	Oh, you're talking about some of your woman's appearance!
	Woman's appearance!
	Ho-ho-ho-ho!
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Thursday, March 4th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1326.
	This is No Agenda.
	Kind of.
	And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Boston, Texas, capital of the drone, Star State.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're all waiting for Trump to be sworn in today, I'm John C. DeVore.
	It's Crackbot and Buzzkill.
	Indeed.
	Happy Inauguration Day, John.
	Yeah, yeah.
	This has gone much further than I ever expected it to do, this March 4th thing, which is just even too nutty for me.
	It's pretty funny.
	Here's the coverage.
	I got two little quickies coverage-wise.
	I've got a couple.
	After you're done, I've got a couple little quickies.
	These are just quickies from CNN talking to a QAnon panel and families who have members in the queue.
	And here we go.
	Does anybody understand what is supposed to be happening on March 4th?
	Well, so March 4th, they're thinking that Donald Trump is going to come back and he's going to be the president.
	Apparently, what they said is way back when, it was like 1871, Inauguration Day used to happen on March 4th, and then Donald Trump will be back and he'll be inaugurated as either the 19th president of the United States Republic or the first president of some new something.
	But wait, there's more.
	There's more.
	Because, and by the way, producers of Gitmo Nation have emailed every single one of these stories to me, and I have investigated all of them.
	Charlotte, is it true that one of your sisters does not today believe that Joe Biden is president?
	Yes.
	She now, she tells her daughter that she thinks that the White House is upset and that Biden isn't actually president.
	Wow!
	Yes.
	I mean, it's mind-boggling.
	Well, the person that I started talking to anyways that had initially got me into QAnon, he was like, you know, Joe Biden's not even real.
	Like, that's why he's wearing a mask all the time because the fake face that he's wearing, the mouth doesn't move correctly when he talks.
	Yeah, so they really believe that Joe Biden is not even Joe Biden.
	This is true.
	It's not the Joe Biden we know, for sure.
	And his mouth is definitely out of sync with his brain.
	No doubt there, but geez.
	The only thing I'm missing is the Nassara stuff.
	That's a big part of the sovereign citizen, you know, the National Economic Security and Recovery Act.
	That is supposed to be used in combination with the quantum financial system and off-world sites that will be linked through XRP, probably through the Ripple Corporation, and that will eventually bring us back to the gold standard.
	At that point, we resolve the Federal Reserve.
	Dissolve the Federal Reserve.
	That's the story.
	That makes sense.
	Well, here's the long version.
	This is the capital attack imminent.
	It's from NPR. They're giving us the lowdown.
	Okay, yousers.
	Officials are again beefing up security around the U.S. Capitol building amid concerns stemming from a QAnon conspiracy theory.
	NPR's Windsor-Johnson reports tomorrow's data is significant to some right-wing conspiracy theorists because they believe that's the day former President Trump will return to power.
	The U.S. Capitol Police have obtained intelligence pointing to a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an unidentified militia group on Thursday.
	In a statement, Capitol Police say based on the information, they've taken immediate steps to enhance security around the Capitol complex.
	The threat appears to stem from QAnon, the umbrella term for a set of disproven and discredited conspiracy theories, including the false belief that former president Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the true 19th president on March 4th.
	This is kind of interesting because they keep doing this.
	They keep saying that QAnon stands for a set of conspiracy theories, but that's factually just not true, which I don't understand exactly why they've changed that.
	Listen again.
	The threat appears to stem from QAnon, the umbrella term for a set of disproven and discredited conspiracy theories.
	Umbrella term.
	Yeah, you're right.
	I didn't notice that either.
	I'm not sure why they're doing that.
	I think I can kind of deconstruct why they might be doing it.
	Well, 15 more seconds.
	We'll finish the clip and then we'll do it.
	Including the false belief that former President Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the true 19th President on March 4th.
	Hold on, stop.
	Here's another one that got me listening a little closer.
	It's not a false belief.
	No, it's a very real belief.
	It's a belief.
	Yeah.
	But why do they use false belief in this report?
	Because these people must be deemed crazy, insane, and not fit for society.
	Don't you think?
	Well, there's a lot of this.
	I don't even know if they do it over.
	I think it's just even, I think it's, they do it subconsciously, I believe.
	Yes, but it's become one of those things just like baseless or without evidence.
	Yeah, baseless, baseless.
	But this is a little different because this is like a violation of English grammar.
	Oh, please.
	It's, what was it, the NPR, PBS, or was it?
	NPR. This is the big boys.
	What do you expect?
	Including the false belief that former President Donald Trump will be inaugurated as the true 19th President on March 4th.
	A number of people believed to be QAnon followers have been charged for their alleged involvement in the attack on the Capitol building.
	And then they say QAnon followers as if it's a thing or a person, not just an umbrella term.
	I don't know, it's weird.
	Very poorly done.
	They don't know what they're talking about is the problem.
	Yeah, they're just taking whatever has been said before.
	That's just kind of how it goes in the newsrooms.
	Is that the whole thing?
	Yeah, I have a 16-second clip that ties into that one about the enhanced security that they've gotten.
	Because if anything, they got what they wanted, which was a day off.
	So no one is working in the Capitol today because...
	Oh yeah.
	It's going to be raided by a bunch of...
	This is such nonsense.
	I was listening to all these...
	It's propaganda.
	It's propaganda.
	It's ridiculous though.
	It's like so stupid.
	Oh, these militias are going to storm the Capitol.
	Who are they?
	Here is the measures they wanted, they got...
	Also in Washington, a review of U.S. Capitol security reportedly calls for sweeping changes in the wake of the January 6th riot.
	Those changes include hiring 1,000 new officers and establishing a permanent fence around the Capitol.
	One estimate claims hiring those officers could cost $100 million.
	Why not?
	I have a clip from Ingraham.
	This is from a few days before they came up with the bull crap about the invasion.
	But this was Ingraham, Frau Ingraham, talking to...
	Thank you.
	It's sticking.
	I like it.
	I like it, too.
	It's very good.
	Talking to Glenn Greenwald, who must feel really weird only being able to go on Fox.
	No kidding.
	No kidding.
	Net of surveillance without any clear indication as to why they want to surveil more people.
	They won't cite any evidence.
	They say, oh, we have to go behind closed doors.
	That's what they said yesterday.
	You know, I think it's ultimately really a way of simultaneously raising fear levels, because when you put people in a state of fear, they acquiesce to authoritarian power.
	But also, it's a signal.
	It's trying to make people feel threatened by them, saying, you better not challenge us in any way.
	We are essentially militarized.
	We've armed and militarized all of Washington.
	And that's called a people's house.
	You're supposed to be able to come and go outside of the capital.
	And the fact that there was a riot on one day does not justify having the military take the nation's capital and essentially turn it into, as you say, what looks like the green zone in Baghdad at the height of the Iraq war.
	But that is a really good way to keep the population fearful of these threats, but also fearful of the government, which is a very poor state of affairs.
	And over at MSNBC, they're not so much concerned about that increase in domestic spying, but that it's just pointed in the right direction.
	Heh heh heh.
	You know, during the The snow-vid Armageddon here.
	I got to talking to my neighbor.
	Now, I always thought his wife or partner, she was a cop, which she is, but she's had an interesting career.
	And the first thing I learned, he said, you know, those cars, you know, the weird cars you see sometimes in front of a house?
	I'm like, yeah, is that like someone staying with you?
	He says, no, that's her undercover car.
	So whenever you see one of those, that's just a piece of crap they get from a local dealer to go undercover.
	What I learned is that she was a Capitol Police officer for many, many years in D.C. And she did the inauguration this year.
	And I said, well, what can you tell me?
	And he said, I can tell you this.
	The Capitol Police are trained to shoot and to kill on sight, without hesitation, at a moment's notice, and they've done it several times before in history.
	He says, that should tell you enough.
	Now, what that means exactly, I don't know, but there was, for sure, either there was no threat, or it was some stand-down, or whatever it was, they were not going to kill these people because they posed no threat.
	Boots on the ground.
	Well, that's interesting.
	I think I forgot to mention that.
	Well, that one woman did get shot in the face.
	Yeah, in the neck.
	Yeah, of course.
	I mean, but in general, in general, nothing happened.
	And now we know actually nothing did happen.
	Cop wasn't killed by a protester.
	There were no firearms inside the Capitol.
	There were weapons, if you count flagpoles.
	And maybe that one crazy woman with a pitchfork.
	Not a very effective weapon, possibly.
	Yeah, it's dumb.
	But all of this came amongst hearings in Congress about what happened on January 6th.
	And it's mostly boring and...
	This one I picked up just short, but I thought it was relevant.
	FBI Director Wray countering the narrative that this could have been an Antifa false flag.
	FBI Director Christopher Wray says the attack on the U.S. Capitol in January was an act of domestic terrorism.
	In his first appearance before Congress since the attack, Wray said the FBI is focusing on the growing threat of homegrown extremists, and he denied claims that the Antifa movement was behind the attack.
	We have not to date seen any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to Antifa in connection with the 6th.
	That doesn't mean we're not looking and we'll continue to look.
	I thought Antifa wasn't real.
	I thought it didn't exist.
	No, that's just one of the congressmen who said that.
	It's pretty prevalent.
	At the moment, we have not seen that.
	A large and growing number of the people that we have arrested so far in connection with the 6th are what we would call militia violent extremism.
	New term.
	New term.
	Militia violent extremists.
	And this has to be code for something.
	And I think it's the trying to connect it to the Second Amendment, you know?
	A well-armed militia.
	I like that.
	Because it was domestic violent extremists, and now they change it to militia?
	Hmm...
	And everybody was out talking about this horrible event as the hearings were going on and obviously John Brennan is safe to step out again and talk to his woman there, Nicole Wallace on MSNBC. That's why we started with Katie Benner's great new reporting about the investigation into police officer.
	It renders, you know, at best hypocritical, at worst cynical and false, any notion that the Republicans care about the lives and the safety of law enforcement.
	Well, I must say, to Claire's point, I'm increasingly embarrassed to be a white male these days.
	There we go.
	I don't know what I see of my other white males saying, but it just shows that with very few exceptions, like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, there are so few Republicans in Congress who value truth, honesty, and integrity.
	And so they'll continue to gaslight the country the way that Donald Trump did.
	The fact that this has such security and safety implications for the American public and for the members of Congress, again, as Claire said, it is just a disgusting display of craven politics that really should have no place in the United States in 2021.
	I wonder if the next step, going from domestic violent extremists to militia violent extremists, maybe it's just male violent extremists.
	Why don't we just do that right away?
	White male.
	White male violent extremists.
	Wumvee!
	I'm a Wumvee!
	I think your original thinking about the militia is good.
	Here, play the National Guard.
	This is the National Guard guy.
	When I saw this...
	I saw the testimony, but this is an NPR version of it, so they actually tried to jack it up a little bit.
	To respond to a frantic call for help from the Capitol Police during the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol.
	Meanwhile, those guard troops were sitting just minutes away from the building under siege.
	A joint Senate panel heard testimony today from military and national security officials.
	John, did you see the joint panel heard testimony today?
	Did you see the testimony today?
	I can't stand it.
	I can't stand it.
	Try to understand why it took so long for help to arrive.
	NPR congressional correspondent Susan Davis covered the hearing.
	She's here now, I see.
	For now.
	Key testimony today from William Walker.
	He is the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard.
	He was talking about some of the reasons behind the delay.
	What explanation did he give?
	Well, Walker testified that he was given orders from the Pentagon the day before January 6th that he would have to seek approval up the chain of command for any and all decisions on moving guard troops.
	He said that included even moving troops between things like traffic stops.
	Senators were surprised to hear this, including Ohio Republican Rob Portman, who had this exchange with Walker.
	Did you find that unusual?
	19 years, I never had that before happen.
	Walker said that order meant that when the Capitol, then Capitol Police Chief Stephen Sun called him asking for military support when the building was being breached by pro-Trump rioters, Walker could not dispatch what's known as a quick response force that was at the ready just down the street at the D.C. Armory.
	He had to get on a conference call with senior Pentagon officials and wait for approval, which he said did not come down to him until more than three hours later after he had made the request.
	I can't get that number out of my head.
	Three hours, more than three hours.
	Is there any explanation as to why the Pentagon put those restrictions on Walker?
	What kind of a journalist would say?
	Well, Walker did corroborate testimony that Sun gave last week that on that conference call, top army officials raised concerns about the optics of sending troops to the Capitol.
	Walker said that he was, quote, stunned by those comments.
	As for the restrictions that had been put on him, a Pentagon official who testified, Robert Silesis, said that there was concerns at the Pentagon about deploying troops after the pushback they received from the use of the Guard during the spring and summer racial justice protests, and they wanted more discretion over that call.
	Okay, so what did we learn?
	I found this to be peculiar.
	This happens the day before the breach.
	Exactly the day before the breach, they changed the procedures completely, 100%.
	Of course.
	This was a setup.
	Yeah.
	Welcome to QAnon.
	The idea was to let this play out as much as they could.
	They knew it wasn't really dangerous.
	As you mentioned, the cops would have just shot everybody.
	The Capitol Police themselves, as you mentioned, with that new piece of information.
	So this whole thing was just a scam.
	It was a setup to let this kind of happen the way it did.
	The guys did stay between the lines, between the ropes.
	And it was a setup.
	The whole thing was a massive scam.
	Trump was a sucker.
	The whole thing was just, it was a setup to get the re-impeachment going to create the situation.
	Now they're milking it with the guards out in front of the place.
	They're still there.
	And this phony baloney thing that's supposed to happen today.
	Does anybody in their right mind who follows the news actually think that some crazy militia is going to come in and storm the Capitol today because of intelligence sources?
	Oh, we've got intelligence.
	And they keep saying this.
	Intelligence reports.
	Intelligence reports.
	Bullcrap!
	Yeah?
	You are now officially QAnon.
	No, QAnon is one of the things that Trump's going to be sworn in today.
	It's an umbrella, John.
	It's a big umbrella.
	Okay, let's get back to that.
	You don't have to believe everything under the umbrella.
	How does this happen?
	This happens because you're in an editorial meeting and somebody says, how can we best describe QAnon?
	And nobody, because they don't even know what the hell it is, they don't follow it, they don't even know what red it is, let alone being able to spell it.
	Is that R-E-A-D? So they have these meetings, a bunch of dimwits, and they say, what can we call it?
	And they say, well, I think we can do this.
	And they kind of come up with this idea that it's an umbrella.
	Yeah.
	It's great because when you have the umbrella, then you can put everyone under it.
	So what you just said puts you under the umbrella.
	And so there's your answer.
	It's to make it bigger, not just people who watch and followed QAnon on 4chan, then 8chan, and then Gooblychan.
	Not that.
	No, no, no.
	It's all this baseless, without evidence, belief, wrong belief.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	You just put us in crosshairs by saying this was a scam.
	That is not acceptable, that answer.
	I know, because it's the only real answer.
	That's how it goes.
	No other reason.
	I mean, it's just a scam.
	It's a massive scam.
	It is.
	And I want to see, where are these militias?
	Who are these people?
	They got all this intelligence that this horrible thing's going to happen because they're so damn good at this, so they're spying on the public 24-7, and they've got all this good information.
	It's nonsense.
	Yeah, that's correct.
	But I think you thought about using the word militia in there to kind of well-armed militia is the exact phrase.
	If you have a firearm in the house, you are suspect, especially if you're male and white.
	I mean, it's laid out right in front of us.
	There's no doubt that this is taking place.
	And if you're a podcaster, off to the gulag for you.
	I think they still don't even know that podcasting exists.
	No, they know.
	They know.
	They're not very good at it, but they know.
	Now, I need to just briefly say that we have been freed here in Texas.
	Freed from the Fauci flu!
	We are free!
	I have more clips about this than anything.
	Let me give you the quick openers.
	This morning, a surprising rollback.
	It is now time to open Texas 100%.
	Texas Governor Greg Abbott making the announcement ending the statewide mask mandate and declaring Texas businesses can fully reopen next week.
	And everyone celebrated with us here in Texas, including Joy Reid from MSNBC. What did she say?
	You get some COVID. You get some COVID. You get some COVID. You get some COVID. Thanks, Joy.
	We feel good about that.
	Let's bring in some more tards.
	How about Beto?
	My home county, where I am right now, there are 280 bodies stacked up in a warehouse because there are not enough grave diggers and not enough graves to be dug to put them in the ground.
	They had to set up 10 mobile morgues.
	And that's just in my city right now.
	It is 85% Mexican-American.
	They just don't And that indifference is killing people in my community and throughout the state of Texas.
	We're all racist here!
	We don't care about you!
	And the nurses are flipping out!
	A Texas ICU nurse called Governor Greg Abbott's decision to remove the mask mandate quote, nerve-wracking.
	Brittany Smart says healthcare workers have begun to see a light at the end of the tunnel amid ongoing vaccinations and also several weeks of COVID-19 cases declining.
	Smart says she's seen too many bodies stacked like firewood Adding, quote, Y'all don't understand or just don't care.
	This isn't political.
	These are humans and they are dying.
	Health experts have warned the country could see another surge in coronavirus cases in the coming weeks fueled by highly contagious variants.
	That's it, baby!
	Hey, what was that report from?
	What was that report from?
	Hold on, I'll tell you.
	It was local CBS News.
	Body stacked like firewood.
	Where's the photo?
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	You mean the Beto one?
	I'm sorry?
	The Beto clip, you mean?
	Or the Texas nurse clip that you just heard?
	Which one?
	The one I just heard.
	Yeah, that's CBS. And Beto mentioned that bodies stacked like firewood.
	No, he just said they were...
	He didn't say firewood, I don't think.
	Oh, stacked.
	They were...
	That was...
	Piling up.
	MSNBC. Piling up, yeah.
	It's bullshit.
	It's totally not true.
	No, but stacked like firewood?
	I want to see the photo.
	It's not true.
	It's not true.
	Where's the photo?
	It's not true!
	They said it's true.
	It must be true.
	It's CBS. CBS, a CIA broadcasting system.
	They have to tell the truth.
	They don't care about that.
	They have a better message.
	CBS? Tonight, Houston becoming the first U.S. city to see cases of all the reported variants.
	All of them!
	All of them!
	Including those found in California, New York, the U.K., Brazil, and South Africa.
	We got them all!
	We're collecting them all.
	We got all the variants and we don't care.
	We're Texans!
	We're crazy!
	Well, that's beside the whole thing.
	I have the...
	Here's a long report from...
	This is from the South Dakota Public Broadcasting Operation, and they...
	I do a lot of PBS today, but...
	Yes, that's good.
	And they went to the Austin NPR people and got a report, and this is...
	Hold on, hold on.
	The Austin NPR people who barely even broadcast during the worst...
	Crisis this year.
	They had Terry Gross fresh air running in the morning instead of giving us some information.
	That Austin NPR? Exactly.
	This is COVID Texas long form.
	Texas will soon be the largest state in the country without any COVID-19 restrictions on businesses.
	Governor Greg Abbott is ending his mask mandate and other measures.
	The move has drawn criticism from health officials and President Biden.
	And as Ashley Lopez of member station KUT in Austin reports, many frontline workers are nervous.
	Emily Hoover says this decision is going to make running her business harder.
	Hoover is the owner of a women's store in Austin called Feathers Boutique Vintage.
	She started requiring masks in her store even before the state had its own order, which she says wasn't popular at first.
	I had a really hard time as a business getting people to comply.
	And a lot of people calling me, messaging me, telling me that, you know, I needed to get rid of it or that they wouldn't shop with me as long as I had a mask mandate.
	Last summer, she says, things got easier when Governor Greg Abbott issued a statewide order requiring people to wear masks in public spaces.
	But this week, Abbott announced he's rescinding the order effective next week.
	People and businesses don't need the state telling them how to operate.
	Abbott says businesses can still decide on their own if they want to limit capacity or require masks.
	Angelina Alanis has waitressed at a local Mexican restaurant that's had indoor dining for a while now.
	She says even with a limited capacity, it has felt pretty unsafe.
	It's already pretty crowded in there to the point where people feel, like, uncomfortable walking up to the to-go window to get their to-go's because there'll be, like, a crowd of people not wearing masks around the door, waiting to get sat.
	So just going back up 100% seems...
	Kind of overwhelming.
	But Alanis says if the restaurant she works at decides to open up capacity, she and her co-workers will probably just have to risk it.
	It's kind of like, what choice do we have?
	Like, if our restaurant is open and sitting, like, that's our job.
	So we have to like be willing to wait on people that are inside and sitting down.
	Even restaurant owners feel like they're being put in a bind and left to fend for themselves.
	Michael Fodderje is the owner of Olame, an upscale southern restaurant in Austin.
	He says state officials are lifting restrictions without providing a path for workers to get vaccinated earlier.
	We need help with messaging so that we can protect ourselves instead of fighting the general public and trying to convince them that we that our lives are valuable and that they should wear a mask to protect us.
	All right.
	I need to give you some local color on what's really going on.
	Unless you have comments.
	Yes, you know, it'd be nice because I listened to that report and it sounded like everybody in Austin wants to be masked up and locked down and these restaurants don't want to be open and everybody's worried sick that everyone's infected.
	Okay, so now first, this came out on Tuesday, and Austin Twitter exploded with a tarred explosion fest, and people wishing the governor to fall down the stairs with his wheelchair, you know, death to you, you don't care about us, you're a murderer, Hitler, blah, blah, blah, all of that.
	My friends who own the Spin Studio were very excited because not so much about anything other than the capacity because, you know, they typically can pack 30, 35 riders into one class and they've been restricted to 12.
	So, now, I know them very well, and I know that they are not going to say anything about this.
	They're just going to let people do what they want to do.
	They're not going to take a stand because they don't feel they need to take a stand on those things.
	Same with Black Lives Matter.
	But here's what I saw Wednesday, yesterday, when I went to my ride class.
	Everyone was wearing a mask.
	The studio, even though it's not going into March 10th, the lifting of all restrictions, was full.
	So they packed it.
	So all of these total, total nutjob social justice warrior, under-informed, over-socialized, mainly women, that's who I see most in the ride class, We're all wearing their masks right up to the bike, take it off, do the ride, get it right back on, and then they go and sit shoulder to shoulder and taking selfies.
	The social distancing has been completely forgotten.
	Same with the supermarkets.
	Now, it has only come down to the mask, which tells me this is not reality.
	They are not afraid of anything really happening.
	This is purely psychosis.
	And part of that under-informed and over-socialized is that most of these younger children, they're Zoomers, so they're not the millennials, mainly the Zoomers, who are so aggressively angry and yelling about it, don't really understand, have not been educated...
	In the United States and what we stand for.
	Because the governor did not say, go ahead, wear your mask, kill everybody!
	No.
	The order was, I'm lifting everything.
	Texans are responsible enough to determine their own risk, both if they are a citizen going into business and a business if they want to let citizens in.
	They can do whatever they want.
	So nothing really factually has to change.
	And I don't think it will.
	I think the mass will stay on as a virtue signal.
	Right now, there's lists being created of, here's all the businesses that will follow the rules and Fauci!
	And soon we'll have a list of all the businesses that say, you know, it's like, do whatever you want to do.
	Okay, you want to wear a mask, you wear a mask.
	The only, the only problem that was so beautifully slipped into this mask business was the idea that you have to wear it because you might get somebody else sick with your evil germs.
	So that was the point made at the end of that last clip.
	Yeah, and that is really, we've never heard that before.
	Except during COVID, all of a sudden that was important.
	And if the mask, from a logical standpoint, the mask is for when you may not be able to socially distance people.
	That was the original intent.
	Yeah.
	And because the six feet, although obviously intended to remind you of six feet under, the six feet distance was the safe distance for which you're spewing the COVID germs in people's faces would probably not make it.
	So if they're so concerned about masks, why don't you just stay six feet away from me?
	So that is going to be the argument.
	Sir Gene, God bless his heart, he went straight to HEB yesterday and went in without a mask.
	And no one stopped him.
	Of course, it's Gene.
	He's a big boy.
	Yeah, you don't want to feel like, ah, I don't think we're going to mess with that guy.
	We won't do that.
	So it's complete virtue signaling on everybody's part.
	And those that are really, really serious...
	And they believe that this is down to just a mask.
	You should close your business.
	You really should.
	You have no idea what you're talking about.
	And these variants escape the mask.
	This has also been told over and over.
	So promoting the variance, which has been debunked, at least on this show, by people who have looked at the research, which has got nothing to do with the real world stuff.
	It's just a lab research.
	And to be bringing it up as though you want this to continue?
	You're like looking forward to it?
	What's wrong with you?
	There's a lot wrong here.
	There's a lot wrong.
	I have one more mask report, again from NPR. But again, it's masks, right?
	It's not about...
	No one says washing your hands or social distance.
	No, this is why I think it's funny that when Biden says it's not a political thing...
	Yes, it is.
	Yeah, it is.
	It's totally political.
	This is an official NPR report from...
	It says COVID, Texas mask report.
	Even as President Biden was excoriating Texas Governor Greg Abbott over a decision to lift mask mandates, the state's Republican Senator John Cornyn was rushing to his defense.
	Cornyn accusing the Biden administration of fear mongering, saying battling the coronavirus involves more than wearing masks.
	This is not just a one-dimensional problem.
	We need to look at the whole thing.
	And I think Governor Abbott in the state of Texas, I'm proud of the work we've done.
	But other elected officials, including San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, disagree with the decision.
	Nirenberg telling NPR's All Things Considered today easing virus restrictions right now is a bad idea.
	Lifting the mask mandate at this time is a dreadful and unnecessary decision that unfortunately will cost lives in our state.
	Already more than 44,000 people have died in Texas from COVID-19, behind only California and New York.
	Again, this is completely unscientific.
	The masks are for when you can't socially distance.
	And they're not talking about it, so it's totally political.
	It's crap.
	And again, they've dropped that whole idea.
	And I remember from the very beginning, the reason for the mask was because you're going to be bumping elbows.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And the whole idea, and this is what's so distressing, not distressing, but it's disappointing to me, is that everyone takes this in a political manner.
	I mean, literally, Republicans want to kill us!
	You hear it everywhere.
	But it is a bait.
	The whole point is, we don't need to force you, Texas.
	You'll figure it out because that's actually how it's supposed to work according to our democracy.
	South Dakota is never brought up in any of these conversations, and they have had this attitude since the get-go, since the very beginning, as Christy Noem pointed out.
	It's never discussed.
	They are going after Noem hardcore.
	Well, they're not going to get very far.
	If you want, I have a number of clips.
	I'd love to hear a clip of the anti-gnome stuff.
	I'd like to see what direction they're going to try to take because she looks pretty tough.
	This is our clip custodian watched the whole Face the Nation interview with...
	Which is about this topic, and they had Fauci on, they had Noem herself on, so here is kind of a setup which takes us back to the CPAC convention, and they bring in Fauci after, as we know, Governor Noem said Fauci is wrong a lot.
	I want to ask you, Dr.
	Fauci, about something one of our upcoming guests said.
	Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota delivered a speech to a conservative conference yesterday, and she touted her decisions.
	She got a standing ovation when she said she ignored the medical advice of experts, and specifically you.
	We never focused on the case numbers.
	Instead, we kept our eye on hospital capacity.
	Now Dr.
	Fauci, he told me that on my worst day, I'd have 10,000 patients in the hospital.
	On our worst day, we had a little over 600.
	Now, I don't know if you agree with me, but Dr.
	Fauci is wrong a lot.
	How much of an impediment is sentiment like that to the nation's recovery?
	Instead of saying, is that true?
	Were your numbers wrong?
	Instead of saying that, she goes for the, oh, does not fuck it all up.
	You know, it's...
	That's journalism, baby.
	She is a terrible, terrible journalist.
	CBS is a terrible network.
	All mainstream media is terrible.
	End of.
	You know, it's unfortunate, but it is not really helpful.
	Because sometimes you think things are going well, and just take a look at the numbers.
	They don't lie.
	This is what I like.
	And she should come in and say...
	But she claims a different number than you, Dr.
	Fauci.
	We see, Margaret, what happens when you pull back prematurely.
	Now, you're going to have individual instances of situations where people may not have and didn't see a rebound right away.
	But you really got to be careful, particularly now that we have variants in this country that seem to spread more efficiently and maybe even are more dangerous with regard to pathogenicity.
	So I'm sure that, you know, you can get a standing ovation by saying I'm wrong.
	Yeah, the big wheeze for Fauci did not answer the question.
	It fuddled the numbers right there, like fucking propaganda.
	It's unbelievable.
	But it wasn't over.
	And more importantly to me is the fact that Margaret Brennan didn't ask him, what about those numbers that she cited?
	She puts the numbers, she puts Christy Noem on to kind of ridicule her and then lets Fauci go off on his merry way.
	She does nothing.
	She's a terrible, terrible journalist.
	Well, in fact, she tried to rip Noem a new one herself.
	So for your state, you have, if you look at starting in July, which was after that spring peak, you have the highest death rate in cumulative COVID deaths per million in the country.
	The CDC says you have the eighth highest death rate per capita.
	Now.
	I'm not talking about infection rates.
	I know you're a conservative and you care about the sanctity of life.
	So how can you justify...
	Bringing in the no abortion thing, sanctity of life.
	Good one, Margaret.
	You got her.
	You zipped her on that one.
	...making decisions that put the health of your constituents at risk.
	You don't want to kill people!
	And those are questions that you should be asking every other governor in this country as well.
	I'm asking you today, madam.
	Now she's a tough...
	Now she's tough.
	I'm asking you, madam.
	When she pulled the madam card.
	Woo!
	That's something chicks don't like.
	And those are questions that you should be asking every other governor in this country as well.
	I'm asking you today, madam.
	You're facing the nation.
	I'm answering you.
	I'm answering you, Margaret.
	I'm answering you.
	Regionally, we have seen the virus hit the country very differently.
	And it hit the Midwest earlier than it did the South, and now the East Coast and the West Coast.
	So we are still dealing with this virus in this country.
	South Dakota went through our highest rate of infections and implications earlier.
	The rest of the country is dealing with much higher numbers today.
	And that's really what this means.
	What we should be looking at is, did the mitigation measures help?
	Did mandating different actions in each of these states make a difference?
	Because what we're seeing is that the mandates aren't necessarily what's working.
	It's that people have the ability, the flexibility to not just look at this virus and how it hits their health, but also how does it impact their well-being, their economic well-being, their ability to keep their kids in school, their ability to keep their businesses open, pay their bills.
	That's been incredibly challenging.
	Well, let's talk about that.
	So, what do you think she brings up?
	What is she going to pin on Gnome now?
	Everything has failed.
	She can't do the numbers.
	She called her madam, the M-word.
	Oh, I know.
	I know what we'll do.
	This was your fault too, Gnome.
	There's a $12 billion price tag that has been pegged to the impact.
	And fallout from that Sturgis motorcycle rally that you hosted in your state in August.
	It is blamed for seeding the entire Midwest outbreak that hit in that late summer through the fall.
	Do you take personal responsibility for that?
	Well, that is completely false information.
	That is not true.
	This is a San Diego State University study.
	And it is not based on facts.
	We tracked people that came to the rally, had states report back to us cases that came from that rally.
	It was less than 100 cases that we could track to that, and we did testing in that community and throughout the area for weeks after.
	So she tries that on her.
	And if you'd like to hear the final bit, we have to bring in someone who has some official capacity and speaks like they know what they're talking.
	So you bring in the shill.
	The shill would be Scott Gottlieb, former FDA commissioner, big pharma insider.
	I want to ask you about Governor Noem, who spoke on this program, saying she never focused.
	She told CPAC she never focused on case numbers.
	She focused on hospital capacity.
	She rejected the premise that the motorcycle rally that she held in her state in August was responsible for seating the Midwest.
	Hold on.
	Hold on.
	Stop.
	She held the rally?
	Did she send out the flyers?
	That's what she's saying.
	She held the rally.
	So there was a rally and she held it.
	Notice this is not a rally.
	This is not a rally.
	What is she calling a rally?
	Well, it's not a rally.
	I know it's more of a meet-up.
	Sturgis is an event of epic proportions.
	It's a big meet-up.
	You're using rally as a political term.
	Again, it's so obvious.
	This is loaded with kind of strange wording and interesting angles.
	She has been given the word to go.
	You're right.
	They've been given this CIA broadcasting system.
	Yep.
	Has been given the word.
	That's why Brennan's been cut loose.
	He'll be probably on one of these shows.
	They're...
	I don't know.
	They don't want Gnome.
	That's all I can say.
	She's a danger because she kicked ass.
	They're trying to cut her off at the knees here, but it's a little too early in the game.
	By the way, Sturgis...
	And she's more of a charmer than these people.
	Brennan, she's been...
	Good luck with that.
	She has been getting physically...
	And I hate to say this, but we can do stuff like this on the show.
	She's been getting physically ugly.
	Huh.
	Because I've watched her most of her career, and she is literally, her visage is very slowly changing because of whatever toxins that she's creating with this bad journalism and meanness.
	She's mean.
	Madam and all the rest, very lopsided reporting.
	She is physically looking...
	Unattractive.
	It happens when you are eating yourself up on the inside.
	I think that's, you know, no joy in her life.
	And she knows that there's rottenness.
	It's rotten.
	It's a rotten business she's in.
	It's rotten to the core.
	She is really not looking good.
	Anyway, that's just something, again, that we'd be fired for on any other broadcast or anything we're even mentioning.
	Oh, you're talking about somebody's woman's appearance!
	Woman's appearance!
	Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
	The motorcycle rally that she held in her state in August was responsible for seeding the Midwest outbreak.
	What do you make of her defense?
	Well, look, I think it is important to look at the vulnerable population.
	Hold on a second.
	Her defense was...
	That's bullshit.
	That was her defense.
	She said...
	Yeah, her defense was just bullshit.
	The numbers are wrong.
	The numbers are wrong.
	Yeah, and it was lies.
	I like the $12 billion, by the way.
	That's a typical paper that you do at a university.
	Well, you know, because of this bike rally, $12 billion in damage was done.
	Okay.
	Well, look, I think it is important to look at the vulnerable population and hospital capacity and how many people are being hospitalized and dying from the infection as an important metric.
	But you also have to look at prevalence.
	Certainly back when we were having the first and the second and even the third wave of infection, Trevalence was an important predictor of overall morbidity from the infection before we had a vaccine.
	If you look at post-July 1st, and the reason why I picked July 1st is because before July 1st, we really didn't know how to treat COVID. We were treating it literally with pepsin and hydroxychloroquine.
	But after July 1st, we had data from the UK study.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, really?
	No, we weren't.
	What?
	How could you be literally treating it with hydroxychloroquine when it was foreboding?
	Isn't that interesting, huh?
	That's a real interesting flub.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because before July 1st, we really didn't know how to treat COVID. We were treating it literally with pepsin and hydroxychloroquine.
	But after July 1st, we had the data from the UK study, the recovery trial, that told us that dexamethasone, the steroid, was very effective at cutting mortality.
	We started to use blood thinners.
	There was also poo-pooed dexamethatrin, whatever it is.
	Because that was part of the whole zinc package.
	You put a little steroid.
	That was also poo-pooed by the media.
	It was very effective at cutting mortality.
	We started to use blood thinners on patients.
	We were intubating less aggressively.
	So practice of medicine dramatically improved after around that time period.
	If you look at post-July 1st in terms of deaths per capita by state, South Dakota is the last.
	Arizona is second to last.
	Mississippi, Alabama, North Dakota.
	Those are the states that come in last in the nation in terms of deaths per capita.
	So, you know, I think that the states that didn't implement astringent measures, they did pay a price for it.
	And I don't think that you can explain that away.
	I think it's just a fact.
	What price?
	You know, they will argue that they maybe didn't take the same economic hit as states that imposed restrictions.
	But they did pay a price for it in terms of higher death rates.
	What?
	It's complete.
	He's saying the opposite of what he just said.
	They were the lowest.
	Okay, let's summarize.
	He said that South Dakota was last in terms of deaths per capita.
	Yes.
	Does last mean they had more deaths per capita?
	Yes.
	That's the only possibility with what he said.
	But then he said, Mississippi, all these states, as far as I know, I never heard them being a problem.
	I know Texas was high, so you tell me South Dakota was higher than Texas?
	That's why we shut down.
	Very confusing.
	Now, I don't want everyone to get all excited about South Dakota.
	I have to remind you, South Dakota is also the state that brought us this public service announcement.
	I'm on meth.
	I'm on it.
	I'm on it too.
	So am I. So am I. I'm on it.
	Math is not someone else's problem.
	It's everyone in South Dakota's problem.
	Yeah!
	And we need everyone to get on it.
	I'm on it.
	I'm on it.
	I'm on it too.
	The worst public service announcement in the state's history.
	I'm on it.
	Well, I'm sure Kristi Noem produced that after she organized the rally.
	The rally.
	Yes, the rally.
	Now, so a lot of what is taking place is propaganda.
	I mean, pure, pure, pure propaganda.
	It really gets beautiful when it's obvious that it's propaganda.
	We have had another shutdown of Auckland in New Zealand for one person who had maybe an asymptomatic case shut down Auckland for a week.
	But it's okay because this is what you're supposed to do.
	This is how it works and this is New Zealand Prime Minister.
	Here's Jacinda who's going to tell you what they've been doing.
	As we enter our second full day of alert level restrictions, we drum in that messaging around the dangers of COVID pretty diligently for a full two-week period of sustained propaganda.
	There you go.
	She's just saying it.
	Just saying it.
	Sustained propaganda.
	Can you interpret the context of that?
	As we enter our second full day of alert level restrictions, we drum in that messaging around the dangers of COVID pretty diligently for a full two-week period of sustained propaganda.
	It's about telling the slaves that it's scary outside.
	Full propaganda.
	She used propaganda.
	I don't think you can interpret any differently.
	Maybe it's different in New Zealand?
	Because propaganda...
	The word is...
	You look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary and you get the word.
	Here I get.
	Information especially of biased or misleading nature used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.
	Is this a flub?
	Misleading is the key word within that definition.
	And is this a flub?
	Or is she serious?
	Does she think that...
	She could just be an idiot.
	Or is this war is peace and now propaganda is good information that could also be taking place.
	Let's turn the word propaganda into something positive here.
	There you go.
	We've got to spin it.
	So did you hear about using the Chinese COVID vaccine?
	I've heard something about it, but I don't know.
	I got a clip here that was sent in by Derby Dyke.
	I don't know where he got this clip, but it was apparently overheard a conversation between somebody and a buddy, I guess.
	Yeah.
	What is it called?
	It's called Chinese COVID vaccine.
	Oh, that would make sense.
	Hey, bro.
	I also wanted to let you know that I was in New York this weekend for a wedding, and I got the vaccine, but it was the, I guess, the lesser-researched Chinese one.
	But they said that so far they haven't seen any side effects.
	But if I see any side effects, then I'll definitely let you know.
	But as of right now, there's nothing that I can see.
	There's a side effect for the effects.
	So if you would like to get one, I can make you a point.
	No problem.
	I hope everything is okay with you and have a good day.
	Okay, bye.
	Classic.
	Good one.
	Now, here is another bit of confusing information.
	Dr.
	Alsterholm.
	Dr.
	Death.
	The guy who's been talking about the, it's a hurricane.
	It's a hurricane coming.
	It's only six weeks out.
	We're all going to die.
	It's going to be a spike.
	You have no idea what you're talking about.
	You are crazy.
	Now listen to him.
	We are seeing almost no viral respiratory pathogens today in our pediatric population.
	Wouldn't that...
	Pertain to mask wearing somehow?
	I'm just saying if you have no viral pathogens, don't you need this mask a problem?
	If you go look at our hospitalization rates right now for kids, it is dramatically below what we've seen in recent years.
	If you look at influenza activity, same thing, way below what we would normally expect to see.
	Now you can't say it's just because of mitigation because frankly we haven't done all that well with mitigation with COVID-19.
	Look at all the cases we've had.
	So if in fact it were just that, you would expect to see at least some activity with flu and with the other viral respiratory pathogens.
	So I think there's something going on here that Mother Nature is doing across a diverse area of the world that we just don't understand.
	And we have to acknowledge that.
	Where is your science?
	Shut up now.
	That's your scientist?
	Mother Nature!
	Wow.
	Mother Nature!
	We've got to acknowledge Mother Nature is smarter than we are.
	Why are these people even on the air?
	Because he was good at the fear-mongering.
	This is his podcast.
	He's not on the air.
	And he is in the team.
	He's in the Biden team.
	Everyone's going nuts.
	Truth coming out everywhere.
	Justin Trudeau, PM du Canada.
	Science has also ensured that our children are inheriting a cleaner, healthier planet.
	Research is important.
	It improves our lives every day.
	And that's exactly why we must continue to support it.
	Today, we're taking another historic step forward.
	What?
	Instead of historic, he says hysteric.
	He said hysteric.
	Hysteric, historic step forward.
	Today, we're taking another hysteric, historic step forward.
	Truth comes out, baby.
	Truth comes out.
	Well, I do.
	I am very grateful, actually, for one thing about COVID. COVID finally, this last Sunday, put the dagger into the heart of Hollywood.
	The Golden Globes was the biggest train wreck of the century.
	Oh, you know, that reminds me.
	It was beautiful.
	Yeah, it was terrible.
	I turned it off.
	I'm an award show whore.
	I turned it off.
	The ratings?
	Year over year?
	Want to take a guess?
	I already know the numbers.
	I read the trades.
	60% lower than last year.
	1.2 rating in the demo of 1849.
	That's cable.
	MTV does better.
	MTV does better.
	That is unbelievable.
	Now, also...
	They did everything wrong.
	Besides the technology, which is how in the world...
	Here's what it did to me.
	It showed the world that without the tight scripts, the cameras, the producers, whatever else you need to make Hollywood function, the actors...
	Are just numbnut dipshits.
	I mean, you had Catherine, what's her name, O'Hare or whatever her name is from Schitt's Creek, with her acceptance speech, and then whoever that idiot was next to him, her husband, I don't know, it could have been Robert De Niro, I don't know who that was, he's playing something on his phone and he's doing stuff.
	Everything was wrong about it.
	And then the first two awards you give are to British guys most people can't even understand once his mic was working.
	You can't understand that in America.
	It was so stupid.
	And it showed.
	It's over.
	It's done.
	Toast.
	Stick a fork in it.
	This is the Wizard of Oz moment.
	This curtain has finally fallen.
	We see them for what they are.
	If...
	You laughing at that?
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, you've been making this kind of...
	All it needs to do is...
	It can go from zero to 100 just by bringing back in the production values and the hot shots and the guys who know what they're doing.
	This was a train wreck because it couldn't be anything other than a train wreck.
	This stupid idea to begin with.
	Everything being done, it looked like a...
	It was worse than what you get on YouTube.
	It was a Zoom call TV show.
	Nobody's going to watch it.
	It's got nothing to attract you.
	I found it odd that the two hosts immediately go after the organization that hired them.
	They had to do that because of the controversy, and it's the Hollywood Foreign Press.
	The Hollywood Foreign Press doesn't care.
	They do whatever you want to do.
	They got $60 million from NBC for this show.
	Ha ha ha!
	It could be a lot of make-goods for the next few months.
	But, okay, so we have a disagreement.
	I think that some magic has been damaged.
	I was that type of a celebrity at one point in my life, and there's certain things you do and you don't do, and when you don't do it, it can go downhill really quickly, and the media is very happy to get you.
	But the biggest problem is that the same group of people, Hollywood, are the ones that gave Governor Andrew Cuomo an Emmy Award.
	Well, there is your humor.
	Well, but here's what's interesting.
	He killed, is responsible for the death of thousands of elderly in New York.
	And so is that show!
	Hollywood, and I'm putting cable news in Hollywood, they sucked up to him, they gave him the award, he was hanging out with his brother, and so then it comes out that he was a liar and a possible killer.
	And so what do they do?
	Like, oh crap, we've been completely complicit in sucking up to this guy.
	We can't let anyone see that we didn't do any investigative work.
	Oh!
	Me too moment!
	And now it's all, no one cares about the dead people.
	No, no, no.
	Me too, me too!
	They really think American citizens are dumb.
	I don't think we are that dumb.
	Not that dumb.
	Not that dumb.
	I've got a couple other COVID things to get out of.
	We also need to do vaccines because that's next, so we can't just pass it on by.
	Well, you start off with the COVID. My favorite thing is the COVID. I have a report from South Africa, which is one of the few African countries that actually has lots of cases.
	Mm-hmm.
	And it's kind of interesting because we always talk about how black folk in the United States, you know, you had that great clip with Wendy Williams saying, I'm not taking it.
	Well, what's the reason then for the South Africans?
	Except maybe Bill Gates.
	Not taking their vaccine.
	And the number of South African blacks that won't take the vaccine is pretty high.
	Here, listen to this.
	COVID vaccine in South Africa.
	What do you think the number...
	Well, I'm not going to ask for you to guess.
	But here, play the report.
	To third, some of the reasons people are giving for not wanting to be vaccinated in your report.
	But just how widespread is this skepticism in South Africa?
	This is very wide, especially considering the researches or surveys that we have had.
	We have had two major surveys here in South Africa.
	In fact, there are three.
	There is one from the global IP, Thank you very much.
	Obviously, this is not a small group of people at the corner there, but it's across Christian, across religions, across tradition.
	Quite a number of people in a lot of corners here saying they are not prepared to take the vaccine as yet.
	Do you want to know why?
	Bill Gates.
	They're fucking smart, that's why.
	They're smart people.
	And...
	Interestingly, producer Toby did some analysis for us on the excess death numbers because that is something that you really can't dispute.
	More people died than last year.
	I doubt they're faking deaths.
	What they died of is something else.
	So what we've been taught now for over a year is that COVID... It disproportionately strikes black and brown communities and communities of color.
	We can all recite it.
	Black and brown communities and communities of color.
	Disproportionately.
	This is a lie.
	And it shows from the UK excess deaths.
	So this is good because we don't have African Americans in the UK. We've got lots of brown people.
	Lots of very black people.
	There were 109...
	Let me see.
	The excess death number, 109,000 in the UK, year over year.
	Of the death numbers, 128,077 were COVID-related.
	Okay?
	So...
	I'm sorry?
	You said K... And you pointed out on the last episode that even though this with COVID is very wishy-washy and who the hell knows if it was responsible or you just had it or you fell off your motorcycle and you had COVID, it's kind of irrelevant because the real question is, what is the average weighted age of all of the excess deaths?
	I think we know the answer to that.
	79.4.
	Yeah, 80.
	So, instead of the truth, which is Older people are disproportionately affected by COVID. They're doing this racial thing, which is a lie.
	That's your number.
	80-year-olds are dying.
	So, UK, with your great social care system, not so great.
	It's all old people who died.
	You don't care about old people.
	And that is something they just don't want to admit.
	That the whole system for elderly care is rotten throughout the whole world, no doubt.
	Certainly for public elderly care.
	I think you might be wrong.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	You said they don't care.
	I think they do care.
	They want to kill the old people.
	Yeah, okay.
	Yes, I'm sorry.
	But you have to not care about the old people to care to want to kill them.
	So it does cancel each other out.
	You're right.
	It's fine.
	No.
	I think the Democrats have been...
	Even though the baby boomers aren't in that group, they're coming up on it, and it's getting fairly apparent to me that the Democrats, and I'm going to say that...
	I would like to kill off the old people because it's a burden on society.
	And that's what Cuomo...
	I think Cuomo overtly did what he did.
	I know it doesn't make any...
	No, no, it doesn't.
	No, wait, wait.
	Let's go back because it does make sense because his largest lobby group is the Hasidic Jews who have large investments in the elderly care homes.
	And for him to send patients there was automatic money in the bank for them.
	It's just an accusation.
	I can't prove it.
	But that seems like a very good motivator, especially if you're a bumbling idiot, you don't really know what's going on.
	Or maybe he's just evil.
	Yeah, throw him in there.
	And if anyone benefited, yeah, man.
	They got room now for new patients.
	And they made extra cash on every COVID patient that was sent to the elderly homes.
	That's the accusation about Cuomo, but no, no, no.
	He rubbed up against somebody.
	Not even that.
	After the break, I have his apology in total.
	And I'm noticing a few interesting things stylistically that he's doing that Biden does, too.
	I've been tracking the Biden...
	I'll explain it later.
	I'm just saying that we do have the whole thing for people to hear.
	I have...
	An important update on people who have received the vaccine.
	This is now leaking into the mainstream, local only, about side effects after having the second shot.
	And first we go to CBS Boston.
	I'm ready, yeah.
	Walpole Police Chief John Carmichael.
	That wasn't bad at all.
	Who got a vaccination about a month after he was sick with COVID-19.
	We checked back to find out how he felt in the days following the shock.
	By the second day, it was like I got the fever and the chills and the headache.
	One day, as he drove home that week...
	The pain in my lymph nodes was radiating down my arm, it was radiating into my chest.
	It was something I've never felt before, so I actually pulled into the fire department.
	He ended up in an ambulance.
	In people who've had COVID-19, their first shot is boosting their immune response that's already there from having had the disease.
	Dr.
	Paul Sachs is director of the Infectious Disease Clinic at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
	Younger people are getting more side effects than older people, but not always.
	CDC records the I-team analyzed show 19,873 Americans reporting side effects after COVID-19 vaccinations.
	A little more from Pfizer, 64%, 36% Moderna.
	In Massachusetts, 540 reported side effects, including 97 ER visits and 71 hospitalizations.
	The records show the vast majority were women, 81%.
	Men can feel sick too, though.
	Fever landed him in the ER. We took the temperature and it was 105.5.
	This is something we need to recognize happens regularly and to give people the chance not only to go get the vaccine but to recover from it afterwards.
	What happened to might be just super painful.
	What's this 105.5 fever?
	What's this my lymph nodes are burning all the way down my arms?
	Liar, liar.
	Bill Gates on fire.
	The lymph node thing is pretty high on the list of side effects.
	I think that could be dangerous to your health, how your lymph nodes are affected.
	I don't know.
	I'm not a doctor.
	Dr.
	Bill is a doctor.
	You can get a lot of...
	Another report coming in are these false positives for cancer.
	Right, right.
	I want to stay on these side effects because I have a note that I need to read as well.
	But first, let's go to Ben Stein.
	Ben Stein, very famous for Ben Stein's money.
	Take my money, spend his money.
	Bueller.
	Bueller!
	Bueller!
	Yeah.
	Ben Stein reports back.
	I think he's in Israel.
	It looks like it.
	I'm not sure.
	And I think he makes reference to it.
	But just listen to his side effects.
	I mean, he's got to be in his 60s.
	A word of warning to you, my fellow Americans, or whatever you are.
	I had the COVID booster, the Moderna, about four or five days ago.
	And I am still feeling wild side effects from it.
	Like I had the worst flu in the world, extreme shortness of breath, a dizziness, fatigue, extremely irrational thinking.
	It has just been devastating.
	I'm glad I got it.
	Sort of, I don't know, a little bit glad and also not quite so glad.
	But it has just got to be told to people, us people, we people, us people.
	What does he mean, us people, we people?
	Do you mean Jews, Ben Stein?
	It's a little confusing to me.
	To be told to the people, us people, we people, us people, that this booster is a killer.
	I mean, it's not going to kill you, but it is very, very strong.
	beware that's your bumper sticker this booster is a killer it's so bad that now oh well this is being considered some doctors say we need a vaccine holiday They want the Biden administration to establish a one-time federal holiday to give people more time to get their shots and to raise awareness.
	And to recover, to recover, you need days to recover from this.
	And please, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the final encore performance by Miss Dolly Parton of her career and perhaps life.
	Well, hey, it's me.
	I'm finally going to get my vaccine.
	I'm so excited.
	I've been waiting a while.
	I'm old enough to get it and I'm smart enough to get it.
	So I'm very happy that I'm going to get my Moderna shot today.
	And I wanted to tell everybody, I think you should get out there and do it too.
	I haven't changed one of my songs to 50 occasions.
	It goes, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
	I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate.
	Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine.
	Because once you're dead, then that's a bit too late.
	I love it.
	I really hope she doesn't get too badly affected.
	But it's inevitable.
	This is happening everywhere.
	And I have an update from Bad Chad, our EMT from Colorado.
	And it's not good.
	You recall Chad after being bullied by his colleagues, pressured, and what the hell I'm young attitude.
	He had severe side effects after receiving his second shot.
	And the mental craziness that Ben Stein described.
	A little bit of that, yeah.
	He couldn't put words together, thought he was having a stroke.
	Seems like more than a little bit when you can't put words together.
	A quick update, says Bad Chad.
	After my pseudo-stroke last week, I have also contracted shingles.
	Oh, geez.
	I'm 42.
	The chicken pox virus that has been lazing around in my nerves for the past 35 years just randomly decided to wake up now.
	Again, no way to know whether this is vaccine related.
	No way to ask.
	Any doctor or health care provider that I would have immediate access to only has their expert opinion to offer, which is based on someone else's expert opinion.
	My doctor's not a scientist.
	They mostly work in an if-then sort of world of diagnosis and prescription.
	They are not equipped to deal with in hypotheticals.
	So that's a new turn.
	Super fun.
	I get to look forward to four to six weeks of painful lesions.
	I would have preferred to take my chances with COVID-19.
	Worse still, a colleague of mine, again, there's no way to definitely link the two, but he got his second dose and then developed.
	Yeah!
	Type 1?
	Went to the ER, finds out his blood glucose level is five times normal because his pancreas stopped making insulin, so now he's being fitted with an insulin pump, and as a 30-year-old gets to spend the rest of his life as a diabetic.
	He too has questions but no one will answer.
	The vaccine is safe and effective and really, what do the answers matter?
	He's a diabetic now and even if it could be linked to the vaccine, there's no way to hold Moderna or Pfizer or any of them responsible.
	It just doesn't matter.
	I am embarrassed that I was bullied into this stupid shot.
	Pissed, frustrated, but mostly embarrassed.
	I knew better.
	Chad's a friend, so I know him.
	He's not a guy that is going to whine about something.
	And he's a medical professional.
	He's been doing this all his life.
	This is very, very troubling.
	And, take into account from another one of our producers, our local hospital is having a hard time staffing its ER department.
	After the staff were all given the Moderna vaccine, my wife, a nurse in another department, had Pfizer and experienced no adverse effects.
	One of our friends who had the Moderna vaccine experienced the same migraine-like reaction as the listener who wrote in on the last show.
	So, this is troubling.
	We were definitely promised maybe really, really hurt, but none of this other stuff, none of it, Well, they'll just say it's outliers.
	Most people get through the whole thing without a problem whatsoever.
	Yeah.
	Meanwhile, of course, the Catholic Church says you can't take the Johnson& Johnston vaccine.
	Ah, yes.
	Yes.
	And I was wondering, I heard about this from my daughter, she says, and I said, what is that all about?
	So I did find an explanation for it, if anyone's interested, and this is the COVID, this clip is called COVID vaccine fetal cells.
	...protect as many Americans as possible, as soon as possible, but now there may be an obstacle.
	Some church leaders are raising concerns about the Johnson& Johnson vaccine because cell lines derived from abortions were used in its development.
	Joining us now is NPR's Tom Jelton.
	Hi, Tom.
	Hey, Ari.
	Explain which church leaders are raising these concerns and what are they saying?
	Well, not surprisingly, Ari, it's those that focus most on abortion, notably U.S. Catholic bishops, also some evangelicals.
	In both cases, we have statements that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is morally compromised because fetal cell lines were used in its development.
	They say that if people have a choice in vaccines, they should avoid the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
	If they don't have a choice, they could go ahead and get whatever vaccine is available.
	Of course, as you know right now, most people don't have that choice.
	Explain what they mean when they say fetal cell lines were used in its development.
	Like, how were they used?
	Well, fetal cell lines have long been used in developing vaccines, not only.
	Not to get too technical about it, but my understanding is that cells from human fetuses can be used kind of like little factories to develop viruses that then become a part of a vaccine.
	They can also be used during the testing process to determine the efficacy of a vaccine.
	In the case of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, that's the only way fetal cells were used.
	But in the Johnson& Johnson It's because fetal cells were used more directly.
	The cell line in that case came from a fetus that was aborted back in 1985.
	Not the fetal cells themselves, but a line that was reproduced from those cells.
	That's what gave rise to this concern.
	So the fetal cells were also involved in the Pfizer and Moderna process.
	Seems to me if there's involved at all, you can't just say, well, just like, you know, how much is a little bit?
	Can we cross this line?
	This is like nitpicking.
	If you want to know which vaccine to take, which is the best, you know there's only one person who has the answer.
	And that is Team Cat!
	Team Halo.
	Dr.
	Cat on TikTok.
	She knows what's going on.
	She can tell you what to do.
	Dr.
	Cat, take it away.
	Hey, Dr.
	Cat Epidemiologist.
	A lot of you ask me what's the best vaccine to get.
	So I have a tip for you.
	The best vaccine for you to get is the first vaccine that's available to you.
	All of the vaccines that are currently approved or about to be approved will keep you out of the ICU and alive, which is the goal of any vaccine program.
	Especially people in my comments that are saying, well, I'm high risk, so I want to wait for Pfizer or Moderna or whatever brand you think is better.
	You definitely are somebody as a high risk person that shouldn't be waiting and you should be getting vaccinated sooner and not later.
	So the best vaccine is the first one available to you.
	I can't wait to sue her.
	She deserves a lawsuit.
	Idiot.
	Now, what's really troubling is Israel.
	And I started paying attention to what's happening in Israel regarding vaccinations and coronavirus the minute they announced the green passport.
	And the green passport is the passport that will let you in, will let you do things, will let you have a life.
	Coincidentally...
	The European Union COVID passport is also now being branded as a green passport.
	I'm pointing this out because it's not about COVID. If it's green, you know what it's going to be used for in the future.
	It'll be used maybe to track your carbon usage or waste, just your physical nastiness on the planet.
	It'll all go into green passports.
	Troubling, troubling, troubling development with these passports.
	And then you find out That Israel is pretty much a petri dish right now and is being used as such, according to the CEO of Pfizer.
	Pfizer did a huge deal with Israel for their vaccine.
	Here's Albert Bourla.
	Obviously, post phase three, you've continued to collect data.
	What have you learned about your vaccine?
	Is it more effective than we were originally told?
	Does it have weaknesses that have been exposed?
	What have you found out?
	A lot of things and we keep analyzing it and I believe Israel has become the world's lab right now because they are using only our vaccine in the States and they have vaccinated a very big part of their population so we can study both economic and health indexes.
	What we've seen it is that the vaccine efficacy Okay, two things.
	One, Israel is the world's lab.
	Okay.
	And two...
	I thought it didn't matter when you took your second shot.
	Now, the CEO of Pfizer says your second shot after seven days more effective than after 14 days.
	Where's this news?
	This is unbelievable.
	It gets better.
	Sir Brian of London, who lives in Israel...
	Also very active in podcasting 2.0.
	He sent me a clip of Ilana Daniels.
	She is member of the RAPE party, which means be healthy, a brand new party.
	They started because they were against what was happening, against what was going down with Israel being turned into a lab, against the deal being cut with with Pfizer and apparent forced vaccinations.
	And she gave us a little breathy rundown of her outrage in a in an impromptu live session.
	They took away the head of the party's medical license, and they removed our platforms from Facebook.
	And now they won't let the media even write about us.
	So we want to ask all the international, anywhere we can get, to get to publicize what we are saying.
	It's a very bad situation here.
	They're not letting children as young as 16 to take their matriculation exams without taking this injection.
	They are, of course, insisting people for work.
	They're making this green passport where half the population cannot get into theaters.
	Or malls or all sorts of things unless they've taken the vaccination.
	They're creating a medical apartheid.
	They have now issued, just this morning, they made it that they're allowed to send each person's private medical records to the local municipality so that they'll know who's taken the injection or not.
	They're making people wear an ankle bracelet, security bracelet, when they come back from traveling.
	It's absolutely insane.
	Now, she is very upset and she's not entirely right on the ankle bracelet.
	In fact, the bracelet is a hell of a lot more entertaining.
	You can see behind me, it's largely deserted.
	There are four flights that are scheduled to arrive this afternoon and passengers on those flights will be part and parcel of a new pilot program that is being launched today and which is hugely controversial.
	A year ago, one would not have imagined that we'd be in this situation.
	Now, when you arrive in Israel, you have one of two choices.
	Either you quarantine in an army hotel, or you can go home and do a home quarantine for 10 days, but now you have to go home with an electronic monitoring system.
	This entails wearing an electronic bracelet either around your wrist or your ankle.
	Now this bracelet is part of a tracking system.
	It's connected to a smartphone which is connected to a sticker that is placed on one of the walls of a person's home.
	The company monitoring the whole system will receive some kind of signal the moment the person steps foot out of their home.
	So it's a way to try and stop people breaking The company that has designed the technology says that everything is safe and that people should not be worried.
	In fact, it is not as intrusive this technology as other apps that are currently being used in Israel.
	The company has also stressed the point that it's not monitoring any kind of personal information.
	It's not recording any information.
	And at the same time, it's not taking pictures.
	It's also said that the bracelet is, to quote, comfortable, that it is efficient, that people won't even know that they have it on them.
	It's very light and it's waterproof.
	They've actually gone so far as to call it a freedom bracelet, saying that it gives passengers arriving in Israel the choice to do an army hotel quarantine or a home quarantine.
	Now, that's not Orwellian.
	It's a freedom bracelet.
	You have the freedom to stay home.
	Stay in your house.
	Don't move away from the sticker.
	This is concerning because it's a time when I get a Redbook entry that I'm really not happy about.
	These passports are real and they're happening and I want to listen to this one Wall Street Journal report and then we can talk about what the passports will be because they're inevitable.
	Julio Castañeda is flying to New York and before he can board his flight, he has to prove that he's COVID free.
	You download the app on your phone and it has all your information.
	This is A-OK Pass, a digital health passport that verifies whether someone has tested negative for the coronavirus or gotten inoculated.
	It's also known as a vaccine passport and meant to be easier to use and more reliable than paper immunization cards.
	Medical results often are not even printed in a way that it's easy to interpret.
	Our system can verify health records.
	Since the pandemic has devastated the travel industry, airports in Rome, Paris, and Singapore, as well as airlines like JetBlue and United, are experimenting with similar apps.
	They will compete for a slice of the global market for travel health services and certifications, which AOK Pass estimates is worth nearly $20 billion.
	Travel industry experts say this type of digital health certificate could be a game changer, not just for tourism, but live events and schools.
	So here's how digital health passports work.
	Travelers who weren't able to take a COVID-19 test before departure at this airport in Rome can get swabbed at a testing site set up by the airport.
	While waiting for the result, passengers can download the AOK Pass app and input their personal information like their birthday and email address.
	Within 30 minutes, the result is available.
	If the traveler tests negative, the app creates a unique QR code that serves as proof.
	I believe this clip tells us exactly what is coming.
	First, there's a $20 billion industry which is already being rolled out by making testing available at the airport.
	This clip had some video of it.
	And you see poor schmuck travelers in cubicles with sticks being jabbed into their face.
	They will never do a vaccine-only passport.
	The way this is going to go down, A, to tap into the money, is it can be you're vaccinated or you have a recent test that shows that you are negative.
	And the whole idea is just like TSA frequent, you know, the clear pass, TSA pre, is if you take the vaccine, you won't have this hassle.
	Otherwise, you're going to have to get a test every single time you get on an airplane, and it's going to be everywhere.
	And it will be domestic in the United States, too.
	And this will naturally force people towards getting the vaccine.
	Well, let's hope there's some really talented lawyers out there that put a stop to this idea.
	Yeah.
	Breaking news about the Johnson& Johnson fetal matter vaccine.
	And this morning, Johnson& Johnson saying they'll soon test their single-shot dose on children, even newborns and pregnant women.
	There's something sick about putting newborn cells into newborns.
	Mmm!
	Yeah, it's kind of ironic.
	Okay, this is not a vaccine, people.
	It's a medical device.
	They are lying to you.
	It's not a vaccine.
	It's a medical device that works on a nuclear, what do you call it, a molecular level.
	It's disgusting.
	Well, that was the most depressing opening for quite a while.
	Well, then, let me see if I can make you feel better with these words from one of our favorite preachers.
	Before we begin, let's pray.
	Let's pray.
	Heavenly Father, our hearts...
	There's nothing like someone say Heavenly Farts.
	Heavenly Father, our hearts...
	Oh, man...
	Let me see if there's anything else we need to do on the...
	I mean...
	Well, I have two clips.
	I'm sure you've got some vaccines.
	That I want to get rid of.
	And this is a local...
	You did your local thing on Austin.
	I'm going to do this...
	This is our local thing.
	This is KQED, our local station.
	On the reopenings, because we're going to be reopening and you're going to hear some reporting, especially in clip number two.
	Some very talented reporters...
	KQED is local.
	Oh, sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	Local women that work at KQED. But here's the opening.
	Is it important that they're local women?
	Is it just important that they're local or just talented?
	No, you said they're just a local talent.
	Talent is talent.
	Yeah, I got a talent.
	KQED is Leslie McClurg.
	She spoke with afternoon host Tara Seiler.
	And Leslie, these counties can now join San Mateo and Marin, which moved from the purple to the red tier last week.
	Remind us of what changes we can expect under the red tier.
	It's lots of fun stuff.
	It'll make things like shopping a lot easier because more people will be allowed inside a store at one time with limited capacity based on the county.
	Some fun activities can now be available, like the Ferris wheel, for example, inside Golden Gate Park.
	Here's a pretty formal list from James R. Williams.
	He's the county council in Santa Clara County.
	Retail, museums, zoos and aquariums, movie theaters, gyms and fitness centers, and significantly, indoor dining.
	Woo!
	And Fin Shopper.
	Is that it?
	That's clip one.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, then we go to clip two where we also have London Breed comes in here and she talks about people wearing masks.
	We have the mask, mask, mask.
	And then we have a kind of an in-debt, you know, we have these reporters that get paid real money.
	And they have a limited vocabulary, but it seems...
	And Mayor London Breed emphasized that this is really good news, really good news, things are opening up, but we have to be careful to prevent, you know, these lockdowns from happening again in the future.
	So that means that, for example, when you're at a restaurant waiting for your table, keep your mask on.
	When your waiter walks up to the table, put your mask on.
	When you go to the restroom, put your mask on.
	So, Leslie, yes, we have been here before in the red tier.
	What's to say that reopening won't put us right back into another surge?
	It's a really big, really big, really big question mark.
	I mean, I remember last fall when we went into the yellow tier in San Francisco and we were all thrilled that we were finally kind of out of the...
	Dark days.
	And it seemed like before I knew it, I was back reporting on the fact that the surges were really spiking, really spiking, really spiking.
	And so it really depends, really depends, really depends.
	And officials are really urging, really urging folks to take this really seriously, really seriously.
	Because if viral transmission goes up and we see spikes and cases rise and hospitalizations rise, these openings and closings are based on data.
	We will shut back down.
	So it all depends on how seriously and how careful we are as the public so that we won't go back to the purple tier and we move, hopefully, into the orange tier instead in a few weeks.
	John C. Dvorak, where do you find the time?
	No.
	The purple tier to the orange tier.
	No, no.
	Purple or red to orange.
	You've got to get these tiers correct.
	Yes, you have some great talent up there.
	Over there.
	Over there on the left.
	And with that, I feel it is time for me to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the PCR lowered in Ontario to 35, John C. Dvorak!
	Oh, there it is.
	Son of a Blue River!
	That's right, everybody.
	He doesn't drink any old American beer.
	He only drinks PBR! PBR! I had no idea there were so many Pabst Blue Ribbon songs in the universe.
	It's unbelievable.
	In the morning to you and in the morning to the dames and nights and everybody else listening to today's show.
	Dreb Scott at the top of our list.
	Hello.
	We have a lot of things to do and you keep doing this.
	We've been doing it for 14 years.
	I'm going to say in the morning to the troll room first.
	Oh, in the morning to the troll room, yeah.
	That is at noagendastream.com, where you can log in.
	You can troll along in the troll room.
	And, oh, Bemrose, why did you do that?
	See, now, Bemrose had to go do the troll count.
	That is just rude.
	That is just rude.
	I'm doing the troll count.
	Trolls, raise your hands!
	Okay, there you go.
	We got 1856.
	It is a Thursday, so it's reasonable.
	Unbelievable.
	Counting the trolls.
	During the height of COVID, we had 22.
	That's right, when people were home.
	NoagendaStream.com is where you can hang out, listen to all the live shows, live shows that are pre-shows, live shows that are shows before, after, and then just shows that roll out because everyone loves them.
	They're on NoagendaStream.com.
	All talk, no commercials, sometimes some cool commercial-free music with the double O. And when you're in there, you can ask for one of the last remaining invites for NoAgendaSocial.com, which is our social network, which is federated, so you can connect with any other Mastodon-type system.
	PleromaWorks, Gitmo.life have their own version, and we're locking it down at 10,000 to keep everything on this timeline in check, but that doesn't mean that you won't be able to participate and follow and be followed.
	And if you'd like an invite for that...
	Ask for it in the troll room and then sign up.
	Now, we need to thank the artist for our previous episode.
	This was episode 1325.
	We titled it Leap Aside for those who celebrated their birthday on the wrong day, on the 28th instead of the 29th.
	The artwork was brought to us by Mountain Jay.
	Nice piece.
	titled Diplomacy flying through the air with the curiously designed D, which looks a lot like the Democratic Party in the Diplomacy.
	That D is the Democratic Party's new logo.
	That's the logo, all right.
	Yeah.
	It was a very nice piece, and I'd love to talk about the other pieces that were on the art generator.
	However, sadly, and this is the downside of a value-for-value show, we had two problems with two of our infrastructure pieces this past week.
	One is noagendashow.net, which had already been experiencing problems updating.
	I was not able to get a hold of the dude named Ben, producer, who...
	Eric's searching all over for everybody, and so we decided to make a judgment call because it had been almost four days since an episode had updated.
	Second time this had happened in two weeks.
	So we just flipped it temporarily to noagendanation.com so at least you can get your most recent episode.
	Latest word is everything will be fixed and back to normal by today.
	However, no agenda.
	Art generator, we split up our duties on this, and John, you went looking for Sir Paul Couture, and what do we know about the art generator, seeing as it's still not online?
	The art generator will be down for today, and for, I don't know how, maybe next show, too.
	Paul's in the wind?
	In the wind?
	He's in the wind.
	So that means, have we had contact with him?
	No, it's not possible to get a hold of him.
	Okay.
	I have a pretty good idea how to get a hold of him, and I'm going to continue to try.
	But until we get a hold of him, this thing will be like this.
	This has happened with Paul before.
	Yeah.
	And...
	It'll be fixed eventually.
	So what we are going to do today is Darren O'Neill has been assigned the job of creating the art for two reasons.
	One, he always produces four pieces.
	One's always usable and can always win on any given show.
	Pressure's on for him, huh?
	Well, you don't want to say that.
	Yeah, I do.
	It's like, hey, Darren, don't choke.
	Don't choke.
	Moving forward, though, and this is sad because I love the distributed nature of the No Agenda show.
	We rely too much on our website for us not to be able to do anything if it goes down.
	And the same for the art generator.
	Although we have many backups, and I know people have made backups, we really need to move that into infrastructure that we can at least tap into.
	And Void Zero has said that he's very happy to work with, you know, Bemrose and all the guys who do the wizardry of everything else, certainly for the delivery of files.
	These things happen.
	Yeah, these things happen.
	Even when you don't have value for value, it happens.
	I mean, I remember the AOL update that was done with millions of people some years back, probably around 95.
	Did that go wrong?
	I can't remember what happened.
	It went down.
	They were down for days.
	Oh, gosh, I think I do remember that.
	What did people do?
	Wasn't there a baby boom at that time?
	It had nothing left to do at that point.
	Actually, it may have been earlier than that.
	It was before the internet really took off and kicked their ass, but...
	These sort of things happen, and we're sorry, but luckily we do have enough of a...
	The metastructure is fantastic, and I know Darren will come up with some pieces.
	Don't start everyone submitting.
	We'll get back to normal soon, and I don't want to discourage anybody else.
	And the only reason, again, we chose Darren is because he's extremely consistent, and he's always been doing this, and it's something that he can do.
	I mean, I... And it'll be good.
	If you ask me, it's a career moment.
	Yes, the only designated artist in the history of the show.
	And it makes it a heck of a lot harder for Dreb Scott to do our podcasting 2.0 images.
	So we'll see what he comes up with.
	Thank you to Dreb Scott for doing that.
	And more and more podcast apps are now showing the chapters, the transcripts.
	You can search inside of it.
	Newpodcastapps.com.
	Join the revolution.
	Everyone else is.
	All the cool kids are.
	Yeah, cool kids.
	Drep Scott actually is right at the top of our list.
	Yeah, which is, the guy does so much.
	He does all of these chapters for at least three shows I'm involved in, and then he donates.
	I mean, it's really, it's incredibly generous, our Drep.
	He's a prince.
	No, I take it back.
	He's not.
	He's a duke.
	He's a duke, baby.
	That's right.
	Jeff Scott, the Duke of Southern California Mega Region, came in with $1,326.33.
	That's a show club member.
	It is.
	It's a dynamite donation.
	Thank you so much.
	Of course, the Duke of Southern California's Mega Region, $1,326.33.
	He wants biscuit on my birthday, Biden holo, Trump massive dumps, and all plugged up TV clip attached.
	I don't know if you have that.
	Today, March 4th, is his birthday.
	Please hand me to the birthday list.
	I've never asked for any jingles, but I thought I'd indulge my birthday falls on a show day this year.
	Please also belatedly add Theodore Geisel to the birthday list for March 2nd.
	That's Dr.
	Seuss for anybody uninformed.
	Thank you for the amygdala protecting deconstruction twice weekly on Thursday, 73s.
	All right, 73s to you.
	Does he have a call sign?
	I probably wouldn't do that if he wants to be that anonymous.
	And was there any karma?
	No, he didn't say that either.
	All right, here we go.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	They did dumps.
	They call them dumps.
	Big, massive dumps.
	He was plugged up.
	Wow.
	Okay.
	Send me the clips.
	That was a good one.
	Okay.
	You did find the clip.
	Okay, great.
	Eric, now...
	And you have to go look for his email because his sister sent me a note saying, Eric sent you the note, but you can't get...
	Your email's not working to receive his note.
	I said, well, how did I get your note?
	Why don't you just attach it?
	And they got no answer back on that, so...
	You got the note.
	It was from him or from her?
	From him, Eric.
	Eric.
	I'm pretty sure I saw a Naus email come through.
	He came in with $376.53 from Petrolia, Ontario, Canada.
	And if you can find the note, or I can go to the next one, you can read the note after Vinny.
	I do not have anything recent from Eric Naus.
	I just don't have it, so I don't know what happened.
	Well, any mouse.
	The only mouse I have is from July last year, so I've looked at the mouse.
	Okay, well, that didn't work.
	Maybe it's his email problem and not ours.
	I'm guessing so, because Ann got to me very easily.
	All right, we'll send this a note.
	We can figure it out later.
	We'll fix it whenever you're good.
	Vinny and Aoife.
	Wow.
	Vinny and Ifa, that's a tough one to pronounce if you don't have a little guide there.
	Argyle, Texas, 33376.
	Hey guys, can you please read the following note?
	Oh, yes, that's the idea.
	I.T.M. John and Adam, and to all the mofos of Gitmo Nation, please credit this executive producership to the best podcast in the universe to my smoking, hot, cunning, and stunning wife, Sinead.
	And I knew how to pronounce it because there used to be a singer named Sinead.
	Still is, John.
	She's still around.
	Still bald?
	Yep.
	For it is her birthday today, 3-4.
	My daughter and I have been trying to figure out what to do for the woman we both love so dearly.
	And then it hit me.
	Her birthday falls on a show day.
	Alright!
	Bingo!
	We'd have so much more money if we did three shows a week.
	I informed our 10-year-old daughter of this, and we both agreed that the executive producership was the perfect gift for the perfect wife and perfect mother.
	So happy birthday, babe, mom!
	Furthermore, I'd like to express a big thank you to John, Adam, and all the producers out there for keeping this stream of truth and sanity going.
	No agenda is what the world needs now.
	What the world needs now more than ever.
	If we can all continue to do the work, quote-unquote, of hitting others in the mouth, I truly believe humanity stands a chance of survival.
	Best wishes to all of any in...
	What is it again?
	Ifa, ifa, ifa, ifa.
	Good luck with that one.
	Ha ha.
	Yuck, yuck, yuck.
	But my pronunciations.
	And if we may, a jingle request of a family favorite.
	Fromer.
	Not sure of the spelling, but it's the train guy.
	Foamer.
	It's Foamer.
	Like F-O-A-M-E-R. Guy foaming at the mouth.
	Get it?
	Dealer's choice of karma for all.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	I'll grab this one.
	Woo!
	Before you go, before you grab it, I will mention that the Zephyr did go by on time today, about 9.16 or so.
	Eight cars.
	Whoa.
	Without a male car, so that would have been a nine-car train, which is a lot for the Zephyr.
	So it's, it's, I think people are looking at, I can't fly by airplane, I'm gonna start taking the train.
	Ladies and gentlemen, we have an official Zephyr report.
	Let the guys over at CNBC Squawk Box know that we have a nine-car Zephyr.
	It could be replacing air travel, but it's good news, everybody.
	Bitcoin, 47,753.
	That's a false.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	Bob from Missouri sends 333.33.
	He figured out the special three-day, as it is.
	That was yesterday.
	3-3-2-1.
	So it was 3-3-3, and he got it.
	In the morning, thank you for your courage.
	A hearty jingle bingle to Midnight Mike.
	I don't know what a jingle bingle is.
	For my second donation, let it be known that karma is real.
	I deduced at the start of last month, within a few weeks, I had a bonus check announced to me.
	To all the douchebags out there, listen closely.
	Karma is only a bitch if you are a douche.
	No amount is too small, and imagine what the good mistress could return on a monthly value recognition plan.
	I agree.
	That's a very good point, Bob.
	The value-for-value model is spreading.
	In fact, I believe my church is plagiarizing the podfather.
	Well, now you go.
	There you go.
	During the collection of the offering, we are now told that giving is not just financial, but includes our time, talent, and our treasure.
	Really?
	Well, not ripping off me, ripping off Tina the Keeper.
	She's the one that came up with that for me.
	Is this tagline considered fair use within the public domain, or should I discover the perpetrator of the IP theft and demand?
	No agenda's one-third share for any excess benefit realized.
	I think that's possible exit strategy.
	You could give it a try.
	Yes, stealing from the church.
	Screaming dog karma for all the ladies and knights, please.
	I will join you at the roundtable soon.
	Bob from Missouri, the future Sir 10 cryptids.
	The future Sir 10 cryptids.
	There we go.
	you've got karma.
	Dustin Otto in Berrien Springs, 333.33.
	And it's a Rogan donation.
	Rogan donation.
	Please have the back office consider this dirty fiat as advertising for my company.
	Cuck bucks.
	Autoland Surveying.
	O-T-T-O. Adam, I was excited to hear you mention NFTs the other day.
	I bought a couple No Agenda NFT domains a couple months ago and would be happy to donate them to the cause.
	NFT art is a game changer for artists.
	The artist of the NFT receives a percentage of the NFT sale every time it is bought and sold.
	Getting No Agenda art on an NFT market?
	On an NFT marketplace would be great.
	Maybe a dude named Ben could build a DAP. That's a decentralized app.
	A specification for no agenda NFTs, no jingles, just some of that sweet goat karma.
	Yeah, this is the non-fungible tokens, which the NBA, but many others are doing it.
	People are making big bank on this.
	I think it's probably the initial coin offering of this period.
	It's kind of the ICO thing, so you'll see there'll be a lot of heat on it, and there'll be a lot of scamming and all kinds of issues.
	It's a cyclical thing.
	Doesn't mean that we don't mind scamming away.
	So, if we have, I think, Jack, producer Jack, who is going to go and see if he can find someone who can put that together for the art generator.
	You better hurry, because right now there's no art generator.
	And he wanted no jingle, some of the sweet goat karma.
	We will give you some of that sweet, sweet goat karma.
	Come on, goats, where are you?
	Goatees!
	You've got...
	Grant Nelson's in Placerville and he gave us 333.33.
	Placerville is our Hollywood producer.
	Oh, is it though?
	Brunetti's up in that neck of the woods and he's also in the wind.
	Haven't heard from him.
	Oh, no.
	He tweets me from time to time.
	ITM, please de-douche me.
	No, we got that.
	You've been de-douched.
	He may be tweeting you, but that doesn't mean he's not in the wind.
	He's not in the wind.
	My longtime buddy Rick B. of Elko, Nevada, punched me in the mouth last December.
	I've enjoyed every episode since.
	Rick says he also appreciates your show, but he's just, he's yet to donate.
	Please call him out as a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	For my jingle, I want Don't Trust China.
	I can use some karma.
	Grant, also Kilo India 6 Whiskey X-Ray Alpha.
	73, I'm assuming.
	Yeah, 73.
	Donald Trump, don't trust China.
	China is asshole.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Nicely.
	Andrew Ekternach, I'm guessing.
	33333.
	Isn't it nice to get these numbers?
	Very popular.
	I figured since it's 3-3-3 day, I'd donate part of my tax return to put myself two-thirds of the way to knighthood.
	Speaking of donations, Scott Post still hasn't donated.
	Uh-oh.
	I'm not sure...
	How many times I need to call him out as a douchebag?
	Douchebag!
	Before he gets the hint to spend you some money, send you some money.
	Or spend you some money.
	Thanks again for everything you guys do.
	Jingles, whole load, Fauci Wheeze, look at that juice.
	I'm gonna give you the whole load today.
	Oh my gosh!
	Can you see that juice?
	There you go.
	Sick people.
	One of the greatest clips ever.
	Yeah, it is.
	Jenna, Jenna, Jenna Damico, or Domenico, Damico, I'm sure, in Bellingham, Washington.
	333.33.
	And she writes, forgive me, Podfather, I've sinned.
	I've been around six months since my last donation.
	My birthday is 3-3.
	Bonus payout is 3-5.
	And the best way to celebrate such a good week with the fine folks of the No Agenda Nation.
	This donation should secure me a seat at the round table to which I have been wishing to join since I started listening.
	Way back around episode 700.
	I humbly request to be Dame J, protector of the pandas.
	Ooh.
	I assume she's on the list.
	Even several of my friends, sirs and dames, could use some jobs karma, but otherwise, thank you for your dedication, for keeping my eyes open.
	Jobs.
	Ohio 333. I need a dedouching.
	You've been dedouched.
	Jobs Been listening since Adam's first appearance on Rogan one more time.
	You don't want to play the jingle?
	Usually I do it the first time, but it's okay.
	We'll do it again.
	No, no, no, no.
	You did it.
	You did it.
	And find myself enjoying your show even more than his.
	No need for jingles.
	Just thank you for your services and helping me better understand the chaos that is going on in the world.
	It's a different kind of show for starters.
	Yeah.
	Our show is like a different kind of show.
	It's really more of an analysis show.
	Thanks for that.
	Interviews are harder to make.
	I hate to say it, but most interviewees aren't that interesting.
	Correct.
	I just wanted to call out Celine Smyta for being a douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	Because I hit her in the mouth, but she donated...
	Wait, she donated $100 last week and beat me to the pun.
	Oh, no, no, no, deduced, deduced, deduced, deduced.
	You've been deduced.
	It's not good.
	Confusing us.
	Thanks again for the show.
	I'm working on punching the mango keeper in the mouth.
	This is where it's so, you know, you look at the spreadsheet.
	It's not red for douche because we have color codings.
	And you're like, oh, Eric must have missed it.
	You see?
	Well, people can, you know, this is like reading from a prompter that you didn't write to copy.
	Yeah, yeah.
	We'll do it live!
	And you're cold reading.
	Yeah.
	So you could set somebody up with some pretty funny material.
	I'm not recommending that, by the way.
	You just reading it is pretty funny by itself.
	We all appreciate it.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	David Fugizotto in Saudi Arabia, I assume.
	No note, $333.
	He just sent in a thank you for your courage.
	No jingles, no karma.
	I hope he's okay.
	I mean, he's still stuck there.
	The family can't visit him.
	And he doesn't even send a note.
	I'm concerned.
	I want to check in.
	Well, at least he's...
	I'll have Tina check in with Dame Melody.
	Kevin Brockman in Earlville, Illinois.
	311-76.
	Hey guys!
	Been a while since I donated.
	I have no time or talent, so here's some treasure.
	I canceled my family's Spotify subscription at $12.99 a month.
	So here's a prepaid two-year subscription.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm saying to him.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Thanks, guys.
	I'm going to add another annoying YouTubism.
	Quote, if you like this donation, don't forget to like and subscribe.
	Thanks.
	Very annoying.
	And mash the like button.
	Oh, wait.
	I have...
	Hold on a second.
	I had that.
	Hold on a second.
	It's not mash.
	It's...
	Here it is.
	I have it here.
	Smash that like button and feed the algorithm.
	Smash that like button and feed the algorithm.
	That's what you do.
	Stephen Fuchs, Streamwood, Illinois, 23491, our first associate executive producer.
	Forgive me, Podfather.
	I had sinned.
	I had sinned.
	There's been too many shows since my last donation.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douche.
	Not that it matters to me, but just as a general rule, I like to let people know that douche is from the French word douche, which is shower, d-o-u-c-h-e.
	I have received far too much value out of the best podcasts in the universe that it would be wrong not to donate.
	That would be wrong.
	Almost six months ago, a No Agenda donation segment included a note from a fellow dude named Ben Producer looking to meet a like-minded gay Christian listener around his age in Chicago's suburbs to see where things might go.
	Sounded like the guy I've been searching for, so I reached out, and I'm happy to report that his dating karma was a success.
	Who needs Grindr when you have no agenda?
	It's a bumper sticker right there.
	I should note that we live only 33 minutes away from each other, and I met this handsome man while still on my 33rd trip around the sun.
	If that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
	Anyway, no S, I'm making this donation in celebration of his 30th birthday today, March 4th, I thought a donation to the podcast that brought us together would be a pretty good gift.
	That's a nice story.
	I like these stories.
	You said to make a donation amount mean something.
	Actually, what I said is making meaningful to you.
	That's important.
	So that can be just the value.
	Value is whatever it is to you.
	So make it meaningful to you.
	Which is why, Stephen says, I chose 234-91.
	Two for the two of us, three for March, his birthday month, four for the day of his birthday, and 91 for the year he was born.
	Happy birthday, Kurt!
	Jingle request, Pencey, Pelosi, Jobs, Karma, ISIS in America, some extra relationship karma, and a most recent, ooh, ISO that was on 1324.
	Ooh.
	Jobs.
	Jobs.
	Wait, I want to do it this way.
	Do it the other way.
	Ow!
	ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. You've got karma.
	Another gay connection made on the No Agenda show.
	A romance.
	Unbelievable since we're right-wing nuts.
	I know, and totally transphobe, homophobe, black-phobe, red-phobe, yellow-phobe.
	Phob!
	Phob-phob!
	We're also phob-phob.
	Phob-phob.
	We are phob-phob.
	I'm phob-phobic.
	I like phob-phob.
	Phob-phob.
	A good name for the show.
	Phob-phob.
	Dame Jennifer, 2333.
	There she is.
	There she is.
	And we have...
	I gotta skip a bunch.
	Hey, guys.
	Still my favorite.
	Here's your latest share of the ANA donations I've received recently.
	Please send some regular jobs and dating karma.
	I've had a total fail with the setup.
	After he saw the ANA channel.
	Ah!
	Well, no, that's not a fail.
	That's not a fail.
	To mention, be loser going in.
	That's the early warning sign, baby.
	That's the good news.
	So, not built to last, or that much of a surprise.
	But still, what a turd, she writes.
	Well, thank you for the sanity, XOXO Dame Jennifer.
	If I may, if we are able to be the grinder...
	I'm sure we can be the tinder.
	There's got to be a way that we can find the perfect mate for Dame Jennifer.
	Oh, half of South Carolina would love to go out with her.
	Yeah, but half of South Carolina doesn't listen to no agenda.
	So it's a very thin sliver that we've got to find.
	I'm going to give you some karma, Dame Jennifer.
	Thank you for all you do.
	You've got karma.
	All you do.
	I'm getting a little annoyed with my mouse.
	What's your mouse doing?
	Well, you know, it's like one of those optical mouses, but I don't know if the optics crap out after a while because it just dies and it's like, I don't know why.
	Maybe this battery desk is...
	Battery?
	No, no, it's not a battery thing.
	I guarantee that.
	Oh, maybe you don't have...
	Do you have a good pad?
	You're going to need a good pad for those optical mouses.
	I don't know.
	Where are we?
	Lisa Lynch.
	I can't find Lisa Lynch's email.
	She may have sent something to you.
	She's in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
	That's $223.21.
	No, I don't have anything either.
	But I didn't get anything that says donation in the subject line.
	And I will scold people who fail to do that.
	They will send notes in, but it says notes or something.
	I didn't see that.
	But Lisa, if you get a note for us, let us know.
	We'll make it.
	Todd Webster in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, 207.
	Cheers!
	With this donation, I stumble into knighthood on my birthday, 3-3, where I turn 33, plus 3 times 3.
	Ooh!
	I'd like to have some, is what he wants to say.
	Pennsylvania rye added to the table, and I think we all need an extra heaping of mutton to thin out the sheep herd.
	Henceforth, a word that I appreciate somebody trying to use.
	It's a good word.
	Henceforth, I'd like to be called, it's kind of a nighty thing to say, henceforth.
	I'd like to be called Sir Farmer Todd of the Upper Theodotten.
	I thoroughly enjoyed the twice-weekly conspiracy therapy, but the real hidden gem is the community behind the show.
	No agenda social comes for the cat memes and stays for the great discussion.
	NJNK just keep kicking ass.
	Sir Farmer Todd.
	Or to be Sir Farmer Todd.
	From Sir Farmer Todd to be, we go to Texas Joe.
	$200 Magnolia Tejas.
	Hey guys, long-time listener, first-time donor.
	Glad to come out of the douchebag exile and take the first step towards my knighthood.
	I've always wanted to be an instantite, but it's just not in the cards.
	I was hit in the mouth by one of my own listeners a couple of years ago, and I've been listening ever since.
	I request to go podcasting, a podcaster karma from the Podfather, and the best podcast in the universe.
	My show is called the Insurgency Knitting Circle Podcast.
	Several of my listeners are also Noah General listeners.
	What up, my knitters?
	You guys are the best.
	That's cool.
	A right-wing QAnon knitting circle.
	I also need a truckload of goat karma for my first homesteading, skill building, and freedom workshop that I'm hosting at my farm north of Houston, April 9th, 10th, and 11th.
	That's a cool idea.
	I'd love to go to one of those.
	It's formally called Freedom and Farmsteading 2021, but it's been dubbed TX21 Raising Goats.
	It will be one of the subjects among several other hands-on skills we will be teaching that weekend.
	Oh my gosh, man.
	This is a no agenda meetup, basically.
	Raising goats?
	We've got to go there.
	And here you go.
	If any no agenda listeners are interested in attending, they can email me at info at ikcpodcast.com.
	I'm also looking for producers for my show and for the event if anybody has interesting products and wants some exposure.
	It sounds fun.
	Thanks in advance, gentlemen.
	Keep up the hard work.
	The show has helped me stay sane through COVID, layoff, unemployment, and hopefully now self-employment.
	Good luck with you, man.
	We love people who are self-starters.
	Go podcasting!
	You've got karma.
	And that was $200.
	We have another $200 contributor.
	Anonymous Holder.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	Let me do this.
	It's in Dutch, so there's going to be a lot in Dutch in there.
	Let me do this one.
	Anamiek Holder, and she lives in Florida.
	A lot of Dutch people live in Florida.
	$200.
	Why is this?
	They love Florida.
	The Dutch love Florida.
	I don't know why.
	So do the Germans.
	Yeah.
	It's been an absolute joy to find you guys on the podcast over the last couple of months.
	I finally took the time to write you both and do a donation, $200.
	So please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And make me the crazy Dutch lady.
	I think you're done.
	That's good.
	I don't have to make anything.
	I listened to the Robert Jense show daily and saw Adam on there in the fall prior to the elections, which made me listen to his appearances on the Joe Rogan show.
	I am so excited to have found Adam again.
	Maybe it's the familiarity of his voice or the fact that it's taken me back to my youth in the Netherlands.
	I was a teenager and a college student listening to all his radio shows and music programs as Adam was DJing and hosting.
	A mini-crush.
	Nothing mini about it.
	I've been in the United States for over 25 years now with my own family-loving husband, Chris, two teenagers and a college student in the wonderful state of Florida.
	I love my governor, Ron DeSantis, and with that, the world of freedom we live in.
	It is hard to connect with friends and family in the Netherlands as we truly live in a different world in Florida and, of course, Adam and Texas.
	Sorry, John, California's a mess.
	Let's hope we can go back soon to the Netherlands to visit my elderly parents and Adam's daughter.
	Yes, I'd love to.
	Love, love, love the show with the no-nonsense, the common sense, the debunking of the media and the references to the Netherlands and the Dutch culture.
	It has been a source of laughter and joy during this crazy time we live in.
	John, keep up your wine recommendations as I share them with my husband, and we enjoy living life.
	I'm still learning the lingo and the ins and outs of the no agenda community.
	Would love some karma, as that's good for everyone.
	A meet-up in Florida would be great, but I guess we're too busy living the life here in the Freedom State with kind regards.
	Friendliche Chruze, Annemiek Holder, Ponte Verde Beach, Florida.
	So there's lots of meet-ups in Florida.
	So definitely go to noagendameetups.com.
	And you know what?
	You should start one.
	You should start one for the Dutch meetup in Florida.
	I think you'd be surprised how many people might show up for that.
	And thank you very much, Annemiek.
	So we'll give you a special Dutch goat karma then.
	How about that?
	You've got karma.
	And that is our executive and associate executive producers for show 1226?
	Is that the 13?
	I keep saying 12.
	1326.
	It's a banging group.
	A banging group today.
	Everyone jumped on the threes.
	It's very nice.
	And welcome to the new Rogan Donators.
	It's always a crapshoot.
	Thank you all very much, our executive and associate executive producers.
	It starts at 200, and at 300, you get the exec title, and that's when you get your note read.
	If you send one in, or we can find it.
	We do our best.
	Systems are getting better all the time.
	But most importantly, these are titles that are real.
	They're recognized by Hollywood, recognized by Hollywood producers and celebrities.
	You can put them on your IMDB and your LinkedIn profile, just your CV, your resume.
	Just say it.
	I am an executive or associate executive producer of the No Agenda Show, episode 1326.
	It was a banger.
	And thank you.
	We'll be thanking more people.
	If you'd like to participate in this value-for-value proposition that we have, which is very simple, you get value from the show, send it back, however you want to do it.
	If you're making a donation, make it meaningful to you, and you can find out more at Dvorak.org slash NA. Just like the Kirk says, time, talent, or treasure, that's what it takes.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order! Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, slave!
	A couple of quick updates, and then I have a little thing I'd like to present, which I think you'll like.
	Update on Texas with the fallout from...
	Now, all you've heard in the mainstream is...
	Texas is stupid, man!
	Republicans did it!
	This was clearly a huge financial scam that, yes, we got bamboozled by this deregulation.
	And we're seeing now multiple firms filing for bankruptcy, all because they owe tremendous amounts of money to ERCOT, to the exchange where they trade their electricity, because a lot of them made some pretty bad bets, and they could not deliver the energy they had pre-sold.
	And when it's at $9,000 and you can't provide it, you've got to go buy it from somebody else.
	Which one is this?
	Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, $1.8 billion in the hole.
	They're filing for bankruptcy.
	There are other firms that I'm told that will be filing for multi-billion dollar bankruptcy protection, I should say, because we'll see what ultimately happens with them.
	And there was also some anomaly with...
	And it's still sketchy, but details are dripping in.
	Sir Gene is all over this.
	That some of the power generators went on when they shouldn't, and that seemed like a weird bug.
	I'm just putting it out there in case you hear about it between now and Sunday.
	But if you really want to go to...
	To the crux of it, this one clip will explain outside of the financial incentives to basically trade ourselves into oblivion here during the cold snap.
	Harry Schlanger...
	Who I remember from ResearchGate, we played a lot of stuff from him back in the days of the early, when it was still global warming, before it came climate change, and the, what was the university that had doctored, where it's, let's say, had sent emails.
	East Anglia.
	East Anglia about changing values, which of course has been debunked.
	You're crazy, Curry.
	But he kind of laid it down.
	What?
	Well, If you say to anyone, East Anglia, that they were fudging with the numbers, someone will stand up in your face and say, that's been debunked.
	That's bullcrap.
	I know.
	I'm just saying it.
	That's what people say.
	That's how it goes.
	I'm protecting us.
	Anyway, so Harry's going to tell us who exactly is responsible.
	It's a doozy.
	The idea that you privatize markets, you use the mantra of competition.
	With competition in markets, we can bring down the prices.
	But what did they really do with deregulation?
	They created an operation in which monopoly type swindlers can come in, drive everyone out of business, and the only ones who can stay in competition are the ones who don't do anything to upgrade or maintain their plant and equipment, their distribution centers.
	And so there was no winterization, regardless of what caused the weather.
	And by the way, we've had cold weather in Texas before.
	I lived there for 30 years, and we had some freezes there.
	All this unprecedented weather stuff is made up by these global warming coups.
	But we did have cold weather before.
	But we had more nuclear power, more coal, more oil and gas, and no damn windmills in the 80s and 90s.
	Now, who brought in the windmills in Texas?
	It was really...
	Under the influence of T. Boone Pickens and the belief that we were going to soon run out of oil, so we needed another energy source, this goes into the whole derivatives question.
	And so you had a bunch of rich Texas oil men who gambled the ranch on windmills.
	At the same time, deregulating the system completely so that in order to stay in business, companies had to cut their costs in any way possible, which means they never winterized.
	So you have the worst of all possible worlds.
	A deregulation run by monopolists and a Green New Deal run by psychotic lunatics.
	The states that didn't have a problem with the cold front were the ones that didn't go so big with windmills, that still had nuclear plants, that still had coal-fired plants online.
	Crush the Green New Deal and don't let this Great Reset take place, because the Great Reset will deregulate everything, which means that the cartels will control everything.
	And I think that's the lesson that comes out of Texas.
	It's certainly interesting that he added the Great Reset to his analysis.
	There may be something to that.
	Hmm.
	Eh, that sounded like a rant.
	Alright.
	I think 70% of the power in this country is still from coal.
	People don't want to talk about it.
	Coal and gas fire.
	Of course.
	Of course.
	But if you have an exchange where it's down to the margins and people are doing derivative trading in energy, there's little incentive, which was my analysis from day one, to actually make sure you're ready for stuff.
	Because they were too busy making money to think about anything else.
	So it's a number of different things.
	Well, we've already gone through this in California.
	It came and went.
	It's the Enron people.
	It can still happen again in California.
	You have an RTO. It can still happen.
	Anyway, something really...
	If you've seen it before, it's not going to happen.
	Okay.
	You only get fooled two or three times.
	Fool me once, twice, or maybe three times.
	But then we'll really figure it out.
	The clubhouse coup needs to be discussed.
	There was a clip, and whenever there's a clip, and just a clip, I'm always looking for what happened, what really took place.
	And this is Brett Weinstein.
	Is it Weinstein or Weinstein?
	Does he prefer Weinstein?
	I'm not sure.
	I think it's Weinstein.
	Weinstein.
	Brett Weinstein.
	Yes, I had this.
	It's funny.
	I'm glad you got this clip.
	It's like, I felt, I heard this clip when I heard it the first time.
	I am thinking, this is a guy who is, this is what happened with his brother.
	His brother, the other guy, is the biologist.
	No, this is the biologist.
	Hello, Brett is the biologist.
	No, I thought...
	No, this is the guy...
	Okay, this is Brett Weinstein.
	I'm telling you, Eric Weinstein is his brother who works for Peter Thiel.
	I thought this was Eric on this clip because it sounds more like Eric than Brett.
	Will you take it from me that it's Brett?
	Sure.
	Okay.
	It's Brett and, you know, Brett from his NPR wife who talks like this.
	Well, it makes my story even better if you can play the clip.
	We're not even going to do that.
	He knows exactly what we ask him.
	Brett, are you anti-racist?
	Are you transphobic?
	Are you anti-black?
	Like, give us the answers right now and quickly.
	Are you going to get off the stage?
	Sure, 100%.
	But let me correct something Marcy said first.
	100% what?
	Are you 100% anti-black or are you 100% anti-racist?
	What's going on?
	I don't like the way that he had made Marcy explain what was happening.
	No, I just wanted to know.
	Can y'all please stop trying to let this man wiggle out of the answering the questions?
	First of all, I'm not a classical liberal.
	I'm an actual liberal.
	Far left.
	Have been my whole life.
	I am thoroughly anti-racist by any normal definition, but I don't like Kendi's definition of anti-racist.
	That doesn't make sense to me.
	I'm not by any stretch of the imagination a white supremacist.
	As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure whether I qualify as white.
	I'm Jewish.
	It's a different thing.
	My people have been persecuted by Europeans.
	You are, Brett.
	You're just spicy white.
	We continue.
	Okay, fine.
	I'll take that.
	I just don't think it's a simple issue.
	Alright, so tell me your impressions and I will tell you what I think is going on here.
	Well, first of all, I've never seen anyone handle a situation like this so poorly.
	And we've actually on this show discussed strategies for this sort of attack.
	Another was throwing it back at the attacker and probably throwing their privilege back at him.
	But this was...
	Brett was the same guy that was evergreen.
	He was one of the top biologists in the world...
	Regarding certain theoretical constructs.
	Behavioral.
	No, evolutionary biology.
	Yeah, evolutionary biologist.
	And he was cowed out of his job because what happened at Evergreen was they were going to have some all-black day where all the whites are supposed to leave the campus and the blacks get to stay there and the other people of color.
	And he didn't want to do it.
	He says, I'm not, why should I? What's the deal here?
	This seems like a racist thing.
	And so a bunch of students came in and he started yelling and screaming at him and they drove him out of the campus and they got pissed off that he wouldn't play their game.
	And he quit the college and so did his wife, who also worked there.
	But there was lots of tapes and we played them when it happened.
	And it was the same thing.
	He just, he acts like a weasel in these situations, and he says, well, I'm a classical liberal.
	I mean, the whole of this, it was, I felt it was cringeworthy to listen to this poor guy not stand up for him.
	He has no, apparently no backbone, I said the word, no backbone, and it was, I thought it was, it was hard to listen to.
	So I dove into this.
	Now, I have a little bit of an advantage.
	I have done 59 shows with Mo, MoFax.
	So it's a lot of hours.
	We talk.
	I'm a little...
	I have some bias, perhaps, but I've learned a lot of different things.
	First of all, the comment for him to say, I'm not white, I'm Jewish!
	Okay?
	Okay?
	If I may.
	This woman, Marcy, is a professional.
	She knew what she was doing.
	She may be one of these trained Marxists.
	She did not call him a racist.
	She did not call him a white nationalist.
	She said, are you a white supremacist?
	At no point did she call him a racist or a bigot or anything like that.
	And that is specifically because if you really, and I won't get too deep in this, but the true meaning of white supremacy is what many people still live under.
	It comes originally from the European families...
	Who were supreme.
	Go to any country.
	The Netherlands, the UK, Canada.
	There's kings and queens.
	Norway, Denmark, Sweden.
	Everyone's got a king.
	That is the original supremacy.
	They were called white supremacy because that was their color.
	That was their brand.
	In fact, you've heard of Venetian Cruz, which was a makeup that even Queen Elizabeth I used to make themselves look white because a lot of these people in the families, in the rich original families, were not so white.
	They came from Southern Europe.
	They had olive skin.
	So that became kind of their brand.
	And that's where the term white supremacy comes from.
	We still, I would say, live under a version of supremacy.
	Just look at the assholes who run the show.
	Now, when she says, are you a white supremacist, she has a reason for this.
	And this is something that most people don't know.
	Months ago, Mo pointed out Clubhouse to me.
	Months ago.
	And now, I never downloaded the app.
	I had no interest.
	But the reason he told me about Clubhouse, he said, bro...
	People are leaving YouTube.
	They're paying content creators over at Clubhouse.
	He says it's the blackest app in the App Store, along with Cash App.
	The blackest app in the App Store for months.
	And they were paying black creators to leave YouTube and go make stuff over at Clubhouse.
	And then the old switcheroo took place.
	Once they had traction, and just imagine, I'm putting myself in black skin for a moment.
	Imagine you've...
	And it was black Bitcoin.
	It was black entrepreneurs.
	Of course, tons of woke BLM stuff as well.
	But it was a black...
	90-95% black.
	And then, when they had some critical mass going...
	The owners flip around and go, oh cool, now let's bring in some celebrities.
	Who do they bring in?
	The whitest of all white people you can imagine.
	Rich white guys, Elon Musk, Joe Rogan.
	And then you get a whole bunch of other white guys coming in with attitude and basically taking over their app.
	I'm sure Brett Weinstein had no idea what was going on over there.
	And if you hear the preamble to this berating that he got, which is about a minute, you can hear these this group, including Marcy, talking about, you know, what the hell is going on here.
	And you'll get a little bit of understanding of how they feel that their digital space was hijacked.
	So I'm taking some time to notice, too, who's in here.
	Thank you to whoever DMed me, right?
	But Brett Weinstein, yeah, I'm calling you out.
	Somebody that they really promote on this app, right?
	I'm always seeing him, like, not even in town halls on the stage, but in the audience.
	He's always, like, having such a huge influence on this app, right?
	And his nigga's mad racist.
	Look at you, Brett!
	Brett!
	Add in Mark, add in Mark.
	Wait, who is it?
	Who is it?
	Brett Weinstein, under Felicity, under Exotic.
	So Exotic, and then Felicity, and then Brett.
	Bring him up.
	Actually, bring him up.
	32,000 followers, but you're not going to go back and talk about this.
	Bring him up.
	You're not going to talk about how we had to, you know what I'm saying?
	None of that.
	What's up?
	We're going to put this in a little bit more of a perspective.
	I think Brett Erich, and I'll let him speak for himself, but they are kind of a part of all the classical liberal groups, or I don't know what to call it, but they're kind of a part of that intellectual, I guess, dark web.
	So this is how I read the situation We've got a complete hijack of the community Everybody was fine.
	It was doing great.
	And then slowly, the black people on the app saw it being moved towards white, promoted.
	Yeah, they're promoting this guy.
	They're promoting this guy.
	It's all white guys.
	And then, what we didn't hear is the three-hour conversation that led up to this.
	Now a little bit from Brett and his wife's podcast, where he explains what has happened.
	And with this context...
	Of we just got hijacked by a bunch of old rich white guys is very apparent in how he describes what happened.
	What happened yesterday is that Michael Tracy, the journalist, started a room when the title was approximately Is Clubhouse Obsessed with Wokeism or something like that?
	Now, just imagine you've had this place and now there's these white guys saying, it's Clubhouse, our Clubhouse, too obsessed with wokeism, whatever.
	In any case, I went into this room quite late, I think.
	The discussion was well underway.
	Michael Tracy was, I believe, having difficulty moderating the room.
	A person came onto the stage to speak and challenged the fact that there were, by her accounting, no people of color members.
	Uh, with moderator privileges, Michael Tracy made her a moderator.
	I did not see that interaction, but that's what I've been told.
	And then a coup took place and everybody in the room acknowledged by the end of this discussion that it was a coup.
	This from a university professor to call something that happened on Clubhouse a coup and it was a coup and everybody agreed?
	Come on, Weinstein.
	So the person who had been given moderator privileges first kicked Michael Tracy off the stage.
	Then kicked all white people off the stage, and the conversation radically shifted.
	And, you know, so it was takeover.
	Now, at one level, who cares about some takeover in some ephemeral room on Clubhouse?
	Yes!
	Stop!
	Exactly!
	My first question, why are you wasting your time there other than vanity?
	Why are you even going to something ephemeral?
	Other than just to be in the scene.
	It's some kind of weird FOMO. It doesn't suit you.
	On the other hand, the nature of Clubhouse is a discussion.
	And what took place in that room was stunning, not just to me, but to many people, including Peter Boghossian, who was in the audience, and Benjamin Boyce.
	Now, I would just point out that Peter Boghossian, Benjamin Boyce, and myself are...
	Three very well-versed people when it comes to discussions of wokeness, racial interactions, right?
	It would be hard to impress us, and yet all three of us were impressed with what took place in this room.
	It was shocking.
	Yeah.
	And I think a learning moment is in place here.
	I can only imagine what that whole discussion was about as they are the experts on wokeness and racism and integrations.
	I can understand why these people got angry.
	So who the hell are you?
	Shut up and go away.
	No one has the context of what Clubhouse was and how it's basically been destroyed.
	And we can just listen to what actually happened, how he actually was addressed, instead of the one clip that you heard.
	Was that you, Marcy, who was saying something about who I am?
	Yeah, I was trying to give some context to these rooms, and I don't...
	I wasn't here earlier, and apparently some things were said that were insensitive.
	I was trying to catch up, but I was, you know, trying to explain that you have a podcast and you're popular off this app for your POV on wokeism and stuff like that.
	That's all.
	I was trying to frame it.
	Appreciate it.
	Also, VC, am I mistaken, or are you also an investor on this app as well?
	No, no, no, no.
	I'm not an investor.
	They promote you like you are.
	I don't know that there's any promotion.
	Do you see the issues?
	This is the issue!
	I've been here a little while.
	I did get an invite fairly early on, but I don't think there's been any promotion here.
	Okay, can we speak to the fact that you are anti-wokeness and the progression of black people?
	Do you believe in white supremacy?
	Do you believe in white supremacy?
	Are those sentiments that you stand by?
	People here are saying that you have spewed racism across this app, so can you speak to that?
	And transphobia.
	Wait, why was Dayo down in the audience?
	What happened?
	Yeah, what happened?
	I think they left.
	Can I ask something of you before I answer your questions?
	Did you answer those questions?
	Do you support white supremacy?
	Are you anti-racist?
	And transphobia.
	Okay, I'm happy to do all these things, but I would ask you to try to listen fully.
	Listen, we're in charge here, okay?
	We ask you some questions, you can answer them or you can go.
	Here's the problem, Bray.
	You see, that's what it is.
	This has nothing to do specifically with race, but by a hijack of a different class.
	And it's just explained with white supremacy because that's a class struggle, not a color struggle.
	And sadly, a lot of trolls think that this is about race, but it's not.
	It is about a digital battlefield for who owns it, and the people who built Clubhouse are just pissed off that they got jacked.
	That's the problem here.
	It's not about someone being a racist or not.
	And that's all I got.
	Okay.
	I found the whole thing to be tedious.
	Well, Clubhouse is, of course, completely unnecessary in anyone's life.
	Who needs this?
	Well, I can't use it anyway, and neither can you use this if you don't use an Apple.
	Yeah.
	There's probably reasons for that.
	There's probably reasons for that, too.
	But ultimately, I think Clubhouse did themselves no favor by...
	Building it up and then pulling the rug and changing it and promoting a bunch of intellectual white guys.
	I know how that looks.
	It's dumb.
	For some reason it reminds me of Gamergate.
	Well, let's get back to the news.
	I wanted to break down the Cuomo apology because he's crying in it.
	And I'm starting to notice some interesting trends in the way people and certain leaders are speaking.
	So I took the apology that he did and put it into three pieces.
	One, two, and three.
	And each one of them, at least the first two, emphasize something that Joe Biden does.
	Let's go with apology part one.
	As you probably know, the Attorney General is doing an independent review, and I will fully cooperate with that review.
	Now, the lawyers say, I shouldn't say anything when you have a pending review until that review is over.
	I understand that.
	I'm a lawyer, too.
	I want New Yorkers to hear from me directly on this.
	First, I fully support a woman's right to come forward.
	And I think it should be encouraged in every way.
	I now understand that I acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable.
	It was unintentional and I truly apologize for it.
	I feel awful about it and frankly I am embarrassed by it and that's not easy to say.
	But that's the truth.
	But this is what I want you to know.
	And I want you to know this from me directly.
	I never touched anyone inappropriately.
	I never touched anyone inappropriately.
	Please don't look at the dead old people.
	Well, that's definitely part of this.
	Now, his emphasis here is he supports the women's rights to come forward.
	Is that in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights?
	The right to come forward?
	Well, everyone has the freedom of speech, so that right is God-given.
	So, yes, it's not anything special.
	Except he feels that maybe he grants that right.
	Maybe he feels godly.
	And then he does this thing that he does and Biden does at the very end.
	Did you catch it?
	I'm not sure what you're referring to.
	He repeats himself word for word.
	Oh, right, right.
	A little slower than the original.
	Well, you can play the end again.
	You can hear it.
	But this is what I want you to know.
	And I want you to know this from me directly.
	I never touched anyone inappropriately.
	I never touched anyone inappropriately.
	Not slower, not faster.
	Almost identical.
	You have to say it three times for it to stick, though.
	Now, I've got a Biden clip.
	I'm making a collection of these to make a supercut.
	I only have one so far, but Biden does the same thing.
	You've got to start.
	I've got to start, but you might as well play the Biden one.
	You can hear the example of him doing it.
	Okay.
	Get this.
	A dose of hope.
	A dose of hope.
	Yeah.
	A dose of hope.
	A dose of hope.
	Okay, so part two of Cuomo, he does the repeating thing again.
	I cut it off right after he finishes it.
	And then we go into the last part.
	And this is only 13 seconds before he does another repetition.
	I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable.
	I never knew at the time I was making anyone feel uncomfortable.
	Uh-huh.
	I know where this is leading.
	Where?
	Oh, I know where this is leading.
	It's not about his intent, it's about how someone felt.
	Isn't that the rule?
	Oh, no, that's always, yeah, that's a typical bullshit apology.
	That's the rule, yeah.
	Yeah, you usually do that.
	So then he does something interesting.
	And he kind of twists it a little bit.
	He does a good job of hiding it, what you just described, which is the classic bullshit apology where you say, I'm sorry if it made you feel bad.
	I know, it's, I apologize.
	Not I'm sorry, I apologize.
	He actually says I'm sorry at As opposed to, I apologize.
	If you felt that I did something wrong, I apologize.
	It throws it on the person.
	Yep.
	Well, you just apologize, douchebag.
	But this is another interesting little twist he has in here.
	And I didn't catch it right away.
	But listen to this.
	This is the Cuomo Apology 3.
	And I certainly never, ever meant...
	To offend anyone, or hurt anyone, or cause anyone any pain.
	That is the last thing I would ever want to do.
	I ask the people of this state to wait for the facts from the Attorney General's report before forming an opinion.
	Get the facts, please, before forming an opinion.
	And the Attorney General is doing that review.
	I will fully cooperate with it.
	And then you will have the facts.
	And make a decision when you know the facts.
	I also want you to know that I have learned from what has been an incredibly difficult situation For me, as well as other people.
	And I've learned an important lesson.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry for whatever pain I caused anyone.
	I never intended it.
	And I will be the better for this experience.
	Intent doesn't matter.
	Now, here's another little thing he does here.
	He builds up to, I've learned a lesson, and he's about to tell you what lesson he learned.
	What lesson did he learn?
	I think the one I described, but he doesn't say it.
	What does he say?
	He says, I've learned a lesson, and then he goes right into, I'm sorry, repeating it, I'm sorry.
	Wait, hey Adam?
	Yeah?
	I learned something today.
	What did you learn?
	I'm sorry.
	I mean, it doesn't really make any sense.
	Let me hear it at the end again.
	Hold on.
	For me, as well as other people, and I've learned an important lesson.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm sorry for whatever pain I caused anyone.
	I never intended it.
	And I will be the better for this experience.
	Well, I think he's saying that intent doesn't matter.
	It's how you feel.
	He's not saying it.
	That's what he's saying.
	That's what he's saying.
	But what is the lesson specifically that he learned?
	The lesson he learned is that intent doesn't matter.
	That's the lesson.
	That is the only lesson.
	It doesn't matter what you said or did.
	If it made me feel bad, you're guilty.
	Oh, that's the whole social justice warrior mantra.
	I'm triggered.
	I'm triggered.
	It's, it's, this was a, and by the way, the beginning, you couldn't hear it, but if you saw it and watched it, he was kind of faking it, like crying at the, in the first two.
	Well, we heard it.
	No, we heard it at the beginning.
	We heard him.
	Now, let me ask you.
	What a crock.
	Here's what I'm saying.
	So the guy is an embarrassment because he not only did some things that was indirectly or maybe directly responsible for a lot of old people dying, and we know in the UK, I'm sure it's similar here, 79 years old, average age, so old people were dying.
	That could have also been to help out some voting bloc that he appreciates.
	We don't know.
	That's all speculation that may or may not come out in the wash.
	But, he got, he was embraced by Hollywood.
	Hollywood embraced him, and with Hollywood I mean cable news too.
	His brother, CNN, he was heralded.
	My uncle, long time, long time CIA smart guy, now in his 90s.
	Oh, Cuomo is our shining star.
	We look forward to his press conference every day.
	He really is leading us.
	So then he got an Emmy.
	And then it started to get ugly because they figured out that a lot of people died and he was pretty responsible.
	Certainly he didn't do the right thing.
	So then they gave him the Hollywood takedown.
	Hollywood cannot have this on their record.
	So I'm sorry to say, but the Hollywood way is me too, is you drum up some accusations.
	Boom!
	This is a Hollywood takedown.
	Well, you always have this theory, and I've subscribed to it mostly, which is that if you get the Emmy, this is a twisted version of it.
	If you get the Emmy, now you're like a star, so that you've been built up, because the Emmy's a big deal.
	You get an Emmy for press conferences?
	Holy mackerel.
	And so the only time it's ever been done, you give him an Emmy for press conferences because he's so good.
	And so you build him up and you put him on all these shows and he jokes around with his brother on CNN and the whole thing.
	That's the big build-up.
	But then the first opportunity comes along, the same people will do the takedown, which should make it worse than it would have been normally.
	He's not getting away with anything.
	He murdered those people.
	Not discussed.
	We'll see what the Attorney General does.
	Yeah, well, they like the Me Too thing, but it will be discussed.
	There's indictments coming.
	Oh!
	Sealed?
	I can't imagine the lawsuits from the families.
	It's going to be out of control.
	Is it sealed indictments?
	Do you think that that's...
	You know what's back with this?
	Another tale of The Hollywood Whackers.
	Taking him down.
	Cuomo going down.
	The Hollywood Whackers, they're going to get him.
	They don't want his nasty stank on their Hollywood, man.
	On their 1.2 rating in the Target demo.
	People should understand that that rating is the kind of rating that they would cut the show off halfway through it and put some reruns of Dobie Gillis on it.
	They would not run the rerun on the West Coast.
	Done.
	They would not air.
	Yeah, they should have been pulled from the West Coast feed, period.
	Yeah.
	Insane.
	This is a technical thing, a technical report that I wanted to discuss with you, because this is the kind of thing that used to get discussed on This Week in Tech, and I'm sure that they'll be too busy talking about some new phone.
	This is a big Microsoft release.
	Technology and media entities joined forces to create standards group aimed at building trust in online content.
	Did you see this?
	I didn't see this, but they've been talking about trusted computing since the late 80s, pretty much.
	And what does that mean?
	Actually, they started talking about the mid-90s.
	I'm wrong, because it really came into play with the Internet.
	And what did that mean?
	What was the thought behind that?
	The idea was that because people have been, you know, I think this may have started coming around during the heyday of the computer virus, is that you can't naturally trust communications with another machine.
	You don't know if you're really talking to somebody.
	It could be somebody else.
	There was all these issues with code that went from here to there and it had been hacked in between and there was no way of knowing the difference if it was hacked or not.
	It had a lot to do with breaches, mostly.
	So it was more security, and I think HTTPS came out of that, certainly.
	As we were using credit cards, we needed some kind of measure.
	That's the little lock icon.
	Oh, okay, I'm safe on this website.
	I've got a good...
	That's kind of what that was for.
	Well, this is the Coalition for Content, Provenance, and Authenticity, also known as the C2PA. A joint development foundation between Adobe, ARM, BBC, Intel, Microsoft, and TruPic as they form a coalition to develop end-to-end open standard for tracing the origin and evolution of digital content.
	So I read from their release.
	is a partner to form the Coalition for Content, Provenance, and Authenticity, C2PA, a joint development foundation project established to address the prevalence of disinformation, misinformation, and online content fraud through developing technical standards for certifying the source and history or and online content fraud through developing technical standards for certifying the source and history
	Founding members Adobe, Arm, BBC, Intel, Microsoft, and TruPic seek to establish a standard of provenance solution with the goal of combating misleading content.
	And they want to trace this all the way back to the CPU level.
	To watermark something that was created on your computer based upon the CPU that was in your computer at the time, which I guess gives you some kind of fingerprint-like...
	They probably have a serial number they can use.
	This is like, what is that little thing on a Mac address?
	A Mac address.
	Now, my take on this, if I was going to do analysis, is that this is a smokescreen for what they really want.
	And I'll tell you why I say this.
	I agree.
	Because Adobe's involved.
	And Adobe's the number one, they're just beside themselves with piracy.
	And this is about piracy.
	It's not about content.
	I mean, yeah, it sounds great, but in fact, if you start looking at it, you want to have a CPU attached to a pirated copy of something and then you can track it back to somebody and go arrest them.
	Yeah, yeah.
	That'd be dynamite.
	That's what the plan is.
	Yeah.
	Microsoft is a freak about it because their stuff is being pirated constantly.
	Adobe is really a freak about it because their stuff is being pirated.
	These other guys, I have no idea why ARM is involved.
	Processor.
	Yeah, but they don't make processors.
	All they do is sell IP. I think the Chinese are probably, I would guess, If you're designing a processor from scratch, you have to pay ARM a bunch of money to use their IP, which is designed for processors that are kind of like...
	It's not open source.
	It's a very specific design for a processor that you can then modify.
	It's designed to be modified.
	That's what Apple does with the processor that's in the iPad and now in the phone, I believe.
	They use that too.
	And all the Chinese get a hold of this, the basic code, and since you're going to be modifying the crap out of it, it's almost impossible to get busted.
	But it'd probably be less so if you could start tracking the CPUs where it came from and who got it.
	That's the only reason I think ARM would be involved.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	And allow me to read from other pieces of the press release, because it totally...
	So what you're saying is, smokescreen, bullcrap.
	Of course it'll be great to track down someone who did something horrible on the internet and posted something horrible.
	That'll be great to track it back, but really it's about making sure that you're not running pirated copies of their shit.
	That's really what it comes down to.
	So the formation of the C2PA brings together founding members of the Adobe-led Content Authenticity Initiative, there you are, and the Microsoft and BBC-led Project Origin, unifying technical specifications under a single entity.
	Here it comes.
	The CAI is building a system to provide provenance and history for digital media, giving creators a tool to claim authorship and empowering consumers to evaluate whether what they are seeing is trustworthy.
	Project Origin has its roots in the production and distribution of news.
	That's a BBC and Microsoft part.
	The effort is focused on tackling disinformation in the digital news ecosystem by attaching signals to a piece of content to demonstrate its integrity and making this information available to those using it.
	With the foundation of the C2PA, technical standards will be unified while these two entities continue to pursue adoption, prototyping, and education within their respective communities.
	And the involvement of TruePick is interesting as TruePick's development on the first negative integration of hardware-secured photo-capture smartphone technology...
	Which I find interesting in the context of these NFTs which are all of a sudden popping up where you can prove that you own a digital image without these assholes involved in it.
	Adobe, Microsoft, BBC. Could be a counter move to that too.
	They're seeing the money that's being made.
	Could be an element.
	Could be an element of that.
	But this is bull crap.
	This is...
	What is it going to do?
	For example, are you going to stop reading the Gateway Pundit?
	What about people that create the content themselves from scratch?
	Well, first of all...
	I mean, this doesn't make...
	If you think about it, what they're trying to do is just to prove stuff is bogus.
	It's not like it doesn't get proven by the community at large that jump all over every piece of phony information that floats around.
	Yeah, something will come out quickly and become a big...
	Like, go around as a rumor real fast and kind of just make a mess, but it gets cleaned up by itself.
	It already gets cleaned up.
	This is bull crap, this whole system.
	This is, again, I'll stay with it.
	I think you're right.
	I think you're right.
	Say it again.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	And Adobe is like the number one freak out over this because they have been ripped off left and right and they just don't like it.
	So the result will be more people moving away from these platforms.
	Because they're going to be tracking you whether it's for their copyright or for, you know, obviously...
	It's getting to the point where it's getting close enough now that there are competitors to Photoshop.
	GIMP! Many of them quite...
	The GIMP! There are...
	GIMP is actually not as bad as it used to be.
	As you make it out to be?
	As I make it out to be.
	But there are other products that are out there that are quite good, and they're, for most Photoshop uses, Photoshop has also kind of featured itself into a corner with just too much crazy stuff that it does.
	And...
	I mean, it's just like Adobe's...
	I liked when they started the idea of the subscription and they kind of made it work.
	And it worked very well and it seemed like it was worth the price.
	But they keep adding features and they bring...
	Here's another thing Adobe did, which is irksome.
	They brought out a bunch of products that were outside of the subscription.
	Little extra things, and I can't name them right now, but there's a bunch of little sub-programs, little additional programs that are outside of the subscription.
	So you got your subscription, which is supposed to cover everything, and then there's this and that that is not in the subscription.
	So there's money out the door.
	Well, all of these new products, including Apple's new operating system, is phoning home.
	It's all phoning home.
	Windows has been doing that forever.
	And this is where Linux will start to win over, and not on the Intel or ARM chips.
	What's left?
	I think Linux, as we use it, at this point, with all the free apps that are available and some of the utilities, is very viable.
	Much more so than it was 10 years ago when people were doing things like Lindos.
	I forgot about Lindos.
	Now, Microsoft is trying to capture that by adding the Windows Linux subsystem, and they are big investors in the Linux Foundation.
	They see what's going on.
	They're trying to weasel in on that.
	But even on smartphones, I almost do everything exclusively on my No Agenda phone now, which is running GrapheneOS, NoAgendaPhone.com.
	It is unbelievably stable.
	Just very fast.
	I feel much more secure with what I'm doing.
	I can at least see what I'm doing.
	It's not obfuscated.
	So yeah, there's lots of alternatives.
	It's just going too far.
	They're taking it to the next level.
	They really are.
	They've gone from when this whole thing started...
	Small, one disc, a book, a little small book in a baggie with a hole in it, hanging off of a little thing sticking out from a shelf.
	Like a bag of drugs, a little Ziploc bag.
	40 bucks, you get this, or 29 bucks, you get that, or 19 bucks, you get something else.
	To this mess that they've created.
	Yeah.
	Fabulous.
	And now they're trying to protect the mess.
	Yeah.
	This is what happened when something's going to change.
	It has to change pretty soon.
	This is the way the mini-computer people try to protect themselves from the micro-computer people.
	Oh, let's understand that because history is the best predictor of the future.
	Every time something new came along, this has always been the way it's been going with high tech.
	That's why it's been in a perpetual depression, technically, because prices keep going down and power keeps going up.
	And so you have your mainframe and then the minicomputer people came along, the DEC, the Digital Equipment Corporation.
	Now, the minicomputer was technically...
	I mean, mainframe, you had a dumb terminal.
	Is the minicomputer something like...
	An office division would share, or how was that rolled out?
	It was a different architecture, and the computing mechanism, the core CPU areas were pretty much as powerful as the bigger machines, but they couldn't do certain things.
	They didn't have channeling and some of these other mechanisms that made the big machines work better in certain situations.
	But you'd go into, like when I worked at the air pollution district, when I first got involved in this idea, They had an HP 3000 system, which was a mini-computer, and there were these distributed terminals, and they were all kind of part and parcel of the main thing, and they had some intelligence, not like later.
	And they...
	The main part of it was they were a lot cheaper, and you didn't have the huge IT department to deal with.
	You had a couple of guys.
	So it all becomes the old back-of-the-napkin sales pitch where somebody is in the business.
	Look, if you buy our chips, it replaces these five chips.
	You'll save $5 per unit, and in one year you'll pay for the changeover and blah, blah, blah.
	You know, that's the...
	We know the pitch.
	Oh, that is the sales pitch of high technology.
	Also used for ventilator sales during COVID. And so they had the many computers pushed out, you know, marginalized the mainframe somewhat, except in giant corporations.
	And they had the technology and the right idea to go even further down the road and do microcomputers, use the new microchips.
	But they wouldn't do it because they knew the numbers.
	And they said, this will be ruined if we do this.
	And so they never did.
	So they put it off.
	And so they keep putting it off.
	And then the microcomputers came in from other sides.
	And they did ruin them.
	There's no deck.
	Nobody runs a deck 10 or any of these mini computers anymore.
	They got wiped out.
	And in fact, the mainframes almost got wiped out.
	But they managed to do a comeback with...
	Client server.
	Was it Wang?
	Cloud.
	Was it Wang a mini computer?
	Yeah.
	Okay, the Wang system.
	All right, so then I know.
	Because we had the Wang at MTV when I arrived there in 1986.
	And the Wang had a dedicated word processor.
	You can also buy a Wang just a dedicated word processor from Wang.
	Yeah.
	That was their main sales thing.
	It was the prompter scripts.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, that makes sense.
	And they were very expensive.
	And they were the same way.
	They could look at, you know, as soon as these little machines started coming out, which had word processing on them, and once, you know, WordStar and things like that came along, there made no sense to buy a Wang.
	Can I have just a moment?
	I've told it before.
	I'll tell you my Wang MTV story.
	Not everyone's heard this.
	When I came to MTV, late 86, 87, the way they did teleprompter in the studio was as follows.
	Up at 1775 Broadway, a producer would write your scripts.
	And these scripts would then be printed, on a wang, these scripts would then be printed at the office.
	And it was a stack, maybe two inches high, because it's teleprompter printout.
	And it would be sent with a car, with a car service to my house, to my apartment.
	At the time in Manhattan.
	Meanwhile, I'm on the internet.
	I was already doing Gopher when they're sending me these scripts by CommuniCard car service.
	Then you go down to the studio the next day and there's three more sets of these scripts.
	And one set is for the teleprompter operator.
	And just so you know how it worked back in the day, the teleprompter operator, we had two.
	John, who was this kind of a blob of a guy.
	And then we had Christine, who was a hot, hot New Jersey crazy chick.
	And they would take each page, and as you're talking, they would put each page on a conveyor belt.
	Like a little sushi conveyor belt, and they had a knob, and they could turn that conveyor belt forward or backward at different speeds, and it would roll underneath the camera, and the camera was focused on the paper, and that would be shown on the television screen in the teleprompter.
	That was MTV, the hot new thing on the block, 1987.
	Sounds about right.
	No wonder they hated me, coming in and telling their wangs no good.
	Actually, I think they faxed some of the scripts.
	Nobody wants to hear that their wang's no good.
	I'm going to show my school by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	You are, you people, you are indeed the best in the business.
	Yes.
	I No one can do a one-liner like that, Dvorak.
	Thank you.
	We do have a few people to thank for show 1326, starting with, and by the way, I want to remind people that this is the same where we just give you credit, money, and we don't run jingles and do other things, but we will give you a dedouching as needed.
	We try anyway.
	Adam will keep track of that as I go on and say Sir OMA. OMA. You can say OMA. OMA? Is it OMA? Yeah, OMA. Yeah.
	He needs some health karma.
	Give that to you at the end.
	132.60.
	Sir Crush-A-Lot, the Black Knight of the...
	Leelanau Grapefields in Michigan.
	And they do grow grapes there, surprisingly.
	Chardonnay is there.
	111.29.
	I wouldn't mind getting a couple bottles from these people that grow the grapes in Michigan.
	I've always been surprised by Midwestern wines.
	Sir Josh Dilsaver, 111.11 in Springfield, Missouri.
	Sir Robert of Sous Vide in Holland, Pennsylvania.
	100.
	Baron Latican, Houston, Texas, 100.
	Jared Wolfe in Milburn, New Jersey, 100.
	He's got...
	Oh, he should have a...
	He should be...
	Oh, it's next month's his birthday.
	Oh, well.
	You better remind us in advance.
	John Robinet, 100.
	Douglas Ingstrom, 100 from Sandy Lane, Pennsylvania.
	A lot of hundreds here.
	I like it.
	Catherine Sutton in Fairfield, Connecticut came with 100.
	She has a birthday, and she had a note about something that I needed to put in the mention, but now I don't see it.
	For J.D., you mean?
	For J.D.? Was it?
	That was the birthday donation for JDM. No, I'm sorry.
	I don't know.
	Sorry, Catherine.
	She's the woman with the, I believe, she's the one that has the place in Thailand.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Pretty sure.
	Hmm.

	ITM, Mr.
	Max Powers.
	In the morning, John and Adam.
	In the morning!
	And there was a big meet-up in Austin, the Local 512.
	I didn't make it to this one because the keeper and I had a lot of stuff to do.
	She also had the day off, and it's nice when we both get the day off.
	So apparently I was missed.
	It's the longest report, but there were a lot of people there.
	This is Baron Scott of No Agenda Local 512 fixing it in post.
	Here are a few words from the attendees of the most recent No Agenda Local 512 post-Post-Valentine's Day meet-up.
	This is my second meet-up.
	It's a nice day today.
	In the morning, from Rachel and...
	And Osi, what?
	That's you.
	Hey, Adam, where you at?
	You're not supporting your own community.
	And those truffles were amazing!
	So dang.
	Alright, this is my first time.
	It's pretty excellent.
	Bonbons and beer.
	What more could you ask for?
	Sir Dusifer here.
	John, enjoy your Pabst Blue Ribbon!
	Hey, in the morning, guys.
	This is Colin from Buda.
	Thank Scott for setting us up out here on a beautiful Saturday.
	Thanks.
	This is Bill from Dallas.
	Curls for the girls.
	Wait for the babe in the morning.
	Hey, guys.
	In the morning.
	Stay safe, Adam.
	Love you, Adam.
	This is my second meetup.
	It's a nice day today.
	Happy post-Valentine's Day love from the Coggins.
	The truffles were amazing.
	In the morning, mustaches and margaritas.
	This is Brendan from Local 512.
	I'm still a douchebag.
	Sorry, Adam.
	Hey, this is Josh Magnuson from Austin in the morning.
	This is Sir L. Hawkins reminding you that it is a party.
	Hey, this is Sir Steve, and this is my third meetup here, and I think I'll be coming regularly because I only live a mile away.
	It's a really good time.
	Hey, this is me at the No Agenda Waitress.
	I love No Agenda.
	They're so crazy, and they're so great.
	She is the waitress in Doc's backyard.
	We've co-opted her.
	And she's now wearing t-shirts.
	It's a good report.
	A lot of people there.
	Really incredible.
	Here's what's coming up on our list.
	You can find it all at NoAgendaMeetups.com.

	It's nice.
	And also in Chicago, the Stranger Than Fiction meetup on the 24th.
	That's just what's coming up, a little bit of what's on the radar to really get a good understanding.
	There's a calendar for this.
	It's put together.
	Sir Neil has done that over there at NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	You can find one there.
	If you can't find something, here's an idea.
	Why don't you start one yourself?
	It's easy.
	NoAgendaMeetups.com.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered on hell's flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Just like one.
	I have a report from the Meetup's back office that needs to be...
	I should have done it probably before.
	Oh, sorry.
	What's up?
	Mimi's noticing there's a lot of people doing special events.
	That really aren't meetups, but they're like something else, skiing lessons or whatever it might be.
	And they keep wondering if we can help them or if they can put it on there.
	They want to use it for posting all kinds of crazy things.
	The site, they use the site to post it.
	She won't put any of it up unless it's just straight up meetup.
	And I... I've suggested that we mention the way it works in Michigan.
	Michigan is the first organized meetup system.
	And it works very well because they have their own mailing list that they developed.
	Yeah, so does 512.
	Any local has that too.
	Local 1.
	Yeah.
	So you have all these people that, especially like 5-12 is a good example.
	They should be developing a mailing list of all the attendees so they can have their email address.
	So if they want to do a special event that's got really not a pure meetup, but they just want to get their people together and start collecting names and then just send them an email and say, we're going to go do this this weekend.
	Go-kart racing.
	Or knitting.
	And nobody's doing this.
	Except one.
	Local one.
	512 is doing this.
	Local 512.
	Do they have a mailing list?
	Yep.
	Huge mailing list and telegraph.
	You remember, Baron Scott was doing rescue missions, bringing people food and connecting people to water and electricity.
	They got the right idea.
	Yeah.
	These other groups are all over the place and they've not made a mailing list.
	They never thought about it.
	And I'm just telling them they should all be doing it.
	Very good idea.
	That's a better way for sure.
	I think this has to be discussed before we leave.
	This is Read Across America Day, but there was something missing from President Biden's proclamation.
	I do not like them, Sam, I am.
	I do not like green eggs and ham.
	Mention of Dr.
	Seuss, for whom the day was originally named in 1998.
	Just 2% of the characters in the books are non-white.
	This was really an interesting thing that took place here.
	Yes, and I actually have a substack column on this coming out next Tuesday.
	Ooh, good.
	Now, do you have any clips or anything of this?
	No, I have no clips, but I mean, I've watched the whole thing take place.
	It's ludicrous.
	I have a 43-second clip.
	This will give us a little idea here.
	This morning, six Dr.
	Seuss children's books will no longer be published because of what are being called racist and insensitive images.
	The publishing company is saying the decision comes after months of discussion, saying these books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.
	It will lead to an acknowledgement that yes, there are children's books that are both racist and sexist.
	Depictions in the books show Asians with lines for eyes and Africans wearing grass skirts.
	One of the books, If I Ran the Zoo, includes a drawing of a white man with a gun standing on a cage that's propped up on the heads of what appear to be three Asian men.
	It also includes dark silhouettes and what looks like a stereotypical depiction of a Middle Eastern man on a camel.
	Now, I don't know if everyone...
	Dr.
	Seuss is pretty American.
	I don't know how well known it is.
	Mainly because of his rhymes are very English.
	Very hard to translate in different languages.
	I grew up with Dr.
	Seuss.
	Honestly, I never really liked it that much.
	I'm like, okay, whatever.
	Red fish, blue fish, one fish, two fish.
	As for kids, it's something that your parents read to kids and show them the pictures.
	And it's mostly animals and crazy drawings.
	It's very funny.
	The If I Ran the Zoo being banned is personally bothersome because I used that book in a column in 1987-88 where I went through the etymology of the word nerd, which I've discussed on the show before.
	And they kept, all the dictionaries had it as ne'er-do-well, kind of compressed into the word nerd.
	But that's, for one thing, ne'er-do-well doesn't mean nerd, and it's stupid.
	But that's what all the definitions had.
	So I did some research, and I discovered that the use of the word nerd never appeared in any lexicon.
	It couldn't be found.
	Before 1950, and what came out in 1950 was If I Ran the Zoo, and what character was in that book was a nerd, N-E-R-D, and the little character looked just like one of the computer science professors at MIT. You can take a look at the drawing and figure it out.
	But it was the character.
	That's how nerd, I believe, got into the lexicon, and there's no...
	There's no proof that it came in any other way.
	I wrote up this column.
	I didn't win any awards, but it got all the dictionaries to change the definition.
	And they did.
	Almost all of them have changed to recognizing this.
	So, just to belabor the story.
	So, I was quite pleased when Universal Studios in Orlando opened up a section called If I Ran the Zoo.
	With the characters in there.
	And as kind of sculptures.
	It was very nice little.
	It was kind of a mini park.
	And guess what character wasn't in there?
	The nerd.
	Exactly.
	Which was very disappointing.
	While a good story, I think this needs some attention as to what's happening here.
	Every year in the United States, we have kind of one of those bullcrap things like, I don't know, you have different months for stuff.
	Read America Day.
	And on Read America Day, we tell all children it's good to read and we all read Dr.
	Seuss.
	And both Michelle Obama and President Obama both read from Dr.
	Seuss books multiple times throughout the years.
	Only this year...
	It had to be deplatformed.
	It had to be removed because of whatever.
	And the context is a couple things.
	This is, to me, this is a cultural attack on America, a real one.
	I'm not a big fan of the Dr.
	Seuss books and maybe it's great to get, you know, whatever it is, it's about reading and it's been used that way for decades.
	This was some kind of setup.
	This was not a surprise.
	Dr.
	Seuss, do you know how much money the Dr.
	Seuss Foundation made last year?
	Over $30 million.
	It's a huge enterprise.
	A lot of people making money off of this.
	The publishers mainly.
	Of course.
	And the merch and there's all kinds of stuff like that.
	This instance is one where I say, hold on a second.
	This is really not okay.
	They didn't replace it with anything for our Read America Day.
	They just turned it into an incredible shit show of which the children are not the benefit.
	And what is the deal with only a few books?
	That's not how canceling works.
	You need to cancel all the books, all the movies, all the merchandise, any actor who played in any movie.
	Why is that not happening?
	Because this is bullshit.
	This is a breaking of American culture on purpose by the Biden administration.
	And I'm not going to forgive him for this.
	You can do a lot of things.
	This was a purposeful thing.
	And who's the publisher of this, Drek?
	I think Harcourt Brace.
	Is that who the publisher is?
	This was also promoted for a number of years.
	This didn't just begin by this group in Oakland called the Woke Kid or something like that.
	Surprise.
	And they based it on...
	A couple of characters in a couple of books, but it really goes back to the drawings that Seuss made in the 20s and 30s, especially the stuff in the 30s where the Japanese were depicted as horrible people.
	Well, we have that history.
	But if you looked at the newspapers back in, especially after Pearl Harbor, and the whole country was using the term Jap, and nobody was really sad about it.
	In fact, the New York Times ran a very interesting story about the, it's just a great story about the internment camps, and how great they are.
	And they're going to be, people are having a lot of fun at the internment camps.
	This is the New York Times, they're all in on the internment camps.
	But the New York Times is never going to get counsel for their past grievances and supporting Nazi Germany and all the rest.
	That's my point.
	This was not a cancellation.
	This was a direct attack on the children of America.
	And I called Mo.
	I said, Mo, did you grow up with Dr.
	Seuss?
	He said, yeah, absolutely.
	Absolutely.
	Why wouldn't he?
	Of course.
	He's a universal character.
	Those books were popular.
	They were all over the place and everyone had a set.
	And there was no issue.
	By the way, all the books that were banned, they're all $1,500.
	You get the complete set, they're now selling for $10,000 on the collector's market.
	There's money to be made.
	I only have one last clip since we're on this kind of thing.
	Well, before you do that, we need our ISO. What you got for ISOs?
	I only have...
	Smash that like button and feed the algorithm.
	I got that.
	That's no good.
	I have a bunch of ISOs.
	No good.
	I have a bunch of versions of Over done by Alex Jones.
	Which one do you want?
	Well, I want you to play them all.
	You tell me what you're the picker.
	I'm going to start with Overlong.
	It's over.
	It's all gone.
	It's all over.
	Now, to see that as the end of the show, that to me is a good ISO because it's talking about the end is the end of the show.
	It's all over.
	That's the short one?
	It's all over, man!
	That's the one.
	That's the one.
	There's no question.
	Unless you've got something else, that's it.
	That's the variation.
	I have put on mask one.
	Hold on.
	Or put mask on one.
	I see mask two.
	Hold on.
	No, put.
	I understand.
	I hear you.
	I'm searching.
	Okay.
	They didn't say ISO, that's why.
	When you go to the restroom, put your mask on!
	Ah, I see what you mean.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's okay.
	You can yell at me.
	Here, this is...
	A dark day.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	I put on mask ISO 2.
	Put your mask on!
	I kind of like that one, too.
	I like...
	Wait, no, it's...
	One's one second, one's two.
	Yeah, this is the short one.
	This is half of it.
	Put your mask on!
	The other one is the full.
	Okay.
	Here, I'll play it for you again.
	This is put mask on one.
	When you go to the restroom, put your mask on!
	That's why it sounds similar.
	It's too long.
	Uh, dark days?
	Dark days.
	Dark days.
	Yeah.
	Dose.
	Dose.
	Dose of hope.
	Now, I think clearly, clearly...
	It's all over, man!
	That's the winner.
	You can't argue that.
	It's a winner.
	It has...
	That, which brings me to the Alex Jones rant clip.
	Okay.
	I think it might be good to finish this.
	He goes nuts.
	This is old.
	This is old, though.
	But this is old.
	This is weeks ago.
	It might be weeks ago, but it's new to me and we've never played it on the show.
	But there's reasons for that.
	Okay.
	If you want to veto the clip, I won't play it.
	You can finish it up.
	We're going to play it.
	I mean, it's over.
	You understand?
	Your only shot you've got is realizing that we're screwed.
	Your candy-ass church isn't going to do it.
	Your candy-ass boss isn't going to do it.
	We're a trained group of monkeys in this country.
	We're not what Americans used to be.
	We're not rugged individualists.
	We don't stand up for the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
	We're a joke, okay?
	And so they got people like Brian Steltzer up there saying, shut down all of his competition on TV now.
	He thinks he owns you.
	Jeff Zucker thinks he owns you.
	These are bad people, okay?
	So I've done the best job I can.
	I'm not bitching at the crew or you or anybody.
	I'm just saying it's hard for me to get up here and do a normal show when we have a group of corporate criminals literally gang raping us.
	I mean, if we ever beat this thing, it'll be in the history of, like, these people were Hitler.
	I mean, this is unbelievable.
	It's not like, oh, we're getting there, it's bad, things are out of control.
	They've just begun.
	They're going to take your pension funds.
	They're going to bankrupt.
	They're going to cut the power off, the oil off.
	They're going to open the borders.
	It's over, man.
	It's over.
	It's all gone.
	It's all over.
	They're going to activate the Boogaloos, FBI, ADL, terror forces.
	They're going to start blowing everything up.
	Then they're going to come arrest all the patriots.
	The idiots will cheer it.
	Then they're going to shut your power off.
	They want you starving in the street.
	They want to rape your wife.
	They're Bolsheviks!
	They're Jacobins!
	It's all over, man!
	All over!
	Enjoy!
	All your games!
	In fact, America is rotting and deserves it.
	Now, the Satanists aren't good.
	They're not God.
	God just lets them have their way now.
	So all your games are over.
	All the TV watching, all the laziness, all the slack jawing's over.
	It's over.
	You're gonna be just like a baby at six months being chopped up in its mother's womb.
	You're not a human.
	You're non-essential.
	You're dead.
	They're gonna kill you because you don't care.
	Ooh.
	Such a positive message from AJ. I'm sorry that I played that, but...
	No, you're not.
	It was from October.
	I love that guy when he goes on it, because that is something very few people can do.
	It's just a performance, of course.
	No one like AJ to do that, that's for sure.
	Got to get him up and rolling on Podcasting 2.0.
	He needs the Emmy.
	Where's the Emmy for him?
	Right?
	For sure.
	Here's what's coming up next on noagendastream.com.
	We've got Nick the Rats.
	Oh, that's from last night's show.
	You'll enjoy that.

	She says she has a girl crush on her.

	Now, most governors shut down their states.
	What followed was record unemployment, businesses closed, most schools were shuttered, and communities suffered.
	And the U.S. economy came to the immediate halt.
	Now, let me be clear.
	COVID didn't crush the economy.
	government crushed the economy.
	For those of you who don't know, South Dakota is the only state in America that never ordered a single business or church to close.
	We never instituted a shelter-in-place order.
	We never mandated that people wear masks.
	We never even defined what an essential business is.
	Because I don't believe that governors have the authority to tell you that your business isn't essential.
	I don't know if you agree with me, but Dr.
	Fauci is wrong a lot.
	Seriously, I never thought that the decisions that I was making were going to be unique.
	I thought that there would be more, but I guess I was wrong.
	Mitt Romney suffers two black eyes and stitches after falling this weekend and being knocked unconscious.
	As a senator juror, I swore an oath before God to exercise impartial justice.
	I am profoundly religious.
	Romney loaded his dog into a pet carrier and strapped the carrier to the roof of the car for the entirety of the 12-hour trip.
	And they're not happy that my dog likes fresh air.
	He hit me and it felt like a piss.
	I was doing exercises that I've been doing for many years.
	It was large rubber bands.
	One of them broke and spun me around.
	And I crashed into these cabinets and injured my arm.
	Five misdemeanor charges will be filed against the brother of Senator Harry Reid.
	Reid is accused of hitting the trooper, not wearing a seatbelt, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence.
	It didn't knock me out, but it sure hurt.
	She hit me And it felt like a piss Senator John Kerry shows off his two black eyes after breaking his nose in a hockey match.
	Kerry's office said he sustained the injury when he was hit in the face with a hockey stick during a game with friends and family over the holidays.
	John McCain's emergency surgery to fix a blood clot behind his eye will impact the Senate's schedule to vote on a new health care bill.
	Well, first of all, I want to explain my black eye.
	I got up this morning at home in Plains getting ready to go to church, and I fell down and hit my bar, and my eye flack, as you notice.
	Pope Francis is sporting a black eye.
	He apparently bumped his head while riding in the Popemobile.

	He chose to talk about anonymous sources in particular.
	He says it is a hoax.
	Some anonymous sourcing is just necessary.
	It is one of those fundamentals of journalism that you have to be able to offer protection to your source if they want it otherwise why would they speak?

	Again, you keep saying it's possible, isn't it?
	Everything is possible, but that's not journalism.
	Things the government doesn't want you to know come out.
	Thank an anonymous source.
	But we don't know who they are.
