Time Text
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
And Sunday, May 10th, 2020, this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1241.
This is No Agenda.
Unmuzzled and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's wearing masks and you know there's a smile under that mask, I'm John C. Devorak.
23.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill!
In the morning!
Yes, the right topic off the bat.
I am unmuzzled.
I will not be muzzled.
And you don't have to be muzzled.
The official word is in.
Wearing a mask in public is not desired.
This is Dr.
Anthony Fauci on 60 Minutes.
Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
You're sure of it?
Because people are listening really closely to this.
Right now, people should not be walking.
There's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet.
But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
There are unintended consequences.
People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?
Of course, of course.
But when you think masks, you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill.
There can be no question.
No mask.
And as a handy resource, I have made nomasks.org.
And if you go there, I shall do it myself, nomasks.org, you will see a copy of that video, you will have an audio there, and you can bookmark that as a handy little resource when someone gives you crap.
And you say, oh yeah, look at Tony Fauci, bitch!
I like the way you put a byline on it.
Hey!
That's actually...
It's not really by design.
Otherwise, you can't have a title without the byline.
That's just the way the system works.
Oh, you're using some cheap generator?
No, excuse me.
This is the Freedom Controller, not some cheap generator.
Thank you very much.
Well, then if it's your controller, you should be able to have it so you don't need a byline.
I should be able to control it.
Yes, I know.
I know.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
Anyway, so there it is.
That is the definitive answer.
It is from May 6th.
Nothing has changed since then.
Fauci, in fact, is not even on the scene.
He is in quarantine.
How handy is that?
Just when everybody wants him to testify, all of a sudden, yeah, no, someone was exposed, so I have to self-quarantine.
It's just one of those coincidental little things.
It's kind of fun.
Yeah, timing.
So, everyone is not walking around here in a mask.
I would say about 50% of the people.
Yeah, well, you have...
You should have private...
Well, maybe it could be right.
I mean, here it's 100%.
Yeah.
Except some of the homeless and...
They're not walking around in masks.
They're just yelling at people and shaking their fist.
Everyone else is wearing a mask happily.
They're all happily wearing masks.
This is so not a good idea, the more I think about it, now that we have the official medical advice.
I mean, you agree with me, right?
That is the guy who makes the call, correct?
He is the referee.
Oh, okay.
Yes.
He's the referee.
He's the guy that makes the call.
He said, no mask.
It was very clear.
We have a mask ordinance in Austin, which is illegal because the state overruled it.
But still, they're going to try and shame you and do all kinds of crazy stuff.
That's because you're Democrats.
I don't know if it's just because they're Democrats.
That's what is the reason around here.
It's something in the water in Austin.
Democrats wear masks and Republicans try not to.
You think that's the delineation?
It's not just people who won't be muzzled?
Everything is politicized, yep.
Sadly, you're probably somewhat right.
But the protest is everywhere.
People want out.
They're done.
They don't want to hear it anymore.
They want to get back to work.
They want to get back to life.
They're just not taking it anymore.
Boots on the ground Pennsylvania from one of our producers.
You're going to kill people.
People have had enough.
The overwhelming majority of deaths in Pennsylvania have been in nursing homes.
The hospitals were never overrun.
In fact, they are furloughing people and hospitals are losing money by the billions due to canceled elective surgeries.
Not unique to Pennsylvania.
We were told that even with social distancing, there was a huge chance we would overload the system, and it simply didn't happen.
And yet, the governor just extended the stay-at-home order until June 4th without any data to back it up.
Three, four, five, six, seven cars.
Damn.
Man, the day that eight comes, I'll be hooting and hollering.
Seven cars.
Seven car economy on the Zepra.
We have a friend that works for NHS. Mm-hmm.
And she says that it's the same thing.
Hospitals are empty.
I suppose there must be a pocket someplace where there's a hospital full.
And she says what's pathetic is that people, like, there's one example recently.
There's this big empty hospital.
The place is big.
It's empty.
And some guy had a stroke, so they brought him in.
But because of all the rules, his wife or her, nobody can see him, so he's stuck in there by himself.
And he's half out of it.
And he's wondering where everybody is.
He's wondering if he's dead.
Am I dead?
Where's my wife?
Am I dead?
And he's just pathetic, she says.
This is so sad.
And this is going on all over Great Britain with these people.
Because you can't just quarantine.
I know.
I know.
You can't see them.
So, if your assertion is correct, and I'm going to say in California, I bet it is, that it's political.
The mask is a political thing.
So, political groups are...
Yeah, that's because the people who wear the masks are responsible, and the people who don't wear the masks want to kill everybody.
They're horrible Republicans.
Okay, so you could say that both of these groups are acting rather cultish, right?
One says, we're the smart cult, and you've got to wear the mask, and the other says, we're not a part of the cult, and they have their own cult, I guess.
No, I don't think the non-mask wearers are not part of a cult.
Okay, well, that even strengthens this argument.
Truthstream Media put together a cool little video.
It's in the show notes, nashownotes.com.
Is this the talking cat?
No, it's not the talking cat.
It's as good, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, do not despair.
No Agenda Show has the talking cat coming up in just a moment.
Stand by.
They did a bit on cults and how people are initiated.
So initiation rituals into cults.
So they kind of mashed up the idea of what's going on now with the video while reading a very traditional piece of work about initiation rituals into cults.
And I just picked up this one-minute clip from it.
Necessary for new members to function properly in the society they are being inducted into are all imbued at this time.
Repetition is typical, as its use helps hammer the spell home.
The wearing of masks may be required.
Masking has traditionally played an important role in rituals of this kind.
Today there was a mandate that went into effect.
Enabling and hastening the suppression of ego to help facilitate a death of the old identity before the identification with and manifestation of a new one.
Disguised under a mask and hidden away, the initiate is more easily able to transcend the self.
Pushed further toward that invisible line between the physical and spiritual realms.
I'm all in on this now.
I'm so in on this.
This mask thing.
No, no.
This mask thing is a very bad idea.
It's a very bad idea.
People have to wake up to what's going on here.
We're so preconditioned.
Forget just the...
Here's how bad I think it is, especially around here.
I don't know if you see it there, but I'm sure you do.
You have these morons, and I'll use the term Driving in their cars by themselves with a mask on.
Yes, John, we have that here.
And the windows are up.
Yes, we have.
Well, you don't want the rona to fly in and hit you in the face, do you?
And also the air is off.
No, no.
You can't have any air on.
It's just you're hot boxing down the road with your mask on.
I've seen it.
Yes, I've seen it.
So we make kind of a sport of it now to see, okay, did you go in without a mask?
Yeah, hell yeah, I did.
People aren't yelling yet.
They're not yelling yet.
But anyway, the preconditioning.
Producer Justin, who's obviously a gamer, or he was a gamer around 2000, said there's so much stuff that has been in the psyche for so long.
This is the game Doze X. I guess some kind of combat game, whatever.
And here's a little clip.
Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week.
week.
I've already discussed the matter with the senator.
I take it he was agreeable?
He didn't really have a choice.
Has he been infected?
Oh, yes.
Most certainly.
When I mentioned that we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
This play, the rioting, is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.
Why contain it?
Let it spill over into the schools and churches.
Let the bodies pile up in the streets.
In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
That's...
That's been going on for a while.
Deus Ex, actually.
I mispronounced it.
Oh, yes.
Yes, Deus Ex.
But how different does it sound from New York City?
This is producer Nick who caught the giant voice recording going off as people were starting to kind of congregate, getting too close to each other, you know, wanting to say something to their government.
This is the New York City Police Department.
Non-essential gatherings of any kind have been prohibited by the governor and the mayor.
This gathering is unlawful and you are ordered to disperse.
If you fail to disperse immediately, you are subject to arrest.
Yeah, this is reminding me, I guess we've gotten used to this over the years from the, you will be ticketed and towed.
Yeah, the red zone is for parking.
And ticketed and towed.
Exactly.
And you hear what kills me about that announcement at the airports, they play it inside the airport.
Only at JFK, though.
I don't think anywhere else.
They do at Oakland.
So you've even got...
Yeah, but Oakland is very small.
So...
You're calling us a bunch of hicks?
Oh, golly, Marlene, I forgot to bring the car around.
It's still outside parked.
So even some of the doctors are fed up with it and are doing the typical kind of stand-up presser in front, you know, in the scrubs, in front of the hospital doors, up on the steps.
Presser and scrubs.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Short title.
There you go.
Exactly.
It's presser and scrubs.
Presser and scrubs.
Damn it.
I'm on a roll.
Presser and scrubs.
This is Dr.
Barky.
What if the experts are wrong?
Yeah!
What if quarantining the healthy doesn't actually save lives?
What if wearing a mask in public is not effective?
My name is Dr.
Jeff Barkey and I'm here representing thousands of physicians across the country whose voices are being silenced because we don't agree with the mainstream media and the experts who are telling us what to do.
Never in the history of this great republic Have we quarantined the healthy?
Never in the history of this great republic have we told churchgoers that it's illegal for you to exercise your First Amendment right of freedom of religion.
Yet at the same time, it's essential to keep pot dispensaries open.
Never in the history of this country have we been told that you can't go to church because it's not essential, but you can go get an abortion because that's essential.
Never before in our country have we let criminals out of jail, but we've told you you can't exercise your Second Amendment right and protect yourself by purchasing a firearm.
When liquor stores are deemed essential, but your businesses are deemed not essential, there's something wrong going on.
This booklet, The Declaration of Independence in our U.S. Constitution...
It was never designed to restrain the people.
It was designed to restrain the government.
I can inform you the doctor has been demonetized.
I think that doctor is a Republican.
Well, there's that.
But he has some very valid points, and he's making his points heard.
Well, somebody's got to do it.
But there's a lot of crazy stuff going on.
Even at a local level, or at a state level, like in Austin, a mayoral level, they just don't want us to get out.
They just want to come up with reasons to keep us in.
And now we have the Trace Act on the way.
House resolution.
And of course, you can't make it up.
It's house resolution 6666.
One six too many.
And here's the problem a lot of people have with it.
It will authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services toward grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19 and related activities such as contact tracing through mobile health units and, and here it comes, as necessary at individuals' residences and for other purposes.
So they're putting together a tracing squad.
$100 billion is the proposal for this, and it will be, yeah, exactly what it sounds like, a form of a...
It's like the EU's regulations.
Like an army, and so if you've been identified as someone who may have been in contact, then they come to your house and test you and take measures.
So what could these measures be?
To take you out of the house and lock you up.
That's correct.
And this is Dr.
Robert Levin.
He is the health secretary of...
What's his name here?
Health director of Ventura County, California.
And here he is talking.
And when you listen to him speak, and I left a little more in this than I would have at the beginning, certainly...
He's like Mr.
Rogers, and I'll even have to interrupt him.
He's so sickly at telling you what's going to happen.
I mean, it's a real doctor, and you just listen to this guy, and what he's talking about is quite concerning.
We are beginning a program today, and it's a pilot program, which will certainly grow into something larger and larger, and that is a community contact tracing program.
We've done contact tracing all along.
A contact is a person who's been exposed to someone that we document to have the COVID infection.
When we find someone who has a COVID infection, those people are immediately isolated.
But we also work with them to figure out who their contacts were.
Just the way he says that, if you have the virus...
Okay, you can be asymptomatic, maybe you get tested, but the way he makes it sound is like...
Isolatum!
Isolatum!
Get to insert the cards in here!
Isolatum!
Immediately isolated.
Luckily, because you have been doing such a great job of cooperating and staying indoors, staying isolated...
You've been such good little obedient servants and slaves!
It used to be there were ten contacts, at least, for every patient that we would find.
Now, it looks like there are probably only two or three or four contacts, not surprisingly.
So good of you, very good human resources.
By the way, the guy is not doing an interview.
He's speaking on stage.
This is how he speaks to his county, his subjects.
Because most people have been staying away from others.
And that's good news.
But the purpose of this program is to bring on people.
We're going to start with 10 people.
We may bring on up to 50 or even more.
Just a pilot project, after all.
As the program grows and as we see the needs for it, as we do more testing, we will find more and more people who have COVID-19.
And again, we'll isolate every one of them and we will find every one of their contacts.
We also realize that as we find more contacts, some of the people we find are going to have trouble being isolated.
For instance, if they live in a home where there's only one bathroom, And there are three or four other people living there, and those people don't have COVID infection.
We're not going to be able to keep the person in that home.
Every person who we're isolating, for instance, needs to have their own bathroom.
And so we'll be moving people like this into other kinds of housing that we have available.
Oh, why don't you just put them in those empty prison cells?
No, no.
No, no.
No, listen.
You don't call it a prison cell anymore.
They'll also have other needs, perhaps.
Food, whatever it's going to be.
The county will be there to back them up and to support them.
Yeah, I think you're right.
It's a prison cell.
I think that's exactly where you're going.
And so, you know, when you hear this and you see this bill that is coming our way, you've got to think the guy's pretty happy about it.
It's like, yeah, this is going to get funded.
It's perfect.
Reminds me of this a little bit, if you think about it.
Intelligence work takes place within a strong legal framework.
We operate under the rule of law and are accountable for it.
In some countries, secret intelligence is used to control their people.
In ours, it only exists to protect their freedoms.
Protect their freedoms.
And that's why we're doing it, Citizen, is to protect your freedoms.
Have no fear.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's gross.
Okay.
But that, unfortunately, seems to be where we're headed.
Now, we were looking for some names.
For some reason, that really hit a mark.
And let me see where I have this.
People started coming up with all kinds of cooler names for tracking so that we could kind of sell it a bit better.
So we have Social Interactive Safety...
Social proximity awareness.
We need something for these troops.
We need a name for them, too.
Social density squad.
I had one.
I forgot to write it down because somebody wrote one and I thought it was quite good.
There's a bunch of them.
Yeah, we should put a webpage together and you can put by Adam Curry on it.
Screw you, Dwarak.
We'll just have it done.
People can go to it.
Anyway, I had a very infected eye.
Oh, yes.
You had a big eyeball, was swollen up, and you couldn't even barely see through it, and it was causing problems with the show.
The show actually suffered, yes.
There were certain buttons I could not hit with accuracy.
My eye-hand coordination had gotten thrown totally out of whack.
So after three days of, you know, as the eyelid was all swollen, then the socket was swollen.
Yeah, it looked like you were in a big boxing match.
Yes, on the losing end of the match.
And so now my whole face is kind of swelling up.
I'm like, all right, now we got this...
You already have a big head.
Oh, no, I don't.
It's the hair.
That was my secret.
And by the way, Little Richard died.
And talking about a guy with a big head.
Yeah.
Little Richard, man, he did a lot.
He did a lot for America.
He really did.
Yeah, he did a lot.
Anyway, so being a podcaster, the insurance scene is not all that easy.
And a while back, the keeper and I found this new outfit.
It's actually a couple of Silicon Valley guys, and it's called Decent.
We may have talked about it on the show.
Well, they basically give you $500 a month per person, disaster insurance.
But, you know, they do chip in for some medication and stuff and whatever.
If something bad happens, you know, I'll have to figure out the $8,000 deductible.
And from there, the insurance kicks in.
And besides, I typically go to Dr.
Ron, the voodoo doctor anyway.
It's not covered.
But one of their selling points is unlimited telemedicine appointments!
So I think, well, here's my chance.
I'm going to have to do this.
Which, of course, involved downloading the app.
Which I have a special phone for, which goes off after the usage.
Downloaded the app, and I have to tell you...
Wait, hold on a second.
You can't do this on your regular computer or desktop?
Yes, you can.
You can.
There's a link and everything.
I wanted to have the full experience so I could report on it on the show.
This is the new hot thing, telemedicine.
And up on the screen pops Dr.
Sam.
Is he a robot doc?
No, no.
I think he may have been...
He's maybe a Turkish descent, but he's in Vegas.
And he owns the telemedicine company.
He's also the CEO. And he had a bow tie, which tells you he's an inventor.
And that was fun.
He's invented a device that you connect to your phone and then he can listen to your heartbeat and take your temperature and God knows what else, maybe stimulate you.
But I have to say, I had a really good experience with this.
And he says, you know, the thing is we can talk as long as you want.
There's no limit.
And he told me, well, I didn't say confidentially, but anyway, he said that he only charges $10 per telemedicine visit to the insurers.
He says, you have no idea how we make it up on volume.
So we've got tens of thousands of customers.
And they're calling with simple things.
And for me, it was like, okay, I see why you're calling.
You see the problem, you know, three questions, and then, bop, get the drops, and by the end of the afternoon, it was already starting to clear up.
I was impressed.
I'm not a guy who likes to go to the doctor for anything.
Yeah, well, it's a dangerous place.
It's a very dangerous place.
It was quite, yeah, there's something to it.
And these guys are trying to figure out a different business model by making it more affordable.
I don't know if they're actually making money, but it certainly is a hell of a lot cheaper than lots of other routes I've seen.
And your eyeball's okay.
And my eyeball is doing quite well, thank you.
Got some antibiotics, and I'm rocking and rolling.
And did he tell you what this problem was?
My problem?
Yeah, what was wrong with the eyeball?
Yes, he had a name for it, which I promptly forgot, but it is essentially inflammation of the eyelid from allergies, histamine.
Oh, yeah.
And then you rub it, and then if you rub it, then you get screwed up.
Then you're screwed.
Yeah, yeah.
Texas syndrome.
Yes.
It's indeed Texas syndrome.
Huh.
Okay.
I feel good.
I'm glad you're better.
Yeah, I feel good.
I feel good.
I have a phrase that I think we will be hearing.
A phrase from the Shays?
No, I think, well, no, it's going to be a phrase from the future.
And I've read it a couple times, and I'm like, wow, are they really pushing this?
And maybe I'm wrong, but the recovery through prevention, which is just the most new speak I've ever heard.
Recovery through prevention, which of course you know what that leads to.
Yeah, locking you in jail when they let the prisoners out.
No, the vaccine, of course.
It leads you straight to vaccines, yes.
Exactly.
I was going to play that earlier clip.
Well, I'm going to play this one for you.
And this will kind of finalize the getting back to work part, even though everywhere, everywhere in the world, people are just giving up.
They're walking out of their homes.
They've had it.
I mean, they are.
They took them this long?
It's Amsterdam.
It's Rotterdam.
The UK is different.
The UK, I think they shoot you on the spot.
They're really locked down over there.
Hey, I have a couple of UK reports.
Okay, we'll get to it after we listen to the only way we can get back.
The only way the world will get back to normal, ladies and gentlemen.
We have to listen to the guru.
William Gates.
In my lifetime, this will be the greatest economic hit.
But you don't have a choice.
People act like you have a choice.
People don't feel like going to the stadium when they might get infected.
You know, it's not the government who...
Speak for yourself, pansy boy.
...saying, okay, just ignore this disease.
And, you know, people are deeply affected by...
By seeing these deaths, by knowing they could be part of the transmission chain and old people, their parents, their grandparents could be affected by this.
What's he laughing about?
Well, see, I think that he's actually laughing because it's a tell.
Some people have brought the hammer down on me and say, no, it's because of his Parkinson's.
I'm like, well, that may be...
No.
Okay.
His Parkinson's began about a decade ago.
Yeah.
And they're gone as far as I can see.
I've known Bill before when he was still giving speeches about how we make money by selling code.
And I've seen him do that laugh when he was very young.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
That laugh has always been there?
And when would he do the laugh?
And the inappropriate smile right in the middle of a sentence.
What the?
Right.
So what is that, then, if you've been around it?
Well, I think that the idea that it's a tell is probably the closest it gets.
I mean, you could say, well, it's just a nervous laugh, but why does it show up when it shows up?
It always shows up at a tell moment.
I think he's giddy about the whole idea.
He's giddy about people being afraid.
He's giddy about the only solution being his giddy-ass vacinations.
Well, I think that's a valid interpretation.
It could be.
By knowing they could be part of the transmission chain and old people, their parents, their grandparents could be affected by this.
And so you don't...
You know, you don't get to say, ignore what's going on here.
There will be the ability, particularly in rich countries, to open up if things are done well over the next few months.
But, for the world at large, normalcy only returns when we've largely vaccinated the entire global population.
And so...
Although there's a lot of work on testing, a lot of work on drugs that we're involved with, trying to achieve that ambitious goal, which has never been done, for the vaccine, that rises to the top of the list.
This indoctrination from Dr.
Bill is so deep that people are buying into it.
I think part of this is the reason why even when...
Because Fauci, he's compromised.
He's a Trump guy.
He's got Trump goo on him.
No, no, Fauci's not a Trump guy.
No, no, no.
I think Fauci is now being pushed away, and he's being seen as a turncoat, just like Burke's.
I'm telling you, you should know out there.
Fauci is really, there's questions about him.
He won't go to the house for his testimony.
Now he's at home.
No, no, no.
Bill Gates is still the ultimate guy.
Dr.
Bill, he knows everything.
People are getting sick of Bill.
And you only have to ask someone like Sean Penn, who appeared on The View.
Oh, please.
Who appeared on The View.
Go to an outlier and using that as your example?
It's still Hollywood.
It's Hollywood.
I just want you to hear the programming.
Sean Penn.
I know Sean Penn.
I got...
Remind me one of these days to tell my Sean Penn story on the MGM Grand Air.
But for now, here he is on The View.
As somebody who has seen government response to crises firsthand, how do you think this administration, Sean, has been helping and handling COVID? And what worries you the most?
Well, on a federal level, I think that one thing that certainly should be much more robust is in the Defense Production Act manufacturing...
Now, just listen to it.
...and kits.
I believe that if we had that on the kind of level with which that act was used in the past...
For war efforts, there'd be no question that we could test, in fact, give multiple tests over a series of weeks to every American.
There's no question.
We have a model that we've been able to push out, and with that, we're using a combination of local governance and community organizations, or NGOs, It would work on a small municipality level as it would in a big city or in rural areas.
Yeah, no, Sean.
There's no way we're going to get multiple tests for every man, woman, and child in the United States.
And I've got to appreciate the guy has local teams, he has this core, I think his name was, group, and they do a lot of good things, but no!
You're drinking the Kool-Aid, man.
It's not feasible.
But then again, this universal vaccine, the whole world's going to be vaccinated.
The whole world's never been vaccinated for anything.
How is this going to work?
Especially when nobody in Africa even trusts Bill Gates.
He's talking about testing now, not vaccination.
No, no, I'm talking about backing up because you didn't let me get that little jab in there while Bill was still talking.
Go ahead, you jab all you want at Dr.
Bill.
It's bullcrap.
There's going to be more people marching in the streets against any universal vaccine.
I totally subscribe to the Trump thesis, which I kind of think where I may know where it comes from, but it's been observed before.
This thing is just going to go away.
It's not going to be here next year.
Canada is already talking about making the vaccine mandatory for all citizens.
Well, Canada, these guys will probably bend over and...
Hey, hey, hey!
Not all Scandinavians.
Not all of them.
They know who they are.
I have a second part of this if you just want to laugh a little more.
It's not all we do.
Mock Bill Gates.
Yeah, that is kind of what we do.
This shows you what the programming does.
Listen, he's appearing on The View.
You have to think he's probably getting his input from one-sided sources at this point.
You're talking about Sean?
Yes.
Yes.
So, you know, his fear level is also at a point that is just off the scale and unwarranted.
Well, I don't think...
You saw this?
He looks nervous and scared?
Not at all!
Well, I don't think we need to attach a face, a personality, or what somebody was sending on their social media to be able to identify an active shooter.
An active shooter is anything...
That is continuing to kill people and our brothers and sisters and fathers and daughters and sons.
This virus is the active shooter.
I think that if we could wrap our head around it in that way and understand that it's principally putting in the radical people of color, elderly people, indigenous people...
It's racist.
But do you see what he's doing there?
The way I hear it, and I think I'm hearing what he's thinking, is this is active shooter, and look, it would have been better if he said, and active shooters also target black people.
That's almost what he's saying.
The programming is so deep on that man.
Anyway, with or without the vaccine, it's all going to be okay, especially in New York.
We're going to get back, we're going to bring our city back, and we're going to bring in the best people to help our children.
When we are reopening schools, let's open a better school, and let's open a smarter education system.
And I want to thank the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
We'll be working with them on this project.
Bill Gates is a visionary.
That mofo is in everywhere.
He's like, hey, we got to sit down, sit down, bring in the scholastic services.
Common Core.
He's behind Common Core.
Of course he was Common Core.
Yeah, he can repurpose Common Core.
But listen, he's a genius.
Cuomo is jizzing on him.
Bill Gates is a visionary in many ways, and his ideas and thoughts on technology and education he's spoken about for years.
But I think we now have a moment in history where we can actually incorporate and advance those ideas.
Yes.
So the next time Windows acts like a bitch, just think Bill Gates.
And then you'll know.
That's why we worship him.
That's why.
You can't make it up.
You cannot make it up.
You can't.
Now, I'll take you into your UK clips.
Ready?
It's out of control.
Ready?
I'm going to take you into your UK clips.
Here's what we're going to do.
I've got a clip from the UK. But first, some feedback on the stochastic model and the assessment thereof of the Neil Ferguson Imperial College model.
You mean Neil Ferguson, the guy who was shacked up with his mistress when he was supposed to be sheltered in place?
Yes, that's the one.
That's the one.
The guy who was overestimated quite a lot of numbers throughout history.
Oh, yeah.
There would be 2 million deaths in the United States.
We haven't even got 2 million deaths.
500,000 in the United Kingdom alone.
Yes, that guy.
That guy.
And you recall that he built these models not on rock and roll, but on 13-year-old undocumented code.
And we had the lockdownskeptics.org, and they reviewed the code.
And they had some interaction as well with the college.
They had some questions back and forth.
And one of the things that came up was the stochastic part was...
And I really didn't have the capability to analyze it properly.
But what you and I thought was, wait a minute.
If this thing is returning random results, then something's wrong with it.
And we were partially right, and I just want to read this one paragraph from Producer Richard, who analyzed what's going on.
He says, the model, and this is what the article says under the paragraph, the model and elsewhere, it's a simulation, and of course with the simulation you do want some random factors being thrown in.
But he says this certainly looks like a poorly written one in that, in addition to the intentional pseudo-randomness underlying factors.
The simulation, there are additional hardware and configuration dependencies that cause the results to differ.
I would not call these latter random or stochastic in the statistical sense, because despite its flaws, if the code were run multiple times on the same hardware in the same configuration with fixed random number seeds, the results would be identical, at least in single-thread mode.
This is how stupid this is.
Ferguson's attitude about it is very poor, and he says, admittedly, we're...
Partially right about the model, about the pseudo-randomness of it.
So, bottom line, this model is shaky at best.
You know, this is the whole thing, and I don't want to, again, I'm sounding like an ideologue, but this is the same kind of thing you see with global warming.
These mediocre models, and they go on and on with these models, and then they make decisions based on their lousy output.
And that's what we have right now with this stupid thing and this model and Imperial College, whatever that is.
It's not Oxford.
It's not Manchester.
I mean, what is this place?
It's very influential.
Apparently, yeah, because the whole world's been shut down because of their bad models.
And this is what's going on with global warming, too, which people will never listen to.
These people have never had a science.
They've never taken a course in science, but they're all the big experts.
And so all the media people, none of them have ever, they can barely get through a sociology class, but here they are talking about these computer models and how the globe is going to, it's melting, the world's melting.
It's not just the models, it's the actual data itself.
We are hearing numbers of dead people We're good to go.
And at the time, there were headlines trumpeting everywhere that obesity was soon to overtake smoking as the number one cause of preventable death in this country.
The head of the CDC, Julie Gerberding, went before Congress and issued big warnings.
And there was a big uproar over the number of deaths that were to occur.
Basically, what they did was divide their survey samples between people who are obese and people who are not obese.
And then basically looked at rates of death.
Now, if you were obese and you died from a snake bite, they would say that it was your obesity that was causing your death, not the snake bite.
Sound familiar?
This was part of a little statistical hanky-panky on their part.
In other news today, the Centers for Disease Control said it made a mistake about the scope of the obesity epidemic.
Roughly a year later, another set of researchers from the CDC offered a much, much lower set of estimates.
According to their estimates, it was roughly 25,000 people a year who were dying from weighing too much.
Researchers say that mathematical errors exaggerated the death toll.
Why did the CDC inflate the numbers of deaths attributable to obesity?
Follow the money.
I think it's all about funding and bureaucratic mission.
When I talk to a few CDC officials, they're constantly preoccupied about how much money the government or Congress is going to allot for them for the next year.
They're constantly worried about getting their funding cut.
Follow the money.
All of this might have gone unnoticed except for the anti-tobacco people who see this as a zero-sum game.
So they see that if obesity becomes a big public health issue, it's going to crowd out funding to tackle smoking as a public health issue.
So they were among the first people to point out a lot of the methodological problems in the estimates relating obesity to public health outcomes.
So they're just a bunch of lying, corrupt douchebags.
And they do it all for the money, for their own projects, for their own grants.
There's so much money in health and human services.
I mean, Fauci's little teeny, eeny, weeny division is $11 billion.
And we heard from one of our producers, John, you were on the email, who knows people in the business.
And they hate what they call the flu people.
The flu people, they get all the money.
It's always the flu people within eight inches.
We also point out in that note that the flu numbers are probably exaggerated because we're always talking about, oh, 60,000 dead from the flu.
The seasonal flu is killing 30,000 to 60,000 people.
And that number may be exaggerated by a lot.
It appears that, well, RFK Jr.
is all over this.
He says maybe 1,000 people a year die from the flu.
He says it's a lie.
It's just a lie, he says.
But it's a big moneymaker for the...
That, by the way, was the first question.
Adam, tell me about yourself.
You're 55.
Okay.
When's the last time you had your flu shot?
First question out of the gate.
And I say, never.
Never.
And he went, okay, next question.
Actually, that's funny, because I've had a question asked me, and as soon as you say, am I going to get one, they don't even lecture you about it.
I mean, so it's as though they ask this question gratuitously.
Oh, no.
Because if they were serious about it, wouldn't they say, well, you should get one?
No, no, no.
All they have to do is put the black checkmark in the database.
Well, that's what I mean by gratuitous.
They're just doing it for someone, in this case, a black checkmark, so they've done their job.
Yes, and the follow-up.
It's the exact same, by the way, no offense to the doctors out there, but how is that any different than would you like fries with that?
The way they ask it, yeah.
What size?
Because it's not as though the French fry guy at McDonald's or wherever it is pushes it.
They don't say, would you like fries?
They say, no.
They say, oh, you should.
They're great.
No, it's not entirely true because then it would be McDonald's saying, excuse me, sir, when's the last time you had fries?
Isn't it time for a tasty fry?
Aren't you hungry?
All right.
So, clearly the CDC has had issues in the past, and there's so much confusion.
We cannot trust any of this data, so who knows?
It could be a thousand people, it could be a hundred thousand people.
We don't know.
We don't know.
There's some average, but it seems to be a heck of a lot less than we were scared into staying home for.
Now, did this work?
And I put that chart in the show notes.
The guy who took the data before the lockdown, after the lockdown, looked at all the death rates of all 50 states and charted them.
And it shows statistically, if I understand it, and I'm not a statistician, that there's pretty much no difference in the death rate between staying home or not staying home.
You saw this graph, right?
Yes, this graph's been going around.
It was all over Twitter.
And it indicated that based on the early numbers and if you project it outward...
The states that said we're not locking down and the states that said we're locking down, the graph goes exactly as it would if they even switched positions.
The lockdown didn't do anything, in other words.
And meanwhile, we're still locked down and worried sick because...
We have, again, a lot of Democrat governors who are scared.
If they lift a lockdown, oh my God, I'm going to be blamed for somebody's death.
They're going to point the finger at me.
It's going to be blood on my hands.
But even crazier is if you look at New York and the numbers...
It appeared to show that over 60% of the people infected got infected while they were at home, locked down.
But that doesn't sit well with the media.
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
That can't be true.
Well, we certainly hope so.
I want to put up a quote from...
Governor Cuomo in New York, which sort of had some surprising information in it.
He said 66% of the people who were in new cases were at home, which is shocking to us.
He said this is a surprise.
Overwhelmingly, the people were at home.
We thought maybe they were taking public transportation and we've taken special precautions, but actually no, these people were literally at home.
66% of the new cases.
How does that happen?
Well, generally speaking, patients report, and this has been well established, better and safer behaviors than reality.
So people report that they may be staying at home.
They're lying!
But in fact, we know 600 people got the infection during pretty harsh sheltering conditions in the New York area.
How did that happen?
That means they got the infection during the extreme measures.
Dude, this...
They can't even take any kind of news in any other light, can they?
These people, they're liars!
No, we've got an agenda, we're going to stick to it.
Liars, liars, liars, liars, liars.
Anyway, I promise to get you into the UK. I'm going to play...
I was wondering how you're going to work that in the UK. I'm sorry, I... I know.
This is interesting.
He's gone off the rails.
I am off the rails.
I'm just going to pull a hard left.
Katie Hopkins on Sky.
Luckily, at least they can talk about the Neil Ferguson guy and his multiple mistakes.
And only in typical British fashion can they rip a guy down the way Katie Hopkins does in this clip.
Unbelievable.
So there's this bearded scientist.
He's the typical science type.
He looks like the sort of guy nobody would want to sit next to at a wedding.
He's called Neil Ferguson.
And he's basically the guy that was the one that made it such that the UK was locked down.
He's called Professor Lockdown.
He was the one that came up with the modelling that persuaded Boris Johnson that...
We all had to be shut away and put under house arrest in our homes.
He said 500,000 people might die in the UK because of coronavirus.
Now, what they then did, whilst he had the rest of us locked down, he got his mistress, his married lover, a woman, funnily enough, called Mrs Statz.
So for a guy who does modelling and statistics, she's called that.
He had her over and Professor Pantsdown got his pecker out on a number of occasions to, you know, help entertain Mrs.
Stats whilst the rest of us were in lockdown.
So number one, massive hypocrisy as per usual.
Number two, he is known for being absolutely crazy with these models, like 500,000 deaths.
We're nowhere near that number.
He predicted 200 million would die from the bird flu.
I believe it ended up being 242.
Like his modeling is about as accurate as my five year old standing up to take a pee.
So why we're listening to him at all, I don't know.
And now Professor Pantspan has got his todger out whilst the rest of us are in lockdown.
So frankly, regular Brits have had enough.
Whoa, you got butt slammed!
I was a little disappointed in that clip.
Really?
Because we played a Katie Hopkins clip two shows ago where she's bitching about the same guy, but before the mistress story.
And she used the same story about her little boy trying to pee standing up.
Oh, I've forgotten about that.
She's recycling some of her gags.
Oh, boo.
Boo-hoo.
Well, we shall report that to the Sky News division.
It's fake news.
It's old news.
This is no good.
We can't have that.
Alright, so here we are in the UK. Welcome.
It's your turn.
Okay, well, I don't have anything to compare to that last clip.
You pre-topped me.
That sounds so bad, yeah.
Comic sense.
Very funny.
UK restrictions, garden centres, they're finally going to open, they're going to loosen things up by opening up the garden centres.
Of any major loosening of restrictions.
Garden centres, though, in England will be allowed to open from Wednesday.
It's part of first step measures.
But with the sun out this weekend, many people are already ignoring some of the restrictions still in place, as Rebecca Williams reports.
The sun's out and you'd be forgiven for thinking lockdown is over.
Despite the odd reminder, mixed messages and little information from the government are making it feel like the country's starting to move again.
Definitely needs to be lifted round about now.
A lot of the people, they're not really sticking to the rules anyway.
I think he should go as far as he can to reduce it.
I think people have been very good so far, but I think there's a tipping point.
You feel a bit weird, like it's contradictive, the feeling of, are we allowed to be outside now?
Are we allowed to do more than one exercise a day?
I think it's going to be definitely easy, because it's already happening, so it would be very strange if he says the opposite.
Go home, please.
It's not a holiday.
It's a lockdown.
During the lockdown, most have stuck to the rules, but the police have had to come down hard on some.
In the West Midlands, this man even spat blood into a police officer's eye as he was handcuffed, raising fears of contamination.
Forces across the UK have been patrolling parks and streets, but there are concerns that this weekend could place added pressure on officers.
It's got its challenges because it's a bank holiday weekend.
People need a boost, I think, and it's a great opportunity to commemorate the VE Day celebrations.
I know it's confusing, but the rules are still the same.
As the weeks go on, it seems parts of the country are getting busier and busier.
In the first four weeks of lockdown, the police issued nearly 9,000 fixed penalty notices to those flouting the rules, with the highest number issued in London, the Thames Valley, and also Lancashire.
They're handing out tickets.
Yeah.
100 pounds, I think.
And our friend in the UK, the NHS worker, she says...
The real problem that she's noticing is what they call, to Britishism, the curtain wranglers.
Curtain wranglers.
These are the old ladies that are looking out their window and they're turning people in left and right.
Narcs.
Yeah, the narcs.
And they're turning people in left and right.
And the cops come over and give you a ticket if the curtain wrangler turns you in.
And this is going on all over the UK. Do you know that we have a huge narc in Texas?
I mean, a huge narc.
A narc?
Okay, I'm going to tell you what happened, and you're going to guess who it is.
A guy in Texas sent secret shoppers all over Dallas to restaurants who were opening up to find out if they were complying with reopening guidelines and published today that 96% of Dallas businesses are not complying!
Who's the narc?
I don't know, your mayor?
Mark Cuban.
What?
Yep.
Mark Cuban is a narc.
Cuban will continue sending out secret shoppers over the coming weeks with visits to hundreds of locations planned for the rest of the month.
How is this a good idea?
Well, he has his own restaurant chains.
I think he's invested in Fat Shack and some other pasta joint.
But still, I mean, I don't know.
Someone made him emperor, and he's going around busting, narking on, in fact, competitors.
Wow, what a dick.
Yes!
Yeah, I think he is quite the dick.
Unless I'm missing something, unless I'm missing the point behind it, you know, people are struggling, man.
And, you know, so they're going to cut corners, do whatever they can to get us back, and you're going to sit around and narc on them?
Jeez.
Wow.
That's really a disgusting story.
Okay, well, getting back to the UK. Yeah.
With curtain wranglers.
Onward to the other thing, the newspapers, all these little local newspapers, which the UK is full of.
The UK really is a newspaper country.
It's a great country for press.
Apparently it's going to be ending pretty soon.
We can play this clip.
Analysts are predicting the industry could lose over a billion pounds by the end of the year, with circulation falling by around 40% since lockdown started, and ad revenue down between 50% and 80%.
And it's the local papers that are really suffering.
We all want local newspapers.
They're really important for communities and for providing local news and giving guidance to people.
If they start to disappear, as some already have, I think that's a real problem.
One solution being tabled is to legislate to force the tech giants to pay for news.
They've never really compensated news organisations properly for the value of their content shared through those services, and that's accelerated their decline.
And if we do nothing now, in a very short period of time, we're going to see more news organisations go out of business and more people increasingly reliant on the sorts of disinformation and low-quality news that circulates like a virus through social media.
And with digital users continuing to rise, the physical paper could ultimately be saved by online success stories.
Lucy Cozza, Sky News.
Now hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
How does this work?
How come those guys are all mad at Google?
Shouldn't Google be giving them their journalists like they do in America?
We just talked about that.
I got to kick out of the line that once the newspapers go, the only thing that's left is going to be low-quality, crappy news.
And then I'm thinking to myself, you mean like the BBC and Sky News?
Yes, exactly.
It left the broadcast element completely out of the story.
So they're headed in the direction we're already at.
What was the name of that outfit?
The Google thing where they're putting hundreds of journalists.
You know the story.
I know.
I can't remember the name of the outfit.
Oh, fine.
Anyway.
Doofuses is what it's called.
Doofuses.
Okay, so the only one I couldn't get this story, so I only have the teaser for it, but I can explain the story.
For some reason, I just kept...
I just couldn't get the story.
But there's the teasers, UK heli payments.
Coming up next here on Sky News, giving away money to heal a sick economy.
How so-called helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.
Helicopter paint?
What?
So this is in Ireland.
And so these literal helicopters, the big boys.
No.
Yes, and they're throwing bags of money out of the chop.
No!
No, no, no.
Yes, it's true.
I don't understand.
They can't just land?
What's going on?
No, they're just throwing it.
Here I am, ladies and gentlemen, in my stealth helicopter.
Jeez.
I've got to hear that clip again.
You need to get the whole story.
Coming up next here on Sky News, giving away money to heal a sick economy.
How so-called helicopter payments could be the cure for a global slowdown.
Nah, you're full of crap, Dvorak.
No, I'm telling you, they're throwing bags of money out of the choppers.
And it almost reminds me of some old movie where the king is throwing pennies at the peasants and they're following him.
And they're all used little boys and girls that are waifs.
And they're all grabbing the coins and the money off the ground.
But they haven't actually done this yet, have they?
This has not occurred yet.
They showed a video of the chopper throwing bags of money flying out of the chopper, yeah.
This is crazy.
I'm trying to find this now.
I want to find some pictures of it.
Okay, well the memes are there.
There's helicopters with a big piggy bank underneath.
Someone's already working on it.
Okay, perfect.
Heli payments.
Who ever heard of such a ridiculous thing?
That is nuts.
Alright, so I do have some...
Kind of the story which was starting to appear on Thursday and now it's getting more traction is this bright...
Yeah, so this is the guy who will be the whistleblower, or he is the whistleblower.
Yeah, this is good.
I'm interested.
I'm glad you're following this.
So here is the, I guess it's a four-parter.
They're all short clips.
But this Nora O'Donnell is going to interview them today on 60 Minutes.
But they took some clips for this Friday news show to tease us.
And they're the best clips.
So this guy...
And I don't want to defame him because of his sexual orientation.
Well, you shouldn't.
It has nothing to do with it.
And I'm not going to do that.
Then why even bring it up?
Oh, but.
He is such an annoying kind of a character that...
And he's over, he said, okay, he's a drama queen.
All right, there you go.
That's fine.
And so he comes on as, you know, and he's going to be the, this is going to be the Democrats new, oh, he's going to be the strong man that's going to take down Trump.
And this guy can barely keep it together talking to Nora.
So let's listen to the clips.
This is Nora on the, oh, no, it's actually only three.
So let's go with Nora, Interviews Bright.
This is the intro.
Bright recently led BARDA. That's a key agency created to defend the country against outbreaks.
And he says he was removed from his job for putting science over politics.
And he filed a whistleblower complaint earlier this week.
And today, a federal agency found reasonable grounds to believe that the administration was retaliating against Bright.
Well, tonight, a preview of our wide-ranging conversation.
Ooh, I'm all buzzing.
So this guy, you know, this agency no one's ever heard of, is making a big fuss.
And they're going to go after another impeachment with this character.
But I think he's weak.
Listen to him.
He can't even keep it together in this 22-second clip part...
Oh, to make it part...
No, I'm sorry.
It's 50 seconds.
Part two.
Tonight, another...
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
Nora interviews right, too.
Okay, but we skipped over Nora...
Hold on.
I'm sorry.
I had the wrong one.
Okay, here we go.
The president called you a disgruntled employee.
I am not disgruntled.
I am frustrated at a lack of leadership.
I am frustrated at a lack of urgency to get a head start on developing life-saving tools for Americans.
I'm frustrated at our inability to be heard as scientists.
Those things frustrate me.
As early as January, emails show he was sounding the alarm, first about the critical shortage of N95 masks.
We see too many doctors and nurses now dying.
And I was thinking that we could have done more to get those masks and those supplies to them sooner.
And if we had...
Would they still be alive today?
Oh, yeah.
This is it.
This is the beauty.
Oh, yeah.
Trump has blood on his hands.
Yeah, they got the science meme.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the talking points that Nancy dreamed up.
He sounds familiar.
He sounds like this guy.
Well, like I described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society.
You either work for someone else or you work for yourself.
And most people work for someone else in a way that they aren't free.
Didn't he sound a bit like Noodle Boy?
He sounds like Noodle Boy, only talks even slower.
He sounds like a dumb Noodle Boy.
It's Noodle Boy 2.0!
Yeah.
And he's a whiner and he's going into tears while he's there.
This is so pathetic.
Anyway, this is part three.
It's a horrible thought to think about the time that passed where we could have done something and we didn't.
Bright claims his persistent warnings caused tension with his bosses at the Department of Health and Human Services.
It reached a breaking point when he raised concerns over the administration's embrace of hydroxychloroquine, what he called a drug unproven to treat COVID-19 patients.
You believe you were retaliated against because you raised concerns about hydroxychloroquine?
Yes, I do.
And says he was surprised to learn he'd been reassigned to the NIH to develop diagnostic testing.
You'd been sounding the alarm about the lack of testing platforms.
This sounded like an important job.
That's an important initiative.
Nora, I'm the director of BARDA. To take me out of our organization focused on drugs and vaccines and diagnostics in the middle of a pandemic, The worst public health crisis that our country has faced in a century and decapitate the BARDA organization to move me over to a very small, focused project of any scale, of any level of importance is not responsible.
It doesn't make sense.
Oh my god, Drama Queen is the right question.
Or is the right description.
Oh my goodness.
So, what is this BARDA organization?
It's someone, it's just a subgroup, runs on HHS and it's...
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority.
Oh yeah, without those guys, we're toast.
BARDA with a D, that's what it is.
BARDA with a D. They've got a crappy-ass website, too.
Yeah, this guy's going to be their go-to guy.
And if you see him and listen to him, the Republicans on those committees, even though there's going to be House, so it's going to be led by Nadler and Schiff, but the Republicans that are on those committees will eat this guy alive.
He's going to be a wreck.
Wow.
Yeah, I don't know how well he'll do.
I can barely do this interview with Norah without going into tears.
People have died!
But this is part of a larger movement that the media is involved in.
Entertainment, news, Hollywood.
I have two clips to back it up, unless you want to do more.
But about this particular topic, there's blood on his hands.
This shows up, this is WGN-TV Chicago.
A new study says the death toll in the U.S. is double what it could have been if governments had responded just a few days earlier.
The earliest stay-at-home orders were implemented in late March.
Orders to wear face masks began in April.
Researchers with Princeton say if these orders had come four days earlier, the U.S. would be seeing fewer than a thousand deaths a day instead of more than two thousand a day.
They point to California, which implemented stay-at-home orders early and now has fewer deaths per capita than other large states.
See how that works?
That's exactly how it works.
But that hasn't taken it far enough.
Now, for that, we need to go to Hollywood.
And for that, we need to check in with your girl, Amy, on Democracy Now!
A 56-foot billboard called the Trump Death Clock has been unveiled in Times Square here in New York.
The billboard was created by the Oscar-nominated filmmaker Eugene Jarecki.
So the Trump death clock is a billboard that hangs over Times Square.
By the way, this is the same milieu as this Brink guy.
And what it shows is an estimate of the number of U.S. COVID-19 deaths that resulted from the president and his team's failed response to the coronavirus outbreak.
Thanks to Dr.
Fauci and leading epidemiologists, we now know that had the mitigation guidelines been put into effect just one week earlier, on March 9th instead of March 16th, 60% of U.S. COVID-19 deaths would have been prevented.
That's an incredible number, and on behalf of all those who needlessly lost their lives to this failed leadership in a pandemic, we need a symbol, a symbol that cries out not only for accountability, but also for more responsible and responsive stewardship going forward.
At the time of this broadcast, the Trump death clock stands at 46,485 and growing.
The arrogance of this whole, right down to Amy's report, and growing.
I am actually speechless.
This is the bottom of the barrel for sleazeball tactics.
It is.
And Eugene Jarecki, who is a respected film director, more like a Sundance kind of guy, but he has a brand new movie coming out on Netflix.
Who have quite a China strategy, so maybe that has something to do with it.
I don't know how you get a billboard on Times Square.
Well, I do, actually.
I don't know if you can even get one now, if business is being done.
But I know who owns Times Square.
So, this is a Chinese thing going on with this guy, as far as I'm concerned.
He's virtue signaling towards his money people and his backers and whatever else.
It's sickening.
And then for Amy, the death clock, 46,321 and counting.
Horrible lady.
Horrible, horrible, horrible lady.
That is, yes, that death clock thing, it's humiliation to the country.
Speaking of humiliation...
Yeah, and it's China.
China.
China's put the death clock up there because they hate Trump.
They may be behind this whole thing for all we know.
Nobody's been able to prove it.
And now they're doing this bullcrap just to get Trump out so they can put a pats in like Joe Biden.
Well, let's have a little listen to the president from the Oval Office.
I think the words matter.
We went through the worst attack we've ever had in our country.
This is really the worst attack we've ever had.
This is worse than Pearl Harbor.
This is worse than the World Trade Center.
There's never been an attack like this.
And it should have never happened.
Could have been stopped at the source.
That seems...
If I were in Beijing, I'd be like, what did he call it?
An attack.
An attack.
That's very clear language to me.
I don't know.
Well, if they're going to keep pulling this stuff like the death clock, the Chinese – and we will say that the Chinese are behind it because I think your analysis is correct.
They're going to hear more of that because he called the Chinese flu and all this, and he backed off almost overnight because of a phone call or whatever because he does these – he negotiates.
Well, he's negotiating now.
If they want – the Chinese want to keep the pressure up to get him voted out.
Yeah.
Which is meddling, by the way, in an American election.
That's going to be jacked up.
You watch.
Well, let's continue.
Let's see what China is doing.
Let me see.
Jimmy Kimmel.
What network is he on?
He's on the Chinese-controlled Disney network.
Ah, yes, ABC. Let's see what he had in his opening monologue the other night regarding Mike Pence.
Here he is, with no mask on, wheeling boxes of PPEs into a healthcare center, and...
Doing his best to lift them.
What a hero.
Just barely in the door.
And since it was going so well, and also because he didn't realize he had a mic on, Magic Mike decided to keep it going.
Listen in closely here.
You probably can't hear it, but Pence literally says, how about these boxes?
The guy says, those are empty, sir.
And he says, well, why don't we just grab them, what, for the TV cameras?
No.
Mike Pence pretending to carry empty boxes of PPEs into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing.
A big box of nothing, delivering another box of nothing.
So when I saw the clip, I'm like, oh my god, how can you fail on that?
That sounds so lame.
And I was looking at it on Twitter, and I'm going to give Twitter props.
Right underneath the video, it said, manipulated media.
So I'm like, oh, that's interesting.
I click on it.
Then it says, according to some people, this was edited.
It's not the way it happened.
Well, it is the way it happened, because this is on C-SPAN, and I put a link to it in the show notes.
There's 20 minutes of Pence literally lugging boxes, diving into the back of the van, schlepping them out, not letting other people really help him, and they're heavy.
He's putting them all down.
At the very end, they're joking around, and the guy says, no, those are empty.
He says, oh, come on, we'll just do it for the TV cameras.
After he's actually done that, Yeah, well, Kimmel apologized.
Oh, he did?
He did?
Oh, I didn't know he apologized.
But he apologized in an offhanded way.
The apology consisted of him saying, well, it turned out that the boxes he was carrying were full.
They weren't empty at all.
And I'm so sorry that we made this.
This was wrong.
And I hate to say that because the administration was lying all the time.
He has to.
But, John, he has to because he's got the Chinese Communist Party up his little mouse butt.
Like, hey, hey, hey, hey, be careful there.
But here's what's really going on.
Reuters, as far as I know, is really the first one to report on it because I think it also is going to have a name pretty soon.
The name would be the Economic Prosperity Network.
Sharpening his tone against China, President Trump said late Thursday a trade deal between the two was now of secondary importance.
The US leader threatened Beijing with new tariffs as his administration crafted retaliatory measures over COVID-19.
Trump's frustration has been growing as tens of thousands have died from the virus in the US. The economic contraction as a result also threatens his chances of re-election in November.
Two US officials speaking on condition of anonymity said a range of options against China were in the early stages of discussion, although they added that recommendations have not yet reached the level of Trump's top national security team or the president.
One source said there's a discussion as to how hard to hit China.
That could leave the US walking a tightrope in its ties with Beijing.
It's currently importing crucial personal protection equipment from China for healthcare workers.
A multi-billion dollar first phase trade deal with China was only signed in January.
World stocks pulled back further on Friday following Trump's comments.
While most European markets were closed for a public holiday, stocks in London slid over 2%.
Grim data combined with Trump's threats added to already dented sentiment.
So this thing is real, and it's quite a task force.
In fact, the information coming out is this is a whole of government effort, a very well-known phrase, of course, but in Trump's case, it might actually happen, in which free trade advocates seem to be losing their struggle with the China hawks inside the administration.
Yes, it seems like the globalists are losing out this time.
And I was listening to a globalist who I happen to like, Where is my globalist buddy here?
This is Elon Musk.
Oh, Elon!
And he was on Joe Rogan, which was interesting.
I think Joe does some of his best work with Elon Musk.
That's a very messed up interview to listen to at times.
I found this one impossible.
Musk seemed like something was wrong with him.
Well, I think he's still trying to figure out how to pronounce his kid's own name.
You know, that's his problem there.
It's like A-E-X-5 Sigma Tau.
Fine by me, Elon.
But here's what he was talking about when...
Because he's been pretty vocal about the shutdown.
It appears he's against that.
It appears he thinks it's not a good idea.
And this came up in the interview.
I mean, you look at civilizations through the ages.
Most of them, you know, they rose and fell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I do think the globalization that we have at the meme sphere, there's not enough isolation between countries or regions.
It's like if there's a mind virus, that mind virus can infect too much of the world.
I actually...
Sort of sympathize with the anti-globalization people, because it's like, man, we don't ever want to ever actually be the same, for sure.
And then we need some kind of, like, mind viral immunity.
So that's his...
He feels some sympathy with the anti-globalist people.
Wow, Yelon.
That was the worst...
The whole interview?
I mean, he just seemed, it was just disconnected.
Well.
Even listening to that clip, it's like, what was he even, I don't know.
Well, I think what he was trying to say is that this mind virus where everyone's like, holy crap, we're all going to die.
I mean, it's not just like something that happened accidentally.
It came from somewhere and has been enhanced.
A gain of function amplified by the mainstream media.
And he says, you know, how do we stop that?
Well, that's basically what globalism does and what it wants.
Well, I agree with you.
You should have been on the show.
You should go back on the show.
I should go back on the show, yes.
I have not been invited.
Well, you will be.
Let's go on to a couple other things going on.
We've got a couple of cases in the White House.
Yes, this is very interesting.
Oh, this is, try to play the Nora on new cases.
This is a big deal.
Tonight, another White House staffer, this time a top aide to the vice president, has tested positive for coronavirus.
Katie Miller, the press secretary to Vice President Pence, is now the second confirmed case tied to the West Wing after a valet who serves the president's meals tested positive on Wednesday.
Miller is married to Stephen Miller, one of the president's senior advisors.
And tonight, her test is raising questions about whether the White House is doing enough to distance the president and vice president from others.
For his part, President Trump told reporters today the whole concept of tests aren't great.
Those are his words.
And he said he's convinced the virus will just go away without a vaccine.
His own advisors have said that's not true.
Hold on a second.
Let's go over that little comment here by Nora.
He says it's going to go away by itself, which seems to be the case with all these previous events, you know, from bird flu to swine flu.
Everywhere, yeah.
And my point, people say, well, why would it go away?
It's going to come back.
I say, what about SARS? How come that didn't come back?
SARS, we never got an immunity to SARS. What about MERS? We never got immunity to MERS. And then you should just throw in, and how about peak oil?
Just throw that in for no reason.
We'll see if you can really rub it in.
What about peak oil and your other stupid ideas?
Yeah, that one.
So Norris says at the end that the president says it's going to go away, but his advisors say it's not.
How do they know?
It doesn't matter.
How do they know it's not going to go away?
Why does his advisors know more than he does?
Because it's a crapshoot.
You don't know it's going to go away or it's not going to go away.
There's no proof one way or the other.
Yeah, but she wants Trump to go away, so that's why she has to report it this way.
Now you're talking.
Now you're getting it.
All right, let's go to new cases in White House.
This is a continued report.
Oh, but wait, there's more.
News that one of the vice president's closest aides, Katie Miller, tested positive for the virus, delayed Mr.
Pence's scheduled trip to Iowa.
Miller was not on board Air Force Two, but six staffers who had recent exposure to her had to be removed.
Katie, she tested very good for a long period of time, and then all of a sudden today she tested positive.
Doesn't matter what you do with Trump, you're the top, you're the best.
She tested, I mean, better than anybody else for negative.
She was just the best negative.
I mean, when it comes to testing, Katie, you couldn't have a better one.
I'm telling you, you could not have a better person to be tested.
It was Katie.
A long period of time, and then all of a sudden today she tested positive.
She hasn't come into contact with me.
She spent some time with the vice president.
Miller is with the vice president nearly every day.
Her husband is senior presidential aide Stephen Miller.
President Trump attended their wedding in February, held at Trump's Washington Hotel.
Despite the potential...
Which, by the way, is a great hotel.
It's one of the best hotels.
Truly, if you want a test, if you want the number one test, you're going to do it at the best hotel.
That's where...
Hey, we don't mess around.
Trump's Washington Hotel.
That's why I have to bring it up.
Despite the potential exposure, Mr.
Pence did not wear a mask while in Iowa.
We also now know that President Trump was in the same room as his personal White House valet on Tuesday, the day before the valet tested positive for coronavirus.
Today, the president still addressed a group of World War II veterans at a VE Day ceremony without wearing a mask.
The wind was blowing so hard in such a direction that if...
If the plague ever reached them, I might be very surprised.
The president says he's now being tested every day, and so far is negative.
But doctors say that may be a false sense of security.
Somebody could become infected, be incubating the virus, and test negative every day, including yesterday.
Then this morning, become infectious, still feel fine, and spread it to other people before the next test shows that they are, in fact, infected.
That bastard!
I'm glad that that report at least contained a little bit of VE Day, which was completely ignored by the American media.
I believe you pointed that out in the newsletter.
Yes, I did.
But it was also very odd to see...
In the Netherlands, which was liberated on May 5th, but on May 4th, they have at 8 o'clock...
This is actually very unique to the Netherlands.
8 p.m.
on May 4th, all traffic stops...
Everyone is quiet, and they told the bell, and they have a moment of silence, two minutes, two minutes, and everyone is completely silent.
And I've been in the Netherlands where it was 8 o'clock, and the highway, people stopped, just stopped on the highway, and then waited, some got out, and then everyone waited for the two minutes of silence, and they got in, they drove off.
So the...
This ceremony has been going on since the end of World War II. And having the troops, the Yanks and the Brits, coming through in their jeeps, the flags, it was such a joyous occasion.
None of it.
All just quiet, no one on the street.
No parties.
This passed by.
I think it's a shame how quietly that passed by because of all this.
I don't think it's because of all this.
I think it was in spite of all this.
They could have done anything.
They could have made a little presentation on the news or anything instead of all this nonsense they're doing about how Miller was married at the Trump Hotel.
There was very little mention of it.
I mean, Trump did this little ceremony, but the media just dropped it.
They didn't want to talk anything about anything that's patriotic.
They just don't want to do it.
Amy would rather brag about the big sign talking about how many dead are from Trump.
This is, again, a Chinese influence.
The Chinese do not want the Americans.
The Chinese, by the way, have been watching CGTV, whatever it is, the Chinese outlet, constantly.
Most of the globalists are actually coming out of China nowadays because the Chinese actually think they have the opportunity to not only be For a globalist world, but for them to run the thing.
And so a nationalist event like VE Day, which is a nationalist event, because we beat Hitler, of all people, a nationalist event is to be frowned upon.
And the media just paid, okay, we won't play it up.
We won't even mention it.
I don't think half the people even knew it went by.
You're so right, though, and I think we can't hammer it enough.
And we should probably reiterate it's CCP, Chinese Communist Party.
I don't know many Chinese people.
I'm sure they're just like us.
I'm sure that they're in deeper crap than we are with these a-holes running the show.
There's a cool video from some Chinese guy, Chinese-American guy, that I put in the show notes, and it's the history of China.
Actually, it's called...
Oh, yeah, I saw that.
It's very funny.
It's great.
It's called The Story of How China Ruined Everything.
And it's 30 minutes, and it's pretty good.
I mean, it's not complete, and it's easy to skip over 5,000 years here or there, but I was very impressed with that, and you'll learn something from it.
It's worth watching.
Pompeo is also out on the road, also speaking out against China.
Wait, just before, I want to just mention one thing, because these clips about the...
Infections in the White House, the press is giddy over this because they're hoping Trump gets it.
We can't forget this one element.
We must remember this one element.
Trump is a germophobe.
And the likelihood of him getting it based on some of the earlier reports that we've had on how you do get it, Trump's never going to get it unless he kisses somebody with it.
Which is always possible.
Yeah.
Right.
Pompeo, yes.
Pompeo.
We know for sure that this...
This is actually context.
CNBC is the financial news channel.
We know for sure that this virus originated in Wuhan, China, and that the disease emanated around the world.
The Chinese Communist Party covered this up.
We have been working diligently and are working diligently today to get the Chinese Communist Party to help us identify Patient Zero, where this began, how this came to be.
And this isn't about politics.
This isn't about partisanship.
This is about protecting Americans tomorrow.
This is an ongoing crisis.
The world's epidemiologists still don't know the origins of this virus.
The reason that we continue to ask for transparency and for a reliable partner in China is because it matters going forward.
So not only do we have this current pandemic that's taking place, but we still have to figure out how to get therapeutics and get vaccines to market, all the things that we need, this information that only the Chinese Communist Party has in its possession.
They're the only ones that can help the world resolve this today and for our American security.
But we've got to make sure this doesn't happen again.
So I think this is very interesting, if true.
He's saying that we can't even make the vaccine without pertinent key information that China is not handing over.
I don't know if it's true, but he's saying it, and there should be questions about it.
Hey, Fauci, or hey, Bill, Dr.
Bill, Dr.
Professor Bill.
Yeah, maybe.
Well, here's a tack they're not using yet, which I think could be used.
And I think Pompeo could do it well and it would be used as leverage.
The Chinese cases of corona have dropped to nothing.
What do they know that we don't know?
That's a very good way of doing it.
No, they just say, no, Trump, Xi Jinping, there's your problem.
That's what would come back.
Just briefly on therapeutics and vaccines.
On the therapeutic side, I have a beautiful breakdown from our official No Agenda pharmacist.
Many people have noticed that the New England Journal of Medicine has published a new observational study regarding hydroxychloroquine.
And, of course, it turns out to be completely useless.
Why would you even consider using it?
But it's interesting because, as our official no-agenda pharmacist says, below are my favorite parts which highlight the implicit bias.
And the main bias is the patience they took.
Oh, besides the fact that they had no...
What do you call it?
Double-blind.
No placebo, etc.
They only took, and there was no treatment with zinc.
Here it is.
The azithromycin suggestion was removed on April 12th.
The hydroxychloroquine suggestion was removed April 29th.
The decision to prescribe either or both medications was left to the discretion of treating team for each individual patient.
He says, our pharmacist says, here's the implicit bias, as the only people included in the study were those people who needed to have moderate or severe disease treated.
So they were already in the ventilator stage, which is actually, as we know from other doctors who have successfully used hydroxychloroquine, is really too late.
You want to use it much, much earlier, almost like Tamiflu.
So it's very similar to the VA study, no placebo, one particular group of people with a certain type of level of illness.
I mean, the whole thing is broken down in the show notes.
It's under therapeutics.
It's well worth a read.
But a lot of people did send in that, as well as a lot of people who have sent a very...
It's kind of the same...
Letter or email, it's the debunking of the Plandemic documentary.
This is the one with Dr.
Judy Mikovits, who has been around for years and is saying that Dr.
Fauci should go to jail for being a criminal.
And what's interesting is they all are kind of the same, these responses or the debunkings, and it attacks her really more for...
Business political reasons, how she handled herself with publishing of studies or not, really doesn't address any of the main issues.
But the thing that always comes up, which I think is the mistake in this, it seems like it might be some form of coordinated response.
This is literally one of those, hey Adam, a friend of mine has a couple of nurse friends or doctor friends and here's what they have to say.
And then you get a forward of the email.
But it always says in there that Dr.
Mikovic claims there's never been an RNA vaccine.
And in every single one of these debunking responses, it's, oh yeah, are you kidding me?
There's tons of them.
There's vaccines for all kinds of RNA viruses.
Yeah.
But that's the difference.
There's vaccines for RNA viruses.
The RNA vaccine that is being discussed...
Which is actually called mRNA.
mRNA.
Well, you looked into it, right?
You had a thing for me to put in the show notes.
Yeah.
Yeah, that paper which discusses the mRNA vaccine, which is an experimental idea.
All the RNA vaccines are based on the old-fashioned way of you cultivate the disease and then you use attenuated versions or kill it.
You grow it and then kill it and you do all these different things to make a vaccine.
It's just a normal way of making a vaccine.
This mRNA vaccine is a totally different animal.
It's never been proven to work.
So the fact that this is in these answers...
It's in the show notes.
There's a good paper on it.
When somebody sent me that same exact thing you got, some stooge, and I sent him a link to this paper, and I said, here, read this.
The thing that I like the most is that they say, that's a lie.
There have been tons of RNA vaccines.
Like, okay, this has got to be someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.
So the debunkers are being debunked, but there's about three of them in the show notes.
Under debunked, you can look it up there.
Any more clips to do in this Rona segment?
Yeah, I want to guess as we were talking about Fauci debunking RNA and mRNA and all the rest of it.
Go on.
Let's listen to the talking cat.
Yeah!
Been waiting for almost an hour and a half.
Here we go.
Here she talks about Fauci and just an anti-Fauci rant.
It's very well structured.
The scientific evidence is what needs to drive us, and we appreciate the fears of the American people.
But we don't want to have policy that would have negative unintended consequences.
That's actually fairly reasonable.
But that's a quote from 2014 when he was talking about whether or not we should quarantine for Ebola.
Another interesting quote of Anthony S. Fauci, MD Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that the CIA forgot to scrub from history, is when he said that there is no doubt that Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, will be confronted with a surprise infectious disease outbreak during his presidency.
He likely said while rubbing his hands together and then cackling to the sky for several minutes.
When questioned about concerns for the future Trump administration, Fauci reportedly said that there was the potential for a new influenza pandemic and outbreaks of diseases that are not yet on anyone's radar.
The issue of pandemic preparedness, and if there's one message that I want to leave with you today based on my experience, and you'll see that in a moment, is that there is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases, both chronic infectious diseases in the sense of already ongoing disease, and we have certainly a large burden of that, but also there will be a surprise outbreak.
Yes, the same Dr.
Fauci who, according to this WikiLeaks email, loves Hillary Clinton.
That was a verbatim reading of something.
But the cat's okay.
The cat cannot just talk.
The cat can read.
It's quite astounding.
Love the cat.
The cat's pretty good.
Anyway, so that's what I have.
Oh, that's what you have?
Which is Italy?
I don't think I've got anything else.
I think it might be a good time to...
Wait, you got COVID Italy, COVID South Korea?
Take a needed break.
You want to do anything about South Korea or Russia?
Did I get cut off?
Yeah, I don't know.
You're just talking at me.
You're not listening.
You're not obeying me.
What?
Do you hear me?
Yeah, I apparently hit the mute button.
Yeah.
What I was asking is, do you not want to do the COVID Italy or Russia?
I'm interested in these stories.
Oh, that was the fault.
Those are the country's rundowns.
No, we do that at the end of the show.
We do that at the end of the show?
Okay, well, with that then, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in curtain wranglers, John.
Well, in the morning to you.
And in the morning, the ships at sea, and the boots on the ground, and the feet in the air, and the subs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there.
Yes.
And in the morning, to our trolls.
Let's do a troll count here.
Whoa, 1820.
Hey, trolls, hanging in there.
Not bad for a Sunday.
The troll room.
I did a little check-in this morning at the pre-show after Darren O. And I said, how are y'all doing?
It's mixed.
Not everyone's feeling great.
People are angry.
They're tired.
They're sick of it.
Some are feeling good.
Yeah, there's always so much we can do.
Well, yeah, I know, but...
They even brought the cat on and nobody had to help.
If you want to commiserate with your fellow trolls, head over to their bridge.
You can find it at noagendastream.com.
We've got a chat there as well, IRC chat.
You can access it on the web.
And, of course, you can listen to anything that's happening live at that moment.
A lot of the shows are live.
We're also broadcast live, I believe, now on 1435 AM in Groningen in the northern part of the Netherlands.
Oh, nice.
I love that.
I love just that we're on some random AM frequency somewhere in the north of Holland.
Somewhere.
That's great.
The more of that, the better.
If you've got a little transmitter, set it up, let us know.
It's fantastic.
Noagentastream.com, and thanks, Trolls.
Good to have you here, helping as always.
Then, in the morning to the artiste for episode number 1240, the title of that was Meat Must Flow, and boy does it.
And there was controversy over this image from Trent Drack, who brought us just a great piece.
COVID safe, no agenda, this crazy-ass looking mask, the fonts, everything was great.
And within seconds of posting the show, the narcists were out.
That's artists who narc.
I'm looking at you, comic strip blogger.
He's the number one narc.
This is stolen art!
You must take showdown now!
You must change art!
You will get sued!
This is stolen art!
So I'm like, oh man, did we get hoodwinked?
Because we did an image search, we looked for this wing, we found similar stuff, but not exactly that.
And lo and behold, there it is on some image.
Did you follow any of this, John?
Did you follow any of this going down on Twitter?
I followed the final leg of it, which is this is a piece of licensed art.
The guy has a license.
He can do whatever he wants to do.
I love that he has a license.
Now, that's a no-agenda producer for you right there.
I'm not going to compromise my boys.
Not putting the tribe in any danger.
Yeah, it's a piece of art that you could find maybe if you searched around, not with the no agenda thing and the other stuff on it, and it's been altered like you do with licensed art, but he licenses.
He licenses.
Okay, let's bring up a couple of things.
There you go.
Apparently, comic strip bloggers aren't familiar with, including the piece of art that he actually did steal some time ago, the little Santa Claus thing, which could have been licensed, but he didn't license it.
Now, don't pick on him now.
Don't pick on him.
For commercial artists, they license certain kinds of clip art and different kinds of very specialized looking.
It tends to be stylized.
And they will take out licenses from these different places, one or two of them, and then they'll use the stuff judiciously as its projects come and go.
And it's part of the deal.
This is done with video even more so than it is with art.
There's a number of services out there.
There's a couple of them that Mevio, the guys, Mevio itself didn't use them, but the guys had licenses.
And if you watch almost any of the, every time I watch anybody's presentation, you see the spinning logo come in and...
Flame, the big bulb explosion of flame.
There's all these things that come from one particular site whose name I always forget.
I always have to ask Nick Wee about it.
What's the name of that site again?
It costs like a dollar to license some of the most spectacular videos that you've ever seen.
Yeah.
And everybody subscribes to these services.
And so we have a couple of artists.
I'm sure more than one.
Most of them can't listen to the show and do live art on the fly.
But this is an example of a licensed pro.
Well done piece of art.
I hope I explained that.
Yeah, absolutely.
Anyway.
I just thought it was funny.
The Narciss were out.
That was just funny.
It's so competitive.
It's competitive.
It should be.
Well, thank you, Trent.
Trent Drack for the artwork for episode 1240.
This is great because we're one of the only podcasts, if not the only podcast, that every single show we release has new album art.
It shows up in your podcast players.
Most of them will show it.
And it's exciting when you see it in an overview.
And it says something about the show.
And it's a part of what...
You know what?
The package matters.
Packaging matters.
We learned that from Steve Jobs.
We are the iPhone of podcasts, actually.
Think about it.
A little white box.
Yes.
So noagendaartgenerator.com is where the artists compete, but it's a friendly competition.
Everybody has a good time, and we laugh about it, and we love Comic Strip Blogger.
We're just messing with him because, well, he's a Comic Strip Blogger.
Yeah, he deserves it.
See, you've blocked him everywhere.
I have to deal with the fallout when you say these things, so stop it.
Just stop.
Noagendaartgenerator.com I pick his art.
I probably use more comic strip blogger stuff for the newsletter.
I know, and you don't even follow him.
You're a heathen.
He's too much of a back channeler.
That's the only problem.
Part of our value for value network here at the No Agenda Media Tribe is the way the system works.
Everything you've heard up to date, we can give you the narrative, at least the one we hear, we believe, or what we're finding out from actual sources because we're not.
We're run by pharmaceutical companies or by China or by anybody else for that reason.
It's you, the producers.
And we love to thank our executive and associate executive producers as soon as we can.
We have quite a few, so maybe we should get to it.
All right, bingo, boom.
Way more than normal.
And I want to thank each and every one of them.
And I don't think it's because of Mother's Day and maybe because we triggered some thoughts with the VE Day mention.
I think we should say Happy Mother's Day.
And we will say Happy Mother's Day.
To all the moms out there.
Yes, and moms and dads while we're at it.
It's not really a hallmark holiday, by the way.
No, but here's what was surprising is typically we do a Mother's Day promotion and the joke is that we get five people and no agenda producers hate their moms.
And so this year we did nothing like, eh, it's Mother's Day.
And everyone says beautiful notes to mom.
Starting with Sir Truman, who gave us $1,000 and $2.41 on top of that from Linden, Utah.
Wait, is he at InstaNights?
He says, last week, observing all the stand-here exes, Glass shields, polka dots, masks.
Oh, I see.
And marketing t-shirts, I thought.
I have done a hell of a job gratifying this, gamifying this, so that's a bonus.
COVID is the death of truth.
No agenda is the opposite of whatever that is.
One of the very few places where truth exists, fuck a duck.
Thank you for this.
Was this done by a randomizer?
I don't know.
Thank you for this podcast.
You two ying and yang it, and it just works.
It's actually yin.
It's not yin.
It's yin.
Plus a little help from us third legs.
And it's also zoology.
Zoology.
I realize that all this is back to mac and cheese long for simpler days where no agenda wins awards with recipes, oatmeal and Costco wine reviews.
I'm donating my donation to a friend who was angered by article links being emailed about the COVID hubbub in late March, so I sent the No Agenda show to her.
Her anger dissipated, and out of the blue she inquired, I think my amygdala is shrinking.
Thank you for smacking Chrissy in the mouth.
Dame Chrissy will enjoy being knighted and all the accompanying adornments.
Sir Truman.
Mac and cheese, shut up, slave.
It's true.
Wait a minute.
So this is like an instant daming.
So he is daming a woman he hit in the mouth.
It's an insta dame.
Right?
Do you hear me?
Did you hit the mute again?
Yeah, I bet you did.
I did.
Stop doing that.
I don't even know how I did it.
Uh, I said this is an insta-night.
Insta-dame.
Yeah, insta-dame for the dame he hit in the mouth.
Insta-night!
There is nothing like a dame.
There we go.
Nothing in the world.
Give more national acclaim.
There ain't anything like The mac and cheese life.
Mac and cheese.
Shut up, slave!
You've got karma.
Here we go.
And I'd like to alert the affiliates.
We're going along?
Chris Deister's next from Brookline, Massachusetts.
He also came in with $1,000.
This damehood donation is from my smoking hot wife.
Another, this is an interesting coincidence.
Double damning.
A random number going on here.
Yep.
Two Dame designations by men.
She's going to be Dame Dyster, I think.
Dyster, yeah, Dyster.
She's an incredible mother to our kids, and I know this donation will be much more meaningful of Mother's Day as a Mother's Day gift than any BS item I could have come up with.
Diana hit me in the mouth.
And that's just one of the many reasons I'm the luckiest man on earth.
Aww.
Aww.
That's so beautiful.
I'm going to give them both the karma.
Because we feel that's right.
You've got karma.
And we continue with this theme.
What?
Sir Maxim Rifkin with $1,000 as a birthday present to his wife, Olga...
Olga Rifkin, her birthday is on May 9th, and you're going to insta-dame her.
So we have three insta-dames in a row without any encouragement.
It was in the newsletter.
Good work, boys.
Well done, men.
They love their wives and moms, don't they?
The moms are married.
Olga would like to hear, Obama, you might die, and don't eat me, Joe Bojiden.
Also, Olga's requesting a product development karma.
Well, we got that for you.
You might die.
Don't eat me, Bojiden.
You're scary.
So scary.
You've got karma.
Wow, wow, the ladies.
That'd be great.
This is going to be fun at the roundtable today.
I'm looking forward to it.
Now we've dropped them in normality.
Sir Kevin Dills, the Viscount of Charlotte, $333.34 from Huntersville, North Carolina.
This donation along with the producer credit is my birthday present and myself this year.
I'll be turning 34 on May 12th.
Please add me to the birthday list this past year being 33.
It's gone pretty much how no agenda producer would expect.
I'm looking forward to putting 33 behind me, and this donation amount seems like a great way to celebrate my odometer rolling over.
My seventh night, who'd I like to claim the title of Earl?
My accounting's attached.
The title upgrade will also feel like a good time to expand my protectorate.
I'd like to claim the state of North Carolina, assuming everything checks out with the peerage committee.
Please add me to the title change as Sir Kevin Dill's Earl of North Carolina.
My only jingle request, if it's not too much trouble, is to have Adam play the Dillon version of the title change song.
The times are changing later in the show when we do the changes.
Yes, will do.
Since I've got the platform, I'd like to have a couple of friendly shout-outs.
The first is to all the beautiful people in the No Agenda Local 704 meetup group here in Charlotte.
And I'm looking forward to sucking in soot with all of you again, hopefully very soon.
Second, I'd like to give a shout out to all the folks on the No Agenda social.
You keep me sane.
No jingles, just karma.
Thank you for your courage for coming to get dills.
Viscount of Charlotte, thank you so much, Sir Kevin, and of course we'll be happy to bring out the Robert Zimmerman version.
Then we have Sir 10T, Duke of the Federal Reserve, District 7.
Dears Crackpot and BuzzFeed, thank you for the continued service during the Rona lockdown.
I know that even Knights are struggling with the imposed restrictions, especially in the hub of Federal Reserve District 7, Chicago.
Keep your head up, Sir Jofo.
Things will get better soon enough.
No karma, but can I get a Bernie?
I have all the power.
Greta, how dare you?
And Fletcher, orange combo.
That'd be great.
All the best, Sir 10T, Duke of the Federal Reserve District No.
7.
And he came in with $333.33.
Oh!
I'm the President of the United States.
I have all of the power.
How dare you?
Orange!
I got it.
Thanks.
Guess who's up next?
Maxine Waters Gravel is back.
Nice!
The Gravel returns.
From Louisville, 3333.
The Gravel has a few enterprises that qualify for some magic munchkin...
Or munchkin.
Mnuchin money.
So as to celebrate, what better way to gift a portion to the greatest show in the universe who would have thought that the man who invoked my existence would play a part in helping the show?
All hail!
Simulation.
Was that it?
Hold on.
No, no.
All hail the simulation.
This amount catapults me in July to move it.
Catapults me to Baron.
I understand that it may now claim a protectorate.
If available, I'd like to claim the greater Bongo Bongo land and its surrounding territories.
Jingle request.
Chongqing, China?
Not a huntsman, but the Sir Chris produced jingle?
Followed by China A-hole, and you might die.
Goat karma for all.
Your corona papers, please.
Cheers, MWG. Happy Mother's Day to all, to my mom and all the no-agenda moms out there.
Hello, friends!
The show just came from China, the city of Chongqing.
China welcomes you with open arms.
Donald Trump, don't trust China.
China is asshole!
You might not.
You've got...
Sir Cal of Lavender Blossoms returns.
Lavenderblossoms.org.
It is the official...
What do we call it?
The official CBD operation.
CBD operation of the No Agenda Show tribe.
When we're hurting, we get our Lavender Blossoms salve.
In the morning, folks.
Hey, McAfee, just buy me lunch and I'll write a golden article about you right after I write my cookbook.
Did you happen to listen to McAfee on Nick the Rat's last podcast?
No, I didn't know he was on.
Oh my gosh.
What's McAfee doing on?
McAfee will do anything.
He went to the store.
He said, buy me the dinner he owes me.
Happy Mother's Day and happy birthday, John.
So it's a bit belated, and that's from Cal.
So wait a minute.
McAfee owes you money?
No, it was me at dinner.
Oh, dinner?
From what?
Yeah, when he was in the heyday, when he was actually making money, he was actually working for a living, and we went out to Starz in San Francisco, and now a defunct restaurant was very famous at the time.
And I picked up the tab, and he said, ah, the next one's on me.
Uh-huh.
That was the end of Never Saw Him Again.
Well, he's a horrible man.
He's a liar.
I don't know about...
Yeah, maybe.
Come on!
That's not right.
He took off.
Anyway, I will have to listen to this Nick the Rat interview with McAfee.
That's got to be one of the most fabulous things to listen to, no doubt.
3-33-09 from...
Sir Nick, Dragon of the Four Domains, Waterford, Michigan.
I'd like to donate for Mother's Day.
I am sure that my son, Andrew, loves sitting with me listening to your show.
I know he's up in heaven.
Oh, yes.
Cupping his head and shaking his head, laughing his butt off.
I'm sure, absolutely, I'm sure he is as well.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
What was the nine for, I wonder?
Baronet Sir Nick.
Hmm.
I don't know.
Hard to say.
Joel Tucker, meanwhile, from Largo, Florida, is here with $333, and he sent an email in which I isolated.
Oh, good.
Well, you wisely took that next one.
The next thing I could...
Okay, he writes, ITM. The next thing I could do...
The next thing I could think to do on Mother's Day was to become a knight, and this donation brings you to the roundtable.
Ah, get your pen out.
Ooh, okay.
This is good.
It's another one on this huge list we've got.
It's crazy today.
Now I can say to my mother, see mom, people are calling me sir now.
Yeah, well it's true.
There's nothing wrong about it.
Nothing wrong about it.
If it pleases the purist committee, I'd like to be knighted as sir.
Here we go, ready?
Yep.
Sir.
Not sure how to pronounce it.
L-O-C-Y bin.
Loki bin.
L-O-C-Y bin.
Knight.
Knight of the Psychonauts.
Psychonauts?
P-S-Y. Psycho.
N-A-U-T-S. Like not.
Astronaut.
Psychonaut.
Oh, Sherlockin.
Night of the Psychonauts.
I get it.
Easy.
Done.
Does he want something at the round table?
I'm going to continue to read.
Thursday you were trying to come up with a name for social surveillance.
I suggest social eyes.
Where the play on words sort of fits the criteria you were looking for.
Social eyes.
I would like to ask for some goat karma, but he's got no special requests.
I would like to ask for some goat karma, but that has to be the greatest Valley for Valley I've ever had.
I would like to ask for some goat karma.
Okay, that has got to be the greatest Valley for Valley I've ever had.
I'm not sure what he's meaning.
Thank you so much for the infosainment.
All right.
You're welcome.
More than welcome.
You've got...
Did you catch the note from the kid who's graduating today?
Yes, I did.
What was his name?
It was so sweet.
I should have printed that note out.
It was a mistake.
Because he invited us to his virtual...
Robert Blankshane.
He wrote a beautiful, beautiful note about his graduation from St.
John's College in Annapolis.
And I just want to read this because I feel truly as though I could not have done it without the two of you and the show and the entire No Agenda community.
He's been listening for five years.
That's really great.
That really pleases me.
Yes, I was impressed by that note.
Honey, one of our children graduated.
Sorry?
No, I was just saying, honey, one of our children graduated.
Joel Tucker, by the way, from Largo gave $333.
And meanwhile, Ono Priester in Sust, Holland, $333.
He also sent a note in.
Dear John and Adam, short note to confirm my donation.
Happy to donate in proper valuation what the show brings me every other Thursday or Sunday, whatever.
Celebrating our 30th anniversary on May 10th.
So no better moment I found a local restauranteur is able to prepare a four-course meal to take away so at least we can celebrate in style.
Getting back to the last show's brainstorm on how to name the monitoring.
Another one.
Random number again, two in a row.
Why not go for Social Security?
It makes it all the more easy not to only use your phone and also attach a special reward system.
You are well meets brave new world.
Okay.
But it's really Orwell.
Rubble eyes are out.
Okay.
Rebelizer out.
No, it's Orwell meets Brave New World, I'm sure.
It says Q. I don't know why.
But maybe it's a plan with a Q. I was wondering what your thoughts were about the latest developments in the case of Michael Flynn.
And I have a Michael Flynn clip.
Yeah, I have Michael Flynn stuff, too.
We've got lots to talk about.
Well, I have.
Did you get the supercut?
No, I didn't get the supercut.
That's great.
I got the supercut.
It's coming up.
Coming up.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
Are you sure you'd like this message?
No.
I got a big thing popped up and wanted to reset my machine.
No!
Thank you, Bill Gates.
Dr.
Bill.
Something that triggered me when I was listening to the RFK clips was that the coincidences Kennedy family and specifically the RFK branch suffered a loss recently when Mev Kennedy drowned while kayaking.
Mev, as you may know, was the public health official working for the USDS Global AIDS Program.
What about coincidences one would think?
On another note, here in the Eurozone, the erosion continues now with the red judges of Karl Sewell laying an IED for the ECB stimulus program and the European court almost instantly replying that the German constitutional court lacks the legal power to judge on the European institution's role, completely ignoring the German federal constitution that specifically defines the role of the constitution vis-a-vis international treaties.
They really don't give a crap.
One thing is certain, the longer the Rona crisis lingers, the better the odds are for EU implosion.
In the meantime, I'm now wearing a hipster ponytail as hairdressers are still shut and I already need to get a haircut three months ago.
If this is the worst of this lockdown, I'll take it.
In reality, the power grab of our civil liberties is without precedent and I'm wondering how long the obedience will last, even in the sheeple, will eventually wake up, or so I hope, for jingles.
Oh, and we have jingles.
Yes.
Uh-huh.
A 33 and playing karma with some Jordan Peterson.
With kind regards, all the best to all the producers from Gitmo Nation plus 31.
Now, what...
Oh, no.
I understand the 33, but then what did he say?
Karma.
Playing karma.
No goat.
Yeah.
With some Jordan Peterson.
I don't know what Jordan Peterson we have.
It's wrong!
We do have...
Don't we have an ISO, a Peterson...
I think you're saying, it's wrong!
This is good.
Okay, let me see.
It's wrong.
I wasn't prepared for this.
Or wrong, just wrong.
Do you know how many clips we have where it's wrong is in the title?
Just anything.
Just type in Peterson and play it.
Okay, and then the 33 thing...
You know, you don't take that very seriously, do you?
Just type it in and play it.
What are you, working for the government?
That's the way you make it sound.
Be quiet.
That's the magic number.
You always do.
Be quiet.
It's the magic number.
That's wrong.
Nailed it.
You've got karma.
You're like Scotty.
Sir Colin the Friendly Fat Man is our first associate executive producer.
$250.
He's in Ohio.
Sir Colin the Friendly Fat Man checking in from Cincinnati.
Normally my six siblings and I would get my mother some combination of flowers, chocolates, or whatever.
But we figured what better way to say thanks to mom with a no-agenda producership.
So, Happy Mother's Day to Colleen from Corey, Stephen, Caitlin, Colin, Connor, Sean, and Aiden.
You have been a shining example to all of us and have made us who we are.
Thank you for all the sacrifices and hardships you had to put up with throughout the years.
Happy Mother's Day also to my sisters, Corey and Caitlin, as well as our sister-in-law, Kate.
We need a de-douching for those siblings who have never donated before.
And, well, first I'll do the de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
There you go, sibs.
Siblings are clean.
They're cleansed.
But we also need to call out Tim as a douchebag.
Dealer's Choice, Sharpton, and MyCorona.
Thank you both for all you do to keep us folks in flyover country sane.
The whole family enjoys your coverage, and you have become a staple topic of conversation at our regular family dinners.
Also, Mom, I hope one day you can forgive me for ruining the hamburgers.
And that is from Sir Colin the Friendly Fat Man.
We thank you for your courage, sir.
Here's the president meeting with a cola cube.
You've got karma.
.
you you you Wow.
Jason Perry.
Jason Perry in East Petersburg, Pennsylvania, 250.
Couldn't figure out how to get my message on the donation, but here it is.
Okay, let's contemplate what he just said there.
Okay.
Couldn't figure out how to get my message on my donation, but here it is.
Well, he did it.
He couldn't figure it out.
He's just letting you know he had some trouble, but it worked out.
I've been a listener for five years, stumbled upon this back by luck when searching for podcasts, and never donated.
Supposedly that means dedouching.
Yes, indeed.
You're welcome.
You've been dedouched.
How many people we found just through that mechanism?
Through what?
Probably not a lot.
Through which mechanism?
Your podcast keeps my amygdala shrunken.
Please keep up the good work and deep dive into the lies the M5M propagates.
Please call out my brother-in-law, Bob Raymond Lowe, as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Several times they hit him in the mouth, even though he was definitely a no...
Even though he's already a no-agenda listener, I guess.
Please play, listen to that horn, Trump aroused.
Look at that juice.
Don't eat me, Bo-Giden.
And karma.
Of course!
Have we mentioned how sick you people are?
And we love you for it.
Oh my god!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
Don't eat me, Bo-Dad, and you're scary!
So scary!
He thought karma.
Sec!
Sec!
I'm going to ban that combination.
Vincent in Latana, Texas.
Oh, we forgot Ed Laboutier.
Ed Laboutier!
250 bucks.
He just says, keep up the good work.
You can take the next one.
Hey, Ed Laboutier.
We love you, man.
Thank you.
Yes, we have Vincent from Lantana, Texas.
23456.
Great number combo.
Hey, guys, we love the show.
Appreciate the bi-weekly dose of M5M antibodies.
We were punched in the mouth when Adam was on the Joe Rogan Experience and have been listening to you ever since.
There it is, John.
Proof.
We got a listener.
From the Rogan Experience.
Yeah, we have to get another one.
I would like to split this donation, 201.23, for Sinead, the mother of my beautiful daughter, who is also my smokin' hot wife.
I will not say Happy Mother's Day, since she is a wonderful and appreciated mother every day, and she doesn't care for the hallmark holidays.
Sounds like no agenda material to me.
The rest of the donation, 3333, is for myself, so that now we can both be deduced.
You've been de-douched.
Thank you for keeping us sane through this plandemic, and if possible, can we get China is asshole, and what else did he want?
And that's true, we're all going to die in karma.
So I just have to line them up for a second.
So China, and then...
Sorry, I'm spacing today.
That's true, we're all going to die.
Oh my goodness.
How the hell am I going to keep it all straight?
Donald Trump don't trust China!
China is asshole!
That's true.
We're all gonna die!
There it is.
You've got karma.
Thank you.
Welcome, you too.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad you're here.
Sarah Gonzalez in Houston, Texas, 23333.
And she writes in, Very good.
Being slaves to those with hidden agendas.
My kids were the ones who we hit in the mouth in the car on the way to New Orleans.
And though I still occasionally get a complaint about little girl, get a complaint about little kids.
Yay.
Yeah.
My eight-year-old clearly sees the calm perspective of that no agenda has brought to our household amid the paranoid germophobia and is constantly singing your praises.
Excellent!
Yes.
That kid's great.
Yeah, Bruce's profile.
We've got a Bruce's profile.
We definitely have a dame in the making on our hands.
Oh, it's a her.
Oh, great.
The eight-year-old's a girl.
Okay, good.
Because there's a game in the making.
We really appreciate what you two do.
I'm happy to let you know that I'm spending Mother's Day brunch at one of my favorite restaurants.
I've never been so happy to live in Texas.
There you have it.
Which one is it?
Which restaurant is it?
No, she didn't say.
The reopening of business, you should plug it.
The reopening of business, name the child.
Name the child in the restaurant.
The reopening of the businesses feels painfully slow, but at least it's happening on a little act of rebellion.
It was tearing down the caution tape surrounding the playground in the park near our house a few days ago, because even though the parks are open, the playgrounds are still closed.
Oh, brother.
We wouldn't want our kids to have too much fun.
Oh, no.
We're thankful not to get arrested or have a video of our crime posted on Next Door by some creep.
Curtain Wrangler.
Curtain Wrangler.
And be happy to see a few, because they saw, they'd be seeing a few kids playing on the playground.
Can't have that!
So when we return today, thanks to our efforts, anyway, should we return today?
She wraps it up.
Please play orange for my smoking hot husband who loves to yell this.
Okay.
And send out lots of jobs, Carmen, to all those producers who are hurting right now and maybe a screaming goat to finish it off.
Best wishes, gentlemen.
Keep up the great work.
Sarah Gonzalez in Houston.
A mom after our own hearts, Sarah Gonzalez.
Thank you for your courage, Sarah.
All right!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got...
Nicholas Vasquez checks in from Cincinnati, Ohio, 23333.
This is my first donation, so I request a much-needed dedouchation.
You've been dedouched.
I was hit in the mouth of my future brother-in-law about six months ago, and I was called out on episode 1217, so time to donate.
Your content and media deconstruction are just what the doctor ordered, and the treatment has successfully shrunk my amygdala.
I'd like to request some small business karma for my smoking hot fiancé.
We created a virtual fitness website during the extra quarantine time, and we're using the value for value model.
Oh, I hope that works.
Let me know.
Fitness has been the big boom during...
You cannot buy any fitness equipment.
You can't buy a weight, a rubber band, a ball.
Yeah, fitness and bread making.
Bread making is another one.
It's exactly right.
Yeah, all the millennials are making bread.
Thanks for the inspiration.
It has worked great so far.
If any slaves need to get off the couch and break a sweat, give it a try.
And there's a website there.
It's NickFit2.
Oh my goodness.
I'm going to put that in the show notes and I'll put it under...
Actually, let me just mark this and make sure I do this.
I will put it next to your donation, so you know that.
Thank you for your courage.
Jingles, little glory, yay!
And there's a small business karma, so thank you for your courage, indeed.
And welcome to the party!
Yay!
You've got karma.
Daniel Galloway from Marietta, Georgia comes in with $229.
There's no note that I can find looking under the subject line Donation or Daniel or Galloway.
Let me just check real quick.
I don't think I saw either.
Squirrel Man.
No, I don't have anything.
Sorry.
I have nothing from him.
Nothing.
Let's go on with Adrian...
Drink-on.
What?
Drink-on.
Sounds right.
Yeah, in Calverton, New York.
$205.
She's a drunk hen.
In 10 cents.
Happy first Mother's Day to me, and happy birthday to me and my daughter, Violet.
Oh, man.
My husband and I love...
Violet's a popular name for kids for some reason, a little moment here.
Yeah?
My husband and I love the show and listen as a family.
We could love a goat karma if possible.
My awesome husband, Joe, thinks it's hilarious.
Cheers, Dame Adrian.
P.S. I hope Tina the Keeper and Mimi...
Have a great Mother's Day.
Well, that's nice.
Thank you.
Yeah, that is nice.
And yet, the Keeper's gotten calls and nice things and all that.
And how about Mimi?
Is she with you or is she up at the Annex?
She is traveling at the moment.
Oh, that's...
Unnecessarily traveling.
I'm going to wrangle my curtains and call the cops.
Narc on that woman!
This is not acceptable!
Yes, we have a goat karma for you.
Absolutely love that you listen as a family.
Happy Mother's Day, Adrienne.
First time for everything.
Enjoy.
You've got karma.
Barbara Ponwitz is in Norwood, Pennsylvania.
We just talked about Pennsylvania.
And she says, Dear Adam and John, thanks for all you do.
I think I'm slowly hitting my husband in the mouth.
or he just encourages me because I enjoy the show so much.
Either way, please give my mother-in-law a cancer karma for Mother's Day.
That would be an F cancer karma, of course.
I'd also appreciate jobs karma for everybody.
And last but not least, special goat karma for my boss and friend, Tom.
He's a long time listener and regularly donates.
Would you also please play some Sharpton for my husband, Eric, whose birthday is this Tuesday.
This would crack him up.
Thanks again, Barbara Ponwitz.
And that's, interestingly, that's Eric spelled like our own shill.
A-R-I-C. And by the way, do you have the birthday list out?
I do now.
Who's on the list?
Did Eric put his wife on there?
Danelle?
That guy is unbelievable.
Mackie?
No.
Oh my gosh.
Danelle Mackey, when is her birthday?
Today?
No, it was...
I think it was Wednesday.
Okay.
And we don't know an age, right?
Of course.
She's 19.
He's married young.
Exactly.
We know how to keep the peace in the Dvorak clan.
She's 19.
Well, she looks 19 anyway.
Yeah, illegal.
Yeah, so we do have some Sharpton for you, quick Sharpton, and you also wanted the F cancer and the jobs karma.
Got it all for you right here.
Sigonoy Weaver.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yeah!
You've got karma.
That should blow it away.
That'll take care of it.
And last but not least, on this very generous Mother's Day show, Anonymous, $200.02.
He's got a couple of jingles on there.
Atlas Shrug logo, yay.
ITM gents, please keep me anonymous.
I started listening during the election run-up of 2016 and haven't missed an episode since.
As a staunch libertarian emphasis on the small L, I was overjoyed to find your podcast using the Value for Value system.
While I had donated previously, this is my first associate executive producership.
The show is most certainly the best podcast in the universe.
I was further encouraged by Elon Musk's remark on Rogan about Corona, as he echoed much of what you two have been deconstructing in the past two months.
Thanks for the show notes.
They certainly help with grad school.
I bet they do.
A big Mother's Day shout-out to my mama, Kim, in South Jersey.
I love you, Mom.
She listens regularly.
And hopefully this proves that No Agenda producers love their moms.
$50 of this was for her damehood and two cents for the penny jar.
Oops.
There's one and there's the other.
These are the old pennies.
Real copper.
It's not that crazy new stuff.
And we need Atlas Shrugged a yay and a karma, and we're good to go.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Yay!
You've got karma.
Woo!
Wow!
There's love in the room for the moms, that's for sure.
Love in the room.
Love in the room.
Well, everybody, thank you to these executive producers and associate executive producers.
You can proudly display that as your credit for episode 1,241 of the best podcast in the universe.
And know that you have not only made a lot of moms happy, we've upped our quota of dames.
Very excited about the ceremony later.
But also, you've kept this show going successfully throughout.
We've now witnessed everything together.
We've been through a lot.
We've been through a lot of things.
But now, also this, I'm very proud of what we're doing.
Very proud of the support today.
And look forward to everybody showing up again on Thursday, which you can find out more about at our donation webpage.
And once again, you're up to speed on all things Rona.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
All right!
Shut up, Slade!
Shut up, Slade!
Right-o!
Thank you.
So I got this clip, it was for the last show, and I just wanted to play it because it's just kind of stand-alone.
And I want somebody in Australia to tell me who this woman is.
She's like a Katie Hopkins of Australia.
And so she kind of rails.
This is only 31 seconds of something that went for a couple of minutes because she just kept laying into Joe Biden.
And she's in Australia, which I find amusing.
But let's play this.
The clip is called Femake.
Isn't it just perfect that the party of diversity has got rid of every woman and person of colour, including the fake Native American Elizabeth Pocahontas Warren and the fake Mexican Beto O'Rourke, to end up with two old white millionaire men.
One, a socialist who had a heart attack just five months ago, and one so confused that he has trouble remembering where he is and why he's there.
Joe Biden is now the frontrunner to be the Democrats' presidential candidate.
Yeah, so...
I just thought it was a bit well presented.
It is pretty funny.
By the way, I do have some ISOs I want to pitch right now.
Oh, yes, good.
We need to pitch.
Pitch it away.
Okay, so let's start with the one which is the wimpy...
Right.
And this is wrong ISO. Wrong ISO for end of show.
Wrong.
Okay.
Noted.
Yep.
Here's one.
Done more.
Oops.
Hold on a second.
My oxygen cord disconnected, John.
Hold on.
I got to plug it back.
I told you to stop doing the thing from underwater.
Hold on.
Yeah, okay, I'm back.
I unplugged the cord and lost all oxygen.
Alright, done more.
We could have done more.
We could have done more.
Play that one again.
We could have done more.
I like it, but...
We could have done more.
Yeah, that's actually not bad.
I think it's a little more exciting than...
Wrong.
Well, now that I hear it...
Wrong.
That's not bad.
It's a good wrong.
Okay, it's a very...
It's a righteous wrong.
Yeah, but I like the done more because he's in tears.
And do you have any more?
Yeah, disgruntled.
I am not disgruntled.
No, I think...
Wrong.
I think righteous wrong is a contender.
Okay, well...
I'm surprised by wrong.
I'm surprised.
It's a righteous wrong.
I like it.
But we're not, you know, we're not done until we're done.
So let's, you want to go over some international COVID? Yeah, I would like to.
While you're organizing your next bit.
I would like to do, I got no bits, man.
I just show up well prepared.
Let's start with, I have the Italy, Russia, but let's do USA COVID update about the reopenings.
State by state, the country is beginning to face the reality of a slow recovery ahead from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Companies are considering ways to bring workers back, but the unemployment rate is staggering.
Whether you are here in New York, where there is still a strict lockdown order, or in an area reopening, this is a challenging time.
Let's get started with today's top news.
Cases of COVID-19 continue to slow in most of the country.
Feels good after two months.
There were more reopenings of barbershops, salons, restaurants, and public spaces, but the rules differ state by state.
In New York, where a lockdown remains for much of the state, Governor Andrew Cuomo said hospitalizations, new cases, and deaths from the virus dropped again today.
But Cuomo said three children have died from a new syndrome associated with COVID-19, and there are 73 reported cases.
It's more an inflammation of the blood vessels, which can then cause problems with their heart.
Cuomo said parents need to be vigilant while New York health officials work with the CDC to investigate this new syndrome.
Nationwide, there have now been more than 77,000 deaths from COVID-19 and more than 1.2 million confirmed cases.
Also today, after reports that the Trump administration shelved guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on how to reopen the country, the White House issued a statement from the director of the CDC, Robert Redfield, that said the plan, quote, was in draft form and had not been vetted.
I mean, seriously, I'd rather have COVID-19 than listen to that report again.
That was bad.
That was uninspiring.
It was not as bad as his lighting.
Was he at home?
Yeah.
And he was not only at home, but they light him.
Somebody doesn't like him.
You know, because the lighting guys are the guys that can make you look good or make you look horrible.
He looks like Boris Karloff playing Frankenstein.
Wow.
Okay.
Harsh.
It's very harsh.
Okay, let's go to Italy and see what's going on.
Just Italy?
There's COVID, Italy, and it's also South Korea.
In Italy, once the center of the global pandemic, the lockdown is starting to ease.
Many bars in Rome were open today for takeaway drinks, but officials warn that social distancing must be maintained to prevent a resurgence in coronavirus cases.
In South Korea, the mayor of Seoul closed more than 2,000 nightclubs just one week after they were reopened.
Dozens of new coronavirus cases were connected to people who attended clubs last week.
Hmm.
Not much going on there, so that was pretty dull, you're right.
Yeah.
So let's go and take a look at, this is the COVID in Russia and comparing Russia to Belarus.
Let's look at what's happening internationally.
Russia, like most countries, has scaled back its celebrations to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe because of the virus pandemic.
But in neighboring Belarus, one of the only countries yet to impose any social distancing measures, thousands have gathered to mark the 75th anniversary.
From Moscow, Sky's Dana Magne has this report.
Even Russia has postponed this year's Victory Day parade, but its smaller neighbor to the west, Belarus, has not, despite more than 20,000 COVID cases.
The veterans were encouraged not to come.
Others incentivized to fill seats.
Good grades promised to students, for example, at a time when many in Belarus don't trust their president on this pandemic.
The official count is of 116 deaths.
The freshly dug graves at this cemetery in the small city of Stoltzby suggests it's far more.
This reporter for Russia's Channel One was expelled from Belarus, and his team stripped of their accreditations after this report, which suggested that even locals don't believe the numbers.
This woman telling him her mother had had COVID, but that the official cause of death was heart failure.
The picture inside hospitals, even in the capital, is grim.
Every piece of space is used up here.
And there's that ubiquitous COVID cough.
Yeah.
Where the state is failing, volunteers are stepping in.
The ubiquitous COVID cough.
Has that been identified as a specific type of cough?
Yeah.
Well, that's what J.C., when he had COVID. And...
He survived it easily enough, but he ended up with that COVID cough.
And that lasts a while?
It didn't last as long.
You know how sometimes you get the cold or something, you get this cough that never goes away, go last and last and last.
I think Horowitz had it for like three, four shows.
In like a month, he had this cough, this terrible cough.
The COVID cough, which is really horrible to hear it.
It's horrible to hear it.
I mean, it's just a cringe.
It didn't last long at all.
Which is good.
Believe me.
No, that is good.
That is good.
Let me see if we can find an example of this COVID cough.
It sounds like somebody's coughing and then you hear a goose honking.
Let's see.
Here we have a couple of examples.
This is...
Does this sound like you on YouTube?
That may be exactly what we're looking for.
Let's see.
Why don't I hear anything?
Is that it?
No, not really.
No, you're faking me out.
No, it kicks into a higher gear.
There's a very specific thing it does that is, like, really frightening to hear it.
The COVID cough.
Yuck.
I got an email which may fit into a good topic for us today, and I want to reiterate that this show, John and I come to each show.
We don't talk to each other in between shows, rarely.
Maybe an email or something.
Typically, John's sending me some chick on YouTube who's, hey, guys.
Oh, whatever.
That's usually what I get from John.
So we show up and I have my stuff.
He has his stuff.
And I received an email that I wanted to respond to.
I thought that it would be appropriate.
And I see that you've got some clips to talk about.
This is from Roland.
He's from Germany.
German producer.
In the morning, gents, I'm not sure how voting works.
But in Germany, it's like this.
You get a postcard with your name on it.
The city knows where you live, as you have to register when you move to it.
It tells you when and where you can go and vote.
Historically, it's been on Sundays between 8 a.m., 6 p.m.
If you're out of town and you can't make it to the voting place, usually a school or kindergarten in your neighborhood can send you the postcard back at no charge, and you can ask for a vote-by-mail papers, which you then get and send back in time.
Done!
Well, now this apparently isn't much of a thing in the U.S., What is wrong?
What is the problem?
Why are you all so jacked up about it?
Some analysis would be helpful, especially to the international listeners.
I think that's an appropriate question, Roland.
Well, I have two clips on this.
Bingo, boom.
First of all, you can vote by mail in some states.
In fact, it's all you do.
There's not even this process that you're talking about.
Washington State, for example, is a 100% vote by mail.
There's a lot of people that believe that it invites fraud.
Allow me to explain, as I understand the fraud part of it in the United States, and this is why it's an issue.
I hate to say it, but our voting public is pretty dumb.
So when someone knocks on your door and says, hey, did you get your mail-in voting ballot?
You say, I don't know, man, it's around here somewhere.
Well, listen, why don't you just, you know, I'll take care of it.
I'll hand it in.
Just, what do you want to be, Democrat, right?
Okay, we just write this down and I'll mail it for you.
You don't have to worry about it.
It's called harvesting.
And sometimes they'll get ballots that are just empty, and they'll fill it in for them.
And this is, I think it was Orange County, or Calabasas, somewhere in California, where they followed these people and showed how they do it.
And it's not just the U.S., but harvesting is a real issue.
And also, I think it's just lame.
As a citizen, you go into the booth and you kick the lever.
And you go there, you stand in line with everybody grousing about it.
It's part of it.
You should show your ID, by the way.
Well, no, that's a different...
Well, in Texas...
Heaven forbid!
Yeah, in Texas you have to show your ID. Well, here's a question.
Here's an example.
This is what you have to deal with.
This is on PBS again.
And they're having this problem in Connecticut because Connecticut, you can do an absentee ballot, but it's a very complicated process.
And the problem with Connecticut is what the story is about mostly, is that the Connecticut Constitution says you have to show up.
Yes.
So it's not like Washington State, it's like it's designed, the system's designed for vote by mail.
And by the way, it's funny how the harvesters do such a good job, they tend to get a state loaded with Democrats.
I'm not going to just accuse the Democrats, but when you hear reports like this, here's the vote by mail fraud question that was asked on the PBS amongst some people that are discussing how to do this in Connecticut.
Right.
With just six months until November's presidential election, states across the country are trying to determine how they will safely collect and count ballots during a national health emergency.
For many states, that means reevaluating in-person versus absentee voting.
Just yesterday, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the entire state would be asked to vote by mail in the November election.
But for states like Connecticut, with a long history of in-person voting, the push to vote by mail remains a complicated task.
NewsHour Weekend's Christopher Booker has more.
Well y'all, they told me I'm in the wrong place.
The scenes from Wisconsin's recent election did not sit well with Connecticut's Secretary of State, Denise Merrill.
That was a turning point in my discussions with both the legislative leadership and the governor.
Nobody wants to look like Milwaukee, frankly.
And that can happen pretty easily.
After Democratic Governor Tony Evers' executive order that delayed the state's election by two months was overturned by the Supreme Court, Wisconsin voters had to go to polling places if they wanted to cast a ballot.
Fifty-two people who worked the polls or voted on April 7th have tested positive for COVID-19, a situation Meryl does not want to duplicate in her state.
You know, people are just waking up to the fact that they may be asked to vote either in a primary or particularly in the general election is their concern and jeopardize their health.
And I think the Milwaukee situation really galvanized people because it was all over television and people were home watching it.
But hoping to minimize in-person voting in Connecticut will not be an easy task.
With voting laws dating back to the state's 1818 Constitution, the rules to vote absentee, or by mail, in the state nicknamed the Constitution State are restrictive.
Yeah, that's a decent overview.
Well, that's a decent overview.
It was the wrong clip.
It's the one you told me to play.
Vote by mail fraud question.
Oh, it was the wrong clip.
But that's a better clip for the intro to this clip.
I should have actually played that clip first, so you accidentally did the right thing.
Voter fraud is a major talking point for those against expanding vote-by-mail.
On April 8th, President Trump tweeted that Republicans should fight very hard when it comes to statewide mail-in voting.
Democrats are clamoring for it.
Tremendous potential for voter fraud.
And for whatever reason, doesn't work out well for Republicans.
Voter fraud comes up quite often.
Have you seen rampant voter fraud in Connecticut?
Oh, absolutely not.
I mean, for people to complain about absentee ballot fraud in Connecticut is really kind of ridiculous because we have so many processes in place.
First, you have to mail the application to people.
They have to fill it out, mail it back to the clerk.
The clerk then mails the ballot to the person.
Which is in a double envelope.
You have to put it in an inside envelope and then in an outside envelope to protect their anonymity.
And then you mail it back to the clerk.
And during all this process, the clerk has to note every step of the way in our electronic voter registry.
Secretary Merrill says there's little evidence that there is widespread voter fraud in Connecticut.
Can you point to specific instances of voter fraud in Connecticut?
I don't have them on me, but we deal with these every year.
We end up having a lot of kind of quirky election issues that I don't particularly find coincidental, but it's something we need to address.
The critics of Expanded Vote by Mail often cite voter fraud.
Is there evidence that when you increase the access to vote by mail, fraud increases?
None.
None.
There's no evidence.
None.
Whatsoever.
Nowhere.
It does not exist.
Oh, I'm poorly informed then.
Yeah, you don't know what you're talking about.
I need to shut up.
Because she said right there, that Democrat woman.
She said, no, it doesn't exist.
Never happened.
It never happens.
It never happens.
I don't know what you're talking about.
There's no way.
Just because you walk into the, like, for example, here at the House, I walk in.
The mail's been there.
There's two or three ballots sitting there.
I could pick any one of them up, type a bunch of stuff on it, put stuff on it, sign somebody's phony name, send it in.
I could do that.
Anyone could do it.
Somebody, they lose some mail.
Somebody steals it from a post office box.
I mean, that's just minor.
But the harvesting, which you pointed out, which has always been the big threat...
And the joke of it is the Democrats always hated much of this because it would be – well, I mean the Republicans used to hate this for the reasons that the Democrats used to like it, which is in the Deep South back in the 50s and 60s.
They would just – The Democrats would steal all the black votes.
Just rouse the black votes.
They'd just steal them.
They'd steal the black vote.
Or they'd buy a vote.
There's another way of doing it for harvesting.
You go door to door and say, I'll give you five bucks for your ballot.
Is that illegal?
Of course it's illegal.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's illegal.
Is it illegal to say to someone, here's five bucks, write down your vote right now?
That's not illegal.
Well, probably not.
Isn't that exactly what politics is?
I'm going to give you this for your vote?
Isn't that politics?
Well, there's that element.
But anyway, so it's asking for trouble.
Oh, well, there's that.
But this woman, when I heard that clip, where at the very end of that clip she goes, oh, no!
No!
Then I know something's up.
How do we usually put that?
Somewhere we had a thing about that that we could see.
Oh, yeah, that's not it.
Where is it?
I don't know.
We had nothing to see here.
I've lost so many.
I'm losing my touch.
You are.
It's the eyeball.
Nothing.
It's not completely healed, I'll give you that, but it's not that bad.
Don't look over here.
Nothing to see here.
Ooh, look at that!
There we go.
Buttons, buttons, buttons.
We haven't played that for a long time.
I know, that's why I couldn't find it.
It's been replaced by...
Orange!
That's what happens.
Orange.
So, what is taking place now is we have this political fight, which Trump is tweeting about a lot, so I guess he's worried, is...
The House is looking to make legislation, and I guess you can do it by state even, to vote by mail because, oh, coronavirus would be too dangerous for people to show up and vote.
Well, wait a minute.
Is it too dangerous for them to show up at the grocery store and stand in line?
Is it too dangerous to go to the hair cutter?
I mean, why is this more dangerous than these other things that people do constantly?
If there's a shop that says hair cutter, I'm not going.
That's a dangerous shop.
If it says quaffs, that's a different story.
So there is a lot going on in the political...
In fact, pretty much all of it is now political.
And I have been enjoying these transcripts from the...
Is it the House Intelligence Oversight Committee?
These 53 transcripts that have been released?
Yeah, I have a clip of Kaylee, our friend Kaylee.
Yeah.
Slamming Yamiche.
Yamiche.
Yamiche.
Oh no.
By reading from these transcripts and saying how great it was that they were released.
Now let's just go over this before we play Kaylee and Yamiche.
Now, has Flynn been exonerated, or is that just Barr saying it has to happen, the judge hasn't done it yet?
Has he actually dropped all charges?
As far as I know, he's been exonerated.
He's exonerated, dropped all charges.
No, I take it back.
You've got to use this right, because you'll get jumped on by all these guys that are going to write you a note.
It's not exoneration when the case is dismissed.
Right, it's dismissed.
And what is interesting about the dismissal is that it comes from now overwhelming evidence from the FBI's own files that they were railroading Flynn.
Yeah.
Truly railroading him.
Like assholes.
Like real thugs.
Really not okay stuff.
It's one of these old Russian things, like Barry I used to do.
You know, he said, show me a man, I'll find you a crime.
Right.
And it's a very old Stalinistic idea.
It's a way to do it.
And that's what they were doing.
And Obama was behind it.
Well, this is what's interesting.
So now we have, all of a sudden, we have 53 transcripts declassified of all of these players.
And this is the hours and hours and hours of testimony.
It's very interesting.
I was interested in Brad Parscale, the guy who is now the campaign manager for 2020.
The guy was just a web dude in Texas, in San Antonio, who did, you know, like the wineries, did a one-pager website for Ivanka's thing, whatever.
And they said, well, 2015, exploratory, throw up a page for Canada Trump, see how it looks.
And it just grew from there, and the guy just turned out to be really smart.
He's never done any political campaigns, anything like that.
And he just used...
In fact, he did everything that the political consultants in Washington, D.C., what they advised.
He did the opposite.
He did all kinds of different innovative things.
And it's really interesting to read his story.
Now, there's not much in the way...
I mean, every five...
So, while you were selecting vendors for the website, did any of them...
Possibly have ties to Russia?
I'm not kidding!
Every question is like that.
So, did they speak with an accent?
I mean, this is the kind of stuff that was going on.
And this has worried a lot of people.
And the main...
Here's what's interesting.
If Flynn...
The case is dropped...
And what he was accused of was lying to the FBI. And now it turns out he was lying to the FBI because the FBI said, you better lie or we're going to lock your kid up.
And the lie was a very minute detail of a phone conversation he had had with the Russian ambassador, Kislyak.
And the feds, when they were interviewing, which I believe include Peter Strzok, they had already heard the call.
They knew the answers to the questions they were asking.
And, of course, he answered something wrong, or said, I don't remember that, or I didn't have this time.
And then they said, well, you're going to have to plead guilty here, otherwise we're going to get your kid, and he has a kid on the way.
And it's really ugly.
Really, it's like J. Edgar Hoover-type style ugly.
And...
The...
President Obama...
All of a sudden has some coincidentally leaked audio that comes out.
In fact, I have a little news report about it.
Because I think what's happening is I believe Obama, as you pointed out, Obama is implicated in this thing.
It goes all the way up to him and he's striking back.
But interesting way he's doing it.
Former President Obama discussed the Michael Flynn case during a phone call with some former Obama administration officials and then portions of the audio of that call were leaked to Yahoo News.
Flynn, you may remember, pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his communications with the Russia ambassador.
The Justice Department announced Thursday it plans to drop the case against the former national security advisor.
Obama says he was shocked by the move.
That's the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that basic, not just institutional norms, but our basic understanding of rule of law but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk.
President Trump praised the Justice Department's decision.
He also praised Flynn, calling him an innocent man.
The White House says it believes the FBI was trying to target and trap Flynn over his comments.
Not surprisingly, reaction up on Capitol Hill has been split.
I don't like this report.
I think it's full of crap.
They also left stuff out.
Here's the actual leaked call, and there's something that Obama said here, which is factually incorrect, and I'm waiting for the news media to let us know about that.
The news...
Over the last 24 hours, I think has been somewhat downplayed about the Justice Department dropping charges against Michael Flynn.
And the fact that there is no precedent that anybody can find for someone who's been charged with perjury just getting off scot-free.
Interestingly, he wasn't charged with perjury.
That's just not true.
No, he didn't take an oath.
Perjury is very specific.
So why did Obama say that?
Why is he making a big deal out of, well, this has never happened before!
A guy perjured himself!
No, I think Obama's a little where?
A little afraid?
He's getting a little hot under the feet?
Yeah, it sounds...
Do you think maybe Obama knew this was being recorded?
Oh, absolutely!
And it was another piece of disinformation you could throw into the pot, this perjury nonsense.
Totally possible.
Try to see if anyone picks up on perjury.
See if it flies.
Yeah, interesting.
Well, that shows he's very...
When Obama has to step in and do this kind of crap, he's worried.
Yeah, or something.
That's very strange.
Well, I do have the super clips.
This was...
This is about Flynn.
And this is a bunch of clips that came right after Flynn was first arrested, indicted, whatever you want to call it, the advertising.
And all the media was...
And Trump knew this was a setup.
He bitched about it.
He said Flynn shouldn't have been arrested.
He's a great patriot and on and on.
And the White House and the right, the conservatives, all knew something was fishy about this whole thing.
And meanwhile, MSNBC and CNN and all the rest of the news media, they had their thoughts about it and they were mocking everybody.
President Trump and his top aides have been routinely ignoring the truth and pushing phony conspiracy theories.
The president seems to be saying that this was a case of entrapment, that Michael Flynn was essentially pressured into lying.
What is your response?
I think that's hogwash.
You know, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories about how he was entrapped.
The FBI agents didn't do anything wrong here, so I think that's important because there are a lot of sort of conspiracy theories.
They all work together and, you know, the Fox News people in the White House fuel these sort of rumors.
Do they send these around with fax machines?
They come up with these conspiracy theories and they send them around with fax machines.
They should just knock it off and realize that their ridiculous conspiracy theories are going to be knocked down.
Stop.
Stop with the conspiracy theories.
So I think that loud sound you heard at about 1230 Eastern was the sound of 10,000 conspiracy theories by the Trump defenders exploding.
The sound you hear is a million conspiracy theories exploding.
I could call them the trumpets all over the country.
Their heads were blown up.
No!
Here's another conspiracy theory that has been blown to bits.
Trump talking points and right-wing media conspiracies demolished.
Poor Michael Flynn.
He was duped.
It's so embarrassing.
You know, when you push all your chips to the middle of the table, you better be damn sure you got a good hand.
The FBI broke standard protocol in the way that they came in and ambushed General Flynn.
She knew better.
Wrong.
Yeah.
No one cares what they said two days ago.
We know they're all wrong.
Who cares?
It's like, fine.
I think they're losing so much ground in the mainstream.
Just people don't care.
That's why people are out and about.
They're not listening to your fear anymore.
They're done with you.
They're done.
There's a lot of people that are sitting in there, you know, curtain wranglers.
Yeah, but they live in California.
I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda.
In the morning.
There's definitely a lot in California, but they're not all in California.
All.
All of them.
And the people that we have to thank aren't all in California, but the first one is...
They're all there!
Sir Hey Idiot.
In Concord, California.
Uh, comes in with 160 bucks.
He does have a note.
I'm also credit, sir.
Hey, idiot.
This is a continuation of my Animated No Agenda $10 per episode pledge of support.
Sir Alan Bowes is next, and he's in Langley, B.C., 13788.
Congratulations to Sir Jim Watts on claiming part of the overwhelming barony of B.C., And he goes on to say, now we just need someone to claim Vancouver Island.
The Caribou, yes.
Sir Austin, Baron of the Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington, 125.
That was 137.88 for Sir Ellen Bowes.
Dame Laura of the Snowy Cascades.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I just have to say, Happy Mother's Day to Dame Laura of the Snowy Cascades.
And then she comes in...
Right after that.
Team Laura of the Story Cascades comes in with the same amount of money, $125.
We should actually move the two of us to associate executive producer.
Done.
Done.
She says, happy birthday to my best guy ever, my husband, Sir Austin.
Aww.
Baron of the Puget Sound.
Yes, no, you two are going to be joined at the hip and moved to associate executive producership.
You can use it on your LinkedIn.
Call us Quimbey, $111.11.
He needs a de-douching.
Okay.
You've been de-douched.
Brian Hedlum, or Hedlum, Hedlum, in Elk Grove, California, $106.61, and he's going to become knighted.
Yes.
And he does have...
I'll read this here.
Adam, if you do the honors of chipping in a penny, I will reach knighthood.
Well, consider that done.
What a long, strange trip it's been.
I was driving west through Utah at five in the morning as the sun rose over the Salt Lakes, and I was flooded with gratefulness for all that you do.
I pulled over at the nearest rest stop and sent the donation that pushed me over to knighthood.
Wow.
A few years ago, my amygdala was on the brink of exploding while I was studying at Berkeley during the Trump-Hillary debates.
Wow!
And you're alive, man!
Then John and Adam swooped in to save the day!
Shout out to Nick McNeil, who turned me on to you guys after listening to a few episodes back on a long road trip.
I was hooked.
I've been a loyal listener ever.
I would like to be knighted as Sir Ryan, the roamer of many lands.
At the round table, may I please have some lavender blossom CBD rub and coconut LaCroix.
I'm honored to be a member of this prestigious group.
Please call my dad, Kyle, out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
He's normally working in the garage or going out fishing, so maybe say his name a few times to get his attention.
Dad, Kyle, stop being a douchebag!
And thank you, Ryan.
I'm going to...
It's a late order, but I'm going to get you your Lavender Blossom CB Rub and LaCroix at the table for moments away from now.
Sir Seth Griffin in Highland Park, Illinois, 10101.
Mother's Day...
By the way, if you ever notice, everyone names Seth Griffin.
There's a bunch of them.
There's a lot of celebrities.
Seth MacFarlane, Seth Green, Seth so-and-so.
A bunch of Seths.
They're all about the same exact age.
Really now?
So there had to be some moment around their birth year that...
Was the reason they were all called Seth?
There's very few young Seths, and there's almost no Seths my age, or your age for that matter.
So is any Seth out there, tell me what's the reason you're called Seth?
Was it a...
Soapbox or soapbox?
Soap opera character?
Yeah, who was the Seth of the day that brought this wrath upon us?
Yes, let's find out.
Anyway, sure, Seth comes in $101.01 out of Highland Park, and he has a Mother's Day shout-out to Kathy, who's a long-time listener and will make a heck of a day.
Onward.
Matthew Schauer in Egan, Minnesota.
100.
He's a sir.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Lori.
Lori Schauer.
Hello, Lori.
Sir, you can read this one.
Yes, Sir Rob Van Dyke from the Netherlands.
After some dealings with PayPal concerning my donation history.
I am now much too late for my brother's birthday present.
He celebrated on the 3rd of March.
3-3 is mine, and on 9-9, my dad's on 11-11.
That's interesting.
3-3, 9-9, 11-11.
However, after PayPal first cancelled, now restarting my monthly donation of $100, I was reminded to look into my accounting again, and there it was.
My donations to the best podcast in the universe already, finally ready for download on PayPal.
It's a little confusing here.
After being knighted myself earlier this year, I would now like to have my douchebag brother be knighted.
Oh, okay, so he's giving his knighthood to his douchebag brother, although he himself never donated.
Insert douchebag here, please.
Douchebag!
I would still like to donate a knighthood to him as to relieve him from the douchebaggery once and for all, and after all, he is the one who hit me in the mouth years back.
Please knight him Sir Ed of the Woods Edge.
For us, no additions to the menus, but we will quietly mosey along towards the hookers and blow, and maybe later on we'll have a taste of the mutton and mead, but I'm afraid we won't be that hungry after the hookers and blow.
Guys from Holland, man, they know what's up.
Sir Rob Van Dyke, thank you very much.
$100 from him.
What does he say there in Dutch?
Met vriendelijke groet.
You know what that means.
John's a douche.
Met vriendelijke groet.
John's a douche.
Robert de Groot and Yolanda Wilmsa in Mirlo, Netherlands.
Next on the list.
I do.
Listening for seven years to the BPI to you, but I have not donated since 2015.
This makes me feel ashamed I would have to request your forgiveness, which I think he means a dedouching.
I think that's what he's going for.
You've been dedouched.
I hit my smoking hot wife Yolanda in the mouth, and now she insists to make a long due donation.
As always, the wife is right, and we better live our lives supporting the show.
Dad, and we miss you in Holland.
I'll bet you're in a better place right now, though, with the keeper.
Adam's in a better place right now.
Sounds like I'm dead.
Adam is in a better place now.
Captain Boss, $100 from Franklin, Georgia.
Has he got a mom in here listed?
I'm not seeing it.
We need a jobs come or give you that at the end.
Daniel Langman in Victoria, B.C., 9641.
Cornelius Honig in Brooklyn, New York, 86.
And in honor of his smoking hot milf, Kobe K., on Mother's Day, where a millennial couple love to listen to you boomer uncles bickering and ranting during the long drives upstate, we hope our nine-month-old son's first words will be your grumpy, oh, brother.
So do we.
So do we.
I've been called out for saying that too much.
Anonymous 8008, the boobs donation, and happy Mother's Day to my smoking hot wife, the best mom in the universe, to our two human resources, from Grumpy Green Guy.
P.S. I'm a long-time douchebag, which I'll stay that way until I'm knighted.
I like that style.
James Niemeyer in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 7930.
Regrettably, my mom Sue passed away a few years ago.
Love and light always accepted.
I miss her so terribly much, but she didn't raise no douchebag.
Here's 7930 to represent her birthday, July 9th, 1930.
Thank you, James.
I'm sure she's smiling that you gave your hard-earned cash to those two losers.
Bill Johnson in Grovetown, Georgia, 7186.
Needs to do douching.
Boom.
You've been de-douched.
It's interesting.
Apparently his office has got a bunch of paranoids in it.
Pushed off the whole office.
Paranoids real.
We had two large scanners delivered that are about the size of a chest freezer.
And this person gets out of their cube and walks 20 feet to spray it with Lysol.
Spray it with Lysol.
Get Lysol.
Mitchell O'Reilly 69.
I think we got a Mother's Day call out here.
Yes, Mitch the Meat Cutter, my smoking hot overworked quarantine wife, Melissa O. We love you and need you more than ever, babe.
I'm working insane hours, six days a week, trying to feed America, and she's stuck up.
I think he's a trucker.
And she's stuck at home trying not to go insane with four cute kids six years old and younger.
Holy crap, give that woman a medal.
She's a new voluntary listener, so I graciously ask that she be de-douched and considered for the Dame Drive.
You've been de-douched.
She will be considered for the Dame Drive, and thank you, and you drive safe.
Barrister of Baltimore.
It's easier to do now.
There's less cars on the road, but there's a lot of 100 mile an hour tickets being given up to maniacs.
Mitchell O'Reilly.
That was Mitch.
The Barrister of Baltimore.
Baltimore 69.
KR in Palo Alto, California 60.
He's got some story here that...
Well, he was working on the wiki.
You were going back and forth with him?
Oh, yeah, yes, yes.
He's working on a wiki.
Yeah.
And I thought you wouldn't like the idea.
I liked the idea.
And I thought you were a wiki hater, so I didn't say that specifically, but I mentioned that he should be talking to you, too.
I removed myself from the convo.
Good.
Jeffrey Zinneman, meanwhile, didn't remove himself of the convo and donated $60 from South Euclid, Ohio.
Request some jobs, Carmen.
We'll give you that at the end.
Matt Brown in Raleigh, North Carolina.
$59.20.
Got a mom?
Why don't you read that?
Yeah, he says, I've been listening for years.
My first donation, so dedouching is in order.
You've been de-douched.
This donation is in memory of my wonderful mother who passed away a few years ago from cancer.
F cancer for her.
Anyone else who's dealing with it coming up?
Yes, the true invisible enemy that will do that at the end, Matt, for sure.
Harrison Nobles, Southport, North Carolina.
Wish my wonderful mom, Lynette, happy Mother's Day.
She loves to listen to the show and is a big fan of QAnon.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, Roger Pratter in Talladega, Alabama.
It's 5720, home of the famous racetrack and the Knights.
They apparently have special Knights in Talladega.
He's a Damastodon guy, probably the only person who listens to No Agenda.
Oh, he's a blind person who listens to No Agenda.
Really started appreciating the show because Adams mentioned how blind people would be able to work with things like jazz hands clapping.
I'm so happy, so glad that No Agenda isn't like other conservative shows where they just do the opposite of the left.
This is true.
But we're also not a conservative show.
Yeah, we're not a conservative show.
But Devin Prater says he has a birthday, I don't think he's on the list.
Hold on a second.
He turns 26.
Oh, it's belated, so let me just see.
I want to make sure we get this.
I don't think so.
Put him on.
No, Devin, 26th on the 7th.
We have more blind listeners than you'd think, actually.
I think, well, throughout the years, we've had at least 20 who have self-identified people.
But it could be more.
Podcasts are, of course, fantastic.
It's great for people who have more audible sensory...
For people who are deaf, it's horrible.
For people who are blind, it's great.
There we go.
I'm trying to just say it.
It's horrible.
That was really bad.
But anyway, Rogers, thank you very much.
I just put you on the list.
And thank you for the courage.
I thought it was Reger.
It says Roger Prater.
Oh, it's Devin.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Oh, he's Devin.
Okay, gotcha.
I don't know where Roger comes in.
Christopher Remer, or Remer, actually, in Circus Media, at Circus Media, Missoula, Montana, 5555.
And he says, to my mom, Christine, thank you for being the best mom a kid could hope for.
Aww.
Baron Bob of the Dude's Name, Ben, 5532, High Point, North Carolina.
Baron Bob of High Point, I appreciate everything my mother, Otalee, has gone through being a single mom raising two boys herself.
November Charlie 4, Romeo Golf, says 73, 73, Kilo 5, Alpha Charlie, Charlie.
Sir David C. Pugh in Massillon, Ohio.
51-10, double nickels on the dime.
This is a lot of mom days call-out.
This is more than all the other 10 years, 12 years of shows combined.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Mara.
I wonder why.
And my wife, Amy.
Pew, pew, pew.
Sir Dave Pugh.
Thomas Miller, Naperville, Illinois.
5510.
Double nickels on the dime.
No note.
Christopher Rutger from Wyoming.
Metitsy.
Metitsy?
Metitsy?
How do you pronounce it?
Metitsy.
Mother's Day wishes to my smoking hot wife, Pickles, on her first of many Mother's Days.
Pickles.
Pickles.
Thanks for all the great shows, especially the producer who made the lockdown 2020 mix on show 1238.
Fantastic indeed.
Thank you very much, Chris.
Sir Patrick Coble, Baron of Tennessee, checking in with Double Nickels on the Dime.
Happy Mother's Day to Dame Sarah for being the bestest mom and taking care of all of us.
That's good.
Stuart Walton in Staffordshire, UK. 55, another double nickels on the dime.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Jill, 86, and still going strong in this era of cower in place.
And also a smoking hot wife, Michelle, who has put up with me while simultaneously bringing up the two wonderful children, Lucy and Alex.
Love and light.
Then we have Denise Delosier, Maryland, Maryville, Tennessee.
Birthday call-out for Sir Dancing Mike from my smoking hot wife, Denise.
She suggested a great present will be a donation to the Best Podcast in the Universe for his 52nd birthday on Sunday, May 10th.
This will also contribute to her ongoing drive to Damehood.
Noted and done.
Thank you both.
Huh.
Daniel Murray, 5120.
And this donation is to thank his mom, Jackie, for all she does.
I have the best mom in the world.
However, I must call her out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Happy Mother's Day.
Along with my two sisters.
These are all douchebag call-outs.
Stephanie.
Douchebag!
Elizabeth.
Douchebag!
And my father, Guy.
Douchebag!
And he needs a de-douching in the meanwhile.
You've been de-douched.
Sir Scott Baron of the Bike in Herndon, Virginia.
Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Vicky, who hit me in the mouth.
Wow.
A decade ago.
A decade ago.
If it wasn't for her and no agenda, I'd probably be a total slave.
Please send her karma and a douchebag hair Governor Wolf for her.
Douchebags.
Eric, Governor Wolf, you have been douchebagged.
Wolf.
Sir Andrew Gardner in Leonardstown, Maryland, 50.
Happy Mother's Day to my Melissa.
Eric, boy, these are $50 donors from now on.
Can I just say something?
I don't care what radio station, what network you listen to.
Could you imagine PBS... They do Mother's Day.
They do Mother's Day greetings on the air at NPR, I should say.
Can you imagine them saying, and this is for my MILF mom.
I mean, this is what's so great about this show!
I'm glad you like it.
Just pointing it out.
He'll be around for a while.
Yeah.
Eric, especially with this support.
Eric Boyd in Milpitas, California, $50.
He's been a total douchebag since hearing Adam on the...
Oh, there was a number two.
Number two.
I'm telling you, go back.
Go back.
I lost my job to coronavirus fear hype this week.
Me and 35 million plus other Americans are in desperate need of jobs.
Karma, yes, I will do that.
Your show is the only place to get it and a personal dedouching, please.
Use that.
Use that.
You've been de-douched.
You got it, Eric.
Coming up.
Andrew Boyce in South Elgin, Illinois, 50.
And this is in need of it.
He uses a de-douching.
First time donor.
You've been de-douched.
Firstborn Calvin, his smoking hot wife, rock star wife, who was awesome during labor.
I was hitting the mouth of months ago.
And what's her name?
What's her name?
Well, okay, well, happy Mother's Day to her.
Drew Mochak in El Cerrito, California, 50.
David Beach, Pamela Scheffler, 50.
I would like to donate for Mother's Day.
I'm sure my son Andrew is cupping his head and shaking his...
What?
Let me move this over.
I would like to donate for Mother's Day.
I'm sure my son Andrew loves sitting with me listening to your show.
I know he's...
Oh, he's up in heaven cupping his head and shaking his head, laughing his butt off?
Yes.
Oh, I'm sorry, Pamela.
Sir Hay Moose of the Piedmont Province in Mooresville, North Carolina.
Kim Burden in Greensville, Michigan for her sweet mom.
Or his.
Kim is a genderless name.
Benjamin Roffler.
Robert Decanay in Fairfax, Virginia.
He's a sir, by the way.
Sir Robert.
Robert Gannon in Parts of No, but he says...
I think this is where a note goes.
Happy Mom's Day!
She has a monthly subscription.
She'll take care of the accounting.
Love, Bob.
Sir Kyle Meyer in Atlanta, Georgia, wraps this up.
I'm going to take one quick look down the list to see if there's any mom call-outs on the lesser amounts.
We just mentioned the mom.
There's a Moms, yeah, there's a Happy Moms Day from someone.
No, that's all pretty much anonymous.
I think we got it covered, yeah.
And we're always happy to do it, and I too am a little taken aback with the support for the Moms.
This has never happened on the show before.
Never.
Oh, I got it.
I got it.
I figured it out.
I know.
Okay.
What do you think?
COVID. Yes.
I agree.
I think that during this time is when people are looking around at their household and going, holy crap, she does all that?
That's what's going on.
I'm telling you, that's what's going on.
That's what's going on.
And rightly so.
The only reason, because this is the worst show, one of the worst shows of the year is the Mother's Day show.
It's true.
It's seriously.
It's absolutely the worst.
There's no donations.
One or two guys say hi, Mom.
With no enthusiasm.
At all.
At all.
Well, thank you all very much for this, and also thanks to you who came in under 50 for the...
Anonymity, also a lot on our programs.
You're right, we'll be around for a while.
You can support us like this.
Thank you.
I very much appreciate it.
And happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms.
Yes, happy Mother's Day.
Moms do a great...
We don't have moms, so...
I always like to say that.
My mom's dead.
It always puts a smile on people's face on Mother's Day.
When they hear me say that.
Alright, here we go with our jobs and F-cancer karma.
Again, thank you all very much.
We will be back for another show where you can support us as well.
That'll be on Thursday.
For that, go to...
jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got...

Please head over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
Eric the Shill will take care of you and take good care of you.
Make sure that you get your ring and your sealing wax and your certificate ASAP. And we actually have today...
No Agenda!
That's right, meetup.
That's right, it's like a party!
It's like a party!
Of course, because of the RONA, the No Agenda meetups have come to a screeching halt, but not entirely, because a lot of our producers just will not give up.
They've done different types of meetings, and I believe Boston is checking in with their reports.
In the morning!
In the morning!
Hey, this is the Boston No Agenda Spring Meetup.
Red 33!
Red 33!
We are live with, you know, the one and only Negro of the Northeast, Brandon, a.k.a.
33 Savage.
Just walking back to our teen life.
Holler at your boy.
Do it for your pop-pops.
Do it for your pop-pops.
We're also here with JJ. Yo!
JJ, Red DeBlanc here.
And this is Sir Nathan Lee Miller-Foster, Chaotic Good Knight of the White Lodge, Blue Orchid of the Gold Heart Mountain, Top Directory, Elstone, and Bear of the Sword Reforged.
I can't believe I remember that.
Thank you so much, Pop Pop and Corn Dog.
We love you, and thank you for inspiring these meetings.
In the morning, and thank you for your courage!
Little girl, yay!
Yay!
Yeah, a loud group they are.
The booze is flowing.
That's right.
And then, of course, noagendameetups.com will start moving again.
I did want to mention Sir Scatmat of Norristown, Pennsylvania, has put one on the calendar.
The Donut Narc the Thinks meetup.
And that's coming up on, I don't think it's until the 20th, but that will be FEMA Region 3.
And that will be, as I said, in Morristown, Pennsylvania.
Morristown or Norristown?
It's got to be Morristown, right?
Morristown.
So go to NoAgendaMeetups.com to find out more.
No Agenda Meetups, where everything is kind of just like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered on hell's flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
Party.
It's like a fucking party.
Baby's a party.
What a show!
What a day!
Moms everywhere are happy.
Happy, happy, happy.
Wild.
Yeah.
So I have two things left.
Milf's gone wild.
What?
I have two things left.
Okay.
I have the Kaylee slamming him each.
Oh, yes.
I was kind of excited about that.
Should we do that now?
Let's do that last.
It's not as good as her other slams in the past, but it's just a similar style.
And I'm liking the way she's doing these things.
A lot of people like her.
Then I got to...
Biden came out of the...
Looks like he came out of the basement.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Okay, this is good news.
And they did a special...
I don't know what...
A meet-up or something.
Oh, wait.
Was this yet another technological abortion?
No, it was actually pretty good.
I heard that he had a really bad one.
He didn't do it well.
And it was like, Joe Biden live.
And live was like in quotes.
It was like, you know...
He's live.
He's live.
So he comes out with a stupid mask on, looks like an idiot.
And I think he's in his back, in his basement.
And I don't think there's a bookshelf.
I think there's a green screen.
I think they just changed the set and they had him standing.
That's what I think.
I don't think he was, because I don't know that he's got this background.
And then if you listen carefully, I'm going to play two clips.
This is the first one.
It's a bit of Biden.
You can play that.
Oops.
You can hear his pacing.
Hold on, sorry.
Here we go.
That has, so far, cost tens of thousands of Americans' lives and millions of jobs.
But make no mistake, it doesn't matter how much the market rebounds, as long as there are millions of unemployed, struggling people to get by, we won't be anywhere near bouncing back.
Second, his entire economic strategy...
Hold on a second.
That sounded really dumb.
As long as there are millions of people struggling to get by.
That's great, that's basically what he's saying.
As long as there are millions of unemployed struggling people to get by, we won't be anywhere near bouncing back.
What he meant was people struggling to get by, but okay.
Second, his entire economic strategy is focused on helping the wealthy and big corporations.
Just imagine, just imagine what we could be doing now with the two trillion dollars in tax cuts Trump delivered to his rich friends as his first priority.
Imagine how much better a position we'd be in right now if instead of Donald Trump cheering corporations on that spent hundreds of billions of dollars buying back their own stock, these corporations have been using that money to keep workers on their payroll.
Okay.
All right.
This is insulting to my intelligence.
The Democrat Party, who, with the Republicans, voted unanimously for this bill for the CARES Act, which...
No, he's not talking about the CARES Act.
What's he talking about then?
He's talking about that tax cut that went into play in 2017.
The two trillion dollars?
Well, he's got his numbers a little mixed up.
Because that's not what it was.
He does have his numbers a little mixed up.
Well, anyway, he goes on.
This is the next part of it.
But they did produce this a little bit because they have...
And you notice this in the first clip, too, but you're going to notice it more if you pay attention.
I heard birds in the background.
That's what I'm saying.
They got phony birds chirping in the background.
I guess he's on the green screen.
There's no way.
You'd have to mic the birds.
I mean, come on.
Hey, wait a minute.
You sure the window's not open?
It could be the real birds.
Joe Biden, they can't even record Joe Biden properly, let alone some birds in the background, but it could be.
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
Now he really goes after Trump.
Everything's Trump's fault.
Of course it is.
Well, he has blood on his hands.
You know, COVID-19 caused massive economic challenges, but this crisis hit harder and will last longer because Donald Trump spent the last three years undermining the core pillars of our economic strength.
Many small businesses closed because of stay-at-home orders.
But a lot of them won't open again because they don't have a cushion.
Due to three years of Trump's policies that rewarded the biggest companies.
Many have lost their jobs because of the crisis.
But we're seeing many proud families forced to endure epic lines for food boxes in football stadium parking lots because Donald Trump has spent three years tilting the playing field toward the wealthy and not the middle class.
You know, Trump loves to crow about the great economy he built.
But when the crisis hit, it became clear who the economy was built to serve.
Not workers, not the middle class, not families.
Trump's economic agenda has three unmistakable failings.
Failings that have been present since day one, but are coming into sharp relief in the current crisis.
First, Hey, this is pretty insulting.
It really is.
Yeah.
But I heard a different bird.
When I listen to Joe Biden, this is the bird I hear.
It's...
Gosh, man.
Instead of saying, here's what I'm going to do, no.
This is all he's got.
So he has nothing.
No, he's got nothing.
We've already seen this before.
You can't just run on I hate Trump.
That's probably why Hillary lost.
Exactly.
Above all other things.
I mean, she could have won easily, but she had no plans.
It was just, ah, this guy sucks.
This guy sucks.
Vote for me.
What are you offering?
I don't care because this guy sucks.
So you vote for me and then we'll get rid of him.
It's exactly right.
It's exactly what's happening here.
There's nothing going on.
And then last on my list of clips, I do have Kaylee and this is going back and forth with Yamit.
She brings in some of these quotes.
That were from the released papers, and she was thinking it's great, and I'm sure she's going to have more material.
Now, this is Kayleigh McEnany, who is the new girl on the block.
She is putting up quite a fight against the Washington press corps.
I thought she wouldn't last a week, but she is there, and she's...
Hanging in.
She's a tough, made-up cookie.
It's impressive.
The second question I have is, in 2015, shortly after the president said that some Mexican immigrants were rapists and criminals, you said that that language was racist and hateful.
Do you still believe that today?
Well, I'm actually glad you asked that, because for about the first four weeks of the election, I was watching CNN, and I was naively believing some of the headlines that I saw on CNN. I just want to know if you also personally...
I'm actually not going to read the headlines.
So I very quickly came around and supported the president.
In fact, CNN hired me.
I was on many eight-on-one panels where I proudly supported this president, who I believe is one of the best presidents, if not the best president this country will ever have.
But I would encourage the individual who did that analysis of my past, rather than focusing on me, he really should be focused on some of the very guests CNN chose to have on their network.
He should be focused on, I mean, over here, Jim Clapper, who said, you know, 10 days before he privately told investigators there was no evidence of collusion, that Watergate pales in comparison to the Russia probe.
I'd encourage them to look at Samantha Powers, who's privately saying, I'm not in possession of any evidence of collusion.
Ambassador Rice, I don't recall intelligence or evidence of any collusion.
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, I do not recall that being briefed to me.
And for three years...
Two years, probably more than that.
CNN ran with the collusion narrative.
And if the American people are watching right now, they're probably very confused as to some of the quotes I read.
Because those individuals were saying much different things publicly than they were saying privately.
And I'm very grateful that those transcripts were released yesterday.
And perhaps the K-File should do an analysis of that.
Are you walking back those comments today?
I support this president.
There is no questioning that.
I'm so honored to work for him.
And Ebony, next question.
Thank you.
Shocking, I tell you.
Well, Yamisha's got to start doing some damn Arab reporting.
Is she only interested in making Kayleigh look stupid?
Is that what they're doing?
What a waste of time!
They're not getting very far.
But still, it's a waste of time.
Smart mean girl does.
I wouldn't touch her.
She's probably not to be touched.
She's probably one of those women you just don't do that to.
Now, I want to mention, she did get a little zinger in there.
Which was what?
She said, I was hired by CNN to be on one of those eight shows.
To one panel.
Which means there's eight people, eight Democrats and one Republican.
Exactly.
All right, everybody.
Affiliates, in case you hadn't noticed, we went a little bit long, but hey, we do it for the moms.
We do it for the moms.
Coming up after this...
Happy V.E. Day.
Happy V.E. Day as well.
Coming up after this show on noagendastream.com, Grumpy Old Benz will be whacking tracking.
Sounds good.

We've got Jason Lewis, Jesse Coy Nelson, and Rolando Gonzalez all keyed up.
And I am coming to you from the capital of the drone star state.
It is FEMA region number six on the governmental maps.
If you're looking for it in Opportunity Zone 33 in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA until Thursday.
Adios, everybody.
You mofos and such.
You mofos and such.
No, I ain't gonna work on Pachi's farm no more.
Well, I wake up in the morning, hold my hands and pray for vaccines.
All these changing models, they're driving me insane.
It's a shame how I scrub my hands.
I ain't gonna work for the governor no more.
No, I ain't gonna work for the governor no more.
Well, he hands you a nickel, and he hands you a dime.
And he asks you with a grin, are you having a good time?
And he finds you every time you go out your door.
Well, ain't gonna work for the governor no more.
How dare you!
How dare you!
You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words, and yet I'm one of the lucky ones.
People are suffering.
People are dying.
A deadly and contagious virus from China has made its way into the U.S. I got the virus.
I isolated myself from the beginning because I thought that, well...
Brexit.
Brexit.
With the UK set to formally leave the European Union, the government will now focus on the next phase of negotiations, getting a trade deal and forging a new partnership with the remaining 27 countries.
There are three cases of patients with coronavirus.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has now been discharged from hospital as he continues his recovery from COVID-19.
No!
Increasingly, families are going public with what it means to be a transgender kid.
So, two sisters and you're the brother, right?
Yeah.
Were you always the brother?
Not always.
What were you before?
They're a sister because I wanted to be a boy.
A deadly and contagious virus from China has made its way into the U.S. But specifically the trans community who may have been on schedule for surgery, some of them may be affected directly by COVID-19.
That's all, folks.
I didn't call you.
I didn't call you.
I didn't.
I didn't.
Here we go.
I didn't.
Sit down.
Here we go.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
That's enough.
Here we go.
Thank you, Mr.
President.
That's enough.
We stopped him cold.
Here we go.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Hillary Clinton is a bigot!
Here we go.
You shouldn't treat people that way.
Very weak on crime.
That's one of the things I think about.
Hey look, this is going to have a huge impact on China.
So what's that all about?
Here we go.
But here's the thing.
I didn't call you.
I didn't call you.
I didn't.
Here we go.
Call me directly and I'll call Sonny and give him hell.
Okay?
Let's do it the way you want.
Let's do it the way you want.
Here we go.
Some fun.
This is a lot of fun.
And uh...
We're doing well and now we're doing better.
Here we go.
Nobody has to tell me to do it.
I've been talking about that for years.
I never told you about Space Force.
Well, it's an incredible thing.
It's really like trying to put out a fire.
You know how long it took me to make that decision?
There's no collusion.
There was no collusion.
I want security, Peter.
Here we go.
It's a disaster.
They don't know what the hell they're doing.
Here we go.
They are angry people.
It should end.
I've done a lot.
I don't want to do it in China.
