1826: Sauerkraut Kid

It's got a big knob! Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, December 18, 2025. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1826. This is no agenda. The big cycle is back! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where the oil refineries are leaving California, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Well, that wasn't spectacular news. We know they're leaving. It sucks. California sucks. No one wants to be there anymore except you. Yeah, I love it here. For some reason. I see on the quad screens as we speak, President Trump has reclassified marijuana. As what? As good for your breakfast.

I think he did this with an executive order. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, kids. Well, you know, he's such a Tito. I just like you to be neutral on the whole thing. Hey kids, vote for me. Vote for me. Free weed. Free weed, kids. That's the only thing I can think of. Well, look, RFK Jr. is there. So it's about, you know, the medicinal properties and goodness of marijuana. Which I can attest to. Yeah, you can. For well over, I think for 47 years, I felt very good from smoking weed. But I got real productive once I stopped. It's pretty amazing how that works. Huh. Yeah, I got... Shocker. I got super productive. You know, I have this quad screen. Do you ever watch the quad screen on YouTube TV? Yeah. So they make it hard to find.

It's always... You can put them together if you look at the bottom of the menus. You can make your own quad screens. Oh, well, all I have tried to do that. Yeah, I've done a number of times, but that option only showed up once. And I like the Fox, CNN, MSNOW, BBC screen. But, you know, they'll they'll put it seven levels down. So you got to scroll down and then sometimes they'll mix it up. Like, oh, here, try some sports quad screens. Most of his sports squad, quad screen. Yeah, but that's where it came from but I like the news quad I think it's because they don't want me to do it. They they don't cuz it's probably it's four streams Maybe it's yeah, of course it is. They hate me. They hate me because of it Yeah, that curry guy keeps using this feature we got here. That's Google by the way I got a cool scam call from Google. You got a scam call from it wasn't from Google. Yes, so my phone rang it showed up as Google in the

in the screen, which I thought was... It says Google, right? It says Google, yeah. And of course, right away I knew this can never be Google because Google doesn't call anybody ever. Ever. And you can't call them. No. So I answered and it's a machine saying, you know, we have an illegal login from Toronto. If this was you, you can hang up. If it wasn't you, press one. I'm like, I'm in a good mood. One. A representative will call you back. Okay, ooh, that's plus mm-hmm. And so maybe a minute later I get a call from also from a 650 number which the first one was 650 as well But this didn't have didn't say Google so that was a little minus point and I and I'm and I'm kicking myself I should have recorded it a very well-spoken young lady on the phone

and she was from Google safety and security team and you know we see this log in. Was that you? I said, no, it wasn't from Toronto. And she had my phone number and she had my adammccurry.com email address. Right. There's the dossier and everybody. And it floats around so they all have it. So don't be surprised. Nova should never be surprised that they have your address. So I just, no, of course not. So I just wanted to see how far we could go. But it was not like some Indian chappie, you know. It sounded like a white woman. So it wasn't some Indian guy named Steve? No, no, no. And she was very pleasant as we understand Mr. Curry. And yeah, let's get this resolved. And I said, well, did they get my password? She says, no, they didn't get your password. Because I see you have a

two-factor authentication on your account. Okay. Say, well good, thanks for keeping me safe. See, the only thing we need to do is we need to, because this person keeps opening tickets in our trouble ticket system, we need you to close it out. Oh, okay. This is a good one. I haven't, I've not, this is a, this is a very creative. So how do I do that? I want you to go to the following address sites. It's always here. Here we go. Hello. Sites.google.com slash close dash ticket. I'm like, and I say to her, yeah, but that's just where you can host a public website on, on Google. I mean that, that doesn't sound very official.

He said, did you type it in? I said, yeah, I did. Okay, now can you close the ticket? I said, I can't. He says, oh, why not? I have a login screen. Oh, yeah, just log in. I'm like, that doesn't seem like a good idea, ma'am. Like, if this is just a public website, then you might capture my email address and my password. I like the use of sites.google.com because it does, because if you're naive about it, it gives you confidence. Because it's got google.com in there, even though it's like some obvious. I said, well, you know, maybe you should show me that you're really from Google. Well, I just sent you an email with your code. So I look at my email, there's a

from no-reply at google.com. Okay, it's spoofed. I didn't look at the headers, but I knew it was spoofed. And no link to do anything with it. Okay, I got a code. So now can you close out the ticket with that code? Yeah, but I'm not going to log in to sites.google.com. And I said, what email address did you send this to? To adammccurry.com. She said, that's not my Google email, my Gmail address. Well, yes it is. I said, no. Yes, you have your site hosted by Google Workspace. Okay, so now she's in deep water. Because I don't, obviously. In fact, I've been very careful never to link my adammccurry.com to Gmail or anything like that.

I said, but it's not. Yes, it is. She's arguing with me now. Yes, your site is hosted by Google Workspace. I see the MX record. Whoa! Now that's sophisticated. I said, so you, yes, I see the MX record has our email servers. Now, This is not true. And I read her the MX record as I pull it up. I said, you know what? I'll make it OK with you. Just send me an email from you at a google.com email address, not Gmail or Google, and then I'd be more inclined to believe you. Now, at that point, we're 15, 20 minutes in, she hung up.

But for... Oh, she just hung up. Yes, oh yeah, just disconnected. Didn't even say, you a-hole. Yeah, she probably kicked herself for talking to you at all. She didn't say you a-hole or anything. Oh, I like it when they cuss you out. Yeah, no, she just gave up. But in general, I'd say it's pretty sophisticated. That sounds pretty good, yeah. I like that one. From a confidence... And I like the sites.google.com, excellent, excellent work. Yeah, good work foiled again, but man, it just shows you how crap everything is. It really, everything sucks. The whole internet, everything just blows. It always has.

It's gotten worse. It's the beginning of Usenet since they banned advertising. Here we go. It started with Usenet. They let advertisers in. That's where it all started. Oh man. So we have a couple things we can address right off the bat. I would suggest either, since you have a three by three, Maybe we should start with with Wiles because I think that yeah, this is kind of cute. This is Susie Wiles Let me play the jingle for now. It's time for three by three experiment by JCB comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC

I'm sure you do because I do too everybody does everybody's got thoughts and the thing is is like was this a plant was this done on purpose was Susie Wells naive because everybody goes around the table saying, well, she should have known better to talk to Vanity Fair. They're out to they're just a bunch of screwballs that hate Republicans and she shouldn't have done the interview. And then somebody else brings up what she got. She did 11 interviews. It wasn't just one. No, it was almost a year. I think she was talking to him. So she's yacking away for a while. And then and then nobody stabbed her in the back after the thing came out, which was Kelly McEnany said that most remarkable thing was typically when they

When somebody is wounded in one of these hit pieces, a bunch of stuff starts showing up about it. People behind the scenes say, yeah, she's worse than that. If you bap, bap, bap, bap, bap. And none of that occurred, so she thought that was pretty good, which makes me think the whole thing is an op. And then you had comeback lines from both J.D. Vance and Trump that were stunners. Yeah. And I mean, Trump's was the best. But J.D. Vance's little thing on conspiracy theories is fabulous. Well, can I just frame this for a moment? Because it's vanity, vanity fair.

The editor, global editorial director, Mark Guiducci, born in America but educated in London, considers himself to be British-Polish as part of his background. He has the global mandate as global editorial director. And under Gwoduch's leadership, Vanity Fair has leaned back into its roots as the primary chronicler of British monarchy for an American audience. The Royal Watch tradition. Where did you get that quote? From Google. Oh. Well, that's okay. So yes, I can appreciate that. North Sea Nexus. Yeah, boom. Hit job. Total hit. But remember, he's under Anna Wintour's oversight.

She's the worst. Teen Vogue became a Marxist magazine. They had to fold it finally. LGBTQ nut job magazine. Well mostly, but Marxist. They actually had articles on why Marxism is great in Teen Vogue. To me this is a typical North Sea Nexus hit job. Yeah, but I don't think it worked. No, but it was a long game though. Long game. Yeah, it's just one of those things, you throw this stuff, you just pile on. So the media, or the mainstream 3x3 people, they're not totally in the bag for it.

But and it's semi-balanced, but let's listen to let's listen to these three networks talk about the same thing starting with ABC. She is President Trump's most powerful and trusted aide, more comfortable behind the scenes than in the spotlight. Suzy likes to stay sort of in the back, let me tell you. The ice baby, we call her the ice baby. But tonight, White House Chief of Staff Suzy Wiles pulling back the curtain in an extraordinary series of interviews with Vanity Fair. Wiles, who says her father was an alcoholic, describes her boss, the president, as having an alcoholic's personality, noting that Trump, who does not drink, operates with the view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing. Zero. Nothing.

Wiles also has choice words for Vice President J.D. Vance. Discussing the push to release the FBI files into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Wiles says Vance has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. Vance today responding. Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. Wiles also points a finger at Attorney General Pam Bondi. Wow, they didn't play the whole bit where he said he talked about the different conspiracy theories. That's shoddy. No, the whole bit where he goes on on Biden, he gave him an opportunity to go off. Yeah, yeah. It was momentous and the networks of course... No, no, we're not going to play that. We can't play that. They're not going to play that. Wiles also points a finger at Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying Bondi completely whiffed her handling of demands to release the files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wiles telling Vanity Fair there is no client list and it sure as hell wasn't on Bondi's desk.

She does acknowledge the president himself is in the Epstein files, but not doing anything awful. She says the two men were sort of young single playboys together. I never went to the island and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. She also says this claim about Clinton is not true. Wiles telling Vanity Fair there is no evidence Clinton ever visited Epstein's private island. And David Wiles also acknowledges that the president has sought retribution against some of his enemies, saying, quote, when there's an opportunity, he will go for it. Tonight, Wiles calls the article a disingenuously framed hit piece, though she doesn't deny saying these things. It warrants mentioning that Chris Whipple, Chris Whipple, Whipple, who did this article, he literally wrote the book on previous chiefs of staff.

So I think there was probably a little bit of pride or ego something going on there with Suzy Wiles. I forget what the book is called, but he went back and interviewed like 20 different chiefs of staff for presidents. And it was a well-received book, so he came with credentials. He had credentials, but doesn't mean even the most credentialed journalist will do a hit piece for money. Of course. That's what you do. Yes. You do it, I do it, you did it, you did it all the time. Well, you are you were the Mac hitman. I'm gonna shoot those Mac Mac. I was hired to to to do nasty pieces. A big on the masthead of that magazine said anti editor. Yes. How many people have ever held that title? You are an amazing man. Oh, yeah. It's astonishing.

We'll move alphabetical order, we'll go to CBS. Suzy Wiles offered a stunning assessment of the central characters in the White House, starting with her boss, saying President Trump has an alcoholic's personality. A notable comment from the daughter of NFL and CBS sports legend Pat Summerall, who famously struggled with alcoholism. He was a drunk! Wiles says Trump has a view that there's nothing he can't do. Nothing. Zero. Nothing. Wow. As for Vice President Vance, Wiles says he's been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. He made light of the comet today in Pennsylvania. Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. Wiles also had words for Elon Musk, which he called an avowed ketamine user. An odd, odd duck.

It's mostly just a lot of hard work. And she said she was initially aghast when Musk dismantled USAID as part of his cost-cutting Doge program. No rational person could think the USAID process was a good one, she said. Nobody. On the Jeffrey Epstein scandal that has dogged the White House, Wiles said the president wasn't telling the truth when he accused former President Bill Clinton of visiting the convicted sex offenders' private island. There's no evidence, she said. The president was wrong about that. The White House today tried to discredit author Chris Whipple who says he conducted 11 interviews with Wiles over the course of a year. This is unfortunately another example of disingenuous reporting where you have a reporter who took the chief of staff's words wildly out of context, did not include the context of those conversations

were had within. Wiles also pointed to moments where she tried unsuccessfully to change the president's mind. She urged him not to pardon the most violent offenders during the January 6th insurrection, to hold off on imposing massive tariffs on US allies this past spring, and to end his score settling against critics after 90 days in office. Wiles, who's popular across the administration and close with the president, called the article a quote, disingenuously framed hit piece. And what does the president make of all this? Well, he told the New York Post this afternoon, quote, she's done a fantastic job. So as a former hit hit man, hit piece writer, hired, hired gun, how does this work? Do you is do they just really pull quotes out of context? Because I can see where she might have said, well, J.D. Vance is a conspiracy theorist, but man, he's been right a couple of times.

Is that how it's done? You just take that piece and you put that in? Yeah, you just, it's selective editing. Citation. It's very common. I mean, I had a hit piece done on me, and I know why it was done. I've been doing hit pieces on you for 18 years. Yeah, but you're no good at it. Well, tell us about the, this is another story I don't know. Tell us about the hit piece. I had written a very nasty remark, some nasty remarks about Negroponte. Negroponte? No, not that Negroponte. Nicholas? No, the one that was running the MIT Media Lab. Nicholas, Nicholas Negroponte. Nicholas. I wrote a scathing article about the whole lab being a big phony baloney operation.

And I put it, it was in the Deck Professional, a very minor magazine, you know, only the aficionados read. And Negroponte ended up at some position or other at Wired. Mm-hmm. I remember that. I remember that, yeah. So to get back at me, he had Paulina Borsuk do a hit piece on me. And what was the hit piece? What did it say? Well, Polina could never pull it off. I took her, I wined and dined her, I took her to a, she's a vegan or vegetarian, I took her to a vegetarian restaurant to talk over some of the stuff. I just, I did, I can put on a charm offensive.

But did you know she was going to write a hit piece? No, it was she was she I think she hinted at me that she was she was writing a hit piece. Well, that's not right. No, no, it was it didn't work out. And they try and the piece was it was semi successful in a couple of moments. But it didn't get didn't do it. It didn't we was it's actually big became a pretty compliment. Let me guess It's like he was wrong about the mouse. He was wrong about the iPad. He's no good It was it wasn't like it was similar, but it was it but it was in what they ran it as a as a profile and wired and

And they brought out a photographer to make me look like an idiot. He wanted me to do something. And by the way, this is for anybody who wants a profile done. Put on the clown nose. It'll be great. I didn't for anybody out there, you know this more than anybody probably, but you have to when you're having your photo taken for some article or something, do not let the photographer badger you into stupid stuff. Yeah. Why don't you say no? Why don't you hold this this mouse upside down? It'll look great in the shot. Can you stick your tongue out? Yeah. Oh, there's a there's another good one. Yes Can you stick your tongue out? Look really surprised so So I avoided that part of it. No good for you. So the East I still got he's still got a funny picture of me But it was okay. I like actually it was so interesting the photo I had them send me a copy so

So, um... All right, back to the hit piece from Vanity Fair. So this, so yes, it's very easy to do. It's, you know, it doesn't take a... If you're going to do 11 interviews, you can get more than enough material to do a beautiful hit piece. They never needed to do a hit piece on you. Just rerun the YouTube video of you trying to put that IBM PC back together. That's my favorite. It's a PS2. It should work. Hold on a second. I just need a screwdriver and a soldering iron. I can do this. It should fit. No, they all snap back into place with dynamite. Except that one. It's a great clip. Hey, if that's all that you did wrong.

You know, beside the mouse and iPad thing. In terms of, I'll give you another story about me. So David Renson, who used to do these profiles, he used to be the writer for Playboy magazine. And somehow along the lines when I was cranking out all these books, Rensen got... I was targeted to be profiled by PC Magazine... I'm sorry, by Playboy in this 40 questions. They had some gimmicky thing called 20 questions or something. I forgot what... It was years ago. It's like you think you're going to be the main interview, but you're not. I don't know what, it doesn't matter. Because Renson comes over and we end up talking about writing and all kinds of stuff and eventually it turns out, which I told him, I said, I'm actually kind of boring for this sort of article. It's not gonna be very good. And he agreed. He agreed. It never got written up and it was fine with me.

Alright, I got some clips on this too, so let's play NBC and see if they had the same story. Same story, same clip. Okay, here we go. Remarkably revealing comments about President Trump from his chief of staff, Susie Wiles. A relationship so close, the president recently suggested she's part of the family. Do you know Susie Trump? Sometimes referred to as Suzy Wiles, Suzy Trump. But tonight she's facing new scrutiny for a series of interviews with Vanity Fair about criticism the president is targeting perceived political enemies. Wiles says, I don't think he wakes up thinking about retribution, but when there's an opportunity, he will go for it. She also says President Trump, who does not drink, has an alcoholic's personality. fifth

and and So first I want to play some of those actual JD Vance quotes because they were funny. And of course no one picked it up.

But here's his full answer. They literally cut this part out in that NBC piece. Well, first of all, if Susie... I'll trust what you said. I haven't looked at the article. I, of course, have heard about it. But conspiracy theorists... That was very slick. I think that's very slick, what he said there. Yeah, he's good. Because most of them say, I haven't read the article. Which of course he has, but instead he says, I'm familiar with it. I haven't read the article, I'm a busy man, I'm vice president. But of course I'm familiar with it. That is the way you address that. Instead of saying, I poured over and over my cornflakes, which you know he did, because of course you did. I'll trust what you said. I haven't looked at the article, I of course have heard about it. But conspiracy theorists

Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe in the conspiracy theories that are true. Crowd goes wild. And by the way, Susie and I have joked in private and in public about that for a long time. For example, I believed in the crazy conspiracy theory back in 2020, that it was stupid to mask three year olds at the height of the COVID pandemic, that we should actually let them develop some language skills. I believed in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was clearly unable to do the job.

And I believed in the conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was trying to throw his political opponents in jail rather than win an argument against his political opponents. So at least on some of these conspiracy theories, it turns out that a conspiracy theory is just something that was true six months before the media admitted it. And that's my understanding. It was good. It was excellent. Yeah, I thought it was very good. But of course, that never saw the light of day. Who cares? Jen Psaki had an interesting comment in her...

Has anyone watched that show? Do we even know when it's on? No, pretty much. The only people who have watched the show are gut-filled. Well, here we go. Let me start with this. There is a little-known tradition in Washington. Whenever a new administration takes office, the new president's incoming chief of staff has dinner with all the previous chiefs of staff, usually one of them hosted at their house or at a restaurant or whatever it may be. And chiefs of staff from both parties attend. And they all do this so that they can offer advice to the new incoming chief of staff on how to prepare for the role. It's kind of a nice tradition through multiple different administrations of both parties. Everyone on MSNBC, you'll hear a couple more, they all sound sick. There's a bug going around at NBC.

They're sick. You'll hear... That could be. Yeah, they're all sick. And when Trump won the election last year, his new chief of staff, Susie Wiles, reportedly attended one of those dinners too. They each went around the table giving her tips as they normally do for how to do the job. And when they got to Trump's first chief of staff, Ryan's previous, he had just one piece of advice for Suzy Wiles, just one. He told her quote, don't talk to Whipple. Yeah, well there you go. She was warned. She was warned. Now I have to add. I have to add that is funny. Yeah, it's very funny. I have to add.

At the behest of the troll room, we have to say that Suzy Wiles worked for Netanyahu, so it's possible she's a Mossad agent and is trying single-handedly to bring down the president. Just have to mention that. So don't talk to Whipple. Well, the person who did talk to Whipple is our own British agent Anderson Pooper. Joining me now is Chris Whipple in his first broadcast interview since his two-part Vanity Fair piece landed. He's also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Gatekeepers. It landed like a lead balloon. The White House chiefs of staff define every presidency. Chris, thanks for being with us. Great to be here. Lots to talk about. First of all, of all the things Switzie Wiles told you, what surprised you the most?

You know, Anderson, this was one of those cases as a reporter in your career when lightning strikes. And it was astonishing to me the extent to which she was unguarded and freewheeling on the record all the time. I've covered, as you know, I wrote a book about the Biden White House where everybody was on deep background requiring quote approval. Quite the opposite in this case. Susie Wiles in 11 interviews over 11 months. That's how many there were? 11 interviews over 11 months? 11 in-depth interviews in which she was on the record. Everything in the article was on the record. Were you recording every interview? I recorded every interview. Even ones that weren't on the phone? There was one where she was doing laundry, apparently. Yeah, everything is on tape. Did she know this was for Vanity Fair? Did she think this was for a long-term book?

that you were doing? She knew I was working on a book at the outset. When I told her that Vanity Fair had agreed to do a piece, to publish a piece, she was all in and enthusiastic about it. Okay, so show some transparency from the Trump White House. Yeah, I'm doing laundry. You can talk to me, Whipple. No problem. Why? Because she is legendarily averse to being out front. That's why I say that this was lightning striking. It's amazing to me. First of all, I think that she is the most fascinating person in American politics, not only because she ran a brilliant campaign and brought Trump back from the dead to win the 2024 election. She's the first female White House chief of staff.

But in addition, she's kind of the Greta Garbo of White House chiefs. She's never on camera, rarely on camera, hardly ever gives interviews, and yet she did. I think it's because, all I can tell you is what she told me. She felt the Trump 1.0 had been unfairly covered, that Trump was vilified. During the first administration. During the first administration. She wanted a fair hearing and I think she thought she would get one. Yeah, she thought she would get one. She thought she would get one. Yes. Now, in this next clip, he slips up and the truth comes out. Here's the fascinating thing, and that is not only is there this amazing 11-month journey that I document of Suzy Wiles through this whole period, but it really goes all the way back to her childhood and her famous father, Pat Summerall.

who was an alcoholic. She organized interventions with her mother to get treatment for him. He was sober for 21 years, but she learned how to deal with difficult men. It is a fascinating data point that I mean I certainly didn't know about her that you know adult children of you know people who grew up with alcoholics are, I mean she's in sort of the perfect job. I mean it sort of makes sense that what she learned as a little girl. Hey, you learned how to deal with a drunk you can deal with Trump. Girl and throughout her life dealing with him. And Trump is owning it. Trump is wearing it in effect as a kind of badge of honor. He's saying what she meant when she said that he has an alcoholic personality is not that he's a drinker, we know that he's not, but that he has this grandiose

personality, he believes that there is nothing, as she put it, nothing that he doesn't think he can do. She is saying Susie Wiles pushed back on the story on social media saying quote significant context was disregarded. Actually so that was a funny bit but that wasn't the clip with the slip-up it's the last one here and you'll hear it. Here's the fascinating thing and that is not only is there... Wait, isn't that the same clip? Wait a minute. That doesn't make sense. This is so good. She is saying Susie Wiles pushed back saying stuff it crap. Maybe it's in this one. One of the things the White House is saying things were taken out of context wildly out of context was was the quote of of of Levitt are things that are taken out of context because some of the quotes are they're tight. I mean, they're just everything. What does that even mean in in writer speak? Some of the quotes they're tight. What does that mean?

doesn't mean anything. Okay. Are things taken out of context? Because some of the quotes are, they're tight. I mean, they're just, it's like everything is, was scrupulously in context. And I got to tell you, the giveaway when you're a journalist and you hear your target, the subject, There it is beautiful if you're going for a hit job. You don't have a subject you have a target Yeah, he admits it right there. Yeah, you caught that that you get in fact you get a borderline clip of the day for catching that that's beautiful I was finished this clip

It's out of taking out of context because some of the quotes are they're tight I mean, they're just it's like everything is was scrupulously in context and and I got to tell you the giveaway when you're a journalist and you hear your target the subject saying talking about things like context and omissions is You know you're on the right track because there isn't a single fact or a single assertion that they've challenged in the piece It really reminds me of the Watergate days when Ben Bradley said talked about non-denial denial So this is the ultimate non-denial. They're not really attacking. Well. I never absolutely never said that although you give us some context on this the non-denial I looked it up and non-denial denial is that some kind of

What's the trouble? I have no idea. This is all news to me. Oh. I mean, what he's saying there, you know, yes, if somebody, if you say, well, I think that really sucks, but then again, it might not suck. And then the quote is, that really sucks. Yeah, I did say that. And so you can't deny it, but the non-denial denial, whatever the hell that phrase is, you could say it's out of context. Because I also said, I also said, but sometimes it doesn't suck. Or whatever, I mean this is the kind of thing when you take selective quotations and you just pull them, this is why sarcasm is a bad idea on podcasts.

Or or even in in in conversation or anywhere where you're being interviewed? They'll take the sarcastic bit does just take the remark and then and it without the sarcastic tone if it's played flat I mean Tucker Carlson has all kinds of good quotes if you don't know if they're taken out of context, and they're not played as sarcasm I can't do it. I've lost it. You lost it. I lost it. If they're taken as a direct quote rather than sarcasm, it can make you sound terrible, like a terrible person. Let's finish this clip. Suzy Wiles did at one point say that she denied saying that Elon Musk is an avowed ketamine user.

But you then apparently, according to the report, you played a tape for the New York Times which confirmed that quote. It's on tape as is every assertion that Susie made. And as you know, I interviewed the inner circle as well. I talked to J.D. Vance, I talked to Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller and others. All of it taped. All of it on the record. And the giveaway is that they haven't been able to challenge a single fact. Are you surprised that the president is not, apparently it seems, but at least publicly, not angry with Wiles? Well here's the other thing. As you say, it's not very often that you get an endorsement of your quotation from the president. You know, he... The alcoholic personality. Yeah, he evidently wears that as a badge of honor. Yes. Wonderful.

Hate to do this, but it is worth it for the entertainment purposes. I'm sorry Here's your warning the tone a clip from the view will be played shelter in place But Susie Wiles calls the article quote disingenuously framed hit piece with significant context disregard context, but When they asked the first question and you knew it was a question that I was hit piece with shit, why did you answer it? I know. One thing that I forgot to add, she called Elon Musk an odd duck and an avowed ketamine user. He sleeps in a sleeping bag. But then she added that she has no personal knowledge of the ketamine use, but she did call him an avowed ketamine user. But why does he sleep in this? He's a multi-trillionaire and he sleeps in a sleeping bag. Because he's an odd duck. He's a very odd duck. He is an odd duck. I would agree with that assessment.

Is there something wrong with sleeping in a sleeping bag? No, well no, I guess fine, whatever. I'm just curious. If that's what he wants to do, who am I to judge? He's a kabillionaire. Yeah, he is, I know. You know, it's a very expensive sleeping bag. Were they not prepped? Were they not prepped for this? I mean, they don't seem to have any Any details? They don't have good jokes that go with it? I mean, this is a scripted show. I'm kind of surprised. It seems like they weren't in on the gag. Yeah, they obviously weren't read in on anything and they're just winging it and it's not good. No, it's not. Yeah, they like then they're picking on poor Musk. Odd ducky odd gee, that's a that's a horrible. What a thing to say about someone. He sleeps in a sleeping bag. He sleeps in a sleeping bag. You know, used to talk about Steve Jobs, the ascetic, who had this big mansion in Woodside that was empty.

And he walked around barefoot, eating a crouton, and that was it. Let the world know that there is an adult in the room. Yeah. That was also what this is. Yeah. See, I think it was strategic in a different way. I think she's trying to help him clean up his act. Because if she says, well, you know, it was just boys having fun. It's like, um, really? You know, oh, it was just, you know, this one didn't do what she was supposed to do. This one didn't. But I I'm on top of it all I'm watching it all I just think she says that it's interesting point She made that her father was an alcoholic and she understands the personality of an alcoholic So that's why she says he has an alcoholic personality, but he doesn't drink. He's a nice. He has a narcissistic disorder Yeah, that is really the what he had he responded to he was not offended

Wow. Okay, they're off the—they're not in the game anymore. They're out. This was a targeted, well-done, long game. It acknowledged hit piece because Suzy Wiles was the target. So, but I think that I think it was played both ways. I think Susie Wiles was aware of the situation as mentioned by the earlier clip where she was told not to talk to this guy. And the thing was kind of a setup because there's a bunch of setup lines in there I think one of them the most important one is yeah Trump Trump doesn't he says it's not true But if he's given the opportunity to take revenge on somebody he does it Which is an open threat to anyone who wants to go after Trump Because it all he says he's not into revenge

But there it is, he's into revenge, so you better beware. I think that was a message that was purposely put in there. And I think a lot of the stuff in there was purposely put in. He thinks he can do anything because he's, in other words, he can try anything. I think the whole thing was a scam. I think she was part of it. She's smart. Everyone says she's something of a genius in this regard. She played Whipple. And the whole thing is a benefit to Trump at the end of the day. There's lines by J.D. Vance that were almost prepared in advance. Yeah, yeah, good point. Even though he didn't read the article.

Yeah, even though he didn't have to because they already told him what was gonna happen. They're gonna go after you Vance for being a conspiracy theory. Here's your lines. So it was really a switcheroo where they all went nah and you know Whipple was probably like ah he's gonna call me a horrible person and my star will rise and I was like Whipple who? Yeah, that's possible. It is possible because some of the information in there was a bit threatening to the enemies. So last night the president spoke to the nation. I couldn't watch it. I tried watching it. I got through about five minutes. I said this is just another, just another, another

So forth and so on speech, I've heard it before. Well, there was some preamble that is interesting. As Tucker continues his worldwide podcast tour, he was on with Judge Knapp. Oh God, there's a comedy. She brings those old Fox buddies because you know... Judge Knapp. Knapp, Napolitano was working there when Tucker was there. So here's a short exchange that I caught yesterday. I was like hmm, interesting. Is Trump going to start a war in Venezuela?

I don't know. I don't know when this program airs, the one that we're on right now. We're live now and then it will be posted immediately. So right now, I don't know the answer. I've certainly been on the phone a lot about it. I have no power. I'm a podcaster, but I'm very interested. And so here's what I know so far, which is that members of Congress were briefed yesterday that a war is coming and it'll be announced in the address to the nation tonight at nine o'clock by the president. Who knows, by the way, if that will actually happen. I don't know.

And I never want to overstate what I know, which is pretty limited in general. But a member of Congress told me that this morning. OK, so let's just summarize. The word is out. The president is going to announce war with Venezuela tonight. That's why he asked for a network cut in. And this network cut in was significant on CBS. They were running the season finale of Survivor. You know, it's kind of a big deal. Yeah, that's a good time to do it. Yeah, so... For Trump, I mean, if you want to screw over CBS... So the question is, was this one of those, let's tell a few selective people this, or maybe one, let's see who, where it leaks out?

Because I think it was done on purpose not for not to see who let who did it who lets it leak out You definitely tell Tucker. Mm-hmm, but I think it was to get the audience to listen to the Trump spiel I agree that I was it was a what was a pre pre promotion promote. What do you call it? Promo, it was bait and switches what it was But it was pre-recorded obviously and and I think it was like okay, mr. President They're probably not going to give you more than 20 minutes before they realize you're not going to announce war against Venezuela. So you got to talk fast. Talk fast, talk fast, stick to the script. Hold on, you made an unbelievable point there. Whenever have we seen Trump talk 15 minutes? Never. Never? He'd go two hours if you give him a shot at it.

And it was, you know, you're right. That's exactly what happened. They're going to give you, you know, they're going to kill you here after, after 15 minutes, making a 15 minute promotional speech and get out. I think he made it 17. That's pretty much how far he got. 17 minutes. So, and it was, you know, Biden sucks. We're great. We're great. And we're giving $1,776 as a bonus to every, everyone in the Department of War. Well, that was nice. Yeah, that was cute. That was cute. Cute, cute. 1776. Get it? And don't worry because everything's gonna be great. Which, did we get the CPI print today yet? Because that's the way I took it is, oh inflation must be doing okay. Let me see. Let me see. I think it's around 2.93. So that's down. That's down.

Economists see a lot of, okay, alright, hold on a second, 2.7 and 2.6, well below expectations. He knew it. He knew what was coming. Yeah, well that numbers. Just a number. Of course it's just a number. It's all bullcrap. Money's not even real. The birds aren't real. Everything's fake. Hello? Yeah, but just stick to our script, man. Okay? Just roll with it. This is how this operates. Inflation is below 3% for the first time. Trump did it. He knew it. He knew that number was coming. Right at the beginning, Trump had the line, which always bothers me when he does this.

He says that inflation under Biden was the worst in 40 years, maybe the worst in history. Maybe. Which is like, anybody who's older than, I don't know, what was the late 70s, during the 70s when the stock market crashed in 69 and during the 1970s, 20%! Yeah. I mean, I remember in 19... let's see, we bought a house in New Jersey in 1991, I think? No, maybe 1990. I was paying, I think, 10% interest on my mortgage. And that was low. Interest rates on mortgages went to 18% to 21% by the end of the Carter administration. Yes.

So yeah, I don't like that either. So I was like, but when he says maybe, okay, that's yeah, but just he knows better. He was there for the inflation of Jimmy Carter. He was there for the crash of 32. What are you talking about? He was there for all of it. He's been around. So he has to stop doing that. So then we get the, um, Just sticking with the North Sea Nexus for a moment, then we get the blockade because we're not going to war but what are we doing? Welcome back to live now from Fox. I'm Shauna Calafi with some breaking news I only chose her because she actually read part of his truth post from President Trump. He is ordering a blockade of all

all sanctioned oil tankers into Venezuela ramping up pressure on Maduro. This is a post from President Trump on Truth Social just a short while ago. He said, Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history of South America. It will only get bigger and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before. Until such time as they return to the United States of America, all of the oil, land and other assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil from the stolen oil fields to finance themselves, drug terrorism, human trafficking, murder and kidnapping.

For the theft of our assets and many other reasons including terrorism, drug smuggling and human trafficking, the Venezuelan regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization. So I just want to add some context to this because people forget things and you know you do a show like this for almost two decades you remember stuff. Like the horrible things Michelle Reiner said we'll talk about that later. Ten years ago Maduro nationalized our oil companies refinery that they had there The the the drills the rigs the oil everything they took every took it and and I was Chavez who did that? Yes, but we've been fighting that for ten years saying hey give us our stuff back. I think that was Chevron and

And, of course, just a little bit under a year ago, Maduro said, yeah, we're taking Esquibo, the very oil-rich segment of Guyana, and they're saying, hey, this is ours. But, of course, it's not because the licenses and the quote-unquote ownership of the oil is for Exxon. So, when he says, give me back our oil, land and other assets, yeah, that's absolutely true, but people forget this. Meanwhile, play this clip, UN sides with Venezuela. Yeah, this is good. The UN Secretary General has called for the de-escalation of tensions between the US and Venezuela. Antonio Guterres made the comment after a phone call with President Maduro. Yeah.

Yeah, well, they're very forgetful. But of course, he called them out in the in the national strategic security document saying we're not listening to global organizations anymore. I think they take that to heart. That's you people. Then, you know, just to stick with it, you know, we've we've got to We've got to get Mexico, we've got to get those guys, we've got to, anywhere there's British money, we've got to cut it off. That's why today I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country. With this historic executive order I will sign today, we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. Which is what it is. No bomb does what this is doing.

200 to 300,000 people die every year that we know of. So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. He loves saying that. Let's hear the two sides of the argument. First from Fox News. That's why today. Oops. Fentanyl has been a major problem in the United States, not only the illegal flow of it into the country, but another concern that isn't mentioned as much using the substance in some sort of weapon. The Trump administration is now classifying this stuff as an actual weapon of mass destruction. Will that be enough to stop it? When you're working in the Department of Defense on weapons of mass destruction, was there any evidence of that possibly happening or any sort of group getting the capability to happen? That's the first time I've heard of something like that.

The example actually, there is a real world example in 2002, Chechen terrorists seized a crowded theater and threatened to execute hundreds of hostages in Russia. Well, the security forces, the Russian security forces, They didn't want to engage with 40 well-armed terrorists, so what they decided to do was pump a fentanyl analog into the theater's ventilation system, which incapacitated nearly everyone inside the theater. They stormed the building, they shot unconscious terrorists, and they brought out a bunch of hostages. But in the aftermath, there were 130 hostages that died because of the fentanyl that was blasted through the ventilation system. And so that demonstrates the potency of it. And so that was an aerialized form. Subsequently, I should point out that the

Chemical weapons convention has has said hey you can't use a realization of fentanyl For law enforcement purposes, but it has been done. So that's an example Josh. You may remember that do you remember that movie theater? But I didn't realize that many people died from the fentanyl. Oh yeah. I like the idea that the Russians came in and they found the terrorists unconscious and shot them. That's the way they do business. Let's go to CNN here. Earlier today, President Trump made an unprecedented declaration. He's taking what he calls a war on drugs and drug traffickers to the next level. According to the CDC, there were more than 80,000 overdose deaths in 2024 alone. And synthetic opioids, primarily fentanyl, continue to play a role in the majority of those deaths. All right, Ellie, to you, does this executive order give the president more power to do more than he's already doing that Congress has not actually approved these boat strikes? No, it is completely meaningless. It's symbolic.

If federal law describes what a weapon of mass destruction is, generally has to be an incendiary device, something that blows up, something that shoots, something that disseminates poison, that kind of thing. If you commit a crime involving a weapon of mass destruction, there's very serious penalties involved. Could be life in prison, could be death if someone dies. But the president saying drugs or fentanyl are now weapons of mass destruction has zero, zero legal impact. to judges. It's up to the parties on a case by case basis. It's an interesting argument. It doesn't meet the definition, but it's like if the president declared that a slingshot is a firearm, it doesn't make it a firearm for legal purposes. Congress would have to change the status. A judge couldn't just say fentanyl is a weapon because you said- You somehow could shoehorn it into the definition.

Uh, wait, this kind of reminds me of, uh, you know, saying that COVID-19 vaccine is actually a vaccine. Yes. Change the law. No, just change Miriam Webster. That's how you do it. I thought this was an interesting case. So I looked up 18 U.S. Code 2332A. And a weapon of mass destruction is defined as destructive devices, any explosive, incendiary or poison gas including bombs, grenades or rockets, chemical weapons, any weapon designed or intended to cause death or serious bodily injury through the release, dissemination or impact of toxic or poisonous chemicals,

Biological weapons, any weapon involving a biological agent, toxin or delivery system, and then there's radiological and nuclear weapons. I think you can make an argument that seeing as 80,000 people a year die from it, that it is a weapon of mass destruction. I'm all in. I think that's valid. It's creative. It's very creative. Which brings us to the Turtle Island Liberation Front. Oh boy, the six-week cycle is back. Four alleged members of an extremist group suspected of planning five bombing attacks on New Year's Eve in Los Angeles and Orange counties are now in custody. Hey, stop the carol. Stopping.

This reminds me, wasn't there supposed to be some sort of an event last Monday that all these podcasters, the sneer and smear podcasting group? Yes, the 9-11 style attacks, multi-cities. Yeah. Wasn't that supposed to be like a couple days ago? Yeah. Are you still there? Yeah. Okay, I'm still here. Where's all these attacks? I guess it wasn't true. Zachary Page, Tina Chen Ting and Dante Anthony Gaffield appeared in federal court Monday. These bombs were to blow up at the same time on midnight this New Year's Eve. The plan stated that the IEDs would be complex pipe bombs. It included instructions on how to manufacture the bombs.

and contained guidance on how to avoid leaving evidence behind that could be traced back to them. Video released by the FBI shows the four suspects on Friday at a remote campsite in the Lucerne Valley in the southern Mojave Desert. Investigators say the suspects brought bomb-making materials to the desert to rehearse their planned action. Investigators say they found PVC pipes suspected potassium nitrate, charcoal, sulfur powder and other elements. They were arrested shortly after this video was taken. The four subjects are members of a radical faction of the Turtle Island Liberation Front. At this point they show video a picture.

of a couple of hand-drawn signs that say, yeah, I saw the signs. Death to America. Turtle Island. Down with fascism. Well, first of all, let's make people need to know Turtle Island is some reference to the entire body of North America that was considered a cold turtle island by some indigenous folks back in some in some historic era. Well, if you saw the pictures of these people who are arrested, they look like the kind of people who would thank the indigenous people that we can stand here and make bombs on your secret grounds. Of course, that's what you want. Yeah, that's the way it looks. And by the way, before you continue, I knew when I was an air pollution inspector, there was a guy that ran a chemical company and, uh,

In Oakland, I'm not gonna mention his name, but he was a part of a big club of guys that would go to the Mojave Desert with explosives and blow shit up. They loved it. And he had photos he showed me, his album, because they like to take pictures of this. Here's a 45, here's like a 55 Buick, look at this, and here's after we blew it up with 10 sticks of dynamite. And it was like a hobby. So it's not surprising that there was people like, this is where you do it out in the middle of nowhere, Mojave Desert. You blow stuff up. Well, there's a little bit more to it. It's the American way. There's a little bit more to the case.

a violent homegrown anti-government group. Carol and her co-defendant, Zachary Page, led the effort to obtain and build the bombs and to recruit others to join in their plot. The suspects have been charged with conspiracy in possession of an unregistered destructive device. Officials would not release any information about the target locations, only saying they are logistics companies engaged in interstate and commerce. These threats are sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation. Again, the FBI saying that if these would have been successful, they would have been coordinated IED bombing attacks on New Year's Eve. Okay, so this is horse manure.

And I'll tell, I read the affidavit, it's all right there. So they've been tracking these people since December 6th and they had a confidential human informant who was already in the group, already showing the feds the signal messages. They had an undercover law enforcement officer in the group. Yeah, that's what you do. some ammonium nitrate, you get some fertilizer, you get some charcoal, some sulfur. I've never done this, by the way. I have. I have. Yeah, you sure you have. When I went to the University of California, I was in chemical engineering. The first thing a professor would... This came up in a conversation like when I was a freshman. He says, how many fingers you got? Is that the number you want to keep? And I'd never made an explosive. What we used to do back in the old country

when I lived in the farm land south of Amsterdam, is we'd get fertilizer and sugar, and then you put water and you make a water solution. You dip paper in it, and then... Yeah, you make flash paper. Flash paper. Oh yeah, it was fantastic. Yeah, you can do that. That's different. Well, but we also did some other stuff with pipes. Obviously. But not PVC pipe, and they had no caps. They literally had the affidavit says they had no caps, no cap for the PVC pipe. So what kind of bomb are you making? Well, they couldn't charge him on making a bomb. So instead, possession of an unregistered destructive device. They didn't register their device. This is bull crap. The thing that bothers me the most is the fear mongering from the FBI.

And, oh, we saved you, America! This would have been bad! Oh, it would have been five buildings just blown to smithereens! Stay safe, stay vigilant, if you see something, say something! This, I hate that. How about, how about you? I do, I'm sick of it. How about you do your job, And because you are government, you know, we appreciate it. It's great that you keep us safe. And then just go home and have a beer. And then the next day go after some other Turtle Island group. There's no reason to do this big, whoa, stop the presses breaking news. We all could have been blown to smithereens, especially after all the red green alliance, ISIS, ISIS in America, Al Qaeda, Muslims, Islam.

It's sickening. It keeps everybody on edge during the happiest time of the year. What is it, pissing into the wind is what you're doing here? I'm making people aware of why this is being done. Oh, we've been bitching and moaning about this. It's never gonna change. The FBI's got, they have their marching orders. There's a memo, unless somebody goes into the FBI and changes the memo that set this up whatever many years ago, because it's good for business and it keeps people, it brings the newbies in, you can show them the ropes on how to, infiltrate and do other things. It's good, good business. Then you make a big fuss about it. And then so the newbies can say, so you point to the newbies and look, look what happened. This is the results of your good work. We got everybody all riled up saying this is the, this is the way you do it. It's how everybody kept is kept on edge and, and afraid and cowering and, yeah. And, and, and suspicious of each other. It sucks. Yeah. I know, I know you're all in, but I'm against it. I need,

Hey, I'm a podcaster. I can stink my mind. Egyptian airplanes. Come on, man. Well, that brings us to a Candace Owens clip. Oh, goodness. Really? We've never had one before. I want to play the clip. This explains a lot. Let me see. I know all you guys want to know what happened during my meeting with Erica. So here it goes. We met in Nashville cause I didn't want to fly anywhere and have my plane shut down by Israel. So I told her to come here instead. She gets here and first thing she does is she gives me some homemade cookies and I'm like, bitch, I ain't eating those poison chocolate chip cookies.

She tried to poison me. Anyway, I'm still alive after almost dying from the poisoned Israeli cookies and we start talking. Then you're not gonna believe what happened next. The waiter asks us if we want something to drink, but he's wearing the Star of David. So I'm like, I ain't about to drink no Poison's lemonade from you, you Mossad agent. So anyway, I almost die again from Israeli lemonade poisoning. And Erica is like, I'll just have some water, please, which is obviously code for you better kill this bitch right now. Am I right? So we talk and we talk.

And she tells me I'm acting crazy or whatever. So I asked her to show me pictures of her of when she was younger and she's like, why? So I'm like, oh my God, she doesn't have any. So I just discovered she's actually a man. And I'm now talking to this man who was probably an Israeli spy sent here to kill me. So I just, I get up, I go to the bathroom, I dig a hole under the shitter like El Chapo, and I finally made it back to tell you guys the story and get paid millions by YouTube to keep you guys stupid and against Trump and Turning Point, because I'm just a piece of shit like that. Anyway, thank you for your views, retards. That's not bad. That AI is pretty good.

That was the the real thing is almost as nutty Okay, ladies and gentlemen get ready. I am telling you get ready. We have an explosive episode today actually I should say it's a a non-explosive episode and you'll see why we're gonna jump right into this because after yesterday's episode we were contacted by a variety of people with information and And it's time to state unequivocally that the steel neck quotation did not come from the surgeon. Okay, not only that, but it's odd that federal agents were, I would say, too involved at the hospital. When I tell you this story, your jaw is going to hit the floor.

floor. We also have never before seen photos of the vehicle. I know I sound like a fed here that Charlie was transported in to the hospital when they were trying to save his life. I'm telling you, my perspective is that all of these leads are ramping up. The reason for that is because the general public is actually not receptive to what is very clearly a military-grade psychological operation, complete with influencers and bodied activity on social media. We're so let down, it's over. I'm never watching this show ever again. Candace took money. The people can see what you're doing, feds. They can see it. I can see it.

And now we're going to, you know, got to go back today. Welcome back to Candace. So my takeaway from this, which was not a is that so the feds have mounted a psych, a military grade psychological operation against Candace and bots and influencers are saying she sucks. That's the takeaway from that. I, you know, that AI that I played, I think is part of the operation. Oh, of course it is. But yeah, I see it the same way. There's an op to discredit and get rid of Candace Owens, to put her, not kill her, as she likes to have it, but to sideline her permanently.

And I think Tucker knows this because he doesn't want to get sidelined. And he, he, this is so interesting. He didn't, I think Tucker's in on a lot of this stuff. I don't think he can be sidelined. Well, I do not trust Dr. Wilson. Listen to this, because this is the second time he's done this and he did like an eight minute interview with the Doha Morning Show, whatever it was. It's Doha this morning everybody. Welcome to the desert. How you doing? How's your oil stocks? Listen to what he says about Trump in this but I left this beginning in because the lady says something kind of interesting. Do you feel You make quite you made quite a few trips here, but he made quite a few trips here It's quite a few trips does Tucker visit Doha a lot to get to

Get his checks Something changed in the way you feel in the last couple of years. Do you feel I feel that I'm 56 my children are grown I have an obligation from my perspective to tell the truth in Indecency and kindness by the way telling the truth is not a lot of people are pointing out there You know there are obvious sins no telling the truth means telling the truth in love. What do you think is true by the way? I've been wrong many times. I supported the Iraq war, okay? I've been wrong. And I know that I've been wrong and I know that I will be wrong again. So I'm not claiming I have a monopoly on the truth. What I'm saying is as an American citizen, I have a right to say what I think and I'm going to, period. Period. He always, he does that a lot.

I'm an American citizen. I have the right to say what I feel like I want to say and that's it. I'm an American citizen, period. How could this fight to reshape the American right possibly define how the US engages with the Middle East? Could it potentially change everything? The President of the United States recently sided in public with an Arab country over Israel. Israel bombed Doha. Qatar is one of our most important allies in the region. Our largest airbase is in this country, Qatar. Qatar hosts Hamas at the request of the United States government and the Israeli government for more than 10 years. And Israel bombed a meeting here in Qatar.

in order to short circuit Donald Trump's peace process. This was an attack not just on Qatar, but on America. Donald Trump saw it that way. He said he saw it that way and he forced the Israelis to apologize to the government of Qatar. Nothing like that has ever happened. There's never been a situation where the US president publicly took the side of an Arab country over Israel. That just happened. That is a huge change. That is a seminal change. What are its long term effects? I can only guess, but we've never seen that before. This seems to be the message he wants to convey so that kind of gives me pauses to where is he in this big? podcaster thing which also Brings to mind this this call that Trump brings netanyahu into the Oval Office or the meeting wherever they do that meeting and he has Benjamin yet not yet Hey, he signs your checks, bro. You better get his name, right?

So he brings him in and humiliates him in public, makes him make a public phone call to the Qataris apologizing for the bombing. This is bull crap. This whole thing was rigged, it was set up for whatever reason to make Trump a certain, give him a certain gravitas with the Arabs and who knows what else. But this was, this is nonsense if we are to believe it. Because this would never really happen. All of this that is happening, and it really has been going on for a while. Nick Fuentes, I was aware of him years ago. And I know that you think he's a pro, and I'm not going to disagree. I cannot disagree with you on that. But he's something else. He is a punk rock podcaster. And I say this because

Everything he does is like punk rock. Punk rock, you know, the Sex Pistols, you know... I know exactly what you mean. Screw the Queen, you know, kicking down... Believe it or not, I was a punk rock fan during the era of the number of these bands. Oh yeah? What was your favorite punk rock band? Oh, it was the one band that... Damn, I can think of the name in a second. Peter, Paul & Mary? Yes, Peter, Paul & Mary. I especially liked Mary when she ripped off her bra. Well, you had the Ramones, you had the Sex Pistols, you had... Well, there you go. There's my knowledge. No, you don't have any. No, there's one group that I really thought was fantastic, but I'd have to think about it. Anyway, it's a long time ago. But he's a punk rock kid, and what he's doing is he's going against... What was the one thing you could never say? Israel no good, Jews no good. Boom. There's Fuentes.

I want to be with white people, not with black people. Boom, Fuentes. Women suck. Boom, Fuentes. It's punk rock podcasting and I'm getting it now because this is all part of audience capture. And I was watching Dave Smith. Part of the problem because I do watch this stuff. You know I try to stay in form I try to figure out what is going on. Why are these people so strange to me because you know we're boomers I'm not officially I'm Gen X face of GA. Okay. Call me a boomer Dave Smith actually Admitted it he admitted audience capture and

And here it is. You know, like a lot of us are kind of, you know, me and you and I think Candace and Tucker and like a lot of other people. Essentially, we the relationship here is us and the audience. We got to make something that the audience likes and then we do well. And if we make something the audience doesn't like, it won't do as well. There you go. That's exactly what you're doing. So if the audience says, yeah, Israel bad, you're going to do that. I don't even know if it's based on principles with these people. It's audience capture. And we don't do that. We don't do it. Yeah, we don't. We don't. We don't. We don't bother. It takes us out of our.

Our strike zone is deconstructing the media, looking for little tidbits, using the word target instead of subject. Stuff like that, and that fascinates everybody at all times. But we're not a, like I used it in the newsletter, this phrase I like, which is the sneer and smear type of podcast, and the grievance type of podcast, that just is designed to get audience, just to do audience capture. And we don't have we don't qualify in either one of those categories. That's for sure. We also don't count on YouTube money. We don't count on YouTube money. We don't need any of that. So we want to actually give you our opinions, which are often counter to the popular narrative. And people get really upset, really upset. Even just me calling Dave Smith. I called him out. Hey, John, we called out Dave Smith. Woo. That will get people upset.

It's amazing. And we're like, okay, be upset then. It's fine. I'm not donating. Okay. They don't donate. People who say that never donate anyway. No, that's true. As we speak, the European Commission, all 27 heads of the states of the European Union are locked in a room and they're not coming out until they have a deal. Until they have a deal about stealing the Russian money and giving that to Ukraine I have a couple clips myself. Okay. Yeah, I'd love to hear your clips. Let's do your clothes first Well, you weren't prepared. Okay. No, I wasn't prepared because you jumped right in You said I have a couple clips and when you say that I figure you you got clips. Oh

Well, continue with your presentation as you figure out your clips. Here is the, I think she's the foreign minister, Carlos, and she went in front of the microphones. People are coming out from time to time from the meeting like, oh, it's a tough meeting. You know, you got to do stuff. And it looks like we have, We have appeased Brussels or Belgium's issues with stealing the money and letting them take the rap for it. And of course we have the discussions on the reparations loan. Now the proposals that we have been working on also addressing Belgium's concerns. I think to go for the legislative proposal means that we all take the risk because it's a European proposal so the risk and the burden is shared

equally. So I think the issues that Belgium has raised we have also addressed. So I hope that we get this over the finishing line. Putin is banking on acts failed. We shouldn't give them that. I understand Belgium is under a lot of pressure from Russia from European countries but also from the United States and in order to get off that pressure actually we should have a European proposal then Belgium will just abide by the law and and you know whoever has any concerns can you know go to court against

European Union. But I think the fundamental issue is that Russia is causing the damage in Ukraine, so they should also be responsible for the reparations and this reparations loan is based on that very idea. So let me get this straight. The very Russia that just last week you were saying and all nodding in agreement to NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte, Russia sees us as next, we're next, get under your beds, get your three-day emergency kits ready. Now all of a sudden you're saying, well, you can just sue all of us then in the European Union cart, go ahead and sue us. What is it?

Are you afraid that they're going to come and bomb you for their money that you stole or do you think they're just going to file a lawsuit? That's a good point. It's ridiculous. I think the clips I'm referring to are these Ukraine clips and I have three of them. Let me play one more money clip. Yeah, okay. This is Keir Starmer, just to show you that we're tough guys here. We're going to steal some Russian money. Watch me do it. The United Kingdom issued a license to allow the funds from the sale of Chelsea football club to be transferred to humanitarian causes in Europe. Ukraine. Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea in 2022 under pressure from the British government. The funds from the sale have since then been frozen. UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now allowing him to use the money, but only to help Ukraine. Under the new license, proceeds must be directed to humanitarian causes in Ukraine, but future gains may be

This is the worst idea ever! I have three better clips than that from the BBC. Okay. The Abramovich series, this is not the Ukraine ones. Since you changed it kind of to Abramovich, because this has to be discussed. You're right. Abramovich will kill you. He will kill you. Well, not only that, but it's like at the same time, if you're going to let the guy into the country to begin with to invest in stuff,

spend his money and then he wants to and then you force him to sell his stuff and then you steal his money. Are you kidding me? Three billion dollars worth. That's insane. So here we go. The Abramovich fiasco. The British government is stepping up pressure on the Russian oligarch and former Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich. So if you steal something from the store you can just say I'm stepping up pressure? on your store? This is very interesting. Over a financial pledge he made when he was forced to sell the football club. Back in 2022, Mr Abramovich promised all the money he made from the sale would be used to benefit victims of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But the funds still haven't been released because of a disagreement on how they should be used. Now the government is threatening to take legal action against him. This was Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaking in Parliament.

My message to Abramovich is this, the clock is ticking. Honor the commitment that you made and pay up now. And if you don't, we're prepared to go to court so every penny reaches those whose lives have been torn apart by Putin's illegal war. Yes, we need to buy more homes in Europe. Take his money. Wow. It's astonishing to me they're gonna steal this guy's money and I think what he was referring to is if he made any profit on the sale not to all the money which is what they're trying to go for. But what they're just trying to go for some money? This way you would get just how much money you got it's now ours.

and we're gonna spend it over here because you Abramovich, the owner of the Chelsea Football Club, you are responsible for Ukraine. Yeah? Anyway, so part two. Our political correspondent Harry Farley has been telling me more about the background to this row and why it's gone on for so long. When Roman Abramovich sold Chelsea Football Club he made two and a half billion pounds. But that was frozen, that money was frozen in the UK because of British sanctions on Russian business people and representatives around the world. And so that money is frozen, it is stuck, Roman Abramovich cannot access it himself. And he previously said he would be happy for that money to be used for all victims of the war. Now that is something that the

British government doesn't agree with it, it wants that money to be used for humanitarian purposes for Ukrainian victims of the war and they're concerned that Mr Abramovich wants it to go to both sides so meaning Russians could also benefit. That is the essence of the dispute But because this money is technically still Mr Abramovich's, even though he cannot access it, there has been this stalemate ever since 2022. And this is really the latest iteration of the government stepping up its pressure on Mr Abramovich, showing signs of irritation, but of course irritation in itself. doesn't release that money. Yeah I mean is there any indication that Roman Abramovich is actually going to give this money over to Ukraine? Not at the moment to be honest I mean the UK government is threatening legal action, the UK government is saying that Mr. Abramovich needs to honour that commitment that he made, they're saying that they'd be prepared to take this to court

and the next steps as it were is Mr. Abramovich has 90 days to respond and after which the UK government could at that point take this to court. We haven't actually heard from Mr. Abramovich or his representatives today so we don't know if there is any shift in his position but at the moment at least this is just threats and I suppose a toughening of language from British ministers. Hold on a second, so did they take it or not? It sounded like Starmer was saying we're taking your money and it's done. And this makes it sound like there's still some mechanisms. Yeah, in other words they haven't taken it yet. Let's play the last part. This is from yesterday. And of course there's about to be an EU summit where leaders are going to be urged to agree to use Russia's frozen assets to give money to Ukraine and give them a huge loan. Yeah, there is going to be exactly that summit. There was

over the weekend, towards the end of last week, some pretty confident noises coming from people I was speaking to in government, government officials, believing that this could be a real moment and a real turning point where those frozen Russian assets across Europe, most of which are actually held in Belgium, could be released and given to Ukraine. There is less optimism now I am sensing. We'll find out the details tomorrow. But certainly the sort of the excitement, this is going to be a big breakthrough. Obviously, this is something to be talked about for months and months. The excitement that tomorrow could be a breakthrough, I think is waning slightly, and there seems to be a little bit more opposition and hesitation

because it is a legally very complicated to release these frozen assets and spend them on fighting on giving them to Ukraine in order to fight Russia. The legal complexity is one aspect and there is also political concern that Russia could then sue the countries who are holding these funds. Again, what happened to he's gonna come and invade us and kill us? Oh, yeah, that's a good point. He can sue us. He can just sue us. But what got me on that clip was the fact that they're excited about stealing the money. Yes, very excited. Oh, we're going to steal the money. This is great. It makes you feel good. Makes you feel like a man. This shows you what a bunch of corrupt pricks are running these countries in Europe. They're criminals. Yes. Hello, gambling. Don't look at our capital. There's no criminals there.

Never, never happened. Let's listen to... Okay, so I can play my... I got my three Ukraine clips. I think it'll be the... I can't talk about this any after this. We'll start with a Ukraine update, this is a BBC clip. Ukraine's President Zelensky is cold on allies to show Russia that it's pointless to continue with its war. He was speaking ahead of the European leaders meeting in Brussels on Thursday, where they'll decide what to do with more than $200 billion of frozen Russian assets. Reports say Washington has been pressuring European leaders not to use the money to help Ukraine. Vladimir Putin has again insisted he will achieve all of his expansionist goals in Ukraine. He said Russia would liberate what he called its historic lands by military force or diplomacy. Yeah, this is kind of a meme in the British

circles is expansionist goals. Yeah, yeah. Expansionist, revisionists, you know. I look at the way this is supposedly Russian, you know, part of early Russia. People have to remember that where was modern Russia founded? Yes, you mentioned that in the last show. It was in Kiev. Or, I'm sorry, Keeve! I want some chicken Keeve! So that's where the modern Russia was founded in Kiev. So now you're just Putin's puppet talking about revisionists. Let's go with the Ukraine finale. Over recent months and days, European leaders have been warning that Russia poses a threat to the security of Europe, despite ongoing peace negotiations in Ukraine. On Tuesday, European countries closest to Russia called on the EU to prioritize defending their borders.

Today Vladimir Putin dismissed that as hysteria, but he says Russia will take Ukraine by military means unless Kiev and its allies do more to engage with US peace proposals. Our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg sent this report from Moscow. Is Vladimir Putin ready for peace? Does he accept the need for compromise? It doesn't sound like it. President Putin told military chiefs that the goals of his special military operation would be achieved. Referring to Ukraine, Mr Putin said if the adversary and its foreign patrons do not want to have a substantive discussion, then Russia will liberate its historic lands on the battlefield.

historic lands that is a reference to Ukrainian territory. Moscow claims to have annexed... They've forgotten their history too, even when they're trying to make fun of it. And he says at the very end, the last three words, he says, claims to have annexed. Yes, claim. Claim. They didn't annex it, they claimed. And anytime, by the way, people out there, this is one of our deconstruction tips, the use of the word claims is loaded and bullcrap. I mean, it should be he says, but the fact that he claims to have annexed means it's, you know, in the mind, in your brain, it puts in a notion that this is not true or it's dubious or the guy's a bad person or what claims. So let's go to the second clip. He called for the expansion of a security buffer zone. In other words, to seize even more Ukrainian land.

His tone was defiant, belligerent and regarding European leaders abrasive. Everyone thought that in a short amount of time they could destroy Russia, President Putin said. And the European swine immediately joined the work of the previous US administration in the hope of profiting from the collapse of Russia. Vladimir Putin claims, claims, claims, claims he does want peace. But his comments suggest that's peace on his terms. Over nearly four years of war, his army has suffered huge losses on the battlefield.

And yet, Mr. Putin speaks positively about what has transpired. He claimed today that thanks to the special military operation, Russia had restored its status as a fully sovereign country. Steve Rosenberg. Yes, excellent. Jew. Okay. That's a good one. Yeah, claims and claims and claims, claims, claims. I mean, this is terrible. These guys are no good. Well, there's a new player that has entered the field. Our new player is Blaze Florence Metreweli. Metreweli, I think. She is the new head of MI6. And she's kind of cute, actually, in a spooky kind of way. What's her name again? Blaze, B-L-A-I-S-E, Florence Metreweli, M-E-T-R-E-W-E-L-I. Just look up MI6, chief.

Interesting family background. Her dad, Konstantin Matrely, was born as Konstantin Dobrolsky and he was the son of a Nazi collaborator who operated in Oblast, the Nazi-occupied Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1943. So do you think she has skin in the game? Just from a background... She looks like a spook, are you kidding me? Yeah, she's a total spook. But, you know, she's from the Nazi party heritage, you know, of course. We can't, as Tucker would say, we don't punish children for what their parents did. No, of course not. But it's just an interesting tidbit because maybe she heard around the Christmas tree, you know, like Putin bad, Russia bad, everybody bad.

Hitler good. I don't know what she heard, but she came out and she did about an eight-minute statement and I pulled a couple of clips. I'm going to break with tradition and I won't give you a global threat tool, but I will focus here on Putin's Russia. Putin. We all continue to face the menace of an aggressive, expansionist and revisionist Russia. There it is, expansionist and revisionist Russia. The scourge. Seeking to subjugate Ukraine and harass NATO. I find it harrowing that hundreds of thousands have died with the toll mounting every day because of Putin's historical distortions and his compromised desire for respect. He is dragging out negotiations and shifting the cost of war onto his own population.

But Putin should be in no doubt, our support is enduring. The pressure we apply on Ukraine's behalf will be sustained because it is fundamental not just to European sovereignty and security but to global stability. Okay, so Miss Miss New Spike, Spook, Spike, Spook. I don't know why she did this but this turned into a recruitment video. saying, you know, we need more people in the MI6. We need spooks and a very specific kind of spook and many of our trolls in the troll room qualify. Our world is being remade.

And for the first time, we are all at the heart of it. My service must now operate in this new context too. Not just expert on hostile states, terrorism, proliferation and more, but also fluent in technology, able to anticipate the second and third order effects. of advances that reshape the world in minutes, not months. And as China will be a central part of the global transformation taking place this century, it's essential that we, as MI6, continue to inform the government's understanding of China's rise and the implications for UK national security. Mastery of technology will infuse everything we do.

Not just in our labs, but in the field, in our tradecraft, and even more importantly, in the mindset of every officer. We will become as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages. What? What? Python? Hey ma'am, get a clue girl. Rust is the new language. Who do you talk to? Python. Python. Python. Python. Python. There's fluent in code. We need to speak Python. ...will become as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages. Under my leadership, MI6 will continue to attract Britain's best... Hey, I'm a vibe coder in Python. Does that count?

We need vibe coders at MI6 people. Linguists and data scientists, case officers and engineers, behavioral experts and technologists. We need people who walk in the shoes and get in the heads of our adversaries. We need people who think differently, challenge assumptions and act decisively. All can thrive and make a difference at MI6. Call 1-800-PYTHON-MI6. I just found that to be odd that she's recruiting Python programmers. Python. Python. And then listen to this 22 seconds and tell me if you think she's talking about the CIA. So we will work with our agents.

And we will continue to engage directly and with respect with states and organizations currently working against us. Away from the glare of the media, we will use MI6's convening power wherever we can to make a material difference, bringing parties together to defuse tensions. What do you think? When she said parties working against us? Yeah. I don't know if they're... She ends it with to end tensions. Well of course there's tension. We all know what you're doing. I have to believe that they're clueless about this. And the reason I say, so I had a chat with the Telegraph. Really? MI6 is doing most of the PSYOPs on Candace Owens. Yeah, but I don't think that they're clued into, I'm not convinced that they're completely clued in with what Trump's up to. Really? They're that dumb?

Well, this brings me to a conversation I had with our columnist buddy at The Telegraph, which is UK's most honest newspaper. I had a chat with Orlowski. Formerly, wasn't he with The Register before? Yeah, he was a Register guy. And he said that he admires the nexus arguments that we've been making. He actually listens to the show. Oh, hey, Orlowski. Andrew, how you doing, buddy? And so he says, but he says that they're so stupid that there's no way that this is, you know, they're just too dumb to do anything. He says, you have no idea how stupid the ruling classes are here. And I said, yeah, well, the fact that we could figure out what they're up to shows how stupid they are. I think it's just a confirmation of that. We're right. Yeah. And the counter argument to him was he couldn't. He couldn't. He couldn't. Of course he can.

Because so it's like you know so we have to assume there's a stupidity level and a naivete at some point. And this woman doesn't look like a brainiac and she says Python. You made my point. If you're talking we need Python. Which may somehow be related to AI. Someone told her, all this AI stuff, it's all written in Python. So we need Python coders. Okay, I'll do a call up for Python coders. Fine. Yeah, I'll get my, what's that thing called? My PyCharm IDE. I'll get that all rocking. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready, both. Who are we hitting first? Who's the first adversary?

On the other side of the equation is UK Air Chief Marshal, I think that means he's in charge of the Air Force? I have no idea. Probably. Yeah, and this guy's name is Sir Richard Knighton. And here's what he said. Perhaps the most obvious impact on all of us will be the cost of building disresilience. Sons and daughters, colleagues, veterans will all have a part to play to build, to serve, and if necessary, to fight. And more families will know what sacrifice for our nation means. Oh yeah, that's going over real big in England. What? What? You want us to fight who? Fight what? What? War? Huh? No, no, no, no, son. We're not gonna do that. There's not a single British kid who wants to do this.

Remember when this kicked off, there are all these TikTok videos? I'm not fighting. I got... I'm not gonna fight. I got other things to do. And in Germany where they just reinstated the registration for voluntary service, whoa, the kids there aren't having it either. Early December in Berlin, instead of being in class, thousands of young Germans are out on the streets protesting the return of military service. For this generation, about to reach adulthood, the countdown has already started. From January onwards, young men like Ruben and Ivar must register for potential military service. I think it's outrageous that I can't even decide for myself whether I'm going to the front or not. Young people were hit the hardest by Covid-19. Noodle boy!

as a sauerkraut kid. Young people were hit the hardest by COVID-19 and by all sorts of state decisions and now on top of that they want to send us to war. It's nonsense. Berlin has voted to reintroduce voluntary military service but with a clause that worries youngsters most. If recruitment numbers fall short, conscription becomes compulsory again. Across the country, it's all hands to the pumps. Anti-conscription committees have sprung up, like here in Munich. — My sign says, form committees. Say no to mobilization for war. — For Tim and his friends, who stage agitprop events and rallies, stopping re-militarization is now urgent. — I don't want Germany to be involved in another war, or even to be able to start one.

That's exactly where this return, or rather reactivation of conscription will lead. So yeah, they're not like American kids. I'm gonna get them ragheads! Towelheads, here we come! Watch out, Saddam! No, it's like, uh-uh. It's ridiculous. I can't believe it. They want me to go fight. I can't even choose if I want to die. I can't even choose where I want to go. Yeah. Noodle boy. No, Sour Kraut Kid. That's the new one. That's the German noodle boy. Sour Kraut Kid. That's what he is.

So, no one, no one. But Europe, see this is the thing, the Europeans don't even, first of all, everybody's tuned out. No one's listening to this nonsense. All they know is there's Rovers and Rolls, Bentleys and high-end vehicles parked on sidewalks with Ukrainian license plates occupying homes that they can't rent. That's what the kids care about because that's the reality of the situation. And they're sick of that. They're like, eh, what is this? And they're not, they're tuned out. They're not listening to all this nonsense. It was like, I can't, I can't even get a home to rent if I want one. So they're not listening. And now all of a sudden it's like, hey, all that stuff you haven't been paying attention to, well, now you got to go. Cannon fodder. Yeah, cannon fodder. Cannon fodder. They realize it, yeah. It's sad. It's sad, sad, sad. And I just don't see a rosy future for the European Union.

Well, I never saw a rosy future for them personally. Well, the whole thing was kind of a strange idea to begin with, but yeah. It was only done to fight us. The whole reason for the European Union from the get-go was to create an economic system that had less problems with moving goods from in between countries and being able to consolidate an operation that can compete with the United States. And it turns out that China was the real problem. Yes. And now they're doing the Mercure agreement. I think it's called Mercure.

where they're opening up trade with some South American countries and all the farmers are like, what? Those guys can use fertilizer we can't, they can shoot up their cattle with anything that we can't. And so now we're going to be importing food from other countries? They're truly nuts. It's bad. Christina's going to be arriving here. She'll be here about 6.30 tonight. I'm going to work on these kids for a week. Don't go back. Don't go back. They're gonna go back anyway, that's my guess. But they'll be, you know... Okay, I got a couple clips that go to domestic stuff. I want to get the Reiner stuff out of the way. We didn't talk about in the last show, we didn't want to. But more importantly is this Brown shooting.

Yes, yes. And I thought from the get-go that it was a targeted shooting of the Republican girl and... I don't know anything about the Republican girl. One, two people died and one of them was the head of the, the second, the vice president of the Republican Club at Brown University and there's probably five Republicans at Brown University. And none of them are my family members because all my cousins went to Brown. Well, that's all Democrats and all liberals, that's all progressives now. They're super tards, all of them. I love them, but they're tards. So you end up with this woman killed and so it seemed like a targeted killing. And there's a room full of 20 to 60 people and the guy comes in and yells something and then shoots her and then some other guy gets shot and then he peppers the place and nicks 11 other people. And not one person can say what he said.

I know what he said. Okay, let's go. 11 people shot. Wait a minute, kill the Republican fascist is what he said. Is that what he said? That's my guess. Oh, okay. Now this is, they still have to set it up. This is Jesse Watters and he brought on a guy who is a First, he gives a little overview of the incompetence of the investigation. And then he brings in a guy who, in part two, the second clip, brings in a guy who's a profiler. So part one... Eleven people shot, two dead. One was like the most prominent Republican on campus.

And we don't have any answers or videos or pictures. We don't know what he shouted, if he had an accomplice, the size of his gun, the number of witnesses, where he is, how he got out. And the people trying to ask questions are getting told shut up by the Rhode Island senator. For people who have no idea what they're talking about to offer their stupid and ill-informed views about what happened all over the Internet. So I would please, just from a law enforcement perspective, ask anyone who sees this to just shut up. They're asking for the public's help, but they're telling us to shut up. They arrested the wrong guy, got no video, and didn't even know if the brown cop cars had dash cams. They're in no position to lecture anybody. This is completely unacceptable, the whole thing. Obvious Mossad.

So they bring this guy in and this is just as makes my point, but this is going, the incompetence of this investigation and this guy, the chief of police is Perez character. The whole thing is hilarious as far as I'm concerned, but this is the part that I'm absolutely convinced that this was a hit job on this woman. Comes out and that's it kind of mad at the school or was he going in there to kill a specific individual Yeah, and my earliest media hit on Monday morning That's what I said And as soon as I saw the name of Miss cook who I was the vice president of the of the Republican Club I just couldn't rule that out. I look at this as a profiler. I've been on many task force task forces over the years anthrax and the

murder of a DEA agent, two professors murdered at Dartmouth College at their home, and we have to walk in with every single option. Was someone specifically targeted? And to me it's more than a coincidence that this young woman was killed, who happens to be one of the few probably representatives of the Republican side, of the house in that uh... particular very far left university something isn't right there and just before anything else i'm also a forensic linguist what the heck did that guy yell when he walked in the door there's such a thing as ear witness evidence not just eyewitness ear witness somebody has to know and if it comes out later that the brown people the brown university or the province pd is holding back with this person said because it wasn't politically correct

That's going to be really, really a problem. Yeah, that's going to have legal repercussions. And that's where it stands. Well, that's a better theory than I've heard. I just see a lot of people posting about how they don't know anything and it was DEI guys and all kinds of nonsense. I don't know. It's all sad. It's always sad. Real Casper milquetoast is the mayor too. The whole thing is pretty funny. Well, it is sad, but it's also amusing. I have the first one of the season. It did not come from Walmart. Burlington. Are you familiar with Burlington? The Coat Factory? Burlington. Well, they have a chain of stores. The Train Company? No, Burlington Department Stores, I think it is. I've never seen one. I don't think they're in California. But they are the first.

This year, first sighting of the Secret Santa. An anonymous Santa has been performing Christmas miracles by paying off layaway accounts at a Burlington near Wilmington down in Delaware. I just love this story. The man, he spent about $8,000 paying off 50 accounts with balances ranging from $38 to hundreds of dollars. He then walked out of the store, refused to be recognized for his generosity. And this man has apparently been quietly paying off these layaways for 25 years. He only agreed to go on the record if he he could remain anonymous.

I would give them the score. They win. I think they win. Yeah, they did it. The timing was good. They got it out there. You heard it. Yeah, well, I put it on this show. Now here we go. I always go. I do have Google Alerts set up. I'm always like, is there a secret Santa? That's a good idea. Well, the new thing is influencers, which I'm sure can also be paid like an influencer goes in and pay, but they're not paying because the influencers, they're not going to do anything anonymous. Hello? No. that's not good for your influencer score. So they go to the exit of the store and say, Hey, here's a grand go pay off your layaway. Yeah, he's a couple thousand dollars. Look at me like and subscribe smash that like button. Like smash the button. Speaking of you know, Tina and I we love our Christmas movies.

And really, yeah, we do. And Netflix and Amazon have flooded the zone with crap with wow. There are a couple good ones. We've enjoyed a few, but I'd say about 75% We know the story, we know it's going to be romantic love interest, but the actors, they look like they failed at gay porn. It's really unbelievable. Every single time. Now you can just look at the icon like, nope, we're not going to watch that. This is some guy who failed at the gay porn industry and now he's acting in these Christmas movies. But Kiefer Sutherland has a good one out. Tinseltown, which is cute. But also, most of them are in London. They're all in London for some reason.

And it's the most unbelievable thing you've ever seen. Not a single Muslim on the street. Oh, it's so pretty. London is so nice there. Christmas time. All kinds of white people walking around with packages and holiday cheer. No Muslims. Come on, Netflix. Come on. They're trying to bullshit you. Yeah, big time. Okay, well speaking of this I gotta be able to talk about that sort of thing is you brought it up This is it, Oscars, did you hear about this? It's funny, I was just about to play my Oscars clip, so we'll play yours from the BBC. The Oscars are to be streamed on YouTube from 2029 after the tech firm outbid traditional broadcasters. It will be free for more than 2 billion global users. Here's the CBS version, a little bit longer. The biggest night in Hollywood is on the move. The Oscars are leaving ABC and Linear TV in 2028 to start streaming

streaming on YouTube in 2029 through 2033. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences says it struck this deal, which includes the red carpet, to allow the Oscars to reach the largest worldwide audience possible. The Oscars have aired on ABC for half a century, and YouTube declined to tell us how much they paid for these rights. But ABC had been paying about $100 million a year. Now this shift reflects the way viewers are consuming content nowadays and underlines the dominance of YouTube, which is owned by Google. Well, there's really a couple things at play here that I think are worth a short discussion. The first is no linear timeline. You know, this is a big deal. You don't have to hit the news, you know, like, oh, we're running late. Oh, hurry up, everybody. Oh, we cut this. We cut that. So they can just run for hours and hours, which, of course, is also the downside.

Because it will be even more boring. Yeah, it's gonna be even more boring than ever. Yes. And by the way, I should mention that her actual use of the term linear TV. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I thought was interesting because they're now making the cut. This is like a moment in time where, okay, there's two things here. We got linear TV that's different. And we have our, you know, internet stuff. Well, the difference, and I noticed this so much, you know, like a buddy of mine has a morning show here and he had to fill in for the next host, her husband was sick or whatever. And he says, hey, can I call you for a hit? He was making a joke, but we both think it's kind of not funny.

And, you know, so then we have to talk in between the commercial breaks. I hate it. It's like you can't, you feel rushed. You can't just say something. And I'm constantly being barraged by Dutch television shows and radio show. Hey, when you, when you happen to be in Holland, we want you to come on our show. It's like, no, no, I'm not going to sit there and have to be rushed because we got, oh, we got, sorry, I got to cut you off. We got to go. Oh, end of the show. Sucks it's like this podcast you imagine like oh John we got oh, oh, oh, we're two minutes over time It's already three o'clock. We already missed a filly it We missed the news at the top of the hour oh no about about the commercials no all of that it's it's annoying

And just how television people in general are. We want to interview you and... Okay, well that's fine. I'll do an interview. Yes, so we'll have Babette and she'll call you tomorrow for the pre-interview. Pre-interview? Yes. No, no, I don't do... But everybody does the pre-interview. I'm not doing your pre-interview. I'm not interested. Let's have it be spontaneous. Oh, oh no. Can't have it spontaneous. I kind of understand the position about that if they don't know you because some people just can't carry a spontaneous interview. That's the problem. And by the way, just to plug something, I'll be on the latest Grimerica show I did. How'd that go? I did a one hour hit. You did a hit?

I thought it went well. I got to plug the show quite a bit we talked a little bit about your theories and my theories and our theories and They were there it was a good it was moved along. It was a good conversation. Those two guys are pretty good. They've got a great. They're great Yeah, they've gotten yeah, they are our disciples Graham and and and Grimes Graham and Grimes they and cheese. Yes, they are our disciples and Yeah, they are big fans of the show. Yes, we have bred them. They've been bred out of the no agenda Gitmo nation soil That's where they've come from. I'm very proud of them

It's like a millennial media offensive. It's like planet rage. And I gave him a nod by talking about hockey for a few minutes before we got into any real topics. You did that, huh? Wow. Yeah. Yeah, something you got to do if you're talking to Canadians. You switched from sumo to hockey. You are so multi-talented. I got a note from Rob, the constitutional lawyer this morning about two newly unsealed lawsuits in California. which alleged that Meta, Meta, knowingly connected sexual predators with kids. Knowingly? It's a new day. There's a predator. What are we going to do with him? Let's connect him to some kids. There's a little Joyce over there, a little 12 year old. Let's put him up, put him together. Pretty much, pretty much. The predators posed as young girls and persuaded teenage boys to send sexually explicit photos. This of course is part

Part of the 764. Once the predators had the photos in hand, they'd spring the trap and sextort the teen boys by threatening to send the pics to their friends and family. These two boys ended up killing themselves and now their parents are suing. But Ameta allegedly knew that it's here comes AI driven follower suggestion engine Did you think that's on a paper somewhere? What you got, BOTH? You BOTH got the AI-driven follower suggestion engine. At least give it an acronym. ADFSU. as a hunting ground for sexual predators. But instead of taking simple safety precautions, it purportedly called in its growth team, which estimated that safety precautions would cost 1.5 million users a year. So the AI driven recommendations allegedly... How do you figure? Because of the exploding gas tank?

Yeah, and they did a calculation saying, yeah, we better pay. It's better that they die and we give them the two million bucks as opposed to doing the retooling. So instead of losing 1.5 million teen users a year from their platform, not from life, the AI-driven recommendations allegedly continued, affecting some two million child accounts in three months. Of these, 22% resulted in follow requests. Moreover, while AI is adept at connecting people, it is allegedly not good at stopping sextortion once it begins. According to the suit, reporting mechanisms are broken and Meta refuses to act. Which brings me to several notes we received from people who were appalled that we were laughing about this. Yes, I got that. But before you go there, I want to mention one thing. Why don't they just try to find these guys and arrest them?

Why, with suing Meta, why don't you try to find the 765? Does it take a genius to track down somebody? You know, are they that good? Come on. Well, according to Dame Chaos Pixie, husband to Dame Chaos Pixie, I'm sorry, every one of the 50 nationwide FBI offices has at least two of these cases that they're working. The group loves to prey on tweens and teens. Yeah, OK, we understand how it works. I read almost daily the reports where spurned exes threaten to share nudes or scammers try to get money out of victims by threatening the same. These 764 victims are not the same thing. Okay, so it's easy to mock the victims of exes and scammers. These kids are actual victims. But the thing is,

We were talking about digital ID as the obvious solution to this and maybe... Yeah, that was my retort to the note. Which is what Kash Patel himself has pretty much said. I think it behooves the FBI to not pick these people up immediately because they want digital ID. And by the way, This is a good point. In other words, sit on the investigation so we can make it worse. So we can then get our way. Get our way. Exactly. And I'll just say, I know a lot of kids, teenagers up to driving age who do not have a phone and all the parents are, we're not going to give my kid a phone. Okay. And you know what? These kids actually stand out.

I think they're smarter, they have better communication skills, they're doing better with the opposite sex because they hang out at group meetings, like church, crazy. And the only thing that most of them have is they get an Apple Watch which they can text with. and the parents lock down all of the other apps, which I think is decent. It's reasonable. You can't go crazy texting on your Apple Watch. Can only send a mom, hey mom, can you pick me up? You know, that's it. And they do stuff together. They play golf, all kinds of outdoor activities. Golf. Yes. Golfing is big in Texas. Golfing is big everywhere. Yeah. So, you know,

The real the parents are the problem. That's that's the problem. They just yeah, the parents are on the phone half the time Oh, it's the best example for your kid. Yeah, they're on the phone all the time. The parents are on the phone Scrolling I would I can't tell you how many people have almost these guys are walking down the street I don't get it. You're walking down the street reading your phone. You're not even looking up and You know, every once in a while you want to kind of move just to a certain, you're seeing the guy, here he comes, or girl, it doesn't matter, the sex is irrelevant. They're walking up the street, they're looking at their phone, boom, boom, walking along, and you just want to walk in a certain way and just kind of walk in front of them, and then stop as if you've been standing there and let them walk right into you. You do this on a regular basis? I do it as much as I can.

We got a note from one of, I think he's Gen X. Both you and John seem to be befuddled by dudes not wanting chicks. Allow me to enlighten you. Yes, actually, he's right. Allow me to enlighten you both. We do, but... They're out of reach due to their expectations. Well, there's this issue, yeah. Yeah, I think it's real. Young men are shifting more trad. Body count matters. And the women have unrealistic and entitled requirements. The rules of six are a thing.

Yeah, he says for the boomers. Okay. I've heard of the what I read I read six feet tall six-pack abs Six-figure salary and younger men might have six-pack abs. I think was was he was also a six-inch For me that was the real that's original six for me he says I'm twice divorced 52 year old male and it's gross and It's why most men have checked out using the internet for anything. He's 52 I thought he was a... You're Gen X, you're Gen X if you're 52. I think so. Yeah, you have to be. I guess so. It's why most men have just checked out. Using the internet for anything other than a hookup is dead. Not because of bots, but because of the poison. My last GF was a grad student. Plot twist, I know. I've been moderately successful and now I think maybe a mate? A little bit more mature? Hell no. These old bats are more entitled than the younger ones. The wine hasn't aged gracefully. It's soured.

Not a one-off. Opening reply to a comment about this or that online, how much do you make? First question. I think this is, this happened in the past 10 years, particularly when The pendulum swung so hard the other way that in fact, I think there's EEOC lawsuits coming. White men were discriminated against in business, in schools. You couldn't get a job. Welcome to the, you just introduced the op.

I did send you a... Yeah, I got it. I put it in the show notes. Yeah, there's an op going on and I don't know what the point of it is, but I went back and forth with Brunetti on this because I sent him a video. Because, you know, he's your deconstruction partner now. No, he's a guy... Yeah, well, when you take your break and he's coming on. So, no, he didn't see it as an op and I'm seeing it as an op and because here's how so far here's how the op is gone. It started with Matt Taibbi. Mm-hmm. Promoting that article which is in the show notes. It's an article in compact magazine where a white guy is moaning and groaning about whites were being screwed and and so that went to Gutfeld and

And the reason I went back and forth with Brunetti on it is because out of the blue, Brunetti sent me, although he'd read the article from Compact, he sent me a presentation on Instagram which appeared out of the blue almost at the same time of a whole slide deck going on and on, very professionally done. On Insta, bang, bang, bang, here's what's going on, here's what's going on. So I've gotten four, and if this shows up, you actually gave me number five because you brought it up. But if this shows up on the Today Show, then 60 Minutes, and here and there, there's an op underlying it. I don't know what the point of it is, but it's something going on. I find it interesting that the most privileged white male with hot model wife is the one who's interested in this issue with millions in the bank. Who's this? Brunetti!

Well, he's not interested. That's the point I'm trying to make here. He didn't think it's he still would. He argues not an op. I'm just full of crap. Oh, I see. And I'm seeing I'm already seeing it as an op. And he doesn't see he only saw the couple of things I'm going to see a bunch of it. And then you brought it up. So whether whether it's an op or not, the point I wanted to make is I think women have really they're the ones that were opt not not necessarily intentional, but Yes, but you don't I think intentional Well, I'm not going with the coincident unintentionality aspect to any of no I mean they were elevated like crazy and told told that you shouldn't have children Do your career and now exactly as this note says these women are 30. They're super privileged They're lonely all these tick-tock women you realize it all the tick-tock women you are playing on this show are lonely They're lonely lonely lonely

Because let's face it, if you have a man in your life, you're not on TikTok like that. Except for Candace. But, and that's dubious. Very dubious. So, these are lonely women who use filters and all kinds of stuff to make them look good, because everyone else does, because I need to look as good as the next person. And it's been very destructive. So... I think it used to be just fashion magazines that women had to live up to. Now it's everybody. And they've been elevated like, you're the boss girl, you go girl.

Well, there's a lot of them that think highly of themselves and they you take one look at him and you say why do you think highly of yourself you look like crap and with that I want to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the Crap in the way the girl looks say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr. John In the morning to the trolls... What happened? I lost your sound effects. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room... Now we're dead in the water, man. We're dead in the water. 1495. We're dead. We're dead. We're dead, I tell you. Of course, if I had 1,495 people show up at my door, I'd feel different about it.

But that's it for the troll room, they're listening. Or if they had 1,400 people donating for today's show. Dream on baby. That's not the life of a value for value podcaster. No sir. Nope. We just have to depend on not capturing the audience, just speaking our mind. You know why? Because we're Americans, period. I'm practicing my Tucker rant. I'm an American. I will speak my mind. I don't bow down to anybody, period. And that keeps us in the lower tax bracket, for sure. These trolls are listening probably at noagendastream.com. You can also, from there, you can log into the troll room. They may be listening, a lot of them are, on the modern podcast apps. This is so much fun.

Modern podcast apps you can get one at podcast apps.com and We have this live feature a lot of these shows alive with Darren goes live rock world pre-show and planet rage goes right Everyone's doing this live stuff and it's in the same app. It's it's like it's like an awakening Oh, I can get a live show and on demand. Yes within 90 seconds of publishing. You'll see it show up in your modern podcast app So what would be a modern podcast app? Podverse, Fountain, True Fans, Podcast Guru, but let's look at podcastapps.com.

Let me tell you, there's a lot of them. So, True Fans, Podverse, PodcastGuru, Castamatic, Fountain, Ellen Beat, CurioCaster, Podcast Addict, PodLP. There's a lot of them. Yeah, PodLP is for the old, this big in South American Africa, the flip phones, the cheap Chinese things. Yeah, there's a ton of Pocket Casts. I don't think Pocket Toss does live yet. But there's, I mean, there's a lot. Those are the ones that do the live stuff. There's a lot. There's a lot. Yeah, it's an amazing little thing we've done here. We've saved podcasting! Saved it from the evil empire! And since... Maybe you'll get your Peabody award. Oh, I, you know what? I don't. I would refuse it.

Like Kanye, be like, I'm gonna flush it down the toilet if they send one to me. We do the show Value for Value, which we pioneered years ago, knowing that audience capture was not our game. We also never really wanted to have any kind of conversation with advertisers because it's a pain in the butt if you have some kind of product and you want to support us and you got to mention your product, we'll talk about it. And if we like it, we'll say we like it. If we don't, we'll just like, OK, thanks. No, some of the stuff we can't check. Like, we don't know. We're not near Martel hardware. We have not checked Martel hardware. Correct. I'm sure he seems like a good guy. Yeah, seems like a very good guy. Although, according to him, you blocked him! You blocked his email! Yeah, I said that, I noticed. You have no idea what people get. So your email server returns a message and has a little traffic light.

With the red illuminated, like you've been blocked for unspecified, for spam or language. Language. Language. Usually for language, yeah. If you cuss me out in the email, it will get through. Oh, there you go. No, that eliminates 40% of your email. That's not a bad idea. No, not at all. So you can support the show. Time, talent, treasure is what we accept. Time and talent, you know, giving us a boots on the ground report, organizing a meetup, helping us out in any kind of production way. If still looking for a great idea for a Christmas show, we've had a couple, some interesting ones like

I would love to hear some producer notes. I can't imagine have to figure out which producer notes to put in. Someone's still good. Someone like Red Book Show. OK, where were you in 2024? We did the Red Book Show and I appreciate that everyone's thinking about it. What was the other one? Tips of the day. I don't think we have enough tips. Yeah, there's not that many. No, it's not enough. You know, was it? Oh, election predictions. Well, that'll be a 25 minute show. That's no good. We've only had a few elections. Four? Are we on our fourth? Let me see. Obama. We did. We got Obama. Trump.

Biden Trump's we've had five. We had two Obamas, two Obamas. We caught both of them I think didn't we? Yeah. Yeah, we had two Obamas. We caught two Obamas, Trump, two Trumps, a Biden, Biden and Trump. So that's five. Five elections. We gotta hang our hats off man. It's getting crazy. It's an epoch. Okay. It's the fifth turning. One of the ways you can support us is by making artwork or prompting away on the latest model, whatever you got. And it's just amazing. I don't know how he does it, but Darren O'Neill has mastered AI. He also was a funny guy. I mean, he understands the wishes of the taskmaster.

You know, you want to have something that pertains to what's talked about in the show. You want to make it look kind of quirky or funny or you just want to have, you know, or something that even if people don't know what's in the show, they go like, oh, that's interesting. And he did the, this was the MUK Ultra Show 1825. He did a bunch of drones getting caught up in their fiber optic cables and looking all scared about it. And he's like, yeah, he nailed it. He just, he totally gets it. And most people don't. Which is sad. And then they get mad. Like I know ScareManga's mad. He's mad. I'm leaving the competition. Did he say that? Mmm, to someone else privately. Which of course that person immediately sent me a copy of it. Of course, that's what we do. That's what the moles are for. And the reason I haven't been mentioned... Our tentacles are everywhere. He said, the reason I haven't been mentioned in months

So let's mention him. He's been mentioned more than a few times in months. No, no, no, no. Yeah, no mentioned, not picked. He's just like, you know, you're not picking my art. Well, because it's... It's always the same. It's always, yeah, it's always a cleavage. It's always, yeah, you're right. It's always the same. I was like, okay. Let's look at his last submissions. I don't think he's submitted recently. He hasn't submitted for a while. What does he expect? Let me see. He's leaving the competition! Let me see. I'm gonna get in trouble for even saying that. Yeah, well it's too late. Because my informant... Your informant, you got your informant in trouble. I just burned my source, man. You just burned your source.

Here, let's look under artists. Hold on a second. Let me see. Artists. All right. Darren, Dan, Dan, Martin. Wow. He's not, where is he? He's not even on the list. Where is he? There he is. Scaramanga. 427 submitted. Last one submitted December 11th. Oh, okay. He did the... What? Yeah. December 11th. He did the Pocky Rice Dog. Not funny. Okay. AI is dumb. Not funny. Read a book with, you know, kiss on the boat. But since we're going to be slamming again, let me get it, bring up the art too. The last one I liked was the Frenchie Assassin, but you didn't like it because it had Brigitte Macron as a monkey on the wall.

So it turns out that ScareManga is only good at one thing, it's cheesecake. And he's really good at it. But when he tries to do something else, he's just mediocre. I mean, I'm not trying to be mean or anything. Yeah, you are. You're very mean to him. But I think it's justified considering that he's quit. He's quit the competition. He's left the cult. His little Paki Rice thing is kind of cute. I liked it. But he didn't like it. There was something better at the time. There was just something better. I don't know what it was. But Trump with a bone in his mouth is no good. Wrestling raccoons, you know, has potential. He's just barely missing. You know what? The cartoonish things, I'm over it. Jeffrey Rhea. I'm just over it. You got to be a lot better to do a cartoonish

cartoonish thing. That model sucks. And, uh, let me see, what else? I like Joy Burglar, which is another Darren O'Neill piece. You didn't like it. It was okay. I wasn't gonna fight you on it. Yeah, that's it. I see lots of menorahs for today. We should put a Hanukkah menorah on the artwork. Let's see everyone go insane. No, they'll go nuts. Oh no! Oh no! See, I told you! They got a dreidel! So anyway, thank you Darren O'Neill. Great job as always brother. We appreciate you. Appreciate you doing the Rock and Roll Pre-Show every Thursday and Sunday as well before we go live. It's always a great way to get into the mood. Now we want to thank... I have no evidence that he complains. Darren never complains. No, he's not a complainer. He's not.

So now we start by thanking all of our supporters, $50 and above, and in this segment we thank the executive and associate executive producers. Why? Because they have supported us with enough money to get one of those credits just like Hollywood does. Those people don't actually, all they do is hang out on the set, look important, they get a folding chair with their name on it because they ponied up and if they're lucky they they get some out of it. Well, when you support us, you get great value out of it and you're probably supporting us for the great value you already received. Such as Joseph Salasauer from Melbourne, Florida, who came in with $500. I don't see a note for him. We have no note from Joseph. I can't find one. So executive producership for him and he will get a double up karma. You've got

Hopefully he'll send something in and we can read it later. Sir Mike of the Fair Tax in Clinton Township, Michigan, 333.33 in the morning, John and Adam. This is a long note, by the way. This is Sir Mike of the Fair Tax, Baron of Liechtenstein, moderator, liberator of Michigan 10, formerly of Axehead Watch. Oh, that's our Axehead Watch guy. A few months ago, my fellow MI Tenors, Tom Hartman, wrote in to tell of how I helped him start his own watch company, Megatimewatch.com. Okay. Oh, I remember this guy, the wooden watches. Yeah. Yeah. You got a wooden watch from him. Yeah. Tom has not been moving product as well as I had been, and I think he's giving up.

He doesn't donate often, so I tried making a $55 donation in his name so he would get some karma. Instead, you guys read my name and I had to explain to people why I, a Libertarian Party candidate, was plugging a watch with very Republican-sounding name. Tom still uses the shipping station in my basement. I used for Axehead and employees Dame Kelly to ship them out. But now I'm ready for these things to be out of my basement. Oh, it's a fire sale. Oh, this is a fire sale. Use code ITM for a 50% off of a new Christmas sale. I'll be sure to tell them about all Christmas karma for Tom, please. Okay, you get some karma. P-S-R-A-P-S-A-L-M-A.

Axe head watch will be returning as axe head vape. Oh no! A wooden vape. Oh. Fully made in the United States wooden dry herb vaporizers in time for 420 Merry Christmas. Well just... It's a complicated note. It could really be. It's weed vapes man. You've got karma. Sir Jacobus Boersma, wow he sounds Dutch, from Ormond Beach, Florida, 333.33. ITM Adam and John, I've been listening to you guys since the very beginning. It's been a wild 18 years. All of your considerable effort is greatly appreciated. And I denounce all of the freeloaders who have failed to support the V4V model. As do we.

This donation serves to both support the show and an ounce to the NA community, the publishing of my new book, Zero Knowledge Wisdom, available globally on Amazon. It's a compendium of wisdom, universal truths, and life lessons. Zero Knowledge Wisdom is full of practical information that challenges conventional thinking and should resonate with the NOAGEN audience. It's a great tool for starting 2026 on the right foot, and John is even quoted in the Wisdom of the Greats section. Well, I'd like to know what that is. Yeah, something I said. Yeah, sock hop. Well, I tried to secure endorsements from one or both of you before publishing. It didn't work out. However, if either of you want to endorse it live and or are interested in authoring the forward, John apparently enjoys doing forwards, that would be great. Thank you for your courage and here's to four more years. Well, here you go. I'll do mine.

Zero-knowledge wisdom is like the modern-day Book of Proverbs. Here's mine. A must-buy! Exclamation point. Oh brother, oh brother. Well, just get a hold of me. You know, this is funny because that's a good idea for a book. There were two books, volume one and volume two, that came out in the 30s of such a book. And I had a volume, I had a copy of volume two. It was all just all kinds of little sayings and wisdoms. I never could find the first volume. I've always wanted to collect it. And now I can't even remember the name of the author, but it's not a bad idea for a book. All right, onward. Parker... Geistwhite. This is my buddy here in Fredericksburg. I have coffee with him about once a month. He is my mentee and

He didn't send a note. No, and he claims to be in College Station, Texas. And he came with 300 bucks. He said give him a double up karma and then find out later what he wants. And I'm pretty sure, because I'm pretty sure it's for his birthday. He's turning 30, but I don't know if it's today or tomorrow. So I'll put him on the birthday list anyway. Parker, you didn't have to do that, brother, but I appreciate it. Executive producer for Parker. You've got. Ah, there he is, Christopher Graves, Somerset, California, 242. Thank you for your courage to all the producers who have already taken advantage of our ITM 10 plus 10. When I left my corporate job and went back to candy making, I knew that my holidays would be spent working 16 hours a day for 45 days straight. And while I've had years that I felt blessed, this year, I feel more blessed than ever. So with sore feet and a worn out back,

Me-ah, Me-ah, Me-gia, Me-gia, is it Me-gia? Pfft. Me-gia and I say thank you. There's still plenty of time to get your candy, so go to littlejohnscandies.com and just use code ITM10PLUS10. Don't use the plus sign. Spell it out or call us on the phone. Little John's Candies, hand crafting smiles since 1924. No jingles, just a shout out to New Jersey Ed, who's a spook. Well, we all know that. The website needs work. Oh, does it? Mimi tried to order some Little John's candies to send to Eric and Dee, and it just collapsed and failed, and the shopping cart didn't work. There was issues. Oh no. So people should help these guys get this thing running right. Or they should get a hold of Mimi. Well, ask Mimi not to use IE3.

You're not using IE3, you're an idiot. It took you like two beats too long. Well, yeah, because I'm trying to figure out what we're doing. Okay. Onward, Dylan, Dylan, good old Dylan Langa, or Lang in the... What is it, Chilliwack, Chilliwack, BC, Canada? Yeah, looks like it. Chilliwack. I think I may have even been there. Dear Crackpot and Buzzkill, I appreciate all the hard work you guys do. I never miss an episode and always listen to the full episode, even the donation segments, which I'm now in. Yep. This donation puts me past the threshold to be a no-agenda Knight of the Roundtable. I'd like to be known as Sir Dill Pickle.

Also, please send me to the birthday list. I turn 34 on December 20th. No jiggles, no karma. It says jiggles. No jiggles given. No jiggles, no karma. Thanks for all you do. Cheers, Dylan Lang from Chilliwack, British Columbia. P.S. Shout out to Tony Lang. Oh, okay. Jeremy Brogan is next from Amherst, Ohio. Associate Executive Producer shift for him. $222.37 he sent in a note. ITM gents, Merry Christmas. I hope this message finds you well. Rove ducks plus bank fees plus Georgia font for my boy JCD.

Five to eight more years. Jeremy Brogan, Amherst, Ohio. Suffering Succotash. I'm Scott Simon. You've got karma. Sir My... Migdala. My Migdala. Sir Migdala. I think it's Sir Migdala. Just Sir Migdala. In Mineola, Florida. 222. This is the Duck... The Roe Ducks. Duck of Rose. Hi guys!

I'm working on my exit strategy. I designed a nerdy product for engineers and others who regularly need to connect between... Convert, convert. Convert, convert, convert. Between millimeters and inches. It's a calculator with big knob and bright seven... It's got a big knob! It's got a big knob is what you want and a bright seven segment LED displays. There are three keyboard buttons to reset, to switch between entering millimeters and inches, and to adjust the input precision. Wow. They can't visualize this.

The calculator sits quietly on your desk as opposed to the noisy calculators I have. And come to life when you spin the knob. Spin that big knob. It's a useful tool and fidget toy in one. And he's got the website is www.stipix.net slash M.M. calculator. Stippix. Stippix.net. All right. Stippix. Go check it out. Thanks for taking a look. I have a small inventory listed for sale and I would be delighted to make many more if there is interest. Best of all, I set up a tab for comments so I'm ready for feedback, constructive and otherwise. Thanks again, Sean Sirmigdala.

And then we got a note from Luke Cumberland from Oxford, Missouri. I don't know if I can even understand what to read here. He says, in the morning, please bear with me, initiating value for value protocol, introducing AELA, a system dedicated to achieving computational continuity, safety and coherence via algorithmic governance. Whoa. It is my pleasure to help produce your dynamite show. I'm preoccupied with superpositions, conceptually for instance, one, a set not a spectrum containing everything between O and 2. We can learn a lot from that set of infinite probabilities, namely observation resolves the set into reality.

So preoccupied when a magnetohydrodynamic system occurred to me. Does he have a website for this? This, you know, I was driving back from Austin yesterday. This is one of those guys who's going to invent a time machine. Or zero point energy. Well, same thing. Well, he says, so what does he have now? I don't understand what it is. First public Iteration of this work is the AELA Dissonance Modulator Browser Extension. Okay, so A-E-L-L-A Dissonance Modulator Browser Extension function. It grants user a volumetric control axis enforcing constraints on web chaos.

It actively measures and suppresses dissonance, entropy, auto-collapsing, distracting feeds and animation, and clickbait headlines for a low-dissonance online experience. He has a GitHub coming. Okay. Well, let me know when... And he has a VPN protocol coming too. Let me know, and I'll gladly mention it on the show, whatever website you have. But this is a bit like, yesterday I was driving back from Austin. A lot of traffic. And I'm like, oh, it's a new J. Where'd you go to Austin? Have my hair cut. My girl. OK. You know, get the ladies. Did you learn anything at the barber? Nothing. No, nothing. Nothing. No, she can't talk about stuff anymore because, you know, they were afraid she was turning MAGA.

So now we can't talk. Because they don't poison you there. They might have, I don't know. But so I flip on Joe Rogan because he's got, again, he just had him on, what's that guy from Black Horse, Black Dark Horse? I don't know. Yeah, yeah, come on, you know, one of the brothers. One of the brothers. I don't know. The brother, the black guy? No, the brother. What's his name? With Heather. He's with Heather. With Heather. Oh, Weinstein. Weinstein, thank you. Weinstein. The thin one or the big one? The big one. What's his name? Oh, he had the big one on. He had the big one on. Yeah. That's Eric. Eric Weinstein. Yes. Is that Eric? Yes. Yeah, Eric's the big one. Well, the biologist. No, no. The biologist is the other Weinstein, the skinny one.

Eric is the mathematician who works with Peter Thiel. He's a big fat guy. No, the big head. No, no. And he's the guy who kept begging to be Joe Rogan's friend on one of his shows. Okay, so it's Brent. Brent. Brent? Brent. Is it Brett? Brett. If we're a mess... We're terrible. And he's like... Yeah, I asked to come back on because I have something really important. And then he went... Oh, brother. It's another media whore. Oh, it was the worst. I mean, I love Joe, but it was the worst. And I tried to stick with him after 44, 45, maybe almost an hour. And he's talking about how evolution happens and it's a solution, not just a fold.

And my eyes like, oh man, this is the worst idea. I think Joe thought he had some kind of major scientific breakthrough. Every five minutes, so my hypothesis is what I'm putting on the table. I'm like, oh no. I could tell, I think Joe was irritated. Oh man. Anyway, Luke Cumberland, your note was very similar to that Joe Rogan episode. So send me a link to your browser extension. You're up next. Oh, I'm sorry. I was hypnotized by that fascinating story. Eli the coffee guy. Wow, I get him.

You know where he's from? Yes. Bensonville, Illinois. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's Did I? I think I clipped that. Do you have the razor blade clip? I think I do. Hold on a second. It's showing up in Walmart bread. Uh, yes, I have it here. Lots of new information we're learning this morning about razor blades that were shoved into loaves of bread at two Walmart locations here in Biloxi. And we're also learning this morning that this has been going on for more than a week and it has taken Walmart

apparently more than 10 days to contact police about this issue. Also new this morning, we're receiving pictures. Check these out that were sent to us from a viewer who purchased a loaf of bread. Let me bring you up to speed on this. Yesterday, Monday, Biloxi police around noon received a call from Walmart here on CT Switzer, the Walmart superstore. that managers have been receiving complaints from customers finding razors in their bread. When workers in the deli went to inspect loaves of bread, they found even more razor blades. A Biloxi police officer showed up, took a report. A little while later, Biloxi police was called again, this time from the neighborhood Walmart on Pass Road in Biloxi. And they reported the same thing, finding razors shoved into loaves of bread.

Well, this morning investigators are combing through surveillance video trying to find the person responsible for shoving these razor blades and we're also learning that this has been going on for at least more than a week now. Can you still buy razor blades? For your shick? Remember, yeah, you had that thing, you twist the handle and then the claw opens up and you put the razor blade in? Do they still... Yeah, I think you can. Hmm. And they're used for scraping. I mean, there's razor blades. Yeah, I'm thinking it was probably some other kind of razor blade, not a safety razor as they used to know. Anyway, there you go. Bonus clip in the donation segment. Well, I think you cut open a loaf of bread and find an electric razor in there. Okay. Be kind of cool. All right, Marty.

The holiday season, Christmas came early. Code Bongino, by the way, did you hear about what's happening? Yeah, he's back. Code Bongino is coming back. No, Bongino is quitting. Yeah. And that means Code Bongino is coming back. Oh yes, Code Bongino will be back. So the guy's in less than a year. Yeah. He's less than a year and he quits the job. He couldn't handle it. No, because it's actual work. It's office work as opposed to podcasting. He thought, you know, he's like, wow, it's going to be cool and be a deputy director of the FBI. What?

What? This is a desk? Where's the mic? What? What are these files I'm supposed to... What am I supposed to do with all these piles of files? What are these TPS reports? Oh no! TPS report, exactly. I appreciate him for serving. I'm sure it was a rough time. Oh, had to be miserable. Yeah, of course it was miserable. Once again proving that podcasting is the wave of the future. Just ask Deputy Director Dan. Okay, it's a reference to Bongino. Still, No Agenda's the best podcast in the universe, no matter what Bongino says.

Congratulations with these Hollywood accepted credits. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I have one short little screwball clip that I thought was funny. I don't know if you heard this about Finland. All I know about Finland is they just bought a whole bunch of F-35s from us.

No, they had to apologize to all the Asian countries. Listen to this Oh Brother clip. Oh, hold on a second. Oh Brother. The Finnish Prime Minister has apologized to citizens of Japan, China and South Korea for offensive squinting gestures made by three politicians from his governing coalition. What were they doing? They were squinting and doing a Chinese accent. No. Yeah, so he had to apologize for the country. This must be stupid. I've got to figure this one out. Hey, by the way, Gen Zeds, you looking for a job? You looking to get paid good money?

Want to live in a nice community where they're eating the dogs no more? there in that community from legal to illegal. That's about 10,000 workers gone. I asked if the governor has appealed to the White House. He tells me he's talked to everyone who will listen. These people who are currently legal, who came here legally,

they will be, their status will change and they'll no longer be legal. When that happens, all those employers will no longer be able to employ them. And so that one day, all of them are going to be unemployed and these companies are going to have to start scrambling trying to figure out how are we going to make our production. They're eating the dog. This issue you'll recall was a big one during the presidential election. I'll have more on it from the governor on things. Yeah. So Before everyone starts crying, TPS, temporary protective status. That's right, it's time to go home now. You've been protected, you go home. We have lots of people who want jobs, I presume. Or are we all now too arrogant? We don't want to work in a factory? Because that's what we're going to get. That's what it's going to be. And there'll be good paying union jobs. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know what they're gonna do. They got this, now they have the Somalians, they're gonna have to do something about them. There's a lot of them that are in the same circumstance. And now they're starting to make a real fuss about Ilan Omar actually probably being illegally entered under the, or became a- She married her brother. She married her brother. And the story's actually sillier than that. They had to get her brother out there. Her brother's gay. Oh? Have you heard the whole story about this? Uh, no I... gee, my eyes must have glazed over. Her brother's gay and Somalia was having an anti-gay crusade and they had to get him out of the country. So they found a guy with a name in England that she ended up marrying technically and then changed her brother's name to that guy's name, brought him over as though they were married, and then never divorced her first husband. The whole thing is such a disaster.

It's complete fraud and she should be she should be deported. She should. I'm telling you this is gonna begin. They're gonna... Tar and feather, run her out on a railroad tie. They're gonna deport her. You watch. This is gonna be a big deal and it starts to... because Trump already hinted at it. And yeah. No, he wouldn't have said that if he didn't know. Retribution. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't know something. That's kind of like the Reiner thing. That was, you know, I'm kind of trying to place this because what he posted about the murder of Rob and Reiner and his wife, you know, in fact I have a clip here, hold on a second. Here it is, Reiner, this.

a And I had to really think about this because

He posted kind of like, he was deranged, made people crazy and rest in peace at the end or something like that. And everyone's like, oh, oh, you can't do this. I can't ask you because Trump is 80, but I can see where when you're 80, you have a different view of death. Okay, he's dead. Trump doesn't seem to have a problem with death. And he's somewhat sympathetic, but he he did. He didn't virtue signal. And I kind of have respect. He doesn't do that. I kind of have. Yeah, he doesn't do that. And I wrote an essay on this in the last newsletter. I'm just thinking of blowing it out as a sub stack thing because I have so many Rob Reiner

screen you should do a little thread emoji on X and post it in 1500 posts yeah I'm not gonna do that one although you although that slash 20 although now that you mention it it's a funny idea but Rob Reiner had nothing but hateful, daily hateful posts about Trump and I have one of them exemplified on the newsletter which was one of the, an example of about six days in a row where he's just bitching and moaning and it was, was relentless for, for

the entire time Trump was stepped down the escalator or came down the escalator and it never ended and it was just it was unconscionable and I don't see why Trump should... It was both of them. It was Michelle as well. They were calling him Hitler and fascist and Hitler. A lot of Hitler from her. A lot of Hitler. That still doesn't mean that I like them being killed but I... It was just... To me it was like, okay, so it was honest. I'll give him that, but didn't feel good about it. How did you feel? It didn't bother me one way or the other. It was very Trumpian. It's not... it was like... was it a shock?

to anybody that Trump was like nonplussed about the whole thing and would say something like this? Well, I think people were like... He could have gone off the deep end and said there were a bunch of... a couple of assholes. I'm glad they're dead. That's what I think he wanted to say. I think that's what he said. That's how I read it. Well, he kind of said it, but he didn't say it directly. Yeah. But yeah, yeah, yeah. But everyone's, you know, now all said, whoa, this is not right. You can't trade us. Well, the thing that bothers me is that they tried to pull this off. I don't think they accomplished much, but they try to say, well, you Republicans are hypocrites. If they let Trump get away with this when they were making such a fuss about people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, which I also mentioned in this column. And no, because Trump was directly targeted

The people who are celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, Charlie Kirk wasn't directing nasty tweets at them for years on end? No. So this is a false equivalency which they love to pull out of the hat every chance they get. Hold on, I have Joy Read. The Joy Read Show. Is this an old clip? Let me see. Trump's response was to crap all over Rob Reiner. Oh, she has a podcast now. Oh, you don't know that? Yeah, here it is. And so he was a terrible thing, terrible for America, Russia, Russia, Russia, and sell his dumb Trump bullshit. So this has caused even...

Republicans to say, whoa, that's too much. You can call a reporter piggy, we're down with it. You can say you can grab a woman by the P word, we're cool with it. You can even actually grab E. Jean Carroll by the P word and get adjudicated as a sexual assault or abuse, we're good with that. You can commit 37 felony counts, you can rob New York, you can take classified documents home. put them in your shower, in a tacky shower. You can do all of those things. We don't care what you do. You can do anything you want. When you're a star, they'll let you do it. You're Donald Trump, you're a star to us. You can do anything. You can call women fat, ugly, anything you want. You can call all Somalis garbage, anything you want. Go after anybody you want, but not our, not a Hollywood star we actually like. Not this. The people inside MAGA who are closest to the MAGA base,

They see Trump up close. They know that he is faltering cognitively. They see his cankles swelling up to the size of an elephant's feet, except that he's not as delightful as an elephant. He's the opposite. They can smell his diaper full on many occasions and have him change multiple times a day. They see him wandering around. seemingly unaware of where he is at times, not knowing what city he's in sometimes, rambling, answering questions with complete non sequiturs. What we've heard on this program with medical experts saying that he's definitely in cognitive decline, maybe dementia. They said that. Really? Experts. Experts. I haven't seen the experts.

She's terrible. And she's definitely part of the problem complex. By the way, I just have to say, because we have a listener, black female listener, and she sent me a note like a week ago, says, are you going to play any clips from Nicki Minaj talking good about Trump? Or do you only play black women who are insane and mad? And as I'm playing them like yeah, it's pretty much true, but I'd asked I said It's funnier. I said can you please send me a link she says it's all over X well like if you're not even gonna send me a link to your favorite Nicki Minaj clip then you know you do better and Yeah, and she also Minaj has a

They're now claiming she has a crush on Jesse Watters. Which is part of it. Oh, that's good. I like that. So Gutfeld likes to bring on George Santos, the phony congressman who got kicked out of Congress and then spent a couple days in jail afterwards. that Trump commuted his sentence. Yeah. And he brings Santos on. Santos had an interesting thing to say about it because he was he was part of a program of a bill. He put a bill together, which most like Crockett never done this called the Minaj Act. And it had to do with. Yes. But he says that he says, I don't know what the fuss is about.

about Minaj being a MAGA because she voted for it. It was well known to everybody that was involved with her or knew her. She voted for Romney. She's been a Republican for a while. So what? Yeah, right. Yeah. No, I think she just says you're only playing clips of black women who are mad. Well, of course. It's funny. There's nothing entertaining about this Nicki, Nicki, Nicki, Mirage. Mirage. Nicki Miraj saying anything is cognizant, who cares? There you go and there it is. All right what do we have? Anything else we need to talk about? Let's get these two grinder clips out of the way. These are backgrounders from the BBC and I thought they'd be more objective than American Reports. Okay I see Rundown BBC and Rundown 3 BBC but no Rundown 2. Yes there is no 2. Okay.

A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on True Social. Denounced? This is the same clip I had. Yeah, it was part of the report. Well, we... After the murder of Robert Mayer. It's only the little bitty part of it. We do this all the time. Okay, I got it. Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said he liked, he knew it was false. In fact, it's the exact opposite that I was. a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. You know, it was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself career-wise. He became like a deranged person, Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all. All right, there was nothing different than my clip from that clip. Well, that sucks. Yeah. Okay, well let's play three then.

Our North America correspondent Peter Bowes was there. Another Brit! There was a very brief appearance by Nick Reiner. He sat at the front of what is a very large courtroom in this downtown LA courthouse. He was mostly expressionless. He had a blank look on his face. He listened to his lawyer, Alan Jackson, who we've just heard from, asking the judge to adjourn the hearing until January the 7th to allow more time to prepare the case. Mr Jackson later said that there were complex and serious issues that needed to be carefully examined. Normally at a first appearance a defendant will get the opportunity to enter a plea, guilty or not guilty. That did not happen. He was asked by the judge whether he understood that the hearing was being adjourned and he replied yes your honour before soon being taken away back to jail to await the next hearing.

And prosecutors in this case have raised the possibility of the death sentence, haven't they? They have. If he is eventually found guilty at a jury trial, he could face either life without the possibility of parole or indeed the death sentence, although the prosecution have said that they have not yet decided whether they would pursue that option. It's interesting that California hasn't executed anyone for almost 20 years. Capital punishment remains legal here but the current governor Gavin Newsom has issued a moratorium on the death penalty which halted all executions from 2019. And we heard from his lawyer Alan Jackson just then and this is a man who is very used to these high profile cases.

Oh yeah, he is a veteran Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer. A defense lawyer now widely known for handling these high-profile complex cases like this one. In the past he's represented celebrities Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey to name two. He has You know, when I first read the president's response, I thought, man, he must know something. Maybe he already knows that the kids, like, you guys are so horrible, I'm going to kill you.

But then I thought, maybe not. What do you, I mean, it's a complicated case. I mean, is this not, I mean, this is all stuff. This is all propaganda because this Jackson guy is one of those. Somebody pointed out, he says the best friend of a defense attorney is a continuance and he's already got a couple of stalling tactics in there. It's going to take forever to get this thing underway. Oh, he wants to be on TV. He wants to be on TV, he's going to be on TV a lot. How did he even get hired? Nobody knows that. They don't know who's paying him. This question has come up, this guy is the hottest attorney, the hottest defense attorney in LA and somehow right away he's the guy. Without any moment of hesitation he shows up immediately. How does that work? Well, maybe the kid didn't do it.

Maybe the kid didn't do it. So we have to ignore the bloody room at the motel and the... Well, he might have been there, but maybe he didn't do it. Maybe he didn't do it. But if he gets convicted, here's the prop bed of the century. Death penalty or no death penalty? I don't think that's a good prop bet. It's going to be one. It's going to be one. It will be, but I don't think that's the good bet. Everyone will say no. I think, well, which is where you want a prop bets, you want them to be lopsided. Exactly. Exactly. But there'll be, I will get a memo from a bet age, what is it called?

Online bet AG I think yeah, yeah, he's website. Yeah, he sends a will send me a note I'm on the mailing list for the prop that's me too. Yeah, and so I'll get that we'll read them when they come out People you put their money down waste their money on So you agree with me that it's a great prop bet because it'll be lopsided. So there's an agreement. Well, I'm not gonna I I mean, I'm not a big fan of the whole prop bet phenomenon, but... Really? Everyone seems to be a trillion dollar marketplace. It is huge because it's compelling. I mean, can't we do our own prop bets? Well, I think... I don't see why not. I mean, we'd be pretty good at it. First of all, how do you make money as a prop bet company?

I'm thinking exit strategy. You work on the middle so there's some sort of crossover. It's an arbitrage game. Never mind, forget it. It's too much work of our hour here. It is too much work. You have to know what you're doing. You have to be a statistician to do it right. We can't even get the podcast awards together, so there's not going to be any exit strategy. That's coming. Jeez, you expect things to happen overnight. That's your problem. I'm going to show my support by donating to KnowAgenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah! Well, that leads us to the last of our donation segment, the second donation segment, where we talk about the already mentioned people and thank the people who donated $50 or more. And Adam's going to start at the top with our best friend from us from Nevada. Yes. And we love all of the people who support us financially. It is the only way to do a podcast that is not

And I'm thinking these patches are pretty cool. What kind of patches are they? It's like no agenda patches. Oh, wow. It's like military patches only they say no agenda and stuff on them.

Northern Greece. She was... Oh, this is... It is show content. I was driving through the mountains of northern Greece listening to show 1825 when John started talking about grappa. I had to smile because right at that moment the air was filled with the unmistakable smell of grape must from the nearby distilleries. My husband George and I would love to invite the NOAA Gender Community, Adam John, Executive Producer Dana Burnetti to join us at the magical two-month window of the grape harvest in Mount Pico.

And we will learn from the locals how to make tsipouro, discover nigoska, a grape you won't find anywhere else. And she suggests maybe Dana could help us make a film about our charming Greek village.

When was the first Noah Jender meetup? Do you remember what the first one was?

I can't remember. Was it, is that the one we did in Austin? The big one? No. Or were they going on... So I think the meetups began with the Hot Pockets tour. Ah, yes. Okay, so that is a long time ago. Yeah. So maybe the first one was at our dame there in Virginia, I'm thinking. Wherever the Hot Pockets Tour started is where it started. Well, there's one taking place today and they are all over the world. It's a global phenomenon. Noah Jenner producers get together, chat, hang out, learn about each other's skills. Some date.

I don't know, do people say this? Oh, there's no competition. Let's just hold hands and tell a secret. Since I have four and I'm going to win, I'm going to play my four first. Here we go. It was really great. And the performances were fantastic.

Hmm? Okay, I'll try my next one. This is, uh, this is bonkers. I don't like that one. How about this one? And it takes balls, the weight and heft of anvils to pursue this. And I think this is a good clip, but it's too long. It's too long. It's too long. This one I think is AI. Wow. Adam and John hit it out of the park again. Compete with that Dvorak. Well, I actually have the same clip damn near. This is ISO home run. Really? How was that? That show was a home run. Wow. Adam and John hit it out of the park again. I think mine's good. That is IAI. So you're now moving into my territory. You're poaching as usual.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, tick-tock clips are next you already started those okay, let's start with let's go How about bonus bonus? bonus Wow I like I'm already removing mine. I like that one a lot Okay, then we go to the two I have two variations on the exact same clip Okay, here comes with different intimate wait. Let's do number two first. What a great show. Where is our Peabody Award? Okay, try one what a great show where is our Peabody Award nothing beats Wow give these two guys

That's the winner! Hey everybody, it's time for John's coveted tip of the day! Okay, first I have a mere couple to correct a record on the Shun-Yun knife, whatever that knife was that we had tip of the... It's Chinese? Oh no. Which is okay, because it's still a folded knife. The Chinese have taken the Japanese... That's why it's cheap. Best price. Although I saw the price went up to $75 on Amazon suddenly. It's normally $75. I think we sold out of the sale price ones. I was lucky. Yeah, you had to get them right away. Yeah, I did. $75 is still cheap, because that's a $250 plus knife if it was Japanese.

But it is, and I should have, I probably knew this, but the pattern, the classic pattern that you get on the knife from dipping it in water and folding the blade so much that's on there is, it's like they've toned it down. I think the Japanese emphasize it, so they put dye or something to make it look really, so it really stands out. But it's still a killer knife. I got a number of notes from people telling me to make sure I correct the record on the origin of this knife. Alright, so this is the eggnog recipe this time. Don't tell me this is the Ben and Jerry's get drunk eggnog. No, no, no, this is a real eggnog recipe.

And I'm gonna read right from it and this comes from, this is one of the 20 eggnog recipes or, I don't know how many there are in the, too many eggs dot com, go to too many eggs dot com and download the PDF. Oh, you got in trouble. Well, how did I get in trouble? Well, Mimi's like, you're talking about eggnog, you didn't promote my book. Well, no, she never said that. I'm just promoting the book. But there's plenty of eggnog recipes, including one somebody sent me from Alton Brown, who can't cook, by the way, for the aged eggnog, which is also in the cookbook. But this is not the age. This is the regular make an eggnog the hard way. I'm going to just read it. You can tape this or you can just download. Have you tried this recipe? You just throw it in the recipe?

Mimi has. Okay. And she's tried to done all these egg recipes, but the recipe is in the show notes. I'm going to read it and I'm going to read her writing. She wrote it says many people don't like raw egg eggnog. That's what I would have. It's too late and it's too late for an aged eggnog. I give you the cooked eggnog, an extravagant drink for the upper class. Winter eggs are an expensive luxury. Typically the eggnog toast was on and she goes on. Here's the classic basic warm eggnog recipe. Six eggs beaten, one quarter cup sugar, one quarter teaspoon of salt, one cinnamon stick, four cups of milk,

Or milk and cream. One teaspoon of vanilla extract, a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg, a quarter teaspoon of allspice, massive addition of some alcohol before serving. Stir nutmeg in as a garnish. Here we go. In a saucepan, mix the beaten egg, salt, cinnamon stick, and two cups of milk. Heat over low heat, ideally in a double boiler. Put on the stove directly if you are careful. Stir constantly until the mixture gets to 160. Do not allow the milk to boil. Mixture will thicken slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining milk and the vanilla extract. Stir in ground nutmeg and allspice. Pour into a container and refrigerate overnight.

then you can add your booze. There's your recipe. I don't know if it's the tip of the day, but that's what everyone wanted, mainly you. I didn't need to hear you tell me how to make it. I've got the word doc right here in the show notes. Eggnog is good. Mimi told me to do it. She's got a knife to my throat, people. Go make this eggnog because that's what happened. We know what happened. There it is. Find it at noagendafund.com, tipoftheday.net. Created fast for you and me. Just a tip with JCD. And sometimes, Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti. That is too many eggs dot com everybody, because I don't want to get in trouble. You know, the women of the No Agenda show, they don't mess around. They want you to promote their stuff. We're doing it. Alright everybody, that is it. Excuse me. Care Ball.
