1810 - "golfball"

Why would I want to use my app? I'm standing right here. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, October 23rd, 2025. This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1810. This is no agenda. Betting on sports ball and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. Good morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where whatever happened to Putin, I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh, wait a minute.

Isn't he dying of Parkinson's disease? Putin? I thought it was a goner, man. Remember, he looked bad. You've been saying that years ago. Yes, well, that's what I'm still waiting for. I'm still waiting for it. It's bullcrap. I'm waiting for it. Of course it's bullcrap. You guys build like a bear. So... Where's the meeting? Did you see the breaking news this morning? Breaking news! Breaking news! The quad screen had it all. Even the BBC, breaking news.

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here. Breaking! All right, some breaking news is catching everybody by surprise. The FBI arresting NBA player Terry Rozier early this morning in connection with a widespread sports betting investigation. And he's not the only one. This is huge news. Nate Foley joins us live from Brooklyn with the latest. More breaking! Hey, guys, good morning. Yeah, breaking news that is sure to rock the sports world.

You mentioned Terry Rozier, and he's not the only one. Chauncey Billups, the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers and a multi-time all-star, a finals MVP back in his playing days, also arrested this morning as part of an FBI investigation into illegal sports gambling. Now, Rozier, he was arrested in Orlando this morning, and he was there because the Miami Heat played the Orlando Magic last night. Rozier was active for that game, but he did not play as part of a coach's decision.

Now, this all comes after The Wall Street Journal reported back in January that Rozier was under federal investigation related to a 2023 game back when he played for the Charlotte Hornets, where there was a surge of suspicious gambling activity related to the under on his performance with points, rebounds and assist in a game where Rozier ended up leaving after about 10 minutes with an ankle injury.

So The Wall Street Journal report detailed it so that it appeared that perhaps Rozier was accused of changing his performance in the game in order for other people to make money on his bets or on their bets. Yeah, there it is. Your art is fake. Your music is fake. Your sports ball is fake. The world is fake and phony. Welcome, everybody, to the show. We talked about this before, which is the prop bets. Yes, that was a prop bet on his underperformance. Well, wow. OK, that's easy to do.

Oh, I don't feel good. I think I'll walk off the field, walk off the court. I hurt myself. Yeah, this is fantastic. It's all fake. But did these two guys come on? This has got to be a rampant problem. Oh, no, no, no. That was just the breaking news. I mean, the FBI says it's tied to the mob. It's ongoing. The coverage is wall to wall. It's breaking. It's breaking my screen. It's so it's so bright. And it's so important. Well, no, of course not. But it's still funny. No, what's important?

Oh, no. What's important is Bad Bunny. This is a long pause there for a reason. Yes, because you're like, what is Bad Bunny? We know about Bad Bunny. You're the last on the block. This is old news you're going to start to discuss. It just it pops up again. They do this and they do Bad Bunny. If it's old news, I guess I don't have to play any clips because everybody knows that already. Everybody knows. Oh, yeah.

Bad Bunny thing. The Bad Bunny thing began when they announced it, which was weeks ago. Yeah, but now they announce an alternative halftime show. Did you know that's called go into the kitchen and make some food? No, it's the I think it's called the all American, all American halftime show. Which will be put on a different channel. Now it's going to be on the Internet, baby. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. There's nothing more convenient than putting the Internet on your TV. But what do you mean?

On your big screen TV, are you watching the Super Bowl? YouTube is easy. People put YouTube on. It'll be it'll be streaming on YouTube. I think that's pretty easy. You don't think so? I mean, I can do it. I have the equipment to do it. But I'm I'm watching the Super Bowl. I did probably if I'm a typical viewer of the Super Bowl, I like to see the ads. And no one nobody watches the Super Bowl for ads anymore. No, I don't watch it now, please. They still do.

One iconic ad from the Super Bowl from the past five Super Bowls. The 1984 past. Exactly. There it is. Iconic from 1984 was great. I think the Burger King. Where's the beef? That was probably one. No, that wasn't a Super Bowl. That was all played everywhere. And how about was we had that one? That was not a Super Bowl. OK, so you're proving my point. You cannot name the Super Bowl. I would be the herding cats, I think, would be the one would be pure. What was the brand? What was the brand?

A cat herding company. Yeah, OK. And by the way, you don't there's nothing is assured. You don't know if you'll be in it. You don't know if there's going to be an Internet. An error message popping up on Snapchat. The messaging was predominantly by teens, just one of the many apps affected after a global outage hit the cloud services of Amazon, according to a website which monitors problems on the Internet.

The outage has impacted companies hitting platforms, links to McDonald's texting service signal and Disney Plus. I love it. Oh, no. Just listen to all the crap that didn't work. Everything is completely non-essential. Nothing that went down was important really in your life at all. Amazon's cloud is used by international companies and governments as well. In the United Kingdom, the country's tax authority was facing disruptions.

Amazon Web Services provides on demand cloud computing, data storage and other offerings as well. AWS competes with Google and the Microsoft Cloud. Monday's outage is the first major Internet disruption to hit on a global scale after last year's crowd strike malfunctioned, impacting operations in banks, hospitals and airports. According to analysts, it demonstrates just how dependent the vast majority of global companies and governments have become on a handful of American tech firms.

An initial investigation from Amazon suggests the problem stemmed from a critical infrastructure zone in Virginia. Yeah. Now, why don't you just say what it really was? DNS. They don't even, they can't say what it really was because they don't know how to pronounce DNS. It's like a phone book that helps you find the computers on the Internet. It was a glitch. I will note that the No Agenda show, downloads did not suffer from any glitch.

The No Agenda stream, the troll room, everything kept on rolling because we decentralize. Decentralize or die, people. Everyone can decentralize. Yeah, but they don't. Why? Is it that much cheaper? Oh, no. In fact, I think it's more expensive. I think it's just... Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. It's more expensive and less secure. Well, not a good idea. No, it's... But that's what they're doing. I don't know if you'd say less secure, but not a good idea. I'm all in on that.

Yeah, of course it's not a good idea. Of course not. But also notice, they say the Internet went down. No, a bunch of dumb apps in your McDonald's. The McDonald's app, where every single time I go to the drive-thru, which is not often. Don't mind me walking my McDonald's in the mobile app. It took me at least five drive-thrus to understand what they were talking about. I go through the McDonald's window about... Once a quarter. No, no, that's for actually eating.

But once in a while, I just go through to harass them. No, I get an ice cream cone once in a while when it's hot out here. Without ice cream. Just give me a cone. And so every time I hit that thing right at the beginning, I say, would you like to use your app? Why would I want to use my app? I'm standing right here. I'm right here. I'm a person and I'm here. What do I need to go on the phone for? I love that question. It just makes no sense to me. Come on, I'm not using the mobile app.

They must use the mobile app because some guys there can barely speak English down in Texas. That's why they're like, please say yes. I'm using the mobile app because you can't understand me and I can't understand you, gringo. It's the most insulting thing. Yeah, I actually agree with you. What is the benefit of the mobile app if you're in the drive-thru? You're standing there. It makes no sense, but they still ask. They're trying to train every... This is bullcrap.

What they're trying to do, obviously, is to train you to use your phone for everything so they can eliminate the drive-thru window and you pop on your phone on your way over there and then you just go and pick up your order from a robot. They want to get rid of people. Yes, well, they've already... Most McDonald's restaurants, you know, they're restaurants, by the way. Oh, yes, I always think of... When I think of dining, I think of McDonald's.

Because, oh, I know a lot of the owner-operators and they say, well, we have eight restaurants in the Austin area. I'm like, what? Don't you operate McDonald's? Yes, that's our restaurants. They've been trying to get rid of people and they have successfully gotten rid of a lot of employees. When you walk in, there's big touchscreens. Then you just... You place your order on the touchscreen so that you don't have to bother a human being trying to figure out what you want at the cash register.

And they actually say that it's good because then they can put more college grads to work in the kitchen to improve your drive -through and your mobile app experience. What? Why is it better to have a college kid flipping burgers? Well, so the college kid can pay for his tuition, you know, the way it used to be. That's what... You know, college kids in the burger... Flipping burgers is not what I want. You're going to think it's beneath them. We don't even want the food.

And they're going to spit in the food. I heard about you can spit in the food. Oh, yeah. That's not true. They're not spitting it. Maybe if they... Hey, there's that... The college kids are. There's that Dvorak guy asking for an ice cream cone. Spit on it. Nice. So there was another glitch, a very important glitch, so important that CBS did a whole segment on it. What a glitch. The Instagram glitch that was really, really bad. The cyber world has some pretty rough neighborhoods. The cyber world.

This is like 1995 reporting. The cyber world has some pretty rough neighborhoods. I don't know why John Dickerson took that job to sit next to that other doofus. Well, CBS is the worst. How about this? For the money? Oh, yeah. I'm sure he has more money than he used to. The cyber world has some pretty rough neighborhoods. Earlier this year, a glitch spread graphic violent videos to unsuspecting Instagram users.

Instagram's owner says it has fixed the problem and now has filters to protect younger users. But a CBS News data dive finds violent... Ooh! Ooh! Data dive? A CBS News data dive. Whoa! It's the data dive. I think I should try that, a data dive. But a CBS News data dive finds violent content is still pervasive on Instagram reels. Usher Gracie has tonight's Ion America. And we caution you, some of the subject matter is disturbing. Yeah, we want to get in on that action.

We want to get in on that disturbing actions. It's working for Instagram. So what was the glitch? Jack Hughes says the gory videos that popped up on his Instagram feed in February were unlike anything he'd seen before. Wait, hold on a second. Hey, why are you playing us old news? This is not old news. He said February. Well, yeah, it's a new report. I mean... Are you telling... Wait a minute.

Are you telling me that CBS is reporting on something that happened in February and this news report just came out like yesterday? Is that what you're saying? I think it might have come out today. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. February? Well, how... That's, what, six months ago? How about this? Hey, um... Hold on. Hey, guys, listen, we got a... We have an internet outage. We need some more stories. We want to do some human interest stuff. Do we have anything from a couple of months ago?

Anything? We got anything, guys? Yeah, boss, I got a glitch on Instagram. Yeah, perfect. Bring it over here. How about that? They're stretching. They got tired. Stretching is the word. You got the right word for it. Let's listen to the report. Because there's an exit strategy in here for us. Jack Hughes says the gory videos that popped up on his Instagram feed in February were unlike anything he'd seen before. It's worse than anyone can imagine.

It's like I saw somebody getting their head squished like a watermelon. Though the 19-year-old from Wisconsin understands algorithms drive his feed, he says the violent videos appeared without warning. Did you wonder why this stuff was populating your feed? I had no idea. It turns out that day in February, according... I was expecting naked chicks with guns. ...to Meta, Instagram's parent company, its algorithm malfunctioned, pushing graphic and violent content to users worldwide.

A CBS News investigation found violent and graphic content depicting injury or death, known as gore, remains widespread on Instagram reels. Between February and April, we identified more than 600... It's known as gore. Didn't you know that? So why weren't they reporting this in February when it happened? I think... So we could try to track it down and maybe even talk about it. Why did they wait this long to report this story?

That's the question, besides the fact that your theory, which is that we need more material because of the downage, outage. Well, I'm sure they had the story. It was good to go. My story got killed because of something Trump did. In February. So yeah, of course, that's exactly what happened. I just like that they... It's known as gore. Were you aware that heads being squished like watermelons is as categorized as gore? That's like Chad GPT calling porn erotica.

Well, they've tried to suppress using the term gore because it refers also to Al Gore in climate science. And so you don't... You're referring to gore. I don't know. I'm surprised that CBS even threw that in. A CBS News investigation found violent and graphic content depicting injury or death known as gore remains widespread on Instagram reels. Between February and April, we identified more than 600 accounts posting real world violence. And that content isn't just shocking. It's profitable.

Now, this is the... Here's the exit strategy. This is what I had no idea was going on. We found Instagram hosts a thriving gray market where gambling sites, crypto apps, and porn agencies pay to slip ads in between the gore. Shootings. Duh. Really? Really? There's advertising going on in between the gore? Car crashes, stuff like that. Matthew Fuhrman is one of those profiting from gore videos. Profiting from gore.

A 22-year-old college student, he uses a dozen phones and hundreds of email accounts to share content with his 18 million followers across 80 Instagram accounts. This guy could also be doing automatic downloads of podcasts to juice up the numbers as far as I'm concerned. This is the outrage. Let's get a hold of this guy. This guy knows what he's doing. He does. Average month. How many views would some gory, violent content that you post get? Close to a billion. Across all my accounts.

A billion with a B? Sounds like Meta's doing a good job of filtering with a billion views. With those views, shares, and likes. Nobody noticed? I guess not. Fuhrman builds connections with other creators and makes money helping them gain followers. Ah, this is the follower for sale gambit. I like this guy already. Earning him up to $70,000 a month. He claims a higher purpose to his postings. Some of it's pretty disturbing to look at, don't you think?

Yeah, but it's to raise awareness so people know. Like, don't play with guns. So you think it's more educational than voyeuristic? Yeah. Yeah, it's educational. Don't you understand? I'm doing this... Don't play with guns. ...to educate the kids. Does Meta make money when this type of content gets engagement? A hundred percent. Ravi Iyer is a former Meta executive who oversaw content moderation.

I don't think Meta's responsible for every bad thing that happens on the internet or happens on their platform. People are going to do bad things. But they've created an environment where people are effectively getting paid to do bad things. We asked Meta repeatedly about their specific enforcement actions.

While they wouldn't answer questions about our findings, they provided a statement that read in part, It's our policy not to recommend violent content, restrict it from being monetized, and add warning labels. And for teens, we aim to hide graphic content entirely, even if it's shared by someone they follow. For millions of users, the question now isn't just what they see online, but what Meta lets them see. No, that's my question. I was just, I'm one of the millions.

What are you letting me see? What are you not letting me see? I want the gore algo. The al-gore rhythm. Al-gore. Rhythm. Al-gore rhythm. There you go. Al-gore rhythm. Al-gore rhythm. Yes. Yeah, I know. That's actually a pretty interesting report. Well, thank you. Well, for a couple of reasons. One, it was easy for me to jump in and moan and groan about the date in February. Which is like, what are you good guys at CBS doing? Is this the best you can do for news, quote unquote, news?

Is this the new Barry Weiss editorial ship? Is that what we're looking at here? Is Barry Weiss behind this? Oh, I got a great idea. Six months ago, guess what happened? From a garbage can. Get Barry Weiss on the phone for me. We need more of this. This is good. Good work. Is this the new Skydance content? Is that what that is, maybe? I don't think so. I don't think she's really thrown in yet. And, you know, David Ellison is not getting the credit he deserves for killing MTV.

You know about this, right? They turned off. No, I don't. Now you have to tell me. I don't know. He killed it, so it no longer exists. Well, MTV, of course, the channel MTV no longer exists, has not existed as a music video channel for a long time. Yeah, well, that's well known. Right, 16 and pregnant and that kind of stuff. Yeah, good stuff. But they had the good stuff. All right. They had five other music channels that you could find on pretty much every cable channel.

One was like the classic 80s. One was all rock. One was all hip hop. And once the acquisition was done, boom, those all get turned off. They looked at the numbers. Of course they did. We had a gathering here. We had a gathering yesterday here. A gathering about 16 people. For what purpose? Just to hang out. You know, we're just entertaining. We're just entertaining. We entertain. You know, we don't have any kids anymore. They don't call us. We don't know if they're alive. So we entertain.

We have a great house for entertaining. You have a party house. Yes, a baller party house. I have a button. I press the button and one wall goes all the way up and it's out to the screen forwards. Yeah, it's baller. Baller. Baller, spitting ball. Baller. And every single one of these Gen Xers, most of them are a couple of boomers, but most of them Gen Xers. Hey, man, this really sucks about MTV. Like, really? Yeah, I watch it all the time. Like, wow, you need a life. This is no good.

Were you really watching that? Yeah. Oh, have you heard of YouTube? You know, you can get video music channels. Yeah, but it made me feel good about the old days. So yeah, I understand. So it's gone. It's dead. And we even had a report, which this is the funny thing. We had a report that there was a dinner and some of the, probably some of the people who were here last night were at a dinner with David Ellison. And they were saying, hey, man, you should bring MTV back. Yeah, that's a good idea.

Instead, he, like, psyched. He just killed it all off. So an era is gone. An era is gone. It's over. I thought you still used her. Oh, I misunderstood. All right, since we're here. An era is gone. I thought it was already gone. What you told me is all news to me that they had these channels. No, a lot of people think, they think a lot of people watch them, but I don't think so. I'm with you. The numbers showed nothing. It was just cost. That's exactly right. That's what you.

If you're David Ellison, that's what you do. You're trying to get this thing. You just dropped a bundle of money. You got yourself leveraged. You got things. You got your crooked bookkeeper in there trying to fix things. You start. You got to do. You got to take action. You start stripping the assets. Exactly. He could have sold that, though. He could have sold that to someone else. I mean, the guy at the party. Since we're on technology news, this is the, I think the funniest.

There was a half hour interview with Jensen from NVIDIA. What's his name? Jensen Wong. Hong, you know him. What's the guy's name? Yeah, Jensen Wing. Yeah, he's sitting. So he's sitting in the CNBC studios. First of all, the believability of this kook with his leather jacket on. Put on a suit. Will you put on a sweater? Leather jacket. You're in the studio in the leather. I'm the hip guy. And so it's really dumb. Somebody's got to take him aside. Dude, Jensen, man, stop with the leather jacket.

Stop with the leather jacket. Put on a suit. It'll look good. Anything, a sweater. Get a Zelensky outfit. Anything but this. This is not happening. And so he's talking about the money being invested in AI, which is now at this point completely circular. Everybody's pushing the money to the next guy, and then it goes back to AI and then to NVIDIA. And NVIDIA puts it into the next company. It's a circle jerk of money. It's a circle jerk of money. But the truth comes out at the end.

It was hilarious. Our agreement basically entails us selling entire systems and infrastructure to them. We're the only company in the world today that really focuses on building the entire AI infrastructure from CPUs to GPUs to networking chips and switches of all kinds and all the software stacks that go along with that. And so we're quite a unique partner for them to be able to do this.

I guess the question becomes, it's great for you to sell it directly to them, but they don't have the money to buy it at this point. Is that why the deal was structured the way it is, where you'll get a stake in open AI over time? They don't have the money yet. And the way that it's going to happen, for every gigawatt of AI factories, you're probably going to need about $50 to $60 billion for the land-powered shell and all the computing and networking and everything that goes along with that.

And they're going to have to raise that money through, first of all, the revenues, which is growing exponentially, equity or debt. And they gave us the opportunity to invest alongside other investors when the time comes. And so it's not something we have to do, but it's something that they're giving us the opportunity to do and I would love to do. You know, one of the things that we did, we invested in open AI early on. My only regret is that we didn't invest more.

I mean, this is the most profitable, well, the most valuable startup company ever. This is the most profitable, I mean, valuable company ever. See, they're smoking their own dope. They really believe that it's profit somehow. No, he knew it wasn't profitable. That's why he changed his view. Yeah, but it was on his mind. Nvidia's profitable though, right? They're profitable. Oh, yeah, they make serious money. Yeah, yeah. And then they invest. This is some of the AI clips.

I got a, this is a clip, this doesn't bode well. You got some AI clips, oh, nice. I got some from the past show, which we can play, but this got nothing to do with what we're talking about. This does though, this is a problem. This is a problem. Yes, AI. Google is facing a lawsuit over its artificial intelligence products. Robbie Starbuck, a conservative filmmaker, says Google's AI has made fake allegations against him, falsely accusing him of crimes like sexual assault.

NTT's David Lam has more. Google is being sued by Robbie Starbuck, a conservative social media activist and filmmaker. He says that the tech giant has spread lies about him through its artificial intelligence products for almost two years. Starbuck made the announcement on X today.

At one point, Google's AI even stated that my name was in Jeffrey Epstein's flight logs, citing imaginary articles in the New York Post and also one from Mediaite that also says I was suspended by Daily Wire over sexual harassment allegations. He claims that Google's Bard, Gemini, and Gemma has been defaming him with fake criminal allegations, including sexual assault, child rape, abuse, fraud, stalking and drug charges. AI usually provides source links when asked for verification.

But even then, Starbuck said the AI routinely cited fake sources. According to Starbuck, Google's AI says that he was targeted because of his political views. Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said most of the claims were related to mistaken hallucinations from Google's Bard large language model, and the company worked to address it in 2023. NTD reached out to Google for further comments, but did not hear back by deadline. Starbuck is asking for at least $15 million in damages.

Down to 25. I'm with you on that. Someone negotiated against themselves on that deal. I don't know what he's thinking, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes. Yes, it's a brave new world. I'm glad we know Rob Carty, the constitutional lawyer. Because, you know, we're going to call on him one of these days. It's going to be some schlub doing something with us. We're going to sue the pants off of him, John. As long as the schlub has money. Google has money.

All these companies with their billions of dollars in their circle jerking around. They got tons of money because, hey, well, you just spent 50 billion dollars on this. You got money. Definitely have a lot of money. Made it off my back. So, yes, this is this. I don't think it's going to be the slop as much as this hallucination of liability. That's going to be the the issue here. Yeah, it'll bring it down. This whole thing's a house of cards. I like it. Unlike you, you hate it. I don't.

I like it. But I see the house of cards part. It's just it's going to blow up the whole market with it. But I don't hate it. I mean, I've even succumbed to end of show mixes being all A.I. now. Yeah. You used the word you just used right there indicates your your actual attitude. What do you use the word succumbed? Well, OK, that means you were beaten into submission. Well, you succumb. There's a injury.

Well, no, there's a reason for this, because I think that there is that no agenda records and publishing because you've got to have the publishing. I think we have a shot. I think we have a real shot right now. And this comes to us thanks to one of our producers, Bill Walsh, who is ordinarily a huge pain in my butt. This guy, he's the he's the guy that kept telling me I was an idiot for invest. Don't invest in Bitcoin. Get XRP. Ripple is the future. The XRP guy, XRP guy. Oh, yeah.

I've heard from you, too. Yes. So he said, you know, I heard you guys talking about A.I. music and how what you really need is a personality to front the music. And I said, you know, yeah, we could we should have our own Milli Vanilli. And he came up with a genius idea. I have to hand it to him. If you go to Ashland speed dot com dot cloud, I'm sorry, a s h l y and speed dot cloud. He has devised an entire EP of four songs that Ashland Speed can lip sync. And, you know, and she's perfect.

She's a race car driver. She's from Texas. You know, she looks good. She could have a dual career and we could be the publishers. Listen to this. This thing in a race. Yeah, listen to this little country twang. And she puts some no agenda in there. It's all good. I'm a small town girl used to chasing. This is fantastic. But you're leaving for my heart at the scene. Yeah, Ashland Speed, everybody. Yeah. We get the sponsor in there. First stop is Mazda marketing. No agenda. Yeah. Yeah, baby.

She has in these songs, she sings about Mazda. I mean, this is great. Mazda marketing. But I can see it. I can see we can do we can have a whole stable, a whole stable of stable. Right. Why not? Why one? Exactly. We got to scale. We at least we have the Silicon Valley attitude. Yes. Scale until we take over the world. Scale it up, baby. Not only that, but there will be no other music but ours. Exactly. Everyone will be all in on our stuff. Yes. I like it. Yeah, I know.

I thought I knew you would like it whenever there's money involved. John's record publishing business has got to be a moneymaker, even though now is the time because everyone says it's not a moneymaker. Yeah. Now is the time not to be in the business because of this. Yes. And well, you know, Sir Gene, he just published his his creation, which we'll have to sign. I mean, he jumped the gun a little bit, but he's on Spotify now with Amy Clare Smith.

Amy Clare Smith, he created a whole persona that she could easily be in our stable. And it's a whole album of Christian music from Sir Gene. Yes. From Gene. Yes. The Russian spook. Yes. And he was texting Tina like, what do you think of this song? What do you think of this song? This is great. No Agenda Records. No Agenda. N.A.M.P. No Agenda Music Publishing. NAMP. NAMP. It's our future. You got to get this off the ground. Yeah. Well, it's not that hard.

We just got to register with Spotify and the other guys, and then we'll immediately have a put up a content strike against Gene. Hey, if you're not on our label, we're going to content strike you for stealing our stuff. Yeah, you're already getting the right idea. Yeah. Being an asshole music publisher. You know, I've been around him all my life. It's not that hard. I know exactly what to do. I know how to do it. It's not like this is slouch kind of thing.

It's like it's not as though you're going to be naive. No, I think this is better than the microphone company, although. Hey, you can do it. Yeah. Don't threaten. Not instead of, but in addition to. Don't even threaten. I'm going to. I'm waiting for the tariff thing to settle down. Oh, now it's tariffs. Oh, yeah. Oh, I saw that coming a mile away. Yeah. Yeah. You're waiting for the tariffs.

OK. And at the same time, the tariffs are the reason for Dvorak dot dot org slash and a still being old tariffs. Is that it? Tariffs? No, exactly. I knew it. Month full. You have a month full. You're back. I'm back. You're on here. Exactly. Exactly. All right. Hey. So we've been talking about these Gen Z things, right? Is said the Zed's about the Zed color revolutions. So I'm watching the 60 minutes extended 60 minutes interview with Jared Kushner and Steve.

We're the first person who's ever watched that. It popped up for me. It popped the Algo gave it to me. Thank you. Thank you, Google. So it popped up for me. And it was actually is quite good because they go through all the steps of negotiation. And then when Israel bombed the Qatar and how that was handled, the whole thing is very informative, completely useless for the show. Unclipable. Nothing you'd want. Yes. To be long. Jared Kushner looks like his whole voice is Botox.

Nothing moves when he talks. Yeah. Yeah. He's getting close to look like one of those putty faced woman on the I've had it podcast. Yeah, it's it's it's odd. However, right near the very end, as they start talking about peace, because, you know, peace is infectious. Where Steve Whitkoff reveals something interesting. What about Ukraine? Are you working on it? Well, we are. You are actively actively. I'm just always available to Steve as needed. Doing a peace deal is becoming infectious.

People want to do them. People want to get to this place. You know, it's it's not I don't think it's it's coincidental that leaders are now coming to the White House saying, how do we move a peace deal forward in Ukraine? And we're getting calls from the Iranians. So what? Yeah. So what are they saying? What? Peace is infectious now. Who are the Iranians calling? Well, well, we're we're we're we're there to, you know, hopefully have a long term diplomatic solution with Iran.

So and someone's working on that. Oh, yeah. We're working on we're working on Algeria and Morocco right now, our team. And there's going to be a peace deal there in the next. In my. Did you hear it? Oh, what? And Algeria and Morocco. Morocco. Yeah. Yes. And someone's working on that. Oh, yeah. We're working on we're working on Algeria and Morocco right now. Our team. We want our team. We wanted to know who was behind it is us. We're the ones we are. We already said in the last show.

No, we questioned it. We said we have. Wow. You surprised me. The whole I said on the last show, I said that Morocco was the model. You said we got to figure out who's behind it, if it's us or not. We had no proof. Now we have. No, but I did. Right. Yes. For the fact that it's not happening here. I thought we both concluded that it had to be us. It had. We didn't. We don't know who it is at all. Take the win. OK, I'll take the win. But I did.

But I want to make sure that that the fine points of the win are noted because it's going to come up in the conversation. This is not something that's going away. No, but this is us. Oh, yeah. We got a team in place on discord. On discord. He left that out. I wish he would have said that it would have been perfect. So meanwhile, because you brought up Ukraine, there's something very strange happening in the EU. And let me see, because I have a couple of different clips.

So first, we have the new sanctions against Russia, which have been implemented, which is totally going to screw the EU even further. But there's more going on here. The European Union and the United States have imposed new sanctions against Russia in a bid to force the Kremlin to accept an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine. The US sanctions announced on Wednesday target Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, with the former also being blacklisted by the EU bloc.

The new sanctions were the first to be imposed by the US during President Donald Trump's second term, who on Wednesday said he hopes that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will engage in diplomacy and agree to a ceasefire. They're massive sanctions and sanctions on oil. The two biggest oil companies, among the biggest in the world. But they're Russian. They do a lot of oil. And hopefully it'll push. Hopefully he'll become reasonable.

And hopefully Zelensky will be reasonable to, you know, takes two to tango, as they say. And we're going to find out. The decision represents a win for Europeans who have spent 10 months pleading with Washington to tighten the screws on the Russian economy, which lead to success until now. Aside from a host of financial measures, the EU's latest round of sanctions includes the bloc's first ever ban on imports of Russian liquefied natural gas, LNG, which will apply from the start of 2027. 2027.

Okay, so but here's what's happening. So Zelensky's been doing the rounds again. He's flying around everybody. Is he ever in Ukraine anymore? No. Why? It's dangerous there. Why would you want to be in Ukraine? So he's out there in Brussels and he's standing with EU Council President Antonio Costa. I guess he's kind of Ursula's counterpart. She's in the parliament. He's in the council. And he makes a big, long deal of giving him money.

Dear Vladimir, as a future member of the European Union, I'm very glad to have you here among our colleagues. First message. In spite of the great expectations created by President Trump's initiatives, that's clear today that unfortunately, these initiatives doesn't match the goodwill of President Putin. What he's trying to say is, hey, man, Trump is making you buy that stuff. Now, that's no good. He was supposed to give it to you.

And Russia, Russia is increasing the strikes, is increasing the strikes against civilians, against civilian facilities. And then means that we need to continue to support your fight for a just and lasting peace. So we're going to support your fight with money. And the first thing, this is nuts. This is this is like suicide. 150 jets from Sweden. Yes, I heard that. And here's douchebag Doug. He's back on France 24.

I mean, while the Ukrainian president, Vladimir Zelensky, is touring his European allies, he met the Swedish prime minister today and both leaders signed a cooperation deal. Well, joining me on set now is our international affairs editor, Douglas Herbert. Doug, what do we know about this deal then? What's it about? Well, what's that's the beginning of a potentially massive export deal, aircraft export deal. It would be these fighter jets. They're called Gripen. Gripen. Produced by Sweden's Saab.

The Swedish government would essentially be buying them from Saab and then supplying them to Ukraine. And the order calls for, you know, within the next three years or so, ramping up production of these jets. It's a fourth generation of these jets, to perhaps 100 to 150 of them, sending them on to Ukraine.

The Gripen are basically, when I said their fourth generation, they've been around a while, but they were really deployed in this new generation for the first time this year, actually Thailand in its confrontation with Cambodia. And what they are is they're used in aerial air to air combat, sort of aerial bombardment missions, also reconnaissance missions.

It's everything, really, the type of jet aircraft, the jet fighters that Ukraine needs for its future air force, especially at a time where it's really more and more up against it in the face of higher technology types of Russian attacks, greater swarms of drones and missiles, almost night after night at this point coming from Russian. So I don't know much about these jets, these Gripen jets. I don't know if they're any good, but this is not going to please the president.

We have military people listening to the show that should tell us where this jet stands in the scheme of things. And douchebag Doug winds it up here with, you know, this is basically a hedge against America helping, I guess.

It's the type of deal that European countries have now been sort of hard pressed to try to step up to the plate and provide, because as you see, Donald Trump's been stepping back from the Ukrainian front, no longer directly supplying Ukraine, and rather cajoling, you might use the word bullying, the Europeans to buy the weapons from U.S. stockpiles and then supply them on to Ukraine. So the Europeans have really been taking on the brunt.

And within Europe itself, the Nordic countries, such as Sweden, which let's not forget, just joined NATO last year, 2024, it's a new member of NATO, really trying to step up in this long-term cooperation agreement. Like I said, it's the beginning. They've signed a letter of intent, which really starts the whole process. Saab is going to have to ramp up its production of these jets, maybe over the next couple of years, producing 20 to 30 of them a year.

I think the initial production is already 60 are in the pipeline, like I said, up to 100 to 150 of them. It's a big deal, perhaps Sweden's biggest airport, aircraft export deal ever. I'll just mention he was in Norway before this. It's a swing of the Nordic countries. Norway's donating almost $150 million to Ukraine for a natural gas deal with electricity and heating through what's expected to be a very cold and difficult winter. So is this just virtue signaling?

This doesn't sound like a real deal at all. A letter of intent. I've signed a lot of those. We intend to do this, but that doesn't mean we're going to do it. That's a very European thing, by the way. Letter of intent. Yes, we have an LOI. Ever noticed that, that the Europeans love doing LOIs? I haven't noticed it, but now that you mentioned it, I'm now thinking about it and it's probably true. Yeah, they do. Oh, we have a letter of intent with you. That's very good.

Yes. Oh, so you could do like a trial balloon in the press. Yeah, it's like a test marketing. Yeah. And this, of course, this news is trying to be suppressed, I think mainly by, I think maybe even the Trump administration, this shenanigans with the procurement of NATO. What, bribes? No, say it ain't true. Tensions within the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance as a vast investigation into suspected irregularities in the agency's awarding of arms contracts continues.

Three Belgian media, together with a Dutch investigative website, found that several former and current NATO employees are accused of accepting bribes between 2021 and 2025. This involves contracts issued by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, which manages multi-billion euro defense purchases on behalf of the alliance's 32 member states. say the men allegedly received tens of thousands of euros for passing confidential information to defense firms seeking to secure lucrative contracts.

At least three people were arrested in May as part of an investigation into the alleged corruption at the Luxembourg-based agency. At the time, an operation dubbed Clean Hands was initiated with participation by several agencies, including the NSPA, the FBI and the European Judicial Agency. These investigations are ongoing. NATO on Monday reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy towards fraud and corruption, stressing its commitment to transparency.

If you're taking bribes for billions of dollars, why do you take 10,000? Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Do it right. It's like the guys, this is the same thing as the NBA betting scandal. Yeah, but it may just be the tip of the iceberg. Must be. Just the tip of the iceberg. So I'll wrap this up with a one clip from my boy there in Canada, Rassoulis. As the Budapest negotiations have been postponed, this is the meeting that's supposed to happen between President Trump and President Putin.

Andrew, Rassoulis joins me. Well, before you play it, this is an interesting, actually before you play that, play my clip, the Russia, Trump clip at the bottom of the list. Then you wrap it. But there's something, this whole thing, you know, I'm thinking about this because Trump came out and said, well, you know, I just don't feel like, I'm going to, your original thesis that he's really screwing the Europeans here by cutting off their supply of oil. And natural gas. And natural gas.

Yeah. And the fact that Trump says, I don't know, I was going to have this meeting in Budapest, but I don't feel like it. And there was a long, long call between Lavrov and Rubio, supposedly went well. And there was a long call between Trump and Putin for two and a half hours that supposedly went well. And now all of a sudden this is happening. This sounds very suspect. Well, I believe there's collusion going on between Trump and Putin. Yeah, of course there is.

And they're going after, probably, the North Sea Nexus. But look at it. We don't need your jets, man. We got these Grippins, whatever. They were great in the Thailand-Cambodia conflict. Yeah, that must have been a whopper of a conflict. President Trump is now imposing what he calls, quote, tremendous sanctions on Russia's two biggest oil companies as he calls on Moscow for an immediate ceasefire with the war in Ukraine.

This is happening as President Trump confirms canceling his Budapest summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Take a look. Today is a very big day in terms of what we're doing. Look, these are tremendous sanctions. These are very big. These are against their two big oil companies. And we hope that they won't be on for long. We hope that the war will be settled. When we canceled the meeting with President Putin, it didn't feel right to me.

It didn't feel like we were going to get to the place we have to get. President Trump also calls on U.S. allies to enforce the same sanctions and says that he hopes that these sanctions will help Putin, quote, become reasonable. And on other foreign affairs, President Trump confirms that he has what he calls a pretty long meeting scheduled with CCP leader Xi Jinping on the sidelines of APEC in South Korea. President Trump says that he's optimistic about a deal where China buys American soybeans.

He also says he thinks that Xi Jinping can have a, quote, big influence on Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Oh, this is the trifecta. So we bring Putin and China and it'll be USA, CCP, USSR against the monarchies. I still like that theory. Andrew Rossellius. It's an exciting theory. Yeah. Andrew Rossellius has a little more straightforward view on it. But there was a there was a funny. Yeah, I want to hear that.

But there was a funny meme floating around saying they had these no kings rallies in these various countries. And half those countries have monarchs. Yeah, they have kings. Of course. No kings rally in a monarchy. Whoops. Andrew Rossellius joins me now. He's a retired official with the Department of National Defense. Good morning, Andrew, as always. Great to have you with us. So Russia sending out drone and missile attacks hours after Trump said that meeting with Putin was off the table.

What does this say about Russia's position on a ceasefire and seeing an end to this war? It's very clear. Lavrov made the point yesterday to Rubio that basically the Russians will not accept the situation where they have to agree to a ceasefire prior to negotiations. The Russian position is the exact opposite. They want negotiations on a settlement. And if that's successful, then they will agree to a ceasefire and in effect, an end to the war.

And so right now, from a Russian perspective, the only option on the table for them is the war option. They will continue to prosecute the war until they force the Ukrainians to accept the Russian positions. Neutrality, the 4.0 blasts and no NATO, that kind of thing. And that's where we're at right now. The summit is postponed, not canceled. But right now we are on the war option. We're on the war option. Well, that was what it always was. They never wanted to ceasefire.

I mean, this report could have been done two months ago. It's the same thing. No ceasefire. No, we agree on everything. Then we'll stop. Yeah. And I don't blame them for that. Because it's, you know, the Russians are the ones that are in that Eastern European bloc where they know, they understand the personalities of the Ukrainians, the Georgians and all these allies. Yeah, all of them. They know what their personality is like.

And I believe that the Russians think that the Ukrainians are not trustworthy. Or the Europeans. It's really the Europeans. The Europeans are not trustworthy. And so, in other words, if they had a ceasefire, they would start to encroach. So if we look at ARK, America, Russia, China, and we look at that possibility, the news of our deal with Australia starts to look more like a unified front than an attack on China. This could all be total theatre, as far as I'm concerned.

Here's the Sky News report, and then I have the actual audio, which include a little extra bit. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's time has finally arrived, sitting down with US President Donald Trump. After the compliments, it was time for business. The two leaders signing an 8.5 billion US dollar deal to invest in critical minerals. These power everything from mobile phones to night vision goggles and solar panels.

Gracelyn Baskaran is the Director of Critical Mineral Security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the US. She says the deal is world leading. This is the first major concrete minerals deal that we have had, not just in this administration, but in modern history. And this deal has a couple of things. We've done a lot of MOUs and agree to agrees, but what we haven't actually had is how do we get rubber to hit the road?

Fortunately, Australia has the depth of the mining industry, the capital, and the know how to be that partner for us. From minerals to nuclear submarines, President Trump says Australia will get what it pays for. So what actually was said was a little bit deeper. If you listen, it's not just about extraction, it's about the process. Australia has had a view for some time, a bit similar to putting America first.

Our plan is called a future made in Australia, which is about not just digging things up and exporting them, but how do we make sure that we have across the supply chains with our friends being able to benefit, seize those opportunities. So we certainly see part of what this is about isn't just digging things up. It's also about processing, including that joint ventures between Australia and the United States.

Not just digging stuff up, which is what the Brits have done with them for decades, just use them as a mine pit, but they're going to process them and we're going to buy processed rare earths from them. That's a little different than. Well, that's assuming they have the facilities. Are they doing that now? Not that I know of. I thought China had the market cornered for the refining and processing of these minerals. Well, let's ask the dumb computer. And is it something that you can do over?

Can you set up shop overnight? I don't think so. Let's find out. Error, does Australia have rare earth processing facilities and capabilities? Australia's ramping up, but yeah, it's got some real progress. Linus has a major plant in Kalgoorlie that's already cracking and separating rare earths from their Mount Weld mine, making it one of the few non-Chinese options globally.

Iluka is building the Eneba refinery north of Perth, set to open next year for more processing, even from outside feedstocks. We've got reserves, but scaling full chains like magnets and alloys is still early. Government and allies are pouring money in to speed it up. So watch this space. Watch this space. Watch this space. In other words, no. Well, no. She said clearly, yes, they have started. No, they started, but they haven't the timeline is not unclear.

Well, this is something you can't do overnight. It takes special skills. I think that it'd be years and you can't, you can't have a big lag of a year. I don't know that. I don't know. How do we have, are we, did we run out of magnets? Do we not, do we not have any magnets at all? I think magnets, I think it's, well, let's, let's look at the way we do business with just in time, everything. Yes, we must have, we will run out of magnets because we don't stockpile anything in this country.

We do everything on a just in time basis. It was developed years ago by, especially in high-tech developed years ago by Hewlett Packard who became experts at it. And then everybody got so good at it that Tim cook over at Apple's is a genius of logistics where you don't have to have anything stored in advance. Yeah, we don't, we don't have it. That's the way I see it. You are so knowledgeable. I'm just saying, this is the obvious weakness. Well, how about this?

You trust the so-called, I mean, why do we always talk about supply chain? Because it's a chain. How about this? I predict the, the, the trade deal with China is going to just, it's going to go away. President Trump's going to talk to Xi. He says, look, we got a good deal here. I'm going to screw all those guys. Eh, give me some of that. Give me some rare earth. That would be great.

You know, all of the North sea Nexus crowd are all loving what Peter Navarro did at the council on foreign relations, which of course is a complete North sea Nexus operation. Totally. Uh, did you see, did you see his speech? He did a speech and they did a one hour sit down and it was really like, Hey, to you. I'd like to thank the council on foreign relations for this kind invitation.

After all, it's not every day I get to speak before an audience that has opposed nearly every policy I've ever helped advance in the white house. But let's be honest with each other. CFR has been uniformly anti-tariff and anti -Trump and highly skeptical of an America first foreign policy that in truth is restoring our trade balance, building our industrial base, strengthening alliances like NATO keeping.

And as we just saw in the middle East, negotiating the broader piece and reasserting American sovereignty on the world stage. And you saw the speech? No. Oh, I thought, I thought you said you saw the speech. No, no. I said that I lost you. The blacked out for about two seconds. Oh, I'm sorry. Okay. Well, two seconds. You didn't miss anything. Here's the second or final clip. Then came the trans-Pacific partnership. Forgive me here, Mike. That was a good one.

TPP. Remember that Obama's signature legislation at TPP, everybody trans-Pacific partnership. It's all going to be good. CFR sold it as a geopolitical rampart against a rising China. Yet the TPP would have surrendered much of America's manufacturing base, including our crucial auto and auto parts sectors to Japan, Vietnam, and ironically, ultimately China itself. President Trump saw this very clearly and tore up the TPP on day one. I was standing right behind him on that beautiful day.

This is what the council on foreign relations has never understood. Weakening our industrial base has never strengthened our strategic position. Hold on a second. Stop. I think that he doesn't understand. They totally understand. Well, I think he's trying to infantilize them. They are working against the interests. That's what he's saying. I know, but he's saying that they don't understand that they are. I think they do understand that they are. I think they do as well.

I think he also knows they do. I think he is saying this to infantilize them. I'm not convinced that that guy is that on the ball. Well, I'm not convinced of what you just said. I think he's I think he's naive in that regard. I just there's other ways of putting it. And why would you do that? To tell them to go F themselves. I don't think that, you know, this is I don't think he's that kind of guy. He's he's he seems like a guy who likes to drink. He's in the right club for that.

It's 30 seconds. Listen to the last 30 seconds. So back it up to the beginning of that little bit. The whole piece. The second part. Yeah. Yeah. OK. President Trump saw this very clearly and tore up the TPP on day one. I was standing right behind him on that beautiful day. This is what the Council on Foreign Relations has never understood. Weakening our industrial base has never strengthened our strategic position. It is only invited aggression.

That's why in Trump world we do not trade off economic security for national security. We believe economic security is national security. Memo to CFR. You cannot project power if you surrender production. You cannot deter aggression when your supply chains run through your opponent's ports. You can't lead the free world if you can't make what the free world needs. I think when you're standing there and saying memo to you people, here's a memo to you.

I think you're kind of being a douche and say, we know what you want. We know what you're doing and you know it and we don't like you. That's the way I took it. I did totally the opposite of that. I think he's sincerely thinking that he's giving them a lecture of value. Really? Well, because most people don't see the Council on Foreign Relations the way you do or the way I do or the way a lot of people do and they don't see themselves that way either because they publish their roster online.

You can look it up and see who's on this operation. A lot of media people. It's just I think that they're just that arrogant. They are, but you're saying Peter Navarro doesn't know that about them? I'm pretty sure he doesn't. I see no evidence to the contrary. It doesn't really matter because the message was clear anyway. I think they got the message. Memo. Maybe Trump just wrote it for him and said, go say this. That's possible. It's possible.

Well, anyway, the fact is he's right and the TPP was a disaster. Yes, it was horrible. And the Council on Foreign Relations helped push it as they would do if they're going to represent the monarchs of the world. And then as just a beautiful blow, which was, I mean, when I heard this story, I'm like, oh, Dvorak planned this because all you need is hard hats and a clipboard and you can do anything you want. It's always been true, including stealing jewels from the Louvre.

A French government minister insisted today the security system at the Louvre was working as it was supposed to on Sunday, even though burglars easily made off with one hundred two million dollars worth of jewels. The Paris prosecutor says 100 investigators are on the case and the thieves. Elizabeth Palmer reports they're still on the loose. These guys literally had hard hats on and yellow vests and they moved a furniture moving elevator right in front of the Louvre, pushed it up to the window.

We're working here. Leave us alone. Yeah, this is. Well, you know, the funny thing about this, it's not being reported much. I think there's a couple of stories is that the head of security from the Louvre was just appointed a year ago. It's a woman that was hired because they needed to feminize the opera. They said they wanted to feminize the management of the Louvre. She has no experience whatsoever managing anything. She was an advisor in some security company.

And that's about as far as it got. She's never done anything like this at all. That's perfect. And they're not talking about it at all because it's a huge humiliation. And then here's the kicker. The stuff stolen was not insured. Oh, I didn't know that part. But even then, it's like a diamond. Everyone I know is like, oh, no, lab grown diamonds are better. All the kids are buying lab grown diamonds for for engagement rings. Nobody wants real diamonds anymore.

Do they still have that value or is that just some. I think that's a myth. I think people want real diamonds. But just beside the point that the whole, you know, the little crowns and all the rest of words are priceless. French government artifacts, basically. And they not they didn't insure them. And this woman didn't know what she was doing as a security. And they was basically a French version of D.I.. So it's a laugh. It's a joke. That's what's so cool about it. I love it. I love it.

I love it. All right, let's talk about the builder, Trump, the builder. You have a whole series of clips I see about the ballroom. Yeah, yeah. Trump, the builder. Everyone's all bent out of shape about the ballroom. Now, there have been other. Restoration. Yeah, but nothing this severe since 1920. Well, and also didn't didn't the whole White House burn down at one point and we rebuilt it? Well, that was in 1812. OK, well, it did happen.

That's all beside the point, because it's what they I have to say that they have one little piece of leverage here, which is it flipped in one of these reports that came. These are mostly from NPR where they're all, you know, in a tizzy. I think what Trump's doing is great. And I think people should recognize it as an improvement. Let me ask you a question. It's going to have it's going to look, you know, like it was part of the building. Let me let me ask you a question. If this were Obama.

Doing this, which is unlikely, but let's say it was Obama, do you think that the right of America would not be losing their crap over it? If it was Obama. No, if it was Obama, for one thing, it wouldn't be a ballroom. It would be an indoor basketball court. Yeah. Touché. Images of an excavator tearing off the facade of the east wing of the White House are going viral this week. Isn't isn't the term facade? Isn't that literally mean fake? It's like a fake front, the facade?

No, in the kind of it does in slang, but it actually means the front. Oh, it just means the front. OK. I thought the facade was just, oh, it's a facade. It's a fake front in front of the actual building. The fake part is only when it it has two meanings. So, OK, typical American English word. The demolition marks the groundbreaking for President Trump's 250 million dollar ballroom project. You probably hear the beautiful sound of construction to the back. You hear that sound?

Oh, that's music to my ears. I love that sound. But not everyone loves what they're seeing. Historic preservation groups are expressing concern and there are questions about whether the White House has followed proper procedure. We're joined now by NPR senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, who has become our resident White House renovations correspondent. We're adding a title to you, Tamara. All right. A lot of changes already.

I got to admit, I saw that picture of the east wing and I was like, oh, wow. OK, so it definitely does look dramatic. And it is. A White House official not permitted to speak on the record tells me the east wing is being brought down, modernized and rebuilt as part of the ballroom project. President Trump has wanted to build a ballroom at the White House for more than a decade.

But this demolition is taking a lot of people by surprise because when the project was announced in July, President Trump downplayed the impacts. It won't interfere with the current building. I won't be it'll be near it, but not touching it and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of. But then at a dinner last week for project donors, Trump pointed toward the east wing and said this.

Everything out there is coming down and we're replacing it with one of the most beautiful ballrooms that you've ever seen. The seating capacity and the price tag of this project have increased since this summer, too. OK, all right. Well, I thought it was interesting that he said they were going to touch the building and they took down the whole site. I didn't touch the the original iconic middle piece of the building. That's still I mean, well, I guess you could make that argument.

That would be I mean, if you ask someone, if you ask a kid, draw the White House, they don't draw the east wing as a part of it. Yeah, the east wing is it's pretty far off. I mean, it's just so they're tearing apart the thing so they can create, you know, a walkway, a walkway from point A to point B. You can't do it through a wall. No, Ken. So they're taking the wall. He is just doing this. There was a historical preservation phase earlier this fall. Now they're in the demolition phase.

The National Capital Planning Commission would typically have a role in approving a project like this. But the newly appointed chair of that commission, a top Trump aide named Will Scharf, said in September the commission doesn't have jurisdiction over demolition. Any assertion that this commission should have been consulted earlier than it has been or than it will be is simply false and represents a misunderstanding of this commission's role in that project.

When we are submitted a plan, we will review that plan. So they will need to approve construction, but they haven't yet. And the commission is currently closed due to the government shutdown. But OK, so the commission is shut down. The demolition is continuing, though, during the shutdown. The ballroom is being privately funded. Trump says he is chipping in and donors include major corporations.

If you go back a little bit, the way that was presented was and she says, but the ballroom is being still being constructed. And then she changes the topic to it's being funded privately. What kind of transition? What kind of reporting is this? They haven't yet. And the commission is currently closed due to the government shutdown. But OK, so the commission is shut down. The demolition is continuing, though, during the shutdown. The ballroom is being privately funded.

Trump says it was the script like this. Like, listen, we got to do five minutes on this. Just cut. He left something out of the script. Cut straight to the money part. The word is played one more third more time. He says, though, he says it, but it's being still being torn down, though, as it's because it's had to be just to talk about that. It's also goes off on some other topic. It's also possible that just edited that out of this pre-produced package. Like, we got to cut this cut.

Oh, I could be like one of my edits. Yeah, correct. Let's do the government shutdown. But OK, so the commission is shut down. The demolition is continuing, though, during the shutdown. The ballroom is being privately funded. Trump says he is chipping in. Well, I guess you could make the case that the commission who would have to fund this normally, that they're shut down. And then she says, yeah, mention of funding whatsoever. I know. I know. I know. I know. It's irritating. It's NPR.

What do you expect? It's due to the government shutdown. But OK, so the commission is shut down. The demolition is continuing, though, during the shutdown. The ballroom is being privately funded. Trump says he is chipping in. And donors include major corporations with business before the government. So will it be this portion of the ballroom brought to you by Pfizer? Well, is that is that we're going to get? This is beyond my mind, too. Well, let's finish the clip.

They never discuss this, by the way, but I was thinking, would they put their names up in the brick ceiling? You buy a brick. You buy a brick house. You buy a brick. And this is this brick is Pfizer. And this week, hey, can we buy a brick for this thing? No agenda show sponsors the ballroom. The brick house, why not the brick house business before the government? Google is donating more than 20 million to the project to settle a civil suit filed by Trump. That's hardly a donation.

That is extortion. They could have called him out on that for extortion. If that's true. If it's true. Well, of course, you always have to ask, where does all the fine money go to? You know, when when Boeing has to pay 100 million dollars or when any company has to pay, where does it go into the general fund? Yeah, but this was a lawsuit specifically. Trump is a personal lawsuit. It's not a government lawsuit against Google. Oh, well, then he's that's OK.

Go back to the beginning of the report where he says Trump is chipping in. It's his 20 mil he's chipping in right there from Google. Yeah, I think so. The government Google is donating more than 20 million to the project to settle a civil suit filed by Trump. And those are among many reasons. Watchdogs say this project is a giant ethical red flag. How does the White House respond to this?

Well, they put out a fact sheet listing all of the various White House construction projects over the years and called the negative reaction to this one, quote, pearl clutching. Let's let's let's take one little intermezzo, one minute of curl, clutching and curl, clutching, pearl, clutching. Kareem Jean-Pierre Abdul-Jabbar on The View promoting her book, talking about this. So what are your thoughts on the demolition? So yeah, so the people's house is basically being sold to the higher spitter.

No, it is corruption at its core. And I heard someone say this when I was backstage. It could not be. There's no greater metaphor right now than than what's happening right now in this country. Then watching Donald Trump take a wrecking ball to the White House. Yeah, wrecking ball. When I saw the image yesterday, I was like, this is not real. But why don't they let him get away with it? He has all of these people who just let him get away with whatever he wants to do.

That's that's what he's been doing for the last nine, 10 months. Like the powers that are in the D .C. are not standing up. They're acting as if they're powerless, which is part of the book independence. No, you all have power. Yeah, you all have power. Do something with it. This Kareem Jean-Pierre is getting on my nerves. She's out everywhere with her new long hair. Yeah, the long hair, long straight hair. Cherry curl. He's got something in there. Hey, boomer. Yeah, all right.

It's probably a wig. It probably is. So I was thinking, you know, they did miss an opportunity here. I'm surprised Trump did that or didn't at least give it to somebody to do, which is they're they're tearing down the wall and they're bulldozers and wrecking balls in the rain. Why don't they sell chunks of it to the public as souvenirs? Ten bucks, you have a piece of the White House. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a chunk of splinter, a big chunk of wood, anything.

It just seems like a missed opportunity. Yeah, I guess. Anyway, this I think is the last clip. Several historic preservation groups have expressed concerns about the renovations underway at the White House, including the Society of Architectural Historians. The chair of the group's Heritage Conservation Committee is on the line with us now. Priya Jain is an associate professor at Texas A&M University. Good morning. Thanks so much for joining us. Thanks for having me.

Your group issued a lengthy statement about your concerns. Can you briefly tell us the main ones? Sure. When the news of the White House ballroom addition first emerged in July, we started hearing from our membership about concerns about the scale and the visual impact of the project to the existing and highly significant historic building.

So we wrote a statement that called for more transparency on what exactly was going to be demolished because there was some conflicting information regarding whether the East Wing would be demolished or simply added onto. So we asked for a more comprehensive review of both the demolition and the new construction. We also asked for impacts to the White House grounds because the new building does extend significantly into the grounds.

And finally, we asked them to consider the broader impacts this project is going to have on preservation projects across the country being such a visible and highly significant structure. So you mentioned a number of concerns about best practices being followed, for example. You note in the statement that there have been a lot of advances in historic preservation, restoring objects, restoring... Yeah, like all the statues they pulled down during BLM. That was very historic.

It was really historic restoration of historical things in the D.C. Sort of architectural integrity and so forth. And you also mentioned the landscape in the grounds. The question I have for you is, is it a legal requirement to follow these kinds of processes for a building as important as the White House? Or is it more of a custom or a courtesy or a sort of a, I don't know, like a professional standard? Do you see what I'm asking?

Sure. The fact that everyone's making such a big deal of this is what's interesting. This is just an extension of no kings. You know what I mean? It's just like, whatever. Just be mad at Trump. Be mad at Trump. He's doing something. Be mad at him. Yeah, I find the whole thing to be fascinating with this. And it is pearl clutching. Yeah. I think they nailed it. You know, the press secretary girl. You have a... Yeah, I think that was the last clip. No, no, you have a fourth clip here.

You have a fourth clip. Oh, I thought that was the fourth clip. Okay, well, the fourth clip, by the way, it goes on beyond this. And she comes to this woman, this Indian woman who was, you know, talking about the ballroom. She's in this organization. Who cares what they think? They have no... There's no jurisdiction of some club over anything that the president does at the White House. And it just... And insofar as it being the people's house, he's got no right to do these things.

If it's the people's house, can I go spend the night there? You can get a tour. You can get a tour. I think I was promised a night in the Lincoln bedroom. I'm completely miffed about the whole thing. What happened? Well, don't you remember? You were the first guy to say Trump will be president in 2015. Yep. Yeah. You're going to get an invitation. No invitation for the inauguration. No, no invitation for the Lincoln. No, you get nothing. I look bad. My wife is like, you got no pole.

By the way, she's mad at me now. She says, you're making fun of our guests. Did I make fun of our guests about the MTV thing? Not really. I didn't think so either. No, I made fun of MTV. Well, you kind of, I think, mocked. Oh, whose side are you on? The Xer by doing one of your voices. Oh, I'm sorry. Because I never do voices. Okay. Yeah. All right. You're in trouble. You're going to be sleeping in the dog house. Probably. Yes. Phoebe will be in the bed. Oh, boy.

Yes. Now, typically when a federal or a federally assisted project is done and it has the potential to affect any historic building, a process known as Section 106 from the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 kicks in. Now, this project, because the White House, the U.S. Capitol and the Supreme Court are exempt from formally initiating that process.

However, this does not mean that in prior projects that have included minor things on the White House grounds like the tennis pavilion or perimeter fencing or other changes that they have not gone through internal advice and oversight on the project, as well as approvals from the National Capitol Planning Commission, as well as from the U.S. Fine Arts Commission.

So there are vehicles, even though the exemption from 106 exists, there are wider executive orders, other procedures that need to be followed to make sure that the project will not negatively impact. So you just heard the administration's response that there have been a lot of construction projects at the White House and that these critiques are just pearl clutching. What's your reaction to that? Yeah, I mean, it is true. The White House is a living building.

It has undergone various and it should undergo these various changes. However, I do want to point out that in the list that was issued yesterday, if you look at it closely, all the changes after 1942 have been limited to the interior and the ones on the exterior either involve simple restoration or minor site additions like the tennis court and the pavilion, which are limited by their scope, size and visibility to have any negative impact on the historic building.

This is really the biggest addition since the 1940s, and it's large in scope and size. OK, now I have to play some counterbalance to this because this was this lady was boring. I'm not going to argue that. No, we need some outrage. But at least she had a nice accent. No, I didn't like that either. I need some outrage. Let's go to Anderson Cooper. Good evening. Tonight we have a front row seat to history, or more accurately, the destruction of it. See, this is what I'm talking about.

This is what we want to hear. We want to hear about it. This is good. This is good stuff. The east wing of the White House is being torn down, torn down, modernized, not renovated, torn down the whole thing. And we've been watching it happen all day long. Oh, no. See, this is pearl clutching and Anderson Cooper has pearls. He owns them. I guess. Oh, you know it. Yeah. Yeah. It is hard early necklace or not to be taken aback by what we are witnessing.

If you think, well, that can't possibly be happen happening. It is. And the president confirmed that the entire east wing is being demolished late today. We determined that after really a tremendous amount of study with some of the best architects in the world, we determined that really knocking it down, trying to use a little section. You know, the east wing was not much. It was not much left from the original. It was a very small building.

And rather than allowing that to hurt a very expensive, beautiful building that, frankly, they've been after for years. Well, holding up renders and floor plans, which he'd brought with him and with the secretary general of NATO by his side, the president added, quote, This was something they've wanted for at least 150 years. He did not say who they were or why this was 150 years in the making. But this is what he's building on.

What was the home of the offices of the first lady and the spot where millions of people from around the country in the world have begun their White House tours as former Republican strategists and White House aide Rick Wilson? Admittedly, no fan of the president put it today. The wing became a geography of grace notes, the stewards of tone and memory.

Well, tone and memory have been trumped by gaudy gold and the construction of the 9000 square foot megastructure, nearly twice the size of the central mansion of the White House. It'll dwarf the size of the main part of the White House, which it is right next to. Oh, coming from a Vanderbilt, a Vanderbilt. That's a good point. Build some of the biggest, gaudiest buildings in the entire United States. A Vanderbilt. Let's go to Inside Edition. There is more outrage today.

Full scale of east wing demolition is revealed. Most of the building appears to have been ripped away. The east wing, as we knew it, is gone. The construction company carrying out the demolition Aceco is also facing backlash. Their Google listing is being flooded with negative one star reviews. And today, White House. Oh, no, my Google reviews. Historians are appealing to President Trump to stop.

We are deeply concerned that the height of the proposed new construction will overwhelm the White House and may also permanently disrupt the carefully balanced classical design of the White House with its two smaller and lower wings, declares the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The White House is fifty five thousand square feet and the new ballroom is almost twice that size. This animation shows how the new structure will dwarf the White House.

When you go to the White House, your attention is immediately going to be drawn and distracted away from the White House to this gigantic new ballroom. It's going to totally overshadow everything. OK, and then we should finally go to CNN. Oops. Oops, oops, oops. Here we go. As the historic east wing of the White House is ripped down, outrage is piling up with preservationists saying they are deeply concerned new construction will overwhelm the White House itself.

And former first lady Hillary Clinton posting here we got his house. It's your house and he's destroying it. And the rich coming from a woman who stole all of the plates and the cutlery when she left my house, my house, please. Well, that's what she thought was her house. Yes. Destroying the reader response has been overwhelming. I mean, people are emailing me every five minutes. There's something about these images that have really upset people.

The White House communications director is dismissing the worries as pearl clutching by losers. And President Trump has not even blinked. You probably hear the beautiful sound of construction to the back. You hear that sound? Oh, that's music to my ears. I love that sound. Other people don't like it. I think when I hear that sound, it reminds me of money.

After planting massive flagpoles outside the White House, slathering the Oval Office in gold trim and paving over the legendary Rose Garden, Trump is relocating the office of the first lady and more and demolishing the space to fulfill his longtime dream of installing a vast ballroom, bigger than a football field, able to hold about a thousand people in an architectural rendering. The $200 million add-on looks like something from the French Palace of Versailles.

Or, as many critics have noted, a salute to Trump's Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. Trump's allies seem fine with that. And on Capitol Hill, they echo the president's claim that the cost will be covered by private donors. It's not even taxpayer money. It's going to be a permanent renovation that'll enhance the White House for all future presidents. Yes. Oh, well, anyway. So it's just the amount of outrage, and it's a little baffling. I think it's just more, please hate Trump. Just hate him.

I don't see any other reason for it. Please hate him. I want to take you into the snaps. By the way, it's embarrassing they don't have a big ballroom anyway. Yeah. Because they do these giant events, and they just put up these cheesy tents. I mean, you've been to the White House. You've done the tour of the White House, haven't you? No, I never have. Oh, I did. Uncle Don took me on a tour, and I got to go into the Oval Office. And you know what I thought? This thing is small, is what I thought.

Yeah, well, they have a copy of the Oval Office in most of the presidential libraries. In Biden's house, in his basement, they got a copy of it. Yeah, it was a little smaller. Everything's smaller, though. It's a little dinkier. No, but I remember. It felt small. It didn't feel grandiose. No, the Oval Office is small. Yeah. So I want to get you into the snap stuff with two clips, and then you can take it from there. And it started with kind of an interest.

I hadn't actually considered this angle. Jon Stewart brought it up with Bernie Sanders, and Bernie Sanders, of course, went, you know, to where he always goes. He's worried about the oligarchs. Well, no. But the one thing that we know is a no-no, is like the third rail in Washington, D.C., is the insurance companies, because they're not really insurance companies. They're banks.

And there's a lot of money in the banks, and a lot of money can do a lot to unseat you, to, you know, fund primaries against you. They're always, always, always worried about the insurance companies. And Jon Stewart brought this up in regard to the shutdown. And Bernie Sanders, of course, took it in a different direction, because he just wants Medicare for all. Yeah, all right, fine. But I thought it was a good moment from Jon Stewart.

Democrats find themselves in a place is we've shut down the government to protect subsidies for an insurance marketplace that funnels $800 billion a year into the pockets of all these insurance companies. Have Democrats boxed themselves into a corner, fighting for a system that ultimately, to get the thing that you want, that I think the American people want, they're going to have to abandon. Yes. Look, here's where we are right now, and I think it's not been made as clear as it should.

If Trump gets away with what he wants, we are looking at 15 million people losing their health insurance. And according to studies, Jon, 50,000 low -income and working-class people dying every year unnecessarily. Based on lack of accessibility to health. Right. You're low-income, you're working-class, you don't have any health, you have a chronic ill, you die. We're all gonna die. That's what they're saying.

On top of that, all over the country - To be very clear, you do die anyway, just- You die anyway, but you don't have to die, you don't have to die- That way. Just because you can't get to a doctor. That is disgusting. Right. All right? And then on top of that, because of the cuts to the ACA, you're looking at some 20 plus million people seeing a doubling of their premiums at a time when they can't even afford health care right now. Right. All right? So your point is, is this a good system?

No. Is this a good system to defend- To defend today, yes. Political capital, okay. Obviously, obviously. Right. It is a system designed to make huge profits to the insurance companies and the drug companies. Right. Period. We have got to move to a Medicare for all single-payer program. Absolutely. Okay. So the two things, one, we need to return to the actual case at hand, which this is not health care. This is health care insurance, which sucks in America. It does. And this, and Stuart's right.

This is a subsidy to the insurance companies who are saying, well, if we don't get our subsidy, we're going to double the cost of your premium, which just so that we get the same numbers on the street. That's a valid point. And it's being lost in this shuffle of nonsense between parties in the DC. But there are other options. In fact, there is what they call the nuclear option to get out of this.

Democrats rejected a 12th stopgap funding bill by Republicans to end the government shutdown, now stretching into its 23rd day. Pennsylvania Democratic Senator John Fetterman broke ranks and voted to reopen the government. He says he supports Republicans using the so -called nuclear option to override the Senate filibuster and only require a simple majority to pass the bill. I am now fighting to opening because of the two million Pennsylvanians that are on SNAP and those funds are running out.

Two million people in Pennsylvania depend on this to feed themselves and their family. SNAP benefits expire in one week if a deal is not reached. Democrats want to negotiate a compromise before reopening the government. Republicans want to reopen the government first and then negotiate specifics. The nuclear option, I forgot that was always possible. Get rid of it. They don't like doing it. Well, no, of course not. Of course not, because then it can be used against them. Of course.

But isn't that what democracy looks like, John? Yeah, it's not a democracy. We have to fight against it. Yeah, but that is an option. And one of our guests last night, he works for DOD. Give us his voice. His voice. Yeah, you're going to ridicule him. So you know, no, no, no. This was a very good guy. He was a veteran. The other guy wasn't. They were all good. They were great. I love our guy. He's trying to make it worse. You are just the worst person. Here brings me to an email.

Hi, Adam, says Holly. When the first letter came in about you being mean to John, I had some thoughts about how you were chastised. Then you shared the second letter stating the complete opposite. I think both are extreme and one-sided. I personally like the back and forth banter between you and John. If you give John a hard time, I don't feel bad for him because I know he'll dish it right back out at some point. That is what makes your show so fun.

Women don't typically do this with friends, so they don't understand this when men and how they do this. Just so you know, I had to wait until I finished my gardening project to write this because there was still at least another hour of the show. Had this been video, I wouldn't have been productive today and probably would have gotten a nasty gram from the HOA. So there you go. And that's exactly right. Men do this more than women.

But after that, we go drink a beer and we have some hot dogs and we're fine. Women hold on to it forever. I forgot what actress it was that was, Cheryl Ladd. I think it was her. Maybe it wasn't her, but it was one of that level, kind of a high B list, low A. She was talking about, she picked up the idea of playing golf a lot. And so she ended up with a lot, you know, when you play golf as a woman, you're going to have most of the foursomes will be three men and a woman.

And she made this comment. She says, you know, I didn't realize until I started hanging out with men like this, how mean they are to each other. Yeah. But we also, we also. But it's mostly, you know, giving each other crap about a nice shot. Yeah. Yes. It's just like that. It's all in the tone. Yeah. It's a lot of tone. It's like, oh, wow. I see you've been at the driving range a lot recently. Yeah. A hundred yard drive. That's a beauty. All 25 yards of it. Yeah, exactly.

But we also build each other up. Hey boss, how you doing? Hey, big man. Yeah. We do that too. Instead of yo bitch. Actually the reference to the a hundred yard drive would not be what you just said. Well, not a golfer. Yeah, obviously. Cause a good drive is 250 to 310. So if you did a hundred and you were. All right. So here, here you are like calling me out on golf ball, golf ball. Yeah. So I'm calling it from now on.

I understand when playing around a golf ball, that's exactly the way it should be. Possible, possible a show title golf ball, although people only, if it's one word, I don't think it works as two words. All right. So, so the snap thing. And so let me just stay with, so our guests, he's a, he had, he actually got wounded in, I think Iraq. He now works for D and this is an, a new acquaintance. I like this guy a lot. He's like, he was actually born and raised in Fredericksburg.

He's a young guy, which means forties. So he still works for DOD, but he's working on all the new stuff. And I just didn't have the opportunity to kind of like draw it out of him, but, and I want to be fair. I want him to know that this is going to be on the show. But it's, he's, he says we have some amazing stuff coming down the pipeline, but he's right now, he's basically didn't get a paycheck. He says it's, and I said, well, what does he do for DOD that he would know about all this stuff?

He's in the new advanced weapons procurement division. And what's he doing in Fredericksburg? Doesn't he have to be in DC for that job? All good questions. I don't have an answer to. The only thing I did get out of him is that the DOD guys love Hagseth. They love Hagseth. They thought it was great that he pulled everybody in. This is not a well-known fact. No, that he's had, everyone loves that. He pulled in all those fat gutted generals from everywhere and gave them crap.

I can see people liking that. Of course, this guy's lean, mean fighting machine. He says we love being called the department of war. We love it. We want it. We love getting, we were weak. He says we were for 20 years, we were just weak and we all felt it and we all hated it. He's generalizing, of course. And then I'm like, so you're working on the golden dome? And he's like, no, no, much cooler. So hopefully I'll see him again soon and I'll get some details out of him.

This could be a new source, could be a new Fredericksburg source for the show. I just, as long as he's not just some guy who's full of it. No, no, no, no, no, no. He said, hey, check me out, all my metal, put a magnet on me, it'll stick. So the snap thing comes around with all these people coming online and making these short comments. And it's not just black people. It's black, it's Chinese, it's whites. And I have a bunch of... Whites? Whites?

Yeah, in fact, we end up with the white, the finale of this series of clips is this white trash female. Oh, nice. White trash dudes. Okay, so let's just set the stage here for a second, because what is happening, and it's kind of weird because the states, they, if I understand it correctly, the states actually provide the supplemental nutrition, what is it, SNAP? Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Yes, thank you. Which used to be called food stamps.

It averages about $140 a month, I think, which can mean a lot of money to people. Oh, it can be per person. Per person, okay. And it can be a lot more than that. It could mean a lot of money. There's some clips in here where some women are bragging about getting $4,000 a month. But the whole point... I don't have a lot of these, I mean, there's hundreds and hundreds of clips.

I'm still trying to get a handle on it, because I think a lot of people don't understand that this is part of the cuts that the Trump, the one big beautiful bill did is, okay, if you want to still be on SNAP and you can work or you can volunteer, you need to do that. So it's not a unilateral, we're cutting your benefits.

Like, hey, if you can work 20 hours a week or you can volunteer 20 hours a week, and a lot of this is fraud, of course, and the states aren't checking this fraud properly, which is why there's a lot talk about where it's really going, is it going to illegal aliens, etc. But it seems a lot of the people complaining actually could qualify, but now the states are running out of money because of the shutdown, or at least the money that should be appropriated towards SNAP.

I'm sure the states aren't running out of money, but is this being used as like, oh, well, this is it. This is going to be, we're going to have to cut your money. Is that a correct assessment? Generally, I say, yes, more or less. They could do something else. They could cut something else. And there's other ways of getting food. In most communities, there's food banks. From garbage cans. Garbage cans. No, well, actually, you might be surprised. Wow. Said the guy from Berkeley.

But generally speaking, there's food banks. There's other ways. Almost every little community has them. Eat cake, you peasants. There's other ways you can get food. Get it from the garbage can. Well, the reason I'm saying that, you're making it sound bullshit, but I'm not, you know, there is, you can get food, reasonably quality boxes of it, is that it's not like you're going to starve to death necessarily, unless you're like, you know, eat a lot. But that's beside the point.

Most of the people that are on these clips are threatening the system because they've become so dependent. The problem is, the way I see it, is the dependency on this to the tune of, what do you think, what does it think the food stamp program cost a taxpayer a year? 60 billion. Yeah. I think it was a newsletter. Yeah, I read the newsletter. Yeah. Yeah, I'm glad you did. So, 60 billion dollars of assistance.

And it began in the, just as a little background, it began, the first round of food stamps or assistance was during the depression, when the farmers were, they had an excess product and they couldn't get rid of it, so the government decided to buy it and distribute it in the same, in a form of, it was a food stamp-like system. Then it disappeared after World War II, came back in the 60s with Lyndon Johnson, mostly. He's the one who really codified and made it a big deal.

Which is a great way to enslave people to the state, basically. Yeah, that's what was the idea. Johnson was great at that. And so, we have people now threatening everybody, saying, and the main thing that I noticed, I don't have a, these are all short, super short clips, but this is classic. This is a black old lady, cousin, who, by the way, these are all not safe for, all of them, are not safe for young ears.

So, if you people want to, you know, skip past this, this would probably be the time to do it. Here's an old black woman, cousin. I'm trying to make sure I heard this right. Trump said all the groceries is free now. That's what I heard. Well, you take from us, we take from you. Thank you. We're going to be running out the motherfucking store. I've seen a couple of these. So, she's saying she's just going to steal.

There's a lot of counter clips to these, by the way, also by black people and others saying that, yeah, you're a genius for announcing this on the internet. Yeah. This is a woman, I believe a white chick with a big giant nose ring. This is the nose ring weirdo and her complaints. Just one of the 42 million Americans who won't be getting their snap benefits in November. Going to be a fucking awesome Thanksgiving as a single mother with a toddler.

I have so much to say about it, but there's not really much else to say other than fuck. So, how do you qualify for snap benefits? You have to prove that you have what your income is. You just fill out some forms. It's not that hard. Okay. Your low income is pretty easy, actually. Mm-hmm. And that last one with her Berkley hum, toddler, right of toddler. So, okay, now we have a very profane black woman. Donald motherfucking orange man, J Trump. I'm going to tell you just like this.

What the fuck you mean? Who ain't getting their goddamn food stamps in goddamn November? Because I'm getting my goddamn shit. I don't know about the rest of you motherfuckers, but I'm getting my shit because I'm going to tell you just like this on Jesus Lamar, motherfucking Christ. I will be at motherfucking Walmart with my steel toes on and my motherfucking helmet. And I dare a bitch try to stop me from walking out that motherfucking store with my groceries. Baby, I'm 250 pounds solid.

Baby, you want to see a human motherfucking bulldozer, baby? Because that's what the fuck I'm going to turn into. If you think you're going to stop me from leaving out that goddamn store with my motherfucking monthly groceries that I get every goddamn month, I ain't bothering no goddamn body, okay? Why the fuck is y'all bothering me and my goddamn food?

I'm just so tired of his big backbone head cradle cap having ass, shaped like a motherfucking penguin, any motherfucking way on vinyl, motherfucking walrus looking ass. I'm sick of him. Like, it's going to be an episode of goddamn Snap. If y'all turn them goddamn Snap benefits off, I can tell you that. All right. Now, if I was an end of show mixer, I'd put that thing right into the AI and make a massive hit. She's perfect for it. That's close to Obama phone lady. She's up there.

Yeah, she's pretty close to the Obama phone lady. Now we have a white trash dude. Hold on. Let's listen to the Obama phone lady for a second. Obama phone. Here she is, I think. This is her. Everybody in Cleveland, low minority, got Obama phone. Keep Obama in president, you know? He gave us a phone. That's the same lady. It's the same one. So she wants to go steal it from Walmart because. By the way, Walmart is the target for all these people with rare exceptions.

So I don't recommend anyone going to Walmart on the first of November or at least through that month. This thing is going to end before the first of November. It's going to end. We'll see. Yeah, I think so. Now we have the white trash dude complaining. Everybody going around saying that motherfuckers ain't getting food stamps next. Is it a white guy? Yeah, a white guy. Nice. Everybody going around saying that motherfuckers ain't getting food stamps next. Mind you, bitch, I'm on food stamps.

Let me tell you this right now. Donald J. Trump, I don't know what the fuck you got going on in that fucking house of yours, but bitch, you better fix it just because your ass going through some shit. Don't mean you got to take it out on everybody else, bitch. Fix this shit right now. Let me not get my food stamps. Let me not get my food stamps. I'm going back to stealing. I don't care.

If you leave your car unlocked in the middle of the night, lock it, bitch, because if I don't get no food stamps, best believe me and mine's going to eat regardless. Yeah, and what's so sad is that these people are very uninformed about what's happening. They are being taught by the media with stuff like the wrecking ball to the White House that it's all Donald Trump. It's just they don't even know. And it's just they don't know anything. They don't know that. I feel bad for them.

I don't understand how it works. Yeah. And so now we have the white trash female who is the is the last clip is the finale. Oh, the finale. Gotcha. If they take away snap benefits in the November and December, y'all better be fucking stealing from Walmart's big corporations, Whole Foods, stay away from the small stores and family owned stuff.

If like especially people in Albuquerque, like companies are going to be really fucking mad if they lose money, especially if everyone who lost food stamps just starts fucking stealing. Sounds a little bit like Mimi. I'll be honest. Just just a tad. I know it's not her. Obviously, that little bit of that somehow the accent you would. Well, I didn't get that. That's for sure. But so that was, you know, she's just telling everyone to steal. Yeah. So let's stay away from the little guy.

Yeah, that was that's that's kind of good to steal from the little Korean store guy. So that's the kind of situation that was that's evolved because of, you know, and it's all on tick tock, you know, and reels and these people complaining and moaning and groaning. And it's like, why don't you you're going to steal? Let's put. So let's say I'm going to steal. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to make a tick tock video so I can have a picture of me saying I'm going to steal. This is smart.

Yeah, I'm a genius. So you wonder why these people are, you know, can't can't get ahead. There's also people that just it's just there's hundreds of these things. I don't know what to make of it. Well, speaking of food, let's go to the war on beef, which is heating up. And this is pretty much exactly what Texas Slim predicted four or five years ago and has been talking about nonstop.

Now to the outrage over beef prices, American ranchers pushing back against President Trump's plan to import beef from Argentina. Elizabeth Schultz is here with those details. Good morning, Elizabeth. Hey, good morning, Robin. American cattle ranchers and top Republican lawmakers are now slamming President Trump's pledge to buy more beef from Argentina. The president says that this would increase the supply of beef in the U.S. and help bring down grocery prices.

Ground beef prices are up 13 percent in the past year. Steak is up almost 17 percent. The president says that this move would also support his ally, Argentinian President Javier Millet, ahead of midterm elections there on Sunday. The U.S. has already committed 20 billion in taxpayer dollars to help Argentina's economy at a time when, of course, hundreds of thousands of federal workers aren't getting paid here during the shutdown.

The head of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association says we cannot stand behind the president while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers. And farmers who we've been speaking with are frustrated that the Trump administration hasn't yet delivered an aid package for them while it is moving forward with this extraordinary bailout of Argentina, guys. All right. So there's a lot of different things going on here.

And the first thing that we need to understand is that the typical American rancher is really at this point just a commodity cowboy and just sells all his stuff to one of the big three producers. I'd say the biggest one, JBS, who is a Brazilian owned company. And they are completely linked to the cartels. They've got all kinds of weird products coming in from all over South America, not necessarily Argentina. The jacket full of hormones on the way up.

It's and then they just label it as American beef. And a good part of American beef is not American beef at all. Not in the supermarket. Exactly. And so what here's here's a small tip of the day. If you if you go to beef map dot com and you find a rancher near you, you can go to that rancher, go right to his door, say, hi, I heard about you on the No Agenda show. Texas Slim sent me. I'd like I'd like to shake your hand and buy your beef.

You will find that it is significantly cheaper than in the grocery store. And it's really good American beef. And there's not a lot. It's the minority of ranchers. But there's a real movement for local ranchers to feed their local community. This whole thing. And by the way, President Trump's not wrong in my mind. It's like, yeah, you know, you an Argentinian brief is not necessarily bad beef. In fact, they know they know a lot of stuff. Go to Los Gauchos.

Isn't that the big chain of Argentinian beef outlet? It's tasty. But what we're being served in the supermarket is crap from JBS. And you got to stay away from that. And I checked with Tina this morning. I said because she orders from K&C Cattle. We get ours. They're in Luling, south east of Texas, of Austin. And I say, you know, have the prices gone up? She said maybe 4 percent, which would kind of be in line with inflation, but certainly not any more than that. And it's cheaper than it.

H.E.B. are, you know, kind of that's our supermarket here in Fredericksburg, which is all over Texas. You know, they're OK, but I won't eat their beef and it's too expensive. So, you know, instead of and I'm not sure the president knows exactly what he's doing here. And yeah, it's going to bring down the price in the supermarket, but it's just going to be more crap that that that people are still paying way too much for. And this has been going on for a long time.

So just go to beefmaps.com and find your local ranch, local rancher and drive up and you can buy a lot of beef or relatively little amount. And they might even take your snap. I don't know. One of the things you when you buy from a local provider. Is that they will you can buy like a half a steer or a full it depends by different. Usually a quarter is the smallest. And they will send it over to the butcher. Who will then process? Well, there's local processing.

There's a whole revolution in local process. Well, I don't know what kind of revolution it is because it's been going on here for decades. But there are these butchers that process local beef and once the beef gets there, they'll ask you what you want and what kind of cuts you want. And the butcher and you say, well, I like to I like to get some there's a fillet and say you have a half an animal. So there'll be a flank steak and a fillet.

You can have them cut up or you can have the whole fillet put aside or you can have it done. If some butchers can do French cuts, which are totally different. Some people can do muscle cuts, which are totally different, or they can just give you this T-bone. The typical butcher will give you, you know, X number of T-bones. How thick do you want them? They'll tell you to say, I want them this thick or that thick, and they'll do that.

And the thing will be processed in no time and you go pick it up. It's all wrapped and sometimes frozen, probably frozen in most cases. And then you do all the chunks and pieces and everything left over is ground up and you get lots of ground beef, which is 10 times better than the stuff you buy anywhere else. Well, listen to this. So for our... In other words, what I'm saying is I've done this a number of times. Yes, of course you have. With sheep and pigs and... Of course you have. Of course.

And the butchers are out, there's tons of them and they like it. And you tell them exactly what you want to get. It's, you know, you have to have a freezer. So that's the one... You got to have a freezer and it's worth the investment. We have another outfit here that when we get our brisket from and our chuck roast, we just like it from them from Schneider Ranch. They're, I don't know, 30 minutes, 25, 30 minutes down the road. You go on their website, you order it.

The dude comes to our house within an hour. Hey, how are you doing? He's got his Yeti coolers under his arm. Hey Phoebe, stop barking at me. And he brings it right to her, right to her. It takes a check. It's like, ah, just give me cash, check, whatever you got. It's fantastic. It's fantastic. And it's really the way to go. And if you get ground beef, which is really inexpensive, you can eat ground beef for weeks. You can make meatballs, meatloaf, hamburger.

You can be very creative with ground beef. Just another tip for your Noah Jenna show. And while I'm on the topic, I bought for our gathering last night, I bought a couple bottles. I found it at my local HEB bottom shelf in the Cabernet Sauvignon aisle. Your tip of the wine, your Robert Mavado bourbon barrel. Yes. Yes. $11, $11 and 25 cents per bottle, which is very affordable as wine goes. And, um, the international arms dealers here, he said, oh yeah, I heard about this stuff.

I said, this is actually, how did he explain? He says, this is from, um, some of the really high end guys and they made too much and they sold it to these guys and they put it in this bottle and they send that to just dump in their stuff basically. Is that correct? No. Anyway, it was, it was universally liked. It's dynamite. It's a great tip of the day, particularly for a gathering. You know, I'm going to, the bottle looks like it's a $30 bottle of wine. Look what I got for you people.

Look at me. Have you seen my door that goes up? Yeah. I bought this wine for you. It's dynamite. Everyone. It's, it's a universally accepted. Very good. It was a good tip. Good tip of the day. So, uh, okay, well we got our beef discussion out of the way. So I guess that's good for people. They should know that, but you can also go, by the way, if you want to have some, some fun, you can go to the County fairs around the country. Uh, and you can, they have auctions of the animals usually.

And then the auction, you can buy the animal, uh, from some poor four H kid who cries a lot after you buy their animal to kill it. Uh, but you know, you had to put up with that. They get used to it. And, um, you're the worst, the animal gets shipped right to one of the butchers. There's usually a kind of contracted butchers and they get the animal and you get, you can, again, as you go through the process of telling them what you want. Well, what I want topic of food.

No, I was, I was going to thank you for your courage. I was, that's what I want. Oh, you were? Yeah. You know, we could do the cookie here. The what? No, no, thank you. Don't want you to thank me for my courage and I'll, I'll move this to the second half of the show. Thank you for your courage and say in the morning to the man who put the sea in the pearl clutching. Hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John. Yeah, well, good morning.

You wish I'm creating a relationship to see Bruce McGruffie in the air subs in the water and the names of nights out there in the morning to the trolls, the troll room. Hold on a second. Let me count you here for a second. 1,597 peak trollage in the troll room. I had a whole exchange with the Dana Brunetti this morning. Oh yeah. What'd he have to say? Well, first he said that you had blocked him and he sent me, he sent me a screenshot of him trying to call you and it said number busy.

I'm like, don't you know that John had just talks on the phone and he doesn't have call waiting and it's just busy when he's talking to Mimi. And then he was going off on you guys are wrong. You should be doing video because you know, more video is more eyeballs is more, is more pain. He already gave me that lecture. Yeah. And I said, we don't care about eyeballs. We do value for value. It's in with, we don't want to be lost to Silicon Valley platforms like your industry, Hollywood boy.

That's what I told him. You did. Yeah, of course. Hollywood boy. Uh, if I didn't, it's, I'm going to do it next time. That's why I live on a ranch. I stay as far from Hollywood as possible. Yeah. You already made your money and we know we got it. We still got his fingers with his smut, his 50 shades of smut. Well, there's that new book that came out that I was going to send him a cut, not a copy of the book, but just a link to this. Uh, it's it's the latest.

I wish I could remember the name of it, but it has something to do with a, a woman who gets a job jerking off bulls. Oh, it's a, it's a three season series on Netflix. The woman who jerks off bulls brought to you by Hollywood, big wig, Dana Brunetti, somebody in the, in the chat room, the troll room might, but it's an erotic, it's a form of erotic. And I guess it's disgusting.

It's it's, it must be a bestiality story of some sort, but whatever the case is, it is, I immediately thought it was cash in on this. Is the book called beef jerky by any chance? No, it's not called beef jerky. Wow. Like the minotaur and the lady or something. We are 15 years old. Welcome to the no agenda show. Those trolls are in the troll room and, and they're coming up with lots of, lots of titles for this book, which cannot be repeated on air.

Um, and they're listening at no agenda stream .com. Hopefully they're using one of the modern podcast apps so they don't get screwed out of the bat signal and listening live in the app when they want to. Or of course, when we publish you immediately get your notification within 90 seconds, you get chapter images, you get chapters, you get transcripts, all kinds of goodies that are included in the modern podcast apps. And you are not supporting AWS or the global corporate internet.

You're supporting independent software developers, you know, and, and you know what, get the extra features for $2.99 a month, help these guys out. They're doing good, doing good work. So as we just discussed, we're not going for eyeballs, data burn anything. So if you could, if your video goes viral, then more people will come and listen. Yeah, sure they will. They'll be listening to the clips. They'll never come listen to the show.

That's exactly how, that's exactly what, what Silicon Valley wants. Yeah. Put the clips on our platform so we can shove ads in their face and not give those guys anything. Because I don't watch Rogan so much as just watch his little clips that come and go. In fact, they have even Rogan memes. Same thing. Where Rogan says, Hey, look at this video. This is great. It's just some rando thing. It wasn't even on the show. Yeah. I said, Tina said, yeah, but just out of interest.

So do you listen to Megan Kelly's podcast? Yes, I do. Well, do you listen to it on, she uses fountain. Do you listen on fountain? No. Well, what do you mean? No, I just listened to a couple of clips on YouTube. It's the exact same thing. I mean, you're, you're letting Silicon Valley steal your audience. Now we don't have an audience. Luckily we have producers and I like, I like our life. We don't have to talk to Hollywood boys about ads or anything like that.

We don't, we don't have to be worried about the algos. He's the best way he comes, comes closest to being a suit. He's a total suit. He total suit. He's always been a suit. Yeah. He's a suit. Yeah. And then, and yeah. Great business. You have Brunetti. You got to go sue that your, your, your movie company every year for the money that he's paying you. Like, yeah. Well, at least he's getting his money. Well, but so are the lawyers. Now that whole, it's, it's a, it's a mess.

And what really do you get with ads? Like $2 CPM, please. No, I'm not interested in that. And the funny thing about the ads is to do inside baseball material here. When the first ads came, when the first web, uh, when the browsers came out and then people started doing websites, the early advertising, cause I was part of CNET. Yes, I remember.

And so when they first started doing advertising, they were getting, because nobody knew, you know, the advertisers are, we have to, I think you and I would agree that advertisers in general are, are, they're kind of nuts and dumb. And, uh, I guess we can say that cause we don't have any. Yeah. And the, and the ad buyers are the worst. There's they're, they're mostly girls just out of college and they don't know anything and they don't care.

And, uh, so the, so they were getting for banner ads, just a little banner on any page. And they had a number of them on each page, $100, a thousand was the CPM. $100 for a thousand views or clicks. Uh, it was, uh, views not clicks. Wow. So they had, so the CPM was 100, uh, and per thousand. And it was like, and it stayed that way for probably five years. Wow. It finally started to deteriorate.

Uh, when Leo first started doing his, uh, shows early on, this is 20 years ago when he first started doing podcasting, he was getting $75 a thousand and, uh, podcast ads. That was for Ford. Well, Ford gave him a bonus too. And so, uh, but those days are over now. I've heard as low as 75 cents from a hundred dollars. I mean, for banner ads is probably even lower than that, but for podcast advertising, you know, ever since podcasts decided to do DAI dynamic ad insertion, it's, it sucks.

It just sucks. You know, it's like, you got ads popping up in the middle of shows like mid it's a mid roll. It's a, it's an annoyance is what it is. I hate the product. Deny that, but it cuts into the guy in the middle of a guy's sentence. Yes, it does. It's not, you know, uh, it's rarely, it's not elegant the way it goes in. It's rarely elegantly timed as you put it. And who wants a post roll? No one listens to the end. No one listened to the end of our show either.

There's like five guys and a goat at the end, like, Oh, cool mixes, man. Nice tip. JCD. Yeah, it's true. Yeah. It's the same with YouTube. You know, and then how many views you got? Yeah. A view is three seconds. It's meaningless. It's all a scam. It's all a charade. All we're going to do on today's show, ladies and gentlemen, is complain. And, and this is what I like.

It's like, even if people are listening to three seconds of the show, when they send value back, that three seconds was clearly valuable to them. And I love that. I feel good. I go to bed. I go to sleep with a clear conscience, but I don't have to worry about, uh, getting de-platformed or someone, you know, like having a boycott, you know, because, because Vorak said something off color, you know, it was always, he's not safe for work clips. Oh, well, BMW can't advertise in a podcast like that.

We can't have that. No, no. I'd rather be poor than, than have that life. And we're not far from we're doing okay. We're hanging in there. It'll be 18 years on Sunday, John. How about that? That's something to celebrate. Well, let's hope everyone celebrates it. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Um, value for value. You already got the picture. Um, you can help us immensely by becoming a producer of the no agenda show.

If you're listening right now, you are by default, a producer, which means when we say, Hey, uh, how about this stupid jet fighter from Sweden? Someone will have to find, get somebody that knows what they're talking about telling us exactly what's going on with that. Exactly. When we talk about six, seven, six, seven. Did you get a lot of people emailing you about this? I did. As a matter of fact, was an interesting clip from some guy who is a, who is a, um, word Smith guy.

And he went on and on about some of these bull crap. I got zero interesting clips, but I did, I did like the most, the majority of our no agenda parents would send stuff like this, uh, Adam six, seven ended with 13 pushups right after the alpha daughters tried it. I like that. You got it. That's a good one. Yep. Uh, Adam and John says loose my two teenage boys and their friends starting to talk slang in my presence while laughing in my face.

I told them if they ever would talk like that again, while I'm in the room, they would, they would be their last chill session in my house. They know I mean it by the expression on my face. So they never did it again. See, this is how you deal with it. Um, let's see. About a month ago, I heard my kids and their friends start saying six, seven to each other. So it clearly wasn't just to piss off their parents. Although it clearly had that effect.

If other parents were around, as soon as they brought that crap into my house, I went on full offensive mode and said six, seven, so many times in one day that they never wanted to hear it again. And I haven't heard from them since I use the same tactic with like, well, my sweet kindergartner started with that. I like said, I like, like so many like times that like that immediately. And then I could just start saying like, and they hear how stupid it sounds.

I hope this helps the no agenda community, but then the most, then the most important one from Derek, I have a six year old in kindergarten in Columbus, Ohio. I had no idea what you were talking about on Sunday show. And lo and behold, Monday, she came six year old, she came home from school and all she would say was six, seven, six, seven. That is the simulations way of telling me it's time to donate. You guys are way ahead of it all as usual. That's true.

When you hear six, seven, it's time to donate to the no agenda show. Okay. That's a new donation level. 67. 67. And we will mention you by name specifically. If you donate six, seven, but before we do that, we need to thank our prompt jockeys who help us out with value for value by creating AI art for us. And a comic strip blogger who is always, always on no agenda, artgenerator.com usually with a, but this time it actually was kind of a cool piece. We both saw it. We liked it.

It was a no Kings protest, except there was a very prominent comic strip blogger. It wasn't a commissary blogger. No, I'm a strict blogger. Did the one that week the show before, Oh, well, this is a, this is a mistake on my part. I'm sorry. Well, he does always send, but, but images though. I was right. Yeah. Yeah. You can say that blue acorn. I'm sorry. It was blue acorn. I'm sorry. Blue acorn. I'll fix that. It was blue acorn. There you go. Blue acorn. And it was, it was a good piece.

We liked it. Did you see all the other images or the little signs in that, in that particular image? No, no, I didn't pay him. No. One says no assets. One says, Oh no. Yeah. I looked at all those signs. Afro agenda. This is AI is really bad. Well, sometimes needy in evenness, uh, arrow Gunas. It's like when you really start to pay attention to what the AI is writing on the other side. Can't write. It's horrible. It's really bad. It's like trying to write in a dream. I don't know about it.

I talked to Mimi about this because we, you know, I had this process of trying to wake myself up during dreams or at least realize I'm dreaming. So I think I'm going to have some fun in the dream. Although it usually wakes me up and uh, you know, you can have fun and grab a Uzi and start shooting down people. Um, this is what you do. And this is you. So let me just get this right. I can't, I can't pull it off. I can't do it. I've always thought about it.

You're trying to wake yourself up from the dream. No, no. I'm trying to realize that in the dream I'm in a dream. It's kind of like the inception movie where you, you know, you, it's a dream and you're in it and then you're in the dream and you know that this is a dream and then you can manipulate the dream. And you know, no wonder, no wonder Brunetti couldn't get through to you. You're talking to Mimi about this on the phone for hours about how to kill people in your dream.

One of the things, one of the things I, I, I know I woke my, my, my subconscious keeps telling me even though I'm starting to convince myself it's a dream. No, this is reality. Don't worry about it. And one of the things that I think everyone should, and I got to the point where I understand this problem because there's two things you can't do in a dream. One, you can't dial a phone. You mean rotary or on your smart phone? Oh no, a push button phone. You can't do it.

You think you can because it's just a phone with buttons and you'll just keep pushing the wrong numbers. And it's just like, oh, wait a minute. Let me start over. Let me start over. Then we start over. The other thing is you can't write in a dream. You try to write something and it just goes off the page. The A's don't, you don't, the letters don't show up and you can't write a number down. So give me your number.

And then you give them, somebody gives you a give five, seven, seven, and you put five, you get the five. And then this is like a, then the line drops off and you can't figure out why. And you should know in the dream, if you can't write and you can't punch the numbers in the phone, then you know, you're in a dream dream. Okay. I have not, I've, I've got that in my head. I try to do it. And my brain says, no, no, no, that though. You're having trouble writing.

I think you may have more trouble than just that with this conversation. You seem to be kind of weird. What? I mean, I think it's cool to try to know you're in a dream if you're in one. You sure you want having a stroke? Well, that's what you start to think when you can't write. That's a problem. Hey, um, there was a lot of art. Uh, none of which there was a lot of no Kings are blogger had the one with the Trump and the two horses. Yeah. That's what you're thinking. I thought that was funny.

It was funny, but the joke wasn't about Trump. It was about Gavin. I know, but, but it was still funny because of Trump's Trump also does a, a dance with his two hands. In fact, he does the dance better than Gavin. So Gavin's got, he just stickulates in a very odd way. There was a lot of, uh, ace freely stuff. I'm not going to, I'm not going to use a dead guy as artwork. That's no good. I don't want to do that. No, that's no good. And, uh, and again, everything's orange.

The whole page is orange. Everything looks so orange. It's just the orange, orange, orange. It's disappointing. You know, it doesn't take much to correct that. It's just color correction. It's not a big deal. And, uh, and now of course we have AI end of show mixer. So that'll probably also be just orange. It all starts to blend together and sound alike. And we'll be able to track the, the actual model collapse. Uh, but it, it doesn't seem like the country and Western stuff has already done gone.

It's so disappointing because it is, I mean, the country and Western stuff that we get out of AI is most of the stuff is just formulaic. It's like, there's nothing really interesting. I mean, have you listened to it? It's just like Taylor Swift. Yeah. Formulaic crap. Absolutely. And there's a place for that, but not on this show. We expect better from you. Another thing we'd like to do is thank our producers who support us with the final of the three T's time, talent, and treasure.

And that is of course the treasure. And, uh, what we do here in this little section is we thank the people who are fortunate enough to support us with $200 or more. And in that case, not only do we read your note, but we'll also give you an official Hollywood credit, associate executive producer. And if it's $300 or more, we will give you the title of executive producer. And we'll also read your note. And of course we launched a new, a new promotion, which is a dynamite one.

And, uh, I think I came up with it accidentally, uh, on a post-show conversation. This is the international peace prize. No, you didn't. I'm pretty sure I did. Well, we do have the international peace prize available. So tell us about this international peace prize. Well, this said no agenda show international peace prize. And we will, um, for a thousand dollars, you get a, uh, instant knighting, uh, executive producership and the international peace prize. And it has art.

It's presented in a vertical format with art on the left, just like the Nobel peace prize. And then the certificate on the right. And, uh, we'll see how it goes. But in addition to this, we are sending one to the president of the United States, to the vice president of the United States. Who else are we sending one to Mike Johnson? It's depends, but, but I think Whitcoff gets one. He should get one. And so should, uh, Kushner and BB. Doesn't BB get one for just, no, BB doesn't get one.

No, he gets, that'll be our next promotion will be a international criminal court. So I think an indictment would be good. Yeah. An official indictment. That is a funny one. So we start off, uh, with our first, uh, executive producer who comes in with $1 ,030 and 15 cents, which is nice. And he says, please find enclosed a check for $1,030 and 15 cents to boost my peerage status to Viscount of South Felton.

I guess this will also in this, I guess this also entitles me to claim the title of secretary general of South Felton. It does. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sir. Ken of pencil Tucky soon to be Viscount and secretary general of South Felton. And we thank you very much. And, uh, yes, your title will be changed. Now, hold on a second. What? What? Oh, that was okay. You're right. Yeah. I'm sorry. I cause next on the list is another note. There's not a note. This notice here.

Nevermind. I'm confused. You are sir. Boiled peanut in St. Petersburg, Florida came in next. So sir, Ken didn't ask for a jingle or anything. No. So as sir, boiled peanut came just under the wire here at $1,004 and 95 cents. Uh, he's now also a Viscount. That's where I got confused. Just health prayers and baby-making, uh, baby -making prayers. But he doesn't want no baby-making karma. So we're not giving it. No. And I, and I, when I spread, she came in, I took care of it for you.

So thank you very much, sir. Boiled peanut. You also are a number of Christians out there that do not like our karma. Yeah. That's why, that's why I would not insult him by giving a baby-making karma. Dr. Sir Otter. Well, he's a doctor. We know why. Lincoln, Nebraska, 51538. Dear Dr. Sir Otter of Flatwater here. Sorry for the late donation. Please make me secretary general of Ancapistan. Ancapistan. Okay. I'm not familiar with Ancapistan. I don't know what Ancapistan is.

But it shall be, it shall be done. You got it. Towers Comics in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canada. Not Saskatchewan, but Fort Saskatchewan, and not in Saskatchewan, but in Alberta. 51538, which is probably God knows what. Dub me secretary general. Well, he thinks it's at least a thousand dollars. He does. But he wants to be secretary general of the Republic of Alberta. Okay. That sounds like a winner. Can I hear the jingle Biden whole load? And can we get some baby-making karma, please?

Check out what at AltaHats.com for the limited edition hats and hoodies. AltaHats.com. Yeah. If you take a look at it, it's pretty cool because it shows a moose. It shows a moose, I think a buffalo. And then in the middle of the moose and the buffalo is a oil well, because of course we know that's where that's Alberta. Alberta is where all the oil is. And it's a big, and they have hoodies too. Made in Alberta. Republic. Oh, Republic of Alberta. Very good. We like that.

Very no agenda of you, sir. I'm going to give you the whole load today. You've got karma. Brandon Kiefer, Girard, Illinois, 500 bucks.

What are the, what are the, what are the radios these days? They, 15 bucks, I think like, yeah, they're nothing. They're giving them away. You can pop on the repeater and, uh, loads of fun. Uh, sir. Rick, uh, recoil, sir. Recoil in Franklin, Tennessee, three 50, 58.

This three, three, three donation is a shameless plug to the parents of middle Tennessee for exploring private schooling. Yes. Parents who are interested in an education where their human resources will learn to read clock, read and write in cursive and know what a don't, uh, what it doesn't mean. Uh, especially the Florida doesn't.

I encourage you to look into George Washington Academy, George Washington Academy in Franklin, Tennessee gives children a strong academic foundation, their class, uh, classical curriculum emphasizes, uh, reading, mastery, math skills, critical thinking, science history, while inspiring courage, perseverance, and kindness. The school is committed to affordability to help bring students where parents want their kids to learn.

GWA has been supportive as supportive classes in a safe, nurturing environment. The school fosters a proud community where parents are welcome. And this is a plug, by the way, I think so. And all the decisions are made based on the best interests of the children, but that's unusual. The school has year round calendar where they're currently G through five GWA would be a K through seven starting next year with, and they grow to complete K through 12 program.

Please contact admissions at GWA school.org. You should be able to get the edu. I think so too. To schedule a visit or go to GWA school.org. Thank you for the courage, sir.

Go to no agenda donations dot com. Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth. Let's play this clip. This is the China this, but, you know, they've been doing a purge in China of the generals. Oh, yes. Yeah. I didn't don't hear much about it, but I'm sure I don't talk about much. I'm sure that China haters at NTD had something to say. Oh, yeah. The NTD would be covering it to an extreme. But but listen to this. This is a wow clip. A wow clip.

Shun kun says that at least four more top generals are now under investigation, and many of those already purged were handpicked by Chinese leader Xi Jinping himself. Shun kun also says that two of those already expelled from the party last week are now dead. Hu Weidong, considered Xi Jinping's right hand man, was the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission. He reportedly died of a heart attack. And the other general loyal to Xi, Hu Hongjun, dying of suicide.

Beijing has not confirmed those deaths. And China's defense ministry says that the expulsions are part of an anti-corruption campaign started by Xi Jinping himself back in 2012. But now the sweep appears to be turning inward, targeting Xi's inner circle. The CCP is made up of different factions, with the Xi opposition faction working to undermine his power.

Now, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, one of those CCP officials in the Xi opposition faction, Li Chenggang, may have issued those rare earth export restrictions without Xi's knowledge. Oh, that is a wow clip. Huh. Interesting. So they're falling out of windows. They're committing suicide. They're dead, Jim. Wow. His old buddies. Wow. That's pretty good. So it's another series. They're short clips, except for one or two.

It's just because it's so unbelievable what Hollywood is doing to scare parents into vaccinating their kids. The last time we had the hit Emmy award-winning show, what was it called? The Drip, The Pit, The Pit, I think. The Pit. The Pit. And I don't think we have to play the Brady Bunch again to hear about how happy the little kid was that she had measles. She could stay home and she got ice cream and didn't have to, ooh, didn't want a needle.

And then Alice got the measles and it's happy music and everyone's jouncey jolly and it's okay, just got the measles. I remember having the measles. Did you ever have the measles? Oh, of course. Okay. How did you feel? Did you feel bad, run down? Well, I didn't like the spots all over and you had to stay in the dark. You forget about that part. You're not supposed to go out in the bright light. Why? What happens then? I don't know. It's something to your eyes or something. It hurts.

It's not good. When you have the measles, you're not supposed to be in the light. So now that RFK Jr. is on the scene, we've got too many people questioning vaccines. We don't just have a measles vaccine. We have the MMR. It's a trifecta, the measles, mump, rubella. By the way, if you want to give that to your kids, fine, go ahead. I have no problem with your personal choice. But I do have a problem with the hit show ER and the clip custodian. I mean, he did the last series of the pit as well.

I mean, it's really unbelievable. But ER is not a show anymore, is it? Is it not? I don't know. Not that I know of. It's an old dead show. It could be a dead show, but how dead is it? He clearly watched it. Well, I mean, that doesn't mean much nowadays with all these channels that play old TV. Yeah. Just let me do a little work on this. Yeah, you do the work and I'll play these clips because I don't know when this was from, but man, check it out.

Zach Woodman, four years old, status post-grand mal seizure at his preschool. We were just finishing arts and crafts and he started shaking and wet his pants. Your mother? No, his preschool teacher. Feels like he's burning up. BP's 100 over 60, pulse 120. Does he have a history of epilepsy? No, not that I know of. Zach, open your eyes. I think it ended in 2009.

Yep, 2009. So this was in the, oh, I can't, this is at least 15 years ago when I did, I did one of the clip shows that had a lot of this. There was a period of time and Law & Order had most of them. There was a period of time in the early part of our, of the No Agenda era, in the early years that we played these clips and it was, and I remember distinctly one of the lines was, oh, nope, had measles. And it was a Law & Order episode where somebody sued the mom because the kid had measles.

He went to school, they wouldn't get a shot, didn't get the measles shot. This is when the shot, I think when the shot, maybe when the shot first arrived, I'm not sure. And it was just all propaganda about how dangerous the measles was. And this was the first ep, the first showing of that, that, that party line, that, that narrative that measles was deadly. Well, in, in this series, they hadn't even ever seen measles, these doctors.

So. I've noticed this in the, I think in, there was, wasn't that also expressed in the pit? Yeah. The pit clip had the guy said, whoa, what's this? He's got, he's got spots on his face. Well, listen to this clip here. How's it going? Easy tap when they're unconscious. It looks pretty clear. Cute kid. What's his name? Zach. Cell count, glucose, protein, gram stain, and culture. He's got those shoes that lit up when you walked. How do you think they do that? Do you want to roll him back over?

What is that? What? That. You didn't tell me he had a macular rash. Wasn't there half an hour ago? It must be a viral exanthem. Could be measles. Measles. Fever, altered mental status, pneumonia. Or more likely he has a virus with pneumonia and had a febrile seizure from a high temperature. That is a classic measles rash. Can you hear me tongue depressor? Have you ever seen measles? No. You? Of course not. Nobody's seen measles. Really? He's got conflict spots in the buccal mucosa. What?

Or he bit the inside of his mouth when he was seizing. Malik, there's a Nelson's in the lounge. Can you go grab it please? Not now. Here it comes. Grab the mom. Grab the mom. Listen to this. Hey Zach, all right? This is Mrs. Woodman. I was in court. I have to turn off my cell when we're in session. Oh my god. I'm Dr. Chen. Your son had a seizure and a high temperature. We've done a spinal tap to rule out meningitis. Mrs. Woodman, are all Zach's immunizations up to date? No. Has he had the MMR?

He hasn't had any immunizations. None of our children have. Oh, boom. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? None of our children have. Boom. Spinal tap to rule out meningitis. Mrs. Woodman, are all Zach's immunizations up to date? No. Has he had the MMR? He hasn't had any immunizations. None of our children have. Abby, put a mask on Zach. What's the matter? What the hell is happening? Oh my god. Call the school. Don't let anybody leave. What's the matter with my son? Your son has measles.

That's not too bad, right? One in 500 kids die from measles. Well, I don't have to play the whole thing. The kid dies at the end. Spoiler. But this propaganda, that's even funnier to me that it hasn't been around for 15 years they've been psy-opping people with this nonsense. And then, put a mask on the kid. Nobody leaves. He's contaminated with measles. Well, everybody else obviously had the shot. Why would anybody be concerned in the least? Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Well, there's good news, though. By the way, that sounded a lot like COVID. Like, oh, it's COVID. Oh, don't leave. Put a mask on. Have you heard the latest? The latest research about the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. It can't be good. Oh, it's exactly good. I mean, where you, you, just non-science believer thought that possibly these shots could be related to a spike in turbo cancer. For the last 12 years, we've been working on personalized mRNA cancer vaccines.

Over this time, we made an absolutely fascinating discovery, which is even if the mRNA is completely non-specific to a patient's cancer, that mRNA could wake up the sleeping giant that is the immune system to fight cancer.

We discovered this in mouse models, and a brilliant graduate student who was working with us, who's now at MD Anderson, asked a brilliant question, which is, if non-specific mRNA vaccines can wake up the immune system against cancer, what happens to patients receiving the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine? What happens to those patients who are also receiving conventional immunotherapies? And the results were absolutely remarkable.

Patients with some of the most aggressive forms of skin and lung cancer had a near doubling in survival outcome if they received these COVID-19 mRNA vaccines within a hundred days of also receiving conventional immunotherapy. This is one of the most exciting observations I have seen in my 20-year career as a cancer researcher. I think the confirmatory work in a prospective trial is of the utmost importance and urgency.

The notion that we may be able to use a simple vaccine to awaken a patient's immune response to better fight their disease may totally change the way we think about treating cancer for the foreseeable future. Now, through the One Florida Consortium, we're working to prove these results definitively in a phase three randomized control trial.

And if proven to be true, this could revolutionize the field of cancer by allowing something like a universal cancer vaccine to be instantly available to patients around the globe to wake up their immune system and now keep it active with some of the conventional therapies available. Hey Bill, Bill, Bill, we got a problem with these mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. First of all, we got too many of them. People aren't taking them. We got to come up with something so people will want these things.

You got any ideas? Yeah, let's put a piano player in the background for starters. What the hell is that all about? It's soothing. It makes you feel good. Yeah, we'll just tell everybody that it actually cures cancer. Hey, that's great, Bill. Good job. I got another one for you. How can we profit off of all of these opioid addicted human resources? Let me think, Bill. Maybe if we sold them something that they could use instead of that, would that be one? Yeah, I got it. Let's call it sublocade.

We're already on buprenorphine. Sublocade is just one dose that lasts all month long with no complete detox required. Buprenorphine should be started after the first signs of withdrawal. Sublocade may cause harm or death if injected in a vein. As an opioid, it may cause serious life -threatening breathing problems. Ask about naloxone for opioid overdose. Get emergency help right away if you're faint, dizzy, sleepy, confused, have problems breathing, seeing, or talking, or if naloxone is given.

Don't take with other opioids, benzos, alcohol, or other drugs, including street drugs. This can cause severe drowsiness, decreased awareness, breathing problems, coma, and death. In emergencies, tell medical staff you're on sublocade for opioid dependence. This isn't a full list of risks and side effects. Talk to your doctor and read patient label for more information. I would love to hear from some of our producers, and I know some of them struggle with opioid addiction.

Have you tried the sublocade? This seems wrong to me. It's like, isn't this basically like the methadone bus or the, you know, morphine replacement? It doesn't seem like you're... I have no idea. I've never even heard of this until now. Buprenorphine. Buprenorphine. There you go. Buprenorphine. Extended release injection. But don't inject it into your vein, they say, because that could be bad. I know we have people struggling with addiction.

I'd like to know if you've tried it, if it helps, because it seems to me like these guys are just ghouls jumping on the bandwagon. Yeah, that's what I'm guessing. And then the final one, which I just, this is great, particularly because I live in a state where for some reason our governor will not follow the governors of other states like Florida and ban spraying stuff in the air. So many chemtrails.

The whole theory goes out the window of the government shutdown, no chemtrails, because there were a lot of chemtrails in the past few days. Just floating down to the ground. Oh, you actually saw droplets coming to the ground? You actually saw that from 30,000 feet, but it came down into the ground? It's not 30,000 feet, John. It literally floats down to the ground. It's not 30,000 feet. You're confused.

These are trails that form, you know, like a little wash of cloud and they just drift to the ground. Yes, I saw that in California when I lived there. These things float to the ground. That's why they're not vapor trails. Clearly. I don't know what's in them, but it's not a vapor trail. So yes, I did see that. And it's all over Texas. But now in the... See, this is when people understand that you are horrible and mean to me. This is exactly an example.

But the USDA has even better things now for your protection and your safety. There have been multiple reports of rabies around the metro Atlanta area just this year alone. And so the USDA says they're doing something. They're going to try to nip the problem in the bud right there at the source. So they're going to be dropping 700,000 oral pills that are supposed to target raccoons in our area. And what they'll do is it'll stop the spread of rabies by trying to build immunity in those raccoons.

So let's head over to a map that has been put on the USDA. They're dropping 700,000 rabies pills, dropping them from the sky. Website, this is something that you can actually... Bomb the area with rabies pills. Yes. So in other words, on your roof, you're going to hear a bunch of clinking. Well... And a bunch of pills are going to roll off the roof and there's going to be a little ring of pills that the dog can eat. Is that what you're saying here?

Yes. Yes. So let's head over to a map that has been put on the USDA's website. This is something that you can access right there at home. If you see the red here, that is where some of these pills have already been dropped. They're going to be coming from helicopters and airplanes flying over our areas. So red is where it's already been. Gray is where they still have to go. When is this going to happen? October 14th and October 15th. That's when helicopters will be dropping those pills.

And then again, on October 21st through October 28th, there are going to be some planes dropping the same pills. If they happen to land in your neighborhood, do not touch them. Do not move them. They're not there for you. They're there for the raccoons to make sure that you and your fur babies don't get infected. What could possibly go wrong? This is in Texas? No, this is Virginia. That was Virginia. Yeah, I think they're trying to, there's something else going on. This is bullcrap.

Well, yeah, it's not good. I don't think it's dropping a bunch of pills from the sky. And what's going to, what's it, what is a raccoon going to do? He sees these things say, hey, hey, Phil, what do you think about these little pills they've dropped all over the place? Are we supposed to eat these things? I wouldn't eat it. The raccoons. Will the raccoons eat everything they see? Uh, I guess. Well, there must be eating a lot of rocks. I don't know. I don't know. This doesn't sound right.

Uh, so you sent me a clip of, um, anti-immigration protests in Amsterdam. I'm very bummed out by what happened. Literally this morning, cause I, I saved it and like, okay. And I watched it and I was like, okay, I was going to get a couple of clips from it. I am watching the clip and all of a sudden, and I'm actually, I got about a minute and a half. I'm clipping this one bit and then poof, it says, I don't remember exactly what I said, but he said, this video is no longer available.

And I'm like, oh, that's interesting. Pulled the video right out from under the rug, right out of it. I'm irked by this cause I sent it to you. I could have clipped some stuff out of there and I should have, although it was mostly an hour long presentation of some of a, one of these independent journalists is showing all kinds of crazy stuff going on in Holland. And, but you did get to watch it before you started trying to clip it.

Yeah. Well, I actually, I actually got one clip, which will be worth it because it's a bunch of Dutch people. And this is what I've been saying. I was saying the Dutch are fed up with the, it's, it is legal migration because the, they caught the, they keep chanting about the, uh, ACZs, the Azeelzooker, A-Z-Cs, Azeelzooker Centrum. So it's the asylum seekers centers, which are placed all over the country. It's creating a huge mess. It's very similar to the UK with their migrant hotels.

It's all part of the same program, the same system. And now the Dutch, which as the video, uh, was titled hooligans, football hooligans. Well, there's a lot of just normal citizens who are mad about this and they're fed up. And here's what I was able to clip from it. What's happening to the Netherlands? The Netherlands is rising up against, uh, mass immigration, but, uh, our country is not safe anymore for our children. And that's why are we walking here? What crimes have you seen?

You say it's not safe anymore. Murder, uh, from Lisa to, uh, sexual abuse to a lot of other stuff. And we won't want that in our country. We want safety for our children. Is that in Amsterdam or across the Netherlands, would you say? Across the Netherlands. On August the 20th, a 17 year old Dutch girl named Lisa was stabbed to death while cycling home to a village just outside Amsterdam after a night out. Police later arrested a 22 year old man who came into the country illegally with no ID.

People that come here, they commit more crimes, do you believe? If you look a few years ago in was all normal. Now, if you go to Paris, all scammers, all, uh, immigration or guys, and they come to the Netherlands from Paris, they don't need a passport. They want money here. And then they go back. You accept our norms, our values, our laws. Then there's not never be a problem. Do you think the Netherlands needs to start deporting people who commit crimes? Not from this country?

We are not doing that here. I think that from Africa, only criminals are coming here. So you don't think they send their best? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So extremism is being sponsored. Yeah. Without enemy, no hero. You can think about it. So you guys are the heroes? When you come up for your own, you're always a hero. You have to protect your own and then your neighbor. Yeah. No, this is a, this is a big movement, but there's a couple of things I wanted to point out.

One, they also interviewed a bunch of side people on the side who were against them against the protest. I was at that part where it went, when the video became unavailable and those are the same. And they were, they represented the same people that hate Trump. They were the same kind of lefties. Oh, the migrants are good for the diversity of the country. They're not doing anything wrong. They're here legally. It's a shame that this is happening to them and I don't see a problem.

And there's that group and they're Dutch. And then there's also the question I had about the orange flag, which it seems to me that would be the flag they'd have because the orange is a big color there. It's like the orange is their color. And so there's an orange, white, and blue flag. And then there's the red, white, and blue flag, which is the official flag. But the orange flag, they're saying, look at these guys are carrying the orange.

It reminds me of that British flag, the cross, the red cross on the white background. Yeah. The what's it called? The UK, Britain flag. The old school flag. Yes. The old flag and not the UK flag, but Britain. And so they had people saying that's a Nazi flag. And it also, a lot of them had a V and they had two little circles over the legs of the V. I didn't see that part. I didn't see that. That was there. And they say, well, that's a flag.

The orange flag is the one that the Nazis flew during their occupation. And so there's a bunch of fascists. These are fascists and we need to stop them. Well, orange is because of the house of orange, because the Dutch royal family is orange and that is still seen as patriotic. But considering the North Sea Nexus, I would question that. I'm bummed. I'm bummed that I couldn't see the rest of that video. It was an hour long. I was excited about getting good clips from it.

But this is bubbling up everywhere in the EU. People are sick and tired of it. They're sick and tired of the freedom of movement of these immigrants. Like you heard, hey, they're in Paris, the scammers, they come down here, they scam us, they go back up, they go back down to Paris, all over the place. And so Queen Ursula had to make mention of this. And these people come into the country legally. That is true. They're not illegal immigrants. They are asylum seekers. Here's the difference.

That's what they tried here. Asylum. I have asylum. No, you want asylum? You have to go through the actual approved port. Yeah, but I got asylum. The minute I put my feet in American soil, I have asylum. Nope. And everything else is not illegal immigration. It's irregular immigration. Yes. The number of irregular arrivals continues to decline. That is good. That's good. Policies are working. But there is a sense of frustration among Europeans.

The accumulated pressure over the years has put a strain on member states resources. And I want to be very clear that our rules are also very clear. Legal migration is welcome and we will need more of it. We need more of it. Do you hear what she's saying? Legal migration, which is the asylum seekers is welcome. And we will need more of it because we're going to kill you people who live in Europe. We're bringing in a whole new replacement. This is just what she's saying. Very clear.

Legal migration is welcome and we will need more of it. But illegal migration is not. And we cannot tolerate the smugglers and traffickers working against our rules. And there is a feeling. There is a feeling that our rules are not always enforced. So we all must to do something against this. Yes, we all must to do something. We much for this be committed. No, they're not going to stop anything. Anything. And I know that my friends in Holland, they applaud President Trump.

They're like, hey, man, it looks like a mess, but I think it's good what he's doing. That's what you voted for. Unfortunately, we didn't really vote for more expensive knockoff handbags and Rolexes. Tonight, an immigration crackdown in New York City as federal agents descended on Canal Street, famous for its bargain shopping and knockoff designer goods and parts of Chinatown.

The raid, part of an operation targeting illegal street vending, the scene turning chaotic as agents made arrests and pushed back the crowd. And it's gotten a little hairy at points with people running, people falling down in the street and federal agents running after them. The traffic coming to a standstill at the start of rush hour with cars trapped between law enforcement officers.

The people selling those knockoff goods are often migrants, which means that federal investigations here might include a component of immigration enforcement. It comes amid heavy federal presence in cities across the country from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, where today Homeland Security officials say a U.S. marshal and a suspected undocumented immigrant with a criminal record were both shot and wounded during a targeted traffic stop. This is 20th and Trinity.

Looks like they wedged the vehicle. Shots were fired. We see the windows were blown out. DHS officials say agents used a standard pit maneuver to detain the suspect who had escaped custody in the past. They say this time when the man rammed a federal vehicle trying to evade arrest, officers opened fire, hitting him in the elbow. A bullet ricocheting into the hand of the U.S. marshal. Both men were hospitalized. The suspect, a TikToker known as Richard L

.A. 18, is an influencer known for capturing video of these ice operations in L.A., even recognized by the city of L.A. for his contributions to the community. Last week, this dramatic Border Patrol chase of a suspect through a Chicago neighborhood ended with a pit maneuver, the operation sparking anti ice clashes between protesters and federal agents. A federal judge in Chicago concerned about aggressive tactics, restricting the use of tear gas and ordering agents to wear body cameras.

That's pretty brazen, man. The TikToker is just here illegally, and then the city of L.A. is like... Gave him an award. Good man. Probably got a YouTube award, too. Hang on your wall. Here you go. Good work. Interestingly, according to CNN, this has not hurt the president's polling, for what it's worth. You know, we speak about Donald Trump shutdown, net approval rate, and we're talking 20 days into it. This is the shutdown, I guess.

2018-2019, Donald Trump's net approval rating was already falling. The shutdown was eating into his popular support. It was down three points already at this particular point, and would fall considerably more. It was very much on the decline. You come over to this side of the screen, this shutdown hasn't eaten into Donald Trump's support at all. His net approval rating is actually up a point in terms of his popular support. So the bottom line is this.

The first shutdown during Trump's first term, 2018 -2019, was hurting Donald Trump. This one is not hurting him at all. There's no real reason Donald Trump might say, at least when it comes to popular support, I want to get out of this shutdown. Yeah, it was about the shutdown. Sorry. I thought it was about immigration. Doesn't matter. Polling is up. Everybody loves him. Polling is up. Polling is down. It's polling. It's polling. Of course it is. It's polling. We love it.

I have a couple of screwball clips. The Gaza dead body swap clip is one of my favorites here. You know, they're swapping... Corpses. I know. Israel and Hamas are exchanging the remains of dead bodies. The two sides are doing so as part of President Trump's ceasefire plan for Gaza. And PR's Anas Baba reports from Gaza, where 54 of the bodies handed over by Israel were buried today without identification or closure for families.

Unlike the remains of Israeli hostages identified using DNA and medical records, the Palestinian corpses arrived with no names and no identifying data. Gaza's whole system, including labs, has been decimated by war. Dr. Munir Al-Borsh, head of Gaza's hospital, says many bodies showed signs of being crushed by tanks, skulls shattered, chests flattened. I want to drink your blood. Israeli authorities have not responded to requests for comment. I'm glad we got that clip in.

You put so much effort into it. Actually, so Secretary... How does a guy like that get a job on NPR? So Secretary Rubio is in Israel today. He's mad. He's mad. Because the Israelis, they're doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. They're annexing more land. This was not the deal. Departing Washington for Israel, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave a stark warning. An Israeli annexation of the West Bank would threaten President Donald Trump's Gaza deal.

His comments came after the Israeli parliament voted Wednesday to advance two annexation bills. According to Jerusalem Post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had requested that the discussion be postponed. The proposals, pushed by far-right ministers, would extend Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank. The first bill would annex Maale Adumim, a large settlement of 40,000 east of Jerusalem. The second would annex the entire West Bank.

Hamas and several Arab states quickly condemned Wednesday's vote. The kingdom stresses its complete rejection of all settlement and expansionist violations perpetrated by the Israeli occupation authorities. Marco Rubio's trip to Israel comes as J .D. Vance is currently visiting the country. The U.S. Vice President expressed cautious optimism about keeping the peace on track. But the Knesset's vote, along with accusations of truce violations, raises concerns over an already fragile ceasefire.

The two bills will now move forward for further readings in parliament. Eh, dummies. Why did they do this? It's not helping anything. I think Netanyahu is still irked. He's against it. He said he didn't want this. Well... According to the report, whatever. You don't know. You don't know. The way they do this stuff. But have you noticed a sharp decline in anti-Israel sentiment in the podcast sphere?

I... Well, since I'm not the podcast expert that you are, I haven't noticed this, but it doesn't surprise me. I will mention, by the way, going back to that Dutch video that got taken down, there was an awful lot of Dutch, again, people hanging Palestinian flags during this protest and throwing eggs at the protesters. Throwing eggs at the protesters, yeah. Oh yeah, I noticed that. But we also haven't seen a lot of from the river to the sea protest. That seems to have died down.

In fact, I thought you would be rather upset about Candace Owen taking a break. I didn't know anything about this. She's taken a break. Why would I be upset? I don't clip her. You love Candace Owens. You're a fan. She's like the Rihanna of podcasting. I thought you would love her. I am not a fan of Candace Owens. I tried to get her to do an interview years ago and she wouldn't do anything. She would stiffed us.

The vibes I get is that this is another example of, let's use a black woman to front run everything for us, and then we'll just drop her when we don't need her anymore, with her whole extended family of British royalty and barony, et cetera. She's taking a break. I have it on good authority that the husband of hers is a farmer guy. Yeah. And this is from somebody in DC. And he's been, he hits on, he hits on the men. Oh, you had this on good authority. And it's on good authority.

So he's hitting for the other team behind her back is what you're saying. Well, he could be a switch hitter. And so here she is taking a break, announcing her break. He has to be a switch hitter, by the way. She's got four kids, you know, they've been married for like two years. Yeah. And she's cranked out four babies. Are you sure? I thought she only had two. No, I think it was. Let's look it up. She's got at least three. I think it's four up to four.

Well, she leaves with a parting blow towards Israel and somewhat towards President Trump as she takes her break. I just really needed to just take a breather and really process everything that happened with Charlie and what it kind of means in terms of where we are. And I think it is a circumstance where we all we just know we just know that he was truly betrayed in one of the most egregious ways that I think I've ever seen. It has made me lose faith in politics.

It has made me fully lose faith in Trump. And I just like I just my heart aches for the fact that he gave so much of his life to Trump and to politics. And they just were like, nope, that is it. It serves us or doesn't serve us and we want to move on. And so here's a holiday. Bro, if they try to give me a holiday, what is with them giving people a holiday after they kill them? Why is that a thing? You know what I mean? Like, oh, Martin Luther King. What about this holiday?

What about this boulevard? Anyways, let me know. They're going to give Charlie Kirk a boulevard. They already did. They did in Israel. They gave him freaking bullets. It's like as soon as they give you a boulevard and a holiday, they definitely killed you. There's no question. They killed you. There's no way. That's like their signature thing. It's like that's what they do. It's the it's the Fed signature. It's currently sign off after they murder you. So like holiday in a boulevard.

And it's never on the nice side of town either. Like Charlie Kirk Boulevard is not gonna be a nice item. Anyways, I will be back on the 27th. You guys, thank you guys for all the support throughout these couple of weeks. These last really kind of six weeks since Charlie died. And we will see you guys then. So there it is. Four kids in she's been married longer than two years, I presume. Well, well, I guess maybe three. She's been nonstop cranking out kids when she married that guy.

Yeah. Well, I don't know that now she needs to take a break. And why would she take that? It makes no sense because she doesn't want to have a holiday or or a boulevard named after her. She feels she's that's what she thinks she's going to get. She's a target. Yes, exactly. Because, you know, she's speaking truth. And by the way, was it was I right when we when you you you brought the Tucker Carlson clips, you brought the clips. I said, bad idea supply.

And lo and behold, the complaints rolled in. You're just jealous of his success. I think we said the opposite. I said, I'm glad I don't have to do this. It's it's baffling. People do not like it when you when you deconstruct media in the podcast realm. Then you're shooting inside the tent. You're no good. You're a problem. You're jealous. You know, it doesn't make much sense because Tucker Carlson has always been a mainstream guy anyway.

Now she's he's the headliner at the Charlie Kirk events out of the blue. No, they don't have events right now, do they? They just had a big giant event at the University of Indiana. Huge. And then the headliner was Tucker. Doing the Charlie Kirk back and forth. And even though it's in his style, which is very not Charlie Kirk. Wait a minute. Is this the one where he moaned about Bitcoin again? I don't know if that was if he did or not. This is just recent, like a couple of days ago.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on a second. I have it here. So I thought this was old. Someone sent this to me. I thought this was a really old one. Hold on a second. No, he's just he's booked for the next event, Charlie Kirk event. He's going to be the headliner. I think this is co-option. I think he's. Yeah. Where was it? Where was the? I think it was the University of Indiana. That's what I remember. Well, I thought this was old, but the expo says this just in.

So that's why I'm thinking maybe you're right. And here he is. And nobody can explain to me who Satoshi was. The creator of Bitcoin. This mysterious guy who apparently died, but nobody knows who he was. You know, I grew up in D.C. primarily in a government family. So CIA, that's my guess. Can't prove it. But like you're telling me to invest in something whose founder is like mysterious and has billions of dollars of unused Bitcoin. Like, what is that?

And no one can answer the question, including some of the biggest holders of Bitcoin in the world. Do I know personally? They're like, oh, it doesn't matter. What matters to me. Right. And nobody. Yeah. So he thinks Bitcoin was created by the CIA. I think this is co-option. I think he's co-opted the this is what happened to the Tea Party, if you recall. The Tea Party was which was really a Ron Paul thing.

And then a true grassroots was taken over by some old Republicans, old rhino type Republicans kind of took it over and co-opted it and ruined it. Yeah, it's true. And this is, I think, is what's happening here. You thought it was going to be Kirk's wife, but I think she's not that bright. And she's probably would give in to the father figure of Tucker. And I think Tucker's going to take the thing over and then drive it off a cliff. Well, you heard it here first. We'll keep our eye on it.

That may not be a very bad theory at all. I can't disagree with it. And John C. Dvorak, who can disagree with you helping us list off the rest of our supporters, $50 and above for episode 1810, just days before our 18th anniversary. Yeah, everybody should make note the 18th anniversary can use some support. Now, the first person here, $118 is someone from Amsterdam, and I would pronounce it Kiel. Let me take a look. Kiel, Kiel. It's a C-A, Kiel. Kiel. Yes, yes. Kiel.

Dame Rita in Sparks, Nevada, $110.23. She's back. Good. Dame Early Turtle in Topeka, Kansas, $103.33. Dame Early Turtle? That's what her name is, is the Early Turtle. Early Turtle.

Kevin McLaughlin, there he is. He sent a note in saying he never got the newsletter. A lot of people didn't get the newsletter.

We had a very shortfall in the newsletter because there was something in the newsletter that got banned. Oh, no. I got to find a... Calacanis tells me to get to a different... Calacanis is talking to you? Yeah, he talks to me. No, he used to talk to me, but he doesn't talk to me anymore. He's just telling me what I'm doing wrong. Oh, okay. Well, that's talking. That's Jason talking. Yeah, that's Jason. And the main thing he's telling me is to get off MailChimp.

Yeah, a lot of people tell me get off MailChimp. Yeah, well... 8008 from Kevin McLaughlin. He's the Archduke of Luna. He says, BSA, big and small, saved them all. Breast cancer awareness. Oh, I didn't know that. I don't know it either. John Tomczak in Royal Oak, Michigan, 7878. North Nexus. North C Nexus donation. 7878. Okay, we'll make it that. Dame Ellen in Montgomery, Alabama, 7777. This is a happy birthday to my illustrious brother.

Sir Duggett up at the sharp shovel who turned seven squared on Tuesday. 49, yes. She needs a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Brian Kaufman in Scottsdale, 7575.

Chad Hewitt in Folsom, California, 6440, which is 66 boobs and 46 books. I'm sorry. Yes, 66 books, 40 authors. Yeah, I thought it said 66 boobs. Hardly.

And 40 authors, which would be the same thing. No. Matthew Janik in Novi, Michigan, 6581. You don't know enough authors. Matthew Elroy. Matthew Janik needs a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Matthew Elroy. Wait, wait, wait. This is an important donation amount, 6581. The amount is a petition to include 1981 in Generation X since we became adults in the 1900s. Hmm. I'm not even officially anymore in Gen X, so I can't make a ruling on that.

Sorry, Matthew. Another Matthew, coincidentally, Elwhart in Weatherford, Texas, 6006, small boobs. Matt B. in, I guess it's, I don't know what the, where is it? I would say Asley. Asley, Texas, 6006.

Has a very, has a very nasty note. Problem is, you two need an editor.

I have to sit through the seventh grade humor and Adam's mocking voices. Give us all a break and do what you do best, media analysis. Too much wasted time. Who's mocking voices now? Yeah, but I don't have that one voice that you have, which is a classic. It's a classic. It's a good one. Frank, we have to stop. You know what? I think this guy, James Springer in Ann Arbor, Michigan at 5555 donation is right. We're wasting time. We waste a lot of time and we spend way too much time mocking people.

Yes. And we should probably cut it out and be much more mature. Okay, you go first. James Cepeda, Cepeda, I think in Carpenterville, Illinois, 5291. That's serious. Sean Murphy in South Lyon, Michigan, 5272. Bob Newell in Penfield, Pennsylvania, 5250. Happy 18th anniversary. He's ahead of the group. And that came in as a check. Forrest Martin, 5005.

♪ Sometimes you wanna go hang out ♪ ♪ With all the nights and days ♪ ♪ You wanna be where you want to be ♪ ♪ Triggered or held to blame ♪ ♪ You wanna be where everybody feels the same ♪ ♪ It's like that ♪ As we wind down the show, we still have three, three wonderful end of show mixes to come, and these will be published this time. We'll be putting them into the Clips archive and of course, crediting the end of show mixers as always.

Before that, we have John's tip of the day and ISO time now, which is the last clip we pay on the show at the very end. John, you have two IC. Would you like to go first? Why don't you go first? That way I can defer. That's showbiz, baby. I kind of like that one myself. And then always going back to the classic archive. Ooh, people really love that. He's the master. He's the master, I tell you. We just did one of him. He's the master. Okay, so I got Trump. Oh, that's music to my ears.

I love that sound. Sound of money. Yeah. What was the sound of the show? Yeah. Then I have our buddy. This is Kennedy. Well, pickle my bunions. That's what I call a good show. Oh man, why did you cut it off? That was it. It doesn't end nicely. Well, pickle my bunions. That's what I call a good show. It's not a great edit. Who edited that? Did you edit that? It's the way he talks. No. I know you like the more religious style where you go show-a. Yeah, show-a. Exactly. Show-a. That's okay.

I'll accept it. Bunions it is. But first, before we do anything, it is time for John C. Dvorak's tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just a tip with JCD and sometimes Adam. All right. Here's a drinking tip. We all need one of those. So there's a product out there. Jim Beam has bought up most of the distilleries, a lot of these big brands. And they're putting them out again in new labels. And they're trying to beef up the line of what's called the olds. The big trend, the olds.

The olds, like vintage olds? Well, olds like old granddad, old hole overhaul, old crow. And so I'm bringing in this one that just came out called Crow 86, which is a bourbon. And it's $11.90. So it's a cheap bourbon. And it is excellent for just one. And the label is dynamite because it just says Crow, big letters, Crow 86. And you can get it almost.

I mean, this is one of the problem I have with what Beam is doing is that they brought out something called Old Crow Reserve about six months ago, which was a stunner. And I was going to mention it, but then they took it off. It was just one month and they took it off the market. So if you see Old Crow Reserve, get that. But Crow 86 is quite good for the 11 bucks. This is a cheap bourbon. Another cheap alcohol. I'm trying to keep the price down for people so they can give us better donations.

So it's just a practical thing. Now, I want to mention something. So I'm watching some of these characters that are doing it. This is for people. You ever want to professionally or look like you maybe know how to taste professionally? Because I got scolded for making the same mistake that I'm going to describe. When you're tasting in a competition with professionals. Now, is this for wine or anything? This I'm going to make the jump. It's for spirits. Spirits.

It's harder to do the spirits than it is the wine. But with wine, you'll see when you're tasting professionally with wine tasters at all pros, they're swirling and swirling the glass. And you get, you know, you see it at the restaurants, the guys swirling the glass and a lot of them slurp, make a slurping sound, which is kind of gauche, but they do it. Gauche. It's gauche. Slurp the wine so you get it aerated in your mouth. So with spirits, I did this because I had, I was in one of the.

Yeah, you're a spirit swiller. I was, I swirled and I just got the glares. These are professionals that are in the industry, in the distilling business. A lot of people from Scotland and elsewhere. And you do not swirl when you're professionally tasting a spirit. You don't swirl spirits. If you do, you're an idiot. And so when you swirl spirits, what happens is it just brings up straight alcohol. You don't really get to smell what's going on with the product. You get hammered.

You don't get hammered. You spit the stuff out anyway. The point is, is that you don't, you can't evaluate properly if you're swirling and swirling spirits because that's what you do with wine. So I'm watching some of these videos of these guys tasting the Crow 86. And there's two guys that seem very knowledgeable about all the details of the flavors, but they're both got the little glasses and they're swirling away like crazy. Stop it. So stop swirling your spirits. Well, there you go.

Find them all at tipoftheday.net. John's tip of the day. I think that is a good tip. Stop swirling your spirits, people. You're making yourself look dumb. Is that basically the message? Yes. Yes, that's the message. Exactly. So I have no idea what is next on the no agenda stream. It seems to be a mystery today, but something will pop up. Something always does. But end of show mixes from Bonald Crabtree, Scary Trout, and MVP. Remember, we are now accepting AI end of show mixes.

We will be publishing them since there's no copyrights, no PROs or element OPs or whatever. So you can download them to your heart's extent. Play them wherever you want to. Play them on your podcast.
