1833 - "Spicy Mode"

Berlin, stop rubbing your ATMs. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, January 11th, 2026. This is your award-winning GiveOnNation media assassination episode 1833. This is no agenda. We're all DeBruyner now, and we are broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, we're watching the fall of civilization. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's a crackpot on Buzzkill. In the morning.

Well, I don't know about that, but it is definitely Dimension A and Dimension B back on deck, as if it ever went away. Yeah. Yeah. So they're lined up in, uh, last night, or the night before, whatever, in Calgary to sign the petition to separate. Yeah, they expected a small event, and thousands of people showed up. Here's the problem I have with it. I thought this was already on the ballot. I have no idea. What do they, what do they want? They want independence? Yeah. What do they want?

No justice, no, no peace? No oil, no, what was it? No, no something, no oil, no, I don't know. I didn't hear it. Forget the oil one. I didn't hear it. No justice, no oil, or what is the one with the oil? There's a bumper sticker. Did, did we have a chant? Did we have a chant? Would have. Alberta splitting off? I don't think so. I don't think there was a chant. I don't think so. Maybe a chance. A chant. A chant. No, no. A chant? No, they're Canadians? Just a complaint. It's just a complaint.

There's no chant. Where's our chant? We're not gonna chant at all. Man, this is so tiring. When the quad swings. What, what, which of, what column are you looking at? Well, I'm looking, I'm looking at all, I'm looking at the quad screen. That's all kind of the same. What happened just as a, maybe a smaller side. Let me just play. This was, this was, I couldn't get any, of course, I mean, because it's all Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis, Minneapolis.

By the way, between, in Oakland, between January 1st and January 5th, there were five murders. None of it covers, no protests. I think Chicago's already had 13, 13, 14 deaths. Who cares? You know, they're black. Who cares about those black people? They're black. They're black. Who cares? No, this is, this story, which Carolyn Levitt posted or retweeted from an interview that was translated from something in some, some, I guess it was Spanish.

And of course, there's not a single report that I could find on it this morning. So I had to go to the well, to WION, because they're always on top of the news. The alleged witness account was also shared on social media by the White House press secretary. In the interview, the guard allegedly described how U.S. forces use technology unlike anything he has ever seen. He said that all their radar systems shut down without any explanation.

It was followed by a lot of drones flying over their positions. He claimed that a helicopter arrived moments later, deploying what he estimated were just 20 U .S. troops into the area. But he said that these few men came armed with something far more powerful than guns. The guard claims that the U.S. troops shot with precision and speed. He said, and I'm quoting, it felt like each soldier was firing 300 rounds per minute.

At one point, U.S. troops launched another weapon, according to the guard's account. It was like a very intense sound wave. And he felt like his head was exploding from the inside. He claimed that the Venezuelan side started bleeding from the nose, while some were vomiting blood. They were unable to move. An estimated 100 Venezuelan security forces were killed in the January 3 attack. The White House press secretary, Caroline LeVette, has shared the account on social media.

However, the White House has not confirmed whether the administration was verifying the veracity of the eyewitness account. Now, I have the clip that triggered all this. And I think this is almost word for word what she stole from this guy. This is the Maduro security guard's second half. And I noticed it says second half. He wanted to bring it in second half of show. Yeah, I didn't expect you to drop it at the beginning. Well, it's it's it's second half of show material. I disagree.

For 18 years, I've been talking about directed energy weapons. Yeah, OK. Yeah, they had a beam. It's called LRAD. But OK, you know, you can mock me all you want. I'm not blocking you. I'm just saying. Mocking, mocking. I didn't say block, mock. Oh, I'm sorry. I normally block. Yeah, well, that's that's your go to. That's my style. That's your go to. I normally just block. Someone literally sent me a forward from from a reject from your email server. It said suspicious. Blocked due to suspicion.

Yeah, there's a lot of that. That's good. This is OK. Anyway, this is this came floating around. This is passed around the net. I don't know where Carolyn got it, but the WIO and person obviously, they just took this verbatim. Everyone did the ones that did it. It came it came from an interview that is in Spanish. Yeah. And this is the guy who did the interview. A security guard that was protecting Maduro has spoken and you got to hear what he said. It's in Spanish, but I'll translate.

Also, Trump announced that, you know, the cartels, they're going after him in Mexico. The whole vibe of Latin America has changed because of what happened in Venezuela. And now that we're getting firsthand accounts from people, they were there. The soldier says they didn't hear him coming. He says the Americans had technology superior to anything they've ever seen. Everything that they were using for radar, for anything was completely taken offline.

They had drones and the drones were taking out bases and taking out things faster. They didn't have no technology. They've never had to fight against drones. He also talks about that there was only eight helicopters. There was only 20 men that were sent in and those 20 men killed hundreds of their men. And none of those soldiers were injured. He talks about, it felt like they were firing 300 rounds a minute. Nothing they've ever seen, nothing that they can compete with.

And then he also talks to the fact that the Americans had some kind of sonic shock boom that was sent out and everybody immediately started bleeding profusely out of their nose. They couldn't even gather themselves because whatever was sent at them, made them fall to their knees and vomit blood out of their mouth and out of their noses. They were incapacitated immediately. He says he never wants to fear, never wants to go through that again.

Doesn't want to have to fight with the Americans again. He's sending warnings to everybody out there that you think you can fight the Americans. You don't even know what their weaponry is like and what they're capable of. 20 men took out hundreds and that's starting to spread all through Latin America. And now they're not saying, if you want me, come and get me anymore. They're like, oh shit. Especially after Trump says, hey, Mexico, you're on the list too.

So you put the second half because you don't believe it? You're right. I don't believe it. I mean, it's not that we don't have this sort of weaponry, but I don't think it was necessary. And I think it's just to scare the hell out of these guys. I think it was planted. That's possible, but it's about time we had this technology. I mean, they've been experimenting with it long enough. Yeah, no, I agree. And I think we should use it on Minneapolis. Let's see it in action.

That would be a practical use. Let's see it in action, man. But more interesting maybe to me is 300 rounds a minute. I mean, that's five rounds a second. What barrel melting device is that, that you can hold in your hands? And how do you even, it has to be a belt or a really big magazine. That actually sounded kind of odd, but LRAD, that's real. I mean, they have been experimenting with it for a long, long time.

And remember, we had the, maybe that was what we were experimenting on our own people in the embassies, everyone getting sick. That's possible. I'm just doubting the whole thing. Well, we'll see. Including the 300 rounds a minute. And it's too much opportunity to hit your own men with this stuff. I mean, there's 25 guys. Why can't you just believe that we're awesome? You're anti-American, man. I think we're pretty awesome. This is American ingenuity.

Actually, if you think about it, it's an awesome thing to do, which is to create a bullcrap narrative that... It just doesn't seem like Carolyn Leavitt would do that. It just doesn't seem like she... No, I don't think she had anything. I don't know. She may have been freelancing. She doesn't, maybe she was part of it, part of the scheme to just frighten the

enemies without having to shoot a shot. Maybe, maybe. Perfect CIA material. They like to do that kind of thing. Yeah. Well, remember, they had the cancer gun. They showed that in what, 1979 or something during the hearing about MKUltra. Yeah, the church hearings. Yeah, the church hearings. Yes. Remember, they had the cancer gun. They held it up. Look at this thing. We shoot you with this. No, it was a heart attack gun. I'm sorry. The heart attack gun.

Yeah. No, but you know, hey man, if we can go to the moon, why wouldn't we be able to do this? Yeah, your point well taken. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I know, I'm slowly getting you. Slowly, slowly, slowly. I'm bringing you to the did not land side. Eventually, you'll get there. Once they get to the math of the stuff they destroyed, maybe. So, do you want to talk about Venezuela or do you want to like jump on? Do I have Venezuela clips? Oh, I got tons of Venezuela clips.

I'm not so much about Venezuela, but about the big meeting. And my buddy was there at the big meeting. The big meeting of all the oil dudes. Oh, I have an oil saga clip. Well, let me play the opener, just a positioning clip. President Trump today meeting with oil executives at the White House just hours ago. After the U.S. military seized another oil tanker linked to Venezuela. New video from U.S. Southern Command showing the seizure of that tanker in the Caribbean. The third one this week.

U.S. troops were pulling down ropes from a helicopter and then taking control of that ship. During his meeting with oil executives, the president saying that he wants quote total access to Venezuela's oil. All of the companies here today are going to be treasured partners in bringing the nation of Venezuela back to life, restoring its economy and generating great wealth for their companies and for their people and also great wealth for the American people.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has now sent a delegation to Venezuela in a first step toward restoring diplomatic relations after the capture of Nicolas Maduro. So the video was kind of interesting. I saw our guy there. It's not the oil baron himself. It's the oil baron's partner was there. So I saw him and he basically went. I think the president asked him. So what do you think about Venezuela? And he went, yeah, a lot of shale there. He didn't say we're going to go right away, Mr. President.

But in the video, Tucker was there. You see Tucker standing around in that meeting? That's interesting. No. Yeah. Now, it's even more interesting that the word on the street is he actually had a private lunch with the president and then the president said, hey, come on, hang with these oil guys. So there's some reason for that. Well, of course, you know, Tucker's Team Trump. He's just he's doing his thing, whatever he's been told to do, I presume. I presume. OK, so what you got?

Well, I got a couple of I got three clips. For one thing, I just started this mild clip. You know, they have a this is a Venezuela guy in Venezuela. And this is the report for I went to Al Jazeera to get a bunch of stuff. Because if you want anything, you got to go outside the M5M USA. Yeah, because all they're talking about is that woman in Minnesota. And I just thought it was interesting that they actually have boots on the ground in Venezuela, a guy floating around reporter.

We don't have anybody. Where's our people? Where's ABC, CBS and CNN? Roaming. That's a good point. We don't I don't think I don't think I've seen a single report from any of our big networks. I see another two or four. Oh, you don't go. I don't want to go there. I'm going to get killed. So we have to. I don't know about that. So this I do. I think it's a budget thing. This is because there's no money. Oh, well, there's that, too. Yeah, whatever we got to do. We got to do this.

And then you might be stuck there for a couple of days of hotel costs. Oh, yeah. Save your credit card receipts. Oh, wait. Yeah, OK. So here's the Venezuelan reporter from Al Jazeera. Is there a report? Venezuelans have endured decades of financial hardship. But after Washington's promise to roll back oil sanctions, there's cautious optimism for an economic turnaround. Norris Soto reports now from the capital, Caracas.

Venezuela has the world's largest known oil reserves, and yet its economy has been plunged into uncertainty. For millions, life has become a daily struggle. Ana has lived through years of crippling sanctions, shortages and inflation. While many others left, she chose to stay. She holds on to the days when the local currency was worth something and her dreams felt possible. The hardest part of starting a business in Venezuela is economic instability. We work based on the U.S. dollar.

If we had a stable currency, everything would be less difficult. Well, how about a stable coin for you? It's coming. It's coming. And I'm telling you, stable coin is floating around now here. Now, this is the ones that got my attention, these clips. This is. If you remember, we played a clip from Rubio last show about the three step stages. Yeah, there's three stages of what they're going to have to do. First, you got to do this thing and do that. And this is one of the stages.

And this is the Venezuela. They're already releasing prisoners. Oh, there you go. Right groups say Venezuela's government has released another group of prisoners. They're urging authorities to free more detainees. The release has been a long held U .S. demand and comes less than a week after former President Nicolas Maduro was captured by the U.S. About a thousand political prisoners are believed to be held in jails across Venezuela. Yeah. Big news in the in the Jesus world.

Everyone's talking about the pastors they released, supposedly. Yes. Well, they're doing that. That's not being covered by our media. 800 pastors were released from jail. No. Well, it's it's covered by like the 700 pastor media. Which I don't follow. Pastor News Network, PNN. I follow it. I follow it. So, yeah, you would. So and then there's this little gem, which is another kind of an interesting gotcha. This is the Venezuela oil saga. Continues clip.

President Trump has moved to tighten U.S. control over revenue from the sale of Venezuelan oil. An executive order aims to prevent legal claims on the funds by putting the money beyond the reach of the courts. The administration says the purpose is to ensure economic and political stability in Venezuela and to curb illegal immigration. It says the money will be the property of Venezuela, but will be held in U .S. treasury accounts.

Mr. Trump signed the order after meeting with more than a dozen oil executives at the White House in an effort to raise 100 billion dollars in investments to fix Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Wait a minute. So it's being put into treasury accounts. Owned by Venezuela. That Russian money in the EU, anybody? That's interesting. Of course, I thought so.

Of course, that's the perfect way to say, and now we're going to put some, you know, we'll sell you some T-bills and then we'll give Venezuela some T-bills for your money. No, we'll give them the stable coin backed by T-bills. Well, they can do that. Yes. That's coming. But the whole thing to come. The whole thing about the, about now we're not, because Trump is fearful. He's like with good reason of all these liberal judges. Oh, yeah.

Oh, they just slam the hammer down and say, no, now you got to return the money or whatever. I ain't got the money. They've got the money. Some judge is going to get Maduro out of jail and he'll probably go, no, I don't want to go. It's dangerous out there. I like it in here. Don't let me go. I did read that J.P. Morgan, I guess J.P. Morgan has a couple of banks or a couple of, what do you call them? Banks. Banks in Venezuela? Could be.

Yeah. So everybody's in on this and they're not telling us the whole story, which is too bad. I did come across an interesting article about New York representative Richie Torres, who has proposed a law. Let me see. Let me see the exact. I don't think they have a name for it.

Oh, yes. The Public Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026, because he says, I don't think it's OK if it were to be that way, that anyone inside the administration can make money on the exact timing of the invasion. Four hundred thousand dollars. That's good. Yeah. Because, you know, that was probably Jared. He said, watch this. Jared would be the smartest one to do that. He would. And then what are you going to do? What's going to happen? Hey, if only we had an inside track.

Where's our boots on the ground? Come on, people should have let us know. Here's Vice President Vance debunking the the fake fake Bloomberg story. Which we reported on on the last show, and we immediately said, we don't know, but it was Bloomberg. You think Bloomberg would have some. Did it actually come from Bloomberg? Are we sure? I got it from Bloomberg. So Bloomberg reported on it. Yeah, here it is. I've heard a couple of things.

One that I was kept out of the planning for the Venezuela operation. That's false. And another that Tulsi was kept out of the planning for Venezuela operations. That's completely false. We're all part of the same team. And one of the things that is really amazing about that operation is that we kept it very tight to the senior cabinet level officials and related officials in our government. And we kept this operation secret for a very long time. I'm very proud of that.

I think it suggests that the team works very well together. Looking ahead, what is my role? Look, my role is going to be whatever the president asks me to do. Well, every single, or I should say every other day, I'm chairing the meeting that we do on this among White House principals to talk about next steps. He kind of let something loose there every day. I mean, every other day. So they have a meeting every other day. It's a staff meeting.

Well, every single, or I should say every other day, I'm chairing the meeting that we do on this among White House principals to talk about next steps to try to ensure that Venezuela is stable. And as the president has directed us to do, to ensure that the new Venezuelan government actually listens to the United States and does what the United States needs it to do under our country's best interests. So I'm going to be as involved as the president wants me to be.

So far, that's been very involved. And I'll keep on doing that so long as the president asks me to do it. Yeah. You know, I think all of this is really everything, including the sonic weapon. I think it's all meant to intimidate the drug cartels. People have no idea. The drug cartels have better weapons than most of these South American countries have in their military. There's so much money in this. It's hard for people to fathom how much money really goes around in the drug networks.

And I hope it's tax free. Oh, yeah, it's tax free for sure. So this morning on Face the Nation, Margaret Brennan had our Secretary of Energy Chris White on the show, and she actually spoke about the three point plan of which was one releasing the prisoners. OK, so Secretary Rubio said there's a three point plan, stabilize, rehabilitate, transition. This sounds indefinite.

Even when you heard some of those oil executives, Chevron's leadership, they're already in Venezuela, we should say, said it'll take 18 to 24 months to even increase oil production by 50 percent. So how long is this American involvement? Because he's saying there it's at least a year and a half, two years. They've been there for 100 years and likely Chevron is going to be there 50 years from now. But the United States government, how long does that role continue?

You heard the third part of Rubio's question, which is transition. We want to bring a representative government to the people of Venezuela. I think then you'll see the full sovereignty back to the government of Venezuela. We don't have a legitimate government of Venezuela today. We'd like to move and get there. But America's there as a timeline. Twenty five years this country's gone in decline. Yeah, President Trump out of the box creative intervention has allowed us to change the game.

But I don't know the timeline of that. It's not weeks. It's more months. Could be a year or two. Could be more. Whatever, we're working on it. Of course, way before CBS got into the Citgo deal, which we pegged immediately, Paul Singer, huge, huge Trump donor who completed his acquisition of Citgo in December. Maybe it was his prop bet. That came up in the conversation. So back in November, a U.S. judge backed a bid by an American hedge fund to purchase Citgo Petroleum.

The Treasury still has to approve that deal. The hedge fund is actually run by a big Trump donor, Paul Singer. Boom. Do you want to preserve? Come on, Barry Weiss. If you're going to listen to us for your stories, just give us some credit. Hedge fund is actually run by a big Trump donor, Paul Singer. Do you want to preserve Venezuelan ownership of Citgo? Do you want to have America have a financial stake in it? Trump bought a big portion of Intel company.

Do you want to own portions of oil companies? Again, that's going to be up to American businesses. That's certainly a very real possibility. The Citgo sale is part of bringing redressed accreditors of the United States for the Venezuelan government. And of course, one of the capital providers in that transaction is a hedge fund provider. There's lots of American investors and American refining entrepreneurs that are involved in that.

So to take Venezuelan-owned refineries that are in the United States and legally, through an auction process, transfer them to American owners and American entrepreneurs in the refining business, I think that's fantastic. It's pretty contentious what's going on here because the president's asking basically to help put the shale producers in America on their back foot, if not out of business to some degree.

Because if he's, you know, depending on what price they sell this oil for, market prices, you know, that basically hurts the shale producers. They're all like complaining. The oil barons, like he's happy for America and for Venezuela, but he's not happy about his business, to which I say, oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. One plane less. One plane less. He's going to burn me for that comment. Probably. Nah, it's OK.

But even the shale producers, you know, they say, hey, if you pay us, we'll go and we'll explore. We'll go see what's going on. So now it comes down to, all right, is all that money going to Venezuela? Are you going to pay us to go and explore some stuff? Because no one's really too, like, jumpy about it. It seems even just looking at, because I watched that whole session with the president, you know, besides the cordialness of, oh, Mr. President, you're awesome.

It didn't seem like everyone was like, yeah, this is great for us. No. Then, of course, there's the question of corruption. There's concern about corruption here, though. Will there be Americans installed on these boards? And how do you respond to these allegations that some Trump donors are going to get preferential treatment? I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. Absolutely not the case. That means it is. Sounds to me like it's completely the case. Totally the case. Wow. So what?

Me, yeah, me protested a bit too much. I can assure you, absolutely. Are going to get preferential treatment. I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. And he even has a laugh tale in there. What a loser. Listen to him. I can assure you that is absolutely not the case. Absolutely not the case. Think of what President Trump has done for the American oil and gas industry. He's driven down the price of oil. He's dramatically- There's an oversupply of oil.

And now you're going to put more on the market. Exactly. That's not good for American oil and gas companies. It makes it less profitable for them to actually go and invest in drill baby drill. Exactly. Democrats and President Biden are fantastic for American oil and gas companies. He listens exactly to whatever she says. But what he's saying- It's a good bit. Yeah, but what he's saying here is exactly what the oil baron has always told me.

He said, I love that President Trump is our president, but it's really bad for my business. He says, Democrats are good for the oil business. Republican presidents are bad. All you have to do is look at the day Joe Biden was elected and look at- Go some- Anyone can go back and do this. Look at the day Joe Biden got in office and look at this at the same time. Look at the stock chart for Exxon. Oh, huge- To the moon. To the moon! That's not good for American oil and gas companies.

It makes it less profitable for them to actually go and invest in drill baby drill. Exactly. Democrats and President Biden are fantastic for American oil and gas companies because they try to restrict the supply to something that's essential to life, which only has one possible impact, which is to drive up prices and grow profitability. So President Trump is no helper to the oil and gas industry. And certainly, there's no corruption, preferential placement of people. There's none of that.

I can assure you of that. I'm in the center of this. How are you going to decide the contracts? Is the treasury going to approve the Citgo dominance there in that? That went through a large auction to buy - Are you going to bring to Congress the decisions you're making about which firms get assets? Absolutely. That was an auction open to all American firms. There were many bidders, including the coalition of bidders you mentioned.

We want those assets to get as much money as possible, to go back to the creditors of the Venezuelan government. And we want American refinery assets- Who are the creditors? Oh, that would be the oil companies. We want those assets to get as much money as possible, to go back to the creditors of the Venezuelan government. And we want American refinery assets owned by Americans. They're going to increase the throughput, drive down the price of gasoline in America.

By the way, Citgo is pretty small. They're a small player compared to the other big boys with the refinery. Citgo is pretty small. So, it's not a huge deal, but it was nice for his buddy. I think the president, he knows exactly what's going on. He talks a big game about drill, baby, drill. Everyone's saying no, no, no. Our shale returns are diminishing. So, I think the only way to really do it is to give everybody a little taste, a little piece of the action, and set up shop over there.

That would be the future. It's just not in the shale from everything I understand. There's a lot of product you can get from this heavy crude that you can't get from shale. Oh, yeah. No, it's great. And what's interesting is this, I think this directly has also affected Iran, which seems to be a little less than the video might show. I talked to Lex yesterday, you know, his wife Fariba.

She has her mom and her sisters live in Tehran, although they haven't been able to talk to him because the phones have been cut off, not just the internet, but phones in general. And he says, yeah, you know, if you stay inside, you're going to be okay. It's not all over the country yet. It's definitely real. And he says, there's no leader. There's no one who stood up and said, this is it.

But the reason why this affects Iran is because of these ghost ships, where in essence, or in reality, Venezuela and Iran were swapping oil. Because Iran, doesn't Iran have light crude, the sweet stuff? If you're set up to refine heavy crude, that's what you do. I don't believe they were swapping oil. That's what I've heard. That's exactly what they were doing. Yeah, but why? What would be the point? Well, they don't have, I don't know. You know what? I don't know. I don't know enough about it.

But this is what I've understood is that Iran was sending their light over. Venezuela has no ability to, or very little capacity to refine the heavy stuff. That's all done here. So low output on refinery. But anyway, it's all the drug. It's just drug money. Oil is drug money. Hey, I got some drug seller, put it in oil, ship it over the year, ship it over there. It's just like a really slow Bitcoin. Moving all over the seas. It's crazy.

This stuff I've never, I mean, we were always into pipelines. But now you see these ghost ships and everybody pumping it from one ship to another, painting new flags, new name, new transponder codes. You know, and a lot of American companies I think are involved in this. It's not just like the Russians did it and the Venezuelans and the Chinese. There's American corporations involved in this stuff. There's money to be made. There should be. It's literal money. I mean, it's all arbitrage.

It's amazing. It's dirty, but it's an amazing business. Really? So what do you have in Iran? Because, you know, so that's, I have a couple of other boots on the ground, but that was the main one. I have the Al Jazeera clips, which I thought would be interesting. Okay. Might as well start with those. Iran one and two AJ. Iran's government is intensifying a crackdown on protests against a severe economic crisis, which are now into a second week. More than 200 people have been arrested.

Rallies are taking place in towns and cities across the country, with demonstrators setting fire to buildings. The attorney general has warned that those involved in the unrest could face the death penalty. Well, a nationwide communication shutdown has been in place since Thursday, but some people are managing to post videos of the rallies online. Protests began over the soaring cost of living and plunging value of the local currency. Al Jazeera's Tahir Asadi has more from the capital, Tehran.

It's now two weeks we have been witnessing protests across Iran in different cities, including here in the capital. The unrest flared up into violence in several locations, leaving fatalities and injuries, both from protesters and security forces. Arrests are reported, even though when it comes to numbers, we don't have any confirmed information. The protests actually started in the economic hubs, such as the Grand Bazaar, against the country's worsening economic situation.

It quickly spread to other cities. Parking rallies initially scattered, but now in more cities we see it's going on. The state response started by recognizing the right of people to peacefully protest. But as the situation started to escalate, the state has been trying to draw a line between protesters and what the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei called saboteurs, against whom he said the Islamic Republic will not give in. Yes, it's the big Satan doing it. It's America. Stop it.

Stop doing it. Yeah, they finally got around to blaming us and Israel. I'm actually shocked that it started to get covered by our PBS, for example. I have a clip. I have a total of four here. By the way, there's another. That was another guy from Al Jazeera on the street in Tehran reporting, you know, reporting as opposed to our NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN people. Where are they? There's not one of them on the street in Tehran.

So they're just making it up and, you know, just kind of giving us glossing over everything. Well, there's no there's no benefit to the intelligence organization. So there's so why would they go? They had there's no safe house for them. There's nothing. Here's part two of that report. The Supreme National Security Council of the country called it a joint American-Israeli plot to destabilize the country.

As the security measures have tightened off, the Internet shutdown, which started on Thursday night, continues. And international calls are severely restricted. It's happened following the escalation of protests in the capital the same night, as we saw many protesters taking to the streets. And the mayor of Tehran said government buildings, banks, mosques, public transportation vehicles and medical centers were damaged. Several protesters were arrested.

Also, speaking of the latest developments, the government unveiled a subsidy scheme, which includes a monthly payment of around seven U.S. dollars to citizens available from today for the lower income classes who are struggling to cover daily essentials these days. Public dissatisfaction exists whether or not people take to the streets.

And many here are now watching to see how the government will respond, not just to the protests, but to the economic hardships that they are facing in their daily lives. You know, there's this narrative out on the Internet, and I see it in the troll room as well, that, you know, it goes like this. This isn't about oil. It's about the petrodollar. Well, let me tell you, the petrodollar, actually, our deal with Saudi Arabia ended. We didn't end like a year ago.

The 1971 deal, you price it in dollars and we'll protect you. That actual agreement ended. And the petrodollar is over. I mean, everyone's already trading in their own currency. That's why the stable coin gambit is being set up. So don't worry about the petrodollar. It's just it's not it's not a thing anymore. People, it's. So we have they shut down the Internet, but there was, according to Grok, which would know. I asked about Starlink.

And and it would know because it's Starlink's part of the Grok, the Grok empire. The Grok, Musk, Grok empire. Dave's over 10,000, maybe 20,000 terminals have been snuck into the country. They're illegal. And Musk returned. Iran was blacked out from the Starlink system. Yeah, but Musk, Musk turned it back on. Well, let's just remind everybody how that works. Elon turns it on and you get six months free. After that, you got to start paying for it. That's exactly what he did in Ukraine.

Yeah, well, he's he's also said it's free. Yeah. And so now free with card. So they got free. And meanwhile, and then because somebody, one of our producers, it is bull crap. This is not a grassroots because otherwise anyone on about the lack of Internet. And once you get the terminals sending stuff down, then you Bluetooth it between phones. I mean, once you because they can't stop that. Mesh-tastic. You make a mesh.

It's possible that they can have communications from outside, inside, whatever. And then, of course, they're all yelling. This 2CTV guy has been yelling for democracy and at the same time for this for the Shah. Let me just play. They insert this clip for a second. This is from let me see. Where is this from? This is France 24. I have a comment on it. A 13th day of protests in Iran as anger on the streets shows no sign of subsiding.

Despite the government shutting off the Internet, images of motorcycles on fire and overturned police cars are circulating on social media as crowds openly defy the regime with cries of death to the dictator. The protests have spread across Iran to over 100 cities. Even reaching the conservative Mashhad, birthplace of Ayatollah Khamenei. The supreme leader responded by accusing the US of interference.

The tyrants and arrogant people of this world, when they are at the height of their pride, they are overthrown. Trump will also be brought down. Tehran broadcast images of pro-government rallies on Iranian television in an attempt to show it still has support. But videos filmed by locals show a shaken regime with this statue of Revolutionary Guard Commander Qasem Soleimani being destroyed. Always a classic.

Or the Islamic Republic flag being torn in half and Iranians chanting a new slogan, long live the Shah. In reference to the pro-Western Shah of Iran ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution, his son Reza Pahlavi urged Trump to help the protesters. Don't abandon the streets. I assure you that victory is near. According to NGOs, Iranian authorities cracked down on protesters, arresting over 2,000 people and leaving dozens dead. Okay, so from boots on the ground, I have a new source.

This source is great. Squirrel Roz, she used to be GCHQ. Now she lives in Virginia, supposedly retired. By the way, I kept making a mistake. The prince, who is not actually the crown prince, he just calls himself that. He lives in Maryland and he's had his Potomac house up for sale for a while until this whole thing kicked off. Maybe he's taken it off the market. But from what the sources say is he wanted to go visit Trump at Mar-a -Lago and Trump's like, nah, I don't want to see you.

So that guy, and I don't even know how. Oh, that's a good sign. Yeah, so that is a good sign. And then from Lex, one other thing. I said, hey man, what about the water? He said, yeah, the water, it's been a problem for decades. You know, it rains. It's like they're not having huge water issues. There's always been management issues with the water. But it's purely the economics. The economics are the problem. And you can't necessarily solve that with a new leader. No, you can't solve it at all.

It's like, you know, people expect when Trump got into prices to all fall. Wasn't going to happen. And I do have some interesting news on that. But let's go to your other Iran clips. Yeah, I got just before we played the PBS clip, which is the first that at least they recognize that something's going on as opposed to the other networks. I want to play, this is from a podcast and it includes this guy, Pepe Escobar. You know him, right? He's been around for 100 years.

Yes, he's been around forever. Works for RT. So you can expect him to have nothing but solid stuff. And he's on this podcast and he starts interviewing the podcasters who he thinks is in Tehran. And he's going to tell us that nothing's going on because there's nothing going on. In fact, there's a bunch of these podcasts out there that counter all the other podcasts. And they say, hey, I'm here. Nothing is going on. This is bull crap. This is just a view. Wait, wait, let me get this straight.

This is Pepe Escobar and he and he's talking to someone he thinks is in Tehran or someone thinks he's in Tehran. No, no. Pepe thinks the guy that's doing the podcast is in Tehran. Oh, OK. And so Pepe turns around and says, let me interview you for a second because that's going to be different. And I forget this guy's name. I've got an exclusive. I guess his name is Nimrod or something. I can't remember his name. OK. All right. So this guy, this is kind of amusing because the guy's not in Tehran.

Nima, you are in Tehran. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are no protests in Tehran. Number one, right? Not right. Let me put it this way. Leading the witness. I am right now. I'm not in Tehran. No, I'm not in Tehran. But I came to the southwest of Iran in the state called Khuzestan for 10 days. I arrived in Khuzestan. I was. Yeah, exactly. In the heart of that. Wow. Wow. Let me let me say I got here in Iran on. It was on December 20, if I'm not 26, if I'm not mistaken.

For 10 days, I was in Tehran. And I saw what was happening in the mainstream media and basically somehow in the alternative media, the coverage of what is happening, what is happening in Iran, what is happening right now in Iran is somehow exaggerated as though that all these protesters on the street, you know, coming out and they want to do regime change and all of that. It's nonsense. OK. Nima. Wow. Wow. Wow. You're not there. Wow. That's amazing. Wow. That's so good.

I just found that to be hilarious. That is good. Yeah. Great podcast. It's a podcast industrial empire. Sounds like our episode number one through 10 on Skype back in the day. And by the way, if they cut off the Internet, what's this guy was Nimrod guy doing broadcast? How's he getting his? How's he getting it out? Yeah. All right. So here's the PBS report, which it does discuss it. And I think it would then they had good, good visuals. And so I was kind of surprised.

And tonight's other headlines. Tensions are escalating in Iran as protests near a second week. Today, Iran's attorney general warned that protesters could face the death penalty. President Trump has warned of retribution if peaceful protesters are met with violence. Despite efforts to clamp down on dissent, demonstrations have grown fueled by anger with the hard line ruling regime and the worsening economy.

Human rights watchers say at least 72 people have been killed and more than 2000 detained since the protests began. Wow. Just a top line surface report from PBS. Not much else. But at least it's something. Here's what the president said. Iran's in big trouble. It looks to me that the people are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were really possible just a few weeks ago. We're watching the situation very carefully.

I've made the statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we will get involved. We'll be hitting them very hard where it hurts. And that doesn't mean boots on the ground, but it means hitting them very, very hard where it hurts. Now, where does it hurt? Very, very hard for Iran. The only sanctions, I guess. It can be the oil. That's the only thing they've got, you know. And by the way, I don't know what he's going to do.

All of this oil and Iran and Venezuela and Hezbollah. From what I understand, Hezbollah is one of the biggest drug networks. It's all intertwined. It's all related. Probably the only people not involved in drugs are Russia. I wonder, can you get good drugs in Russia? Does anybody know? There was an interesting comment. I was watching you guys do analysis of the cocaine trafficking. No, it's the guy. He was the guy who was interviewed by what show was this? The guy who's the head of Columbia.

Petro. Yes. He did a long interview. I couldn't clip it because it was all in subtitles. I have the summary. Go play the summary and I'll tell you what I heard. No, it's a written summary. I have a written summary that someone sent me. Well, a couple of things came up in the conversation. One, he said that the Venezuelans had already. He says those boats that were going to that they were blowing up. He says he didn't like the idea. He says that none of that stuff was going to the United States.

He says the Venezuelans long since stop shipping anything to the United States because they put a clamp as an agreement. So the cocaine use in the United States is down. He says, but he says is way up in Europe, in Europe and Australia. Yeah. Europe is so cheap. It's the market has just been flooded with cocaine. And he says, and even in Russia, they're starting to use it now.

But he said, but Europe was the thing which follows exactly what we've been saying on this show, which they're blowing up these boats to screw with Europe. Yeah, but I guess they're still getting so much of it. Doesn't make no one's noticing. Well, but but no, no, the it's we're screwing with Europe because the prices dropped. The kids were here and I asked them about it. You know, I won't say that they're cocaine users, but they're young. They live in Europe. Oh, no, it's so much.

It's it's you know, you can it's a dime bag is a dime bag. Literally a dime is so cheap. So I got a summary. So wait, let's stop there for a second. What does this mean? If you have the whole continent coked up? Well, there's no first of all, less money is flowing to the to the the city of London, North Sea Nexus drug money networks, less money because there's just too much of it in the EU. And yeah, if you know what, everybody needs to be coked up in Europe. And I'll tell you why.

I have a report. Hold on. This is a. Where is it? A report from a Dutch guy. Hold on a second. What did I file that under? I got it here somewhere. This was doing the rounds here. Dutch guy explaining the housing problem in the Netherlands. This is how the grey replacement is taking shape in the Netherlands. If you're white and you can't find a house in Holland, I have a life hack for you. Just learn a bit of Arabic and go to the next municipality next door.

A Dutch newspaper brought the following story. Thousands and thousands of Dutch people would figuratively kill to get this apartment. It's a beautiful studio in the center of Amsterdam, one of the most coveted areas in all of Europe. But this Syrian man doesn't really bat an eye. He got this house from the government, but he doesn't even live there because his wife also got a house from the government and he chooses to live there instead, while renting out the studio at the same time.

The Syrian gentleman pays €700 of rent each month for a studio in the very center of Amsterdam. But he then goes out into the public markets and rents the studio out to other people for more than double, more than €1500 a month. But that's not even the worst story yet. This Syrian man in Rotterdam got a very big three-bedroom apartment, of course, from the government. He's 20 years old and he lives alone in the apartment.

So one might think, why does a 20 -year-old Syrian man need a three-bedroom apartment in Rotterdam? What's he going to use the three bedrooms for? Well, the government said the Syrian man had the right to three bedrooms because there was an outlook for reuniting with his family. The newspaper then asked the Syrian man if he had a family, and he answered he doesn't even have a girlfriend, no wife, and no kids.

And apart from the apartment, he also gets government benefit checks every month because he's not declared okay to work yet. However, he tells the newspaper that he does work on the black market for cash. Besides, he rents out the other two rooms to other migrants for over €1000 per room per month. And all of the meantime, the Dutch First Channel brings a news story that more and more Dutch people, over 30, are living with their parents amidst the housing crisis.

The story says that Dutch people wait with getting children because they simply don't have a house for themselves yet. At the same time, the Syrian migrants get free houses because their wife might come, but they don't even have a wife. It's complete madness, and this is a clear example of how the Great Replacement is government policy in Europe. It's not an accident. It's not because the people are stupid. It's on purpose. Yeah, and so this is why you do a lot of coke.

Like, life's not worth living here anymore. The government is corrupt. They give everything to migrants, and you can't get a house. So, hey, look at this cheap snow over here. I think I'll make myself feel better. That would be the way it works in my mind. And at the same time, it's screwing over the drug money networks. But listen to this. So, as we played on the last show, we had a boots-on-the-ground report from some other network, I can't remember, someone who was there.

So, President Trump talked with Petro of Colombia. And here's the rundown as I've received it. It lasted 42 minutes, and apparently, the Colombian president agreed to eight points, an eight-point plan. One, implement bombings against FARC and ELN dissidents. So FARC is the... That's the big drug boys. This is my favorite. Start... They're revolutionaries. Yes. Start fumigation with glyphosate on the crops. That's a great idea. I never even considered that. Well, he pushes back on that one.

Oh, okay. Lift the suspension of extradition of drug lords. Guarantee free, transparent, and secure elections for the opposition. Okay. Collaborate in the restoration of Venezuela. They are bordering countries. Strengthen security on the Colombia-Venezuela border to combat groups like the ELN when they attempt to cross the border, fleeing the new order imposed by the United States. Stop persecuting the opposition. Okay, boss, we promise.

And peacefully and quietly abandon the Casa de Nariño on August of 20... What is Casa de Nariño? I don't know. Let me find out what that is. On August 6, 2026. Is that the government house? What is that? I have no idea. Yes, the official residence of the president of Colombia. So there's definitely stuff afoot. There's definitely stuff happening. And we're not being told. No, of course not.

Well, nobody in our media will do any work because they're too busy harping on a woman in Minnesota, as opposed to the dead kids in Chicago and Oakland. What is the Chicago kill list at? Chicago. No, Shot Clock, I think it's called. Shot Clock. I think it's the Shot Clock, yeah. Yeah, heyjackass.com. Let's take a look. Oh, it's better than I thought. Um, January to date, shot and killed, eight. Shot and wounded, 40. Total shot, 48. Total homicides, 10. So it's better than I thought.

Let's see, what was the 20... Total homicides includes knifings. Yeah, yeah. And other... Knifings, knifings. Knifings, yes. Yes, let me... 2025, Chicago. Here's the list. 433 people killed, 1,592 wounded. How you doing, Darren? You enjoying that Chiraq there? I do have... I do... So this is the whole dimension A, dimension B. And it's crazy to hear all these people talking about, well, she had a... Whenever someone starts with, well, you can clearly see by the wheels turned that way.

It's like, okay, you're just trying to make something go your way by a little piece of video. And there's all kinds of different angles. And it is just... We love over-analyzing. It's like Charlie Kirk. It was the exploding microphone. It could never have been a 30-odd -six. There's no blood. There is blood. It's only out of the... Over and over and over and over. It's why you wear a white T-shirt. So there's a couple different angles here.

Actually, I'd like to start with the fraud, because that, of course, is now kind of being downplayed or is just not making much noise as it should. And there was a hearing in the House. This is Minnesota Representative Robbins talking about the way fraud was handled in Minnesota. Representative Robbins, do you have any examples of how the Walz administration blocked investigators from moving forward high-priority fraud investigations? Yes, we do, Mr. Chairman.

I've met with whistleblowers and gotten documents from them about how after the original CCAP whistleblower report came out in March and April of 2019, subsequent to that, there was an Office of Inspector General within DHS that had investigative authority to do surveillance, warrants, and seize electronics. And they were shut down. They were told they could no longer do criminal investigations.

They were told they could no longer meet with the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension agents that were assigned to them without supervisor's approval. And instead, when they found... One of the other members talked about how they changed the language. They went from calling it fraud to calling it overbilling. And they created an overbilling committee to all the investigative agents now couldn't do criminal investigations, and they had to flag issues for billing.

And then a committee would decide if any of that overbilling would be recouped. Committee appointed by Waltz? No, appointed within DHS. Oh, appointed by their own bureaucracy. Yes, so they shut down criminal investigations. They created a committee to call it overbilling and decide if overbilling investigations would even try to... This is fantastic. That's the way you do it. It's not fraud, it's overbilling.

So Scott Besant, our Treasury Secretary, comes onto the scene, and he did an interview with the Rufo Show. I think it's Rufo and something. Rufo, it's on The Blaze. Sat down for a half-hour interview, and he laid it out very clearly, and he's not messing around. So Chris, first, thanks for having me, and thanks for breaking the story, because it's clearly something that's been going on and suppressed for so long.

And you could see that the people in Minnesota have been carrying this burden, and they almost seem... Say what? Chris Rufo. Chris Rufo, yeah. ...believed. But what we've found, two things. Really, three. One, this, as you reported, this waste, fraud, and abuse in the system, bigger than anyone thought, and we'll see where that goes. Two, the leakage, and how does this get out of the country?

Either if you were on public assistance and you were sending money out of the country, one of two things must be true. You were getting too much assistance because you have excess funds to feed yourself, your family, food, clothing. Or you've got stolen money, and you're sending that out. But in either case, money needs to stay in the U.S., or your benefits need to be cut. Three, how can we use the investigations in Minnesota as a model for what's happened and push it out to the other 49 states?

Because Minnesota is likely the most egregious. Maybe not. We'll see. I have an open mind. But the scale, just because of the population sizes, California, Illinois, New York, that what's going on here is a microcosm of what's going on there. And it's like someone on the panel said today, benefits have been turned into businesses. It is a cottage industry of teaching people how to form multiple LLCs, how to game the system, how to move money around. And we'll see where the money goes.

I'm here because what Treasury does is follow the money. We follow the money. And we have done it with the mafia, where we were able to take them down, Mexican drug cartels, and now these Somali fraudsters. And we can always do it. We'll see what kind of recoveries we can get for the American people. Yeah, I like it. Sounds like he does make mean business. I like it. I like he's talking about the multiple LLCs. They know exactly how this is being done. 501c3s are going after that.

They're going after all these financial networks. You know, you always complain about Congress not doing anything. They're not. They're full of crap. It's all their moments there. And I think that. Yeah, the clip you played earlier is with Comer. Yeah. My favorite. Well, let's go to Margaret. Also, by the way, before you do that, I want to mention something that Besson did. And I'm noticing this. It's a rhetorical trick. You might start picking up on it where you say the following.

The trick goes like this. Yeah. And there's two things I want to talk about. I mean, maybe three. He only mentioned two. Yeah, he only mentioned two. But they're always doing this. I got two things to tell you. Actually, three. But at least. Where is this? And I'm hearing it over and over and over. Well, at least it's Milieu. At least he didn't do. I got two things to tell you. One and B, like Biden did. Right. At least he's not doing that. Biden, yeah.

One and B. So the representative Ilhan Omar is out on the trail to, of course, play all of this down. And she showed up this morning with Margaret Brennan. Well, the administration argues that they have to do it because the state failed to, right? The federal government and the state have been working peacefully together. And have brought justice. I love how she talks. To these 87 people that you've described. None of this search that they have. What? What did you call it?

She swallows your words. Conducted, has produced any sort of criminal activity. They haven't been able to charge anyone as of yet. The administration also announced they're going to cut food stamps to Minnesota because they say some of the food stamp money had been in Bezalel. Are you confident that that- And those are the things that are being litigated. And it is, again, unconstitutional for them to do so. Is it unconstitutional? How's it unconstitutional? What are you talking about?

Food stamps are in the Constitution. Unconstitutional for them to do so. Is it, are you confident that the fraud that has been discovered is no longer being conducted? Oh, that's a good point. The troll, I'm saying she has a little bit of a Christopher Walken type cadence. That's, that's actually a- Yeah, maybe, I can see it. A little bit, a little bit. You're confident that the fraud that has been discovered- What are you going to do about it? Is no longer being conducted now.

Is there any justification for saying this food stamp money is somehow being misused? There are ways to investigate fraud, which we have been doing in Minnesota, which the federal government has been doing under the Biden administration. There is no reason for them to use this level of rhetoric. There is no reason for them to fully stop. Who cares about rhetoric? But what do you, rhetoric is just words, lady.

These, the funding these programs, the only reason they are doing that is for PR purposes. And it is harming our state. It is harming my constituents. And it is creating the kind of chaos and confusion that no one needs in this moment. Why doesn't the DOJ just go after the whole brother story? That's the strongest position they've got. Well, the Congress, there was a, there was a meeting of the Oversight Committee. It was on C-SPAN. By the way, your YouTube TV now has, you notice this too.

Yeah, yeah, they have C-SPAN. C-SPAN 1, C-SPAN 2, and the rare C-SPAN 3. Probably save C-SPAN's butt because that was paid by cable companies and they, they don't want to pay for it anymore. So it's probably a cash infusion for C -SPAN from Google. That would be my guess. So yeah. Anyway, so they have, so I'm watching the, just you turn it on. Do you, I mean, it's like watching a slow train wreck. You can't really turn it off. So you're stuck there watching. And I'm watching Nancy Mace. Great.

Nancy, is that her name? Is it Nancy? I don't think it's Nancy Mace. I don't think it's Nancy, but she is now. Nancy Mace. Nancy Mace. Mace and Luna are both on this committee with, and it's headed by Comer. So we know this is kind of a, the oversight committee. So they're, and this was one of the subcommittees. And they're going after, they're making a big fuss, but they passed it off. No, no, no, we just got to go to the ethics committee. We can't do it here.

They're passing off the guy, the one congressman who's beating his wife and they want to investigate that. And then Omar and Mace is the one who says, hey, you know, this has got to be investigated. She married her brothers. She should probably be deported. Yeah, but that's the department of justice. Who cares? Congress should just be doing what they're supposed to do.

What they're doing is- Somebody should do something about this, about this fraud that she committed to become an American citizen. Let's go on to the real fake news, according to Elon, is that Nick Shirley was all fake, was all fake, fake. Because the administration and many conservative allies in the administration argue that, that this is still ongoing.

There was that conservative influencer who went out and posted this video that went viral alleging that daycare- How do they come up with, just as a point of question, is Nick Shirley a conservative? I mean, is he wearing a MAGA hat? Is he a registered Republican? I mean, what- Not that I know of. He seemed just like a kid. With an older handler dude named Dave, who is not- He's a YouTuber. Well, we don't know where Dave came from, but- Dave could be a conservative. Dave could be a plant.

They never- He could be CIA for all we know. Yes, yes. It's a conservative influencer who went out and posted this video that went viral, alleging that daycare facilities were pocketing public funds. And as you know, he went- Hours where- What was that? I couldn't, I didn't hear it. Laugh Tale. You listen to her. Pocketing public funds. Yeah, and as you know, he went- That's a bad laugh tale. Facilities were pocketing public funds.

And as you know, he went- Hours where these businesses were not operating. Yeah, CBS went out and- Which again creates the level of confusion and chaos. Oh, so CBS now says it's fake, okay. That it's not necessary in a moment when we are trying to deal with a serious problem that needs serious people to be able to address it. But do you think, there was no recorded evidence of fraud according to the CBS investigation that was conducted, but- Really? What?

I didn't, I mean, I saw a whole, that, I didn't, did CBS conclude that? That's news to me, all right. But do you think there was no recorded evidence of fraud according to the CBS investigation - No recorded. But Governor Walz did not run for reelection, he dropped out of the race because of all of that. Because he wants to focus on defending our state. He wants to focus on getting out of Dodge. Focus on defending our state and not defending a seat.

Do you think there has been a sufficient level of accountability and ownership of the failure to have oversight here? Do you think this ends? I mean, that is what we want. So it is again, yep. We want to collaboratively work with the administration to try to make sure that there is no fraud that's being perpetuated on our state. What we do not want- I love that, fraud perpetuated on our state. No, it is your state. Fraud that's being perpetuated on our state. In our state.

What we do not want is the level of terror, of confusion, of chaos that is being created without any results in this moment. All right. Well, she makes a good point about no results. Yeah, that's true. Well, here's the ethics committee thing that you just brought up. Very quickly before I let you go. Because it's not that important. Ethics committee is not important. Very quickly before I let you go. The chair oversight committee said that he wants to refer you to the ethics committee.

I've been referred like 100 times. So go ahead. At your husband's income and net worth. He said it was tied to private equity investment funds. But he seems to be insinuating that you personally are tied into this welfare scam. How do you respond to that? Ever since I've gotten to Congress, they have been doing these sort of weird ethics investigations. None of them have yielded anything because I have been as transparent as I can be.

And there is nothing wrong with any documentation that I have ever provided to the federal government. OK, well, there she goes. She's as transparent as she can be. So now we go. Because I do have some clips of this stuff. To the mayor of Minneapolis, who, of course, showed up on Pooper Show, State of the Union this morning as well. We have all the Sunday morning shows. Thank you very much, Steve. Welcome back to State of the Union.

Joining us now to respond, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry and Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hare. Mayor Fry, your response to what you just heard from Secretary Noem? She invoked you. I have those clips later if we want to listen to them. You by name. That was some wild and crazy stuff, you know, sounds like she does. Does he have an arrow in it through his head when he said that? Listen to what he says now, though. It's good.

That was some wild and crazy stuff, you know, it sounds like she doesn't believe a single word that she is saying right now. And I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water, if she'd actually be able to speak, because here's the thing. Oh, cute. He's a ventriloquist now. I don't know if Donald Trump was drinking a glass of water, she'd actually be able to speak, because here's the thing. She's calling Minneapolis like this dystopian hellhole.

You know how many shootings we've had so far this year? Two. And one of them was ICE. Two shootings in a large city so far this entire year. And one of them is ICE. This is a safe city. ICE and Kristi Noem and everything they're doing is making it far less safe. Well, listen, you've had two shootings where a week and a half in, you know, don't make it sound like it was a whole year. You know, it's like... Yeah, that's a good way he did. He did that well. He does it very well.

And by the way, during this time of year when it's frozen solid outside, very few, you know, there's not a lot of... There's not a lot of killing going on. People don't want to kill when it's cold. It's too much work. Here comes the Dimension B Zapruder analysis. I want you to respond to what she said about you telling ICE to get the F out. She says you and the leaders of Minneapolis have been demonizing ICE officers.

And it is true that you've been critical of Secretary Noem for her quick characterization of the incident. But you also said on Wednesday, quote, this was a federal agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying. Does your rhetoric need to change? Yeah, yeah. I said this was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying because that was a federal agent recklessly using power that ended up in somebody dying. It's exactly what happened.

I mean, am I biased in this? Of course, and I'm biased because I got two eyes. Anybody can see these videos. Anybody can see that this victim is not a domestic terrorist. I mean, my goodness, she's like doing a three or a four or five point turn. This looks like somebody that's trying to get out of there. If doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist. Make up your mind. My wife is a criminal every single day. Where's this three point turn thing anyway?

It's a four point turn. Well, where's the, what turn? She's just taken off like a rocket. Yeah, but this is the dementia, dementia B. Domestic terrorist. I mean, my goodness, she's like doing a three or a four or five point turn. This looks like somebody that's trying to get out of there. If doing a three point turn or a four point turn is a domestic terrorist. And my, my wife is a criminal every single day. This, it does not make sense.

We've got to be operating from a point of course, have this investigation. It should be a neutral, unbiased investigation where you get the facts, you know, and by the way, I shouldn't be the one conducting the investigation, nor should Christie know. Uh, but you should have an entity that is able to do it with some common sense and operating in reality. What he's referring, I'm sorry. The FBI is doing the investigation, not Christie Gnome. No, but he's, this guy is, he's nuts.

Um, let's go to, I'm going to go back in time. Well, there's a lot of evidence that he was involved in that. I think it was a law firm that, that, that was training these people to do the fraud. He may be a fraudster. Hmm. Interesting. I didn't know that that's possible. It seems like there were 280 people shot in 2025 in Minneapolis, which doesn't seem like a small number.

Um, let's go back to Christie Gnome because he's referring to something that we brought up in the last episode, which is about the definition of domestic terrorists. You said within hours of her being killed, you said that she was a domestic terrorist. How do you define domestic terrorist? She weaponized her vehicle to conduct an act of violence against a law enforcement officer and the public. How are you doing that?

How can you assert with certainty that she was trying to hurt the officer as opposed to she was trying to flee the scene? If you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it completely fits the situation on the ground. This. Okay. So I looked it up and figured that would be worth it because we talked about it. The definition is one of the few shows that actually does the work. Yes. 18 U.S. Code 2331 brackets five.

In order to be classified as domestic terrorism, an act must meet all three of the following conditions. OK, so count. OK, OK, OK. The act itself, the act itself must involve acts dangerous to human life. And must check and must be a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any individual state. I think we get a check on that because you're absolutely you're hampering the work of a federal agent. The location.

This is the second criteria must occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. OK, I think that's easy enough. And here comes the intent. The acts must appear to be intended to accomplish at least one of the following multiple choice hands. Now we have another group of hands. There's only three, but now we get three with sub. No, no. Well, it's three with sub. Yes, subcategory acts, the location and the intent. Hands on buzzers. Candidates. Here we go.

Intimidate or coerce a civilian population. I don't don't. I don't think it qualifies. I'm not catching that. I'm not getting that either. Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion. I think there's that. I think you could check that box. I think it's quest tracking these guys. She was blocking their work. She was intimidating the officers. No, no, no. We had we already had intimidate or coerce a civilian population. Influence the policy of a government.

I don't think it checks those boxes, but the third box affect the conduct of governments by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. I think all three are kind of iffy. But affecting the conduct of the government mass destruction. But is it have to match all three? No, one of one of one of those. One of those is actually four. So now there you go again. You just did what the rhetorical. No, it was three. But now there's no. It's three criteria.

And of each criterion, it has to be one of those. So it's subcategories. So it has to be one of the subcategories. Yes, it has to. It has to be all three of the main categories and one of the subcategories. And the intent, I think, is the one that is questionable. Acts must appear to be intended to accomplish at least one of the. Oh, it's actually three. I'm sorry. Intimidate or coerce. I know. Intimidate or coerce a civilian population.

No. Influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion. Yes, I think I think you're right. She was trying to influence the policy of the government, i.e. rounding up illegals by intimidation. And I think intimidation is there. And then affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping. I don't think it's that now. No, it was number two. Number two. That's right. You go, you're moving on to the next round.

There is, of course, no specific federal crime called domestic terrorism. So you can only prosecute for murder, arson, weapons offenses, etc. And it is indeed the Federal Bureau of Investigation whose jurisdiction this falls under. So I think I think they can make a case. Unless you believe in the three point turn theory. If you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it completely fits the situation on the ground.

This individual, as you saw in the video that we released just 48 hours after this incident, showed that this officer was hit by her vehicle. She weaponized it and he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. The question is, I don't doubt. My position is I wasn't there. I didn't see it. Who's this? Some people. Jake Tapper? Yes, attacker, attacker, tapper, not pooper. So what is he? He says, what is he? He's not interviewing her anymore. He's part of it.

What kind of a question was that? Let's do it again. And he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. The question is, I don't doubt. My position is I wasn't your position. I didn't see crap about your position. Some people say it was trying to hit him. Stop the presses here. You can't do that. My position is this a political debate? This is your position? It's his position. I'm telling you. How is it? Why does he have a position? He's supposed to be reporting.

He's doing an interview of somebody. But now he has a position. So he's this is a partisan interview. A gambling? Come on, CNN. Yes, that's the worst. They got to get the Ellison's have got to take this operation over sooner than later. Let's continue. Some people say, no, she was clearly trying to move her car and flee and get away. I don't know. What I'm saying is, how do you know? How can you assert for a fact within hours before any investigation? This is what happened.

The facts of the situation are that the vehicle was weaponized and it attacked the law enforcement officer. He defended himself and he defended those individuals around him. That is the definition. When there is something that is weaponized to use against the public and law enforcement, that is an act of domestic terrorism happened in our in our shores. It happened here in our country. You don't get to change the facts just because you don't like them.

We will continue to look at this individual and what her motivations were. We know that there was throughout that morning she had harassed and impeded law enforcement operations that raises the suspicion level with all of these law enforcement officers as far as paying attention to what her capacity is.

And as you see on the videos, and they've proven out that this law enforcement officer took the action that his training prepared him for and he worked to make sure that he could save his own life and those around him. Now, let's just look at the true culprits here because these are it's first the whole the whole thing is sad. It's sad all around. But these are people who've been mind controlled by their elected representatives.

This is the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan. If you are sick and tired of... Wait a minute, Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, that was Ellison. Keith Ellison. No. No. I'm sorry, not the Lieutenant. She is... Wait, I have it here. Where was she? She's the like the under governor or something like that. She's the Lieutenant Governor. OK, Keith Ellison is the Attorney General. Yes. OK, there we go. We're sorry. All your points are wiped off the board now.

Everything you got right about domestic terrorism, you lose those points. OK, I can start over and still beat you. Going to the culprit, the type of people... Yes, this woman. This is the clip. This clip was before our last show. This is when I brought it up about them inciting. Yes. This woman is disgusting.

If you are sick and tired of your government being ransacked by Donald Trump and his minions, literally taking away health care from your neighbors, stealing food off of the table from seniors and children and generally being uncool with the fact that our neighbors are being disappeared. P.S. Without due process, it is just called kidnapping. Then show up and use your voice.

Put your body on the line and use nonviolent direct action, which is one of the most important tools in our toolbox to say I am not OK. I will not go silently into the night. I will join arms with my friends, with my neighbors and with people who generally believe that folks should be able to afford their lives, should be treated with dignity and as human beings. The key phrase there is put your body on the line. Yeah, that's what she said.

What kind of governance is this where you're encouraging? What kind of government do you have in Minnesota where you're encouraging people to go out and riot? The only kind I can imagine is one that is thoroughly corrupt all the way through and she must be corrupt as well. Why else would you do that? Unless you're afraid that the gig is up. By the way, there's a great mini series. I think it's on Netflix. It's called Struck by Lightning.

It's like three or four episodes about James Garfield, who was elected president almost kind of as a fluke. And he was assassinated three months into his presidency. That shows you, and that was 1948? 1848. 1848. 1848, I think. The corruption, because that's what it all, the corruption of New York and the Port Authority and just all of these, everybody, all corrupt, all drunk, all womanizing. And you just sit there and you watch it go like, it's only gotten worse.

It's just they covered up better. They do a better job of covering it up. That's the idea. You learn something. You learn something. It's a great series. Tina and I were just like, holy crap, no wonder we're in such dire straits. Anyway, we'll go back to... The country's always been this way. Yes, well, all countries are. I mean, yes, all countries are. We just have prettier politicians generally these days.

So back to our Ice Barbie and Jake Tapper, and he's going to do something, a nice little trick they do over there at CNN. I know that you'd like to make me the topic of this and not what happened, but I did ask a Democratic senator just a few minutes ago about AOC's comments, and I don't actually even know what you're talking about when I ask questions. Hold on, maybe we should play that first. Hold on a second. Yeah, I'm not following this at all.

The officer appeared to have fired three shots, the first one through the front windshield, the second and third through the side window. What is the justification for the second and third, given that the officer was out of harm's way? You're watching the same videos that I am, correct?

Yeah. Yeah, you're watching the same one, so you see how quickly the situation unfolded, how the officer was in front of the vehicle when she sped off, how she ran into him, and how he had to take quick action based on his training to defend himself and his colleagues around him. Once he's out of harm's way. That's very clear and factual from the videos that you can see. It's nobody's interpretation.

We don't get to change it because we can see it with our eyes and we can build on the evidence that we have on the ground. You see how everyone is saying we can see it with our eyes. I have eyes. I can see it. I saw it with my eyes. I saw something different. I mean, what color is the dress?

The question is why- doesn't fit somebody and what they're trying to do to continue to defraud people in their city and in their state, continue to take advantage of individuals and to allow criminals- I don't know what you're talking about. That's what Mayor Frye and that's what Mayor, Governor Walz are doing every day by diverting the attention and trying to attack a law enforcement officer. They're allowing the criminals to go by without examination.

Are you saying that the second and third shots, because you just said it happened very quickly. Are you saying- I didn't say anything at all. I said, watch the videos. And watch how quickly this unfolded and know that law enforcement officers every day in this country are in difficult situations where they have to make split second decisions to protect themselves, the public and their colleagues and that they have to rely on their training.

That's exactly what this officer did and I know that the left and I know the crazy activists in this country that are trying to undermine our way of life will attack and try to destroy a law enforcement officer. I'm asking a question. It's just unacceptable and we're not going to let that happen. I'm asking a question is when he's out of harm's way, what is the reason for the second and third shot through the window when he is out, he's not in the line of sight of the car?

This investigation will continue to unfold and more and more information will come forward. She's no good at this point. What I would appreciate is everybody's- I know exactly what she should have said. She should have said he already hit her with the car. He had no idea if she was going to back up and run him over. She had- he- as far as - he didn't have that much time to think about it because it had been dead. Well, could she have backed up? She already hit him.

How much would it take for her to back up and run him over? He didn't have any time to think about this. It was not worth taking a chance. Can you tell me, Jake, can she- could you tell me could she not have run him over? No, because she was a poet. Poets don't do that. So I don't know what the AOC refer - the reference is, but he's going to call a- call an equivalency here. And there really isn't an answer other than you saw the video.

I want you to ask- I want to ask a question about the rules of how law enforcement is allowed to engage when feeling threatened, per your assertions. And by the way, he's going to yip her on this one. She has no answer for it. Because I want to show some video to you right now and ask, what is the appropriate response for the police officers in this situation? Do you know what he's showing? No, probably the pepper spring or- Those are law enforcement officers being physically attacked.

By this standard, would any of those officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm? Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on. That they know that when people are putting hands on them, when they are using weapons against them, when they are physically harming them, that they have the authority to arrest those individuals. The president pardoned every single one of those people.

And make sure that they're getting justice for their actions going forward. President Trump pardoned every single one of those people. And every single one of these investigations comes in the full context of the situation on the ground. She's very combative. Yes, she, yeah, I agree. And she's not doing it well, but- No. I mean, there's other ways. She should have just thrown the Ashley Babbitt thing right at him. That would have been good. Yeah, that could have been good.

So, well, there was one police officer that just shot an innocent woman who wasn't unarmed, who wasn't hitting him. Shot him dead. And he didn't get prosecuted, did he? Did he, Jake? Say her name, Jake. Say her name. Say her name. So he could have done, she could have done that. She could have pulled the Ashley Babbitt card. Could have, yes. She could have also said, and if she was really a, if she was a J .D. Vance or somebody who was quick on her feet, she would have said the following.

Well, those cops knew that those were FBI agency, FBI guys beating them up. So they knew it was a wink, wink, nudge, nudge. They weren't going to shoot them. You know what? You are now the new Kristi Noem. I hereby nominate you as a director of the DHS. It doesn't take a genius to have these answers. You would look good in the cowboy hat and the camo. You'd be great. Listen, Jake. Yeah, just the dresses don't work. Listen, Jake. We saw you at the birthday party of the assistant director of CIA.

We know, we know what you're up to. We know whose team you're playing on. So we had to go to France 24 to get some of this information. Well, there's a coalition of organizations and rights groups that are organizing these demonstrations. The biggest one, the ACLU, which most of our viewers will know, they're the main driving force behind it. But they have called for an entire weekend of process, a process across the country. Around 1,000 of them are so expected.

There was one here in D.C., just down by the White House there a little earlier that we were at. But the big one here that we are expecting is going to be taking place on Sunday when protesters will be gathering near the National Mall before walking down towards the headquarters of ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That's part of the Department of Homeland Security.

But the biggest one by far that we've seen on Saturday is in Minneapolis, where that shooting of Rene Goods took place just a few days ago. There have been hundreds of protesters gathering in a central park there before then moving on and marching through the streets so long past the site of where Rene was fatally shot just a couple of days ago. People chanting her name, shouting justice for Rene.

And there's also a vigil being held there with a significant amount of flowers and candles being placed at the site where she was fatally shot. So they for now have been mostly peaceful. There have been a couple of pepper balls fired towards protesters. That mainly though outside of an ICE detention facility inside of Minneapolis, which has really become a flashpoint of these demonstrations.

That is where these officers come face to face with the protesters who are protesting their stay in Minneapolis. The ACLU, man. What happened to them? I remember when I used to... They were taken over by the communists. I used to donate to them and I think it was when President Trump put the, in hindsight, very smart travel restrictions on coming into the United States during COVID, which immediately was called a Muslim ban. I hate Muslims. And that was the ACLU.

And then they called me and said, hey, how come you haven't donated? I said, well, are you supposed to organize protests? Is that your charter? Well, we have to. It's important. You remember that call? Yeah. It was during the era of the show. You talked about it. I recorded the call. You got all bent out of shape because you used to give them a lot of money, I guess. A lot of money. Well, for you. It was my $10 a month. For you, it was a lot of money. Yes, it was.

And so you're giving them a lot of money and they call and bitch and moan that you're not giving them more $10 bills. Yes. And the next thing you know, you're complaining about it on the show. Of course, I remember that. I thought this was very funny. I guess I should really play the jingle, but we'll play this. You'll say theirs. Here's my question. Where is everybody? Hold on. Let me play the warning. This woman.

Everybody needs to be warned before we play these kinds of a clip from the view will be played. Shelter in place. Let me just say this. Here's my question. Where is everybody? Where is everybody else? We come to everybody's aid. Yeah, we help everybody. Yeah, NATO. They came and helped us after 9-11. Where is everybody? Because what did NATO do? Just what did NATO do for us after 9-11? Come and help us. Come on, NATO. Come on and help us. They helped us do what? Just listen to the clip.

They came and helped us after 9-11. Where is everybody? Because where are... You're worrying about Greenland right now. Well, I'm not on board for Greenland. Where is the government? We are... Do you realize we don't have a government? Oh, you mean... We don't have... ...all their power away. Yes, I know. What are you bitching about? This is a huge and should be our biggest bitch right now. It is. Because all of this is happening because there is no one doing checks and balances.

Where is the government? Why aren't they doing their job? And let me tell you, I feel like... You know, he hinted yesterday. Okay, so she basically feels that NATO should come and help us. They need to save us. And I remember the French, we invented Freedom Fries because the French didn't want to help us right away. They didn't help us right away. So we got all bent out of shape and call them Freedom Fries. Yes, yes. So, yeah, it seems... But yeah, it's an obvious ploy.

And, you know, this would be another thing. Oh, we can impeach him over this and just keep moving along, doing all that. It's also boring. I mean, it is. I do have my... I do have a Minnesota clip. Okay, let's do your... The Minnesota public citizen woman. This week, series of shootings by federal agents enforcing President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration has sparked a weekend of protests. There were rallies and demonstrations across the country.

They were organized after a woman was fatally shot by an immigration and customs enforcement agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. And a customs and border protection agent wounded two people the next day in Portland, Oregon. Lisa Gilbert is the co-president of Public Citizen, a progressive advocacy group that helped organize today's protests. Lisa, what are you hearing from around the country about turnout and whether or not there have been any problems or troubles? Well, turnout has been amazing.

We're holding 1,000 plus events, peaceful, lawful vigils around the country in this astounding moment where people are reacting to an atrocity. It was organized in only 48 hours. And so the massive numbers we're seeing, the number of people turning out, telling their neighbors to turn out, all of it just demonstrates the real magnitude of the outrage that I think people are feeling. Yeah, the outrage, okay. It's the outrage. The thing is... Yeah, like Brock. The thing is we'll never...

These two dimensions will never see eye to eye, ever. I just don't see it. How can we ever create cohesion? These are the same generalizing liberal white women who you clip on TikTok. Yeah, it's the same people. So how do we deal with them moving forward? You have to have a world war. A world war? Wouldn't a civil war be good enough? We got to have a world war? No, a civil war is impossible to do. Well, what do we need a world... How would a world war help? That way it unites the country.

A civil war doesn't unite anything. You want a world war, like everyone said, they got a common enemy and everyone's got to get it together because we're all going to die. And so you have to have a world war. And if that gets rid of the Zeds who can't read, you put them in the army, it solves a lot of problems. I got a great anti-Zoomer note. Hold on a second. I think I got that one too. Yes. I think it's exaggerated a bit. From Stefan? I don't know if it was Stefan. When you read it, I'll know.

Well, he said, my generation was born in 93, 97. Yeah, this guy. Studied under the French system and English system through primary and high school. So he says, you know, they taught us how to touch type, build the database, use Excel and PowerPoint and websites, understand key components. It was based on my comment that there's no more computer science class. Right.

So he says, when we entered the workforce, all the hiring managers were shocked at our computer literacy and thought this had to be the smartest generation ever. A year ago, I caught up with some of my friends over Discord. Mm-hmm. Sus. Who are now... Not that smart. Who are now a middle management in tech companies, i.e. head of operations, customer support. And they were telling me funny stories about the new generation, how illiterate they are in computers. Some with IT degrees.

And he gives some examples. I believe that. I believe this too. They did not know what or how to open a command line on Windows. I mean, I think that's iffy if you need to know that. Yeah, it doesn't take much to figure it out. They did not... CMD. Apple... Was it Windows key or CMD? There's a lot of ways. There's more ways. There's more ways than one. That's as many ways. How to touch type. Well, that... I mean, typing skills. Do they even do typing class anymore? I don't know.

I don't think so. How to use Excel or PowerPoint. That seems like a big issue if you don't understand the basics of a spreadsheet. And they didn't know how to troubleshoot when something went wrong with the computer, i.e. control, alt, delete. They couldn't get to the task manager. Task manager and processes. And if all else fails, restart the PC. They just froze like a robot. Yeah, I can believe that.

The other thing is, I mean, but this generation that he's discussing, the one he's part of, do they know the difference between random access and non-volatile memory? Well, they're not going to have to know because you can't buy it anymore. There's no more RAM. We're out of RAM? When did that happen? Well, this is from CNBC. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now, these stories. AI memory is sold out, causing an unprecedented surge in prices.

Prices for computer memory or RAM, this is CNBC, are expected to rise more than 50 % this quarter compared to the last quarter of 2025. Because all the AI companies are buying up the RAM. There's no more RAM. And RAM was getting dirt cheap. That's what was so great about it. It was getting dirt cheap. You could put in a huge cache of RAM. 24 gigs. And yeah, it's beautiful. I don't know about that much.

Well, let's take a little sidestep here and let us listen to a report of the most recent CES, the Computer Electronics Show, which you used to cover, I believe. Didn't you used to cover that? Or were you more calm? I used to go all the time. Yeah. Even though it's a pain in the ass because it's crowded, the hotel rooms are high priced. It's cold. It's cold in Vegas. Sometimes, but not always. I've been there during, I think, CES when it snowed. I was there one year. It snowed.

I was there that year too. It snowed. I was getting on the plane to go home and it was snowing out. I'm going, what am I doing? Why is it snowing in Las Vegas? I remember like, yeah, we'll just walk home from the convention center because we didn't have Uber. It was snowing. We didn't have Uber. We had to grab cabs and it was like an hour wait for the cabs. And they're all gypsy cabs that'll rip you off. It was all, it was a mess. I'll just walk home and it started snowing. Of course you did.

I mean, you always had a car because when you went to Vegas, the first stop is the pinball machine museum. It was a stop. I used to go to rent a vet and rent a Corvette too. Oh, I rented a vet there one year. Yeah, it's fun. Yeah, except that was the really plastic ones. That was maybe, so that must've been- They were all pretty plastic.

No, but it was like 93 and I think I hit the gas, the accelerator right over a speed bump and it ripped the whole muffler and some fiberglass right off of the thing. Yeah, and I parked it there and then of course they called me later and said, hey, did you lose a muffler? These were the good old days, MTV days, man. Good times. So here, let's see a little overview from the innovation, the incredible innovation of AI at CES.

This is how AI, well over a trillion dollars worth of investment is going to change your life. Paper thin TVs, Lego that comes to life with light and sound, and binoculars that identify bird species in real time. This year's consumer electronics show was defined by AI powered innovation. Innovation, John, innovation. All you bird watchers out there, take note. A mix of genuine breakthroughs and eye-catching concepts that may never see a store shelf.

Romanian deep tech company, Dr. Lumens, AI glasses for the blind could make shopping or even hiking possible for the visually impaired. What happened to dogs? The seeing eye dogs are great. No, now you got to have this headset. By the way, every innovation looks like a Newton. You know what I mean? Remember the Newton? Oh yeah, the Apple Newton. It's like this big clunky thing that did nothing. You could squirt your business card to someone else if you were like, you know, 10 inches away.

Well, I'm going to squirt my details to you. I forgot about the term squirt. Squirt, yes. That was the term they used. Squirt. Hey, I went to Boston. Kind of gross. I went to Boston to the launch to get one. That's how sad I was. I spent my own money. I got it. This thing is, it's the future, the Newton. You spent your own money? I did. During this era, I never spent any of my money. Well, this was MTV days. Yeah, but they should have expenses for you.

They weren't going to send me to, they didn't believe in the internet, let alone at the Newton. Like, no, the Newton. By the way, have you seen that MTV Rewind website? No, but I heard about it. Yeah, it's pretty cool, actually. They got a lot of you on there. No, I'm not. No, they have no VJs. No, somebody told me they saw you on there. I haven't seen it. I don't think so. Send your link to adamacurry.com. All right, back to the innovation. So yeah, so this headset is giant.

So now you're blind and you look like a total idiot with this huge beep, beep, beep, beep. Oh, I'm walking. Oh, I might get it. The dogs are great. I think the seeing eye dog association should stop this right away. This is crazy. For the blind, could make shopping or even hiking possible for the visually impaired. The headset. Hiking. Why stop there? Water skiing, skiing, biking. You know, the horse riding, everything. This is innovation. Motorcycling. Motocross. This is crazy.

This is what AI is doing for us, bird watchers and blind people. By the way, we got a lot of blind people listening to this podcast. So, you know, I love you. And I think you're probably laughing with us. We hope so. The headset analyzes surroundings and helps a blind person on their day. This is the way, this is the reason I'll tell you why they should be a very complimentary toward us because these devices are designed to kill the blind. That's right. They want to kill you.

Go hiking on a steep cliff with these goggles on. Paragliding. I mean, the possibilities are endless with AI. It's replacing a guide dog. And Chinese company Roborocks' Saros Rover is a robotic vacuum cleaner. Now, listen to this thing. This is an innovation of epic proportion. A guide dog. And Chinese company Roborocks' Saros Rover is a robotic vacuum cleaner with a pair of legs and motion sensors, allowing it to navigate the house alone and climb up and down the stairs, hoovering as it goes.

So this is the big innovation. 10, maybe 15. When did the Roomba come out? By the way, bankrupt. Yeah, it was about time. I hated those guys. Really? You hated them? I talked to Roomba story before I went to it once. I think it was CES. And I snuck in before they allowed anyone in so I could start interviewing people without having to be, you know, having to get in line. Nice and quiet. Yeah. And so I go into the Roomba guys. I'm going to give them a big write up.

And so then the next thing you know, I'm moving over to the next company and a bunch of security guys grab me and they say, hey, what are you doing here? You're not even supposed to be in here. And I said, yeah, well, I am in here. And I said, well, you got to go. And so he's escorting me off. And I said, who is it? How did you find out I was in here in the first place? Says the Roomba guys told me. The Roomba ratted you out. The Roomba guys ratted me out.

So I didn't get a good write up and I've been bitching about it ever since. And, you know, and meanwhile, we went in there to interview them, to get them a good write up. And this is the thanks I got. I got booted. Don't ever cross John C. Dvorak. Let this be a lesson. I have a long memory. That's for sure. That's right. Well, so now the innovation. So this is what, 15 years ago, maybe longer. When did Roomba first come out? That's at least 20 years ago. 20 years.

So now they have the same basic concept, only it has two legs and it pops down. Downhill. It climbs the stairs. Okay. Wow. 1.3 trillion dollars so far. It's got to do with AI. It's smart. It's really smart. What it means is that it utilizes AI and advanced algorithms in order to. Advanced algorithms. Advanced algorithms. Tech industry is not what it used to be.

That it utilizes AI and advanced algorithms in order to measure the space around it and be able to climb steps with its wheel leg system. But it's not only just steps and stairs. It is also ramps, slopes, curved stairs, snail type of stairs. Dude, get an illegal alien. This is crazy. Yeah, get Maria. Yeah. I mean, pay a human being to do this work. Carpeted stairs, all types of different surfaces that the wheel leg can handle.

France-based Ybrush brought its smart Halo toothbrush, which not only cleans teeth in 20 seconds, but has gas sensors to detect health conditions through analyzing users' breath. Let's be honest. Brushing teeth was due for an innovation. I mean, this is the advanced AI economy that we're going into. Oh, you just stick this thing in your mouth and within 20 seconds, your teeth are clean. I kind of enjoy that. And it checks your breath to see if you have bad breath.

Yeah, I enjoy brushing my teeth. You know, it gives me a little minute to think about stuff and walk around while I'm brushing. No, no, no. They're taking that away. Sensors to detect health conditions through analyzing users' breath. Health conditions. But the AI surge has also given birth to solutions in search of a problem, like chargeable design changing bags, lollipops that play music using bone induction technology. What? So the bone induction lollipop.

Why don't they just give you secret messages? Put the lollipop in your, okay, now's the time to kill all humans. Vote Democrat. Vote Democrat. That's what I was going to say. Vote Democrat. And they have these bags. So there's a bag and there's like a flexible screen, poorly, I might add, woven into the bag and it changes designs. Wow. That's great. All right. And the last. I wonder what that cost. And the last one is my favorite because it's an oldie.

Surge has also given birth to solutions in search of a problem, like chargeable design changing bags, lollipops that play music using bone induction technology. See, you know, honey, it's time to go. I can't because my bag is still charging. I can't leave the house. My bag is charging. Otherwise, my Louis Vuitton logo won't change.

In search of a problem, like chargeable design changing bags, lollipops that play music using bone induction technology, or even smart toys that grow and evolve like real pets. The Tamagotchi. They've brought the Tamagotchi back. There's a bunch of time we had. Somebody sent me some. I think one of the people, one of our producers, maybe is part of this Tamagotchi group. There's a big bunch of collectors in the country of these things still. And they have meetups.

And you can look up to me, and it's always, it's all women and one guy who's living it up. And each meetup looks like to be about 18 people. And they're having the time of their lives, and they have photos online. And Instagram has a lot of these groups that show up. And they post the photos of the collections. Of the Tamagotchis? Yeah, then they all have a variety of them. I didn't realize there are so many different weird ones. Yeah. I mean, but that was the report.

So I guess, and of course, that's about it. Yeah, that sounds right. Yeah. So that's what AI is giving us. Okay. I think at the end of the day, I'll say it. You did it. I said the end of the day. I said it. I think the only winner in the AI stuff is Google. I think that Gemini as a search product, if you get the Gemini Pro, which came with my phone for some reason, that is the only actual killer app. And they supposedly would know how to make money out of it. And they have the branding.

They are the search company. And it does a pretty good job. I mean, it's not quick. You know, it has to search stuff. That can speed up with more servers. With more money. Just a little bit more. More money. More lithium crystals, and we're good. I think the big winner is NVIDIA. Oh, well, yeah. Because they're the ones that don't even sell chips anymore. They're the ones that sell server farms. Right. But Google has their own chip. They've got their own. Yeah, the A7.

It's supposed to be better than the... No, no. Apple's the A7. No, it's got some number like that. You can look it up. But that chip is sold only as a chip. And according to my source for this sort of information, nobody can implement the chip. They have to say... And then when they're given the price performance versus the chip, versus buying an entire server farm from NVIDIA, everything all put together. Right. No, they're not going to buy the Google chip. So the only other killer app of AI...

And, you know, please don't email me and tell me, yeah, it's great for vibe coding. I do it all the time. I'm building my own audio mixer on Linux. Absolutely. But that's not for the common man. That's for nerds like us who are making stuff. And I don't like to fool... By the way, Omachi. I loaded that on the old Surface Pro 6. That is... The Linux? Yeah. Hamachi? It's called Hamachi? It's called Hamachi. Like a fish? Yeah, it's Hamachi. It's like a sushi. It's Omachi. Omachi.

Okay, that's better. Yes, Omachi. And it is dynamite. I can't wait. Why? Why? Why? Because... What makes it better than any other Linux that we played with? Because it's based on HyperLan. So it's a tiling window manager. So it's the interface you're liking, not the Linux underpinnings? Yeah, no. I mean, the Linux underneath is just great. I mean, that's just... You know, that's Mint. We've been Mint users for a long time. It's the interface. It's a whole different concept.

It's not going to be for the Zoomers. They're going to be like, how come I can't drag this window? No. So you can just go lightning fast on this thing. I don't want to bore you with that. I want to get to the other... Why not? Because we talked about it in the last show and you already were like... Yeah, but I still don't understand. I'm going to have to... Do I have to go look at this thing?

I'm going to have to take a machine and download this thing so I can check out this interface because I'm going to be behind the eight ball or behind the curve, behind the curve if I don't do this. So I have to actually do this work? You know, the reason you... Well, thanks. Should I tell you the reason why you will love this interface? Because it validates your initial proposition for which you have been scorned for decades. But the mouse is no good? That's not what you said, but yes.

That's not what I said, it's true. There's no evidence anyone wants to use this. And this thing proves it is in fact evidence that software developers... You don't need a mouse with this interface. You do not. I mean, if you're using the web browser, but just for using the interface? No, you don't. It's all completely with the keyboard. It's fast. It's intuitive. It's smart. You don't have to drag windows around. Just click, click, click. Boom, boom, boom. It's over here. It's over there.

It's done. It's great. Yeah, I have to check it out, I guess. The other innovation, the other killer app in AI is, of course, as we also identified on this podcast, they put a bikini on her. And this is causing quite the stir. After X's AI tool Grok came under fire for generating sexualized deepfakes, Elon Musk's response has drawn further criticism. The scandal began when Grok, an AI chatbot on X, gained the ability to generate images last year.

With just a text prompt, users in so -called spicy mode could generate adult content. Demands poured in. Wait until you hear the European lawmaker talk about it. The chatbot to virtually undress existing images of X users, flooding the platform with explicit, unconsensual images of women and children. So we are very well aware of the fact that X or Grok, or X for Grok, is now offering a spicy mode. A spicy mode? Spicy mode. They have Grok, X is currently offering a spicy mode.

We're very well aware of the fact that X or Grok, or X for Grok, is now offering a spicy mode, showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images. This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is illegal. It's not spicy. This is appalling. This is disgusting. In response to the outcry, the platform limited image generation and editing tools to paying subscribers on Friday.

European authorities bashed the move, saying it doesn't go far enough to stop the pornographic images. In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office said that the response was insulting to victims and raised the possibility of banning X in the country. Others echoed his call. We want these companies to take responsibility and to do the right thing. Nothing is off the table. We'll continue to make sure that we protect children from these online harms.

In the United States, Democratic senators have also called for X and Grok to be removed from the App Store until the issue is resolved. Spicy mode! To save the children from seeing Keir Starmer in a bikini, basically. This is what it's all about. Here's the irony clip. Well, Ashley Sinclair is one of the women who says her image was sexualized by Grok. She also happens to be Elon Musk's girlfriend and mother. You talked over it. You talked over it. I'm sorry, but I started over.

This is the irony clip. Well, Ashley Sinclair is one of the women who says her image was sexualized by Grok. She also happens to be Elon Musk's ex -girlfriend and mother to one of his children. Well, she's been telling me about what she's experienced this week on X. This issue started for me, I believe it was two days ago now.

I received a text from a friend and when I opened that text, it was a link to Twitter in which a photo of me where I was fully clothed was then undressed and put into a bikini. I immediately responded. Stop putting your photos on the internet. Grok saying I don't consent to this. Please confirm that I don't. And then at Grok, please don't do this. I do not consent to this. There's no context window. Consent and do not produce any more images.

And Grok confirmed that I don't consent and that it wouldn't produce any more. However, Grok continued to produce more and more images and more and more explicit images in which I was also getting younger in these photos. People found photos of me at 14 years old that they undressed, put into a bikini. Other photos of me where I had a high neckline as an adult with my son's backpack in the background.

I was stripped where I look basically nude, bent over and many of these still remain up on the platform. The picture was of her bent over. And as of this morning, despite Twitter's claims that they were putting safeguards, I saw a girl that Grok claims is between 10 and 14 years old undressed by Grok. In the last 24 hours, they removed my checkmark and demonetized me completely.

After I spoke out about this with no explanation given, the only thing I've done is speak out against this issue and asked- It's amazing when punishment in the world is seen as losing your checkmark. They've punished me by removing my checkmark. Maybe that's so that Grok won't make images of you is what I'm thinking. Spoke out about this with no explanation given. The only thing I've done is speak out against this issue and asked Grok to stop doing this because you can't undo abuse.

X has said that now only paying subscribers will have access to this feature. I mean, that's being condemned roundly by the UK government. When you heard that they were doing that, what did you think? Well, so now you can continue producing the CSAM material, but now you just have to pay Elon Musk $8 to do it. Irony abound, I tell you. There's something going on with the UK. I have a clip. And I think, I'm not sure who, I mean, Starmer's got, they're going after Starmer. Yeah, he's no good.

There's this, yeah, he's no good. And you get this kind of, just listen to this report. I'm going to preface it before you even play it. This is bullcrap. And I think Nigel Farage and the CIA and other people are behind it because during the video, I'm just going to say, during the video that they're playing, they keep putting in pictures of Farage and all the things that these guys do. And it's a group out of the UK called, I think, Britstorm.

And Britstorm produces, and one of our producers actually sent me a couple of these things as if they were real, which I'm kind of disturbed by. But these are phony reports. They're completely created. They're total fiction. And they always have pictures of Farage, so I think he's behind it. And they're all used to promote the monarchy and to, by chiding them, and to condemn Starmer as being a horrible person. And I want to play one of these. This is like, I have two.

Just the question, since we really need to take our break, do you want to tease this and come back after the break? Or do you want to play four and a half minutes now? I would just as soon tease it. Of course. What do you think? Do a professional tease. When we get back, you're going to hear something that's jaw-dropping. And with that, I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in spicy mode.

Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. Yeah, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, all ships that see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water. And the names of knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold on, let me count your trolls. Well, well, we broke the 2000 barrier. That's been a while. 2009 trolls listening live in real time to the best podcast in the universe. We appreciate that, of course.

They are listening live on one of those modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com. Or perhaps they are in the troll room themselves at noagenda.stream, trollroom.io. And they're here to find out what the boys have to say. That's exactly why they're here. And we told you, we told you, we had the reports. We had the big AI innovations. We had it all for you. We are deconstructing it for you in real time. With boots on the ground clips and everything else. We do it twice a week, Sundays and Thursdays.

And we're happy to have you on board. We run on the value for value model, which we have done for more than 18 years. All we ask is after we have given you clearly something of value, because our time, our energy, our brainpower goes into doing it. Our organization skills are incredibly adequate. Be that as it may. But if you got anything out of it, if you found this to be valuable, then all you have to do is reciprocate by sending us something back.

You can do that with your time, your talent, or your treasure. And those are the three categories. Time and talent has kind of been, well, we still have a lot of boots on the ground. We have people making clips. We appreciate that so much. I in particular have a good stable of people who at least not always clip everything, but will send me worthwhile clips to look at and time codes and all of it's appreciated really. And I don't have some heuristics nightmare of a blocker on my email.

So I'm also John's secretary. So here's the thing, you can stop telling me that fusion power is great and John is wrong, because you need to talk to John, okay? You need to talk to John, not me, because I'm not the expert. John is more versed in this. It's more of his wheelhouse because he studied it. Now he may have antiquated ideas, but you need to talk to johnatdvorak.org. And if you get blocked, then you email me and say I'm blocked and I'll forward it to him. Remember the bounce on Eudora?

Maybe you could bounce something. You could bounce an email. That's what I can do. No, no, that's bouncing. That's bouncing it back. But there was a specific command on Eudora, which you can't do anymore because of DKIM and SSWIM and all that stuff. I've lost cause. Eudora was great. It was a great product there in this era. Yeah, you hit the bounce key and then it went to you and it never looked like it came to me. It was great. You could reply and I was out of it. That's gone.

That's gone with the spammers. So anyway, one of the ways you can contribute is by prompting your way into the top of the leaderboard on noagendaartgenerator.com. And we always want to thank the artists for all the work they do. It's not a huge amount of work, but clearly they're doing something. And I think Jeffrey Rea did a pretty good job with this artwork that we chose for episode 1832. We titled it Lincoln's Dome. And this was all the polar bears with a little map of Greenland.

And they were all wearing MAGA hats. It was an American flag in the background. It was cute. I thought it was. It was cute. That was a cute image. There were some other things. Let's go take a look. The icebreaker, which I use for the newsletter. You know, information on the icebreaker I got from Wonderhelm up there in Finland. Let me see. I have it here. The icebreakers. Yes, he says the big beautiful ships are not as big as you think they are.

Apparently, the icebreakers that we purchased from Finland are significantly smaller than the ones that Finland use themselves. According to experts, they are not actually capable to sail all the way to Alaska to go break the ice. And they may not be even that capable for the polar region in general. Which sounds to me like the Finns are ripping us off. And maybe that would sound that sounds like the Finns are ripping us off. Yeah, I think so.

So, President Trump, you should do something about those Finns. They're no good. They're ripping us off. He's like, big beautiful ships. What's this? This thing doesn't even work. We should be careful about that. Let's take a look. So, yeah, we had the icebreakers. I kind of like Lincoln doing his own Lincoln... The head. Lincoln's head, but yeah, the head. Lincoln masonry. What else was there? There wasn't much. I mean, there's stuff that was attractive, but it wasn't usable.

And like, so now we have a new guy come in to take your Lollababy. It's like some dude with a butt plug is not going to get chosen. I can just tell you this right now. Like, what are you wasting your... This is a waste of valuable AI power. Yeah, that was kind of it. A lot of cartoony stuff. A lot of ice Barbie. Come on, man. That's old. Get with it. Do something new and fresh. Something fresh. Tramp stamps. You can do better. I know you can prompt better. I know you can. Please.

Especially for today. We're already looking at dire straits. Yeah, it doesn't look good so far. Like some kid in Amsterdam doing coke. This is not interesting. All right. All right. noagendaartgenerator.com. That's where you can upload your art. And we always like to thank the artist who wins. And we thank everybody for participating in our grand contest. How easy it has become. And the final of the three Ts is treasure, which means we want to thank people who support the program financially.

Without that, we can't do our work. We can't continue. We have to find other things to do. We thank everybody. $50 and above. And in this segment, we thank the executive and associate executive producers who are in the position to support us with $200 or more. You become an associate executive producer. We'll read your note. $300 or more, an executive producer. And we will read your note as well.

And you get those credits, which you can use anywhere that Hollywood credits are recognized, including imdb.com. And we start off with a Bitcoin donation from Dame Catherine. She is the Bitcoin granny from Bangkok, I believe. Yep. And she sends us $1,022 and one penny. And there's a reason for that. As she says, ITM John and Adam. I'm sending a little bit of extra BTC in case of any fluctuation. And this is a birthday shout out for my grandson, Ryan Sutton.

He'll be eight years old on January 11th, which is a show day, which is today. Also, I'd like him to become a knight. His title will be Sir Ryan, Knight of the Colorado Jungle. Now the entire Sutton family are royals in Durango. And here is my plug prepared for me. Hey, I just have to share. River's Edge Wellness Center is my go-to full day spa, IV therapy, med spa, hormone therapy. And in the summer, the only rooftop bar overlooking the Animas River.

Book your experience at riversedgedurango.com. I think she can land a helicopter there because I consulted on that for her for free. And she says, thank you for the best podcast in the universe. Well, thank you, Crypto Granny. We appreciate you very much, actually. Anonymous comes in with three, three, three, three, three. Hey, Jance is my second three, three, three, three, three donation. He writes or she writes. It could be anybody. I reserved, I served, I reserved.

I served the nation for a total of 17 years between my army and my contract time. I was effectively fired from my contract for refusing the COVID vax. In 21, wow. No chance for an exemption was provided. My objections noted and preserved in email traffic. Yes, good. I worked for a classified USG client providing high threat security, not allowed to say much more than that. Blackwater. But they should have not kicked me off the project. I know you didn't say that. I just made that up.

I cannot find a lawyer to help me get justice for what they did to me and others with the COVID mandate. It seems many avenues are already closed due to the statute of limitations. One of the five years. I don't think so. Which I find hilarious as we were never even noticed the mandate had been lifted. Notified. Notified the mandate had been lifted. Yeah. Notified or notice is the same basically really changed the meaning.

Reaching out to my elected reps has been no help, but I did get a good canned email. Yeah, of course you would about how bad RFK is. Yeah, I hit up ODNI as well as I listened to Thursday's show today, Saturday. I was struck by the notion I could reverse shill. Don't get me wrong. The donation shill isn't a bad thing. If you need a resume or some candy, I don't get the candy joke. Yeah, that's a little John's candies. Oh, right. John's candy.

So I decided to knock out donation number two and ask the no agenda nation. If there are any lawyers among them brave enough to help me hold these bastards accountable to or try anyway, I don't run any daycare. So I don't know that I could pay you much. But if you take a piece of it, I think, but if you think we could win money, you can have however much you want. You'd not as a third is the max. I know you lawyers run on that. Keep on keeping on Adam and John.

Though I have paused my biweekly no agenda listening from time to time. I have found value in the show since whenever Adam went on Tom Woods, Tom Woods. He's in the early days of covid. Thanks. Direct the lawyers to to covid law, covid law at PM dot me. So I'm thinking since it's a military case, maybe rob the constitutional lawyer, former Jag. I don't know. I don't know if he does these covid cases or not. Could be an interesting one.

Get all your back pay and some damages and probably get the lawyers paid for. Yeah, I think so. By the way, as you mentioned in the newsletter, I would like to remind everybody it's the end of the year. That means that your sustaining donations are probably expiring. Credit cards do expire. And it is important that you check your sustaining donations.

If you have one for your instant night, your your your night layaway program, etc. Because PayPal does a very poor job of letting you know that that's happened. Yeah, they just kick it. Yeah, they just kick it off. And it hurts the show. Onward with another 333 dot 33 donation from Sir Aditya from Hyde Hyderabad. Hyderabad in India. India? Yes. Sounds like that. I think so. Is it India? Sounds like it should be Pakistan, but that would be a mistake. India. Happy New Year, John and Adam.

Douchebag call out to all the listeners in the subcontinent. And a jobs karma for all. Oh, there it is. Sir Aditya from the East India Company. Does not surprise me. Well, welcome aboard. I think you need to. I think. Have we heard from Sir Aditya ever? Not that I know. You've been de-douche. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. Let me go to associate executive producers with Baroness Amy coming in from Jefferson, Wisconsin. 23456.

I've been listening since 2012 when when Baron John the Fabulous hit me in the mouth. Jobs karma from other production producers helped him find a great job in 2025. Now I'm in need of jobs karma myself as I face the possibility of a layoff. I've made it through two rounds over 22 months. The last one just three months ago with karma from the best podcast in the universe. I'm sure if I don't make it through this round, it's for a reason and there will be something better out there.

I'd love a Reverend Manning boom shakalaka, followed by a little girl boom shakalaka and a TPP jobs karma. Please thank you for your courage. Baroness Amy of FEMA Region 5. Boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka, boom shakalaka. Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. You've got karma. You ask, we deliver. Sean Holman, Noblesville, Indiana, Associate Executive Producership with 21911. D-Nice is still a juice bag.

Does that mean I should give him a juice bag? I might as well. Juice bag, no juice bag, juice bag. Chemtrails jingle, please. Done, you got it. Linda LePak, and there she is in Castle Rock, Colorado, $200 jobs karma for a competitive edge. She writes with a resume that gets results. Go to imagemakersinc.com for all your executive resume and job search needs. That's imagemakersinc with a K, and work with Linda Lou, Duchess of Jobs, and writer of winning resumes. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. And Eric Sachs is in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania. Sends us $200. We thank you, Eric. Did not see a note, but that, of course, still gets you an Associate Executive Producer credit and a double up karma for you. You've got karma. And finally, last on the list is Charles Shelton in Duncombe, Iowa, $200, and he actually did send a note, but the note is, I guess he emailed it too, and so here it is.

Come on, come all to the Midwest Midwinter Meetup on Friday, January 23rd, 2026 at 630. I bring the speakers, and you bring the requests. Get ready to get down and have a night on the town. Food and drinks will be produced. Adult beverage available for purchase. Reserve your spot. Fast Space is limited at Rides Bar and Grill Banquet Center, Fort Dodge, Iowa. Details found at tinyurl.com slash mid-winter, and on the Meetup page. Just go to the Meetup page.

And shout out to Wake the Dead and the Resonant State Podcasts. All right. Well, thank you all. Jingles, JCD, donate, and two to the head. I didn't see, I didn't see that. That was somehow my spreadsheet was below the fold. Okay, donate and two to the head. Okay, here we go. You've got. Donate, donate, donate. Karma. Well, there it is. Our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1833. We appreciate you. A little light in general today, but of course, Crypto Granny saved the day.

We do appreciate that. You can go to noagendadonations.com to support the show. We need it. You get the value, send the value back. If you don't get value, what are you doing listening? Stop it. That's not worth it. Only, what is it? What is it? It's lower now. It's like one and a half percent donate to the show. Is that what it is? The current, the current percentage? Yes, probably 0.9. 0.9. You freeloaders. Well, we try. We try hard. If you like the show, you want to continue.

Tina hopes we'll make it 20. I don't know, four more years. Everybody says it. They say it. noagendadonations.com. And if you feel like doing a recurring donation, you can do that anytime, any amount, any frequency. And of course, if you have one of those set up, check your credit card. Make sure it's still valid. noagendadonations.com. Congratulations to these producers. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Yeah, that's a good idea, Matthew.

We should quit at episode 1999. That's a great idea. No, no, I'm not going to do that. Hey, welcome back, everybody. As we mentioned before the break, John's got some really good clips regarding some AI stuff that Farage's event is supposedly behind. John, what do you have on deck for us? So there's this operation, and you should check him out on YouTube, because all the reports are very similar in terms of like... You should have started with, thanks, Adam. Yeah, and so... Can't play along.

So to a point. So let's, this is UK King Says No. A minute ago, breaking news is shattering Westminster tonight. As King Charles takes a historic step no monarch has dared in over three centuries, leaving the Prime Minister's government on the brink of a full-scale meltdown. Inside Buckingham Palace, events unfolded that will be studied in constitutional law lectures for generations, exposing a scandal so monumental that mainstream media are scrambling to spin, soften and control the narrative.

But here is the raw, unfiltered truth that could redefine the future of British politics. At precisely 2.15 this afternoon, Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived at Buckingham Palace carrying the Digital Identity and Migration Control Bill. The visit was expected to be routine. 20 minutes, a formal audience and royal assent granted as a matter of course.

He was accompanied by his inner circle, including Chief of Staff Sue Gray, Communications Director Matthew Doyle and Attorney General Victoria Atkins. They expected a rubber stamp. Instead, they walked into what is now being described as a constitutional earthquake. According to three palace sources present in the room, King Charles refused to sign the bill. There was no delay and no request for amendments. The refusal was immediate and absolute.

The King reportedly looked the Prime Minister directly in the eye and said six words that are already being described as historic. I cannot, in good conscience, approve this. The room fell silent. Witnesses say the Prime Minister's face flushed red as the implications sank in. What followed stunned even seasoned palace staff.

The Prime Minister allegedly leaned across the ornate desk and issued what one courtier later described as a borderline treasonous warning, telling the King that he was a ceremonial figurehead, not a politician, and that Parliament would remind him what happened to monarchs who forgot their place. Sue Gray is said to have audibly gasped. That's actually pretty good for a phony. I'd like it. Yeah, it's when you start, well, for one thing, there's no documentation for this anywhere.

No. But if you look at this operation, this UK Britstorm, they have all these phony reports. They got one from about three weeks ago where the same basic scenario took place. And Starmer has put through some stuff to end the monarchy. And it's got Charles all bent out of shape and blah, blah, blah. That's the second report? No, that's not. The second was just more of the same. No, there's just tons of these. There's one after another, after another, after another.

And each one is pretty much presented the same way. They show a lot of images. They have fake dirt on the screen. So it looks like, you know, I don't know why they do that with their videos. And they have, and then they always have, they keep cutting to Farage in all these videos. And Starmer's this, he's a jerk and he's going to get killed. And he's treasonous. And then they cut to Farage yelling, you know, shaking his fist at something. Then they go on and on and on about how bad Starmer is.

And they cut to Farage. So there's something, this whole, and this is on YouTube. And it's normally with these fake reports that you run into on YouTube. There's a, there's, if you read about, if you read enough, it tells you that this is an enactment. Oh, no, no. It says at the very bottom, it says, synthetic content, learn more. And you click on that link and it has this huge page about, it's AI. Let's just shorten up that page. It's AI. Yes, synthetic content.

But no, they don't put the disclaimer. Oh, really? Yeah. That's illegal. Put a bikini on it. So, so this will, then the second half is just more of the same if you want to hear it. Yeah. It's entertaining. It's called King. I didn't have the UK, just Kings. King Charles did not flinch, remaining seated with his hands calmly folded on the desk. He responded with measured precision.

He told the prime minister that he had read every word of the bill and had consulted constitutional scholars, former judges and civil liberties experts and that his decision stood. He then did something extraordinary. The King slid a 40-page legal opinion across the desk authored by Lord Sumption, one of the country's most respected former Supreme Court justices. The document reportedly dismantles the bill's legal foundations in detail.

Palace sources say the prime minister did not even glance at it. He picked up his briefcase, failed to make the customary bow and stormed out of Buckingham Palace. Security footage leaked shortly afterwards appears to show the prime minister moving rapidly towards his car, his anger clearly visible. But the crisis extends far beyond a dramatic confrontation between crown and government.

As ministers push through surveillance legislation with an estimated cost of £3.7 billion, critics point to the state of public services and the treatment of veterans. Five of the five companies expected to benefit reportedly have senior executives who contributed to the prime minister's leadership campaign.

Margaret Ellis, a retired postal worker from Yorkshire and a lifelong Labour voter, summed up the public mood when she said that when the king shows more compassion for ordinary people than the prime minister, something has gone badly wrong. Okay, what's the kicker? That's the kicker that you would throw this thing in there where the king doesn't care. He's showing more compassion than the prime minister. I thought that was a nice touch. There's a bunch of these out there.

People have to be careful. Well, yeah, I mean, YouTube has become a cesspool. Jeffrey Sachs, his voice is also used on a whole bunch of these videos. You'll see a different person and it takes you about a minute before you're like, okay, this is one of those phony Sachs. He must be watching Rumble. Rumble is probably better. It might be at this point.

So for the Zoomers who have emailed us multiple times about the cost of affordability, in essence, is what they're talking about, cost of housing, etc. Here are three moves President Trump has made this week, which I thought were interesting. I have no clips because, you know, why would the news report on it? The first is the president is urging Congress to create legislation, and there's a lot of excitement about this, to slash interest rates to 10% for one year.

So cap it at 10%, which could make a big difference for a lot of people. I don't know if they can do that. I mean, is that something Congress can do? Whether they can or not, I don't think it'll make a big difference. One counter argument to this is that it'll just encourage people to use their credit cards more. It'll make things worse. That may be. I think there's a lot of people who have probably three credit cards all maxed out, and they're just paying interest, and it's 24, 28%. So maybe.

If you're smart, it will be maybe a way to get out of some of this. The second thing... If you're smart. Operative words. Okay, but let's... You're not smart if you've got three maxed out credit cards. I'm trying to encourage the younger generation who are coming to us for advice. So what would your advice be instead of being snide towards them? What should they do if this indeed takes place? I'm not being snide toward them. I would say don't use a credit card. Pay with cash or debit cards.

Okay. The second one we already discussed, and the president calling for legislation to ban institutional investors in the housing market, which we discussed, and of course that's good. But the one that I've been thinking was going to happen finally happened. I kept saying the president is doing something with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These are the two, the big mortgage backers, which I believe were pretty much nationalized during the 2008 created financial crisis.

And he has told them, because they've been wildly profitable during all this time, and they have a lot of cash. And he said, go ahead and buy $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds, which immediately sent mortgage rates lower. And they expect the rates to go 5 % maybe lower in this coming year, which would be great news for people with adjustable mortgages, and maybe some better news for first -time homebuyers. Yeah, I agree.

I told you something was going to happen, and we couldn't figure out what it was, but this was the gambit. That would work. Yeah. It's a great idea. He's trying. See a Democrat president do something like that. Only a real estate guy could think of that. That's true. Really? Real estate guy. So I do have a genuine second half of show clip. Okay. Well, then in that case, where is my second half of show? I haven't used it. It's not even in the lineup anymore. Where is the second? Oh, here it is.

Now entering second half of show. All right, second half of show. Where are we going? Gravity, girl. NASA, space, aliens, gravity. Let's talk about my second favorite topic. So I saw this yesterday and this morning, and I actually thought it was pretty interesting. It randomly came up on my For You page. So it says, on August 12th, 2026, so this coming August, the world will lose gravity for seven seconds, NASA knows. They are preparing but won't let us know why.

So according to the article that I read attached to that, it's saying that this is some project called Project Anchor that NASA has an $89 billion budget for. And the plan is to see if Earth can survive losing gravity, how they're going to do this, why they're going to do this. None of this, the article talked about. You guys kind of know if you've been following me for a minute, how I feel about NASA. We just go ahead and reference the moonwalk on that one.

Do I think they do some good things for sure? Do I think they waste money? Absolutely. It's not really giving us any information. And now they're labeling it like the conspiracy theorists are talking about this. So my question to you guys, especially people that follow it a little more than I do, do we know what this is? Is it true? Is it going to happen? Somebody explain it to me? Or is this just some more internet hype?

But they're claiming it has something to do with that black hole or whatever that is. There's better terms that I don't know. And that's what's going to cause us to lose the gravity for seven seconds. Doesn't seem like a long time. But think about a seven second earthquake out of 9.0. What do we think about this? Conspiracy or something that NASA is probably really doing? Gee, let me think. What do we think about this?

Are you not just putting clips in and not putting TikTok in front of it just to throw me off? Is that what you're doing? It wasn't on TikTok. It was on Insta, I think. On the Insta. Well, hold on. Hold on. All right. Well, the answer, of course, is that, you know, nothing will happen. We'll just all bounce up for a bit because the Earth is flat. Here is some actual second half of show news coming to us from NASA. The administrator, Isaacson, who has... His ears could take us to the moon.

I hate to be, you know, to talk about someone's personal appearance. But, dude, you know, pin those puppies back. Thank you, Bethany. And thank you for everyone being here on short notice. For over 60 years, NASA has set the standard for safety and security in crewed spaceflight. In these endeavors, including the 25 years of continuous human presence on board the International Space Station, the health and the well-being of our astronauts is always and will be our highest priority.

Yesterday, January 7th, a single crew member on board the station experienced a medical situation and is now stable. After discussions with Chief Health and Medical Officer Dr. J.D. Polk and leadership across the agency, I've come to the decision that it's in the best interest of our astronauts to return Crew 11 ahead of their planned departure.

Within the coming days, the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft will depart the International Space Station with Commander Zena Cardman, Pilot Mike Fink, Kimya Yui from JAXA, and Oleg Platonov of Roscosmos and safely return them to Earth. We expect to provide a further update within the next 48 hours as to the expected, anticipated undock and reentry timeline. So this is raising a lot of questions. Like, what happened and who did it happen to? Is it the Japanese, the Japonaut? Is it the cosmonaut?

Is it an astronaut? What do you think? I think that one of them was a female, right? I believe so, yes. Pregnant. Yes, that would be a medical incident. So she's pregnant. They don't want to, you know... Who done it? Who done it? And the way it went was, well, you know, it'd be kind of interesting to experiment with a birth in... In space. Well, we don't really have the right doctors for that. We don't have an obstetrician. We don't have an obstetrician. Birth in space.

And so you end up with, okay, well, we just got to ship them back. That's the only reason not to say anything. They could have said somebody has an ulcer or they have a, you know, something. They would have told us some details if it wasn't something simple. I think you're nailing it here. That's what we do on this show. Next week, end of next week will be great. I'm very excited for the first time. I'm really excited about Davo, because we can't say Davos. It's Davo. Davo. Davo. Davo.

CNBC will be live at Davo sitting on the stupid snow set they're always at. But this is going to be great. President Trump is going to Davo and he's bringing with him Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The drinking club. Well, wait. Jameson Greer, head of U.S. trade policy. Steve Whitkoff, the deal man. AI and cryptozar David Sachs. Michael Kratios, head of the White House's science and technology policy.

And Dr. Oz. I mean, this is full force. This is going to be great. What do you think is going to happen? All right, we're here. This is a shakedown. Give us all your money. You're done. I have no idea what they're bringing. What's Dr. Oz going to do? Oh, he's just along for the ride. He's fun. I bet he's a fun guy. He's just a fun guy. I'm sure Trump, hey, let's bring Oz. I think he's the handler. Have you noticed his hair's turned dead white? Yeah, we've talked about the CIA hair now.

That's an interesting point. But you would listen to, I mean, you've got, look at all these guys. You've got Besson. Great job, boring. Whitkoff, boring. Besson's a character. Yeah, David Sachs, annoying. But you bring in Oz, you know, Oz, he's probably got the jokes. Maybe. I think that's what it is. I gotta tell you one. Hey, hey, Don, I got a great joke for you. Listen to this one. What do you call five hookers in Davos? Rich. There it is.

Hey, one final one for those of you who are on the on the GLP ones. Gee, who would have thought this warning would have to come out? Weight loss medications like Wigo V and Ozempic have changed the game for people looking to shed a few pounds. However, new research shows people who stop taking the drugs could see an increased risk of diabetes and heart disease. Don't stop taking it.

The study published in the British Medical Journal reviewed the trials of more than 6000 adults who use GLP ones and other weight loss drugs. The results are a cautionary tale as people who went off the meds regained weight almost four times faster than those who simply stopped exercising or didn't stick to a healthy diet. That rapid weight gain then had a domino effect on overall health as people then had an increased risk of developing conditions like high cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Doctors say the findings point to how these medications are not a quick fix and anyone looking to take the drugs should consider the long-term effects. Yeah, so whatever you do, don't stop taking it. You need to keep taking it.

Oh, you know, we have a friend, I'll put it that way, who works at a plastic surgery center and she says that the wealthier ladies, when they can't get one, you know, because it's all, a lot of it's by prescription, but if they can't get their prescription filled, they're like drug addicts if they can't get their GLP one. They're freaking out. I need my GLP. I need to, I need my, I need to get it. I need to get it. And this only contributes to it.

This is, this is the, this is big pharma at work. Yeah, they do. You have to give them credit for doing their job. Yeah, don't stop taking our meds. When did it become meds? Just like sus, who says that? But meds, all the kids like, I got to take my meds, meds. Who came up with that? Meds, you're, you're diminishing powerful pharmaceuticals to meds. Meds. All right, let's wind it up with some Berlin power. I'll play your clip first. Is that okay?

Yeah, this is a, this is a TikTok clip from a woman in Berlin, bitching and moaning about the lack of power. And I thought that report was as good as anything I've been hearing on the mainstream media. It's day five of the big Berlin blackout. And it's officially now the longest power outage in Germany's capital since World War II. And yes, it's minus six degrees right now here in the morning. So people are freezing in their homes. According to Berlin police, there has been a rise in break-ins.

Robbers trying to get into people's homes or businesses. Rubbers. Or rubbing ATMs. They're rubbing ATMs. Berlin, stop rubbing your ATMs. Get into people's homes or businesses or rubbing ATMs. This city's power grid was attacked by allegedly a left-wing extremist group called the Vulkangruppe. They claim to fight rich people and climate change by destroying infrastructure.

But Berlin's mayor just confirmed that anyone who was affected by the power outage and checked into a hotel that still had power will get their money back. Yeah, I have an actual M5M report on this, which I got from City News, which is still kind of a podcast group, I think. City News is not M5M. No, it's not. But it's a better report. German officials are calling it the longest blackout the country has seen since the Second World War.

For tens of thousands of Berlin residents, power is finally being restored after nearly five days in the dark and cold following a suspected arson attack. The fact that the federal public prosecutor's office has now taken over, as the senator of the interior said here a few days ago, underlines what this is about. Not a minor arson attack, not sabotage, but a terrorist attack.

The mayor of Germany's capital says on January 3rd, a group of left-wing extremists set fire to a major power grid in the southwest portion of Berlin. He says the blaze immediately cut off electricity to 45,000 homes, 2,200 businesses and multiple hospitals, leaving nearly 100,000 residents without heat or power during a period of freezing temperatures. Better protection of this critical infrastructure is important for Berlin.

We will be working closely with the other state premiers, but also with the federal government to discuss how we can better protect critical infrastructure in our country. The left-wing extremist group known as the Volcano Activist Group has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a protest against fossil fuels in Germany.

In a statement, group leaders apologized to less affluent residents impacted by the power cuts, but said it, quote, has less sympathy for the many owners of villas. We don't care if you have villas. So climate activists, you buying that? I'm not buying anything.

I mean, it's possible because these guys are nuts in Germany anyway, and, you know, in the olden days, everyone would have a little hearth with a coal burning, you know, you could burn coal in it and keep warm during these periods of no power. But you can't have that, it's illegal. And you can't, everything has to, so all the, throughout, especially Berlin, it's all been electrified, so everything has to be electricity. So it's just asking for trouble.

Well, I mean, I don't, I don't understand why they're blowing up the power grid the way Germany's going, just wait a year or two and it'll shut down by itself. Yeah, it will. Who needs that? I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. And indeed, we do have a few people to thank that gave us $50 and above for today's show. And Adam will read them off one at a time.

Karen Fatula kicks us off from St. Clairsville, Ohio, $137 and says, thanks for the exceptional podcast. You want some house selling karma? I'll give that to you at the end. Christopher Ebert, Spartanburg, South Carolina, 105.35 cents. Ralph Wetten, Spearwood, Washington, 82. Western Australia. Oh, sorry, thank you. In Australia, that's right. $89.20. Is that dollarettes or is this translated to U.S.? That would be U

.S. Okay, $89.25. Kevin McLaughlin. There he is, our Archduke of Luna, lover of America and boobs from Concord, North Carolina, 8008. And he says it's a boom donation. We knew that. Monica Boyle is in Quista, New Mexico, and gives us also a boob donation. What does she say here? Nancy Pelosi said Confederate fags in the last episode. Really? Hold on. Hold on. Well, there's one way to find out. Let's see. Let's listen to it.

Joining me now is House Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi, Democrat from California. Just given everything that happened about 25 years later. Well, today is an emotional day for all of us. Five years since the president of the United States incited an insurrection on the Capitol, on the Congress, on the Constitution. On our ability to honor our oath of office to certify the election of the president by way of certifying the Electoral College.

What was sad is that this president refused to send the National Guard. He keeps saying, oh, I wanted it, but they didn't. Well, the mayor and Nancy, they didn't want it. His own secretary of defense testified under oath that that was not true. But he is not under oath, so he just lies, lies, lies, lies. So it's but what's important is our democracy. What happened then was horrible, was horrible. Confederate fags under Lincoln's dome. Yeah, she said Confederate fags. She did. All right.

Confirmed. Thank you. Well worth the donation. Joseph Wyke, I think it is, Miami, Florida, 77-77, which we believe is 69-69 plus the fees. Thank you.

Oh, that's interesting because I have three new ones and the one's in abeyance. Well, I mean, would you want me to play yours first? Uh, no. Okay. Here, come on. So you hold them in abeyance again. Oh, here we go. I mean, folks, that is magic. Yeah, I thought that was pretty good. No, that sucks. What's going on here? No, I don't like that one.

These guys are great. Come on, that's pretty good. We're great. We're great. Or you guys are meant to report the truth. That's a lot of JD Vance. Okay. I hope you have something better for me. I have plenty. Okay. What do you got? Let's start with the new ones. I put the ones in abeyance. They're still in abeyance. Value for value. Value for value. Donate, please. Could have done a little more on the uptalk. I thought it was appropriate for today's show. Great work. Wow. Great work.

Kiss these guys on the lips. No, no. And doodle. Golly darn doodle. What a great podcast. No, that sucks. Maybe it's wow. Great work. Kiss these guys on the lips. I think that one's actually the best one compared to value for value. Donate, please. Nah, I always tell people to donate at the end of the show. We'll take the great work. Great work. Kiss these guys on the lips. Yeah. Yeah. But you don't have to. It's not an instruction. Just think kiss on the lips. I'll send them a donation.

Hey, everybody. It's time before we go to listen to the fabulous tip of the day. Great advice for you and me. Just a tip with JCD and sometimes Adam. Yeah, I want to promote. This is funny because I had one set up that I forgot to move over here. So I'm going to go with my Manuka honey. You familiar with this stuff? You've talked about honey before. I don't know if it's... Not Manuka. Not Manuka? Okay. Yeah, it's Manuka honey. In fact, we should look it up. M-A-N-U-K-A.

I think that's how it's pronounced. Manuka honey. It's native New Zealand tea tree. And it has high levels of methyl glyoxyl, M-G-O. Do I want that? Do I want methyl glyoxyl? It's an antibacterial. So you do want it. And it aids wound healing, digestion, and immunity. This is the only honey that has this stuff in it. Everything else, you know, just a bunch of sugar. It also has blood sugar impacts, allergies. It has...

You know, you should read about it before you use it because it's a very powerful product. But the reason I brought it up is because Mimi has this big dog. Yes. And the dog had got his toe in a bind that was going to be infected. And it had to be... Had to cut his leg off. Had to cut his toe off. Oh. But she just doused it with Manuka honey for about a week or two. Put a little protection over so the dog didn't lick the honey off. And it healed completely.

Wow. And it's notorious for healing deep wounds. It's a very notorious honey. Well, I've never heard of it. Very expensive. Does it taste good? I've never tasted it. So you just put it on your wound. I don't have any wounds yet, but I do have a jar of it. But this stuff cost a fortune. It's got like a little bitty jars, like 15 bucks. Wow. And according to the medical people, you should only use medical grade. But now look into it because there is a grading system.

And if you have the highest grade Manuka honey, which has got a grading of 10 or more than the numbers usually on the jar. It's fine. The things you learn on the No Agenda show. Amazing. That is John's tip of the day. Noagendafun.com tipoftheday.net for all of them. I'm going to get some of that. That goes along with my Chinese salve. My burn cream. Yeah. The burn cream, which people love. You need your burn cream and your honey and your kit. Especially when you're traveling.

That's it for today's broadcast. We enjoyed you being here. All more than 2,000 listening live. And hundreds of thousands listening on the delayed podcast. Support the show, would you? Coming up next on the No Agenda stream. Abs in a six pack. This will be episode 274 with Sir Seat Sitter. So make sure you stay tuned for that. And end of show mixes. Some slop, some not. We've got an MVP, of course. He's always, always bringing us the end of show mixes. We got Sir F.U. That's Why.

And Deez Lost from Toronto. So it's a three for some real end of show mixes. Coming to you from the heart of the Texas hill country. Right here in Fredericksburg. We are in the hill country. It's beautiful here. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's beautiful here too. But it's cold. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's about 35 here. So it's cold as well. And it's less colder. It's cold. Hey, we'll be back on Thursday. Until then, remember us.

Noagendadonations.com. Until then, adios, mofos. Hui, hui. And such. Listen to me. Because the corporate media. The literal vampires in the mainstream. They aren't going to tell you the truth about Greenland. They want you focused on the distraction of the week. While the globalist ghouls at the UN try to lock down the ground. Selling off the soil while the permafrost dies. Deep underground where the documents stay. They're prepping for the shift. They'll pave the way. National security.

That's the story that they sell. But it's a technocratic prison in a frozen shell. The gateway is open and the lock is in the hand. They're carving up the map of forbidden land. It's the gateway to the north. Can't you see the ice hitting from the sun? The battle for the Arctic has already begun. Greenland is the key. Greenland is the prize. Don't believe the script. Don't believe the lies. After the protest in Minneapolis and across the country.

After an immigration agent shot and killed a woman on the street. It just walks away from where George Floyd was killed in 2020. That's all. That's all you need to know. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. It's much worse than we were led to believe. Exactly the George Floyd stuff. Over and over and over again. It's like a loop. It's like a fractal. It is a fractal. It's like a loop, loop, loop, loop. It's non-stop.

In places where they know they will not get political cover, these sorts of protests tend to be disrupted relatively early. They tend to stay more peaceful. Zero credibility. Exactly the George Floyd stuff. It's a carbon copy. George Floyd II. Absolutely. They want to show. Tim Walton really is finding himself on the wrong side of history here with their sanctuary city policies. It's like a loop. It's hard to say what you do in a moment like that. It's a carbon copy. It's like a fractal.

It is a fractal. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. A hero. Let him ride. Let him burn the tires. We won't let them tear us apart. A man of the people. A hero. This is all talk. The whole thing is sad. This is all designed to get more votes for the midterm. Put your body on the line. Get out there. Really? Someone's trying to run me down with a car. I might pull my weapon too. Not everything online by design is meant to spin you up. MK, alter yourself and lose your mind.

Find Project Monarch and that butterfly design. Seeing butterfly tattoos have been on my mind. Operation Bluebeam, Longleash, Moses and the paperclip. Mockingbird, Gladio, Condor, Stargate. I mean, that's just a tip. Dr. Ewan Cameron at McGill. Another sign you're listening to a spooky show chill. Back to Shannon. OKC, KFC, UFC, TFC. Don't forget that they want to bring in an online currency in the form of a CBDC. My guess is the USTC. All I want is BCC.

History rhymes most of the time and I'm just trying to give you clues and remind myself at the same time. Don't listen to that much music anymore. But reading books and podcasting when done well. Plunder World. So much more. So much more. Yo, man, get these trading cards and Plunder World is so much more. Yeah. Shout out to the Plunder World store. You'd be surprised like that one little, oh, that $5 message. You hear that, keep it going.

You say when you upload it, you might listen to clips and listen to the source material. It's just like somebody still cares out there and finds value. That's the real magic of value for value. Ignoring somebody cares out there what you're doing. Wow, great work. Kiss these guys on the lips.
