	Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
	Get out of the graveyard, Curry.
	Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, March 19th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1226.
	This is no agenda.
	Awaiting the corona checks and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone, star state in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the whole state is under house arrest, apparently some one person voted Republican.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning.
	What kind of political gripe did you make there?
	I didn't quite catch it.
	We're under house arrest.
	Yeah, man.
	You literally are not allowed on the street.
	Lockdown.
	Get off the street, slave.
	Have you been out at all?
	Until the one person admits they voted Republican and we can shoot them.
	Okay.
	Now I get it.
	Before we go any further...
	I want to remind everybody how thankful we are, but also how important it is that we are an independent, unaffiliated media property.
	We don't use any of the Silicon Valley infrastructure.
	We have our own infrastructure.
	We have our own networks, our own social network.
	We have our own servers.
	And why is that important today?
	This report from Reuters is self-explanatory.
	Some of the tech world's biggest names announced they are joining together to combat the spread of misinformation about the coronavirus on their platforms.
	In a joint statement released by Microsoft, Facebook, Alphabet's Google and Twitter, the tech giants said they will work together to quell misinformation.
	In addition, other tech companies, including LinkedIn, Reddit and YouTube, are stepping up to the plate in coordination with government health care agencies around the world to share critical updates about the virus.
	But the industry is already anticipating problems on the horizon.
	Like most sectors, Silicon Valley has sent much of its workforce home, which means the teams of contract workers responsible for policing and cleaning up tech platforms aren't fully functional.
	The tech giants say they will have to rely more on artificial intelligence to do the job.
	And Twitter warned users may see an uptick in videos and other content mistakenly taken down by AI. Of course, that's not limited to the announced effort to combat mistruths about the coronavirus, but to all topics as AI takes greater control of policing content.
	Google, in a blog post, said such software is not always as accurate as humans.
	Which will likely lead to errors and slower turnaround times for content to be restored based on appeals.
	Facebook and Twitter issued similar warnings.
	So that'll be an evergreen clip we'll pull out from time to time to remind you that the big Silicon Valley companies are protecting you by making sure no misinformation gets out.
	Because they know everything, apparently.
	And AI, as you heard, is almost as good as humans.
	Ha ha ha!
	Well, AI, so a group of YouTubers apparently formed a kind of a collective and started doing some testing of words that would get them demonetized.
	And let me guess, coronavirus would be one?
	Well, I have the list.
	Oh, good, good, good.
	By coincidence.
	A number of things would get you.
	The list is large, but the ones that have the...
	You get very mixed results, but 420, for example, is one of them.
	Really?
	You're risking demonetization.
	9-11?
	Me too, actually.
	Really, no.
	Yeah.
	What else we got here?
	Some of these I don't understand, but apparently they're big.
	14 over 88?
	Oh, that's some kind of Nazi thing.
	I'm sure.
	18 plus?
	Two girls, one cup?
	Nothing wrong with that video.
	What's the problem?
	4chan?
	This has nothing to do with coronavirus.
	This is just a shitty list.
	This is a list of things that will get you demonetized.
	And this is the AI that they'll be using.
	And it just crops up.
	And there's a bunch of these different things that are on here.
	We can put it in the show notes if you will.
	I look at it from a little higher perspective because the things that we're not...
	The biggest problem we have is we don't have information.
	And I've done a lot of research over the past four days.
	Everything I talk about today will be based on two pieces of information that I'm pretty confident on.
	One, there are at least two strains of the coronavirus.
	And this has been published in the Oxford University Press.
	Copy in the show notes.
	It has only been challenged by one other paper, which has not been published.
	It's just posted like a blog post.
	And the two strains are the L strain and the S strain.
	And I have a question then.
	I know about this.
	There's probably even more strains, but that's beside the point.
	Does the test...
	That is widely used.
	Determine the difference which strain you have.
	Excellent question.
	No idea.
	There's also not been a single word from any of the official statements, none of the press conferences, nothing about the two strains.
	Is it possible that one strain is another question?
	I have a lot of questions.
	That one of the strains is the Supposed booby trap strain.
	Well, so before we get into, because I do have a lot of thoughts on how, but more important is these two strains and where they appeared and how they were propagated.
	The L strain, which is easy to remember, that's the lethal strain.
	That was what first spread in Wuhan.
	And this is all according to this paper, so it's easily...
	Oxford doesn't publish stuff for no reason.
	The L strain does not transmit through the air or through coughing, sneezing.
	It's more through feces and other unsanitary and unhygienic situations.
	But it is much more severe and really can – well, this is what kills old people very easily and people who are compromised.
	The S strain is incredibly infectious but has much milder symptoms.
	So from what I understand, it's very easy to see that the L strain in Wuhan may have been what was spread to Italy, seeing as there's a direct line between China and Italy with their 300,000 factory workers seeing as there's a direct line between China and Italy with their 300,000 factory workers who put which actually costs $26 when they're done with it.
	The article's in the show notes.
	Of course, we don't exactly know who's sick.
	There's no ethnicity.
	But for sure, that strain was probably brought over from Wuhan.
	Same goes for Ohio.
	I think we'll see a lot from there.
	And New York, San Francisco, there's a lot of Chinese travel.
	What's interesting about the S strain is once you have it, then you are also immune to the L strain.
	And that gave me a little bit of a pause, thinking, remember they were spraying stuff in the streets in Wuhan, and that has never been answered what that was?
	Well, and on top of that, do you remember the guys, a couple of them who came out and said, we should infect everybody?
	So...
	So that way we won't have to worry about this anymore.
	Just go through it.
	We'll go through the process.
	Remember when they said they wanted to infect everybody and they all backed off?
	No, no, no, no.
	I'm sorry.
	I know what we're talking about.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Exactly.
	That was the weirdest thing I've ever heard.
	So I'm now thinking that since we never got an answer, what they were spraying in Wuhan may have been S-virus to essentially inoculate everybody.
	What's interesting about this, and I want to talk about that later, that is how a bioweapon works.
	You target the area you want to target with the extreme virus, and then you expose everybody to the less extreme virus so they're immune from the extreme one.
	Now the second piece of information.
	Again, I'm going to stop you a lot.
	Sure, sure.
	Oh, that's good.
	Go ahead.
	There's a term for that type of bioweapon.
	Do you know what it is?
	I don't.
	It's binary or something?
	Is that what it is?
	No, binary is where you have two combined.
	Alright, okay.
	Right, right.
	I don't know what the term is.
	Okay.
	I don't know what the term is.
	But...
	Just anecdotally, seeing a lot of chemtrails pop up, particularly over Florida.
	But I'll just leave that for what it is.
	There's no chemtrails here.
	Here's the anecdotal piece that is highly interesting.
	On the last show, we talked about people getting sick in December and January.
	I have hundreds of emails, 10, so maybe 50 different tweets from people saying, oh my god, now I remember.
	I had these exact symptoms in December-January time frame.
	My wife had it, my kids had it.
	We went to the doctor, tested for influenza, negative.
	Of course, there was no test for coronavirus.
	At that time.
	But you tested negative for influenza, but were pretty sick with the fever, the cough, which varies from person to person.
	But in general, it sounds like this thing has been around for a while, and it makes nothing but sense.
	You can't...
	Think that a virus only takes a month for a virus to get over to Europe and to the United States.
	No, it was there for a long time.
	And now, of course, we're still testing people, so now it's going to look like more and more people are getting it, but we're really behind the curve.
	But this is something Tina caught, by the way.
	She saw this.
	She said, look at all these people who are talking about being sick.
	And then once we mention it on the show, and then one...
	I think one, not even that, on no agenda social, people started just popping up.
	Hey, I had this, I had that.
	So my thinking is that, well, my thinking is that we're in a huge bunch of bull crap to make us do things.
	And it may not be that dangerous at all, excluding people who have been exposed to the L virus.
	Well, here's what I like to propose people think about in these terms.
	And this number might not be correct.
	But the day I conceptualized this idea, there's only one population in the United States.
	It's a population of Americans.
	Everyone that's here is here.
	You walk around, you go out day to day, do your thing.
	You're going to bump into one of three things.
	A cold...
	You can catch a cold.
	You can catch the coronavirus.
	Or you can catch the influenza.
	Yes.
	And it's a single population, so it's a simple thing to study.
	It's not like there's two populations.
	I mean, there are isolated pockets of this and that.
	But generally speaking, we've got one giant population.
	We're trying to keep that from happening by making everyone stay at home under house arrest.
	But now, at the time of this...
	The total death count in the single population has been 8,700 for coronavirus.
	It's probably up a few hundred from that.
	And 20,000 for influenza.
	So in the same population, you can catch a cold, you can catch the flu, you can catch coronavirus.
	The flu is outpacing coronavirus over two to one.
	And then the logic of this is that it's...
	Is that the coronavirus, which is supposed to be this horrible thing that's going to go around like a wildfire and kill everybody, millions and millions of people are going to die.
	How come it can't even keep up with the flu and the death count within the same population?
	That's a simple rhetorical question.
	I have an answer for you, and the answer is misinformation from media.
	What?!
	And my hero of this entire, and Tina's going nuts from me saying this, my hero in this entire operation is Dr.
	Deborah Birx.
	And she's the woman who, she was the AIDS czar, is still through Bush, Obama, etc.
	She is highly respected and she gets it.
	She understands how to talk to the media.
	She understands how to talk to people and she's dressing appropriately each time.
	There's something she's, she knows what she's doing and she went full in.
	She went full in against the bull crap models.
	Now these models are computer models that were set up very similar to like the climate change model, which we'll get to later.
	These models were showing 2 million people would die.
	The federal officials have shipped millions of tests, as you and your colleagues have said, why, as the federal government says, have only 59,000 tests been processed to this point?
	We just heard...
	Ah, dammit.
	Sorry, this is the clip I meant.
	Also, can you speak to this study that as many as 2.2 million people in the United States could die if there weren't this type of action by the government taken?
	To what extent did that prompt what we saw yesterday?
	I think models are models and they're based on input and they're based on infectiousness without any controls.
	I can tell you we've never seen that level of infections that modeled up to that 2.2 million in mortality.
	So we are looking at that.
	We are having a particularly model meeting tomorrow.
	I think that's really going to be important.
	I've dealt with a lot of modelers in my time.
	They're wonderful people, but they all have their favorite inputs.
	When someone says they're wonderful people, you know the thought bubble is dickheads.
	I've dealt with a lot of modelers in my time.
	They're wonderful people, but they all have their favorite inputs and they all have their favorite integration functions.
	So we're evaluating all of those so we can integrate and create the best model for the United States based on the best data.
	And that first set of recommendations you saw were based on what we could do today to prevent anything that looks like that.
	So she handles that perfectly.
	Not that anyone will ever play that for you or that you know it, but these were models and it was fear-mongering.
	Fear-mongering!
	And we should mention, by the way, that with fear-mongering and panic, the public turns to the media and watches more TV, especially when they're stuck at home, And the media makes out on this.
	They make out on the election years.
	They make out on this panicky thing.
	They're making money.
	They're making bank.
	In fact, I see, you know, this...
	The Johns Hopkins...
	The Pew Pew map with all the red blotches all over it, which I despise because I think it's a misrepresentation.
	You think?
	The size of the dot over Iceland is ten times bigger than Iceland itself.
	So I don't like the misrepresentation.
	But now you see the same guys who, a week and a half ago, were using the big touchscreens on TV, on the news channels, to show the election results.
	Now they're using this.
	Take a look at this.
	Here, this is an important number.
	Here we have $8,000.
	$150,000.
	This is a good number to look at.
	And they're completely all jitty about it.
	They're salivating.
	But the trick is out in open.
	It's out in the open.
	And the next four or five days, you're going to be fooled, or people are going to try and fool you.
	Now that we have millions of test kits, and we'll get into that in a second, out there, people are going to start testing.
	When you start testing, the number of people who have it goes up.
	It could be someone who just tested, someone has a cough, not necessarily people dying in the hospital.
	That's going to go up, and they're going to abuse that number.
	But really, you need to be happy because that's the denominator where we get to that also important lethality rate.
	And here's Dr.
	Birx explaining how the testing is really going to work and what to look out for.
	Federal officials have shipped millions of tests, as you and your colleagues have said.
	Why, as the federal government says, have only 59,000 tests been processed to this point?
	We just heard from the Atlanta public health director saying that they have...
	Fewer than 50 test kits for more than 900,000 citizens.
	So that's a very critical question, and thank you for asking it.
	So the test kits that we put out last week through the approval, the rapid movement of that meeting that President Trump called less than two weeks ago, that has resulted in bringing our private sector to the table.
	Because the tests in the platform that was out there could only run between 4 and 12 tests per platform per day.
	We've now moved into platforms that can run basically tens of thousands of tests per day.
	The reason I'm grateful for your question, because it allows me to point out that, of course, then there was backlog.
	There were individuals who had been tested, who hadn't had their specimen run because of the slow throughput.
	It's now in a high-speed platform.
	So we will see the number of people diagnosed dramatically increase over the next four to five days.
	I know some of you will use that to raise an alarm that we are...
	Worse than Italy because of our slope of our curve.
	To every American out there, it will be five to six days worth of tests being run in 24 to 48 hours.
	So our curves will not be stable until sometime next week.
	So she even warns about it and she said, I know some of you are going to do this and of course they will.
	And again, I don't think many people heard what Dr.
	Birx had to say.
	I'm sorry?
	Nobody heard that.
	No, no, of course not.
	It will not be revealed.
	Now, one of the early mainstream media gotchas that they were just throwing out there continuously was, Trump fired the CDC, defunded it, it was horrible, they botched it all, it's no good.
	And when you look into it, again, everything's in today's show notes, nashownotes.com.
	When you look into it, nothing could be further from the truth.
	In fact, I think what went very expeditiously is we are not...
	We do not have a healthcare system or ever have had any type of government system in place through the CDC or otherwise to test every American.
	It just does not exist.
	In fact, all these tests would go through the CDC. And Trump, very smartly, blew all of that out of the water and said, let's get the commercial guys in.
	And so now we have tests.
	And there's questions about early tests.
	Who got a test?
	Did they even get a test?
	I'm thinking a lot of these celebrities may have been bullcrap.
	I don't know exactly what kind of operation is going on, but there's a lot of misinformation, disinformation out there.
	But listen to this.
	How are non-symptomatic professional athletes getting tests while others are waiting in line and can't get them?
	Do the well-connected go to the front of the line?
	Well, you'd have to ask them that question.
	I've read...
	No, I wouldn't say so, but perhaps that's been the story of life.
	That does happen on occasion.
	I like that.
	Hey, guess what?
	Life isn't fair.
	Sometimes rich people and celebrities go before you.
	What can I tell you?
	I've noticed where some people have been tested fairly quickly.
	Look, we inherited a very obsolete system.
	This was a system that was...
	Out of date, obsolete, or it was a system that was never meant to take care of the kind of quantity, the number of people that we're talking about, millions and millions of people.
	If you go back in years past, like even recently with the flu, nobody had tests before.
	They didn't test the entire nation to see whether or not they had flu.
	They got the flu.
	They got better.
	Hopefully they got better and that was it.
	Now all of a sudden they do this very complex testing.
	What we've done is we've broken it down, we've broken up the system, but it was obsolete and or you could say it was also a system that just wasn't meant to handle the kind of volume that you're talking about.
	We've rebuilt it into a system that for the future will be a very good system if you want to go this route.
	But this was never done before.
	And I would imagine it will be done in the future, but we built it into a very good system by using private companies, the great private companies.
	And I have to say Roche has been doing a very good job.
	They're doing a lot of work, a very good job.
	But this was an obsolete system.
	This was not a system that was meant to do anything like this or even near this.
	And one other fact that needs to be debunked is, and in fact this came up in the debate between Biden and Sanders, That the WHO had tests and we refused the tests.
	We didn't want those tests from them.
	Americans are dying because of the tests.
	We didn't get that test out.
	All horse crap.
	All of it.
	Bull crap.
	Hey, put a time code down.
	This is my new hero, along with Burks, is Admiral Brett Girard, I think you pronounce it, G-I-R-O-I-R, O-I-R. He's from Health and Human Services.
	This guy is kick-ass, and he seems like one of those, you know, kind of field guys, like, hey, go out there and make it happen.
	And he's got his...
	His wartime fatigues on, his blue HHS fatigues.
	And the question comes up about this WHO test.
	Joe Biden said the World Health Organization offered testing kits that they had available to the United States and to give it to us now.
	We refused it.
	We didn't want to buy them.
	PolitiFact says the WHO member made that offer.
	Can you tell us about that?
	Well, that's what I heard.
	I'm going to let Tony answer that question or whoever's best at answering that.
	Would you have something out there?
	Hi.
	I'm just going to emphasize a little bit more on that.
	When I became involved in the testing world, I called as senior officials at the WHO as I could find to understand what the situation was.
	And as far as I can tell from sources that should know, no one ever offered a test that we refused.
	That's what I heard, too.
	This is a research-grade test that was not approved, not submitted to the FDA, that was supplied in tens of thousands of quantities to 100 countries in the world.
	So I think there's a lot that people are saying about this that's just based on rumor and myth.
	Nothing was offered that we refused.
	It was a research test that was not approved.
	And again, there was a small number that we have greatly surpassed in a very short period of time.
	So number one, nothing was offered.
	Number two, it was a bad test.
	There you go.
	Finally, that's been resolved.
	Hello, Biden!
	Actually, I didn't clip that, but the president was very nice about it because he answered that question and started walking out.
	The same reporter says, well, are you going to call Joe Biden on it?
	And the president went, no, not at all.
	He made a mistake.
	I'm sure he'll apologize.
	Very, very good.
	Now, all of this makes no sense to me.
	And now we're going to move into the lockdown, the shutdown, the recommended 10 people.
	I mean, the temporary pause and putting the middle class, the mom and pops, the restaurants, the bars.
	The people that are going to go out of business, especially the mom and pops, is going to be outrageous.
	No, no, it's not a clip.
	I just want to make a statement because it pertains to you as well.
	Because this is the important thing, is what's going to happen with, what are they really doing to us?
	The flu, we're all going to live, I'm pretty confident.
	It's like influenza, it's the S strain.
	Sure, some people may have L in Italy, etc., but this will end very quickly.
	They know they're on the back end, they know it's been around for months, they know what the curve is.
	But here's what bothers me about the lockdown.
	If the people most vulnerable are senior citizens, so really 65 and older, so I'm putting you in that category, John.
	If that's the group, and people who have immune deficiency issues, cancer, heart issues, etc., lung issues, respiratory...
	If those are the ones that need to be protected, why are we locking down the people who will just get it and shrug it off?
	You should be locking up and protecting those people, that group.
	It's 20% of the population.
	Quarantine them.
	Put them in bunkers.
	I don't care.
	Let the rest of the world continue to function.
	That's the bull crap that I don't understand and that can only lead me to believe that this is going to be used for other things Like 9-11, we need to be on the lookout for the weapons of mass destruction.
	It's cashless society, tracking, vaccination issues, vaccination tracking.
	All kinds of shit is going to come down on us, and I think cashless society is the first one.
	But let's talk about the economic impact and how crazy this idea is.
	Well, I want to have a clip that I think epitomizes the craziness.
	There was a number of, they discussed this a lot, obviously, locally.
	And I do have a lot of clips about it.
	But I want to start with the clip that is the most nutty.
	And this is the hiking rule stupidity.
	Added that you can go on a hike with another person as long as you stay six feet apart.
	Well, this is all just mind control.
	This is just getting into your brain and making you crazy.
	It's unbelievable that they would even suggest such a thing.
	You're hiking, you know?
	And then you're camping, maybe.
	And you're probably going in the same car.
	But you have to hike six feet apart is ludicrous.
	There's a PSYOP going on.
	The Cashless Society, I'm in total disagreement with that because right now...
	And the reason is, I'm in disagreement with that, is because although...
	Come on, listen, I have family in Italy and the Netherlands, so I have a little more perspective.
	Yeah, I know you've already seen it, but the problem is if we're going to go into a negative interest rate, which we're one step away from, it makes cash more valuable.
	Ah, stop right there.
	And so what are they doing?
	Going to give everybody cash.
	And where are we going to put that cash?
	Right into the bank.
	Not me.
	No, not you.
	But you're going to get a check.
	You still have to deposit the check.
	It goes into the bank.
	As this continues, I'm not getting a check.
	You're not getting a check.
	I want my check.
	You're not going to get a check.
	I want a check!
	What do you mean?
	I've been counting on this.
	I want a check.
	You're not getting a check.
	But what do you think about the general assertion that we're closing down everybody to protect people who are not as functional in our economic society, who should be protected, deserve to be protected, I mean, shutting everything down, it's just, I don't understand the logic.
	And no one is saying, hey, what's wrong with this?
	I'm going back to my assertion about the influenza having 20,000 deaths versus 8,700 for this thing.
	We agree on that.
	Why are we shutting anything down?
	We shouldn't be protecting anybody.
	This idea that it's killing old folks is nonsense.
	All you have to do is look at the people who have died, and they're all like an emphysema victim, 85 on their last legs.
	I mean, there's no healthy older people that are dropping like flies.
	There's no celebrities.
	Not one has died.
	I mean, all these basketball players, not one has died.
	They're not older by any means, but none of them even have symptoms.
	This thing is a scam.
	You know what's interesting?
	But we agree on that, so now I'm more interested in...
	We agree the numbers don't make sense.
	We agree what they're doing doesn't make sense.
	Let's talk about some of the genesis of it, but on the PR front, Let me see.
	I have the Surgeon General of the United States, who really doesn't have much of a role in the daily briefings.
	He just kind of sits in the background.
	Jerome Adams.
	He made it very clear how the...
	Remember the President was asked why do some celebrities get a test and other people can't get a test?
	Because it's a PR initiative that's going on here.
	Ah!
	I want to ask you, do you feel like people are getting the message here?
	You know, we still see people out and about.
	You had three states holding votes yesterday.
	Do you think people are sensing the urgency?
	Well, I think we're starting to turn a corner, and people really are.
	It's because it's starting to affect people who they see and know.
	I have a 15- and a 14-year-old son at home, and they don't care what Dad says, even if Dad is the Surgeon General of the United States.
	But by golly, they know that Kevin Durant just got diagnosed with the coronavirus.
	So this is how a good operation works.
	And the Surgeon General just said it.
	Oh, they don't give a crap, but when Kevin Durant gets it, who I think is a basketball player.
	When Kevin Durant gets it all, then everybody knows.
	So that's how you promote these things.
	China is a bad actor.
	And I went back in more of the timelines.
	Wow, what a segue.
	Kevin Durant to China is a bad actor.
	NBA! NBA! Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you very much.
	Where did the fear start?
	Now, there's a great video which you put linked in the newsletter from the German...
	A German virologist.
	Yeah, a lung expert.
	Yes, and he says, hey, this is bullcrap.
	I'm just going to shorten the 10 minutes into, hey, this is bullcrap.
	Makes no sense.
	Pretty much what we're saying.
	Um...
	But he also pointed out that it was the virologists who first discovered this strain, which I'm going to think is the L strain in Wuhan.
	They got all jitty about it.
	Now we're going back to January.
	January 23rd is when they start shutting down Wuhan.
	And who was on TV? Who was talking about stuff?
	It was the virologists.
	It was the models.
	It was the two million are going to die.
	The mainstream media jumped into this.
	They love that.
	And it just started to perpetuate.
	But what happened online...
	Where did the first L-strain videos come from?
	People dying, falling down on the street.
	Where all these videos of people being dragged into cars, locked up in their houses, people throwing pets out of the window.
	Where did that appear?
	On what platform?
	YouTube.
	TikTok.
	TikTok.
	Oh, I didn't know that.
	Promoted by the Today Show on February 6th in a clear native ad.
	It's a popular app giving everyone their 15 seconds of fame.
	TikTok is taking social media by storm.
	TikTok was the second most downloaded social media app in 2019, beating out both Facebook and Instagram.
	Despite its reported security and privacy concerns, the China-based app is rapidly growing in popularity.
	44% of TikTok's total downloads today, that 738 million, took place in 2019 alone.
	At only 22 years old, Brent Rivera is one of TikTok's biggest stars with nearly 20 million followers.
	And today, Brent is giving us our very own TikTok tutorial.
	Brent's here?
	There he is!
	Oh yeah!
	Hey!
	Okay, so they go on to do their own TikTok video.
	I'm telling you, this is not an accident that this native ad pops up on the NBC Today show.
	February 6th, when this stuff is just starting to pop, people are posting.
	That's where the videos came from.
	And then all of a sudden we get this influx of, can't call it the Chinese flu, it's racist, don't do that.
	CNN was the biggest, biggest perpetrator of calling this the Wuhan flu.
	This is one of those super cuts, but it's worth listening to two weeks before...
	I think February 10th, maybe 15th.
	This is what CNN, CBS, and not MSNBC, but CNN mainly, some CBS, even PBS sounded like.
	This is all happening in a time that we're starting to see message shift here because you're starting to hear the Republicans, especially Trump Co., calling it the Wuhan or the Chinese coronavirus.
	They're looking for someone to blame.
	The concern is growing this morning over an outbreak of a new SARS-like virus in China.
	At least six people have died from the Wuhan coronavirus.
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	The 34-year-old ophthalmologist diagnosed Saturday with the Wuhan coronavirus.
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	What more can you tell us about the similarities or differences between SARS and the Wuhan coronavirus?
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	The Wuhan coronavirus in China.
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	The Wuhan coronavirus fears continue to grow.
	I think you get the idea.
	It goes on for another minute and a half.
	That's all it was.
	The Wuhan coronavirus.
	Chinese Wuhan coronavirus.
	Then all of a sudden...
	Oh no man, that's racist.
	You can't even mention it about Chinese.
	All of a sudden they got a call from their masters in Beijing.
	And let me explain how that works.
	CNN, owned by Warner Media.
	Warner Media, owned by AT&T. AT&T, huge deals with Huawei, Chinese telecom companies.
	You bet they got a call.
	They got a call, but it went so far that there was a tweet from some Lib Joe that said someone in the administration just called it Kung Flu to my face!
	I wonder how they call it behind closed doors!
	So, your buddy, your buddy, Yamiche Alcindor?
	Yamiche Alcindor.
	Yamiche Alcindor.
	Who does she work for?
	PBS and she's also an activist.
	Isn't she also the only PBS as a media outlet?
	I think so.
	So she asks a question.
	Here it comes.
	My second question is, there are some, at least one White House official, who used the term Kung Flu, referring to the fact that this virus started in China.
	Is that acceptable?
	Is it wrong?
	Are you worried that having this virus be talked about as a Chinese virus, that that might help?
	I wonder who said that.
	You know who said that?
	I'm not sure of the person's name, but would you condemn the fact that Kung Flu...
	Say the term again.
	A person at the White House used the term Kung Flu.
	My question is, do you think that's wrong?
	Kung Flu.
	And do you think using the term Chinese virus, that puts Asian Americans at risk, that people might target them?
	No, not at all.
	I think they probably would agree with it 100%.
	It comes from China.
	I think Trump trolled her so hard right there.
	Say it again.
	Kung Flu.
	Kung Flu, huh?
	Kung Flu.
	Yes, Kung Flu.
	How's that spelled?
	After three times, you know, people are going to remember it.
	So I think that was a total troll.
	I like that a lot.
	So you know China is very involved in the conversation.
	You can't trust anything or anybody.
	I mean, us you can trust.
	We don't have Chinese money coming in.
	We tell you where the money is coming in.
	The number of Chinese donors is very minuscule.
	Three maybe?
	Three?
	There's none from China, that's for sure.
	I don't even know if the show is played in China.
	Somebody was there so they can hear the show in China.
	But they're very wary of the message.
	They really don't want...
	They want to control the message.
	They want to...
	And they can.
	They own so much of our media, so much of our entertainment companies and products.
	Through which we're also perfectly preconditioned with movies like Contagion.
	They own Hollywood.
	Yeah, they pretty much own it.
	So one obvious direction that this is going to go, this clear abuse of people...
	And we need to talk about that, what's really going to happen.
	I look forward to hearing your thoughts on economic issues.
	But for sure, this is going to be turned into a climate change discussion.
	If you don't think so, you're nuts.
	In fact, you're not nuts, or you are, because I have one, two, three clips that already are connecting this to climate change globally.
	This is France 24.
	These are quite fascinating times.
	What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much more severe than the measures that we would be ready to take to face climate change or atmospheric pollution.
	Strangely enough, I think the death toll of the coronavirus at the end of the day might be positive if you consider the deaths.
	Isn't it great to hear a French guy say at the end of the day?
	That's a new one for me.
	That to me is just astonishing.
	Let me tell you at the end of the day.
	No, I think the death toll of the coronavirus at the end of the day might be positive if you consider the deaths from atmospheric pollution, for example.
	84,000 people die annually in France because of atmospheric pollution, more than 1 million in China, most likely the number of lives that will be spared, thanks to these confinement measures, will be higher than the number of lives that will be lost because of the pandemic.
	But you understand, in the one case, it's something invisible.
	In this case, it's something that's palpable.
	And I think this is something that should question us.
	Why are we so much more afraid of the coronavirus than we are of climate change or atmospheric pollution or other kinds of threat?
	What is so special about the coronavirus that we are ready to put the whole world on lockdown because of that?
	So I like his stance.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	Why can't we scare people into doing what we want them to do with climate change?
	It worked here.
	That's my translation of what he said.
	I think your translation is correct, but they have been trying to do that.
	That's all they've been doing.
	Right, but he's saying now we have this perfect example, i.e.
	we have the control.
	See what we made those silly people do?
	We made them all stay home and go broke.
	Democracy Now!
	Of course, Amy's all in.
	For more, we're joined from Cleveland, Ohio, by Sonia Shah, science investigative journalist and the author of Pandemic, Tracking Contagion from Cholera to Ebola and Beyond.
	Talk about this connection between climate crisis and the coronavirus.
	We're not hearing very much about this.
	Well, we know in a general sense that the climate crisis is resulting in tens of thousands of wild species moving into new places.
	It's scrambling our migration patterns.
	And so that's going to contribute to this broader phenomenon of people and wildlife coming into new kinds of contact.
	We can see with, for example, deforestation, that when you cut down the trees where bats roost, for example, They don't just go away.
	They come and roost in your back gardens and your farms and your yards instead.
	And that allows people and bats to come into new kinds of contact.
	And the microbes that live in their bodies, which don't cause them any kind of disease, can spill over into human bodies.
	And that's how we turn animal microbes into these epidemic and pandemic-causing pathogens.
	So they've got to work on the shave down that message a bit, but you understand what's coming.
	Well, it's not as though people are licking bats.
	You can have a little battery in your backyard.
	It's not a big deal.
	It's good because if you have bats around the neighborhood, there's no mosquitoes or flying insects.
	They're not a bad thing, although I do have a clip you should play, which is Corona comes from bats.
	Yes.
	As scientists work to contain the coronavirus, researchers are still trying to figure out where it came from.
	Early research suggests humans picked up the coronavirus from animals, possibly bats, but it's not clear how the virus made that jump.
	Science journalist and author David Quammen has been tracking this.
	He joins me now on the phone.
	And David, I know you know a lot about But I am learning with a lot of other folks here.
	A disease that can spread from animals to humans is called zoonosis.
	Coronavirus is a zoonotic disease.
	What do we know so far about the coronavirus and how it spread from animal to human?
	Well, part of what we know comes from past experience with outbreaks such as SARS in 2002 and 2003.
	SARS was a very scary new virus when it first appeared in southern China.
	It was new to humans.
	It had to come from somewhere, and scientists eventually tracked the SARS virus to bats.
	Bats are the reservoir hosts.
	Meaning the virus lives in them without causing symptoms.
	Now that was part of what rang the alarm bell on coronaviruses.
	Coronaviruses, SARS is one, this is another.
	They evolve very quickly.
	They live in animals, frequently bats.
	And when we come in contact with bats, we invite those viruses to jump from bats into humans.
	Because they evolve quickly, they can frequently adapt to us and cause terrible trouble.
	If it is in fact bats in this case as well, what is it about them that makes them these frequent hosts of viruses or reservoir hosts as I believe you just called them?
	That's right.
	Bats seem to be over-represented as the reservoir host for a lot of these scary viruses.
	SARS virus that I mentioned.
	MERS virus.
	Hender virus in Australia.
	Nipah virus in Malaysia.
	Now this one.
	What is it about bats?
	Well, a couple of things.
	First of all, bats are a very diverse order of mammals.
	One in every four species of mammal on Earth is a bat.
	I didn't know that.
	That was the punchline.
	Wow!
	I like it.
	One on fours.
	Who knows?
	I may be part bat.
	Well, maybe bats.
	I want to play my...
	Because you kind of jumped in there.
	I want to play the last climate change clip, which infuriates me that it's from a podcast.
	And it's a popular podcast.
	What might that podcast be?
	Sam Harris.
	Sam Harris.
	He's always being cited as this great podcaster.
	I can't listen to him.
	Well, you're going to listen to a minute and 34 seconds of him, and you're going to be disgusted.
	This is how the popular podcaster, Sam Harris, categorizes what we need to do, where we need to go, and who's responsible.
	Collectively.
	This is a wake-up call on so many fronts.
	I mean, the idea that we don't want expertise anymore, right?
	The idea that we can just wing it with a reality TV show star and his buddies in charge of everything.
	You have to imagine many people for whom the downside there was just an abstraction.
	Understanding that there are problems we have that are global in scale for which there really is only a global solution.
	We can't be America first for global problems.
	And that lesson has to become indelible.
	The flip side of this epiphany, however, is that given how hard we've found it to be to convince ourselves that this pandemic that is just crashing down on us is worth paying attention to.
	I don't know how we get our heads straight around climate change.
	Just imagine if this were climate change, right?
	And you had reports out of Italy that climate change has arrived and the hospitals are full and they're having to triage.
	Patience and deciding whether a 45-year-old with two kids should live over a 55-year-old with three kids.
	And that's all due to climate change.
	And, you know, we can track its progress across the Atlantic, and it's coming to New York, and we still can't decide whether to pay attention to it.
	That's the situation we're in right now, and yet, you know, climate change is this multi-year, multi-decade abstraction.
	These are the kinds of people you've got to be careful of.
	This guy is a globalist a-hole.
	Yeah.
	And he's not even giving solutions, he's just saying, we have to do it globally, not with the reality TV star.
	Hey, climate change, it's in Italy, it's coming!
	Yeah.
	It's a horrible guy.
	Horrible.
	I can't believe that people actually take that seriously.
	Well, your buddy Joe Rogan's a big fan of his.
	Well, the Joe Rogan interview with the virologist Ulsterholm, I think his name is, which has 11 million views now, that was a big part of the panic.
	A lot of people listen to and watch Rogan, and 11 or 8 million views is some astronomical number.
	That caused a lot of panic.
	And again, the guy started right off with, well, looking at the model, two million people.
	The same, same stupid-ass model.
	There is one...
	Yeah, one of the reasons I think we have so many dudes named Ben that listen to this particular podcast, because I don't know if there's any other podcast that understands computer modeling and what a farce it is 90% of the time.
	Exactly.
	And they're all computer guys.
	They have to run into this constantly.
	There was another question that the president answered, which he actually scoffed at when it came in.
	Again, clearly another Chinese globalist move.
	The major trade coalition is calling on you to suspend tariffs with other countries as part of the response to the coronavirus.
	Who heads that group?
	Those countries do.
	Probably.
	No, it's an American free trade.
	I know.
	I'm sure a free trade.
	Look, China's paying us billions and billions of dollars in tariffs, and there's no reason to do that.
	They haven't even spoken to me about that.
	China hasn't asked me to do that, but we're getting billions of dollars a year from tariffs from China, and I can't imagine Americans asking for that, but it could be that China will ask for a suspension or something.
	We'll see what happens.
	China's having a very rough time.
	They have their worst year in 76 years, as I understand it, We're having a very, very tough time, and then on top of it, this happened with the virus.
	But no, we're taking in billions of dollars a year in tariffs, and this was caused by something totally unrelated to tariffs.
	So, you know, the fact that the American Free Trade Association, I tried to find out really who's behind that, and it's a very black box website.
	The fact that they're trying to move this towards a, oh, it's such a global problem, let's drop all tariffs, that tells you that there's a move afoot.
	Something is going on.
	Exacerbated by these letters that people in the media and at critical infrastructure are receiving from their employers.
	I don't know if you've heard about this, I've received a number of them from people.
	And it's a letter that says, you know, the bearer of this letter is working under the authority of, I think it's Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security.
	Of course, all of this, once you have the state of emergency and you've activated, all these things start to happen.
	So people are getting freaked out, like, holy crap, I have a letter that allows me to buy fuel.
	What's coming?
	What's coming?
	And I've researched it.
	Now, don't worry.
	This is very typical, very normal.
	When this has been activated, it's just part of procedure.
	What I find fascinating is you can get these letters, high-quality PDF, all over the Internet.
	You download it, print it out.
	You just show it to whoever you need to show it to.
	I don't understand the effectivity of it.
	But then there's how people feel about the media, of course.
	They're very full of themselves.
	They love how, even if they're sitting in essentially podcaster setups, they're now learning that you can do good content as a podcaster sitting in a little box with a green screen.
	That's how all the shows are made now.
	But this local NBC report kind of took it a step further.
	It seems that there cannot go a day by when I don't get a call.
	About some rumor about the National Guard.
	Let me just be very, very clear.
	When the National Guard is going to do something, you will know about it.
	So at this point, we don't know about it.
	One of the other things he said coming up, because we've been asking about this for several days, when are daycares going to be affected at this point?
	And because they are so essential for so many of the healthcare workers that are using at this point, he says that may be in coming days.
	It could be as early as tomorrow.
	And he also spent some time talking about those essential workers.
	I mean, we are those essential workers, but of course, the heroes out there, the people...
	We are the essential workers here at Broadcast TV. We, the news models, we're essential.
	We're the heroes of this.
	So full of themselves.
	Wow.
	And here's a PBS reporter.
	That's a great clip.
	You'll like this one more.
	Here's a PBS reporter where the truth always wants to come out.
	And Judy, the fear is that the U.S.-China relationship is getting worse right now at the time that the world is facing an economic and medical crisis.
	We're faking it.
	Yes, of course.
	Faking.
	So we have three girls out of work, essentially, furloughed is what it's called, with this decision.
	I'm sorry?
	With pay?
	No.
	When you're working in a restaurant, you don't get pay.
	You're furloughed.
	Goodbye.
	You're screwed.
	Yeah, you're screwed.
	This is hundreds of thousands, if not millions, I want to remain by my prediction of April 6th for the following reasons.
	One, as we discussed, this has been around for a while.
	I think they know the numbers.
	The testing, no one really wanted to do all this testing because they want to get out of it quickly.
	Now we've added five days until I think the 24th.
	That will increase the numbers, make the curve look bad, and let the media go crazy.
	But that'll be the peak.
	Then we start to flatten it.
	Another reason is the pandemic bonds.
	March 24th is the date that those are looked at.
	So we need to have a turnaround by them.
	Otherwise, those investors get screwed.
	But everything should be done by April 6th.
	And it has to be.
	We cannot go any further than two weeks on this lockdown.
	I mean, even two weeks, I think, is too long.
	What's your feeling?
	I mean, it will kill too many businesses if we stay closed longer than...
	We're already going to see a lot of that.
	Well, let me play a clip, and I have some thoughts, because I go for drives.
	I pay zero attention to this lockdown.
	You've got to print off one of those pieces of paper, man.
	Essential personnel.
	A hero.
	I have a surf hat or community emergency response cert.
	I have a cert.
	Computer emergency response team.
	Let me tell you this story.
	So I'm in LA and I'm staying at an Airbnb and this woman, I get there early and she's finishing off a garage sale and there's a cert hard hat sitting there.
	And I said, What are you going to sell this for?
	She said, well, you can have it if you want it.
	Nice.
	I said, hell yeah.
	Is it white?
	Is it a white one?
	What color?
	No, it's green.
	Ooh, even better.
	That looks official.
	The green ones are the real ones.
	Yeah.
	It's a real one.
	And so I just throw the third hard hat in the back seat.
	I'm good to go.
	There's a clipboard back there.
	Okay, clipboard, but just print out one.
	I'll send you the link.
	Just print out one of these PDFs just in case.
	Send me one of those.
	Next time you're on your drive.
	So let's play this clip.
	This is the enforcing the quarantine in Alameda County.
	This is a bogus clip.
	I haven't talked to any of the police I've run into, because I haven't seen too many.
	They're all taking time off.
	But this is bullshit.
	Betty, police and sheriff's deputies will actually be the ones doing the enforcement.
	Here in Alameda County, deputies say they hope their enforcement power won't be needed.
	We don't in law enforcement perceive any major problems with people not complying.
	Sergeant Ray Kelly with the Alameda County Sheriff's Department says they expect most people to stay home over the next three weeks, but if people are blatantly ignoring the shelter-in-place order, deputies will step in.
	Where there's extreme levels of this, the law is giving us the authority to act.
	The first page of the order spells out the legal consequences, saying, violation or failure to comply with this order is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both.
	Yeah, okay.
	So the idea, if you look at this lockdown, everyone got a call, by the way, even on the landlines.
	Hello, this is your emergency response team from Alameda County.
	You're required to stay in shelter in place for the next 21 days.
	Shelter in place.
	Did you also get one on the cell phone or just the landline?
	It came on cell phones, too.
	Interesting.
	Not all the numbers, but it came on a couple of the phones.
	So everyone's supposed to say, okay.
	But the exception is, if you're going to go out for anything...
	Pharmacies, if you've got to go pick up your drugs, or if you've got to go to the store.
	That's the two exceptions.
	So, you have to go to the store.
	The store may be in another town.
	There may be some store you like to go to.
	I mean, there's no restrictions on it.
	No, John, this is a very successful mind-control exercise.
	Yes, it's totally successful, and everybody's going, okay.
	There's a couple of benefits.
	You can shoot to San Francisco effortlessly.
	There's no delays.
	Traffic is great.
	It's fantastic.
	There's nobody around.
	They're still doing construction.
	They haven't stopped doing that.
	Our homeless have disappeared.
	How about yours?
	I was...
	No, not in San Francisco.
	Around here, I haven't looked in Berkeley, but in San Francisco they're still there.
	I haven't seen any changes.
	Yeah, we were downtown and I didn't see them.
	Oh, interesting.
	Maybe there's a sweep going on behind your back.
	Stay home!
	We'll sweep up the homeless.
	Could be.
	So I took the drive yesterday to go to one of my favorite stores, the Grocery Outlet, which is way up in Richmond.
	So I took the entire drive all the way up San Pablo Avenue to check out the stores and what was open, what was closed, who was driving around.
	The traffic seemed about the same to me, although it wasn't...
	If you go during rush hour, it's still light, but it seemed fairly normal.
	All the car repair places, every single one of them is open.
	Every one of them, every little tire changer and oil changing operation is open.
	The gas stations are open.
	Then I go past these little malls, the Marshalls and all the clothing stores and those places are closed.
	Anything that even has any kind of food at all is usually open.
	Some places that are not essential, as far as I can tell, are open.
	Tap Plastics, I believe, was open.
	So there's a lot of guys that just say, nuts, I'm going to stay open, and they've stayed open.
	There's a lot of that.
	It went past Safeway for some unknown reason.
	There's a long line in front of Safeway.
	I don't know why.
	I can tell you why.
	They've done this now here as well.
	They've implemented, just like Italy, a set number of customers in the store at the same time.
	So they're all jammed together outside in a line.
	Yes, true.
	It makes nothing but sense.
	Of course not.
	And so I went to a grocery outlet, which is a place I like to go because it has a lot of weird stuff that is like test marketed materials and things like that.
	And I started to notice what would be missing from there because this would be the last place.
	All the toilet paper is gone, which actually surprised me.
	All the paper towels are gone.
	Yeah.
	The cleaning supplies are gone, so that's all just checklist stuff.
	All the red meat and chicken is mostly gone.
	The pork is there.
	Pork and the fake meat.
	Everywhere I went, fake meat.
	No one's buying that.
	Not a single person.
	What do we do in the case of apocalypse?
	Not even going to eat that shit, that's for sure.
	Every tortilla in the place was gone.
	Now, the tortilla factories may have just stopped work, but I don't know.
	It seems unlikely.
	So there's no tortillas.
	There was no pasta.
	Zero pasta.
	And no pasta sauces.
	That's the American way.
	We buy mac and cheese, pasta, and pasta sauce when there's an emergency.
	And maybe a can of tuna fish.
	But even that's iffy.
	Yeah.
	Everything else was there.
	And it was like, there were eggs, even though apparently at Whole Foods there's no eggs.
	Well, I have a supply chain story of stores.
	I went to two different stores.
	One is HEB, which is this fantastic Texas company.
	Everybody knows HEB. In Texas, everybody knows HEB. And HEB has their shit together.
	They're communicating with the community.
	They're a great, great store.
	They're open from 8 a.m.
	to 8 p.m.
	so they can stock overnight.
	They're doing special hours for elderly people who are more susceptible.
	Obviously, you're not going to get your brand name peanut butter, but okay, if you don't mind the crunchy Peter Pan, you can get peanut butter.
	But they really have done a fantastic job.
	So I stocked up at HEB. Then I went to Whole Foods.
	Disaster.
	Disaster.
	Half the store is dark because they've had to shut down three quarters of the meat section, more than half of the fish section.
	There's no chicken.
	Everything frozen is gone.
	If you want artisan cheese...
	Whole Foods is the place for you.
	You want anything else?
	Completely out.
	And so I went to the deli counter because I wanted some turkey and there was a little piece of turkey left and the young lady's slicing it for me and I said, you know, how are you feeling?
	She says, well...
	This is crap, man, because I'm an hourly worker and I'm not quite sure how I'm going to make ends meet because we're going to have to shut down.
	Our suppliers are already at 50%.
	They will not send us more than 50%.
	And when you think about it, it's all that artisan bull crap that Whole Foods sells.
	You know, if you just want some basic items, you just want them in bulk, you're not going to get that from Whole Foods.
	But they've been chopped down to 50% of deliveries from their suppliers.
	This is because of the Amazon system.
	I saw these changes.
	I saw how they were doing just-in-time delivery of the crab cakes.
	I know it sounds weird, but I saw it.
	And they were smaller and cost the same.
	I think Whole Foods is going to have to close its doors.
	They're not going to be able to stock anything of any value that people want.
	Or give in.
	Yeah, give in.
	Exactly.
	I mean, this just-in-time thing is great.
	It's idealistic.
	During a decadent time, you can do stuff like this, but any little ripple in the space-time continuum, you're out of business.
	Let's talk about the money for a second.
	Because this is big, and the President said we're going to go big, and we already had the Federal Reserve putting in a trillion dollars, not putting it in, but making available for the bank overnight lending, which is not the same as the Fed printing money.
	It's a head fake, really.
	It's just numbers overnight, just to make sure one bank who's weak somewhere in the system is not going to go out of business, so the Federal Reserve provides some liquidity, but just short-term.
	The $8.3 billion, which was the initial response, which will be spent by April 6th, which is my date for the turnaround.
	Then the president, Mnuchin's been doing a lot of different press conferences, and his Tourette's is back, I have to say.
	He's getting a little more nervous.
	He said, look, we're going to take care of the $50 billion bill that originated from the House for the Families First, blah, blah.
	It's really just a political move.
	It gives a crap at this point.
	Sign it.
	Phase one, which they're working on today, is to get half a trillion dollars out with another half trillion dollars in checks or some form of payment.
	How does that exactly work?
	For me, and I'll just tell you up front, I think everyone's all in modern monetary theory.
	Who gives a crap?
	Print it.
	Won't make any difference.
	It's 0% anyway.
	We can always jack up inflation later.
	I'm simplifying it, but is this a big deal or is it not a big deal?
	Depends on who you talk to.
	I'm talking to you, my friend.
	I have no idea.
	Well, you were all in on modern monetary theory.
	I thought you had thought about it.
	If it works, and it's a big if, I mean, it's probably best that the market is already kind of collapsed.
	Let's face it, it's collapsed.
	Well, the market is one thing.
	I'm not talking about the market.
	Well, the market is a reflection of the economy.
	Thank you.
	And so it says, okay, well, you're going to try the modern monetary theory We're going to do it from Dow Jones, 19,000, not 30,000, and then we'll figure it out after that.
	In other words, they're not in on it in some psychological sense.
	I mean, the market is a weird animal.
	It literally is like an animal, and it has its own way of thinking.
	And so it has decided that this is not good, but go ahead.
	It's not good, but go ahead.
	I was talking to the former New York banker again.
	Also, he's emailing me a lot, so I know that it's on his mind.
	Did you ask him how his V is coming?
	How that V is coming?
	He says the market...
	This was two days ago.
	He expects the market to go down further, which it did.
	I don't know what it's doing today.
	He still believes in the V, but here's what he...
	I guess he's looking for how to get his money back or to invest...
	At this point, if you were in the market, yes, that's what you'd be doing.
	Here's his thinking.
	Where's the growth going to come from?
	He says it's not going to come from finance.
	That was destroyed.
	That was the real growth driver, certainly, of the U.S. economy.
	He thinks that, and I think we talked about this before, that Silicon Valley, we have now learned we can keep people at home.
	We have telemedicine is being promoted heavily.
	Look at the Teladoc.
	See, that stock's on fire.
	Despite it being a piece of crap company, Slack is up.
	Silicon Valley, they've always wanted to be your bank.
	They're going to be your bank.
	I think this will bring in cashless.
	Not that it'll be a rule, but hey, you don't want to risk germs.
	Just tap your phone.
	You don't want to risk touching nasty cash.
	World Health Organization even said so.
	It's dirty, nasty cash.
	Coronavirus can stick to it.
	So they're going to be your bank, and they want to be your doctor, and they want to be your teacher, and they're going to get it.
	This is the technocratic society.
	This is not the event that will bring us there 100%, but we'll get something.
	Like China, perhaps.
	They did this.
	So the app defines where you can go.
	If it shows green, then you're fine to carry on as normal.
	If it shows yellow, you need to stay at home.
	If it's red, then you really need to stay at home for 14 days.
	And that the color on the app, the color coding, can be changed automatically by algorithms that identify where you've been, who you've been in contact with, and so on.
	So that's the kind of thing that can be done in China, but maybe not so much in other parts of the world.
	I think it's going to be done easily.
	It will not be a separate government app that says FEMA tracker.
	It'll be built right into your existing insurance, your health insurance app, or something like that.
	And it will be tracking what you have, where you go.
	In fact, today, with any health insurance app, them fully aware of your physical health, today can say, oh, you shouldn't be in this area because you have respiratory syndrome.
	And there's people over here who are sick.
	Stay away.
	Boop, boop.
	Danger.
	Danger.
	Turn right.
	Bye.
	That's coming.
	Well, it's not coming in our lifetimes.
	Yes, it is.
	Oh, my God.
	How can you, the man who started with me agreeing that insurance apps will be tracking your driving to raise your...
	This is only 10 years ago we were talking about this, and it's here today.
	Well, I was talking about the fact that the black box in the car would be used by the state before that, before we even started doing this podcast, that the black box in your car would be giving you speeding tickets.
	They haven't done that yet, though.
	Every insurance app gives people bonuses for downloading the app, either doing exercises.
	That's an absolute fact, and that's a trick.
	So you don't think this health tracking is going to be activated in these apps?
	Maybe you meant not in your lifetime.
	I think it will be in my lifetime.
	No, it won't be in your lifetime.
	Put it in the book right now.
	Put that in the red book.
	I won't be here to read it.
	Yeah, but I will gloat over your grave.
	Ha ha!
	I told you!
	then beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, get out of the graveyard, Curry.
	Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, get out of the graveyard.
	Another China story, which is very freaky.
	This is a county in Colorado is on lockdown.
	Colorado is seeing its first county essentially go on lockdown to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
	San Miguel County, tell The county's shelter-in-place order came with an announcement that they're working with a biomedical company for a first-in-the-country blood test for the virus on a county-wide scale so everyone in San Miguel County can get a test now if they want it and then another blood test in two
	weeks.
	This is interesting.
	They're doing a blood test.
	All of this stuff that we're talking about is swabs.
	But this one company, United Biomedical, is doing a blood test.
	Well, if you look at United Biomedical, you see that they're pretty much a Chinese company.
	They have Chinese representation, Mandarin writing on their damn website.
	They have the Shen Lian Biomedical Company.
	They're doing something with the blood, and I don't know what.
	I don't know exactly what they're tracking or what they're doing.
	This is an anomaly and should be looked into.
	I wouldn't trust them.
	No, of course not.
	I'm not going to let a Chinese-backed or Chinese-affiliated company test my blood in this particular case.
	No.
	And yes, I'm very biased against China.
	Not the Chinese people.
	China.
	The government.
	The government.
	No, it's not even a government.
	It's a gang.
	The Chinese Communist Party, a bunch of gang.
	Gang, they're thugs.
	Thugs.
	Let's listen to Trump talk about the self-swab test.
	Okay.
	Today I can announce further steps to expand testing capacity.
	We're working with several groups to determine if the self-swab, a much easier process than the current process, that's not very nice to do, I can tell you, because I did it.
	But we have a current process that's a little bit difficult.
	If you haven't done the The groups are working on determining if a self swab by an individual is as effective as the other.
	The other is very effective, very accurate.
	But we're going to see if we can do a self swab, which would be a lot more popular, I can tell you that.
	He's moaning about he had to take the test.
	Yeah, it's nasty.
	That's why nobody wants to take the test because they shoved this swab through your nose, into the back of your mouth, down your throat.
	Yeah, it's nasty.
	And then they pull it out.
	It's a mile long.
	It's gross.
	It's very nasty.
	I had a clip.
	Let's see what I'm missing here.
	Well, that's odd.
	Sorry.
	I had a clip, but I guess I can't figure out what that was.
	Just back to the shutdown.
	Going along with the general idea of Agenda 21, 2030, which I'm sure this is all a part of it, and you're already hearing the globalists talk about climate change and how that fits together.
	It seems to me that the idea here of this shutdown is...
	To come back with less mom-and-pop stores.
	I mean, I think a lot...
	There's always stores on the brink, mainly because of online sales.
	I don't think they'll come back at all.
	I think, you know, some bookstores will give up.
	I think that, in my case, I'm worried about the Hopkins Launderette.
	A small shirt and laundry shop that is run by one Japanese woman and her daughter...
	And it's not, there's no, unless if there's three weeks of out of business, they're not going to be in business.
	And I think many, many restaurants, but certainly the small grocers, they're not going to come back.
	I think they're just going to be destroyed.
	And isn't that part of the plan, ultimately, for the technocracy to be your bank, be your doctor, be your teacher, and you order everything online.
	We know you know how to do it.
	We'll just bring it to your house.
	Don't worry about it.
	And we're going into, again, I agree, not in our lifetime will we see the full thing, but while I'm alive, I think I want to yell a lot so people can remember I was yelling about it.
	Yes, yes, exactly.
	So let's take a short, I want to play just a little bit of a clip.
	This was a funny clip that showed up on Twitter.
	And this was a Simpsons show.
	Simpsons, of course, predicted the Trump election.
	And Simpsons kind of predicted...
	I don't have the episode of this or what season it was.
	Somebody, they keep asking.
	Nobody seems to dig it up.
	I could probably do it.
	But I just want to play the clip.
	This is the house cat flu clip from The Simpsons.
	I'd like to call to order this secret conclave of America's media empires.
	We're here to come up with the next phony baloney crisis to put Americans back where they belong in dark rooms glued to their televisions too terrified to skip the commercials.
	Well, I think...
	NBC, you are here to listen and not speak.
	I think we should go with the good old-fashioned public health scare.
	Yeah.
	A new disease.
	No one's immune.
	It's like the summer of the shark, except instead of a shark, it's an epidemic.
	And instead of summer, it's all the time.
	Now, I hate to be the guy who derails what everybody else loves.
	He loves being that guy.
	But, Janice, we do have standards.
	This can't be a made-up disease.
	The only moral thing to do is release a deadly virus into the general public.
	We do have something we've been holding on to, but it hasn't been tested.
	Get over here, NBC. Oh...
	We certainly believe in testing, but I... Oh!
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Oh, yeah!
	So, we've got our deadly disease.
	Now, we just have to blame it on something that's in every household, something that people are a little bit afraid of already.
	House cat flu is coming, people!
	The Center for Disease Disinformation predicts with some degree of probability that the house cat flu might spread in the following hypothetical outbreak pattern...
	So, Petter, beware.
	That warm body on your lap just might be ready to destroy your tender fiddles.
	Springfielders are advised to stay tuned for more information if they experience any of the following symptoms.
	Mild thirst, occasional hunger.
	I like the Centers for Disease Disinformation.
	That's very good.
	Yeah.
	Uh...
	A reminder, as we said at the beginning of the show, that the social networks are being completely controlled.
	AI is running the show, so stuff is getting blocked, deleted.
	Accounts are getting suspended.
	This is why we have NoAgendaSocial.com.
	None of that exists there.
	And please go there if you're looking for a gig or if your company is looking for teleworkers.
	We have a lot of dudes and dudettes named Ben who are out of work, people who have all kinds of skills.
	It's already happening.
	NoAgendaSocial.com.
	Go there.
	You can get an invite from multiple places.
	We don't like to open up the registration all the way, but this is the time we can actually help each other.
	Also, I think meetups will probably be off for a while, although two seem to be scheduled.
	We'll talk about that later.
	I love seeing people coordinate on NoAgendaSocial.com.
	They're doing their own meetups on Jitsi or whatever that thing is called.
	Jiu-Jitsu.
	Some kind of crazy video meetup.
	And I think alcohol is involved.
	The community is good.
	Even on lockdown, we're in a good place.
	However, beware...
	Beware, if you don't hate the orange man, you're gonna die.
	There's also a Washington Post piece that talks about the fact that older Americans are more worried about coronavirus unless they're Republican, Jennifer.
	We now have a situation where Trump's own people are actually in greater danger, but those of us who live in this earth can't even reach them.
	They're not listening to anything that any of us say, including someone like you as a former Republican.
	You can't reach them.
	No, and there is a particular cruelty, irony, that it is their core viewers, the Republican-owned reviewers, as Eric said, who are the most at risk.
	And when you think about it, which party...
	Stop.
	I don't know who this woman is that's talking, but she sounds like a Nancy Pelosi from like five years ago.
	Jennifer Rubin.
	Jennifer Rubin, the blogger?
	Jennifer Rubin is supposedly...
	She's a columnist for the Washington Post.
	But she is a – she's supposed to be the conservative blogger for The Washington Post.
	She's not conservative.
	She's not Republican.
	She's a diehard liberal, and she does this phony baloney, I'm a conservative, and I hate Trump.
	Worse, she's saying if you watch Fox News, you're going to die.
	I can hear what she's saying.
	But you've got to back it up again because if you start listening to her as – she's obviously in the same milieu as Nancy Pelosi.
	There's also a Washington Post piece that talks about how many Americans are more worried about coronavirus unless they're Republican, Jennifer.
	We now have a situation where Trump's own people are actually in greater danger, but those of us who live in this earth can't even reach them.
	They're not listening to it.
	It's just the arrogance of what Joy Reid is saying right there, politicizing this to this degree.
	Trump's people, they don't live in, she lives in this earth, she lives in the hell of earth, but this is very disturbing.
	Anything that any of us say, including someone like you as a former Republican, you can't reach them.
	No, and there is a particular cruelty, irony, that it is...
	You're right, total Nancy Pelosi clone.
	So she's conservative and hanging out with the Nance crowd, for sure.
	There are core viewers, the Republican-owned reviewers, as Eric said, who are the most at risk.
	And when you think about it, which party immediately canceled all of their rallies?
	Which party immediately started having their political figures really portray and use their lives as an example?
	It was the Democrats.
	So there are going to be, I hate to put it in these terms, there are going to be less Democrat deaths because there will be less mass gatherings.
	There will be less opportunities for people to congregate and share this horrible disease.
	It's a head shaker, man.
	Head shaker.
	And then last night...
	They have Trump derangement syndrome.
	It's like they're insane.
	Their amygdalas are exploding in their heads.
	But they play their hand, because on one hand, it's, we're all going to die, lockdown, we're all Americans, be together, and then they do this shit.
	Oh, yeah.
	When you politicize it, then I know that you got...
	If CNN is willing to take China's call and say, oh, it's racist to say Wuhan...
	Then they were willing to lie about the severity of it in the first place.
	This is...
	Of course, no one will believe it, but no agenda producers know.
	This is the death knell.
	It's the death knell for corporate media.
	And every single time they come up with a new model, we'll have to refer back to this bull crap.
	But last night, on the station where people are going to die because they watch it on Fox...
	Tucker Carlson, near the end of his show, all of a sudden brought in the weirdest guy on Skype, which it may have looked less weird if he wasn't on Skype, clearly looking down to read some kind of press release.
	He just kind of threw it in there.
	Fortunately, there's some good news to report tonight on that front.
	Early evidence suggests that chloroquine, that's a cheap anti-malaria drug, may be effective in treating coronavirus.
	Gregory Regano is an advisor of the Stanford University School of Medicine, and he joins us tonight.
	Mr.
	Regano, thanks so much for coming on.
	So, tell us what this is and why you think it's promising, please.
	So, the president has the authority to authorize the use of hydroxychloroquine against coronavirus immediately.
	He has cut more red tape at the FDA than any other president in history.
	And for example, in 2017, a new drug was approved for muscular dystrophy for a clinical trial that enrolled less than 15 patients and was generally uncontrolled in an open setting.
	Hydroxychloroquine has been on the market for over 50 years with a quality safety profile.
	And I'm here to report That as of this morning, about 5 o'clock this morning, a well-controlled, peer-reviewed study carried out by the most eminent infectious disease specialist in the world, Didier Raoult, MD-PhD, out of the south of France, in which he enrolled 40 patients.
	Again, a well-controlled, peer-reviewed study that showed a 100% cure rate against coronavirus.
	The study was released this morning on my Twitter account, ReganoESQ.
	As well as our most recent website, covidtrial.io.
	The study was recently accepted to the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents by Elsevier.
	So, it was such a weird thing.
	That is weird.
	I want to interrupt that for a second and mention that JC, who believes he has corona, he already took this stuff.
	Chloroquine is a...
	It is a...
	Synthetic quinine that's actually semi-toxic.
	You have to be real careful with it.
	Yeah, quinine is the concentrated stuff is what they dip arrows in, right, to kill you.
	No.
	I'm thinking something else.
	I don't know what you're...
	It sounds...
	No, quinine was the anti-malarial that you...
	Oh, I'm thinking curare.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah, curare.
	There you go.
	That'll fix it, too.
	Yeah, that'll stop it.
	Quinine, which is used in gin and tonic.
	Oh, yes, of course.
	It's supposed to make your headache go away.
	And so you can't get enough quinine, actually pure quinine, to treat coronavirus.
	And so it turns out that this particular synthetic quinine, which is never mentioned in this report, obviously...
	It's a chemical that works just the same way.
	It's got the same looking molecule.
	But liver toxicity is a problem.
	You have to do a lot of blood tests or don't use it much.
	But it's not new.
	And in fact, it turns out, as they mentioned in the report, that this is a well-known kind of an antiviral drug.
	It goes way back.
	But here's the question.
	So, Buzzkill Jr.
	believes he has coronavirus, which leads me to believe he hasn't been tested for, but he has taken this and it did not help?
	No, he doesn't have corona anymore.
	He's done.
	He's fine.
	Did it help when he took it?
	It could have...
	Do you know if a drug that you took...
	Had anything to do with it or your body maybe cured itself?
	You don't know.
	I mean, it seems to have.
	Okay, so I'm just asking from the timeline.
	He took it and he got better whether it was a drug or not.
	Yeah, interesting.
	I don't know.
	I mean, he's not...
	He didn't go...
	I mean, he didn't use any of the antivirals or D3 or anything.
	Tell him thanks for helping out the show by not trying everything possible to report back.
	That's kind of...
	Not participating.
	He's not a team player.
	What the hell?
	A little too much experimentation seems to me.
	But yeah, I don't know what the point of that was in this show.
	It's not unknown.
	I don't like Tucker's show anymore at all.
	No, I'm very disappointed.
	He is a big fear monger.
	Huge fear monger.
	It's getting very irksome.
	Yes, there's that.
	And I can't stand the MyPillow guy.
	If I have to see Mike anymore with his Giza sheets, I'm going to puke.
	He showed up in my medicine cabinet the other day.
	Looking back at you, it's the worst thing.
	I took a couple shots at him.
	He hasn't shown up again.
	It's horrible.
	It's horrible, I tell you.
	Meanwhile, here's what's airing on television.
	This is perfect timing.
	Some people are just disgusting, particularly when it comes to insurance companies.
	Mom, we're so glad you're feeling better.
	You gave us such a scare.
	I know, honey.
	Me too.
	But I want you to know I'm at peace with my home going when my time is up.
	And did I also tell you that I got coverage for my funeral so you and your brother would not have to worry about expenses?
	I didn't know you were saving money for your final expenses.
	I haven't.
	I called the Open Care Senior Plan and with one phone call I was eligible for thirty thousand dollars for my funeral and final expenses.
	The Open Care Senior Plan will pay up to thirty thousand dollars for funeral and other final expenses.
	There's no medical exam and you can be approved with just one phone call.
	Your rates can never be increased.
	Your benefits can never be decreased, and your coverage can never be canceled.
	Call the number on your screen now and see how final expense coverage can help you.
	There's no obligation.
	Call 800- And the old lady was playing the piano, by the way.
	Yes.
	No, she's actually in the hospital recovering.
	It's disgusting.
	I have a more disgusting thing.
	Oh, can it get even worse than that?
	Well, so this is a native ad.
	Quasi-related.
	Let's do a native ad of the Entertainment Tonight style where everybody who's mentioned paid money.
	Everybody pays a bunch of money.
	Somebody paid the most money.
	And it required a big, giant football player, Michael Strahan, to say the stupidest thing in the world at the very end of this native ad on Good Morning America about Corona and how the entertainers out there are all volunteering to help and they're all jumping in and everybody's going to be really happy about this whole thing.
	This is the...
	This is the ABC GMC Pandering Combo Native ad.
	This morning, some music superstars using their platforms and the connective power of music to bring people together.
	Hank posting this video of her soulful cover of Bob Dylan's Make You Feel My Love.
	Country star Keith Urban jamming out on Instagram, joined by his wife, Nicole Kidman.
	And Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, kicking off a virtual concert series started by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization called Hashtag Together at Home, taking requests from viewers, kicking off a virtual concert series started by Global Citizen and the World Health Organization called Hashtag Together at Home, taking Oh, you're a sky full of stars.
	Thank you.
	And yellow.
	It was called yellow.
	At the start of his Instagram performance, Martin put out the call to other artists to follow his lead.
	And who knows, maybe tomorrow someone else will take it over.
	And none other than John Legend answered.
	Using that Together at Home hashtag, Legend tweeting he would do a solo live show later today.
	Fans on social media tagging their favorite artists, hoping they'd join the Together at Home movement.
	Beyonce...
	Luke Bryan and Alicia Keys among the requests.
	That's really special.
	And Broadway icon and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda streamed himself performing last week as well.
	Now Hamilton, the show, is putting out a casting call for its Haml fans.
	An open audition for people to be part of the Ham at Home digital show that streams later this month, Robin.
	Take their shot.
	Their shot.
	Their shot.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	But people are getting very, very creative.
	We're seeing that.
	I love Coldplay.
	I love Coldplay.
	Me too.
	I'll be listening to it right after we're done.
	Oh shit, I couldn't hear it at the end.
	He said, I'll be, this is the big guy, talking about Coldplay, he says, I'll be listening to him right after we're done.
	Yeah, pfft.
	Coldplay.
	That's as funny as you listen to Green Day.
	That's crazy.
	Well, I know you actually do like Green Day.
	I do like Green Day.
	But this is part of...
	To me, this is the programming.
	Together at home, we can do it.
	Be together.
	Listen to your true leaders, the celebrities.
	They're going to tell you what to do.
	John Legend, you know...
	By the way, if you believe in the computer simulation theory...
	This is one hell of a subroutine, isn't it?
	I love what they've done here.
	This is really, really good.
	And eventually we'll wake up one day and it'll be all over and things will be different.
	And why is...
	No, let me put it differently.
	The media freaking out about this racism.
	I just want to say, you know what's really racist?
	Is not reporting on hundreds of black men dying every week due to gun violence in Chicago and other cities around the country.
	You don't report on those numbers.
	You don't care.
	No, when it's white, particularly entertainers, then all of a sudden it's important.
	That's what I put in the newsletter.
	There was 11 coronavirus deaths in California when they shut the state down.
	Yes.
	And 10 homicides in Oakland.
	In Baltimore, the mayor actually said, Hey, can you stop killing each other?
	Because we need the hospital beds for corona victims.
	I don't have a clip of it, sadly.
	I did look.
	That's a great clip.
	Believe me, I looked.
	I looked.
	Um...
	Hey, you blacks, stop it.
	Yeah, really.
	Stop the shooting with each other.
	You know what I'm saying?
	You're clogging up the beds for the sick coronavirus people.
	White, the whites.
	Yes.
	Although, this is a great time for podcasts.
	I think podcasts are having an all-time boom, mainly because everything's shut down.
	The nightly talk shows, sports, all of this is gone.
	So people are going to their tribes.
	I've said it before, this is tribal media.
	We've got a tribe.
	We have some agreements with other tribes, like the Joe Rogan Experience tribe.
	But people have their tribe.
	And the biggest tribe is this mainstream trying to get you to be all in.
	On, you know, what they want you to do.
	It's...
	I think Nick the Rat Show, you have to count him in, in Grimerica.
	You keep forgetting these guys.
	Oh, no, of course.
	It's not that I forget them.
	I'm just saying in general.
	Now, of course, the saddest thing that happened is this announcement.
	It is with great regret we have to announce the cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam.
	The escalating spread of the coronavirus throughout Europe and the restrictions put in place by many governments and the Dutch authorities makes it impossible for us to host a live event as planned.
	We are very proud of the Eurovision Song Contest that for 64 years have united people all around Europe.
	And we are deeply disappointed about this situation.
	The EBU, together with the host broadcaster, NPO, NOS, Avrotros, and the city of Rotterdam, will continue to talk to see if it's possible to stage Eurovision Song Contest in Rotterdam in 2021.
	Very, very sad moment.
	64 years, they've always put on a broadcast.
	Because it brings the people of Europe together.
	Somehow Israel's a part of that.
	I actually got this...
	I heard about this last night from my neighbor Steve.
	He was like, oh my goodness!
	No Eurovision Song Contest!
	What are we going to make fun of?
	Just before we take a long overdue break...
	Where this came from, how it happened.
	To me, there's a couple of scenarios, and we just want to run through them.
	It's the least interesting, because where it came from, how it happened, is no longer important to me.
	It's what is the weapons of mass destruction of this generation going to be?
	What lie is going to pull us into some kind of behavior?
	Checking your temperature.
	It's just a little step, you know, checking your temperature everywhere you go.
	Before you know it, it's your barcode.
	Micro or nano dot tattoo if you've had a vaccination.
	There's all kinds of things that are coming.
	But just to go back to where it might have come from, let's look at the possibilities.
	There's way too many scientists and Harvard and Canadian researchers all on the Chinese payroll on this round trip through Wuhan.
	The BioLab, the World Health Organization, is intimately involved in the BSL-4 lab in Wuhan.
	So it could just be that someone of the many researchers, just like a revolving belt if you look into it, Harvard, you know, 10, 20 different professors and research, all on the payroll of the Chinese, on the sly.
	Something got out in the area, you know, it's only 30 minutes from the wet market, so blame it on that.
	That's one way it could have happened.
	If it truly was a bioweapon...
	Oh, and by the way, I forgot to mention Iran.
	Iran also has a lot of direct Chinese contact.
	That's why they also got very high numbers.
	But is that just coincidence?
	Was it meant to bring down the United States or something like that?
	I don't see how China would benefit from that.
	At all, unless this financial reset that you kind of called it a reset, you know, we're going to start at, you know, down 19,000 or whatever, unless that somehow is going to benefit them, I don't see how.
	I only see negative for China.
	Mainly, we're going to start taking back, we are going to start taking back production, and it puts, in my mind, a kibosh on globalism.
	So I don't see why it would make sense.
	Well, it makes more sense, the theory that during the World Military Games, the competition where 12,000 athletes from different fighting forces around the world were in Wuhan in November or December, that's what some Chinese are saying is, hey, you guys brought it here, it's your fault.
	Could we have dropped it in there again?
	Why would you put everyone at risk?
	And it doesn't seem like it was very controlled, certainly not by Trump, although very convenient for his entire mission of knocking China back into their place, certainly in the minds of people, and he continues to do that, calling it the Chinese virus, etc.
	What other options are there?
	Do you think that this was really some kind of an attack?
	Do you have any...
	I'd go back to the booby trap theory.
	So that would be the researchers...
	We already know they were stealing biomaterial from us, and a lot of people were busted.
	Harvard professors were arrested.
	There's just been a recent arrest again.
	They've been arresting guys left and right.
	Some guy in Florida took off, and they were all the liberals.
	Oh, this guy was run out of town because it was investigating him.
	And the idea, amongst some intelligence groups outside the country, say that we are the booby-trap masters, and we rigged a couple of these vials that, you know, say one thing and they do another.
	And they stole them and just got out, and now they're just trying to...
	It would make even more sense if it was true, what you said earlier in the show, that you rigged this thing...
	Coronavirus is also part of the common cold cycle.
	Yeah, it's just a different version.
	When you have a bad cold, like they said with the people that you talked about earlier who got tested, you don't have the flu, you have a bad cold.
	Well, if the whole country's had these bad colds over the years, maybe this L virus won't do anything at all to us.
	And so you end up with the Chinese kind of screwing themselves.
	Excuse me.
	We laugh into our sleeves.
	And then we fake the rest of it.
	Like, oh, we all got to lock it down, lock it down, lock it.
	This whole thing could be a scam.
	Well, it is.
	Look at the numbers.
	It is a scam.
	It is an absolute scam.
	The numbers do not...
	Look at the numbers.
	Just do the numbers.
	22,000 dead from flu in the United States from October 1st through March 1st, and we're all freaking out over where we are globally right now, which doesn't even touch half of that.
	So the numbers show you that we're being scammed, but you've got to look at it from all sides.
	There is...
	One other, some interesting data points, that some of these athletes that went to the Wuhan Games came from Fort Dietrich.
	Fort Dietrich, at some point, actually around the time of the...
	Hold on a second.
	What athletes are at Fort Dietrich?
	Am I... You just missed the part where I said they had the military games in Wuhan.
	Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying, military...
	Oh, you're talking military games like being in the tanks and stuff?
	No!
	No, it's a competition.
	It's sports competition.
	Yeah, that's what I just said.
	What athletes are at Fort Ditts or Fort Dietrich that would show up at these things?
	Do they have a football team?
	Yes, they have teams.
	Yes, they have teams.
	I've looked into this.
	At Fort Dietrich?
	Yes, they have teams all over the country and athletes who participate in these games.
	It's worldwide.
	There's a lot of athletes in the Army, but...
	No, but I'm just telling you...
	I thought Fort Dietrich was just a medical facility.
	I'm just telling you what it is, what I've come to understand and read, but more interesting than that is that around the same time that the event 201 took place, which you played clips of a couple of shows ago, there was a biohazard alert in the area of Fort Detrick,
	And just to add another twist to this, which I like, is that's around the same time that people started dying from vaping and some horrible lung affliction from something in THC vapes.
	I have not taken it any further than that, but I do like it.
	And then, so the idea is, oh, it was there at Fort Dietrich.
	It has bioweapons, as far as I understand.
	Something got out there.
	Something happened.
	It happened the same time.
	It could have been a part of Event 201 and could have been a complete scam.
	I don't know.
	I'm just saying there are different points.
	Well, I have a couple things we should mention.
	Fort Dietrich is where, supposedly, according to the Russians at least, is where AIDS was developed.
	It's also where Ebola was developed.
	It's also where some other things were developed, supposedly.
	And it's not proven and they deny it.
	But they do work on stuff like that.
	I don't believe for a second that Americans would do that.
	I like the booby trap.
	I like booby trap the most, too.
	I really do.
	I like it the best because it's like you did it to yourself, which is more our style.
	And listen to how Trump speaks.
	He keeps saying, no, no, this Chinese, they know it.
	They know exactly what they did.
	And he keeps messaging, it's going to be over very soon, sooner than you think.
	Because he knows.
	I had to play that clip.
	We're on the tail end of this.
	I got two clips here that make no sense.
	One, Trump on faster victory.
	That's always the toughest enemy, the invisible enemy, but we're going to defeat the invisible enemy.
	I think we're going to do it even faster than we thought, and it will be a complete victory.
	It'll be a total victory.
	Oh, yeah.
	He sees this as war.
	He's used the war term as well.
	I don't have a clip of it, but I've heard it.
	And then the Trump on vaccine is a little...
	This is a fishy, fishy clip to me.
	Earlier this week, the first clinical trial of the vaccine candidate for the virus began in Washington State, as you probably know.
	The genetic sequence of the virus was first published in January.
	But thanks to the unprecedented partnership between the FDA, NIH and the private sector, we've reached human trials for the vaccine just eight weeks later.
	That's a record by many, many months.
	It used to take years to do this and now we did it just in a very short while.
	That's the fastest development in history of what we're doing with regard to the vaccine.
	We're making very, very big progress.
	Well, luckily, your co-host has looked into this.
	What are your objections?
	What did you think was fishy about it?
	I think this is coming too fast and it says to me there's already a vaccine.
	It was a vaccine before it got released.
	What's interesting is this being called a vaccine, but it's not your traditional vaccine.
	This is not a dead virus that has been cultivated in an egg.
	This is a gene insertion.
	I'm not using the right words, but it's the 133.
	Nicely, by the way.
	Mnuchin even spoke about this.
	He said something.
	Gene 133.
	Gene 133, when activated or when you put in some protein or shoot something into somebody, this is my understanding of it, it starts to create plasma.
	And...
	And the plasma is what can suppress this and can keep you safe from this strain, all strains, I don't know.
	But it's not a vaccine in the traditional sense.
	I have the document of gene 133 and has all this CRISPR stuff.
	This is genetic stuff.
	And we'll see what it does, but it's not getting a dead virus that then you build up immunity against.
	Well, where's our news media to explain these things so we can, like, deconstruct the information?
	We don't even get that far.
	Have you seen the news media?
	They're sitting in their bunkers!
	Oh, yes, we're doing it a little differently!
	Oh, look like this and listen to John Legend playing in his basement.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in curare, John C. Dvorak.
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	In the morning, we all ship sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water.
	Subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to all of the trolls in the troll room.
	Hello, trolls.
	How you doing?
	Let me do a little troll check here.
	Troll count, troll count.
	Ah, 15.45.
	Not bad for a Thursday.
	Exactly what I predicted.
	No, I did.
	Last night's dinner table that Jay says, how many live listeners are you going to get, you think, tomorrow?
	And you said 15.45?
	I don't know.
	We had 18 on last Thursday, and we had like 15 on Sunday.
	You know, we always get less.
	No, we had 18 on Sunday, because that's an easy day to listen, but I said, we usually get 12, and she says, well, everyone's stuck at home.
	I said, ah, 15, easy.
	Easy.
	Well, we surpassed that, 1545.
	The Troll Room is at noagendastream.com.
	It's called The Troll Room because you can listen to the live stream, and you can sit there in a chat room environment and troll away!
	Everybody loves it.
	You can troll the hosts who are doing the live shows.
	I've been trolled continuously.
	But also, thank you, Troll Room, for being such an incredible help.
	Because they are on the ball.
	Those that don't have too much lag, they got answers very quick, and it's highly appreciated.
	NoagendaStream.com.
	Then we want to thank our artists for the artwork for Episode 1225, a controversial piece of art, as it turns out.
	Tyler Brown brought us this artwork.
	It was the Boomer Remover spray.
	I got hate for that, man.
	I got massive.
	Oh, yeah.
	I got hate for that.
	I got nothing.
	That's not funny, man!
	My parents are 85!
	If they get the virus, they'll die!
	They'll die!
	Okay, well, if anybody wrote you that, their parents are not boomers.
	The oldest boomer is 74.
	Thank you.
	I should have said that.
	Instead, I said, hey man, my parents are dead, okay?
	And then she came back with, I highly doubt that.
	I'm like, okay, I'm done with you.
	Really?
	She highly doubts it.
	Your parents are dead.
	You talked about it on the show.
	And I'm laughing!
	You talked about it on the show, so how would they not know this if they actually listened to the show?
	Somebody just saw it randomly.
	Dead, I tell you.
	Just dead.
	So are mine.
	I thought this was a great piece of art.
	It really set the tone.
	It shows you who the No Agenda tribe is.
	Loved it.
	It was very funny.
	And I love people.
	They get the joke.
	Ah, it's just lightening the mood a little bit.
	We're all freaking out.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can upload your art.
	It's a great piece.
	There's a lot of good pieces.
	Somehow I have stuck in my brain there was something else we needed to talk about.
	Well, I used it in the newsletter.
	It was the comic strip blogger piece where the toilet with a big giant roll of toilet It's very good.
	Ah, fantastic.
	So that's part of our Value for Value Network, people contributing in many different ways.
	The one that keeps our lights running and the servers whirring and the availability for...
	I mean, I have...
	It's interesting.
	Everybody has this, oh, lockdown and, you know, what are we going to do?
	I'm kind of bored.
	To me, I don't know about you, John, it's like my life has barely changed dramatically.
	It's exactly how I live.
	Mine hasn't changed at all.
	Every day, I was like...
	Except the kids don't want to go out.
	Tina's walking around, and she's like, what am I going to do?
	She's reading books.
	She says, oh, I'm going to go for a walk.
	She says, how are you doing?
	I'm great.
	This is my life.
	This is how I live all the time.
	I watch TV. I switch for the networks.
	I record some clips.
	I'm thinking about stuff.
	Yeah.
	So, anyway, we'd like to thank the people who support the show financially, and although this is not quite the beginning of the show, we have a pandemic format that we're adhering to today.
	We'd like to start with our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	First, they came in with good numbers for us today.
	Yes, starting with Baroness Cathy and Baron Greg Simunich, $700.
	And they write, while in Illinois, is it Illinois?
	I said Illinois.
	You did.
	Is in lockdown.
	Sir Greg and I, Dame Kathy, will continue to support the BPITU. Thank you.
	We need your help.
	It says thanks for...
	Because everyone's going to...
	There's going to be a slowdown here.
	It's coming.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's coming.
	Thanks for keeping us sane in this insane time.
	Stay safe.
	Baroness Kathy and Baron Greg...
	Simunich rhymes with Munich.
	Munich.
	So it should be Simunich.
	Simunich rhymes with Munich.
	Yeah, it rhymes with Munich.
	So it's Simunich, not what it says, Munich.
	Yeah.
	But if she put München...
	You'd think we would know how to pronounce our royalty names here.
	Yeah, Simunic.
	It's impossible to pronounce.
	Simunic.
	Baron Greg, that's what I think about that.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you, guys.
	Sir Stephen Oswego, $640.
	Included is a tithe of my lady.
	Wait a minute, he sent a note in.
	And I didn't send a note to Eric.
	I have a note here.
	Okay, well, it's the same exact as the note he wrote.
	This is a check that came in the mail.
	Interesting.
	So he obviously...
	This is slightly different than the one he sent in the mail.
	I hereby request...
	Okay.
	Included is a tithe of my latest bonus, which almost perfectly completes my barony.
	It was $640.20, I think.
	Yep.
	No, it's just $640.
	He's only got $640 on here.
	I think it was...
	Okay, maybe it was just $640.
	After 22 years, fortunately, if I stick around until then, I got a six-month severance.
	Not great.
	He was informed that he was not needed anymore as an IT manager.
	His severance was six months severance, but not great, but better than me.
	But better me than someone else, some of my guys.
	Okay.
	I've been upwardly mobile so I can adjust.
	In other words, she's going to get work.
	I hereby request whatever the best job karma there is.
	It worked last time when I requested a smoking hot MILF girlfriend karma, although it took about five months.
	I think it was the job's end of it that worked and the MILF didn't.
	Perfect timing to get me a job in September.
	Please adjust my title to become Sir Stephen of Oswego, soon to be former man.
	No, it no.
	OK, his title change is going to be former manager of the dude's name, Ben Barron of Fox River Valley.
	OK, well.
	Well, what we need to do then is give him the best jobs karma, which according to our show, our thinking is the Nancy Pelosi.
	I think that's the best one to give.
	Here you go, Sir Stephen, and see you at the title change.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Well, that carries over to the girlfriend karma.
	I'm not sure.
	Stephen Morris...
	No, it doesn't.
	What he said is that the last time he requested smoking hot milk girlfriend karma, it took five months, but he got a girlfriend.
	So he's saying if I get jobs karma, I'll get a job in five months, which will be in September.
	Oh, after a six-month severance.
	Yes.
	Stephen Morris...
	Well, the jobs karma, I think it works a little faster.
	I think so, too.
	Stephen Morris...
	600 bucks, Nola Mara, Washington.
	No, no, no.
	It's Australia.
	Oh, Western Australia.
	Okay, got it.
	Sorry.
	I was thinking, I never heard of a place like this.
	It sounds like a place in Australia.
	Stephen Morris, he's from London and England, but a resident of Perth in sunny Western Australia.
	Where no one visits.
	No one visits Perth.
	It's beautiful.
	You've been there.
	I have.
	It's beautiful.
	You're one of the only people I know.
	Yeah, it's beautiful.
	Yeah, that's what everyone says.
	It says beautiful.
	Go there.
	No.
	So please accept my humble Aussie dollaretts.
	Ah, yes.
	This is a...
	Okay.
	There's a lot of this going around.
	This was the...
	It unintentionally became a drunk donation, henceforth to be known as Sir-cuity.
	Sir-cuity.
	Get it?
	Sir-cuity.
	Night of the slums of Shaolin.
	Shaolin.
	Shaolin.
	So, proud to be an insta-night after a shameful decade of bagging douches.
	Thank you for being, this sounds like the drunk donation, for being my only source of news.
	As a cyber security professor, professional.
	And yes, Adam, I mean port scanning.
	Yes.
	I think of the No Agenda show as my firewall to the mainstream media.
	Siltering out the adware junk and weaponized its information, leaving me with exactly what I want.
	Pure infosainment packets.
	Beautiful.
	I would love some karma for my little boy Nathan and my beautiful wife.
	Q? Q? Yeah, Q. Wife, O. May I please have a...
	Gentle dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	A humbly request for the roundtable.
	Claret and Camembert or Bordeaux and Brie.
	I took the liberty of ordering all of it because I thought, you know, why not?
	It's kind of redundant, to be honest.
	But, well, do you want me to unorder?
	No, no, your order's in.
	You don't have to pay.
	Yeah, it's already paid for.
	Whichever alliterative pairing that John prefers.
	Oh, I was never asked.
	He ordered everything.
	As the resident enophile.
	Thank you both so much for all that you do.
	Jingles.
	It's science.
	Kill it.
	Goat scream.
	What is the kill it?
	Well, that's the thing.
	Oh, that was Bloomberg.
	Was that an ISO? Yeah, it was an ISO. Kill it.
	But, let me see if this is it.
	Was this it?
	No, that's not it.
	No, it was Elizabeth Warren who said it.
	She was quoting Bloomberg.
	Kill it!
	Right, but I don't remember an ISO of that.
	I ISOed it for the end of the show.
	Well, what would you have titled it?
	Kill it.
	No, it's not kill it.
	Kill it is...
	I only have one that's this.
	At least I didn't have a boss who said to me, kill it.
	I can just cue it up there.
	We'll use it from here.
	We'll do it live!
	We'll do it live!
	Shut up already!
	It's science!
	Kill it!
	The way that Mayor Bloom...
	You've got...
	Damn it.
	So close, damn it.
	Oh, you were so close.
	I forgot to stop it, damn it.
	I tried.
	I tried.
	Stephen Draper's next on the list.
	And by the way, Stephen will be knighted for the $600 dollarettes.
	Yeah, which is basically 60% of the value over here.
	Yeah, I looked it up.
	It's 60 cents.
	Australian dollars worth 60 cents.
	I can't wait to go there and buy everything!
	Yeah, but they'll be on lockdown.
	Stephen Draper in Arlington, Virginia.
	Arlington.
	Oh, good.
	We need some more people from Arlington.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	What?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I thought you missed one.
	Yep, you got it.
	Stephen Draper in Arlington, Virginia.
	33333.
	Code.
	Keep it up.
	We need your analysis more than ever now.
	Cheers from D.C. Thank you, Arlington, Virginia.
	Hello.
	Thank you.
	Say hi to Langley.
	We love you.
	Philip Wirth in Meierstown, Pennsylvania, 33333.
	In the morning, fellas, we're all counting on you now more than ever for the sanity of Informed takes and analysis.
	Keep up the good work.
	Please dedouche me.
	Yo!
	You've been dedouched.
	It's been a while.
	He says, also call my daughter...
	I don't know how to pronounce that.
	Lycia?
	Lycia maybe?
	Lycia?
	Lycia.
	How about Lycia?
	Lycia, that's got to be it.
	A goober, because she'll think it's hilarious.
	A goober?
	She's a goober.
	That's like boomer speak.
	Who calls anyone a goober?
	Goober refers also to peanuts.
	Yes, but who calls their daughter a goober?
	I don't know, but apparently if you do it, she thinks it's hilarious.
	So you're a goober.
	Alicia, big goober.
	Goober doober.
	Okay, I don't have a note here.
	Do you have one?
	I do not.
	Linda O'Connor, Austin, Texas, which you'd think I would have received something, but I will check very quickly.
	Linda.
	And no, no, no, no, no.
	I got nothing.
	Okay, I got nothing, but let me check under the word.
	I looked under O'Connor, but it's harder to check.
	So I'm going to check under Linda and then go to the end and see if I'm lucky.
	You know, this is funny.
	Here we go.
	Squirrel mail.
	It's on its way.
	I'm not even going to play it.
	You should have acued you.
	No, no, no.
	No.
	No, I got Linda Barkley.
	I got...
	And she's a PR woman selling me on brand awareness.
	I don't think...
	Linda333 from Austin, Texas.
	Thank you so much.
	If we missed your note somehow, please send it to me or John and we'll make good on that.
	And thank you for your support.
	And you are the fourth of our executive producers today.
	On to the associates.
	Starting with Just Plain Christopher in Clermont, Florida, 24520.
	In the morning, gentlemen, my donation represents the show number times two.
	122.60 times two equals 245.20.
	1226 was too small, and I just can't afford 1226.
	Dot zero zero.
	I was first hit in the mouth by Nate while I was in Afghanistan in 2010 and was promptly called out as a douchebag.
	You're in Afghanistan.
	You guys are in Afghanistan.
	Fighting the Taliban.
	Like, hey man, douchebag.
	Hey, what's going on, you douchebag.
	Hey, what?
	I lost my way after safely returning home but then found you again.
	So I definitely need a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Man overboard!
	Coming back on board!
	Well, I don't always agree with your analysis.
	Sometimes a linguist is just a linguist.
	I do thoroughly enjoy the show, and your insights and comments always make me think.
	I sometimes question my beliefs, and I learn new things.
	That's what makes us grow.
	I also need some travel, job, and just general karma in my life.
	So whatever you can do would be appreciated.
	No jingles necessary.
	Keep up the good work.
	Christopher.
	You got it.
	Thank you very much.
	Christopher.
	You've got karma.
	I was thinking, I really like that analogy.
	Who said that?
	Stephen, Stephen Morris.
	That we are the firewall for the M5M. That's a good way to look at it.
	The M5M virus.
	We don't let M5M virus through our firewall.
	Jim Rogers in Ellensburg, Washington, 240-26.
	Thank you for all the sanity and deconstruction from the No Agenda show.
	Best of all media and the universe.
	I made it to knighthood.
	Today's contribution to 24026 bringing lifetime donations to 123456.
	Nice!
	Thank you for your reporting on China.
	It's very close to the real truth.
	Thank you for your approval.
	Well, thank you.
	Your validation.
	What is the real truth?
	I don't know, but we're close to it.
	With the spread of the China virus, I finished the book, which is now on Kindle, Beijing Vampires, A Red Chaos.
	It's fiction about vampires in Beijing, but a lot of the themes are based on little-known facts in China.
	Beijing Vampires is free for Amazon Prime and pretty low, otherwise at $2.99.
	I slipped a few no-agenda memes in there.
	Oh, he wrote this book.
	Oh!
	I slipped a few no-agenda memes in there.
	Fun for adults and for students off from school.
	There are some lessons in history, economics, and a bit of psychological operations.
	Media operations and chaos.
	Could you unite me, Sir Beijing Vampires?
	Chinese name?
	Hawaii Don.
	Wow, that's cool.
	So the book is Beijing Vampires Red Chaos.
	Go ahead and get that.
	I'll get it today.
	That looks very cool.
	Interesting.
	Alright, future Sir Beijing Vampires.
	Hawaii Don, here is, what do you want, Travel Karma?
	Do you want any karma?
	Did he mention it?
	I thought he wanted a karma.
	Screw it!
	I'm giving it to him.
	I don't care.
	He deserves it.
	You've got karma.
	There you go.
	Anthony Nist is next on the list from Logan, Utah.
	23456.
	It's been almost five years since I last donated, so while I may no longer technically be a douchebag, I sure feel like one.
	Just to give you guys some quick background on myself, I'm currently enrolled in a PhD program in experimental psychology at Utah State University, where my lab focuses primarily on animal models of drug abuse and relapse.
	Although the hysteria over the coronavirus has certainly reached us here in Logan, Utah, our research is still ongoing for now, despite all the courses being moved online.
	Even still, I'm finding it hard to concentrate on matters that are starting to feel trivial compared to what's going on at large.
	Normally, I feel as though I am the one among my friends and family trying to calm the panic.
	Yeah, well, people, some people, it's hard to just, it's hard to, the waves, it's just shoveling sand into the ocean.
	But right now, I have to say that I've never felt more like a pig in human clothing.
	The facts portrayed in the media, if any of them are to be believed, just are not seeming to add up.
	They don't add up!
	Yeah, they don't.
	I can feel it in my gut that there's much more to this than meets the eye.
	I just do not know what it could be.
	We're trying to do.
	We're going to find out.
	We're working on it.
	We'll spot it.
	That's what we did today.
	We'll spot it.
	I've been feeling my colleagues, some of the smartest people I've ever known, view me as a crazy person when I say that.
	This virus is the least of our worries.
	I hate to be hyperbolic, but we need you two to cut through the BS more than ever.
	I loved you guys ever since I was hit in the mouth by my best friend seven years ago.
	And I also hate to admit that I'm no longer not a knight.
	I should be.
	But hopefully I can rectify that sooner than later.
	Anyway, keep up the good work.
	You guys are doing wonders for my sanity.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Thank you, Anthony.
	And yes, I was going to say something very prolific, but I completely...
	Prolific?
	Well, I was going to say...
	Profound is the word.
	Profound, yeah.
	Thank you, Anthony.
	Prolific means you're going to drone.
	No, I'm not going to do that.
	And Anthony already did that.
	Yes, thank you, Anthony.
	Thank you very much.
	And we're glad you're still with us here.
	Stephen Sorrell in Amarillo, Texas, $210.
	Love you guys.
	Requesting job karma as my team was laid off right before the craziness and hiring freezes are now kicking in.
	Yeah.
	You know, I've heard so many stories of all the Barry Diller companies.
	I told you, my brother-in-law got laid off from Expedia.
	And it's like three days ago, they let up a whole bunch.
	It's like during this thing comes down, two days after it starts, Diller fires a whole bunch of people from VRBO and all these other places.
	The guy's ruthless!
	Ruthless, I tell you.
	Here's your jobs karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Justin Dugit in Washington, D.C., $202.
	He works in D.C. By God, there's nothing to do.
	All because of the damn Wu flu.
	Now, there's no better way to spend my birthday than my...
	First AEP on the BPITU, executive producer is what he said.
	Justin Dugit, spook town, Washington, D.C., birthday three-night tier.
	You're on the list, man.
	Thank you very much, Justin.
	Good note.
	Yes, very much.
	Anonymous in San Francisco, 200, and this is our last associate.
	And he comes in with a note.
	Anonymous, after the Bay Area troll moot meetup, I knew I had to step up my game, so I'm getting my first associated producership credit.
	The Corona-pocalypse is just the latest in a string of fake amygdala-swelling media frenzies that no agenda has been invaluable in helping me navigate.
	Here in San Francisco, I... I calmly stroll through hordes of people who are running around like we're in a chapter three of The Stand because I am inoculated with the most urgently needed vaccine, the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you!
	And a belated shout out to Sean, Jennifer, and all the OGNA listeners at the meetup.
	For jingles, I'd appreciate some F cancer for my sister who's in remission.
	Good.
	Then a North Korean newscaster, followed by Klobuchar's That Sounds Pretty Good.
	And, of course, Corona Karma.
	Boom.
	And, oh, is this on her?
	No.
	Okay, so we're going to do it in the opposite direction, of course, but thank you very much.
	Here you go.
	I think that sounds pretty good.
	Pretty good.
	You've got Corona.
	You've got Karma.
	There you go.
	That's a good sequence.
	I like that.
	Yeah, it was good.
	Our associate executive producers, executive producers for show 1226 of the No Agenda podcast.
	Thank you all, executive producers and associate executive producers, for stepping up.
	I'm afraid John's right as this moves on.
	It'll affect everybody.
	It's going to affect us, too.
	So thank you for supporting us for this program.
	And these are, of course, I think you could probably call it executive producer or associate executive producer of the No Agenda Coronavirus Special.
	I think you should do that.
	You could say episode 1226, but I think it's okay to say the Coronavirus Special.
	That'll look really good on your curriculum.
	That'll look fantastic in your LinkedIn profile and all the other work at home profiles you're going to have to create as a part of the New World Order.
	Thank you.
	And please consider us for our next clandestine broadcast, which will be Sunday, To support us, go to...
	Dvorak.org slash N-A. And we've got to find out guidelines to help you talk through this about other people.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Water!
	Shut up, slaves!
	I realized I said it backwards.
	What I meant to say was, John, do you have a can of tuna fish there?
	I had a...
	Well, now that you mentioned it, I will tell the story.
	So I have a can of Pete's Caramel Macchiato coffee, iced coffee in a can, and I got it at Gross Out, the grocery outlet.
	They call it Gross Out.
	And everything it grows out is like either an experiment that went bad or sometimes a short fill.
	But this one, I figured what it was.
	The little tab opener doesn't work.
	Oh, so it's just defective packaging.
	It's a defective packaging.
	So you open it and it doesn't quite work.
	And so you've got to pound it with a pan to get the thing to open it so you can pour the coffee out.
	Excellent.
	I find it's always an adventure.
	Thank you for clarifying.
	I feel we should be able to give our producers some tools.
	You saw the donations.
	People think you're crazy.
	What can we recommend people do or say to those who are medium to severely freaked out?
	And mainly about the dying part, I guess.
	The economic part, there's reasons to be freaked out.
	The economic part's the problem.
	But the dying part, I would use this analogy about the flu deaths so far with the corona deaths so far and say, this is the same population of people.
	Shouldn't we be more afraid of the flu than the coronavirus?
	It's killing like three times as many.
	No, this is not going to work.
	Do you have any idea how much...
	If you post that on social media, I bet you get deleted.
	I thought you were talking about interaction, like I'm talking to somebody.
	Yeah, I know, but I'm saying that people cannot believe...
	It doesn't work.
	If you say that...
	Yeah, but if it's coronavirus, Italy, Iran, it doesn't work.
	I think the trick is to say two strains.
	I think that's, hey, because you can show them the research.
	That's not even scientific and complicated.
	It's not really.
	You just say there's the L strain and the S strain.
	The L strain was in Wuhan and due to direct travel between Italy, Iran.
	So everyone, all you in Ohio, you're all going to die.
	You're going to die.
	Some will.
	Well, you know, unless you're in Ohio, I'm not worried about it, to be honest about it.
	Ohio, though, I think they're doomed.
	Are you doing Scott Adams Dale?
	Because you need to stop that immediately.
	I did not do Scott Adams Dale.
	It sounded like it.
	I didn't hold a little...
	Kleenex to my chin either.
	Do you know what I think is just beautiful in this moment?
	People staying home all over Europe.
	Christina is in Rotterdam.
	That's pretty much on lockdown.
	Although they're trying to go for herd immunity in the Netherlands.
	Still trying.
	Everybody get it.
	Just everybody get it.
	It's going to be fine.
	Then we have Willow in Italy, which is a lot of people dying.
	It's average age 81.
	They got hit very, very hard.
	But staying at home, there's a problem.
	Everybody's at home.
	Italy doesn't quite have the infrastructure we do, but even in the United States we're seeing this.
	You have bandwidth issues.
	You have, because everyone's at home clogging the network.
	And of course the EU's, the ever smart European Union, has net neutrality laws.
	And these net neutrality laws prohibit the throttling of entertainment services.
	But it looks like they're now starting to come back on that.
	Because it seems that exactly the scenario that you and I have always painted, telemedicine, your doctor needs to talk to you, needs to do a Skype call, that can't be slowed down by anything except your Netflix podcast.
	So they have to now temporarily suspend net neutrality because the networks have to manage the traffic.
	They're going to have to degrade some streaming services.
	Gaming, it's going to have to degrade.
	I'm so happy we don't have that bullcrap here in America.
	Well, yes.
	It's exactly the example we use.
	But it's exactly the example we use.
	Oh, now it's okay.
	Oh, yeah, I guess now we can.
	Oh, it's an emergency situation.
	We have to do it differently.
	No.
	You want networks to be able to control their network.
	You do.
	Yeah, you do.
	They have to be honest about it.
	And the next step, the next step, they're going to say, they're going to ban it.
	They're going to ban certain types of games or gaming at certain hours, and they're going to shut it down.
	Your ISP will shut down your stupid game.
	Yeah.
	Put it in the book.
	Put it in the book.
	It's a benefit for the world at large.
	Put it in the red book.
	It's coming.
	It's coming.
	Now, I have a, before I get completely away from Corona, which I want to do, I want to play three clips that I've collected from the, because it's got a punchline at the end of the third clip.
	It's worth the wait.
	This is the, in 1976, there was a swine flu, bogus, fear-mongering, media-was-all-in event.
	About three years later, 60 Minutes with Mike Wallace did a breakdown of it.
	This is still old material, and so it sounds old.
	Because, I don't know, before digital, everything, in the business, you say it grows hairs every time you make a dub or something.
	And this one grew a few hairs.
	And this is part of the longer report.
	And it's actually we should just all familiarize ourselves with the 1976 swine flu non-epidemic that was going to kill everybody.
	And here we go.
	The flu season is upon us.
	Which time about this year and what kind of shots will we be told to take?
	Remember the swine flu scare of 1976?
	That was the year the U.S. government told us all that swine flu could turn out to be a killer that could spread across the nation.
	And Washington decided that every man, woman and child in the nation should get a shot.
	Oh, yeah.
	To prevent a nationwide outbreak, a pandemic.
	Well, 46 million of us obediently took the shot.
	And now 4,000 Americans are claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a half billion dollars because of what happened when they took that shot.
	By far the greatest number of the claims, two-thirds of them, are for neurological damage or even death, allegedly triggered by the flu shot.
	We pick up the story back in 1976 when the threat posed by the swine flu virus seemed very real indeed.
	This virus was the cause of a pandemic in 1918 and 1919 that resulted in over half a million deaths in the United States, as well as 20 million deaths around the world.
	See how easy it is to...
	Thus, the U.S. government's publicity machine was cranked into action to urge all America to protect itself against the swine flu menace.
	Influenza is serious business.
	During major flu epidemics, millions of people are sick and thousands die.
	Well, this year you can get protection.
	The vaccines are safe, easy to take, and they can protect you against flu.
	So roll up your sleeve.
	Protect yourself.
	One of those who did roll up her sleeve was Judy Roberts.
	She was perfectly healthy, an active woman, when in November of 1976, she took her shot.
	Two weeks later, she says, she began to feel a numbness starting up her legs.
	I joked about it at that time.
	I said, I'll be numb to the knees by Friday if this keeps up.
	By the following week, I was totally paralyzed.
	So completely paralyzed, in fact, that they had to operate on her to enable her to breathe.
	I love that you got this.
	This is fantastic.
	This is good.
	This is Mike Wallace.
	This is not some bullcrap news report.
	This is like the real deal.
	So he goes on and they talk about her for now about five or six minutes.
	I could clip through most of that and got it because it was just a horror story.
	But this poor woman quadriplegic.
	They finally got her.
	You know, after years they got her back so she could stand up, but that was about it.
	Anyway, it goes on and it gets closer to the real joke of the whole thing.
	Let's continue with part two.
	Judy, why did you take the flu shot?
	I'd never taken any other flu shots, but I felt like this was going to be a major epidemic.
	And the only way to prevent a major epidemic of a really deadly variety of flu was for everybody to be immunized.
	Where did this so-called deadly variety of flu, where did it first hit back in 1976?
	It began right here at Fort Dixon, New Jersey in January of that year when a number of recruits began to complain of respiratory ailments, something like the common cold.
	An army doctor here sent samples of their throat cultures to the New Jersey Public Health Lab to find out just what kind of bug was going around here.
	One of those samples was from a Private David Lewis who had left his sickbed to go on a forced march.
	Private Lewis had collapsed on that march, and his sergeant had revived him by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
	But the sergeant showed no signs of illness.
	A few days later, Private Lewis died.
	Okay, so this is how it started.
	And then so we have the sergeant curiously gave him mouth to mouth and never caught the thing.
	And there's the other guys all survived too.
	But now the funny part where we check in with the CDC and have us or the guy that was ahead of the CDC at the time went into private enterprise.
	And it's just funny.
	You'll see.
	If this disease is so potentially fatal that it's going to kill a young, healthy man, a middle-aged schoolteacher doesn't have a prayer.
	The New Jersey lab identified most of those soldiers' throat cultures as the normal kind of flu virus going around that year, but they could not make out what kind of virus was in the culture from the dead soldier and from four others who were sick.
	So they sent those cultures to the Federal Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, for further study.
	A few days later they got the verdict.
	Swine flu.
	But that much publicized outbreak of swine flu at Fort Dix involved only Private Lewis who died and those four other soldiers who recovered completely without the swine flu shot.
	If I had known at that time that the boy had been in a sickbed, got up, went out on a forced march, and then collapsed and died, I would never have taken a shot.
	The rationale for our recommendation was not on the basis of the death of a single individual, but it was on the basis that when we do see a change in the characteristics of the influenza virus, it is a massive public health problem in this country.
	Dr.
	David Sensor, then head of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, is now in private industry.
	He devised the swine flu program, and he pushed it.
	You began to give flu shots to the American people in October of 76.
	October 1st.
	By that time, how many cases of swine flu around the world had been reported?
	There had been several reported, but none confirmed.
	There had been cases in Australia that were reported by the press, by the news media.
	There were cases in...
	None confirmed.
	Did you ever uncover any other outbreaks of swine flu?
	Anywhere in the world?
	No.
	Oh my God!
	Still got a jingle for 1976.
	Were there any cases reported?
	No.
	Confirmed?
	None.
	Zero.
	No, nothing.
	So this scam has been going on for so long.
	Oh, brother.
	Yeah, it's kind of disappointing.
	Well, it's disappointing that we've not learned anything.
	We've not learned to figure out that this is, you know, you're being scammed.
	My voice cracked on that one.
	Yet again!
	It's Lucy and the football.
	It really is.
	Well, I staked my reputation almost on this April 6th deadline.
	I've given you four days either way.
	Thank you.
	But I still think we're going to be spot on on the six.
	It has to.
	We can't keep anything closed.
	Trump knows it.
	And I am very, very happy.
	I'll show my bias here.
	I'm happy that Trump is the one in the middle of this scam.
	Because I think either he has figured it out, and he's playing along until he can do whatever he needs to do, or he's just dumb luck.
	But I'm happy it's not Hillary Clinton.
	Oh, can you imagine?
	We'd be so...
	Well, we'd be...
	We'd be what?
	She was on Fareed Zakaria.
	And they brought up the coronavirus, and she got a little confused in what administration she was in, but okay.
	The president has said that there are some things the Obama administration did that he questions.
	He says that the Obama administration didn't handle the swine flu well.
	He talks about how it changed some of the parameters of testing.
	What do you think?
	Well, I don't think the facts support that assessment.
	In fact, what we do know is that the SARS epidemic, which happened in the very beginning of the Obama administration...
	The Bush administration, but we'll let you slide.
	You got confused.
	What we do know is that the SARS epidemic, which happened in the very beginning of the Obama administration, because I was Secretary of State at the time, really was a full-court press by the administration.
	Yeah, press.
	That's all you did was press.
	To be sure that at every level, not only national, state, and local, but globally, the United States was part of the response.
	The Centers for Disease Control had been given the responsibility under the Obama administration to be vigilant and try to get ahead of where viruses like this were formulating, especially if they were animal-to-people transmission viruses.
	So there was a lot that was done under the Obama administration and, in fact, the Trump administration severely cut back the CDC budget.
	I don't think it's a time to point fingers, whether it's from the past or from the present.
	What a horrible human being.
	Lies.
	Says, oh yeah, heavy cuts in overseas.
	What do you call it?
	Overseas monitoring or something.
	Oh yeah, that's what.
	But I don't want to point fingers.
	You shouldn't point fingers.
	And hell froze over as Hillary's hair salon mate.
	They meet up in Paris where Pierre does their hair.
	Dana Bash on CNN. First of all, before we continue, I want to just give you the dates on this.
	The SARS outbreak was 2002, shortly after 9-11, to 2004.
	What is she talking about?
	Yeah, well, she doesn't want to point fingers.
	So here is her hair salon mate, Dana Donabash, on CNN. Hell froze over.
	I mean, look, this is just coming back to where this conversation started after the press conference.
	I hear what Sanjay is saying about Tony Fauci giving a little bit more wiggle room than others.
	But if you look at the big picture...
	This was remarkable from the President of the United States.
	This is a nonpartisan, this is an important thing to note and to applaud from an American standpoint, from a human standpoint.
	He is being the kind of leader that people need, at least in tone today and yesterday, in tone that people need and want and yearn for in times of crisis and uncertainty.
	Wow!
	Wow!
	Didn't see that one coming.
	Wow.
	By the way, I think Hillary was having a Joe Biden moment because I think MERS, I'm looking at MERS. It was the MERS thing she's talking about.
	She's talking about SARS. And MERS is totally different.
	It was in the Middle East and everything got over here.
	It wasn't anything like the SARS was.
	I just do want to point out that the president has called a national emergency.
	He has enacted the Stafford Act, which puts FEMA boots on the ground, which may or may not be good.
	FEMA camps are coming!
	FEMA camps are coming!
	A lot of spooky business going on in FEMA, so I don't know how much or how well that can be controlled.
	But then the Military Production Defense Act, I think it's called...
	This is a cool one.
	And I have to say, I'm looking at this now, from now on out, I'm just looking at the PR aspects.
	That's why I like the team that the president has.
	I like Dr.
	Birx.
	I like the Admiral.
	Fauci, he talks too much.
	Before you condemn Fauci, I will say this.
	Fauci's being condemned by the right-wingers, the left-wingers.
	I listen to a lot of left-wing talk shows, too.
	Oh, good, good.
	And he's being condemned because he won't confirm all the bad news.
	I don't understand why Fauci doesn't say we should be under lockdown.
	Fauci doesn't do this.
	Fauci doesn't do that.
	Yeah.
	It's hilarious to listen to this stuff.
	And I'm not a fan of Fauci because he's benefited very well over the years from his research.
	I think he has patents on many vaccines.
	But in general, he started Tuesday, he started to speak a little more positive, wasn't kind of like, I don't know, it could be forever.
	Now someone has given him a little bit of training there.
	And then when the president, it just looks good when he says, boom, here's your hospital ship.
	Boom, there's one in California.
	That looks, have you seen that thing?
	Yeah.
	It has a thousand beds.
	It's got seven operating rooms.
	Yeah, for all 11 corona patients, it would be great.
	There's more than enough room.
	They're going to get suites.
	But this is, I agree with Dana Bash, this is what people need to see.
	The scam is in.
	Most people, in fact, 99.9% of people do not understand.
	They're very worried.
	Amygdala's already swollen.
	They're only getting the approved bullcrap online.
	We started the top of the show.
	Everything you see is approved.
	Approved by the AI rules or whatever it is.
	So you're not getting the type of information we're telling you.
	You're not getting anything.
	You're not getting anything.
	Nothing.
	Nothing for you.
	I have two more clips to play.
	All right.
	I got Pence.
	These are both, I categorize these as WTF clips because they have some element that's odd.
	This is Pence, who was the head of the thing, you know, trying to do it.
	This is Pence on closing the Canadian border.
	The President, as you all are aware, also announced today that by mutual consent, the northern border to Canada will be closed to non-essential travel.
	This does not include essential travel or the transit of goods, but it was through mutual discussion that took place this morning between the President and Prime Minister Trudeau and the Department of Homeland Security will be effectuating that decision.
	The whole thing was weird because Trudeau wanted to let Americans come back and forth to spend money, but they stopped that.
	The weirder clip where there may be some truth wants to come out is in this Pence on FEMA clip.
	As the President said last week in signing the Stafford Act, he stood up the National Response Coordination Center, and today at the President's direction, FEMA has gone to level one.
	FEMA's mission is to support disasters that are locally executed, state-managed, and federally supported.
	Did you hear that?
	Locally executed?
	No, they're support disasters.
	Hold on a second.
	No, I did not.
	Let me hear it again.
	As the President said last week in signing the Stafford Act, he stood up the National Response Coordination Center.
	And today at the President's direction, FEMA has gone to level one.
	FEMA's mission is to support disasters that are locally executed, state managed, and federally supported.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	But it's what I said as well.
	They support...
	This that is locally executed disaster.
	They support, yes, yeah, exactly.
	That's what he said.
	They support locally and are locally executed disaster around here is the shutdown.
	It's the lockdown.
	It's exactly what it is.
	Oh, brother.
	I mean, FEMA is a black box, man.
	No one really knows what FEMA does.
	I mean, we see the boots on the ground, but...
	Back in the day when I had registered MTV.com, this is in the day of the Gopher server.
	This is in the day, it was a headless, just a little bit of lore, a headless Sun 3 that ran at Digex.
	Digex was in, they were in Alexandria, Virginia, I think.
	No, Reston.
	Reston, Virginia.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Reston.
	Yeah, another spook motel.
	Go on.
	They were above a Chinese restaurant, and these were just, like, dudes named Ben and Robert Seastrom.
	I've lost track of him.
	RS, he said, yeah, you take a look around and take a look at the, you know, but you can't go over there.
	What's that?
	That's the FEMA. That's the FEMA black boxes.
	They got all kinds of stuff running on that.
	And it was this, you know, dark set of racks.
	And this is 92, 93.
	And everyone's like, oh yeah, when these guys come in, we all have to vacate.
	We can't have our guns in here if they come in.
	There's all kinds of stuff going on.
	So from that point on, I've always thought, hmm, FEMA, more than just tents and rubber boats.
	I'd say.
	By the way, before we go to the segment, I want to try out two ISOs I found.
	Yes, good, good, good.
	I'm ready for test.
	You're going to be short.
	Yep, thank you.
	This came from, the first one is Cannot Trust a Hippie.
	This came from NCISLA. You can never trust a hippie.
	This is an old school slogan, though.
	This is, you know, never trust a hippie.
	Wasn't that, was that the Ramones?
	Who did the song Never Trust a Hippie?
	I don't know.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	Then we have the other one, which is a competitor.
	Oops, sorry.
	Oh, you have it.
	You found it.
	I know there's a political line.
	I understand.
	China's terrible, awful.
	Nothing ever good.
	It's funny, but it's too long for end of the show.
	This is the...
	It's too long.
	Is that the five second one?
	I thought I had a shorter version.
	Oh, well...
	Oh, mate, let me see.
	This is...
	No, it's five seconds.
	It's China Never Good ISO. Okay, we'll play it one more time.
	I know there's a political line.
	I understand.
	China's terrible, awful.
	Nothing ever good.
	I like it, but I don't know if it's good.
	Let me check the other one.
	You can never trust a hippie.
	No, the other one's so crystal clear.
	Yeah.
	Just from the broadcasting perspective, it's just...
	But from a broadcast perspective, the hippie is a little chopped off.
	You can never trust a hippie.
	That is a fail.
	Oh, I don't think...
	So what are we going with?
	Well, I mean, if you want to play the long, the five seconds of it, Bernie, but I thought I'd clipped it down to just the blah, blah, blah, blah, blah thing.
	Well, I can do that.
	Oops, hold on.
	Yeah, why don't we do that?
	Where is it?
	China, never good.
	We can do that.
	How about here?
	Nothing ever good.
	There, or you want it further back?
	Like, here, here, here we go.
	China's terrible, awful, nothing ever good, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah, that, now that's an end of show.
	Here it is, here it is, here it is.
	China's terrible, awful, nothing ever good, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Yeah.
	Okay, sold.
	Sold, sold, sold.
	I'm putting it in, let me just mark it.
	China's terrible.
	Yeah, okay, perfect.
	And with that...
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	I wanted to do mention that we will have a little more show to do today because I have the report from the debates.
	Yes, looking forward to that.
	There's not a lot there, by the way.
	No, but it's well worth it because there was a debate.
	Robert Ryan's top of the list here for producers for show 1226, and he comes in from Charleston, West Virginia, with $160 is 18 cents, and I will read his note.
	Double boob donation for my smoking hot girlfriend, Sharon.
	Okay, Sharon, you're up.
	That's right, Sharon.
	Sharon, you're up.
	Sharon on deck.
	Joel Tucker in Largo, Florida, $122.60.
	Eric Henry in Maitland, Florida, $100.
	And one penny.
	And one penny.
	I think he's being knighted.
	Account will not warrant a note.
	Millennial traits to add to the list.
	One, huge wedding parties, over six people.
	Two, nicknaming children before they are born.
	F cancer for Pastor Cameron's aggressive brain cancer.
	Title change to Sir Abundance of Caution.
	We have to break for the F cancer.
	No!
	We break for effing cancer.
	There you go.
	I don't know about this nicknaming children before they're born to be on the list, but I will look into it.
	Thanks, Eric.
	Gene Knauss in Plimpton, Wyoming, Ontario.
	What?
	Note in email.
	We don't need to go.
	That's okay.
	We don't read notes at this level.
	So we'll read the note, but we're not going to read it out loud.
	Byron Boone in San Diego.
	First time donation in need of a de-douching?
	You've been de-douched.
	And unlike Robert, earlier, he's going to call out his smoking hot girlfriend, Kristen, as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Valerie Steensland, $100.
	Um...
	Sir Craig Chris of the Isle of Wight in Covington.
	Hold on a second.
	Valerie Steensland.
	Just want to read her note.
	It's an interesting note.
	Please help us find out if a little exposure to coronavirus can confer immunity.
	We are healthy 80-year-olds not allowed to do anything.
	My husband was paid track coach at high school until the schools were closed.
	Our family works in grocery retail, so we can't see them.
	Well, I think the beginning of the show discusses this possibility with the S version of the virus.
	Now, of course, you are at risk for anything when you're 80.
	Yeah.
	And you're also immune to a lot more stuff when you're 80.
	Yeah.
	That's why I say, that guy is hard to kill.
	Yeah.
	So, from what we know, this is not medical advice or any recommendation.
	No, we don't have any medical advice.
	We don't even have medical advice.
	No, I don't have dental.
	I got medical.
	I don't have dental.
	Just be careful.
	But I think we're going to get through this.
	Just listen to the show.
	That's my advice.
	Sir Chris of the Isle of Wight in Covington, LA, Louisiana.
	Sir Chris, yeah, we'll give him some karma in a moment for his minor surgery on Thursday.
	888.
	Yes, thank you.
	Carl Schneider in Lakeberry, Washington, 73-33.
	Jacob Hernandez in Kennewick, Washington, 75.
	Robert Fittler, 70.
	And he's got an F cancer request.
	And he's got some sort of upgrade coming.
	It says, gentlemen, with this donation, I believe I have attained the rarefied heights of no agenda night.
	Accounting attached.
	It's true!
	I'd like to be known as Sir Doug, Knight of the Copper Lines.
	If you'd be so kind, please have some beans and toast.
	Hold on, I didn't see this order.
	It's going to be a late order.
	Beans in the cabinet.
	Beans and toast and honey mead at the round table for my celebration.
	Mead is honey mead.
	Okay, so we're just adding beans on toast then.
	Yeah.
	Because we already have meat.
	Thank you.
	Please send some Jobs Karma F Cancer if you don't mind.
	I'm still in a bit of flux on those fronts.
	I love you both and appreciate you being there.
	73s.
	This says Doug, Robert, Doug Fittler.
	Kilo Charlie 0 Delta Mike Golf.
	73s from Kilo 5 Alpha Charlie Charlie.
	Stop it!
	You've got karma.
	Next is Anonymous 6006.
	We noted your note.
	Thank you.
	Sir Marcus of the Hinterland 5522.
	Dean Roker 5510.
	Joe Mazurik in Portage, Michigan, 5510.
	Sir Jackson, Knight of the Transistors in Leveland, Texas, 5150.
	Colleen Garrett, 5050.
	Eric Ortner, she has a birthday or something.
	Also a birthday or something from Eric in Sioux City, Iowa.
	Well, this is just since it's for couples.
	I made a donation of 50-50.
	This is from Colleen.
	To celebrate my smoking hot husband Dave's birthday.
	It was yesterday.
	He's the most amazing guy.
	He's smart, a talented musician, and can fix just about anything from cars to boats.
	He's patient and kind and a great dad to our 12-year-old human resource.
	He also has a great sense of humor, and he's great in bed.
	TMI, Colleen.
	He's damn near perfect.
	He's also the one who got me hooked on No Agenda.
	All right, that makes sense.
	Because No Agenda producers make better love.
	He's pretty stressed at work and could use a vacation, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon, so some karma would be greatly appreciated.
	Thanks for all you guys do deconstructing the news, telling us what the others don't.
	In my opinion, if Joe Biden wants to win, he should choose Michelle Obama as running mate.
	Oh, and my kiddo was singing the Wuhan flu song in school as her 22nd hand wash song.
	That's fantastic!
	Okay.
	Colleen, that's very sweet of you.
	Very nice.
	And I might as well read Eric Ortner, 5033, $50.33 from Sioux Center, Iowa.
	A happy birthday call out to my son, Justin Ortner, who turns 10 on the 19th.
	He requests that we listen to John and Adam when we go on trips.
	My wife occasionally laughs out loud, but hasn't been fully hit in the mouth.
	That is from the famous Eric Ortner in Iowa.
	Thank you very much for your support.
	Onward with the $50 donor's name and location, if we have it.
	And we have a lot.
	For some reason, it shows up all the time on $50.
	Christopher Mueller in Cedar Park, Texas.
	Starts us off with Andrew Gusek.
	Sir Andrew Gusek, actually in Greensboro, North Carolina, $50.
	Brad Taylor in Duval, Washington.
	Sir...
	Cirrhosis.
	Cirrhosis.
	You got it.
	In Atlanta, Georgia.
	I'm sorry I'm so slow today.
	Space boobs, he says.
	Michael Washbish.
	Washbish.
	Which I think means dog washer.
	Racine, Wisconsin, 50.
	He's from 2A Radio Parts.
	Oh, owner of two-way radio parts.
	Oh, nice.
	Mike has helped out a lot.
	He's helped out a lot.
	Mike is big.
	Oh, he hasn't helped me.
	John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma.
	Baronet.
	Amen.
	Fist bump in Montgomery, Texas.
	Steve Bottoms.
	Parts unknown.
	Adam Moray in Middletown, Maryland.
	Kathy Dragonetti.
	Parts Unknown, and he's got a happy birthday coming up for his son-in-law.
	He's a regular listener of the show, but he's never donated, so please accept this donation to de-douche him.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay, and that concludes our...
	Our list of contributors and producers of the show, 1226.
	Yes.
	Thank you very much, each and every one of you, and all those that donated lesser amounts.
	Yes, especially those who are on our programs, on our subscriptions.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash NA, and please help us out to continue this very valuable service that we are providing, the firewall to your M5M bullcrap.
	We filter it down and give you only the tasty nugget, the tasty packets that you want.
	Finishing it up.
	Dvorak.org.
	Slash N.A. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Karma.
	Pretty soon we'll have to do obituaries with that coronavirus.
	But for today, we just remain with the birthdays.
	It is the 19th of March, 2020.
	Justin Dugit celebrates today.
	Happy birthday, Justin.
	Colleen Garrett, happy birthday to her smoking-out husband, Dave.
	He celebrated yesterday.
	Eric Ortner, happy birthday to his son, Justin.
	Celebrating today, 10 years old.
	And Kathy Dragonetti says happy birthday to her son-in-law, John Harvey.
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the Best Podcast in the Universe!
	Happy birthday!
	Come gather round, douchebag, producer and slave.
	Oh.
	That's interesting.
	Interestingly, I did not get the actual title changes on my sheet from Eric.
	So on the fly, we'll say Sir Stephen Oswego becomes former manager of Dudes Named Ben Barron of the Fox River Valley.
	Did we have another upgrade?
	John?
	There was one in there.
	That may be the one, then, that we got.
	Oh, maybe.
	Well, we can always pick it up.
	Next show?
	No, we have Eric Henry, title change to Sir Abundance of Caution.
	But that's just a title change, not necessarily an upgrade.
	And, well, that's what I have.
	So, if we made any mistakes, then we'll take care of that.
	But...
	Before we go any further, we have four nightings to do.
	Ooh.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	There you go.
	Always on the ball.
	Stephen Morris, Jim Rogers, Eric Henry, and Doug Fidler.
	Step on up, gentlemen.
	All four of you have supported the No Agenda Show in the amount of $1,000 or more, and you now get that coveted spot right here on the podium with the rest of the Knights and Dames.
	And it's well-deserved.
	I hereby pronounce the KD.
	Sir Curity, Knight of the Slums of Shaolin.
	Sir Beijing Vampire.
	Sir Abundance of Caution.
	And Sir Doug, Knight of the Copper Lines.
	Gentlemen, for you we've got hookers and blow, rent boys and chardonnay.
	A nice helping of beans on toast.
	We've got claret and camembert, or bordeaux and brie, or maybe you just want some bong hits and bourbon, ginger ale and gerbils, vodka and vanilla, or perhaps...
	The crowd favorite, Mutton and Mead.
	Thank you for your support of the show.
	Go to NoAgendaNation.com.
	There you go.
	NoAgendaNation.com slash rings.
	And we'll get those out to you as soon as possible.

	Potty.
	Okay, from the back office, no agenda meetups have largely been postponed or canceled.
	Check the website for the most updated information.

	The Missoula, Montana local for Saturday.
	This meetup is still on, but we may need a change of venue.
	Dutal, major Montana cities announcing a week's closure of bar and restaurants dining in.
	Beginning today, a proposed takeout from Bigot or Bridge Pizza and a picnic in the park.
	We will meet at Kara's Park near the carousel at 4, where your Red Rose...
	No gathering slaves!
	Wear your red rose and remember the 33 sign.
	I'm just making that up.
	Get out of the park.
	You must vacate the park.
	Vacate the park.
	Join us for the third local 406 meetup of regularly-sized amygdalas, and that is in Missoula, Montana, and then still on Flight 333-LAX, but a change of plan, change of venue.
	Check NoAgendaMeetups.com for information due to unforeseen weather.
	The regular venue is not available.
	The venue for March has been selected, but the landowner will not let me publicize the location.
	Warning!
	This is...
	Oh!
	There's a huge energetic puppy rocket on the property who will be extremely happy to see you and smell you and nudge you, and so if you don't mind him or some mud, you need to call me or email me to get the exact location.
	Okay.
	Leo Bravo is hosting that location.
	If it still happens on Saturday.
	There's also apparently still a North Carolina, Eastern North Carolina Shills meetup on Saturday as well.
	But the best thing to do is to check noagendameetups.com.
	Make sure the meetup you'd like to attend is still on.
	Host organizers, please keep that updated so that everybody knows and people don't show up at the wrong place or if there's nothing at all.
	You can get arrested.
	You can get arrested.
	Vacate the park.
	Vacate the park immediately.
	Vacate the park.

	It's a good place for all of you on lockdown to congregate, assemble, and make the best of plans without algos or other kinds of crappy moderation.
	For everything else, go to NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	It's like a party!
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days You want to be where you want me Drink it all hell to blame You want to be where everybody feels the same It's like a party All right.
	We have a couple of things to talk about before we wrap this puppy up with a bow.
	First of all, let's talk about the...
	Did you watch the debates?
	I did!
	The debates with no audience?
	It was a debate.
	It was one debate.
	And I did watch it.
	And I wondered why we have a woman from Colombia as a moderator.
	Because Univision was the co-sponsor of the debate.
	I know, but what does Univision have to do with U.S. elections?
	Isn't that a South American company?
	Am I wrong?
	They're Mexican, I think.
	Oh, then it makes total sense.
	Okay.
	Well, that was the first time they did that.
	Or have they had other...
	Did they have that guy from Univision?
	No, they had that other character.
	The grouchy guy.
	The guy who's irked.
	He hates Trump.
	That guy.
	He was doing it once.
	Yeah, like this one didn't hate Trump.
	She was saying some crazy stuff, too.
	Wasn't that the one who was like hounding Biden or Bernie about something?
	Maybe I'm thinking of a different way.
	You've got the report.
	I got the bickering clip, which is kind of funny.
	Let's play that.
	This debate, best exchange.
	The two guys are bickering.
	Look, the idea that Bernie implies the way he says things, speaking of negative ads, my lord, Bernie, you're running ads saying I'm opposed to Social Security, that PolitiFact says is a flat lie, and that the Washington Post said is a flat lie.
	Oh, well, let me ask you a question, Joe.
	Yeah.
	You're right here with me.
	Yeah.
	Have you been on the floor of the Senate?
	You were in the Senate for a few years.
	Yeah.
	Time and time again talking about the necessity, with pride, about cutting Social Security, cutting Medicare, cutting veterans programs.
	No.
	You never said that?
	No.
	All right.
	America, go to the website right now.
	Go to the YouTube right now.
	Time after time, you were not a fan of Bull Simpson?
	I was not a fan of Bull Simpson.
	You were not a fan of the balanced budget amendment which called for cuts in Social Security?
	Come on, Joe.
	You won't.
	Look, here's the deal.
	You're an honest guy.
	Why don't you just tell the truth?
	We all make mistakes.
	I am telling the truth.
	You said that I, in fact...
	Why am I rated 96% by the Social Security organizations?
	Why am I viewed as a strong...
	All that I said...
	I have laid out how I will increase...
	Well, that's good.
	I laid that out.
	I have laid out how I'm going to make sure that it is, in fact, paid for.
	Go to JoeBide.com.
	Look at my exchange with Paul Ryan.
	This is literally two guys in the park yelling over checkers.
	Without the video, it's even better.
	How I'm going to make sure that it is, in fact, paid for.
	Go to JoeBiden.com, look at my exchange with Paul Ryan on his desire to try to privatize and or cut social security and understand how he manipulated...
	Here he comes.
	Joe, let me repeat it again.
	I want you just to...
	Be straight with the Americans.
	I'm going to trap you.
	I am saying that you have been on the floor of the Senate time and time again talking about the need to cut Social Security, Medicare, and veterans programs.
	Is that true or is that not true?
	No, it's not true.
	That is not true?
	That is not true.
	What is true is...
	In terms of the negotiations that are taking place, how to deal with the deficit, everything was on the table.
	I did not support any of those cuts in Social Security or in Veterans.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa!
	Everything is on the table.
	All right, you're right.
	You just said it.
	Including, in your judgment, cuts the Social Security environment.
	In order to get the kinds of changes we need on other things related.
	But we did not cut it.
	I know, because people like me help stop that.
	But Joe, you just contradicted yourself.
	Oh, you didn't get the best part.
	What?
	Go to the YouTube.
	No, that was in there.
	It was right at the beginning.
	I didn't hear the YouTube in that one.
	Did he say it right at the beginning of that?
	Yeah, it was early in the clip.
	Oh, for some reason.
	Don't tell you people of the American Republic, go to YouTube.
	I don't know if he said the YouTube.
	Well, he may have said the YouTube.
	The idea that...
	The YouTube!
	Go to the YouTube!
	I mean, who's going to vote for those guys?
	Well, either one of them.
	But Bernie is losing it because he let Biden talk over him.
	He dominated Bernie.
	And I think it hurt Bernie.
	And if that didn't hurt Bernie, I think here's where Bernie, this 31-second clip, I believe this is what lost him.
	He's weak.
	He's weak.
	Did China make progress in ending extreme poverty over the last 50 years?
	Yes or no?
	That's like saying Jack the Ripper.
	No, it's not.
	Yes, it is.
	This is the problem.
	Yes, it is.
	This is the problem.
	We can't talk.
	I know there's a political line.
	I understand.
	China's terrible, awful.
	Nothing ever good.
	But the fact of the matter is China, of course, is an authoritarian society.
	It's what I just said.
	It's a dictatorship.
	That's what I just said five minutes ago, you know?
	And by the way, you know, the question that was asked quoted Barack Obama.
	So really you thought...
	Yes, go ahead.
	Yes, I... Okay, this is a short clip.
	We can play it again.
	I think he said, you know, you know.
	First he said, you know, twice.
	And then he said, I already said that.
	I already said that.
	I said that five minutes ago.
	And then he goes on and on.
	It's just like he's, like, weak.
	He's, like, he's playing a defensive game and he's losing to Biden.
	I mean, the fact that I think Biden kicked his ass in this debate is that was it for Bernie.
	But this, I thought, epitomized it.
	You can play it again and you can just sense it, sense that he's losing it.
	Did China make progress in ending extreme poverty over the last 50 years?
	Yes or no?
	That's like saying Jack the Ripper.
	No, it's not.
	Yes, it is.
	This is the problem.
	Yes, it is.
	This is the problem.
	We can't talk...
	I know there's a political line.
	I understand.
	China's terrible, awful, nothing ever good, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	But the fact of the matter is China, of course, is an authoritarian society.
	That's what I just said.
	It's a dictatorship.
	That's what I just said five minutes ago, you know?
	And by the way, you know, the question that was asked quoted Barack Obama.
	The whole debate was just useless.
	It looked like two losers beyond their sell-by date.
	And that's really how it felt.
	It's just like, oh man, these guys.
	And then it just kind of got drowned in everything.
	Biden was calling it Ebola, and Bernie was calling it SARS, and they couldn't even say coronavirus right.
	It just didn't make any sense.
	It was pathetic.
	It really was.
	But has Bernie now suspended his campaign, I believe?
	I didn't hear this.
	Is this today?
	Yeah, yesterday, I think.
	Let's double check.
	I missed that somehow.
	Sanders suspends, I'm pretty sure, campaign.
	After he had his ass handed to him on Tuesday?
	Oh, here we go.
	Let's see what it says.
	Axios apologizes after falsely reporting Sanders' suspended presidential campaign.
	Somebody's reading Axios, who shouldn't be.
	This is how it goes.
	Bernie Sanders has not suspended his presidential campaign.
	I guess he deleted...
	Oh, they deactivated the 2020 campaign Facebook ads.
	Well, that's a good way to win.
	That's not a suspension.
	I don't know what is.
	But, okay.
	Well, we're talking about ads.
	I do have one clip I want to get out of the way.
	Well, this will be it then.
	Cut me off.
	There's a house ad that Chunk runs on Young Turks.
	And this is a part of it.
	And it's about how he really thinks that...
	Well, he thinks it's a jip that Bernie's not getting the nomination.
	But he thinks that the Democrats are going to sweep.
	Yes.
	And he's very cocky about it.
	This guy is really skewed.
	He's a skewed individual.
	But let's play the Chank House ad.
	TikTok.
	Where's the line?
	We've crossed every line you can imagine.
	We are a socialist country.
	It's socialism for the rich.
	Tick tock.
	Tick tock.
	You don't have to know the truth, just believe what they tell you.
	There is no bounds to their monstrous hypocrisy.
	Tick tock.
	I think we're gonna win the Senate in 2020.
	And I think we're gonna have the House and I think we're gonna have the presidency.
	Tick tock.
	And in 2020, we're going to clean your clock, and we're gonna run you out of town, and we're gonna have an actual democracy in this country.
	November of 2020 could also be potentially the greatest day of our lives.
	Oh, I'm glad you played this.
	Now I've figured it out.
	It makes total sense.
	He wants to be the Alex Jones of the good guys.
	That's what he's trying to do here.
	TikTok, the whole music.
	Yeah, he's totally trying to do it.
	And I'll bet that's why he hates Alex Jones so much.
	I can do that better.
	I can do that same thing.
	But we'll just make it for the good guys.
	The white hats.
	That's all.
	Do you remember the time that Chunk was doing this?
	Yeah, they got into almost a fisticuffs.
	Yeah, and he was doing a live spot at one of the conventions or something, and Jones and Stone...
	Walked right onto his set and made a big mess.
	Walked onto the set and just...
	It was just...
	It was rude, by the way.
	But funny.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm calling it.
	I think we need to go back to our battle stations as we continue our lockdown situation.
	You be careful, old man.
	Be careful, old man.
	Podcasters, stop podcasting!
	Podcasters, stop podcasting!
	And I say that with love.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, Nick the Rat from The Sewer.
	That's, I guess, his last night's replay.
	You will enjoy that.
	End of show mixes.
	We've got a few.
	We've got Shelly's daughter, who did a nice little ditty on her git fiddle with her friend.
	We've got John Fletcher.
	We've got Ray Conner.

	Until then, adios mofos and such!
	Stop podcasting.
	Now we all got the Wuhan flu Please Lord help me Help me!
	The American electorate is savvy.
	We sort out all of these different claims and accusations, and we then decide what kind of future we're willing to bet on by who we vote for.
	Oh, we're off script here!
	Yeah!
	God, God, I've lived a good life!
	I went a lot of places and did a lot of things that, looking back on it, I would be worried if, you know, some young woman today did some of that.
	One day, I was up in the library.
	The library blocked my password.
	Well then, you gotta get in the arena.
	Our backyards touched, and I got very close to her, and I couldn't bring myself to touch her on my shoulder.
	What?
	What?
	What is this about?
	You know, there's just something about you that pisses me off.
	Screw you.
	I think that, you know, we were by no means perfect.
	We started being besieged by these vile accusations.
	I don't understand.
	I've never understood this.
	And I probably will go to my grave not understanding it.
	I really do a good job.
	I'm the most investigated innocent person in America.
	See, that's why this is not just politics.
	It's deep cultural stuff.
	What you see is what you get.
	Cognitive dissonance.
	You know, I kill people.
	I rob people.
	I never really stopped to think about it.
	I just did.
	At first we got the news.
	Oh, it was quite a shock.
	People were rushing to buy your toilet paper, but the stores are out of stock.
	But it's okay.
	Cause I'm on a COVID vacation Got the toilet paper I need Schools canceled all across the nation All thanks to COVID-19 Because all the social distancing It's just my smartphone and me Oh, It's the perfect vacation All thanks to COVID-19
	Restrictions in the interim Apply in cases pertinent To undermine the spreading virus All across the continent
	Changes in the Schengen's own, the countries all tend to their populations and the people lose their minds.
	COVID, Corona, deadly, stay home.
	Nothing's gonna save the world 3% it's getting worse Nothing's gonna save the world Temperatures will steady rise.
	The threat itself is existential.
	But can I still buy a hamster?
	Toilet paper retailers, they contemplate their rising stocks.
	The Purell trickles, pours and drops down from the shelf.
	COVID, Corona, daily sales.
	Nothing's gonna save the world.
	6% is getting worse.
	Nothing's gonna save the world.
	Six percent, it's getting worse.
