That's not good enough.
Show him the anal swab.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, January 28th, 2021.
This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media assassination episode 1316.
This is No Agenda.
Robin Hood and the Elites, 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 they figure they can take us out with an executive order.
By the way, it's storming here.
I'm John C. DeVore.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
What do you mean, take you out?
Are they going to take out California?
Are we finally getting rid of it?
Dropping off the edge of the map?
What's going on?
The way this guy's cranking out executive orders, he's like, he's the king.
King Biden.
It's funny you say that.
I have a...
Oh, I thought I had a clip.
No, I guess I didn't cut it.
I had Ben Shapiro counting how many executive orders there were.
Oh, here it is.
I do have the clip.
Hold on a sec.
This one.
Joe Biden is now the president of the United States.
According to Hank Barron at Daily Wire, through Monday, January 25th, the sixth day of his tenure in office, Joe Biden had issued 28 executive orders, dwarfing the initial number of executive orders issued by former presidents in the initial days of their tenure.
Former President Trump signed four executive orders in the first week of his tenure, with a total of 220 executive orders signed in his total time as president.
Former President Barack Obama signed five in the first week.
276 overall.
Former President George W. Bush signed zero in his first week.
Former President Bill Clinton signed one in his first week.
President Joe Biden has signed 28 in the first six days.
Apparently he signed a few more yesterday.
That means he is up to 33.
He's up to 33.
I love how Ben Shapiro can put five times more information in a space of time than anyone in the world.
He's a fast talker.
It's really quite phenomenal.
Well, I think we need to just start off with a brief discussion.
Luckily, you're an expert at this stuff about what happened.
Well, you know, I heard you and Andrew on DH Unplugged talking about the GameStop, the Reddit group.
Oh, geez.
That's the strangest thing I've ever seen.
Oh, it's fantastic.
This is...
Now, I was a day trader for a while.
Remember, I had...
Day trader?
I was a podcaster and a day trader.
It's amazing I found a woman.
Who would put up with me.
And I did that for a while, so I know a little bit about this, but I'm glad that we have your expertise to set me straight.
I figured just give it a try and then see how this fits into a bigger picture.
So first, I think a lot of people don't really understand the concept of shorting, and I'm going to give that a shot, and I want you to correct me.
And I don't know much about options.
John, you can explain that, how that fits into this.
I don't know much about history.
Do you want me to do this?
I'm sorry, you're just bringing a bunch of songs to mind.
Oh, no, it's all right, as long as you just...
Keep that up.
Yes, I'll give you some cues for new songs.
So let me hold your hand as we go down this trail.
I want to hold your hand!
Okay.
So the way the markets work is you have to be able to make money when a stock goes up and goes down.
That's a mature financial market.
And the way it goes, the way you make money on the way up, I think everyone understands that you buy low, you sell high.
The way you make money on the way down, and this is, it's kind of a mind bender, but you got to wrap your head around it.
In order to make money on a stock going down, you, let's say you want it, you think it'll go from 10 to 5.
That's kind of your, your price target.
You will borrow the stock, someone else's stock.
This is made very efficient.
You can do it with a click of a mouse.
You will borrow the amount of stock you want, and immediately an interest counter starts ticking, so you do have to pay interest over that, and that can vary based upon the stock, etc.
It's like a loan.
It's not like a loan.
It's a loan of the stock at that price, at the $10.
So you have to eventually, over some time, and sometimes that's even restricted, as to how much time you have to give the stock back.
So what you'll do is you will sell that stock that you just borrowed.
Again, even for Robinhood people, it's really one tap.
It's one click.
It's not a big deal.
It happens in the background.
And then if the stock hits your price target, if it's five, but as long as it's below that, you then buy the stock the same amount, and then you give it back to the guy that you borrowed it from, or the institution.
Again, just a mouse click.
And so then you've made the difference minus whatever interest you had over how long you had the stock shorted.
That's what it's called.
Now, when you add options to that, that just makes the prize that much bigger or the loss that much bigger.
Is that fair to say, John?
Well, the loss with options can never be more than the way to put in the option.
If you're doing the stock...
If I bought $1,000 worth of options, the most I can lose is $1,000.
Okay.
With shorting, I can lose my ass.
Well, here's what's interesting about this case.
And we'll just say GameStop, but a lot of stocks were involved in this, and a lot of hedge funds, I think.
And I spoke with Horowitz yesterday afternoon, and we put a couple more things together.
The way a hedge fund will typically short a stock is they may short 100 shares of a stock, but then to hedge that so that they have – if they start losing money on it, they may have an upside somewhere else.
They'll buy an equal amount or value in something that they're long on, i.e.
they think it's going up and they might be a little more stable like an apple, etc., So, you run into trouble when the price of the stock that's shorted starts to go up, and here's the kicker.
The stock was shorted by 140%.
Now, I've seen 30, 40% short.
You're like, wow, that would be pretty fun if that goes up.
But 140, that means 40% of the shares that people had bet on on the downside, shorted, were phantom.
They had been loaned out multiple times or just made up or God knows.
Yes, that's a problem.
Well, this is...
So they got screwed by their own system.
And then when you have an organizing force...
That has enough buying power.
Reddit, of all things.
Well, I mean, the Reddit is now private, and the guys moved a telegram.
It doesn't matter.
They organized, and they did it well.
And they just went out and just bought a whole crapload coordinated, which is exactly what the hedge fund guys to stocks on the upside and the downside, except they have the advantage of going on TV and talking it up or down on TV. On CNBC. And there was one particular analyst from one of these hedge funds, and he had been shitting all over GameStop.
And now we have a large crossover of gamers who also are playing the game of Robinhood stocks.
And they just got all whipped into a frenzy and like, yeah, let's go screw those guys.
Not much different than any type of group of people who are yelling about the elites or the Illuminati or the New World Order or kids in containers.
I mean, it's all the same.
And it's young people who, it's the same as the Bitcoin guys that I've been working with.
They grew up during the Gulf War.
There was 9-11.
Then we invaded the wrong country.
Then we had the financial meltdown.
Now we have the coronavirus.
Now we have the Great Reset.
And they're like, you guys are a bag of dicks.
So we're going to do everything we can to take you down.
But here's where I think it's interesting, is this was not just the Reddit group.
A lot of other hedge funds were playing in this to screw their competitors.
In particular, Robinhood, when you're buying or selling a stock, and they will just shut you off of buying or selling, particularly selling.
Sorry, restricted sales today on this stock, which is crazy.
You're not really buying it directly on the exchange.
Robinhood is front-running that, so they will buy it cheaper, sell it to you a little bit more expensive.
But when you're selling, they were selling it to other hedge funds.
So this became an attack of epic proportions.
And this morning, did you see what happened to GameStop, John?
It went to almost 500 overnight, crashed down at the open to low 200s, up to 450, now down again to 150.
It's a war!
And it's the war that the hedge fund and Wall Street always play on smaller companies and each other.
And now for the first time, which has freaked some people out, Because when the short squeeze started, i.e.
they had to buy back stock at a more expensive price to give back the stock they borrowed, which didn't exist in the first place apparently, or at least some of it, there was nothing left to buy.
So everyone else, there was no supply.
And then they also started attacking the long positions these guys had.
So their hedge was going down.
So now you run into a problem where the person you borrowed the stock from says, well, you don't have anything to back it up anymore.
You've got to sell stuff now at a super loss and give me the proceeds.
So I think several hedge funds went down multiple billion dollars.
And I think it's not over.
It looks like it's still going on.
Hello?
Are there any listeners left?
I don't know.
Are there any listeners left?
Please.
You know, you can be that way, but everyone's talking about it, and I don't hear a lot of good explanations.
But it's a version of the Bitcoin voice.
I mean, I don't know if there is a good explanation.
As you notice, you listen to the DHM plug show.
We don't know.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, what you did, you did explain how the system works, but the explanation for this piling on is still unknown.
No, I gave it to you.
The reason is because it's the majority of gamers.
No, you gave me the reason.
Who did it?
The explanation needs more than reasons.
It needs a who, what, where, why.
And we don't have any idea who really is behind it.
I agree.
And that's part of the explanation.
You know, I don't know who did this and why did they do it.
I don't know the reason.
It's because, oh, there's a bunch of gamers defending GameStop.
The whole thing is vague.
It could be the Russians.
It could be the Chinese.
No one's even introduced those two variables.
No, the Russian thing was introduced right away, and I'll tell you where this is going.
Of course, the Chinese put $300 million into Reddit, so they could be implicated.
I don't know.
I agree there's someone or something much bigger behind this, because there were trades going at $50 million a pop, so that's not Robin Hood.
The way the action went, it looks like a Soros operation.
Someone big.
someone big and but there were others involved and what's happening now is the street is going well there's two things one the little people are going yeah we got the power and they're all going to get locked down and hammered on the head and thrown in the jail by the sec unless you find another place to organize reddit is not going to work for you and the other thing that's happening and even glenn greenwald i didn't clip it but i heard him this morning was saying well you know there's kind of a political vibe to this group
It's kind of a little bit like alt-right.
It's only a matter of time before Trump has ordered his Nazi stormtroopers to take down the Wall Street guys he hates.
That's what's coming.
Guaranteed, it's going to be the insurrectionists online, the DVEs of Reddit.
That's where it's going.
No one wants to really tell the truth about what's happening here.
So blame it on the alt-right.
It's coming.
It's coming.
It'll be his fault and the same people who stormed the Capitol.
I wish I could be watching TV this morning because I'm sure I would pick it up.
They're storming the Capitol.
They're sinking hedge funds, these guys.
The good news is, we can now get a good dose of it on Fox.
The money honey is back.
She's on Prime Time.
What do you mean?
Maria Bartiromo.
No, she's on Fox News.
Not Fox Business, Fox News.
She's on right before Tucker at 7.
Oh, good.
She should be on.
Yeah.
Although we have to...
I'm surprised he didn't fire her.
We have to change her name, though.
I think money, honey, is a little...
I've never used that term.
But that was a Wall Street thing.
Everyone used that.
How about the...
Yeah, 20 years ago.
How about that?
Okay.
It was on CNBC. All right.
How about the coin cougar?
The coin cougar.
I think there's a winner.
Yeah.
Thank you.
It has the implications that she's old?
No, it's not old.
Cougar.
That means she's mature and still sexy.
Yeah, okay.
I'm sorry.
Mature.
Mature.
Aged.
Well-aged.
Yes.
Yes.
Well-aged.
So well, everything you said was fine.
Well, thanks.
Gee.
Yeah.
I don't have anything to add.
That's really great.
Well, then, let me stick on...
How about this?
I'll just stick on the purge for a second, because we've got a few things there, and we can add, you know, now Discord has purged, the Wall Street bets people off, and Reddit is shutting down.
It's going to be completely obliterated, and we'll see where they wind up.
But there were a couple other things going on.
This bothers me.
You're a company and you've got lots of throughput.
You've got eyeballs, which is what everybody wants.
And a lot of the eyeballs come from people who want to watch some of these characters that are on there that are making a fuss.
And then you get rid of them?
What is the point of this?
Because you don't like what they say?
You're not supposed to be...
You're running a business because you care about what people say?
What kind of businessmen are these?
These are lousy businessmen.
Shit, what happened on my clip here?
They're all woke.
Oh, no.
You get woke, you go broke.
They're woke.
That's the worst part.
You can't be woke.
The new woke times.
The LibJoes keep throwing stuff at me.
Everything they clip.
Read this.
Read this.
It's all New York Times.
Woke.
Yeah?
It's like, is there any other source of information nowadays besides the New Woke Times?
No, I think that's pretty much it.
There was something else in the New Woke Times about another thing about how men are to blame for something that was...
Oh, men are to blame.
Here it is.
I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
Maybe it was the New York Times?
I think it was.
Men who are anxious about their masculinity are more likely to support aggressive politics and to have voted for Trump.
Orange man bad.
So now we can just see on the outside by how you act if you voted for the orange man.
Now I have, I was going to do it, I didn't do it, I'm just going to throw it out there as a possible thing people could do if they wanted to.
Hmm.
Which goes right against the grain when it comes to that thesis, which is ludicrous.
But if you want to be ludicrous, let's do this.
Go to C-SPAN and listen to the call-ins.
When you hear the Democrat line, well, I don't think that Trump's a good guy!
Republicans.
Well, I'm not absolutely sure about that.
All the Republicans have radio voices.
They've got the big balls.
And all the Democrats are squeaky little guys.
I was going to do that.
It was just too much work.
That's where I draw the line at some point.
I'm not going to...
Too much.
You could do an analysis.
You could do how many base notes.
But, no, this is nonsense.
And the New York Times should be ashamed of itself for doing stuff like that.
It's bigoted.
Hmm.
Well, anyone who sounds masculine must be purged.
Jake Tapper at CNN can tell you exactly who these people are and what has to happen to them.
You know, it's just so strange because, look, I'm not a constitutional scholar.
I don't have an opinion on this.
No, shit!
Like he says, I don't have an opinion on this, but stand by.
A lot of people who are voting to not have any consequences for Donald Trump are doing so not because of constitutionality, but because...
They don't want to hold Donald Trump to any sort of standard.
And they never have.
What?
They believe in consequences for everybody else.
What would the consequences be?
Outgoing president.
By the way.
Rand Paul had the best argument.
He says, the reason for impeaching anybody in any office is to get them out of office.
If the guy's already out of office, what are you trying to prove or accomplish?
This is just wheel spinning.
It's showboating.
It's pathetic.
And here he goes, Mr.
Tapper.
And they never have.
They believe in consequences for everybody else.
They got voted out.
That's a consequence.
President, outgoing president, former president, can literally incite an insurrection on the Capitol to hold on to power.
Oh, yeah.
I think that's what we saw.
That worked.
To hold on to power.
To subvert democracy.
Subvert democracy.
And they don't think there should be consequences.
So if they don't believe that an impeachment trial is constitutional...
You know, that's obviously a legal position, a legal argument.
But if you don't believe that, then what consequence?
What consequence should there be?
It got voted out!
Do you think that some people are just above the law?
I mean, should there be a criminal trial?
Oh, goodness.
Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, for that matter, have said...
That Donald Trump played a role in the terrorist attack.
He played a role.
Terrorist attack?
Oh yeah.
We all predicted it.
Not the specifics, but that there would be violence.
This is your emergency broadcast system.
Announcing the commencement of the annual purge.
Your government thanks you for your participation.
Speaking of Rand Paul, he kind of got in George Stephanopoulos' face in a really fun way.
Yes, he did.
Stephanopoulos tried to do the whole Nazi thing again.
The Department of Justice, led by William Barr, said there's no widespread evidence of fraud.
Can't you just say the words, this election was not stolen?
What I would suggest is that if we want greater confidence in our elections, and 75% of Republicans agree with me, is that we do need to look at election integrity, and we do need to see if we can restore confidence in the elections.
Well, 75% of Republicans agree with you because they were fed a big lie by President Trump and his supporters saying the election was stolen.
Why can't you say President Biden won a legitimate unfair election?
George, where you make a mistake is that People coming from the liberal side like you, you immediately say everything's a lie instead of saying there are two sides to everything.
Historically, what would happen is if I said that I thought there was fraud, you would interview someone else who said there wasn't.
But now you insert yourself in the middle and say the absolute fact is that everything I'm saying is a lie.
Well, Senator, I said what the president said was a lie because he said, hold on a second, he said the election was stolen.
This election was not stolen.
The results were certified in every single state after counts and recounts.
You're saying there was no fraud and it's all been investigated.
That's just not true.
It's not what I said, sir.
I said the Department of Justice found no evidence.
Let me finish my point.
You said something that was not true.
You say we're all liars.
You're just simply saying we're all liars.
I said it was a lie that the election was stolen.
You're right and we're wrong.
I'm a little sad.
I had a whole second clip where he did another good bit on that, but it's just an empty clip for some reason.
But what I liked what he said was, hey man, what you're doing is you're inserting yourself in a journalistic piece where you should have someone from the other side, not you telling me to shut up.
Yes, that's become the standard.
Both those clips you just played, the Tapper clip, same thing.
He's inserting himself, he's become the big expert.
Why even have these shows?
Why even have a guest on?
Why don't you just sit there and yak away?
Well, like, you know, talk radio does that.
Right wing talk radio does.
You have the guy comes on.
He's the big expert.
He goes on and people, he entertains people.
But why do it as some sort of a phony baloney deal to have a guest on when you're not going to listen to him?
I don't even know.
What I'm most worried about is the irrelevance of these channels just diminishing to such a degree that they won't even be useful to us at a certain point.
People are not going to be watching this much longer.
It's going to doom the show.
Well, hence my worry.
What if we don't have these nut jobs to clip?
That's going to be a problem.
I think there's a never-ending supply of nut jobs to clip.
Except that they're going to be harder to find.
But I don't know.
These networks are going to have to get...
First of all, I think the networks are going to have to get rid of these guys.
They're not entertaining, they're annoying, and they're embarrassing the operation.
ABC should be ashamed of itself to have a guy like Stephanopoulos even running.
He's a Clintonista.
Yeah, but he's got inside track.
They're not going to get rid of him.
He's important for the machine.
He doesn't have an inside track to anything.
He's a knee-jerk liberal.
And then on that show with all the giggling women of Good Morning America, I mean, it's an embarrassment.
Um...
So things are changing rapidly around the world and around the country, while the U.S. seems to be opening up magically in the Netherlands.
That was four days of rioting, which...
So if you're going to...
Yes?
If you want to go around the world, I do have a around the world clip.
Yeah, and then I wanted to talk about what happened in the Netherlands, because it's kind of exceptional.
Yeah, it's in there.
Oh, yes.
This will be...
COVID Roundup International, I'm guessing.
That would be it.
In international news, Britain's topped 100,000 coronavirus deaths, the world's fifth highest death toll.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation to mark the grim milestone.
I am deeply sorry for every life that has been lost.
And of course, as Prime Minister, I take full responsibility for everything that the government has done.
Several European countries, including Germany, are making medical grade masks mandatory in some indoor public spaces.
France is also recommending medical masks over fabric ones.
In the Netherlands, nightly riots have shaken towns and cities across the country following a curfew imposed Saturday to stem a new wave of infections.
Police arrested nearly 200 people Monday night.
Local authorities have expanded police authority to counter the riots.
Canadian officials find a casino mogul and his wife after they flew to a remote community in the Yukon Territory in order to cut the line for vaccines.
Rodney and Ekaterina Baker received coronavirus vaccines intended for indigenous residents in Beaver Creek including elders of the White River First Nation after the couple claimed to be staffers at a local motel.
Notice how there's six seconds about riots in the Netherlands and 15 seconds about the douchebag elites who cut in line.
To shame them.
That's really...
And in Scandinavia, in Toronto, media, media no longer essential personnel.
Personnel, here's a cop telling a cameraman this very fact.
Now, essentially, is that media at this point in time is not essential service in the square.
So we can't have you come and gather and stay for a while in Loiter unless you're out for an essential reason, which is grocery shopping, going to the doctor, things along the way.
So you're telling me media is not essential service?
Under information that I was provided that I'm acting on today, that's the information that I was giving.
So I'm not allowed in the square right now?
Yes sir.
When did that become a thing?
Sorry, just for my own identification.
I can't tell you the exact date that that started or anything like that.
I'm just telling you on the information that I've provided and that I'm acting on today.
Just that's the information I was given, okay?
Can I have your name and badge number off of it?
Yeah, you can see my name right there.
Can I just get a quick close-up of it there if you don't mind?
Yeah, there you go.
There you go.
Okay, so you're telling me I have to leave the square?
What happens if I don't leave the square?
Then I will be giving you the ticket, okay?
Okay.
All right?
So I'm cautioning you right now, and I'm giving you the opportunity to leave on your own admission, or you will be fine, okay?
There you go.
No longer essential service.
Can't quite explain how it works, but no longer essential in Canada, in Toronto.
The job they're doing is not essential, let's face it.
The Netherlands is a very familiar template.
And with that, I mean the same as Black Lives Matter, Inc., where you have peaceful protesters, then you get some people who start to make a ruckus, and then someone with the umbrella breaks the windows, and then the bottom of society goes in and takes whatever they can.
Same, in a way, same happened at the Capitol.
A lot of people protesting, you know, they're okay, so they were surrounding, how'd they get in there, and all of a sudden some windows got broken, then you got the guy with the Viking helmet walking inside, and it's kind of the bottom of the queue pit there.
In the Netherlands, this started out four or five days ago on the Museum Plang, which is a big, large grass field in between the museums, the Rijksmuseum, where Obama landed his helicopter in the middle of the city.
That gives you a visual.
And that was filled with very peaceful Amsterdamers who were protesting the curfew.
And the curfew...
It's very polarizing because there has not been one since 1943 when the Germans instituted that.
And it's called the evening clock.
And people can't understand how the coronavirus, with its relatively low death count, can cause this type of situation, which is, by all measures, as bad as the Nazi occupation.
So they were protesting that.
Well, they should.
And the first thing that happened is the cops came out and they started spraying people like bugs with water cannons.
And not just like you're wet.
I saw people getting sprayed, hit their head against the cement wall, bleeding, busted their head open.
They were beating people with sticks.
I mean, there's tons of video.
They're not shy about it.
And then...
Somebody broke a window, and then the lowest, the bottom of the Netherlands, went and looted.
Now, looting grocery stores, this is not in the Dutch culture.
Food, for the same reasons, the hunger winter of 1945, when people were starving, they were cooking nettle and rock soup, True rock soup to get some minerals and some nettle for a bit of taste.
And people died hungry.
You don't mess around with food in Holland.
You just don't do it.
So, stealing groceries like that?
No.
And no one's going to tell you, and you won't see it in the mainstream, this was the migrant population.
Primarily.
And there was also an Antifa faction.
Clearly, it's the same people with the black outfits, the black hoods and the helmets and the backpacks.
So there's something bigger going on.
And as the cops couldn't hold it, this is what I kind of love about the Netherlands.
Every big soccer club has its supporter club.
You can also call them hooligans, but they're known as football supporter clubs.
They just said, screw it, and they started patrolling their own streets, and the riots ended.
It was not sanctioned by the police, as some said, but I thought that was pretty cool.
But there's something going on.
This is beyond people just being angry of being locked down.
That rioting, uh-uh, that was not, and part of it is a migrant issue.
I think we'll see more of this.
Maybe it's a color revolution taking place in front of our eyes.
I don't know.
It has all the hallmarks.
The migrant thing is never going to be discussed by the mainstream media, which is woke.
Yes.
So you might as well just forget that.
So you're only going to hear this sort of analysis on this show.
Correct.
And I happen to be close to it.
And I think what you said is probably right on the money.
Why wouldn't it be?
Yeah.
So this is causing a lot of problems.
Consternation is the appropriate word.
Friction.
How about that?
Friction.
Friction, yes.
Quite a bit of friction.
Hand wringing.
So then we have in these United States, wonder above wonder looks like we're opening up in California right after Joe Biden is elected.
California is one of many states now lifting stay-at-home orders.
We're seeing a flattening of the curve.
Everything that should be up is up.
Everything that should be down is down.
Case rates, positivity rates, hospitalizations, ICUs.
The governor said decisions on COVID restrictions would be based on science.
But the Associated Press found some of the scientific data used to determine those restrictions in California was being withheld from the public.
When asked why, state officials said the data would confuse and potentially mislead the public if made public.
I mean, does it get any nuttier?
That is a great clip.
We're going to go by science, but you can't see the science because you'll be confused, you morons.
Which means it's bullshit.
That's exactly what it means, because they can probably...
The other thing is there's some lawsuits that are forming.
Apparently, some of these businesses are noticing in their insurance policy that going out of business is...
For whatever reason, it could be the government shutdown.
They're suing the insurance companies for all kinds of damages in the courts.
In some states, in the northern states, the judges are saying, yeah, that makes sense.
Okay.
And now the insurance companies are getting bent out of shape about this.
They're fighting it.
And I think they're going to go after the states.
The insurance company's got some deep pockets.
Yeah.
So I think they can be suing the states.
So I think the states are going to be sued, and there's going to be plenty of evidence that shows that they shut down for no consistent reason, and then they put their little insurees under attack and put them out of business, and somebody's got to pay up.
I like it.
I like it.
And while we're at it, why don't we go after the teachers union?
This morning, new details about how the virus is spreading among kids.
The CDC revealing there's little evidence that the spread is happening in schools, as long as proper precautions are taken.
When you take precautions, the risk of transmission from students to students or from students to teachers I think teachers' unions are absolutely right to advocate very strongly that schools not open unless they have these kinds of measures in place.
A new study of 17 grade schools in rural Wisconsin found that over a three-month period, 191 students and staff tested positive for COVID. But only seven of those cases were linked to transmission at school.
The CDC finding the rate of spread in those schools is much lower than the average community growth during the same period.
But experts warn those results may not be representative of all areas.
Students in very small pods, classes of about 11 or 12, distanced in a rural area, they could go to school safely.
Sadly, it costs money.
So, it's all bullcrap.
But the teachers' unions, they want more money.
They're just going to keep everything closed.
Yeah, they should be sued.
Yes!
But that report was dubious.
They say, well, we can put the kids back if they can do social distancing.
There's no proof of that.
It's ABC. That's my point.
There are so many multiple agendas.
Think about the problems here.
We have...
First of all, we have the political problem.
Democrats, it's now clear the Democratic Party and Democratic governors and mayors kept everything locked down and shut down until Orange Man was gone.
That is clear.
I mean, especially the Newsom.
We're locked down.
Remember, just before the election or even right after the election, not outside, no restaurants, shut up, go away, go home, don't even sing, don't talk loud.
Yeah, no singing.
And now it's like, oh, magic, but we can't show you the numbers.
The numbers are good, but we can't show you the numbers because you wouldn't understand them because, you know, it's confusing.
So that's the political angle.
Then you have the pharmaceutical angle.
Can you turn your speakers down just a little bit?
You have the pharmaceutical angle where they want to keep people afraid longer.
And I have some clips from the medical elites to talk about that.
They want more types of vaccines.
We need boosters.
It looks like it might have to be annual.
We've got variants and mutants and changes.
Don't look at anything that might be therapeutic.
The therapeutics are out.
You've got that playing, but then you also have the financial world, like, hey, how can we take advantage of this?
You've got the douchebags from Davos who have started this week.
I have a couple of clips from them.
They want to do a great reset, whatever that means.
So there's all these competing agendas.
And ultimately, everyone's out for a buck.
And I think this comes back to some of how the Reddit frenzy starts or how useful idiots, I would say, probably, is everyone sees this going on.
They see the numbers, $1.9 trillion, and then they say, and here's your $600, idiot.
Everyone's looking at that like it's an insult.
So, there's too many agendas.
Too many.
In the UK... In the name of a new podcast, too many agendas.
Here's an advertisement, one of a series from the United Kingdom.
Someone jogging, walking their dog, or working out in the park is highly likely to have COVID-19.
This is a national health emergency.
Around one in three people have no symptoms and are spreading it without knowing.
So exercise locally.
If you're on your own, you can meet one other person.
But keep your distance.
Exercise.
Don't socialize.
And wash your hands the moment you get home.
Stop the spread.
Stick to the rules.
If you bend the rules, people will die.
Stay home.
Protect the NHS. If you bend the rules, people will die.
Die, I tell you.
So they're filling the airwaves with that.
So then we have...
At first brush, this may seem funny, and I think that a lot of people just think it's hilarious.
I'm quite concerned by the headline, which was initially reported in the Washington Post and then picked up everywhere because it is funny.
That China is now using anal swabs to test for COVID in high-risk groups.
Now, there is good news, as the anal swab only needs to be inserted between one and two inches, so it's not too bad.
But they even tested people who came in on a flight on China Air, According to Bloomberg, passengers on a flight from Changchuk to Beijing were tested for COVID-19 via nose and anal swabs.
So, like you take a plane ride...
Do they give you the anal swab before the nose swab?
I sure hope so.
I sure hope so.
So, obviously, that's the funny part.
And, you know, it's very no agenda, this beautiful story.
And a lot of people emailed this to me.
However, going back in my mind and the research we did very early on, you had the L strain and the S strain.
And now that it's cool to talk about strains and mutants and variants, it's been happening all along.
But there was an early, and we have strain research to back it up.
I mean, there are charts of these two different strains.
The S strain is what most people got, highly contagious, but probably won't kill you, not that strong.
The L strain, that's the one that is not very contagious because it's spread via feces.
So I'm questioning now, do the Chinese know something?
Are they on the lookout for a really bad strain, which may be less contagious but more lethal?
Because why else are you doing this?
For joke versus joke?
No, I don't think it's a joke.
They have a sense of humor.
Well, add this.
Anonymous producer in the morning.
My wife is a rollercoaster engineer for Universal Studios Orlando, who, by the way, we need to hang out with.
A rollercoaster engineer.
That's cool.
Nice.
She's getting asked to go help finish their new park in Beijing set to open this summer.
Human Resources gave her the rundown on what it takes to get into China right now.
And she says, I'll work backwards.
When you get to China, you have to quarantine for two weeks in what is essentially a Chinese Motel 6 with hall monitors.
You can't leave your room where they shout at you in Chinese.
They bring you food every meal.
You can't go outside and you can barely do laundry.
But...
Our anonymous producer continues.
What I found more interesting is what you need to do before you go.
They want you to take both tests, the PCR and the antibody test.
You cannot test positive on either.
So, he says it seems strange they wouldn't want people with the antibodies, but maybe they're being overly cautious.
But here it comes.
If you have had either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, you are not allowed entry into China.
Hello!
What's that about?
That needs to be reported on.
Yes!
So if you've had just the vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna, you're not allowed to enter the country.
That is sketch.
Well, that needs to be confirmed.
But I would say...
Well, he said...
Do the Chinese know that these vaccines are just...
They don't do anything?
Or they make it weird?
Perhaps they are worried that if you come in and you've had the mRNA vaccine, which is what these are, perhaps they're worried that if you catch the next variant flying around China, that you might die.
Because that is what the biggest problem was with the animal trials of these particular types of, quote, vaccines that were skipped over.
Think of the minks.
Yes.
Oh, not only think of the minks, word is out now.
Let me see if I can find this new story.
Okay.
There is now news coming from, shocker, shocker from the pharmaceutical industries that you probably might have to think about getting your pets vaccinated against COVID-19 because, you know, they can get it, they can die, they can pass it on to you.
Oh yeah, they're coming for your pets.
Well, you said that some time back.
Also, it's a great market.
I mean, there's going to be no subsidy.
So, you know, you want to have your pet vaccinated for COVID-19?
You're going to have to pay.
You will pay big.
What do you think?
A couple hundred bucks a shot?
Just say no.
No.
Why?
This is too fun.
There's other clues of weird collaborations.
I'm not quite sure what this is about.
I have some ideas.
This is the Well Health Safety Program.
And they are promoting to become the brand that the building you're entering is safe from COVID germs.
And they've got a celebrity lineup of people promoting this seal of approval.
Each one of them got a few shares of stock.
Something.
Well, it starts with Lady Gaga.
We all want to feel safe in the places we spend our time.
Restaurants, theaters, stores, hotels, stadiums, offices, banks, childcare centers, and schools.
I'm Dr.
Richard Carmona.
This is the Well Health Safety Seal from the International Well Building Institute, the global authority on healthy buildings.
When you see the Well Health Safety Seal, it means health and safety measures have met rigorous scientific standards.
So look for the well-held safety seal outside and feel more confident going inside.
I mean, you've got De Niro.
Another scam.
I mean, do you think that they're really in on the money side?
Or is this maybe something for venues that they're involved in because they want to do concerts?
I heard Wolfgang Puck in there.
He owns a bunch of restaurants.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that makes sense.
And then De Niro, I guess, for the movie theaters.
Okay.
De Niro?
Well, no, De Niro owns a bunch of restaurants, too.
He's got a lot of property and stuff in New York.
Ah, so they got them all for free.
They got no shares.
They were on their knees begging to be...
Please give me the seal so I can open up.
And Gaga needs to go back on the road doing concerts.
Yeah.
Help open me up.
Seal of approval.
You're right.
You are so right.
Let's get back to the American Rundown, because I mentioned in the newsletter that Democracy Now is one of the outliers that doesn't seem to have a clue about what's going on here.
Let's back off on the scary reporting.
At least Newsom knows what's going on.
He's been read in, but Damien hasn't been read in yet, so we still get these death reports.
And it's always worse than the next day.
Whatever she does when she reports, it's always the worst.
I mean, when she does climate reporting, it's The hottest day, hottest Tuesday in the history of the world.
Hottest Tuesday afternoon.
Yeah, so here's her COVID Democracy Now!
death report.
Oh my.
The world has recorded over 100 million cases of COVID-19.
Global deaths now top 2.1 million in the US. January is already the deadliest month since the start of the pandemic, with at least 80,000 lives lost.
President Biden took new steps Tuesday to ramp up the rollout of vaccines, including the purchase of 200 million more doses, Oh,
man.
I have a couple of clips on that.
I kind of wanted to go through, because before we get into specifics, because there's a mask thing that's full of crap, there's a vaccine discrepancy that is off the hook.
Oh, and there's a thing going on in the EU where they're suing Moderna because they're not producing enough jabs.
Well, they're telling...
Not just Moderna, I think it's...
It wasn't Moderna...
It's Pfizer.
They're telling Pfizer, don't send anything to the UK, even though they ordered early.
We need them.
And you're producing here in Brussels, so we're not going to let those traitors who ran away from us, we're not going to let them have it.
They're trying to subvert these warring factions now between countries.
But the thing that struck me is you have everyone jockeying for position, everybody working on maybe their legacy, maybe their next job as they're out the door.
The medical elites were out in force just trying to show how virtuous they are and how right they are and how they defended the country.
I'm not sure how it ties into President Biden's administration, but I do have a few clips.
It's interesting to see how everyone's jockeying.
And it starts...
Well, Fauci, of course, would be the top guy.
Key figures from the start of the pandemic are now opening up about President Trump's coronavirus task force.
In a candid interview with The New York Times, Dr. Anthony Fauci says despite clashing with Trump, he never considered resigning.
Dr. Fauci tells The Times, I always felt that if I did walk away, the skunk at the picnic would no longer be at the picnic, adding he couldn't resign because someone had to push back against the nonsense being spouted from the administration.
You see, this is like spiking the ball.
Like, I gotta make sure everybody knows what I did.
Birx is out.
Now, Birx said she was retiring, left in shame after she broke her own rules to winterize her house over Thanksgiving because we wanted to stop the surge.
Where did that...
Whatever happened to the Thanksgiving surge?
Did we ever get it?
Well, they're wishy-washy about it.
And the worst, of course, would have been the Christmas surgeon.
They're not talking about that because they're having to let up on everything.
Here's Burks.
Were there COVID deniers in the White House?
This is Margaret Brennan, so I guess, what is that?
CBS. Were there COVID deniers in the White House?
COVID deniers in the White House!
There are people in the White House and I think people around this country because I've had the privilege to meet them and listen to them and hear them because I wanted to hear what people were saying.
There were people who definitely believed that this was a hoax.
Why?
I think because the information was confusing at the beginning.
I think because we didn't talk about the spectrum of disease.
Because everyone interpreted on what they knew.
And so they saw people get COVID and be fine.
And then they had us talking about how severe the disease is and how it could cause these unbelievable fatalities of our American public.
Oh, and then you started covering up the fact that it was people who were half dead anyway, and you killed a whole bunch more in nursing homes.
That's where most people died.
That's what you covered up, but okay.
Let's talk about what really was going on behind the scenes.
It took a while after I arrived in the White House to remove all of the ancillary data that was coming in.
I mean, there was parallel data streams coming into the White House that were not transparently utilized.
And I needed to stop that.
You mean outside advisors?
Outside advisors coming to inside advisors.
And to this day, I mean, to the day I left, I am convinced there were parallel data streams because I... Disinformation.
I saw the president presenting graphs that I never made.
So I know that someone or someone out there or someone inside was creating a parallel set of data and graphics that were shown to the president.
I don't know to this day who, but I know what I sent up, and I know that what was in his hands was different from that.
I don't know what to make of this accusation.
Well, we've talked about this before.
First of all, the president's job is to take different points of view.
So science, this was how science works, coincidentally.
And that's how science works.
Curiously, science isn't all one, you know, this is it, this is the fact.
And what is her deal?
I mean, and she's bitching about this.
She's been bitching about this ever since Trump got kicked out of office.
And this is a cover-your-ass moment.
Yeah, what's interesting is over on CNN, Breonna Keillor, for some reason, had to rip her apart.
And she was ripping her apart specifically for her, I guess, this interview that she did.
And the first thing Keillor does is plays the infamous clip of Trump talking about ultraviolet light and injecting disinfectant.
And I like that she did this because not only is it in context, you hear what the president at the time did or did not say.
But you also hear Birx and how she's called on in a response and then Keillor rips her parts.
So this is the original piece.
Please note there is never any mention of drinking bleach, but okay, this is what...
That was a good joke.
It was very funny.
Jimmy Kimmel.
Very funny.
Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light...
And I think you said that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it.
And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way.
And I think you said you're going to test that, too.
Sounds interesting.
Right.
And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute.
And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning heat and the light relative to certain viruses?
Yes, but relative to this virus?
Not as a treatment.
I mean, certainly fever is a good thing when you have a fever.
It helps your body respond.
But not as I've not seen heat or...
I think it's a great thing to look at.
So...
And I don't think she was really paying attention because he says, what do you think?
And she says, well, that's a treatment.
And then she rambles on about something.
But she clearly said, yeah, that's a treatment.
And she wasn't really prepared to discuss it.
But now let's listen to how Breonna Keeler takes her down for her response about this on Face the Nation.
On Burks' Reputation Rehab Tour, this is how she describes it.
That's the Reputation Rehab Tour.
Holy crap, someone wants Burks out, I guess.
I didn't even catch that the first time.
Was I prepared for that?
No, I wasn't prepared for that.
I didn't even know what to do in that moment.
Sometimes people say, well, Tony Fauci, when that happened to him, he would sort of gently come back up to the podium and set the record straight.
Well, he was given the opportunity to do that.
And you don't feel you were given the opportunity to respond?
Not until he turned to me and said, could this be a treatment?
And I said, not a treatment.
Yeah, that was it.
That was the opportunity to respond, to tell people not to ingest or inject bleach.
It was a glaring and a blinking neon sign, and she missed it.
So Breonna Keillor comes back, and after having just played the clip, which does not include the word bleach and drinking, she says it!
That Burke should have responded to that.
How could she...
Oh, so she thought Berkshire responded to something that wasn't even said.
Correct.
This was part of the...
This actually has to be thought about.
Because this is the hearing what you want to hear kind of phenomenon.
That's both sides exhibit.
But to play the clip and then not hear...
We've done this exercise before on this show.
A lot of times where you play a clip and then the person responds to it as though they heard something in there.
They're very adamant about it.
I don't know what to make of it.
It's fantastic.
This is really an embarrassment.
And she's on network news getting at least three times as much money as we're getting combined.
Three times?
How about 30 times?
The two of us put together all the money we can possibly make.
She's making three, okay, ten times.
She's making too much money.
She shouldn't even be on the air.
She should be fired immediately.
What's wrong with the executives at these networks?
Yeah.
I would do exactly what you did.
I'd play the clip and then I'd ask her, now you're saying, where's the word drink?
Where's the word bleach?
Tell me, because you said it on the air.
You're embarrassing our company.
You're an embarrassment to our company.
Why can't people do that?
What happened to that?
Oh, you might hurt her feelings.
Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
That's fantastic.
I'm getting very annoyed by these clips.
Oh, good.
Then let me play a few more.
Thank you, Neil Jones.
Now you know what you're working for.
You know, so Neil Jones has been sending me about eight to ten clips a show.
He's a clip master.
He's a janitor.
And he's been listening to the show for a number of years.
And he lives, I think, in Mississippi.
And he says, you know, I've listened to you guys.
I pulled both my sons out of school.
I homeschooled them.
I've been homeschooling for a while.
I've been homeschooling for a long...
He actually said, it wasn't just taking them out of school.
I reclaimed my sons, is what he said.
And...
And he's got...
He sent me a picture of his setup.
He's got, you know, quad screens.
He's got an audio editing bay.
And he has a chair.
And he just sits there.
He's like, clickety-click-click.
He's a maniac.
Love him!
He's a maniac.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
Hey, they're out there.
These are the same guys...
You know, when I was working on a small radio station at the college station...
Yeah.
We had all these giant transcription discs, and they were like 16 inchers.
And there were people that, a lot of these things have been handed down from person to person.
You can't really play them more than once.
I mean, you can play them once and record them, and then you get them off to the next group.
It was like a trading system.
And there were these guys, apparently, I said it, in the 1930s, We're like this guy, and they would record off-the-air broadcasts, and they'd catch a lot of live performances by people like Benny Goodman that would never put on vinyl.
Yeah, yeah.
But these were around, and it was, so I'm listening to one of these, and it was a Benny Goodman song, and there was something that happened right in the middle of the song.
It sounded like the roof caved in, and just as the band kicked it up, and I said, wow, what kind of a special effect was that to get the audience all worked up?
It was supposedly a lightning strike.
Oh.
In the neighborhood of the guy doing the recording, and it got caught on the transcription.
Oh.
Yeah, that's a little anecdote for you kids.
No, I like that.
And the troll room has already given him a nickname.
He is Neil Jones, formerly known as Janitor, from now on he should be known as the official No Agenda Clip Custodian.
I know, it's good, isn't it?
Clip Custo!
But this is the production that is done by this show.
That's part of it.
So he gives me back 50, 5-0 minutes of prep time by doing that, so I can look at other things, put other things together.
People are sending good clips.
They really are.
They've learned how to edit, and I'm very impressed.
Very, very impressed.
Yes, Clip Custodian, thank you.
Now, a lot was said about the masks, and this is mainly because Dr. Fauci, who is now front and center and completely, I am convinced, this man is deranged.
He wants to hurt you.
He is working no longer, or maybe he never was working for the American people or for the world.
He is completely representing the vaccine industry.
Will refuses to discuss.
We don't hear anything about any other therapeutics.
We're not going to discuss that, even though we've learned from other doctors and scientists that vaccines are kind of outdated since we have therapies for all of these horrible diseases, which they, from what we're learning now, marginally do anything to help with.
So masking is next.
Double masking.
It's just common sense.
So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.
And that's the reason why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95. So, it's just common sense.
It's not very scientific.
And I think he blew it on this.
And he's just trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Hey, man.
You know, it's like, you got one, you got two.
How can two be worse?
How can two be worse?
Well, Shep Smith, over there at CNBC, he's got his new primetime show, which nobody watches, but except no agenda producers, he took it to the task and they really rolled out all the info on double and triple masking.
But now the experts say with these variants, it's time to double up.
Double up!
This morning, Dr.
Fauci endorsed the idea on the Today Show.
If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective.
More effective, especially with one new variant spreading much more easily.
CBC's Contessa Brewer with us now to break down the science behind double masking and what we're all supposed to do.
Contessa?
Hi there, Shep.
Yeah, the experts keep telling us that wearing masks is really about protecting others from ourselves in the event that we are contagious.
But, you know, if other people aren't wearing their masks or they're wearing them improperly, we need to protect ourselves.
So experts say you can double up with a tight weave fabric mask for Now, Virginia Tech researchers found that doubling up these cloth masks increases the efficacy from 50 to 75%.
A three-layer mask could block up to 90% of the particles.
And if you're layering your mask, the disposable surgical mask goes on first, and then the tight-fitting fabric mask goes right over the top.
Okay, so, frontline healthcare workers use N95 masks.
They're hard to find.
And some experts Some say, look, you should really save those for the medical teams.
Others say, if you see them on sale, go ahead, just protect yourself.
But the Chinese version, KN95, masks are widely available.
It's advertised as being five layers.
I bought these on Amazon.
I wore them through the airport and on the plane for a recent news assignment.
The trick with this is really this fit, tight around your nose, your face, your chin.
In other words, you really should see the mark on your face after you're wearing it.
You can also buy these double layer fabric masks.
They come with a filter like this one.
You can take it out and you wash it separately.
But Shep, in every instance, fit is the key here.
So, what have we learned?
Wait, did she say success in every instance?
At the very end there?
Yeah.
I'm not sure.
We can check it.
Also buy these double layer fabric masks.
They come with a filter like this one.
You can take it out and you wash it separately.
But Shep, in every instance, fit is the key here.
Oh, fit is the key.
Oh, okay.
But Shep.
Shep, you need to get the KN95, the Chinese N95. Oh, yeah.
And it needs to fit so tight that it leaves a mark.
Where the mask is.
Okay.
Yeah, sure.
Mark of the mask.
Ooh.
Ooh, the mark of the mask.
I like that.
So, I would not wear the Chinese KN95 under any circumstance.
I mean, these guys won't let us into their country if you have our vaccine.
And now they're going to send you their mask?
I don't know what I'm breathing.
I don't think so.
What would you just say?
It smells like chloroform.
Mark of the mask?
Is that what you say?
Mark of the mask!
So...
Yeah, let's do it right.
But the whole thing is the N95. Hold on.
Mark of the mask!
Beautiful.
That's beautiful.
That's how we produce, baby.
We produce the show during the show.
It's Marker 7.
This was another thing.
Fauci said specifically, N95s, you're crazy, don't wear them.
And now it's just common sense, just common sense.
There was a bunch of these guys, don't wear a mask, a mask you don't need, an N95, you're not a doctor.
And they went on and on at the beginning of this whole thing back in March about the mask.
Oh, you don't need one.
Here it is.
Listen to it.
Right now, in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
You're sure of it?
Because people are listening really closely to this.
Right now, people should not be walking around with a mask.
When you're in the middle of an outbreak, Wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better, and it might even block a droplet.
But it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is.
And often, there are unintended consequences.
People keep fiddling with the mask, and they keep touching their face.
And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there?
Of course, of course.
But when you think masks, you should think of health care providers needing them and people who are ill.
Okay, so he's full of shit.
I mean, we don't even need to really go into it.
He's clearly contradicting himself.
He's never given an appropriate answer.
And even when he gets called to task, on the mat to account for what he said, the mofo gets a pass like no one else's business.
And props to the CIA broadcasting system.
That's Face the Nation is CBS, correct?
Yeah, that's CBS, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, meet the press as NBC. Right.
So, not only did they grill Birx, who of course got a pass, but listen to the vaccine numbers and how Fauci blatantly lies about what he said about the number of vaccines we would be putting into arms.
This is a good piece of journalism.
Now, it goes nowhere for us, but You know the goal that's been set, which I believe is entirely achievable?
Is to have a hundred million people vaccinated in the first hundred days.
Both vaccines?
Primary and boost, yes.
Primary and boost in a hundred days.
Yes, yes.
So doctor, in that exchange you seem to be promising a bit more than the president is.
Can you just bottom line it, how many people will be fully vaccinated within a hundred days?
Yeah, so let me clarify that, because there was a little bit of a misunderstanding.
Oh, really?
I heard very clearly what he said.
Sounds like everybody's getting all their vaccines, and the boost, and the boost, and the boost.
100 million Americans, that was clear.
There's no disinformation, no, there's no Russia...
So how is he gonna explain this one away?
I'm very excited to hear this.
Yeah.
So let me clarify that because there was a little bit of a misunderstanding.
What we're talking about is 100 million shots in individuals.
So shots, as in other words, when you get down to, let's say, a certain part of the 100 days, at the end of 100 days, you're going to have some people who will have gotten both shots and some will still be on their first shots.
What the president is saying, 100 million shots in the arms of people within 100 days.
So reportedly the transition team projections are that that's more like 67 million people by April, by the end of 100 days.
Is that an accurate number?
Yeah, that is...
Well, I haven't done the math myself, but it sounds very much like the accurate...
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm the top scientist in the world on immunology and I haven't done the math.
What?
I'm sorry, I haven't done the math so hard for me to consider how many people are going to get the vaccine.
This is, he's pathological.
Reportedly, the transition team projections are that that's more like 67 million people by April, by the end of 100 days.
Is that an accurate number?
Yeah, that is, well, I haven't done it myself, but it sounds very much like the accurate number where you're having people who will have gotten two doses and then some that are still on their first dose.
So, of course, it never does you say, yeah, I was wrong.
That would do it for me.
Like, yeah, I was wrong.
That's a misunderstanding.
And it's actually a month later than the Trump administration promised 100 million vaccines.
Anyway, nothing is made easy by President Joe Biden, who is just not making life easy for the writers, for the scriptwriters.
The producers got their hands in their hands.
The director is walking off set.
The man can't deliver a line!
These two steps are going to help increase our prospects of hitting or exceeding, God willing, the ambitious goal of 100 million shots in 100 days.
But I also want to be clear.
100 million shots in 100 days is not the end point.
It's just the start.
We're not stopping there.
The end goal is to beat COVID-19.
And the way we do that is to get more people vaccinated, which means we have to be ready after we hit the ground.
We have to hit the goal of 100 million shots in 100 days.
Now, that means fewer than 100 million people getting totally vaccinated.
It means 100 shots.
And it means somewhere between 60, maybe less, maybe more million people will have that because it requires two shots in many cases, not always.
So today, I'm directing COVID-19 response coordinator Jeff Zients here to work with the Department of Health and Human Services to increase our total supply of vaccine for the American people.
Now, I think he said 10 billion in here somewhere.
This goal of 100 million shots in 100 days.
No, maybe not.
There's a couple of things that should be noted.
What does he mean when he says you don't need two shots all the time?
Since these are binary shots, you need two of them.
One to get you started and the second one to kill you.
And then...
I don't have any clips of this, but I'll just tell you what they've been...
There's just local...
Our locals around here have said the following.
You've got to get that second shot within a three-week or two-week time frame, whatever the time frame is.
And if you can't get another one of the same type, take the other type.
No way.
You can take a Moderna.
No way.
Yes.
But that was explicitly foreboding.
I've heard it more than once where they've said, you've got to get these two shots in you within a certain time frame.
If you can't get two Pfizer's, get one Pfizer and one Moderna.
Or if you get two Modernas, get one Moderna and one Pfizer.
It's just beyond me.
And now I feel bad that I didn't take the clip.
Well, we have that somewhere.
I know we had a clip of that being said, never mix them up.
But now Biden goes – so now he's had to explain something a little more complicated, math.
So he has to say 68, 67 million.
You know, he's trying to rectify Fauci's mistake foolishly because now he just goes off the rails.
And I think that they either put something up in the teleprompter.
I see no evidence of earpieces or even the little hearing aids that I have miniaturized.
No, he's reading from a prompter.
They changed the prompter to tell him that he was saying something very, very wrong.
And we believe that we'll soon be able to confirm the purchase of an additional 100 billion doses.
100 billion?
Each of the two FDA-authorized vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna.
That's 100 million more doses of Pfizer and 100 million more doses of Moderna.
200 million more doses than the federal government had previously secured.
Not in hand yet, but ordered.
We expect these additional 200 million doses to be delivered this summer.
And some of it will come as early, begin to come in early summer, but by the midsummer that this vaccine will be there.
When?
And that increases the total vaccine order in the United States by 50%.
From 400 million order to 600 million.
This is enough vaccine to fully vaccinate 300 Americans.
By end of the summer, the beginning of the fall.
But we want to make...
Look, I want to repeat.
It'll be enough to fully vaccinate 300 Americans to beat this pandemic.
300 million Americans.
And this is an aggregate plan.
It sounds to me like he said 300.
I think someone might have written something real quick.
Remind them 300 million.
By end of the summer, the beginning of the fall.
But we want to make...
What?
I don't think so.
You can't get it on the prompter that quick.
There's no way.
It's not possible.
For one thing, the prompter guy is the lowest paid guy in the room.
Wow, wow, wow.
Okay.
I just want to say I have had lifelong relationships with prompter operators, and many of them are very, very professional, and they are pretty well paid these days.
The ones that can do this kind of stuff.
They can't do this stuff on the fly.
Yes, they can.
It's totally possible.
They've done it with me, where they slap something in there quickly at the bottom while I'm still reading the top half part.
Yeah, I think the software has improved quite a bit.
Can you imagine doing that, what you just described, doing that with Biden?
Yeah, that's why he fucks up all the time.
And you think they would even attempt it?
Yes, I think they're doing anything they can to keep this guy straight.
It's possible.
The way you would do it, I'm just talking from this perspective.
We're talking from a production perspective.
Yes, of course.
Of course.
I think you could do the following.
You could have the prompter copy and have somebody or two people with cue cards.
Possible.
And so when somebody's, when he's screwing something up, they can hold up a cue card and he can glance at it.
Now, I haven't been tracking his eyeballs because he's squinting so he can't see what he's really looking at.
Have you noticed how much Botox he has?
No, seriously.
Next time you look at his face, each side of his head, his forehead, has wrinkles.
These wrinkles are frozen.
They are stuck in perpetual time.
His whole forehead is frozen, but the wrinkles, they're like, okay, Joe, we're going to keep the wrinkles like this.
Now we're going to put the Botox in so they stay that way.
No one's noticing this but me, apparently.
I hadn't noticed it, but it wouldn't surprise me that they Botox him up.
Oh, yeah.
He needs it.
Totally.
But doing anything on that prompter, because he's going to read whatever it says.
Well, our professional prompter operator union will get in touch with us and will let us know if it's possible or not.
This is the beauty of the no agenda show.
Maybe somebody in the Biden administration can tell us some behind the scenes stuff.
Yeah, could anyone please just tell us what's going on there?
Don't we have anybody?
Yeah, what's going on with this maniac?
Anybody know what's going on?
Let's see.
Team Halo.
Nothing from Dr.
Cat really this week.
We did get...
Oh, yeah, there was.
Oh, you got a cat video?
I don't have a cat.
No, I don't have any cat stuff.
But apparently she went on one...
I said it again.
It's two.
Twice.
She went on one of the shows, somebody else's show, and condemned us.
Us?
No agenda?
Yeah.
No.
Dr.
Cat?
Yeah.
Well, how come we don't have this clip?
It's never gotten to the clip.
Somebody reported this.
Dr.
Kat from TikTok, Team Halo, United Nations World Health Organization, demeaned us?
The No Agenda show?
She said those jerks at No Agenda?
I don't have it right at the top of my...
I thought you had.
The reason I didn't get it is because this was your beat, I figured.
No, no one sent it to me.
She didn't condemn us.
She just...
She was irked by the fact that we called her a dingbat.
I think I did that.
And that you were ridiculing her.
Yes.
And you had some nickname for it.
I think I did that.
And you were ridiculing her.
You had some nickname and she was not happy about it.
She's just trying to help the public, I guess.
No, she's not.
Somebody can dig this up and run on Sunday.
Yeah, well, I definitely want to hear that.
Well, so we do have a different guy.
From Team Halo, the distilled science guy, I think.
And he's telling us how to discuss the vaccine with friends.
This could be some handy tips for us, so we know how to do that.
How to talk about the vaccine with your friends and loved ones.
Step off.
Don't disparage them.
Most people are just afraid and hearing conflicting information.
Honest inquiry is the foundation of science.
Step 2.
Address their emotions.
Behavioral psychology studies have shown that even when updating people's facts around vaccines, it doesn't really change their behavior.
Instead, empathize.
Tell them how you were concerned about taking the vaccine as well, but you decided to get it based on XYZ facts.
Take them on your journey.
Step 3.
Update their understanding.
I'll try to do more videos on this, but the most important point to convey is that vaccines do not contain any live virus.
It is not possible for what they inject you with to actually replicate and infect anymore of your cells.
I have a fun analogy that really helps this conversation, so stay tuned for it.
Don't forget to drop any questions in the comments and share this video with anyone who needs to hear it.
I really prefer Dr.
Cat to this guy.
Oh God, I couldn't take that guy.
Whatever we said to Dr.
Cat, please.
Before you know, come back.
Come back, Cat.
Come back, Cat.
We need you.
You brought us so much more entertaining information.
He dropped a little phrase in there that I was going to bring later in the show because Amy Goodman uses it.
It's one of these things you don't notice it.
You've never used it on this show.
I've never used it in my life.
And it's not that it's a bad thing not to use, but when you start listening for it, it becomes one of those little no agenda irksome commentaries.
You know, one of those little things that, oh, you hear it over and over.
Okay, I can't wait.
And he said it in there.
And I want to ask you about this.
The term is loved ones.
Your loved ones, yes.
Yeah, you have to explain this to your loved ones.
And Amy uses it in a Palestinian clip about, you know, the worm is turned with Palestine because...
Biden's all, you know, we're going to support the Palestine, screw the Israelis kind of thing is what it really amounts to.
Basically, yeah.
And she talks about the loved ones.
You know, they had many loved ones killed.
So I hear this and I'm thinking, what...
Is this how you refer to people you...
No, your family members, you don't say family members.
All your family, everybody you know, everyone in your family is a loved one?
That's not true.
It's a lie.
Well, isn't loved ones, aren't they the ones that are dead?
It's past tense.
Your loved ones.
No, if you listen to what's-his-name's report right there, that guy you just played, he's talking about how to explain these things to your loved ones.
Your loved ones, yeah.
Well, to me, I mean, I've heard this many times in journalism throughout the years.
I've never seen it written.
I don't know anyone who's ever written loved ones.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, definitely.
You think so, but I think it's been pounded into this idea of loved ones.
And I have to say this, if you have a family of 25 people, these 25 people are not your loved ones because there's two or three in there that you hate.
Wow.
But you could...
I think what that means is...
Okay.
No, no, no.
I've got it.
What was the bit about?
The bit was about your family members who are anti-vaxxer, probably Trumpsters, Trumplicans, crazy alt-right, bordering on domestic violent extremists.
So they're still your family.
So even though your brother or your cousin or your son-in-law is incredible, Trump-loving, America-hating, QAnon, white supremacist, racist, bigoted, domestic-violent extremist, he still...
loved ones you see in this case love means i'm not shunning you from my life for the asshole you are because we're connected so i will use a word like loved ones there we go when you're insincere when you don't really love the people when you think a couple of them are dicks then you call them all collectively loved ones loved ones yeah well solved that And I think you nailed it.
You don't like these people.
That was useful.
That was a useful exercise, actually.
And so, the Palestinian clip.
Let's play it.
Let's see if we can apply the logic of the definition of the term.
Is this the Palestinian gold again, or which one are we doing?
Well, I got a couple, and unfortunately we have to play them both, but I think the shot dead...
Okay.
Well, no, no.
We'll do it in order.
Palestinians gold again, which is what's happening.
I don't know if this has loved ones in it.
I think it's the next clip.
It's okay.
We're still excited to learn if we can apply our theory.
theory.
Richard Mills, the acting U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the Biden administration will restore diplomatic relations with the Palestinian Authority and resume aid to Cut off.
There it is.
All right.
That's our update on Palestine.
Yep, we got it.
You have to always have this after that.
You always have to report on somebody getting shot by those evil Israelis.
Although I think so.
And usually it's meaningless.
They just shoot people apparently.
I said it three times.
So let's play that clip.
In other news from the region, Israeli forces shot dead another Palestinian teenager, 17-year-old Talarayan, at a military post near a Jewish settlement in the occupied West Bank.
Israelis accused the teen of trying to attack the soldiers.
Where's loved ones?
Well, I don't know.
You've duped us.
Bait and switch.
I pranked you.
It's somewhere coming.
Bait and switch, man.
I don't know what you did.
This is it.
This is it.
Amy, bad reporting on riots, I'll bet.
That could be, but I think it's the Houthis, now the good guys.
Houthis are also, by the way, they're good again.
Oh, the Houthis are the good guys.
Oh, alright.
In other news from the State Department, a spokesperson said it's reviewing the designation of Yemen's Houthi rebels by the Trump administration as a terrorist group.
On Monday, the Treasury Department said it was authorizing financial transactions with the Houthis for the next month after aid groups and the UN warned the move would cut off Yemenis from much needed aid and essential transactions.
No, no, we miss again.
It's not in that report either.
However, now we've had a lot of Jew news, it's time to continue the trend.
ABC Australia.
And commemorations to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day are being held in the German Parliament, with politicians using the occasion to warn of the continuing dangers of anti-Semitism.
Germany's Foreign Minister Heiko Maas says the problem has not disappeared, but instead keeps shape-shifting.
Jewish leaders have chosen to highlight similarities between what happened in Nazi Germany and the mass retention of Uyghur Muslims in today's China.
Yeah!
Not a single report recognizes the complete anti-Semitic nature of the term shape-shifting.
It's crazy!
Can you imagine the guy said, no, they're shape-shifters, man.
And everyone just reads it straight.
I haven't seen anyone, like, fall over this.
Are we the only ones who are nuts?
It seems so, yes.
I love that.
It's just crazy.
We're going to continue with these reports.
I was going to finish up the vaccine.
Then we need to take a break.
Oh, okay.
I only have one more.
I got that Tony Blinken is on board.
Winking and blinking.
On board with what?
He's on board with kicking the Jews to the curb and going with the Palestinians.
Let's finish that segment then.
Here we go.
The U.S.'s top diplomat is sworn into office, and at his first press conference shortly afterwards, a clear shift in tone from the previous administration when it comes to foreign policy.
Announcements included a temporary halt on Trump-era arms deals to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates that the U.S. fears could further fuel conflict in Yemen.
Also on the agenda, a different tack on relations with Iran, Russia and China.
Biden's administration hopes to overturn one of the biggest actions of Trump's time in office by rejoining the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, but only if Iran shows willing first.
Iran is out of compliance on a number of fronts, and it would take some time, should it make the decision to do so, for it to come back into compliance, and time for us then to assess Whether it was meeting its obligations.
Trump's withdrawal encouraged the Islamic Republic to breach the terms of the deal.
If Iran returns to it, Washington would seek to build what Lincoln called a longer and stronger agreement that would deal with other deeply problematic issues.
Donald Trump's seeming admiration of Vladimir Putin hasn't survived the Biden transition either.
Biden has already called the Russian president to express concern over the arrest of opposition politician Alexei Navalny and the role of Russian hackers in cyberattacks.
Other items are also being investigated.
We're looking at the reports of bounties placed by Russia on American forces in Afghanistan, and of course we're looking at these questions of election interference.
All right.
All right.
Oh, it's going to be fun.
It's going to be a fun couple of years.
And they bring up the debunked bounties on soldier story and they threw that in?
Of course.
Why wouldn't you?
Blinken is the one who brings it up and they know better.
Well, yes.
This is going to lead the public astray.
Yes, correct.
Alright, finishing up on the vaccines real quick.
First, some good news from one of our producers.
We were wondering what happened to the actor, Daniel Dae Kim, who had been successfully treated with hydroxychloroquine.
Dead.
To the anonymous producer during your segment on hydroxychloroquine, you played a clip from actor Daniel Dae Kim as support for the drug.
Then you ask, where is he now?
I can tell you he is on his way to Toronto to star in a retelling of the 2001 anthrax attacks.
I will have access to Mr.
Kim after he clears Canadian quarantine and can probably ask him some questions.
No, we'd just like to have him say, Hi, I'm Daniel Dae Kim.
I survived the Rona with hydroxychloroquine.
No agenda is the best podcast in the universe.
Do we need much more, John?
I think that would be good.
I'll send him an H4 recorder if he can get that little clip.
Hell yeah, that would be beautiful, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
But I wouldn't want to compromise his career.
Which seems entirely possible.
Now, about the vaccines, they're rolling out everywhere.
You know that if people are getting vaccines in Florida, these are true believers.
And we have a local Florida report, WINK, tells us what the vaccines are doing and what they're good for.
Experts say life won't get back to normal until the majority of people have gotten their COVID-19 shots.
So that means we should be living life like we have the last year.
Limited gatherings, social distancing, and masks.
In just a few days, the thousands of people who waited in these lines in Lee County will get their second doses.
And they couldn't be happier.
It's a relief.
It's a relief.
But experts say our lives won't change much after the second shot goes into our arms.
I think you still have to be careful.
A lot of the stress is gone, but you still have to be careful.
I know that we'll still be living in masks for, I don't know, maybe another year.
FGCU's director of the Physician's Assistant Program, Robert Hawke, says we'll all need to be cautious for a few more months because not everyone will be protected against COVID, which means masks and our six feet of social distance will still be our way of life.
Because while they may not have it, it's possible they could be carrying it.
You still need to be able to protect others around you.
So despite getting the vaccine, you can still spread COVID-19.
I just think until everyone is vaccinated, it's just not a good idea to change our behaviors at all.
And there's the true big lie.
The big lie started almost 400 days ago with the two-week flatten the curve exercise.
And from there, here we are.
The vaccine was going to help us get back to normal.
No, we will not get back to normal.
Children across the world have been traumatized.
They are exhibiting poor communication skills.
Masking around them is really hurting them, hurting everybody.
I won't play it, but I have a clip by Dr.
Dave about what really happens psychologically with masking.
I had my first double mask experience, before I forget to tell you, at Whole Foods.
And I went to the deli counter, and now...
In Whole Foods, it's very noisy, so I have a particular setting on my hearing aids, so it picks up the mids really well.
Yeah, can I stop you here?
I thought you shopped at HEB. No, yesterday I... No, I will not go to HEB anymore.
Uh-oh.
Mm-hmm.
Report needed.
No, HEB is boycotting Mike Lindell's MyPillow.
Oh, okay.
I don't like that.
I don't like that either.
I don't like that sort of thing.
When you start doing that stuff, then you just become a political party.
And the HEB guy is really no different than Mike Lindell.
You know, self-starters, entrepreneurs, made their way.
Yeah, you think he has more respect.
Yeah, I would think so.
So I don't know.
I'm like, if I can stay away from HEB, I will.
Okay.
I just need the report.
Sorry.
But Whole Foods is doubly, I'm going to use it, problematic.
So first, they're double masking.
And so I have the hearing aids and I've set it so that I can, you know, I can hear mid-tones.
And I was trying to get some sliced turkey and I'm like...
And like, I'm sorry.
And of course, I'm tall, so I couldn't see that she was pointing to different smoked turkeys, roasted turkeys underneath the glass.
And I'm like, I'm sorry, I really can't understand.
And then finally, a nice lady next to me says, which one do you want?
I think you should get that one.
So, imagine a triple mask, and there's no way for me to reset my hearing aids, or even, I think any person with good hearing aids...
Hey, I'm going to have to tell you, I need to break this to you.
Yeah.
I know the hearing aid story's great, but I'm sure I couldn't understand it where she says, I'm having enough trouble, and I've got ears at work.
You do.
It's not the hearing aids.
Exactly.
And what was the other thing we were going to talk about?
I just mentioned it.
I don't know.
Oh, Amazon, yeah.
So I'm checking out, and...
What do you mean you're checking out?
Oh, Amazon.
You're still in the store, and you're an Amazon member.
Okay, here we go.
No, but here...
Yes, I'm an Amazon member, but I never took the rewards.
I never showed...
I just never...
I never...
I did not want Jeff Bezos tracking what I eat.
Tracking your food purchases.
Tracking my food purchases.
And...
And so, you know, I'm doing my little chat there with the checkout lady, and I'm helping her bag.
And she says, oh, and your Amazon points are all there.
You got your discount.
I said, what?
What?
I said, how can that happen?
I've specifically kept that apart so Jeff Bezos can't track what I'm eating.
She says, yeah.
Yeah, they started doing that automatically.
If you use your credit card for Amazon, then now they automatically connect you.
And I have a little script I'm supposed to read.
And I said, go ahead.
And she gave me the spiel about, you know, it's great benefits.
But I think that's...
I think that's...
Borderline...
There's got to be...
I'm sure they changed something in the terms of service that I didn't read, but that's not cool.
Just automatically associate that.
Most people think it's great.
And with that...
You know I'm right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in Clip Custodian did it twice, John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
In the morning to all ships and sea and boots on the ground and feet in the air and something in the water and all the dames and knights out there.
In the beginning of the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hey, trolls, how you doing?
Hands up.
Let me count.
We have low.
1980.
Trolls are leaving us in droves.
1,980 trolls are in the troll room.
We could use more.
Well, it is a Thursday.
So getting close to 2,000 is actually not all that bad.
And now people have been cut loose.
A lot of them are actually, indeed, at work.
Yes, trolling.
Instead of just sitting around at home having to listen to the No Agenda show.
That is true.
Especially in these states where we're opening up again.
19 is not bad.
We used our normal number in the olden days was 16.
I remember when we had less than 1,000.
Well, when you're just starting off, you're always going to have, you know...
Well, we appreciate all the trolls that sit there, do a number of things.
They give me one-liners, which sometimes are hilarious, and I always take my own credit.
Yeah, you take full credit.
I like that.
It's good.
Like a professional.
Yeah, it's like the pros do it.
Have someone else write the lines and you take credit for it.
It's beautiful.
But it's a good place to hang out.
You can meet people if you're in the bind and you need a technical answer or question or just want to sit around and listen to one of our many live shows because it's a chat room and a live stream at the same time.
Many of the shows are live.
If not, you're hearing something simultaneously.
You can go hang out, troll away, and while you're at it, Go ahead and ask for an invite to NoAgendaSocial.com, which is our federated social media network.
Before we go any further, I wanted to discuss something with you about No Agenda Social, John.
With the knowledge that, or my own theory, that the public square idea is bullcrap, That doesn't work, so Twitter can't be the digital town square.
What did people used to go to the town square for mainly, back in the olden days?
To have coffee?
No.
Well, yeah, they'd go there to have coffee, but if the whole city or the whole town, the whole village came together at the town square, what was the main reason?
Get drunk.
Watch someone get hung.
Oh, there's an element to that.
I thought it was mostly to meet people.
Well, yeah, you can meet people while someone's hanging.
While someone's getting hung.
Yes, exactly.
So that's the same thing that goes on on social networks.
At a certain point, it's just a very, very unique point.
Well, and here's where I'm taking that.
I know where you're going.
Okay, you'll see if you're right.
Knowing that at a certain point the scale is a problem, that's why I like Mastodon, because you can have other people with other groups.
And a good way to identify a group or groups that you belong to is through the podcast you listen to.
So people listen to Noah Jende, they may listen to Ben Shapiro, they may listen to Jordan Peterson, they may listen to the pool guy.
I mean...
You can identify, and I'm sure that there's a different discussion wherever they're taking it that Tim Pool has and a different discussion where Jen Briney looks at things.
Now, if everyone had a Mastodon server, you can still see what the others are doing without necessarily being a part of their timeline.
And this is what I like about the federated part.
And I'm considering, now that we're nearing 9,000 members on NoAgendaSocial.com, I'm considering closing it at 10,000.
and then but leaving federation open so you can have another no agenda related server or anyone else who wants to go somewhere else and you can federate with us and you can still be in the conversation but i think we're nearing a point just looking at the number of people who are ratting on each other and reporting not that anything will ever happen with you doing it because i won't i think it's time to shut it down at 10k What do you think?
So let me summarize what you're saying.
You're saying that the no agenda social is becoming such a pain in the ass and the overhead is so high.
No, no, it's not what I'm saying.
And it's getting so annoying.
Nope, that's not what I'm saying at all.
That you could shut it down.
That's what I'm hearing.
I know, that's why I'm countering you.
What I'm saying is, when you have too many people in the town square, it always starts to suck.
So to circumvent that, you can have your own server, and you can argue with your own people and your own friends, and they can be no agenda listeners, and you can federate, and you can jump in and out of conversations, but we can't have 20, 30, 40,000 people on the same timeline.
It will just suck.
I know it will.
Well, yeah.
You're probably right that it will start sucking.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, here's the question that I'd have.
You hit 10,000, we're closed.
Yeah.
And I'll have a link.
It's like, here's other...
Now, if somebody quits, can you...
Can somebody take their place?
Yeah, I guess we could do that.
I mean, I'm just, it's an arbitrary thing I'm stating here, but I'm very worried that it's so beautiful now, and I'm already seeing, you know, Aaroner, who's running this, he made up a page, since he's running it on his infrastructure, of legalese.
Now, it's very funny, and he's well-written, and he's covering his ass.
The fact that he has to do that tells me enough.
How about this for another idea?
Shut it down tomorrow.
Let's de-platform our own audience.
That would be very radical.
Yeah.
Or just stop all newcomers as of tomorrow.
All right, we'll have a meeting.
But I know it works because podcastindex.social is on a completely different Mastodon server, and people are communicating.
They'll slip in from noagenda.social because of the federation, and it really works incredibly well.
I just think that at a certain point, you've got to shut it down.
Anyway, well, I am considering this at 10,000, but maybe tomorrow.
Thank you for the idea.
Okay.
So that is NoAgendaSocial.com.
We handled that.
Now we want to thank the artist for episode 1315, appropriately titled The Food and Drunk Administration.
Thank you to our French clip that we had.
She was very cute, very funny about it.
And the art was done by another Dutch artist, I believe another lady, Lotte Lien.
And this was the, again, a find no agenda product, the anyways, better double up, 33 masks, if one's good, two is better, 100 days, and it was in the familiar feminine hygiene packaging of, what is the real brand?
That was spoofed on here.
I thought it was Depends.
No, anyways.
No, it's Flyaways or Breeze Away.
It's something light and lofty.
It was just good.
It was good.
It was very funny.
Yeah, well, that kind of thing, by the way, for artists out there who can do a package.
And do it like this one.
We've done a number of these over the years.
They're always appealing to us.
It's always.
Because it looks like somebody designed a package from scratch and it's got all the elements you want, some jokes in there, the 33, you know, and all the rest.
And it's always a winner.
It is.
When I first saw it...
Adam was, you know, indisposed.
I was looking at the art and I said, oh, this is one that we're going to pick.
You can just tell him immediately.
The original brand is always.
Maybe it is depends.
It kind of depends.
I don't know.
I don't know my hygiene products very well.
Well, just go through that aisle someday and then see what can make good show art.
But in general, anytime you can turn packaging of some kind of bodily function product, it's always good at no agenda, whether it's toilet paper...
Feminine hygiene products.
Or it depends.
Or mustard.
We use mustard.
We've had breakfast cereals.
Movie posters.
Yeah, there's a lot of good things.
All repurposed.
So thank you very much, Lotteline.
And if you're on noagendasocial.com, go ahead and congratulate her.
She's been walking around quite proud and maybe a little bit surprised.
And we'd love to see more.
Was there anything else we need to talk about, by the way?
Any other pieces?
Because it has gotten so good.
There's so many pieces that people submit.
Let me see if we had any highlights to mention.
A lot of eggsicles.
Thank you.
Yeah, the eggicles weren't going to make it.
It's a funny idea.
We saw it, you know.
It just wasn't going to cut it.
For one thing, it's just not...
On appearance alone, it's just not...
Not very appealing.
Not very appealing.
And, yeah.
I mean, you guys are doing good.
There is quite a lot of choice.
That's for sure.
And for those of you who haven't seen them, if you want to see some of these pieces of artwork, our very own producer, Dreb Scott, puts them into our community-created chapters.
And if you're using a Podcasting 2.0 app, you can see them along with a transcript, which you can search, newpodcastapps.com.
And as part of our value-for-value model where we accept any kind of support because we call you producers, we call you producers.
We expect it.
Time, talent, treasure.
And here are the executive producers and associate executive producers for 1316 who are taking us all the way financially.
Indeed.
We do have a few people to thank for today's show.
Starting with our buddy, our mysterious, the mystery man, Seronymous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia.
Whoa!
Dogpatch back!
It's his monthly support.
It's his monthly support and code.
Okay.
Today's code is $1,321.
$1,321.
Okay.
Are you keeping a running tab on those?
Well, I tried to see the patterns, yes.
Oh.
Before I forget, back to the vaccine thing.
Yeah.
This is a good example of why people should listen to this segment.
I'm making a prediction, a red book prediction.
I thought you weren't participating in that anymore.
I've broken my own rule.
Alright, hold on.
Somebody out there can write this.
I'll get called up because it's going to happen.
I've got the book.
I've got the book.
Here we go.
Hold on a second.
In about a year from today, it's going to be determined that you're going to need a third booster shot for the COVID vaccine.
Easy peasy.
Okay, if you think that's some huge predictor.
I'm just putting it, making sure it's on the mark.
I mean, we beat around the bush about some of these predictions, but I'm just going to put it down, straight up.
Okay.
Everyone's going to need a third booster.
By 2022, third booster COVID vaccine, recorded this day, January 28th, 2021, 1258.
You're in the book, sir.
Good to go.
It'll probably be around now.
Yeah.
In the book.
In the book.
Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Laura Silbovia writes, Thank you all.
Thanks.
Thank.
Thank you to all of the producers and their three Ts that make up the best podcast in the universe.
I can only provide the enclosed third T. We appreciate it.
What's the other two Ts?
Time, talent.
Okay.
In response to vaccine questions, my response has been, quote, my amygdala is too small.
And I sometimes add, quote, I can only take it in the buttocks.
How does that work?
So far, these comments have stopped all follow-up questions.
Good.
Family members are concerned that if the vaccine is ineffective or harmful, it will be blamed on the Muslims.
Really now?
Well, on the Muslim developers.
Apparently on its Muslim developers.
I guess there's some Muslims in the lab.
It is not uncommon.
And we will be back on the othering list.
To the many that asked why moderate Muslims were not outspoken over the corruption of their faith, Dash.
When a knife is at your neck, you are silent.
In the U.S., fear of a deplatforming, boycotting, or firing is having the same impact.
Terrorists that use physical violence and the ones using economic violence are the same.
The current controlling party, which makes our show interesting.
Yeah.
The current controlling party is more effective in eliminating opponents than their more capitalistic opponents.
This is today's McCarthyism.
And no agenda's VFV model, with its outstanding producer support, protects it from most tyranny.
Always assume that they will keep looking for ways to block freedoms.
as noted by the founding fathers, they don't list freedoms in a constitution.
You list the freedoms that can't be taken.
That's correct.
Whatever lifting of the Muslim ban means, this would Biden, nobody knows what that's about.
Traditional bureaucracy must prove progress to demonstrate effectiveness.
I expect efforts will be made to assure improved Muslim admittance.
Taking from the one-drop rule, we will have a one-prayer rule.
Perhaps everyone will be offered beacon for entry, and then those that refuse are counted as Muslim.
Bacon.
Not beacon.
Bacon.
Makes it funnier.
That's a joke.
I'm sorry, but I read it over.
Perhaps everyone will be offered bacon for entry, and those that refuse are counted as Muslim.
Since Jews might be caught in this count, improvement is assured.
So they won't come in either, all Muslim.
Coincidence perhaps, on the first day of the new administration, I was randomly selected by TSA for an additional check.
Some things never change.
Yeah.
Adam and John, avoid small aircraft and hot tubs in 2021.
Freedoms will be battered and they will find ways to reduce the noise.
No jingles, no karma.
Thank you very much, Deionimus of Dogpatch and Loris Lobovia.
Always with a coded message that rips through, cuts through everything like it should.
We never understand the numbers, but we love you for stumping us for years now.
And thank you for your courage.
Very much appreciated.
Eric Deacon's next on the list from Concord, Virginia.
And he came in with a thousand dollars.
Whoa.
In the morning, please dedouche me.
Thank you both for the much needed amygdala shrinkage.
I started listening in March after seeing Adam on JRE. Morgan Donation.
Your news deconstruction couldn't have come at a better time and has kept me sane during the pandemic.
Plandemic, he writes.
I hit my friends Mike and Brian in the mouth months ago.
Please call them out for being douchebags.
Douchebag!
One more, I guess, yeah.
Douchebag!
I'm honored to join the roundtable.
I'd like pen rips and Chick-fil-A nuggets at the roundtable.
I don't know what a pen rip is.
How can we order it if we don't know what it is or where to get it?
Well, I put it on the list.
I'll just see whatever shows up.
Please knight me Sir Eric the Grease Monkey, Knight of Sunset Ridge.
For jingles, may I have a Fauci wheeze followed by a Climategate jingle topped off with another Fauci wheeze.
Thank you for your courage.
Keep up the great work.
Oh, a pen rip.
It's a vape term.
I should have known.
It's a vape term, yes.
Does he need a top-off Fauci wheeze?
Oh, he wants two wheezes.
Okay, no problem.
Freeze!
To the gate, to the gate, to the climate gate!
Okay.
Tim, $560 from Parts Unknown, it looks like.
I'd like some TPP jobs karma for me at the end, please.
This donation is Adam's finder's fee from noagendaphone.com.
Oh, this is producer.
Best place to get someone to de-google your phone.
Been great talking with all the producers and answering their questions.
I have a supplier that says they will not neuter my ability to purchase in bulk.
So we're back in business!
The website now has a detailed how-to vetted by several producers that anyone with basic MS Windows skills can follow if you'd like to try it yourself.
I'm sure there's plenty of people that would love to try it themselves.
And then they can send you the busted phone.
But we are also happy to do it for you.
There are several producers on NA Social who have experience, so feel free to ask questions there, too.
This is a very good example of how the No Agenda show works, and for those who are new, it's fun to look at this.
So we have a producer who is very adept at de-googling a specific type of phone, which you can order or he will order, and he will put on Graphene OS.
And this is an OTG OS to some degree, but you certainly have a lot more control over what's happening.
I'm using it.
I'm very enamored with it.
I like the ability to stop a lot of tracking.
So he just decided after hooking me up that he would set up noagendaphone.com and offer this as a service.
And he's charging some small fee for it.
I know that he has a real job.
And he's swamped.
Not over swamped.
He's swamped.
He's got a lot of people.
And so he's giving us a piece of the action.
$560, which is super nice.
Didn't have to do that.
But I love this.
I love that.
And we're not saying, we have no contract.
We're not saying, oh, you can't use our show name.
You have to talk to the lawyers.
Don't do any of that shit.
No.
It's time, talent, and treasure.
And you're bringing it all.
Thank you, Tim.
You've got karma.
Love that.
I love that.
Just like noagendashop.com.
Now, the same idea.
Yes.
I'm going to just put something out there, which I think is...
No Agenda Shop has sent me a note about how they send us money.
And they're thinking, what, about 1090?
Do we get a 1099 or whatever?
No.
If you're at one of these shops, like, I say Lavender Blossoms, I would say the phone, our phone guy, Tim, and know you're in the shop, we do plug you by, we plug you on the show, and we give your address, your name, you send a note in that we read.
I think you can just count us, the donations to us, technically as advertising.
Why not?
It is advertising.
I mean, we don't take advertisers per se, but this is a form of advanced advertising.
You're just telling them how to account for it if they're a business that is doing business which is non-business with the No Agenda show.
We don't really want to do any business with you.
That's the basic.
We don't want any paperwork between us and you.
Isn't that what you're saying?
Kind of, yeah.
But I think technically it is advertising.
So, oh, you guys have advertising.
Okay, okay.
Hey.
Cor Verward in Vuldenburg.
Okay, hold on a second.
I need to help you a little bit on this one.
I think so.
Yeah.
But I don't have a note from him.
It is Cor...
$333.
There's no note to be found.
Kor Verwurt.
Verwurt.
Verwurt in Waudenberg.
Waudenberg.
Beautiful.
Thank you, Kor.
I did not see a note, neither did John, but you got the magic number, so we appreciate it.
333.
333.333.00.
Onward with the associate execs.
Brad Fisher at the top of the list from Hot Springs, South Dakota.
250.
I don't know why that's funny.
I've enjoyed the show the past few months thanks to Joe Rogan and Queen Jordan the Roper.
Who's Queen Jordan the Roper?
I do not know who Queen Jordan the Roper is.
Thank you both for all the truth you share.
You may dedouche me.
You've been dedouched.
He says he'd be happy to be a silent donor so John C. doesn't have to read this.
If you ever come to the Black Hills, which I've been to, this is a nice area, I will happily buy you a beverage and raise a glass to freedom.
Semper Fi.
He's obviously a Marine.
God bless.
God bless you, ma'am.
Of course.
You know, John, I would like to discuss at some point maybe a little break off since we've been going 52 weeks nonstop.
Woo!
Let's go for 53 weeks.
Sure, I can do another 54, 55, but we should just pick a date when we can...
I need two shows off.
I need a Sunday and a Thursday off.
Okay.
Okay?
Cool.
Thanks, Dad.
Done.
Just so easy.
You're a pushover.
Sir Crush-A-Lot's next on the list.
The Black Knight of the Leelanau Grapefields in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
Yes, I believe so.
They grow grapes everywhere.
Some places they actually make decent wine.
236-63.
Before you continue, thank you to Amy and Chris from the Verite Winery.
What is it?
The guys you visited.
They sent me two of their 2013.
Is that what you guys were drinking up there?
We were drinking a lot of stuff.
Oh my goodness.
So sweet.
So nice that they sent that.
Don't drink it without your wife.
No, I'm not allowed to drink it without my wife, says right here.
Don't drink it without your wife.
Okay.
Where's your wife?
She's here.
I'm just not allowed to drink it without it.
Yeah, this isn't tonight.
Both 100-point wines.
Tonight's the night.
Tonight's when it's going down, baby.
Almost all their wines are 100-point wines.
Anyway, so yes, thank you very much.
It was very, very easy to send that to us.
Very nice.
Yo, dudes.
Sir Crush-A-Lot.
Black Knight of the Leafenow Grapefields.
Reporting on the eve of his 65th birthday, January 29th.
Opting for brevity.
He's on the birthday list.
He's on.
Opting for brevity at the expense of courtesy.
I submit the following agenda.
One.
Shout out to my salaciously slutty girlfriend.
No, no.
Sultry.
Sultry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I read it wrong.
Shout out to my salaciously sultry girlfriend.
You're like Chuck Schumer.
I was thinking as I said it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Geez, I don't know.
They must have a funny relationship.
You're like Chuck Schumer with his insurrection.
Mm-hmm.
Insert erection.
Dame Chardonnay of the Leelanau-Greyfields.
Okay.
Point two.
Ward Gettweiler.
I'm sorry.
From now on, you know that she will always be known as the slutty one.
Salaciously.
Salaciously slutty, yeah.
It's not just slight.
No, no, no.
She's salaciously slutty.
Salaciously.
Damn.
Mm-hmm.
We'll see how her sense of humor holds up.
Yeah.
Number two.
Ward Detweiler.
Douchebag.
Douchebag.
Three, advice to M5M commentators, instead of mouth-twisting far-right domestic terrorist extremists, save time with far-right, far-white extremists.
Yeah, very cute.
That sounds good.
And four, is last on his list, is a contribution amounts to a quarter to one quarter cent for each word in my novel.
94,000 word novel, 652.
I should finish first draft within a week.
Wow.
Oh, he's got a number five, no jingles, no karma, cheerio.
Very nice.
Thank you so much, Sir Crush-A-Lot.
Looking forward to your novel.
Excellent.
Thank you.
Lyle Pote, P-O-T-E, in Concord, North Carolina, 23333.
My buddy Zach hit me in the mouth in June, and I've been listening ever since.
This is my first but not last donation to the best podcast in the universe.
Please de-douche me.
You've been de-douched.
And call out Zach...
And call out Zach Brisket as brisket.
Zach Brissette or Brisset as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
If the following items and or people in no particular order, this is what he'd like to hear.
Douchebagging as well?
Oh, F. Yeah.
F, I'm sorry.
F the following items and people.
The COVID scam?
The Great Reset?
Biden and every other freedom-stealing a-hole?
Meanwhile, keep up the great work.
Can I get a jingle?
Don't eat me, Bo Jiden, and no karma.
Oh, and F cancer for my mom with terminal brain cancer.
Ooh, sorry.
So just an F cancer, not even an F cancer karma.
Just an F cancer.
That's interesting.
Uh, okay.
And I'm going to spice it up with a new Bo Jiden jingle for you.
Don't eat me, Bo Jiden.
You're scary.
So scary.
And now, back to the wacky adventures of Bo Jiden.
And the incredible spreadable legs.
We have some sick producers.
Very sick.
And the F cancer.
F-Fucking cancer! F-Fucking cancer! F-Fucking cancer! F-Fucking cancer!
Sergeant Postal Manuel Obando in Miami Lakes.
$200.33.
And this is a short segment today, only nine.
Yeah.
And he'll be our final.
So maybe we can pick it up on Sunday.
Thank you for doing a great show.
No agenda is very important as a night.
Can you put my birthday on the list?
March 15th.
It's on there.
But the real reason I wrote was to let you know something I haven't heard talked about.
My cousin is a medical student at UM Miami, University of Miami, a very good school.
She got the COVID vaccine.
Her teachers told her the vaccine is only good for three months.
I asked my friend, who is a nurse, and she agrees.
That is probably only good for three to six months.
Well, this has been discussed.
Yeah.
On and off.
Well, this is where your booster, your third booster comes in.
Yeah.
Continue the great work manual.
Of your incredibly visionary statement.
Oh boy, I think there'll be a third one within a year.
I mean, you are clairvoyant.
Clairvoyant, I tell you.
I'm getting on the sheet.
Because I don't want to say, oh yeah, you hinted it, but you never said it.
Okay.
Because I just got through this betting ordeal with the two Lib Joes.
Yeah, I'm sorry that I'm in that same league somehow.
It wasn't about you.
Okay.
Well, that's good.
And it's not always about you.
You sure?
So the bet went, so I took the bet, he gives me this bet that Trump will be impeached and found guilty.
Okay, I'll take that bet.
Two to one, sure, it doesn't matter.
Right.
And I said, well, you know, if you, in the back and forth, you know, if you were so confident, you know, you wouldn't even take the bet for Trump.
You wouldn't bet for Trump.
You wouldn't, you know, you don't even have any confidence in your own guy.
That's not my guy.
Your own guy.
Oh, man.
So I, so I, so I, I use for my text messaging, I use Google Voice.
Why?
And Google, well, this is one of the reasons.
Well, one of the reasons is because I can type these messages with a keyboard instead of my two thumbs getting...
It takes forever, stupid.
So, one of the reasons is I can go back in my archives.
So, I can go back months, years.
It doesn't make any difference as long as you don't erase them.
But even then, you can archive them.
So, I go back to October, I think it was October 18th, where I offered the two of these guys a bet.
I said, I feel like losing money.
I'm going to bet.
I'll take the Trump for president, bet.
You guys can have Biden $100 each.
Right.
So I cut and pasted it.
I clipped that.
I took a screenshot and sent it to him.
He said, I did make this offer and you two chicken shits wouldn't take the bet.
And now you're betting that he's going to be impeached.
I mean, you can't win a bet.
You should not bet.
You should stop betting.
If you can never win a bet, don't bet.
Really?
I tell people this all the time.
And I'll tell them this.
Don't bet with me because I rarely lose bets.
And why is that?
Ask me why I rarely lose bets.
Hey, John, I've been wondering, why do you rarely lose bets?
I can see why you're in SAG. SAG-AFTRA. It's because I only bet on a sure thing.
Let's see what else we have in the red book then, shall we?
It's all me, by the way.
Oh, JCD, August 30th.
Uh, what does this say?
No...
Wow, if I could only read it, I have the same problem you have.
Wow, that's something...
Oh, no, no, no, no debates.
You said no debates.
I said, what about no debates?
You said there will be no debates between Biden and Trump.
Well, what do you think?
Then I was wrong.
No, yes, because they had two debates, so you were wrong.
I was wrong, yeah.
Yeah, there you go.
They did try to cancel, but I was wrong.
I'm surprised I made that prediction.
And Ticketmaster will require a passport November 12th, ACD yes, JCD no.
Yeah, that's in play.
Hmm.
And if they do it once, it doesn't count.
They have to make it a policy.
Yes.
Oh, I see.
I was wrong here.
I had two inaugurations, so that's done.
Oh, yeah, you and your two.
Well, you all, yeah.
Yeah, that was wrong.
I can see where you got that.
Yeah, well, we all know where I got it.
Okay.
Yeah, you got it from Obama.
Actually, literally did to it.
Yeah.
It's not who we are!
Hey, thank you all very much to our...
Our executive producers and associate executive producers, you are now officially part of the Super Spreader Task Force.
Go to superspreadertaskforce.com.
Thank you.
Ever registered that?
We appreciate those kinds of actions.
It's great.
Hey, want to learn something?
Go to superspreadertaskforce.com, which takes you right to no agenda show, of course.
You have real credits for this one, execs and associate execs.
That's how it works.
You get 200 above, then you're associate executive 300 above.
You are an executive producer in this case of episode 1316.
Could not be happier that you showed up for us.
Love your notes.
Love the love.
And love hitting everybody in the mouth.
And thank you for keeping us going.
And consider us for your Sunday.
If you'd like to pick up one of these titles, go to...
And again, thank you for all your time, talent, and treasure.
Fundamental to the value for value model.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water.
Water.
Shut up, flame.
Shut up, flame.
So Davos started.
Which normally would be done on the slopes of Davos.
Davos?
Yeah, so all the rich...
Elites can go skiing.
Well, that's not how they describe it.
Here's a quickie from Jillian Tett.
She is, I think she's the editor of the Financial Times.
And this is how she feels about not being in Davos.
I'm sad not to be in the mountains.
Normally I'd be slithering around on the snow right now in Davos.
Yes, because that's the kind of job you have, biatch.
Ugh.
Slithering in the snow.
She got the right term.
She got the right word there.
For Davos, yeah, the Davos set definitely all slithers.
Davos folks slithering.
Snakes, they are.
Slithering.
Now, that was from day two.
On day one, and they have a podcast, which is Radio Davos.
Day one, Radio Davos.
Radio Davos, the great reception.
Radio Davos.
Lock the knob off.
And Klaus Schwab.
Introduces the entire week and gets us rolling with, well, what really the theme of it's all about.
We must reinvigorate global economic growth and make it more robust, more resilient, more inclusive and more sustainable.
And at the same time, we must accelerate the transition to a net zero economy.
Yes, that's right.
This is the whole theme.
It's our own fault.
We didn't take care of nature, so nature gave us the coronavirus, and now we better watch out, because did we not learn, and we will all die from climate change.
That is the message, and the number one speaker, first one up on the stage, who do you think it is?
Who's the first one to talk at Davos?
Let me think.
Of course, Mr.
China.
Yes, Xi Jinping with his transcriber later.
The first is to step up macroeconomic policy coordination and jointly promote strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of the world economy.
Oh, he's got the inclusive, he's got the equity, he's got the climate change.
We are going to have a good time!
No two leaves in the world are identical, and no histories, cultures, or social systems are the same.
The different histories, cultures, and social systems are as old as human societies, and they are the inherent features of human civilization.
There will be no human civilization without diversity, and such diversity will continue to exist for as long as we can imagine.
Difference in itself is no cause for alarm.
What does ring the alarm is arrogance, prejudice, and hatred.
We should stay committed to international law and international rules instead of seeking one's own supremacy.
Ancient Chinese believed that the law is the very foundation of governance.
International governance should be based on the rules and consensus reached among us, not on the order given by one or the few.
The Charter of the United Nations is the basic and universally recognized norms governing state-to-state relations.
Without international law and international rules that are formed and recognized by the global community, the world may fall back to the law of the jungle.
We need to be resilient in championing the international rule of law and steadfast in our resolve To safeguard the international system centered around the UN and the international order based on international law.
We need to deliver on the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and promote green development.
We need to give continued priority to development, implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and make sure that all countries, especially developing ones, share in the fruits of global development.
So you won't hear this clip anywhere else because it's incredibly boring and tedious to listen to.
I'm glad we have it on record.
What is going on?
Diversity, equity, equality, we are the world, kumbaya, everybody work together.
Don't be egomaniacs.
Don't be like that, Trump.
And let's get the Sustainable Agenda 2030 goals up and running and into the Paris Climate Agreement, and this should really help these struggling countries, which China counts themselves as one.
You see, this is why he said it.
He said, we're a third world country, we're still developing, so we need a break.
And that's pretty much it.
The Great Reset will be exactly what Joe Biden's doing, firing everybody from their traditional energy jobs.
He's not firing them personally, but he's taking away licenses, shutting things down.
And then, you know, don't worry, because we're going to give you some green stuff, some green jobs.
Kerry was saying...
Mike Carey, the watermelon head who's in charge of this, he was telling us that the green jobs, I'm looking for this now, the green jobs are the fastest growing sector, doubling, doubling any other sector.
One of our producers went in and looked at this, and it's true.
They doubled from 4,000 to 8,000 jobs.
Which is quite hilarious.
Woo!
They're rocking it.
Day two, we bring in some people who we could understand.
And by the way, Xi Jinping may be saying, USA are a bag of dicks.
I don't know if that's the right translation.
The whole world may be laughing at us, if not for the English translation, for what he really said.
Now here's Kenneth Rogoff, economist, former Council of Foreign Relations, IMF, Board of Governors.
There you go.
Economists have long favored a global carbon tax.
I mean, you can have other things like cap and trade, like Europe has there.
I don't think that's good, but something.
Not again.
We need something like that to create the incentives, to create innovation, to create, have people conserve.
One thing to bear in mind is it's not enough for the United States and Europe to stop polluting as much to get to zero net carbon.
If your house is on fire, it's not enough to put the fire out in just a couple rooms.
You have to put it out everywhere.
I've proposed the idea of a World Carbon Bank To help give technological expertise, to help transfer funds, to do something for the countries which right now have coal plants, and they have coal, but not a lot else.
He's talking about China, just so you know.
We need to do something for those poor countries that have coal plants.
China.
That's the idea here.
So...
We need to convert green jobs.
And you're not going to be manufacturing solar panels.
You're going to be selling them door-to-door.
That's your green job right there.
You know why that's funny to me?
Go.
Because there was a door-to-door solar panel salesman here last week.
I only jest 50% of the time.
And Fauci had to make an appearance, of course.
And now, you said a third booster?
Yes.
Okay.
I think you're on the right track, but you're not using the right term.
Is this a traditional vaccine?
Is this a vaccine with an attenuated virus and some adjuvants and hamburger helper that...
Of course not.
Okay, what is it?
It's a technology.
It is a technology.
It's chemotherapy, technically, but yes.
Yes, it's technology, and it's RNA, DNA technology, and it's doing something to you with technology.
You need an upgrade.
The vaccines that we're using now will be good against both the mutant in South Africa as well as in the UK.
Having said that, this is an evolving situation.
So what we need to do and are doing are already looking at making upgraded versions of the vaccine that could address both the South African mutant as well as the one in the UK.
So even though right now the vaccines seem to be able to work against them, we need to be prepared to upgrade and maybe even as a boost later on or as a bivalent vaccine that goes against both the wild type and the evolving mutants.
Thank you.
He's going to upgrade you.
This is your OS upgrade.
I don't like the word bivalent.
No, what does that mean?
Well, it's kind of like the...
You need two things to make it work.
Oh, you mean like a...
What's that term where you get a shot and then you get the second one kills you?
Binary.
Binary poison, you know, bivalence.
It seems like that to me.
Well, hello.
Hello.
Binary.
Binary, yes.
Bivalent.
Take a look at the word bivalent.
Bivalent.
Well, we should, you know how we do these things over here at the No Agenda Show, and we are unsure of what's going to happen.
All we do is...
Consult us!
And bivalent, it says, um, another term for divalent.
Nice.
A pair of homogamous chromosomes, now, uh, biology of homogamous chromosomes, associated pairs.
Bivalent.
A bivalent is one pair of chromosomes in a tetrad.
A tetrad is the association of, it's bullcrap.
Of homogamous chromosomes physically held together.
He already said it.
It's an upgrade.
You're getting an upgrade.
Shut up and take your upgrade.
Don't forget, wait until 3.1.
And just click OK. Just click OK on your terms of service.
It's OK. It'll be in the app for your vaccine.
Just get the upgrade.
Shut up.
Don't wrap.
You have to license the vaccine.
You're using a licensed vaccine.
You do.
It is true.
And they give you a shot to take it away.
You know, I would like to...
I need to know now, are some of these vaccines...
Because you have to sign some paperwork...
Is that like a EULA? Is it an end-user licensing agreement?
We hereby license this vaccine to be in your body.
And it's one seat only.
Yeah, I mean, that's the model.
And then, oh, oh, oh, well, you need to upgrade because, you know, we're going to stop supporting your version pretty soon.
Why does he use the term upgrade if he doesn't mean it?
You already made the point in the beginning of the show that he's a pathological liar who's full of shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He is.
He's also the highest paid government employee.
Did you know that?
Yeah, I did know that.
Or he's in the highest group.
I think he's not the only one making $480,000.
There are a few others, I think.
Just about China real quickly.
I'm sad to hear this.
This is boots on the ground from Iran.
This is Hans.
I met his wife and him in Delray last year.
And he said that, and she's Iranian, and she just got off the phone with her mom in Tehran, and she mentioned the worsening air pollution.
From her parents' home in Tehran, they can normally see downtown.
Now they can't.
And the blame is going to the Chinese, and I looked this up, and there's a number of stories about it.
The Chinese moved into, let's see, this is a particular town near Tehran, with their Bitcoin mining operation.
And the Iranians went, yeah, cool, just don't worry about them.
Shut it off for those slaves.
So they've had numerous power outages, people are complaining, and then finally, and there's like some 25-year agreement they have to use Iranian power.
At the expense of Iranians.
And then finally the Tehran Power Company said, now we've got to cut back a little bit.
But instead of cutting back, they just fired up these really old smoky diesel generators to be able to provide it.
And that has now blanketed all of Tehran in thick smog smoke.
Thank you, Bitcoin!
Oh, by the way, in Iran they don't say Bitcoin, they call it Bitqueen.
Because that's a mispronunciation, it's stuck.
I like it, by the way.
Bitcoin.
Huh.
Instead of Bitcoin.
Very strange.
Yeah.
Well, good for the Chinese.
Hey, if it were up to me, what are Americans, really?
We're farmers and miners, are we not?
Is that not our original kind of thing?
Pioneers, yes.
But we're farmers and We're miners.
We're big time farmers.
We're massive farmers.
We institutionalized farmers.
We corporatized farming.
We're farmers.
We are farmers.
We do a lot of money.
A lot of the money from this country came from the miners in the 49er area.
And then the entrepreneurs.
And wait, wait.
And miners.
Coal.
Coal, yes.
We still have 350 years of full power's worth of coal in the ground if we decide to take it out and actually use it.
And from the farmers and the miners, we're very entrepreneurial.
We came up with the assembly line, the industrial age.
Actually, the assembly line, I believe, was stolen.
Well, okay.
So?
So we stole the idea.
We popularized it.
We stole the idea.
That's another thing we're good at.
Popularizing.
Stealing ideas.
And popularizing.
Yeah.
You know, Charles Dickens actually had to come to the United States, you know, when people think about, you know, bootleg movies and all the rest of it.
Charles Dickens actually had to come to the United States and track down the people printing his books and bring, you know, constables with him to get them to stop.
We were just ripping him off.
We were printing Dickens novels and not paying him a nickel.
It's one of the other things that we don't like to admit to, but we're a bunch of pirates.
And then we bitch about the Chinese.
That's the irony.
That's why the Chinese are always so irked with us.
Going back to our roots of farming and mining, I propose, and maybe only for the state of Texas, that we should completely encourage the mining of Bitcoin and the farming of hemp.
Think of all we could do in the world.
I like Miami's becoming a Bitcoin city.
Have you followed this?
No.
News to me.
Yes, you'll be able to pay many of your city services in Bitcoin, parking, these types of things.
The government's going to have to put a stop to this.
And they will keep that money in Bitcoin.
Very young mayor.
He's one of the young ones.
And he's like, hey, we're embracing Bitcoin.
Come on down.
We're going to be super friendly.
We got no state income tax.
And we're going to keep some of the money that you pay us.
And you do it in Bitcoin, in our coffers, in our treasury, as Bitcoin.
I think that's pretty progressive, to use the term.
It's pretty speculative.
I don't know, is it?
That's the Christine Lagarde it is.
Oh no, it's an exit ramp from their tyranny.
That's what she called it.
We know what she said.
We can't have them with an exit ramp.
Exit ramp.
Okay.
I got an impeachment update for Democracy Now.
Bring it.
Let's hear it.
What do we have?
There we go.
Back in Washington, D.C., all but five Senate Republicans backed an effort to dismiss Donald Trump's impeachment trial Tuesday, voting in favor of an objection raised by Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who argued the trial's unconstitutional since the goal of impeachment is to remove someone from office, he claimed.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell also backed Rand Paul's move.
Claimed?
Despite accusing Trump on the Senate floor of provoking the insurrection.
Although the trial will still go ahead, Tuesday's vote can indicate it will end in Trump's acquittal.
Meanwhile, Senate President Pro Tem Patrick Leahy, the Vermont Democrat, was briefly hospitalized after feeling unwell Tuesday, hours after he was sworn in to preside over Trump's impeachment trial.
You know, I have the National Terror Advisory System alert, if you're interested, the bulletin.
I get these bulletins, and this will be enforced until April 30th, 2021.
We have a number of people who are in the system, so they forward this to me.
Throughout 2020, domestic violent extremists, we called it, told you it would be DVEs, Targeted individuals with opposing views engaged in First Amendment-protected nonviolent protest activity, DVEs motivated by a range of issues including anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, and police use of force have plotted on occasion carried out attacks against government facilities.
Wow, that just described everybody.
Longstanding racial and ethnic tension including opposition to immigration has driven DVE attacks.
Oh, including a 2019 shooting in El Paso, Texas that killed 23 people.
Is this a Department of Homeland Security bulletin or is it a press release?
What the fuck?
Excuse me.
That's very annoying.
I just read this.
They're doing it like this bulletin is a press release disguised as some information.
DHS is concerned these same drivers to violence will remain through early 2021 and some DVEs may be emboldened by the January 26, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. to target officials and government facilities.
DHS remains concerned that homegrown violent extremists inspired by foreign terrorist groups who committed three attacks targeting government officials in 2020 remain a threat.
Threats of violence against criminal infrastructure, including the electric telecommunications and healthcare sectors, increased in 2020 with violent extremists citing misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 for their actions.
So, some guy got arrested, and the story goes like this.
He was arrested for posting a meme!
So, get your head out of your ass.
Now, arrested doesn't mean that you're necessarily in the brink and done and they throw the key away, but he had indeed been posting memes that said, vote for Hillary, text your vote to 59324 or whatever, and then your vote counts.
Well, yeah, you're going to get in trouble for that because that is actually voter suppression.
Would you agree with me, John, or not?
It's voter suppression if the person being suppressed is a complete idiot.
Correct.
Apparently, and I did it this time, 5,000 people did it.
That's 5,000 people who may have been idiots, but that doesn't give you the right to do that.
Now, does he need to be thrown in jail for the rest of his life?
No.
But I can see, you know, you've got to be careful what you say.
There are consequences for your memes.
But this is not just a meme.
He defrauded people.
I don't know where the money went.
You text that kind of number, either it went nowhere or went to somebody who wasn't intended.
You should get a spanking.
But not this freedom of speech.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not going to take that.
Let me see.
Onward?
Yeah, there was nothing else here.
I have some Biden clips.
Okay.
Let's play this to be international.
We've been doing a little international.
Let's get this Democracy Now!
clip, by the way.
This is the Mexico report usage.
And this is this may have the loved ones in it.
Mexican authorities have launched an investigation after 19 bodies were found shot and burned over the weekend in a town near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Relatives of asylum seekers from Guatemala say they believe 13 of the dead could be their loved ones and includes teenagers who are trying to reach the United States.
Yeah.
And those are some of the headlines, especially.
This is Democracy Now!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report.
Okay, so does that fit with the way we described it?
Not really, I don't think.
I stretched a bit out as long as I could.
Yeah, but I don't think it really handles it.
Let me just, what did they do here?
And Mexican authorities have launched an investigation after 19 bodies were found shot and burned over the weekend in a town near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Relatives of asylum seekers from Guatemala say they believe 13 of the dead could be their loved ones and include...
Okay, yeah, that's kind of weird.
The idea would be that these were illegals trying to break into our country, called asylum seekers, and so they're really doing something bad, but then therefore their loved ones.
I don't know.
I don't think Amy's been clued in at all how to use this.
She should be fired.
We only play...
He produces the show.
Alright.
There you go.
So I got some Biden stuff.
I want to play some Biden clips.
Your new president, ladies and gentlemen.
Some clippage.
First of all, let's get through.
This is actually not Biden necessarily.
This is a France 24 report on climate and the climate survey.
Have you heard about the climate survey?
No.
If I have, I haven't read it.
This starts off with a Biden clip.
I'm very excited.
It says it's under Biden.
So it's under Biden on climate one.
And this just begins it.
Joe Biden has been eager to show that his White House will be green.
The new US president has signed a stack of executive orders on climate change, including measures to pause new oil and gas leases on public land, and to direct federal agencies to stamp out fossil fuel subsidies.
Let's listen now to what Mr Biden has had to say.
In my view, we've already waited too long to deal with this climate crisis.
We can't wait any longer.
We see it with our own eyes.
We feel it.
We know it in our bones.
And it's time to act.
And I might note, parenthetically, if you notice, the attitude of the American people toward greater impetus on focusing on climate change and doing something about it has increased across the board.
Democrat, Republican, Independent.
That's why I'm signing today an executive order to supercharge our administration's ambitious plan to confront the existential threat of climate change.
It is an existential threat.
I'm going to supercharge it right when the sun comes out and the wind blows.
I've got to wait for it to supercharge.
Listen to the end where he says, he pronounces it existential.
No, he's lost his marbles.
He can't do it.
That's why I'm signing today an executive order to supercharge our administration's ambitious plan to confront the existential threat of climate change.
It is an existential threat.
An existential threat.
He is the embodiment of fossil fuel.
Wow.
I'm on a roll.
That's a good one.
I like it.
Okay, well let's go to part two and we get to hear about the survey.
Now a new survey conducted by the United Nations and Oxford University has found that concern about our planet is far more widespread than previously known.
And the majority of respondents want urgent action.
Valérie de Kemp reports.
The people have spoken, sharing their views in the largest poll on climate change ever conducted.
The findings are far from surprising.
There's all these ways that people are starting to think about the climate crisis because they're really living it.
64% of people in the world think climate change is an emergency and, more importantly, they really want to do something about it.
According to the survey organized by the UN and Oxford University, citizens in the UK and Italy showed the highest level of concern.
Moldova came last.
But there is one group that fervently supports climate action.
The survey used pop-ups on video games to reach out to teenagers who are normally left out of similar polls.
70% of under 18 said climate change is an emergency.
That figure drops to 58% among people over 60.
Overall, more than 1.2 million people from 50 countries took part in the survey.
It really brings the voice of the people to this moment where world leaders are making big decisions about our collective future.
And this is what's so important about this poll, is It went a step further than traditional polls in that it asked people, how do you want to get ourselves out of this mess?
This is interesting.
And I want to see it.
I want to see this survey.
Well, I want to mention a couple things.
Yeah, please.
They've said that it's better than ever because they brought a bunch of 16-year-olds to vote on what they think.
All hell's breaking loose because that's what they've been told in school.
Yes, yes.
And so now it's more important that...
So what you do, you brainwash a bunch of kids and they say, oh, my God, we're all going to die.
And then they say, well, and then people over 60, only 51%, it probably drops off.
Anyone with any life experience who's actually gone outside and looked around for a few minutes or looked at the mudflats over here, for example.
No, oh, this is bullcrap.
But now you just...
All you do is just keep...
Putting more people...
Put eighth graders into the polls and they'll do the same thing.
And now the public has spoken.
This whole thing is...
It's sinister.
Well, two things.
One...
It was an opt-in poll and they popped up pop-ups on video games.
So, yeah, that's your really pre-qualified audience.
Fine.
The statement was 64% of people think they're experiencing climate change.
Yes.
Think.
The word is think.
That's the word used in the report.
Think.
And then finally, it dawned on me, if the Curry Dvorak Consulting Group was advising this merry band, I would say the strategy would be something like this.
If you want to weaponize the children, and Greta is falling down.
Greta was on, you notice I didn't even clip Greta, she was on the Davos show.
Day one as well.
And she sounds like a 20-year-old young woman.
She's lost it.
She's lost her appeal.
Her diction is now so perfect.
Her vocabulary is beyond anything I would write for myself.
She's jumped the shark.
She's done.
She's toast.
She's history.
But if you want to get the young people, you do the following.
Like that new girl who's actually sisters.
You need them to say the following.
We shut down the world for you, for the older people.
We're wearing masks for you, for the older people, 60 and up, 60, 70, 80.
We did that for you, to protect you, to protect your world, your economy.
Now it's our turn.
And we are now in danger, so now you owe us.
This is how I'd play it.
And we'd have climate, we'd have shutdowns, stay at home, free money.
You know, there are 50 representatives in the United States now in the House of Representatives who want regular checks every month.
UBI. This is coming!
And the kids want it.
It is coming.
There's no doubt about it.
The kids want it.
That's why Andrew Yang will become the next mayor of New York.
The only people left are the ones who are too poor to move.
Or connected somehow.
Or young people.
A lot of young people.
And they'll be like, yeah, Yang.
Give me that $1,500, $2,000 a month.
I live in New York.
Crap, Tina, and I'll move to New York.
Give us the free money.
Free money.
Free money.
Alright, well there's a third part of this clip which has got a little zinger, I think.
That's why I left it in there.
Preserving forests and ramping up the use of renewables were among the most popular policies put forward by respondents to tackle the climate crisis.
But when it comes to individual actions, only 30% of people said switching to a plant-based diet was the answer.
Bugs!
Now, the way this was presented by F24 was, if you listen, it was just the tone.
Only, they could have gone the other way with it and said as many as, but only, meaning that they're idiots.
Only 30% wanted to switch to a plant-based diet when it should be everyone.
So it was like scolding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got that.
I got that.
Okay.
So the whole thing, Oxford and UN, they want us to eat bugs.
You're right.
Eat bugs or plants, just peas.
Not just bugs, but it gets worse.
You know, we have been on the mac and cheese tip for a long time.
And now they've come out with a Valentine's pink?
Yes.
And flavored and candy-flavored mac and cheese?
Yeah.
When are they just going to get right down to it and just make mac and cheese with bugs?
How about just forget the mac?
Just go straight for bug and cheese.
You get cheap bugs melted with cheap cheddar.
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
I feel a product meeting.
Cockroach and cheese.
Cock and cheese.
Yeah, okay, John.
Let's see that.
Mommy, I want some cock and cheese!
No, that's not going to work.
Meal, let's see, macaroni.
What sounds like...
Like macaroni.
Mac?
Mac?
Mac and cheese?
Mac and cheese?
Mealworms?
Mac and bug?
Mac and cock?
Mac and cockroach?
Mac and...
I don't know.
I don't know, but yeah, we definitely have to work on it.
Mac and mealworms.
There you go.
I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda.
In the And we do have a few people to thank for show 1316, which we've got a lot of notes from people saying, hey, you know, I didn't get in on...
So I'm sending this note in for show 1315.
The note came in yesterday.
People, keep up with these show numbers.
It's 1316.
Next show is 1317.
It starts off with Bruce Hall, cirrhosis, the first in Encino, California, 131.
He actually sent a note, and let's see if there's anything that's important.
Go ahead.
It's always something important.
If you go through the trouble of writing a note...
Oh, don't say that.
I've said it before.
You have to sit down and actually write.
No, I'm not going to do it.
So this comes from my business account.
I'm a knight using this email address, and he's got the address.
I believe I am the first cirrhosis knighted somewhere in the 800s anyway.
Just anyway.
It's unusual.
No need to read this on the...
Oh, okay.
Well, then I won't.
But thank you, cirrhosis.
Onward, Courtney Chase from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 12821.
Oh, another note came from Courtney.
Where is Courtney's note?
What are you doing reading these notes?
You're breaking down, man.
There's an important note in here somewhere.
You just don't know which one it is.
Okay, we'll wait until you bump across it.
That's fine.
Okay, John.
Anyway, she came in with 128-21.
She has a lengthy note.
Oh, it's her birthday.
She's got a birthday.
What?
Why is she not on the list, then?
Because no one ever...
Because this note wasn't one of the printed notes.
It came in as an email.
Is this John Lipp?
It says John Lipp.
No.
No, I'm sorry.
Courtney Chase.
Okay.
All right.
Hold on.
I'm going to the birthday list.
No problem.
All right.
Yes.
All right.
And what's her birthday?
Courtney Chase, here it is.
I got her note here on the email.
It's in honor of her smoking hot husband, Ryan.
Okay.
As he hits the big 40, Ryan is the absolute best partner.
Lately, three-year-old daughter became randomly yelling, China, asshole.
And our five-year-old cannot get enough of the pasta glock.
Ha, ha, ha.
No agenda.
Corrupting your children in real time.
Alright, I got it.
He turns 40.
On the list.
Good.
Move on.
Here we go.
Okay.
We had a bunch of requests and stuff, but she doesn't realize that she's obviously a Rogan.

Has The Adorable not learned this wonderful phrase yet from you?
We've been working him to get him to say stuff, to get it recorded, and we put it on the show.
But so far, it's eh.
You know, it's a little, it's two, three.
It could use a little more enunciation.
I keep yelling at him.
John, that's not good enough.
Show him the anal swab.

A discussion about inauguration versus inauguration reminded me of the old W's pronunciation of nuclear nuclear nuclear nuclear nuclear It always bothered me because he never even tried to correct it.
Maybe Bush thought it made him sound folksy, but in reality, he sounded like a dunce.
Yes, thank you very much, Sir Mile High Mark.

No Agenda Meetups!
It's like a party!
Indeed!
It is like a big-ass party.
We had a couple of meetups take place.
One note from, let's see, this was the Flight 011 of the No Agenda Meetup Report in Anaheim.
Short report here.
It rained all day Friday and Saturday.
I was fearing I would have to cancel the protest, as we call them, and the gathering of signatures.
Oh, this is the recall.
This is the news.
That was the real protest and recall.
I checked the venue in the morning.
It's raining hard, but I told that if it stopped raining, they would open the patio for outside dining at 3 p.m.
It definitely looked like no more rain.
It was 4 p.m.
I was sitting at a table with Robert, another Noah General listener.
It was frigid, cold, about 55 degrees, but well worth it.
Meeting new people and getting to know their thoughts and outlooks is inspiring and somehow is a calming effect, especially when you know you're not the only one thinking a certain way.
More listeners showed up in due time and we hung around together enjoying beer and pizza until well past 8 o'clock on a school night.
I got signatures from folks in four different counties, LA, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino.
Screw Newsome!
And that is the meetup report.
Clearly politically tinted.
Not all of them are.
Alright, in the morning, Adam and John, it's Keegan, uh, Sir Scatman of Norristown here at Philadelphia Brewing Company, where we are all faxing it in until the apocalypse.
Hi, guys!
Bye!
Hey, this is Sean here in Philadelphia.
Just keeping it real.
Anyways, this is Sir Brad.
Now you've Sir Matt of Coopersburg in the morning.
In the morning, it's Laura Renegade.
This is my first meetup, and it was pretty awesome.
So everybody who's scared to go to a meetup, just fucking do it!
This is Jake in the morning, everybody.
Wonderful meetup.
This is Gary in the morning to you all.
This is Dane Wayne, waiting off the legs in the morning.
Bye!
Well done there.
Well done.
Philly Local 76.
More meetups around you, and there's tons of them.
Today, there's one in South Florida.

That'll be at Best End Brewing, Atlanta, Georgia at 5 o'clock.
Also tomorrow, Drinking in Scani because Minnesotanuts are still locked down.
7 o'clock at Dallas House, St.
Croix Falls, Wisconsin.
On Saturday, is Melbourne really free?
That question will be answered at 1 o'clock Aussie Eastern Daylight Time.
On Saturday, I think it's probably already Saturday there.
That'll be at Fancy Hanks Barbecue Restaurant in Melbourne, Victoria, which now is called the American Barbecue.
Also on Saturday, Titletown, 1.30 in Green Bay.
We've got Local 404 Shenanigans, Protest Greater Atlanta at 3.33 at Hooligans Tavern in Roswell.

We've got Oklahoma City, Dallas-Fort Worth, Sunset Valley, Texas, Redding, California, Houston Raging Super Spreader Luncheon.
How could you miss it?
Inaugural Brisbane Aussie Shots in the Arm Slave Meetup on the 26th.
It is pandemonium over there at noagendameetups.com.
Why?
Because it's fun.
People like getting together.
Not only have you been sitting at home, you've been forced to be places that you don't want to be, with people you can't talk to anymore because it's so polarizing.
If I say anything, they're going to get mad...
They're now not even your family.
They're called your loved ones.
That's how bad it's gotten.
So find a meetup.
You'll enjoy it.
It's good for the soul, good for the amygdala, and if you can't find one near you, go ahead and schedule one yourself.
Noagendameetups.com.
It's like a party!
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Drink it all The Loved One was also a really great cult film I often forget about.
Oh, I'm not familiar with this.
Oh, The Loved One, yeah.
Huh.
Jonathan Winters.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, the hundred-year-old man.
We know him.
Well, that was Mel Brooks.
Wait.
No, no.
Wasn't that the comedy album?
Wasn't that...
Yes, it was Jonathan Winters.
I'm going to call you on it.
No, it wasn't.
It was Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner.
Hmm.
It's the thousand-year-old man.
Ah!
The thousand-year-old man?
No, here it is.
Hundred-year-old man by Jonathan Winters.
You want to roll again with me?
You want to roll again with me, bro?
The hundred-year-old man with Jonathan Winters?
Yep.
Yep.
It was a comedy album.
And I'm going to play some of it for you right now just to poke your eye out because Mr.
Know-It-All is wrong once again.
Mr.
Know-It-All is wrong.
How are you, sir?
I'm 100 today.
You're 100 today?
Today's your birthday?
I'm 100 years old.
That's the what, man?
Jonathan Winters.
Well, Jonathan Winters, who played the 100-year-old man in one of his sketches, is the star of this movie.
Nailed him!
Did you hear that, man?
Corey nailed Dvorak to the wall.
It was great.
Yeah, it was good.
Actually, no.
I take it back.
I sit corrected.
Let me play for you the most emailed clip of the day.
I got this one, let me see, 18 copies.
And as an aside, I do not mind.
Never hesitate to send me something thinking, eh, someone already sent it to them.
You're usually wrong.
On the other hand, people, Luther, I'm looking at you, people who email every story to me because I think it's interesting, you know, you're getting filtered eventually.
I do see your emails, but then you're going into an oversharing bin.
Look at my email.
It's show morning.
Play the clip.
I'm wondering what it is.
You don't know what it is?
Come on.
Everyone's heard this one.
I'll circle back if there's more I can share with you.
I'll circle back with you if there's more to convey.
I'll have to just circle back with you.
We can circle back with you.
I'm happy to circle back with you.
I can circle back.
I will have to circle back on that one.
That's an excellent question.
Oh, such an important question.
We will circle back with you and we'll circle back with you.
It's an interesting question, but we'll circle back.
I'm happy to circle back, but I'll have to circle back with you on it.
It's a good question, but we'll circle back with you on this today.
We will certainly circle back with you more directly.
I hate to disappoint you, but I will have to circle back with you on that as well.
That's Jim Psaki, new spokeshole for the White House, circling back a lot.
She apparently is a, I said that, she's a circle backer.
She is a big circle backer.
They had her reach around.
Ooh, I wouldn't accuse her of that, but yeah.
You never know.
I do have a few Biden clips to close with, and we can start with, just to get it out of the way, we can start with the Biden mumble fest.
It's not a good one, but it's there.
We need to open the promise of America to every American.
People of color in America and systemic racism had simply refused to see in this country's attitude toward racial justice.
Daddy changed the world.
But the devastation in communities of color has been nothing short of stunning.
Are Americans of color?
Black and Latino Americans are dying of COVID-19 at rates nearly three times that of white Americans.
It's not white Americans' fault, but just a fact.
Not so much a mumble as just incoherence.
What is he really talking about?
Okay, I'll change the name of these clips.
He has this thing he's talking about, which is racial equity.
Which nobody knows what it means, but he really has trouble getting it away from racial equality.
And here's an example of him making that little gaffe.
Approach to the issue of racial equality.
Well, I have the answer to what that is.
From Bob Woodson of the Woodson Institute, the civil rights leader for many, many decades.
He explains equity.
Equity, I mean, they're using inequality to vote equity.
Equity means if you're sitting at the gambling table, everybody gets the same winnings.
You don't have to win.
You'll be getting rewarded because you are who you are.
Whenever you generalize about a group, all blacks, all gays, all women, and then you have tried to apply remedies for problems that that group has, it always benefits the elite at the expense of the ones at the bottom.
Always.
It ends up being unequal.
For example, they generalize about all women.
And the Me Too movement was started when a woman in Harlem, I mean, in New York, tried to find a forum for abused, low-income black women to express themselves.
Well, middle class and elite black and white women seized that movement and then promoted, quote, equality for women, which meant that white, rich, and privileged Black and white women were required to go on boards of directors and jobs in corporations.
In the meantime, black women in prison, their needs were ignored.
That's what it means.
Equity means...
You're saying no?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've been listening to all the right-wingers go on and on about equity and what a bunch of bullcrap it is and he's using it instead of equality.
And I just went and looked it up.
And what it actually just means is fairness and justice.
Correct.
Remember, we've discussed this before.
The Democrats are into justice and equality, and the Republicans are for liberty and freedom.
Well, they've taken the word justice and replaced it with equity.
It's a trick.
Here's how I view it.
Equality is when everybody is up for the job.
And everybody has a fair chance at the job because they're all considered equal, regardless of race, color, creed, sexuality, length, whatever.
That's equality.
We're all up for the same job.
We have equal chances.
Equity is, okay, we have to give the job to one black person, one red person, one yellow person, one crippled person.
You know, that's equity.
And how's that different than justice?
That is justice.
Didn't you know that?
So they just swapped the words out.
So it's been equality and justice.
Now it's equality and equity.
The problem is the words sound too much the same.
I don't know why they did this.
It makes no sense.
But we'll be listening to it for a while because Biden likes it.
Here's another clip.
I want you to play this clip and tell me what he's saying here.
This is Biden's...
What I hear is blue truth.
The blue truth.
Okay.
The brutal truth is it's going to take months before you get the majority of Americans vaccinated.
Months.
In the next few months, masks, not vaccines, are the best defense against COVID-19.
Let me hear it again.
The brutal truth is...
The brutal truth is...
The bloom truth?
The brutal truth is...
The blooming truth?
Maybe the prompter got disconnected and it said Bluetooth?
Wow!
That's a good one, though.
The Bluetooth.
The Bluetooth.
I don't know.
Speaking of, do we have an end-of-show ISO yet?
I've got one more clip.
Now, this one is an interesting clip because he's...
I guess it's just telling the truth must come out, but it's in an offbeat way.
This is Biden talking about hiring Susan Rice.
I want you to listen carefully.
Urban, suburban communities facing persistent poverty.
And I've asked Ambassador Susan Rice to lead the administration's charge through the White House and Domestic Policy Council because I know she'll see it through.
Yeah, she's right behind the dude with the Viking helmet on.
She's leading the charge through the White House?
Well, the thing that gets me is what he's actually saying.
We'll just drop his gaffes.
He's saying he hired Susan Rice because she won't quit.
He's not hiring her because she's a genius or she can do the job well or things are going to change.
He's hiring her.
He says this.
He's hiring her because she won't quit.
Urban, suburban communities facing persistent poverty.
I've asked Ambassador Susan Rice to lead the administration's charge through the White House and Domestic Policy Council because I know she'll see it through.
Unlike other douchebags who give up and like, ugh, I can't deal with it?
You mean like that?
I don't know.
She'll see it through.
That's all we care about.
I do have one ISO. It's not very good, but it's guards.
Okay, guards as the ISO. We can never let down our guards.
I have a ISO candidate.
What were you thinking?
Ugh.
Yeah, I know it's tough, right?
I think mine's a little better.
Play them both again.
I think mine's a little better.
We can never let down our guards.
What were you thinking?
Ugh, I don't like either one of them.
I don't like either one, really.
Hmm.
Do we have a leftover, maybe?
Cricket cream cheese.
It could be a thing.
Cricket cream cheese.
It could be a thing.
I like that one.
Yeah, you want the cricket cream cheese?
We can do that.
It could be a thing.
You know, it could be a thing.
Cricket cream cheese.
I have one clip, one last one, just because why wouldn't you do it?
It's interesting news.
He hasn't been around for a while.
We haven't heard, well, for obvious reasons, we haven't heard from Jeffrey Epstein, but he was back in the news.
As a result, Leon Black is resigning as CEO of Apollo.
The news, of course, coincides with the findings of an outside review into his personal dealings with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, the report was put together by a law firm at Deckert, the law firm Deckert at Black's request.
It reaffirmed that he wasn't involved in any of Epstein's criminal activities.
But it showed that Black paid Epstein a whopping $158 million for services between 2012 and 2017.
Services that the report said included trust and estate planning, tax issues, advice about art, his private plane, yacht, philanthropy, and the operation of Black's family office.
Now Black is considered one of the founding fathers of private equity.
He started Apollo three decades ago.
Grew it into a more than $400 billion alternative assets behemoth, but the Epstein scandal weighed on his reputation and ultimately on the firm, with some investors pausing additional commitments to the fund.
Now, shares of Apollo gained amid the Monday evening news that he was stepping down as CEO. I just love it.
$158 million for services.
Yeah, we talked about this on the DHM Plug Show because it's ludicrous.
Do tell.
Well, I mean, everything that supposedly serve it besides the vague services, according to Horowitz, amounts to maybe a couple hundred grand, not 158 million.
Hmm, I wonder what it was really for then.
They never do that on the mainstream.
Nope.
You want your crackpot?
You want your buzzkill?
You got to get it on right here.
And we will do it again on Sunday.
Make sure you remember us to support the show and the work and fill in the gaps where the other producers can't at dvorak.org slash na.
And then I will notify you that we have rare encounters coming up on the stream, noagendastream.com with Sir Cold Acid and Sir Abel Kirby.
There's a lot of jingles for No Agenda Show.
And end of show mixes, Rolando Gonzalez.
And we'll do a classic from Jesse Coy Nelson, who is currently traveling the world.
And he's been checking in with me all as well.
And coming to you from Austin, Texas, capital of the drone, Star State, here in Opportunity Zone 33.
It is FEMA region number six on the governmental maps, if you're looking for it.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's raining on and off, it's stopped, finally.
Thank you.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here on No Agenda.
Yeah, please join us.
And remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios mofos!
I'll circle back if there's more I can share with you.
I'll circle back with you if there's more to convey.
Do you know what beef cattle raised in the U.S. are often fed?
I'll have to just circle back with you.
What does the security picture look like for this incoming national security team?
I'll have to just circle back with you.
We can circle back with you.
I'm happy to circle back with you.
Are you ready to pierce the heart of darkness?
Just circle back on that one.
That's an excellent question.
So how do you de-radicalize these people?
Oh, such an important question.
We will circle back with you.
I think we need a 9-11 type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together and explain what happened to them.
It's an interesting question, but we'll circle back.
Well, what is going to happen to those people that we can't re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?
I have to circle back with you on it.
It's a good question.
What's the definitive answer as to how effective is the AstraZeneca vaccine?
We will certainly circle back with you more directly.
Is there a point with this variant that you think there's going to be new restrictions, whether advice that says double masks or additional lockdowns?
We'll circle back with you on this today.
Oh my gosh!
Can you see that juice?
I hate to disappoint you, but I will have to circle back with you on that as well.
According to our new ABC News poll with Ipsos, 9 out of 10 Americans say they've worn a mask in public in the last week.
Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
But there's some partisan divide.
You said as late as March 31st, there was no consensus on wearing masks.
Let me explain to you what happened back then.
That's what it's all about.
But in general, if someone is well enough to be out in public, they're medically well enough to put some kind of face covering or mask on.
You can see, here, nobody's wearing them, nobody's, uh, there you go, including the camera.
That's what it's all about.
An off-duty officer was seen body-slamming a woman at a Walmart when she allegedly refused to wear a mask.
Face masks have become a little more than a fashion statement.
A symbol of submission.
They're virtue signaling.
They're showing that they're a good citizen.
They obey the instructions that come from the TV. Okay, we're going to play that game.
Adios, mofo.
