	Flood the zone, JCD. Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, August 20th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1270.
	This is no agenda.
	Cock in the noodle gun and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, we're having eight-car Zephyr.
	Things are under control.
	It went right on time and right at the right speed.
	I'm John C. DeMora.
	It's Crackball and Buzzkill.
	Whatever you did there was great.
	We did a Zephyr report and an opening all at the same time.
	That, my friends, is a professional.
	That's what's going on there.
	Okay, so Economy Stable...
	This is the official...
	Says who?
	Zephyr.
	That's what the Zephyr says.
	This is the Zephyr Economic Report.
	Oh, the Zephyr.
	Yeah, the Zephyr is their leading indicator.
	Oh, thanks.
	Thanks for...
	Thanks for reminding us of that.
	And we've got breaking news in this morning.
	Breaking news.
	Last-minute news.
	Sure, because I've got some breaking news coming at us right now.
	It's breaking.
	Let me get this right.
	We've got...
	Are we ready to report that?
	Yeah, here we go.
	Okay.
	The breaking news is this.
	Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in relation to support of the building the border wall.
	So he's charged with fraud in connection with fundraising.
	Okay?
	That's what we've got to report for you as of right now.
	Whoa!
	Lots of details there.
	Did they haul him away in cuffs?
	In cuffs?
	Did they give him the perp walk?
	I don't know.
	I need to know.
	Who arrested him?
	Someone in authority.
	No idea.
	Top men.
	Yes, must be.
	So, question.
	How about the power out there where you are?
	I mean, we're seeing reports, but it's like, I don't know.
	How bad is it?
	I don't know.
	The power's on here.
	It's not going on at all.
	These reports you guys get from out of state seem very sketchy.
	Well, they have a bunch of threats.
	Oh, we're going to have to do this and that because it's so hot, you know, we can't handle all the heat.
	Right.
	And then Newsom says he's going to sue them and take their company away if they don't stop these threats.
	Yeah.
	And so it's just, I don't know.
	I have no idea.
	All I know is the power's on as long as it's on them, you know.
	That's so weird.
	I mean, I did get one email from a producer who said his power had been out for three hours and it was, you know, like 90 degrees.
	So somewhere it's happening.
	Somewhere in your...
	Well, they said they were going to do some rolling blackouts to keep the...
	You know, you read the letter from the engineer at the last show, I believe.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Which might be worth rereading, but they said there's going to be...
	It's going to be from...
	They're going to go...
	You're going to be cut off for a couple hours, and then they're going to go roll to somebody else.
	So nobody's going to be left overnight so their freezer doesn't, you know, thaws all the meat out.
	Right.
	Well, I do have an update.
	Yes, they do have a map.
	They do have a map on the news that they show, and it shows little red dots where the power's been cut off.
	And it tends to be in the San Jose area, and it's scattered around.
	It's dubious.
	Well, I got another...
	The state's falling apart.
	Yes.
	I got another email from an engineer.
	So the last time we heard from a GE engineer, now we have an engineer from LADWP, which is the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
	Something like that.
	And he says, I work in operations.
	California has barred us utilities from, quote, repowering.
	Repowering.
	That's like tearing down the old units, putting in new efficient fast units.
	An analogy would be California preventing you from junking your 1980s Datsun and buying a Camry.
	They only allowed you to buy a model XP Sport Ultra, which only runs in the daytime.
	That means we can't get rid of our older, inefficient boiler generators with better units because we still need them to use in the summer months to peak load.
	The idea is to force us to buy and create more, here it is, renewable electricity.
	The joke of it all is that to meet reliability requirements, the more solar and wind we have online, the more traditional reliable units we must have.
	We know this because the minute it goes down, something else needs to kick in quickly to take up the slack.
	So if there's no wind, no sun.
	The other option to meet reliability is to buy energy on the energy market.
	Aha.
	Hello, Enron.
	Buffett is making a killing in Nevada selling California.
	Here it is.
	Buffett is making a killing in Nevada selling California energy capacity.
	Capacity is like an option contract.
	To buy the contract that says, if I can call on energy at any time, you have to deliver it to me.
	Those are the most lucrative energy deals since 99% of the time the seller makes money and doesn't have to generate any energy.
	And in the 1% of the time that energy is called upon, it's sold at two times premium, if not more.
	What a scam!
	So you're buying from Nevada.
	How's that Nevada juice feel?
	Unbelievable.
	I need that letter and I need the other letter.
	Put the other one aside.
	I'm going to post them on one of the websites.
	Okay.
	Anonymously, obviously.
	Well, yeah, I don't know.
	You know, that's fine.
	You don't need to have a person attributed because the facts are the facts.
	Yeah.
	Then I got another request from Colorado.
	From Sir Beachbum, Adam and John, I want to let you know that today, Wednesday the 19th in Colorado, it clouded up and rained sporadically.
	We have three major fires raging in the state.
	It has been dry and in the upper 90s for at least two weeks.
	It's forecast for more of the same for the foreseeable future.
	We really could use one more simultaneous single shake of the rain sticks.
	This is a desperate plea.
	How can we turn this down?
	I didn't do a shake.
	You have to just do the same thing you did before.
	Okay, because it rained a little bit.
	I will do two shakes just for me.
	We are very careful.
	There's a lot of things going on weather-wise.
	So here we go.
	And the second.
	Ah, that should hit it right on the back end.
	Okay, there you go.
	Business taken care of.
	Excellent.
	And where should we start?
	Do we still want to do a little COVID update before we get into undoubtedly some fun stuff from the past few weeks?
	Yes, because I don't know what fun stuff there is.
	I do have a Kaylee, I got some Trump, I got some other stuff.
	But yeah, take us to the COVID update.
	Okay, what do I have?
	There's a number of things.
	First, let me give you a rundown of what I'm hearing.
	First of all, Trump goes up and he says, oh, everything's great, the numbers are going down, everything looks peachy and it's the way it should be.
	And then you listen to Amy Goodman, all hell's breaking loose, we're all going to die, it's worse than ever.
	So there's got to be a middle ground of actual facts.
	Sounds about right.
	Well, there's a lot going on, of course, with these numbers and the testing.
	Just to give you an idea, we had this huge spike in Texas last week, and we were, of course, all going to die, and it was, oh my goodness, what?
	Well, it turns out, the high spike, and I want to read it verbatim, Dallas County Director of Health and Human Services, Dr.
	Philip Huang, met excuses for the glaring errors which are being used to shutter certain businesses throughout Texas.
	We are dealing with paper faxes of lab data and lab reports, hundreds of those days of day that we're having to deal with.
	The system really wasn't designed to handle this many numbers.
	Oh my God!
	A system that has to handle numbers.
	It's an unprecedented situation we're dealing with.
	It turns out...
	That their system was going through an upgrade, you see.
	An upgrade.
	To be specific, due to system upgrades and coding errors with their reporting system.
	I think it was like 5,000 or 6,000, and you see the chart all of a sudden spike, and immediately everyone goes, oh, we've got to go into lockdown again.
	And now they finally come clean and say, oh, yeah, man, sorry, just something.
	And now, of course, today we get Texas coronavirus positivity rate plummets after record highs set from system error.
	We now officially, the United States now has more pneumonia deaths than COVID-19 deaths, or at least as they're coded.
	Denver doctors have discovered that the 40-50% reduction in heart attacks, During this whole affair, since the beginning of the year, is because those people died at home.
	Very sad to think of.
	But they didn't want to come in, so they all died at home.
	And now they're discovering these numbers.
	Oh, yeah, gee, maybe none of this was such a really fantastic idea after all.
	And I guess we have...
	I'm going to make...
	This is not really a prediction.
	This is an obviocity, I would say.
	Mm-hmm.
	But in about four or five years, especially after Trump is out for good, they're going to do books about this, and they're going to break it down and show that this was the biggest fiasco in the history of medicine.
	They're going to show that this is bullcrap here, because we've already documented on the show in real time, but nobody's been putting it into a book form.
	You mean nobody's doing the work?
	Nobody's doing the work.
	And they won't do the work, and the publishers won't let anyone do the work because this is all part of, to me, the messaging system.
	But when it's all reanalyzed for the purposes of history, it's going to be really embarrassing.
	Yeah.
	And everyone's going to go, oh, we kind of knew that, but we didn't know it.
	If, if, if.
	I do know somebody who died.
	You had a very specific question about vaccines amongst hospital, well, doctors, I think you said, and I said, well, hospital workers, you know, they're not exempt from getting the vaccine, and you said you think that they just kind of do a little wink, wink, nudge, nudge, I sign your form, you sign my form?
	Yes.
	Uh, one response so far, so far, uh, as a hospital worker, please let John know these are done in a large room with eight to 10 people administering vaccines, each with a laptop, each recording it into the database.
	No fudging, no shot, no work.
	We will be the guinea pigs.
	However, in Germany, one of our producers who will remain anonymous as well.
	I want to counter it before you go on to Germany.
	Uh, That's one response we've got.
	How does that work, though, with people who are out in the sticks?
	I don't know.
	When there's, you know, two doctor's offices in a small town.
	Right.
	Well, yeah, I think that that would probably be easy to do.
	And then you take one of those doctors, and then he goes into the big city, and he's got his papers.
	Right.
	I think you also have a lot of doctors who really buy into it, John.
	It seems that way.
	Well, I'm sure there's plenty of those.
	Buying into lots of stuff, so.
	But there's plenty of doctors that obviously don't buy into it.
	Those are the ones that are taken off YouTube.
	Correct.
	So in Germany, actually in many EU countries, it may actually be, I remember the Netherlands having it, they have what's called a vaccine passport.
	It's literally called a vaccine passport.
	It was there when I was living there, so it's not like something new.
	But it is kind of interesting at this point.
	That the term passport is coming into vogue.
	The way it works is you have kind of like a cardboard report card.
	You know, it folds out.
	And on the inside, it has all these different entries.
	So you can put it, okay, this vaccine, that vaccine, that vaccine, that vaccine, whatever the kid needs throughout the kid's life and adult life.
	And as proof, next to each of those vaccines...
	Is a sticker from the bottle that the vaccine was administered from as a proof of, basically a proof of purchase, proof of receipt that you've received this into your system.
	And one of our German producers says, my wife's a doctor in a neighboring country to Germany and caught another doctor taking the proof of vaccine stickers from common childhood vaccines, such as MMR, and bringing them into Germany.
	I think there's going to be maybe a little black market going on of vaccine stickers.
	That's one way of going.
	Yeah.
	And I can understand why.
	There's now a law mandating vaccines in German schools.
	If you actually want to go, then you have to have the...
	Have to have the vaccine when it's available.
	When it's available is the big question.
	Fauci, on a podcast which I couldn't find quick enough to clip it, claims Russia's vaccine and its claim of efficacy is bogus.
	So I guess we need to get the Moderna guys moving a little bit faster.
	Gotta rock and roll.
	And we have...
	Well, before I get to the therapeutics, it's very clear where we're going to take it next.
	The news media has already been notified.
	In fact, in this supercut, which one of our producers put this supercut together...
	It's hard to do super cuts, actually.
	And so I tightened it up a little bit just to make it somewhat snappier.
	So he recorded all of these himself, and I think that's very cool.
	Except the actual topic, what we're looking forward to, is not so cool.
	Well, as the battle against COVID-19 continues, it's also time to get ready for flu season.
	And this year there are concerns about a possible twindemic.
	They're calling it a potential twindemic, the coronavirus pandemic still going strong at the same time flu season is approaching.
	A new term, you could be hearing more this fall, twindemic.
	And she says the earlier we get our flu shots, the less likely we'll end up in a twindemic.
	The earlier you get that shot, the sooner you have immunity.
	This year with the COVID-19 pandemic expected to coincide with flu season, doctors say the concern over a possible twindemic underscores the need for people to get the flu vaccine.
	Do you know the term twindemic?
	It's what they're calling a twindemic.
	So Tom, a twindemic is exactly how it sounds.
	I want to ask you more, but is twindemic a new word?
	Did we just make this up or have we experienced or used the term twindemic in the past?
	As far as I know, I think it's made up.
	So it's specially coined for what we're going through.
	But it's coined, I think, based on the Latin for where the pandemic comes from.
	What?
	Yeah.
	What?
	Yeah, that was interesting.
	And I left that in there for us to discuss.
	What does she mean?
	Does that mean...
	Because the Latin for twin, I guess, is Gemini or something.
	But there's Chimera.
	Could Chimera...
	Could she mean Chimera?
	No, what she means is she's a moron.
	Oh, thank you for...
	I'm thinking way too high level.
	How so?
	It's just full of crafters.
	What's Latin got to do with taking the word twin for two and adding the second half of the word pandemic to demic, or epidemic for that matter, whatever you want to use.
	Maybe she's talking about the demic part.
	It may have a Latin root, but...
	No.
	No matter.
	We did get an interesting end of show possibility.
	As far as I know, I think it's made up.
	Possibility is end of show.
	I have one.
	I might as well throw it out at you.
	Well, I have several if you want to do that.
	If you want to check it out.
	We might as well.
	Okay, what do you got?
	I got stealth.
	Stealth.
	We're stealth.
	Totally stealth.
	Oh, that's right.
	Trump talking about the F-35.
	Let me see.
	What else do I have?
	I have this one.
	Data is our friend.
	I have this one.
	I'm not serious about what I'm doing.
	Then I think probably one of the better ones.
	Donald Trump is stealing the election!
	I kind of like that.
	Okay.
	That's the one?
	That's the one?
	Okay, exactly.
	Now, so we have the Twin Devin coming up, and this is an obvious push for more people.
	Don't forget, children, you think that you're going to wait for the COVID-19 vaccination.
	Ho-ho, we have a bottom line.
	We have shareholders.
	We need you to still go out and get your flyers.
	Supply is said to be very healthy this year.
	In fact, many companies have been ramping up their production.
	There could be as many as 15% more supply.
	Millions of more doses that have been produced by the vaccine drug developers just to meet the demand that is expected.
	Doctors and pharmacies are expecting higher demand, and vaccine makers are increasing production, some up to 15%.
	So we do expect there should be sufficient supply.
	One more reason to get your flu shot early, Dr.
	Wheeler said, is to avoid the crowds.
	It is one thing you cannot do remotely, so why not get it done early and avoid the lines?
	Not only are flu shots already available at many pharmacies, some like CVS are letting you do all the paperwork online.
	So you just show up with your mask on, get your shot, and help prevent another airborne virus from taking hold.
	The vaccine will be coming available within the next few weeks in places like Lewis Drug and Hy-Vee pharmacies or even offering drive-up flu shots.
	Go get your shots, kids!
	We got a quarter to make.
	I'm sure they saw this.
	And there's not to say one thing about the fact that if we're all going to walk around with these masks all the time, the flu season should be very mild.
	The masks will do anything.
	They're going to keep you from getting the flu.
	Here's how I'm tying the two together.
	They launched the made-up word twindemic.
	It's not a medical term.
	That was admitted.
	So they launched that.
	They say, literally, you'll probably be here.
	But stop.
	Stop.
	They?
	Who's they?
	The news people you just heard in that clip.
	That's they.
	And then the second thing is, I'd like to know the genesis of this someone person.
	You interrupted me as I was about to tell you.
	Oh, you have it.
	Okay.
	I know.
	It's so obvious.
	Again, if you listen to the clip, you hear them say, oh, you're going to hear, this is a new word.
	Oh, boy, this is a word.
	Gee, these were all local stations.
	Start to ring any bells?
	This is a buy.
	This is a media buy.
	They made up the word twindemic because they need to sell the current vaccine.
	Twindemic.
	You've got to get both.
	One's not good enough.
	Fine, you can say this, and I agree that somebody did this, but it's not just a generalized they.
	It's a person.
	It's a one pharma company.
	Yeah, well, I don't know which one pharma company.
	Some PR guys with a lot of good ideas.
	Yes, exactly.
	This is just like the...
	Well, let's find out who it is.
	Well, who makes the flu vaccine?
	There's a couple of them, aren't there?
	Well, that's a good question since we've dropped the ball on the flu vaccine.
	Oh, let me see.
	Sanofi.
	It's got to be one of them.
	It's got to be one of their PR agents.
	Here's what I think is going about this sort of thing, this twindemic phrase.
	Somebody is itching.
	Because I know these guys.
	Somebody is itching to be found out and take credit for this term.
	Okay, maybe.
	Maybe Fauci.
	And I haven't heard those guys say it.
	So this is not a medical term.
	Fauci is not creative.
	He can't even say brof.
	But he is the man that says, you've got to go out and you've got to get your flu vaccine.
	This is an industry issue.
	I'm sure they're flipping out about it.
	Over the next three months, I'll give myself three months.
	I can't give myself longer.
	To find out the exact person who came up with this bullcrap.
	Good to be here, Bruce.
	Well, they're doing it...
	Here's what they're doing.
	Massachusetts.
	A flu shot will be required for all students in Massachusetts.
	The Department of Public Health just announcing this, that all children from the age of six months to those enrolled in college...
	Must receive an influenza vaccine by December 31st in order to attend school in January.
	Exemptions apply to students with medical or religious reasons and those who are homeschooled and higher education students who are completely off campus.
	State health officials say this new requirement is an important step to reduce flu-related illnesses and the overall impact of respiratory illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
	Never let a crisis go to waste.
	Let's push it!
	This is a dream!
	This is a dream!
	Did she say that...
	I mean, I almost want to hear that whole thing again because I think she said that this includes students who are not on campus and they're out in a stick someplace.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Remote.
	What do they need a shot for?
	...in order to attend school in January.
	Exemptions apply to students with medical or religious reasons and those who are homeschooled and higher education students who are completely off campus.
	Oh, it's an exemption.
	The officials say this new requirement is an important step to reduce flu-related illnesses and the overall impact of respiratory illness during the COVID-19 pandemic.
	I remind us of the Goldman Sachs back in 2009 or 10.
	The Goldman Sachs Medical Financial Conference where everyone was there saying vaccines, it's the future.
	You're making people buy something when they're not sick.
	And look at all the vaccines where now kids are up to 60 or 70 before they're even teenagers.
	And this is a big money maker, this flu vaccine.
	This is big, big money.
	So they need to have people not sitting around waiting And at the same time, kind of, you know, get them all primed and pumped for the COVID vaccine.
	And so they tie them together.
	Twindemic.
	Oh, twindemic.
	There's no evidence scientific.
	It's just crazy.
	Okay.
	Now, what we do have is Saudi Arabia...
	Safety outcome of their hydroxychloroquine zinc study approved therapeutic protocol for outpatients.
	Ivermesatin?
	I-V-E-R-M-E-C-T-I-N. This is also something that's been on the market forever and could have a similar effect to the hydroxychloroquine.
	You still need the zinc and your...
	Oh, no, wait.
	This is the...
	Is this instead of...
	Instead of the Z-Pack, I think.
	There's just more options coming out.
	The most entertaining is certainly the one that the MyPillow founder and CEO, Mike Lindell, tried to promote.
	I don't think he really needed to promote it, but tried to get some attention for it to save people's lives.
	It is made by a company called Phoenix Biotechnology.
	It's oleandrin extract, which is, I think, a flower.
	So it's basically, and there's all kinds of proof of that working, or people who believe it's not an FDA thing.
	It's like a supplement.
	You know, it could be what Alex Jones sells for all I know.
	But he believes it.
	He got, I guess, Ben Carson to take a look at it.
	And Carson said, and Carson has some credibility.
	He said, yeah, it looks like that's the real deal.
	And he invested in the company to help them and is on the board.
	And I think this guy does come from a good place.
	But he knows how to sell stuff on television when he has control of the message.
	Not when you go on Anderson Pooper.
	You don't have a medical background.
	You're not a scientist.
	Unlike Dr.
	Bill Gates.
	Yet you're claiming this substance, which has not been studied in any meaningful way, can cure COVID, and you have a financial stake in the company, you would profit from it if this is being sold widely.
	Morally, is that right?
	Really, Anderson?
	You mean like us paying the vaccine companies in advance and they're still going to go make money for it morally?
	Morally?
	Is that right, Anderson?
	Morally?
	Please.
	And I just love that you have no credentials, man.
	Now, there is no peer-reviewed study.
	There is a preprint, which, you know, when it was a preprint for the Moderna vaccine, everybody was all jacked and jitty.
	But now it's, you know, Lindell is like a Trump guy.
	No!
	Ah!
	Well, you know, I was contacted on Easter Sunday after, you know, that I told the whole country to pray for the answer for this pandemic.
	And this great administration has had me, anything I hear out there, whether it be good sanitizers or cures or anything, to bring it back to the task force.
	So this guy called me on Easter Sunday and said he had an answer to the virus, and I reached out to my friend, Secretary Carson, who's on the task force, and he's a doctor, and he looked into it all, got everything from the company, and he said, this is the real deal.
	It's been tested by over a thousand people to be safe.
	Wait a minute, stop.
	There's no public, peer-reviewed studies about this.
	There's no human trials that have been published anywhere.
	Yeah, there's a safety test that was done in 2016 for over a thousand people that it's safe to take.
	And if it's safe to take, that's when I started taking it.
	Where is this study?
	The only study or report out is one report from the University of Texas.
	That was a preprint study, and that was only involving cells in a test tube.
	No, there's been human studies, absolutely human studies.
	Where are these human studies?
	Why are they publicly...
	Don't you love this?
	This is so nuts.
	Why are they publicly out there?
	Why aren't they being peer-reviewed?
	Well, the thousand people are out there.
	I don't know if you can't find it.
	I'm not a medical doctor.
	I just know that Ben Carson, who's on the task force, he brought it to the president going...
	Ben Carson has, in the past, been paid to promote supplements and got in trouble for it back in 2015.
	So he has a track record on that.
	You are telling people that this cures COVID. You have no studies to prove it.
	And you're saying 1,000 people were tested.
	Where?
	When I seen the test of 1,000 people that it was safe.
	That's all I needed.
	Sir, if you've seen this test, where is it?
	I've been taking it since April.
	If you've seen this test, where is it?
	About 100 of my friends and family.
	This thing works.
	It's the miracle of all time.
	Sir, you said you've seen this test.
	Where is it?
	So, poor Mike.
	And what was he thinking?
	It just makes no sense.
	Well, yeah, I know what he was thinking.
	He's a very self-confident, self-made billionaire for all I know.
	Right.
	And he was from pillows and sales pitches.
	And he's no agenda listener.
	He's naive.
	And he went on there thinking they're going to help him promote this good-for-mankind herb.
	What a fool!
	And he got...
	Got the rug pulled out for Monroe because he wasn't thinking.
	He had no knowledge to know better.
	He needs to just...
	I feel sorry for guys who would get ambushed by the media.
	Yeah, well, I mean, I thought he would have a little more savvy than to let himself get ambushed like that.
	But it's futile.
	It's futile.
	It's futile.
	Because...
	That's totally futile.
	This is futile.
	Australia has made, and New Zealand, they've made this leapfrog over a whole bunch of stuff we've already been through, and they're going straight to where it counts.
	There will be strong, you know, I suspect the majority of Australians will get vaccinated, and there will be a strong public view that those who choose not to get vaccinated need to...
	There needs to be some sort of incentive stick, perhaps, through the current programs, including no jab, no pay, to make that happen.
	So I think that is a very reasonable interpretation of what the PM had to say today.
	Again, looking at specific things like not being able to go into restaurants, not being able to travel internationally.
	You're screwed!
	They got the incentive stick!
	The incentive stick.
	You get a little tattoo with a number on your forearm.
	And don't you dare think...
	Your vaccination number.
	Don't you dare think, you slaves of the prison colony.
	Don't you think you can get away with it?
	The feds are everywhere.
	Police are preparing to launch their aerial arsenal as part of a crackdown on COVID rule breakers.
	High-powered drones will be used to find people not wearing masks and cars too far from home.
	Over the next week, Victoria Police will dispatch drones.
	They'll be keeping a watch on St Kilda and Port Melbourne Beach, making sure skate parks and playgrounds remain empty and for those who head to the park, a mask is a must, or at least a face covering.
	Police have also been using drones to guard the New South Wales border.
	There's no escaping this high-powered aerial arsenal.
	It can be flown for seven kilometres.
	The camera is infrared, and it's so clear it can read a vehicle's number plate from 500 metres away.
	It doesn't really bother me.
	I'm doing the right thing, so I've got nothing to hide.
	I have nothing to hide.
	I'm a rule follower.
	Don't worry about me.
	And, of course, these drones are manufactured in China.
	Ha!
	Ha!
	We're also sending some data back home.
	You know, about rule followers.
	All this bullcrap about the schools.
	And we know a couple of teachers here.
	And they always...
	There's no plan.
	That's what I keep hearing.
	There's no plan.
	We don't have a plan.
	They expect some plan to come down and be created for the individual school.
	Open the school.
	Have a class.
	This is what I'm realizing.
	That, sadly, many teachers today don't have the skills or the creativity to come up with a plan.
	They are rule followers.
	Okay, got my curriculum, got my Google Classroom, got my Chromebooks, here's what I do.
	And it's been forced that way through initiatives such as Common Core, but also Commentard.
	And they're just, they don't have the capacity to put a, there's no entrepreneurial spirit by these people.
	I just don't think they have it.
	It's not what they do anymore.
	They don't think, there's no box to think out of.
	They're just in it, sitting in it all the time.
	Tell us what to do.
	We need the plan.
	And the plan needs to come from the administrators.
	The administrators, like, I don't know, a governor, you got a plan?
	Yeah, that's what they keep blaming Trump for.
	Yeah, but it's not his business.
	Every school is different.
	What happened to initiative?
	Yeah.
	Well, I don't think that...
	It's like kids, too.
	You know, there's no more initiative.
	Follow the rules.
	Yeah, millennials in particular.
	Yeah.
	Well, I was...
	Oh, man, I had some good conversation with the millennials.
	I have a front seat to some stuff, which is fantastic.
	Yeah.
	But, you know, these kids, they come out of school, whether they go to college or not, but the college is the worst.
	And, you know, it's like, hey, college degree, here's your $35,000 a year job.
	So they're disillusioned.
	They've got debt.
	They hate the system because they don't know how to get in it.
	They don't know how to do anything with the system.
	It's not easy.
	To get into politics.
	And it's so corrupt.
	There's so much money flying around.
	And that's just a capitalist system.
	Somehow they believe something else will be better.
	So they're just saying, you know what, I'll give in.
	But the only way that kids today can participate in the political process is through celebrities.
	Celebrities on social media.
	The whole DNC, I saw lots of celebrities.
	Clearly, they must be influencing something.
	That's my way.
	That's the way to be something in this world, is be like them.
	Well, that would account for the Instagram celebrities.
	Exactly.
	It's just a fractal of what we would call, at least us old fogies, would call real celebrities.
	Yes, us old fogies.
	I have three other things I learned from the millennials.
	I'm going to do a little rundown every couple of weeks I sit with them.
	Okay, so I've got one...
	The number one song in the country, number one video anywhere, and maybe number one in many countries, is Cardi B. Which I sent you the clip so you could take a look at it.
	Yeah, it's gross.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	But the millennials...
	I would say it comes as close to being satanical and disgusting...
	Mm-hmm.
	As anything I've ever seen that's actually not taken down.
	How's this even allowed to be?
	I mean, it's just something about it that makes your skin crawl.
	Well, the lyrics are quite interesting.
	You know, if you eat my ass, you're a bottom feeder.
	I mean, there's a lot of weird stuff in there, but the millennials, two female millennials, said to me, yeah, you know...
	What's the difference between this and the crap we've been hearing from male rappers for 20 years?
	Then I had no answer to that because it's just as bad.
	Just as bad.
	And it's what the kids want, man.
	The kids want this crap.
	It's deranged, but it doesn't matter if it's male or female.
	That's what they want.
	Oh, and then actually my favorite from the Millennials.
	I said, what do you think is going on with the USPS, the Postal Service?
	They know exactly what's happening.
	This is Trump.
	I bet they do.
	They didn't even say it's about the election.
	That's what's so interesting.
	Not at all.
	This is about Trump.
	He wants to privatize the post office, that horrible man that's so capitalist of him.
	And they have a plan to help save the post office, and they set it in unison by stamps.
	What?
	In order to save the post office, the millennials are telling each other to go buy stamps.
	I don't think it all becomes stamp collections.
	That just tickles me pink, man.
	I love that.
	Buy stamps.
	Buy stamps.
	Then a final piece of data I have on the changes in work habits.
	A buddy of mine who's in Dallas has his own IT firm, and he does all IT stuff for large companies.
	And I was talking to him, so what are the changes you're seeing?
	And the first thing he said is that...
	Every company that he is servicing right now is in the process or has already reduced their real estate portfolio by 40%.
	40% in anticipation of having a huge home workforce in place.
	They already have that in place, of course.
	Interesting, the remaining real estate they have will be increased...
	Oh, wait, wait.
	You're not talking about residential then?
	No, I'm talking about offices, companies with offices.
	Yeah, okay, that's different.
	I'm sorry, that's what I meant.
	So the companies...
	Commercial real estate is what you mean.
	Yes.
	What I said is these companies, they have reduced their real estate portfolio by 40%.
	What they're also doing is they're reconfiguring what they have left and where you had like a 200 by 200 space, that's now going to 275 or 300.
	You know, I used to give a speech in the 90s about telework.
	At the point they changed it from telecommuting, somebody dreamed of the word telework, and that's the word you're supposed to use.
	When that took place, I was giving a bunch of these speeches, talking about how these offices are stupid, and what's the point, and all the rest of it.
	And I gave this speech for so long, promoting telework, That I actually stopped giving this speech because nothing was happening.
	It wasn't going to happen.
	And now, because of this, it seems to be re-energized, this whole notion, to the point where they're actually taking action.
	This is a disaster.
	Well, I asked him very specifically about the human aspect of it and the performance aspect.
	So the human aspect, he says, is very interesting what has happened culturally.
	It used to be, if you were not in the office, you would do everything to make sure no one caught you.
	So, you know, if you were outside and someone heard a bird chirp on the conference call, like, busted!
	What are you doing?
	And so that has now changed where, you know, there's all kinds of examples of conference call, business calls, a kid comes in, Mommy, I gotta poop!
	You know, that kind of stuff.
	And now it's still seen as kind of endearing.
	It's endearing.
	But he says the pendulum's swung so far, it's coming back and people will have to professionalize.
	And I said, well, how about performance?
	And it's kind of unfair to ask him how these companies measure performance.
	He said, well...
	The call center guys are, of course, able to measure their performance very accurately because they have all the data you need to see how things are going with their workers.
	Productivity is up.
	It's up.
	On call centers, and he says the feeling he gets from all his clients in general, productivity is up.
	And I said, why?
	His answer was somewhat surprising.
	He says workers from home are very aware that their companies are tracking them, when they log in, what they're doing, and so it acts as an incentive to get your shit done.
	I thought that was fascinating because it's just another version of the, I know Facebook is tracking me, but look at all the great stuff I get for free.
	It's okay.
	So people are kind of negotiating that a little bit, and it's in their heads.
	Well, this is, again, I'll go back to my speeches, and the essay I wrote for the Cosmic Weenie on the working from home.
	Yeah.
	when people and I think this is a problem that's not being discussed and should be discussed when you first start working from home you're always more productive because you don't know how to work from home You're incompetent.
	Sure.
	And so you do it.
	You actually work a little harder.
	You're a little more paranoid about, you know, not having this opportunity last very long and all these things.
	And so you do you you're the productivity always goes up.
	Yeah.
	And then it and then after a while, we don't know what happens because this hasn't been kept as a long term experiment, except for people who are in the field all the time and are used to being working from home and they know what the how they should pace themselves.
	It's a pacing problem or anything, it seems to me.
	So I've always felt working from home is a way to improve productivity in almost any company.
	Well...
	So it's not a surprise.
	No, but things are going to change drastically, I think.
	Yeah, well, something about it is...
	I've kind of changed my mind about the idea.
	I think the people used to harp on, well, there's a teamwork aspect.
	You work with a bunch of people and you have to work together.
	Most businesses, it's like a team.
	You can't be a team if nobody ever sees each other.
	Interesting you say that because the number one integration he's doing these days is literally Microsoft Teams.
	He says, and those guys, they are just flooding the market.
	They're throwing everything in the kitchen sink in there just to have market share.
	They can't...
	He says, anyone who's using Slack, all the startups...
	He said, the startups I have, they're using different pieces.
	They plug it together.
	You can't get them off Slack.
	It's religion.
	But he says, Microsoft Teams, they are just flooding the zone and giving away great deals for corporations.
	And they will probably win some version of whatever the...
	Zoom, I think, is probably not a long-term stock play, I guess, unless you're short.
	I don't think that's going to go so well.
	Well, I like the idea that you throw a sports term in.
	Because I heard this term has been thrown around.
	I've been hearing it a lot.
	What term did I use?
	And I want you to explain it, because you used it.
	Okay.
	And not that I'm calling you out or anything.
	But when you said flooding the zone, what does that mean?
	Oh, interesting.
	I think it comes from basketball.
	I have no idea.
	No.
	Okay, I have no idea.
	Where does it come from?
	It's a football term.
	It is a football term?
	Okay.
	Where you have a zone defense and you have some area that you want to overprotect, you flood the zone with extra players.
	Gotcha.
	But people have been saying this constantly on TV and elsewhere, flooding the zone.
	Interesting.
	And every time I hear it, I'm thinking, I wonder if this guy even has a clue why he's saying that.
	Well, I can give you a little fun rundown of noodle gun changes made to the...
	Let's see, what is this?
	This has to be...
	Now I'm trying to think.
	Which sport is this?
	I guess it's...
	Maybe it's just for the electronic sports.
	So they're changing terms like auction or draft.
	So the draft, that term will now be changed to salary cap.
	The price of a player will be changed to salary, because of course, you know, you can't put a price on a black man's head.
	Wait, go back to that.
	What would you say?
	Start over.
	Okay.
	So I'm not sure if these are across the board in sports.
	Someone sent it to me, so I don't know.
	I just got it this morning.
	Okay.
	And it's about changes to vocabulary in the sporting world.
	So the changes that have been changed are being proposed to be changed.
	And I don't know which sport it is.
	I don't know shit about it, but I have this list.
	So the old term where you talk about drafting a player, draft is no longer going to be used.
	It will be salary cap.
	No, it won't.
	I'm just telling you what it says.
	But no, those two terms are completely discrepant.
	That's the problem.
	A salary cap refers to the overall budget that a team has allotted by the league, generally speaking, by rule.
	It's got nothing to do with it.
	Maybe I'm misreading that one.
	But maybe auction, because they have draft in parentheses, auction, could that be turned into a salary cap?
	I have no idea.
	I have no idea.
	This is nuts.
	We live in a crazy age.
	Let's move on.
	Price.
	I think some guy's buffaloed you.
	It's from Yahoo News.
	Price becomes salary.
	Owner or ownership becomes manager.
	Owned becomes rostered.
	Costs becomes average salary.
	The winning bid you won, this is all for draft stuff, becomes signed.
	The bid, it's taking away all these slave-like terms that sick people put together in their head.
	Well, these people need to get a therapist.
	Well, you're going to be watching it on TV, so it's coming, no matter what you want.
	It's all coming.
	Everything's changing.
	Then I wanted to, just before we get into some other fun stuff, I wanted to close the door on the Shadowgate for our producers, mainly because it's the most emailed link to me.
	Very interesting, of course, how you have this so-called documentary, and I think we both agree there's not really anything super new in it.
	It's a nice compendium of things.
	I like the, although no proof, I like the idea that the Obama phone was wrapped up in it.
	You know, I have to make a comment we didn't make, and I hate to do it because I don't want to be a sexist.
	But Millennial Millie, or whatever she calls herself, is incredibly photogenic.
	She is.
	She is.
	And I think Millie is really, Millie and her whole crew, really, the producer and everyone around there, I think are kind of victims in this.
	You need to know that Infowars and Alex Jones severed all relationships with them two days ago over this documentary.
	Why?
	Well, I'm...
	This is a documentary?
	Well, okay, so the meme that's out there that even some people who made this documentary...
	It's not a documentary.
	They believe that the deep state was trying to stop it from getting out...
	And that's why they didn't get it out.
	They were lucky to get it out.
	Millie got arrested.
	And Alex Jones is deep state, and that's why he wants nothing to do with him anymore.
	That's the story, and that's what people are believing.
	I just want to give you my view.
	I may be wrong, but I did quite a bit of work and background, really, on two of the players, Millie and this Torrey.
	Who is really the main focus of the whole video.
	Now Millie just comes from some kind of troubled past.
	She dated apparently the Girls Gone Wild guy, Joe Francis.
	So I don't think we have to say much more that Millie may have had some bad experiences.
	And she's probably just a really sweet girl.
	But I think she's being taken advantage of.
	And After listening, I watched the whole video again, and then I listened to two episodes of this Tori, T-O-R-E. And she has a very, you know, you try and look into her, there's no evidence that she had any NDAs with companies that have expired, and therefore she can say all this stuff and everything.
	And she had the Seth Rich server, and then she didn't have it, and the cops won her.
	She's very well versed in legal terms and likes to say, I'm suing you, my legal team is ready.
	She has lawsuits.
	The city in North Dakota is still suing her over some charity called the Magic City Christmas where she had GoFundMes and PayPals, and she didn't have a permit.
	They asked her to get a permit.
	She didn't do it.
	She tried to get the bank to sponsor.
	And she was just sending out materials with the sponsor's logos as if they had agreed to it.
	And she got called on it.
	And then she tried to run for mayor.
	There was people protesting her becoming a mayor.
	I have videos of her being a doctor.
	She's Dr.
	Torre, a PhD from Harvard.
	Also, she got a Purple Heart and many other medals in her military service, which is also not verifiable at all.
	So she just has a whole bunch of stuff going on.
	Checkered past.
	Very checkered past.
	Now she shows up in Millie's life, by her own words, around February.
	She's very good at picking up things and stringing them together.
	A lot of things she says are not verifiable or true at all.
	I think she was using this to increase her profile.
	By the way, she was doing her so-called syndicated radio show.
	Yeah, they played her for free on Red State Radio.
	Even those guys kicked her off.
	They wanted nothing to do with it because she's trouble.
	And I also think that she may have somehow manipulated this arrest because she was well aware of the situation with Millie and her mother.
	It was a domestic disturbance.
	That's why someone has to be arrested.
	But she had this whole call on her podcast with Millie and she's crying.
	Millie's like, okay, yeah.
	And she's like, oh, Millie, I feel so bad.
	I don't want to play it.
	What I do want to play is her next victim.
	Her next victim, who she's been grooming, and this is all just me.
	I have no evidence whatsoever.
	It's just my feeling.
	I know people.
	I've been around.
	I've been grifted myself.
	Now she's sucking up to the new candidate for representative in Congress, Laura Loomer.
	What you need to understand is that Laura Loomer...
	She's going to fix this.
	Two ways she's going to fix it.
	She's going to file a lawsuit and you're going to be like, well, okay, let her file a lawsuit against Jack Dorsey.
	It's not going to be against Jack Dorsey.
	If Time Traveling Tory remembers correctly, I'm just joking.
	It'll probably be something like YouTube, Instagram, or Facebook.
	And it won't be for millions of dollars.
	It's going to be historic.
	It's going to be billions.
	Three to five billion.
	And I'll be like, hey, can I join in?
	Because I'd like to buy a house so that I can live right next to you so we can hang out all the time in Washington, D.C. And you're going to be like, but she doesn't live in Washington.
	Guess what, guys?
	This woman, she's going to Congress.
	And I'm going with her.
	She is going to Congress because she is going to change the world as you know it.
	And you're going to be like, Tori, that's crazy.
	I say a lot of things that may sound a little bit off, but, you know, maybe they'll come out.
	And you'll be like, oh, maybe Tori was right.
	She does a lot of this.
	Yeah, you know, I started Parler.
	I got Laura on there.
	I'm not verified because Laura hasn't time to send the email to get me verified.
	It's all crap.
	This is not a whistleblower who worked in some deep state operation recruited by the Brennan people herself, as she said.
	All the things she put were in there, I think are probably true, but she's not some magical person who just all of a sudden comes along and hears this treasure trove.
	No.
	No.
	So I'm closing the door on Shadowgate.
	No one else has to contact me about it.
	It's disappointing.
	Very disappointing.
	But I feel bad for Millie and her crew and her producers and her boyfriend and her mom and her kids and everybody.
	I think this Tory woman is just bad news.
	Bad news.
	It's interesting that you point out that she's glommed on to Laura Loomer, who's actually made a move politically, which is something I never expected from her, because she was mostly a prankster.
	And I think she's been around...
	This is the type of person who hovers around people.
	And by the way, her full name is Tori Maras Lindemann.
	L-I-N-D-E-M-A-N-N. So, yeah, Laura won her primary in Florida.
	Yeah, that she could get in, and she doesn't need...
	Well, the problem that this woman's going to run into is that once Laura gets to Washington and the professional staffers, she has to staff her office.
	And you don't staff your office with a bunch of hangers on.
	No, well, Trump did in the beginning.
	I think he learned his lesson, too.
	Yeah, you end up with professionals who basically are in Washington, D.C. all their lives on different staffs of different congressmen.
	And they are a Democrat group and a Republican group.
	Very seldom do they cross over, although they do.
	The high, super high-end guys do.
	And they're expensive.
	She'll get those guys in, and they're just going to rouse her.
	So that'll be the end of that.
	Let's hope.
	Anyway, I'm saying this more for the kids who are doing this.
	This woman, she saw the budget.
	The whole documentary became about her.
	She orchestrated this whole thing.
	Everything that's in there.
	She got the crazy guy who wrote the book 20 years ago.
	She's very good.
	She's very good.
	But please, there's a lot to worry about.
	This is not one of them.
	This is not one of them.
	By the way, it was funny.
	I got an email this morning from the marketing director of KaiOS, which is the mobile operating system that powers the flip phone.
	Which I've been using.
	Yeah, you're the big promoter.
	You're the number one guy.
	You're the celebrity promoter of the flip phone.
	So here's the problem.
	So they got a hold of you.
	Yeah.
	He said, hey, I heard you talk.
	I said, I heard John Rogan, and now I hear you talking about this.
	This is fantastic.
	Even though we really tried to sell this as...
	A starter device for people who don't have a lot of money and just want some basic functionality.
	We're seeing the value of this as a detox phone is what they're calling it.
	I think I've probably sold about a hundred of them through the show.
	I think lots of people went out and bought one when I started talking about it.
	And here comes the downside of our model.
	He's like, well, you know, we could hire you as an ambassador.
	I'm like, no, you can't.
	You can't.
	So why not?
	Because then I'm not credible with any other product.
	I don't know.
	Oh, please!
	No!
	No, it's not right.
	It's not right.
	Oh, brother.
	Hey, I'm open to proposals.
	If you have some hybrid kind of way...
	I don't know.
	It just feels kind of weird.
	Am I going to have to talk about the phone on the show and be getting paid for it?
	That's the problem.
	No, you talked about the phone on the show.
	When you talk about that, you don't go on and on.
	If you already made your point about the phone, I don't think you're going to need to talk about the phone on the show.
	But if you wanted to be an ambassador, which would be outside the show, I don't see a problem with it personally.
	How about this?
	I could just say, hey, I don't know, man.
	We got producers from all over the place.
	If you want to send a donation to the show, you know what to do.
	That's the other way of doing it.
	I don't think that's his idea.
	No, of course it's not his idea.
	I mean, I'm game for that, yeah, sure, because then I get half of your ambassadorship income, which is fine with me.
	But you have to wear the sash.
	I'm thinking...
	A couple of things.
	One, for your profile, it's not a bad idea to be out there holding a phone in a TV ad or doing something, promoting the idea.
	Okay, here's the way I would look at it.
	Ah, here we go.
	Yes, we're on.
	It comes to me as I go.
	Yeah, I know.
	You're a genius.
	You're a huge, massive advocate of the off-the-grid lifestyle.
	I am.
	What better way than to get paid to do this to a larger audience that is completely outside the show?
	These are people mostly that will not listen to No Agenda.
	And you might actually drag a few customers into the No Agenda family in the process.
	It would be a win-win.
	Win-win.
	No one's going to give a crap.
	And this nonsense about, oh, oh, oh, you know, this idea that you're going to just got to do it.
	Excuse me!
	Did I sound like that?
	That's what your psyche sounded like.
	It's like, I won't be able to promote no one will trust me anymore.
	It's nonsense.
	I didn't say that.
	I'll give you this.
	First of all, stop.
	I did not say no one will trust me.
	That's not what I said, but that's what you received.
	You said something along those lines.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay, I'm winning.
	Here's an example of the way I always approach this sort of thing.
	In the United States, if you work for a publication and some company like Samsung, for example, wants to take you on a junket, literally a junket to Korea, to look at one of their fabs.
	Mm-hmm.
	You're supposed to go through channels and you're supposed to...
	You can't let them pay for anything.
	This is all part of the New York Times ethics listings of things you can do and you can't do.
	But in Europe...
	And I found this out during a junket in Europe.
	I talked to all the guys that were at PCMagUK and other journalists and all these different magazines.
	I know a lot of them in Europe.
	Brits, mostly.
	Oh, that's crazy!
	Why should your company be paying to send you all the way to Korea to look at their factory?
	They should be sending you themselves because it doesn't make any sense otherwise.
	You're just wasting money to go look at somebody's factory and then you're supposed to write about it one way or the other?
	It doesn't make any sense.
	And that's the European approach to this same exact dilemma.
	The United States approach is because the New York Times says it's bad.
	And the New York Times can say that because they have a huge budget and they send people all over the place.
	And little newspapers and magazines can't afford to, but they feel obliged not to because they can't afford it.
	And they don't let the company send them.
	Well, I used to always take these things up and I'd make a big stink about it.
	No, you're not paying to send me.
	Samsung's paying to send me because I'm not getting it.
	Why should you waste your money sending me to Korea?
	So Samsung sends me, I go over there and I write a scathing review of some article because I'm irked about the whole thing anyway.
	And I always tell other writers, I say, look, you get sent on a junket to some place, you might as well just say what you think because they're never going to invite you back because they got you over there the one time.
	They're never going to send you twice.
	So it's not like you're going to all of a sudden be on their payroll.
	It's never going to happen.
	Okay, okay, hold on.
	I'm with you.
	Okay, so my point, you know what my point is?
	My point is that you can still be honest and take this ambassadorship.
	Okay.
	I wish we had had this conversation years ago when I was offered the ambassadorship for the Microsoft Zoom.
	That was supposed to evoke a laugh a little bit sooner than that.
	I can't believe how long it took for the punchline to hit crap.
	Jeez.
	Because I first heard the word Zoom.
	And I'm thinking to myself, that's why I took it.
	I said, what the fuck is Microsoft Zoom?
	And then I said, oh, Zoom!
	All right, all right.
	I'll keep the dialogue open.
	I will report back.
	We'll see what happens.
	Should be interesting.
	Hey, free phones for everybody.
	Put money in your pocket.
	I know!
	It's like I'm so against money.
	All right, I think that's about all I have for the important updates, but we have a lot more to talk about.
	Can we talk to press conferences?
	Or can I do at least a Kaylee?
	Yeah, you're on.
	You're up, baby.
	Flood the zone, JCD. I'm going to flood the zone.
	All right.
	There was a couple of press...
	Kaylee gave a press conference followed by a Trump press conference, and I thought that was peculiar.
	And so she comes out, and Kaylee comes out in the morning, and then Trump comes out in the afternoon, same press room, same people.
	Mm-hmm.
	I only have two Kaylee because one is the opening attack she has.
	She comes on like gangbusters.
	Nobody asks her a thing about what she says, by the way.
	They go on and on about these idiosyncrasies about Trump said this or Trump said that.
	What did he mean?
	But let's listen to her opening.
	This is Kaylee opening.
	Hello, everyone.
	Where is Nancy Pelosi?
	The House is in recess.
	House and Senate Democrats left town after failing to compromise and make a deal to provide relief to the American people.
	While Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues went home, this president remained hard at work.
	President Trump took executive action, including stopping evictions, providing unemployment insurance, pausing student loan payments, cutting the payroll tax, which put money in the pockets of all Americans.
	Democrats apparently were unable to stick around to make a deal.
	Now, suddenly, Democrats will be rushing back to Washington.
	But why?
	The answer is...
	The United States Postal Service.
	It's a stunning turn of events.
	Democrats went home after accomplishing nothing.
	No deal on stimulus checks.
	No deal on small business relief.
	No deal on eviction protections.
	The concerns of everyday Americans were not the concerns of Democrats on Capitol Hill.
	So where is Nancy Pelosi?
	She and her Democrat colleagues will be back in Washington soon to pursue their latest manufactured crisis, the Postal Service.
	Democrats denied a $10 billion offer for the U.S. Postal Service by this president before they went on recess.
	But now they're back to pursue the latest Democrat-manufactured crisis.
	It's sad, but it's clear where Democrats' priorities stand.
	And with that, I'll take questions.
	Okay.
	Well...
	She rolls through a bunch of lame questions.
	She goes on for about a half an hour longer.
	There is one little caveat I just wanted to place about those executive orders.
	Um...
	That money that she just said that was all there is only if states apply for it.
	So they have to actually fill out the form and say we want this because it falls under different regulations.
	And it's very interesting to see who has and has not applied.
	I think there's 10 or 11 states that have applied.
	Texas has not applied.
	I'm sure that's a pride thing.
	And South Dakota also, and that's Noam State, right?
	Noam.
	What's her name?
	Noam.
	And so they also declined to...
	Which is interesting that the states say, no, we really don't need any federal help.
	We'll be okay.
	And there's quite a few of them.
	Yeah, that's weird.
	So, anyway, so she goes on through the whole thing.
	There's nothing worth a crap.
	But at the end...
	We have her leaving.
	She doesn't even berate the media or anything.
	She just closes her books and leaves.
	And then so all of a sudden, just as she's leaving, you can hear this in this last clip, a heckler, and I believe it was Acosta, Jim Acosta, Okay, here we go.
	Starts yelling.
	I don't know why they allow this.
	It seems to be amateurish to allow this.
	It happens to Trump, too.
	When they're walking off, they start screaming at him.
	They had their opportunity to get a question and they didn't get it and they get called on eventually.
	They can ask it eventually.
	But in this case, we have Kayleigh closing the book Walking off the stage and then you hear in the back Jim Acosta screaming at her.
	And I think it's him.
	It's either him or John Carl, one of the two.
	Because that's the voice.
	They have a similar voice.
	And Acosta is screaming at her as she leaves the room, and you can hear it, and we can see, if you can't hear it, we'll discuss it.
	Hold on, I'm going to make sure I boost it, because it looks on the waveform looks a little low, so I'll give it a little turbo boost.
	Alright, here we go.
	The president will be back here in the pipe in your mouth.
	They're still doing the bounties on American soldiers story?
	Yeah.
	Jeez.
	And the reason...
	Here's what I think.
	I believe that...
	That was screamed at that point because it was loud.
	It was much louder than usual.
	And it got on the air.
	I believe that's to cover for the fact that Biden is going to mention this in his acceptance speech.
	Ah!
	Huh.
	Yeah, that would have been Acosta.
	Those guys would know.
	Those guys would know.
	So they're priming the pump.
	Well, they also primed the pump with Trump with another question.
	This was fantastic.
	I don't know exactly which one.
	QAnon has to be QAnon.
	Oh, no, I got that too.
	But let's go.
	But I want to play the Trump leaving the stage.
	Oh, okay.
	Trump kind of pulled a Kaley here.
	This is the end of the Trump.
	Then we'll go to QAnon.
	These two hecklers together.
	This is Trump presser.
	Trump slams Obama.
	Slams?
	Oh no!
	Whoa!
	You got butt slammed!
	He butt slammed Obama.
	And then as he leaves, there's another heckler.
	And the hecklers also, I think, is either a cost or one of the other guys.
	And it will be another point that Biden's going to make in the speech.
	The virus came in.
	The greatest economy in the history of the world.
	And now we're doing it again.
	I'm going to have to do it a second time.
	We're doing it again.
	It's hard to believe.
	We're doing very well.
	You heard the numbers.
	They're way, way down on the virus.
	But when you look at the kind of numbers that we're producing on the stock markets, we're almost at the level.
	In fact, Nasdaq and S&P are higher than they were earlier.
	At the highest point prior to the China virus coming in, the plague coming in.
	Now, President Obama did not do a good job, and the reason I'm here is because of President Obama and Joe Biden.
	Because if they did a good job, I wouldn't be here.
	And probably if they did a good job, I wouldn't have even run.
	I would have been very happy.
	I enjoyed my previous life very much.
	But they did such a bad job that I stand before you as president.
	Thank you all very much.
	Thank you.
	I couldn't hear that.
	For some reason, I focused on the female voice.
	I could not hear.
	No, it was a guy yelling, 170,000 dead.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, that was all over this past few days on the DNC spectacle.
	Yeah, they're talking 170,000 Americans dead.
	Except Michelle Obama, because when she pre-taped, it was only 150.
	Now, so back to the Trump, there's two, I got a number of Trump commentaries.
	One is on the F-35, which is a quick 26 second thing.
	And I don't know where he's coming from on this F-35, but most, I thought somebody, one of our military guys out there, tell me I'm wrong.
	It's a turkey.
	It's supposed to be a turd.
	But he's all over it because apparently the Saudis and the UAE are going to buy a crap load of them.
	He's happy to sell that turkey.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, let's listen to Trump on the F-35.
	We're going to get QAnons at the end.
	They would like to order quite a few F-35s.
	It's the greatest fighter jet in the world, as you know by force.
	Stealth.
	Totally stealth.
	You can't see it.
	Makes it very difficult.
	I was asking a pilot, what do you think is better?
	This one, this one, that one?
	Talking about Russian planes, Chinese planes.
	He said, well, the advantage we have is you can't see it.
	So when we're fighting, they can't see us.
	I say, that sounds like a really big advantage to me.
	You know, the F-35 still can't fly in lightning.
	For whatever reason.
	You can't do anything.
	I think he's selling.
	If he can sell that thing, good on him.
	I got nothing but complaints from what I hear.
	He's doing a good job there.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So he starts off right away on the press conference.
	And this question, this is the first of two.
	She asks the initial question, then she does a follow-up.
	The follow-up question is the funny one.
	But let's listen to QAnon question for Trump.
	Please.
	During the pandemic, the QAnon movement appears to be getting a lot of followers.
	Can you talk about what you think about that and what you have to say to people who are following this movement right now?
	Well, I don't know much about the movement other than I understand they like me very much.
	Which I appreciate, but I don't know much about the movement.
	I have heard that it is gaining in popularity, and from what I hear, these are people that, when they watch the streets of Portland, when they watch what happened in New York City in just the last six or seven months, but this was starting even four years ago when I came here.
	Almost four years, can you believe it?
	These are people that don't like seeing what's going on in places like Portland and places like Chicago and New York and other cities and states.
	And I've heard these are people that love our country and they just don't like seeing it.
	So I don't know really anything about it other than they do supposedly like me.
	And they also would like to see problems in these areas, like especially the areas that we're talking about, go away.
	Because there's no reason the Democrats can't run a city.
	And if they can't, we will send in all of the federal, whether it's troops or law enforcement, whatever they'd like.
	We'll send them in.
	We'll straighten out their problem in 24 hours or less.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	I have a question.
	Who asked that question?
	Who was the reporter?
	I don't know.
	Because the reporter...
	Did you put a camera on her?
	I have no idea.
	This was a set-up question because every single journalist in the mainstream calls this the QAnon conspiracy theory.
	She said QAnon movement.
	Uh-uh.
	That was set up.
	There's not...
	Unless it's OAN... Which also means it's set up.
	That was a set up question.
	No journalist speaks of Q. Well, there's plenty of set up questions.
	But it was a set up for Trump.
	He knew it was coming.
	Yes.
	Now I'm sure of it.
	Well, I'm sure that it seemed to me, because Kayleigh was asked about this in the early morning, about QAnon, and she just said, no, that's the president.
	She didn't even bother with it.
	I don't know if this was done so the president could just posture a little bit and say they like me and then bitch about the Democrats running cities and the kids says they can't do it.
	No, I think he wanted a QAnon question and he had an answer well prepared.
	That's a very poor answer, in my opinion.
	But, and I don't know if it was a weird question.
	Nobody knows, but it'll incite a lot of discussion.
	But the question, it seemed to me that it wasn't as set up as the second one.
	Well, the second one was perhaps the real set up.
	Well, the second question was funnier.
	And Trump wouldn't address it directly because it was so crazy.
	This question was out there.
	And so she follows up, same woman, follows up.
	And like I said, I don't know who it was.
	You can't tell because they're all wearing masks.
	And I'm still waiting for our troll room.
	Way in the back, the real gorgeous brunette, and I hate to be sexist by saying that.
	Yeah, who takes her mask off when she speaks.
	She takes her mask off.
	She's no fool.
	She's a little superstar.
	She knows what she's doing.
	She's got a good manager.
	That's what she got.
	Trolls, find out who asked that question.
	What's wrong with you?
	My goodness.
	I don't think they're going to find out.
	But anyway, so let's go to the follow-up question, which is the zinger.
	Well, at the cross of the theory is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this satanic...
	Well, I haven't heard that, but...
	I'm sorry, hold on.
	Hold on.
	Does she now say conspiracy theory?
	She said theory.
	The process of the theory is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals.
	Does that sound like something you are behind?
	Well, I haven't heard that, but...
	Is that supposed to be a bad thing or a good thing?
	If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it.
	I'm willing to put myself out there.
	And we are, actually.
	We're saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country.
	And when this country is gone, the rest of the world would follow.
	This was...
	Such an injection for the movement, John.
	QAnon freaked out.
	It's true!
	He knows!
	Yes, it's classic.
	Classic.
	A satanic cult of pedophiles and cannibals.
	Yeah, that's the...
	That's adrenochrome.
	Yeah, and Pizzagate, and eating children, and drinking their blood, and God knows what else.
	And I just like, is that a bad thing if I'm doing that?
	I mean, that was, to me, the moment of the week.
	I agree.
	We're just going to do a clip of the day for whoever that reporter was.
	Clip of the day.
	And please pick up your prize at the front desk and let us know who you are.
	Yeah, sign in.
	It made my day.
	That was so funny.
	Because no one asked that.
	And all of a sudden, again, I'm just suspicious of the...
	Movement, and not the conspiracy, because it's always said incorrectly.
	QAnon is a conspiracy theory.
	No, it's not.
	Movement is much more accurate.
	It's much more accurate, but is that actually, does that qualify as a great question?
	You know, it might.
	I'm very reluctant to say anything is a great question.
	Damn close.
	That comes pretty damn close.
	Oh, man.
	I tell you what, you want to take a break?
	We're an hour and 17 in, and I can't wait to see what other laughs we've got coming up.
	So I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the DNC, John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning, all ships to sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, slubs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls.
	Trolls, you be failing me.
	Oh, NBC reporter.
	Okay, at least we know something.
	It was an NBC reporter, which is interesting.
	We've got 1,504 trolls in there, four above our typical average, so good to have you all here.
	Thank you.
	You can join the trolls.
	If you live under a bridge, your access is guaranteed.
	otherwise, go over to noagendastream.com and get into our little chat room there where the trolls hang out and you're listening to the live stream.
	It's a 24-7 stream, so there's always a podcast that's cool.
	There's a lot of live, a lot of interaction with the troll room, and you are welcome to hit up Doug in the troll room for an invite to noagendasocial.com, our federated social network so cool that even John C. Dvorak has given up Twitter for noagendasocial, noagendasocial.com.
	You can't just sign up there.
	You've got to get your invite from somebody already on there or from Doug in the Troll Room.
	As part of our Value for Value network and the entire way the show works, we have so many artists who are always helping us to look good with fresh album art.
	One of the few podcasts anywhere in the world that does this.
	And we have Darren O'Neill to thank.
	His now staple red background, which he thinks will get his art chosen every time, got lucky.
	And he brought us the artwork for 1269.
	We titled that one pre-bunked.
	It was the Deep State University sweatshirt, which I can only think would probably be something that the No Agenda Shop guys would be working on, I hope.
	Because everybody looked at that and went, oh my god, I love that.
	Well, we have a few people to thank.
	Well, I was kind of looking for some feedback.
	Did you like the art?
	I mean, you have nothing to say about the art?
	I was scrounging around for something I needed to talk about.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, I liked the art a lot.
	I thought the art was a good piece.
	And he's, of course, it was one of those moments that O'Neill comes in when he feels like he has to win because he didn't win last time.
	And he floods the zone.
	Yes, that's exactly what he does.
	There was something you wanted...
	I remember you wanted to say something about the art from the last show.
	You said, this needs to be discussed.
	Let me see if I can find anything.
	Yeah, there was some I had a tip.
	I had a gripe, maybe.
	I would say a gripe maybe is highly likely, but I don't know exactly what it was.
	There's a lot of skip logics we got.
	That wasn't it.
	I don't know.
	I mean, it's so diverse.
	It's so beautiful.
	Everybody should take a look.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com.
	You can just print this stuff out just to have it.
	It's so pretty.
	You can probably...
	Get in touch with the artists and get a large version of it if you want.
	And as I mentioned, these things often show up at NoAgendaShop.com.
	They've got their own thing going on.
	They help out the artists and the show as well.
	And go look at it.
	It's part of a value for value.
	Darren, thank you so much.
	Darren O'Neill, flooding the zone with the art for episode 1269, NoAgendaArt.com.
	Oh yeah, here's my point.
	I remember.
	Because I'm looking at the same artist's piece for today, which is quite nice.
	This artist did a bunch of these false information error message looking things.
	Oh yeah, like your iPhone had given you...
	The problem is it looks so much like an image fail.
	Like a real one.
	Right.
	That if it showed up on the feed, it would look like the image failed.
	It looks real.
	Sometimes it can be too realistic.
	I mean, it looks like...
	So that was a...
	I just wanted to mention why that one wasn't going to be picked.
	And he did four of them.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Let's thank...
	Let's thank the people who helped us.
	Sir John Rutter is at the top of the list.
	He actually has a full title.
	John Rutter, this is $1,008.22 from Wappinger Falls, New York.
	Sir.
	I believe he's a baron or something.
	I guess not.
	Anyway, he writes a note in a memo form, I might add.
	Hi, John and Adam.
	I might find attached to $1,008.22 by donation from my lovely wife, Kelly.
	A few years ago, she provided me with the title Sir John, Black Knight of the Coventry.
	That's who he is.
	Ah.
	So for her birthday on Saturday, August 22nd, I'd like her to become an Instadame, Dame Nana Banana, which her seven grandchildren fondly call her.
	Oh, nice.
	That's a lot of grandkids.
	We have been regular listeners since the beginning when we used to listen to Cranky Geeks and the Daily Source Code.
	Now she often asks when we get in the car if we have a new download so we can listen to The Boys.
	I love that we're The Boys.
	Please wish we're very happy.
	The Boys.
	The Boys.
	Okay.
	The Boys.
	Yeah.
	Um...
	Happy birthday, 822, and welcome her to the round table as Dame Nana Banana.
	No karma, but a couple of jingles.
	Okay.
	Sorry I should mention them, but at the top, Al Sharpton's Respect, followed by That's True.
	Okay.
	And a karma?
	No karma.
	No karma.
	Specifically no karma.
	Going hardcore.
	Here we go.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T. That's true.
	Well, thank you, then.
	Nothing for the roundtable, huh?
	It's just straight up and down.
	Nope, nope.
	That's all we got.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	I've got a domain name called hypercrawl.com.
	I wonder what that is.
	What are you talking about?
	Hypercrawl.
	Are you doing, like, some coding on the side?
	No, it's what he said.
	He said hypercrawl.
	It's part of his email address.
	Oh, oh!
	Willie Noon's next on the list from San Ramon, California.
	Maybe he's got a search engine that's a hypercrawler.
	How about an email crawler?
	That's what I'm looking for.
	Lily Noon from San Ramon, California comes in for $1,000.
	This donation is long overdue in honor of my husband, Edward Noon, on her 46th wedding anniversary.
	Please deduce both of us.
	We can certainly do that.
	You've been deduced.
	You should probably do two since it is two people.
	That's only fair.
	You've been deduced.
	You've been deduced.
	And I think their donation qualifies for a little extra touch.
	Good karma she wants for all listeners and supporters, and of course for yourselves, John and Adam.
	So do we have any titles that go with this?
	I mean, it's $1,000.
	Someone could be an Instadame or Instanite.
	Maybe she'll get back to us.
	I hope she does.
	I hope she does.
	Well, thank you very much, Lillian and Edward.
	You've got...
	46 years together, and they never had a fight!
	Christian LeClaire, you want to read this one?
	Yeah, $3,344.53 from Australia, so that is probably about $8,000.
	No, it's 500 Australian dollary dues.
	You get $344.53 for it.
	But we really appreciate it.
	First time donor here.
	Thank you for all you do to keep our amygdala small and our eyes open.
	This donation of 500 Australian dollar dues is in honor of my drive to get to 500 members of the political party that I've started to contest the upcoming Queensland state election.
	OK.
	I have been dismayed at what has become of Queensland and Australia as a result of the COVID-19 response.
	The destruction of our basic human rights and our economy is something I didn't think I would ever see in my lifetime.
	Similarly, the absolute lack of questioning by the media or any other political party is leading us down a dark path towards an Orwellian nightmare.
	But it doesn't have to be this way.
	It's always darkest before dawn and we still have the most powerful tool of the people in our hands, our vote.
	However, our vote means nothing if our only options are bad and worse.
	This is why it is critically important to get another voice in this coming election.
	We don't have much time to get the party registered.
	I cannot do that without 500 plus members officially registering the party.
	Well, we may actually have enough people to help you out.
	The party platform is repeal COVID-19 laws, restore our rights, renew Queensland.
	We must not stand by and watch our state and country be destroyed by the political elite.
	I ask any Queensland-based producers to take five minutes to go to our website, renewqld.org, Sign up today and share the link.
	If you could include the website link in the show notes, of course, I'd be happy to do that.
	Sign up today, Slave, he says.
	If we can hit the 500-plus members before August 22nd, I will donate another 500 to Knight the Party.
	Thanks, Christian Renu, QLD. Please de-douche and political karma, political party goat karma.
	And so then he has...
	Can you read those jingles?
	What does he have?
	Shut ups.
	Wait, my eyes are failing me.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	Hello?
	Are you there?
	Yeah.
	I need some help here!
	I said, read it out for me, man!
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Shut up, slave.
	No, no, no.
	And, uh, little girl, yay.
	Oh, okay.
	That's all I was asking for.
	You're doing something else.
	I can feel it.
	I don't know what's going on, but you're doing something else.
	Something else.
	Shut up, slave.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	Hey!
	Yay!
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Sir Sander, Earl of the Swiss Alps in Zondam, Netherlands, 333.33.
	Many thanks, ACD and JCD, for keeping as much soul sane as possible.
	Not bad.
	Not bad.
	He said, het zijn gekke tijden.
	Het zijn gekke tijden is what he wrote.
	It's crazy.
	We live in crazy times.
	And he, of course, is Earl of the Swiss Alps.
	Sir Shander, thank you.
	Oh, that's what they mean?
	We live in crazy times?
	That's a good one.
	Yeah, het zijn gekke tijden.
	Or we just say gekke tijden.
	Huh.
	It sounds like a puke.
	Sir, oh, sorry.
	Do you need some jingle?
	No, no, no, we're good.
	Okay.
	Sir Quistan in Blyton, Lincoln's shirt.
	It says Lincoln's shirt.
	It's Lincoln's shirt.
	Yeah.
	Lincoln's shirt.
	Lincoln's shirt, Blyton.
	333.33 out in the UK. This time I'll remember to sign my knighthood name.
	It's on show 1261.
	I forgot.
	Those drunk donations are the best donations.
	Just a job's karma for everyone out there.
	Sir...
	Quistan.
	You got it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	Now we have the famous restaurateur, Marco Schempf.
	I understand I can't pronounce it.
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	333.33 is in Zurich.
	On 8.8.2020, at 3.33, our human resource at 3.33 in the morning, I guess, Ludwig Odenschempf was born.
	My Scandinavian goddess and myself are incredibly happy and tired.
	My wife went for long walks during the corona lockdown listening to the best podcast in the universe.
	She's a fan now.
	Apparently she wasn't when this began.
	Thank you, COVID. We particularly enjoyed the China deconstruction and hope for more clips from Kaylee.
	Well served today.
	Sure.
	Please play Obama explaining the American...
	By the way, they are restaurateurs.
	They've got a nice spot in Zurich.
	Please play Obama explaining the American dream.
	I have it.
	And please send some restaurant karma and general karma for all.
	Love and light green jelly and carrots to you and such.
	But we needed to restore the basic bargain that made this country great.
	The basic deal that created the greatest middle class and the most prosperous economy the world has ever known.
	And it's a simple bargain.
	It says, if you work hard, your work should be rewarded.
	If you act responsibly and you put in enough effort, you should be able to find a job that pays the bills.
	Have a home you can call your own.
	Count on health care when you get sick.
	Put away enough to retire with dignity and respect.
	And most of all, give your kids An education that allows them to dream even bigger than you did and do even better than you did.
	That's the American promise.
	That's the American dream.
	That's right.
	Just get a job, work like a slave, retire.
	That's the American dream, everybody.
	You've got karma.
	Snap!
	I love that clip.
	Yeah, it's a classic.
	It's a classic.
	It says it all.
	Sir Joe of Delaware is next up from Wilmington.
	Curiously, Joe.
	33333.
	Nice.
	I would like the title Baron of Old Bay and claim the remaining parts of Delmarva Peninsula, etc., I think.
	And this is the state of Delaware and the unclaimed eastern shore of Virginia, but not Maryland, since that is the island of Sir GQ, Baron of Maryland.
	I'm glad these guys are keeping up with this.
	Hashtag FEMA Region 3 strong.
	Crab cakes and dogfish 90s at the round table.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Well, jobs, karma for anyone out there who needs it.
	Love and light.
	The Baron of Old Bay.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	A goodly amount of these exact same donations from Christy Jensen.
	She's next with 333.33.
	Top of the morning.
	It's my birthday today, so my donation is that you're on the list, coming your way.
	I got whacked in the mouth around May.
	This year's hit in the mouth, by the way.
	This year by my friend Ken P. And found out my sister, Jenny J., listens to you both as well.
	Neither is donated.
	Two douchebag call-outs, please.
	Okay.
	Oh, for both each of them?
	Okay.
	Oh, wait, wait.
	The way she's worded this...
	Hold it.
	Stop.
	Just in time.
	The way she's worded this...
	Okay, now call him anyway and then we'll save him.
	Okay.
	You've been de-douched.
	What?
	That's...
	She said for a douchebag.
	Well, she says neither is donated douchebag, so I'm including a donation at 333 to be split three ways.
	All right, now I'm going to douche, douche, and I'm going to douche him again, and I'm going to douche me.
	Douchebag.
	And now a big D douchey.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay, we're good.
	Too complicated.
	It's too much douche.
	We send our way up to the round table bringing with us a Viking feast.
	Nice.
	I constantly smile and laugh on my daily walks listening to you guys.
	This causes strangers to smile back if they only knew what I was smiling about.
	Thank you for being the voices of sanity in this insane world of 2020.
	2020 in sanity.
	Everyone should listen to the No Agenda instead of the M5M and it would prevent their amygdalas from being hijacked.
	Keeping it simple with a karma jingle and a shut up, slaves, as we grow our way, grovel our way to knight and dame status.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	And I think we've taken care of all the douching for you.
	Yay!
	You've got karma.
	Shut up, slave!
	Nadia Borg comes in from Vista, California, and she becomes associate executive producer.
	250 bucks.
	Hello, I'm so happy you've been here for us during these stressful times.
	I've been doing COVID research, which I can say now because I have been publicly approved to treat COVID patients in critical condition with our medical device.
	It removes the virus out of the blood through the extracorporeal filter.
	Jeez, that's got to be expensive.
	I don't even know what it is.
	Well, apparently the blood goes through this machine and then the extracorporeal filter grabs the virus by filtering it out of the bloodstream.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Can you imagine?
	Work has gotten busy, as you can imagine.
	Yes.
	But enough about me.
	This donation is dedicated to my husband, Brandon.
	His birthday is on the 19th.
	We got him listed this month.
	He's the one who introduced me to this show.
	Brandon is a brilliant engineer, an amazing husband, and a great friend to everyone.
	He fanned the brand.
	Oh, and I'm sorry.
	He fanned the flames for my curiosity of the esoteric, so much so that members of his lodge, he's a Freemason, deemed me as an Illuminati.
	And it became my brand.
	He encourages my madness and occasionally sneakily slips me some literature about history and philosophy that puts me into an existential crisis for a couple of days.
	My goodness, that sounds horrible.
	He is deeply knowledgeable and the most humble person I've ever known.
	I know you hate the attention, Brandon, so I made sure you got a lot.
	And then she writes with lots of O's, Love you!
	Thank you, John and Adam, for everything you do.
	Expect more silly shit from me in the near future.
	Love and light, Illuminati.
	Oh, so good to hear from Illuminati.
	So good.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I never heard that backstory from her.
	No.
	She's got nothing to do, okay?
	Sir Asset of the Scandinavian Woods, Cortese, Ontario, Canada, 24321, which is $333.34 in Canadian or whatever we call him.
	So he gets bumped up to executive producer.
	Gotcha.
	He wants to get it, got it hard.
	No, he got it aroused.
	There's no got it hard.
	You see the juice?
	That's true from Sir Acid of the Scandinavian Woods Greetings.
	Please accept this donation with an extra penny to go into the tray to help bump up the next person a penny short in the way to the knighthood.
	I've recently begun a new podcast with fellow reconteur Abel Kirby where we talk about our nerdy pastimes of anime and Number one on the list.
	Video games and whatever catches our attention.
	It's called Rare Encounter.
	Not so rare.
	And I'd be happy if we could have plugged it on the show.
	Okay.
	We've got six episodes so far with new episodes every Wednesday evening.
	Besides my jingle requests, I would like to hear some house karma with a squeeze of goat.
	I prepare to replace my hot water tank, get the driveway repaved, and set up for some...
	Set up for some renos that might help improve the quality of my basement workplace.
	I don't know what that means.
	Thank you for all you...
	Maybe I do.
	Thank you for all you do, gents, and keep up the great work, Sir Asset of the Scandinavian Woods.
	Cortese.
	Cortese.
	Cortese or Cortis.
	It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	You've got karma.
	Woo!
	Squeeze of goat.
	Why don't you read Trent's...
	And I'll look and see if Maggie Hopkins has an email.
	Sure.
	I know, Trent.
	Trent sends in 213.33.
	Adam and John, thanks for keeping us laughing as the world goes wild.
	And thanks to Colonel Steve Battle, or Battelle?
	I think it's Battle.
	Battelle.
	Battle.
	For sending job karma away a few months ago.
	It worked!
	Good.
	I've had lunch with Trent.
	He's here in Austin.
	Throw him some karma for me.
	I also want to share my new video podcast, Through the Terminus.
	Search for it on YouTube or BitChute.
	We are four episodes in and have covered topics such as China influence, Epstein funding prominent scientists, and a deep dive into transhumanism.
	Sounds like fun.
	Come check it out.
	Yes!
	Thank you very much, Trent.
	Thank you for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	He doesn't ask for any karma.
	It seems like he's doing well.
	He's got his jobs karma, so we're happy.
	Happy it worked.
	Maggie Hopkins, I can't...
	Nothing from her?
	No, go ahead.
	Nothing from Maggie?
	I can't find a note from Maggie Hopkins at $220.49.
	I will take one more look under the word donations and subject line, which is common.
	But meanwhile, we continue with Peter Johnson at $200.
	In the morning was hit in the mouth a couple of months ago by my brother.
	At the time, I was a broke college student, but since I've ascended to the ranks to slightly less broke millennial and request a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	I appreciate everything you guys, as well as the producers, do to make NA happen.
	Go Gators!
	Request jobs and health karma.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	And health!
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, Sir Tim of the Tunnels is here from Waipahu.
	Hawaii.
	Waipahu.
	Nice.
	With this donation, he joined the ranks of no agenda barons.
	I actually crossed the threshold back in April.
	See accounting below.
	My former...
	Accountant now hangs from a gibbet facing the turbulent waters of the mighty Pacific.
	Let's hope the new guy is more on the ball.
	While transitioning took place several months ago, nothing is official without recognition from the peerage committee.
	Therefore, I humbly request a barony.
	I've selected an island off the north shore of Oahu known to the natives as Oahu.
	Moku-a-u-i-a.
	But for our purposes, we shall refer to it by its colloquial name, Goat Island.
	I also asked for some healthy karma, shatakarma, from our favorite ungulate.
	Uh...
	So he's going to be...
	By the way, I should mention Goat Island is also the name of Yerba Buena Island and San Francisco Bay, which the San Francisco Bridge runs through.
	So he's going to be upgraded to Baron of Goat Island.
	And then he needs the karma.
	Yes.
	Just a regular karma?
	He might as well give him a goat karma.
	I mean, crap.
	Goat Island's got to be goat.
	Goat Island, yeah.
	There you go.
	I want to add a $200 donation from Oliver Reich, W6BAR, out of Redwood City.
	Okay.
	Because he sent me a...
	I don't...
	I'm going to sound like a loser because he did this.
	Okay.
	But he sent me a pre-programmed po-fung...
	Short wave handheld radio.
	Wait, short wave?
	No.
	You mean...
	Yeah, it's short wave.
	Two meter.
	It's two meter.
	It's not short wave.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's two meters.
	Okay.
	It's not short wave, technically.
	But on it, he's got probably 50 different repeater lash-ups.
	Yeah, sure.
	That's what you do.
	That many of them I've never heard of.
	That's what you do.
	That's what you do when you're a ham and you first get your rig.
	You set it all up.
	You, just turn it on to hear it go bloop, bloop, bloop, and turn it back off.
	I wait for Oliver to come.
	You wait for Oliver to come.
	You're such an Elmer.
	Now, the thing is, I want to mention that this is a different rig, slightly, than the Bao Feng.
	Yeah, it's not a Bao Feng.
	This is a Po Feng.
	It costs $4 less.
	It's $21, I'm sure.
	I don't know what the difference in price is, but the Pofung is slightly bigger.
	It looks a little more cop-like.
	And it's got some rugged aspects to it.
	It's got a more rugged belt clip.
	It's about an inch bigger.
	Can't say it.
	It's got bigger keys, which is probably better, you know.
	And it's got a nicer flashlight built in.
	So I'll be playing with this.
	I'll be giving Oliver a call so I can...
	Well, hop on the repeater out there that's hooked up to the No Agenda Hams Network, and you can join in the fun.
	You can do it with that, Rick.
	Oh, yeah.
	In fact, I'm looking forward to joining in the fun.
	Okay.
	We look forward to it, because as we all know...
	You'll hear me.
	I'll be on.
	Yeah, I know.
	I know.
	When the apocalypse comes, we're the guys who are going to save the world, right?
	That's why you need it, John.
	You need to get on the repeater.
	Because Mimi was driving up to Washington just yesterday.
	And she...
	Went right through the fire up in Fairfield.
	Oh my.
	And as she's in the middle of it, she's up, I should have some kind of backup communication.
	So she goes through the, apparently the fire, when it was jumping Highway 80 in Fairfield, she was, you know, you've seen these movies of people driving through the fire.
	That was Mimi?
	She was in it.
	She was freaked out.
	No shit.
	Did she call you?
	Well, she called Jay first, then she called me after she got out.
	Oh my gosh.
	And then they cut the road.
	They stopped the road to travel.
	She was like one of the last cars through.
	Oh my God.
	She's badass, man.
	She took a few photos I'll put in the newsletter.
	Wow.
	Anyway, so she got through the whole thing, and everyone's really relieved because they had the...
	It was just...
	It was at the point where it was jumping the freeway.
	The fire jumped the freeway, and she went through that area.
	And, yeah.
	So where does the walking...
	She's back, and she...
	So I say to her, you know, she said, what happens?
	You know, I'm going to...
	These phones aren't going to work.
	She's got freaky about the whole thing, you know, the...
	Cell towers burning down.
	I said, get your ham license.
	It's not that hard.
	Get your ham license.
	We'll get you some of these little handheld devices.
	If you can't get a hold of me, you can go on a repeater and here I am.
	And she said, yeah, I'll do it.
	And she says, it can't be that hard.
	This is Kilo Mike 1, Mike 1.
	I'm looking for the Jones...
	So I'm going to get her, she's going to get a license, and I'm going to make Jay get one, too.
	Yes!
	Finally!
	Because I know that they'll actually set you up on the repeater.
	I know they'll get it done now.
	That'll be fun!
	All right.
	Well, there goes the neighborhood.
	I want to thank Oliver, and he can credit himself 200 bucks for any future knighthoods or anything he wants to get.
	Very cool.
	We want to thank all of these producers who are executive and associate executive producers of episode 1270.
	Thank you, because you are putting the show together.
	We have lots of people who can't support us with money.
	And they do many other things.
	It is the true value for value network.
	You get out of it what you put into it, and we certainly appreciate what you've done.
	So please consider us for the Sunday show if you'd like to help out.
	Dvorak.org slash NA You're all up to speed on the Twindemic.
	Be on the lookout for and support the show!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	All righty then.
	I'm sorry, before we continue, just let me do quickly two things.
	We have two special karma requests.
	Sorry, I forgot with everything going on.
	The first one is Producer Thorin.
	Now, we know Producer Thorne.
	He's been around the show for a long time.
	He's been out of commission for nearly two weeks after suffering a bowel blockage.
	Apparently this is really bad.
	He's in desperate need of some health karma from the No Agenda Faithful.
	I'll put these links in the show notes.
	He's got an update and a GoFundMe.
	I have no idea what that is about, but it doesn't sound good if you hear the description, if you read it.
	So, could everybody please focus for a moment on our producer, Thorne, because he needs it.
	So, here's his karma.
	You've got karma.
	You've got karma.
	In addition, a note from Darren O, who we, of course, had the awarded artwork.
	Adam, I need some emergency health calmer from my mom.
	The last few days she'd been complaining of symptoms of acid reflux.
	I thought it was nothing.
	My dad took her to the hospital overnight.
	As the symptoms had gotten worse, all I know is she had a blood transfusion, so it could be an ulcer.
	We don't know, but we do need some karma.
	So, yes, of course, we'll...
	I don't know why it works, but that karma stuff just doesn't.
	I have also a note.
	I'm not sure if he's on the list or if I followed up on this during my moment where I lost clips.
	Bashir Osman.
	Sir Bashir.
	He's going to be Sir Bashir.
	I don't know if he's on the list, but check.
	I was looking at my PayPal so that I'd reached knighthood from an $11.11 donation that began in April 2012.
	Wow.
	I reached a palindrome, a total of $1,122.11.
	I thought that was pretty good.
	I want to thank you guys for all the work you've done over the years.
	So he wanted to be knighted today under Sir Bashir.
	Okay, yes, he's on the list, so I'm glad you picked up that note.
	Oh, okay, so I did send Eric the note.
	Yeah, you did.
	Good, good.
	But I just thought it was cute that you could do that.
	You sent Eric the note.
	He didn't put it in.
	I also had it in my notes, but you got to it.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I probably didn't send him the note.
	No, I send it to him.
	It's a break in the system, which I've been trying to catch, and I'm glad you caught it.
	The break in the system is, if you're an 11-11 and you show up in your night, or you reach the level, and then you send the note, it doesn't get read because you're $11.11.
	So those have to be fished out and put in.
	I always send it to Eric.
	He never does it.
	It's okay.
	We saved the day.
	Well, the problem is he gets too much redundant.
	He gets from you, he gets from me.
	We've had to figure out some process.
	Yes, he's working on a system.
	I know it's coming soon.
	He's got something in the works.
	Something's going on over there.
	All right.
	We're all good.
	Yes, so that will be...
	We have a nice nighting ceremony for later.
	Now, I want to hear some crazy stuff from what's been going on in American politics because it's just been hilarious.
	Well, for one thing, we got this weird guy, Miles Taylor, who's made a big stink about going to Biden.
	He made a big speech at the convention.
	We have a bunch of these speeches at the Democrat convention of people, old Republican hacks that have just decided they can't take it anymore.
	Oh, and they're all not with the Democrats?
	So they decide to go to shaky Joe Biden.
	It doesn't make any sense to me.
	But it's definitely what's going on.
	I have a speech if you want to hear it.
	Sure.
	I mean, how long?
	Is it any good?
	It's probably...
	Why don't you play as much as you can stand?
	What's his name here?
	Miles Taylor?
	Miles Taylor.
	He's a very strange character when you look into him.
	He worked for Kristen Nelson when she was head of DHS. Oh, when she got kicked out, though.
	Or she resigned, didn't she?
	Kristen Nelson?
	Yeah, she left.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, she left.
	All right, let's have a listen.
	I'm Miles Taylor.
	I served as...
	No, no, stop, actually.
	Let's just talk about this for a second.
	We can't just take this for granted.
	Typically, these conventions are big affairs.
	It's exciting.
	There's lots of the noise and people going on.
	They've got silly hats and confetti, and we're all cheering.
	And it's really about the crowd and the people.
	Yeah.
	It's entertaining.
	It's a huge entertainment event, which you really only...
	You know, you'll check in a little bit, and of course, some speeches you want to see.
	And not only...
	I was following everything on CNN... Screw those guys.
	And I don't understand if you're doing a television production, because that's what they're doing, and they get an Eva Longoria to host, and then Kerry Washington to host, and you've got Billy Porter doing a little music video with some dance with his...
	Whatever that was.
	John Legend.
	Everybody, you know, it's the entertainment is coming together, and they produce something that is complete.
	Every speech is...
	And there's no crowd.
	There's nothing like getting everybody going.
	So...
	Really, it's hard to watch.
	And I'm sure if the Republicans do the same thing, it's hard to watch.
	This is not interesting.
	You know, you want to hear some interesting stat?
	Okay.
	So the political correspondent for Axios has been following this for PBS. And he said the following.
	He said the problem they have is that nobody's watching it.
	So let's start there.
	He said that MSNBC... When they did the convention coverage, their numbers were 5 million viewers, which is a lot for MSNBC. Yeah.
	NBC, the network itself, 2 million.
	2.1.
	Yeah, 2.1.
	And ABC had 1.9, and after that it was...
	But, again, it's like, first of all, rating...
	Well, let's finish the thought here.
	Five million on MSNBC, those are people that are voting for Biden.
	Yeah, that's about it.
	So it doesn't do any good to the party.
	They're losing people.
	Yeah.
	Well, they're losing people from the TV show.
	Look, all we wanted to see...
	And this was my point.
	So CNN keeps teasing, ahead, Barack Obama, coming up soon!
	And then you wait, and you wait...
	And it's 11 o'clock before someone comes on.
	Are they idiots?
	And it's right when primetime news, local news starts, so no one's going to take the live feed.
	I don't understand what the strategy is.
	Just from a pure...
	I mean, you might as well just stream it on the web.
	Who cares?
	It's boring.
	It's bad television.
	Bad television.
	Anyway, Michael Taylor.
	I'm Miles Taylor.
	Sorry?
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't hear your cue.
	What are you going to play?
	I was going to play Miles Taylor in one of these boring speeches.
	Yeah, let's listen to some boring speeches.
	Cut it off as soon as you're bored.
	Okay.
	I'm Miles Taylor.
	All right, done.
	I'm just kidding.
	I served as the chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security under the Donald Trump administration.
	I would go into the office, I would read my intelligence...
	Listen to the piano music!
	Ha ha!
	Wow.
	And then it was my job to help the Department of Homeland Security to keep our country safe.
	What we saw week in and week out, and for me, after two and a half years in that administration, was terrifying.
	Okay.
	So that was pretty much the message all night long.
	Orange man bad.
	We'll do better.
	Joe's got a team.
	Did you hear anything differ from that?
	No.
	Of course not.
	But I did hear something the day before that was different.
	Okay.
	And I think that this clip is probably more to the point of what we're dealing with here, that people better realize that this is what's going on.
	This was the youth caucus that did a Zoom conference the day before, actually on the Monday of the convention, I believe that's when it was.
	It was either pre-convention or after that, the Monday fiasco.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I want you to listen carefully.
	I don't have this woman's name, but she's talking and nobody is interrupting her.
	Nobody's saying, because I guess it's rude, but nobody's saying, this is not good what you're saying.
	This is actually dangerous.
	But when you hear it, you go, what are we dealing with here?
	This is the Democrat Youth Caucus woman talking about socialism.
	Because we understand that this future that we all want, that we're all trying to build, really is about the destruction of colonization, white supremacy, and capitalism.
	We must really move away from these systems and these frameworks if we really want to live in a future that does have a regenerative economy and does enable liberation and equity for our communities.
	This is definitely something that we all want to push forward.
	And so our hope and our dream is that we do push forward Green New Deal.
	We do understand that, you know, there is the Green New Deal, the AOC marquee policy that many of us have become accustomed to, but also realizing that on the state level, many different policies are being pushed forward that do relate to the Green New Deal that are collectively moving forward into this regenerative economy and this regenerative And really our position is that the Green New Deal and its policies,
	we're moving toward this way anyway.
	Seems to be a new pickle available at Whole Foods, the Green New Deal.
	It would be a great brand name, Green New Deal.
	We should get it going right away.
	It's fantastic.
	Now, this is a callback to your earlier commentary at the very beginning of the show.
	Which is these kids come out of school, they even come out of college, they're not taught anything, they don't know anything, and they get a $35,000 a year job after having a master's degree in something.
	Whatever, yeah.
	And you end up with this kind of thinking.
	It's...
	It's simple.
	Get rid of white supremacy, get rid of capitalism, just ditch the whole American system.
	And this also is a callback with the Green New Deal of the letter that you read from the PG&E guy talking about how they're not allowed to actually give us power.
	It has to be Green New Deal.
	Yes, and this will be a little bit out of order, but This policy falls under the heading Build Back Better.
	And the reason I'm bringing it up now is because Joe Biden's campaign is Build Back Better.
	I just want to...
	Well, here is...
	What's her name?
	She is Canadian Member of Parliament Freeland on their plans for Scandinavia.
	Talina's question about decarbonisation as part of our economic plan going forward, of course, it has to be part of it.
	I think all Canadians understand that the restart of our economy needs to be green.
	It also needs to be equitable.
	It needs to be inclusive.
	And we need to focus very much on jobs and growth.
	This is a once-in-a-lifetime challenge for our whole country.
	And our commitment as a government is to do whatever it takes to support Canadians as we get through that challenge and as we get through it to really build back better.
	So this is not a coincidence anymore.
	It's all Green New Deal.
	It's all equity.
	It's Build Back Better, and just a reminder, that is a United Nations globalist term and policy.
	You have the clip.
	Antonio Guerra, Secretary General of the United Nations.
	The COVID-19 pandemic can also be a moment for resolving long-standing conflicts and addressing structural weaknesses.
	Four sets of priorities can guide the response to Build Back Better and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
	First, immediate measures to slow the spread of disease and conflict and meet the urgent needs of the most vulnerable.
	Second, we must deepen efforts to address inequalities by investing in universal health and education, social protection floors and technology.
	The region is home to the world's largest gender gap in human development.
	COVID-19 recovery is an opportunity to invest in women and girls, ensure equal rights and participation, which will have lasting benefits for all.
	Third, boosting the economic recovery through reimagining the region's economic model in favor of more diversified green economies.
	Green.
	And that means creating decent, sustainable jobs, introducing progressive taxation measures, ending fossil fuel subsidies and taking greater account of climate risks.
	Now is the moment to prioritize human rights, ensure a vibrant societal society and free media, and create more accountable institutions that will increase citizens' trust and strengthen the social contract.
	All of these steps are pivotal to helping the Arab region build back better.
	So to combine the two things we're talking about, kids are disillusioned, got debt, here's your college-level job, seriously, in Austin, $30,000 to $35,000 a year.
	And then here's some people saying, hey, we're going to give you good jobs, decent jobs, minimum wage.
	Get the phrase right, good, well-paying jobs.
	Well-paying jobs, yes.
	No, decent, well-paying jobs.
	Green New Deal.
	We're going to change the economy.
	So this is the changing the system.
	No wonder they love it.
	And we get to break shit while we're telling people we want it.
	I mean, peaceful protest.
	Yeah.
	And this, no one except this show, as far as I know, is picking up.
	Why is not a single journalist saying, Build Back Better?
	It's in Canada, it's in the United Nations, and I would like our producers of Gitmo Nation to go find where else this is taking place.
	Build Back Better is a globalist term.
	Something's going on.
	You'll find it here and there if you start looking.
	Yeah.
	Might want to know what other countries are doing this.
	Build back better.
	And that to me, this socialist, is just unbelievable.
	I do have a call-in, which is kind of funny.
	Yeah.
	During the convention, this is on the Republican line.
	Oh, this is a C-SPAN. I was like, they didn't take calls on the convention, did they?
	This is just the...
	C-SPAN. Oh, okay.
	All right.
	Republican line?
	Republican line.
	All right.
	I tried to listen to some of the convention lines, and it just got a little old, because they kept trying to say what a great guy Joe Biden was, and quite frankly, I understand people like him, but he's not exactly honest.
	Things he said he's done, he hasn't exactly done.
	Honors he said he had, he didn't exactly get.
	It's just very, very hard to listen to the politics of it all, and we're supposed to just believe what they say.
	If he didn't make so many claims that were proven to be untrue, it would just be better.
	And it was hard to watch.
	And then all this stuff about Dr.
	Jill.
	Look, nobody in America who's got a doctorate in education is called doctor.
	It's not done.
	For her to keep calling herself doctor, just point out, she's not a real doctor.
	There are certain professions that, yes, if you have a doctorate, you're called doctor.
	For the rest of them, you're not.
	Okay.
	Well, we've discussed this before.
	She's not a...
	Now, she's a PhD, is that it?
	Yeah, a PhD in education.
	Yeah.
	She's a high-end teacher.
	Right.
	High-end teacher.
	That's a funny way of putting it.
	High-end teacher.
	She is.
	It's a girlfriend experience.
	She's a teacher.
	She wants to still be a teacher when she gets into...
	Like if Biden wins, she already said she wants to go stay in school teaching in junior college, which is stupid.
	But okay, if you can do what you want, you can do what you want.
	But the thing is, it is what this guy says is right, because this is where Whoopi Goldberg got into trouble.
	On The View, Whoopi, I don't have the clip, Whoopi said, I can get it, she said, well, you know, Dr.
	Jill Biden is a great doctor.
	She should become the Surgeon General of the United States.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Remember this?
	I have the clip.
	Let me play it for you.
	Dr.
	Jill becomes the Surgeon General.
	His wife.
	Jill Biden's wife.
	He would never do it, but she's a hell of a doctor.
	She's an amazing doctor.
	I could be wrong.
	She's a teacher, but...
	You know.
	That's so good.
	This is the reason you don't call yourself doctor when you're a PhD in education.
	Right.
	I could be wrong.
	Sorry, I just could be wrong.
	I just realized Bill Clinton is a smart man.
	And I only clipped a few things.
	I knew you'd have some.
	Build back better.
	You know what Donald Trump will do with four more years?
	Blame, bully, and belittle.
	And you know what Joe Biden will do?
	Build back better.
	Oh, yeah, baby.
	Blame, bully, blame, bully?
	What was it?
	That's good.
	Blame, bully, belittle.
	Yeah.
	Well, Clinton, of course, got caught with the pictures of one of the Island girls from Epstein.
	I'm sure I've seen these photos.
	This is not...
	I've never seen them.
	It's just a 22-year-old apparent masseuse massaging him in the waiting room of the airport.
	Okay, it's horrible.
	To me, it was like, there's no proof.
	I liked it.
	Well, of course, you would.
	Alright, what else did we have?
	No, I got the other one.
	This is...
	And Democracy Now!, which I lost these clips, unfortunately, where Amy goes on and on about AOC, or she puts Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
	She likes to say the whole name, and she says that...
	Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
	Yeah.
	She's nominating...
	She got a minute to nominate.
	Yeah, seconded.
	No, I'm telling you.
	I'll get the clip.
	She said nominated.
	I said I second the nomination.
	And she said nominated over and over.
	She said they gave her one minute to nominate Bernie Sanders and then she ran over and she did.
	She ran over to 133, which I have the clip of her doing it.
	And she never nominated him.
	She seconded the nomination.
	That's what I just said.
	She seconded him.
	No, that's what I'm saying.
	I'm telling you that Amy is the one who kept saying nominated.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, Amy's full of crap.
	Good evening, bienvenidos, and thank you to everyone here today endeavoring towards a better, more just future for our country and our world.
	In fidelity and gratitude to a mass people's movement working to establish...
	Oh, this is what...
	I'm sorry.
	That's not what you wanted.
	That's the wrong clip.
	Is it?
	Well, is that Democracy Now?
	No, Democracy Now played this clip, but I took the clip straight from the C-SPAN feed.
	...establish 21st century social, economic, and human rights, including guaranteed health care, higher education, living wages, and labor rights for all people in the United States.
	A movement striving to recognize and repair the wounds of racial injustice, colonization, misogyny, and homophobia.
	And to propose and build reimagined systems of immigration and foreign policy that turn away from the violence and xenophobia of our past.
	A movement that realizes the unsustainable brutality of an economy that rewards explosive inequalities of wealth for the few.
	At the expense of long-term stability for the many.
	And who organized a historic grassroots campaign to reclaim our democracy.
	In a time when millions of people in the United States are looking for deep, systemic solutions to our crises of mass evictions, unemployment, and lack of health care.
	En el espíritu del pueblo, and out of a love for all people.
	I hereby second the nomination of Senator Bernard Sanders of Vermont for President of the United States of America.
	Oh, Sandy!
	So, yeah, everyone was all bent out of shape about not endorsing Joe Biden.
	But these are low-information news people.
	That's not how it works.
	The commission is all about this.
	She's seconding the nomination.
	How is she supposed to throw Joe Biden in there?
	Yeah, it's ridiculous.
	It's just ridiculous.
	It's totally ridiculous.
	Now, I will say this.
	The clip that I lost, which really irks me, you might have it.
	It's the security guard at one of the buildings, I guess it was at the New York Times building, the New York Times security guard woman who nominated Joe Biden.
	No, I don't have this.
	I'll get it for Sunday, because it's really interesting to listen to the security guard First of all, why did they let the security guard nominate Joe Biden?
	Is she a delegate?
	Is she a delegate from the state of New York?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I don't know how it works.
	Or just some rando that they picked?
	I mean, there must be a lot of people around the world that ran into Joe that could have nominated him.
	It made no sense to me.
	A rando?
	Yes.
	A rando.
	Rando.
	I don't know.
	We'll have more on this Sunday.
	I have some clips.
	That's it?
	I have some clips?
	I got a couple of clips.
	Yeah, I got nothing.
	Oh, okay.
	I got some clips.
	I have President Obama with one, in my mind, mistake and the other a nice virtue signal.
	I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president.
	By the way, did you notice that his eye tick is back?
	Obama's eye tick?
	His right eye?
	I think it has a lot to do with Trump berating him constantly.
	Yeah, I mean, look, I'm a Tourette sufferer.
	Look!
	I'm a Tourette sufferer, so I can say he's trying his best, but it's a tick, and he can't get rid of it.
	And I've seen this thing show up.
	It's kind of like he pretends to wink, but I'm sharp.
	You can't get one past me, Barry.
	I have sat in the Oval Office with both of the men who are running for president.
	I never expected that my successor would embrace my vision or continue my policies.
	I did hope, for the sake of our country, that Donald Trump might show some interest in taking the job seriously.
	That he might come to feel the weight of the office and discover some reverence for the democracy that had been placed in his care.
	Okay, he did this three times.
	It's a republic.
	It's a republic, President Obama.
	It's a republic, not a democracy.
	It's a republic that was placed in his care.
	A republic.
	Got it?
	But he never did.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Oh!
	Now, I give him a pass because he said putting in not doing the work, but still, still pretty good.
	It's a variation of the same thing.
	It is a variation.
	We have...
	But it's not code.
	It's not code.
	No.
	We have...
	Let's see.
	I have one response...
	From Fox News, Chris Wallace, to Michelle Obama's speech, which I didn't clip anything from.
	She did say, kids, or it sounded like she was saying kids, you know how much I hate politics.
	And I thought, what an odd thing to say.
	And what an odd thing to project towards young people.
	I hate, first of all, hate.
	Hate is a strong word.
	I hate politics.
	I hate politics.
	Is that a good message?
	Politics should be something everyone's involved in has become this nasty...
	Especially when they're trying to get more kids out of school involved in politics.
	That's very poor.
	I didn't notice that, but that's bad form.
	Yeah, you're right.
	Yeah, that kind of irked me that she did that.
	And then she just had this...
	This long string of things, you know, blaming Trump for the kids in cages, which AP actually fact-checked her on it.
	I didn't see Jim Acosta rushing over to the camera to say anything about it.
	Of course, it's obvious.
	We know how this works.
	But after that speech, Chris Wallace, oh, it was all jitty.
	You know, it's interesting.
	Michelle Obama, as she said, doesn't like politics.
	And she said that this speech was her main contribution to the Biden campaign.
	It was a heck of a contribution.
	She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump, talking about the chaos and confusion and lack of empathy, especially coming from this president and from this White House.
	Spoke more about the deficits of Donald Trump than the pluses of Joe Biden, but did talk about, especially, not so much policies, but especially his empathy.
	It was interesting.
	When I first heard him say that, I thought he mispronounced filleted, but flayed is actually a word.
	I didn't realize that.
	I've never heard that.
	Flayed, yeah.
	Flayed.
	I said filleted.
	They filleted him, but flayed, which is the same thing, kind of.
	It isn't just cutting it up, slicing it up.
	He rips up open you.
	Yeah, okay.
	So he liked it a lot.
	There were a couple of Joe-isms that I think are worth looking at.
	This is...
	Yeah, this was a pretty good one.
	See if you can catch the flaw here.
	Latinos are among the fastest growing population in the United States.
	Already, one quarter...
	Of our school children.
	One quarter.
	Our Latinos speak Spanish.
	One quarter.
	How in God's name can we have a strong, thriving republic if we don't fully deal in Latinos in every aspect of America?
	One quarter.
	To which the Latino kids across America went, I don't speak Spanish.
	And Joe's like, they all speak Spanish.
	This guy is such...
	He is...
	If you're looking for systemic racism, that's it.
	If we remove him, everything's going to be okay.
	I mean, he doesn't...
	That's like...
	That's almost as bad as, you know, white kids can do...
	You know, poor kids do just as well as white kids, or whatever the hell he was saying.
	It's so bigoted of him to say that.
	But again, I give him some credit for saying Republic.
	I liked it.
	So Joe was saying Republic and not democracy.
	And then there was this, I'm not even going to play it because it's like silver dress, blue dress.
	Did Joe say, hi, I'm Jill Biden's husband, or did he say, hi, I'm Joe Biden's husband?
	Well, take it from me, he said Jill.
	It's just however you want to hear it.
	But this was kind of funny.
	That's the kind of first lady, lady, lady, lady this Jill Biden will be.
	What was that all about?
	Yeah, I heard that too.
	I actually, I don't know where that clip went, but I had that clip.
	It was just where he goes, lady, lady, lady.
	Like, he sounds like Jerry Lewis.
	Lady, lady, lady!
	Yeah, exactly.
	So, he's like he said, lady, and then he lost his train of thought, and to pick it up, he said lady again, thinking it would happen, and then he couldn't, and he said it again and again.
	I think he said it either three times or four times.
	Mm-hmm.
	Anyways...
	It was very strange.
	So, are we basically saying we got nothing?
	There's nothing happening?
	Because it really wasn't in my book.
	Well, tonight it'll be Joe.
	I did get a...
	I got the Matt Taibbi list of drinking game updates.
	I only have a few things to read on it.
	It's a list of about 20 items that he expects Joe to be saying.
	I'll read a couple.
	And you're supposed to drink every time you hear Joe Biden saying, folks...
	Or Biden says, United States of America double shots for any multiple America construction.
	Example, the best America is an America where Americans believe in the American dream.
	And then he says you have to use guys when he refers to the Barack Obama soul of America's one.
	Then he's got this one, number eight.
	Biden points out a surprising, and you pointed this out earlier, Biden points out a surprising percentage of something like this example.
	Look, folks, 74% of venture capital goes to four cities.
	Uh...
	It's just some screwball thing.
	He does this.
	He also says, my mom used to say or mention one of my father's relatable jobs, like, example, he sold a hell of a lot of cars.
	And then he's got one here.
	Biden references a job you've never heard of, as in, quote, why is a sandwich maker being forced to sign a non-compete clause?
	Sandwich maker.
	That may be a subway job, actually, now that I think about it.
	Yeah, I'm sure.
	No, no, no, no.
	No, they're called sandwich artists.
	Sorry.
	Sandwich artists.
	Here's one, number 12.
	Biden tells a story.
	You have to take a drink.
	Biden tells a story about a rewarding interaction with an ordinary person, as in, quote, I walk over to the guy in the bucket, and there are seven guys around him, all with hard hats on.
	I yelled up and said, hey, man, thanks.
	Yeah, he's the best.
	So he's got a big list.
	Oh, my goodness.
	There was something I wanted to mention.
	At the end, which was Kamala Harris accepting her nomination, they had a little stage, and they had the typical dual teleprompters.
	It was mouse quiet, and there were maybe, I don't know, 20 people socially distanced.
	Like, really socially distanced, kind of strategically placed next to their...
	I mean, it was a sad kind of thing to look at.
	I think she did actually quite well for what she was there to do, but at the end, and this is This may not make it on the news, but it's fun for us.
	All of a sudden they have the screen and there's like a massive Zoom call.
	You saw it.
	She's waving to everybody and everybody's waving back.
	So it's 30 boxes.
	Too many boxes.
	Yeah, because if you freeze frame and zoom in, three of the people appear in two boxes.
	They couldn't even find 30 people to fill up the boxes with.
	It was so bad.
	Oh, no.
	They used three duplicates in the boxes.
	Oh, brother.
	I mean, that is, to me, that really sums it all up.
	A bunch of phonies with fakery, and they can't even do that right.
	No, in fact, you know, I guarantee that the Biden speech tonight has already been recorded.
	And recorded and recorded and recorded until he got it close to right.
	Because he never gets...
	There's no way he's going to go and do this live.
	No way.
	No, I don't think he's capable.
	If he does...
	He's not capable of doing it live.
	He's not going to be able to debate either.
	That's why they want you to get your ballot and vote now before you realize that Biden is really in the bag.
	He's done.
	Yeah.
	So, the problem, I think, is my interpretation of the problem with Joe, is he gets tired.
	And if they're going to make him do something, okay, let's do it again, let's do it again, let's do safety, let's do it again, where you do it over and over again, by the time they get the final take...
	It's dead.
	It's just flat and dead.
	There's no...
	He's going to be out of it.
	Yeah.
	But I mean, I'm sure the words will be what he's reading off the prompter will be to the money and he won't go off script.
	That's for sure.
	I was reading all the broadcast and advertising magazines.
	Everyone's very delighted with the sudden jump that Trump made.
	So now it's a real horse race.
	It's neck on neck.
	It's like right in the final stretch.
	It's crazy.
	How could we ever expect that to happen?
	Now, the ratings...
	Are not working very well for the networks.
	Where did this come from?
	This was a very interesting article.
	So the networks, the big networks, but I've got to guess maybe in a way the...
	No, I think it's just the broadcast networks.
	They're the ones.
	They do have an equal time rule that they still have to adhere to.
	And so they want to put as little...
	Not that I know of.
	Well, that's what they claim in this article that I'm reading.
	Or let's put it this way.
	They only want to put two hours per night on network television because they know they will have to give the Republicans the same two hours.
	They don't want to put more on television because they're afraid of what it will be like if Trump is on TV for three hours or whatever it is.
	They just don't want him anywhere on their airwaves.
	They know they have to do it, so they're limiting the Democrats.
	They dreamed up a fake excuse.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, a fake excuse for the fact that it has, what is it, American Idol?
	Even though American Idol is only 3.5 million, that was the number one rated show.
	So yeah, you're right, that's their excuse.
	Less of it on TV because we don't want Trump to ruin everything.
	But I think you're right, it's just shitty ratings.
	It's not interesting.
	It's not.
	It's also, it's not a TV show.
	It's not a convention.
	What is it?
	You know, the transitions are very slow, takes a while for someone to say, okay, we're back.
	Can I ask a simple question?
	It's a rhetorical one for everybody out there, you especially.
	Mm-hmm.
	This is the party of Hollywood.
	They're not doing any movies.
	There's nothing going on in Hollywood right now.
	The theaters are shuttered.
	There's talent everywhere.
	Tons of it.
	There's directors.
	There's producers.
	There's people that know how to do this sort of thing.
	Why haven't they tapped them and said, hey, come and put this show together for us?
	I honestly don't know who was in charge of the production, and I personally found it to be an incredible mistake to bring in actors.
	In this case, I saw two actresses, Kerry Washington and...
	Eva Longoria.
	Eva Longoria.
	They're not television presenters.
	They don't know how to talk stuff.
	You know, it's all scripted.
	Everyone's on a teleprompter.
	It has no life in it.
	It's completely boring.
	It's shit!
	And it's a waste of my time, and I'm a little bit angry about it.
	Because we have to sit through.
	I can't.
	I can't.
	Well, I'll ask the rhetorical question again.
	Why don't they bring up...
	There are people that could make this interesting.
	Mm-hmm.
	So your question is, why don't they do it?
	That is probably a very, not great, but it's a good question.
	I don't know.
	Somehow this is what they feel is going to work for them.
	I really don't know.
	It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.
	I wanted to do, and we'll be revisiting this, no doubt, on Sunday.
	I just wanted to give a little update on the Middle East peace deal, or I should say, what happened in Beirut.
	And I'm putting together an actual theory.
	Remember, I'm a conspiracy theorist.
	I just analyzed the situation.
	And something very telling came out of the news.
	Calculations were done on the blast in Beirut based upon ammonium nitrate and based upon how much ammonium nitrate was there.
	And...
	Based upon the explosion, they feel, the experts now say, that probably only 200 to 300 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded.
	What happened to the other 2,400 tons?
	So now, oh, it must have been stolen, it was rousted.
	It makes the whole ammonium nitrate story very, very fishy.
	And one of our producers is in some business, if you know what I mean.
	And when I mentioned some kind of new weapon, he immediately jumped on the stick and said, okay, I think I know what this might be.
	And he has some information to back up the theory that this may have been explosive, an ordinance deployed from an Israeli jet, which there were jets heard flying.
	There's plenty of eyewitnesses about that.
	This would be the W-76 Mod 2.
	And the W76 Mod 2, remember this explosion you saw?
	It was a very unique type of shockwave cloud that we saw.
	So he says this W-76 Mod-2 is not a nuclear warhead, but it's the primary fission of the 27-6 thermonuclear bomb.
	So its sole purpose is to set off the fusion secondary.
	Any unfissioned fuel or unnecessary types of radiation that you might notice from this are just inefficiencies in design, and they probably have all been eliminated.
	But he feels that since there were 50 of these mounted onto the Tennessee submarine who went out on a mission and came back almost immediately turned back around.
	They were supposed to be on a much longer mission.
	He feels that it's possible that one or more of these was transferred at sea and that this is what was used by Israel to get everybody's attention.
	And I can't get past the fact that a week later, all of a sudden we have a deal.
	Now Iran is ramping up and the president was talking some noise about them.
	That's not quite as important as this.
	The United States Special Envoy for Iran is stepping down.
	Brian Hook, who was appointed two years ago, has been a vocal advocate of the administration's maximum pressure campaign against Iran.
	And that strategy failed to get international support and did not force Iran back to the negotiating table, as President Donald Trump had hoped.
	Hook will be replaced by the controversial Elliott Abrams.
	You know if Elliott Abrams is on his way to your country, you're in trouble.
	So, something changed.
	You know, all of a sudden we got Jared.
	He's talking.
	He has a voice.
	He can talk.
	Jared's out everywhere.
	It seems to me that this was the tipping point, because we know Iran is financing Hezbollah.
	We know that Lebanon is one of the final American, you know, the West Clark Seven.
	This is not a coincidence.
	It's connected.
	We may never know.
	But to me, it seems like that was some straw that also to screw China if we get Iran, if we get a hold of Iran.
	I mean, it's like a multi-pronged strategy that I really can't put it all together, but these things are happening.
	It's not talked about because, you know, and we're just as guilty of it.
	You know, Joe Biden's an idiot.
	It's funny.
	It's funnier to listen to that than to think about what's going on.
	But I have a feeling, and also, again, the...
	The Rampage missile, that's the name of the missile that Israel, that is thought to be maybe Israel's new superweapon, the one that they tested, test-fired in Syria.
	This Mod 2, this W-76 Mod 2 would fit perfectly on one of those.
	And it was the exact, and the story's in the show notes so you can find it, and it's the exact same type of shockwave blast, relatively limited.
	And it causes a certain type of destruction, not like a bomb filled with shrapnel and nails and God knows what else.
	So I'm thinking it was some kind of message.
	And it worked because stuff happened.
	Well, something's going on.
	Yeah.
	And Joe Biden is an idiot, but he's fine.
	I like him.
	I'm going to show myself old by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	And we do have a few people to thank for show 1270.

	What are you doing?
	It sounds disgusting.

	What are you doing?
	Don't ask.

	Okay, I won't ask.
	Instead, we shall go to meetup reports, which we have.
	This is...
	I don't know what you're doing, man.
	We've got a real quickie here.
	This is from Chris and DC Girl, who I think had a...

	Hey there, this is Chris.
	And DC Girl.

	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Like a party.
	Exactly.
	Just like a party.
	All right.
	What else we have on the docket for today?
	I have a couple interesting...
	I got a little...
	I have a side bit here.
	All right.
	We had a guy who was a donor recently.
	He was actually anonymous, but his last name is spelled K-O-P-C-A-K. And I worked up a whole thing because I was saying, how do you pronounce this guy's name?
	And people don't realize this.
	A lot of names obviously I pronounce poorly, but when I have a real zinger, I always check it out on one of the pronunciation guides.
	And there's a bunch of them.
	So how would you pronounce K-O-P-C-A-K? See, Copac.
	It's not right, but that's...
	Yeah, it's not right, but I... You want to say Copcac.
	Well, I was pronouncing Copchac.
	That's probably Cocac.
	The P is probably silent.
	I have...
	Actually, I think in clip one, there's two different pronunciations, then I clipped two, there's another one, but I think they repeat.
	So these are the pronunciations that come off the guys, and they contradict.
	And now who is this person?
	One of our donors.
	One of our big donors, but he's anonymous.
	Okay, hold on.
	What program are you using for this?
	That was one of the...
	And we have a podcaster down.
	Podcaster down.
	I'm okay.
	Stay safe.
	Stay safe.
	Things happen.
	It's not been a good day.
	I could tell.
	So there's two different pronunciations.
	Please play those again.
	Okay.
	Copcake.
	Copcake.
	Coptac.
	Coptac.
	And then, which I believe is the proper pronunciation, is on clip two.
	Okay.
	Kupchak.
	Yeah, that makes more sense to me, Kupchak.
	Kupchak.
	Uh-huh.
	So now I just want to point this out as an excuse to my lousy pronunciation.
	Even the experts can't agree.
	God, this was all about you.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't realize what was going on.
	I'm like, where is this going?
	Oh, it's about you.
	Okay.
	Well, let's go to...
	And this is what I'll wrap with.
	Since this is kind of along those same lines in an odd sort of way, let's go to Obamagate.
	As we now have one FBI agent slash lawyer who was admitted to changing something.
	Oh, I didn't mean to do it!
	This is all about Carter Page.
	Carter Page...
	He's a weird dude.
	And he was on Hannity, and he has a book out.
	Hilarity ensued.
	What is the title of your book?
	Quick.
	Abuse and Power.
	No, tell the full title.
	what's the full title of the book don't tell me you forgot I'll put you on the spot how they did this to recoup alright, Ocasio-Cortez, I gotta go what is that?
	He doesn't know the title of his book?
	What do you think that means?
	Well, that some agency wrote it for him, as we've always suspected.
	Yeah, obviously.
	Jeez.
	You don't know the title of your own book that you didn't write?
	He could barely...
	He was happy he got the subtitle out.
	That's...
	I mean, the guy's a weird dude, but now he loses credibility in my book because of his book.
	In my book, I know the title of my book.
	It's Podfather.
	Done.
	Will I have one last educational clip we can play and we can wrap?
	No, I just want to do two more.
	One quickie, and then we can wrap with yours.
	Okay, well you can just do that.
	We'll do the educational clip on Sunday.
	I don't want to make the show longer than that needs to be.
	Let's not leave anyone with anything.
	Let's not make people smarter at the end of the show.
	No education for you.
	Senator Durbin, Dick Durbin, was talking about the...
	Emphasis on the word dick.
	Dick Durbin, talking about Flynn...
	And I'm not quite sure where his head was, but listen, so he's talking about the problem with Flynn being, as we know initially, he was talking to the Russian ambassador, Spying on the Trump campaign.
	Here's what it boiled down to.
	The intelligence agencies were, in fact, monitoring the conversations of the Russian ambassador to the United States.
	And when that ambassador engaged with General Kelly, they picked up on the conversation.
	There's the spying.
	It had nothing to do with focusing on Kelly.
	They were focusing on Kislyak, the ambassador.
	And when they went into conversations about lifting sanctions on Russia, that's when the intelligence agency picked up on it.
	There's so much...
	So what do you think was really going on since he keeps saying Kelly instead of Flynn?
	And it's not corrected.
	It was General Flynn, not General Kelly.
	Well, that's interesting.
	So either that's a massive, just pure mistake, or the guy's got something in his head about Kelly, and Kelly, didn't Kelly kind of leave enough?
	Kelly had to be front of mind to say, Kelly, you don't just say somebody's, you know, I don't call you schnitzer for no good reason.
	Well, you can if you squeeze my butt while you do it, but that's the limit.
	I'm not going for that.
	Nice try.
	I don't know what's going on.
	I don't know what's going on.
	It's baffling.
	It's strange, isn't it?
	They probably were spying on Kelly.
	Or maybe Kelly was spying on others.
	Who knows?
	Didn't Kelly kind of leave in a huff?
	Yeah, he left in a huff and he's probably borderline voting for Biden.
	He was never a big Trumper.
	No.
	Oh, no.
	He was thrust on Trump by, you know, the other anti-Trump people.
	Yeah.
	Final clip for me, then, is the money, honey.
	Trump called in, and...
	The world's longest interview.
	49 seconds is what I thought would be good enough for us.
	They spied on my campaign, which is treason.
	They spied both before and after I won.
	Think of that.
	Using the intelligence apparatus of the United States to take down...
	A president, a legally elected president, a duly elected president of the United States.
	It's the single biggest political crime in the history of our country, and I hope they're doing a job.
	I hope they're not going to be politically correct and say, well, you know, we want to go.
	Let's get the lower guys that forged the documents going into FISA.
	Let's just get a couple of the lower guys.
	I hope they're not going to be.
	Bill Barr can go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country, or he can go down as just an average guy.
	It depends on what's going to happen.
	He sounds serious when he does that.

	Bill Barr is completely compromised.
	Look at where he comes from.
	Look at where he was.
	Look at what he was doing in different administrations.
	My God, his father hired Jeffrey Epstein to teach at some bogus class in his school.
	So who knows if Bill Barr is going to actually send anyone down the river.
	It's wild.
	Yeah.
	That's wild, but it's also good.
	Go podcasting.

	So we'll have to look into her.
	We've got Nick the Ratch coming up.
	She's got a name for radio.
	Yeah.
	It's also a good spy name.
	Nick the Rat coming up after the show.

	And such.
	Why does phlegm suddenly appear every time?
	You are near Oh
	Just like me You came to be COVID too Why do bats fall down from the sky Every time you walk by Just like me You came to be COVID too On
	the day this bug was born, the scientists got together and decided to make some toxic goo.
	Well, they sprinkled AIDS dust on some slimy mould and sold it as bat stew.
	And that is why all the girls in town cough up their lungs and fall down.
	Just like me, they came to be COVID too.
	Specifically, have you taken a cognitive test?
	No, I haven't taken a test.
	Why the hell would I take a test?
	Come on, man!
	Look...
	Good afternoon, everyone.
	Welcome to Kingswood Community Center, actually.
	That's the one down I used to work.
	That's a joke.
	You didn't know where we were anyway.
	And they literally had to take the top of my head off.
	I mean, you take a saw and they cut your head off.
	Look, come on, man.
	Did you watch that?
	Look, come on, man.
	What are my chances of getting off this table and being completely normal?
	If he can't figure out the difference between an elephant and a lion, I don't know what the hell he's talking about.
	Every profession has their sick jokes.
	In good times, communities of color are still alive.
	Think of the millions of children who are sitting by the television watching that cop smash the head of George against the curb.
	I shouldn't say it.
	I'm going to say something I probably shouldn't say.
	It's a joke.
	I'm going to beat Joe Biden.
	You wear the mask so you don't make somebody else sick.
	Sick.
	Sick.
	What's with this guy?
	Marriage is between a man and a woman.
	What's the game going on here?
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	The world's going to Hades in a handbasket.
	That's like saying you, before you got in this program, you're taking tests where you're taking cocaine or not.
	What do you think, huh?
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	Come on, man.
	Come on, man.
	I'm very willing to let the American public judge my physical, as well as my mental fitness, and to, you know, to make a judgment about who I am.
	Oh, yeah, wait a minute, Mr. Bozeman.
	He seems to make a distinction between mail-in ballot and absentee ballot.
	But there's no such distinction.
	They're the same thing.
	Did the dead get ballots?
	Take a look at thousands of pieces of mail that never made it to Portland homes and businesses.
	Please tell us a postal worker was the one stealing them.
	That's very frightening to think that I can't mail something here and it's gonna be okay.
	Osborne blames it on his meth addiction, which contributed to his inability to deliver the mail.
	Put your mask on, line up, and vote like we always do.
	How many postal workers are caught, and what's being done to prevent theft at your post office?
	Wait, oh yes, wait a minute, Mr.
	Boseman.
	Wait, wait, hey, hey, hey.
	So, Jamie Lee Curtis believes that Donald Trump is attempting to steal the election and, I assume, the mail-in ballots by hiring tow truck drivers to haul away mail vans that she believes are full of Democrat ballots?
	By tampering with the Postal Service, he is, in effect, putting his knee on the neck of American democracy.
	Donald Trump is stealing the election!
	But you may face a phony charge if you attempt to vote twice, that is by mail and also in person.
	But they raid the mailboxes.
	They can even print mellows.
	They get the same paper, the same machine, nothing special.
	Amazon is going to pay for the post office.
	That's a 3D delivery.
	It's a 3D delivery.
	It's a 3D delivery to you.
	The best podcast in the human world!
	Adios, mofo.
