	I need a goat bong.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, December 7th, 2020.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1307.
	This is No Agenda.
	Completely baseless and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I can give you yesterday's Zephyr Report, because it's fascinating.
	I'm John C. DeVores.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Well, let's not waste any time.
	Give us that Zephyr Report.
	Ladies and gentlemen, Squawk Box, CNBC, stand by.
	Here it comes.
	Seven-car Zephyr, moderates to high speed, with a private car attached at the end.
	Eight cars total.
	Eight cars, really?
	Nine?
	That means we're on the up.
	The economy's got to be going one way.
	That way is up only.
	Ladies and gentlemen, that's your Zephyr report, your economic status based upon the Zephyr train in California.
	Bitcoin, $26,681.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	Alright, you're up to speed.
	We can leave.
	It's done.
	Great show.
	We can make it a regular-sized show today.
	I don't know, man.
	We gotta talk about Nashville.
	Okay, well, I have a round-up clip for Nashville, and I'm sure you have more details.
	And I assume that you would, because your timing is, I'm in bed while you're researching.
	I think we have the same PBS report, that's what you're referring to?
	The one from Saturday, with the black guy?
	The new guy?
	Yeah, what's his name again?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, no, no, no, I have his name.
	Hold on a second.
	His name is...
	No, I don't have his name.
	Yeah, I think it's this guy.
	Law enforcement authorities in Nashville told the Associated Press this afternoon that they have identified a person of interest in yesterday's explosion.
	Local and federal agents are still piecing together details from the downtown Nashville explosion Christmas morning.
	At an early afternoon news conference today, law enforcement officials did not name any suspects or people of interest.
	At this point, we don't have any indication that we are looking for another subject, but again, there's 500 leads we're running through, so there's all kinds of individuals we're looking for.
	Police emergency communications across Tennessee and Kentucky remain out of service because of the proximity of an AT&T facility to the explosion and a fire that restarted last night.
	The blast damaged at least 41 buildings.
	Today, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee asked the White House for a disaster declaration to help with the recovery.
	Law enforcement officials say the blast, which originated in a recreational vehicle parked on the street, was intentional.
	Three people were hurt and are being treated at local hospitals.
	In addition, police said they found tissue at the scene that could be human remains.
	The FBI is leading the investigation with the ATF and Nashville Metro Police.
	Oh, man, this was so good.
	That guy's name, by the way, is Michael Hill.
	Oh, I thought it was Richard Jewell.
	No, not at all.
	So, we have a lot of producers living in Tennessee, Nashville in particular.
	Yes, we do.
	And quite a number of dudes named Ben.
	So, the reports came streaming in very quickly.
	And I want to share the one that came in from Sir Patrick Coble, first off.
	Now, Sir Patrick Coble, who is the Duke of the South, he's a penetration expert.
	And he knows a lot about the different facilities, and this is what everyone is focused on.
	It wasn't really the AT&T building, but it was around the corner from the AT&T building, and this is where an interesting data facility was housed.
	So I'll read this from Sir Patrick Kobold.
	He says he's been there a couple of times.
	Most of the equipment in there was AT&T's own equipment.
	They did have some co-location spaces, but that wasn't the primary goal of the building.
	Its primary purpose was aggregation of the fiber and copper lines from the phone and their internet lines.
	They have a lot of dark fiber in Nashville they lease out that is terminated within that building.
	Location is important because there are three interstates intersecting there, I-40, I-65, and I-24.
	There are many fiber strands that run down those interstates that were extended and then terminated in that building.
	This is the best target for communication impact.
	The other would have been their corporate office if they wanted to kill more people, but with COVID it would have been known to be closed as they're working from home.
	It also has a guard shack.
	The state of Tennessee, well, some of the, here it is.
	they would have a guard shack at 444 Franklin Road.
	It's not on Google Maps.
	It's blurred out because it's their corporate standard for obfuscation.
	The state of Tennessee, where some election data will be held, are in three locations, state corporate offices downtown, the Smyrna main data center, and another data center west of downtown.
	So there's no access to the site as of yet.
	Here's an interesting little nuance, because things didn't go out right away, and there's a lot of question about redundancy.
	As many dudes named Ben wrote in, you'd be surprised how much redundancy is funneled through the same conduit, like two fibers coming in through the same hole in the building is really quite weak.
	But nothing really went out until a couple hours after the explosion.
	And as Sir Patrick says, the attack was earlier in the morning, but service disruption didn't start until around 11 to 12, depending on the systems.
	And this was due to an immediate power outage right after the blast.
	And the data centers were running on their natural gas generators until the city cut the gas lines.
	So that's why everything went out.
	The redundancy was apparently working to some degree.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's a scandal.
	And I thought that, I mean, the data center I had, the data barn, a very expensive experiment that was too early, we had diesel generators.
	Now, I think we might have been able to switch over to natural gas if necessary.
	I'm not sure about that.
	But I remember having tanks in the ground.
	And that makes a lot more sense than this natural gas.
	I mean, what a huge single point of failure.
	Yeah, most of the generators I know of, jet propulsion ones, turbines, they all use fuel from a tank.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's probably some green thing.
	Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
	It's a green thing.
	It always boils down to some green thing.
	Some green thing.
	Sir Jeff Smith, who is also from Nashville, he sent me a note and he says, I'm sure the Nashville Knights and Dames have filled you in on the local news coverage.
	He did want to add that for the past two years, the Dueling Piano Bar, where Jeff played, that's where I met him the first time years ago, as he was already producing for the No Agenda show at the time, Had moved from Broadway to Second Avenue, and that explosion happened directly at our location, and that's going to be it for the Dueling Piano Bar.
	That will be no more.
	Yeah, that totally sucks.
	Yeah.
	Now, a couple of quick news clips.
	This is NBC, who are just geniuses over there.
	...answered one of the big questions we had as to what exactly was so suspicious when the officers got there that they needed to call in the bomb squad about an RV on Christmas morning, and a recording warning that in 15 minutes there will be a bomb is a pretty clear indication that you need to call in the bomb squad.
	Oh, wow!
	So smart!
	They really know how to dig.
	They are smart over there.
	Now, they're already throwing up all kinds of barriers about the baseless theories, and I'm going to give you the main theory in a minute.
	Here's NBC. Investigators are looking at whether the target was the AT&T building.
	Some conspiracy websites repeat the baseless notion that they're used for mass surveillance.
	That's just one possible theory.
	So, this is bullcrap.
	It's not a baseless theory that AT&T sites are used for spying.
	This is a known fact.
	This is what Binney told us.
	San Francisco is notorious.
	Exactly.
	So, this is...
	And I put a couple links in the show notes if producers want to go look at it.
	This is not...
	Not anything baseless at all.
	I don't think Nashville is necessarily...
	This is really poor reporting.
	Well, who knows?
	It's either poor reporting or it's baseless reporting, that's for sure.
	They're being told what to say.
	But with, as Sir Patrick Coble outlined, all of those fiber terminating in one building, it would be kind of a nice place to listen in to people.
	Which is where the conspiracy theory starts, the baseless theories.
	Let's run through it.
	AT&T had a contract to do the forensic audit on Dominion voting machines, and those machines were being moved to Nashville this past week.
	I made a comment on that particular one.
	Oh, please do.
	I'm just running through it.
	Go ahead.
	Yeah, that one was on, I think it was on NA Social someplace.
	I commented, I said, yes, this is it, because AT&T is so well known for its auditing.
	If I think of auditing, I think of AT&T. Right away.
	Right.
	Now, what I got immediately from an EOD dude named Ben, also in Nashville, was...
	a map of where the outages occurred immediately that were that were terminating a fiber that was terminated in that building and there was a high degree of outages in Georgia because of this explosion so I understand where it's coming from but and it's not baseless but it's flimsy We move on.
	The former owner, this is one of my favorites, of the AT&T building in Nashville, William Kennard, is a board member of Siberia's Capital Management and AT&T, and of course he also has Elite Connections, Bill Clinton's FCC chair and Obama's ambassador to the EU. And as we know, Dominion Voting is owned by Seberius Capital Management.
	It's run by Staple Street execs Joe Biden's brother-in-law, Stephen Owens.
	These connections are real.
	I've checked that out.
	And he's the co-founder of Staple Street Execs along with William Kennard.
	The supercomputer in Tennessee was connected to the AT&T internet in Nashville yesterday evening.
	The Cumberland River cooling system was compromised due to internet outage and the supercomputer got fried.
	I'm not quite sure what relevance that is.
	But the explosion just happened to be at the AT&T location where they just happened to control the cooling system for the supercomputer that houses the Dominion voting machines and drives the forensic audit.
	Man, it's getting deep on this one.
	I really don't think it's connected to that.
	It does seem from everything that...
	I've observed that this was intended to destroy property, the building, and maybe cover up some evidence of something.
	Why else would you want to do that?
	There was something physical about it that had to be destroyed, because anything else could be done cyber.
	But this was clearly not a terrorist attack by Muslim extremists or anything like that.
	But they have already created a narrative.
	And the narrative is this guy whose name is, believe it or not, Anthony Quinn Wilson.
	Now, do people still know who Anthony Quinn is in the world, John?
	No.
	Oh, Anthony Quinn, the actor?
	Yeah.
	Probably not.
	Is this a phony name or is this a joke name that parents gave to this guy?
	No, people would name their kids after actors all the time.
	It's very likely to be a name.
	But they now changed it to Tony Wilson, which is completely...
	Anthony Quinn to Tony Wilson?
	Anthony Quinn Wilson to Tony Wilson.
	Oh, it's probably called Tony Wilson.
	Maybe it wasn't Wilson.
	What was his last name?
	It was something else.
	The troll room might know.
	Now look it up.
	But they were doing the three-name thing, which is typical for a suspect.
	Yes.
	Not Wilson Warner, I'm sorry.
	So it went from Anthony Quinn Warner to Tony Warner.
	Why?
	That's very odd.
	People call him Tony.
	My guess is nobody called him Anthony Quinn Wilson.
	Sure, but why did they stop doing that?
	Who's they?
	The media.
	The media has been writing his name as Anthony Quinn Warner, and then all of a sudden it's now Tony Warner.
	Maybe to tell us that he's not the guy, he's another red herring.
	I mean, they always get the wrong guy at the beginning.
	Yeah, well, here's how...
	By the way, you don't have to be worried about surveillance of the government trying to track you down and pin something on you, like this guy, whatever's going on, if he's still alive, if he exists, if he's real, I don't know.
	No, no, no, you don't have to worry about the government doing it.
	Tonight's senior federal law enforcement officials tell NBC News they're searching the Nashville area home of 63-year-old Anthony Quinn Warner.
	They're looking for evidence in connection with the Christmas morning crime.
	A possible clue officials say a Google Street View image of the address shows an RV as an identical match of the same vehicle Nashville police say was used in the bombing that rocked Music City.
	Yeah, no need for CSI stuff.
	Just use Google.
	Google it, we'll find it.
	So here's the narrative.
	Whether it's this guy or not, this will be pinned on some nutjob.
	We already have the baseless conspiracy theories.
	And this will be a nutjob who was paranoid about 5G. Oh yeah, this is what it's going to be.
	It's already starting.
	Let me see, what is this?
	This is Nashville local news.
	FBI agents investigating if 5G paranoia was behind the Nashville bombing.
	Nashville neighbors say he was an oddball who was paranoid by 5G. I don't know what kind of English that is.
	And that's the Daily Mail.
	So that's the narrative.
	If it's in the Daily Mail, then that's what they're going to do.
	And then my favorite is this inverted night shot video of the explosion at a distance, which shows a plume of smoke Gushing out a small one, almost like a...
	Well, in fact, it's been called a proof that a missile did this and not a bomb.
	You see this plume of smoke shoot up before the actual explosion, which is out there as a...
	Oh, yeah, it was a missile strike.
	Well, I don't think it is.
	I like the missile.
	Did the missile also send the speakers down to announce there's going to be a bomb?
	And I looked at the RV. I looked at this RV. Yeah, I looked at it.
	Where was the speaker?
	Where's the horn?
	Where's the speaker?
	Come on.
	The speaker should have been outside.
	I don't know where the speaker was, but here's another thing about that RV. That was a fairly new RV. Was it?
	I think so.
	I looked at it.
	It didn't look like some old clunker that you find in Berkeley where all the homeless live, which is what I would have blown up.
	Well, it was driving, so it was by definition not like one of those in Berkeley because I don't think those drive.
	They just sit there.
	I thought it was parked.
	No, they have video of it earlier driving.
	Well, I thought the photos I saw of it, I thought it was parked.
	It was parked.
	They had photos of earlier driving to the spot where it was parked.
	Oh, okay, driving around.
	Yeah.
	Well, just, who knows, really?
	But it was the same as the one they showed at that guy's house.
	But that doesn't mean anything.
	That particular model of Winnebago, I believe it is.
	Yeah, I think so.
	There's a million of those.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but he was odd.
	That's the cheap low end one that has like an old truck bed and they put the thing on.
	It's kind of like, it's not like a true Winnebago that says it's all one unit.
	It's not like a half truck.
	That particular unit is very popular.
	They're cheap.
	By March, it will be, if not a federal offense, it will be certainly something not discussed in public is the dangers of 5G. This will be equated with radical nutjobs.
	That's a good move.
	It's an excellent move because you cover up whatever it was for in the first place.
	It's so easy to grab a patsy for this.
	Hey, where's this guy?
	We don't know where the guy is.
	Hey, we got an RV. Let's call Richard Jewell.
	Let's get on the Google Maps, boys.
	Give me a shot.
	You got an RV? Good.
	Let's do this guy.
	Now, this audio, it bothers me, this audio, for a couple of reasons.
	One, it is so audible.
	This is the recording that we've all heard and the video you've seen is from a street lamp.
	Which is bothersome as well, people, that street lamps have cameras in them.
	Just letting you know.
	If you're not aware, that's what's going on in Nashville and other places, no doubt.
	Everywhere.
	So the voice is very audible.
	It sounded to me...
	Like it was coming from a megaphone type amplification system and speaker.
	It had that distinct tinny taste, a tinny sound of even like a kind of a horn, you know, the audio horn.
	Yeah, it was a tinny sound.
	The voice was also professional.
	This was a professional voice.
	This is not like, hey everybody, I'm going to set this bomb off.
	I'm a crazy nut job.
	5G, man!
	5G's got...
	Hey ho, 5G's got to go.
	5G, man!
	Because that's the message I'd have.
	5G is killing you!
	I'm gonna save you!
	Let's do it now!
	You got 15 minutes!
	That's the message I would be putting out there.
	That would be the...
	Yes, and there'd be pamphlets blown into the air or something.
	I mean, you'd do something.
	You just don't blow something up and then have somebody else theorize it was about 5G. No, no, no, no.
	If you're making a protest about 5G, you're protesting.
	Yeah.
	But, well, let's listen to this 25 seconds before the explosion, because someone did something interesting, which I want to try on you.
	I don't think it'll work, but let's listen.
	Also, I listened really closely, some isolation, and what you're hearing before this area must be evacuated now, they say all and what you're hearing before this area must be evacuated now, This is a professional type of announcement.
	If anything, it came from a script that has...
	This is something that you might...
	Yeah, Fight Club.
	In fact, I kind of suspect the smart lamp post to be doing this.
	That's the kind of sound I'd expect from the government when they hear something telling you to evacuate.
	It doesn't sound...
	It's very governmental sounding, you're right.
	That's a good point.
	If you can hear this message, evacuate now.
	If you can hear this message, evacuate now.
	Implying that there was some thinking done about the loudness, the blast.
	If you can hear that message, then you're within the blast zone.
	That is really...
	I don't take that one lightly.
	See if you get anything out of this, but someone reversed this audio, which is my favorite devil trick to do.
	And they claim, now it's much easier when you read the words on the screen than I think your brain goes, oh yeah, I hear that.
	But they claim, in reverse, you will hear, are you ready?
	Are you ready?
	This will be quick, are you ready?
	And ends with Merry Christmas.
	See if you can pick any of that out of this.
	I literally hear Merry Christmas to all.
	I hear that.
	Yeah, I can hear Merry Christmas to all.
	And the other one, I hear mostly, are you steady?
	Yeah.
	But it's like, you can hear, it's like looking at clouds.
	Well, yes, yes, yes.
	And you can hear what you want.
	I set you up.
	You should not have given me.
	I know I set you up.
	I was dumb.
	So I'm already primed to hear that.
	This is like the old trick you do to an audience.
	I've seen it done.
	It's very interesting.
	There's that picture of the rabbit that looks like a flower or something.
	It looks like two different things.
	Is that what they told you?
	Is that what they told you about the rabbit?
	Because you got a jip, man.
	Anyway, you tell half the audience it looks like something, you tell the other half the audience, and you suggest it, and then when they show it, you have raised hands.
	Right.
	Whatever was suggested is what they report.
	So, yeah, I wish you hadn't have done that.
	I'm sorry.
	I was pretty sure you wouldn't have gotten anything if I hadn't told you that.
	Yeah, well, that's the idea.
	Yeah.
	But I like it.
	I don't know why someone would do that and post it, but I like it.
	So, will we really know?
	Doubtful.
	Doubtful.
	But in coming along with the SolarWinds hack, with Starburst...
	Before you make that conclusion, somebody had to own this vehicle.
	It's traceable.
	Isn't that how they got Anthony Quinn's address?
	I thought they got Anthony Quinn's address because he had the exact same vehicle and he was in the town.
	No, that's even better, yeah.
	I don't think they really identified this particular vehicle as being owned by him specifically.
	So they couldn't identify anything about the vehicle, but yet they found something they think is human remains.
	Well, it could be a dog that was inside the thing.
	If it was even the RV that blew up.
	We don't even know that.
	The blast could have come from...
	It could have been a directional blast.
	We know nothing.
	We know nothing other than that was a pretty important facility.
	And, just to make it even funnier, the AT&T building itself, which they call the Batman building, kind of...
	We have that in Austin.
	We have one called the Owl Building.
	But the AT&T Batman building, downtown Nashville, is 33 stories tall and located at 333 Commerce.
	So, you know, it's just the things you got to know.
	Yeah, that's a good bit.
	And I think that's everything I have now.
	Yeah, it's gonna be a slow move because it's...
	Well, the only thing that could move fast...
	Whatever was meant to be done was done, and now they...
	What's the rush?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	But the 5G story, I think we pay attention to that.
	That'll probably get some legs.
	Because that...
	You know, AT&T is a big sponsor.
	Why wouldn't they?
	Why wouldn't they say, oh, yeah, that's a good idea.
	Let's keep on that.
	Huh.
	Um...
	Gee.
	All right.
	I think that's all I've got on Nashville.
	All right.
	Well, I think that was complete enough.
	Yeah.
	We missed an important day.
	Uh-oh.
	I know.
	I hate it when we do.
	First of all, we are the worst.
	We miss days all the time now.
	We need producers to help us because we miss Earth Day every year.
	We miss Earth Hour every year.
	I mean, we miss everything.
	We miss all of these important events.
	I think we caught it once.
	Once!
	In 13 years, we caught it.
	Well, this is a new one, and it was celebrated with our dear leader of the World Health Organization.
	This is International Day for Epidemic Preparedness.
	You didn't know that, huh?
	Mm-hmm.
	If only we had paid attention to International Day for Epidemic Preparedness.
	Preparedness?
	Maybe you wouldn't have been in this situation, my friend.
	That's what Dr.
	Tedros tells us.
	We must all learn the lessons the pandemic is teaching us.
	First, all countries must invest in preparedness capacities to prevent, detect, and mitigate emergencies of all kinds, whether they be natural occurring epidemics or deliberate events.
	Deliberate events?
	Hello?
	Is anyone else hearing this?
	What he means by that is...
	Bioterrorism.
	No, bioterrorism.
	Yeah, bioterrorism.
	Well, that's not...
	That's off the top.
	This is his...
	Hey, it could be anything.
	could also be deliberate.
	...emergencies of all kinds, whether they be natural occurring epidemics or deliberate events.
	Like this one.
	Yes.
	Healthcare is especially important at the foundation of universal health coverage and at the eyes and ears of every health system.
	There you are, promoting the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance industry with universal health coverage.
	So this is an interesting day that it's ramping up to be.
	Second, true preparedness is not just a job of the health sector.
	It requires an all-of-government and all-of-society approach.
	Ah, podcasters will be important.
	And third, the pandemic has highlighted the intimate links between the health of humans, animals, and planets, which we can only address with a One Health approach.
	He says...
	...of society approach.
	And third, the pandemic has highlighted the intimate links between the health of humans, animals and planets.
	The pandemic has highlighted the important relationship between humans, animals and planets.
	Space Force!
	Which we can only address with a One Health approach.
	And I will tell you what One Health is in a moment.
	Yeah, one government.
	Any efforts to improve human health are doomed unless they address the critical interface between humans and animals and the existential threats of climate change...
	That's making our Earth less habitable.
	There, there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
	The problem is we don't respect the Earth and the animals and the planets.
	The Earth.
	And climate change is gonna get us!
	That's making our earth less habitable.
	History tells us that this will not be the last pandemic, and epidemics are a fact of life, but with investments in public health.
	Supported by an all of government, all of society, one health approach, we can ensure that our children and their children inherit a safer, more resilient, and more sustainable world.
	Okay, so the climate change is on its way, and we're going to solve that by staying home.
	It's going to come.
	It's going to be great.
	You stay home, everybody.
	The earth's less inhabitable.
	The earth.
	How does that...
	Where is it?
	Does anybody, like, listen to this and then look around themselves and go, yeah, geez, I'm...
	You know, well, maybe, I guess, in the Boston area where there's, like, snow.
	But...
	Not here.
	You know, you're...
	It's not inhabitable there in Austin?
	For many people...
	The way they experience the world, also pre-lockdowns and pandemic, is through a small display.
	They witness the world and they interact with the world through YouTube and other video.
	And their experience is transformed.
	I think most people don't look at the world anymore.
	How many times have we talked about people on the street who are on their phone while walking?
	No one's in tune.
	I'm sorry.
	I wish somebody put another one of those great compilations together of people walking into poles while on their phones.
	Yeah, so much fun.
	They're hilarious.
	People falling into holes.
	Now, the World Health Organization is up to some dirty tricks, which is not cool.
	They have changed the definition of herd immunity.
	Oh, yeah.
	Which was caught by some very aware people.
	It's easy about this.
	Yes.
	The original World Health Organization definition states that herd immunity, quote, happens when a population is immune, either through vaccination or immunity developed through previous infection.
	This means that even people who haven't been infected or in whom an infection hasn't triggered an immune response, they are protected because people around them who are immune can act as buffers between them and an infected person.
	And the new version, according to the World Health Organization, mind you, they also changed the definition of pandemic several times, but most recently for this event.
	Herd immunity, also known as population immunity, Now this I think is interesting.
	Be careful.
	I don't think so.
	Be careful.
	This is what they say.
	This is the World Health Organization.
	Herd immunity, also known as population immunity, is a concept used for vaccination in which a population can be protected from a certain virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached.
	Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from a virus, not by exposing them to it.
	Hey, so they just changed that, and this will be our new normal.
	And it's being picked up everywhere.
	That leads me back to vaccinations.
	You've all gotten an email from Michael Brown recently that explains some of the science behind getting the vaccination.
	It's important.
	The only way that we're going to get back to some semblance of normal around here is if we develop a herd immunity for everyone in the community of South Georgia and then The state and this part of the country and the country and the world.
	You have to develop herd immunity, which means you develop enough people that have had the virus, that have antibodies, that the virus can't find a host.
	It can't find a way to get a foothold and get started again.
	And the way we do that is to develop a herd immunity.
	You can do that by either catching the virus or by taking a vaccination that gives you immunity long term.
	So, take the vaccine.
	It is safe.
	It is not a live virus.
	It has no impact on fertility as some people are claiming on the internet.
	That's made up stuff that shows up as a conspiracy theory.
	I'm telling you, take this virus.
	How do you catch all these?
	Well, we have producers.
	Take this virus.
	Apparently they're funneling all this stuff to you.
	I'm getting screwed in this deal.
	Take the virus.
	The thing I hate the most is when a producer will send a kick-ass clip to both of us.
	I really despise that because then it's like...
	Just send them to me.
	No, just send them to me.
	If you send it to me...
	Then I got a leg up.
	You sent it to John.
	Okay, he's got the leg up.
	I will give...
	I'm going to give you...
	I'm going to tell everyone...
	You should say thank you after this.
	Okay.
	If you catch any of these, take the virus or any of these switcheroos which you've caught.
	Adam has been the specialist in this, so it's his beat now to find these.
	So if you send them to me, I'm just going to send it to him.
	Because there's no reason for me to even run one of these, because he's done 20 at least, or more.
	And that was another one.
	That's a gem.
	I have a new one.
	I have a new one.
	I've got a topper.
	I've got a topper.
	This is a doctor on MSNBC who is explaining herd immunity.
	Now, we just heard that it's already changed to population immunity, and you can only get it on vaccines.
	This is a doctor, and she's on an NBC News-based channel.
	There are some folks out there who say we will never really have a foolproof vaccine.
	Is that true, and what does that mean, doctor?
	Not every vaccine is 100%, but if it's 90%, if it's 95%, if it's 99%, that's good enough to induce what we call herd mentality.
	She's a genius!
	That's not quite in the same league, but it's definitely funny.
	These are beautiful, man.
	This is beautiful.
	Herd mentality.
	She does it with a straight face.
	Did they correct?
	Come on, the guy didn't send you the whole clip.
	They had to correct after that.
	She must have said, I mean herd immunity, herd mentality.
	I obviously did not hear the whole clip there.
	But I do have an example of trickery and clips coming up later on.
	Now let's look at the vaccine for a little bit.
	As it's being rolled out, we have lots of reports.
	And I found this one to be quite interesting.
	One of the old gang is back.
	And when I say the old gang, I mean the Fauci, Birx, Redfield, HIV, AIDS gang.
	We did this exact same scam, except instead of lockdowns, they had put you in the hospital and they didn't put you on a ventilator, they gave you AZT and you didn't leave.
	And that's an accusation I will stand by.
	MSNBC, again, on the tip of medical advice, brought on Dr.
	William Hasseltine.
	So he's in the Fauci League, and he is a vaccine expert.
	After all, he did so well with the AIDS vaccine.
	And here he is, telling you what we can expect.
	And a question everybody has is when there'll be herd immunity.
	Dr.
	Fauci has acknowledged he's moved his goalposts.
	Early on it was 60 to 70 percent.
	Maybe about a month ago he said 70, 75 percent.
	Now he's telling CNBC maybe 75 to 80 plus percent.
	Don't you love that?
	That this goalpost that she even says has moved?
	Yeah, I'm glad she did that.
	At least she's showing some honesty.
	Yeah, but that also just goes, unaddressed, herd immunity, there's a number for it.
	Well, but let's stop.
	I want to just bring something up that needs to be addressed also.
	Herd immunity is just something that cropped up some, I don't know, some few months back.
	And we never talked about herd immunity in general, but it's become the thing.
	That's not true.
	We talked about herd immunity in regard to the measles, which now seems to be some kind of test run for everything.
	It was the MMR vaccine, and it was running rampant.
	Don't you remember they shut down Pennsylvania?
	Measles.
	For the measles.
	So let me just take a quick look at clips.
	Herd immunity.
	This is 2019.
	Let's see.
	The CDC thinks that more families are traveling to these countries and bringing the virus back home.
	And then here at home, we have another problem, and that's vaccination rates.
	In several pockets around the country, communities, vaccination rates have dropped dramatically in the last few years, below the level that's required to really protect the whole community.
	So once the virus comes to the U.S. from another country, it has a better chance of getting a foothold and triggering an outbreak.
	And this is a very contagious virus, we should say, right, compared to others?
	Oh, super, super contagious.
	Super, super.
	It's like the COVID variant.
	It travels through the air, and if somebody coughs and sneezes on you and you aren't protected with a vaccine, there's a 90% chance you're going to get infected.
	Hold on a second.
	How come we didn't have to lock down when measles was out there?
	It's very contagious.
	This isn't about measles.
	This isn't about COVID. So we've been hearing this stuff in the past.
	Oh, they've been trying different tricks on us, and this is the only one that's worked.
	Explains why we can see these numbers spike.
	You have a few people, parents, who decide not to vaccinate, and then all of a sudden, I mean, it starts getting passed on in a significant way.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	And actually, communities need about 93-95% of everyone vaccinated in order to really stop these outbreaks.
	And doctors say it's really important to make sure you have two doses of the vaccine, not just one.
	Wow!
	But this is measles!
	By the way, you'll notice that they really relent from saying herd immunity in this report.
	She might say it.
	She could have said it two or three spots, because I was anticipating.
	Is she going to say it?
	She's going to, nope, nope, didn't say it.
	Let's see, maybe here.
	The parents should check to make sure everyone has two doses, including adults, in order to get full protection.
	Oh, that sounds like an important clarification.
	I mean, some people might think they've had a dose, they're vaccinated, but that doesn't do the job.
	Yeah, and it's important for adults to be vaccinated, too.
	I know that I needed a booster, like when I was doing it.
	So just make sure you check with your doctor that every kid and family member is vaccinated.
	And especially with babies, some doctors are recommending that if you're in an outbreak, that babies get vaccinated early.
	You're right.
	There's no mention of herd immunity in there.
	The clip is titled Herd Immunity.
	But now that we played that, kind of interesting ramp up with two shots, make sure you get your two shots, highly contagious, no one was told to wear a mask.
	Remember when the swine flu hit a few years back when we covered that?
	There was the two-shot thing again.
	Was that also two shots?
	You're probably right, yeah.
	Well, let's go back to Dr.
	William Hasseltine.
	This is really, you know, as we dig into every one of these, the bird flu is very similar.
	They had these, they keep running these games, and it's like two shots, this and that.
	It's just, it's getting on my nerves.
	Back to the good doctor.
	And a question everybody has is when they'll be herd immunity.
	Dr.
	Fauci has acknowledged he's moved his goalposts.
	Early on it was 60 to 70 percent.
	Maybe about a month ago he said 70, 75 percent.
	Now he's telling CNBC maybe 75 to 80 plus percent.
	Is that your thinking?
	And how long, realistically, should people wrap their brains around the fact that you have to wear a mask, you have to wash your hands, it's a while before we're going to have that herd immunity?
	Well, I think there are a number of questions that you've asked.
	The first is, what about vaccine euphoria?
	I think that is misplaced because it's going to be a long time before most people get the vaccine.
	And we need, as has just been said very clearly and eloquently, we need to follow the rules.
	And we're not following the rules.
	That's partly because we have leadership, which is encouraging us.
	I love that.
	I picked that up, too.
	Like, we're not following the rules.
	He doesn't say law.
	You're not a rule follower.
	You are a rebel.
	Not to follow the leaders, both federal leadership and state leadership in some places is saying don't follow the rules.
	And people don't want to follow these rules.
	They're restricted.
	That's understandable.
	The second thing is what can we really expect?
	We're learning now a lot really quickly about this virus.
	And it may be that what we're looking at is not once and done like polio with the vaccines, but much more like the flu.
	Where we're going to have this move from pandemic to endemic, where we're going to have to keep really good track of what's going on and adjust our vaccines to the strains that emerge.
	These strains that are emerging are very troubled.
	We don't have the full picture.
	But I believe because we haven't looked in the United States, we haven't found.
	but you'll see i think in the next few weeks that we have our own homegrown strains and we have to start thinking about adjusting the vaccines so this is just going to be much more like a decades long battle that we have with the flu than a once and done battle that we've had with polio ladies and gentlemen you just heard the sales pitch That guy is pitching it up because we're going to have to develop new vaccines every year.
	Oh, yeah, I got to crank it up.
	Money, money, money, money.
	Fuck these guys, man.
	I'm still thinking about it because you play that measles clip, which now really gets me going.
	It's irksome, isn't it?
	So let's see.
	We have the same basic model.
	Within the era of the show, we've had the measles.
	I think we had measles twice because at the very early part of the show, That's when we had all the Lear shows like Law& Order and all the rest of them that had Lear scripts where they had measles killing people and then they had a case of, well, what are we going to do?
	This woman killed this other woman's baby because she wouldn't have her kid vaccinated was one of the storylines.
	Oh, right, right, right.
	And that's way early in the show.
	Then measles came around a couple of years ago again and in the meantime we had swine flu and then we had this COVID thing.
	And I'm thinking, Every one of them were trying to do the same thing.
	Get two shots, get people scared, shut down the economy, perhaps was the goal of all of them, because they called swine flu a pandemic, as you recall, when that Chinese woman was running the WHO. So I'm trying to say, what are the...
	What are the common elements running through all of these things, and what's the one triggering event that freaked everybody out this last time to get them to follow rules, shut down the economy, close things down?
	What is the difference between the measles, the swine flu, and everything in between, and all the stuff they've tried over the years to do this, to ruin capitalism in favor of socialism?
	I'm going to go there.
	Oh, wow.
	All right.
	JCD on a tear.
	Okay.
	That's right.
	Now we got it.
	What's the one difference and what's the one causative that made the COVID work?
	Trump.
	No.
	That's the standard answer.
	Come on.
	As good as no answer.
	Well, okay.
	I'll tell you what it is because it's not the thing you can guess.
	I don't know.
	It's the image of the COVID virus.
	Very good.
	That image that I rejected in our artwork.
	Right away.
	Right away.
	They showed up instantly.
	It looks like a creepy, organic ship mine, the kind of things that are floating in the harbors with all these spikes sticking out of it.
	That's not what it looks like at all.
	Somebody did an artist rendering.
	It is frightening looking.
	And Fauci had the model.
	Remember he was holding the model up on his video conference there?
	Not Fauci, it was his boss.
	They finally found what triggers the American imagery.
	The imagery of that stupid looking virus with the spikes sticking all over it.
	The spikes are red.
	And the thing itself is creepy looking.
	That was it.
	And that's what triggered it.
	And they finally found it.
	Now, this is what we're going to start to see.
	This is going to happen again with something else.
	They're going to have a horrible, gruesome looking, horrific image to scare you with.
	This is really getting on my nerves.
	I think this is imagery.
	100% agree.
	The virus rendering, which has no basis in reality, is definitely part of it.
	But I will return to the TikTok videos of Chinese people falling down dead in the street.
	The misappropriated use of emergency room hospital footage, which was displayed all over the world.
	Some not even from the right year, some not from the right hospital.
	Not from the right country.
	Not country.
	This was an information attack.
	and I think TikTok really helped.
	A video viral on TikTok, 100 million people will see it.
	Easy.
	Whether they are interested in it or not, they're going to see it.
	So China.
	Maybe China was just more prevalent because of those things.
	I'm thinking Norman Lear.
	He's behind it.
	That may be taking things a bit far.
	Okay, we talked about the vaccine, the two doses, that if you squeeze it, there's three doses that can come out of a single vial.
	Still funny to me.
	I think what's happening now is...
	It's how accurate they are.
	Yeah, science.
	The ramp-up is towards pushing everyone to vaccinate, and it's being done through the new variant.
	Oh!
	Better hurry up and get it now.
	You don't want this new variant.
	And it's also being done with reports like this.
	Since Canada's approved COVID-19 vaccines require two doses, Ontario is among the regions holding back supplies, all to make sure recipients get both rounds.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	British Columbia is among several other provinces already striving to vaccinate more people more quickly.
	New modelling from the University of Toronto shows a more flexible dosing approach could avoid more than 34% of symptomatic infections.
	The team hopes Ontario takes note.
	Yep.
	Hurry it up, people.
	Wow, hold on a second.
	I hate to tell you this, but you're going to get Clip of the Day for that, and we'll talk about why.
	Oh, gosh.
	Clip of the Day.
	Okay.
	This is like the three doses from the vials that were overfilled to prevent people from getting shorted.
	Mm-hmm.
	This is like, you know, when things get into the field, it's a lot different than what it is in theory.
	And they immediately start changing the rules, the people that actually are doing it in the field, you know, the workers.
	And so now they're screwing up the mechanism, they're screwing up the plan.
	These guys must be besides themselves.
	Wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, we're holding power, no!
	Shh!
	It's just too funny to listen to that clip.
	I mean, nobody sees the irony of that clip.
	I mean, the clip plays as straight news, but we listen to it.
	Wait a minute.
	This is not the way this...
	If it's looked at as something that's a scheme, that's planned, everything down to the minute details, and then everyone starts screwing it up.
	It's more effective, boss.
	Okay.
	Science!
	Science!
	Yeah, this will not be questioned.
	These are just great scientific discoveries.
	It's not just the United States and the Western world that is going nut jobs over this.
	We have some boots on the ground reports.
	South Korea, Jesse Coy Nelson, roving teacher, English as a second language, end of show mixer extraordinaire, writes in, the press here in Korea is claiming that people are angry at Moon, President Moon, for vaccine shortages.
	All of my students here, sorry, No, I didn't really say anything.
	I was just thinking, yeah, I can see this is just a promotion, but keep playing.
	We're talking.
	Sorry.
	All of my students have to do news story projects, which is a good way for me to hear about their thoughts and, of course, to correct their English, but let them interact with one another without putting too much of my opinion on things.
	Some are skeptical because of the tainted flu shots earlier this year that caused death in the country.
	Huh!
	Huh!
	Guess I missed that report.
	I didn't hear it.
	No.
	Some will take the vaccine to get back to normal.
	Everybody wears masks now.
	If I wear it, I wear it if I go into the stores, but not covering my nose.
	I don't wear it when walking on the street unless it's a very busy main street.
	Businesses are open and busy, but there is a 9pm closure for restaurants here because, as you know, it's nocturnal.
	More stories about cases increasing on the news, blah, blah, blah.
	He says, I'm still planning on taking a trip to Mexico, but making sure I can go direct from Korea to Mexico because I don't want any funny business in flight layover countries.
	We stay in Asia.
	We go to China.
	We have Professor J.J., And I think he's in Beijing, if I'm not mistaken.
	He also is teaching at a university.
	And this is what he got a note.
	He was told last week at work that all...
	Faculty can now volunteer to go get a vaccine.
	He sent the email.
	You're being encouraged to volunteer to get the vaccine in China.
	I think the options are from Chinese vaccine makers.
	Here's the vaccines they have.
	Sinovac, Sinopharm, and these are not mRNA.
	However, Sinovac uses...
	Aluminum adjuvant, Sinopharm, uses an adjuvant called CPG-1018 made by Dynavax.
	And Sinopharm also uses polysorbate 80 as an emulsifying agent, which just sounds all tasty to me.
	Many of my colleagues at two of our campuses have registered to get the shot, and one did so today.
	Of course, most of the non-Chinese nationals believe two things.
	A, the shots will not injure them, and B, they will get to travel and not be subject to 14-day quarantines.
	I expect they are both wrong.
	My Scandinavian friend living in a neighborhood province has been given the option to get an mRNA vaccine made by a Chinese company.
	My Scandinavian friend will not get any shots.
	Please ask other producers in China to send in reports.
	I know we do have them.
	So it seems like it's at least being presented as voluntary to some degree.
	A retraction?
	We were incorrect.
	Measuring immunity, which we laughed heartily about.
	We did.
	We laughed heartily.
	Is a thing.
	Links in the show notes.
	It's not done often.
	It used to be done for MMR. I guess it's a titer.
	A titer can show.
	Titer?
	T-I-T-E-R? Can show if you have immunity.
	Um...
	But it can also show you if you do not have immunity, even if you've had a vaccine.
	I didn't know that was a thing.
	I think this is interesting if someone would call us on this because it involved Santa Claus getting the vaccine.
	Well, of course.
	Multiple people called us on this.
	I would like to make a suggestion.
	Instead of going on Twitter and saying, You don't know shit!
	Immunity is really a thing!
	I wish you would do some homework!
	Instead of doing that.
	By the way, I will say this.
	Anyone that uses the term do your homework in any way of the social media, whatever they're called.
	Rants?
	They're blocked immediately.
	I'm not in school.
	I don't do homework.
	Instead, think like a producer and think, oh man, you got to correct that.
	You got that wrong.
	That's how you should think.
	We pretty much know nothing.
	But I think we'd do a better job at presenting what's out there.
	We're conduits.
	Oh, yes.
	Yes, we are conducive as copper.
	And kudos to our producer, Johan, in Sweden, as he wrote to the Swedish CDC, which is known as the Falkshemmahingdeheten, Authority for Population Health.
	He has been writing them a while now to get their official position on PCR tests and an answer came.
	Guidance on criteria for addressing the freedom of infection of the COVID-19 Public Health Authority has developed national criteria for assessing the freedom of infection at the COVID-19.
	This is a translation, obviously.
	The PCR technology used in virus detection tests cannot differentiate between viruses capable of infecting cells and viruses rendered immune by the immune system, and therefore the tests cannot be used to determine whether someone is infectious or not.
	I need a copy of that.
	Show notes, baby.
	Bingit.io.
	Show notes.
	Bingit.io.
	Bingit.io.
	Okay.
	Virus RNAs can often be detected for weeks after the onset, but do not mean that you are still infectious.
	There are also several scientific studies which suggest that the level of infectivity at COVID-19 is the highest at the beginning of the disease period.
	Therefore, we recommend criteria for assessing freedom of infection are based on Stable clinical improvement with freedom from fever for at least...
	So there's your recommendation when you can come up.
	The recommendations will be updated as new knowledge on infectivity at COVID-19 is added as current knowledge is limited.
	And then the second answer he got...
	About PCR. PCR is a reliable method of detecting genome from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but it won't be able to tell you that you are contagious or not.
	So shut up, mainstream media, with your infected!
	Contagious!
	Um...
	We therefore recommend taking the sample when you have symptoms compatible with COVID-19 when positive test response in combination with symptoms, which we've known from day one, indicates active infection.
	When in the course of the disease samples are taken, it's crucial for the sensitivity to the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the upper respiratory tract.
	Our recommendation is that it be taken on days one through five.
	Sensitivity generally decreases from samples taken later than a week after onset.
	It is the responsibility of laboratories to ensure the reliability of the analyses.
	So they're getting around the cycle count by saying, hey man, that's the lab.
	That's the lab.
	But they're spelling it out very clearly.
	You can't tell how infectious someone is or if they're infectious at all.
	But I guess it's sweet and they got everything wrong.
	So we'll just leave that.
	Yeah, well, we can pound this drum forever.
	You started pounding this drum very early on with the guy himself who invented the test.
	Cary Mullis.
	Yes.
	And it's just like peeing into the wind.
	I know.
	I had a...
	What happened to this clip here?
	Hold on a second.
	Did something go wrong with my clip?
	Let me see if this is...
	Okay, yeah, that's working.
	Hmm.
	Odd.
	Um...
	What we've missed during the entire pandemic is Africa.
	We just haven't had anything horrible happen in Africa, which is what you'd expect.
	Well, it's in the Ethiopia situation.
	We've covered that a little bit.
	Well, that's interesting you bring up Ethiopia.
	What was the situation we covered in Ethiopia?
	Well, there's a little skirmish going on in the northern part of the country.
	Oh, right, but...
	But actual COVID issues and deaths in Africa?
	I don't think we have.
	No, no, we haven't.
	Well, I think early on we covered it when it first started breaking out in Africa and the next thing you know, coverage died off because you'd think Africa, especially a place like Nigeria, which is pretty crowded, It would just be the whole country be infected.
	But since it hasn't really occurred that way, we have to, for some reason, the United States, which has masked up, especially in states like California, where everyone's very conscientious, not everybody, but most people, we have the worst case.
	It's out of control.
	Everybody's dropping dead.
	An MIT researcher, her name is Stephanie Seneff.
	Now, I'm not sure if this was her podcast or she was a guest on the podcast, and she talks specifically about COVID and Nigeria.
	Since you brought it up, it's beautiful.
	Why aren't people getting sick in Nigeria?
	And she has a thesis.
	So the places, I don't even know, maybe all of that, where there's sort of hot spots or people getting sick, have been places where there have been a switch to biodiesel, meaning they're actually taking, you know, glyphosate, you know, you know, glyphosate, you know, grown corn and making that into fuel.
	And obviously it gets spewed into the air.
	And that may be a contributing factor in people getting sick.
	That's right.
	That's what I'm thinking.
	In fact, I've really enjoyed looking at the epidemiology of COVID-19.
	It's really, really fascinating.
	And one thing you'll notice if you look at the globe is that Africa is somehow immune to COVID-19.
	It's quite remarkable.
	Nigeria.
	So air pollution is something that was found to be correlated.
	So there have been multiple studies.
	There was a Harvard group that did a nice study looking at all the counties across the United States and saw that those places that had higher levels of these nanoparticles in the air had increased death rate from COVID-19.
	I always look at death rate, not the infection rate, because the infection rate is highly variable depending upon how many tests are doing all that.
	It has to do with the phony tests.
	Yeah, so death rate is a more reliable number.
	Exactly.
	Alright, so what she's saying is it's the glyphosate, which comes from Roundup Ready, and the thesis is that they use old-fashioned diesel in Nigeria, but in many Western countries, They use biodiesel, which is created from corn.
	And her thesis here is that the glyphosate that is used to create these biofuels is what's making people more susceptible to the virus.
	Now you go to Nigeria.
	Nigeria is extremely, extremely interesting because it has one of the lowest rates of COVID-19 death rate in the world.
	It has one one hundredth of the rate death rate that we have.
	So it's not a small difference.
	One in a hundred.
	Now, part of it is that they have fewer old people.
	And people say, well, maybe it's just because they have fewer old people.
	But it's one in five old people.
	And one in a hundred death rates.
	So even if you said everybody who died was old, there's still a one in twenty factor there.
	In a country that has extreme air pollution problems, they have some of the worst air pollution in the world.
	They have crowding in the inner cities.
	They have 100%, almost 100% black population.
	Very black.
	So that vitamin D might be a reason...
	With the blacks.
	The blacks in America have twice the death rate of the whites, and they don't know why.
	One possibility is they don't, because of their dark skin, they don't get enough vitamin D. Well, in Nigeria, you've got, you know, very dark blacks, very high poverty rate, very great deal of crowding in the inner city, very high air pollution.
	All these things are risk factors for COVID-19, and they don't have COVID-19.
	It's quite amazing.
	Yeah.
	And here's our final part.
	Glyphosate.
	I think the air pollution is not a problem with COVID-19 if there isn't glyphosate in the air pollution.
	That's what my theory is.
	That's my working theory.
	And when you look at the places...
	Glyphosate in the air pollution.
	Glass city and the air pollution.
	Yeah, and so that's where you look at New York City, which is, you know, I first looked at Lombardy because that's where it first took off in Europe, Lombardy.
	Now, Europe has very high buy-in of diesel fuel in automobiles.
	They have like 20% of their cars are diesel, and Europe is a leader in the biodiesel industry, so they're putting biodiesel into those cars mixed in with the regular diesel.
	Right.
	And U.S. doesn't have that much diesel in their cars.
	I mean, we have diesel trucks, you know, and diesel buses.
	New York City is a leader in the biodiesel industry.
	Biodiesel has blossomed in the last few years.
	Luckily, I have an air pollution inspector expert with me today on the pod.
	So, Dr.
	Dvorak, total bullcrap, possibility, your thoughts?
	I think it's a total bullcrap.
	Okay.
	And we're done.
	I like the way she thinks.
	Yeah.
	It's very, very, very...
	I would...
	And I'm going to use this word because I've said to myself before, I've never used this word.
	I don't even know why this word exists.
	Why would anyone use it?
	It's stupid.
	But I'm going to pause it.
	I use that word all the time and you like it.
	I don't like it.
	I never liked it.
	I like that.
	First of all, biodiesel, generally speaking, is not – the products that come from corn in the United States that are used for fuel are not that much.
	But it's alcohol.
	Right.
	Not diesel.
	Grain alcohol.
	Right.
	And it's made from...
	Well, it's grainy corn, but it's actually mostly corn.
	Yeah, and the alcohol is foreign.
	It uses blends and it's used in straight up E85, for example.
	It would be 85% of it.
	Yeah.
	I'm thinking that what she's not doing is looking at the Occam's razor, which is that our case count and our...
	Is bullshit.
	Is bullshit.
	And she just looks at the simple logic that we're being lied to.
	And our hospital filling up ICU bed porn...
	And all that, and I had that clip in the last newsletter, a picture from the top, those are the top stories from the New York Times, and the top one says, COVID-19 patient bludgeoned, this is the number one story that people read in the New York Times, bludgeoned to death in hospital bed, and I'm telling you, that went down as a COVID death.
	Of course, of course it did.
	And we have documented this since almost the beginning.
	So what you're saying...
	Bullcrap numbers.
	What you're saying is you like how the scientist is thinking, and maybe more biofuel versus biodiesel, but in general, she's working off of incorrect assumptions because she's believing the numbers.
	She thinks people are honest.
	Whoops!
	What a mistake that is.
	Yeah.
	Unbelievable.
	Yeah, well, I have some clips that are coming up that can submit some more of this.
	Well, why don't we do it now?
	I got a few more things, but before we transition, what do you have?
	I got COVID. I still got a COVID. You got COVID? You got the COVID? Did you get a test?
	I got a three-parter.
	Here we go.
	Did you get a test?
	You're good.
	There's a three-parter from ABC. This is the porn.
	This is the network.
	Number one network, ABC. This is going to be COVID. I think, I believe this is the beginning of the report.
	This is the COVID. Oh, it says COVID. Of course.
	Of course it says COVID. After 13 years of marriage, honey, I know how you spell.
	It's okay.
	I got you.
	So let's play, instead of that, Well, actually, we could play.
	This is the COVID relief butt slam, but I believe this is their lead-in to the whole news hour, and it's two minutes of a tease.
	It's a teaser.
	COVID relief for millions of Americans remains in the limbo.
	Nope, I take it back.
	Stop.
	Stopped.
	That's not the teaser.
	Okay.
	The teaser is ABC News Reser Pre-Rap.
	Breaking news as we come on the air.
	The monster storm barreling across the country as millions travel for the holidays.
	The storm already wreaking havoc on the roads.
	Whiteout conditions in parts of the Midwest.
	Torrential rain and high winds moving east.
	Did I not say they were cranking up HAARP? On the last episode, didn't I tell you that?
	No, it wasn't the last episode.
	It was about three episodes ago.
	This hour, with power outages possible on Christmas morning, but dangerous weather with some 85 million Americans on the move despite those CDC warnings to stay home to prevent the spread of the virus.
	A staggering COVID surge.
	The CDC now predicting more than 90,000 Americans could die over the next three weeks.
	The alarming new images from inside a California medical center as a record number of Americans spend Christmas in the hospital.
	The vaccine speed bump.
	The federal government acknowledging immunizations are slower than expected.
	Now saying they'll fall short of the 20 million doses promised by the end of the year.
	So far, only 1 million Americans have been vaccinated.
	What officials are saying about the delay.
	COVID relief in jeopardy for millions of Americans.
	President Trump blasting Congress's nearly $900 billion relief bill, calling it a disgrace and demanding more money for stimulus checks.
	The bill on its way to the president at Mar-a-Lago.
	Will he sign it?
	And the president's new round of pardons, the sharp words from a Republican senator.
	The police shooting outraged.
	The family of Andre Hill speaking out for the first time since the unarmed man was fatally shot by police in Columbus, Ohio.
	Their calls for justice.
	And tonight, breaking news on that officer.
	Jetpack close call.
	The man seen flying 3,000 feet in the air.
	The investigation into a string of similar incidents.
	And the amazing rescue.
	The incredible moment a three-year-old girl was pulled from the rubble after a home explosion.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	A lot to unpack there.
	Well, by the way, we have the guy flying around in the air later.
	Is this now the third jetpack incident?
	Well, we'll play this later.
	I got the jetpack story.
	We can talk about it.
	All right.
	But let's get back to COVID. Yeah.
	So there was a little ditty in there.
	He says, he talks about COVID. He says, experts predict that 90,000 could be dead in the next three weeks.
	Mm-hmm.
	Did you hear that in there?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Yeah, I think you did too.
	He never said that he was going to be dead at COVID. Just trying to be honest with you, everybody.
	You know what?
	I think it will be even more in the next three weeks.
	Well, you know how many people, using the basic population death numbers, how many people die in three weeks?
	Well, it would be roughly 3 million divided by 12.
	3 million divided by 365, but 166,000.
	I already did the math.
	Thank you.
	So 90,000, yes.
	Yeah, there's no doubt 90,000.
	You know what?
	We predict 160,000 deaths.
	No agenda show is from the future.
	So let's play COVID, COVID, Darkest Day, ABC. Oh my goodness.
	Are we in the dark winter?
	Oh, brother.
	This holiday week, America is battling a staggering COVID surge.
	December is already a devastating month of the pandemic.
	Yesterday, more than two Americans tested positive every second.
	That's kind of...
	Hold on a second.
	Good observation.
	Staggering.
	Staggering.
	I don't think we've heard this one used.
	It's new.
	Staggering.
	Let's just see what the actual definition is before dictionary.com changes it.
	Staggering.
	Deeply shocked.
	Astonishing.
	Hmm.
	I don't think if you go out on the street and you ask anybody, are you deeply shocked and astonished by this?
	I think they'll go, meh.
	The Mad News!
	This holiday week, America is battling a staggering COVID surge.
	December is already the most devastating month of the pandemic.
	Yesterday, more than two Americans tested positive every second.
	And more than 328,000 lives have been lost.
	That's two American deaths reported every minute.
	Nearly 120,000 COVID patients are hospitalized this Christmas Eve.
	And tonight, the CDC out with a new projection of the toll we could see after the holidays.
	ABC's Kaylee Hartung is in heart-hit California.
	Tonight as the coronavirus spreads unchecked, that devastating new prediction.
	A staggering 90,000 more Americans could die in the next three weeks.
	This is what it looks like on the front lines.
	She never said of COVID, no?
	The record 119,000 people fighting to stay alive in the hospital.
	Doctors and nurses at Providence Holy Cross in Los Angeles working to save lives on Christmas Eve.
	Unable to be with their families.
	Drowning in the Thanksgiving surge and terrified of what's ahead.
	Drowning in the Thanksgiving surge.
	This is well-written, people.
	I like this.
	To save lives on Christmas Eve, unable to be with their families, drowning in the Thanksgiving surge, and terrified of what's ahead.
	Every day I see, I look into the eyes of someone who's struggling to breathe, who's struggling to, you know, get well.
	They want to be home with their family.
	California surpassing 2 million infections, more than most countries.
	This emergency It's our darkest day.
	Oh, my amygdala!
	Oh, no!
	Did you clip that as an end-of-show ISO? That's not bad.
	It's not bad.
	It's right at the end.
	Watch the clip and we'll put it in the competition.
	More than most countries.
	This emergency is our darkest day.
	Ooh, that's pretty good.
	It's pretty good.
	I'll keep it on deck just in case.
	Okay, when we do the...
	I have one other one I wanted to try.
	That's probably better.
	Okay, so now we know.
	It's our darkest day.
	By the way, I'm in California.
	I mean, I remember when you were in Texas, where they're blaming Texas for everything, but that didn't stick, I guess.
	So they had to move their target from Texas, which now I'm irked about.
	Just so you know, I checked.
	No one is adhering to these stupid asks from the mayor.
	Restaurants are advertising, we're open!
	We're open, everybody!
	Come on in!
	No.
	This is being universally ignored in Austin.
	Well, they're not apparently docile enough as they are in California, at least on the coast of California.
	The inland, who knows?
	I doubt in Manteca that anyone's paying much attention to this.
	But at the same time, even though when masks up and they're all conscientious, we're the worst.
	There's two things that don't make sense.
	One, the people who are the most conscientious, they mask up, they're freaked out, they're staying at home like my next door neighbors.
	They're doing all this, everything right, and yet we're the worst.
	Meanwhile, nothing's going on in Nigeria.
	Because they use regular diesel.
	Come on.
	Yeah, well it's got little to do with that and a lot to do with that bull crap.
	Let's play part two of this clip.
	And now growing alarm over those new variants of the virus spreading in the UK and South Africa.
	Scientists carefully studying them, saying they're more infectious and could already be in the US. These variants are going to lead to more people getting infected, more people getting hospitalized, and more people dying.
	Late today, New Jersey announcing all passengers flying from the U.K. must prove they've tested negative.
	Just a day after New York City threatened to fine incoming travelers from the U.K. $1,000 if they don't quarantine.
	This as the virus is surging again in the Sun Belt, months after the summer wave, according to a new White House report.
	In Chicago, Joe Bruno lost both his parents to COVID earlier this month.
	He has this heartbreaking message for the holidays.
	Cancel your flights.
	Cancel your plans.
	Stay home.
	It hurts so bad.
	There's this clip.
	Holy crap.
	Holy moly.
	He has this holiday message?
	Let me just hear that sequence again.
	That was beautiful.
	Clipping.
	I can't clip at all.
	I only have two hands.
	He has this heartbreaking message for the holidays.
	Cancel your flights.
	Cancel your plans.
	Stay home.
	It hurts so bad.
	And if I could go back in time, I would do things differently.
	Oh, this is the worst.
	And I feel bad for the guy because not only did he lose his parents, but he blames himself.
	He's been taught to blame himself that he should have done things differently.
	But back in California, stories of triumph.
	Yeah.
	I just want to say, yes, that observation is quite apt.
	He, I think a lot of, yeah, blame yourself.
	This is your fault because you screwed up.
	You didn't follow the rules.
	You didn't follow the rules.
	You didn't mask up.
	I think that's the theme for today's show is following the rules.
	Follow the rules.
	Hold on a second.
	Don't we have...
	Your parents will die if you don't follow the rules.
	And then you become a pathetic guy like that.
	Jesus, terrible.
	Why'd they put this...
	Of course, NBC or ABC should be responsible for putting that guy on like that.
	I'm a rule follower, so if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.
	ICU nurse Merlin Pambuan fought the virus for eight months, now finally going home, just in time for the holiday.
	Don't lose hope.
	Just fight.
	Fight.
	Fight.
	Because look at me.
	You know, I'm going home and I'm walking.
	We do love to see those stories of hope and recovery.
	Kaylee Hartung joining us from a hospital in Santa Monica.
	Kaylee, this current surge in California, if it continues here, health officials already making painful decisions.
	Yeah, Whit.
	Hospitals just like this one will be completely overwhelmed if this search continues.
	And one doctor here just telling me they are already rationing care.
	Officials warn that in as little as two weeks, doctors could be making even more dramatic decisions about who lives and who dies.
	Woo-hoo!
	Yeah!
	Death panels!
	Death panels, baby!
	Yeah!
	Who lives and who dies!
	Death panels!
	Sarah Palin was right!
	Words I never thought I'd heard you say ever.
	What am I going to say?
	She was right.
	Death battles.
	The headlines overwhelmed LA hospitals braced for post-Christmas wave.
	What happened to the Thanksgiving wave?
	California is first state to hit 2 million cases and hospitals are out of ICU beds.
	Coronavirus variant is indeed more transmissible.
	New study suggests New York Times and the Huntington Beach Mayor Temp Temp Who was a former UFC fighter?
	Do you know this guy?
	No, I don't follow you.
	Tito Ortiz, he was out there helping supplies, I think at a food bank, without a mask!
	Without a mask!
	Well, that is Huntington Beach Mayor Pro Tem, Tito Ortiz, getting in the face of a resident.
	It came after people were alerted to the fact that he was handing out food at a distribution event without wearing a mask.
	And it was happening on Ocean View School District property, which has strict pandemic safety rules.
	Having close contacts with little children like he did today and leaning into strollers and into car windows with no mask on is unacceptable to us.
	Karen!
	This is a public health emergency.
	A leader of our city, a representative of our city, to bring complete denial and not take safety measures.
	It's not a joke.
	People are dying.
	People are in hospitals.
	There are zero...
	You're a joke.
	I'm from Canada.
	Now, you've got to listen.
	Listen how the propaganda has worked.
	So...
	You don't notice it even when this Karen pipes up.
	She's the head of the PTA I think.
	This is a health...
	They're using all the terms.
	Health emergency.
	Listen to the guy who comes after it, too.
	And into car windows with no mask on is unacceptable to us.
	This is a public health emergency.
	A leader of our city, a representative of our city, to be in complete denial and not take safety measures.
	It's not a joke.
	People are dying.
	People are in hospitals.
	There are zero ICU beds available.
	Uh-huh.
	Okay, yeah.
	The programming is working.
	Zero beds available.
	Good catch.
	In fact, they said...
	If this continues, there may be a lack of beds.
	They just keep telling you this, but no, no.
	Zero beds available, man!
	What's up, Jack?
	There's no beds available!
	There are zero ICU beds available.
	Time code.
	Well, police were eventually called.
	The mayor pro tem left and went into a city building after the confrontation.
	Yeah.
	QAnon.
	He's a QAnon-er.
	Unbelievable.
	I just want to give you one good one for you.
	I sought this story out just for you.
	Because you brought to our attention the Pennsylvania Health Department leadership.
	Yes, Dr.
	Rachel Levine.
	And she has issued guidance.
	Now, mind you, you can't go to a restaurant.
	And you certainly, if the restaurants are open, you can't go there after 9pm or 10pm because it's nocturnal.
	You've got to mask up everywhere.
	You can't go to school.
	But should you have to have an orgy, there are recommendations.
	This is truly from Dr.
	Rachel Levine.
	No, this is a putter.
	It's an onion.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	No.
	This is not onion.
	Here we go.
	If you attend a large gathering where you might end up having sex, please limit the number of partners.
	Try to identify a consistent sex partner.
	Well, what kind of orgy are you in?
	That's a shit orgy.
	Wear a face covering, avoid kissing, and do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands.
	Are you kidding me?
	Wow!
	If you usually meet your sex partners online, consider taking a break from in-person dates.
	Video dates, sexting, subscription-based fan platforms.
	Hello, OnlyFans!
	You should have this woman's picture on the screen as you read this.
	Done.
	Dreb Scott has just made that happen in our podcasting 2.0 compatible podcast apps, newpodcastapps.com.
	Unbelievable.
	So protect yourself and your partners from COVID-19 during sex.
	Avoid kissing.
	Wear a face mask.
	I think kissing is the least of your problems in this situation.
	But just the fact that there's recommendations, you know, it's been a while since I've thought about having an orgy.
	I don't know about you, John.
	It's been a while.
	Yeah, I'm over the hill.
	All right, here we go.
	I'm sorry to hear that.
	Very sorry to hear that.
	The COVID.
	Now we can play COVID relief.
	COVID relief for millions of Americans remains in limbo tonight.
	After Congress and the White House spent months negotiating the deal, President Trump called it a disgrace and then left Washington for Mar-a-Lago, sowing chaos before Christmas.
	But before he left, he issued a round of pardons, and here's ABC's White House correspondent, Rachel Scott.
	After throwing relief for millions of Americans into limbo just days before Christmas, President Trump headed to his Florida golf course, CNN's cameras capturing him on the green.
	He still won't say whether he'll sign the bipartisan stimulus bill his own team helped negotiate.
	It really is a disgrace.
	This Christmas Eve, Americans on edge, realizing the relief they've waited months for may not come anytime soon.
	Angela Moore already had COVID-19.
	Now she's without a job, her patients wearing thin.
	I just feel like we've been treated like a yo-yo.
	Like we're being pawned between, you know, Republicans, Democrats, and the president.
	And, um...
	It's gonna be too late.
	In just 48 hours, 14 million will lose unemployment benefits.
	The federal moratorium on evictions expires in one week.
	I beg the president to know how many people in this country are scared.
	But the president is instead using the crisis to raise money for himself, blasting out a fundraising email asking supporters to donate to send a message to Congress that the American people deserve better.
	Republicans who voted for the stimulus package now caught in a political bind.
	I hope the president looks at this again and reaches that conclusion that the best thing to do is to sign the bill.
	To make matters worse, if the president doesn't sign the bill, the government will shut down on Monday.
	But Trump has gone silent on all of this, instead tweeting false claims about the election and pardoning allies like his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and confidant Roger Stone.
	He also pardoned the father of his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who was convicted of tax evasion and witness tampering.
	Republican Senator Ben Sasse with a one-line criticism.
	This is rotten to the core.
	Rotten!
	It's rotten!
	I've heard Sass speak, and I never heard him say rotten.
	That was an interesting whipsaw.
	Self-created.
	Yeah, totally.
	It's just bad reporting.
	It's unbelievable.
	And also, it's factually not true.
	In fact, the whole government won't shut down on Monday.
	Parts of it will not be funded, but it's not like the whole government's going to shut down.
	Everyone's not going to show up for work.
	That was a little fast on the show.
	She's excitable.
	She's excitable.
	Sure.
	Now, I only have a couple more COVID-related.
	I do have another one on the bill, which she was talking about, which is the COVID bill messes a PBS report.
	We want to play that.
	The standoff between Congress and the president continues today over the $900 billion COVID-19 stimulus bill President Trump still has not signed as of late this afternoon.
	Without this new legislation, extended federal unemployment benefits will expire today for an estimated 12 million Americans.
	Under the stimulus bill, federal unemployment benefits of $300 a week would be extended until mid-March.
	A moratorium on evictions during the pandemic will also expire in less than a week.
	That is, if the president does not sign the stimulus bill.
	Stop, stop, stop.
	That clip's no good.
	I mean, it goes on.
	It tells you what it is.
	But, you know, let's go back a couple of...
	Before this whole thing came about, let's go listen to Taibbi and Halpern.
	Matt Taibbi discusses this package with some angles that are kind of interesting, talking about how this was a self-destructive move by the Democrats and didn't even know what they were doing.
	The clip is called Aid Package Explained by Taibbi.
	Yeah, I'm just jacking up the volume a little bit.
	The waveform's low.
	Here we go.
	So, here's what happened.
	Right after they passed this new COVID relief package, which is really two bills, Monday afternoon, and I got a call from a staffer.
	I just have to say, it's five or six bills.
	It's not really two bills.
	It's a little disappointing to hear that from Taibbi.
	like going out of his mind and basically saying, if you go back and look at the chronology, the Democrats basically negotiated against themselves going back months so that the relief package that people are ultimately going to get is by a factor of three or four, the Democrats basically negotiated against themselves going back months so that the relief package that people are ultimately going to get they negotiated correctly or had they been willing to take a hit like in the form of allowing Donald Trump a headline or two along the way.
	So just so people know the basic outlines of this, the deal that they agreed upon is two bills, One is $748 billion, and that's going to include things like unemployment insurance and other stuff.
	And then there's a separate bill for $160 billion for state and local aid.
	So this is going to be voted as two different things.
	If you go back and look at the original Democratic wish list, which was the HEROES Act, Which was passed in the House, I think way back in May, which is a $3.4 trillion bill.
	That had $1.13 trillion in state and local aid in that ask.
	And it had everything from $1,200 checks for people to all kinds of other programs that they wanted.
	Mitch McConnell then countered with something he called the HEALS Act, which is hilarious.
	H-E-E? No, it's H-E-A-L-S. I know.
	It would have been good.
	Would have been good.
	But, and even though it was way lower, it was about a trillion dollar deal.
	It did include the $1,200 checks.
	And so this sort of set the parameters of, like, where everybody was negotiating-wise.
	It was going to be, like, a trillion dollars versus $3.4 trillion.
	You know, this is sad.
	We're, like, like...
	We're scrambling for crumbs and scraps from the elites and we're actually arguing about the small pittance they're tossing our way.
	It's really sad.
	When was the last stimulus?
	Six months ago?
	Five months ago?
	Yeah.
	Something like that.
	Oh, please, sir, can I have another?
	Just give me a little bit, please.
	Oh, yeah, no, it's very Dickinsonian.
	Oh, Dickinsonian.
	Dickinsonian.
	Yeah, with waifs and young boys with crutches trying to pick up some coins that were tossed his way.
	That's what it sounds like.
	That's what it does sound like.
	Oh, please, sir, please, can I have a little bit more?
	All right, well, I got my last COVID clips.
	I thought it was a little weak from Ty E.B. I think he's usually a bit more thorough.
	Well, it went on and on.
	I believe I had to cut it way short.
	Okay.
	All right.
	He's busy writing for Substack.
	Yes.
	That's your colleague over there at Substack.
	Substack.
	Oh yes, I write for the same publication that Matt and Glenn.
	Substack squad, baby.
	Substack.
	Hey, and they're doing podcasts now with Substack.
	Did you notice that?
	No.
	Yeah, you can do a podcast.
	Oh, they're horning in?
	Yes!
	Everybody's trying to get into the act.
	I just want them to be 2.0 compliant.
	Go for it.
	Well, I'm over there now, so I can probably put the word in.
	Yeah, get our tags in, baby.
	Okay, let's go with the rollout of the vaccine.
	This is the bad rollout setup.
	Bad rollout setup, ABC News.
	Tonight, a reality check on the vaccine rollout.
	Operation Warp Speed, hoping that 20 million Americans will be vaccinated by the end of the month.
	But so far, just 1 million people have received the vaccine.
	So what's behind the delay?
	And what does that mean for that larger target of 200 million doses delivered by the end of March?
	Here's ABC's Victor Okendo.
	What did I miss?
	I missed it, too.
	When I cut it short like that, there was some reason.
	Let me hear it again.
	Tonight, a reality check on the vaccine rollout.
	Operation Warp Speed, hoping that 20 million Americans will be vaccinated by the end of the month.
	But so far, just 1 million people have received the vaccine.
	So what's behind the delay?
	And what does that mean for that larger target of 200 million doses delivered by the end of March?
	Here's ABC's Victor Okendo.
	Okay.
	Don't know.
	Lost it.
	Well...
	It's again the one million where...
	Yeah, they got this one million number.
	But it's been one million for five days now.
	I keep hearing one million, one million.
	So they stopped shooting up people.
	I don't know what it is.
	Okay.
	Okay, well let's go to the rollout of the clip itself.
	Tonight, as nursing home residents and healthcare workers are among the first to get the vaccines, reality is setting in that the rollout isn't happening as quickly as expected.
	Reality is setting in a lot.
	The shots in arm is happening is slower than we thought.
	The vaccine is making me hear things, John.
	I can't hear straight anymore.
	Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar pledging this less than three weeks ago.
	And so we're going to focus on those most vulnerable and those most on the front lines of treating people with COVID with the initial 40 million doses in the next month.
	Operation Warp Speed now saying they won't even meet their lower goal of having 20 million Americans injected by month's end.
	The latest count, 9 million doses delivered, but only a million Americans have actually received injections so far.
	The federal government has just not done enough for that last mile when it gets to the state and gets into people's arms.
	I'm hoping that pace picks up this week and next.
	But if it doesn't, I think we're going to start getting concerned about whether we can get all these vaccines out to people quickly enough.
	The federal government, however, saying they're still hoping to have 200 million vaccine doses delivered by the end of March.
	Some of that hope now coming to rural America.
	Moderna's vaccine, which doesn't require special refrigeration like Pfizer's, here about to take off from Boise, Idaho for more distant parts of the state.
	And there is now a third vaccine on the horizon.
	Operation Warp Speed expects Johnson& Johnson to apply for that emergency use authorization by early February, and if given the green light, their rollout would begin mid to late February.
	Whit?
	A lot riding on those other vaccines, Victor.
	Thank you.
	All right, thoughts.
	A thought.
	Since the talking points are in every report, the...
	Get it into your arm.
	We want to put the vaccine in arms, in arms, which is a total research talking point.
	What is the least offensive way to tell people we want to get it into them as soon as possible?
	What would be the most effective way?
	And they came up with, get it into arms as quickly as possible.
	They don't even say shoot you in, just get it into the arm.
	Is it possible that they have 9 or 10 million doses out there and really only a million people have showed up so far and they're ramping it up to get people, hey, hey, hey, we got to go now, everyone is vaccinated, new variant.
	Is it possible people are just sitting it out for a bit, have every intention of getting it after some other people have received it?
	Well, I wouldn't, because I'm of the theory that people would line up around the block to get this shot because they're told to do that.
	They're rule followers.
	In California, they can get a million shots done tomorrow.
	But I can't argue against that being a possibility because we were given no evidence one way or the other why this is.
	They just tell us.
	Yeah, we do.
	Well, there's a couple of things they refuse to talk about.
	One, why is this the case?
	They have these shots available.
	Everyone's got them.
	They're shooting up everybody.
	AOC got a shot.
	That is one thing that bugs me, which is the lack of information about that.
	The other thing is I still have not had it explained to me or could I find out why the Pfizer shot has to be damn near frozen.
	What happens to it if it gets to room temperatures?
	Does it just go bad instantly?
	What, in one second it just goes bad?
	Not in one second after a few hours if it thaws out.
	There was a pretty good...
	Let's see if I have it in the show notes.
	It was a pretty good explanation of this.
	What is the process of it going bad?
	I mean, does it oxidize?
	You can put it in an oxygen-free environment to prevent that, so let's just take that out of the equation.
	What does it do?
	I think you're asking too many questions.
	I think I should have the health authorities come and check on you.
	We're one world, one health, baby.
	What's your problem?
	Be quiet.
	There's a great article that I put in the show notes, way too long to read, but it's Reverse Engineering the Source Code of the BioNTech Pfizer-SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine.
	And they break it down all the way down to the genetic code, explain how it's all done.
	But there was kind of something interesting about...
	What was the comparison?
	I had a comparison here that I liked.
	You're going to have to take a look at this in the show notes or bingit.io.
	But to me, because this is different and enough people now know that this is an mRNA and it's not quite the same thing and there's certainly enough fear-mongering out there.
	I hope I've been doing some of it.
	This is something that should be kind of evaluated.
	Maybe we should have some animal testing to see what happens when they're reinfected.
	That has been the biggest problem with any coronavirus vaccine that has been tried in the past.
	Explain that.
	I don't think everyone heard that background.
	Explain that.
	So they inoculate the, I think, ferrets mainly, but maybe some mink, but ferrets.
	Mink!
	With the coronavirus vaccine.
	They have super antibodies.
	Everyone's drinking champagne.
	We're going to be rich.
	But then the ferrets catch the COVID or the coronavirus, and they wind up dying very quickly after a gruesome illness because the illness, somehow, it's twice as worse or amplified.
	Twice as bad.
	Twice as bad.
	Yeah, sorry.
	Twice as bad.
	And the ferrets just wind up dying very quickly.
	I only have just horrible visions in my head.
	But that step was skipped in these trials, is my understanding.
	That's my understanding, too.
	And that's what a lot of people bitch about.
	But I don't think the general public has a clue about that any more than they do about the Hunter Biden laptop just before the election.
	So I'm not buying that as a factor.
	It's not a factor.
	Well, everybody I hear who intends on taking it eventually winds up saying, yeah, I'm just going to wait for a little bit.
	You know, and then you get a story, you know, nurse faints, nurse seems to be dead, nurse isn't dead.
	Dead nurse.
	There's a great video of the dead nurse on YouTube where a guy goes to the death registry of the state, and there it is.
	Her name, her age, her state, the death on the day that she fainted.
	I don't know, man.
	It's the internet.
	Who knows?
	Just to pad before we get to the break, I do have the same vaccine rollout report, but this is a variation because this is from PBS. Oh, hold on a second.
	And it's called Thurow.
	This is a Thurow vaccine rollout.
	Ooh, this is sexy.
	A little different.
	All right, here we go.
	As people around the world gather to celebrate Christmas this weekend, the coronavirus continues to cast a shadow.
	The number of people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the U.S. remains near record high levels, including in California.
	Not California!
	And the surge is putting more pressure on hospitals in parts of the Golden State.
	Again?
	In Los Angeles County, which is home to 10 million people, record numbers of COVID-19 patients are hospitalized and in intensive care.
	L.A. County is also among those...
	Wait a minute, they say record numbers, but don't say what the numbers are.
	That's kind of bizarre.
	Hold on a second.
	Oh, is it really?
	...are hospitalized and in intensive care.
	Hold on a second.
	In Los Angeles County, which is home to 10 million people, record numbers of COVID-19 patients are hospitalized and in intensive care.
	LA County is also among those testing to see if a new strain of coronavirus, which was found spreading in England, is here in the U.S. Starting Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will require people traveling from the U.K. to the U.S. to test negative for the virus within three days of their trip.
	The U.S. is now one of more than a dozen countries to place restrictions on travelers from the U.K. The new strain seems to spread more easily, but is not believed to be more dangerous.
	And health officials say newly developed vaccines will likely work against this new strain.
	Here in the U.S., more than 1.1 million people have already gotten a COVID-19 vaccine shot, and more doses are rolling out around the world.
	European Union countries started getting their first shipments of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, that's today, part of a coordinated effort across the 27-nation block.
	The first shots were given in Hungary and Germany, which started a day before many other EU countries.
	In this first wave, each country is receiving about 10,000 doses with mass vaccination efforts expected to begin across the block next month.
	A couple of things.
	What is the point of telling the American audience, or anybody else for that matter, that Hungary and Germany start doing their shots a day before everyone else?
	I don't know.
	It makes no sense.
	I mean, who cares?
	Well, I think it's to make Trump look bad.
	Well, he thinks it's to make Trump look bad.
	And then he said they're going to get 10,000 doses.
	It's not even the size of Freiburg.
	I mean, there's no...
	Freiburg.
	What's the point?
	There's not enough doses to do jack.
	And is that only half?
	Maybe he meant 10 million.
	That would make more sense.
	I don't know what's the 10,000.
	That's not 10,000.
	Why even bother?
	The news is no good.
	The news is no...
	There you go.
	That's the top of the show.
	The news is no good.
	That's pretty much it.
	It's just no good.
	I'm glad y'all show up here.
	It's no good.
	Glad y'all show up here.
	All right.
	Before we take a look at our executive producers and associate executive producers, just a quick Kraken update.
	Steal the vote so we know where we're standing because the big day, January 6th, the wild protest is still on.
	This is the day that apparently, I use the word, everything will change.
	This is the day that change is predicted as Mike Pence will come and save the Republic.
	Mike Pence.
	Mike Pence.
	Hey, wouldn't it be great if a former radio guy saved the Constitution and the Republic?
	Oh, the podcasting would go through the roof.
	I'm counting on you, Mike.
	Podcaster Pence on the pod.
	Ugh.
	So here's the latest.
	Now we have some fantastic new evidence coming in, which I'm not going to share, mainly because it's It's so inaudible, but there's a rather lengthy audio recording of a number of operatives discussing ballots being flown in on Korean air and a number of people involved in taking these ballots and shipping them off to the counting centers.
	So that's some evidence that is out there.
	It doesn't sound like evidence.
	It sounds like a commentary.
	Well, when you hear...
	It's not appropriate for the show because you need to be listening.
	It's a crap clip.
	Yeah, it's a crap clip.
	There's also a new video with a number of Georgia election fraud witnesses.
	And these are just people off the street and they all have mainly mail-in ballot or they couldn't vote because their vote had already been cast.
	That's about an hour of multiple people.
	And nearly two-thirds of Georgia counties have failed to produce chain of custody documents for 460,000 absentee ballots.
	So there's lots of stuff out there.
	There's a new legal memo, which again shows that Pence could probably make some difference, that there is a constitutional path.
	But my favorite is the Washington Post's Has identified L. Sid, Sidney Powell's secret witness.
	She has a surprise secret witness.
	And this secret witness is a pro-Trump podcaster.
	I can't wait to meet said secret witness.
	There's nothing like a podcaster to save the Republic and the Constitution.
	And if all else fails, we'll bring in Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
	Who just did an interview with American Thought Leaders, a podcast I subscribed to, so I came across this.
	And, well, here's what he's saying, and you can listen to the whole 45 minutes, but this is kind of the crux, and it's not really reassuring.
	It's empires come and go.
	Nation-states fail.
	So this experiment, is this experiment waxing?
	Are we still growing as the beacon of hope for the rest of the world?
	I still believe that in my heart, but I know that there is a dimension of our experiment that is sort of in our face right now.
	And the American public have to decide.
	Again, sort of we the people, the American public, have to decide what is it that they want.
	And because we will not last forever.
	You know, as we get through this election, particularly this election, which is a crucible moment in our history, unprecedented, never happened before.
	And it's an embarrassment to me as an American citizen, never mind somebody who served in our highest levels of our government.
	To the rest of the world because of what we have done for others around the world and we can't even get our own damn elections correct.
	Moving forward, we have to have a reconciliation between the government and we the people and the people of this country.
	The American people give us everything.
	When you're talking about government, we don't exist without the American people.
	We have to remind ourselves that we work for the American people.
	We don't work for the institution.
	And that idea, to me, has been lost.
	Yeah.
	It doesn't really sound...
	Very encouraging.
	And a crucible moment.
	What exactly is a crucible moment?
	I think it's a term that he made up.
	Because a crucible is, well, I know this biblical term, a vessel.
	Hmm.
	It doesn't mean anything.
	I mean, what he means is a turning point, I think.
	But I would look to watch this, and he seems somewhat depressed.
	Yes, although everyone I speak to who knows him says, nah, he's all upbeat.
	If that's upbeat, we've got problems.
	We had the Brooklyn Conservatives over last night for a Christmas drink.
	You had the conservatives over.
	The Brooklyn conservatives, yeah.
	The ones who escaped Brooklyn, yeah.
	And they'll leave Brooklyn, they're so conservative.
	But they got an offer on their house, they're very happy.
	They're trying to sell it before everything melts down entirely.
	Oh, the house in Brooklyn?
	Yeah, they're very relieved.
	Oh, they're on easy street.
	They're probably taking a little bit of a beating, but right now is a good time to get out of New York.
	Yes, indeed.
	Yeah, they are taking a beating, but I think they're really happy.
	Anyway, they're going to take a bigger beating if they wait, yeah.
	So he's the chief financial officer of a major entertainment corporation, so he has interesting insights into stuff.
	And there is still a huge belief amongst their circle of friends that Trump's got this covered, and he will be president.
	I know, I... The giggle isn't necessary, John.
	These are our friends.
	The guffaw might be even more appropriate.
	There's definitely a path, but holy moly, when you hear...
	Well, there's always a path.
	I'm not arguing there's no path.
	Yeah, but when you hear Flynn, he just didn't sound like, we're going to do this, it's going to be great.
	No, it's like, it's a crucible moment.
	I'm still looking up crucible.
	I missed all the message.
	Well, I didn't find that to be an uplifting conversation, but he's been battered.
	He seems like a beaten man in some funny way, which really took me back because he's a general and he's a tough guy.
	He's one of those guys you expect to be a tough guy.
	I'm a tough guy.
	Yeah, tough guy.
	But he didn't seem like a tough guy.
	He seemed like a guy who was fed up with being beaten up.
	If I hadn't for...
	Three years been waiting for the thousands of sealed indictments, I would still be quite excited about the possibilities.
	The sealed indictments, yes, well you've been primed For disappointment.
	Well, I'm not going to be disappointed.
	With the sealed indictment bull crap from Alda Genoa.
	I'm not going to be disappointed because I'm protected against that.
	It'll be okay.
	That the elections were messed up, that has to be fixed.
	That has to be fixed.
	No, that will be fixed eventually.
	I think it will.
	It takes a couple of years.
	It's lax.
	It's lax.
	Out here in California, it's lax.
	No one will go to jail and something will get fixed.
	Well, you're finally getting a clue.
	Yeah, and with that, let me thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who actually put the sea in the crucible moment, John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room, noagendastream.com.
	Hands up, trolls.
	Let me count you, 1875 for a Sunday, the day after Christmas, two days after Christmas.
	We'll take it.
	We'll take it.
	It's not all that bad.
	In the morning to you.
	Thank you so much for being here.
	The trolls are live trolls.
	If you've ever wanted to catch one, go to noagendastream.com.
	Now, there's a stream you can listen to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which is live when shows are live from Gitmo Nation.
	We're live.
	Darren O'Neill is live.
	Rhino the Beard is live.
	It's live.
	A lot of live.
	And you can then discuss this and hang out with trolls.
	Which is fab to do.
	And if it's not a live stream, there's another podcast.
	You can just go in there just to hang out and just troll around.
	And if you're there, make sure you ask for an invite to our little tribal community over at noagendasocial.com.
	It's our algo-free social network, which is federated.
	It works across all of these different instances.
	It is a great way for you to have conversations.
	Have a social network that isn't controlling you.
	You're controlling it because there's no outgoes.
	You start at the top, you get down to something you read before you're done.
	And then, you know, you can surf around if you want to, but there's nothing trying to make you more angry than you already may be.
	And that is NoAgendaSocial.com.
	From there, we'd like to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1306.
	We called that Antigenic Drift.
	And John Fletcher brought us the Santa with, uh, snuck a goat in there, but Santa coming through the wrapping paper of the page, which...
	No, no, no.
	It wasn't Fletcher.
	It says Fletcher right here.
	No, there's Martin Jay.
	Hmm.
	Was that a mistake?
	You credited it to Fletcher?
	I guess so.
	Fletcher was the show before.
	Oh, crap.
	Well, then I didn't...
	No one alerted me to this error on the page.
	Well, Mountain J should have.
	Well, I didn't get anything.
	Well, you know what it is?
	It's the...
	So, in the regular credits, I probably did it correctly.
	Let me see.
	Credits...
	Art by...
	Yes, in the regular credits, I did it properly, but then down by the cover art, I somehow messed that up, so we'll fix that right away.
	Hey, congratulations, Mountain Jay!
	You did it again!
	Good work!
	Good save.
	In the nick of time, no one will notice.
	She wrote a little bit about this.
	Oh, on the social?
	Oh, do tell.
	Do tell.
	She said that she was aware of your complaining about the busyness of the antique art.
	And so she decided to just have the antique art peeking out by tearing its way through into the new art.
	Well, she nailed it on that.
	And so she...
	And she was proud of herself for her creation.
	And she should be.
	It's a very pretty piece.
	It's a great piece.
	And she's got a little rain stick or something with a goat on it.
	I don't know what that is, but...
	Well, it looks like a rain stick, it looks like.
	Or is that a banger?
	Is that a Christmas banger?
	Cracker?
	Christmas cracker, that's what it is.
	Christmas cracker.
	It's got a goat on it.
	No, it's a Christmas cracker and you pull it on each side and there's a little cap in there where the goat is.
	It's a British thing.
	I don't know what it is.
	It looks like a bong.
	I need a goat bong.
	Goat bong.
	Let's just be honest about it.
	That's something every boy needs.
	A good goat bong.
	Let me see if there's anything.
	I know there was other stuff that we looked at.
	Yeah, let's take a look.
	Let me see.
	Yeah, there was a number of pieces.
	There was usable pieces.
	Excuse me, but we decided, or I probably decided, Or made the statement, it's got to have Santa or some Christmas thing.
	No disagreement there.
	So we have a butt with a gildo.
	No, we do not.
	There's a butt in there somewhere.
	Again?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Keep looking.
	I got the soup Nazi, the no vaccine for you soup Nazi.
	It's not a Christmas art.
	It's like it's season 137.
	I got an idea.
	I'll do the soup Nazi as some sort of Obama poster.
	I mean, no.
	They're the three monkeys.
	No evidence from Fletcher, you know.
	No Christmas theme there.
	Good as a coin toss.
	No Christmas theme there.
	And there's another one.
	Another Fletcher.
	Fletcher does the American flag in Chinese colors.
	New year, new look, no agenda.
	Again, no Christmassy anything there.
	And right next to that is the butt.
	Kind of Christmassy.
	So, as an additional hint for the artist.
	The butt was done by Fletcher this time.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, take a look.
	I don't want to look at Fletcher's butt.
	Take a look at Fletcher's butt.
	I'm not even going to start with that.
	So this art, when you're making the art, please consider how small it's going to be on most screens.
	Most screens will be the size that you see on noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Not the full 500, but like 256.
	By 256.
	So when you put all these words in it and different fonts, it's not going to pop.
	No one's going to be able to read it.
	There's not a lot of ways to blow it up.
	And you're just kind of missing good opportunity.
	There's a lot of stuff in here that's just too busy.
	And so, yes, I appreciate Mountain Jay.
	This is my old eyes.
	When I look at this old Christmas art, I'm like, ugh, I can't see what's going on.
	It's a lot of red and green colors, which are my two problem colors.
	Oh, yes, we have to remember that Adam is colorblind.
	Yeah, which doesn't mean I can't see that the one next to that is red and the next to that has blue letters.
	What color is the butt?
	Never mind.
	Go on.
	I'm sorry.
	So Mountain Jay did a good thing here.
	Used old-fashioned art in a very, very smart contemporary way and made it usable.
	It popped.
	Santa's literally popping off the page.
	What more can I say?
	It's beautiful.
	Love it.
	Thank you very much, Mountain Jay, and thank you to all the artists who participated in our Value for Value system, which is exactly what it sounds like.
	You get some value out of the show, put some back in.
	And even if your art isn't chosen, it's very, very valuable to us to be able to look at it, discuss it, and it's how the whole system works.
	Everybody produces this show.
	We are your conduits, as John said earlier.
	And you can find all the artwork, take a look at it, thenoagendaartgenerator.com.
	And now, let's thank a number of our fabulous executive producers and associate executive producers for this post-Christmas episode, episode 1307 of the No Agenda show.
	Yeah, starting with Sir Francis of SRQ, Duke of Southwest Florida in Arcadia, Florida, 1225.20.
	No explanation for that.
	ITM, gents, and a very merry Christmas, he writes to you both.
	I cannot thank you enough for the continued media deconstruction served up with plenty of laughs.
	It has certainly been a crazy year, but all of us in the NA family were well prepared for this sham-demic, thanks to you two, and I'm now sending in your well-deserved holiday bonus.
	Oh.
	Things are not too bad down here in Florida, thanks to Republican leadership in the governor's mansion, but we still have plenty of mask Nazis running around.
	I have a good title for a show.
	Mask Nazis?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you want to see how fast we're deplatformed from Twitter?
	Oh, good point.
	Okay, mask Nazis is out.
	Mm-hmm.
	I have been approached by a few of them as I don't wear a mask.
	There's no standard statewide mask mandate in place here.
	And I was telling them that I already had the virus and I have antibodies, which is total BS, but I have decided to start telling them to look into the No Agenda podcast.
	Instead, I would suggest others do the same.
	It would be a good recruiting tool, NJNK today, but I would like to add a new offering to the roundtable for future use in the nighting ceremonies.
	Please add cocaine and collard greens, a soon-to-be Southern favorite.
	No, I will do no such thing.
	If someone requests that, then I will bring it to the table.
	We don't just serve drugs gratuitously.
	Those collard greens will mess you up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Actually, the way it should have been structured is the following.
	Cocaine and collard greens.
	What are you trying to screw people up?
	Nobody likes collard greens.
	Anyway.
	Yeah, it would have been better.
	Not much.
	No genius, no karma.
	Thank you for that.
	And we're good.
	Next is Corey Hussing, who I think comes in with $1,000 from Colorado Springs, Colorado and sets the stage for probably the best note.
	Ever written for anyone contributing over 300 bucks.
	He writes, Thanks fellas!
	You're welcome!
	You're welcome!
	You're more than welcome.
	Meanwhile, you can read Dave Fukuzotto's Duke of America Heartland.
	$333 Gladstone, Missouri is actually a Saudi Arabian note, which is usually not a note but a report.
	Yes, he says, just a donation in case there's a post-holiday slump.
	Well, there always is, but thank you very much.
	Unfortunately, dreams of being reunited with my dames were stymied.
	Now, he has been away from home for eight light years.
	It's been crazy how long they have not seen each other.
	I think, have we not met...
	We've had dinner with his wife and daughter, with Melody and Isabella, twice now maybe?
	It's crazy.
	You've seen him more than he has.
	I have.
	So unfortunately, dreams of being reunited with my dames were stymied by Saudi Arabia's last-minute cancellation of all flights in and out of the kingdom for fears of the new strain of the virus.
	Thanks, UK. They were hours from starting the multi-day journey when the news broke, so that kind of was a bummer, but hey, what can you do?
	We got over the initial shock and frustration and managed to celebrate a merry virtual Christmas just the same by video chatting for several hours Christmas Day.
	After all, it's no use fretting over things that are out of our control.
	We chose to accept the situation and unfocus what we could control, namely our reactions to it.
	We're grateful for technology that kept us connected, for good health, safety, employment, good friends, and great podcasts.
	Truly, too many blessings to count.
	If this year and the No Agenda show has taught us anything, it's that a positive mindset and calm, rational examination of the situation goes a long way towards maintaining good mental hygiene, i.e.
	normal-sized amygdala.
	If we allow the situation, life, not the guy from the Jersey Shore...
	To influence our reactions negatively, what does it do?
	How does getting pissed off, whining, complaining, etc.
	help us?
	It doesn't.
	It predisposes us towards chronic negativity if left unchecked.
	We've all been around those types.
	They suck the happiness out of the room and it's exhausting to be around them.
	And that's why John's in California.
	We couldn't be in the same room.
	This has been a tough year for all of us, and hopefully you don't get sick of hearing it, but this show has meant so much to us as a family, the Fuguzotos and the extended Noah Gendonation, and we're all better off for being a part of it.
	Thank you for your courage and for the best podcast in the universe.
	No jingles, but a piping hot cup of goat karma for the new year would be greatly appreciated.
	You betcha.
	I have some goat karma, which is...
	I heard a piping hot part.
	It's piping hot.
	Ow!
	Ow!
	I didn't mean to do that.
	Here's a goat karma.
	Piping hot, it's served up.
	Here we go.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Piping hot.
	Piping hot.
	Kevin Mulcahy in the Bronx.
	The Bronx.
	The Bronx 25510.
	In the morning, guys, how kind of you to have a show on the day I complete 55 revolutions around the star Sol.
	For my birthday, I'd appreciate a dedouching with a little girl yay.
	I told Adam in an earlier email that I once canceled my cable.
	Once I canceled my cable, I would start donating, and I have kept my word.
	Hold on.
	Let me do the dedouching first.
	You've been If you would be so kind as to give me a full Reverend Allen a boogity boogity for jingles.
	For jingles.
	That's the sentence end.
	My you two fine gents and your families as well as all the dames and nice trolls and even the douchebags have a healthy, happy and safe new year aging gracefully.
	Kevin Mulcahy.
	All right, Kevin.
	Since we don't have a lot of jingles, you're in luck.
	You're in luck.
	She's getting lunch at Chipotle.
	The Tortoise in the race.
	Kim Kardashian.
	Sigournoy Weaver.
	What are ESPICT? 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.
	We must.
	Just a little bit.
	And we will much.
	Just a little bit.
	About.
	Just a little bit.
	Be committed.
	Hey, man.
	Those are drivers and users around.
	Lord, I want to thank you for this holy hotline.
	There you go.
	Done.
	That was $255.10 for Kevin, and he's the first executive, associate executive producer, followed by Ezekiel Chopper, and he is from Westminster, Colorado, $250.
	Hey, guys, he writes, I want to put this associate executive producer credit in my mom's name, uh-uh, switcheroo, Katie Chopper, as it's her birthday on the 29th.
	She's on the list.
	Thanks, Mom, for raising us kids.
	Raising us up right.
	And I'm glad you're enjoying the show.
	Oh, she listens.
	Jingles.
	In the morning, Christmas morning.
	And a karma with an extra harp if you can manage it.
	What is this Christmas?
	I don't think we have a Christmas morning.
	We just have a regular in the morning.
	We got in the morning.
	Yeah, we got...
	In the morning.
	Oh, there you go.
	This is better.
	In the morning.
	In the morning.
	I think that'll do it.
	That's perfect.
	That does it.
	You've got...
	With a goat instead of harp.
	Enjoy.
	Uh, Nicky and the Lucky Dogs.
	One of two long notes in a row, I might add.
	Pushing your luck, big ball.
	222 from La Jolla, California.
	In the morning from La Jolla, California.
	It's Nicky at Lucky Dog Sanctuary.
	I'm so grateful to have fixed the sound on my computer because the last several hours have been epic.
	Well, I liken your humor to the band playing as the Titanic sank.
	I'm hopeful the sounds you produce might actually save this great ship of ours.
	Leaving California is not an option, so I'm doing what I can to stay afloat in my little lifeboat.
	Rona Lockdown's murdered most industries, but midway through 2020, they boosted ours.
	Beach rental hosts in San Diego were met with a river of people who would suddenly work from anywhere.
	They went to a beach.
	The beach, woohoo!
	Yeah.
	Luckily, the abundant breeze of wind and sea beach.
	Windensee Beach.
	Windensee Beach.
	Quickly sweeps away the odor of sheep duty, and I was able to make friends with maskers and anti-maskers alike.
	Anyways, a chokehold been put on the lodging industry, now out-of-state reservations, and all to be made for essential travel.
	Apparently, if people cross imaginary lines for non-essential reasons to stay in our completely private vacation rentals, we're all gonna die.
	Can't argue with that.
	Science.
	Hey.
	Science aside, I need to keep myself and the lucky dogs afloat.
	I invite anyone who can rent one of our villas legally to do so.
	Coming to La Jolla for doctor appointments, home shopping, and pajama party protests should be legal and essential to get pla...
	So please get your butts to La Jolla to do some essential things and make some memories that will last a lifetime.
	No Agenda can save 10-20% on direct booking.
	Email me at the sanctuary.
	Just go to our website, ljk9.com.
	Thanks in advance.
	Love some karma for my health and the pets.
	I also like an F cancer for my service dog and another pack member lost in 2020.
	I know Adam hates dogs, but he likes donations.
	So shut up, slave.
	Jingles, F cancer, then you got karma.
	I close with a boogity boogity.
	Amen.
	Pete, there are people who on the street yell at me because they think I hate dogs.
	This is not a fact.
	This is not true.
	I did want to mention, since this is an obvious problem, John, I'm going to give you something that you will have fun doing.
	At the beginning, as we were preparing for lockdowns, you may recall, now I'm going back to February, March, March, People were receiving papers from their companies, mainly dudes named Ben and other so-called essential personnel.
	And it was an official worded document.
	There's plenty of copies of it around.
	It just needs no agenda identification marks on it.
	Because media is essential.
	Media is exempt from lockdowns.
	We should have available producers.
	How about this?
	Let's do this in a little web widget.
	Someone can throw this together where you type in your name so it doesn't look like it was filled in.
	It's all done nicely right off the bat.
	So if you're apprehended by the authorities, you can say, I'm sorry, media.
	I'm a producer.
	For the No Agenda show.
	And then you're good to go.
	You can rent the, you can get the rental, you can drive around, because all you have to do is just show your piece of paper that you are essential because you're media.
	And we should be providing this to all producers, do you not think?
	Uh, I think a form would be good.
	Sure, then you just put it in your Word document, put your name on it, and just have the logos, just the logos that really impress people.
	Can you do that?
	Can you mock something up?
	You like doing that stuff, don't you?
	Oh, I love doing that stuff.
	Gotcha.
	Okay.
	you've got karma I will send something through our No Agenda copy editor who remains anonymous because she works with people that would hate her having anything to do with anything.
	And we'll get a nice little document put together.
	I'll do it in the right form, which means only the top half of the...
	I know what these things are supposed to look like, and so I can write something up.
	And it's genuine, since it's producership.
	I'll just put the doc file in one of the newsletters, and people will just download that, and then they can put their name in it.
	Subscribe to the newsletter, people.
	You know, have the fonts embedded, so you can get the right font.
	That's...
	You're going all out.
	You're going to give the print.
	It's called a checkbox.
	We move on to Dame Ashley, Lady of the Lake, $205 from Mayfield Heights, Ohio, and she says, Hello, boys.
	I recently received a $160 windfall, and I thought rather than spending it on myself, I would donate it.
	Plus $45 in honor of my wonderful husband, Chris Blanco, a.k.a.
	Surreal Estate's 45th birthday on December 28th.
	Chris is an amazing husband to me and an incredible father to all of our kids.
	He's my all-time favorite person and I don't know what I would ever do without him.
	I credit Chris along with my yoga practice and listening to No Agenda for being the three things that have kept me sane this year.
	I could never thank him or the two of you enough for everything you do.
	I hope you all know how much you're appreciated by me.
	I believe everyone when they say that the couple that No Agendas Together stays together, I think that Chris and I have listened to No Agenda Together for so long we've become more like the two of you.
	Great marriage.
	I often tell Chris that he is the Adam Curry to my John C. Dvorak.
	I just mean that he's more like Adam when it comes to the optimistic way he views the world.
	Thousands of field indictments.
	Whereas I am much less optimistic and, well, probably more cynical, and therefore my views align much closer with John's.
	Chris agrees with me that I'm more like John and that he's like Adam, and we both think that those are extraordinarily high compliments to give each other.
	I agree.
	Looking...
	It's a little long, Dame Ashley.
	Looking back over this year, I struggled to find...
	You should know better.
	I struggled to find much that made me happy other than my aforementioned husband, yoga, and you guys.
	But I think it's fair to say that another highlight was attending and hosting no agenda meetups.
	Now, this is important.
	This is why I want to read this.
	The people that you meet at a No Agenda Meetup are the most interesting, fun, creative, weird, and wonderful people you will ever meet.
	I've met so many lovely people through the meetups and No Agenda Social.
	Obviously, the best podcast in the universe is going to attract the best people in the universe, and that is exactly who you will find at a No Agenda meetup.
	In November, Chris and I had some fellow No Agenda producers over to our home for a super spreader event.
	It was the most fun I've had all year.
	I love all of you guys.
	Hope you're ready to have another meetup soon.
	If you're a No Agenda producer in the Northeast Ohio area, I would ask that you please consider joining No Agenda Social, following me at Dame Ashley and Chris at AtSirRealEstate.
	It's much easier to reach out to people on there than through direct messages, as sometimes meetup plans can change.
	I never want anyone to be left out.
	With the group that we already have, I know we all want to organize and do something to show our displeasure with this new normal.
	Maybe you'll be protesting by going somewhere without a mask.
	Shocking, I know.
	Whoever thought that having your face uncovered would be a form of a protest and that seeing a bare face would be so offensive to people is really weird.
	A strange world we inhabit now.
	Anyway, thank you both again for my sanity.
	uh Hold on a second, I've got to scroll to the bottom.
	For educating all of us on what is really going on in the world, and for the community that has sprung up around the two of us, or the two of you.
	That's not really true.
	I don't know what I'd do without it.
	Happy New Year.
	I love you.
	Mean it.
	Now, what I thought was interesting...
	About what she's saying here about the No Agenda community and the meetups.
	One of our producers sent me a 1964 Playboy PDF. That had 1964, so the year I was born, 56 years ago.
	Marshall McLuhan was the big interview in that particular edition.
	And it's got to be 25,000 words.
	And in 1964, he was already predicting with the electronic society, which is what we're in now, that we would go back to tribalism.
	And that...
	I think that kind of makes sense, that when you have a global village, it doesn't work.
	You need your tribe.
	You need your tribe, funny enough, with your own beliefs, which could be dimension A or dimension B, and it will never work on one social network or in one gathering place.
	We don't even agree on God.
	Nowhere.
	So I just thought it was interesting to see that this seems to be a part of what's taking place.
	Maybe this has been a prediction for a long time that has come from others, but you read this Marshall McLuhan interview, he nails everything to the T, right down to being over-socialized and under-informed.
	I'm going to send you this copy, John.
	I think you'll really enjoy it.
	Yeah, I'm a McLuhan nut.
	No, this is...
	And this, I think, is right after his...
	The medium is the message quote, which is in one of his books.
	Well, it wasn't a quote, it was a book.
	A book, yeah.
	So, it's 64, man.
	The guy was turned on.
	He knew what was happening.
	Okay.
	We'll look forward to that.
	Nicholas Brownstead in Chicago, Illinois.
	That comes in with 20339.
	And he has some jingles.
	China's asshole.
	You will obey.
	Manning, Bitcoin, goat karma.
	Notes for the show.
	Hey, guys.
	I guess that's our new thing.
	Start spelling it with a Z, please.
	Look, here's the deal.
	It's 20339 donation.
	It's 6969 plus LEET 13370 donation.
	Okay.
	I'm an old millennial who was hitting the mouse from the Adams JRE appearance back in March.
	Okay.
	Oh, I was waiting for the jingle.
	I know, I know.
	I'm actually setting up all his other jingles.
	Okay, never mind.
	The new agenda has woke me in the right way.
	Not a joke, man.
	Anyways, as Joe Biden surrenders to Queen Kamala's reign in the coming months, I look forward to no agenda's deconstruction at M5M. Farce we will witness.
	JCD's Zephyr report provides me great value as a derivatives trader here in Chirac.
	Oh, yeah.
	So I wanted to chip in with some value of my own, keeping on doing the work.
	I'll keep hitting people in the mouth.
	Merry Crypto Christmas and a Happy New Year.
	P.S. To celebrate Bitcoin's $26,000 and soon to be $27,000, I create a Bitcoin Karma jingle.
	And he has it attached somewhere.
	We may use it.
	I have it.
	Right now or sometime in the future.
	I have it.
	I have it.
	I gots it.
	We'll be using it.
	Yes.
	And that will be, so he says, yeah, roll on.
	That was the end of his note?
	Yeah.
	So between the time he made this donation and sent the note, Bitcoin actually broke through 28,000, which was Max Keiser's number for the end of the year.
	I'll give him that.
	And now it's down a bit into just a hair over 27,000.
	Rogan Donation.
	China is an asshole!
	You will obey.
	Oh!
	They're saying that all hell is going to break loose and you're going to need a Bitcoin.
	You've got Bitcoin.
	Karma.
	Woo!
	That's the meta thing there.
	You've got Bitcoin, Karma.
	Good one.
	That's cute.
	I like it.
	Forgive Me Podfather writes, Marshall Brown out of Centerville, Ohio for a $200 donation, the last of our associate executive producers for today's show, 1207.
	1307, sorry.
	1307.
	Yeah, really?
	What are you doing, man?
	Forgive me, Podfather, for I'm a douche of FEMA Region 5, Ohio sector under the great fear of Fuhrer DeWine's rule.
	I have yet to tie it to the greatest podcast in the universe until now, and I'm not even using my own treasure to do so.
	My father and brother, both douches themselves, are lifting me out of the muck of douchedom.
	Ha!
	As a celebration of 31 trips around the sun on the 29th of December, please de-douche me!
	You've been de-douched.
	To my smoking hot wife of 15 days, Kay Lynn, thank you for being so amazing and keeping my amygdala small.
	Can I get enough cancer for my auntie Tess Teresa in Alberta, Scandinavia, and a China asshole for the CCP-19 virus unleashed this year?
	Yet another product made in China to boycott.
	Donald Trump, don't trust China!
	China is asshole!
	You've got karma.
	And that will conclude our list of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1307.
	And this last one says Jordan Brown was the one who wrote this note.
	So I'm wondering if Jordan is the...
	No, no, it's Kaylin.
	Okay, Jordan must be his...
	It's probably something else.
	It should be credited probably to Jordan.
	Oh, really?
	Should I put Jordan on there?
	Yeah, instead of Marshall.
	I'm guessing.
	I think Jordan.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Well, I do have two other things here.
	I was scrolling down the list, like way down.
	I mean, I caught this from David...
	I think $13.06, which is for the previous show, which would be $13.06.
	Just wanted to read it.
	It says, I'm a 67-year-old guy, retired, now living on fixed income, so I can't give a lot.
	Adam, started listening to rock and roll on AM transistor radios, went in bed, underground rock and roll music, worked as a chemist for 34 years at Bethlehem Steel, went Chapter 11, then was sold to Indian, then Russian-owned company, liquidated under Chapter 7 in 2012.
	Work pension was cut in half and now paid by government-funded PBGC. Found work at community colleges lab tech prepping student science labs for two years.
	Found work closer to home as a grantee with the EPA doing state laboratory drinking water inspections.
	Were you drinking it?
	As a grantee, EPA hires senior age professionals for up to $12 an hour.
	Oh, hold on.
	To do the work of their regular employees, making five times as much.
	Yikes.
	Keep up the good work that you do, Dave.
	I just want to say, Dave, we appreciate it.
	This is a story that is a precursor to a lot of stories that are going to happen probably within the next four or five years.
	Which is when this economy goes, like Trump predicted, goes into the tank, people are going to lose their pensions.
	And he's got his pension.
	He's getting half of his original pension, which I'm sure was substantial.
	But now he's getting it from some government insurance for pensions that went bad.
	He only gets half as much.
	It could be the point where you get nothing.
	So this is going to be ugly.
	Well, this is what George Carlin predicted.
	He said they're coming for your pensions.
	They're going to have to because there's no way that these agencies and companies can afford these pensions.
	They promise more than they can deliver.
	And an emergency F-cancer karma request from Sir J.D., Baron of the Psycon Valley, gents.
	And he also says belated Christmas birthday wishes to Sister Frances.
	She's on the list.
	And F-cancer goat karma, please.
	Donald trying to escape COVID-19 lockdown so that he can start his radiation treatments.
	F-cancer.
	Yes, man.
	No problem.
	We do that for Barron's nights and all royalty here on the show.
	Fuck it!
	You've got karma.
	And those are the thanks and the notes and the magic numbers from our executive and associate executive producers.
	$200 or above gets your notes read.
	Please keep it within normal conversation because there are lots of other people listening along.
	And we will be thanking more people because a lot of people produce these shows in our second donation segment.
	But for now, I'd like to remind you we have one more show coming up before the end of 2020.
	What a year it's been.
	That will be on New Year's Eve on the 31st.
	That's when John and I continue to work.
	I don't think we've...
	Tina seems to believe we took a year off once.
	Did we take a Christmas off or a New Year's off?
	I think we've taken Christmas off.
	I don't recall taking a New Year's off.
	Yeah.
	And we enjoy it because there's nothing else.
	Everyone's going to listen to us because there is nothing.
	Yeah, everyone else is on...
	I don't know where they're even going on vacation.
	Everything's locked down, but somehow the media people, the hotshots, the elites in the media, they're all in Cabo.
	Yeah, with our mayor in the family timeshare.
	Please consider a donation and support in our Value for Value model for the very last show of 2020.
	For more information, very simple.
	Sing along.
	Go to this website.
	And we thank you for your time, your talent, and your treasure in producing episode 1307 of No Agenda.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order. Order.
	Shut up, Slade.
	Shut up, Slade.
	Now, John, before we get too far away from Christmas, I do have a question for you.
	I don't know.
	When did Kwanzaa really become a thing in the United States, or Canada for that matter?
	Do you recall?
	I don't know that it ever became a thing.
	It was an invention.
	It makes no sense because it's supposed to be a harvest festival or something and it's right in the middle of winter.
	Here, anyway.
	I could look it up, but I know you have something to tell me, so I'm not going to bother.
	But was it during Obama's years that it really came?
	No, it was waiting for Obama.
	Okay.
	How far do you think?
	According to the Book of Knowledge, I'll just tell you, that Kwanzaa was created in 1966 during the aftermath of the Watts Riots.
	And it was specifically an African-American holiday and this Maulana Karenga, who created it, said his goal was to, quote, give blacks an alternative to the existing holiday of Christmas and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history rather than simply imitate the practice of dominant society.
	So this would be, if you are truly...
	So he just said...
	He made it up.
	Well, yeah, he made it up, but he's refusing to acknowledge the fact that a good portion, if not the majority, of black Americans are Christians.
	Well, yes.
	Correct.
	Correct.
	So he's insulting them in some way.
	I don't know anyone who celebrates Kwanzaa.
	Yes, you do.
	Very famous person who celebrates Kwanzaa.
	You?
	No.
	No, no, no.
	And let me just specify.
	Kwanzaa is celebrated on the winter solstice, December 21st.
	So this came out on the 25th, on Christmas.
	This is the most famous person who celebrates Kwanzaa.
	Happy holidays, everyone.
	I wanted to take a moment to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Kwanzaa.
	Like so many other holidays, we will be celebrating Kwanzaa a little differently this season in our home.
	We'll be doing it over Zoom.
	You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa.
	Every year, our family and our extended family, we would gather around across multiple generations.
	And we'd tell stories.
	I saw.
	Hold on a second.
	So, in Canada, when she was growing up, because that's where she grew up, but maybe after she was 12, when she got back to the United States, they started celebrating Kwanzaa, but she makes it sound like this was really a thing in her non-African-American household.
	It is the worst form of cultural appropriation you can do as a person, I think, regarding Kwanzaa.
	It's pretend that you celebrated it.
	You're not African American.
	It's not a black thing, lady.
	It's an African American thing.
	If that, because I agree, if I say to Mo, happy Kwanzaa, he spit takes at me.
	You're like, bro, we're Christian.
	We celebrate Christmas in our house.
	Our home.
	We'll be doing it over Zoom.
	You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa.
	Every year, our family and our extended family, we would gather around across multiple generations, and we'd tell stories.
	The kids would sit on the carpet, and the elders would sit in chairs, and we would light the candles.
	Smoke weed, elders.
	And of course, afterwards...
	What elders?
	The elders?
	The cult.
	The hell is she talking about?
	The tribal elders, John.
	Don't you get it?
	She's African now.
	She's African-Canadian-American, Tupac-loving, Kwanzaa-celebrating Indian-Jamaican.
	We'd sit on the carpet and the elders would sit in chairs.
	Smoking the peace pipe.
	And we would light the candles and, of course, afterwards have a beautiful meal.
	Oh, yeah.
	And, of course, there was always...
	Yeah, go ahead.
	This is a great piece.
	There's much more coming.
	Somebody has got her...
	Somebody convinced her to do this.
	I don't believe she came up with this idea on her own.
	Yeah, yeah, you gotta do that.
	I think they're making a fool out of her.
	But wait until you hear how deep she goes.
	I mean, it's one...
	I think I could pull this off, the way she's doing it, because she's lying.
	There's no way...
	There's no way that she celebrated Kwanzaa with the elders in Scandinavia with her Indian mother, her Jamaican dad...
	This is no way.
	Light the candles.
	No, there's no way.
	No, there's no way.
	Hold on.
	Let's listen to this.
	Light the candles.
	On the carpet, and the elders would sit in chairs, and we would light the candles, and of course afterwards have a beautiful meal.
	And, of course, there was always the discussion of the seven principles.
	And my favorite, I have to tell you, was always the one about self-determination.
	And, you know, essentially it's about, you know, it's about be.
	Be and do.
	Be the person you want to be and do the things you want to do and do the things that need to be done.
	It's about not letting anyone write our future for us, but instead going out and writing it for ourselves.
	And that principle motivates me today as we seek to confront the challenges facing our country and to build a brighter future for all Americans.
	So to everyone who is celebrating, Happy Kwanzaa from our family to yours.
	So what I thought was good is she pulled in the Kuji Chaka Kuji Lada Jumanji bit, which is one of the seven principles.
	It's number two.
	Which is, how disgusting is this?
	Self-determination.
	To define and name ourselves.
	You could not get closer to cultural appropriation.
	To define and name myself as a Kwanzaa celebrator is saying you are an African American, an American descendant of slavery, as that's where this all stems.
	Not from some African religious tribal ceremony where the elders would sit on the carpet with him and tell stories.
	Lie.
	You liar.
	This is unbelievable.
	I'm going to give you a clip of the day.
	Can I believe that not one but two clips of the day are handed out?
	I mean, this is crazy.
	Another Christmas miracle.
	And that's why I'm married to you.
	Exactly.
	Alright.
	So, that was Kamala.
	Actually, here's a little tricky thing that was done that I wanted to bring to everybody's attention.
	There's been a clip circulating around of Biden.
	And Biden on the call with multiple civil rights leaders, including Al Sharpton.
	It's eight of them.
	And this is how the clip was delivered to me.
	This is how the clip is posted on Twitter.
	This is the clip.
	This country is doomed.
	It is doomed, not just because of African Americans, but because by 2040, this country is going to be minority white European.
	Hear me?
	Now, it sounds like he's a huge effing racist.
	Yeah, this is obviously a clip that's been clipped up.
	So here it is in context.
	It's still bad, but I want everyone to know that this is not quite exactly what you were given.
	And when producers do this, when you send us stuff, try and look at the original.
	Get a little bit before.
	If somebody sends me that, the one that you just played, they're blocked.
	Well, I received this from multiple people.
	None of you are blocked.
	Here's the call in context.
	I don't always get it right, but I always take responsibility.
	When I get it wrong, I acknowledge I got it wrong.
	But my overarching objective...
	If we cannot make significant progress on racial equity, this country is doomed.
	You see how it's a little different when you have the context of what he's talking about?
	It is doomed, not just because of African Americans, but because by 2040, this country is going to be minority white European.
	Hear me?
	We're already white European.
	And you guys are going to have to start working more with Hispanics, who make up a larger portion of the population, and you all do.
	We're going to have to be working with a whole group of people that, in fact, are the single most diverse democracy in American history and anywhere in the world.
	And we've got to figure out how to unify this country.
	And you've been the leaders of being able to do that.
	Not a joke.
	Not a joke!
	Not a joke!
	I don't think Hispanics is correct anymore, President Apparent Joe.
	I think it's Latinx.
	Latinx, baby, if you're doing it right.
	And he said Hickspanics.
	Did he say Hickspanics?
	That's what he said.
	Hickspanics.
	He said Hickspanics.
	Hickspanics!
	Now, I would say...
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I've got a couple more.
	I have two more clips from the call.
	Oh, okay.
	Keep going with that.
	Yeah, because I thought it was an interesting call.
	And let's just hear the first words out of his mouth as a Zoom call.
	Here's the first minute of what he told these leaders.
	I want to start by thanking y'all for your leadership and support.
	And when did he become Southern with y'all?
	When does a guy from Pennsylvania say, y'all?
	Where did he pick that up?
	Or is that code switching?
	I think Delaware was a slave state, so I think you could, I think technically you could say it.
	I want to start by thanking you all for your leadership and support.
	You've rallied support against some of Trump's most dangerous actions.
	His failure to contain the pandemic and the mass casualty event is caused in the black community.
	Trump killed black people!
	His embrace of white supremacy has been just straight out and continues.
	Very fine people!
	His attack on the ACA, which affects so many African Americans.
	What?
	His attack on the Affordable Care Act has affected so many black Americans.
	Bullshit!
	His attack on the ACA, which affects so many African Americans.
	His incitement of violence against peaceful social justice protesters.
	What?
	His incitement of violence against peaceful social justice protesters.
	I recall the social justice protesters were the first ones to incite violence.
	But okay, Joe.
	But okay, Joe.
	Of course you do.
	No, Joe's rewriting history here, so we won't like Trump.
	Yeah, well, hold on.
	There's more coming.
	Hold on a second.
	Peaceful social justice protesters removing diversity and inclusion awareness policies across the federal government.
	Yeah.
	And you've successfully litigated voting rights cases while the right to vote has been under more severe attack than any time since I was a kid.
	What do you mean?
	Record number of people voted, Joe.
	You can't have it both ways.
	The record number of people.
	How's that suppression?
	If you believe your phony baloney numbers.
	Yeah, well, the phony baloney numbers are out there.
	You can't have it both ways.
	No, you can't.
	And you've helped ensure that Americans across the country complete the census and are counted, which is a big deal.
	And an awful lot more.
	We have an enormous amount of work to do, not just to reverse Trump's actions, but to repair the damage of four years of his policies.
	They've exacerbated worse than every inequity from housing to education to the economy to being able to build back better.
	No, no.
	That's right.
	There's some truth in there.
	He ruined our chances to build back better because there was nothing to build back better.
	We were doing great.
	The economy was great.
	Things were humming along.
	So don't give me this, Joe.
	And I've made advancing racial equality a priority throughout the campaign in our transition team, and I'm going to make it a priority in our administration.
	Yep.
	That's right.
	You'll have all the right colors and none of the talent.
	And the final piece, another minute here, is his insistence he would not use executive orders.
	Because it's the Constitution, man!
	And so there's some things that I'm going to be able to do by executive order.
	I'm not going to hesitate to do it.
	But what I'm not going to do is I'm not going to do what used to, Vanita, you probably used to get angry with me during the debates, when you'd have some of the people you were supporting, on day one, I'm going to have an executive order to do this.
	Now, okay, this is where we can tell Joe is off his rocker.
	Listen to how he's talking, man.
	When you'd have some of the people you were supporting on day one, I'm going to have an executive order to do this.
	Executive?
	Not within the constitutional authority.
	Nah.
	I am not going to violate the constitution.
	Okay.
	Executive authority that my progressive friends talk about is way beyond the bounds.
	Ooh.
	And as one of you said, maybe you, Reverend Al, whether it's far left or far right, There is a constitution.
	No!
	Really?
	We're gonna find out about that when Pence pounds it down, baby!
	It's our only hope.
	Our only hope.
	True!
	And the way to deal with it is where I have executive authority, I will use it to undo every single damn thing this guy has done by executive authority.
	This guy.
	Disrespect.
	Really.
	Hello.
	But I'm not going to exercise executive authority where it's questioned, where I can come along and say, I can do away with assault weapons.
	There's no executive authority to do any of that.
	There's no executive authority to do any of that.
	Assault weapons.
	There's no executive authority to do any of that.
	And no one's fought harder to get rid of assault weapons than me.
	If he prevails, if the Kraken is not unleashed properly and Pence does not pound at home, it's going to be an interesting four years.
	I'm sorry, four weeks until Kamala takes over.
	Well, I've got some Biden stuff.
	Go goody, goody, goody, goody.
	I got it from CNN, the Comedy News Network.
	This is called gilling.
	It's grilling, gilling, gilling.
	Biden, he's talking about his cabinet members.
	Meanwhile, Biden is adding more faces to his administration and defending his picks so far.
	Our cabinet doesn't just have one first.
	Oh, God.
	Okay.
	Or just two of these firsts.
	But eight precedent-busting appointments.
	And tonight, the ninth, with Pete Buttigieg to serve as transportation secretary, the first openly gay nominee to a president's cabinet to face Senate confirmation.
	A new voice with new ideas determined to move past old politics.
	A campaign rival turned confidant.
	The 38-year-old former South Bend, Indiana mayor would also be the youngest person to serve in Biden's cabinet.
	I can't help but think of a 17-year-old somewhere who might be watching us right now.
	Somebody who wonders whether and where they belong in the world.
	Or even in their own family.
	Thank you for honoring me.
	Your commitment to diversity.
	With this administration that you're assembling.
	With the goal of filling his cabinet by Christmas, Biden will name his climate team on Saturday, including former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm as Energy Secretary and the Obama administration's EPA chief, Gina McCarthy, to a new role as White House Climate Coordinator.
	Biden is also still weighing his choices for Attorney General, CNN has learned, with Judge Merrick Garland and Alabama Senator Doug Jones, the top contenders.
	What happened to Cuomo?
	I thought he was a contender for AG. I think he told me he didn't want to do it.
	Someone in the troll room actually just said, is that a laugh track?
	Yes, it is.
	I'm from the Chuck Lorre school of getting clips.
	Yes, you are.
	That's very good from the Comedy News Network.
	Impressive.
	You're going to hear more of that.
	Impressive, yes.
	Okay, what else do we have here?
	Those trolls are on it.
	No, they're...
	Oh!
	Okay, let's go right to this story.
	Let's do the jetpack story because I want to talk to you.
	You're the fly boy.
	Okay, jetpack story.
	So let's talk about...
	Here's the jetpack story up to speed.
	It's only a minute, but it's the jetpack story from ABC. Okay.
	Next, the close encounter between a private plane and a man strapped to what appears to be a jetpack 3,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean.
	An astonished passenger on the plane capturing the site on camera.
	And tonight, the FBI is investigating.
	ABC's Will Carr with the video.
	On video.
	It's a scary sight soaring across Southern California.
	That speck in the sky is what appears to be a jetpack.
	At 3,000 feet, it's streaking past this pilot in a private plane.
	The close encounter just seven miles from LAX. This is not the first suspected jetpack sighting near LA's largest airport.
	This past fall, two others were reported to be dangerously close to planes taking off and landing, where a crash could be catastrophic.
	One reportedly coming within 300 yards of a passenger jet.
	We just passed a guy in a jetpack.
	You don't hear that every day.
	While jetpacks are growing in popularity, sightings are rare.
	Earlier this year, a pilot for Jetman Dubai documented a flight at 6,000 feet.
	That flight lasted for three minutes.
	Most jetpacks can only fly for a couple minutes and they can't get very high.
	The one that was flying around here bucked those norms and the FBI is now investigating that close call.
	Yeah, I'm looking at this video right now.
	Okay, what is your question?
	The video that they have there is a guy in one of those old-fashioned straight-up jetpacks.
	He didn't have the wings.
	No, you don't have to have the wings.
	That's not necessary.
	No, I'm just saying, the other clips, you didn't see them, but they showed that most people in the jetpacks nowadays, they get those wings and they fly around and they take movies and they can control it a little bit.
	This is the vertical thing where you just shoot straight up.
	I was at a football game once where they had one of these guys flying around the place.
	Very noisy.
	It has a high-pitched, shrill sound.
	I don't like it.
	Yeah, it's terrific.
	But it was up in the air, 3,000 feet up, and he's out over the ocean, like standing up, going shoom, shooting by.
	Yeah.
	And now the FBI's investigating.
	Why is the FBI investigating?
	Shouldn't this be the FAA or anything but the FBI? Why the FBI? They don't explain anything in these news reports.
	You're right.
	This is no good.
	It is totally the jurisdiction of the FAA. And NTSB. And that's a real jetpack.
	And these jetpacks are real.
	They do fly more than a couple minutes.
	They use them in California.
	They have firefighters who have special...
	It's not really a single jetpack, but you have a pack on your back and they have the multiple turbines strapped to your leg.
	I've seen it in a demonstration.
	3,000 feet, that's pretty high.
	The video I just saw doesn't look like 3,000 feet, but okay, I'll believe it.
	It looks to me more like 1,500, 1,000 feet, just judging.
	The plane is on final approach.
	No one should be there.
	Certainly not a guy in a jetpack.
	Well, he said he was seven miles out.
	That's more than final approach, isn't it?
	No, you're on final approach.
	In a jumbo?
	Yeah, you're on.
	No, that was a private plane.
	Was that private?
	It doesn't matter.
	Seven miles out can be final approach, for sure.
	Definitely.
	Anyway, yeah, it was a private plane, it was a passenger, and it took the movie.
	So, yeah.
	All I'd like to know is, where can I get one?
	I'm ready to fly me some jetpack.
	I love that.
	Well, I'm sure they're available, but it's like this guy's flying around.
	This is like, they thought drones were a nuisance.
	No, I like this.
	I like this jetpack idea.
	I think we should go for it.
	I'm an OTG kind of guy.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	OTG going OTG. Big OTG update, everybody.
	First of all, fun to see how your centrally controlled devices suck.
	For those of you who received a new iPhone or any other Apple device during Christmas, you probably had some troubles activating it because you need to be tethered to the iCloud at all times.
	Apple noted they had issues with the Apple ID sign-in and with their iCloud services.
	People were asked to kindly, please try back in a couple of hours.
	So that's when it's busy on Christmas.
	So you can use the phone without signing in, right?
	No.
	To activate an Apple iPhone, you need to sign up for iCloud.
	You don't need to put a...
	In fact, I wonder...
	I think you may have to...
	Now, I don't recall if you have to put a credit card in at all, but you certainly have to have an iCloud account just to activate it.
	Why?
	Control.
	The hell?
	I don't know why.
	Because the phone doesn't work.
	The phone doesn't work if it doesn't talk to home base.
	I don't know.
	It's clearly not an OTG device.
	Which I did receive on the day before Christmas, which I would like to just tell everyone, share.
	You recall Tim Schmidt, one of our producers, who set up NoAgendaPhone.com.
	And I have promised him an executive producership for this, but I hadn't cleared it with you yet.
	So, the way he works is you contact him, you send him a phone, and there's only a few that this can be done with.
	So, I ordered off of Amazon a Pixel 4a, which is a modern phone.
	It's got a lot of good stuff on it, but he then de-Googles it, strips everything Google off of it, except for the logo on the back, which luckily is just embedded.
	It's not a color logo, because that would be a showstopper for me.
	And he loads Graphene OS. And I received this the day before Christmas, and I've pretty much now finished setting it up.
	This phone hits it all for the OTG for two reasons.
	It's really one reason.
	The granularity in which you can define what you want your device to do by default is great, but you can set it to really anything online.
	Notifications down to the lowest thing that it can do or not do.
	Every sensor service, etc., can be blocked, turned off from any service.
	You don't use Google Play Store apps.
	There's three app stores that I know of now.
	One is the FDroid open source.
	Then you have Aurora, which can spoof some Google Play services if you want to use that.
	I don't see why you'd want to use any service.
	Any app that isn't free and open source, it is fast, it is elegant, it's a beautiful machine, and you really keep the tracking down to a minimum.
	It is truly a spectacular device, and I really appreciate Tim for doing that for me.
	And this is what I would recommend.
	This is also, I think, the Snowden combo that he's promoted, which I guess is good news.
	So for $300, I got a Dynamite device.
	And battery life, 11 hours.
	Because, you know, there's less stuff happening in the background.
	I thought that was spectacular, too.
	What about the Navigator?
	Yes, Navigation.
	It has a downloadable app.
	You get this, again, from the open source store.
	It's called...
	Hold on a second.
	What's the name of it?
	I think it's called...
	It has a weird name.
	Osma.
	Osma something.
	And it uses open source maps.
	But it has perfect navigation.
	And you can download the maps.
	So you're not streaming where you are.
	You could use this with your phone completely disconnected if you want for navigation.
	So that's a big plus.
	What else do you want to know?
	It does everything.
	How does the camera work?
	The camera is spectacular.
	There's an open source camera app.
	Because it's really now these days more in the processing.
	And everyone can get the...
	I don't know how many...
	Gigapixels it has.
	But it's...
	Zero for that matter.
	Well, it's megapixels.
	I think it's got a lot of...
	Yeah.
	But the open source camera app is beautiful.
	It takes...
	I mean...
	It's comparable to Tina's iPhone 11, I think she has.
	And we were comparing pictures.
	It's beautiful.
	So that's good.
	What else?
	Oh, yeah.
	So here's the only downside.
	Here's the only bummer.
	About texting.
	Yeah.
	And with the open source with Graphene, you can use any number of different texting apps.
	So you can decouple that from, you know, typically an iPhone.
	You got one app that's going to do your texting, and that's it.
	What about going through just a phone SMS? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
	So, regular phone, SMS, there must be 50 different texting apps.
	But you can also incorporate it and have everything in one app, like Signal, if you want.
	So, that's taken care of.
	That's good.
	What else?
	How about the fart noise button?
	Yeah.
	You got me there.
	I do not have a fart noise button.
	This phone sucks!
	Graphene OS, it's the way to go.
	The only bummer, I thought these pixels would do external display, USB-C to HDMI, and Google disabled that on these devices.
	So I was so happy.
	I'm like, oh, this could be a daily driver for me.
	I could just plop this thing onto a big screen.
	I don't need much more.
	It's working perfectly.
	It's fast.
	That's the old prediction.
	The keyboard works great.
	What prediction?
	Well, when I got columns, I wrote in the 80s talking about a pocket computer that was essentially a phone that you drop in a little thing.
	It's got, you know, a terabyte of memory, which is not much anymore, but it would give you a nice big screen with a high resolution.
	You just put a keyboard on there.
	You're in business.
	And they have the capability of doing that with these phones.
	Yes, and all I need, and I guess Miracast, there's different ways to do it, but I mean, I'm going to have to find a phone that will take graphene and also do video out, because then you've got the dream.
	That's all you need.
	I don't need super high-end processing.
	Yeah, you've got the dream.
	People can steal everything you have in one fell swoop just by being a good picture.
	I have nothing to hide, so I'm not worried about that.
	Nothing to hide over here.
	So that's my tip, and go to NoAgendaPhone.com.
	And hit up Tim there, our producer, and get one of these.
	It's remarkable.
	I also haven't quite figured...
	It supposedly can connect to my hearing aids.
	It does have hearing aid connectivity, but I haven't been able to get that to work.
	But other than that, best device I've ever had.
	And I feel good about using it.
	I've customized the canine email app, so it really does the stuff I want.
	I really heard that app was a dog.
	Which one?
	The canine?
	Yeah.
	I'm sorry, I'm slow on the draw.
	Wow.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I'm sorry.
	I tried.
	I tried.
	So that's your OTG report.
	It's a good device.
	Okay, I think we've got that.
	That will be our official OTG box.
	OTG vendor support person.
	Yes, yes.
	Official.
	Exactly.
	Official.
	Official.
	Very official.
	All right.
	I got some Brexit, a couple of Brexit clips.
	Yeah, I got one Brexit.
	Let me see.
	Yeah, I just got a basic background with Ursula.
	Should I do that for a sec?
	Just with her announcement.
	Ursula von der Leyen is the EU president.
	And she announced...
	Oh yeah, I think I got...
	That's incorporated in most of these, but go on.
	Yeah, I'll just play this so you can hear what she had to say.
	The United Kingdom is a third country.
	But it remains a trusted partner.
	We are long-standing allies.
	It almost sounds like she's saying a third...
	Or she wants to say the United Kingdom is a third world country.
	But she says she calls it a third country, but I hear you, Ursula.
	The United Kingdom is a third country, but it remains a trusted partner.
	We are long-standing allies.
	We share the same value and interests.
	The European Union and the United Kingdom will stand shoulder to shoulder to deliver on our common global goals.
	At the end of a successful negotiations journey...
	I normally feel joy, but today I only feel quite satisfaction and, frankly speaking, relief.
	I know this is a difficult day for some, and to our friends in the United Kingdom, I want to say, parting is such sweet sorrow.
	But to use a line from T.S. Eliot, what we call the beginning is often the end.
	And to make an end is to make a beginning.
	So to all Europeans, I say it is time to leave Brexit behind.
	Our future is made in Europe.
	Thank you so much.
	So, everyone quite elated by this, and it's all fab, but it's not over yet.
	They still have not finished the details.
	There's now a February deadline.
	Well, there's a couple of things they have to do.
	First, the Parliament has to go along, and then it looks like they will.
	But then they have to get a no vetoes from any of these countries.
	Any one of them can follow this deal up.
	Yeah.
	Any of the 27.
	Yeah.
	I'm expecting it.
	So I have four clips, but I only really...
	There's only two I want to play as we wrap today.
	All right.
	First, I got the...
	Just to give you a little contrast, I got the blasé Brexit report from PBS. This is all they had to say about the whole thing.
	very important mechanism taking that's unfolding.
	It's important to the Americans, but now this PBS's report.
	The United Kingdom and the European Union made public the details of the trade deal that negotiators agreed to this past week.
	The two sides were reviewing the more than 1240-page agreement yesterday.
	The deal comes just days before Britain leaves the EU completely in what is known as Brexit.
	If the British and EU parliaments approve the massive document, Britain will be able to continue to trade with the 27 European Union nations without tariffs or quotas.
	But questions remain about security cooperation and access to the EU market for Britain's financial services sector.
	Thanks for the update.
	It's like a most useless report ever.
	So let's listen to a good report.
	And I consider this the best of the group.
	And this is from Al Jazeera.
	Ah.
	And this is the, you'll find it under the letter N. It says Norexit.
	Ah, yes.
	Report, of course.
	Yes.
	Norexit report, good.
	This is actually, it breaks it down pretty nicely.
	This means that the UK has voted to leave the European Union.
	Yes.
	Finally, Brexit is done, four and a half years after the referendum, almost at the end of the 11-month transition period.
	The UK and the EU argued, negotiated, compromised and cajoled, but they've done what many feared they couldn't and agreed their future trading relationship.
	It's a moment of reflection for the European Commission president.
	At the end of a successful negotiations journey, I normally feel joy.
	But today, I only feel quite satisfaction and, frankly speaking, relief.
	For the UK's Prime Minister, it's a political success that caps a year which gave him very few of them.
	There will be no palisade of tariffs on January 1st, and there will be no non-tariff barriers to trade.
	Instead, there will be a giant free trade zone of which we will at once be a member, and at the same time be able to do our own free trade deals.
	One area of dispute that's seen compromise is fishing rights.
	Outside the EU, Britain has control of its exclusive economic zone, but it's had to budge on how much access EU trawlers have.
	There's also been movement on state aid to allay EU fears European companies could suffer from unfair competition.
	We now both have an imperative to work together to make this deal look as good and run as smoothly as possible, and that will minimise short-term disruption.
	The government's independent spending watchdog says not reaching a deal would have knocked 2% off UK growth in 2021 alone, partly because of temporary disruptions to cross-border trade.
	Again, as predicted, it's all about the fish.
	Which is bullshit.
	But yeah, it's all about the fish.
	And for the trolls in the troll room, he said trawlers, not trollers.
	Everyone perked up.
	EU trollers?
	What?
	Is there a troll club we're not in?
	No, trawlers, people.
	Okay.
	And I've got a couple more sub-reports that are kind of breaking down even a little more.
	Again from Al Jazeera, I think it's a different report.
	If you want to hear those, we'll be completely caught up.
	We won't need to know another thing about Brexit ever.
	This means that the UK has voted to leave the European Union.
	Finally, Brexit is done.
	Okay, skip that one.
	You're playing Brexit AJ report one?
	Yeah.
	Play report two.
	But even with this deal, UK businesses still have plenty to worry about.
	Only a small number of transport companies have had access to Britain's new border crossing software, expected to be rolled out just a week before the transition period ends.
	There are concerns about Britain's current jobs crisis deepening if firms relocate to the EU.
	And there are still unanswered questions about how to avoid physical border checks between Northern Ireland, part of the UK, and Ireland, an EU member.
	For now, both sides will be happy to have something to show for the tortuous negotiations.
	Boris Johnson insists the relationship is still close.
	This country will remain culturally, emotionally, historically, strategically, geologically attached to Europe.
	But in the year of COVID, the UK has finally done what the 2016 referendum result demanded.
	It's distanced itself from Europe.
	Rory Challens, now to zero.
	So Bloomberg did have a couple of points about this.
	Automotive...
	They still have to figure out what's going on.
	Vauxhall, which is owned by France's PSA Group, has been holding out for more clarity on Brexit before deciding whether to further invest in the UK or if they're going to move somewhere else.
	And Nissan Motor Company has decided against producing an electric model in Northern England, so they lost that.
	Then we have, let's see...
	Here are the key requirements for rules of origin, which determine what percentage of the value of a car's components need to be sourced locally to qualify for tariff-free trade.
	Now, we do this in America, too.
	You know, you buy a car, you can buy a German car, there's going to be some American bits in there.
	It might just be some chewing gum an inspector put in there, but that helps with the tariffs.
	Parts made in the UK as well as the EU count as local content.
	Interesting.
	So this doesn't even pertain to the EU. Gasoline and diesel cars need to be made with at least 55% local content to avoid tariffs.
	Five percentage points more than what the automakers in the UK wanted.
	Electric vehicles and hybrids need 40% local content, 10% percentage points more than what the UK has asked for.
	And they've got some stuff on batteries.
	They've got some stuff on manufacturing.
	They've got some stuff on food origins.
	It's a real deal.
	But I don't know if it's going to get signed.
	It sounds like a classic EU bunch of bullcrap.
	Yeah.
	The EU is the one that keeps pushing these little details.
	No, it can't be 45%.
	It's got to be 46%.
	I mean, it's all Karen indeed.
	Everything.
	It's all out of Brussels.
	The bureaucrats.
	I don't see how they're getting away from it.
	It sounds like this is the same bureaucrats making these rules and they're still stuck with them.
	I agree.
	It's like, okay, we have Brexit, but look at all this stuff we're still going to have to do.
	Both sides agree to explore liberalization of rules that limit the operations of airlines outside the territory where their ownership is based.
	This is interesting.
	Before the split, UK shareholders counted towards EU ownership requirements, but now they don't.
	This threatens the rights of airlines, like EasyJet, etc., to operate within the bloc.
	So they've got all...
	I think they have a rope around Britain's neck, man.
	I think they just said, okay, you're free.
	Pay no attention to the rope around your neck.
	We're just going to yank that.
	Yeah, it's like letting your dog go outside by keeping a leash on.
	Yeah, just yank it from time to time.
	Boris, heel, Boris, heel!
	I'm going to show my sword by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on no agenda in the morning.
	Yeah, heel, Morris.
	Heel, heel, Morris.
	We do have a few people to thank for show 1307.
	In fact, we have more than a few people, but it's still a light day, I'd say, as I try to get the spreadsheet where it belongs.
	Okay, Mike Valak is at the top of the list.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	That's not true.
	We have Breanne Fryger.
	You're right.
	Breanne Fryger.
	Mm-hmm.
	Brianna Freiger.
	And she's in Richmond Hill, Georgia.
	$134.
	And this gets credit to her smoking hot boyfriend, Justin Spry, who celebrates his 34th birthday on the 27th.
	Woohoo!
	Hit her in the mouth during the pandemic, and they've been listening together ever since.
	And you will be, apparently, for the next 10 years.
	That's how long they're going to try to stretch it.
	Mike Valick in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is next, 133.33.
	Happy Holidays.
	Jennifer Sayer, 12345.
	Oh, she is, yeah, she's sent a note in.
	She wants to be made a dame.
	She's asked about this a couple of times.
	Mm-hmm.
	And I think we're backed up.
	We really haven't been using the...
	Oh, this is so honest.
	Okay, yeah.
	So how do we make sure that's done?
	How does that...
	We're just going to dame her today.
	Well, do we have...
	They're on the list.
	Well, Jennifer, send in your dame name and your requirements and we'll do it.
	No, she wants to do it.
	No, no.
	Just name her her name.
	Okay.
	Here's the reason.
	Okay.
	Because she wants to make her New Year's dreams come true.
	Well, then how can we refuse this?
	Okay.
	All right.
	Jen Sayer is fine.
	Okay, we'll do Dame Gen X because that's what she signed her name with.
	And she can always change that.
	Dame Gen X. You sign your name Gen X, that's what you're going to be.
	Yeah.
	Okay, good.
	We'll take care of that.
	Sir Kevin McLaughlin, we are taking care of it today.
	Sir, she's requested a couple times a night that she donates.
	She's fine.
	Sir Kevin McLaughlin, Duke of Luna, Locust, North Carolina, 8888.
	Jacqui Harvey?
	Could be Jacqui.
	In Toronto, Ontario, 8008.
	It's on behalf of the love of my life, Troy Whitmore.
	A donation of boobs is more meaningful to him instead of a Christmas stocking filled with crap.
	I'm with you.
	I like the practical nature of this woman.
	Me too.
	Coen Monster.
	Is there a Dutch pronunciation for this Rotterdam dweller?
	Yes.
	Coen.
	Which doesn't make it any better.
	Coen Monster.
	Coen Monster.
	Coen.
	Coen Monster.
	Coen Monster.
	Coen Monster heeft een paar boeps gestuurd.
	Dankjewel, Coen, from Rotterdam.

	Connor and Paul of the City of Nelson Irish Garbage Man Association.
	Okay, and he's in BC, Canada somewhere.
	Castlegar.
	And he says, you now have dudes named Oscar for any garbage-related questions.
	Please, feel free to send us any garbage info.
	That's always interesting.
	We have a lot of garbage questions, there's no doubt about it.
	Patrick Nestor in Saint-Sévure, Quebec, 5151.
	Sir Selvarin, Knight in Exile in Silver Spring, Maryland, 5150.

	Thomas Hurtado, 50.
	Sir Richard Gardner in Chicago.
	And that's it.
	Boom, we're done.
	That will conclude our list.
	I didn't get any mail into today's show.
	No checks in the mail because Christmas it was closed.
	It was closed on Friday for some unknown reason.
	That was Christmas.
	And then Saturday it was closed.
	It was just closed.
	It's closed, people.
	It's just closed.
	Thank you, Trump.
	Okay.
	It's Trump's fault.

	Or maybe it was our dog lady, the lucky dogs.
	How incredible the meetups are, especially in this time where we haven't seen a lot of people.
	Most people have not seen many people.
	It's been weird, and certainly not strangers and get to interact with other humans.
	It's all been family and friends.
	So, family and friends of a sort?
	Yes, perhaps.
	It's our tribe.
	We'd like to meet.
	We document this at noagendameetups.com, and that's how I know that on the last day of the year, December 31st, there will be a New Year's small amygdala bash.

	Let's see where we have Thomas.
	Oh, crap, man.
	We've got to get this show over.
	I have one clip.
	What do you have?
	You know what I think?
	I got...
	I have two short clips and a commentary.
	Well, first, end-of-show ISOs, people.
	What are we doing?
	This is bad production.
	Where are we with our end-of-show ISOs?
	Well, I've got the moo as an ISO. Why don't I see it on your list?
	Uh-oh.
	I don't see it.
	I don't see Moo.
	Uh-oh.
	No, there's new Moo.
	Uh-uh.
	Yeah, you probably didn't get it.
	I'm sorry.
	Well, then you had the one you clipped from the...
	Well, I also have...
	Let me see.
	You have two.
	I have two.
	Well, I have the one that we got from you, which I like, which, hold on, that was this one.
	Why isn't it...
	That's interesting.
	Why isn't it playing?
	Huh.
	Hold on.
	It's our darkest day.
	No, that one's out.
	Hold on.
	That's good.
	Ah, shit!
	I just deleted it.
	Damn it.
	Which one was that?
	That one's not going to be used.
	Take this virus.
	How about that one?
	Take this virus.
	What is it?
	Take this virus.
	I like it.
	I think take this virus is usable.
	I think it's usable.
	Okay, what clips do you have?
	Well, it's just more of a commentary.
	They're short clips, 37 seconds and 9 seconds.
	Okay.
	It turns out that after Shields quit PBS... We're going to end with Brooks and Shields!
	All right!
	Way to go!
	No.
	No.
	Because Shields quit.
	We remember that on the last show.
	He's done.
	The show was over.
	What have they done?
	Brooks was beside himself.
	So I figure Brooks went whining back.
	You've got to hire me for something.
	So they upped his grade pay probably because it's now Brooks.
	Not Shields and Brooks, but it's Brooks and Tumulti.
	And Tumulty is some woman from the Washington Post.
	So we have two extreme, you know, liberal liberals, classics.
	Neither one of them are going to be argumentative because they both exactly feel exactly the same way about everyone.
	So let's listen to the first part of this.
	This is WTF Brooks and Tumulty 1 set up.
	And now to the analysis of Brooks and Tumulty.
	That's New York Times columnist David Brooks and Karen Tumulty of The Washington Post.
	Welcome to you both and thanks for being here with us on this Christmas day.
	David, I want to start with you because finally, finally, we have a COVID relief funding bill.
	Republicans and Democrats managed to find a way to come together and compromise, and the time couldn't be more dire.
	Millions of Americans' benefits will expire tomorrow.
	At the last minute, of course, the president steps in and says the direct payments are not big enough.
	What do you make of how the president chose to intervene in the process at this time?
	Uh, should I... Okay, so this is the first...
	Yeah, go ahead.
	This is the first Brooks and Tumulty...
	And she asks a big loaded question, a big question, a big question, and he's a big answer, and he gets asked first now instead of shields.
	And so what do you think he says?
	Ahem.
	This is important.
	It's a very important thing that he has to say immediately.
	The first episode of this.
	And the time couldn't be more dire.
	Millions of Americans' benefits will expire tomorrow.
	At the last minute, of course, the president steps in and says the direct payments are not big enough.
	What do you make of how the president chose to intervene in the process at this time?
	Okay, so this is a big question.
	What do you make of the president?
	So he can't say anything positive.
	It's the first thing he's going to say with this brand new show after the wimp quit.
	Hmm.
	I honestly have no idea.
	Oh, well, let's find out.
	The president chose to intervene in the process at this time.
	First, I want to say Karen and I did not coordinate our poinsettias.
	That was just a coincidence.
	Mr.
	Show Business, ladies and gentlemen.
	Okay.
	So he had also changed his set so he's not in the same kitchen.
	Now he's in some room and he's got a poinsettia behind him.
	And so does she.
	This was his big concern.
	I feel personally...
	It's like two women that come to the party with the same dress on.
	Oh, gosh.
	He's a woman.
	Yeah.
	I think that seeing that Shields left, it should be a new name.
	It shouldn't be Brooks and Tumulty.
	I find that insulting and misogynistic.
	We all know women go first.
	It should be Tumulty and Tard.
	That should be the name of this show.
	And it would get some ratings if they actually did it that way.
	All right.
	They don't care about ratings.
	I will leave you with something uplifting.
	Two minutes of uplifting information.
	We know that the Great Reset is underway.
	Which I think is, you know, bankrupting economies by keeping restaurants and small businesses closed, keeping the big box doors open, everyone's out of a job.
	It's great.
	So we have a great reset.
	And in the great reset, we're going to build back better.
	This is a TEDx from Schenker College in Israel with a very typical millennial.
	And her name is Otis, I think is some...
	Her name is...
	Oh, I can't...
	Oh, yes.
	Oretz Dolev.
	And you recall in the Great Reset World Economic Forum video, one of the highlights of the world that we're building better towards, building back better towards, in the Great Reset, is a world where you own nothing.
	You remember this video?
	Oh, yeah.
	You own nothing and you're happy.
	Yeah.
	It had you own nothing, you're happy, a drone delivers your stuff.
	So this university student was offered a spot on the TED stage, and I just pulled out a little two minutes of this fabulous, fascinating, exciting world that she is peeing her pants about.
	She's so excited about this world that is taking place.
	Let's take a little peek at the future of the Great Reset.
	Imagine a world where all the physical products around us transform into digital services.
	How would life look like?
	With no belongings, no commodities, no wallet, no assets or property.
	A world where the only things you can buy are services and experiences.
	Thank you.
	a day in a life in this kind of future.
	I live in a complex, a place with everything I need to live, work, and play.
	Like a lot of my friends, I prefer the co-living housing because of the round-the-clock services they offer.
	Once in a while, I might choose to cook for myself.
	I subscribe to a food service that sends me fresh ingredients from a farmer nearby, carefully selected based on my culinary preferences.
	I'm thinking about upgrading to the premium organic service everybody's talking about, cooked by a famous robot chef.
	I subscribe to most of my clothes.
	Every morning they arrive at my window port with a drone.
	I can wear something different each day of the year if I want.
	At the end of the day I'll drop them to be picked up by the drone.
	I 3D print my jewelry.
	Actually, this is something I already do.
	Yeah, by the way, hideous necklace.
	If I have a special occasion, I might 3D print a dress designed especially for me and custom shoes based on a scan of my feet.
	Once the event is over, I'll simply drop them in the recycling bin.
	The material will be recycled into its original state.
	Ugh!
	My apartment has no closets, no washing machine, or dishwasher.
	I don't need to worry about mortgage, maintenance, or even renovation once in a while, because furniture and decor became services, too.
	Once we have kids, we'll probably subscribe to a baby equipment and toy service.
	Every couple weeks, the toys will be swapped, and we will receive fresh ones, sterilized, of course.
	Based on my kids' age and preferences.
	Sadly, I think a lot of people really believe this is going to be the great world they want to live in.
	Yeah, in 2030, by the way, is this target.
	I'd like to know they don't address hookers.
	Well, I was going to say, sex as a service.
	They don't address hookers.
	Are their hookers going to be free?
	No, it's sex as a service.
	Sex is a service.
	Well, everything's free, though.
	Nothing's paid for.
	You don't have a wallet.
	No, no, no.
	We'll just take some credit.
	What if you want two or three hookers a day?
	Some guys will do that.
	This is not going to work out.
	Okay, okay.
	We get it.
	And who's going to be the hookers?
	I'm just asking.
	These are logical questions.
	Can I print an outfit for my hooker?
	Anyway, if you want to know more, the 2030 Agenda podcast from Sergeant Fred is coming up next on noagendastream.com.
	There are no coincidences.
	Looking forward to that.
	End of show mix, we have Jesse Coy Nelson with a piping hot end of show mix.
	And we look forward to seeing you on the next episode, which will be on Thursday, the last day of the year.
	Coming to you from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
	We are in FEMA region number six in all the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're Zephyrless Sunday, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday right here.
	Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA until Thursday.
	Adios, mofos!
	and such.
	What the hell does piping hot mean?
	Martha Stewart says it all the time.
	Martha Stewart, what is piping?
	Amy, Amy Goodman.
	Oh, please.
	Man.
	Okay, what the hell does piping hot mean?
	Man, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is piping hot.
	Okay, I have thoughts about Tulsi.
	Her new hairdo?
	Dynamite.
	Crazy hot.
	Piping hot means boiling hot.
	Less cranky than before, but still hot.
	And she says, anyways.
	House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandra Cascio-Cortez.
	Piping hot.
	It's piping hot.
	It's piping hot.
	Man, crazy hot.
	What is piping?
	Martha Stewart says it all the time.
	Oh, my goodness.
	Dynamite new hairdo.
	So joining me now is Chelsea Gabbard, Congresswoman from Hawaii.
	She is one of two House Democrats who broke with their party and voted against the stimulus bill.
	Crazy hot.
	The best podcast in the universe.
	Adios, mofo.
