This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1230.
This is no agenda.
Immunizing cash and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here at 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 garbage trucks are out, they're working.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Oh yes, oh yes.
The true heroes on the front lines.
Sanitation workers is their official title.
Yeah.
Sanitation.
Sanitation.
Not garbage workers.
Or as we used to call them, G-men.
I think we can still call them G-men.
I don't call them G-men.
I never heard that.
Oh, my parents always called the garbage guys G-men.
G for garbage.
But they're also government, so it was G-men.
Huh.
And it's kind of funny in a spooky kind of way.
Yeah, it's...
For us.
It has implications of the FBI being the garbage men.
So, hey all you cool cats and kittens.
It's Carol Baskin here with Big Cat Rescue.
Have you been watching?
You know, so I started this.
Everybody, whatever that show's called.
It is becoming popular amongst the Twitter users.
It keeps cropping up.
And I got through most of the first episode, and I agree.
I think it's a great show.
It's very entertaining.
But it's tedious.
And these douchebags, there's only so much of them you can stand.
As you go through the episodes...
So I have the douchebag itch.
I got the douchebag itch.
I got the douchebag itch.
I couldn't do anything about it.
And so I stopped watching it.
Oh, okay.
Well, I understand.
I understand.
But if you hang in there, it gets better with every episode.
It just gets nuttier.
Hard to believe.
Everything good, though?
Everyone healthy?
Everyone fine?
Yeah.
Christina has a headache and sinus issues now.
But no cough, so we're hoping...
Well, it's not a...
It's a...
The symptoms, supposedly.
First of all, a lot of people lose their sense of smell.
Yes, she still has that.
Okay.
And then it's a lung infection, not a sinus infection.
So she sounds to me as though she has a headache in it.
That's what she says.
Daddy just got the sniffles.
Don't worry about it.
But they're terrorizing people in the Netherlands right now.
It's so horrible.
Why not?
Let's look at it from the perspective of the government.
What could be more fun?
Nothing.
In fact, I have several great examples of that.
But first, big changes afoot.
Something happened.
Something changed.
And it started Sunday right after our show.
Now notice if you can see the difference between the opening of President Trump's regular coronavirus briefing and the one he did Sunday.
I think this was in the Rose Garden.
I want to start today by highlighting several critical developments on both the testing and treatment that will help us win our war against the coronavirus.
What has changed there?
I don't know.
He's no longer saying the Chinese virus.
Oh.
He has stopped saying the Chinese virus after his phone call with President Xi.
This is very noticeable.
It was a bargaining chip.
Yes.
Well, I think the bargaining chip was already put out there, and I think that the aid, at least part of a deal, surfaced yesterday.
I'm going to remind everybody of something that just happened last week.
This is a quick recap clip from Sunday's show.
Today I'm here to talk about the former Maduro regime and its direct participation in narco-terrorism, corruption, money laundering, and drug trafficking.
As you will hear, the Department of Justice is announcing the unsealing of a superseding indictment filed in the Southern District of New York against four defendants, including Nicolas Madero, as well as the current head of Venezuela's Constituent as well as the current head of Venezuela's Constituent Assembly,
the former Director of Military Intelligence, and a former high-ranking general, So these were just three of the coveted sealed indictments that were superseding sealed indictments, which is indictment on steroids.
Well, that was very interesting that that just popped up and we played that and didn't think much about it.
And you wouldn't even have known until about...
Well, I didn't think much.
I thought much about it, personally.
You wouldn't have known until 30 minutes into yesterday's briefing how these things tied together.
Because yesterday, the Corona team came out.
But wait, it wasn't the Corona team!
It was the Secretary of Defense, it was Bill Barr, it was lots of admirals and generals and medals, and this was the opening of yesterday's coronavirus briefing.
Today the United States is launching...
Enhanced counter-narcotics operations.
Whenever you hear the word enhanced, you know it's really effed up.
It's like enhanced interrogation.
Enhanced anything is usually not good when the United States is doing it to you.
Enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Western Hemisphere to protect the American people from the deadly scourge of illegal narcotics.
Preach We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives.
In cooperation with the 22 partner nations, U.S. Southern Command will increase surveillance, disruption, and seizures of drug shipments and provide additional support for eradication efforts which are going on right now at a record pace.
We're deploying additional Navy destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, Coast Guard cutters, and Air Force surveillance aircraft, doubling our capabilities in the region.
Secretary Mark Esper, Attorney General Bill Barr, National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien will provide more details.
In addition, I'm going to have General Milley, who's done an incredible job in so many ways, So it's still kind of unclear what we're doing, but then a map goes up and the Secretary of Defense comes up to speak, Mark Esper.
Well, thank you, Mr.
President, and good afternoon, everyone.
I appreciate the opportunity to be here today as we make this very important announcement.
At a time when the nation and the Department of Defense are focused on protecting the American people from the spread of the coronavirus, we also remain vigilant to the many other threats our country faces.
Today, at the President's direction, the Department of Defense, in close cooperation with our interagency partners, began enhanced counter-narcotics operations in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
This initiative is part of the administration's whole-of-government approach to combating the flow of illicit drugs into the United States and protecting the American people from their scourge.
So I love saying the, what was it exactly?
The East Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
Yeah.
Then they showed the map and there's all these naval ships right to the north of Venezuela.
We're taking over Venezuela.
We're going to arrest everybody while everyone else is looking the other way.
They just put it out there.
Never even mention Venezuela in this.
It's all Venezuela.
They're going to arrest him.
And we know Guaido was set up in the State of the Union with, oh, there's a legitimate president, which he's not.
This is pretty brazen.
And I think Trump got permission from Xi, said, hey, we're coming in, we're going to do this, back off.
And maybe it's also to stop some fentanyl trafficking.
They're all over the place.
22 nations participating in this?
The Eastern Pacific, mentioning that specifically, is the Pentagon.
Yes, exactly.
So, um...
Well, let's see what happens.
They're all off to the coast of...
It's going to be enhanced, that's all I know.
Enhanced.
Now, this will give the Q boys and girls a lot of extra fodder.
Because, of course, the ships make...
It looks like they're off Venezuela, but really, they're right near the Caribbean.
They're right in the little St.
James Island or whatever.
So who knows exactly what's happening?
But I thought it was really interesting that that just popped up and they went off and then the coronavirus briefing continued.
It was really quite spectacular.
Well, we'll see.
I agree.
I think they're going to...
I don't know.
I mean, it's a good time to do it.
Yeah.
And it's enhanced.
It's enhanced.
You have to have enhanced.
I want to run into the update.
This is the lengthy but interesting NBC News Corona update, keeping this up.
This is from yesterday, I think.
Tonight, FEMA is bringing in hundreds of ambulances to help with record-breaking 911 calls in New York.
And more temporary hospitals are opening as the city wages war on the virus.
From this naval hospital ship to tents in Central Park to this massive convention center.
And now authorities are planning to retrofit this tennis stadium, the site of the U.S. Open.
The current capacity maxed out.
We project the potential at all of those beds.
All 20,000 will have to be turned into intensive care beds to focus on COVID-19 patients who are really, really sick.
That gives you a sense of just how abnormal it could be.
The tri-state region now topping 90,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and more than 1,500 deaths.
Today, 15% of the NYPD called out sick.
Overnight, the Empire State Building pulsed red to honor medical workers as more heart-wrenching stories pour in.
It's an organized chaos.
Alyssa Pagari, an ER nurse in New Jersey, is overwhelmed and seeing more of her colleagues get sick.
There's no time to grieve and there's no time to think about that because you just have to keep going and you have to keep taking care of patients coming in.
Eric Blüdinger is an ER doctor in Queens.
I just got out of my 10-hour shift and it feels like playing dominoes every single minute over 10 hours straight.
Feeling like any one of your patients is about to fall and collapse.
And today, the virus hit home for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
His brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, tested positive.
The governor now says there's a lesson here for all families about keeping their distance.
Two weeks ago...
My mother was at his house.
And I said, that is a mistake.
So many families now waiting for word about their loved ones from a distance.
He's very, very sick.
I mean, he still has pneumonia in his lungs.
His kidneys have failed as a result of all the stress on his body.
Amy Breslow's husband tested positive and is now intubated.
She drove him to the hospital but wasn't allowed to stay.
Now she's pleading for plasma donors for an experimental treatment.
I know he knows that I love him whether I say it or not, but saying it is so important too.
In just one six-hour stretch, New York City saw an average of one coronavirus death every three minutes.
You know, this whole fear scam, because I think that is definitely a scam, is all in the numbers.
It's all in this data, which I do want to talk about.
But just hearing this, I believe it is important for Brian Williams to remind us what the media's job is.
Our job tonight actually is to scare people to death.
And he's doing a fine job of it.
Well, the thing is that these numbers, like, for example, in a – not continuously, but in a small period of time, they were having one death every three minutes.
Right.
And it wasn't like – I suppose you could – you have one death every – You know how many people die every second?
In the United States, we have 7,500 people dying a day.
Every day, yes.
And that's one every 12 seconds.
So this isn't even getting to the pace of the just everyday dropping dead.
Well, I'd like to address the hospital numbers first, because now there's even a Twitter trend now.
People are going to their local hospital, filming, saying, hey, where's all the panic?
You know, getting in, just seeing that there's not as much panic as perhaps is perceived.
Yeah.
And if you look back at 2018, I have a whole bunch of articles.
I've put them in the show notes, nashownotes.com.
I'll just read the publication and the headline, Time Magazine, Hospitals Overwhelmed by Flu Patients Are Treating Them Intense.
Los Angeles Times.
California hospitals face a war zone of flu patients and are setting up tents to treat them.
Remember, this was just for the flu.
Overwhelmed by flu cases.
Some ERs turn ambulances away.
CBS News.
Widespread flu overwhelming hospitals and doctor's offices throughout Louisiana.
AP. Flu season overwhelming hospitals.
Flu epidemic is overwhelming California ERs as death toll.
That's all 2018 flu.
So, you know, the supply chain just in time, what is it, the 6-6 blue system, that's obviously just been maintained and has not ever been really jacked up to deal with any kind of crisis of this magnitude.
And then you go to the Twitter brigade who are out on the streets.
I thought this one was pretty funny.
This guy is walking around.
He can't see it.
I think he's in Brooklyn.
And he can't see any panic.
There's, you know, just very quiet.
Nothing going on.
There's a couple of street vendors have set up selling, you know, selling food on the street.
And those guys, now they know what's going on.
So you guys set up here all the time.
Yeah, we're going to have five years waiting for this shit happening.
So there's not like all these just ambulances bringing people in just left and right.
It's a...
Something ain't right, man.
Something ain't right.
Yeah, New World Order is what they're trying to put out, man.
They're gonna reset the currency, man.
Thursday, the feds introduce this new digital money.
They want us like China.
They put this fucking thing in you.
You walk in the store, grab whatever it is, working with this 5G right here above you.
So these guys have it all.
It's like, it's New World Order, it's one currency, digital money.
And they're going to know 5G.
They want to cancel this society.
And then with that, man, they're going to control everybody.
You know, what if your brother or your nephew want to borrow 100 bucks or 20 bucks?
How would you better get to him when this fucking thing and everything is digital?
I don't know, man.
You're going to have to know his fucking situation.
Man, come on, man.
Every nation is agreeing on this.
They're going for one world auto, man.
You know, the Antichrist is going to return.
He's got all of it in there.
He's paid very good attention.
So we're just not seeing that kind of panic that is being portrayed, certainly with the numbers.
Again, it's all these numbers about masks and ventilators.
I've got a lot of detailed information.
Our producers are really fantastic.
First of all, I've learned something very important about the ventilators.
This is from one of our producers.
All of them need to remain anonymous, of course.
There are certainly patients who have COVID who are sick enough to require a breathing machine, but the main reason for increased demand, not discussed in the media, is we are putting these patients on ventilators when we normally would not.
We played a clip from the NYC doctor on show 1229 who mentioned the aerosolization of the virus.
The virus is not normally airborne, but if some of the droplets that contain the virus are small enough, it can linger in the air, as your New York City doctor described.
Some medical procedures increase aerosolization or droplets.
We learned this from SARS, CPAP, and BiPAP machines.
Nebulize medications like kids would get when they have an asthma attack all aerosolized bacteria and viruses into finer droplets.
So the point is...
The reason they need a lot of respirators or ventilators is to keep the hospitals clean and the hospital staff safe.
People who actually really need ventilators go straight to intubation.
So typically those people would first get a respirator or ventilator.
Then if it got bad, they would go on intubation.
Now, when they have actual sick people, in order to maintain the virus inside their breathing system with the ventilator, which has filters and kind of a closed system in that regard, that's why they claim they need so many.
So that kind of solves part of the issue of, well, we don't really have that many sick people, but we need a lot of ventilators.
And another piece of data is that, you know, GM had to be threatened under the Defense Production Act to start making ventilators.
You heard about this?
Yeah.
Well, turns out, this was only about price.
Yeah, that's what Trump said.
He implied.
And the reason why is GM Ford's sister corporation actually makes ventilators.
So they have them.
They have actual ventilators.
Denso is the name of the company.
It's owned by who?
It's a sister...
It's a GM subsidiary.
Huh.
So they were totally being douchebags and just holding out for a better price.
Oh, that...
It's the American way.
It's not surprising, but you don't get this kind of information.
You don't hear about it.
Everything's so brief.
Just pass light over everything.
I got a guy who contacted me.
It was a major trucker.
And he was talking about...
Because here we're supposedly going to turn Moscone Center into a hospital, and they're going to move the homeless into the Hyatt Regency and all the high-end hotels.
But he's saying, based on what's been going on, is that they may not be doing any of this, because I think the hotels are saying no, because who needs it?
Because he just made a huge delivery of Bob Barker mattresses, which is Bob Barker, I don't know if it's the same Bob Barker who is the showman, but it's the largest company that delivers for incarceration operations.
It's the number one supplier, you can look it up, of beds, mattresses, and things for jails.
Mm-hmm.
So they made a delivery of a huge amount of these mattresses to the Moscone Center.
And supposedly for the homeless.
They're going to move the homeless in there and put them on jail bedding for prisons.
And I was thinking about this because I just got this note.
And he's got pictures of the boxes and boxes full of these mattresses from Bob Barker.
And I'm thinking, look, this is probably, I'm guessing, that a prison mattress is probably one of the most heavy-duty things you could possibly imagine, you know, made out of just solid, you know, smashed cotton or who knows what, because they probably have to take a beating, and...
It would be probably so much cheaper just to employ Casper or the MyPillow guy or one of these characters who make this foam crap, which is cranked out by the millions.
There's a chunk of foam that they've talked the public into sleeping on.
Just throw this foam in there.
I bet you it's costing a mint for these mattresses.
There's no question in my mind about it.
And then there's still prison mattresses.
Anyway, there's a lot of stuff going on that's not being reported very well.
Let's talk about the data, because there's something not being disclosed which is extremely irritating, and I think it's borderline dangerous.
But first, let's look at the elites.
And how they're acting.
And when I talk about the elites, I'm looking at the World Health Organization in particular.
Tedros, now this is the Ethiopian who was Minister of Health in Ethiopia, which I think is a socialist government, and his entire campaign to become the director of the World Health Organization was financially supported by China, by the CCP. And this guy is pretty clearly on the side of China with everything.
Just to give you an idea of where this guy's head is at, he truly thinks he is running the whole global operation.
And he came on yesterday, and oh, it's 5 o'clock, and oh, there it is, Tedros.
He's speaking from World Health Organization headquarters.
Listen up, everybody.
He's in charge.
Good afternoon and good evening wherever you are.
As we enter the fourth month since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I'm deeply concerned about the rapid escalation and global spread of infection.
Over the past five weeks, We have witnessed a near exponential growth in the number of new cases, reaching almost every country, territory and area.
The number of deaths has more than doubled in the past week.
In the next few days, We will reach 1 million confirmed cases and 50,000 DEZ. I like how he says DEZ. He's DEZ. Many countries are asking people to stay at home and shutting down population movement,
which can help to limit transmission of the virus, but can have unintended consequences for the poorest and most vulnerable people.
I have called on governments to put in place social welfare measures to ensure vulnerable people have food and other life essentials during this crisis.
So instead of saying, hey, looks like everyone's doing something for their people, this guy says, I have called!
I have called on governments, not world leaders, not presidents, prime ministers.
I have called on governments beneath us to do as we say, give your slaves some money.
So they have no des.
And he spoke about exponential this and exponential that, which is very reminiscent of our own Mr.
Exponential, who loves dropping the magic number.
Well, let's say you have 100 cases, and let's say you don't do a shutdown, then it grows 33% per day.
So you take 100, you get 1,000, you get 10,000.
It's exponential growth.
So that's Bill Gates, who's been everywhere and with good reason, because he's very tied into this.
The Gates Foundation is a big financial supporter of the World Health Organization, one of the biggest ones besides the United States.
And it looks like we're now getting into the nitty-gritty of the models.
We're talking about the numbers.
We're talking about how it's presented to people.
And his...
Well, you're going to find out.
The Cheshire Cat revealed himself on the previous show, and he was smiling at the mention of...
Anthony Fauci, who is the resident doctor who is being trusted with all of this data, and he was on Jake Tapper CNN discussing the models.
How many cases do you think the U.S. will reach?
A million cases?
Ten million cases?
Or do we not even have any idea?
You know, Jake, to be honest with you, we don't really have any firm idea.
There are things called models.
Models.
And when someone creates a model, they put in various assumptions.
And the model is only as good and as accurate as your assumptions.
And whenever the model is come in, they give a worst case scenario and a best case scenario.
Generally, the reality is somewhere in the middle.
I've never seen a model of the diseases that I've dealt with, which the worst case scenario actually came out.
They always overshoot.
So when you use numbers like a million, a million and a half, two million, that almost certainly is off the chart.
Now, it's not impossible, but very, very unlikely.
So it's difficult to present.
I mean, looking at what we're seeing now, you know, I would say between 100 and 200,000 cases, but I don't want to be held to that.
Because it's, excuse me, deaths.
I mean, we're going to have millions of cases, but I just don't think that we really need to make a projection when it's such a moving target that you can so easily be wrong and mislead people.
What we do know, Jake, is that we've got a serious problem in New York.
We have a serious problem in New Orleans, and we're going to be developing serious problems in other areas.
So although people like to model it, let's just look at the data of what we have and not worry about these worst case and best case scenarios.
This is a soft pedal for a change that was made in the data that is not being disclosed or discussed, and it is what the president is following and making decisions upon, according to Dr.
Birx.
Look, we know it is a hard pill to swallow, so to speak, for the economy.
But to save lives, we have to continue this lockdown.
Are you confident he would listen to that advice and take that advice?
I am confident that the president has listened to and seen all of our data as it evolves.
I think you can see that the president over these three weeks has been very focused on what the American people need.
Both economically and public health-wise.
And I think it's incumbent on every public health official to be looking at their data in a very granular way to understand who's at risk, who's at risk of hospitalization, who's at risk of mortality, how do we stop the spread, and really move to a 21st century supercomputering approach rather than a more generic slide rule-based approach.
I love the, oh, we're doing supercomputers instead of slide rules.
Okay, fine, Birx.
But here's the problem.
The data is now from the so-called Chris Murray model.
We went from the imperial model, which was completely debunked, had to be retracted, downgraded by a factor of 25.
This was the Neil Ferguson model.
And that fell apart.
And overnight, almost, it went from the 2 million deaths in the United States to 200,000.
But it was discredited, so they had to move to a different data source.
Who is Christopher Murray, who created this model?
Christopher Murray heads up the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
The Health Metrics and Evaluation.
Previously, he served as the director of the Harvard Initiative for Global Health and as executive director of the Evidence and Information for Policy Cluster at the World Health Organization.
Oh, isn't that convenient?
He comes from the same nest.
And he's also...
A Rhodes Scholar.
So that just tells you about Christopher Murray.
What is the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation?
They do one thing.
They retrieve information from hospitals and doctors.
They compile that and then create models.
That's all they do.
Founded in 2007 with a $105 million investment, an additional $250 million investment in 2019, there's only one investor, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
So we've switched from the imperial model to a Gates Foundation model and data model.
And there's no disclosure on this.
It's healthdata.org.
They don't explain where they get the data from.
Well, they say it comes from hospitals.
There's no understanding of the raw data.
There's no publishing of it.
So we've been hijacked now by the World Health Organization, the Gates Foundation, any other dickhead that's in there.
And that's why Gates was laughing at the mention of Fauci, because Fauci shepherded the new data guys right in.
Right into us.
Okay, here we go.
Now, just accept this.
And Gates has odd ideas, man.
These are the vaccine guys.
I was talking to Mimi about this the other night, and she had some notice Gates saying some crazy lunatic thing.
And I mentioned to her, her ex-husband, her first husband, has Parkinson's.
And Gates supposedly, at least...
at least a number of years ago, announced that he had Parkinson's.
And she talks about, and it's well documented in the, if you read about Parkinson's, that it does cause some mental issues, not necessarily the kind you'd think.
But she's always saying, you know, he's reminding me of Alan, who occasionally just says some of the screwball, the most screwball stuff that she just shakes her head at.
She doesn't even know what to make of it.
And I'm getting this sense that, because Gates is not showing to me I see no evidence that Bill Gates has Parkinson's.
He doesn't have any shakes.
No, none of it.
None of it.
He may have some appearance issues because you start to change your look, starts to change a little bit.
But maybe there's something else going on here and it may be affecting his analysis capabilities.
Well...
Regardless, I think that it should be disclosed that the information flow has changed and where it's coming from.
I think that's really important because Anthony Fauci has numerous trials, vaccine trials, running through his NIAD. That's his outfit.
And that's with the Gates Foundation.
Bill Gates, who just recently did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit, and said the only way to track this properly is to give everyone who's had the vaccination a nano dot tattoo that has a chip in it.
So, you know, and this kind of brings me to, you know, I did some work and I wrote down and I wrote out the four main theories that are out there.
And I think it's important to maybe just do that now as we go through them, because we need to operate from a lot of these assumptions.
And none of them are mutually exclusive, which is very interesting.
First we have the narrative.
The narrative is a bat got the virus from a pig and it was sold live on a wet market to a woman who then took a dump in a bathroom stall and then some lady sat on the toilet and she got it.
This is literally what the narrative is now.
And then through, you know, plain old viral transmission, it eventually wound up all over the world.
Am I missing anything on that basic narrative?
Well, the narrative, the one I understood was that the bats are a natural, and we've played clips about this, a natural harbor for COVID variations.
And it's just, you're going to be selling them as food.
To the Chinese, some viruses will make the jump to humans, the next thing you know we're in trouble.
Right, right.
I don't need to butt the woman crapping and all the rest of it.
No, no, she's patient zero now.
There's lots of stuff about patient zero.
Yeah, they have not found a genuine patient.
No, of course not, but this is what we're all led to believe.
So that's the basic story.
So we have four theories.
I'm going to start with the 5G theory because I've ignored it so long and I finally dove into it.
I've ignored it completely and I'm the 5G guy.
You are the 5G guy.
So the 5G theory goes, and I have an actual professor who speaks about this, Professor Dr.
Thomas Cohen.
And his thesis, and it's a very long video, so I took a much shorter clip, just under two minutes, but his basic thesis is, what is happening is not a virus, but there's something changing within the molecular structure of human beings that it is trying to get poison out,
and so you're excreting whatever it is, and that is then thus mistaken for a virus, but it really comes from something completely different, Which is a change in the entire global electromagnetosphere.
So something changed with the electrical pulses that surround the entire globe.
You know, that's obviously from TV to telephone to radio to Wi-Fi and radar, satellites, all this stuff.
And he backs up this theory by...
Taking the timeline of huge pandemic events and changes in the electromagnetic field around the Earth.
This is, again, Professor Dr.
Thomas Cohen.
Do you have a question?
Wow!
Yes, it's good.
It's good.
You like it.
So what happened in 1918?
There was a huge...
In every pandemic in the last 150 years, there was a quantum leap...
In the electrification of the earth in 1918 late late fall of 1917 there was the introduction of radio waves around the world whenever you expose any biological system to a new electromagnetic field You poison it, you kill some, and the rest go into a kind of suspended animation, so that interestingly, they live a little bit longer and sicker.
And then starts in World War II with the next pandemic, with the introduction of radar equipment all over the Earth.
Blanketing the entire Earth in radar fields.
First time humans have ever been exposed to that.
In 1968, there was the Hong Kong flu, and it was the first time the Earth has a protective layer in the Van Allen belt, which essentially integrates the cosmic...
We have fields from the Sun and the Earth, from the Moon and Jupiter, etc., integrates that and essentially distributes that to the living beings of the Earth, and we put satellites emitting radioactive frequencies in the Van Allen Belt.
Within six months, we had a new viral pandemic.
Why viral?
Because the people are poisoned.
They excrete toxins.
They look like viruses.
People think it's a flu epidemic.
In the 1918 epidemic, the Boston Health Department decided to investigate the contagiousness of this.
So they, believe it or not, took hundreds of people with the flu and they sucked the snot out of their nose and injected it into the healthy people who didn't have the flu.
And not one time could they make the next person sick.
There you go.
The 5G conspiracy in a nutshell.
Well, you know, it falls apart.
The problem is, I like his timing.
And there are coincident things that happen.
You know, you have the radio and then you have the flu.
But the Van Allen Belt thing, we have no satellites in the Van Allen Belt area.
That's way out there.
Our satellites are barely off the earth by comparison.
This is nuts.
This guy is full of crap because of that one moment.
And of course, now 5G is to blame, and you can take the swine flu.
That was probably the rollout of 4G. The timing fits, I guess.
If this were true, I would immediately blame Elon Musk for his Starlink that is just sweeping across the sky, beaming God knows what on us.
But I agree, this is pretty iffy.
But that's the first theory.
The second theory is David Icke's theory, and he has an outstanding video on this.
It's an hour and a half typical Icke video, very long.
And his theory...
His idea is to hypnotize you in the first 45 minutes, and then you'll believe anything.
I'm in, David, I'm in!
So his idea is there is no coronavirus.
Well, there is a coronavirus.
There's lots of coronaviruses, but there's no COVID-19.
This is a simple sleight of hand being done with the data.
And his assertion, which I've not been able to confirm 100%, but I know we have enough producers out there who will be able to help us, Is that the current testing, the quick, rapid testing that is being deployed massively is PCR. And PCR testing, not only does it not show different strains, but it does not even differentiate amongst different types of coronavirus.
It shows up as just, yup, you've got coronavirus.
Doesn't mean you have the SARS coronavirus-2 virus.
It just means you have a coronavirus, which can also be a sniffle.
It can be a cold.
Dr.
Burke said something, and maybe I'm misinterpreting it, but I think that she is admitting this in this following clip.
I think that is the question that we're all looking at very carefully now.
So we're coming from models.
Again, I said we've never really confronted this type of epidemic before that hit during a flu season to really be able to dissect out what was flu, what was COVID, and really understand who was at risk and how they were at risk.
And so we're getting critical information now from all of the front lines.
Yeah, I just don't hear any criticism of the testing.
Interesting.
Why don't you play, I have a clip of a woman from Yonkers, taken from an NBC feed in New York, that kind of, maybe this explains it.
New at 5 o'clock, a cautionary tale from a woman in our area who says the virus could be active in your system longer than you think.
Investigative reporter Dan Krauth on the West Side tonight with her powerful message.
Dan Krauth.
Joe, we can learn a lot from this woman's experience.
She followed all the rules, all the federal guidelines, only to find out by accident that she could still be contagious.
For this teacher and mother from Yonkers, the last month has felt like a year.
It's like a science fiction movie.
On March 6th, Julie Thayer woke up with flu-like symptoms and tested positive for COVID-19.
I spiked a fever of 102.7 and it started with the cough and that triggered my asthma.
She's self-isolated at home for weeks.
You just feel lucky that you were one of the survivors.
As miserable as I was, as sick as I was, I was not on a ventilator.
The CDC guidelines recommend anyone who tests positive to remain in isolation for at least seven days since symptoms first appeared, and at least three days since recovery.
Thaler says she tripled that recommendation and stayed isolated for 21 days.
I met all those criteria.
So I went out into the world.
And luckily my first trip to the world was to give blood.
The antibodies in her plasma could be used to help critically ill COVID-19 patients.
They took her blood along with a second test.
I thought I was free.
But in reality you were not.
But in reality I was not.
She tested positive.
Again, that was three weeks after her initial symptoms.
The truth is that the virus lives in your body a lot longer than we think.
She says she received mixed messages depending on who she talked to.
They apologized and they said, you know, this is new for us.
We're not really sure.
That's frightening to me.
Oh, I love how they put this together like a frickin' Radiolab episode.
Stuck our answers in every supposition and preposition that they could do.
It's like, come on, come on.
But the David Icke theory...
Is probably the simplest of all of them, and really I think the most likely, but I have two more to go.
Let me just go through this.
So he says, this is all a sleight of hand.
It's being done with data.
I have a tremendous problem with the data, where it's coming from, how it's being presented.
But let's just say there is no way to define between...
Someone who has developed COVID-19, the disease based upon a coronavirus, and someone who has influenza, which can also detect as coronavirus in your system.
In fact, we can have coronaviruses in our system at any moment and not have any...
We have lots of viruses and stuff going around in us.
So, that's why we're seeing this as a regular normal flu death count, because that's what it is.
Data misrepresentation is being used to show the problem.
Of course, we have the reaction, which is David Icke's thing, problem, reaction, solution.
We have the media to jack everybody up and make everybody afraid.
And the solution is back to the people who clearly are in charge of the data, which is the vaccine guys and gals.
And this is Fauci, NIAD, the Bill Gates Foundation, World Health Organization, whatever else.
The goal is vaccines, tracking, and ultimately this will be used for climate change mitigation.
And I think David Icke has some very good points.
Again, these are not all mutually exclusive because no matter where this came from, people are going to take advantage of it.
So whether Gates and those guys created it or jumped in to make the most of it is unclear.
Then the most colorful of all, this would be the Q theory.
The Q theory.
Oh, actually, just to wind up David Ikes, here's Project Veritas released a new video this morning where, what's the guy's name, James O'Keefe?
He went to a drive-thru testing and there was National Guard, did you see this, National Guard?
Yeah, I was out a couple days ago, actually.
Okay, well, let's just play this opening clip.
What about the situation itself?
Is it as bad as the media is saying, the whole pandemic?
Oh, no.
It's just the flu.
It's just the flu?
It's the flu.
That's all it is?
It's the flu.
Wow.
Is the media accurately reporting, or is it as bad as people are saying?
No.
It's not as bad as the...
The media is making it out bigger.
Wow.
Wow.
Just be precautious.
Yep.
All right.
And it's not as bad as the media is saying.
I'm hearing you.
You're doing everything.
Yeah.
And I'm not getting sick.
I'm good.
Wow.
Oh, sorry about that.
It's amazing how Veritas can't even get good audio when it's not even hidden.
It's unbelievable.
It's horrible.
The whole thing.
I got one more clip I want to play before you finish this.
Because this also kind of plays in the idea that maybe this is just...
Testing issues and some other data problems and all the rest of it because Fauci's actually already covered his ass for the next go-round of this next year, it seems to me, if you play this corona immunity clip.
Oh yes.
The leading infectious disease expert on President Trump's Coronavirus Task Force says he's really confident that those who are infected and then recover from COVID-19 can build up an immunity to it.
Dr.
Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, appeared remotely on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah when he was asked about the possibility of reinfection from coronavirus.
If this virus acts like every other virus that we know, once you get infected, Get better, clear the virus, that you'll have immunity that will protect you against reinfection.
On NOAA's show, which is practicing social distancing and being filmed remotely, Dr.
Fauci cautioned that his take is not 100% given because the full study had not taken place yet.
Still, the infectious diseases expert seems certain.
So it's never 100%, but I'd be willing to bet anything that people who recover are really protected against reinfection.
Business Insider reports that blood tests have been carried out by Chinese health officials showing that antibodies have been developed to fight off the virus, which is an indication that the person tested contracted COVID-19 despite showing little or no symptoms.
Matt Freeman, a researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, told NPR that it's very likely that those who recover from coronavirus develop at least some level of immunity to it, and that even if reinfected later on, the effects of the disease would be much less.
Yes, that is a good data point to have.
So, those kind of slips in with just what we're seeing in normal thinking.
But for this, the Q theory, which has, especially now with this enhanced naval counter-drug enforcement mission, etc., I think the Q boys and girls are going to be very jacked up.
I think we should put them on for a second.
Get your glasses.
Get your glasses.
Here we go.
Hey!
They're on.
You got it on?
Yeah, I'm waiting.
Alright.
So, I'm just going to go through a paragraph that I wrote down that'll explain the basic theory.
There's no need to stop me halfway.
Q turns out to actually be John F. Kennedy Jr., who went undercover when the deep state took over.
This, of course, is when Hillary Clinton tried to have him killed as she became the senator of New York, which was supposed to be JFK Jr.
And JFK Jr.
has been patiently awaiting revenge on the elites for killing his dad.
Of course, this makes total sense with the Bob Dylan song released about JFK being killed by the Timberwolf.
So the elites, who as we know, eat babies, have pizza parties, they all party with Epstein and Weinstein, but most importantly, the elites in the world, I'm looking at you, Hollywood politicians, rich people, Not only do they abuse children, they take adrenochrome, which is extracted from children who are first put into a state of distress that releases compounds like adrenaline into their blood, and then they take this.
So in order to track the elites to unseal the thousands of sealed indictments around the world, A tainted batch of adrenochrome was circulated amongst a list of elites that they got from Harvey Weinstein, who gave them up in return for sentence reduction or disappearing him perhaps through a coronavirus death.
So the shutdown of the world is so that Trump, Barr, the military, the white hats all over the world can arrest the over 160,000 people worldwide, stopping this scourge of killing babies.
Where we go one, where we go all!
I think we should take them off right now.
Yeah, this theory was floating around.
I paid little attention to it.
But there's some novel writers out there that should be actually doing some serious work and providing some compliments to Hollywood producers.
Because it's really very creative.
I like the way they slipped everything in.
And it seeps so far.
I think you made the point with the guy with the guys on the street earlier who are starting to listen to, you know, did you hear this stuff?
All of the 5G stuff, the New World Order, the digital money all in on it.
And now there must have been there's something else going on, which resulted in this clip, which is the rail engineer who tried to ram the USS Mercy with a locomotive.
It began with breaking news.
Just coming in this afternoon, a bizarre story here.
A train engineer at the Port of Los Angeles has been arrested on suspicion of intentionally crashing a locomotive near the Navy hospital ship Mercy.
Federal prosecutors say the train engineer claimed the ship has an alternate purpose for being docked there, possibly a government takeover.
Eduardo Moreno of San Pedro allegedly ran the train at full speed off the end of the railroad tracks yesterday in an apparent attempt to damage the ship.
The Mercy, which was not damaged, it's docked here in L.A. to help ease the burden on local hospitals that are busy with coronavirus patients.
I love that story.
Now the thing I love this story, too.
Wait, wait, wait.
I can't believe I'm missing this.
We finally have a fantastic opportunity to play it.
All aboard!
Trains good!
Planes bad!
Woo-hoo!
Ship's bad.
So my wife says, I said, what is this guy's nuts...
The ship is there for a government takeover?
And I'm thinking, a government takeover of what?
The government?
The government's already taken over the government.
What, is this a different government?
Well, we don't actually know what the guy said.
The guy probably said, you know, they're trying to save the elites by putting them on the ship and taking them away to safety.
That would be something that a queuer would say, you know?
Well, whatever he said, we don't know for sure because we don't have a tape of it, but this is getting nuts.
And all of these theories, you could make them fit.
You can make every single one of them fit, which is the nice thing about it.
And they're also, as I said, not mutually exclusive.
You can use pieces of one for the other.
Yeah.
I have to say, when I hear 22 countries and they're surrounding Venezuela and the Caribbean islands and the west coast of South America, you know, it's like, well, who knows what's going on?
But then the fourth and final one, which has pieces of R's, I call this the booby trap theory.
And this has been pieced together with a lot of help from some people, military intelligence, although no one has claimed this to be the way that's happened, but there are new stories to back up the individual events, at least placing people in places with certain jobs, doing something, whether it comes down to the way the theory runs or not, I don't know.
So let's do the booby-trap theory.
Initially, Iran contracted with a Swiss biochemist to create a bioweapon that could be used against the Saudis.
It's totally believable.
The Israeli Mossad caught wind of this, and they swapped the weapon out for a SARS version, That would not transmit easily.
Would kill, would be deadly, would be lethal, but would not transmit easily.
So that wound up with Saudi Arabia.
Once they had that, they sent it to a Dutch lab for testing.
The Dutch then sent a sample to Winnipeg to their bioweapons lab to find out what this virus was.
That's where the Chinese stole the sample.
We have lots of people from the PLA, the People's Liberation Army, going back and forth from China and Winnipeg and all these different labs, stole the sample and brought it to their own biolab in Wuhan.
Now, as the back story to this, which is, of course, I have no proof of this, The Chinese apparently have been working on a biological first strike since 2005 with the idea to be cripple key places and basically do a soft invasion.
And they plan to use a bat SARS, a bat-based SARS, to be transmitted through water infrastructure.
It doesn't transmit like the flu.
It really has to be through plumbing, water, feces, that kind of direct contact.
So China was so desperate because of trade sanctions, their internal economy, they decided the best thing to do was probably deploy their bioweapon.
And this got back to military intelligence in the USA. That's when Fort Detrick created a mirror image of the virus the Chinese had, which was already modified by the Israelis.
And they now made it into two strains.
Yeah, I'm just giving you the full load.
Yeah, yeah, go on.
So they came up with the two strains idea, the L strain, which is lethal, that would go in the water, it transfers through plumbing and excrement.
And the S strain, which is the airborne inoculation strain.
The concept being that you spread the L strain in the direct area you're targeting, and then you blanket everything with the S strain so people quickly can spread out a very mild version that inoculates you from the L strain.
And that L strain is what they call an ancient coronavirus, so it's been around for a long time.
And apparently this modified version might have had some other features that would render any Chinese countermeasure useless.
This version was then inserted into the lab at Wuhan.
This is where probably another professor transferring this stuff.
We have so many arrests coming in and going out of the United States of Chinese bio-researchers with undocumented viruses they're carrying with them.
We have arrest records, everything.
I've read the documents, man!
So then the booby trap deploys, which, you know, that's what we kind of surmise, is this thing blew open, kind of like you stole something from the clothing store.
You try to get the tag off, it blows up with ink all over you.
In this case, it spread in Wuhan.
So in a last-ditch effort, because they saw that some of it was the real dangerous virus, which is absolutely killing people, specifically in Wuhan, in places where people have very poor hygiene.
So they decided, the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party, sent out carriers of the strains to the U.S. in Europe and hoped that they would have a head start and could play the hero to upstage the U.S. once everything was over.
And you'll notice there's no cases in Africa, no cases in South America.
Well, South America is their drug supply route.
They don't want to mess that up.
Africa is their bread and butter.
They don't want to mess that up.
So nothing was sent that way.
No L-strain lethal virus.
And then, of course, they started blaming the U.S. from within the U.S.'s very own media.
And eventually they figured out that the S-strain could inoculate people, and that's what they were spraying all over the city of Wuhan to get everybody exposed to the inoculation virus and be able to...
Hide all the people who died early on from the L strain.
Which could explain some of these hot spots where people went directly from Wuhan to New York, went directly from Wuhan to Northern Italy.
Spain actually was before Northern Italy.
And where we're at now is we basically, the U.S. is trying to track people who have the L strain, but you don't have to worry too much because if someone has it, they will probably be very sick, maybe make it, they might not.
But it's not transmissible through the same methods as what we're basically seeing everywhere else, which is now one of the eight strains that are available.
So that's kind of the bioweapon version of what happened.
And it could have been pieces of all of them except for the Q thing that's a little tough.
I don't know about the 5G. I'm sure electromagnetic waves don't help anything.
So I'm sure it didn't make it better, but I think we're somewhere between the Ike theory and the booby trap.
But ultimately, I just don't see the actual danger in the numbers as presented, and nor should anybody else.
Well, it's definitely an issue.
They, uh...
The reason I'm stalling here is because I can look down the hill and I can see these workers down by the tracks.
Doing something screwy.
Yeah, they're setting up 5G towers.
It's being reported everywhere.
While you're looking at that, I'll give you...
Here's a little update on the models from Dr.
Birx, who explains what we're really looking at at this moment in time.
So the cases you're seeing right now hospitalized, and this is a very important point for the American public.
What we're seeing in the hospitals now are people who most likely got exposed and sick.
More than two weeks ago.
So you're seeing what was occurring two and three weeks ago.
So the things we have put in place over the last eight days and what the mayor and governor has done over the last seven days, you won't see the impact of that for at least another seven or 14 days.
And that's why you can't always just look at the hospital rates to determine whether you're having an impact epidemiologically.
So, again, these numbers that we're seeing, which are all cumulative, the charts you see are cumulative.
They just add it up.
Oh, my God, it's adding up, instead of how many deaths per day, how many cases per day.
And it's still well under the typical influenza outbreak levels.
Yes, which is...
I mean, they have numbers on influenza for this since January that are higher than this.
It's very disconcerting.
It's...
There should be some leveling off, it seems to me, with this stay-at-home, and by the way, podcasters in most of these areas that have a stay-at-home order, we're part of media outlets.
Essential personnel.
We are exempt.
Yes.
So you can go out and float around.
So we had our Zoom video date with the former New York banker and his wife Sunday after the show.
Yes, please tell us more about the Zoom video date.
I found out we were not their first Zoom video date.
I was somewhat insulted, but okay.
Oh, that's terrible.
You weren't their first.
I felt a little disappointed by that.
Actually, I have to say, it was not a bad experience.
Why would it be a bad experience?
It's like, you know, once in a while you put somebody on the phone at dinner, and then...
It's not a bad experience.
It's just dumb.
No, it's not dumb.
It would have been better if they were there.
It would have been better if they were there, but I think we had like an hour and a half, and we were drinking and chatting, and it was quite enjoyable, and I learned some things.
First of all, it is important to know that New York is empty.
I mean, there's only, I think, a million point seven people who live there full time, actually live in Manhattan.
Now, that's Manhattan.
That's not all New York.
But they said everybody is gone.
Everyone left.
The buildings are empty.
This has just got to be the poor schlubs who couldn't go to the Hamptons, anywhere on Long Island or Connecticut.
So there's going to be a limit as to how many people can get sick, period, because the city is empty.
But what was super exciting to learn is...
That the bailout, let's call it, it's not a bailout, the stimulus money, the $2.2 trillion that partially people will receive as money, and the additional $4 trillion, so $6.2 trillion combined, cannot and will not create inflation.
And I said, well, how does that work?
If you print more money or if you make more money, isn't that by definition inflating the money supply?
Is it not inflationary?
He said, yes, but this is immunized money.
Have you heard of this term?
No, I'm still listening.
Immunized money.
It's immune from creating inflation because it's not actually new created money.
And I'm going to try and explain it.
It's done through reverse repos.
And here's how it works.
The Federal Reserve sells treasuries and receives cash today against the promise that To buy treasuries and pay cash back on a later date, this is usually within a six month period.
So the net impact of this on the market is that the market lends the Fed the money because the Treasury price is fixed, so there's no market risk.
You're going to get it back in six months.
The market lending the Fed money offsets the cash the Fed provides to buy all the securities they are now buying to support, which, of course, makes it a circular system, and it comes right back.
He says this is...
Modern monetary theory.
And I knew this on Sunday, but it's now starting to show up in the papers.
You'll see repos this, repo that.
It is completely cooking the books.
I just created a little...
These are the kind of guys...
I remember when Ziff Davis was still in magazine and sold to these other guys, and these guys sold, and then they...
Put some stock out and then they refinance and they said to the stock guys, no, no, it's only going to be worth a dollar, take it or leave it.
And we had this one accountant there that was running the company and this guy I always thought was a genius.
He could keep this company losing money afloat and doing well seemingly for an infinite period of time until he finally unloaded the asset to somebody else.
And I've seen this done before and it's only done by a very few clients I don't know what level of intelligence they have.
They seem like normal people.
They're not wagging around their IQ. But they can do this stuff.
And I believe that Mnuchin might be one of those guys.
It's Mnuchin.
Totally Mnuchin.
Also, this is with Fink from BlackRock.
They cooked it up.
And this apparently is...
They used a version of this in the 2008-2009 crisis.
But that was so much bigger...
Because it was home values.
Things had to go away.
Hello, Lehman Brothers.
Things had to die in the system.
And that's why they created TARP. Yeah, Bear Stearns is the other one.
Yeah, so they shoved all the assets in some off-book thing that will come back to bite our grandchildren's grandchildren, whatever.
But the actual money they created was not that much bigger then.
But this is how they do it.
This is...
An endless money supply.
You can only have to do it in bits.
You can only do, you know, like $10 trillion a year.
But this is modern monetary theory.
This is it.
This is it.
And the only thing we have to do to not wind up to be like Japan is make babies.
We need children.
Otherwise, you'd land up in what the banker calls the Japanese debt trap.
Let's take a look at what's going on now.
Perhaps this whole stay-at-home thing is to force people to have more sex.
It's a giant scheme.
It certainly wouldn't hurt.
There's going to be a mini baby boom after this.
It happened just by turning the lights black in New York for a couple hours.
It was more than a couple hours.
Yes, but it did create a mini baby boom.
If you're going to make people stay at home, babies are coming.
Babies are coming!
And you reported on this recently with this shortage of prophylactics.
There's a rubber shortage.
Or you were Horowitz.
It must have been Horowitz.
Yeah, apparently they've run out of them.
Condoms, you can't get them.
That could be part of the scheme.
Now, Europe is falling the F apart.
Right now, they're like deer in the headlights.
They don't know what to do.
Every country is trying to take care of their people, but countries like Italy, Spain, they're broke.
They have no money.
They owe so much money already to the Eurozone.
And they don't have a Steve Mnuchin.
Well, Mnuchin apparently is working with Italy and maybe even Spain.
So up comes the idea that they said they would never ever do, which was a euro bond, i.e.
write a bond that would raise money for the entire eurozone.
And although the Germans are kind of like, and the French are like, the Dutch came out and went, no!
We're not going to do this.
We don't see why the people of the Netherlands must pay for those poor shits in Italy.
And this is...
I'm...
I'm editorializing it a bit.
But that's how it's coming across.
And people are pissed off.
But, you recall, a couple of the promises at the forming of the European Union.
No passports.
That's done.
Germany has completely shut down its borders.
Not just the only country.
People are now checking.
And it's based on license plate, if you can come across the border or not.
We would have the same money.
Well, that's pretty sad now that everybody has the same money because countries like Greece and Spain and Italy can't jack up their currency to get out of this.
No, they have the euro.
And, above all, it was promised they would never do a euro bond.
Instead, and you may remember this from at least 12 years ago, they created the European Stability Mechanism.
Do you remember this, the ESM? Yeah, I think we talked about it.
I talked about it incessantly.
Because it is exactly what a euro bond is, only they set it up over 10 years ago, probably for something just like this.
And the way the European stability mechanism works is, we'll print up money, and that'll be paid for by the other states.
Which is exactly what a euro bond is.
Except they call it the European Stability Mechanism and everyone's like, oh yeah, that's a good idea.
Let's do that.
Instead of, you know, trying to help those people with our money that we work so hard for.
So it's a trick.
It's like, we're going to tell you we're going to do something other than that, but it's actually something we created a decade ago which does exactly the same thing.
And I think that they're going...
You know, Italy...
It's going to determine whether the EU project falls apart or not.
And Italy is in deep trouble.
As a fun point, the Italians are giving their citizens...
I think it's 300 euros to start off with.
I don't know if that's bi-weekly or weekly.
In order to receive your 300 euros, you have to go to the equivalent of the Italian IRS and you have to show your numbers.
Which, of course, everybody cheats.
So no one can go to the Italian IRS and say, hey, I have a right to this money, because most of them have never filed income tax or so low in the past that they couldn't even exist, even on paper.
So a large portion of the population is afraid to get bailout, to get stimulus money, Because of their lying and cheating on their taxes.
And I'm sure this happens everywhere, but according to Willow, it's a big problem.
And the Italians just don't know what to do.
Do I take the risk of getting investigated later and take the money now?
Hmm.
Well, you know, we should just mention in passing that...
Coronavirus, insofar as the coronavirus is concerned, that Sweden has taken a completely different tact from all of Europe.
And their tact is, eh.
Let's just forget about it.
And how are they doing?
Fine.
Well, and that's the thing.
If you look at even the Pew Pew map from Johns Hopkins, who were also part of the cabal, These numbers, you'll see there's many states, many counties, there's no recovery numbers.
There's a lot of data missing.
One of our Grand Dukes sent a note in about the area he's living in.
This has been going on for over a month and they have so many cases with zero recovery.
So the numbers are bogus.
On that Johns Hopkins map, which I think just looks bogus.
And the numbers may just include influenza, or maybe it's all influenza.
Yeah, it's not good.
Well, then I do have a few questions or a couple of observations.
One, I'm sorry, I'm moving down the desk here.
There we go.
There's this big discussion over masks.
Should you wear a mask?
And it's very confusing.
The Surgeon General has said as much.
Jerome Adams, I don't know how he became Surgeon General.
He looks good in the uniform.
But he seems like a nincompoop.
He doesn't communicate effectively.
What he communicates, he's confusing.
And his message was basically, no, no, no, it doesn't help.
We need the masks for...
Now, you've heard the confusion.
It's like, well, the masks, don't wear masks.
The masks are no good.
We need them.
Yes, that's it.
That's basically it.
Well, it hit me all of a sudden.
I know why they don't want the public to wear masks.
Hello?
The surefire way to avoid facial recognition.
Come on now.
Yes, it will.
Yep.
It's a surefire way to avoid facial recognition.
So for that reason alone, I recommend...
Wear a mask, everybody.
Yes, wear a mask is good.
And the more I think about it, because now we're getting into this tracking and tracing...
It appears the Trace Together framework, which has been deployed first in Singapore.
We played that horrible promo reel of how to do it.
And it uses a combination of things, including the low-powered Bluetooth, which is what my hearing aids use as well.
And low-powered Bluetooth is interesting because you can literally control the power through software.
And that can help you determine how far away a sensor is or another Bluetooth device that you'd be interacting with.
And it appears that many of the groups building apps, and they're being built and deployed.
Everyone's got an app, including Apple and Google, and that's the official one.
It updates automatically, by the way.
Don't worry about it.
They'll fix it for you.
The problem with the Trace Together framework, which is open source, this has been analyzed, link in the show notes, nashownotes.com.
There are two trackers in there, which, although they seem innocuous, going to a data company, one data company that doesn't sell your data, It's all bullcrap.
Ultimately, what they can get from you is your device ID, your IP address, you know, a lot of different things.
So it's not going to be safe by any sense of the imagination.
Those two trackers are in there.
It's just on GitHub.
You can go take a look at it, take a look at the code.
But the biggest...
Oh, no, one other thing.
Can we all admit now for once and for all that Amazon is full of crap with their delivery drones?
Because if there was ever a time to roll it out, this would be the time.
So can we all agree now that this is horse shit and it's never going to happen?
It's just a PR tactic?
Please?
I said it from day one.
Of course, but people get all jacked up about it, and now, alright, isn't this the perfect time?
The perfect time to have your drones delivering?
No, because it's completely impractical and dumb.
Just like police forces around the world now deploying their drones for one reason and one reason only, to justify the use of drones.
Western Australia.
They're the eyes and voices in the sky.
Social!
Like something out of a science fiction movie.
But this is our new reality.
Police drones breaking up groups of more than two.
These drones will be used at parks and other places where people congregate and people are not adhering to the social distancing rules.
From midnight tonight, unless you're from the same household, only two people can be together in public, both indoors and outdoors.
The drone fleet is another weapon to protect frontline police and us from exposure to COVID-19.
It's another weapon in the arsenal.
This is terrorizing people.
It is unnecessary.
It is only justifying this dumb...
It's dumb.
Go over to the two people and get the megaphone there and say, Please, could you go inside?
Your actions are saving lives.
Thank you.
Go inside now.
Go inside.
No, we have to send a damn drone over like a bunch of jagoffs.
Come on!
It's terrorizing people.
Although I did get this ISO. Thank you.
Your actions are saving lives.
It's so New World Order.
I love it.
Thank you.
Your actions are saving lives.
That was citizens.
There's no citizen in there.
In Australia, they're not considered citizens.
Slaves!
Thank you.
So, these things are bad.
And people should...
Revolt against this type of use of drones.
It's really, really not cool.
I agree.
I'm not even going to say anything.
Oh, I forgot to mention.
The New York banker, he says, interestingly, although not in his class, Fauci attended the former...
He's an alum of the former New York banker's high school.
And he played basketball and was apparently quite good.
Fauci?
Yes!
I said, the guy's five feet tall.
I guarantee he was a guard.
A cheerleader, maybe.
I don't know what he was doing.
But, hmm.
Then I have one other fun little data point, and this is kind of back to the economy and how we're doing.
And maybe this has to do with, maybe this is part of the Venezuela thing, I'm not sure.
Trump was asked in, I want to say this, it wasn't yesterday, this might have been the day before yesterday's briefing, About the oil war, the standoff between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
We have so much oil now that prices are down.
What is it now?
$19 a barrel?
Something like that.
Of course, in California, the gas prices are the same.
Yeah, it went up for you guys.
Yeah, it went up.
Got more of it.
Well, I left as much of this clip in as was possible in order to keep context, and I chopped out some spaces, but he spoke in some length about the oil clash, and with Trump, you've got to listen carefully to what he's saying.
Who's he?
Trump.
You've got to listen carefully to what Trump is saying, because it comes out in wacky pieces and bits, but the info is sometimes really in there.
There we go.
Well, look, we have a great oil industry, and the oil industry is being ravaged.
And as you know, Russia, and I spoke to President Putin, we had a great call, Russia...
Saudi Arabia.
I spoke with the crown prince.
We had a great call.
But I think that they will work it out over the next few days.
If you ask me, I think it's just, it's too simple not to be able to.
They both know what they have to do.
So I think I have confidence in both that they'll be able to work it out.
But it's...
It has ravaged an industry worldwide.
Not here.
I mean, worldwide, the oil industry has been ravaged.
So there was a lot of oil production to start off with.
And then on top of it, it got hit with the virus.
And business went down 35-40%.
So that business is a tough one.
And, you know, they have ships all over the sea.
I told you yesterday.
All over the sea.
Massive tankers that they're using for storage.
They go out and they just sit there.
There's no place to go.
They have massive amounts.
Now, gasoline is going to be 99 cents a gallon and less.
You know that.
That's already starting.
It's popping up.
99 cents.
So that's like giving a massive tax cut to people of our country.
It helps with getting the airlines, which is always a tough business, always has been a tough business.
But with that being said, look, I want to get that industry back where it was.
We were doing records in that industry also.
We want to get it back to where it was.
So I think that Saudi Arabia, Russia, they're negotiating, they're talking, and I think they'll come up with something else.
I'm going to meet with the oil companies on Friday.
I'm going to meet with independent oil producers also on Friday or Saturday, maybe Sunday.
But we're having a lot of meetings on it.
I think I know what to do to solve it, but if they're unable to solve it, then I think I know what to do to solve it.
We don't want to lose our great oil companies.
You know, we're the number one producer of oil in the world.
But I do believe there's a way that that can be solved or pretty well solved.
And I'd rather not do that.
I think that Russia and Saudi Arabia at some point are going to make a deal in the not too distant future because it's very bad for Russia.
It's very bad for Saudi Arabia.
It's very bad.
I mean, it's bad for both.
So I think they're going to make a deal.
You know, the free market is a wonderful thing.
It's amazing how it can work.
Okay, so whenever he wants you to remember something, he repeats it incessantly.
And what I heard him say was, they're talking, I've spoken to each of them individually, I think they're going to make a deal.
If not, I know what to do.
I don't want to do it, but I know what to do.
And then he winds up by saying, the free market is a great thing, isn't it?
So what would the plan be, and does Venezuela fit into that?
Well, Venezuela fits into it somehow, because they have the biggest supply.
And we've got our ships down there, so we're going to maybe just steal their oil.
I mean, it's not outside the realm of possibility.
But how does that fix the problem?
The way you would look at it, if you're making these calls, especially if they're, you know, you might suggest that, you know, this is not a bad time.
This is about as low as it's going to get, or it might go lower.
Let's say it goes down to some touch point.
The touch point we'll all agree on will be $13.
Right.
When it goes to $13, we invest heavily in long oil.
Right.
For the airline industries, as you said.
And the airlines will get in on their long-term contracts.
Now's the time at the touchpoint.
And so you all do it now.
Everybody's going to make a lot of money.
Then you just cut production.
Cut production by 50%.
We'll stop production.
Boom.
Everybody stops production.
Let that stuff start flowing out of the tankers.
And then get this shortage and we'll be up to 40 in about, take about three months.
We'll go up to 40.
Everybody will make a fortune on the long side of oil.
Once it's at 40, let it, you know, cut it loose again and we can see what happens and it might go back to where it belongs, which is everyone thinks is around 60 in this modern era.
I mean, that's what you would do.
You do a deal.
Right, and him saying that the free market is a beautiful thing is pretty much...
Yeah, the free market is a beautiful thing.
Here's the scam we're going to pull.
I mean, the free market is a beautiful thing if you're on the inside of a huge international, multinational deal, an agreement, as it were.
That's a free market.
I agree.
You agree.
We both agree.
We're going to split it up.
By the way, Fauci, 4'5", and was outside guard.
4'5"?
Mm-hmm.
Well, this is back in the...
Oh, yes, because nobody could guard him.
This is late 50s.
You can't guard a guy's 4'5".
This is late 50s, I think.
Yeah, it's kind of like, what was the...
Pippin?
What was his name?
Pippen.
Who was the little guy?
Come on, the player, the little guy.
Curly?
No, Mo.
Curly Neal?
No, the Pippen.
Scotty Pippen.
Scotty Pippen.
Scotty Pippen is 6'8".
No, he's not!
Come on, I know my sports.
Scotty Pippen height.
He's 6'8".
Oh, he is 6'8".
Damn it.
Okay.
Sorry.
You're right, he's 6'8".
Yeah.
But Fauci's 4'5", and he's an outside guard in high school.
This was late 50s, I think, so...
Yeah, people were shorter then.
Yes, they were.
Let me play a couple of things I want to get out of the way.
First of all, with our economy going into the toilet...
Hold on, hold on.
Wrong again, Curry.
Okay, go ahead.
Gotta say, yes.
With the economy going in the toilet, which is always a good lead-in.
Let's go.
I found the clips.
I'm happy you did.
I'm happy you did.
Rooting for the Depression, one.
And then apparently a few weeks later, he doubled down.
Let's play clip one.
Can I ask about the economy?
Because this economy is going pretty well.
We have to...
What?
Why is that funny?
It is going well for now.
For now, right.
That's my question.
Thank you.
That's my question.
I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point.
And by the way, I'm hoping for it.
Because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy.
So please, bring on the recession.
Sorry if that hurts people.
But it's either root for a recession or you lose your democracy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Not that he cares.
This is what he wants.
He's happy now.
He's a guy who could give a million to Obama.
A Democrat.
DNC. Yeah, the DNC. Well, yeah, he can't give a direct.
But he gave it up, and he's got that much money.
He makes a lot of money, and he doesn't care about anybody else but himself.
Although I think we figured out that million dollars was some run-around deal through HBO. There was some deal he made to make that happen.
Doesn't matter.
That's beside the point.
He could have kept it.
He's not worried about economic downturn.
No, he's not.
In fact, he's rooting for it.
In fact, no one on television has any worry whatsoever about economic downturn.
Whatsoever, except maybe they can't get their hair done or they're dry cleaning.
Actually, dry cleaners are exempt.
Yeah, but they're not all open.
No, but I've been looking around and most of them are open.
Ours are.
Yeah, ours is open up the road.
How they got exempt, I don't know.
I have the order.
I printed it out.
Elites need to get their suits cleaned for appearances.
They do.
Of course.
So let's go to, maybe he's doubling down.
All right, Josh, isn't the Fed cutting rates now just going to make the next economic downturn worse?
What's your prediction?
I've been hoping for a recession.
People hate me for it, but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn't hate me for it.
I mean, recessions are really bad.
People lose their jobs and their homes.
I know.
And we shouldn't wish...
It's worth it.
You know, shouldn't he be cheering now?
Is he out there saying, yes!
Yes!
Nice!
Yeah, that's the irony.
You get what you wish for, and it turns out Trump's popularity is going up.
What an idiot.
That's the best part of it.
Meanwhile, while we're at...
To finish this topic, I'll round it out a little bit.
So I've been bitching and moaning about these podcasters who were...
Yeah, and poorly done.
Half a podcaster is better than what I'm seeing there.
None worse than, it turns out, Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest.
Oh, brother.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
You left a pause.
I was filling it in.
I know.
You did the right thing.
But, and I usually prevent that from happening by throwing in something like that.
So they have, now Seacrest is at least mic'd right.
Kelly has got a microphone in a bucket somewhere.
And the two of them are both, and I put a picture in the last newsletter and people should look at it.
They're both off frame.
Oh brother, they couldn't even get that right?
They couldn't even be center frame.
They're over to the, both of them are over to the right, kind of inching, almost falling out of frame.
And Seacrest is in his kitchen wearing a hoodie, and she's in her dining room.
She's in her living room.
I don't know where she is, but she's unfortunately poorly mic'd.
No, she's not mic'd at all.
She's just on the laptop mic or something.
It must be.
But whatever the case is, she decides to go off in this advisory thing, which is, I advise you don't worry about being alone, and all these things about staying at home.
And by the way, this is nothing more than virtue signaling.
All the broadcasters and all the stay-at-home orders are very clearly exempt.
Yep.
You can go to the studio and that includes everyone in the studio.
It includes all the cameramen and the editors.
You can all go to work.
You can still have your jobs.
You can go to the studio.
In fact, most people in the technical jobs are still on the job at work.
They still have to man the connections.
They still got all kinds of lower thirds and remotes to connect to.
They're all working.
The technical people are working.
And so you can put a mask on and go to work.
You can be at the studio.
But you're right.
This is show business to the max.
And, well, they have another problem, but I'll let you get to this.
It's virtue signaling to the max.
Oh, look at us.
We're at home, too.
We're suffering like you are.
This is bull crap.
Meanwhile, then she goes on to this rant, which is what I recorded about.
Oh, don't worry about it.
You know, if you feel lonely, you know, that's what we all do.
And she's just ridiculous.
By the way, this is more of the fear factor notion that we've been talking about.
If you can understand her when she goes through this rant of hers.
And see, Chris, you can hear him at the end.
I didn't clip any of him, but I can assure you that he was mic'd correctly.
But she was just, this is pathetic.
This is beneath the lousiest kind.
And this is network television.
And I just wrote down a few things that I want people to know that it's okay to feel.
Okay?
Okay.
It is okay to feel scared and anxious and alone and to have anxiety about money and jobs and food.
And it is okay to not understand your kid's math.
It's okay to not know what to say to your kids when they ask you, am I going to get it?
It's okay to think that you are developing symptoms every time you hear somebody talk about symptoms.
That is perfectly okay.
It's okay to work from home without any pants on.
That is perfectly okay.
It's okay.
Our job tonight actually is to scare people to death.
You know, this, gosh, there's so much in what she's doing there.
It's sickening.
It is sickening.
Well, things will have to change, but maybe not the unprofessional nature of the technical broadcast, but I did a little search.
I basically went to Ad Age, Advertising Week, I looked at all the articles, and Let's take a look at what's going on.
WPP, hiring freeze, cuts.
WPP, the largest conglomerate of advertising agencies next to Omnicom.
They're trying to save a billion dollars.
Ad buys are being cancelled.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau, the IAB, this trade group for online, have postponed their...
They don't call them up fronts anymore.
They call them new fronts for almost two weeks.
So there's no money coming in for the new interactive buys.
And, above all, advertisers online are having an incredible problem because of, well, virtue signaling, but also the keyword filtering.
Now, when you post something about COVID-19 or coronavirus, it gets picked up by the AI, and we need to talk about what's going on here.
Agent Orange used his Google Voice account, sent a text message through his Google Voice account, which inquired about someone in the hospital in Texas, actually, a veteran, who might have coronavirus.
The text message did not go through, and his account was blocked for the use of the term coronavirus inappropriately.
Which, of course, is an AI mistake and a filtering mistake.
But this is happening everywhere, including the advertising.
So publishers, they can't advertise on big websites that talk about the coronavirus because a lot of these keyword block lists or black lists have that in there.
So they're losing out on some of the biggest news stories.
And that's not the advertisers.
The online websites are going out of business.
They cannot monetize record amounts of traffic, which actually costs more money, believe it or not.
We have a lot of people using your bandwidth in your server.
The cost does go up one way or the other.
60 local newspapers, the plug is being pulled on them.
Local advertising is based on events.
A lot of it is.
Think of Austin.
It's dead.
Look at BuzzFeed and all these guys.
They're in trouble.
But so is the New York Times.
Because the online advertising is evaporating.
And that's part of the virtue signaling.
Oh, I have to be brand safe.
I can't be on a conversation that's not brand safe.
Or maybe there's comments that aren't brand safe.
And the disinformation will be blamed for it.
So they've screwed the pooch themselves.
Ironically.
It's the best part!
That is the best part.
It's the irony.
Yes.
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 enhanced counter-drug measures, John C. Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, all ships to sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs on the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
A hearty and large and well-meant in the morning to our troll room, noagendastream.com.
Quick little troll count.
Troll count now is, whoa, hello, trolls, 1,681.
Not the record, but we've had a lot of people checking in live.
We do the show live on Thursdays and Sundays at 12 Eastern, just to make it easy for everybody, 11 a.m.
here in the beautiful Republic of Texas.
And you can witness that by going to noagendastream.com.
That's up 24-7.
You can listen to the stream.
You can get in the troll room.
Troll around, do whatever you want to do, make fun of people, learn something, meet new children from other lands, and also sample some of the best podcasts, all based on the value-for-value model.
There is no commercials.
It's a lot of good fun with good people.
NoagendaStream.com.
Remember, we have NoAgendaSocial.com right now, which is not...
We've had it for two years, but it's very important if you want to share information and not be blocked by algorithms and artificial intelligence.
If you have something that you actually want to share, there's a good place to do it because no algo's run, nothing's deleted, no one's blocked.
And you can also communicate with anybody at NoAgendaSocial.com.
I'm Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
Through any federated website.
So you can do it from mastodon.social, from gab.com, anywhere you want.
It's the federated model, and we like it a lot.
And also, in the morning, to our artists for episode 1229, 1,229 episodes, the title of that was Orange Tongue.
And we reused, this is a rare one, but we reused the album art that I had used to tweet the bat signal by SkipLogic.
It was variation one.
It was a different variation, but it still had the show title in the number.
So it's a gas pump that shows $1.22.90.
It has no agenda in the, I guess that would be, is that Exxon colors?
Or is that?
That's mobile.
Mobile colors, yes.
Live from Gitmo Nation.
Beautiful piece done by Skip Logic, who has Skip Logic done some, yeah, Skip Logic's done some other stuff for us.
I think we've used, well, maybe we haven't used any of it.
We almost used one, and I think one did become a t-shirt.
That's the Globe one, I believe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry, we're closed.
Yes, yes.
Yeah, that was a good one, but it never really made our art, but it did make the shop's art.
Yes.
He sent a note around thanking us profusely.
Yeah, and obviously wanted to point out that this was a piece of art.
Typically, the rule is don't put the show number on it, but this was such a creative use of the show number that we felt it was okay.
Because it was the gas station price pump.
Yeah, and it was the best piece, mainly.
Did we look at something else?
It was a lot of, let's see, the drone, Nick of the Rats, Citizen drone.
It just wasn't quite that pretty.
You used the no agenda, do not resuscitate in the newsletter.
I'm happy you did that.
I vetoed that one because it looked too much like NBC. I don't want people to look at it and glance away.
Thinking that's NBC. I don't want to listen to that.
That was my reasoning.
Next time, have the dead birds have some smoke coming off.
That would help.
That would help.
Noagendaartgenerator.com.
That's where you can look at all of the art that's made.
It's where you can upload things.
Lots of this art, as you heard, makes it onto t-shirts, mugs, caps, clothings, hoodies.
At NoAgendaShop.com, which supports the artist, the shop, and the show.
And above all, it's just fun to look at all the great stuff people come up with.
NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
As part of our Value for Value model, we'd like to thank the people who support the show at high levels in the beginning of the broadcast.
That's what we call our executive producers and associate executive producers.
And we're going to thank them now.
Yes, starting with our...
He's obviously a Grand Duke by now, but he doesn't take credit for anything other than his own title that he's decided to be Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Oh!
Dogpatch is back!
And he actually sent cash.
What, like dollar bills?
No, not quite dollar bills, but it was cash.
Wow.
High-denomination bills, let's put it that way.
$2,000.99.
Shh!
Yeah.
Wow.
So that was welcome.
And tell me he has a note.
No note.
No, he's got a note.
He's got a note.
He says, Sir Anonymous, a dog patch in Lorsal Mobile, your bargain basement donation filled with all kinds of germs.
Get it?
Yes.
Yeah.
Thank all your producers that add so much to the information and entertainment of the critical service of this critical service during a pandemic.
Sadie Hawkins Day was again successful here in Dogpatch.
Women in burkas were slower, but they used a pre-event dinner with much alcohol and food to successfully slow many of the men.
Did we miss Sadie Hawkins Day?
Yes, I guess we did.
Yeah, well, he caught it somewhere in, I don't know where, but...
I'm guessing the Middle East somewhere, where they drink.
Now, the number of countries that drink that are Muslim countries, Indonesia's one of them, Turkey's one of them, the Middle East itself technically doesn't drink, but they kind of drink, but they can't drink if they're wearing their traditional costume.
So they can only drink if they're naked?
If you want the story, I'm in with a Saudi prince.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Set the stage.
Okay, so this is 80s, 90s?
You're on the Saudi prince's jet.
No, I'm not on anybody's jet.
I'm in Dubai, and we're opening a PC Magazine Middle East as a magazine rollout.
Okay, so you're doing biz in the Middle East.
And so there's one guy, nice guy, Saudi prince, Saudi royal family.
Not a prince, royal family.
Royal family member.
So he's only a millionaire.
I don't know, he could be a billionaire for all I know.
All I know is he seemed like a nice guy.
And I've run into these guys before, and they're very distinctive.
They have a certain...
They're charming.
They have charm.
Yeah, they always wear expensive watches.
And so there's a bar in this hotel, and he says, you want to go have a drink?
Oh, he's hitting on you.
No, he just wanted to sit down and have a drink.
Oh.
And I said, I didn't think you guys could go have a drink in these bars.
You know, I'm just saying.
And he says, oh, yeah, well, no, you can't if you're wearing this outfit.
I'll be right back.
I'll be down in five minutes.
Wait, so he was wearing his white outfit with the headbands?
Yeah, his dish dash, as they call it.
His dish dash?
Yeah, he's wearing that.
And he comes down.
He comes down.
He's got a pair of sunglasses on.
His turban's gone.
He's got an ACDC T-shirt on.
And he's wearing jeans.
Good to go.
We can drink!
And now it's okay to drink.
Did he have brown shoes on?
I didn't notice.
No, tennis shoes.
He was wearing tennis shoes.
Nikes.
Alright, alright.
So I did notice.
Anyway, so there's some issues there like that people don't understand.
Fully understand anyway.
Anyway, so dog power.
Sounds like a loophole to me.
Totally a loophole.
So Onimus is going on about the women getting them in drunk so they could chase them down.
Pre-race discussion of how covering up your face in public, washing five times a day, no handshakes, and cancelling all concerts is a successful transfer of extremist Islamic culture to the rest of the world.
I just considered that.
Yes, exactly.
Damn Taliban.
Taliban!
Orange!
Best comment was how many prefer a magazine of hollow points and open carry to encourage social distancing.
The Kalashnikov was noted as having a superior social distancing benefit.
Dogpatch, it's only once a month, but I do love it when you write to us.
Air travel is easier than ever.
No lines and almost...
It's almost like taking a private jet.
I encourage all no-agenda listeners to buy from whatever businesses are open, including drive-in or take-out restaurants.
Buy partial tanks of gas to refill more frequently.
And if you are not risking other family members, volunteer at soup kitchens or look for other opportunities to help those that are less able in person or less able.
As in-person volunteerism has really dropped.
Yeah.
Well, there's some problems as well.
We do a lot for the Ronald McDonald House, of course, and I was happy to go and volunteer.
No.
No, there's only one person at a time because the offices and everything is in the house.
So the limited personnel, because we have sick people coming in, coming out.
People went to the hospital.
People go from there to the hospital.
Children running around.
It's very difficult.
They used to have, every day, there would be groups coming in, cooking, usually an office or some social club.
And so that's kind of scheduled on an ongoing basis, and that had to stop immediately.
So now people have to send money, buy food, has to be delivered.
It's a problem to even volunteer, is what I'm saying.
He continues, conspiracy or not, just another flu or not, it can make you very sick for a while and is causing short-term overloads in the healthcare system.
Panic is the biggest issue to look for.
Panic is the biggest issue, so look for a reasonable way to help others.
In our third world charity, we are giving big bags of food to old couples, With the condition that we will only give more food the next week if the parents are still there.
We hope it will keep the parents, make the parents live longer.
Anyway, so he's part of some organization doing that.
And JNK, as usual.
And we want to thank him for supporting this show.
Yeah, thank you.
In a big way.
Seronymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia, one of the top supporters, refuses titles.
We don't know much about him other than we always look forward.
Well, of course, his support is almost unparalleled, but his notes are always inquisitive, interesting, and well thought out.
And I put the money through a gamma radiation machine, which I have in the back room.
So we're all good.
That should be fine.
Onward.
Is it Serena, you think?
I think Serena, yeah.
Serena Catania?
Yeah.
Catania.
Catania.
Yeah, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, $530.
And just a note, there's nothing like a dame.
And I'm assuming that that's a request.
There is nothing like a dame.
Nothing's going to go.
Give more nation will acclaim.
There is anything but a dame.
Yes, nothing like a dame.
I don't think she's a dame.
No, she's on her way.
According to Eric, she has a very small amount of money to go.
So she's close.
Okay.
Jeffrey Sackett in St.
Joseph, Michigan, 333.
Thank you for your courage.
Another nice short note.
Thank you for your courage.
Yeah, we like the shorties.
And thank you for your short note.
Yes.
Fawaj Aldu Duage?
I would say Fawaz.
He's in Kuwait.
Fawaz Al Duage.
Do I? Something like that.
Shit.
Well, isolation is desolation, he says.
I ask God to let me plant kisses on cheeks of friends and family.
Jingle.
Stop the hammering.
Say hello to my little friend.
Anything in English by an Arab leader, current or former.
Wait a minute.
Stop the hammering is easy.
I don't think we have a say hello to my little friend.
No, we don't.
That came from the Al Pacino movie.
We probably should have it.
It's like every podcast in the world uses that.
Say hello to my little friend.
There you go.
Alright, so you'll do that part.
And then, so I can do stop the hammering, you do say hello to my little friend, and then anything in English by an Arab leader, current or former.
Do we even have that?
Probably have tons of it, but...
Well, who would be an Arab leader that we'd have something from?
Well, uh...
I don't know.
I don't know offhand.
I'll just do this, okay?
And then we'll throw some karma.
Oh, that's good.
We'll just go all the way.
Yeah, we'll just, we'll just, I mean, we gotta do something, right?
Stop the hammering!
Say hello to my little friend!
Yes, we have everything you want, including all of the oil for you here in Saudi Arabia.
You've got karma.
The worst.
That was the worst.
No, no.
I tell you, it was not the worst.
It was up there, but it was not the worst.
Okay.
A dude named Sven in your neck of the woods.
He's in Austin, Texas.
He came in with $333.
He sent a note in, a couple of notes actually.
Oh, okay.
Are you grabbing the mail?
No, I don't have to.
I already found it.
I actually did some pre-show work today.
Oh!
I did pre-show work yesterday.
I wrote that whole four theories.
I think you actually had five in there, to be honest about it.
Thank you again for this service, he writes.
On my 33rd year, this is probably a birthday or something.
On my 33rd year, my wife and I are fortunate enough to be expecting our first child.
Please send karma to my wife.
She's a wonderful person, smoking hot, building another human being from scratch and has a very stressful job.
From scratch?
I never thought about it.
That's absolutely true.
Enhanced human resource creation.
She's building a human being from scratch.
That's great.
Talent, man.
Talent.
My hope is that karma aimed at her person Both bathes her and transfers directly to the baby as well.
Were it not for the pregnancy, I don't think either one of us would be too concerned about the virus, thanks in no small part to your deconstructions.
However, it is concerning while we're in this condition.
So far, there is mention of limited data from Wuhan where nine pregnant women who contracted COVID during their third trimester ended.
having help with healthy babies and the mothers went on to be fine.
The CDC doesn't have any real information on the subject, although they remind you that the influenza can cause a preterm birth, which can have lasting development effects on the child from friends.
In the medical field, it sounds like the greatest threat that COVID poses during the pregnancy or birth is by being transferred to a newborn from an infected parent, in which case they speculate it would be required that the parent would have to be quarantined from the newborn for several weeks.
Well, it's surely better than the alternative.
That might be very difficult to cope with as well.
Anyways, going on.
Last thing is a reminder to everyone who has to call in to customer service lines.
The people fielding these calls from customers do not write Do not write the frustrating company policies that they are reading.
Okay.
It's stressful on them to take verbal abuse, and it's truly abuse.
I've seen what it can do to them, yeah.
Well, that's right.
Don't start yelling at a customer service person.
Oh, people are going nuts.
We'll talk about that.
I think it's called anticipatory anxiety.
It's very destructive.
Yeah.
You're just waiting for something to happen.
You're waiting.
You don't even know what it is.
What are we waiting for?
Some signal that all's clear, all's good, or we're all going to die.
People are flipping out.
Flipping out!
Yes, they're flipping out.
But dude named Sven, congratulations.
Yeah, and he doesn't have any other requests for jingles or anything such as that.
He doesn't want some perfect human resource karma.
The karma for the baby, for sure.
And thank you for contributing to the much-needed babies in the United States so we don't become Japan.
Thank you.
You've got karma.
Yes, thanks for contributing to the babies.
Sir J.D., Baron of Silicon Valley, or in his case, PsyConVal.
Hmm.
321-18, he's in San Jose.
Gents, a communication from the Baron.
Yep.
Physically distancing himself from JCD and the other No Agenda folks in our nine Bay Area counties, sheltering in place during the extended Corona quarantine government order.
More on that later, but...
For today, I need a happy birthday call out.
And I think he's on the list.
And some goat could scream.
You might die.
That's true.
Karma for our human resource.
Dame Phenanemus.
He's got a pronunciation there.
Whose birthday...
Countdown is encoded in this donation.
She must pass the important milestone quarantine and shelter in place with her parental units instead of our celebrating with her friends.
Another victim of the COVID-19 generation.
But let's end on a happy note.
There will be cake.
Thank you for your courage.
And I'm assuming he's making a cake for us when everyone gets together.
Yeah.
Keep up the great work, working from home, Sir J.D. I think, shouldn't we call these children Generation C? I don't know.
For coronavirus?
This is a very young child, no?
March 21st, 2018.
It's two.
Yeah, two.
Two.
So that's Generation C, born under the coronavirus.
Yeah.
Born under a bad sign.
You might die.
Hold on, let me do the sequence.
Let me get it for you.
Here we go.
You might die.
That's true.
You've got...
There you go.
I want you to read this one while I get a lozenge.
Albert Aversa from Charles City, Virginia, $223.05, and there's a reason for that, because it comes a night today, and says as follows, I'm happy as always to make this donation, not only to support you guys and all the producers, but because I'm reasonably sure I will never pay this bill.
Rusty Shackleford, however, is a moderately wealthy man and should be fine.
I am way overdue for my knighting, so please dub me Sir 305.
And could I also have eggs and eggs at the round table?
So it's a double helping of eggs.
Quick shout out to Sir Mike, my dad, and Howard F., who I recently hit in the mouth and is loving the show.
I'm sure he'd appreciate a douchebag call-out.
Well, happy to do that.
Douchebag!
Happy to comply.
He asked for a number of jingles.
He asked for Trump's Space Force, for the Pew Pew, and a little girl yay, and I presume we're going to throw some karma after that, so here you go.
Space Force!
Yay!
You've got karma.
He was in for $238 as an associate executive producer.
Yes.
But he becomes a knight today and wants eggs and eggs.
And what he meant by I won't pay the bill, he felt, I can say, he felt as if that the show brought so much value to his life.
Ah, I see what you're saying.
This lozenge sounds like you've got a mouthful.
You know what the problem is with this lozenge?
It's really sticky and it sticks to my teeth.
So when I try to tuck it so I can talk, there I got it, it sticks and it's very annoying.
Yes, it's annoying for the listeners as well.
It's true.
Let me take and remove it for a second.
Yeah, maybe you should think about that.
I did.
I just did it.
I stuck it under the table.
Sticks like a champ.
This is more like glue.
Listen, why don't you chomp on that and I'll do the next note from Clayton Usher.
222.22.
Clayton's from Chicago.
Long-time listener, first-time donor, so please help remove all this excess douche.
You've been de-douched.
There you go.
Douche removal complete.
I'm donating today in the hopes of starting a trend of finding unique percentages of our slave stipend of 1,200...
What is this?
Stipend of 1,200 Australian or Austrian.
I'm not sure it's an umlaut here, so I don't know what this means.
A stipend to donate to the best podcast in the universe.
I chose to donate 18-ish percent.
18 for Jewish good luck.
And I say ish because my Catholic family only recently found out my mother was born out of wedlock and was related to a large Jewish family.
Thanks, Ancestry.com, for some added family drama.
Ha ha!
Yes.
For the last six years, I helped build a small bioengineering company from Louisville, Kentucky, into an international brand.
Last year, my...
Yes, last April, my years of work and promise of future ownership were rewarded by being let go with zero severance.
Through Skype video, no less.
Gotta love technology.
I slowly went bankrupt while suckling like a globalist vampire on the jobs karma of fellow producers more fortunate than I. After eight months of vampire, I was hired by a small team of engineers in Chicago where I'd already been living for the past few years.
In return, I would like to send out jobs karma for anyone who has hit a rough time during the Rona and can't afford to donate.
I imagine Pence's jobs karma will work best because he sounds about as dead inside as one feels in between jobs.
For me, I require no jingles but would feel very refreshed to hear one toot from the harmonica.
And I think we should still do the most powerful Nancy Jobs Karma, but I need a harmonica toot from you.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Onward with Tristan Onion.
Martin's.
Yes.
Onion, Mr.
Onion.
By the way, Clayton was 222.22, and we have 201.33 out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
As a trucker, during thousands of miles a week, there's a lot of time to fill with listening to the radio, podcast, books on tape, etc., Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Just a quick shout out to one of my friends that finally slapped me in the face and pointed me to the No Agenda show.
I shall call him Mike the Shark.
So dramatic your read.
I'm enjoying it.
Onion Tristan.
Onion Martens.
I request some goat karma.
We've got...
Karma.
With a twisted mouth harp.
Nice.
Daniel Mariano was our last on our associate executive producer list in Lugerville.
I don't know why Pflugerville cracks me up.
There's nothing funny about Pflugerville.
It's perfectly fine.
It's not far from here.
Where are you from, boy?
I'm from Pflugerville, Texas.
What's wrong with that?
It's right near Frittstown.
You got a problem with me being from Pflugerville?
Pflugerville.
Pflugerville.
$200.
Dear John and Adam.
I'd like to have an F cancer, a health karma from my ex-father-in-law who is suffering from symptomatic...
What?
Melanoma?
Oh, is it...
Is that melanoma?
No, that's not how melanoma is.
It says myelanoma.
That sounds bad.
I wouldn't want it.
Thanks for everything you guys do.
We'll gladly give you that.
I just want to see what it is.
My...
Myloma is the way it's pronounced.
Myloma, is that how you pronounce it?
M-O-I-E-L-O-M-A. Yeah, not good.
What is it?
It's bad.
Oh, okay.
Well, give him a death cancer for sure.
I feel bad about making fun of his child's name now.
Pflugerville is off limits for you.
You're banned forever from Pflugerville.
Oh well.
And Fredericksburg too, while we're at it.
What's wrong with Fredericksburg?
Fritzburg don't want you no more.
Yeah, you know those Texans are that way.
Yeah.
True.
We're armed.
And that concludes our list of executive producers, associate executive producers, show 1230.
Yes.
And we continue our quest for the truth.
Yes.
And, uh, man.
And get condemned for it.
I had to block some guy on Twitter.
Oh yeah, we're getting condemned for all types of things.
It doesn't matter.
Condemned for discussing out-of-bounds topics.
It's interesting how, I don't know if these people actually listen, but the way the show is being perceived by some is, well, they're all over the map.
First they say it's this, then it's that, then it's no big deal, then it's a hoax, which I don't think we've ever said ever.
There's a difference between...
Wait.
One time you said, do you think it's a hoax?
Yeah.
And I said no.
Right.
That's as close as we've come.
But when you go through...
We deconstruct.
We break down the information at hand.
We bring in information from our producers.
And maybe we come to some conclusion.
I think today we're still looking at a whole bunch of different ways that this could have been created, where it's coming from.
And more importantly, how do we get out of it?
Is of, I think, interest to everybody.
But yeah, this is part of the, it's like not being critical enough of Trump, you know, and people start to freak out.
And we've got to talk about some of this media action as well.
But first, again, thanks to all of the executive producers and associate executive producers.
It's very heartwarming to see this showing on a day like this, particularly with things the way they are.
So thank you very much, and we look forward to thanking more producers who supported the show in our second donation segment.
And a reminder that we'll be here come hell or high water or whatever Rona throws at us on Sunday.
And we'll do it all over again with more deconstruction.
You can support us by going to...
And remember, don't try these theories at home, people.
Our formula is this.
To get killed.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
You've got mail.
Shut up, slave. .
I wanted to play a little compilage clip because it's so easy to forget.
I mean, gosh, what was happening three, four weeks ago?
I don't remember what the hell we were talking about.
But for sure, the media is completely convinced that Trump has killed people.
Killed people by not responding quickly enough.
I think it's probably worth playing this little ditty from Nancy Pelosi.
She was on with Pooper.
And in the beginning of this, you'll hear her talking.
Well, I'll point it out as we go.
Well, here's Pooper and Pelosi.
Cooper and Pelosi, now NBC must see Friday TV. The president's denials of the seriousness of the virus in the beginning was deadly, that it cost lives.
The president and the Senate Majority Leader are now suggesting that impeachment distracted the president from responding to the virus.
Do you buy that at all?
I like this because it's very interesting that the first move the United States made...
As everyone on stage would say, at the direction of the president, I decided to get up this morning, and then we decided to block China from coming.
And that was the day after he was told, which was in the middle of his impeachment trial.
So I don't think he was distracted, and I don't know where this quote from Anderson Pooper comes from, but Nancy responds.
I think that's an admission that perhaps the president and the majority leader cannot handle the job.
We have a life and death situation in our country, and they should not try to hide behind an excuse for why they did not take action, but it does admit that they did not take action.
Isn't that interesting how that immediately got twisted around?
So someone says something to Anderson Pooper, and all of a sudden, no, they admit they didn't take action.
And what's she going to do about it?
That's for an after-action review down the road, right now.
Yeah, that's for action later down the road.
We're going to try and impeach him again for not using the Defense Production Act properly.
We have to work together to get the job done.
And all of the statistics that we are hearing break every one of those deaths.
All of that loss of life is tragic for our country.
To see the big numbers, though, we have to see what we can do to...
Stop that growth of that number of people dying.
And so yesterday, we spent the day, our Democratic members on the phone all day, communing with each other, with the press, with everyone we could to say, Mr.
President, implement the Defense Production Act, because our men and women, our first responders, our health care providers, our TSA, everyone who comes in contact with or is ministering to the needs of We're good to go.
That they need to do their jobs and the ventilators to save the lives that they are there to save.
This is something that, regardless of what went before, that we in the here and now have to address, the President can do that by implementing the Defense Production Act.
And this is what he will...
They will do another investigation.
They're going to do a 9-11-style commission.
Also similar to the Warren Commission for the assassination of JFK. A 9-11-style commission where they will be looking at all of the failures of President Trump and how many people died because of him because he would not evoke the Defense Production Act, which, of course, he has used sparingly, as far as I know, only to threaten General Motors who are price-gouging those a-holes.
Or at least they were holding out for a better price.
And this is the narrative.
Trump killed people by not acting quickly enough and by communicating to the American people that it was nothing, it's not dangerous.
He is responsible for killing people!
Killing them by misinforming them on television!
All right!
So let's listen to the media starting January 31st through March 14th.
People are like, you know, I think I have the flu.
Could it be the coronavirus?
Overall, most people should not be terribly concerned about it.
You definitely want to pay attention.
Should they panic?
No.
Americans do not need to panic.
What I would suggest, however, is that Americans take this as a wake-up call for seasonal flu.
Flu is a much bigger deal.
There's an important context we need to keep this in, and that is that the flu is more deadly.
Maybe this is a good opportunity to remind people of that.
Such a good reminder.
And while there's a lot of fear over this coronavirus, you know, the flu is already widespread in the U.S., and it really is much more deadly, is it not?
Coronavirus is not going to cause a major issue in the United States.
We're going to have 40,000 to 60,000 deaths this year in the United States from the influenza, and it's preventable.
And there are only 12 confirmed cases of coronavirus here in the state.
The risk is low.
The risk, however, for the flu is through the roof.
Health warning from doctors why they say people should be more worried about the flu than the coronavirus.
Half of the people in America do not get a flu shot, and the flu right now is far deadlier.
So if you're freaked out at all about the coronavirus, you should be more concerned about the flu.
And there's Pooper himself saying it.
Gee, isn't that coincidental?
So...
Take this clip.
It'll be in the show notes.
You can get it from Clips and Docs in the tab at the top.
Download it and make sure you play that for people who keep saying this.
Because it's just not true.
Everybody had the same information.
There will be another opportunity within a couple of weeks to make another clip medley of just the opposite.
Well, of course.
Obviously.
Obviously.
Okay, let's see.
While we're on the cut, we're still talking a little bit about, we have to at least discuss this, that Joe Biden is now a podcaster.
Did you...
Did you get any of Joe's podcast?
I only took a little piece of it, but before we play it, I do want to play a Joe Biden clip.
Oh, I have a couple myself.
He's been really on the ball.
Well, let me play the piece of the podcast that I thought was interesting, because I thought you'd like.
It's only a seven-second snippet.
The podcast is really not very good.
It's essentially Joe asking somebody to ask him questions.
And what...
So he brings this guy on.
He asks him a couple of questions.
He says, what do you think?
And the question guy just immediately reads from a script.
You can tell it's all scripted.
And he says, well, Joe, let me ask you questions.
What do you think we should do?
I'm the expert.
What do you think we should do?
And so then Joe brambles on.
And if you listen to this seven-second clip, I want you to see if you can spot the edit.
Just one?
Just one?
That whole show is pieced together.
This is one of the more egregious ones.
Same sound guys, they don't care about Joe, they don't even think they like him, and they edited this thing so it sounds like junk.
Ron is an outside advisor to my campaign.
He led the Ebola response in President Obama's and my administration in 2014.
That's two edits in there.
Ron is an outside advisor to my campaign.
That's the first one there.
That's the second one.
They chopped in led the Ebola response.
Listen.
It's a completely different cadence.
They dropped the whole thing in there.
Hi, my name is Bill Burden.
It's like a Mad Libs insert.
And they have to, because the guy talks like this normally.
I put it slightly differently.
What is his responsibility?
And what, if there was an allocating responsibility, I'll let history do that.
Yeah.
So I'm a pretty good editor.
I couldn't fix that or this one.
And in order to avoid those very high numbers, we have to do at least several things.
One, we have to depend on what the president's going to do right now.
And first of all, he has to wait till the cases before anything happens.
Look, the whole idea is he's got to get in place things that we're shortages of.
Whoa!
I could edit that and make it sound good, but it...
I would like to see that.
This particular one, I could probably edit and make it sound good.
I could try.
Maybe we should do an edit challenge one of these days.
Okay.
I just have to get a different...
I have to set it up to do that.
In fact, I'll have it set up for the next show because Joe's going to be around...
Well, I do have the one, of course, talking about flubs.
You can read this.
This is the Biden clip.
This is Biden-Kuha, but this is not...
Yeah.
No, I think I heard this one, too.
And our Secretary of State insisted, and this broke the meeting up, basically, in terms of influence, that this be called the Lujan virus.
I love that so much.
Why don't we just put them all together?
I mean, it'll just sound like a real interview from Joe.
Yeah, can you write all of them?
Yeah, here we go.
And our Secretary of State insisted, and this broke the meeting up basically in terms of her influence, that this be called the Lujan virus.
Ron is an outside advisor to my campaign.
He led the Ebola response in President Obama and my administration in 2014.
I put it slightly differently.
What is his responsibility?
And what, if there was an allocating responsibility, I'll let history do that.
Yeah, Joe, we have episode two of the show ready.
It's all set.
We edited it together and made you sound good.
It sounds just like a Joe Biden discussion on any show.
There really is no other option for the Democrats than to kill him and blame it on the Rona.
So, I mean...
They've got to do something.
He has denigrated to a degree where he cannot get a single talking point out.
And he keeps looking down, and that's when he gets confused.
And then he just throws in some non-sequiturs.
He's done.
He's toast.
He's done for.
You say that, but if you follow the guys who are pushing him, they're all behind it.
They have not seen this.
They don't see it.
Well, Joe's got some issues, but luckily now since there's the coronavirus thing, we don't have to worry about a presidential debate.
He's not going to have to be – there's no showdown in Milwaukee.
We can waltz it right in, keep him off the air as much as we can.
We can do this podcast as dynamite.
The podcast is dynamite.
We can edit it, make him sound smart.
It sounds horrible.
The mix is off.
They got music under it way too long at the beginning.
It's really a piece of crap.
And with all the podcasters who are clearly Democrats, who are good editors, good engineers, good storytellers, NPR people, surely you could have drafted someone to do a better job than this.
Let's put it this way.
What if...
What if...
The guy doing the job is the absolute best guy in the country.
I can't wait for the presidency.
I can't wait for Joe's administration to rock my world.
Because he picks great winners.
I do have an ISO candidate.
I thought I had two, but I only have one.
This comes from an earlier clip.
And the ISO is called Mistake.
Okay.
That is a mistake.
That's not bad.
I kind of like it.
I don't think I... That is a mistake.
I mean, the only...
That's...
See, this one's too...
This is...
Well, this one would fit.
Thank you.
Your actions are saving lives.
It's only two seconds.
It would fit.
Yeah, you can't hear it.
I can't understand a word there.
Oh, do you know exactly what it says?
No.
Yeah, it's thank you.
Your actions have been saving lives.
We played it earlier and you understood it perfectly.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I know, but when you throw it just banging at me like that, it's very difficult.
Thank you.
Man, it's still muddy.
Okay.
That is a mistake.
We can do that one, probably.
Well, I thought I had a second one on here that was even better, but looking up and down the list, I got nothing.
It's not really all that great.
Let me see if I have...
No, it's not that great.
The other one was better.
It was the topper.
Yeah.
What's this?
That's frightening to me.
Oh, that's it.
Yeah, that was it.
That's one of yours?
Yeah.
Well, I like that one better.
Yeah, that was the other one.
Where is it?
I don't see it on the list.
I don't know.
Oh, it's Frightening ISO. Hello?
Frightening ISO. It's right there.
It's on your list.
Not on my list.
It's Between Example of Editing Biden and Horizontal Rainbow.
Which one is that, by the way?
Oh, well, play Horizontal Rainbow.
It's just a very interesting...
Okay, let me preface it.
I decided I'm sick of just covering Corona, Corona, Corona for three hours and I wanted to get some offbeat clips into the mix.
In other words, things that were kind of interesting and we didn't hear about it and make people feel better.
And the horizontal rainbow is an example.
Seeing a rainbow is typically a pleasant surprise, but a photographer said she was absolutely stunned when she spotted a seemingly horizontal one stretching across Washington's Lake Sammamish, reports IFL Science.
Thankfully, she took a picture of it and posted it to Facebook so we can all be amazed.
According to the University of California, Santa Barbara, they're called fire rainbows even though they're not a blaze or even technically a rainbow.
It reports they're actually known as circumhorizontal arcs, which occur when the sun is higher than 58 degrees above the horizon, and its light passes through high-altitude cirrus clouds made up of hexagonal plate ice crystals, which act as a prism.
Wasn't that educational?
Geez, this is more educational.
Oh my gosh, it is a double rainbow.
I cannot believe it.
It's a freaking double rainbow.
I thought that would be something like that.
It's a horizontal rainbow.
People should look this up and take a look at the photo.
If you ever saw one of these in real life, you'd freak.
Anyway, I mean, it's just the freakiest thing you've ever seen.
It's almost impossible to describe.
Okay, well, wait a minute.
I got another one.
Another good, you feel good story.
Yeah.
This is the Puffin Report.
These are puffins.
They've just returned to their home on the Isle of May after spending the last eight months at sea.
Some 100,000 of the birds landed back in their native Scotland after spending fall and winter on the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, where they fed and raised their newborns in more than 40,000 family units.
In fact, puffins find a single partner and mate with them for life.
David Steele, manager of the Scottish Natural Heritage and Nature Preserve, where the puffins make landfall set about the migration, they'll meet up with their partner and use the same nest hole, what's called a puffin burrow, And they'll do a bit of spring cleaning if bits of the nest have collapsed, which is a lot like most species of penguins.
But don't let their striking resemblance and affinity for seaside homesteads fool you.
While puffins are often mistaken for penguins, they're not actually related at all.
Especially considering their one glaring distinction, puffins can fly, and penguins cannot.
Now that the puffins have made landfall, the first eggs should start appearing in about three weeks.
Okay, so clearly you are a little bit of cabin fever, you're locked in, you're watching shitty-ass television, and an intervention is needed.
You can't be watching this.
I mean, I did start War and Peace, the actual television series.
I figured this would be nice and long.
I could probably get through 30 episodes of War and Peace.
But the puffin' stuff has got to go.
All right, I got one more.
I got one more.
Mm-hmm.
This is the – and this irks me because I would have known about this.
Then again, I thought twice about it and said, wait a minute.
Is it possible that these people have been tricked and they've sent 10,000 names to Mars to be picked up by some alien force that's going to come down now and either – Steal the people, or maybe they're going to shoot them.
I have no idea.
But let's listen to this story.
A brand new rover is headed to Mars, and it will carry the names of 10.9 million people, according to NASA. So many people responded to NASA's Send Your Name to Mars campaign that the Red Planet will receive a list of names bigger than the population of Greece.
The names are stenciled on three silicon chips.
Engineers managed to fit all 10.9 million names on these chips using electron beams.
They sit above a piece of art showing Mars, the Earth, and our shared star.
Millions of people will be able to see a trace of themselves on Mars, since the silicon chips are positioned within range of the rover's cameras.
According to Space.com, the rover is named Perseverance, which comes from a seventh grader who won NASA's naming contest.
155 other essays from students who made the finals are also recorded on the rover's chips.
The Perseverance rover is set to land in a Martian crater that used to be flowing with water from a lake and river delta, where NASA hopes to find ancient life.
It will also release a helicopter scout and test out drawing oxygen from the planet's thin atmosphere.
This is horrible.
What is this drivel you're bestowing on us?
This is very educational.
Oh, please.
It's about some...
We're on the moon with the two of these, too.
Your name, my name.
We got one of these chips that's been dropped on the moon, supposedly.
What's my name doing on the moon?
It was for no agenda.
You don't even remember this.
No, I don't, actually.
Yes.
Someone sent us up to the moon.
Same deal.
One of these chip deals.
And it's like, okay, you'll be there for whatever.
Huh.
It's not all that great.
You know, there's probably like Adam Curry.
There must be like 10,000 Adam Currys.
There's at least, I know there's probably hundreds of John Dvorak's.
So how do they know who it is?
Do they have our address?
Social security number?
Oh, brother.
This is dubious.
Yes, okay.
I want to get back to the media and the bull crap.
And really...
I hope that out of all of this comes two things.
Social media is ineffective, or it's very effective if you like getting sicker than you already were.
And most of the mainstream media cannot be trusted.
In fact, pretty much all of it cannot be trusted.
Just cannot be trusted at all.
And two examples.
One is...
Yeah, this is kind of interesting.
So now the media is eating itself, and everyone's going after Fox News.
This is Joy Reid, who now has taken over Trish Regan's spot.
No, it's not taken over her spot.
She competes against her, I guess.
No, Trish Regan's gone.
Joy Reid took over Chris Matthews' old spot.
So she's got Chris Matthews old spot.
She brought on some, I guess, opinion writer from Vanity Fair, Gabriel Sherman.
Here's what they were talking about.
Yeah, I mean, and to stay with you for a moment, Gabe, I mean, the irony of Fox News is in New York.
It's literally across the street from MSNBC. It's in Rockefeller Plaza.
They are in the middle of it with all of the other New Yorkers.
We saw Trish Regan, who had a show on Fox Business, come out and essentially just label it all a fraud.
She's now no longer there.
I don't know what happened with her show, but I guess it's not airing anymore.
You've had Fox anchors who are as likely as anyone who's on this panel to know someone who gets sick with COVID-19.
I just want to get back to the Fox of it all real quick.
You know, when I've been talking to Fox insiders over the last few days, there is a real concern inside the network that their early downplaying of the coronavirus actually exposes Fox News to potential legal action by viewers who maybe were misled and actually have died from this.
I've heard that Trish Regan's Being taken off the air is, you know, reflective of this concern that Fox News is in big trouble by downplaying this virus.
And the New York Times reported days ago that the Murdoch family was privately taking the coronavirus seriously.
The Murdochs, of course, own Fox News.
So they were taking personal steps to protect themselves, while anchors like Trish Regan and Sean Hannity were telling viewers that it's a hoax and putting themselves potentially in mortal danger.
So I think this is a case where Fox's coverage, if it actually winds up being proved that people died because of it, this is a new terrain in terms of Fox being possibly held liable for their actions.
Oh, brother.
They were just as guilty.
We just played a whole company live.
Exactly the same thing.
To cite the point, Trish Reagan and he never said it was a hoax.
They said that the mainstream media coverage is a hoax.
Yes, which is always the case.
That's nothing new to us.
Everything they do is a hoax.
Now, the president took, during one of his briefings and the question and answer sessions earlier this week, took time.
And I'd like to play it just because he does what we normally do is show media deconstruction.
And he took the time to explain to the CNN journalist why what he was doing is what the president classifies as fake news.
The President is still, even though he repeats it several times, I think that he still needs the complete sentences to help people understand what he's saying.
And the way he does that is just by repeating the same, you know, the stop train from Amsterdam to Rotterdam without really filling in all the blanks.
But what he's trying to say is, you used a quote of mine, and I'd like to talk about headlines with you in a second.
You used a quote of mine in a headline, but only used the first part.
And just to give you a head start, because the president is hard to understand sometimes, most of the time, he says, I want the governors to be proud of me because then you are showing your appreciation for all the people here working on this FEMA, CDC, FDA, the commercial sector, etc., But of course they don't do that, so the way CNN played the quote was, Mr.
Ego wants you to be appreciative of him, and otherwise you don't get helped, which was the gist of the story.
So this reporter, and this is a story from a week ago, this reporter stands up, And they've all done this.
Yamiche Alcindor is on top of the heap of, you said on March 4th at 3.29pm, this was just like the flu.
Are you still in that opinion?
You know, this kind of bullshit.
So here, Trump is, for I think the first and last time, and certainly I'll ever play it, is him explaining to the fake newsman how the fake news works.
I'd also like to ask you about some comments you made on Friday.
You were talking about governors of different states, and you said, I want them to be appreciative.
You also said, if they don't treat you right, I don't call.
These are direct quotes, sir.
Excuse me, ready?
Ready?
Ready?
Take a look at what I said.
I want them to be appreciative of me, okay?
And then you cut it off because it's fake news.
You and of your administration, absolutely.
Please, let me just finish.
You just said it again, and you know the answer's a lie.
I could read you your full comments, sir.
Let me just say.
That would be easier.
Your statement and your response and your answer is a lie.
Because here's the story.
You ready?
I said, I want you to be appreciative of me.
And then you go on.
And then I go on.
And you cut it off.
But it says, because when you're not...
You said, I want them to be appreciative.
I don't want them to say things that aren't true.
I want them to be appreciative.
We've done a great job.
And I'm not talking about me.
I'm talking about Mike Pence, the task force.
I'm talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers.
Thank you.
But then you went on to say, if they don't treat you right, I don't call.
He's a different type of person.
I don't call.
No, I don't call.
So you get what they did is they took out the middle bit and they just said, if you're not appreciative of me, I don't call.
And now the guy is aware he has the full quote.
That's not what they published.
And yet he still doesn't seem to understand what was wrong with what they were doing.
No, I don't call the governor of Washington now.
But Mike Pence calls, and the head of FEMA calls.
I don't stop them.
Did I ever ask you to do anything negative, Mike, to Washington, the state of Washington?
Michigan, I love that state.
That's one of my favorite places in the whole world, Michigan.
And I'm so proud of what's happened with the auto industry.
It's coming back to Michigan.
No, I don't have to call.
Because I'm probably better off not.
Because we don't get...
He's a failed presidential candidate.
He's a nasty person.
I don't like the governor of Washington.
So you know who calls?
I get Mike Pence to call.
I get the head of FEMA to call.
I get the admiral to call.
But what you didn't say...
See, you started it off.
And you talked about...
I have to be appreciated.
But then, when you read the rest, it said, because if you don't appreciate, you're not respecting these incredible people, the two admirals, you're not appreciating FEMA and the Army Corps of Engineers, who built 2,900 beds in three and a half days, and you're not appreciating all of the work that's been done, and you're not appreciating these incredible people.
From private enterprise that are delivering things in numbers that nobody's ever seen.
See?
And that's why people aren't watching CNN very much anymore.
That's why they don't like it.
That's why your ratings are no good.
Because you, even after knowing the truth for days now, you bring up the old lie.
Read the rest of your question, the rest of your statement.
You didn't put in.
You have to put that in.
And it's said in there, FEMA, and it's said in there, Army Corps of Engineers, because when they disrespect me, they're disrespecting our government.
And you know what?
I don't mind if I'm disrespected, but they can't disrespect the Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA. So, I don't think he does a very good job at explaining it.
Well, it seems as though the best way to explain that situation is to have rehearsed the explanation, expecting it, and even better would be to have a chart showing the full statement, showing what they produced, showing a couple of the headlines, and showing what I can do in the newsletter, and I do...
And then making it very clear.
Because trying to explain it just verbally, on the fly, it's not easy.
And he's flustered.
He flubs.
And the guy is a moron.
The guy is sincere.
The reporter, I have to say, and I think you may have to agree.
The guy is sincere.
He just doesn't see it.
No, he doesn't actually see it.
No.
Same thing with that Alcindor woman.
She's blind to, like, anything other than her, whatever she thinks.
She's a Democrat activist.
She's an activist.
She's also on her, because I watch C-SPAN, she's on her phone, and she's getting questions, because it's all live.
She's getting questions from home base on the fly as she's going.
Ask him this.
It's a fucking orange man.
Ask him this.
We know that's what's going on.
Headlines.
Please explain how headlines are created, who does them, and why they do them, because that is the most damaging part of the news industry.
And I'm talking about print in particular, but online, and everybody does it.
What is the point, and why is it dangerous, if at all?
You would know because you understand how headlines happen.
Well, headlines are written by the editors, not by the writers.
Thank you.
90% of the time.
Not always.
Writers can put a headline on there, and if it's a real gem, the editors will let it go.
But generally speaking, the editors like to feel that they're doing something.
And so they'll look over some copy, and then they'll write a headline for it, and they'll put it on there, and then the writer gets blamed.
Oh, that writer!
When in fact, it's the editor who 90% of the time Writes the headline.
And if the writer hates Trump, he'll take something out of context or just make something up or put something there that's jazzy and gets your attention.
The thinking is that the editors know more about how to get attention and the writers know more about how to do the reporting.
And the editors can then edit their reporting and then get some attention by putting a nice headline on there.
And that's pretty much the way it's done in newspapers and magazines.
On websites, I don't know the general policy.
If websites have editors, yeah, obviously the editor will have a shot at it.
But most of the time on really low-end places, which is not CNN, you would just do it yourself and post it.
Right.
Well, what's sad is that a lot of these headlines are so deceptive that it actually screams the opposite of what's in the article or draws your attention to an outrageous point, but the truth is below the fold.
And many of the writers that are out there that are trying to be objective...
Complain bitterly about even if they want to write something that's maybe complimentary or just report what happened, they find a lot of their stories are killed.
It's the editing class of this country that is the stooges, the democrats, the agent provocateurs.
I don't know what you want to call them, advertising.
But that's the class of people that's causing the problem.
More than the writers themselves.
The writers cater to them, of course.
Because you're not going to get in the paper or whatever you're doing.
I mean, this is all dead.
I mean, at some point.
And I think your point earlier that this is because of the advertising, these guys ironically are killing themselves.
That's the best part.
They have to do this because they want to ruin Trump.
And at the same time, they're ruining themselves.
And it's just, it's backfiring.
Everything they're doing is backfiring.
It might be better if they just did the opposite.
Well, I hope, yes.
Yes.
And where most of these are propagated is on Twitter.
I would say Twitter is the main place to get your headlines circulating.
A good Twitter, a good tweet with the right words will get you lots of clicks.
Lots and lots of clicks, but it's just, yeah, ironic is really the only descriptor of it, that through all of this blocking and blacklisting, and by the way, who gave Google and Twitter and all these other jamokes the idea that they know everything about coronavirus and therefore they are the arbiters of truth?
Who made them the boss?
And we know it's coordinated.
They've all agreed to coordinate this.
Yeah, it's beyond me.
Well, people should stop using them.
This is the time.
Go to noagendasocial.com.
This is the time to get off of it.
Because it's not helpful, and it's not healthy.
You can just see it.
Especially if you veer.
Which is hard to do on No Agenda Social.
And by veer, I mean all of a sudden, let's go look at Rob Reiner's feed.
And Rami Reiner, his daughter.
What I like about No Agenda Social...
People have spats and disputes and flames, but it always peters out.
It goes...
Because there's no algo that's jamming in everybody's face.
Oh, look at this!
There's a fight over here!
Look at this!
Look at this thread!
Oh, unroll the thread!
Oh, my God!
Outrageous!
I'm going to show my sword by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
And we, whoa!
Uh-oh.
What dropped?
Something fell over.
Glass of water.
Oh, is it everywhere?
Well, it's not everywhere.
It's on the floor.
Do you need a moment?
I need a moment to get more water, but that's okay.
Let's go with this.
The dog will lick it up.
Don't worry about it.
Russ, we have a few people to thank for show at 1230.
And it's not, is it 1230?
Yeah, 1230.
No, no, no, it's quarter to 12.
Russell Davidson is at the top of the list in Fort Collins, Colorado.
It came out with $133, followed by DC Girl, not a spook, $100.
She calls herself not a spook.
Well, it's because I said she was a spook, and now she has to make sure that she always says she's not a spook, because she's not a spook.
She's just a fine producer.
Which makes it seem she's a spook.
And DC Girl, along with, I think, is it DC Girl?
There's all kinds of jobs, you know, for dudes named Ben, Dudette's named Bernadette.
There's tons of jobs, and she's helping them.
She's posting them on Knowage and the social, so if you want to...
Good for her.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
She's trying to make up for good, lost time.
Some dude named Satesh.
Is that right?
In Locust Grove, Virginia?
Huh.
$100.
Please call me some dude named Satesh.
And this is my second donation.

By the way, he says this is the Governor Cuomo donation.
It's a pierced nipple donation.
8118.
I think is well thought through.
It does look like nipple bars, doesn't it?
Very good.
Thank you, Sir Linesman of the Net.
Funny.
Yeah, well, we got every sort of free thinker that listens to this show.
T. Wooden...
Graniteville, South Carolina, 77-77.
I've got to stop here for a second.
Help, it says.
I see help, so I've got to stop.
I asked for jobs, karma twice before.
Not mentioned.
First time, no karma.
Played second.
Lost the job I had interviewed for, but another job.
Pending.
Help, help, help.
So I'm not sure if it was under donation level or we screwed up.
I'm not taking any risks.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
And we'll throw in a goat.
You've got...
If we messed it up, I want to make sure that that's right.
Yeah, well, that should have fixed it.
I think so.
We do fix things.
People should note that.
So we may mess up a couple of times.
So we've got Nate in Sebastopol, California.
$69.69.
Ellen?
Is it Ellen?
I think it's Ellen.
Elaine, Andrew, I believe, yes.

Thank you.
Dame Jamie.
Yes, Dame Jamie.
We got your name right this time.
And Dame Jamie has a lot of things here.
Let me see.
Sending an F COVID.
I don't think I got that, but anyway.
My brother-in-law fired Department of New York EMS Joe Mazzella has COVID-19.
After 10 days of being miserable, he was transported to Danbury Hospital and admitted for treatment of pneumonia.
That's what it does.
His poor wife is isolated at home and a three-year-old and two-month-old by herself after taking care of them since last Monday.
I did not get an F-COVID jingle, but I'll look for it and we'll definitely play it on Sunday.
But yeah, so this is what you get.
The EMS guys and gals, they're on the front lines and they can easily contract anything.
And it sounds like he got the L strain, especially being in New York.
So we thank him for his courage.
Thank you, Dame Jamie.
Sir Robert Bruckner, 55-55.
For you, Dame Jamie is 58-20.
What did I say?
You didn't say anything.
Okay, 5820.
Sir Robert Bruckner, 5555.

Metairie?
Yeah.
Oh, isn't that odd?
I read it as Metairie.
Yeah, it's just pronounced Metairie down there.
Thank you for maintaining your high standards while everyone is lowering theirs to virtue signal.
Yes, good point.
My son Ben, a knight in waiting, and I appreciate all the hard work.
And he's a ham, KAC5DDY, and I say 73s from K5ACC. Laura Wilson, also double nickels on the dime, from Sammamish, Washington.

See some $49.99s there who wish to remain anonymous.
And that's when the 33s and the 11s and the 20s kick in for our subscriptions.
Thank you all very much.
I want to thank all of these donors.
For what they've done for the show and supporting it today.
This is where you've got to wrap up with something, John, since we've switched roles.
Ah, yes!
Yes, we do want to thank everyone.
We have a lot of people that have subscriptions and contribute all sorts of different ways.
I want to add one to this thing, which should be a $200 donation.
I want to put him in as associate executive producer, but I'm not going to account for it because it's sent kind of a...
Yes.
So I assume one of them is supposed to go to you, even though they're both packaged differently.
It's a very small coin from the Royal Mint.
Yes.
And it's a very small silver coin.
It's not really a big coin, but they seem to be selling them.
And this is Jason Zeisler in Renner, South Dakota.
He sent two of these coins, and it celebrates the Brexit.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's nice.
It's put out a coin with Queen Elizabeth.
It says it's 50 pence.
It's a 50 pence silver coin, even though it costs $100.
So...
And so we're adding him as a...
I'll make him as an associate executive producer, give him credit for $200, and he can add it to his accounting.
Okay, but we'll put him in the credits then, as well?
Yeah, we'll put him in the credits as an associate executive producer.
Let me just write it down, then, because, you know, otherwise these things...
I'd remember as we produced it later.
Yeah, sure.
Jason, I do.
Sure, sure.
I'll remember all that.
I'll never forget.
I'm like an elephant.
Okay, thank you all, everybody.
That was...
It's just appreciated.
I love that our model is hanging together.
We're all helping each other.
We're all producing the show.
And we're continuing.
And we look a hell of a lot better than mainstream all of a sudden.
Isn't that amazing how that works?
Thank you.
And for all who needed some jobs karma.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yay!

No Agenda Meetups!
It's not your party!
Yes, it's like a party, only the parties aren't happening too much, unfortunately.
Due to the Rona, there's just not a lot that can be done.
However, I do have a belated meetup report from Kansas City.
This was held on March 28th.
In the morning, no agenda nation.
I think this was the dog park, John.
Remember the people who were going to meet in the dog park?
I don't know how it turned out.
We're about to find out.
In the morning, no agenda nation.
This is Sir Spencer, Wolf of Kansas City.
And this is Dame DeLorean.
Thank you for your courage.
We are here at Swope Park, off-leash dog park, because dogs are people, too.
Well, this is, of course...
Dogs are people, too.
You heard it, because you got dog people.
Dogs are people, too.
And, uh...
It's just us.
We've been in for the meet-up, so...
We're still holding it down for the KC meet-up.
It's happening.
Despite...
What government regulations dictate.
We're still here for you if you want to meet up.
Keep an eye on Nogindameetups.com for future KC meetups.
And hopefully see you last Saturday of the month next month.
So they went dogging by themselves.
No one showed up.
I feel bad about that.
Good try.
And I appreciate the extra editing.
That was interesting.
We did have our first No Agenda video meetup.
Video, video, video, video.
This is sent to me by producer Mary.
Mary says, well, it was pretty good.
Pretty good.
We had three Americans and a Scandinavia online.
This is one for the history books.
The first video meetup was actually a great success.
No technology bugs, and we had a stimulating conversation for almost two hours.
Subject matters were across the board, starting out with who had been listening to No Agenda the longest.
The youngest in the group had been listening since episode 13.
A couple of folks were devotees of John C. Dvorak from the PCMag days.
The consensus was to schedule another video meetup, check the calendar, and join from wherever you are.
Even John and Adam are welcome to drop in.
No excuses, you won't be in town!
Next time I'll try and set up a recording at the end to share an audio report.
A closing note was, don't forget to tip your podcaster.
Mary, thank you very much for the report.
And I think these are scheduled on a regular basis at noagendasocial.com.
It's just posted and everyone jumps in and there's phone call, phone numbers to dial into and video or audio.
It's very...
Ad hoc, although some of these, I guess, are being scheduled at NoAgendaMeetups.com, so check there to see if it can be a little more organized, and it sounds like it's happening.
Then from the back office, just what's happening on the calendar for Friday, tomorrow, downtown Dallas, unknown if this is on or canceled.
It was supposed to be a birthday meetup for Sir Paul today.
So we do wish him a very happy birthday if nothing else comes to it.
That's supposed to be organized by Sir Paul, the trusted advisor, and Dame G Money.
Hopefully they'll adjust that on noagendameetups.com.
The New York City Saturday meetup postponed.
Postpone until in-person meetups can resume.
We'd like to schedule a virtual meetup.
Defy our overlords!
Meet at a public park.
Defy our overlords!
Meet at our home in Brooklyn.
Let us know fearlessly.
Athena, Alex, and the little one.
Winter Park, Florida.
Brandon E., unclear if that's on or not for Saturday.
And the worldwide virtual meetup on Saturday.
Shaheen is organizing.
Why not grab a beer and some mac and cheese?
Enjoy this time with citizens from around the world.
Thanks to the help of a few dudes named Ben, we will be meeting on the NA Jitsi server at meetup.jit.c.noagenda.
Again, best to go to noagendameetups.com to get all the details.
And when is that?
That'll be Saturday.
I might even join in for that one if we can.
And then we have Saturday in Brooklyn, backyard, Ralph Avenue in Fulton.
I live upstairs and for the time being have a whole backyard to myself.
So, come by at dusk.
Bring firewood!
Bring your own bee and bring your own jams.
Gingy is the organizer.
So please, everybody, post your updates at noagendasocial.com.
I'm going to say noagendameetups.com so that we can inform everybody if they're on or not, and especially the video meetups.
Let's make sure we keep the information up to date.
Noagendameetups.com.
The No Agenda Meetups, whether they're in person or virtual, they're like a party!
Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
You wanna be where you want me.
Triggered on hell's flame.
You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Just like a party.
So I have a clip following up on Laura Logan's new show.
Oh, yes, that show where she has no agenda.
Yeah, I was thinking about that, by the way, because there's still some old webpages where it says no agenda with.
And I was thinking, she must be actually pleased that we made mention of this through attorneys.
Because don't you think you'd rather be Adam Curry has no agenda rather than no agenda with?
Because that means you're expendable.
That's a good point.
That's a good point.
So she has to be happy with us.
Yeah.
Because I'm sure the network wouldn't have done it, but they had to do it.
Now, you've actually just brought something up that we've never talked about.
We don't need to delve into it, but we did come to...
We figured it all out with her.
Is that the way to put it?
Pretty much.
Okay.
With her producers.
It's not her.
She doesn't probably even know.
Right.
But they probably actually...
I bet you they gaslighted her and said, you know, Laura, we think it should be changed the name because you should be in front.
Your name should be at the top.
I bet you they did.
I give her a little more credit.
I think she's very smart and she knows exactly what's going on.
And she probably knows about No Agenda.
I think she does.
But meanwhile, I've got the teaser from her first show, which is about Mexican cartels.
And it's not so much that I wanted, you know, people don't do these things.
They go to Mexico and they get a bullet shot at them and then they leave.
But there was a there's a tidbit of information in here that I think the millennials should be paying very careful attention to at the end.
Human smuggling entrapped now a global multi-billion dollar industry that the Mexican cartels have added to their criminal portfolio, along with money laundering, extortion, oil theft from pipelines, and control of the multi-billion dollar avocado industry.
You're supporting drug cartels by eating avocado toast.
Who knew?
Ha ha!
Well, that's the best piece of information from the entire show.
If it was a clip that I could...
Well, you know what?
Screw it.
What am I saying?
It is a good clip.
You're good for it.
Clip of the day.
You're good for it.
Dynamite.
Saved it to the end, too.
Well done.
Well, I also have, just to get it out of the way, I got the Rachel Maddow.
Everybody took and produced this thing a different way.
Everybody's got this one, I'm sure.
Everybody made a version of this, because Rachel Maddow, again, made a fool of herself, because within a couple of days of Trump saying he's going to send some hospital ship to New York, it showed up.
But, you know, Gratia wasn't having any of it, and here we go.
The president said when he announced that those ships would be put into action against the COVID-19 epidemic, he said one of those ships would be operational in New York Harbor by next week.
That's nonsense.
It will not be there next week.
And the naval hospital ship, the USNS Comfort, you see it right there on your screen, has just docked in New York City.
The ship will be used to house non-coronavirus patients, and that in itself will free up the city's hospital care to focus primarily on those with the virus.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo will brief media there at the top of the hour.
We're going to bring that to you live as soon as that gets underway.
NBC's Rahima.
Yeah.
Same source, NBC. I mean, I'm now wondering, because there's a bunch of these things coming up with her, if they're setting her up.
I don't believe she writes all this stuff for her own show.
It's too much work.
I watched her.
I mean, I pretty much will sample everything every night.
So I'm looking at, of course, the Cuomo kid and see if he's still alive.
And Maddow is just...
Is he sheltering in place?
Is he still in the air?
Yeah, he's sick.
Chris?
Yeah, he said that he had a 103 fever the night before, but he's still hanging in there, and he and Don Lemon are crying together.
Yeah.
If I had the Rona, I'd continue for as long as I could to.
I wouldn't stop.
I wouldn't make a big deal about it.
I'd just do it and shut up about it and move on.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what you do.
Well, they needed to make the big announcement to take the spotlight off the nipple piercings.
Now, I have to say, I haven't had time to delve into Nipplegate, but is this true?
Does he have pierced nipples?
Is this a thing?
There's no denial.
Where's the denial?
Huh.
Cuomo should go on the mic.
He gets on the air every day.
And he goes on the mic and says, by the way, after we've closed this hospital, I would like to announce that I do not have nipple piercings.
I wear my suspenders under my shirt.
That's what he could say.
Okay.
Which is what somebody suggested, by the way.
This is a big plus for a presidential run, though.
Yeah, I think I made it clear in the newsletter that, yeah, that's exactly what people would be saying in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and not so much in Omaha.
Hold on, hold on.
Ladies and gentlemen, hold on.
We have emergency news.
We now officially have over one million cases of coronavirus.
Virus!
Yes!
Adios!
Thank you.
Yeah, actually that number's been going back and forth since yesterday.
I heard a million then, too.
Well, it just happened now, according to the Troll Room.
Sure, well.
But we all know how it works, yes.
But let's get back to Rachel Maddow.
You think she's being set up?
That's interesting.
Well, it may be because she's losing her numbers after she's been losing her numbers consistently.
Well, you know what she's doing wrong.
She still has a studio-like environment.
She should go home.
She needs to go home, do it in the closet, or whatever looks right.
Well, she's been out of the closet for some time.
See, that was such an open door, it didn't even crack a smile for me.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry.
But when somebody throws me a softball, I have to hit it.
I was referring more to me being in the Cluedio, a closet studio.
Yeah, no, I got the joke.
Now, you have to assume that there's people like the Joy Reads and some of these other people don't like Rachel because she lords it over everybody over there.
Her numbers are down, and you've been in these environments.
People in, especially this third tier of broadcasting...
They're very, you know, they're aggressive at getting rid of someone so they can take their place and, you know, they want to move up.
And I mean, that's how it would happen to Chris Matthews.
He got ousted.
He's an old man.
Let's get rid of him and put Joy Reid in.
You know, she's probably been working it.
The whole thing is creepy.
Yeah, there's probably a lot of creepy stuff going on at NBC in general.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, we have to alert the affiliates who are probably pissed off because we're running way past our slot.
I have one more report you want to play to get a little actual news in.
I do.
Can I guess which one it is?
Yeah, try.
UBI on PBS Cutoff.
I can play that, but that's not what I was going to play.
Okay, what were you going to play?
I wanted to play contrast the PBS report on the Houthis and what's going on in Saudi Arabia with Saudi Arabia with the with an actual report from Al Jazeera.
OK, that's good.
Some news deconstruction to play us out.
So let's start with the piss poor report, an 18 second report.
This is all the effort that PBS has.
And the Saudi led coalition fighting in Yemen says Houthi rebels.
Is this a piss poor report?
No, I'm sorry.
Sorry.
It was coincidentally also 17 seconds long.
Here we go, 18 seconds.
Saudi Arabia is being accused of torture and other crimes against civilians in Yemen.
Human Rights Watch reports that Saudi military forces and their Yemeni allies have committed a long series of abuses.
The Saudis are backing the Yemeni government against Shiite rebels who are allied with Iran.
That's it?
That's the one that talks about the Shiite rebels.
We played this clip about them a few weeks ago.
Shiite rebels.
Never mentions Houthis.
Doesn't give us any background.
Doesn't do anything.
So in that same amount of time, first I have the short version of the report from Al Jazeera.
This is the Houthis attack Saudis.
This is the same 17 seconds.
I would play that.
And the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen says Houthi rebels have attacked Saudi Arabia.
The coalition says the kingdom's air defense systems intercepted two ballistic missiles targeting Riyadh and the southern city of Jizan on Saturday.
People living in the capital say they heard at least three explosions.
So now apparently there's missile attacks going on.
We're talking about the Houthis.
I mean, PBS gave us none of this, so let's continue with Al Jazeera and play the extended report so we actually now know something.
Witnesses in Riyadh said they heard three explosions in the sirens of emergency vehicles in the north of the city.
Houthi rebels have frequently launched missiles from Yemen into Saudi Arabia, retaliation for its involvement in Yemen's now five-year civil war.
The last strike on Riyadh was in June 2018.
Another Houthi attack took out two major oil installations last September that nearly halved Saudi oil output.
This one was only two missiles and this is why I believe that all of this is a PR stunt from the Houthis to appear stronger than they actually are.
Fighting has intensified recently, with the Houthis expanding their territory by taking control of Aljof province near the Saudi border and looking to advance on the oil-rich province of Marib, where there's been fierce fighting in recent weeks.
They are running hard and fast right now, so I think it's very clear to me, at any rate, that these will have come from the Houthis, This is a message, if you will, to the Saudis that you are vulnerable to us and we have the capability to hit you pretty well anywhere we would choose.
Yemen is enduring one of the world's worst humanitarian crises.
Millions are without enough food or medical supplies.
Just this week, the UN tried to convince warring factions to implement terms of a ceasefire agreement signed in Stockholm two years ago, saying a ceasefire is all the more necessary during the coronavirus pandemic.
While Yemen has no confirmed cases, Saudi Arabia has more than 1,200, the most in the Gulf region.
This government video shows its lockdown in effect.
It has barred all travel and is asking people to stay home.
Beyond the pandemic, it's also in a battle against Russia over oil.
Their price war has sent oil plummeting to a 17-year low, with plans to pump even more oil into global stocks from Wednesday.
With oil demand dropping daily, prices may follow.
Saudi Arabia fighting on multiple fronts, but still holding up its defenses for now.
Man, nice explosion at the end.
Sure gives credence to the booby trap theory, doesn't it?
Yeah, there's a lot going on, and none of it's being covered.
And I had to really play that comparison between what PBS gave us, which is no mention of the Houthis at all.
Piss poor was exactly the way to describe it, is exactly what it was.
Yes, citizen, don't be alarmed.
We're here on official business.
So, anyway, I think that...
Well, let's play the UBI cutoff.
Oh, man.
No, let's keep it.
Let's keep it for Sunday.
I've already got the...
The affiliates are ready.
I've got the outro music running.
Oh, okay.
Well, then we're done.
Yeah.
I mean, that comes from Central Command.
We can't even stop it now.
We're running late.
Somewhat.
Well, I hope you enjoyed your deconstruction for today.
Please remember, this is a producer-produced show.
And you're it.
Tag...
So please remember us at thevorak.org slash NA. Thank you all for your insights, your information.
Anonymous or not, it's incredibly appreciated, and it helps us collectively understand what's going on here.
I think we got a little bit further, but we'll continue to work on it.
As the elites continue to...
Give us bits of information.
Remember, there are no secrets, only information you don't yet have.
And coming to you from Austin, Texas, FEMA Region No.
6, Opportunity Zone 33 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the traffic is light.
And so are the skies.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
Coming up on NoAgendaStream.com, we have random thoughts, end-of-show mixes from Tom Starkweather, Sir Chris Wilson, Leo Lepuke, and Danny Lose.
Until Sunday, everybody.
Adios, mofos!
One in every four species of mammal on Earth is a bat.
But by golly, they know that Kevin Durant just got diagnosed with the coronavirus.
So this is how a good operation works.
Species of mammal on Earth is a bat.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
The border, however, stays open, as evidence shows a border shutdown doesn't work.
Yes.
With Mar-a-Lago, over 480,000 deaths.
Understand that the way you get to that number is you do nothing.
Mar-a-Lago, virus.
Many people asking, why not?
My question is to address the COVID-19 threat as we attack the health and safety or protect the health and safety.
Indeed.
Let's be Italian.
The United States is slow at testing, so this is testing being ramped up.
That's why we're now testing.
At the end of the day.
From cholera to Ebola and beyond.
No, no, no, no, no.
This connection between climate crisis.
Home and family.
They don't care what dad said.
A border shutdown doesn't work.
It's the origin of where the virus first came out of that.
What we have to remember is the virus.
So this is borders.
The border is not going to contain the virus.
Many people are asking, why not?
The problem is you do nothing.
The U.S.-China relationship.
One in every four species.
One in the blue.
That's wrong.
Coronavirus has hit the high country with two confirmed cases.
Our top priority to address the COVID-19 crisis.
My question is...
When we need to have two...
We need to have a division when we need it the most.
So many people do important point.
Wow!
Oh my!
From cholera.
Testing the important point.
Least the coronavirus at the end of the day.
From cholera.
Two folks came out in Wuhan.
That has been a restriction of 10 people in a gathering, in an outdoor area or in a shopping centre or anything like this.
The advice now is that, and I should stress that that 10 person limit, that is enforceable now in most states and territories and can carry very significant on-the-spot fines.
That advice has now been strengthened to say that it should be reduced to two persons.
I see infected people fall And the terror of it all Broadcast on my TV Create the panic Designed to swell My poor amygdala as well Social distance,
you and me Just the two of us If we wanna go outside Just the two of us Just the two of us, just the two of us Anymore we're gonna die, just the two of us You and I are projection models.
Bernie, can you hear me?
Tell them the truth.
They can handle it.
It's an incredibly...
The model.
...dark topic.
An incredibly horrible topic.
The model.
It's incredibly interesting.
Projection model.
But he's been very generous to me.
The model.
I got him ships.
I got him hospitals.
The model.
A lot of things that...
And the model, by the way...
He had paid...
The model assumptions and presumptions...
It's hard to envision that.
Again, we should listen to the scientist.
But right now, we have to listen to the scientist.
So, when you talk about second wave, I think you're really talking about two different things that are a little bit different.
So, for example, in early June, we could well have the coronavirus largely behind us.
But I want to give people hope, too.
You know, I'm a cheerleader for the country.
We're going through the worst thing that the country's probably ever seen.
Bernie, can you hear me?
Listen to the scientist.
You should listen to the scientist and two different things that are a little bit different.
Go home!
Go home!
There's a stay-at-home order!
Well, I just ran out of all my TP. Costco, Walmart, Target are all empty.
I'm so scared there's no hand sanitizer.
No sport, so I'm betting on the weather.
Wife to the left of me Children to the right Here I am Stuck inside the house with you Stuck inside the house with you And I'm running out of stuff I can do And it's hard to keep from touching my face With this social distancing shelter in place Wife to the left of me.
Children to the right.
Here I am stuck inside the house with you.
Stay at home order!
Food and liquor is all gone and all the bars around are closed.
