	The homeless won't be able to buy anything.
	The homeless.
	Adam Curry.
	John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, September 6, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1275.
	This is No Agenda.
	This is No Agenda.
	I've now been with Hotep and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the Drone Star State.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I'm using the Alaskan loophole to podcast into Canada, I'm John C. Devorak.
	Okay, do tell.
	Can we make some money on this loophole?
	Can we play songs?
	Records?
	No, you can get fined up to $750,000 and thrown in jail for six months.
	And apparently some guy in Kentucky was in Alberta.
	Well, in Alberta.
	Fined $750,000.
	For doing what?
	Well, apparently, you know, they don't want Americans going into Canada for God, because, you know, we've got the most COVID cases in the world.
	We're Rona Central.
	In the world, Natalia, yeah.
	And they don't want to be infected by us, but by some international agreement, you can go into Canada if you're on your way to Alaska.
	I'm driving to Alaska.
	What are you doing here, sir?
	You have any guns?
	No, I'm driving to Alaska.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you can do that.
	And so off you go on your merry way to Alaska.
	What did he do wrong?
	People are cheating.
	They're not going to Alaska.
	They're vacationing in D.C., Alberta, and elsewhere.
	Oh, no.
	It's just wrong.
	You can't break the rules like that.
	I have a report.
	Oh, shoot.
	Hold on a second.
	I was not prepared for that.
	Nice.
	Loophole.
	Love it.
	But first, some breaking news.
	Tighter restrictions are coming to the Canada-US border, and it's all about cracking down on Americans who've been using the so-called Alaska loophole to get into the country.
	Starting tomorrow, Canada Border Services Agency is implementing new rules.
	Among them, Americans hoping to get to Alaska can no longer do so through the Peace Arch border.
	They can only cross into B.C. through three points of entry, Abbotsford-Huntington, Asuyas, or Kingsgate.
	They will be issued a hang tank to be attached to their rearview mirror that will stay there for the duration of the trip.
	They will also be barred from driving through national parks, leisure sites, and tourist locations.
	Anyone found breaking these rules risks a fine up to $750,000 and possible prison time.
	You got a hang tag.
	Nice.
	I think she says hang tang.
	Well, I think she meant hang tag.
	Maybe.
	I don't know.
	Do we know that for a fact?
	Is there any Canadians in the chat room that can tell us whether there's such a thing as a hang tang?
	Hang tang?
	I don't know.
	Hotep hang tang.
	There you go.
	It's your fault, by the way.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	Did you not invoke the name Hotep Jesus on the last show?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, and Uncle Hotep.
	Those are the two guys.
	Those are the go-to guys.
	You know what happened?
	No.
	Hotep Jesus DM'd me.
	He says, I want you on the show.
	How good is that?
	And, wait for it.
	I don't know if he does it live or how he does it, but he's also doing Jason Whitlock the same night.
	Oh, that would be dynamite.
	I don't think it's a roundtable.
	That would be even better.
	It's just a mishmash.
	It's funny.
	I'm the one who plugs the guy you get on the show.
	That's okay.
	Well, I can say that I don't feel well, and you can go in my stead.
	No, you're on a roll.
	You do the show.
	You're on a roll, although they're not producing these things.
	How come the Rogan show is not out?
	Monday.
	What is this accusation?
	I'm not producing things.
	Back to work.
	You are the worst, man.
	Get back on that treadmill.
	Okay, okay, okay.
	Well, Jason Whitlock is probably...
	I mean, that guy's...
	He's really outstanding with his complaining.
	Let's go.
	Ready?
	One, two, three, four, five, six...
	Seven, eight, no bonus.
	Ladies and gentlemen, that is the official Zephyr economic report.
	We have eight cars, no bonus, regular speed.
	Bitcoin currently $10,187.
	This is a buying opportunity.
	I'll say, that thing crashed like crazy.
	Oh my.
	Yeah, Jason Whitlock is really going after LeBron James.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I understand why.
	Because LeBron James is a dick?
	Yeah, I think that might have something to do with it.
	Yeah, LeBron James, I mean, oh well.
	It must be the Chinese influence.
	I don't see why else he would be doing this.
	Yeah, emphasize that when you go on this show.
	Those guys will eat that up.
	Hey, yeah.
	I'll just say, hey, I'm Hotep China.
	See what works.
	Hotep China.
	Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
	Oh, I had a lunch with a former New York banker who I haven't seen for a while.
	Ah, here we go, report.
	Yeah, I do have a report.
	Now, we were supposed to go wake surfing on Friday, which is our go-to hang since he has a boat.
	But we had an electrical storm, lightning.
	I didn't mind the rain so much, but it was just crazy.
	Oh, lightning in Texas is the best.
	Yes, not great.
	Second only to New Mexico.
	Yeah.
	So I didn't want to be out on the lake with that going on in the Obama boat.
	Here's what I learned.
	First of all, UT, Texas, it is underreported, but COVID spread is rampant.
	Rampant.
	Because the kids don't give a crap.
	They are not following the rules, and there's a lot of testing, mandatory testing that's going on.
	How many dead?
	Zero.
	No one's really sick.
	I said, is anyone sick?
	No, I don't think so.
	Okay, well, what's the problem then?
	The main thing we talked about, which was quite surprising to me that he said this, And we, of course, talked some politics, and he mentioned, and I want to say as a side note, that he really does like President Trump's China policy, you know, the tariffs, etc.
	He thinks that's a good thing.
	He also, strange for him to say it, really likes the immigration policy, thinks that's all good, but he was adamant.
	Why is that strange for him to say it?
	Because he's very, very, very liberal.
	No borders, no nations?
	Liberal?
	He would not say that in his own friend circle.
	Let's put it that way.
	So I don't know if he's changed his mind or if it's always been like that.
	I don't think we've ever discussed it, really.
	But that's not what really caught me.
	And I saw something I hadn't seen before.
	Part of it may be because he does not own guns, will never own a gun, feels no one should own a gun, which we just have a fundamental disagreement there.
	It's not a problem.
	He said, it's alright, I got guns, you got no guns, fine.
	You don't need a gun?
	Not when you have me as a friend.
	No, you don't.
	Oh, what, are you going to rush over his house?
	You know, you can come over here.
	I'm not going to rush over to his house because that's what he's afraid of.
	He believes in, I think, really in his heart and soul.
	And I don't know if, you know, this is an international, you know, banker of reputation who, you know, probably sunk countries.
	Hello, Greece.
	So I don't know if he knows fear, but I saw something a little new, or maybe I heard it in his voice.
	He says Trump cannot win.
	Trump cannot win.
	I said, well, I'll bet you that he does.
	I think the way I see it, and I pick the hits, I think he'll win the Electoral College, and he'll also win the popular vote.
	So we have a $2 bet.
	But he says he can't win.
	I said, why?
	Because of the riots.
	What are you talking about?
	Liberal cities will burn to the ground, he said.
	And he kept saying it.
	It's going to happen.
	I said, well, how do you know?
	Well, because that's what's going to happen.
	The liberal cities will burn to the ground if Trump wins.
	Well, is that a bad thing?
	You sound like the keeper.
	She's like, and?
	Well, that's a problem.
	Yeah, I don't want any city to burn.
	I don't want any kind of violence.
	Portland's already burning to the ground.
	I mean, I don't know.
	They even took down the moose.
	The thing that is starting to get weird is, you know, these suburbs...
	Ah, where was the most recent one?
	And all of a sudden, a Black Lives Matter protest just comes down the street en masse, and anyone dining outside is accosted and yelled at.
	There goes your vote.
	That's a great strategy, Democrats.
	It's real.
	I don't know who says they have control of it.
	I don't know.
	But, jeez.
	That's what Biden implied when he's in one of his speeches.
	Oh, it's, yeah.
	And that thing, that scares people.
	It's like, now, I don't think that will happen in Austin because the lesson was learned in a very sad way.
	You can actually get shot and killed if you're doing a little more than just a peaceful protest.
	If, for instance, you're walking around with a gun.
	Whether it's permitted or not, you raise that towards the wrong person and you can get shot and killed.
	So I'm hoping that that message was clear.
	We haven't really had any kind of rioting or anything.
	Certainly not since then.
	Did you make it clear to the banker that this is really a minority of people?
	Troublemakers?
	Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
	He's very worried about it.
	So he wants to get a gun now?
	No.
	And that little, he's in a walled off neighborhood in Austin as rich people live there.
	They're a bunch of Karens and there's a gate you got to go through to get into the place.
	Is that right?
	His place, yes, but the general area where he lives is not gated, but it is pretty much what you describe.
	Yeah, I know those places.
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's no Black Lives Matter people going in there moaning and groaning.
	No, but that's exactly what is happening.
	We're seeing these Black Lives Matter protests going into suburban areas and moaning and groaning.
	That's what those two had the guns.
	And we're pointing them out at the peaceful protesters.
	This is happening everywhere.
	St.
	Louis, I think, is where this is.
	It's not happening everywhere by any means.
	Okay, it is happening in selected theaters near you.
	And when I say theaters, I mean theaters of war, which is some suburbs.
	Yes, that's happening.
	There's not a suburb around here where it's happening.
	Well, they won't crap in their own actual bed.
	You live in the middle of Antifa Central.
	Berkeley.
	I'm in the vicinity.
	And there's been some...
	I mean, you might make the claim that because they went to Libby Schaaf, the liberal mayor of Oakland, and they went to her house and they protested around there, that sort of thing.
	This is like...
	I mean, they're...
	Which I think is shatting, as you like to use that term, in your own bed, because she runs the town, and she's a liberal, and she's a Democrat, and why are they in front of her place bitching and moaning?
	Alright, well.
	I just...
	I know you don't see it.
	I understand.
	You also didn't see what I said when the lockdowns began.
	I said technology companies are going to keep their workers home.
	They don't want them to come back.
	You actually scoffed at me about that.
	I don't think so.
	I knew it!
	I knew I should have pulled a clip.
	Gosh darn it.
	Oh well.
	I said crapping, not chatting.
	You used the word shat.
	No, I said crap.
	I said shh, and then I said crap.
	I didn't use shat.
	But okay.
	Well, people, you're in the chat room.
	Get me the clip.
	It doesn't matter.
	It's a show title now.
	It's all good with me.
	Shat?
	It's the show title?
	Shatting.
	It's a shat-in, everybody.
	All right.
	I do have a couple of things COVID-related that I believe we should discuss.
	By the way, we got nothing from that report.
	I was hoping for some financial tips or something we could invest in.
	Oh, well, yes.
	Okay, I'm sorry.
	I did ask him.
	I didn't want to bring it up because I thought you would only find it annoying.
	I asked him about...
	Yeah, seriously.
	I'm not kidding.
	I thought you would find it annoying.
	Okay.
	Because it's about...
	You were not interested in hearing it the last show, which is about the Fed now.
	Oh, okay.
	You're right.
	You're right.
	You're dead on.
	You nailed it.
	You're not interested.
	I would find it annoying.
	Okay.
	The one thing he did is he pulled it apart really well.
	He said, whoever is flaunting this idea is bonkers because the whole principle of being able to do this is based on modern monetary theory to just have money you can create and put anywhere you want.
	But then when everyone says, and it'll be pegged to the gold standard, he says that's where the whole thing falls apart.
	That makes no sense.
	Yeah, I agree.
	Yeah, and I have to agree with that.
	I also did get a note from, just to finalize the topic, I got a note from a FedNow insider.
	And you're really seeing more and more that the dudes named Ben and Dudette's named Bernadette, they truly hold a lot of keys to our society.
	And they are extremely undervalued.
	I get notes from dudes named Ben at security companies.
	You know, that tells you enough about the security company.
	By the way, I think it's important because they're really on the front line.
	But this is important as this anonymous...
	They're taken for granted.
	Yeah, big time.
	You got a security company, you got a CEO, you got a bunch of dudes named Ben, one or two probably superstars that know what they're doing.
	And they are taken for granted and the CEO thinks he knows everything.
	He doesn't know anything.
	Never.
	They never do.
	Podfather, keep me anonymous.
	I am boots on the ground doing the work and an executive working in the payment and banking industry for over 15 years and have responsibilities for overseeing the payments programs of over 400 community banks performing wire, ACH, check, cash, and card payments.
	I privately consult with the Federal Reserve and am publicly serving, I won't say where he's, but he's on some working groups, developing standards for the deployment of FedNow.
	Like any industry, the media doesn't understand and reporting about payments is shat.
	He's using my words now.
	FedNow is not live and won't be until 2023.
	As a part of the FedNow, the Fed will be standing up what is called a universal directory or a federated directory.
	A universal directory would give an awareness of every account in the banking system of the United States and a much easier disbursement mechanism for government benefits and bailouts.
	A federated directory would leverage the banking system infrastructure through delegated standards and APIs.
	And without reading all of the rest of it, which I did put into the show notes, anonymized, they don't have their shit together.
	And they don't.
	Surprise, surprise!
	I'm stunned by this new knowledge.
	But he does say...
	If you want to talk where payments is heading, you are right.
	Cash is the enemy and your identity will be your access mechanism for banking payments.
	Biometrics and when possible finger device printing will be used to authenticate you and allow you to perform transactions.
	We are more than 20 plus years out from that being mainstream.
	We still have checks and the industry has been trying to kill those for over 20 years.
	So I like this counterbalance from him.
	I like it.
	I like it a lot.
	Well, 20 years is a long time, and there's also still the element of, which is what happened in Berkeley, and a couple of places had gone all cash.
	Yeah.
	Which is technically illegal, but you can get away with it in a small area, and they go all cash, but then come the objections.
	The homeless won't be able to buy anything.
	The homeless, the homeless, the homeless.
	And the homeless problem is not going anywhere, going away anytime soon.
	And the homeless, they don't have these...
	These mechanisms, they can't use them.
	They need cash.
	They ask for money on the street.
	You give them some money, they go buy something.
	The homelessness problem is the real monkey wrench in the works.
	It really screws things up for these guys and their idealistic I think it's just a sick idea that everybody is now a number.
	I will disagree in the vision of that.
	Looking at the way homelessness programs are run, I believe the homelessness government programs, certainly at a state level, would be incredibly happy to have a complete...
	That's why many homeless have phones, Obama phone.
	You can still get a phone.
	I think they would be very, very happy to have complete tracking over their homeless clients...
	Oh, they love it.
	And they will fill up their little smartphone, and they can always say, you know, we want to fill up your phone, a homeless client.
	You've got to come in.
	We've got to talk to you.
	You've got a vaccine to test or something.
	And then we'll fill up your digital wallet.
	Yeah, we'll see.
	Your homeless wallet.
	I know these people.
	You have a grim view.
	Yeah, I do.
	Of that, I have a very grim view.
	And...
	Regardless of any type of FedNow system, we do have wire systems.
	We have the Zelle system, which I believe we even accept some payments for.
	No, we do not.
	Good.
	Because have you seen the terms of service?
	I don't use Zelle, so no.
	Well, Zelle just showed up on my bank a long time ago.
	But one of our producers who had to opt in to use the service with this bank...
	He said, well, you know, I put my no agenda hat on and I figured I'd just go look at the terms of service.
	There are prohibited payments.
	The following types of payments are prohibited through the External Transfer Service.
	That's Zell.
	And we have the right, but not the obligation, to monitor for Block, cancel, and or reverse such payments.
	This is exactly what we're talking about, monitoring your payments.
	payments to or from persons or entities located in prohibited territories of course are not allowed but also payments that violate any law statute ordinance regulation and payments that violate the restrictions on use of terms below payments related to i'll just go through them tobacco products prescription drugs and services
	narcotics steroids controlled substances other products that present a risk to consumer safety drug paraphernalia ammunition firearms firearm parts or related accessories weapons weapons or knives regulated under applicable law goods or services that encourage promote facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal Hello, webcam girls!
	Goods or services that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance, or the financial exploitation of a crime.
	Goods or services that defame, abuse, harass, or threaten others.
	Goods or services...
	You get the idea.
	We get the picture, but guns?
	You can't buy guns?
	The Second Amendment allows you to buy guns.
	Not through their service.
	But these guys say no?
	This is a no-fund payment system is what this is.
	No drink, no drugs, no guns, no hookers, no gambling.
	What can you buy?
	A shirt?
	Well, you can buy legal...
	I think you might be able to buy state lottery tickets.
	A shirt.
	Oh, boy.
	Yeah.
	And it will all be monitored.
	Our bank has not allowed Zelle for some time.
	Somehow a Zelle payment did get through about three or four months ago, and no one can tell me how or why.
	There was also a new...
	PopMoney is the main one that we can get that everyone can get access to, and it seems to be less restrictive.
	The other one is a guy came in.
	He's in today's list of donors.
	He got money through using a thing called X-Check.
	X-Check?
	Something like that.
	He has a whole new system.
	I'm talking to the bank about it.
	How did this happen?
	It just came in?
	X-Check just worked?
	Yeah, it just worked.
	Maybe it's from the X-Men.
	It's got a Q at the end, too, is the main thing.
	We are still locked down in Austin, Texas.
	Even though we moved up due to good behavior to Stage 3, the stay-at-home orders will remain in place through December 8th.
	December 8th?
	December.
	Excuse me?
	What did you say?
	I think I said December 8th, three days after Sinterklaas.
	Well, what's the date today?
	Today is September 6th.
	October 9th.
	Are you telling me that...
	What?
	Yep.
	Oh, they'll lift it.
	They'll lift it.
	I'll bet money that they'll lift it way before December 6th.
	I wouldn't take that bet.
	I think that's very possible.
	I would take it right after the election.
	The day after the election, it's lifted.
	See, I will not take that bet, because I think you're right.
	And, moreover, the keeper took me out for a birthday celebration Friday night, and she took me to Pesce, Which I'd never been to in Austin.
	P-E-C-H-E apparently means sin in French.
	This place was hopping.
	It was filled to the brim.
	It's a very long restaurant, rectangular length is where they get it from.
	So they had, I guess they pretended like they used to have middle tables there or something, and so it was a little bit broader between the bar.
	The bar must have been 50 people sitting on it, not a single one socially distanced.
	It was so enjoyable to be back in a busy restaurant.
	It really was nice.
	Social animals.
	Yeah, everybody needs that.
	Yeah, here's what's going to happen.
	You're a local TV nerd.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Probably.
	This happened in San Jose at a bunch of these places.
	Gosh.
	And...
	So the local TV nerd, the Karen that works at the local station, whatever, you got three of them there, major stations, a couple of minor ones.
	The Karen will go in there, and then she's going to see this, and she's going to be reporting on it, and the owner's going to come running.
	I'm telling you how the report goes.
	I've seen these reports more than once.
	Oh, what's wrong?
	What's wrong?
	Oh, you're not social distancing, says the care in the reporter.
	Oh, we are.
	And then the guy goes in there and starts moving people around.
	It's a hilarious report when you see it.
	Oh, gosh.
	And then the cops are asked about it, and oh, we didn't know.
	It's a standard package.
	And that's the end of it.
	You don't have that anymore.
	That place is done.
	I sure hope not.
	Well, it will be done after Rogan goes there.
	I told you, you got to go there, man.
	It's great.
	I'm sure after he goes, it'll turn out to be a bad place.
	Not socially distanced.
	So we still have a lot of issues with numbers and data.
	testing in particular.
	And in Memphis, this story cropped up over the weekend, which kind of says it all.
	And even though I felt this report was reasonably well covered, they kind of just take whatever the health department locally says for, you know, for what it is and say, oh, that's what they said.
	This is the dead woman who got a positive COVID test.
	Troy Whittington was sure surprised when he opened up a letter this week that came from the Shelby County Health Department.
	I'm just having a hard time understanding how they can say someone has COVID-19 when they're not even alive.
	Troy Whittington is baffled.
	This letter arrived from the Shelby County Health Department for his mother, Sandra Whittington.
	The letter says she's been diagnosed as COVID positive and needs to isolate.
	But according to her obituary, the 66-year-old died February 16th.
	That was weeks before the first case of COVID-19 was even detected in Shelby County.
	It's been six months, almost seven since she passed away.
	There was no testing that was done at that time on her death certificate.
	It was stated what the cause of death was, and it was not COVID-19.
	It was COPD. Whittington says when he called the health department, he was told she took a COVID-19 test June 20th, which was clearly impossible.
	I tried to call the health department this morning, ask them why this is going on.
	She said she would have to get a supervisor.
	She was sorry for the mistake or that she couldn't tell me any information until she got a supervisor and I haven't heard back from them.
	Whittington says this situation makes him question not only the Shelby County Health Department's COVID-19 statistics, but statistics across the country.
	I would just like for the health department to be more accurate.
	Whittington would also like to point out if his mom had been alive and tested positive in June, why did it take so long for the notification to go out?
	We're talking two months later, she needs to be quarantined for 10 days.
	Well, we've already got 60 days from the time of the test to get the letter out to her, which is unacceptable.
	A spokesperson for the Shelby County Health Department says around 5 o'clock this evening, the department director called the Whittington family to apologize.
	We're told protocols have been put in place so something like this won't happen again.
	Ah, the protocols are in place.
	Never happen again.
	Protocols.
	That is super disturbing.
	The thing I don't like about the report is after he says, well, he had COPD, even the last...
	Little waveform of the D was edited in that report.
	So I'm thinking he said something else that might have been, you know, maybe it was, I mean, COPD, if it's even written weird in handwriting, it may look like COVID. Yeah, I don't know.
	I didn't like that they chopped that off.
	It could have been just crappy local editing.
	Nothing bad, nothing particular about local editing.
	Anyway, that just bothered me.
	Then we have a real study from UCLA's Stanford.
	UCLA? Stanford?
	Is that right?
	UCLA-Stanford?
	Yeah, I think it is.
	No.
	No?
	Let's see.
	UCLA's University of California's Los Angeles.
	What would they be doing with anything with Stanford?
	I might have mislabeled.
	Let's listen.
	A new study from medical scientists at UCLA and Stanford University.
	Oh, and Stanford.
	UCLA and Stanford University.
	...finds the likelihood of contracting the coronavirus is much, much lower than previously thought.
	The study, published in late June, says the current probability of becoming infected, going to the hospital, or even death from COVID-19 is, quote, an extremely rare event.
	The study goes on to say that people are vastly overestimating their chances of getting sick and going to the hospital, especially here in the U.S.
	As part of the study, doctors reviewed public cases of infection in 100 of the largest counties across the nation.
	They found that an average person in an average county has a 1 in 3,836 chance of getting infected with coronavirus, and that's without wearing a mask or doing any social distancing.
	Even the odds of being hospitalized are vanishingly small, even for someone who's in the at-risk category.
	For an average person between 50 and 64 years old The chances of getting the virus and needing hospitalization are 1 in 852,000.
	And for that same person who's at risk, the chances of dying from coronavirus are 1 in 19.1 million.
	And those figures were for the last week of May, when deaths from coronavirus were 16 times higher than they were last week.
	What a kicker!
	What a kicker!
	Come on!
	That's CDC! Or are they not to be trusted now?
	Now CDC is not to be trusted, I guess, because they come out with something like that.
	Well, this is where I ran one of their charts the other couple of newsletters ago, which shows the big lump and then a little lump and then nothing, which is where we are now.
	But we can't do that.
	So we use cumulative numbers.
	That's why we have six million people that have it.
	Supposedly never got rid of it.
	I guess you don't get rid of it.
	And now, of course, we have these reports where it's going getting worse.
	You know, now now India has gotten into the four million club.
	Let's play this COVID four million in India.
	OK, health officials are reminding Americans to remain vigilant about the spread of COVID-19 on this long holiday weekend.
	There are now more than 6.2 million confirmed infections in the U.S. and more than 188,000 deaths.
	Globally, the death toll from COVID-19 has reached 875,000 with more than 26.6 million confirmed infections, according to researchers at Johns Hopkins University.
	In India, confirmed infections topped 4 million today, and the country reported a new record in daily cases.
	India now joins just Brazil and the U.S. in crossing the 4 million mark.
	The jump to 4 million comes just 13 days after India reached 3 million cases.
	Oh my goodness.
	By the way, he says he uses the term, this guy's a substitute weekend guy.
	He uses the term long holiday weekend.
	So are there short holiday weekends?
	There's a long holiday weekend.
	What's a long holiday weekend as opposed to a holiday weekend?
	I think it would have said the long weekend.
	Yes.
	That's what he said, long holiday weekend.
	I heard it the first time, I heard it this time.
	May I make a suggestion?
	I don't know where the guy's from.
	That is a very European way of saying it.
	Oh!
	Yeah, long face weekend.
	Or, uh, we say, uh...
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that explains it, then.
	Yeah, a long fancy weekend.
	Yeah, I think it's maybe a European thing.
	Where's he from?
	Russia?
	PBS Russia?
	You guys from PBS. He's China.
	Come on.
	Get a clue.
	I'm sorry.
	I got it all wrong again.
	Darn it.
	It's always China, China, China.
	I got a couple other COVID clips I'd like to get out of the way.
	Well, let's play the...
	What the hell?
	What?
	Oh, no.
	Okay.
	What?
	I'm sorry.
	I'm reading...
	Because I always...
	I got all these C-SPAN clips.
	Yeah, I know.
	COVID, Spain.
	The fresh air in Spain.
	Here's a clip that kind of follows up on your UCLA clip.
	We've just been led astray the whole time.
	Now, as COVID infections are on the rise in Europe and Spain is believed to be the worst hit in Madrid and Barcelona, infection rates have soared since lockdown was lifted right before the summer.
	We're seeking better treatments.
	One hospital in the Catalan capital has been finding out if short trips to the beach can help COVID-19 patients.
	Francisco Espana has spent two months in the ICU. His medical team is now trying out a new treatment.
	The kind that most patients dream of.
	The sunlight and fresh sea breeze actually work.
	They help patients.
	In Madrid, there can be no visits to the beach, obviously.
	Here, concern is even worse than in Barcelona.
	One-third of all infections have been diagnosed in the capital.
	A set of restrictions will be brought back in on Monday.
	Major cities are hit hard among suspected reasons for this.
	People returning to work, sometimes without applying social distancing.
	Spaniards fear the return to school next week may push the epidemic further with everyone dreading mass infections and a new lockdown.
	Okay, now you have to visualize this report.
	They pushed this guy out of the hospital in the bed with these, you know, with the hanging bags of saline and the rest.
	With masks on his face and three or four nurses.
	And they got this guy on the boardwalk.
	He looks like he should be in the ward.
	It's very funny, the image.
	But he liked it.
	He enjoyed the ride.
	He enjoyed the ride.
	There's a fresh air.
	I mean, come on, people.
	Fresh air.
	I'm Terry Gross.
	This is a very disturbing, well, I wouldn't say disturbing.
	It's puzzling and no one really has answers.
	The World Bank, they publish a lot of things.
	So at the World Bank, you've just got to say it's part of the elitist, globalist infrastructure.
	I mean, that's pretty clear.
	I don't think that's even an issue.
	Yes.
	So someone found a page on their website, an archive page from 2018.
	It's the worldbank.org website.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	And it is a list of COVID-19 diagnostic test instruments and apparatus imports by country in the year 2018.
	Do we know for an absolute fact that this page was put up in 2018?
	No.
	I do not believe I can prove that.
	What it does say is that the classification reference based on COVID-19 medical supplies list, second edition, is prepared by World Customs Organization and the World Health Organization.
	But they actually also have...
	I found they go back to 2017.
	And let me see.
	The United States in 2018 imported...
	One million...
	Oh, yeah.
	This is interesting.
	Oh, the value.
	What is the number?
	Hold on.
	Well, the trade value was $1,620,675.95.
	It doesn't have a quantity.
	Interesting.
	China is the top.
	They had 135 million of these diagnostic test instruments and apparatus.
	And I don't know.
	I mean, the first thing that crossed my mind was...
	Well, maybe there was a COVID-18.
	We've never really talked about it.
	Maybe they do it every year.
	If it's this year, here's your COVID-18, COVID-19.
	I don't know how this happens.
	And here's the other thing that bothers me about it.
	I saw this link posted on social media.
	Someone else sent it to me.
	And it has the same subject line or query with the link.
	Riddle me this.
	Riddle me this.
	Or can anyone explain this?
	You know, when you find something, it feels like that was planted to me.
	Yeah, no, when you hear, see, that sort of thing, it's usually planted.
	Yeah, it's bothersome.
	Bothersome.
	Yeah, it may be, the whole thing may be a scam.
	But I'd like to know, this is, I just want to, and I'm...
	I know we have producers who understand this stuff.
	And there's one.
	Maybe this will help.
	Additional product information.
	Instruments used in clinical laboratories for in vitro diagnosis.
	Columetric and tidal CO2 detector.
	Size is compatible with child and adult endotracheal tube.
	Single use.
	Someone out there knows what the heck I just said.
	Well, we don't.
	Anyway, that's just another one of those things that's floating around.
	You've got to pay attention to it.
	We don't even need to deal with this sort of screwball speculation when we have this study from UCLA. And we have a lot of real information that just gets out there and then pushed aside.
	There it is, another study that proves it.
	Like, for example, hydroxychloroquine.
	Nope.
	Over to the side.
	Okay.
	No good.
	Just over to the side, over to the side.
	And so it's like, it's astonishing to me the way this has been done.
	Well, we're getting sloppy.
	Everyone's getting sloppy because they're tired and worn down.
	You know, this is the way it's intended if it was planned.
	Well, eventually it'll all come out.
	It'll be books written about, as I've said before.
	Yeah.
	There will be books written about how this was just a giant fiasco.
	It'll come out when we pay for those with our digital FedNow wallet.
	That's when the books will come out.
	FedNow wallet.
	There's another study, extremely disturbing, so disturbing, Grand Green Raldon Raff from The Intercept went ahead and did a video about it.
	Data points from a very recent study published by the Center for Disease Control in August, in mid-August, that surveyed thousands of Americans at the end of June and asked them a variety of questions designed to gauge trends and developments in physical that surveyed thousands of Americans at the end of June and asked them And probably the most striking of the statistics was the one that was produced by the following question.
	Quote, have you seriously considered suicide in the past 30 days?
	A question that was asked.
	among people around the United States from June 24th to June 30th of 2020.
	Of people 18 to 24, people in the 18 to 24 age range, 25.5%, or essentially one out of every four Americans in that age group, said that yes, they have seriously considered, not fleetingly they have seriously considered, not fleetingly or as a fantasy, but seriously considered suicide, not in the past year, but in the past 30 days.
	That's disturbing.
	Wow, 25%.
	Another CDC study.
	CDC. I talked to Christina about this.
	And she said, well, she doesn't have suicidal thoughts, but she says what we are going through as young people.
	Now, it's a little different.
	She's still living in Rotterdam.
	Yes, in Rotterdam, where she is, I think, technically very locked down or reasonably locked down because of, you know, Rotterdam is some hot spot.
	Don't go to Rotterdam, whatever you do.
	She's 30, so she's a little older than perhaps some of these potential or these suicide-minded children.
	Children to me.
	Children.
	She says, well, Dad, there is one thing we talk about a lot, and it is definitely millennials, the older millennials.
	She says, we're going through a grieving process.
	We all recognize life as we knew it is dead, and we're grieving over that life.
	And some of them are doing it together, but they're discussing it, and they are realizing that that life is over.
	And she says it really feels like grieving, and we're all going to get over it, but maybe not.
	You know, that shit's never considered!
	What do we know?
	You and I, we are old dudes.
	We don't know anything about how the kids feel.
	But mourning?
	Well, that's why we have these kids to ask.
	I know, I know, I know.
	But they should have asked before they locked them down!
	No one's asking nobody.
	So the chat show continues in Australia.
	Oh my goodness.
	Yes, I have a clip on this.
	From France 24, which is a nice long clip.
	Yeah, before we play it.
	Ooh, this is interesting.
	What?
	Well, the coastal just went by going the other direction, which is unusual at this hour.
	I thought you found, like, some news item, like, oh my goodness, breaking news.
	Oh, I see the intercoastal going along there.
	I'm sorry.
	That's okay.
	Go on with your spiel.
	My spiel?
	Really?
	My spiel?
	My spiel.
	First, a quick email from Boots on the Ground producer Mitch in Melbourne.
	Melbourne has effed two more weeks of stage four lockdown and only coming out of it if we have five or less infections a day.
	People are starting...
	This is ludicrous.
	They got numbers that are so low.
	This is like a test of the public's will.
	Hello?
	They're going through the exact same script?
	The exact same script?
	Except for the fact that their numbers are ridiculously low.
	Well, they don't fake them as good as we did, clearly.
	We had an organized protest this week on Sunday.
	Our premier, Daniel Andrews, Dirty Dan, conveniently scheduled his roadmap out of the COVID the day after the protest, so me and a few other people made sure the protest was canceled so there was no ammo for old Dan.
	Very smart.
	He made a dick out of himself today when he extended it for at least another two weeks when he didn't have the excuse of the protesters.
	We would have had 10,000 show up, but only 200 ended up rocking up.
	I'm getting a little pissed off with people saying Victorians are a bunch of pussies for not protesting.
	We are strategic.
	We see the game being played.
	We won't be played.
	Mitch, I feel what you're going through, and there have been multiple producers who have said, this is triggering my PTSD, previous experiences they've had, and yes, yes, you are now going through what we've gone through, and you're going to be okay.
	I mean, in general, you're going to be okay, but you just have to give in to it and wait for your opportunity, and it's all going to come down to the numbers.
	Actually, I have a report, and then we'll go to your Victoria report.
	This is Andrew's announcement of the continued lockdown.
	But we begin tonight with the latest news on Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' exit strategy.
	The Premier has announced stage four lockdown will be extended by a fortnight from the 28th of September.
	If and only if cases in metropolitan Melbourne have dropped to between 30 to 50 a day, some workplaces will reopen along with childcare.
	From the 26th of October...
	If there are less than five new cases a day, and that's not a situation even New South Wales is in on many days, the country will no longer apply and there will be no restrictions on reasons to leave the house.
	Only then would public gatherings be increased to 10 for people outdoors and only then would hospitality recommence.
	And then it's only from the 23rd of November when all retail will be open and visitors at home can be up to 20 people.
	Caller, can you turn down your radio?
	Thank you.
	Yeah, even Sydney.
	Sydney has days with more than five positives, five cases.
	Now, you guys are getting a shafting here.
	We give a thousand a day.
	A thousand dead a day?
	No.
	Yes.
	Well, yes.
	What's the 300 million people?
	You're going to get a thousand dead a day anyway.
	What's the normal death rate on a daily basis?
	Don't take away that we're number one.
	No, I'm not going to be number one.
	It's some crazy number like 8,000 a day.
	That's what normal is.
	And we're now at 1,000.
	I'm telling you, it's the total, total, total number.
	So this is COVID only.
	But I think we're maybe at 6,000 or 7,000 total number.
	It's less than normal.
	Bad statistics.
	Alright, here's your...
	Is this France 24, this report?
	Yeah, France 24.
	...tests against coronavirus restrictions have been springing up around the world with varying groups such as anti-vaxxers and even the far right taking part.
	One of the latest such rallies has taken place in Melbourne, Australia this weekend.
	The state of Victoria is the worst affected in the country and has enacted strict measures to try to curb a second wave of infections.
	Solange Mojan has more.
	Chanting the words, freedom.
	These protesters in Melbourne, Australia, think that wearing a mask is an infringement on their individual rights.
	In anger, regardless of a collective good that masks may provide, in combating the coronavirus, hundreds of protesters came out to say that they had it.
	Stop the clip for a second.
	You can back it up.
	Tell me this woman doesn't sound like the character on The Family Guy who's the Takenawa, the Asian reporter.
	Got that monotone style.
	Yeah, it's very...
	She sounds just like her.
	It's very exciting reporting.
	Australia think that wearing a mask is an infringement on their individual rights.
	In anger, regardless of a collective good that masks may provide in combating the coronavirus, hundreds of protesters came out to say that they'd had it.
	With nearly five weeks of strict lockdown measures, nightly curfews, and mask requirements...
	Some protested peacefully, eager to be able to leave their homes again or travel outside the state of Victoria.
	Others, irate, slew insults at the police as the officers arrested protesters.
	Such rallies are thought to have been organized by a mishmash of online groups, many of them peddling conspiracy theories.
	For the Premier of the State of Victoria, the lockdown measures have helped bring a massive coronavirus spike under better control.
	But he said the state and the nation are not out of the woods yet.
	Absolutely.
	No one is really advocating to open and be open for just a few weeks.
	And if you opened at these levels, that is exactly what would happen.
	It would be five minutes of sunshine and then a third wave that arguably will be even more devastating than the second wave.
	With case numbers dropping but still worrisome, Australian officials are expected to announce Sunday an incremental roadmap for lifting lockdowns in Victoria.
	Yet protesting Melbourne residents may still have to wait many weeks or months for freedom as they knew it to return.
	Let's try and give some useful advice to our brothers and sisters in Victoria, specifically in Melbourne.
	This happened.
	We have states.
	It's not quite the same, but you have a premier.
	We have a governor.
	New York was one of the...
	It's kind of similar, I guess.
	The New York lockdown, the degree that it went to, the harshness of it all, the fines.
	Now, we didn't have the cops being violent with people, but it was pretty obvious.
	What happened in New York is people just left.
	And we also had the state border shut down for a little bit.
	They tried that.
	That didn't really work.
	That's impossible.
	Yeah.
	But what ultimately did happen is New York is just now on the precipice of wilting to death.
	Everybody left.
	That luxury is not the same, I don't think, for people.
	It's not the same type of business city, Melbourne.
	But I don't think that the city itself...
	Well, you couldn't go from...
	I mean, New York...
	I mean, here we've got a lot of options.
	From New York, you could go to Connecticut.
	You could go to the little states.
	And most of them went to Florida.
	Yeah, Long Island and Florida.
	And New Jersey.
	Melbourne, where are you going to go?
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, you can go lots of places, but you can't actually leave, or you can leave the city.
	You're not allowed to.
	You can't go with more than one person.
	You can't be found more than five kilometers from your home.
	They will tackle you, roust you, throw a bag over your head.
	Yeah, and club you.
	Like a baby seal.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, see, that's the Australian way.
	The pregnant woman who was arrested at home for posting, inciting a protest on the face bag.
	Very odd story as it turns out.
	Several Australian producers, and I think this was somewhat viral as well, noticed that this police officer who came in, handcuffed her, arrested her, informed her she was breaking the law, He has been seen in at least one other video report of arresting someone who's not being compliant.
	The problem people have is his police badge is the wrong color.
	It's yellow.
	It should be orange.
	I know nothing about that.
	They find it suspicious.
	Could be what happened after this pregnant lady was arrested.
	And the viral video perhaps makes it even more interesting as she was interviewed for all the news stations.
	So, the police did end up being, like, quite nice, which wasn't on camera.
	They did end up taking the handcuffs off, let me get dressed.
	They were quite nice down at the police station.
	Like I said, they just kind of had to do their job at the moment and stuff.
	You know, they said they weren't really happy about having to arrest me or anything, but...
	Alright, I'm going to stop it there.
	So they were very clear with the hands behind the back, you're going right now, on camera, which of course shut off at some point.
	And now she's saying, well, actually they did let me get dressed, which meant they uncuffed her.
	And they said, well, we're just doing our job, mate.
	Hmm.
	Then was that all just posing for the camera because it was being filmed?
	Or were they worried that you were very violent with your pregnant belly and your pajamas?
	Or was the whole thing a hoax and she never went into any police stations?
	Let's continue listening.
	That's what's happening at the moment in our state, so...
	So what was your reason for putting up the post and wanting to do the silent protest?
	Why did you do that?
	Well, for one, I actually, sorry about my bimbo moment.
	I didn't realize that I wasn't allowed to.
	So, interesting.
	And any woman who said that in America would be vilified if you said, sorry about my bimbo moment, but I didn't know you actually, I'm sorry, I didn't know you could actually do that.
	Which I'm sure she didn't know, but it was just, okay.
	So you learned, didn't you?
	Could be a teaching moment here that they're sending us.
	And I did kind of want to protest in Melbourne.
	No, sorry.
	I may have misunderstood it.
	Might have said blonde moment, but I heard bimbo.
	Anyway.
	I did kind of want to protest in Melbourne, but obviously I knew I wasn't allowed to do that.
	So I just wanted to feel like I was doing something, you know, standing up for human rights.
	And, you know, I'm just a passionate person and I'm sick of the lockdowns.
	I'm sick of hearing about suicides.
	I personally lost my job, you know, and just...
	I'm sick of watching the economy collapse.
	It's getting to the point where, you know, I wanted to peaceful protest and I don't want Anyone going to jail or anyone getting hurt or, you know, anything like that.
	So, you know, I'm not going to sit here and encourage protesting.
	It's sad, though.
	I wish I could.
	But, you know, I don't want to encourage it and then watch people be hurt, you know, if they do go and protest, if there's forceful arrests and stuff like that.
	If you thought that wasn't enough messaging, there's a kicker.
	I don't even know.
	I'm...
	It's just so emotional, like, I'm just baffled.
	Would you still go and protest if you could?
	No, I'm too scared now.
	And it's fear-mongering.
	That's how I feel.
	What?
	I didn't understand what she said.
	They said...
	Okay, it's important what she said at the end, because I think that kind of shows that it may be hoaxy.
	Listen to the press.
	I don't even know.
	I'm...
	It's just so emotional.
	Like, I'm just baffled.
	Would you still go and protest?
	Do you think it's wrong to go protesting?
	Should you go protesting?
	Should people go protesting?
	No, I'm too scared now.
	And it's fear-mongering.
	That's how I feel.
	I'm too scared now.
	It's fear-mongering.
	Was that the truth that just came out at the very end because they've told her to say this?
	I don't know.
	The whole thing is sketchy.
	Well, thanks for your in-depth analysis.
	I have no analysis.
	I mean, I think the woman, this whole thing was, you know, they like to play act there.
	Maybe the whole thing was staged.
	Yeah, that's what I'm thinking now.
	But I'll say, there's something else that came up, because, you know, you start watching, this is going on for too long.
	I mean, don't forget, I was supposed to be over on Easter.
	Yeah.
	I sure thought so.
	I would like...
	Mm-hmm.
	It's a woman, the Takenawa woman, the woman that's monotone.
	She says there's all these conspiracy theories.
	I'd like to start listening to the conspiracy theories at this point.
	Ah, well, I'm glad you asked for that.
	Australia has a satirical show, which is called Mad as Hell.
	It's on ABC, the Aussie BC, ABC. And they make fun of politicians and politics, and, you know, it's a grand tradition in the United Kingdom.
	A lot of European countries have these really good...
	Remember Spitting Image?
	Spitting Image was great.
	Yeah, well, Canada also had this hour, it has 20 minutes or whatever, and that was one of these very harsh, harsh political analysis comedy shows.
	Right.
	Right.
	So Mad as Hell did, in the most recent episode, they had a sketch, I think it's for a hardware store, and here it is.
	We get a lot of nutcases coming in here and ranting at our staff about all sorts of wacko conspiracy theories, which I admit a lot of it goes beyond my training as a colour matcher at the paint counter, but we are here to help.

	Anti-vax Power 7 Pet Barrel Reverse Vacuum Cleaner, $5 for $1,000.
	False Flags, $8.51.
	And if you find a better price, it's probably a hoax, but as you people keep saying, do your own research.
	Morning's Fairhouse.
	Chemtrails in a crop circle.
	That's a great line.
	Yeah.
	So, I guess it's, hey, shut up.
	Shut up with any ideas you got.
	You're an idiot.
	Go to the hardware store, you morons.
	Sheesh, sheesh, sheesh, sheesh.
	You know, actually...
	I don't know what to say.
	Is it possible that the premier of Victoria, that he...
	Premier is the word you want to use.
	Premier?
	Yeah.
	Okay, thank you.
	It's the pronunciation of the word I want to use.
	Premier.
	Do you think that he is maybe the equivalent of Andrew Cuomo?
	Oh, that's a great...
	I'm going to give you two points for that.
	If you wait for it, you might give me a clip of the day.
	Listen, mate.
	Listen, mate.
	If brains were taxed, you'd get a refund.
	This is not the time for you to be interjecting, brother.
	This is a liberal member of Victoria Parliament who is railing against Dan Daniels with his opinion.
	You should just calm down and listen.
	Because at this point in time, the state is on its knees.
	And the weapon-grade idiocy we get from people like this, I don't even know where you're the member for, but I'm sure you won't be there next time.
	But what I do know, Mr Speaker, is that this state is on its knees.
	And the morons we get in this government who blame everyone else, they blame Victorians.
	They blamed hospital workers.
	They tried to blame the federal government.
	They even tried to blame overseas governments.
	They blame everyone but themselves.
	Take some responsibility for what is happening in this state, for what they're doing to our children, to our elderly.
	Take some responsibility.
	We say to the Premier, no.
	Oh, no, no, no.
	He's more interested in what he tweets.
	Excuse me.
	I heard him say Premier.
	Not Premier.
	You're in America and you say Premier.
	We say to the Premier, no.
	Oh no, no, no.
	He's more interested in what he tweets.
	He's more interested in what he puts on Facebook.
	Because for the Premier of this state, it's about him.
	The whole show's about him.
	His government's about him.
	It's not about them.
	These backbenchers encode their passengers.
	It's all about him.
	It's always ever been about him.
	It's not about anyone else.
	And that is the problem we have in Victoria.
	That the Premier of the state today sees this all about him and his legacy and his image.
	And that's why we've got a problem that we do.
	Because he wouldn't accept support from the federal government when it was offered.
	Because that would not be befitting with his masculinity.
	To say, oh no, I'll take someone else's help.
	Because it's all about him.
	Because Dan the man can solve everything he thinks.
	And solve it.
	He did not.
	Create a problem he did.
	That we're all paying for.
	That our economy will pay for for decades.
	Sounds like Cuomo to me.
	Remember, he's always, oh, I did it all right.
	I'm perfect.
	Here's my poster that I made to show you the great path we made.
	His show every day, every day, his TV show.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	There's some, I can see where you get that parallel from.
	Clip of the day.
	No, okay, I shouldn't have said that, yes.
	All right, jeez.
	You get so grouchy sometimes.
	I have clip of the day coming.
	Oh, I understand the problem now.
	Okay.
	Let's move to vaccines for a moment.
	We have the Russian vaccine that is out.
	It's a problem.
	It can't be right.
	This is, ah, screw these guys.
	It's Russian.
	I could be right.
	This is no good.
	Fauci don't like.
	This is a shot of vodka.
	Fauci don't like.
	Bloomberg Television, which is where you want to get your actual vaccine information because they have to kind of find out what's going to work and what won't so people can make informed business decisions or if they are out to deliberately misinform and then you can get that kind of knowledge as well.
	This is an interview short piece with a Russian investment manager.
	I think he handles one of the big Russian funds about the Russian vaccine.
	There's damaging reputation of the vaccine, sure, but I mean, you call it Sputnik.
	I mean, there is the idea that...
	Yeah, this is...
	I forgot to mention.
	It's their Sputnik moment because once again, they beat America.
	They beat us into space and they beat us with the vaccines.
	You want to get out there and you want to be first to then say that Russia is first.
	Dr.
	Anthony Fauci, who the majority of the U.S. listens to when it comes to the virus, says, I do hope that the Chinese and the Russians are actually testing the vaccine before they're administrating the vaccine to anyone because claims of having a vaccine ready to distribute before you do can be very challenging, very difficult.
	I mean, what's your response to something like that?
	You move too fast, you cut corners, there's going to be problems.
	Well, I think it's a very uneducated comment by Mr.
	Fauci.
	And we respect him as a deep professional.
	But, of course, Russia tests this approach extensively.
	China does as well.
	And we have the same debate on vaccines in the 50s and 60s.
	And, you know, when Russia was criticized, actually somebody in the United Nations said, trust us, we love our children and our families as much as you do.
	So this vaccine has been tested extensively.
	It will be tested again on several thousand people.
	We use also a very proprietary testing tool that allows us to measure very efficient antibodies that are being generated that attack the spark of coronavirus.
	So basically, it will be extensively additionally tested over the next couple of months.
	But mass vaccination in Russia will start in October, and I think it's important, it's a responsible move to make sure that our people are safe, our economy is back on track.
	We offer this to also other countries.
	We received more than 1 billion doses requests from 20 other countries, and we expect to produce them with five countries that will be our partners in producing Russian vaccine.
	So there is major momentum, and I think the world will see that Russia really played a huge role in fighting coronavirus, which is a joint struggle.
	Okay.
	Well, back home, in the Sputnik moment, we're having trouble.
	We have to slow down our phase three trial.
	We don't have the right people.
	We've got a problem.
	Houston, slow it down.
	Slow it down.
	Slow it down.
	Hey, Carl.
	Well, so much attention being paid to the speed of enrollment in these large vaccine trials for COVID-19.
	Moderna and Pfizer, of course, in the lead, having both started their vaccine trials in late July.
	Moderna CEO Stéphane Boncel telling me that the company is slightly slowing the enrollment in their large Phase 3 COVID-19 trial in order to ensure participation from We're good to go.
	Moderna is saying in particular they have not enrolled enough people from the black and African American communities.
	About 7% of those enrolled so far are from that community.
	And we've seen from the data that the black community faces not just greater risk of getting COVID-19, but of having more severe disease when they do get COVID-19.
	Why don't they just go into the black community?
	That's what she keeps calling it.
	I'm sure you can.
	It's a zip code.
	And just force it on them.
	There's a reason why the black community is not turning out in droves for your vaccine.
	It's called intelligence.
	It's not stupid.
	They don't trust them.
	Of course not.
	They should just go into the prisons.
	That's what they used to do.
	Or the army.
	If you're a soldier, you have to do what they tell you.
	Soldier for sure.
	So, there's plenty of members of the black community that could be...
	Recruited that way.
	This is this whole thing.
	Recruited.
	Well, I love how it's now a race.
	Well, they've got these many black people in the truck.
	Oh, looks like my daughter's moving ahead with a by a nose length.
	They've got more black people.
	I'm the black community is in dirt.
	NPR did a piece, which is your beat, but someone sent it to me, about the vaccine trials.
	And throughout the whole interview, did not ask the obvious question between the placebo group and the vaccine group.
	But for now, they're sticking with a larger trial, 30,000 people.
	Half of them get the real vaccine.
	Half of them get an injection with basically nothing in it.
	What happens then?
	You wait.
	You wait for what are called primary endpoints.
	These trials will use as a primary endpoint laboratory-confirmed COVID disease.
	That was Holly Janes again.
	She says, so, okay, if you get sick, you go and get tested to make sure that it was COVID and not something else.
	And you're looking to see if there are at least 50% fewer cases in the vaccinated group compared to the controlled placebo group.
	So my question would be, Were those people wearing masks?
	Were they hanging out?
	Were they social distancing?
	Were they having sex with spouses or strangers?
	I mean, there's so many questions.
	You just throw them out there and just one or the other?
	We're really not getting any information about this.
	These journalists today just don't seem...
	There's obvious questions to be asked and they never get asked.
	You can blame it on TV a little bit because we don't have time for all that crap.
	We just got to get this story out there.
	Can I report on something again?
	Yes, please.
	Train-wise?
	Yeah, of course.
	It's important.
	There has been a freight train going by loaded to the gills with cargo containers.
	Probably a thousand cars.
	And they were full.
	And they had three engines at the front and then some pusher engines in the middle.
	This train was so long.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it was lugging along because these cargo containers were full.
	So there's stuff coming in from China.
	This is a Chinese route right down the hill.
	You're part of the Belt and Road?
	I look like it.
	It's part of the Belt and Rail.
	Oh my god!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	I would say this.
	If there was a slowdown, that slowdown's over looking at this load that just went by.
	The whole load.
	Fauci had an operation for removal of a polyp on his vocal cord.
	Has he talked since?
	Yes, he has an interview, and I pulled a piece from it because there's a kicker at the end.
	How did it feel?
	How are you doing?
	I mean, because for me, I was off for six weeks, and I wasn't allowed to talk for almost two weeks.
	But you're back on the horse.
	Yeah, but you know, well, I think I probably should have done it your way rather than my way.
	So I had the surgery on a Thursday, and the ENT surgeon told me, essentially, don't utter a word until Sunday.
	And then Monday, he said you could talk for maybe five-minute intervals in a row, not back-to-back, a bunch of emergency, catastrophic, White House-related, you know, I guess the right word, crises, that I had I guess the right word, crises, that I had to get involved in a lot of animated discussion.
	And then I kicked myself after that.
	Oh, he's such a hero.
	With disregard for his own health, he went into the health crises.
	Because it didn't feel 100% great the way it did five days after the surgery.
	So now I'm pulling back.
	Did you know that there was something going on?
	Generally, over the years, because I give a lot of lectures, more than I really should, I generally rest my voice for a while, and when you do that, I get the full component back.
	But that wasn't the case this time.
	He believes a combination of having the flu in December and inflamed trachea and then nonstop work once the pandemic hit may be to blame.
	I want to stop here.
	Sounds pretty dubious to me.
	Wait a minute.
	Does the flu vaccine not work on Dr.
	Fauci?
	He had the flu!
	He had the flu!
	Yeah.
	Did he get the vaccine?
	Of course he did.
	Listen, this is the nation's top expert.
	He's going to tell you all the remedies he's tried.
	By the time I got to March, it was clear that my voice was shot because I would wake up in the morning and do, you know, the Today Show live.
	It would be like I had a frog in my throat, no matter how much I gargled with salt, you know, how much I drank a hot soup or a hot coffee.
	When I would get in front of the TV, I couldn't get my normal voice.
	Huh.
	Doesn't he have medication?
	Is there nothing medical science can do?
	He's doing salt water?
	Chicken soup?
	That's interesting.
	Chicken soup?
	Yeah.
	I know.
	Well, now he's still talking.
	His voice sounds the same with polyps.
	I think he's just explaining why he was told to shut up and go sit on the sidelines for a while.
	And now he's saying it again.
	For something else.
	Yeah, now he's saying it again.
	Like, well, you know, I'm going to have to be quiet again now because I kind of overdid it.
	Okay.
	You know, he didn't have to be.
	Yeah, you can still go to the meetings and write stuff down.
	You don't have to talk like he does.
	Something's up.
	Yeah, yes.
	By the way, I will mention that I was, during my heyday of giving a lot of public speeches, I was introduced to a homeopathic product out of Brazil.
	When I was in Brazil, I got this.
	Brazil is, a lot of people don't realize, is probably half the country relies on homeopathic medicine.
	Mm-hmm.
	And they have homeopathic drug stores all over the place.
	And they're not like our, you know, energy pill stores.
	They're just like a regular pharmacy.
	They're no Alex Jones.
	And they have all these crazy things that you can get, and everybody knows about homeopathic medicine there, and they all believe in it.
	So I was introduced to this kind of a salted, dried ginger root, little bitty pill-like thing, but it's actually a piece of ginger, and you chew on it.
	And you could talk for days with these things.
	It was quite phenomenal.
	Was there any coca leaf wrapped around it if you could really talk for days?
	That would be in Peru.
	A little bonus.
	You can get that in Peru.
	But no, it just was this...
	And I still have a batch of these somewhere.
	They're just fantastic.
	If you have public speaking, you can't either get a horse after a while.
	You take these things and jeez...
	Well, I mean, there's elements, there are things you can get.
	I'm sure Fauci knows about homeopathic methodologies.
	I don't think he could ever admit to it.
	That would be a huge violation of his hypocrite oath.
	Yeah, the hypocrite oath.
	I like that.
	Now, if there's something up with him, the immediate thing that comes to mind is the new doctor on the scene, Scott Atlas.
	This is Trump's new guy.
	So maybe Fauci is, well, not maybe, it seems that Atlas is the new guy.
	He gets to talk, and he has a very different view from Fauci.
	And NPR had a piece on him.
	So who is Dr.
	Atlas?
	Let's start with his background.
	Jeff?
	Well, he was a radiologist at Stanford.
	In the early 2000s, he joined the Hoover Institution, this right-wing think tank over at Stanford.
	No, it's not.
	After the outbreak...
	He should have said far-right-wing.
	That would have been so much more on message.
	What is it?
	It's not right-wing?
	It's conservative in a very traditional sense.
	Is that Victor Davis Hanson?
	He's at the Hoover?
	Well, he's one of the, I think he's, he may be at the Hoover.
	I think he is.
	But there's a lot of guys at the Hoover that are not far right wing nuts.
	Well, NPR, man.
	NPR. NPR is getting worse by the minute.
	I've said it on this show before and I'll say it again.
	But they are very entertaining.
	They're bigoted.
	Sorry.
	They are somewhat bigoted, I think.
	Just at Stanford.
	In the early 2000s, he joined the Hoover Institution, this right-wing think tank over at Stanford.
	After the outbreak started, he became a Fox News regular attacking the lockdown, saying America needs to reopen, kids should go back to school.
	That seems to be where Atlas caught the president's attention.
	Huh.
	Yeah, we've actually got a little bit of tape of him talking.
	This is Scott Atlas.
	Back in April, he was on the...
	Even that!
	Well, we've got a little bit of tape of him talking!
	It's a verbal eye roll.
	Am I misreading that?
	No, I'm not going to argue at this point.
	Bliss caught the president's attention.
	Yeah, we've actually got a little bit of tape of him talking.
	This is Scott Atlas.
	Back in April, he was on the Steve Gase show.
	That is a conservative talk show.
	Those who are not at risk to die or have a serious hospital requiring illness, we should be fine with letting them get infected, generating immunity on their own, And the more immunity in the community, the better we can eradicate the threat of the virus.
	Jeff Brumfield, he says we should be fine with letting them get infected.
	Am I hearing that right?
	Is he saying some people should just get sick with COVID? Yeah, so again, this was back in the spring, but he was advocating for an approach that's called...
	Getting, the way she puts it, she said people can get it, and most people are asymptomatic, but she equates getting it with getting sick.
	She immediately says that sick.
	And she's, by the way, talking about the eye roll, she has got the aghast sound in her voice.
	Oh, oh, oh my God.
	Did I hear that?
	Did I hear that right?
	Let me see if I can find her.
	And the more immunity in the community, the better we can eradicate the threat of the virus.
	Jeff Promphill, he says we should be fine with letting them get infected.
	Am I hearing that right?
	Is he saying some people should just get sick with COVID? Wow, she actually does it in a more interesting way.
	They should get infected.
	And then she turns it from, am I hearing that right?
	No, you just said what you heard, which was getting infected.
	And she said, am I hearing that right?
	They should get sick.
	Wow!
	That's like a one-man whipsaw.
	Yes, well done.
	Good catch.
	Yeah, so again, this was back in the spring, but he was advocating for an approach that's called herd immunity.
	And the idea is that if the virus infects enough people and those people are then immune, it will kind of end up running out of places to spread and burn itself out.
	Now, Atlas doesn't want to open up completely.
	He's advocated for letting the virus spread in the population while isolating the oldest and most vulnerable Americans so that they don't get sick and die.
	What do public health experts have to say about this?
	They say this is an incredibly dangerous and risky approach.
	First, it's very difficult to isolate one group of people from society.
	They're in the nursing homes.
	The CDC estimates about half of the American population has some kind of risk factor for COVID complications.
	And then the second problem is COVID can make young people really sick, even if it doesn't kill them.
	But I guess the point of their exercise is this is a right-wing thing.
	Right-wing, a conservative talk show.
	Right-wing guy.
	Right-wing.
	Yes, okay.
	That's not really subserving the public, which is part of the National Public Radio Service.
	No, no, you're way wrong.
	Way wrong.
	What am I wrong about?
	It's serving the public.
	It's serving the public in the most important way.
	Get rid of Trump.
	Get rid of these Republicans.
	Get rid of these conservatives.
	Get rid of all of them.
	And 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 chemtrails in a crop circle, John C. Dvorak!
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Kerr.
	Also, in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names and all the nights out there.
	Hey, trolls, in the morning to you.
	Let's have a quick count.
	Hands up, trolls.
	Woo!
	Woo!
	Did you hear that?
	I got the vapors.
	1632 or 132 above the normal eight-car Zephyr economic zone.
	This is servicing the public, ladies and gentlemen.
	That's what's going on right here.
	No, we're actually low.
	We get 17 plus on a Sunday.
	You're right.
	This is not Thursday.
	This is a Sunday.
	Oh my gosh.
	We're dying here.
	Things are falling off.
	We're dying on the vine.
	I guess everyone's like, it's just Australia who gives a crap.
	We need the Joe Rogan inoculation.
	It's coming, baby.
	It's coming.
	Tomorrow.
	Tomorrow.
	Tuesday at the ladies.
	Monday.
	Tuesday at the latest.
	Anyway, we're very happy to have every troll.
	All trolls count and they all matter to me.
	That's noagendastream.com where you can go in, troll along with the show, talk to anybody that you want to, but also troll the host if it's a live show.
	Listen to great podcasts, all talk, no commercials 24-7.

	Please, because I'm not your invite guy.
	It's just annoying to have to do that all the time.
	When I give you clear instructions every time.
	Oh, well, clear instructions don't mean a lot.
	That's true.
	In the morning to the artist for episode 1274, we titled that Thugs on the Plane.
	It's correct to record who we think is a fantastic artist.
	This was, uh, I had a problem.
	I had difficulty with this one.
	Um...
	But I thought, in hindsight, it looked really good.
	But I'm just a little tired of the takeoffs on logos with political names, with Trump or Biden-Harris.
	We've had a couple now.
	And it's just like, it's not all we are is a show about the election.
	But this creepy guy behind the Biden-Harris logo was quite remarkable.
	Remarkable, to say the least.
	It was creepy.
	That's why I liked it.
	Yeah.
	And we appreciate Corrector Record for making some creepy art.
	It made John smile.
	NoahArtGenerator.com is where you can find all of the art that our artists put together, that they are doing during the show, that are actually doing the work, and they're doing it live.
	And we appreciate all of it because we can use it in newsletters.
	It shows up on articles of clothing and utility at NoAgendaShop.com.
	And it just is a great value for the value for the show.
	It does trigger people into tapping on something when they see new creepy art.
	NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.
	We have executive producers and associate executive producers who have supported us for this episode.
	And let's thank them right now.
	Well, before we do that, I want to thank Paul Love of the Daddycast for sending me a sweatshirt.
	And he can add to his accounting $51.61.
	When he said, I didn't think, well, okay, well, this is interesting.
	Then he put in the note, was able to get this before they changed the names.
	It's a sweatshirt for Washington and Lee University.
	Yeah.
	Oh, well.
	They have to go.
	Are you going to walk around town?
	Go to Berkeley.
	Walk around.
	See how that works.
	No one will even notice.
	I mean, they'll just think I went to Washington and Lee, but they won't put two and two together because they're so stupid.
	It's a collector's item.
	This is a beautiful one.
	That's great.
	And I assume there's other Robert E. Lee related and George Washington related stuff out there.
	I'm waiting for him to change his name of the state of Washington to something else.
	Change the state of Washington to Black Lives Matter.
	No, the I can't breathe state.
	I can't breathe.
	Can I just say something about Black Lives Matter?
	It finally dawned on me What the problem is with this name.
	Black lives matter.
	Black lives, the word lives is not the same as people.
	It's basically organisms that function.
	You know what I mean?
	It's kind of a denigrating term.
	And it can be used for other things.
	With lives, we mean livelihood.
	It's tricky.
	It's really tricky.
	I think it's well thought out.
	Am I just babbling on this, or do you see what I'm looking at?
	I like your babbling on this.
	I don't agree with any of it, but I think it's amusing.
	Okay, we'll see.
	We'll see when they start to use it for something else.
	I gotta write these things down, man, because then I'd call you on it and you're like, I don't remember.
	Find a clip.
	Oh, well.
	Two can play that game.
	You know, a lot more people can play the game if they're contributors to the No Agenda show, starting with, in the case of the executive producerships, Sir Gene Morphus in Bellingham, Massachusetts.
	He sent a note in, this is a check that came in, and I'm going to give you the jingles first.
	Obama Chicken Dance?
	Mm-hmm.
	Putin, don't worry, be happy.
	And Amy Klobuchar's, that sounds pretty good.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Got those?
	Mm-hmm.
	Dear Holmes and Watson, thank you for your twice-per-week feats of media deconstruction daring do.
	From now until Election Day, the No Agenda show will be the must-listen podcast.
	I agree with that.
	Some book-selling comment from my book, Grow Your Brain.
	Anyone at any age can have...
	Oh, okay, let's try to read the title better than that.

	Anyone at any age can have a bigger brain, bigger, better brain.
	Available at Amazon or a bookstore near you.
	It would be appreciated.
	Okay, you just got your plug.
	And this was from Morphis, M-O-R-P-H-I-S. That would be the author...
	A quick shout out to my amazing wife, Pam.
	We just celebrated our 50th anniversary.
	Woo!
	That's a lot of years.
	And they never had a fight!
	They've never had a fight.
	We've heard that other couples sometimes have arguments or fights, but we, of course, have never experienced that ourselves.
	I knew it.
	And he says, best the other Sir Gene, Gene Morphus, the knight of neurogenesis.
	All right.
	And here's what you requested.
	A karma as well on that or just those jingles?
	He didn't say karma.
	This is a rowdy crowd.
	Yeah!
	Come on, guys.
	You're in my house.
	Hold on a second.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Hey, hey, hey, hey.
	Okay, you know what?
	Shame on you.
	Don't worry. .
	Be happy.
	Don't worry.
	I think that sounds pretty good.
	Man, the karma for me, 50 years ain't nothing.
	You've got karma.
	Next on the list, we have Alwa, Liebel.
	How do you think you pronounce that?
	Liebel.
	I think Liebel would be correct.
	Well, I'm thinking about the Alwa.
	A-L-O-I-S, Alois.
	Alois.
	Alois.
	It could be.
	33333 from Newark, Delaware.
	Oh.
	He's got some jingles.
	Don't trust China.
	Pass the Glock.
	Rebelizer and Trump's jobs.
	Thank you both for the twice-weekly sanity check if we can only get everyone to listen to No Agenda and make America think again.
	Instead of being sheeple over M5M masks and vaccines, I personally can't wait for the Gates vaccine, but I can't help but wonder why you would need more than one dose of a vaccine that is supposed to modify your DNA. Shouldn't the first modification take?
	Or are they trying to treat our chromosomes like Jenga blocks?
	I got an email from a producer who really pushed back on the idea that it changes the DNA. And then, you know, it's like...
	Gave me a whole different explanation, so I'm just not even going to...
	I don't even know what's happening anymore with this.
	If you say some DNA has changed, they say, no, the virus RNA will be changed.
	What happened just the old way?
	Shoot me up with some dead stuff and then we're done.
	Those dates are over.
	I need to thank you for bringing sanity to my wonderful wife, too.
	I hit her in the mouth for years, and she didn't start listening in earnest until COVID hit.
	She hasn't missed the show since March, and now is reassured by the fact that not everyone practices mental gymnastics.
	She surprised me recently when she made her first donation.
	Could you please deduce us both?
	You betcha.
	You've been...
	I think that's two people, one more, for sure.
	You've been deduced.
	I'm sure he needed it.
	With my latest donation of 33333, I've reached knighthood.
	I'd like to be knighted Sir Proteus, protector of the ones and zeros.
	This is in recognition of the Protean credential technology I've patented.
	Hmm.
	I simplified the authentication process while simultaneously eliminating centralized user data breaches and compromised credentials.
	I'm currently designing a project for decentralized content distribution, aka social media, leveraging protein security primitives.
	I'm going to give him a little pew-pew, a little pew-pew in the background.
	He's got something going on there.
	He should have a map.
	This goes on with leveraging protein security printers, blockchain, and IPFS with goal of open sourcing it at the end of the year.
	My Trump jobs will help motivate me to get it done.
	Absinthe and edibles at the round table.
	Please thank you for doing God's work.
	Absinthe and edibles.
	Excuse me, just the thought of it makes me cough.
	Donald Trump don't trust China.
	China is asshole.
	That's not the one he wanted.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, I've got to get the right one for him.
	Well, I'll play this thing next.
	India, hang out.
	Mike, stand by.
	33, 33, 33.
	Rob Eliza, out.
	I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	Jobs!
	This is Trump jobs.
	You've got karma.
	All right.
	Onward.
	I'd like to understand more of what he's up to there.
	It's probably something that...
	Something worthwhile.
	Yeah.
	I almost had comic strip guy there, but I couldn't quite keep it.
	It's a voice I'm working on.
	Mickey D, meanwhile, in Arlington, Virginia, 333.33.
	Hi, John and Adam, a loyal listener for five or so years now, and due to recent selling my house, I figured it's time to give back.
	I constantly hit my significant other in the mouth, hoping one day she'll await each show like a junkie, too.
	Apparently she hasn't.
	Grew up watching Tech TV and John C. Dvorak.
	Love all the jingles and funny quips.
	Let's give a...
	F-cancer and jobs...
	We had a little disconnect there.
	Let's give an F-cancer and jobs karma for all the dudes and dudettes out there.
	Keep the dream alive and find that exit strategy, my dude, says Mikey D. Thank you, Mikey D. Stop it!
	Stop it!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	We've got karma.
	Boom.
	Boom.
	Michael Obano in Miami Lakes, Florida.
	33333.
	Uh, and he says, happy belated birthday to you.
	You, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Oh, thank you very much.
	That's appreciated.
	Yeah, and so he continues by saying, I became, with this donation, I'm a knight.
	Mail carrier in Miami.
	We hate how we've been politicized.
	Do they have been politicized?
	These poor male guys?
	What do you mean?
	Have you not paid attention to the entire debate?
	No, I know, but what I'm asking, you didn't listen to the rest of it.
	I'm wondering if he gets grief.
	If you're walking down the street delivering the mail, do you think people give you grief?
	No, no, no.
	What I think is that housewives come out and like, oh, you're a hero.
	I think it's great for them.
	On that level.
	And house men too, by the way.
	What?
	What?
	I didn't hear what you said.
	It was a male sexist generalized quote.
	Oh, I won't let you say it again.
	No, thank you.
	Anyway, we hate how we've been politicized.
	We.
	Anyway, about COVID, we're scared in the beginning, but not anymore.
	We're basically forced to wear mask for our supervisors and customers.
	I just noted that FedEx and UPS guys are not wearing masks.
	Mm-hmm.
	The Postmaster General is making changes to cut overtime, but it will never work.
	It'll never work.
	For jingles, can you play Dr.
	Kiki's science, jobs, and karma?
	I'm grateful for everything I learned from the show I'd like to be knighted.
	Sergeant Postal.
	He was a sergeant in the Marines, Semper Fi.
	Yeah, Semper Fi.
	Looking forward to that.
	We'll see you at the round table.
	Shut up already!
	It's science!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yeah!
	You've got karma.
	Steve Banstra is next on the list at $333 in Nashville.
	And he's our last executive.
	Hey, please accept this donation and issue the requisite dedouching.
	Mm-hmm.
	You've been dedouched.
	I first heard about the podcast back in January of this year while attending an all-day gathering at our neighbor's.
	Huh.
	We're new to the neighborhood and the day progressed along with the drinking conversation.
	It began to move towards current events and it became clear to my wife and me that we weren't at a place, quote, where everybody feels the same.
	Okay.
	Then in walked their brother-in-law and everyone scattered like roaches.
	I was the only one left in the kitchen and he cornered me.
	This is typical.
	This is how we find each other.
	He began talking to me about some podcast with knights and dames and ex-DJs and computer geeks.
	All I could think of was what the hell kind of 80s Dungeons and Dragons shit is this guy talking about?
	Fast forward a few months, and Rona is here.
	I work in the airline industry, and I suddenly found myself with hours upon hours isolated in hotels while at work.
	Might as well give up and listen to that No Agenda show I heard about.
	I haven't missed the show since.
	Thank you to Scott, the brother-in-law, for punching me in the mouth.
	My smoking hot wife Jessica is now a listener as well, and I've learned that my high school buddy Kriegs is a douchebag.
	Yay!
	Douchebag!
	No karma, but it's like the It's True jingle, as that's my wife's favorite.
	Thanks for all you guys do.
	Steve in Nashville.
	Hey, Steve, that's a great note.
	And so somehow the programming works, because it's stuck in your brain.
	Whatever Scott, the brother-in-law, did, it's effective.
	We need to find out.
	I think it's funny.
	It's beautiful.
	It's a funny story.
	Yeah, and welcome to your smoking hot wife as well.
	That's true.
	There you go.
	Thank you very much for your courage.
	And I like the part where everyone's scattered.
	Like roaches.
	Yeah, that's what you do with no agenda people.
	They come in, everyone scatters.
	They don't want to deal with it.
	They don't want to deal with the truth.
	You must have a letter from Dame Astrid.
	I do.
	Happy birthday, Adam.
	Wishing you a great day every day.
	Don't you feel like we laugh more the older we get?
	Yes, I do, Dame Astrid.
	Life experience makes you calmer.
	That's something I learned over the past 13 years with you, John.
	I used to think that, you know, the end would be coming next year.
	And now we know it just takes a little longer.
	Sometimes it never really comes.
	Enjoy that Pepsi.
	What was once a matter of absolute vital importance to our young and underdeveloped frontal cortex seems slowly turning into a moment of comic relief.
	Keep it funny.
	Says Dame Astrid.
	She is the Duchess of Japan and all the disputed islands in the Japan Sea.
	And it's always nice to hear from her.
	And thank you very much.
	And she...
	He supported us with 256.93, obviously, birthday numbers encoded.
	Thank you again, Daymaster.
	And if I can continue with C-Mike for a moment, because C-Mike sent me a separate note, just so you know that I am quite fair.
	When I can't remember something properly.
	On the last show, I saw in the troll room that you actually despised the algos, algos, algos, we're all gonna die jingle, and you said that's not true.
	And I said someone else remembers it differently.
	Well, it was C-Mike, and I'm wrong.
	He originally recorded and sent the algos, algos, algos, more algos, we're all gonna die, exactly three years ago, as it turns out.
	That was September 3rd, 2017.
	And you did not like the algos, algos, algos, but you loved the we're all gonna die part.
	And so the algos, algos, algos went away, and we're all gonna die became a staple.
	We're all gonna die!
	And that is the story of the jingle.
	So the We're All Gonna Die came from the algos, algos, algos?
	We're All Gonna Die?
	That's what I'm understanding, yeah.
	Huh.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, it's tighter.
	Yes, it's much tighter.
	I'm in complete agreement with you.
	And I think you're right.
	If we'd heard it like that, I would have said the same thing.
	Well, he writes in this note, he does live in Kansas City.
	With this donation, I finally vault past the amount required for knighthood.
	At the round table, I request Kansas City strip and Cabernet Sauvignon, unless Sommelier Dvorak recommends a different wine pairing.
	No, that's pretty much the standard high-quality wine pairing, as long as the Cabernet is of good quality, which is...
	Which takes some effort.
	My wife loves the special Dvorak.org slash NA. So that, a dealer's choice for Reverend Manning and your best jobs karma.
	Yes.
	We can use it.
	Regards.
	Yes.
	And I believe he sent me that one to use.
	Here it is.
	Dvorak.org slash NA. They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a bit call.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs.
	You've got karma.
	It's my favorite Manning these days.
	I think it's becoming my favorite Manning.
	It's so ludicrous.
	I just use it all the time.
	I say, the apocalypse is coming, and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
	People just fries him.
	Huh?
	Sean Negrin in Clark, New Jersey, 22222.
	Didn't you live in Clark?
	Oh, that's your middle name.
	No, I did not.
	Uh...
	New Jersey update.
	My house has been increasing in value of $50,000 from all New York City people.
	We've heard about this, by the way.
	Wow!
	Dynamite!
	Rona Bucks!
	Apparently people are bailing from New York and buying standing homes in single family dwellings.
	Rona Bonus!
	It doesn't take much to change the dynamics there.
	Sure.
	Rona Bonus.
	It takes an hour to get into Ikea.
	New Jersey last in the nation to announce a restaurant indoor plan.
	We're sick of masks and I'm seeing more hushed secret Trump support.
	Yeah, not surprising.
	Not surprising.
	J. Robert Appleby Jr.
	in Greenberg, Pennsylvania, 21705.
	He sent a note in, an email.
	It's actually a combo kind of a check, but it was a bank check, so the email was separate.
	It's a Gmail.
	Thank you both for your bi-weekly podcasts that provide my wife and I a full weekend of listening pleasure.
	And as everyone knows, a couple that listens together stays together.
	We look forward every week to the deconstruction you provide of the M5M's wonderfully valuable news stories.
	Note, sarcasm, don't want anyone to mistake my meaning, as so many seem to do.
	In other words, he's ridiculing the M5M, just to further clarify the clarification.
	On a less cheery note, my month's donation is coming to you with some request from my lovely wife and myself to express our love and prayers for our grandmother, granddaughter, I'm sorry, granddaughter October, Toby.
	She has recently gone through surgery for cancer and will be going through radiation therapy to finish clearing it up.
	Luckily, the prognosis is good for complete recovery, but you never want to see your children or, in this case, grandchildren go through this.
	She's also having her 25th birthday celebration this week as well, so you have to put her on the list.
	Okay.
	Toby from who?
	Toby from Bob Applebee and wife.
	From the Applebee's.
	And 25 when?
	This week.
	This week.
	Okay.
	Roger.
	We'd like to have you put her on the birthday list, as we just did.
	And if you'd play the two following jingles, F Cancer and Goat Karma, for speeding her along with her recovery.
	Thank you again for providing us with all the best podcasts, with the best podcasts in the universe, and the best to you both, and to all of your loyal listeners.
	You bet.
	Thank you.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Goat.
	Got the goat.
	Todd Hendrickson in Woodstock, Illinois, 20202.
	Thanks to our brother, Chad, who hit both his brothers in the mouth, Kyle and Todd.
	Thankfully, none of us are douchebags.
	I was listening to the No Agenda show and decided to go for a run when I checked my cell phone battery charge status.
	33% charged.
	I knew it was a sign from above.
	If Adam is ever in the Chicago area visiting the Keepers family and wants to go flying, we are a family of pilots who regularly fly a Mooney.
	Oh!
	Oh!
	And an Aaronica Champ and a WW2T6 Texan.
	What about me?
	I'd love to go up in a Texan.
	I'll take one of each, please.
	Here's an idea.
	It would be great fun and an honor to fly such a delightful crackpot.
	Keep up the good, again, left out.
	I'm left out of going on a Hotep Jesus show, and now this.
	It's the worst.
	P.S. How can anyone stand Amy Goodman's snarky voice as a mystery to me?
	No jingles, no karma.
	Todd Hendrickson at Woodstock.
	Hey, why don't the Hendrickson's come down and pick us up?
	Now you're talking.
	A little cross-country.
	That's a flight, man, from Austin to Chicago.
	That's a cool flight.
	Yeah, you can go visit their relatives and then you can fly back in a commercial or fly back on something else.
	Yeah, I'll pay for gas.
	You'll pay for gas?
	Of course, of course.
	That's the deal.
	With pilots, it's a deal.
	We're flying your plane, I'll pay for the gas.
	At least that's the...
	I'm probably dumb.
	I probably pay too much.
	Last on the list, Farmer Todd in Wellsboro, PA. $200.
	Sharing some of my sweet corn money with you fellas.
	Love the show.
	Keep doing the work.
	Speaking of sweet corn, I drove from my place in north-central Pennsylvania to northwestern New York to pick up a bowl a few weeks ago.
	I count over 300 Trump signs, maybe 10 Biden signs and 22 sweet corn signs.
	Seems like an even sweet corn has a better chance at the presidency than Biden.
	Yeah, I like that kind of humor.
	And let me do this.
	You get a ring-ba-ding.
	Also, if possible, I'd like to call it Chester Corn Pop P for being a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	An old friend, his sister and bro-in-law are my neighbors and friends of mine, and he heard my name in the donation a few months ago.
	Asked if I was Farmer Todd, to which I responded, are you a douchebag?
	Yeah, I'm a douchebag.
	His response?
	100%.
	Please send some rain karma this way.
	Thanks for the upper...
	Oh, brother.
	Tia Doughton in North Central Pennsylvania.
	Yours truly.
	Farmer Todd.
	Pennsylvania Farmers.
	Yes.
	Pennsylvania Farmers.
	Yes.
	Pennsylvania Farmers.
	Pennsylvania Farmers.
	Yes.
	Pennsylvania Farmers.
	Pennsylvania Farmers That's a good one.
	Because you can just slip it in.
	You're a great Brolfin-Law.
	What do you say?
	What?
	Brolfin-Law says what?
	And you're actually being kind of mean.
	That's cool.
	Did we need anything here?
	He wants some karma.
	Oh yeah, the rain karma.
	That's right.
	We got that.
	You've got karma.
	So those are executive and associate executive producers for show, Lucky Show 1275.
	Yeah.
	I want to thank each and everyone of them for making the show possible.
	Value for Value is the only way we can be doing the type of show that we do.
	We decided that very early on, more than 13 years ago, or about 13 years ago now.
	Don't we have an anniversary coming up?
	In October.
	Is that our 13th or our 14th?
	I think it's our 14th.
	My goodness.
	And we never had a fight.
	Fantastic.
	Value for value is very simple.
	You listen to the show, what is it worth to you?
	Money is different for everybody.
	$10 could be a lot for you.
	Might not be so much for somebody else.
	Doesn't matter.
	That's the value.
	As long as you've got maximum value, put your maximum value you can into it.
	Your valuation.
	That's the only thing we ask for.
	And for those fortunate enough to be able to support at these amounts, you, of course, do become executive producers and associate executive producers of the best podcast in the universe, and you may use those titles in any capacity where you represent yourself as such.
	And if you need any vouching, we'll be happy to do it.
	You want to get in on this?
	Go to Dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A. Ah, yes.
	Oh, I'm ready.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	I see you have a number of C-SPAN clips, which I'm very interested in.
	Yes, these are gems.
	Do you mind if I do a quick Richard Grinnell thing about China before that?
	Oh no, you can do as much as you want, and I'm going to run these things.
	You're going to do a run of gems.
	You're going to love them.
	I know, you already teased me that you've got Clip of the Day.
	I take that kind of tease seriously.
	Very seriously.
	So Richard Grinnell, who is the U.S. ambassador...
	Does he have a protectorate these days?
	Is he a U.S. ambassador to...
	Is to the EU? I can't remember now.
	He was EU for a while.
	I will look him up on the Book of Knowledge as you continue to speak.
	Yes.
	So he was present and a part of brokering a deal between Kosovo And, uh, what's the other one?
	Oh, no, Grinnell's the acting director of the National Intelligence.
	Oh, that's right, he's National Intelligence now.
	So, Serbia and Kosovo, ever since the United States pretty much blew that whole region to bits with a cruise missile in, was that 2008, I think?
	A family of mine lived not too far.
	Wasn't that during the Clinton administration?
	No, not 2008.
	98.
	Was it 98?
	Yeah, something like that.
	98.
	I think it was 98.
	It was Clinton.
	I know Clinton did it.
	And it was really weird.
	I was actually still there.
	Now, that was a...
	Well, they said it was a sectarian war, but even the Dutch were involved in all kinds of...
	This is the one where we built the Chinese embassy, if you remember.
	That's exactly what happened.
	So, Grinnell and the White House and President Trump have negotiated a deal, an economic deal between these two.
	And, you know, we even covered in the past year or so, they're trying to capture a little piece.
	Hey, we want to have this piece of Serbia and we get that piece of Kosovo.
	And there's all kinds of things running around through this relationship.
	Well, they've put together a deal.
	And, you know, by itself, you could think it's not really sexy for the news media, and it turns out they really didn't do their homework, and this clip went viral to the detriment of the actual message, I think, but that's why we have the No Agenda show.
	It went viral because not only did they not even ask the first question about the agreement itself, they asked it about some...
	Some gay legislation agenda.
	In this case, it's a context to know that Richard Grinnell is gay, openly gay, married to a man, and...
	And so hilarity ensues, but they really miss what's going on, which I'll get to, but I'd like to play this bit first, because he does kind of spank him.
	Ambassador Grinnell, clearly you were effective here as the special envoy to these talks between Serbia and Kosovo, but I wanted to ask you about another initiative you led.
	Last year, you picked off the Trump administration's push to decriminalize homosexuality.
	Yeah, let me just talk about Kosovo in Serbia.
	I don't know if you can find it on a map, but this is atrocious.
	I have I've got to tell you guys, you might be too young to understand what this issue is about.
	Maybe the older journalists should step up and say, this is a big deal.
	This is a big issue.
	I'm astounded at what happens in Washington, D.C., and especially in this room.
	I've got to tell you, maybe it's too complicated of an issue for you all.
	Rick, respectfully, this is the first time we've had the opportunity to speak with these individuals.
	Okay, but today's most close to Serbia.
	Let's take a little time and talk about this 21-year issue, Peter.
	I mean, 21-year issue, we're getting the same questions that are all politics.
	You guys don't understand what's happening outside of Washington, D.C. People aren't listening to you anymore.
	It's really a crisis in journalism.
	And I think it's because people are too young to understand issues like Kosovo and Serbia.
	Peter, how about a substantive question?
	I don't think any of us came here for a lecture about our questioning.
	But the question I would like to ask you is, is it accurate to say that it's full economic normalization?
	There was some ambiguity as to whether that is what the deal is about.
	What do you mean by full?
	Well, that's the question for you.
	No, no, no.
	It's a question for you.
	What's your definition of full?
	This is economic normalization for whatever the two parties could bring together.
	I'm genuinely asking so that we can write our stories accurately.
	I would say it's economic normalization.
	What has changed from, you know, a few months ago when they pulled down the tariffs to today?
	What is the substantive?
	Have you read the agreement?
	You haven't put the agreement out.
	It's out.
	All right.
	So that last bit is to be the most important.
	It's out.
	These guys don't do their homework.
	And I think he's right.
	There's a couple things I want to mention because there was an issue journalistically there.
	Oh, good.
	Where the guy says, I didn't come here to get a lecture.
	Which I thought was a great comeback.
	It was a good line, yes.
	Except for the fact...
	That's exactly what he came for!
	Why are you going to a press conference if you don't want a lecture?
	You want to hear what's going on.
	That's what you're there for.
	Well, he said it was a lecture on how to ask questions.
	He didn't want that lecture.
	I know what it was, but the point was...
	I like the line, though.
	Peter!
	Peter, don't be so mean!
	Alright, is there anything else you want?
	Other points?
	No, the rest of it was just...
	He was right.
	He's a bunch of kids who don't know what the hell they're doing.
	So, of course, we didn't really get any reporting on what this is about, but this is no agenda, and we like to look at these things.
	So, it's kind of a short agreement, and the first thing is both parties will implement the Belgrade-Pristina-Rail Agreement, which is actually signed on February 14th.
	This is a very important issue, and you'll find out for a moment.
	As in addition...
	Parties will commit to a joint feasibility study on options for linking Belgrade-Pristina rail infrastructure to a deep sea port in the Adriatic Sea.
	So you know that this is about some pass-through transport that we're interested in.
	In addition to that, Kosovo, Pristina, and Serbia, Belgrade, will work with the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.
	So we're putting up money.
	And this will be to operationalize the following.
	The Peace Highway.
	God, couldn't we have come up with something better than that?
	The rail link between Pristina and Medar.
	The rail link between Nice and Pristina.
	Providing financing to support loans required for small and medium size.
	So this is basically, we are helping build something up here.
	Both parties will open and operationalize the common crossing point facility.
	So there will be a mini Schengen zone, so no passports needed between Serbia, Albania, and North Macedonia.
	Both parties will mutually recognize diplomas and professional certificates.
	This actually is a big deal.
	This is something the EU... I think finally figured out, is if you're a nurse in one country, in Serbia...
	Yes, you've got to be able to...
	Yeah, you've got to be able to...
	Okay.
	And here's my favorites.
	Both parties will agree to work with the U.S. Department of Energy and other appropriate U.S. government entities on a feasibility study for the purposes of sharing the Gazivod Ujmani Lake as a reliable water and energy supply.
	So maybe a dam in the future.
	Both parties will diversify their energy supplies.
	Hello, LPG from us.
	And both parties will prohibit the use of 5G equipment supplied by untrusted vendors in their communications networks where such equipment is already present.
	Both parties commit to removal and other mediation efforts in a timely fashion.
	China is asshole!
	This is a complete attack on China.
	Because China, they want to put their data center in, they want the Belt and Road going through the extension to Pristina, to the port.
	We're completely cock-blocking China!
	This is great!
	And everyone's arguing about, oh, don't lecture me on how to ask a question!
	And it's not the only place this is happening.
	This is also happening...
	Of all places, although you'll find out why, Papua New Guinea.
	As Papua New Guinea refuses to pay back loans to China, China's debt trap diplomacy has backfired spectacularly.
	And it looks like Scott Morrison has played his cards very well.
	Papua New Guinea, or PNG, an island country north of Australia, has set a great example on how to deal with China's debt trap diplomacy.
	The small island nation, where the infamous Chinese company Huawei had built a national data center with the loan of $53 million from the Export-Import Bank of China, is refusing to pay back the loans as China was using this data center to spy on the affairs of Papua New Guinea.
	This is actually a strategic and diplomatic victory for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
	As an early China hawk, Morrison saw that China is gaining a strategic advantage in the poor island nation by lending millions of dollars.
	He financed the study within a few months after coming to power which revealed that Huawei had built a faulty data center which is being used by the People's Liberation Army for military activities.
	Well, if people want to look into this, there's a lot of reports from a 60-minute show, the good one, the one in Australia.
	Yeah, the good one.
	On ABC. Because the Chinese have been doing the same thing at the Solomon Islands and all those islands that are outside of Australia.
	And they're doing this.
	And I bet they have fiber pass-throughs.
	That's where big fiber C cables might run through some of those, don't you think?
	There's a bunch of stuff the Chinese want to do, and they're using our old economic hitman strategy, except for the fact that they haven't got quite the leverage that we have.
	And so they can't quite pull it off.
	And I think they're going to lose a lot of money in some of these deals if we have anything to do with it.
	And I think we have a lot to do with it.
	Yes, of course we have a lot to do with it.
	And this is, I mean, obviously we're at war.
	We're at war.
	The president himself called it spy way, I think, at some point.
	He used that as some sort of Huawei spy way.
	I would like, here's what I'm missing.
	I'm missing some technical briefing on exactly how the backdoor, if there is one, or anything that we'll always put in, or if they've designed it with so much microcode that they can swap it out and turn it into a...
	I mean, I would like to see something other than just saying, well, it's from China, so therefore it's a backdoor from the People's Liberation Army.
	I would like to see some actual documentation that proves this.
	They've got the gear.
	Cisco knows.
	Well, if it's embedded somehow into the firmware, it just may not be possible.
	But is it really about that, or is it about just not letting them have control at all?
	Forget the spy part.
	They'll have control over something.
	They will have hands-on, in the data center, control over changing, modifying, rerouting, whatever.
	Yes, there's that.
	Yeah, that's probably more important.
	But still, if you're going to make these assertions, I'd like to see some documentation.
	China is going hard and heavy after our Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
	A long article by Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency.
	I should mention this is Epoch Times.
	When they talk disparagingly of some mouthpiece, they're on the opposite side of the equation.
	That lambasted U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for criticizing the Communist regime has unexpectedly backfired as Chinese netizens expressed support for Pompeo and criticized the CCP. On August 25th, Xinhua published a 30,000-word article to criticize the speech Pompeo delivered outside the Nixon Presidential Library in California on July 23rd.
	Xinhua said it was a total negation of the China-US relations and malicious attacks on the CCP's political system and undermines the CCP's relations with the Chinese people.
	It then excerpted 26 passages from Pompeo's speech and criticized them one by one.
	So he's the big badass.
	He's the big badass.
	Is China involved in the Nord Stream 2?
	I have no idea, but I've heard nothing like that.
	That's just a pure Russia play.
	Well, no, it's not just a play.
	I mean, it's a consortium.
	The Netherlands is in there.
	Hold on, let me just check real quick.
	Yeah, but it's Russian goo in there.
	No, I understand it's Russian goo.
	I'm just trying to see if there's...
	I thought there was a possibility that China might have been...
	Oh, here we go.
	Angela Merkel, Medvedev, Mark Rutte, so it's the French.
	Well...
	Theory.
	Theory, theory, theory.
	Actually, here's Pompeo.
	This is a redux clip, so just play a little bit and you'll remember what he was saying.
	Today, the Department of State is updating the public guidance for CATS authorities to include Nord Stream 2 and the second line of TurkStream 2.
	This action puts investments or other activities that are related to these Russian energy export pipelines at risk of U.S. sanctions.
	It's a clear warning to companies aiding and abetting Russia's malign influence projects I will not be tolerated.
	Okay.
	So, that was a big problem.
	Now, what is the issue with Nord Stream 2?
	It goes to Germany.
	So, what is Germany going to do?
	Angela Merkel, on one hand, she said, oh, Putin is no good.
	She's from Italy, apparently.
	So that's what she has to say on one hand.
	On the other hand, she's doing business with them because the oil or gas comes in from their pipelines.
	They make euros.
	They build Mercedes, Mybox, BMWs.
	Maybe not BMWs, but they send them all over to Russia.
	I mean, it's the euro circular movement in that region.
	So how does she get out of it?
	Well...
	What if it was part of some bigger play?
	And I mean play as in a play that's being acted.
	In part one, we've got Pompeo saying, hey people, you gotta get out.
	You gotta get out because we're gonna be sanctioned.
	It's not gonna be any good.
	And we can't have you relying on Russian gas.
	That's not good for you.
	That's very dangerous.
	We're gonna provide you with liquid petroleum gas.
	Russia...
	Then decides, okay, we're going to take action against Alexei Navalny in Syria, Siberia of all places.
	He's poisoned on his plane ride, goes into a coma, and where does he go?
	He goes to Germany, goes into the hospital there.
	Is it thinkable that this, and the poison thing, it bothers me.
	This is not a, I mean, what, is Putin really so dumb that he thinks, I need to kill somebody, I'm going to poison him on the plane?
	Seriously, that's, that, I mean, am I supposed to believe this?
	This is like a CSI shit show, 60 minute, wrap it up with your commercials plot.
	So is it possible that Navalny made some kind of deal, also getting him out of Russia?
	Maybe he actually was afraid for his life.
	He fakes the poison thing.
	Now Merkel, they had a meeting.
	Oh, we have to have meetings.
	Macron meetings.
	Oh, what are we going to do?
	We condemn what they've done.
	Maybe this is the way she politically can get out of the Nord Stream 2, which is almost finished.
	That's an interesting idea.
	We'll see if she calls it off.
	There's a lot of intrigue.
	Well, isn't that what this show is all about?
	It's about intrigue.
	I will say that the part of the theory where it's Putin that dumb, I have to kind of agree with that.
	Unless it was like, you know, it's like a Mexican cartel, you know, they make it clear who did the killing, so you know, so in case you're one of these guys against them, you think twice.
	But, yeah, probably.
	Anyway, okay.
	All right.
	C-SPAN stuff.
	Well, first off, let's start off with this.
	This is not the call-ins.
	This is Biden.
	My favorite clip of the week.
	You've heard this one.
	Have I? Which one is it?
	This is the C-SPAN Biden line fact-checked false.
	To Santa Monica, California.
	This is Linda.
	Good morning.
	On our Biden line.
	Yes.
	I'm also Biden.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on a second.
	Hold on.
	Is that Biden line fact-checked false clip?
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then I'm wrong.
	Let me, that's the one we play last.
	Okay.
	Let's start with C-SPAN call-ins.
	Trump TV to Biden won.
	Now, this is an example of somebody, a Trump supporter calling in, and then they kick it over to a Biden guy.
	This will be the Trump guy.
	And back to your calls, Cookville, Tennessee.
	Bob, good morning.
	Good morning.
	Thank you for taking my call.
	I'd just like to talk about the hypocrisy of what I'll call Biden's propaganda media outlets.
	A perfect example is...
	Until the polls started shifting on Biden, the Democrats and the media outlets was all calling it peaceful protest.
	But now that they're blaming Trump for all the violence, how does that work?
	When for three months they said they were peaceful protest.
	CNN, MSNBC would do stories with buildings.
	Is this guy a ham who's on like 80 meters at night?
	I mean, I had to leave this guy on there because he's got such an unbelievable...
	He's got such a ridiculous accent.
	And it's not a Tennessean accent, as far as I'm concerned, unless there's parts of Tennessee that have this accent.
	No, no.
	The Tennessee accent is generally more pleasant.
	This is ham radio.
	This is ham radio.
	Yeah, it's a ham radio guy.
	Three in the morning on 80 meters.
	Seriously.
	CNN, MSNBC would do stories with buildings burning in the background and saying, oh, that's just peaceful protest.
	And another hypocritical thing by the Democrats yesterday was the video of Nancy Pelosi in the beauty salon.
	It's the old ad to say, don't do as I do, do as I tell you to do.
	I mean, the hypocrisy that Brian Feltzer you had there yesterday, I tried to call him then.
	When are you going to have somebody on Fox News on your show?
	Oh, we actually had Chris Wallace here on his new book.
	Oh, he's not good.
	He's a rhino.
	I can't even watch you anymore.
	You asked the question, Bob.
	We have guests from all the networks as we're able to get them, when we're able to get them, but I appreciate your input.
	To Granite City, Illinois, David, buy your support.
	No, no, no.
	It's good for me.
	It's good for me.
	If you have better than this...
	Oh, they're all better than that.
	That guy is a legend.
	That guy's a...
	He's definitely saying CQ a lot.
	Hey, were you looking for the Biden light bulb thing?
	Is that what you were looking for?
	Yeah.
	Okay, I have a 12-second clip if and when you need it.
	Okay, we'll play it later.
	Okay.
	Let's go with the...
	This is part two of the same clip.
	Now we go to the Democrat.
	Oh, I hurt my finger.
	I laughed so much and I hit the mic so much it twirled backwards, but it really hurts.
	Hold on.
	This is Trump TV to Biden 2?
	I'm sorry.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Granite City, Illinois.
	David, a Biden supporter.
	Hi.
	I'd like to try to talk about...
	A problem that I see, if you want to talk about terrorism going on in this country, it actually is originating, in my opinion, at this time, from the electoral college being used to control the food supply chain in this country,
	making it impossible for most Americans to actually have a vote On their health because all the farms and all the meat packaging plants decided to build right next door to one another, keep it all in the family.
	And instead of the Electoral College being something about their taxes or their property, they turned it into...
	Warfare by spreading this COVID-19 that is originating and coming out of their food processing processes.
	That is the real terrorism going on.
	And the fear from it is making everyone...
	Upset, making everyone overreact, and it's at least partially causing the violence in the street.
	We welcome your comments on Twitter.
	All right, now, this is something very important.
	C-SPAN free advice from the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group.
	This is a hit program.
	This is hit programming that you have on your hands.
	And this is completely perfect for a podcast.
	The daily caller of the day, whatever you want.
	We need a branding for it, John.
	John, can you check with the creatives?
	We need branding for it.
	This is, this would make me so happy every day.
	Call of the day is a good brand.
	Call of the day.
	If I could have one Republican line, no, one Trump line, one Biden line, let's just make it, let's call it what it is.
	And just give me those two for a day.
	It would start my day off great.
	They have so many of these.
	And this one guy who collects these, he's got this look on his face, and he just looks into the camera like, oh, I actually went to college, and this is what I'm doing.
	That's the look.
	That's what he's saying to you.
	But audio is good enough.
	You don't even need the video.
	It's good enough.
	All right, what's next?
	What's next?
	So we go back to the Republicans.
	Yes?
	And this one's not as good as the first Republican, but this is not bad.
	But then we get to the two gems.
	Not that that last one wasn't a gem.
	But let's go to Cliff and the social worker.
	Okay, caller, go ahead.
	Okay, to Cliff in San Angelo, Texas.
	Go ahead.
	Good morning.
	I mean, it's so simple.
	I'm sitting here in my house talking to everybody this morning, and I have a lovely home.
	I've got a lovely neighbor next door across the street.
	What if all of a sudden one of those neighbors came and burned my house down?
	Just came across, set it on fire, and burned it down.
	I think anybody...
	Would be absolutely petrified, astounded, wouldn't believe it.
	And you would want who to come?
	Social worker?
	This is, again, this is such hit programming because you're hearing this throughout the entire country.
	There are people all over who are having these conversations with these quotes.
	Different versions.
	Having the colorful people do these versions is entertainment.
	It will be healing for the soul.
	Because we're also like, hey, there's more than just me.
	There's at least that guy.
	I think it's dynamite programming.
	Very good.
	Okay, now I've got the last two, which are both from the Biden line.
	And they're both dynamite.
	I'm going to go...
	One of them is just a bunch of memes.
	Let's play this one.
	This is the fact-check-false clip.
	And this is just a woman spewing the hate memes that they've created around Trump.
	And all she's doing is just repeating them.
	And she's a guest.
	And this, by the way, this woman is the one who is the one you run into in the Berkeley area.
	This is the one I ran into at the dinner party.
	And the next-door neighbor is this way.
	You know, it's Putin, Putin, Putin.
	A lot of Putin.
	And so let's play this one out.
	To Santa Monica, California.
	This is Linda.
	Good morning.
	On our Biden line.
	Yes, I'm also Biden.
	And to talk about law and order, this is a president who had a fake school, which was fraud, who also did not file federal taxes.
	A man who also was going to build condos in Baja, took money, never built them.
	And his father, who actually ended up in jail for marching with the KKK, and he's talking about law and order, a man who won't even call, won't even ask Putin about the bounties on our military, and he's got to realize, when he's talking about bad Democrats, we have military men who are Democrats, too.
	Oh my, she really took it hook, line, and sinker, didn't she?
	She's really only reading, listening to Rachel Maddow, I guess.
	Yeah, it sounds like Rachel Maddow stuff.
	Yeah, a little bit like that.
	Got everything wrong, but okay.
	Well, again, entertaining, my day is good.
	Okay, well, this one here will entertain you the most.
	Okay.
	I believe this is the best of the group.
	You know, you can take or leave any of them, but this is the woman with the...
	You've heard of herd immunity?
	Let's try this one on for size.
	All right, we'll hear from Josephine in Livingston, New Jersey, on our Biden line.
	Good morning.
	Morning.
	It is very, very sad that this country has come to the point that you against me, just like the woman you heard from California...
	My God, do we really live in America?
	This idolatry to Lucifer.
	That's how I label Trump, I have to say it.
	This idolatry to Lucifer.
	And even the white evangelical church who proclaims themselves pro-life.
	They're not pro-life.
	They're pro-birth.
	Now they're saying, go die, like this Dr.
	Atlas that Trump has just hired, who believes in this To get to that herd mentality, two million people have to die.
	Tony's next on our Trump Live from Joppa Merrill.
	Go ahead.
	Clip of the day.
	I mean, you had built it up so much, even if I hadn't laughed, I would have given it to you.
	But that was...
	Do you have that ISO? Tell me you have two million people.
	No, I didn't ISO it.
	I'm sorry.
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	There's at least two or three items there.
	Which one are you thinking?
	Two million people have to die?
	Die!
	No, no, it's this one here.
	Hold on, let me see if I can get it.
	I'm zooming in on the clips kind of hard.
	Two million people have to die.
	Oh, it's so morbid.
	Two million people have to die.
	I mean, I don't even want to argue over an end-of-show ISO, actually.
	It's just that good.
	A million people have to die.
	That's how you get herd mentality.
	Yeah, herd mentality.
	Scott Atlas with his right-wing herd mentality.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	We would not be able...
	We would have to lock the door.
	The advertisers would be all over us.
	The...
	Half the people that call in to C-SPAN are in the bag.
	They're just...
	No kidding.
	Drunk.
	No kidding.
	Well, Joe's doing okay himself.
	Why in God's name don't we teach...
	History.
	In history classes.
	A black man and men at the light bulb.
	Not a white guy named Edison.
	Okay?
	Okay.
	Wow.
	He's full of shit.
	Did you look into it?
	I certainly did.
	You know what?
	Here's my analysis of it.
	If you look at the Wikipedia page...
	You could derive that from the way it's written.
	But patents actually do matter.
	And look, I think technological inventions are very complicated when it comes to accreditation.
	And if I may explain why, and then I would love to hear you, because you actually have dealt with some of this stuff, probably as a legal witness or specialist.
	Podcasting.
	Did I invent RSS? No.
	Did I invent MP3? No.
	Did I invent the iPod?
	No.
	Did I invent, you know, HTTP? No.
	Did I string these two together and say, look at what I got?
	Yeah.
	So, you know, there was a part of the concept of the subscription.
	It was my idea, and I communicated it.
	Dave Weiner gladly implemented it.
	You know, so is he an inventor?
	Yes.
	But, you know, where does it stop?
	How does it work?
	And what does it matter?
	What does it matter to racialize that?
	It's shame on you, Joe Biden.
	Yeah, it was pretty pathetic.
	Shame on you.
	Well, this is a little different.
	I think the light bulb is a little different than the podcast, to be honest about it.
	Equally important.
	Oh, I don't think Joe Rogan would agree with that.
	Oh, gosh.
	That's what I just heard.
	The light bulb was invented by Edison.
	It was patented a year before Latimer did anything with the light bulb, and he came up with an improvement on the light bulb.
	A filament improvement.
	Yeah, and it was a good one, but it wasn't the final one.
	The final one was using tungsten, which was neither one of those guys.
	I think it came out of Edison's labs, though.
	Latimer ended up working in Edison's shop.
	Yeah, he didn't get screwed.
	No, he did very good for himself.
	Yeah, he didn't get screwed at all.
	And he was one of the contributors to a lot of other inventions.
	He was one of those inventive guys.
	Happened to be black.
	And he happened to add a little...
	In fact, he probably...
	The improvement on the light bulb was probably...
	Not to say that I can go back that far in time and actually say this, but it's the same way it goes on today.
	Look what I did.
	I should be working for you.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And he ended up working for him.
	So there you have it.
	So what, Joe?
	How about that George Washington University professor, Dr.
	Krug, who came out as being not black?
	But Jewish and from Kansas, as if that is something to do with it.
	Another Rachel Dolezal, or whatever her name is.
	This is really, but you know, here, this is from the note from the university to staff and students.
	It'll be fun reading.
	Many of you understandably have many questions in the wake of the Medium post by GW faculty member Jessica Krug.
	While the university reviews the situation, Dr.
	Krug will not be teaching her class this semester.
	We are working on developing a number of options for students in those classes, which will be communicated to affected students as soon as possible.
	We want to acknowledge the pain this situation has caused for many in our community and recognize that many students, faculty, staff, and alumni are hurting.
	Students who have been affected are encouraged to seek support from our Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement, ODCE, Counseling and Psychological Services, CAPS, or Office of Advocacy and Support, OAS. Assistance for faculty and staff is available through our well-being hotline.
	Oh, man!
	Hey!
	They're hurting!
	Please know that we are taking this situation seriously and are here to support our community.
	That's from the provost.
	From the provost, I tell you.
	How about that?
	How about that?
	For a long time.
	Not just by the fact that this guy was a phony...
	But it's just like, oh, well, whatever he said, because he's not really black, he's no good.
	He took advantage of the situation, which he obviously did.
	Of course, of course.
	There's just some fun stuff going on.
	Just fun stuff to shake your head at, like this USC professor, professor who teaches Chinese.
	Yeah.
	You saw what happened with this guy?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	He got canceled.
	Well, I don't know if he got canceled, canceled, canceled, but students were upset and left the class.
	Here it is.
	You have a lot of um or errs, and this is culturally specific.
	So based on your native language, like in China, the common word is that, that, that, that, that.
	So in China, it might be nega, nega, nega, nega.
	So there's different words that you'll hear in different countries, but they're vocal to school in states that are saying that, that, that, um, er, er, er.
	So apparently people heard what they wanted to hear and they just went nuts over it.
	So he should have not even, just not taught that part of the class.
	Because it's triggering.
	Oh, these students are the worst.
	No.
	No, no.
	This is the worst.
	If there's such a thing as the worst clip of the day, this is going to be it.
	And I think it's important to hear it.
	This is Idris Robinson, who is a professor in the philosophy department of University of New Mexico.
	And he did a lecture recently.
	And...
	It's all a metaphor because he is going to cite something from a James Baldwin story, but it's worth hearing because he may be onto something, not the literal version of what he's going to say here, but some version of it, of which is a derivative that we're living right now when it comes to Black Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter Inc.
	would be maybe more fair to say, and what is happening in Identity politics, intersectionality, and social privilege discourse, they're all the modes of the police.
	What's more, and above all, is that each of these discourses ignore the very morbid, scary, and terrifying libidinal politics that undergirds race in this country.
	It took someone as courageous as James Baldwin to say this, But the problem is that everyone is afraid to repeat it.
	If you read his story, his phenomenal short story, Going to Beat My Man, you can really acutely see the dynamics of racism in this country.
	To briefly summarize the story, it starts in the bedroom of a white couple, a white heterosexual couple.
	The white man is struggling with impotence.
	How does he get over his impotence?
	He remembers back to a time as a child where he was brought to a lynching.
	At that lynching, the corpse was not only mutilated, it was sexually mutilated, and he was given the genitalia.
	Once he remembered his being handed the genitalia, he was then able to become erect.
	This is deep stuff.
	No one likes talking about it.
	But this is the core of racism that we need to touch.
	What's more, I think no one wants to touch this part of the race problem is because we're all implicated in it.
	It's obvious that white liberals get off on the videos of black murder.
	It's even more obvious that there are black liberals who are more than happy to sell these videos of black death for their own careerist goals.
	But if we don't take into account These libidinal drives within racism, we cannot explain how and why Ahmaud Arbery was killed.
	It has nothing to do with the police.
	It has to do with what is driving American society as such.
	I gotta ask Hotep Jesus about this.
	Where did you get that clip?
	It was sent to me.
	It's the whole lecture.
	He's a black guy, this Idris, just as an aside.
	Isn't that disturbing?
	Yes, that's sick.
	He's a professor, University of New Mexico, in philosophy.
	Well, he's a sick man.
	Well, I'm going to do some research on this.
	I thought I needed to play that, moreover, because he said, it's hard to talk about.
	Yeah, no kidding.
	I found it triggering.
	Well, it's hard to talk about because it's largely a construct that he probably put together himself, and it's bullshit.
	Hold on, man.
	James Baldwin wrote that stuff.
	Was that bullshit?
	He's a fiction writer.
	With a grudge.
	He was a very...
	Fiction writer with a grudge.
	Fiction writer with a grudge.
	He had a grudge.
	He was like, he hated the heterosexual...
	I mean, he was a gay, major gay black man in an era when it was very...
	Uncool.
	It was hard to do that way.
	It wasn't cool.
	And considered like this great literary...
	I didn't know this story.
	I've read his material.
	He's a good writer.
	But I don't know.
	You missed this particular...
	You missed this ditty.
	Yeah, I sure did.
	Anyway, don't worry.
	Don't worry, everybody.
	This stuff is going on everywhere.
	Dude named Ben sent in this beautiful note about diversity being integrated into his IT department and how, you know, he can't say anything.
	He can't even, you know, it's online forums and they're supposed to be able to discuss anonymously.
	Oh, yeah.
	And then they just post big pictures of, okay, white man.
	That's the meme now.
	In the Netherlands!
	It's everywhere.
	This is not just the United States.
	And the Netherlands has a very different history and slave culture, if we can call it that.
	So this is a worldwide thing that's going on.
	Yeah.
	That's good to remind people.
	Can you take us into something happy before we do the donation segment?
	No, I want to stay.
	We're on this topic.
	I want to play this flawed report.
	Okay.
	This is a Kentucky...
	This is PBS, the news of the weekend, the substitute guy, and this is good.
	I want you to listen to this report and tell me what's wrong with it.
	In Louisville, Kentucky, far-right and self-described militia members gathered for a rally and marched this morning.
	Organizers described it as an event to support police and oppose far-left groups they called domestic terrorists.
	Hundreds attended, many of them armed, and marched near downtown after a rally at a city park.
	In the early afternoon, there were some scuffles with counter-protesters.
	Louisville has been one of the centers of nationwide Black Lives Matter demonstrations since the police killing of 26-year-old Breonna Taylor in March.
	Louisville Metro police officers shot Taylor while executing a no-notch search warrant.
	Taylor, who was an EMT, was unarmed.
	Wow, that was very confusing what happened in that report.
	Well, besides that, what about the end of the report?
	He makes it sound as though, and this really irks me.
	Yeah, I know what you're saying, of course.
	These guys can be honest.
	What happened with the Breonna Taylor shooting, it wasn't like they barged in.
	If you play the end of that again, it sounds like the cops busted in Saw her and shot her dead on the spot.
	That's exactly what it sounds like.
	Let's replay in the end.
	Louisville Metro Police officers shot Taylor while executing a no-notch search warrant.
	Taylor, who was an EMT, was unarmed.
	All right.
	She was sleeping with her boyfriend.
	The boyfriend was armed.
	I don't know if that counts in this report, but PBS doesn't want to include it.
	They busted in with this stupid no-knock warrant.
	You've seen these things executed before.
	So they yell, police, they bust in.
	Yeah, on cops.
	And the boyfriend took a gun, said they were intruders, took a shot, hit the sergeant right in the leg, and they gunned down the two of them.
	But they didn't kill him.
	I think he's still alive.
	That's a very good explanation.
	It's a minor, is it minor to put the details in or is it better just to make it sound as though they, the way he did, they busted in, saw her and shot her dead.
	She was by herself.
	I don't know what I'm going to do in here.
	Boom, dead.
	I mean, this is unconscionable.
	This is the M5M at its worst.
	PBS and NPR right now are leading the way in competition with the MSNBCs and CNNs.
	That's very much like...
	Video in black man's suffocation shows cop put hood on him.
	Cops put hood on Daniel Prude and pressed face down for two minutes.
	Protests erupt after Daniel Prude died of asphyxiation when cops put hood on his head and pressed face down for two minutes.
	This is a blatant lie.
	The hood is a spit hood.
	The spit hood is used...
	We've gone over this many times.
	Bad Chad in Boulder.
	He has told me all about this.
	You get someone who has excited delirium.
	They're coming out of...
	Or if you bring them back from an OD with...
	What is it?
	Naloxone.
	But if fentanyl, they can be in an incredibly violent state.
	They'd be spitting, so that's a spit hood.
	This guy, a toxicology report, he asphyxiated from the drugs.
	And they were protected.
	You don't want these guys spitting on you.
	And most of the time, EMTs are trying to help a person like this.
	Trying to help.
	And the cops are assisting the EMTs so they can get them strapped down and jack them with something so they calm them down or they'll eventually die if they can even save them at that moment.
	But no.
	That's how it's reported.
	It's unconscionable.
	I'm reporting by people who are trained journalists and they're giving us bad information just to stir things up.
	That's the only possible reason to do this.
	China is asshole.
	I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	Alright, so let's thank a few people for show 1273.
	No, 1275.
	Oh, 1275.
	I'm off by two.
	For sure.
	But Heather Rodriguez isn't off by two.
	She came in with $191.33 from Stockton, California.
	And this is for her husband's knighthood.
	Oh.
	So he wants to be known as Knight Dagblood Bane of Mad River.
	Uh-huh.
	And he needs Stoli Elite.
	Yes.
	And Standing Ribros at the round table, along with a D-Douching.
	Okay.
	Guys, can you get a Stoli Elite and a Standing Ribros?
	Yeah, it's okay.
	It's good.
	It's being taken care of.
	And we'll give you some karma at the end.

	Ryan Smith in Raleigh, North Carolina, 93-33.
	Eric, these are a lot of these...

	Is Goodyear where they actually invented that tire?
	Or is that where they make them?
	Is that where the company started?
	Is that where they invented the blimp?
	The Goodyear company goes way back, so it's in Ohio or someplace like that.
	Oh.

	Dame Francine.
	Dame Francine.
	No, she actually sent me a note.
	She's from Phoenix?
	When did she move out of New York?
	I think she's always been from Phoenix.
	I think.
	Not that...
	Hmm...
	I thought so.
	Well, she sent me a nice note, and she said, you know, it's that time again.
	So nice, you know, everything's going well.
	I'm always happy to hear from Dame Francine.
	I don't know if she listens all the time anymore.
	Yeah, probably not.
	Excuse me.
	No, I don't know.
	Could be.

	Timothy Daniels, 50-05, and the following people are $50 donators, name and location if I have it, which is starting with Sir Matthew Januszewski in Chicago, Michael Cox in Ruston, Virginia, and Mary Hui in Parts Unknown, and that's it.
	Very short list of 50s.
	Yes, I think you missed Timothy Daniels, I think.
	I'm pretty sure I said Timothy Daniels 50-50.
	I didn't get the dedouching.
	No, well, there were two dedouchings.
	That's why I wanted to do him and Katie Berryhill.
	Both needed a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	And everybody will be enjoying some...
	Wait, wait.
	I'm sorry.
	It looks like Michael Cox and Reston wanted a de-douching, too.
	You've been de-douched.
	Okay.
	Yeah, those weren't...
	We do need kind of those de-douching things.
	Although...
	Anyway, fine.
	Perfect.
	We're going to give away some karma, some jobs karma requested.
	Well, we don't give it away.
	We just do as commanded.
	And that will also apply to anyone who donated under $50.
	That is our cutoff for mentions and, of course, a great cutoff for people who'd rather be anonymous.
	Oh, I'm tangled up.
	Sorry.
	Pull the Dvorak.
	I'm still pulling the Dvorak.
	Oh, there we go.
	You know when you move and your head goes jerk because the headphone wire is stuck?

	It's your birthday party.
	And here's what we're looking like for our birthdays.
	We've got Toby from the Applebee's.

	Jeff Kenyon says happy birthday to his son, Sir Jake Kenyon, celebrates on the 8th.

	Kind of belated, but happy birthday anyway from the best podcast in the universe.
	Happy birthday, yeah!
	We have a note.
	The Shills Back Office Tour is coming to Horn Rapids Park in West Richland, Washington.
	On the 9th, from 6 to 8 p.m., doing a meetup.
	I think these are also listed on noagendameetups.com, so you can go get more of the information there.
	I think it's fun, the shill with his whole family.
	You can go hang out with them.
	I believe this is an educational tour for his children in disguise.
	Do you get that idea, John?
	Could be, but if the kids are a kick, they'd be fun to meet.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, that's quite an endorsement coming from you.
	That's very nice.
	We have a couple of dames and knights, which is very exciting.
	We have quite a few recognizable names here on the list, so if we can get a nice sword for everybody.
	There we go.
	The Blade of Champions.
	Nice.
	Perfect.
	Up on the podium, please!
	Jennifer!
	Okay.
	Al Weiss, Liebel, Manuel Obando, C. Mike, and Heather's husband.
	All of you are welcome here at the round table of the No Agenda Nights at Day and Time.

	That's where you can get your, well, you hand off some information to the shill where you can send everything, get your ring size.
	And the signet ring, the sealing wax, and your certificate are on their way.
	And thank you so much for your courage and for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	No agenda meetups.
	Okay, I wanted to, there's a quick meetup report from the West Seattle Burien homeschooling meetup.
	This is very interesting.
	This is, I think, the second one they've done so far.
	This is Stephen and Hannah, who have started LibertySchoolFromHome.org.
	LibertySchoolFromHome.org.
	And they've been meeting with parents and human resources.
	Our gathering grew this time and included a third family, Sir Jared of South Burien and his wife Stephanie and their four children.
	We also had Jennifer, a local tutor, as well as Jeremy, Jen and an additional four neighborhood human resources.
	In total, the meetup counts were seven adults and nine human resources.
	A discussion was lively with concerns for the school year that has just begun in the greater Seattle area.
	Some families were working within the system, some were newly minted homeschoolers, but all were concerned about the extremely limited level of social interactions that the districts are implementing for our safety.
	So they've established a mailing list, which you can get through that libertyschoolfromhome.org, and it also serves a school-from-home-oriented counterpart to noagendameetups.com.
	I would say more partner, not just counterpart.
	So I just want to make sure everyone knows, because I think that's very important that you get together.
	And if No Agenda Meetups helps facilitate that, all the better.
	And here are the meetups coming today, actually.
	The pig roast in South Jersey kicks off at 5 o'clock.
	Yes, you read that correctly.
	A pig roast in Medford Lakes, New Jersey.
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	Jersey strong.
	They take skills to cook a whole pig.
	They probably have it in the ground or on a spit.
	We want pictures, we want video, and a meetup report, for sure.
	So go to noagendameetups.com immediately to get info on that.
	Wednesday, the Eindhoven Streip S meetup at 6 o'clock Central Euro Summertime.
	This will be the first meetup in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, at the Ketelhaus in the middle of Streip S. Also on Wednesday, that is the, as I mentioned earlier, the back office listening tour.
	Oh, protest number one, hashtag.
	Friday the 11th, Seattle's No Agenda 9-11 meetup.
	Stewart Park at 7-30.
	Patrick's your organizer.
	Melt.
	Meet at shelter number five.
	September 11th.
	Wow.
	We haven't even had the typical pre-promotion for this event, have we?
	7-11.
	9-11.
	I mean 9-11?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I know.
	I don't know what they're going to do.
	Well, we're not going to have the reading of names at the monument because, you know, Rona.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, they'll be meeting up at Christian's coffin.
	It's the Christian coffin's 9-11 birthday in Castleberry, Florida.
	Okay.
	Christian turns 37 on the 19th.
	He'll be on the 19th anniversary of 9-11.
	And be sure to check out NoAgendaMeetups.com for details.
	And then, just coming up in September, we've got the 12th, Niagara Falls, Midland, Texas, Agora Hills, Suissen City, California.
	How do I pronounce that?
	S-U-I-S-U-N. I'm sorry?
	S-U-I-S-U-N City, California.
	Oh, Susan.
	Susan?
	Susan?
	Susan City.
	Susan City.
	Columbus, Grove City, Ohio.
	September 18th, Amsterdam.
	We have another back office listening tour in Missoula, Montana.
	The 19th, Springfield, Missouri.
	The 26th, Monroe, Washington.
	The 26th, Long Beach, California.
	The 29th, Fort Collins, Colorado is where the back office listening tour will be.
	It's obvious these things are good for our health right now.
	Amyglas need to be shrunk.
	And you can do that by hanging out with people who understand, will not be triggered, and just want to say stuff, and if we're clumsy, it's okay.
	Noagendameetups.com.
	That whole thing is 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 on hell's flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I have a few follow-up end of show stuff.
	I have...
	I don't know if I should play this at the very end.
	It's an anti-Trump.
	It's one of the Trump's America ads.
	Joe Biden 30-second ad, which is promoting the idea that all this violence is because of Trump, and you're going to get more of it if you re-elect the guy, which seems like a form of extortion I don't think the people are going to like.
	This is Trump's America.
	He won't bring us together.
	He doesn't want to.
	And never will.
	He only divides.
	Inflames.
	Infuriates.
	And tears people apart.
	Always making things worse.
	It's Trump's America.
	And it's time to turn the page.
	I'm Joe Biden, and I approve this message.
	Build back better.
	It's a new jingle we have.
	Thank you.
	For the campaign.
	Oh.
	It's our own version.
	It's pretty good.
	Yeah.
	I want to at least make some comment on this bullcrap quote, Trump being anti...
	Oh, Trump said something bad.
	He said everyone's an idiot.
	Oh, yeah.
	I do have this...
	I have the PBS on this one, which I believe is kind of a semi-whipsaw.
	Okay.
	And this is the PBS on Trump war comments.
	President Donald Trump spent much of today at his Virginia golf club and continued to deny news reports that he has disparaged military service members.
	The Atlantic, citing anonymous sources, reported on Thursday that the president called Americans who died in war, quote, losers and suckers.
	He allegedly made the comments while on a 2018 trip to France before a visit to an American military cemetery was canceled.
	The administration and Mr.
	Trump say the trip was called off due to a heavy rainstorm.
	The president denied he made the comments again yesterday at a late afternoon White House news conference.
	No, it was a fake story written by a magazine that was probably not going to be around much longer.
	But it was a totally fake story, and that was confirmed by many people who were actually there.
	Yesterday, Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin said she confirms parts of the Atlantic story.
	John, I've spoken with two senior U.S. officials who were on the trip to France who confirmed to me key details in the Atlantic article and the quotes attributed to the president.
	My source, a former Trump administration official, told me when the president spoke about the Vietnam War, he said it was a stupid war.
	Anyone who went was a sucker.
	Mr.
	Trump said Griffin, quote, should be fired for this kind of reporting.
	A number of issues.
	Yes, your take, sir.
	Do you have any?
	Yeah, I have a couple of issues, but go ahead.
	Let me get mine out of the way.
	So we had this woman come on Fox, and she's like, you know, one of the...
	Anti-Trumpers on Fox.
	And they make this sound like he's saying disparaging stuff and they related it to World War II, talking about why he didn't visit that one graveyard.
	But then she comes out and makes a quote that he said the Vietnam War was stupid and the people that went to the Vietnam War were suckers.
	It's not the same as people in World War II Or any other war for that matter, even though whether he said this or not, I wouldn't be surprised if he did say at some point in time to somebody, because a lot of people felt the Vietnam War was stupid.
	And I worked with the guys that went to the Vietnam War, and many of them felt that they were suckered into going.
	So that one, I'll just let that slide a little bit.
	Let's go back to Bolton, who was at all these things at the time, said this didn't happen, and Bolton's got no love, laws for Trump.
	The second thing was when I said, well, why are these guys anonymous?
	Why do we have all these anonymous people confirming anonymous people?
	And then when she said that these were ex-Trump officials, there is zero...
	Can you hear me?
	Yeah, don't worry, I'm here.
	There is zero reason...
	Zero reason for any of them to not come out and say who they are.
	They don't work for Trump anymore.
	They're not going to lose their jobs.
	They're going to probably get a book deal if they came out.
	But no, they didn't say anything.
	And then I want to comment on Trump's comment that, oh, this magazine's not going to be around much longer.
	Does he have a clue?
	This magazine is owned by Lorraine Jobs, one of the richest women in the world that can keep this magazine going to infinity.
	For as long as she wants.
	Yep.
	So this whole thing is bullcrap.
	And then it dawned on me while I was watching one more report about it.
	And then they shared these women.
	They got these clips.
	This was on the regular news.
	I think it was on CBS News.
	Or ABC, one of the two.
	But they have these clips of these women.
	And underneath each one of them, I hate Donald Trump for saying this.
	My husband died in World War II. And then underneath it says, Gold Star Family.
	This is a rerun of the Gold Star Family fiasco from 2016.
	where Trump said something disparaging about this guy who came up in the Democrat convention with his wife in a hijab and she's all covered up and he's going on and on, bitching and moaning.
	And so the Democrats are back to the old playbook.
	They're just using the same old playbook.
	So the thing that I thought was pretty funny is, who was it from Fox News?
	What was her name?
	I think her name was Grinnell.
	Not Grinnell.
	I got Grinnell's on the brain.
	Some woman named Grinnell.
	I don't know.
	She's some...
	Doesn't matter.
	I've never seen her before on Fox, and she's like the new breed that's there.
	They really don't like Trump.
	They're brought by James Murdoch.
	But what she said, because I was listening for kind of a whipsaw, is she said, I can confirm that they confirmed this to me.
	It's like, okay.
	So...
	All right, what I can confirm is, having seen the weather reports from the chief pilot, that, yeah, that was no weather to go flying the President around in any type of helicopter.
	A thousand-foot ceiling is doable, but if it can go back down to 500 and you're flying over, it depends on the terrain.
	Also, it wasn't clear if it was AGL or not.
	I presume it was, so above ground level.
	But, no.
	Having made decisions, I would say no weather's off, Mr.
	President.
	No problem.
	For that part, not a problem.
	I don't think anyone buys this.
	But Trump is taking it very, or seems to be taking it very personally, because I believe he can garner even more support for this stupid idea from the Democratic Party.
	It's stupid!
	As you say, they've done this before.
	It doesn't work very well.
	Well, I'm sure a few people get taken in by this stuff, but they weren't really leaning toward Trump to begin with.
	But it is a replay, and everything they've done, except for the riots, which I don't know how they think that's going to get them votes, By condoning the riots and lying about the riots, being peaceful, and the rest of it.
	I think these guys are just making every imaginable mistake on top of Biden being like an idiot.
	No, there's another mistake.
	They are highlighting Kanye, and they're trying to do it, and by connecting it to Trump campaign or President Trump, he's on 10 states now.
	I get so many texts, hey, are you voting for Biden?
	Everyone's sold the numbers now.
	So besides your 30330 or your Trump, which is, what is it, 8822...
	I can't remember what the numbers are.
	So those are the numbers that you used to sign up, and I've signed up to both.
	But now I'm getting, hey, it's Claire McCaskill.
	Oh, thanks, Claire.
	Hey, it's Tim Scott.
	Oh, they're texting me personally.
	It's so great.
	And then you get, hey, it's Brad.
	Brad from Houston.
	Are you voting?
	Are you registering?
	Are you voting for Joe?
	I'm like, no, and I'm voting for Kanye.
	Because I like to text back to these people.
	Well, okay.
	Hey, FYI, he's not on the ballot.
	And I reply, I'm writing him in.
	Oh, okay.
	Have a great weekend.
	I waste these people.
	They're idiots.
	They don't even try.
	Maybe they get paid per message.
	I don't know.
	But what's happening is it's absorbing energy.
	He's kind of in between Trump.
	And it's distracting.
	It's almost as bad as in 2016, all the attention they gave to Trump made Trump president.
	So here's Kanye's bit.
	Why is it not playing here?
	Here we go.
	Despite his predictions, Kanye West is not going to be the next president.
	So far, the rap superstar has only made the ballot in 11 states, missing so many others he can't mathematically win.
	Ah!
	Yet across the country, GOP operatives and lawyers are bolstering West presidential bid.
	Betting his campaign will skim off support from Joe Biden and boost President Trump's chances of getting reelected.
	Unfortunately, I think it's more of a ploy that the Republicans are kind of using Kanye to, you know, diminish Joe Biden's votes.
	Critics like Quentin James, who works to elect black candidates, say GOP efforts to prop up West are particularly shameless in light of West's diagnosis with bipolar disorder, which is marked by swings between mania and depression.
	West has said he does not take medication for it.
	It's really sad.
	And, you know, we wish Kanye the best of getting his mental health under control.
	But again, this is not what we want to see in politics.
	I'm not running for president.
	I'm walking.
	Still, Republicans are turning up to help West.
	One source tells CNN that GOP operatives believed they had the Trump campaign's blessing to aid West's efforts.
	While West has pulled around 2% with registered voters, any third-party candidate can pose a risk in a tight race.
	Kanye West will not garner enough votes to become president, but he can garner enough votes to determine the outcome.
	Well, of course he can.
	But they really underestimate Kanye.
	I've always said it.
	They're underestimating him.
	He's going to make a difference.
	And he's walking for president.
	Yes, there we go.
	Yeah, he's something of a genius.
	He is.
	I think that he has been subject to a lot of mental...
	It's too easy to say MKUltra, but mental abuse, color, you know, coding, coding of terms, it's just a lot going on in him, and I think that his path through God has given him some clarity, so that comes out, but sometimes just, you know, crazy shit fires in his brain, and he's still like, you know.
	Well, he's bipolar, that's probably genuine.
	Oh, I don't doubt it at all, but, you know.
	People that are bipolar have these characteristics that are pretty...
	Common amongst most of them.
	It used to be called manic depression and they have a mania which usually makes them extremely successful.
	But the depression part is the problem because it goes long and deep and lasts for a while.
	And it's very hard to control.
	Control it with drugs but it takes away a lot of the creativity.
	There was one of our A lot of producers, I think, sent me a note or some research that showed that it's possible that people with bipolar disease can be extremely effective leaders.
	I hope I have it in the show notes.
	I'll see if I can find that.
	Well, that's because when they have the up, the energy is extremely charismatic.
	Yeah.
	Alright, hey, we should shut this show down.
	You got anything else before we leave?
	Do you have something of imports that we have to throw out to the...
	The girls and boys, the ladies and the gentlemen.
	Extinction Rebellion is back to work.
	Oil is over, if you didn't know.
	I mean, something really nice to get out.
	I've got some Canadians bitching, but that's common.
	That's all they do.
	So that's no good.
	No, I'm good.
	No, I guess that...
	Well, okay.
	Maybe I have...
	We should do the Amazon cell phones in the tree.
	Does that sound compelling to you?
	I'll listen.
	Okay, Amazon sell phones in a tree.
	It's a hack of the gig economy.
	Delivery drivers are basically staking out these routes by trying to get as close to Whole Foods as possible, and the phones are what Amazon system looks for when it assigns routes.
	If it has a route that has to be done immediately, It is looking for drivers that are close by.
	So these drivers are combining both a phone in the tree to have the closest proximity to Amazon along with some sort of software running on the device to snag the route as soon as it becomes available.
	So, the hack that they've figured out...
	I love it!
	...Amazon owns Whole Foods is they have, you know, some auto, some app, and I guess it's all Android phones, looks like it.
	So they figured that there must be some software in circulation, because now this picture of these trees, like 20 cell phones dangling in it with rubber bands and stuff, and they're all there, just the minute an order comes to deliver from Whole Foods to someone, boop, they're right in the vicinity.
	This, my friend, is Murica.
	That's how we roll here.
	Nice.
	That's a good clip.
	It's uplifting, isn't it?
	I feel good about it.
	End of show mixes from Nostradamus and Jesse Coy Nelson.
	And right after this show, we have Grumpy Old Benz on NoAgendaStream.com.
	Make sure you listen for that.
	And we will gladly see you again on Thursday.
	And who knows what the world will bring us in the meantime.
	Remember, Joe Rogan should be coming out tomorrow or Tuesday.
	And along with that, you'll find out more about Podcasting 2.0 as well.
	Podcastindex.org.
	Ha!
	Coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas, 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.
	We return on Thursday.
	Remember us at dvorak.org.
	Until then, adios, mofos, and such.
	Dr. Anthony Fauci challenges Dr. Scott Magnus.
	Dr. Fauci, do protests increase the spread of the virus?
	Crowding together, particularly when you're not wearing a mask, contributes to the spread of the virus.
	Should we limit the protesting?
	I don't think that's relevant to...
	Well, you just said if it increases the spread of the virus, I'm just asking, should we limit it?
	Well, I'm not in a position to determine what the government can do in a forceful way.
	Well, you make all kinds of recommendations.
	You make comments on dating, on baseball, on everything you can imagine.
	I'm just asking, you just said that protests increased the spread.
	I'm just asking, should we try to limit the protests?
	No, I think I would leave that to people who have more of a position to do that.
	I can tell you...
	Government stopping people from going to church, Dr.
	Fauci?
	Yeah.
	I just need to keep my mouth shut for a little while.
	I think it'll get better.
	I have a doctor!
	Have a seat!
	Will you fill out these forms?
	Tens of thousands of people protesting in the streets, arm-in-arm, sharing megaphones...
	That protesting situation spread the infection.
	People are afraid.
	And public policy and policy moves by leaders must take into account the facts as well as the public's perception, because the public fear is the contagion here, and the public fear is what's distorting the thinking and creating irrational decisions by people, including By your own public school officials.
	Dr.
	Atlas, as always, I am grateful for your time.
	I am a doctor!
	A very violent reality of the present in which policing is a kind of public health crisis.
	Policing is a public health crisis.
	The system that we currently have needs police.
	But no, it doesn't need police if you can imagine a world without police.
	I can picture in my mind a system where we have a specialized sort of mental health unit.
	You have no idea what you're talking about.
	Everything should be done by a mental health or social worker.
	We need no police.
	The only thing is a public health crisis.
	Up to 80% of police calls are responding to mental health crises, drug overdose, suicide, and domestic disputes.
	She really glosses over domestic disputes quickly.
	Domestic disputes are very destructive.
	One of the worst problems and one of the most volatile, dangerous situations you as a police officer can come in contact with.
	For her to gloss over that shows her dipshittedness.
	She never mentions robbery, thievery, burglary, muggings.
	Policing is a public health crisis.
	No, you don't see that because you're not pointing to any studies or any actual evidence.
	Policing is a public health crisis.
	Jeez. Jeez.
	I'm doing the work.
	The work.
	Best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
