1723 - "Quademic"

thought you're gonna be in Amsterdam. No, I was in Amsterdam the first day, and then we're in now. We're in Florence, because we're here for Christmas, and I understood that you were going to go to right to Italy and to do whatever it was you're doing, and then go to Amsterdam and do the show there. Well, you have it exactly backwards now, don't you, obviously. Now we went to Amsterdam first to do some stuff there, and then we went to Italy for my brother in

law's 60th birthday, and we're staying. We're going to be here for Christmas. That's, that's what's going on. I can't, how did, how could you get that so wrong? I have no idea. It's unbelievable. So we almost didn't make it tonight for the show, which was rather exciting. Yeah, well, this is going to be interesting story, maybe not. Well, let's hope it is. But I do have a travel report. So, so, you know, we came to let me, let me start at

the beginning. So Monday night, before we left, we had the booster Grand Ball live in Austin at antones, which was, you know, a hootenanny. We had six bands. It was all streaming live on the modern podcast apps. It was an amazing time. I just needed to say this because there was a guy named Parker who, if he hasn't, will be contacting you. He's doing a documentary on value for value. And of course, I said I'll participate, but only if you also interview John. Has he reached out yet?

No, never heard of him. Well, there you go. He will, oh, he might be an email somewhere, and you just haven't seen as possible. I'll make sure we can, because, you know, you can't do a value for value documentary without your side. You know, this is very important. And this guy, he's from New York. He's shaking, you know, walking into antones, and he's, you know, he's doing stuff for the setup. He's shaking, visibly. Shake. Said, what's going on? He said, I'm so sorry.

I'm trying to organize Airbnbs. I'm trying to get my family out of New York because an Army Ranger buddy of mine told me that there's a loose Nuke, and that's what all these drones are looking for. I said, Sit down, son. Oh brother. But this is the, this is the degree to which that Psy op went. He was, he's still going on. Are you kidding? Yeah, it is, it is to a degree which is, of course, what I predicted. I think you were

going for another week. You think even I thought the shutdown, phony shutdown kind of kind of got rid of that, I guess not anyway. So you milk it. You got it going. They are definitely milking. Yeah, they're milking. What else can we do with this thing? So having meetings as we speak anyway. So we finally, so we stay overnight, shake, and it was, this is the level that you know that the psyops go to. He was trying to get an Airbnb for his family in West Virginia, or something like, Dude.

Anyway. So we go back Tuesday, and then Wednesday morning we leave, we get on the plane, and we're flying to New York First, which I never like to do, because New York is always a problem. If you're connecting in New York and you're better off connecting in Atlanta, which we couldn't get with the timing. So

on the way back, we're connecting in Atlanta. So, you know, we've got, like, an hour and a half layover, and yeah, of course, lo and behold, before we're starting to board, we're sorry, that we're going to be delayed at least another hour, which to me, means, Okay, that'll be another two hours, and the rest

and the reasons is delta. The reason was they were out of pilots, which typically does not happen in the middle of the month, and they had given our pilot to another flight, and we're flying in a new pilot for us from Detroit, and he had not gotten on the plane in Detroit yet. So, yeah, it's just like, how's that an hour? No, it's two, four. We had a four hour delay. Oh, it took forever, so forever to get out.

By the way, TSA and image recognition, facial recognition is everywhere, including boarding on Delta international flight. Now you'll recall if you get it on international flight, you stand in the line, you you show you show the check in agent, you show them your boarding pass and your passport. Please have your passport open to the picture page. You recall this, right? You. Course, yeah, well, that's no more. Just keep everything in

your pocket. Just look in this little screen. Boom, welcome aboard. So no boarding pass, no passport, it's all in the system. Yeah, exactly sounds spoofable. Anyway, so we get into Amsterdam. I was going to do a TV interview, so we do, we're late. But anyway, it all worked out fine. And the next day, we get up on time, and we fly to Florence. Short flight, hour and a half. We land in Florence, a

very small airport. There's, you know, you know, you, you, they shove a stair to the plane so you, you're walking on the tarmac. Yeah, one of those deals, you're walking into the baggage on beach and like, I'm just gonna go the bathroom for a second. I walk in the bathroom. As I'm walking out, I hear they're eating the dogs. So there's, you know, one of our producers with his, uh, with his wife, Alex and Annie, like, Hi. How you doing? I thought you

guys, I was hoping you might be on our flight. He's yelling they're eating the dogs in the airport bathroom. Christmas. That's a good one. It was good. But I didn't it didn't feel go. ITM no jarring. No, he started off with her eating the dogs. So we're so we were in downtown. Florence is fantastic, you know. So we have a nice evening. So, you know, for us to have a nice dinner, and the next day, we're gonna go off into the mountains.

And everybody you talk to here the minute they hear you from America, so they'll be talking with you like, you know the guy in the restaurant. He says, Can I ask you, what do you they're real careful, but do you think of Trump? And we go, like, yeah, yeah. We think he's great. I love Trump. Trump has big balls. He's very good. We love Trump. Everybody here loves Trump. Oh, but they're reluctant to very, Oh, that's interesting, because of the blowback they get from

the Democrats. Exactly. Obviously, everybody you talk to is, well, especially the restaurants and retailers. Ah, no, Italy where Maloney is, you know, she is obviously a Trump. Well, he's going to be big, by the way. I saw a picture, not to change the subject, but I saw a picture of her, I guess, when she was in the United States and she was with Biden, she was

like, she had his head on this. She has got some sort of granddad thing with Biden, and she feels bad about I mean, we've noticed this over the last couple of years, that Maloney is really got something going on with Biden. She feels bad about what it is. And so, you know, I actually, I said to a couple of these people, I said, So, but, you know, you've got Maloney. Yes, Maloney has big balls too, but, but she like a Biden, she'd like a Trump. She'd like Elon. Elon, Elon, who, oh,

Elon. Because, you know, she had to have Elon. She's all hot and heavy for Elon, according to everybody here, because she had, I didn't know that, yeah, she had him give him, give her an award. And had, you know, specifically requested, yes, this did crop up. Yeah. And then, of course, they all talk about tariffs, which will be my, actually, will be my first, first clip, because they're very worried about the tariffs. You know,

they've all been psyoped here. And you know, it's like, oh no. We think Trump is good, but, you know, it's not good for our for our economy, because we can't export our goods. Be big tariffs, and Trump is going to punish us. I've got my I got my Italian English. I don't know if you got it good or not. So there's this you have. There's this huge article in the Financial Times yesterday morning, and I got a copy of it here for you. Trump wants 5%

NATO defense spending target. So now remember it was 2% GDP for all NATO members. Now Trump somehow through the Financial Times, because he hasn't said it anywhere himself. No. Donald Trump's team has told European officials that the incoming US president will demand NATO member states increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, like this is a front

page of the Financial Times. So I'm reading through this and then a little bit further down, it says one person said they understood that Trump he would settle for 3.5% but he was explicitly planning to link higher defense spending and the offer of more valuable trading terms with the US. So what he's doing here is just is, is very interesting, because of course, 5% three and a half percent, two and a half percent, is all going to be spent on us, on our companies. Defense spending means.

Buying from Boeing and Raytheon and and our guys, as far as I know, they may, they're trying. There are European suppliers a certain thing, yes, not kind of, no, it's, it's not that kind of money. And so then not to leverage rehab and so, so He's tying that to tariffs. And, you know, so the message is, well, you know, everyone paid 5% but yeah, take three and a half, which is still almost double the 2% and then maybe I'll go easy

on your tariff. So he's already dealing. And then, as if just by God's grace, our boy rutza comes out and talks about this, this big European Union meeting going on. So everyone's out there talking, and our friend Mark Richard comes out. But you know, I won't talk about what is in the Financial Times this morning, but I will talk about it because

I think I'm working for Trump. I saw the piece in the FT today, and this 3% being mentioned, and I decided today, not to mention a new figure, we will need more time to consult amongst allies. Yes, we don't talk about the 5% what exactly the new level should be, but it is considerably more than 2% but let me be very frank, if you would only spend more and not spend better, you have to go to at least 4%

you can lower the 4% by doing two things. One is innovation, making sure that you get the most innovative technology innovative as part of your defense industrial base, and therefore in your defense organization. And secondly, by buying together. I love this guy. He's like, hey, you know three and a half, three and a half percent, okay, but maybe 4% if you make it smart in innovative so join procurement.

And as I said in my speech, we have to get rid of that, that idiotic system where every ally is having these detailed requirements, which makes it almost impossible to buy together, to have joint procurement, etc. So it is crucial that we spend not only more, but also better, because

otherwise the potential impact will be huge. And then even with 4% you can defend yourselves, because then you would not have the latest technologies implemented in the in your defense organizations, in your in your armies, in your navy, in your in the whole community, this guy is such a tool that he didn't even read the article. Trump's already at three and a half, and he's trying to negotiate down to four. What a tool. This is amazing.

The guy, yeah, what a what a numb everybody here is laughing about him. Anyway, so we went up to the mountain last night to it was like, it was a fun, fun, fun, fun party was, I think, 18 people, you know, my sister, both sisters were there, of course, and their kids, and we're all hanging out in this, you know, you have to go up with this with a bus. It's an hour, about an hour and a half from Florence, and there's snow, and it's

completely idyllic. And we come down with, and you go up with the cable car the last bit of the way, the whole thing's perfect. And we're supposed to leave at 330 which would get me here in time to still do some prep work before, before the show starts, and we get down to the bus, and the guy's like, Well, my left windshield wiper motor broke. I can't drive because now it's, it's, you know, it's sleet or it's raining. And I'm like, Oh, crap, you know, I got to find a

cab. The closest cab is an hour away. Does it take an hour for him to get here? I'm like, I'm never going to make this and then the Italians dedication to the show. Ladies and gentlemen, make sure you pay attention to what he's talking about. It was like, Oh, this cab ride will cost you 400 euros. Like, I don't know. We got to get to the show. So we got to get home. What are we going to I'm sorry, well, and there's like, and the cab's not answering. And you know, Willow, of course, is

fluent in Italian. She's trying to figure it out. And I say, Will anybody drive? And Tina's like, hold on, hold on. I said, I don't want any nut job Italian driving us home. Hold on. A second. And then, meanwhile, my nephews, they had done the most Italian thing ever. They bribed the driver and said, You just you drive down halfway down the mountain before you get on the highway, bribe the driver, yes, before we get on the highway, you have another bus to pick us up. And they arranged it. And so

we still got here later than expected. But anyway, it was, it was an Italian a total Italian caper. Loved it, you know, the guy, I can lose my license. Ah, here, here's the euro. I'm good, yeah, I'm good, I'm good, I'll get you guys home. That was good. It was good. It was in, you know? And so we're here, and then we're gonna spend Christmas here, and then go back to Amsterdam. And. And then spend one more day to do the show on Thursday, and

then we'll fly back home. So that's where I got Mr. I did. You probably told me that I want to thank stroke Bill, Bill Walsh, for the the last episode of Best of episode. I could not have wished for a better response. I know what you saw. But everybody was just, Oh, my God. This was such a great episode, but it freaked me out. I hated going back to that, you know, I it was a reminder. Are we going into that again with this bird flu nonsense? I think Bill did a great job. He really did. He was

he was irked we didn't use his art. But I thought, Nick the racks art, Nick the rats art was great. And the title, of course, you know, we didn't say COVID retrospect. We didn't use his art stroke. We have artists. That's stroky bill. And you know, we didn't use his title, COVID retrospective to instead, was this really happened, which you suggested, which was a great title, and I think it really set the mood.

And people enjoyed it. You know, they enjoyed it. And as far as you can enjoy this kind of a look back, and a lot of people said, Boy, how quickly we've forgotten that lies, because this took us up to the vaccine. This didn't, this didn't even include the vaccine nonsense. No, this is just the pre lies, yeah, the pre lies, yeah, it's just just a lot, yeah, set up lies. Set up lies. So anyway, you know, there was, I don't have this clip, but there was, I guess, Harvey Mandel has a podcast,

not Harvey, okay. Howie Mandel, yeah, how he's got it, you know, who is a germaphobe and big with, with RFK, Jr, yeah. Did you see the any clips from that? I saw the clip, but they, they didn't the one where he with Howie Mandel and his whole crew, couldn't believe that all these people had said, The shot is safe, effective, and you won't get COVID. You can't give COVID to anybody. And like, no, that didn't happen. That's the clip. Stunned by this. It was quite, quite

amazing. And I think Kennedy was stunned too. He is going, Wait a minute, I got clips here if you want to hear him, and they wouldn't play him, but it's like they were in denial. Is that you think denial or ignorance? I mean, I can't put my finger on it, but it was like, Wait a minute. If you're going to be doing these public podcasts like this, you have to have some basic knowledge. It seems to me,

maybe you can, I can find the clip real quick. Well, the thing that at the very end, because he's saying, you know, Fauci was saying this, and then says Rachel Maddow, and then Howie Mandel goes, Oh, well, Rachel Maddow doesn't count. Like all of a sudden, Rachel Maddow is no good. You know, you know, he's all up her butt. Here I have the clip. They say what they're saying. Out of 22,000 people, there was one COVID death among the vaccinated, and there was two

COVID deaths on the unvaccinated. 22,000 people, so and that that allowed them to claim it's 100% effective, effective for what you can't you remember? They kept saying it's 100% effective? No, they just said it really. You go on the internet, you can see Tony Fauci, but the word effective didn't say you won't get, I never heard you won't get COVID.

Oh, yeah. Well, there's a different subject. But yeah. In fact, I saw a tape yesterday of them, all of Biden Fauci, gates, you know, Burla, all of them saying, if you take the vaccine, Rachel Maddow, if you take the vaccine, you can't get COVID. You can't pass COVID. I didn't see that. Okay. Well, you know what? Can I play it for you? Yeah, all right. It doesn't matter what Rachel Oh, really they say what they're saying. There you go. It doesn't matter what Rachel Mano said. Oh my gosh.

Well, this is the state of the podcasting world. Thanks to you. So now it's my fault that Harvard Mandel, what's his name? Harvard? That's even better, Harvard. Mandel. Harvard. Mandel. That he Well, you know what happened was, when it didn't work out that way, they switched the messaging. I guess the last messaging is what weak minded sisters remember. Final messaging was still, because floors me as my absolute favorite. I was almost gonna pull a clip for today's show we

should have. They all had shots, and then they all got COVID. And then, and they changed the messaging to, well, you won't be hospitalized, you won't have any severe symptoms, which is proving a negative. There's no way of proving that. Yeah. And that was the message they switched. Well, yeah, you might get it. But yeah, yeah. And then he had these people coming out. Like, Oh, I got, I just picked I had COVID. Luckily, I had this shot, yeah, what? Yeah, so that you wouldn't be so severe and

you won't have to go to the hospital. That's, that's the only messaging they remember, because I think their brains are so small that it's, you know, in and out. Like, you put messaging in and, oh, here comes new messaging. God, what do I do with this message? Oh, yeah, I get rid of it, right? There is a, there's, is definitely a last in, first out. Yeah. Issue here where they don't remember anything that took place before the last message. It's crazy, crazy. So, well, I mean, so it's

unbelievable. They're still trying to do this, this this bird flu thing, ever since, uh, what's his face? Um, Hotep, ever since he said, Oh, it's all coming. Oh, it's all it's January 21 is when it all starts. All these viruses are coming. Here's, here's. NPR, this is a short clip, very good summary. And I have many more if we want to listen to him, a very good summary of this one patient. So one patient is not doing too well. This one patient is 60 over 65 we only know he's

he or she is over 65 has pre existing conditions. This was a big one during COVID. All the people who had to go on the vent had pre existing conditions, and that's all we really know for privacy reasons. But you know, this thing could jump from human to human pretty soon, you know. But do you worry that a virus is getting stronger? John Connor, who's a professor at Boston, says viruses are essentially right now going to the gym and getting stronger. You know, when they spread, this is NPR talks

to professor. The professor says, Well, right now the viruses are going to the gym and getting stronger. Okay, NPR, as viruses are essentially, right now, going to the gym and getting stronger. You know, when they spread, birds, cows, other animals, they're mutating potentially. So do you worry about that as well? You know, Robin, I'm in public health, so it's my job to worry. Yes, I am worried, yes, but the stronger that I'm worried about is less about how bad an individual

infection is, as worried as I am about that. It's more about the ability for this virus to stick better to humans, and the stickier it becomes to humans, the higher the probability that we get transmission from person to person. Now, if that happens, the severity of this illness will be something we consider. But we've known for some time that this influenza could cause serious illness in people. So that's pretty well known, and it's not surprising to me that somebody with these pre existing

conditions would have a serious case. But what I'm watching for is the stickiness, the increased probability that we're seeing human cases, or if this were to jump between a human and another human. And so as we think about strength of the virus, I want us to think about transmissibility more than we think about severity. These guys are all getting jacked up again with the same messaging.

Everyone's in on, here's a, here's a, b, c, and all we have the first very severe case, severe case, according to the C, D, C, the very first severe case of bird flu has been confirmed here in the United States. What's the latest? Starting on a serious note, this this year, more than 60 documented cases of human avian influenza. We're talking about h5 in one, otherwise known as bird flu, if you'll take a look at this map, the cases are relatively widespread. The majority of

cases, I want you to focus on California. They have more than half of the documentary bird flu. This comes after the throwing up maps. Throwing up maps, you know, they have snaps. We got map. Newsome has to now announce a state of emergency to in order to organize and fight against this outbreak. And this comes after the first, as you said, severe case of burp less Saturn conference with federal health officials in the CDC yesterday to get more information, here's what you

need to know about this case. This patient has a severe hospitalized the specifics about their case are still being reported from the Department of Health in Louisiana. They're over the age of 65 and reportedly, they have become exposed to sick or dead birds within their home, their backyard, severe respiratory illness. Of course, as I said, we're still getting more details about this case, but this is certainly an inflection point in this outbreak as we try to contain

this virus. This is exactly the same script, although, you know, it's not as if it's scary, but it's exactly the same script, respirator, severe respiratory disease. Oh, we don't know. Is the first severe case? How concerned should we be? Just? How big of a threat is this? Important to know the majority of these cases is more than 60. Cases are patients, people who have been exposed to sick or dead animals. And that seems to

be where that transmission, that risk comes from. These animals can release this virus in mucus and saliva, and so petting or touching dead animals can increase that risk. And Hey, kids, stop petting dead. Animals, this is not a good idea, not a good idea, of the dead animal. Animals can increase that risk and the

symptoms to look out for. And we've received memorandums in our emergency rooms to identify patients who might be at risk, symptoms of sore throat, cough, fever, muscle aches, the typical symptoms you would see with the flu. And the best way to avoid is to make sure, number one, if you have animals, specifically wild birds, if you're managing or a farmer, you have to make sure that you're taking care and being cautious. Backyard chickens. They're gonna

get rid of that. That'll be that Well, they'd like to wild bird and back chicken. No, it's wasted. Don't pet the chicken a mass being mindful of that. But again, it's majority of those who are exposed to sick or dead animals. So that is where you need to take that caution. All right, let's go to a CBS doctor, Celine gounder, who I believe, I believe, was her husband who dropped dead at the at the Olympics, from no from the shot. Well, allegedly, there's no evidence.

So let's, let's talk about this. Is it the same strain as what's going on with dairy cattle? It is not the same strain that we have seen in wild birds, and also the strain involved with the teenager who is was hospitalized in critical condition from h5 and one in British Columbia, Canada. Oh, new going on here. There's an h5 n1 and h5 n1 this different strain of h5 n1 wouldn't that be some other designation as opposed to h5 n1 I would think so. It makes no

sense. It makes no sense. What she said, No, is it based on their own way of their own nomenclature. It doesn't make sense. But okay, let it will assume is h5 and 1.2, now, remember, there's a lot of a lot of different agendas that are going on here. A lot of people you know are involved in these types of psychological operations against people. So we already have the backyard chickens who can't have that. There's still more. But so people at home hearing this are

going to say, well, so he was handling birds. Is there a concern now, though, that people could pass it to other people? Very good question. So yes, he his exposure was sick and dead birds. So for those of us at home, do not handle sick or dead animals. Call do not pet the dead animals, animal control. But in terms of human Wait, hold on a second. So you gotta have law. You got five chickens in your backyard, yeah, and one of the chickens drops dead. Which they do? You

get old. You know, different things happen. They get egg bound, which is a real problem. What's egg bound? Oh, that's where the eggs get too big and they can't get them out, and they drop dead. Oh, that's that happens to chickens. It happens a lot. In fact, we have a Jay has a bunch of chickens, and she, she did a little chicken background here. That's literally too many eggs.com. I mean, that's

the information. So she got a couple of these. She's got chickens, and those are the eggs I use for my raw milk shake for the show. And she found one of the chickens. It just got a nice big egg, and it's got double yolks, yeah, which is a cool egg to have, but Mimi gave me a lecture about these double yolk I mean, you run it into them every once in a while, even the

jumbo eggs. When you see jumbo eggs, she says, generally speaking, those chickens don't live a long life because these eggs are too big, and they will get egg bound, and then they can't lay the egg and get stuck in them, and then the next thing you know, the chicken's dead. So by the way, these people are talking, if you have a dead chicken in your backyard, you got to call animal control to pick them up. Are you kidding me? Got to call CDC that are coming with hazmat suits. Give

me a break. Let's call animal control. But in terms of human to human transition transmission, the concern is, the more we allow spillover into humans, the more likely at some point you might see a mutation that would allow for human to human transmission, because most people don't come in contact with sick or dead birds, right? They keep talking about, oh, it's just, it's just one little hop before you know it human human transmission, then we'll have a pandemic. Everybody's

going to die. But whatever you do, don't drink the raw milk. How big of a concern should all of us feel watching and listening to you? Right? So for the general public, the risk is still exceedingly low. The people who are at risk are farm workers, people who handle domesticated animals livestock, and really don't drink raw milk. It's really not a good idea that's happening. And again, if the more people get exposed to this virus, the more likely you are to see a mutation that will

allow for human to human transmission. Man, you say that to an Italian, by the way, the minute you eat some food in Italy, you realize right away what slop we get in America. Oh, yeah, Europeans just Italy and France, both, and even Germany, if you go there, but they're all of throughout the areas. Are there? Food is just, there's no comparison, and they like it

more. It's just better. It's it's prepared well, and they know what they're doing, and it's delicious, yeah, and, you know, so in the morning here, we had the, you know, they have a buffet breakfast. Oh, you like cheeses. We have a good cheeses. I have very good cheeses here. And the label, food labeling here, they have a label which is zero KM means zero kilometers mean that that cheese came from less than one kilometer away, and the cheese is raw. Oh, it sure is

sheep cheese, goat cheese, all kinds of cheese. It's all raw. It's all raw milk cheese, and it's all it's not pasteurized. And so the cheeses are so much better. Because, I mean, everyone smells some of that raw milk cheese can sneak into the United States, even though they make a big fuss. It does. Is delicious. It's so good, all of it, the meats, just everything. It's good. And you just think, oh, man, we get Come on. RFK, Jr, you know the FDA is now talking about, oh, we have to

change our food labels. We have to explain what healthy means. And so healthy will mean wallet has some carrots. It's ridiculous. We are so far off base. And I know it's funny. And they asked like, so uncle Adam, what is with the guy who killed the CEO. Why is he a hero? And I say, Well, let me explain what the typical cost is of health insurance. And when I say, you know, 1500 bucks, you get an $8,000 deductible, they're like, what we pay 100 we pay $150

a month, and then a 300 euros and a 350 Euro deductible. Said, now you might wait in line for six months. Yeah. I said, that sucks, but they can't believe it. Like, oh well, yeah. Now, all of a sudden they get it. Like, Oh, okay. Anyway, let's go to Anne Thompson with Dr Peter chin Hall. Oh, hold on a second. So this guy, he's a local, yeah, so he is on the local stations here in the Bay Area, yes, all the time.

And he's kind of greasy, and he's got a funny mustache, and he's just like, he's always like, he's like, a guy who say, hey, wipe your wipe your face. You're all sweaty. And he's he is just every time you turn around, get more shots. The CDC says the strain that his infected dairy cows is different from the one that sent the Louisiana resident to the

hospital. Nine states have reported human cases of bird flu this year, and tonight, California has declared a state of emergency over the outbreak to give local agencies more resources to prevent it from becoming a bigger problem. People should be alert. They should be vigilant, but not scared. It really reminds us all to get flu shots right now, bird flu and human flu, they can exchange genes and really make a variant that is more easily able to enter the human body and make

us more sick. Yeah, easily, it's easily, it's going to happen. How concerned should we be? Just what is the threat to the general public? The good news is Lester, the CDC, says the threat is low. There's no evidence of personal transmission. It has all been from infected animals to humans, so the advice is to avoid sick or dead animals, and if you own a backyard flock, you're a hunter or bird enthusiast, wear personal protective gear, gloves and masks when dealing with the

animals. The same is true for farm workers. Thanks for that update. That was great update. Thank you. So you think that's crazy. You think you think that they're pushing some shots. How about the UK they've they've pulled a classic out norovirus, Coronavirus, influenza and RSV, which is another seasonal virus. NHS bosses are lumping those four things together in a thing they're calling the quad demic quad, which they say is a massive, massive risk to the NHS right now. Listen to that music.

That's the BBC, the quad demic. I mean, yeah, perfect, perfect, very, good. Let's learn a little bit about the quad demic, shall we? Because there's something going on in the UK, BBC Radio. Be a long time before we forget the rush to find a vaccine for COVID. 19. You remember those months in 2020 when the development of the mRNA vaccine was sped up and eventually led to this breakthrough that could now be used to protect against another of our most disruptive winter bugs. Is norovirus? No

John, before we go to NBC, who are jumping on this train? What is norovirus? Yeah, everyone's got had a case of, I think I've had Noro three times. It's, it's a very strange product you get. It's like, it's about, it's like, a, I think it used to be called a 24 hour flu, or the 24 hour bug, yeah, until they got a cool name for it,

yeah, when they got the name for it. But it gives you it's, it lasts a day, and you end up throwing up and and having intense diarrhea for about one, about 24 hours, and it's like, you lose five to six pounds. It's a one of the best diet. It's better than gets much better nose now, because it's faster and it kind of cleans out. Doesn't do that. Don't need a shot. Oh, that's great. You don't need a shot in the gut, by the way. Yeah. Norovirus comes and goes. It's usually comes in in groups. We

had a norovirus recently. There was, I was watching last Norovirus is also free. You don't have to pay 1000 bucks for your ocean. Yes, free. It's when you get it, you know. You know, if you already had Noro, you know it's Noro because it hits you so hard and so fast. And it's not just debilitating, really, except that you have to sit on the toilet a lot. That's kind of debilitating. But there's a last night's news.

There was an outbreak of Noro in out of some restaurant, big meet up in LA and there were came from the oysters. Yeah, I have the I have the clips. You have the clip on that too. I have the clips. Let me see. This is NBC, dr, Natalie Azar, you mentioned the UK. They're caught. They're calling what's happening over there, a quad demo, RSV and norovirus, right? What's happening? Yes, so for so they are seeing right now, what the UK is seeing is a pretty significant rise in flu

hospitalizations and deaths over what they saw a year ago. At this time, what happens in Europe is very likely going to be mirrored here in North America. You know, a lot of times we follow, or we make predictions about the flu season based on what happened in the southern hemisphere. This past year, the southern hemisphere had a pretty predictably bad season, so we're not anticipating a season that's

worse for us here. Ellison, previous years. This is the time, this is the time that we start to see that vaccination rates in the UK aren't that great for people under the age of 65 only 22% are getting vaccinated. It's not good enough. Usually, this year, we're targeting at about 50% of adults getting vaccinated, as we mentioned, for kids, 39% of kids are getting vaccinated this year. That's significantly lower than last year and much, much too low. But we have time to

make it up. Flu season is early. We are not nearly out of the woods yet to get vaccinated. Now you'll be protected for the holidays. Yeah, this is the message. You don't want to be in a quademic like those limeies. Get vaccinated. You look at the quademic in the United Kingdom and the impact of RVs, RSV, norovirus, flu and COVID. She's, I think she said it wrong, did Jesus are first him, no virus, flu and COVID. Should Americans look at that and say, Okay, it's

time. Now, even if we missed what we thought was the window to get vaccinated for the flu or COVID, we should all still go 100% 100% 100% you missed. You missed a window. Take the shot anyway. Flu and COVID, it is definitely not too late. RSE is a one and done, older and you got the RN member j and j1 and done speed vaccine

last year. Great. You're protected that repeated norovirus, the most common culprit of foodborne illness in this country, hand washing, hand washing, hand washing, and staying home if you're sick, you certainly don't want to get more than one of these bugs at the same time, you're going to feel pretty crummy. So here's the LA report. This is also an NBC, and they've Dr Vin Gupta coming in, but they make it is they can't they they know that they're full of crap. They know what they're

doing. They know that they are bending their knee to their big pharma overlords, get the shot, and so they put this package together, and the news model guy, he can't stop laughing about it all, all into The segment. Health officials say at least 80 people got sick with norovirus after, excuse me, eating raw oysters. Santa Monica seafood, one of the vendors for the event, tells NBC News they found no evidence of mishandling, but officials are still

investigating. The FDA is warning that a bigger outbreak linked to oysters and clams, original. From British Columbia were shipped to the country. Is ongoing. They have since been recalled. NBC News Medical contributor, Dr van Gupta joins us now, doctor, thanks for being with us. That was a bad choice to show that clip, because it's not funny to have norovirus. So let me just reset here. This is a nightmare. I've had norovirus before. Like, how quickly could something like this spread?

God, good evening. I prescribe a glass of water for you. We should Norovirus is exactly that it spreads quickly. Unfortunately, you know cruise ships, we often hear about the cruise ship night there, where Norovirus is in one of SA in the buffet or in the raw salad, and it spreads quickly. And part of the reason is it sticks onto our hands, it sticks onto food, and it's hard to kill. And so that's why we're seeing this in oysters. It's not

surprising. It can happen from time to time. The fact that it's spreading, especially from these distributors, is, frankly, unsurprising, but unfortunately, just does mean a lot of people get really sick. So it's so this Norovirus is not is it a seasonal thing? No, isn't it? Is it just it happens when it happens. I mean, where does it come from? It just happens when it happens. Well, it's happening in Canada, the common cold, the flu and RSV

with the colder weather and that pop of someone coughing. Isn't that great. I love it. The common cold, the flu and RSV with the colder weather and more indoor gatherings, respiratory viruses. So I would like somebody to find for me to find someone, somebody has archives of old, old shows. I would like to see one piece of evidence from a decade ago, just 10 years, not a lot, not 20, not 50 years ago, where anyone ever mentioned? RSV, yeah, I don't think we have it. I don't think you can find it

from five years ago. Well, no, here's one from 2016 here's 2016 let's see what this is. Hold on party was only supposed to be for family and friends, but 10s of 1000s descended on a small town in Mexico Monday for a teenage girls traditional 15th birthday celebration after the invitation. Video was accidentally posted publicly. I'm sorry that's RSVPs. No, here is one. I don't have anything before 2021 not that I have in my clip archive. So I think, I don't

think you'll find anything is, this is a bullshit deal. Let's continue. Just added it on there because they're gonna have some vac Oh, and they have the vaccination. So it's all about vaccinations. It's not about anything, really. That's right, and that's yeah, play the clip, the common cold, the flu and RSV, with the colder weather and more indoor gatherings, respiratory viruses

are on a gentle Upswing across Canada, a gentle upswing. That's the Canadian version of uptick, and immunologists like Craig Jenny are worried, worried. So what we're seeing across Canada is a uptick in a number of these infections, according to the latest numbers from the Public Health Agency, Public Health Agency of Canada released today, COVID rates are holding steady, while RSV, or respiratory syncytial virus and influenza are on the rise, pushing some Calgary hospitals over capacity.

There has been, at least in Alberta, much reduced testing for infection. So I think when we're looking at actual confirmed cases, those numbers may be a little misleading. Very young children and the elderly are the most likely to get seriously sick from these viruses among infants. RSV can lead to complications and hospitalizations, while influenza can quadruple the risk of heart attack and triple the risk of stroke among those five and up, and flu cases are

expected to increase. I feel there really is a lot less urgency Toronto pharmacist Serena Hanlon says a month ago she was administering flu or COVID shots every 15 minutes. That's changed. Now we're busier in October than we were compared to last year in October, and then in December, we noticed that it sort of just drops off on a cliff. People who want their vaccines have already had them, with so many Canadians

coming together for the holidays. Hanlon, BOGO and Jenny all say it's important to try and limit the spread of viruses by avoiding gatherings if you're feeling unwell and getting vaccinated. Yeah, get vaccinated. This, of course, is all over the news, and I could only find a 32nd clip of a really interesting Big Pharma News New this morning, the largest pharmacy chain in the United States is accused of

filling unlawful prescriptions for opioids. The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit again. CVS for violating both the Controlled Substances Act and the False Claims Act. The filing alleges that over the past decade, the pharmacy knowingly filed or filled prescriptions that were not valid or legitimate. It's also accused of filling dangerous quantities of opioids or prescriptions written by those known to be engaged in so called pill mills. CVS has

denied those claims. Don't talk about that. Go back to the diseases. There's one that I don't think you caught in your in your listing. Did I miss one? Did I miss a disease? Yeah, the thing that this may have gotten by this is pretty new. This is a plague, of walking pneumonia. Just in time for the holidays, a rise in cases of a contagious lung infection across the country is causing alarm, especially for parents of young children. Ali Rogin talks with an infectious

disease specialist about what's behind the spike. The colder months usually mean more time indoors and higher rates of respiratory illnesses like the flu and COVID, but now the CDC is tracking an uptick in cases of so called walking pneumonia. The respiratory illness usually sickens school aged children and teens, but this year, toddlers are being hit the hardest. Doctor Donald Dunford is the infectious disease specialist at Cleveland Clinic. Doctor Dunford, thank you so much for

being here. What is walking pneumonia and how does it differ from other types of I get it when we talk about walking pneumonia versus a more classic case of pneumonia, essentially that it's typically causing a more mild course of illness. If you think about a typical case of pneumonia, you're going to see abrupt on set of symptoms, whereas with walking pneumonia, which is typically caused by a bacteria called mycoplasma, you're going to see kind of a gradual onset over a few days

leading to the illness. So it's gonna be a few days where you start to feel poorly, you start to get a cough, you start to get a fever, and really over about three to five days, you get a fever, headache, muscle aches, and then start to get a pretty bad cough with him. Well, this is interesting. One of the one of our pastors, kids at the church, had walking pneumonia, and really was like, he wasn't feeling good for a couple days, and he just wasn't getting better. They went to the doctor.

The doctor said, Oh, you have walking pneumonia. Got some antibiotics, and he was back on his feet. You know? It wasn't a huge deal. Yeah, I said walk in the morning. You got you can walk. That's what that's called walking pneumonia. You're wandering around that boogie woogie blues is the other half of that, which you don't get that often. Boogie Woogie blues. Have you ever heard the song walk in pneumonia and the boogie woogie blues? No, no. This is probably it is foreign to you.

Yeah, because, yeah, the walking pneumonia. So let's go. I got these two board clips on it. Let's go. What do we know at this point about why toddlers and other young children are being affected so much this year as compared to previous years? When you think about mycoplasma, typically, we see that about every three to five years there's a cyclical increase in cases. So normally, no matter what happens, every three to five years, you see a rise. We really didn't see that rise that

we expected during the COVID pandemic. So I think right now, because we have probably a higher number of susceptible people, you tend to see that there's a lot of higher cases of severe illness, which is why we're seeing it a lot. Other population room there with him is some crying baby, toddler. Gotta get with toddler. Pops, not pops from Todd. Toddlers shouldn't walking them. So these are so I guess if you're a

toddler, then you're walking around. So they technically it's possible higher cases of severe illness, which is why we're seeing it a lot in the toddler population, along with the population. Toddler population, this is clearly a new demographic, the toddler population. I love it. So soon it'll be the toddler community and the toddler population, along with the classical school age population, which is usually the population is most severely

affected. How contagious is this? It is pretty contagious. Wow, wow. Listen to that insert here in the script. You got to ask about contagiousness relation, which is usually the population severely affected.

How contagious is this? It is pretty contagious. So, yeah, the best way we look at this, as far as the contagiousness, is when you look at how it affects families, and if it enters a family, you actually expect that about 80% of the other kids in the family are going to get sick, about 40% of the adults are gonna get sick, and probably, you know, all of us, classically, will get this probably three times our lifetime, one time during our childhood, one time when we're

adults, whether our 20s, 30s, 40s, and then probably one time when we're elderly. So of course, I have not heard John's clips as. We never do that. And so I'm hoping that in the final clip we're at least someone will ask the question, how concerned shall we be, and can we get a shot for it?

It turns out that the shot, no, that's I'm stunned by this myself, because they have antibiotics, yeah, but, but, but I'm kind of disappointed in the previous clips that you were playing because they were hinting around about mRNA shots for Noro, but they never came to any conclusion about it. But I think they're going to try to pull that stunt that there's one for you, given that we're talking about a post COVID Spike. Here are we seeing similar increases in other respiratory illnesses

as well, or is it mainly confined to this one? Yes, definitely. The other thing we've seen this year that has had a rather high spike in cases has been whooping cough, which is caused by bacteria called border Bordetella pertussis. And it's actually something we, most of us, or all of us get vaccinated for while we get vaccinated for tetanus and diphtheria. Typically, that similarly, will have an increase

in the number of cases about every four to five years. But we've really seen a really high increase in number of cases, probably about three or four times what we would otherwise expect, probably because of that, having the lack of that increase in the number of cases, and I guess, the challenge to the population during the COVID years. And What should parents be looking for to spot walking pneumonia or something more

similar to the common cold? Well, I think where you're going to see in your kids, you know, typically the common cold,

you're really not going to have a fear with it. A kid's gonna have a runny nose, they're gonna have a cough, but they're gonna seem otherwise, well, your kid with mycoplasma, they're more likely to be complaining of feeling achy, and they're gonna seem a little more rundown, and typically, it's gonna be associated with a fever, and when that fever sort of persists a little bit longer than you would otherwise expect with a virus, that's when you might start to worry about mycoplasma.

I think really, whenever you see a child that's starting to act a little bit punky, starting to act a little bit run down, has a fever, it's time to call your pediatrician to check and see if they should get tested and if they would need antibiotics. At that point, this, I didn't like how he kept saying micro plasma. This sounds like a setup for something. I don't even know what that is, because it's been used as a

generic term for unknown bacteria. Yeah, for years, micro plasma or bacteria that can infect different parts of your body, your lung, skin or urinary tract, depends on which type of micro plasma bacteria is causing your infection. Yeah, this is from Web. MD, yeah. Since it's a generic it's almost a generic term for, we don't know what the hell it is. Yeah, that's what it sounds like, by the way.

Not to belabor the pharmaceutical industry. But, you know, I made a couple ozempic jokes here, and they were like, Huh? Like, what? And so it's not the marketing is not really kicked in. But in the Netherlands, you know how they're marketing ozempic They I, I'm going to tell you so the Dutch princesses, the daughters of of the king and queen who I met at the remember, I met him at the castle? Yes, they're, they're little chubby, you know, just, they're just chubby. They're healthy, chubby

girls. They are on ozempic, and everyone knows about it. They're talking about, oh yeah, no, they're taking it ozempic. That's the way to do it. That's actually the way to do it. It's a good way to do it. I think just convince everybody that's the way to go. Yeah. All right, I know you. I know you have a presentation on the on the Christmas driver, but before we get to that Christmas driver.

It was wonderful to follow this phony baloney shut down nonsense, which, of course, we know is always phony baloney. It's It's been this way since the beginning of the show one time Trump actually did shut down the government. But it's always Oh, just in time. And I loved this new trick, which was really interesting. Okay, so we strip everything out of the bill, and then Trump puts in a negotiating tactic. Oh, but we want to remove the debt ceiling. So of course, whether it was

purposeful or whether they were being authentic and genuine. Of course, there's Republicans like chip Roy and Massey thinking, oh no, we can't do that. We can't allow you to print anything you want. Oh, okay, we'll just take it out. So all of a sudden, Trump is running the show, but all of a sudden he isn't running the show. Come on. It was so obvious what they were doing. Mean, let's just get see. We'll put in a couple things for the

100 million, for the victims of the hurricanes. We'll put in some things here, there, and then for the farmers, and then we'll take out Trump's. Oh, but Trump is good. He's commanding everybody to do this above us. Okay? He just wanted this sign when all the nonsense out. Just continue until March so we can

figure it out again. But the media had a very specific goal they want so badly for President elect Trump to get mad at Elon, yeah, this has been go yes, and you're over there, and even by just a short period of time you're gone, yeah, it's gotten worse. Here's everybody's they're going, I would just give my background. I don't have any clips. Oh, but they're good. They have gone on and on and on about, oh, this is a bromance. They're gonna break up. It's going to be barely bad when it

happens. They got everything but the dead pool. You know, they haven't done that. You've come up with any betting format saying, When is they going to break up the tool? And it's going to be nasty. Well, I'll play first. I'll play the German, Deutsche Villa news report, where they start to hint at No, this is all Elon. It's all about. You know, Elon is running the show, not President Trump. Elon in the United States, lawmakers have approved a new spending bill to avoid a

government shutdown. The Senate dropped normal procedure to fast track a vote minutes after the midnight deadline had passed, both Republican and Democrat lawmakers supported the new plan. It includes billions of dollars for disaster aid farmers and funding for the US government until mid March of next year. But it did not include a condition that President Elect Donald Trump had demanded, which is a change to the debt limit to allow the government to take on new debt.

The White House says President Joe Biden will plan into law. So just how difficult was it for Democrats and Republicans to

finally find a compromise and pass the budget? This was an unnecessary Herculean task to get people this is an American they bring an American guy on to do this all to actually keep our government functioning here in the United States, Speaker Johnson, it was only on Tuesday had first proposed this continuing resolution bill that had significant other pieces, including reducing prescription drug prices, restricting investments in China due to the essentially detente or cold war

that is happening, at least economically with China at this point. But it was Elon Musk who jumped in, the shadow President himself, and said made false statements about what was in the bill, and very likely had issues with the restrictions on the China investment, as his

companies are heavily invested in China. Oh, so that, yeah, this is the twist they've been putting this on local, locally to PBS and l it's Musk is because is more is cozying up to China, and he can't have any of that anti China stuff in there. So that's the reason Musk was getting involved. Was a China here's the here's the mini cut. There are new concerns about Elon Musk's growing influence over Donald Trump, and perhaps I should say President Elon Musk will be exerting points over the

House Republican Conference. But what is different here is Elon Musk having an influence on kind of the day to day operations and policy from the White House to Congress. He's a billionaire bully. Elon Musk has a lot of influence with Trump right now. It's not Donald Trump asking for this. It's very clearly President Elon Musk asking for this. President Elon Musk, oh yeah, they want him to get mad at musk. So bad, so bad. They

want it so bad. Here's, well, the real back story here is that Musk has threatened because he's got so they know he's got more money than Soros. That's a primary, and he's threatened to, first of all, I threatened the primary. All the Republicans had voted for the bill, the original bill, the 1500 page bill, and then he posted recently that he's, he's thinking about primary Democrats with more moderate Democrats who were asshole Democrats. And so he's so this is what the real threat

is. Musk is all his money that, oh yeah, that he can finance. He can literally do what he says and not even put a dent in his in his net worth. Here is ABC, who really laid it on thick, because, and this is before they had the deal, of course, and this was their main talking point for a while. Oh, but they're taking out cancer. Search for kids. These heartless, heartless, heartless bastards, heartless

bastards. Listen to the report. They did. Government shutdown, though, is not the only consequence of a failed funding bill. When musk and Trump killed the budget deal, cancer research for kids became collateral damage. Damaged families left the Goodmans understand all too well. When Nancy Goodman lost her eight year old son, Jacob, to an aggressive form of brain cancer, she decided to spend the rest of her life fighting for

the research and treatments that could have saved him. She thought she had secured that funding, and then the tweets started. Okay, so that was just normal. MSNBC. Alex Wagner, oh, man, for anyone who might not know, this is Gabriella Miller, I was diagnosed when I was nine, and now, once you get cancer, please pay attention to the music. Kinda gotta be a grown up.

Don't really have a childhood. Less and less kids are gonna have their childhood if awareness people don't raise a awareness and raise funds a little produces st Jude's commercials, same kid, hold on. A little over a decade ago, discover doctors discovered an inoperable tumor the size of a walnut in Gabriella is brain less than a year later, she passed away, but in the time that she had, Gabriella lobbied the federal government to fund pediatric cancer research so that other kids like her in the

future could have a fighting chance. And the year after, Gabriella is death, that funding got passed, and President Obama signed it into law, but this year, this week, renewing that funding was one of the things Republicans thought was too Porky, too much of a special interest, so it got cut. These horrible people. Trump caused cut from the continuing resolution. It didn't get cut from anything else. Trump, causes cancer. That is your kid in kids,

it's this is so evil, and this is a dead kid. Oh, let's bring her up. Throw some get the music. You got the music, I got the music. It's gonna be great. That is, you're right, despicable, evil and despicable. And that's MSNBC. Then A Funny Thing Happened on the view as it pertains to President elect Trump and Elon Musk and JD, President musk and President mosque. So much is going on in the world is quite wonderful. As

DC barrels towards yet another government shutdown. A bipartisan bill to keep the lights on was scrapped, and it has a lot to a lot of folks asking, Who is in charge? Because I've been saying it for a while. I've been Yes, you have girlfriend. I think Elon must believes he's president. I do I call I've called him vice president. I called him president because I don't know what JD is doing. I hardly ever. I don't, I don't remember last time we even talked about JD,

he's planning the presidency when he get rid of Trump. So you think it's musk, it must Vance possible. Hey, you know who stay away from the stairways. You know people put the leg out to trip people down the stairs. Watch out. Now, would you view that as a problem, problematic statement that would be made there about harmless presidenting The president or Yeah, do you think that's a statement that is a problem, not for her? Well, the ABC lawyers thought so. They came back from the break.

Okay, I need to clean something up because my cat lays in wait for me on my stairs all the time. And that's what I was refer I was thinking of that. I wasn't trying to indicate that they were actually standing there with their legs out, hoping he would trip. No, it was like anything. No, it was, it was light hearted, and it's the holidays. Come on. My goodness, you did not mean that anybody should hurt the

president. No, okay, you know the thing about this show, there is no way not to step and poo. There is no way to do it. There is no way not to do it. ABC and Disney, they are afraid after. That stuff. Yeah, they're making all kinds of changes. They dropped a bunch of episodes of some kids show trans kids. They're, they're completely they looked at their numbers, yeah, oh yeah, that you're probably right. They're saying, you know, and they're, they have to be quick on the draw, because they

ABC door, Disney is huge. Corporation got all kinds of little got me, if you look at their corporate structure, they just, like hundreds of companies, yeah, anyway, yeah, they have to make these corrections. This shows these people have got to go. They have to somehow. I've always said I gave Whoopi six months, I think about a month ago, so she's got five months left. Yeah? Well, who knows, who knows, but she's gone. And then they have to get rid of Sonny hostins, and then they then Joy,

I guess, makes the most money with her. Does Joy make the most she does? Yeah, I think she's doing, you know, she's been there the longest to bring back Barbara. She's still alive. Is she still alive? Barbara Walton, do I look her up? I don't know if she is all right. So this Christmas attack has been big news here, and I presume you have a presentation just looking at

some of your clips. Yes, I have a lot of clips, and I think it's been misrepresented a lot of different ways, for sure, considering what people are saying about it here, yes, what are they saying about it there? Just so I can, well, they're saying that the message, so the messaging, they're trying to make it sound like this guy was basically a right wing nut job. And if you look at the protests in Germany, if you look at what people are saying, no, no. They all just like, deport. They're

like, get rid of everybody. They are sick of all of it. And do you know that they're all most of these Christmas markets around Europe, they have barriers now because of this very issue. And this tiny little town, this tiny little market, didn't have them. No, they had no this actually explained in the report. Oh, okay, all right, go. They did have them. Oh, but they weren't. Oh, no, they they had them, but they had a ambulance lane that you could get through if you knew what you

were doing. So. But they had them there too. But these markets, if people should look them up, Christmas market Germany, and look at the photos, these things are elaborate and they're huge. And there was dealing with one of these German markets before this happened, there were, like a, there was a whole Muslim protest against them, the Christmas market in Germany. Yeah, it's like because they don't like it, yeah. Well, that's very suspicious too. There's no reason for that.

But let's start with, I got just a PBS. This is the Christmas market PBS. This is the general 57 second. This is all they had for the thing. And then I'm going to switch to the BBC, where they actually try to analyze it. Got it wrong, I think. But let's go with Christmas market. PBS, Germans are mourning the victims of an apparent attack at a Christmas

market. Church bells told in Magdeburg, Germany at the exact time a man intentionally drove his car into a crowd of people last night, killing five and injuring more than 200 a nine year old child is among the dead. The suspect surrendered to police at the scene. Officials say he's from Saudi Arabia and has lived in Germany for nearly 20 years. A review of his social media accounts show he shared anti Islamic statements and expressed support for Germany's far right anti immigrant

political party. It is now important that we clarify the situation and that this is done with the utmost precision and accuracy. Nothing must remain uninvestigated. And of course, we must understand the perpetrator, his actions, his motives, so that we can respond with the necessary criminal and other consequences. And we will Investigators say the attack may have been motivated by anger over Germany's treatment of Saudi refugees.

Okay, so that summarized it as probably the way they all summarized it, and it is horseshit. But the BBC even went even further and did a huge elaborate thing, and they this was a over the weekend, and it was presented by our show friend, of the show, Helena Humphrey. Is she a friend of the show? Well, she follows us. Oh, but she obviously she's not a friend of the show. She wrote this scathing complaint about us. For me, does she still follow you? Yeah, I follow on both LinkedIn

and Twitter by her, huh? Is she taking our material? No, she takes none of our material, believe me, all right, she, in fact, the one thing I had a one kind of a semi interaction with her. She was on LinkedIn, and I ran into her profile. I said, Did she following me? And she had, she, her, yeah, on. Her on her LinkedIn profile, and I know she had, she her on her

Twitter thing too. So I sent her a direct message linking to my essay that's on sub stack about he her and how you can't get work if you do that shit, because people see us some sort of a nut ball. She never responded. Said anything to me, but I noticed that after a month or so she took it off, so that's Oh, okay, so you have influence. Good job. Yeah, good job. You

help. You helping out the mainstreamers. Good job. So she does this elaborate report and BBC, and I think it completely misses the point, but they do the best job of missing the point by going deep into it. This is x market, one BBC, at least five people were killed when a man drove through a crowd at high speed. Along with those five deaths, city officials say that 200 people have been injured, many of them seriously. We can now name the suspect in

the attack as Talib al Abdul Muslim. He is a 50 year old doctor from Saudi Arabia. Officials say that he appears to have been motivated by resentment the treatment of refugees in Germany, rather than religion. The BBC has been told that the Saudi authorities passed on warnings about him. Well, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has visited the scene. He's called what happened in Magdeburg? Quote, a terrible

act. There are questions about security after it emerged the suspect drove through an entrance reserved for ambulances and official vehicles. Our correspondent, Anna Foster is in Magdeburg. As night fell, hundreds of people attended a vigil at the city's Cathedral, a packed and somber affair. Some

of the first responders were among the mourners. Chancellor Olaf Scholz sat next to Germany's President 24 hours ago, this market was packed with people, but the laughter and celebration was cut devastatingly short when a car sped through the crowds, killing five people and injuring 200 more. The cast sped past us, and the police ran after it. Other emergency services arrived, evacuated people and diverted traffic. People were still panicking and screaming, yeah, yeah, it was bad. All right,

that was actually better. That little segment was better than the PBS report. Let's go to two we now know it used the rescue entrance to get into the square, a gap deliberately left for ambulances to have access. Police say the deadly rampage lasted three minutes. Armed Police quickly arrested a man, a doctor, originally from Saudi Arabia, but living here for

nearly 20 years, his motive is still under question. As things stand at the moment, it looks as if the background to the crime could have been disgruntled with the way Saudi Arabian refugees are treated in Germany. But what exactly is behind it is still under investigation. Emotions are running high here. Alongside the sadness, there's an undercurrent of anger against politicians who some feel didn't make this place safe enough. Earlier today, Chancellor Olaf

Scholz came to lay a white rose and promise an investigation. It is a dreadful tragedy that so many people were killed and injured, we send our sympathy to those who are injured, and I express the solidarity of the entire country. Well, in just the last few hours, around 100 far right protesters gathered in the streets of Magdeburg. The March called for the RE

migration of immigrants living in Germany. The Christmas market attack will likely add to the debate over security and immigration before national elections in February, with opinion polls showing the far right Alternative for Germany, party is likely to perform strongly, and while a motive for the attack is still unclear, our SECURITY CORRESPONDENT Frank Gardner has been looking into the suspect, Talib al Abdul Masan and alleged warnings from the Saudi government about him.

Yeah, yeah. I heard they were they had been warning about this guy. Well, there's also another story where this a friend of this guy, an Arab from another Saudi woman, who turned him into the cops, and they paid no attention to her commentary, she said that he's going to do this and so what? So here's what right at this point is where you start saying yourself, Wait a minute, yeah, this guy's supposed This is a bull crap.

Yeah, this guy supposedly is a right winger who who's gave up on Islam, and he is, and he's irked at the German government for not treating other Saudis who come over, who become atheists, basically, and not treating them right. And so he's going to plow into a Christmas market full of Christians again. Nothing to do with anything. Something doesn't add up. But let's continue with this, with this narrative, with the next clip, they say that they passed four

so called notes, verbal. These are official diplomatic notifications that they sent from Saudi Arabia to Germany. I don't have the dates for them, unfortunately, but they sent three of them to German intelligence agencies and one of them to the German Foreign Ministry, warning they say about Taliban's extreme views that he held. Now there are two sides to this. There is a view taken by at least one respected counter terrorism expert that I know of who's saying that this is

something of a bit of a disinformation campaign. He's even saying that this is the Saudis trying to blacken his name. Well, it's pretty black right now, obviously, but trying to basically say that here was somebody who was dangerous back then. Why? Because he was allegedly trying to help a number of people who had left Saudi Arabia and were either dissidents political distance or people who were trying to turn

their back on their Islamic faith. Saudi Arabia being very much a monolithic one faith country, Islam, and this man, Tala Bucha, had left his religion, his of his birthplace. So in Islam, you're not supposed to leave your religion. And he has turned into somebody that the German interior minister, federal interior minister, Mr. Fauci, has referred to as islamophobe. And certainly some of the texts that some of the tweets that he posted and that are being reported in German

media, are exactly that Islamophobic. So there are two sides to this, but it does seem that the Saudi authorities were concerned about this man's extreme views. So are they trying to make him sound like he's an AFD supporter? Is that? Is that? What's going on here? Yeah, this is the idea, it seems to me, is to make it seem as though he is an AF. Is with AFP, I guess, right. AFD, alternative for Deutschland. Oh, yeah, okay. FD, the the right wingers of Germany, who are trying to, as

we know, are Nazis. Yeah, they're Nazis. They're no good. They also very popular. It is very practical, very popular. But yeah, they they are actually, so they're trying to make that out. And I got two more of these little clips, and I'll get to the one that's important, if you don't mind listening to these other ones. But this is we can go to this one. Go this one's actually been renamed kind of

differently. This was exomes. Market for joining me live now is Rebecca schoenenbach, a counter extremism consultant. Rebecca, thank you very much for being with us. I just want to begin by asking you, what do you make of the profile of the suspect? Is there anything that stands out to you? Thanks for having me. What stands out most is that he seems to have such a suffer from a prosecution complex. So a lot of

persecution. Prosecution complex person means persecution because her English is so so mediocre that she keeps saying prosecution, okay, complex. So a lot of his tweets, on a lot of his direct messages, show that he felt prosecuted by the German state and even by the police, and he accused other secular Muslims, or ex Muslims, of also prosecuting him. And it is true that he defamed some of them, and they had to assume him

in court, and they won. So it seems to be a mixture of him accusing others, than feeling that they go after him, feeling suppressed by the German state. That is the most significant thing that stands out, apart from his hatred of Islam and his Fandom of Elon Musk and the far right AFD in Germany, yeah. Okay, so when they say ex Muslims in this context, is he talking about Muslims who are no longer Muslims, or Muslims who

tweet on x. A little confusing. Well, it doesn't really make any difference when we start listening to this bull crap and this follower of Elon Musk, they throw that in. I mean, I could have put some sound effects in here to emphasize what she's

going on about. But this is the this is the last of these clips and and BBC goes through a really elaborate process here to try to sell us on this idea that this guy is some sort of a right wing nut, because they bring out, first they bring in that other guy, then they bring out this guy, and then they make to try to come to some conclusion he hates Islam and all the rest of it. And so play this and then the kicker is coming.

So tell us more about that. With regards to Elon Musk, for example, I just wonder more generally, when you're looking at kind of cases of extremism, and of course, we don't know the motive here, but to what extent are we seeing, for example, conspiracy theories or misinformation, and the amplification of that feeding into those kind of beliefs?

Well, he was an advocate for re migration. So he was a staunch critic, not only of Islam, but of any sort of migration to Germany, but particularly the migration of Muslims, of Muslim countries. And he favored people who were known as critics of Islam, not only of Islamism, but of Islam, such as Tommy Robinson in Great Britain. He retreated some of Elon Musk takes, he didn't particularly retreat all the right wing extremism theories. So it does not seem that his whole world view was

right wing extremism. He also tweeted a lot about sexual abuse. He tweeted a lot about women's rights, some facts that are really to be criticized for anybody advocating for women's rights, but he mixed it with theories with conspiracy. But most outstanding were his own perception of the German state, of the treatment of refugees, of the German police, and he even accused his own lawyers to have betrayed him. No man, I love the heavy handedness on musk. That's

pretty good. I like that. Yeah, this is like a worldwide effort. These things are all seem to be worldwide. Well, they're all They're afraid of him, because they see what he was. His power is King musk. He's the president there's so then I run into this, and we've had, you know, even a dude named Mohammed, I think, got this completely wrong, this woman, who is fairly famous on the social she's an Iranian German named moral, and she does these kinds of takes on things.

And this is the this clip is the Eximus attacker, takiyah, which is a technique used by Shia Muslims, the lie, and she outlines what this guy is really all about, as far as she's concerned. And this is the only thing that rings true. I want to address the misinformation spreading about Talib al Abdul MAs and the terrorists behind the Christmas market attack in Magdeburg, Germany, contrary to some

claims, he was neither an atheist nor an ex Muslim. Talib Fauci portrayed himself as an atheist, ex Muslim and victim of the Saudi regime, while simultaneously accusing the German government of prosecuting female Saudi asylum seekers and promoting an agenda to islamize Europe. His identity as a radical Shia Muslim is evident even from his name, which explains his hostility towards Saudi Arabia and his wicked

jihadi agenda. Leaked tweets and chat screenshots now circulating on IX reveal his connection to radical Islamist networks, including a counseling to ISIS, an ex Muslim organizations and activists and IX have also reported receiving direct threats from Talib. Ask yourself, why wouldn't atheist threaten ex Muslims? It doesn't make sense. This is a classic example of taqiyyah, an Islamic practice that allows Muslims to lie and deceive to advance Islamic goals

or agendas. Talib s, false narrative designed to sow division chaos and terror, reveals the psychopathy and manipulative nature of a jihadist, his actions seek to destabilize and confuse society, to paralyze any meaningful response to radical threats by portraying himself as a victim of Sunni Saudi Arabia, who he, from his radical Shia perspective, considers fake Muslims. He furthers both his jihadist goals and his sectarian battle. Individuals like Talib

have no loyalty to earthly life. Their set of masochistic lives are entirely devoted to preparing for Judgment Day, where the Infidel will finally suffer eternal torture and hell fire while they will be rewarded in paradise for their earthly sacrifices, complete with the infamous promise of 72 virgins. Without a doubt, Talib is not an atheist. For terrorists like him, life is a temporary means to serve his. Violent, apocalyptic vision of divine will.

Well, I'll say that makes sense. It not only makes sense, and people should look up to Kia, which is spelled T, A, Q, i, y, y, A, which is a practice that is was discussed quite a bit after 911 and it has more to do with Shia Muslims than it does the Sunnis. And it is, it is a practice of lying for certain purpose. And this guy, she goes on in her particular after this is released, she somebody put together a thread of her discoveries of on both the different chat rooms and

elsewhere. Of all his commentaries, they're all radical. They're all extremist Shiite stuff and was and this, this narrative of him being a right winger, he's a left winger. Completely being a right winger is just bogus. This whole story is a complete cover up of what's really going on here. They don't want to talk about Wow. And that was she that was still in her BBC interview, that bit about takia. No, no. This is separate. This completely separate. Okay,

standalone, wow. This woman stand alone that wasn't on BBC. No, the BBC is going with the right winger, Musk, yeah, Trump's bad. I mean, Helena Humphries is a Trump hater, so she'd been fitting right in with this no problem, and the whole BBC narrative was just to make the part of the cover up. Wow, wow. Now it's also possible they're just completely stupid, and they just immediately think, oh, X, Twitter, Trump, but musk, don't forget musk. Well, I actually have two, two quick clips, also

from the BBC. The best guesstimate that you can make, looking at what he has been communicating over the last couple of years is that he really belongs into this conspiratorial narrative category of extremists, which have been growing quite significantly since the Coronavirus epidemic. And social media companies are really not

doing anything against those people. They are not quite effective in preventing Islamist terrorism, content which they know best, but conspiratorial narratives such as this especially individualized, conspiratorial narratives, because he also felt personally persecuted by the German police, is something that these companies simply don't look at, and the German security forces neither have the legal mandate nor the resources to monitor the entire internet all the time.

Oh, so because the narrative here is because Musk fired the Trust and Safety Team. This is then no one could figure it out. Yeah, but it was no one was paying attention. They should have taken his tweets down. Let's just blame X, yeah. But I mean, even if you had monitored the internet and seen his conspiracy theories, you wouldn't think they would lead to a violent act like this, would you? Well, not necessarily, but he did say he is going to do an attack. He did

say he's going to take revenge. So there were clear formulations, but, but the problem is, and this is going to be always a difficult thing of assessment for the security forces to go over. Unfortunately, because the big social media companies, in this case, x, where all of this material is. Have not gotten better, but they reduced their

content monitoring capabilities and investments. You have so much hatred and so many fantasies of violence on the internet that it's really hard to distinguish what is just a person that is disturbed and just lives disturbed ideas out on the internet, and which one of those is a person that then gets into a car and plows through a Christmas market? I take your point that the worst and worrying signs online. Basically, he was anti system. There's that the sort of

broadcast, blah, blah, blah. So I really like your your analysis of this, and they're just running the other direction. They're like, hey, you know musk, he doesn't, he doesn't check stuff, and if, if he had, hadn't fired everybody, then this wouldn't have happened. Yes, his fault. Somehow, it's President Musk's fault. Yeah, that's really bad. That's really bad. It's really bad that mainstream media is not doing its job, but they're not supposed to do their job. They're supposed to sell drugs.

Yeah, yes, yes. So, you know, they get you in the right mood. You go take some, you know, get nervous and all worked up. I mean, some of the I have some tick tock clips we can play in the second half of the show, but we were people all work. Well, hold, on, hold on hold on, I'm gonna set you up for your Tiktok clips before we take a break and we have a long donation segment, because we have two shows, and people supported both shows, that was very nice.

Have a couple of Tiktok clips here. Where are my Tiktok clips? Because, you know, we're coming down to the wire. Wait, wait, what? No, I don't have tick tock clips from tick tock. I have clips about tick tock, which will, which will set you up for tick tock. You see, you see what I'm doing, huh? Yeah, okay, hold on. I'm waiting for you to finally cave. Good luck. Good luck. Where's my tick tock clips? Um, it's got to be, I'm sorry, here I am trying to set you up big. Let me see tick tock.

Oh, yeah, okay. This is under, uh, what is this under? Oh, my, you know it's the problem is, it's so small on this screen that I just can't see it anymore. Your eyes are going, well, there's that big tech. No, I had it under this is, this is maddening. I can't actually see it. I know I stuck them in here. What is? Oh, here we here we go. Here we go. Okay, I'm sorry. ABC, Good Morning America. The battle over

Tiktok is headed to Supreme Court. The justices agreed to hear the social media apps challenge to a law that could ban it in the US, starting next month. It's working outrage online here to break down the case. Good morning kind of a complicated Yeah, case. Congress has ordered by dance. The Chinese company to sell tick tock by dance is challenging, right? The law. So who's got the better argument? Who's likely to prevail? So the government probably has the stronger

argument going into this. The argument from a by dance or tick tock is, this is a first amendment issue, right? They're stopping us from engaging in free speech. The government saying, This isn't about speech. This is about regulating a foreign government who is gathering data on Americans. And remember, that is a practical matter. Foreign individuals aren't allowed to own broadcast licenses, for example, in this country already, and so their position is this really isn't

significantly different than that. It just depends on how you look at the case. Remember, there's also the Tiktok users also filed a separate lawsuit. Also part of this is being heard. Let's just reiterate the no agenda stance on this, because it's not like Tiktok is gathering any more data than Google or meta or X for that matter. Don't forget, probably

less, probably less. And this is in our mind, looking at the bill, who co sponsored the bill, who got the most money from, in fact, Google, more than anybody, were Senators. How's it sound as a congressman who got, got a lot of donations for their, you know, for their campaigns, from Google. And this has always been about competition, these guys are eating Silicon Valley's lunch, they've got a whole different algo, which is really what people want to get rid of, because this algo works like

people are loving the tick tock. So this is nothing about that. And I should go ahead and I should mention, based on that clip you just played, broadcasters are licensed by the government. Yes, social. Media Networks are not licensed, and they're not subject to the same rules and regulations. And so to make that

analogy, which yes, lawyer did, is bull crap. Well, I'm thinking, so there is a the Supreme Court has because I got an analysis from Rob the constitutional lawyer, the Supreme Court has said, okay, look, you can come in on the 10th of January. There's everyone has to write their

13,000 word essay. So something is going to go down. We're not quite sure what, and if the Supreme Court will look at all this and have an opinion before the January 19 deadline, I'm thinking Trump is using this as a chit because he doesn't like how Silicon Valley has op certainly Google and things that how they portray him. There's a lot of personal issues he has. He just just doesn't like them, per se. So he may be using this as a as a chit or a chip against them.

Get two more short clips. The court is moving fast, though. Okay, so the court will hear the case. What? Nine days before the deadline to sell, they've chosen not to pause the law. So what do you read into that? And what about the Tiktok users? What the ban does go into effect? It seems pretty clear the courts moving quickly. They've expedited this. I'd expect something from them in the relatively near future, Tiktok users accounts are not going to get zapped, right? They're not

going to just go away. Tiktok still going to be there. The question is going to be, who can see it, who can use it? How can they use it? Those are the sorts of questions that's different. What? Yeah, who can see it? What does that even mean? I don't know. I don't know. I can use it and you can't. I don't know. I mean, that's what it sounds like. Let's listen to the last clip. And we know, by the way, wait, wait, wait, that's a very whatever, because of what we just said right there. That

shows you the analysis they're doing stinks. And we know that Donald, Donald Trump met with the tick tock. CE. This Week at Mar a Lago. Oh, no, he said he had the warm spot. Now for for Tiktok, is there anything he could do with this out of his hands? So January 19, this goes into effect. He takes office january 20, but he still could have a big impact. Number one, he could tell his Attorney General, don't enforce this at all. So that could be some level of reassurance. He could also

seek to try and get Congress to repeal it. You could also try and delay it. So you have some options here if he decides to be on Tiktok. So he wanted the band at one point, he did correct in his first administration, by executive order, tried to ban it seems he's changed his position a bit. What do you think? What do you think at this point? What's what's going to happen? I think it's a free speech issue, period. And it's just a, it's a, it's like, and it's also anti

competitive. Well, what this thing, which is, what your point is, which is the anti competitive nature of it, because it it kicks ass. And so this is what the real issue is, because, oh God, these guys are eating our lunch, and God knows what else can happen. I mean, we're already going to have trouble in our search engines because of the damned AI stuff. I mean, this is these guys are freaked, and so they're looking for help. Let government help us. Help us stay in business

because we're incompetent. Boneheads, talk, talk, tick tock. All right, everybody. Time for John's tick tock clips of the day, his tick tock Clip of the Day. I got, I got four of them, actually five. To be honest, I start with that. I'm going to start with this one, which is one that's, gee, it's already past due because of this guy. There's some jerk that's, this is under, not under talk but talker. This is the dude

clip. And this is a guy who comes on and he's, he's a Trump hater, oh God, and he's just really on, hold on this is a two minute tick tock clip. It's worth it, all right. It's the only long clip I have today. Oh man. All right, set it up. This guy is going to tell us that, you know, that Trump's not going to get in office, because, you know, this is, if it wasn't Jamie Raskin was going to stop him, but, but there's going to be something that's going to happen on the

20th and that's going to prevent him. Wait a minute. Oh, I guess I recorded this like day before the 20th. And now, what is the date today? I don't know, 20 seconds. Yes, 22nd and it hadn't happened. But, okay, there's a there's a backup plan. Here's what we're gonna do. And this guy is such a glib he's kind of like a working class looking guy. He's a but he's so glib and convinced that the Trump, Trump got into some nefarious means,

and everybody hates him, and we're gonna fix it. Guys, don't forget, it's We the People. Okay, we have executive order coming out, 13848, right? It's going to be implemented spin out. Donald Trump's helped create it, and it's going to come back to bite him in the ass, because it it, what it does is it says how we have to proceed when we realize that there has been outside interference in our elections, there definitely has been.

They're going to reveal that on the 20th of December, because 45 days from November 6 brings us to December 20, which is six days from today. So next this coming Friday. So have a great weekend. Do your laundry, hang your stuff out. If you can change the sheets to your bed, go grocery shopping, get everything set up, go to church tomorrow, or don't pray at home.

Hold hands. Love the ones you're with. Be good to yourselves, and let's get our country back right next week, the Friday, I have a feeling this executive order, 13848, will be implemented, and if not a month from then, December 20 to January. 20, the day of the inauguration, we the people, are going to have to show up in Washington and have this guy step down. The 3% rule states that if you have 3% of a world of a group of people's population, 3% of a particular

population. If they gather in mass, they can change everything. So we have 330 million Americans. 10% of that is 33 million. And what's a third of that 11 million? 11 million of us have to show up on Washington, DC on january 20, and have this guy step down. He'll see 11 million people talk about a crowd. He'll have a coronary. It'll have to step down. We got to do it, and we can't depend on the people out

west. God bless. But for those of us who are in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Long Island, Connecticut, everybody, we got to converge on Washington, black, white, trans, lgbq, two drag queens, peacefully, cohesively, we're going to meet and have this guy step down on january 20. That's our failsafe. I would pay good money to see 11 million trans and drag queens show up in Washington. I could sell tickets. I would too. Actually Executive Order 13.

848, imposing certain sanctions in the event of a foreign interference in a United States election. All right, so I guess that didn't happen. Ah, bummer. So this delusional character is you just have to wonder out. But I mean, because he's dead, he's very sincere. But what you know this is, this is what goes on on that side. It's the same thing as here's a here's the talk, talk 2025 gal.

How does it feel to those people who voted for Donald Trump to know that he is now accepting the fact that he is, in fact, the endorser of project 2025 I'm not sure what other evidence you needed. I mean, we all told you, he told you also His name is listed in the document hundreds of times. And not only that, there were video footage of him endorsing the Heritage Foundation and their little project, 2025 manuscript, which

is now your new Bible. Get used to it. I mean, he literally said to you, hey, if you vote for me this time, you'll never have to do that again. Here we are just a reminder. Hitler was a product of a democracy. Democracies really only work friends if the people in charge are not lunatics and they follow the rules, and Donald Trump is, in fact, a fucking lunatic. And thank you so much. I'm so excited for the next four years of my life. You know, these people are the last of the Mohicans. They're

dying off. I mean, they're just, they're trying, desperately trying, to get some clicks and some likes, not less of the most. I don't think this is gonna this. That's a good, interesting analogy. Well, here's Rosie O'Donnell. Well, there's that. What can we say about Elon Musk? How did this

happen? How is this allowed to happen? How is the richest man in the world allowed to buy the presidency, and where are the scholars and where are the lawyers, and where are the poets and the political commentators who are going to not normalize this insanity. It is absolutely insane, insane, and those Tesla cars are so ugly. She throws that in gratuitously at the end. She should move to the coswalts with the with Ellen co live there. It's, I hear. The weather's great. The weather's great.

All right, so to get off the Trump Musk thing, and now we got to generalize tik tokers that have dumb things to say. And we'll start with the Gen Z idiot. To know, how does it feel to those people who voted for Donald Trump to know that he is now accepting the fact that he is, in fact, the endorser of project 2025 I'm not sure what other evidence you needed. I mean, we all told you, he told you also His name is listed in the document hundreds

of times. Okay, and skip this one. This is actually this. It's basically the same clip. Yeah, yeah, okay, that's not the one I wanted. Here's the last one. This is the kicker. Everybody get ready, John. This is a woman. This is a woman, guy, Gal, he, they, she, it, I don't know. Got blue lips, blue lipstick, fat and true. And try gender. Try gender. Okay, here we go. I am trying gender, which means, like a triangle, I have

three genders, male, female and non binary. And the difference between tri gender and gender fluid is that I feel all three of these genders at the same time. All the time. It doesn't ever shift or change, or I feel one gender more strongly than the other, like gender fluid tends to be also, I should recognize and accept that a lot of people don't see non binary as a third gender. They see it as something completely separate

from the binary of male and female. But for me, it's like a third gender, or I guess you could call it a third identity. Oh, John. Oh, John. You know, please, I'd ask everybody to not encourage John, telling him these clips are great on email, because it only gets more of this. Yes, I'm sorry you get you dropped out. Oh, I'm asking people not to interview. Can you hear me? What you get? You notice it? People are encouraging me. You've noticed this. Yeah, they need to stop

this. They need to stop this, because this is hurting the show. At this point, it's hurting the show. It's hurting the show, man, it's killing this show. Tina was actually she, uh, well, here's a here's a clip that's swimming, but got this, wait, But wait, there's more you. Well, this is not really a tick tock clip, but it's a good clip that's along the same dumb lines. Okay. This is Daniel Baldwin on the Diddy tapes. Look at Diddy, for instance. Let's

take a look at him. Let's take a look at he has videos. He has videos of the parties. Now, what I've heard, which I don't know how much of it is in mainstream media, I don't really follow the story that much, sure, but what I've heard from friends that are attorneys, friends of mine that have represented me before, agents and so on, is there's a bidding war going on right now.

They're driving that price up, because if you want your client and your famous actor to not be involved, or famous singer to not come out. Here's the price and that they're just selling to the individuals that are in those this is what I heard. They're selling those videos. So if you're Tommy X, and Tommy X is a big, big movie star, and he was at some of the Diddy parties. He was one of those bedrooms with three other men, and He's happily married to a woman and blah, Tommy doesn't

want that video to come out. He does not want it to come out. Same thing for Jeffrey Epstein. Now, the The interesting thing about the Epstein, and the theory about Epstein, is we know he filmed people, for sure. On that island, he has a lot of movies, a lot of films, of people that are very, very powerful, political figures and entertainers, business people. So do you really believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself? And, of course,

okay, so there's other theories that he's in Lebanon. He never died at all, having the weight of owning those films right now over people. So will Donald Trump release those films? Oh, I believe Donald Trump. Trump probably has a lot of friends that are in those videos too. I don't know if he behooves him to release them, either. But what happens if iconic African Americans or iconic Japanese Americans or iconic Anglo Americans, who I mean,

former presidents, what happens if they're in those videos? What does that do to the herding of the sheep? I mean, because I believe it, that's exactly what we're experiencing. Oh, man, is he? Does he have a podcast now? Is that? Is that the level we've gone to with Hollywood? Daniel Bowen has a podcast out of control. I blame you. And what Tommy are we talking about? Tommy Lee Jones, Tommy Cruz, Tommy Lee, come on. Come on. Man, hey. With that, I'd

like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the Christmas driver, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John C Debora, well, in the morning, you're Mr. MC curry. In the morning he all ships of sea, blues on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the Dames and nights out there in the morning to the trolls, we have 2068 2000 Wow, eight. It's a Sunday, which means we're above average. Am I right?

Hello, yeah. Normally it's 400 low. Oh, I thought Sunday was always like every show. This is like a Costello. There it is. Well, it's Christmas week. People are on vacation. I mean, a lot of people are traveling, and there's a lot of inclement weather, yes, and you know, we take our time out of the week to do the show. I mean, I slept

everything. We're over here, by the way, that low number is the reason, if you watch Fox or any of these networks, every one of the Met number the a list hosts, all the top guys, they're all on vacation. The B listers and the C listers are in there doing the shows because doubts that, because of that number is down 20% or so, 25% maybe about 20 more closer, and that's enough to click though I'm going on vacation

button. But we don't do that. No, we don't, because these, these 2000 people, even though it's not the 2400 we normally get, those 2000 people are valuable to us. They're C listers. We don't take them for granted. They're the C listers. No, we don't take you for they're not getting C list material from us. A list, a list premium content, that's right, no nonsense, no nonsense. That's right. And they are, of course, listening@trollroom.io

or on any of those modern podcasts. I've noticed, by the way, do not go to podcast app.com it's podcast apps.com there's some apps plural, plural. There's some wonky podcast app at podcast app.com which is a piece of crap. No, your podcast apps, apps, yes, that's where you can find that. Podcast app.com is no good. No podcast apps.com where there's over 70 apps and server. Says you can use for the modern podcast, which, of course, that's, that's a scandalous. It's very scandalous. Yeah, I

noticed that people, man, this thing sucks. Like, what are you talking about? Scandalous? I guess somebody has cloned my Twitter site and put it up on blue sky, yeah, yeah, with the same art and everything, and real Dvorak might my handle on blue sky is John C Dvorak, yeah, someone, it's a security risk, really, because they, what they did is they scammed comic strip blogger out of 333 bucks. It's horrible. He finally donated, and he got scammed. There's no good. It's no good. Blue Sky is

no good. This is security risk, honestly, anyway. So that's where you can get those modern podcast apps. And yes, we always bring you premium content. And again, thank you to strokey bill for bringing premium content in the last episode. It was very well done. That's a great example of time, talent and treasure. So we have the multiple ways. You can send the value back to the show. We give you the value is there. We just throw it at your feet, and you take it and take it and

run with it. And if you feel that you got value out of it, send something back to us again. Time, talent, treasure. And we want to thank Nick the rat who brought us the artwork for episode 1722, now, this was old artwork, right? This was, this is very old artwork, or, Yes, from, it's from about, I think, a 1919, not that old. No, it's from 2021, I think, yeah. And it was the fear like, three years old. Yes, it was the fear mask. And John went trolling around a no agenda Art Generator, calm, to

get a perfect piece of art. And he gave me three options. I thought this was the best, hands down. It was. It was so apropos for the episode. It was great. And we look forward to choosing a piece of art today, once again, from our no agenda artists at no agenda Art generator.com and we appreciate the work that these artists do. It truly is magnificent. Now we always like to thank everyone who donates

good stuff. It's very good everyone who donates over $50 and we have 5050, up to the Executive Associate Executive producers. We do name and amount only. Typically, this is a note that we feel is worth reading. We always read the notes from our executive and Associate Executive producers. By the way, I do want to thank Johnny. Oh, and he said, I could read this, says, decided on doing a recurring donation. We encourage this very much at no agenda donations.com I was paying to be

verified on x and thought, Why? Why I have 169 followers, and 150 are probably bots. No one gives two shits what I have to say. So why give Elon my 12 bucks a month? I'd rather give it to the best podcast in the universe. Thank you, Johnny. Oh, that's the spirit. That's exactly what we need. 12 bucks a month. Yeah, it's a lot. Appreciate that. So $200 and above, you get an Associate Executive producer

credit, which is a real credit. You can use it in Hollywood circles until they all are exposed on the Diddy tapes. Literally, yeah, and we'll read your note. And of course, you can use that credit on imdb.com, all kinds of funky places. You can also just put it on a business card and present it at the freak off. Hey, I'm an Associate Executive Producer. Let me in and $300 above you become an executive producer, and we read your note as well.

John, you're gonna have to read the first one because I'm on the laptop, and this note is so long it literally will not fit on my screen. And I'm sure you're going to truncate this one. It's a nice donation because it's an instant night from Singh detlefson, who lives in Henderson, Nevada, 1000 Yeah, hang on one second so I can blow it up. Yeah. It was impossible for me to get into it.

It was very, very this is from once you have the name of the person, yeah, yeah, it's a singy detlefson in Henderson, Nevada, $1,000 okay, I just doesn't have to double click on this, because this actually blows up my spreadsheet, but I can at least get started. I started listening he or she rice, I'm not sure. Uh, do you guys back in 2016 when a friend Teddy punched me in the mouth, please call him out as a douche bag. Douche bag. I can still vividly recall switching between listening to

no agenda and NPR. This is interesting on my commute to work at Amazon in Seattle, your immediate deconstruction opened my eyes to the lies Russia gate he has in parentheses of the national treasure, and I've never gone back. Well, good for you. In 2020 I left corporate life at Amazon after six years and went full time with my wife in our dietary supplement.

Business, wholesome story. Although I love my time in Amazon, I still remember my final drive leaving Amazon and screaming freedom in the style of Mel Gibson from the movie Braveheart. We didn't end up like him. No owning our own business. That has been the greatest blessing. I own my mind and my time. Wholesome story is a market leader in the in those you know I I know how to pronounce this. Innocent, is it? It's in i n, o s, I T, o, l, category, inositol, I think, which mainly

helps women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. PCOS, the world's leading cause of infertility, and it goes on about that Trump's election and the appointment of RFK Jr can hopefully remove the tape over our mouths and allow more women to find out natural options to support their bodies. Canada has no such limit, so long as you have clinical trials, and I hope

the US adopts a similar strategy. In addition to the woes of supplements, I'm actively advocating for change in how the US deals with foreign e commerce sellers. To put it bluntly, we're exporting our cash to China faster than you can imagine. Yes, I think we've discussed that. I recently wrote an article titled e commerce wars

and how the US is losing. You can find it somewhere on medium, uh, medium.com at shingle or Shing Shing high slash, e commerce wars and, okay, well, that, well, he has a pitch further down to purchase supplements from their website with this instant night donation, please night me, Sir Shanghai is s h i and Xinghai, protector of the Moonies, a story for another time, and adds some coffee ice cream to the round table, which is quite tasty, by the way. Yes, karma

for the US and the world further. If anyone wants to purchase supplements from our website, www, whole some story.com. Wholesome story.com. Use the code. ITM 15 and say 15% thank you all for you do. And Merry Christmas. Yes. And he did in the beginning, ask for a deducing. You've been deduced. Thank you. Shanghai coffee ice cream has been ordered. We go on to, oh, no, agenda shop. Hey, no. Agenda shop. It's been a while. Yeah, we got to get them more

business. Yeah, although they do come in with a cool $851.74 and this is basically a donation from it's a cut. It's undetermined. We have no formal agreement with them. They always make sure the artists whose artwork is used get paid when people buy from no agenda shop except no no imitate imitators. There's like no agenda gear and other things. No agenda shop.com. That's the only one that we

sanction. No agenda. Shop.com, they're in Gitmo, nation, Georgia, and they say sorry for the delay in our most recent contribution. The new human resource in my life has pushed me overboard, but I am slowly regaining control of the ship. Luckily, you are still here to cure me of the mainstream media malaise. No jingles, no karma. And Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. And congratulations on the new human

resource. That's nice, sir Tyler, in Anchorage Alaska, 34375, which I believe is 333. 33 plus the added seas, gentlemen, please keep up the great work. You too are proof that one.

McKeon, I think m, c, k, e, O, W, and Salt Lake City, Utah. 343 Wait, wait, oh, I'm sorry. Okay, yeah. 343 Yep. Yep, yep. Do we have a keep dog and do we have a pay attention

to me? Well, you're, you're Tourette's thing on me. 343, 75 is probably 333. 33 plus the fees dude, AKA a joint newish to no agenda, first time donating. Well, let's you've been deduced unlimited value in the show, but not my Fiat tickets. Yee haw, 400 more years. Okay? David, thank you very much, sir. Tyler, second donation, he said he donated Sunday and Monday. 343, 75, and the previous note applies. Okay, Sir

Dear John Adam, having reached the contribution level for Duke, I'm submitting my application for title change from Earl to Duke. Approved. Let me henceforth be known as Sir Rick, Duke of Washington, minus

Seattle and the rest of those crazies in King County. Having reached this status, I realized that I've married way below my station to a mere dame, therefore future donations will be shifted from Sir Rick to Dame Becky in the interest of marital bliss. John is always complaining about my detailed accounting, so I've managed to fit it into one page on the reverse side of dismissive all the best. Keep up the good work. No jingles, no karma, sir. Rick PS, Dane Becky and I have only

ever had one fight. It started July of 1987 and I'll let you know when it's over. Folder, great hair. Love you. Mean it. No homo, wow. Thank you very much, brother. Good deal. Let's see this sounds about right? Yep, we're gonna have trouble reviews. He's gonna come in as Sir Rick. These are bank checks. Usually they're 6996 month after month, which adds up.

During our flight from Amsterdam to Florence, you were both so delightful to chat with. As I said, I'm fairly new to the show. A friend got me into it just over a year ago, but I haven't missed it one since. He

hasn't donated yet. So I'm sure the public, this public call out will motivate him to get his own D douching douche bag and traveling. So I haven't listened to the Thursday show yet, but I can't wait to remind to be reminded of all the BS we were fed over the past almost five years of COVID Nonsense. Thank you both for your courage and for keeping us from getting spun up as we have all the psyops thrown at us. Yes, there's a lot of them.

All right, mom, when I first, when I first told her about the show, she said, Adam Curry from MTV, we had the same hair in the 80s. Regardless of the hair, this show continues to make a great impact and a great conversation starter. All that said, Can I get a fun request? Because the website is as old as all get out

and the jingle has not been played in a few episodes. Can I get a dvorak.org/na jingle? Also John, we can save that site if you figure out the password.

Hilarious show 1720, was just what I needed to take me further along my way to knighthood, not only was it funny, but it confirmed my intuition. I live in Spain, a country that never recovered after the shock of inflation the Euro brought with it. If it wasn't for the local black market and the censure and

the country's economy would come to a halt. Spain is basically a banana republic in disguise. But life is good once you get used to it. Also you are correct about nationalism being the antidote, antidote to globalism. If I understood you correctly, Western Europe is being propagandized by corrupt globalists to the point where liberal nationalism is frowned upon as being right extremism. This is especially true in Norway, where I come from, no jingles, no karma, greetings

from the Norwegian night. To be I would find that peculiar in Norway, which is the most independent, not in the EU I know it's interesting, but he lives in Spain, so, yeah. Well, talking about short notes, this is Ivan Babic in a story in New York. 263, 22 uh, no note at all, which gives him a double up. Karma Sure does.

writes, it's easy to forget the madness that occurred. This show helped keep many of us saying during the time of being dis ostracized for not buying into the propaganda that's true, people got ostracized. They did you can get you shot, let alone those who refuse safe and effective treatment while under duress. I hope we as Americans never surrender our freedom of screw your freedoms, your freedoms of speech, movement and

Since you mentioned patent attorneys in the podcast the other day, here's the plug. Hey, I caught that bit on the last no agenda show where Adam was mingling with patent attorneys. If there's any no agenda nation listeners out there who are patent attorneys, I would love to help you with

your patent drawing needs. With over 15 years of experience, I'm here to make your life easier with top notch patent illustrations that meet us, PTO standards, whether utility or design patents, head over to Pat patent illustration studios.com for some samples of my work.

Karma. Couple. More Associate Executive producers for this episode, Curtis Thomas Republic, Missouri, 200 Dear John and

Adam. I love you guys and the work you do. I just heard John's second half of show clip about the Elohim and I had to write in I know it sounds outlandish, but in my opinion, it's actually a very important idea for all no agenda producers to familiarize themselves with. If you Google Dr Michael Heiser Deuteronomy, 32 world view, you will find very sound information on this topic. My prediction is that these sorts of ideas will

actually become mainstream in the coming months and years. God bless Curtis Thomas, I'm actually sorry I did that, sir. Ron neurin in voyton via invite and violin. Floatin. Floatin, L Yeah. Fluten. Floatin, floatin, Netherlands, 200 bucks, Dear John and Adam, wishing you both a merry Christmas. Let's go for four more years, please. Some F 35 karma. Wow.

And our final Associate Executive Producer did not send a note, as far I can tell, William Johnson from Hanover, New Hampshire, $200 and so he gets a double up karma. Thank you very much. You've got karma. And that concludes our executive and Associate Executive producers for episode 1723, of course, it also includes people who support us for 1722 we thank you very much. And again, we want to recognize stroke you, Bill Walsh for Bill Walsh for executive producing that episode 1722 for us as

Of course, executive and Associate Executive Producers are also always appreciated, and the titles we give you are for real. Our formula is this, we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Didn't want to mention because it happened, of course, in fact, I was lamenting to how man, I wish we had a show we were has so much fun laughing about Clarissa, Ward free, freeing a notorious Assad regime torturer with her phone, with her phony baloney, prison cell break thing. What? What a farce. She will always now be known as the one, the CNN journalist who freed the torturer forever. It's a black mark on her resume, who has like Geraldo in the L zone vault the empty basically

the same thing. Yes, CNN, by the way, this is the second hotel we've been in, no longer at the airport hotel in Amsterdam and not in this hotel in Italy, either. CNN and CNN International, nothing. They're not on the on the system. I found that very peculiar, bad management, bad Hotel Management, or bad CNN management, no, but CNN, they should be, you know, they shouldn't allow this. They

should have, they had. They dominating spaces, all of them, and all the they did, yeah, the airports and they were all over. There were Europe. You can't, couldn't turn on TV without getting CNN International. So here's just a little fun thing. We haven't been following it very closely, but Justin Trudeau is under some real pressure. He's got people from his cabinet resigning. It's kind of unclear why.

I mean, do you have any any clue as to what's going on. I got nothing, no, well, I do have two people speaking to Sir Trudeau saying how much they hate him. And apparently that's just out there. You sold us out to globalism. Okay? You are not working for Canada. You are working for your globalist partners. I wonder how much they're paying you to betray Canada. What do we do with traders in Canada? Mr. Trudeau, we used to hang them, hang them for treason, and you're doing

that very same thing to us now. King Trudeau, what gives you the right to continue? What gives you the right to stay in office? You failed Canada. You've ruined our country. You're done. Walk away. You don't have an ounce of your father's integrity, at least. We walked in the snow. You've ruined this country. Everyone around you is running from you. They're abandoning you. Christian Freeland, Sean Fraser, they've all left you. It's time for you to go. It's

time for Canada to have an election. You're not the king. You're not the king. There's a lot of talk about him resigning. Yes, I wish we I don't know what I wish a Canadian would give us a briefing on why this swapped out so quickly. I think could have been, this should have been going on during a trucker strike. I don't get him. They're just mad now, now, now they're mad. Now they're mad. I don't know, odd, very odd, Syrian news, because Syria is a problem. Yeah, yeah.

That after blinking, everyone went to Damascus. Apparently, the US had a ten million bounty on this guy's head and like, Oh no, it's okay. We're dropping that now. You're good, yeah, they dropped a bounty because you're not in charge. You're good, yeah. They must have done some sort of backdoor deal.

Something happened. Yes, but let's play the edition from the BBC again, Helena, Syria's new rulers have begun appointing key ministers two weeks after the fall of Bashar Al Assad, the European Union, the UK, France and the United States have all sent delegations to the Syrian capital Damascus, with the US scrapping a ten million award for the arrest of Syria's de facto leader, Ahmed al shara, well, as the regime change continues to take shape, I've been speaking with the director

of the Syria conflict research program at the London School of Economics, Dr rim. Took money. Thank you so much for being with us once again here on BBC News. Very good to see you before we delve deeper into that question of the transition now in Syria, I'd just like to begin by talking about how people in the country are currently faring. Can you give us an idea when it comes to their humanitarian needs, infrastructure and so on? How are people doing the daily lives of ordinary Syrians right

now, very significantly, depending on the region. So in areas, many of the areas that were previously under regime control, like Homs, Hamad, Damascus, there is a sense of relief to you know that the Syrian regime is gone. However, in the coastal areas and part of the countryside, fear persist about the future, what my told and potential retribution. In the northeast, which is under SDF control. There is also tension, you know, fears about potential clashes with Turkey

backed forces. But despite of the regional differences, the one common thread that unites most Syrians is really the daily struggle to survive. If you look just before the fall of the Assad regime or. Already we had about 17 million people required humanitarian aid. 90% of the Syrians were in poverty, and around 13 millions were food insecure. I don't believe a word of this, you know, and the more you and I talk about it, the more people get mad at me.

You have no idea what he did. You have no idea how bad he was. Well, the International is an exercise, and we have to hearken back to the earlier days when, uh, there he was being visited by all the Hollywood celebrities, and everything was getting so go to I went to Flickr, yeah, which is still there, and they still have all the and looked up Damascus, Syria. I looked up different to see photos that people tourists, King of the areas, and I don't see 90% you look around, they

these guys are going all over the place. Flicker is really a good resource for looking at pictures that normal people go, you know, snapshots. And there's just these pictures. I don't see any evidence of 90% they're big markets. I don't see any evidence of 90% food insecurity. I don't see any of that stuff that what this guy just said, I don't understand. Maybe it's all in homes, and we just weren't getting that information. You got pictures of homes,

homes. There was pretty much all over the country, pictures, and you don't see anything that implies what this guy just said. It just, well, I heard this seems like a pack of lies, and the fact that this guy that was had a ten million bounty, which is not trivial, no, on his I mean, they only had $50,000 for the for the healthcare shooter, yeah, uh, ten million on his head. And now all of a sudden, I was fine and dandy. This is, this is an OP.

There's step two. And these numbers have deteriorated after the fall because of, you know, many infrastructure have collapsed. There's still a struggle for daily services. People are getting hardly an hour of electricity, especially in areas that were under resolution control, there's a price hike as well. So the sudden change in the regime also meant to change in the economy. The regime had a subsidy over basic commodities like bread fuel, and now this has been

lifted. So suddenly, the price of bread went up 10 folds overnight. The cost of commuting went up four folds overnight. So ordinary people are really, really struggling to survive, despite that sense of relief and joy that finally the regime is gone, we have seen a number of international delegations visiting Syria this week, including representatives from here in the United States.

Have we learned anything new about the discussions about any kind of, perhaps provisional agreements, or at least how those governments will interact with each other after those visits? We don't know much about the meeting with the head of HDS, but we know that on the table there were, there were issues like lifting the prescription of HTS as a terrorist organization, also lifting the sanctions and providing international assistance for reconstructions. Kind of didn't learn much from that?

Yeah, there's international assistance for construction. That's kind of like, okay, oil, gas, the gas pipeline, guitar pipeline, something like that. Maybe the whole thing is sketchy. Well, then I'm surprised anyone gets mad at us for this analysis. It's been sketchy forever. You have to know that he had hundreds of 1000s of prisoners, and he was incinerating them in underground ovens. Yeah, this is what I'm being told. But we never heard this before. Ever. I don't know why.

Okay, this is it was kind of interesting for reasons that I don't think everyone really realized. Igor curry love, the guy who was killed the Russian Well, yeah, this is interesting. Exactly. This is a good, good,

yeah. Let's have a couple of clips here. That's a little backgrounder here, turning now to some breaking news out of Russia, where the bloodshed from the Ukraine war has now reached the front door of the Kremlin take a look at this video, which appears to show the assassination of Lieutenant General Igor karoloff, the head of Russia's chemical, radiological and biological. Weapons unit happening just miles from the Kremlin Ukraine security service claims responsibility for the killing.

The explosive device was planted in a scooter next to the entrance of a Moscow apartment building in the blast killing both kerolov and his assistant, NBC kirsimens has the details here, even the timing is dramatic. Just yesterday, Ukraine charged Lieutenant General curry love with war crimes. Today, they say they have killed him in Moscow, Russian media reporting a bomb was taped to the handle of a scooter. Yeah, it was quite

dramatic. And of course, we had video, but I think this report also has a nap pop this morning in Moscow, a dramatic explosion killing a key Russian general and his assistant. The blast so powerful it blew the bricks from the walls and the remains of a scooter it was loaded with explosives. Ukraine says an operation both audacious and precise, the bomb detonating as he moved between a building and a car and Ukraine's most ambitious assassination deep inside Russia since the war began.

Lieutenant General Igor Coronavirus was chief of the Russian army's chemical weapons Division. He was sanctioned by the UK in October for the alleged use of chemical weapons in Ukraine, according to a Ukrainian security source briefed on the matter, COVID love was an absolutely legitimate target, since he gave orders to use prohibited chemical weapons against the Ukrainian military, such an

inglorious end awaits all who killed Ukrainians. The Source asking for anonymity because they aren't authorized to discuss it publicly. Russian state television leading with news of the killing, saying the bomb was remotely operated. Comes as the war started after Russia invaded. Ukraine enters its third year, both sides still taking massive losses already.

Russian investigators are calling the bombing an act of terrorism, but they will be under pressure to explain another high profile assassination in the Russian capital. So this is all kind of standard reporting. I don't for a minute buy that somehow Ukraine is able to kill this guy in Moscow. But this next clip leads me into some interesting things this guy has been saying that might explain this

assassination. Curry love was just charged on Monday by Ukraine for using banned chemical weapons during Russia's invasion. We know he was a big player in Russia's propaganda apparatus, constantly spreading lies about Ukraine and America. He once claimed the US, in fact, was planning to use drones designed to spread infected mosquitoes, and as the head of the biological weapons unit, he was accused of using a riot control gas against Ukrainian troops that caused extreme

irritation and pain in the eyes and lungs. Just bigger picture here. What does this mean for the Russian the Russian war effort and Kremlin's overall goals? Do you think? Well, I think they're going to focus their attention on the

battlefield. They are making progress like I suggested. By the way, general curry office also accused of using not just riot control agents CS and cn, but also nitro chloroform, which was used in the First World War and is banned by the chemical weapons treaty to which Russia is a signatory. Okay, so, oh, tear gas. Oh, my goodness, how horrible. Oh, tear gas. They use CS gas, I might add, during the riots at Berkeley in this in the late 60s, beyond the students, we use

that on our citizens here. What's the big deal? But it was some things. He said on Russia. You heard about the mosquitos from drones, that was interesting. And I have here some audio, which I will translate in real time of krill off on Russian television. So the reporter says the growth in illnesses caused by atypical infections has been noted in a number of countries right now. So can we say that this is the result of some help from American biologists? And he

answers, we can't say this so indiscriminately. We are public officials, after all, as for biological weapons, if we assess the damage caused by COVID over the course of two years and around the world. The reporter says the main pandemic lasted two years. He says it cannot even be compared with the damage from World War Two. It is dozens of times greater. However, those who make the profits, such as Big Pharma. She says, do you

mean all the pharmaceutical companies? And he says, yes, the profits of the pharma companies, which are mainly in the US, are colossal. That's the way it is. So that's the first clip. And then the second clip, the reporter says, so the question is, he says the question is being asked, we provide documents? Oh, the reaction of the USA that we are talking. About is typical. There has not been a single refutation of the

documents we presented. We sent more than 2000 pages of these documents to the United Nations. I presume he's talking about the documents that were found about Bio Labs in Ukraine. I think there were 11 of them. Yes, the reporter says, what sort of reply Did you receive curry love says, we usually get two replies, a standard one from the USA is all that is done is in the interest of the national security of the USA, and you have to trust us. Reporter says, Trust them blindly. He says,

Yes, trust them blindly. They have a policy of global biological control. They understood that this works, and that by creating artificial crises, which are biological in nature. They can rule the world. There's nothing they do for free, even when they provide supplies to certain states free of charge. They are not as free of charge as they say. So this guy was a problem. He was he and so, yeah, all those. Oh, yeah,

Ukraine did this. Sure, sure. Ukraine killed him. I don't believe it for a second. I don't either very unhandy to have this happening. This guy out there running around, shooting his mouth off, yeah, this was some high end pros that killed this guy. Yeah, the Oh yeah. That was well done. Well done. And he was, he was shooting his mouth off about the biological labs all around Ukraine, which was in the conversation when the war first broke out, disappeared from the from the discussion,

especially in the mainstream media. Nobody wants to talk about it or say anything about it. No, and it's this guy keep bringing it up and other things issues that I didn't hear about the mosquitos, but that sounds like something we dream up. Is some crackpot ideas. Sounds like it, yeah, um, I have a little bit of climate change stuff. If you want to switch, I actually have two clips too well. Why don't you give us some climate change clips? A minor, minor. So you'd

be probably best to start with these. This is about the key deer, which a little bitty deer. It's like a deer. It's like a white tailed deer. That's about 1/3 the size of a normal deer. Mm, hmm, by the way, I plague a deer in my yard. Hell no. They got the biggest ears these particular brands. Oh, the easy to shoot at. The old trick is you put a salt lick down somewhere, and then you just trap them, kill them, shoot them. Easy. Okay,

and it's all because of climate change. And there's a couple of statements in here that are just worth it. There's a type of white tail deer that's unique to the Florida Keys. It's been on the endangered species list for nearly 60 years, and only about 800 of them remain, and its habitat is under growing threat from rising sea levels. William Brangham has the latest in our series saving species.

These tiny deer roam freely across front yards and grays on the side of the road on some of the many islands of the lower Florida Keys. They are very gentle, very, very gentle, and the longer you live here, the more you want to protect them. The key deer is the smallest subspecies of the North American white tailed deer. They're about the size of a golden retriever, they only come to about 24 to 30 inches at shoulder height. So they are substantially smaller, and they're only found here in

the Florida Keys. The first written record of the key deer came from a 16th century Spanish shipwreck survivor. They curry live on only about two dozen of the keys, 1700 islands swimming or wading between them and living in the mangroves, pine Rocklands and freshwater wetlands. Climate change is the thing that's going to get them, but it's still very habitat that are under threat from rising sea levels. Chris berg is with the Nature Conservancy. This is a

success story. Until now, these animals have been doing very well. They've been coming back. Population is not only stable, but growing, but it's only a matter of time as the sea continues to rise, that their habitat availability is is the thing that undoes the key deer. Oh, oh boy. Climate, climate. So in the second clip, they're going to talk about rising sea levels, but the

National Ocean, wait, wait. So I just thought I'd interrupt it as we speak, and ask you, what is the what do you think the sea level rise are going to say? What do you think is going to be? Is going to be 17 centimeter like 12 centimeters of foot? What do you think? Uh, uh, won't take much to kill these poor deer.

Well, let's play the clip, and you'll find out. But the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that in 75 years time, sea levels around parts of the keys could rise anywhere from one and a half to. Seven feet, seven feet. Sure my seven feet. Oh, man. Well, the reality of climate change is here, and boy do we notice that in Italy, up in the mountain the they had completely redone the enduring COVID redid,

the entire little mini resort there. They had not had snow there for five years, five years, five years, no snow due to climate change. And this year there's snow due to climate change, a record breaking temperatures to devastating disasters. 2024 brought us closer to the reality of what climate change looks and feels like according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Atlantic basin experienced 18 named storms throughout the year.

Between January and November, the average US temperature was 57 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly three degrees above average, and the warmest ever for that period. During that same time, precipitation levels totaled more than 29 inches, which is roughly one and a half inches more than average. CBS News National Environmental correspondent David Schechter joins us now. David, 2023 was the hottest on record. How did

2024 fair? I feel like you're always bringing me in for the good news here, 2024 is set to be even hotter than 2023 mark for the first time ever that our average temperature on the planet will be warmer than 1.5 degrees above pre industrial numbers. 1.5 is this key number that came out of the Paris Climate Accord in 2015 that was were supposed to stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius. The issue here is that it's a combination of

average of years. So we haven't violated that climate accord yet, but we're certainly not heading in the right direction at all. That was that was new. That was new to me. It's not 1.5 per year. It's an average, how many years average of what to change. The movie is called moving the goal post. Yeah, we change the way the calculations done this, what we do with our economic data. Oh, speaking of such. We saw devastating heat

waves, hurricanes made worse by climate change. How many major events impacted the US, and how is a warming planet contributing? What we talk about billion dollar weather disasters. That's sort of the number that is a threshold for a huge disaster. Wait a minute, billion dollar disasters. So that's, that's just a made up number, which, by the way, a billion dollars was a million dollars of 50 years ago. So this, too was a movie moving target. They're just making up, making up as you go along. A

major disaster is a billion dollars. US experienced 24 of those weather disasters through and climate disasters from January to November of 2024 of this year, and that is only second to the number of 28 that was last year. These $24 billion emergencies, or resulted in an estimated 418 deaths, $61

billion in damage. And to your point, these storms are not caused, these emergencies, not caused by climate change, but climate change is juicing the conditions and rolling, you know, sort of loading the dice to make it potentially worse. It's such a scam, juicing and loading the dice, yeah, all right, I just want to do, we gotta, we gotta get out of here. We have some people thank but I do have a real news story here. Let me see. This was an amazing real news story that I just I

loved it so much. Let me see. And now back to real news tonight, at 29 year old pleading not guilty to attempted murder and a few other charges after being accused of stabbing a DJ at a vegan strip club on Saturday. Come on. Come on, vegan strip club. Come on. Is Raven working there a vegan strip club? Here she comes. Oh, she's lost a lot of weight. Club. Do you have anything can you top? That is what I'm asking.

Sir Edward of tatton Hall, Baron of flyover country, wishing Adam and John and the entire global no agenda family, a very merry Christmas. This is Nick from Indy. I brought some bits of ball in I brought some hackle slack, and I'm ready to eat Maria's dogs. Merry Christmas. We wish you a merry Christmas. We. You Wish You a Merry Christmas. They never disappoint. Those in me should clip that little part

at the end there. For end of show. I wish I could do it right now, but I can do it on the next show. For end of show, hey, West Palm Beach threw axes and drank tequila in the morning. John Adam, this is Brian from the West Palm Beach. Acts throwing meet up where, surprisingly, everyone has their fingers and toes rebated. And in fact, I was flashed by the AX master in the morning. I'm an unexpected and unrealized act master thrower for every green guy in the

morning. This is 4h mama. They don't allow me around sharp objects. This is all what do you call when a group of knife throwing new agenda producers have a successful meetup in accident? Hey, this is Ronnie in the morning. It's Leslie in the morning. We drank and we threw things. This is the Reiki Princess, so excited and grateful for another amazing

Florida meetup. We threw axes and knives and even some shovels because one of our nights, flirted with our smoking hot, 25 year old AX master or AX mistress, who ended up flashing him and giving us all the special treatment. We also had some need. You never know what will happen at these meetups. It's like a party. Happy holidays. Everyone. All right, West Palm Beach. Thank you very much.

Now you're not going to tell me you don't have a single ISO. Are you? I'm going to tell you that I don't have a single ISO. How can you not have an ISO, knowing that I will not have time traveling to get ISOs. But then I want you to use one of the ones from the last show, which I put produced three good ones,

and they were all usable and you didn't use them. Let me see, oh, second I'm hearing Tina's. She's playing reels on Instagram. Uh, let me see I have Yeah, no, no, yeah, that one is that one of the ones we use that's a good one, yes. What was this? I think that thing is on the fritz. Didn't we use? We didn't use that one. That was yeah, no, you know, yeah, yeah, no, yeah, no, you know, yeah. We'll use, you know, you know, you know, yeah.

That's all good, because it is time now for John's Tip of the Day. Last, sometimes battle. All right, so before we do the tip of the day, I'm going to do a retrospective on another tip of the day. Okay? Because somebody sent me this very interesting note, which I think is somewhat scandalous. Oh no, a scandal. He says this is from producer Fred and he writes in I've been using the Libby app for several years now, and noticed something interesting.

The app tells you how many copies, digital copies of each book the library owns. I was frequently on long hold lines waiting to borrow a copy of audio books which I had that have been checked out, popular titles, especially classical literature, may have only have one or two copies available. Alternatively, autobiographies and other books by leaning leading political figures often have 200 or more copies on the quote, unquote, shelf with very, very few ever checked out.

Is it possible that our public libraries are subsidizing select people by funneling public funds through the over purchasing of excess digital copies of audio books nobody wants to read my local. Ray branch had over 100 digital copies of Stacey Abrams books, 500 copies of Michelle Obama's book, for example, only two to three ever checked out reach. This is a scam. Tell me about it. A scandalous scam, no less. So this is how that was quite

interesting. I think that's super interesting, yeah, because these guys get these huge advances. And so there's somebody's in on this. This is like a wink wig, null, okay, you can buy 500 copies of Michelle's book. Well, we're not gonna sell or even check out that many. Just, just, just do it. We'll get, make sure you get the government funding in. Wow, wow. This is a go. This is a scam. Sure. This is an outrageous scam. All right. Uh, Tip of the Day. Tip of the this is a spice that

people should all get a hold of. I noticed I did this. These spices. Are you bad as spice ones before, but this is even a more generalized product that you can use on everything. Now, I've always been a big fan of spice blenders because they can. They'll blend up stuff. They tell you, you know, these cooking shows, and show you how to do it yourself. 90% of the

time, they're not tested enough, and they're never perfect. I was one noticing this recently on a show where they were showing the America's Test Kitchen, and they were making up spices that were you could beat easily with Tony C, which is kind of a tip, okay, a dope Adobo from Goya and get the

big, giant thing of It, adobo seasoning. Adobo seasonings, a Mexican seasoning that that Goya big Trump supporter, by the way, Goya makes and the one you want is the either the plain one with nothing added to it, or the one con con pepper has got pepper in it. The those are the two. There's a if you go to the Goya website, the adobo page will show you all kinds of screwy ones I have never seen. I shop in giant mix, which is another thing I recommend shopping in giant

Mexican mercados. These are massive supermarkets that they're in all around the country. We have four or five in the Bay Area, and they have all these spices, and they have the Goya Adobo, but they don't have all these screwball ones that they have on the website. Don't get any of those. Get the plain adobo, and you put it on steaks, you put it on chicken, you can put it in your salad, you can put it anywhere. This stuff is

amazing. And here's the kicker, unlike a lot of these spice blends, there's absolutely not a trace of anything that relates to wheat. Thus, Mimi and other people that have actual wheat allergies can use this spice, and you can use as much as you want. I think that is a not just a great tip, it is a great tip for people with wheat issues. Exactly. Are you looking for good advice? Perhaps something practical, or something you really need

try the new agenda. Tip of the day, professional quality tips from the best podcast in the universe, created by Dana burnetti. Everybody, that's right. And that concludes our broadcasts, partially from the home of Michelangelo. No, I'm not Michelangelo da Vinci. Yeah, Da Vinci's hometown. That's what I meant to say.

And let me see, we've got end of show mixes coming up here from Jeff Crocker, who's been doing a bang up job, and Sir Joe ho who I'm not sure if he sang this or if he got this one from some some suno AI outfit, but it's pretty good. I must say, I like the lyrics, and it's fun to listen to. It's a toe Tapper and coming up next on the no agenda stream, troll room.io, and, of course, your modern podcast apps. We've got grumpy old Benz with a Christmas miracle. Ah, who doesn't love

it? Coming to you from Florence in Italy. And of course, I will be here, and I'll be in Amsterdam for the next show before we head home in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam Curry, yeah, from Northern Silicon Valley, where it's drying out. I'm John C Dvorak. Remember us at no agenda donations.com We'll see you on Thursday. Until then, adios mo Fauci and such. Upon review of available imagery, it appears that many of the reported settings are actually manned aircraft that are being operated.

This is over my house right now. You.

And equipment, there are no recorded or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace we certainly take seriously for threat that can be both behind our systems the reported sightings there do, however, highlight a gap in authority, and so we urge Congress to pass important legislation that will extend and expand existing counterbalance so that we are better prepared to identify and mitigate any potential threats to airports or other critical infrastructure,

and so that state and local authority provided all the tools that they need to respond to such threats. As well in Silicon Valley, where the tech rows play, John's decking the halls in a digital way. Mimi's got the lights they're blinking and sync with algorithms buzzing, no time to blink. Down in Texas, it's a whole different scene. Tina's roasting brisket, where the air is clean. Adam's got the tune spinning vinyl so loud, Fredericksburg rocking, the drawing a crowd. It's a no

agenda Christmas. Crank it up tonight. From region nine to region six, we're feeling all right. The pod father and the buzz killer, bringing the cheer with a rock and no agenda to close out the air John's got his wine of vintage so fine, riffing on the news conspiracies align Adam's in the groove with a jingle or two calling out the Grifters. Yeah, you know who the jingles are blaring. The trolls hit the floor. Get more nations rocking

like never before. We toast the producers, the nights and the days. No agendas. The podcast breaking all the chains. No agenda. Christmas cranking up tonight from region nine to region six, we're feeling alright upon father and the bus killer, bring in the chair with a Rock and no agenda to close out the air. See podcast.org/n, a, yeah, no, no, yeah, I.
