I caught COVID from a sailor in Seattle. Adam Curry.
0:04
It's Thursday, October 22nd, 2026. This is your award-winning Kimbo
0:08
Nation Media Assassination, episode 1914. This is No Agenda. Coming
0:14
to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country
0:16
here in FEMA, region number six in the morning, everybody.
0:19
It is time once again for your media deconstruction with
0:24
a... Well, with a very special guest host who is
0:27
returning in his very new special studio, David Burnetti will
0:31
be with us in 90 seconds from now. It's Thursday,
0:35
October 22nd, broadcasting live from a Cybertruck. They're coming! We'll
1:00
be right back. We'll be right back. You're the gummy
1:42
man's back There he is, everybody. Yeah. All right. Thank
1:43
I'm a Hollywood heavyweight, governor of El Dorado. Squirrel hunter,
1:46
cyber truck commander. The man who put the high and
1:49
high definition down. Brunetti. In the morning. Call me Brunetti.
2:10
you, Paul Schaefer. Yes. Is my mic on? Yeah. Not
2:14
only is your mic on, man, you sound good. This
2:17
is amazing. You've done yourself. I need to get a
2:22
copy of that song, and I'm going to put it
2:24
as my alarm every morning. Yeah, Alex will be thrilled,
2:27
no doubt. I'll put it on repeat. The only thing
2:31
that's a little disappointing and no longer congruent with the
2:35
song is you're not in the Cybertruck. Yeah, you came
2:39
up with that idea. Well, so there's a couple of
2:41
reasons. One, it's raining here in Northern California. And you
2:46
don't want to get electrocuted in your Cybertruck? Is that
2:48
it? No, it's sitting outside in the rain, rusting, as
2:52
everyone thinks that they rust in the rain. You can't
2:55
take them through car washes, apparently, although I take mine
2:57
through twice a week. No, at... In my shop, my
3:02
450 was already inside the shop. I have a very
3:05
nice shop, and I didn't want to pull a wet
3:08
car in here and drip water all over the floors.
3:10
Oh, brother. Do you have a shag carpeting in the
3:15
shop? Is that what's going on here? There is a
3:18
carpet in the TV area over in the man cave
3:20
area. There is a carpet there, but where we watch
3:23
football and everyone hangs out. But so the 450 was
3:28
inside here, and it's not getting used because of the
3:32
price of diesel. And so I figured I'll turn it
3:35
into a studio. Okay, so the reason is you can't
3:38
afford the diesel. Okay, I get it. I get it.
3:42
That makes total sense. That makes total sense. No, it's
3:45
my – As some of my redneck buddies up here
3:48
refer to it, it's the Cowboy Cadillac. It's a very
3:51
nice 450 that we use to haul horse trailers and
3:55
things around. Is it a dually? It is a dual.
3:59
When John saw this thing, he flipped out on it.
4:02
I think one of the first dinners I had with
4:05
him, I showed up in this thing, and it's always
4:07
fun to have a valet try to park it. But
4:10
you don't need to heat the coils before starting, do
4:13
you? You can just turn the key? No, this thing
4:16
fires right up. Because when I had the biodiesel. I
4:19
had a biodiesel Mercedes station wagon. And you give me
4:24
shit about having a Tesla. It was. This thing was
4:27
great. I saw it on the street with a for
4:29
sale sign. Like, I'm buying that thing. And it was.
4:32
Did you stop at McDonald's to fill it up? No,
4:34
there's a place in across the across the bay in.
4:39
Ah. It was called the Oasis or the Oasis Biofuel
4:43
or Biofuel Oasis, like some dude in his garage. You're
4:46
living in the living in the Bay Area, driving a
4:50
biodiesel. What happened to you, Curry? The thing was, I
4:53
couldn't really drive it anywhere because, you know, you have
4:56
all these valet places. And this thing, it was 1976
5:01
or something. You needed to preheat the coil so you
5:04
have these carhops jumping in like, no, it won't start,
5:08
mister. Yeah, well, you got to heat the coils, man.
5:12
What? What? That's good. It's like a couple of the
5:15
old tractors I have around here that you got to
5:17
– it's got the little coil emblem on it. You
5:19
got to let that thing glow for a little bit.
5:22
Exactly. All right. So thank you very much for coming
5:25
on again. Of course. People love hearing you. They love
5:29
your stories. They love the – Well, it's polarizing. Some
5:34
people like it when we argue. Some don't. I'm not
5:36
quite sure why they wouldn't like it. At least it
5:38
makes it exciting. So let's go back to the –
5:44
we might as well, since we're talking about trucks and
5:46
cyber trucks, we might as well go straight to you
5:51
texting me. On gummies, as usual. Oh, God. This was...
5:57
Man, this one was good. I can't believe it. And
6:00
you're on X. Like, yeah. this is elon is great
6:06
this flying car is the best it's awesome but i'm
6:09
like what is wrong surely you see that this is
6:12
not an actual what i said anybody can go back
6:15
and look at everything i posted that evening it wasn't
6:18
what you just you're telling people you're unhinged you just
6:21
hate elon this is great look at this he's an
6:24
innovative he is that the modern day Edison. I know
6:27
you said that. Yes, I did say that. I know
6:29
you said that. I did say that. When he puts
6:32
a flying car in everybody's garage, then I'll call him
6:34
the modern day Edison. No, no, no. So that's not
6:38
going to happen. And your little tricycle that you're going
6:40
to get, it's not going to fit in your garage
6:41
either. No, that actually does fit. I've already, I've already
6:44
checked the dimensions. I saw a video of it has
6:46
fans, with the bicycle tires and flew over a Cybertruck.
6:51
No, that thing is super lame. What is that? The...
6:56
The arrows or something? It's basically a kite. No, that
7:00
thing, I would never drive or fly in that thing.
7:04
That's no good. What you sent me is like one
7:06
step up from that. No, it's a realistic flying machine.
7:11
It's the... Was it the DAT Air JP1? That's a
7:16
real thing. It has a hybrid. So you've got a
7:20
generator in it that is generating electricity to keep the
7:23
– So you don't think the Tesla roaster is a
7:25
real thing? No. It can hop for exactly eight seconds.
7:29
Oh, God. Here we go with hopping and it doesn't
7:32
fly. It jumps. It doesn't. It doesn't. Look up the
7:34
definition of fly. Look up the definition of hop or
7:37
jump. Here you are. Here you are. You're doing it.
7:40
Are you doing it? I'm doing it. Oh, my goodness.
7:42
I know because I'm so sick of the – look,
7:44
there's no practical use of this thing. It's not going
7:47
to – you're not going to use it to fly
7:49
to – I'm not going to fly down to Texas
7:51
to see you in it. No, exactly. But it does
7:55
demonstrate – It shows that we're – it's badass. I
8:00
think you said this on the last show. It's –
8:03
Look what the French president is showing up on stage
8:06
driving. And look what we're doing. We have this thing
8:09
driving upside down, sucking through the ramp, and then flying
8:12
off of it, doing a kit flip, turning around, and
8:15
landing. Is it completely ludicrous and stupid? Yeah. America. America,
8:20
baby. Yes, exactly. It's the epitome of America. I'm with
8:25
you on that. I'm with you on that. I am.
8:28
And I think the memes that I saw online –
8:31
Yeah. being on Twitter, on gummies. I literally turned to
8:56
my wife and was like... I think I'm really stoned
9:00
because the thing just did a flip. And I had
9:01
to keep re-watching it because I was so confused what
9:04
was going on. Oh, man, that's funny. Wait, here you
9:09
are. Here you are. Here you are. Wow. I am
9:11
really high. There you go. That's pretty much what I
9:15
said when that car came off of that ramp and
9:17
flipped. Yeah. But I was – I didn't want to
9:21
watch it on my phone. So I'm like, all right,
9:24
I'm going to watch this thing on TV. It's got
9:27
to be somebody streaming it on YouTube. So I turn
9:29
on YouTube on the TV, and there's like 50 live
9:34
streams. Oh, no doubt. So I turn it on, and
9:38
– There's Elon. He's there talking. And I hadn't looked
9:41
at anything. But he talks very robotically to begin with.
9:46
And I was like, wow, this kind of seems AI,
9:49
but that's just kind of how he talks. And he
9:52
started going on about… About the unveiling of the Roadster
9:56
and the hurdles they had and missed deadlines and on
9:59
and on. It was super believable. They had the audience
10:02
there. They had his brother Kimball with the cowboy hat
10:06
in the audience. It was pretty funny. Yeah. And so
10:10
I'm watching this thing and he starts talking about if
10:14
and we're doing this for all these different cryptos. And
10:18
if you send if scan the code that's on the
10:21
screen and send your crypto and we will double it.
10:26
Oh, so you were looking at a scam stream. Yes.
10:30
Oh, cause I, that's what I, and it was all
10:33
AI. That's what I thought. Yeah. Cause I, I've seen,
10:36
when you text him, you go, are you giving Elon
10:38
your Bitcoin? I'm like, Oh my God. He's on gummies
10:41
and he's looking at one of those fake streaming things.
10:44
I've got to save him. I've got to save him
10:46
because this is dangerous. You can't be sending your crypto
10:49
to anybody like that. No. No, so I scan the
10:53
barcode and it goes to Roadster. It goes to RoadsterEvent.com.
11:00
Oh, awesome. And what a great thing. Like it was
11:04
so well done. Even my wife, who's an attorney, started.
11:09
She's like, are you kidding? She's like, I have some
11:11
Bitcoin. So she went down in her office and was
11:14
looking like. What could possibly be wrong? Yeah, I sent
11:16
it to Elon. They'll come back double. Of course. Wow.
11:19
Was she on gummies too? Wow. I'm not sure. I
11:23
don't think so. It was good. But then I started
11:26
watching. I was like, wait, don't do anything. And then
11:29
I already texted you. No, no. I'd already texted you.
11:33
And by the time you had responded, I had already
11:36
put together that it was a scam because the main
11:38
reason was that the video started back over. Yeah, exactly.
11:43
And I'm like, what happened? It started back over. So
11:47
I'm like, what the crap? Where's the car? So I
11:49
didn't even care about the scam. I just went away
11:51
from that. I wanted to see the damn car. So
11:53
I go to another video, and it's the same one.
11:59
Like all 10, the top 10 ones that had like
12:02
– You know, 30, 50, 60,000 views each that were
12:06
live. Yeah. Watching it were all these scam videos, all
12:09
the top ones. I couldn't believe it. So I ended
12:11
up like, all right, I got to watch this on
12:13
my phone. So I pulled up and watched it on
12:16
my phone. Yeah. And then – so now my mind
12:19
is completely twisted because I'm like, that was a scam.
12:22
And I'm watching this and then the car flips. I'm
12:26
like, what is going on? Like, why can't I find
12:29
this video? Oh, okay. So it was like a double.
12:35
That was really the – Now, did you put –
12:38
because, of course, this was the roadster – I mean,
12:40
I think I said on the last show. No, I'm
12:42
not putting a $50,000 deposit down on a car that
12:46
we don't even know what it's going to cost yet.
12:48
Supposedly, it might be around $250,000 for the basic one.
12:52
And then there's the thrust package and then the rocket
12:55
package. Thrust package. Oh, yeah, I'm writing that down. The
12:59
thruster package. Yeah, you thrust already. But I've owned every
13:05
single Tesla. We've talked about this before. This one, I
13:09
don't know if I will buy it or not because
13:13
if I lived in L.A. or someplace where it's cool
13:16
to have a fancy car, then maybe. Yeah. I mean,
13:19
I still have a couple Ferraris here, and I have
13:22
a couple other sports cars. Oh, I'm sorry. I tripped
13:25
over my Ferrari. Excuse me. Oh, you're name dropping again.
13:29
I'm on the shag carpet in the shop. Adam, sorry.
13:32
I'm kind of a big deal, okay? You are. You
13:37
actually are. You are. There's no doubt about it. You
13:40
are a big deal. I'm humbled I'm humbled to have
13:43
you on my little podcast here I'm humbled to be
13:46
here so what it reminded me of was a kickstarter
13:50
you know I've done you do these kickstarters and you
13:53
wait like well we'll have the first prototype in six
13:56
months and then a year later I was like well
13:58
You know, we got really far and then, you know,
14:01
you're 18 months in. Here's a video of it. I'm
14:04
like, oh, wow, it's so cool. And then you wait
14:07
another two years and then eventually sometimes you get your
14:10
money back. Nothing happens. No, no, no, you don't. No,
14:14
I've got the money back. I did it. Really? I
14:17
don't think you do anymore. I think it's in the
14:18
fine print now where it's. Oh, really? They don't have
14:20
to refund you. Well, I did a Kickstarter with Sir
14:23
Gene for the original Podcaster Pro, which was a great
14:31
idea. But we could not get the engineering together cheap
14:35
enough. How much money did you raise? Oh, Gene would
14:39
know. We raised... I think we needed $100,000 or something.
14:44
We didn't quite make that, but we returned all the
14:46
money. Everybody got their money back. Well, if you don't
14:50
hit the – and I could be wrong, but from
14:52
what I remember years ago, because I don't use Kickstarter,
14:55
Indiegogo, any of those things anymore. Yeah, the money goes
14:57
back. There's so much vaporware on it. Yeah. But –
15:00
The way it used to be is if you didn't
15:02
hit your goal, the money went back. If you hit
15:05
your goal... then they could start production or use it
15:08
or whatever to do whatever they're going to do. And
15:10
I think now they don't have to send the money
15:13
back if they don't deliver. Well, it was a sad
15:16
moment because we had it working, but again, with the
15:20
engineering part, there was a whole bunch of issues. But
15:23
Gene and I are going to put together the microphone
15:27
company. So the Curry One microphone, that is going to
15:30
happen. Will I have an echo? Yes, it'll have a
15:35
Dana Brunetti setting. How do I sound in the cowboy
15:41
Cadillac? Hello! I'm on the Dana Brunetti setting. Hello! Again,
15:47
I'm sorry that I live in such a huge place.
15:50
I get this huge cavernous rooms that echo. So obviously,
15:55
cool for America. I love that. But it was to
16:00
me, it was very clear that this was right ahead
16:03
of the earnings where Elon dropped that, you know, we've
16:07
been investigating a merger between, you know, Tesla and SpaceX.
16:11
Well, I think at the end of the day, he
16:12
has better access, right? We see the gyrations in the
16:15
market for the subscale neoclouts, right? CoreWeave is an extraordinary
16:20
company run by a great salesman. Actually, I should have
16:23
– that's the wrong one. I should have started with
16:25
this one. No, I think this is the one. Where
16:28
is it? Uh – Great team at execution. The problem
16:33
is there's some scale relative to SpaceX. And then if
16:36
you put SpaceX and Tesla together, I think one of
16:39
the main motivations behind the merger, as somebody who owns
16:42
shares in both companies, is they need he wants to
16:45
get scale now. He wants to accelerate scale now, because
16:49
if you have scale around capital and if you put
16:51
the companies together. it's easier to borrow money, right? It's
16:54
easier to raise money cheaper, etc. And you're going to
16:56
need to raise cheap capital to build out all this
16:59
capex. And I will say, I don't know how he
17:01
does it, but profit, I think this is their first
17:06
report. As for the earnings for SpaceX, first profitable quarter
17:10
for SpaceX, bringing it closer to S&P 500 inclusion. Revenue,
17:13
approximately. more than 160% to $14.6 billion, beats across all
17:17
three segments, space, connectivity, and the rebranded SI, formerly known
17:22
as AI, segment. The star of the earnings show was
17:25
SI, now SpaceX's largest business. Musk laying out aggressive plans.
17:30
to bring 13 gigawatts of AI compute capacity online by
17:34
the end of 2027. That is higher than previous forecasts,
17:38
which were already ambitious. SpaceX ended Q3 with 1.7 gigawatts
17:42
deployed. SpaceX also saying that many customers are asking for
17:45
that compute. They can afford to essentially be picky in
17:48
terms of who they're bringing on for partnerships and that
17:50
deployments are generating a payback. back in less than a
17:53
year. Musk forecasting eye-popping growth on the call. I mean,
17:57
in a nutshell, what this implies for SpaceX annual recurring
18:06
revenue by the end of 27 is somewhere between $500
18:10
billion and a trillion. Yeah. SpaceX is also building out
18:14
an additional 20 gigawatts of power and cooling infrastructure. Remember,
18:17
they are designing their own gas turbine parts now as
18:19
well. Musk saying that that's really the bottleneck in terms
18:22
of building out all the compute rather than the chips,
18:24
the NVIDIA chips, since they work exclusively with NVIDIA. I
18:27
think he's smart. He's smart. All right. But did you
18:32
hear I was talking just now? Could you think that
18:35
that was a eye and and he talks like a
18:37
eye a little bit. So it's so easy to fall
18:41
for that scam. But that's also that is the Silicon
18:45
Valley milieu that everybody's in. Listen to Altman. Yeah, the
18:50
difficult. Like, yeah, I'm sure. But but Elon, to be
18:54
fair, has always talked like that. Yeah, no. Yeah, he
18:57
didn't. He didn't. He's got real autism. Yes, yes he
19:02
does. And he's doing something for the autistic kids of
19:05
America. Elon Musk says he plans to give one share
19:08
of his SpaceX company to every single child in America
19:12
next year. And some quick back of the napkin math
19:14
here with around 73 million children in America, according to
19:18
the U.S. Census Bureau. And SpaceX trading for around $146.
19:22
a share right now, that promise would amount to more
19:24
than $10 billion. Musk hasn't explained how those shares would
19:28
be distributed, but these announcements come as the tech industry
19:31
faces growing questions about AI and its effect on jobs,
19:34
safety, and society, and who should share in the wealth
19:37
it creates. Yeah, well, my granddaughter's going to share. Christina,
19:42
get it all together. It's such a horrible, horrible thing
19:47
if you listen to so many people from people explaining
19:49
like it's going to increase inflation. Oh, yeah. But I
19:53
have a clip for that. Go ahead. Play Galloway Swisher.
19:58
I was just about to say stop listening to Pivot.
20:00
Pivot. I heard this one too. I'm glad you clipped
20:04
it. I'm glad you clipped it. CEOs and executives should
20:06
keep their priorities and their nonprofits and their politics to
20:09
themselves. Drive as much shareholder value as possible. And then
20:12
we should have an alternative minimum tax of about 40
20:14
percent on anyone making over a million dollars or any
20:16
companies making over a billion dollars. And then let elected
20:19
representatives elected by Americans decide how to allocate that capital.
20:24
What he's trying to do, what this is, is customer
20:27
acquisition. He's trying to create 73 million retail shareholders that
20:32
are rooting for SpaceX. A single share? Yeah. one share?
20:37
Or why doesn't he just give this money and pull
20:39
100,000 kids out of poverty? What about that? What about
20:43
funding all the kids with AIDS in Africa? AIDS! Kids
20:47
with AIDS! Kids with AIDS in Africa. Pull that one
20:50
out. Hey, come on, man. Pull the money out. Help
20:53
the kids with AIDS in Africa. In Africa. Wow. Funding
20:56
their medicine. This has Trump written all over it. It's
20:58
such ridiculousness. This is Trump calling Musk and the Dario
21:01
guy and saying, I like the idea of... The Dario
21:04
guy. Dario guy. It's a little bit... It's socialism. Yeah,
21:08
it really is. It's socialism. It's like they've pivoted. You
21:13
know, it's... Oh, man. It is so... These people are
21:19
just so unhinged. These two in particular. We don't have
21:23
to worry about it because if you play Swisha Musk,
21:26
it doesn't matter because he's going to jail. Oh, really?
21:30
Oh, groovy. Under Kamala Harris, he might be in jail
21:32
right now, right? He's correct. Right, right. And that's not
21:35
because she's some avenging fury. It's because there's a lot
21:39
of questions around different companies of his. If Donald Trump
21:43
loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd
21:46
be worried if I were him, you know, even matter
21:48
how rich he is. There were all these agencies, some
21:50
of which he put a knife in and killed in
21:52
the doge, many of whom were investigating him. He stopped
21:55
like a half a dozen investigations of his various companies.
21:58
So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's
22:00
not on the list? He's at the top of that
22:02
list. Donald Trump obviously is at the top in his
22:04
family. But Elon Musk is right up there for that.
22:08
And the He knows what's coming. He's not stupid. Of
22:12
all the many things you can say about him, he
22:15
has a very big sense of fate. And I think
22:19
it's coming for him and real hard. You know what
22:23
I love so much about the Pivot podcast is... Core
22:27
Weave is now down 30%, 35%. It's kind of the
22:31
canary in the coal mine for all this financing, off-book
22:36
financing, bonds, credit default swaps. There's all kinds of stuff
22:41
going on in what they call the AI trade. And
22:44
then I hear Galloway, and he has to do the
22:46
stupid Core Weave thing. Ad read. I'm like, because he
22:50
can't say he can't actually say on the show like,
22:53
hey, this is falling apart. This core weave is a
22:55
problem because it's an advertiser. I'm like, this is exactly
22:59
why this show has always been value for value. What
23:02
a bunch of dupes. Now, are you familiar with effective
23:07
altruism? Oh, yeah. EA. What do you know about it?
23:13
Well, Sam Bankman Freed and his whole lot were very
23:16
much about effective altruism. But, yeah, no, it's – It's
23:24
insane in my view, but where were you going with
23:29
it? Well, I'll tell you where I'm going with it.
23:33
So effective altruism, which started, I think, at Harvard with
23:36
some British dude, and the whole idea is you need
23:41
to put – Real money, your real money into these
23:45
nonprofits that spend stuff on the ground. So dragging kids
23:50
with AIDS out of Africa or whatever. Part of it
23:53
was it was fine for them to make billions and
23:56
billions of dollars because they're going to give it all
23:58
away. Yes, exactly. But – Their giveaways only really count
24:04
for future people, not for current people. So so they
24:08
do things based upon what a trillion new people will
24:12
have to deal with, not what is going on right
24:15
now, like pulling kids with AIDS out of Africa. The
24:18
way she said that was bizarre. So when I heard
24:20
this report, I'm like, oh, no. Now, remember, Sam Bankman
24:25
Freed also gave millions of dollars. to political campaigns. Some
24:31
Republicans too, I think. Not many. Mainly through his parents,
24:35
the Stanford professors. They were a little bit shady at
24:41
best. I'm not quite sure. His mom was weird. So
24:45
when I heard this report, I'm like, oh, this does
24:48
not bode well. Anthropic says it plans to commit 5%
24:51
of its shares to a new public benefit fund, with
24:54
support potentially going towards non-profit organizations or towards what the
25:00
company calls direct contributions or distributions to specific populations. Anthropic's
25:07
board could choose to add an additional 2% of the
25:09
shares for everything. 50% increase in the company's value above
25:14
a certain baseline. The company said it could also use
25:17
the funds to study and address how AI is disrupting
25:21
and displacing jobs. More details are expected in the coming
25:24
months. In response, Elon Musk said on X, I recommend
25:28
giving the shares directly to the public. Then early this
25:32
morning, Musk posted, next year I'll give one of my
25:35
SpaceX shares to every kid in America. This will be
25:38
the first of many. Musk currently owns about 4.8 billion
25:42
SpaceX shares. That represents that figure... would rise to $6.4
25:48
billion when taking into account unvested awards and stock options.
25:52
And according to U.S. Census data, there are 72 million
25:55
children under 18 in the U.S. as of July 2025.
26:00
So Anthropic, who... Kara Swisher has nothing to say about.
26:04
They're going to put it into some kind of fund
26:06
where they are in charge of directing the money, which,
26:09
you know, is going to go into all kinds of
26:11
political stuff and stuff that will ruin our country because
26:14
these people are crazy. It's crazy. It's going to be
26:17
in lobbying for their own interest. Yes. Elon is basically
26:22
giving free money away, what they've been complaining about for
26:26
the longest time, about, well, he could help so many
26:29
people. Well, now he's doing it, and they're going after
26:33
him. And they go after him for so many reasons.
26:36
If he was still a Democrat – They would love
26:39
him. He would be amazing. But since he got red-pilled,
26:42
they've done nothing but attack him. And he's doing a
26:45
lot of great things. And I know you think I
26:48
drool over him, but the stuff he does both from
26:53
a standpoint of like that of giving – giving money
26:58
away essentially by giving SpaceX shares away to kids but
27:01
also just the things that he creates and helps people
27:05
better their lives full self driving is a game changer
27:09
once you accept it into your life it's unbelievable believe
27:14
me believe me he bought Grok bought. He didn't make
27:20
it. He bought it. It doesn't matter. He also bought
27:23
Tesla. He didn't invent SpaceX. It's all the engineers. Yeah,
27:28
again, it's like a producer. I didn't make the social
27:31
network. A lot of people did, but I was the
27:35
producer of it. I didn't make House of Cards. I
27:39
didn't I didn't write every script. I was one of
27:42
the people that were involved. But if you don't have
27:44
people that are like that, those things wouldn't happen. He's
27:49
literally catching rockets from space. Not him personally. He's not
27:54
running out there with a baseball mitt grabbing these rockets.
27:58
But if it wasn't for him... and somebody like him
28:01
behind it, those things wouldn't happen. Go to Memphis. I'm
28:05
going to bring it home back to the blue-collar man
28:08
a little bit. Go to Memphis Electrical. Memphis Electro. Leaders
28:13
want to ban or at least pause data centers. Others
28:16
want the work to continue. Hold on, but before you
28:19
said that, you've got to calm down a little bit.
28:24
I'm in my truck. I feel like I'm driving. You're
28:27
getting all worked off. I drink a lot of coffee.
28:30
You really got to calm down. I feel like I'm
28:33
pinned in with this microphone stuck in front of my
28:35
face, and I've got this seat behind me. I can't
28:38
move. All right. All right. All right. Now, set up
28:40
Memphis properly. Don't just, like, toss it to something. We
28:43
don't know what's going on. You're going to know what's
28:45
going on. It's basically it's the AI center that people
28:48
that have been bitching about with my. Am I calm
28:51
enough now? Yeah, much better. It's okay. Okay, and my
28:54
dog's in the backseat farting. Leaders want to ban or
28:58
at least pause data centers. Others want the work to
29:02
continue. Action News 5's Caitlin Miller spoke with electricians about
29:06
why they are traveling thousands of miles here to the
29:09
Mid-South to work in the Mid-South and just how much
29:12
money... They're being offered. There are so many people here
29:17
today, but they're actually not from Memphis. I'm going to
29:20
give you a look into that right now. Dallas, Fort
29:23
Worth. Orlando, Florida. Augusta, Georgia. St. Petersburg, Florida. And the
29:30
reason they're here today is data centers. Tell Elon Musk
29:34
the state. We love this money you're giving us, man.
29:37
Those artworks are too often in Memphis, where the debate
29:41
over a data center moratorium remains one of the most
29:44
heated in the city. But for the International Brotherhood of
29:47
Electrical Workers, data centers mean dollar signs. We haven't had
29:51
this much. work and money in a while so to
29:53
be down in the south and get this much money
29:55
is a big thing for the union big thing for
29:57
us we're talking over eight thousand dollars
30:00
a week. At least that's what electricians at IBEW's Midtown
30:03
office tell me, and it explains why they're coming from
30:07
all over. I'm from IBW Local 369, Louisville, Kentucky. I'm
30:11
at a Local 446, Monroe, Louisiana. We left Boise, Idaho,
30:14
three days. It took us three days to get here.
30:16
We just got here. I slept in the parking lot.
30:19
We made it here, what, 10 o'clock last night. It
30:22
was already packed, so... And for those wondering, well, what
30:25
about local workers? These electricians explained to me that locals
30:29
get first call. If the people that's here want the
30:31
job, they go first. And, you know, we come from
30:34
other places and we be on both two. And that's
30:36
how we get the job. So we go in order.
30:39
These workers told me that it isn't out of the
30:41
ordinary to travel like this. But what is new? is
30:44
the distance they're willing to go. Many of them said
30:47
this isn't their first time. They've worked on data centers,
30:50
but these contracts, many offered by Elon Musk, are far
30:53
greater than anything they've ever seen. Here in Memphis, Caitlin
30:57
Miller, Action News 5. Yeah, I'm really quite sad about...
31:02
all the negative noise that came out of the so-called
31:06
frontier labs. It started, oh man, like over a year
31:12
ago with the commencement speeches. And all these kids are
31:15
convinced that AI is going to kill us all. It's
31:17
going to kill us all. It's the apocalypse. And the
31:21
economists... I actually did a pretty good little piece on
31:27
how that is historically not true and currently not true.
31:31
Are you about to lose your job? At no time
31:35
in polling history have Americans been less optimistic about their
31:39
long-term employment prospects. And the main cause of this gloom
31:42
is artificial intelligence. Americans aren't alone. One survey of people
31:50
in 19 countries found that 40% of workers fear job
31:54
loss within 40%. five years due to AI and automation,
31:58
and 60% are concerned about machines taking over roles. But
32:02
they might be worrying unnecessarily. Music The share of the
32:08
working age population in the OECD with a job is
32:11
at record highs. What? And the number of white-collar jobs
32:14
in America has actually gone up by 3 million since
32:18
ChatGPT launched in late 2022. Imagine that. Economists like to
32:23
use ChatGPT's launch as a convenient starting point for studying
32:26
AI's impact on the labour. market but it can be
32:30
misleading those early AI tools were primitive. Until fairly recently,
32:37
any slowdown in recruitment is unlikely to evoke much to
32:40
AI. The slowing in some entry-level white-collar work appears to
32:44
predate Chapchipiti. Many firms went on a hiring binge during
32:49
the pandemic when locked down consumers were creating all things
32:51
digital. But as interest rates started to increase to rise
32:54
quickly in 2022, that hiring spike petered out as firms
32:58
turned to outsourcing to save costs. Exactly. And mind you,
33:01
The Economist, a bunch of very left-wing people running that
33:06
outfit, and they're just being honest about it. But this
33:08
has historically always been true with technology. Woo! Given how
33:14
fast AI is improving, it would be rash to completely
33:17
dismiss people's job loss fears. But if AI really was
33:21
to put millions of people out of work, it would
33:24
be unprecedented. New technologies have never before destroyed jobs meaningfully
33:29
faster than they've produced them. Take the computer. In the
33:34
early years, it led to dire predictions of mass displacement.
33:39
The consequences could be dramatic. Halving a workforce in an
33:42
office like this, because these people are replaced by a
33:45
chip. Sure, but this didn't happen. In fact, one figure
33:49
suggests that roughly half of America's employment growth between 1980
33:54
and 2010... came from the creation of entirely new occupations.
34:00
If changes were to happen, experts should be able to
34:03
see them coming. The first signs would be sharply rising
34:06
productivity, combined with weak real-wage growth in America, the world's
34:10
frontier economy, as well as a recession, because downturns cleansed
34:14
the economy of unproductive jobs. so for now try not
34:19
to worry the jobs apocalypse isn't here yet no it's
34:22
not here yet but everyone's all sigh up that it's
34:26
oh we're all gonna die it's gonna this is a
34:29
golden age a golden age i tell you it is
34:32
it's an unbelievable age and it's tremendous and just i
34:37
it What you're able to accomplish with AI, and 99.9%
34:43
of people don't fully grasp that yet, and they will
34:47
start to more and more, but it just – I
34:51
think it's going to increase productivity so much more. It's
34:55
going to increase jobs. It will eliminate a lot of
34:58
jobs, but that happens with any evolution of time and
35:04
technology and advancements and technology. You know, horses took away
35:08
or carriages took away jobs of horses, horse riders. CNBC
35:12
has a better example, which I'm going to use from
35:15
now on. For much of the 20th century, connecting a
35:18
phone call required a human being. And that human was
35:21
almost always a woman. Telephone operation became the single largest
35:26
occupation for white, U.S.-born women under the age of 20.
35:30
By the 1940s, nearly 95% of America's telephone operators were
35:35
female. Today, the nation's far-fetched. A decade later... Automation caught
35:44
up, allowing Americans to place long-distance calls themselves. The need
35:48
for switchboard operators slowly disappeared. Research shows the women working
35:54
the switchboards, they mostly dropped out of the workforce entirely
35:58
or wound up in lower-paying jobs. Most people are not
36:01
changing careers very often. They make their career decisions automatically.
36:04
early and they stick with those careers, if the value
36:07
of that work, not just the specific job, but the
36:09
type of work they do suddenly goes down. out of
36:12
fashion, becomes technologically obsolete, they're going to, in general, do
36:16
something not as good. Just as switchboard jobs faded, millions
36:20
of office and clerical jobs emerged. And it was just
36:23
in time. Not for the switchboard operators, but for the
36:27
next generation of women and those who could now enter
36:30
the workforce because of another technological development, The washing machine.
36:34
Yeah, baby. The laundry robot. I mean, you can debate
36:40
whether that is good or not. And by the way,
36:42
the women who are out of a job now, this
36:44
is why we created OnlyFans. There's only opportunity. Oh, you're
36:47
awful. I got that from the troll room. Like, yeah,
36:51
I got to use that one. That's good. That's good.
36:54
But now here's ABC and just everybody's so negative. We
36:58
talked a lot about AI being like the Terminator out
37:01
there. But most Americans agree with us, saying AI is
37:05
bad for society, while two-thirds oppose more data centers in
37:08
the U.S. It's according to a new ABC News-Washington Post-Ipsos
37:11
poll released minutes ago. Take a look at the graphic.
37:15
Purple over here, that's the bad side. The light purple
37:18
is the good side. And the generational divide may be
37:20
surprising to some. Younger Americans are more likely to say
37:24
AI is bad for society than older Americans. That's in
37:27
the dark purple again. Now, 65% of people under 30
37:32
say it is bad, along with 59% of those between
37:35
30 to 39. A slimmer majority of Americans 40 and
37:39
older say AI is bad for society. So as you
37:42
get older, they're like, eh, whatever. The ABC News poll
37:46
revealed people remain skeptical of AI's benefits and believe possible
37:50
consequences of AI are a high risk, like computer hacks,
37:54
job losses, and God forbid, something worse than that. Still,
37:58
people are split when it comes to the personal impact
38:01
of AI. 50% of those polled, so half, say AI
38:04
is good for them. 49% say it's bad for them.
38:08
You know, ever since the GrokBot Muse came in, and
38:14
I've told people, try Muse. I am getting email after
38:17
email of people saying, I was really negative. I thought
38:20
it was crap, but you kept hammering on it. So,
38:22
okay, I gave it a shot. And they're like, I'm
38:25
overwhelmed how awesome this is. And this... Go ahead. It's
38:31
pretty phenomenal. I've a couple of buddies of mine. I've
38:36
turned them on to GrokBot, and one of their wives
38:39
just set one up, and she has a bookkeeping business,
38:42
and she's like blown away of what this thing can
38:45
do. And she's like something that would take me hours
38:49
to do. It's knocking it out in a couple minutes.
38:52
It's increasing her productivity and giving her the ability to
38:55
do her job even better. But here's where it's going.
38:57
This is happening sooner than I thought. Google just announced,
39:00
you know, Google, for all intents and purposes, owns the
39:04
Android mobile operating system. They have like the App Store
39:07
for Apple. They have the Play Store. So they've said...
39:13
that you will now be able to share your vibe-coded
39:17
apps with your buddies through a special version of the
39:21
Play Store. This, I mean, and you know what? As
39:24
I was reading the article, I'm like, huh, I hadn't
39:26
actually thought about that. I told my robot, I want
39:29
a podcast app, and I want it to do all
39:32
of these things. And one prompt, and it created a
39:36
kick-ass podcast app, and completely based upon my Muse robot,
39:44
of the stuff I listen to, where I am, if
39:46
I'm on the road, show prep that I do. And
39:49
so now it's discovering podcasts for me that I never
39:52
would have found. And I think I did maybe probably,
39:56
well, initially 20, but I've done probably 30, you know,
40:00
reprompts. Like, I don't like this, fix this. Yeah. Well,
40:04
that's the key with anybody who's starting with AI, particularly
40:10
with these ones like GrokBot and Muse. It all comes
40:13
down to the prompt and what you tell it. And
40:17
the more detailed that you can be with the initial
40:20
prompt that you give it, and you literally just –
40:23
Tell it what you want it to do. This is
40:25
what I want. Anything that can be done on a
40:27
computer, it pretty much can be built by AI. Yeah.
40:32
If you give it a very detailed, like, I want
40:34
this to do this, to do that, to do that,
40:36
it will build it to the best that it can,
40:40
or it'll tell you what needs to be done to
40:42
make that happen. Then once you get that first version
40:46
of it, you then do like what you said. You
40:48
end up 30 more prompts. You're like, oh, I like
40:51
that, but change that button and move it over to
40:53
here and make it round rather than square. And, I
40:56
mean, I'm oversimplifying it, but it really comes down to
41:00
the prompts. And if you give it a good prompt,
41:03
it will build amazing things. Yeah. So we used to
41:07
always have to wait until the maker of the program
41:11
on your computer or the app developer, you know, change
41:15
it around, added features. You'd send in requests. You put
41:18
negative reviews on the Play Store, on the App Store,
41:21
and, you know, then it would come around to it.
41:24
And like, no, I just want… Like for the donation
41:27
spreadsheet, I just want something that scrolls. I don't want
41:29
all this other. I don't want to snap around. I
41:32
just want to do this one thing and do it
41:34
well. And it does it. This is. We have these
41:37
very powerful computers and we've been pretty much at the
41:41
behest of app developers. And I feel bad because I
41:44
work with 100 app developers who make podcast apps. And
41:48
now I'm saying your business is probably over. Because now
41:53
you can just connect your robot to it and it'll
41:57
get whatever you want. It'll subscribe. It'll, you know, I
42:01
told my robot, I love Joe Rogan, but when it's
42:04
an MMA show, just skip it. Don't tell me. I
42:07
don't want to know. I'm not interested. So it's now
42:10
sending you images of Joe Rogan in a bikini? No.
42:13
No. You're taking me off my high, man. But the
42:18
big change here, first we had the chatbots. I hated
42:22
them. I thought it was dangerous. It is. People think
42:26
it's their friend. It wasn't making any tool calls, not
42:30
connected to any actual search. It was just pulling stuff
42:34
out of its butt. Okay, I have a question on
42:37
that. So you were so against the chatbots, and I'm
42:41
a little confused. I get it, but I'm confused because
42:44
you've completely done a 180 from those two. Muse and
42:48
GrokBot and everything else that you're using with AI. You
42:51
were so against AI art initially or AI music, and
42:55
you've completely done a 180 with that. What was the
42:59
issue that you had with chatbots? And I'm not disputing
43:04
it. I'm just curious to get a... Clear view of
43:07
this. And then we should also probably move off AI
43:09
after this because people get mad. Yeah. Yeah. So but
43:12
what but the difference between the chatbots initially and like
43:18
Muse and Grokbot. productivity instead of it being some kind
43:22
of oracle or buddy who you talk to all day
43:24
and that's all we saw we saw people talking to
43:26
him we saw people going off the rails into complete
43:29
psychosis it wasn't it was giving wrong answers because it
43:33
was just getting stuff from the corpus remember early on
43:35
well my training doesn't have any data after you know
43:38
2024 so but then And once they start to make
43:43
– Well, let me finish my answer. All right, go
43:45
ahead. And the fact that it was – I don't
43:48
like the talking back. I love speech to text because
43:51
it's just simpler and easier than typing. But I don't
43:54
want to wait around for it to talk to me.
43:56
Just type back to me. But then they – and
44:00
it started with Claude, Open Claw. I'm like, okay, this
44:05
is interesting because now you have this thing in the
44:08
middle that is steering this language model and making tool
44:13
calls. Then they came out, Anthropic mainly. focused entirely on
44:19
coding and then i saw oh wow i can now
44:21
code all these different things i have real customers with
44:25
godcaster you know make i was making streaming radio stations
44:29
interfaces fractional program directors all kinds of things like this
44:33
like okay this is phenomenal and then as everyone focused
44:37
on the so-called enterprise That's when Zuckerberg, I think, just
44:42
made a brilliant move by releasing Muse, where in the
44:46
actual instructions, it says right off the top, you are
44:49
not a chat bot. Like, yeah, that's right. You're here
44:52
to do things for me. And it's connecting to all
44:55
these data sources. And this is the revolutionary.
45:00
that I think people are waiting for, add to that
45:02
that your phone, which comes with Gemini, if you have
45:05
an Android, you can't get rid of it. Yeah. You'll
45:08
just tell your whatever robot you have, which can be
45:13
Gemini, hey, make an app for me. And then, you
45:16
know, make sure it's safe, whatever, put it on the
45:19
Play Store so I can share it with my buddies.
45:21
This is so popular that Anthropic had to rush around
45:24
and create one of their own. It seems like we
45:28
have a news alert almost every day on Anthropic. In
45:30
fact, we have another one. Kate Rooney, what's this? Hey,
45:33
Scott. Well, Anthropic just announcing its move into AI agents,
45:38
taking on Meta with its own Muse agent that's gotten
45:42
a lot of buzz. ChatGPT and OpenAI have gone into
45:44
this arena. There's the buzzy... instinct agent that's gotten a
45:48
lot of traction in Silicon Valley. Anthropic has been sort
45:51
of a laggard in this space. They have not had
45:54
their own version of an AI agent. So basically the
45:56
version of AI that's a lot more proactive. So go
45:59
out, shop for you, read through your emails, act almost
46:02
like a personal assistant. That's how they describe it in
46:05
this press release that just came out. It's called Duet.
46:08
It is not widely available yet. So there's a wait
46:10
list. They say that they're announcing a preview and it's
46:13
going to be available eventually to pro and max subscribers.
46:17
So the company kind of playing catch up here, Scott.
46:20
I had heard from a source earlier. We weren't able
46:22
to nail it down, but that they were working on
46:24
this, which in some ways is a surprise for Anthropic,
46:27
which has been a B2B enterprise. company, it's now moving
46:31
a bit more into consumer, and this is the answer
46:34
to what Meta has done with Muse, but kind of
46:36
a late mover here, but getting into the aging games
46:38
gap. Not a surprise, though. I mean, in the big
46:41
picture, I think people expected the Frontier Labs to be
46:44
the competitors for Muse. And driving usage. This is how
46:48
a lot of people are adapting and now using AI.
46:50
Yeah. expectation has moved into this arena so they have
46:53
needed to do this and i think you're right scott
46:55
the expectation is you got to have an agent to
46:57
stay relevant at this point so yeah things are going
47:00
to change of course the thing that i when i
47:02
heard this next report i could not believe that How
47:06
dumb these people are. Getty Images. Getty Images. The company
47:11
that was a once go-to source for professional photography is
47:14
planning to file for bankruptcy as it restructures its debt
47:17
and go private. The move comes as AI-generated images create
47:21
new competition for traditional stock photo services. Now tell me.
47:26
How can Getty Images not be doing deals the way
47:31
the music publishers have done? They've got Suno completely under
47:35
their thumb saying, all right, for every single song that
47:38
you put out, we're getting a piece of it because
47:40
you took our stuff. I mean, of course, all this
47:42
imagery was all trained on Getty and images that have
47:45
been out there forever. It's like $500 million in debt.
47:53
But also, where did that debt come from? I mean,
47:55
they're just paying photographers and they have databases of digital
47:59
images. So where's the money going? That's a good question.
48:04
I don't know. But it's just it's baffling. Like you
48:08
could you should be making tons of money off of
48:10
this. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, somebody dropped
48:15
a ball there. Yeah. Should we go and save him?
48:18
You and I could probably go in and save him.
48:20
All that stuff is – yeah, those people will be
48:23
losing their jobs and replaced because it's all digital imagery,
48:27
so it's done. I just – last night or yesterday,
48:32
I dropped a two grand on GrokBot for the year.
48:36
So I'm all in on GrokBot. You dropped two grand.
48:40
Two grand for a buy. I just dropped a couple
48:43
Gs. That is a lot for stuff that basically was
48:47
always free. Yeah. Did you hit limits? Is that what
48:51
happened? No, I was already using the Ultra Plan, but
48:54
I have the – Max plan on Codex and Claude
48:59
and GrokBot, but I've realized that I've been using all
49:03
GrokBot, and I set up Agent 10 can to work
49:07
so GrokBot would... Work as an orchestrator for Claude and
49:12
Codex. So when I'm building stuff, I had all three
49:14
of them working together. And then I just started realizing
49:17
that a lot of that was just overcomplicating it. And
49:19
Grok could just pretty much do everything. And it gets
49:21
better literally every single day. I know. So I'm not
49:24
even using ChatGPT that much or DOT. Dot? You actually
49:30
got a Dot account? No, no. Dot is in ChatGPT.
49:34
Oh, it's part of it? Oh, it's part of it?
49:37
Okay. Yeah, it just popped up one day. And it
49:39
actually does do some cool things like alerts me some...
49:43
issues in my email and stuff. I just haven't turned
49:45
it off and had GrokBot start to do that part
49:47
of it, but it will. And now GrokBot and –
49:51
Grok and X are all in one. So if you
49:56
go on X.com, you can see all of your bots
50:00
and Grok. Everything is all integrated now. It's all integrated.
50:05
And then if you're in a Tesla, it's all right
50:07
there, too. All your bots are within Grok and your
50:10
Tesla as well. Oh, wow. I think we've beaten the
50:17
AI horse. How many listeners did we lose? No, no,
50:20
people love it, man. They love hating us. But I
50:24
love them. I love them because I want everyone to
50:27
be successful. I don't want them to be hating on
50:29
this stuff because it is – the universe just cracked
50:34
wide open with possibilities. And, of course, it is incredible.
50:40
And the time that we live in right now is
50:43
– It's one of, I think, one of the best
50:45
times in the history of humans to be alive right
50:49
now. I mean, yes, it's better than the web. It's
50:53
better. We're being called the AI whores and the AI
50:57
arch wizards. And Scaramanga just said that for $2,000, GrokBot
51:03
better give me a courteous reach around. Okay, okay. Let's
51:08
go to France. I hear it's burning. Widespread disruption across
51:11
France continues as cities remain littered with burnt out cars
51:15
and smashed and boarded up windows. Temporary overnight curfews have
51:20
been in place in some of the biggest towns and
51:22
cities across France, including Paris, Lyon, Lille and Nice, in
51:27
an attempt to prevent... The Prime Minister, Sébastien Le Corneau,
51:50
has warned that ultra-lagration left radical groups are hoping to
51:52
create chaos ahead of next year's presidential election. Our correspondent
51:57
Hugh Schofield sent this report from Paris. By the Place
52:04
de la République in central Paris, the street cleaners are
52:07
still at it, scraping up bits of charred plastic from
52:10
the road. Around the square, there's the sound of hammers
52:13
and drills as workmen patch up the smashed shopfront. Build
52:17
back better. Yeah, right. Ah, it's so true. Today has
52:21
been a day of reckoning. First, reckoning up the damage.
52:24
Across the countryside... 3,000 stores were vandalized and or looted
52:28
on Saturday night. Thank you for reminding me of that.
52:32
Let me see. Do I have it here? Where's my...
52:34
Got it here, don't I? Look. There it is. There
52:40
it is. Yeah. Nice. Feel back better. Like broken ones
52:50
should be with blinding loyalty back to better ones than
52:57
you for a better life beyond your freedom Bill Ooh
53:06
Ah, classic Jeff Smith. Yes. So it's a total October
53:13
surprise for the Republicans right so close to the midterm
53:18
elections because now they can all go out and say,
53:21
See, see, if you want Mondawmi, if you want El-Sayed,
53:24
you're going to get Muslims. Mr. President, Emmanuel Macron is
53:28
blaming the Iran war and you essentially for the rioting
53:31
and frame. right now. I don't think it is. No,
53:33
I think that's the fact that who she with. No,
53:35
sir. Mary Margaret with the Daily Wire. Who are you
53:37
with? What? What? She's like, no, sir. Daily Wire. Oh,
53:41
yeah, no, it's fun. Daily Wire. Oh, oh, Daily Wire.
53:44
Well, your question's okay then. Mr. President. Sorry, Daily Wire.
53:47
Mr. President. Mr. President. The man in your office, he's
53:51
a friend of mine. Mr. President. I told him a
53:53
long time ago, you're making a big mistake in France.
53:57
You're letting everybody from the world come in. The whole
53:59
world was coming in. And, you know, as you know,
54:02
Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon.
54:05
And that wasn't the deal. That wasn't the deal. I
54:08
told him that you should close up your borders. And
54:12
let's see, I've known him for probably eight or nine
54:14
years. years i told him as soon as i met
54:16
him i said you're making a big mistake we closed
54:19
our borders he did and you know what his borders
54:23
are a problem yeah yeah well he's not wrong no
54:26
this is the one thing everyone forgets about trump is
54:29
that he closed the borders and that will solve most
54:32
of the problems but really i've been in europe i've
54:35
been to these countries There's no national unity. Even here,
54:39
you're seeing so much of that creep in. There's so
54:42
many young people who – Well, that's what happens when
54:44
you open the borders and you allow that to come
54:47
in because they don't assimilate. And so that all just
54:50
– I mean it's – But it's not even that.
54:53
If you water it down so much. It's not even
54:55
that. They've been taught in universities, in colleges. America sucks.
55:00
And so what do they do? They all identify. Well,
55:03
I've got to identify with something. Instead of identifying with
55:06
Jesus, don't say anything, they identify with Palestine. Oh, we're
55:11
oppressed. We're the oppressed young people. We're oppressed. That's why
55:15
you see all these Palestinian flags. And then there's the
55:17
pride flag. People want to belong to something, but they've
55:20
been taught to belong to something. these insane groups And
55:24
I got this NPR report about Paris, which was just
55:27
perfect. It's so NPR. In France now, the president there,
55:30
Emmanuel Macron, denounced this weekend's riots that overshadowed largely peaceful
55:34
protest marches across the country with scenes of violence. Largely
55:38
peaceful protests. Where have we heard that before, NPR? Largely
55:41
peaceful protest marches across the country with scenes of violence
55:45
as roadblocks. We'll be right back. Good morning, Michelle. So
56:07
even watching the news... hello good morning michelle hello it's
56:13
a sunny day in my neighborhood is there and has
56:16
been following all this hello eleanor good morning michelle even
56:20
watching the news here we saw these images of just
56:23
very disturbing violence some might say shocking what was macron's
56:27
response last night well let's have a listen Let's have
56:30
a listen. He said nothing justifies, explains, or excuses the
56:38
violence. He spoke of all of France's shame to see
56:40
its towns and streets sacked. He said delinquent. It's great,
56:44
isn't it? I love this report. This was old school.
56:48
Is this like a Saturday Night Live script? Yes, yes.
56:50
Hot mic, hot mic. Hot mic, hot mic, yes. He
56:53
spoke of all of France's shame to see its towns
56:56
and streets sacked. He said delinquents would be punished, but
57:00
said in no way should the violence take away from
57:02
the legitimate demands of peaceful protesters. Let's remember, this started
57:05
as a student protest over better conditions and has widened
57:08
to include public sector workers against skyrocketing energy prices, high
57:12
cost elinities. living inequality in society. But Macron didn't really
57:15
give any concrete proposals. He's leaving that to his prime
57:18
minister. So he was immediately eviscerated by the left and
57:21
the right for not being tough enough and not offering
57:23
solutions. And I hope the young people in America within
57:26
the sound of this podcast just realize that's not happening
57:30
here. You don't have this level of crap going on.
57:35
It's not great. Agreed. There's all kinds of problems. Debt,
57:40
inflation. But come on. This is horrible. And what does
57:45
– look at all the socialism that France has. Has
57:49
that not fixed everything? Why are they rioting? Why is
57:52
this all happening when they have free health care? I'm
57:55
glad you asked. Everything that they are asking for here,
57:58
what happened over there? 35-hour work week. We've got astute
58:04
free education. you get a stipend as a student. Oh,
58:08
no, no, here it is. So I know you've been
58:10
out talking to people. What are they telling you? Oh,
58:13
yeah. I was out on the streets of Paris yesterday.
58:15
Oh, yeah. I was out on the streets of Paris
58:17
yesterday. I was just cruising around after I had my
58:19
croissant, and I talked to some people. I'm telling you.
58:22
Oh, yeah. I was out on the streets of Paris
58:23
yesterday. What a mess. Burned bikes, glass, charred debris everywhere.
58:28
Graffiti scrawled on Lutis' doors saying things like tax the
58:31
rich and capitalism kills. Capitalism kills. I spoke with 23-year-old
58:36
Sarah Barlia in front of a charred Range Rover on
58:39
the street. Oh, no, a charred Range Rover. The symbolism
58:43
of it is beautiful. I think it's coming from a
58:45
frustrated generation and a generation with less and less rights.
58:50
They have less and less rights. Opportunities and worse and
58:53
worse environments. environment. We used to see a lot of
58:57
demonstrations in France, but this level of violence. I mean,
59:01
why do people think it's gotten to this level? Yeah,
59:05
everyone is actually asking that. You know, for starters, yes,
59:07
there is this whole protest culture in France, and it
59:10
often draws small groups of troublemakers. But what we're seeing
59:13
is massive. So is it just a confluence of things
59:16
that got out of control or something deeper? Anyway, the
59:19
government spoke of opportunisticism, It said ultra-left groups who want
59:23
to fight police came out and other delinquents, as Macron
59:26
called them, had shown up to pillage. Yesterday, young people
59:29
were still skirmishing with police in pockets. And I was
59:33
out at Paris' Place de la République. I spoke with
59:36
18-year-old Lila Barr, a student. And let me warn you,
59:39
this contains sounds of police fire. What are you laughing
59:42
at? What are you laughing? What? Just how she talks.
59:49
I can't help her. It's the best. It's the best.
59:51
I know. I spoke with 18-year-old Lila Barr, a student.
59:54
And let me warn you, this clip contains sounds of
59:56
police firing tear gas. We are young people.
1:00:00
Did you say warning that you might get triggered by
1:00:02
sounds of police firing tear gas? Oh, no, I'm so
1:00:05
triggered after I got off of Grand Theft Auto 6.
1:00:08
Okay. And let me warn you, this clip contains sounds
1:00:11
of police firing tear gas. We are young people. We
1:00:16
are students. And we don't like Macron. We ate Macron.
1:00:19
We ate him. We ate him. We ate him with
1:00:20
our hot sauce. We're eating him. We are young people.
1:00:27
We are students and we don't like macron. We hate
1:00:30
macron. And it's like 10 years of repression, of violence.
1:00:35
We don't have enough money to live. So now we
1:00:38
are angry. Oh, there it is. Get a job. Get
1:00:41
a job if you want to. You can't eat. Enough
1:00:43
money to live. So now we are angry. Oh, I'm
1:00:48
glad you warned me about that. So, yeah, she was
1:00:49
one of the mini-youths out there yesterday playing cat and
1:00:51
mouse with the police. Oh, my goodness. This is fabulous.
1:00:57
It's all political, obvious. And these kids, I mean, they're
1:01:01
walking around like, this is the only way we can
1:01:03
change the government. Not... These are not kids. These are
1:01:08
not students. Anyone under 40 is a kid to me
1:01:11
at this point. I just got to tell you. Play
1:01:14
Durden Ferguson. One. Okay. First of all, the protests in
1:01:21
France are students. This protest began very, very peaceful until
1:01:27
sadly agitators jumped in and began the violence. It happens
1:01:32
all the time. We have protests. And these protests. Protests
1:01:36
happen because people are unhappy. Yeah, you either have to
1:01:40
be incredibly incompetent or totally blind to look at the
1:01:44
images and think that this is students that are doing
1:01:47
this. I posted picture after picture on my social media
1:01:50
of the people throwing up signs and smiling as they
1:01:53
were burning down these buildings. They're not students. They look
1:01:57
like they're my age. I'm 45. There are people that
1:02:01
are 30. They're not 17. So you're either a pathological
1:02:04
liar to continue with this narrative that this is students
1:02:08
when it's clearly radical extremists and Muslim Brotherhood inspired individuals.
1:02:12
By the way, you can also just follow the money.
1:02:15
You have to either just be a pathological liar or
1:02:17
you look at the data, more than 70% of the
1:02:20
groups that are involved in the original protests had nothing
1:02:23
to do with student protests or education. They're the same
1:02:27
groups around the world that have also started this type
1:02:31
of anarchy. So you're either sitting here on national TV
1:02:35
lying to everyone because the data says that you are
1:02:39
absolutely wrong. And look at those men on TV. Those
1:02:43
are not students. Those are violent criminals who who are
1:02:46
trying to kill people who are looting Louis Vuitton stores,
1:02:50
Rolex stores, and going after and stealing anything they can
1:02:53
because they hate the country. They have no allegiance to
1:02:55
that country. They want to burn that country down. They
1:02:59
want to then remake it into their own country. Not
1:03:02
because I say so. It's what they're saying online when
1:03:05
they're talking about... about burning down France. And France let
1:03:10
this happen because they were kumbaya for far too long.
1:03:13
And this is what you get when you have no
1:03:14
borders. Why is he yelling is my question. Well, here's
1:03:19
a question. How do you think she then responded to
1:03:21
that? What's her name? Her name is Lisa. What is
1:03:28
it? Lisa Durden. She's a social justice journalist. Oh, I'll
1:03:33
bet she said she responds by this is just what
1:03:38
you're seeing on TV. It was mostly peaceful protests. You're
1:03:44
unhinged. Okay, play it. Lisa, do you want to give
1:03:48
a quick response? And then I want to get to
1:03:50
Niall. Quick response, please. What you're not going to do
1:03:52
is call me a pathological liar. You don't know me
1:03:54
from a candidate. Then look at the data. No, I'm
1:03:56
talking now. You're not going to call me a pathological
1:03:59
liar because you don't know me. So stop that right
1:04:02
now. Next, you can't tell me. I know you have
1:04:04
meetings where you say white people aren't allowed. Excuse me.
1:04:06
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me. me off.
1:04:09
You are very disrespectful. Next point is, you are not
1:04:13
looking at anybody's ID to know who's 45. You look
1:04:17
45, though. You're not 16. You look 45, bro. You
1:04:22
just said he was 45. You look 45, though. You
1:04:27
got some wrinkle cream. You got some wrinkle cream. You
1:04:30
look wrinkled. I want to get to it. Your skin
1:04:33
on crack. You know, if you're black, it don't crack.
1:04:35
Come on, man. There's some wrinkle cream. You look wrinkled.
1:04:39
I want to get to this. Let's get to it.
1:04:42
You should have given her a trigger warning. This is
1:04:44
good. You know, when I went to college for three
1:04:47
months, my roommate, Ty Hamilton from... Trenton, New Jersey. The
1:04:53
first thing he did, he says, black kid. He says,
1:04:56
dude, You better moisturize. I'm like, thanks, Ty. He taught
1:05:01
me how to wash my... Did you get ashy? Yeah,
1:05:03
I didn't get ashy, but he said, you got to
1:05:05
moisturize. And I've moisturized ever since. He showed me how
1:05:08
to wash clothes. You don't know how to wash your
1:05:10
clothes, man. You're not doing it right. Let me show
1:05:12
you how to fold your clothes. I learned so much.
1:05:15
I learned so much. But man, unhinged. Well, there's even
1:05:20
– go ahead. There is another similar where they are
1:05:26
still defending that it is students even though it is
1:05:29
very clear that this is a lot more than just
1:05:32
students play the Jennings CNN. Again, I have questions about
1:05:36
this strategy. Oh, this show. I can't even watch this
1:05:40
show. I know. It's part of – when you told
1:05:44
me to calm down earlier, and I've said this before
1:05:47
on previous shows. Sorry to pause and go on attention
1:05:50
for a second. That's okay. That's what we do. But
1:05:52
doing these clips, man, make me so angry and get
1:05:55
me so riled up. It's because you have to sit
1:05:58
and watch this lunacy just trying to find these clips,
1:06:01
and it's – It's so much, and there's so much
1:06:03
that I just skip over. I'm like, it's too much.
1:06:06
I can't do it. It's too much. I can't do
1:06:07
it. I'm leaving it, leaving it. So what you're getting
1:06:09
is a distilled version of this, a distilled down version
1:06:12
of everything that I'm going through. And as I told
1:06:15
you before, I don't know how you and John did
1:06:17
it for 19 years. It's not easy. Because you're the
1:06:19
condom. You are the condom to these clips. So go
1:06:23
ahead, continue with James. I don't know how I feel
1:06:27
about that, but okay, thanks, I guess. Again, I have
1:06:31
questions about this strategy because it does not seem responsive
1:06:36
to what voters say that they actually care about. They
1:06:38
certainly don't care about France right now in this election.
1:06:42
Well, but they're certainly seeing images that are probably quite
1:06:44
frightening. And I don't hear the president saying anything that
1:06:47
isn't true. France is suffering and all of Europe is
1:06:50
suffering from a migrant crisis. And there are people running
1:06:53
wild in France, burning things down, destroying historical landmarks, looting
1:06:57
stores. I was talking to Christina before the show. And
1:07:01
she did some reality show, and they have to go
1:07:05
find Waldo and flying all over Europe. And she says,
1:07:08
Dad, I was in Denmark. She says, Denmark is awesome.
1:07:12
She says, it's kind of like Holland, but without the
1:07:15
Muslims. Yet, she said. She said, yet. The whole... The
1:07:22
holdout seems to be Poland over there. Oh, no, no.
1:07:25
Poland. They didn't let anybody in. So, no, it's fantastic.
1:07:29
But Denmark, I'm sure they'll fall eventually. And they're flying
1:07:33
the colors of the Palestinians while they do it. It
1:07:37
has nothing to do with anything other than this attempt
1:07:40
to tear down Western civilization wherever they perceive Poland. Weakness.
1:07:44
And right now there is weakness in Europe. They have
1:07:46
allowed this migration crisis. Absolutely false. These things that happen
1:07:49
in France are because a bunch of students started it.
1:07:52
Because they didn't like the way that the country was
1:07:55
being run. They weren't getting enough. It's the same problem
1:07:58
that we have all over the world right now. There
1:08:00
is not enough. for the people that aren't at the
1:08:02
top. There is not enough education. There is not enough
1:08:05
money. We are not being paid enough for our jobs.
1:08:07
There were French students that started this protest. Has it
1:08:09
gotten out of hand? Absolutely. Are terrible things happening there?
1:08:12
Absolutely. But to suggest that what Donald Trump is saying,
1:08:14
that what's happening in France, big spooky thing happening in
1:08:17
France, is going to come over here, because this is
1:08:19
what you're going to get from a radical Democrat. How
1:08:21
many words did he say to you? It's a pre-Palestine
1:08:27
rally. That's where I tune out of that show. Do
1:08:34
you think Jennings will be Jerry Springer? Will Jennings be
1:08:38
the new spokeshole for the White House? There's a lot
1:08:41
of talk about him being the follow-up. Well, it's going
1:08:45
to be interesting to see what happens because with Paramount
1:08:48
now and owning CNN and how that shift will happen
1:08:51
because obviously it's the Ellison. So I think that there
1:08:55
will be – it's not going to go right, but
1:08:57
I think it will start to come more center. So
1:09:01
I wouldn't be surprised if Jennings went there. Yeah. Hmm,
1:09:05
interesting. I mean, he's on that show, but he's not
1:09:11
like... Doesn't he have an actual job that is not
1:09:16
related to CNN? He drops a lot of... of facts
1:09:22
on the lunatics that sit at that table. Well, CNN
1:09:25
is definitely changing. Listen to this. Hi, everyone. I wanted
1:09:29
to give you some news about myself. You know, Christine,
1:09:32
Christiane Anampur. Yeah, Anampur. She was there for 43 years.
1:09:36
About this show. After thinking carefully for several months and
1:09:40
experiencing a few sleepless nights, as you can imagine, I've
1:09:43
decided to separate from CNN. Because I hate the Edisons.
1:09:48
My partner of 43. She's following Kara Swisher out. Yeah,
1:09:51
well, she doesn't ask. Her and Kara Swisher, they have
1:09:55
just as much respect and tenure there. Yeah. Well, she's
1:09:59
doing a podcast, so that'll be fine. Who is? Who?
1:10:04
Christiana Anandpour. So she is following Kara Swisher out and
1:10:08
back to podcasting. Well, I think Kara Swisher didn't actually
1:10:12
leave CNN yet. I think she's doing that. I played
1:10:15
the last one how she's not renewing her contract and
1:10:18
they're begging her to stay. Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, listen.
1:10:22
This, of course, has nothing to do. with students, has
1:10:26
nothing to do with immigrants. It is, of course, Russia.
1:10:33
The grievances that triggered the riots of the 17th of
1:10:37
October originated in France, but were inflamed online by Russian
1:10:42
actors. That was the conclusion of NGO Alliance for Europe.
1:10:46
in their latest report published Tuesday. The group analyzed more
1:10:51
than 500,000 social media and news posts, as well as
1:10:55
almost 13,000 comments on the most watched videos. They identified
1:11:00
a targeted pro-Kremlin operation, in part aided by the Doppelganger
1:11:04
Disinformation Network, which published more than 600 coordinated posts in
1:11:09
the six weeks leading up to the 17th of October.
1:11:13
The operations aim to amplify discontent, shift the narrative to
1:11:18
pro-Kremlin talking points and stir up anti-Ukraine and anti-EU sentiments.
1:11:24
In the aftermath, Russian actors have continued to pick up
1:11:28
and distort narratives online. The pro-Putin network Pravda has published
1:11:33
a thousand articles about the riots, 78% of them after
1:11:37
the event, according to Alliance for Europe. For French President
1:11:42
Emmanuel Macron, It's a problem that extends beyond Russia. Speaking
1:11:46
in Doha on Wednesday... He criticized foreign leaders for manipulating
1:11:51
the protests, in particular to cast blame on migrants or
1:11:54
Islam. There has been foreign manipulation of information in the
1:11:59
aftermath, yes, and that has led to comments that are
1:12:02
as unacceptable as they are stupid from many people, including
1:12:06
foreign leaders. That is to say, we've seen AI-generated images
1:12:09
to depicting scenes that never actually happened in France. We've
1:12:12
had people claiming that we were invaded by hordes of
1:12:15
migrants and Islamists. No, it's all just Russian bots. It's
1:12:19
not true. Don't believe your lying eyes. And everything around
1:12:23
Europe, same thing. And why do you think Russia would
1:12:27
want to amplify social unrest here in France? Is it
1:12:30
part of a wider European campaign here? I think we
1:12:34
need to see this very much as part of information
1:12:37
warfare, as part of the hybrid warfare that is being
1:12:42
waged by Russia and Russia. against NATO countries because they
1:12:47
see the geopolitical threat to Putin's regime and as part
1:12:51
of an overarching operation to essentially degrade our democracies, our
1:12:58
societies, to increase instability and as such, you know, decrease
1:13:03
resolve to support Ukraine or to support Ukraine or to
1:13:05
be united as democracies to be able to export the
1:13:09
kind of autocracy that Putin runs in Russia further afield.
1:13:15
Now, I'll be the first to say that it could
1:13:18
be any intelligence agency fueling anything. It could be us
1:13:22
for all I know. It could be somebody's grok bot.
1:13:24
Easily, easily. But all of this is the old system
1:13:29
dying. That's what's happening. The old, you know, the oil
1:13:34
controlled by the city of London. Notice all these countries
1:13:40
have pretty much one thing in common. They have a
1:13:44
monarchy. You know, that's not no kings. Yeah, no kings.
1:13:50
Well, no kings seems to be the way to go.
1:13:52
And what I've been talking about for over a year,
1:13:55
I think, is finally happening. The arc, America, Russia, China,
1:14:00
which is makes so much sense. Hey. Why don't we
1:14:04
all just be in charge of our own regions? You
1:14:07
know, like Putin, you take care of Eastern Europe and,
1:14:11
you know, you got a lot of resources there. We'll
1:14:14
buy him from you. You want to have that, you
1:14:16
know, make us a best price, a good deal. Xi,
1:14:19
you sit over there, take care of the Pacific, Asia
1:14:23
and the yellow people. And, you know, we'll leave you
1:14:26
alone, too. We're... I'm just thinking like Trump now. You
1:14:30
know, we're a big customer. I don't think even he
1:14:33
would say that. Trust me, he does. He said that
1:14:36
to someone. Hey, J.D., let you take care of the
1:14:39
yellow people. And then we'll take care of North and
1:14:42
South America. We're already doing that. You know, we've got
1:14:45
Venezuela under control. We've got to do something with Brazil.
1:14:48
Let's send our advanced team. Yeah, let's get people... Peter
1:14:50
Thiel down there with his kids. You know, this is,
1:14:54
and then Europe, yeah, I don't know. The problem is
1:14:56
Canada. It is a fait accompli. Canada will...
1:15:00
have to play ball with us, or they're going to
1:15:02
be stuck with this imaginary, you know, best friend BFF
1:15:06
of Europe. This is the change. This is what I
1:15:09
don't think people see or want to see or even
1:15:12
care to see. And it's not 5D chess. It's out
1:15:15
in the open. And so this is now it's starting
1:15:19
to take shape. President Trump now saying he is open
1:15:22
to meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi
1:15:25
Jinping, but expected a meeting to focus on denuclearization efforts
1:15:29
Sunday night. Oh, there's that, too. That'll help. Journal reported
1:15:33
it. Putin has suggested the three leaders gathered halfway to
1:15:36
end the Russia-Ukraine war. Now, President Trump suggested a meeting
1:15:40
could take place without Vladimir Zelensky. And the Ukraine president
1:15:44
expects to meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in Norway
1:15:48
today. Tensions between Trump and Zelensky, of course, have ramped
1:15:51
up recently, centered in large part on Ukraine's accusations that
1:15:55
the U.S. has paused intelligence sharing and throttled Starlink's military
1:15:59
internet service. President Trump told reporters he doesn't know who
1:16:02
ordered the Starlink interruption, but he wants to find out.
1:16:06
He added that Russia, in his words, has been fine
1:16:09
on Ukraine. Yeah, Elon. Squeeze that thing a little bit.
1:16:14
Let them know that we're watching. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze that
1:16:16
a little bit. Just slow it down a bit. And
1:16:19
so now you see all the old lizard people are
1:16:21
coming out, like Thaum Tillis. Republican from North Carolina. Putin
1:16:27
is playing President Trump like a fiddle. And history is
1:16:30
not going to look good on an America that failed
1:16:34
to rise up and defend the Western world. Everyone's so
1:16:37
concerned with history. It's like you're on the wrong side
1:16:40
of history. History this, history that. Well, they burn down
1:16:45
historical buildings. Yeah, exactly. And I believe that a summit
1:16:50
with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, two countries who want
1:16:54
to overwhelm the world, is absurd. How's that working out
1:16:59
for him? China doesn't want to overwhelm us. We're the
1:17:02
customer. So when Trump says today, and I quote him
1:17:06
again, Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't
1:17:10
been doing much. And the same thing with China. What
1:17:13
haven't been doing? What do you even say to that?
1:17:16
Look, when I was in Kharkiv, when we left Kharkiv
1:17:18
and we went to Kharkiv, we were the first delegation
1:17:20
to be allowed to travel that far out. And, of
1:17:22
course, the State Department had a warning to us soon
1:17:25
because we were able to track some of the Russian
1:17:28
drones that were in the air and they were staying
1:17:31
away from us. The point was they were everywhere. They
1:17:35
were dropping. They're dropping on. We went and the ride
1:17:39
to Kharkiv, we saw nothing but devastated civilian grocery stores,
1:17:44
gas stations. We saw schools. Look. He is a murderer
1:17:49
and not doing a lot. What does that mean? He
1:17:51
only killed 20 or 30 people a day versus a
1:17:53
thousand. I mean, my God, one life is too many
1:17:57
at the hands of Vladimir Putin. And President Trump should
1:18:00
know better. He's Tom Nichols. He understands what's going on.
1:18:04
You know. We can speculate about why it is. I
1:18:07
think it's because he lives in a world where he
1:18:10
thinks he's one of several mafia dons. And people like
1:18:14
Putin and Xi are other heads of politics. big families,
1:18:19
and he wants to get along with them, and he
1:18:21
craves their respect because he's basically an insecure and weak
1:18:26
man who is intimidated by stronger men. But, you know,
1:18:30
in terms of what we can do about it, not
1:18:33
much unless... there's a revolt within the Republican Party or
1:18:38
unless enough Republicans are gone in January. But, you know,
1:18:43
again, January is a long time. And I think that,
1:18:47
you know, this is going to be really a difficult
1:18:50
time for Ukraine because America and Russia are basically, at
1:18:53
least the American government under Donald Trump, is allied with
1:18:58
Putin's government. I don't think Americans, you know, I think
1:19:01
Michael's absolutely right. I mean, this is a deeply unpopular
1:19:04
thing. Most Americans of both parties are in favor of
1:19:08
opposing Russia here. No! But Trump has made this very
1:19:12
personal calculation for his own reasons and for his own
1:19:16
interests. Yes. To align with Russia. There we go again.
1:19:22
Yeah. More of that. It just makes so much sense.
1:19:27
This stupidity. Our own lizard people started this nonsense in
1:19:32
2014 in Ukraine. And then we helped kick it off
1:19:35
in 2022 with the full-scale invasion. And the Europeans, they...
1:19:41
Oh, man, I wasn't ready for it. Hold on. Here
1:19:47
we go. I've got cocks to read. Yeah. Hey, do
1:19:55
you think it's a problem that I have my truck
1:19:56
running inside the shop here while I'm doing this? If
1:19:58
you get woozy, just let me know. I'm getting woozy
1:20:02
from my dog's farts in the back seat. He's letting
1:20:06
them rip. What kind of dog is it? He's a
1:20:12
half whippet and a half border collie. So he's super
1:20:16
smart and super fast. So... The EU wants war. In
1:20:22
fact, that was quite the transition. Yeah, well, I was,
1:20:26
I was, I was still there. I was still there.
1:20:30
Where's, where's Ursula? Hold on. Ursula had something weird to
1:20:34
say. Uh, Oh, no, I can't find Ursula. What is
1:20:40
this? Is this the one? The tectonic plates. Oh, yeah.
1:20:48
This is another Russia did it. This summer, we witnessed
1:20:53
the tragic scenes in Ceuta. And we have seen how
1:20:56
Russia and Belarus have weaponized migration. State and non-state actors
1:21:01
are deliberately engineering mass movements of people. Of course, the
1:21:07
goal is clear. They want to overwhelm authorities. They want
1:21:11
to spread fears. They want finally to divide us. They
1:21:15
will not succeed. So this is the little piece of
1:21:21
Spain down there? Where everyone, you know, went around the
1:21:26
fence and then invaded this small town. So she's saying,
1:21:30
oh, there was the Russians. The Russians did that. Yeah.
1:21:34
It was the own. Everything's the Russians. Everything is the
1:21:36
Russians. It's just crazy. So they want war. And, of
1:21:40
course, none of these kids want to go to war.
1:21:42
Yeah. They don't want to do that. But here is
1:21:45
the General Walker, General Sir Roley Walker, talking to the
1:21:51
troops. This went somewhat viral. You didn't know this, but
1:21:57
our nation is going to need you. There was a
1:22:03
time that our nation didn't want to think of a
1:22:07
time when it would need its soldiers to fight in
1:22:11
a war. Indeed, very soon, the political leaders of this
1:22:16
country will start to have a frank conversation with the
1:22:23
citizens. What is going on in the background? They're moving
1:22:26
their one tank around. They hear beeping construction things back.
1:22:32
Who is this? This is the general addressing the troops.
1:22:36
He couldn't, like, hey, everybody shut up while I dressed
1:22:39
the shoes. Well, no, this wasn't supposed to be broadcast
1:22:44
everywhere, but someone filmed it. ...this country about just what
1:22:50
is going on and where the risk lies. They're going
1:22:55
to try and explain to our citizens... that our citizens
1:23:00
have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritize defense and
1:23:07
security. There it is. And then they're going to ask
1:23:12
those citizens, for whom we are not necessarily at the
1:23:17
front of their mind, that they too need to play
1:23:21
a part in the defence and security of this country.
1:23:26
So they need to understand what we do for them.
1:23:29
They need to consent to allow us to do that,
1:23:32
which means sacrifices by them. And ultimately, we're going to
1:23:38
need them to back us, to back you, to do
1:23:42
the one thing that you do that nobody else gets
1:23:47
to do And that is to take the fight to
1:23:49
the enemy. Yeah, that's, I guess, that's the Hegseth of
1:23:53
the UK. So Major General Tim Cross, now he did
1:23:59
some interviews that we can actually understand. And they're preparing.
1:24:03
They're getting ready for it. Meanwhile, the front page of
1:24:06
Today's Times reveals hundreds of British troops will head to
1:24:08
Poland next month. to rehearse deploying to Ukraine in the
1:24:11
event of a ceasefire. It's the first exercise of its
1:24:14
kind aimed at preparing for a post-war situation in the
1:24:17
country involving European boots on the ground. Well, Major General
1:24:20
Sir Tim Cross is a retired British Army officer and
1:24:23
military logistics expert. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning to
1:24:26
you. When we heard from General Saverly Walker there saying
1:24:29
that the public were going to have to be able
1:24:32
to make sacrifices, what did you take him to be
1:24:35
meaning? They sent your kids to war. What else do
1:24:38
you think it means? Well, he's quite right to raise
1:24:40
the issue. I mean, it's been discussed, you know, in
1:24:42
various ways over the last few months. The new battle
1:24:44
space today is not primarily technological. It's society. The decisive
1:24:50
contest is not over capability alone, stuff, but over confidence.
1:24:55
And the battle space extends from the front line to
1:24:57
the family members. Living room, people need to get a
1:25:00
sense of the fact that society is going to be
1:25:03
involved in all of this. And that resilience is about
1:25:06
how do we as a society absorb shocks, sustain our
1:25:09
will to continue the fight and preserve our identity and
1:25:13
so on, to continue to act effectively in pursuit of
1:25:15
our own interests and values. So confidence is a strategic
1:25:20
asset and society is involved in the totality of that
1:25:23
and the whole of society is involved in that. So
1:25:26
military resilience and society's resilience are inseparable from one another.
1:25:31
So what Rody is trying to do is to say
1:25:32
we have got military capability and we can come on
1:25:35
to the training in Poland, you know, get a conversation
1:25:37
about whether that military resilience is. and capability is sufficient.
1:25:41
But alongside that, we've got to build society's resilience as
1:25:44
well. Strong armed forces can't compensate for a weak society
1:25:48
that doesn't have the confidence to continue, you know, the
1:25:52
fight, in inverted commas. They're going to fold within seconds.
1:25:57
This is, it's so sad to see all this happening.
1:26:00
Meanwhile, in the U.S., Gen Z enlistment in armed forces,
1:26:06
15-year high. The military says Gen Z is helping boost
1:26:10
its enlistment numbers to a 15-year high. And some young
1:26:14
service members are pitching the military as the ultimate financial
1:26:18
life hack. No college debt in the military. I wanted
1:26:21
to know whether that was driving young people to enlist.
1:26:25
So I spoke with some Gen Z Army recruits and
1:26:27
aspiring Marines to find out. Ready, go! My first option
1:26:32
was definitely college. There was talks about veterinary, maybe law
1:26:35
enforcement. And I just saw that a lot of our
1:26:38
people are going to be taking up debt from a
1:26:40
lot of their careers and whether that's college. And I
1:26:44
saw that the military pays for that. How old are
1:26:46
you, Lucy? I'm 19. I didn't want to waste my
1:26:49
time just waiting around. or just doing school, ending up
1:26:52
in debt or anything. So I'm glad to be a
1:26:53
part of the reserves program because I can still go
1:26:56
down a path of law enforcement while... Getting good education
1:27:00
and getting all my stuff paid for doesn't leave me
1:27:02
in a difficult situation. Gen Z is coming of age
1:27:04
at a tough time to start a career. With college
1:27:07
tuition on the rise and the U.S. job growth slowing
1:27:10
sharply over the last year, it is much harder for
1:27:13
recent graduates to land a job. They're eager to join.
1:27:19
You know, they want to know the opportunities and the
1:27:21
benefits that the Army has to offer. I speak from
1:27:23
personal experience and how I benefited through education benefits, financial
1:27:28
benefits and stuff like bonuses and all that. But money
1:27:32
is only part of the appeal. For some recruits, the
1:27:36
draw is much harder to put a price on. For
1:27:38
Gen Z, it's to have real-life interactions with others and
1:27:42
to have purpose and meaning offline. It's not really the
1:27:45
benefits of why I'm joining. It's just to be with,
1:27:47
like, a brotherhood. I just want a different pace in
1:27:49
my life. I want to do something hard. Yeah! Now
1:27:52
you're talking! Yeah, Merck. Yeah, these kids aren't... So they're
1:27:59
pretty smart to be doing that, whether it's the military
1:28:02
or something else. You see, like, some companies are starting
1:28:05
to – like, Palantir are starting to recruit kids before
1:28:08
they go to college. So they don't get indoctrinated at
1:28:13
college. So they're grabbing smart kids, like, out of high
1:28:16
school. And hiring them straight in. And military has always
1:28:21
been a great path for people. That's what I did.
1:28:24
It was a great opportunity for me. I didn't go
1:28:26
to college. I couldn't afford to go to college. So
1:28:28
I went into the military, and that was the start
1:28:32
of my – How long were you in? Four years.
1:28:35
I was in the Coast Guard. Coast Guard? Did you
1:28:38
actually sail? Did you get on a ship? I was
1:28:41
at a small boat station, so we did search and
1:28:43
rescue and law enforcement. Oh, and did you shoot anybody?
1:28:48
No, I didn't shoot anybody. We were known as the
1:28:51
humanitarian service, although we did a lot of law enforcement.
1:28:56
The Coast Guard of Small Boat Station is like the
1:29:01
police department. Baywatch? Like Baywatch? Baywatch? A little bit, but
1:29:06
we're not sitting on the beach. We're out on the
1:29:08
boats. Do you feel that your experience, your four years
1:29:12
in the Coast Guard, that that contributed to your skills
1:29:15
as a crack producer? A hundred percent, just the life
1:29:21
in general. If I hadn't gone into the military, I
1:29:24
would have been a total screw up. I mean, it's
1:29:27
good for, you know, I went in, I was 18
1:29:30
and, you know, I was... You know, a bit of
1:29:33
an idiot as a kid. We all were. And it's
1:29:37
in the end of shape. We all were. But it's
1:29:38
– the countries where it's mandatory – I'm not saying
1:29:41
it should be mandatory in the U.S., but the countries
1:29:44
where it is mandatory, I see the value in that.
1:29:47
And it gets people more disciplined and more mature and
1:29:53
ready for life. What do you want for your daughter?
1:29:56
She's 14 now. So what would you like to see
1:29:59
her do?
1:30:00
And it's just going because she's all set on going
1:30:04
to Harvard or MIT or something like that. Oh, no.
1:30:08
Yeah, I know. But she doesn't – You know, she
1:30:13
can – she's – I mean, obviously, my daughter's son
1:30:16
would be biased, but she's pretty smart and doesn't fall
1:30:20
for a lot of, you know, the – You know,
1:30:23
the indoctrination that kind of happens. And she's homeschooling right
1:30:26
now. For the last few years, she's been homeschooling. But
1:30:29
she'll go back to high school. She'll start high school
1:30:33
next year at a public school. But she does want
1:30:37
to – And she's hellbent on going to college, so
1:30:40
I can only be supportive of her. I've sort of
1:30:42
tried to tell her that you don't necessarily need to
1:30:45
do that. What does she want to be when she
1:30:50
grows up? It changes. It varies. So right now she's
1:30:55
writing. I've really pushed her. She's mentioned – acting and
1:31:00
directing a couple times oh no it's like look you
1:31:03
cannot oh no i'm like well because her mother is
1:31:06
still in the business her mother's a costume designer she
1:31:09
was the costume designer house of cards and a bunch
1:31:11
of like presumed innocent a bunch of apple tv shows
1:31:14
so she's spent a lot of time on set no
1:31:17
you know it's been exposed to that world um And
1:31:20
then just news of the stuff that I've done. And,
1:31:24
like, look, I've done that. And so I'm telling you
1:31:29
that's not a good path for you to take. My
1:31:31
experience with that was Christina, who grew up with show
1:31:34
business parents. And then she followed that for quite a
1:31:38
long time. Yeah. you know, doing reality shows and game
1:31:43
shows and influencer stuff. And I remember it was three
1:31:46
years ago. She came here and said, Dad... And show
1:31:50
business sucks. And then she went back to school and
1:31:54
she became a social worker for One Flew Over the
1:31:58
Cuckoo's Nest with like 20 crazy dudes. And she loves
1:32:03
it. She's Nerd's Ratchet. She's great at it. That's pretty
1:32:06
funny. She still does influencer stuff for cash because, you
1:32:09
know, obviously you're not going to make a lot of
1:32:11
money in the health sector. But, yeah, they'll come around.
1:32:14
They'll figure it out. The indoctrination is the scary part,
1:32:17
though. That's worrying. Yeah, that's the biggest issue and concern
1:32:22
that I have with it. But she's super smart, so
1:32:25
she'll – She'll figure it out one way or the
1:32:28
other, and there's still times. It's another four years before
1:32:32
she starts getting into where she's going to whatever school
1:32:36
she's going to be doing. And she's big into animals,
1:32:38
so she's talking about being a veterinarian. But again, she's
1:32:43
young. It'll change, you know. 10 more times. Tell her
1:32:47
she can get a gig on the Adam Curry movie
1:32:49
as a co-producer. Yeah, yeah. She can be like a
1:32:52
gaffer or something. Wait a minute. We're doing it all
1:32:55
AI. No one's showing up for any shoot, man. Oh,
1:32:58
you know, I can't say it because she does do
1:33:00
an anonymous podcast. Oh! So I can't promote it, though,
1:33:04
because then I will blow her cover. But it's really
1:33:07
interesting. It's a literature podcast because she's a big reader.
1:33:10
She reads tons of books. And yeah, I'm not going
1:33:13
to encourage her to be a podcaster. Hey, hey, hey,
1:33:16
hey. It's a decent living kind of, I guess. Yeah.
1:33:23
And I actually have done a couple things with her
1:33:26
to try to push her to more entrepreneurial type of
1:33:28
things. Is she using BrockBot? Is she using bots at
1:33:31
all? She is. She's using ChatGPT a little bit. Yeah.
1:33:37
she did get accused at school for using AI. And
1:33:42
so she got, had to do an after class video
1:33:46
call with the teacher. And because he thought her report,
1:33:52
cause she's a really well read and writes really well
1:33:56
and uses words that I don't even know. the meaning
1:33:59
of. And so in some of her reports that she
1:34:04
does for school, and there was one in particular where
1:34:07
the teacher thought that it was done in AI, so
1:34:10
kept her after and did a video call with her
1:34:12
after and realized as he was asking her questions that
1:34:17
it wasn't AI. She's just... Smart. She's got smart and
1:34:21
uses words like the one she used in the report.
1:34:24
Like anti-disestablishmentarianism. Yeah, she doesn't use that. Remember that was
1:34:30
a thing when we were kids? Like, what's the longest
1:34:33
word in the dictionary? Bet you don't know that, huh?
1:34:35
Yeah, I do. It's anti-disestablishmentarianism. No, it's not. It's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
1:34:41
You're wrong. We're not of the same generation, so that
1:34:44
wasn't happening when I was in school. Oh, okay. All
1:34:48
right. Thanks. You try to say you're part of Gen
1:34:54
X. I am the face of Gen X, boy. The
1:34:57
face of Gen X. Yes, I'm the face of Gen
1:35:00
X. So luckily she's not growing up to be one
1:35:03
of these women. Drama at the WNBA finals. Both teams
1:35:09
find themselves taking huge... heat for walking off the court
1:35:13
before the singing of the national anthem twice. You can
1:35:17
see the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream heading
1:35:20
for the locker room last night in game two in
1:35:23
San Francisco. It happened just before Alanis Morissette began singing
1:35:27
the Star Spangled Banner. By the dawn's early light. immediately
1:35:34
after the anthem both teams returned to the court It
1:35:39
isn't clear why the teams chose to walk off the
1:35:42
court. In the past, it has been seen as a
1:35:45
protest surrounding social justice issues, but neither the team nor
1:35:49
the league have offered an explanation for the new walkout.
1:35:53
This is just ridiculous. Back-to-back nights when you have more
1:35:56
viewers than you might ever have, and you walk out
1:35:59
on our national anthem and show disrespect, Respect to the
1:36:01
men and women of our military. Alanis Morissette didn't seem
1:36:07
bothered by the walkout, posting her excitement to see the
1:36:10
game. I had the privilege of singing the anthem. I
1:36:13
came for the anthem and I stayed for the women.
1:36:15
All the rain. This is such – this is so
1:36:24
dumb. This is so hurtful for the franchise. I mean,
1:36:27
WNBA finally has some heat. I think so. Is it,
1:36:32
though? Because I'm hearing more and more and more about
1:36:36
the WNBA than I ever have. Because of all these
1:36:39
controversies. Well, no, but because of the fighting and all
1:36:42
that, and it's kind of exciting to watch. It's keeping
1:36:46
them in the headlines. Yeah, but you don't want to
1:36:48
do this. I think they need to get back to
1:36:50
throwing the dildos out onto the court. That was cool,
1:36:52
but we don't want to do this. This is still
1:36:54
America. Come on, girls. No. Go play in France. No,
1:37:00
I don't like that. I don't like it at all.
1:37:03
That bothers me. You're here because of America. Where's the
1:37:07
big basketball league in Europe? No, you can participate in
1:37:11
the Eurovision Song Contest. No. Anyway, I'm a little bit
1:37:18
concerned about you for this winter. Me? Yes, yes, for
1:37:24
El Nino. Are we concerned about... I'm actually... Oh, yeah,
1:37:26
the water. Actually, I've got to open the door to
1:37:28
my truck. It's getting hot in here. Okay, you do
1:37:30
that while I play this clip. A super El Nino
1:37:34
is blowing into town, and it could make this upcoming
1:37:38
winter especially brutal in many parts of the U.S. Everything
1:37:41
from sudden, unpredictable, storms to bursts of warmer weather in
1:37:46
some unlikely places. What is a Super El Nino? Why
1:37:50
is it happening? And how will your region be affected?
1:37:53
I'm Mike Bettis. I'm an on-camera meteorologist at the Weather
1:37:56
Channel. Hi, I'm Adam Curry. I'm an off-camera podcaster here
1:38:00
at the No Agenda Show. What is this? I'm an
1:38:02
on-camera meteorologist. That's kind of pathetic. Getting be affected. I'm
1:38:07
Mike Bettis. I'm an on-camera meteorologist at the Weather Channel.
1:38:10
We're talking El Nino and winter. This year, we're anticipated
1:38:13
to have a super El Nino. It's a term we've
1:38:16
really never used before. And what it equates to is
1:38:20
an El Nino that is the highest in recorded human
1:38:23
history. And so the warming of the Pacific waters is
1:38:25
greater than any time we've ever experienced. So what you
1:38:28
generally have is El Nino, warm Pacific waters, neutral average
1:38:33
Pacific waters, or La Nina, cooler Pacific waters. Sometimes El
1:38:37
Nino isn't present at all, and sometimes El Nino is
1:38:40
really, really strong, and the opposite can happen for La
1:38:43
Nina. And in both instances, they can have effects on
1:38:45
global weather patterns. In this particular instance, El Nino is
1:38:50
going to be likely the greatest, warmest El Nino we've
1:38:53
ever seen. And this can happen in cycles, but inevitably
1:38:57
one of the basic things that we'll look at as
1:39:00
to why this El Nino is so strong is how
1:39:03
much has climate change, global warming affected the intensity of
1:39:08
El Nino. And it's likely playing a much larger role
1:39:11
today than it did in years or decades or centuries
1:39:15
past. Okay. So to be affected will be California, granted,
1:39:19
mainly Southern California, but they talk about all four corners
1:39:24
of California. So what will winter look like? No, we're
1:39:26
going to get it up here as well. Yeah, for
1:39:28
sure. We're wondering here in the U.S. And we can
1:39:30
base this off of... Pause it for a second. I
1:39:33
got to let my dog out. I'll be right back.
1:39:35
Okay. Do you want me to just walk around and
1:39:38
just... Yeah, I'll be right back. Hold on. Okay. What
1:39:42
are you doing? Can't you just open the back door?
1:39:45
Or he has to go out of the shop? He's
1:39:48
tired of the heat in the shop. Oh, man. I'm
1:39:57
just going to add it here. It's not very professional.
1:40:03
Walk off set in the middle of the show. Dude.
1:40:12
Do you have to walk to the other side of
1:40:14
the mansion? Ha ha ha. We'll do it live. Exactly.
1:40:23
I'm going to edit all this out. I knew I
1:40:25
couldn't cover for, I mean, just for a second to
1:40:28
let the dog pee, but this is kind of ridiculous.
1:40:32
Mm-hmm. Yes. Yeah, but see, John had the noisemakers. Dana
1:40:39
got all of John's noisemakers, though I don't have the
1:40:42
noisemakers. Holy crap, are you still alive? Hello? Wow. Well,
1:40:53
I can do a bit. What happened? Oh, how far
1:40:56
did you have to go? He was farting in here.
1:41:00
I was worried I was going to have a huge
1:41:02
thing. I had to let him out of the shop.
1:41:04
Okay, I'll continue with my clip. higher El Nino events,
1:41:08
especially stronger El Nino events, plus knowing what the global
1:41:12
patterns tend to do during this time of year and
1:41:15
then with an El Nino. So what that means is
1:41:18
El Nino this winter will likely be most profound on
1:41:21
the West Coast and then in our Southern states. And
1:41:28
what that Yeah. high impact event. I would say especially
1:41:51
in Southern California and as you get into Arizona, these
1:41:55
might be locations where we get a tremendous amount of
1:41:58
rain. And especially in California, I think that's going to
1:42:01
have disastrous consequences. Yeah, disastrous consequences. Are you guys prepared
1:42:07
for the Super El Nino? Yeah, I am. I have
1:42:10
my... Hopefully it'll fill up my pond and my lake
1:42:14
on the property. No, there's a pond and a lake
1:42:18
here, and we're building it. I'm actually – the one
1:42:21
dries out a lot, and so this year we're going
1:42:24
to hopefully be stocking a lot of water. I just
1:42:27
built a big dock that goes out onto the lake.
1:42:30
I went back – With the robot, it's actually become
1:42:34
very easy to find this. I went back to, let
1:42:37
me see, what is it? This is from No Agenda,
1:42:42
episode 1181. So that's quite a long time ago. So
1:42:48
that's 800 episodes ago, 900 episodes ago. And I finally
1:42:52
found, because I looked for this clip before, but now
1:42:55
the robot found it real quick. The 1860 Brewer Diary.
1:43:00
Have you ever heard that? Have you ever heard that?
1:43:01
No. Okay. So this related to climate change was a
1:43:05
big deal back then. You know, everything's, you know, we
1:43:08
got... We have mudslides and we got earthquakes and we
1:43:11
got fires and it's all climate change. But no, California
1:43:16
has always been a hellscape. I was going to say,
1:43:20
it sounds like just a typical year in California. It
1:43:22
has always been a hellscape. Let me get my harp.
1:43:26
I should get my harp. I need the harp. Where's
1:43:30
my, where's my harp? Oh, OK. Well, just imagine I
1:43:36
played a harp. But here's the thing. These fires are
1:43:41
not global warming. This is not something new to California.
1:43:46
And I recite from the 1860 diary from a young
1:43:50
botanist raised in New York, schooled in Connecticut. Okay. who
1:43:56
found himself on the payroll of the newly formed California
1:43:59
Division of Mines and Geology. His job, William Brewer this
1:44:04
is, was to roam the vast new state of California
1:44:08
in 1860, take samples and make observations of plant and
1:44:13
animals. And I recite. and fires I could only describe
1:44:15
Over four years journeying across California, I've witnessed torrential rains
1:44:20
that turned the Central Valley into a vast white-capped lake,
1:44:23
intolerable heat waves that made the fats of our meats
1:44:27
run away in spontaneous gravy, violent earthquakes, and
1:44:34
as great sheets of flames extending over acres. It has
1:44:40
always been hell. There we go. Always been hell. Well,
1:44:51
it's not – I mean, you could think that sometimes
1:44:54
with the fires and the flooding and all earthquakes and
1:44:58
everything else, but –
1:45:00
It is a pretty beautiful place to live otherwise. If
1:45:03
you take away the traffic. Well, I guess that's why
1:45:05
you have a full self-driving car. That's why you have
1:45:08
a flying car. Where I live, dude, is no traffic.
1:45:14
No, no. Not on the rain. I mean, we have
1:45:17
hot summers and... And mild winters, but there's no traffic.
1:45:23
There's nothing like what I used to deal with. There's
1:45:26
nothing. There's nothing. There's nothing there. As my wife describes
1:45:30
it because everyone is like, where do you guys live?
1:45:33
You live, where did you get that much acreage? You
1:45:36
get a lake and a pond and horses. How do
1:45:38
you do that? You're in the middle of nowhere. And
1:45:40
my wife always puts it, it's 15 minutes from Sephora
1:45:43
and five minutes from Starbucks. Oh, well, Sephora. Yeah. And
1:45:49
she goes, it would take me 30 minutes to get
1:45:53
to either of those. That is rather important that you're
1:45:56
near Sephora. I get that. I get that. You get
1:46:01
that? I don't, but I know a female would. No,
1:46:03
Sephora is important, man. What do you use? What are
1:46:07
you getting at Sephora? No, this is where all the
1:46:10
women go. They go to the rim in San Antonio
1:46:13
to go to Sephora. How far is Sephora from where
1:46:16
you're at? Oh, no, it's farther from than you. No,
1:46:19
we got to go. How far is Starbucks from you?
1:46:22
We have one right on the out. We don't allow
1:46:24
any chain stores in the city. You're one of those
1:46:28
places. Yeah. All right. So how far is Starbucks from
1:46:31
you? Six minutes. All right, so not bad. Does Amazon
1:46:35
come to you? Yes, Amazon comes to me. Although sometimes,
1:46:39
I don't know if you get this, sometimes depending on
1:46:42
the driver, they'll leave it at the beginning of the
1:46:45
driveway. They don't bring it up to the door. Oh,
1:46:49
I hate it when they do that. No, that's no
1:46:52
good. I got it set up where on my gate,
1:46:55
my driveway is almost a mile from the road to
1:46:59
my house. It has a rest stop halfway. Yes, I've
1:47:03
heard about this. There are some stops. Yeah. But I
1:47:07
have a thing on the gate connected to Amazon. So
1:47:11
when they show up. Oh, it opens up for them?
1:47:14
They can hit a thing and it'll open the gate
1:47:17
up for them. And you know what you can do?
1:47:20
Well, at least here, they have to put the package
1:47:23
at a specific spot or it won't allow them to
1:47:27
take the photo to prove that they delivered it. Oh,
1:47:30
that's interesting. Yeah. You don't have that there? Yeah. Well,
1:47:33
they have to take the photo, yeah, but I don't
1:47:35
think there's a specific spot, no. Because a couple times
1:47:39
they were trying to put it down on the lower
1:47:41
part of the house and take a photo, and it
1:47:44
wouldn't, and the lady explained it to me. She's like,
1:47:47
no, we have to be within the circle before they
1:47:51
can – They allow them to take the photo, so
1:47:53
they know that it was delivered to the right place.
1:47:56
It was definitely an Amazon package, but I don't know
1:47:58
who – because often they have civilians. They're like –
1:48:01
I get introduced to my civilian Amazon driver. And it's
1:48:05
about to start up. Here's a public service for people
1:48:09
because it's about to start up again with the holidays.
1:48:12
They bring in those contractors that aren't in Amazon. They're
1:48:16
in their own private vehicles. And in areas like where
1:48:19
I live and maybe where you live, it can be
1:48:21
a problem because – People get shocked. Yeah, because they
1:48:24
show up here on the property and you're driving around
1:48:26
like, who is this? What are they doing on the
1:48:29
property? I chased one lady out of here one time
1:48:32
and stopped her at my gate. I drove in front
1:48:34
of her and stopped her because she was driving around
1:48:37
the property. I didn't know what was up, so I
1:48:39
beat her up to the gate. And she jumped out
1:48:41
holding up her badge. She didn't have a vest or
1:48:43
anything. I didn't know. I was holding up her badge.
1:48:44
Badge going, I'm Amazon, I'm Amazon, I'm Amazon. That's great.
1:48:50
That's great. Dangerous. Now, I mean, even when my septic
1:48:54
guy comes, he texts me. We're going to be on
1:48:58
the property just letting you know. It's okay. The dog's
1:49:00
locked up and the guns are safe, so you're okay.
1:49:04
We're out and ready. Yeah, always. Quick little show business
1:49:08
thing because I'm interested in your take on this because
1:49:12
of the world that we live in where everything is
1:49:14
changing so quickly. Yeah. To a generation of viewers, Netflix
1:49:19
has been must-watch TV, the juggernaut behind hits like Stranger
1:49:23
Things, Squid Game, and Wednesday. But this morning, the streaming
1:49:30
giant is hoping new leadership can reassure anxious investors and
1:49:34
re-engage American viewers. On an earnings call Tuesday, co-CEO Ted
1:49:38
Sarandos telling investors the company's position is strong, but said
1:49:43
growth in the United States has been disappointing. There is
1:49:47
no need for a fundamental shift in the strategy. We
1:49:49
do need better execution in the U.S., Last week, Netflix
1:49:52
abruptly laid off about 1,000 employees, roughly 6% of its
1:49:56
workforce, including several top creative executives. We have a responsibility
1:50:01
to make hard tradeoffs in service of our members, our
1:50:05
partners, our employees, our investors, and ultimately our long-term growth.
1:50:09
And that... was the simple thinking behind it. The moves
1:50:12
come with Netflix's stock down more than 25% in 2026,
1:50:17
and more than 40% since last year, when it launched
1:50:21
an unsuccessful bid to take over Warner Brothers Discovery. They
1:50:24
basically just need better movies and better TV shows. Or
1:50:28
is there something more secular happening to the way we
1:50:30
consume entertainment? Like the rest of Hollywood, Netflix is struggling
1:50:33
to keep viewers from spending more and more time watching
1:50:36
YouTube and TikTok. Well, now every media company has a
1:50:39
streaming service. What Netflix does isn't really special. And... The
1:50:43
thing that's really disrupting entertainment now is short-form video. Netflix's
1:50:47
top executives point to a wide range of new offerings,
1:50:51
from podcasts to NFL games and other sports, along with
1:50:54
a full slate of theatrical releases, including Greta Gerwig's upcoming
1:50:58
film Narnia, the Magician's Nephew. But this morning, some analysts
1:51:03
wondering if Netflix still holds All right. You're ultimately very
1:51:10
qualified to talk about this. What do you think is
1:51:12
going on here? Well, I mean, there's quite a few
1:51:16
things that are going on. One, the content they've been
1:51:20
making, they suffer the same issue that a lot of
1:51:22
studios and places have been making. It's overly woke, bland,
1:51:27
just PC crap, and there's nothing edgy or interesting or
1:51:34
– entertaining frankly to you know they're trying to tick
1:51:38
boxes as opposed to make stuff that's truly entertaining that
1:51:43
that's part of it um there's also just so many
1:51:46
well stop there for a second what do you think
1:51:50
the audience wants right now what what is it that
1:51:53
they really want to see Well, the audiences want to
1:51:58
see a diversity of things, but not diversity in the
1:52:02
way of, oh, we have to put – it's got
1:52:05
to be a trans story, and it's got to have
1:52:08
a black person, and it's got to have a female
1:52:10
in this role. Is it really still – I mean
1:52:13
I was watching The Diplomat. A new season. Yeah, I
1:52:16
need to check that out, the new season. That's sort
1:52:18
of last week. Yeah, no, there are shows like that
1:52:22
that are good, but I had a – I don't
1:52:26
know if I told this story already, but I was
1:52:28
working on a project at Universal, and – One of
1:52:33
the directors, it was a husband and wife directing team,
1:52:36
never got made, so you might not know who it
1:52:39
was. But she was insistent. It was a true story
1:52:42
that I was doing with – I had gotten the
1:52:44
rights initially with Mike DeLuca, who just left Warner Brothers
1:52:49
and who will probably – To spend more time with
1:52:52
his family. Yeah. No, I think he will likely end
1:52:58
up at Netflix. Oh, okay. Because I need somebody like
1:53:03
him to come in and start redoing some other movies.
1:53:07
But that's the rumor. We'll see what happens. He can't
1:53:11
entertain them. Movies or TV? Because I think the biggest
1:53:15
problem is what changed – we finally finished The West
1:53:19
Wing. all seven seasons, 22 episodes a season. Is it
1:53:25
this change where they've kind of gone from making –
1:53:31
Well, first of all, the multi-camera sitcom. I miss that.
1:53:34
I think it's too bad that they kind of got
1:53:35
rid of that. But now it's like hour-long, eight episodes.
1:53:40
I mean, is that the right product? Well, there's an
1:53:42
hour-long eight episodes, but what you're watching with the 22
1:53:47
episodes also had commercials. I know. No, I understand that.
1:53:51
But still... 22 episodes. I mean, even if you break
1:53:55
it down and make it, you know, I guess it
1:53:59
would be. Yeah, it's still double what we're seeing now.
1:54:05
But is that a format that – I mean, is
1:54:07
that what people want? Is the binging a problem? Is
1:54:10
the – I mean, it just seems like the format's
1:54:12
wrong. There's a variety of problems. The attention span of
1:54:14
people in the audience has changed dramatically since the West
1:54:19
Wing. And that was, you know, appointment viewing TV. So
1:54:23
people, they, you know, before DVRs or streaming, you had
1:54:27
to be there at eight o'clock when it started and
1:54:29
you got up to get a drink or go to
1:54:31
the bathroom during a commercial. And then you had to
1:54:34
rush back before the end of the commercial. Yeah. That
1:54:38
the technology technology changes have changed, viewing changes. And then
1:54:43
you have things like YouTube where people, you know, they
1:54:46
just are Instagram or Instagram. X or TikTok, where they're
1:54:50
just jumping from one thing to the next. This is
1:54:52
the mistake that I think they're about to make. It's
1:54:54
like, well, you hear it in the report. Short form
1:54:56
video. Before you know it, we get queeby. It's like,
1:54:59
no, that's not what people want. No, well... What was
1:55:05
the argument for short-form video? Well, that's what the report
1:55:11
said, which I'm sure is a Wall Street thing. No,
1:55:13
I think they're referring to what I was just talking
1:55:15
about, like people just doom-scrolling from one video to the
1:55:19
next on Instagram or X or – people are so
1:55:22
used to that. I find myself a lot of times
1:55:24
when I'm sitting in front of – TV show, if
1:55:27
I start losing interest, I'm on my phone, scrolling and
1:55:30
watching different, completely different videos on my phone while something
1:55:34
is on the TV. I end up putting a TV
1:55:36
on now more just for background noise while I'm doing
1:55:40
things on the phone. And usually when I'm high on
1:55:43
gummies, there's the Sonos kicks on at five and it's
1:55:46
playing. And then I have the TV on and then
1:55:48
my phone is playing. playing something and my wife comes
1:55:51
in and goes, there is too much going on. Turn
1:55:54
something off. And I realized, oh, you're right. So that's
1:56:00
kind of my point, though. Hasn't the audience taste changed
1:56:05
so much that we're just really not interested anymore? There's
1:56:09
so many. I mean, I had my robot go through
1:56:11
all my subscriptions, canceled half of them. I'm like, why
1:56:14
am I even subscribed to this? Because Peacock, because I
1:56:17
wanted to see the Eurovision Song Contest. I was like,
1:56:21
ah. Yeah, that's what's happening is they're – they get
1:56:26
one good show and then so you subscribe for that
1:56:28
one show and and then you forget to cancel it
1:56:34
or hopefully they get another show netflix was the place
1:56:37
that had everything first now there's all these there had
1:56:41
you know where you could go and do that on
1:56:43
demand now there's 15 or however many different streaming services
1:56:48
with subscriptions. And so I'll get Paramount Plus to watch
1:56:52
Yellowstone or whatever, the Landman, the new season of that,
1:56:56
and I'll leave it and not cancel it. And then
1:57:01
I'll get Hulu to watch some – movie that's on
1:57:05
it everyone's talking about and not cancel it. This is
1:57:10
going to be a problem for services like this is
1:57:13
what you just said. People are having, and that's one
1:57:16
of the big things is they're having bots go through
1:57:18
and find subscriptions that they're no longer using and then
1:57:22
cancel them. It's like HBO when they had The Sopranos,
1:57:27
people would subscribe to HBO at the start of the
1:57:31
season of Sopranos when this is when they were doing
1:57:34
it weekly. And then at the final episode of Sopranos,
1:57:38
then cancel it and then not renew their subscription until
1:57:42
the following two years later when the new season started.
1:57:48
I think that part of the big problem is –
1:57:54
That Wall Street quality. Well, Wall Street. No, I think
1:57:57
the issue is different. Wall Street viewed Netflix as a
1:58:00
technology company. And now they're just another media company. And
1:58:05
so, you know, they can't grow the same way. They,
1:58:08
you know, they don't they may not get the same
1:58:10
multiple. You know, it's just like they're just a streamer.
1:58:16
You don't think so? Because they make profits. They're making
1:58:20
profit. I mean, that's fine. It's just disappointing. Yeah, but
1:58:23
the profit has to – It has to be better
1:58:25
than the last time every time. That's the trap that
1:58:28
every public company gets into. If they don't continue to
1:58:32
grow as much or better than they did last quarter,
1:58:35
then you're not doing something right as opposed to just
1:58:40
staying steady and consistent and putting out good product. They
1:58:44
have to – that's where Wall Street starts to affect
1:58:47
things. I'm hoping that Wall Street will start to correct
1:58:53
some of the quality issues that we're seeing. And, you
1:58:56
know, it will go away from this woke nonsense. Is
1:58:59
it really still there? Is the woke content still there?
1:59:03
I'm not seeing it on Netflix. I don't see it
1:59:05
that much. Maybe you just got your algorithm a little
1:59:10
more tuned in. But honestly, I don't know because I
1:59:14
– I'm watching less and less TV. You're doom scrolling.
1:59:19
You're on X. You're on X doom scrolling. I'm on
1:59:22
gummies. I love Elon. Doom scroll me, Elon. Doom scroll
1:59:27
me. I love it. And honestly, you're a young man.
1:59:33
Aren't you sick and tired of just sitting on the
1:59:34
ranch? Aren't you ready to do something? Aren't you ready
1:59:37
to get out there and go conquer the world again?
1:59:41
And deal with having to be briefed about, oh, hey,
1:59:44
when we talk to the executive, they, them, and make
1:59:47
sure you don't address them. No. You can do other
1:59:51
things. You can do other things. Well, that's why I'm
1:59:54
doing a Curry documentary. And then that – right up
1:59:57
until the point you tell me – so I get
1:59:59
on some exam.
2:00:00
I could have talked to you like, oh, hey, they,
2:00:02
them, make sure that you – That's when we quit.
2:00:04
So hold on a second. But this is a good
2:00:06
point because – That's why I did quit. Now I'm
2:00:08
feeling like will my docu-movie – what category? What do
2:00:12
we call this? A docu-movie? It's a documentary. Is it
2:00:17
really? A documentary equals no money. Yeah, I've told you
2:00:24
this from the get-go. I told you we're going to
2:00:26
make 50 cents on this. Oh, I didn't realize that.
2:00:29
This is no good. What kind of exit strategy is
2:00:31
this? We can make no money on it. It's not
2:00:33
a good one. It's not a good one. Well, should
2:00:35
we do it just value for value maybe? I don't
2:00:37
know. Did you see – wait. Actually, not a bad
2:00:40
idea. I went to. the movies for the first time
2:00:44
since my own movie, Gran Turismo, which when I screened
2:00:48
out here when Dvorak came out to the theater to
2:00:52
see it, And I went and saw the Elizabeth Holmes
2:00:54
documentary. Yeah. You can see everything or whatever it is.
2:00:58
Yeah. It was going on and on and on about
2:00:59
it. It was good, but it's definitely overhyped. Yeah. But
2:01:03
there is an interesting aspect in it about whether the
2:01:07
guy got paid or not in the ethical issues around
2:01:10
that and being the subject of it. So – Of
2:01:15
course, my mind went, well, I guess we can't pay
2:01:17
Curry. Wait. We're going to have to give all the
2:01:20
money to Tina. No, that's fine. It's a biopic. It's
2:01:25
a biopic. That's the term I was looking for, biopic.
2:01:29
Isn't it a biopic? No, it's not a biopic. A
2:01:32
biopic would be like – It's a documentary? It's a
2:01:34
documentary. That would be like Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles,
2:01:38
or that's a biopic. It's like Kid Seas in the
2:01:42
Picture. That's a documentary. That's a groundbreaking film. It's film.
2:01:49
It's cinema. All right, we'll call it a film. We
2:01:52
won't refer to it as a documentary anymore. We need
2:01:55
to shoot it on. We need a hook. We need
2:01:57
an edge. We need like, you know, we shot it
2:02:00
on film. Yeah, 16 millimeter. No, it's going to be
2:02:02
all done via AI. That's our hook. So as a
2:02:05
producer, it's value for value. You're not really pushing me
2:02:08
very hard on this thing. That's the point. I'm a
2:02:11
little worried. I'm pushing you very hard on what? To
2:02:13
get it done, to get it going. I mean, if
2:02:15
you're really, you don't see it. Yeah, I'm waiting on
2:02:17
you to finish the book. Okay. Okay. So finish the
2:02:20
book and then we'll go from there. Then we got
2:02:22
to get the script. We got to get Scaramanga in
2:02:24
here and our way. Scaramanga. Comic strip blogger. Call him
2:02:29
now when you see us be on the case. The
2:02:32
comic strip blogger is asking me to do his podcast.
2:02:35
No. No. He wants me to do his podcast. He
2:02:40
said I'll get the... I'll be the first person to
2:02:42
get to hear his actual voice. Oh, I can do
2:02:45
his actual voice. I met him in person. He's a
2:02:49
lovely man. He's a lovely man. He came to see
2:02:52
me in London. Uh... When he could still travel. I'll
2:02:57
tell him that you and I will do his podcast
2:03:00
together. That's a good idea. I'll tell you this. When
2:03:04
Comics for Blogger is in your community, you have a
2:03:07
successful community. This guy is one of the most –
2:03:11
in fact, he is worthy of a documentary. He is
2:03:15
one of the most interesting trolls, and he doesn't like
2:03:18
it when I call him a troll, but he is
2:03:21
very interesting how he always goes against everything. Then, you
2:03:28
know, I'm not allowed to talk about where he started
2:03:31
because he gets really mad, but he's been in technology
2:03:34
space before there were smartphones, let's put it that way.
2:03:38
And he would get kicked out of conferences and, you
2:03:40
know, because he would ask really uncomfortable questions. We're putting
2:03:46
a Curry documentary on hold. No. Whoa. Turn all guns
2:03:50
to comic strip blogger. I'm telling you, the guy is
2:03:55
a story. The guy is a story. It would be
2:03:58
super interesting. But that'll be our... Our sophomore project. That's
2:04:04
part of the extra strategy. That's our extra strategy. We've
2:04:07
got to set up a whole network, a whole studio.
2:04:09
And we'll do documentaries on all of the people from
2:04:13
No Agenda Nation. Let me tell you. Let me tell
2:04:16
you, man. There's some interesting people in there. Very, very
2:04:19
interesting people in No Agenda Nation. All right. You've got
2:04:23
clips left over, so I want to let you choose
2:04:25
whatever you want to play here. Um, let's see, I
2:04:29
got a local one here, uh, that is, you know,
2:04:33
everybody's always talking about, you know, ice. Hey, uh, don't
2:04:36
come to 321 Main Street. My, it's where my mother-in-law
2:04:39
is. And, you know, she's an illegal, you know, definitely
2:04:42
don't, ice definitely don't come there. Well, uh, play this,
2:04:46
uh, local ice. A Sacramento County man is accused of
2:04:50
killing his wife, then claiming ICE agents took her. Deputies
2:04:54
say Jasmine Gill was last seen September 30th. Wow. Her
2:04:58
husband, Grinder Gill, seen there on your screen, allegedly told
2:05:01
investigators ICE agents detained her while she was checking the
2:05:04
mail. But ICE says that never happened. Investigators say the
2:05:08
couple was going through a divorce and child custody battle.
2:05:12
Jasmine's burned remains were found in El Dorado County. Her
2:05:15
husband was arrested Wednesday on murder charges and is now
2:05:18
being held without bail. Whoa. Yeah, so I heard about
2:05:22
this, that there was a burned body found on the
2:05:25
road, and that's all that I heard, that there was
2:05:27
like a burned body found off some road up in
2:05:30
– wherever in the county where I live. And then
2:05:33
as I was going through looking for clips for the
2:05:36
show, I found that. And I was like, wow, that
2:05:39
was a pretty clever way to try to hide a
2:05:41
murder. Say ice came and took the person you murdered.
2:05:48
Wow. Yeah. Don't kill your ex-wife, man. It's not an
2:05:53
exit strategy. No, not at all. It's an exit strategy
2:05:57
to prison. No kidding. No kidding. Um, What else? Where
2:06:03
do you want to go? You want to go with...
2:06:05
What's Clue? What's Clue? What's Clue? Oh, we got to
2:06:08
do the show for 1914. Oh, no, we'll do that
2:06:12
in a minute. We're not ready for that. I'm going
2:06:14
to do something else. All right, I'm going to have
2:06:16
to take a break in a second too because I've
2:06:17
got to let my dog back in. But that's where
2:06:19
I'm ready to do that. Why don't you do it
2:06:21
when I'm doing donations? Or does the dog, is the
2:06:25
dog like whimpering wants to come in now? Yeah, probably.
2:06:28
All right. Well, go. I'll wait. Go get your dog.
2:06:31
Go get your dog. Go get your dog. Okay. I'll
2:06:32
set a mark at it. No problem. The curry caster
2:06:35
can take care of all of this stuff. It's a
2:06:38
badass system. Yeah. Alex. I also took the opportunity to
2:06:44
take a leak myself. Whoa. You shook that one out
2:06:47
quick. That went fast. Was it? Yeah, it was pretty
2:06:50
fast. Well, it was hurrying. You're putting pressure on me.
2:06:55
All right. All right. Where are we going now? I
2:06:57
don't know. You brought the clips. All right. Let's go
2:07:02
with... Let me look at my clips here. Go with
2:07:07
Indian researcher, Indonesian researcher. Okay. Where are you from? I'm
2:07:11
from Indonesia, but I live in New York. You live
2:07:14
in New York? Yes. Are you here on a green
2:07:16
card? Are you a citizen or no? No, I'm a
2:07:18
G1 visa. I'm a researcher. Are you able to vote
2:07:22
or do you vote? They give me an option. When
2:07:25
I, you know, for first time I came here, they
2:07:29
asked me to do SS and NYI. and everything and
2:07:33
then they asked me to like give an option do
2:07:36
you want to be a footer or not yeah New
2:07:38
York that's where you live they don't require voter ID
2:07:41
no no have you voted in New York not yet
2:07:43
but yes I'm still like thinking and then like see
2:07:47
around because I'm new here but I'm thinking about that
2:07:51
yeah I mean if Trump passes this bill or if
2:07:53
passes the SAVE Act, then you're going to have to
2:07:56
prove that you're a citizen to vote and you won't
2:07:59
be able to do that? Yes. So you won't be
2:08:01
able to vote? Yeah, yeah. That's why I told you
2:08:04
before that everyone can speak up and then I mean
2:08:09
like everybody just has their own right, right? Yeah. And
2:08:13
then they also pay the tax. Like me, Even I'm
2:08:15
like temporary, I also pay the tax. So I have
2:08:17
right to do some things. Because you're here and other
2:08:20
immigrants are here taking part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they
2:08:22
should have the right to vote. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:08:25
Okay. So because she's here paying taxes and she should
2:08:28
have the right to vote and be able to do
2:08:30
all that, correct? In New York for city elections or
2:08:35
for state elections? Whatever. They didn't define what it was,
2:08:40
but they're saying Trump is going to take that away
2:08:42
from her. But here's the kicker. Play the second part.
2:08:45
Can I go to Indonesia? Is that where you said
2:08:48
you're from? Of course. Of course. Oh no. For borders
2:08:52
in Indonesia, you need to get citizens. Oh no. Oh
2:08:55
man, that's so hot. Damn it. That's crazy. I'm so
2:08:58
sorry. Because they are different. In here, you can get
2:09:01
two citizenship, right? But in my country, it's only one
2:09:04
citizenship. What if I'm an American, I want to go
2:09:07
make Indonesia more like America? I want to be able
2:09:11
to vote. Yeah, so you need to be naturalistic there.
2:09:14
I need to be a citizen there? Yes, yes, yes.
2:09:15
Sorry about that. Okay. Could I do that? Like, how
2:09:18
long does that take? If you are a family of
2:09:21
Indonesia, I mean, like, if you was born in Indonesia
2:09:25
or you have family, was born in Indonesia, especially your
2:09:29
parents are Indonesian, so you can... become a citizenship or
2:09:33
if you have talent or something, profession, and then like
2:09:37
athlete or researchers, doctor, professional that we need so you
2:09:42
can become the citizen. So they have like, yeah, they
2:09:46
have a whole process to make sure that people are
2:09:47
coming to Indonesia that are going to make Indonesia better.
2:09:50
Yes. Yes. And they don't want Americans just flying over
2:09:53
there and voting. That would be crazy, right? Yeah. You
2:09:58
should get a gig. It's like you really need to
2:10:01
drop the. Yeah, I noticed that. My bot messed up
2:10:04
there. Yeah, my bot messed up. But like they don't.
2:10:09
get the hypocrisy. No, no, they don't. It's just fascinating
2:10:15
to me. That's the stuff you're posting on X. I
2:10:21
see you all the time. These people, those people, Am
2:10:25
I wrong? No, but you're such a creative, talented guy.
2:10:29
I mean, why are you giving that all to Elon
2:10:31
for free? Let's do something with that. Forget the Curry
2:10:33
documentary. That's going to be your swan song. But, you
2:10:37
know, you should be doing something else with your life,
2:10:41
man. You don't even read. You don't even read. You
2:10:45
can't even read. I don't need to. I just listen
2:10:47
to audio. I'm on a tractor and just put my
2:10:50
headphones in and just go. Well, what should I be
2:10:54
doing with my life? I don't know. What are you
2:10:57
doing? What are you doing? What am I doing? Yeah,
2:10:59
there was something, I don't know, did I just heard
2:11:01
some... noise thing. Oh, no, I was going to get
2:11:04
us into the next segment, but you kept talking, so
2:11:06
I paused it real quick. Well, you're telling me that
2:11:08
I need to do something else with my life. No,
2:11:10
no, not something else, just something. Something. The Golden Cloud
2:11:15
Ranch is done. It's all set up. You've got your
2:11:19
people working. I'm now a steward of the land. You
2:11:22
think this place is going to work? maintains itself. I'm
2:11:24
basically like a ranch hand here. I need to get
2:11:27
some of these non-voters here helping me. Okay, here we
2:11:34
go. History check. It's the year of the show. Adam's
2:11:38
got no clue. The man just doesn't know. question is
2:11:48
Dana Brunetti. Yeah, everybody. This is a segment Dana started.
2:11:53
Rob Dew has tried to keep it going and I
2:11:55
keep forgetting about it. We look at the show number
2:11:58
and we come up with the historical event that took
2:12:02
place in that year since we're in the 1900s. Do
2:12:05
I play the clue clip or do I get to
2:12:07
guess? Well, this is, yeah, so I got a little
2:12:09
clue clip for this. So it's the year, this is
2:12:12
show 1914, correct? Yeah, I already know what this is.
2:12:16
I know 1914. I did take some history in Europe,
2:12:20
but let's listen to your clip. Okay, well, we might
2:12:22
need to talk over this clip. It's only three or
2:12:23
four seconds. I did it for... so we don't have
2:12:26
any licensing issues, but maybe just talk a little bit
2:12:29
while I play it. Licensing issues. This is a podcast,
2:12:33
man. The only thing that will happen is they'll take
2:12:36
it off Spotify. All right, go ahead. All right. Oh,
2:12:42
it's a jingle. It's a stinger. Go ahead. All right.
2:12:52
I have no idea what that is, but I know
2:12:54
that in 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. There you
2:13:01
go. And the band name of that? Wait, that's... Oh,
2:13:12
man. Who did that Franz Ferdinand? Was that... That's it!
2:13:18
Was that the band? Was that the band? The band's
2:13:21
named Franz Ferdinand. Yeah, I knew that. Yeah, there I
2:13:24
go. Yes, World War I started. Who did that? Franz
2:13:27
Ferdinand. Who did that? Franz Ferdinand. Okay, all right. I'm
2:13:31
thinking plenty. I'm thinking plenty. Ah, you're off, man. What?
2:13:38
You left out. So Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on June
2:13:41
28th in Sarajevo. That started World War I. World War
2:13:45
I. Yeah. No, I knew that. Everyone knows that. Yeah.
2:13:49
Not everybody. If you went to school in Europe, you
2:13:52
do. Yeah. We had peak trollage of 896. Usually you
2:13:57
break a thousand. Usually that's a little bit. We did
2:14:01
too much AI stuff. No, we didn't. No, we did.
2:14:05
Yes, we did. This is what people people want to
2:14:08
know our opinion. They're interested. Not everybody. There's a core
2:14:12
group that really likes it, but a lot of them
2:14:14
hate all the AI talk. But we're here to help
2:14:17
them. This is the whole point. Yeah, they don't realize
2:14:20
that yet. We're in the blue helmets. We're here to
2:14:22
help them. Well, they're going to hate Sunday when Calacanis
2:14:25
is back on because he doesn't know how to talk
2:14:27
about anything else. I'm just going to – Call in.
2:14:32
Oh, okay. Yeah, you can use the same link. Yeah,
2:14:34
drop in. Yeah, of course. I'll just drop in and
2:14:37
give him shit. Yeah, that'll be fun. Although I like
2:14:40
Calacanis because he's clearly a liberal. You know, he's a
2:14:44
closet liberal. He's such a liberal, but hiding hiding like
2:14:48
he's he's not. I mean, it's it's he is waking
2:14:51
up a little bit. You know, you talk about my
2:14:55
my ex post. Look at look at his. The two
2:14:58
of you should get a room on X.
2:15:00
That's what's going on here. And we can just drool
2:15:03
over Elon and AI. Yes, yes. And you'll be outside
2:15:07
the window peeking in like a burv. There you go.
2:15:10
All right. Hold on. We'll be right back, everybody, with
2:15:12
donations. Donations. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.
2:16:01
No agenda God is calling Adam to the kingdom road,
2:16:08
and the weight of that truth is a line bestowed.
2:16:10
God is Adam's exit strategy, clear and bright. God in
2:16:12
every step from the dark to light. We don't just
2:16:14
listen, we donate time, talent, and treasure. Every segment, every
2:16:17
line, everything is measured. Best media deconstruction with a surgeon's
2:16:20
hand. Making sense of the noise across the land. Guest
2:16:22
hosts join in, and the energy climbs. The room keeps
2:16:25
moving with the pulse of the times. From the first
2:16:27
big hit to the final stream. The whole long run
2:16:29
feels like a shared up dream. No agenda nation here
2:16:31
to call. We've been standing through it all. 19 years
2:16:35
and still we rise. With open ears and honest eyes.
2:16:38
Best deconstruction, best we know. Best end of show, mixes

Troll room reminded me that a big event in 1914
2:17:13
was Babe Ruth entering the baseball scene. So I'm glad
2:17:18
you're sticking. Yeah, that's not as big as World War
2:17:22
I starting. It was pretty big. Yeah. Holy crap. This
2:17:30
is, oh, this is quite outrageous. So the don't, for
2:17:32
some reason, I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but
2:17:35
donations are off the chart today. Well, I know why
2:17:40
the troll count is down. I just saw that Rob
2:17:42
Schneider retweeted my repost, whatever you call it, on X.
2:17:48
Slashed, re-slashed, whatever you call it. Yeah. Yeah. Which post?
2:17:51
I used to think that would bring some people. Which
2:17:53
post? Which post? Me and the truck, or my truck
2:17:56
studio. Have you worked with him, with Rob Schneider? No.
2:18:01
uh no i know no we're we're buddies but i
2:18:04
had to think for a second that no we never
2:18:07
did we talked about doing a show kind of like
2:18:09
me and you talked about doing some things stuff that'll
2:18:12
never happen kind of like me and you think things
2:18:15
that we'll talk about forever hey remember when we were
2:18:18
when we were young we talked about that documentary No,
2:18:22
you got to get the book, and then we're going
2:18:25
to get with your folks. My folks? Oh, the money
2:18:30
people. The money people. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay. And then
2:18:34
we got to get some people like Scaramanga, and we
2:18:37
got to get Calacanis and a studio together, figure out
2:18:41
how we're going to distribute this. Yeah. That's the key
2:18:44
is putting it together won't be – I mean, that'll
2:18:47
be easy. Okay. It's just – it's how we're going
2:18:50
to get it distributed. No. Well, there's this thing called
2:18:54
the internet. Well, there is that, but there's marketing and
2:18:59
marketing. I'll just do some interviews. I'll go on Rogan.
2:19:05
Okay, so that'll get 100,000 downloads. What do you think?
2:19:09
How many people do you think will get? I don't
2:19:10
know. What are we selling this thing for? I don't
2:19:13
know anything about that. Look, I'm going to finish the
2:19:17
book in November. So that's my first order of business.
2:19:21
November? That's in a week. No, give me the four
2:19:24
weeks of November and I'll be done. I have like
2:19:27
20 chapters. I'm getting there. I'm getting there. Oh, man,
2:19:30
you're getting long now. Now we've got to distill it
2:19:32
down. Well, okay. And then I have to, before we
2:19:35
can release the book, I have to do the audio
2:19:37
book. I've got to do the audio book version. um
2:19:42
That'll be a bellwether to see how the film does.
2:19:45
Who cares? We already know we're not going to make
2:19:48
any money on it. You've made that obvious. Documentary. Here's
2:19:53
five bucks. All right. We'll do special screenings around the
2:19:57
country. That always works. You do documentaries for the love
2:20:01
of the game, not for the money. Oh, good. Speaking
2:20:05
of, how much did – Alex Gibney's Musk document. Didn't
2:20:10
that finally release? I'm curious how much it made. I'm
2:20:13
sorry. What are you saying? Alex Gibney, the guy who
2:20:17
did Enron, the smartest guys in the room. Oh, yeah.
2:20:20
And he did the documentary on Musk. Oh, the four-hour
2:20:24
Elon documentary? Yeah, I'm curious what it made. Have you
2:20:28
seen it? No, not yet. I'll wait until it's streaming.
2:20:32
Thank you very much. most likely my plan as well.
2:20:36
Like I said, I just went to a documentary. It
2:20:38
was three hours, Elizabeth Holmes' one. It didn't seem that
2:20:40
interesting to me. I didn't know about that. The trailer
2:20:45
was interesting, but then it got... It was... The gimmick
2:20:50
kind of wore off. It was sort of interesting as
2:20:54
a... I don't know but people enjoyed it a lot
2:21:01
more than I did but I'm not saying don't go
2:21:04
see it my expectations were the bar was set too
2:21:09
high which I always hate when I go see a
2:21:11
film when everyone's ranting and raving about how great something
2:21:14
is because then you're just let down Yeah. Yeah. Well,
2:21:20
let's talk about some donations here because it's off the
2:21:24
charts today. Kicking it off with Sir Donald of the
2:21:27
Fire Bottles from Spokane Valley, Washington, coming in with $3,333.33
2:21:35
a rubbleizer. India. Hang on. Come on. 33. Rubble Eizer
2:21:45

2:21:49
United Federation of Planet Starfleet Command letterhead. Dear Adam and
2:21:53
Dvorak family, please find and close my third Rubble Eizer
2:21:57
donation. Reference shows 1667 and 1804. This is my vote
2:22:02
of confidence as no agenda continues on minus JCD. John
2:22:07
was a polymath. He left behind large shoes that require
2:22:11
multiple guest co-hosts to fill. Archduke Sir Donald of the
2:22:14
Fire Bottles from Spokane Valley, Washington. Really appreciate that. And
2:22:20
check it out. Coming in with 2,446. He's back. Seronymous
2:22:26
of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia. And let's say. Where's he
2:22:30
been? Yeah. Well, I don't know. But let's read his
2:22:32
note because he always sends it from a P.O. box
2:22:35
and somewhere in the world. And he says, thank you
2:22:38
to all the producers for continuing to support this valuable
2:22:40
source of media deconstruction. Media uses messaging to influence and
2:22:43
Adams' continued commitment to deconstruct what is said and why
2:22:47
is important to continue. The barrage of media with its
2:22:50
increased ability to target individuals rather than mass media remains
2:22:55
a risk to individuals. Media savvy and politics is an
2:22:59
important attribute, as we learned during Reagan's eight year performance.
2:23:03
He's showing his age here. Having experienced movie and streaming
2:23:06
producer in your deconstruction rotation. And a president that has
2:23:12
been a television producer since 2004, Dana Brunetti's insights into
2:23:18
the differences between movie streaming and television production, followed by
2:23:22
his analysis of Trump's 2016-2020 production series versus his current
2:23:27
production beginning 2024, would be enlightening. Aha! So Sir Annamis
2:23:33
sees this as a show. What are you seeing as
2:23:36
the difference between Trump 1 and Trump 2 from the
2:23:39
media perspective? From a media perspective, I mean, Trump is
2:23:45
Trump, so it's very – Difficult. He is a little
2:23:50
bit more polished, I think, this go around than he
2:23:55
was the first go around. But I'm not sure what
2:23:58
he's asking. I think that I think the question for
2:24:01
me, I think the big difference is in in 2016,
2:24:06
you know, the run up. He had Twitter. You know,
2:24:09
he had – that was what made him. He had
2:24:11
Twitter. And, you know, then he got kicked off of
2:24:14
everything. And so now he's truth social. It's not quite
2:24:18
the same. But I think ultimately his trolling is –
2:24:22
that's his brand. The troll is what makes him so
2:24:26
interesting. Yeah. I think he's a little bit more polished
2:24:30
with it, though. He's not as – although, God, no.
2:24:32
As soon as I say that, I think back to
2:24:34
some of those things he's – Not really. Not really.
2:24:37
It's still pretty off – pretty unhinged, some of it.
2:24:42
But – Yeah, that's – I don't know. I don't
2:24:47
have an answer. Sorry. All right. But I think what
2:24:50
he's saying is that he doesn't think that you'll be
2:24:53
doing a disservice to humanity with you leaving the show.
2:24:57
Well, that's clearly what he's saying. I don't feel bad
2:25:01
about it, but – He has a pre-election question for
2:25:05
local municipalities, data center, temple or mosque. Just wondering if
2:25:10
we've returned to the greatest evil in this election. So
2:25:13
I was going to say on one of the last
2:25:16
shows that I think we should combine data centers and
2:25:20
mosques. In one. There's a plan. You know, Sheronimus is
2:25:25
a Muslim, so be careful. He's not coming back. Yeah,
2:25:31
that's okay. He's not coming back. Why is he not
2:25:34
coming back? I don't know. Don't insult him. Oh, you
2:25:38
mean come back to the show? Yeah. Well, we only
2:25:40
have three, two more shows after this. Yeah, you're right.
2:25:43
I'm going to miss him. But I'm not looking to
2:25:44
insult him anyways. Finally, the effort to dispose of bin
2:25:48
Laden and keep everything secret to reduce risk of visual
2:25:52
martyrdom was wise. Offering a video to undereducated people with
2:25:56
deadly revenge and blood feud cultures is feeding the beast.
2:26:00
Adam, local murderers is one thing. This was political and
2:26:04
it would be unwise. As an American, it will significantly
2:26:07
increase my risk where I travel. And my first live
2:26:11
political assassination was Lee Harvey Oswald. Man, Anonymous is older
2:26:17
than I thought. Yeah, he's given up some age. He's
2:26:21
a seasoned guy. Hey, we just wanted the TV rights.
2:26:26
We never thought about the lives. When we first started
2:26:30
that, there was never a live streaming aspect to it.
2:26:32
I just wanted the rights to it. That's not a
2:26:35
judgment call one way or the other. But I think
2:26:39
that that's – I'm pretty sure that the live streaming
2:26:43
of Hassan – It's not going to happen. No, it's
2:26:46
not going to happen. Thank you very much, Sir Animas.
2:26:49
Love you long time. I mean it. James Mulligan, Charlotte,
2:26:52
North Carolina. $1,000 with a very long note. Yeah, yeah,
2:26:57
yeah. These are some long notes, people. But we'll read
2:26:59
it. I've been a long-time listener from the beginning, including
2:27:02
daily source code. There you go. A folder for the
2:27:04
record. Ah, there you go. We need to ask you,
2:27:06
Dana Brunetti, scruncher or folder? Hello? Dana? Did I lose
2:27:15
Dana? What happened? Let me see. Did we lose him?
2:27:22
Hello? You're still connected. Oh, you're muted. That's why you've
2:27:28
muted yourself. Unmute yourself. Hello. Press the button. All right.
2:27:35
Well, he'll come back when he comes back, I guess.
2:27:38
You are muted, though, just so you know. onward so
2:27:42
he's a folder for the record I have missed John
2:27:46
like so many others but was fortunate enough to hit
2:27:48
my teenage son in the mouth this year before John
2:27:51
passed his comment was priceless hey they make the news
2:27:54
fun This show's media deconstruction has been an absolute resource,
2:27:57
and while I've been moved to earn my knighthood multiple
2:28:00
times, I've found reasons to put it off, most recently
2:28:03
being let go from my job, starting and growing my
2:28:06
own business with all its uncertainty and excitement. But truly,
2:28:10
connection is protection, both on the show and off the
2:28:13
show. Our No Agenda Meetup, our third Thursday meetup in
2:28:18
Charlotte, has been incredibly supportive. After this week's meetup, where
2:28:22
I shared my aspiring title with the meetup, I took
2:28:24
it as a sign with the National Mulligan Day this
2:28:27
past week. Normally, numerology has a stronger pull in the
2:28:29
No Agenda community. But I had to respond to the
2:28:32
call to reflect, reset, and embrace fresh starts given my
2:28:35
new reset, the show's reset, and yours. Are you back,
2:28:38
Dana? Yeah, what did I miss? I had to go.
2:28:41
Hold on. Ready? Yeah. We already did that. I had
2:28:46
to go get another one. I was out. Oh, okay.
2:28:49
Well, I was asking you a question. You just were
2:28:51
gone. If you're reading a long note, I figure it
2:28:55
was a good time to run to the fridge. James
2:28:57
Mulligan continues. As such, I donated hereforth and request the
2:29:01
title, Sir, Replay of the Links and Lands in Between,
2:29:04
given my namesake. As a bonus, to give back to
2:29:07
No Agenda, I will honor a No Agenda discount of
2:29:10
ITM20 for 20% off all... K-Loop wheelchair cushions and mattresses,
2:29:16
C-A-I-L-O-O-P, both in the U.S. and Canada. Since we rarely
2:29:21
hear our ex-U.S. members included for those abroad, I will
2:29:24
work with my partners for your discount. We're currently distributed.
2:29:27
A portion of the sales will also go back to
2:29:28
the show. Please reach me at careloop.com, C-A-I-R-O-O-O. L-O-O-P.com or
2:29:36
careloopmattress.com by email and phone or until my e-com is
2:29:40
set up. Please be patient with the growing pains. In
2:29:43
closing, Adam, I fully support your life change and thank
2:29:45
you and John for all that you have done these
2:29:47
past 19 years in media deconstruction, making it fun. ITM
2:29:50
soon to be Sir Replay for the round table like
2:29:53
some McAllen 12 with a normal fare. Please issue a
2:29:57
dedouching for the delayed night issue.
2:30:00
You've been de-douched. And because of the delayed... a spreadsheet
2:30:10
i have to look up some of these uh jingles
2:30:13
in real time he wants uh al sharpton resist we
2:30:17
much uh i love my truck i think we got
2:30:20
the love my truck and he also wants uh prayers
2:30:24
instead of the regular karma fair i got it but
2:30:28
resist we much we must and we will much about
2:30:34
that be committed. I love my joke and I love
2:30:38
what I do. You've got prayers. Prayers matter all in
2:30:44
all. Coming in with – I'm curious how old Sir
2:30:49
Anonymous of Dogpatch is. If he – when was Lee
2:30:54
Harvey Oswald? What year was that? Well, that was before
2:30:58
I was born, so that was 63. 63. So he's
2:31:03
got to be like in his 70s at least then,
2:31:04
right? I think so. Yeah. Well, it's okay. I'm curious
2:31:09
what he's up to. He's all around. I don't know.
2:31:12
Was there any codes in that number? No, there's no
2:31:15
code. Was it 2446? No, I have no idea. Yeah.
2:31:19
No, but it's triggering something around the world. Someone's getting
2:31:22
killed. That's what always happens with him. Something will go
2:31:27
down. So we're the conduit to that assassination or whatever
2:31:34
is happening? I think so. Okay. Well, it happens. Okay.
2:31:40
Hold on. Let me see. Where am I here? Dame

2:32:55
reach my utility belt there. There it is. You've got
2:33:00
karma. You know, if you guys sent me the notes,
2:33:04
I would read some of them. That would have been
2:33:06
a good idea, wouldn't it? Just comment when you can.
2:33:31
It was the real bonus. The community you have built
2:33:33
is something special. I pray that it lives on and
2:33:35
you guys built the community. To the Dvorak family, thank
2:33:38
you for sharing John with us. Rest in peace, JCD.
2:33:40
To Adam, good luck with the next venture and the
2:33:43
future in general. I'm now a regular listener of WGTDT
2:33:46
and a brother in Christ. So this is not a
2:33:49
goodbye, but more of a be seeing or be hearing.

end. Thank you. night of Raccoon Valley and at the
2:35:41
round table he'll have a medium rare Wagyu Filet The
2:35:46
JCD Challenge coin will be a treasure. John is greatly
2:35:48
missed. And as much as I have enjoyed the Adam
2:35:51
and Friends episode since John's passing, the show was just
2:35:53
not the same without him. Rest in peace, JCD. Prayers
2:35:56
to you, Adam, to John's family and the whole No
2:35:58

2:36:08
Sir, a frothy mix. Night of the Maryland Piedmont. A
2:36:12
round table. Pulled pork and PBR, of course. And some
2:36:15
F cancer to the fellow producers of No Agenda Nation.
2:36:19
We are all fortunate and blessed to have been introduced
2:36:20
to John and Adam and the No Agenda way of
2:36:22
thinking. I found out about this community by way of
2:36:24
John as guests on this week in TV. Yes, that
2:36:27
was one of our best marketing efforts ever. Thank you.
2:36:51
have given to No Agenda over the years, I guarantee
2:36:53
you will find a lifetime of value above and beyond
2:36:56
that of No Agenda. Every one of you have gained
2:36:58
the tools of deconstruction and discernment to apply thoroughly and
2:37:02
thoughtfully and carry you forward through the years. As a
2:37:05
truck driver by trade, I have an above average amount
2:37:07
of time to listen to all the great podcasts out
2:37:10
there. But I... But I would like to shout out
2:37:13
this week in Bitcoin by Chris. Yes, Chris LAS dot
2:37:15
com from Jupiter Broadcasting, who also produces Linux Unplugged. For
2:37:19
a Noagenet perspective, shout out to the Millennial Media Offensive.
2:37:23
Both podcasts have adopted the value for value model and
2:37:25
seem to be thriving. Adam. Might we hear from Mo
2:37:29
of MoFax someday soon? Maybe a guest on We Get
2:37:32
to Do This? You never know. Can I get me
2:37:34
one of them sweet JCD challenge coins and some pulled
2:37:37
pork and PBR at the round table? Yes, all the
2:37:39
love to Mimi and the family, no agenda nation, especially
2:37:42
my fellow truck drivers from Surrey Frothy Mix, Knight of
2:37:46
the Maryland Piedmont. Sure Wolfgang, San Jose, California, 526-36. ITM
2:37:52
Adam, I'm one of the discount nights and nearly missed
2:37:55
it to make it real. I can only imagine how
2:37:57
you feel when the signal fades in 1912. Maybe very
2:38:00
emotional. It was a nice end of show mix for
2:38:02
sure. That was Craig who did that. All the best
2:38:06
for you. That was a good mix. It was very
2:38:08
good. All the best for you and the Dvorak family
2:38:11
from Sir Wolfgang, Knight of the Eichlers. Frank Azenzatz oh
2:38:16
man Azenzatz Armdale, Victoria, Australia 500, ITM, rest in peace
2:38:23
John while it will be sad to see the end
2:38:25
of no agenda the 19 year ride has been amazing
2:38:28
what better way to finish off than with JCD challenge
2:38:32
coin donation of $500. It's well over the level needed,
2:38:35
but thank you. Now I need to find a podcast
2:38:38
that provides the same quality of media deconstruction coupled with
2:38:41
a highly entertaining method of delivery. Let's see if AI
2:38:44
can find something like this and A will be sorely
2:38:46
missed. No jingles, just some wonderful karma. Thank you for
2:38:49
the amazing work spreading the message and evidence about How
2:38:52
inept and compromised most of the mainstream media is today.
2:38:56
Regards from Frank Agenstadt from Armidale, Victoria, Australia. He is
2:39:01
the Duke of Frankness. You've got karma. Hey, you missed
2:39:08
a perfect chance to plug your thing. What thing? That
2:39:15
he's looking for podcasts to fill your podcast index robot.
2:39:21
Oh, well, thank you. Yes, connect your robot to podcastindexrobot.com.
2:39:28
And your robot will have a good time recommending podcasts
2:39:31
to you. Thank you, producer Brunetti. Thank you. I'm here
2:39:35
to help. You should say I have a note. I
2:39:38
have a note for you on that last read. I
2:39:41
got a lot of notes. By the way, am I
2:39:43
getting a Dvorak challenge coin? Yeah, I'll send you mine
2:39:49
if you need. Then you won't have one. I can
2:39:54
maybe get another one. It's really pretty. I mean, it's
2:39:59
– Yeah, no, I've seen it. It looks good. I
2:40:01
have a whole collection of challenge coins from all my
2:40:04
travels, so I definitely need to add that one, too.
2:40:06
I got to find it, though. When I moved, it's
2:40:08
in a box somewhere. You could just donate $388.83. Hello,
2:40:12
pal. I have been. Yeah. Mr. Bob, Sir Mr. Bob
2:40:18
Dabalina Mr. Bob Dabalina from Franklin, Santa C $500, I
2:40:22
was initially upset to hear that the show was ending
2:40:24
but once I heard your reasons I understood, I went
2:40:26
through a similar process myself. I don't know if you've
2:40:29
already done this but I strongly urge you to sit
2:40:30
down and read the Bible straight through literally dedicate one
2:40:34
hour a day every day and read it from beginning
2:40:36
to end, two off Often people jump around reading a
2:40:38
passage here and another there, never fully understanding the words
2:40:41
in their proper context. I've spoken with about half a
2:40:44
dozen pastors and priests and asked them how many people
2:40:46
in their congregations have actually read the entire Bible this
2:40:49
way. Their answers were either very few or none. Now,
2:40:53
he has a very, very long note here. Yeah. but
2:40:59
oh my goodness where should I pick it up but
2:41:02
yes he definitely feels that you should read the entire
2:41:05
Bible you know it's a good point Tina is on
2:41:07
her third run through I've done I've done Probably most
2:41:13
of it, but not in one straight go. That is
2:41:15
on my list to do a piece every single day.
2:41:18
It's probably about a year that it takes. And he
2:41:20
says, he said, I'll leave you with Matthew 7, 21,
2:41:24
3 to 23. Not everyone who says to me, Lord,
2:41:26
Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one
2:41:29
who does the will of my Father who is in
2:41:31
heaven on that day, many will say to me, Lord,
2:41:33
Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and cast
2:41:36
out demons in your name and do many mighty works
2:41:39
in your name? And then will I declare to them,
2:41:41
I never knew you depart from me you workers of
2:41:44
lawlessness what law do you think he's referring to whoo
2:41:47
alex thank you very much mr bob dabalina for your
2:41:51
support and for the note Alex J. Myers, Mount Sterling,
2:41:56
Ohio, 420 and 20 cents. Oh, yeah. And it's a
2:42:00
switcheroo for his wife, Alex Myers, with an I. This
2:42:06
challenge coin donation plus $10.31 for our anniversary puts me
2:42:10
well past knighthood, which I would also like to give
2:42:13
to my wife and make her my dame. On our
2:42:15
sixth anniversary, we will be having a Catholic ceremony to
2:42:18
make us church official. So why not get her a
2:42:20
dame ring this time? The coin is for me, though.
2:42:23
You're going to marry her with a no agenda ring.
2:42:25
Perfect. I started listening in the 20th. 1200s and have
2:42:28
been listening to most if not every show since you
2:42:30
and john have been part of my life since before
2:42:32
our marriage before the birth of my three beautiful kids
2:42:35
ivan jacqueline and kennedy causing a significant coffee habit thanks
2:42:39
gigawatt you and john have been a part of my
2:42:41
life to the point that because of work some weeks,
2:42:45
I'd hear your voices more than my wife's. This is
2:42:47
not good. I've had a weekly donation of $80.08 plus
2:42:52
fees, a cheap boob donation inspired by Kevin McLaughlin, in
2:42:55
an effort to pay back a fraction of the value.
2:42:58
Originally, I'd planned on mailing John a copy of War
2:43:00
and Peace with my night note in sight, but upon
2:43:02
his passing, I realized I'd miss the opportunity. As with
2:43:05
this passing, I'd hope your announcement was a ruse to
2:43:09
drum up donations, but I knew it wasn't. Nope. Happy
2:43:11
for your direction you're choosing, but will forever miss your
2:43:14
takes in deconstruction. Please dame my wife, dame finitely, dame
2:43:18
definitely, oh, dame finitely, right definitely, hmm. I guess she'll
2:43:24
have chicken marsala and a wine. Maybe just leave it
2:43:27
as a JCD wine pairing. The jingles I had in
2:43:30
my mind for when my wife finishes her children's book
2:43:32
as a promo for promo jingle. I'll run on sentences.
2:43:36
Hopefully one day I can meet you at a meetup
2:43:38
if we make it down there or you to Ohio
2:43:40
and possibly buy you a drink. Either in this, on
2:43:42
the book tour, either in this life or the next
2:43:45
love and prayers from the Myers family to the whole
2:43:48
Curry clan JCD family. God bless and safe travels. P.S.
2:43:51
Sorry for the long note, but wanted to see if
2:43:53
I could hear John groan from the other side. I
2:43:55
heard him several times. Oh, brother. Bob Rathmel in Santa
2:44:00
Isabel, California, 419. No jingles, no karma. Thank you, Adam
2:44:05
and John, for 19 years of helping me to think
2:44:07
better. I wish you all the best, says Bob. Sean
2:44:10
Murray. These are ChallengeCoin donations plus fees. Thank you, $400.91.
2:44:15
Thank you for always sharing knowledge and not being afraid
2:44:18
to think justly. differently. All of you are special and
2:44:20
you make a difference in my life. May our good
2:44:22
Lord continue to bless you all. Sir Hank, Duke of
2:44:24
New York, Challenge Coin, thank you for 19 years. Norman
2:44:28
Furley, He says, Note to come, but we did not
2:44:32
receive it, so send it as a make good. Blake
2:44:35
Luther, Challenge Coin. Thank you for all the value over
2:44:37
the years. The show saved me. I will cherish this
2:44:40
coin and look forward to what you do in the
2:44:42
future, Adam. Thank you, and rest in peace, JCD. Sir
2:44:45
X Anonymous, Challenge Coin. If the peerage committee approves, change
2:44:49
my name to Sir Ted's. Just Ted, like Adam, I'm
2:44:52
also in flux right now. Truly sad to see you
2:44:55
go, but where can the rest of the world get
2:44:57
their media deconstruction? You, legacy.
2:45:00
cuts off there. Your legacy, I guess. Thank you. Kelly
2:45:03
McCann. Be right back. Okay. Challenge coin. ITM Adam, I
2:45:07
wanted to let you know that you have done kingdom
2:45:09
work with an NAPod. You've changed the way I interpret
2:45:13
the media and this while I've homeschooled my kids in
2:45:16
the final critical years at home. Do not fear is
2:45:19
a legit command. Brian Nobody with a challenge coin donation,
2:45:26
and he wants the marching pigs. I think I can
2:45:29
do the marching pigs for you. Spot the spook. Spot
2:45:36
the spook. We haven't heard that one in a long
2:45:39
time. Where is the spot the spook? Spot the spook.
2:45:46
Oh, that's interesting. I wonder if this is, no, that's
2:45:51
probably it. And what else? Uh, you got to need
2:45:54
a Bitcoin. Okay. So Manning, Manning drums. Okay. All right.
2:46:01
Adam and guests, Dana Brunet. With this donation of a
2:46:04
challenge, I've become a baron of the Noagent Roundtable. Although
2:46:08
the price was steep, I want to thank Adam, Adam's
2:46:10
family, John's spirit, John's family, and everyone in the back
2:46:13
office for 19 years of this show, which includes Eric,
2:46:16
by the way. I've been listening to the show since
2:46:19
show 1000, sometimes becoming a man overboard, but I wouldn't
2:46:22
trade the insight and friends I have made through the
2:46:24
show for anything. Speaking of friends, my ability to schedule
2:46:27
meetups before we know major show events is uncanny on
2:46:31
John's funeral day and on the first show day without
2:46:34
Adam, both done before the announcements. I'm announcing the Central
2:46:38
Jersey meetup on November 1st. The name is oyster related
2:46:42
because of our usual spot, three BR distillery in Keyport,
2:46:45
New Jersey is having an oyster and bloody Mary event
2:46:47
before the meetup at noon. It is fitting that in
2:46:50
these changing times of the show, I am starting as
2:46:53
a humble douchebag. to a night and finally claiming baron
2:46:57
status. For my claim with Pears Committee approval, I am
2:46:59
seeking to claim a section of the Pine Barons that
2:47:01
will henceforth be known as Nowhere New Jersey Travelers beware
2:47:06
of random bodies in the New Jersey devil with other
2:47:08
assorted weird things, making the name Bare Nobody of Nowhere,
2:47:11
New Jersey. It's noticed too dang long. Yes, thank you
2:47:14
for everything for reading this. Bare Nobody of Nowhere from
2:47:17

2:47:53
comes in with a Challenge Coin donation and says, I've
2:47:56
only recently been smacked in the mouth after my big
2:47:58
brother, Ben, a.k.a. Viking Starbeam, a.k.a. Mr. Explosion. He has
2:48:03
been a longtime listener of the show, a huge fan,
2:48:06
and great critical thinker. I want this JCD Challenge Coin
2:48:08
to be a gift for him. Oh, that's beautiful. Rest
2:48:11
in peace, JCD. I send my thoughts and prayers to
2:48:13
both your families, and I'm going to be a big
2:48:14
fan. I wish you all the best, eagerly awaiting your
2:48:16
next endeavor. Sincerely, Dale McCabe. Skies Window Cleaning Challenge Coin.

Hey, Skies Window Cleaning, serving Hood Canal. God bless. Jonathan

Staples Challenge Coin asking for a deduce. You've been deduced.
2:48:31
You've been deduced. Not long after episode 1910, someone near
2:48:35
the regional airport sent a meow message on the Mesh-tastic
2:48:39
Longfast channel. I should have sent an ITM in reply.
2:48:44
Yes, indeed. The real birdie. wants a beautiful challenge coin
2:48:47
and donated as such. I've been a listener since the
2:48:50
very beginning. Thanks for 19 years of media deconstruction and
2:48:53
learning. You and John helped me understand that the media
2:48:56
lies and the government scams everyone. ITM, peace, the real
2:48:59
birdie. There's Sir Patrick Coble, Duke of the South, with
2:49:03
a challenge coin donation. 19 years, what a run, he
2:49:06
says. We all deeply miss John, but remember that you
2:49:09
two change so many lives around the world with no
2:49:12
agenda, and they'll keep changing lives and, in turn, changing
2:49:15
others. Your next chapter will have even more impact on
2:49:18
the world. Thank you, brother. Sean Morris for The Challenge
2:49:21
Coin. I've been a producer of the best podcast in
2:49:23
years for many years. I've been blessed to have this
2:49:26
show and this family be a part of my life,

Jason challenge coin donation please accept my donation John is
2:50:19
terribly missed by all and is still hard to process
2:50:22
but the community lives on and the deconstruction won't be
2:50:25
stopped thank you for all that you've done throughout the
2:50:27
years with this donation I pass the barren threshold and
2:50:30
humbly request barren of the rockfish valley is my new
2:50:33

2:50:36

2:50:45
Dear Adam, I've been a diehard listener since my sister-in-law
2:50:47
hit me in the mouth in 2020. Surrounded as I
2:50:49
am in Asheville, North Carolina, by the purple-haired, alphabet, no-kings,
2:50:54
woke, TDS, over-vaxxed, gender-fluid minions, NA Nation was the infusion
2:50:58
of Saturday. I survived on connections. Surely is protection. Adam,
2:51:03
it is with mixed emotion that I say congratulations on
2:51:05
identifying your exit strategy. Thank God for WGTDT. I've been
2:51:09
on a Christ-curious adventure for several years, and you sharing
2:51:13
your journey renewed my intent. Do you see? You are
2:51:16
already shepherding. I like everyone, Miss John, and was startled
2:51:20
how grief-stricken I became for a man I never had
2:51:22
the fortune to meet. May the Dvorak family take some
2:51:25
comfort knowing that JCD's life impacted so many of us
2:51:28
and his spirit lives on forever. In all our hearts,
2:51:31
rest in peace, Buzzkill. With a challenge coin donation, my
2:51:35
accounting indicates a Dame title as well. If it pleases
2:51:38
the peerage committee, I would like to be known as
2:51:40
Dame of the Trad Wives. And I would like Nanaimo
2:51:43
bars and bacon at the round table. So ordered. ITM
2:51:47

2:51:50
Jason Watkins. Hello. Hello. I remember listening to the first
2:51:53
show. I've come and gone over the years, but always
2:51:55
returned. I'm incredibly happy and thankful for the countless insights
2:51:58
and laughs from the Noah Jenna family. Thank you. ITM
2:52:01
73, Jason, Kilo, Delta 2, Victor, Victor, Juliet, 73s. Sir
2:52:07
Knives, these are all challenge coin donations. Adam Dvorak, family,
2:52:10
the entire NA community. I can't help but say I'm
2:52:12
writing with a heavy heart hearing that Adam will soon
2:52:15
be retiring. So I felt compelled to pitch in one
2:52:17
more donation before he does and say thanks for all
2:52:20
he has done. Much like John, you will be sorely
2:52:22
missed. Suffice to say that our weekly brunch listening to
2:52:25
the live stream after the range will never be the
2:52:27
same. It's the end of an era. Oh, yeah, I
2:52:29
remember you guys do that. In addition to my desire
2:52:32
to have the challenge coin to remember John By, I
2:52:34
have to confess some selfishness that I wanted the one
2:52:36
last donation that will push me from knight to baronet.
2:52:39
It is truly bittersweet, but I would have hated myself
2:52:42
if I didn't seize on the opportunity before Adam retires.
2:52:45
It's like I'm dying here. If I could also humbly
2:52:48
request some jobs karma, it would mean a lot to
2:52:51
me. I fear I'm not long from my current position,
2:52:56
and the mental strain is causing before searching for greener
2:53:00
pastures myself, and what that will entail remains murky. I
2:53:03
hear you. Adam, best of luck to you, sir. Hunter
2:53:05
S. Thompson put it well with one of my favorite
2:53:07
quotes. There he goes, one of God's own prototypes, a
2:53:10
high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass
2:53:14
production. Too weird to live, too rare to die. Fair
2:53:17
winds and following seas to you. P.S. Sorry again for
2:53:21
lighting you up in the troll room about the meetup
2:53:23
note. It wasn't my finest hour. It's long been forgiven,
2:53:26
man. No problem at all. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
2:53:31
Let's vote for jobs. Yay! You've got karma. Matt, November
2:53:38
Romeo, three Mike. Godspeed, Adam, and soldier on. All the
2:53:42
best, 73s. Jeff Mincy, Challenge Coin, No Agenda Family. Thank
2:53:46
you for the last 19 years of media deconstruction. Adam,
2:53:49
here's to 19 more years of kingdom construction. His love
2:53:52
endures forever. Sir Simon Bennett, Challenge Coin, all good things
2:53:57
come to an end. Thank you for the many hours
2:53:59
of information and laughs. Sir Simon Bennett, Anonymous from Lucasville,
2:54:03
Ohio, $400. Thank you. SLC, I saw SLC in the
2:54:07
troll room today. Gitmo Nation, right after job. Right after
2:54:12
Job loses everything, he says, And naked I return there.
2:54:26
Yahweh is given and Yahweh is taken. Let the name
2:54:28
of Yahweh be blessed. We have enjoyed a great show.
2:54:31
We have grown to love the show, men. Let us
2:54:33
show our appreciation for something that doesn't last forever and
2:54:36
leave the bitterness behind. Adam. Thank you for Gitmo Nation.
2:54:41
Thank you, JCD. Title change, SLC becomes Sir SLC, Knight
2:54:45
of the Day of the Lord. For the roundtable, I
2:54:48
need a minimum two-person inflatable pool centered and filled directly
2:54:51
on the roundtable. It's already there and filled up. Some
2:54:54
matzah and a box of no agenda Merlot. Go to
2:54:56
a Jell-O. Right, Jell-O. Yes. We're ready to have a
2:55:02
Jell-O wrestling contest. The offer of salvation through faith in
2:55:06
Jesus Christ will be brought to all, starting with the
2:55:08
hookers, rent boys, and Raven from Reseda. A baptism and
2:55:11
communion to follow. Hey, you never told me about that
2:55:15
part of it. Well, hang around, man. You might learn
2:55:19
something. I mean, you can have the rent boys, but
2:55:22
I'll take the rest. Who won't see? Let me see.
2:55:27
Do we have these jingles still? Sunday service, which, wow,
2:55:31
I haven't played that one in a long time. Do
2:55:32
we have... Back to real news. I'm pretty sure we
2:55:35
have that somewhere. Let me see. My children, it's a
2:55:38
Sunday morning service. I'm just a no agenda. I'm going
2:55:42
to get some out of courage. I'm going to get
2:55:45
a little joy. Joy. So don't worry. Lord, help us
2:55:49
out. Joy. And now, back to real movies. Glasses. Glasses.
2:55:55
Glasses. Jason Rickman, 38883, the perfect challenge coin donation. Couldn't
2:56:01
pass up the opportunity to get the JCG challenge coin
2:56:03
as a remembrance of someone who was in my ear
2:56:06
for nearly 20 years. Thanks to John and Adam for
2:56:08
so many years of the best podcast in the universe.
2:56:12
And there's Dame Marie of the Greek Kingdoms and Sir
2:56:13
Mark of the Greenwood with their challenge coin donation. And
2:56:16
they said... It's a salute. 19 years of the tremendous
2:56:20
relationship J.C. and Adam brought to our weekly revelry. That
2:56:24
is the No Agenda Show. God continues to bless the
2:56:26
Dvorak and Curry families, especially Adam's new calling. Love is
2:56:29
lit. Sir Tommy Hawk, challenge coin. Thanks for an amazing
2:56:33
run. No agenda. So many memorable moments and amygdala shrinking
2:56:36
insights over the years. JCD's graduation marked the end of
2:56:39
this epic season, and I begrudgingly accept that everything really
2:56:43
does change. Thank you for your courage, says Sir Tommy
2:56:46
Hawk. Sir Dan, the man. He's been around for a
2:56:49
long time. Cape Coral, Florida. 388.83. I understand your reasoning,
2:56:55
but I'm sad you are no longer going to be
2:56:57
doing the show. You and John have been a part
2:56:58
of my life twice a week for at least 15
2:57:00
of your 19 years. I'm not sure what I will
2:57:02
fill the void with. I want to give an update
2:57:04
on our family health saga. The story started prior to
2:57:07
John's passing. I still recall him commenting that this was
2:57:10
the first request for a kidney donation on the show.
2:57:13
Okay. Yes, I have something to say about that. On
2:57:16
October 27th, my wife will be undergoing a kidney transplant
2:57:19
and our daughter is the donor. I'm at times proud,
2:57:22
thrilled, excited, and terrified. The two most important women in
2:57:26
my life will be undergoing surgery simultaneously. Okay. Best of
2:57:30
luck in the next chapter for you and Tina. I
2:57:32
look forward to the book and the movie. I mean,
2:57:35
documentary. I hope you follow through better than John. A
2:57:39
documentary is a movie. Yeah. I hope you follow through
2:57:42
better than John and his vinegar book. Well, the Dvorak
2:57:45
family cookbook will include the vinegar chapters, I believe. So
2:57:50
it's not quite the vinegar book, but close enough. Um,
2:57:55
Where was I? Having heard many of these stories over
2:57:57
the years, I'm sure it will be a fun read.
2:57:59
Please accept my donation, 38883. I look forward to getting
2:58:02
my challenge coin. This donation puts me less than $700
2:58:05
for my dukedom. I wish I'd been able to complete
2:58:07
it before the departure of the two men that provided
2:58:09
the value that made it worth those donations. Thank you
2:58:11
for your courage. Rest in peace, JCD. Sir Dan the
2:58:14
Man, Earl of Southwest Florida Protector. Cape Coral and the
2:58:17
islands of Sanibel and Captiva. And he wanted a mac
2:58:21
and cheese and a shot of health karma. And I
2:58:26
will say it was kind of crazy after that. On
2:58:29
that show, I said, whoever donates... a kidney so that
2:58:35
I would come visit them and take them to dinner
2:58:38
personally. And I said, and John will join you too.
2:58:41
And after that show, John made me take that out
2:58:44
of the show. He was so mad at me. He
2:58:47
was yelling at me like I was going to make
2:58:50
him get on a plane. He's like, you know, I
2:58:53
can't travel. I'm like, dude, like I wasn't even thinking
2:58:56
about it that way. He was so mad at me.
2:58:59
And it was sad. Did you go? I'm sorry. No,
2:59:02
no, no, because he got it from his daughter. We
2:59:05
were thinking it was going to be somewhere for no
2:59:07
agenda. You should go take his daughter to dinner. I
2:59:11
will, but I was sad because John was really angry
2:59:14
at me. I probably hadn't heard of him in a
2:59:16
long time. It was just like, oh... Oh, man. And
2:59:21
I was really taken aback. I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm
2:59:24
really sorry. Take it out of the show. I'm like,
2:59:26
okay, okay, I'll take it out. I was taken aback.
2:59:29
I got notes of some things I need you to
2:59:31
take out of this show. Yeah, good luck with that.
2:59:34
You slaves can get used to mac and cheese. Mac
2:59:37
and cheese. Mac and cheese. Macaroni and cheap cheddar melted
2:59:40
together. Mac and cheese, mac and cheese, mac and cheese.
2:59:45
Mac and cheese. Hey, everybody. You've got karma.
3:00:00
in the 90s i'm glad you're in the hill country
3:00:01
now though i wish you could have seen it then
3:00:03
i've heard it was much better in march 2019 i
3:00:06
caught covid indirectly from a sailor in seattle hey sailor
3:00:10
what i don't know what that's supposed to mean i
3:00:13
think i caught covid from joe buck from who joe
3:00:20
buck Joe Buck? Who's Joe Buck? The sports announcer. I
3:00:25
wouldn't know anything about a sports announcer. Some of the
3:00:29
people that are listening, they'll know. But it's when COVID
3:00:32
was locked down. I went down there. I went around
3:00:35
my ranch everywhere up here, unmasked the whole time. And
3:00:39
then I went to L.A. Everybody had to show COVID
3:00:41
vaccinations and everything. I had to make one for me
3:00:44
to go into this bar where... were going into, and
3:00:47
I was hanging out with Joe Buck in there, and
3:00:49
he was a little sick. Oh, Joe Buck is... He
3:00:52
died, right? Joe Buck, not too long ago? No, he
3:00:55
didn't die. He did now. You just killed him. I'm
3:01:00
sorry. Anyway, in COVID, I... In 2019, I caught COVID
3:01:05
indirectly from a sailor in Seattle. I lost my sense.
3:01:08
That's a great line. I caught COVID from a sailor
3:01:10
in Seattle. I lost my sense. This is bad. I
3:01:17
lost my sense of taste. I don't think he meant
3:01:19
it that way. Is it he or she? Bri, Bri,
3:01:22
Bri, probably Bri, Bri. Probably Brienne. Probably Brienne, I'm thinking.
3:01:28
No, no, no, no, Bri. Bri runs with Guy. No,
3:01:31
it's a Guy. Okay, Bri. Okay. We had the same
3:01:35
issue now when the first time you talked about me
3:01:37
on the show, you misgendered me. So you're probably doing
3:01:39
the same now. I still misgender you. The jury's out.
3:01:43
You do it intentionally now. I lost my sense of
3:01:47
taste and smell completely. I journaled it as it happened.
3:01:50
The University of Barcelona later found COVID in an archived
3:01:53
sewage sample dated March 12, 2019. I don't know if
3:01:58
you knew that. No. Wow. That's quite a note. Hold
3:02:04
on a second. We need the more you – what
3:02:08
is it? Where's my ITM? The more you know. We
3:02:10
need that one. Here we go. The more you know
3:02:14
in the morning. When COVID officially broke out a year
3:02:19
later, I told someone at work I had it before.
3:02:22
Rumors spread that I was nuts. And I had to
3:02:24
fight the gaslighting. Your show helped. I wanted to share
3:02:27
this for three reasons. One, you taught me the government
3:02:29
plays a long game and times its events like the
3:02:32
October surprise. I found Noah Genoa looking for podcasts during
3:02:36
the March 2019 illness, so COVID brought me to you
3:02:40
on a different clock. And the show helped me cope
3:02:43
with hard times at work and with fanbots. Thank you.
3:02:51
Your analysis of the governor media, along with John's takes,
3:02:54
and more recently your guests, is insightful and useful in
3:02:57
daily life. You bring in clips that otherwise miss that
3:03:00
reveal issues we suspect but rarely hear stated outright. I
3:03:03
also remember your takes on public school, grooming, and homeschooling,
3:03:06
helping us with our children. I hope you don't give
3:03:09
up the media deconstruction. Maybe you'd like to bring more
3:03:12
of a God versus worldview to it, correct? It helps
3:03:14
people who are in the dark and those of us
3:03:16
already in the light. You may not be a prophet,
3:03:19
but you hold up the signs. Finally, a shout-out to
3:03:21
my fabulous and devoted wife, Paula, who's celebrating her birthday.
3:03:25
Please give her some birthday karma. Sincerely, Bri. There you
3:03:28
go. Birthday karma for Paula. You've got... Karma. I caught
3:03:33
COVID from a sailor in Seattle. It's just too good.
3:03:42
That's the best. I got to mark that. COVID. I
3:03:46
mean, it's just, hi, I'm Adam Curry. Oh, what do
3:03:49
you do? Well, I caught COVID from a sailor. Yeah.
3:03:54
That's so awesome. I'm just going to use that randomly.
3:04:01
The Seattle part makes it work. Oh, yeah, yeah. In
3:04:03
Seattle. You've got to put the location. Wow. I'm giddy.
3:04:09
Hold on a second. You're on gummies now, aren't you?
3:04:12
No, no, no. Tina needs to bring me the wine.
3:04:14
I don't know if she's listening, but it's that time
3:04:16
now. What are we at? Yeah, it's late. Chris Garcia,
3:04:20
ChallengeCoin, no note. Jason Stewart, ChallengeCoin, no note. Justin Rawlings,
3:04:25
ITM, after doing some accounting, I've also passed knighthood with
3:04:28
this ChallengeCoin donation. John and you will be missed. And
3:04:32
wish the best for you and John's family. Been a
3:04:34
listener at least since the Benghazi days. Woo! Like to
3:04:37
be knighted as Sir Rollins. Rawlings, I'm sorry. Rollings. Rolling
3:04:43
with an S. I got it. Sir Rollings. Justin Rollings.
3:04:46
Dame Lauren, the Lego lady, and Sir Mac, a digital
3:04:49
knight of mead. Challenge coin. Okay. Thank you for the
3:04:53
tremendous value over the years. Adam, as we approach your
3:04:56
retirement episode, we humbly ask for the title upgrades to
3:04:59
Baronet. That's Lauren and the Lego lady and Baronet Mac,
3:05:02
a digital knight of me. Thanks for the memories and
3:05:05
laughs, ITM. Sir James of Norway, in the morning, boss.
3:05:09
Well, I've been putting this off for far too long.
3:05:11
I was knighted on show 570, but never claimed my
3:05:14
knight ring or certificate. Now I see that 33, 33
3:05:17
a month since 2012, plus a few one-offs have added
3:05:21
up to Viscount status. Ordering the JCD Challenge coin pushes
3:05:25
me over the edge to Earl. And I'd like to
3:05:27
claim my protectorate of the southern Norwegian valley of Setisdal
3:05:31
and will henceforth be known as Sir James of Norway,
3:05:34
Earl of Setisdal. Cheers, Adam. Here's to taking off those
3:05:37
cynical glasses and leaving in the drawer along with John's
3:05:41
phone. I'll see you over on... W. W. He said
3:05:44
W. W. J. D. W. G. T. D. T. Yay.
3:05:47
Jesus. He says Sir James of Norway. Sir Bad Potato.
3:05:51
Man, these are some names that go back. Almost seven
3:05:54
years of tuning into No Agenda twice a week, excitedly
3:05:57
awaiting the news breakdown from the boys. I always knew
3:06:00
it would come to an end, but sadness fills me
3:06:02
in the events that led up to where we are
3:06:04
now. JCD will always remain in my heart, and Adam,
3:06:07
your presence here will surely be missed. I wish you
3:06:10
and the Dvorak family a fortuitous future. Still waiting with
3:06:13
bated breath as to the future of the show. show.
3:06:15
Good luck. God bless you all. And he says, is
3:06:20
there any way at all I could beg you to
3:06:21
email the two versions of the In the Morning song?
3:06:23
Yeah, you know, I should publish those. You should be
3:06:26
able to get them from the show notes. Michael Scott
3:06:28
Eager, Silver Springs, Maryland. Adam and friends, I wish you
3:06:31
all the best. I know a pivot like this comes
3:06:33
with a lot of prayer. I'm both happy and sad
3:06:35
for you. Happy that you get your exit strategy while
3:06:38
still living and growing in your faith. Sad that your
3:06:41
stewardship of no agenda will be greatly reduced. I've been
3:06:44
listening since the... CHICOM days when I learned about debt
3:06:48
trap diplomacy. I was listening before I started podcasting and
3:06:52
before I served in elected office in Massachusetts. Now that
3:06:55
I live in the outer swamps of the nation's capital
3:06:57
and work in the data center epicenter of Ashburn, Sterling,
3:07:00
Virginia, I'm back to listening regularly. Thank you to you
3:07:04
and JCD for teaching listeners to hear the unsaid stories
3:07:07
between the reporting. Ah, yes, the condom, as Dana Brunetti
3:07:10
calls it. I have donated before, but this is my
3:07:13
first time as an executive producer. I would love to
3:07:16
plug my Value for Value podcast, Eager to be Healthy,
3:07:19
where we share health and happiness stories from a layperson's
3:07:23
perspective. We are actively booking guests at eager to be
3:07:27
healthy dot com slash booking. And for your podcasting 2.0
3:07:30
audience, our app is waiting on Play Store testing approval.
3:07:34
You can learn more at eager to be healthy dot
3:07:37
com slash eager dash to dash. Listen. I feel that
3:07:40
donating to No Agenda is a good way to prime
3:07:43
the V4V pump, so I'm requesting prayers, joy, and thanks
3:07:46
for Adam and friends in the Dvorak family. Jingles if
3:07:49
you have them. Well, that means you want the prayer
3:07:51
jingle. I saw this guy on X. Oh, yeah? What
3:07:55
did he say? Yeah. He was plugging his app. He's
3:08:00
plugging his app, I presume. Let me play the jingle
3:08:02
for him. You've got prayers. Prayers. You find him? What?
3:08:12
I thought you were going to find him on X.
3:08:15
Oh, yeah, I can do that. I've been scrolling. Well,
3:08:17
don't worry about it. I thought you had something. You
3:08:19
just... No, it was going against something that I... He
3:08:23
was arguing with you on Twitter. How dare he? Hold
3:08:29
on. It was about the... Oh, about Google being racist.
3:08:34
Oh, about asking for a white doctor? Yeah, he said,
3:08:38
ITM, I will bite since it is a health angle.
3:08:42
The wording sucks, yet it does provide, he put comfort,
3:08:46
comfort. When you identify with the caregiver, while not Indian,
3:08:50
my health issues were diagnosed by a provider trained in
3:08:53
India first. I also get medical care in India. Care
3:08:57
was efficient. And then my response was, did you read
3:09:01
the last slide image? Which was. Yeah, that's a pretty
3:09:05
old post, though. You're like, you're reposting old things. Check
3:09:12
the calendar, dude. Hey, hey, hey, Boomer. Listen, it still
3:09:17
holds up, okay? Okay. I know, but it's okay. Well,
3:09:21
that's just me. In this day and age, when we're
3:09:24
not – should we give some context? Sure. Or no,
3:09:28
or just move on. We'll move on. Brian Skelton, also
3:09:31
known as Sir Brian with one eye. Cedar Park, Texas
3:09:35
Challenge Coin. ITM, in honor of our beloved John C.
3:09:38
Dvorak, please allow me to receive a Challenge Coin. Not
3:09:40
owning the coin would be nothing less than bullcrap. And
3:09:43
speaking of bullcrap, I purchased, that's bullcrap.com. to set up
3:09:48
a memorial site for John. If anyone has a favorite
3:09:52
JCD clip, please send it to me and I will
3:09:54
add it to the site. You can contact me at
3:09:57
sirbryanwithaneye.com or sirbryanwithaneye.wtf and I'm happy to announce that this
3:10:03
donation of 38883 upgrades me to Barron. No title change
3:10:07
requested. I'm looking forward to many years of listening to
3:10:10
Adam and Pastor Jimmy on WGTDT. And I would like
3:10:13
to float the idea that maybe, just maybe, Adam would
3:10:16
consider using one hour a week, maybe on Wednesdays, to
3:10:19
do a podcast with his lovely roommate. He's talking about
3:10:22
Curry and the Keeper. Yes, I'm being dragged back into
3:10:25
that, and I'm looking forward to it, where Tina gets
3:10:28
to make fun of me for a full hour a
3:10:30
week. In the morning, y'all. That's bullcrap.com. It says website
3:10:36
under development. And then there's a picture of Dvorak saying
3:10:41
bullcrap. Okay. And that's it. It's under construction, as we
3:10:46
used to say. Development. Yeah, no. Back in the day,
3:10:50
I had a little guy with a hard hat. Yeah,
3:10:52
yeah. And then standing at the road, like he's in
3:10:54
the road thing. Jer Nelson. Jer Ratcliffe, I'm sorry, from
3:10:58
Nelson, British Columbia, Scandinavia, 383. Adam, thank you for all
3:11:02
that you do for us. I've been a fan of
3:11:04
the scathing observations and wry, impish wit of columnist John
3:11:08
C. Dvorak since I was a teenager. Yeah. and would
3:11:10
buy issues of PC computing for his column alone. And
3:11:14
so please accept my too little too late note and
3:11:16
a challenge coin donation. It puts my monthly 3333 Mothership
3:11:20
Boarding Pass donation from October 2011. It brings me to
3:11:23
Viscount status with $1,000 left over for an honest damehood
3:11:28
for my patient wife, accounting provided. If it should please
3:11:31
the peerage committee, we would like to claim the titles
3:11:34
of Sir Ratcliffe. Viscount of the Unfinished Basement and Dame
3:11:38
Haley Ratcliffe at the round table will enjoy coffee and
3:11:42
cartoons. Oh, and as a jingle, can I hear John's
3:11:47
going to read the Sunday Times. Yeah, boy, that's a
3:11:52
These are good ones. Yes, that's a Kevin Reeves. And
3:11:55
to the producers, hug your podcasters because you never know.
3:12:01
John's gonna hum the Sunday Times. Hum the Sunday Times.
3:12:06
Yeah. Wow, that's an old one. Alan of Gen X,
3:12:10
St. Paul, Minnesota. Uh... Emailed, Adam, I enjoyed show 1902,
3:12:16
the MTV Chronicles, and your previously untold story shared with
3:12:20
Laren and Derry et al. You were my favorite VJ.
3:12:23
And even though my Christian school homeroom teacher discouraged rock
3:12:26
music and videos, I turned out okay. In present day,
3:12:29
I'm solidly on my faith journey, and you're in my
3:12:32
life again with no agenda and WGTDT. Thank you. Something
3:12:36
interesting for you. I have Debbie Harry's 1989 solo album
3:12:40
and her song, End of the Run. She says the
3:12:43
phrase value for value. Wow. How about that? I'll have
3:12:49
to check it out. I thought you might get a
3:12:50
kick out of that. Can I get some monk karma?
3:12:53
Love and light, Alan of Gen X. Do we have
3:12:55
monk? Scaramanga just posted a artwork of the... Joe Buck
3:13:02
getting hugged by a sailor. A sailor. You've got karma.
3:13:13
Hey, people. I'm really digging these jingles. Yeah. He did
3:13:17
another one of my 450, but it's a gummy drive
3:13:21
and it's smoking a... And it's got rocket thrusters, but
3:13:26
it doesn't have my dog in the back. You got
3:13:28
to redo that one. Oh, okay. I'm just giving notes
3:13:32
on the artwork. Yes, I can tell. It's slim picking.
3:13:37
I can tell. I can tell. Baronet Michael Robinson, Salem,
3:13:41
Oregon, 38883, attached to the Note page five, which I
3:13:48
have here. Oops. I just blew out here. There we
3:13:53
go. Thank you for the many years of deconstruction. This
3:13:56
challenge coin donation brings me to Barron. Can I be
3:13:59
the Baron of Willamette Valley? Well, of course. And notice
3:14:02
I pronounce it Willamette Valley correctly. Keeping it short in
3:14:05
honor of JCD. Keep up the good work, Kilo 5
3:14:07
Alpha Charlie Charlie. Thank you very much, Baronet Michael Robinson.
3:14:10
You got it. Sir Commodore Cliffy, and he also sent
3:14:14
in a note, which is on page 7. And let's
3:14:18
see. What does he say here? Uh... I think this
3:14:24
is him. Commodore Cliffy. Page seven. Wait, let me see.
3:14:30
Where are we here? Oh, dear Adam and JCD family,
3:14:33
I couldn't resist the Challenge Coin promotion. We all miss
3:14:37
John, but long live no agenda. Keep up the good
3:14:40
work. And he wants... No sweat off my balls. Okay,
3:14:45
we got that one. Sweat off my balls. Yes. What
3:14:49
else did you want? He wanted, I love my truck.
3:14:53
I'm so glad I recorded that. Do you have that
3:14:58
noisemaker? I love my...
3:15:00
Did you get that one? I don't, no. I have
3:15:02
the harmonica, the pig, and the cow, and the train
3:15:07
whistle, and the bell. Ah, yes, you have the bell.
3:15:11
It's no sweat off my balls. I love my tracks.
3:15:15
And he wanted a yay at the end, so we
3:15:19
give that to him as well. Ed is in Summit,
3:15:21
New Jersey. ITM, thank you for all working so hard
3:15:24
to continue the best podcast in the universe. Adam, let
3:15:27
me throw my vote in for John's cousin, Dana. I
3:15:30
thought it was... I'm not his cousin. I'm his nephew.
3:15:35
Kissing cousin, maybe. He seemed to be groomed for this
3:15:38
role. Hey, sailor. From the bell to the tip of
3:15:41
the day to the scoffing at eternal salvation. I like
3:15:45
your other guests, too, and mixing it up keeps it
3:15:47
fresh. But my mail-in vote goes to Dana. Heck, they're
3:15:51
all a part. There you go. They're all part of
3:15:53
the No Agenda. a fam. Podfather, indeed, keep up the
3:15:56
great work. I've been following your light. Keep it shining.
3:15:59
Ed from Summit. P.S. I should be a knight by
3:16:01
now, but please make this a switcheroo and knight my
3:16:04
teenage son instead. Please knight him. Sir Catching Sense. and
3:16:08
allow him to have roasted salmon with the skin and
3:16:11
cookie monster ice cream at the round table. You got
3:16:17
it. Then we have Bob from Monmouth, Oregon. What are
3:16:22
you doing? That was a brightness nanomine pen. What are
3:16:25
you doing? Dana. Oh, you're writing something down. Dana won.
3:16:31
Dana won. Oh, there you go. That was a vote
3:16:34
for me. Yeah, that was definitely a vote for you.
3:16:38
J-Cow, zero. Zero. Rob Dew, zero. Matt Long is now
3:16:42
on his list, zero. We're at the Associate Executive Producers
3:16:47
$250 from Bob, and Bob sent in a note. Hello,
3:16:49
Adam. I thought I should send money now. I send
3:16:52
quarterly, and I'm always behind. I figure it was important
3:16:56
to not be a slow pay this time. It is
3:17:00
always sad to see something so well done end, but
3:17:05
all life has changed and all things, even marvelous things,
3:17:09
end. At the end of a job, the best thing
3:17:12
to hear is, that was a success, that was fun.
3:17:15
Thank you, Adam. This has been fun. Can you play
3:17:19
We're All Gonna Die or just slip me some karma?
3:17:21
Well, why don't I do both? I can do We're
3:17:23
All Gonna Die and give you some karma. We're all
3:17:26
gonna die! Oh, wait. I missed the karma. There it
3:17:32
is. I got the karma for you. You've got karma.
3:17:38
You're doing it. What's that? You should do is –
3:17:41
well, you only got two shows, but your bot should
3:17:45
listen along and cue these up and just put them
3:17:48
together as you're reading a note. Wow, I could have
3:17:51
thought of that one. That's the biggest problem with this
3:17:54
AI stuff is you forget the easiest things that you
3:17:57
can do with them. The things that they can do.
3:17:59
Oh, man. Well, actually, I just didn't have time for
3:18:02
it, but I have the spreadsheet I can click. It
3:18:05
does pull out the jingles on the spreadsheet, and I
3:18:07
can click it, but… I never got around to improving
3:18:10
it where it selects them all. So if there's more
3:18:13
than one jingle, it takes several clicks, and it would
3:18:15
be just easier for me to search it. But normally
3:18:18
if I get the spreadsheet early enough, then it's all
3:18:20
set up. But that's a good one. Thanks. Thanks. Thank
3:18:25
you, Sailor from Seattle. I did not give that girl
3:18:30
COVID or die. Dee Billy in Cantonville, Florida, 212 and
3:18:36
28 cents. There are two things I do not like
3:18:38
about the show, and that is the de-douching jingle and
3:18:41
the double-up karma, hence the note. Please do not play
3:18:44
the deduce jingle, even though this is my first donation.
3:18:47
If Adam or Mimi would like to personally deduce me,
3:18:49
I will accept that, but I can understand why you
3:18:51
wouldn't want to open the door to personal deduchings, as
3:18:54
they would probably become so popular, I don't know what
3:18:57
that is, that you would spend half the show getting
3:18:59
through them. Sorry it took me so long to get
3:19:01
around to this donation, but I've enjoyed the show immensely.
3:19:04
and it's time to pay up for the value you
3:19:06
have given me. Thank you, says D. Billy. Thank you.
3:19:09
and here is Eli the coffee guy who I want
3:19:11
to thank once again for sending in some of your
3:19:13
wonderful cold brew and espresso for the rub and the
3:19:19
decaf for Tina he's in Bensonville Illinois 210-22 19 years
3:19:24
of the best podcasting university rights and I've been lucky
3:19:26
enough to catch nine of them Adam John thank you
3:19:29

3:19:31
back to the archives. Sandy Hook, the Boston Marathon bombing,

after DJT's first election. When the last show wraps, we'd
3:19:44

3:21:34
know, we don't necessarily read them under 200. But I'd
3:21:38
like to keep this from becoming war and peace. Well,
3:21:41
yes. Thank you. I was diagnosed with cancer in 2012
3:21:44
and once had tumors throughout my body, including a grapefruit-sized
3:21:48
tumor in my liver, through the miracle of medicine in
3:21:50
the hands of God. I now have no evidence of
3:21:53
disease. Amen, bro. I'm currently struggling with the effects of
3:21:56
brain radiation, including swelling that makes speaking, concentrating, and typing
3:22:00
difficult. Super intelligence helped me write this by taking out
3:22:04
the ums and turning my thoughts into a cohesive message.
3:22:08
My youngest daughter was just a baby when I was
3:22:09
diagnosed, and now she's 15. I've always wanted to see
3:22:13
her get married. I'm grateful for more time. with my
3:22:16
wife whom I love dearly and all my children. I'll
3:22:18
truly miss John. I remember when John interviewed Steve Wozniak
3:22:22
when you were traveling and I remember that right. Am
3:22:25
I remembering that right? Yes, you are remembering that right.
3:22:28
That was, I think we both had the show off.
3:22:31
And we John did a couple of those. And I
3:22:34
do recall Wozniak. We should probably look it up. Rest
3:22:37
in peace, JCD. Please pay the F cancer jingle. And
3:22:40
you've got prayers. OK, so, yes, we will give that
3:22:44
to you, brother. And that's hoping that it all works.
3:22:50
for you. Where's the F cancer? There we go. Stop
3:22:53
me, Dan! You've got prayers. We said I'd be older.
3:23:04

3:23:08

3:23:11
does get some preference. And she says, this is great.

3:23:23

3:24:56
deconstruction for broadcasting the best podcasts in the universe. I've
3:25:00
been a listener ever since Devorah got kicked off that
3:25:02
tech show. Your steady attitudes and lens of skepticism has
3:25:06
helped me navigate not just news media, but also countless
3:25:09
situations in my daily life. I always think of both
3:25:11
attenuation. I'm in John as uncles I never had somehow
3:25:14
knew like brothers and family. Thank you to all the
3:25:17
producers, hosts, and back office for what you do and
3:25:19
for helping build the No Agenda community that has brought
3:25:22
wonderful people into our world for my wife and I.

3:26:29
you so much. It is just so wonderful to see
3:26:32
you all supporting these final shows for me. And really
3:26:36
appreciate what you all have done over the years. for
3:26:39
No Agenda. And of course, the fact that many of
3:26:42
you are upping your donations to become knights and get
3:26:46
that beautiful Knights and Dames and that beautiful challenge coin
3:26:49
as well as just all the title changes is fantastic.
3:26:53
You can support the show Value for Value by going
3:26:56
to noagendadonations.com. I realize that I forgot to thank The
3:27:00
artist for episode 1913, Meat Muck, which, believe it or
3:27:05
not, was Tyler Brown again. Comics or blogger was very
3:27:08
mad at me for choosing this. He's like, you should
3:27:11
be supporting Elon, man, not have the car destroy the
3:27:14
sign. Like, this was one of the best pieces of
3:27:17
art. I don't understand the problem. It was good, and
3:27:20
I liked it. I'm like, Tyler Brown, he's just winding
3:27:24
up my final episodes with artwork. It's crazy. Have you
3:27:27
seen his stuff? Yeah, I don't see any today, though.
3:27:30
He's probably giving people a break. Let them come in
3:27:33
with something. He had a run there for a while.
3:27:37
No, he did. He did do one today. Oh, he
3:27:40
did? Okay. He did Currycaster. Well, Dana will help me
3:27:45
choose the artist because I've been doing it by myself,
3:27:48
mainly, except that Matt Long chose his and we'll let
3:27:50
Calacanis choose his. And the last show that I do
3:27:53
on the 29th, so one show after the 29th, the
3:27:56
19th anniversary will be Andrew Horowitz. So that should be
3:28:00
fun. I've kind of done it. Andrew's doing the last
3:28:03
show? Yeah. I've known him the longest. I've known him
3:28:07
as long as I've known John. I think we should
3:28:09
all do the last show. I think that would be
3:28:12
such a horrible idea. I think it would be amazing.
3:28:16
We'd just all be talking over top of each other.
3:28:18
Listen, you have the link. It doesn't change. You can
3:28:21
dial in. You can pop in whenever Calacanis. Calacanis, you
3:28:25
have to send him a... a calendar invite and then
3:28:29
you never know if he's coming or not. It's like
3:28:31
you got a similar color. I'm going to bounce on
3:28:34
on Sunday and tell him that he can go and
3:28:36
I'll take over. Okay. Looking forward to it. Does he
3:28:40
come with clips? He only came with clips once. Let
3:28:46
me write that down. Go to knowitsthedonations.com, support the show.
3:28:51
Any amount, any value is accepted and appreciated just for
3:28:56
the value you received in the first place. You can
3:28:59
also set up a recurring donation, any amount, any frequency.
3:29:03
Noagendadonations.com. Thank you so much. And again, amazing how few
3:29:12
birthdays there are in comparison to the amount of donations
3:29:16
and nightings and all that stuff. Dame Tam Joseph Bricky
3:29:20
Hill turns 58 years old today, so happy birthday, Dame
3:29:23
Tam Joseph. And Bri Gibson wishes his wife Paula a
3:29:27
very happy birthday. And of course, we join in with
3:29:30
him and say happy birthday on behalf of everybody. Everybody
3:29:32
here at the best podcast in the universe. It's your
3:29:35
birthday, yeah. T-T-T-T-T-Title Changes, huh? the slaves that's changing I'm
3:29:45
looking at the title changes. We have Baron Sir Gin,
3:29:51
watcher of the Stargate, protector of fish, protector of the
3:29:54
New England coastal waters, estuaries, and salt marshes.
3:30:00
I think I'm missing a whole bunch of these title
3:30:02
changes. I'm not sure where everything went. Let's see if
3:30:06
I find anything here. Well, we'll have to make good
3:30:11
on those on the next show because somehow they didn't.
3:30:13
Let me just check the email, make sure they didn't
3:30:16
wind up here. Here we go, yes. Sir James of
3:30:39
Norway, Earl of Setisdal and Baronet. Michael Robinson becomes Baron
3:30:43

3:32:05

3:32:08
people to thank. And we do have a couple of
3:32:11
dames and knights to bring up on the podium. Let
3:32:14
me see. Hold on. I mean, it's in the backseat.
3:32:17
Let me grab it. I got it. In the morning
3:32:31
to you all, I will miss meeting you all here
3:32:33
on the first and second Thursdays of the week. While
3:32:35
we have only met a few of you in person,
3:32:36
I feel a kinship and now a loss that transcends
3:32:39
physical distance or personal acquaintance. I grew up with Adam
3:32:42
and John. I've listened to all the shows. Started, we
3:32:44
get to do this and look forward to following on
3:32:46
there. In the meantime, I'm the seated county clerk for
3:32:48
McHenry County running for re-election in the last red county
3:32:51
near Chicago. Chicago. I need your prayers and your shares.
3:32:54
Facebook shares. That is. I'm not the typical politico. I
3:32:57
ran for my first office county recorder so I could
3:33:00
eliminate it. I did that and I've saved the people
3:33:02
of McHenry County over $11 million since then. Visit I
3:33:06
won't hire my wife.com. It's. to learn more. Thank you

3:33:20
the mouth when we started dating in 2015. He recommended
3:33:23
Economic Hitman and then said, well, if you like that.
3:33:26
The Noah Jenner Show has been a fixture in our
3:33:28
conversations ever since. You and John are national treasures, truly.
3:33:31
I've taught English and journalism in Illinois for 20 years,
3:33:34
and God bless you, and have often included content from
3:33:37
your show notes into my lessons. Excuse me. trying to
3:33:42
remain courageous and afloat in a sea of activists as
3:33:45
they slowly circle the drain. I miss John's intolerance for
3:33:49
vague language and fallacies of argument and how he would
3:33:52
call you out on your sighs. You're in my prayers,
3:33:55
Adam. As you find a path forward, you always do.
3:33:58

3:34:39
show has meant to me. I was hit in the
3:34:41
mouth during 2016 presidential election. Never missed a show since.
3:34:45

really need, and I'm going to miss the show. Here

me Drink it on hell's flame You're the one Everybody
3:48:10
feels the same It's like a party Well, Dana, I'm
3:48:17
actually honored that you stuck with us throughout the whole
3:48:22
show. It's a long one. We're at 3 and 50
3:48:27
right now. So, yeah, it's a very long one. That's
3:48:30
a good one. But you did bring some nice donations.
3:48:33
Yes. Oh, yeah. And I have both of them here,
3:48:36
so I don't have any. You don't have any? No,
3:48:39
I knew you'd bring them. I'm a winner. You are
3:48:42
an instant winner. Here's ISO number one. You need to
3:48:45
sit and cry over your whiteness or your masculinity. Okay,
3:48:52
that's one. That's your boy, Talarico. Yes, Talarico. Yes, here's
3:48:56
number two. You either have to be incredibly incompetent or
3:48:59
totally blind. No, I think Talarico wins. You need to
3:49:04
sit and cry over, you know, your whiteness or your
3:49:06
masculinity. Yeah, I think that one wins. You outdone yourself
3:49:10
once again. But not... Not leaving yet because here he
3:49:14
is with our tip of the day. Great advice for
3:49:18
you and me. Just the tip with JCD. And sometimes
3:49:23
Adam. Dana Bernetti, the creator of the tip of the
3:49:26
day. What is your tip of the day, sir? Well,
3:49:29
you didn't like a couple of my past ones, so
3:49:32
I brought a couple here. So if you don't like
3:49:34
it, I can do another one. Okay. So the first
3:49:37
tip I have is... Do not install software updates the
3:49:42
day they drop or even the day after. Especially not
3:49:46
on your Apple products. That is a very bad idea.
3:49:50
Have you gotten bricked by any of this in the
3:49:53
past? No, I haven't had any problems, but I know
3:49:57
people that have. But I've also always waited. I usually
3:50:01
wait. Unless it's like a security update where they're harping
3:50:04
like you've got to do something because there's something they
3:50:06
messed up and you're vulnerable and exposed, then you do
3:50:09
them. Otherwise, wait. A few days before you do it,
3:50:13
let all the bugs get worked out. What a genius
3:50:16
tip. Yes, a genius tip of the day. You have
3:50:19
another one just in case? Yeah, I got a couple
3:50:23
more if you want. Yeah, sure. Do them all. When
3:50:25
you go to dinner and you got a couple friends
3:50:29
there and people start bickering about how much it is
3:50:31
to split it up, use Venmo and just – Pay
3:50:36
the bill, and then you just split it up four
3:50:39
ways on Venmo. It sends the request for however many
3:50:41
people are chipping in, and it automatically does the exact
3:50:45
number to split it up. And then hopefully you don't
3:50:48
have to send reminders to get them to pay you
3:50:50
on the Venmo. I can see your daughter rolling her
3:50:53
eyes right now saying, okay, Dad. Okay, Dad. Yeah, Gen
3:50:57
Xer. Yeah, okay. I got one more. One more. One
3:51:01
more. All right. These are the people that ship things
3:51:04
from the post office. Post office skills, they round up.
3:51:11
So it's better to weigh your stuff yourself and print
3:51:15
your own labels. Because if you're shipping a lot of
3:51:18
stuff over time, that can end up being a lot.
3:51:21
If they're rounding up to the next pound, it can
3:51:23
be a lot of money over time. I can just
3:51:27
hear JCD going, oh, brother. Oh, brother. There it is,
3:51:31
everybody. That post office one, he would back. For you
3:51:38
and me Just a tip with J.C.D. And sometimes Adam
3:51:44
Created by Dana Burnetti You'll get two more tips of
3:51:47
the day if we're lucky Before I'm done Yes. Spilt
3:51:51
my drink in the truck. Oh, no. Oh, no. What
3:51:58
were you drinking? The Pabst Blue Ribbon or what are
3:52:00
you drinking? Close. A beer. Not Pabst. No. It's a
3:52:06
beer. I'm drinking a Robert... What's that? Cavalli, whatever that
3:52:12
barrel age, bourbon barrel age. Yeah, $12. It went from
3:52:17
$9.98 to $12 here at HEB. Oh, how are you
3:52:20
going to survive? Barely going to manage. You're getting a
3:52:23
$3 increase on your bottle of wine. Dana, thank you
3:52:27
so much. You know, I love you, man. I appreciate
3:52:30
that you did this. Thanks. And thank you for doing
3:52:32

3:52:44
a publisher. Who's paying for this book tour? Yeah, well,
3:52:49
