This is your award-winning Gibbon Media Assassination episode 1838.
This is no agenda.
Observing the ops 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, where I have to tell you, I'll be at the Oakland meetup this Saturday.
Thanks for asking.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Craig Bottombuck Hill.
In the morning.
Oh, man.
I was so close this morning.
To what?
To doing the show on Linux.
I was wondering.
I'm so close.
But when I sat down this morning to because I've been using it for the past couple of days, the production workflow for me, because I use Hindenburg Pro to do clips, using Audacity, what did they do to that program?
It's been slowly deteriorating.
They screwed it.
You have to have an old version.
I don't, I well, I didn't know there was an older.
I mean, I don't know if there's older versions available, but you can't scrub properly.
You know, because when I'm doing scrub.
So you have the clip and then you hit a key and then it plays forward and you can hit another key and it goes faster or you hit the shift key and it goes slower and then you can hit an in point and an out point and then X and then you cut it.
And I mean, I go super fast.
This was a factor.
Why is this called scrub?
Because it's analogous to the old scrubbing of the tapes across the head.
Like that.
Surely you've heard of this term, scrubbing?
No, never.
Oh.
So there was that.
And then, you know, Audacity just like, oh, I'm just going to crash.
Okay.
I can't.
So now I have to find something.
You just kind of crash.
Yeah.
It's like I'm just like your old buddy from college.
Exactly.
I'm just going to crash here.
I'm just not going to work.
And then, ah.
So I'm like, production-wise, I'm just not there.
The playout system is good.
I was ready to use that, but I just could not get into a production flow.
And I know everyone's going to tell me, oh, you should use Reaper.
Just run it on wine.
Okay.
Run on wine.
There you go.
That's what you should do.
So I've got to find if I don't have the right tools, then I can't do it.
But the playout system was working pretty well.
How close are you?
Well, I mean, it's really just fixing the recording and editing.
And I think I'll be there.
I think.
I don't know.
It's quite amazing.
Why do you have to do the recording?
You're not doing any recording and editing during the show.
No, but I mean, I might.
Oh, you want to switch completely over, so you only have to.
You don't want to even boot the no, exactly.
No, it's a separate.
This is a whole.
No, no, I don't want to be on the Windows box at all.
I want to.
I want to be free, man.
Libre.
I want to be free of the corporate overlords.
Well, I was mentioning that I'm going to be at the Oakland meetup, which should be at Violeta's in Oakland, the Pizza Place.
Yes.
On Saturday.
Well, that's related.
And so people should think about donating.
Oh, I see.
I'm sorry.
I'm thinking about Linux.
You're thinking about donating.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, there's two things going on at the same time.
Your little toying with your little computer is one thing.
But I did.
I think I did get the robot working.
Let me check.
Robot, are you there?
Can you hear me?
Are you working?
Yes, I'm here and working.
I can hear you very slowly.
Well, give her a break.
Okay.
Are you ready?
Are you on the Linux box?
Is that what you're talking to?
I'm always ready.
What's on your mind?
Are you on the Linux box?
Are you ready to go?
I'm in AI operating from the cloud.
And yes, I'm ready for whatever you need.
Okay.
Well, so whenever we need her, she's there now.
What happened to her in the meantime?
Was she gone?
She was on vacation.
She was dating the Grok A.
She sounds nicer.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I actually, I also tried to load that open source thing.
Yeah, that didn't work out so well.
Remember the open source version of 11 Labs?
Yeah, the one you were going on and on about.
Yeah, yeah.
I have not succeeded in getting that working yet.
You know, you get it all installed and says, I can't find the GPU.
Well, I don't have a GPU.
Oh.
Oh, well, okay.
And then we'll have to do some RAM and convert it to the CPU.
And I gave up.
But we'll get there.
We'll get there.
We'll get there.
I know you're disappointed because, you know, you just want to make your end of show ISOs with my bot.
I got you.
We'll get there.
Well, I'm not unhappy with the 11 labs, except it's so limiting.
You know, I can choose from five voices.
And then here's the other thing.
To swap, they have a library of thousands of voices.
But if you get the free version, you get to use five of them.
You get to use the dinky ones.
And you can swap them out.
Yeah.
But once you get your five voices and try to swap one of them out is like pulling teeth.
It's like, okay, well, I want to put this one.
Well, okay, well, it gives you a wrong screen and then you don't have the right sliders.
And what happened to my sliders?
And then it's like one thing after another.
It's amazing.
This AI stuff is so.
And now everyone's sending me this.
You got to try this Claude bot, Claude bot, man.
You got to get a Claude bot.
So a Claude bot, apparently, is an open source program that you run on a computer.
Just run it on any computer.
Yeah, no, the guys that you're portraying here are very familiar to me.
Oh, yes.
Do you know them?
Just do this.
Just do that.
Oh, why don't you do this?
It's just so easy.
It'll work.
No problem.
You know, the Claude bot.
And so you can tell the claude, it'll be like your friend.
And your Claude bot will do all the stuff.
Claude is already too much of a friend.
Well, this is C-L-A-W-D, Claude.
Oh, another Claude.
Oh, we got Claude and Claude.
Well, the Claude bot communicates with your other AI accounts.
And then it puts a really friendly face on it.
And you can say, hey, you know, make a reply to this email.
Can you imagine?
Can you imagine how that's going to work out?
And, well, yeah, you use this.
You know, you might need a $200 a month account, but you're going to love it.
I don't think so.
$200 a month?
Yeah.
Because of the amount of cycles that a month?
Yes.
Yes.
You want the program.
$2,400 a year so you can have something do a crappy email.
I can get that.
That you could be far easier.
You could do it yourself.
You could hire somebody for $2,400.
A couple of $20,000.
$24,000 a year.
I can hire somebody.
$2,400.
Lois, can you quickly have a lot of time?
King Trump's Private Army00:03:05
Hello, hello.
$2,400.
$400.
It would be great.
It's $2,400, not $24,000.
Oh, I'm sorry, Royal.
But I think we can get some somalis for that.
No problem.
$2,400.
I can still get an Indian.
I can have it done remotely.
I can have two Indians.
Welcome to Indians working in Bombay for 2400.
Welcome to the Racist No Agenda Show, everybody.
And by the way, John, I appreciate it.
Racist, I'm going with globalism.
I appreciate you, neighbor.
This is the new thing now in Minneapolis.
When you're out there protesting.
Hey, neighbor, I appreciate you, neighbor.
I appreciate you being here.
I noticed this because there was your not my buddy.
I got no buddies.
It's true.
I'm trying to be nice.
Your buddy James O'Keefe, who almost got killed.
Oh, they got a threat.
He didn't almost get killed.
Well, it was cute.
It was cute.
But whatever the case was, he was being called neighbor.
And I could see you could see that it's going on some sort of code.
Yeah, oh, yeah.
It's what used to be comrade.
Now we just say neighbor.
Yeah, exactly.
Wow.
Hello.
I caught that one.
I caught that one right away.
Yeah, you're right.
Exactly.
Comrade.
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Hey, Comrade.
And well, Comrade Bruce is all over this.
I don't know if you heard it yet, but here's a quickie report.
More than 30 years after Bruce Springsteen won an Oscar for his song Streets of Philadelphia, he has written a version called Streets of Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, I hear your voice.
Springsteen says it's dedicated to, quote, the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors, and in memory of Alex Predty and Renee Good.
Pretty good.
You got to listen to a little bit of this song because even just the first.
When did he become a communist?
Oh, once he met Patty Skalfa, as far as I'm concerned.
Listen to this.
You just got to listen to the first verse.
Yeah, flame fought fire and ice Neath an occupier's boots King Trump's private army from the DA Trump?
King from...
King Trump's private army.
Trump.
Yeah, King Trump's private army.
Listen again.
This is great.
City of Flame fought fire and dice.
Neither occupier's boots.
King Trump's private army from the DHS.
Guns belted to the coast.
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law.
For so their story goes.
Oh, brother.
I've been smoking.
You know, this is the worst thing that I think he could have done.
He was already kind of out of just off the reservation.
He's living in Los Angeles still, I think.
That's what happened to him.
No offense, Angelinos.
Is that where he's living?
Three by Three Teasers00:04:30
Yeah, I believe so.
I think he moved to Los Angeles like 10 years ago.
He's the guy from Jersey.
Why would a guy from Jersey move to Los Angeles?
Because all the cool people are there, man.
That's where you hang.
Hey, you know what?
He might even do an appearance on the Grammys this Sunday.
Wouldn't that be great?
I hope he sings that song.
Yeah, me too.
Me too.
Absolutely.
I don't think they'd let him.
Yeah.
Oh, are you kidding?
Of course they will.
Well, you know, I don't know because the way it's, if you're having the meeting, it's like, well, can we go that far?
You think, well, first fuck Trump.
Well, yeah, but can we go that far?
Maybe it's a little too much.
I can see him backing off of it.
It's on CBS, I think, isn't it?
Is it CBS?
Oh, CBS has lost control.
Oh, hold on.
Oh, let's bring me.
Wait, let's see if the robot knows.
Hold on a second.
What network does the Grammy Awards air on this weekend?
The Grammy Awards are typically broadcast on CBS.
That didn't tell us the answer.
That's not an answer.
Stupid robot.
Yeah.
Wow.
That brings me to a three by three.
Oh, everybody, here we go.
For three by three.
Are you ready?
Experiment by JCD.
One list compared to stories from the ABC, CBS, and MBC.
The never-ending combat.
That's right.
We got the top three news networks.
We got.
Do you have that new guy?
The new guy on the CBS?
Docapol.
Is that his name?
Docapol?
Docapol.
So he, so, so these, I used to do this, if you remember about five, six years ago, I used to do these every so often.
The three, this is the three or three of the openers.
Oh, yes.
The lively teasing openers.
Yes, with nat pops and all kinds of groovy stuff.
Yeah, they got it.
They got the whole thing.
Yeah.
Well, I got the three networks openers from yesterday.
It's all the news stories that they think is important.
They don't talk about it.
I got an Iraq clip that's nobody's reporting on that came from NTD.
I got a bunch of clips on today's shows.
None of them will be in these teasers.
No.
But I'm going to explain what you're going to hear.
There's, and you can look at the length of each of the teasers.
Yeah, I'm looking.
NBC is the longest, CBS is the shortest, and ABC is right in the middle.
Right.
And that's, and the quality matches that.
What, the longer, the lower the quality?
No, the longer, the better the quality, the what the higher production values.
Okay.
The long two-minute tease, which is what it is.
Yeah.
But NBC is well produced.
You know, you got NBC Universal.
They got their Hollywood people doing, you know, they get the show biz pizzazz.
I'm telling you the story in advance official term, the show biz, pizzazz.
Yes.
Showbit biz pizzazz.
You don't know what scrub means, but you know pizzazz.
Okay.
Pizzazz.
Pizzazz, baby.
Yeah.
And so I also know the word bilato.
Yes, we know.
I know that word too.
Yeah, you would.
So you have that, and then you have CBS.
I'm sorry.
Then ABC came in second.
It's not as good.
It doesn't have as much pizzazz.
It doesn't have as much production value.
They're kind of, but they do have Disney behind them.
So there is some show biz pizzaz.
But but they're phoning it in.
Okay, so who do we speak?
They just don't really have.
And then, and then last, they're sabotaging this show.
ABC?
CBS is last.
Oh, okay.
No, so ABC is faxing it in, but it's still got a little zing.
But CBS is there's nothing.
They don't have, it's just not even, they're not even trying.
Paramount either doesn't want to know what they're doing or they're, or they, I think it's the staff of CBS News.
I think CBS News organization is sabotaging their shows so they can embarrass Barrison and Barry Barry Weiss.
And Barry Weiss, yes.
So we'll start with the best one, which is a real teaser, a genuine old-fashioned tease that gets you into the news.
In the mood.
In the mood.
In the mood, yeah.
All right.
NBC.

Nightly news starts right now.
Wow.
Wow.
NBC nightly news with Tom Yamas.
We're all gonna die.
I mean, they saved me at the end with the puppy story.
That is classic.
Could not be any better.
You do dynamite.
We're all gonna die.
Airplanes are crashing.
Your pipes are bursting.
Predty was a horrible man 11 days before, but puppies got saved.
I'm telling you, in America, puppies rule the roost.
That's why we have the sad puppy.
Puppies are good.
Puppies are good.
So you heard the best of the best, and NBC nails it.
I mean, if you're not glued to the set after that, you don't know what you're doing.
I'm pissed I missed it.
I can't believe I didn't watch Tom Yamas give me the puppy story.
This is great stuff.
So Tom Yamas wins the award for best of the best.
And by the way, the tension music is good.
The tension music is dynamite.
It's well produced.
This is the way you're.
If you're going to do this on network television, you might as well do it right.
Yeah, I agree.
That's how you do it.
Yes.
Okay.
So now.
I feel all jacked up now.
Yeah, well, you're not going to feel that way for much longer.
Okay.
So we're going to go to David Muir and Faxing It and they have the right idea, but they don't have the energy.
David Muir seems like he's ready to quit the business.
I mean, the whole thing, he's not like Tom Yamas, who's all jacked up.
And it's like a watered-down.
I don't know.
What else do we want to talk about here?
David Muir is too busy primping and looking at his muscles, making sure his t-shirt is a terrible primper.
We know that.
Here we go.

I'm hot.
NBC News, World Headquarters, in New York.
This is World News Tonight with David Muir.
This must still work.
I mean, otherwise, they wouldn't be doing it.
And it's like, I mean, we all there's the enthusiasm.
They had the one good story in there.
Besides, why were they talking about the coach?
So what?
But the one good story, they did have a picture of this hillside that's collapsing with all these homes right on the edge of falling over a cliff.
But very, but very, no nat pops.
There was no, I heard a lot of people.
No nat pops.
No dogs.
Well, they did have Bruce Willis in there.
So there's yours.
Bruce, but that's kind of cringy.
That's your sad puppy story.
That's your sad puppy story.
Yeah, but it's cringy.
And people watch this.
Do people watch this?
I thought there would feel bad.
John, do people watch this still?
Do they still watch these?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, there's tens of millions.
Oh, my God.
So, okay, so that was compared to NBC that stinks.
But let's go to the real clinker.
This is a piece of crap.
It's short.
It's only, it's like, it's half the length of the NBC one, and it's boring.
They have no, their heart's not in it at all.
But I think this is sabotage.
They're sabotaging CBS News.
Good to be with you.
I'm Tony DeCopo.
The breaking news right now.
Another winter storm on the way.
When and where it will hit, and the dangerous cold snap that just won't quit.

Also, President Trump promotes the new so-called Trump accounts for kids.
We're giving them ownership of America's future.
No.
The U.S. government will kick in the first thousand dollars.
Who else can contribute and how much?
Kelly O'Grady tonight on what you need to know.
I'm not a scientist.
I'm moving on to some tonight.
T-E-A-M as in team.
And the Hall of Fame mystery, outrage and confusion as former Patriots coach Bill Belichick is snubbed by the NFL Hall of Fame.
Someone, anyone, explain it to me from CBS News headquarters in New York.
This is the CBS evening news with Tony DeCopo.
Now, the first thing I'd do if we were consultants, get rid of that voice at the end.
No, I think a sexy female voice at the end would be cool.
Anything that rather why don't they use female voices for that particular intro?
Because they're mistaken.
There's a number of voiceover women out there who have these, they hate women.
They hate women.
Barry Weiss.
Yeah.
Well, she's running the place.
But there's a number of female voiceover women out there that have terrific voices.
I mean, they're just fabulous and they're not exploited.
Enough.
Enough.
They're not.
And they should be.
And they would appreciate the work, believe me.
So that ends.
That's no puppy story.
There's no good news story.
They end on the sour thing about the coach.
You notice NBC didn't even put the coach story in there.
And even I got the coach story.
I'm like, oh, I got sports ball news.
Here's something I kind of understand.
Yeah, it's easy enough to understand, but it's not like teaseworthy, it seems to me.
I mean, every and anyone who's a sports fan, no, here's the problem.
Anyone who's a sports fan is all over this.
Well, it's about the prop bets.
Yeah, and they're all over it.
Everyone who's a sports fan, believe me, including myself, we know everything there is to know about this particular situation.
I didn't know from every perspective already.
So you have a problem not just with the presentation, but the editorial is below par.
Well, that was just the presentation of the tease.
Yeah.
The fact that they're teasing a story about this coach about Belichick should not be in the tease line.
I mean, the ones that NBC did, they didn't do it because it's not teasing because nobody's going to, oh, what?
I got to hear that.
No one's going to, no one's drawn to that story if you're a sports fan that who would be drawn to the story because you already know the story.
I'm with you.
Activated People Demand Change00:04:36
Yeah.
They could have thrown the snowplow in front of the ambulance in there.
That's a good story.
There's a bunch of good stuff they could have.
And CBS had very little extra material.
It was just lame.
Well, local news.
So the point is that this is what's going on.
NBC is going to dominate the situation in the future if this continues.
Local news from Fredericksburg.
Once we could finally get out of our homes, we could not go to the only supermarket we have here, HEB, because the ceiling was about to collapse.
Was bulging down.
Oh, yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
And then, and so now on the text groups, you know, this ice storm was not an accident.
It was done on purpose.
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
I'm like, okay, for what reason?
Yeah, what's the reason?
What's the reason?
It's like, so Minneapolis.
So Minneapolis, let's just talk about this for a moment.
So everywhere, everybody's talking about, well, I was a Green Beret and we used these exact same tactics in Fallujah.
And we did this in the Maidan.
This is not a color revolution.
This is what everyone's saying.
No, this is the same group that did Black Lives Matter in Minneapolis, George Floyd.
There may be one or two new nonprofits.
They're not NGOs.
Everyone's NGOs.
No, there's some nonprofits.
They're well-funded.
It comes from different government pots.
National Endowment for Democracy is the one who just got refunded, which is, I think, a mistake.
But everyone's talking about color revolution.
Yeah, I noticed.
It's not a color revolution.
You can't do a color revolution in America that easily.
It's just not going to happen.
It's Minneapolis.
Minneapolis has, they've activated people.
And man, they have activated people.
And it's, it's, it's painful to watch.
Yeah, I want you to talk about that, but before you veer off of the ice storm story, which you just did, I was done.
There's a big thaw coming tomorrow in your neck of the woods, I understand.
It's going to be like 55 or something.
Oh, no, we're going up to 80.
We get our swim trunks ready.
I'm going back into the pool.
So is it icy now?
No, no.
It's already thawing out.
It was thawing out Tuesday.
We couldn't get down our driveway Tuesday because on the back side of the house, so we would have just slid all the way.
You were frozen in Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
That's it.
Three days, which is what I predicted by the way.
Saturday, Sunday, four days, really.
Okay, four days.
Well, that's a lot.
Yeah, man.
I love my wife.
It's easy.
We had a good time.
And the dog liked the cold weather, I guess.
Oh, this dog loves this.
This is like her culture.
She, let me go out.
Let me go jump around.
But it wasn't all, it was not all that bad.
It was, and you know, I talked to my buddy, the sheriff, lieutenant, you know, the former Kerrville cop with anger management issues.
Like a cop with anger management issues.
He's now the lieutenant.
Yes, sir.
What else do you want?
He's the lieutenant at the sheriff's office.
No God.
No, because I said, you know, I said it's not that bad.
We did have two tractor trailers, Jackknife, tip over on 87, which is a real problem for traffic.
But no, everything was relatively calm.
I was pleasantly surprised.
You know, we kept it all together.
And, you know, never lost your power.
I never lost power once.
Some friends of ours went out for about an hour.
You would have if you hadn't bought that generator.
Oh, then it would have been freezing.
The generac saved the day by not letting the power go.
But that's also CTEC.
They did a lot of, that's our co-op electric company.
They did a lot of upgrades a couple months ago.
So I think they got smart.
It's a co-op, of course.
It's not like, you know, some government things.
This is owned by the people, man.
The people demand better service, and we got it.
So I'm very happy.
That was good.
Anything else about this?
No, I just wanted to get everyone up to speed.
Yeah.
But the thing, the thing that is just everything now is the government did.
Yeah, the government did this.
Yeah.
This is not on accident.
But why?
Why did they do this?
Well, it just did.
But you can see.
Government Mess00:03:25
Because they're messing with you, man.
Yeah, they're messing with you.
I am getting so old and jaded like you.
It's not funny anymore.
Like, I can't get it.
I can't get.
I think it's funny.
So you can't be getting like me.
I can't get into the conspiracies like I used to.
I'm just like, no.
Oh, yeah, this is true.
And this is ruined.
This is bad.
It's ruining the show.
Yeah.
It's hurting the show.
It has, I genuinely believe it's hurt the show as just as the bomb cyclone is going to hurt donations, which is why I'm going to Oakland.
I'll be at the bring your envelopes.
I'm going to bring Jay's books to give the violin.
Like he said, bride at a Jewish wedding.
Stick those envelopes on the back on his back.
Come on, people.
Hook him up.
Hook him up.
Do your best.
Exactly.
And last night we had dinner with some friends, like an early dinner, AARP time, you know, five o'clock.
And like at Friedhelm's, man, it's the best.
It's great.
That's our Bavarian Bavaria.
I hear that the fried catfish is phenomenal.
It's just yes, it is.
Fried catfish is a fabulous dish.
I try to cook it every so often when I have enough fry when I feel like loading up the frying oil because it makes a mess.
The frying oil is hard to reuse and you get a bunch of grime all over the.
It's a messy thing to cook but fry.
But catfish is perfect.
It's just an amazingly delicious product fried, deep fat fried yes, with batter.
Yep, very good.
So you know.
And then it's like okay um, tell me about crisis actors.
I'm like uh, was that?
Was that guy a crisis actor?
Did he really get killed?
I say yeah, he's really dead, believe me, he's really dead.
Yeah, but you know that he showed up at five o'clock.
These are people who agitate and or they get activated to agitate.
It happens all the time.
You know it's like hey look, I can't explain the astronauts from the challenger who show up everywhere and you're looking the same with the same name.
I don't know what that's about, but crisis actors i've I have to withdraw a little bit from that.
And um, you know everyone's like but the.
You know they got 16 million dollars from the, from the government, and yeah, to back you up on this.
Uh, people who are totally into this kind of thinking do a lot of homework, they spend a lot of time online and if, if there are crisis actors involved, they have documented it, there will be pictures of, oh, this woman is here, she's here, she's there, she's here.
And there's a number of them that have been documented.
Yep, but if they're not documented because we know there's enough people out there to do the documentation, then we have to assume they're not crisis actors.
No, and also, you know, it's like there's another Adam Curry out there and I keep getting emails inviting me to speak at these conferences.
What is he known for?
He's known for uh, for um, aliens and uh, zero.
I think someone stolen my old identity, I think it's, you know and for zero point energy.
And these are big conferences too, really big.
Blasting And Assault00:15:07
And like hey, it was good seeing you.
And i'm like I don't know why they're emailing me.
I mean, I can understand Adamcurry.com telling me, you do that, you do this speech for 50 000, 12.
This is my new exit strategy by Dvorak.
I'm gonna go talk about aliens for 12 grand, talking about alias, and they're gonna say, you look a little different than when I met you at the other side.
I didn't notice that the first time around.
Someone emailed me said, do you know that you're actually neurodivergent?
Say yes, is there money in it for me?
Is there some grant I can get for being neurodivergent.
No okay, then I just it used to be called a tick, then it became tourettes and now it's neurodivergent.
I don't, I don't need to uh, I don't need, I don't need any help.
Um so anyway, what's happening in Minneapolis is not a color revolution and people, it's just.
No, it's not.
It is some people who are very very, very confused uh, about the law about uh, the restrictions of the first amendment, about responsibility of yourself.
If you want to film somebody or if you want to carry a gun.
You know this.
You have to actually be, be more restrictive of yourself.
If you're carrying a weapon legally.
There's all kinds of stuff that you know it's.
It's like people have taken the stupid pill.
It's really quite amazing and everyone's so jacked up about it.
It's like, yeah, this is really bad, but we saw this already.
And this is kind of tame compared to BLM.
Oh, yeah, it's very tame.
BLM was much, much worse, but it's the same.
And it was all over the country.
Yeah.
And that and that color revolution didn't work either.
And actually, this is, let me see, I have this here.
Let me see.
Well, it did work for the women who collected all those dough and bought a bunch of property.
Oh, well, yes, yes.
The BLM ladies.
That's true.
That's true.
Let me see.
I had where is this?
What is this under?
Oh, yeah.
I've got it here.
So two clips I'm going to play.
The first one is, yeah.
So do you remember Molly Ringwald, the actress?
Yeah, Molly Ringwald, the red-headed actress.
Yeah.
So now she wears a do-rag.
And she's wearing a do-rag.
She doesn't do this very often, but I do.
And this is a narrative.
So I'm just going to lay out the narrative so you can understand what people are doing.
And, you know, we might even discuss, you know, this, we had this great article you and I were reading about how this all started with phones, particularly with women.
Really has really, really has affected women.
It goes far beyond phones.
I mean, it's algorithms, it's fashion, it's all of entertainment.
But this is the result of it.
I don't spend a lot of time doing this, talking to you like this, unless I'm, I don't know, recommending a foundation or telling you to.
I guess she does a lot of makeup videos.
She's selling makeup now, Molly Ringwald.
So unless she's recommending a foundation.
Or telling you to get your kids vaccinated against meningitis.
But I feel like I can't stay silent, and neither should you.
There's something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now.
And we have one of the greatest countries had, one of the greatest countries in the world.
And I've always been so proud to be an American.
But right now, this is a fascist government.
It's not becoming a fascist government.
It is a fascist government.
And ICE is brutalizing people.
And I don't care how you identify, if you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you're Independent, if you don't like to be political at all, it doesn't matter.
You have to look at what kind of country you want to live in.
And I don't think that I need to remind you, you know, I'll just give a little history lesson here quick, but if you look at what happened in France, where I lived for, you know, a few years in my 20s, you know, they were taken over by the Nazis.
They were invaded.
They were taking over.
And a lot of people, a lot of people collaborated.
And then there were people that did not collaborate and were part of the resistance.
Eventually, they got their country back.
And those people who collaborated were found to be criminal.
Aha.
So here's where the narrative back you up a little more on this.
I don't have clips, but I will tell you that I could have had clip after clip after clip of not anyone of her status.
Oh, no, she's not famous anymore, but her makeup skills.
But just a bunch of these ladies on the screaming at the TikTok, all threatening.
Yes.
They're threatening everybody who voted for Trump basically with the same theme.
Well, she's saying something a little different.
She's saying the collaborators were found guilty.
Yeah, this is no, this is what they're all saying.
Okay, well, so now let's go to my favorite hate listen.
Just short, short, short, so I won't torture you too.
There was a clip I wanted to get from this.
Well, here it is.
I know this is the clip you want.
This is Pivot, Scott and Kara.
What I'm suggesting is, and again, I've struggled with this my whole life, the difference between being right and being effective.
And we're angry, and I get it, protesting is powerful.
Promising them that there will be an accountability.
And I've said this, I think there should be something equivalent to the Nuremberg trials.
Actually, this is all over.
And to make it clear that once we're back in power, which we will be, this is going to happen.
And the statute of limitations on murder is never.
Nuremberg trials.
There you go.
Yeah, this guy, by the way, lives in London.
Yeah, he does.
Most of the time.
Here is a Democrat candidate for Ohio Attorney General.
Oh, this is a guy.
Yeah, Elliot Forhan.
Here we go.
Yeah, I'm glad.
You know, you're taking all the clips I wished I had made.
You got to get it up early, man.
No, it's not about that.
The reason was once I filled my clip list, I stopped.
You're done.
Yes.
You're like CBS.
Like, man, it's done.
I don't need the puppy story.
Not on that.
No, not that.
More like ABC.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
All right.
This is Elliot Forhan, candidate for Ohio Attorney General.
I want to tell you what I mean when I say that I am going to kill Donald Trump.
I mean, I'm going to obtain a conviction rendered by a jury of his peers at a standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt based on evidence presented at a trial conducted in accordance with the requirements of due process, resulting in a sentence duly executed of capital punishment.
That is what I mean when I say that I'm going to kill Donald Trump.
I'm going to kill him.
Yeah.
That's borderline, I think, to say that.
I think it's beyond borderline.
I think it's illegal.
I think they should arrest this guy immediately.
He said that what he said is illegal.
Well, he qualified it that he was going to.
Qualified doesn't mean anything.
Oh, I qualified it.
Oh, I'm just joking.
Let me tell you what I let me tell you a scenario that could happen here, and I'll pay anybody to do it, but I'm just joking.
No, no, this is you can that's not an excuse for there's a statutes about this.
You cannot do this.
This guy should be arrested by the Secret Service immediately.
And killed.
Well, I mean, that would be ideally, but no.
Hey, I appreciate you, neighbor.
This, so the violent threats against lawmakers is happening more and more here.
Scott McFarlane, to explain.
Police tell CBS News Congresswoman Ilhan Omar has recently been the victim of a particularly large number of threats.
President Trump has fixated on her, blasting her regularly, including in these remarks in Iowa.
What kind of news reporting in this?
Blasting her with a super soaker?
I mean, can we use a different, what's the verb, maybe?
It's just criticizing, I would think, which would be more accurate.
Yeah, but no.
Because what is blasting?
Blasting has that's the problem.
This is what we're supposed to do: deconstruct these things.
This is what we're doing.
Blasting has intonate or it has a lot of double meaning.
It's got meanings, other meanings than just, and it's not, it's not journalistic.
No.
No, that's.
Thank you.
That's my point.
But this is CBS Evening News blasting.
President Trump has fixated on her, blasting her regularly, including in these remarks in Iowa, just hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love our country.
This is tricky what they do, but this is very tricky.
So he said something just hours before the assault, which to me is insinuating Trump motivated someone to do something.
You're right.
Blasting her regularly, including in these remarks in Iowa, just hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love our country.
I have to be proud.
Blasting her.
Not like Ilhan Omar.
Trump later claimed, where's the blast?
Where's the blast?
Where's the blast?
That's a blast.
Parks in Iowa, just hours before last night's assault.
They have to show that they can love our country.
I have to be proud.
Not like Ilhan Omar.
Trump later claimed, without evidence, Omar without evidence.
Conspiracy theory Trump's supporters have since latched onto.
Let's see what he said.
Michael Sullivan.
No, he didn't say it.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief.
We are confident this actually was a criminal act because there's a lot of conspiracy theories about this being staged.
I've received no information that indicates that.
The assault on Omar comes amid a growing wave of threats against members of Congress.
I don't care who does the attacking or the disrupting.
That's wrong, and it's also illegal.
The U.S. Capitol Police launched nearly 15,000 threat investigations last year, 5,000 more than the year before, including just days ago when Florida Democrat Maxwell Frost says he was punched in the face while at an event in Utah.
And former Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the subject of scorn from Trump, says she received a death threat on the day she resigned.
Again, insinuating Trump is responsible.
Yes, clear insinuation.
Yeah.
Sharp an increase.
Tempo and pinching.
And by the way, stop.
It was a clear insinuation when, in fact, Marjorie Taylor Greene was always a loose cannon that was attracting these sorts of weirdos that would hate on her.
And you love Trump.
With or without Trump being on when even when she was on Trump's side and they were buddies, this was going on.
Just the fact that we're even doing this breakdown of this news report means that I'll be getting emails.
Oh, man, you're a Trump fanboy.
When you skip his ass more, man.
Yeah, you received it.
And you deserve it.
I know.
Death threat on the day she resigned.
To what do you attribute that?
At sharp an increase.
Tempo and pace of events that evoke strong emotion.
I don't know that I've seen anything like it in my 30 years in law enforcement.
And Scott, I understand you're following some additional breaking news tonight out of Georgia.
The FBI is searching the Fulton County Election Office.
What do we know about that?
Yeah, local officials in Atlanta say the search is related to the 2020 election results.
The county clerk's office has possession of the 2020 ballots, and that's where the FBI agents were seen.
Tony, President Trump continues to make baseless claims about winning Georgia in 2020.
Very interesting that you catch that because why don't they just say claims?
Well, no, that is that is the that is the memo went out and it's just all baseless here.
Witness the CNN report of this with some hokey music, of course.
So we are learning more details about what is going on down in Fulton County where we have learned that the FBI is serving a search warrant at the county's election offices.
The FBI confirming this is connected to an ongoing investigation and a source tells CNN that this is part of an effort by the Justice Department to seize election records and allegations of a voter fraud back in the 2020 election.
Now, the Atlanta metro area has been a centerpiece of President Trump's baseless allegations that Was stolen from him.
Another important piece of context here is that in the first Trump administration, when he first started making these claims, his Justice Department, then led by Bill Barr, looked into this and didn't find enough evidence to pursue a full-blown investigation.
The Justice Department has sued the county to try to get these records.
That litigation is ongoing.
So it is notable that now they have gone to a judge and gotten a search warrant to pursue these records.
So I know I know a business guy in Florida who has funded a lot of people looking into Georgia.
I think they've got something.
I really do.
Well, here's what I agree with you, and I think it goes this way.
They've already done the investigation to a point, and then somebody, a whistleblower, somebody behind the scenes says, did you guys ever look at this and this and this?
Because this is really what they're doing.
They're not doing what you think.
They did this.
Yes.
I mean, for example, they have this kind of corruption up in up in Washington State, and Mimi's political, so she's gone on to some of it.
Mimi political?
What?
Yeah, she is.
And so she found that how they're rigging their elections is they have, it's all mail in in Washington State, so it's very easily corruptible.
And they take teams of people that go to all the sanitariums and old folks' homes and all they just teams and teams.
This way, oh, the older people are, they vote more.
Mail-In Ballot Scam00:05:00
Yes, no.
Sign here.
They're in nursing homes and a team of people go in there with their bat with ballots and they have them sign them and they pre-filled out.
Okay, what I should do?
I'll sign it.
Is it okay?
And so they sign off on all these, then they bring in hundreds and thousands and maybe tens of thousands of votes, just enough to flip things.
And there's something in Georgia that took place that's similar to this kind of scam, which is what it is.
And it's like the kind of thing I remember hearing about when I was in high school and they were bitching about the South and how the Democrats would go door to door to black people's house and make them sign ballots.
And it's very, and then they stuff them in the ballot box.
This has been going on forever.
This is corruption and it has to be rooted out.
Yes.
I think they're going to this they will actually do something.
I think that's happening.
I think, oh, I have another guy.
Let me just say with ICE for a second, because now, and the prop bets are in, by the way.
Yeah, you can get your prop bet in if the government's going to partially shut down on Saturday.
But there's something really stupid with what the Democrats are doing.
In fact, Chuck Schumer specifically in the Senate about this shutdown.
Here's a, this is just a report to get us into the mood.
After initial hopes of a bipartisan compromise to approve government spending, a partial U.S. government shutdown is looking more and more likely.
Democratic senators say they will not approve a budget bill for the Department of Homeland Security after federal agents that it employs fatally shot a second U.S. citizen in Minneapolis over the weekend.
The DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE.
I will vote no.
Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.
The DHS spending bill is part of a larger package that outlines funding for other government agencies.
Republicans will need some Democratic support to pass it before existing funding expires on January 31st.
Catherine Cortez-Masto, the Democratic senator from Nevada and one of the possible swing voters, said she would not support the legislation without changes to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, is operated.
Meanwhile, Washington Senator Patty Murray, who had been pushing her colleagues to vote for the spending package, reversed her stance, saying federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.
She also called for the DHS budget bill to be split off from the larger funding package, in which $64.4 billion is appropriated for Homeland Security, including $10 billion for ICE.
However, even splitting off this segment wouldn't avoid a shutdown for sure.
The House, which is currently on recess, would have to return to pass the funding package if it's changed and then send the legislation back to the Senate for approval before the January 31st deadline.
Okay, so she doesn't get it entirely right in this report.
And here's the problem.
You know, we have people who work at DHS.
And interestingly enough, one of the guys who shot Predi was Customs and Border Patrol.
He wasn't even ICE.
But the so-called one big beautiful bill has a separate approach, this passed, done, has a separate appropriation for $75 billion for ICE specifically.
This mini-bus, as they're calling it, even though it's huge.
You know, if they, even if they ripped it up right now, the $75 billion for ICE is already inappropriated, et cetera.
The crazy thing is that what this mini-bus does is they want to, if they would pass it, it would set the annual ICE operating budget at $10 billion.
So right now they could take $35 billion, $50 billion, whatever they want.
This bill that they now want to stop would actually mandate body cameras.
They are, in fact, trying to stop something that gives them more oversight over ICE, but will never defund ICE.
So it's just a political mind game that they're playing.
It has nothing to do with ICE at all.
It's just all hate Trump.
Even the protests.
I don't hear anybody talking about immigrants.
All I hear is ICE, ICE.
It's all about ICE.
And just whenever you hear ICE, think Trump.
That's it.
All these people who were saying they, you know, the Gestapo, it's just Gestapo.
It's all about Trump.
They really just hate the guy.
It's not even really as much about Trump as it is 2016.
Influencers and Cottage Cheese00:14:44
Well, that's what I mean.
2026 midterms.
Yeah, well, you heard Scott there from Pivot.
Once we get back in power and we will.
Those words should scare you when someone talks like that.
Okay, so you mean if you win the midterm elections, if your party wins the midterm elections, he equates that to when we get back in power and we will, we're going to hang you.
Nuremberg trials.
Who's the crazy person?
He.
Yes.
Yes.
That to me is more frightening than anything.
But the, you know, but going back to Molly Ringwald.
Yes.
That is so pathetic.
That is a person who's got serious issues.
She should really be in a facility.
Well, she's selling makeup on Instagram.
You know, so, you know, I can understand.
And even if you just look at Instagram, there's all these.
It's so sad to see people who I guess they make money as being influencers with lots of followers.
And, you know, some of them do cooking tips.
John, you know them.
You know, put some cheese on it.
Tina tried to make something from Instagram.
She did.
I do a little detour.
She says, I'm going to try this cottage cheese pizza crust.
Oh, I bet.
She says, hmm, didn't turn out the way it looked on Instagram.
I said, no, of course not.
It's cottage cheese.
She ate it, though.
I'll give her that.
I'll give her that.
So people who are on Instagram who have, you know, they have their followers for whatever they do, woodworking, you know, leather stuff, you know, leather, you know, stitching.
Yeah, needlework.
Needlework.
They're all being forced.
This is your audience capture.
They're all being forced.
Well, you have to take a stand.
You got to say something.
I'm unfollowing you.
And then, of course, they take a stand like, yes, this is horrible.
I'm against this.
And then, you know, it's like people are like, I'm not following you for a political opinion.
I'm following you for the cottage cheese crust.
It's like, no.
It's just big no.
No, no, no.
Now, on the other hand, this is a possible exit strategy for us.
I was quite interested by this.
Although we don't do video, this is our ever, our ever-enduring problem.
We really have to do video because there's money in there.
There's money in doing video and being an influencer.
I caught this on Planet Money on NPR, which has turned into some kind of vocal fry up talk fest.
I don't remember.
It was terrible.
The show.
I can't even watch it anymore.
No, you don't watch it.
Listen to it.
Yeah.
So here's their report.
All right.
So my indicator of the week is $100 million.
That is how much the Trump administration has set aside to spend on a one-year so-called wartime recruitment strategy to hire more immigration and customs enforcement workers.
So this is all according to a document that the Washington Post got a hold of.
It says that immigration officials plan to flood the market with millions of dollars worth of social media ads and to pay pro-ICE social media influencers and other online creators to normalize and humanize careers at ICE through storytelling and lived businesses.
Yeah, storytelling.
That's quote.
Well, they're already making these, right?
I mean, I've seen footage of videographers trailing after agents and then they put together these slick videos and post them on social media.
So I think some of it's already happening, right?
The Washington Post couldn't confirm whether this strategy has been implemented or how much of this strategy, but it certainly seems to coincide with ads and ad campaigns and social media content that we're seeing online.
Apparently, at least $8 million of the $100 million is supposed to be spent on this influencer program.
They say that they are particularly interested in veterans, former agents, and pro-ICE creators.
And like the idea behind recruiting influencers, according to this document, is to build trust through authentic peer-to-peer messaging.
So they want to reach people with like a big Gen Z and Millennial following and apparently also people who are tactical lifestyle enthusiasts.
Woo, that's us.
Tactical lifestyle enthusiasts.
That's us?
It's $100 million they've got for this.
Well, that's 92, 92 million.
They already spent eight.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So there's 92 left in the pot.
Let's see if we can do it.
There are some deliverables.
We have to do the right thing.
Deliverables.
Now we're getting back to the game.
I mean, this is the kind of language, you know, like build trust through authentic peer-to-peer messaging.
This is language that I'm used to hearing from the advertising industry when they talk about working with influencers.
But how unusual is it for the government to be recruiting influencers in this way?
I mean, this is where you reach people these days, right?
And they do work in a marketing organization.
So the Biden administration.
So after you've made my cottage cheese pizza crust, let me tell you about ICE.
This is a great place to work.
Also, did recruit influencers for its own.
Hold on.
I have a meta idea that would actually work.
Oh.
Because and be more profitable.
Okay.
Which is and gets us off the video.
Okay.
Middlemen, agents.
Oh, agents.
Yeah.
We take the money from the government and dole it out.
Trolls, send me an email, adammcurry.com.
If you've got what it takes to be an influencer, we will hook you up.
Well, and we also track down the influencers that are kind of naive about what's going on and that there's free money.
Yeah.
And we just say, hey, here's the deal.
You want to do this?
We'll give you like 50 grand, right?
We'll give you 50 grand right now if you get started.
And it'd be doling out that kind of money.
You know, most of these guys are on there.
They'll take 50 grand is a lot.
And so we could be that, we can be that team.
We can be the same.
We don't have to change the still Curry and Dvorak, you know, consulting.
But we are now agents and we have cred.
We have enough, you know, it's not like we're slouches.
We have cred.
So the government would say, well, these guys know what they're doing.
They know what they're talking about.
You in particular.
And so we could just nail it.
We could be the middleman.
We would take a, we'd take a normal 20% cut.
But we'll have to take meetings with them.
Not necessarily.
With the government.
With the government?
Yeah, you got to do a meeting with the government.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you can do that.
Oh, everyone wants to meet Adam Curry.
What's your hair looking like?
Oh, what happened to your hair?
Oh, you're a poor guy.
You're not going to grow here like any, oh, well, he's good in meeting you anyway.
Yeah, you're a man.
You can have an autograph for my mom who used to watch.
Yeah, you could give a couple of autographs for the guy's mom.
I get that all the time.
My mom loves you.
I'm like, could you load up the 99?
If there's techies involved, I can do that.
But for the normal, you know, old MTV folks with moms that need autographs, you'd be right.
Perfect.
Yeah.
Rock and roll.
If you're thinking about the millions that are involved in this deal, you would do it.
And we can still do the show.
It's great.
Once a week instead of twice.
Yeah, perfect.
We can still do the show.
But in fact, we can use the show.
We can tell this.
And I'm going to give this out in advance so people will recognize it when it actually happens.
We will plug, just casually plug the people that are getting the money through us from the government.
There are podcasts.
Hey, you know, hey, did you see Jenny Jones' podcast the other day?
Well, it's not for podcasts.
The thing is, they're not asking for a lot of people.
Okay, influencers.
She's not a podcast.
She's an influencer.
You know, I have to say, she is, there are influencers out there, but she's one of the best.
And they'll get tons of traffic and likes.
Whether they get traffic or not, it's part of the deal.
We don't care about the numbers at the end of the day.
I hate to use that timer.
I'm going to say it.
Yes.
Yes.
But we don't care about the numbers.
We care about the deal.
Anyway.
Anyway, I find it all incredibly sad what's taking place.
The whole thing is messed up.
It's spinning people up.
They're all focused on one thing.
And again, people are missing.
They're drum.
Molly Ringwald is a dumb woman.
I'm not talking about Molly.
I'm talking about her own.
I'm hurt by her conversation because she was so dead serious about this.
Well, I mean, Bruce Springsteen kind of irked me, to be honest about it.
That's the one that, that's the one that got me.
But, you know, people are really.
He's just a blatant communist.
Yes.
But with a lot of money.
I'll just say this is not a color revolution.
The country is not falling.
It's not over.
It's a political operation done by professionals.
There's no doubt about it.
But it seems pretty contained to Minneapolis.
I just haven't seen anything spark up anywhere else.
So I don't know if this doesn't seem to be a good network if they want to do it.
Because you have to do it in multiple cities at the same time.
You've got to.
Well, they have to have cooperation with local police.
Yes.
Well, they're not.
You have to have a bunch of wimpy local police.
The police chief who's not even from Minnesota.
Not going to get that.
You're not going to get it.
You got it in Minnesota.
That's about it.
Right.
But my get it in L.A. L.A. could do this.
Yeah.
But L.A. is, well, they tried that.
Sorry, L.A. is already over.
It's past tense.
Yeah, it's where Bruce Springsteen lives.
There you go.
There you go.
Let me see if I had anything else.
I guess on the last show, we were talking about how this unfortunate guy, Predty, that he was carrying a concealed weapon legally.
And I'm like, okay, where's everyone now about guns and gun control?
Yes.
Well, the view came up with it.
If we have to endure conversations about guns after every school shooting and kids being shot and how we need good people with guns.
Well, Alex Predty was a good guy with a gun, and we see how that turned out for him.
But I think if one more person talks about the gun and not having the right, it's going to really piss me off because there was no movement after any school shooting.
There are a lot of people like myself that believe in the Second Amendment, responsible gun ownership.
Every state, right now, we have everything from Idaho, who has the weakest guns.
You could just kind of walk in and they'll give you one.
That's a joke.
And California has the strongest laws.
I'd like to see everyone get on board with more reasonable, responsible gun laws.
Like this is the time.
If we're going to now throw it all out the window on one Second Amendment right because it doesn't suit the narrative, let's have real conversation about responsible gun ownership because people seem open to it now.
So I don't know.
Is Sarah Haynes the token conservative on the show?
No, she's not actually.
The token conservative is the one that's sitting next to Whoopi, as I recall.
The blonde.
Okay.
No, Sarah Haynes is a, you used to work for the Trump administration as a people in the PR and the press.
Oh, well, there you go.
There you go.
And she turned on Trump.
She's disaffected, yes.
And she conservatively hates Trump.
Yes.
But she also, she does, but I think underneath it all, she's not as nutty as the rest of them.
Not yet.
What?
Not yet.
Not yet.
They'll grind her down.
But she, because I can see her bristle once in a while, but she's not the token technically.
I think it's that blonde who's, I can't even remember her name.
She never speaks up.
Oh, well.
So, okay, well, I got to ask Adam if you want to change topics.
Oh, yes.
Because it came up, the new virus, the killer virus that NBC is promoting.
Hold on.
I completely was not ready for it.
Here we go.
All right.
You have a question, I guess.
It's kind of in the clip.
This is the discussion of the new virus that is just going nuts.
Healthy.
Sorry.
Yep.
And this is the one they're talking about on that was teased on the NBC teaser.
Oh, yeah.
And this is, I'm going to play just the beginning of the clip, and then I have the question for you, and then we can play the clip whole.
Okay.
Health officials in the U.S. tonight are.
So wait a minute.
Which one am I?
The one that doesn't say answer.
Well, they're both 57 seconds.
Okay, they're different.
I can see it.
They're different.
Health officials in the U.S. tonight are monitoring a deadly virus that is spreading overseas, spreading overseas.
Airports in Southeast Asia are now heightening their airport screenings.
Raph Sanchez is following this from London for us.
And Raph, what more do we know?
So, Tom, airports across the region are stepping up their screening for what's known as the Nipah virus.
This is a far more deadly virus than COVID.
It has a fatality rate of between 40 and 75 percent, according to the World Health Organization.
Now, it's usually carried by fruit bats, and human-to-human transmission seems to be rare, but there is no vaccine at this point, which is why these two cases in India are being taken so seriously.
The Indian Ministry of Health says it's been doing contact tracing, and it believes the virus is contained.
And the CDC says it is monitoring the situation, and it stands ready to assist if needed.
So I'm keeping a close eye on that one.
All right, Raph, we thank you when we return.
Okay, so that screwed that up.
Hold on, hold on.
I told you you screwed this up.
I told you it was too long.
Yeah, it screwed it up.
Well, let me do the jingle.
Spreading Fear Through News Media00:04:17
Oh, really, won't.
I don't know, but here we go.
Ask Adam, ask Adam, yeah.
Answer the question.
Well, you heard the answer in there, but I'm going to ask anyway.
It's spreading.
It's spreading.
You know, this horrible Nipah virus is spreading.
How many cases?
You know, it was the question.
Two people in India.
Two people in India.
So how is that spreading?
It's spreading fear.
It is spreading fear through your news media.
That's what they do.
That's what they're paid to do, and they love it.
It's good.
I think what they're trying to do here is they're trying to keep it in mind.
There's a pandemic around the corner.
You know, the last pandemic, we have to remember that this COVID pandemic, which is dubious whether it was a genuine one or not, really, it was on the heels of the 1917 Spanish flu pandemic, which is the only real pandemic we've had.
And that was 100 years ago.
So every 100 years, we have something that is a real pandemic.
Yeah.
Assuming COVID was.
So we're not going to see another one for 100 years.
I mean, who are the kidding here with this pandemic, pandemic, pandemic that could happen any minute?
Well, they're not kidding you.
That's for sure.
No.
Yeah, but we played the teasers.
This is what they do.
That's all that they have.
It's just fear, Let's make it all fear.
It's just fear.
That's the whole idea.
And to a degree, it works on all kinds of people.
This is what I'm trying to tell you.
It's like, I hear people.
Keep trying to tell me.
I'm trying to tell you, man.
Keep trying to tell me that, Adam.
You never know.
I might get through eventually.
You might eventually.
No, I will.
Okay, so let's go to Florida and listen to a city council having a meeting where they're discussing some sort on Florida local access.
This is the Anita Dick clip.
Hold on.
Oh, okay.
Key, Florida Station of Counties, waves in opposition.
Pamela Burst Fort, Florida State Conference of NAACP branches, waves in opposition.
Anita Dick is an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Holden Hiscock is also an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Jimmy, only Jimmy.
Florida.
Well, how come those people never donate to our show?
Holden Hiscock.
Hold on Hiscock.
How we're all 15 years old in America.
It's great.
Unfortunately, I didn't do the clip if you saw it visually.
No, no, no, you got a clip of the day.
That was good.
Clip of the day.
It's about time.
So when he says Anita Dick, there's actually a long pause and he looks up and gives a dirty look at everybody around him and then goes back to reading.
And then he says the Hitchcock joke.
Yeah.
Holden Hitchcock.
Let's listen again.
Pamela, Birch Fort, Florida State Conference of NAACP Branches, Waves in Opposition.
Anita Dick is an opponent.
Waves in opposition.
Holden Hiscock is also an opponent.
God.
Waves in opposition.
No.
Jimmy, only Jimmy.
Yeah.
Florida.
I'm sure he had a last name, but you just decided not to use it.
Jimmy.
Only Jimmy.
Oh, man.
Holden Hiscock.
That is good.
It's good.
It's good.
That's the kind that's who America used to be.
No, no, no.
Now we're all out there 16 degrees.
Moaning and groaning about fascism.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I just want to thank everybody.
And it is everybody who wrote to us to say, hey, man, exploding trees are real.
And so I concede.
85 Seconds To Midnight00:02:58
Yes, they're not exploding, of course.
But yes, I guess bark does burst from time to time.
But everyone had an opinion on this and was all universal.
Yes.
Yes, trees explode.
You may have seen the videos appearing to show trees exploding under the constraints of the cold.
Yep, and I've seen this one as well.
But what is crack actually happening here?
But generally, what you're going to get is wood separating, creating the frost crack.
It's not really going to explode, like people are saying.
The appropriately named Zachary Froster is a certified arborist.
He also runs his own tree care business.
That's my name, Zachary Froster.
In Muskegon County.
What you got is the wood on the outside is getting colder than the inside.
It's creating a bunch of pressure on the inside, and that tree has to release that pressure, which creates the crack in the wood.
He showed us one tree in his backyard that has slowly opened up over the years.
He says the separation does make a sound, but it's not the kind of explosion you may have seen online.
No, it'll make a gunshot sound when it cracks.
It'll sound.
You'll hear it.
All right.
Okay.
We believe you.
It's all true.
Although some of those videos were definitely AI.
Yeah, that's what you do.
Yeah.
Have you seen the latest Amelia video?
No, I have not.
Is it good?
You know, now they're doing real short things.
She's in a boxing ring with Starmer and she just beats the crap out of him.
Is he wearing a bikini?
No, he's wearing patronics.
He looks like a boxer.
Okay.
That would have been funnier.
Yeah.
So we got the latest update from the, we got the bulletin from the atomic scientists.
This happens, I think it is every year.
We don't catch it every year, but we have been tracking this probably almost every year for the 18 plus years in the existence of this show.
And it is now even worse than ever.
Thank you for joining us today.
My name is Alexandra Bell, and I am the president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
It is the determination of the Bulletin's Science and Security Board that humanity has not made sufficient progress on the existential risks that endanger us all.
We thus move the clock forward.
The doomsday clock is a tool for communicating how close we are to destroying the world with technologies of our own making.
The risks we face from nuclear weapons, climate change, and disruptive technologies are all growing.
Every second counts, and we are running out of time.
It is a hard truth that this is our reality.
It is now 85 seconds to midnight.
This is the closest the world has ever been to midnight.
I am a robot.
85 seconds.
But that's, isn't that a minute and 15 seconds?
Why does she say 85 seconds?
85 Seconds to Midnight00:05:20
I thought that was kind of bizarre.
Because you say it's two minutes before midnight.
A minute and 25 seconds, not 15.
It's 85.
So it's yes, a minute 25.
I'm sorry.
It's like they're already, this is already a thing that doesn't work anymore.
The doomsday clock was, I think, a big thing in the 70s, maybe.
Yeah.
70s.
The same thing at the population bomb.
Yeah.
And now it's like, oh, it's 85 seconds to midnight.
The clock is ticking.
We have not done enough.
Well, they're trying to do it in Los Angeles.
They're trying to save humanity.
Access is easy and social media users can get sucked in for hours scrolling.
But some families say it could turn deadly.
In this case, nearly suicide.
These companies have been orchestrating an addiction crisis in our country and actually the world.
Mark Lanier says big tech companies deliberately built their platforms to addict users.
At the center of this case is now 19 years old.
She's identified in court documents as KGM, and she's suing some of the biggest tech companies, including Meta, the parent companies of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
She alleges these popular platforms were harming her mental health and contributing to depression, anxiety, and body image issues.
Her tournament says features like infinite scrolling out of play, constant notifications, and recommended algorithms kept her hooked for nearly a decade.
This is the first time these kind of claims will be decided by a jury.
Legal experts say the case is being compared to the early tobacco lawsuits of the 90s, raising the question of whether tech companies knew their product could be harmful and failed to act.
The company recognized that in a sense, they were cigarettes for the eyes.
The company strongly denied the allegations.
I love that.
Cigarettes for the eyes.
Wasn't it, didn't Dave Letterman have some, Howard Stern have a guy who could blow smoke out of his eyes?
Remember that?
Yes, there are people that can do stuff like that.
Who was the, I think it's, I think it was, who's the magician out of Texas who's magician?
Vasectomy.
Oh, Brushwood.
Copperfield?
Brian Brushwood.
I think Brian Brushwood can run a, can run a- Who are you?
Hey, man, I'm the Texas comedian who had a vasectomy.
All right.
According to the Noah Genders.
Which brings me before I get a dental floss through his eyeball.
Yeah, that's nice.
The company recognized that, in a sense, they were cigarettes for the eyes.
The companies strongly denied the allegations, arguing there's no clinical diagnosis for social media addiction.
Adding the apps have safety features built in for teens.
Representatives of these media giants are also relying on section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which generally shields platforms from liability.
Either way, this trial could shape how social media platforms are designed and how children use them.
This case is not ultimately about money.
This case is about responsibility.
Of course it is.
It's not about money.
Well, then why what's the point?
I think the poison pill they're going to use, if they ever get anywhere with this, is going to be what we talked about on the last show, moral injury.
Yeah, that's now, that's in the DSM now.
It is a mental condition.
Maybe the whole thing was a scheme.
It wouldn't surprise me.
Set it up as moral injury.
I have moral injury.
And you don't have to, you can be anywhere on any spectrum to get moral.
I get moral injury just listening to you.
I'm going to fight a lot.
Yeah, you do.
And I take full responsibility.
Yeah.
Well, you heard it here first.
That'll be $10 million for the moral injury I suffered at your hands.
Yeah, well, I'm going to counter sue.
Okay.
Meanwhile, although for some reason, not really the top of the news, it wasn't, I don't think it was any of the three by threes.
You know, the new owners of TikTok have taken over.
I'm not even quite sure who's actually managing it.
We only know about the shareholders.
I'm not sure.
Do you have any idea who's running it?
There was some guy named, and he's, I can't remember his name, but there is a person, I think Fruentes, I think, is the one who brought him up because he's Jewish, of course.
Well, that's Ellison.
No, everyone says it's Ellison.
Ellison, Ellison.
Ellison is.
No, Ellison is, yeah, but the guy running TikTok, there's this CEO.
Well, it's Mossad.
So Mossad is running TikTok.
That would be right.
That's exactly it.
And they suck at it.
TikTok's new American owner is apologizing to thousands of users after reported issues with the video sharing app.
Over the weekend, there were more than 600,000 reports of glitches.
The company says the issues were because of a power outage at a U.S. data center that the company uses.
Content creators are also noticing bugs, slower load times, and zero views on videos.
The company says it will be back to full capacity soon.
And that's the outrage.
I have no views.
Yeah.
That's the outrage.
Scandals in Europe00:09:31
You're right.
Oh, yeah.
The previous owners would just, oh, you got a million views.
Put phony numbers on.
Believe me.
Make everybody feel good.
That's a little trick that they should be employed.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You're really popular.
It's doing great.
Yeah.
And they didn't get that part.
I want to do an aside since I mentioned Brian Brushwood and you went on and on about the vasectomy.
Yes.
Which is personal.
I don't think we should be discussing it.
You brought it up.
But it was brought up at the dinner table, not Brian Brushwood, but it was brought up at the dinner table by JC because he's at the age, he's in his 30s, I guess.
But he's noticing, he says that he knows people that have had vasectomies and they immediately lose their sense of humor.
Hmm.
Well, that, yeah, that's.
I just thought I'd throw that out there because it's one of the elements because my thing was they all end up looking like old lesbians, which is bad enough, but losing your sense of humor can't be good.
Well, we have producers out there who have had vasectomies.
Yeah, if we start getting notes from them saying, that's not funny, then we know the answer.
All caps.
So there was a big rumor going around in Europe.
Europe has done all these, the EU, I should say, has done this big deal with India.
Actually, let me just play that clip for a second because it does have to do with this.
Here we go.
Big deal.
India and the EU began talking about a trade deal nearly 20 years ago.
Now they say they have one.
Prime Minister, distinguished friend, we did it.
We did it.
We are creating a market of two billion people.
And this is the tale of two giants.
The world's second and fourth largest economies.
Said the lady who's four foot nine.
Two giants who choose partnership in a true win-win fashion.
The Indian Prime Minister sees the deal as a new blueprint for shared prosperity in an increasingly uncertain world.
Frank, I'm Paraphras.
We are seeing a lot of turmoil today in the global order.
At such a time, the partnership between India and the European Union will strengthen stability in international systems.
India is one of the world's largest textile exporters, with around one-sixth of its annual product heading to the EU, worth more than $7 billion each year.
Annual trade between India and the EU represents more than $214 billion.
Many European exports are in the form of chemicals, machinery, and pharmaceuticals.
Tariffs on all will be radically reduced within the next 10 years.
But those on cars will drop the most, down to as little as 10%, for an annual limit of around 250,000 vehicles.
Germany's motor manufacturers say this represents a competitive boost for them.
Our ministers say it's a great opportunity for growth.
So the big thing.
Yeah, whatever.
The big thing is 100,000 tech workers will be allowed to come into the EU now.
100,000 Indian tech workers.
Which is, I mean, which is a nightmare.
It is.
It's a bad idea.
You know, we've gone through that.
We're still struggling with it in America.
If you look at all these scam companies that they got like a thousand Indian guys, and there's all these immigration paper schemes they do so they can stay longer.
And as long as they have a company who's vouching for them, the whole thing is messed up.
And I have to say, they're very racist.
Very.
They don't want to hire white men, women, even lower-class Indians.
They just hate it.
No, no, they have to be in the right caste.
Yeah, they have to be in the right caste.
So this immediately launched, although this is the debunk from Euronews, but this is how it's playing out.
Well, we're going to have a competitor to X. It'll be all European.
It's going to be great.
Claims are spreading online like wildfire that the European Union is setting up its own social media platform to rival X.
These posts have spread primarily on X itself, some with thousands of views, and say that taxpayers' money will be used to set up W as an alternative to Elon Musk's platform.
Some posts describe it as a state-run censorship platform that has received funding from the European executive.
But these claims are misleading.
A European Commission spokesperson told theCUBE that the EU is not launching, funding, or operating any social media platform.
There is no EU-backed project called W.
So what then is W?
According to its CEO, Anna Zaita is a privately owned social media startup incorporated in Sweden, funded by private investors, mainly from the Nordics.
W will be hosted on European servers, limit ownership to European investors and operate under the DSA.
False claims about EU involvement spread after a group of 54 MEPs urged European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to build European social media and back alternatives to the main platforms.
This was in the wake of multiple scandals involving Elon Musk's ex, including pornographic material and the amplification of false conspiracies.
Who is this?
The letter which...
Yeah, well, that's a typical Euronews report.
Where's...
I haven't seen any porn on Twitter ever.
And that's awesome.
I mean, I'm sure it's there, but I can't find it.
I've been looking.
If you search, you don't find it.
Looking forward to the market.
This is in the wake of the scandals in Europe.
You can't find it when you're looking.
Elon Musk's sex, including pornographic material and amplification of false conspiracies.
The letter, which is in no way binding, has no connection to W, which is not an EU initiative.
A recent European Parliament resolution calls for more technological sovereignty in areas like cloud computing and AI, but it doesn't propose creating a new EU social media platform.
W plans a gradual rolling out this year using passport and selfie verification to check the identities of its users.
So here's the thing.
They've got all this heat, all this talk about them.
I can't find it.
I can't find W. W.com.
I think they're going to do a social network.
Look up Blue Curry.
Blue Curry is in, you know, the spicy dish.
Blue curry?
I'm just kidding.
You don't have to look it up.
You know, there are Blue Curry.
Yes.
A Bahamian artist living and working in London.
So, you know, the things that are wrong with this is like you can do, you can, you don't need investors.
You can use Mastodon.
You can use Blue Cry.
You know, there's all these different alternatives.
The European Union, people need to stand up to these nuts.
This really is.
Yeah, talk about fascist.
Yes.
Yes.
Well, listen to this.
This is from the UK.
GB News.
I'm saying it so you know it's slanted, but this takes it.
Good evening.
A convicted terrorist is standing for election in Birmingham.
Shaheed Bart was convicted in Yemen in 1999 for conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Yemen, an Anglican church and a hotel.
Now he claims to have been wrongly convicted, saying that the charges were not terrorism related and he was forced into signing a confession.
He was reportedly linked to an armed Islamist jihadi group of radicals who kidnapped 16 Westerners in 1998.
They were accused during the criminal proceedings of being sent to Yemen by this guy.
He is the hook-handed hate cleric, the former preacher of London's Finsbury Park Mosque, who was found guilty of 11 charges of terrorism and kidnapping in a Manhattan court.
He's currently being sentenced to two life sentences plus 100 years with no possibility of parole in America.
In the early 1990s, Shaheed, who is standing for election in Birmingham's Spark Hill ward, apparently traveled to Bosnia as an aid worker and then just stayed and joined the Foreign Fighters Brigade of the Bosnian Army.
Before that, he had been jailed in Birmingham for violence and was in trouble regularly through the 1980s, linked to his role in the notorious Lynx gang.
According to reports in the Birmingham Mail, he has openly encouraged the city's Muslim youth to, quote, work out at the gym and learn to fight in readiness for potential attacks and urge Muslims to stand together and hold their ground against people of other faiths who he describes as disbelievers.
Yeah, well, there's GB News freaking everybody out in the UK.
Yeah, they're men of fighting age and they're training in the gym.
Go to the gym.
They're going to beat you up.
Wsocial.eu.
Well, that's the troll room found it for me.
That's snappy.
Trust your feed.
Iran Protests and Regional Tensions00:10:55
Wait, w.soc.e.
No, wsocial.
Wsocial.eu.
Yes.
I would have done w.eu if it was available.
Well, they probably can't get w.eu.
Why don't you just put that in there?
See what you come up with.
W.EU.
So listen to this.
Trust your feed.
We believe in the need for a global, trusted social media platform owned, run, and hosted in Europe.
W is built on verified human users, transparency, privacy, and free speech, like free beer.
We want to build W together with you.
How's that going to work in the UK?
Beta access will be rolled out gradually starting in March 2015.
Only for betas.
It's yet to be a beta.
Yes, for betas only.
Or as they say, beta.
Beta.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I signed up.
I did not get a confirmation email, but I signed up.
But it's global.
It's not just for the EU.
It's global.
Global.
Yeah, it's global.
I have one unreported story that nobody's reporting on in any of the mainstream.
I thought I'd at least get it out of the way early.
Okay.
And it's underreported.
Is where you'd expect it to be.
And in another development, the United States is apparently keeping a close eye on the upcoming elections in Iraq.
President Trump posted on Truth Social that if former Iraqi prime minister Nouri al-Maliki is elected, then the U.S. will, quote, no longer help Iraq.
Trump added that under al-Maliki's former leadership, the country, quote, descended into poverty and total chaos.
Al-Maliki, who was recently nominated by the country's dominant political party, responded by saying, quote, we reject the blatant American interference in Iraq's internal affairs and consider it a violation of its sovereignty.
Jason Perry in TD News.
That got a little bit of coverage, but yeah, of course I missed it.
Oh, you heard about it?
Okay.
We got to have the Zapruder film running over and over again on the quad screen.
But that said, all of a sudden, and this just happened without, I didn't get a notification, Iran opened up, the internet is reconnected, everything's back to normal.
CNN is on the scene doing man on the street and hilarious results because it's exactly what we've always heard from our Iranians.
Iran's leadership is sending a very strong and defiant message to the United States.
This guy's in Iran.
You can see it here on this gigantic poster on Revolution Square in central Tehran.
The message on this massive poster is: if you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.
Obviously, meaning if the United States attacks Iran, Iran will retaliate in a massive way, which could, of course, lead to a major military confrontation between the United States and Iran.
And that's also something that's on the minds of many of the people that we've been speaking to here as well.
I'm not sure what to say.
I think they're all collaborating with one another against the interest of the Iranian people.
I don't think Trump dares to attack.
He's more bluffing.
All this, of course, comes as President Trump weighs his options on what to do next.
The U.S. has pulled together a substantial military force here in this region, but the Iranians also say they've replenished their stockpiles of ballistic missiles and are ready to hit back hard any time.
Now, of course, all this comes in the wake of those large protests that happened here in Iran in the early part of January.
When you're out on the streets here, you can see that there are people who are still traumatized by what happened then.
I don't know what to say.
The situation was very bad.
Now that the internet connection is restored, we only now know so many were killed.
So we've got the late - sorry for the audio.
We've got the lady on the street saying, I think they're all just colluding with each other, the Americans and the Iranian leadership, which is what we've heard consistently.
But I'm just kind of missing the videos, the horrible video, like real videos, not the ones that were from Egypt from five years ago or whatever.
The reports are 30,000, 40,000 people slaughtered.
How come we're not seeing that video?
Where's our videos?
Everyone's got a phone cam.
So everyone.
The whole thing is very sus, as the kids would say.
Sus?
Sus.
Yeah, it's sus as in suspect.
Sus.
Oh, sus.
Sus.
Yes, sus.
It's hard to say the whole word.
Here we have, well, that's on.
As the kids say, I qualified it.
Here's the France 24 report about the Armada.
With anti-U.S. messaging on billboards and in headlines on Iranian newspapers, tensions are simmering amid threats of a U.S. attack on Iran.
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump again renewed his warnings, referring to a U.S. naval strike group that is now in Middle East waters.
Trump said the fleet was larger than one sent to Venezuela before the kidnapping of that country's president.
He called on Iran to negotiate a quote, fair and equitable deal, mentioning no nuclear weapons.
Trump suggested that if there was no response, the next attack would be far worse than last year's U.S. strikes on Iran under Operation Midnight Hammer.
The Iranian mission to the United Nations hit out at the threat on social media, saying Iran stands ready for dialogue based on mutual respect and interests, but if pushed, it will defend itself and respond like never before.
Speaking at the UN later, China warned against what it called military adventurism in Iran.
Earlier this month, Trump pulled back from threats of military action over Tehran's deadly crackdown against anti-government demonstrations, claiming the regime had reversed a decision to hang hundreds of protesters and amid pleas from Gulf nations to de-escalate.
Last week, though, Washington said it was sending a massive fleet to the region just in case.
Analysts say U.S. options include strikes on military facilities or targeted hits against the leadership under Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a full-scale bid to bring down the regime.
Meanwhile, in Europe, German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said Wednesday that the Iranian government's days were numbered.
The EU is expected to sign off on a first volley of sanctions over the deadly crackdown this Thursday.
There are also discussions to add Iran's revolutionary guards to the bloc's terrorist list.
So when the president says, or when the news says, that they're sending a giant fleet, an armada to the region.
So where is that?
The Gulf of Oman?
The Persian Gulf?
Qatar?
I'm thinking the same thing.
Where is this fleet?
Where's it going to be?
The Arabian Sea is going to be sitting out there.
Iran, I mean, yeah, they have.
Has anybody identified exactly where it's going to be positioned?
I haven't heard that.
We don't even know that there's a fleet being moved at all.
No.
And so that kind of comes back to the lady on the street and people who we know have said this consistently.
America and the Iranian leadership.
They do this all the time.
They're doing stuff together.
Yeah, that's the that would be the cafe chat.
Yes.
In most of the Middle East.
I'm just like, where are they sending this?
Where are you know, what's that water off of Baiku Baku?
Azerbaijan.
I'm thinking where the gate is.
That's the Caspian Sea.
Well, you can't get the Caspian Sea.
Where's that gate?
There's a sturdy.
Oh, yeah.
The Gulf of Aden.
Yeah.
It's supposed to be.
You know what comes out of that?
Yeah, fish.
Yes.
When the porthole opens up, that's when a fish come out.
Fish.
Yeah.
To feed us.
But even then, it's like, okay, I guess.
Yes.
Well, we have Navy boys and girls.
Let us know.
Are you underway?
Are you full steam underway?
No, they probably can't tell us.
So I'm not even sure.
Yes, they can.
They know what they can do and what they can't.
So I've been thinking about these about the Chinese military guys.
I think that who's they the Chinese military guys who were kicked out by Xi?
No, you said they're thinking about.
I've been thinking.
I said, well, I meant to say you, you, you're thinking.
I know it's dangerous.
I'm thinking.
I think that there might have been a coup.
I think there's a coup.
I think there was a coup afoot.
Where?
In China.
Oh, you mean in China?
That's why they got rid of all those generals out of the blue.
Yes.
These are tough guys.
A coup afoot.
Yes.
I never thought of that, but you might be right.
Why else would they do that?
And it would be the military who'd pulled a coup.
Yes.
Because that's what they do in these topic.
These guys are top guys, too.
They're top guys.
I got a minute-long report.
Just weeks after holding war games that encircled Taiwan, which alarmed the island's government, China announced it's investigating its most senior uniformed military officer, General Zhang Yojao, second in command of China's military, behind President Xi Jinping, along with Nu Zheng Li, another general, are suspected of serious violations of discipline and law.
The University of Toronto's Lynette Ong says, following the recent dismissal of other generals, the probes could be about loyalty.
I think President Xi wanted to consolidate power.
Zhang is one of the few Chinese officers with combat experience, and his father marched with Mao Zedong, making him part of an elite article.
The former ambassador to China says it appears Zhang always saw himself as equal to Xi, who holds more power than even Chairman Mao did.
It shows that Xi is not as powerful as people may think.
Taiwan's defense minister says the country is closely monitoring the changes in China's military.
China views Taiwan as a breakaway province, and Xi previously pledged reunification and has not ruled out using the military to achieve it.
I think they're just throwing the Taiwan thing in just for effect, but it just feels like the Taiwan would be a distraction to keep you.
Oh, yeah, Taiwan, Taiwan, Taiwan, instead of thinking what's really going on, which was an attempted coup or a suspected or a plot.
Ukraine Update00:15:49
Yeah.
Feels that he got wind of because there's always, you know, you got too many people.
You know, you got to keep it to three or four guys max and hope that none of them are pink.
Yeah.
Not easy.
Not easy.
Especially with a guy like Xi, who's just a complete, he's kind of paranoid.
He gets rid of people real fast.
Yeah.
But I can see being the second in command and with this guy who's never going to die, who took, who changed the rules and said, no, I'm going to be the premier forever.
It would be irksome.
I just felt if we look at ARC, I'm still hoping that ARC comes together, America, Russia, China.
Now, President Putin has said, you know, I'm kind of all in on that board of peace.
Billion dollars, no problem.
Ask the Europeans for it.
They're holding our money for us.
It's the funniest thing.
Is that what he did, really?
Yeah, yeah.
It's like a lot of work.
Yeah, we're good.
We are ready to direct $1 billion to this new structure.
He says, we got some frozen assets over there.
Ask the Europeans to send it over.
I'll sign the check.
Cute.
Very good.
Well, I have a Ukraine update that talks about this.
Not about that, but about what's going on.
Okay.
The U.S. continues efforts to end the fighting between Russia and Ukraine.
Both President Trump and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky are praising the ongoing progress.
NTD's international correspondent Aryan Pozdar has more.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky posted this video on X on Wednesday, praising post-war recovery plans that are being developed with the U.S. Zelensky says work with the American side is progressing actively.
I thank the envoys of the President of the United States for their constructive approach in the negotiations.
Just on Tuesday, President Trump also praised the progress that's being made to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
We're looking at some very good things happening on Ukraine and Russia.
Very good things.
Very good.
Very good things are happening on Ukraine and Russia.
And the Kremlin on Wednesday saying Zelensky is being invited to visit Moscow for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
We have never declined and will not decline such contacts.
The main thing is that these contacts are well prepared.
If Zelensky is truly ready for a meeting, we invite him to Moscow and guarantee his safety.
The Kremlin official added that Putin already discussed a possible meeting with Zelensky during phone calls with Trump.
Meanwhile, the fighting in Ukraine continues.
Ukrainian officials report strikes on various cities across the country.
A monastery in Odessa came under attack on Wednesday.
Another attack also damaged port infrastructure in the Odessa region.
Officials say three people were hurt in the strikes.
And in Kiev, a couple died in an overnight attack.
According to Zelensky, the couple was at home with their daughter during the attack.
Yeah, everything I see, the Ukrainian people are sick of Zelensky.
They're sick of the war.
They're so done with it.
Yeah, they should be.
Of course.
It's not going anywhere for them.
And by the way, if Zelensky takes a meeting in Moscow, you said, by the way, I just caught this one.
Ah, thank you.
Yeah.
I'm going to have a lot of trouble breaking that.
Well, we need a different phrase.
We need to program something.
Well, if I could program myself to say something different, I will.
But I and I've thought about it.
But if Zelensky takes the meeting in Moscow, I advise him going by train.
Yeah.
Could be one of those unfortunate.
Kim John-Un has got the right idea.
Trains.
Trains.
Yeah.
Well, this gives me the opportunity to check in with our boy Mark Rutter.
He's a man constantly treading a delicate line between Donald Trump and Europe.
The NATO Secretary General Mark Rutter swung largely in the favor of the U.S. as he addressed the European Parliament in Brussels on Monday.
If anyone thinks here, again, that the European Union or Europe as a whole can defend itself without the US, keep on dreaming.
Keep on dreaming.
Keep on dreaming.
You will be just run over.
You can't.
We can't.
We can't.
You need each other.
Strong words.
I think you need us more than we need you.
I'm just saying.
Warning for Europe, but also a stress on mutual dependence.
As a Dutchman at the head of the military alliance between the US, Canada, and 30 European countries, Ruta has been central to calming transatlantic tensions since Trump's renewed threats to annex Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark.
The Trump whisperer, Ruta has been carefully cultivating his relationship with Trump before taking the whole daddy thing a bit.
But there is some news on Greenland, and it seems like the framework is coming into view.
It's been one week since the U.S. president abruptly announced that the framework of a deal had been reached with the head of NATO over the semi-autonomous territory of Greenland.
I think it's a really good deal for everybody.
And the details are still scarce.
But one thing both Greenland and Denmark's leaders have reiterated is that sovereignty remains a red line.
There's no need for the U.S. to acquire Greenland in order to accommodate the security concerns.
We have a defense agreement for 51.
We are open to discuss whether that should be any amendments.
Since 1951, under the Defense of Greenland Treaty, Washington has had near unlimited access to the territory to construct military facilities in coordination with Danish authorities.
According to the New York Times, citing anonymous diplomats, the framework could include an updated pact to effectively create pockets of American soil in the territory.
This would give the U.S. greater control over the land to assist Donald Trump's plans for a Golden Dome missile defense program.
NATO has also been discussing a so-called Arctic Century, a new mission in the region similar to those in the Baltic Sea and on Europe's eastern flank that would dial up the alliance's defense.
So that's a good idea.
Well, at the very beginning, it says an agreement with NATO.
NATO doesn't own Greenland.
But that's just France 24.
No, that's what I've heard before.
They keep talking about an agreement with NATO.
No, that's wishful thinking.
But I like the idea, just like embassies.
If you're in a U.S. embassy, you are on U.S. soil.
So we could just create all these cool embassy-like green zones in Greenland.
Hey, how about that?
That are American soil, and we give those 57,000 people a crust.
They all seem to be on the edge of the beach there.
You know, that's where all those homes are.
Yeah.
You know, kind of in one spot.
Yeah, because there's one spot where they can huddle up and fish.
Fish.
And then you expand the 1951 agreement.
That's probably what it was all along.
He just wanted to make it, you know, this part of the deal.
Yell, yell, yell.
Oh, I want the moon.
I want everything.
And then, hey, you know what?
I want the moon.
Where are those guys going?
Aren't they going to?
I got an Artemis clip.
Play it.
Oh, oh, good.
Okay.
Artemis.
I'm excited.
Here we go.
The Artemis II mission is getting closer and closer.
And now, NASA says, is your chance to orbit the moon with the astronauts?
Well, kind of.
Your name can, anyway.
Along with the four astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft, there's going to be an SD card.
And your name could be on it.
The mission may launch in early February.
That all depends on whether the vehicle and the crew are ready.
And the weather, you know, the forecast.
It's pretty easy to submit your name at NASA.gov.
Or the name of that ex you never, ever want to see again.
Where was that?
That was NPR?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
I like the horrible laugh.
An SD card.
I mean, let's.
How about one of those?
I mean, they used to carry a whole car, whatever that vehicle, the lunar rover, That Doombuggy.
Doombuggy on these things, and now they can only barely get an SD card on.
Can't we send one of those 22 terabyte drives with all the no agenda shows on it and all the jingles and everything?
So the green.
We don't need, but I don't even need it.
I need under a terabyte for all that stuff.
22 terabytes.
You could put a lot of good stuff in there.
Well, we have producers who have stuff to add.
You know, we could create an open repository.
The drive's probably too heavy for the mission.
Oh, man.
Yeah, the moon.
But they're not even landing on the moon, are they?
Aren't they going?
No, not this time.
Not this time.
No, yeah.
They're going to flip around it.
Which is the furthest in space anyone's ever been.
That's how they're billing it.
Yeah, I don't know how that works, but that's what they're saying.
Yeah.
And so they're going to flip around and come, which means they still have to go through the Van Allen belts, which is one of the issues.
That's an issue.
And so we'll find out about that if they do it.
And I don't know.
We'll see.
Well, I always have to remember when Elon Musk launched his Roadster into space with the spacesuit guy in it.
Yeah, with the dummy, with the crash dummy.
Yeah.
And then he says, I know it looks like, well, at the time, we didn't have AI.
We called it CGI.
He says, I know it looks like CGI, but it's real, man.
It's real.
It's really up there.
Where is that thing?
Well, that's a good question.
I think it's probably gone into the deep space.
It borders on a great question.
It borders on a great question, but it's not because there's no such thing.
Anyway, before we take a break and have a very short thank you for a couple of people who supported the show today, following along with what you pegged right away with the prediction markets, Washington is under the loop.
On these websites like Polymarket and Calci, gambling or betting or purchasing contracts on political events is becoming increasingly more popular.
As I had mentioned in my story, people are betting on when the White House briefing will start, what the press secretary will say.
They're betting on geopolitical events.
They're betting on legislation.
There's an active bet right now about whether or not the government will shut down this weekend.
So as that becomes more and more prevalent, people who are in Washington are uniquely positioned to potentially misuse information that they have access to to profit on these websites, which is why advocates and experts are saying there need to be more rules in place.
One of the most fascinating parts of your piece was the revelation that there are two places in Washington where these prediction sites are inaccessible and one where it is.
Where are these locations?
And does that reveal to you there are fears of a possible new form of insider trading, as you alluded to?
Right.
So as you said, there are at least two places in Washington where access to Polymarket and Calci is blocked on the internet.
And that would be the White House press Wi-Fi in the briefing room that reporters use and the Wi-Fi in the House of Representatives that reporters and other members of people who are there use.
And that would really seem to suggest a sort of awareness in the wake of all this sort of discussion about betting on what's happening in the briefing room.
The White House has been sort of quiet.
But the fact that they've blocked Polymarket and Calci on the White House would suggest that they sense the potential for some sort of a problem.
Can't you just use your cell phone?
Why are people on the White House Wi-Fi?
It's the last thing I would connect to.
We got to get into this point.
We got to get into this prediction market.
So I think we could make a killing.
I want to bet on it.
Well, we definitely be good at it.
Yeah, I want to bet on the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest.
Well, we get those long.
Yeah, the way you make a killing with the long shots.
Surefire long shot.
That's the kicker.
You know, everyone's doing law, filing lawsuits about X.
This is the problem.
This is just gambling for kids.
These predictions.
Before we jump to that, I have a clip that could take us right into the donation.
Can I do something beforehand?
Because it was a good idea.
I want to ask the robot where Elon Musk's Roadster is.
Yes, once you do that.
Okay, robot.
What is the current location of Elon Musk's Roadster and Spaceman that he sent into space years ago?
That Roadster with Starman in the driver's seat is currently in a heliocentric orbit, essentially orbiting the sun.
You can actually track its approximate location on websites that provide real-time simulations of its path.
It's quite a journey.
Wow.
Okay, that was melted.
It's underwhelming.
This is underwhelming answer.
This robot's no good.
The robot's no good.
It's no good.
All right.
What do we have?
I have a good to lead us right into the donation.
This is the old.
Now, this is an interesting clip.
This is floating around.
This is an old coot.
Yeah, actually, I clipped it twice.
Old Fart's the other one.
Same clip.
Same clip.
And it sounds like it was done in the 40s or something, but in fact, this is a, because based on the information he provides, this is some old fart that's on TikTok with this commentary, which I thought was relevant.
We wanted to see the brain.
So somebody invented the MRI.
Wanted to see bones.
Invented the x-ray.
Wanted to see babies in the womb.
Ultrasound.
Hell, we got CAT scans, PET scans, 3D imaging.
We got machines that can look through clothes at the airport.
We got satellites that can read a license plate from space.
They can print organs now.
They can do remote surgery with a robot sitting in another state.
So would somebody please explain to me why my doctor's got to stick his finger up my ass?
And with that, I want to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the coup that's afoot.
Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C DeMara.
Hey, good morning, you say, C, business graph in the air.
Subs in the water in the dames and nights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, buddy, count your caricatures.
There you go.
Okay, 1,536.
Okay.
By the way, the robot could have just said, where's the TeslaRoadster.com?
Gemini's Farce Problem00:07:38
The troll room is better than the robot.
That's not good.
No, but that's, and this is the Gemini.
I'm tapped into the Gemini API right now.
And it's just, it's also disappointing.
You guys talk about that.
Did you do a DH unplug this week?
I haven't listened yet.
Yeah.
You do it every week.
Yeah.
And what was Andrew saying about the AI trade?
What does he think?
Is it going to blow up soon?
What's the thinking?
There's no evidence it's going to blow up soon.
No.
How about the dollar?
The dollar went down.
Yeah, it went down, but I, you know, everyone's, I think, a little overdoing this.
I look at it.
What is it today?
It's like a book 19 Europe versus the Euros.
Is it 120?
Around 120.
Yeah, it's around 120.
Well, it was 119 last I saw.
And a penny's a big deal.
I heard Trump say, I can make it go up and down like a yo-yo whenever I want.
I'm not sure he can, but he said that.
I don't remember him saying that.
Yeah, I should have clipped it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He said, and he says, good, I like it.
I like the dollar like this.
All those other countries were always devaluing.
And now, without saying it, we've done it, I guess.
How do you devalue?
Just by printing money?
You say it.
Huh?
Yeah, well, you do it by printing money.
Well, you know, everyone's out there now.
Oh, oh, it's going to collapse.
I'm going to have a collapse.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Well, there's going to be, there's always going to be a collapse.
So you can say that.
Yeah.
You can say it all the time.
Eventually be right.
Yeah.
And with gold.
Gold.
Gold.
Man, we should have gotten in that gold advertising a long time ago.
Yeah.
Should have.
I mean, we could have gotten paid in gold.
You know?
Or silver.
What's silver?
I know somebody had a gold bar once.
No, don't start.
All right, everybody.
Thank you for tuning in, you trolls.
They're listening at noagendastream.com.
There's always something live going on at noagendastream.com, which is just dynamite.
And if you use the modern podcast app, and there are many who have this functionality at podcastapps.com, when you subscribe, like if you're following Planet Rage, of course, you follow the No Agenda show.
When we go live, when those guys go live, boom, you get a notification.
I think it's like Tuesday or Wednesday whenever they do that.
I'm usually walking the dog like, oh, oh, they're live.
Boom, I listen.
And if I'm tired of listening to them and I want to get the podcast, the minute, it's like 90 seconds after we upload the show.
Boom, it's available on those apps.
That's the kind of app you want.
Don't settle for less from some of those Silicon Valley companies who just can't do what we're doing because we're agile.
Value for value is the name of the game for us, which means we give you this show, been doing it for over 18 years.
We give you the entire program.
We don't have any restrictions.
It's no premium content somewhere else.
We're not available on FAST.
This is a new acronym I learned, FAST.
What's FAST?
FAST.
It's free ad-supported television.
Supposedly, this is they're really picking up the fasts.
So that's Pluto.
Wait, wait.
Free ad-supported television.
That's different than broadcast television.
How?
Because it's streaming.
It's only streaming.
It's not broadcast.
But it's the same thing, basically.
It's ads.
Look, I'm just giving you some information from out there in the world.
This is what it's called.
And now you're arguing about whether it's broadcast or not.
That's not the point.
No, I'm not arguing that.
I'm arguing they make it sound as though it's like a great new idea.
Golly.
No one's ever thought of this before.
Well, the reason I bring it up is because more and more people are giving, I mean, this is what I'm hearing.
That are thinking or are actively starting to give up their subscriptions to one or more of the many subscriptions they have.
A, and this is a complaint you and I have because there's nothing good on it anymore.
And if you want to see old muck, you might as well just get 2B or Pluto and just watch that and deal with the ads.
We've come full circle.
I mean, come on, has there been anything good on any of these streamers lately?
We talk about it after the show.
By the way, here's a, we are giving you a behind the scenes look after the show, after we've had all of this fantastic, we grouse like, well, what are you watching?
There's nothing good.
There's nothing.
There's nothing.
Well, I brought Brunetti into the conversation as best I could, and he can't find anything, except he says Teran is kind of worth watching.
So I tried watching it.
Unwatchable.
It's kind of unwatchable.
It's a little, I don't mind the, here's the problem I have with some of these things like Teran, which is an Apple TV show.
And I've had it with other shows too.
When you get older, and by older, I mean anybody over 40, suspense is annoying.
Another, I mean, it must be the low T because ever since I got my T measured and I'm low, I'm like, suspense is annoying.
Everything's annoying.
It's just no good.
I don't see how low T would affect annoyance.
But I will say that it's annoying.
I mean, and good, super good suspense people like Alfred Hitchcock actually, unfortunately, made it popular, but nobody can do it as well as he does.
So it's annoying.
Nobody, it's like a farce.
Farces are very difficult to pull off as a dramatic.
Give an example of a farce.
A farce is tip.
The Fraser show was mostly farce.
Yeah, farce.
And a farce is typically a misunderstanding taken to a maximum limit.
And the great farces that were produced on Broadway, they tend to come out of England.
England is the great farcers.
Yes.
And they get for people who like to see farcers.
They're the mother of all farcers.
The mother of Farsar.
Farcers.
And the two great ones are Noises Off for people who ever get to see it on Broadway.
Noises Off is one of them.
And what's something with my wife?
Follow your wife.
Isn't it also a lot of those and the British shows do this a lot where the coming in and out of doors, the next person comes in and they've misunderstood it and then they leave and another person.
That's a farce.
Yeah.
And a lot of doors opening and closing.
A run for your wife is a really good one.
That's where a guy who's a bigamist ends up in the hospital and his two wives come to see him, but never at the same time quite.
And he's trying to keep them from showing up.
It's a very good farce, run for your wife.
And there's a bunch of them.
There's probably probably, when I go to London, which I don't do anymore, but when I used to go all the time, I would always see a farce.
You won't even be allowed in anymore.
They'll be at the board.
They'll be like, oh, Dvorek.
They don't let anybody.
They cut out Vlander Vlurk.
And Michael Savage will appear.
Wait, what was our nickname for her?
I thought it was McGillicuddy or something.
Eva McGillicuddy.
Jobs And Farces00:17:02
I'll remember it now.
Eva McGillicuddy.
Anyway, yeah, so, you know, people, and eventually they're all going to get sick of watching podcasts on YouTube.
It's a cycle.
It takes about six, seven years.
We're now in year three.
Yeah, year two.
And there is an advertising cycle, too, that you and I both know of because we've seen it collapse at least twice.
And it's due for a third collapse.
Yes.
And we're due for a third awakening.
All these things are happening.
The season of reveal is upon us, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, sure.
Value for value can be returned.
The value can be returned to us in many ways, time, talent, or treasure.
And we always thank our supporters, our financial supporters who are critical, critical for our mission.
And it doesn't take much.
It can be just five bucks a show or whatever value you get out of it.
Send it back to us.
If you're spending two, three hours listening to us, you must be getting something out of it.
Just think of it as a cup of Frappuccino.
No, even Frappuccino.
Not even more than Frappuccino.
That's all we expect.
It's just a cup of coffee.
And I might want to point out that even with inflation and the devaluation of the dollar, we have never changed the level ratio for becoming a knight.
We've never changed it.
No.
You know, it's worth about $600 now.
Yeah.
That's a deal.
20 years, 18 years.
Yeah.
It's a deal.
It's a deal.
It's a deal, man.
It's a deal and a steal.
Exactly.
Of course, time, talent, treasure.
We talked about the treasure.
Time and talent done in many different ways.
So, for instance, you're going to a meetup this Saturday.
That's Oakland.
It's a perfect example of people putting together a meetup.
You know, you got to organize.
You got to make sure people are coming and it's appreciated.
These are things that help the show, always help the show, particularly if you treat John like a bride at a Jewish wedding and stick envelopes full of cash to his back with scotch tape.
We recommend gaffer tape.
And then there's art.
And this is interesting for today's episode, or actually episode 1837, which we titled Moral Injury.
Lawsuits are coming.
Darren O'Neal just nailed it once again with the No Agenda Cosmic Barrier condom, which because it didn't have kind of like a circular impression in it, I think it took everybody maybe three or four seconds to realize what they were looking at.
But when we saw this, we just like, we just cracked up.
And Darren sent us the actual prompts and what he went through to create this art.
And I thought this was interesting to communicate to the potential artists out there or prompters.
Here was his prompt.
And I'm surprised at how simple this was.
Yeah, his prompts are pretty simple.
I've gotten them from him every so often when I want one.
And then all caps, no agenda space condom, produced by the Curry and Dvorak company, made especially for no gravity fornication.
Make the packaging vibrant and space themed, to which he got from ChatGPT where he's making this, apparently.
I can't generate or generate, I can't create or generate sexual content or imagery for someone under 18, including product concepts centered on sex or explicit activity.
If you have another design idea that's non-sexual, like a parody space cadet, sci-fi snack or humorous, no agenda space product, I'm happy to help bring that to life.
And then Darren gets into an actual conversation, nay, an argument with his bot.
Well, but I'm 55.
And this thing keeps on coming back.
No, I believe you.
I'm genuinely sorry for the friction this creates.
It's not about me doubting you, Darren.
This specific chat session is operating under a teen safe mode flag, which hardlocks certain categories.
And so Darren had to go around it.
And then he said, just make it no agenda zero G safety sleeve, no agenda orbital wrapper, no agenda space protector, no agenda cosmic barrier.
And somehow he got it.
He got it to work.
But what's kind of weird is that he had this whole conversation.
I put it in the show notes.
This whole conversation with the chat bot.
I'm getting a little concerned about Darren.
I mean, this is a good reel US.
He's producing quality products.
Yeah, but he's talking to it like it's a human.
Well, it thinks it is.
It does not think.
Doesn't know, it doesn't think it is.
It's programmed to behave that way.
Yes.
It's bogus.
It is.
And he's had, but he has to deal with it because this is like, this is like, you know, it's like a nut that you can't get to fit on the screw and on the threads.
It won't fit because something's wrong.
You got to force it on.
Oh, Darren said that's what ChatGPT suggested.
Okay.
Well, anyway.
You know what, Darren?
It worked.
It was good.
And I'm sure you couldn't do the little round circle impression thing.
That would have violated its terms.
You could have done that by Photoshop if you put it on.
Oh, please.
No one's going to do anything.
No one's doing any extra work.
Yeah, somebody could.
I think we had a noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can upload your prompted beauties.
Let me see.
Was there anything else we liked?
That was pretty much it.
I like something I think Jeffrey Rea did.
I used for the newsletter.
I can't find.
I'm looking for it.
Or Blue Acorn.
Blue Acorn's doing stuff again.
Blue Acorn is really cranking it up because he wasn't mentioned.
He hates Darren.
The way I see it.
Yeah.
If we don't mention.
All right.
So let's mention Comics or blogger, Rocket Boy, Jeffrey Rhea.
I don't see Scaramanga.
I didn't mention him.
So Scaramanga.
That was the Scaramanga piece I used for the news.
That's right.
Yes, the Snow Games.
Yeah, that was a good piece.
Very good piece.
I don't think, was that uploaded when we were looking for it?
I don't know.
I don't think so because I would have noticed it.
Yeah, I don't think so.
I was kind of surprised when I saw it.
I don't see it now.
I mean, it came and went.
I don't know.
No, I see it.
I see it on the right-hand side.
Anyway, NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
The value is right there in the prompting.
Thank you so much.
And now, as we thank everyone, $50 and above, we start with our executive and associate executive producers.
We are, after all, Hollywood guys.
And we like to give these credits out because they're real and they are something that you can keep forever.
They last your lifetime.
You can ensconce this.
You can eternalize this at imdb.com.
Eternalize.
I said internalize.
Eternalize this at imdb.com.
It might have already been done for you, interestingly.
Some friend of the show seems to be doing this for people, but we're okay with that, I guess.
Although people like to maintain their own accounts.
And of course, you can put it on your social media profile and your LinkedIn.
You can call yourself a podcast producer.
You might get gigs out of it.
Side hustle.
It sounds good.
$200 or above gets you an associate executive producer credit, and we will read your note.
$300 and above an executive producer credit, and we also read your note.
And there's no note to read for our top exec today, Chris Moore from Indianapolis, Indiana, comes in with $590.
No note.
So if you want to send that for the next show, we'll read it, Chris.
In the meantime, you get a double up karma.
You've got karma.
And you can take this one from Dalton.
Why?
I don't want to take it on.
I can't read it.
It just is no good.
I have the same problem.
Okay.
I am one of your many Zoomer listeners.
I'm an older Zoomer, 28.
We love the Zoomers.
The Zeds who listen are smart.
And they're here to get educated.
And they know that, yeah, we talk about Bakelite phones, but you're going to learn something.
You will learn things that are good for your future in this world.
I believe so.
And this Zoomer has not missed an episode in almost 12 years.
So he started listening when he was 16.
After listening to Sunday Show, I felt compelled to donate and to say this.
Congratulations.
The stupid-ass clip of Scott Simon talking about exploding trees is the single worst clip you have ever played on the No Agenda Show.
Yes.
Yes, the premise of the clip is asinine, but here are some Scott Simon journalistic gems I think you missed.
One, Scott asks what a cracking tree sounds like.
The guy says, it sounds like a large cracking sound.
I can't believe we didn't catch that.
Two, Scott asks if any trees crack more than others.
The guy says, maple trees, hardwood trees, and conifer trees.
In other words, all trees.
Yeah, that's a good point.
Good point.
Then the guy says this only happens if the temperature is under minus 20 degrees.
Scott says, that's pretty cold, isn't it?
Wow, what a journalist.
Thanks, Scott Simon.
Truly, NPR is America's national treasure.
He has his own podcast.
He makes around $450,000 a year, by the way, he says.
I hate this clip.
It is a prime example of how listening to the media actually makes you dumber.
Good thing no one listens to NPR but you two.
Everyone's just watching TikTok and Instagram.
And if your blue-collar company still isn't posting high enough quality content on social media, oh, here we go.
Check out fishermultimedia.com.
Oh, he slips in.
He slips in a side hustle.
We scrape, shoot, and edit and post all of your content for you so you don't have to.
Hey, here's an idea.
Here's an idea.
Why don't you do some of that for the No Agenda show?
Now he says he does lawn care, landscapers, roofers, plumbers, contractors.
We got you covered.
We made over 117 posts with at least 1 million views each, all organically.
We're based in Phoenix, but we travel nationwide to shoot video.
Visit fishermultimedia.com or email Dalton.
Yeah, give us a bonus.
Yeah, let's do that.
Please.
By the way, he becomes a knight today, which I'm so happy to hear.
It was $369.12.
Well, he's spot on with the deconstruction of Scott Simon.
And I would say, you know, we enjoy the products of people who have plugs as executive and associate executive producers.
If you're any good, you won't even have to plug.
We'll talk about it.
So, I mean, I know John hates you saying that.
We talk about a lot of stuff.
We talk about lots of things.
We like a product, we'll tell you.
So, if you got this service, looking forward to it.
He says, please play the Scott Simon jingle for me to celebrate my nighting.
And please order me some PlayStation 2 and PT Scotch for the roundtable.
God bless, gents.
The show has never been better.
Suffering Succotash.
I'm Scott.
Simon.
All right.
Dynamo.
Good.
All right.
There we go to Alex Pellegrino in Franklin, Tennessee, the hub of Tennessee.
$350 is no note here, so we'll give him a double up karma.
I'm pretty sure I know, Alex.
You've got.
Karma.
I'll get the next one too because that one was too short.
I'm going to go to Bill Taos or Dows, possibly, in Pasadena, California, 333.33.
And he rubberized aristocrats, Bill Taos.
Whatever, Rebelize.
I don't know what he's saying there.
That's what it came in as a note.
So, oh, oh, I see what you did.
Okay.
That was really funny, John.
So no, so now I get to read this long note again.
That's why I'll take two in a row.
I'm a nice guy.
I'll just do two, no problem.
Because you know that there it is, Christine from Raleigh, North Carolina, 333.33.
And she says, Hi, Adam.
I work at a large venue in Raleigh, North Carolina as a ticket taker.
So when many folks cubed through my lane this weekend who were sitting in Section 333, I knew it was a sign to donate.
That's how it works.
Ah, I'm also a professional event planner.
I sent you an email inviting you to come to North Carolina.
I didn't receive a response.
So maybe if there's some money attached to the invitation, it helps.
Plane tickets, money, hotel room.
It will carry more weight.
Please come to North Carolina.
I've been listening to the show since.
What are you going to do there?
What she wants you to do is I can't remember this email.
So she'll have to send it to me again.
I've attended many meetups since then.
Y'all have a lot of loyal listeners here, and I'm surprised at how many I've met that have been listening since day one.
I would love to work with you and the many folks here in our great community to plan and host the good old southern shindig.
You know, Tina and I would be happy to come to North Carolina in the summer.
Let's do it in the summer.
No, I think spring and fall is better.
No, we're going to be doing that as dynamite as long as it includes whole pig barbecue.
Yes, that is a whole hog.
That is a must.
I'm hoping all the infamous North Carolina knights and dames and those aspiring to be who donate and listen regularly will consider this an invitation as well.
Thank you for your courage.
Christine in North Carolina.
And if you want her contact details, you can email us and we'll give them to you if you're looking for an event planner.
And yeah, well, let's send me another email, Christine.
I have no, I can't remember it, so I guess I didn't see it.
But thank you.
Tina and I do always try to at least go to another state once a year for one of the meetups.
We do all the meetups local as much as we can.
But it would be fun.
North Carolina, we've done South Carolina.
Let's do North Carolina.
Brawley's a good area, too.
Yeah.
Meanwhile, also in North Carolina and Carborough, which I have no idea where that is, Sir Aerie, $300.
Sir Ari here, love the show.
Please play the Shape-Shifting Jews and some relationship karma, which is much needed and appreciated.
Please, thank you for your courage.
You've got karma.
And we're at Linda Lu Pack in Castle Rock, Colorado.
We know what she wants, Jobs Karma.
It's always the same.
And for a reason, because for a competitive edge with a resume that gets results, you can just go to imagemakersinc.com.
It's for all of your executive resume and job search needs.
That is ImageMakers Inc. with a K.
And work with Linda Liu.
She's the Duchess of Jobs and writer of winning resumes.
One of our daughters.
She works in this program.
I think she's like a forest ranger now or something in Illinois.
And I think it's only a two-year thing and she's been there a year.
And so the company said, all right, everybody, we want you to write your resume.
And we've hired this company who will then review it and send it back.
What do you think happened?
They said the AI.
Exactly.
They said they just literally charged this company money, took the resumes that these young people wrote, ran it through Chad GPT.
Whatever it spit out, they sent it back and said, look, this is much better.
Can you believe that nonsense?
Yeah, I can believe it.
Go to imagemakersinc.com if you want resumes that get results.
Best from Linda Lou.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You got karma.
Consultants.
Oh, that was it.
That was the last one.
That was it.
Yeah, you hit the bottom right there.
That was a quickie.
We didn't get a lot of support this show.
Nikki Minaj's Compromentalize00:15:23
No, we didn't.
But we will continue because we'll.
Hopefully, I'll get a couple more of those silver coins at the meetup.
Baron of San Francisco and somebody else always gives me a silver coin.
I think they're going to probably hold on to them now.
Well, the ones we got, we got them at like because I remember we got some donated, and I think you sent my half.
Yeah, they've doubled in value by now.
Was it 100?
I think they're more now.
Right now, I think silver is up to over 110.
What is going on with that?
Is there a top to this trade?
Well, it turns out, if you want to know the story.
Yes, of course.
Although it was explained on Horowitz.
Yeah, I hadn't listened yet.
You should listen.
So they discovered there's a new patent by Samsung that is employing silver into the anode to make a silver carbon anode, I think is what it is, for electric batteries for lithium-ion that doesn't produce dendrites.
And it's the dendrites, which is the little crystalline formations that take place in a battery structure that crack the battery or catch the battery on fire or hurt the battery's life and all the rest of it.
So this thing will take a charge now, a high-speed charge without making dendrites.
It'll last longer.
It goes through thousands more cycles and it doesn't wear out so fast.
It's a killer.
And it's going to chew.
And people started doing the calculation on how much silver is going to be needed just for the lithium-ion technology using these anodes.
And the number was like, well, that's a little more than the supply that's currently available.
And wait a minute, there's a huge shortfall.
Now all these guys are doing calculations on Bank of America and JP Morgan, who have both shorted to death silver.
But they already went long.
Didn't they all flip to long?
They've been trying to buy it back, but they can't buy back fast enough because there's not enough supply.
And so they created this ridiculous situation where it's like it's a sense of realization.
Oh my God, the silver has been purposely manipulated, but manipulated on the downside.
And now that everyone's coming to this realization and all the shorts have to cover and everything in between, people are expecting it to go to $400.
But I don't want to discourage anyone from giving me a silver coin at current prices.
That's interesting because Max Kaiser has been saying this for at least 10 years.
He was saying, you know, silver, you know, we need to create a run on silver.
That'll ruin the, I think, I don't know if it was.
This is not a run on silver.
This is a calculation that was done.
And everyone looks at the numbers and say, we haven't got enough silver for what they're proposing here.
We need to get more silver into this.
It's not like a run on silver.
It's a new technology.
I think that was the last straw that's this battery thing.
It was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
And now silver is like, wait a minute, were you okay?
Well, let's rethink this.
And boom, now silver is way up there.
I keep looking at that donut lab battery and someone sent me a video of this guy.
He was at maybe CES or some type of conference talking about the battery.
Yeah, but then he sent me another video.
The same guy also is running some kind of AI company that has real intelligence.
I'm like, oh, okay.
All right.
Yeah, there's something fishy about this guy.
I'm fishy about that guy.
Hey, thank you very much, executive and associate executive producer.
We'll be thanking the rest of our supporters for today.
$50 and above in our second segment.
Congratulations with your credits.
My formula is this.
We hit people in the mouth.
Maybe we should go digging for silver.
Maybe there's some silver in the mines that we can find.
Got to buy us a silver mine or something.
Yeah.
Well, something.
I have a drunk or not drunk clip.
Okay, where's your clip?
Chick drunk or not drunk?
Sounds she could might, maybe she's not drunk.
Okay, we'll find out.
Another Friday night question for the chat: Should broke men be allowed to date?
Allowed is doing a lot of work.
My mom is literally listening to this on TikTok Live right now.
It's not been something I've been pondering, but I want to know what y'all think.
It was hilarious listening because somebody, some woman was like, oh, you know, he doesn't have any money.
We'll just build him up.
You know, we'll just build up his confidence, get him some skills.
And some woman was like, this ain't Bill the Bear.
What is this?
Another man was like, oh, they ain't got no money.
They can't get into the game and play all four quarters.
Just tremendous commentary, but chat, let me know.
What do you think?
Allowed is kind of a crazy thing, but should you date if you don't have any money, men?
No, not drunk.
You know, she sounds like, was she white or black, this lady?
She's a white girl, and I think she's drunk.
Did you see Nikki Minaj?
No, I've heard about this the clip where she goes off on how great Trump is, or which one?
Yes.
Yes.
Well, first, let's hear Trump going off on how great she is.
This was during the Trump accounts announcement.
Actually, I think that's only 30 seconds.
Let me play the Trump account announcement.
President Donald Trump is urging families to sign up for the so-called Trump accounts when they file their 2025 income tax returns.
The president joined Treasury Secretary Scott Besson's CEOs and investors at an all-day summit today in Washington.
The accounts are set to become active in July under President Trump's signature tax and spending legislation.
The federal government will deposit $1,000 for every baby born between 2025 and 2028.
It's like all these different people are jumping in.
Like the Dells are giving $500 per baby.
Did I hear JPMorgan might be doing something?
Yeah, I heard this too, that everyone's going to say, well, I'll top it.
I'll top it off for y'all.
But it's not tax deductible.
It's not a gift in that regard.
It's not a grant.
No, what is the benefit?
What is the benefit?
Is there a financial benefit or is it just looking at it?
It supposedly goes into an account that accrues.
Yeah, but that's for the baby, not for the person who puts it in.
Yeah, it's for the baby.
Yeah, but is there any benefit for the people giving the money other than just being a good person?
Nobody's good person.
What?
We're also pleased.
My daughter, she went crazy when she heard that this was.
I want to go.
You know, she happens to be in the wrong state right now for that, but when she heard that there's a certain person that's here who's the greatest and most successful female rapper in history, Nikki Minaj.
Nikki Minaj.
You know?
And Nikki makes a lot of cash.
Not as much as Michael Dell.
Not quite.
Not as much.
But that's okay.
But Nikki makes a lot of money and she's actually stepping up.
She's investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in Trump accounts to support the children and really the children of her incredible fans.
That's great.
Focus on that.
Why should you give to somebody else's fans?
Give to your fans.
I like that.
But and I just think she's great.
You know, I've been hearing so much over the years because I didn't know Nikki.
And I've been hearing over the years she's a big Trump supporter and a Trump fan.
And she took a little heat on occasion.
Her community isn't necessarily, I tell you, we did pretty damn well with it, with your community, as we as we say.
There's an 80-year-old white man trying to say black people.
Your community, your community.
But Nikki has been an unbelievable supporter.
She gets more, she gets almost as much as Mr. Wonderful over here.
He's been another one.
He's been so good.
But I'd like to ask you to come up, Nikki.
Come on up.
All right.
So she comes on up.
And now I'm fulfilling a wish from a couple of our female producers who said, do you only play black women clips when they're mad and retarded and crazy?
I said, well, that's a good point.
So here you go.
I play very few black women clips who are mad and retarded and crazy.
You're the one that plays the Obama phone.
That's what they're talking about.
That would have actually been better.
Let me see.
So if we, so where's Trump here?
Okay.
So there we go.
She gets more.
She gets almost as much as Mr. Wonderful over here.
He's been another one.
It's been so good.
But I'd like to ask you to come up, Nikki.
Come on up.
Everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama's phone.
Keep Obama, President.
You know, he gave us a phone.
No, that was not Nikki Minaj.
Here's Nikki Minaj.
Hello.
Obama.
Well, I don't know what to say, but I will say that I am.
Did you hear that?
She's hyperventilating.
She's actually nervous.
She's taken.
She's nervous.
Yeah, she's at the with the president and she's now and it's a little not as different.
So she's like, she's hyperventilating that she's nervous.
That's funny.
Yeah, but she regains her composure quickly.
Well, I don't know what to say, but I will say that I am probably the president's number one fan.
And that's not going to change.
And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all.
It actually motivates me to support him more.
And it's going to motivate all of us to support him more.
We're not going to let them get away with bullying him and, you know, the smear campaigns.
It's not going to work.
Okay.
He has a lot of force behind him, and God is protecting him.
There you go.
And Naley got two communities in one.
Got the black people and the Christians with Nikki Minaj.
Right on, Nikki.
I thought that was the whole thing just sounds good.
It's fun that everyone's jumping in on it.
I'm glad that she's taking a side and doesn't sound like Molly Ringwald.
Jeez.
Speaking of music artists, Kanye West is now apologizing.
Yay.
Formerly, Kanye West apologized for his anti-Semitic remarks and other behavior in a full-page ad he bought in the Wall Street Journal.
He said he, quote, lost touch with reality, regrets his actions, and is not a Nazi or anti-Semite.
Ye also apologized to the black community and said his wife encouraged him to get help after hitting rock bottom.
He says he now follows a treatment plan for his bipolar disorder, including medication, therapy, and clean living.
And of course, the timing is always a purpose.
The apology comes ahead of his new album, Bully, which is set to drop soon.
It's dropping.
The album's dropped.
First of all, it's dropping.
Pick it up.
Hey, what is that you dropped?
Pick it up.
So since we're on black people.
Well, I was on musicians, but okay.
And anti-Semites.
But okay, you want to, because I can stay with the anti-Semites as an anti-Semite.
Well, I got it.
But they're going after Candace.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They are.
Because she can't pronounce words and she keeps making these mistakes.
She's getting like, I'm thinking, well, maybe we can substitute her stuff for Reverend Al's, which is not quite as silly because it's usually single words.
And this one here, somebody put the on this website.
Oh, this is the compilation?
No, it's a compilation of one word.
She's trying to say compartmentalize.
Now, you can say compartmentalize.
Yeah.
Compartment, compartmentalize.
And you can say it.
And after you listen to this, you will never be able to say it again because she keeps pronouncing it some crazy way.
And so it becomes what you're going to hear.
We want the CEO and the chairman of Turning Point USA to answer.
Okay.
Okay.
You got it.
If you can't compromentalize, then I don't see how you're going to be able to, we don't like them.
We don't agree with the industries they went into.
All of that can be true, but you have to be able to compromentalize that when you are looking at a case for long before this ever broke out between her and Justin Baldani.
Now we have to compromentalize.
Blake Lively is not a good person.
We're Donald Trump from the hashtag Me Too movement.
It is very important to compromentalize how you feel about somebody personally from how you are compromentalize.
To compromentalize that.
Compromise.
Compromentalize, compromentalize.
Compromise.
That's so low.
I mean, so it was compromentalize.
Okay.
Now I have to say it that way.
Compromise.
It's hard to go back to compartmentalize.
Compartmentalize.
Well, I know you got this clip as well.
I just had to play it because it was just so, so crazy.
Speaking of Turning Point USA, I know you yelled at the person who sent this clip to us, but I'm like, oh, I'm going to clip that.
That's good.
This is the Arizona RNC committee woman.
And this has to be Liz Harris is her name.
And this has to be from a couple of years ago, I'm thinking, because she talks about TP USA as if Charlie Kirk is still alive.
So maybe a year ago.
But just so you know, almost out, baby.
All of it.
The other very delicate thing we have going on is all the stuff with Israel.
Now, Baylor is Jewish.
Greger is Jewish.
Like, when I say Jewish, I mean, like, not they're very Jewish, meaning very gold.
Super digital.
Connecting Dots: OG Edition00:04:44
Like, there's so many names I can throw out that I do believe.
I do believe.
When we look at that turning point and we look at, we look at all of this, I do see Lossad, I see.
I see.
Again, there's so many other things where I'm connecting dots.
I'm connecting dots.
I think Alex Jones is controlled by them.
Charlie Kirk's controlled by them.
There you go.
Steve Bannon.
Missy Bannon.
I can't believe nobody's killed me.
I really can't.
That's the best.
I have no idea why.
Because God is protecting right now.
There's a lot of people that are existing right now, but nobody gets to do anything unless God gives it permission.
And I'm with you, Liz.
I mean, I've already had people show up to my door from what I've exposed, but I'm still alive.
Man, John, we're lucky to be alive.
You know, with all the things we've exposed, shapeshift.
Yeah, but we do it from an objective.
We're so objective in the middle of everything that we don't draw attention to ourselves because we're not taking political positions.
No, the reason.
We're just showing what a bunch of boneheads everyone is.
And everyone, that includes stupid stuff.
Trump, by the way, I did catch a Trump clip.
I think it's on here.
I think the reason is because we don't do video.
If you do video, that's when people clip you and you get mocked.
Maybe.
We probably, well, we are OG.
By the way, Trump used the term OG recently.
Oh, no.
We're OG podcasters, which is an audio format that was developed largely by you, the originator.
And it doesn't include videos.
It's YouTube.
It requires all kinds of, it costs more.
Yes.
Yes.
We're trying to keep costs low.
Like running stuff.
So here we are, especially with today's donations.
Trying to run stuff on Linux, you know, so we don't have to pay for other things.
Yeah, he's running stuff on this, how bad it's gotten.
Linux.
It's supposed to be an upgrade.
I'm working on it.
All right.
What's your Trump clip?
Unfortunately, I spelled Trump Trump.
Yeah.
But this is a little subtlety that I caught.
I had to be like, what?
Wait, wait a minute.
So just play this clip and then we'll talk about it.
Most than most administrations achieve.
Oh, wait, let's stop the clip.
This is from he's now, he's got a new speech.
He's rolling out every city once a week.
This is his Iowa speech.
This is his initial version.
He's going to be developing material, stand-up material, and as it goes along about, I'd say, six or seven weeks into it, since it's kind of like, you know, workshopping it, he will have some good jokes.
Oh, he's doing the comedy circuit.
He's doing the comedy circuit.
So in about five, I think in about five weeks, about a month from now, we'll be able to clip stuff that's funny.
Worse than most administrations achieve in four years or eight years.
We've done a lot.
I've recently introduced my plan to repair the damage of the Unaffordable Care Act, the worst disaster, which now costs many families more than a mortgage.
If you look, it's a number came out, bigger cost than a mortgage, and it's bad health care.
Obamacare was created to make insurance companies rich with government subsidies.
I want all that money that gets paid to the insurance companies to get paid directly to the people.
That's all I want.
And what?
The Unaffordable Care Act?
He's been saying that for weeks.
Has he?
Because this is the first time I noticed that he slips it in as though that's the term for it.
He's been doing that for a long time.
Okay, I just, I haven't caught it.
I guess I'm not.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fabulous.
Buffaloed.
Buffaloed.
Yep.
Well, we do have a few people to thank, despite my ignoring Trump saying unaffordable care act, which is funny.
We have a few people to thank $50 and up, and Adam's going to read them off one by one and see if he can see the difference between Mississippi and Missouri.
Oh, okay.
Sir Hugger of Kitties comes in at the top of this list, 123.45, and he says more cat memes brings more hugs.
Hug More Kitties and Health Karma for my aunt.
Yes, soon to be from the free state of Alberta and for my dad, whose name is Albert.

I'm missing.
I'm missing.
Yes, I'm noticing this too.
Uh-oh, where is our Archduke of Luna?
Well, you know, he's going to be doing it every show.
So something was a glitch.
There's a glitch in the.
Well, I hope he's okay.
No, he's fine.
We'll hear from him on the next show.
Anonymous is in Monrovia, Liberia, Washington, and wants to deduce it.
You've been deduced.
I've been listening since episode one.
West Africa, not Washington.
It says W.
Oh, you're right.
Liberia.
No, Western Australia.
No.
What is WA?
West Africa.
West Africa?
Yeah, Liberia.
Very famous place.
Okay, but you understand that that comes under the state column.
So this is my confusion.
Yeah, Liberia is the state, which is a country.
Yeah, but you could be a little nicer about it.
No, I'm just saying.
No, you're being aware of that.
That is West Africa, not West Australia.
The only reason I say this is because right at the top, there he mentions that you read the dedouching, but you didn't see the West Africa.
Okay.
You're a backseat donation driver.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm a backseat driver.
This is what you used to do to me.
Except I read them faster than you.
Yeah, well, I'm not going to deny that.
But after having two cataract surgeries.
Oh, oh, oh, I'm playing the tiny violin.
Anonymous from Monrovia, Liberia, West Africa.
There you go.
He's been listening since episode one and was just tired of being a douchebag.
Well, I think, you know, we need where are our African listeners?

We have a layaway night and a second night to bring up on the stage.
This is from Bob Ryda, who's been donating for 12 years, starting at $5 a month, working his way up to his current amount of $46.29.
So it's $11.11 plus 30.
He has a whole account.
And we trust you.
It's all in the honor system.
He says, don't ask for a note to be read, but just want to get one of those cool signet rings.
And, well, we're looking forward to sending that to you.
But first, we have to get you up on the podium along with your fellow night to be.
So there's my blade.
If you can grab it, there's a big one.
That's beautiful.
So Bob Ryder, jump on up along with Dalton Fisher.
Both of you supported the Noah General Show in the amount of $1,000 or more.
I am hereby very proud to pronounce KB as Sir Bob Ryder and Sir Dalton Fisher, the commander of content.
Yes, both of you, gentlemen, get ready for this wonderful list of goodies we have at the roundtable.
We've got Hookers and Blow, Red Boys and Chardonnay, PlayStation 2, and PT Scotch.
Oh, but that's not all.
We've got much more for you.
We've got Ruminess, Women, and Rose, engage in the sake, vacuum, bongots, and bourbon, ginger ale and gerbils, breast milk and pablum, sparkling cider and escorts.
And of course, as always, the mutton and meat is right there for you.

Yes, that beautiful signet ring is waiting there for you.
All you have to do is give us your ring size.
There's a ring sizing guide on the website.
And as always, it is accompanied with some sticks of wax for you to seal your important correspondence with, just like the queen does in The Crown, which we've been watching.
Well, it's season four now.
Boy, that lady died puked a lot.
It's very annoying in that series.
Poor girl.
There you go.
What?
The crown?
Yeah, the crown.
Yeah.
We're in like a historical thing.
So the crown.
Yeah.
Charles, man.
That guy, he never loved her.
He never loved her.
He was a douchebag.
Douchebag.
No one.
Shut up.
Be up.
Yeah, they are taking place everywhere.
Important ones coming up this weekend.
But first, we have one today, which kicks off at 6 o'clock.
It is the North Georgia Quarterly Meetup at Cherry Street Brewing, Alphreda, Georgia.
And then on Saturday up in the Los Angeles area, Flight of the No Agendas, number 71 already, 11 in the morning at Marina Cafe in Wilmington, California.

Well, I don't know.
Maybe Brandon might show up.
Do you have a chaperone?
Are you just going by yourself?
Do you have a bodyguard?
You need a bodyguard, man.
You need someone to look out for.
You need a handler.
You need a handler.
A handler, you know, I don't need that either.
Sunday, which is February 1st, this is the climate change alert.
This is the changed meetup, the Indiana Still Shiny New Year meetup.
That'll be at St. Joseph's Brewery and Public House in Indianapolis, Indiana.
That's Dame Maria and Sir Marcus Greenwood.
That got canceled due to weather, but it's rescheduled.
Also on Sunday, the Central Jersey meetup.

Maybe edition.
That is 3 o'clock, and that will be at 3BR Distillery in Keyport, New Jersey.
Many more coming up this month.
Let me see.
We got Raleigh.
We got Mount Laurel.
It's New Jersey.
Eagle Idaho, Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, Longview, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina.

We have some pretty nice end of show mixes, some semi-toe tappers for you.
And we always like to play a couple of end-of-show ISOs here for you.
This is the continuing, are these the same thing?
List Your Event00:04:03
No.
Continuing contest that John and I have.
It is Man Against the Machine.
John is still using his free account on 11 Labs.
Let's see.
You put these in abeyance, I think, because mine just killed last show.
So do you want to hear mine?
I'm not a good one.
Do you want to hear mine again or do you want to?
Yeah, go for it.
Enough to make sense.
No, I think one of these next two is a possibility.
Oh, that's very beautiful.
Thank you.
It's our buddy Scott.
One more from him?
Wow.
That's amazing.
Come on.
I got that same one.
Really?
Wow.
Yeah, play is so amazing.
Yeah.
Wow.
How about that?
That's amazing.
Well, I think that has to be the one.
No, it doesn't.
Your other ones are four seconds.
They're too long.
Okay, let's go.
That's the first joint pick.
It's a joint pick, everybody.
And you'll hear it.
But first, John's tip of the day.
Great advice for you and me.
Just the tip with JCD.
And sometimes Adam.
All right, I'm kind of family forced to promote this product.
My wife is, I think a lot of women are, obsessed with pressure washers.
They are handy things to have.
Yeah.
And she said four of these types, which are, I mean, the gas ones, which are the ones that can clean the driveways, get the moss off.
Yeah.
You know, after winter, these aren't as necessary in California as there are places like Washington.
But there is an electric pressure washer she thinks is the best thing she's ever run into.
It doesn't have the high pressure of a gasoline one, but it's perfect for like wood decks and furniture, patio furniture and things outside where you don't want to blow the paint off stuff.
These things or rip up the deck, which is what they'll do with it.
These things are pretty expensive typically, aren't they?
$179.
Okay.
And it's not expensive.
And it's high pressure, but not too high pressure.
It's 20.
The pressure.
No, it's not.
The electric ones are not as high pressure as the gasoline ones.
But the convenience of the electric, you just hook a hose up to it.
You flip a switch.
It's going.
You flip a switch.
You go take a break.
You flip it.
You have to start it and start it and pull and get the thing going.
And then you got to turn it off.
It's a pain in the ass.
Yeah, it's horrible.
You have to be serious when you're using a gas one.
With the electric one, it's like a flip a switch to do it.
This is the Westinghouse WPX 2300E for electric.
The Westinghouse WPX 2300E.
And it should be mentioned that most of these things fall apart.
They're poorly made.
She believes this to be one that will hold up for season after season for years and years as opposed to breaking the second year you have it.
Can you use it on protesters, like the videos where they get a picture of it?
You could use a protester.
You use it on your car.
But protesters would be good.
But the fire hose is better.
If you have a fire hose, that's what you want.
All right.
Well, but will it clean like tire stuff off of the men?
No, it's good for all that stuff.
It has a little container.
You can put soap in it, actually.
But then I think I'm in the market for one of these.
I think you could get one of these and it would, it's good for cleaning the car.
It's not going to rip off the paint.
It's easy to use.
It's small.
It's not a big monstrous thing like a regular pressure washer.
They're huge.
That's crazy.
It's a genius device.
It sounds like it sounds like a winner, John.
It is.
It's a winner.
There it is.
And more winners can be found at noagendafund.com.
A Winner, John00:03:26
Tipoftheday.net.
Great bus for you and me.
Just with JCD and sometimes at all.
Created by Dana Bernetti.
Yes, all right.
Hey, everybody.
You know what?
I gotta do a quick karma for Nick the Rat here.
Hold on a second.
You've got karma.
He's up next on the No Agenda stream.
The New York City economy apparently has gotten to him there in the sewer.
And so his latest episode will be up next on the No Agenda stream if you're listening live.
End of show mixes coming to you from MVP and Gary Youngling with a classic.
Sometimes they just never go out of style.
It's amazing how that works.
And we will return at our regularly scheduled time, which will be, gosh, Sunday.
We'll do another three and a half hours for you, whatever it takes to bring the world into focus for you, deconstruct the media, and show you how they do it and how dumb it all really is.
We love doing it.
Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg, Texas in the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, well, I'll be in Oakland on Saturday.
I'm John C. DeVora.
That's right.
Go visit John in Oakland Saturday, 3.33 p.m.
Until then, remember us, please.
Noagendadonations.com.
Until then, a Sunday that is adios, mofos, hooey, hooey, and such.
V.I.P. Let's kick it!
All right, stop.
Open The Pokers And In They'll Float00:02:32
It's my boy to your cross.
Ice is back with a brand new detention.
Onto your kids, I'll hold tightly.
Pack them in cages daily and nightly.
Yo, I don't know.
Open the pokers and in they'll float.
Extreme left throwing rocks like vandals.
Effigy Trump burning up like a candle.
Momental speakers at nine.
Maxine water calls you all under mine.
Crazy?
What about Obama?
You know he started all that drama.
Dimension B, full of symmetry.
Old meat hit calling it a free.
If there's a problem, they'll never solve it.
Check the fake news and 5M revolves it.
About Major Tom.
Please order him to put a condom on.
My heart is redlining the tech.
The major got his lips on the curves of my deck.
He's stripped off an old map.
He's discarded the mass of straight.
While the cold of the back of me still lays and tingles my tape, erect as a missile before long, stressing deep in the dark.
Every thought is an explosion, a blinding electrical cord.
Whichever guy is weightless strong, spinning free in the bay.
And I'm here to Houston.
I'm getting ahead spinning late.
Oh, he's taking command of these spots.
He's breaching my cord.
I'm a supernova streamer.
And I'm begging for mine through the wet, heavy friction.
