1827 - "CIS-Lunar"

The really moon bases. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, December 21st, 2025. This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1827. This is no agenda. Fully redacted and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley where the weather is inclement, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning! Yes, inclement weather, inclement weather.

Does that mean it's kind of grey? It's wet. Wet and grey. Beautiful here today. 68 degrees, blue sky, no chemtrails. Just perfect. Just perfect. Perfect for a day of media deconstruction. Sounds like it. Oh, man. So much to talk about. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. Oh, no, Epstein. Oh, but Epstein. Is anyone really surprised that there was nothing there? Why are people so mad? Because they...

Well, I have a couple of reports and the thing's obvious that... that the only reason they wanted Epstein stuff... In fact, this was, I think, from the BBC. Epstein. If you listen to the report from the... Actually, PBS. Listen to the report. PBS won this clip. You can tell why... The only reason for the whole inquisition about the Epstein files is revealed right here.

Overnight, the Justice Department released hundreds more heavily redacted pages of material it had gathered on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Still, what's been made public so far falls well short of the full disclosure required by the law Congress passed last month. These new releases come in addition to the thousands of pages of photos, correspondence, and other material released on Friday afternoon, and the Justice Department says there will be much more to come in the coming weeks.

Among the latest batch released around midnight is a phone message slip that reads, She has females for Mr. J.E. Jeff Mason is a White House correspondent for Reuters. Jeff, these new files, the files even though were released yesterday, tell us a lot about, more detail about Jeffrey Epstein. But does it tell us anything about his relationship with Donald Trump, with President Trump? Get to it, get to it, get to it. I have a couple of...

There's two more clips, but before we play that, did you see Clinton's response to this when he was interviewed on one of the shows? No, I didn't. Yeah, here's Clinton on Epstein. Listen to this. Democrats thought they could finally get Trump with the Epstein files. But instead, all they got was pictures of you buck naked in the jacuzzi with some girls. Aren't you afraid of being arrested? Well, to be honest, I'm more afraid of that crazy bitch waiting for me back home. I'm not going back.

That bitch kills people. She even killed Jeffrey. Fuck that. Can I stay at your place? Okay, let's just slow down a bit. Okay, all right. Even that AI stuff is getting a little old, and it wasn't all that good. No, I agree, it wasn't that good, but I thought I'd slip it in. By the way, he wasn't buck naked, he was wearing swimming trunks. You can obviously see them. Yeah, I'm glad you corrected the AI on that.

Yeah, well, wherever you rip that off of, whatever hilarious podcast that put that together and slaved over it. Okay, back to PBS and Trump. Very little, and that's one thing that people were maybe anticipating getting more information on, but the files have some mentions of Trump and some conversations, but no photos. One of the pieces of evidence that people were expecting was not in the release.

And in general, the files were focused on other people in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit and not the current president of the United States. Even with that, this is now going to be spread out over several weeks. It's not going to be a one-day story, one-day headline. Does the White House have a strategy to deal with that? Well, their strategy so far has been largely to say, A, that they are being very transparent by doing this document release and following the law.

A statement from a White House spokeswoman yesterday pretty much said just that and accused Democrats of not answering questions about their connections with Jeffrey Epstein. I think broadly, the White House would be happy for this whole issue to go away, and that is evidenced by the fact that President Trump spent months trying to prevent these documents from coming out. That led to a lot of discord within his MAGA base and led to some divisions within Congress amongst Republicans.

In the end, they ended up passing this law and the president signed it. But some Democrats and, in fact, at least one Republican are saying that the administration did not follow the law with its limited release on Friday. Oh, brother. Don't they understand how this works by now? Like, of course you don't put everything out. You give them the first stuff, everyone's disappointed, following the law, victims are protected. What's a victim? Not defined. Anybody can be a victim.

And they put Copperfield in there, they got all the people they wanted, Luke Brunel, Jean -Luc Brunel. It's like, what were you expecting? An entire trove of pictures of these dudes having sex with kids? I want to see the videotapes. I don't care what you say. There's victims in those videotapes. You can't show that. Now, I think I know what's going on here, but I'll wait until you're finished with your series. Well, let's just play clip three and then what? Then, then.

Well, one of those Republicans is the co -sponsor, Representative Thomas Massey of Kentucky. He tweeted today that the release grossly fails to comply with the law. What can they do? Can they go to court and sue over this? Well, that's a good question. I don't know if that's something that they're thinking of doing.

Certainly, I do know because this is what the Justice Department has said, is that they're planning to release more, but they are saying that there are so many things that have to go through that they just couldn't basically do it all in one batch, but that there will be multiple additional batches coming. But as you say, even the co-sponsor of the bill on the Republican side, Congressman Massey is upset about that.

And also, these documents are so heavily redacted, there are some pages that are just totally black from being blacked out, inked out. Is anybody talking about that or complaining about that? Yes, there are concerns about that. I think in one case, there were 100 pages of grand jury testimony that were redacted. Now, the law allows the Justice Department to release some of the files with redactions in specific instances with regard to victims of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, with regard to abuse.

But the amount of the redactions surprised people who were expecting to get more information than they felt they received. And the law actually says they can't redact to protect the reputation of anybody. Do we have any idea when these additional files are going to be released in the future? All we know is that they'll be coming out in batches in the coming weeks. So I would expect that journalists like ourselves will be watching this story over the holidays and probably well past that.

And some of the questions that people were hoping to get answered in this first batch are the ones that will continue to be asked in terms of connections that other people had and knowledge that other people had of Jeffrey Epstein and his crimes. Batches, batches, lots of batches. I mean, this was the obvious result to be expected, but they're going a little bit further. Let's just troll everybody a little bit more. Oh, no, no. We'll take that one down. Oh, no. 16 are gone. What's going on?

They were all Trump. Tonight, questions for the Department of Justice around their initial release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. More than a dozen photos that were available on the DOJ site Friday and disappeared without explanation, including a photo of President Donald Trump with a few examples of Trump appearing in the document's release. NBC News has asked DOJ why the files were deleted and have not heard back.

It comes as the Department of Justice released never-before-seen grand jury testimony, including from a witness who described how Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, lured her into their orbit. The unnamed victim recalling a situation in 2005 where at the age of 14, Epstein convinced her to give him a massage for $200. $200! The massage quickly turned sexual, and she was told, quote, the more you do, the more you make.

Stories like this, a reminder of the horror of Epstein's crimes for the survivors demanding transparency. Some saying, at this point, they feel like it's not enough. It failed in our book. We haven't received full transparency. It's heavily redacted, and it's an incomplete release of the files. Some Republicans, Democrats, and survivors are warning the DOJ that they're not living up to the law passed almost unanimously by Congress.

The department says they'll release all the files within the next two weeks. An NBC News analysis of the material shows

that in the first release, more than 680 pages have been redacted. So no surprise at all that we saw heavy redactions from DOJ because they had a lot of editorial discretion in this case. But Congress believes they deserve an explanation and plan to keep the pressure on the DOJ to make sure everything that should be made public is. I do think there's more here, and it's worth more investigations to get to the bottom of this and put this to rest and respect the victims.

No. Massey and Ro-corana, what do we call them? Ro-cana. Corana. Ro-corana. That's even better. Corana. They wrote this law. I mean, if you look at the law, this was the obvious result that was going to take place. I don't know if they're in on the gag here. By the way, they're not batches. I'm surprised that PBS doesn't know what they're actually called. They did dumps. They call them dumps. Big, massive dumps. Dumps. Not batches. Dumps, you dummies. So a couple of things about the law.

If you don't write the law with enforcement... Like penalties. Within the law. Penalties and enforcement, like creating an agency to enforce the law or a group or somebody. Nothing's going to happen. Nothing's going to happen. So it should have had an enforcement clause. This has to be enforced in such a way by such and such a person. And the penalties for not following the law would be 15 years in prison and blah, blah, blah, whatever. They didn't put that in there.

If that's not in there, what's the point? Well, the point was is to do exactly what's happening now. We need to continue. This has to keep going for, I don't know, maybe we could keep it going for another six months. Get it a little closer to the midterms. Then roll out the last batch. Dump, dump, massive dump. I'm convinced that Mike Benz, this some form of limited hangout, I know I said it, and maybe not knowingly, but he did a five-hour, what he calls a super stream.

I'm doing a super stream, everybody. Have you ever seen that guy? I have seen him, yes. I mentioned him somewhere, and I got condemned for mentioning him. By whom? Somebody who condemned me, I don't know. Oh, a condemner. Well, that's no good. And here's the way Mike Benz, I've solved it. Okay, I'll watch your super stream then, which I did. And I think he got the right information, and he's on the right track.

His thesis, which he can back up with quite a lot of, at least evidence that puts Epstein in the right place at the right time, is that he was much more of like a strategic middleman. And he was doing this back in the day. Well, a little bit, yeah, probably back in the day.

We had BCCI. Now, I don't know if everybody remembers the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, BCCI, which had this spectacular collapse, as it turned out, that what this bank was, besides it being pretty much a Ponzi scheme, what they were doing is they were laundering money for intelligence agencies, certainly for the CIA, MI6. I think, I don't know, was Mossad in there as well? Everybody. I don't remember if Mossad was involved.

There was a great movie about it called, was it The Internationalist? It was called The International. Oh, The International. There you go, The International. And so if you needed to arm the movie. It's a great movie, by the way. It's a fun movie. It's a great movie to watch, and it's based on facts, truth, real story. Real story. Kind of. Okay. So if you wanted to arm the Mujahideen, then you'd send the money through BCCI, and BCCI would take care of everything.

Now, on the U.S. side, for our intelligence agencies, in order to move some of that money around, we had Bear Stearns. This is where Jeffrey Epstein all of a sudden becomes the rising star. Doesn't matter how much he steals from his expense account. He's a protected man within the bank, and he's moving money around. This was his talent. His talent was making all the connections, making sure everything worked, getting the money in, moving it around.

Eventually, he moves out to Epstein Island, not for privacy, for his little sexcapades. And by the way, he was sick. He definitely, he was into all this stuff. So I'm sure there's all kinds of ancillary hanky-panky stuff going on, and some blackmail, possibly. But he also had a bank, the Virgin Islands. So he now could move money back and forth. No scrutiny. It would seem North Sea Nexus kind of like, but not that I want to draw that in per se because it was really for our intelligence.

Remember, when they were prosecuted, you're writing him up for the first prosecution. Oh, no, this guy, he belongs to intelligence. Yeah, he belongs to intelligence. He's moving the money. And how do you do that? Well, you get rich people to hang around you, and rich people love hanging around really rich people, and they love doing dumb rich people things. And yeah, cool dentist chair. I got some ideas what we can do with that.

Once you're that wealthy, you just become ill and sick and people with power. But that was his game. Then we have 2008, Bear Stearns collapses. Weren't they the only one that collapsed? No, Lehman Brothers. Lehman as well. So everything had to be moved over to another bank, and that was J.P. Morgan. And that makes total sense in Mike Benz's SuperStream story because there's all these suspicious activity reports, 800,000 here, a couple million there. We don't know where it's going.

We need some cash. Pay that person. For all we know, some of these women involved were carrying cash. I think that is much more likely to be the real story, and maybe this will come to light. It seems kind of doubtful. But the fact that Mike Benz was putting this together on a SuperStream at the same time these batches were coming out, I think that's the real story. I just don't see, and if you really think about it, the whole pedophiles started, it really was an online thing.

There was never any evidence for it. It came on the heels of Pizzagate, and there's definitely creepy people involved in Pizzagate, the Podesta brothers, very creepy, absolutely. And then we just had, then it was the Democrats. All the Democrats are pedophiles, and Trump. I like the idea of a pedophile cover for a bank scam. I think it's a good one. Yeah, because it draws all your attention. Well, it certainly has. And, of course, all we want to see is Trump being a pedophile.

That's all we want to see. So none of it really seems to pan out ever. But maybe someone will be unmasked, uncovered. It seems unlikely because what PR value does that even have? Would people even care? Oh, what, he was laundering money for us to pay, you know, arm the Mujahideen or the Iran-Contras? That's boring. Show me the pizza! It is boring. Show me the pizza! It's true. No, it's not interesting. No, and, of course, Trump can't get a district attorney appointed at the moment.

Everyone's stopping stuff. So I think that this is just going to keep on going. Hopefully there's some sacrificial lamb somewhere along the line at the end that we can point to just before the midterms. I think that's what the ultimate idea would be. And it makes a lot of sense with Maxwell. You know, that was her family business was doing that stuff. With Adnan Khashoggi, by the way. Familiar name? Khashoggi? Yeah, the guy they shot. Yeah, but his dad was the international arms dealer.

Yeah, one of the world's richest men. Yeah, buddies with Maxwell. So all of that kind of fits in a lot better than anything else. And, of course, when you have this kind of money and, you know, Epstein had to have his own cover. Well, I'm an international financier. But what does that mean? Well, I finance things internationally. What do you finance? Oh, science? MIT Media Lab? No, he's a bag man. He's just a bag man. And he probably did a really good job.

I'm still surprised we don't have anything from Zorro Ranch that seems like that's something that's missing. No one ever talks about it. Zorro Ranch, it seems like that was the real ground zero. The thing that bothers me the most is that he always seemed to be, you know, never seemed to be the head guy. And Wexler never comes up in the conversation. Ever. No. And Wexler has to be one of the main players here because he's the one who put the house together. And who knows what else he did.

Totally could be part of some Moscow organization. It was Wexler's property in New York that Epstein lived in. Yes. Yeah. So, but we're also, and you remember, then we got the Wayfair. Remember? Oh, Wayfair. They're shipping kids in boxes. You remember that? No, I don't remember that. You know what Wayfair is? Wayfair is the furniture company, the furniture email company. Yeah, the furniture company that make cheap furniture. Yeah, and they would say, look at this cabinet.

It's priced at $99,000. There's a kid inside. That's why. I can't. That's funny. You don't remember that. I don't remember that. That was a big thing. I wonder, do we still have. Did we do clips on it? Did we even talk about it? Yeah, we definitely talked about it. Let me see. Wayfair. Find me a clip. I don't know. I don't seem to have anything. I'm pretty sure we did something on it.

Anyway, meanwhile, what no one's talking about is Operation Relentless Justice, which was announced on Friday. 205 child victims located. 293 child sex abuse offenders arrested. A nationwide crackdown. Seems like that's kind of important. You didn't even hear about it. No, the mainstream media is focused on Epstein and Trump. Yeah, and this was Texas, Raleigh, North Carolina, Miami. Greggy's cult. I mean, these are all good names. Yeah, they can't. They don't want to.

I hate to say this, but it seems to be a fact. They really don't want to even bring it up because it makes them look bad because they're supporting, you know, the idea that ICE are bad people and they should be protested against. And let's keep it at that. Yeah. So I think this will just carry on. They'll continue to wait for something on Trump. They're like morons. They're really dumb. And we'll see. So CBS did say that there were videos released. Did you see?

Were there no videos that anybody saw? I didn't see any videos. Photos tonight of many of the powerful who ran and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's circle. Bill Clinton seems swimming in a pool with Ghislaine Maxwell and another woman with her face redacted. Clinton with another unknown woman on his lap. Celebrities, too, including Michael Jackson and Diana Ross. Epstein with Mick Jagger and Chris Tucker with Maxwell.

Many of the records are heavily redacted, and survivors say suspiciously so, including Epstein grand jury records. We do see Epstein's book of contacts with the name of President Trump, his late wife, and his daughter, Ivanka. A list of girls or young women listed as masseuses keeps the names private but shows there were more than 250. How confident are you at the end of the day, at the end of this period, you'll get everything? I don't feel tremendously confident that everything will come out.

Survivors, including Annie Farmer, have been fighting for years for the release of records and say they're frustrated these records are incomplete. There's been a lot of effort and money and time put into redactions not to protect victims but to protect people in power. So these two people, you only hear the woman talking, she is a family member of Virginia Guilfrey, and they both have giant monarch butterfly pins on their sweaters during this interview. We know what that means.

Wow, that's pretty peculiar. MKUltra. It's meant to trigger. That's a symbol, yeah, but what is the connection there? MKUltra! Yeah, I know, but what are they trying to accomplish, if true? Oh, anyone who has information, the minute they see the butterflies, they're programming, and then they're back into brainwash mode. That's how it supposedly works. I know, you're skeptical. I'm very skeptical. You're skeptical. But it's okay. And Mick Jagger, you know, oh, Mick Jagger.

Yeah, the photos you don't see are the 30 photos of him in concert. I mean, they clearly went to the Rolling Stones concert, took pictures backstage, maybe had a dinner in the hotel. Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, oh, yeah, they're probably involved. That seems unlikely. Of course. So cool your jets, everybody. You're getting absolutely nothing. Nothing. And everywhere things are going to start falling apart in the podosphere, or as you aptly said on Grimerica, the podcast circle jerk.

I think is that what you said? Something like that. It was good. People are reposting it. Yeah, look at Dvorak's podcast circle jerk. Well, we're going to complete the circle jerk. This came out this morning. This is an important information. As most of you that pay attention know, I am not the Internet police. Was anyone confused? Just want to make sure. Did anyone think Alex Jones was the Internet police? Okay, just checking. I don't invite.

I don't try to focus on what other people are theorizing about or doing. I try to focus on what I'm doing. Wait, wait, stop. Is he in his car? No, he's outside, though. It is the selfie cam. He's in the woods. He's in nature. He's in the woods. Okay, this is his latest thing. He used to always be behind the table, but now he's floating around. Now he's in the woods. He's in nature. This is important. This is what you do.

And so it's with a heavy heart that I am forced to put out another report either tonight or tomorrow morning. We're adding a lot of information right now, a lot more research. Dealing with Candace Owens. Just as soon as the whole Egyptian plane thing gets debunked, with all the facts, now she's moving to something else. And I'm really worried about her. I'm worried about her and her mind. And I'm also worried about the country and where this is going.

It's good to question Charlie Kirk's assassination. I have big questions. We know she felt covered up in the investigation of the accomplices. I broke that before it hit the mainstream news. So I'm not saying don't question. I broke that months ago. But her latest source and what she's done, implicating the U.S. military and all this other stuff is just so damaging. When you investigate it, it's so crazy. And just like with the Egyptian plane, she says she has the metadata. Then publish it.

And when she did publish it, and it got fact-checked, it wasn't accurate. Candace, we care about you. But you just doubled down again with something even more absurd. And I hate watching you destroy yourself like this. We'll be covering it all with the reports coming out of Reluctance on Axel Rumble and Infowars.com. God bless you all. You know that it's bad when Alex Jones is calling you out. Yeah, I have to play two clips about Candace that showed up on Gutfeld.

Okay. Mainly because Michael Malice said something that I thought was interesting. You would find it interesting. And Alex Jones just used the term double down. So let's play. Let's see. Candace, just a little clip from Candace Owens. Michael on Owens? No, Owens on Pierce Morgan. This was the setup. Brigitte Macron has a penis. I really want you to know that. Brigitte Macron does not have a penis. Brigitte Macron has a penis. No, she doesn't. I'm sorry. She had three children.

Did she get it removed? She had three children. Yeah, you can have adoptive children. You can call somebody. But Brigitte Macron was born a dude named Jean-Michel Trogneau. And I just feel, I want you to know that. I want you to know that Brigitte Macron probably stands peeing up. Probably pees standing up. The beauty is we have a big bet. We have a big bet and we're going to find out because it's going to court. And you will lose that court case. I think you know you will.

I am not going to lose a court case because Brigitte is presenting evidence that Brigitte was born a woman. Because that's never even been offered. That's just their PR coming after and saying these things. Nobody believes that Brigitte Macron is just unable to present any pictures. Nobody's asking for blood. Let's wait for the court case. Let's wait for the court case. Okay, great. Then you will be proven wrong again unless there's just federal corruption. Okay, federal corruption.

She went off. Can I just say one thing about proof of stuff like that? They humiliated, in fact Kamala Harris I believe, humiliated Michael Jackson and forced him to show his penis to the court. Of course it wasn't published because of certain distinguishing marks that had been claimed by children he allegedly had sex with or fooled around with. Why can't they do the same to Brigitte Macron? They just might.

But the point is that they went around a horn and out of the blue at the very end Michael Mala said the following thing that I thought you'd be interested in. Before you get any conspiracy theory I have to ask myself what would need to be true for this to be true? She has had biological children and they say her brother vanished and now the brother replaced her. The brother is still alive and he's given interviews. So this doesn't make any sense on any level. I mean is she insane?

I think it's BPD and when they have that they just always double down. Yeah, which is borderline bipolar disorder. Borderline personality. Oh, personality disorder. Oh, okay I see. And he said the phrase they always double down. The reason John is bringing this up is my ex-wife had, I believe, I can't prove it, had this disorder. Has. And yeah.

Well, when he said they always double down and he said it matter of factly in such a way that he's had relationships with a woman, I'm guessing, or he has a relative who has bipolar, not bipolar. Borderline personality disorder. Borderline personality disorder, the way he said it. And then when Alex Jones said double down in the clip you played, which just kind of backs it up, I brought it up not to point out anything in your past. No, other than the double down.

But have you noticed the double down thing? What does that even mean? Here's how I experienced it because it wasn't in the context of doing a podcast, which now I really have to think about it. But it wasn't even a double down. It was a constant down. So something would trigger it and it could be the smallest thing. And you could see it go from zero to 150 in 30 seconds. And it would and then it was just bam, bam, bam, blah, blah, just verbal. Well, until it wasn't verbal, but verbal, verbal.

And then double down, triple down, quadruple down. This is it. And then it would disappear just like snow before the sun. And then the person wouldn't even know actually what had happened. So now I have to look at Candace in that light. Oh, crap. Now I got to watch it again. So, yes, it's kind of an insane thing. Like, yes, I'm right. This is absolutely right. This is the truth. This is how it is. And just keep on going. That's what she was doing right there with Piers Morgan. Yeah. All right.

End of show mixers. There you go. Got a penis. Got a penis. I don't think so. Yeah. Oh, I think so now. I don't think so. Well, that would make, you know, in light of her friendship with Kanye, that kind of fits. Oh, that's a nice twist. Yeah. That kind of fits in a way. Yeah. Well, I guess that could take us right to the new PSYOP of the day, which I think you identified this on X. Nick Reiner. Yeah. All of a sudden, all of a sudden, ah, changed his meds. All of a sudden.

He did something with his meds. That's all. He went crazy. Do you have any clips on that? I do. I don't think so. Because this just came up and it came up mostly. It didn't come up in so far as clips are concerned, because there wasn't any reports on it, except to start showing up and when it showed up, it showed up. Bang, bang, bang. Yeah. Here I have. I have a couple of clips. Hold on. NBC.

Tonight we're learning more about the mental state of Nick Reiner, now charged with two counts of first-degree murder for the killings of his parents, Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle. A judge in Reiner's case signed a sealed medical order on Friday. According to three sources with direct knowledge of the case, the 32-year-old was being treated for a serious psychiatric disorder at the time of the crime.

The sources tell NBC News Reiner had been diagnosed some years ago with schizophrenia and was on medication, which had been changed or adjusted before the killings. How does this new information and what we're learning potentially impact the case moving forward? It's almost certain that mental health will either be a defense or an issue that's raised right now as far as Nick Reiner's competency to move forward with the legal proceedings.

Nick Reiner did not enter a plea during his first court appearance Wednesday, his attorneys standing to obscure his face and later urging the public not to rush to judgment. There are very, very complex and serious issues that are associated with this case. Legal analysts say if Reiner does stand trial, his defense may be setting the stage for an insanity plea. Which means that the defendant says, I did it, but I was insane at the time. That is an incredibly high bar.

Kind of fits with your where did that superstar defense attorney come from? There's a couple of things that can't be explained where that guy come from. I've watched and watched and watched. No one has come up with anybody that referred him or how he got there in the first place. The second little thing that keeps cropping up is that if he gets off on a insanity plea, insanity plea is the only way he can collect any of the inheritance. Wow, the perfect crime.

So it's and it's a substantial amount of inheritance. And it's believed that the attorney will get a big piece of it. Okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah. Yeah, of course. So he dreams this up because there is no reference to schizophrenia by the family, by Rami, by anybody. And did ever said, well, you know, he's they always thought he was a violent kid. And his and his associates talk to him about talk about him.

In other words, his friends had talked about him being kind of a spoiled brat and this sort of thing. And there's no mention of schizophrenia. I was watching this like a six minute video. I think the New York Post published it. And it's someone kind of doing like a profile piece on on this Reiner kid. And, you know, he's a rapper and he's walking down the street and he's spitting lyrics. And it's all in kind of this weird accent. And he says, I love Trump.

Trump's my boy, which I just thought was interesting. He's doing he's doing coke, smoking weed. Just but either that was an entire. Well, if you're schizophrenic, I guess that would be an entire personality. Kept that going pretty long. But he had, you know, hangers on and all kinds of odd people that that latch on to a person like this, you know, because they can hang out in the guest house. Here's KTLA closer to the source.

Prosecutors say 32 year old Nick Reiner murdered his parents, stabbing Rob and Michelle Reiner to death in their bedroom. The fact that Nick battled drug addiction for much of his life is no secret. But now TMZ is reporting, citing unnamed sources, a troubled son of Hollywood royalty had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a brain disorder. And that medications he was taking were not working properly, but making him more erratic, dangerous and out of his head.

What's more, TMZ says this information points to a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity. KTLA spoke with doctors who say the idea that anti psychotic medication can make a patient more violent or dangerous is unbelievable. They say a problem would be the absence of medication. The incidence of violence with schizophrenia is basically no different than any other regular human being.

If you add things like substance abuse, not taking medication, other factors, dangerous factors does increase the risk of violence. You know, on average, about across about five years, there's an odds of about 2.8 percent of people with schizophrenia will have violent actions compared to 0.8 percent of regular people. Hmm. So they're going to have to prove a lot in court. Interesting report came out today because the Reiners were at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.

I thought I'd never really paid Conan O 'Brien to be such a Hollywood guy. Did you ever think of him that way? Well, he was always a writer. He was with the Simpsons for a while. He's yeah, kind of. But, you know, to have the Reiners over the Obamas and I don't think Obamas were there, but, you know, he has this big Christmas party. And so that's where the the fracas started. It wasn't his house. It was at a restaurant. OK, that a restaurant, but at his party.

And it was his private restaurant party. So according to page six. Oh, actually, this comes from the Daily Mail. Even more credible that it got so bad and so loud that people wanted to call the police. They wanted to call 9-1-1. And Conan said, hey, this is what he said. It's my house, my party. So I don't know if he says my house is supposed to be a restaurant, but I could have been his house. So he talked everybody out of calling 9 -1-1. How do you feel now, if that's true?

I don't know if that's even, you know, it's in the Daily Mail, man. Yeah, I guess the Reiners left and they and Rick stayed behind. Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick, Rick. Nick stayed behind and started grilling people about if they're famous and he was making a scene of some sort. Yes. D-D-D-David is his hip hop name. D-D-D-David. That's crazy. Well, he'll get some creds. Yes, street cred. It's all incredibly sad. The other M5M fracas this week was the announcers for the Flyers game.

Oh, my Lord, we have to, we got to jump in. We have to penalize them for games. This is horrible. This went out over the airwaves. I can't believe what the announcer said on a hot mic. Did you hear what he said on the hot mic, John? No, I did not hear what he said on the hot mic, Adam. In Philadelphia, we said sometimes the Flyers get a sense of urgency when they're playing from behind. Now they're going to take the TV timeout. We'll take it as well. Seven gone in the third.

It's 3-2 Buffalo and the Philadelphia Flyers broadcast network. While you're down there, would you mind blowing me? I think we're still on the air, Tim. I love that. This is like the oldest joke in broadcasting. Someone's doing some wires or fixing your mic cable. Yeah, down to your feet. Yeah, and everyone's made this joke. Hey, while you're down there, would you mind blowing me? And he says it, and they're still on the air. Everyone loses their mind. That's every podcast ever.

That sounds like it was set up. Now I can see that happening. The problem I'm having now is I'm having trouble with the set up stuff that I'm seeing way too much of. Well, the best example is the person going up to the porch, picking up a package. They run out to their car, and the package blows up and throws paint all over them, the car, the whole area. Well, most of those are AI. Well, most of those are bull crap. I mean, there's one original guy. And there's hundreds of them.

No, those are all bull crap. But there's one original guy who really put in the work with the technology and had pumps and all kinds of stuff to spray fart spray. That guy's fantastic. Yeah, well, it's become a joke, and I think it's being done by Amazon Studios. Oh, that would make sense, wouldn't it? Yeah, to keep people from stealing packages. And I think it's pretty effective. And there's another fake one that's going around. I've seen at least four examples.

It's supposedly a newscast, the eyewitness crime report or something. It's always got the same set, sometimes two different people. And then they show a picture of a... And then we have a drawing of the suspected assailant. And then they put a picture up, and it's some stupid drawing, like just a round face with two dots for eyes. Oh, with the hair on the side of the head? Or whatever. And then they show the guy, and it's the same guy. And they crack up, and one of them falls off his chair.

I have seen four versions of this. And it's always the same set. There's no reference to any station. It's bull crap. There's so much bull crap being put on. Wait, wait. Are you telling me that AI slop is ruining your social media experience? No, I don't think this is AI. I think this was done staged. It doesn't have to be AI. I think you're underestimating AI. This stuff has gotten pretty good. This doesn't look like AI to me. But whatever the case, it's just another phony baloney thing.

But the package is blowing up. It's completely out of control. And then they have one where the electricity starts. And you can see the person, in fact, you see somebody lift the package. There's nothing in the package. It's obvious. You can't have a gallon of paint. A gallon of paint weighs a lot. I don't know if anyone's picked a gallon of paint up. But it's not like light. No, it's not. So I'm seeing more and more of these staged. Which, of course, throws me, which you should follow up with.

You should say to me, well, don't you think some of these women that you keep putting on the show, the TikTok complainers, are phony? Why would I do that if you're doing my work for me? I'm doing your work for you. Because I was watching a couple today, and it was like, I don't think so. No, of course not. And even the ones that are real, they're just very sad, very lonely people who just want some likes to feel warmth. That's all. It's becoming an embarrassing mess. A nuisance? It's a nuisance.

Actually, on my feet, it is a nuisance. This is like the same thing you pointed out, which is these cooking demos. Yeah. Where somebody dumps a bunch of crap in a pan, and they start stirring it up. And then they put tons of cheese, and they mix it up. And then they throw cans of this and that and mix it up. And then they serve it to the kids who go, yum. And it's just gross, whatever it is. It's great. The Internet is deteriorating. Well, that has a term, inshittification. That's the term.

But yeah, this is exactly what – this is entropy of the social networks. You don't even need AI for it. Once you let everybody go, man, that's a huge conversation. Or podcastindex.social. They're like, well, the Americans with a Section 230, blah, blah, blah. I said, listen, without Section 230, there would be no social media networks, period. It wouldn't happen. There's no way. There would be too many lawsuits and tort and libel, and it would never, ever end.

Well, if you're Americans, you can do that, blah, blah, blah. Here in Australia, we have sensible laws. You can't say Nazi. Oh, you mean you don't have free speech over there? Well, they all think that it's about what you can say. Man, my daughter's here. I just got to tell you, she and her fiancé, Kevin, are giving me boots on the ground of Rotterdam. Holy crap. Like what? First of all, it's a complete narco state. Everybody is involved in the drug trade one way or the other.

If they're an accountant, they're an accountant for drug pushers, dealers, wholesalers, whatever. Of course, the macro mafia, it's a lot of Moroccans who are mainly in the drug trade, but not exclusively. One building a week is being blown up. Just the whole building, all drug-related. There are schools that are for Muslim children only. They don't learn Dutch. They only learn Arabic. They honor killings, are regular business.

Of course, all the asylum seekers are all getting housing free in a market where there's 400,000 home shortage for the Dutch. These kids, they want a two-bedroom apartment. They can't actually find one because the minute it goes on the market, there's 10,000 people ahead of them within five minutes. Then there's these required salary. You have to approve salary requirements. If we're a two-bedroom apartment together, you have to make 115,000 euros a year.

Well, no. I said, well, can't you work more and then just get up to that level? Oh, no. The law, you can't work more than 32 hours a week. See, even if you want to work harder to make more money, you can't. No. No, because that's a 32-hour work week for everybody. Justice is completely gone. There was some asylum seeker who he stabbed multiple people, killed one of them. Evidence in court showed they've been watching extremist imams and ISIS beheading videos.

He watched videos in preparation of his attack, had Islamic chants on his phone that he played over his own little loudspeaker, shouted Allah Akbar while pulling out two knives, stabbing random tourists. What does he get? No jail time because of his mental condition. I mean, wow. So I don't even know how I got there, but what were we talking about? You talked about your daughter came and is visiting, and you got an earful, and then I said, what? I triggered it.

Yeah, I can't remember what was going on before that. Well, we were talking about something else. Yeah, something important. So on top of all that, they're going to steal more of their money. As we have a final decision, a final deal, we figured out how to do it. We know how to fund Ukraine. All eyes were on Brussels as EU leaders met for a make or break summit. Determined to find a way to lend billions of euros to Ukraine. By the early hours of Friday, a deal was done.

As a matter of urgency, we will provide a loan backed by the European Union budget. This will address the urgent financial needs of Ukraine. And Ukraine will only repay this loan once Russia pays reparations. Until then, the immobilized Russian assets will remain immobilized, and the Union reserves its right to make use of the cash balances to finance the loan. The main option had been to tap some of the 200 billion euros of Russian central bank assets frozen in the EU.

But that scheme fell by the wayside when Belgium's PM pushed back. His country hosts the bulk of the assets and feared Moscow retaliation. In the courts, or perhaps by other means. Germany's Chancellor called this decision a show of Europe's independence. Today, we were really put to the test.

We were confronted with a question of whether we really understood the challenges of geopolitics, whether we really saw the provocations of a new world order, and whether we had anything to counter them with. And I want to say that the answer is a resounding yes. The EU says Ukraine needs another 135 billion euros to stay afloat over the next two years, and the cash crunch could hit as soon as April. So here's how I understand this deal.

Instead of just stealing the money, they've now come up with some word salad. First of all, because of the powers they have under emergency situation, they no longer have to re-ratify every six months that the Russian assets are frozen. So now they're frozen indefinitely. Instead of stealing the money, we're going to take the money and call it a loan, backed by the European Union's own budget money, and Ukraine gets that loan, then doesn't have to pay it back unless Russia pays reparations.

Which they'll never do. Of course they'll never do that, and that would Russia be paying their own pocket to get the money that was essentially stolen in the first place. So they are stealing the money. They're just calling it a loan. I don't know if the international financial people see it that way, but this is just a different wording for we're stealing it.

Well, somebody pointed out that this is going to... I mean, the Europeans have to realize that this is not the way to encourage people to invest in Europe. Well, so they've taken a different track on that. They're going to steal your money. Yeah. You send your money over there, and then they basically nationalize your money. That's exactly what they did. That's what they did, yeah, and called it a loan. I didn't steal your money, man. I just borrowed it temporarily, okay? Holmes, don't worry.

Can I get it back? No, you can't get it back. No, no, I'm waiting for those guys to pay it. If I can't get it back, then you have my money, and you haven't given it back. This is no good. No. But at the same time, don't worry, citizens, because we're pretty much on track. We've approved the digital euro. We'll start rolling it out 2027, 2029. It'll be in full effect, and your money belonged to Fifi Lagarde. I know these are important moments for the digital euro, because we have done our work.

We've carried the water. Carried the water. For the European Council, and certainly later on for the European Parliament. Isn't carrying water typically seen as a negative? He's carrying water for Putin. Yeah, yeah, it's a negative. It's a, what do you call it when you soft-pedal the negative comment? Bullshit. No, no, it's something else. There's a term I'm looking for, I don't have it. Pardon me, Lord. All right, let's go back.

We've carried the water, but it's now for the European Council, and certainly later on for the European Parliament, to identify whether the Commission proposal is satisfactory, how it can be transformed into a piece of legislation, or amended. Our ambition is not to be role models. Our ambition is to make... That's great. Hey, we don't want to be role models here. We're going to actually screw you. We're not role models, we're just thieves. Our ambition is not to be role models.

Our ambition is to make sure that in the digital age, there is a currency that is the anchor of stability for the financial system. For the moment, that anchor is central bank money, which essentially has material form. It's the banknotes that you have in your wallet. But in the digital age, it has to be a digital expression of that sovereignty and a digital anchor for the purpose of the financial system. Wait, back it up. Does she say it has to be? Let me listen again.

But in the digital age, it has to be a digital expression of that sovereignty and a digital anchor. It has to be. Stop a second. What does it have to be? She says it has to be. Oh, in the digital age, it has to be. She says a digital expression of your central bank. It has to be. What does it have to be? What makes it have to be? Listen, she's wearing a green sash like she belongs to Starfleet Command. It's really insane with this woman's fashion choices.

Like a broad, like one of those Miss Universe type sashes, only it's green and has some kind of nondescript bug on it. She feels like Captain Pike. It has to be. It has to be a digital expression. But in the digital age, it has to be a digital expression of that sovereignty and a digital anchor for the purpose of the financial system that we have.

So that's what we're pursuing in addition to making sure that it is user-friendly, not costly, fast, efficient, private, that it can work online, offline. I mean, I could go on and on because you know that I follow that very carefully. Yeah, why bother? Colleagues and both Luis and myself are very strong supporters of this initiative, and we place great hopes in the work that will be done in Parliament once the Council has determined its views. Ahamada, ahamada, ahamada, ahamada.

That's, I mean, it is a literal central bank digital currency. But don't worry, it'll be private. You can, even if you're offline, you can exchange it with people. We'll sync it back up later. Yeah, what could go wrong with that? Seems highly unlikely. But sounds like a good way to rob them. I mean, seriously, so if I buy something and my phone is in offline mode, or I exchange something with you, and I just trash the phone, I'm good to go, aren't I?

I'm sure there's better scams than that, but this is scammable. Possibly. I mean, the printed bills are scammable. You have to counterfeit them. It's a lot of work. But I think this is going to ease it, make it easier for, especially the people that are talented black hat types. And I'm sure it's all going to run on XRP. So everybody with XRP are going to be a billionaire. So amidst all of that, I'm just going to bop back to Russia for a second.

It looks like peace talks are not really moving the way they wanted at Steve's club in Miami. What? I was going to say they're not moving at all. It's just a lot of drinking. A gated golf course in Florida becomes the latest hub to host these talks as U .S. negotiators meet separately with both sides to try to end the war. Russia's envoy spoke briefly to reporters after arriving in Miami. The discussions are constructive. They began and continued on Saturday and will also continue on Sunday.

Thank you very much. Speaking in Kiev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the U.S. to put more pressure on Moscow. America must clearly say, if not diplomacy, then there will be full pressure. There will be a very strong weapons package for Ukraine. There will be a very strong support for Ukraine. The United States will impose sanctions fully on the entire economy, on all sectors that bring money to the Russians. Without this, it's simply impossible.

Putin does not yet feel the kind of pressure that should exist. For months, the Trump administration has led high -profile talks. While Kiev has made some concessions, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear on Friday he is not in the mood to negotiate.

We are ready and willing to resolve the conflict by peaceful means on the basis of the principles that I set out in June of last year at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and provided that the causes that led to this crisis are eliminated. For both sides, that means territory. The U.S. is proposing security guarantees for Ukraine, but Kiev would need to cede land, something Zelensky said on Saturday would have to be put to the Ukrainian people in a referendum. Hold on a second.

He can't hold elections, but a referendum is no problem? Why does no one ever question that little tidbit? That's a good catch. President Putin wants the whole of the Donbass region and more and says Russia can take it by force if Kiev doesn't cede to Moscow's terms. Europe, and they're all syoping this tiny dancer. Say no. Say no, son. Say no. Just say no. Keep saying no. We got your back. Our kids are ready to die for you. No. Well, it's a question of how much longer this can continue.

Well, this money's going to run out. Yeah, because it doesn't get used for anything other than lining people's pockets. Yeah, they're stealing it. No doubt. No doubt. I had one more clip here. I think it was the BBC. Was it NBC? Somebody asked Putin. Putin did another one of those five-hour TV shows. He's like Trump. I think Trump got it from him, like, hey, I can do that. I just don't own the station yet. Our Keir Simmons is in Moscow tonight and questioned Vladimir Putin directly.

He pressed him on President Trump's peace plan. That's right, Tom, President Putin answering questions for four and a half hours. Another Brit. Calling claims Moscow is planning to attack Europe nonsense and promising there will be no more wars after Ukraine if Russia is treated with respect. And with more talks underway, I asked him about President Trump's push for peace. Push for peace.

Mr. President, if you reject President Trump's peace offer, will you be responsible for the deaths of Ukrainians and Russians in 2026? What kind of an a-hole question is that? I mean, seriously, how are you supposed to respond? Oh, yeah, I take full responsibility for everyone who dies. That's right. Russians in 2026. We do not consider ourselves responsible for the death of people. It wasn't us who started this war. The ball is entirely in the court of our Western so-called opponents.

It was Russia that invaded Ukraine in 2022, Tom, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said today the U.S. is not pressuring either side, just trying to see if a deal is possible. President Putin says Russian forces are advancing on the battlefield, while today Ukraine said it had hit a Russian oil tanker. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Tom. Alright, that's enough. Yeah, that's enough. That's all we have. They stole the money, they called it a loan. It's just great.

It's just so... I wish that something would kick off so the kids wouldn't even be able to go back. I'll just keep them here. You're going to have to tie them up. They're going to go back. Yeah, I know. I know. I have some clips from the Brown University killer thing that... This is interesting. This is an interesting case. Yeah, and here's the thing. I've had three clips, and they're all called Brown Killer Far-Fetched. Yes. In other words, everything seems pretty screwy.

This whole thing seems like it doesn't sound right, it doesn't make sense, and they're all going, you know, wiping their hands. We did it. We're good. We're good to go. Let's end this whole thing and go do something else. But listen to this. Here we go with part one. The suspect in the Brown University campus shooting and the murder of a professor from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been found dead in New Hampshire. We brought you that here on Fox.

Authorities say Claudio Neves Valente died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He's a former student at Brown with ties to the MIT educator. Correspondent Brooke Taylor is in Providence, Rhode Island tonight. This was always going to be an investigation where something was going to break it open. Providence leaders and police touting themselves for their work after days... First of all, what kind of... I've never heard a statement like that. This whole thing was an investigation.

We knew from the beginning something was going to break it wide open. I've never heard someone say that. We're hoping for a tip. We're looking for leads. We're trying to figure this out. No, we knew something was going to blow this wide open. That's your far-fetched bit right there. Correspondent Brooke Taylor... That's far-fetched one. Yeah, I know. Way through the rest of it. I know, I know. Providence, Rhode Island tonight.

This was always going to be an investigation where something was going to break it open. Providence leaders and police touting themselves for their work after days... Days of criticism for the pace of their investigation and chaotic press conferences. After a six-day manhunt across multiple states... Police identified a 48-year-old former Brown Ph.D. student... As the man who opened fire at the Ivy League school last weekend... Killing two students and wounding nine more. He was a Brown student.

He was a Portuguese national. And I will tell you that he took his own life tonight. First reported by Fox... Authorities found Claudio Neves Valente dead in a New Hampshire storage facility... Leaving many unanswered questions and a crime spree that investigators say... Included the murder of an MIT professor in Massachusetts. Previously, he attended the same academic program as the MIT professor... Nuno Luriero in Portugal between 1995 and 2000. Yeah, that was an interesting connection.

Yeah, and how would they get to that connection so quickly? How did they manage to find this out? I know how. The crack team at Redacted called their sources in Portugal. And so we have that issue. And we have to remember that the guy at MIT was an expert on... He was a nuclear scientist and his specialty was fusion power. Yes. This is kind of interesting because of all the Iranian scientists... That have been killed over the years that are... Working on fusion. Working on one thing or another.

So, wait a minute. So now you're putting him in the same line as the zero-point energy guys... And cars that drive on water? No, I don't think zero-point energy and fusion energy is the same whatsoever. Fusion is a known technology. Right, but they're going to disrupt the entire energy system. They have to be eliminated. It was the oil companies that killed him. Yes, yes. Exxon. Exactly. Police say a Reddit tipster cracked open the case by posting the suspect's car description. Now, hold on.

Stop. Stop this clip. This was great. This is the worst of the most far -fetched. And I'm going to preview it for anybody. They got a tip from a homeless man who was a Brown University student. Living in the basement. It was a Brown University... No, he was a graduate from Brown, but he was homeless because if you graduate from Brown, you can't get work. And he just so happened to be in the neighborhood walking around homeless. He lived in the basement. In the same area where the killer was.

He lived in the basement, John. He lived in the basement. And then he... Yeah, that's not mentioned in the report. Oh. And then he... Well, he's homeless. He lives in a basement. He has a home. Yeah. But he saw the guy and immediately remembered his car for some reason or other. And then told him about the car. And once they knew about the car, they get the license plate. But he did this by posting it on Reddit because the homeless, as you know, are on Reddit like nobody else.

I can't say one way or the other, but I do know it's what they train AI on, so it must be good. So let's start this clip too. Police say a Reddit tipster cracked open the case by posting the suspect's car description. He was later identified as the man in these images. Sources say he's a homeless man and a former Brown University grad. He had an odd encounter with the shooter earlier in the day and remembered what his car looked like. Police used license plate reader cameras to find the car.

And eventually they were led to the storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire, where he was found dead with two firearms nearby. Police say the tip was crucial due to the lack of security cameras at the Brown University building. So the troll room did immediately show me a homeless subreddit where people who are homeless post. Of course, that's monitored by the police just in case they post something about the car. Well, that's only if they have a case that needs to be broke wide open.

Yeah, so that's so I'm sure that that's being monitored 24 7 by the by the police. Okay, so that makes sense. Of course, the guys found in a shed of storage shed shot. Yeah, that's not suspicious. I'm sorry. Okay, onward. Yeah, play the last clip. An autopsy shows that the shooter was dead two days before police found him. The big question right now tonight is what is the motive here? Sources say they still don't know. There were also no writings found.

Sources also say that currently officials are going through his credit card transactions just to try to see where he's been the last few days. Okay, I have a few clips that will give us some additional information because I think there was another far fetched bit. And this concerns what you discussed, what you brought up on the last show, that he yelled something. Now, I have to say, you said he probably yelled and killed because he was a Republican hater, killed the Republican girl.

But now we know kind of what he yelled. After a nearly week-long manhunt that left the nation on edge, police have identified the shooting suspect who killed two Brown University students and an MIT professor. Authorities were able to follow his trail thanks to the help of a homeless hero who provided them with key information. Homeless hero? Now, that's better. Homeless hero. That's much better. Yeah, I like it. It's a better headline. Led them to a storage facility in Salem, New Hampshire.

There, they found 48-year-old Claudio Neves Valente dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. So who was this demented person who reportedly barked like a dog while he opened fire on his victims? Here's everything you need to know. On Saturday, December 13th, a crazed gunman dressed in black stormed an engineering building at Brown University, killing two people and injuring nine others.

In a rampage which left the campus in a panic, a sophomore Ella Cook and a freshman Mohamed Aziz Umurzikov were named as the victims who lost their lives in the horrific massacre. The killer managed to escape police and remained at large. The Ivy League campus and parts of the Rhode Island capital of Providence were left under lockdown and in a state of terror as a desperate manhunt was underway.

Nothing was known about the shooter, whom police have since revealed made a disturbing sound during the massacre. Some witnesses said he said nothing. There are some that say he made a barking noise. Don't ask me. I don't know why. And that's it. There there is no other spoken word beyond that that we are aware of. So he made a barking noise. So they changed the story. Oh, yeah.

So he goes in there, goes woof, woof, woof and shoots two people and shoots a bunch of others and then rushes off to shoot the professor and then goes to a storage bin and shoots himself. This is bullcrap. Then we have the homeless hero. Here's some more details on this with ominous music. He blew this case right open. He blew it open. He blew it open. This is you're right. This is very far fetched, especially how they speak about it. What instead of what is that?

What is where am I getting feedback from? Instead of saying, you know, we're really grateful to this man. You know, this is this is how how the Internet helps. Whatever. He blew it wide open. Well, wait, one more thing to get to kind of the giveaway to the far fetched aspect is the fact that they had a picture of this guy, the homeless man, in advance of of him posting on Reddit or something, because they were they were one of the press conferences.

We have this unidentified man that may have run into the shooter. We don't know if he was working with him or whatever. And it was all that in itself was far fetched. It was some guy. There was you never saw the two of them together. It was just a bunch of random photos of the homeless man. And he had to should have turned himself into the police. And then he posts about because because the homeless concern is that, oh, I saw a guy get in a car. I mean, this is bullcrap. This stinks.

It's not even a well written. Blew this case right open. He blew it open. The tipster known only as John turned out to be a homeless man who had been living in the basement of the engineering building at the time, sources told Fox News. He bumped into Valente and noticed he was acting suspiciously, working off John's information. Authorities tapped into additional surveillance footage that ultimately led them to the gunman. I just got it.

I can't get beyond the he was living in the in the university basement. So, first of all, not homeless by the actual definition. Houseless. Maybe that. How do you get to be living in the basement of the university? It's bullcrap. The homeless hero has now been credited with cracking the shootings, as the feds say he is now entitled to the staggering $50,000 reward. Thanks to John's lead, authorities learned that Claudio Neves Valente. I didn't even know there was a reward.

Did they put a $50,000 reward? And there was a discussion when they found the dead guy about who's going to get the reward. And they finally determined it was going to go to this guy. The homeless hero didn't lead to the arrest. Thousand dollar reward. Thanks to John's lead, authorities learned that Claudio Neves Valente rented the gray Nissan in Boston and changed his license plates. According to prosecutors, he also used a phone that masked his location and had credit cards.

Masked his location. Do you think he had location off, perhaps? I want one of those phones. I want a phone that masks. That's another little trick. Explain that to me. And also, how did they know he changed his plates unless they had pictures of him doing it? Masked his location and had credit cards that weren't under his name. The gunman was then connected to the death of LaRaro through the rental car and other movements. Security footage captured Valente within a half a mile of LaRaro's home.

Authorities also say there is video footage of him entering an apartment building near the location of the professor's apartment. Valente appeared to have shot LaRaro, then driven to a rented storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire. Finally, on the night of Thursday, December 18th, authorities stormed the facility where they found Valente with a satchel and two firearms. Dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Well, and he was shot two days earlier, according to the police.

So he killed himself two days before they got there, which is like right after the shooting of the professor. Why? Why did he go there and do that? What was in the satchel? And what was in the satchel? The satchel's new. I demand to know what's in the satchel. You know, this is the kind of thing you always say. Who even has a satchel anymore? I don't even know what a satchel is. It's a butt bag, I think. Satchel. Satchel. Boomers have satchels. It's like knapsack. He had a knapsack. Knapsack.

Knapsack. Well, there is a problem, reaction, solution to all this. I doubt it's related, but of course, this was the ultimate remedy that this is all the result of. Investigators have since revealed that Claudio Neves Valente was a Portuguese national and a former Brown University graduate student. He also studied in Lisbon with murdered MIT nuclear science professor Nuno Larrao between 1995 and 2000.

The nature of their relationship remains unclear, nor has it been revealed if they stayed in contact. Valente was enrolled at Brown University between 2000 and 2001 in a graduate physics program. He primarily took classes at the university's Beres and Holly building, where he opened fire on students inside a classroom, according to Brown University president Christina Paxson. It is safe to assume that this man, when he was a student, spent a lot of time in that building, Paxson told reporters.

The gunman took a leave of absence from Brown University in April 2001 and formally withdrew from the Ivy League University in 2003. He came to the United States from Portugal on a student visa. Valente received lawful permanent resident status in September 2017, officials said. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed Valente entered the U.S. through the lottery immigrant visa program DV-1 in 2017. He was later granted a green card.

This heinous individual should never have been allowed in our country, she wrote. And in a declaration that has implications far beyond this case, she continued. At President Trump's direction, I am immediately directing USCIS to pause the DV-1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program. By the way, the green card lottery. Yeah, I know, but this is not the problem. No, of course not the problem, but it's a disastrous program.

This guy's like a peaceful character until right now and all of a sudden he did this, that and the other. Yeah. And he shot himself for some unknown reason. You know why? He could have gotten away with it, seems to me. And what was the storage room being used for? I mean, why was it in New Hampshire? This is bull crap. This is too many bull crap. It's just, I can't, it's nothing that makes sense about it. And the fact that they're playing it straight is beyond me.

Yeah. They can't come up with something better. I don't know either. I really don't know. I mean, this is probably beyond the shooting in Manhattan of the Blackstone girl, even though they blamed it. Oh, he hated the NFL. Yeah, okay. He never played in the NFL, but that's okay. He went to shoot up the NFL and accidentally shot one of the main people at Blackstone, an operation that's buying up all the housing where he came from. And somebody obviously got screwed by him.

But that's pretty logical. I don't get this one at all unless it has something to do with Fusion or the oil companies. I mean, there's nothing. How about, what is the entire GDP at the moment built on? On hyperscalers, all the money that is circling around initially, basically coming from one source, which is NVIDIA, and others, and now Saudi Arabia. It's all going into power. All going into power generation. Not the data centers. It's the power for the generation.

So, let's just presume, I know I'm going out on a ledge here. Let's presume that this is all about the MIT professor. They got to do something to cover up the hit on the MIT professor, because there's very little evidence. Well, you know, we saw the guy around there on some ring door video cam, kind of looked like him. So, that was him, and he killed the MIT guy. So, perhaps this MIT guy, maybe he had something. Maybe it was a huge problem. Like, look, I now have a gigawatt in a jar.

I mean, I don't know. How does fusion even work? Fusion works by combining elements, like atoms get combined in such a way that after the combination, energy is given off. Right. As opposed to cracking something and it happens. Can you do it in a jar? No. Would it impact the world tremendously at this moment in time, right when everyone's putting all of this money into gas-powered energy? It's considered the holy grail.

Okay. So, let's listen to the Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, with the money, honey, this morning. Gentlemen, I was the Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum. Secretary, great to have you. Thanks so much for being here this weekend. What about that pushback on data centers? Well, the data centers, it's all about decision -making made between the locals. I mean, there are examples, including in my home state, where a data center comes in, you get an agreement with a local.

Electric prices stay the same for the consumers, the local farmers or ranchers, or it can even go down. There's deals that are being cut right now.

We're proposing that if somebody wants to come in and build a data center, but they're going to build power generation with it, have some of that be behind the meter, off the grid to run the data center, but when they build the power, build extra, so that they can put like an extra 20 % back into the grid and help ensure that prices either stay flat or go down for consumers. There is certainly right now the economics. Electricity has never been worth more now.

A kilowatt hour has never been worth more now than it ever has been at any time in history. Okay. That was the key point. He says something interesting later on, but that was the key point. So first of all, it's the same or it's going down, but a kilowatt hour has never been more valuable than that now, which means expensive. Expensive. Yes. These tech companies that are driving up the stock market have a record amount. The top five tech companies in America have almost $400 billion of CapEx.

They want to spend on power generation as long, again, with these data centers. And a data center is really a place where we're manufacturing intelligence. Whoa! Did you know that? Were you aware? We're back, baby. America is back in the manufacturing business. What are we manufacturing? Intelligence. And with these data centers. Which clearly this guy was not first in line for. And a data center is really a place where we're manufacturing intelligence.

Intelligence lifts every sector of the economy, so we want more intelligence, not less. And so localities that are figuring out a way to have. I think he meant to say artificial intelligence, but he keeps saying intelligence. Intelligence manufactured in their local area and lower prices. Those are the folks that are getting it. People that are blocking and stopping these projects from coming in are actually hurting every sector. They're hurting their universities. They're hurting their schools.

They're hurting the U.S. national security. Sounds to me like if someone figured this out, it's going to hurt our schools, hurt our universities, hurt our national security. We've got to kill this guy. This guy is too close. What are we going to do? I've got a homeless guy in the basement. Yeah, how can we set him up? Give him $50,000. We'll give him $50,000, and he'll give us the back story, and then we'll take this other, the patsy. Yep. Who may have killed himself months ago, for all we know.

Yeah, this whole thing just stinks. It stinks. But what's behind it, it may stink, but to figure it out is going to be non-trivial. I don't think anyone's going to do it unless it's just straight-up fusion. Well, I think the first thing we need to do is establish the true link in Portugal with these two. I'm skeptical of that. I'm very skeptical of that. They're just saying it. What, are they gay lovers? You know, it's like, hey, this guy's also from, he's from Portugal. Let me go investigate.

That's like a Whitney Webb five months later type thing. That's not something that just pops up, seems to me. Yeah, it's something you can't just, you just can't make a phone call. And there's very little evidence that he killed the MIT professor. There just isn't. You know, there's a Ringcam video of someone walking by. Oh, that's him. He switched the plates. You know, there are identical cars with different plates, you know, that also happens. Yeah, yeah. Gray Nissan. Yeah. That's so rare.

I don't know, I'm just, I'm skeptical. Yeah, okay, well, that's, we might as well just give up on that. Yeah, we'll give up on that. But let's stay with AI because it's always super fun. And the first thing we'll do is we'll go to the farmers. The farmers are now being hurt by AI. Gabor Farm in Maryland is ready for the holidays. We give them a saw, we give them a tree cart. They find their perfect tree. I know it sounds like a human interest story for Christmastime, but hold on.

The Christmas trees are pruned, the chocolate fudge displayed. But Lisa Gabor, a seventh generation farmer. Dude, have you tried the Little John's Candies fudge yet? I've had their fudge before. Did you get the eggnog fudge? Uh, no, not if it was in the package. The package is still sealed. Oh. We cut into one and it was eggnog fudge. It was delightful. I've never even considered that. It's almost, it should be in the egg book. The Christmas trees are pruned, the chocolate fudge displayed.

But Lisa Gabor, a seventh generation farmer, is struggling to enjoy the season. You're in a fight. We are in a fight. What do you think your chances are of winning it? I don't know. It's going to be a long road hoe. The fight is over proposed high voltage power lines that would cut right through this 40 acre Christmas tree field.

Gabor is part of a group of Maryland landowners battling the proposed 67 mile line that would cross three counties to deliver power from Pennsylvania to Northern Virginia, an area where data center growth has exploded because of AI and with it the demand for electricity. All of that computer processing needs power. In a statement, the utility company says the lines are necessary to power data centers in both Virginia and Maryland, as well as strengthen the power grid.

Farmers in Maryland tried to block surveyors from coming onto their property. The power company sued to gain access and won. Now the company is threatening to use eminent domain, which gives the government authority to acquire private property. That company can't call eminent domain. Only the government can, correct? Yeah. But that's not what I heard them say. Let's play it back. And won. Now the company is threatening to use eminent domain. The company is threatening to use eminent domain.

Yeah, they can't use eminent domain. They don't have the right to do that. Which gives the government authority to acquire private property for public use to go forward with the project. We all need to manufacture more intelligence. Sorry, ma'am. The battle playing out in similar ways all over the country. Suddenly we need a lot of power and we weren't planning to have to build that much. There are multiple regions where new data centers are creating a surge in power demand.

Do we have the kind of power infrastructure in place right now in this country to be able to supply enough power to the AI industry? We don't really at this point. We're having to get very creative. At Gaver Farm, the power company just left notice that its surveyors would be there soon. They could show up anytime. This is going into our busiest tree season. We're just honest and good, hardworking farmers that didn't ask for this. Tonight, Lisa Gaver vowing to keep farming and fighting.

Okay. So there's your Christmas AI power story. This brings to mind that there's something scammish going on here. Hence the need to kill the MIT professor, yes? Well, I don't know if it has anything to do with that guy. But the whole idea of, oh, we've got to build out all these data centers out of the blue all of a sudden so people can do AI art, you know, or whatever they're going to do. It just doesn't make any sense. And we can't get a better voice. And we got that.

Yes, I was bitching to Adam. You'll hear these songs. We have our AI songs at the end of the show in the show mix. And the voice is the same guy. It's some kind of a Broadway version of Sinatra that is with a good range. But it's the same guy. And I'd like to hear somebody else, you know, besides this guy's voice. I mean, it's much more important that we improve that voice than have farms. I mean, come on. Let's be honest about it. And they're not going to do it.

There's something going on that maybe we're going to have a flood of excess oil that's got to be burned off. And energy prices are too high already every place in the country. In California, it's ridiculous. All of these municipal power companies, they all went to their city councils or state or whatever they had to go to and say, hey, we need a little more room in our pricing because of the demand. So we need, you know, anywhere between 15 and 25 percent more room for prices increases.

And, of course, the city council people, they're all like hanging out with the AI boys. We'll take care of that for you. Yeah, but you're bringing jobs or whatever. But this is where all the money is. All the money right now is in building data centers, building the actual data centers, because, of course, we have a lot of Nvidia chips that need to go somewhere, and the power generation for it. As far as I can tell, that's where all the money is going or into, you know. Is there a shortage?

Is the demand for AI services so high that it's coming to a halt? No, no, no. Then what's the point? The promise is if you just give us more power, Captain, if you just give us more power, then AI will really work. We're almost there. That's all I hear. Really work doing what? Getting that voice you want. That's a little coding issue. I think they could fix that. No, I think it's harder than it looks. All right, well, let's move from one fraud to another and go to Minnesota.

Oh, I was still on AI, but OK, if you want to. Do you have any more AI stuff besides just complaining? Because that's all I'm going to do. Oh, you can complain, and this happened in your, oh, here we go. Let me say it. In your neck of the woods in the Bay Area. Yeri McLaren used her debit card for gas at the 7-Eleven in Pinal. She went inside to buy a Powerball Dory. What? This is not a good story. Yeah, I know it happened. Well, OK, then I'll end the clip. Just give us the story.

OK, well, I'm actually funny because I was going to get this. You might as well play the clip because it might have the little kicker in there. The gas stations were charging 1,000 times more. Like if you bought a $20 gallon of gas, it was $20,000 or $2,000. I think it was 100 times more, 100 times. And it was all because of a software fix. Yeri McLaren used her debit card for gas at the 7-Eleven in Pinal.

She went inside to buy a Powerball ticket, but her card got declined, so she used her cell phone to check her bank account right there in the store. And then that's when I got the shock of my life. That ticket gas that I put in wasn't $79.34 like I had thought. It was $7,934. 7-Eleven charged her 100 times what the amount should have been. Yeri told me the clerks were not helpful. And they didn't shut the pumps down until I threatened to call the police and the Better Business Bureau.

After many calls and emails, 7-Eleven finally refunded Yeri's $7,900 and gave her an extra $500 for her trouble. How did this happen in the first place? An internal company email obtained by the i -Team cites a recent software update and says it appears the decimal point moved over for the pending transaction. 7-Eleven's corporate office in Irving, Texas tells me that a payment processor error affected six stores.

7-Eleven emailed me, we are actively working with a payment processor to reverse these charges as soon as possible. But this customer has not heard from the company and it's been more than a week. So the story I wanted to give you but couldn't find a clip for was the power outage in San Francisco. It wasn't huge, it was 130 homes and businesses. But the minute that happened, and this was Richmond, Sunset, Presidio, Golden Gate. So did you even see any of that or hear anything about it?

No, 130 houses, this is common. Yes, it's normal for California. Well, anywhere. But the Waymo cars all stopped the minute that happened. Oh, that's interesting. They just parked right in the intersection, like wherever they were, they just stopped. Yeah, yeah. They're going to have to fix that. Yeah. Well, this story about the credit card run up of 100x has some dubious aspects.

For one thing, when you have a debit card, it usually has a limit that's reasonably low because they're always fearful that debit cards are going to get ripped off. Yeah. That's around, typically with most cards, it's $400. Yeah, good point. You can't get a $7,900 bill on a $400 limit debit card. It just can't be done. So there's that element. Yeah. The whole thing is, I don't know. Wait a minute, the news is just full of crap today. It's just all lies. It is.

I think it's just that way all the time. No. What? Yeah, gambling. Which brings me to a clip. I mean, we could play the Minnesota Fraud clip, but I want to play this clip because it's kind of floating around and I thought I'd play it. This is from 2018. This is Megyn Kelly. And this just shows you, this is when she was working for NBC and she was, you know, had to get her millions. She had a $60 million contract. Some ridiculous contract.

And so when you're working for somebody at that kind of money, you say what they tell you to say and you end up with something like this. And I always want to say, this is classic media problem. This is the media in a nutshell. It just epitomizes everything that's wrong with the M5M. People with me on stage right now are all transgender kids who want others to know it is possible to transition socially with love and support and acceptance within a family and a community.

Please welcome 16-year-old Nicole, 12-year -old Daniel, 14-year-old Gia, 15-year -old Landon, and 13-year-old Stella. Morning, everyone. Also joining me in our special audience is Ghira Goldstein, who's a transgender woman who is the co-founder, along with Jen Grossandler, who you just met, of the Gender Cool Project, a new movement that is being launched today. We're going to tell you all about it and it's actually really important. So, alright, welcome to you all. Everybody nervous?

Everyone sufficiently nervous? Go ahead. So, if anything, you're proving that Megyn Kelly will say whatever she has to for money because now she's so anti-trans, it's not even funny. Yeah. The comparison between the two. So did she have an awakening? No, she had a different payee. Gold! Gold! She has a different person signing the checks. I mean, this is the problem with everybody in the media. They're dishonest. This is just basically dishonesty. I just have one series of clips.

I see you have a clip from PBS, but I got a couple of clips from it because I thought it was my beat. So I'd like to take the surveillance pricing, if you don't mind. The reason my clip, which you should probably play initially, confirms that the problem was the terminology. And I didn't fully understand because you're going on and on about prices and the rest of it. And we had a letter from one of our producers that talked about how they change prices at the stores. They don't do it that way.

Well, what he said, he was saying, oh, surprise, surprise, you pay more when Instacart delivers it. That's what he was saying. Yes, the Instacart prices is different. You play my clip and then you can play yours out. If you're going online to buy some last minute gifts, there's a chance the price you'll pay will be influenced by what's known as surveillance pricing.

That's the practice of some retailers to use the power of A.I. to sift all sorts of personal data to set individualized prices online. Things like your age, gender, geographic location and even browsing history could change the price you pay. Ali Rogin spoke with Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst for the Speech, Privacy and Technology Project at the ACLU. Thank you so much for joining us. So what is surveillance pricing and how does it work?

Surveillance pricing is basically when companies gather a huge amount of data about their individual customers. And we're living in an era where more data is being collected about us than ever before. Companies take that data and they use it to try to figure out basically how to wring more money out of you when you buy things from them. What is your pain point? What are you willing to pay? Questions like that.

And there's widespread experimentation happening with that kind of pricing in a number of business sectors today. Yes, that yeah, that basically is my my first two clips was good because now I can continue on. Get a little bit deeper into this. And of course, this is really machine learning. And he'll say AI, which is just a code name for machine learning. This has been around for a long time.

It is just more data, by the way, when you have more data centers and you have AI sucking everything up into the corpus, that's kind of handy. And they have real brain scientists working at these outfits, specifically when it comes to pricing and recommendations, pricing, price points, etc. How do I know my sister PhD works for one of these companies and is actually well, she does the she helps customers implement it. But this is this has been going on for a while and it's only gotten better.

So what are some examples of that? How are these companies using the massive amounts of data that exist about all of us online to give us these? I've heard it described as like personalized pricing. I mean, right off the bat, there's a lot we don't know because, number one, they're going to claim trade secrets. Number two, they're using AI, which is very opaque in the first place. Even the businesses may not understand what the logic of the AI they're using is.

But this first came into public attention when the president of Delta Airlines, speaking to investors, said that they were planning on using AI to set an increasing proportion of their prices, their airline prices, and that they would use personal information about people to do so. That created a bit of an uproar in Congress and elsewhere. And Delta backed off and said, no, no, no, we're not going to do this.

But it really put the issue, which has been out there for 10, 15 years on a low-key level, really put it into the headlines recently. And so we're seeing attention by Congress, by state legislatures, by the Federal Trade Commission, and others. There was a recent report that Instacart has been doing differential pricing.

A consumer group did a test and they found that 75% of the products on Instacart were getting set with different prices with different people, with some of the prices 23 % higher for some people than for others. The Wall Street Journal has reported that retailers like Home Depot were setting different prices for different customers, with customers in affluent areas actually getting charged less. I think that there's a lot we don't know about what's happening, but it's definitely going on.

As a quick aside, FTC announced that Instacart paid a $60 million fine in consumer refunds, I should say, to settle a lawsuit over allegations it engaged in deceptive tactics. It almost to me sounds like, oh, man, if you leave us alone on this, we'll settle this bit of it. And the deceptive tactics were they automatically enrolled you in some things without telling you, but it wasn't really about this differential pricing because that's it.

There's a difference between dynamic pricing, and that's the terminology. So dynamic pricing, it changes based upon demand at the time and differential or surveillance pricing. Can I ask just an overview question? Yeah. How does this surveillance pricing differ from where people pay different amounts of money? From going into a car dealership and dickering about a car price and then coming up and down and going back and forth with the manager and coming back and forth and back and forth.

And so I pay $52,000 for the Chrysler and then you go in there and you really are good at it and you pay $48,000. Somebody else pays full ticker, ticker price of $60,000. How is that different? Well, there's a negotiation that took place. There's no negotiating and there's no way you can say I don't want to pay that other than I don't want the service. Don't you think there's a virtual negotiation going on?

Because, for example, the little kicker in that little report there, it said that people in affluent areas paid less. Because people in affluent areas, sometimes the reason people are affluent is because they're cheap. They're cheap. They don't buy retail. So the legalities, I have two clips. The legalities in the second clip.

First, let's define the difference between the two, which you kind of need to understand where it probably isn't legal, what they're doing versus your car dealership example. What is the difference between this type of surveillance pricing and some other examples and types of differential pricing that we've seen out there already like dynamic pricing? I think that the core element of surveillance pricing or personalized pricing is that it's based on data they have about you.

It's different from, you know, charging more for an umbrella when it's raining. It's different from Uber charging different prices at different times of day depending on the amount of demand for their cars. Although there have been allegations that Uber, for example, charges more to people whose battery is about to die. By the way, I thought that was phenomenal. And it makes total sense. Your Uber app is monitoring your battery level.

And if you're ordering an Uber and your battery is at 5%, they're going to jack your price up. Is that data available? Can anyone confirm that? Oh, absolutely. I mean, you just say, yes, I agree to all the things that this app can access. I've looked at those lists and I've never seen one about battery. Absolutely. All of them have a version of it to know if they need to go to sleep, should they be in the background.

They always ask you, can we have access to the photos and all the other bullcrap. Your address book. I've never seen anything about the battery. But OK, I mean, I'll go along with the idea because it is a good idea if you think about it. Let me just see. Let me see. I'm pretty sure. Well, I mean, that's the claim that's being made. We'll go with it. You don't have to. But if somebody out there. I've just never seen it.

Both Android and iOS have battery APIs that allow developers to see the current charge level, whether the device is plugged in or not. But then you'd have to give them permission for that. I've never seen it on the permissions list. It'll say, can we. App developers post in the troll room. Allegations that Uber, for example, charges more to people whose batteries are about to die and things like that. That would be personalized pricing.

Uber has denied that there can be very complex and sometimes subtle differences among the different types of pricing. And that can make it complicated. But at the end of the day, they have a lot more information about the way the world works, about how different people react to different pricing than any individual does. And they are seeking to use that advantage in information against individuals. OK, according to Gemini, I'm just going to take that because they're a Google shop.

Under the privacy rules for both Android and iOS, battery level is considered low risk information because it doesn't reveal your identity or your private files. The system allows apps to see it automatically without showing you a pop up. Does that answer your question? That answers your question. It doesn't answer my question. It answers my concerns. Oh, I'm glad you're going to be picky about language. So let's find out what's legal. All of this is legal, right?

And the corollary question to that is what regulations exist or should exist to put some guardrails around this practice? It's not totally clear that it's legal. There's it's a bit of a legal gray area. There are, for example, privacy laws, state privacy laws. This is California's that may have things to say about this and the way data is used.

There are civil rights laws that have to do with discrimination based on anything based on ethnicity, religion, age, gender, disability status could get a company in hot water if what they're doing starts to implicate those things. There are state consumer laws. And then there's the Federal Trade Commission, which has a charge to go after deceptive and unfair trade practices. And there could be claims that some of these fall into that. And in fact, the FTC has been investigating this.

They did an investigation, a report last January. And there's a Reuters report that they're looking at it again under the current administration. So if you're a business that are doing this, you are not necessarily on solid legal ground. Is there anything that consumers can do to protect themselves from the possibility of being targeted with surveillance pricing? Yeah, stop. Stop eating groceries. Stop. Just don't eat fruit. It's difficult.

I mean, at the end of the day, a lot of these are bigger than any one of us. They're social questions. For example, I mean, one of the big problems here is that so much data about us is being collected and flowing to the companies that give them advantages over us. And that's because Congress hasn't failed to pass an overarching privacy law, as almost all the other sort of advanced industrial countries have done.

That would cut off the flow of data at the source that is fueling this kind of strategy. But certainly you can do your best to hide your identity when you're searching for prices. You can do your best to protect your privacy and be aware of it and, you know, check and see whether people you know are getting charged the same price. So to answer your question, you are the answer to the question. How about this? You said don't eat fruit. You can eat fruit. Go to the store and buy the fruit.

It's the Instacart. It's all these people. Oh, I have everything delivered. I mean, come on. You want to stop this problem? Put your phone in a drawer. There it is. The attack vector is always the phone. All your information, all your behavioral information. The attack vector is the phone. That's a great phrase. That's it. But it is. It is the number one attack vector in all of our lives. When you scroll and you just pause, boom, another data point. Exactly. It's true.

When you see the puppy, you're like, oh, slow down. You see the cooking demo? Oh, you're perfect. You'll see millions of them. You'll get ads for cheese. Cheese. Grated cheese. You don't even have to grate it. It comes grated already. Just ads for cheese is what you get. Cheese. Cheese, man. I'm telling you. Cheese. It's all about the cheese. And just winding it all up, 15 seconds, because this is, along with your phone, this is attack vector number two.

Late today, the owners of TikTok signing a deal to sell the app to mostly American investors, including Oracle and Silver Lake. The sale has been in the works for months. Congress passed a law last year banning the app in the U.S. unless it was sold. President Trump has postponed the ban through a series of executive orders. From what I understand in the deal, they don't get the algo, which is, I don't know, the point of the whole thing? That would, well, eyeballs. They get the eyeballs.

Okay. So how much are eyeballs worth? Silicon Valley guys, they don't think of algos. They figure out we can do our own. This is the classic American thing. I remember this story. This is from years ago. Here we go. When Michelob was sold to Budweiser. It was a dark day. This is a long time ago. And so Michelob sold to Budweiser. It's a German beer, a very famous beer at the time. It was in the 70s, I think. Was it not the king of beers? No, Budweiser was the king of beers.

Oh. And so Michelob was a German beer with just a beautiful lager. And they sold it to Budweiser. And they said, we will send you our brewmaster so you can make it exactly the same. And the Budweiser people said, hey, we know how to make beer. Forget it. With rice. And that's exactly, yes. And so that's the way it is in Silicon Valley. We can do algos. Forget it. Well. So they don't need the algos. They just wanted the eyeballs. So it's Silicon Valley eyeballs.

Yeah. Well, I'd love to know a little more. Because this was such a, this was the number one deal months ago. Oh, everyone. Oh, China. China. Everyone, hair on fire. And now it's just, yeah, Larry Ellison bought it. Okay. We knew that. We know he's doing it for Mossad. We know he's doing it for the Jews to spy on us. I got a note from somebody. Hey, man, what do you think it feels like to be on the other end of those quips you guys are making? I said, do you even listen to the show?

What is he saying? What was that supposed to refer to? Well, he was hurt. Whenever I make a joke and say, well, it's for Mossad. You know, the Jews are in control. Which is obvious. I mean, this is what you said. You made such a good point. Satire and mocking should not be done. Sarcasm in particular. Sarcasm should just not be done. No, because people don't get it. No. And then they think that I'm serious about it. Yeah. You're a big pro Mossad guy.

Funny enough, I don't get any of those people with their name in brackets saying, yeah, you're right, Curry. They're not falling for it. So, I don't know. I guess it's me. That's true. It's funny. You're right. They're not falling for it. Those guys. Those guys aren't falling for it. Who you're mocking. Yeah. Yeah. They just keep posting in the troll room. Yeah, Curry. You're part of the problem. All right. Adam Sandler. Adam Curry. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Just noticing. Hmm. Adam. Hmm. Adam Carolla.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Just noticing. That's the term you got to use. I'm just noticing. I got no punchline here. You might as well just cut it. This is no punchline. All right. Off you go. Jake Paul. Off I go where? I've been waiting for Jake Paul. I mean, I saw the ads on Netflix. I saw the ads. I'm like, wow, this is the fight of the century. Let's watch a Christmas movie, because I'm not interested. So, Jake Paul, what goes out. Okay, this is going to be the clips before the break. Yeah, I think so.

got beaten up by a real heavyweight not an old guy or anything guys is pretty much just recently the guy was a head taller than him yeah he's monster and he was to two weight classes they had crack busted Jake Paul's jaw in two places knocked him through a loop oh no just basically put him in the hospital oh wow and so here's the here's a good kind of report I think this is from the BBC doctors have fitted youtuber Jake Paul with two titanium plates to fix his jaw which was

broken in two places they've also removed several teeth mr.

Paul sustained the injuries during a fight with two-time heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua last night in Miami the fight has been described by some as a dangerous stunt not least because of the height weight and experience difference between the two men it was streamed live on Netflix and was worth millions to both of them but I've been speaking to boxing journalist Gareth a Davis and he's been explaining why it was such a controversial bout boxing's

an inherently dangerous force I've covered it for 35 years people pass away and get killed in the ring and that was the fear for Jake Paul that the golfing experience in class was so enormous apart from the size as well because Jake Paul is a few weight divisions below Anthony Joshua that people feared for his safety and his health um look he got a beating he had his jaw broken he had some teeth altered by Anthony Joshua eventually beat him up in the sixth

round after marinating him for several rounds maybe carrying him a little bit as well so it was a one-off but Jake Paul's an anomaly Rebecca because he is an extraordinary young man with 70 million followers online and he wants to push the boundaries of things I say an anomaly because he was an athlete growing up and he's fallen in love with boxing over the last five years it was a horrible mismatch in many ways but for some reason for the modern audience it's

very compelling this yeah this is where we are in our culture this is where we're at and and you're wait a minute as you as you sound kind of like you're condemning it you are the one always advocating for public executions on television so let's make sure we remember that yes if I have the television deal right I can do if I can be the production with with Brunetti yes and I you're cutting me out of the deal already no no for nothing you're the announcer you're the talent ladies and gentlemen

okay now connected by thousands of megawatts brought to you by meta because we got to get a sponsor in there no matter or in video okay let's go with part part to Jake Paul say you know a lot of risks being taken by youtuber Jake Paul then but also risks for Anthony Joshua I mean he doesn't want to unnecessarily damage somebody you probably shouldn't actually be in the ring against him yeah there's that there's two sides to that as well with Anthony Joshua one

and some people have accused him of being embarrassed by Jake Paul but he was able to go five or six rounds with him last night here in Miami at the time no that was for the prop bets no doubt this this thing was rigged to the hill say sent to the home of my Miami Heat the basketball team because people were shocked that Jake Paul was able to be so elusive and Joshua missed him the debate is did Anthony Joshua take it easy on him till the fifth or sixth round when

Jake Paul got tired should we be allowing this kind of event I spoke to Robert Smith the Secretary of the Boxing Board of Control in the UK and he said he'd never have licensed it so there is a bit of criticism of the bout I believe that as myself as well I don't think this kind of mismatch should be allowed or sanctioned again I think this is a one -and-done as you say what does this do to the actual sport of boxing though the point is it sort of become exhibitionism

and actually away from the very technical nature of the sport of boxing Jake Paul was actually pretty good last night better than anyone thought it was going to be but overall I think it doesn't do a lot for boxing it did a lot for their bank balances they're both earns in the region of 50 million each last night I believe 50 million US dollars so it's extraordinarily big in business terms and it will be a huge audience on Netflix which is the bigger picture here by the way as well with what's

happening because of the resonance of 300 million subscribers to Netflix who are getting in the sports broadcast streaming business yeah Netflix deal yeah makes sense 50 mil Netflix well I wouldn't I would you get your jaw broken in two places for that kind of money I like cash flow well it would be flowing and that blood flow okay here's the kicker all right the funny thing is Jake Paul on his jaw broken last night and within half an hour he's in the hospital putting

pictures on Instagram of him in the bed and the kind of x-rays of his jaw being fixed almost like a trophy from something he had achieved on the night you know and tens of millions of people have viewed it on Instagram so we have to be careful about what the game is here hmm yeah it's all about the clicks the odds for Joshua to win in round six were 12 plus 1,200 is that a lot yeah that's that's well that's a ridiculous those that means you'd have to bet $1 ,200 to win one so it's Joshua round

one 250 round two 350 five nine hundred six twelve hundred and then go the distance right hmm so those odds are don't seem to be put up right correctly yeah but money maker whatever the case it was there was probably a yeah I think when you said prop bet there's probably some element of truth to that yeah you know let's do this and then we'll do that we get that besides getting if you it's not like 50 millions not enough no but let's get all of our friends in on this deal

let's just let's just face it Netflix is the king they figured it out they know what we degenerates really want we want this kind of blood with an influencer I mean can we get Candace Owens to get in the ring with somebody and get beat up that would be interesting to watch but people would flock to see that yes exactly you know I got a note from one of our producers who dated an assistant director who has worked on some of those Christmas movies I was complaining about yeah it looks like

the guys come out of gay porn yeah cuz the guys come out of gay porn according to this assistant director who this person dated the directors producers and some talent are indeed from the porn world we're cheap they well the problem was that they that this woman who worked as an assistant director hated it because the overall vibe on the set was dead dry and boring zero creativity yeah just like the category yeah they can't do dick I am with that I want to

thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea and carrying the water say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr.

John 1698 today on the trolls 1698 listening live to the best podcast in the universe you know people Jason Calacanis is now saying of the the all-in podcast is the best podcast in the universe he didn't say that yes he did that we should trademarked it yeah well you can say what he wants it this hurts it hurts his credibility because he listens to our podcast he knows it he knows the phrase I think he's saying it just to see if we're watching his podcast which of course I'm not but my spies

everywhere you know you might be correct my my mommy spies are every a lot of people like his podcast oh it's a very good podcast and he's he's well he's and he's clean-shaven he has a to see it's odd to see him with the big glasses and the clean yeah he looks like you know there was a he he look I I know it's gonna it's probably not gonna go over well with you but with him he probably might like this comment but it he looks a little like George Clooney no he does not yeah I saw Clooney

in one of his movies here when he went in that black-and-white film he had his hair pushed back flat and he just was roaming around doing some goofball thing he had likes to do and I looked at him I said that looks like Calacanis he looks Calacanis hasn't oddly looks enough like George Clooney that it's noticeable to me he looks like an accountant now like a CPA type dude with the glasses like I'm here to do your taxes I know we badgered him enough yeah what's that trick

I used to talk like this and he doesn't talk like that anymore now he's clear very clear and all that all this week there was on my timeline somebody somewhere said well Tom Green invented the podcast Tom Green what so that's off the wall because Rogan was on his pot on his video he was doing a video show from home or wherever he was and Rogan was like this I gotta be doing this you know that was kind of the spark but Joe Rogan has long long since confirmed where it came

from but it's just interesting how people like oh I was at WMAU in 1932 when we were putting up our WAV files on real audio we were podcasting before Curry came up with the name podcasting which I never came up with the name the whole the whole the whole thing is like you know it's skewed yeah yeah well people have just decided that a podcast is you know some people with cans on talking at a table that's a podcast on YouTube they don't the technology is no longer understood honestly you know

it's just not understood it's like and to be kind of fair about it I mean we did the the initial idea for the RSS feed with the enclosure was because we were on dial-up modems practically we you know well yeah we had ADSL we had kind of kind of always on computing the idea was your computer would download into the house yeah ISDN ADSL the early cable motors it what they weren't really fast it wasn't click and you get the experience right away but that was the whole genesis of it

so now but you know what people miss about it is that if you don't put it on RSS feed and distribute it that way you have no control and your audience can be eliminated from you and then you got to go cry that's the part that people are missing so I don't care I mean I was just there I I don't even think I invented it well I through God it was a gift from God to the universe I was just the guy well I know who invented podcasting it was you and everyone can you know make up any

story they want who cares it doesn't matter it was just interesting I'm working with the original the oh gee yeah oh gee yes that's the only reason by the way it's not because you like me because no no no it's just it's a business like it's attracted to the dollar signs how'd that work out for you but didn't work out as well as I'd hope but it's beside the point we have a good product outstanding product it's the best product in the universe people come on get with it so yes you

should be listening to this on a modern podcast that because I haven't stopped we continue to improve what is being done and I love that Apple is picking up on what we're doing they make no money off of it they really don't yeah yeah the lost leader it's good for him it's very good for them there you have to have a lost leader if you're in business yeah well they got it they got their lost leader congratulations Apple your money you're losing money because of me and John C Dvorak is making

money because of me there you go I'm your meal ticket baby did so get a modern podcast app one that does all kinds of cool things like listening to shows live when they're being podcasted when they're being recorded actually be a part of the live studio audience become a part of the troll room at no agenda stream calm and we did actually I think no one has ever questioned us on the value for value concept and I and we did name that value for value and we learned that because because we're

students of behavior this it's our own version of what was that term begging for money surveillance pricing this surveillance begging for my yeah you're right it's begging for money surveillance I got to say this so I'm getting I got it I do not understand why people don't understand the value for value concept and how it works I get it I got a thing from 404 media they said oh we got this that and the other thing you got all this new story for subscribers only it's like what do you mean for

subscribers only you know there's never been a moment where where journalism is is behind a firewall to such an extent as it is today you could all even when newspapers were out there and they cost 25 cents you could still go to the library and and the sparrow sticks they had these sticks with the newspapers on it yes the roll up sticks big giant stick and the newspaper would be and you'd read the newspaper that you free it was free it was always free

brought when television came into being it was always it was always designed to be free and people would say well I don't like advertising so they created public television and said no advertising just give us some money if you want to donate and it was the same it was that was the value for value thing it's like and that churches of course have been using value for value forever they don't charge you to go into the church you go and you want to hear a free sermon you can get it you

don't have to give him money but if you feel that was worth something you give him it's not a big deal and it's and it's a very common practice and it works and the fact that people put stuff behind firewalls especially journalists and I'm including Matt Taibbi in this he does it it's it's not right you know what I don't think I've ever told you this story but when Tina was first going to church here and then I was you know doing the show the same as I've always been doing it

but I'd like to get up at 7 o'clock and you know then do this prep and do the show and go through in one in one deal these days I get up early prep go to church come back prep and then we do the show but I would be watching it on YouTube and and so to me it was just I it was YouTube and I was seeing this YouTube stuff the whole time and as she come home we discuss it and then so eventually we have a dinner with Pastor Jimmy and his wife Damonette and the first thing that comes out of my mouth is

how Pastor Jimmy I love your show and he starts cracking up not like he says yeah I guess it is kind of Tina's like oh my god what did he just say I said yeah you start off you got your your worship team which is Christian for band then you got your promos because they got promos then you get your donation segment then you got your your deconstruction and they wind up with another song it's a complete show and yet they are the OG value for value and they just said hey

do you want to support us this is this is where it's going this is what we're doing this is what what happens with it and no one's holding a gun to your head you're absolutely right but we studied some of the big megachurches early on didn't we yeah yeah there was a guy who was a who put a book together I can't remember the name breaking the glass or something he had he tried to buy all the books back because it was too revealing and it was a megachurch it was that's

true and the it had all the tricks and every little thing you can do to get more money out of people and it was like wow these guys know what they're doing that the megachurch guys are no slouches no no no they've got a lot going on and they come in from all kinds of dimensions they're very talented at maintaining a big operation I always loved the guys like how's that one guy he's kind of icky yes like three jets and then you know some some girl right you're taking a Copeland

Copeland yeah so hopelessly the ickiest of the group yeah and some some journalist comes up and starts at the airport and he's like no I'll be I went to spread the gospel around the world I flew for 26 hours you know it's like I don't know I don't know that seems seems a bit much one of my favorite guys on this group is it was Robert Tilton another Texas preacher I've heard of him yeah Robert Tilton yeah yeah he's kind of disappeared he did a lot of he would he would he

would scrunch his face up and all kinds of weird contortions that's what you talk and it was just like wow you couldn't keep your eyes off him because he was always scrunching his face up and then he would just out of the blue while just saying whatever he was talking about go right into tongues yeah you're not supposed to do that in public well he does it did it all the time and he was very very entertaining character but he was he always seemed like a like a scammer like a lot

of these guys seemed like to me and but the one I still like the most I think in terms of it just his ability to do not that this is not boring people stiff with this discussion but but I still think Joel Osteen is one of the he's very successful but I think he's underrated he is I think he's incredibly talented guy you know what's interesting about him is he takes no money from the church he gets all his money from his books that what he says let's send our accountant Jason

Calacanis to investigate hey you'll see I'm here investigate she was showing always money floats anyway so that was a little discussion a little side street we took there on value for value we accept multiple versions of value for value turns out churches use this as well we didn't even know this when we said time talent and treasure I love it when people send me some some pastor just talk about time towns and treasure this guy must be listening to the show even though this

version going on for hundreds of years but I I didn't know it at the time when we came up with it so one of the ways you can support the show is with your time with your talent yeah you can organize meetups you can help us we have sir Donald Winkler stepped up he's doing a really nice Christmas special for us for a Thursday and he's he says I you know there's really been a lot of really nice discussions around Christmas on the show he says it's going to be very nice

and happy and friendly and I'm like I don't believe it I'll see it when I when I hear it so that's that's an incredible and he says you know I used to be able to donate a lot of cash but after kovat things got really tight and so I'm really happy I can support the show and that makes me equally as happy as anything how about you yeah I love I love the volunteerism aspect of the show it's fantastic such as the art which of course is the volunteerism of the of

these art machines that are cranking this stuff out with the prompt jockeys that are now consider themselves artists yes it's a fabulous new era so scaramanga set me know because he did an end of show mix for for the show and also a on X he put it he did a video for it which is always kind of cool it's like a bonus and he says no I got no problem with it he says I just feel like this scaramanga turn against us on the old no agenda social once before I think he this is he's this is his

personality BB BPD babe maybe he's doubling down he's doubling down no I don't think so I think apparently as a some kind of supermodel life which now it all makes oh now it makes sense right and makes me occupied he said maybe we should limit uploads to two or three says there's just too much slop I said that's we're not we can't limit how many no I'm upload the other thing the other thing he ignores since we're the art directors in this in this regard even though you know we're not technically

but yes we are technically yeah is that you want everything we you know it's like the photographer you know there's two kinds of photographers the guys always make the perfect shot and the guys who take 1,000 pictures called spray and pray and they just take a thousand pictures and they find one of you that looks good yeah we know we don't we there's no reason to limit if you want to submit a hundred pictures if there's a hundred the exact same picture don't do it but you know be judicious yeah

it was kind of I took it about like there's not a slight against us you think we know we're not telling people what to do no we're not telling people what to do ever that's our motto but you should support us with your cash yeah we tell them that yeah so Jeffrey Rhea did the artwork for episode 1826 we titled it the sauerkraut kid which is the German version of noodle boy and I couldn't argue with you on this one it was a pretty piece of AI no agenda curry Dvorak a

little microphone they're always so original little microphone and little transmitter waves but if you hate it yeah but it said give these guys a bonus and that little money bags and gold coins and yeah how could I argue with that it was our subliminal subliminal messaging give these guys a bonus yeah yeah exactly so we chose that we chose it over oh man there's already a lot up there's been doing a lot of comic book looking covers and yeah we kind of like Darren's

eggnog no agenda eggnog we did like the eggnog that was probably came in second yes it was a classic you like the the comic book the media deconstructionists comic book punk rock album work art yes I did like that I like the one next to it too I like all these comic book ones but they're not gonna and I you since you hate them to such a stream I said hanging up print it out and hanging on your wall if you like it so much man and I did but we did give a special mention to blue acorn for

the disappointed scaramanga walking away from his easel so yes that was cute it's on page two and we also had Jeffrey Rio with the razor blades in the bread yeah we didn't think that was a great connection to make with the show yeah we're putting razor blades in no yeah yeah it was a associative issue yeah people have to understand that a little bit what people did send me is because this came about as we were talking about they were talking about PC magazine

and photographers and they and so people sent me that wired picture where you were supposedly in a trench coat looking like some kind of spook that was done yeah that photo it's funny it's a good picture you know it's a great picture I haven't I hadn't give me a copy of it that was done with a infrared filter that coat was actually dark navy different color interesting it wasn't changed I mean because it was an infrared filter the whole shot was done with an

infrared hold on a second kids come over to your boomer uncles for a second back in the day we'd go out with the camera and we had something called a camera case and this isn't like a case that you put around your iPhone so if you drop it it doesn't shatter into a thousand pieces the case had things in it like extra film it had different lenses that you would click one lens off and click another lens on and it had filters which are these little pieces of glass I guess I

don't know what it was plastic glass and you would screw those on to the lens itself to get certain effects can you believe how analog the world was back then so that's what he shot and yeah it was a funny picture cute but that was that finally you that's the one we finally ended up with that was shot over at Golden Gate Fields by the horse park and that was after he tried to get me to jump stand on my head you know stick my tongue out all the other stuff that I say that you just refuse to do

and so I kept refusing to do everything until that picture came out but did that there's all kinds of ugly troll talk about you and Jolie Odell I'm just gonna have to look away Jolie Odell yeah I must look away from it they're saying horrible things what's Jolie Odell got to do with it nothing nothing and then of course the fabulous interview with it the hit piece that would turned out to be not a hit piece I got all that now I got all of I have I've been archived now of

Dvorak scandalous moments oh yeah hey that's why I'm working with you man so I can build up an archive of scandalous moments so congratulations to Jeffrey Rhea for bringing us the artwork now we already see a lot has been uploaded we appreciate everything that you do keep keep on prompting sometimes an actual artist pops up we do pay attention that so extra points if you do it noagendaartgenerator.com and we always want to thank everyone who

hoops No jumps no levels Just whatever you feel the show is worth to you According to your own budget Just send that back to the show That's how you keep it rolling knowagenthedonations.com Congratulations to these producers Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Order Order Man overboard Man overboard Shut up Man I just gotta I just gotta play this one clip Because it was so funny It's even better with video But you'll get the idea This

president just keeps on Entertaining as far as I'm concerned Sleepy divisive And a fan of a young Donald Trump These are just some of the descriptions To be found in a series of new plaques Affixed below the portraits Of all US presidents Including Donald Trump himself While the plaques may look like Many official markers They are written in the style of one of Trump's True social posts and contain His haphazard capitalizations And numerous exclamation points They

are the latest addition To Trump's presidential walk of fame Which he unveiled in September And contain many insults And unfounded claims About most of his predecessors Joe Biden who was referred to As Sleepy Joe And by far the worst president In American history Is still the only leader Not to have his portrait in a frame Instead a photo of an auto pen With his signature was used Barack Obama was deemed One of the most divisive political figures In American history While Ronald Reagan was

described As a fan of President Donald J. Trump Before President Trump's historic Run for the White House The White House confirmed the plaques Convey Trump's opinion The plaques are eloquently written descriptions Of each president and the legacy they left behind As a student of history Many were written directly by the president himself This installation Is just Trump's latest effort To remake the White House in his own image And reshape US history To his own viewpoint Well

that goes hand in hand With this clip then It's a massive troll He's actually embarrassing This is the Trump renaming the Kennedy Center Oh this is another good one Friday revealing the new Trump-Kennedy Center To the horror of the late President John F. Kennedy's Family JFK's niece Maria Shriver posting It is beyond wild that Trump would think Adding his name in front of President Kennedy's name Is acceptable Next thing perhaps he will want to rename JFK Airport Rename the Lincoln Memorial

The list goes on Democrats indicating action ahead We may not be able to stop it today Obviously The lettering is going up But let's just see how long that lettering Stays up Ex-officio members of the Kennedy Center board Said federal law established the center As a memorial to President Kennedy And prohibits changing its name without congressional action But Trump also moved ahead Rebranding the Department of Defense Without congressional approval We're signing an executive order today

So far no vote in Congress Making the Department of War official That change implemented worldwide Would reportedly cost $2 billion So By the way the Democrats After changing Ford Hood to some other name Changing all these Fords and then tearing down statues That was fine And by the way it was named by LBJ A year after he was assassinated Probably more like LBJ Like yeah I did that You know Okay The president has also been very busy with his pen No auto pen with

him The ensuring American space Superiority executive order This is a doozy Yes My administration will focus its space Policy We need a space policy on the show We do On achieving the following priorities Of course leading the world in space exploration Expanding human reach And American presence in space By colon Returning Americans to the moon Returning Returning Americans to the moon by 2028 Through the Artemis program To assert American leadership in space We're already there Lay

the foundations for lunar economic Development Prepare for the journey to Mars And inspire the next generation of American explorers Along with that Establishing initial elements of a permanent Lunar outpost By 2030 To ensure A sustained American presence in space And enable the next steps In Mars exploration This is fantastic Enhancing This is for Elon Enhancing sustainability and cost effectiveness Of launch and exploration Architectures including enabling Commercial launch services

and Prioritizing lunar exploration Thought we explored that thing already And then there's some Missile stuff by 2028 To kill everybody Ensuring the ability to detect Characterize and counter threats To the United Space Interests from very low Earth orbit And through Cislunar space Cislunar space S-C -I-S-L-U-N-A-R What is cislunar space?

I have no idea Is that like a white Asking a machine You have not talked to the robot for weeks I don't want to talk to the robot Situated between the Earth and the Moon Cislunar Well what is cisgendered then?

Between the Earth and the Moon Okay Yeah I've given up on the robot It takes too long for the robot to respond If the robot Could just, you know, you say hey robot And the robot says yes, yes master What can I do for you AI just doesn't do that yet It's not a great conversational partner So The Zeds are at it again Oh no, are they in Discord?

I don't know They don't say And they don't even mention it as though it was a Gen Z revolution or anything But it's going on A Zed uprising once again This time it's in Korea And they kind of soft peddled it I don't know exactly why And I'm not absolutely sure who's behind it I mean I still have to assume it's our intel people But I don't know But listen to this South Korea recently marked a year Since President Yoon Suk-yool's Failed martial law attempt While the country's new leader is

trying To move on from the chaos and division Mr. Yoon is finding new fans Amid disaffected young people Did young people Did young people Earlier this month thousands took to the street Calling for Mr. Yoon's release from prison And claiming that his martial law Was justified Our Seoul correspondent Jake Kwon Sent us this report Hmm, okay Well that's interesting This is against China So kids actually are going to the streets Saying get a politician out of jail That's how the Gen Z This is

that Korean president Who declared martial law if you remember It was during a couple years ago Yeah I remember it He goes nuts and declares martial law for some reason And they throw him in jail And now the kids want him out Because he was so loved by Gen Z Yeah It makes nothing but sense No it doesn't They try to explain it as best they can I'm standing in front of the iconic Gwanghwamun Gate where South Korean people Gather every weekend to protest And in front of me Are thousands of

people here Waving South Korean flag And waving a sign that says release Yoon Seok-yool And martial law was justified It really has this air of a festival Rather than a political rally One booth invited people To a mock presidential podium To declare martial law Like Mr. Yoon had done Last December In the middle of the night Mr. Yoon had put the country under military rule He had made baseless claims That Chinese spies have stolen past elections And that the opposition party Was complicit

When Mr. Yoon was eventually removed from the office And jailed It was considered his political death But now he has a new life Among these young people As a hero who opposed the Chinese takeover Hello Nice to meet you This is Park Joon-young The leader of Freedom University He and his group of far-right students Are behind these pro-Yoon, anti-China rallies Korean people's rights are being stolen Our sovereignty is at risk And the Chinese are coming in Without visa And crimes

are becoming frequent Their claims were refuted Over and over by the government The police stats show, in fact That the crime rate among Chinese Is lower than among South Koreans Oh, this has us written all over it Doesn't it?

The whole Trump agenda Lock the borders down These Chinese are coming Just replace Trenderagua Or Venezuelans or Haitians I can't wait until An actual Korean says These Chinese are eating the dogs That will be coming The victory comes close Their protests are more energized and provocative Than any other this country has seen In a long time Most people joined us because of a simple message Korea is for Koreans Today Park's message Spread through social media Is

drawing in young people Who share his suspicion on China I'm Lee Min-sung 27 years old There are times when I don't hear Korean on the street Even when I go to the corner store I only hear Chinese That really scares me Here in Seoul They wear red hats with the words Make Korea Great Again And if the American youth voters Swung over to bring back an impeached president Why not in Korea?

For years These people have held a deep grudge For what they saw as lack of opportunities And overbearing woke politics And when Mr. Yoon Named the enemy They signed up to fight See unlike you, I'm going to give you a full clip of the day for that Clip of the day You always give me like Weak like Borderline Oh I deserve it so much That was good Well that one was pretty good Because you caught you off guard You only give me clip of the day when it's something you never heard

about Well yeah that's why it's clip of the day Of course if I'd already heard about it Then I would be playing it before you Because I control the clips I'd be like I'm going to grab that clip of the day And then you wouldn't give it to me because I had that clip Yeah That's exactly how it works Without the voice So this is you're right This has got us written all over it It's pretty good And they got the hats Really Make Make Korea Great Make Korea Great They probably

Have it in Korean It probably has a different look to it I'd like to get by the way anyone Any Korean listeners I want the hat If it's in Korean Yes we want a hat So the Mo Prophecy strikes once again Mo's prophecy if you recall Was all of the DEI ladies Who were put up in important positions Yes set up to fail Set up to fail blamed for everything In this case I believe that DC's police chief Pamela Smith Probably was really Set up she is being accused Of Fudging crime

Statistics And so she's Resigning And then in her resignation she says no no I didn't change it they changed It insinuating that they are Blaming her and she Had quite a meltdown over It during her resignation speech Never would I Compromise my Integrity never would I Compromise 28 years In law enforcement For a few folk Who couldn't stand to be held Accountable And if I had to do it all over again I'd do it again So she Wait She pulls out the angry black woman As a methodology What is she nuts

Let's continue the clip I'd do it again So I'm going to the bible when I Say this to my haters F you The same folks Who said in that report That they changed their numbers And I did not The report is very clear I did not direct anyone You should investigate those folks So I tend to believe her But you made an interesting Point there when I heard And I had to listen to the clip Three times I'm like I have Heard this lady somewhere This is going to come across as

Very racist but no one will be able to Argue with me that this Lady doesn't sound like a different lady Never would I Compromise my Integrity never would I Compromise Everybody in Cleveland low minority Got Obama phone Keep Obama in president you know He gave us a phone Come on man it sounds a lot like You love that Obama phone girl Everybody in Cleveland low minority Got Obama phone Keep Obama in president you know He gave us a phone I got the note from

our Female black producer she's like Do you only play black women when they're mad I'm like well It's the funniest we play the funniest Clips and said how about Nicki Minaj I'm like send me a link She didn't send me a link anyway I just saw that Nicki Minaj Was on stage at America Fest with Erica Kirk I'll get some clips For the next show Nicki Minaj is She's got her head on straight man It's very surprising she's taken I think she Can be an important part of the movement In America

for the young Kids she got something going on She's been like I said Last show she's been a Republican for a while She voted for Romney We have to remember that Romney sucks Let me hear that lady again I love her Everybody in Cleveland low minority Got Obama phone He gave us a phone She doesn't have the Romney sucks in there I gotta get the Romney sucks part Anyway Another mo prophecy coming True as far as I'm concerned I always thought it was a good prophecy Let's go talking about Angry black

women Let's go to the Minnesota That's right Hakeem Jeffries is the guy Angry black woman Here's the Minnesota fraud Two clips and one of them I think the second clip when Hakeem Jeffries comes out Is hilarious but I kind of have to agree The chairman of the house oversight committee Is warning he may issue subpoenas If he does not get cooperation From Minnesota officials Over the billion dollar taxpayer fraud scheme In that state Officials say this could just be the tip of the iceberg

Across the country Chairman James Comer says Minnesota's governor And attorney general have provided only Minimal responses so far Here's congressional correspondent Bill Malush They got nothing to run on Except complain about this So you complain at me You bring it at me but I'll have it fixed And then we'll see how you talk about it Minnesota governor Tim Walz defiant today As house republicans accuse him and Minnesota Attorney general Keith Ellison Of stonewalling their investigation In

a widespread Somali social services Fraud in the state Well they're not cooperating with us They're acting like there was no scandal And if there were a scandal They didn't have anything to do with it Oversight committee chairman James Comer Tells Fox Walz and Ellison's initial Response to the committee's questions Was quote anemic Providing no substantive information On how Medicaid is paid out In the state We're going to start bringing people in We're going to start subpoenaing

people We're also going to be looking at bank records That's my favorite way to conduct an investigation On Thursday the U.S. attorney in Minnesota Announced that at least half of the 18 billion dollars paid out by Medicaid To Minnesota run programs May have been fraudulent With at least 14 programs exploited The magnitude of the fraud in Minnesota Cannot be overstated Staggering amounts of money Yeah I've been Following this and reading some of it It's pretty

brazen Particularly the autism fund You know Basically they were setting up Autism What is it Therapy stuff And just grab some Grab some Somalis Hey kid go like this You're autistic in you go And they just took the money Yeah They were taking money left and right For countries Whose average IQ in Somalia Is 65 Well there you go they qualify These guys are pretty smart for 65 About taking money I think there's Some scammish underlying thing Going on here but Of course the

Democrats are all Yeah they're fine these Somalians are great Yes they're great House Republicans are expressing Outrage about the fraud on social media Pointing the finger at Governor Walz But House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries isn't impressed With Chairman Comer or his Committee's probe of Minnesota's leaders Do you think they should cooperate With the committee's investigation and do you have concerns About what's happening in the state James Comer is

a joke An embarrassment An unserious individual And a malignant clown So clearly there's still some bad blood there Between Comer and Jeffries after a dispute About the Epstein files last month As for the Minnesota fraud Congressman Comer tells Fox that he is prepared To subpoena Governor Walz to come in And testify before the House Oversight Committee If Walz doesn't cooperate With their investigation Brett Bill sometimes these things take time What's the next step So you heard

Congressman Comer talk about Wanting to get those bank records he said specifically What he's looking for are things called suspicious Activity reports he wants to try to track What if any money was sent From Minnesota back to Somalia Who was sending it who got it How much of it was taxpayer dollars Alright we'll follow it Bill thank you But will they be able to nail Walz is the question They won't be able to nail anybody If Comer's involved this is where I agree with

Jeffries He's a joke Yeah I mean what happened to Hunter Biden's laptop We're going to connect the Biden Crime family because all I get The bank records and so what he's a big banker Oh so look at this the money's coming From here to here to here to here And here it is it shows that there's a bunch of Corruption going on they're just stealing money left And right and what Then so I mean it's just at some point you have to Be annoyed with certain people that just talk A big
