	This is a radio guy!
	A radio guy playing vice president.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, August 27th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1272.
	This is no agenda.
	Going dark 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 I'm worried sick that Hurricane Laura is going to knock you out.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	Yeah, that's...
	It was kind of a valid concern yesterday, but I woke up this morning and I've been kind of checking the news, and has this thing been downgraded to a Category 2?
	I didn't know what it was categorized as.
	Oh, yes.
	Yesterday it was...
	In California, we don't care.
	No, you got your own problems.
	No, it was a Category 4.
	You know, Tina lives in Florida so long, and she knows what that really means on the ground.
	And let me see if CNN says anything.
	It's just Category 4.
	That's really bad.
	Okay, here you go.
	It's now Category 1 storm.
	Alright, there you go.
	I'm glad we had everybody out there.
	It just means rain for you.
	Are you going to get rain?
	No, we're not even...
	Rain's not even...
	It's off of...
	It's like Port Arthur.
	It's off further northeast of Houston.
	It's quite a ways away from us.
	Well, good.
	It'll drop some rain.
	No, we have zero rain.
	We could use it.
	No rain so far.
	None at all.
	But that's okay, because then we can go back to your regularly scheduled programming, which is outrage.
	And before we get to the obvious topic that you and I are looking forward to talk about, we do have an update on COVID-19, some outrage.
	I have COVID clips.
	Yeah, well, good.
	Then let me start.
	You want to start at the top and start with Amy worried sick that this would get worse than ever?
	Yeah.
	Amy and CNN both?
	Oh no, we have to do that no matter what.
	Hold on a second.
	Where is it?
	Which clip is it?
	Let's see.
	It'll probably be COVID. Amy's...
	COVID flew south.
	One, two.
	The COVID gloom.
	Ah, there we go.
	The United States reported 1,147 coronavirus deaths on Tuesday with over 37,000 new confirmed cases.
	Many of the latest outbreaks have come in schools and on college campuses as students return for fall classes.
	In Tuscaloosa, the University of Alabama reported more than 560 coronavirus cases.
	University of Missouri confirmed nearly 160 cases on its first day of classes.
	This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention quietly altered its COVID-19 testing recommendations, saying people without symptoms should not be tested for coronavirus, even if they've been in close contact with an infected person.
	The CDC's new advice drew alarm from public health officials who say the recommendation could accelerate the spread of the disease.
	I love this story.
	This is such a great story.
	Just as a backgrounder, during the reporting, there was shot after shot after shot after shot of somebody taking a long probe and shoving down somebody's nose a mile.
	I had to turn away.
	Oh, this is the old school, the one where they shove it up into your brain.
	Nice.
	Oh, well, that's really smart.
	Show that.
	They're doing some dumb things.
	But this story is fantastic.
	And you heard the slant from Amy.
	Quietly they changed it, implying they snuck into the website in the dark of night.
	People check the CDC website every five minutes for new information.
	But, no, no, no, no.
	This change shall not stand.
	CNN was outraged.
	They have their doctor, I think it's Elizabeth Cohen.
	You know, it doesn't make any sense.
	I'm not just going to say what, I'm going to say what the, and I'm going to let you fill in the blank.
	This is ridiculous.
	The CDC used to say, if you've had close contact with someone with coronavirus, meaning within six feet of them for 15 minutes or more, you should get tested.
	Now they're saying you should consider getting tested.
	Notice the voice inflection.
	But you might not need to unless you're a vulnerable person, which usually means older or have an underlying health condition, or your doctor or local public health official tells you to.
	What?!
	People who are exposed to someone with coronavirus should get tested.
	Experts will tell you that that is the case.
	Why wouldn't you want to get tested?
	And this kind of back and forth with very subtle language where you have to click on three different places to figure out what they mean is crazy making.
	It is not public health communication.
	It is clearly pressure from some force in some way.
	A force!
	If you want to communicate clearly to the American public...
	The CDC knows how to do that.
	They do that for a living.
	They are not doing it here, and there must be a reason for it.
	Oh, yes.
	I've even heard that sources inside CDC say there was pressure from the White House, which is probably true.
	But this is not abnormal, and it doesn't say, stop being tested.
	They quietly changed it.
	They didn't go out and say, stop being tested.
	No, you jamokes did that, you morons.
	That's what's hilarious.
	I'll go back to the other assertion, which is that...
	They talk about this as though they keep showing this test.
	I wouldn't want to get tested watching these videos.
	They're doing everything wrong if they're trying to be on message and get people tested.
	And, of course, the hypocrisy of a CDC change, which on March 6th, we had very different information about wearing masks, and the CDC was saying this.
	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.
	You know the clip.
	I don't have to play the whole thing.
	But when the CDC changed, everyone went, come on, it's the CDC. Things change.
	We've learned more about the virus.
	And now, now it's Trump, of course, which, by the way, I don't dispute.
	But I also understand why this thing is over.
	You're terrorizing people for no good reason.
	But Dr. Cohen will double down.
	This is a change that was made on the website that is so subtle and wasn't alerted.
	Okay.
	It's not subtle.
	It's very clear.
	They even have a change.
	You know, what has changed in each update?
	Kind of like, you know, what are the new features of your virus or your software?
	And so it's not subtle, it's there, but they didn't go out announcing it.
	You did all the work, dummy!
	This is a change that was made on the website that is so subtle and wasn't alerted, so we sort of had to discover it on our own.
	It's the kind of thing...
	The journalist discovered it by refreshing a page.
	Oh my goodness.
	It's the kind of thing, again, crazy making.
	The language is subtly changed.
	Americans aren't going to get this.
	You have to have sort of a team of scholars pour over it as if it were a biblical passage.
	Really now?
	It was plain English to me.
	It didn't seem like a biblical passage that I needed some scholars to decode, which, by the way, I also have access to.
	By the way, she has dropped a little subconscious that Americans aren't going to get this.
	Oh yeah, because we're dummies.
	No, we're not going to get the virus.
	Oh!
	Truth comes out.
	Let's hear it again.
	Americans aren't going to get this.
	You have to have sort of a team of scholars go over it as if it were a biblical passage to figure out what they're trying to say.
	Oh, what a liar.
	I mean, I could read it if you want me to, but I think you'll take my word for it.
	I will say 1,200 people dead in the last 24 hours reported in a policy that may lead to fewer tests and fewer known cases.
	Ask yourself why.
	And we might as well get one response from a governor to this news.
	Gavin Newsom, I don't know if you've been watching.
	I got a couple good clips out of it.
	He's doing a daily show.
	He's got callers.
	He's taking calls.
	Hey, caller.
	He's got nothing else to do.
	Well, but it's interesting.
	Hi, Governor.
	The CDC is now saying there is no need to test even if you've been in contact with someone infected with COVID-19.
	And we've heard Governor Cuomo criticize this change as part of President Trump's policy of denying the problem and wanting fewer people to take the test.
	My questions are, do you agree with that?
	And what's your response to this recent change in guidance?
	I don't agree with the new CDC guidance period, full stop, and it's not the policy in the state of California.
	We will not be influenced by that change.
	We're influenced by those that are experts in the field that feel very differently.
	CDC is the experts.
	No, that is not the policy guideline that we will embrace or adopt here in the state of California.
	So CDC is no longer the experts.
	But it was the same CDC. Well, they're the experts when they agree with him.
	Yeah.
	I mean, this is nonsense.
	I mean, first of all, they say, well, the CDC is independent and Trump has been trying to do this and that.
	And then they ask for masks and Trump hates the masks.
	So why didn't they not do that?
	But they did.
	I mean, this is bull crap.
	These guys are just cherry picking whatever they want.
	If the CDC, the way I see it, the CDC says that I'm good with it.
	The inconsistency, the way the media interprets official messaging, and my goodness, there's a great timeline of hydroxychloroquine that showed up on things called Tablet.
	I put it in the show notes.
	It's a thousand miles long, but it takes you all the way.
	It doesn't tell you whether it's good or not.
	It shows you everything that happened, when it got politicized, how that worked.
	It's really interesting.
	But The point is, people get confused by the media who are actually, I think it's their job to scare and confuse people, but they're making it so easy that people will just give up.
	I mean, so we had Austin, we had protests.
	The protests were broken up with horses.
	Someone was killed, died during one of these protests.
	Protesting what?
	Black Lives Matter.
	I'm getting to a point here.
	So here's Austin's top doctor yesterday, and now all of a sudden he's really upset.
	I have to say that yesterday I spoke about college students being a part of this community and taking that individual responsibility and ensuring that they are not the focus of infectious outbreaks.
	And I was disappointed to see the photos yesterday of groups of young people together on the streets of Austin.
	We need to do better.
	We all have to be engaged in this mission together.
	We have to show that as college students in Austin, Texas, that we can be responsible as Forgo the usual and customary things that we do as college students temporarily while we fight this very dangerous pandemic.
	I think it's important for student leaders to stand up as well and to say that same message to their peers, that we have to be responsible right now and we have to ensure that we are not going to be the cause of a substantial outbreak.
	Okay, so you want to confuse these kids and say, now you can't be outside.
	Protesting, nothing was said.
	It's all fine.
	And now, oh no, you've got to go inside.
	The kids have become apathetic here.
	They don't care about politics.
	Apathetic.
	I'm liking the new pronunciation.
	Apathetic.
	Apathetic.
	What am I doing wrong?
	What am I doing wrong?
	Apathetic?
	Apathetic.
	But I like apathetic.
	That's the Dutch slipping in there.
	Yeah, they don't care.
	They don't care about anything.
	They're disillusioned.
	They're done with it all.
	They find it stupid.
	Well, you know they put up with so much of this.
	Well, of course.
	Of course.
	They all would like some money.
	You know, where's my check?
	F-capitalism.
	Where's my check?
	I hear a lot of that.
	F-capitalism.
	I need some capital.
	But, you know, like Sunday, the Video Music Awards are going to be in New York.
	Well, of course, the governor has exempted celebrities from quarantine when they come into New York to attend the Video Music Awards.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the kind of messaging.
	And then if Maine says, hunters, we'd really like you to practice social distancing while you're out during this bear hunting season.
	I mean, come on.
	Even I can laugh at that.
	Social distance while you're...
	Social distance.
	Bear hunting, please.
	So we do have a couple new things that we've learned.
	Before we go there, I want to get the Harry Scarry reports out of the way.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	Oh, goodness.
	Harry Scarry.
	I want to go back to Amy because she's got...
	It's just not us.
	We're all going to die.
	No.
	Well, we've got a world report here.
	In international news, Argentina reported a daily record of over 8,700 new coronavirus cases and 381 deaths Monday.
	In Europe, France confirmed a spike of nearly 4,900 new coronavirus cases Monday, the country's highest single-day figure since the beginning of the pandemic.
	Several other European countries, including Spain, Italy, and Germany, have also had a rise in new COVID cases after reopening.
	Cases, cases, cases.
	Nothing but cases.
	And then you notice the key word, which is thematic.
	After reopening, they should not have been reopened.
	Yes.
	They violated the...
	Here comes the slow Zephyr, by the way.
	Slow Zephyr, ladies and gentlemen.
	Slow Zephyr.
	Let's go.
	Here we do.
	What are we doing on the slow Zephyr?
	Eight cars.
	Wait a minute.
	Hold on.
	We're on a slow...
	Slow eight cars.
	Economy stable.
	I think the market's going to move sideways.
	It's just like the train was doing.
	Um...
	So the theme is always the same, reopen, they prematurely reopen.
	Of course, nobody in none of the reports in the last weeks or months have mentioned or talked about or even mentioned Sweden, which never closed to begin with.
	Or a ventilator, for that matter.
	Or ventilators haven't been mentioned either.
	Where are all the people dying on the ventilators?
	Nah.
	I got more.
	Yeah, oh good, good, good, good.
	We like them.
	Now, we go to NPR for this one.
	You're going hardcore.
	And this is a whole report.
	This is a two-part clip.
	A whole report on what's going down in South America, which is kind of dubious because I want you to listen to these two clips because I don't understand what the messaging is here.
	Okay.
	Because it's vague.
	It's about how the flu season disappeared.
	Okay.
	It just wasn't there and only the COVID season?
	It's strange.
	This is the strangest report and they never really make any conclusions or tell us anything valuable.
	It's very, just a strange report.
	This is COVID flu South 1.
	Flu is a seasonal illness.
	Flu infections peak in the winter.
	Well, winter is coming...
	I'm already going to have a problem with this report.
	Flu, winter.
	It's disgusting, by the way.
	I have another NPR clip coming up where the woman has...
	The vocal fry is bad enough, but vocal fry whispered into the mic is really bad.
	Oh, that's ASMR. Flu is a seasonal illness.
	Flu infections peak in the winter.
	Well, winter is coming to an end in the Southern Hemisphere.
	And people there have just gone through a strange flu season, one deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
	NPR's Nell Greenfield Boyce reports...
	Hey man, who wants to listen to that?
	I'm sorry.
	It sounds so condescending like she's talking to kids.
	That's NPR. That is their model.
	We talk to kids.
	Their experience may be a sign of what's to come in northern countries like the U.S. When the virus that causes COVID-19 started spreading widely in February and March, public health officials in the southern hemisphere realized they were about to face a double whammy.
	Their flu season starts in May or June.
	There's always deaths and hospitalizations from flu.
	And now here was another severe respiratory virus?
	The countries took it very, very seriously.
	Silva Aldegheri is the incident manager for COVID-19 with the Pan American Health Organization.
	He says southern countries did all they could to prepare for flu.
	They bought more vaccines.
	They vaccinated more people during the pre-flu season.
	Then they waited for influenza cases to start rising.
	They waited and waited and waited.
	Now we are well advanced during the flu season in the south and we have not seen any spike, any upsurge of flu.
	Flu hasn't totally disappeared, but it's way, way down.
	For example, take one three-week period in the middle of winter in Chile.
	He says over 3,000 patients with flu-like symptoms were tested.
	And zero tests were positive for influenza.
	Ah, okay.
	The test may be no good.
	This is weird.
	You know, it's funny you said that because I was thinking the same thing.
	Why did you say that?
	And I want to mention something else.
	In my entire life, and I'm older than you, I don't remember hearing about influenza tests.
	No, me neither.
	It's just all of a sudden it shows up in the news as, oh, it's a normal thing.
	Oh, it was tested for flu and it wasn't the flu.
	It was tested for COVID. But when I was a kid, all my entire life, I've never been tested for the flu.
	You get the flu.
	You know what it is when you get it.
	It's very distinctive.
	But I've never been tested for and I never heard of anyone being tested for.
	But all of a sudden now we're hearing about testing for the flu.
	I just find this to be peculiar.
	COVID has brought us many miracles, John.
	One of them is a test for the flu and no flu in South America.
	It's a beautiful thing.
	Should we listen to part two?
	Yes, please.
	Hundreds of those tests would normally be positive for flu.
	The same pattern is being seen in Southern Africa, Australia.
	Kanta Subarau directs the World Health Organization's collaborating center for reference and research on influenza in Melbourne.
	We are totally surprised.
	I mean, we had influenza activity in January and February, and we have a few isolates from March, and then it just totally dropped off.
	So, why did this happen?
	No one is really sure.
	But everything being done to stop COVID-19 is surely hitting flu as well.
	So the restriction on travel is a big, big element.
	Mask wearing, hand washing, and all the social distancing.
	Still, she says the northern parts of the world should not be complacent and think they're off the hook for flu.
	Because influenza surprises us.
	Viruses surprise us.
	We're sort of seeing very little influenza activity in the Southern Hemisphere, but that doesn't allow me to predict that that will be the case for the Northern Hemisphere.
	She and other flu experts say, get vaccinated.
	This is one of those years that it's more important than ever to get your flu vaccine.
	Stacey Schultz-Cherry is a flu researcher at St.
	Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
	She says scientists always look at what flu strains are circulating to make predictions about what should go into next year's flu vaccine.
	And even though flu cases are oddly low, They'll still be able to do that.
	I get it.
	It became a promotion.
	I get it.
	It's a promotion.
	Oh, boy.
	Now, let me bring up a couple of journalistic issues.
	Oh, please do.
	First of all, They had 3,000 what looked like the flu and they tested and they got no flu in Chile or wherever it was.
	Did anyone ask if the tests were flawed or maybe they had a bad batch of tests, test swabs or whatever the testing mechanism is?
	Did people have symptoms?
	Was there one question asked about the possibility?
	No.
	Secondly, the second question that comes to mind immediately...
	What did all these flu sufferers who didn't have the flu, what was it that they had?
	3,000 of them?
	I'd like to know what it was.
	Was it a bad cold?
	They never said.
	They never asked.
	This is really classic bad reporting that we see.
	It just oozes out of NPR. They leave things out.
	They don't even put it in the question bank.
	Well, the push for the flu shot, the vaccine for the twindemic is still very much in play.
	The twindemic.
	Yes, we have Governor Whitmer of Michigan, who I'm sure is pissed off that she's not Kamala, because I'm sure she was vying for it, but now she's going all out by getting the flu shot.
	Literally the easiest thing I will do today.
	Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer announcing a new push by the state to bump up flu shot use ahead of this year's flu season to help with hospital capacity amidst a potential second wave in the COVID-19 fight.
	When we all get our flu vaccine, we can help keep thousands of flu patients out of the hospitals and prevent overcrowding.
	The governor stating CDC estimates of roughly 740,000 Americans hospitalized from the flu last season, with Michigan in 2018 ranking 38 out of the 50 states for people getting the flu vaccine.
	Influenza has the power to infect millions.
	The state launching the Facing the Flu Together campaign with a target of a million more Michiganders vaccinated than last year.
	A 33% increase.
	The flu vaccine does not cause the flu.
	There are some people whose bodies may respond to the flu vaccine with mild body aches or runny nose.
	That is not the flu.
	Exactly.
	Ignore the pain!
	That's your body mounting an immune response so it can fight off the flu.
	The flu vaccine prevents anywhere from 40 to 60% of cases of the flu every year.
	All right.
	A nice little 33 in there.
	Always happy to hear it.
	Thank you very much, Governor Whitmer.
	Now, the entire screenplay is being unfolded down under in Australia.
	Everything we saw happening here as if no one has learned, no one was watching, is happening there.
	And, of course, hydroxychloroquine is now the huge problem because we can't have people taking it.
	We need some laws.
	Oh, wait, there are laws.
	Here is New South Wales politician Craig Kelly speaking out about what he finds is a scandal.
	On the drug hydroxychloroquine.
	And it's not about whether my opinion thinks the drug is effective or not, Deputy Speaker.
	It's about whether the big hand of government has the right to interfere in the doctor-patient relationship and to say to the doctor that you cannot prescribe this drug to your patient if you think, not only it would help them, but it may save their life.
	That's what we're currently doing in Australia.
	At the state level, we have state governments that are putting rulings in that are actually making a doctor liable to go to prison if he prescribes hydroxychloroquine to one of his patients.
	New World Order Down Under doesn't mess around, by the way.
	They're serious.
	...if he thinks it may save their life.
	Now, why is this based on, Deputy Speaker?
	Well, it's based on the findings of our National COVID-19 Critical Evidence Task Force.
	And their recommendations are, and I quote, based on the available evidence, hydroxychloroquine is potentially harmful and no more effective than standard care in treating patients with COVID-19.
	We therefore recommend that hydroxychloroquine should not be used.
	So Deputy Speaker said, how did they come to that recommendation?
	Well, that goes on.
	Evidence informing this recommendation comes from nine randomised trials that compared hydroxychloroquine plus standard care to standard care alone.
	But Deputy Speaker, when you go and you look at those nine trials that they looked at, Not one of them looks at the way hydroxychloroquine or the doctors that advocate for this drug say it should be used.
	The doctors say it should be used with zinc and also an antibiotic such as azrithromycin, Deputy Speaker.
	Give you a word to say for non-medical people.
	That is how they advocate it for.
	And also, that it must be prescribed and taken in the first five days after someone becomes infected.
	You know, it's actually quite possible if you look at hydroxychloroquine, if you look at, gosh, there's the convalescent plasma, which is not something new.
	You look at the Mike Lindell ointment flower sap.
	You look at laronlimab.
	something that's been approved you look at this I mean there's all these different we're probably gonna we're probably going to do a lot of damage to influenza I think you know chicken soup I mean there's all kinds of things that have yet to be studied properly however Dr.
	Harvey Rich is making the rounds.
	Don't expect to see him on CNN or MSNBC anytime soon.
	He's the editor of the International Journal of Cancer Research.
	He's a serious guy.
	He has the credentials.
	And he's angry at the media.
	Somehow we've let politics overrule science.
	And it's an absurd situation.
	People have compared this to 1984 and the Ministry of Truth and so on that's limiting what people can say on objective facts.
	It's beyond belief.
	Here's the thing.
	I think they know that the treatment works.
	I think that basically they're afraid to even let it be tried because letting it be tried would show that it works.
	So the message has to be shut.
	At all costs, because anything will leak out, and in fact it is leaking out, and you see across the country people who've started to speak up, who've become almost deathly ill and have been turned around in three days, or sooner even, and these are now public figures who are speaking up, who've said that the medicine saved their life, and it's very difficult to, you know, close all the leaks in that dike that are being suppressed by people.
	The media that are trying to do that.
	Maybe one day the history book will be written and we'll learn more about it.
	Well, that's my prediction from the get-go.
	But let me read you.
	You're talking about Australia.
	I want to read this article.
	Perth woman who hid in trucks.
	She didn't hide in the truck.
	She took a truck ride.
	To enter Western Australia from Victoria, cops harshest penalty yet.
	A Perth woman.
	She was in Melbourne to visit her sixth sister.
	She was given a pass to go back to Western Australia.
	She went into hibernation for 14 days at an expense of $2,500 in a hotel.
	She decided to hitch a ride on a truck instead and just go in and hang out with her boyfriend.
	They never caught her at the border or anything, but they found where she was living with her partner, and then she got arrested and they threw her in jail.
	Okay.
	For how long?
	Well, I was going to say that I think the punishment currently in Australia, if you violate that rule, is they shave your head and they make you run naked through the streets.
	I'm sorry.
	Wrong fascist.
	Six months.
	Yes, it was six months.
	She got six months in jail for going back home.
	Is that G-A-O-L jail?
	Maybe.
	But she ended up...
	Six months, they're going to obviously appeal, but they're not going to get anywhere because...
	The magistrate says this is going to just send the message that we need to send to keep people from pulling this stunt of this horrible virus that's going to kill us all if we don't jail this woman in a virus-laden prison for six whole months.
	This is like, what is wrong with these people?
	Well, taking into account this New York Times article...
	Which details how after the Wuhan lockdown, thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of bots controlled by Chinese entities swarmed all over Twitter with lockdown messages targeted specifically at Italians in Italy.
	There's a lot going on with China in this.
	It's just, I mean, for the New York Times to even write that is surprising to me.
	Although I don't think they have their China Daily anymore.
	I think they nixed that.
	It was getting a little too hot under their feet.
	So they had this massive social media campaign, and I'm sure they did the same with New York.
	I mean, it's so bad.
	Cuomo, he talks about the Europe virus.
	He doesn't even say the China virus.
	I think I have a clip of that.
	Yes, you're right.
	And he makes a point of it.
	Uh, shoot, I thought I had...
	The R.C.'s concern is from Europe.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Yeah, oh, no, this virus is from Europe.
	Here it is.
	I think this is him.
	February 2nd, the president ordered a travel ban from China.
	March 1st, we have the first confirmed case in the state of New York.
	By March 19th, New York state is totally closed down.
	No state moved faster from first case to close down than the state of New York.
	This is really old.
	We have a full travel ban from Europe.
	No, I'm sorry.
	I was looking for something else where he literally says, like Trump says the China virus, he says the Europe virus.
	Please.
	But we know, we know that New York is already owned by China and just as predicted, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da.
	Here's the article.
	I want to read this out of context.
	Here it is.
	Headline.
	Cooperate with us.
	China's Xi bypasses Trump in appeal to state and local officials.
	I told you.
	State and local officials in the United States can strengthen economic ties that offset the worsening rivalry between Washington and Beijing, according to Chinese autocrat Xi Jinping.
	We must actively cooperate with all countries, regions, and enterprises who are willing to cooperate with us, including states, localities, and enterprises in the United States.
	He said this following his annual policy retreat.
	So he's offering money.
	I mean, this is the China model.
	Well, it's working in Australia.
	They got that one whole state.
	They got them on lockdown.
	They got the hydroxy out of there, and the fear is baked in, and you've just got to appreciate the NBA. Okay, sure, I'm sure that China is behind this NBA bullcrap.
	Oh yes, it's Black Lives Matter bullcrap.
	I don't know what...
	Did you see the WNBA? Oh my goodness.
	Let me just tell you.
	So, National Anthem, they're all kneeling, and they're all wearing t-shirts with seven bullet holes on their backs.
	Oh, that's the seven bullet holes, yeah.
	Yeah, but on their backs, man.
	It's like, oh, okay, well, maybe we should find...
	This is seditious stuff.
	Seditious is exactly what it is.
	Now, there's one more thing.
	Actually, it was Agent Orange who heard it from the U.S. Embassy, and lo and behold, I don't think it's a news article yet.
	Let me see.
	I have a link here.
	This is just the Justice Department.
	So this came out yesterday.
	Department of Justice requesting data from governors of states that issued COVID-19 orders that may have resulted in deaths of elderly nursing home residents.
	Hello, Cuomo.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	Hello, Cuomo.
	Data will help inform whether Department of Justice will initiate investigations under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act.
	10,000 murdered by Cuomo.
	Regarding New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan's response to COVID-19 in public nursing homes.
	This is a big one.
	And you're not going to hear about it.
	Shh!
	Shh!
	Quiet about that!
	I don't want anybody to know.
	Not in our media, we won't.
	Well, no, maybe no media at all.
	Who cares?
	I think, oh, well, yes, I did have just one more.
	There is some hope, and it looks like the Irish, the Irish are fed up.
	They want to be let out.
	Time for change.
	There's a big protest.
	This is one of the protest organizers.
	I'm not exactly sure who's behind this.
	Dolores Cahill, C-A-H-I-L-L. It was a big, big demonstration.
	Peaceful.
	No one wearing masks.
	Everyone just chilling out.
	And I just clipped about a minute of it so we can listen.
	Make sure that I'm here to give you information.
	And I want to be held to account.
	If my information is wrong, I will correct it.
	And I'm asking you to do the research and find out for yourselves.
	So I'm going to tell you very briefly three things.
	Who I am and that there is really good news about COVID-19.
	Number two, if this good news is true, what changes should we be making in Ireland and in the whole world?
	And number three, that Ireland is actually leading a movement in the whole world to set these changes on the line.
	The opposite of fear is love.
	They want you to be afraid.
	You have to love yourselves, love each other, and love Ireland.
	We are the change.
	Truth and freedom.
	Truth and freedom.
	Okay, you can kill this clip.
	Yeah, you got it.
	Okay.
	Well, you can't hear.
	I couldn't hear a thing.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Actually, it's weird.
	I just heard some peace and freedom.
	I heard that.
	Well, okay.
	Anyway, so there's some kind of movement going, and then the only thing I have left over is, welcome to your future, slave!
	We're seeing fights like this go viral.
	I don't have a mask!
	Where businesses find themselves, at times, in verbal or physical confrontations with customers.
	My doctor would not let me wear masks!
	Trying to enforce mask requirements, often under state or county orders.
	They're horrifying videos.
	You know, they're horrifying.
	They're just...
	They're not fun.
	Steve Reinhardt is CEO of Robotic Assistance Devices, and he's trying to take the ugliness out of these encounters by deploying a robot.
	We developed a face mask analytic, so we can either say, look for people with face masks on, look for people without face masks on.
	They call the robot ROSA, which means Responsive Observation Security Agent.
	When ROSA recognizes a person about to enter a business without a mask, you hear and see the warning immediately.
	It is a non-biased, non-confrontational approach to reminding people to, you know, wear their face mask.
	The robot's creator acknowledges someone could choose to ignore the messages.
	But he says businesses are bracing for the possibility they'll have to enforce COVID-19 safety measures for years to come.
	And they hope to avoid scenes like this.
	You have a machine tell you to do something.
	It blows my mind that the level of compliance is just skyrocketing.
	I love that.
	That's the guy that owned the CEO of the company.
	He says, when a machine tells people to do it, the level of compliance has just blown him away.
	How about that?
	Wow.
	That's like the overhead drone.
	Yes, the same thing.
	Exactly.
	Social distance.
	Social distance.
	I know.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, and so it begins.
	Well, I do one intermediate observation here based on something.
	I've been watching this for a while.
	Since you mentioned China, this is China-related.
	So the Independent out of the UK is pretty much on the heels of The Guardian as a Trump-hating nexus.
	Sure.
	And I think it's because they're going to try to roll out a U.S. version, something the way the Guardian has.
	You know, Guardian is actually a hybrid.
	It's half of it in the United States.
	Right, in the U.S., yeah.
	And the rest of it used to be originally when I was a kid.
	It was a very highly regarded paper called the Manchester Guardian.
	It was printed and appeared in the United States as a kind of an onion skin paper.
	It was very strange.
	Hmm.
	And it was considered one of the great newspapers of the world at the time.
	And then it became very socialist-oriented with a whole bunch of socialist columns, and they took over the place.
	Now it's just a Trump-hating vehicle.
	The Independent's much the same.
	But I'm reading the latest crazy story in The Independent, and I'll read the headline, Trump had public meltdown over a missed phone call from Putin, former No.
	10 aide says.
	Oh, my.
	And the story is about, apparently, a dinner or something that was going on with Theresa May in Washington.
	This was a while ago, obviously.
	And it was Trump, apparently somebody passed away.
	I'll just read this.
	Mr.
	Timothy, working for May, says, a fairly extraordinary lunch during which Mr.
	Trump shouted at his then-National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn.
	Mm-hmm.
	Quote, somebody just mentioned it passing that Vladimir Putin had asked for a call with him.
	Right in front of us, he absolutely shouted down Mike Flynn.
	Like, really shouted.
	This was at a former dinner, it was a lunch a minute ago, but not to dinner, with butlers and fancy crockery, and he was properly shouting him down at the table.
	I've never heard about this.
	This is a while ago, but you think you would.
	They keep reading about what a dick he is, and Flynn was just apparently a wimp for putting up with it.
	All of a sudden, the article says, Ms.
	May's senior aide said he was surprised his former boss allowed Huawei a role in developing Britain's 5G infrastructure, criticizing her 2019 decision to approve the Chinese firm as very, very unwise.
	He described Miss May as being a Sino-skeptic during her time in charge.
	He goes on and he changes his tone saying, unwise meaning it was unwise to reject Huawei.
	Right.
	He said a former George Osborne.
	I don't know what this has to do with Trump shouting down Michael Flynn.
	Otherwise people won't read it.
	You've got to have Trump in there if you want people to read the article.
	George Osborne had been mistaken in developing a strategy to make China's best friend.
	He said the problem is that you can't go all in with China without undermining your security relationship.
	And then he goes on and it just drifts off.
	and I couldn't figure out what the point of it was at all but I would keep an eye on this paper by the way just because they're up to something and this was a little like throw down with China look we need some money okay I'm with you look China we're going to start talking about you a little bit but you know it could go either way let us know how you feel about that I
	That's the way I'm seeing it.
	You're going to start seeing, if you start seeing anything pro-China and the independent...
	Then you've got to think about it.
	I did have late breaking news and a deconstruction from the former New York banker.
	Oh, I need this.
	You do.
	So this is from the Wall Street Journal headline, Fed unanimously approved shift on inflation goal ushering in long era of low rates.
	Subhead, the Federal Reserve unanimously approved on Thursday a new strategy that will effectively set aside a practice it has followed for more than three decades to preemptively lift interest rates to head off higher inflation.
	So the New York Bank, and in the article the word symmetrically is used, and so he deconstructed this whole thing in two sentences for us.
	Targeting inflation symmetrically means low rates for a long time.
	Average interest rate for debt is now around 2%, down from 8% in the 90s.
	We can borrow much more for the same interest expense, and when the average interest rate drops from here, we'll borrow even more.
	MMT is here to stay.
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Sounds like something like that's going on.
	That could be related to the slow eight-car Zephyr.
	Or...
	It's eight cars, but it's slow.
	Now, because he sent this to me, I have to mention today...
	According to the stories I've been hearing for a year, if not longer now, in relation to the cryptocurrency Ripple, which is also known as XRP, that today, August 27th, the quantum financial system will go into use.
	And this is a fantastic story about a new blockchain-oriented global platform A monetary system, very analogous to Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency,
	and it will replace the SWIFT system, which is currently used, and of course we use that as a weapon, and so we cut people out of it like Iran.
	They can't use it because they've been bad boys and girls.
	And to back this up, They have all kinds of documents referring to things like, actually from the Office of the Currency Comptroller, on their website, a PDF, and this has been given to me several times as proof.
	You can tell from my scorny voice, I'm very skeptical about this.
	I would have been all in five, six years ago, but you have completely ruined me in this regard.
	And the idea is...
	That this is going to be a global currency which will be used for citizens to receive and send money to their government as well as peer-to-peer with no transaction fees, interestingly enough, and it will be pegged to the gold standard which has been Trump's evil plan all along.
	It was supposed to happen today.
	This is part of the global reset.
	So keep your eye on it.
	The best part is that, and people say this with a straight face, and I'm not scoffing at them because this has come from financial people, from lawyers.
	They've heard it from their accountants.
	Several people sent this to me.
	As a kicker, this blockchain also has nodes that are located off-world.
	So, I can't wait to see the global reset take place.
	This sounds like a lot of fun.
	And, you know, it's not like the elites haven't called for a global reset or a financial reset.
	It's not like this hasn't been discussed out in the open by, you know, World Economic Forum.
	I just love that, you know, this was the story behind Ripple for a long time.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's going to be something really special.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, no, I hear you.
	I'm even thereminning myself on this one, but I want it to be true.
	I really do.
	Off-world.
	Off-world.
	That's the giveaway.
	I know, it's like everything is believable, but then when the off-world things come in, I'm like, well, now you're on my turf.
	Now I got a problem with your story, dammit.
	Anyway, I'd like to say that what you're hearing about the news and how the media reports things in the United States is exactly the same everywhere else.
	Go to France 24, go to RT, go to Sky News.
	It's all the same.
	It's all the same political bullcrap about...
	Treatments and vaccines and shutdowns and lockdowns and fines and shut up slave.
	And above all, it's about Build Back Better.
	Even the Dutch now have a Build Back Better going on.
	And this is related directly to the Green New Deal.
	If you go to buildbackbetter.co.uk or maybe.uk.org, I think.
	The Green...
	Wait, no, I'm sorry.
	Green New Deal.
	Here it is.
	Green New Deal.
	That's D-E-A-L, not D-I-L-L,.uk.org, I think is what it is.
	They...
	Here's their About page.
	We believe...
	So this is Build Back Better.
	I'm sorry.
	BuildBackBetter.uk.org.
	There we go.
	We believe working together will give us the best chance of succeeding in this moment.
	This is a movement made up of organizations and groups from many different places.
	We are teachers, healthcare workers, students, and organizers who are fighting for change.
	No financial information, obviously.
	As a campaign, we are run by a steering group.
	So Build Back Better is run by a steering group.
	The campaign was initiated...
	So is the No Agenda show.
	The campaign was initiated and is currently coordinated by Green New Deal UK. Stop, stop, stop.
	You gotta stop.
	But...
	Is there some...
	Steering groups...
	This is high school stuff we're talking about here.
	When you're in a high school, they talk about steering groups.
	When does steering groups become something that's important to the conversation?
	Oh, we're run by steering groups.
	This is bullshit.
	Steering groups?
	Are you kidding me?
	Go back and start reading it again from the beginning because it's dumb.
	It's like very, very, it's juvenile.
	Steering groups?
	My experience is a steering group is when everyone tries to grab the wheel and you crash.
	We believe working together will give us the best chance of succeeding in this moment.
	This is a movement made up of organizations and groups from many different places.
	We are teachers, healthcare workers, students and organizers who are fighting for change.
	As a campaign, we are run by a steering group.
	The campaign was initiated and is currently coordinated by Green New Deal UK, working with a growing range of groups and organizations.
	The campaign is drawing existing funding from the European Climate Foundation and the Oak Foundation.
	That's who's sponsoring Build Back Better.
	Along with, this is a steering group, Green New Deal UK, Med Act, Greenpeace, Greener Jobs Alliance, Public and Commercial Services Union, UK School Climate Network, Joint Council for Warfare and Immigrants Workforce, and the New Economics Foundation, Friends of the Earth, 350.org.
	So that's what is behind all of this.
	All of this Build Back Better.
	Here's the Netherlands.
	I have the same...
	It's the same bunch of boneheads.
	Yes, it is.
	350.org, that guy.
	But they've all got, I mean, the connecting everything, build back better, is a political statement.
	This is like, what is it, Terminator 3, where he had this guy who was made out of liquid metal, and all of a sudden it would all come back together and he'd reform?
	It's like all these little organizations, 350 and all the rest of them, and they're all forming one monster.
	Yeah.
	I'm going to take you right into the political stuff with this little set.
	So first we start by realizing that coronavirus is connected and is now openly being connected to climate change.
	And you're crazy if you don't see that.
	Yeah, you are.
	You're crazy if you don't see it.
	You're crazy!
	Build Back Better is the theme that connects building back from coronavirus to climate change.
	Exactly what we expected.
	We've now been taught how to be afraid.
	Yeah, we predict this.
	By saying they're going to die.
	You transfer it.
	You transfer it.
	You make them afraid of this, and you transfer it.
	They weren't afraid enough about climate change.
	It was going nowhere.
	They were losing out after ClimateGate and some of these other things.
	Big problem.
	Big problem.
	They got that behind them, and they couldn't get the fear level back up.
	Now you got them.
	So they're fearful, and they're afraid of their own shadows, and you just transfer that fear from COVID to climate change.
	You just make it, okay, you're fearful.
	It's actually...
	You connect it to, and by the way, I don't want to tell them how to do their job, but I do have one little tip they could have used.
	They haven't used it.
	It's probably too late, which is during the Black Plague, there was a climate change taking place during the Black Plague, and because the temperatures had gone up a couple of degrees.
	Oh, I hear you.
	They could blame COVID on climate change.
	That's what they haven't done.
	What such an easy one.
	Yeah, I thought it was an easy one and I was afraid to mention it, but now it's like a little late in the game.
	What do you mean?
	The Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group.
	We could have done it.
	We could have hammered that shit.
	They would have been way ahead of the game with our help.
	Instead, Gavin Newsom, where he could have used our strategy, had to connect it to, you know, heat.
	One thing we do know, however, is we dealt with an unprecedented number of lightning strikes, some 14,000.
	What we do know is we dealt with unprecedented weather, heat dome on the west coast of the United States.
	What we do know is we had 130 degree weather here in the state of California, which arguably, if it's not a world record, it's very close to being the hottest.
	That's what I like so much about it.
	It's the hottest ever.
	It's never happened.
	Of course it's in Death Valley.
	It's in Death Valley.
	Who cares?
	Well, he's got to use it.
	The hottest recorded temperature in modern world history.
	We do know that it impacted In terms of our capacity to even provide the energy needs, not only here in this state, but put pressure even outside this state.
	So that is somewhat anomalous.
	It's anomalous in the context of what we grew up with decades ago.
	They're almost becoming exceptions more like the rule.
	And as a consequence, it begs the question, is what the scientists have been saying, 98 plus 99 percent of them, for decades...
	Can I stop this and bring in a fact?
	Yeah, sure.
	July 10th, 1913.
	Death Valley again.
	134 degrees in 1913.
	Fact check!
	Lie!
	Gavin Newsom, lie!
	It's a lie!
	How come no one's pointing out this lie?
	Lie, lie, lie, lie!
	Lie, lie!
	That was our impression of the mainstream media.
	Participants saying 98 plus, 99% of them for decades taking shape.
	Is it in fact true that they no longer have asserted a point of view?
	They've proven their point of view.
	I would argue they have proven their point of view.
	I am not in denial about climate change.
	As I said the other day, Mother Nature has joined the conversation.
	It is overwhelming, the evidence.
	If you don't believe in climate change, please come to the state of California and we will re-educate you or ultimately enlighten you.
	Wow!
	Come to California.
	We...
	Please come to the state of California and we will re-educate you or ultimately enlighten you as to the consequences of the earth and its temperatures increasing and the consequences that are having in terms of droughts, not just wildfires, as well as floods.
	Okay, I have an idea.
	This is easily executable and we have the producers.
	This is, after all, the best podcast in the universe.
	We have the producers to do this.
	I would like a pre...
	A preprint study.
	That's what we get all the time, and it's always, oh, that's not scientific.
	Doesn't matter in this case.
	A preprint study that just has a whole bunch of word salad in there that shows that climate change and the increase in temperature is the direct cause of COVID. And let's just get it out there, see what happens.
	I mean, we might as well show how good we are.
	You know, for the exit strategy.
	It's just a thought.
	Just a thought.
	We can do that.
	It's still very doable.
	Yeah, you know, put a couple of doctor names, affiliations, you know, a statement of no conflict.
	Ah, it's going to be fantastic.
	We should really consider that.
	Last one on Build Back Better, even though Boris Johnson uses it himself, our favorite comedian news guy, Jonathan Pye, did his little rant about the Biden campaign slogan.
	Sorry, what's his slogan?
	Well, you know, like Biden for America.
	What's his slogan?
	Build back what?
	Better?
	Better?
	Better build what?
	Build back better.
	That's awful!
	I mean, what does that even...
	Build back better?
	You sure about that?
	I mean, with a campaign slogan as catchy as that, how can he lose?
	Build back.
	It's almost as bad as I'm with her.
	You know, I'm with her, i.e.
	it's all about me.
	Hand me the crown that is rightfully mine.
	Build back better.
	Make America great again.
	Superb campaign slogans.
	Brilliant.
	It says nothing and yet says everything.
	You know, Obama.
	Hope.
	Brilliant.
	Doesn't mean anything.
	Hope.
	It's a concept.
	It's a dream.
	Like making America great again.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	You're not promising anything.
	It's just concepts.
	Even Lock Her Up had a certain charm.
	Lock her up!
	You can't or you won't.
	Doesn't matter.
	Let's shout it anyway.
	Drain the swamp.
	Another good one.
	And he has, hasn't he?
	Lock her up.
	You never know.
	It's like, is that real?
	It's so good.
	I like that so much.
	Just remember, ladies and gentlemen, here in the United States, we have an age-old tradition.
	We elect our leaders.
	We choose our leaders the same way we do our laundry soap.
	We look at the marketing.
	We let the messages influence us.
	And we've seen quite a bit of it this past week, John.
	Quite a bit of what?
	Of laundry soap marketing.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, there's always that.
	Oh, you mean you're talking about the Republican Convention?
	Yeah, yeah.
	I told you I'd take you into the politics.
	Yeah, one giant infomercial.
	Yeah.
	But I'll tell you this.
	Just overall, I've been watching both.
	I've watched both of these things.
	Television perspective?
	The Republican one, I thought it was better presented.
	That's debatable.
	And I thought it was much more up-tempo.
	It was more upbeat.
	Yeah.
	It was positive.
	It had a positive vibe.
	It wasn't like dour and downtrodden.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm going to have to stop you right there.
	I'm sorry.
	I need to stop you for a supercut.
	Yes, I need to stop you for an M5M supercut.
	Oh, the M5M. Well, I want to hear this.
	Here's your M5M supercut about...
	The light nature of the RNC. Dark.
	Dark, divisive version of America.
	Dark and distorted version of reality.
	Dark, dystopian view of America.
	Dark warning.
	Dark and sad.
	Dark and divisive.
	The first night of the convention, it really took a dark turn.
	It was very ominous.
	Painting a dark picture.
	But a lot of people saw a very dark picture.
	Dark and dystopian.
	Absolutely dark.
	Dark portrait of America.
	Darkness, doom, and gloom.
	It quickly turned very dark.
	Pretty bleak, dark, and scary.
	There were certainly a lot of dark and dire pronouncements.
	Pretty dark business well.
	Yeah, it's darkness and fear.
	Some of the speakers were quite dark.
	But there were also dark appeals to the president's base.
	As for the Biden campaign, it did release a statement calling the first night of the RNC dark and divisive.
	Well, I think, by the way, that last little part of the super clips is what triggered the rest of it.
	It was the DNC's press release saying it was dark and divisive.
	So everyone's, oh yeah, that's what it was.
	Even though I don't know how many people actually watch it.
	Now I know...
	The thing that's interesting is, if you recall, in 2016, I think after one of the debates, Scott Adams identified this as some kind of super persuasion, a super persuader who would put the Democrats up to using the word dark, and what I think is they've overplayed their hand.
	They've just pulled it out again, and Come on, I mean, even Rolf had to say it was well produced.
	You know, there was some actual CNN actually saying, oh, it wasn't all that crazy, really.
	This is true.
	I mean, they did blast the individuals, and Tapper came out and said, well, today's speakers include Donald Trump Jr.
	A liar!
	Oh, no!
	I wish I had that clip.
	I was just watching.
	I jaw dropped.
	But let's listen to what NPR thought of the whole thing.
	Day two, we already got through day one.
	Now we're going into day two, and we're expecting an analysis of some sort, maybe an overall...
	You know, she did well, he did well, she didn't do well, I didn't like the way this speech went.
	No, no, no.
	Let's listen to how NPR saw day two.
	Days after unveiling the replanting of the Rose Garden, the First Lady used it as the backdrop for a political speech.
	Yeah, in a departure from tradition, she turned federal property to her husband's personal political use.
	She acknowledged the crisis overshadowing the President's re-election campaign.
	I know many people are anxious.
	Now Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also spoke from Jerusalem.
	He was on an official trip, though he maintains it was his personal time.
	It was the first time in 75 years a sitting Secretary of State addressed a national political convention.
	His predecessors had said their job was to speak for the country, not for a party.
	NPR National Political Correspondent Mara Liason is on the line.
	Mara, good morning.
	Hi, Steve.
	The First Lady's speech was maybe the centerpiece of the evening.
	What stood out to you about it?
	What stood out to me was that she didn't downplay the pandemic.
	She didn't call it an offensive nickname.
	She was trying to make it clear, make the argument that the president takes it seriously, something he doesn't always convey himself.
	She even said, quote, Use my time attacking the other side because that just divides the country.
	She also acknowledged racial unrest.
	She clearly understood the two top worries for the voters the Trump campaign wants to reach and win back, suburban women.
	She also spoke in front of a small cheering crowd without masks, which is unusual.
	And that raised some ethical and legal concerns because she was speaking from the Rose Garden, which is part of the official White House complex and is not supposed to be used for partisan political events.
	Before we get into that, just back to the television production, the differences in production, which was...
	What I was hearing after the DNC was, oh, you know, Trump is scrambling, he's doing all these other things, it's not going to be that great...
	The production...
	Well, the difference is in production.
	We were just talking about it.
	So, clearly someone was given a mission and power to create whatever the vision was for the RNC televised, streamed convention.
	And I hear that it's possibly two top producers from Burnett's shop who did that, which makes sense.
	Yeah, I heard that too.
	The DNC, to me, is emblematic...
	Of a bunch of people, you have Hollywood producers, directors, actors, you've got the top of the line, you've got all the money people, everything you need, and they were in a steering committee.
	Spielberg, for God's sake.
	And the steering committee.
	No one is empowered.
	No one's really in charge.
	They're probably all over-socialized and afraid to offend.
	Oh, I don't want to offend you.
	They can't just say, fuck it, this is no good, let's do it like this.
	Television is a contact sport.
	It's hardcore.
	Yes, we discuss this on this show a lot.
	Yeah, and you're going to be talked to strictly and curtly, and sometimes it'll hurt.
	That's a burn, Curry.
	That sucked.
	You can't say that.
	We'll do it again.
	I can ask once or twice why, but at certain points, like, the crew will look at me like, shut up.
	We want to go home.
	Yeah, we want to go home.
	Or, or, or, or, if I could move it to a meal penalty, they kind of like me for that.
	So it was very, very difficult, difficult.
	Last night, I mean, the second night was just fantastic.
	I thought the way the First Lady, that production was top-notch.
	Oh, yeah, they had cameras at the...
	This is Burnett again, because this is like a...
	It's like the survivor.
	It's like, here comes the bachelorette.
	You know, it was beautiful.
	Yeah, and because you have a camera position here and there.
	You never saw these cameras, by the way, from the deep shot.
	Well, you know, they had to rip away Michelle Obama's crabapple trees for the camera.
	So it's such a horrible, horrible...
	Which is probably why they ripped them out.
	They had...
	It was...
	You're right.
	It was like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette.
	It was, you know, where this phone call...
	Somebody picks up the phone and the camera's right there on her.
	And you don't think that that's fishy.
	Nobody thinks any of this is fishy.
	It was extremely high-end production compared to the Democrats, who have Spielberg, for God's sake.
	And just the props...
	This, I think, was a great speech by the First Lady.
	The only thing she's being criticized for is her outfit.
	It was too militaristic, whatever.
	I would criticize her because I still think her accent is annoying.
	Well, you and Bette Midler, buddy.
	She literally got burned on Twitter for saying that.
	Yeah, well...
	Hey, artwork, everybody.
	There you go.
	You are the wind beneath her wings.
	You and Bette Midler.
	Really?
	I think it's cute.
	Hey, Bette, how are you doing?
	I think it's kind of cute.
	I mean, it's what it is.
	Now, I agree 100%.
	I think this is one of the finest...
	Considering what their limitations were, and all NPR could come up with was, well, there's a violation of the Hatch Act.
	In fact, if we want to go in that direction, I want you to play Amy's version of the Hatch Act violation.
	The Trump administration is facing accusations that's broken the law by using the powers of the federal government to aid the president's re-election campaign.
	During the second night of the Republican National Convention, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed the convention while on a work trip in Israel in an apparent violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from participating in political activities.
	Democrats are now investigating.
	Two parts of Tuesday's convention were filmed inside the White House.
	Trump pardoned a convicted bank robber who went on to start a non-profit to help formerly incarcerated people reintegrate into society.
	Trump, along with acting Homeland Security Director Chad Wolf, held a naturalization ceremony inside the White House for five immigrants from Bolivia, Lebanon, India, Sudan, and Ghana.
	The evening ended with a speech by First Lady Melania Trump in the White House Rose Garden.
	Melania Trump spoke in front of a live audience It looked like several hundred in the Rose Garden, where the vast majority of the attendees, including President Trump and Mike Pence, did not wear masks.
	CNN reports many attendees were not tested for coronavirus prior to the event.
	Alright.
	I need to play.
	I got Yamiche.
	I got a Yamiche clip.
	I'm so proud.
	It's not easy for me to get a Yamiche clip.
	That's usually your beat.
	So we had last night was Trump loves chicks.
	Women are empowered.
	Women rock.
	Trump gives them all the opportunity.
	There's more women in senior positions.
	I mean, this is what the message was.
	I did not go ahead and fact check it for you.
	Tuesday night was all about Trump's not a racist.
	He's not a racist.
	He's not a racist, man.
	We got everybody coming on.
	Herschel Walker is not a racist.
	Just not a racist, not a racist.
	Well, this did not set well with Judy and Yamiche.
	Yamiche, what we are seeing is an aggressive attempt on the part of this party and of President Trump to say, I'm not a racist.
	We heard that from Herschel Walker a few minutes ago.
	We're hearing now from State Representative Jones of Georgia Saying this president does have support among black Americans to push back on the narrative that they say is not the whole picture about him.
	That's right.
	And the Republican Party as a whole in 2012 did a really long autopsy trying to figure out how to expand their base and how to diversify the party.
	Then came Donald Trump and he did the exact opposite of what the party said.
	He focused on racial division.
	He focused on immigration.
	He called immigrants rapists and criminals.
	He said we needed more police, not less police.
	And then, of course, while he's in office, President Trump has really, really beat up on the Black Lives Matter movement.
	He's called people anarchists.
	He's called them not good for America.
	He's really called into question whether or not people should be taken to the streets after we see deaths like Jacob Blake in Wisconsin or George Floyd in Minnesota.
	So the RNC tonight is really trying to push back on that notion.
	But critics of President Trump say that no matter what people around him say, the president himself has really been the person giving his critics their ammunition.
	We can think back to his response after Charlottesville when he said there are very fine people that don't.
	No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
	You blew the kicker, bro.
	Then the person giving his critics their ammunition We can think back to his response after Charlottesville when he said there are very fine people that go to Nazi rallies and even...
	It's new!
	New and improved!
	There's not very fine people.
	Holy shit!
	There's not very fine people on two sides.
	I missed this.
	It's very fine people at the Nazi rally.
	Nazi rally.
	Very fine people go to Nazi rallies.
	How does this woman have work?
	How is she even in the business?
	She's the worst journalist ever.
	There are plenty of very fine black reporters that should have her job.
	Let's hear it one more time.
	Giving his critics their ammunition.
	We can think back to his response after Charlottesville when he said there are very fine people that go to Nazi rallies.
	And even now, as we're in the midst of this racial reckoning, he's talking about the idea that he doesn't think that police reform or systemic racism is as widespread as Democrats may be out to the scene.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Okay, Clip of the Day.
	Thank you.
	I was waiting for it.
	I think that's appropriate.
	Clip of the Day.
	From Yamiche No Less.
	I gotta send that to Scott Adams.
	That is the best version of Very Fine People I've ever heard.
	Yamiche No Less on PBS. On PBS, your national treasure.
	Wow!
	Yeah, it's beauty, isn't it?
	Okay, I want to go back to something in the first clip that we drifted away from.
	It was the comment from NPR that Pompeo, when he gave his speech, was the first time.
	And they mentioned he fought for 75 years.
	And everybody wants to avoid doing it.
	Well, 75 years ago, we're talking about the 1946 election against Dewey.
	And 75 years ago, the only person that was Secretary of State was Truman's Secretary of State.
	So the last person to do this was Truman.
	Uh-huh.
	And before that, it was not uncommon.
	It was Eisenhower who killed the practice.
	And then since then, no one has done it since.
	No one's had the guts to do it.
	And the longer you wait, the harder it is.
	So Trump reintroduces the practice that Truman was the last guy to do.
	I just thought that should have been mentioned, but nobody said anything.
	Well, Tuesday, really, the Tuesday airing was the trigger fest.
	I mean, it was just...
	With the naturalization...
	Excuse me.
	Ah, Rona.
	With the naturalization of the new citizens, what else?
	The pardoning.
	I think the first night...
	The pardoning was great.
	The first night was Trump just doing, like, a talk show.
	It's like, with doctors and nurses, eh, what are you feeling?
	I mean...
	Okay, we are unaffiliated on this show and have always been.
	That's why I can tell you from donating to both campaigns that not only did Trump ratchet that shit up to seven times match, but so did Joe Biden!
	Also seven times match.
	What does that even mean?
	It's bullcrap.
	I told you what it is.
	There's money that is unaffiliated because the person or the organization doesn't want their name connected to the donation, so the way they get around the reporting requirements, some loophole lets you use that cash in someone else's name with a match.
	I think seven times is kind of stretching it a little bit, if you don't mind me saying.
	I agree.
	But what I saw, so I preface this by saying, in America, we elect our leaders the same way we buy our soap, washing soap.
	And I think Trump will win, including the popular vote.
	And I've been picking hits all my life, whether it's songs or news stories or technologies.
	You've been picking your nose.
	I said it in 2015 when everyone was laughing.
	It'll be just as good for this show if Biden wins.
	Oh, it might even be better.
	It might even be better.
	I think it might be better.
	But also, the country won't be lost if he doesn't win.
	The country is better than that.
	I like the...
	The concept that what they're doing, and they kind of grudgingly admit that it's a little better than the horrible Democrat convention, where people are literally sitting on their couches at home, poorly mic'd, giving a speech.
	Crappy audio.
	Wait.
	You have to hear the response after the he's not a racist night from CNN. Okay.
	This is great.
	In terms of what the Republicans were accomplishing this evening, what they tried to accomplish, you're right, Wolf.
	I think they definitely were trying to appeal to the base.
	Obviously, they were showing a lot of diversity in the people that they had speak this evening.
	It's not...
	Representative of the Republican Party as a whole, certainly not representative of the Republican Party or the Trump administration here in Washington, D.C. How much do you think of some of this tonight was sort of giving permission to more moderate white voters that, you know, it's okay for you to vote for Donald Trump despite his rhetoric on his, you know, some of his racist rhetoric over the last three years?
	Yeah, I mean, I think that is often what it's about.
	It's sort of an indirect appeal to white voters when you kind of put black issues, black people, black Republicans, on front and center, as we saw happen tonight.
	Nikki Haley, obviously, a woman of color, and then Tim Scott, and then a couple of other African Americans.
	I mean, on the whole, the Hogan Party actually isn't very diverse.
	It sort of seemed a little diverse tonight with Tim Scott making that final sort of keynote address and then Nikki Haley making a kind of keynote address.
	But by and large, you know, this is a party that is right now based on sort of white identitarianism.
	You know, they can just say they feel that they were tokens.
	That's what they're saying.
	They're too chicken shit to say it.
	They're just tokens.
	They're just tokens.
	Yeah, they're just tokens.
	Tokens.
	Tokens.
	So insult.
	Even to say that is insulting.
	How dumb are these people?
	That's what's starting to be picked up.
	Yes.
	Yes, of course.
	As a break here, I want to play a C-SPAN call.
	This was a woman who came in on the Democrat line.
	I believe she's not a phony.
	You know, a lot of people call on the other line and pretend to be one thing or another.
	Uh-huh.
	And I think this harkens back onto your concept that it's really about selling soap.
	And if you look at the Republican convention, it's slick.
	It's the infomercial.
	It's well done.
	It's the phony baloney reality TV. You nailed it.
	It's Burnett's people.
	There's no doubt about it.
	And let's listen to this caller.
	And I think she's sincere.
	Yes.
	I'm a Democrat, and our convention last week is no comparison to what I've seen in just the last two nights.
	What do you mean?
	I'm from Minnesota, where all these riots and looting and the burning started, and...
	I mean, not a mention about us last week, about saving our communities, helping our homeless, rebuilding our businesses.
	And this convention, just in the last two nights, has awakened me that there is hope, that there are people that are willing to fight for us people in our communities.
	Barb, are you in the Twin Cities area or outside?
	In the Twin Cities.
	Right outside the Twin Cities.
	Have some of the protests, have they frightened you?
	Oh, absolutely.
	They've been, you know, seven miles away with a new John Johnson of our party going into a neighborhood with 200 of Black Lives Matter supporters and terrorizing innocent neighbors in a community.
	It is scary.
	Alright.
	And Barb, we're going to have to leave it there.
	Thank you for calling in to everybody this evening.
	We'll be back again tomorrow night.
	I really believe, and this is just, as a television guy, I think it supersedes everything.
	Television and imagery supersedes in the American public.
	Don't underestimate the American public.
	That's a big mistake.
	It's a huge mistake.
	Yeah, I mean, look at what's popular on television.
	I know very intelligent children in their 20s who love...
	Look at the number one show!
	Is it not Bachelor, Bachelorette?
	It's what it is!
	It's that theme, it's that vibe, it's the smoothness, it's every element.
	The only thing that really, really was so wrong was Judge Jeanine 2.0.
	I mean, I can just see Don Jr.
	going, yo, yo, Kim, chill, baby.
	Down 50 dBs.
	The dog biscuits are blowing me away.
	That was wrong.
	So let's float back to NPR. And they had this Trump hater and very well-known...
	Democrat strategist Paul Begala talking about the RNC event.
	And I just thought this would be worth listening to.
	I want you to know you're not alone.
	And we should note this adds a message for the Republicans.
	Other convention speakers who've mentioned the pandemic have generally praised the president for successfully fighting it in their view.
	How did Melania do?
	I thought she did very well.
	I thought she was the best speaker last night.
	Unfair to compare her to Michelle Obama or Jill Biden at the Democratic Convention, but it is interesting.
	Dr.
	Biden used her time.
	To humanize her husband, to tell the story of how their family had been shattered by tragedy and how they knitted it back together, using that as a metaphor for what she hopes her husband can do for the country.
	Mrs.
	Trump didn't go that route.
	She at least was the only person who spoke from the reality-based world, though.
	We're in the middle of a pandemic and you would have never known it.
	I'm glad she did that.
	And it was noteworthy that she was, to me, as somebody who used to work in that White House, speaking from the parking lot, formerly known as the Rose Garden.
	I'm not very happy with her aesthetic, but I did like her speech.
	Well, let's talk about the location, because that was one of several questions about this.
	We have Melania Trump from the Rose Garden.
	Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke from Jerusalem while on an official trip.
	Now, he said he did it on his own time.
	Our correspondent Mara Liason has noted that the laws on this are weak.
	It's hard to say, you know, these people should go to jail or something, but there are laws and prohibitions against using federal property for personal political purposes.
	Not many.
	No, I do because I'm a nerd.
	But I think it would be unwise for the Democrats to fixate on that too much because we're in a pandemic.
	I think the Democrats ought to say, look, the president should speak from a COVID ward.
	He should speak from an ICU unit.
	He should speak from a morgue.
	From a morgue!
	The president should speak from a morgue.
	Oh, I think it's a rare double clip of the day.
	Clip of the day.
	Now, that is advice you will never get from the Curry-Dvorak Consulting Group, Mr.
	President.
	No, but that's his advice.
	Obviously, he's still plugged into the machine, and so we have not seen the Democrats hound the president about the fact that he did the Rose Garden.
	The media is.
	The M5M. The media is doing it.
	Right, the media has begged off on it.
	NPR has not.
	I got story after story with their moaning and groaning, but NPR's influence is nil.
	And they got a lot of air time to fill, so they got to do something.
	What's the story of the day?
	I think Begala is correct that this is nothing to harp on, and the fact that Pompeo spoke is, so what?
	It's kind of a so what moment.
	But that brings me to one of the WTF This is a Pence, a very short clip from NPR, and I want you to listen to this carefully, and this is a total, what?
	What?
	What?
	They quote, you just have to listen to this clip, it just makes zero sense.
	Vice President Mike Pence often quotes the Bible in his speeches.
	Pence referenced this passage in the Old Testament during a surprise visit to the Republican National Convention on Monday.
	I just can't help but think of those ancient words.
	Who am I? And who is my family that you've brought us this far?
	And I want to thank you for the honor of this day.
	Pence has helped President Trump shore up white evangelical voters.
	And as the Vice President gets ready to address the GOP convention tonight, NPR Sarah McCammon speaks with some of those evangelical voters.
	Okay.
	What was the point of that quote?
	Not sure.
	They dropped this crazy quote in.
	Oh, Pence, oh, he's a Bible thumper.
	Oh, Pence is a thump on a Bible.
	I guess.
	And here he is again.
	And he said this.
	And then they played this innocuous, I don't even know what it means.
	It probably could be, you know, it's probably interpretable.
	I learned something about Pence that somehow I did not know.
	But it put everything about Mike Pence into perspective for me.
	He's a radio guy.
	This is a radio guy.
	A radio guy playing vice president.
	He's brilliant.
	He is a radio nerd like us.
	Except, you know, he's more the, I'm Mike Pence, good morning.
	What?
	Yes, his career was in radio.
	What?
	Yes!
	What was this?
	That's the whole, did you watch last night?
	No.
	Dun, dun, dun.
	Nasty boys and nasty girls.
	You gotta...
	Oh, no.
	This was what tripped me out.
	They did this whole, you know, the bio piece.
	Is that why he's got that voice?
	Yes, everybody.
	It's Mike Pence in the morning.
	Yeah, look at his career.
	It'll trip you out.
	Life and early background, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	Early career.
	Ah...
	I'm just looking at Wikipedia.
	I can't find it.
	But they had...
	There was this whole bit of...
	And they had him doing Good Morning Indiana.
	So now I know.
	This is...
	Even the name...
	Mike Pence in the morning.
	This is a radio guy.
	And it doesn't mean that he's not sincere or that he's not a good manager.
	I don't know.
	But...
	His whole appearance, everything says, classic radio guy.
	Face perfect for radio.
	Yeah.
	Polished it up a little bit.
	Very interesting.
	It made total sense.
	Total sense.
	Now, yeah, one of the WTF clips, and this is just an 11-second short clip that was just like a...
	It's just a...
	You just have to play it.
	As the Republican National Convention kicked off Monday, the Republican Party announced it would not adopt a new platform and instead pledged its support to President Donald Trump.
	What?
	She should have used the word fealty.
	What does that even mean?
	They pledged their fealty to Herr Trump.
	I mean, this is the stupidest.
	For one thing, why do they need a new platform?
	It's the same president.
	So they didn't change the platform.
	So what?
	How is that even reportable?
	Here you go.
	Mike Pence radio show from three years ago.
	You're back.
	I can't help myself.
	Memorial Day.
	I know.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Wait, back it up again.
	No, I'm not going to do that.
	You're just stepping all over my clip.
	I'm going to let you go.
	I'm sorry.
	The point is, what is the point of, they pledge their fealty to Trump.
	It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard her say.
	What is fealty?
	Is that alliance?
	That's something you read in a fictional book.
	Oh, I pledge the fealty.
	It's like some sort of...
	Like Harry Potter?
	Like Harry Potter type thing?
	Yeah.
	Game of Thrones?
	To the evil side.
	The Republican Party has pledged their support to Trump.
	It's just ridiculous.
	Anyway, I just...
	Oh, man.
	Yeah, and last night wasn't so enjoyable.
	It just wasn't...
	It was okay.
	The speeches were good and they were personable.
	And I love seeing, you know, whenever you see someone who's, you know, standing up when they clearly shouldn't be.
	And I think it looked like there were some exoskeletons or some really interesting technology the wounded warriors had in the front row at last night's Pence acceptance speech.
	But that, you know, Fort Detrick, that was beautifully lit, too.
	That was, you know, what do we really know about Fort Detrick?
	I thought that was nice to see.
	They got the aerial shots.
	They explained, this is where the Star Spangled Banner was written.
	They had some jib shots of the speech from Melania that were just like, wow!
	They had a crane.
	It wasn't even a jib.
	It was not a jib.
	They had a crane.
	They had a crane shot.
	Yeah.
	That's expensive.
	It was actually just entertaining television.
	The content, you know, okay.
	There was some funny, some, you know, little tearjerker, but at least it flowed over you, not like one non-stop Zoom call.
	It wasn't like a crappy Zoom call.
	It was really...
	It was pretty.
	If you just turned the sound off and watched it, you'd say, wow, this is well done.
	Yeah, but not too much.
	It didn't go...
	Because you have that level with title cards and beauty shots, and they put the light star filter in.
	Well, that's why Burnett's...
	You're right.
	That's why, again, Burnett is the king of this.
	But he didn't go over the top like if you look at Mark Levin, he does the show on Fox.
	Yeah.
	Too much.
	Oh, it's terrible.
	That's like, oh, Republican lettering and everything.
	It's overproduced, he's got a fireplace, the whole, it's stupid.
	Lame, lame, lame, lame.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	No, it was...
	No, Burnett is, to watch a guy that, of course, he's been doing this forever.
	Yeah.
	And he's kind of a screwy guy if you ever see him.
	Oh.
	With his wife.
	Oh, these guys are all whack jobs.
	They gotta be.
	Yeah, he's definitely a whack job, but he's got a sensibility about doing this type of television that is, you want to work for a guy like that just to see what you can learn.
	Meanwhile, the Democrats had Spielberg.
	That's what they got.
	Nothing.
	So here's the hidden message that I picked up, which I think is important for the Trump campaign, is Minnesota and Maine.
	And Minnesota is important.
	That came through to me as we had the farmers, we had a logger, all Minnesotanuts who...
	It was a message to Minnesota.
	Minnesota, Trump is doing good for you.
	And Maine, this has got to do something with some...
	Voodoo electoral college stuff that is being worked on.
	All of a sudden, the Maine lobster guys, you know, they got their turf back that was taken away in the name of protecting something.
	And that was another big message that came through.
	So I think it was, you know, Minnesota and Maine is a big focus for the campaign for Trump and the Republicans.
	And I also realized, I've been to Bemidji, Minnesota.
	I just remembered that.
	Bemidji.
	I heard someone say Bemidji.
	I'm like, I've been to Bemidji, Minnesota.
	You've been to Bemidji.
	I have.
	It was a very bad Top 40 radio station.
	I used to travel around and do the morning show.
	What is Bemidji?
	In Minnesota.
	I don't know.
	I think they have a small airport.
	Is it near one of the lakes?
	That I don't remember.
	I don't remember.
	How can you forget a name like Bemidji?
	My answer would be yes.
	There's 10,000 lakes.
	It's right near the lakes.
	It's right near the lakes.
	A couple other, before we got to take our break, a couple other things.
	Ah!
	Heavy on the school choice.
	Trump has been pushing this real hard, and I think that's a tactical move, which may pay off.
	I think it's a good move.
	With schools not open, or problematic, problems opening schools.
	Vernon Jones, I'd say, that's the Democrat state representative from Georgia, who, I think he literally said, you know, I'm a free man.
	Is it Vernon Jones?
	You sure he got his name right?
	Yeah, Vernon Jones.
	Okay.
	Yeah, Vernon Jones.
	Also, thank you to the First Lady for being pretty much the only person who every single time consistently said our country.
	She may have been hard for you to understand, you and Bette there watching, tweeting each other, but I really appreciated that.
	That was nice.
	You just don't hear it enough.
	Yeah, I agree.
	So that was good.
	And just Pence being a radio guy, it disqualifies him for presidency.
	I'm sorry.
	I will not support Pence, a radio guy.
	We cannot have a radio guy running our country.
	It's just not going to work.
	I know our profile.
	It's not good for us.
	What do you think?
	I am flabbergasted by this, and I don't know, I think there has to have been a radio guy already.
	I mean, there hasn't been enough radios since, I mean, radio really came into vogue in 1919, so since then, I don't know how many radio guys may have snuck in.
	I mean, a podcaster, sure.
	Yeah.
	Well, the podcast is down the road.
	Hey, and with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in convention, ladies and gentlemen, John C. DeVore.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kerr, also in the morning to all the boots on the ground, feeding the air subs in the water.
	And all the dames and knights out there.
	The end of the morning to the trolls in our troll room.
	Let me get a little troll count.
	Hands up, trolls!
	We have 1484.
	We are 16 low, but we also had the slow eight-car Zephyr, so maybe it's connected.
	The trolls, it's a live chat room.
	It's open 24 hours a day, every single day.
	What's the number today?
	It's only 16?
	No, 1484.
	Oh, jeez.
	It's terrible.
	It's the quantum financial reset, baby.
	It's like everyone's off-world.
	They've got no time for the troll room.
	You can go to the troll room by going to noagendastream.com.
	You can listen to this show live.
	We have many shows running on the same feed, 24 hours a day, podcast.
	You can...
	Communicate, talk about it, troll each other, troll live shows, and certainly hit Doug up for an invite to NoAgendaSocial.com, our federated non-algoized social network where you can actually enjoy the signal-to-noise ratio, and that's at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	And we'd like to thank the artist for the artwork for episode 1271.
	We titled that Three Screws.
	This was a John choice.
	You were very adamant, and you really liked it, and I completely agree.
	This was by CZM137. It was a beautiful piece from behind, shot from behind the back of a crowd.
	The crowd's a little bit, you got depth of field out of focus, and the sign being held up is, we need no agenda.
	Technically, I think, a very good piece.
	Very big problem for promotion.
	Yeah, it was because it didn't show up well on Twitter.
	Artists should make a note of what Adam's about to tell you.
	Look at how Twitter, almost any social network, when you post a picture, an image, it will crop that.
	And what you want is the sweet spot.
	You want the main message to pop out in that picture.
	And that frame the social network gives you.
	Because what we saw here was literally two arms and some crowd.
	Which sucked because it's such a great image.
	And it worked really well otherwise.
	And that's like this morning I had the same thing.
	I was looking for a pre-piece of art for the pre-stream.
	And I got one.
	But the big 1272, which in that case for the priest dream I like doing that, didn't show up just like some fire and hell.
	It was not a very inviting thing.
	Hey, we're live!
	Come on over to the fire and hell!
	So, that's just a note.
	Otherwise, I mean, obviously, thank you so much, CZ, and thanks to all the artists.
	You do phenomenal work, and the value that the show gets from doing this is really off the charts.
	And, as promised, great art shows up on cool things.
	Art becomes reality.
	No Agenda Shop tweeted out this morning the Deep State University t-shirt, sweatshirt, and I believe hoodie is now on sale.
	And that's, remember, that was the artwork.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I do remember, as a matter of fact.
	Well, this is where you can get really excited that that's now on sale.
	Oh, I'm digging around.
	Oh, you're digging around.
	Deep State University, I'm just looking at here.
	No hoodies.
	They got a t-shirt.
	By the way, this is not our operation.
	These guys are independent from the show.
	They work with the artists, give the artists a cut, donate a cut to the show.
	They got hats with it.
	Oh, we have tote bags now.
	Oh, boy.
	Party time tote bag.
	Hmm.
	We have Tumblr.
	Oh, no.
	We've got tote bags.
	Hmm.
	Remember the tote bags we never gave out 10 years ago?
	Yeah, the 33 bags.
	Yeah, because they had toxins.
	Chinese toxins.
	Yeah, well, the black ones stunk, too.
	They were just horrible.
	It's like, you can't.
	Enjoy your tote bag.
	Just don't put any fruit or vegetables in it.
	We're not sure.
	It was a great story.
	Eric had these bags and we went like, holy crap, this is toxic.
	I didn't want to give anyone in the house.
	It was so bad.
	Ah, yes.
	That was the end of the 33 tote bags.
	Such a shame.
	Anyway, noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can share your art.
	You can take a look at what's done, and it's amazing how many pieces we get.
	It's part of our value-for-value proposition.
	You get out of it what you put into it, and we really appreciate the executive producers and the associate executive producers who come in with big financial support every single show, and we're going to thank them right now.
	Yeah, let's start off with Deanna Carroll in Laughlin, Nevada.
	Who is, which is just outside of Las Vegas, $828.55.
	And she says, I have emailed full note to John.
	Let me guess.
	There is no note under the subject line, donation.
	There's no note under the subject or under the scent line, Carol or Diana.
	So I don't know what email you use, but let me tell everybody this.
	If you could put this information into the note at PayPal, cut and paste the email into the PayPal.
	You cut it and paste it.
	Because if you hit the return key, it sends it.
	So you just cut and paste the whole thing, drop it in there.
	Because you wrote this, you might as well write the whole thing.
	So I'm not scolding you, but I'm mentioning to people that a lot of people use Jimbo as their email address.
	They don't use their name.
	There's a ban on Jimbo now.
	They don't use their name.
	They use something else.
	And so, yeah, maybe the email note came in earlier.
	I missed it.
	I don't look at everything that comes in necessarily.
	But if you don't have donation in the subject line, that doesn't help.
	There's a bunch of mistakes people make, and then I don't get the email.
	I don't have it either.
	So I feel bad because we only...
	But she has the gist of it here, so I'm not too concerned.
	Yeah, but how do we...
	We don't have a night name?
	Well, maybe it's a surprise.
	Well, I think it is a surprise.
	She's credited to her smoking hot hubby, this donation to Danny Carroll.
	Not only is his 55th birthday, we have him on the list for that, May 28th, but this brings him to the roundtable, so we'll just add him as Sir Danny Carroll to the roundtable.
	I'm all in on that, and if he wants to change it later, that's perfectly okay.
	Yeah, we always do upgrades.
	In fact, unlike Delta, we always do upgrades here at No Agenda.
	Yes, we do.
	Mark in Manhattan's next on the list at $500.
	By the way, besides that gripe, and I'm sorry, Dana, for that, but I have one other gripe coming up.
	Mark in Manhattan, $500.
	Yeah, it's like, you know, you get picky.
	Meanwhile, $500 from Mark.
	Semi-anonymous note, but anyway, it goes on about he's an art generator.
	He goes on about that.
	It's not important.
	I have been a douchebag for far too long.
	This is important.
	I started listening when Adam still lived in Los Angeles.
	That's a long time ago.
	While I've contributed some art and even one piece used for the show, 1263, I've long neglected a proper monetary donation.
	Your reasonable information-based coverage of COVID-19 has been priceless and kept me sane while living through the M5M fear porn coverage of the pandemic in New York City.
	So he's a New Yorker.
	He's in Manhattan.
	He's a Manhattanite.
	Currently suffering through an ongoing lockdown despite having one of the lowest infection rates in the country.
	Seems Cuomo has decided Trump being out of office is the final indicator that will allow New York to open back up.
	With the money from China.
	With the money from China.
	He left that out.
	Please accept $500 to start my long-delayed journey to knighthood.
	No need for jingles, but assuming things are semi-anonymous, I could really use a short shot of karma to help me through an extended legal and financial battle with my horrible ex-wife.
	Holy crap!
	No!
	Oh my gosh!
	Well, yeah, first we're going to deduce.
	You've been deduced.
	There's nothing like a little goat karma for that problem.
	You've got karma.
	That should solve it.
	Next is David Drake at 376.55.
	He brings them halfway tonight.
	I'm glad to know.
	I love what you and John do, although I can feel my amygdala growing larger by the news coming out of Australia regarding invasive monitoring.
	He is, by the way, he's in the United States.
	By the invasive monitoring of citizens, we need to fight against that.
	I'm a Virginia physician, and I have many of, and many of us believe the COVID stuff is overblown.
	Many of the physicians in Virginia, of all places.
	I've attached some recent articles from the last JAMA. Somebody must have pissed off JAMA, which is more an opinion journal these days than a research journal.
	Literally two to one opinion to research articles.
	I don't know how you want these broken down, but this first article, and he goes on with a discussion of the...
	Remdesivir?
	Of rendisivir having no effect.
	I'll just summarize.
	Rendisivir has no effect in studies that prove it.
	Article 2, I wasn't going to read these, I'm going to read them.
	Race and COVID, a study of over 11,000 hospitalized patients with COVID, conclude there's no difference between black and white patients.
	Yes, I have that study in the show notes if anyone wants to see it.
	And then he's got a third one, which is face shields.
	It talks about how the face shields may or may not work, but four workers who became symptomatic.
	This is in India.
	They were all treated with hydroxychloroquine and all four recovered.
	And he says, in speaking with colleagues, this is a doctor.
	Of mine.
	We are both agreed we take hydroxychloroquine if we were COVID positive.
	Yeah.
	Of course.
	Of course they would.
	$376.55.
	Thank you, Dr.
	Drake.
	Andrew Young's next on the list from Cincinnati, Ohio.
	$339.39.
	Thank you both for this show.
	I've been enjoying it for years.
	Keep it up.
	Donation is a gift to myself for my 39th birthday.
	You're on the list Friday, the 28th.
	Also, a shout-out to my tall, shady buddy, Chris, who turns the big 40 next week.
	All right.
	Do we have him on the list, Chris?
	Yeah, I think he is.
	Yep, he's on the list.
	Oh.
	I think...
	Well, hold on.
	I'll double-check.
	Chris...
	I just recall that.
	I'm pretty sure...
	No, so we'll add Chris.
	I'll do that.
	I'll add him to the list.
	Okay, and then he says, jobs karma for everybody.
	Interestingly, Andrew Young isn't even on the list himself.
	What is this?
	He's in yellow.
	He's not on the list.
	What is this?
	Okay.
	Andrew Young.
	I'll tell you what.
	Let me do the jobs, Carmen, and then you can do the next one.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Next on the list is Sir Baltimore John of the Mud Flats in El Cerrito, which is right down the street from me, literally.
	333.33.
	Thanks for helping me cope with stay safe and ad nauseum.
	Merely thinking of responding go fuck yourself is enough to keep my amygdala properly sized.
	Adam, thanks for recently redirecting me and the rest of the producers to the World Economic Forum website, a.k.a.
	the greatest globalist rabbit hole on the web.
	It's pretty much right.
	It's indeed true.
	Yeah, you go there, you're going to spend some time.
	Yeah.
	Which is good.
	Which is what you guys support the show for and with.
	That's exactly the point.
	He'd love it.
	It's a lovely, lovely site.
	It's great.
	Jobs and human resources.
	And they leave it all out there because they figure people are too stupid to note that there's something about...
	Hubris.
	It reminds me of the old Green Bay Packers, the original team, when they're Vince Lombardi.
	People always say, well, they pretty much told you what they were going to do, and then they did it.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And that's what's going on with these guys.
	They're telling you what they're going to do, and then they're going to do it.
	And nobody's going to stop them.
	Anyway, he wants jobs and resource karma for everybody left to have more money and more kids.
	Okay.
	Top it off with some Sharpton Goods, sirs.
	Please, thank you for your courage.
	Love and light.
	Stay safe.
	Buckle up with Jesus.
	With gratitude.
	Sir Baltimore, John of the Mudflats.
	Man, we haven't had a single jingle request, so I'm hitting you with some...
	We just had one, yeah.
	Well, I mean, this is the first one, really.
	A number of...
	Yeah.
	He's getting lunch at Chipotle The Tortoise In the race Tim Kardashian Siganoi Weaver R-E-S-P-I-C-T They're all jitty R-E-S-P-I-C-T There's no real conflict Resist We must Resist
	We must We must And we will much About That Be committed Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Sir Luke Rayner, the Viscount of London and the Southeast in London.
	This is the first associate executive.
	He's $203.33.
	He's in the UK, London, UK. Londoner.
	March was the last time I donated.
	Lockdown basically reduced my income by 80%.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, government.
	So I really was just getting by.
	Happily, I'm now able to run cycle events again around the English countryside just in time for winter.
	Oh, good.
	He says, ironically.
	I found I'd fall behind on shows during lockdown and have...
	And have mammoth sit-down sessions to catch up.
	No driving or exercise will do that.
	Thanks for...
	Oh, he probably listens to why he's on his bike.
	Thanks for continuing to be there for all the producers.
	I'd like a Reverend Manning karma for this weekend event.
	Keep up the great work.
	Sir Luke Rayner, the Viscount of London.
	Oh my goodness.
	We haven't had a request for Manning in a while.
	Here we go.
	They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
	You've got karma.
	You're going to need a Bitcoin.
	Steven Riley, $203.
	No note from him.
	At least any that are findable.
	Christopher Baron.
	Thank you, Steven.
	Christopher Blanco, Surreal Estate of the North Coast in Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
	$200.
	Birthday wish.
	Happy birthday to the ravishingly beautiful Dame Ashley, Lady of the Lake, August 28th.
	Nice.
	ITM. It's been 166 days that we were told 14 days to slow the spread.
	Yeah.
	To flatten the curve.
	Back in business in Easter, if you recall.
	Flatten the curve.
	Flatten the curve.
	Emperor DeWine still has given zero indication of when we as Ohioans will be free to live our lives again.
	It's getting old.
	The other day I was accosted by a masked warrior outside the Chipotle.
	He said I was an a-hole for not wearing a mask and threatened to punch me in the face.
	Oh, brother.
	I took a step toward him and told him to go ahead.
	He backed off and turned around and went back inside.
	Ha!
	Wow.
	Alright.
	This is getting insane, he continues.
	To anyone in Northeast Ohio who is looking for a night of refuge from the insanity, join Dame Ashley Earl Walkman and myself at the Hooley House in Copley, Ohio on Saturday, August 29th.
	More info on the No Agenda meetup site.
	That's this coming Saturday.
	The last meetup had over 20 attendees and I look forward to seeing you all.
	That's a lot.
	Sir, real estate of the North Coast.
	That's fantastic.
	I think he's going to be listed in the...
	Now, the next note you can read, and it brings me to my second complaint, which I mentioned earlier.
	Any more notes like this, which are so big that they fill up my screen?
	And I'm just saying this because of notes like this.
	And I don't want to complain about the donation.
	No.
	But Adam and I have talked about this.
	Word limits are coming.
	Word limits are coming.
	But what he did, Brett W., First, he starts out by saying, in the morning, please keep my donation anonymous.
	Thank you for all you do, and the donation is my humble contribution.
	Just karma, please.
	I've also attached some clips from a recent episode.
	Hope you find it interesting.
	So, this is a combo.
	This is not meant to be read, and he did attach these clips.
	It came in too late for me to focus on the...
	So each one is set up.
	So he's really doing...
	He actually did a good thing here.
	So he's producing a couple clips.
	He's producing the clips, which I haven't had the time to review with his write-ups.
	Of course, I have it in the system, but I got it this morning and it's kind of too late to do this stuff.
	But he does say, he has a boots-on-the-ground report from Wisconsin.
	I'm also a member of a fine program of recovery, which has helped me and many others in many ways.
	I attend an AA meeting locally and local serenity club.
	The rents the space out for all local meetings.
	A A N A M A.
	A a lot for a whole bunch of a, Al-Anon Al-Anon.
	Thank you.
	Pays the electric.
	Make sure somebody is there to open the door and start a meeting.
	The club can't afford rent anymore.
	No meetings.
	Oh, man.
	Much less donations.
	Usually we pass a basket at every meeting, so there'll be no more meetings starting after this weekend.
	This is fucking crazy.
	There are hundreds of people who this will affect locally to me.
	I know we're not the only local chapter facing this.
	People are being told to go to these online Zoom meetings, but these are soulless and just not what people need to recover from addictions.
	Yes, we talked about this in Austin yesterday.
	It was a huge travesty because most of the AA meetings are at church.
	And school.
	School buildings and church buildings.
	This is a travesty.
	I agree with this.
	I'm sorry I berated him for the long time.
	No, it's okay.
	It is in play, I should mention.
	The idea of word limits.
	Word limits is in play.
	Word limits in play.
	Yeah, word limits in play.
	This idea of cutting these guys.
	These are the guys who need They need the stability of these meetings.
	Of course.
	And they're getting screwed.
	It's almost as though they're doing it on purpose.
	They.
	And I've used they, and I'm always condemning Adam for doing it.
	They are doing this on purpose.
	Yeah, it goes right along with...
	It's cruel.
	Yeah, it's cruel.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	It's cruel.
	Yeah.
	Well, maybe someone can help in the area.
	Maybe someone knows something.
	I'm almost seeing no agenda meetups.
	It's just like we almost need to have something, like AAA meetups.
	This needs to be coordinated.
	Someone needs to jump in.
	This is also a huge health issue.
	Huge.
	Okay, well, now I'm probably bummed out, but thank you very much for bringing it to our attention once again, and I'm going to throw some massive goat karma at you.
	Thank you very much.
	You've got karma.
	And Brett, you know, if you're not on noagendasocial.com, join, you know, maybe there's people there.
	This is where people help each other with all kinds of interesting things.
	You know, jobs, technical issues, deaths, births.
	It's very personable.
	Maybe they can help you somehow.
	Maybe we can get some contact and get a place to get something done.
	It's very disturbing.
	And of course, none of this is really discussed.
	The only one kind of talking about it is Trump.
	I don't see medical people talking about this or CNN all outraged.
	Yeah.
	I want to thank these folks for producing this show.
	1272, that's what we got here.
	Yes, and we will be thanking our full production staff in our second segment.
	Looking forward to that.
	And remember that you, executive and associate executive producers, these are actual credits.
	They're valid anywhere credits are recognized.
	I got a nice note from somebody who is up for a job in, I think it's Google, Russia?
	Or Google...
	I don't know.
	There's some local Google office.
	And he gave me a heads up that I might be getting an email for a referral.
	Well, I'm happy to do it.
	It wouldn't be the first time.
	Both of us are available for that.
	That is part of these credits, is we will actually vouch for you.
	And please consider supporting us for the Sunday show.
	We'll have lots more deconstruction.
	There's plenty more to come here on today's show.
	But to help us out and to bring the value that you get from the show, please go to dvorak.org.
	Well, we pretty much know who produces the best television.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slaves!
	Shut up, slaves!
	I did want to mention something, John, before we move back.
	I think I've mentioned Podcasting 2.0.
	Oh, yes.
	Okay.
	We're all on pins and needles about this.
	All of us podcasters.
	Good.
	So, the project is coming along very quickly.
	It's working well.
	I wanted to...
	Probably about Sunday I can...
	I will talk a little bit more about it.
	There's going to be a podcast for developers.
	I think we're going to produce it tomorrow.
	And it'll be just for developers.
	Kind of analogous to the way podcasting booted up.
	But I'll tell you, the first phase, just to make it understandable where I'm coming from, And this is partially because of deplatforming of Alex Jones, which had this domino effect through different podcasting apps, since everyone kind of sucks off of the Apple index, which I gave to them in 2006 with my meeting with Steve Jobs.
	He wanted the blessing for podcasting in iTunes, which, of course, I was completely cool with.
	And I said, well, here's a copy of the index, the database.
	So this index is probably about 1.8 million podcasts.
	And if you look at the problem with Rogan going to Spotify, we're in this interesting scenario where basically other apps are competing with each other.
	So you have the Apple Podcast app.
	Which has no discernible business model, and they've been good stewards of their index.
	But, you know, you go through the Apple vetting process.
	You can't just put something up there.
	It has to have all kinds of tags.
	Otherwise, they won't let you in there.
	And if they don't like you, then they can take it away.
	They've even taken some of their own podcasts off to move them into different areas.
	So there's a cancel feature I don't like.
	And then we basically have radio apps like iHeart who have purchased Stitcher and now they're building their own database and they have deep analytics because it's closed and they can advertise, slip ads into all podcasts or before them or whatever it is for your enjoyment.
	Same thing with Spotify.
	Their business models are corroded because they have to pay for every music stream.
	So they see this huge opportunity and...
	Power to them.
	Can't blame them.
	The issue that we have in podcasting and what I'm focusing on is developers of podcast apps have zero incentive to do this.
	They're not part of the financial flow, if there is any.
	And it's an enormous amount of work to create a podcast app.
	There's aggregation involved, notification, when things update.
	They usually will resort to polling from Apple, which doesn't really provide an API. You can kind of do a search and get some stuff back.
	But there's no incentive.
	And I think that we've figured out some incentive for developers to Just like we started back in the day with the first podcast receiving apps, I think there's a way to incentivize.
	And in fact, phase one, the motto is preserve podcasting as a platform for free speech.
	And phase two will be retool podcasting into a platform of value.
	And I wanted to let you know, because not only is this podcast coming, but on next Wednesday, I will be recording it.
	I'm the first guest in Joe Rogan's new Austin-based studio.
	Which I definitely plan to talk about this, because there's nothing better than doing that when, you know, it's one of his first Spotify shows.
	So I think it's going to be a great week.
	Well, he's been doing the Spotify shows, at least he's got them in the can, my understanding.
	Yes, he does.
	I think he has the first week in the can.
	This would be just the first one from Austin.
	Yeah, the first one from the studio.
	Yeah.
	So what is he doing?
	Is he buying a building?
	Is he buying his property?
	How is this working?
	Well, I haven't seen it.
	I've been helping him with the move, whatever he needed, resources, etc.
	And I think that he has...
	Yeah, I know.
	That means what restaurants and bars are good.
	No, actually, he had an emergency and he needed a desk.
	A new desk for in the studio.
	And he said, do you know?
	And it's like two weeks ago.
	Oh, you got that guy that built your desk?
	Well, I said, the guy's building my desk right now, but if he's what you want, then I can put my desk on hold.
	Which I did, and I think he's built.
	I haven't talked to him, but I think he's built.
	I think that worked out.
	Oh, that's dynamite.
	So, stuff like that.
	And, yes, restaurants, obviously.
	And what hairdresser for the girls.
	I mean, of course, this is what you do.
	Welcome to Texas.
	So, I'm very excited.
	I mean, to be in...
	There's not much better than going on the Joe Rogan show than being invited back on the Joe Rogan show.
	And I'm sure that tickles all of our Rona supporters.
	Roganites very much.
	This was quite funny.
	I got my hair cut yesterday.
	And Johanna, who does my hair, she's like, now, you know, I love Joe Rogan show.
	I said, yeah, yeah, of course.
	I wanted to ask you, do you think that you could let him know if he needs his hair done?
	And I looked at him like, you're serious?
	Oh, you mean there's no hair under that hat?
	No, there's not.
	But he does have a wife and two daughters.
	So anyway, I hope to be able to talk about the new project on the show, but of course all about the No Agenda show and how tickled we are with the quality of producers that have showed up since the first appearance.
	The Roganites are nice to have.
	It's a good group.
	I noticed this.
	They are a good group.
	Did you get any action from doing the Tom Woods show?
	Um, yeah.
	We had to...
	Yes, definitely.
	I thought we had a donation or two.
	Didn't we have a donation?
	I don't remember.
	Maybe.
	Yeah.
	Well, Tom Woods, it's another perfect crossover.
	So whenever I feel despair about how...
	Well, whenever I feel despair about how the M5M is just crushing humanity with lies and deceit...
	They are.
	I always think...
	It's the end for them.
	Look at Rogan.
	Look at the No Agenda show.
	Look at Tom Woods' show.
	Hey, I'll put Tim in there.
	What's it?
	Tim Pool.
	People are not thinking like the elite messaging system wants them to anymore.
	And that's just good.
	And I'm just happy about it.
	And our Joker cover is coming out.
	It's already, you know, the 33?
	Hello?
	Yeah, I'm here.
	I'm here.
	The Special 33 cover, it's already a collector's item.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	Our Joker, Batman Joker comic book cover.
	Oh, I forgot about that completely.
	Yes, we have a superstar comic book.
	We have a lot of people like this guy.
	Not like this guy.
	Not like this guy.
	Of this caliber.
	We have a lot of high-end guys in various fields.
	Exactly.
	And we have a high-end comic book guy who does those ridiculous drawings that, you know, I don't know how anyone can do any of them.
	And there's very few people in that league.
	And he considers himself second tier.
	Right.
	Which is pretty funny.
	So the first one, it's out for collectors, and I already saw it.
	It's like $60 or $70 on eBay.
	And there'll be two more.
	This is just the Light 33, which is a slight reference.
	Apparently the next two covers will be much more apparent.
	I have to say, I'm not a comic book guy, but I'm kind of jitty about that.
	There's something cool about it.
	I guess it's real cred for us somehow.
	I dig it.
	I dig it.
	It'll look good on the wall, let's put it that way.
	Ah, and now to get back to the news, I would like to identify a new term, which is trending.
	You didn't roll this out.
	What do you mean?
	Yeah, I did.
	I did the whole thing.
	Oh, why did I miss it?
	I must have zoned.
	Ha ha!
	You're flooding your own zone, JCD. You're flooding your own zone.
	No, it's like, you know, the show is becoming so routine that I'm missing parts of it now.
	Okay.
	It's a zone.
	Alright, we'll have to keep you awake then from time to time.
	Yell at me.
	Just throw a goat scream at you.
	Yell at me.
	Actually, I've been spending my time looking at the second half donations.
	Yeah.
	We have like ten of them.
	I know.
	It's really pathetic.
	It's very short.
	It's a short show.
	But, I would like to talk about the trending word of the moment.
	See if you can identify it.
	I do think that what you said was happening in Kenosha is a Rorschach test.
	How many times have we heard this one?
	The Rorschach test.
	I don't know where they got it from.
	I don't know why they would use it.
	Nobody knows what it means.
	I've heard all over CNN. I'm just waiting for the supercut.
	They're amusing themselves.
	The Rorschach test is the inkblots, correct?
	Yep.
	And...
	And I think it's their version of one screen, two movies.
	Oh, interesting.
	I like that.
	I like that.
	And this was actually a pretty decent exchange between Don Lemon and...
	And the Cuomo kid talking about the riots in Kenosha, which I think we should definitely discuss in a moment, and how that is...
	Well, listen.
	I do think that what you said was happening in Kenosha is a Rorschach test for the entire country.
	And I think this is a blind spot for Democrats.
	I think Democrats are ignoring this problem or hoping that it will go away.
	And it's not going to go away.
	And so, unless someone comes up with a solution over the next 73 days, or 70-so, however many days...
	68 days.
	68 days.
	So, the problem is not going to be fixed by then, but what they can do...
	And I think maybe Joe Biden may be afraid to do it.
	I'm not sure.
	Maybe he won't.
	Maybe he is.
	He's gotta address it.
	He's gotta come out and talk about it.
	He's gotta do a speech like Barack Obama did about race.
	He's gotta come out and tell people that he is going to deal with the issue of police reform in this country.
	And that what's happening now is happening under Donald Trump's watch.
	On Donald Trump's watch.
	And when he is the president, Kamala Harris is the vice president, then they will take care of this problem.
	But guess what?
	The rioting has to stop.
	Chris, as you know and I know, it's showing up in the polling.
	It's showing up in focus groups.
	It goes on a little bit, but I wanted to stop here.
	Don Lemon says specifically, Chris, as you and I know, it's showing up in the polling.
	It's showing up in focus groups.
	Are these journalists or are they DNC insiders is my question.
	Have they been giving this research?
	Are you asking this question seriously?
	Yeah, well, not so much seriously as in, what a tell.
	They're openly, just openly saying that they got the research, and we know it's a real problem, so it's got to stop.
	That's what the focus group says.
	Yeah, they're not reporting.
	Thank you.
	They're now recommending action.
	Yes, exactly.
	Okay, focus groups apparently say that this has got to stop.
	No, no, no.
	That's not how it works.
	And this is a big tell.
	Then they will take care of this problem.
	But guess what?
	The rioting has to stop.
	Does he have to stop?
	Does he have to guess?
	Well, it's almost like me with my...
	Does he have to stop and guess?
	It's almost like my rhetorical question, I guess.
	Rioting has to stop.
	Chris, as you know and I know, it's showing up in the polling.
	It's showing up in focus groups.
	It is the only thing, it is the only thing right now that is sticking.
	And the Democrats tonight stuck with that, right?
	And they also stuck with the theme that you said.
	The coronavirus.
	You got the coronavirus and you have Kenosha.
	And on Kenosha, this is another excellent example of the elite messaging system just not working anymore.
	I didn't have to do much work.
	It's everywhere who these people were, who was involved.
	There's video from multiple angles.
	You can clearly see what's happening here.
	And for these things to be...
	Taken the way they are.
	It's like white supremacist, Nazi kid with the long gun, the long rifle.
	You mentioned this in the newsletter as this narrative is now being built.
	Unfortunately, this is what Mo predicted to me last week.
	He says, I see a civil war between white people and we're sitting back on this one.
	I think he's right.
	That's a pretty good one.
	Yeah.
	Well, this is in isolated areas, but I have two clips on Kenosha.
	Okay.
	Kenosha is problematic.
	Whoa!
	You said problematic.
	I know.
	I will say it, but I usually warn people.
	First of all, I want to play NPR's The Um Report.
	This is a very short clip on it.
	Just a little bit about Kenosha.
	This is not the report.
	This is not the one I should be playing first.
	The first one is a longer clip.
	But the um report I like because it...
	Because the woman says um, and then the guy says um, and they say um a lot on NPR, it turns out.
	If one person says um, the other person starts to say um.
	And I could ring the bell on all the ums, but I'll let you listen and hear for yourself.
	They, at that time, urged a lot of the people who were with them to go home and to respect the curfew.
	And a lot of them did, but some didn't and some stayed.
	Well, we should say the city of Kenosha Police Department has tweeted out that there were two fatalities last night and that they're following this with an investigation.
	I know we don't know much, but do you know where this became deadly?
	Was this around the protests that you're talking about or somewhere separate?
	Yeah, it was in the kind of general vicinity of the protest, within about a couple blocks.
	And what we know about the investigation into the shooting so far is that they're focused on a group of civilians, I should say, who were there armed with guns and who were looking to protect private property.
	That's what they said, at least.
	They were there to try to prevent looting and things like that.
	I can't make fun of it because I do a lot of that.
	Typically when I'm trying to keep the flow going while I'm looking for clips or a story, I'll be...
	It's not noticeable.
	I get complaints.
	Oh, well, then it's noticeable to somebody.
	You say um all the time.
	Like that.
	Um?
	Um.
	Are you saying um or uh?
	Uh.
	Uh.
	Um.
	You know?
	I do you know a lot, apparently, too.
	Well, I can call you on your know.
	Please do.
	I can't tune into that.
	Call me on your know, I'll call you on your niche.
	I'm more tuned into your lip smacking, which you have reduced to zero, at least on this show.
	Yeah.
	And so, unfortunately, I can't really tune into too many things.
	I'm not that smart.
	Well, and part of the reason for the reduction in lip smacking is a change to my compressor settings.
	I was peeking out on the smack...
	Oh, by the way, while we're talking about that, let's discuss this a little bit.
	Smack?
	No, I'm listening to NPR, and they do not use a compressed sound to an extreme.
	And when you look at the waveforms, it's very hard to normalize.
	Because you're talking into the mic so close that they will...
	It's just strange.
	It's a very quiet sound.
	They're always close-miking.
	Everything's close-miking.
	And they talk like this.
	Indeed.
	And they have a very, they have the dB ratio, signal to noise ratio is very extreme, so it's very silent.
	Yes, it's kind of the opposite of your sound today.
	It's totally the opposite of the way I do it.
	I like a lot of noise.
	So, it's interesting to look at the waveforms because it's so alien to everything else I clip.
	Especially the networks where it's just compressed and looks really pretty.
	The professional, though, like it should, just boom, like a block, a flat block of sound.
	It's like a flat block, but not with NPR. Anyway, let's play the report on Kenosha, Kiyosha shootings.
	Alright.
	Video filmed by a bystander shows a young man with an...
	I'm sorry?
	This is democracy now.
	Oh, it says, okay, yeah, it is democracy.
	Video filmed by a bystander shows a young man with an assault rifle being followed by a crowd of protesters.
	He falls to the crown before shooting into the crowd as protesters attempt to disarm him.
	Penosha police said early Wednesday morning armed vigilantes, they called them militias, have been in the streets and they're looking for a man with a long gun.
	That's a white man with a long gun.
	No arrests have been made yet, and those killed have not been identified.
	The violence came on the third night of unrest in Kenosha following the police shooting on Sunday of Jacob Blake, an unarmed 29-year-old black man.
	An officer shot Blake seven times in the back as he was getting into his car.
	His three young children witnessed the shooting.
	Blake was reportedly trying to break up a fight between two women before the shooting, but the police have not explained why they went after him at all.
	Alright, wow!
	Let me take that in reverse order.
	She said, shot him in the back seven times he was getting into his car.
	I mean, even the short bit of citizen shot video we have shows that that's not true.
	He was breaking away from the cops who had him undershot, guns drawn, say, stop, stop, stop.
	He walks around his car, stop.
	They try to hold him, whatever car it was, and...
	Now, the excessiveness of seven shots, I can't talk about that.
	I mean, all I know is you go to the range, you shoot, before you know it, you shot off three or five.
	That's definitely not very controlled.
	But we don't know enough about that.
	And then Crump shows up, and now he's being martyred.
	No one should die.
	And we got a note from, where is it here?
	Someone in law enforcement there.
	Hold on, I have it.
	Here, Wisconsin Police Internal Memo.
	This is Adam and John.
	I work for the state of Wisconsin.
	The boss of our department released this wonderful message.
	I'm not going to mention who.
	Last night, oh, this is actually from, okay, I'm sorry.
	This is the boss of her department.
	Last night, Governor Evers released a statement on the shooting of Jacob Blake, and I joined with the governor in hoping fervently that he survives and heals.
	I also know hope is not enough.
	Today, he and the lieutenant governor announced a special session on policing accountability and transparency convening at noon.
	Next paragraph.
	There's a long history of systemic racism in law enforcement and other government systems, and I include health systems in that list.
	And yet, to use the word history to describe this ignores the current reality that black, indigenous, and people of color live on a daily basis in our state.
	It is not enough to hope for change.
	It's not enough to reflect and listen.
	As I wrote after George Floyd's murder, it's not enough even for us at DHS, there we go, to acknowledge our own complicity.
	These actions can be a part of our journey, but are too passive to be enough for this moment.
	I mean, this is not settled yet, what happened here.
	It's too soon, and it's too raw, and it's fucking political.
	That's the stuff that makes me mad.
	That makes me mad.
	And then working back, we all saw the videos of what happened.
	Almost everyone had a gun, a bunch of white guys.
	One guy's chasing the guy with the long rifle, the long gun, throwing stuff at his head.
	He turns around, I'm going to shoot you.
	Some words are exchanged.
	He goes towards the guy with the gun.
	He shoots him in the head.
	Okay.
	Then someone else comes along.
	He trips.
	He falls to the ground.
	The guy comes up in front of him.
	The shooter's on the ground.
	He's not shooting.
	He's pointing his gun at him.
	Then the guy lunges.
	He twists and gets shot.
	I mean, this is not Call of Duty.
	This is not a video game.
	It's real.
	But to say that protesters were murdered in cold blood?
	No!
	And we can see that we have the actual video.
	But it's the Civil War.
	Civil War amongst white dudes.
	Well...
	Dumb white dudes.
	Well, maybe, but people need to protect their property because stuff is getting broken and ruined.
	And now, of course, this guy...
	You know, he wanted to be a police officer.
	He was 17.
	What do kids know when they're 17?
	You know, it's open carry state.
	Yeah, I'm going to go.
	Of course.
	He's like, I got to protect stuff.
	You know, it's not my town.
	I got to go protect stuff.
	And then people who are not from his town and they're all fighting and everyone's got criminal records and they've been in jail.
	It's a mess.
	It's a mess.
	Well, I'm not saying it's not a mess.
	No.
	No, I know you're not.
	I know you're not.
	But that report, the reporting on it is shameful.
	The reporting is a mess.
	The mainstream media is a mess.
	There's your mess.
	I wanted to bring one other topic up.
	We talked about...
	Before you do that, I do have two ISOs I want to run by you.
	Oh, please.
	Yes.
	What do we have on the ISO front?
	Well, I got two.
	I got Morgue.
	Wait.
	A morgue.
	Where's that from?
	Kind of like it.
	You heard it earlier.
	Oh, is that what?
	Oh, do it from a morgue?
	Okay, got it.
	Now, the other one is related to the industry.
	Just as a side, I do have the Kellyanne Conway story, which has the second ISO in it.
	Well, I'll play the ISO first.
	How about I play the ISO? Play the ISO first, less drama.
	Less drama, more mama.
	Right.
	I like that.
	Do you have better ISOs than that?
	No, I have zero ISOs.
	I like this one.
	I like the Kellyanne Conway, less drama, more mama.
	Okay.
	Because that'll be it for her for a while.
	We won't be hearing from her.
	She's out.
	She's out.
	She's done.
	She's cooked.
	And this has to do with our show in general and what we do.
	I made a stink about the indictment, the banning indictment about the charity and how they had clearly said, you know, this guy will never not get a dime, 100% goes to the cause, we build the wall.
	You remember the story?
	I do.
	Yeah, so it was an eight-page indictment, and I'd read it all, and I excoriated Bannon for what he did, because this is exactly the stuff that Black Lives Matter does, with all these little subgroups, and we're fundraising on behalf of them, and so it's very sketchy, and I was...
	Very specific to say that I feel that Bannon gets no preference over any of these non-profits.
	I've been reading Form 990 since almost the beginning of this show, and I am so disgusted by the protections and the financial tax advantages and the marketing ability of a non-profit piece of shit, because that's what most of them are.
	I'm sorry, I'm cursing today.
	And I was very clear about that.
	Well, pushback came.
	You just hate Bannon!
	You're part of the attack on Breitbart!
	I'm like, what are you talking about?!
	Breitbart.
	And even Sir Brian of London, there's this guy, Barnes Law, whatever the guy's name is, and there's this piece of video, and he's saying the other side of the Bannon story.
	And so I watch it, and clearly they don't understand that I am not here as some partisan hack against anybody.
	I called it exactly the way...
	You'll hear in this clip only, for some reason, you know, it's like a Rorschach test.
	It appears we have another victimless crime, just like the NRA case.
	The Southern District of New York, I guarantee you, if they had somebody, even one person, anywhere in the country, who said they only gave the money because they thought not a penny would go to anything other than physical wall construction, they would have put them in the indictment.
	I've done plenty of these fraud cases, I've watched and studied many more.
	They always include four or five most sympathetic victims right up front in the indictment.
	Sometimes they keep them Jane Doe and John Doe, but often not, because they're usually going to be witnesses at trial.
	So you want that maximum level of empathy, maximum level of sympathy, completely missing from the indictment.
	So that's the backstory of what was going on with Build the Wall.
	The second part is background of fundraising campaigns.
	If this indictment is held up, you could indict 90% of charities in America.
	You could indict every single political campaign in America.
	You could indict the Trump campaign and everybody part of it.
	Thank you for making my point.
	That's the point.
	It's not always about right, left, this guy, that guy.
	It's about the principle of non-profits, and it's a joke.
	It's a joke.
	We've got people who are just contractors.
	Oh, I've got a non-profit.
	And then they can take a non-profit gig from the Dell Foundation.
	And then their non-profit gets the money, and then they do a 1099 to themselves.
	It's...
	We chose not for that model for a whole bunch of reasons.
	And it's just a scam now.
	I mean, there's legit profit, non-profits, but this, nah, stop.
	We did Form 990 easy.
	It's just...
	When you say that 990 easy, that means it's encouraged.
	Yes, it is.
	So all this is encouraged, and so then I think the people that would bitch about your commentary about Bannon would be...
	I think they have a gripe.
	Yeah.
	Because you seem to single him out.
	Yeah, where I do the same for all non-profits, for all of them.
	Yeah, you think they all...
	Well, but then again, the government seems to be encouraging this.
	Yeah, well...
	Now, why?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Because in the end, and I'm going to say these words on purpose, at the end of the day, it gets funneled to the politicians.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	Or the media.
	We're not going to say anything about anything, because the media is actually, at the double end of the day, the big butted end of the day, you have the real beneficiaries of all this, and you never hear them complain.
	Complaining, unless they're doing it for political reasons, and Bannon is a target, as is Breitbart.
	It goes to the media so they can print newspapers with big ads saying to do this or to do that, and the media makes the money.
	I mean, they make the money from the big pharma, so they don't say anything about big pharma.
	They make the money from the politicians, they don't say anything about them.
	Exactly.
	It's the media that's bad.
	We, on the other hand...
	Good.
	We good.
	We good.
	We do not take any of this money in any way, shape, or form.
	So, that's why we don't make as much as we could.
	Oh, no.
	No.
	Absolutely not.
	But also, we're just kind of uninterrupted, which is nice.
	I just want people...
	That's the best part.
	I'd like people to pay attention for the Trump troll of the week, so you can get prepared for it.
	He's already launched it.
	And...
	And of course, we know what he's trying to do, but here's the troll.
	I want Joe Biden and myself, he says, to be drug tested before the debate.
	He feels that, he says, Joe Biden, he saw the debates in the primaries and he says, I think Joe was jacked.
	They gave him some drugs.
	All of a sudden he had all this energy.
	That's not him.
	I want to make sure it's a fair playing field.
	I want us both drug tested for performance enhancing drugs.
	That's a fantastic troll.
	And I think it's...
	I believe it's necessary.
	He needs to be tested for performance because he's jacked up.
	It doesn't even matter.
	The point is...
	There's a couple of things that...
	Go ahead.
	No, it doesn't matter.
	But I think, by the way...
	You and I have talked about this long ago during the debates.
	So it's not as though it's a new idea.
	But let's discuss something else.
	Biden has refused to get tested for COVID. Trump says he gets tested all the time.
	I think Trump, and that's just a theory, I just thought about this.
	I think Trump has had COVID. He's so confident.
	Yeah, you may be right.
	Yeah.
	And that's why he took the hydroxychloroquine.
	But why wouldn't he say that I had it and I'm okay?
	Why wouldn't he do that?
	He's waiting for the...
	It's the October surprise!
	You know a couple of people.
	You know a couple of people personally.
	Of course I do.
	That have had COVID and they won't admit it to anyone.
	My nephew just got it.
	Julius.
	You met Julius?
	Tiffany's son?
	Yeah.
	He got the biggest hassle.
	He felt fluey, fluey for a day.
	The biggest hassle, now his mom has to get a test and wait, and then she might have to quarantine.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's a problem.
	But when Trump took the hydroxychloroquine out of the blue, you don't just take it for no good reason.
	Yeah.
	Why would you do that?
	It makes no sense.
	He took it because it was part of the regimen, because he caught COVID. He's being tested all the time.
	It looks like he got it.
	Boom.
	Immediately took the hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and the other thing.
	And he mentioned that he did, and there was, oh, he's going to kill himself.
	He's self-medicating.
	He's going to kill himself.
	He got over it.
	If he went for the antibody test, you'd probably find he had antibodies.
	And now he walks around because he knows he's had it already and it's been cured.
	He's a patient.
	He doesn't need to worry about it.
	He really looks unconcerned when he's roaming around.
	I like it.
	I think that's a great theory.
	I'll take that.
	I'll take that.
	And that's why he looks so...
	I mean, I can walk around and everybody...
	I don't care if anybody in this audience has got COVID. I've already had it.
	I've been cured.
	I'm good to go.
	Yeah, that was the number one comment on MSNBC and CNN coming out of Pence's...
	Which, nice, by the way, have the national anthem at the end.
	Nice touch.
	Another brilliant television production move.
	Very, very smart.
	It's out of control.
	That guy's so good.
	I do want to play the Kellyanne Conway fiasco story.
	Okay.
	Get that out of the way.
	No, let's do Kellyanne.
	This comes as longtime White House advisor Kellyanne Conway said she plans to leave her job at the end of this month, citing her family.
	And her husband, George Conway, who co-founded the Lincoln Project, is also leaving.
	The Lincoln Project.
	The couple's 15-year-old daughter, Claudia Conway, had said she's seeking emancipation from her parents and tweeted she's devastated her mother is speaking at the Republican National Convention.
	Conway replied, talking about stepping back from her job as a top senior advisor and counsel to the president from now on, less drama, more mama.
	Oh, wow.
	Yeah.
	Amy couldn't even deliver the line right.
	No.
	And yeah, so I guess they're going to try and save the family.
	You know, the kid's all pissed off, wants to be emancipated.
	It's a humiliation to the two parents that they're both of them.
	I would say both parents were lousy parents.
	How do you get a kid just completely out of control and so brainwashed by her peers or the school?
	I don't know why, but she hates both parents because they're Republicans.
	How does that happen to a 15-year-old?
	Do you think she hates them because they're Republicans or she just...
	I've listened to all her stuff.
	I've read all her tweets.
	She hates them.
	She hates her parents because they're Republicans.
	She hates Trump to an extreme.
	She hates her mother because she works for Trump.
	She hates her mother because she wants to give a speech at the RNC, which she did.
	And she hates her dad because he's a Republican, even though he hates Trump too.
	Still not good enough.
	Yeah.
	So how do you get a 15-year-old in any family?
	I don't care what family it is.
	If you're raising your kids, usually if you're two Democrats, I was raised as a Democrat.
	I was a happy Democrat when I was 15.
	I'm a Democrat.
	And it was no big deal.
	That's what you expect.
	Your parents beat it into you.
	You're going to be a Democrat, and you are.
	How do you become this girl that Well, that usually happens when you don't support the No Agenda show.
	I'm going to show myself by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	In the morning.
	And we do have a few, very few people to thank for the production of No Agenda show 1272.
	And starting with Sir Dodger of Panhandle, came in from Pensacola, Florida with $100.
	Mack Johnson in Phoenix, Arizona.
	Another $100.
	Sir John Knowles, the Baron of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
	Followed by David Forbes.
	It's 6-0-0-6 in Chicopee, Minnesota Nuts.
	Wesley Stewart with a birthday.
	Comes in at 5757.
	Sir Christopher Kessler.
	From Marshfield, Wisconsin, 5510.
	Double nickels on the dime.
	Sir J-Boy in Aldi, Virginia, 5280.
	David McClain in Cuba, Missouri, 50.
	And the rest are $50 donors.
	Name and location as appropriate.
	Chris Malmy, no location.
	Todd Grubb in Capic, Michigan.
	Jesus Allen, your buddy in Austin, Texas.
	Julian Robbins in Aptos, California.
	Michael Kaufman in Hillsborough, Oregon.
	Brooke Knepper in Boise, Idaho.
	Richard Gardner in Chicago, Illinois.
	Robley Hall in Hillsboro, North Carolina.
	And last, Sir Jeffrey Zellin in Oakland, Michigan.
	That's all we got.
	We're done.
	And we want to thank all these folks for supporting us in Show 1272 and helping produce it and getting it out the door.
	And those under the $50 level, which we do not address for brevity and anonymity, thank you all very much, especially those of you on one of our subscriptions.
	We'd love to have you join that part as well as your one-offs.
	Please check it out at dvorak.org.
	And for everybody who needs it, including Darren O's mom, who, remember she went in for acid reflux, turns out double bypass, went through everything cool, she's going to be fine.
	I'm very happy about that, but jobs from some other people as well.
	Here it is, and well-deserved.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah!
	You've got karma.
	It's your friend!
	Yeah, nearing the end of the month, here is our birthday list for today, the 27th of August, 2020.
	Dina Carroll says happy birthday to her smoking hot hubby, Danny, turns 55 tomorrow.
	Christopher Blanco, happy birthday to his ravishing beautiful Dame Ashley.
	She also will be celebrating her birthday tomorrow, as will Wesley Stewart, who turns 57.
	Andrew Young will be 39 tomorrow and says happy 40th birthday in advance to his buddy, Chris.
	Sir Nathan Lee says happy birthday to Linda Lee.
	Her birthday is on September 28th, but he's getting it in early.
	And J.J. Reiner de Blanc, September 29th.
	And today I am celebrating my little baby daughter who turns 30 years old.
	Happy birthday, Christina Valerie Curry.
	Your daddy loves you very much.
	Happy birthday to everybody here at the best podcast in the universe.
	30.
	30.
	There you have it, in a nutshell.
	I'm a hundred now.
	Well, we have the one-nighting, which is done by his beautiful spouse for Danny Carroll.
	So if you bring out your wonderful spouse, Blade.
	Yeah, you got it right here.
	Nicely done!
	Danny Carroll, it's all up to you.
	Come on up.
	This is a rare sight that we only get one nighting on a show like this, but very happy to have you here.
	Your wife is one heck of a lady, and we look forward to receiving your official night name, but until then, I'm very proud to pronounce the KU Danny Carroll as Sir Danny Carroll, Knight of the Noah Jenner Roundtable, where we bring you, for the new entrance, hookers and blow, rent boys, and chardonnay.
	We've got parliaments and pale ale, kebab and Persian wine, brisket and barrel-aged copper ale, Polish potato vodka, bakken vanilla, gashes and sake, rubinous women and rosé.
	We've got breast milk and pablum, ginger ale and gerbil, sparkling cider and esports, bonghits and bourbon, and...
	The table favorite, our house mutton and our house mead.
	And once you have your name and your ring size, head over to noagendanation.com slash rings.
	Actually, I think that's where Eric helps you determine what your ring size is.
	And we'll get that out to you as soon as possible.
	And thank you very much for...
	Can't go to a jeweler anymore.
	Your support of the No Agenda show.
	Then Eric the Shill is taking off.
	He's going on a trip with his family.
	Many people know the shill.
	Certainly our knights and dames interact with him.
	He's going on a No Agenda listening tour.
	And he wrote a little bit here.
	This is part of a six-state back-office listening tour for the No Agenda show.
	Eric, Shill, and the family will be on the road traveling through our western states, hosting meetups in cool states, and legally permitted protests in the shitty states.
	With some luck, John or Adam will make it to a meetup or two as well.
	All right.
	We could use some help from local producers to find a great location for a meetup.
	Restaurants with outdoor spaces would be a fine place to have a, quote, protest, a peaceful protest.
	But casual beers at a park work, too.
	We'll be posting specific dates and locations a week or two in advance of each meetup as we wander the western states.
	So he's looking at the tri-cities of Washington, Missoula, Montana, Fort Collins, Colorado, Provo, Utah, Vegas, Nevada, Lake Tahoe, California, Nevada.
	And that'll be on noagendameetups.com soon.
	So that should be fun.
	Meet the shill and his family.
	They are a very beautiful and fun family.
	I would, a couple of things.
	Yes?
	I would write him a shill at noagendanation.com.
	And to get some, and one of the things I think you should always inform him when you're suggesting places, he's got these kids, he's got three kids.
	Does your state allow kids in certain bars where you have to serve food?
	It's more complicated than you think.
	That's true.
	And so he needs to be notified of this because he doesn't know the laws in Montana, for example, regarding children in bars.
	In California, it's open game.
	You can pretty much bring kids anywhere.
	Oh, really?
	Well, generally.
	If it's a pure bar that nobody under 21 can go into, a pure bar.
	Ah, okay.
	You can't let kids in.
	Got it.
	But in Canada, for example, I believe, or at least in B.C., I don't think you can even let kids in a place where they serve alcohol.
	I mean, almost.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, the rules are different from place to place, and he needs to be informed of this.
	All right.
	That's Sheila at NoahGeneration.com.
	Oops.
	Here we go.
	It's like a party.
	Yo, it is indeed like a party.
	We got a couple of them coming up this Saturday.

	Supertizer, in the morning and, well, right now in the evening.
	In the morning, this is Jay.
	In the morning, this is Cheryl with Mike.
	Thank you for your courage.
	In the morning, this is William Alston again from Go Baltimore.
	Alright, thanks again guys for a great podcast.
	No, thank you.
	Wonderful to hear these reports.
	I'm glad everyone's having a good time.
	Going out, chilling, be clumsy, don't get triggered.
	And the NA Local 1 sent us their, I guess this was from their meat shoot, and they sent us the No Agenda 33 salutes!
	Michigan Local 1, present arms in the morning!
	Yeah, there's nothing weird about those no agenda people.
	I love that!
	I love that.
	Two ducks came falling down.
	We're like 15 different calibers going off there.
	Thank you very much.
	Not even simultaneously.
	So if you want to be a part of this crazy bunch, you're welcome.
	No matter where you are coming from, who you are, what you believe in, just come out and be honest.
	Everyone's cool.
	It's no triggering.
	We don't get mad.
	We talk.
	We chill.
	We have a good time.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	We chill, baby.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	If there isn't one there near you, all you have to do is go ahead and start one.
	It's that simple.
	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 want me Yeah,
	we haven't done an OTG segment in quite a while.
	I just wanted to fit one in real quick.
	Since it keeps getting pushed back, there are some important things to talk about.
	Number one is Apple coming up with a big change in iOS 14.
	Which will effectively no longer allow apps to track you with the Apple identification number.
	I think it's an advertising ID number.
	Facebook is saying that this could have their audience network revenue, i.e.
	selling your information to others, by 50%.
	And I think Apple is...
	It's very interesting.
	Apple is saying, well, we'll probably have an opt-in And I think they should do it for all tracking, anything, you know, even for, I mean, just the whole kit and caboodle.
	It's like, oh, you can have this app.
	Do you want it to track you?
	Because what Facebook will say is, well, you can use our app without opting into the tracking, but then you can't post or whatever.
	That's how you do it.
	Yeah.
	That's like the EULA. Yeah.
	Yeah, you don't say you don't agree to it.
	You can't use the program.
	Yeah.
	But it's a standoff.
	It's a standoff between Apple and developers.
	I'm all for it.
	Well, you know me.
	I don't really care.
	Yeah, I know.
	Well, I did have a...
	One of our producers, in light of the potential ambassadorship for the flip phone, which, by the way, I did get a note back from the guy, and a long list of ideas, very light on money I will get paid.
	I didn't see a lot of mention of that.
	Long list of...
	Yeah, that's kind of the...
	Yeah, I would say that.
	You know what?
	That should be flipped.
	Yeah, well, it starts off with, well, of course we could always, you know, have you make money on every phone you sell through a...
	It's like, okay, so I haven't answered the guy yet, but I'm skeptical this is going to be anything good.
	But I was thinking that when it comes to all this hygiene and people worried and masks, do we need to remind people that smartphones actually are a great way to spread coronavirus?
	And everything else is the grindiest thing you carry.
	It's worse than money.
	This would be my pitch.
	You need a flip phone, man.
	You don't want that big screen that's just catching all that rona.
	What, do you think the drops fall on your screen?
	You put it up to your face.
	You touch it with your hands.
	Another thing no one's ever talking about.
	Seriously not, you mention it?
	Yeah.
	And then we have the information that police requests to access recordings from your smart speaker are up 72%.
	Now you know why I got rid of it.
	Now you know why I never got one.
	And it's too bad because I love the technology.
	The business model is a non-starter for me.
	And I have a fun clip to play us out with.
	I don't know.
	I got three clips that need to be played.
	All right.
	We need to do those post-haste.
	First of all, one's long and two are very short.
	So I'm going to start with the long one because I've decided that I'm now going to do this once in a while.
	Not a lot, but this is a QAnon report.
	Uh-oh!
	Do I need to put the glasses on?
	No.
	Okay.
	Whatever you do, don't put the glasses on.
	I want you to hear this without the glasses.
	Okay.
	And this is from a podcast with Neon Revolt himself, the author of one of the QAnon books and one of the top guys who pushes the QAnon agenda.
	Oh, okay.
	So Neon Revolt is going to tell us what's going to happen with the election, according to what he's been hearing, although they do a thing at the end, which I didn't put into the clip, which is saying, well, you know, it could be just disinformation for a purpose.
	But let's listen.
	This is what's going to happen.
	Joe Biden, by the way, is not going to be the guy on the ticket.
	I've been trying to understand.
	This comes from a more recent Q drop.
	Q basically said that Biden and whoever his running mate may be, now we know it's Kamala Harris, aren't the real ticket.
	And that at a certain point, it's going to switch over to, this is my reading of it, I could be wrong, a Hillary and Obama ticket.
	Like Michelle or Barack?
	No, I'm thinking Barack.
	Really?
	Because he could...
	The argument can be made that he can legally run for VP. Right, right, right.
	Um...
	And if you think about what they're doing with selecting Biden and how much of a stutter...
	Like, come on.
	How often have you known the Democrats to choose a candidate that is, like, physically...
	Yeah.
	It's like optics are everything with them.
	There's a reason that Biden is having, you know, all this mental fog and, you know...
	Right.
	It looks like he's a dementia patient up on stage.
	It's because the intention is to replace him.
	Isn't it too late at this point?
	How would they get Hillary and Obama on the ticket across all 50 states?
	What could happen, and this is what I theorized, is that because all this dementia stuff, it could be the pretense for a medical issue with Biden.
	So if Biden has a stroke and suddenly can't physically run...
	They can, the Democratic Party can then vote on a new candidate.
	Right.
	And just totally, you know, we've been through...
	Would they go late in the election?
	Because, I mean, are there enough time at this point to make that type of, that's a big change, you know?
	There actually is.
	This can be done.
	There was an article about it in The Hill not too long ago.
	I can post that in the comments, too.
	But this can theoretically be done, and I think this is actually what they're going to do.
	So, again, it's amazing.
	Before Biden actually became the candidate, what was the talk of the town?
	The talk of the town was Burisma and Ukraine.
	And now that kind of had to go away, because if they talk about it, now you're attacking a political...
	There's nothing like a good swoop theory to come back, just when we need it.
	I kind of dig in that.
	I didn't know the term a cue drop.
	Oh, yeah.
	There she is, swooping over.
	Oh, and here she is, too.
	This is the second clip.
	This is Hillary on Not Conceding.
	Oh, yes.
	I have...
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, Hillary, I'm not conceding.
	Yes, here we go.
	Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out and eventually I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is.
	In relation to the Q drop, this is a short clip from Colorado local news.
	Started about the post office, but then quickly went sour.
	Link to check out any and all claims about funky business with the Postal Service in Colorado.
	But we do ask you not to share wild claims that are not backed up by any evidence.
	Hey, speaking of those, Colorado congressional candidate Lauren Boebert is one of two QAnon supporters, candidates for Congress, invited to the White House for President Trump's big speech this week.
	QAnon, you'll recall, is the conspiracy theory that President Trump will soon round up and execute his political opponents who are satanic cannibals that drink baby blood.
	Boebert It just keeps getting better.
	First it was rounding up the elites who drink baby blood.
	Now he's going to execute them.
	Yeah, execute them.
	Wait till Yamiche gets a hold of this.
	Well, wait.
	Do you have another clip?
	Because I have one more.
	I have one more.
	You can have one more clip.
	I do have my last clip, which you can play at the end or you can play now or you can play whenever you want.
	This is the lost Biden gaffe you were talking about on the last show that we didn't isolate, but I do have it isolated.
	It's very short.
	And this is the funniest thing when he gave his acceptance speech.
	What's it called?
	It's called the lost recent, I'm sorry, recent lost Biden gaffe.
	Ah, okay.
	Here we go.
	And there's never been anything we've been able to accomplish when we've done it together.
	I know.
	A lot of people caught this.
	There's nothing we've been able to accomplish.
	We can't accomplish anything when we do it together.
	Yes, that is exactly like your steering committee.
	There you go.
	I have a final clip from Sandy.
	Sandy Ocasio-Cortez.
	This was...
	She's going to tell you something here that was...
	For foretold on the No Agenda show, just by our own journalistic integrity and boots on the ground, you will remember this great way that you, children, can help out.
	Hello, everyone.
	I have been thinking about ways to help you help the post office, and I think I've got an idea, and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
	So one of the best ways to support the post office is to buy stamps.
	What do you all think?
	Come on, man.
	I had that a week ago.
	I had that a week ago.
	Buy stamps.
	Buy stamps.
	There you go.
	That is just, it is so sad.
	I tell you.
	Well, everybody, let me see what we have coming up next.
	Nick the Rats with some tree talk on NoAgendaStream.com.
	You can enjoy that.
	We have end-of-show mixes from OVDB and Jesse Coy Nelson.
	And, well, I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of rabbits get pulled out of the hat tonight.
	Of course, we'll be reporting that on Sunday's show.
	And coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas, FEMA Region No.
	6 on the governmental maps.
	If you're looking for me in the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it smells like smoke, but doesn't smell as bad as it did a couple of days ago.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	And it doesn't smell like those tote bags we once had.
	Remember to support us by going to dvorak.org slash na.
	We can use all we can get.
	And until Sunday, adios mofos!
	And such.
	The pandemic has canceled the future.
	The pandemic has canceled the future.
	We should, as we're thinking about recovery from the pandemic, resist the calls to return to normal.
	Normal was an ecocidal economic system.
	The new world order is here and they're in our face and no one gives a crap, no one's paying attention.
	Gee, that's weird.
	Ha, ha, ha, yeah.
	Build back better.
	Economic system.
	Build Back Better.
	Industrial.
	Build Back Better.
	United States.
	Build Back Better.
	Reality.
	My Build Back Better plan.
	Revolution.
	Building back better.
	Free new dill.
	Build back better.
	Equitable.
	Inclusive.
	Build back better.
	I didn't make a joke about the fact that people have mispronounced Kamala as Kamala.
	Kamala, the Ugandan headhunter.
	What makes Kamala Harris African American?
	Nothing African American.
	Her name is pronounced comma like the punctuation mark.
	Look, Kamala.
	That's how it is, Kamala.
	So I'm disrespecting her, Kamala Harris.
	So is she African American?
	No.
	So she is what?
	She is black.
	Okay, there we go.
	Kamala Harris is black, not African American.
	Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown addressed his past extramarital relationship with U.S. Senator Kamala Harris.
	So we now know the two matchups going into the November election, Mike Pence and, of course, President Trump, and Kamala Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden.
	What is your take on Kamala Harris being added to the table?
	Kamala has instructions!
	Son of a membrane, joint by joint!
	Kamala Harris, also known as the Ugandan giant, has died after a brief battle with COVID-19.
	She clearly can't do any kind of stand-up, which you shouldn't do without an audience.
	Vice President Pence.
	Jellystone National Park?
	No, the other one.
	Yosemite.
	When they gaze upon the Semites.
	Yosemites.
	Cowering.
	Sequoias.
	Kamala Harris.
	That's the politician, right?
	That's the lady running for vice president.
	What makes her African American?
	I don't know.
	She don't act like it.
