This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination, episode 1273.
This is No Agenda.
Celebrating 6% and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we don't have Rand Paul to beat up anymore, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Of course we have him to beat up.
Not in Silicon Valley.
What do you mean, not in Silicon Valley?
He doesn't come here.
Well, you said you don't have him.
I don't know.
Maybe I was confused.
He's been beat up enough, poor Rand Paul.
He's been beat up enough, I tell you.
I have a clip somewhere from him.
But...
The news is finally out!
And the New York Times has admitted...
That the coronavirus test could possibly be a piece of crap.
Headline!
Headline!
This was, I couldn't, you'll recall a week ago, I said...
I think it was a torture device, just like he's torturing people by sticking that thing down their throat.
A week ago, I said, CDC published a chart where everything is down to zero.
You can't even see deaths or anything.
And that was the CDC website and, you know, it's like no one really paid much attention to it.
But then finally, New York Times came out, when was this published?
I think, yeah, yesterday.
Your coronavirus test is positive.
Maybe it shouldn't be.
The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.
So the article says something that we've discussed, I think we talked about months ago, where they're spinning the little piece that they have, the The DNA segment or the sequence, they're looking for that, so they're taking your DNA and they're spinning it 30 times to replicate it to see if the virus is in there.
30 times is what most say is what you should be doing.
But the New York Times, as I think pretty sure we discussed on the show maybe months ago, It's doing 37 to 40 times, which really every single health professional says, yeah, that's too much.
You're going to get too many false positives.
Now, what the New York Times does is they try to spin that and say, well, thank God we've got the rapid 15-minute test coming up that's completely accurate, and that'll get us back to work.
In the meantime, if you look at the numbers, It means the testing is overstated by a possible factor of 10, which is exactly what we said before, and now the death rate is also only 6% of that total 183,000 number.
The CDC is publishing this information on their website, and they say, Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019.
For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.
For deaths and conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19 on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death.
It's bogus!
Everything is bogus!
So then, there's this video going around, several videos.
You may have seen them, and it's usually some person in a lab coat going, well, this is very strange.
It turns out that the coronavirus PCR test protocol calls for a humanoid chromosome 8, which is something that occurs in all human beings.
So this clearly means that all tests would ultimately prove positive.
So this seemed kind of sketchy to me, and I sent it to our lab technician.
I can't mention the person's name.
This person sent me back a very long, very interesting, you know, went through the whole process and says, okay, let me break it down for you.
And said, it's very interesting that this one particular sequence comes back in this paperwork.
But then our researcher said, something else is very troubling.
Quote, I've been doing the RTQ PCR test on COVID at work and I have the probe sequences available to me.
But I was looking for it on the CDC website.
Turns out they use different probes for diagnostic tests than what I use for research.
That is interesting.
I didn't know they used different primers.
And then goes into and basically says, something's weird.
As far as I'm concerned, I can basically prove we're almost done.
We almost have herd immunity based just on the numbers the CDC is providing.
I've got a lot of work to do now, but I'll get to the bottom of this.
By the way, I was sipping tequila while I was doing the research and I accidentally got drunk, so I'll have to leave it for here for tomorrow.
That is a real boots-on-the-ground producer who is going to get us some information.
Something is up.
Something is weird.
Well, something's been up.
Yeah, but now it's out in the open.
Well, they have to do something before they get...
They're going to have so much egg on their face by the time this is all over that they have to get something.
They've got to start backing up.
They've got to start pumping the brakes.
another one from our producer caleb adam i listened to 1272 my wife works at a major midwest covid tester they're about to modify their test so that it also looks for influenza a and b in addition to covid all at the same time potentially so people who are sick with something know what bullcrap virus they are supposed to cower in fear from i see it differently
I see this as a seamless transition towards your kids can't go to school without the flu vaccine, get the vaccine.
Oh, you don't have COVID, but you should get the vaccine.
It's disgusting.
And, moreover, that in the United States, we're looking like douchebags compared to Europe right now.
Holy crap!
Did you see the people in Berlin, in Zurich, in London?
Yes, yes.
I didn't see the London ones.
We got a written report about London, but I have a Berlin report.
I mean, it's very short.
Yeah, well, it's good.
We'll do your Berlin report, then I have some similar.
Okay, Berlin protests.
In Berlin this morning, thousands marched to protest government restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
Police broke up the march before noon, saying the demonstrators were not following a court order that mandates social distancing.
Right.
Okay.
This is perfect.
I'm glad that's the report you got.
I went to Euronews and I figured I've got to find out what the mainstream in Europe is reporting.
BBC, the way they reported, is COVID deniers protest in Berlin and London.
Let's listen to Euronews.
It was a Saturday of protests in a number of European cities with thousands gathering to demonstrate against coronavirus restrictions in Berlin.
Police ordered the crowds to disperse after participants did not observe social distancing rules.
Up to 300 people were arrested.
The whole government is illegal.
Everything is illegal, he says.
And Corona is just a medium to heavy flu.
A pandemic that's being used to enslave us as humans.
Meanwhile in Zurich, thousands were doing the same, demonstrating against masks and vaccinations.
Saying no is a right.
Said a placard carried by one protester, Switzerland has reported more than 2,000 coronavirus deaths and over 40,000 confirmed cases.
There was also a rally in London's Trafalgar Square, where a group of protesters branded the coronavirus pandemic a hoax and called on people not to comply with restrictions.
Britain is one of the worst-hit countries in the world, with more fatalities from coronavirus than any other European country.
So, peoples of Gitmo Nation European Union, you know clearly that this is a very toned down bullcrap report throwing some guy in there who's talking about, of course, from a no agenda perspective, we're like, yeah, that guy's right, we're being enslaved.
From someone who's just casually following the news and is fearful, That's a crazy person!
And what is not mentioned is the incredible enthusiasm for the rather well-known celebrity guests who spoke, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Back at home in the United States, the newspapers are saying that I came here today to speak to about 5,000 Nazis.
Welcome home to the United States.
Are you able to hear what he's saying?
Yeah.
Okay.
The German translation.
They understood that.
And tomorrow, they're going to report that yes, I was here and I spoke to maybe 3,000 to 5,000 Nazis.
I look at this crown.
And I see the opposite of Nazism.
I see people who love democracy.
People who want open government.
People who want leaders that are not going to lie to them.
People who are not leaders who will not make up arbitrary rules and regulations to orchestrate obedience of the population.
We want health officials who don't have financial entanglements with the pharmaceutical industry who are working for us and not big pharma.
So this went on for 13 minutes.
It's in the show notes.
It's really worth listening to.
In Berlin!
In Berlin!
So he flew to Berlin just to stir up the...
That's funny.
Yeah, one of our producers even said that he had seen...
You know, we have a Boots on the Ground report.
We had a meet-up there, apparently, with Sir Donald, I think.
Just picking one other quick quote from the Kennedy speech...
And to shift us all, to begin the process of shifting us all to a digital currency, which is the beginning of slavery.
Because if they control your bank account, they control your behavior.
Boom shakalaka.
He's a no-agenda guy.
100%.
You've got to appreciate that.
We get more from him than he gets from us.
Well, we should interview him.
That's the guy to interview.
Then over in London...
Oh, we had a whole bunch of cool people on stage there.
I'm surprised that the British mainstream didn't highlight this, their favorite guy to hate, the fly in the ointment.
Yes, David Icke.
And he was on fire.
We'll just, I mean, this could go on forever, so we'll just play it until we've heard enough.
How do we break that sequence?
We stop acquiescing.
Human rake!
Get off your knees!
the lion sleeps no more they're in your home no wear a mask no let your kids be psychologically dismantled no it is time
It is well past the time where we learn the lessons of history.
The entirety of human history is one of the few controlling the many because the many acquiesce to the few.
I mean, it just went on and on and on, and no one's wearing a mask, no one's social distancing.
There's also no fighting, because there's no Black Lives Matter crap disturbing the whole idea.
It's very impressive.
Very impressive.
Now, they're all about to get...
Well, we're not doing any of that.
I don't know what the hell we're up to.
No, but that's because we're cowering in our homes because any protest is immediately seeing, oh my God, Black Lives Matter, you know, it's violent, can't have that.
We can't even peacefully assemble anymore.
Or peaceably, officially.
We can't even do that.
I was very impressed with what was happening in Europe.
Zurich as well.
Well, now you know why they don't have guns over there.
Well, yeah, exactly.
This is the part that's so sad, is that eventually they're going to come and beat you down.
I mean, they've got the weapons.
They're just going to beat you.
Let me see.
I had a couple more things that were kind of funny.
Ah, yes.
The United Nations is...
They're still on the We Are the World tip of things, and they had a webinar for the Pacific Nations.
What do they call this thing?
Pacific Unite.
Pacifica Unite.
And they had a big We Are the World song at the end.
Oh, brother.
Well, they had an interesting host.
Those guys even keep up with what's going on?
This is so good.
They had a host who I think may have been, well, Pacific Islander, maybe Hawaiian, called Auntie Tala.
And Auntie Tala...
For all intents and purposes, is a dude with a beard and chest hair with a blonde lady's wig and I don't know if it's his own breasts or whatever.
What?
Maybe, yes.
It's a trans person.
Is it a UN spokesperson?
The host of the show for the UN. In fact, you'll hear the UN official for Pacific Nations sign off and then toss it over to Auntie Tala.
It's fine, I don't care.
But then the song kicks in, and I'll let it go until the first verse, which is titled, We Will Rise.
Wherever you are, be healthy and keep each other safe.
Well, there you have it, all my beautiful people of the Pacific.
We're coming near the end of our Pacific Unite concert.
But I just want to remind you, just with all of us, very important, we stay connected with each other.
Look out for our families, our village, our communities, and help those who are most vulnerable.
So make sure we all stay connected.
In order for us to move forward, we have to do it together.
So it's up to me and it's up to you.
To all work together as we do with Pasifika.
I love you all.
God bless you all.
And we hope to see you again.
Pasifika Unite.
Alofato.
Bye!
And here comes the song.
Listen to the words.
Oh my goodness.
People of the Pacific, you're being controlled!
Be careful!
Chew it down and broken hearted, trying to smile again.
Lads are lost, chewing our suffering, wearing a mask to stay alive.
Around the world, we're closing borders.
COVID-19's on the rise.
Here it comes.
A new world order, behind closed doors, the storm will pass.
That's right, a New World Order is right there behind closed doors, waiting to save you all, you Pacific Islanders!
You're going to live because of the New World Order!
I know.
You can't even say anything to this.
Wearing a mask to save our lives.
Okay.
The Black Lives Matter...
13 principles includes, which is what you said, I don't care if it's transsexual, I don't care what it is.
They have one of the principles, most of their principles are about, I think, three of the 13.
Now, explain what you're doing here, because I know what you're looking at.
Black Lives Matter, I'm looking at the, you know, they've got this educational push, and they're pushing an agenda, and the agenda matches what you're just playing.
Okay, so this is for school children in the United States.
Yeah, and one of the principles, I'll get the list and we'll talk about it later, but one of the principles is to reject the heteronormative narrative.
Yeah, well, of course.
If you have to look up heteronormative in the dictionary to really understand what they're talking about, They want to reject the heteronormative narrative, and most of the things about sex, and the three women who founded it, I believe, are all lesbians, and man-haters, I might add it.
They also want to get men out of the picture, and they want to destroy the...
they say that they have to get rid of the nuclear family because it's a problem so they want to get rid of the patriarchy as part of it and this whole thing with the transgender person coming out there I think is part of this whole scheme but heteronormative if you look it up I have to do it myself since you didn't do it sorry I was paying attention I
Doesn't that mean that heteronormative is a patriarchy thing, denoting or relating to a worldview that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation?
Yes.
It's got nothing to do with their patriarchy.
In fact, they had to have other principles in their therapy.
To get rid of men.
To oust the patriarchy.
I'm sorry.
I got the wrong article.
So heteronormative says that you view the world as largely heterosexual, largely, unless somebody says, oh, I'm gay.
Okay.
Right.
That's the heteronormative view of the world, which is the way most people are.
Most people that listen to this show, most people in the United States are heteronormative in their outlook.
Yeah, but that's outrage.
In other words, they see the world a certain way as men and women, heterosexuals, with homosexuality as a minor aspect to it.
This says no to that.
You can't do it that way.
You have to assume everyone...
They don't say this, but it's almost as though you have to assume everyone's gay, which you can do in some parts of the country, I might add.
You're living it.
Even here, it's not true.
But...
This is an attack, and the entire Black Lives movement is an attack.
On black men, I hate to say.
Oh, definitely attack on black men, and some of them are realizing it.
A lot of them are.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Hotep Jesus, for example.
I have a whole show I've been doing for a year.
Yeah, this is a very important point, and it won't take much.
To get a couple of black men to stand up and feel like they have a voice.
Because, yes, they're being used.
They're the ones that are being pointed to.
Look, they're getting killed.
But get rid of men.
So when I see, when you say, oh, I don't give a crap that some guy with a beard and a dress is coming out there, I find it a little bit off because it's not, the guy's not trying to be a woman.
He's just wants to, he's a guy with a beard wearing a dress.
It was just bad costume clothing.
It was not appropriate for a television show.
It was just not a great outfit.
Even for a beautiful woman, it was not a great outfit.
You're trying to make a point.
I've seen more bearded guys in dresses in different imagery.
In fact, I think it was triggered by the guy who won the Eurovision contest a few years back.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
What was her name again?
I actually find it somewhat offensive.
I'm not dead neutral on this.
Well, what was Conchita Wurst?
That's who won the song contest.
Yeah.
Conchita Wurst from Austria.
I think it's funny.
I think if you're looking at it from a sense of...
I mean, this is kind of like a Mel Brooks type of humor you'd run into in the producers.
But what was interesting is after Auntie Tala signs off, then they go to the clip, and it's all Pacific Islanders.
They're on a cliff.
It's just women.
Oh, wait.
No, there may have been a couple of boys there.
But they're all dressed in uniform black.
You know, they have the same outfits on.
It was very odd to go from that completely wild ensemble of clothing that was just a fashion emergency, no matter who's wearing it, to the strict kind of black button down.
The whole thing.
The United Nations is not cool.
They do not have anyone's best interest at heart except their own.
And the lyrics, New World Order, is right behind the closed door.
It's like it's ready to pop out, everybody.
Build back better.
Ooh.
Ugh.
All right.
Then we have, I guess...
I can go to a couple of Gates clips that I have, because he's just all over the place, still yucking it up and giving us the interviews and really is not able to answer questions.
Here's a Bloomberg interview.
First question, let's get into hydroxychloroquine.
You'd think he'd be ready for a question like this.
There's a lot of bad information about therapeutics out there.
Debunk some of the myths for us.
Debunk some of the myths?
Doxychloroquine being one of them.
This is an age of science, but sometimes it doesn't feel that way.
The idea is about testing and testing.
Hydroxychloroquine.
The numbers are quite clear.
It got confused because the trials were done so poorly, but there's lots of good things coming in the therapeutic area that are really proven to work without the severe side effects.
So...
You know, a little bit slow, but a lot of good news to come in that domain.
Well, that's not a debunking at all.
Because he knows he can't debunk it, and he's trying to be kind of, you know, noncommittal.
Bullcrap artist.
That was the worst answer he's ever given for any question.
Well, he's finally shored up his answer to the conspiracy theories question.
There are some raging internet conspiracy theories out there about you wanting to implant chips in people via a vaccine, and you are the center of some, frankly, ludicrous narratives.
Ludicrous, leading the witness.
Does that upset you personally?
How do you feel about all that?
Well, it's kind of strange because they take the fact that I'm involved with vaccines.
That part's true.
It involves saving millions of lives for lots and lots of different diseases, including HIV and malaria.
They just reverse it that instead of giving money to save lives, I'm making money to get rid of lives.
Yeah, sure.
By inverting it and ascribing ill intent, it takes this complex situation that was unexpected and may make it feel like it's more understandable.
If that stops people from taking the vaccine or looking at the latest data about how they should behave, including wearing a mask, then that's a big problem.
I wouldn't have expected this.
It's just...
You know, a bit strange that it's been politicized and the conspiracy people have had a heyday.
Now, of course, we could also say that he's doing all these evil things and he just explains it upside down.
That's also possible.
But okay, I don't know.
All I see is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's coffers grow in size.
I don't see them diminishing.
So, they're doing something right over there.
This is true.
They do a lot of investments.
They're doing something right over there.
It's like a cover for their, you know, they said, well, what can we do?
We're investing our money, but then we got to pay capital gains, da-da-da-da-da.
No!
No.
Let's do it this way.
Yeah.
And we'll just keep growing.
I mean, how many jets can you fly at the same time?
The foundation pays for it.
Now a little bumble.
Oh boy, a little stumble bumble as he's asked about TikTok.
Of course, we have TikTok possibly being purchased by Microsoft or Oracle, maybe Oracle with Walmart.
We'll get to that later.
And he stumbles here.
What about the app in general?
Obviously, it's a very popular app.
I mean, is this something that you would like to see in the Microsoft family?
Well, it's nice that TikTok's created some competition through innovation.
And, you know, it doesn't seem like preventing that innovation from being available that that makes much sense when you want to.
He said innovation, but then he said, oh, I don't see a problem with making that much information, I mean, innovation public.
You know, it doesn't seem like preventing that innovation from being available, that that makes much sense.
I think he's thinking tracking.
I don't know what he was thinking.
That was an interesting flow.
Well, that's what people have been saying, tracking.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
But he's got nothing to do with Microsoft.
He's not even on the board anymore.
Well, he said that I'm sure I'll be asked to weigh in at some point, blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, I got it.
And then he misses the opportunity to tie climate change to COVID. Misses it.
I still like your idea very much of saying...
Coronavirus creates climate change?
That is so beautiful.
No, no, no.
Climate change created...
Yeah, yeah.
Climate change creates the environment for coronavirus to flourish and jump around.
And if we don't solve the climate problem, do you believe there will be more pandemics, worse pandemics in the future?
Well, that's not the only thing.
You'll have incredible instability because...
Your ability to grow food in large parts of the world will be so diminished that you'll literally have hundreds of millions of migrants and you won't have a thriving global economy because you will have degraded the ecosystems.
And there is no quick fix to that thing, unlike the magic vaccine that's a mere...
You know, year to two years at most to come up with.
A magic vaccine.
Magic vaccine.
Magic.
Magic.
Final clip from Bill.
Now, this isn't one I just came across.
One of our producers sent it to me.
This is a CCTV interview.
That's Chinese television.
With Bill Gates in April.
Now, just remember, shutdowns, lockdowns for a virus at massive scale have not been done.
They had not been done until Wuhan took the unprecedented measures.
We talked about it.
Wow, they got 11 million people on lockdown.
11 million.
That was never heard of before.
We now know that when that happened, Chinese bots went out and started telling Italians that lockdown was the way to go, and they probably flooded the U.S. social networks as well.
So that was a mind-control trick as far as I'm concerned, and we fell for it, and we all went down with it, and all the pharma fuckers were in on it.
And here's Bill Gates thanking them for their courage.
To all the people of Wuhan, you know, you made a great sacrifice to be in this very strict quarantine.
And, you know, I'm very glad that it succeeded, but I'm sure that the difficulties were very great.
And so we're thankful that you made these sacrifices.
Being at ground zero of an infectious disease is an incredible challenge.
You made changes.
Work was stopped.
Your living was very different.
And now the goal that all of that had, which is getting the cases down to very small numbers, I'm still being super open about, okay, where are those cases?
That critical thing is something that people should feel good about, and I hope that we can get things even more back to normal in the months ahead.
We use testing data to see where do we still need to restrict things and where can we go partially back to normal.
So thank you for your sacrifices.
Hmm.
I never heard him say thank you for your sacrifices to any city or state here.
In fact, quite the opposite.
Scolding us!
So...
And that was in April.
He's trying to gouge them, too.
I don't know.
Well, of course he's trying to gouge them.
Everyone's trying to gouge everybody.
Uh, so the vaccine is now a growing concern for researchers.
Everyone's starting to figure out that it's not your traditional vaccine route.
I think President Trump is pushing the issue to make sure people really don't want it by saying, oh yeah, no, I'll have this done before the election, which is now the FDA this morning, I think it's this morning, has said, oh yeah, we will approve, uh, I think at least the Moderna vaccine before the Phase 3 clinical trial is over, if you really feel you want to do it, you can do it.
Well, this is a push, man.
I think this is Trump pushing people to never want this thing.
Ask anyone on the street.
When it comes out, will you take it right away?
Of course we know a lot of people will.
They're mind-controlled, and a lot of people have to because their kids can't go to school, etc., But the typical liberal walking down the streets of Austin, they'll be like, no, I'll wait a month or so for the first batch.
You know, I can stay home and work from home.
Again, I'll take the other side of this argument.
I've done it every time you bring it up.
They'll be lined up for it.
That's what I said.
That's what I said.
They'll be lined up for the first batch.
Yes, that's what I said.
You said they didn't know who was to take it.
No, I said there will be lots of mind-controlled people ready to take it and people who have children who have no other option.
I thought you said you'd talk to people in Austin.
They said they wouldn't take it.
I misunderstood.
I said specifically the liberal people walking around in downtown Austin who are privileged and rich, they're not taking it.
They're talking a big game.
They're not.
So, it's okay.
It won't take long for us to know who had the vaccine or not.
The ones twitching on the ground will be the ones who took it.
Oh yeah, they're anti-vaxxers, those guys.
Oh yeah.
Well, I have too many medical professionals around saying that they don't want to take this thing.
Nobody likes...
And here's an interesting thing about the concept behind this...
I call it DNA influencing vaccine.
What kind of business model is it really?
If you are striving to change DNA that is passed down from one person to the next.
So the concept, the way I understand the literature, is you as a person, your DNA is going to change, you'll have your T-cell memory, but it's definitely a different way of getting your body to prepare for a viral invasion than typical, than normal.
And your offspring will also have this, that's what they're going for.
They don't know if it's going to work, but they then want the offspring to also be resistant to that particular virus that there's now been a lasting DNA change.
Which to me is a problem on two sides.
One, you can't go re-vaccinate people for that thing.
Because it's fixed.
So you throw away everything, so you've got to charge a lot for it, and you've got to have all this.
I mean, I don't understand how the business model works.
If vaccine actually works, the flu vaccine doesn't.
It comes back.
We have to change it.
But this should change people down the line.
The second thing is, if we start to go for these DNA-changing vaccines...
Eventually, everyone will kind of be the similar, and they won't have the same strengths and weaknesses, and you've got to wonder, if you have the same genetic makeup, should you then be allowed to make children?
Isn't that something that we don't do because of inbreeding, because the DNA pool is too closely related?
I think you're on thin ice here.
Well, I'm asking, I don't really know, but...
The DNA experts are gonna come and hit me!
I'm just saying, I think it's related to a movie I once saw.
It sounds like it.
If everyone's genetically modified.
Where's Michael Crichton?
Hey, the fucker wasn't wrong.
He was right about a lot of things.
Yeah, and somehow he died for some unknown reason early on.
Very young and very unfortunate.
He had to go.
Was it State of Fear?
State of Fear.
What a great book.
Don't worry, we'll be reviewing it again when the Green New Deal comes around to deal with that bullcrap.
So I'm sure that we have a lot to discuss as it pertains to the past week politically, certainly in the United States.
As we had on show day, we had the president's final speech of the Republican National Committee.
Very controversial, of course, from the White House, from the South Lawn.
And I didn't get much from the speech itself.
I thought it was a mediocre, normal Trump speech.
I agree.
I thought it wasn't spectacular.
Ivanka was not spectacular.
In fact, her hair...
I tend to like Ivanka.
We don't really know much about her.
But her hair is too long and too thin for the...
Those kinds of speeches outdoor.
Her hair was flying in her mouth.
It was distracting.
It was just too much.
That was one of the few screw-ups in that absolute phenomenal infomercial.
No, I had a real problem with some of the things I saw.
Well, I didn't have a problem with one thing for sure.
And it really irked me that I didn't know about this in advance because I'm almost convinced that I would have gone to Washington, D.C. to see this fireworks display.
And I have never...
It was one of the best fireworks displays I've ever seen.
It was just full tilt boogie from the get-go, including, boom, Trump spelled out in fireworks, followed by, boom, 2020, followed by another Trump, which, by the way, I think that...
Yeah.
That's a risky bunch of shells, because that could be upside down.
I don't even know how they pulled it off.
That's always the thing you want to see them do, and there it was.
It was rudimentary, but it worked.
I checked CNN, MSN. I was watching on C-SPAN, but I cut back and forth to see who was saying what.
And it was almost as if they forgot that Joe also had fireworks.
Yeah.
Joe and Kamala had fireworks in that little parking lot scene.
It was like the home run fireworks at Wrigley Field when somebody hits one out of the park.
You get a couple of fireworks and you're out of there.
Well, let me just say a few things about the television production itself.
I felt that they had a crane shot which was wobbly as F. I think it was windy.
Okay, well, then they could have stabilized it.
There was a lot of stabilization issues.
Ivanka's microphone was completely misdirected.
I mean, that was a huge...
I could not believe how lame that was.
You know the height of the guest.
You know the person who's speaking next.
Audio guys, bad on you.
And then there were a lot of insert shots which were destructive from a television perspective.
To the overall vibe.
They'd cut to people on phones, cut to people not listening, not paying attention.
I saw at least four audience shots that were the wrong shots with someone on the phone.
Were you seeing these on C-SPAN? Yes, on C-SPAN, yeah.
Are you sure that was the same feed?
No, but I... C-SPAN has a lot of their own feeds.
And there'd be the guys.
They'd have a camera guy there.
Oh, so maybe they're flipping that in.
Maybe they're doing the crowd shots.
Yeah, because I don't see that Burnett would do that.
Thank you!
I was sitting there going, this is wrong.
Something is really wrong with these shots.
If you remember, when C-SPAN does, like the State of the Union, they take these shots of the guy falling asleep, or the Ruth Gator Ginsburg passed out.
I mean, they shoot those shots.
They love those shots.
They always want to get into the network, these guys that are working the cameras on C-SPAN. I think, well, anyway...
The whole evening was most of the speeches leading up to the president's speech.
It was overall kind of mediocre, just in general.
Now, this was the double-striped Trump tie.
So it was red and blue.
This is important because he was mixing both guys.
Red is the go-to-the-rally-and-make-them-nuts guy.
Lock her up.
Blue is CEO Trump.
CEO Trump does the numbers and he does cute little jokes, little things.
He feels the audience.
He knows when he says something that's funny and he'll let the room breathe and people will laugh.
So you have the red and the blue tie, I think was exactly what it called for.
Again, it was not spectacular.
I really liked Joe Biden's agenda is made in China.
Trump's agenda is made in USA. That'll stick.
And he also called out correctly that Biden is sinking in the polls like a rock because of the peaceful protests.
All of that landed well.
And then again, I just appreciate the Mark Burnett Machio mini-concert at the end.
Yeah, that caught me off guard.
It was good, man.
And the song.
So, you know, Ave Maria.
What's the...
That one, everyone's favorite that no one knows the words to or even the title.
And then God Bless America.
Again, audio guys, poor, poor mixing of the crowd.
It sounded like, you know, no one was there anymore.
And that may have been C-SPAN. I don't know.
It seems weird that they would mess up a Burnett feed like that, but there we were.
Well, after you get the feedback that this is an infomercial, you might want to put a couple of guys in there to show what's really going on.
Yeah, but that is election tampering, if true.
You can't.
Yes, it is.
C-SPAN can do whatever they want.
It's election tampering no matter what you do.
They're exempt from FEMA. Bullcrap.
Or not FEMA, the Federal Election Board.
Bullcrap.
I think it's tampering, if true.
But what they did not tamper where they tried is what happened after.
C-SPAN opened the phone lines, and you know how we've done this many times.
They have Democrat line, Republican line, Independent line.
They went to the Democrat line And this is an edit, obviously.
And the whole sequence of these calls is nine minutes long.
I think they also targeted or made sure they were taking kind of New York-like calls to make sure on the Democrat line.
They had to switch to saying Democrat line, Republican line, to supporting Trump line, supporting Biden line.
It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen and just listened to a couple minutes of the calls that came in on the C-SPAN live call-in show.
But do you still consider yourself a Democrat?
No.
I will be changing that.
I'm a lifelong Democrat.
My family comes from the candy Democrats, and I will be voting for Trump this election.
Norma, did you watch the Democrats last week?
No, I did not.
I couldn't be bothered watching them.
I want to tell you also that we were from Massachusetts, and we were lifelong, and my parents were Democrats.
But we're not anymore.
We're Republicans.
America, to me, is freedom of speech is the biggest one that the Democrats have just lost me on.
They've been attacking it.
You know, they keep preaching that they're the party of love and tolerance.
But you've got to read the fine print.
That's only if you believe as they do.
You know, and that's not the way we are in this country.
If I hate every word coming out of your mouth, I'm gonna fight right next to you to make sure you get to say it.
That's what America's about, and they just don't get it.
America needs to stay as America.
I'm very upset with everything that's going on in this country.
And I've been a registered Democrat for many years.
And this is...
I'm done.
I'm ready.
I need a change.
Okay.
I've been in the Democratic Party for a long time and see the way that the direction of the country is headed.
I want America to stay a place that is free, that is pro-business, that is less regulation, that stands for freedom, that stands for defense of our nation.
And I see it going a different way with the Joe Biden potential.
God bless Donald Trump.
I used to be a Democrat until I didn't vote for Donald Trump in 2016.
But after they attacked him so brutally, I said, they're not even giving him a chance.
And he's fighting for America every day.
I've switched completely.
I am now Republican, voting Republican all the way.
No more Democrat for me.
Helen, who did you vote for in 2016?
Well, I didn't vote for Trump, but I am now.
I mean, it just went on and on and on.
It was really embarrassing for the guy who does the calls.
I've noticed this with the call-ins.
There's a few people that are very pro-Biden and they're either drunk or they're just bigoted and they don't know what they're talking about and then everyone else is like this.
This is a trend.
Yes.
Of course it's a trend.
It's a massive trend.
Massive.
It probably got the C-SPAN guys thinking about, I mean, because they have to take these calls.
Well, that's why I believe they changed from Democrat line to supporting President Trump line, because that's all the calls they were getting.
Hell, you're on the supporting President Trump line?
You're right, because it used to be Democrat, Republican, Independent, and now you can't do that because if they're all going to call in pushing Trump, that doesn't give them the kind of, they don't get any balance.
It's not as entertaining either if they hear the two sides.
You want to hear both sides.
Yeah.
I listened to the thing, I thought it was getting tedious, but I got a kick out of Giuliani, mainly because of his punchline, but I took three clips from Giuliani, but we could probably skip the first one.
Because it's just, he goes off in, you know, he just goes off on his Giuliani manner.
Yeah, yeah.
But we can just imagine what the first one was like and skip to part two, and then the kickers in part three.
So if we listen to Giuliani, and this is the kind of, you know, I said, well, it's a little different between the Republicans and the Democrats because one was gloomy.
The last night of the Republican Party was gloomy.
I wouldn't say it was gloomy per se, but it was pretty dark compared to the first three nights where you had the Cuban guy and that poor woman who got commuted and who then they pardoned her.
They were all uplifting stories.
They had a lot of these uplifting stories.
The Cuban guy in particular was one of the best.
But then the fourth night, when they brought the heavy hitters out like Giuliani, they just were after Biden and the Democrats, and it was just...
That was their job, yeah.
That was their job, obviously.
Yeah, so it was the closer.
They were going to just pound him.
They figured...
Their audience has never been...
Never beat the...
For some reason, never beat the Democrat audience in general, except for streaming.
Oh, hold on a second.
I have a clip about that before you get to Giuliani.
Who was that?
I think this was...
Let me see who was bitching about this.
President Trump's long, long, long, long speech last night from the White House.
Long, long, long, long, three times longer than Joe Biden's.
President Trump's long, long, long, long speech last night from the White House.
That was the highest rated thing in the whole Republican convention.
But the president's speech last night rated lower than his own previous convention speech in 2016.
It rated lower than Mitt Romney's speech from 2012.
It rated lower than John McCain's speech from 2008.
It even rated lower than George W. Bush's reelection speech in 2004.
Yeah, hello.
But the thing that will really bother the president is that the president's speech last night rated lower than Joe Biden's speech did last week during the Democratic convention.
This is fantastic.
You cannot compare ratings from 2004 with 2020 with all the streaming and alternative and more channels.
I mean, that's what we call a false equivalency, Rachel.
However...
So, of course, less people watch, because it's old losers who watch TV, like you and me.
So most of those are going to be Joe Biden supporters who are also sleepy, and Trump is the internet president.
Now...
Do I believe anyone has real stats on streaming?
No.
It's just as bull crap as television ratings.
So I don't care.
And I don't care.
It doesn't matter.
We don't have a huge audience, yet here we are.
Alive and doing okay.
But this comparing it to 2004.
Let's look at Rachel's ratings from 2004.
Rachel was trying to make some points for Joe.
Of course, of course.
And Joe deserves some points on the board.
And Trump shouldn't be so freaky about it.
Well, it's not true.
We had more, including streaming.
Oh, who cares?
Shut up.
Well, he's that way.
Yeah.
He's a TV... I mean, he's from that generation.
So let's listen to Giuliani's speech, part two.
Soon, protests turned into riots in many other American cities.
Almost all Democrats...
Businesses were burned and crushed, people beaten, shot and killed, police officers routinely assaulted, badly beaten, and occasionally murdered.
And the police handcuffed by progressive Democrat mayors from doing anything but observe the crimes and absorb the blows.
But the worst of it was the slaughter of innocent young people with their whole lives ahead of them.
The murder of four-year-old LeGrand Talfaro in Kansas City shocked the nation, but not Black Lives Matter or their many Democrat supporters.
Seventeen-year-old basketball star Brandon Hendricks was killed in the Bronx just days after graduating high school and on his way to St.
John's to play basketball.
He passed with only a brief mention.
One-year-old Davil Gardner Jr.
was shot and killed in a stroller at a cookout in Brooklyn.
And it caused no outrage.
For President Trump and for us Republicans, all black lives matter.
And the lives of Legrand and Brandon and Davil matter to us.
All lives matter to us.
These continuous riots in Democratic cities gives you a good view of the future under Biden.
All five of the top cities for homicides, like the top cities for rioting and looting, are governed by progressive Democrats.
Using the progressive Democrat approach to crime, which is to do nothing, substantive to reduce it, to release prisoners, as many and as soon as possible, and to go to war with the police, the only group with the capability to protect your citizens.
I think this was effective for a lot of New Yorkers.
Oh, it may be.
New York had a big story in today's New York Times about how New Yorkers are rushing out of New York City and moving into anywhere, Jersey, Connecticut, into little houses.
But what's interesting is that Giuliani, I forget too, he's been painted as such an evil, crooked horse.
And I forget, I lived in Manhattan when he and Bratton cleaned it up.
I moved there in 87, and it was fun, and I enjoyed Times Square.
It was more fun than the rubber bricks they've got now.
But there were a lot of issues, and those guys cleaned it up.
I think people, New Yorkers, who've been around for a while, went, you know...
Yeah, Rudy did have it kind of cleaned up.
We don't know if he swept people under the rug or threw them in the East River, but he cleaned it up.
He did.
It was very noticeable because I was working at PC Magazine during this year, and I went to New York a lot, and I went during the Dinkins era.
Oh, that was...
The Dinkins era was horrible.
Oh, man.
That's when the editor, during that era, that's when 7th Avenue was just a crack pipe place with everyone.
It was terrible.
Times Square was just the worst, and 42nd Street was loaded with those porn theaters.
It was unbelievable.
And I lived 56 in Broadway.
It was two blocks, two blocks from where I lived.
It was great.
But you had to walk tall and look like you meant business.
Don't stop.
Don't stop for anybody.
David Bunnell, the editor of PC World, was mugged.
Oh yeah, sure.
He was walking around slightly tipsy and then you can't do that.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Yeah, so Giuliani goes into, and here's how he finishes his short clip, and this is, I thought, was the kicker.
It is clear that a vote for Biden and the Democrats creates the risk that you will bring this lawlessness to your city, to your town, to your suburb.
There is no question that this awesome job of restoring safety for our people cannot be done from your basement, Joe.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Yeah, they really got him on that.
I have one 20-second clip from...
From the president, which I thought was something we must play, since we have ridiculed other presidents over this in the past, and he deserves the same scorn, for sure.
We enacted the largest package of financial relief in American history.
Thanks to our Paycheck Protection Program, we have saved, or supported, more than 50 million American jobs.
That's one of the reasons that we're advancing so rapidly with our economy.
Bullshit!
Yeah, we don't buy those statistics.
Saved or supported.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Good try.
You're not sneaking that one by us.
Who writes that?
Who thinks that that's a good idea?
Well, it worked very well for Obama.
We're only one of the few podcasters who picked up on it.
Yeah, yeah.
And so it's like, you know, it's a winner.
Yeah.
It's a winner.
So, Kellyanne Conway, meanwhile, I got a couple clips.
Oh, sure.
She goes on, she quit the job because of her wayward daughter, Claudia.
And George quit the Lincoln Project, too.
Her husband.
Yeah, so both parents coming together.
I went to the Instagram and looked at this girl.
She is out of control.
Yeah.
And I would hate, and you don't want to just generalize, but if you looked up the definition of the word skank...
Okay, I'm going to look up the definition of the word skank.
You might see your picture.
Okay.
A sleazy or unpleasant person or a steady-paced dance performance to reggae music.
Skank.
Yes.
I know what you mean.
So...
So Kellyanne comes on to Fox to explain her situation.
And I just had to clip this.
This is 1.53.
This is 1 minute 53, which is a long time...
In clip world.
In any world.
It's a long time on the air.
So she throws a question to Kellyanne.
So what about your situation with your quitting and all the rest?
And Kellyanne shows that she's still got what it takes because she has been put on the sidelines a long time ago, especially with the new girl.
Hmm.
But Kellyanne shows that she's got what it takes to just yammer.
And she uses connectives perfectly.
You can't cut her off.
You can't get in there.
And this was, I think, this is her swan song, her leaving the stage.
And this, I believe, is it.
Thank you so much, Martha.
I wasn't aware we were going to talk about me, but let's do it.
I have posted my message publicly and have gotten tremendous support from people right, left, and center and nonpolitical people because they understand that we're mothers first, most important, best job, most wonderful job ever.
And it has been such a wonderful ride for a boss and a president that has been so good to the women.
You know, he's been elevating women in business and government on his campaign, in his corporation, in his cabinet.
It's been very natural.
He confides in us, consults us, and whether the men knew it or not or liked it or not, President Trump has always made sure that I and the other women here are going to equal footing with the men.
But I told him on Sunday night in the Oval Office what I was doing, and I said, you know, for the next two months you have to focus on winning, and I have to invest in leisure wear and hover over my kids as they hover over those computers doing school from home.
So what I'm doing is what millions and millions of parents across this country are doing, Martha, which is trying to navigate this new not-so-normal where the kids are learning from home.
And I want to be there for them.
During the spring, I was here every day, seven days a week, when COVID-19 first hit and when we were...
You know, working around the clock, and I didn't have the same opportunity that I want to have now to be there for them.
But when the history books are written, I want people to remember it's Donald J. Trump who plucked me out of plain sight.
I had been working for decades at this, and it was passed over by many people in the Old Boys Network and, frankly, the New Boys Network.
And lots of those candidates lost, but he saw in me somebody who he wanted to help with his team, and it was a big team effort, and he and Vice President Pence won that election by going all across this country.
But when people, you know, we have these handbooks that say women's empowerment, but it's only real if somebody lives it, if they walk it, if they actually promote women, not just talk about it, and he has done that.
Yeah.
Now that I hear this...
Can I... I gotta say something here.
Please, please.
I've analyzed this comment that she made for 1 minute 53 seconds.
It is one sentence.
Seriously.
I would advise anyone to listen to this and listen to it carefully.
It is one sentence with using and, and, and, and, but, and, but, and, but, and, and, and.
She says and about 40 times.
And Martha tries to get in a couple of times.
You can hear a little...
She can't make it.
It's like trying to jump in line.
I can't quite get there.
Doors closed.
And it's astonishing.
She is a real classic, probably the best chatterbox I've seen for a long time.
It's pretty phenomenal.
And she is a woman to be celebrated because she did run the campaign and she did run it successfully.
And it was really, I think her husband, George Conway, has been the problem.
And I think that she either saw it as too big of, he's running the Lincoln Project.
Either it's too much of a problem for her or for Trump or for both.
And she had to leave.
And her daughter, I think, is a good excuse.
And it's also not handy to have that going around.
It's just it's fodder for the media.
And she had to go.
It's embarrassing.
It's a humiliation.
Meanwhile, she did give a speech similarly to what she did at the convention.
And Claudia Conway Went on her account on Instagram or whichever system she's on.
Here we go.
No, TikTok.
She's on TikTok.
You look her up and you watch all her stuff.
This is Claudia's reaction to Kellyanne's speech at the convention.
Look what I did.
Look at what I did, ladies and gentlemen.
Look at what I did.
What?
That's it.
Am I supposed to be impressed?
That was her...
That was her summary of Kellyanne Conway's speech.
She must be very proud of her mom.
Apparently not.
Goodness.
But you can go to her TikTok account.
It's got some screwball name.
I'm sorry I don't have it in front of me.
No, it's okay.
You just Google it.
This is your beat, John.
You know, the YouTube kids.
She's twerking.
She's lip syncing to the most rude hip-hop songs you can imagine.
Oh, let me guess.
It must be Cardi B. She's 15 and you think she's 15 going on 40.
Have you been around 15-year-olds today who are on Instagram or TikTok?
This is what it is.
It's pretty gross.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot.
Oh, my goodness.
Do you have any more clips from the evening itself?
Oh, let's...
I have a CNN response.
Oh, I do have a couple of the intros that might be worth listening to.
Okay.
Because Amy Goodman went out of her way to kind of...
Demean the whole event.
So I got two of these Amy clips.
Let's see if I got...
Well, here's the tease for the segment.
This is Amy's ludicrous Trump tease.
The South Lawn of the White House officially becomes the Republican presidential nominee.
In a speech filled with lies and falsehoods, Trump repeatedly attacked his rival Joe Biden and the Democratic Party.
Lies!
Hey, funky beat Amy's got going on there.
Hey, everybody, it's Amy.
Welcome to the club.
The South Lawn of the White House officially becomes the Republican presidential nominee.
She never really mentioned any of the lies or falsehoods.
She just said they were there.
Here's the Trump event rundown.
This came after that, and it's another short clip, and it's got more of the same kind of vitriol.
Democracy Now!
Democracy Now!
We're breaking with convention.
I'm Amy Goodman.
President Donald Trump formally accepted the Republican Party's nomination Thursday night before a crowd of about 1,500 people on the South Lawn of the White House.
Not wearing masks!
In defiance of social distancing rules, attendees sat shoulder-to-shoulder with few people wearing masks.
It's a super spreader event!
Now, they weren't shoulder-to-shoulder.
You saw the event.
They were separated.
They were not social distancing at six feet.
Nobody said they were distancing, but they weren't shoulder to shoulder.
The seats weren't packed.
No.
They were spread.
No.
With no evidence.
Filled with lies.
Filled with lies, no evidence.
We can go to CBS and I have a whipsaw.
This is another good example.
This is that Chinese correspondent that works for CBS that Trump said to her once, you should ask that question to China.
And then she got all bent out of shape.
Because I'm Asian!
Yeah.
Well, she's a total drip.
And listen to this.
Talk about lies.
Listen, this is Trump on CBS 2001.
Tonight, the president is campaigning in New Hampshire, trying to build political momentum after his speech to almost 2,000 mostly maskless supporters last night on the White House lawn.
Sounds like they didn't have their diapers on.
Maskless!
CBS's Weijia Jiang is traveling with the president.
President Trump is stumping in New Hampshire tonight, where he trails Joe Biden by a significant margin.
In Washington, as social justice protesters marched just blocks from the White House, the president called reporters to the Oval Office to witness his pardon of Alice Johnson, whose life sentence he had commuted two years ago after lobbying from Kim Kardashian.
He ignored questions about the protesters outside.
Meanwhile, his campaign said today that four people who were part of the Republican convention events in North Carolina on Monday had tested positive for COVID-19.
It was a striking display last night as nearly 2,000 audience members did not socially distance and largely were not wearing masks.
The president did not mention the coronavirus until 30 minutes into his speech.
And we'll produce a vaccine before the end of the year or maybe even sooner.
Mr.
Trump condemned looters and rioters and said only he could ensure law and order.
My administration will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement.
That was his...
The whole first...
That's a whipsaw.
Of course it is.
It had nothing to do with the story.
Nothing.
He said...
And I would like anybody out there to find the reference where it said, only he...
What was she said?
We'll listen again.
...produce a vaccine before the end of the year, or maybe even sooner.
Mr.
Trump condemned looters and rioters and said only he could ensure law and order.
My administration will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement.
She reported that with no evidence.
She said only he can ensure law and order.
Where does he say that and why doesn't she clip it?
She has no evidence!
But the point is, is that why does CBS have to blatantly lie about the speech that they have right in front of them?
Well, we do know what CBS stands for, now don't we?
CIA broadcasting system.
Exactly.
I just found that to be the most offensive thing of the entire reportage done by any of the networks, that just an outward, just a blatant lie by this reporter.
They're shameless at CBS. Do they have any editors there that edit for this sort of thing?
Or does Nora, who's I guess the editor-in-chief, which is typical of the anchor, she have anything to say about it?
No.
Before we play the second part, it's interesting you bring that up.
Remember I had the Yamiche clip where she threw out this big whopper of a lie about the president said there were fine people at Holocaust rallies, at Holocaust Jewish anti-Semitic rallies, whatever the hell it was, she said.
Yeah, it was outrageous.
One of our producers caught a blatant lie in the beginning of that clip, and that would have been Judy, that Judy also did not correct.
Do you want to just listen to it for a second?
Oh, yeah.
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 Hershel 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 taking to the streets after we see deaths like Jacob Blake in Wisconsin or George Floyd in Minnesota.
I'm sorry.
Jacob Blake didn't die.
She said deaths.
The example?
Well, she is a really terrible reporter.
She said deaths like Jacob Blake.
Yes, he didn't die.
Deaths.
And where's Judy?
Ho, ho!
No.
None of that.
Yeah, where's Judy?
She's the editor-in-chief, more or less, when you're the anchor.
No, PBS has gone down the tubes.
It's gotten so bad.
How bad is it?
So bad ever since Gwen Ifill died that it's almost unlistenable.
It's biased.
It's really pathetic.
I bitch about this constantly.
But let's listen to part two of the clip with the reporter from CBS who's almost as bad as Yamiche.
Only he could ensure law and order.
My administration will always stand with the men and women of law enforcement.
The president warned in dire terms that the country would suffer under a Biden presidency.
Joe Biden is not a savior of America's soul.
He is the destroyer of America's jobs.
Joe Biden criticized President Trump for holding a, quote, super spreader event at the White House.
There it is!
Super spreader!
About 1,400 people are packed into this hangar.
Masks are required as part of a state ordinance, but most people are not wearing one.
Nora?
Super spreader event!
Meanwhile, she's outside.
I don't know what she's talking about.
In this hangar, she says, as though she's in the hangar.
She's clearly outside in that shot.
She's a super spreader.
Super spreader.
There was a funny bit on CNN after everything wrapped up after these spectacular fireworks.
And Pooper, Anderson Pooper, brought on...
Who was it?
It was Daniel Dale.
I guess he's, maybe he's their political guy.
I'm not quite sure what he does over at CNN, but they made a big deal.
Daniel Dale is here.
Daniel Dale is here.
Daniel Dale.
And he's fact-checked everything, everybody.
He's fact-checked it, and everything the president said was a lie!
Anderson, this president is a serial liar, and he serially lied tonight.
I counted preliminarily more than 20 false or misleading claims.
I want to go through a whole bunch of them quickly because I think it's all important.
Trump said Joe Biden is, quote, talking about taking down the border wall.
Biden has specifically, explicitly rejected that idea.
He just said he'll stop further additional construction.
Trump claimed, as always, that he is the one who passed the Veterans Choice Law.
Barack Obama signed that into law in 2014.
Trump signed a 2018 law to modify it.
Trump said, I have done more for the African-American community than any president since Abraham Lincoln.
That is ludicrous.
Lyndon Johnson, for one, signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
Trump again touted a, quote, record nine million job gain over the past three months.
He didn't mention, as usual, that that gain follows a record 22 million job loss over the previous two months.
He said he'll, quote, continue to lower drug prices.
They've increased during his presidency.
He said they opened a Jerusalem embassy for less than $500,000.
Early documents show it was at least $21 million.
He claimed NATO member spending has increased for the first time in about 20 years.
Spending, in fact, rose in 2015 and in 2016 before he took office.
He said he will always and Republicans will always strongly protect people with pre-existing conditions.
That pledge has already been broken.
He and they have repeatedly tried to weaken those protections in Obamacare.
He claimed again that he banned travel from China and Europe.
No, he imposed partial restrictions with many exemptions.
Tens of thousands of people continued traveling over.
He boasted about the COVID testing system and about his general response.
Look, experts near universally say the U.S. was fatally slow in its response, especially slow in setting up adequate testing.
He said that he ended what he called a NAFTA nightmare and he signed a brand new U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement, the USMCA. That agreement preserves, maintains most of NAFTA. He boasted about building about 300 miles of border wall.
What he didn't say is that most of that is a replacement barrier.
As of August 7th, according to official data, just five miles had been built or not existed before.
He suggested that Joe Biden would confiscate guns.
That's baseless.
Biden is running on a non-mandatory buyback of so-called assault weapons.
He said Democrats want to defund the police.
Biden, again, doesn't, has rejected that.
He said he's, quote, very good information that China wants Biden to win because Biden is soft on China or cheerleads for China.
The U.S. intelligence community says China wants Biden to win because it sees Trump as unpredictable.
He said Biden vowed to close down charter schools.
Biden's plan is skeptical on charters, but would not abolish them entirely.
He denounced Biden for voting for the Iraq war.
Biden did indeed vote for the Iraq war, but what Trump doesn't mention...
Is that he also supported that invasion.
He said Democrats twice removed the word God from the Pledge of Allegiance at their convention.
Two individual caucus meetings outside the main primetime programming did leave it out, but it was uttered in every primetime event.
Trump denounced so-called cancel culture as like an insidious left-wing thing.
He, Donald J. Trump, has tried to get dozens of people into these cancel fire boycotts.
It just went on and on and on, and that guy was non-stop.
He did not stop.
It's crazy.
It's beyond me.
I mean, he says that, yeah, the church is like Biden.
I mean, these are the kinds of things.
You could do this with anybody.
Of course.
Of course.
But that's what makes it so fun.
I mean, you could definitely do it.
You could do it with the media.
You could do it with Biden.
You could do it with anybody.
You could say, well, he said this, but, you know, in fact, I mean, they've, as we've seen before, they have condemned Trump for saying 15 when he should have said 16.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
That's almost worth a clip of the day.
No, not really.
Not really.
It was actually...
It's your gag.
Let's go to this thing that happened this morning.
Okay.
Just to get it out of the way.
Alright.
And that's the bonus clip.
When you work in a bureaucracy or a government agency, they make a big point of write it, don't say it, write it, don't say it, because you say things and then you can't remember them, you get it wrong, and...
Which is, you know, typical.
You don't do gentleman's agreements with your government agency.
You write stuff down.
Right.
That makes sense.
It's called a report, isn't it?
A report.
Isn't a report, by definition, written down?
Things should be written down in many cases, but let's listen to the way they play this one.
Apparently, this story is kind of self-explanatory, but we'll talk a little bit about it afterwards.
There's a good line in here, by the way.
The National Intelligence Director announced a major shift on election security.
Nicole Killian is at the White House.
Hello, everybody!
With 66 days to go until Election Day, CBS News has learned the office of the Director of National Intelligence will no longer brief members of Congress in person about election security, and will instead do it in writing.
In a letter to lawmakers, Director John Ratcliffe wrote, I believe this approach helps ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that the information ODNI provides the Congress is not misunderstood.
Nor politicized.
House Democrats called it a shocking abdication of its lawful responsibility.
With Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff tweeting, the administration clearly does not want Congress or the country informed of what Russia is doing.
You have leakers on the committee.
Obviously leakers that are doing bad things.
The developments come as the president and Democratic rival Joe Biden pivot to campaign mode following back-to-back conventions.
Ah!
In New Hampshire Friday, President Trump railed against protesters who disrupted his acceptance speech and accosted some of his supporters.
You know what I say?
Protesters, your ass.
I don't talk about my ass.
They're not protesting.
Former Vice President Biden and running mate Kamala Harris made separate virtual appearances Saturday, touting a more empathetic approach.
President Biden and Vice President Harris will have your back.
The Biden campaign says the decision by ODNI to switch to written intelligence briefings is deeply alarming and should be reversed.
ODNI says it is fulfilling its obligation to Congress and will keep them fully informed leading into the election.
Jamie?
You'd think that those reports were written down to start with, actually.
Yeah, they used to go in there and tell them what they, you know, here's what we think, and they'd read a report, and then they'd maybe ask a question, maybe not.
And then the shifts, we're talking about the Congressional, the House of Representatives Oversight Agency run by Adam Schiff's intelligence group.
Right, right.
Oh, yes!
And they would just come out and then feed it to the media in the way they saw fit.
Right.
And, you know, so they'd lie.
And so now, because it's written down like it should have been in the first place, it should have never been reported orally, now if some bull crap comes out about one thing or another, Trump can declassify the documents and say, no, here's exactly what it said.
Yeah.
That's where he's got them over a barrel, and that's what they don't like.
There's no reason in the world for Schiff and Pelosi and all these people to get bent out of shape about this being done as a written document.
As I said earlier, government really requires write it, don't say it.
And it's very easy to inject some false information if it's written down, false information, either by giving different copies to different people or whispering an additional piece of information.
It's much easier to find the source of it, the leak.
If they're looking for the leak, I don't think that, and in this situation, I don't think that's what they're up to, because they're not doing these one-on-ones, as far as I know.
But yeah, that is an old trick.
You just change one word.
Yeah, one word, just to see if someone comes up with it.
But I don't think that's the point of it.
I think the point of it is what I said, which is that Trump can declassify it and say, no, here's what actually happened.
So the New York Times guys now won't listen to anybody.
They say, let me see the document.
I'll see for myself.
I was a little skeptical about your theory that President Trump has had COVID and he was cured.
And believe me, everyone I talked to was like...
And I reviewed...
I don't have...
I didn't clip it, but I did go back and review where he talked about taking hydro...
I think you're right.
I think you're right.
Yeah.
Why else would he take hydroxychloroquine?
It doesn't make any sense.
You just don't take it out of the blue.
And he said, oh, I'm just taking it for a week and I'm going to stop.
Yeah.
It's probably right.
Interesting.
Well, I'm surprised you doubted me.
You told me that you thought I was probably right.
But let's go back over the reasons for this.
Why wouldn't he not admit it?
Yeah.
Why would he not admit it?
Because Democrats get bent out of shape.
Oh, he should be in quarantine for two weeks.
Oh!
And time code show opener.
That's what they do.
They say he should be in quarantine.
He's not in quarantine.
He's bumping into other people.
He's got the disease.
He's killing us all.
He's a super spreader.
25th Amendment.
25th Amendment.
Oh, he's not fit.
Yeah, that's the other one.
25th Amendment.
They start calling for that again.
He could be mentally unstable after that.
We don't know.
We don't know exactly what the long-term effects are of COVID-19.
So 25th Amendment...
But he basically said he was taking hydroxychloroquine.
We should have spotted it when he did it.
Yeah, we're such idiots.
As a message to the cognoscenti that I've got it, I'm getting rid of it, and it's going to be because of hydroxychloroquine.
Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
Which is what that was.
He shouldn't have mentioned it at all.
Huh.
But we missed it.
We missed it.
Yeah, we did.
We did.
And I see you've pulled the ISO. Protest is your ass.
I don't talk about my ass.
It's big enough to have a conversation about, Don.
It has its own zip code.
It's so big.
Well, just to pull it back to what's going on with saving people, helping us get out of this, the European Union, surprisingly little money they've made available across the board, 900 billion euros.
But most of that is a loan, and only, I think, three or four hundred billion is actually money that's being given, and the Dutch people are bent out of shape that they're giving the money for Italy and Spain.
It's their tax money that's bailing them out, and what are we going to get in return?
So, you know, that always is bad.
And that's kind of a situation we have here.
Where the Democrat Party wants to save its states who messed up their finances to the tune of tens of billions of dollars per city.
New York City, I think it's $40 or $60 billion.
Los Angeles and California, I have no idea how.
I mean, Texas has problems, too.
But, you know, these are really insurmountable when you get to this, the state and city bonds.
It's a real problem.
And so the trillion, everyone agrees is the third package.
We have a trillion, another trillion dollars.
We've already handed out three.
Suck it, EU.
Another trillion dollars for everybody and businesses and let's eat.
And then the Democrats want an additional trillion for bailing out.
And of course, anyone who's living in a non-state that's in that trouble is like, no, why should I do that?
I don't really feel like helping out everybody to that degree.
I thought personally it would wind up at $350 billion.
Turns out they're getting very close.
The Republican team came back and said, you know what?
We'll do 1.3.
I think they're still going for the 1.35, but here's Pelosi all bent out of shape over it.
Time now for the executive edge and an update on the stimulus stalemate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows failed to advance negotiations on a new pandemic relief package when they spoke yesterday for the first time in weeks.
The pair held a 25-minute phone call.
When asked about the call at a briefing, Pelosi had this to say about the Chief of Staff.
Not even the lead negotiator.
That would be Mnuchin.
We consider...
Whatever his name is.
She's insulted that Mnuchin didn't call.
It was Mark Meadows, who's been in Congress, who all of a sudden she doesn't remember his name anymore.
Whatever his name is.
What's his name?
Meadows.
She's the rudest, horrible woman ever.
There's a couple others on the list, but she's up there.
Whatever his name is.
What's his name?
Meadows.
They're staffing Mr.
Mnuchin.
And if they are willing to meet us in the middle, then we can sit down and talk.
So this is, you called me?
I'm returning your call.
Are you ready to bring much more money to the table?
Talks collapsed after the last relief package expired in July over disagreements on unemployment aid, state and local government relief, as well as school funding.
So she wants halfway.
She wants $500 billion.
It'll be $350.
Watch.
I've seen enough Antique Roadshow.
I've seen Storage Wars.
I know how this works.
Storage Wars is just like...
And Storage Wars.
I know what pricing is.
Oh my goodness.
But with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the Conway Kid, John C. DeVorek.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground.
Feet in the air.
Subs in the water and all the names and ice out there.
Yes, in the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
Let's do a quick troll count.
Hands up, trolls!
Let's see how many we got there.
1733.
We are 77 shy of our typical Sunday show, so I don't know what's going on.
How was the Zephyr today, by the way?
What was the Zephyr style?
It was eight cars, and it was going at normal speed.
Eight car, normal speed, so we have sped up a little bit on the heels of that.
I have a Zephyr economic outlook from one of our producers, Chuck.
Hey, y'all.
My wife works for a, if not the largest freight shipping company in the world today.
She received an email from a VIP in the company.
It stated they are expecting monumental numbers of imports this year into the next year.
So monumental that many records will be broken.
There will be a shortage of truckers and importing jobs.
These were the words of the VIP and the company.
So, I don't know exactly what's happening, but I would say the fact we went from slow-moving eight car to a steady-as-she-goes is good news.
She said that we're going to have a...
That's an interesting report.
Yes.
Freight shipping.
So, where will it be coming from?
China?
China?
Well, maybe England.
England's going to have to do some...
We have to help bail them.
What do they make that we want?
Rovers, Land Rovers.
I said that we want.
Remember, I had one of those.
I don't want one of those anymore.
I don't think it's good for my health.
Or mobility, in that matter.
That is the Troll Room, of course, is where we're counting trolls who listen to the show live.
You can go there yourself and hop right in, noagendastream.com.
That is 24-7.
The best shows, the best podcasts roll nonstop on the stream.
It's a synchronized thing.
You're listening.
You're all listening together.
And you make trolly comments.
You know, you say you're much better.
Your show's better.
You know, that sucks.
The live shows are a lot more fun.
And when you're in there, hit up Doug and ask Doug for an invite to noagendasocial.com.
How do you go about doing this?
You actually just say, hey, Doug, or you can do exclamation mark NA social.
Just type in there, exclamation mark, NA social, and Doug will give you...
Usually, if you say, hey, Doug, give it to me, someone will do that command for you.
What do you get?
Then you get an invite, a special invite, so that you can go right in.
Let me see if we're back up.
Can I give people invites?
Yes, you can.
In your own account, you can...
How do I do it?
You go to Preferences, And invites.
And then you set up an invite.
You can make it expire if you want after a certain time or after a certain number of people have used it.
The one in noagendastream.com is non-expiring.
So that is, of course, our social media, federated social media website.
Can I just post the invite on Twitter?
Sure you can.
Absolutely.
I mean, it's kind of, I mean, I don't know why you would.
You want a whole bunch of dicks to come in, but okay.
It's your invite.
We'll know who invited them.
You're just going to put it out there blank?
I mean, so what do you think is going to come in?
People who are friendly to us?
Think about who's on Twitter.
I don't believe anybody uses Twitter.
I'm sorry?
Okay, I won't do it on Twitter.
It's probably not the place to do it.
Let's thank a few people.
No, let's thank the artist for episode 1272.
We titled that one Buy Stamps.
And nice cover from March...
March, who I believe had also donated that show.
And we know March from our COVID-95 podcaster edition artwork, which is fantastic.
This was the I, heart New York, made up as a burning cauldron of hell with the I, communist hammer and signal symbol, New York and then CCP. It got attention.
People liked it.
It sent a strong message.
I don't know to whom, but it sent a strong message.
We liked it.
Was there something else you needed to say about that?
Yeah, I liked the Cuomo picture that was next to it, which was done as Andrew Cuomo in some sort of a communist kind of propaganda image to correct the record.
He's been doing some pretty good stuff recently.
Yeah.
Why did we not choose that?
Why did we not choose that?
I don't know why.
Those are the two.
They're right next to each other.
And then you made the argument that the New York CCP would show up better on Twitter and didn't actually do it.
Not really.
No, I wasn't actually right.
And I was looking at some of the other imagery.
I should mention this.
I'm surprised somebody hasn't gotten one in.
They have rewritten and redone.
I mentioned this in the newsletter.
People would...
Subscribe would be better.
They've changed the elephant logo that Republicans have.
It's now a rampaging elephant.
Oh!
You're no longer docile, huh?
Rampage.
It used to be a docile-looking icon, iconic elephant.
This is more like a rampaging elephant.
Hmm.
Well, good for them on the rebrand.
And by the way, the Republican Party, just think back to the Republican Party of Romney and McCain and Bush.
These are all dickbags.
The Republican Party now is completely different.
It's like a working man's nationalist party.
It's something very new.
Yeah.
Whatever was presented was not the Republican Party of the Bushes and the Careys and all these.
No.
Or Clinton.
Just as much a Republican.
Call herself a Democrat all she wants.
So...
Bill Clinton was more of a modern Republican than those other guys.
Yeah, and Trump is more of a Democrat than a Republican, at least.
But the party has changed.
I've never been a member of a party.
I have no desire to be.
I don't join clubs.
I've been in all the parties.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And I'm now unaffiliated, because I think that's the way to go, because then they appeal to you.
The parties assume too much about their own members.
Oh, you're going to vote for us.
Well, the whole thing about these parties is just because it's easy for you to click a box and then everything is voted for you.
That's only in certain states.
Oh, it's not in every state.
That's interesting.
Not here.
It's never been here, as far as I know.
You don't even have an option for Republicans.
It's called a straight party ticket.
There are some states where you can just click a box and you just automatically vote for all the Republicans or all the Democrats.
But straight party tickets don't exist in some states, including California.
Well, what we're going to wind up with is we're going to wind up with a Democrat, basically a Democrat nationalist party and a Democrat and a socialist party.
That's what's going to happen.
It's so obvious.
People are either going to be kind of over here or way over there.
I don't think there's any Republican thing anymore.
I'm interested to see how the country deals with the pro-life versus pro-choice, because those are the politically correct terms you're supposed to use.
That's very interesting to see how that goes over in the United States.
And I think the RNC convention did a reasonably good job, if you watched all of it, which no one does, a reasonably good job of saying, hey, you know, Planned Parenthood is all over the poorest neighborhoods.
They always bring, of course, the black community together.
And I think people are starting to pay attention to that.
It's like, well, that is kind of interesting.
Why is that?
And what is going on there?
But otherwise, I did not see the big Roe v.
Wade debate between the two parties.
It didn't really happen anywhere, which would be great for a debate with Biden and Trump, for which I'm not holding my breath.
There's not going to be a debate.
You want to call that Red Book?
Call it.
Well, I don't want to...
Do I want to call it or not?
I mean, I don't want it to happen.
I want there to be a debate.
I want to see a debate because we know it's going to be great television.
We know it's going to be fantastic.
But we also know, and I think the Democrats also know this, even though they really are kind of hiding that they know this.
Maybe they're fooling themselves.
But they know that if Joe Biden goes on stage with Trump, he's done.
So I'm going to call it like a Brexit.
It's like, you know, lots of talk, no action.
I think they're going to...
I'm going to...
Okay.
I'll call it no debate.
There will be no debate with Joe Biden.
All right.
Hold on a second.
It's going in.
We have an entry for you, sir.
And we shall put that in right away.
And this is the August 30th.
This is JCD. We are at...
1255p.
This is a real red book, everybody.
You can get it on Amazon.com.
No debates.
Okay.
Your time stamps are in.
All right.
May the best man live.
I have high hopes.
Nothing but hopes that I'm completely wrong.
Because we want debates.
We desperately want a debate.
And we'd like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for this fine episode we're scrunching together.
Yeah, let's start with Anonymous from Parts Unknown with $444.44.
He wrote in the check.
The best way to be anonymous with these high donation amounts, if you don't want to take a chance, is to mail in a check.
Anonymous from Parts Unknown.
No 333 from me.
I'm going down my own path with 444.
I like a de-douching.
You...
Ooh!
Sorry, the de-doucher wasn't ready.
Come on, de-doucher!
You've been de-douched.
And at the end, he's going to want some jobs karma for my overworked wife.
Anything else?
Is that just...
He just wants the jobs karma, and we're good to go?
No, I got more note.
Okay.
The only time I've ever...
He says, no jingles.
The only time I've ever met anyone else who listened to the No Agenda show was when I went to a very cold Delray Beach meetup.
I can get one of those Deep State University sweatshirts, I'm sure.
I'll meet more NA show listeners if you can get...
Yeah, I think...
They're on...
Yeah, No Agenda Shop has them for sale now.
That's a great, great one.
Very cool.
I've got to have one, and I like to gift them out for Christmas, too.
First time I listened to the NA show was by accident.
I was just starting to listen to podcasts, and I don't know how I clicked on the show, but I kept wondering, who the heck is this Noah...
named Noah Genda.
Noah Genda.
Who's this Noah Genda guy?
Thanks for doing this show, Dermot.
Don't stop.
Give it all you got.
Okay.
All right.
Here you go.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
We've got karma.
Onward with Sir Henry of Flowerfield, 366.
And he sent a check and a note, too.
All right.
He's in Austin, by the way.
Austin, Texas.
Mm-hmm.
My donation, a dollar a day for the last year.
This year you get a little extra, 366.
Your deconstruction is the only thing I need to listen to.
No jingles, no karma.
Thanks, Sir Henry of Flowerfield.
Thank you, Sir Henry.
In Austin, Texas.
Thank you, sir.
See you at the next meetup.
Fleet Larson is next on the list with $350 from Bettendorf, Iowa.
And he writes, in a normal fashion, Ron, I can just imagine...
Ron has elected to take an early...
Maybe I should come in one of these Zoom conference calls with one of you guys and I can answer questions.
No, there's an idea.
That's not in the note.
That's what I'm suggesting.
Yeah.
You know what's going to happen now?
You can get about 20 emails saying the following.
You should join our Jitsi meeting.
Yeah.
I'm probably not going to do any of it, so don't get your hopes up.
It's just hot air, people.
It's hot air.
It's totally hot air.
He's lying!
I'd like to do it.
My heart's in the right place.
Anyway, he continues saying he's apparently donating.
This is for Ron.
He's apparently donated enough to be a knight, but has little staking.
He's not staked his claim.
Nonetheless, our group would like to help Ron start his retirement off right with little donation toward his baronet status.
Since in retirement, he may not always be able to afford his own mutton and mead.
Ron will have to claim his own title for his knighthood, but for now our group is going to refer to him as Sir Ron the Oriental Drummer.
Let's put him on the list.
You want to put him on?
Okay, we can do that.
He can change it later if he's not going to take enough effort to make it in the first place.
This is from his group.
His group's calling.
Okay, so it'll be Ron and he will become Sir Ron of what?
Sir Ron the Oriental Drummer.
Apparently he's got one of those big giant drums he pounds while he's wearing a loincloth.
That's my image.
Oh, that's hot.
Okay, he's on the list.
Give Ron a shout-out from a group and a little goat karma for his great retirement.
You've got...
I'll take this one.
We got Adam Siegler from Rock Island, Illinois.
De-douche me, Podfathers!
You've been de-douched.
Holy crap, I've been a listener for ten years.
This is my first donation.
Well...
That's fine.
First, last, doesn't matter.
Finally, enough value for you.
We appreciate it.
I was hit in the mouth by producer C-Mike in Kansas City.
It did not take much for him to convince me that No Agenda is the best podcast in the universe.
It took me a few months before I became a regular listener, but I've been along for the amygdala shrinking ride ever since.
C-Mike needs to be called out as a douchebag!
That's a douchebag!
Douchebag!
I even gave him fair warning, something might be coming.
Also, it's not a competition, but let it be known that I have more human resources than C-Mike does.
Yes, C-Mike has, I think, nine children, so love to know what your tally is, Adam.
Others I have hit in the mouth that also need be called out as a douchebag.
Well, here we go.
He's quite a list.
Frank, the well-dressed arms dealer.
Douchebag!
Jacob, the integralist international composer.
Douchebag!
Drew, the savage strongman.
Douchebag!
And Riley, the tactical maniacal beekeeper.
Douchebag!
And Matt, just Matt.
Douchebag!
He doesn't get a fancy name because he doesn't listen enough to the show.
No karma needed, but I do have some jingle requests.
Don't eat me Bo Jiden.
Live in the mac and cheese life.
Goat scream.
Today, August 30th, is my 40th birthday.
A show day and a great time to donate.
33333.
Thanks.
Special thanks to my smoking hot beautiful bride and wonderful crazy human resources.
I love you all so much.
Alright, this note is long enough.
We need to get back to doing the work.
Love and light.
Your brother, Adam of Rock Island, Illinois.
Kilo Delta 9 Alpha India Echo.
73 from Kilo 5, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie!
Don't eat me, Bojart, and you're scary, so scary!
Living the mac and cheese life!
Mac and cheese!
You've got...
Karma!
Dame G... S... Dollar sign, G... G money!
Dame G money!
G money!
Hey, Jumani, Jumani, 3333 in Dallas.
Dallas, Texas.
Jingle, Sharpton song, getting lunch at Chipotle.
ITM, John and Adam, love your work.
Long time since I donated, so please dedouche me.
Oh, you got it too much.
You've been dedouched.
Hasn't been that long.
Hasn't been that long, Jumani.
She felt it was too long.
Yeah, I guess.
I donated, so please do.
Okay, I also give a shout-out to Surcal of Lavender Blossoms.
His CBD solve is magic.
It truly is.
And donating is love.
She's getting lunch at Chipotle.
The Tortoise in the race.
Kim Kardashian, Sigournoy Weaver.
Rush 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 much.
Resist.
Just a little bit.
We much.
We must.
And we will much about that be committed.
That's the only one we have.
It's a little long, but we don't have that many jingles today, so there you go.
It's a fun one.
I liked it.
Gee, money, we love you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Now you've got another long note from Joel Selovich in Revere, Massachusetts.
That's $333.13.
In the morning, first-time donor.
I'm a procrastinator by nature, but this donation should have been done a long time ago.
I bought the money order and didn't send it right away, and it generated a streak of bad luck, including my water heater rupturing, flooding my place, stepping on my favorite sunglasses, and just last night, while cleaning up after a crazy storm, I... I caught, it is handwritten, I caught a branch in the head giving me first order black eye.
Who knows?
Well, first ever black eye.
Please de-douche me.
Yeah, you bet.
You bet.
De-douche me before I continue my streak of bad luck.
Thanks for all you guys do.
It's worth more than I can afford.
I am in desperate need for some supersized shot of goat karma to cover.
One, my first human resource due at the end of October.
Two, becoming a 46-year-old father, first kid.
Hey, hang in there.
I always say hang in there.
And three, a streak of good luck to help me somehow afford this new chapter in my life.
Please, and it works out.
Please inform all the good producers and fence sitters to become parents.
Our current crop of people are failing.
Good people make more good people.
Now get out here and bet or give the full load.
I haven't hit my...
Oh, I haven't hit mi fumando expose caliente in...
been due to slight language barriers, but I will get her soon.
Oh, she hasn't hit his wife in the mouth.
Thanks for everything, Joe Selvich, Revere, Massachusetts, on...
Oh, one last thing.
All MA producers, vote Dr.
Shiva!
And, uh...
Hold on a second.
I had one for him.
I'm going to give you the whole load today.
Hold on a second.
I'm going to give you the whole load today.
At least give him that.
Is there something else we needed to do?
Yeah, he wanted some goat karma.
Ah, the goat karma.
That's what I was waiting for.
You've got karma.
By the way, Adam, Adam of Rock Island, 10 human resources.
Wow.
Yeah.
They call him the Womb Raider.
I want to skip back to last week before we go to Dirty Dick Bangs in D.C. This is our $828.55 donation that we had no note for.
And so she writes in.
Obviously, I sent the email to the wrong address.
A request for Trump's...
Okay, she wants...
This is the 828 donation.
It's a lot of money.
She wants the Trump's arouse China a-hole, and it's true for jingles.
I would like my donation of 828.55.
Credit to my smoking hot hubby, Danny Carroll.
Not only is his 55th birthday on 828.
I think he's on the list.
But this donation will also bring him to the round table.
I couldn't think of a better gift.
He never asked for anything.
And in my life with him, he's always been my knight.
So what better gift than to make it official?
I'm requesting that from henceforth he be known as Sir Danny, Surveyor of the South Point.
Knight of the River Hog.
H-A-W-G. Please bring yummy buns to the table.
Round table.
Yummy buns, whatever that is.
Now, is he on the list for today?
I believe so, right?
I don't know.
Take a check.
Okay, take a check.
Special request for Trump's...
Okay, Trump aroused China assholes, too.
Thank you for the continued shrinking of the amygdalas.
Deanna Carroll, future dame of the best podcasts in the universe, and she has some other accounting for the...
And what is his name?
I'm sorry.
I'm in a different screen now.
It's fine.
Now I've got to back it up to figure it out.
Night, night, night.
He wants you to be known as Sir Danny.
Yeah.
Surveyor of the South Point?
Yeah.
Got him on the list.
And I have the yummy buns.
And I also have what you requested.
It was hard to get it aroused.
And it is hard to get it aroused.
But we got it aroused.
Chinese asshole!
Hey, come on.
Yes.
There we go.
You've got...
Karma.
All right, got that out of the way.
Dirty Dick Bangs, meanwhile, comes in with $333 from Washington, D.C. The Swamp.
Thank you for all you do.
The sanity you provide is priceless.
I got three call-outs and a karma request.
Team ABC, Archer Campbell, bangs, age three, loves goat screams.
Barrett Alexander, Alexander, bangs, age four, loves the drone sound effect.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I can't go that fast.
Here we go.
Here's this drone sound effect.
There you go.
Sounds like a swarm of bees.
And Colton Reed bangs, age 16 months, no clue what he likes, he can't talk.
So how about another goat scream?
Ah!
There you go.
Brother.
Now for daddy.
Big, need big sales karma.
I'm in the process of protecting our military from themselves, i.e.
the Chinese, and need big sale karma to get my customers to make a big purchase.
Unfortunately, I'm up against the largest solution integrators in the world.
Let's see.
Who do you think that might be?
Microsoft, Oracle, Booz Allen.
Who would rather melt DOD budgets?
These big beings would rather melt the budgets?
Raytheon.
With free open source solutions that could be IBM, too.
They're big open source solutions.
Yeah, well, they're trying to hijack Linux, for sure.
Yep, with open source solutions that require thousands of bodies to maintain solutions that never work.
Now, that sounds like IBM. Yeah.
Just ask the guys who put together that Obamacare website.
For all of our military folks listening who might someday have purchasing power for our DoD, buy proprietary software, not open-source, quote-unquote, free solutions.
When you think of free open-source software, ask yourself, free like a puppy or free like a beer?
Remember, puppies poop, pee, destroy things, need costly vets.
Vet visits have to eat.
So is free free?
One more time.
Yes, I'm asking twice.
Big sales karma, please, if I get this deal, you'll be making jingles about me.
That means he's going to become a duke.
Yeah, I know where he's going.
Big if because I've got aforementioned CLS, our own DOD stupidity, and my company's screwing me all the way.
All getting in the way.
I'm sorry, I can't read today.
But hopefully KarmaWorks already helped me get a new aforementioned...
My mother beat cancer and provides us three human resources.
Karma's worked so far.
Your beloved Baron Dirty Dick Banks of DCPS. I'm not one of these nice parents who donates in their kids' names.
No one gives you anything in life.
You take it.
That most important lesson in life is what my kids get instead of peerage.
Oh, God.
All right.
Well, I am hoping that you get a big-ass sale out of this, so I'm going to throw in a goat for the sales.
Karma!
You've got...
And I'll take Sir Hirko of the papal fiefdom of Utrecht in the Netherlands 333.
In the morning, John Adam, I'll keep it short and simple, as my self-perceived witty writing in my first note caused John to butcher it.
Despite missing my job's karma, jingles, and dedouching as an instantite, I was laughing out loud about the consequences of the cold read of me trying to be smart.
I've been wearing my night ring with pride since then, of course.
A new donation was already overdue, so when I took my kids to an indoor skydiving center...
And I got the helmet with number 333.
It was a sign from the heavens.
The local slave administration tells me I turned half a century old last Friday, 28th of August.
Doesn't match the quarter century Adonis I see in the mirror every morning.
Even so, as I just missed the other Thursday show, can I get on the birthday list in arrears?
As my jobs karma was missed on my first donation and only indirectly restored, some fresh new dealer's choice jobs karma would be very welcome.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your courage, jingles, juice, amazing, see something, say something, and yes, we will up that jobs karma for you with the jobs karma we know is guaranteed to work.
If you see something, say something.
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
Oh my god, that is amazing!
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yes!
We have Sir Dave come in.
Hey!
Duke of America's heartland in the Arabian Peninsula at your service.
3-21-23.
He's got a report.
First things first, I was unfired last week.
I'm now out of the Schrodinger's cat-like existence of being stuck in a Saudi Arabia-shaped box while simultaneously being fired and not fired.
All right.
There's a few people out there that will get that.
Yes, they will.
Quite funny.
Quite funny.
Very intelligent.
So thanks to the No Agenda Collective for all the jobs karma.
This stuff works, people!
That said, we're all expecting that we'll be fired again come October, so I'm pretty sure I'll be leaving the contract at the end of the year and humbly request a bit more of that juicy jobs karma, as now I definitely need to look for a real job.
I've been quietly submitting applications for a few months now.
Honestly, other than returning to Dame, Melody, and Elisabella, Isabella, and Isabella, the dames, our lovable mongrel rusty, I've not been that keen on returning to the land of my birth.
Everything just seems so insane back there right now.
I'd prefer to bring my family to the kingdom where we only have to worry about the occasional celebratory wedding gunfire and rogue Iranian missiles or Houthi explosive drones flying by.
But as they say, Big Sky Little Bullet!
Well, that's funny.
Is that what they say in the UAE? Hmm.
I get the joke.
Yeah.
I mean, I get that.
I can see what this is saying, because these guys, you know, they have a wedding.
They shoot all these guns in the air.
Yeah.
And bullets couldn't come down and kill people.
Yes.
Unfortunately, I have no agenda show to counter the media narrative and bring me to a sense of calm and peace.
That means you can come back without worrying about it.
Three cheers for no agenda.
Hip, hip, hooray.
And hip, hip, hooray from us.
A goat karma for you and the ladies.
You've got karma.
Surveiled in FEMA Region 4 in Palmetto, Florida, it's $300, and he wants to say he's been upgraded to Barron.
Ooh, very nice.
Title change coming up.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Dude named Daniel is our first associate executive producer.
I want to thank all these people, by the way.
This is a pretty good list.
It's a very good list.
Arlington, Virginia, 275-75.
I'm Knight of the Infinite Forgotten Wisdom, your Humble No Agenda Meetups admin here.
He's our guy who does the website.
The Meetups.
Meetups.com.
I would like to thank all the wonderful producers on No Agenda Meetups who helped chip in to cover the renewal costs for our domain and hosting and who made this donation possible.
Thank you for the excellent media assassination twice a week on Thursday.
That is so...
And Sir Dude Named Daniel, this is gratuitous karma from us.
We appreciate it.
You've got karma.
Deborah Reese in Hillsborough, North Carolina, 26060.
In the morning, John and Adam, please do a birthday shout-out to my smoking hot ex-husband, Rob Lee Hall, who turns 60 on the 1st.
Despite the fact that I'm very mad at him and we live apart, we have managed to stay best friends and have great sex and listen to No Agenda together.
While having sex.
All at the same time!
Woo!
With your help, we have stayed mostly sane while living here in North Carolina under Comrade Cooper's tyrannical reign.
Please say a big F.U. Cooper for us, and thanks you for all that you do.
F.U. Cooper!
F.U. Cooper.
Said Sir Ed Boutalier in Hesperia, California, $250, and he has the nicest note.
Keep up the great work!
Sabrina Coddington, $200, from Kailua Kona, Hawaii.
Aloha, kakahiaka, John and Adam.
Two years ago, my husband Chris Coddington donated $200 to your show in hopes for some medical healing baby karma and...
Today, our son Emmett turns to and is doing so well after many reconstructive surgeries.
This is good news.
Happy birthday, sweetheart.
This donation of $200 will officially remove me from the list of being a super douchey bag lady.
I often listen to the show before my husband gets to it, and that irritates him.
He smacked me across the mouth and I am hooked.
For our son's birthday, we will be celebrating despite our mayor's new 10-people-only rule inside or outside of the home.
Family and friends on neighboring islands tell us that the fine on Maui for not wearing a mask at the beach is $5,000 with freeways and tunnels on Oahu being shut down and...
And used as COVID testing sites in and out of the city.
I can't help but feel like our state officials want us to live like communist China.
I'm officially a 12-gauge shotgun owner now.
All right, very good.
That's Joe Biden's weapon of choice for the women.
Pfft.
As a singer-slash-musician, I thankfully kept my weekly gig since the reopening of Restaurants in May while releasing a couple of new songs, one in particular with a rapper at Omar Shabazz called All Lives Matter.
It has gotten good feedback with only a couple of you're racist comments.
Anyway, I'm very proud of this project.
Thank you both for keeping me mostly sane as I take care of our three children, homeschool, and grow lots of fruits and vegetables in case the boats stop coming.
Now you've got to think about that.
My husband is a sexy man who works so hard to take care of us.
As a plumber, often working long hours.
The kids and I love him more than he knows.
My favorite part of the day is hearing them all say, Daddy!
Hey, when his truck pulls into the driveway, can I get a Pelosi jobs, jobs, jobs for our sons Tristan and Emmett, as I frequently hear it being muttered under someone's breath while playing with their toy trucks, and a don't-eat-me-bo-giden for our daughter Reagan, as she has been the bravest and best sport about doing online schooling, helping take care of her brother.
She enjoys parodies of Joe Biden.
P.S. John, I'll never forget you calling me a hottie after seeing my music pamphlet in a gift box my husband mailed to you from Hawaii.
I was postpartum and felt fat.
It made me laugh and cry good tears at the same time.
Do you see the impact?
Do you see how we change people's lives?
John, you should be very proud of yourself.
Sabrina Barron, then the Coddingtons.
Thank you very much.
Of course we've got that for you.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
I noticed a trend.
A lot of people are a lot of sexed up on the donations today.
Yeah, it's a time of year.
I mean, it's a time.
It's obviously a reflection of the baby.
It must have been screwing nine months ago to an extreme.
The birthday list today is out of control.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if they're fresh babies, but yeah.
Okay, onward with the anonymous donation of 200 bucks.
Please keep me anonymous.
Okay, we did it.
You guys rock.
Your show is spreading like wildfire amongst my military veteran buddies.
All right.
We have our older parents listening now, too.
Well, you're in a group of well-wishers.
That's pretty good.
We have people write in saying, oh, I keep hitting people in the mouth.
Nobody cares.
Anyway, it's a hell of a show.
More donations later as able.
All right.
Thank you.
Later as able.
Later as able.
Thank you to the buddies.
Thank you to your buddies and the buddies' parents.
All are welcome.
All are welcome.
Michelle Friedlein in Durham, North Carolina.
200 bucks.
Donation in honor of my handsome hubby Darren Friedlein, whose birthday is the 31st.
This is also a de-douching for him and myself.
I want to call out Chad.
As a douchebag, he needs to step up and pay up.
Douchebag!
Jobs karma for my son.
Keep up the great work.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Sir David C. Pugh in Massillon, Ohio.
200.
He's our last donor for today's executive producer, associate executive producer segment.
Had a great time at the Northeast Ohio meetup.
Connie is a douchebag.
Douchebag!
And we're pretty sure that Sparky is a spook.
Sure.
Any meetup over 10 people, there's a spook.
There's a spook for sure.
There's always one.
And they check in, they're just checking, you know, checking to see what the deal is.
And they're just as valid as a part of Gitmo Nation.
I mean, the spooks believe in us too.
Yeah.
And they're always around, just checking, checking.
Just checking in.
They don't want things to get out of control.
Make sure you're on message.
Yeah.
Can I get a job's comment from my wife, Amy?
Thanks, Sir Dave Pugh.
Can you imagine the spooks that go to the meetups come back and say, well...
Good news and bad news, sir.
It looks like everything's on track.
They have the right messaging, but the goat thing is very concerning.
We're worried about...
We don't quite understand that it might be code for something.
We need to keep going to these meetups.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
And we have that.
And I believe we have meet-up reports from the Midlands later in our second segment.
You know, when you go to a city council meeting, there's always one of them there, too.
It's always funny.
Oh, spooks?
Yeah, of course.
Thank you, too.
But the problem is they still don't blend in.
I think they do it on purpose, but nobody else notices it but you.
You notice it.
I notice it.
People who kind of have a clue notice it.
But apparently nobody else notices.
Most people's view is pretty much the area that surrounds the palm of their hand.
No one else is looking around much these days.
That seems to be the general gaze direction.
And thank you all, our executive producers and associate executive producers.
Darn good, Liz, today, actually.
Thank you so much.
It helps a lot.
That kind of support.
It's part of our value-for-value methodology, our philosophy, and the network system.
You get out of the show what you put into it, everybody is supporting it one way or the other with clips, with artwork, with information, boots on the ground, and finances when you can, and whatever you think it's worth.
Just translate that into numbers and send it off to us.
You can do that at Dvorak.org slash NA. And we'll be thanking more people later on, and I guess you're up to speed on pretty much everything.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Shut up!
Shut up, you!
Why?
Shut up!
Just as kind of a call back to the first segment, I do want to read a note from one of our producers, Sir Vance, actually, Night of the Pacific Northwest.
I had a recent experience with COVID that I thought you might be interested in.
Two weeks ago, we were visiting my family in California while we were there.
My brother's wife tested positive for COVID. We cut our visit short, headed back to Washington and self-isolated.
I checked in with my doctor and he went with the CDC guidelines of not getting tested unless we showed symptoms and quarantining for 14 days.
The interesting part is my brother got tested for COVID. He took the test that says if you even come in contact with someone with COVID and it came back negative.
So either the first test was wrong or his test was wrong.
Meanwhile, my mom asked if we got tested, and I told her, no, that's not what our doctor recommended.
She said, that's wrong!
Trump is influencing the CDC, and I should go around my doctor.
Not wanting to go down the rabbit hole with her, I ended the conversation.
She's a big Rachel Maddow viewer.
Thanks for all you do.
That'll do it.
So, we can do Black Lives Matter, we can do OTG, what do you have planned?
Just so everyone knows, we never know what clips or ideas each brings to the table, except our own.
Well, I have a couple of things on here that's kind of interesting.
I have a few clips that, by the way, there's a new Dutch podcast on slavery.
Oh, brother.
People once called it the triangular trade.
European ships went to Africa, then carried slaves to the Americas that formed a triangle on the map.
The Netherlands was once a great sea power and played a significant role in this trade.
Now two women and a podcast are transforming the Dutch conversation.
It's the new two girls in a cup.
It's two women and a podcast.
...about history and race.
Joanna Kakissis has their story.
Peggy Bauwe was relaxing at home in the port city of Rotterdam when she got a phone call that surprised her.
A white journalist wanted to do some research about the slavery and her family history.
There was some kind of connection between her family history and my family history.
This was the first time that I spoke with a white person about slavery and their connection with it.
Balva's parents are from Suriname, a country in South America that used to be a Dutch colony.
Her ancestors were enslaved on a sugar plantation there.
This is such a conflagration.
This is what this whole Dutch Pete thing has been about for the five, six years we've been following it.
We just want you to know, reparations coming for the Surinamers, for the Moluccas, the Indonesians.
Yeah, yeah, we want reparations.
And you talk to the first generation born Dutch Surinamers.
Like, yeah, we deserve money now.
It's no different from American slavery.
No different.
Well, you can keep going for a long time with this.
I've got to look into that podcast, see who's really producing this.
Oh, it's dreadful.
It's not really a podcast.
It's an eight-part series.
These should be called something other than a podcast.
I don't mind.
You can call that a podcast.
I don't mind.
I'm not going to...
Let's listen to a couple more things going on.
CBC has like 35 podcasts.
And they have this podcast of podcasts that they show, and it's played on one of our local PBS stations, one of the weakest ones, K-A-L-W. And...
But I have a, this is one, this clip is CBC Podcast Showcase, and apparently I have a question for you after we play this clip.
Hi, I'm the Naba Duncan, and this is the CBC Podcast Showcase.
So today we're sticking to the new stuff.
For the next half hour, I'm going to be sharing the latest shows that are fresh out of the podcast oven, and that means new seasons of old favorites and hot new shows that haven't been broadcast anywhere else.
Today it is our new and notable episode.
Let's do this.
Okay, your question?
How do you have a hot new show that's never been broadcast?
I want to know.
Well, it's bullshit.
It's called marketing.
It's called promotion.
I mean, they're promoting their own stuff.
So it's a hot new show.
It's hot.
It's hot, baby.
It's sizzling.
Like Michelle Obama's Spotify-only podcast.
I would consider it's a hot new podcast.
And by the way, thank you to the developers who heard my call and are very curious about Podcasting 2.0.
There is a fresh podcast recorded and coming your way very soon, so you can find out what it is.
And let's help everybody with these hot new podcasts.
Let's make it even better.
Let's play another.
This is a rando podcast from the CBC. It just has a little clip that I thought was interesting because it's using a lot of buzzwords.
This is the rando CBC podcast.
You know, Fabiola, this is exactly the kind of systemic racism that Kennedy was talking about.
Yeah, and a lot of this history is hidden.
And if we don't do the work...
Oh, yeah.
There was a good article about...
What was this article?
Called Luxury Beliefs.
No, it was in the New York Post.
Luxury beliefs are the latest status symbol for rich Americans.
And the whole crux of the article is just like people who feel they're in a higher class often...
I subtly want you to know that they are in that class, i.e.
by not driving a brand new car, but, you know, it's six months old, wearing, for someone who knows, very expensive clothing, but not too flashy.
And now this is part of this luxury belief.
It's like, well, I'm doing the work.
And that's how you get out of it.
Anyone who says, I'm doing the work, is full of crap.
You read a book?
Wow.
Yeah.
It's a good article.
It's in the show notes.
It's worth checking it out.
It's pretty funny.
So as we kind of transition to some thoughts on Black Lives Matter, we had one of the promoters, a black writer called Robin Maynard.
She sounds more like a valley girl, but I think she's Canadian, too.
And she's on one of the CBC podcasts.
And this podcast is, by the way, I will say this is, what about them podcasts that show that they keep wanting me to do?
I'm now, I'm doing the work.
So you're going to see a lot of these clips from these screwy podcasts.
This one, this podcast is called Oppo.
Sorry.
Two women that...
This is a model for a lot of podcasts.
It's like the morning zoo.
There's a model.
This model is two women who are apparently pals that like to shoot the shit, and they think that their conversation is worth making a podcast.
So this is one of those types of podcasts.
So here's a woman that is a black feminist radical, and she wrote a book, and now we're talking about...
Democrats keep saying, oh, you know, defunding is not the same as abolishing.
We don't want to abolish.
Here's a woman that's actually honest and talks about the naive belief about taking a capitalistic system, because they want to get rid of that, too.
But the system that we currently have needs police.
But no, it doesn't need police, if you can imagine a world without police.
And here we're going to hear a couple of minutes lecturing about What does it mean to abolish the police, to defund and then abolish the police?
And what kind of a world are we talking about?
This is what the idealism that you get from a Sandy Cortez and other people like that.
This is Robin Maynard on Abolish Police OPPO. Joining us today is Robin Maynard, black feminist, writer, activist, and educator.
Vanier scholar at the University of Toronto and author of Policing Black Lives, State Violence in Canada from Slavery to the Present.
Welcome to the show, Robin.
Hi, thank you so much for having me.
For those of us who have a hard time picturing an alternative to the present, I would really appreciate you painting a picture for us of what our society and especially what our policing situation could look like here in Canada, say 20 years from now.
If you were to have like an ideal scenario, what does the police look like?
Thank you for asking that.
So I think that what you're getting at is a really important question, which is how do we shift from the very violent reality of the present in which policing is a kind of public health crisis, is a crisis of racial violence in our society, how do we move away from this kind of future that's so predicated on harm into something that could actually be considered more of a just society?
So I think that it's really important for us to actually envision the possibility of police-free futures.
We're seeing a really strong movement across North America, across American and Canadian cities to push to defund policing, to demilitarize police, and even to dismantle policing as we know it, to envision the abolition of policing and instead investing in the conditions that could really render people safe in our society, which of course is a project that would require significant investment.
But if we think about the mass amount of public funds that go into policing federally, Provincially and municipally, we realize that we already have the resources to actually address social and economic issues differently.
When you say that, I mean, I can picture in my mind a system where we have a specialized sort of mental health unit that deals with mental health and wellness checks that would be better than our current system.
And I can picture, you know, an end to the war on drugs where we don't criminalize, for example, drug use.
I can picture that very clearly.
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
That's a perfect example of what we were just talking about.
Picture that clearly.
It's very clear.
You can do it.
And by the way, this is something I picked up on this from this clip.
The police are now considered a public health crisis.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
But that's by whom?
By the entire Democrat Party?
I don't believe that.
Just some of these radical luxury beliefs.
The people who are holding the signs and protesting part of the Democrat Party.
Yeah.
Which is, the Democrats have not disavowed.
No.
If they disavowed, okay, I'm not going to harp on this.
Let's play part two.
I have a much harder time picturing a society in which we don't have some kind of police unit or some kind of police system to deal with concepts like homicide, right?
How do we manage that kind of a scenario?
I think that what you're getting at is the fact that, of course, there are always going to be some kinds of crises that require a rapid response in our society, and I'm not suggesting that we wouldn't need some way of addressing, of course, you know, emergencies.
But if we look at what policing actually does, if we understand the role that policing serves in our society, we know that up to 80% of police calls are responding to precisely what you'd mentioned, mental health crises, drug overdose, suicide, and domestic disputes.
So what we think about as policing and the mass She really glosses over domestic disputes very quickly.
I need to stop this.
Domestic disputes are very, very, very destructive.
One of the worst problems and one of the most volatile, dangerous situations you as an EMS, as a police officer, can come in contact with.
And...
Where there is a domestic dispute, the law is, in most places, someone has to go away from the home.
They will take someone in.
Good luck with your social worker doing that, because there's often alcohol involved, drugs involved, there's children, there's confusion.
Guns and knives.
For her to gloss over that shows her dipshittedness.
Crises, drug overdose, suicide, and domestic disputes.
And it's at the end, like...
You have no idea what you're talking about, lady.
Well, you might as well also notice something else that she did.
She never mentions robbery, thievery, burglary, muggings.
None of this.
None of this.
What is it?
A cab driver has a gun to his head and he's got to give him the money.
Send it to a social worker.
Everything should be done by a mental health or social worker.
We need no police.
No police.
In fact, I know, certainly in Colorado, where one of my friends is in this business, that most of the calls, certainly for emergency services, 911, will be things like a morbidly obese, this is very sad, but a morbidly obese person, 400 pounds, they rush up, and then the person will be like, yeah, I couldn't get my smokes from the table.
That's a true example.
Could you bring my cigarettes over here?
I couldn't grab them.
A lot of it is they have to go out for everything.
That, yeah, that would be good to have a different program in place, but we got one number, 911.
Ah, these people make me angry.
...percent of police calls are responding to precisely what you'd mentioned, mental health crises, drug overdose, suicide and domestic disputes.
So what we think about as policing and the mass kind of funding and institution that is the police in the present day really has nothing to do with, for the most part, really the issues that you're raising.
So I think that if we really understand the roots of violence in our society and how to address those meaningfully, we need to understand that policing has broadly not impacted violence and how to meaningfully address violence.
If we look to even reports that have come out of Ontario over recent decades, we see that even things like addressing issues like gun violence, the reports that have come out about that are not recommending...
More police and more policing as a solution to this, but we're talking about investment in community programming, investment in after-school funds, and issues like this.
So if we again get to the root causes of violence in our society, so much of that is related to and exacerbated by economic injustice, which of course is delineated along racial lines.
So by investing in things like housing, in social services and supports, we see that we could actually drastically redress the root causes of violence in a way that is a lot more meaningful.
No, you don't see that because you're not pointing to any studies or any actual evidence.
Man, Canada is just as bad as here.
Happy to see that.
Jeez, dipshits.
We mentioned Ron Paul right in the very beginning.
I do have a late-breaking clip of his experience, his commentary.
Wow.
I'm actually the author of the Breonna Taylor Law to end no-knock raids.
So the irony is lost on these idiots that they're trying to kill the person who's actually trying to get rid of no-knock raids.
My feeling is that there is interstate criminal traffic being paid for across state lines, but you won't know unless you arrest them.
I promise you that at least some of the members and the people who attacked us were not from D.C. They flew here in a plane.
They've all got fresh new clothes, and they were paid to be here.
It is a crime to do that, and it needs to be traced.
The FBI needs to investigate.
They were inciting a riot, and they would have killed us, and the police had not been there.
I don't know if that...
Well, it could have been.
It looked pretty scary, actually.
I saw the first snippets, and I'm like, eh.
But then, no, it got a little hairy there.
Well, his wife wasn't happy.
I don't understand why they didn't have limos waiting for him at the place to pick him up.
Because they literally all thought, it's a two-block walk to most of these hotels.
It's two blocks!
No, this was a sabotage from the D.C. mayor.
At least that is what the narrative was from the Republicans.
She could have kept it safe.
No, she chose not to.
And she's a president, too.
She's a Democrat.
This is what the crowd sounded like.
I like it!
Some crazy people in that crowd, man.
Crazy people.
Now, I heard this also came in this morning.
I didn't know this.
Advising the players on their social justice initiative, former President Barack Obama.
On Saturday, a source confirmed to NBC News the phone call was at the NBA players' request and included LeBron James.
Obama's spokesperson saying he was happy to provide advice on Wednesday night to a small group of NBA players seeking to leverage their men's platform for good.
Okay, so let's see what the result of that was.
I think LeBron James made a huge mistake by weighing in on the situation before all the evidence is in, which is not uncommon because I even saw Fox News taking the, ah, shot an unarmed black man in the back.
There's a lot we don't know about this.
We also said, hey, we don't know what's going on.
Seven shots seems a lot to me.
He's not dead, so I don't even know if all of them hit.
We don't have any information.
Not enough.
Certainly not enough for King LeBron, King James, to say this.
He's sitting here telling me that there was no way to subdue that gentleman.
Or detain him.
Before the firing of guns, you're lying to not only me, you're lying to every African-American, every black person in the community.
Because we see it over and over and over.
If you watched the video, there were multiple moments where if they wanted to, they could have tackled him.
They could have grabbed him.
You know?
They could have done that.
And why does it always have to get to a point where we see the guns firing?
And his family is there.
The kids are there.
It's in broad daylight.
And who knows?
I mean, if that video is not being taken by that person across the street, do we even know if we even see that video?
There's, like, talks about that the cops didn't even have their body cams on.
That's a possibility.
Um...
It's just, quite frankly, it's just fucked up.
I know people get tired of hearing me say it, but we are scared as black people in America.
Black men, black women, black kids.
We are terrified.
You don't know.
You have no idea.
You have no idea how that cop that day left the house.
You don't know if he walked up on the good side of the bed.
You don't know if he walked up on the wrong side of the bed.
You don't know if he had an argument at home with a significant other.
You know, one of his kids said something crazy to him and he left the house steaming.
Or maybe he just left the house saying that today is going to be the end for one of these black people.
That's what it feels like.
That's what it feels like.
It just hurts.
It hurts.
And it's through the grace of God that he's still living.
Like seven shots, close range, and he's still alive.
That's through the grace of God right there.
And my prayers goes out to that family and that community.
But I got nothing nice to say about those cops at all.
Okay, so that is the Obama message as passed on by LeBron James.
I think it will hurt him in the future, and it will hurt the game of basketball, and his only qualification here is the color of his skin.
He has no current reference to what the other people in his community is talking about, so-called fellow black people.
I did not have a chance to speak with Mo yesterday.
We're doing a show on Monday.
So I'm going to withhold, but I'm pretty sure I know what his response is to what happened, and we really don't know what happened.
But it's okay, because the Democratic Party and the media, in particular CNN, will abuse this family to no end for political means.
This is Jacob Blake's father, in one of his many interviews on CNN. Have you heard anything from the White House?
Has President Trump tried to reach out to your family?
That's a negative.
President Trump didn't mention Jacob Blake's name last night in his speech.
Did you want him to?
Well, if I have to tell you or want you to do something and you don't want to do it, there's no need for me to mention it.
Because then it's not coming from your heart.
I talked to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for an hour on the phone.
And when President Biden was talking to me...
Notice the mind control is so deep, it is now President Biden.
And when President Biden was talking to me, I mentioned a story to him by when I was eight years old.
He said, that was you?
And I said, yeah, that was me.
And he said, well, that makes me old.
I said, well, you said it, not me.
And then Vice President Harris was, they were so comforting that you almost forgot how...
The situation was really playing out.
They relieved some, they made Jacob's mother stop being nervous for like 40, 50 minutes.
And she's so nervous and so worried.
And I don't think people understand the worry of a mother.
That's her baby.
More abuse came from Anderson Pooper.
And of course, scoffingly brought up the police department's version of what happened.
point back blank range As you know, the Kenosha Professional Police Association, which is a police union, they said that, they late today said that Jacob was armed with a knife, didn't comply, that he had fought with police and put an officer in a headlock.
I know you aren't able to say much about this, but were you aware of this?
Is that accurate?
Some people say Brussels sprouts taste good.
I don't get the reference.
I hate Brussels sprouts.
You don't want to talk about this?
Okay, so he's being talked to by Crump and Sharpton and the same a-holes who come out and there's t-shirts.
It's really lame what's going on with this collusion.
We don't know what happened.
Stop it already!
Yeah, that's going to happen.
No, of course it's not going to happen.
No, what's going to happen is they're going to listen to Kamala, Vice President Kamala.
It's clear that I know that there are protests still happening in major cities across the United States.
I'm just not seeing the reporting on it that I had for the first few weeks.
That's right.
They're not going to stop.
This is a movement, I'm telling you.
They're not going to stop.
And everyone beware, because they're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And everyone should take note of that on both levels.
They're not going to let up, and they should not.
And we should not.
Okay.
Wow, she's inciting a riot.
I would say so.
What does she mean by on both levels?
I don't quite understand that.
She said people have to understand this on both levels.
I'm like, what kind of levels?
I have to hear that clip again.
Just this last bit here.
And everyone beware, because they're not going to stop before Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
And that should be, everyone should take note of that on both levels.
On what levels?
What levels does she mean?
Everyone should take note of that.
On both levels.
They're not going to stop.
So she's part of it.
Oh, yeah.
Who would vote for her, but okay.
She's not going to stop.
She's already vice president, according to some.
On both levels.
Man, it'll come to me in my sleep.
We'll have it by Thursday.
Thursday?
You know what Thursday is.
Red Stamale Day?
It's my 56th birthday.
What?
Yeah.
Okay, we have a special...
So give us some donations.
Yeah.
$3.
September 3rd.
I'm not old enough for it to matter.
56.
No, no.
What's the 3rd?
The 3rd of September?
Yes, it was the 3rd of September.
$93.
$93.
Oh, boy.
Beauty.
Oh, brother.
Yep, $93 donation for Adams.
So if anyone doesn't get the newsletter, go to thedvorak.org slash NA and do an open donation for $93 and say, Happy Birthday, Adam.
Thank you.
Let's see.
Well, I got a couple more little guys.
You got some Black Lives Matter stuff?
No, I'm going to push the Black Lives Matter stuff off because we don't have enough time.
Okay.
And it's because it's too crazy.
I do want to do, I do have some, I've been picking up a new news source, which is, you know, the anti-China website and news presenters from Epoch Times.
There's some new Belt and Road issues here that we got to get out of the way so people know what's going on.
Ooh, lovely.
I love some new Belt and Road.
Is New York now part of the Belt and Road?
Manhattan?
Not yet.
In June, the CCP launched its plans for a transportation corridor to Uzbekistan that goes through Kyrgyzstan.
As Business News website and Telenews reports, however, the program to build a railway has met with, quote, unending construction delays.
The program now relies on freight shipping through Kyrgyzstan, where anti-CCP sentiments are growing.
And the issues the CCP faces in Kyrgyzstan are similar to what the Chinese regime is facing in similar projects, including in Tajikistan and Balochistan.
In all of these areas, China is becoming the target of terrorist and nationalist movements that are increasingly viewing the regime as their main enemy.
To counter this, the CCB has been giving training to local government forces and also encouraging them to defend China's shipping lines on its behalf.
But it's now becoming clear this may not be enough.
Now, where's this all heading?
When it comes to the way the Chinese Communist Party is trying to protect its supply chains, when it comes to shipping along this, say, One Belt, One Road initiative, its current method, when dealing with terrorist organizations and others, is to get the local countries to defend its own supply chains.
These countries, a lot of times, however, do not want to get involved with terrorist organizations and fighting against them on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.
And so the CCP is now being left with that effort.
And what's it going to do?
Well, it has two options.
One is send the Chinese military in to protect its supply chains.
But doing that is sensitive as well.
Because, for example, imagine if the Chinese military gets in a shootout with different, to say, radical groups of one kind or another in these countries.
Well, it's going to look a whole lot like what happened in India along this border dispute where the Chinese military killed around 20 Indian soldiers and turned pretty much all of India against the CCP.
Hmm.
Yeah.
That was interesting.
This guy also has an interest.
I got two clips.
Three clips total.
We can take a break.
This is interesting.
This is, you know, Trump always likes to...
I remember when he ran the first time, he said, nobody was even paying any attention to the migrant crisis of Build-A-Wall, all the rest of it, until I came along.
Then everybody was scrambling around.
Well, I think China's the same thing.
If it wasn't for Trump, we wouldn't have had any noticeable changes about China.
And the DNC has responded.
Listen to this clip.
This is a DNC-Taiwan policy change.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party platform had an interesting change in its policies on Taiwan.
As Washington Times noted, in 2016, going back, the DNC's platform stated it was, quote, committed to a one-China policy.
The one-China policy, again, is the CCP's statement claiming that it owns Taiwan.
Again, one-China, as they say.
In the new DNC platform, however, this has been changed.
They've removed the mention of the One China policy.
Everything else is basically the same, though.
It states still that they support the Taiwan Relations Act.
That was in 1979.
Under which the United States would defend Taiwan from an attack by the CCP.
And it states that Democrats, quote, will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-strait issues consistent with the wishes and best interests of the people of Taiwan.
Nah.
you you Thank you.
that's trump no kidding I mean, of all the crazy socialist stuff they have on their Democrat platform, they pulled that little one China thing because they knew Trump could leverage it.
Oh, yeah.
So they pulled it out.
Yeah, of course.
Just get rid of it.
Of course.
That's what you want to do.
Of course.
Now, with the last Epoch Times clip, this guy's a lousy presenter, but, you know, the stories are good.
And this is the gearing up for an attack in China.
Hold on a second.
Where is this?
Under China.
Ah, gearing up for attack.
Got it.
Oh.
...into a bigger picture of what's happening in China right now.
It is holding wartime propaganda.
For example, putting up posters, making proclamations and so on, warning of a possible war from outside.
A big part of these wartime drills in China also include nuclear preparations, because they believe that if there were airstrikes on China in the event of a war, that very quickly it would create a nuclear crisis in the country.
This is based on assessment in China that if there were ever airstrikes in the country, very quickly this would mean that the nuclear power plants in the country would be hit, and they have many of them.
And so any strikes on China would very quickly mean different forms of nuclear fallout.
And so its wartime preparations include things on that.
But at the same time, the CCP is using this for internal propaganda.
At a time when the CCP is under attack, at least ideologically from many different areas...
There's, um...
There's some more China news.
The TikTok saga continues, and it's just gotten a whole lot interesting as China now is saying, hold on a second, we may not allow export of our valuable recommendation engine technology.
We might not let you buy it at all.
We might not let any American company buy it.
Which is an excellent troll.
This is the kind of warfare I enjoy.
Because Trump will have, I believe, will have no problem shutting it down.
And that means that 100 million children will lose their collective caca when they're When the app goes away.
And let's see, I think it was CNBC had a quick little chat with TikTok's interim CEO about the possibilities of now Walmart joining in the bid.
Now, you may not be that involved in deal talks, but you're certainly involved in the company and how the company could change under any of these owners.
You didn't mention Walmart.
Walmart surprised a number of people.
What kinds of assets or advantages do you think...
You, TikTok, could bring to Walmart as part of that Microsoft bin.
I love the idiocy of this question.
What good would a doll have?
How could it benefit you?
I mean, really?
Could you be selling stuff?
Junk?
Yeah, so, I mean, Walmart's certainly interesting.
You know, for us, we've been really focused recently on rolling out some e-commerce features.
We've been providing that for our creative community.
It's another way for them to earn a livelihood.
Creative community.
You know, it's also something this week alone.
We actually launched our live shoppable e-commerce links, so...
I think there's a lot of different synergies there, but certainly right now we're really focused on just providing this amazing platform for all the communities to come together for that creative expression.
Oh, yes.
It's only about the creative expression of all the communities and the platform, and it's also beautiful.
Bullcrap!
Did you ever watch these things?
Now, the problem is, it's really funny.
I mean, just sitting on TikTok and just letting it roll is entertaining.
There's no doubt about it.
I question this.
It's addictive.
I have not been addicted to it.
I've gone on this thing and I've gone through these things and I've looked at a lot of TikTok.
Some of the stuff's amusing.
It's mostly people making a fool out of themselves or falling down.
It's like America's Funniest Home Videos on steroids.
And at some point, watching people hurt themselves seems to me not to be that funny.
Well, again, you underestimate the American audience, the American public.
People love that.
And if you go watch America's Funniest Home Videos, that's what it is!
Ha ha ha ha!
He hurt himself!
It's money in the bank.
A big fat woman falls on her ass.
It's money in the bank.
And this is being played.
China is playing Trump, or they're playing his game.
They're on his level.
And they're going to say, no, no, we're not even going to let you buy it.
It's a smart move.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
It's the move.
It's the move.
No, it is the move.
And Trump knows that now he's boxed in because what it means is that he's going to alienate half the country who are jacked up about TikTok so he can't kill it before the election.
That's right.
And if he loses the election, he can't kill it after the election because he won't be in office.
He could kill it during the interim period.
If he doesn't get re-elected.
I think he's just going to let it go.
He's not going to say anything.
And then China's going to ratchet up and he's just going to let it go and he's not going to say anything.
I think that's his best strategy.
I do find the whole thing just funny.
That is what it's come to.
We have people without jobs.
We have people who are in long, long food bank lines.
But what the young people of America seem most concerned with is tuk-tuk.
It's, uh, I think it's a sign of the times par for the course.
No.
Definitely.
Hey, I see you have the clip.
I'm just, before we take a break, Abe.
Which clip do you like?
Abe.
Uh, Abe.
Oh, yes.
First of all, Abe quits.
Yeah.
In Japan, Shinzo Abe said Friday he's resigning as Prime Minister due to poor health.
Over nearly eight years in office, he remained pro-nuclear despite...
This is a, this, Abbie, it worked out pretty well with Trump.
They did it, you know, they worked together.
Yeah.
So there's no way that Amy is going to present Abbie as anything except in a negative light.
A heel.
A heel.
He's a heel.
Yeah.
And so, now listen to the clip with it in mind, this is Amy Goodman who hates Trump.
And he has severe bowel issues and he just can't, that's what he said.
Yeah, instead of being sympathetic to this poor bastard, this is the report she gives.
In Japan, Shinzo Abe said Friday he's resigning as prime minister due to poor health.
Over nearly eight years in office, he remained pro-nuclear despite the 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown following the earthquake and tsunami.
Throughout his career, Abe tried unsuccessfully to do away with Article 9 of Japan's constitution, which renounces war and bars Japan from using or threatening to use military force.
Oh, man.
Very compassionate.
Very compassionate.
I did read on the BBC that Black Lives Matter is pushing Japan to confront racism for all the slavery.
Yeah, Paper Cuts of Racism.
Public broadcaster NHK aired a segment to explain to Japanese audiences what was happening in the U.S. with the protests over George Floyd's death.
The report in a news show aimed at younger audiences featured an animated video depicting the protesters as gross stereotypes.
I mean, they're going all out.
And by the way, when it comes to cartoonish depictions of people, in particular young women and girls...
Japanese art is not completely understandable for us Westerners.
But I think it's interesting timing.
Now we're going to get strife.
Now Japan's going to get crap.
He's on the outs.
Who's coming in?
Will Black Lives Matter?
You could easily see crazy-ass protests in Tokyo.
This is a global movement.
Oh yeah, there's a global socialist movement.
It's global.
Marxist, actually.
That's not real.
Yeah.
It's, you know, it's only going to go as far as people let it.
I do have a, just before we go to a break, I do have an ISO. Okay.
Dream come true.
Ooh, can't wait.
We're going to make this dream come true.
Sharpton, eh?
Hold on, let me see if I have any competing ISOs.
What do I have?
Uh, these are all sent to me, user-generated.
Bag of dicks, all of them.
Yeah, okay, I don't think we'll use that one.
What's this one?
No, we're not going to use that one.
We have a screaming woman from the DC protest.
Okay, and I think this one is a contender.
I get the joke.
None of those will do, I guess.
No, none of those will do.
No, either dream come true or Trump's ass, one of the two.
I think Trump's ass may be better, personally.
Let me see, Trump's ass, because it's kind of long.
Protests is your ass.
I don't talk about my ass.
See, I think I don't talk about my ass if we just use the end bit, it's better.
I don't talk about my ass.
I was thinking about that, but I... You know, I was thinking about that, but I think your rigidity and bigotry toward these very, very, very, very sub-one-second clips at the end of the show, I think is unwarranted.
Well, we've never really had them more than three seconds.
They're supposed to fit into the mic drop, so they've always been that length.
Yeah, well, how long is the Trump's ass one?
Well, it's...
In the South Lawn of...
Oh, sorry.
That's the wrong one.
Shoot, I don't know.
Let's see.
I think it's two seconds.
Is it?
Three seconds exactly.
Protests is your ass.
I don't talk about my ass.
See, and it's also two, it's clipped together.
I mean, I can...
Okay, good.
Dreams come true is good.
I mean, I don't want to be a douche about it, but...
You are.
We're going to make this dream come true.
I'm going to show my sword by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
We have a few people to thank.
We show 1273, including Sir Austin Barron of the Puget Sound in Seattle, Washington, 133.
13353 has got a birthday shout-out for his wonderful wife, Dame Laura, of the Snowy Cascades.
Sir Rossus of The Giver, Atlanta, Georgia, 12345.
Anonymous, 120 in Grand Island, Nebraska.
Sir Pat of The Overtaxed.
Or the overtaxed in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada, $100.
Sarah Gonzalez in Houston, Texas, $100.
That's a word of long no for some reason.
But it's dedicated to her smoking hot husband, Rolando.
He turns 42.
He's not on the list.
Hold on a second.
This is...
Hold on.
Rolando...
Let me check this.
I was setting up for the next segment.
What line are we at here?
Just for my...
23.
23.
Okay, what does Sarah say?
Now, because this is about Rolando Gonzalez, who does a lot of our end-of-show mixes, and why is he not on the list?
I don't understand.
Rolando Gonzalez turns 42.
Send a note to Eric.
And, uh, well...
She never wishes him a hat.
She never used the code word, birthday.
So if he does a search, he's not going to find that.
He's not going to read these notes.
Okay.
I was just asking.
I'm telling you.
I'm sure that was the reason.
Okay, I'm done.
You can move on.
I've got it.
Oh, okay.
We've got Scott of the Tall Corn in Davenport, Iowa, 8008.
Sir Brian Kaufman in middle Scottsdale.
What?
In Scottsdale, Arizona, 7575.
He comes in every month.
Sirly Mofo.

Took me a while.

Another birthday?
These are like three birthdays in a row for Ben Tucker.
Kevin Carlyle in Birmingham, Alabama, 51-15.
Scott Nelson, 50-01 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
And the following are $50 donors, including Sir Bebop, Robley Hall in Hillsborough, North Carolina.
Then there's an extremely long note from Cassidy Eastwood.
Well, it's not extremely long, other than that this is a damehood, and I think we should read it.
Bonjour!
A few episodes back, Jimmy James made a generous donation towards my damehood after the Okie Town meetup.
I am delighted to inform you that this contribution got me to damehood.
When I heard his donation for the exact amount, I needed to achieve this noble status.
I was so excited that it brought me to tears.
Thank you, Jimmy James, and also wants to say merci beaucoup to friend Dave, who back in October donated towards her damehood in honor of her birthday.
This prompted John to yell into his echo tube, Dame Drive, Dame Drive, and thus started the concept of the Dame Drive.
Dave's creativity in a birthday gift will result in the daming of many.
One last person to thank.
Your anonymous dogpats.
Thank you for matching Dame Drive contributions.
And at the roundtable, she wants blunts and real sugar Pepsi.
And her Dame name is Dame Cassidy of Dimension A. And thank you very much.
And we'll see you there momentarily.
I forgot to ask for a de-douching for anonymous in Grand Island, Nebraska.
You've been de-douched.
Mike Sheeks in Carmel, Indiana.
These are all $50 donors.
Stephen Crummey in El Cajon, California.
Christopher Kessler in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
Dame Knight in Edmonds, Washington rounds it off.
Those are our producers for show.
1273.
Yep, 1273.
I want to thank each and every one of them for contributing and all the ones who gave us lesser amounts.
Yes, and please consider supporting the show for Thursday, the first Thursday of the week.
It will be my birthday, so I'm sure we'll have a special donation for that.
But regardless...
Of $93.
Remember that you are in control of the show.
You produce it.
What you send us...
Do not...
And I will say, do not...
Send us a note that says, I'm surprised you did not have this piece of information and talk about it on the show!
Because I'm usually surprised you didn't send it to me.
And don't worry about sending too much stuff.
I'm in control of my system.
Thanks everybody.
Dvorak.org slash NA for the next show.
Support us once again.
Dvorak.org slash NA. And I'm sure we've missed the jobs karma for somebody somewhere.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
It's your first day back.

Thank you so much.
And Adam from Austin becomes Sir Adam from Hooverville.

Let's see, we have...
Ah, yes.
No Agenda Meetups!
The Meetups, which you can find at noagendameetups.com.
This is one of the great features of our show where producers from around Gitmo Nation get together self-organizing organisms.
It's really quite a beautiful system how it all works.
And I have a couple of reports.
Let me see.
Midlands Meetup Report.
This is from Sir Michael of Calgary and Vegas.
And I actually believe...
Let me see.
That's in Northeastern Ohio...
Mmm, I guess I just have this one.
This is Earl Walkman, recording from the No Agenda meet-up here in Northeast Ohio.
Hello to the Troll Room.
Darren O. We're gonna go around the table here and introduce everybody.
Hey Adam and John, this is Sparky from Ohio.
I really love you guys a lot and I miss you so much.
Hey John and Adam, this is Douchebag Pat from Michigan Local 1.
Invading Ohio.
In the morning, this is Sir Christopher from Macedonia.
Hey Adam and John, it's Connie from Ohio, the ultimate douchebag.
Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your courage.
This is Nick from Medina.
Thank you for your courage.
This is Sir Dave Pugh from Macedonia, Ohio.
Love you guys.
No homo?
Well, maybe a little homo.
In the morning.
This is Sir Vicks from Michigan, just visiting.
Alright, we're going to hit another table.
This is Sir Real Estate from Cleveland.
In the morning.
This is Dame Ashley, Lady of the Lake, and I'm doing the work.
Hi, John.
Ooh, you got a little hi, John, there at the end.
From Sir Lady of the Lake, very nice.
Then we had Berlin.
Sir Donald Winkler, who's our baron, he said, just a quick meet-up protest report from Berlin.
Wanted to hold a meet-up during the protest, but as I wrote you some days before, canceled it because of uncertain legality of the protest.
A dude named Daniel contacted me through the meet-up website that he and his wife were planning to go to Berlin for the protest and see Robert Kennedy Jr.
and the city.
Saturday came along after dates of behind-the-scenes legal battles.
The protest was finally given free, and so we all went there.
Unfortunately, due to nonstop overload of the cell towers, we couldn't find each other amongst the masses of protesters.
But Baron Donald Winkler was the host.
Dude named Daniel from Den Haag, the Netherlands.
His wife Sophie from Uganda just recently moved to Europe.
And not that into the show yet, and Donald's friend and colleague, Sage Dieping, who was a Berlin immigrant from the UK, also a douchebag, were attending, and obviously it was an interesting day.
And we really appreciate your attempt at getting a meetup done there, Sir Donald Winkler.
Here's what's on the calendar for today.
It's the Arizona 10.30 a.m.
So I guess that started maybe over.
That was at the benches near the terminal at Sedona Airport.
One o'clock in Anaheim Hills out of the Park Pizza.
Also today, West Seattle Burien School from Home Redux at four o'clock.
So you can still go to that one.
Coming up Wednesday, Denver City City at 6 o'clock at the Western Plaza of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
Also brand new on the list on Wednesday, Local 1, MoFax, No.
2, Dexter, Michigan, 6.30.
That's a combo meetup.
Meet in Sloan Preserve Trailhead.
Details at noagendameetups.com.
On Thursday...
Now, it says Thursday, September 4th, but I'm pretty sure my birthday is on September 3rd.
Is the 4th on Friday?
Am I mistaken?
No, no.
You have to know when your own birthday is.
Well, that's why I'm confused.
I'm looking at the back office information.
Now, Thursday is...
So it says September 4th, but it says Thursday.
I don't know if that's...
If the 4 is wrong or the 3 is wrong, but September 4th...
Well, the 3rd is your birthday.
The 3rd is on Thursday.
Yes, but it says September 4th, Thursday.
It says September 4th, Thursday.
So is it Thursday the 3rd, or is it September 4th, Friday?
Which is wrong?
We don't know.
Well, this isn't one of these things that we usually catch, or I don't catch.
I don't do it.
But they usually catch it, and it's something that annoys Mimi to no end.
Let's see.
Oh, it says it right here, even.
Meetup might be September 3rd, Thursday, for the Londoners, but it might be...
I don't know.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
There's a lot of cool stuff there.
If there is no meetup near you, or if it's a confusing date, like September...
The 4th on Thursday.
Just do a meetup on Friday, September 3rd.
You can do it all at 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.
Triggered or held the blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
Oh, I think I understand what happened.
It's like a party.
So the entry is probably UK time, and then through magic of translation of time zones, it showed up on our calendar as the fourth because of the time.
Something like that.
Who knows?
That's nuts.
We'll figure it out.
Call around.
Hey, I have one of our producers sent an odd commercial.
I have an odd commercial for you.
Do you have a pharma commercial?
No, I have just an odd commercial.
I picked off one of those Canadian podcasts.
Well, why don't we just...
I don't know.
You kind of missed your Canadian podcast segment.
Now I'm curious.
Okay, which one is it?
It says...
I've lost a list of clips.
It says Weezer or something.
Here it is.
Weird Drizzly Ad.
Did you know that with Drizzly, you can actually get drinks delivered right to your door in under 60 minutes?
Yep.
With Drizzly, the number one alcohol delivery app, all you have to do is open the app, shop a huge selection of beer, wine, and liquor, and hit order.
Plus, you can shop across multiple stores in your area to find what you want at the best prices.
Download the app.
So what was so weird about it?
They're selling alcohol.
What, a 60-minute delivery of booze?
I mean, come on.
Even Amazon can't pull that off.
Well, Instacart delivers booze.
They do?
Yeah, in Texas.
Well, Texas is a boozy place.
They used to have drive-in liquor stores.
Ah, Texas has all kinds of regulations.
It's not a booze.
Yeah, we drink a lot.
And most people drink while driving.
You can have a beer in your car in your lap while you're driving around in Texas.
Wrong.
It's only allowed to do that if it's a truck.
Not in your car.
You can drink in your truck.
This is a drug called Phenapt.
And Phenapt is for schizophrenia.
Now, schizophrenia, I don't think I can ever recall an ad for a drug for people who have schizophrenia.
And schizophrenia, I think, is very scary when you hear about these symptoms, and maybe it has something to do with we're all being locked in, or we feel we're locked in, we feel restricted, we're watching TikTok videos and scrolling through Instagram.
Well, listen to what they're talking about.
This is a commercial.
It's so good to see you.
You too.
So really, how are you?
Oh, well, look.
That's what we're both taking right now.
Phenept.
You know, it's really been helping me manage my schizophrenia.
I used to hear these terrible voices.
I used to feel like everyone was staring at me.
But we're doing much better now, right?
FNAPT is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
In clinical trials, FNAPT significantly improves symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo.
FNAPT may change your heart rhythm, which could elevate risk of sudden death.
Your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication first or may instruct you to take a smaller dosage of FNAPT. The good thing to know is we're not alone.
Ask your doctor about FNAPT or go to FNAPT.com.
This is...
That ad?
Wait, did both women have schizophrenia and they're having a chat?
It may be just one woman talking to herself.
I don't know.
Well, that's what I was thinking.
But it had a really deep base with heartbeat rapidly increasing.
And if you...
I wonder if you have schizophrenia, if you hear voices and you're listening to an ad that has actual voices whispering, holy crap!
That's got to be triggering or at least have that risk.
That is the weirdest.
I'm giving you a clip of the day.
Well, I appreciate that because I'll take the clip of the day, but it's a little scary for me.
Clip of the day.
Well, don't be afraid.
I think it's sick.
This is not the same.
It's a different ad for the same product, I think.
Let me see.
I've never heard of this.
How much do they have to sell it?
The general audience, the number of schizophrenics out there is pretty low.
For one thing, you've got to catch them watching television.
I can't imagine how much they sell these pills for.
Now, do you really think that it's that low?
Again, I have a feeling...
That people are going to bed or maybe just walking around and it's impossible not to be affected by the TikTok videos, by the Instagram stories, and it's one after another.
You literally have voices in your head all day as you're watching this stuff.
No wonder it might continue when you're by yourself.
Here's the full commercial.
Do you know how it feels to live with schizophrenia?
I am a good parent.
Jared?
I'm hearing the most awful things.
People shouting at me.
It's okay.
When you live with schizophrenia like us, you can feel like you're living in a different world.
You should definitely talk to your doctor and ask about FNAPT. Okay.
FNAPT is approved for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults.
In clinical trials, FNAPT significantly improves symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo.
Here's that heartbeat again.
With a little mic feedback.
Cynthia, are you okay?
I feel like everyone's out to get me.
FNAPT may change your heart rhythm, which could elevate risk of sudden death.
Your doctor will consider this when deciding among treatments and may prescribe another medication first or may instruct you to take a smaller dosage of FNAPT. Remember, you're not alone.
There is help.
Ask your doctor about FNAPT or go to FNAPT.com.
I don't know, man.
I just found it very disturbing that you're right, that there's a need for a commercial.
But it's so widespread.
I mean, they've got to be looking for return on investment.
If you're schizophrenic, you're usually under somebody's care.
So this was apparently aired the other day during the GOP, a.k.a.
Fox News convention.
Ha ha.
Okay, troll.
Got it.
I don't know.
I'm just worried that people are going slowly schizophrenic, no matter, I don't know how it, you know, whether it's As they portend in their information that there's a chemical imbalance in your brain and that's what this drug changes.
I looked it up.
Somebody's out to get me.
Yeah, that's another one.
Isn't that paranoia?
That's not schizophrenia.
That's paranoia.
It's a whole different drug.
Well, take both.
Anyway.
I thought it was kind of creepy.
I'd love to hear from someone who is either taking it or if you've been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
It sucks for sure, but I'm just wondering about people hearing stuff just because of the influx of social media.
I don't know.
I could be wrong.
That's pretty strange.
Okay, well, I got a few clips left, I think.
Okay.
That might be useful.
All right, well, let's play one because it's time for us to go.
We got the drizzly ad, the Canadians bickering.
Okay, well, this is a good one.
This is Amy again.
And this is an ironic clip.
It's the Heat Ray story.
Heat ray.
OK.
In related news, the New York Times reports top officials with the Department of Homeland Security in 2018 suggested deploying to the U.S.-Mexico border a so-called heat ray designed by the military to make people's skin feel as if it's burning when they're within range of the weapon's invisible beams.
The disturbing suggestion reportedly came two weeks before the 2018 midterm election as President Trump pushed for extreme action to stop a caravan of thousands of refugees, mostly from Central America, coming to the United States.
Heat ray?
Why doesn't she just call it what it is?
5G. She's a big promoter of 5G, but she doesn't like these heat rays.
That's great.
Yes.
Of course, it is a directed energy weapon.
It's fun for the whole family to play with it.
It's great.
Well, thank you all so much for supporting this show for today.
You've done us proud.
We hope we did the same for you.
We return on my birthday, confirmed, September 3rd is Thursday.
Birthday boy, coming up.
That's right.
I'll be 93.
And I will once again be, hopefully the day after the Rogan show, so I can talk about that.
Coming to you from...
How are you doing that this Wednesday?
Wednesday, yeah.
Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital of the drone star state, FEMA region number 6 on the governmental maps.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, I'm John C. Dvorak.
Coming up, we've got grumpy old Ben's on noagendastream.com and end of show mixes from Jesse Coy Nelson, Nostradamus, Sir Jimmy James of the Flatlanders, Bob Hammers, and Fletcher with Carolyn.
Until Thursday, adios, mofos!
And such.
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.
You're crazy!
Why wouldn't you want to get tested?
In my entire life, I don't remember hearing about influenza tests.
Me neither.
As long as you can make people afraid enough.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
The president should speak from a morgue.
Programming.
The entire screenplay is being unfolded.
COVID has brought us many miracles, John.
North Bay.
And of course, the Congress.
If you don't believe in climate change, please come to the state of California and we will re-educate you.
Back to your regular scheduled programming, which is outrageous.
We will be educated.
To all the people of Wuhan, you know, you made a great sacrifice.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
*laughter* We're in a crazy situation, so there's going to be crazy rumors.
Without just focusing on one country, we need to make it for the entire world.
I noticed that in the US, there are some people who even may be攻擊 you, saying that this virus is not coming out in the world. saying that this virus is not coming out in the What do you think about this?
I hope...
I'd say it's ironic if you take somebody who's doing their best to get the world ready and very glad that it succeeded.
And so we're thankful that you made these sacrifices, work was stopped, your living was very different, and now the goal to get the world ready and where do we still need to restrict things and thank you for your sacrifices.
