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Okay.
	I'll work on it.
	As I listened to the show off and on up until the end of Trump's first term, shit was hitting the fan too hard for me, and I need to disconnect from it all and refocus on my immediate priorities, mainly getting through engineering school.
	Then he has Covades, he says.
	Long story short, I am growing prouder by the day, knowing that I wasn't the only one to reach the same conclusion that the VAX, aka the curse, was total bull crap.
	I was still in Comifornia struggling through engineering school.
	Okay, I'm going to go down a little bit.
	Go down a lot.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to do something different from my requests if it's okay with you guys.
	I don't need karma because I don't believe in it.
	I don't need jobs karma because I already got one.
	I don't need house karma either because I have one of those as well.
	The only thing I could use is some relationship assistance.
	It's kind of lonely up here on the top of my personal peak of success.
	Jingles, 70s rock version of 999.
	I have a metal vertical.
	I don't really, I don't remember a 70s rock version.
	Writing writing up fake news?
	What was that?
	I have no idea.
	Wait.
	Maybe.
	These are mysterious.
	Fake news jingle.
	Was there fake news jingle?
	No, not that I know of.
	Yeah, we've had, well, I'll play one for you.
	Lesser played Pastor Manning.
	If you have Manning calling Trump a chump, please use that.
	No, man, we'll do a money shot.
	Night name, night, no name, nobody.
	So he will be knighted as night, no name, nobody.
	And thank you.
	I want to play a little bit of this 999 metal verse.
	See if that's what you're looking for.
	Starts here, I think.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's it.
	That's the one.
	That's the ticket.
	That's better than the end of show mixes.
	Writing up some fake news.
	Trying to get cheap clicks and copy views.
	Writing up some fake news.
	Propaganda time.
	That's a show of money shot.
	Jesus.
	Woo!
	Lord!
	Look at that.
	That's a money shot.
	Kenan Conway is a money shot.
	There you go.
	The fake news jingles better than the AI September.
	Exactly.
	That is my point.
	Today we're just going to end the show.
	We're just going to end it.
	No end of show.
	No, you've got stuff planned.
	I heard that.
	It's no good.
	It's okay, but it's not.
	I'm getting disturbed by this.
	What do you mean?
	Well, I mean, the end of the show little songs, there was always some killers in there that were once in a while.
	Yeah.
	When's the last killer you remember?
	I thought that the No Agenda Christmas or whatever it was from someone.
	Darren O'Neill.
	A couple of months ago, a couple of two, three shows ago is outstanding.
	It was Darren O'Neal.
	Yeah.
	We should just make him a partner.
	And bring Larry in the deal.
	He is a partner.
	We don't have to make him one.
	Bring Larry in on the deal.
	It's all good.
	You're up.
	You're up.
	I know I'm up.
	I closed the spreadsheet by accident.
	Sir Shug A in Commiss, Washington.
	He came in with 616.
	And he said, his faux diddly.
	ITM, Adam and John.
	Happy New Year to you.
	The donation of 616 brings me to another knighthood, which is to be a switcheroo given to my smoking hot wife, granting her a damehood in the No Agenda Nation.
	Her title will be Dame Jitterbug, Fixer of Gadgets.
	For the roundtable, she requests a New York strip, medium rare source from a local rancher and a Pepsi.
	So you might as well wash down your beautifully clean steak with some poison.
	She needs a de-douching and a lot of phosphoric acid, which is, I think, tasty.
	She needs a de-douching and can use a we're all gonna die little girl jingle.
	Thank you for your attention to this matter, Sir Shug, aka Fo Diddley.
	You've been dedouched.
	We're all gonna die.
	Another classic.
	Another classic.
	Commodore G, Cincinnati, Ohio, 343.75, executive producership for you.
	Should remind everybody that if you donate $200 or above, you become an associate executive producer and we'll read your note within reason.
	And if it's $300 or above, you get an executive producer title.
	All these are good at imdb.com or your LinkedIn profile or on the X, wherever you want to put it.
	Put it on your, on your, what's the blue, the Blue Cry, the Blue Sky profiles, and people will block you.
	Is that still running?
	I think so, yeah.
	And Commodore G says, happy new year from Commodore G.
	And then we have Jeffrey Ray, who I believe is the artist.
	Yes.
	In Madeira, the island, Portuguese Island.
	I didn't know that.
	I didn't know that either.
	Madeira, Madeira.
	Give me a glass of Madeira, my dear.
	That's what they say.
	They make a very nice.
	People should have I should put it on the tips.
	I have to give it.
	I should give a little lecture on Madeira sometime.
	Oh, by the way, we had dinner last night with the international arms dealer.
	He told me, you know, he's in all these wine groups and everything.
	He said that the bourbon barrel aged red wines are all happening now.
	It's the big thing.
	And he was on this mailing list and he said, well, actually, John C. Dvorak of the No Agenda Show gave me a great tip on the Robert Modave.
	And apparently, this is now a thing, the bourbon barrel aged.
	There's a ton of them out there.
	Yeah, I've noticed this too.
	So people who followed that tip are literally on the tip.
	The end of the game.
	The other ones I've seen out there are garbage.
	So the one we recommend is the one forget.
	Anyway, Jeffrey Ray came with 333.33.
	He has no note.
	I have no idea why you'd think he would have a note since he says in art.
	And I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.
	So we'll give him a double up karma.
	That's exactly what we'll do.
	You've got karma.
	Matthew Doolittle, Raleigh, North Carolina, 333.33.
	Happy New Year, you climate change-denying Zionist chills, he says.
	I couldn't think of a less deserving pair, considering you ride on the laurels of the almighty podcast creator, Tom Green.
	Okay.
	You got a comedian.
	I surely hope a portion of this donation goes on to forward a video-based podcast for him on Rumble or similar platform with hyper-local focus on Ontario, Canada's greatest export, Neil Pert, may no longer exist, but perhaps Drake can employ a world-class drummer for Tom's next video cast.
	Wow, this is very cultural.
	To my lovely wife, Chelsea, I hope that in 2026 we continue to have more fun adventures across the globe.
	I am joyous that we can make it thousands of miles across the Atlantic or across the U.S., for that matter, seamlessly.
	I'm not sure how many thousands of miles we have traveled together, though I pray it has given us status on at least some airline.
	Our willingness to take advantage of cheap flights and hotels during the lockdowns carries on to this day.
	You are a shark when it comes to trip planning, amazing trips, and I love you.
	On a sadder note, I would like to call out my douchebag friend Alex, who currently resides in Raleigh, North Carolina.
	He's a transplant from New England and apparently, oops, I lost my place, left his wallet in Connecticut 20 plus years ago.
	I've listened to enough donation segments and split enough bar tabs with this man to understand he is indeed a cheap bastard.
	He originally hit me in the mouth, so I'm deeply saddened.
	John and Adam, please take this donation and hold on to it until such point Nick Fuentes does one of those masterclass things that my social media keeps pushing on me.
	He undoubtedly would have prescribed the correct birthday to me, which is April 15th and not the 19th, as noted on episode 1756.
	Regardless, I love you guys and happy new year to you and your families.
	Well, that's one for Jay.
	I hope she hope she read it, Jay.
	Okay, onward with Darius Gandhi, who is in Santa Monica, California.
	He came in with 333.33 and he says, sending an email.
	No, we have not got the note.
	At least I don't have it.
	Maybe you do.
	And it should be sent, of course, the notes at noagendashow.net.
	Notes at noagendashow.net.
	And if you send a note to Adam or myself, make sure to put donation in the subject line just so it gets shuffled over to no.
	All we do is send it to notes at noagendashow.net ourselves.
	So you might as well skip the middleman.
	So he didn't, we have no notes, so we'll give him a double up karma.
	Yes, we will.
	You've got karma.
	Sir Bobby, Sir Bobby's in Amsterdam.
	That's in the Netherlands.
	333 says, Merry New Year from Sir Bobby, the redoer.
	All right, Sir Bobby.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay, now I have to watch screens.
	Yeah, I have Cassandra Fair, $250.15.
	She'll be a first associate executive producer.
	And she says that she attached docs 12, 11, 25 to John and Adam.
	I don't have that, but I do have this.
	She needs health karma.
	Hit it.
	He's Trump.
	He's Trump the President.
	Hold on a second.
	We haven't heard that for a while.
	She sent us the Word document.
	Her note was so big, she put it in a Word doc.
	You didn't get the Word doc?
	No, I don't have it.
	No.
	Oh.
	Well, if you recall, she and her husband have the hot muscle cars.
	So her husband, Mike, has a 1974 Plymouth CUDA, and she owns a 71 Dodge Challenger RT.
	Those are pretty collectible.
	Oh, they're beautiful.
	She put a picture.
	It's the head of the CUDA.
	The CUDA in particular.
	Their website is thehemihideout.com.
	And she wants, okay, so today is the day.
	It has to be before the end of the year.
	Oh, that's right.
	I think she's she tried to get this to us before the end.
	Does she want to be a dame before the end of 2025?
	So she'll be a dame for the first ones.
	2022.
	We're going to give her damehood today and post-date it.
	We're going to do what Silicon Valley does.
	That's what you said earlier.
	We're Silicon Valley guys.
	Post-date your options.
	You're post-dated to let yesterday.
	It has to be before the end of the year with me now being in the bonus round of life.
	Looking forward to so many more donations to the show.
	I want to be knighted, damed, Dame Mopar of the Fort Bend County, Texas, where my husband and I rev our engines together.
	And apparently she also sent us each a box or a bottle of the famous Mesquite Liquid Smoke that you like so much.
	Did you get liquid smoke in the P.O. box?
	I got some liquid smoke.
	You know, I'm going to have to tell people out there.
	You know, the cold gen, it looks like it's sealed.
	And it looks like it's well sealed, but it's not.
	My liquid smoke got all over everything.
	In the P.O. box?
	Yeah.
	And it's made this, the, the post office smell like it was on fire.
	Oh, she sent one to me too.
	I think Tina went to the P.O. box.
	I don't know if we have it yet.
	I don't know.
	It just certain brands, certain things do not get sealed correctly or tight enough, or they don't have, I don't know, grommets.
	Whatever.
	Well, Cassandra, thank you very much.
	We look forward to daming you.
	And she wants, hit it, he's Trump, he's Trump the president.
	Everyone hug and share a secret.
	Can you do the hit it?
	Hit it.
	He's Trump.
	He's Trump the President.
	Oh, there's no winning.
	We don't like to foster a competitive atmosphere, but we laugh a lot.
	Now, everyone, hug and share a secret.
	Thank you, Cassandra.
	Robert Anderson is in Austin, Texas.
	$250.
	No notes.
	So double up karma for Robert.
	You've got karma.
	And I'll do this for you.
	Baron Commodore, PhD, guest cadaver.
	Goose cadaver.
	He's Dürn.
	Putrecht.
	Yes.
	Holland, 233.
	ITM, John and Adam.
	To finish off the previous four more years and to start the next four more years cycle, may I challenge you to another prediction or assumption for the next four years.
	I know assumptions are the mother of all fuck-ups.
	So for not my word.
	So for now, I'll leave it that as it is, whatever.
	Anyways, he spells with three S's.
	Thank you for all your efforts, hard time, time, frustration when John has mislabeled his clips and ISOs, media deconstruction, M5M, bull shittery.
	A shout out to all the producers, No Agenda, donating, nobility and douchebags, donate, John's voice, and the Gitmo Lowlands old country community.
	Finally, also a promo for the No Agenda.
	Get Sir Dre of the Empty PayPal and Broken Brain out of the house meetup on Saturday, January 18th.
	17th Sunday.
	And I said Saturday.
	Yeah.
	And it clearly says Sunday.
	January 18th at D. DeHeron von Bergen and Dahl.
	Connection is protection, he continues.
	Thank you for your courage, Sir Baron, Commodore, Ph.D., Aguskadaver.
	He nailed it.
	Baron Surfer, Shasta Lake, California, 226.
	Happy New Year, Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	Four more years.
	So now somehow the scripts flipped and I'm getting the long notes.
	I tried to do it for you, but you just, I was trying to do Sir Baron, Commodore, Ph.D. Chuskadafer, but you didn't get my cues.
	I screwed up.
	Yeah, you did.
	Because now I have to read this.
	I'll do it.
	You want me to do it?
	Yeah, that would be great.
	Edward Saja, Zaja, Mechanicsville, Virginia.
	Saja.
	Already starts off bad.
	225.
	Guys, thanks for all the good work you do today.
	1228 is my birthday.
	1230 is my wife Liz's birthday.
	Please add us to the list.
	Well, of course, it'll be post-the birthday, but you're on the list.
	We're in the midst of the Catholic Hanukkah celebration.
	What?
	With all the holidays surrounding our birthdays, we are Catholic.
	Oh, but are borrowing from the multi-day holiday of the Feast of Lights for our own week of celebration.
	Please add us to the list.
	You're on it.
	A couple of other things, show-related.
	John, the knife is nice.
	Broke a white-tailed down.
	I got it yesterday with.
	Broke a white-tailed.
	Nice to use.
	That's a deer.
	You use that knife to cut up a deer?
	I guess so.
	Nice to use a higher carbon alloy better than 420 stainless.
	For the gigawatt coffee guy, Eli, I can't make that taste bad.
	Normally, I can add twice the grounds and get it to be bitter, but I can't seem to do it with his stuff.
	I started to use it to make cold brew.
	It excels at that.
	So this is very, very difficult to make a gigawatt coffee bitter.
	In Virginia, this is roasting cycle.
	I would say a couple of things.
	One, for one thing, I take another roast.
	I take his roast on a brevil.
	They have a grinding knob you turn to get a certain grind out, coarse or fine.
	Almost everybody's coffee, you have to set it to 25 to get the drip to come out at the right time.
	With gigawatt.
	Gigawatt, it's always 35.
	Always.
	Which is a coarser grind to make a finer end product.
	So his coffee, so he's doing something with his roasting.
	He's got a roasting cycle that's slightly different than the mainstream.
	No kidding.
	He's Eli.
	In Virginia, Edward goes on.
	In Virginia, we have the data centers.
	This is a great time to sit back and watch the finger pointing as nobody wants to take responsibility for getting enough power for it.
	We'll see what will happen when our new government tries to put her finger in it.
	A governor tries to put her finger in it.
	It would be a real win for any politician to get off the regulatory horse of NIMBY, not in my backyard, and lessen restrictions on new power plants for the supply to this industry.
	Yeah, because we need more bikinis.
	We could go back to the old cojin model of the past where big power users had their own generation capacity.
	Lead time in power plants is long due to equipment manufacturing, turbines, and transformers.
	Supposedly, you can buy and sell your place in line.
	Here's a good article about it.
	And he sends an article.
	Thank you very much, Ed.
	And you both are on the list.
	Yeah, whatever happened to Cojin.
	Matthew Martell, there he is in Brewmall, Pennsylvania, $210.60.
	Happy New Year.
	I could write a book on customer returns.
	I got it.
	We got a note.
	Did you get the note on customer returns?
	Yeah, some dude.
	He's like, I object because I'm a man and I order all of my blue jeans and I order many things and I tried them all on.
	And when I get something, I send all the rest back.
	He says, I don't have the note in front of me.
	I should have printed it out.
	He says that he says what he's saying is the quality of the products is so piss poor that he'll order six copies of the exact same Wrangler jeans that are exact same size and only one of them fits right.
	And he says the other five back.
	I confirm this.
	It's the same with Levi's.
	I've had that happen.
	Same size.
	And one comes from Vietnam, one comes from Thailand, and they're different.
	The same label on the inside, but different lengths because I need long for my legs, my long, luscious legs.
	Three different times in between the last show and this show, I heard people saying, I don't order from Amazon.
	Like, oh, I'm going to order that product.
	And it's like, I forget what the products were.
	I'm not ordering an Amazon.
	Why not?
	Because it's usually cheap knockoff junk from China.
	I'd rather go to the website of the vendor themselves.
	Same price.
	But I'd rather get it from them because I hate getting all the cheap knockoff junk from China.
	Three different people.
	There's a trend.
	There's a trend here.
	Something's up.
	Yes.
	Anyway.
	Anyway, he says I could write a book on customer returns, refunds, and what I'd prefer to do with them.
	We get the picture.
	Should I use a Sarah for Sans Serif font?
	Visit martellhardware.com.
	Use coupon code RestockFee for an additional 10% off your order.
	And he liked the hot pockets jingle.
	Hot pockets.
	All right, Matthew.
	Stefan, Stefan, I think it's Stefan.
	Stefan Anders.
	Yes, Stefan Anders and München Deutschland.
	Hello, Deutschland.
	Here's the Hoff.
	20260 sounds like something plus fees.
	No notes.
	So we'll give him a double up karma today.
	You've got.
	Karma.
	Sarcastic in why oh missing.
	Why oh missing?
	Pennsylvania, 20260, same amount.
	Happy New Year's donation.
	Jobs, karma, for my children.
	And shout out to the Ed's Tavern crew.
	Sarcastic the Nomad.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	And we have a familiar name coming in with $200.
	It's Sarah the Web Babe.
	And she says, ITM, and Happy New Year.
	While you two have been touting your unaffiliated bona fides or bona fides, producers who listen carefully will know that you have long been in the pocket of your mega donors.
	Big resume, big suburban mail order coffee, and big boob.

	We're sellouts.
	Which one's big boob?
	Archduke of Luna.

	Right, right, obviously.
	Big resume, Linda Lupatkin, big suburban mail order coffee.
	Eli, big boob.
	Hello.
	Do you do everything your big boob handlers tell you to?
	Why, yes.

	So three.
	Four.
	Here's mine.
	All reality.
	None of it's scripted.
	Yeah, I don't like it.
	I don't think it's all real.
	Okay, well, I'm mixing and matching.
	I got some real ones.
	Okay.

	Yes.
	At least try.
	I always do.

	We've got Incredible.

	Not bad.

	A little short.
	Okay.
	How about I'm trying to team with the other real ones?
	Try.
	Okay, let's just go from the top to the bottom.
	2026.
	Great show.
	Happy 2026.
	Usable.
	Fab.
	What a fab way to start the new year.
	Thanks, boys.
	It's condescending.
	What?
	Yeah, I found that to be very condescending.
	What a great man.
	What a fab way to start the new year.
	Thanks, boys.
	No, condescending.
	I don't like her.
	That show is better than sex.
	Okay, now you're talking.
	Now you're talking.
	But the mm was pretty pathetic.
	Like, really?
	That's her, like, better than thing.
	That show is better than sex.
	I'll just start it there.
	If I just start it there.
	I like the mm in there.
	I think you're wrong about this.
	You're wrong.
	All right.
	What's your last one?
	That was the last one, wasn't it?
	No, you have weird.
	Oh, okay.
	There's another weird.
	It's weird.
	It's weird.
	It's bizarre.
	It's not normal.
	Now, I think we'll do that.
	That show is better than sex.
	I really don't like that.
	Did you prompt it and say, sexy girl?
	No, I wrote it out.
	All right, everybody.
	It's time for the very first tip of the day for 2026.
	Green fast for you and me.
	Just the tip with JCD.
	And sometimes Adam.
	Okay, so this brings me to this.
	It has actually been discussed on the show before.
	It's not an official tip, but it is now.
	Philip J. Corso's book, The Day After Roswell.
	Yeah.
	Hasn't this been a tip of the day before?
	No, it's never been a tip of the days, but it's been discussed.
	And the reason I'm bringing in is to look it up.
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	It could be a repetitive tip.
	I've done this before, but I'm pretty sure this was brand new.
	And the reason I'm doing it is because of the new documentary on Netflix, which is called Netflix.
	I'm sorry, Amazon.
	I think Amazon has it.
	Amazon or Netflix, one of the two have it.
	It's called the Age of Discourse or the Age of Bullshit.
	No, it's the Age of Disclosure.
	Disclosure?
	Is it the Age of Disclosure?
	The Age of Disclosure.
	Yeah.
	So if you pay your subscription, you still have to pay 15 bucks to watch this thing.
	Wait, what's it called again?
	Age of Disclosure.
	No, I mean, Corso.
	The Day After Roswell.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I'm listening.
	So the reason I suggest the book is because you think they'd be talking about this book, which we've discussed extensively.
	They'd be talking about this book on this, the Age of Disclosure.
	The Age of Disclosure is supposed to break the mold.
	It's being banned.
	Nobody wants to see it, even though it's the most popular documentary ever posted on Netflix, I think, or Amazon, one of the two.
	They're making bank on this thing.
	And all it consists of is a bunch of people sitting down and saying, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	We're pretty sure that there's life outside there.
	I've seen this.
	Yep, I've seen some wreckage.
	And yeah, what about you?
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's some aliens there.
	We've seen them out there and they're coming in.
	We don't know what they mean, what they want.
	We don't know anything about it.
	But yeah, pretty sure.
	Pretty sure.
	What about you?
	Oh, you know, I saw some wreckage.
	It just, it's ridiculous.
	So just read this book.
	This book goes way deeper.
	It's much more interesting than this documentary.
	We have mentioned this book on 17 different episodes.
	Now make it 18.
	Talk about recycling content.
	I'm telling you.
	Oh, you're still on that.
	There he is, everybody.
	It's a tip of the day.
	Noahjunderfun.com, tipofeday.net.
	Christmas you and me with JCD and sometimes Adam.
	Created by Kenda Burden.
	Oops.
	Ow, that hurt.
	I didn't mean to do that.
	There's been a lot of engineering this past 30 minutes or more.
	Woo, everybody.
	How do we run so late?
	I don't know.
	We got the.
	We're supposed to be done at 2:30.
	I know.
	I don't know what happened.
	You know, it's because we love doing the show so much.
	We love giving people as much value as possible.
	How about that?
	Yeah, that's it.
	You got more importantly, we work on the holidays.
	Yeah, there you go.
	We may grouse at each other, but we still work on the holidays.
	Well, that's just because I'm grumpy.
	Yes, because you're sick.
	I'm grumpy.
	Go out with your Alex Jones voice.
	All right, everybody.
	We got excellent Anderson mixes.
	Right, right, they're all against the elites.
	They're gonna, it's all done by uh Silicon Valley AI.
	AI is all the Endershow mixes.
	And we got Darren and Larry the Planet Rage coming up next.
	Hey, those guys are good.
	Those guys are good boosters.
	Coming to you from Fredericksburg, Texas.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's raining, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We'll be back on Sunday.
	Join us here, won't you, for more media deconstruction?
	Until then, adios, mofos.
	A-hoo-ee-hoo-ee, and such.
	Let's say it again.
	I'm the champion of a where and why and when.
	From the very first second, I had the lead.
	You knew I was right before the proof was decreed.
	It's the general rule, the universal law.
	I saw the wind that you never saw.
	Hey, JC, I was right.
	Yes, I was right.
	The stars are aligned and I was right.
	It's a wonderful feeling, a glorious sight.
	Stand here and whisper, I was right.
	Say it high, say it low, say it mightily.
	I was right a lead.
	I'm not bragging, I'm just hey, John.
	Woo!
	Right, right, right, right, correct.
	You should have done that, that's medical doctor by training.
	We are on the brink of another global health crisis: the disinformation.
	Global health resilience initiative from me voter to polio.
	Because every square centimeter of our territory must be protected.
	One incident may be a mistake.
	Two incidents and four incidents.
	But three, five, ten.
	Grey zone campaign.
	Grey zone campaign.
	Too often I hear that Europe is late to the AI race.
	I strongly disagree.
	The AI rates is still warming up.
	Our eyes on the goal.
	As a medical doctor by training, gray zone campaign.
	Our eyes on the goal.
	As a medical doctor by training, gray zone campaign.
	Our eyes on the gold.
	We're staring at the screen with glaze over eye.
	Wallax and meta and tick-tock-checking dopamine high.
	It knows I like sugar, it knows I like salt.
	If I buy from Amazon, well, it isn't my fault.
	They're hacking my brain, no limit.
	Turning every little craving into gold they can find.
	My amygdala is shouting just one more click.
	While the billionaire's wallet is getting more and more thick.
	Oh, it's limbic capitalism.
	Producers, don't you see?
	They've got a direct wire to the lizard inside us.
	They're selling us the outrage, they're selling us the fear.
	And I'm paying with my focus till it all disappears.
	Gonna like it or no.
	Oh, it's limbic capitalism.
	Honey, don't you see?
	They've got a direct wire to the lizard inside me.
	They're selling me the outrage, they're selling me the fear.
	And I'm paying with my D4B till it all disappears.
	So put down the cookies and the doom-scrolling feet.
	Shut down the lizard, let logic take the lead.
	The no-agenda show is the antidote, my friend, to the capitalistic cravings that never seem to end.
