	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Sunday, April 19th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media assassination episode 1235.
	This is No Agenda.
	Doing it for Pop Pop!
	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 they're forcing us to wear face masks.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning!
	Is that in your rules?
	You gotta wear face masks everywhere now?
	Not today, but starting soon.
	Really?
	We already have that.
	I think our face mask stuff is already in place.
	We have the new guidelines.
	We're opening up.
	Texas is going to be leading.
	I'm very excited.
	We're getting out of jail.
	Yeah, I didn't notice you guys were even down.
	You weren't even down for the count.
	Yeah, we've been kind of locked up.
	Before we do anything, since I figured we'd turn the tables for a moment, since every mainstream outlet is at home and they're broadcasting from their house, Sounding like crap.
	Sounding like total crap, but that's where they're broadcasting from.
	Why don't we show them how we can do their job just as well?
	You know, the studio audience, the opening, like the view.
	Like, take the view for a moment.
	You know how they open up and they've got all their topics and what's going on.
	Let's show the view how No Agenda does it.
	In the morning, Gitmo Nation.
	On today's episode, the gentlemen of the No Agenda Show will spin the wheel of the United States to discover who's the next to protest.
	So exciting.
	Also, how are the elites continuing to abuse the terrible Rona data to take away our liberty now that President Trump has outlined a three-stage plan?
	Those are the facts of this world, and you will all surrender to them, you pigs in human clothing.
	And you slaves should get used to your crappy mac and cheese.
	Most of your favorite restaurants are just not going to make it.
	Then we'll have an international perspective on how countries outside of the U.S. are continuing to deal with Corona, Corona, Corona.
	Of course, there'll be plenty of humor and media deconstruction to keep your amygdala healthy.
	Now let's hear from John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry.
	Hey!
	Hi, everybody!
	Hi, John!
	Hi!
	Hey Adam, I'm here at home.
	That's right.
	I'm here at home.
	I'm at home and you can see behind me that I have nothing on my walls and I lead a vapid life.
	Yes.
	There we go.
	Thank you, Dame Jennifer.
	I thought that was pretty good.
	She nails it, man.
	She's developing her chops.
	She totally, totally gets it.
	Yes, chops.
	That's exactly what it is.
	Well, no sooner had our show ended on Thursday, but yes, we got the announcement with the multi-stage approach to every state, maybe right down to the county level, reopening and rejoining American society.
	However, amidst all the excitement about that, a fast one was pulled on us with the data.
	And no one really talked about it.
	This is where I'm waiting to see if you heard anything about...
	Go on!
	Well, gone were the models.
	The healthdata.org model was gone, and that is the Murray model, and gone were the other.
	There was no mention of the models, nothing at all.
	We have a new chart!
	And it happened just, it was like a magic trick, so well performed because it happened right in front of your eyes, no one said anything, no one questions it.
	It started with Pence, after the president did his typical thing, how great we are, and Pence just threw it out there.
	Governors at every level, our healthcare workers, and our fellow Americans, we've saved lives.
	And every American should be comforted by that.
	And we can see it in the numbers.
	In the charts that I'll present today, these three maps track influenza-like illness, which in this instance is mostly coronavirus across America.
	The first map reflects the total number of cases on the week ending March the 28th.
	The next map reflects our data about the total number of cases on the week ending April 4th.
	And we stand here today with the final map reflecting the total number of cases across America as of April the 11th.
	With these trends underway, President Trump tasked the White House Coronavirus Task Force to develop new guidelines for opening up America again.
	Now, I'm real happy that we're going to get new guidelines for opening up America again, but these new trends?
	You can't just introduce a whole new chart with different data and say it's a trend.
	Save or create it, baby!
	And I took the liberty of posting this chart, John, so you can take a look.
	You can find it at covidbullcrap.com.
	Somebody got smart for it.
	I did that.
	You did.
	Yeah, I did that.
	COVIDbullcrap.com.
	Definitely go there.
	And you can see this chart.
	I'll bring it up myself here.
	And we're going to listen to Dr.
	Birx walk us through it.
	Now, what you're seeing here, and visual for the people who aren't seeing it, is the different influenza cases that Starting in 2009 to 2010, all the way to the current cycle.
	And it's interesting because this is the exact chart that I got so much flack for when I asked on the tweeters, and Scott Adams went berserk over the question.
	I said, hey, if this is the influenza for 2019-2020, it's dropping off the cliff, what happened?
	And of course, everybody had a reason, a question.
	And lo and behold, this exact chart is now being used as the trend line for getting rid of it, but it has nothing to do with COVID-19.
	This is an established system.
	It is called the Influenza-Like Illness Reporting System or Network.
	Which has been in place for a long time, and doctors have systems and ways to get the information very quickly, very easily, proven over time, which is exactly what was lacking with coronavirus.
	Just chatting everybody, marking everybody up as died from coronavirus, just propping it into some spreadsheet somewhere.
	There's more money in it.
	Of course there's more money in it.
	Which is actually one of the, perhaps, side reasons why they might have done this.
	But let's listen to Dr.
	Birx explain what's going on here.
	No apology for disappearance of the previous models or any of the trends that we were waiting for or peak or flattening the curve.
	This is a complete...
	Surge!
	It's not even the same data!
	Alright, follow along at covidbullcrap.com.
	In addition, the CDC has the influenza-like illness net distributed throughout the United States.
	Very useful in the wintertime.
	At first peak is influenza B in the red.
	That's this season.
	I showed you all the seasons here so you could see the seasons as they are displayed.
	The first peak is influenza B, second peak influenza A, and then you can see the coronavirus.
	Now, hold on a second.
	Wow, that's a good one.
	Is this unbelievable?
	So we're looking at a trend line, which, by the way, is not the highest.
	2017-2018 season was significantly higher.
	Yeah, that's when they kill a bunch of people.
	And the 2009-2010, well, yes, the 2017-2018 season, we know that the hospitals were stretched, and there were news articles about it, but no one yelling and screaming and crying for help, the way we saw with coronavirus.
	Masks.
	So what she just says there is, and this is the influenza-like surveillance network.
	And if someone comes in.
	By the way, it could be mentioned that based on the influenza-like illness, that means that during this three peaks that she's talking about, the A, the B, and the corona.
	Yeah.
	They could all be just a mix.
	Could all be corona.
	Could all be influenza A, B.
	Could be all.
	Well, let's let Burks finish, and then we'll have the CDC director really punch at home.
	You can see its decline, and it's declining towards baseline.
	This will allow us, again, city by city, community by community, state by state, to look for variations in an early response mode in those localities that I described.
	So I'm fine with this, but if you really look at this data, so you're telling me coronavirus was not around, even though we see this spike, which they're saying, oh, that was influenza B. I thought one of them didn't show up at all this year.
	Maybe that was coronavirus, and maybe that was the coronavirus spike.
	No, they had the two things.
	They had A and B both.
	They had A and B? All right.
	Listen to the CDC director go in a little bit more depth about what is reported here.
	Remember, it's just an influenza-like illness.
	It's not coronavirus.
	Influenza-like could be drippy nose, sore throat.
	I now have an influenza-like illness report.
	But we've also developed a system to monitor for upper respiratory tract disease.
	If I can get the first slide there.
	This is an example because when we talk about what we know about this current pandemic, the reality is we know a lot because we've developed these monitoring systems.
	Up on the slide is a system that we've developed initially for flu.
	And what it does, as you can see, there's multiple different flu seasons, and they track them over the course of a year.
	I want you to look at the red line, and that happens to be this year's respiratory season.
	And you see there's a peak.
	There, up over the 50-52 week.
	So, that's the peak right at the end of the year, in December, when lots of people were sick and they went and got tested.
	It wasn't influenza, but they had a lot of symptoms similar to COVID, but can't be that.
	And that peak was when we actually had a peak of influenza B. This year was a little different, because after that, Viral syndrome came down, and you can see it that actually we had another peak, and that's when influenza A was active through our country.
	And you can see influenza A started to drop, but then you saw a third peak.
	That peak was, you were looking at the coronavirus 19.
	Just because I say so!
	So we have systems all the way down to the county level that we can see where there's respiratory tract illness.
	Which is not the same as the actual coronavirus.
	It's just respiratory illness.
	It's just driving me crazy.
	And so it's not just taking a test.
	It's monitoring these systems that have been developed over the last, over decades.
	And we have multiple ones.
	We have another one that is monitored in emergency rooms looking at syndrome diagnosis.
	And they show the same thing.
	So we're well equipped to monitor to see when respiratory tract viral disease will come and becomes a very good surrogate for when you can begin to understand that we need to start looking more etiologically about what's going on.
	Etiologically?
	What does that mean?
	Is that different from ideologically?
	It is a word.
	Ideologically?
	I've never heard that.
	I think it's I-D-I something.
	It's some term.
	I've heard it before.
	Like ideal as in ideal?
	No, no, no.
	It's got nothing to do with anything.
	It's not anything to do with ideal.
	It's something else.
	I'll try to find it.
	Viral disease will come and becomes a very good surrogate for when you can begin to understand that we need to start looking more ideologically about what's going on.
	You can see now in week 15 we're really coming down to the baseline background in terms of our flu surveillance system from the overall coronavirus situation right now.
	Etiologically.
	E-T-I. That's it.
	Thank you, trolls.
	Of relating to or based on etiology or etiologic treatment of disease seeks to remove or correct its cause.
	Don't use those words!
	Anyway, I'm over my anger because Thursday I was just like, it's clear.
	We were conned.
	We were conned with bullshit data.
	Yeah, well, it comes and it goes.
	It comes and it goes, honestly.
	Sons of bitches!
	That's exactly how I feel.
	They put us into this based upon a two million death model.
	That model was revised four times.
	Two million Americans dead.
	Four times that this has happened.
	And now, well, we got 60,000.
	And don't look over here.
	Look over here.
	Look at this chart.
	That red line's going down.
	And based upon this chart now, so just...
	Well, not only based on this chart, but this will be a big factor in getting everybody back to work because it's safe.
	And although the mainstream...
	It's too late now.
	Although the mainstream...
	No, of course not.
	So, testing.
	Fauci did, Dr.
	Fauci, America's doctor, also known as the Angel of Death, he did a long thing about testing on Friday, at least 15 minutes, and after you woke up, you're like, huh?
	Because you got testing, and this is important.
	I don't know if he's intentionally confusing everybody, but it's just completely stupid.
	The key metric, this is the only metric you need to look at.
	Interestingly, it's not on this chart.
	The key metric is more tests, upward testing, and downward positive cases of those tests.
	And that divergence will show you actually what's going on.
	At least that's what they're telling us.
	But some interesting data has showed up in a homeless shelter, which the CDC has reviewed and is quite excited about.
	At Pine Street Inn in Boston's South End, universal COVID-19 testing leading to new stunning evidence about the asymptomatic spread of the virus.
	It was like a double knockout punch because the number of positives was shocking to us, but then the fact that 100% of the positives had no symptoms was equally shocking.
	Dr.
	Jim O'Connell, president of Boston Health Care for the Homeless program, says broad-scale testing was carried out at this shelter about a week and a half ago because of a small cluster of cases.
	The findings, now actively being examined by the CDC, 146 positive cases, about 36% of the shelter's population, all asymptomatic.
	It probably, frankly, raises more questions than it answers.
	Pine Street President Lyndia Downey says the results prove the previous screening method of only testing those showing symptoms to be ineffective.
	I think there are so many asymptomatic people right now that if we could do universal testing, the number may look close.
	I don't think we know.
	The universal testing at Pine Street Inn and testing of the homeless at BMC bringing Boston South End to number one in the city with the highest rate of COVID-19 infection.
	Of the 146 people at Pine Street Inn who tested positive, health officials tell us only one needed hospital care and many have not experienced any symptoms.
	So that's pretty interesting if you've got this kind of spread.
	That's 36% of this homeless shelter had it without symptoms.
	We have the situation developing in South County here in Santa Clara, where they're starting to test people and finding that, which is the hot spot in the area.
	Yes, I have a clip.
	We also...
	Actually, it's Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida talking about what you're mentioning here.
	We also, one of the most important studies that's been done just this week came out at Stanford University where they tested the antibodies in Santa Clara County, California.
	And so these are people who have the antibodies from the coronavirus.
	The thought is that they had acquired the virus.
	Many of them may not have known that they had had it.
	But they look to see how prevalent those antibodies were in that county.
	And they determined that Yeah.
	I see this as extremely good news.
	Yeah.
	But we can't stop now.
	There's a surge coming.
	It's going to peak in a couple of weeks, and the hospitals are going to be overwhelmed, and you should stay social distancing and close the restaurants and everything and stay home because you can't take a chance.
	You can't take a chance.
	So, you know, I think the Democrats who are in full-on politicization mode, they're obviously trying to get these committees together and whatever groups to impeach the president.
	He has to be impeached because he acted too late.
	He was too short.
	He was too slow.
	And he said good things.
	He said there wasn't going to be a problem.
	And there was a problem.
	And he said there wasn't going to be a problem.
	So he has to be impeached because he says there wasn't going to be a problem.
	Yes, I think I had Kamala Harris saying something similar to that.
	Let me see.
	Is she still vying for the VP job with Joe?
	She's a good woman.
	I think there is...
	That's a pretty good joke.
	I think there is no question whatsoever that his failure to take this seriously, from the time of calling it a hoax to getting rid of the Obama administration's focus through the White House on pandemics...
	Whatever that means, Kamala.
	Is that your version of the guy who got kicked out, who was retiring anyway from the National Security Council?
	Okay.
	To him trivializing the issue, including the importance of social distancing.
	Trivializing.
	And frankly, his lies.
	Like!
	There is no question that had we a president in charge who actually took their responsibility seriously, that we would probably be looking at a lot less damage than we have incurred.
	And yes, and the damage is measured by that ticker we watch every day.
	Of the number of people infected and the number of people who are dead.
	Dead!
	We are, every day, hearing and watching stories about body bags.
	How many stories about body bags have you seen?
	What stories about body bags?
	Trust me, if there was a body bag story, I'd be playing it.
	I think we've had one guy mention body bags, and that was Tedros is the only one who's mentioned body bags.
	Tedros body bags.
	So, look, the buck stops with the president.
	And there is no question that it is actually, I believe, not a debatable point at this point about the fact that he has abandoned his role of leadership and meaning the role of the president of the United States.
	He's not going to act like a president.
	He doesn't understand the job.
	So, you know, yeah, I absolutely am going to do everything I can to elect Joe Biden to be the next president of the United States.
	Pick me, Joe.
	Please pick me.
	It is so transparent what she's all about there.
	Of course, that's the narrative from the politicized narrative.
	Trump has blood on his hands, acted too late, trivialized it, lied.
	And Trump is pointing squarely at the World Health Organization, which I think more and more people are seeing the validity in that.
	But he also answers questions directly about now, which I think is now common knowledge not completely confirmed, that this was leaked from a bio lab, which I think we were called conspiracy theorists, not job tinfoil hat wearers for just two months ago.
	It appears that that was true.
	I have an article I want to read.
	I can't get anybody to run this as a voice.
	It's a short article.
	And this is the one that floated around just recently, the 2008.
	And by the way, the Nobel Prize winners are coming out of the woodwork to commentary on this coronavirus.
	But this is a 2008 Nobel Prize winner for medicine.
	He says COVID-19 was manipulated for HIV research.
	And this is the best article I found that...
	It kind of explains it, because it does kind of put all the pieces together, because we've seen a lot of dots about this and that, and then we have all these variations that have shown up out of the blue.
	This actually kind of explains it.
	You mean like the different strains?
	Yeah, the different strains.
	But according to Professor Luc Montagnier, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine, he discovered HIV is the cause of AIDS.
	He knows this.
	He says that the SARS-CoV-2 response for the COVID pandemic is a virus that was accidentally released from a lab in Wuhan.
	It was the last quote, and he says when.
	He knows about this.
	He says this was – he claims that this was a genetically modified for the purposes of developing AIDS – HIV vaccines.
	And so there's many times you have to do something to some other organism to get more HIV out of it for the lab.
	Yeah, that's the, what do you call that?
	The term, I just forgot.
	Grow it, you've got to enhance it.
	No, enlarge it.
	Ah, some term for it.
	Yeah, okay.
	He says, in order to insert an HIV sequence into this gene, molecular tools are needed.
	They can only be done in a lab.
	The good news is, nature does not accept any molecule tinkering.
	It will eliminate these unnatural changes.
	And even if nothing is done, it will get better, but unfortunately, after many deaths.
	And he did a podcast, unfortunately, in French.
	So he says that this thing is just deteriorating naturally in the wild, because it's not meant to be in the wild.
	And it was done for a purpose.
	It wasn't a bioweapon.
	And it's accounting for...
	He doesn't say this, but it seems to be accounting for all these variations, these various strains, which are all over the place now, which is just more...
	As the thing degrades, it is degenerating.
	Yes, the term for growing it is embiggen.
	Embiggen.
	Yeah.
	We use it on the blog.
	Well, this is interesting, and if you send me that, I'll put it in the show notes, because...
	That would possibly implicate Fauci and his group because that's what they do.
	That is their wheelhouse.
	All of this HIV research is Fauci and Birx.
	So he would know about it.
	I think there's a lot of people that know about it.
	I want to play a series of clips from Democracy Now!
	Here's what bothers me.
	Why is everybody getting so bent out of shape?
	Why do you get bent out of shape with the suggestion, the mere suggestion, that a lab in the same area where this thing popped up might, might, just might be responsible?
	And it so happens that the lab is working on COVID-19, working on the coronavirus and other things.
	Why is it so bad for you to even consider the possibility that this is – what's wrong with that?
	So let's listen to origin story one.
	Here we are in Democracy Now!
	Amy is completely bent out of shape about these theories.
	The White House is unveiling new guidelines today aimed at rolling back states' stay-at-home orders protecting against the spread of coronavirus.
	President Trump's call to wind down social distancing came as the United States recorded more than 2,400 deaths in just 24 hours, the highest one-day death toll for any nation since the start of the pandemic.
	Across the United States, there are nearly 640,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
	Hold on a second.
	I thought we had a 4,700-day death just last week.
	week.
	The next day.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Thanks.
	Believe me, she milked that one to death.
	Since the start of the pandemic.
	Across the United States, there are nearly 640,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, though the true number is likely far higher due to the critical shortage of tests.
	At least 31,000 people have died of the disease in just a matter of weeks.
	Despite this, President Trump spent the last few days waging a war on journalists, public health experts, and science.
	On Wednesday, Trump suggested without evidence that World Health Organization officials conspired to hide the truth about the coronavirus.
	His comments came one day after he announced the U.S. would begin withholding hundreds of millions of dollars of funding for the U.N. body.
	At the same news briefing, President Trump fueled the fringe theory promoted by Fox News that the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China.
	This is Fox News reporter John Roberts questioning Trump at Wednesday's press briefing.
	Thank you.
	Mr.
	President, multiple sources are telling Fox News today that the United States government now has high confidence that while the coronavirus is a naturally occurring virus, it emanated from a virology lab in Wuhan.
	That because of lax safety protocols, an intern was infected, who later infected her boyfriend, and then went to the wet market in Wuhan, where it began to spread.
	Does that correspond with what you have heard from officials?
	Well, I don't want to say that, John, but I will tell you more and more we're hearing the story, and we'll see.
	When you say multiple sources, now there's a case where you can use the word sources, but we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened to us.
	Wow, this was laden with all kinds of goodies, what she threw out there at us.
	Oh, she's unbelievable.
	But you heard what he said.
	He actually kind of poo-pooed it and downplayed it.
	He doesn't get credit for that.
	I do have the clip 1A, which is just her again, going on about how somehow what you just heard was fueling the controversy.
	He downplayed the controversy.
	At the same news briefing, President Trump fueled the fringe theory promoted by Fox News that the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China.
	This is Fox News reporter John Roberts questioning Trump at Wednesday's press briefing.
	Now we had that clip on Thursday.
	We played it because it was obviously a setup and I think we presented it as such.
	Just to bring us up to current context, quick clip.
	Here was Trump yesterday when asked the question about China's culpability or responsibility.
	You've spoken, we heard Dr.
	Birx a moment ago say that every country has a responsibility to tell the rest of the world what's going on.
	You've talked repeatedly about how this could have been stopped in the past.
	I know you don't want to telegraph what you would do, but do you think that there should be some consequences if in the end, you know, Well, if they were knowingly responsible, certainly.
	If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake.
	But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences.
	So there's your out, she.
	Yeah.
	Just say it was a mistake.
	But they won't do that.
	That's not in their nature.
	They don't like to admit they can ever make a mistake.
	But let's listen to part two as Amy goes on pooh-poohing any thought.
	And again, I'll bring the logic of this up.
	There was a lab there, and it did work on viruses, and it knew a lot about corona, and Fauci somehow is involved because he's an AIDS guy.
	Hold on, hold on.
	There was a $3.7 million grant from the CDC during the Obama administration, and it was all part of...
	We were working together.
	It was not unknown.
	This is not an unknown entity to the United States.
	So here we have Amy bringing on an expert who works at that lab, or that doesn't work there, but he works with them.
	And he's just going nuts about any implications.
	Now, I'm starting to think about, as I listen to these clips, you know, they're trying to protect this lab as much as they can.
	It must be doing some very interesting work, but just to...
	Go out of their way to, like, take what is obviously something to think about and slam it so harshly, especially as you heard, Amy, in that last clip.
	It really makes you wonder.
	But let's listen to this.
	This came just one day after the Pentagon's top general, Mark Milley, said the coronavirus likely came from natural sources, not a Chinese lab.
	On Thursday, China's foreign ministry spokesperson responded.
	China's position on the origin and means of transmission of the novel coronavirus is clear.
	We will always believe this is a scientific issue which should be studied by scientists and medical experts.
	I would like to remind you, the head of WHO has repeatedly said there's no evidence that the coronavirus was made in a lab.
	Many well-known medical experts in the world also believe that claims of the so-called laboratory leaks have no scientific basis.
	The scientific journal The Lancet has said the virus seems to have come from wildlife.
	There's a lot in The Lancet, my dear.
	You might want to read the other articles that have been published.
	Why, why, why, why?
	Why is it that when we have, I mean, go on YouTube, there's doctor after doctor, just as an example, not to take you away from the topic, there's doctor after doctor saying, hey man, I had 50 patients, they're all doing great, gave them hydroxychloroquine, why is that not?
	At this hour, Adam Curry reporting, good news, we have people surviving the COVID death!
	Why, why, why?
	Why can't anyone do one of those?
	Just one of those!
	That was easier to explain than this.
	Not really.
	They're all compromised.
	Well, yeah, but they're all compromised.
	All these journals are, for some reason, and maybe it's all Chinese money.
	I don't know.
	Maybe we missed out.
	We gotta, or me, maybe not you somewhere.
	Pinpoint.
	Stop ignoring the fact that the Chinese have got their hands deep into our media.
	Yes, very deep.
	So let's listen to the last clip.
	This is Dr.
	Daszak.
	Who Amy brings on to discuss this thing.
	It's under Dr.
	D.R. Daszak.
	Gotcha.
	For more on the origins of the coronavirus, Trump's response and where we go from here, we're joined by a zoologist.
	Who has long studied diseases that cross the animal-human...
	I have to stop.
	Please correct Amy on the pronunciation here.
	You do not...
	It's Z-O-O is not...
	Because it'd have to be three O's.
	It's zoologists.
	It's zoology.
	It's not zoo-ology.
	For more on the origins of the coronavirus, Trump's response and where we go from here.
	We're joined by a zoologist.
	Hello.
	Who has long studied diseases that cross the animal-human divide.
	And who for years has been sounding the alarm about a coming pandemic.
	Dr.
	Peter Doshak is with us.
	He's a disease ecologist, the president of EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit that works globally to identify and study our vulnerabilities to emerging infectious disease.
	EcoHealth Alliance has been studying coronaviruses in China since the end of the SARS outbreak in 2004.
	This coronavirus.
	Holy crap, does the guy ever talk or is she just going to blow him in the introduction?
	Is this unbelievable?
	This is what she does.
	She's really cold.
	Oh, I'm sorry, we're out of time.
	Let's go.
	Oh, how long is it so far?
	39 seconds already.
	Still haven't gotten to the gut.
	Just the intro.
	Versus in China since the end of the SARS outbreak in 2004.
	This coronavirus is really called SARS-2.
	He's joining us from the Hudson River Valley.
	Valley in New York.
	Welcome to Democracy Now!
	It's great to have you with us.
	So if you can unpack what we just heard, it goes to the issue of the origins of the coronavirus.
	Especially interesting that President Trump is raising this now as he's being seriously attacked for the United States' lack of action and delay.
	And so he is striking out at as many sectors as he can.
	But talk about the origins of the coronavirus, Dr. Daszak.
	And we have about 30 seconds left.
	Holy crap, this was...
	Well, take off your edits, a minute and 15 seconds.
	And what do we have left?
	34 seconds for the douche.
	Yeah, great to be here.
	Look, first, the idea that this virus escaped from the lab is just pure baloney.
	It's simply not true.
	I've been working with that lab for 15 years.
	The samples collected were collected by me and others in collaboration with our Chinese colleagues.
	They're some of the best scientists in the world.
	There was no viral isolate in the lab.
	There was no cultured virus that there's anything related to SARS-CoV-2, so it's just not possible.
	And like you say, it's really a politicization of the origins of a pandemic, and it's really unfortunate.
	Okay, science researcher completely on Chinese money, obviously, with his Chinese colleagues in the laboratory that failed its safety review.
	No!
	He may as well be a spokesperson for the CCP. Yeah.
	Gosh.
	And she brings him on.
	Maybe all she had to do was say, yes, sir, as you wish.
	Of course I'll have him on.
	I don't think there's...
	Well, it's not Amy, of course.
	It doesn't work that way.
	But wow, wow.
	Yeah, we have to keep reminding ourselves how incredibly deep the CCP is into all things media.
	They're not stupid.
	No, they're certainly not stupid.
	Wait a minute, these guys are easily bought.
	Condoleezza Rice is in the picture again.
	I guess the president invited her to be on the reopening board.
	She is now with the Hoover Institution?
	Yeah, over here in Palo Alto.
	Yeah, so she's toeing the line of that outfit.
	Everybody's at the Hoover Institution, it seems.
	The public part of this, I think, over the next months, is just to let it be known that China responded in the way that it did.
	Or didn't respond, let me put it that way.
	Because the Chinese are going to try to create, they're even trying to do this now, a counter-narrative.
	Well, when we found out about it, we got on top of it.
	Look at how quickly through social distancing and quarantine, look how quickly we recovered.
	And oh, by the way, we've been helping the rest of the world by sending PPEs and by sending help and aid to all of the world.
	They're going to try to shift the narrative.
	From their initial responsibility for not fessing up to what was happening to we got on top of it and then we helped the rest of you.
	That's how they're going to start shifting there.
	Don't let it happen.
	All right, but it is happening and not letting it happen seems impossible.
	Just combined with the perfect storm of hate, of total, bitter, utter media hate towards Trump...
	I mean, so bitter and so hateful that you can't even, for two seconds, think about your audience, the public.
	Say, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you know, think about us.
	Tell us how we're doing.
	Give us some useful information.
	By the way, the President did give us a very graphic, detailed report, boots-on-the-ground report, if you will, of the initial test.
	Now, you know, now the testing is going to be quick swab, 15 minutes.
	I think they're talking about one even faster than that.
	But the first one is where they jam that thing up your nose.
	Yeah, through your nose, through the back of your nose, bend it down, so it goes from through your nose, down your throat.
	Now, this was the test that the president had to take because, if you recall, the media kept saying, have you been tested?
	Have you been tested?
	Have you been tested?
	Yeah, he had to take it.
	The media, God hopes that he would have it because they could call the 25th Amendment.
	Here he tells you how that initial test went.
	Just like with ventilators, we're building now the best ventilators.
	Just like with ventilators, our testing is getting better and better.
	I took the first test.
	The first test was not pleasant.
	This was not a pleasant thing.
	I said, you've got to be kidding to the doctor.
	You've got to be kidding.
	Up your nose, and then we hang a right, and it goes down here, and then we'll wiggle it around here under your eye, and then we'll pull it out and we'll say, I said, no, that's no way that can happen.
	Is that the way it goes?
	You sure?
	This was a very unpleasant test.
	And then I was tested a few weeks later with the new test that just came out, the Abbott, where they just touch your nose, basically, and they put it in a machine.
	And literally a few minutes later, they tell you if you're fine.
	And I was lucky in both cases.
	And it's funny how he described that, because almost what you did, except he had the up-your-nose-hang-a-right under your eye.
	There's some...
	Well, there's a lot wrong with people sitting at home.
	There's a lot of wrong thinking, and I think people are very disconnected from reality.
	So when you hear this is...
	That is actually what the test entailed, the first test.
	We need everyone, 350 million tests a day.
	This is a bunch of sadists.
	For some reason, There's this belief that a test is like chickity-chock, lickity-split, and it's like a home pregnancy test.
	You go buy it at the drugstore, you take it home, pee on a stick, and you know where you're at.
	And that is partially a complete lack of media work in general.
	The news should be explaining this much better.
	They don't do any of that.
	Go on and on.
	Yeah, I know.
	I know.
	It just goes on and on and on and on and on.
	And it's starting to...
	Before we get there, I'm happy Texas is going to be one of the first states to open up.
	On Tuesday, all retail will be able to open, but you can't go in the store as a customer.
	You could order on the phone or online, and you could pick it up curbside.
	Marginally interesting.
	The parks are going to open.
	You can now be in the park, five people at the same time.
	Yes, face masks is still going to be a thing.
	Everyone is wearing one, and if you're not wearing one, you get stink eyes.
	So there's no official word on that, actually.
	Then on the 26th, so that will be, what is that, Friday?
	Friday or Saturday?
	Saturday or Sunday.
	Then we're going to go to the next phase, and I think that's where the announcement will be that as of next week, Monday, we can start...
	26th is Sunday.
	Oh, it is Sunday?
	So as of the 27th, we'll be able to do more.
	And I think they'll go either to the...
	I hope straight to the 50 people line, where you can do 50 people in a group, but we'll have to see.
	Abbott, our governor here...
	Very similar to what the president did.
	You know, we're doing this on data.
	Here's the list of all the health experts, nationally, internationally known.
	And he also has an advisory council, which immediately made me question everything Abbott says.
	Our medical team will work with an advisory committee of successful business and community leaders who will share information and innovative ideas to help businesses strategically reopen.
	While also containing the spread of the coronavirus.
	They include entrepreneurs like Kendra Scott and Mattress Matt Jim McInnell.
	World-renowned tech leaders like Michael Dell and Robert Smith.
	Economic development leaders like Ross Perot and Bob Rowan.
	Now, do you think that he actually got confirmation from all of these people?
	In particular, Ross Perot?
	I didn't know Ross Perot was still alive.
	He died last year.
	Oh, there you go.
	So, and now he's on the committee.
	What is this all about?
	Did he say...
	Okay, I didn't...
	I knew or I thought he was dead, but I wasn't sure of it.
	But he was actually dead last year?
	July of 2019.
	Hey, listen.
	Kindred Scott and Mattress Matt Jamaicanville.
	Although I do like Mattress Matt Jamaicanville.
	I think that's cool that he's on the board.
	It was a typo.
	No, I think it's one of those crazy Eddie type stores.
	Mattress Matt, you know, whatever.
	Kendra Scott is a jewelry designer, so it would make sense.
	Kendra Scott and Mattress Matt Jim McInvale.
	World-renowned tech leaders like Michael Dell and Robert Smith.
	Economic development leaders like Ross Perot and Bob Rowan.
	Holy mackerel.
	I mean, that's messed up.
	That is really bad.
	That means he didn't even call.
	And by the way, I'd love to be on that call.
	Hey!
	Can Ross come out and play?
	You know, I get the sense that the list was given to him by one of his staffers who probably hates him.
	Who just made it up.
	Just made it up.
	It's very damaging.
	Very, very damaging.
	I don't think anyone else caught it.
	Hey, you won't be laughing when they roll his corpse out.
	Well, he was known for his...
	You guys holding him up, one waving his arm?
	He was known for his innovation.
	You never know what good old Ross might have figured out.
	Okay.
	I mean, we can't be on coronavirus as much as we usually do, but I still have a few things.
	We got plenty.
	Hey, it's people that write us say that one of the things that we're doing for them is keeping them up from going nuts during this moment.
	We probably have another week or two of material, and we keep coming up with stuff.
	That's true.
	I have another piece of material.
	Now, with this clearly very questionable global shutdown, something's happened.
	I mean, there's been resets of...
	Somebody's been digging some holes and planting some bombs.
	Exactly.
	Stuff has been going on.
	And if you look at the current stock market, I'm just looking at Wall Street, It's really quite incredible where that is compared to the reality on the ground of a completely stopped, really stopped economy.
	We'll talk about some of the issues there in a bit as well.
	Trump explains the genius stock market because the stock market is actually talking to us.
	Look at us.
	We have the greatest economy in the history of the world.
	Better than China.
	Better than any country in the world.
	Better than any country has ever had.
	We had the highest stock market in history by far.
	And I'm honored by the fact that it has started to go up very substantially.
	That's because the market is smart.
	The market is actually brilliant.
	I've seen it.
	And they're viewing it Like, we've done a good job.
	They view it that way.
	Because if you would have told me that we're at 24,000 or beyond, and the highest we were ever was, we never hit 30.
	We were getting close to 30, so let's say around 29,000, we're at 24.
	We were heading down.
	I start to say, oh, well, we may be heading into territory where I started.
	I didn't like that.
	Now we're way up.
	I guess that's all that counts.
	The stock market is telling us we're doing a good job.
	That is what people that are market people, stock market folk, they always say.
	This is really commentary from a guy you'd think was a stockbroker.
	Real estate guys, I didn't know were that into the stock market as much as he is.
	It's pretty interesting.
	But, okay.
	Yesterday...
	Kind of in a counter move, I would say, the World Health Organization, United Nations officials, and a lot of really big advertisers, such as IBM,
	Cisco, Sony, gosh, I didn't even count all of them, They had the big Alone Together Global Citizen New World Order concert.
	Yeah.
	It was hosted by Colbert and the two Jimmies.
	Actually, one of our producers took some notes.
	If you saw it, then you probably saw the same thing.
	Did you see any of it, John?
	Did you watch any of this show?
	No.
	No?
	No?
	No.
	I look at these things and there's just like a million people on the screen and you can't look at any one of them.
	And they're all, it's just stupid.
	Well, a lot of, so it was kind of the idea of a live aid, only you couldn't donate.
	There was no money.
	They weren't raising anything.
	It was really just to talk about vaccines.
	Well, no.
	Belinda Gates, Bill and Melinda, they came on to talk about vaccines.
	Tedros came on to talk about how important it is that we're all in this together.
	And then it was performances.
	And some of them were mainly done at home, but some of them were really professionally done at home.
	If not multiple cameras, multiple angles, professional ditty.
	Some of the stuff was really good.
	But Elton John...
	Outside with a multi-camera shoot.
	I don't know.
	None of that worked for me.
	On his basketball court, for some reason.
	Well, because he's known for his hoops.
	A lot of the audio is still really, really, really crap.
	And just odd.
	Just, you know, Stevie Wonder.
	Okay, you know, Stevie's great.
	And he did Lean On Me by Bill Withers and...
	Does anyone really care?
	Do we have any ratings for this thing?
	Actually, that's what I should have looked at.
	Anyway, I should have.
	I can't imagine anybody watched it.
	Listen to the latest World Health Organization public service announcement, as is now airing across the globe, from Professor Not Really Doctor Not Kind of Tedros.
	Many of you watching this are now at home to protect your health and that of those nearest you.
	But there is much you can do to stay healthy at home, like eating a healthy and nutritious diet, avoiding sugary drinks, not smoking, and being physically active.
	Take a walk if you can go outside, do an online workout or yoga, and don't sit in the same position for long periods.
	Getting up and moving for at least three minutes several times a day helps.
	Caring for your mental health is also key.
	You can do this by talking.
	All right, shut up.
	I can't even take that guy anymore.
	I want to just mention something here because I know other people are triggered by this guy's voice who are older.
	And this guy's voice is exactly the same voice as the guy who played the translator, the Spanish translator in the Woody Allen movie Bananas.
	Woody is coming off down the plane ramp, and he's got a Fidel Castro beard on, and this translator comes out, and as Woody says anything in English, this guy supposedly translated.
	He's not translating.
	He's translating into pidgin English with this exact same accent.
	And I will try to get a clip of it, because every time I hear this guy talk, I visually see this character, who then is rushed off because it turns out that he was an escapee from an insane asylum.
	But anyway, that's enough.
	Hey, you know, I don't have any ratings.
	I don't see any ratings for this together at home.
	That's probably what the ratings were.
	But they have to report.
	There were big ads on this thing, John.
	I mean, like, really big advertising.
	People, a lot of networks.
	I think the ratings on all the shows must have been going through the floor because I'm not going to watch Stephen Colbert in his house.
	I'm not going to watch Jimmy Fallon on his front porch.
	It was bad sound.
	I'm not going to watch The View.
	It's unwatchable.
	And so people are watching Netflix.
	They're watching production.
	They're watching old TV. They're watching anything but what's going on.
	I took a YouTube video which had been going around.
	And I tightened it up and I realized that it would work really well for audio.
	At least that's how I felt about it this morning.
	This is a supercut, a compilage, if you will, of every single big brand coronavirus commercial running on television right now.
	Did you see this thing?
	Nope.
	Okay, good, because it'll work.
	They all start off with the same Apple GarageBand somber piano music, and there's a little montage, you'll hear it, and then they all go into the exact same format of programming you, based on your emotions, to buy their product because they're your family, they're loyal to you, gosh darn it.
	Have a listen to every single Corona commercial today.
	All the intros are like this.
	When we first opened our doors.
	Since 1926.
	Since 1978.
	For 60 years.
	For 75 years.
	For over 80 years.
	In 90 years.
	Over 100 years.
	Nationwide has been on your side.
	Restaurants have always been there for you.
	Nissan has been with you through thick and thin.
	We will do what we've always done.
	Take care of people.
	We're people.
	People.
	People and family.
	Family.
	Families.
	Even now.
	Especially now.
	Especially now.
	Right now.
	Now more than ever.
	More than ever.
	Today.
	More than ever.
	In times like this.
	At times like these.
	During these difficult times.
	In these troubled times.
	Challenging times.
	Trying times.
	In these times of uncertainty.
	During this time of great uncertainty.
	During these uncertain times.
	During these uncertain times.
	Uncertain times.
	Uncertain times.
	Unprecedented times.
	This unprecedented moment in our history.
	This time of social distancing.
	While things have slowed down.
	As we turn more inside.
	Notice the up-tempo.
	The doors may be closed.
	While the distance between us has gotten bigger.
	The more we stay apart, we still find ways to stay close, even when we're apart.
	Even if we can't stand closer than six feet, there's still ways to touch each other.
	All without leaving the comfort and safety of your home.
	Without leaving the safety of your home.
	From home.
	From home.
	Your home.
	Get home.
	Home.
	Stay home, slaves!
	Home.
	Home.
	That's the key.
	Buick and GMC are here to help.
	Carl Madison is here to help.
	Here to help.
	Our teams are here.
	We are here.
	We're here.
	We're here.
	Here for you.
	Here for you.
	We're here for you.
	We're here for you.
	We are here for you.
	We'll be here for you.
	Running's is here for you.
	We're still here for you.
	We're with you.
	We're part of your community.
	So you can trust us.
	You can count on us.
	And we'll get through this.
	Together.
	Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together.
	Okay, we're not done yet because now we have to go up tempo towards the end of the song.
	Everyone's happy.
	We're skateboarding in the house.
	And now we have to clap.
	We have to clap for the first responders and for the nurses and the doctors.
	We love them all.
	They're the best.
	Clap, clap, clap.
	And you've probably seen every single one of those.
	And that is what has been programmed into your brain.
	Who put that one together?
	Who put it together?
	I have it in the show notes somewhere.
	Who put it together?
	Well, I'm going to give you a clip of the day for finding it.
	Thank you.
	Clip of the day.
	That is a fabulous clip.
	It really works.
	I mean, it's just because it's so manipulative.
	It's stupid, manipulative.
	It's actually evil.
	And that's what we're being pumped full with on a daily basis, if you're watching television.
	Of course.
	Yeah.
	But if you watch the global alone together New World Order home thing yesterday, that's what the commercials were.
	And they were from the same big brands.
	Yeah.
	Trying to give...
	Big giant corporations, they don't give a crap.
	Except about their bottom line, and they're worried sick about this.
	They do not give a crap.
	Now, the other things that are running...
	I think they're mainly yellow, sometimes bright green, full screen, just words on the screen.
	And it's from the CDC or the local CDC. I hate those.
	Well, there's one for Oregon, which I'm going to play live so I can read along.
	If we don't stay home, it's a big yellow screen.
	We will continue to spread the coronavirus.
	1.4% of all Oregonians could die.
	An average person knows 600 people, which means five people you know could lose their lives.
	Your kid's school teacher, your neighbor, your teammate, your barista, your doctor, your uncle, your sister, your mother, your stepbrother, your partner, your child!
	It's up to you how many people live or die.
	Don't accidentally kill someone!
	Stay home, save lives!
	I'm sure that is not the tone that was meant to be.
	That's what it sounded like to me when I read it.
	So this stuff is pathetic.
	Thank God people are listening to podcasts.
	Holy crap, it's so, so damaging to your health.
	Well, not the podcast.
	No, no, no.
	All this other stuff is very damaging.
	Basically, we're locked up.
	And I think that you're seeing now, the rest of the world is seeing, I'm getting calls about it.
	Actually, one call, who calls anymore?
	I got one phone call and some text messages from overseas.
	They're seeing Americans in certain states saying, okay, I'm done with this, and you can't keep me home, and I'm very tired of you treating me like a slave.
	And telling me to shut up and I can't do certain things that I'd like to do.
	And the most important one, which is a topic of conversation, and it's necessary for this to be discussed, is the religious gatherings.
	The First Amendment to the United States Constitution has a number of freedoms in there.
	People really, you know, they'll remember the freedom of speech.
	They'll remember, you know, the freedom of the press.
	But it's always good to reread it.
	So this is the most important amendment to the United States Constitution.
	It's how we do it here.
	And it starts a little differently.
	It's not what you're allowed to do.
	It actually is telling the government what they cannot do.
	So the First Amendment starts with, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
	Just as the First Amendment is important in all the amendments because it's first, what's in these amendments first is important too in a hierarchical way.
	So religion and free exercise without prohibition is an inalienable right that cannot be taken away.
	Top of the list.
	Then we have abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
	Every single one of those line items was a part of these protests that are taking place.
	There's one in Austin today.
	They're going on in Ohio.
	They're going on in Michigan.
	And people are tired because they're seeing through it.
	They're seeing through the bull crap and they would like to get back to their lives.
	They don't want to kill other people like this phony baloney Oregonian PSA was telling.
	Of course, they don't want to kill other people, but we do have to take risks in life, like getting in your car and driving on the highway.
	And Governor Whitmer of Michigan, she took some extreme measures.
	You know, you can't just...
	I'm sure you've seen all the things that she said you can't do, completely abridging all kinds of freedoms listed in the First Amendment.
	And so people came out and demonstrated.
	But they didn't just come out just in their cars and honking their horns.
	No, they came out with their guns.
	And that's why you'll hear this response from Whitmer, the way it is, because the Second Amendment did its job, and it continues to do its job.
	People in Europe, Germany, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, what happens to them when they say, hey, I'm tired of this shit, I'm going outside?
	They get jailed, get thrown in jail, picked up, beaten and herded and drones flying overhead.
	That's why we have guns.
	I want you to understand that, not to kill people.
	And right now, Adam is talking to the Europeans, not the Americans.
	Exactly.
	So, here's the example.
	For some reason, the Europeans, you get these Pierce-Morgans, these other guys, and they float over here and they just don't get it.
	No, and I think this is a great moment to actually get it.
	When you're in the Netherlands or Germany or France and your government is telling you to shut up and you can't even walk outside, side by side with someone else, regardless of the danger, they don't have the right to do all these things.
	In the United States.
	And when they do it, then we come out with our guns slung over our back and saying, hey, I don't think this is a good idea.
	We're kind of tired of what you're saying.
	And that's why Governor Whitmer of Michigan responds in this manner very meek.
	And rightly so.
	So I think about the demonstrators here today.
	And I understand the frustration that people are feeling.
	I'm frustrated too.
	None of us wants to be here in this moment, but we are.
	And we have to do the best that we can.
	I know that people are angry, and that's okay.
	And if you want to take it out and send it my way, if it makes you feel better, that's fine.
	I support your right to free speech, and I respect your opinions.
	I just urge you, don't put yourself at risk.
	And don't put others at risk either.
	I was really disappointed to see people congregating, not wearing masks.
	I saw someone handing out candy to little kids, barehanded.
	Oh, no.
	Oh, no.
	You know, when people are flying the Confederate flag and untold numbers who gassed up on the way here...
	Hey, by the way, I totally agree with your freedom of speech, but what's up with the Confederate flag?
	You hear her saying that?
	You were flying the Confederate flag.
	Is that illegal?
	Are you not allowed to fly the Confederate flag in Michigan?
	Is that illegal in general?
	Can you not fly that?
	Not that I know of.
	It's a freedom of speech issue.
	Then why is she saying it?
	Well, for the black voters in the state, so they keep voting for her.
	You know, when people are flying the Confederate flag and untold numbers who gassed up on the way here or grabbed a bite on the way home, we know that this rally endangered people.
	It was not a rally.
	I think that's a very disingenuous rally.
	But okay, it endangered people.
	This kind of activity will put more people at risk.
	And sadly, it could prolong the amount of time we have to be in this posture.
	Although she understands very well, she knows her limitations.
	I guess maybe someone else wrote this for her.
	She understands her limitations.
	She cannot push it.
	But there is an overall lacking of civics, understanding of civics, even from the people who are supposed to be adhering to them, And I caught this on Tucker Carlson's show on Fox.
	He was talking to Phil Murphy, the governor of New Jersey.
	And Tucker brings up the same general point, but the answer that comes from the governor makes nothing but sense.
	So you made that decision, and as I noted before, 15 congregants at a synagogue in New Jersey were arrested and charged for being in a synagogue together.
	Now...
	The Bill of Rights, as you well know, protects Americans' right and shrines their right to practice their religion as they see fit and to congregate together to assemble peacefully.
	By what authority did you nullify the Bill of Rights in issuing this order?
	How do you have the power to do that?
	That's above my pay grade, Tucker.
	So I wasn't thinking of the Bill of Rights when we did this.
	First of all, we looked at the data and the science, and it says people have to stay away from each other.
	And that is the saddest answer I've ever heard.
	I wasn't thinking of the Bill of Rights when I locked down people in their homes.
	What's that guy?
	Phil Murphy, governor of New Jersey.
	Holy mackerel.
	But he also laughs it off when Tucker says, clearly you weren't.
	He's like, that's above my pay grade.
	It's not above his pay grade.
	That is his pay grade.
	That's exactly what he should be doing.
	When you take these measures, don't you sit down and say, is this constitutional?
	Can we do this?
	Do we have the right to do this?
	Do we have the leeway?
	That kind of thinking is a real problem.
	Is that a Democrat or a Republican?
	I'm just wondering.
	I think he's a Democrat.
	Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's a Democrat.
	Now, of course, this is the tri-state area, the United States.
	Now, we don't have people protesting in New York with guns on their backs.
	We don't have people protesting in California with guns on their back because of the extremely complicated local state gun ordinances.
	And rules and regulations.
	So that's where crazy shit happens.
	San Clemente, California.
	What's the government going to do when they hate you?
	A popular Orange County skate park is now covered in sand.
	The city of San Clemente made the move to discourage skaters from using the park during social distancing.
	But the nonprofit that manages the park told the OC Register, the city made the move without telling them first.
	But look how the skaters, they cleared the sand out of the way.
	They're crazy.
	So they didn't like what the children were breaking protocol, so they filled the whole skate park with 27 tons of sand?
	What assholes!
	That's insane!
	And then in New York, this is not unique to New York.
	It's a funny bit, too.
	You know what they should have done?
	And they screwed up.
	They should have filled it with dog crap.
	Then the kids wouldn't have cleaned it up.
	Or a combo.
	Kitty litter.
	Oh, kidding, yeah, used.
	The clumping kind.
	Now, in New York, and again, not every state in America is the same.
	New York and California have a lot in common.
	But we certainly don't want you to disobey orders, citizen.
	New Yorkers, you have been extraordinary at social distancing.
	This is Mayor Bill de Blasio.
	And let me tell you, it has taken every fiber of our beings to figure out how to do this because we're warm, emotional people.
	We're used to being close to each other.
	We're used to being packed into subway cars, and we've had to do the exact opposite and figure out how to keep distance.
	It's not natural for us.
	It's not normal for us, but you've done it.
	You've done an amazing job.
	Now look, thank you everyone who's done it the right way, but we still know there's some people who need to get the message.
	And that means sometimes making sure the enforcement is there Hey, let's get some muscle over here, shall we?
	Come on!
	We've got to enforce it!
	People are not getting the message!
	We've got to give them the message!
	To educate people...
	Educate!
	...and make clear we've got to have social distancing.
	So...
	We've got to educate you, citizen.
	Now, it is easier than ever.
	When you see a crowd, when you see a line that's not distanced, when you see a supermarket that's too crowded, anything, you can report it right away so we can get help there to fix the problem.
	And now it's as simple as taking a photo.
	Woo!
	All you gotta do is take the photo and put the location with it and bang!
	Bang!
	Send a photo like this.
	And you're a narc!
	And we will make sure that...
	You could be a fink!
	A fink!
	Man, I hadn't heard the term fink in a long time.
	Fink.
	Fink.
	Is that with an E? A fink?
	No, no, it's F-I-N-K. Fink.
	Where does that come from, man?
	Where does the fink come from?
	Fink done me.
	It probably goes back to the 30s.
	There's some old term from jail or prison.
	I'm not sure.
	Fink.
	Fink.
	Late 19th century.
	Perhaps from German, literally finch, but also a pejorative term.
	Students started to refer to non-members of fraternities as finks.
	Hmm.
	of wild birds as opposed to caged ones.
	The term was later generalized to denote those not belonging to organizations such as trade unions.
	Hmm.
	So maybe it came from trade union stuff?
	Well, that makes sense.
	Yeah.
	They were very popular in the 30s.
	So de Blasio wants you to think, to be a think and narc, narc on your neighbors, because we've got to teach people.
	They've got to learn.
	Just take a picture, we'll take care of it.
	They've got to learn.
	You take the picture, we'll take care of the guy.
	It's crazy.
	Well, it could be worse.
	I do have that round-the-world thing.
	I'm going to pull one out.
	If you want to hear good news and bad news, play the COVID Nigeria if you want to hear an extreme.
	Nigeria's National Human Rights Commission says security forces have killed at least 18 people while enforcing social distancing measures aimed at stopping the spread of the coronavirus.
	That's more than the 13 deaths so far attributed to COVID-19 across Nigeria.
	The commission documented over 100 incidents of human rights violations in 24 of Nigeria's 36 states.
	So they killed 18 people.
	Right.
	For not social distancing.
	There you go.
	Now you're talking.
	That's what de Blasio wants.
	To teach people.
	Shoot them.
	You will learn something.
	I'm still a bit concerned about the Smithfield pork plants.
	They've closed another one.
	So this is the only meat processing plants in the United States closed down to date are both pork and both Chinese-owned Smithfield.
	And there are definitely other meat facilities that have even had deaths and have not been shut down.
	Well, I would like to read the note that we both received from Mitch.
	Okay.
	I work for a smaller USDA-inspected meat lawn.
	And by the way, this note people should pay attention to because...
	It actually kind of has an implied recommendation.
	Yes, it does.
	It does.
	Which is, buy some meat, put it in the freezer.
	Yeah, buy.
	I'm going out today to buy some more meat.
	Yeah, fill your freezer up.
	Anyway, let me read the note.
	I work for a smaller USDA inspected meat locker, 25 employees or so.
	So we're a drop in the bucket compared to the large slaughterhouses.
	But nonetheless, we have a USDA inspector and I know the system.
	My initial COVID concern was that the USDA would pull their inspectors and we'd be largely shut down, creating this not for sale only meat situation, which you'll see.
	The USDA has fortunately had the good sense not to cripple our meat supply and kept us open so far.
	These close quarters slaughterhouses with hundreds, if not thousands of employees are rampant with coronavirus.
	Our inspector has quietly told me that one of the other big local plants refused to shut down despite multiple confirmed employee cases.
	To make matters worse, an inspector was confirmed positive and our inspector was worried that he was going to get pulled to cover that infected plant as well, potentially exposing us.
	Believe me when I tell you these plants will be shut down and the food supply will disappear.
	You might want to read that one line again.
	The food supply.
	By the way, there will always be vegan food.
	And I can't believe it's not meat.
	We've been checking in with our regular truck drivers from our retail suppliers.
	One of our drivers has been delivering for us for decades and has never seen their warehouses this empty.
	Everyone is scrambling to meat demand and there's not enough meat to go around as is.
	When these plants get shut down, there is no excess sitting in the warehouses.
	Our freezers are the same way.
	When we cut a beef or hog, it is picked up as soon as it is frozen.
	That is not normally the case and you can't even find a cheap freezer for sale.
	The coverage has been phenomenal, gentlemen.
	Yeah, now he's talking about us.
	My wife is actually listening for the first time.
	You're bringing us hope and a positive message.
	She knows about the HWO gates and the whole racket.
	Keep it up.
	And with her new blessing, I will no longer be a douchebag, signed a meat cutter.
	So there you have it.
	I think this is an accurate report.
	I believe it.
	And I would say that if you're, for the next week or so, if you want to stock up on some meat, it might not be a bad thing.
	Right.
	I thought that was a very helpful note as well.
	Yes.
	Just to know.
	But, as I said, there have been multiple meat plants that have had many positive cases and even some related deaths.
	But it's only the Chinese-owned ones.
	Maybe that's just coincidence.
	I don't think so, somehow.
	Well, I've been told by a source up in the New York area that they've already been told that their meat supply is going to be over in one week.
	Really?
	Really?
	Yeah, there's just like some public knowledge.
	Crap.
	Well, I'm definitely going to fill up the freezer.
	Not a bad idea.
	Not a bad idea.
	I can tell you what the meme will be, though.
	I'm seeing it everywhere now, and I'm trying to force myself to go to the New York Times every day and see what they're saying so that I can understand what the onslaught of bullcrap will be for the next day and the next 24-hour cycle.
	That's where you'll find it.
	And I think we've moved away.
	Well, so we're using South Korea as the model for our app.
	For any tracking and tracing.
	There is no official government-sanctioned system currently, nor should there be.
	So South Korea is going to be the example for that.
	It's the trace together.
	Actually, I have a clip here just to accentuate that.
	Here's Australia who are...
	I think this is all voluntary until it's not.
	The everyday act of downloading a new smartphone app now being dubbed our Team Australia moment.
	If we want to release these and loosen these restrictions, we've got to be able to have an effective tracing mechanism.
	A rallying cry to embrace the platform due to be ready within a fortnight.
	What we really want is for as many Australians as possible, well over 40%, to download the app.
	We're committed to make that available as part of the protection of the Australian public as well as something that could be of assistance to our public health authorities.
	The app would allow anyone who tests positive for the virus to alert the government using their phone.
	Health authorities will then be able to trace their movements and ask anyone who has come into contact with the infected person for longer than 15 minutes To be tested, but Australians are being assured their privacy wouldn't be compromised.
	The app itself, COVID Trace, simply digitises a manual process.
	Nothing more, nothing less.
	It's based on an initiative in Singapore, but just 20% of the population there has signed up to use the technology.
	The federal government has already conceded it'll be a tough sell, but it's hopeful Australians keen to return to their normal lives will embrace it.
	Look, it's new.
	We get that.
	It's something different.
	But everyone's got a phone.
	Uh, no.
	I don't have a phone.
	I don't got a phone.
	I got a flip phone.
	Not going to work on me.
	So the way this...
	I've looked into this a little bit deeper.
	It's just going to get everyone used to the idea of tracking and tracing, whether it's a good implementation or not.
	But just so you understand how it works, you enter your own information into the app.
	Who knows what it is?
	Whenever you're around anybody, it's continuously through the Bluetooth low-power system, which can measure, to some extent, distance.
	If you've been in the neighborhood of someone else for 15 minutes or more, and you exchange Bluetooth keys, you don't know it's happening.
	That's the part I don't like.
	So hold on a second.
	So your phone is just loading data all day as you walk around, boing, boing, boing, filling up your memory.
	Is that what it's doing?
	No.
	No.
	What it's doing is it is collecting the physical addresses of the Bluetooth devices That you have been near all day.
	So it's a list, but it's not like filling up your phone with tons of data.
	It's just a list of Bluetooth devices.
	And so the idea is, if you change something in the app, saying, Oh my God, I just got tested.
	I'm pregnant!
	I'm positive!
	Then you put that into the app, then the back end...
	We'll look at every single one of those Bluetooth IDs that you've encountered in the past 14 days, and we'll trigger a message on their app saying, oh my god, Curry was near you, he's positive, go get a test, or stay home.
	Well, I think, no, it'll be a go get a test, but self-quarantine.
	Yes, for instance.
	So you have to quarantine.
	So what I would do, if I had a sense of humor.
	I know, exactly.
	I want to meet everybody.
	Get on the subway, go roaming around.
	You're a horrible man, Devorak.
	And then falsely report that you have a false positive.
	So, thank you.
	You have just cracked the weakest part of the entire system.
	That is exactly what can be done.
	Yeah.
	And that's what somebody will do.
	Unless they have some codification to put in your positive status.
	Let's go further.
	The real hackers will break into the system, break into the database, and add times to make sure that everyone is with you at least 15 minutes loaded up.
	Yeah.
	So everybody's been in contact with you for 15 minutes or more and then put the false information in there and just sit back and laugh.
	That's hilarious.
	That's what hackers do.
	They love it.
	The good ones.
	The old school hackers used to do that stuff.
	The fun ones.
	Yeah, the fun ones.
	The Netherlands is doing their app already plastered across the newspapers this morning.
	It leaks data.
	Of course, the way that's reported is, it's already been hacked, whatever that means.
	But for examples of who done it right...
	Who is the bestest in the world?
	A surprising, surprising country is being pushed to the forefront.
	Can you guess?
	Who is going to be held up as the shiny example of doing it right?
	I don't know, the UK? Germany.
	Holland?
	No, Germany.
	Germany.
	Ah, yeah!
	Fuck the Lieber!
	Meticulous and orderly.
	Germany can handle a pandemic.
	You'd think the Swiss would really go to the top of the list, by the way, but go on.
	Listen to this Bloomberg opinion piece.
	Picture the opposite of the U.S. under Donald Trump during the COVID-19 outbreak.
	That's Germany under Angela Merkel.
	Oh, thank you, Bloomberg.
	Well, we know that old Michael hates Trump, so there you have it.
	In a nutshell.
	Yeah.
	But I'm reading it everywhere.
	New York Times and Germany are so good.
	Yeah, because it's written at the New York Times and then it gets passed around.
	Everybody now Angela Merkel's, but she'd be a better president than Trump.
	Oh, absolutely.
	She's much calmer and although the death rate is going up in Germany, let's just not take a look.
	You know the thing about Germany?
	The Germans are, they know how to take orders.
	That's just historical.
	And they're very clean.
	I think that a lot of Germans' cleanliness...
	The Dutch have this too.
	Very, very cleanly everywhere.
	The streets, everything's got to be clean.
	I think that makes a difference in stuff like this.
	But for some reason, they're going to be shown as the shining example of how to do it.
	And, of course, we are here with our dumb oaf orange man.
	We did it all wrong.
	Wrong.
	Oh, it's just because we took too long.
	So wrong.
	Um, okay.
	Do you have any more clips you'd like to share with us?
	Maybe around the world one more time?
	Well, we could do around the world, but I'm going to put that, I'd like to do that to the end, or closer to the end.
	Let me see if there's anything that needs to read.
	We have a couple of things here.
	here we got some nurses suspended uh california nurses suspended for not because they made them do stuff they didn't want to do in california providence st john's health center in santa monica suspended 10 nurses who refused orders to treat covid19 patients without n95 masks and other personal protective equipment yeah do i really have to believe this story I think it's bullcrap.
	I do too.
	But here's a story that I think is probably true that you would only get on Democracy Now.
	And I believe this to be a true story.
	This is the USAA bank stealing money.
	Banking giant USAA, which serves former military members and their families, said Thursday it'll no longer seize the stimulus checks of people with negative account balances.
	USAA's reversal came after the American prospect reported on a disabled veteran whose family had $3,400 in CARES Act payments rerouted by the bank to pay an outstanding debt.
	Yeah, that's not USAA alone.
	There's other banks who have been doing this.
	Well, for one thing, I think this story is misreported, and I'll tell you why.
	What's happening, I believe...
	And the banks stop doing this immediately once they find out, but I think it's just automatically you have a negative account balance.
	In your account, a check comes in, immediately gets sucked into this negative account balance, and it's all automatic because the computers do it.
	There's not somebody sitting there wringing their hands and going, there's some money I can steal from an old man.
	Well, I'm going to have to argue with you on that point.
	I'm looking for the note from our producer who emailed me about this very subject.
	Um...
	I'm a dude named Ben who works for a national bank.
	Top priority emergency project is to clear all accounts of negative balances and reverse any fees that were previously assessed.
	What does that mean?
	I think that's what they're doing with the money Well, I think that doesn't negate my thesis.
	No, no.
	Projects usually take at least eight weeks.
	This was mandated today, Friday, and must be done before next Wednesday when the next round of stimulus money is released.
	The purpose is it will give a huge injection to the cash-on-hand numbers for the bank.
	So there's all kinds of agendas at play, as usual.
	Things are working.
	We haven't gotten our checks.
	We've got no money here.
	Jay got her check.
	She's the first one I know of.
	Yeah, Elise got hers.
	And the Netherlands.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	I'm done.
	No one else got checks.
	Christina's waiting in the Netherlands.
	It's like, no.
	And she's been locked up for a month.
	For a month!
	That's ridiculous.
	Can't work outside the house?
	We're lucky, John.
	We got a gig, and people are supporting the gig.
	They are.
	And so it's almost impossible to understand other than through other people.
	I see the kids.
	You really feel it with them.
	Because they're, you know, they're confused, but they also think it's bullcrap and they don't know.
	But then meanwhile, they got to pay the rent.
	Right.
	So they can think it's bullcrap all they want, but they still have to pay the rent.
	But when they have no money, no checks happening, then it becomes very complicated.
	So, but maybe that is a perfect cue for me to thank you, Mr.
	Dvorak, for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who indeed put the sea in the Chinas, John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning, all the ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Hello, trolls there in the troll room.
	I see you.
	It is a Sunday, so let's do a count of the trolls.
	1936.
	Man, I don't think we've cracked 2001s, have we?
	We've gotten really close a couple of times.
	In the morning, trolls.
	You can find them if you're a troll.
	If you'd like to learn how to be a troll.
	If you smell like a troll.
	If you live under a bridge like a troll.
	Head on over to noagendastream.com.
	That is where you can find...
	Trolls galore.
	They listen live to many of the shows that are on the stream at the time, which is 24-7.
	You can sample new podcasts, learn stuff, and most importantly, you can troll.
	And now, a huge in-the-morning thank you to Darren O'Neill, who brought us the artwork for episode 1234, probably one of the most exciting numbers in the numerical sequence for this show and our media tribe, who love numerology.
	And Darren did a piece of art which...
	It was just so outstanding.
	This is the SheNN logo.
	With taking the CNN, removing the C, and putting a capital X, and then I in front of it, becoming SheNN, which was smart and genius in so many ways.
	And I think it really helped people clicking on this in podcast apps.
	It was a beauty.
	In fact, it just jumped out at the two of us.
	Now, he credits the idea...
	To Donald Trump Jr.
	Oh really?
	Yeah, he says apparently in one of his tweets, Trump Jr.
	called CNN She-N-N. Oh, okay.
	And so he immediately turned into an art piece and then a number of other artists and other wannabes said, oh man, I heard it and I thought it was funny too, but I didn't think it'd turn into an art piece.
	That's the genius, man.
	That's what it takes.
	That's what you do.
	You gotta jump on it.
	And so his whole hang-up Uh, was whether he should make the, uh, what the color scheme should be.
	So he decided on, he wanted the, he needed the yellow.
	He did, he was going to do she and then all white.
	So it looked like the logo, but he needed the yellow to match up with the red flag.
	Yeah.
	The Chinese flag colors in there.
	Right.
	Right.
	And I don't think except unless he used all yellow, which would have been interesting, but I don't think it would have been as outstanding.
	Uh, he, that, that little thought, uh, O'Neal's a triple threat.
	So this little thought of his to make it yellow, I thought was a moment of sheer genius, because it really made the thing pop, and it gave the symbolism.
	It was a fantastic piece.
	And after three and a half hours of show, and by the way, episode one, two, three, four, the final time of that episode was three hours, 30 minutes, and 33 seconds...
	To which many people said, could you dickheads not have gone an extra three minutes?
	But so you know, that was completely coincidental.
	Random.
	We finished the show, we cut off the end of the ISO, we put the clip in the beginning, and then I look at it, 3.30.33.
	But back to Darren.
	This is top notch.
	This is high quality concept.
	Really good.
	Okay.
	Enough sucking them off.
	This is good.
	Enough of that.
	Enough of that.
	Darren, we love you.
	Thank you so much.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can look at all of the art that is put up there.
	You can also participate.
	It's kind of a contest.
	It's odd, but it works for people who listen live.
	Yeah.
	But I'm so proud because we show our tribe colors, our media tribe colors, every single episode.
	And there's just no one doing it like that.
	And I love giving this example because I talked about it with The Keeper.
	If you and I had finished the show...
	Or maybe halfway through the show, in a commercial break, because of course this is not our podcast, this is a commercial show.
	In the break, John, John, John, I've got a great idea.
	Let's have someone in the graphics department do a She and N logo.
	And I would think that's a fabulous idea.
	And then three weeks later...
	After several meetings about the color, should it be yellow?
	And Gaffer went through legal.
	It got blocked at legal.
	We never actually could use it because of that.
	And that is what makes us unique, and that's the future of media.
	And that's where we are.
	And we also don't have those commercials.
	We have producers who like to support the show financially.
	We always enjoy...
	Thanking our executive producers and associate executive producers right off the bat.
	So let's get cranking.
	Sir Chris Barron of the Carson Valley is at the top of the list with $333.33 talking about 33s.
	Gardnerville, Nevada.
	I don't even know where that is.
	Forgive me, Podfather and Buzzkill.
	It's been many months since my last donation.
	Things have been a little rough in my barony.
	And that was before the virus threw a wrench into work.
	So he says, sir.
	This is KJ. Oh, KJ. Yes, KJ. He's the baron of the something, brother.
	Of Carson Valley.
	Carson Valley.
	Nevertheless, I have gotten so much value from the show, I couldn't pass up chipping in, quote-unquote.
	Keep up the good work, guys.
	Jingles, two to the head, and Pelosi jobs karma.
	Not because I lost mine, but because I'm working two jobs with an average workday of about 22.5 hours times seven days a week.
	Sir Chris.
	Hey, at least he's working.
	He's ahead of the game.
	Thank you, KJ, Sir Chris, Baron of the Carson Valley.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Jonathan Walker, 33333, long-time lister, first-time donor.
	I request a massive dedouching.
	All right.
	Massive!
	You've been dedouched.
	I started listening during the 2016 election when the DNC primary rigging had rendered my amygdala massive until my good buddy Parks hit me in the mouth.
	He's one of my best friends, and I'd like to send him some jobs karma.
	You've got this, my dude.
	Keep it.
	Also, I'd like to offer some help to the No Agenda family in these difficult economic times.
	I run Walker, Texas Trader.
	A business liquidation company.
	Well, you're going to be doing very well.
	Which puts me in a unique position to help small business owners who are shut down and need to turn inventory or equipment into cash to stay afloat until the cower-in-place bullcrap dies down.
	If there's anyone within a few hundred miles of Houston who need help, reach out to us at info at walker.com.
	Okay, well, you can always rewind.
	Info at walkertxtrader.com, all one word.
	And mention no agenda for discounted rates.
	Our family really wants to give back to this community in any way that we can.
	Quick jingle requests.
	See something, say something.
	Two shots to the head and nothing to see here.
	If you see something, say something.
	Don't look over here.
	Nothing to see.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Next, we have Anonymous.
	And Anonymous sent us a note.
	I've been listening since last August after my daughter and her boyfriend told me about your show.
	It's called Hitting You in the Mouth.
	This is an anonymous female.
	I would add that.
	Okay.
	It might make context better.
	All right.
	They said I would not like it, and I'm not accepting their assumptions about me since I immediately love the show and pass it along to my husband.
	He gets me through hours of landscaping cleaning.
	It gets me through hours of landscaping cleaning and cooking.
	This donation brings me halfway to my husband's nighting.
	Figure it should go to him, not me, since I haven't worked outside the house in 25 years, and he foots the bills.
	But that could change now that my COBOL skills are once again in me.
	There you go!
	And you can work from home.
	Can't wait.
	With one of those COBOL terminals.
	I am so happy.
	You know, what I love?
	Is that we can actually put our hands on these people.
	Do you need COBOL programmers?
	We got them.
	We got a COBOL woman.
	She's right here.
	What version do you want?
	We got her right here.
	Hey, she's cute.
	Can't wait to tell my son that I'm not a dinosaur in the world of programming as he believes.
	I started out 30 years ago in the Silicon Valley.
	John, not far from you, I think.
	Thank you for the show, as it is even more valuable to me since the COVID outbreak.
	All of our kids are in the medical profession, docs and PAs, and work with the virus patients, both in the ICU and non-ICU. So frustrating to hear panicked media reports that differ from the actual experiences on the ground.
	Their hospitals are empty, except the same report we get all the time.
	Their hospitals are empty except the modest numbers of COVID patients.
	I'd like to remind Governor DeWine that the reason he shut down our state was to ensure our hospitals did not get inundated all at once with the sick.
	Very good point.
	Very good argumentation point when you're looking at your own state.
	My hospital is doing TikTok videos.
	Can we go back now?
	So now they're empty and it's time to open our state and allow this virus to work its way through the population as it will do anyway.
	Ohio is one of the first states to shutter all non-essential business and as yet, as of this past Monday, we have had 7,153 tested positive and 309 deaths.
	That is out of 11.4 million people.
	This calculates to.0027 deaths.
	And now Ohio has the second highest unemployment claims.
	This is devastating to our state.
	My kids do not seem worried going to work and caring for these patients.
	They take precautions and go about their jobs and feel uncompromised and other people should do the same.
	Thank you for your great coverage.
	I need it more than ever because I have now completely stopped watching the M5M after being a Fox News watcher for decades.
	Tucker's early coverage was so over-the-top fear-mongering that I decided I could go cold turkey.
	Thank you again for all your diligent work to bring real news to your listeners.
	No jingles except China asshole.
	Maybe a couple times since it bears repeating.
	Happy birthday to my husband Steve.
	Oh, put him on the list.
	Oh, shoot.
	Hold on.
	From Columbus turns 60 next week.
	Okay, so Steve from Columbus.
	60 next week?
	Just whatever time?
	Whatever.
	Okay.
	That's good enough.
	Good enough for me.
	Okay.
	Steve from Columbus.
	60 next week.
	Good.
	And China is asshole.
	China is asshole!
	China is asshole!
	That's pretty cool, actually.
	Karma.
	I think there was a karma.
	Maybe.
	Well, you know what?
	I thought you said no jingles, no karma.
	No, I never said that.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, we'll do it again.
	Chinese asshole!
	You've got karma.
	Pretty cool, right?
	Yeah, it sounds good.
	You run it like that.
	Something nice about that.
	There goes our visas.
	So much for the Forbidden City.
	Which is pretty...
	I'll stop here.
	The Forbidden City is over-hyped, just for you to know.
	Okay, well, thanks.
	There's plenty to see in China, and some beautiful things, and the Great Wall is one of the things everyone should witness.
	But the Forbidden City, yeah.
	Oh, really?
	It's kind of like when I went to Thailand for the long necks and the big sign, long necks this way?
	Is it that idea?
	Is it kind of touristy?
	It's not even touristy.
	I saw it before the...
	Before the 97, I saw it.
	It's not...
	It's boring.
	It's boring.
	That's what it is.
	China is asshole!
	China is asshole!
	What?
	I can go on forever.
	The Great Wall.
	The Great Wall.
	Okay, that one's good.
	All right.
	Sir Tim of the Tunnels in Waipahu.
	Waipahu.
	Waipahu.
	Yeah, Hawaii.
	Waipahu.
	247-16.
	That's Hawaii.
	Yep.
	A Fibonacci show?
	A Fibonacci for each of you.
	Thanks for continuing to defend reality and helping to keep the amygdala at a healthy size, although among my fellow essential co-workers, makes me sound like a movie cliche.
	I'm not crazy.
	I'm the only one sane here.
	Yeah.
	In this case, it's actually true.
	The rona here in Hawaii is apparently attracted to sand.
	And this affinity has prompted our governor in his infinite wisdom to close the beaches.
	You can still use the ocean to swim and surf, but God help you if you linger on the beach.
	You would be absolute pandemonium!
	Yes, the beaches are back open!
	Woohoo!
	Yeah!
	You know, because the Rona is lurking in the sand.
	Yes, it's in the sand.
	It's lurking on its tan and such.
	This is the governor that wants to cut state employee salaries, including teachers, by 20% because the state isn't bringing in any revenue because tourism is the basket we decided to put all our eggs in.
	Oh, brother.
	The fact that the state is sitting on over a billion dollars in its rainy day fund is completely irrelevant.
	You gotta love Island Living.
	It should be grateful I'm still working and count my blessings.
	Thanks for reading the rant.
	No jingles.
	Goat karma for those who need it.
	Sir Tim of the Tunnels comes through.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Here's your goat karma.
	You've got karma.
	She was just, uh, damed just on the last show, I believe.
	She's now a dame of the crystal core in Hilversum, Hilversum, Hilversum.
	It's showbiz city of the Netherlands.
	Is it?
	It's showbiz city, yeah, Hilversum.
	That's Hollywood.
	It's the Hollywood of Holland, yeah.
	Hollywood of Holland.
	Dame of the Crystal Core with a humble request for good health and good spirit karma for all.
	The dame who hasn't donated yet is a dame douchebag.
	So please...
	Douche and then de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I donated two times 123.5, which is two double of Fibonacci's.
	Yeah, beautiful.
	Which adds up to the amount of time I love my dear soon-to-be hub and our amazing kid 24-7.
	Of course, it's also the amount of time all us listeners would like to hear you doing a live stream of the best podcasts in the universe.
	Especially nowadays.
	But I know.
	Dream on.
	I would like to use 123.5 to help Mark and his quest for knighthood.
	If that's okay, signing off with it.
	You keep the counting and it's okay with us.
	Signing off with the big digital thus sterile and safe hug.
	Thank you so much for doing what you do.
	Love you.
	P.S. John.
	Always wanted to let you know I agree.
	The Rise of Skywalker sucked.
	Gosh, things I'm never going to watch.
	You can be a member of the club.
	What?
	The It Sucks Club?
	The It Sucks Club.
	Next on the list, Tristan Onion Martens in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	2-12-35.
	Shout out to my smoking hot wife for her birthday on April 19th, episode 123.5.
	Here in Wisconsin, our governor, our sweet governor, decided to extend our safer-at-home lockdown until May 26th.
	What?
	I don't have the quote in front of me.
	May 26th?
	That's not going to happen.
	Yeah, can you believe it?
	It's not going to happen.
	I don't have the quote in front of me, but he says that nothing will go back to normal in this state until we have an actual vaccine.
	Oh, brother.
	Thanks, Dr.
	Bill.
	We don't want to go on a rant about how much the bullcrap this is, but maybe a couple of jingles like orange, China is asshole, and how about some jobs karma for everybody unfortunate to be stuck at home during this glorified war.
	Flu.
	Signed Tristan Onion-Martins.
	Orange!
	Chinese asshole!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Thanks, Tristan.
	Aaron Cole came in 2-12-34 from Watsonville.
	He says, I hope this isn't coming through too late, but wanted to donate to episode 1234.
	It's been a long while since I sent my value for value.
	The show has been great as always, but especially been helpful in these interesting times.
	Big hello to my fellow slaves, Julian and Alexa Love and Light.
	Shut Up Slave and WTC7, Jingle Please.
	Do you think he wants the...
	Not the Italian one, the regular Shut Up Slave, I guess.
	Yeah.
	This is an example.
	We get a lot of these notes.
	I mean, not just execs and associate executive producers, but a lot of people.
	It's been good.
	And I think that's part of the troll room being so full as well.
	It's...
	It's cathartic, people!
	We're doing a good thing here!
	WTC7 won't go away!
	And...
	Shut up, slave!
	There you go.
	You can read the next one.
	This is from David Knauss in Petrolia, Ontario, Scandinavia.
	And right off the bat has a couple of...
	See, this is what you always do to me.
	He's like, okay, I will do these...
	I'll read this and at the same time I'll be getting the jingles.
	It's very interesting.
	He's got four arms.
	I really don't.
	What does he say?
	The Scandinavian government has told families we are all getting an extra $300 per child during Corona Fest.
	I like Corona Fest.
	I like Corona Fest, too.
	That's very funny.
	So I thought, what better way to handle it than to donate young Julia Naus's $300 towards her damehood and on her 16th birthday, which is April 19th, no less.
	That would be today.
	I then added the last $2 to put her over the limit toward her damehood.
	Although I would like to claim the executive producer credit for myself, can you?
	Come on, you Scandinavian parents.
	What else could you possibly have to do with your money but pitch in?
	I recently hit a friend in the mouth and he has thanked me for balancing out his listening as he was a hard lefty and he tells me that this show calms him down a lot.
	Yes, it's the amygdala effect.
	In response to that, I think the only proper thing would be to call him out.
	Jeremy, you knew this was coming!
	Douchebag!
	Also, to Trevor...
	Douchebag!
	And Max Collette...
	Douchebag!
	You are both placed on notice as douchebags.
	Truly the best podcast in the universe.
	Dave Knauss and Oma insists it's pronounced Nas like Nas.
	Oh, Dave Knauss, like Nas.
	Yeah, Dave Knauss.
	And Julia would be like to call Dame Julia.
	Oh, I don't have this yet.
	But we, Weaver of the Words, first of Nas.
	Hold on a second, John.
	Can you give me that order?
	Because I didn't have all of this on my sheet.
	Yeah, sure.
	Because I've got to send this...
	I mean, they hate it when I do this during the show.
	What did they want me to order for the roundtable?
	Dave knows.
	It's like a chai in something.
	I'm not even seeing it on here.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Geez.
	Chai tea and apples with peanut butter.
	Chai tea and apples with peanut butter.
	Okay, so that's in there.
	And then we had...
	Jesus, complicated.
	Jingles, backup, backup, backup, and pretty good.
	Was there any other karma?
	Uh, I don't see the karma request.
	Okay.
	Well, we'll give it just in case.
	Just in case.
	We'll do it just in case.
	Yeah, we'll do it just in case.
	A backup and a backup to that backup and a backup to the backup to the backup.
	Son of a bitch.
	Gun.
	You thought I was going to say a son of a bitch, didn't you?
	I'm the President of the United States.
	I have all of the power.
	I think that sounds pretty good.
	You've got karma.
	Next is Stephanie Simons.
	And she came in at 204.20 in Brandonton, Florida.
	A donation to my favorite podcast.
	Thank you for keeping me entertained and informed, especially during the quarantine.
	I've been very lucky to spend this time with my boyfriend, who hit me in the face.
	Boy, he's a lousy shot.
	That's not protocol.
	I'm normally gone for long periods of times at sea.
	By the way, she's a wave, maybe.
	By the way, thanks for your good karma.
	My crew and I made it back to the States safely.
	We were traveling back from the Caribbean.
	Oh, no, she's on a yacht.
	On the yacht that we work on.
	Oh!
	Yeah.
	She's a yacht worker.
	That's cool.
	All burned out well.
	I'm sorry.
	All turned out well.
	And we made it to Florida.
	And after a little shakedown, they let us stay.
	The main reason for reaching out to you on this episode is to wish my smoking hot boyfriend, Ewan.
	Ewan.
	Ewan.
	Happy birthday.
	April 20th is the big day.
	It's extremely special to me.
	And I am super grateful to be able to spend the day with him.
	Even if we're on lockdown.
	Happy birthday, sir.
	Ramen noodles!
	Love you, babe.
	Thank you, John and Adam, for all you do.
	XXX, your loyal listener, Steph.
	Aw, how nice.
	Well, he's on the list, so we'll do it all over again for you after the second donation segment.
	And our final associate executive producer for today is Alex.
	Yes, and then I do have one note to read before we kick it off.
	Alex Simkus in Burien, Washington, which is right outside the airport.
	$200.
	I would like to make this donation on behalf of Connor and Christina at Beachview Farm.
	So can you make a note?
	We'll put them on the list.
	Associate Liz instead of him.
	Yes.
	The meeting was amazing and they were excellent hosts.
	Yes, I have a meet-up report for later.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah.
	Where else can a group of misfit strangers get together and have such a good time?
	Yeah, misfits.
	We owe these two for a good time on a Sunday, Saturday in one of the most beautiful places imaginable.
	I figure they deserve some credit for their impromptu Petting zoo that also functions as a burger factory.
	What?
	As a burger factory?
	What?
	This is definitely not owned by China.
	Sounds like it is owned by China.
	A petting zoo slash burger factory.
	All right.
	Wow.
	Cool.
	It does sound rather oriental.
	Yes, this will be his last pet, Amy.
	This will be his last pet.
	Yeah.
	This is an amazing show you two do, John and Adam, that you pull together a bunch of small amygdala big brains into a real community that's more than just a group of people consuming the same media.
	Keep on keeping on!
	Keep on keeping it real, and thank you for your courage.
	P.S. No jingles, no karma.
	Let's get back to the dynamite content.
	Okay, I do have one more note, which refers to a 3333 donation that had no note.
	No, it does.
	Okay.
	Jesse Dean, my smoking hot husband and I have fervently been faithful listeners since discovering the show last November, so I'm requesting an overdue de-douching first and foremost.
	Oops.
	You've been de-douched.
	I'm so hooked that the weight between each show is absolutely unbearable.
	It's indeed true value.
	If the current COVID plannedemic...
	Plandemic, yes.
	I like plannedemic.
	I like it too.
	It's a planned-demic.
	Doesn't slow down things too much.
	We're planning to move from the Bay Area to L.A. in June.
	Why?
	So a jobs karma for both of us would be most appreciated.
	Thank you for your dedicated analysis, John and Adam.
	Life would be so dark without you.
	Aww.
	It's like we're little LED lights.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	That would have been the last show, and the planned Demick would have been a contender for show title.
	Yes.
	So that's our group of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1235.
	I want to thank each and every one of them for keeping this show going, especially for their efforts.
	Yes, and during this very trying time, if you ever need to get some great entertainment, just go to ronaradio.com.
	I've been registering domain names.
	It's so boring.
	RonaRadio.com takes you to the NoAgendaExperience.com, which is a great place for more entertainment.
	It's RonaRadio.com.
	Tell your friends all about it.
	And thanks to our executive producers and associate executive producers.
	Always there.
	Always there to help us.
	Nice to see the women coming in.
	We love the dames.
	We have a nonstop, continuous dame drive.
	And I'm happy to say that we will see a couple people coming At the round table during our second donation break.
	Again, value for value.
	You're keeping it running.
	The notes alone are really worth it.
	I really love hearing how everyone's staying sane, alone together.
	We can do it.
	Yes, that's right.
	We can do one of those commercials on our own, can't we, John?
	We got the formula.
	Oh, absolutely.
	We need piano music.
	I don't have the proper piano music.
	I'll tell you what, we'll work on one and actually produce one.
	Oh, that'd be cool.
	Since 2007, we've been with you.
	With you.
	Yeah, okay, we'll work on it.
	And we will be with you again on Thursday.
	We are here twice a week, both days Thursdays or Sundays, depending on which calendar you're working on.
	We do it live at NoahGenestream.com, but most importantly, if you'd like to support us for our Thursday show, please do so.
	Go to Dvorak.org slash NA. And by now, you know it's a petting zoo and a burger factory!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What?
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I do have, you know, I played those clips about Amy and her preoccupation with the Wuhan lab.
	Yeah.
	And all of Trump hate.
	See if you can spot a little, this is the Wuhan update revised.
	See if you can spot the kind of a misuse of a word here that you had to correct yourself.
	Sure.
	China's revised the death toll from COVID-19 in Wuhan upward by 50%, saying nearly 3,900 people have died since the novel coronavirus first emerged in Wuhan, a city of 11 million people late last year.
	The devised, the revised death toll...
	The devised.
	Very good.
	Let's hear that again.
	People late last year.
	The devised, the revised death toll.
	That's almost as good as Trump's anti-rival.
	Geez.
	Wow.
	That's the truth wants to come out there, huh?
	Something wants to come out.
	Who knows what wants to come out of Amy?
	Something wants to come out of Amy.
	So I'm watching, by the way, I hate to say this, but I've always thought that Margaret Brennan, who does the Face the Nation show, goes off at the same time as the Meet the Press with Todd, whatever his name is.
	Chip Todd.
	And it's like she's always attractive, but because she's obviously in the media and you brainwash yourself if you're all caught up in the Trump hate.
	And you get amygdala swells up and it starts to show on your face.
	I want anyone to look at the show now and look at her and think, is this a very young Amy Goodman?
	She's getting that Amy Goodman look very slowly.
	Who's getting the Amy Goodman?
	Margaret Brennan.
	Margaret Brennan is the hostess of Face the Nation.
	She took the show over a couple years ago.
	And because she's getting so...
	So, I don't know, intense.
	Yeah, I'm looking at her pictures now.
	You have to imagine her slowly evolving into a clone of Amy Goodman.
	You know, kind of the straggly hair and the no makeup.
	You know, this time at home has not been good for you, John.
	A little concerned about what you're doing with your extra time.
	Yeah.
	I can see it.
	Yeah, I can see it.
	There's nothing more, nothing less, nothing more, nothing less.
	I can see it.
	I can see it.
	Yes.
	Here's this clip.
	Amazon, apparently, they don't like Amazon at Democracy Now!
	Amy doesn't like them, and here we go.
	A report by two grassroots workers' rights organizations suggests coronavirus cases in U.S. Amazon warehouses will likely exponentially increase in the coming days as the corporation refuses to shut down some of its facilities even when workers test positive for COVID-19.
	More than half of Amazon's 110 warehouse facilities in the country have reported cases of coronavirus.
	Meanwhile, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has told shareholders he now wants to test all employees for COVID-19.
	Despite the economic crisis triggered by the pandemic, Amazon stock continues to climb, lifting Bezos personal fortune to nearly one hundred forty billion dollars.
	In related news, Amazon has shut down all of its warehouses in France after a court ruled Tuesday.
	The company needs to reassess the safety of its workers during the pandemic.
	No one likes Amazon anymore.
	This is really a bad story, though.
	When they showed – she started talking about Bezos and his personal wealth.
	They showed the picture of him with that va-va-voom girl.
	Yes, the va-va-voom girl.
	So he's standing next to her, and he's wearing some sort of lampshade or some horrible-looking tasteless dress.
	You know, Johnny Versace for men kind of...
	Oh!
	Yeah, like a guy with too much money who's just wrong on him.
	A guy with too much money and no taste whatsoever.
	He belongs in Saint-Tropez at Club Sank-on-Sank.
	Yeah, and he's there standing there with a shit-eating grin on his face, and she's towering over him, you know, with these big booms on her.
	It's just like, I'm...
	So that's what they show is the image, you know.
	So this is a slanted, classic, left slanted report.
	I just don't like the way these people cover things.
	It just bothers me.
	Sorry.
	That's okay.
	I'm cool with that.
	Did you have more?
	Not about...
	Well, yeah, I do.
	There's another...
	This is actually an interesting report because I guess some people are getting stir-crazy.
	Again, from democracy.
	A lot of democracy.
	I kind of specialize in this.
	Because once in a while, they'll load up a show.
	This Boeing's going back to work.
	They want to, anyway.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	I guess they got some stimuli.
	In Washington state, Boeing says it'll begin bringing 27,000 workers back to factories to resume production of airplanes.
	It's the first large-scale attempt by a U.S. manufacturer to resume operations.
	Yeah, that's good.
	But didn't they get to...
	Did they even take stimulus money?
	I'm not even sure they did.
	Oh, they'll get money.
	They will, but I thought they were going without it for a bit.
	So do you want to go around the world with some COVID reports and get that out of the way?
	I think we should do that.
	Let's spin the wheel as we go around the world for some COVID reports, ladies and gentlemen.
	Where it stops, nobody knows.
	Only John C. Devorak can tell us where we're going.
	What country do we check out today?
	Well, let's go through the states.
	A report by CBS taking us from one to another is COVID states reopening.
	Okay, COVID states reopening.
	Tonight, the streets of New York City remain virtually empty, but on the heels of the president's new three-phased plan to reopen America, some states are slowly inching back in.
	Tonight, beaches in Jacksonville, Florida will reopen, but no more than 10 in a crowd.
	First, we inform.
	Tell the people what the rules are.
	Then we warn if they don't comply, and then we take additional action if necessary if they still don't comply.
	Texas will allow some retail to go, but not permit in-store shopping.
	Minnesota will allow golf courses to open this weekend.
	Wisconsin's governors...
	Austin's also opened their golf courses for some reason.
	...said lawn care businesses might be able to operate, and Idaho will allow non-essential businesses like craft dog groomers to open their doors.
	Still, some workers are concerned.
	Andy Revell works on Navy ships in Virginia and led a strike this week after one of his co-workers died.
	We're literally scared.
	It's like the ship is haunted by a ghost that's everywhere.
	That's the environment we work in all day.
	And as debate over reopening continues, news of treatment progress.
	Gilead, the maker of the drug Remdesivir, saw a surge in its stock price on news reports that the drug helped COVID-19 patients in Chicago.
	New York, with 600 more deaths in the last 24 hours, is still a hot spot.
	The city announced it's canceling outdoor concerts until June, but the governor today said he knew patients was wearing thin.
	The situation we're in now is unsustainable.
	People can't stay in their homes.
	For this length of time.
	They can't stay out of work.
	You can't keep the economy closed forever.
	You just can't.
	This was the first clip I have heard that said something positive about a therapeutic.
	And this is what we were talking about at the beginning of the show, whereas we've had lots of successes with people walking out of the hospital just a day after receiving hydroxychloroquine Pretty much no reporting on it, but when it comes to the Gilead, the $1,000 non-generic pill...
	Let me play that bit again.
	Coincidence?
	Very interesting.
	...on news reports that the drug helped COVID-19 progress.
	Gilead, the maker of the drug Remdesivir, saw a surge in its stock price on news reports that the drug helped COVID-19 patients in Chicago.
	Not only...
	Jeez, reporting on the stock price...
	This is absolutely shameless.
	You push down this generic drug, which has been doing perfectly fine, and you don't mention it at all other than snake oil, Trump, orange.
	And then once it's Gilead, once you're in that Gilead camp, oh yeah, then we're all good to go.
	I have nothing but profanity, so I'll just be quiet.
	Yes, please.
	Please keep it clean.
	Fish tank cleaner!
	Let's go to Puerto Rico.
	Puerto Rico for the COVID-19.
	That was the worst Puerto Rican accent ever.
	In Puerto Rico, protesters in cars rallied Wednesday outside the island's government-funded public television station, WIPR, denouncing what they called propaganda produced by Governor Wanda Vasquez about the coronavirus pandemic.
	Protesters also demanded more COVID-19 testing on the island.
	Elsewhere, emergency medical workers held a protest that ended in front of the governor's mansion, demanding they be included in the government's economic coronavirus relief package.
	I wonder how much testing they demand.
	This is another theme of democracy now.
	Testing, testing, testing.
	Well, Nancy Pelosi started that, testing, testing, testing.
	And there's been different reasons for it throughout the different phases of this.
	It's insanity.
	People actually think that the way to do it is to have 350 million tests.
	Everyone takes a test every day to know if you're good to go.
	That's how stupid.
	Again, again, again, because things change.
	But okay, let's move to Venezuela and Chile.
	In South America, hundreds of Venezuelan migrants attempting to return home after losing their jobs in neighboring countries say they're being housed in squalid and crowded quarantine facilities where they're afraid coronavirus could rapidly spread.
	In Chile, as the country remains in a nationwide coronavirus lockdown, anti-government and anti-austerity protesters are continuing the movement from inside their homes using social media.
	Each Friday night, quarantined Chileans stand in their gardens or balconies banging pots demanding the release of people arrested during recent mass protests.
	I just realized...
	Sorry, did you have a comment about Venezuela?
	No, I know, but you just imagine people standing in their front yard banging pots.
	Yeah, like the crazy moms.
	I just realized we were way ahead of the curve.
	On testing.
	We did a testing song.
	I'll give you the date.
	Holy crap, was it that long ago?
	Looks like it might have been 2018.
	Yes, 2018.
	The testing.
	Would you like to hear the testing song?
	Oh, we're all ears.
	It's only 32 seconds.
	I want to do the song.
	I want to do the song.
	You ready?
	Testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing to you.
	Testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing to you.
	Testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing.
	Modulation.
	Testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing, testing.
	Testing, son.
	Testing.
	Testing.
	Why the fuck do I not have a recorder running?
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't mean for that part to be on there.
	Yeah, it's the testing song.
	From the future as usual, Mr. DeForest.
	Devorak.
	You can't beat it.
	That's right.
	Next country.
	Let's go to this one.
	This is slightly different.
	This is Bolsonaro.
	By the way, Bolsonaro, the right-wing ruler of Brazil.
	The Trump of Brazil.
	They hate him.
	The Trump of Brazil.
	The Trump of Brazil.
	In Brazil, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro abruptly fired Health Minister Luiz Henrique Mendeta on Thursday after Mendeta repeatedly urged Brazilians to practice social distancing measures.
	Bolsonaro, who's a staunch ally of President Trump, has dismissed COVID-19 as a fantasy and a little flu.
	Bolsonaro has repeatedly ignored stay-at-home orders issued by Brazilian governors joining political rallies and shaking hands with constituents.
	At his final press briefing Thursday, Mandetta warned the coronavirus will continue to claim lives.
	Staunch supporter.
	Staunch is what he does.
	Staunch supporter.
	He's giving a yellow skin, orange skin.
	COVID, Guatemala.
	This will get to the end here.
	In Guatemala, Al Jazeera reports rural and indigenous communities are increasingly afraid of the potentially devastating impacts coronavirus could have on their people as they question whether the country's already troubled and fragile health system is able to adequately respond to the coronavirus outbreak.
	Don't worry, we'll have their doctors on TikTok pretty soon.
	Dancing.
	Yeah, no doubt about that.
	And now we can go and this will wrap it.
	This is a two-parter.
	This is an NYC report.
	Again, Amy will be telling us what's going on there.
	Here in New York, health officials reported another 606 COVID-19 deaths Thursday, bringing the statewide death toll to more than 12,000.
	But the number of hospitalizations continues to fall, suggesting New York has passed its peak of coronavirus infections.
	As of 8 p.m.
	this evening, New Yorkers are required to carry facial coverings whenever they leave their homes and to wear masks when social distancing is not possible.
	Wait a minute.
	Facial coverings?
	Facial coverings.
	Okay.
	Scarf.
	Yeah.
	But this is interesting because there's two...
	I have a CBS report.
	I don't know which clip it is, but...
	There's two reports.
	One, you have to carry a mask if you can't social distance, which is now a verb or a noun.
	It's both.
	And a verb.
	You have to carry the mask.
	It's a petting zoo and a burger factory.
	Well, that's different because that's a fact.
	You can't pet this little boy anymore because he's going to the burger factory.
	So you have the...
	That report.
	But the other one that says you have to wear the mask all the time.
	The other one says you don't have to wear the mask all the time.
	I don't know.
	Do you have to wear the mask all the time?
	Or do you just have to have the mask with you and you have to wear it when you have to wear it?
	So the way I understand it is you have to have the face covering with you all the time.
	So if they're in a spot where you can't social distance, i.e.
	the disco, if you're in the disco, then you can put your face on.
	Somebody's got a phony up a photo of everybody in a disco with a mask on.
	In the disco.
	In the disco.
	Disco!
	He might as well play part two of New York.
	Governor Andrew Cuomo refused Thursday to commit to providing emergency relief to millions of undocumented immigrants living in New York after California announced one-time payments of up to $1,000 per immigrant household.
	Hmm.
	When you are broke, it would be irresponsible to do these things.
	I do hope and believe the federal government should have a more inclusive policy.
	Well, we're looking at it, but we have real financial problems right now.
	Wait a minute, wait a minute.
	Explain that one, because he said he wanted to give $1,000, but then they're broke?
	No, no, the $1,000 is in California.
	She just mentioned that in contrast.
	They're giving $1,000 in California.
	We should be able to do that.
	We're in New York.
	We're more important than California.
	So what it is, though, is it turns out that back in October of last year, before any of this started up, New York's It was in arrears by 6.6 or so billion dollars.
	And they were going to have to ask for a federal bailout.
	New York is almost broke.
	Or it is broke.
	And now, because they shut down the whole place, it's broke.
	It's broke, broke.
	So this place is going to go down the tubes, the entire area.
	And people are trying to move out of the city.
	Well, no, that's not true.
	That's not true.
	Because they'll still have the New York Met.
	Funded and well.
	Yeah, the Met.
	I think they fired everybody.
	No, the Met got all the money.
	The Met got $35 million.
	No, they fired everybody and took the money.
	The New York way.
	It was $30 million or something.
	It was enough to keep them going.
	But they're not going to have any shows.
	Broadway's done.
	Yep.
	All the performing, the New York Yankees, none of these things are going to do anything for at least a year, because they freaked everybody out so much.
	The worst part is people view the pictures of empty New York, the New York streets, they're probably thinking to themselves, why the hell did I really want to go there in the first place?
	This is a problem.
	It's crowded.
	It can't be looked at lightly.
	Yeah.
	People are starting to reconsider their priorities.
	Which is a good thing.
	Well, it is a good thing, but it's not a good thing if you own Live Nation or you own one of these big production companies that does giant events.
	Yeah.
	I can't imagine what Live Nation stock looks like.
	They're one of the big event producers.
	Yeah, they're probably in the same league as Carnival Cruise Lines.
	They're not in good shape.
	And then you've got your Yankees, you've got your Mets, and you've got the New York Knicks, and the Madison Square Gardens.
	I mean, that's a probably held company.
	I mean, this is not...
	A pleasant sight for New York.
	Live Nation, $38, and it's coming down from $75.
	Yeah, it's got a long way to go.
	Yeah, it's no bueno for them.
	No bueno.
	Anyway, it's not a good thing.
	The president spent a significant amount of time yesterday during his briefing explaining to everyone who wanted to watch what fake news is.
	And it kind of, it was very interesting to see because he really got into it in explaining that he has to do this every single day.
	It is very repetitive.
	The repetition of him saying things just, it makes my eyes bleed sometimes.
	I have to hand it to them, though.
	People remember things when you say it over and over and over and over again.
	He knows that much, for sure.
	He does.
	He knows that.
	And he's had a lot of success with even his fake news label, although he didn't come up with it.
	He certainly propelled it and used it.
	So the first thing that happened, and this might have set him off, was just a funny exchange between yet another new journo in the crew.
	It's already very sparse.
	I think there's only 20 journalists at the White House briefings now because of social distancing.
	And then...
	And so the guy asks, obviously, a scripted question.
	And the president has learned to deal with these jimokes better.
	And he really, you know, nipped the guy.
	Thank you, sir.
	Thank you very much, Mr.
	President.
	Last week you claimed that you were charged of everything, yet the American people don't understand why you're unwilling to use the awesome powers of your presidency to make American companies manufacture the PPE and...
	This is a set-up question, by the way.
	So we have the Democrats are going to try to impeach the president again, and it will be based upon...
	Took too long, didn't respond, and didn't use the Defense Production Act, which he has, but not in the way the Democrats wanted it, which is top-down control, kind of like Atlas Shrugged.
	A dictator.
	A dictator, yes.
	That's what they wanted him to do.
	...presidency to make American companies manufacture PPE and also the testing equipment that you need to implement, implement your recommendations.
	I know, but who are you with?
	I was TMN. Recommendations for...
	TMN. What is Talk Media News?
	What?
	My name is Doug Christian with Talk Media News.
	Talk Media News.
	Go ahead, keep reading your questions.
	The thing is how to make companies build these testing equipment so that you can do what you want.
	We're doing it right now with ventilators.
	We have General Motors.
	We have General Electric.
	So you already caught him telling the guy to keep reading his question, right?
	Oh, yeah.
	He's going to come back to that.
	Eleven different companies, great companies, building them for us all over the United States.
	We're starting to make our own gowns, as they call it.
	We're making some incredible things.
	And as far as the testing is concerned, most of that now is done in the United States.
	We're doing it in the United States, our different platforms.
	And so I just don't think you were listening.
	Senators were complaining to our vice president.
	Which senators?
	Well, independent Senator Angus King.
	He's not an independent, okay?
	Angus King is worse than any Democrat.
	Go ahead.
	But he said that he was livid, actually.
	Of course he said that.
	Because he's a Democrat, okay?
	Angus King is not an independent.
	He uses that term for whatever reason.
	It's a waste of time.
	He's not a very emotive type of senator.
	Oh, yes, he is.
	You haven't seen him.
	Okay, you haven't seen him.
	No.
	Angus King is a Democrat, and that was totally staged.
	I heard that.
	And it was totally staged.
	Just like you read the question, he read his question.
	Yeah, please, in the back.
	See, he's catching on.
	He's got these things.
	He's got them, right?
	He knows that this guy was set up with Angus King to come in, ask that specific question, because Angus King would make a big deal about it.
	So he's starting to catch on to this stuff.
	And handling it much better than he used to.
	Well, I think he's always caught on to it.
	Yeah, but he's handling it better.
	I think your point is that he's handling it better.
	By the way, the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group would like to make a recommendation to the president.
	I think if you really want to get people to shut up about the Defense Production Act...
	I would recommend the following.
	I, Donald J. Trump, President, 45th President of the United States, these United States of America, hereby use the awesome power of the United States federal government to evoke the Defense Production Act to force the New York Times to produce toilet paper.
	We are out of toilet paper and the New York Times shall be producing it for us.
	And then the punchline is with somebody or somebody's got to say he's going to be the straight man that's saying, hey, wait a second.
	They already do.
	But then the President got into it, explaining to the people what fake news is, how it works, and why he has to continuously address it.
	And this came as part of another news story, which I do have for after our next break.
	There's been some important developments in the Russia collusion case, particularly as it pertains to the FBI and the now apparently...
	The FISA warrants, which should never have been issued based upon what was available to issue them.
	So he gets into this.
	The media's been some very honest, but some very dishonest.
	You know that.
	You know that.
	I even read a story where Mark Meadows was a tough guy.
	He was crying.
	He was crying.
	Mark Meadows is his new chief of staff.
	In the New York Times, Maggie Haberman wrote a...
	Let me see if I have it here.
	For Mark Meadows, the transition to Trump's chief of staff is a hard one.
	Mark Meadows has officially been President Trump's fourth White House chief of staff for less than three weeks.
	In that time, he has shaken up the communications office, angering supporters of the press secretary he chose to replace.
	He has tried to put in place other speedy changes, hoping to succeed where his three predecessors failed.
	He has hunted aggressively for leaks.
	And then it says here...
	Weeks into the job, Mr.
	Meadows has confronted the same problems that frustrated his three predecessors.
	It hasn't helped him with his new White House colleagues that he's emotional and sometimes cries.
	So that's the Maggie Haberman...
	Now, that's the Maggie Haberman piece, which came after Trump made her look like a doofus in that clip, the Supercuts clip he played on stage earlier this week, which included a voiceover pretending to be Maggie Haberman.
	So anyway, he's going to explain how this works, how the mainstream media functions.
	He was crazy.
	This is Maggie Haberman.
	You know, she won a Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of Russia, but she was wrong in Russia.
	So was everyone else.
	They should all give back their Pulitzer Prizes.
	In fact, it turned out that the crime was committed by the other side.
	The crime was not committed by this side.
	It was committed by the other side.
	A bunch of bad people.
	You saw the reports coming out over the last two weeks.
	They got caught.
	So Maggie Haberman gets a Pulitzer brush.
	She's a third-rate reporter.
	That's just the setup.
	New York Times.
	And we put her name up here last week.
	You saw that.
	People thought it was a commercial.
	It wasn't a commercial.
	It's like a commercial, but it wasn't a commercial.
	It was just clips.
	Just clips.
	And because we exposed her as being a bad reporter, what happened is she came out and said, Mark Meadows was crying.
	And they made it sound...
	I said, Mark, and it's okay if he did.
	I wouldn't, you know, look...
	But I think he was crying probably really for the wrong reason they had it down.
	But he's not a crier.
	And if he was, I've known cries.
	I could tell you people that you know that are very famous, they cry.
	And that's okay, too.
	But it was a nasty story in so many ways.
	It was fake news.
	And she only did it because we exposed her for being a terrible, dishonest reporter.
	She is.
	I've known her for a long while.
	I haven't spoken to her in a long time.
	I made the mistake.
	I take a picture with her at the desk a long time ago.
	People cry, John.
	It's okay.
	It's okay if you cry, but, you know...
	I like the way he handles this.
	It's okay if you cry.
	It's okay if you cry.
	He's walking a tightrope.
	But now, now, now he's gonna stick the dagger in.
	I haven't spoken to her in long, many, many, many months.
	Maybe years.
	I don't speak to her.
	She's fake.
	A lot of people are fake.
	A lot of people.
	We got a lot of fake people.
	But what happens is she writes this story as retribution.
	Puts it in the New York Times.
	And the New York Times is a very dishonest newspaper.
	It's my opinion.
	It's not an opinion.
	It's actually from my standpoint.
	The very hard thing to figure, though, most people wouldn't know that, but I know because I know the facts.
	And they make up, I said it today, they make up words.
	Sources say, most often you, sources say.
	You know what sources say means?
	Sources say means they have nobody.
	And they make it up.
	Okay?
	And they have a few other...
	Type statements that mean the same thing.
	But sources say, as the most often used expression in the Washington Post, New York Times especially, CNN, fake news, CNN, they should really be mandated, and I mean mandated, to use a name.
	If there's a source, use a name.
	Say that Kayleigh What Kayleigh McEnany said, or somebody...
	And you'd find out that the...
	Number one, the source wouldn't say it.
	The sources don't exist.
	I don't believe the sources exist.
	And I try and tell this.
	You know, the beautiful thing about doing these conferences is that we have tremendous numbers of viewers and I'm able to reach the viewers without having to go through fake news where they make a good story into a bad story.
	So, with all of that...
	It's been an incredible period of time.
	So this is what he's doing with his briefings.
	Just pulling apart.
	That's why these people, like, what's his name, or what's her name that was on?
	We had her doing her fact checks.
	On the last show with the clip of fact checks, it wasn't fact checks at all.
	They were just bull crap.
	They keep saying they want Trump to stop being on television.
	They say the network should pull the plug on him.
	The networks are thinking, well, people like to watch this.
	If only one network plays him, usually the public will be drawn to that.
	They'll kill the other network's money stream.
	It's just they don't know what to do with this guy except hate him.
	Well, they're very successful at that.
	They're good at the hating.
	And at this point, I really have to think that this president is so secure in what he's doing.
	He is ripping apart or trying to kick down so many holy homes, holy houses, beehives that need to be kicked over.
	He must have like a kill switch file.
	He's got to have something that if he gets taken out, is going to get released.
	And people know it.
	They killed JFK over less than what he's doing.
	And I mean this sincerely.
	Same thing.
	I don't know.
	Going after the secret societies, the cabal, the boulet, the Illuminati, the elites.
	It's the same fight.
	He definitely goes after the globalists and their representatives, and their representatives are the New York Times and CNN. These are all globalist operations of Washington Post.
	They want a global government.
	They don't like the United States.
	They'd like a one-world government.
	I mean, we're okay for what we do, but, you know, a one-world government would be so much better because you'd have some single point of control and you can coordinate things.
	That's what you need.
	Because even with this COVID thing, if it wasn't for the coordination between all, you know, some central operation is much needed.
	I think I have a clip.
	Oh.
	Don't have it handy.
	Well, I have a clip for you right at this moment.
	At this hour, I'm reporting on this clip.
	And this is what the President was talking about.
	In the past two weeks, there has been quite a flurry of news, and the news surrounds one small thing that's happened, but I think big in its results, is the declassification of the footnotes in the, I think, the Mueller report?
	Which, of course, is now going to lead to, say it with me, John, thousands of sealed indictments.
	Here is WML Washington talking to...
	He's back, ladies and gentlemen.
	Oh, no.
	All right, so Joe, on Friday, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson disclosed four redacted footnotes from the IG report.
	Oh, the IG report, sorry.
	Four of them, so there's a lot to get to.
	To you, which one was the most information, the quote-unquote bombshell of what they released on Friday?
	Well, I think their information was important because it demonstrated that there is now conclusive evidence, if anybody really needed it, that the FBI was engaged in not only Selling disinformation, but knowingly selling disinformation to the FISA courts.
	Those four footnotes are very important.
	And that's why they were kept classified.
	And the reason is they were classified because they implicate foreign governments, probably the United Kingdom more than anyone, and also very sensitive Russian intelligence sources that the CIA is aware of.
	But more important than the footnotes is...
	Excuse me for jumping ahead here, but the headline today is, Bill Barr announced that there are going to be indictments in this case.
	When he went on the Laura Ingraham show the other night and gave an amazing interview for an attorney general of the United States, he said, yeah, sure, John Durham could write a report, but that's not what he's doing.
	He's getting ready to bring indictments if he has the evidence, quote-unquote.
	But the if he has the evidence is like a passe footnote.
	What the Attorney General was saying after saying that Crossfire Hurricane was one of the greatest travesties in American history, and that he's deeply disturbed about the evidence that he has seen, I think it's pretty clear that John Brennan...
	If he doesn't have a lawyer now, then he better get one because the indictments are coming, as we have discussed on this program for a long time.
	Yes, Joe, and we've been waiting for quite a long time for your sealed indictments.
	Well, this time it's true.
	So?
	Yeah, Q says so.
	It's true.
	This time it's true.
	Well, I do think someone has to go to jail.
	I hope it's Comey.
	It's not going to be John Brennan.
	No, it should be Comey.
	Comey.
	Comey would be a good one.
	Comey would be a good one.
	Yeah, well, it's fun to listen to these guys, I have to say that.
	I'm going to show myself all by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	By the way, you know, just before I start naming names here, starting with Sir Chris Sundeberg in Mercer Island, Washington, $158.44, I do want to mention something, which is I've been writing Amy Goodman today, probably to an extreme, but I have to say, I don't know if you want to call her exploitive, but I do have to play this one little clip first to get in the right mood.
	Oh, sure.
	I don't know if you would say she's exploitative, but listen to the new...
	You know, you've heard this.
	Oh, the Lauren Peace Report, blah, blah, blah.
	Here, listen to the new Democracy Now!
	Opening logo.
	Welcome to Democracy Now!

	Where's his question?
	El Cid.
	Yeah, El Cid.
	He says, Adam, what happened to the round table's ass cream?
	Well, it's interesting you say that because I had just ordered some new ass cream and bear fillings, but I don't see them here.
	Oh.
	Hmm.
	Well, that's fascinating.

	Yeah, it makes zero sense.
	But okay.
	Six-month listener, first-time donation, requesting a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	I'd like my buddy Crider, and we should all have a buddy named Crider, for hitting me in the mouth while also needing to call him out for being a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	All right, man.
	Thank you very much, Steve from Dayton.

	We want to thank all these folks for being producers for the No Agenda Show 1235 and helping us continue our pursuit of the truth.
	The truth.
	Don't ever start the show like that.
	Promise me.
	People send me links all the time to YouTube stuff.
	And if it either starts with, hey guys, click, close window.
	Or if it starts with, bringing you the truth.
	Hey guys.
	Click, close.
	You started the last show with the hey guys joke.
	If it starts with, hey guys, I'm bringing you the truth.
	Click, close.
	Hey everybody.
	Hi everybody.
	It's too much.
	Just can't handle it.
	Thank you so much to our producers.
	Again, thanks to our executive and associate executive producers who we thanked in our first segment.
	Producers make it happen.
	What you're hearing on this show comes together beautifully.
	We play anywhere between 50 and 70 clips every single show.
	So we can completely deconstruct the media.
	We don't find them all ourselves.
	We don't do all the artwork ourselves.
	In fact, none of it.
	All of this stuff comes together, including the financing of the program, in our big-ass media tribe known as No Agenda Nation.
	And especially those who came in under $50 for reasons of anonymity.
	Or if you're on one of our programs, we really suggest you take a look at that.
	Thank you for your courage from everybody here at The Best Podcast in the Universe.
	Please support us for our next show on Thursday.
	For those who need it.
	What?
	What?
	Nothing.
	Oh.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Okay.
	You're doing a Fuji's thing again.
	Okay, I get it.
	That's fine.
	I got it.
	Just like a diamond and pearl.
	Here are the birthdays.
	Let's see.
	We got Kurt Cobol.
	Belated happy birthday to him.
	He celebrated on the 15th.
	Sir Andy of Terrigal Beach says happy birthday to his beautiful daughter, Lucilla, the mighty one.
	She turned 12 yesterday.
	David Nass says happy birthday to Julia Nass, 16 years old today.
	Stephanie Simon says happy birthday to her smoking hot boyfriend, Ewan.
	For Ewan, he will be celebrating tomorrow.
	And Steve from Columbus turns 60 next week.
	Happy birthday from everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	And we've got a couple title changes.
	Chris Sundberg, Knight of the Vortex Ring State, becomes a baronet today and henceforth receives the title, Baronet of the Vortex Ring State.
	Sir Big Papa Moose, Jonathan Ferris, becomes Baron Jonathan Ferris of Southwest Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle, thanks to your additional support of $1,000 to the best podcast in the universe.
	And then we do have a daming and...
	See, the anonymous...
	Do we have an anonymous dame today, was it not?
	From the San Francisco Peninsula?
	Or do we not know?
	Call this, no.
	Don't know, okay.
	I think people are just switching their donations around.
	I think it's for future daming.
	Oh, for future daming.
	Well, it doesn't matter because we've got three people on deck, so I need a...
	There you go.
	Very nice.
	Come on up, Anonymous.
	We were talking about you.
	Julian Nos and Trent Scoble.
	All of you are about to become a knight or dame of the Noah General Roundtable thanks to your support of the show.
	$1,000 or more.
	That gets you the covenant seat at the roundtable with the knights and the dames.
	And I'm very pleased and proud to pronounce the KB... We've also got Chai Tea and Apples with Peanut Butter, Sparkling Cider and Escorts, Bong Hits and Bourbon.
	But we all know it's really about the mutton and mead.
	That's why you're here.
	In fact, if you go to noagendanation.com slash rings, Eric the Shill will be more than happy to take your information and we'll get that out to you as soon as possible.
	The ring along with your sealing wax and the official certification.
	And thank you for your courage for supporting No Agenda.
	No Agenda Meetups!
	Well, the meetup schedule, of course, has been diminished thanks to Corona, the Coronavirus, but I do suggest you check NoAgendaMeetups.com since some meetups are still taking place, such as the Washington Antiviral Meetup.
	We heard a donation about it earlier.
	Here's the report.
	Alright, so Joe, on Friday, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson disclosed four redacted footnotes.
	What the hell is that?
	That's not a meet-up report.
	Oh, well that's crazy.
	I'm not sure what happened there, but I can fix it.
	Fix it in post.
	No, I'm going to fix it here live.
	We'll do it live!
	Hey, this is Farm Slave here out at Beachview Farm.
	We're hosting the Pacific Northwest antiviral party.
	All of us have come to a consensus that we need John and Adam, so we're hoping you don't find that exit strategy.
	I just wanted to remind everybody that we're all going to die and fear is freedom.
	This is Sir Crow, the Fiber Knight, checking in in the morning.
	It is Will, not a spook.
	This is Kim and Baby Dean, and our amygdalas are small.
	In the morning, Brian from Seattle.
	In the morning, B-Rad with my super hot wife coming here from the farm.
	We love it.
	Take care.
	In the morning, this is Alex, a.k.a.
	Hallie Berry.
	In the morning, this is Jared and his wife Stephanie and our four natural resources.
	And Two Speg Scott.
	Chinese Asshole!
	Wow.
	That's a good, I love that ending.
	Fantastic.
	So you see, it makes sense to check noagendameetups.com because you never know when you're going to have a cool shout out like that.
	And there's also jujitsu meetings and all kinds of virtual stuff going on.
	So please consider having a look at noagendameetups.com.
	It is still functional despite the COVID-19.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	Sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You wanna be where you want me, triggered or held the flame.
	You wanna be where everybody feels the same.
	We have a couple of notes we have to read there.
	Make goods.
	One is the missing $1,234.56 note, whatever.
	Oh, from the last show.
	Yes, we have a huge gap there.
	And then there's also one note, which I don't get why Eric didn't put the birthday in the list.
	But Julie can grand, make good.
	She wanted to wish a happy birthday to her husband's happy 40th birthday, which I think is on April 12th.
	And somehow she was missing from the announcement.
	She wanted to be in the last show, and there she is.
	But anyway, happy birthday to Juan, her husband.
	She's from Madrid.
	Well, let's read it properly.
	A very happy 40th birthday to Juan.
	I wish you're on the expressway to knighthood.
	Love you till eternity.
	Beezus, beezus, beezus from your smoky hot wife.
	I don't know about the smoky part.
	It says smoky.
	It says she's smoky.
	She's smoky.
	Who knows, man?
	We could go with smoky.
	Smoky hot.
	Now, the longer note, which is Trent's $1,200 note, we want to read that, and this is a, I don't know how it didn't get into the show, but it didn't, so here it is.
	Can you read that?
	Yes, from Trent S., from Trent S., In the morning, gentlemen, from Charlotte, where as of March 31st, Charlotte PD had received 300 calls from NARC citizens reporting supposed stay-at-home order violations.
	I've been a listener for a couple of years.
	This is my first donation.
	Could I please have a de-douching?
	You've been de-douched.
	I'd like to dedicate this donation to my dad, Phil.
	Kilo Oscar November X-Ray.
	So he's a silent key, who died last July of dementia.
	I discovered the show at a time when the disease caused him to lose interest in a lot of things, but I know that if he had heard the show absent the disease, he would have appreciated your views on globalism and the mainstream media.
	I'm fortunate to have employment, security, and reliable income right now, but may I please have jobs karma for the dames, knights, and listeners out there who need it.
	For my knighting, may I please be known as Sir Scovey, which we just did, of the Piedmont.
	Thank you for your level-headed perspective.
	It helps a lot when I speak with friends and family who only follow M5M. So yes, we'll do that for you, and thank you very much.
	And Silent Key Kilowaskar November X-Ray is in our thoughts.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Apparently, in Washington state, they have accumulated like 17,000, at least at the state level, of people turning in their neighbors for taking a step foot outside.
	And in Port Angeles, apparently, the police have stopped taking...
	911 calls from citizens who are complaining about their neighbor stepping foot outside.
	911!
	Can you imagine calling 911 because somebody went outside to grab the newspaper or their mail?
	This is not useful.
	No.
	It's bad.
	It could be part of a plan.
	Maybe it was all intended that way.
	Get us all jitty about each other.
	Who knows?
	I got a possible end-of-show ISO to test on you.
	Oh, yeah.
	Okay, I'm here.
	This is Governor Cuomo.
	Don't get cocky.
	Don't get arrogant.
	We're in control.
	Wow.
	That's a great ISO. You got anything to compete?
	No, I've got no ISOs whatsoever, actually.
	Oh, my.
	Oh, my.
	It went by default.
	If I were to backbeat mine anyway.
	I do have the LOCUS report.
	Oh, yes.
	Well, of course, we need to get back to normal life with the LOCUS report.
	Well, let's start with, I got two clips.
	These are both from Al Jazeera.
	The only people seem to be interested in reporting on this.
	And they're not even reporting on the main show.
	It's from a podcast.
	We had one swarm that was 60...
	Wait, do you need to set it up more?
	I'm sorry.
	No, no, this is the guy describing a swarm that's the size of Manhattan.
	We had one swarm that was 60 km by 40 km in Kenya.
	That's the size of a huge city.
	Imagine the city of New York that have the sky covered with desert locus.
	That's the size of clouds that we get.
	What the hell did that guy just say?
	So there's big clouds.
	Big clouds of locusts.
	Okay.
	Oh, I see.
	It's the big clouds.
	All right, I got you.
	Okay, let's go with locusts until we get a little more detail.
	What's proving to be the worst infestation in over half a century has threatened food supplies and farmland across Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Eritrea, and Yemen.
	And the swarms are still growing.
	And that means the UN is warning that millions of people could face what it calls severe acute food insecurity in the coming months.
	In a day, a desert locust can eat its weight in leafy greens.
	The bugs flock in the billions, devouring crops and grazing plots everywhere they go.
	Cyril is part of the effort to get the swarms under control.
	It's a huge task and it's time critical.
	If left uncontrolled, the swarms are predicted to grow 500 times more by June.
	He said even now, standing in one of these swarms is surreal.
	When they are not at the stage of flying, but when they are at the younger stage, at the stage of Hopper, Hopper Benz, then it looks like a moving carpet.
	You have this number of small locusts which are not yet flying, and they are really like a marching army with millions and millions of small locusts on the ground that are moving.
	It's quite impressive, I have to say.
	Do you think these things can live anywhere, can't they?
	Locusts, are they bulletproof?
	Can they live in Texas, as an example?
	Well, this specific one is the desert locusts, but there's different kinds of locusts, and there's cicadas which are similar.
	I want the cool kind that looks like a carpet.
	Well, that's when they're little, and they get the wings, and next thing you know, they look like a giant cloud.
	But it can grow out.
	At the point we are now in the locust phenomenon, it could get 500x worse.
	Well, that's going to be great because we can use that for protein when there's no more beef available.
	What else are we going to do?
	I don't know about these things.
	They were just...
	And it's not reported much because it's, I mean, it's very picturesque.
	You'd think you'd want to take some movies of these giant Manhattan-sized clouds of locusts, apparently blacking out the sun at different points.
	But, okay, now we got, is that, is Trump, anything to do with it?
	Does Trump, did he do the locust, the locust head?
	Anything, anything, wait, let's do a check.
	Anything with Trump?
	All right!
	No, he had nothing to do with it.
	Orange man bad.
	I'm glad you're staying on that story.
	It's funny because it's actually hard to stay on the story.
	I made me have to go to African sources because no one wants to report on it.
	You should just go to Africa.
	No, I'm not going to go there.
	What else we got?
	I'm done.
	I probably have one additional question.
	Another downer clip.
	We can do the eviction flaunted, a democracy now, you know, anti-capitalist story is good.
	Which one is this?
	Eviction flaunted.
	Oh, those horrible people.
	Is that the one you want to hear?
	Yeah, let's go with this.
	ProPublica reports landlords in Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas and Florida have flouted a ban on evictions passed by Congress last month as part of the coronavirus relief bill.
	Investigative reporters found scores of incidents where landlords removed tenants from federally backed rental units without consequence.
	ProPublica says the true number of evictions is likely far higher because there's no nationwide database of eviction filings.
	We need centralized government.
	I was reading, you know, we're still waiting for, hopefully, another $250 billion that can go into the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program.
	I have a clip.
	Oh, good, because I have a story about it.
	Well, that's not about the new money, but this is SBA. It's another downer, anti-capitalist clip.
	They are out of money.
	The Small Business Administration said Thursday it's exhausted a $349 billion emergency loan fund.
	The Paycheck Protection Program will no longer accept new applications unless Congress approves additional funding.
	Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin is seeking an additional $250 billion for the program.
	Democrats want to expand any new relief measure to include $100 billion for health care providers and $150 billion for state, local and tribal governments.
	Thank you.
	So this is...
	There's something weird going on here.
	Now, what the President and the Republicans are messaging is Democrats holding the money hostage.
	It's a successful program.
	We need to get the money out there.
	Bad Nancy Pelosi.
	Bad.
	And the Democrats are indeed holding it back, but why?
	What do they want in there?
	And Forbes reported on two separate proposals, which I don't think would be a part of the $250 billion for the Small Business Administration, but they're real proposals.
	And this would be...
	They have a name for this thing.
	The Emergency Money for People Act...
	Which has been proposed by two Democrats, Roe Kahana and Tim Ryan.
	Actually, they have two proposals.
	Proposal one, you're going to love this.
	$2,000 per month stimulus check for every qualifying American over the age of 16 for up to 12 months.
	Yeah, that's a bonanza.
	And they're addressing some things that I know personally have disadvantaged people.
	This would include individuals who were left out of the CARES Act, that's the $1,200 stimulus, such as some high school and college students and adults with disabilities who were ineligible to receive the stimulus check because they were claimed as a dependent on another tax return.
	So this is a universal basic income, and the proposal is $2,000 per monthly payment.
	Not everyone has a bank or home address.
	To address this, the Emergency Money for People's Act calls for individuals to get this money through direct deposit, check, prepaid debit card, or mobile money platforms such as Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal.
	The eligibility...
	Every American, 16 and older, making less than $130,000 will receive this check.
	Married couples earning less than $260,000 would receive at least $4,000 per month.
	Qualifying families with children will receive an additional $500 per child for up to three children, and that's per month.
	Per month!
	So that's proposal two.
	No, one.
	Proposal two.
	This is crazy.
	Cancel rent and mortgage payments through the coronavirus emergency.
	The bill would include full rent payment forgiveness for your primary residence or full mortgage payment forgiveness.
	No accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners.
	No negative impact on credit rating or rental history.
	A relief fund will be established for landlords and mortgage holders to cover losses, which would not be small.
	No, that'd be horrible.
	It would create, I think the two grand a month is a better deal.
	It would create an optional fund to finance the purchase of private rental properties to increase the availability of affordable housing.
	Interesting concept.
	Yeah, they're not going anywhere with either one of those, let's face it.
	It's not going to happen.
	It's too much of a drain.
	It's already bad enough.
	You kill the economy and then you start taking money where there's none that exists.
	It's crazy.
	We have all this magic money, John.
	The immunized money.
	Yeah, well, the immunized money.
	Where's the SBA loans?
	Well, it's there.
	It has to be approved.
	It just has to be approved.
	Well, we'll see.
	Hold on.
	I know companies who did get an SBA loan.
	I know companies who put in for one and didn't get one.
	It is real.
	Yeah, I know, but it's sketchy.
	It's spotty.
	It's not consistent.
	It's nothing that people can, you know, it's even the $1,200 that people are supposed to be getting is like, you know, Jay got it, but Nick didn't get it, and then other people got it, and other people didn't get it.
	What's the hang-up there?
	Maybe they'll get it eventually, maybe they won't.
	I don't know.
	And then you have the bank stealing certain money from certain people.
	The whole thing is, it's just not organized well.
	It's fine.
	I mean, they've got to do something because they've basically killed the country here.
	Well, it's better than other countries.
	Well, they're in Nigeria where they shoot you six feet apart.
	All right.
	With that, on that super happy note.
	Yay!
	End of show mixes.
	As I said, I'm going to throw in a little extra ditty there from Rolando Gonzalez.
	And before that, you'll get COVID-19 from Menno Demento.
	Does he have it?
	Does he have COVID-19?
	It's just a joke.
	It's a joke.
	I gotcha.
	After this program on NoAgendaStream.com, episode 58 of Grumpy Old Ben's...
	And I look forward to seeing everybody on Thursday when we'll probably have some changes to report on here in Austin, Texas.
	Yeah, I think we'll have some changes.
	Hopefully some changes in the Euroland zone.
	I'm keeping tabs on that as well.
	And currently I am in Opportunity Zone 33.
	It's part of the...
	Drone Star State, the capital, Austin, Texas, FEMA Region No.
	6, if you're looking me up on a governmental map.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA until Thursday.
	In the morning, everybody, I am Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're in lockdown and we're loving it, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios mohos!
	And such...
	Stick it in.
	Bill Gates talked about meeting Donald Trump.
	I never met Donald Trump before he was elected.
	Yesterday, Robert F. Kennedy, the nephew of former President Kennedy, wrote a blistering article blasting Bill Gates.
	Trump said.
	This is philanthropist, Dr.
	Bill.
	Yes, he is.
	20-time return on the unprofitable vaccine business.
	Uh-huh.
	And somebody, and somebody, Robert Kennedy Jr.
	Stick it in.
	Do it for your pop pop.
	We need you to step up.
	Baby, wash your hands as the market slides down.
	He's never that great.
	I'm sure the joke has been made, but is that the same guy we want in charge of our vaccines?
	Billy 7, ground zero.
	What if we get Vista vaccine?
	Hard times we've fallen, trial survivor.
	You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
	She thinks I'm a killer, but I'm just growing old.
	Stick it in.
	Do it for your big mama, and do it for your pop mama.
	Do it for your pop pop.
	If she's a man and vomit, no, we can't kiss at all.
	Please take this needle as the market slides down.
	He was considering a commission to look into the ill effects of vaccines.
	Let's make a COVID baby, baby.
	Do it for your granddaddy.
	Chinese originated viral.
	Stick it in, such as disease.
	Do it for your pop pop.
	Don't you mean certificate of vaccination?
	I'll be baby.
	Do it for your big mama.
	Do it for your papa.
	Do it for your papa.
	Especially in communities of color.
	Stop the spread.
	In 2017, the Indian government dialed back Gates' vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAD. Hydroxychloroquine.
	Hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine.
	We'll be right back.
	A gift from God.
	Total game changer, John.
	It'll be a gift from him.
	She went for your granddad.
	Do it for your pop pop.
	Thank you, Mr.
	President.
	Had you not involved with the HQ of being able to put this out here, I wouldn't be here today to even have this conversation with you.
	W-H-L, as we've been...
	We're paying them from $300 to $500 and even more.
	A million dollars a year.
	China's been paying them less than $30.
	And they are very, very China-centric.
	China-centric.
	To get the better of the argument.
	And...
	I don't like that.
	I really don't like that.
	I don't think that's appropriate.
	I don't think it's fair.
	I tell that to President Xi.
	I tell that to Dr.
	Tedros.
	I spoke to him one time.
	I think he's a very nice man.
	I like him.
	But we're going to be talking about that.
	He's already done that if you read the candidates.
	He's right.
	And he's hurt people all over the world with his vaccines.
	Well, stick it in.
	Because Tuesday night we'll upgrade it.
	We'll fix you.
	We'll fix your vaccines.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. Don't get cocky.
	Don't get arrogant.
