	This is my show.
	I ask the questions.
	Don't you do what I say?
	Adam Couric.
	John C. Dvorak.
	And Sunday, August 23rd, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1271.
	This is No Agenda.
	And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all trying to catch our breath over the Joe Biden speech, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Yeah, can't wait to talk about good old Joe.
	But more importantly, how's the fire?
	There's no fire around here.
	I know.
	There's fires everywhere, apparently.
	What's the...
	You don't have any local info?
	Any updates?
	I mean, is it moving?
	Is it moving towards you?
	Is it moving away?
	Is it not important?
	There's nothing moving toward me.
	I'm on the bay.
	Has it consumed Scott Adams' home yet?
	I heard he was really worried.
	Apparently not.
	No.
	All right.
	Okay, do you need a rain stick?
	Does somebody need a rain stick over there?
	No, because what happens with the rain stick, and I think this is the reason these all started, is because of your rain stick.
	What?
	It triggered the, yeah, it brought in rain, but it also brought in all those 2,500 lightning strikes.
	What do you mean that's my lightning?
	I didn't do that with the rain stick.
	I did some stuff for Colorado.
	Well, it goes over everywhere.
	That's very unprofessional.
	You don't know what the result is.
	It's dangerous to do it.
	That's okay, but it's very unprofessional to blame a fellow rain sticker for something like that.
	You know, back it up, man.
	Facts.
	Pump the brakes.
	Pump the brakes, bro.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	Yeah, it's okay.
	Hey, we're getting screwed here in Austin.
	Screwed, screwed, screwed.
	And it will not stand.
	Screwed?
	Screws?
	It's worth three screws in a row.
	Yeah, we're getting screwed.
	Okay.
	The promise was, okay, shutting the bars down again, restaurants still at half capacity, we'll do more curve flattening, and once we were on a seven-day average of below 44 hospital admissions per week, They had these rules.
	They were set in stone, so you can count on them.
	Yeah, right.
	We cannot let our guard down.
	We cannot make any changes from the behavior that we've had.
	Austin Public Health has seen a downward trend in both new COVID-19 cases and hospital admissions.
	The hospital admissions are, they're still going down.
	But they're certainly going down at a much slower rate than we saw in July.
	Wednesday's seven-day moving average for hospital admissions is 29, well below Stage 4's risk-based guidelines of 40 or higher.
	Looking at the chart, the Austin-Travis County area should be in yellow.
	Stage 3, which would allow for non-essential travel and give the green light to shop and dine.
	The pandemic has drastically impacted businesses, shutting doors and making it difficult for small businesses to operate at limited capacity.
	Interim Health Authority Dr.
	Mark Escott says his office is working on moving away from hospital admissions As their key indicator for the stages of risk-based guidelines and instead may look at the positivity rate and new cases as the new indicator to move thresholds.
	We're still considering ourselves in stage four and we want to keep it that way until we can get below five percent in terms of positivity across the board and certainly we want to be more protective in our advice Oh, so really it's just until September 8th.
	This is really un-American.
	What's un-American about it?
	Well, the American way is, alright everybody, let's get this down.
	Less than 44, 7 day average.
	Come on everybody, shape up.
	Let's do it.
	Okay, we're all in.
	We're going for the goal.
	We can do it.
	We're a team.
	We're America, number one.
	We do it.
	And then it's, nah, well, you know, we're going to change from hospitalizations to positive test rate.
	Are you kidding me?
	So, it's the Austin City Council, man.
	You're very disappointed, it seems, you're mayor.
	I'm very disappointed.
	Not the mayor, the city council, and that shill you heard, the temporary health expert that they've hired, some consultant, a-hole.
	It's all that.
	It's all the pharma guys, and they're all too afraid to say no.
	Are you clipping your pen?
	It's really loud.
	You know, it's funny you always say that.
	I click it when I'm listening to you sometimes just out of habit because I have the pen in my hand because I was writing with it.
	And so I got the pen in my hand.
	I'm clicking, clicking.
	It is a mile away from the microphone.
	Yeah.
	But it's in the zone of the microphone.
	What are you using?
	I have my Precise V7 RT from Pilot.
	That's your microphone?
	No, that's my pen.
	Oh.
	Yes, everybody, I'm using a brand new podcaster mic, which I'm crowdfunding.
	It's the Precise V7RT. You're going to love it from Pilot.
	Well, it's a pen I got from the Commerce with the Z-Bank in Brazil.
	When you're moving some cash down there.
	The Commerce Z-Bank.
	Ah, Mr.
	Dvorak, here you go.
	So, this is very disappointing, yes.
	It's also not, it's just not okay.
	So, they will have to, they will have to account.
	They shall repent for this, one way or the other.
	But we're moving into this phase, which I am not even sure we're going to have schools open at all.
	The vaccine phase is coming hard and heavy now.
	Hard and heavy.
	And by the way, the vaccine might not even arrive.
	Who knows?
	And we already know it doesn't work.
	Well, we have Trump now gaslighting the industry by tweeting, the deep state or whoever over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics.
	Obviously, they're hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd.
	This is very interesting.
	So they are having trouble...
	What are you talking about?
	They're hard to get people.
	All you have to do is keep upping the ante.
	You want $100?
	You want $200?
	You want $300?
	You want $400?
	They've got tons of money.
	This is a good question.
	Why exactly does he say that?
	And I have a feeling that they have a very strong push.
	Actually, it was Kamala Harris who kind of brought that back to my attention.
	Hold on a second.
	Here, this is what Kamala said.
	And while this virus touches us all, we've got to be honest, it is not an equal opportunity offender.
	Black, Latino, and indigenous people are suffering and dying disproportionately.
	And this is not a coincidence.
	It is the effect of structural racism.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	The virus is racist.
	But what's happening is they are trying to find two groups, Native Americans and African Americans, or what they call the black community, what we would say ADOS, to be the first in line to take the vaccine and this is apparently because surprise surprise African Americans have different responses to vaccines we know they have according
	to what they're saying a much higher case rate and oh my goodness it's all it's racist where the virus is racist or a The healthcare system is racist.
	It's all racism.
	So they're trying to get black Americans and Native Americans to be in the first trial.
	They're not so enthusiastic.
	I had a chat with Mo yesterday.
	It's like, are you kidding?
	Do you know?
	We remember Tuskegee Airmen.
	We remember all the times that black people in America have been experimented on, and really are not, you know, very conspiratorial in that regard.
	It's rampant amongst the black community.
	And then he said something else that really kind of blew me away.
	And he said, they're going so hard for the vaccines.
	What are the two things that are, that we're having trouble reopening that just remain shut?
	One is schools, which is great for black and brown parents because they're poor.
	And, you know, they're only going to open up if your kid has the vaccine.
	You already have to have all kinds of vaccines for your kid to go to school anyway.
	So they will pressure the lower class, which is going to be black and brown.
	They're going to pressure them into taking the vaccine.
	They have to.
	And also, where do poor, certainly poor, but not all poor, but where do a lot of black and brown people assemble and where do they talk about conspiracy theories and vaccines and taking it or not?
	Where is the one place that is truly conspiracy central?
	Church.
	So you've got to wonder why churches aren't allowed to open.
	I thought it was pretty eye-opening to think about it that way.
	They want it so bad, and we have to stop all this conspiracy theory thinking about it, and let's bring Dr.
	Bill out to start telling us what we really need to do, how much we suck, and, well, let's start off with the conspiracy theories.
	How much damage has been done by the kind of conspiracy theories that have grown up, particularly on social media, even frankly about you personally, you know, you caused the pandemic.
	I mean, it's very ad hominem now.
	Is that sort of, you know, something you could brush aside?
	Do you think there's real damage done by that kind of conspiracy theory?
	You know, it's hard for me, because I'm so, you know, science-oriented, to even, you know, go, oh, come on.
	Not really.
	People don't really believe that.
	You know, those things are completely untrue.
	They do.
	And to the degree...
	Is it interesting that...
	She didn't give any examples.
	She just said conspiracy theories.
	And he's immediately, those things are untrue.
	What is he talking about?
	The Epstein conspiracy theories?
	Or is he talking about vaccine conspiracy theories?
	He never really says what it is.
	But they're untrue!
	You know, it's hard for me, because I'm so, you know, science-oriented.
	Science!
	To even, you know, go, oh, come on.
	Not really.
	People don't really believe that.
	I love it.
	He's so science-oriented, he can't even say, come on, people don't believe that.
	That's how much science is a part of his being.
	Well, how is he science-oriented?
	He dropped out of college, he's never worked in science, and he gives money away for a living.
	Science!
	Specifically, what kind of a scientist is he?
	I think it's a sexual preference.
	I don't know.
	Maybe I'm misunderstanding what he's saying.
	You know, those things are completely untrue.
	And to the degree they cause people not to wear masks or seek out the vaccine, you know, or to think this is all some big conspiracy, that's unfortunate.
	Or seeking out the vaccine.
	What?
	What is he talking about?
	He says wearing masks and seeking out the vaccine.
	Is anyone out there seeking out the vaccine?
	I know.
	This is a great little interview.
	What vaccine?
	Bill is just rambling here.
	Oh, hold on.
	Let's go back a little.
	And to the degree they cause people not to wear masks or seek out the vaccine.
	Seek out the vaccine, yes.
	This is really his problem, is that people are not seeking out the vaccine.
	You know, or to think this is all some big conspiracy, that's unfortunate.
	And, you know, countries where the leaders have been more clear, you know, have had more compliance on the masks and social distancing, so that's been a benefit to them.
	I think it'll die down.
	I mean, a pandemic is a time when it's not totally surprising that people's concern and, you know, reaching for oversimplistic explanations gets a little bit higher.
	And, you know, weirdly, it's come at the time of an election in the U.S. that's fairly polarized.
	A lot of things, there seems to be some confluence between social media election and pandemic that...
	Have this at a level that, you know, I certainly never expected to be mentioned in any of those things because, you know, we were pretty obscure doing our work on infectious disease, which is mostly important.
	We didn't make a big deal of it.
	We didn't have entire TV specials.
	I didn't keep sticking my nose in it.
	I didn't have my publicist keep putting me on TV. Yeah.
	Low profile.
	Very low.
	You know, I certainly never expected to be mentioned in any of those things because, you know, we were pretty obscure doing our work on infectious disease, which is mostly in poor countries, and this has gotten infectious diseases and, you know, crazy ideas about them into the rich countries in a way that you never would have predicted.
	You know, the values of the foundation are about saving lives.
	We have a great track record of...
	Achieving that.
	A great track record of saving lives.
	Except in a couple of African countries, you might want to strike those from the record.
	So I'm not somebody who can complain because I've had this amazing life and get to do this amazing work.
	It's amazing work.
	Yes.
	Amazing because it's magical.
	Let's turn to the US, because it's the country, you know, it's the world's biggest economy, it's the preeminent public health country in the world, it's got the world's best epidemiologists.
	What?
	Why is it done so badly?
	Well, we believe in freedom, individual freedom.
	This is, I love this so much.
	The problem with America, the problem...
	The problem, why it's all screwed up, is because we believe in freedom.
	Listen to what he's saying.
	Why is it done so badly?
	Well, we believe in freedom.
	Individual freedom.
	We optimize for individual rights.
	You know, there's some bad luck in this, that the...
	The CDC's initial test was slow, complicated, didn't work.
	They didn't let the commercial labs come in.
	We messed up getting that commercial lab capacity going.
	We never created a CDC website.
	Oh, that explains it.
	That would prioritize who was tasked.
	We should have had one of those Obama $2 billion websites.
	Oh, a website.
	That's the difference.
	A website.
	That would have solved it.
	Tested.
	Oh, yeah.
	So that both we didn't overload the system to avoid taking more than 24 hours to give you results, and we were making sure low-income communities and people who really needed the tests were getting them as opposed to wealthy people who like to be tested on a regular basis or force their delivery people or people who work in their house to be tested every week.
	So it's not just we love freedom, but it's the rich people.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	What wealthy people do you know, I know a few, that like to be tested on a regular basis?
	I know one who does it multiple times a week, and it's Joe Rogan.
	He's tested, his family's tested, every guest is tested.
	Multiple times.
	Joe Biden hasn't even been tested once.
	Well, that's another story.
	So we've had a very uncoordinated testing thing.
	Even though we have way more PCR machines than any country, and we've performed at this point, although that was slow to get going, we've performed a lot of tests.
	But the delayed results and the fact that people's behavior, even if they test positive, doesn't We didn't change their behavior as much as other countries to take them out of the infection pool.
	That's where, unfortunately, we had a continued high level of infection through the summer.
	Okay.
	Give this guy the hook, for God's sake.
	Well, he does have a message, and the message is, so we have the vaccine message, and then the next one that's coming, they've got to set it up because that's all a part of Build Back Better.
	One last question, which is what lessons do you think handling this crisis has taught you for the next one and not the next pandemic, but something that you think is said publicly is an even greater challenge, which is that of climate change?
	Yeah, climate change is like this pandemic in that you trust your government.
	To see things that lie ahead that will be super problematic, like a natural disaster or a war.
	Super problematic.
	It's just super duper problematic.
	Take the steps to avoid this awful outcome.
	And in the case of pandemic, there were voices saying to do that, and the cost was actually quite modest to do it right.
	That wasn't done.
	I'm hopeful that reminds people that, yes, you have to prepare in advance.
	Climate change isn't uncertain.
	It's definitely coming.
	How quickly it comes...
	Yeah, there's still some uncertainty about that.
	You see how quickly he makes that shift.
	It's like, pandemic, vaccines, and then climate change.
	Climate change isn't uncertain.
	It's definitely coming.
	How quickly it comes, yeah, there's still some uncertainty about that.
	But the fact that it's very bad, and over time it gets worse, and you have to stop the emissions fairly quickly to not get to extreme levels...
	We need to make those investments, and we can couple that with some of the pandemic.
	Ah, bring me your money now for climate change.
	We can couple that with some of the pandemic initiatives.
	I only need $4 billion.
	Recovery activity.
	Again, it's about innovation.
	In this negative picture, one thing I'll say is innovation continues, whether it's on global health pools or likewise on climate.
	Global health pools?
	What is he talking about?
	He's just throwing stuff out there because the guy's turning into a, I don't know what to say.
	Well, he's got...
	You know, this is like a money grab of some sort.
	Oh.
	But he also loves the YouTube...
	I mean, he made bank on the word innovation over at Microsoft while they were stealing code from everybody else.
	That's one way to innovate.
	The World Health Organization, Dr.
	Professor Tedros, MD, is also very, very concerned about the future.
	Hey, people, the vaccine is not just going to do it, okay?
	You're really going to have to change your behavior.
	Several countries around the world are now experiencing fresh outbreaks after a long period with little or no transmission.
	These countries are a cautionary tale for those that are now seeing a downward trend in cases.
	There's no outbreaks anywhere.
	There's increased cases, but there's no outbreaks.
	hospitals are not filling up in any country that I know of progress does not mean victory the fact remains that most people remain susceptible to this virus that's why it's vital that countries are able to quickly identify and prevent clusters to prevent prevent community transmission and the possibility of new restrictions.
	No country can just ride this out until we have a vaccine.
	A vaccine will be a vital tool.
	And we hope that we will have one as soon as possible.
	But there is no guarantee that we will.
	And even if we do have a vaccine, it won't end the pandemic on its own.
	We must all learn to control and manage this virus using the tools we have now.
	You know, the ones like, shut up slave, put on the muzzle, stay home.
	And to make the adjustments to our daily lives that are needed to keep ourselves and each other safe.
	We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were.
	Throughout history, outbreaks and pandemics have changed economies and societies.
	This one will be no different.
	In particular, the pandemic has given new impetus to the need to accelerate efforts to respond to climate change.
	There it is.
	The pandemic has given us a glimpse of our world as it could.
	Here it comes, exactly what we expected.
	Hey, wasn't that great sitting at home for 18 years?
	Look how blue the sky is.
	Look at the water.
	The trout are jumping.
	Now, you're going to need to do more of this with our lockdown weekends.
	It's all coming.
	Connecting it to climate change.
	Bag of dicks.
	All of them.
	It's really not okay.
	Really not okay.
	And where it's super not okay is Australia.
	They've gone full crazy on the surveillance of people's behavior in this horrible, horrible pandemic.
	Right.
	Welcome back.
	New video surveillance technology will be rolled out next month to help Australian businesses maintain social distancing in the workplace, powered by artificial intelligence.
	The system includes contact tracing and COVID-19 mask detection capabilities without the need for a phone app.
	Oh my God!
	Oh my God!
	John, this is the innovation Bill Gates was talking about.
	You can have social distancing surveillance without a phone app.
	How would they do this?
	I can't wait for this innovation.
	As more Australians head back to the office and factories, a new tool will be activated on June 1st to make enforcing pandemic distancing rules easier.
	Developed by Motorola Solutions, this smart surveillance system will watch where people walk and where foot traffic is causing close contact.
	It will record it and report it for action.
	Ah, reported for action!
	...is doing all the heavy lifting so real people don't have to watch hours of video.
	For example, if wearing a mask is a company policy, you'll be flagged by the system when you're not wearing one.
	We take our role as practitioners of responsible AI very seriously and pay particular attention to designing products that empower decision makers and also design for privacy.
	Empower decision makers.
	And it's designed for privacy.
	Surveillance tech can already easily track people in a crowd.
	Here's the system following a subject in yellow.
	It works the same way in COVID-19 tracing.
	Too close for too long, the system follows the trail like a detective.
	If successful, it could be a game changer in the battle to stop the spread of COVID-19 in the community.
	A game changer that a body recognition system sees if two bodies are too close together in the workplace, flags you for immediate action.
	Things drop out of the ceiling and beat you on the head or a big net?
	I like the idea of the big net.
	We're sorry, citizen.
	You violated the terms of our agreement here in the office.
	So, it's just all over the place.
	Internationally, we have riots now in the Netherlands against the...
	You know, they're still trying to pass that law where they put the social distancing, the one-and-a-half-meter society, codified into permanent law so they could always use that against you.
	And...
	You know, the Netherlands has changed a lot since I really lived there, lived there.
	But I saw cops beating, beating old women with their billy clubs, beating them to the ground.
	Old women with purses going, hey, this is, boom, smacking them.
	That is, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in the Netherlands.
	Certainly not from the cops.
	So, yeah, and it's disturbing to watch.
	And just, you know, the old women, a couple of women who are just talking to the cop, and the cop says, move it, and they don't move immediately.
	Boom!
	Boom!
	Hitting him with a stick!
	And mean, too.
	Ugh.
	In Spain, we have a boots-on-the-ground report from Rene.
	Here in Spain, we seem to be being brainwashed into believing we'll need a second lockdown in September.
	Yes, the rumor is September 18th will be a new EU lockdown, and it would be starting in Spain.
	That's when they expect the twindemic to hit with the seasonal flu.
	Some regional governments have started banning smoking outs outside when the security distance can't be maintained because of supposed larger droplet sizes in the cigarette smoke.
	Oh, brother.
	Brothels.
	Brothels.
	Gotta close.
	Hotspots of infection.
	Also, a video interview with a doctor who works in a hospital in El Escorial.
	Oh, that's right.
	This is the guy.
	He refutes the panic of the journalist who's in a tizzy about the rising number of cases in the region.
	This guy's getting kind of famous.
	He says we can't take it at face value because the PCR test just says someone's positive with the virus doesn't say whether they're actually sick or need to be admitted.
	Yeah.
	Well, dream on with getting that message through.
	He also disputes the idea of mandatory vaccine.
	The other day, there was also an anti-mask protest.
	Oh, it's only here, right?
	It's only in America.
	Nowhere else.
	It's now mandatory in Amsterdam and Rotterdam as well.
	Mandatory.
	And people are protesting against it.
	So masks in the protest in the Senate of Madrid.
	But they are obviously being painted as crazy COVID deniers.
	And, you know, he will keep us updated on what else happens.
	Apparently they've gone nuts on the Canary Islands.
	The Canary Islands?
	What do you know?
	They're...
	The same thing.
	They got mass protests.
	Oh, but they're going angry nuts.
	Oh, they're, yeah, throwing rocks at nuts.
	Agriculture Minister Klockner in Germany announced this week she had taken expert advice and was introducing a law to ensure dogs go for a walk or run in the garden at least twice a day for a total of an hour and they will be checking you.
	And of course this has got even the dog people like, well, hold on a second.
	I got this kind of dog.
	He doesn't need to walk for an hour twice a day.
	But no, it is now compulsory walkies for dog owners.
	Germany!
	Deutschland!
	I will...
	I do have one Germany clip.
	I do think at least there's one thing interesting in Germany, which is the German experiment.
	Somebody's finally decided to experiment with all these edicts and see what works, what doesn't work, and whether it needs to be done in the first place.
	Play this clip.
	Now, as Germany tries to tackle that new surge in cases, scientists there are taking an innovative approach to studying the coronavirus, staging three pop concerts in Leipzig this Saturday involving 1,500 volunteers in a bit to better understand how the virus spreads at large events.
	More with James Ficina.
	Large crowds lining up to get past the security gate.
	It almost looks like a regular gig outside the Leipzig Arena.
	Hoping to get a better understanding of how COVID-19 spreads in large indoor gatherings, volunteers split into three child groups attended separate concerts of German pop singer Tim Bensko.
	Equipped with face masks and tracking devices, the first group acted as though there were no distancing measures in place, while the second kept some distance and attendees in the third remained one and a half metres apart.
	A chance for many to finally watch a live performance.
	Ugh.
	Ugh.
	Ugh. you Sure.
	So what they're doing is they're taking three groups and doing three separate, making them watch the concert three different ways.
	Right.
	In other words, nobody cares way, just all jumbled together a couple feet apart, three feet apart in different situations.
	Right.
	And it's, I don't know how important this is, but it seems to me that after all these assertions and complaining and what we should do and what we shouldn't do, it's all been based on theory, not science, because science requires experimentation.
	And science is not just saying something is true, and then it is suddenly true.
	There's no science involved with the social distancing at all.
	Nobody's, you know, said, well, we've sneezed and a particle went so far.
	No, it's all based on...
	Uh, cases of airplane, uh, spread.
	Uh, It's like, okay, someone had it here, and this goes way back.
	They pulled up these really old studies.
	Right, and this is hardly the same as being in public in the open air.
	The other thing is, which I wish you could find this clip, but I still, every time we play clips about mask wearing, I keep remembering that Fauci clip that early on, stupid to wear masks, it doesn't do any good, you're just making it worse to wear a mask, it's unhealthy.
	Here it is.
	There's a whole...
	We go back to, I believe this was May, no, March 6th.
	Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
	You're sure of it?
	Because people are listening really closely to this.
	Right now, people should not be walking, there's no reason to be walking around with a mask.
	When you're in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet.
	But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
	And often, there are unintended consequences.
	People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching their face.
	And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?
	Of course.
	Of course.
	But when you think masks, you should think of healthcare providers needing them and people who are ill.
	That was not a situational analysis.
	That was an actual analysis, I think, of truth and facts that he gave there.
	Yeah.
	So what happened to that?
	Well, we need to have everybody comply.
	You need to be compliant.
	It's getting you ready for the vaccine.
	And I think a lot of people will say, no thanks, I'm not going to take it.
	As we know, people will be lined up around the block to get it, mainly just to work or just to have their kids go to school.
	That's how evil this is.
	Well, I will stop again and say the same thing I said before, because I'm not in total agreement with that.
	I think people will line up to get it the way they did swine flu and H1N1. They will just line up because they're afraid.
	They're afraid.
	They're afraid.
	They think this vaccine is going to save them.
	I don't think everyone's as cynical as we are.
	No, many are.
	I cannot find a millennial who's going to go for it.
	And these are millennials who are, you know, super Trump haters, hold their nose, vote for Joe, capitalism needs to die, wear a mask, I wear a mask to protect you.
	I will agree with this one thesis.
	I agree with that.
	I have not found a millennial.
	Who will admit to it?
	Ooh, I've only found millennials who are saying, yeah, I'm not gonna, you know, maybe later.
	Actually, you had a question about vaccines on the last show, and the question was related to doctors and healthcare workers.
	Do they fake getting vaccines for the flu?
	And I have three responses that I'd like to share.
	In three different scenarios, although it'll become very evident what's going on.
	The shill from Chapel Hill says in the morning I want to chime in on the I sign your form, you sign my form discussion.
	I work for UNC Chapel Hill.
	The university was first to open and then first to close.
	I'm an accountant at the UNC Dental School.
	I don't come in contact with patients.
	In fact, I work in a completely separate building.
	However, I'm still required to get a flu shot every year.
	Luckily for me, we self-report our vaccines.
	We have to fill out a form listing the date and location where we received the vaccine.
	If requested, we are supposed to be able to provide documentation.
	It's a risk, but one of my colleagues and I have been filling out the form without receiving the vaccine by picking a date and listing an off-campus pharmacy.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Then we have an anonymous healthcare worker.
	When I was first hired to work at a hospital some years ago, I was told having a flu vaccine was a condition for employment.
	I worked at a national pharmacy chain and got one.
	I'd never had the flu before in adulthood, and of course that year I got so bad I had to take a week off from work because I was so sick, and I still have pain in my left arm where I got the injection.
	The employee health department at the hospital I was working at did not care about my reaction to the first shot and said my only option would be to wear a mask at all times in the building and I would be written up if I was ever caught not wearing it.
	I spoke with my former co-worker at the pharmacy chain about my problem he offered to fake the shot for me.
	So I went in, paid for my shot, went into the shot room, and instead of jabbing me, he threw the shot in the trash.
	We now do this every year.
	I'm good friends with this pharmacist outside of work.
	I don't think he would be willing to do it to potentially risk his license for someone he didn't trust otherwise.
	But here's the one that I think is probably the most often used, and unless they go for a digital certification of vaccination, this would certainly, I think, work in the interim.
	I work for a biomedical company and I work inside operating rooms at many hospitals.
	They require a flu shop.
	I go to Walgreens or CVS in another town where I don't live and pay for the vaccine.
	They give me a receipt and proof I got the vaccine.
	Then they tell me to go wait over there and wait in line.
	When they go in the back to get the vaccine, I leave with my proof of vaccine in hand.
	I think that's the way to go.
	You buy it?
	The last one is genius.
	That's the way to go.
	They're all kind of doing a variation, but this one, when you pay for it, you get your receipt, and like, okay, and you go, wait over there, and you can always say, where's the bathroom?
	And just slip out the back, Jack, you got your receipt.
	That is all the proof that currently seems to be required by most in general.
	Having a lot number sticker, like the Netherlands, man, they've got brand new vaccine passports.
	I was sent a picture.
	They're like a regular passport.
	Like, you know, with a sturdy outside cover, and every place there's a spot to put the sticker from your actual vial that you receive.
	It's like going to a trade show and getting all these little stickers so you can get a little prize at the end.
	It's like a frequent flyer thing.
	Hey, it's like Starbucks.
	Or a free loaf of bread.
	That's pretty much the equivalent.
	Anna is pregnant.
	She's one of our producers.
	She's expecting to deliver in September.
	Of course, September 3rd.
	It'll be a great day for your child.
	Last night, my husband and I took a virtual newborn class through our hospital in Austin.
	Oh, this is in Austin.
	The first 30 minutes was spent on COVID protocols that I wanted to share.
	Upon arrival at the hospital to give birth, pregnant woman receives a rapid swab test.
	Pregnant woman is allowed one visitor during labor.
	Side note, our friend who gave birth had to choose between having her husband in the room or her doula.
	In case you were curious, she chose her husband.
	I wasn't familiar with doula.
	It's like a midwife.
	Except it's different from a midwife?
	No, it's like a midwife, but not a midwife.
	It's more an emotional support midwife.
	Life coach.
	I like emotional support, midwife.
	The visitor does not receive the rapid test, but they do get their temperature checked.
	If pregnant woman is COVID positive, they will not turn her away.
	She will still be able to give birth in the hospital.
	How generous.
	If COVID positive, once she gives birth, baby will be socially distanced from mom in the same room, but at least six feet.
	This is so fucking cruel.
	What?
	If COVID positive, mom chooses to breastfeed.
	How are you going to nurse the baby?
	Here it comes.
	If COVID positive, mom chooses to breastfeed, she will pump and the nurse will feed the baby from the bottle.
	This is Middle Ages, man.
	If mom's negative, mom can breastfeed and is not required to wear a mask while holding the baby.
	What medieval town do they live in?
	Austin, Texas.
	I'm telling you, this is not...
	Joe!
	Joe Rogan!
	Stay!
	It might be better in California.
	I'm not sure.
	Think twice, my friend.
	Jeez, it's really, really, really nuts.
	By the way, back to that church thing, 2700 evangelicals have now warned against politicizing coronavirus and urged Christians to take the vaccine.
	And this was an initiative from BioLogo.
	Is this the same signature of those same 2700 lawyers and 2700 health professionals and 2700 anti-Trumpers?
	No.
	This is a little better than that.
	This is the 2700 faithful that a certain Francis Collins has been able to assemble.
	Remember...
	Anthony Fauci's boss, Francis Collins, he is on this Pope's special lifetime advisory board, and they've all been trying to...
	And he wrote the book.
	He wrote the book on telling Christians, maybe Catholics specifically...
	That science has a place in religion, and they go together.
	One doesn't cancel the other out.
	This has been his mission, and now through his BioLogos, that's actually the publication that he received, that $1.3 million award from some stupid foundation.
	They're just...
	Who knows if these are like the Chinese evangelicals, you know, the ones that are above ground.
	It certainly doesn't feel like the real ones who are living underground.
	You know, we have them here too.
	So yeah, it's a mailing list, but it's a new one.
	And it's controlled by the guy who's really in charge of the vaccines.
	Then a story that's been going around for a couple weeks about teachers being very worried in the upcoming school season that parents will be listening in and eavesdropping on the lessons.
	And they're very worried and they have huge concerns about doing these video lessons because parents could be eavesdropping and it's inappropriate.
	And, well, of course, on the...
	Yeah, hold on a second.
	Heaven forbid a parent of a 10-year-old is listening and monitoring a teacher's propagandizing their own kid.
	That's terrible to think that that could be happening.
	Dan, this is exactly the way Fox News positioned this news.
	A school district in Tennessee is taking heat for asking parents to sign a form agreeing not to eavesdrop on their kids' virtual classes over concerns they could overhear confidential information.
	But after pushback from parents...
	But they're doing patent analysis?
	What are they doing?
	Confidential.
	Patton, are they discussing the new Intel chips?
	What's confidential here?
	I don't know.
	It's probably the podcasting 2.0 plan.
	You know, like, shh, we can't let anyone know.
	Hear confidential information.
	But after pushback from parents, Rutherford County School District is allowing them to tune in with permission from the teacher.
	But parents are not allowed to record the classes.
	Here to react is founder of Proclaiming Justice to the Nations and mother of five, Lori Cordoza.
	Help us out.
	Why would a school...
	I think I might know the answer.
	Why would they not want parents to see what teachers are teaching their kids?
	Well, obviously, because they are teaching our children propaganda that they should not be teaching.
	They are trying to socialize our children.
	We have had a major problem.
	Excuse me.
	We've had a major problem in education, not just here in Tennessee, but across the country, where they are indoctrinating our children with propaganda.
	And not only that, they're telling parents in this agreement that they had to sign, that if they know that somebody else is violating and tuning in, they're to tell on that parent.
	And if they violate this after they sign the agreement, if they violate it, then they can remove the child from the virtual learning classroom.
	What does that mean?
	Does that mean somebody from the school district is going to knock on my door and pull my kid out of my home, his virtual classroom?
	Or is it going to be my tax dollars that fund my child's public education?
	My child won't get to participate in education because of it.
	What are they trying to hide?
	Well, obviously, that is the Fox News take on it, but I can't argue that that could be very possible.
	What is your problem?
	Or are they so crappy with their instruction that they're afraid of...
	No, there is crappiness involved, but I think it mostly has to do with...
	One of my kids, when they were younger, they came back, I think they were in the second grade or something, bitching and moaning about Christopher Columbus being a horrible rapist.
	And just stuff like that.
	But here's what's really going to happen, which is kind of negating this whole fear, which is Amy Goodman's report.
	This is the teachers are going to be designated as essential workers, and here's the result.
	Teacher's clip.
	Meanwhile, the White House says it'll designate teachers as essential workers exempt from quarantine requirements if they're exposed to COVID-19.
	This is the White House Press Secretary speaking on Fox News.
	We believe teachers are essential workers.
	The media never stopped working during this pandemic.
	Our meatpackers didn't stop working during this pandemic.
	Our law enforcement didn't stop working during this pandemic.
	Nor should our teachers, because America's children must come first.
	In July, the American Federation of Teachers said its 1.7 million members stood ready to strike, if necessary, to protect teachers, school staffers, and children from unsafe workplaces.
	Strike.
	Strike.
	Strike, yeah.
	So this little battle is going to go.
	I do have one COVID clip.
	Sure.
	If you want to wrap the segment.
	Yeah, I'm going to transition you right into something cool, but I want to hear what you're...
	I just wanted to play, this is so we know, because you listen to Trump come out, well, you know, things are looking good, numbers are going down like they are in Austin, even though they're not doing anything about it.
	But if you listen to Amy Goodman and the leftists talk about it, it's worse than ever, and this is a good example of the report.
	The U.S. once again recorded more than 1,000 daily coronavirus deaths Thursday.
	The United States still leads the world in both deaths, officially more than 174,000, and confirmed cases with more than 5.5 million.
	But public health officials say the true toll is far higher.
	On Thursday, CDC Director Robert Redfield estimated as much as 18% of the U.S. population has already been infected with the coronavirus.
	I think if you're going to do a crude estimate, somewhere between 30 and 60 million people.
	But let's let the data come out and see what it shows.
	Oh, please.
	What's data?
	No, hold on.
	You missed the whipsaw there.
	She introduced this clip, as this guy says, there's 18% more than reported, there's more than this and that.
	And they throw to the clip, and the guy says, let's let the data come out.
	Let's hear it again.
	The U.S. once again recorded more than 1,000 daily coronavirus deaths Thursday.
	The United States still leads the world in both deaths, officially more than 174,000, and confirmed cases, with more than 5.5 million.
	But public health officials say the true toll is far higher.
	On Thursday, CDC Director Robert Redfield estimated as much as 18 percent of the U.S. population has already been infected with the coronavirus.
	I think if you're going to do a crude estimate, somewhere between 30 and 60 million people, but let's let the data come out and see what it shows.
	So she got the 18% from the 60?
	Is that what she did?
	She said, okay, that's good.
	Yeah, and then he says, let's let the data show.
	I mean, she's already saying that this and that happened, and then they throw to a clip that denies it.
	I mean, this is going on in all segments of the media.
	I mean, democracy now, they don't do quite the professional job that ABC does, but it blew past you.
	It did.
	Well, what was interesting is I heard what he said, and I'm like, well, that's nothing.
	Because I am trained to filter out that bullcrap from her.
	So I didn't even realize this 18%.
	I heard, nah, the data, whatever.
	She's pulling a fast one.
	She is.
	There's something we haven't talked about in many months, but now is a real problem.
	I think the coronavirus will definitely help one of our predictions come true, that Brexit is truly never going to happen.
	There was a time, not long ago...
	I was wondering if we were going to come back around to that, because I was going to bring that up on the last show.
	Yeah, I got a clip about it.
	It's pretty funny.
	There was a time, not long ago, when we heard a lot about...
	Brexit.
	Brexit.
	After a bit of back and forth, the UK officially left the European Union on January the 31st.
	Since then, Britain and the EU have been focused on making arrangements for their future relationship.
	Or at least they had been until...
	The coronavirus outbreak.
	Coronavirus.
	Coronavirus continues to spread.
	With a transition period in place, things haven't changed much yet.
	But time is fast ticking towards an end-of-year deadline to strike a trade deal before the UK leaves the EU. The negotiations haven't been going particularly well, if at all.
	I have taken a test that has come out positive.
	The EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson both had cases of COVID-19.
	And any talks that haven't been cancelled have been all the more difficult without face-to-face contact.
	With key issues including access to the single market, fishing rights and the UK-Ireland border unresolved, there's a long way to go if a deal is to be struck in time.
	Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, Brexit is back.
	You mean the media?
	That was CNN UK. They're all jacked.
	Brexit, we can talk about that again.
	Woohoo!
	Love it, love it, love it.
	But they don't have to worry about Brexit or any kind of deals because the New World Order is here and they're in our face and they're just out there saying it and no one gives a crap, no one's paying attention.
	The slogan for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris is Build Back Better.
	This has been used in Turkey.
	This has been used in Peru.
	This is being used right now in Scandinavia.
	Hello, Justin Trudeau.
	We are taking a moment to recognize that the throne speech we delivered eight months ago had no mention of COVID-19, had no conception of the reality we find ourselves in right now.
	We need to reset the approach of this government for a recovery, to build back better.
	And those are big, important decisions.
	And we need to present that to Parliament and gain the confidence of Parliament to move forward on this ambitious plan.
	We know this is a United Nations.
	Also, the European Investment Bank is promoting Build Back Better.
	And Boris Johnson, Mr.
	Brexit, Mr.
	kind of the British Trump.
	Oh, yeah.
	So I want you to know that this government not only has a vision to change this country for the better, we have a mission to unite and to level up.
	And it's the mission on which we were elected last year.
	And we have a plan.
	And in advancing that plan now, I just so have noticed that we will not be responding to this crisis with what people call austerity.
	We're not going to cheese-pair our way out of trouble.
	Because the world has moved on since 2008.
	And we not only face a new and in some ways a far bigger challenge, but this moment also gives us a much greater chance to be radical and to do things differently, to build back better and to build back bolder.
	And so we will be doubling down on our strategy.
	We will double down on leveling up, if you can make sense of that.
	So with the media...
	With a media that is obsessed with gotchas and catches and, oh my gosh, I'm sure we'll talk about Biden's duplication of his speech.
	Why is the New York Times not questioning Build Back Better?
	This is odd.
	I mean, it's everywhere.
	It's all these New World Order global governments who are talking about Build Back Better, including Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Breitbart, but no one's reporting on it.
	We are.
	Right.
	But we need to have a real analysis.
	Someone has to ask, why are you using a slogan that's used by the United Nations?
	But the media is supposed to ask these things.
	Any M5M outlet that doesn't question this, you can just write them off.
	I mean, how blind are we?
	That includes most of them.
	But, I mean, we're not blind.
	We see this.
	Build back better.
	Everyone's using it.
	This can't be a mistake.
	Yeah, and it's definitely globalist code.
	Yeah.
	Because that's why they keep saying it.
	I mean, Boris Johnson, who apparently has sold out, I think, when he had COVID, they locked him up, and I don't know what they did to him.
	Yeah.
	And he strained.
	You listen to that clip, which is an excellent clip.
	If you listen to that clip, he strained to sneak it in.
	He actually worked on it because their slogan is build, build, build.
	It's not even build back better.
	He has a sign on his lectern that said build, build, build.
	But no.
	He slipped it in.
	He had to slip it.
	He had to because it's a code saying, okay, I'm in the club.
	I used it.
	I used it so don't hurt me again.
	The code is we're part of the Great Reset.
	We're part of the World Economic Forum.
	Yeah, the Great Reset, which is what it's called.
	Yeah.
	You see a lot of documents calling the great...
	I was looking at one the other day.
	It was from one of the stock brokerage companies, the Great Reset.
	And it was the Canadian document that was sent to me by one of our producers.
	She sent me the Great Reset document, which is Trudeau's document.
	And she also mentioned that the people they're putting in office are very sketchy.
	Some of these international globalists as economic ministers.
	Very.
	I mean, it's almost like a coup d'etat.
	World coup d'etat.
	It's not working.
	I mean, it will work here once they elect Joe Biden, but with Trump in office, nothing is going to happen.
	And I'm surprised that he hasn't come out and said something about it.
	I don't think he's noticed it.
	His advisors are no good.
	Well?
	Either that or he has noticed it and he's still working on the cannibals.
	It's not a bad thing.
	Not a bad thing.
	Trump did do about an hour's speech at the Council for National Policy.
	And I think that this was an example of how he's going to be all the way through the election.
	This is CEO Trump, the one I've been saying, although no one's watching it, no one carries it.
	Even Fox doesn't carry the daily briefings if he does one.
	They don't carry it gavel to gavel.
	They cut out or it's just they don't find it interesting.
	But he is vibrating.
	He has higher vibration.
	He's much more positive.
	He's calm.
	He's the CEO delivering the quarterly results.
	He does it with flair, finesse.
	I think the size audience that this was a test run for his for his speech coming up this week.
	This is exactly the size audience I think he'll have if he indeed does it on the White House lawn or whatever they whatever they're talking about.
	And he has something to prove, you know, as the change is to really take away any remembrance of the Democratic National Convention.
	And I think this I think I think this people will like this Trump if he can if he if he can make it show all the way through all the time.
	They're short.
	Except one.
	One is not short.
	But he also talks a lot about actual policy and things that are happening.
	And I could not...
	Keep this 12-second clip from you.
	Look what we've accomplished.
	And now this play comes in and look at the way they talk.
	But look at what's happening and look at how we're shooting up.
	We call it a super V. It's no longer a V. It's a super V. We went from the V to the checkmark.
	Now it's the super V. Super V. He had a...
	He had a new material.
	I thought a very good joke about Biden.
	If you look at what they're doing, Biden, he wants to end fracking, end petroleum products, end petroleum, no natural gas, no nothing, end everything.
	And that's it.
	How does that work in Texas?
	How does that work in Pennsylvania?
	I was in Pennsylvania yesterday.
	The place that he said he was born in, which is true, but he left when he was like nine years old.
	So he left a long time ago.
	He left seven decades ago.
	And he still calls it his home.
	And his real home is a place he never leaves anymore.
	Yeah, yeah.
	But it was well told, and he would refer back to it.
	He's very confident.
	Whatever he's got going on, he's confident.
	And I like this, in relation to Iran, but really the Middle East peace deal, which he's been working on for, well, I guess, Javanka, or Jared's been working on.
	By the way, We were talking about the F-35, how Trump was talking it up, and we were joking about he probably wants to sell those turkeys.
	Well, guess what?
	Apparently, Kushner had a deal to sell the F-35s to the UAE. Hey, come on into our club here.
	And hey, look at these great jets we'll give you.
	Cheap!
	Cheap!
	We got a deal for you this week while stocks last.
	The last administration left us with a Middle East in chaos.
	This was a Middle East in chaos.
	Iran was empowered and exporting terror.
	They don't have too much money now.
	They're not...
	Spending billions of dollars giving it to Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, some of these wonderful groups that are totally vicious, crazed lunatics.
	But Iran's different.
	It's having a hard time.
	Its GDP went down at a level that you wouldn't even believe in the 20s.
	And they'll make a deal.
	I say they'll make a deal within a month, but I probably mean a week.
	But I just want to be right.
	Because they'll call me, they'll say, it took ten days he was wrong.
	They just want to see if I win, they'll be in making a deal.
	And if for some reason they don't, they'll take their time and they will get one of the great deals since the last one where we paid them $150 billion.
	Billion!
	Gave them $150 billion for nothing.
	It wasn't even a long-term deal.
	You know, right now, the time is almost up.
	This was like a short-term deal.
	It's like you rent a store in a shopping center.
	These are countries we're dealing with.
	You need length.
	But it was a short-term deal, but more importantly, we gave them $1.8 billion in cash.
	Think of that.
	Cash.
	Cash.
	We flew it in in Boeing 757s, loaded from floor to ceiling with cash.
	What were these people thinking?
	And had I kept that deal, we terminated that deal.
	Had I kept that deal, we could never have started this incredible thing that's happening with UAE, Israel, and everybody saying, why haven't you invited us?
	Okay, many countries now want to come in.
	This was an impossible thing to even conceive of.
	Impossible.
	I think he's truthful about that.
	I think that they somehow, you know, with Soleimani, Iran, which of course is connected to Iran, then the coincidence, I would say, of the Beirut explosion, all of a sudden this deal comes together and everyone else is going, hey man, I want in, how come you didn't call us?
	I think it may be working.
	I think that maybe there's still a lot of Turkey and Russia that has to be dealt with, but I think something may be happening.
	Maybe.
	Okay.
	I know he's been practicing this sketch.
	I mean, what you just played, which was in front of a live audience where they were clapping for him.
	That's what I said.
	That's pretty much what he said in front of a press conference, like, last week.
	Yeah, and I think that this is what he's going to do.
	And he's working.
	Yeah, he's working on his speech.
	I mean, let's...
	Well, I will mention him.
	I might as well mention Joe Biden's horrible speech.
	Well, I have one last one from Trump, and then I want you to take over with that.
	Not much.
	But I have some.
	Well, I like this one because I had noticed this too.
	But the more success that we've achieved, the more unhinged the radical left has become.
	Anarchists and violent mobs have rioted in our Democrat-run cities, attacking our police and tearing down statues.
	And as you know, I signed a clause.
	I got an old bill.
	You know, when they used to do powerful things, when they knew what the hell they were doing.
	I took an old bill and I gave a nice, beautiful, brand new executive order.
	It says very easily, can you imagine getting this today?
	You rip down a statue, a federal statue.
	You go to jail.
	Prison.
	They use the term prison.
	You go to prison for 10 years.
	Stop.
	And I remember there was a big march on Washington.
	They were coming in to knock a lot of statues down.
	They even had Thomas Jefferson planned.
	That was in their planning.
	No thanks.
	George Washington.
	They were even thinking about Lincoln.
	You know, Lincoln did sort of a pretty good job, right?
	But they were talking about anybody.
	I don't even know if they knew what they were doing.
	It was just wild and out of control.
	But I signed this 10 years in prison if you knock down a statue.
	We have people right now in jail that are going to trial, by the way.
	And that was from previous to signing.
	But if you remember, that was a big thing two and a half months ago.
	You know when I signed it?
	Two and a half months ago.
	Two and a half months ago I signed it.
	We haven't had a problem since.
	They say, you know, we want to knock down that statue, but you know, ten years, let's see, ten years, that's a lot of time.
	That's a lot of time.
	Which tells you that, you know, laws, if properly utilized, can stop all of this madness, and that's why we have to give our great police back their dignity and their power.
	You know...
	I hadn't really thought about it, but then I went back and looked, and it stopped, like, overnight, the statue crap.
	It stopped overnight.
	Yeah, it's pretty much stopped overnight.
	Of course, overnight, there's, like, in the last few days, Denver's broken out for some unknown reason.
	What, with violence?
	Yeah.
	Oh, no.
	Breaking windows at Quiznos and knocking down old women and just a mess.
	I mean, nobody's isolated.
	Why, as far as I can tell?
	I just started, so I don't have to look into it.
	Biden, meanwhile, of course, gave his speech, which The Democrats love that.
	I want to...
	I have a...
	Here's a rando...
	This is a rando, really good speech comment from one of the...
	From the...
	I forget the name of this podcast.
	The one with that Rick character.
	The guy who started the Lincoln Project.
	Oh, Rick Wilson.
	The woman on there.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Biden for one more second.
	Rick Wilson.
	Because it was really a good speech.
	And we were all really worried.
	Because Trump has been able to shape this narrative, even though it's not true.
	And I think that we should be talking about that a little more.
	It's like...
	What?
	She goes on and on and on.
	She's talking about Trump has made a narrative, or shaped, I'm sorry, shaped a narrative that Biden's a doddering old man who can't give a speech.
	And so then they put up this canned speech, which everyone in the Democrats' side seemed to like, even though who knows how many times it was recorded, because that was not a live speech.
	Yes, and I wanted to make a brief mention about that.
	Because I saw the transition shot.
	And that was my clue.
	And, you know, there's people, oh, he wasn't wearing the pin, wasn't wearing a watch.
	Yeah, he was.
	The only thing you could really tell that it wasn't the same, well, first let me tell you what the transition shot was.
	So when they're done, and then Kamala and Doug come on stage, and they're all waving at the screen, and they'd smartened up.
	They weren't duplicating the people anymore, so they had DNC logos where previously, as we discussed, they'd used duplicate people and were found out.
	And of course that caused exactly zero.
	Couldn't they get more people?
	Well, not if you're doing it on the QT and it's pre-recorded and you don't want too many people except maybe for key staffers and their families to be in that phony baloney Zoom audience.
	So, the transition from the tape, the taped version, to live...
	I just realized what you're going to say, because I think I saw this.
	All of a sudden, they had a shot of a full screen with every single box filled, but it wasn't a camera shot.
	It was just a transition shot, as we call it.
	They threw it in there.
	Yeah.
	And that was the transition.
	That was the transition, because they didn't have a screen...
	Whatever it was, it was a poor choice, and I caught it.
	And then I started looking like, okay, what's different?
	The only thing I could see, his tie during the speech was tied in a manner that the knot sloped upward to his left.
	And when he was outside with the fireworks, it was straight.
	That meant someone would have had to actually retie the knot.
	But ultimately, it doesn't matter.
	I mean, to me, it's like, hey, he had a stage outside.
	Why didn't you do it outside?
	It was cool with the cars with their blinkers on.
	It was a good vibe.
	It was well lit.
	It would have been dynamite.
	It looked fantastic.
	That would have been the place for him to do it.
	But he can't do it.
	I know.
	I think they had it there in case he felt like he was up for it.
	But there was just no way.
	And basically they gave him the speech from 2008.
	Read this.
	It's a 2008 speech.
	There's some guy that did a compilation.
	I have a clip of it.
	Oh, good.
	But I only have the first three.
	The guy sped up the whole thing and he ruined the clip.
	I tried to slow it down with both tempo and speed using some sound editing tools.
	But because he sped it up...
	The way he did, he took out so much information that if you tried to fix it, you couldn't do it.
	So I just played, I have this Biden 2008 comp clip showing the same things he said in 2008 that he said in this speech.
	I'm going to go get the old speech and write out the ones he said and write out the ones he said this time and put a comparison essay together because there's probably the whole speech was ripped off.
	This was his 2008 acceptance speech for being VP. Barack Obama has worked his way up.
	He is the great American story.
	Senator Kamala Harris, she's a powerful voice for this nation.
	Her story is the American story.
	That work is more than a paycheck.
	It's dignity.
	A job is about a lot more than a paycheck.
	It's about your dignity.
	It's respect.
	It's about whether or not you can look your child in the eye and say, we're going to be alright.
	It's about respect.
	It's about your place in the community.
	It's about being able to look your kid in the eye and say, honey, it's going to be okay.
	Yeah, that's really too bad.
	The works with the video doesn't work in audio that way.
	No, that's why I only did this first.
	But side by side, it's very similar.
	Very, very similar.
	Yeah, and it's the same.
	Hey, John, can you imagine how that sounded for people who listen at two times speed to this show?
	Oh, yeah.
	Good for them.
	So the thing was, it's obvious, I mean, that in 2008, everything he's asking for, he's asking for again 12 years later.
	It's pathetic.
	Yeah.
	But they go on with this.
	In fact, I read a just an article here from this is on Fox, by the way, is completely on Biden's camp for all practical purposes for the few hosts.
	And this is from an article by Laura Fink, talking about how the conservative women are given an open invitation to vote for Biden.
	And I'm going to just read the last three paragraphs of this article that's ran on Fox.
	In every video montage and speech, the courage of women took center stage, talking about the Democrat convention.
	From the story of the Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris's mother raising two daughters while doing cancer research to former Second Lady Jill Biden helping to raise two young children devastated by the loss of their own mother.
	It will take courage for conservative women to vote in opposition to not only their party, but very likely their husbands, their pastors and their families.
	Yeah, you can get that part of it.
	And then she finishes, Biden, and listen to this, Biden, in his powerful acceptance speech on Thursday night, perhaps said it best when he said that, quote, the job of a president is to represent all of us, not just our base of our party.
	And I just found that to be a...
	This is Fox.
	So, I mean, the mainstream media now has been completely taken over by the Democrats.
	Completely.
	Did Fox at least debunk the very fine people, which seemed to be another kind of pillar?
	No.
	But on Laura Ingraham's show, she had three guests.
	One was a black guy.
	Mm-hmm.
	She said, well, what do you think was wrong with the speech?
	What was, you know, she kind of thought it was a good speech herself.
	And then she got shut down for that.
	The black guy in the group, the one guy, he's the one who brought it up.
	He says, no, this is nonsense.
	This is debunking thing is.
	And meanwhile, of course, Scott Adams went off on it.
	And I do have Scott Adams reaction.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Scott Adams went nuts.
	Scott Adams was very, very upset.
	And he does that for effect, though.
	He knows exactly what he's doing.
	Well, he said that he was going to cuss a lot.
	I have two clips from Scott going off on Joe Biden for this...
	Because it's a personal thing with Scott, this...
	Because Scott Adams can't understand why he, the master manipulator, the master persuader, the actual hypnotist, can't hypnotize the country the way the country is about this one thing.
	That's what he's so pissed off about.
	He can't believe that he can't change it.
	He's very pissed off about it.
	So I have the clips, but I thought they were so rude and filled with cuss words that I bleeped them.
	Wow.
	So I went through the trouble of bleeping Scott Adams' curse-filled Biden rant.
	This is part one.
	So, Joe Biden tries to sell himself as the kind and caring guy, the man with character, and that he bases his whole f***ing campaign on the fine people hoax.
	Do I care that he's a lying piece of s***?
	Not really.
	I don't care if Biden is an a**hole.
	Politicians can be bad people.
	I don't really care that he's a lying piece of s***.
	But I do care that he painted a f***ing target on my back.
	This is personal.
	This isn't about politics anymore.
	This isn't about the tax rate.
	This isn't about any f***ing thing.
	Except this ahole, one of the worst fing people in the whole fing world, just painted another target on my f*ing.
	Now, it would be one thing if he had said it once.
	I'd say, well, you know, he tried it out and it didn't work.
	But making it the centerpiece of his whole f***ing campaign, that is going to make me vote for the first time.
	First time.
	Recently.
	I'm going to vote for self-defense.
	Because this f***ing guy can't be in charge.
	Not with the race hoax.
	Now people are going to say, what about Trump?
	What about the things he says that are not true?
	Well, yeah.
	He might say some things that don't pass the fact checkers.
	Maybe.
	But are they ever like this?
	This isn't like anything he's ever f***ing done.
	He told you he wanted to keep crime out of the country, and then that turned into he's a racist.
	Trying to protect your country is the f***ing job of the president.
	It's the opposite of what f*ing anhole Joe Biden is doing.
	He's not trying to protect the country.
	He's trying to tear it apart.
	The f***ing fine people hoax is not like other lies.
	It's the tentpole f***ing hoax that makes people who are stupid and believe the fake news think that it's all true.
	Because if they see this one's true, they say, well, it must be true that the other thing they're saying about it is true.
	It's the only one that they think they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears because it got edited so they don't hear the clarification.
	The BBC did debunk this, believe it or not.
	They had three...
	That's interesting.
	Well, it was just one...
	It gets debunked, but nobody pays attention to it, and Biden sure doesn't.
	Let's play part two of this...
	Therefore, it makes us look like...
	Joe Biden, if you're making your fellow citizens targets for violence and discrimination, and you're doing it f*ing intentionally, you are not worthy of being a f*ing citizen in this country, much less a leader.
	You have not qualified at the basic level of understanding the f*ing Joe Biden has introduced a new form of f*ing slavery.
	That's right.
	He just introduced a new form of f***ing slavery.
	Because this fine people hoax has the intention of, first of all, winning the election, duh, but also to bind black people, black voters, to the Democrat Party.
	If he does that, and it looks like he's succeeding, he has once again taken away all black political power.
	If you live in this country, And you're allegedly a f***ing citizen.
	Shouldn't you get some political power?
	How about that?
	Why do white people have political power?
	Why do they?
	How come black people can't have political power?
	Because you don't have any f***ing political power if you just vote Democrat.
	Because ahole Joe Biden told you the biggest fing lie in American history and you f**ing bought it.
	You f***ing believed it.
	Because you watch CNN and you think it's news.
	I'm a fan of Scott Adams.
	I find this very weak.
	Actually, borderline sad.
	Because he has no words.
	He just has to cuss over and over.
	I mean, I cuss a lot, but he has no words left.
	And I think he's just mad at himself that he hasn't been able to convince the masses.
	And I think he's new at this game.
	He really thinks that he has all that in a bag of chips that he can make stuff happen.
	It's just not true, Scott.
	Sorry.
	A couple of things.
	One, I agree with that, what you said.
	Two, I think it's actually more impactful to listen to it with the bleeps...
	I agree.
	...than the cussing.
	I agree.
	Well, I know why you said that.
	Well, yeah.
	I did it because I heard it and I said...
	I thought back to Jimmy Kimmel's, the unnecessary bleeping, where there isn't anything to bleep.
	And I realized that the bleeping itself is better than the cussing, although it's pretty funny what he says.
	But he has, I used to send him a GIF images.
	Every time he brought this, he'd bring this up in his Twitter feed, this hoax.
	And every time, he would fight against it.
	Every time he did, I sent a Twitter feed of somebody like shoveling sand into the ocean or somebody bailing out of water.
	And did he unfollow you?
	No.
	No, he never unfollowed me.
	I sent him a note.
	I said, if you're getting sick of this, let me know.
	But I keep writing him on it.
	So I got the biggest kick out of this particular...
	He's now lost control and he has to cuss like a maniac because this situation is just beyond his comprehension that this could happen.
	Meanwhile, unbleeped cussing took place during the United States Postal Service hearing, which had Postmaster General DeJoy on deck to answer questions, and Senator Carper was struggling with the Zoom setup.
	Thanks, Senator Portman.
	Again, I want to just remind our committee members, please keep your questioning as well as factor in the answer to try and keep in those seven minutes.
	Senator Carper?
	Is Senator Carper there?
	We'll move on to Senator Lankford.
	I think Senator Carper is there.
	I think he's trying to be able to get it all up right now.
	Senator Carper, can you unmute?
	The best part is they had video with it, too.
	It was like me with a technical breakdown.
	Oh yeah, you'd go sometime.
	It hasn't happened recently.
	No, I've matured.
	By the way, before we leave the Biden thing, I do have an ISO from the Scott Adams thing for the potential end of the show.
	Ah, okay.
	It's not Scott Adams.
	It says bleep bleep.
	Oh, there we go.
	There's your OC. You f*ing fing piece of s**.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you very much for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the 1K, who put the C in the 1K censorship beep.
	There you go, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, in the morning, all ships of the sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to our troll room on this wonderful Sunday.
	Let's have a troll count.
	Hands up, low, 20 below average, 1788, but you're all welcome.
	Good to see you at noagendastream.com.
	That's where everybody can listen to the show live.
	Many shows live.
	It actually starts early.
	Darren O'Neill does the rock and roll pre-show.
	And we have a live show, I think, almost every single day on NoAgendaStream.com.
	And, of course, the best podcast playing 24-7.
	You can go in there and you can troll around.
	That's why it's the troll room.
	That's the rule.
	Go troll.
	And make sure you troll Doug.
	Ask him for an invite to NoAgendaSocial.com, our federated podcast.
	Social network.
	It's free.
	You just got to get the invite from someone who's already there or from Doug in the troll room.
	And it's a great place to actually hang out and post something and have people reply to it and not just a whole bunch of outrage.
	No algos.
	NoagendaSocial.com.
	And we'd like to thank the artist for episode 1270.
	We called it the Twindemic.
	This was a great piece.
	This was Correct to Record.
	Who had listened very closely to the young Democrats on the DNC livestream who kept speaking of a Grand New Deal.
	And subsequently we invented the Grand New Deal pickle, jar of pickles, and it popped.
	It was beautiful.
	There were a number of people who did the Grand New Deal with a pickle, but this was the background.
	Everything was just dynamite.
	Yeah, it looked terrific.
	There was one Dutch lady, Sonja, I think on Twitter.
	And I don't know if she's listened to the show or she follows me and she's like, wow!
	I don't think those are available everywhere.
	She's a pickle aficionado, and she's posting pictures of her favorite pickles.
	I'm like, no, I assure you, this Green New Deal is available everywhere.
	Trust me, it's coming to your town soon.
	It was just cute.
	She really thought, I've got to get some of these at Whole Foods.
	Okay, cool.
	Correct a Record.
	Let's see, Correct a Record I think has had a couple, maybe, I don't know if...
	Yeah, I think he had one other one.
	I think he did the green or the orange.
	Well, maybe not.
	No, no, no.
	It was the Monopoly board, which we like.
	No, he's new.
	He's new.
	He's only done a few pieces.
	Well, Correct a Record has He did the Monopoly board that looked nice but was unusable.
	For us, yeah.
	He did the error message that I was complaining about looked too much like a real error message.
	So our feedback and our notes, our input has worked well.
	We have created a star.
	Artists don't mind.
	I mean, that's what they do.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is not like fine art we're dealing with that you can't be critical of because you don't understand it.
	This is kind of, basically, this is commercial art.
	And when you deal with commercial arts, you've got art directors and suits and CEOs and everybody else shining in.
	You have meetings.
	Oh, that's no good.
	You can't have that.
	It's not the right PMS color.
	This is exactly what it's like.
	It's no joke.
	Especially if the client gets involved.
	Oh man, that's managing by committee.
	It's a very bad idea.
	It doesn't pan out.
	We don't use that color combination under any circumstances.
	It's not exactly our color code for the logo.
	It's too close to the logo.
	It's too far away from the logo.
	The logo's not big enough.
	It's the wrong size.
	Where's our style book?
	Not here, ladies and gentlemen.
	Not at the best podcast in the universe where we deploy the value-for-value model, which means you get out of it what you put into it, and I think Correct the Record should get lots of karma and kudos for creating this art for us.
	And if you want to see more, if you want to submit...
	And maybe you should actually start a pickle company.
	There you go.
	You got your brand.
	You got everything good to go.
	You're already fooling people in Europe, so there's a possibility.
	Throw some of them cucumbers in.
	And we want to start by thanking Adam himself from Austin for donating.
	I don't know why he did this, but $666.
	What was the point of that?
	What are you talking about?
	The first person to the donors is Adam from Austin.
	That's you.
	That's a different Adam.
	Not me.
	Although the 666 is quite telling.
	It is my trademark.
	But no, no.
	Different Adam from Austin.
	With no comment at all.
	No, I couldn't find it under the word donation used in the subject line or from anyone named Adam.
	That's odd.
	Yeah, well...
	Hmm...
	And it's obviously has some kind of meaning.
	Well, we'll just take it at face value.
	And thank you very much.
	Until Adam from Austin writes in or says something, we will maybe do a read his note next show.
	All right.
	Well, thank you very much.
	You are executive producer of episode 1271.
	Excellent.
	Now I'm waiting for a jingle?
	Oh, yes, I'm so sorry.
	I, uh, in my haste this morning, I did not notice that.
	We'll do this one.
	Noose Bomb!
	Work for Noose Bomb!
	Is it Noose Bomb?
	Well, thank you, Mr.
	Noose Bomb, also known as Dwayne Mellon, son.
	Fuck me!
	There's no name there.
	That's why I couldn't know it.
	How could I know?
	Well, he's...
	Because there's only one Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest.
	Do you know how much I do every morning?
	The Grand Duke of the Pacific Northwest, Sir Dwayne Melanson.
	There you go.
	I apologize.
	I apologize.
	Oh, okay.
	Thanks.
	There's only five of them.
	$369.15 from Tigard, Oregon, or Tigard, or whatever you had.
	I... I don't know how you pronounce it.
	You should know by now how to pronounce that place.
	There's only five of them.
	There's only one.
	There's actually two of them.
	Alan Bean is from TyGuard now.
	Yes.
	ITM, gentlemen.
	Props for the valued analysis.
	I expect it to rise in value as we move toward the election, especially now that Biden plus Harris are official.
	Hashtag America slash hashtag target clip.
	And karma for all producers, please.
	We are here, hashtag America, near our hashtag target.
	Soon.
	I remember that one.
	You've got karma.
	I don't know.
	Yeah, I barely remember it.
	Chris Spradling in Healdsburg, California.
	33333.
	He's got a few jingles up front, and that's true, little girl again.
	Karma for everybody in the wildfires.
	Rain stick for the fires if you think it'll work.
	It'll cause more fires.
	Yeah.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this donation is to go toward the damehood of my hotter than the California wildfires wife, Amy.
	After hitting her in the mouth over a year ago, she has become an avid listener of the No Agenda and MoFax.
	Another convert.
	Today, August 23rd, is her birthday, and all she wanted was to be an executive producer.
	Wow.
	We need more women like that.
	I know it will brighten her day despite the yellow smoky skies and living one zone away from mandatory evacuation.
	She's a real keeper.
	There you go.
	And the light of my life.
	Happy birthday, Amy.
	Thanks to both of you, we derive a lot of value from your work.
	And as you say, couples with no agenda together stay together.
	I would like to request a karma and a consideration for a rain stick shake to help out everybody dealing with the wildfires.
	Also, please put her on the birthday list.
	She's on the list.
	You have other jingles too.
	Yes.
	Are we not doing this rain stick?
	I mean, you're saying no stick.
	If we get rain in California in the summer like this, we get lightning strikes.
	Lightning strikes cause these fires.
	Yes.
	So how is that a positive thing?
	I'm just asking.
	I'm not local to the area.
	No, I say no.
	No.
	Okay.
	Let the fires be...
	Let it burn!
	John C. DeVore!
	No, let them be put out without being started over.
	That's true.
	You've got karma.
	Lightning, no good.
	Not in California, anyway.
	Um...
	Edward Siemens in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, $333.
	And I don't have a note from him, but if you read the next note, I'll see if I can find one.
	Okay, that's Josh Magnuson and another donor from Austin, 233.01.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	This is my first donation.
	It is long overdue.
	I've been an avid listener since December when I was hit in the mouth by my co-worker, Ross Reynolds Brewery Ambassador.
	I'd like to give a big thank you to him for introducing me to the show and a big thank you to you two for keeping my amygdala the correct size.
	Yes.
	You're welcome.
	I'd also like to take this opportunity to wish my smoking hot lady, Sammy Weeks, a happy 33-plus first birthday, so 34th, I guess.
	Sunday, August 23rd.
	Today, I've tried to hit her in the mouth several times, but she really knows how to duck and dodge.
	She loves to listen to the show with me or when we're in the car together, but I still can't get her to listen on her own yet.
	I know.
	For some women, it feels dirty, I've heard.
	Keep up the great work, guys.
	Josh Magnuson.
	Oh, and John, stay safe.
	Thank you very much, Josh.
	Yes, I will.
	And no note found.
	Nobody with that last name has written in, at least to my email.
	Okay.
	I looked.
	I don't have it either.
	Lisa in Foxboro, Massachusetts, comes in at $225.21.
	And she says, today I donated for the first time to your No Agenda podcast.
	The amount of 225-21 is a celebration of the due date of my first grandchild.
	I was hit in the mouth by a friend several months ago and love your podcast.
	It has kept me sane, entertained, and informed throughout this crazy time.
	Keep up the good work!
	Lynch 419 or Lisa in Foxboro.
	I'm going to give her and all other expectant moms, I'm going to give you a little bit of human resource delivery karma.
	You've got karma.
	You know, the hospitals and stuff.
	Slame.
	Slame.
	Lootsage.org is next on the list.
	Have you seen this?
	No.
	$202.02.
	I'll read it.
	Go to the website.
	This is quite funny.
	Okay.
	We are eternally grateful for your incredibly insightful and relevant media deconstruction that shines a light on the darkness in our world and gives us a much needed comedic relief to boot.
	LootSafe.org has created a new platform to allow those who are doing the work a way to fully express their commitment to the mantra of people over poverty being used to justify looting and rioting.
	The next Next time you hear Noodle Boy or Girl say we shouldn't condemn looting or rioting, refer them to LootSafe.org to offer them a convenient way to fight for the cause.
	If silence is violence, offering up your property for looters is the act of screaming out in the name of social justice.
	Much love to the entire No Agenda community.
	The best podcast tribe in the universe.
	We request an It's True double shot and karma for Sir Scott Williams and Alicia's future human resource.
	Did you look at the website?
	It's hilarious.
	There you go.
	It is pretty funny.
	And I would recommend people check it out.
	Karma.
	I love it.
	Yeah, you can give up your house.
	It's like you can really be a part of the movement by letting people loot your house.
	Or office.
	Yeah, it's a part of reparations.
	Yes, it actually is.
	It's LootSafe.
	LootSafe.org.
	All right, here we got another missing note from Gary Ferris.
	I will go back.
	You go look for that, and I'll move on to Kyle Romagus, Romagus, R-O-M-A-G-U-S, Romagus, from Texas, Splendora, Texas.
	First off, I want to thank you for doing the work and continuously providing.
	He gave us $200, Associate Executive Producer.
	For continuously providing us lucky bastards with the best podcast in the universe.
	Long time listener, and I haven't donated in a while, so I do humbly request a de-douching for being such a damn freedom.
	You've been de-douched.
	Along with the donation, I'd like to share something troubling with you guys.
	As you may know, on August 19th, Facebook banned 900 pages and groups...
	And 1,500 ads that were categorized as QAnon conspiracy pages.
	And to hear MSNBC tell everyone involved that these pages are involved with a right-wing conspiracy that accuses Democrats and anyone who has eaten a slice of pizza that they are all in a cabal that abuses children.
	I'm not here to defend QAnon at all, but I'm here to tell you that Facebook also banned hundreds of patriot groups and so-called militias at the same time and are lumping those bans all in together and that King Zuck can put off that he is the savior of truth while also erasing the social media existence of conservative groups.
	And believe it or not, this is not the best part.
	Okay.
	I'm a fire instructor and teaching with a training group called Oath Keepers.
	I can see the trouble coming down Broadway.
	Our goal is to provide aggressive fire training and to promote the mindset that firefighters must keep their oath and made to the citizens that states that we will put them first and do everything in our power to provide them with the level of service that we would want our families to have showing up at an emergency.
	And believe it or not, there is a push in the fire service to make them second, and we are constantly fighting against it, but that's a story for another donation letter.
	Okay, so the Oath Keepers group got banned.
	I would like, first of all, thank you for your support, Kyle.
	Get the F off of Facebook and take all your Oath Keepers with you.
	This is stupid.
	Why are you complaining?
	You know that this is going to happen.
	Facebook is no good if you actually want to communicate.
	It's the messaging system for the elites, for the upper class.
	They don't care about you.
	And they have their own fire department.
	I feel very bad, and I understand.
	Also, Oath Keepers, you know what's going to happen.
	Go to noagendasocial.com.
	Start your own Mastodon.
	And Federate.
	You can do it.
	Federate!
	Federate!
	I'm going to give you big karma for you guys.
	You've got karma.
	Get off Facebook!
	Gary Fares, F-P-H-A-R-E-S, has no note by that name.
	Spring Valley, California gave us $201 when he became an associate executive producer.
	Yes.
	But again, there's nothing to say.
	Meanwhile, Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm comes in with $200 and she says, August 25th will be my 70th birthday.
	Hey now!
	I will be regressed back to the 6th grade middle school.
	Due to school closings and COVID, I will be overseeing my granddaughter's schooling for several months.
	That's what she's referring to.
	She's not going to go to the 6th grade.
	May I please have whatever karma that will help me with my old brain and new teachings and for everyone...
	And for everyone else who needs it, thanks, Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm.
	Well, Dame Zelda, I consider your granddaughter to be one lucky human resource.
	She will probably learn more from you in a few months than everything she's learned up to date.
	I know, because you are Dame Zelda.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Karma.
	All right.
	That's it?
	There is something screwy here.
	Well, we do have a few notes that need to be read because we have some knightings from lower-level donors.
	Didn't come in at associate.
	Oh, we have the Ron Shull note for sure.
	Okay.
	Do you have that one handy?
	Because there's something else here.
	That's the one that's on the email.
	I'm not open.
	I was doing too many searches, so I can go back and get it.
	Well, why don't you do that, and I'll read this from Vasilios.
	Actually, I have printed it out.
	For my convenience.
	Pop money donations.
	He sent in some pop money.
	He got knighted.
	Pop money donations are always credited.
	When I see them, this is my note to him.
	I was knighted in episode 720, Sir Deep Thought, protectorate of the backyard farm.
	My 84 pop money was not credited to the show.
	I'm going to print out page 2 of this note.
	Alright.
	Do yours and I'll go dig this one up.
	I'm just as bad, believe me.
	This is from Vasilios Plangedes in Annapolis, Maryland.
	I'm messaging you to claim my knighthood.
	May I have the title of Sir Vasilios, Knight of the Soft and Whiny Annapolis.
	Annapolis.
	Annapolitan.
	Annapolitans.
	Neapolitans?
	No, he's from Annapolis, but he wants Annapolitans.
	Close enough.
	Yeah.
	And he wants mint tulips and manga at the round table.
	May I also request some jingles from my beautiful, sweet, smart, and caring girlfriend.
	Make good for a previous associate executive producership where the jingles were not read!
	Oh my gosh!
	She listens to the podcast now, and couples that know agenda together indeed stay together.
	So, Noodle Gone, Don't Eat Me Bo Jiden, oh my goodness, I didn't have any of these ready because I didn't know...
	And what else does he say here?
	Thank you both for introducing me to some fantastic podcasts.
	Question for John.
	When, oh, John, will you star on Who Are These Podcasts with that a-hole hot Carla?
	It's been two months since the initial request, and I'm eagerly awaiting to hear the episode.
	If you haven't yet, go listen to MoFax.
	Okay, thanks.
	Very informative, insightful.
	And the podcast, Creep Off.
	Trust me, it's worth it.
	So, would you have an answer for...
	I do have an answer.
	I'm going to do that show as soon as I find a couple of podcasts I can talk about, because the show is about other podcasts.
	Right.
	And I haven't developed my material.
	I'm not going on there just as an ad-lib or talking about myself.
	I'm going to go in there like one of the guys complaining or talking or discussing one of the other podcasts.
	And I'm going to have at least two of them under my belt that I can discuss intelligently.
	So it's going to be a while.
	But it will happen.
	It's going to be a while because you can't find anything that's any good?
	It's not a matter of what's good.
	It's a matter of what's discussable.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	Because finding podcasts that are no good, I mean, just go to Apple Podcasts and throw a dart.
	Needle drop.
	All right.
	Well, we'll keep everybody updated on that.
	Stay safe.
	Soon to be Sir Vasilios.
	Shout out to the blue team.
	Y'all are sweaty nerds.
	Looking forward to bringing my wonderful lady to the round table.
	You betcha.
	By the way, I also have to do Nick the Rat, so that's coming up.
	Yeah.
	He had some jingles here, so...
	I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	Don't eat me, Bojartin.
	You're scary.
	So scary.
	Aw, man.
	That's true.
	You've got karma.
	So I've got the note from Shull.
	Mm-hmm.
	ITM, gentlemen, this is...
	Ronald Schull, who came in with $84 in pop money, and got knighted, but wasn't credited for his money, apparently, last show.
	I don't know how he got knighted, to be honest about it, but he did.
	He did get knighted, or he didn't get knighted?
	He did get knighted.
	Okay.
	Uh...
	But this is a note that we were supposed to read for his knighting.
	Yeah, he did get knighted.
	And he sent a later note saying, I got knighted, but you didn't do anything else.
	You didn't do anything.
	So he says, my random pop money and PayPal donation, this is pre-knighting, have done it.
	I finished my knighthood off and answered the life, universe, and everything.
	There's $42 for each of you.
	I have chosen to wait until I reach my knighthood to ask for a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	As a redneck suburban farmer with my gardeners, orchards, chickens, ducks, and other horticulture, I feel my knight name should reflect passion.
	So knight me, sir, deep thought, protector of the backyard farm.
	And I believe that we did that.
	Yes, I'm pretty sure we did.
	Are you sure?
	I don't want to mess it up again.
	I'm pretty sure.
	He says we did.
	But the one thing we didn't get for him, which maybe we can do it this time, because he's going to be at the round table, as all the knights are.
	If I'm going to request a one-time special for the roundtable, Breves, B-R-E-V-E-S, I have no idea what that is.
	Okay.
	And some red-veined Borneo, and I have no idea what that is.
	It's probably lewd.
	No, I think it's a chicken, type of chicken, maybe.
	Lewd.
	Come on, I know our people.
	I think it's a type of chicken, and red vein borneo sounds like a chicken, too.
	It sounds like chicken.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So if you put that at the round table, I think that would suffice.
	Okay, I've got that.
	And he'll be back with another note complaining about something else because that's what everyone does when they get into the vortex.
	Yes, and such as a note from Sir Gomberg who was just so incensed that we had knighted him and had wished his fiancée a happy birthday, but we missed his jingles again and he needs to hear them.
	So here they are.
	I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
	You might die.
	Boogity, boogity, boogity, amen!
	I've been watching you.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Come on, where was I?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Hey, listen, I love you back.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs.
	You've got karma.
	I wanted a Trump job, so there you go.
	Okay, I think we've taken care of all the business now.
	Everyone's got everything they need.
	I'm happy.
	We hope.
	It's so...
	I like it when people are really...
	They've really got the administration done, you know?
	Like we're some well-oiled machine with a staff of thousands.
	I don't understand how you guys can screw that up.
	Exactly.
	How could you screw it up with emails going at different addresses, PayPals with different email addresses?
	And leaving stuff off and not having your own name on the email.
	Your last name.
	But we love you.
	You're going to send an email that's got a note on it for one of the donations.
	Make sure that the email address has your name.
	You can put that in there.
	It's very easy to do.
	It helps.
	As opposed to, you know, whatever it is.
	I do have a couple more Biden speech.
	Well, you know, typically we close the segment.
	Oh, I forgot.
	There's a bunch of things to do.
	Business.
	Yeah, you know, all the stuff that I do.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm really trying to make it sound beautiful and good.
	Thank you, everybody.
	Our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1,271 of No Agenda.
	It's value for value, so this is why we have...
	It's crazy, and it's loosey-goosey, and it's not a set system, you know, because we're not paying Patreon to take your money away from the show.
	No, we do it ourselves, and we do the best we can.
	can.
	That's why I have crazy amounts and donation notes.
	And it's the mess, but it's our mess and we love it.
	And without it, it would not be the best podcast in the universe because it's produced by us, but certainly by you.
	And these executive and associate executive producers deserve all that real credit they're getting, which they can use anywhere.
	And please consider us for the second Thursday show of the week.
	Go to Dvorak.org And just remember, all you have to say to fit in the club is build back Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What up?
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, sleep.
	All right.
	So I have to ask Adam.
	Okay.
	With an associated jingle, or is it just...
	No.
	No, this is just a quickie.
	Okay.
	So Biden had a quirk ending his speech.
	I think he had to live something, personally.
	I want you to listen to...
	This is the end of the Biden speech.
	This is Biden quirk ending to speech.
	Clip one.
	As love and hope and light join in the battle for the soul of the nation...
	And this is a battle we will win and we'll do it together.
	I promise you.
	Thank you and may God bless you.
	All presidents say God bless America.
	Yes.
	God bless the United States.
	I know what he said.
	Sometimes the United States of America.
	Yes, I know what he said.
	No, he didn't say that.
	No, I know what he said.
	I know what he said.
	I remember.
	Because I caught it too.
	That's what I'm saying.
	I remember what he said.
	Yeah, but to ask Adam was, what do they normally say?
	Oh, okay.
	God bless the United States of America.
	What did Joe say?
	Survey says...
	Thank you, and may God bless you, and may God protect our troops.
	It was very odd.
	I think he just messed it up.
	I think he did, too.
	I feel the same way.
	I think it was on the speech, and for some reason, he flubbed it.
	Yeah.
	That was probably on Take 30, I'm guessing.
	They just gave up.
	There was something else he said.
	He had a real blooper in there where he said...
	I mean, it's been sent to me by several...
	And I think I heard it.
	He said, there's nothing we can do or can't do that's impossible.
	He used can instead of can't.
	And it was a nonsense...
	The whole thing is ridiculous.
	Nothing he said meant anything.
	Except good vibes and hope and love.
	What else did he have in there?
	One thing about China.
	China.
	Quietly, something about China.
	China.
	Nothing about what's really going on.
	And really no promises of any policy.
	Oh, no, that's not true.
	Mandate the mask.
	That was in there.
	And do the testing right, of course.
	It was very disappointing.
	It's just, you know...
	No.
	And it makes the mainstream media reporting on it look very stupid.
	Well, I'm not getting the praise.
	I did get a funny little back and forth.
	I was listening to a lot of podcasts, working on my eventual appearance on the other show.
	Yes.
	And so Michael Moore's got a podcast.
	Yes, we've played some of it.
	Yeah, well, here's...
	He gave me a tip in this podcast to go find something else, and I found the clips.
	This is Michael Moore on Warren on Colbert.
	By the way, this is just evidence of the kind of weird stuff that both of us do to get to our clips.
	And then Elizabeth Warren, the other night, I think at the end of the second night, was on with Colbert.
	And Colbert said to him, let me just ask you, because, you know, you've been the one...
	You fought Wall Street for us.
	So...
	How do you feel about the fact that, here he quoted the Times, how thrilled Wall Street is that Joe Biden is the candidate, how excited they are about the Biden presidency.
	What's your answer to that?
	And then she pivoted to answering something else, and he came back to it.
	He goes, no, I've got to ask you again, you know.
	Are you as excited as Wall Street is about the Biden campaign?
	And she pivoted.
	He asked it a third time.
	And then he finally had to say, I see I'm not going to get an answer.
	That's not quite how it went, but it was a colorful kind of analysis.
	It's actually better to listen to the real Colbert Warren clips.
	And this is how that actually went.
	Before we go on to the Senate and Mitch McConnell in the Post Office, I want to ask you about Joe Biden and big business, because big business is afraid of you.
	My friends who are bankers are afraid of you, but Wall Street's fine with Joe Biden.
	Are you fine with Wall Street being fine with Joe Biden?
	Look, how could anybody be afraid of me?
	All I want is everyone to follow the rules.
	Come on!
	That's what they're most afraid of.
	We got 77 days.
	77 days.
	We're going to get Joe Biden elected.
	Okay, but you're cool with that, Joe, that, like, big Hollywood, tech, Wall Street, they're fine with Joe Biden.
	No problems there.
	77 days.
	I don't think she's hearing my mic.
	I don't think she's hearing my question.
	Have me back tomorrow, and I'll tell you 76 days.
	76 days.
	What an a-hole, Warren.
	Hell yeah.
	What is...
	That is...
	What has she got?
	Some secret?
	Some secret strategy?
	You're going to blow us away with something, Liz?
	Something new we don't know about?
	Oh, yeah.
	I thought that was a pathetic...
	I think it apparently bothered Michael Moore, too.
	Well, there's a lot of problems with these two Democratic candidates.
	The Millennials, the Millennial girls are, it's a strife.
	Kamala Harris is a real problem.
	They can't get over her.
	They don't really like her.
	Of course, now they don't notice that she's a woman of color.
	No, no, she's no good.
	But we have to.
	We have to just accept her to get Joe because otherwise there are two steps removed from getting Trump out by voting for Kamala.
	Meanwhile, the leftist economists are also kind of puzzled.
	He calls himself a Marxian economist, Professor Richard Wolff.
	And he actually used to work with Kamala's dad, which you don't hear too much about with good reason.
	I worked for a while with the father of Kamala Harris.
	He's an economist like me, and he's a left-wing economist like me.
	And this is his daughter.
	And you know the old saying that the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree?
	Well, that's wrong.
	The acorn can fall very far.
	A bird can pick it up and take it miles away.
	And here we have, therefore, a person who could have absorbed By the way, one of the sharpest, finest economists I've ever worked with, Donald Harris, her father.
	All attention goes to her mother.
	Very careful.
	The bird that took the acorn away, that gets the attention, not the tree that produced it.
	Together with her mother, obviously, produced the child.
	But my point is, she left all of that and moved into the establishment center.
	That's what her career led her to do.
	But that brings her now into a situation completely different from what we've had before, requiring dramatic, radical change.
	And here's the woman, the only kind of new face among all of these old politicians.
	Here's a younger new face.
	And what has she excelled in?
	Building a career on being acceptable to the very same old faces that run American politics.
	It is a tragic kind of behavior which strikes me.
	This strikes me as an election that is an exercise in denial in a society that wants to believe not the crisis it's in, but the normalcy it wish it were in.
	and it's going to go through a political theater that celebrates a normalcy that is a fantasy.
	Yes.
	So no one really likes her?
	There's a lot of pandering towards her, but there's not a lot of love that I can find.
	Yeah, it's weird.
	This is going to be very strange.
	I know how she's going to warm up things.
	The way she always does it.
	Fuck Willie Brown?
	Yes, Scott.
	Bombing, man.
	Let's talk about the show for a second, the show itself.
	The final night.
	What did you think?
	Of the Democrat convention?
	Yeah, the final.
	I mean, we all watched that television moment.
	It was terrible.
	It was terrible.
	It was amateur.
	Somebody described it as an endless, you know, like binge-watching a Marriott ad.
	It's the transitions, man.
	It's like the transitions were so slow.
	And who do they have now?
	Julia Louis-Dreyfus trying to do some schtick?
	Uh-oh.
	But I did bring the clip in of the woman from the Youth Council, the Youth Caucus of the Democratic National Committee.
	Oh, the Grand New Deal?
	Grand New Deal lady?
	No, that was another one.
	The Grand New Deal lady.
	But the other one says socialism.
	We've got to get socialism.
	We've got to end capitalism.
	That's on this clip?
	No.
	No, this one's better.
	Oh?
	This one is the Transgender Caucus.
	And they're talking about, well, I don't even know how to, the best person to play this clip is going to be Tucker Carlson.
	Okay.
	And everything he says is correct, and then they throw it to this woman who's a Democrat.
	This was on the air.
	It was only on, like, C-SPAN and PBS that played this part of the convention.
	But this was on the air, and here it goes.
	Now, we've showed you in previous nights this week some of the DNC's platform.
	They want to get rid of a lot of the country's prisons, for example.
	They like to do away with bail for accused criminals.
	But that's just a start, just a little taste, a little appetizer before the main course.
	So for more, we're going to go to someone now called J. Mai.
	You should know that J. Mai's preferred pronouns are they, them.
	According to their biography at Wake Forest University, J. Mai is, quote, a black Vietnamese transgender non-binary gender transcendent mermaid queen king currently living out their ever-evolving truths in Winston-Salem, end quote.
	Got it?
	Okay, now listen to J. Mai.
	Why can't folks imagine a world without the cops?
	Why can't folks imagine a world without prisons?
	Why can't people expand their imaginations to include community care, to include an abolitionist future?
	I'm talking about, like, for real, for real abolition, not just watered-down DNC version of abolition.
	We're talking about abolishing the police.
	We're talking about abolishing ICE. We're talking about abolishing prisons.
	And be sure to warn your daughters.
	No more field hockey scholarships to Bowdoin for them.
	No.
	There are boys on the field.
	Democrats want biological men to compete with girls in sports.
	Most parents of girls think that's nuts because it is and terrible for girls because obviously.
	Oh, Tucker Carlson, she's transphobic!
	Well, he brought about three people on, including another woman that went on about sports and how, I mean, if they say they're a girl, they should compete with the girls.
	Yeah, he's transphobic, John.
	He's transphobic.
	We all know it.
	He's transphobic.
	Now, I want to say, talking about girls competing with girls and guys in between, I do have to play this...
	Wait, are you going away from the convention?
	No.
	No.
	Okay.
	Well, yeah.
	No.
	I'm with Biden, though.
	All right.
	I just have to play this because there's a group called the Republicans Who Hate Trump or something like that.
	It's another group.
	And so they brought this.
	You tell me if this is a guy or a girl.
	I think it's just some ballist guy who's a phony.
	And this ballist guy is going to vote for Biden.
	Hello, my name is Mike.
	I'm from St.
	Louis, Missouri.
	And in 2016, I voted for Donald Trump.
	And that hurts me to say that today.
	As I sit here, COVID-19 rages on.
	170,000 Americans are dead.
	The economy is in the toilet.
	Millions are out of work.
	And that's the main reason why I'll be voting for Joe Biden in November.
	Where was this on?
	Where did this guy come from?
	What is this?
	It's on Twitter.
	It's on Twitter.
	You're just pulling stuff from Twitter now?
	Well, when it's that, yeah.
	Okay.
	Hold on, because now that you're going to play that, check this out.
	This was on MSNBC, and I think that, I'll just say it right now, Trump is going to get re-elected, and I think he'll be by a huge margin.
	And there's a number of reasons for it.
	One is, it's such a repeat.
	Everything is...
	I think the Democrats can't even...
	They can't even help themselves, not just doing a repeat.
	And with Democrats, I say, including all of the mainstream media, all of it, and Fox, who's had the balls to sit there and say, well, the mainstream does this.
	You guys are the number one cable news network.
	You're the mainstream.
	Please.
	But MSNBC has really been working overtime.
	Even Fox won't stoop to this level.
	In making sure black Americans don't ever say they like Trump.
	And if you look, if you go to Twitter, you'll see a lot of, and I'm on like gray Twitter with the show I do with Moe, so I don't quite get black Twitter from the algos, but I get gray Twitter.
	And I see it.
	Black men will either pull Trump all the way over because they're going to vote for him, or probably Kanye will take enough away.
	I think the Democrat Party has no idea how massive, and I've just been studying this for a year, black men in particular, how massive this movement really is.
	And I give props to, I think it's State Representative Vernon Jones.
	I don't forget where he's from.
	He's a Democrat.
	And he's on with one of these douchebags from MSNBC, one of those guys during the day.
	In this case, it's important to note they're both African American because it does come up in the conversation.
	And it's actually about that.
	You are an elected Democrat there in the state of Georgia, as I understand it.
	Georgia.
	You're supporting the Republican president's re-election bid.
	How is that going over in your district?
	Well, obviously, my district knows about me.
	I've served as county executive.
	I've run a government.
	I've done things to move my county forward and the people, serve them well.
	Solid record of accomplishments.
	But this is not about politics.
	This is about putting your country before politics, putting your country before the party.
	President Trump is right on target with results.
	Prior to the pandemic, he had the best, and you know it, the best economy that we've had going back years and years and years.
	The Democratic Party chose to put...
	An economy that even many on the right have acknowledged that he inherited from the previous administration.
	Well, we're not doing that.
	Now, listen to what this guy does.
	He said, but we're not doing that.
	We're not doing that.
	So he does it.
	He shills for the Democrats on the air and then he says, but we're not going to do this.
	We're not going to do that.
	He inherited from the previous administration.
	Well, that's fake news.
	Well, we're not doing that.
	We're not doing that.
	If you look at the unemployment among African Americans during his years, I don't want to get caught into politics just because I'm a Democrat.
	Our party feels, though, that...
	I like to traffic in facts, and much of what you just said is totally false.
	But I do want to...
	No, no, Representative Jones, this is my show.
	I'll ask questions.
	This is where the guy...
	I mean, any journalist or interviewer Shit, man, on MTV, you wouldn't even go, hey, this is my show.
	I ask the questions.
	You have to do what I say.
	I like to traffic in facts, and much of what you just said is partly false.
	But I do want to, this is, no, no, Representative Jones, this is my show.
	I'll ask questions.
	Give me a second.
	Well, you had me on your show, so let me explain.
	Don't cut.
	I'm not cutting you off, but I do want to...
	Are you a paid campaign surrogate?
	So this was...
	He's struggling.
	You can hear he doesn't know what to say.
	And then all of a sudden they go...
	I'm not cutting you off, but I do want to...
	Are you a paid campaign surrogate?
	Are you being compensated by...
	Let me be clear.
	You get paid to shape a liberal narrative.
	You get paid to attack this president.
	I don't get a dime for this president.
	I don't get a dime from the campaign.
	Everything I've done has been me and based on my principles.
	And see, that's the problem.
	When an African-American that's elected...
	Sir, I did not raise your laces now.
	Let me finish.
	Let me finish.
	You're not going to imply that I asked that question because you're black.
	So don't ask me that.
	You only ask me that because I don't fit your narrative.
	No, this president never offered me anything.
	I don't want anything from this president.
	It's what I can do for my country.
	And you need to accept that many other African Americans and others support this president because of his policies.
	And to insult me to say, am I getting paid?
	That is disgraceful.
	I have asked the same question of Democrats who come on.
	And their narrative to keep blacks silent who happen to support this president.
	Why can't I be like white liberals or other whites?
	There you go.
	So I have to get paid.
	Do you ask Democrats?
	Do they get paid?
	I just said, I just said, I just asked, I just said to you.
	They are just a bunch of racists at MSNBC. Proof positive.
	And I think that stuff like this...
	By the way, what an interesting guy to talk to.
	Wow, that's really interesting.
	You know, this must be very difficult.
	I mean, so many questions he could have asked, but no.
	No.
	You can't.
	You just can't do it.
	You're not allowed to be pro-Trump with any melanin in your skin.
	Because that's what they're looking at.
	It's almost as un-American as what they're doing here in Austin with changing the...
	Well, MSNBC is an outlet for the Democratic Party.
	They're not going to put up with this guy, letting this guy talk at all.
	Yeah, but then they shouldn't let him on.
	What kind of idiots are they?
	Well, they made a mistake.
	They're busy.
	I think they weren't.
	No, no.
	Not true.
	They invite the guy on.
	They know what he's doing.
	This guy's job was to shame him.
	That's why the black man is pulled out to shame the other black man.
	It's disgusting what they're doing.
	That's what's happening.
	And then just back to the TV show, which was, oh, so expertly directed by Emmy Award winner from his living room.
	In his underwear.
	It sucked balls, okay?
	Transitions were slow.
	Stuff was started at the wrong moment.
	And he wins an Emmy?
	Oh, what?
	Two.
	Two Emmys.
	And a Nobel Peace Prize.
	Yeah.
	And then just as bad, well, actually worse than Kerry Washington the previous night, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I think is a great comedic actress.
	I've never seen her stand-up.
	If this was an example of it, she needs Seinfeld back.
	I like the fact, well, she was good in Veep.
	I like the fact that they put her as a representative of the Democratic Party.
	She is a bona fide billionaire.
	Yep.
	She inherited money from the Dreyfus family.
	Huge family of rich people in Europe.
	And so this is a billionaire, you know, introducing all these guests in Joe Biden.
	I mean, it's ludicrous.
	And then she made what she thought was a funny joke.
	And I said, I liked her on Veeper.
	She's a good comedic actress.
	She's not a television host.
	And she clearly can't do any kind of stand-up, which you shouldn't do without an audience.
	But she did this, trying to, I guess, make a joke about the fact that people have mispronounced Kamala as Kamala.
	And I'm sure it's the president.
	Oh, what a bonehead.
	So she said this.
	Joe Biden shares John Lewis's belief that every vote matters.
	Personally, I plan to follow the example of six current cabinet members, Vice President Puntz and President Trump himself, and vote by mail.
	Which is, A, not very funny.
	It's like, why?
	Because there was no setup to the joke.
	There was no way to really understand.
	I understood what she was doing.
	How did she even get there?
	Well, the problem with what she said is that apparently poons in Australia is slang.
	Like, we would say faggot.
	It's on that level.
	Really?
	Yeah, apparently.
	Whoops.
	Wow.
	Fact check.
	Someone should have fact checked it.
	And then I... You know, as part of this, kind of in the backdrop, we had this Steve Bannon arrest.
	Yeah, you know, I've been looking into it on and off, and I can't get any good clips.
	I mean, I got clips.
	The website's open.
	You can listen to the guy who did this stupid wall project, and...
	Bannon, I don't even know what his connection to it is.
	And I don't even know what the fraud is.
	I haven't seen the indictment.
	It just seems sketchy.
	Well, I have.
	It's not sketchy.
	If this indictment holds up in court, which I think it will, this is one of these problems I have with non-profits.
	And I see it all...
	Black Lives Matter does a version of this, where they're non-profit, but they're really connected to another non-profit.
	The money is transferred.
	Transparency gets lost.
	You don't know what's happening.
	Half of the money is going to Act Blue, the Democrat Party.
	But all these little non-profits and how they interconnect and are shoving money around, I find despicable.
	And Bannon did exactly the same thing.
	And I can explain it in pretty simple terms.
	So Brian Colfage, this was the guy, I think he has...
	He lost three of his limbs in Iraq or Afghanistan.
	He started this, we're going to build the wall.
	And he'd raised $17 million, and it was getting a little bit out of control.
	It was just a GoFundMe, I think, and he had nothing set up.
	So in swoops, Stephen Bannon with Bondolado and Timothy Shea, I don't know who they are, And they say, okay, we're going to set it all up, and they set up a non-profit for We Build the Wall, and they raised another $3 million, so $20 million.
	Then something changed, and this is all in the indictment.
	It's about nine pages.
	It's very interesting.
	Then something changed with where they wanted to build the wall, and they couldn't just give the money to the government.
	If you recall, there were a couple stories about that.
	So they said, well, we're going to build it privately.
	But because of the way the nonprofit was set up, they had to start a new nonprofit, and everyone who had committed money of the $20 million had to opt in to have that money transferred to the new nonprofit with a different structure and with a different mission.
	Apparently, they got almost everybody to opt in, and there was an additional $5 million they raised.
	But everything was continuously under the promise that Colfage, that's the vet, would not take, quote, a penny in salary or compensation that 100% of the funds raised will be used for the execution of our mission and purpose.
	And they continued to, excuse me, And they continue to say that no one will be paid, no one will be paid, specifically not the guy who started it.
	So they get that money over, and a lot of the people who had already donated, I think this is where this lawsuit comes from, they were still very concerned that, you know, are you sure, you're very sure that that's not going to happen?
	So then text messages are somehow intercepted, and this is what really set it off.
	And it turns out that they had made an agreement with Colfage, and he was promised $100,000 up front and $20,000 a month.
	And they couldn't give it from the new nonprofit they set up.
	So what do they do?
	They set up another non-profit which then invoiced a consultancy which wrote a 1099 to Colfage to funnel the money from the non-profit through Bannon's non-profit to the consultancy to a 1099 payment.
	So they lied, and they were cavalier, and I despise these kinds of things.
	And Bannon, who is now on his own podcast, saying, oh man, they're trying to make an example of you.
	F you, Bannon.
	You're a slimy, slimy creep.
	That's really low, and he's just, he thinks he knows.
	This is a narcissist, this guy.
	I really soured on him after reading this.
	What a horrible thing to do.
	Well, that summarizes it.
	Sorry I asked.
	Are you really?
	Yeah, Ben has always been, seems like a douchebag.
	I mean, what is the way he dresses and his swarmy look and the greasy hair?
	I mean, the whole thing is just like an image.
	That doesn't bother me.
	Some of the most successful people I know, I don't care about that.
	But this is a slimy move.
	Slimy.
	And then just to lie about it and say, hey man, we had to hook the guy up.
	We didn't do it right.
	We should have thought about it.
	Let's see what happens.
	Send me a copy of that.
	Or it's in the show notes.
	Of course it's in the show notes.
	Well, is it marked up?
	It's only eight pages!
	I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Ew.
	And we do have a few people to thank for show 1271.
	This is show 1271, if you can't keep track.
	Starting with Peter DeJong and Spuzzum.
	I love Spuzzum.
	Spuzzum, he's...
	Okay, yeah.
	He actually wrote, he sent in some, he says the shows are great of late.
	Okay.

	Eric Schimpak in Portage, Wisconsin.
	I'm sorry, that's...
	Oh, that's right.
	Peter DeJong, he donated $234.56 in Canadian, which moves him up to associate executive producer.
	Okay, and Victoria Shellhammer, lest us forget, this is Dame Vicky.
	She goes way back.
	Way, way back.
	And she never misses the show.
	No, I met her at the Chic Shinny meetup.
	That's how long ago it's been.
	How you doing, Dan Vicky?
	So long ago they changed the name of the town.
	Yes, they did.

	They're in the healthcare business.
	Listen to this.
	My siblings and I are all in the healthcare to some extent.
	We talk regularly about the Rona and what is the next best thing in research, treatment, and updates on the vaccines.
	We're just weird that way.
	All of the info you are talking about jives exactly with what we are hearing.
	Thank you.
	And the reason for that is because the info you're hearing from us comes from people like you.
	It's circular that way.
	Well, at least it's a good source.
	John Lawrence, $50.
	And last but not least, Baron Sir Alan Bean up in Tigard, Oregon, $50.

	My bib number is 66, which I hope is good luck, since it's 2 times 33.

	Meet your fellow No Agenda Nation members, tribe members.
	You know what?
	If there's not one near you, why don't you start one?
	It's really worth it.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	It's like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you won't be.
	Triggered on hell's flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	There's some international stuff I want to get out of the way.
	But first, there's something that we kind of missed.
	Uh-oh.
	That's always possible.
	Every year this happens and we miss it every year.
	Oh no!
	Is it Earth Day?
	Did we miss Earth Day?
	Close.
	Okay.
	What did we miss?
	This one, I have to admit that I've never heard of this before, but apparently it's been going on for a while.
	And it's Earth overshoot day.
	Fish, minerals, oil, grains, wood.
	The Earth's resources are finite.
	As of August the 22nd, humans have used up all of the natural resources that the Earth can produce in one year.
	But there is one small silver lining.
	Earth Overshoot Day is three weeks later than its date in 2019.
	That's due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
	But we still have a long way to go.
	Since the 1970s, we have been consuming more and more resources.
	In 1970, Earth Overshoot Day was on the 29th of December.
	Now it's in August.
	That's the global average, because for the world's richest countries, it's much earlier.
	This means that we need 1.6 planets to sustain our way of life.
	But if everyone lived, like in Qatar, we would need 8.9 Earths.
	In Luxembourg, 7.9.
	The US, 5.
	And in France, 2.7 planets.
	Well, don't worry, lady.
	When we get hungry here in America, we're going to eat the Brits.
	So we're not worrying about how much time...
	So on August 22nd, we ran out of everything.
	We're done.
	We're toast.
	No, I don't understand how we could run out of everything, but yet all the cars are still going up and down the freeway, and I'm going to go to the store later.
	Who is behind this?
	Did you look it up?
	I tried.
	I didn't know...
	I just thought it was so ludicrous that I wasn't going to...
	It was like another one of these, you know, population controls.
	The thing that gets me, though, is how does Qatar require eight Earths to survive?
	What are they doing?
	Well, they're doing something really wrong, apparently.
	I'll look into it.
	Doesn't Qatar do natural gas?
	Isn't that their only thing?
	Maybe I'm wrong about that.
	All I know is that they're using up so many resources, it just takes eight planets to keep them going.
	I want to find out who is this about us?
	Come on, who is this?
	Meanwhile, while you're looking that up, let's do some international news and get it out of the way.
	All right.
	Let's start with the Belarus update.
	Yes, and then I have some thoughts on that.
	Now, as mass protests continue in Belarus over the disputed re-election of Alexander Lukashenko, the country's beleaguered president now has a new target, NATO. Lukashenko claiming the alliance is deploying its troops near the borders of Belarus.
	NATO has called the claim baseless, but the longtime leader of Belarus has nevertheless ordered the army to defend the country's borders.
	James Vecina tells us more.
	Two weeks of mass protesting, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets, and many injured and detained.
	After claiming 80% of the votes, President Lukashenko is calling on the army to take the toughest measures to protect the country's territorial integrity.
	He's accusing Western states of backing the demonstrators and the opposition.
	Opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya is currently in exile in Lithuania, and the country's defense minister has denied claims that NATO forces are moving towards Belarus.
	While she doesn't plan on running for president again, she's calling on protesters to up the ante and extend strikes across the country.
	I understand that I'm in safety here, but all the people who voted for me, who stayed in Belarus and who are going on demonstrations now and who are striking now, they need me as a symbol.
	I have looked into this.
	It's hilarious.
	It's hilarious.
	So what is happening?
	Do you know, have you followed any of this, the Belarus, except for what we're being shown, what's being shoved down our throat?
	I'm just deconstructing these stories as best I can.
	Okay.
	And it's not being carried by the M5M, and there's really not a lot of news.
	I mean, I suppose if you went to the European newspapers, you'd find it out a lot more.
	Yeah, which I did, because I was interested, because just what is going on?
	So after the Soviet Union broke apart, Belarus became an independent country.
	Lusashenko has been the president of the country since that happened in 96.
	After two terms, they decided to change, you know, it's very typical, decide to change the constitution so he could be elected more, more times.
	And apparently, you know, they make tractors.
	That's what Belarus doesn't really have a lot.
	And of course, they shuttle Russia.
	And as far as I know, they've changed the constitution twice to accommodate.
	That's possible.
	And so they make tractors, but they do have, you know, they're a pass-through country, just like Ukraine, for Russian gas and oil.
	In fact, this is exactly the Ukrainian situation.
	Because this guy has said from the get-go...
	By the way, if you look at Belarus, Sweden, and South Dakota, what do they have in common?
	They didn't lock down.
	They didn't muzzle their citizens.
	And they've had, I think, 600 deaths in the country.
	It's not a big country, but it's not been horrible.
	Everybody's just continued.
	The work has gone on.
	But every single time the World Health Organization said, hey, everyone's got to do this, this, and this, Belarus went, no, we're not going to do that.
	Now, they had fallen on some harder times, so they were waiting for a 900 million euro package from the International Monetary Fund, who said, okay, we're going to give it to you, but you got to have people social distancing, you have to implement quarantines, you have to wear masks.
	And Lukashenko said, no, I'm not going to do that.
	Screw you.
	I don't need your money.
	I'm not interested.
	This is a problem because the European Union specifically, you notice how Merkel and Macron jumped to attention about the so-called poisoning of Putin's adversary.
	They go, oh, we have to investigation.
	They are so worried that Belarus will rejoin Russia in a deeper way than they already did a few years ago with the Economic Union of Russia, which they are a part of.
	They want them to be in the EU. So just like in Ukraine, what do we do?
	We send in some opposition party, the woman you heard, who filed late.
	That's how late she was in getting into the game.
	Now she's a symbol.
	No, no, no.
	Now, this is a color revolution.
	I'm not quite sure who's doing it yet, but we get some clues from the National Endowment for Democracy.
	This is a non-profit funded mainly by the USAID, another fine government funding source.
	In 2019, let's just look at some of the money that was available for non-governmental organizations in Belarus.
	We have broadening understanding of security issues, freedom of information, $17,000 for that.
	Developing civil society in the Gomel region, NGO strengthening, $28,500.
	Expanding freedom of information, $40,000 for any non-governmental organization who would like to take care of that in Belarus.
	Fostering freedom of media, $43,000.
	Another $10,000 for fostering freedom of the media.
	Fostering independent public discourse and democratic values $40,000.
	You get the idea.
	The list goes on and on.
	But then the kicker...
	...is that this protest is being kind of coordinated and arranged on a telegram channel.
	So the app telegram, which is supposed to be secure and encrypted.
	And the channel is Nexta, N-E-X-T-A. And this has been set up by some young lad, a lad who's about 25 years old, who set this up initially from Germany, and now he has 2 million people on this channel...
	But, you know, he also has pictures of himself at the State Department, other government buildings where he was hanging out.
	It's on his Facebook page.
	His co-founder, has actually been trained by U.S. military, but they're managing the revolutionary channel.
	All we're missing is the Maidan.
	All we're missing is some snipers killing people.
	Yeah, or noodle men.
	Yes, exactly.
	Everything's great there, except I want to mention that the woman that ran, ran not because she was a politician.
	I guess she signed up late because it was her husband that was the chief adversary to this guy who was trying to run there, arrested him and threw him in jail.
	So she ran as a kind of a proxy.
	As a symbol, I don't know about that part of it.
	So the only question is, who's really behind this?
	Because these are typical...
	Because who was in Ukraine when they pulled this crap?
	Brennan, McCain, Lindy Hopp, Lady G, Victoria Nuland, you know, all of this gang was there.
	They're not there now, which is why I don't think it's being reported on.
	So I have to think that this is...
	Probably in coordination with USAID and NED, it may be a Soros op.
	He's always kind of been active in that region.
	But Lukashenko won 80% of the vote, and they've been able to rile up.
	It looks like a lot of people.
	I don't know if it's hundreds of thousands, because you don't know.
	But this is a takedown, and they're going to try and get rid of him.
	So let's see if they take it to the next step.
	If it's us doing it, which I think would be possible, then he'll get taken out.
	I mean, it's going to happen.
	Well, he should be taken out, but this 80% of the voting, you're not believing that, are you?
	I have no idea.
	They've been very happy with him since 1996.
	They have not been a group of complainers.
	This is a fact.
	Yeah.
	Everyone's been pretty happy.
	They make their tractors.
	Everything's pretty good.
	They didn't have to wear a mask.
	Everyone's groovy.
	This guy's an anti-globalist, and he's got to go, especially because Putin is now looking towards Belarus.
	What happened with Ukraine?
	Crimea.
	So something's up, and Merkel and Macron are freaked out.
	Well, something's going on.
	At least we're covering it.
	We'll keep trying to follow it.
	France 24 has reports.
	So does democracy now, but they're kind of...
	I'm sure they're incomplete at best.
	The next one is the Mali update.
	Ooh.
	Mali is in the drug Mali?
	Mali is a big African country right on the West, and they had a coup, which seemed to be popular, a popular coup, and now everybody's all freaked out about it.
	A delegation from a block of 15 West African nations has arrived in Mali following a military coup there.
	Officials from the Economic Community of West African States, or ECOWAS, Meeting with the junta that overthrew the country's president earlier this week and demanding a return to civilian rule.
	Some ECOWAS members were also able to meet with President Keita in a bid to reverse his overthrow.
	The latest with Monty Francis.
	Touching down in Bamako, members of the Economic Community of West African States are in Mali on a mission.
	The delegation, which includes presidents from Niger, Senegal and Ghana and led by the former president of Nigeria, wants to block a regime change in Mali following a military coup last week.
	But there's no warm welcome from the military junta responsible for the mutiny.
	They took President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita into custody at gunpoint, but insist that he resigned willingly.
	Its leaders are standing their ground, rejecting what they call foreign interference.
	In Bamako, the public has overwhelmingly supported the ouster of the president, but Saturday's protest did include another group of pro-Keita demonstrators.
	The military junta says it's moving forward with plans to organize elections and name a transitional president.
	But has refused to say when that might happen.
	This is odd because we had military there.
	Mali.
	The Dutch were in Mali.
	Lots of NATO forces.
	And now, was this the way it was supposed to happen?
	Again.
	Sounds like, yeah, we have no information.
	Why wouldn't we?
	Right, we have not enough reports.
	We also have, there's another guy who changed his constitution so he could stay in office.
	Right, right.
	Third times a day.
	In Belarus, though, I think they did that by referendum.
	So it wasn't just like a purely political move.
	They were happy with him.
	That's all I know.
	And then last on this list is the Ivory Coast.
	Looks like a new hot spot.
	Uh-oh.
	They finally found one with black people.
	It's amazing.
	You know what's going to happen?
	Sporadic violence flaring up in Ivory Coast this Saturday after President Alassane Ouattara was officially nominated by his ruling party to run for a third term in October's election.
	The opposition has denounced the move as unconstitutional.
	Ouattara, in power since 2010, had previously said he would not stand again, but his ruling party chose him as its candidate after its initial nominee, Prime Minister Amadou Koulibaly, died of a heart attack in July.
	It's interesting that we have these reports which are just almost not covered except by some international, really, satellite media.
	There was a, on CNN, Amanpour& Co., which she doesn't do the interviews, I guess, they had on, maybe you know her, She's the columnist for Daily Beast, Margaret Carlson.
	Do you know her?
	No, I do not.
	Seems like she's been around.
	And she is just lamenting the state of journalism.
	Well, listen to her, and then we can kind of compare it to what journalism actually is in our country.
	Margaret, do you worry that candidates can now just bypass the news media and that what happens on TV and in newspapers doesn't really matter much?
	Do I ever worry about that and does it ever hurt me?
	Because think about the convention we're about to see.
	It could be the Twitter convention in which the first impression people get is from their Twitter feeds.
	Skipping us all together because we'll be coming out in the middle of the night.
	You know, we were there in the golden age of journalism.
	So much has happened and so much is lost.
	And I don't think it's just because I'm in it that I say that.
	I think someday people will come back to the notion that we weren't fake news and that...
	Buying a newspaper as a citizen was a good thing to do and that it mattered.
	How you used to learn about what was happening in your government really mattered.
	Boo-hoo!
	Maybe...
	What's the golden age of journalism in her view?
	When people still...
	How old is she?
	When people...
	She looks in the 60s, mid-60s.
	I'll tell you.
	When people still went to...
	73.
	Oh, really?
	When she went...
	So she...
	The golden age of journalism was probably, in my opinion, in the 50s.
	And...
	Why?
	Why was it the golden age?
	Why?
	Well, I think it was the golden age because I've gone, did research in the old newspaper archives at the University of California where they have these old newspapers.
	And if you go into the 50s and start looking at the papers where there was lots of competition, there was like eight or nine newspapers in New York, two or three in Chicago, three or four in San Francisco.
	There's the Call, the Call Bulletin, the San Francisco Examiner, the Chronicle, and a couple others.
	Things were vibrant.
	They were all before TV news kind of started ruining the business.
	And if you look at any of the papers, they are chock full of information.
	It's astonishing how much you can be sitting with that newspaper for.
	It's better than the Internet.
	It's just amazing.
	Exactly.
	And that, to me, was the golden age.
	Maybe the 30s or 40s may even be better.
	But once TV news came in, that's when it started to deteriorate.
	Yeah, and then they resorted to tactics such as letting the CIA write for them and native advertising and corrupt practices and bad journalism.
	You're so right.
	It's too commercial.
	Oh, people used to buy the paper.
	Yeah, people used to buy the paper because it was subsidized by classified ads.
	And you're screwed, lady.
	What she means is, I wish we could get paid to do good journalism.
	Oh, well, that's the problem.
	One request, and maybe this will be our last thing, one request from...
	I have one last clip.
	Okay.
	Then we'll do the last clip.
	Yeah.
	The request is from many of our foreign, overseas Gitmo Nation dwellers.
	Can you explain the difference between mail-in voting and absentee ballot voting?
	Because it is confusing, and I believe it is intentionally done so, because all people hear now is...
	Well, he's against mailing voting, but he mailed it and voted himself.
	It's always been done, but it hasn't.
	People don't understand anymore what's on the table.
	I figured maybe you could help.
	A couple of things.
	Absentee balloting is a limited number of ballots.
	It's not everyone in the state, and it's done through a process that requires a lot of hoops.
	You've got to jump through hoops to get the ballot.
	To prove that it's you.
	Sorry?
	To prove that it's you.
	That's why there's hoops.
	In Washington State, it took years to perfect it.
	Years.
	Not a week or two.
	It took not a month.
	It took years to get it right.
	And they have a complete system where you sign the ballot when you go and it goes through a computer.
	All the signatures are compared with the signatures that are on file.
	Who's going to set that up?
	It's a very complex system in Washington State that took years to develop.
	It's very accurate.
	She's had her ballot kick back a couple of times because she wrote a sloppy signature or I signed her name or something like that.
	Fraud, yes.
	It detected fraud.
	It detected fraud.
	Husband and wife.
	And so it gets kicked back and it gets voided.
	A lot of stuff gets voided.
	It's an extremely complex system that took a long time to make work.
	For California, for example, just do 100% mail-in voting.
	It's idiotic.
	It's not going to – or any other state.
	You don't have the mechanisms.
	It's too much mechanisms.
	Absentee ballots is a limited number.
	You sign up.
	You have to sign to get the ballot.
	You have to do it way in advance so they know who you are, so they take you off the other rolls.
	It's a very complicated system.
	Just this unlimited mail-in ballot is like internet voting.
	The potential for fraud is outrageous.
	And people who keep denying the potential for fraud are frauds themselves.
	And the concept is we just send everybody we have on a voter roll a ballot and then people just fill them out, sign them, and send them back.
	No verification, to my knowledge, except for address verification.
	There won't be any verification.
	The whole thing is just ridiculous.
	If people can stand in line for groceries, they can stand in line to vote.
	Right.
	But California, have they now decided mail-in voting?
	Yes, they have, right?
	Yeah.
	California doesn't matter.
	It's going to be all Democrats win everything anyway.
	Right, but you expect it to be a mess.
	I mean, what I see now is the Democrats have their final last strategy in place, the lawfare group.
	They've got lawyers in every state.
	And they'll be ready.
	The minute Joe loses, they will be filing lawsuits, and this is what Trump is saying, and this is how some wishful Democrats know that Nancy Pelosi will be president once that happens, because they'll never get an answer, and then it defers to the House, and of course Nancy will be elected to do that.
	It's their final, last, desperate strategy.
	Well, it's pretty desperate.
	You can stand in line for groceries, which you do.
	You can stand in line to vote.
	It just doesn't make sense to me that you have to do mail-in voting.
	People can, you know...
	And it's going to be in November.
	This thing should be way on the other side of...
	Of course, you've got to get a flu shot.
	Probably have to have a flu shot to vote.
	Oh, there you go.
	Now, that's the ticket.
	That's the ticket.
	That'll be okay.
	All right, last clip.
	Let's get out of here.
	I got my last clip.
	This is the clip with Amy Goodman and the Democrats bitching and moaning and groaning about the pardon of the dead Susan B. Anthony for the fact that she got arrested some type in the 1800s.
	And it was just kind of a gimmick that Trump pulled off.
	So it brings out the worst in the Democrats.
	They want him to take that pardon back.
	Take it back.
	And then like the old joke where the woman says, oh, the portions.
	She says, oh, this food at this place is so bad.
	And the other woman says, it is bad.
	And the portions are so small.
	An old, old joke.
	This is the way this ends up, too, because it's not only bad that Trump did this, but Susan B. Anthony was a racist.
	President Trump Tuesday pardoned suffragist Susan B. Anthony in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.
	Anthony was arrested in 1872 for voting when women were banned from the process.
	In response, New York's Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul tweeted, quote, As highest-ranking woman elected official in New York and on behalf of Susan B. Anthony's legacy, we demand Trump rescind his pardon, Ugh!
	Black women wouldn't enjoy full voting rights for decades until passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
	Susan B. Anthony herself has been accused of racism for focusing on white women's suffrage instead of voting rights for all women.
	Oh, now all women matter.
	Oh, please.
	Oh, brother.
	It's so sad.
	Well, I sure hope the mainstream media doesn't go down in flames, because otherwise we have no show.
	We need the bad reporting to do it right.
	Yes, we do need the battery recording.
	It helps.
	Otherwise, you're going to listen to podcasts.
	Well, speaking of such, on the NoAgendaStream.com, Fun Fact Friday, Bowl After Bowl, Abs and Six-Pack, Rare Encounters, and Our Big Dumb Mouth, and also the 2030 Podcast have all joined the stream, all commercial-free at NoAgendaStream.com.
	And we've got Grumpy Old Ben's coming up next.
	Also, end of show mixes from Tom Starkweather, Rolando Gonzalez, Track Rat, and Jesse Coy Nelson, who's just untireable.
	Coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star, state, FEMA region number six in the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where supposedly we ran out of resources, but cars are still going down the freeway.
	How does that work?
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Please join us and remember us at dvorak.org slash na.

	It sounds like you.
	We don't know if he's going to be okay.
	John, are you okay?
	Stay safe.
	Stay safe.
	Things happen.
	And we have a podcaster down.
	Podcaster down, everybody.
	Thank you.
	We don't understand.
	You're okay.
	Sorry, you're okay.
	Stay safe.

	Flood the zone.
	Are you ready?
	You're going to have a good audience.
	People are going to find out what the hell's going on here tonight.
	So if the scientists say, shut it down, I would shut it down.
	I would listen to the scientists.
	Because Big Pharma is the most powerful group.
