Will you censor conservative voices?
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, October 29th, 2020.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation media assassination episode 1290.
This is no agenda.
Practicing our BGYs and 3Fs and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we all know that we're all doomed, I'm Jossie Dvorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
So you're now part of the EU in California?
Are they doomed?
Oh my god.
France, Germany, the Netherlands, all shutting down.
Christina texted me.
She said, people are freaking out here.
They don't even have symptoms or anything.
A little sniffle.
Sniffle.
Yeah, no symptoms.
Sniffle's the key.
I hope people realize that COVID... Is the coronavirus is the common cold.
Yeah.
The common cold is the coronavirus.
There's never been a vaccine for it.
There never will be.
And it's possible.
I was listening to something the other day with just a minor clip.
They're going, well, you know, it's crazy because, you know, the symptoms of each person is so different and most are asymptomatic.
I'm starting to think, wait a minute, most are asymptomatic.
Because of what you've been discussing mostly over the last couple of shows, is it possible that this test is just bad and they're asymptomatic because they don't have it, although they tested positive?
Is it just that simple?
I have a spec sheet of the new Abbott rapid test.
It says right there in the spec sheet, cannot make a distinction between coronavirus SARS-1 or 2.
Well...
So that means it'll pick up a cold.
It might.
It doesn't say that, though, specifically.
Not specifically, but...
Well, we have a couple of clips later on that talk about it actually not being very reliable from government officials who are deploying them.
But...
I finally found the smoking gun.
I found the smoking gun!
Sorry, the way you said but, I just imagine you sticking a finger in the air.
In fact, and I looked over my glasses when I said it, but...
Listen to this.
Because, yes, every show I think, well, that's it.
I can't say any more about the polymer chain reaction, PCR, also mislabeled as the test.
But, yes, I can.
It's crazy because people are catching on.
News media is catching on very, very sparsely, of course.
Local stations.
Well, not until after the election.
Well, of course.
But, well, actually, let's listen to...
I'll set it up this way, keeping suspense a little bit longer.
This is WRAL in North Carolina, and they are calling...
This latest surge incorrect because they say, hey, there's a lot of false positives with the PCR, also known as the test.
So this is rather long, but it's very, very complete in their reporting WRAL in North Carolina.
North Carolinians have taken more than 3 million COVID-19 tests during the pandemic.
Almost all, 97% of the positives came through a molecular test called a polymer chain reaction, or PCR. And while the test is highly regarded as accurate when it comes to positive or negative, some in the scientific world say it provides an incomplete picture.
We have found RNA shedding in evidence for 78 days.
Dr.
Carl Hennigan with University of Oxford argues the black and white nature of the test is leading to an inflated number of cases.
When you're picking up asymptomatic people, you have no idea if they have active infection Or did they have it two months ago?
Labs test for coronavirus by cycling samples to amplify the virus.
Each cycle increases the virus in the sample.
At the North Carolina State Lab, they'll cycle a sample up to 37 times before deciding whether it's positive or negative.
At LabCorp, the main private tester in our state, the cycle threshold is even higher at 38.
And the more times you do that, the less virus you start out with.
WRAL Investigates went through the specs of dozens of PCR tests.
The cycle thresholds range from as low as 35 to as high as 40, depending on the maker.
The higher that threshold goes, then the dimmer, if you will, the signal is, or translated to virus, the lower amount of virus is present.
Dr.
Thomas Denny heads up Duke University's COVID testing program.
He says the higher thresholds of tests do raise questions.
That would be a very low signal, low level signal.
The testing labs simply report positive or negative to the state.
These tests were not designed specifically to identify...
How much virus is there, but just whether it's there or not.
That's state lab director Dr.
Scott Schoen, who doesn't buy the cycle threshold debate.
Trying to add additional layers of analysis onto a test that wasn't designed for that purpose can be dangerous.
I wasn't Denny thinks healthcare providers use the cycle threshold results as just one diagnostic tool, along with the patient's condition and known context.
I happen to think knowing that is useful information, especially in the early days of a disease that we are right now.
As we learn more about the virus, Denny believes it's better to have testing that's too sensitive.
However, Hennigan argues, cycle thresholds in the high 30s lead to inflated case numbers, unnecessary quarantines, and economic impacts.
You can put in a threshold level.
Which says you are infectious, which is about a million copies per mil in a sample, which is a cycle threshold of about 25.
So there you have a report with numerous professors.
You heard all the universities they represent.
And at the end there, the professor even says, really, 25 cycles you should know if someone has actual virus that you can detect.
And we know that most of these tests, the assays that go out, are more like 40 and 45.
And for sure, if you set it at 45...
45 cycles.
And a number of PCR specialists have sent screenshots to me.
Yes, if it starts to rise at 26, then you don't need to even go to 45.
You know that you have someone who clearly has enough virus in their system.
But it's the threshold that we keep talking about, and generally accepted anything above 35 will result in too many false positives to actually function as a test from which results are being derived and translated into lockdowns, which is happening now in Europe, and we'll get to the low death rate in a minute.
So how can I convince everybody?
I'm shaking my hand again, John.
How can I convince everybody that this is true, that this 35 cycle level should be the limit?
If only, if only I had someone that everybody trusted.
Like Anthony Fauci.
And oh the irony that he appeared in July on This Week in Virology on the network by Mr.
Mask himself.
Listen to Tony Fauci.
This Week in Virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
There have been a number of reports of patients who shed viral RNA for weeks as determined by PCR. It doesn't seem to be infectious virus.
And the real question is, are they a threat for transmission?
And I'm wondering if you think we could use a cutoff of viral loads determined by PCR to say this patient is no longer infectious, can go home, can go to a nursing facility.
Because right now the physicians are really having a hard time with that.
Right.
Again, a good question.
And what is now sort of evolving into a bit of a standard that if you get a cycle threshold of 35 or more, that the chances of it being replication competent are minuscule.
So that as somebody, and you know, we do, we have patients, and it's very frustrating for the patients as well as for the physicians.
Somebody comes in and And they repeat their PCR and it's like 37 cycle threshold.
But you almost never can culture virus from a 37 threshold cycle.
So I think if somebody does come in with 37, 38, even 36, you got to say, you know, it's just dead nucleotides, period.
Period.
Did you hear that, John?
He's the man.
He said, above 35 is just bad nucleotides.
Minuscule is the word he used.
Minuscule.
Minuscule.
And it's even more interesting that when you receive the results of your test, they don't actually tell you how many cycles it was spun up to.
So is the threshold cycle, is reporting that a pretty standard practice in doing a diagnosis now rather than just positive or negative?
Okay, good.
I mean, when you go in, when I get my test, you know, it's negative.
When someone comes in and it's positive, they don't give them the threshold until you go back and ask for it.
Okay.
But they've got it.
They've got it.
They've got it.
You see, so they don't even give you the cycle count on the results of your PCR processing.
This is truly evil.
And, you know, Fauci probably won't admit to it anymore, but there we have him on tape saying above 35, minuscules, crazy to even have that, yet the tests are arriving at up to 45 cycles.
Yeah, that means you're always going to get something.
If you spin it up that far, absolutely.
And this is the result.
President Emmanuel Macron said France needed a lockdown to act as a brutal break on COVID. Starting Friday until December, no one in France can leave home without a good reason.
Those schools and factories will stay open, but non-essential businesses will have to close.
France's hospitals are feeling the strain, with more than half of all intensive care beds already full.
In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced what she called burdensome measures, too.
Restaurants will have to close, so will bars and movie theaters.
These are radical moves in a country where masks and widespread testing had, until now, kept the infection rates low.
This is great.
This is actually quite funny.
I'm sure even the Chinese who figured this was going to upset things a little bit are shaking their heads.
Wow, these people are idiots.
Laughing their asses off.
No kidding.
By the way, since you're giving these reports, I know you're on top of this.
What you're getting is from the media, of course, and I'm sure the media is covering it like crazy.
Oh, yeah.
So what's the equivalent of what they're doing in Sweden?
The equivalent of what they're doing in Sweden?
Are they locking Sweden down?
No, no, no, they're not locking Sweden down.
What?
No, no, no.
But they're risking the lives of all the people in Sweden like this?
What's interesting...
How dare you?
What's interesting, if you look at the data, and we have a number of states, and even we have, what is it, El Paso.
Oh, no, we've got a curfew in El Paso, lock everybody down.
And you look at the numbers...
And you see the spike in positive cases, i.e.
people who have shown up to have a minuscule viral load up to 45 counts, is really 20-year-olds.
Because they're out having a good time, they're spreading this virus, but the deaths, which are going up, but not very much, we're talking maybe 10 more, they're in the 75- to 80-year-old range.
So they present it as, oh my god, positive cases going up, more people dying, but it's really not related, those two.
It's a good one.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, so let's look at some of the actual numbers from the CDC. Here's CDC who revealed their hospital count.
And how they counted, it's rather disturbing.
It's a real report, but you won't hear it replicated in many places.
The Centers for Disease Control have updated their death counts for coronavirus and reveal yet again that COVID-19 is rarely the actual cause of death among coronavirus patients.
According to the CDC themselves, of the 220,000 deaths attributed to the coronavirus, 87,000 of them died from pneumonia and influenza.
Another 17,000 died from chronic respiratory diseases and 26,000 died from respiratory distress syndrome.
44,000 patients died from hypertensive diseases.
23,000 died from heart disease and a whopping 28,000 died from cardiac arrest and We're good to go.
Including cancer, dementia, and even end-stage renal failure.
And according to the CDC, again, if you look at place of death, you'll see that some 10,000 patients who died from COVID were on hospice care, meaning they were terminally ill to begin with and were already expected to die.
But CNN will continue to keep those numbers up every single day.
Oh yeah, 230,000 Americans.
A quarter of...
That's what's going to be next.
Almost a quarter of a million!
Mark my words.
That's how they're going to present it next.
So, I don't understand how the World Health Organization can say that 98% of influenza did not show up this year, yet they've marked all these people as dead from influenza?
And here comes my favorite.
Well, what about the excess death rate?
What about the excess death rate?
You can't ignore the excess death rate, can you?
Well, that depends.
You're getting there.
You almost hit common book, guys.
Pretty good, pretty good.
Pretty good.
Here's CNBC's Squawk Box.
Doctor, you know, we're talking about some of the better results recently, but the CDC also coming out with a study saying that there were 299, about 300,000 excessive deaths, excess deaths.
Thus far in 2020 in particular, and this to me was the surprising part about it, it said that it struck 25 to 44 year olds very hard.
Their excessive death rate was up 26.5%.
So how do you square both of these numbers we're seeing?
Yeah, we have to break down those CDC numbers a little bit.
So two-thirds of those excess deaths were from COVID-19.
The other one-third were from other causes.
And I would suspect that a good portion of the deaths in that younger cohort were deaths due to despair, due to other reasons.
We've seen a spike in overdoses.
And I would suspect that a good portion of those excess deaths in that younger cohort were from drug overdoses and other deaths that were triggered by some of the implications of what we've gone through to try to deal with COVID-19.
So only two-thirds of those excess deaths were actually directly related to virus.
viral infection.
The other third were related to other factors, probably indirectly related to the pandemic.
Yeah.
Overdoses, suicides.
So the real impact, actually, of...
People having COVID is much smaller than it's being presented.
Doesn't matter.
You'll never read that.
Hello, future.
Hello, future children.
50 years ahead of me when you hear this on some scrungy old iPod that you dug up out of your grandpa's attic.
We knew it was fake.
We knew it.
No one listened.
That's my message to the future.
I'll make sure all the kids know.
Um...
New Zealand is great.
It's a great time to be alive in New Zealand.
Of course, we know the Prime Minister was re-elected, and she's ready to build back better.
And part of that comes with tracking you like a dog, putting a tag on you like a whale, like a big humpback whale traveling across New Zealand tracking you.
Grab a card, slip it on.
the new tool to track and trace COVID-19 could be that simple.
There was a debate about whether a lot of people would do that.
Bluetooth contact tracing cards are being trialled in the Nongotaha community.
We've got the COVID Tracer app, but we know that we can use different technologies in different ways.
Sorry?
Nothing, I was just mumbling.
I was just mumbling what the gay said.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I used to potentially look after different parts of the community.
It's hoped 1,500 people will participate.
They'll wear the card for a week and provide feedback.
I think that we have an opportunity to assist in providing a process that's going to have benefits for the whole of the country.
It works by exchanging a signal with anyone also wearing a card within a few meters, described as a digital handshake, building a record of close contacts.
The technology doesn't track your location.
The information is stored on the card.
If you live or work in Nongotaha and are over 19 years of age, you can take part in the trial.
The cards were designed by Te Arawa, the Health Ministry and the Universities of Wakatau and Otago, and could be vital for vulnerable communities.
The number of people my age group, our kui and kaumatua for instance, who don't have a cell phone, who don't have access to data, It's too early for a national rollout, but one expert sees the benefits.
If by chance you become a case, then it can automatically contact all of your close contacts that you've had over a period of time.
So you don't actually have to do anything.
You don't even have to know who they are or exactly where you had close contact with them.
That's the beauty of it.
The cards will go live early next month.
It literally is a tag.
It's a card.
It's a tag you carry on your arm, which can later be moved to your toe.
When you're in the morgue.
Yeah, well, that's convenient.
Think of the money it saves.
You take the tag, you put it on the toilet, you don't have to write anything up.
It saves a lot of time.
It does.
It's already identified.
Now, just in case you're an unfortunate case...
Then you will go to the quarantine centre.
You will not stay at home.
If you're a child, you'll be taken away from your family and put into the quarantine centre.
Here's a New Zealand chief medical official describing this.
As part of our overall national response to this new outbreak, I am now directing Medical Officers of Health that all cases, confirmed cases, are to be managed in a quarantine facility.
Now, this is different to how positive cases were managed when we were last at levels 4 and indeed 3, and shows how serious we are about limiting any risk of ongoing transmission, even in self-isolation and including to others in the household.
This will apply to any cases and also close family members who might be at risk, as appropriate.
A reminder, these facilities have been set up specifically and have excellent processes and resources in place to look after people with COVID-19, including health staff on site at all times, and it will help us avoid any further inadvertent spread into the community as part of our overall response.
So, off you go.
Off to the camp.
Don't worry.
It's going to be great.
Have a shower.
And just in case you don't want to take a test, or you're in the facility and you're kind of a troublemaker, and you're like, hey, get away from me, man.
I don't want a test.
Well, here is the Prime Minister herself explaining that you probably will want to take a test.
If someone refuses in our facilities to be tested, they have to keep staying.
So they won't be able to leave after 14 days.
They have to stay on for another 14 days.
So it's a pretty good incentive.
You either get your tests done and make sure you're cleared, or we will keep you in a facility longer.
So I think most people will look at that and say, I'll take it.
I've got a number of questions about people, you know, what do we do if someone refuses to be tested?
Well, they can't now.
If someone refuses in our facilities to be tested, they have to keep staying.
So they won't be able to leave after 14 days.
They have to stay on for another 14 days.
So it's a pretty good incentive.
You either get your tests done and make sure you're cleared, or we will keep you in a facility longer.
So I think most people will look at that and say, I'll take the test.
Freedom!
Subjugation is liberation.
Contradiction is truth.
Those are the facts of this world.
And you will all surrender to them.
You pigs in human clothing!
You will be incentivized to take your chists.
You'll take your chists.
You'll take your chists.
Now, is this what they're talking about when they say Trump mismanaged the COVID, that he's not doing stuff like this?
Absolutely.
White would do, or maybe Hillary would be doing this now if she was president.
We'd be locked down, we'd go like Europe, same thing?
Is that what they're talking about when they're bitching and moaning?
If Hillary was president, you and I would be in the lockup.
We'd be in there right now.
We'd be teasted for something different.
Teasted.
But you have to see that video.
It's in the show notes.
Of her face.
It's on a Zoom call.
And she looks like an alien.
She's frightening.
The woman, when she's teased, you will take a test.
It's an incentive to take a test.
Wow.
She's frightening to me.
She's a horrible person.
Well, so is Gavin Newsom.
We've heard of the restrictions for the holiday season, but enjoy it out there in California, John, and your neighbors will be watching you!
First of all, no more than three households, including your own, can gather.
That's the big thing.
Three households, and that's the limit.
The host of the gathering has to collect basically the names and contact information of everybody who's there in case that tracing needs to happen if somebody were to get sick.
All gatherings have to be held outside regardless.
Now, you can go inside to use a bathroom as long as that bathroom is frequently sanitized.
You can, like parks, open-air parks, you can gather there, but again, they're sticking with that three-household rule.
So you can't have other households join you there just because it's a wide-open space.
It's got to be the three households.
All seating, socially distanced, specifically six feet in every single direction.
If you're going to serve food, all food has to be served in single-served disposable dishes.
You've got to wear a mask at all times unless you're eating.
We're all used to that by now.
You can only gather for a maximum of two hours.
That's one of the other restrictions.
Singing is discouraged, but if you must sing, you must wear a mask and sing below a standard speaking voice.
And that specific guideline has really got a lot of people talking.
I've entered...
Yes, below.
You will obey.
You will obey.
That's where you live.
Nobody's going along with this.
They will have drones flying over to check and make sure that you're complying.
If not, the drone will just hover and shoot an electric beam at you.
Well, they're hoping for that, but that hasn't come yet.
Really.
To me, it's so obvious.
Of course, we're less than a week before the election, so nothing better than to keep people from...
I mean, this is true election interference, because you're telling people, stay home.
It's too late to get a mail-in ballot.
Oh, yeah.
You're going to die.
So there's that that is not discussed.
That's an interesting angle, because it's well known that most of the mail-in balloting has been done by Democrats, and the Republicans all expect to go to the polls.
Yeah.
So keep them home.
This is a great cutoff point.
All voting must stop today!
This is the setup to Build Back Better.
Joe Biden is now sending out Build Back Better pamphlets.
Pamphlets.
Which is not saying how he's going to do anything, but it's all...
According to the mainstream, they say, oh, he's got plans.
He's got plans.
Yeah, he's got plans.
I don't want to go off track here, but I do have two Joe Biden gaffes that we can play.
Sure, let's spark it up a little bit.
Sure, let's do it.
Well, let's go with the Biden...
Now, this one I don't have the date on.
This may be one we missed, but this is the Biden-Kamala running mate gaffe.
My name is Joe Biden.
I'm Joe Biden's husband.
And I am Kamala's running mate.
You all think I'm kidding, don't you?
Yeah, I'm so happy.
This was in Michigan.
It was actually a Kamala.
It was so weird.
It was a Biden-Kamala Harris event.
But her name was underneath at the height of Joe's head.
So he's standing there in front of a sign that literally says only Kamala.
And then he says this.
And most people missed it because you left the last part on, which is this part, which is important, is the...
My name is Joe Biden.
You all think I'm kidding, don't you?
The guy is so toast, he doesn't even know he's giving it away.
It's not a gaffe.
He's telling the truth.
That's what he said.
Actually, since we're doing this, I have a clip from Michigan with Kamala.
Kamala.
So you heard Joe.
You heard Joe.
He clearly said, I'm Jill's husband, and I'm Kamala's running mate.
You think I'm joking?
No, we understand what you're saying, Joe.
Here's Kamala Harris.
In Michigan, I think she's wasted.
Hey, Pontiac, how y'all doing?
Hey!
Oh, it's good to be back in Michigan.
Carolyn, thank you so much for that introduction.
It's good to be in the House of Labor.
Okay, so we are nine days away from the end of this election.
Nine days.
And every single one of these days leading up...
To November 3rd, Tuesday, November 3rd, is going to determine the outcome of this election.
And you, in Michigan, are going to determine who will be the next President of the United States.
And Vice President of the United States.
Oh, she just added that for a moment.
You all are going to make a difference.
So, it's so good to be back.
But here's the thing.
So, in 2016, okay?
Now, I know we all still got PTSD about what that was all about, right?
Call it, John.
Drunk or not drunk.
No, she's drunk.
Seriously, I mean, we're usually joking about this, but she sounds drunk there.
She sounds drunk, and I think if you think about it, if you just think about it just objectively, this is a strain on her, and she's probably drinking a lot, and I'll bet you she is a mean drunk.
She seems like a mean drunk.
I mean, I don't have her as drunk, but I have her in Arizona.
This is the way she starts off.
Same thing, same corny thing, small audience.
Kamala in Arizona.
Play this.
What's up, Tucson?
Hey, everybody.
Can we please hear from Mayor Romero?
What an incredible leader.
She's just...
Oh, wow.
Do you hear she switches to code?
Romero!
And she can't even get out of it after that.
Listen.
Romero!
What an incredible leader.
She's talking like Hispanic now.
She's a sign of strength and passion, and she represents who we are as a nation.
Romero, thank you for everything you are and everything you do.
Conquistador!
Conquistador!
It's so good to be back in Arizona!
It's so good to be back in Arizona!
I got one more camera when you brought her into it.
Her drinking may account for...
Make America drunk again.
Mara.
Madda.
Madda, madda, madda.
There we go.
Madda, madda, madda, madda.
Her laughing hyena act, which she exhibited on 60 Minutes, and I don't think it pleased...
Anybody.
The hyenas.
It doesn't please too many people listening to her, because she makes you look like you're an idiot.
This is laughing Kamala on 60 Minutes.
They're very different in the policies that you've supported in the past.
You're considered the most liberal United States senator.
Somebody said that, and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage.
Well, actually, the nonpartisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator.
You supported the Green New Deal.
You supported Medicare for All.
You've supported legalizing marijuana.
Joe Biden doesn't support those things.
So are you going to bring the policies, those progressive policies that you supported as Senator, into a Biden administration?
What I will do, and I promise you this, and this is what Joe wants me to do, this was part of our deal.
I will always share with him my lived experience as it relates to any issue.
And is that a socialist or progressive perspective?
No.
No, it is the perspective of a woman who grew up a black child in America, who was also a prosecutor, who also has a mother who arrived here at the age of 19 from India, who also, you know, likes hip hop.
What do you want to know?
I want to give you the opportunity to address this, because at the Republican National Convention, President Trump made the case that Joe Biden is going to be nothing more than a Trojan horse for socialist policies, for the left wing of the Democratic Party.
Are you going to push those policies when you're Vice President of the United States?
I am not going to be confined to Donald Trump's definition of who I or anybody else is.
You know, that's a good clip, and I like it because in there she shows all the things she wants to be that she is not.
And she says, a black child in America, and loves hip-hop.
Bullcrap, you know that she's doing Bollywood belly dancing in front of the mirror.
She's constructed this in her head, and that's why she said, well, I'm not going to let anyone else define me.
Oh, that's a good catch.
Back to Biden.
Back to Biden.
This one is the gap I thought was so funny.
Yeah.
I heard it on all the right-wingers that got it.
So I'm going online to get it.
And I said, where the hell is this?
I had literally trouble finding this clip.
I did find it eventually.
But it was just like pulling teeth for some reason.
Are you saying that some of these social media Silicon Valley companies may have obfuscated this from view?
I think they did.
Can I give everybody a tip?
Can I give everybody a tip right now?
If you're looking for something, you're having trouble finding it on YouTube, pop right on over to BitChute.
BitChute.com.
That's where the cool kids are backing up their stuff.
B-I-T-C-H-U-T-E. And donate to BitChute.
Keep those guys running.
It's worth it.
Well, you just leech?
You don't support anything, Dvorak?
I support everything I can.
Okay, that's what I thought.
All right, Biden, best gaffe ever.
There's going to be eight days left.
They want me to ask you, and I want to know, like, if someone is undecided or maybe thinking about not voting, why should they vote and why should they vote for you?
Well, first of all, the reason they should vote is that there's a lot on the ballot this year.
I mean, this is the most consequent, not because I'm running.
Because who I'm running against is the most consequential election in a long, long, long time.
And the character of the country, in my view, is literally on the ballot.
What kind of country are we going to be?
Four more years of Georgia.
Georgia, we're going to find ourselves in a position where if Trump gets elected, we're going to be in a different world.
What's unfortunate is what you can't hear is when you look at the video, Jill Biden, it's a Zoom call or video call, Jill Biden is sitting right next to him and she's going, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
She does it twice.
She kind of opens her lips just a little bit and tries to say, Trump, Trump, Trump.
Did you see that on the video?
Yeah.
No, this was one of the most pathetic clips.
I do not understand how anybody can vote for this guy.
I mean, he's, like I said, he's decrepit.
He is decrepit.
It's the best word I could come up with.
And he, this George George thing, was the most pathetic of the gas because it was kind of sad.
Yeah.
Lopez, George Lopez later came and said, well, he was talking about me.
Four more years of George Lopez.
Four more years of George Lopez.
He specifically says four more years of George.
And then he says George again.
And if you watch the video, and if it's still there, go to Bitchute.
You'll see Jill Biden next to him going, where it opens her lips just a little bit.
Speaking of most consequential election ever, this is President Obama in 2008.
This is certainly the most important election in my lifetime.
2012.
I truly believe this is the most important election of our lifetimes.
2016.
This is probably the most important election of our lifetimes.
And 2018.
You get to vote in what I believe will be the most important election of our lifetime.
And this week.
I don't know if politics can always say that, but this time it's really true.
Oh, here we go, 2020.
One week until the most important election of our lifetime.
I guess it's always the most important election of our lifetime.
As long as he's alive.
So, just kind of sticking with, as we transition away from the COVID phony baloney case news, Joe Biden mentioned dark winter.
Dark winter, which a lot of people caught and said, holy crap, man, there really was such a thing called dark winter.
He's not the only one, by the way, who's been talking about the dark winter.
It seems to be perhaps a kind of build back better thing.
Without better planning, 2020 could be the darkest winter in modern history.
Britain is braced for a dark winter as new measures are deployed to stem a surge of coronaviruses.
Stop!
...signs of a low surge and perhaps an even more painful winter as coronavirus cases soar in the U.S.
We're about to go into a dark winter.
A dark winter.
I'll just make it better.
The dark winter.
Do you know who oversaw that exercise?
I don't know, CIA. It was an exercise for smallpox biological attack.
Oh yeah, I remember this.
Yeah.
Donald Rumsfeld.
The recent dark winter exercise conducted at Johns Hopkins University simulated a biological attack in which terrorists released smallpox in three separate locations in the United States.
Within two months, the worst-case estimate indicated that up to one million people could be dead and another two million affected.
Biological weapons must be of major concern.
Let there be no doubt.
Oh, yeah.
I guess the Chinese watched that one.
I just wanted to say one thing for people who are about to be locked up.
As I was watching the peaceful protests in Philadelphia the past two nights, which consist mainly of people looting, you see cops just standing around.
And they say, when queried by the news media, well, what are we going to do?
There's way too many people.
We're understaffed.
It'll be a bloodbath if we try to stop this.
That tells me that if you really don't want to be locked down and tagged like a dog that if you just resist, if you have enough people, that'll be it.
They will not fight you.
Especially all these social workers they're going to bring on.
Yeah, exactly.
They'll have a chat.
They'll have a chat with you.
But I don't think you have to be worried about saying, no, I'm just not interested in participating.
There's no talk of it yet here in Austin, but if talk of Texas really comes, Austin will be one of the first ones to do it again.
I'm not going to take it, personally.
It's not going to happen.
At this point, we're looking at the same up and down epidemic rate as SARS-CoV-1, the SARS virus, the one that came and went.
And this has come and gone.
And everything now is just buffaloing the public until the election day to get Biden in.
And interfere with elections.
In the rest of the world, it's build back better time.
The rest of the world, something else going on is part of the same overall scheme because it's important for the overall scheme.
That the biggest economy in the world be run by a globalist, which would be Biden, Harris.
It doesn't matter.
Any Democrat will do, because they're all pretty much going to do the same thing.
And so you've just got to get Trump out.
But the reason...
Because I've always said, well, the whole, you know, some people are completely into the massive conspiracy that the whole world is against Trump.
Well, they may not like Trump.
They don't want him in this office.
But they're doing their lockdowns for a specific other reason.
It's just a little control practice.
Well, yes.
Except in Sweden, which is the outlier.
And nobody wants to talk about it.
Well, Sweden is also not a member of the European Union.
So this is why it's not an issue for them.
They have their own plans.
But this is the World Economic Forum – That's sweet.
It was a member of the European Union.
It's Norway that's not.
Oh, am I wrong about that?
Yes.
Let me see.
I could be wrong.
No, you could be wrong.
You're not a member of the Eurozone.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
You're right.
Well, money is more important than passports.
But this is being orchestrated by the douchebags from Davos, the World Economic Forum.
And they released a video.
And, you know, they have the Great Reset.
They got podcasts.
Isn't that what we've been calling the douchebags from Davos?
Yeah, the douchebags from Davos, yeah.
The Party of Davos, the douchebags from Davos.
And this is the people who are doing the Great Reset.
And it's captains of industry.
It's, you know, it's the Prince Charles of the world.
It's the same people.
The douchebags.
The douchebags.
Now, they put out a video, which is just titles over, you know, typical stock music.
But I would like to read along while the music plays, and I can read this to you for people who have not heard.
And it's titled, Eight Predictions for the World in 2030.
And 2030, as you know, we called a very long time ago as a critical year.
That will be a tipping point because...
Yes, and you've harped on it, I might add.
Yeah, I think I... Just to make sure that we get this.
I think I still have 2030.club.org or something like that.
You have a lot of, yes.
All right, so I'm going to read this as it plays along.
It's taking forever to get there, too.
I just...
I don't think the show will make it, but you never know.
Eight predictions for the world in 2030.
Here we go.
I'm reading along with this groovy little thing.
Let's see.
You'll own nothing, and you'll be happy.
What?
Whatever you want, you'll rent, and it'll be delivered by drone.
I'm seeing an Amazon drone.
The U.S. won't be the world's leading superpower.
Stop, stop, stop.
Stop, stopping.
Are you sure you're not reading from the Babylon Bee?
It's interesting you say that.
When I showed it to Tina, she said, is that the Babylon Bee?
I said, no, it's the World Economic Forum.
It's on their website, wf.ch.
And when you see this kid, it's like a young guy, I'd say, probably in his early 20s.
He's smiling, and it says, you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy.
I'll try and narrate what you're seeing at the same time, okay?
Yeah.
So then we see a drone.
Whatever you want, you'll rent.
And it'll be delivered by drone.
Next shot here is City Street.
The U.S. won't be the world's leading superpower.
It's a picture of Manhattan.
A handful of countries will dominate, and I'm stopping this video right here, and they show some flags flying, and they show in the foreground the Chinese flag, then the American flag, then I think the Portuguese flag, but the Chinese flag is in the middle of all these other flags.
Next shot here.
Ah, you won't die waiting for an organ donor.
We won't transplant organs.
We'll print new ones instead.
And you see a phony baloney 3D printer printing up a heart.
Okay, that's really good.
You'll eat much less meat.
An occasional treat, not a staple, for the good of the environment and our health.
A billion people will be displaced by climate change.
We'll have to do a better job at welcoming and integrating refugees.
Polluters will have to pay to emit carbon dioxide.
By the way, that's every single human being on the planet.
If you exhale, you are therefore, by definition, a polluter, and you will have to pay.
I think there will be a tax on speech, a carbon tax, or just speech that is considered...
The more you talk, the podcasters will be out of business.
Bankrupt, bankrupt, bankrupt we're going, exactly.
Okay, there will be a global price on carbon, and this will help make fossil fuels history.
You could be preparing to go to Mars.
Scientists will have worked out how to keep you healthy in space.
The start of a journey to find alien life?
Western values will have been tested to the breaking point, and you see a McDonald's logo.
Checks and balances that underpin our democracies...
Wait, hold on a second.
Give me that.
What was the one with the McDonald's logo?
What was the comment?
Yeah.
So, you see, like, a busy street.
Actually, it's 47th Street in New York, 6th Avenue.
I see a sign that says Diamond City.
Very busy on the street, and there's a big McDonald's sign in the right-hand corner.
And what was the comment?
The comment is, Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.
What are they implying?
I don't know.
But it's clearly America bad.
Because it's Sixth Avenue, Diamond City.
Maybe it's our need for junk food and shiny things that we think are worth a lot.
Oh, yeah, because the Chinese don't like shiny things.
No, not at all.
All right, and we move on to the next one.
Yes, checks and balances that underpin our democracies must not be forgotten.
I've got to think about that one for a second.
Checks and balances that underpin our democracies must not be forgotten.
Let's see what the next slide is.
I don't know.
Oh, here it comes.
No, it just says like, comment, share.
That's it.
So that's your future.
That's the future.
You've got to send me that link.
I'm actually...
It's not...
It's outrageous, like that memo, the liberal memo, which I have a couple of clips about, that's supposedly floating around Canada.
You mean the one that I read on the show that you said was QAnon?
No, I said it was bullshit.
I think you also mentioned QAnon.
Well, it was very QAnon-ish.
Yeah, of course it's QAnon-ish.
I do want to play that because I'm still amused by that memo.
But this is ridiculous.
I mean, does the public at large...
Ever look at something like this and say, hey, wait, these people are not working in our best interest.
No.
I can't own property anymore?
No, the public at large went, this is bullshit.
That's exactly what you said about it.
Well, it is bullshit.
There's no doubt about it.
But the fact that they would even do this and then be respected, I mean, does anyone think Warren Buffett or Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos would...
Would not own anything anymore?
Or did Rothschilds stop ownership of all things we'd all be sharing and renting?
Well, in case you hadn't noticed, that's pretty much where life is today for most people.
They can't afford, they can't save up enough for down payment for purchasing a home, so is rent.
They rent their scooters, their bicycles, your iPhones are rented.
No one's actually paying $1,000 or $1,200.
Okay, well, you can stop there.
Right.
This is the people that lease cars when they don't really don't need to.
They don't have a company.
There's no reason to lease a car.
This is, there was a video.
I wish I, maybe I did clip it when it came out, but it was one of these life hacks things.
It was a whole video on why you should rent and never buy anything.
And it was kind of convincing, unless you had any sense.
Unless you had a brain.
Yeah.
And it was this guy.
He went on and on and on.
Oh, no, you should know.
No, it's dumb.
If you buy, you're stuck.
You have to rent.
You should rent.
And you have freedom.
Oh.
And it was just like discouraging people from buying.
You know, the reason, especially this country, has always decided, when you look at the deep sociology of it, you want a high land ownership ratio in the general public because they're the people that support the government.
Yep.
They're the people, you own stuff, you don't, you know, the big guys, they're super rich, the millionaires, billionaires, they're in a different league for protecting their wealth.
They want one world government and a lockdown in a Nazi system.
And shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave.
But just the general public that has a lot of land ownership and they're invested, they have small businesses, which they've been trying to shut down with COVID, especially the black small businesses.
They don't want blacks owning businesses, that's for sure.
Bad, bad idea.
Can't have that.
You get blacks owning property and businesses.
They might cop an attitude.
They're going to vote Republicans.
Yeah, that's not good.
No, you can't have this.
So this is nonsense.
But the fact that these documents exist and these people really want to force this kind of thing on people, it's humiliating.
Let me go jump to the memes.
Now, here is the liberal memo that you talked about, which has just cracked me up because I poo-pooed it a little too early, I think, because it was outrageous.
So I missed some of the better parts of it.
Oh, you tuned out while I was reading it.
I tuned out while I was reading it, too.
You were like, oh, whatever.
But then I heard this guy reading it, and he's all, you know, oh, I can't even tell you who sent it to me because I don't want to bust her.
And I'm thinking, okay, whatever.
This is the liberal memo redux clip.
This is the end of the memo.
Oh, the end of the memo.
Okay, I was going to say, it's kind of short for the whole memo.
So this is unrestricted living even under a full lockdown through the use of a photo identification referred to as Canada's health pass.
Committee members asked who would become the owner of the forfeited property.
And assets in that scenario and what would happen to lenders or financial institutions, we were simply told the World Debt Reset Program will handle all of the details.
So when they were asked what happens to the property and what happens to the banks, don't worry about it, we're going to take care of it.
That's what they were told.
Several committee members also questioned what would happen to individuals if they refused to participate in the World Debt Reset Program or the health pass or the vaccination schedule.
The answer we got was very troubling.
Essentially, we were told it was our duty to make sure we come up with a plan, meaning the Liberal Party was told that it was their duty to come up with a plan to ensure that would never happen.
We were told it was in the individual's best interest to participate.
When several committee members pushed relentlessly to get an answer, we were told that those who refused would first live under the lockdown restrictions indefinitely, and that over a short period of time, as more Canadians transitioned into the debt forgiveness program, the ones who refused to participate would be deemed the ones who refused to participate would be deemed a public safety risk and would be relocated into isolation facilities.
Once in those facilities, they would be given two options, participate in the debt forgiveness program and be released, or stay indefinitely in the isolation facility under the classification of a serious public health risk and have all your assets seized.
We think that's quite an incentive to have people not want to stay here.
Wouldn't this woman in New Zealand hear about this mammal and say, you know, that's not a bad idea.
I think they got it right.
There are maniacs around the world in some places.
I'd say Victoria's another one.
So I, you know, the guy, he doesn't do, I couldn't play the whole thing, but one of the guys on the Rebel, which is, you know, pretty good, It's hard to clip.
It's hard to clip stuff from the Rebel.
It's hard to clip because their guys are boring and they yak and yak.
And they have long intros.
And long pauses.
I mean, this is Ezra, one of their top guys.
He'll talk like this.
Well, and then...
You know, most of those clips, what I do is I record it.
I play it back in real time.
I'm looking at the waveform.
That's what I do.
And I have an I for in and an O for out.
And so when I see that blank spot coming up, I hit the I, then I hit the O, I hit the X for cut.
And I have to sometimes do it 15, 20 times in a clip just to keep the show moving.
Oh, that's not the way I do it.
I do the same thing I have, and I'm just using the public domain Audacity.
Yeah.
And I look at the waveform, I see the waveform, and you just see the dead areas.
No, you just go and you just cut it out right there manually.
And then if you see something like there's a long applause, I'll take...
And cutting the applause is a little difficult because...
I fade them out.
No, I fade them out.
I do a nice fade.
I don't fade them out.
What I do...
What I do is, I see the long and pause, I take the, where it starts to go to the peak, and I cut it there, and then I go all the way to this, where it's exactly the same height.
And I cut out that huge middle.
And so the clips are very, there's a lot of, I'm impressed myself.
You're probably better at doing this than I am, but I sometimes impress myself.
I am, well, I've been doing this for 40 years, and started with a razor blade and tape, and But I use the Hindenburg Journalist Pro.
If anyone wants to really have a great editing and recording tool, Hindenburg Journalist Pro.
Not cheap, by the way.
Not a cheap program, but you get something good.
You get something good for it.
Well, I believe in public, I believe in the freeware open source.
Yeah, okay.
Here's Ezra cut down as best I could to 46 seconds of him bitching about this whole thing.
Every day I get at least 10 emails about this leaked liberal memo purporting to have the secret plan that Justin Trudeau is going to use.
To enslave us all.
I have received this from strangers and from friends.
From people who are politically amateur and sophisticated political professionals alike.
And it's that second part that surprises me.
Because to me this is so self-evidently and manifestly a fake.
The fact that politically sophisticated people, in fact there's one person, I am shocked that they said that their job...
He's a BS buster.
And they charge a lot of money to basically be on guard for BS. I'm not going to say who it was.
Let me just say I am stunned.
Oh, he's stunned, he says.
Stunned?
Or is he a disinformant?
He could be.
Yeah, he could be.
He could be.
That's one of the...
I sent this to somebody.
We had one of our producers send me a whole bunch of clips, and I sent him this.
I said, you know, this is bullshit.
Hey, there was something in the...
And he said, he said, he said, what is the Common Bet report?
Well, there's no proof that is bullshit.
Yeah.
There was something in the Liberal Memo that just triggered me.
Hold on, let me find it.
So this is unrestricted living under a full lockdown through the use of a photo identification referred to as Canada's health pass.
Okay, so that triggered me because I have an article today about the Mayo Clinic, who together with a startup, Silicon Valley startup, have launched their health passport.
And this is interesting.
They're taking it a little bit further.
So it's an app, of course, and it focused initially on COVID-19.
Listen, Mayo Clinic has teamed up with a health technology company, it's called the Safe Health Group, to launch a new digital service focused on reducing the high cost of testing and care for COVID-19.
But not just that.
Also, sexually transmitted diseases and other common medical conditions.
They're really, you know, they're really planning on doing a lot with, you know, with your information.
Well, when the smart, let's go back in history a little bit.
There's a lot of these idealistic concepts that really appeared in the, probably in the early 80s, late 70s.
And one of them was the, when the smart card was invented in France, the little chip card.
Yeah.
That took forever to take place in the United States, and the reason for that was that the French company that, and they had them in Europe, everyone's using them, the little chip.
They didn't start using them here until the patent ran out 26 years later, because nobody wanted to pay the MasterCard and Visa because they're making all this money.
They didn't see any reason for it.
Let's keep the stripe, and we can scrape the card, and then we'll get that free.
We'll do the chip by ourselves after it's public domain.
That's the reason for that, by the way.
Of course, of course.
But even though nobody wants to talk about it, because we're way behind.
You guys are so far behind.
We're just waiting.
We're biding our time.
But when that smart chip was first invented, because I was writing a lot in technology back then, like all the time, There was a lot of discussion about the chip going further and that whole chip carrying all your financial data, all your money, your entire bank account.
All your Bitcoin will be on it.
That would be true today.
But I remember specifically that was going to be your passport information was all going to be on there.
And your health data.
Everything was going to be on this chip.
It was all going to be on a card.
And this card you'd carry with you.
Ain't life great.
Yeah.
That's what...
And nobody's patted an eye.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, think of all the possibilities.
Ooh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
They make life so much easier.
But now they can actually do it.
They can actually do it.
And they're going to...
Well, they're going to try to do it.
The problem is people lose the cars.
They get stolen.
They're easy to hack.
There's a lot of issues.
I mean, that smart chip, when it first came out, there was a hack.
I remember writing about this.
This was around 1980.
There was a hack of that chip that was a scandalous hack because it caused a lot of new laws to be written.
Yeah, wasn't that also the hack that eventually led to legislation because people were hacking the smart cards for their satellite decoders?
Oh, yeah, that was going on a lot.
You would get the gold card and you'd jack that thing in like, whoa, okay, I got free channels for the rest of my life.
Yeah.
And they worked until what they would do, they came up with a plan.
They blew it up.
They basically made you, they blew up all the cards.
I had one of the, I didn't have, I had a real card in the set, but they blew it up too because they blew up everybody's card.
And when I say blew it up, They just basically torched the car inside the box.
They literally shot some kind of electrical pulse.
Yeah, and you pull the car out and it's got a warped and it's a burnt smell.
It's true.
I remember this.
I remember this.
It would burn it.
And you had to get new cards.
You got to get your new card.
They actually would send you a card in the mail first and say, no, leave your old card in because they didn't want you putting the new card in and then they blew up the cards.
And then I don't know what they do about hacking now.
Always looking for the humor in the world.
Wales, as you know, is going into a severe lockdown.
They're a Build Back Better participant.
And they are locked down, I believe, until December.
Yeah.
All of November.
All of November.
Shut up.
But just before this happened, a couple days ago, you know that we talked about only the big box stores being open.
Tesco is one of them in the UK and also in Wales.
It's kind of like a target, I guess.
And they're not allowed to sell non-essential stuff, so you can't go in and get anything other than food and paper products, pretty much.
And there's this one guy, he went to the...
Because it's non-essential.
It's non-essential.
You're in the damn store.
So this dad agrees with you.
He's billed as a dad in this.
He looks about 35, 38.
And he's just wearing his underpants, and he goes in, and people are like, excuse me, sir, you can't come.
He said, well, I thought pants were non-essential.
You've got to appreciate the guy for doing that.
I love this guy.
Yeah, he got in some of the papers.
So, anyway.
Pants are non-essential.
Meanwhile, things are taking place.
Crazy.
I mean, we're seeing the dictionary being changed right before our very eyes.
Yeah, by SJW, not following the normal rules of developing a dictionary.
Well, are you ready for it?
This is really, really sad.
I'm sure it's going to get me irked.
Yeah.
You've probably corrected people when they say, irregardless...
It's funny you say that, because I almost had the Megyn Kelly clip that we have in the archives...
Megyn Kelly, you can look it up, Megyn Kelly clip, and it's her saying irregardless.
Really?
Yes, see if you can find it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, here it is, hold on.
Who was doing this to him in the interview, and if you watch the whole thing, she didn't give him a lot of opportunity to respond, and he just lost his patience because he was irritated by the interviewer, irregardless, irrespective of gender.
So she corrects herself, but it turns out she didn't have to.
Uh-uh.
And according to Merriam-Webster, who recently changed the term preference to be bad, just says, oh yeah, it's non-standard.
It's non-standard, but it can be used.
They have right here, frequently asked questions about irregardless.
Is it a word?
Yes.
It may not be a word that you like.
It says it here literally, in the dictionary.
Yes.
Irregardless.
May not be a word that you like or a word that you would use in a term paper, but irregardless certainly is a word.
It has been in use for well over 200 years, employed by a large number of people across a wide geographic range with a consistent meaning.
That is why we, and well nigh every other dictionary of modern English, define this word.
Remember that a definition is not endorsement of a word's use.
Well, if you can, the problem, the way you do develop, dictionaries, by the way, people don't know this, dictionaries are copyrighted.
Yes, yes, we have discussed this, it's worth hearing it again.
Yes, and so no two dictionaries are quite alike because they have to develop their, and that's why most of them are old and established.
Their own definitions.
And the oldest, one of the oldest that's in general use is the Oxford English Dictionary, which is a monster.
And it's the definitive dictionary and everybody else is kind of like an offshoot.
But Webster, the various Websters and Merriam-Webster and all the rest.
But you have to develop your definitions yourself and you have to write your own definitions individually for each word.
And you have to document.
You don't have to do this last part.
But you're supposed to, if you're a dictionary maker, document the usage so you can...
We have some rationale for having the word in the dictionary in the first place.
I have it here.
I have it here for the Oxford English Dictionary usage.
Irregardless is widely heard, perhaps arising under the influence of such perfectly correct forms as irrespective, but should be avoided by careful users of English, used regardless to mean without regard or consideration, or nevertheless.
That would be the definitive definition.
So they're kind of saying, yeah, it's a word because people use it, but you're an idiot if you use it.
You have to document usage to put it in there in the first place.
I would like a word included in the dictionary.
I have a new word.
Okay.
I'm an independent person.
You are an Indepundent.
Indepundent.
How do you spell it, though?
Indepundent.
Indepundent.
D-A-N-T. Indepundent.
It should be in the dictionary.
Well, so should Embiggen.
I'm all in on Embiggen.
However...
There is a war.
There is a war going on right now.
It looks like we're going to lose a letter from the alphabet.
We've been tracking this letter for a long time.
It is quite offensive.
I know what it is.
Well, of course, because the president's last name starts with this.
We are so angry at President Trump that we are going to remove the T from the dictionary.
We've already started with important...
Correct?
Yeah.
Yeah, oh yeah, important.
Here is the new version, a new word where we once again are dropping our T's.
I'm a really WGN's Washington correspondent, Kelly Meyer, joins us now live with the very latest.
Kelly?
Good evening, you're right, it could be at any second, and that confirmation looks all but certain.
Oh, certain!
Oh yeah, certain!
Certain!
It's been used for a long time by a lot of female idiots.
Sir Ann.
They will say Sir Ann.
And many of them are broadcasters.
Well, this is a broadcaster.
And that confirmation looks all but Sir Ann.
Sir Ann.
Sir Ann.
Sir Ann is what it is.
Sir Ann.
How do you spell that?
S-I-R-N. She should be ashamed of herself.
You know, if I was a station manager...
Yes, right away.
You got one...
One more...
Yeah, that was it.
That was your one shot.
Because you've got to at least give them a warning because they may be naive not knowing that this is not the way you pronounce certain.
But she says certain.
And you bring her in, you show her the tape, you say that one more time, you're fired.
Yeah, right.
Immediately.
Yeah, on the spot.
I'm not the station manager and neither are you.
No, no, I don't have the heart for it, man.
We'd be kick-ass station managers.
Yeah, we'd be like, hey, come here.
Spin around.
See if we can put you on the air.
Spin around.
Wasn't that what Roger Ailes said?
I think, yeah, I think what else was that?
Yeah, spin around.
Spin around.
Just spin around for me.
Let me see if you're good enough for the air.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
All right, so...
Those days are over.
So I think we should do two topics.
The good old...
Good times.
Remember that, John?
Good times.
Good times.
I remember...
There's a story.
I want to make sure I tell the story because this was the Me Too moment I witnessed.
And at the time, honestly, all of MTV was all in on it.
So the second wave of VJs included Kevin Seale, Carolyn Heldman, Chyna Kantner, And Carolyn Heldman was brought in to be kind of the girl next door.
She was from Boulder, Colorado.
You know, kind of a cutesy, you know, middle America type girl, but, you know, with the rosy cheeks.
Girl next door type.
Yeah, yeah.
It's actually a type.
Real Americana.
Yeah.
And then one day she came in and she was wearing shorts, which, you know, it's super appropriate, no problem.
But, hairy legs.
And the way it worked, you know, you'd be recording in the studio, and they had the girl next door with hairy legs.
That sounds like a title for a funny book.
But it was, yeah, it was reading on screen.
I mean, you could see it.
It's like, oh, man.
Oh, you could see the hair all over her.
Oh, jeez.
Now, up at seven.
H-I-R-S-U-T. Yeah, Fuzz.
Spell it.
S-U-I-T. We were at 515 East Broadway.
No?
515 East 57th.
I'm sorry.
That's where the studio was.
Up at 1775 Broadway, where they had the feed from the studio where the executives, you know, people are visiting in their office.
Oh, yeah, I've got the VH1 feed.
I've got the MTV feed over there.
Take a look at what's going on.
And they saw this and they called down.
And it was then my friend Steve Lee's job to go and talk to her and say, hey man, you really got to shave your legs.
In fact, you got to put something on because we just can't have you on camera like that.
And she was offended.
And ultimately, she got fired over it.
She had to have hairy legs?
No, that she didn't want to shave her legs or cover them up.
No, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, she personally had to have...
Well, I guess I'm putting it in kind of a different way, but she didn't want to shave her legs.
Yeah, well, just like I didn't want to cut my hair.
I got fired over that, too.
Well, you know, maybe if she had stood up for herself like you did, we'd have a whole different trend.
And right now, it would be cool to have just big hairy legs so the women that had the most hairy legs were the hottest.
I got hairy legs.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay, thank you.
Good timing.
So two things we need to talk about.
Of course, I watched as much as I could stomach of the Section 230 hearing, which really was all about Hunter Biden.
In general, it was about Hunter Biden.
Yeah.
You're talking about where they brought the...
Yeah, they brought in Zuckerberg.
Well, they didn't bring him in.
Everybody was on.
No, I know.
They're at home.
This was lousy.
I only have one clip from it.
It's got nothing to do with Section 230.
I have a Section 230 clip that's different.
Well, you want to play that first?
Let's do it.
Well, my Section 230 clip has got nothing to do with the hearings.
I've got a bunch of Trump clips in Arizona.
And Trump is unbelievable.
I mean, the fact that they're not covering any of this is just beyond me.
I go to bed every night and think, whatever he's doing, I hope I have that when I'm 73.
He does three a day now.
Yeah, he's doing three-a-day jumps on the plane, goes and does another hour, hour and a half, hour 20, depending on where he goes.
But this was the end of the day.
He's actually in Goodyear, Arizona, wherever.
It's really outside of Phoenix.
And this is the Phoenix.
Well, actually, this is the one before that.
He did a thing before that.
And this is where he comes out.
He's doing his shtick.
He's still lively.
When he gets to Phoenix, he kind of starts to poop out.
But for him, which this isn't pooping out for anybody else.
Yeah, he's still pretty energetic.
Yeah.
So this is Trump Arizona second 230 comments.
And I have to give you the visual after he says what he's about to say.
You can't find it anywhere.
Media anywhere.
It's a vote to support our police, support our military, defend our Second Amendment, which is under six.
Thank you.
Stand up to China.
China!
China!
Your more products are proudly stamped with that beautiful phrase.
You know what the phrase is?
Made in the USA. We will deliver record prosperity, epic job growth, and a safe vaccine is coming very quickly.
You're going to have it momentarily.
That eradicates the virus, and we're rounding the turn regardless.
You know that.
We've got the vaccine.
I say regardless.
They'll say, well, maybe you don't.
We have it.
Great companies.
And quickly ends the pandemic.
Should have never come here from China.
They should have never let it out.
We'll never forget.
All over the world.
All over the world.
You see what's happening in Europe.
All over the world.
Normal life will fully resume.
That's what we want, right?
Normal life.
Normal life.
And next year will be the greatest economic year in the history of our country.
A vote for sleepy Joe Biden, and he is a sleepy guy, I'll tell you what.
It's a powerful party, and the party is totally joined with the fake news media, the lamestream media right there.
And they're totally joined with the big tech.
I don't know, Section 230.
Does anyone know what Section 230 you do?
Section 230, I think, wah.
Wah?
What is that?
I mean, the crowd is, huh?
By the way, the crowd is literally dumb.
They're like, wah, Section wah?
I did not hear any response.
Well, that's because I cut it off.
Oh, okay.
There was another applause.
Most of those replauses were very long, and I clipped them.
They're seamless.
Oh, yeah.
I noticed it was so seamless.
Thanks.
Well, at the beginning, I don't know what happened.
So what's the visual?
What's the visual we got to have?
He says, section 230, wah.
When he says wah, he does a throat slit move.
Oh!
I don't think so.
And I've analyzed this.
First, for everybody, maybe it would be good to have a little reminder about the pertinent text in Section 230.
And what this was, back in 96, and it was brilliant, it was very smart that we did this back then, in order to...
Build cool things on the internet without being sued necessarily from what we then called user-generated content, USG. USG is the way to go, man.
Yeah, we're building a whole network of USG. We're going to slap some ads on that and be billionaires.
So we were talking about USG. And so that you could host a service which could be just like our Mastodon server which by the way we do have six and a half thousand people on that server and just as a side note administrative note we are moving it to a new facility since gosh it takes a little bit more than you'd think so for people who are like Hey, something doesn't work!
Shut up.
It's not easy to run.
Eriner is doing a yeoman's job on that.
Yeoman's.
Yeoman's.
So we may have some downtime.
It could be half an hour to an hour in the next week or two.
It could be a whole day if it goes wrong.
But we are moving that.
So when it happens, it's okay.
Just look at the floor.
The spinning will stop eventually.
You'll be okay.
You'll be okay.
I promise you.
People go crazy when it's down.
So, Section 230 is important for building.
However, it was limited so that if you wanted to take something off of your site, you had certain legal language you could follow to remove that.
And it's honestly very broadly written, and so it needs to be defined.
But here is what you can do.
So, you are allowed as a me, for no agenda social, or Facebook, or Twitter, you know, there's no difference according to the law, Any action voluntarily taken in good faith, I can indeed, restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user,
so it could be me or someone just using it, considers to be, and these are the key terms, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent.
Filthy.
And the one that I don't like is harassing or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected.
That's so broad.
And that is what they are hiding behind.
And without fail, Pachai from Google, Zuckerberg from Facebag, Dorsey from Twitter, all were signaling before they had to appear before the Senate, wow, it would be really bad if you took that away because little startups, they couldn't compete.
Little poor startups, they wouldn't be able to compete.
Oh, please don't take it away.
Please regulate it so we can be the strongest mofos on the block.
And the whole hearing, if it wasn't about...
Republicans saying, will you censor conservative voices?
And all this crying bull crap, because you know my stance.
Go start your own network.
Give me a time code, please.
Yeah, I got it.
We start our own network.
We got enough people.
It's fun over there.
We don't need to.
We're not narcissistic that we have to be viewable for the whole world of Twitter.
Well, some people are.
So, it was really a circle jerk of epic proportions.
But there are a couple things and attitudes that I wanted to highlight.
And the first one is Mark Zuckerberg.
In his opening statement, which he was reading from a teleprompter, which is kind of pathetic, because you could see his eyes moving, reading the text.
Some of the other guys, Dorsey didn't have a teleprompter for sure.
He was reading off of his screen.
But, you know, Zuckerberg had God knows what's going on.
Can I give a teleprompter tip for people out there?
Oh, yeah.
This is very important.
People might find themselves using a teleprompter.
Using a teleprompter.
Yeah.
It's going to depend on your eyesight, but if you're farsighted or you have glasses or anything, you want the teleprompter as far away from you as possible.
You want a big teleprompter.
You don't want these little cheap ones, these little cheapy little phone-sized teleprompters.
You want a teleprompter that is big and way back, and the camera has to have a zoom lens that goes through the teleprompter and looks at you.
Or, you know, the other people use cue cards, which is the old way.
Because when the teleprompter is far enough back, you can't see the eyeballs going back and forth.
True.
The closer it is, the more your eyeballs go back and forth and the more it's apparent that you're reading from a prompter.
Just so you know.
Just a tip.
So I'd like to review an important piece of American law, which is the First Amendment.
And just to reiterate, we've done it for 13 years so far.
We're in our 14th year.
This is not a right that is given to you by the document.
The Bill of Rights...
It's a document that explains the restrictions on the government, what the government is not allowed to do to your already inherent and, as many would believe, God-given rights.
So the First Amendment to the United States Constitution does not say, you can say what you want.
No.
It starts off by saying, Congress, that's our American government, shall make no law.
Respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press.
And there's another line there, but that's the most important part.
So it speaks of freedom of speech that cannot be abridged.
Congress can make no law that will abridge that.
But what's interesting in Mark Zuckerberg's entire testimony and his initial statement, he does not use freedom of speech.
He uses the term freedom of expression.
And I find that very interesting because freedom of expression is in no way the same as freedom of speech.
In fact, the definition of expression is the process of making known one's thoughts or feelings or perhaps a political viewpoint.
So it's not the same as free speech.
And when he equates that to the First Amendment, he's a douchebag.
So let's listen to a bit of his opening statement.
Chairman Wicker, Ranking Member Cantwell and members of the committee, every day millions of Americans use the internet to share their experiences and discuss issues that matter to them.
Setting the rules for online discourse is an important challenge for our society and there are principles at stake that go beyond any one platform.
How do we balance free expression and safety?
How do we define what is dangerous?
Who should decide?
I don't believe that private companies should be making so many decisions about these issues by themselves.
And at Facebook, we often have to balance competing equities.
Sometimes the best approach from a safety or security perspective isn't the best for privacy or free expression.
We work with experts across society to strike the right balance.
We don't always get it right, but we try to be fair and consistent.
The reality is that people have very different ideas and views about where the lines should be.
Democrats often say that we don't remove enough content, and Republicans often say we remove too much.
I expect that we'll hear some of those criticisms today.
And the fact that both sides criticize us doesn't mean that we're getting this right.
But it does mean that there are real disagreements about where the limits of online speech should be.
I think that's understandable.
People can reasonably disagree about where to draw the lines.
That's a hallmark of democratic societies, especially here in the U.S. with our strong First Amendment tradition.
Okay.
Massive, massive douchebag.
He just called our First Amendment a tradition.
A tradition.
This is how these a-holes think about stuff.
That's a hallmark of democratic societies, especially here in the U.S. with our strong First Amendment tradition.
Tradition.
Unbelievable.
He cannot say free speech, freedom of speech.
He's not capable of it.
What everyone was talking about, mind-blowing hate speech.
They spent hours, well, what defines hate speech?
Which, of course, is legally not defined.
And you had actual senators talking about hate speech as if it's a thing.
Oh, hate speech.
Guess what?
I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate every single one of you.
I hate you.
Is that illegal?
It's mind-boggling, but it doesn't matter because this is what he really wants.
Zuckerberg wants the big regulation so that he and his company and his other cohorts will be the only ones who can actually adhere to it because you need lawyers and AI and all kinds of people checking the AI. I'm going to slow you down there.
Uh...
First of all, I think that was written by a lawyer.
Of course it was.
Absolutely.
Which makes you really, I mean, that should make you even more incensed.
More uncomfortable, yep.
Because the guy, for one thing, can't think for himself, and he had a lawyer write this, because it sounds very legalese.
Mm-hmm.
And if you're going to bring in the point that this is designed to get it so only these companies can survive because of the need for layers of lawyers, it would make sense that a lawyer would write this up.
Exactly.
And that's what this whole exercise was.
And I would say two-thirds, if not more, of even the people pushing back are getting money from these Silicon Valley companies.
They're one of the biggest lobbyists...
Pocket books in all of Washington, D.C. Everybody knows it.
They all know it.
That's why these dicks don't have to even get on their private jet to come fly and testify in person.
No, we'll just do it on the WebEx.
Right now the discussion is focused on Section 230.
Some say that ending 230 would solve all of the internet's problems.
Others say it would end the internet as we know it.
From our perspective, Section 230 does two basic things.
First, it encourages free expression, which is fundamentally important.
Without 230, platforms could potentially be held liable for everything that people say.
They'd face much greater pressure to take down more content to avoid legal risk.
Second, it allows platforms to moderate content.
Without 230, platforms could face liability for basic moderation, like removing harassment that impacts the safety of their communities.
Now, there's a reason why America leads in technology.
Section 230 helped create the internet as we know it.
It has helped new ideas get built and our companies to spread American values around the world, and we should maintain this advantage.
But the internet has also evolved, and I think that Congress should update the law to make sure that it's working as intended.
One important place to start would be making content moderation systems more transparent.
Another would be to separate good actors from bad actors by making sure that companies can't hide behind Section 230 to avoid responsibility for intentionally facilitating illegal activity on their platforms.
So that's where it comes in.
We'll make moderation more transparent, which means you'll have to have a moderation department and a head of moderation, a VP of moderation, and then the HR. You have to file reports, TPS reports, all that stuff.
TPS, exactly.
You have to file all your reports.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, please, go ahead.
Well, I was going to say, there's one little giveaway in there that I think was overlooked by everybody, and I think it's fundamental that people understand it.
And Zuckerberg just threw it out there, just casually, and I think it was really reflective of something bigger, and something bigger that should be noted.
He says that Democrats think that we don't remove enough, and Republicans say we remove too much.
Yes.
That is a major indictment of the Democrat Party and Democrat thinking in general.
They want censorship.
They want the lockdown.
They want everything, you know, control of the public.
They want more control.
The Republicans are just the opposite.
And this is according to Zuckerberg and his observations.
That's a good point.
Let me just pick that up there.
How do we balance free expression and safety?
How do we define what is dangerous?
Who should decide?
Where is it?
Come on.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Democrats often say that we don't remove enough content, and Republicans often say we remove too much.
That's interesting that he brought that up at all in that context, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's something he's obviously observed.
I'm not a Republican or a Democrat.
I'm just a sloth who doesn't count.
That's his observation, and he probably said it for the context of the hearing, but it's very good what you pick up from that.
Yeah, Democrats like it.
You know, it's not important.
It's important.
It's important.
Of course, I personally feel that if you have a link to something and you say, hey, looky here, this is a link to some cool ass crap.
There should be no reason for them to be taking that down.
That is not on your platform.
The content is not living on your servers.
It is pretty much the currency of the internet is the link.
So you can link out.
Now, we know why they don't want it.
My pitch is very short.
Advertising equals censorship.
That's the bottom line.
I don't care who you are, what you think.
If there's advertising in play, you have to self-censor.
Because you will lose your advertisers.
Advertisers are everything.
I want to go back to the earlier days of the internet, say around 96.
The early days of the web.
Okay, 94.
93 is when it started.
Say about 95.
In 95, if you were...
And I was doing a lot of internet writing at the time.
I was writing for...
There were a lot of big-time publishers, big boys, and they always would say the same thing.
Oh my God, you're linking out.
What are you thinking, man?
You can't put links in your column.
You're linking out.
You're taking people out of the site.
I think the New York Times didn't even link out for the longest time.
I think the New York Times never linked out until just recently when they finally had to.
And this was the mode.
Oh, you're killing us.
You're linking out.
They're never going to come back.
Which I always felt was bullcrap.
That's why I argued the other side.
I said, no, you're giving them the opportunity to link it.
They'll come back.
They'll come back specifically.
It's my column.
They're coming back.
Well, I can tell you right now, this will only lead to one thing.
Everything's going to be on a blockchain, and there'll be no control, and it'll be there forever, and people are going to love it.
It'll work just like Twitter or FaceBag or whatever, and these companies will have no control.
They are going to lose complete control.
And by the way, Look at the statistics on Twitter.
It's really a small amount of people in the United States.
Most of the loudest ones are really Democratic voting political zealots.
They're on there for that reason.
Yes, they're on there for that reason.
Twitter are Democrats.
Yeah, which is fine.
Because the other ones have been rousted.
But let's be honest.
You're on noagendasocial.com.
It's enjoyable.
I get everything I need from that.
How about you?
Well, it turns out And I've found this effect before.
If you're really into something and you've got a point to make, you want to put it on one of these micro-blogs, which is what these are, you just want to get it out of your system.
And it turns out you get the same satisfaction of sending it out to the supposed 102,000 followers I have on Twitter or the 2,000 followers I have on No Gender Social.
The effect's the same.
Not even that, but I think I get better response from those gender social.
You get better response?
Sure.
And by the way, I don't know if I've mentioned this, people are exactly the same.
Every day, there's one, two, three reports that This person posted something hostile.
I don't like that picture.
And of course, I get the reports as the admin, and I just look at it and I shake my head.
It's like, wow, everybody needs daddy.
He's being mean.
He's running a bot and didn't include me.
Yes.
Human behavior is remarkable.
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...
John C. Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, the dames and knights.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hands up, trolls!
Let's take a count.
1,696 trolls on deck.
You can find it at noagendastream.com on show days.
We have a stream there.
So you go to the chat, the stream starts.
You're listening to something.
It's always playing.
And if it's not one of our many live shows, then it's podcasts that are all done, all commercials, all talk, no commercials.
And we have some great programming, and you can hang out with people and talk about the show or anything you want.
And while you're in there, hit people up for an invite to this NoAgendaSocial.com that we've been talking about.
You can get it from anybody.
Anybody who's on NoAgendaSocial.com can give you that invite, which, of course, always has people sending me emails saying, Can you give me an invite?
No.
I'm banning invites now.
Man, this is going to get worse.
I'm banning invites.
You've got to go find it yourself as a barrier to entry if you're really serious about it.
And that is our non-algoed, federated social media network.
media and it integrates beautifully across multiple servers.
You can cut off people if you're not interested in hearing their whole group's message, which is what a lot of people have done to us, but that's okay.
The ones that are connected to us care and there's reasons for it.
So it's actually quite a very good self-organizing system.
And also would like to thank the artiste for our 13th anniversary artwork.
And this honor went to Mountain Jay, who brought us, of course, the show was 1,289-1289.
We titled it Post Orange, which some people took to be as a reference to a clockwork orange, which, really, when you think about it, is quite an interesting analogy.
Oh, that's actually, wow.
Isn't that good?
I thought you'd like that.
There's also, in Clockwork Orange, everything's dark and black, and then you have the orange to contrast that.
I mean, there's a lot there.
So this was 13 years, Curry Dvorak, the best podcast in the universe.
We got a bell on there, 13 years.
We had a goat.
Gotta honor the goat.
And it was, I think you liked this one right off the bat, if I recall.
Yeah.
Well, because I liked the other one she did.
Mountain Jay did one for the previous show that I think he used as the pre-show.
And I liked that one a lot, and I thought that this newer one, which was an update, would have been better served with a white background.
Right, and we did contemplate changing that, but I think I said...
No, I'm too tired for that.
You nixed it.
I could have done it.
I'm too tired for that.
But then again...
But if you were an art director and you had her, I would have said two things.
I would have said, one, let's get a white background on that and center the thing that you got at the middle there.
But it was a nice piece.
And as Darren pointed out in the commentaries on the No Agenda Social, he said, this is the first time two women in a row Is that true?
Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.
Then he said, congrats, babes.
Really?
No, he didn't do that.
Congrats, babes.
Why doesn't that surprise me somehow?
Wow.
Well, this is the value for value model where we like to thank people for sending one of the three necessities.
So we provide a show to you.
You're listening to it.
If you're spending your time on it, clearly there's some value in it for you.
We would like you to give that back to us.
We have three T's.
Remember, this is the most hated letter in the alphabet.
So it's your I'm, your Alan, or your Ezure, your time, your talent, or your treasure.
And we'd like to thank our top supporters financially in this first segment.
They become our executive producers and associate executive producers.
And I am very proud to say...
For those of you who for years have been putting this credit, you see it everywhere, LinkedIn, you see it on social media profiles, someone will say, I was the executive producer of episode 1290 of the No Agenda show, and as we say, these credits are real.
The proof is in the pudding, and the proof comes from Our Hollywood producer, Dana Brunetti, if you go to his IMDB, you will see...
His credits for Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Freed, House of Cards, multiple episodes.
And right there at the top, ladies and gentlemen, he puts Associate Executive Producer, one episode, no agenda, 2020.
That proves it.
These credits are real.
Yeah, actually.
Fact!
It's a big deal to have somebody at his level to do that.
No kidding!
He even put in, if you click through to it, he even put in the number, like the minute number.
It's like one hour, two minutes.
One hour, two minutes is where his credit was recognized.
Well, you know, he doesn't need to go that far, but it's funny.
Let's start with Neil Harrison, who comes in from Auburn, Michigan, leading the pack today at $666.67.
He actually sent in two checks for some unknown reason.
Interesting.
Okay.
And he sent a note.
And he also has one of those handwritings.
It's very Frenchy.
Oh, Frenchy.
ITM, and by the time you get this happy belated 13th anniversary, your show is becoming invaluable to me as it has to many others.
So thank you and all the producers who gave before I got hit in the mouth so that there could be a show to get hooked on.
Ah, what he's saying there is, Thanks for being on for so long, because he probably would have missed it.
Right.
Anyways, please find the enclosed...
Okay, what are you going to do?
Nothing.
Now that we've established it as an annoyance.
I think Merriam-Webster needs to add anyways with a Z as an official spelling of the words.
And they might as well do any who.
Any who.
Yeah.
While you're at it, throw in an anywho.
Yeah, anywho.
Anywho.
Please find the enclosed 666.67, which is like Regeneron for my previous douchebaggery.
Oh, nice.
Sorry about giving two checks at once.
A result of rather poor planning.
I think they had different dates, so I think he was going to send a check in.
Yeah.
But it works out well if we just say that it was on purpose and in honor of my two favorite TV shows, Inspector Morse and Inspector Lewis, which I just recently found out had 33 episodes each.
Typical.
Who dreams this?
Who comes up with this?
Typical.
Look, this donation takes me to the knighthood, so if you would please pronounce to Kate, there's another word that should be in there.
Yes.
Pronounce to Kate me Sir Dunabunk of the Northern Mitten.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, get your pencil.
I'm ready to go.
For the round table, please provide me some Beck's and a big old bag of Haribo gummy bears.
Now there's a combination I wouldn't wish on anybody.
Beer and gummy bears.
If you've never seen it, go read the Amazon.com review of Haribo gummy bears.
It's a very funny review.
What does it say?
Because I eat those once in a while.
Oh, you've never seen that?
Oh, it's like the longest thread in internet history of people telling their experience after eating a whole bag of terrible...
Oh, I don't know if you'd want to eat a whole bag at once.
Oh, no.
It's a very nasty thread.
Oh, God.
Yeah, I should go take a look.
Yeah, you had like one.
No, no.
Anyway.
Not on that thread.
For jingles, F cancer, that's true, and one more time, one of your choosing.
So you got F cancer and that's true.
And a happy Thanksgiving to you and yours and all the other producers out there.
And then he says, John, would you provide me with an email address for a producer involved with the Michigan meetups?
And then he has his email.
I will not read his email, so I will try to do that.
I probably won't forget about it, but somebody from Michigan will remind me, and then I'll do it.
Okay, so since it's up to me...
You should be in those meetups.
Michigan is one of the most sociable states in the country, and their local number one just has meetups constantly.
Okay, we'll do an old classic here.
It's the no-legenda swine flu.
That's true.
Stop it!
You've got karma.
You've got karma.
Next on the list is Anonymous.
Now, I want to complain about this particular note.
He says, this brings me to Aussie Dollar Knighthood.
I would send a note, an email note, which he did.
But I don't understand why he didn't put this.
It was anonymous.
Normally, here's the way that would go.
I'd read his name.
And then I go to the note and it would say right at the top of the note, which I've done already, luckily.
Keep me anonymous.
Can you make it a little, you know, put in the...
You know what I'm saying?
Alright, so he says...
I know what you're saying.
I know what you're saying.
I'm talking to him, not you.
And all the other Aussies.
It's $366.33.
He'll be executive producer.
Thank you.
How much did he have to send?
$8,000?
It turned out to be an instantite.
That's what...
Okay.
So what was...
Alright.
So anyway.
Yes.
Keep going.
It's in the note.
So I'm going to give you the clips first.
He says, the one with vocal fry.
Read the New York Times on my iPad app.
You know what that is?
Yeah.
It's Jill.
Yeah.
Jill.
I got her.
Yeah, I got her.
Jill Abrams.
And that's true.
That's it.
That's it?
That's just one?
It's the iPad and that's true?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
Thank you.
That's the way it should be.
That's easy, yeah.
This is a $366.33 U.S. donation from anonymous Aussie to the best podcast in the universe.
Keep on up with the great work.
It's one of these notes that scrolls to infinity.
Keeping resizing amygdalas worldwide.
Can I please get a health karma?
For my mother and father who are both fighting non-covered related illnesses.
This is 333.33 plus an extra 33 to bring me to knighthood.
In deflated Aussie dollars, you have some accounting here.
Accounting below, I turned 50 this week.
Ah!
Nice.
I didn't put this on there.
Is he not on the list?
So a birthday shout-out would be huge.
To Anonymous.
To Anonymous.
Or actually, here's his knight name.
He has a knight name?
Okay, hold on.
Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Hit me.
It's...
Didn't get this note, so I didn't send it to Eric, so it's not on the list.
Okay.
Serpentine, Knight of the Red Cliff Peninsula.
And then he says, give me that name if there are no title disputes.
Let me think.
I'm pretty sure there is no Serpentine.
And when is his birthday?
Yeah.
It's today, I think.
Okay.
Well, he's getting it today.
I turned 50 this week.
So he's going to be 50.
All right.
Serpentine.
Serpentine night of the Red Cliff Peninsula.
Got it.
Okay.
It's a lot of extra work.
Sorry.
It's okay.
And then you can jingle him out.
Okay.
Here we go.
You know, obviously, I read the New York Times, like, all day long, mainly on my iPad app.
That's true.
There we go.
There we go.
That's true.
Oh, he asked for health karma.
I'm sorry.
Health karma!
You've got karma.
Wouldn't want to forget that.
And speak of the devil, Dana Brunetti's back.
Whoa, there he is.
333.33 from Los Angeles, California.
Um...
Now, I'll read it on it.
I may add to this.
In the morning, and happy anniversary from Golden Cloud Ranch, where since March I've been living in an Airstream with my smoking hot fiancé, Alex.
Yes, and we've seen the Airstream and Alex, and yes!
It's a big...
Alex is pretty, and the Airstream is big.
And it's bigger than the one I had.
I think he has the monster one.
It's really cool.
He has the max Airstream.
Yeah, it's...
And I do want to ask him, are you also a little disappointed with the finishing?
I mean, it's really...
It's kind of shoddy, right?
Stuff was a little off-center.
That's it.
I just wanted to say that.
You have...
You know, Airstream should call you and give you a free Airstream to shut you up.
I would reject it.
Oh, Adam, please check the grammar on this.
Anyways, I realized after my donation to the last show that I made a terrible $83 mistake and ended up with an associate producer credit.
Oh, my God.
Everyone in Hollywood knows that it's what's given to an assistant rather than a raise.
I'll tell you what, kid.
You're going to be an associate executive, associate producer, okay?
I can use some more money.
Ah, no, no, no.
This is better.
Believe me.
It's like executive VP in corporate structure.
It's the same thing.
You got a new title, no raise.
Yeah, that's a classic.
We must correct this before future deals of mine are adversely affected by this precedent.
Can I send in another 83 to adjust that previous credit, or is it now written in stone?
I don't know, man.
I think it's written in stone.
I don't think you can come back and do that.
It's written in stone.
Anyways, it's written in stone.
Call a meeting and let me know.
It's written in stone.
And with my last donation.
And potential future donations, please feel free to pick a credit of mine for use on the show.
It's not just the same one every time, please.
Oddly, from the associate executive producer of episode 1287 of No Agenda has gotten no traction for any projects I'm pitching.
Must be because of the COVID. Hopefully, I made it under the wire for your 13th anniversary show.
You kind of did.
This is still the 13th anniversary.
and I have old clips to prove it.
I meant to send it yesterday, but spent the day moving dirt.
And then I went over to my neighbor's property and drank whiskey until I fell over.
Also to answer...
Hey, welcome to the farming community.
Welcome to the Central Valley.
Also to answer Adam's questions last week, my land is unfortunately not a weed farm.
Though some of my neighbors have grown some nice buds for personal use.
John can give more color to what I'm doing here per our separate correspondence.
And if you want to see pics, you're not too afraid of Instagram.
I'm at Dana.
Wow.
Okay, well, you can go look at the pics.
Please give me some Sharpton...
Sharpton...
Respect and abide and just shoot him in the leg.
I don't remember that clip.
I just played it earlier.
Shoot him in the leg.
No, you said hairy legs.
Oh, I had that one too.
You played hairy legs.
You didn't say shoot him in the leg earlier.
Followed by something to help my sore head.
And no, it's not sore from last night's whiskey, but from being a dumbass and flipping my side-by-side Polaris.
Polaris?
Oh, that's a good...
Yeah, well, he flipped it.
So, you know, you can get killed on those things.
Be careful.
Happy anniversary again, and congrats on the best podcast in the universe.
Wow, that is so nice to hear from you.
It's almost a knighthood already.
So what is this...
That's when he gets to have a cool title.
What's this separate correspondence he speaks of?
I sent him a note to say something.
I wonder where it was.
No, no, no.
Don't lie.
Don't lie.
You said, about that bit part.
Hey, I need a bit part.
And you know what he said?
He said, kid, I'll call you in the morning.
He's getting lunch at Chipotle.
Chipotle.
The Tortise in the race.
Tim Kardashian.
Siganoi Weaver.
Rush.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T. They're all jitty.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T. There's no real conflict.
Resist.
We must.
Resist.
Just a little bit.
We must.
Just a little bit.
And we will much.
About that.
Be committed.
You've got...
Oh my goodness.
Dana, thank you for bringing the laughter today.
It's nice.
James Fukumoto is next on the list from Salem, Virginia, 333.33.
Thanks again for the best podcast in the universe.
Thanks for continuing to do the work since today is my 33rd birthday.
How many people have their 33rd birthday and get called out on this show?
A lot.
It's unbelievable to me.
Well, these people started listening when they were 22.
I figured another donation at 333.33 would be appropriate if Adam could kick in a penny.
Yeah, let me see that.
And that brings me to $1,000.
Here we go.
Woo!
There it is.
Congratulations.
You're in.
You're in.
If that acceptable, then Sir James Fukumoto will do for me.
And some old Forrester 1920 to sip on at the round table would be great.
I ordered that, and honestly, I did crack it, and I did have a sip.
So, yes, it's coming for you.
What do you think?
Is it good?
I haven't had that for years.
It's a little better than the 21?
Please.
All right.
All right.
Do we have any?
No.
No requests.
That's it.
Okay, we're good.
Jackie Green.
Jackie Green.
Musician extraordinaire.
Oh.
300.
Yeah.
He is.
Really?
My family and I are long-time listeners and supporters of the best podcasts in the universe.
Congrats on 13 years.
I'm a musician who tries to make a living.
True trial.
I'm sorry.
He says, who makes a living on the road.
Well, it's been difficult to watch the pandemic and shutdowns completely gut an entire industry.
And not just the performers, but think about sound techs, lighting, roadies.
I mean, this is everybody.
Bookers, club bookers, promoters.
People are hurting, hurting.
They're hurting.
Hurting.
It's been difficult to watch the pandemic and shutdowns completely gut an entire industry.
It's hard enough to make a living without all the cancel culture and peacocking bullshit.
and then go and pull this stunt.
Go figure.
Since all my spring, summer, and fall shows got postponed, I started doing value-for-value contents on my Facebook page.
It occurred to me that I should donate to you some of what I would normally spend on advertising for my summer tour.
Duh, value for value.
So here's that dough.
And a little extra for good measure.
Thank you both for your thorough deconstruction of the media.
I've never been very active on FaceBag until now, but sucking it up since I'm not sure how else to reach the most people.
Way to kick a guy while he's down, COVID. So I'd like to send an invite here to all NA fans to check out my webcast.
Live from backstage this Sunday, 11-1.
The first is this Sunday.
5 p.m.
PST on the Jackie Green, with an E at the end, Jackie, G-R-E-E-N-E, Facebook page.
Well, we have a very active face bag community, which neither you or I are a part of, out of principle, not for the producers, but for the bag.
And I would like everyone to go check him out on Sunday, 5 o'clock.
Jackie Green with an E. Jackie Green with an E. He's really good.
Thank you very much, Jackie.
I think he's in Northern California, not Bay Area, but I think somewhere up north.
Up north, he can go meet up with the producer.
Yeah, with the...
You drive and have beers to get Jackie Green and Brunetti.
You could go have some of that whiskey fall over.
Yeah, drive around the ATV. Don't worry.
Bring it into the Airstream.
Don't give a crap.
Don't worry.
The Glock is on his hip.
It's not in his hand.
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
Kyle Mann's got no Glock.
But he does have...
I've got to find him here.
There he is.
Kyle Mann in Cincinnati, $280.64, first associate executive producer, show 1290.
And he wrote a handwritten note, which I'm going to have nothing but difficulty reading, because there's a term called chicken scratch.
It's a style of writing.
Hello, John and Adam.
This donation brings me to knighthood.
I don't know if I listed him.
Did you not?
Yeah, he's listed.
Yeah, he's listed.
He resumed the title, Sir Man of the Center.
Pronounced...
Then he's got just a scribble.
I can't read it.
But it's pronounced something.
I've been listening on and off since the run-up to the 2016 election.
In this time, I finished grad school and have spent several years, you know, you could become a doctor, and have spent several years in my first job as something, a younger millennial.
I'm a younger millennial.
Thank you for the info and the entertainment over those years.
Sure.
You're welcome.
To commemorate over this last year, I occasionally...
I'm a casualty of the lockdowns.
Has anyone re-acclimated to normal life after brain injury?
Ouch.
I got a bad concussion in February and the situation made the recovery quite an ordeal.
Yes, absolutely.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Recovery social, psychological has been aggressively ever since.
Luckily, I am back to 90% by now, and I'd like health karma for myself, okay, and any other similar, rather similar situations, anyone with those.
Two months into the recovery, in the middle of the lockdowns, while I was still on medical leave due to the isolation and general stress, my health was declining, and I headed out to the American West to go on a month-long hiking road trip, sleeping in my car.
Best decision I made this year.
On this trip, the No Agenda show was a great way to spend some of the longer legs of driving.
Keep up the great work.
Best regards, Kyle.
Thank you.
Thank you, Kyle.
And I just wanted to mention, if you're feeling depressed, if you're not, you know, because this COVID situation, depending on where you are in the world, can get people down.
I've seen with my own eyes that NoAgendaSocial.com, you have family.
If you feel lonely, go there and post, shit, I don't feel so good, because people will jump in and will talk with you.
And I've seen this, and it's happened more than once.
So you just know you do have friends.
You do have a family.
It's no Agenda Nation.
And there are people who will be more than willing to talk to you and hear you out.
That is a public service announcement.
Yeah, very good.
Sir Borisov Marinov's on the list.
$260 from Trabuco Canyon.
And he needs some jobs, Karma.
$260.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
So, Lauren Lemire in Carlisle, Massachusetts, $233.09.
She actually sent a card in.
Nice card, too.
And she says, from Lauren in Phoenix.
She's in Phoenix.
Left the coldness and misery of Massachusetts and go to Phoenix.
In the morning, John and Adam.
Thanks for all the deconstruction and work you both put into each and every show.
Please accept my first ever donation.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Lenny hit me in the mouth a while ago, but to my knowledge, still has not donated.
Uh-oh.
Call him out as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
Have either of you heard of anything on the long-term effects of COVID infection?
There's been a lot written.
Some say there was a report today that said your brain is messed up and I've heard about your heart being messed up and it's very inconclusive.
Yeah, and it varies.
There's no consistency whatsoever.
JC had it, no long-term anything.
We had 60 people at the Vegas meetup, and I want to ask again, and we were full-on super spreader.
I don't think anyone got sick.
Yes, because, like I said, it's over.
Okay, just wanted to make sure I put that out there.
But there's, yes, and there's also COVID toe, which I thought was peculiar.
COVID toe?
What is COVID toe?
Check it out.
Well, no.
You can tell me.
I'm not into toe pictures.
Well, COVID toe, where all your toes turn yellow and grody looking, and it looks like they're all rotten looking, and then I guess it clears up.
It's like, oh, let me take a look.
I have to take a look.
COVID toe.
You have to check it out.
COVID toe.
It's like camel toe, only different.
COVID toe.
So there's stuff like that.
See it?
Yeah.
And there's COVID fingers, too.
I guess there's something, but that's rare.
Yes, so there's things that go on.
My friend had it in July.
You can smell it.
You know, there were a number of people that tried to produce smell.
Oh, I remember that you had scratch-off cards, didn't you?
No, no, I'm talking about that hook to the computer.
Oh God, I think I remember that too.
I'll talk about this in some other show, but to this day it still cracks me up.
Anyway, so Lauren's complaining that one of her friends still claims, and she's got claims underlined, because this is one of my pet peeve words, mild shortness of breath and the inability to completely clear her throat.
Betty has this.
Betty had it.
You know Betty.
Betty, so she had two tests, stayed home.
She was sick.
She really felt bad for a couple days.
And now it's been three weeks, four weeks now.
She still says she has some shortness of breath going upstairs.
Yeah.
But I can recall that from the flu, too.
Some people, yes.
So the long and short answer is yes.
So your buddy's probably having some issues.
So just be nice.
Let's give her, Lauren, just a basic karma.
Okay, of course.
You've got karma.
Todd Creamer in Scotts Valley, California.
$213.
I've been holding on, he writes, to a few dollars for my PPP loan to get my amygdala consultants.
I was on the eight-week plan, still twiddling my thumbs waiting for the loan to be forgiven.
Second, I have been holding on to the attached song to be played at the end of the show.
I sent it to you.
I had no clue that Zephyr route was seasonal in California.
Well, no, the Zephyr is a California Zephyr.
It's seasonal wherever it is.
And it's only seasonal recently.
I cannot wait.
And by the way, it did go by today.
So still running on Thursdays.
Yeah.
Did it go by?
Did it go by?
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw it.
Well, hold on.
You didn't tell me.
Six cars.
Ladies and gentlemen, Squawk Box, CNBC, six cars for the Zephyr.
What was the speed, John C. Dvorak?
Slow?
Normal?
Moderate.
Moderate speed?
Bitcoin, 13,552!
Check, false.
Oops.
Oh my god!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
By the way...
I cannot wait for the executive producers to rewrite.
He continues.
Yeah.
The lyrics for this song.
The song is written by Gary Hart, R.I.P. Grant was a member of the 80s power trio Husker Du.
Husker Du.
I remember Husker Du.
Husker Du.
Husker Du.
Unfortunately, the two of the three members could not get along and broke up before making it big on Adam's former TV station.
Yeah.
My only jingle request is an F cancer for my friend Laramie and his son Rylan as they both continue their fight against cancer and leukemia talk.
Ugh.
Yeah, so Todd sent that song along.
along.
I'll just play a little bit of it.
Every bill is as far as it goes.
Take a bus to the American air.
It's called the California Zephyr.
Every year, they check you out while they check you out.
And if he rewrites the lyrics, yeah, we'll play it at the end of the show.
Absolutely.
And I did just want to make note.
I don't know if you saw the video that came in.
One of our producers who is a conductor on a train in Victoria.
Yeah.
And he sent a video and he did a toot for you.
you listen that's a nice horn Yeah, and you should see it's a video of him right in the front, you know, watching the front of the tracks.
It's very cool.
It's on email.
I'll forward it to you.
It probably got blocked somewhere.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm sorry.
The song about the California Zephyr doesn't really feel like the train ride.
No.
But it could be written to be funny.
Now, we have to send this F cancer specifically for his friend Laramie and his son Ryland.
Stop it!
You've got karma.
Stephen Riley, $205.
I don't know where he's from.
With this donation of $205, I've reached the level of night.
Now, he's not on the list.
Please give me a title of Sir Stephen of the Bighorn Basin.
I would request pizza burgers and Pepsi beer at the round table.
I never would have donated without the prodding from my daughter, Andra.
Give her the damehood who made a Father's Day donation on my behalf.
Well, okay, she's the good girl.
She got the idea from my sister, her Aunt Barb.
Barb!
Sounds like something from the Andy Griffin show.
Yeah, leave it to Beaver.
Or leave it to Beaver.
She got the idea from my sister, her Aunt Barb, who had been encouraging me to become a knight.
They are both a big support to me.
Mm-hmm.
Anyways...
It's over.
It's over.
I have been listening since episode one when it was more like a food and wine show with interesting conversation thrown in.
Back in the day.
Yeah, those days are over.
Now this show is indispensable with the media deconstruction and the intelligent observations by the both of you.
Thanks for the great 13 years and stay negative.
Jingles, Manning, the apocalypse is coming, Sophia Franklin, it's scary, that's true.
It's scary.
Yeah, Sophia is just, it's scary.
And then that's true, I'm sure is not, I don't believe that's from Sophia.
Accounting, and he's got the accounting.
Okay.
And the karma, or is it just those two?
It's just Jingles.
I will throw it in.
We'll throw it in.
They're saying that all hell is going to break loose, and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
You've got karma.
It's true.
It's true.
We've got the scary from...
What's scary?
Sophia with an F. We don't have...
We don't have...
It's scary.
We don't have that.
So what I sent...
It's recent.
No.
We have...
I sent it in.
It's one of the end of show ones I clipped from her.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I misunderstood.
It's scary.
Okay, I understand.
Well, we have to do that again, then.
That's just nice.
So where does scary come?
Right after Manning.
Right after Manning, and then it's true?
Yeah.
It's a story.
Yeah, I gotcha.
I gotcha.
They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose, and you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
It's scary.
That's true.
Okay, that's all I can do.
That's good enough.
I don't have octopus arms.
You want to tighten it up, people, do it yourself.
Just edit that out.
It'll be fine.
Greg Ulig in Pioneer, California.
$202.02.
I cannot find an email from an Ulig or anything that says subject line donation from anyone that would apply.
So $202.02 from Pioneer.
Jeffrey Madison in Hillard, Ohio is our last associate executive producer at $200.00.
First donation, no jingles.
Thank you.
Thank you, Jeffrey.
Thank you.
Now, I have a note here from the back office.
Sean McCune, who was an Insta Knight.
Now, did we Insta Knight him?
No.
I think we did, but I don't know if he had...
Anyway, here's what it says.
In the morning, happy anniversary, gentlemen.
I was insta-night on show 1288.
There you go, but you couldn't find the notes, so here it is again.
Podfathers, bless me, for I've committed an active insta-nightery to gentle my condition of douchebag-ness.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
And dub me Sir Sean of the Allahaney Valley.
And so what I shall do is...
Allegheny or Allegheny?
Allegheny, I'm sorry.
Allegheny Valley, since he's already been knighted as an instant knight, we are going to add, since he's already at the table, we're going to add ribs and Diet Cherry Pepsi at the round table for him.
You're going to do an upgrade for him for his title change?
It's not a title change.
He was already instanited.
Okay.
Well, that's just going to be his new title.
Yeah, that is his official title.
We repeat, he is hereby officially pronouncedicated as Sir Sean of the Allegheny Valley.
Done.
Well, you hit him with a sledgehammer.
Well, hey, he's a knight.
He can handle it.
I'm sure.
I'm sure he can handle this.
Alright, that's our group of executive, associate executive, producers, show 1290.
I want to thank each and every one of them for making this show possible.
The show would not be possible without you.
And thank you so much.
Um...
For doing the work, really.
And recognizing that this is an actual job.
You are now an executive producer, or perhaps an associate executive producer, of the best podcast in the universe.
No Agenda Show, episode 1290.
If anyone doubts you, just tell them to go see Dana's IMDB page.
And I'm pretty sure you could start one yourself now, just by referring to it as well.
And we'll be thanking more people who supported this program under our Value for Value proposition later on.
If you'd like to support us for Sunday's show, please go to our website with the easy-to-remember URL. And thank you for your time, your talent, and your treasure in the Value for Value Network.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water!
Order!
Shoot them in the lane!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
Do you have anything on Hunter Biden?
I think we should probably talk about that for a moment.
Oh, Hunter, Hunter.
The Biden gang?
It's a new gang now.
It's the Biden gang.
It's called the Biden crime family.
The Biden crime family.
I like that.
Yeah, that's what you look up.
If you want to go to Google and look up Biden crime family, you'll find all kinds of stuff.
So the Biden crime family.
This is very interesting.
Because this is something that the news media is not touching.
The only person who was of any note on mainstream, and please make no mistake, Fox News is mainstream, is Tucker Carlson, who interviewed this guy, Tony Bobulinski.
Hey, Tony!
Hey, Bobulinski!
Hey, Bobulinski!
A member of the Biden crime family, the Bobulinski here.
Who actually seems to be a fine, upstanding citizen when it comes to financial trickery.
But that hour long that Tucker interviewed him had 7.5 million people watching.
That is a blowout ratings number by any, any comparison.
I mean, he gets, I think, 3.5 to 4, maybe 4.5 million, which is already blowing out everybody else.
7.5 million.
And he can't get advertisers because they...
No, and it's still the MyPillow.
It's hilarious.
The MyPillow guy.
I think Verizon...
The MyPillow guy has got to be cleaning up with a cheap deal.
Oh, he's very, very, very successful.
He's doing very well with that.
But what is interesting about this obvious...
Well, there's two things that are interesting.
One is the ties to China, which I'll get to.
I only have two clips.
The first one is how the mainstream media in general is just...
Refusing to cover the story.
And to me it seems that's a win-win because right after the election, whether Joe Biden wins or loses, the Biden crime family is done for.
They're done for.
If Biden wins, he'll be arrested and thrown in jail with the whole Biden family and Kamala Harris will be president.
If he loses, what have they got to lose?
Throw the guy in jail.
They don't care.
He's useless to them.
So watch this old man, who I used to feel bad about.
I used to feel bad that they were abusing an elderly man.
Now I don't care.
Now the whole crime...
Have you seen his brother James?
What a shyster that guy looks like, huh?
I know the crime family.
He really...
He really does look like a gangster.
So, one of the best examples, and without a doubt, the Senate Intelligence Committee, the FBI have authenticated this laptop and the information on it, and it's very deep.
It's this very interesting, all kinds of ties to crazy countries where apparently, allegedly, they were running scams from Kazakhstan to Kazakhstan!
My God!
Kazakhstan!
There's a scam to be had there.
And there was a great interview between Liz Harrington.
I can never remember who she is, because she just looks like...
She looks actually a lot like that mousy woman from Code Pink.
What's her name?
You know what I mean?
Yes, what's her name?
What's her name?
Yeah, the Code Pink lady.
The Code Pink lady.
But this is the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee...
And she went head-to-head with the incredible international journalist, Christiane Ampoura!
Christiane Ampoura!
And it was just delicious.
Too delicious to believe.
I shall let it play.
That Rudolf Giuliani, that is the president's personal lawyer, was, quote, being used to feed Russian misinformation to the president.
Stop, stop, stop.
Wait, stop.
You have to start it over.
Why?
I want to point this.
I just want to point this little tidbit out.
A tidbit.
Over the Democrat way of doing this is Giuliani is always never described as the ex-mayor of New York or any major.
He was a major district attorney general.
He rolled up five crime families in New York.
He rolled up all the crime families.
Former mayor.
No, no, no, no.
He's not that.
No.
He is Donald Trump's personal attorney as though he's over at the house all the time.
This is bullshit.
That Rudolph Giuliani, that is the president's personal lawyer, was, quote, being used to feed Russian misinformation to the president.
Um, Giuliani met in December with somebody who the United States government believes is a Russian agent.
You know who I'm talking about, a Ukrainian parliamentarian by the name of Andre Deskats.
Um, are you comfortable with the President of the United States being close to a person like Rudy Giuliani who says also that he is not bothered whether any of the information comes from, um, from Russian hacking?
What does that say?
Are you comfortable that CNN used Russian disinformation from a Russian asset to leak it to subvert the peaceful transfer of power?
The reporting on the dossier, which was complete, verified Russian disinformation.
Is it not?
Is it not?
Liz, let's just get back to the story.
Was the dossier real?
Was the dossier real?
Oh, it's very relevant because everything that Democrats accused us of doing is what they themselves did.
We always try.
We've heard this smear very well before.
It's the United States government who said it.
Not me and not CNN. The United States government...
The FBI... Okay, you know what also the United States government says?
The FBI says this laptop is not Russian disinformation.
So what are you talking about here?
This laptop is real?
It's not just a laptop.
There's other emails.
There's text messages.
They are real.
So according to the U.S. government...
I know that you're trying to move everybody to look at that, but that's not what we're hearing from the FBI. Why don't we even report this?
This is one of the most powerful families in Washington.
The Biden family.
And you're okay?
You're okay with our interests being sold out to profit.
Joe Biden and his family, when we're suffering during a pandemic from communist China, he's doing shady business deals with communist China.
You're comfortable, okay?
As you know perfectly well, I'm a journalist and a reporter, and I follow the facts.
And there has never been any issues in terms of corruption.
Now, let me ask you this.
Yesterday, the FBI... Wait, wait, wait!
How do you know that?
I'm talking about reporting and any evidence.
I'm talking to you now...
Okay, I would love if you guys would start doing that digging and start doing that verification.
No, we're not going to do your work for you.
I want to ask you a question.
The FBI... It's a journalist's job.
It's a journalist's job to find out if this is verified.
I cannot believe...
Hey, Adam?
Yeah?
I'm not going to do your work for you.
No, man.
Who's the journalist?
The journalist says I'm not going to do your work for you.
She's a government person.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's really quite unbelievable.
And how do they get off saying this laptop, which is dropped off at a repair shop, is somehow in any way involved with Russian hacking?
Like, the Russians hacked the laptop?
Or what are they trying to say?
Well, they're basing that on the letter that the former intelligence officials, Brennan, Clapper, Morrell, et al., said, it looks like Russian information...
This information.
It looks like it.
This has all the whole...
Basically, our spooks saying, hey, that looks like the work of their spooks.
Come on, please.
Just so insulting.
You give my family a bad name, Brennan.
But...
One of the pieces that has not been discussed yet, I don't know, Tucker Carlson had this whole thing yesterday that they sent some documents through FedEx, I guess, and they arrived open and the documents were gone, and he's making a big deal out of it.
It's like, please don't tell me you had someone in New York send you original documents and there weren't copies.
That was kind of...
It had a bad taste to it.
But meanwhile, there's real stuff that is very interesting.
And this is the call about CEFC China Energy.
And this was a side deal that they were putting together.
This is what Tony Bobulinski said.
What he was working on.
And the CEFC China Energy is one of the main conduits for investments abroad for Belt and Road, for the actual Chinese strategy to take over the world.
We've only been following this for, I don't know, five, six years that we've been reporting on it.
So this very company...
They were cutting a side deal with, and apparently things started to get a little bit hot, and this is Hunter Biden on a phone call.
It's from his laptop.
Yes, it is.
I get calls from my father to tell me that the New York Times is calling, but my old partner Eric, who literally has done me harm for I don't know how long, is the one taking the calls because my father will not stop sending the calls to Eric.
I have another New York Times reporter calling about my representation of the, literally, Dr.
Patrick O, the fucking spy chief of China, who started the company that my partner, who was worth $323 billion, found in me.
And is now missing.
The richest man in the world is missing, who was my partner.
He was missing since I last saw him in his $58 million apartment and signed a $4 billion deal to be the fucking largest fucking LNG court in the world.
And I am receiving calls from the Southern District of New York, from the U.S. Attorney himself.
My best friend in business, Devin, has named me as a witness without telling me.
In a criminal case, and my father without telling me.
Now this was really interesting and I haven't heard anyone really delve into it.
Who he's talking about is Patrick Ho Ching-Pi, also known as Patrick Ho.
And Patrick Ho joined the Chinese People's Political Consultive Conference and Preparatory Committee of Hong Kong and later became the chairman of the CEFC. And he was arrested in the United States for bribery and money laundering in 2017.
In 2018, he was convicted on seven accounts of bribery and money laundering following a federal trial.
He was imprisoned.
He was supposed to get three years.
He was fined $400,000.
Interestingly, he was let out on good behavior altogether.
In June of this year, on the 18th, on the 20th, he was already back in China, and after that, he went missing.
And that's what Hunter is all freaked out about, because the guy that he was doing the deal with went missing.
So you've got to think that he's dead now.
And to hear that they were involved in an LNG, liquid natural gas, which is what we are now exporting, I mean, this family is truly, truly, horribly corrupt.
I'm reminded of a clip from about six years ago.
It was right in the middle of the Obama administration.
Probably, he got in in 2008.
It was probably around 2010.
Okay.
And it was a couple of black guys talking about something or other.
And one of them casually said, no, no, you don't miss with Joe Biden.
Joe Biden's actually the kingpin.
You don't want to.
He's the guy you want to stay away from.
He's dangerous.
And this clip was like, it's just a throwaway.
And it was like, yeah, kind of kind of reaction to it.
But the more you look at it.
It could be.
I mean, that whole area, Delaware, Rhode Island, there's a type of mobster there that's a lot different than the New York, Chicago type gangs.
Delaware is America's post office, basically.
It's like every company is registered in Delaware because there's no taxes.
There's all kinds of other groovy things.
I'm looking for it.
I don't see anything...
It was not a named clip.
It was just in a clip.
Oh, okay.
So there's no way of finding it.
Sorry.
So to remind everybody, a lot of the big push, and this is Steve Bannon, because if you want some dirt done, you've got to get the slimy, dirty guy, and I have total respect for what he's doing in this case.
And he's backed by the Chinese billionaire dissident Guo, I think his name is.
And he also runs the GNews.org.
People are saying, what is this crazy Chinese site?
Yeah, that's GNews.
That is the site which I think is probably managed by Bannon.
But they're now talking and explaining what these two strategies are.
So we have the Belt and Road Strategy, that's known.
But the Chinese strategy, there are two with which they're going to take over the world and apparently with the United States first.
It is the GBY and the 3F. So the GBY strategy is, or I should say BGY, I'm sorry.
I thought it was GBY. It's BGY. BGY. B is for blue, which means they need to control the internet and the media.
Well, they're doing pretty well.
They got the media.
But there's big investment in Twitter.
Mark Zuckerberg is married to a Chinese-American, speaks Mandarin.
Zuckerberg speaks Mandarin.
So there's all kinds of Chinese talk going on there.
And we know what Google's been doing in China, so there's internet control too.
And then G, gold and influence, make sure you bribe media officials, etc.
And Y is yellow, and yellow stands for the honeypots in which they compromise officials, and apparently members of the Biden crime family.
But the specific strategy for the United States is the 3F strategy.
F stands for, the 3F is for foment weakness, Foment chaos.
Foment the destruction of America.
You know, it's funny that you bring this up when Christopher Wray just busted a bunch of Chinese.
And I thought it got short shrift in the media.
These are the guys they arrested.
Don't you think?
Yeah, who did they arrest?
They brought in, I think, five guys.
I think the two guys just fled to China.
And these were guys that were floating around the United States.
They're actually Chinese spies that were going from one Chinese dissident to another, many of whom are U.S. citizens at this point, and told them they're going to go kill their parents.
This was talked about by Pompeo.
Oh, right, right, right.
And they wrapped up a bunch of these guys and busted the little crime syndicate that they had formed.
And this got, you know, in the Associated Press, it was really downplayed everywhere.
It was just here and there.
It was not in the network news because I didn't see it on NBC, CBS, or ABC. Right.
Oh, no, of course not.
But here's something else I'd like to bring to your attention, which you may be able to help with, since I was a little bit too young to really...
I was in the wrong country, too.
During the 50s and 60s, this is around the time when the Chinese started the Great Leap Forward.
Do you recall the three red banners?
It's also known as the Three Red Flags.
It was kind of the general line for socialist construction.
Yeah, no, I don't, but all I remember is the Little Red Book, and that's about as far as I get.
Okay, so from Wikipedia, the Three Red Banners was an ideological slogan in the late 1950s which called on the Chinese people to build a socialist state.
The three red banners, also called the three red flags, consisted of the general line for socialist construction, which was the Great Leap Forward, and the people's communes.
So this literally was three red stripes as a signal.
Now I would like for you just a moment to visualize the Biden-Harris logo.
You may want to look it up.
I've been forgetting to bring this to the show for the past three episodes.
Do you see the Biden-Harris logo?
No, I don't.
Go to a web browser.
I hear Netscape is pretty nifty.
Do I have to make it myself?
Biden-Harris logo.
Well, there's a lot of them.
Oh, you're talking about the E in Biden.
Yes, hello!
Oh, that's very cool.
These guys, see, they're not hiding it.
They're not hiding it.
Oh, that is, you know, that's fabulous.
That's clip of the day.
Oh, there's no clip.
Oh, well.
Oh, well.
So...
There's a coffee mug that just says Joe and it's got the three red flags.
Oh yeah, it's everywhere.
Oh, I gotta get this coffee mug.
I'm not paying this kind of money for a coffee mug.
It's...
You know, the whole enemy is just an aside here.
If anybody has gone...
I got a bunch of Trump stuff too from the guys in Las Vegas and I didn't get a note from them.
But...
Have you noticed, if you go to these websites where they sell Trump stuff, the hats, the mugs, all the flags, and the Biden site, the Trump stuff is cheap.
I mean, they're going a lost leader.
Yeah, they are.
The Biden stuff is overpriced.
There's a poster, $17 for a yard.
You should be giving those away.
$25 for a mug.
Give me a break.
A button.
Obama started that.
A bumper sticker, $11.
Give me $11 for a bumper sticker?
Do you remember I had to buy the Obama bumper sticker from my neighbor in San Francisco?
And she charged me $20 for it.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Your neighbor that was trying to get you in the sack.
Until she found out that I was...
Until she heard the show.
She never talked to me again.
I'm sorry.
If I recall, that's not how it went.
You were trying to get me to get her in the sack.
Well, you can change it all you want.
Oh, man!
Okay.
Alright, fine.
You're going on and on about this babe.
It was not a babe.
She was an Obama bot.
Yeah, that's what it turned out.
Okay.
No, she went to camp.
That's what it was.
She went to Obama camp.
Oh, yes.
She went to the camp where they brainwashed you into being good bots.
Where they learn.
Yeah, they learn to overcharge for their mugs.
And $20 for the bumper sticker.
It's a scam.
Well, that's why they're doing it.
When I was a kid, all bumper stickers were free.
And they never came off your car.
They'd rip off.
They'd ruin the paint.
Actually, the newer ones are the ones that have that issue.
They do that, too.
They do that, too.
Well, one quick thing on the side.
Are you done with that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just want people to keep their eye on China.
Never take your eye off the ball.
Those guys are crazy.
They're out to get us.
They're out to get us!
So do you have any clips with Tucker and Boogaloo?
No.
No.
I mean, it's...
Oh, I thought you did.
No, I don't either.
No, I don't have any questions.
All right, well, I want to do a rundown on the election real quick.
Yeah, let's do this.
Let's do the Halle Jackson Trump rap and slam on NBC. A Western wild card in play for both campaigns tonight in Battleground, Arizona.
A state president Trump won in 2016, but this year, polls show he's trailing, damaged by how he's handled the coronavirus.
It's enough.
It's time to change.
Joe Biden, before voting early in Delaware, blasting a White House press release listing as one of the president's top science and technology accomplishments, ending the COVID-19 pandemic.
It's an insult to every single person suffering from COVID-19 and every family who's lost a loved one.
The White House acknowledging the release was poorly worded with the pandemic far from over.
Now, more cases in more places than in the spring.
That's when, according to new audio released by CNN, the president's advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, told author Bob Woodward in April the country was starting its comeback phase.
We've now put out rules to get back to work.
Trump's now back in charge.
It's not the doctors.
They've kind of, we have like a negotiated settlement.
President Trump at his rally, Oh, look at that, look, look, look.
Pointing out a flare from a fighter jet meant to warn a small plane out of the restricted airspace.
He's also defending how he's handled the coronavirus.
But politically, the pandemic's haunting him.
I can't understand the things that he's saying that just don't seem to make sense, particularly about the whole COVID thing.
In Nebraska, it's a different medical issue that has the Trump campaign undershoot me after a rally in Omaha last night.
Seven people taken to the hospital as hundreds waited for buses for hours in the freezing cold, with the campaign blaming local road closures and congestion for delays.
And tonight, a years-long Washington guessing game came to a close when Miles Taylor revealed himself as the anonymous official behind an explosive 2018 op-ed about resistance inside the Trump administration.
Taylor was chief of staff to the former Homeland Security Secretary.
All right.
Two things need to be discussed.
Yes.
One, the hundreds of Trump supporters stuck in the freezing cold, I am totally convinced, was a Democratic op.
It was a dirty trick.
I have proof.
You drive a bunch of old people and buses.
You say, let's go.
We're going to take all you old people.
We're going to take you to Omaha for the big rally.
No, no.
It was totally bullcrap.
I have proof.
One of our producers, who was boots on the ground, sent me two clips.
Okay, let's listen to those clips.
So the first clip, just to set the stage, because you're right, it was a Democratic bullcrap move, was the Morning Joe's.
President Trump made a campaign swing through the Midwest yesterday, holding rallies with packed crowds in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska.
Super spreader events all over the country.
She's a super spreader!
He's killing his own voters!
By the way, do they have t-shirts?
Super spreaders?
I'm sure.
Super spreader 2020?
I mean, he's a human super spreader.
Look at this.
Maybe that's it.
Maybe it's the human super spreader 2020 campaign tour.
I survived the super spreader tour of 2020.
Unless you didn't.
You have a ventilator on the back.
Literally, unless you didn't.
You know, it'd actually be a time of joking in this show right now if it wasn't so unbelievably true and not funny.
He wrapped up his rally in Omaha, Nebraska last night.
Hundreds of supporters were, though, left behind in nearly freezing temperatures.
Sounds like a rapture.
For hours.
Like a rapture.
With no transportation.
You've been left behind.
They were bussed in and then left there.
Trump departed Omaha on Air Force One around 9 p.m.
So he flew out on his presidential jet.
Very comfortable in there with the refrigerator and people serving him up.
He could wash his hands 50 times.
After the rally, attendees began lining up for buses.
Because they were bussed in, so they figured they'd be bussed out, right, to return to their cars.
These supporters, many of them were elderly.
Okay, so first of all, if they weren't serious, it would be a pretty funny segment.
I mean, we could have literally come up with the Super Spreader 2020 tour.
In fact, I'd love to have that because we did our own Super Spreader event.
But our producer, Boots on the Ground in Omaha, of course, had his eyes and ears open and said, well, maybe you should listen to the report from a local television station.
Omaha police say after the rally, many people decided to walk back to the parking area instead of waiting for a bus.
They may have underestimated how far they had to walk.
With people walking about two and a half miles to get to their cars, people waiting on buses, cars moving out, and security restrictions, the area was congested.
On top of that, the mayor says more people showed up than expected.
They estimated about 10,000 people last night.
They checked, security checked 22,000, and then they left thousands outside the gate that never got in.
Officials say the buses were delayed and people had to wait to get back to their cars.
Police tell us there were about a half dozen supporters who were transported to hospitals for a variety of medical reasons.
But Aerostageline officials say no one was left stranded after the rally.
We 100% did not leave anybody stranded.
Our motor coaches were running until the lots were empty.
So, first of all, what they're really obfuscating We're 25,000 people!
Yeah.
25,000!
I don't care what they tell me.
I don't care what you say about polls.
It is...
I know the American public because I picked the hits for them.
I picked the Billboard Hot 100 Hits for the American people, and I know what they like.
And I'm telling you right now, Electoral College and popular vote, massive landslide.
Well, it should be.
It should be.
Who the hell wants to vote for a decrepit Joe Biden?
But that's okay.
Let me go back to this issue.
NBC played this up in this huge article.
And I'm looking at the article with hundreds of Trump supporters stuck on freezing cold Omaha airfield after rally.
Seven taken to hospitals.
And then it's by Jeff Bennett, Adela Suman, and Carolyn Radnovsky.
So I always look at who are these writers.
Who are these writers?
Yeah.
Now wait a minute.
They wrote the story about this thing in Omaha.
Are they local reporters?
No.
Jeff Bennett, he's a White House correspondent.
He works in Washington, D.C. Why is he doing this story?
Okay, well, maybe the two women, they have a better shot at it.
They're going to be there, right?
Yeah.
Adela Suleiman is a London-based reporter for NBC News Digital.
They had three people working on this story.
None of them were in Omaha.
And then Caroline Radnovsky.
Caroline Radnovsky is a senior reporter for NBC News social news gathering.
The social news gathering team based in London.
That means she trolls Twitter.
Yeah, that's basically what it means.
Trolls Twitter.
So she trolled Twitter and got the story.
This is shameful journalism.
It's fantastic.
Onward, with the Hallie Jackson report, she does mention this guy Miles Taylor.
Yes, yes.
This was very surprising, as you were pretty sure it was John Bolton.
Well, I thought John...
No, I thought there was a book that came out by Anonymous that I thought that book...
No, I'm sorry.
Yes, we both...
Actually, I thought it was John Bolton.
Yes.
Because John Bolton was in the position where he could write such a thing.
This guy is working for Department of Homeland Security.
He's not in the meetings with Trump.
No.
He probably never met Trump.
Hold on, hold on.
He was kind of the chief of staff for...
Who was the blondie who ran the DHS? Kirsten.
Kirsten.
Nielsen.
Kirsten Nielsen.
And I can see where if you're in the inner circle, you pick a lot of stuff up.
He probably didn't witness any of this stuff happening.
He didn't witness anything.
And by the way, wouldn't the New York Times have to now say, yes, we knew it was him?
Because they made it sound like it was a high-end official.
Yeah, it's not a high-end official at all.
But what I'm saying is, didn't the New York Times, at the time they published this anonymous letter, they said they knew who it was.
They made it sound like it was Bolton.
But they said they knew who it was, correct?
Yeah.
So they need to now go on the record and say, yes, that's who we knew who it was.
So that they can look like the heels they are.
Yes.
According to you, he gets an interview with Chris Cuomo.
Chris Cuomo.
And this is...
I only took a minute out of it, a minute and a half, because this is dumb.
But this is the Miles Taylor interview with Chris Cuomo.
This guy's a douchebag, this Miles Taylor.
This is Miles' first TV interview since revealing he was the person behind the pen more than two years ago when he turned the White House upside down with that now infamous Trump resistance op-ed and subsequent book warning about the president's unfitness for office.
The former Chief of Staff at Homeland Security under Secretary Nielsen was a very big and inside position.
What did Anonymous and others actually stop from happening?
How worried was he and were others in-house?
How many are still there?
Insight into why Biden is hitting the notes that he is in this campaign, especially in the final week.
And also, why did Miles Taylor conduct himself the way he has?
Let's start there.
Miles Taylor, thank you for taking the opportunity.
Hey, Chris, as always, thank you for having me.
All right.
First, what matters most, certainly to me.
You lied to us, Miles.
You were asked in August if you were anonymous here on CNN with Anderson Cooper, and you said no.
Now, why should CNN keep you on the payroll after lying like that?
What?!
It's a great question.
What?
What?
When I published a warning, I said in the book that if asked, I would strenuously deny I was the author.
And here's the reason.
Because the things I said in that book were ideas that I wanted Donald Trump to challenge on their merits.
We have seen over the course of four years that Donald Trump's preference is to find personal attacks and distractions to pull people away from criticisms of his record.
I wrote that work anonymously to deprive him of that opportunity and to force him to answer the questions on their merits.
And I'll tell you what happened, Chris.
The end result is the president couldn't.
Okay, no matter what, you deserve this one.
Clip of the day.
You made it clip of the day, actually, with your crazy-ass editing, but I just want to go back to the pertinent part in this clip.
All right.
First, what matters most, certainly to me.
You lied to us, Miles.
You were asked in August if you were anonymous here on CNN with Anderson Cooper, and you said no.
Now, why should CNN keep you on the payroll after lying like that?
Wow.
He's on the CNN payroll.
That's mind-boggling for now.
He's still on the payroll.
Of course he is.
So this guy's got a very checkered past.
He's a Republican, you know, he says, but he's a rhino of all sorts, you know, the classic nature.
Once he quit the Department of Homeland Security after his book deal, which probably got him a good...
He'll probably have another book now, won't he?
I don't know.
Now that you know who he is, he's just a dud.
But he went right immediately to Google.
He's at Google.
No.
Yeah, and then he went to Google, I'm sorry, then in August 2020, while on leave from Google, he started, he produced an ad for Republican voters against Trump, denouncing Trump and endorsing Joe Biden.
Taylor was the first former senior, and then he went back to Google as far as I know.
Ah, that's great.
That's great.
You got me on that one.
That was good.
That was very good.
I do have a bit of material from the president, a shorty.
I thought this was...
Okay, because I have two clips from the President that are interesting.
Okay, this is just a short humor, especially because we know about this particular machine.
A lot of plants.
You hear that jet?
You hear that?
That's a brand new, beautiful F-35 jet.
That's why you can't see it.
That's super stealth.
Super stealth because it's a piece of crap.
Is there actually a jet there or is he just pointing at something empty?
No, you heard a jet go by.
Oh yes, the jet go by.
He went by and he's like, you hear that?
Yeah, it's stealth.
You can't see it.
Yeah, it's stealth.
We can hear it.
I mean, I get the joke.
I think it's great.
I think it's great.
Most people are not...
He's lying.
It's a raptor.
So he was getting...
He did his third bit in Arizona.
I don't know where he started, but he ended up in Phoenix at the Goodyear place.
And he, for the first time, he started bringing people up.
Oh, yeah.
What's up with this?
This is new.
And so he brought up Rand Paul, who did a great job, and then he brought up Mike Lee, who I want to play last, and then they brought...
Because Mike Lee is unbelievable.
Who's Mike Lee again?
Mike Lee is that guy from Utah, the very thoughtful, conservative guy.
He was a never-Trumper in 2016.
He hated Trump.
He's from Utah.
Was he a senator?
Yeah, he's a senator.
He's a major, major combative senator.
If you look him up, you can do it.
Oh yeah, Mike Shumway.
You know, hello, I'm going to tell you some stuff.
So meanwhile, he brings up Nigel Farage.
So I want to play bringing up Faraj, then you're going to hear something.
Come on up, Nigel.
He's a very non-controversial person too, right?
Come on, Nigel.
He's very shy.
Yeah, sure.
Oh, I'm non-controversial and shy.
Compared to you.
I've got to say, four years ago, I was honoured to come to America to bring the Brexit message.
The message that you can beat the establishment.
And that is what Donald Trump did.
He beat the pollsters.
He beat the media.
He beat all the predictions.
And here's the worst bit.
They've never forgiven him for it.
They've never, ever forgiven him.
They have spent four years trying to delegitimize him.
Four years of the Russia hoax.
Four years of a false impeachment.
Most human beings under that barrage would have given up.
This is...
The single most resilient and bravest person I have ever met in my life!
Alright.
Anyway, it goes on.
It was entertaining, but...
Mike Lee.
So you see this guy, you've seen him in decent hearings all the time.
Yeah, he's kind of milquetoasty.
He's a slow-talking guy.
He's a milquetoasty.
Yeah, milquetoast.
So he brings up Mike Lee, and now you realize that what you see in those situations is not the guy out campaigning.
Mike Lee, they bring him up.
I don't even think Trump expected this.
He's in Arizona, brings the house down.
USA! USA! Great job, Grant.
Thank you very much.
We have another great senator from the state of Utah.
And he is a smart one, he's a good one, he's a respected one.
Mike Lee, come on up.
Come on.
Come on, Mike.
The man from Atlantis?
Four more years.
I got that one Viva Don't Tron To my Catholic friends Think about a couple of things As you approach the ballot And your friends do Think about Amy Coney Barrett and think about the Little Sisters of the Pole.
To my Protestant and Evangelical friends, we have to remember that it's by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we've had four years of prosperity and peace.
To my Mormon friends, my Latter-day Saint friends, think of him as Captain Neroni.
He seeks not power to pull it down.
He seeks not the praise of the world or the fake news, but he seeks the well-being and the peace of the American people.
Are you ready to stand with me and millions and millions of others who want four more years?
Cuatro años más!
Yeah, this is a real thing.
Um, Jose.
Betty's Jose.
I asked him again today, actually.
He said, oh man.
Because they live in Round Rock.
Georgetown, Round Rock.
The Hispanic men are going out with their trucks and Trump flags and they're doing spontaneous parades.
He says they're all in.
And this is, you know, Mexican-Americans.
Yeah.
This is all in.
And it's interesting just that NPR had an interesting story.
I wish there was audio of it.
The headline is, Trump has weaponized masculinity as president.
Here's why it matters.
And I'm going to tell you right now, that's exactly why he's going to win.
Because he's awakened the black American man, the brown American man, a lot of the white American men.
And I think it's a good thing, you know, if we can get beyond this patriarchy bullcrap and figure out the right model with each other, which I think is the male-female model, personally, but yin and yang, baby.
Well, I will say that I was stunned by Mike Lee and his Spanish isn't bad.
Sounds fantastic.
I could understand it.
He screams it.
He screams it just like it.
I'm thinking, wow, I should put an echo behind this.
It's not like Mexican radio.
Oh, that's so interesting you bring that up.
It must have been Sunday night, and there was some party going on.
You know where the apartments are, the Section 8?
It's not far behind our house.
And they were blasting music, and from time to time, they'd really make it loud, which is okay.
You know, I don't mind that.
But there's something about Mexican culture, just like the radio.
Even when they turned up the music on the speakers, it was...
They love that sound.
They just love the sound.
They love it.
We could be on Mexican radio in a heartbeat.
Oh yeah, with your gear?
With my gear and your pipes, baby, we're golden!
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.

His note was lost and he went unknighted.

No.

No Agenda Meetups!
Party's being had all over the globe with the No Agenda Meetups.
You go to noagendameetups.com.
You can find one that's taking place near you.
And we have a couple of reports.
Here's one from Denver.
Coming to you from the meetup formerly known as the Denver City Park Sit-In, I'm John, and we're here at an unnamed bar in Denver, Colorado with less than 10 people.
It's been a great meetup.
Plenty of like-minded individuals here.
Expect everybody to show up next meetup.
Thanks for coming today.
And this is Emily.
And that was Marcus.
And this is Tacos.
The next meetup will be a nice Thanksgiving one.
Boogity, boogity, amen!
Jim was here.
Martin was here.
It was like a party.
It still is a party.
See you next time.
You know, you just want to be there when you hear that, don't you?
I'm sure it was fun.
You just want to hang out.
We had also, we have a report from the Arlington.
This is Spook City.
Hey, John and Adam.
Hey, this is Sir William at the Arlington Meetup.
Just wanted to tell John, Zephyr is Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
Train's good, plane's bad.
Hey, it's DC Girl, proudly not appearing on the Hunter Biden laptop.
ITM, it's Rob Case here.
Thanks, John and Adam.
This is Pierre from Petrus Theory Astrology, boring everybody with the layout of the planets for the upcoming election.
Hey guys, my name's Peter, an invite from a dear friend of mine.
I have no idea what the hell I'm doing here, and I will start looking into podcasts since I invented the internet with Al Gore.
Thank you.
Hi, it's Bob from Annapolis.
Thank you for your courage, and I ask you to spot the spook.
This is not that Chris, not that Sir Chris, and I am here, but I'm not nearly as funny because I don't drink anymore.
This is Bongo Boy.
I am drinking right now.
I'm here in, as my wife called it, podcast land today, and I'm happy to be out again with everybody in the morning.
In the morning!
That's just a bunch of people who sound happy to be alive.
I'd love to go to the Arlington meetup and spot the spook.
Well, I always thought it was D.C. Girl.
I'll bet you there were two of them.
Yeah, I always thought it was D.C. Girl, but I think it was the guy, maybe the podcast land guy.
I think it was the guy telling me about the frequency of the Zephyr.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
Because he's giving, you know, he's like, these guys are information oriented.
Because that's when they scan you, right?
When the Zephyr goes by your house, they're scanning you?
They send a beam up.
Who knows?
We've got a couple of meetups on the way this Friday in Bellingham, Washington at Spooky Town.
No, there's a twin sister brewery.
That will be the Spooky Times Meetup 730.
Saturday, El Dia de los Muertos, Flight 008, Long Beach, California, 3.33 p.m.
at Steelcraft City of Long Beach.
Also on Saturday, Knuckleheads Halloween Takeover, Kansas City, Missouri, 3.33 in the afternoon at the Knuckleheads Saloon.
Next, or this upcoming Sunday, Tiny Amigdalas of Anchorage.
It's been so long since I've been to Anchorage.
One o'clock Alaska time.
It's the pre-election meetup at the Firetap Ale House.
I think that's where I was at the Firetap Ale House, actually.
It's also like a club, I think.
Can I make it admission?
Yeah.
Alaska's the only state in the Union I've never been to.
Wow.
I've only been there once, and it was an overnight.
I haven't even done a toe tap.
And I went from there...
To New Orleans.
That was a weird trip.
I would like to go from there to Vladivostok.
That's another place I've always been to see.
Here's what I remember.
And I think it was the weirdest thing.
I got there kind of late.
I had to do an appearance at this club, I think, for the bad radio station in Alaska.
And I remember in this club, it was like five beautiful women to every guy.
Now, this is the 90s, but there was just a lack of men.
And it was crazy.
Anyway, maybe it's that way.
I don't know if it is anymore.
So, finally, Philadelphia, also on Sunday, Local 76.
Get out the hoax.
Slavery for President 2020.
Okay, at the Good Dog Bar at 6 o'clock.
And then we have upcoming, of course, we have...
The virtual election meetup, which will be November 3rd.
I think that's over at NoAgendaSocial.com.
And we have a live election watch party on Bunker Hill, Illinois.
So that's coming up for Election Day.
And those are the meetups, well, at least the meetups that I have for now.
If you want to find out if there's one coming up near you, we've got a great site, Sir Neil, our knight, who put that together.
I think it's Neil.
I think it's Neil.
We'll put that together for us over at noagendameetups.com, noagendameetups.com.
Find one near you, and if not, then just start your own.
You're going to have a good time.
It's like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the knights 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.
Now, I only have one...
Alert the affiliates, we're long.
I only have one more clip I want to play, and then whatever else you have, we can do.
Well, I have a couple things to go by.
Okay.
I do have one...
I have a couple different...
I have some classics I wanted to play that marked our 13th anniversary.
I got some 2009-2010 clips, a couple oldies that bring back memories.
Okay.
And I also have...
I can play this on Sunday, which is Mindy Robinson bitching about the...
Ballots all over Nevada floating around, the mail-in thing screwing up, and that got her kicked off Twitter for a while, I believe, or Facebook.
Oh, my.
That's kind of interesting.
But play what you're doing, and then I'll...
Oh, and I also have the clip of Chuck Todd on a sports show.
Going on and on about...
This is actually a good clip to play, except it's two minutes.
I'd just rather play the next Sunday shows before the election.
It'll be better.
I'll play it then.
But I want to play these classics.
Alright, so why don't we do a classic, my clip, and then a classic, and we're out.
I have four classics.
Yeah, but you only get three hours and 11 minutes.
I mean, what's going to happen?
You're going to say, how long was the show?
And I'll say, it was like eight hours, and you'll be mad at me.
It's nine seconds.
I know, but they gave us credit for being a three and a half hour long show.
Okay, well then we got to go.
Podcast Business Report.
Did you see that?
We got Broadcast Business Report?
No, Podcasting Business Journal.
Oh yeah, we got a nice shout out.
We got a shout out on Pod News as well.
Pod News.
Yeah, Pod News.
Hey, Pod News is the shizzle.
That's James Cridland.
He's in Australia.
Pod News is pretty good.
I like Pod News.
Well, let's start with this one now.
Let's start with this 2000.
This is from 10 years ago.
Uh-oh.
And I want to ask people out there, if it was getting so bad 10 years ago, whatever, you know, we talk about the news media being up full of crap.
Whatever happened to this story and the way it was played, if you recall, months on end, the classic bedbugs attack.
Sorry, I thought you were going for a different clip.
Yes, this was classic.
Coming up, it's a feeding frenzy on the move.
Bed bugs are giving people nightmares.
Over the last ten years, their population has been exploding.
Tonight, we know why the insects are crawling out of beds and into movie theaters and classrooms and more.
Man, wasn't there enough...
Day after day of bedbugs showing up in classy New York hotels.
Oh, it was non-stop reporting on bedbugs.
And then it just went silent.
Yeah.
And if you listen to the beginning of that report, it said, well, the last 10 years they've been tripling and quadrupling.
They should have taken over by now.
But no, we don't even hear about them.
They should be running the joint.
Okay, before you play your clip, let's just play this little shorty.
This is the classic humor Hyundai.
Of all the things that are changing lately, Hyundai Assurance has remained rock solid and gotten even better because now it gives you something else.
Gas.
I don't remember that.
We used to do more of that than we do now.
Well, it was a slow news day, apparently.
Yeah.
No, I got a...
It's a minute 20.
And this is...
I want to play this because a lot of people don't understand how polling works in America, what polling is, how accurate they are.
Now, we know that the last time polls were predicting something was the 2016 election, and it was pretty clear there was no path...
For Trump, 99% certain Hillary was going to win, and all the polls showed it.
No path to victory!
No agenda rule is.
The closer you are to the actual election day, the closer the polls draw together because of advertising.
Now...
Obviously you want to have a horse race and make it all exciting and keep people watching, but this year is different.
This year they've gone all out.
I even heard Minnesota Joe Biden ahead of Trump by 15 points.
It's over for Trump.
Now, in this case, I'm just skeptical because, remember America, I pick your hits.
And it just doesn't feel right to me that there's that kind of difference.
And I also, if you recall, in 2016 said this guy's going to win.
And I said it in 2015.
I said it very early on, I think.
So here's a clip of the polls and polling in general that has changed dramatically in the past 10 years and really started its erosion of what it is started much longer ago.
And I've heard many people say, well, you know, people are being polled.
They're afraid to say they're going to vote one way or the other.
You know, they don't really want to be truthful.
This is Robert Barnes.
And I'm not quite sure why he's on the podcast circuit, but he is.
He is the lawyer who represented the Covington kids, if you recall, who are now getting, you know, the Covington kids.
They're getting big.
They're getting cash.
Yeah, $100, $200, $300 million because of the slander of these schoolboys.
And so he answered the question, and it was a long interview.
It was on a podcast.
Let me see.
What's the name of this podcast I want to tell everybody?
The gaggle.
The gaggle!
That's what it was.
On the gaggle.
Why polls are no longer accurate.
The problem is since 2010, people quit answering polls.
So we went from like a 50% response rate down to a 2% response rate.
For folks out there, that means 98% of the people who are asked to participate in a poll refused to do so.
As Pew Foundation identified 10 years ago, they said that means we no longer have random sampling.
And if you no longer have random sampling, that means you're no longer getting representative sampling.
And the best example of this right now is the New York Times.
They said this is how many people said they've already voted, and here's what the Democratic margin is.
Well, the polls are wrong in every single state, and they're wrong by an average of 25 points.
In other words, they were predicting 50-point Democrats.
The University of New Hampshire said that there's an 80-point lead by Democrats in the early vote.
Well, we have the early vote data from Democratic vote modelers who have the data and the information.
They say it's about a 20-point lead.
In Michigan and Wisconsin, the New York Times said that the Democrats were up by 40 to 50 points.
It's dead even amongst the early vote.
So we already know their polling was wrong.
And to give you an idea of how significant that is, Biden's entire lead in all of these New York Times polls was amongst people who said they had already voted.
He had no lead amongst those who hadn't voted.
Those are the core problems with polling fundamentally.
They're the least reliable form of data.
I thought that was good.
If that's the way to end the show, I've got no more clips.
Okay, I'll take it.
So bear that in mind, everybody.
And coming up on noagendastream.com, that Larry show, who will be busting the big lie.
That's what that Larry does on that Larry show.
We've got end-of-show mixes.
A couple nice ones here.
We've got Tom Starkweather.
We've got Dark Docs with a cutie.
And the always effervescent and classic Jesse Coy Nelson.
Always bringing us something great.
And I am coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State.
It's Opportunity Zone 33 here in Austin, Texas.
Tima Region No.
6 if you're looking forward on the governmental maps.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley.
Where everybody's predicting doom.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday, right here on No Agenda.
Thank you very much for producing, for bringing us your value, for the value we brought to you, and your time, your talent, and your treasure.
So remember us at dvorak.org slash NA. Until Sunday, everybody!
Adios, mofos!
And, and, and, and, and, sick as such.
