	Attention, humans!
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, August 16th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1269.
	This is No Agenda.
	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 we're inundated with thunderstorms for some unknown reason, somebody's using a cloud buster.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, indeed, I would say absolutely true.
	Not a cloud buster, but a weather modification machine, and it is not reported, and it's not just where you are.
	Six days ago, they flipped this thing on.
	It has not been reported what's been happening in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
	I bet you haven't even heard of it.
	Nope, I have not heard of it.
	What came through was 10 minutes of, they actually have a name for it, Oh, I maybe have heard of it because I saw a photo of one of the graineries just blown away.
	Yeah, here's a report, Quickie.
	These are fields of Iowa opportunities lost.
	Ben Olson farms this land and raises 240 head of cattle not far from Shellsburg.
	These stocks are bent and broken, but the corn looks almost good enough to eat.
	Can you sell this?
	No.
	Why not?
	So as you can see, the kernel's still soft.
	This ear, this field, this one too, it's all now junk after a massive storm with gusts that would rival many hurricanes smashed it all down.
	A hurricane down south can do a lot of damage, but I tell you what, one of these up here in the Midwest, it's unbelievable what it'll do.
	Crop after crop, it's all been, to coin a phrase, 2020.
	2020 is going to be like a four-letter word, I'm afraid.
	There are entire neighborhoods that have not had power for six days.
	911 services aren't working.
	It's an epic failure of journalism.
	They're all so focused on Trump, but it's an actual disaster.
	And I don't know where Trump is, actually.
	What the hell?
	It's nuts.
	I got people emailing me.
	They're really frustrated because they can't get the word out as to what's happening up there.
	That's crazy.
	It is.
	It is.
	In the meantime, we've got...
	I mean, if you want to, for example, when did that happen?
	That was a while back.
	Five, six days ago.
	Yes, yeah.
	And it hasn't been really reported that I can...
	No, no, only local.
	That report was from the Weather Channel.
	You can't even get a report from anywhere.
	Well, I do have the, if you want to just compare what you just talked about, and in fact, we've got this crazy thing going on here, which makes no sense.
	I haven't experienced a summer, midsummer thunderstorm ever.
	That I can ever remember ever in California, especially around here where it's, you know, the Mediterranean climate.
	It's just I've never seen it before.
	So last night, just a bunch of lightning and thunder and it pours rain and now it's still going on.
	It's not raining.
	It's just a thunder thing and it's overcast.
	I have the, I have the, I think it's on here.
	The news...
	I mean, I did a terrible job on these...
	On the naming?
	The naming.
	Some of the naming is a bit off, for my convenience.
	I think this is kind of covering it.
	Just to show you what they are talking about, this is the CBS new ARAP. This is the teaser.
	This is all the news wrapped up at the beginning of the show.
	All in one.
	Here we go, everybody.
	Tonight, the new warning from the Postal Service.
	Your ballot might not get counted.
	President Trump threatens to hold up funding as the post office tells states it can't handle millions of mail-in votes this November.
	Will your ballot be delivered in time?
	Stark projection.
	The CDC says as many as 200,000 people could be killed by the coronavirus before Labor Day.
	The White House task force warns one state the virus is widespread and expanding.
	And as Texas closes in on 10,000 deaths, high schools in another hot spot vote to play football this fall.
	On Unmasked.
	Could the mask you're wearing be worse than no mask at all?
	The new research and the government guidance on which face coverings work and which ones don't.
	Conspiracy theory.
	President Trump questions if Joe Biden's new running mate is eligible to be on the ticket.
	She is.
	Why some are calling the false attack on Senator Kamala Harris racist.
	The first interview from one of the officers in the George Floyd case.
	What he told investigators about that knee-on-neck maneuver and his first reaction when he learned Floyd was dead.
	Out of control blaze.
	A second major wildfire torches Southern California.
	Will this weekend's weather make the situation even more dangerous?
	Too close for comfort.
	The shocking video as a wild bison violently attacks a tourist.
	Why experts say the animal isn't to blame.
	And on the road, or at least the side of it, CBS's Steve Hartman with the World War II vet on a cross-country mission for the second time.
	Oh my goodness.
	This is horrible.
	This is the CBS Evening News with Nora O'Donnell.
	Yes!
	Reporting from the nation's county.
	Great, everybody!
	Good evening, and thank you for joining us.
	Nora is off.
	I'm Margaret Brennan.
	Thank you, Margaret.
	I'm Adam Curry here in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where a Derrico hit six days ago.
	Ten minutes at Derrico, an incredible phenomenon that would have been great as a headline for your newscast, because after it all is death and destruction.
	Well, I kind of got a kick out of her slamming Nora.
	She says Nora is off.
	There was...
	Yeah, right.
	There was something else in there, and I believe that the news out in California is you guys are getting rolling blackouts soon.
	I haven't seen one.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, there's a...
	Here, California warns of power shortages with heat-roiling cities.
	And they're predicting rolling blackouts.
	I haven't had one.
	I'm saying they're predicting rolling blackouts.
	Oh, predicting.
	Well, I could predict that.
	Well, but I got an email from one of our producers that may interest you.
	He says, I am part of a test team at General Electric.
	I worked at this site back in 2013.
	There was a plan to do another test in 2019, but they decided to close the site.
	The older machines took a long time, as in hours, to ramp up and to base load.
	They were steam-cooled, so you had to wait for the steam.
	During the day, these machines had to operate at partial load due to high wind and solar usage.
	Now, these are what was supposed to be replaced, not good for emissions and efficiency.
	The newer machines can ramp up from zero to baseload.
	This is gas-fired, 385 megawatts in less than 30 minutes.
	What California has done is they have removed every single one of their gas-based power turbines, And what our GE engineer here is saying is that they're just leaving these old machines there that cannot handle the baseload quickly, so they have to do a blackout, a rolling blackout, so the other machines come up online.
	If they had just stuck with the machines that they could have, then you wouldn't have this problem.
	So it's really a management decision, Green New Deal type of choice they made.
	Well, that guy who took over PG&E is a bonehead.
	Yeah.
	He's the guy who has to black out everything during windstorms and the rest.
	Well, I hope it doesn't happen.
	I hope it doesn't happen during the show.
	That would be somewhat disturbing.
	I'm in a pretty protected area.
	It's pretty rare.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, that's good.
	Now, then we have Colorado who are begging for a rain stick.
	But I'm worried about that.
	I wouldn't do it.
	Our producer says, Colorado needs the rain stick.
	I have firefighting planes flying over my house all day.
	My car is covered in soot.
	I have desert plants that are dying.
	Before too long, we're all going to look like black peat.
	We're just sucking in soot.
	Please help.
	Are you sure we shouldn't do this?
	They're talking about the fires in California.
	Why is it...
	This is Colorado.
	Margaret discussing this.
	I didn't know this was going on.
	It's not in the news.
	Yeah.
	But what I'm worried about is the location of Colorado.
	I'm afraid I don't want to hit Iowa on the backside of it.
	Well, I don't, or here.
	Yeah, but would I be okay if I just did one shake?
	No, go ahead.
	Give it a shot.
	It's always an experiment.
	Hold on.
	It's in a rain stick lock safe, you understand.
	Can't have any unauthorized use.
	Alright, here you go, Colorado.
	Two shakes.
	Okay, that should just give you a little bit of relief.
	relief let me know how it is in two days hello hello Oh, I was waiting.
	You went silent on me.
	I was putting the rain stick back in the case.
	No, I was silent.
	I didn't say anything.
	Okay.
	So that's the weather.
	Now that we've got the weather out of the way.
	Except for the firestorm.
	That's the weather, everybody.
	They usually open with weather when they can.
	It makes no sense.
	Unless, well, look, what's destroyed is crops.
	Very important crops.
	It's corn.
	I would say that's probably what China wants.
	Something's going on.
	There's a lot going on, actually.
	I'm not trusting much anymore.
	You should be able to trust one thing and one thing only.
	Okay.
	The car count for the Zephyr.
	Do you have an accurate count for today?
	I believe the train is about to approach.
	Okay.
	We shall wait.
	That's why I'm stretching out my sentence structure in such a way that it allows for the train to make its way all the way.
	Ladies and gentlemen, here it comes.
	We're counting the Jeffer cars.
	One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight.
	Eight cars.
	Any bonus?
	No, nothing.
	Eight cars.
	It was going by slow, very slow again.
	What time is it?
	It's 11.20, so it's late.
	Four minutes late.
	Four minutes late, going slow.
	Eight cars.
	Economy is stable.
	Bitcoin, 11,871.
	Oh, my God!
	Listen to that horn!
	All right, everybody, at CNBC, you can go back to work.
	I always switch over to listen to this.
	So, coronavirus.
	Just a couple minutes on corona.
	My corona.
	On the coronavirus.
	The corona, the rona, is really, it's like American Idol.
	And we had it in China.
	China Idol.
	Then we had American Idol.
	We had European Idol.
	Now we're Idols Down Under.
	Just like all the rest of them after a few episodes, this sucks.
	Yes, Idols Down Under.
	And we've been looking to see, first of all, a note that this is clearly because the virus is aerosolized.
	We had Maurice the dog who has been marginalized, but obviously correct.
	Even the Netherlands people are now saying the dog was right.
	Australia and New Zealand had locked down.
	We are the winners.
	We did it.
	We're awesome.
	We kept it all away.
	We locked everything down tight.
	And of course, flu season came along just as expected.
	And there was no stopping it.
	There are cases and spreading and people are dying.
	And Victoria, the state of Victoria, has shut down in a real prison style.
	So, it's interesting to see if it will follow the same template.
	And the first part of that is...
	Where do we have it here?
	I have the...
	Yes, we have hydroxychloroquine being discredited and confiscated at the border.
	Why?
	Well, because Clive...
	What's his name?
	How?
	What's the douchebag's name?
	Clive?
	I don't know any Clive douchebag.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Is everyone named Clive a douchebag?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	Clive James.
	He had ordered, you know, like 10 million doses.
	So basically we have a rich guy who is the asshole of hydroxychloroquine and everything is being stopped and confiscated.
	So they're really kind of following the template.
	Here, hydroxychloroquine imports spike in Australia as billionaire accused of touting drug as a cure.
	Sound familiar?
	So we have the evil guy, the nutjob, who's promoted it, and we're stopping people from taking it.
	And this is about the time when you'd want to take it, when you have this going on.
	But no.
	from one of our producers.
	My wife works for the Southern Australian Police in the coronavirus security.
	We both listened to the show.
	I was just in Australia at the end of February, early March.
	I saw all of this unfold from there.
	I was in Melbourne, Adelaide, and flew back to the States from Sydney.
	All the internal borders are closed.
	They have checkpoints to get your name and address, and they follow up to make sure you quarantine.
	South Australia has relatively zero coronavirus.
	They went months without one case.
	They live normal, mask-free lives, full restaurants.
	The political elite there protect their people.
	The only cases that we would get would be some Indian, quote, returning home or some connected family bringing mom in who just happened to have COVID.
	Many people have been caught trying to sneak into Southern Australia from Victoria to...
	Victoria made its bed and now it has to lie in it.
	That's how much these states hate each other.
	25 years of smug left-wing bringing the refugees liberalism has created a giant petri dish of different biologies, customs, languages, etc.
	There's no way to regulate this mess.
	And it's a mess, a great big festering mess of cataclysm, just like New York City.
	I have thoughts about that.
	Victoria is governed differently from Southern Australia.
	Victoria is loose and has a lot of foreign gangs running things because the leadership there is childlike, naive, and immature.
	The international crowd they've brought in is far more sophisticated than the buffoons running Victoria.
	It's like a bunch of high school kids thinking they understand MS-13 because of MTV videos glamorizing it.
	They're sitting ducks.
	It's sad.
	They have no idea the shark-infested waters in which they swim.
	And here's the interesting thing.
	Interesting thing is this guy should be writing op-eds.
	Well, he's a native New Yorker from Manhattan.
	But this is the only, and hated for it, the only state in Australia that signed up for the Belt and Road China deal.
	Okay, so let me just review for a moment.
	If this were, and I'm a conspiracy therapist, I am just analyzing the situation.
	We have a virus.
	It gets out and does nasty damage in northern Italy, where all of the fashion houses are.
	New York, which is pretty much owned by China.
	See the New Year's Eve, Rockin' Eve Times Square, completely sponsored by China.
	Yep.
	Now we have the only state in Australia that has dealings with China.
	Right, and that also leans against the federal government there.
	Yep.
	So what if the following were taking place?
	Because this morning you'll see New York is streaming out.
	People are leaving businesses and people who were there who can conduct themselves online and from home or separate spaces.
	We're really in New York initially for the bandwidth because New York City was very, very good on rolling out super high bandwidth.
	Now, of course, they can do that from everywhere.
	The cities are emptying, the restaurants are closing, there's no one left really to speak of to keep any business going.
	Wouldn't it be interesting if China comes along and says to Cuomo, or maybe the douchebags in Victoria or in Northern Italy, which also had the deal with China, Hey, Trump won't give you the money.
	We'll give you the money.
	Here.
	And all you have to do is put the collateral, the stuff that you're going to build with that money.
	It's the China model.
	You watch.
	It's the China model.
	It's only, it's without actually rubbalizing the buildings.
	It's sophisticated.
	They've already practiced this in Africa for decades.
	Yes, that's what I'm saying.
	It's the African model.
	And I can see Victoria following the exact same template.
	No hydroxychloroquine.
	Okay, so what is next?
	They're not even really talking about vaccines yet.
	That's the interesting thing.
	They're still in the death mode and the count mode.
	Oh, of course it's coming.
	It is really, really coincidental that this is happening at this pace.
	I am really starting to see some patterns happening.
	That should make us all somewhat worried.
	Let's see.
	Well, especially in those hot spots.
	Well, it has to be the combination.
	It's the hot spot...
	And it's the deal with either a Belt and Road deal or a 5G deal.
	It's the three places.
	It's driving me nuts.
	And if you look at New York, New York and New Jersey, that's 70,000, 80,000 recorded deaths compared to the rest.
	I mean, Texas, we're like number 20 on the death list for the U.S., But no, focus on us.
	On the leaderboard.
	On the leaderboard, yeah.
	So, you know, what we can probably look...
	So I think that with the hydroxychloroquine, what comes right after the hydroxy bullcrap?
	Then we get...
	They've got to switch the models or something?
	Wasn't that what happened?
	No, then they found that stuff that you can use if somebody's pretty much on their deathbed.
	The lack of discussion, which I think they have completely pulled the plug on, ironic comment, is the ventilators.
	Nobody talks about ventilators anymore.
	Well, no, because you don't need them anymore.
	Because Trump, I guess, instituted a process of making so many ventilators that they passed them all over the world.
	Well, they give him too much credit, so screw that.
	Don't talk about that.
	But there is a new piece of research that I'd like to share that we have not seen.
	It's not any cure.
	It's just some information.
	And this is a study that That looked at why some people have very bad reaction to COVID, to coronavirus, and thus developing a horrible COVID reaction, and why some have very little, if any, at all.
	And that's something I have not heard much about, other than, I think, different blood types.
	There's some...
	Some noise floating around that if you have previous flu shots, that may have made it worse.
	There was some actual research about that, about the 2019 flu.
	They've got to squash that.
	We've talked about that.
	That was the military.
	They always test all the flu vaccines.
	I think it was the 2018-2019, people who...
	The studies for that say that people who took that flu actually were more susceptible to coronavirus itself.
	And then we have one of our producers who mailed me, and I kind of liked how we started.
	Hey, Adam, long time, no comms.
	I went overboard while finishing up my Ph.D. Really?
	I mean, that's your excuse?
	Haven't had much time to listen to the show.
	Only when I'm mowing the lawn, I hope things go well for you guys.
	I'm not in the medical field, but I regularly read the journal Science.
	I saw this study.
	I don't know if you've heard any news about it, and he has a link to the study.
	Pretty dense, which it is, published in the highest peer-reviewed journal in the country.
	It should be considered with some degree of confidence.
	Basically, anywhere up to 50% of people may already have immunity to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
	Not because of antibodies, but because of T-cells.
	In sum, the data demonstrate that memory CD4-plus T cells, recognizing common cold coronaviruses, including HCOV-VOC43, HCOV-VHKU1, a couple of numbers there, can exhibit substantial cross-reactivity to the...
	Homologous epitope in the SARS-CoV-2.
	Man, I'm glad he's the PhD.
	In layman's terms, if you've had a cold caused by a bunch of different coronaviruses in the past, your T-cells retain the memory of how to fight them and thus also SARS-CoV-2.
	And that would explain why I don't have anything.
	I'm constantly dripping.
	Constantly.
	I always have a cold or an allergy.
	I'm always blowing my nose.
	The end of the article with some doubt, though, to be fair, claiming that this T-cell memory causing different outcomes to those exposed to SARS-CoV-2 is, quote, highly speculative.
	However, I think this explains why only 10-20% of people are contracting the disease, and even less are symptomatic.
	Herd immunity is usually considered after 60-70% of population are immune.
	Well, if 50% are immune because of their T-cells, that leaves very little room for mass infections before 70% is reached.
	And...
	This also explains why children aren't affected as much.
	Of course!
	Children are always walking around with a snotty nose.
	I like this.
	Well, this is another thing that won't be discussed much.
	Isn't that why we're here?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And to wind it up, I have...
	Let me see...
	Wow, what is this?
	This is odd.
	Actually, why we're here is so I can say this won't be discussed much.
	This won't be discussed much.
	Tedros came out and did another speech.
	Ah, our buddy.
	Yeah, it's kind of, I don't know why, this looks weird on the waveform.
	We leave.
	Yeah, okay.
	So Tedros came out.
	And he is pushing two things.
	Well, he's really pushing one thing, which is we need money, which is kind of funny to hear him pitch.
	His job.
	Yeah.
	And his first pitch is for the ACT Accelerator.
	And the ACT Accelerator is the Access to COVID Tools.
	And a COVID tool would be a vaccine, a therapeutic, or a bullet to the head.
	I don't know.
	Anything that is a tool to help you with coronavirus COVID. So it's really a fund.
	We need to put all the money in one place, the act accelerator, so that we can, together, as a global community, we can solve the problem.
	For that is truly the only way.
	We live in a globalized economy, and countries are dependent on each other for goods and services, transportation and supply.
	If we don't get rid of the virus everywhere, we can't rebuild economies anywhere.
	And the real beauty of the Accelerator and its work is that stimulus investments and globally coordinated rollout of new vaccines, tests and therapeutics would have a major multiplier effect on our economies.
	The sooner we stop the pandemic, The sooner we can ensure internationally interlinked sectors like travel, trade and tourism can truly recover.
	There is hope, but it must be financed to be successful.
	IMF estimates the pandemic costs the global economy $375 billion a month and predicts a cumulative loss to the global economy over two years of over $12 trillion.
	If we all deploy the tools currently at our disposal today, and if we collectively invest in new tools through the ACT Accelerator, we have a route out of this pandemic.
	Together, together, together with solidarity.
	Together, together, together.
	Now, of course, this thing is winding down in most of the world.
	We're not seeing people die as much.
	We don't need the ventilators, as you pointed out.
	That's not what I heard on the CBS Rundown.
	But that's okay, because we still need the ACT Accelerator.
	It is important, because there's another pandemic on the horizon!
	Over the past two years, working with the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, communities, health workers, and local and international partners, we collectively defeated one of the most difficult Ebola outbreaks the world has ever faced.
	However, at the time of COVID-19, the outbreak in Equator province is a worrying development.
	So far, there have been 86 Ebola cases across the province.
	The country, government, and partners face significant logistical challenges in being able to rapidly investigate and establish response capacities in extremely remote and difficult areas to access.
	The geographic spread of the outbreak is vast, with cases in some areas separated by more than 250 kilometers and many areas are only accessible by helicopter or boat.
	Right now, WHO has approximately 100 staff on the ground working with the Ministry of Health, UN agencies, NGOs and communities.
	We immediately released $2.5 million from the Contingency Fund for Emergencies and our Regional Emergency Response Fund to support the immediate response.
	to bring the outbreak under control and end it.
	WHO and partners require additional funding.
	Yes.
	38 billion.
	Woo, everybody.
	It's back.
	Oh, yeah.
	Nice.
	It's back!
	We have a whole bunch of jingles when it's ready.
	Well, there's another one.
	Well, actually, I have some COVID stuff before I bring in my next pandemic or dangerous situation.
	Yeah.
	Actually, we can play that now.
	Go for the clip triple E coming.
	Triple E? Oh boy, it doesn't sound good.
	A woman in her 60s is the second person in the state with a confirmed case of Triple E this year.
	The Department of Public Health says she was exposed to the mosquito-borne virus in Western Mass.
	As a result, the Triple E risk level is now at critical in Wilbraham.
	Triple E is what?
	Triple E is the Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
	Eastern equine.
	The virus was discovered in four sentinel chickens.
	By the way, they have these sentinel chickens.
	Strategically placed fowl used by states to detect the presence of mosquito-borne viruses in the area.
	Delaware is one of the main places where it is.
	Joe Biden country.
	The virus was detected in all three counties of the state of Delaware, Newcastle, Kent, and Sussex.
	Oh, brother.
	Triple E infections are spread by mosquito bites and lead to brain infections that 30% of the time result in fatalities, a 30% killer, or neurological problems in survivors.
	The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they reported this.
	Symptoms including the sudden onset of headache, You'd think this would be on the news.
	Kinda.
	And people who live in or around visit woodland areas, ah, the tree huggers, and work outside or participate in outdoor activities, football.
	Delaware health officials are encouraging residents, especially in the affected counties, to use bug repellent with DEET to protect the skin with long-sleeved clothing whenever possible.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Triple E. Yeah?
	You never heard of it?
	No.
	I like it, though.
	We can do triple E donations.
	It's going to be very helpful.
	In 1976, I don't remember this as well.
	I was living in the Netherlands.
	I was like 12.
	There was a huge swine flu outbreak.
	Do you remember any of this?
	Oh, that's the original swine flu.
	The original swine flu, yeah.
	Do you remember that?
	I remember it very much.
	Yes, because when I was at the air pollution district, there were people that...
	I never took the shots or anything, but there were people getting killed by the shots.
	Yes.
	They really suppressed this baby.
	In 1979, Mike Wallace...
	We played this entire interview on the show.
	We did?
	Yep.
	Which interview is it?
	It's Mike Wallace and this woman and they're discussing the fact that nobody actually got this thing and it was the shot killing everybody.
	Well, hmm.
	This is the report about the report.
	We played that whole thing?
	It's not a...
	Well, just...
	If we've played it before, tell me to stop and I'll stop.
	No, I mean, if you played it before, it's probably worth playing again.
	I mean, it was a good clip.
	So it's really a deconstruction of 1976...
	In 1979.
	Remember the swine flu scare of 1976?
	Yep, this is exactly the same clip.
	I think we should listen a little bit as well.
	Worth it.
	No, I think you should try to remember the clip.
	Yeah, we should listen to it again.
	I like this clip.
	Swine flu could turn out to be a killer that could spread across the nation.
	And Washington decided that every man, woman and child in the nation should get a shot to prevent a nationwide outbreak, a pandemic.
	Well, 46 million of us obediently took the shot.
	And now 4,000 Americans are claiming damages from Uncle Sam amounting to three and a half billion dollars because of what happened when they took that shot.
	Dr.
	David Sensor, then head of the CDC, the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, is now in private industry.
	He devised the swine flu program and he pushed it.
	See, I think this is different.
	I don't think this is what we played before.
	No, I'm telling you it's exactly the same.
	It's exactly the same?
	Okay.
	You began to give flu shots to the American people in October of 76.
	October 1st.
	By that time, how many cases of swine flu around the world had been reported?
	There had been several reported, but none confirmed.
	Now, nearly everyone was to receive the shot in a public health facility where a doctor might not be present.
	Therefore, it was up to the CDC to come up with some kind of official consent form, giving the public all the information it needed about the swine flu shot.
	This form stated that the swine flu vaccine had been tested.
	What it didn't say was that after those tests were completed, the scientists developed another vaccine.
	You are right, man.
	The reason why I didn't remember it is because it was one of your clips, three of them, in March.
	In March!
	I got it!
	I must have the triple E! And that was the one given to most of the 46 million who took the shot.
	That vaccine was called X53A. Was X-53A ever field tested?
	I can't say I would have to.
	It wasn't?
	I don't know.
	Well, I would think that you're in charge of the program.
	I would have to check the records.
	I haven't looked at this in some time.
	Dr.
	Michael Hatwick directed the surveillance team for the swine flu program at the CDC. His job was to find out what possible complications could arise from taking the shot and to report his findings to those in charge.
	Did you know ahead of time, Dr.
	Hatwick, that there had been case reports of neurological disorders, neurological illness, apparently associated with the injection of influenza vaccine?
	Absolutely.
	You did?
	Yes.
	How'd you know that?
	By review of the literature.
	So you told your superiors, the men in charge of the swine flu immunization program, about the possibility of neurological disorders?
	Absolutely.
	What would you say if I told you that your superiors say that you never told them about the possibility of neurological complications?
	That's nonsense.
	I can't believe that they would say that they did not know that there were neurological illnesses associated with influenza vaccination.
	That simply is not true.
	Influenza vaccination?
	I've said that Dr.
	Hatwick never told me of his feelings on this subject and he's lying.
	I guess you would have to make that assumption.
	Then why does this report from your own agency dated July 1976 list neurological complications as a possibility?
	I think the Consensus of the scientific community was that the evidence relating neurologic disorders to influenza immunization was such that they did not feel that this association was a real one.
	You're right.
	I didn't even remember that.
	Shows too dense.
	You know, I was thinking today, we're so dense.
	We're also way too tight for this market.
	I could do a show every day, not that I want to, but these days there is so much, so much news.
	You can't do it as a brand.
	Oh no, it would burn us out in a heartbeat.
	Unless you have something else in the COVID sphere, maybe I can take us into...
	No, I have plenty.
	Oh good.
	I just want to get some update reports.
	First of all, let's go back to Massachusetts.
	Because they've gotten so carried away here, they found some kid who had some COVID on him, and so they're now experimenting with contact tracing.
	This is contact tracing in Massachusetts.
	Let's listen to this story.
	The Department of Public Health is coordinating contact tracing with other health departments.
	This after a Massachusetts teenager tested positive for the coronavirus while playing ice hockey out of state.
	The Globe reports the teen played in a tournament in Connecticut and also practiced in New Hampshire.
	I have to kill the kid.
	Oh, big deal.
	Okay.
	Lock that kid up.
	Lock him up.
	Lock him up.
	So he's tested positive.
	Oh, no.
	Here's an update on California.
	This is COVID California.
	Oh, brother.
	Today, California topped 600,000 confirmed cases.
	The most of any state since the pandemic began.
	As positivity rates remain above the recommended levels for reopening across much of the country, Dr.
	Fauci again warned against reopening too quickly.
	In your understandable zeal to quickly get back to normal and revive the economy, you can do it in a measured, prudent way.
	To think that you can ignore the biologic is just not going to happen.
	Looking ahead to a possible vaccine, the CDC has reportedly reached out to four states, including Florida, as well as the city of Philadelphia, to begin drafting plans on how they would store and distribute a vaccine, including who gets priority.
	Margaret?
	Who gets priority?
	We all know it's old people and black and brown communities.
	No, the healthcare workers are priority number one.
	Yeah, the healthcare workers are not going to want to take that right off the bat.
	Well, they're going to have to to keep their jobs.
	I know.
	I know.
	I hate it.
	It's already like that with influenza vaccine.
	It's mandatory in many hospitals.
	You know, I think, and I thought about this.
	Gee, I wonder with the healthcare industry and the healthcare professors, if anyone is phoning up the paperwork.
	Well, we certainly, you don't have to phony it up.
	I'm a doctor, you're a doctor.
	I gave you a shot, I'll sign off on it.
	You give me a shot, you sign off on it.
	Neither one of us gets a shot.
	Is there any monitoring of this?
	Yeah, you probably have to sign a lot of documents.
	No, I'm sure it's just that simple, just what I expressed.
	Okay, I'm sure many of our healthcare professionals will let us know.
	Anonymously, I hope.
	Yeah, so of course they will.
	So meanwhile, of course, we have Georgia, Florida, Texas.
	The three states that tried to open too soon, and they must be punished.
	What have we done?
	Oh, that's right.
	We opened too soon.
	We're horrible.
	We're lame.
	And of course, what was the state that opened the first, that really opened up right away?
	Georgia.
	Well, we have a report.
	All right.
	The president's COVID task force says the virus is spreading way too quickly in Georgia and warns bars and restaurants should close in some counties.
	But tonight, it's not clear if state officials will heed that advice.
	Here's CBS's Manuel DeHorquez.
	Georgia's efforts to fight the virus are not having a sufficient impact, according to the White House Coronavirus Task Force.
	In a report obtained by CBS News dated August 9th, the task force strongly recommended a statewide mask mandate.
	Governor Brian Kemp has not publicly addressed the report and has refused to enact a mask order.
	I'm confident that Georgians don't need a mandate to do the right thing.
	But Dr.
	Anthony Fauci pushed for everyone to mask up.
	Is that absolutely we should have universal wearing of masks.
	For myself, personally, I would say everybody should have to use it.
	The debate comes as more schools are set to reopen, despite more than 2,000 students and staff having to quarantine nationwide due to positive cases in schools where students recently returned to class.
	In Florida, a judge allowed a lawsuit seeking to delay in-person instruction to proceed, but it'll be heard next week when some schools are already back.
	Today, the state decided to allow high school football to start at the end of the month.
	In Arizona, Mark DeGrow, a chemistry teacher with a four-decade law career, handed in his resignation when his school district near Phoenix chose to restart in-person teaching.
	Gosh.
	Regarding schools, you know, the ones that have moved to online or hybrid or whatever, they immediately, of course, use Google Classroom because it's free, it's completely safe and secure, and there's no tracking of your children.
	Google has been giving away and selling at discounted prices, great package deals with Chromebooks.
	Unfortunately, the teacher communities are now up in arms.
	The supply of Chromebooks is pretty much out because they're all sitting in the warehouse in China.
	Ha!
	I know.
	Not really funny.
	It's kind of sad.
	So, continuing this last clip, there was a teacher.
	There was apparently a bunch of science teachers quit.
	I don't know why they picked this one.
	It was Arizona, I think.
	Yeah, and this is something.
	I have a hint that there may be something scammish going on.
	I don't know why they picked this one teacher, but this is the teacher quits.
	I might ask the question, why are they interviewing this one guy?
	When a school district near Phoenix chose to restart in-person teaching.
	You have 33 students.
	In a classroom for 50 minutes, and you do that five times a day.
	It's not safe.
	So 41 years of teaching, and this is what unfortunately makes you end this career?
	Yeah.
	In my science department of 11, six of us are resigning.
	But if this was still a virtual-only environment, you would still be there?
	Oh, all of us would.
	Yeah.
	Thank you, Google.
	Yeah, really?
	Jeez.
	Drop to 33.
	We'd still be there if we could have Google doing everything.
	This is ridiculous, and they're science teachers.
	Oh, man.
	Science teachers, no less.
	Yep.
	I want to remind everybody that when this started, China took the unprecedented step of shutting down 11 million people in a city We don't really talk about it anymore.
	It had never been done before to that degree.
	It was, of course, either a test or the model or whatever it is.
	That became what everyone had to do.
	And what I've been somewhat curious slash obsessed over is, how does that work?
	How does the medical information get simplified, dumbed down, distorted, misinformed, confusing, just put a whole lot...
	How does it get into the media and how does it get into the...
	Just how does it get in?
	I mean, we know World Health Organization, we know who they take their cues from, we know that the entire medical community has at the top people who have China's best interests at heart, the Harvard School of Medicine, the Harvard Bloomberg School of Medicine, their Event 201 preparing for, I mean, it's all too much.
	I think, you know, you're asking a question that I think is the point of the exercise.
	Right.
	I think I have at least one answer.
	I have found one answer as to where a lot of this comes from.
	And you'd think...
	You know, we have the Norman Lear in Hollywood, Norman Lear Hollywood Foundation.
	Out of USC. Yeah, and they put a lot of stuff into sitcoms, etc.
	But I don't think they really do a lot for news, certainly not for medical.
	No, there's got to be some that does.
	Okay, so here's what I learned.
	Something very extraordinary happened Friday, I think.
	The first...
	Live, one-on-one interview with vice presidential pick Kamala Harris was going to air live on MSNBC. And I'm always flipping around.
	I'm watching, probably I watch more MSNBC than anything.
	But I'm flipping around and I see that, like, holy crap.
	And so I think, is she going to be on set?
	Who's going to do the interview?
	They switch over for a half-full, half-hour live to a web stream, which was essentially a two-pane Zoom call between Erin Hayes, editor-at-large of the 19th, and Kamala Harris, who is at her flag-draped podium there where Joe lives.
	For MSNBC to give up a full half hour to submit to the wishes of the campaign that this is how we're going to do our first interview and you're going to air it, I found, I would say that is not normal.
	What do you think?
	Well, I have a couple of thoughts.
	First of all, if you can make sure it's an exclusive and you can have bragging rights, you might go along with it.
	It's pretty lame to do that.
	I mean, normally you would have one of your hosts do the whole thing.
	You wouldn't give it to some third party called whatever it is.
	I never heard of this group.
	Do the interview.
	Why are they doing the interview?
	If I was on the editorial side of MSNBC, I'd have a lot...
	I wouldn't be pissed.
	I wouldn't allow it.
	I would say, here's the rules that we're going to go by.
	And I would go to the Harris campaign and strong arm them and say, look, you want to be exclusive to this.
	We have to do it.
	And we're going to be your biggest supporters.
	And you know that.
	So don't take us for granted.
	I would make it go differently.
	This doesn't sound right.
	Exactly.
	So there's some power structure somewhere, which will lead into what we're talking about.
	It could be that the structure...
	I mean, this could be coming down from Comcast bosses.
	I think I have the answer.
	I've done the work, John.
	You've done the work.
	I've done the work.
	You've also done the work of developing a very good tease.
	Yeah.
	Just one clip to give you an idea of how this sounded on MSNBC. NBC News, they take their work seriously.
	It's professional.
	You've got tight transitions and stuff flying around on the screen.
	So this is how it started as they cut from MSNBC, and now they're live on the web.
	Hello, I'm Erin Haynes, editor-at-large for The 19th, and welcome to Day 5 of The 19th Represents.
	Today we're in conversation with somebody who you may have seen in the headlines a bit this week.
	Senator Kamala Harris of California was announced Tuesday as the 2020 Democratic vice presidential nominee.
	A historic choice that ended months of speculation over which of the qualified, capable, and talented women Joe Biden would select as his running mate.
	Senator Harris, we're so excited that you could join us for your first extended conversation since joining the ticket.
	Thanks so much for being here.
	I am so happy to be with you, Erin.
	And on purpose, my first interview as a teammate and a running mate with Joe Biden is with the 19th.
	So thank you.
	It's good to be with you.
	Well, thank you so much for stopping by.
	Listen, I know so many of the people out here watching today are wanting to hear directly from you about how we got to this moment.
	So let's talk about this deep stakes process, which must have been even more nerve-wracking and high stakes for you than it was for all of us who were watching from the outside.
	So 30 minutes.
	Uninterrupted, of shitty connection, horrible audio, questions like, if you were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?
	Every question was softball set up.
	She's reading them that was agreed to.
	Kamala says, as a team member, as a teammate, of what?
	Of the 19th?
	What the hell?
	She said it was Joe Biden.
	It was pretty clear.
	Joe Biden and the...
	Okay.
	So what is Joe Biden's connection to the 19th?
	There's some team there that we're unaware of.
	I've never heard of this operation.
	I'm going to tell you about it.
	And this is a Princeton...
	I sure can't find anything.
	She is a Princeton professor.
	Listen to her grammar.
	I want to start by asking you how your name came up for this role.
	I mean, is this something that you told Joe Biden that you were interested in, or did he approach you?
	Did he approach you?
	Come on, please, Princeton.
	And what kind of question is that?
	How did that come up?
	This is not what NBC would want from a journalistic interview.
	So let's look at the 19th.
	You can find it at 19thnews.org.
	19th News is a non-profit.
	Is it spelled?
	Number one, number nine, T-H-N-E-W-S dot org.
	19th.
	This is brand new.
	It was founded, or its non-profit status was accepted in 2019, so there's no numbers that I can garner from a Form 990 because they don't have to file until October if they ever do file.
	And what this is...
	Welcome to my show!
	Deep-dive evidence-based reporting that exposes gender inequity and injustice and reveals surprising and original stories on the issue that most deeply affect women's lives from health care to the economy.
	So clearly a Joe Biden team.
	I did want to know who was behind this.
	This is the kind of stuff we do.
	I want to read the head when you do a search.
	It says the 19th News informing women.
	Transforming news.
	Yes.
	So let's see how they've been doing.
	They're a non-profit.
	You could turn your speakers down one dog biscuit.
	That would be great.
	Thanks.
	Within this one year, we do not know how much money they've raised, but they have, just like No Agenda Show, actually, they have credits.
	And I'm going to skip up to $1,000.
	I'm going to skip the $25,000.
	I'll go to the $25,000 to $100,000 level where we have...
	Boone Family Foundation, Good Words Foundation.
	We have...
	Well, let's go up one.
	Let's go to the 100,000 to 250,000.
	Abigail Disney, Carnegie Corporation of New York, Knight Foundation.
	There's a whole bunch more.
	Let's go up to the 250 to 1 million.
	Arnold Ventures, Barbara and Amos Hostetter.
	Sounds like kind of a...
	PBS-type list, Craig Newmark, Philanthropies, Ford Foundation, and then at the very top, $1 million and above, we have two names.
	The Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors Collaborative for Gender and Reproductive Equity, but more importantly, Quadrivium.
	Quadrivium.
	What the hell is Quadrivium?
	Well, Quadrivium is basically a foundation that invests in other foundations, and it is headed up by Catherine and James Murdoch, the two Trump-hating Murdochs from the Fox family.
	Well, James recently just left the board of directors.
	He left the board of directors.
	So these are Trump haters.
	They've got a hell of a lot of money, and they're funding this outfit for this type of quote-unquote news.
	But they fund a lot more.
	They also fund Sciline, Science Line.
	This is where it gets interesting.
	Sciline.
	COVID-19 resources for reporters.
	Sciline is offering free resources to journalists to support their coverage of the current pandemic, including quotable comments from science experts, a series of media briefings and Q&A with experts, tips for local reporters, a localizable infographic showing coronavirus cases and deaths by state and country, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Your story involves science.
	You need an expert.
	You need that expert now!
	So that's what Sciline does, and it is funded by lots of people, but up on top is Catherine Murdoch.
	She's the lead on this.
	And who do they work with?
	Well, this is the killer.
	This is the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
	This is the motherlode.
	Mission.
	And they're the AAAS, the AAAS. Yes, they've been around for a while.
	Yes, hundreds of millions of dollars, according to their Form 990.
	They seek to advance science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people.
	To fulfill this mission, the AAAS board has set the following broad goals.
	Enhance communication among scientists, engineers, and the public.
	Promote and defend the integrity of science and its use.
	Strengthen support for science and technology enterprise.
	Provide a voice for science on societal issues.
	You get the idea.
	These guys are completely in cahoots.
	Their outlet is through the Psy line, and if you look at the structure of the AAAS, wouldn't you know it, now he's an American, but with CCP roots, Stephen Chu is the chairman of the board?
	And this whole thing is amazing.
	They have a whole China division called the China Association for Science and Technology.
	This is how it works.
	It comes into the AAAS, it goes to outfits like Sciline, funded by people like Murdoch, to get the packages in your hand, Mr.
	and Mrs.
	Media, and they clearly have power because the same people were allowed to put this crap on primetime afternoon viewing on MSNBC. There's power there.
	I wonder about that.
	I will question this basic...
	I mean, I think you nailed it, except that I think that you're missing one element about this power.
	Okay.
	Over the years, the news media folk, I believe, have gotten so lazy, and they're all coming out of these journalism schools, and they don't have Rolodexes, and they never pulled down the Rolodex from their buddy that they replaced.
	The science journalist that's been there for 25 years, and...
	He's got his own contact list that he would call up and say, hey, what do you think about this?
	What do you think about that?
	And they would give you the quote.
	Now they've got what you said is a motherlode of quotable people that have high credentials, all at one number that you can count on.
	And this is, by the way, a big deal.
	There's a lot of...
	I remember when Adam Osborne was promoting his computers.
	He used to say to the people that worked under him that...
	If anybody from the media calls me, interrupt whatever I'm doing.
	I will give anyone a quote at any time.
	And he got called a lot.
	Of course.
	Because if you're working on a story, you have a deadline.
	It's probably today.
	It's probably at 4 o'clock.
	You got...
	You call this guy, you call that guy, you call this guy.
	Nobody calls you back in time for a day or two.
	But if you've got a motherload of people that you know for a fact will call you back because you call the main line and say, I need a quote from so-and-so about such and such, they will call you back in five minutes.
	So this is what constitutes the news.
	Well, you played right into a next sequence, which I was going to save, but I think it's more than necessary now.
	The Council on Foreign Relations, we consider that to be one big drinking club.
	People hanging around, telling stories, jacking each other off.
	Yeah, but they're all globalists and they promote that amongst themselves.
	And amongst the membership is a very high level of journos or news models.
	Aaron Burnett...
	Yamiche, I believe.
	Yamiche is CFR. Stacey Abrams is...
	She's not news, but Stacey Abrams.
	So the CFR club, it's like you get to go into the club.
	It's very cool.
	And you get to drink and hang out.
	What's interesting is they, with the Rona lockdown, they're doing things a little differently.
	They're doing webinars.
	And they put a webinar...
	I don't know if they put it online or if it was someone who captured it.
	It's a Zoom call.
	You know, what is it, 15 or 20 boxes?
	The title of this call, Local Journalist Webinar for Disinformation and the Election 2020.
	This was led by a guy named...
	Peter Schaefer.
	And Peter Schaefer...
	I don't know if I... I think I put his bio in here.
	But not Peter.
	Brett Schaefer.
	I'm sorry.
	Brett Schaefer is the Alliance for Securing Democracy's Media and Digital Disinformation Fellow.
	He's a fellow.
	So he knows what's going on.
	And he is going to teach...
	Local reporters how to handle this information in this election.
	So this is exactly the kind of people you're talking about.
	These are people with...
	They don't have big national resources.
	They're doing stuff locally.
	And I think what we're seeing here is some beautiful instruction.
	Let's kick it off with the first little lesson here.
	I'm not a huge fan, frankly, of debunking things in general because I think you're right.
	I don't think it's particularly effective.
	I've had this issue a bit with...
	Twitter and Facebook fact-checking politicians, for example.
	And I think the context matters.
	But, you know, when Trump...
	And a paid advertisement is very different.
	But if the president puts something out that is probably false, I'm not sure the benefit necessarily of Facebook labeling that as false, because I think it just...
	By the way, one of the rare, rare tards in the wild who a male vocal fry, which is interesting and refreshing to hear...
	The people who know it's false aren't going to be—that's not going to kind of further convince them, and it's probably going to drive his supporters kind of further away from the platform.
	So I am less a fan of debunking than I am of pre-bunking the information space around Twitter.
	John, he's teaching them to pre-bunk the information space.
	So I am less a fan of debunking than I am of pre-bunking the information space around certain topics.
	So around the election, for example, if there are changes to the date, the time, how you can vote...
	Of flooding the information space with accurate information in advance, sort of anticipating what some of the disinformation narratives can be, and getting out ahead of them, as opposed to continually to point out the thousand different disinformation fires, which is like...
	It's too much stuff.
	It would suck up all of your time.
	You wouldn't cover anything else.
	And I don't think it's particularly effective, again, because all of the research has shown, actually, that by pointing to something that is false that somebody already believes, you tend to reaffirm, actually, their beliefs and the false statements.
	So, It's sort of a rambling answer for you.
	It's a case-by-case basis, because I do think sometimes a narrative is salient enough that it has to be covered for those who are able to be convinced.
	We always talk about sort of the fence-sitters, like the people who are deep into the conspiracy theory world.
	Like, they're a bit lost.
	I'm more concerned about the high school student who's running a generic Google search, and the top thing that pops up for them is a disinfo narrative.
	One of the things we pointed out is just how effective the Russians are at getting their content in front of people, which I can talk about in a bit with Data Void.
	Data Void.
	Okay.
	Is this the job of journalists to pre-bunk stuff?
	The job of journalists is to report...
	It's called a reporter.
	There's a story breaking.
	You go and you report on it so the public knows what's going on.
	I don't know what he's talking about.
	He's talking about...
	Well, what I believe is happening in this webinar and what I believe has happened to local journalism in general is they've become outposts of an information army It's pre-bunking everything.
	And as you listen to this next clip, it dawned on me the entire reason that journalists have blue check marks on Twitter.
	And how many times...
	Now, you're a verified person.
	You were one of the first ones.
	And you've got 60,000, 70,000 followers, of course.
	You are a journalist.
	How many?
	101,000?
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	And dropping.
	But you are a journalist.
	You are considered to be legit.
	Adam Curry, of course, can never get a checkmark.
	And boy, did we try for a while.
	Well, I want to stop you there because here's the deal.
	Here's the deal.
	When they started these checkmarks, the checkmark idea was to verify the fact that you are the famous, quasi-famous, or noteworthy person.
	Yes.
	This was legit.
	You were Adam Curry of MTV, the guy who was on television, who was the president of Mevio, who did all these different things.
	You were a real, legitimate person.
	That was the reason for the checkmark.
	Originally.
	Originally.
	Now, if you look at the checkmark...
	You never got a checkmark during that era either.
	Because somebody...
	I'm going to say this because it's a known fact.
	Somebody at Twitter hates you.
	Period.
	No.
	Yes.
	I'll tell you what it is.
	Somebody at Twitter never wants me to be involved in the following scenario.
	So this is maybe a good time to talk very briefly about data voids because I think it's really important.
	So the concept of a data void...
	Essentially what that means is the search engines work really, really well when there's a lot of credible information on a topic and you run a query and it's going to give you something reliable most of the time.
	So if you run a query on, you know, World War II history, it's going to take you most of the time to a credible site.
	If there is a lack of credible information, the search engine still works to give you whatever is available.
	And so disinformation operators understand this, so they target these data voids where there's a low amount of information to push out false narratives.
	And they're very, very savvy about this.
	I mean, white nationalists have exploited this for years in ways that are frankly...
	I mean, I'm careful about using this term, but like fairly sophisticated.
	So they'll misspell things like Holocaust in post because they know that, you know, one out of every 20 users, when they type it into a Google search, will have a typo in there.
	And if they have a typo, you're now getting like Stormfront as your number one source of material on Holocaust information.
	So, there's constantly the ways bad actors, and again, the Russians are amazing at this, sort of carpet bomb search queries that are important to them and flood the zone.
	So, when people search for it, when they're looking for good information, so these are not the conspiracy theorists who are sort of deep, deep, deep into their own kind of web of weirdness on 4chan and Reddit.
	These are when I'm talking about the, like, 15 or 16-year-old who's writing a report for school or someone who just wants to know where do I vote.
	The need to kind of flood that information space with credible information because it actually works on the back end with the algorithms as well.
	Because, like, Google knows, you know, as a local reporter you're credible.
	If you put out enough stuff there, it will serve up your content at the top.
	If Google knows that you're credible, how does Google know that you're credible?
	You have a checkmark.
	90% of the blue checks on Twitter are local journos, web journos, people from The Verge who have 3,000 followers.
	Now you know why.
	When they send something to the data void, Google knows it's okay.
	That's what this is about, and that's why I don't have one.
	Yeah, I'm not buying this.
	Okay.
	I'm thinking it's much worse, but you don't have to buy it.
	Here is New York Times former deputy editor, Carla Robbins.
	And she says, hey, you were the blue checkmark.
	Well, she didn't say that exactly.
	I'm adding that.
	You actually have a job to do!
	When you were talking about this sort of community void, because politicians are failing or flailing at this point, I mean, this is a role for journalism.
	And the same way we have had in the past sort of hotlines, you know, tell us about your local rug cleaning company that ripped you off.
	I mean, this is something I know that we've all got limited resources, but it would seem to me that if people feel like they're not getting adequate information or they're getting...
	Disinformation or they're getting something that they're confused by, you know, tweet your local newspaper and say, is it true that they moved my local voting place?
	Is it true that they've changed the date of the primary?
	And even by doing the outreach to your local community and saying to them...
	Come to us if you're confused.
	Be on the alert for this sort of information or this sort of disinformation or this sort of gap or lack of information.
	A, you shame your local officials because you can't really point out the gap.
	And B, you play what is the most fundamental role of journalism.
	I just want to check.
	The most fundamental role in journalism is shaming local politicians?
	And tweeting?
	No.
	Again, this is a system.
	This is a structure.
	I don't know what she's talking about.
	Do you really not understand?
	She's saying...
	She's saying that everybody...
	Look, if I have a problem...
	For example, with my polling place, I just go to the county site.
	I go to my city site.
	She's talking to journalists.
	Local journalists, your job is to shame your local politicians and tweet the New York Times to make sure they know.
	You're the hotline.
	That's the essential job of journalism, she just said.
	She's a raving lunatic.
	That's why she was probably fired.
	I'm just saying that there was a lot of local journalists nodding their heads going, yes, yes, yes.
	One last clip.
	One last clip.
	I'll convince you yet.
	So the one thing about having local reporters monitoring their own space is a way of, you know, people in the community who are not getting accurate information to go to local reporters.
	One of the things that's also important there is escalating that then to the platforms themselves.
	A lot of this just sort of...
	If it's at the local level, sort of sits below the radar of kind of rising to the level of getting Twitter and Facebook to take action, which they will in the election context, if there's misinformation or disinformation about how, when, and where to vote, that absolutely violates their terms of service, and they will take that down quickly if they see it.
	And so one of the problems is there's, again, so much stuff out there that they have a problem, I think, sifting through the millions There's supposed to be brown shirts, little NS beers, little collaborators, little narcs.
	Journalists.
	Well, no wonder they can't have to go to the Sci-Fi Group or whatever the name of that company is to get a quote.
	They're spending too much time on Twitter.
	It's a structure.
	This is why the Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, they're messaging systems.
	They're nothing more or less than just messaging systems.
	And that's why everything gets taken.
	Facebook is now removing...
	This is so funny.
	Let's see.
	We have Facebook.
	Where the hell is it?
	They're removing any, any, any photograph that's blackface.
	So they are, if you're Al Jolson, you're deplatformed.
	You're dead, but you're deplatformed, basically.
	There was something else that I read about Twitter doing something like that.
	But yeah, it's just completely shutting everything down.
	So if somebody wants to know what blackface is, by example, what do they do?
	Where do they go?
	Well, I don't know.
	How long will it be until Google takes up the same action and removes all photographs of blackface?
	Also, any photograph, any caricatures, anything like resembles a Jew with a hooked nose, that'll also be taken away.
	Now we're getting into political caricature.
	Of course, it's all hate speech.
	Whatever that is, it's all hate speech.
	But that's the level that it's going down to.
	Not on the No Agenda show.
	No, and I would like to tell you more about the Shadowgate video, which ties right into this topic, and we will do that.
	After I say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in China's Belt and Road, John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kerr.
	Also, in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	Yo, in the morning to all of the trolls in lateral room.
	Let me do a troll count.
	Hands up, trolls!
	We have 1751.
	We're 49 short of a normal day, so that kind of goes in line with the Zephyr.
	Slow, eight cars, and nothing else going.
	Good to have you here.
	NoagendaStream.com is where everyone hangs out during the live show, but it's a place to visit 24 hours a day.
	I'm in it almost all the time, at least logged in.
	And we have a stream that plays simultaneously, and you can listen to live shows, podcasts, no interruptions, no commercials.
	It's all value for value.
	And while you're in there, hit up Doug, ask for an invite to No Agenda Social.
	NoagendaSocial.com, which you can only really get to through an invite, is our federated social network based on Mastodon, where the signal-to-noise ratio is so good, even John C. Dvorak has essentially left tweeting on Twitter to join the Federation.
	Yeah, Twitter's no good.
	And then, thanks to our...
	I've noticed that, you know, Twitter was good in its first early iterations.
	I've said it on the show before, I'll say it again.
	When you used to go on Twitter and you say I had like 20,000 followers, I would send a link or I'd do something and you could find ways of tracking these things.
	And you would get about 10% of the people that click on it or do something or follow up.
	Now that you have 100,000, and say that total was, I don't know, 700 people.
	If you do it now with 100,000 followers, you don't get to 700 anymore.
	You get like two.
	It's useless.
	Well, there's reasons for that.
	One is, it's not a messaging system for you.
	Don't have to go into that again.
	But also, I think the algorithms are geared towards, and that's really what Shadowgate is about, which we'll talk about.
	So that could explain some of your own issues with it.
	Well, I don't care.
	I just went to Macedon.
	I get the good response.
	And sure, there's not that many people there.
	It's just a fraction, but it's a strong fraction that actually does stuff.
	Yeah, and there's no algos messing with your head all the time.
	Right.
	It just kind of works.
	In the morning, to our artist for episode, what was that, 1268...
	That was Jordan 33.
	Jordan 33 has won this top position before.
	Very simple piece.
	Very elegant.
	New World Order 2020 with the E, the Biden E, and three stars on each side of this sign signifying 33, of course.
	Everyone who's in the know saw that.
	Just a great piece.
	Simple and workable.
	Was there anything else that we were talking about that should be reviewed?
	We found there was nothing there.
	We couldn't find anything and then identified this piece as the one that would actually work and it was clean and it was nice and it worked.
	Yeah, I'm trying to see if there was...
	There wasn't really any competition, to be honest about it.
	But I did get a kick out of something.
	What did you get a kick out of?
	Well, you had the...
	We posted the wrong show number initially.
	Yes.
	But anyone who looks at the site knows which show is coming up.
	So after the show was over, and a pre-art for the stream, for today's show, a really good piece was done by our friend Comic Strip Blogger.
	But because he got confused, he put No Agenda 1268 for today's show, which is 1269.
	I would have actually used this art for the newsletter.
	But he got his number wrong.
	And that was the Kamala and...
	Kamala and Joe?
	Which piece of art was it?
	Common Strip Bloggers piece we're talking about, right?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Which piece was that?
	It's the one that says 1268.
	Yeah, it was Joe and Kamala.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He's got the wrong number.
	Well, it was the...
	Well, first of all...
	Yeah, you're right.
	It was pre-art for 1268, I guess.
	No.
	Well, no.
	It was pre-art for 1269, but because of the confusion with the numbering.
	I see.
	Okay.
	That was my fault, by the way.
	It was one small thing.
	It was only in the RSS feed, but that was enough to mess people up.
	Yeah.
	Apologies.
	So I was highly amused by this.
	I wanted to use that piece of art for the newsletter, but it said 1268 on it, which is, I don't know.
	Okay.
	I'll take the blame.
	I'll take the blame for that one.
	Now, there was a piece above that, which is submitted for today's show.
	And I would like you to explain the gag here.
	This is the one, it's just above that piece.
	It says Fossier.
	What is that?
	What does that refer to?
	Fossier?
	Fauci or Fauci?
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	That's Frasier Crane.
	You didn't know I... Fossier.
	As in Frasier, is that a Frasier?
	Yeah, I know.
	It doesn't quite work.
	No.
	No.
	Anyway, as you can tell, there's so much that comes in, so much, and it's all valuable.
	Every single piece is valuable.
	Anybody can go take a look at this, and anybody can do stuff with this art.
	Please consider that, just like the No Agenda Shop guys did, who just, I don't know, they were doing something in life, and they started the No Agenda Shop, and they licensed, by splitting the revenue with the artists, to put it on t-shirts, mugs, hats, etc., gaiters, masks.
	And they kick us some money from time to time as well.
	So it's a really good value-for-value deal.
	I hope you go check it out for the artwork, but also you can print them out, put them on your wall.
	And the competition continues.
	We love you, artists.
	You are providing great value.
	It makes all the difference when we have different artwork.
	It's proven because it was in the Mueller Report as part of our Best Podcast Nomaker.
	And that's noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Let's take a look at the value received through financial means from our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1,269.
	Matt Decker's on top.
	He's on deck.
	Yeah, upper deck.
	$500.
	Dakota Dune, South Dakota.
	By the way, they are playing the baseball season.
	I should mention this, because you said Upper Decker.
	The Oakland A's are the leading team in all of baseball.
	And my theory is it's because it's the only team that is comfortable playing to an empty stands.
	Did Marty write that for you?
	No, I wrote it myself because I follow this team.
	They're used to this.
	That's good.
	Very good.
	That's better than my upper-decker.
	Matt writes, this donation comes from the Siouxland Meetup and brings me to Knighthood, counting below.
	I would like to be known as Sir Matt...
	Decker and would like cigars and scotch at the round table.
	I think they're on there already.
	Could I get a roll out for the shape-shifting Jews?
	And I would really like a jobs karma.
	A Siouxland meetup report, meanwhile.
	It happened yesterday, 8-15 in Sioux City.
	The meetup was a great success.
	The meetup produced a night and Kyle something, Nordathon, I guess.
	Oh, wow.
	Go ahead.
	Became not a douchebag.
	We had seven people in total with five from the Sioux City area and two driving in from Omaha.
	We had a...
	Burgers and hot dogs in the park and enjoy the company of like-minded people while taking in the beautiful weather.
	We plan to host another event in the near future.
	So it sounds like there's at least a de-douching in order for at least somebody.
	You've been de-douched.
	And it's only 20 seconds, but if you don't mind, I'll play their Siouxland Meetup Report.
	This is Brittany, and we are at the Siouxland Meetup in Sioux City.
	It's Matt Decker.
	I'm not a douchebag.
	This is Sir Vlad of the Midlands in the morning.
	Sir Bernie Adama from Hinton, Iowa.
	Adama!
	David from Omaha.
	Sit up already, it's science.
	This is Janet from Sioux City in the morning.
	This is Carl from Omaha.
	I'm a douchebag.
	Well, there you go.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I love those reports.
	Here's what you requested, man.
	Roll up, roll up with a battle shape-shifting tune.
	Step right this way. Roll up, roll up with a shape-shifting tune.
	You've got karma. .
	you you All right, now we have an anomaly here.
	We have John Lucas from El Dorado Hills, California, 334.56, and his note is you number one.
	Yes.
	It's not an anomaly.
	Well, it's going to be one after I read his email.
	Okay.
	He says, since you're into the whole brevity thing and three characters, the shortest ever donation note, is it?
	Excluding donations with no notes attached.
	So, this negates the fact that he wrote this, the note itself, as being the shortest, because now it's no longer the shortest.
	And he got us to talk three times as long about it.
	Well done, sir.
	Well played, John.
	Thank you very much.
	Yes, you're hashtag one.
	Nice.
	You're number one.
	You're number one, man.
	Thank you.
	So it's somewhat racist sounding.
	Glenn Ashbrook in Alexandria, Virginia, 333.33.
	Please accept my first donation to No Agenda Podcast in support of the show 1269.
	I was hit in the mouth by a friend and co-worker a few months ago and have listened to every episode since.
	I don't think my friend Bobby the Catafarian has yet donated, so he needs to be called out as a douchebag.
	Your podcast is an oasis of reasonable discussion on the desert of the current media landscape.
	Please add my beautiful wife Ying to the birthday list as hers is on 17th of August.

	Harm us.
	Alex Trapp, 333.33.
	I bet I'd get to this right.
	Read the note correctly.
	Attention, humans!
	The time is nigh to awaken.
	What is your role in this present struggle?
	You are tasked by God to protect life.
	Stewards of a priceless jewel, Earth.
	You can ignore this no longer.
	You are responsible.
	May love and light be your tools.
	Let the plants show you the way.
	Let the plants show you the way.
	I think he meant planets, maybe?
	He said plants.
	You read it right.
	That's from Alex.
	Thank you very much, Alex.
	Sir...
	Boccevici.
	Boccevici in Miami, Florida.

	Just donated.
	He writes, please credit Joe Salishauer.
	Oh, okay.
	So we have to move his name there.
	We'll move him over there.
	He's a true friend.
	True friends are rare because they're always your bannerman without asking.
	Please play Shapeshifting Jew.
	What a coincidence.
	That doesn't happen often.
	Nope.
	Nope.
	Unless they're in cahoots.
	And go on.
	You step right this way.
	Roll up.
	Roll up for the shapes and the views.
	You've got karma.
	Caleb Kniffin.
	In Grain Valley, Missouri, 244.17, was a listener in 2009.
	The highlight for me was episode, but he went overboard.
	The highlight was episode 112, the Vivek Kundra hollowed neck.
	Oh my gosh, that's a long time ago.
	A good friend of mine brings that episode up all the time.
	I return to the show in early 2017 for obvious reasons.
	I'm excited to become a knight for my 33rd birthday on the 18th.
	Would love to be knighted, Sir Nifty.
	Standard spread at the round table.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Gosh, that's so long ago.
	Wasn't that one of the first times we really started making fun of this Indian tech type dude?
	And he was talking about, we have dashboards and a holodeck!
	Something like that.
	It was really weird.
	No, this was the, what was the thing that you spotted?
	Was the jump cut?
	Or what was it?
	Was some term from...
	Skip logic.
	Skip logic.
	We should employ skip logic.
	We need to do that to improve things.
	Skip logic.
	Skip logic.
	You notice it was the way a script is written for...
	For Joe.
	For Joe.
	He needs a skip logic script.
	Well, he's already skipped logic.

	You're on the list.
	Yes.
	Sir Jimmy James of Oklahoma City.
	Okay.
	$200.
	ITM, our teachers are now set to be on the front lines of the pandemic.
	And with this misinformation campaign going on, how can we blame them for being scared?
	I know one teacher, yay meetups, that is proud to make that personal sacrifice for our future.
	Our children will be running things.
	And I feel they are our future and our teachers have one of the most important jobs in the world from my perspective.
	Thank you for your courage and in honor of the Sir Anonymous Dame Drive, I am making a donation toward Cassidy of Okie Town.
	Zach, you didn't say you wanted to be a dame, otherwise half would have been going to you.
	Okay, okay, enough jokes, goat karma for all, no jingles necessary.
	What I'd like to do, since Sir Jimmy James hosted a meet-up and sent in a 16-second meet-up report, let's play it here.
	All right, Jimmy James on the scene right here at the Okie Town meet-up.
	I'm about to throw this mic around the stage.
	Tell them who it is.
	Hey, this is Zach.
	In the morning.
	In the morning with Cody!
	I don't know.
	Yay for meet-ups!
	Yay, this is Robbie in the morning.
	And that right there is the Okie Town meet-up.
	I mean, that's a meet-up, man.
	I'm going to throw this mic around on the stage.
	Jimmy James, everybody, thank you very much.
	Here you go.
	You've got karma.
	Nicely done.
	And last on our list is Anonymous and Lake Oswego.
	200 bucks.
	He sent a note in.
	You might want to cue up the jingle for him.
	Go podcasting.
	Gentlemen, greetings from Oregon, and please keep this offering anonymous.

	Please accept this $200, and my sincere wishes that you both keep on keeping on, and that this podcasting gig be lucrative enough to become its own exit strategy.
	2020 has surely been a shite year for a lot of folks.

	There you go.
	And that's our group of executive and associate executive producers for show 1269.
	I want to thank each and every one of them for making this thing happen.
	Yeah, thanks for people jumping in.
	I know John's note said that we're struggling.
	Well, we're squeaking by.
	That was nice of you.
	Thank you so much.
	We need that.
	Because there's no commercials here.
	If we talk about stuff, if there's a product, if we like it or we don't like it, you can always count on full transparency.
	You can even see exactly what came in in the show notes as we just read to you.
	So that is how it works.
	Our producers, executive and associate executive producers, that's why they're there.
	They get the credits just like Hollywood.
	And, of course, you can use those anywhere credits are recognized.
	If you have a No Agenda show credit, if you show an executive producer, you may be able to get on primetime afternoon on MSNBC. Everyone seems to be able to do it.
	So, thank you all so much, and we'll be thanking more people above $50 later on in the show.
	If you'd like to support us for the Thursday episode, which I'm sure will be a doozy, All you have to do is go here.
	That's right, everybody.
	We got more coming up from Milli Vanilli.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	I'd like to mention that the term shut up slave has now been entered into the Urban Dictionary.
	Thank you.
	It does not mention us, which it should not.
	I don't feel that's appropriate, but it is a definition, sarcastic phrase, when used as something affects citizens or workers and they can't do anything about it.
	It has nothing to do with the United States' unfortunate historical exploitation of African immigrants and their children.
	The person using the phrase is included in the group of slaves.
	Thanks, Omni Dave, for adding that for us.
	Somebody wrote that out.
	Of course he did.
	He told us.
	He told us about it.
	It's a pretty good definition.
	So, Shadowgate.
	Shadowgate.
	Shadowgate.
	This was very interesting what happened.
	Well, you better go back a little bit and tell people what you're going to talk about.
	Isn't that what I'm starting off?
	Shadowgate?
	You're starting right in the middle.
	Shadowgate!
	It's the top.
	It's the title.
	It's the title.
	Shadowgate.
	Okay, well you just said Shadowgate.
	You didn't say it was the title of anything.
	I want you to introduce Millie Vanilli or whatever her name is.
	Yeah, I'm gonna do it all.
	Simmer down, Donna Summer.
	Shadowgate is what it's called.
	But it starts with Millennial Millie, who does video reports.
	And she's a millennial, but I think she's 30, early 30s, so she is a millennial.
	I think she's an old millennial.
	Yeah, she's on the upper edge.
	She lives in Ohio.
	And she has been a contractor for Infowars for quite a while, I think.
	Five years at least, maybe, something like that.
	And she does pieces.
	She does pieces in Austin, but also in Ohio.
	And she puts stuff together.
	I'm not exactly sure, but she's basically a contractor.
	And it is tagged as Millennial Millie.
	Her name is Millie Weaver.
	We've had clips from her before.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I like her.
	I think she's very entertaining.
	I think she's very talented.
	Very talented.
	Very good.
	So she came out with a...
	It was billed as a quote-unquote documentary.
	About an hour and 20 minutes, and it was titled, What They Don't Want You to See.
	Did you see it at all, John?
	No.
	Well, it was on Twitter.
	Of course, it was said to be censored on Twitter.
	I don't know what that means because I didn't see the other version.
	And I watched the beginning of it.
	It's all the kind of stuff that we've kind of talked about.
	She does have a lot of new stuff she digs up.
	She has a funny way of going about things and looking at things.
	But I didn't watch the whole thing because I figured you were going to review it and I didn't want to be stepping all over that review.
	So it's about an hour and 20 minutes long.
	It is not a documentary.
	It's a long-form video piece.
	Narrated, which is built around an interview with Tori.
	Now, Tori, we've played a clip from Tori before, a while back on the show.
	She was a contractor for government security services, and apparently, I don't believe it, but her NDA has expired, which I don't think is a thing, but okay.
	And she's felt very comfortable.
	I've had NDAs that expire.
	In fact, I've insisted on it.
	But from the intelligence industry?
	And the type of stuff she talks about, you might need some classification.
	That doesn't expire, we know.
	Sounds dubious, yeah.
	But she's very entertaining.
	We played clips of her about Seth Rich, and she knows so much.
	And she and a guy named Patrick...
	I forget his last name for a second.
	Now, he also worked at security service intelligence agencies.
	Now, he's had a book out about this.
	So everything he said was not really new.
	And the reason I say it's not really a documentary is because It was kind of bothersome, but I just tried to relax and not pay attention to it.
	There's a lot of B-roll stock footage, some of which I've used in the past for pitch videos.
	It's people walking in offices, screens, close-ups, Matrix-like stuff.
	A lot of filler to overlay the story, and the story is very compelling.
	I'm just going to give you the synopsis, which is quite interesting.
	It talks about, well, it leads into it properly, and they do quite a good job.
	It's so dense.
	Tina, who knows a lot about this stuff, she said she couldn't quite follow it.
	So I think they packed too much in, and the visuals didn't always correlate to what they were saying because it was stock footage.
	But otherwise, it was not a chore to watch through it.
	When Brennan, John Brennan, CIA, when he left government before he came back in, which was, where did he leave?
	Because he went out for a while.
	Yeah, I can look it up.
	He became involved in the true military-industrial complex, which is what these two interviewees are talking about, which is contractors.
	And we know this, of course.
	There's probably one or...
	Maybe even 2 million people in the United States who have high security clearance because contractors are the ones that really run everything.
	Everything is farmed out and that's why you have this revolving door of Homeland Security and CIA and NSA going out and doing well.
	You have like the Chertoff Group and they do all the scanners, body scanners and crap for contractors.
	You know, the L3 company for airports, after they make sure that everyone's afraid and we got to have them, then they go into private practice and they make it happen.
	So Brennan was also running a collection of these groups, really above all of them.
	And there's names and there's documents and there's clear trails.
	And these are the companies that we hear about all the day, all the time.
	He left government service for a few years and became CEO of the Analyst Corporation, TAC. Yes, TAC. The Analyst Corporation.
	Continued to lead TAC after its acquisition by Global Strategies Group in 2007 and growth as a global intelligence solutions division of Global's North American technology business, GTEC. Before returning to government service with the Obama administration as Homeland Security Advisor in January 2009.
	Once everything was in place.
	So you have to think of these companies that were under tack Such as Clearview AI. Clearview AI is the company that has scraped hundreds of millions of pictures and has created a facial recognition database.
	So they're one of the people who are contracted.
	Really a lot of these marketing-like companies that get location data, get other marketing data, you know, data brokers.
	They combine data from credit card purchase, etc., to build up a profile of people.
	And so the TAC Corporation was working, or I don't know if they were contracting or what the exact structure is, but they have all of these different groups who are aggregating this data and creating profiles of each person.
	Which is just like the marketing guys do.
	Except they went one step further because they are intelligence agencies and clearly this is all...
	I mean, just look at Snowden, how wishy-washy this all was.
	If you recall when we did the first Hot Pockets tour, one of our dames who actually lent me the original vehicle to do that tour...
	She was a sysadmin for the drones, and she was telling us that...
	Well, we knew way before anyone else that the communications weren't encrypted.
	She left to do another job.
	The person who came in after her, she was just told to just write the root password down, put it on a Post-it note.
	I mean, this kind of shit's going on.
	So there's a lot of compromise and a lot of room for people to do stuff.
	So instead of selling ads...
	They're looking at people, what they do, where they go, building profiles to start personalizing harassment.
	And this type of harassment is what you see with the egg people with three followers on Twitter.
	So they will find targets who have the right amount of followers or the right followers, and they'll go in because they know that, well, let's see, maybe they know your mom died of coronavirus.
	So these accounts will then start to antagonize you.
	Ah, man, it's only old people.
	To get you mad, to get you to react, and then they bring in other people.
	So they are, in effect, completely manipulating people.
	This is what the Russians are being accused of.
	It's these people who are doing it.
	And the reason why this is happening, as the video explains, which we know, is because of the Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012, which was kind of tucked away in the National Defense Authorization Act.
	And the Smith-Munt Modernization Act made it legal for the U.S. government to propagandize online, which we already do with Voice of America and different types of media properties overseas.
	But because the Internet is so connected, it's so complicated, we have to be able to allow for it to accidentally happen in America, even though we're all targeting it towards evil Russia and whatever else.
	And specifically in that it said they can do this on social media networks.
	In addition to that, these are the guys and gals who also have access to devices.
	Because, you know, this is the true deep state intelligence agency.
	They can get a little bit more or maybe do a little bit more.
	They already have most of what they need, but this is where I'll play the one and only clip from the video piece from Millie Weaver.
	The 2012 changes to the Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012 opened the floodgates for domestic IIA, social media influence operations.
	Do you think that some of these smart devices were created in order to gain access to the public by the military industrial complex?
	I know that the iPhone really was released within, if not the same month, of the IIA policy letter.
	I know for a fact, and you can easily look it up, that the Smith-Munt Act Modernization Act was modified to allow for the influence, dissemination of propaganda to Americans, which had previously been restricted or prevented by the Smith-Munt Act in the late 40s when it was put into place.
	When they modernized that, they took away those protections, allowing it to adapt for social media.
	And then within a few months or just a very short period of time, they came out with the Obama phone.
	Everybody in Cleveland, low minority got Obama phones!
	Keep Obama in president, you know?
	He gave us a phone.
	Free cell phones to low-income families.
	TrackPhone has just started a program here in the volunteer state called SafeLink Wireless.
	More than 800,000 families here in Tennessee qualify for these phones.
	The company says this program is about providing a safe link for families no matter what their level of income is.
	Very short time after that, they added free unlimited data plans to them.
	He also suggested that the contiguous release of the Obamaphone with an unlimited data plan played a significant role in fostering the Ferguson riots using IAA. So, that's a pretty big accusation, but I like it a lot.
	Especially since the outfit that provided the Obama phone was called TrackPhone.
	Jeez.
	Like, we don't understand that joke.
	Well, TrackPhone's been around.
	It's a Mexican company.
	I know.
	But it's one of those wink-wink, nudge-nudge.
	So, what it really added to what we already know is that apparently contractors are out there doing what they're accusing the Russians of.
	And they can even do it a little bit more, apparently, with poor communities who have received the Obama phone.
	And it could be a part of stirring stuff up.
	Very possible.
	Here's where the gate part comes in.
	Right after they upload it, Millie and her husband are arrested in Ohio on what was continuously said a secret indictment, which I don't think exists, a sealed indictment, it might be.
	And they're still in jail.
	And that's when the conspiracy kind of went nuts about, they're trying to stop her to upload it, it's horrible, you know, this is the, they're gonna, she's been disappeared, disappeared!
	The truth is actually more interesting.
	So I know a lot of the crew at Infowars because we're here in Austin, so I know some of the producers, and this was all produced in Ohio, except the interviews were done right after the 4th of July, and Alex, if you look at, and that's another thing that bothered me when I looked at the documentary, You can clearly tell the interviews that are done were not done by Millie.
	They made some essential television mistakes, I feel, by having her angled too far off the axis for the insert questions.
	But it was Alex Jones who did the original interviews, and according to my sources...
	He was unprepared, didn't really do a good job.
	It took longer for them than anticipated to put this thing together.
	They kept finding crazy stuff they wanted to put in.
	They would have taken stuff out, such as 5G smart cities, West Africa, beta tests for international police.
	One thing stuck out to me that didn't make it in...
	Hillary Clinton's help from Google's Eric Schmidt, known as Operation the Groundwork.
	And, excuse me, so they're really putting the whole piece together where the existing material was already done.
	And their only goal of this piece, according to the producer I know, was to be in a position to get these so-called whistleblowers in front of Congress.
	That was the only mission, which, you know, it's like, okay, who's political here?
	All right, fine.
	What we don't know, and is now coming to light thanks to some posts from her mother, Is that she's being held on a number of charges in this so-called sealed indictment that has been in contact with the Ohio police, and it's for destruction of documents.
	Burglary and for domestic abuse.
	And that's what set me off, like, hold on a second, what's going on?
	Why is there a domestic abuse of charge?
	And who really filed this?
	And what, if you want to stop somebody from uploading a documentary to YouTube, apparently it wouldn't upload to YouTube, which is one of those things, like, They blocked it.
	They couldn't upload.
	Maybe.
	Maybe it's just a temporary thing.
	What they did is they then sent it through WeSendIt or YouSendIt or WeTransfer to Alex Jones right at the moment they were arrested.
	So is this because the shadow government, the deep state, wants to disappear Millie and her husband?
	No.
	It's more interesting.
	Millie's mother is a Democratic operative insider in Hollywood, California.
	It is my belief that she has, I think, two daughters.
	She is a star maker type person.
	I don't have enough information on her, but I know that she has put out some...
	Did you get her name?
	Yes, it's Francis McCarron, M-C-C-A-R-R-O-N. From what I understand, she and Millie have had a lot of issues, which makes sense,
	because this mom clearly has Trump derangement syndrome, and one of her beautiful daughters, who she would much rather be successful in Hollywood, whereas we know, according to John Legend, that's where all the creative people are, and they are, of course, Democrats.
	They're Democrats.
	No, she's clearly a crazy Trump person, and she's doing this documentary.
	Millie is a lovely girl, and she's at her mom's house, and I guess she had some of the documents that she was going to put into the production, and her mom starts taking pictures with her phone of those documents.
	Which, according to my sources, were not stolen or anything like that.
	Millie then takes her phone, throws on the ground, stomps on it, smashes it, grabs her stuff, and leaves.
	Her mom then filed a complaint.
	Against burglary, destruction of property, theft of documents, and domestic abuse.
	And it's the one thing that we know at law enforcement is there's a domestic abuse situation.
	Someone's got to go.
	So Millie and her husband were taken.
	And her mom now, I don't seem to be able to find it.
	It may have been taken off.
	She posted on, I only saw a picture of Instagram, that she didn't mean for this to happen.
	She actually called the police back and said, please don't arrest them.
	I just want the complaints in.
	And now I can't call.
	I can't change anything until Monday.
	They can't drop the charges until Monday.
	So her mom had her arrested.
	Probably because her mom did not like what was going on, did not like perhaps the inference of some connection to Hillary Clinton.
	She may be a Clintonista, I'm not sure.
	Other people in Hollywood, as we know, Millie, it's very easy to talk about the pedos in Hollywood.
	And she tried to stop it and it kind of blew up with this documentary out there.
	But to say that the deep state is trying to disappear her?
	No, not at all.
	But in an odd way, yeah, in an odd way, she was stopped by the machine.
	And that, I believe, is Shadowgate.
	Well, I guess.
	It's definitely a story that's misrepresented.
	I like this woman.
	She's funny.
	And if she gets out, she'll be out on Monday or Tuesday, tomorrow or the next day.
	She's a laugh riot.
	It's a good piece.
	If I were to give them any advice, it was less...
	Less stock footage.
	It really distracted.
	I do like what this Tori has to say.
	Stay away from the mom.
	I do like what Tori has to say.
	I'm not quite sure what's up with her.
	If you're telling me, and that's what she told the producers, no, no, my NDAs have expired.
	I can talk about this.
	She talks about a lot of stuff on her podcast, and I think she has a radio show.
	And I know that the police have been harassing her, so I don't know, but I certainly don't think if you're working...
	Look, Snowden had a similar type of job.
	His NDA didn't expire.
	Unless you're still working for him and you're just a disinformation source.
	Right.
	So that's the problem now is that Millie and her husband are being accused of actually that which they were trying to expose is that this is now an operation to make it look like it just piles on and it's not exactly like that.
	But it's a fun piece to watch.
	It certainly does its business.
	That the deep state and these intelligence companies, for commercial and political purposes, are antagonizing people, and this is why noagendasocial.com might be better for you.
	Because I have so many of these people show up, and I'm always told, oh, it's Russian bots, Russian trolls.
	Well, no, maybe it's someone else trying to get Adam Curry pissed off, but it's probably more fun if it's someone with a checkmark.
	Well, we also get a lot of notes from disgruntled listeners.
	And I'm not talking about the more recent ones, but every so often we'll get a bunch of very similar sounding notes out of the blue.
	We'll get three or four of them.
	You look them up, they're not a subscriber, they're not on the mailing list, but there's no evidence they ever give...
	Some of them, there is evidence they've given money, but it's always like some subscription.
	You never know about some of this stuff.
	But, yeah, there's a lot of crap going on.
	Anyway, I do hope Millie and her husband are going to be okay.
	But, you know, domestic abuse charges can be weird.
	But, yeah, stay away from Mom.
	Let's find out about her.
	Let's find out who that lady is.
	I found out nothing looking up Frances McCarron.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's hard.
	So if she's a star maker, you think she'd show up somehow?
	I can look in some other sources.
	Yeah, you should.
	I really just...
	That's what I have.
	I was working on this most...
	I think your theory is correct.
	She's a hillbot or a Trump derangement syndrome maniac.
	She doesn't like the fact that her daughter's out in Ohio.
	With Alex Jones!
	And then she's working with Alex Jones, the devil.
	So, yeah.
	Yeah, okay.
	So what else we got?
	Well, I was hoping you would have something.
	I got plenty.
	Let's do it.
	First of all, let's deconstruct some stories.
	Okay.
	Okay, so the first one I wanted to deconstruct, and it was in the teaser from CBS, and so CBS is pushing, and I'm using the term on purpose, pushing a narrative that Trump is trying to pull the old birth certificate game on camera.
	Yeah, this is good.
	This is good.
	And there's really no evidence of it.
	I mean, he has acted like...
	Somebody asked him in a press conference, and I didn't get the whole thing, and I should have, but to back up this clip I'm going to play, where they say, are you the one pushing this narrative that she's not a natural-born citizen?
	Now, it doesn't take much to figure out that she is.
	She's born in Oakland.
	Boom.
	Maybe she might be an...
	I don't know why they don't call her what she is, which is an anchor baby.
	An American citizen who turns out to be an anchor baby.
	Can I give you the summary of what the question was because I saw it?
	Okay.
	The question was actually much simpler.
	It was, do you think this is true based upon an article that was written in Newsweek, an opinion piece, by a professor who, as it turns out, He has run for a GOP position somewhere.
	Apparently Trump knows him.
	And he actually wrote an opinion, and it's like, okay, you can believe it or not, which Newsweek is now very, very sorry they ever published, as they have apologized.
	In fact, if you go to the article now, it has a big apology on it.
	And if he bought into that, and he really acted dumb, like, no, I don't know what you're talking about, no.
	Well, he said, well, I've heard this, but I don't have any opinion.
	But CBS doesn't care.
	No, of course not.
	They're going to keep pushing and pushing the fact that he's trying to do this and he's a schemer.
	I mean, you've got to make up your minds.
	Either Trump is the dumbest guy in the world or he's an evil schemer.
	They had the same problem with George Bush, George W. Bush.
	On the one hand, he was the dumbest guy in the world, but on the other hand, he was an evil schemer who could think two steps ahead.
	It just makes no sense to me.
	Is it possible that...
	And knowing Trump, that he was totally okay with his professor doing it, and he knew about it, because what the hell?
	Might as well throw that in there.
	It's not really going to hurt him if he's not saying it.
	I think he knew about it.
	I think he thought it would be cool.
	I would guess, if it was me, that he has enough of a sense of humor to not only think it's cool, but to think that the media getting all worked up about it is hilarious.
	Yes, exactly.
	That's my thinking.
	But meanwhile, when they do this, you're going to hear another one of these CBS... This is CBS making something out of nothing, the Kamala Birthright.
	Since Joe Biden named Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, false claims about her eligibility to be on that ticket have surfaced.
	Harris was born in Oakland, California.
	She is an American citizen.
	CBS's Ed O'Keefe is setting that record straight.
	Ready, get set, go.
	At an event alongside Joe Biden officially putting her names on the Democratic ticket, Kamala Harris brushed off questions about the Trump campaign's new constitutional conspiracy.
	Senator Harris, what do you make of President Trump and Republicans attacks on you?
	I'm signing this because I'm in this race to win and with that guy right there.
	The president and his campaign are now publicly stoking a false and racist theory circulating among his supporters.
	Hold on a second.
	Stop it.
	I should have broke this up into a bunch of mini-clips.
	Back it up, and it goes like this.
	It says, there's something about Kamala either denying it.
	They cut to her, and all she's doing is saying, I'm signing this.
	Yeah, it has nothing to do with it.
	Nothing at all.
	And my partner is right over there, Joe Biden.
	So why is this clip being played with the premise that they've given it?
	I mean, listen to the premise they give this clip, and then listen to the clip.
	I think it's pre-bunking.
	Harris brushed off questions about the Trump campaign's new constitutional conspiracy.
	Senator Harris, what do you make of President Trump and Republicans' attacks on you?
	I'm signing this because I am in this race to win, and with that guy right there.
	Oh, well, that's...
	Wait.
	The reporter asked, what do you think of the Trump attacks on you?
	It doesn't say specifically about the birthright thing.
	Exactly.
	And Trump has attacked her.
	Yeah.
	Says she's a big dummy.
	Yeah, phony.
	So he asked, what do you think about the Trump attacks?
	And then she says, I'm just signing this.
	It's got nothing to do with the narrative of this piece.
	Yeah, but it shows she's above it all.
	Yes, it does, but they don't emphasize that, so I don't think they meant that necessarily.
	This race to win, and with that guy right there.
	The president and his campaign are now publicly stoking a false and racist theory circulating among his supporters.
	False and racist.
	Publicly stoking a false and racist.
	Why is it racist?
	Well, hold on.
	First of all, he was publicly stoking because he did something on Twitter.
	So that's where that comes from.
	And racist, I don't know.
	It was a racist when everyone was doing it about Obama.
	I don't know why.
	It's basically saying, I think the racist part comes from, and I've done the work so I know, that person is brown or black.
	Let's question their heritage.
	That's racist.
	Let's back up.
	He did the same thing, as you recall, with your buddy Ted Cruz.
	That's right.
	He was born in Canada.
	He's Canadian.
	He's not even an American.
	He can't do this.
	He can't do that.
	Is that racist, too?
	I mean, you've got to make up your mind.
	Yeah, but his skin is white.
	Well, and how is the narrative racist when it's...
	Are you really asking me to explain how this works?
	No, I'm not.
	I'm just making a fuss.
	Just keep playing the clip.
	You're right, though.
	That's how insane this is.
	Different skin color?
	It's racist.
	That's all that it is.
	...circulating among his supporters that Harris is ineligible to run for vice president.
	I heard it today.
	That she doesn't meet the requirements.
	Years of settled law say otherwise.
	Harris is...
	Sorry, I gotta stop.
	Bullshit.
	That's not true.
	That is not settled.
	It is something that's been discussed for ages.
	They're ant-fucking about, you know, the word, or the words, subject to.
	So it's not, it hasn't been settled, it's accepted.
	That she doesn't meet the requirements.
	Years of settled law say otherwise.
	Harris' parents immigrated from Jamaica and India and weren't citizens when she was born in the United States.
	Experts say her birth in Oakland, California makes her a natural-born citizen, which the Constitution requires for the President.
	Mr.
	Trump, who says he opposes the idea of birthright citizenship, has done this before to Barack Obama.
	Why doesn't he show his birth certificate?
	On CBS this morning, his son-in-law did little to clarify the president's position.
	He just said that he had no idea whether that's right or wrong.
	I don't see that as promoting it.
	But look, at the end of the day, it's something that's out there.
	You accept that she's a qualified candidate.
	I personally have no reason to believe she's not.
	Today, the president said he had no issue with a woman of color running.
	None whatsoever.
	You don't see her as a threat.
	As you know, none whatsoever.
	And appearing at a women's conference at the same time, Harris acknowledged her history making weak.
	Joe Biden had the audacity.
	To choose a black woman to be his running mate.
	How incredible is that?
	Ed O'Keefe, CBS News, Washington.
	I like the audacity.
	Well, the audacity is a reference to Obama.
	But it's also a kind of a racist thing to say in itself.
	In other words, racist Joe had the audacity to pick a black woman.
	She's really not lying when you think about it.
	And it's audacious.
	So, this whole thing, this is a phony story created by the mainstream media to try to embarrass it.
	I don't even know what it does.
	It doesn't work.
	I think it brings attention to her self-identifying as a Blindian.
	That's my new word.
	Blindian.
	Did you get that one from Mo?
	No.
	No, someone else.
	He agrees she's not black, that's for sure.
	She's a Blindian.
	Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
	Let's play the ad for Kamala that was put out by the Trump campaign immediately after she went.
	Because I wanted to play on the last show.
	I think it's pretty funny.
	This is C-SPAN plays the anti-Kamala ad.
	Earlier today, the Trump campaign and the president with this ad released just a few minutes after the announcement officially was made.
	Kamala Harris ran for president by rushing to the radical left, embracing Bernie's plan for socialized medicine, calling for trillions in new taxes, attacking Joe Biden for racist policies.
	Voters rejected Harris.
	They smartly spotted a phony.
	But not Joe Biden.
	He's not that smart.
	Biden calls himself a transition candidate.
	He is handing over the reins to Kamala while they jointly embrace the radical left.
	Slow Joe and phony Kamala.
	Perfect together.
	Wrong for America.
	Did you see the other commercial that came out?
	No, you got it?
	So, I like the way they do their commercials.
	They got a good voice.
	I like the guy's voice.
	Not good for America.
	He sounds like somebody you'd believe.
	Really, the ad wasn't about Camelot at all.
	It was the slip-in.
	Just a little brainwashing technique.
	The little slip-in.
	Slow Joe.
	Joe's not that bright.
	Yeah, and Slow Joe.
	I like that.
	And then call him Slow Joe.
	Slow Joe is dying.
	This is really the target here.
	Joe Biden be slow and dumb.
	They can still say about the left wingers are taking over.
	Oh, the communists are running.
	But no, no, that's a cover for what they're trying to do here.
	Something...
	I was looking at some Joe stuff...
	Actually, I was looking at Greece and Turkey and what's going on there.
	And I stumbled across a video from January 19th.
	This is the New York Times editorial board.
	You know how the editorial boards are all so important and the candidates have to go and they have to be grilled by everybody in the conference room.
	And it doesn't matter what he's saying, but listen to Joe January 2019.
	Sorry, January 19th, 2020.
	And so what I think we should be doing is taking a very different approach to him now, making it clear that we support opposition leadership, making it clear that we are in a position where we have a way in which was working for a while to integrate the Kurdish population who wanted to participate in the process in their parliament, etc., Because we have to speak out about what we in fact think are wrong.
	I think this is 40% better than I've heard Joe speak recently.
	I think something happened.
	Well, uh...
	Something happened.
	Remember he had the big bloodshot eye during the debates?
	Somewhere he had that?
	Yes, during the debates he had the bloodshot eye.
	I think something happened and he's been in the basement.
	Why?
	He was probably recovering.
	This is not the slow Joe that we've seen in the past couple of video bits.
	No, this is the corn pop Joe.
	This is corn pop Joe, exactly.
	Something happened, I think.
	Well, we'll find out because we have to remember, and everyone should know this, that tomorrow is the Democratic National Convention.
	Yeah.
	And I believe Joe speaks on Thursday.
	And there's something weird about this convention because first they're going to nominate and approve Harris as vice president on Wednesday, and then Joe on Thursday.
	Just in case Joe doesn't make it to Thursday.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I always thought, and I could be wrong, but I used to watch these conventions even when I was a kid.
	Yeah, they're great.
	They nominate, they go through the process, they get the president guy, and yay, he's our guy.
	And then he picks the vice president after that.
	Yeah.
	And then they all, yay, we agree with you.
	And then they all close the ceremonies.
	Right.
	So this is back ass word for a reason.
	Oh, I know why.
	It's obvious.
	Something happens to Joe because Thursday's a show day.
	So we got to nominate Kamala first.
	That is bothersome, John.
	That's really bothersome that they do her first.
	Because there's even an animated No Agenda video about how this works.
	By the way, thank you, Jennifer, Dame Jennifer, another fantastic episode of The Vape Crusader.
	There's a whole thing.
	We did a whole spiel on it, you did, about how you write it down.
	There's a list at the top and they put a couple more names at the bottom and everyone says, okay, yay, we'll take the number one.
	And now they're going to do her first.
	That's interesting.
	I found it very peculiar.
	And it's just something's wrong with it.
	Thumbs up.
	It's all going to be virtual.
	There's going to be nobody standing around.
	There's going to be no cheering.
	And somebody pointed out that this may be the end of the road for the old-fashioned conventions, which are pretty dated.
	I mean, where everybody comes in from out of town, and there's really a party, especially the Democrats knew how to put one on.
	There's all the Democrat liberal limos they used to have when they had it in San Francisco.
	There'd be all these limos and hookers, and these guys would come in from all over the place, and they'd party it up.
	The Bill Clinton days.
	Those days were...
	This COVID may have ended that and it's all going to be...
	Now it's just nothing.
	There's nothing going on that's important.
	It takes a lot of the spirit out of the party.
	I mean, if the Democrat Party is not spiritless enough, this is just going to take all the wind out of their shows because Trump wants to do something live because he likes the big audience.
	Yeah, and if you've noticed, he...
	It's kind of like he's got Kanye doing all the crazy Trump stuff, because that's basically what Kanye is doing.
	And he's gone...
	If you watch these recent daily briefings he's doing, it's just him.
	He gets up at the podium.
	To me, he's delivering the quarterly results to the board of directors.
	He does that.
	He knows the numbers.
	He's very familiar.
	He moves quickly.
	Does a couple questions.
	Doesn't get pissed off.
	Talks very calm the whole time.
	Doesn't like the question.
	Moves on to the next one.
	And then cuts it off after a couple questions.
	Goodbye.
	He has changed...
	For what reason, I don't know.
	I know that he doesn't have to do a lot of the crazy stuff that's on Twitter mainly, but not on TV. It's a different guy now.
	It's the Trump with the other tie.
	Well, it takes Kayleigh off the podium, which kind of bothers me.
	Well, he also did announce a little thing like a peace deal.
	Which was...
	Oh, by the way, if you remember that rundown we ran on CBS? Yeah.
	What was that in there?
	No.
	No, no, no.
	None of it.
	None of it.
	It's disgusting.
	In fact, here's another story.
	I happen to have a...
	This is the only thing I could find on CBS about the FBI lawyer that has confessed...
	Oh, yeah, that's another story that wasn't in the rundown.
	Here's CBS. Yeah.
	Let me see, here we go.
	Tonight, a former FBI lawyer has agreed to plead guilty to making a false statement to justify surveillance of former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
	A lawyer for Kevin Clinesmith says his client admits to altering an email that was used as evidence to obtain a FISA warrant.
	Today, Page called the result a, quote, good first step toward justice.
	That's it.
	That's all they got.
	That's all they got.
	It's a good story, too, if you really look into it.
	Well, the way the indictment was written, and I haven't analyzed this, but there's been some...
	The indictment's in the...
	In the show notes.
	But looking at it, the way it's written up, we're not going to see any more announcements or this is going to be indict arrest.
	It's going to be boom.
	It's going to go one, one, one.
	They're not going to be.
	This guy who could have gotten 20 years is now being apparently he's looking at five years.
	So we did a deal.
	He did a deal.
	So something is coming.
	Oh, and the one thing I forgot about Millie's piece, which I thought was quite good, that on the antagonizing side was Paul Manafort and Roger Stone, and they were using these Brennan networks to influence the elections in Ukraine.
	That's just an interesting little point that you should know about.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Well, the other one needs a little deconstructing because we're getting nothing, which is the post office stuff.
	Ah, I have thought about this.
	Good, because I got two clips.
	We can play them.
	This is the post office rundown from CBS. Okay, hit it.
	Margaret, tonight the head of a union that represents postal workers tells CBS News that there is an assault on the U.S. Police Service being led by President Trump.
	He says the president is undermining vote-by-mail to keep people away from the ballot box.
	Tonight, the Postal Service is warning states that there's a significant risk that some ballots will not be returned by mail in time to be counted.
	There is growing uncertainty over how post offices across the country will handle a crush of mail-in ballots as more voters opt to stay home during a pandemic.
	Democrats want to give the process more federal funding in a coronavirus relief deal.
	But on Thursday, Mr.
	Trump said he opposed it, claiming mail-in voting leads to election fraud.
	If we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money.
	That means they can't have universal mail-in voting.
	Former President Barack Obama responded in a podcast interview.
	What we've never seen before is a president say, I'm going to try to actively kneecap the Postal Service to encourage voting.
	President Trump seemed to walk back his remarks today, saying he would sign an agreement with mail-in voting money in exchange for Republican priorities.
	I would certainly do that, sure.
	I would do that.
	Democrats also claim the new Postmaster General, a major Trump donor, made big changes to operations to sabotage mail-in voting.
	CBS News has learned the Postal Service's Inspector General has opened an investigation.
	You want my analysis here, or you got more?
	I got a couple more, then you can do your analysis.
	Because this next one, which is again from CBS, I want you to see if you can ring the bell when you hear the loaded word that is dropped in by the woman who's holding up the fort for Nora.
	What am I playing?
	You're playing the post office to votes to Obama.
	Oh, got it.
	Yeah, this is a beginning.
	This one, I actually we don't even need to play, but this has got the loaded word in it.
	See if you could choose the loaded word place.
	You can stop tonight.
	The Postal Service is warning states nationwide.
	It may not be able to handle the expected flood of mail in ballots this November, suggesting all of the votes in this year's presidential election might not be delivered.
	in time to be counted.
	Today, President Trump again threatened to withhold federal funding, even members of his own party say is desperately needed by a postal service that's stretched to the limit.
	And even as the president continues to falsely insist mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud, today we...
	Falsely?
	Okay.
	How is that reporting?
	There's tons of evidence to back this up.
	Falsely insisting.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, in our WBUR outlet, we have the Massachusetts News.
	No one wants to really discuss it.
	They're concerned about this on the other side, with or without the money.
	Just play this as the last clip, then you can go on.
	This is MA ballots.
	...in Massachusetts is urging anyone voting by mail to apply for ballots early and send them back early.
	The Postal Service is warning states that it might not be able to deliver ballots in time to be counted.
	Secretary of State Bill Galvin is planning to discuss the issue early next week.
	Okay.
	This is really quite simple, and I don't know why people don't see it.
	People who are in the news business should.
	So there's a negotiation.
	It was a three-trip...
	The HEROES Act, which came out...
	Gee, that must have been June by now, I think.
	That's it.
	The House passed the HEROES Act, the follow-up to the CARES Act, which gave us the $1,200 and the unemployment insurance, etc.
	They came with this and they passed it.
	So, hey, Senate, all you got to do if you need this is just pass this.
	Of course, when you look at it, There was a lot of stuff in there.
	One was the trillion dollars for states that have huge bond problems, and they're mainly Democrat states, run states, and they'll just have to go talk to China because that is something that Trump doesn't want to do.
	And as a taxpayer, I don't think it's fair either.
	We've got to help people out.
	We've got to make sure that stuff is functioning and...
	Something has to be done about these failures, but yeah, a trillion dollars?
	No, thank you very much.
	No, you should move to somewhere else where it's run better.
	So the first, so he's a negotiation, this guy, and he does it in the open, which just, I love it.
	The first thing he does, if you recall, is talks about the FBI building.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	Yeah, as a part of this deal, I want the FBI building to, a new building should be put there.
	And then, however it happens, the Democrats and their media friends start saying, he doesn't want the FBI, he doesn't want a hotel to be there.
	It'll compete with Trump Tower.
	He's really going to fight for this.
	And he sticks on it and he keeps saying it until...
	Because he doesn't care.
	He says, okay, I'll give you that.
	Boom.
	I think a trillion went away.
	He knew they wanted to do mail-in voting.
	He had already...
	The postmaster general, new postmaster general came in in June.
	And if you look at what's happening in the lockdown...
	Postal mail has slowed dramatically.
	People are not mailing letters.
	They're not going out.
	But people are sending packages.
	So they started...
	It's not only slow dramatically, but it's also a slowdown by the union.
	There were two times in the last month where I've gone into the post office to get our collections.
	No checks.
	I'm looking in there saying, well, I know how many checks there should be every time I go.
	And I go, there's like three envelopes.
	I said, what happened?
	This is like a day I should have like 10 or 20 envelopes.
	She says, oh, there was no delivery yesterday.
	Yeah.
	What?
	And they said it was a union slowdown?
	That's kind of what they implied, but they're union members themselves.
	I'm not so sure.
	Well, somebody is not delivering the mail at least once a week.
	The union, of course, is super-democrat, so they're not going to be slowing down the mail right now when it has to be proven, even by pumping $3.5 billion in, that it can be done and we can mail-in ballots.
	Now, what Trump said over and over and over again about the post office before mail-in voting came up...
	I don't understand why they have to deliver Amazon packages for free at a loss.
	And so he said, I'm changing this.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	I forgot all about that bitch.
	Hundreds of mail sorting machines and use that floor space for machines that handle packages.
	Why?
	Because Trump actually wants to make the U.S. Postal Service a very profitable business for the government, for the people, whatever the hell he wants to do.
	He wants to charge Amazon for that crap.
	We're not sending mail.
	Coincidentally, it kind of worked out really well for him that the Democrats' whole strategy was, let's do just crazy mail-in voting.
	And we have to explain there is a difference between voting by absentia with an absentee ballot, which my daughter does in the Netherlands.
	You have to write in, you have to do a couple things, and then you will get your ballot, which you then send in on time.
	What is being proposed here is just sending everybody who has a name and a social security number and an address, or maybe just a name, send them a ballot, send it back, you're good to go, which of course is completely wrought with fraud.
	Trump now controls the entire process.
	There's no way that the ballots can go.
	The longer this negotiation takes place...
	The less likely it is that the mail-in scheme will work, as the Postmaster General has notified 46 states, I probably can't deliver everything on time.
	So all he has to do is just wait until it gets close to the wire, and then they'll say, well, we need to put this in, and he'll say, okay, let's chop the trillion dollars for the states down to $350, I'm guessing, and I'll let you do your mail-in voting if possible.
	Because they thought it was his...
	They're such idiots.
	Like, he's holding on to that.
	He said five times.
	He said, well, I'd be willing to talk about it.
	I'd be willing to do...
	Yeah, I can sign that up for the...
	Actually, there was a clip within the clip where he did actually say that.
	Yeah!
	But the way they presented on CBS as well, he's caved.
	Well, it's too late.
	There's nothing to cave on.
	It is not possible.
	It's not like this was unknown.
	He said, I'm fixing the post office.
	That's what he kept saying.
	I put a new guy in.
	We're fixing it because of the packages.
	Oh, gee, that happens to coincide with not working out for your crazy idea, which I'm against, too.
	Are you nuts?
	I mean, mail-in ballots is one thing, but without the infrastructure and years of planning, no, it's a typical Democrat ploy.
	See how well their primaries run.
	No, no, none of this.
	So they fell for it.
	Hook, line, and sinker.
	Boneheads.
	Super boneheads.
	Well, I think that's as good as anything.
	Any analysis I've heard, especially from the media, is just all freaky.
	There was one funny bit in that news conference.
	Huffington Post.
	I guess it was their turn.
	I don't know how often they get to send somebody in.
	The guy had one question.
	He pulls down his mask, and he's like, here's the question.
	After three and a half years, do you regret at all all the lying you've done to the American people?
	Trump didn't quite understand the question.
	So he said, what?
	And it's actually in this little clip.
	And the reason I want to play this clip is because it is a montage, a montage put together by Huffington Post themselves.
	And the guy's name is S.V. Daté.
	The reporter.
	With a name like that, I guess he's really good.
	HuffPose SV.T does end zone dance.
	Here we go.
	Trump had no response when we asked if he regrets all of his lies.
	Let's listen to the...
	Masturbatory piece they put together.
	Mr.
	President, after three and a half years, do you regret at all all the lying you've done to the American people?
	I've been wanting to ask him for years.
	I just like this.
	I've just got to stop it.
	The question is, all the lies you've told over all of these years, do you regret that?
	And the first thing out of this Lib Joe's mouth is, I've been waiting to ask this question for years.
	Huh?
	It makes no sense.
	No!
	I've been wanting to ask him for years.
	Please.
	So, Mr.
	President, after three and a half years, you regretted all the lying you've done to the American people.
	All the what?
	All the lying, all the dishonesties.
	That who has done?
	You have done.
	He thought about it, didn't he, for a couple of seconds and then decided maybe the best thing at that moment was not to answer.
	Maybe he realized there is no good answer to this.
	I think at some level he knows.
	He knows that he's not telling the truth so often.
	And the best thing there was probably just to run away from it.
	I think he was a little surprised if anyone ever asked him that because a lot of the reporters will not ask him because they want access.
	But there's a significant percentage of people who still hang on his every word.
	And so it's important that he be giving accurate information.
	He works for us.
	The White House works for us.
	In a democracy, that's the way it's got to be.
	And we have a right to accurate information and honest answers from the people who are there, regardless of whether we agree or disagree with their policies, regardless of whether folks voted for him or not.
	I think he will win a Pulitzer for this fabulous work.
	For the unanswered question.
	Yes.
	And his little self-congratulatory presentation.
	It's so pathetic.
	That is kind of pathetic.
	Kind of.
	I think it's just one of those...
	First of all, reporters for the HuffPost, for the most part, work for free.
	They work for free.
	They work for free.
	Yeah.
	I was just like, really?
	Really, bro?
	That's it?
	That is...
	Wow, you are so good, man.
	I got one little shorty here I want you to respond to.
	Tell me what you think is going to happen here.
	This is the Uber and Lyft being pretty much screwed in California.
	It's quite interesting.
	And in labor news, a California judge has ordered Uber and Lyft to reclassify their drivers from independent contractors to employees.
	Monday's ruling forces Lyft and Uber to grant thousands of contract drivers the same protections and benefits under law as other company employees, including health insurance and paid sick leave.
	Yes.
	First of all, let me just back up.
	You know what my pet peeve is?
	I thought this was ride sharing.
	I thought it was you.
	I had my car.
	I was having to go to the store and somebody wants to ride.
	I was going to pick them up because I got this app.
	Hey, somebody wants to go to the store.
	I can pick them up.
	I'll pick them up and send me some money.
	That was ride sharing.
	That's how they got around all the licensing laws.
	Now what are they going to do?
	So this law, if I understand correctly, was actually put in place to make sure that gig workers weren't displacing full-time workers, which is the basis of the Uber and Lyft model,
	It had an ancillary, and I think the rule is, if the company does what you do, so if Uber was a livery company and they had cars, then you could not, in California, according to this law, you could not...
	Work in the gig worker perspective because you are doing something they already do and they would need to hire you full-time, which is why in California all of the freelance writers for all these online tech things immediately got screwed because there was a small carve-out for them where they could do five articles a month...
	Five articles a month, otherwise they would have to be taken on full-time.
	So obviously, that pretty much killed that business as a gig.
	So I think this is still the fight that Uber is trying to say, no, no, no, no, we are an app company.
	We just connect people.
	We're like an agent.
	We don't actually own cars or drivers.
	I think they'll win.
	We'll see.
	I think they'll win.
	It's pretty tough out here.
	Well, there's something else going.
	There's two other things.
	The announcement of the California wealth tax, which would hit you once you have a net worth of a million dollars.
	And from the reports I saw, it can ultimately go up to, I don't know, like 6% or some crazy number.
	In addition to your regular state taxes.
	And the idea is to go get some big bucks from Silicon Valley.
	Luckily, we got a note from the anonymous gay accountant.
	And he says, Sacramento has proposed wealth tax on Californians with wealth over $30 million.
	And I don't understand why I got one.
	Some advisors do not believe this bill or any form of wealth tax will pass this legislative session, which ends August 31st.
	However, the push for a wealth tax in California will continue into next year and beyond.
	So I guess it's coming.
	Man, aren't you happy you're a podcaster?
	Yeah, I'm never going to get to 30 million.
	Imagine if you had stuck it out in journalism.
	Well, I wouldn't have got there that way either.
	I'd have to go become one of those flax for one of the big Silicon Valley startups.
	And then the final is this proposed, I guess it's on the ballot, is to change Prop 209.
	Which is the anti-discrimination clause.
	And I have a clip here from Ward Connolly.
	He's the president of California for Equal Rights.
	The original author of Proposition 209, which stops anyone from...
	Really favoring one person over the other for government jobs, for school jobs, etc.
	Kind of sets the tone for all of society.
	And he's, as you can imagine, he's rather puzzled and upset by this.
	in the name of affirmative action, we are doing discriminatory acts against people largely who are white and of Asian descent, primarily Americans who are Chinese in descent, but Americans.
	We're doing it and nobody seems to care.
	And the entire political structure, which is a monopoly of Democrats in California, believes that they're doing God's work by discriminating against people Proposition 16, which would repeal the initiative that 55% of which would repeal the initiative that 55% of the people in my great state of California approved.
	And that initiative, Proposition 209, reads, quote, the state, that's a small list, the state shall not discriminate against or grant preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting. or national origin in the operation of public employment, public Tucker, 37 words.
	No hidden words.
	No secret to it.
	It is simple and it's direct.
	But they want to repeal it.
	And the ballot label that will guide the voters says that this is an effort To allow diversity.
	It is corrupt.
	It is morally corrupt.
	It is a plague on our democracy to mischaracterize it.
	And we're worried because we don't have the dollars that they have.
	They've had two people contribute a million dollars apiece.
	The founder of Netflix and another billionaire, they've kicked in $2.5 million to do this, and I'll bet you they couldn't tell you what they were doing if their life depended upon it.
	But that's where we are.
	Well, I kind of have a hunch of what this is really about.
	You might be able to get a hint of it.
	I got this weird clip that came from, again, WBUR. And I didn't know anything about this.
	In San Francisco, there's a four-block area that is now considered a transgender district that has been founded called Compton District or something.
	I don't know why they named it after Compton.
	And I have the clip of it here, and within the clip you'll see where my theory comes from.
	San Francisco is now home to the world's first transgender district, which spans four blocks in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood.
	Aria Saeed is the founder and executive director of the Compton Transgender Cultural District, and she joins me now to talk about the importance of it.
	Welcome.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	Yes, so Aria, you moved from Portland, Oregon to San Francisco when you were 19 years old and you had a lot of expectations of what life would look like as a trans person there.
	But reality did not exactly meet those expectations.
	What did you discover and what in your discoveries made you decide that a district was needed?
	I, like so many Black trans people, came here for refuge because no other place in the United States felt safe.
	And what was debilitating was that I never saw any other Black trans people who were employed or Stably housed, et cetera, right?
	And so even coming to San Francisco, I would interview for jobs and people would start laughing as I entered the room.
	Or I wouldn't get hired because I was trans.
	And it was very obvious that that was happening.
	And I found that me and so many of my black trans women sisters in the tenderloin We had no other option but to engage in survival sex work.
	And so, all these years later, in founding the district, I think we are facilitating a conversation and what I believe to be a radical solution in addressing our disparity.
	Now, this goes on for 15 minutes.
	Pretty loaded, man, this.
	Now, this has been going on in California for a while, which is discrimination by appearance.
	Right.
	And this guy pointed it out.
	He says, I go in for a job interview, and they actually literally, I don't know what this guy looks like.
	He's a black guy, I know that, but who knows what he looks like, you can imagine.
	You are misgendering she.
	It's okay, I'm just saying it.
	He goes in there, and the next thing you know, it doesn't sound like it.
	You know, the problem is he could have...
	I understand.
	It doesn't sound like it.
	But anyway, so he goes, he, she goes in there, and they laugh at him, and he finds this offensive, and I'm sure it is.
	Yeah.
	But I remember watching some guys, there'd be a guy that would come on bitching about this, not the transgender person, just that punk, with face piercings and, you know, tattoos on the face.
	Yeah, yeah, the blown out ear.
	And horns putting...
	Horns.
	Horns.
	Blown out earlobes.
	Yeah, earlobes, big giant things hanging there.
	Basically, my daughter's birthday party.
	And he wanted to be in a public-facing job as a cashier somewhere in some business.
	They wouldn't hire him.
	Right.
	And he felt that this was a...
	And he and others felt that this was a violation of their civil rights because they're not getting these jobs.
	Right.
	Right.
	Based on their horrible-looking appearance.
	And this has been an issue in California for a long time, and this is what we're really leading to here.
	You cannot refuse to hire somebody, even though they're going to be facing the public and be a representative of the firm, because they look like hell.
	You can't...
	No, no, no.
	You have to hire them.
	But I don't understand.
	This is where this is going.
	Okay, but I don't understand how this actually helps.
	The law as written, Prop 29, should give them actual protection, not for a commercial job, but for a government or school job.
	How will removing that make it better?
	Doesn't that just give the businesses more chance to say, no, there's no law, I'm discriminating against you, bye!
	No, they're going, you watch, there's going to be something to follow up on this.
	Oh, I believe you, I believe you.
	We're just not, we haven't seen it yet, or we haven't figured it out yet.
	You don't do it all at once.
	Right.
	But it's these, and I will just say it, horrible looking people that have made themselves horrible looking, Wanting to, you know, winning these jobs because maybe they're even qualified, but they're just horrible looking and they think that we should make exceptions for them doing this to themselves.
	Well, in context of diversity and equity, and that's what this is about, is the equity.
	So we need to have as many trans people, as many black people, as many brown people, well, white people, shut up.
	As many, whatever, trans people.
	And so in the hiring situation, the idea is, you know, you just give them a boost up.
	It's called favoritism.
	So that would be something that could happen.
	My favorite way of achieving equity and diversity is the Kurt Vonnegut way.
	If you've never seen it, go look at Harrison Bergeron.
	It's on YouTube video.
	Where, okay, so there's a horrible looking person, and you're beautiful.
	Now, you can both work at the store, but because you're beautiful, we're going to put a mask on your head, so there's equity.
	You're a great dancer, we're going to put ankle weights so you don't dance as well as the rest.
	That would be my favorite way of doing it, but okay.
	It's San Francisco, they do everything in a boring way.
	Yeah, there was a couple of Twilight Zone episodes addressing this issue.
	Yeah.
	Oh boy!
	Well, at least we don't have to work in a store.
	Yet.
	I'm going to show my salute 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.
	And indeed, we do have a few people to thank.
	Beginning with...
	Let me move my microphone to the announcing position.
	Starting with...
	You gotta fist it.
	If you move it, you gotta re-fist.
	Brittany...
	Brittany Kirsch, $150.
	She had a short comment for show.
	I don't remember that.
	She didn't come in as a check.
	Rufus is next on the list.
	$140 from Emerald, Victoria, Australia.
	He may have a report here.
	Oh, this actually needs to be read because this is a $200.
	It should be upgraded to Associate Executive Producer.
	It's a dollary-do, I think.
	A dollary-do.
	Apart from the excellent deconstruction and information infotainment you guys provide over the years, my donation is mostly due to John's blue moment a few episodes ago.
	I drove past a sign in my hometown on a fairly regular basis that says, stay safe, to which I now scream, go F yourself!
	It's very therapeutic, just like your podcast.
	As for the Melbourne-Victoria deconstruction, we are Australia's number one nanny state.
	If we can save a few elderly residents from contracting RONA, let's lock down the whole place.
	I'm pretty sure elderly would prefer fresh air and to see their family.
	But that's not the way we roll with the media cashing in on fear and a premier that is more concerned about what's trendy than what's right.
	I don't see things changing anytime soon.
	I was thinking of with my no agenda hat on Victoria is the only state within Australia that went against the government and signed the MOU Memorandum of Understanding with China's One Belt, One Road Initiative.
	We talked about that earlier in the show.
	And the Australian federal government is going hard at the CCP for their handling of the RONA.
	And the CCP is losing face.
	Yes.
	Victoria is currently attempting to discredit the federal government by starting the second wave of Rona and the subsequent stage 4 draconian lockdown is due to the government not offering a defense force to manage hotel quarantines resulting in the hiring of unqualified and bonky private security companies.
	Did you miss Britney?
	I don't have anything.
	I just said short comment for show.
	Oh, no, but I didn't hear her name at all.
	Oh, yes.
	No, I said Brittany Kirsch, $150 short comment for show.
	Oh, I didn't hear her.
	Okay.
	Thanks, Rufus.
	Matthew Wilson's next...
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Sir Chris the Drunken Mistral's come in from Merrickville, New South Wales at $138.29.
	Now, whether this is...
	Yeah, it's dollary dues.
	Look at it.
	So it's $202, according to him.
	At the time, yeah.
	In the morning, this is Sir Chris Wilson, the drunkard minstrel who was back from his sabbatical.
	People were getting worried.
	In the morning, all my other family, especially Uncle John and Auntie Adam.
	Why do I have to be Auntie Adam?
	I've been away and missed you all.
	It's been part of finding that balance between being well-educated yet blissfully ignorant.
	But I am back on deck and reporting for duty.
	A point of privilege of which the color of said privilege is white.
	I would like to correct the record regarding our southern brethren.
	Here we go.
	Despite the many rumors, tall tales, and innuendo from Adam in the last show, I hold no ill will nor interstate grudge towards my neighbors down there in Gitmo down under.
	Gitmo Mexico down under.
	More commonly known as Her Majesty's Prison State of Victoria, home of the green cans.
	Their weather is punishment enough.
	Please find my humble donation of $202.02.
	Yes, that's what we are worth, a mere $138.29 Trump casino tokens.
	He's poetic.
	Our currency of color, the red lobsters, or $20 notes, yellow pineapples, or $50 notes, and such, are forced to ride the back of the donation bus, but that fellow citizen is the price of freedom, and I am eternally grateful for the equal opportunity program offered by the No Agenda Nation and their radical and somewhat revolutionary position of all currencies matter.
	A short report from the former prison island continent.
	While I have yet to be berated by other slaves for failing to wear a face muzzle, I was berated the other day for misgendering my nearby neighbor's dog.
	I'll let that sink in for a moment.
	Thank you to all producers who contribute to the show to keep it running.
	If it wasn't for you, we would have ads like the one I resent to Adam, using and abusing children to push some product or service that we need.
	Trump-Pelosi jobs and a goat luge karma for all the douchebags, dukes, and everyone in between.
	And, of course, since that is a...
	Associate Executive Producer.
	We will honor that right away.
	Jobs.
	Jobs.
	And jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Oh, shoot.
	I'm sorry.
	That was quite a fail.
	Hold on.
	I got his thing.
	It's important.
	You gotta do it.
	There you go.
	Sorry about that.
	My comment?
	Shorter notes, longer songs.
	Matthew Wilson's next on the list from Yulee, Florida.

	Oh, yeah.
	That's right.
	I remember her.
	And she sent a note in, which I might want to read.
	She's got a lot of hearts and smiley faces all over it.
	Okay.
	I have nursed an episode.
	I have not missed an episode.
	And I have noticed you and...
	Adam, do show prep.
	Oh, she's listening to that, too.
	Yeah, okay.
	Please christen me.
	Oh, I don't know.
	This must be her old note.
	Her new note is just a card.
	It says, Happy Anniversary to you crazy kids.
	Oh, there's your 888.
	There you go.
	Perfect.
	Yeah, 888.
	It's for us.
	That's nice.
	Thanks, name.

	I've been mailing, and he sent it, I've been mailing two and three cent letters for several years, including a couple of you, and I looked at the letter, he had three one cent stamps on it.
	Nice.
	Corey, even Todd McGreevy used to talk about this incessantly on the Agenda 31 podcast.
	I understand it to be a relic of the Civil War.
	I have no idea how it proves the Earth is flat or anything else.
	Anyway, he has a website that he wants, andrewjones.com.
	Check it out.
	It's a website for the Roganites.
	Go.
	Onward with Tim Griffin.

	Curiously, for the exact same amount of money, 69-69.
	Well, it is, after all, episode 1269.
	Ah!
	But still.
	In the morning, Batman and Robin.
	The amygdala-shrinking crusaders.
	He goes on.
	He says it's $33 to celebrate 33 years of wedded bliss.
	And then he has an F cancer donation.
	We've got to put an F cancer in at the end for him.
	You got it.
	$36.69 in memory of his father and mother-in-law who both died of lung cancer this last year.
	Yeah.
	Oh, man.
	My mom died of lung cancer, too.

	What is that?
	That's not pulling an atom.
	Since when is that pulling an atom?
	Well, you're the one that didn't hear what's-her-name's thing at the beginning.
	It was just a call back to you and the woman at the beginning of the list.
	Brittany Kirsch.
	Okay.
	None of this will make it in the show.
	It all makes it in the show.
	I'm cutting it out.

	We've already had a couple of meetup reports.
	Here is one from Oregon.
	In the morning, John and Adam and listeners, this is Josh and his wife Amy, who is a douchebag, and I hit her in the mouth, and she's been listening ever since.
	And this is Grand Pass, Oregon.
	And we've got a group in the area.
	In the morning, guys!
	My name is Marissa, Ph.D. chemist.
	Jesus loves Adam and John.
	Brian, astrophysicist.
	Kevin, it's like a peaceful protest.
	Jim and Diane from Local 33.
	We drove down to meet up with these guys.
	Sir Ross from Hellgate.
	Good in the morning.
	This is David Swanson, bus driver from Eugene, Oregon.
	I'm not a douchebag, but I'm also not a night.
	I like to call out Billy Newman as a douchebag.
	It's true!
	And we're the three douchebags!
	And we're sick of doing it.
	Alright guys, good in the morning!
	Good in the morning!
	It was actually a video.
	Good looking group.
	From bus drivers to astrophysicists to the three ladies who are known as the three douchebags.
	I mean, that sounds like a good report.
	Sounds like a party.
	Just like a party, in fact.
	Here's what's coming up on the meetup calendar from noagendameetups.com.

	How about an end-of-show ISO? You got anything lined up?
	No, I have no ISOs.
	I'm sorry.
	I thought I had an...
	Let me see.
	I had an ISO here.
	I tried to pull a couple.
	I couldn't find nothing.
	Blah, blah, blah.
	I got that one.
	That's a good one.
	Just go with that.
	Okay, we'll just use that one then.
	Perfect.
	Anything else to...
	We're running long.
	I'm just telling you we're running long.
	The affiliates are already funding.
	One clip is good.
	I can make it educational.
	I can make it kind of the embarrassing Marianne Williamson clip.
	I could play that.
	You've already tried to play that clip three times.
	I keep trying to play it.
	I can't get to it.
	I also have the Mars Report from BBC. 49 seconds.
	We should get this out of the way.
	Ooh, this sounds like a winner.
	A multi-billion dollar decade-long effort to bring rock samples from Mars back to Earth gets underway today.
	The American space agency NASA's latest rover will also search for signs of past life on the red planet.
	Here's our science correspondent Jonathan Amos.
	Not since the Viking landers in the 1970s has NASA directly looked for life on Mars, preferring instead with later missions merely to describe the planet's ancient environments.
	But the one-ton Perseverance rover, with its seven instruments, a drill, 23 cameras and a helicopter, is geared up to find evidence of biology.
	It'll land on an ancient lake bed and seal the most interesting rocks in small canisters.
	Getting these home will involve elaborate future missions that NASA and the European Space Agency are also now preparing.
	I thought there was no atmosphere on Mars.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, how's the helicopter work, Dan?
	Tell me.
	I have no...
	Maybe just don't need a lot of helicopters.
	I don't know.
	I am...
	Look, I'm still trying to figure out the moon.
	Can't tell you.
	Can't explain that one.
	That's it for episode 1269.
	Thank you for being a part of it.
	Thank you for producing.
	Up next on NoAgendaStream.com, MoFax, episode number 46.
	End of show mixes.
	Jesse Coy Nelson.
	We've got Professor JCJ, Danny Luce, Steph Jacobson, a cast of thousands.
	And I think we also have Rad Grandad in there.
	Coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital of the drone star state, Austin, Texas.
	FEMA region number six on the governmental maps in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we still have occasional thunder going on.
	It's the strangest thing I've seen for a long time.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios, mofos!
	And such.
	When he speaks, he makes you wonder.
	He doesn't even know what he wants to say.
	And we know he likes the girls a whole lot younger.
	Biden's gonna lose to 45.
	There's nothing anyone can do.
	Democrats won't survive.
	Attention everyone, a president.
