Time Text
Hey, look at me.
I got a Ferrari.
Roar, roar, roar.
Adam Curry.
John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, March 11th, 2021.
This is your award-winning Kimba Nation Media assassination episode 1328.
This is No Agenda.
Broadcasting under emergency use authorization, live from Opportunity Zone 33 here on the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where the sun is peeking out, and all I'm waiting for is the Zephyr.
About three minutes away, I'm John C. DeVore.
It's Crackblot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Well, John, when it rains, it pours.
It's poured?
No, when it rains, it pours.
It's a metaphor.
We got lucky.
We got lucky.
Imagine.
What have we had problems with this past week and a half, two weeks, with two of our important websites?
Noagendashow.net and noagendaartgenerator.com.
And, you know, we've been resolving all these issues and it looks like things are getting back to normal.
And then what do I read yesterday?
All of a sudden I get an emergency message.
Our data center was on fire.
In fact, one of them burned to the ground.
Hundreds of data centers, but okay.
Well, we easily could have had our servers there.
We didn't have them at that particular location.
We had them spread out.
But how does that happen?
Shouldn't that never happen?
A data center burned to the ground?
I was thinking about this.
By the way, they're very creative to use cargo containers to make.
Yeah, I saw that too.
Like, wow, okay.
But when we had a data, when I had a data center, we had the, what's that stuff that just sucks all the oxygen out of the room within two seconds, and if you're in there, you're dead?
Yeah, Halon.
Yeah, Halon.
Thank you.
So they couldn't deploy that?
I mean, that's odd to me.
I'm reminded of the 1860s, 1850s, 1860s.
Back in the day, there were all these different telegraph companies.
There was a bunch of them, American Telegraph and Western Union.
There's a whole slew of them.
And one of the things they used to do, very consistently, it was always being written up in the New York Times, they used to chop each other's poles down.
Oh, right!
I forgot about that.
So one company would chop these competitors' poles down.
And that's when they, I think a lot of the times they went to metal poles.
I know Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, which still has the old Telegraph poles from the 1800s right down the street.
People don't even notice them.
Huh.
But when you go down Telegraph Avenue on either side, I think it's on the left side as you head toward the Cal campus, you'll see these tall metal poles that go way up in the air.
They're very thin.
And they come way up.
They're a little higher than the regular telephone pole.
And those are the old Telegraph poles.
There's nothing hooked to them anymore, but the poles are still there.
Really?
Interesting.
Yeah.
You'll never notice them unless somebody points them out.
And then when you see them, you go, wow, that's cool.
And I think they're painted green, just to be more specific.
So you could deploy some of your own technology on those poles, since they're not being used.
If you could set up their unrecognizable wires, sure.
Oh, no, I'd like to take camera, transmitter, radio relay.
You know, if that's not already being done, I'd be surprised, to be honest about it.
Yeah, pirate radio station, tons of ideas I can come up with.
Well, not that tall.
Oh, okay.
So I'm thinking, is this possible that we're going to start seeing this sort of thing?
And I'm, you know, Amazon, I'm looking at you.
You know, it's not much different than the pirate ships off the North Sea in the 60s and 70s who wound up firebombing each other's ships.
There's something about communications and adversaries or competitors.
Well, there's different ways to take out a competitor.
One is with good, honest work and good prices.
Please, that's not the work way.
And that's OVH. That's not the work way.
OVH is the best price, Chinese style.
Totally best price.
Yep, totally.
Yeah, it's totally the best way.
If people want to go ovh.com, you can set up shop using all the stuff that Amazon gives you.
I think it's ovh.com.
Everything Amazon gives you, OVH gives you cheaper.
That's right.
And it's what we use for our infrastructure.
Yeah, it's void zero approved, in fact.
Yeah, and he's the guy.
Void Zero's the man.
He's doing a lot of work, Void Zero the man.
And Tim's working too.
Everyone's working hard.
And Eric's working hard.
Everybody's working hard.
And meanwhile...
Texas!
We got a showdown in the Lone Star States.
I bet!
Seriously, I have a bunch of clips about Texas.
Oh, well, let's roll them out then.
Let me hear what you got, bro.
Well, what do you got?
You got to set up.
Go.
Well, I was just going to give some color and play this quick clip.
The moves this week by governors of Texas and Mississippi really do two things.
I think they can slow down our timeline of when things get back to normal.
And then also they obviously put a lot of people in those states at risk of getting infected and dying.
And given how close we are to the finish line, anybody who gets infected today and dies in three or four weeks is somebody who would have gotten vaccinated a month from now.
This is why it's urgent to just keep going for a little bit longer.
I think a lot of these restrictions can start coming down later April, certainly by May.
Oh, yeah.
Meanwhile, before I even forget, we need to blow the horn because today marks the one-year anniversary of the pandemic, John.
Congratulations.
Happy birthday.
Well, we've flattened the curve.
Have we, though?
So...
So we have this situation where the governor said, hey, Texans can determine for themselves what they want to do.
If you want to keep your business within certain limitations, that's up to you.
But there's no need for that to be in order.
Our mayor, Adler, in the Democratic blue spot of Texas, responded with...
From the people who brought you no electricity and no water.
Now no masks.
And he refused to meet the deadline Wednesday at 6 p.m.
And now the state is going to sue the mayor and it's going back and forth.
And meanwhile, I had dinner with the former New York banker on Tuesday.
And I'm hearing this from more people, that the ultra-wealthy in Austin, they are paralyzed.
They're now privately saying amongst each other, wow, we've got to get our kids back, this has to stop, we have to open up.
But they are paralyzed.
Cannot say anything for fear of being shunned from their social circles and even from their work.
But the rich people, it's from their social circles.
They're afraid of their businesses being targeted.
It's so sad.
I'm getting a kick out of it, personally.
Hold on a second.
And this is how it's being addressed.
This is NBC Meet the Press.
And now, even as the case and death rates have fallen in the past two months, new variants are threatening to produce a fourth wave.
No, fourth wave!
While governors are loosening restrictions.
Fourth wave!
Fears that spiking the football too early here will lead to a new spike.
Nobody's spiking a football.
No, that's...
I don't think anybody...
Everyone said, hey, be careful, you know, do your thing.
So, not that anyone's paying any attention to it here in Austin, that I can tell.
And I went to spin class again yesterday.
It's just as full as it was.
And everyone said, okay, I'll put on the mask.
No one cares.
And our guy is still out there.
I have to give him props.
Admiration for Osterholm.
Who is still keeping to his hurricane metaphor that is coming soon, any day now.
He said, I think, four weeks ago that it would be six weeks, so it's coming.
Dr.
Ostrom, you and I were talking earlier this week, and it does feel as if we are at a fork in the road here.
The vaccines are there.
The supply is coming.
We're so close.
We are seeing this lifting of restrictions.
You're concerned about these variants coupled with spring break.
How vulnerable are we?
Well, good morning, Chuck.
And let me just say we are in the eye of the hurricane right now.
It appears that things are going very well.
You would see blue skies.
We've been through a terrible, terrible year.
But what we know is about to come upon us is the situation with this B.1.1.7 variant, the virus that originated in the United Kingdom, the Today is wreaking havoc in parts of Europe.
27 countries seeing significant cases with this, 10 really hitting hard.
Many of these countries have been in lockdown now for two months just to try to control this virus.
Last time I was on your show four weeks ago, the B.1.1.7 variants made up about...
One to four percent of the viruses we were seeing in communities across the country.
Today, it's up to 30 to 40 percent.
And when we hit that 50 percent mark, you'll see cases surge.
So right now, we do have to keep America as safe as we can from this virus by not letting up on any of the public health measures we've taken.
And we need to get people vaccinated as quickly as we can.
Nothing this guy has said has come true since a year ago when I met him at Rogan's studio and he was talking about two and a half million dead Americans.
Nothing this guy has said has come true.
And I know people...
Well, after about 10 or 20 years, there'll be at least two and a half dead Americans.
Yeah, well, CNN will still be carrying the counter.
And I know a lot of people are, you know, like...
Why do we have to hear more COVID news?
You need this.
It's not news.
We're deconstructing it for you.
What's bitching about that?
Most people, the only reason that people have to be able to see the show is because of COVID news.
Well, the note that actually came in was, hey, I'm a douchebag.
I've never donated, but I'd really like, you know, you should consider moving that to number two.
And I said, my reply?
Yeah, you get what you pay for.
Anyway, back to Texas.
Everyone, well, we're almost at Texas.
Everyone's being discredited, and then I want to hear your thing.
And this is, it'll probably amount to nothing, but Fauci is going to maybe come under a crosshair for this comment that he said back last year.
We've heard it many times.
Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with masks.
Okay, so we know that, and that was on 60 Minutes.
And now we have Scott Gottlieb on Face the Nation saying...
We look back at some of your remarks from a year ago.
You've been pretty on the money with your predictions.
But at this time a year ago, we weren't wearing masks.
We weren't told to until April by the federal government.
We were told not to.
Now we're being asked to continue wearing them.
From where you sit, is that the biggest mistake?
How would you grade our performance as a country?
I think the masks are the single biggest mistake because it was the easiest intervention that we could have reached for early to prevent spread.
Really?
I think this was a real failure to detect all of the asymptomatic spread.
We overestimated the role of fomites, of contaminated surfaces and spraying this virus because we weren't recognizing all the spread that was happening from asymptomatic individuals because we weren't doing good tracking and tracing.
We were using a flu model to detect COVID spread and it wasn't applicable.
So CDC was very slow to recognize this.
If we had recognized earlier all this spread through asymptomatic transmission and the fact that this is spreading not just through droplets but also aerosolization in closed environments, we probably would have recommended masks and high-quality masks much earlier.
So that was probably the single biggest mistake, largely because it was the single easiest intervention that we could have reached for early.
Then we have to cancel Fauci.
This will not stand.
It was his mistake.
So that's the only thing that's left here.
Do they think it may be going outside and going to the beach and to the parks and getting out of the house?
They said it in closed spaces.
Mm-hmm.
Right now...
Maybe getting outside would have been a good idea instead of being locked down.
You know what's kind of weird here in Austin?
Is now that this spat is going on between the state and the city and the county, I should say...
What keeps coming out of the mayor's office here is Austinites have to mask up whenever they're outdoors in the public.
This is new.
This is new.
So now you are indeed expected to wear your mask just walking down the street.
Yeah, I know.
Somebody pointed out it's just like a Nazi armband.
Yes, it's hilarious.
And I love meeting the fellow travelers because they're never who you expect.
Did you see, you know, the shop, the No Agenda shop, they sent a mask out to us.
Oh, I haven't received it.
And if you look at it, I said, this thing's backwards because I thought the black was going to be the outside, but you're supposed to flip it around.
And the No Agenda logo's on the outside, and it makes it look like there's two or three masks.
Ah!
It's printed to look like there's two or three masks.
Oh, that's hilarious.
Yeah.
Do you get two of them or just one?
Maybe mine's in the P.O. box.
I just got one, but I looked at it at first and said, why did they put the logo on the inside?
Because it's black on the other side.
And so you could wear it just as a black mask, but if you flip it around, it's all printed to look like there's two or three masks.
That's hilarious.
It's pretty funny.
Hilarious.
All right, what you got on Texas?
I will deconstruct it for you.
There's not much to it.
You know about the lawsuit between Twitter and Texas?
Yes, I do.
I've heard about it.
Let me see, where is it?
Where's your clip?
Oh, here it is.
Twitter vs.
Texas.
We're badass.
Now, jumping to big tech, Twitter is suing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The social media giant accuses Paxton of abusing his authority, intimidation, and harassment.
Twitter claims Paxton is targeting the company in retaliation for exercising their First Amendment rights.
At issue are Twitter's moderation practices, including the decision to suspend former President Trump's account.
Paxton says deplatforming Trump has had a chilling effect on free speech.
He also says social media companies operate like monopolies and should be regulated like utilities.
Normally I'd say you're right.
A private company can do what they want and consumers have choices.
Here consumers don't have a choice.
They have no choice.
And so we have to regulate that and make sure that free speech is not being controlled by a few very wealthy tech people.
Paxton is now demanding information on Twitter's moderation policies and practices.
Twitter says in the lawsuit that disclosing its moderation policies could undermine their effectiveness.
The company also says Paxton's demands run afoul of the First Amendment.
Twitter argues it has the right to make decisions about what content to disseminate on its platform.
The company is asking the court to block Paxton's efforts to obtain the information or otherwise probe Twitter's internal decisions.
I don't know how you can...
I think it's virtue signaling.
What?
This is virtue signaling.
There's nothing they can really do about it.
And what are they going to do?
The whole thing is a scheme to get into the memos.
We're trying to get these suits going so they get some discovery.
Right, right, right, right, right.
But even so, what a waste of time to me.
I'm a broken record, but I've got to keep saying, this is not the internet.
Noagendasocial.com, which, by the way, you can't sign up for anymore.
Closed down, locked up!
We reached 10,000.
What happens when someone quits?
Periodically, Aaron and I will be scanning and then we will make any dead accounts.
Dead will be presumed inactive for two years and we have a couple thousand already, I think.
We'll open that back up and then we'll close it down again.
And what I'm trying to encourage is for people to create their own Mastodon and just federate with us.
Same experience, except you don't have at noagendasocial.com.
Because imagine, you've got 10,000 people now.
If we let this thing grow and it's 50,000 and then it goes down...
And it's not free to run this?
I don't think you have to make excuses for this.
Just saying.
For this arbitrary decision.
This onerous decision.
It's not arbitrary.
I thought about it very long and hard.
No, it's fine.
I think it's a good idea.
It makes it now.
It's an exclusive club, which is different.
Well, no.
Everybody can communicate.
It's completely open.
Anyone can talk to anybody.
Yes, if you go through the process.
But the other point is that it will be reopened and closed as time goes by.
I would start to promote, and I will do this, that there are certain people on that system that should be kicked off.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Do you want to purge?
I have my own block list.
Yeah, well, that's fine.
That's how it should be.
And I think these people should be examined.
I don't see any reason.
There's a number of people that are on there just to make trouble.
Oh, really?
They don't care about anybody.
They don't care about the community.
They don't care about this show.
They're just like the other people that we've run into over the years that are big fans.
And the next thing you know, they turn into enemies, literally.
And I think they should be kicked off the platform.
I don't have any problem with that.
I think we need to have trials.
We need to have trials, Nuremberg-style trials.
Exactly.
We need to have a public trial.
And then a public hanging, a public deplatforming.
Genocide on deck.
I love it.
I've always wanted to do something like that.
Let's see how it feels to be the elites for once.
Let's see how it feels to be Jack Dorsey.
You'd have to do a lot more than just that to know what it feels like to be Jack Dorsey.
JCD with a D stands for dictator.
Alright, trials.
I got some COVID stuff.
I got my favorite COVID story is the one I kind of picked up late last night and it's easy to find on the list.
It's COVID because this is a beauty.
Uh, there's only one, alright.
The positive test result taking that nurse by complete surprise, but she's now coming forward with her story because she believes it shows the vaccine really works.
Circle of Health reporter Denise Dador explains.
As soon as she could, registered nurse Lisa Blaze got in line to get the Pfizer vaccine.
Vaccinations became available to us around the beginning of December, and I was vaccinated the first week they...
By early January, she got her second dose.
But six weeks later, she started feeling sick, tired, and congested.
A COVID-19 test revealed she got the virus.
I was very shocked.
It's not 100%, as we know.
It's 95% effective.
Still, how could this happen?
Lisa never stopped wearing PPE at work or masking outside her home.
She got infected where she least expected it.
I had a direct exposure from a close family member.
Lisa was hesitant to share her experience because she was concerned about the comments anti-vaxxers might make or that people who were vaccine hesitant might become more so.
But doctors say what happened to Lisa is proof that the vaccine works.
The fact that she was able to not need to go to the hospital, not become severely ill, truly is a testament to how good the vaccines do offer protection.
What?
What?
This is the most Orwellian story I've heard for a month.
Stand back.
You deserve it right off the bat.
Clip of the day.
It proves it.
This is so Orwellian.
You get the vaccine, then you get the disease.
That proves it works.
Up is down.
Black is white.
War is peace.
Subjugation is liberation.
By the way, the report goes on, and it turns out, and then as it goes on, what do you think the final conclusion is?
I don't know.
I can't even imagine.
The final conclusion is that this also proves one other thing.
You really do have to keep wearing a mask for the rest of your life.
Oh, yes, of course, of course, yes, of course.
Gee, I have a lot of, I think, interesting clips on some of these topics.
But I have to remind us sometimes of just what we've been promised.
You mentioned the two-week flatten the curve.
The side effects...
From any number of these vaccines has become a real issue.
This is just a reminder.
Yeah, but some of that is not dramatic where, you know, it's just, you know, super painful.
Okay, it was going to be just maybe super painful.
We have boots on the ground reports which are quite disturbing.
Such as this one.
Alex says, Exactly a week later, the typical rash of shingles appeared with patches of blistering lesions down her jab arm.
The nerve pain lasted about two weeks.
Due to the appearance of the rash, she was required to take a week off work.
She occasionally feels a zing in her fingers when quickly touching objects.
Otherwise, she has since received the second jab with no significant lingering symptoms.
This shingles thing is, now this is the second report we've received.
Yeah, you're right.
And I'm sure there's more.
And I think, in fact, I was watching one of the TV news reports and they showed somebody with an arm like that.
Oh, really?
Huh.
Yeah.
Huh.
The whole arm was all shingly and messed up looking.
Now, here's what's interesting.
Just a second one.
This is the only other one I'll read.
There's a couple more in there.
Uh, but one of our producers has a friend who is a teacher and she got her vaccinations and this is the update she sent not great news The reactogenicity of the vaccine hit me so hard I pulled muscles in my back and exacerbated some congenital and degenerative issues in my spine and hips,
including spinal stenosis and epidural lipomatosis, sciatica, unilateral...
Sacralization of the right hip, protruding disc at the L4-L5, microtorn muscles in lower back, osteoarthritis, bilateral radiculopathy, numbness and weakness through both legs, but significantly worse in the left.
Also, I have to have my previous right hip injury re-evaluated.
I was in the hospital for three days until my left arm became fully functional again and I could reliably walk with a walker and not fall.
So we're taking a break to manage pain and regain feeling in my leg before we begin the process of mending.
We're looking at intensive physical therapy and occupational therapy, lots of specialized visits with the neurology, orthopedic specialty for spine and joint issues, rheumatology with probable corticosteroid injections, pain management, sports medication, a long journey rheumatology with probable corticosteroid injections, pain management, sports medication, a long journey for But if I hadn't thrown my back out from coughing and vomiting from the vaccine, we wouldn't have found these issues in my skeletal, muscular and nervous system from mid spine down.
Long story short...
Fully vaccinated, working on improving nerve, spine, and muscular health after finding significant issues in these areas after throwing my back out.
Well, this is good news.
This is insane!
I feel so bad for these people.
And to have this...
At least he doesn't have COVID. I guess anything's better than COVID, right?
Yeah.
Alright, so we have these damn vaccines.
Now the guidance comes out.
It kind of follows along with your first clip there about what can you really do when the CDC is releasing their guidance.
This morning, Americans eager to restart their lives inch closer to normalcy.
With more and more people getting vaccinated each day, we are starting to turn a corner.
The CDC issuing new guidelines for people who are fully vaccinated, suggesting Americans who have received the full dose of COVID-19 vaccines can get together indoors in small groups with family and friends without masks or social distancing.
They say if grandparents are fully vaccinated, they can visit and even hug family members who aren't vaccinated as long as no one is high risk.
So smart to do this.
This is how you market this stuff.
Now you can hug.
Grandparents, you can hug.
Oh, there were so many stories over the last few days.
Of course.
It was beautiful.
And they were all tearjerkers.
Oh, this poor...
This 80-year-old couple that...
Oh, no.
90-year-old couple that had been married for 75 years.
They couldn't hug.
Yeah.
And then they have them hugging and they're going on and on.
And the guy...
The woman's actually kind of embarrassed by this guy, by her husband.
But he's going on and on, and they're hugging, and they're filming the whole thing, and everybody's around looking at him.
They're grasping their hands in front of their chest, and, oh, isn't that so sweet?
And they're watching them hug.
It's disgusting!
Yeah!
Loving people is disgusting!
What's disgusting is the mind control that's being propagated everywhere.
We go to Good Morning America with the Stephanopoulos.
You did release the guidelines for vaccinated people.
What are the most important things that those who are vaccinated and those who are not should know about these guidelines?
Importantly, they really reflect what people should be doing in private settings.
We are not suggesting that people who are vaccinated can go out and take off their masks and do things in public settings, gather in big gatherings.
What we're saying is in the privacy of your own home, you can meet with other vaccinated people.
You can hug them.
You can dine without wearing your mask in your own home.
You can also meet with people who are unvaccinated but have low risk of severe disease in your own home in small settings.
Yeah, only one.
Only one if they're unvaccinated.
Luckily, Stephanopoulos asked a few follow-up questions.
For those who were vaccinated on the early end, those who were vaccinated back in December and January, how concerned should they be about the possibility that their protection may fade over time?
Oh!
Ha ha!
Wow, great!
This is some of the data and evidence we are watching really carefully.
We are watching for breakthrough infections.
We're monitoring this really carefully, and it's some of the science that we're waiting to emerge before we liberalize our guidance.
It's the reason we're taking these baby steps.
So I heard this a lot.
We're waiting for the science.
Science is now a new word for data that we did not gather during the trials.
And as is evidenced here by Dr.
Smith.
You know, you can stop.
That is absolutely what they're doing.
This is a giant experiment.
Yep.
Instead of a trial, they just decided to roll it out and let the public be damned.
Yep.
We're guinea pigs.
And that's exactly what she meant when she said, we're waiting for the science.
We're waiting for the science.
Yeah, we're waiting.
If this thing actually did get thrown through the whole real system, it would have never been improved.
Which is why it's emergency use authorization and not approved.
Oh, wait.
And somebody, by the way, pointed out.
Yeah, I got it here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's a lot of lawsuits going on now because one person found that if you're required to take the vaccine under whatever circumstance, like you work at a hospital or whatever, and they make it mandatory...
If you start looking at the law, U.S. Code, it's very difficult to make it mandatory to take an experimental vaccine.
Experimental vaccine, of course.
It's crazy.
Jen Psaki on TikTok is propagating the lie.
This means that anywhere you go to get a vaccine, you should just take that vaccine.
They've all been approved by the FDA. No.
These three vaccines.
No.
And hopefully it will expand access and make more doses available across the country more quickly.
Lie.
I, not approved.
It is not FDA approved.
But Fauci is going to take it one level higher.
He's going to explain that you are being experimented on, that they don't have any data.
It's just that they call it science.
You know from the Biden administration that they say it will make its decisions based on science.
What's the science behind not saying it's safe for people who have been vaccinated, receive two doses to travel?
You know, that's a very good question, John.
And the CDC is carefully heading in that direction.
You know, when Dr.
Walensky made the announcement a day or two ago about the fact that when you have a couple of people, two or three or more people in a family setting, both of whom are vaccinated, even if it's someone from another, a friend that doesn't have to be a member of the family, that was the first in a multi-step process that they are going to be rolling out.
They're being careful, understandably.
They want to get science.
They want to get data.
And then when you don't have the data and you don't have the actual evidence, then you've got to make a judgment call.
And I think that's what you're going to be seeing in the next weeks.
You're going to see little by little more and more guidelines getting people to be more and more flexible.
The first installation of this is what can vaccinated people do in the home setting.
Obviously, the next one is going to be what you're asking.
Right.
What about travel?
What about going out?
What about getting a haircut?
What about doing things like that?
That's all imminently going to be coming out.
He said it right there.
We don't have the data.
So we're just making a judgment call.
Oh, that doesn't sound very scientific.
Doesn't sound scientific to me.
And the phase, was it the phase three trial?
Judgment call is not scientific.
I think the phase three trial was multiple months.
So, we did get an interesting update from General Perina, I think it is, on the rollout of the vaccines.
A little troubling, if you consider the truth, might be trying to slip out in this one.
Till plan, very extensive requirement of over 70,000.
States are already executing, are going to execute this week, and we are executing the scaled...
Scaled start with CVS and Walgreens this week.
The bluff is, if they want to do it, we can figure out how to get it done.
But we are ready to really take a good, hard, right approach to executing and taking care of these great Americans that are in the elderly category.
They're ready to execute these Americans.
That's what it sounds like.
That's what they've been doing in New York.
Well, this question popped up on Face the Nation with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.
He also had an odd response.
Are you confident that New Jersey did not undercount, or deliberately or otherwise, nursing home deaths?
Our health department, our commissioner, was explicit.
Black and white.
If you readmit a previously COVID-positive resident, they need to be segregated.
They need to be separated.
I don't know what he's saying there.
Something about black and white and then segregated, but he meant separated.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to play, let's do a little round the world on these vaccines.
Oh yes, good, good, good, good.
This is an interesting one.
This will be under China, vaccines, Phil, as for Philippines and Pakistan.
Sinovac shot out of desperation.
95% of doctors, Mary Louise, at the country's biggest hospital said they're wary of Sinovacs and how much protection it provides.
Trials show strikingly different results.
But Birwar says he read the data.
He's convinced that Sinovac was safe to use.
And he'll take his chances on efficacy.
So Birwar decided for a vaccine that won't harm him against a virus that could.
Here he is.
What's at stake?
It's your life.
So for me, I didn't want to gamble with my health and my life.
So I decided to take it.
It's not really like saying, I trust the government.
It's just, that's the only thing you can give me right now.
So I have no choice.
The Philippines has secured Western vaccines, but they haven't arrived.
China really has stolen the march in distributing vaccines there.
Dia, hop in here, because Pakistan's also gotten a bunch of vaccine from China.
Is that right?
Are you seeing or hearing the same distrust there?
Yeah, we do get a sense of that here, Mary Louise.
Consider a recent poll of more than 500 doctors found only 9% were willing to take Sinopharm.
9%?
Yeah, 9%.
And it's a different Chinese vaccine than the one that's being offered in the Philippines, but the sentiment is broadly similar.
Doctors say it's because Pakistanis see Chinese products as shoddy.
But it's the only vaccine because the Chinese government donated half a million batches.
But even a month after frontline health workers began being vaccinated, only about half that supply has been used.
Government health officials do say the rollout is going on smoothly.
But consider this.
Health ministers of Pakistan's two largest provinces have had to threaten their health workers to get jabbed.
And so it's going to say, if that's what it's like, the health workers vaccinating the public, it's going to be an even bigger challenge.
And that's not just because the available vaccine here is Chinese, but because COVID hasn't really hit Pakistan very hard, and so there isn't a sense of urgency.
No, it hasn't hit very hard.
No, I'm sure they probably snuck in and stole some COVID packs from India.
Ivermectin, probably.
That might be a solution.
There's one.
I got a weird one from around the world.
And it's interesting because it came from Indian TV. Before you go on, I want to at least mention something about what you just heard.
Which is they make a big deal out of it.
Nobody wants these Chinese vaccines because they're shoddy.
Yet...
Nobody wants to really discuss that lab in Wuhan, which has obviously shoddy security.
Now it's starting to come out that that's where that virus came from.
I just wanted to mention that.
That'll never be confirmed and attested to.
That's just going to go away in the fuzzy annals of history.
And up there with the mouse won't work, it'll be a Wuhan bat and a pangolin.
A pangolin!
And a pangolin, exactly.
Don't forget that thing.
So Pfizer, I have come to learn, did not take any government money for their vaccine.
So they are completely free to do whatever they want and sell wherever they want, which in a way explains a couple things to me.
One, it explains the Israel situation where they did just a deal with Israel for the whole country.
There's no other competitor in there.
And it seems like a lot of Israelis I know feel that there are guinea pigs over there with this thing.
The CEO of Pfizer wasn't allowed to enter Israel because he had only had one of his damn shots, not two.
And now this news about what they're doing in Argentina is a doozy.
Talks between Argentina and Pfizer began in June 2020.
In July, President Alberto Fernandez held a meeting with Pfizer's CEO in Argentina.
Guess what followed?
Pfizer asked to be compensated for the cost of any future lawsuits.
What does that mean?
Say someone filed a civil lawsuit against Pfizer in Argentina, and if that person wins the case, who pays the compensation?
It won't be Pfizer.
It would be the government of Argentina.
Now, Argentina had never done this before, but it made an exception.
It needed life-saving vaccines, and desperate times call for desperate measures.
So Argentina's parliament passed a new law in October 2020.
But Pfizer was unhappy with its phrasing.
The law said Pfizer needs to at least pay for negligence.
For its own mistakes, if it happens to make any in future, Pfizer rejected this.
It won't pay for its mistakes.
Argentina then offered to amend the law to define negligence more clearly, to include only vaccine distribution and delivery under negligence.
Pfizer was still not happy.
It demanded the law be amended through a new decree.
That's when Argentina put its foot down.
They refused.
Pfizer then asked Argentina to buy an international insurance.
What for?
To pay for potential future cases against the company.
Argentina agreed.
In December 2020, Pfizer came back with more demands.
It wanted sovereign assets as collateral.
What does that mean?
Pfizer wanted Argentina to put, and listen to this, put its bank reserves, its military bases, and its embassy buildings at stake as collateral.
LAUGHTER This is great!
This is unbelievable.
You know, I'm now starting to think that we are watching one of the greatest marketing schemes.
Mm-hmm.
The entire COVID event.
Listen to this.
From the beginning.
Oh, yeah.
One of the greatest marketing schemes that we've ever seen in the history of mankind.
And Pfizer is the lead in this whole thing.
When you just played that clip, which I'm going to give you a clip of the day for, does happen.
Okay, well I'll take it now then.
Clip of the day!
Shows the absolute...
From one perspective, you'd say, what nerve?
But from the other perspective, you'd say, what genius?
And if you're a marketing guy, you'd go, my God, these people, this is the most amazing thing they've pulled off.
This is crazy.
A reminder of the 60 Minutes appearance by Bill Gates.
They were doing the overtime.
Bill Gates' advice on how to combat mistrust in science at 60minutesovertime.com.
Sponsored by Pfizer.
Okay, so now what is coming?
Right, right.
More examples of marketing.
Sponsored by Pfizer.
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
Who's the guy behind?
Who's the genius?
The biggest challenge was the timeline.
How are we going to do this?
We couldn't pursue a vaccine in a normal way.
We broke the process.
How many people will die if we don't have a solution?
Mission Possible, the race for a vaccine, premieres Thursday, March 11th at 10th on National Geographic.
Paid content created for and in collaboration with Pfizer.
Boom shakalaka.
And Pfizer's got to be behind that earlier clip that I played that you gave clip of the day to where you get the shot, you get the disease afterwards, and it proves the shot works.
It's dynamite, baby.
Yeah.
Now, there's only one thing that the mainstream media can start pushing back on, and they have to report on it, but they're not doing any in-depth or really even laughing about it.
Remember, Bill Gates, Dr.
Bill, was quite clear that, you know, yes, it could be super painful in your arm.
That was pretty much it.
Super painful in your arm.
Well, it's gotten to the point...
Where you have entire, let me see if I, this one, you have entire school systems that are shutting down.
Because all of the teachers are taking, well, and actually I have some reports that certainly not all of the teachers, but the teachers all get vaccinated on kind of the same day.
And then they're out for three days.
Yeah, I have a clip about it.
Where the hell was it?
Yes, this one.
Nope.
Damn, I thought I had a clip of that.
Anyway, not only is it the school teachers, the politicians are also running into some trouble.
The Australian health minister, after his vaccination, totally unrelated of course, had to go into hospital.
Yeah, that's right, Pete.
Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt in an unrelated incident is also in hospital this morning being treated for an infection.
His office says that while the minister did receive the AstraZeneca vaccine over the weekend, this illness is unrelated to the jab.
Mr.
Hunt is being treated with IV fluids.
As well as with antibiotics, he is expected to make a full recovery but will be on medical leave for at least the next few days.
This does put the Morrison government in a bit of a difficult situation as there are now three senior government ministers on leave.
And here's the Ohio school system.
One middle school, two high schools, and six elementary schools closed for the day in Olentangy School District.
This after a shortage of subs following the district's second COVID vaccination clinic.
This time around, knowing that the second round of vaccinations was going to take a little bit longer to recover They decided to do the shot clinic on Saturday, which enabled teachers to have time to recover if they needed to, but it just seemed that it needed a little bit more time.
Owen Tangy School says the vaccination clinic was held Saturday to allow for some recovery time.
It contracts out subs and put in a request for more specifically for Monday, but there simply weren't enough to cover all of the buildings.
It's hard to find subs even in a good And this is happening everywhere.
I put some of the notes.
Well, hold on a second.
We have to stop for one second and just examine this a little bit.
This isn't happening with everybody.
Teachers have not wanted to teach for over a year.
I'm looking at this as just, oh, I got the shot.
I don't feel good.
I've got to take three days off.
I don't want to see these.
They don't want to teach these brats.
I think you're right.
I think you're absolutely right.
And by the way, they're the ones that made them brats.
Yes.
Yes, that's true.
Yeah.
So the teachers have created a bunch of monsters, woke kids, which is anything...
If you ever want anything to ruin a country, to have a bunch of kids that are woke...
And they're probably being questioned by the kids on everything they say because it's like, well, it's not woke enough.
So they don't want to see these kids anymore.
They're through as far as they're concerned.
They just like to get a check and stay home.
Yeah.
Yeah, who do you have?
One of our producers, he said it was like there were 800 slots in, this may have been Ohio actually, 800 slots open for teachers to get the vaccine and people just aren't showing up.
They just don't want it all.
They're not even taking it.
And so here's what becomes really uncomfortable for the mainstream media where they have Pfizer and I'm sure the other corporations must be doing their advertising.
But when Face the Nation brought together a Zoom panel, boy, that was kind of awkward.
We spoke with several Americans from across the country to reflect on the last year and look ahead.
We began by asking if the group trusted the vaccine.
I trust the vaccine, but I don't think that the vaccine is just going to be the cure-all and everything is going to be lovely.
But I think this makes things a whole lot better.
The vaccines that are out seem to be pretty effective.
It seems to be a much better way to achieve herd immunity via immunization than, you know, just having virus ravaged through communities.
I'd rather wait.
I don't want to be a guinea pig.
And is that how you view taking the vaccine right now for the 50 million Americans who've taken it?
Yes, ma'am.
At this point, I would rather wait a year or two, make sure people aren't dying from it or turn into robots or something like that.
And Gabriel, is that where you are?
I would never consider taking it.
Like Sandy said, I don't want to be a guinea pig.
You're a guinea pig.
Oh, how inconvenient.
This is not good.
And then we're having trouble.
The CCP is having trouble with its employees because LeBron James, now he said, I don't want to talk about it.
It's a personal decision.
This could not stand for the Disney-slash-CCP-influenced-and-owned ESPN. Oh no, we couldn't have that.
We need to take this news, call it something personal, and then we gotta virtue-sneagle signal as hard as we can with some other black eye.
And as the face of the NBA, LeBron James is usually an open book on most subjects, but he has made it clear he plans to keep his decision private over whether he will get the COVID-19 vaccine.
During All-Star Weekend, he told reporters, quote, I obviously saw Adam had his comments about the vaccination, but things like that, when you decide to do something, that's a conversation between you and your family and not for everybody.
Really now?
Stephen A., how do you feel about LeBron saying that whether he gets the vaccination will be a, quote, private thing?
Well, this is a very delicate conversation, and I want to address it with the seriousness that it deserves, and being completely respectful to LeBron James.
I want to emphasize that LeBron James has the right to feel that way.
To some people, it's an incredibly private situation, and As a black man, considering this nation's history, it's unethical behavior when it came to using black folks as guinea pigs in our eyes.
I definitely understand the hesitation and the apprehension on his part.
I want to make sure that I let the world know that I have decided I had the same apprehensions as LeBron James.
Particularly believing that it was a private matter, I have changed my mind.
Not only am I taking the vaccine, I will take it today.
Good for you.
I'm going to take the vaccine today.
And I hesitated for a long time not just to take it, but even more so, whether or not it was something I was going to publicize.
I've come to the conclusion that that is an error in judgment on my part that needs to be corrected immediately.
Brother.
So how is LeBron going to travel without his vaccine passport?
In his own private jet, perhaps?
Well, you still gotta get in through passport control.
But all of this is moving in such fast tempo.
This is so analogous to HIV. Because now, what do we have on the horizon?
We've got a miracle drug coming up, and the pre-promotion starts with Team Halo, trained at the United Nations World Health Organization.
Here is Dr.
Nock.
I'm a scientist who studies COVID-19.
Today is Tuesday, March 9th.
Today I will share with you some early data from a new potential treatment for COVID called monopiravir, which looks like this.
It is orally bioavailable, which means if you take it as a pill, it can easily get absorbed from your gut into your blood, which is good.
How does it work?
Well, it's a pro-drug of a synthetic nucleoside derivative.
That means it works by making the virus...
Slow down!
Make mistakes when it's trying to copy its RNA inside your cells so it can't make more of itself.
We're recently some reports from a Phase 2 clinical trial showing that treated patients cleared the virus more quickly than people who received a placebo control.
Being tested as a pill that you would take once per day for five days after being diagnosed with COVID. After five days of treatment, zero out of 47 treated patients were still shedding virus.
In contrast, six out of 25 placebo patients were still shedding virus.
So, that sounds good, but it definitely requires confirmation in a bigger study before it's truly accepted.
Yeah, okay.
So this drug is brand new.
Shep Smith, interestingly enough, I think the first, maybe the second time we're playing a clip from his brand new primetime CNBC news slot, he had the premiere of the debut of this drug.
And the reason why it's an analog to HIV, which, you know...
We gave people the AIDS equivalent of the ventilators.
That was AZT, a rejected cancer drug that was killing people.
Then it turned out really, you know, you could treat it with a bunch of other things, but hush, hush, we're finding the vaccine.
Go back and look at any of the historical articles written about Fauci specifically, how people were very angry with him.
And then they came up with this magical prep.
And prep, it's like, we didn't cure AIDS, but somehow there's this pill you can take, and it's all good, and it's advertised on television.
And now we will have exactly the same after these vaccinations turn out to not work very well.
We'll have the prep, and as it's described even, is laughable, certainly for you, as you'll recognize it.
Meg, this could be a kind of Tamiflu for COVID, is that right?
Exactly.
Yeah, that's the hope, Shep.
I mean, Mark's drug is among the most advanced of what could be a new group of treatments for COVID, oral antiviral drugs.
And there were some early hints from a medical conference this weekend that that medicine, called molnupiravir, as well as another from a company called Atia, may offer the possibility of a simple pill for the disease.
Dr.
Fauci telling us in an interview what drugs like this have been able to do for other viral diseases.
We need the same sort of thing that we have with HIV and that we have a hepatitis C. We need an oral drug that potently could suppress the virus.
I believe strongly that we will get there.
The question is how quickly we'll get there.
And it's taken longer to develop these medicines than it did for vaccines for COVID or the antibody drugs authorized for high-risk patients.
Enrollment in trials has sometimes been slower than hoped, and experts note these drugs are complex.
Some that are farthest along now were originally developed for SARS almost two decades ago, or for other viruses.
NIH researcher Matthew Hall says that's why the work going on now could also benefit us down the line.
From a pandemic preparation point of view, we need to develop antivirals now so that when something else occurs, a different kind of virus that breaks out somewhere else in the world, or that COVID-27 that we all sort of joking but not joking talk about, we're ready for it and we've got options on the table to really quickly respond.
Do you hear that guy?
COVID-27.
COVID-27, which you joke about, but not really.
But okay, yeah, this will be a pill.
And it's an antiviral.
They've already got the pills.
It's called ivermectin.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It only costs 15 cents a pill.
That's no good.
Exactly.
Now, this does give me...
This is unbelievable.
Really?
Really?
Is it really that unbelievable?
Not really.
It's not only believable, it's genius.
The way they have played this is just like, and they use the media as their marketing tool by first of all taking out a lot of ads and making the media dependent on them and then having the media do their business for them.
Look, we're spending billions with you guys.
You can write a couple of stories?
And by the way, stop talking about ivermectin, will you?
And that other stuff that Trump brought up?
That almost became a catastrophe for us.
Ha ha ha!
What is fun about this is all this pharmaceutical advertising.
And I've been tracking a few.
I said I would while I was just watching late night or early evening TV. Just a quick list of ones.
Trulicity, Jardians, Kiskali, Vralar, Skyrizi.
These are all things you don't want to have and don't want to take.
And an interesting way to address the elephant in the room of media for this past week was the cute little skit that Oprah and Harry and Meghan put on.
And we can talk about what the response was in the United States.
But in Britain, this was a prevalent response.
We began with the other global surprise revealed during the Harry and Meghan interview.
Yeah, viewers in Britain apparently shocked at the amount of drug commercials on American TV. The interview streamed online, including the commercials.
In England, it's illegal to advertise prescription drugs to the public.
One British viewer posting, help, why are all American ads about medicines?
And another Brit wrote, I can't understand why American TV ads are like, ask your doctor for, or tell your doctor.
Why would you be the one to tell a doctor what medicine to give you?
Valid questions.
Valid questions.
By the way, there are lifeblood here, so shut up already.
It's not too many.
It's perfect.
This is how we live here.
Man, we're out of control.
Did you...
I don't think anyone noticed.
Maybe me.
Did you notice the MKUltra activation event that took place globally?
No, probably.
Well, I might have, but if it has to do with that Meghan Merkle interview.
That's right.
I didn't watch the interview.
I wasn't interested in the interview.
I wasn't going to be triggered by the interview.
I don't like the idea that they even did this interview.
So I can imagine it may have been a triggering event of some sort, but since you are on it, I would like to hear about it.
Yes.
I was almost tempted to go there, but I'm not going to put up with this.
I have no clips at all.
I just want to give a quick rundown because Mo and I have been looking at Megan since episode 9, a year ago.
So we're going to follow up on that on the next Mo Facts.
We're doing that tomorrow.
But my initial...
Now, I'm a television guy, so when I sat down to watch this...
And I saw it in real time.
It was so well done, so well acted, so well scripted.
Right down to the, we're walking here with the chickens, it's like back to basics.
I've been a celebrity, I've been interviewed, I've done these types of sit-down scandal.
This was scripted, rehearsed, Good to go.
All of them are in on it.
And it was so...
Meghan Markle did a great job.
That's why I'm convinced it was an act.
She's an actress.
Of course.
But the best...
Because this was not about Meghan Markle and Harry.
A little bit.
This was Oprah.
When Meghan Markle said about the color of Archie's skin, which, by the way, black...
Conveniently black today.
Um...
That's when there was a cut to Oprah, four seconds before she goes, what?
As if she didn't know this was going to be discussed, as if it wasn't rehearsed.
Every little detail right down to her wearing a dress similar to Simpson Wallace.
Wallace Simpson.
And can I mention something else?
Mm-hmm.
Oprah is not only an actress, she's a really good actress.
I think she's even won it.
Didn't she win the Academy Award once?
Color Purple, absolutely.
He is a fantastic actress.
Merkel's an actress.
Harry is probably just learning.
But no, we're dealing with a bunch of actors and actresses.
So what do you expect here?
Well, there's a reason for it.
And Harry played his role perfectly of the cuck.
It's exactly what we want to see.
I support my wife.
I'll come in later in the interview.
Cuck.
No, that's acting.
He has more power in this than you think.
What happened here?
Oh, and as a part of that, the United States, but the world in general, is obsessed with royal family.
And part of that, this is where the MKUltra thing comes in.
Since I was a kid, you as well, all little boys and girls, mainly the girls, they have all grown up with Cinderella, with all these princesses.
We had the Frozen.
It's all the same.
You become a princess, and it's kind of difficult, maybe, you know, being a princess, but then the prince shows up.
And she even mentioned in this piece...
I feel kind of like the Little Mermaid where I had lost my voice.
That was the moment.
That was the identifier.
This was a hit job.
The Queen of England was attacked by the Queen of America.
Make no mistake how much power Oprah Winfrey has.
The whole idea was to polarize and say, look at those Brits.
Racist pieces of crap and the whole system they stand for.
The whole system they stand for.
And we had BLM demonstrations all over Europe, including in the UK. I think that when the Queen, who doesn't, you know, the firm as they call it is really other people running it, but the Queen wanted to make the royal family feel a little more at home, a little more like the common people because there's such a mix of brown and other colors in the country.
That was the weakness.
That's when they struck.
And now you've got BLM troops on the ground and they're being called racist.
This is brilliant.
This is the queen of woke has now started to take down...
Internationally.
That's what this is about.
You may be onto something.
There was the more interesting thing that happened was the meltdown, and it may have been a reflection of what you're trying to say here.
I think so.
That's what I'm trying.
The meltdown was part of it.
That's part of it.
You need to be polarized.
I'm talking about the meltdown specifically of Pierce Morgan.
Oh, no, that proves something else.
And let me explain.
So Harry said at a certain point, he said, we have a very interesting relationship with the press and the royal family.
He says it's the invisible contract, and he literally said that is intended to maintain the illusion of the royal family.
And yes, in the British press you have people who are pro and con, and they're on different sides of the publishing spectrum.
They're owned by different newspapers.
Piers Morgan, it's his job to defend the royal family.
It proves that it's true.
That was no meltdown.
That was a protect my ruler.
He's owned.
Well, you've lived in England, and you know that there are groups of people that are royalists, and they're very sincere about it.
They're not phonies.
Yeah, but he's a Daily Mail guy.
I mean, we know where he comes from.
We know what he used to do.
And there's a bunch of royalists that are sincere, and then there's a bunch of people that think the whole thing's a scam, and I should go.
I don't know.
As far as I'm concerned, it's their business, not mine.
Well, you're going to see a systematic dismantling of the true white supremacy, to be honest, these families.
And for sure, it's all horrible.
You know, you can't talk to your parents.
If your dad calls, you've got to be shaking in your boots.
I've seen it.
I've seen all these rich, royal, and connected families.
I know the prince.
I've met the queen.
I've met the king and queen of Holland.
I know!
It's like that.
But this is a takedown and this is a war.
And I can't wait to see what Oprah's next move will be.
It's not about Harry and Meghan.
This is Oprah.
Who tells Snoop Dogg what to say.
Well, we'll find out soon enough.
Yes.
And that's all we really need to say about it.
But I just thought it was a very clear NK Ultra activation event.
And I was delighted.
Delighted to see the results almost immediately.
People freaking out.
Beautiful.
Okay.
Let me see if we have anything else.
That's also some COVID stuff to get out of the way.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Get back to my clip that you never let me follow up on.
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize that.
I didn't do it on purpose.
I was doing my international roundup.
Yes, and we kind of got off track.
Let's go back to the Philippines because there's a little interesting point being made here.
This is the vaccine in Philippines...
Let me look back to the Philippines and Pakistan, because Julie and Dia, you were both talking about how skeptical healthcare workers, doctors are in these countries.
What about the general public and how the rollout might play out?
Julie, you first.
Well, it's going to be a big climb.
There is vaccine hesitancy already built into the system, into the country, over a botched anti-Dengue vaccine a few years ago where children died.
But the big picture now in the Philippines is public health policy colliding with foreign policy.
President Rodrigo Duterte leans heavily towards China.
He reviles the Western vaccines.
But the The public, the Philippine public, is on a different page.
Before the pandemic, opinion polls showed a deep distrust of China.
So a negative reaction to a vaccine made in China is fairly predictable.
But the Philippines now has nearly 3,000 new cases a day.
It has the second worst outbreak of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia.
It needs to contain this thing.
And low public confidence in vaccines is a real threat to achieving that.
I thought it was interesting that Duterte doesn't trust, in fact, the way she put it, detests Western vaccines.
I don't know if he's aware of the marketing angles, or I don't know what the deal is with that.
I always thought he was a pro-American guy.
Is that even a journalistic term to use?
No, none of this is.
Of course not.
What's PBS? Here's a clip of the vaccine.
This is another one.
This is the vaccine in Syria.
This is interesting, because there's a factoid in here we didn't know.
Ooh, about Syria.
Okay.
Reracking.
Speaking of presidents in your part of the world, Ruth, I saw the news this week that Syria's president Bashar al-Assad has tested positive.
I know you're not in Syria, obviously, but you cover Syria quite closely from Lebanon.
And it got me thinking about just the incredible challenges of trying to pull off a vaccination program in a war zone.
How's it going there?
Well, it's extremely complicated, as you say, Mary Louise.
So, for starters, the country is divided into different areas of control.
COVAX, that's the global mechanism for getting vaccines to poorer countries, has promised a batch of vaccines to both the Syrian regime and opposition rebels.
In the opposition-held areas, in Idlib province, for example, one of the key problems is that these areas are so battered, you know, hospitals have been destroyed by airstrikes, doctors have been killed, that there's barely even the infrastructure to distribute these vaccines.
Then you have the regime-held parts of the country.
Vaccinations there are underway, though, as you noted, President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma have come down with COVID-19.
The real issue in this area is whether the government will play ball in making sure everybody that needs it gets the vaccine.
Rights groups say there's a precedent here where the regime politicizes aid, trying to steer help from the United Nations and other aid groups, or in this case, vaccines, to areas where loyalists live.
Huh.
I thought it was interesting that they've repressed in our general media that this Assad and his wife are sick with COVID. Yeah, I hadn't heard that anywhere.
Also, the COVAX, that's a Gates-run outfit.
That's the Gavi's distribution arm.
These guys are in the business of selling.
There's something left.
No, it's COVAX. It is literally the distribution sales arm to countries by Gavi, which is the Gates vaccine alliance.
Yeah, the Gates operation.
Yeah.
He's in on it.
Now, this is the clip that I thought was the most interesting of these COVID clips.
And it's not really about COVID, it's about masks.
And this is the mask on...
Now, listen to this carefully, because there's elements in here that are very suspicious.
This is the mask on competition China clip.
China's Mask On Facial Recognition Project just took home the gold in a global tech competition.
Nearly 200 companies from around the world participated.
The contest was sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency under the U.S. Commerce Department.
Shanghai-based tech company Export AI scored best in show for its milestone in facial recognition.
The company's new mask-on system can identify faces even when covered by masks, no matter the material or color.
The company has kept a focus on AI development for the past decade.
The company also plans to release the world's biggest facial database and a series of benchmarks based on that data.
Facial recognition is widely used in China's Xinjiang region as a method for identifying and suppressing the Uyghur ethnic minority.
So, that's pretty good tech.
First of all, I don't believe it.
I would like to see...
This work.
In other words, they've come up with a facial...
Now, there's a number of factors here.
One, joke about, oh, you have to wear a mask all the time, you have to get a shot, you still got to wear the mask, the mask, the mask, the mask.
And now they've had, in the meantime, well, we're discussing that on this show, the U.S. Commerce Department, NIST to be exact, Puts on a competition so you can do facial recognition of the general public walking around with masks on and be able to identify them through the masks?
Yeah, because it's all part of the biosecurity state.
It's unbelievable to me that this would be the case.
Now, I would like to test this.
I've tested these facial recognition things myself, and they do work.
But I would like to try this one out and put a mask on and a pair of sunglasses.
Well, that's where the problem comes in, I think.
It's got to come in.
But even with the mask alone, I just don't see it.
It's just beyond me.
But okay, there are 200 competitors that apparently have the technology to do facial recognition while you're wearing a mask just based on your eyeballs and the distance between the size of your forehead and your ears.
Well, I know that the Apple products now can detect your face, so it's not quite the same thing.
They can detect your face even if you have a mask on, but it does need a retraining, so it's probably not.
Yeah, I don't know.
Some of the trolls say it's very possible, depending on what the imaging system is, obviously.
That's what it comes down to, but I don't know.
Who knows?
It's bad.
The point that it's being worked on is the problem.
I'm in total agreement.
That's like the buried lead there.
Right.
That is the problem, and the point that it's being worked on by our government, mainly, because we're the ones that sponsored this event.
Shut up.
You're a troublemaker.
Anyway, that clip bugged me to no end.
I can understand.
Ontario Member of Parliament, Randy Hillier, we've played him before on the show.
He's been deplatformed!
Kicked off the unimportant Twitter, which means nothing, who gives a crap for posting a video from Canadian doctors.
Yes, this video was deplatformed from the tubes, obviously, but there's no reason why it can't.
Again, this is my entire point.
De-platform people, shove them away, and we go looking for what was taken down, you moron.
Do you really think everyone goes, well, good.
No.
That draws attention.
Well, that last clip I played about the competition, here, play this clip.
That came from NTD, that news service that comes out of Taiwan.
It's actually Epoch Times, mostly.
Mm-hmm.
They've been deplatformed and they're here to play this NTD versus YouTube clip where they announce it.
Uh, NYD it says?
Maybe that's it?
Yeah, okay.
It should have been edited.
Yeah, it's alright.
Welcome to China In Focus.
I'm Tiffany Meyer.
Before we start, our videos are being censored.
Some of you say you've been unsubscribed.
Others aren't getting notified when we release new videos.
We're also being demonetized.
Make sure you don't lose access to NTD by subscribing to our newsletter.
Podcasting, oh, Podcasting 2.0, baby.
And Substack's about to end, the Keeper informed me.
Substack is going to be hilarious because you're going to see Gmail and everybody else just filter it out.
Or at least some Substacks.
Maybe they'll deplatform their payment processor.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
We'll see.
I mean, you get Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, two of the most prolific writers.
That's why it has to go.
You have no idea.
Pay attention the rest of this week.
The mainstream sub-stack is dangerous.
It's dangerous.
And those two guys, they got crosshairs.
Here's the video that you didn't see, or just the introduction, which is more than we need.
Welcome to Canadian Doctors Speak Out, where we're going to give you the top reasons not to be afraid of COVID. When we hear the word COVID or coronavirus, we now instinctively reach for a mask.
We look around to see how we can protect ourselves and our families.
No place really seems safe.
But as Canadian medical doctors, we're going to tell you what the best science now has to say.
And we think you will be pleasantly surprised.
On the TV, we hear cases, cases, cases, which would frighten anyone.
But cases are not necessarily symptomatic people.
And the vast majority have few or really no symptoms of being sick.
They just have a positive PCR swab test.
Research now shows that the PCR test is practically worthless.
Only 3% of patients with a positive test actually have the COVID virus.
People have died.
Yes, that's true.
But using case numbers gives a false picture of what is really going on.
Here's a graph showing the COVID cases reported each week in Canada.
Even I get frightened looking at this graph.
But now let's put the weekly deaths on the same chart.
Where are all the deaths that we would expect to follow the cases curve?
Something is really fishy here.
Let's look at yearly deaths in Canada from 2001.
It's pretty hard to show that we've even had a pandemic.
The slight increase in 2020 was probably due to an aging population.
But aren't hospital intensive care units overloaded with COVID patients?
If we look at the Ontario intensive care unit data, there are fewer patients in the ICU in 2020 than in each of the previous three years.
The CDC's own data compares COVID to seasonal flu.
In children, COVID illness is so mild, their death rate is statistically zero.
For people under 50, the infection survival rate is greater than 99.98%.
And for those over 70, it is 94.6%.
And that is without any early treatment whatsoever, like vitamin D or vitamin C. So if you're young, you really don't have anything to worry about.
if you're older, but we're going to give some really great ideas on how to protect your health that do not include getting a shot with a vaccine.
And I don't have to go looking for the video.
It's nothing we haven't heard before.
Well, that guy's done.
Get him off YouTube.
Get him off Twitter.
Oh, yeah.
We can't have this sort of information that's based on facts, based on graphs.
No.
Get rid of him.
What do you think the game will be for flu season?
For regular flu season?
Since we didn't have one.
For what?
Well, we're going to run into flu season.
The flu season.
So what is the game plan, do you think?
Will they magically make flu come back and it's worse and that'll be the killer?
Will it be a twindemic?
I mean, what do you think?
What will the messaging be?
What do you think?
Well, let's make the assumption.
I'm going to accept my own thesis and make the assumption that what we're witnessing is a great marketing event.
Yes.
So it's got to work into the marketing somehow.
And these guys have already outfoxed anybody else I have ever...
I can't imagine being any more talented than the people at Pfizer are for selling stuff.
So I haven't got to...
It's going to surprise us.
Let's put it that way.
It's interesting, you know, you posted that in the newsletter, that rundown of, you know, the past 40 years or whatever, of every single pandemic.
They finally succeeded, you know?
They finally got what they wanted.
They finally got a way to scare the bejesus out of everybody and to get vaccines going.
They've been softening us up with body blows.
Yeah, I... This was all supposed to happen under a different president, you know?
I think that they got problems.
They probably can't make it all work the way they want it to.
Here's a...
Oh, you mean because Biden is such an idiot?
Well, they were four years late.
I think they wanted to trial this before Trump, you know, whoever...
It was supposed to be a...
Well, no, it's going to be Hillary.
Hillary, yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Hillary, this is all supposed to happen.
She would have fit right into this because she's already sold out to the banks and everybody else.
Exactly.
She'd have really done it, done a number on us.
Well, here's some thought about it.
Again, it's Stephanopoulos with Dr.
Jen Ashton.
Let's bring in Dr.
Jen Ashton for more on this right now.
Jen, I remember so many days we warned about this twindemic coming.
It didn't happen.
Why?
Well, finally, George, some good news in the world of public health.
And if you look at this and pick it apart into two components, there's the way the virus behaves.
And now, again, we're talking about the influenza virus.
And there's the way humans behave.
And it's probably a combination of the two.
But in medicine and public health, we always want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and certainly this was the best news we could have asked for.
Looking ahead, do we have to worry now about flu coming back with a vengeance next year because our immunity is down because so few people had it this year?
I don't think it's so much that, George, but every year the flu season is a real threat.
Every year it's unpredictable.
And in speaking to infectious disease specialists, the thinking is probably that the flu will continue to be a threat.
How much, we don't know.
And COVID down the road hopefully and likely will become endemic and not pandemic, meaning we'll just learn to live with it.
Oh, it's just here forever.
It'll be with us forever.
So we're doubling down, doubling up on the shots.
Man, If you gave people, if you convince the entire globe to take a vaccine, and it won't be, let's say half, maybe half the globe, maybe, will be administered this vaccine, shot in the arm, the jab.
There is always, of every vaccination, certainly this one, there's going to be a percentage of people who will die from it.
Maybe this whole thing is just the same a-holes who want to, you know, bring down the population, and they could have shot us up with saline.
Doesn't matter.
Hey, it's another 2% gone.
Yeah, I'm never buying that argument.
It's just too silly.
There is this idea, though, that you have to keep taking this shot over and over again.
It's crazy.
And if they can sell that, that's unbelievable.
Well, I agree with you.
I mean, the shot doesn't work, it looks like.
The great marketing event.
The great marketing event.
The great marketing event of 2021.
We've got to coin this.
It's got to be, yeah, some coinage would be great.
Some coinage.
Coinage.
All of this, never let a crisis go to waste.
All of this is being, you know, getting set up for the next phase.
We all know what it is.
We go down to New Zealand.
Jacinda, the Prime Minister there, she lays it out.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Hello.
A brief look to the week ahead.
Tomorrow and Wednesday, I'll take part in a roundtable discussion hosted by the Prime Minister of Sweden and Spain with the UN Secretary-General.
The focus will be on how to build back better together from COVID and how we can more effectively work together on issues such as climate change, human rights and global health.
For a better life beyond your freedom, build back better.
Everybody.
Everybody!
For someone else.
Yeah, they're moving ahead.
So I think we will kind of get through this.
We'll see what the restrictions are, the restraints.
Masks will be with us forever.
I don't see it going away.
Vaccine sounds like a failed product.
And...
It's sad.
It is sad.
Masks.
People are...
People just have to find the courage to speak up.
The Netherlands, as predicted, mail-in ballots comprise 2.4 million ballots.
I think we talked about that because they have a curfew.
So old people, I don't think the Dutch have ever done mail-in ballots, but okay, if it works somewhere else, might as well try it.
And now they've already reported that 2.5% of all the Dutch mail-in ballots will be rejected because they had the wrong envelope, the wrong signature.
It's so transparent what these people do.
And it's the same everywhere.
And beware of this.
Washington Post is now printing, well they say anti-vaxxers, but I would say if you're vaccine skeptic, you now fall under domestic terrorism.
It's not all that funny.
Who are you terrorizing?
Your fellow humans.
How?
How are you terrorizing them by saying you don't want to take a vaccine or you think it's all bullshit?
Look, I'm not saying this.
I just want to know what the mechanism of terrorism is that you, as someone...
Say it's Jenny McCarthy, who says, well, you know, the vaccine's causing autism.
Right.
How is she terrorizing anybody with her opinion?
Well, okay, so I don't think you...
I think it has to relate to COVID and the way that would work is without the vaccine, people die.
You're clearly a Republican, so therefore it's domestic terrorism.
It's terrorism because it's political.
Republicans are terrorists.
Well, hello.
That's what they want to say.
Hello.
Hello.
I read the Twitter feeds from these people that have, you know, they have a Twitter picture.
I've collected these, by the way.
There's people with, they always have a Twitter picture that has a picture of them with a mask on.
Of course.
And then they have cartoons, and there's not just one or two of these that have the cartoons for the picture.
The cartoon has a mask on, as if the cartoon is going to get COVID. Yeah.
Why do you have your cartoon of yourself, a little caricature of yourself with a mask on?
It just doesn't make...
I mean, to me, it's just...
It's so doofus-y.
I don't even know how to...
No, I understand what you're saying.
I can end all this with the shark jump moment of the decade, and this will just kind of end it.
I've had no more coverage, I don't think, necessarily of this, but this is where the media goes too far, jumps the shark, and they're out of ideas.
The COVID relief bill is about to be law, and so the Treasury will have to withdraw.
$1.9 trillion, not billions, not million, $1.9 trillion, and that is a lot.
To have great effects, to write lots of checks.
$1,400 checks, that's what the Dems got.
Republicans said no, a unanimous no-go.
Too much, too fast, too good for Joe.
But a good day for stocks and a good day for Fox, which filled its blocks with Seuss book shocks.
Some GOP cried Seuss got the cancel, even though the racism was fairly substantial.
And the gain for Seuss was quite financial.
The distraction of it all was circumstantial.
That's your cable news network.
CNN, everybody.
DH unplugged, DH unplugged, fed limericks, as far as I'm concerned.
I have one last clip.
Okay.
This is another guy talking and bitching and moaning about the mask on your picture because you have to virtue signal to such an extent you can't even show your face anymore.
Mm-hmm.
This just happened in Los Angeles a couple days ago.
This is the baseball team, a little senior, the senior class.
The senior members of the baseball team of this Burbank High School generally have their picture taken so they can put it mostly for the families of the seniors, and here's what happened.
Great.
A group of Burbank seniors spent most of the school year unsure whether they'd even have a chance to play baseball during their final year of high school.
Now a pair of photos meant for their yearbook is keeping them off the diamond once again.
Eyewitness News reporter Leo Stallworth has reaction from players and the school district.
You are looking at the seniors on the John Burroughs High School varsity baseball team in Burbank.
The picture taken in January is part of a two-decade tradition for varsity seniors on the team to take a photo together for the yearbook.
The moms of the athletes organizing the photo op, which ended up on social media.
The Burbank Unified School District seeing the picture and punishing the players for violating COVID safety protocols, not wearing masks and proper social distancing.
The entire varsity baseball team suspended from organized practice or conditioning drills for a week, and all eight seniors on the team in the photo suspended for two weeks.
The district and board members decided, or they tried to cancel the whole varsity season as a result of the pictures.
Our athletic director and coach fought for us, and they compromised on a two-week suspension instead.
The district issuing this statement, I have decided to delay the return of athletic conditioning for the John Burroughs High School baseball team by one week so that the team can review health guidelines and safety protocols.
I look forward to the team beginning conditioning on Monday safely.
I'm very disappointed that, you know, our kids are being punished for Something that the moms arranged, and I understand that there are COVID protocols, but the boys were just trying to make us happy.
I feel very disappointed.
I mean, our season got cut last year.
We didn't get to finish it.
Our whole senior year got taken away this year, and we were very excited for starting.
We had to wait a long time, and then about a couple days before we start, they say we're suspended.
So it was very disappointing and very sad.
Why our kids who were not involved were suspended.
Brian Nichols outraised with the district for suspending his son and a dozen other underclassmen on the varsity team who were not involved with taking the picture.
It's an egregious abuse of power.
The players we spoke with say after the suspension, they just want to put all of this behind them and play baseball.
My goodness.
This is breaking children.
Oh, that's breaking children.
Breaking children.
They don't care.
The Pfizer marketing people don't care.
Here's some detail on what I was talking about in the Washington Post.
It was, in fact, your California state senator, Richard Pam, who wrote an op-ed piece.
In the op-ed piece in the Washington Post...
The state senator said laws need to be strengthened to protect people administering vaccines from being harassed.
Social media companies should not be complicit in this dangerous movement.
Getting vaccinated is a patriotic act, so is speaking up to support public health efforts.
Let's not allow extremism, division, or fear to slow the efforts to end this deadly chapter in our nation's history.
The headline, which is not...
In the op-ed, that's what the Washington Post did, is headline, anti-vaccine extremism is akin to domestic terrorism.
That's Jeff Bezos.
That's how they roll over there.
At the Washington WAPO. WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO, WAPO. Breaking children, killing old people.
Good job, everybody.
That's a wrap.
I'm sure you're parched by now.
You know, you're right, because this is kind of, it gets fatiguing after a while having to deal with all this, and so you know what it requires?
Tell me.
Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen!
Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Once again, it ain't no bud, it's gotta be PBR for JCD! You can spit on my pickup truck, call my ma a lousy whore Leave a flaming bag of dog shit outside my trailer door But don't go messing with my Pabst Blue Ribbon Cause then you're gone way too far,
keep going And with that, I thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the hugs from the CDC, John C. Demorek.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Adam C. Curry.
Also, in the morning, all ships and sea boots to the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the names of knights out there.
Kabam!
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room at noagendastream.com.
Let's count you trolls.
Hello, trolls.
Hands up.
What do we got?
1846, it is a Thursday, so that's not too bad.
In the morning to y'all, the trolls will be trolling along.
This happens in real time.
It is the instantaneous feedback mechanism.
It makes a difference.
It makes the show better.
It's more exciting.
And you hear a lot of different things at the beginning and sometimes elsewhere that you might not hear in the final finished product.
You know, when things go wrong and I freak out.
That's NoAgendaStream.com.

They're so woke, they don't want to know anything.
Horrible people.
And big in the morning, first of all to Sir Paul Couture for keeping the art generator up and rolling.
We appreciate that.
In the morning to the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1327.
We titled it China Chopper.
We had a lot of different opportunities for titling and imagery.
And Correct the Record came in with a blistering Bojo the Jabber, which just...
I think there...
I know we discuss other stuff, but holy cow, how well done was that?
And it kind of satisfied...
Our quest for maybe making that a title.
It was just dynamite.
And there were some other pieces that we liked, too.
There was a lot.
In fact, there was a lot of good art.
But I want to mention one artist in particular.
Because I used his art for the newsletter.
Sir 3D. I don't know that he's won anything.
He's gotten two or three pieces.
So far, he's only submitted a few pieces.
But I want to...
Point him out.
If you go over to Evergreen, you'll find him and click on his name and then look at his art.
Because he did a Bauhaus piece that was stuck over in Evergreen's that is so Bauhaus.
I mean, it looks like it was designed in 1920.
It's beautiful.
With the color scheme even.
The red, the black.
And ITM upside down.
Holy crap, did you see his IBM ITM on that?
This is some good stuff.
He's also got the ITM on the IBM. But the Bauhaus piece was ITM upside down.
Yeah, that was beautiful.
The whole thing is just a piece of art.
It's dynamite.
I'll put it on a newsletter.
And then he's got the okay, hi guys, okay, bye.
And then on that, he's got the Satan thing upside down and backwards.
Like the music would play Satanic things backwards.
It's got it on there.
I mean, this guy is going to have a lot of good stuff that's going to win a lot.
But so far, he's actually got more pieces than I thought.
He's got a lot of pieces.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm not looking at his page.
I'm looking at the...
Whatever.
The point is, I'd like this 3D should...
Yes.
Keep it up.
I just don't want to discourage him.
Even that little piece of code that he did.
Learn the code.
Yeah.
And it's got 1 plus 1, unless it equals 2, try again, if anything close to 2.
So you have to make it so it's the wrong answer, then it's just a hug and a correct.
It's just a little piece of code.
The guy is very funny.
What do you think, where did the yellow stuff come from?
All of a sudden, everyone's like posting yellow.
Did we say something that yellow was a green color?
Yeah, I did a whole lecture on it.
Oh, right.
So everyone took yellow and we, of course, ignored it totally.
Well, it's because none of them have hit the money, you know?
And also the yellow thing is about packaging boxes, about box software.
That's where it comes from.
Exactly.
And this is not box software.
It's art.
It's different.
As we've been discussing it, you can see several of those if you're using one of the Podcasting 2.0 certified apps.
Newpodcastapps.com.
You will not regret it.
Thanks to Dreb Scott for doing that, along with all the chapters, which makes it so easy to find stuff.
And thank you to Correct the Record.
It was just a beautiful piece.
It was put together well.
A lot of Brits loved it.
It got a lot of, holy crap, best art ever, which I'm always amazed how each one that's the best ever is just that much better.
It's part of our Value for Value Network, the whole concept of this podcast.
You're all producers.
You produce in one way or the other.
Time, talent, treasure is what we ask for.
This is a clear example of some massive talent.
Noagendaartgenerator.com where you can also participate in this.
We'll be happy to critique you.
It's what we do.
And a lot of artists seem to enjoy the process.
Well, it's almost as if you were doing, if you were a commercial artist, this is happening to you, and sometimes it's not happening enough, so you don't get the job or something like that, and you don't understand why.
And I think this open, for artists, this open discussion is very valuable.
Yeah.
It's also, a lot of artists are very timid and shy to put their art out there.
They're very nervous, and that's typical for an artist.
This is a great way to get it out there, and you just put in an alias and no one knows you, and then if we slam you...
Who's Sir 3D, for example?
Banksy.
Could be some kid.
Probably is.
Darren O'Neill with an alias?
Who knows?
Nine of you.
Genius.
Let's thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1328.
Yes, indeed.
If I can find my arrow, I will.
There it is.
And I believe this would be it.
Starting with Brian Mosier in Duncan, Oklahoma.
He came with $650.
And he writes, I want to thank you both for giving me years worth of entertainment.
I've been listening to the both of you together and separately for almost 30 years.
Wow.
In one format or another.
Holy crap.
All the time I've been an over-the-road truck driver.
That's interesting.
I've laughed and laughed at your article antics and show content.
You've carried me through many grueling nights and exhaustive days of harsh monotony.
Without your humor and great interpretations of today's media and politics, I probably wouldn't be around to give you this praise this day.
Off the road!
Oh, I can't take it anymore.
I'm happily satisfied.
I'm just sorry it took so long to complete my knighthood.
I'm looking forward to more entertainment until you finally hit your exit strategy.
I forgot to add my roundtable request in my PayPal note.
I'd like to request a trucker omelet and a gallon of black rifle coffee.
Nice.
Now, is it trucker omelet?
Is that like where they throw the pancakes, the bacon, and then all the omelet?
You're asking the wrong guy.
I have no idea what he's talking about.
I think that's what he's talking about.
Trucker omelet, baby.
Nice.
The best I could do is hang town fry.
So, he's got no jingles.
Okay, well, we'll look forward to the nighting ceremony later.
I'll do the next one, I think, as a note, which I happen to have here.
Susan Stevens, $425 from Buffalo, New York.
Did John and Adam have a nice card with beautiful flowers on it.
Did John and Adam, this contribution qualifies me for damehood.
I request Dame Susan of the Parkways and Foie Gras and a 1976 Chateau...
Oh, I can't...
Chateau de Chem.
De Chem.
Okay, I couldn't read it.
Please add my children to the birthday list.
John, who celebrates on March 9th.
No H. Jessica, March 12th.
And, uh...
By the way, foie gras and Chateau de Chem is one of the most exquisite combinations of foods imaginable.
Period.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yes.
What is it about the...
In fact, I had that exact combination at a restaurant in Berlin once, years back, and it was Dicam, which is the creme de la creme of all the Sauternes, although Riosec is almost as good most of the time.
But, yeah, goose foie gras, to be exact, because most of the stuff you get in the United States is made from duck.
Yeah, we don't want that.
That's nasty.
Well, it's not nasty.
It's delicious.
It's nasty.
It's not quite as good.
It's nasty.
So she's got exquisite taste.
I would have called for a 67 to Kim if I had my choices.
A 67 versus a 76?
Now, what do you think the 76 will cost?
I don't know, a couple grand maybe.
Nothing is spared for our knights and dames, I'll tell you.
China is asshole!
There you go.
She wants me to play it as many times as I can.
I'll just play it one more time.
China is asshole!
There you go.
And that's it.
Thank you for all you do, Susan.
Thank you, Susan.
Nice.
Well, it's here.
No expense spared.
Oh yeah, it costs just $2,000 out of the fund.
Oh well.
So Saturday night's next on the list.
From Toronto, Ontario at $582.54, which is really not what he paid.
That's in Canadian money.
That's why it's kind of off the order.
My producer note, celebratory night, Sir Saturday, will be at the Burlington, Ontario, No Agenda meetup on March 20th at 1 p.m.
Nice.
Come meet too hot for host, Sir Saturday, who has been blocked by both John and Adam on No Agenda Social.
Well, hold on.
Hold on.
So yesterday, I see a post, presumably, yes, from Sir Saturday Night, and he says, Adam, I'm going to do his voice, okay?
Because this is how I read it.
Oh, how much do I have to donate for John to unblock me?
And to which I reply, no, that can't be purchased.
To which he replies, oh, it's only all about the money for Dvorak.
That's why I saw it.
And I took that as an insult to my partner and I blocked him.
He's one of those guys.
He will be at the Nuremberg trial of noagendasocial.com.
He may hang from the highest rafter.
I'll just go back and see if I... I don't know how to unblock, to be honest about it.
You go to your profile and go to blocks.
I don't need to know.
Sir Saturday will also be a guest on ABS and a six-pack podcast on April 3rd.
Okay, you'll love it.
You want it for Christmas.
Please play the new short I Got Ants clip that I submitted.
He did that, I guess.
Yes, a while ago I have it, yes.
Okay, no one has requested it since I... That's not true.
They haven't requested it per se, but he played it on the last show because I remember it.
This is Saturday's issues.
This is why he gets blocked.
It's this attitude.
He's irritable.
He's irritable.
No one has requested since I sent it in, and I want to hear how it sounds.
It was played last show.
This is a Canadian donation of 528.54, which puts me at the next tier of Baronet.
Okay, we're going to upgrade it.
However, I do not want this title changed, because it would ruin the Saturday night joke of my whole thing.
So we're not going to...
Don't upgrade him.
Take him off the upgrade list.
I think he's on the upgrade list.
No, he wants to be.
He just doesn't want to change his name.
Oh, okay.
We'll just upgrade it, and then he can just drop it.
And a shout-out for Catherine's birthday on May 21st.
Hope that's on there.
Yeah, of course it's on there.
All right, so Saturday night, of course we've got your Ants clip.
I got ants.
That's it.
That's what he made.
Wait, maybe he means this.
I got ants.
This is version 3.
Yeah, that's better.
That's the one I wanted.
Okay.
Yeah, that's better.
Thank you.
Andrew Waugh.
And that one wasn't played last time.
Andrew Waugh in Cincinnati, Ohio, 333.33.
This is my first time donating at a producer level and a listener since...
I've been a listener since 2013.
I hereby repent and I humbly ask for a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
Now, he's not on the birthday list that I know of.
Uh, I shall...
And today marks his 33rd, another 33, trip around the sun.
What a fine gift could I afford to myself than to support my favorite twice-weekly dose of infotainment sanity.
Thank you both for all you do.
I would love a goat karma if you can spare it.
Yes, I'm looking to see if he's on the list.
You've got...
And he celebrates today, I believe, right?
I think so.
Andrew Wah.
Wah.
33 today.
Nice.
Okay, he's on the list now.
We got him.
Catherine Emery in Dallas, Texas.
333.33.
K.A. from Allen, Texas hit me in the mouth about a year ago and then called me out as a douchebag on my 60th birthday.
Oh, nose.
On your February 28th episode.
So at least I got off my wallet and sent you the magical number of 333.33 I owed you just to get the monkey off my back.
Is this a dedouching request?
She doesn't say that.
Oh, she says it down below.
Oh, there it is, the bottom.
We'll do it now.
You've been dedouched.
We can't touch any patients who haven't been dedouched.
Anyways, I started out listening to you for about 20 minutes each episode, but as the pandemic shit show deepened, I began to indulge in increasingly larger doses of no agenda and caught on to your lingo patterns and show flow.
By the time I'd been listening for six months, I was as sophisticated enough to routinely copy clips from shows and drop them as comments into Facebook and And Twitter posts of woke-tards and butt-hurt leftists.
Don't sugarcoat it, whatever you do.
I found that it infuriated them, and that made me happy.
By the way, this is Mimi.
She does this, sort of antagonize it.
Uh-huh.
Antagonized the peanut gallery.
In fact, I made one guy so mad when I posted a Joe Biden party clip I heard on No Agenda.
He stayed up until 1 a.m.
Christmas morning posting increasingly angry retorts that I never acknowledged.
This is good use of social media.
This is how you're supposed to do it.
Alas, all that fun ended when I exited the platforms of the Ayatollahs.
Anyway.
Oh, she goes.
Actually, there's a spacer, but it should go.
The Ayatollahs, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Wohicke, and Pichai back in January.
That's okay.
It gave me more time to listen to No Agenda.
Would you please play the drops for me?
D-Douche, she got.
Donald Trump, Don't Trust China, and Noodle Gun.
Donald Trump don't trust China!
China is asshole!
I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit.
I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
Alyssa Kaufman in Menasha, Wisconsin, 333.33, a very popular donation today.
Uh, ITM, please credit this donation to my smoking hot husband, a switcheroo.
Dan Kaufman, aka Dank, steady on NA Social for his 39th birthday, another birthday.
On March 11th, I could think of no better gift than making him an executive producer on the best podcast in the universe with his birthday landing on a show day.
I knew it had to be done.
He has been donating to the show since day one.
He has donated in the past, but has not had a proper de-douching.
Oh, no.
You've been de-douched.
Yeah, for jingles, please play Biscuit on my birthday and as much of the Ant song as you'll allow.
That one is his favorite.
Happy birthday, babe.
Thank you for being an amazing husband and father of the human resource.
And I love you so much.
And I especially want to thank you for hitting me in the mouth.
Now that's a real wife right there.
Thanks for hitting me.
I'd say.
They always give me a biscuit on my birth.
I got ants.
I got ants.
Twice in one show.
That's crazy.
Zoe Hannon.
Yeah.
Random numbers.
Zoe Hannon in Crestwood, Kentucky, 333.32.
You probably have that note.
I do.
I have Zoe's note up here, and this is handwritten.
Was there a front...
No, it's just notes.
Nice, clear handwriting.
In the morning, to you, John and Adam, this is $333.33.
Please apply this donation to my husband's night ship.
Hood, I guess.
He is deployed overseas right now and has been trying to hit me in the mouth for over a year.
He's a douchebag, so please de-douche him.
You've been de-douched.
During the election debacle of 2020-2021, YouTube brought me back from the brink of what the actual fuck to my usual who-gives-an-F baseline.
I've listened to every show since.
Thank you for your contribution to my sanity.
I don't need any clips, just some karma for my husband's safe return.
Thanks, y'all, says Zoe.
And absolutely, the long-distance relationships, it seems particularly deployments overseas, the No Agenda show, is helpful to some degree.
And so here is the karma for his return.
You've got karma.
Sir Beelo's next.
He came with $333.01.
And he's in St.
Joseph or St.
Joe, Missouri.
This donation, gentlemen, this donation is to allow me to call out my friend Dustin as a douchebag.
Douchebag!
I hit him in the mouth some time ago and he's now listening on the regular.
Step up, brother.
Hopefully you didn't take my threat too seriously and get an instant night today.
No, he didn't.
Nope.
No jingles.
Goat karma for all.
Also mention no agenda at the Felix Street Pub in St.
Joseph, Missouri for a free shot of courage.
That's mentioned no agenda at the Felix Street Pub in St.
Joseph, Missouri, for a free shot.
Okay.
Yours truly served below.
Someone's got to report back on what happens.
You get a shot.
You get a shot of...
You get a shot of courage.
Courage.
A shot of rye.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Umami Mama.
Hello, Umami Mama.
Kansas City 333.
Umami Mama in Kansas City.
My husband and I are long-time listeners, first-time donors.
Please de-douche us.
You've been de-douched.
We've attended our first meetup recently and felt it would be well past time to cleanse ourselves of our miserly manners.
My husband has been saving up to give you guys an astronomically large, numerologically fancy donation.
When I told him that I was about to donate, he caved and decided to split the donation cost with me, probably afraid of being called out as a douchebag.
Could we please get some house-buying karma in this seller's market that everyone seems feeling the need that we...
That everyone keeps feeling the need to tell us that we're in?
Yeah.
Same here.
Hey, man.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
It's a seller's market.
Gee, it's funny.
It's always a real estate person saying that to you.
Thanks for everything you do, Mommy Mama.
Apparently...
Yeah, let me give the karma a hand.
You've got karma.
No, apparently...
Yeah, you said it twice.
Oh, apparently...
From what I hear...
Oh yeah, I'm just going to keep saying it now.
People are offering up to 150% of asking.
Hey, welcome to...
This has been on and off around here for...
No, this is...
It's completely the same.
We have the douchebags.
We got the Ferraris on the street.
Some douche yesterday would, like, license plate looped me up or something.
Fuck you.
get out and ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, ring.
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah, keep your foot off the pedal, douche.
Thank you.
That's exactly...
That's exactly how I felt about it.
Yeah.
Draw attention to yourself.
Yeah, I mean, it's bad.
I mean, having a Ferrari is fine.
It's a nice driving car.
Everyone should own one, but you can't afford it.
Everybody should own one.
It doesn't mean that you should be...
Hey, look at me.
I got a Ferrari.
Yeah, that's pretty much it.
Hey, my penis is small.
Zoe.
Zoe, meanwhile, or Zoe.
Zoe in Hampton, Virginia.
333, she comes in.
Sadly...
I've been an avid listener for longer than I care to admit without donating.
Please accept my first monetary contribution.
Sincere, humble apologies, and please dedouche me.
You've been dedouched.
No agenda has provided the only glimmer of reason, logic, and competent analysis through the noise of this global pandemic psy-op nightmare.
The sanity you both provide is worth more than I could make in 10 lifetimes.
Wow.
Thank you both for what you do.
Seriously, I'm sure it's not easy, but you're making an enormous difference.
Anyways, I would like to call out my newly minted and smoking hot husband, Ray, as a major douche.
Douchebag!
That's how you set the relationship up from the get-go.
Make sure everyone knows their place.
Yeah, she does a good job.
This is like a setup.
It is.
Please play Obama sucking in soot in some jobs, Carmen.
It'd be much appreciated.
until next time so you might die Sucking in soot.
You might die.
I'm sucking in soot.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
I'll grab this one.
Keith Larson, our first associate executive producer from Long Lake, Minnesota.
$250.
Thank you.
In the morning, Adam and John, in my last quarterly donation, the note I requested, and the note I requested and received Jobs Karma, with mixed emotions, I report that I've obtained employment since then.
Mixed emotions, why?
Well, because I really enjoyed my time off, especially since I moved from Minnesota nuts to Florida for the winter.
Anyways, my first paycheck amounted to $1337.
This is an episode that's coming up soon, by the way.
1337.
Not a magic number, but close enough to remind me it was time to contribute my newfound value to the best podcast in the universe.
Please accept my treasure and I submit two comments which demonstrate I have time but no talent.
One.
The penultimate show before your planned vacation by my calculations will be show number 1334 on April 1st.
If you divide the show number by the date 401, the result is 333.
Somehow you can turn that into a fundraiser.
Okay.
Two, I challenge the producers with musical talent to record a song based on The Doors' L.A. Woman.
In place of the Mr.
Mojo Rising segment, I propose Slow Joe Biden got to keep on lying.
The lyric possibilities are endless.
I'd love to hear it end of show.
Thanks for doing the work.
Adios, mofos.
Keith, so would I. You know who I miss?
I miss Sir Chris Wilson.
So Chris Wilson, still on NoAgendaSocial.com, but I think we burned him out on the end of show songs.
As sadly as I... Well, you predicted that, by the way.
It always happens.
It always happens.
He was going so hard, man.
I've seen it.
Yeah, it happens in people that write, too.
Yeah.
But it'll never happen to Glenn Greenwald.
That guy can just write for us forever.
God, no.
It just never stops.
He said, oh, man.
I'm reading one of his things he just sent out bitching about something, and then he's going...
He bitched about something he's bitched about before this one woman at the New York Times that he really...
Oh, yeah.
This is...
Yes, of course.
And so she...
I've actually looked into her.
Taylor Lorenz.
We'll talk about it on the show someday.
Taylor Lorenz.
But I'm reading.
Yes.
And I'm reading.
I'm reading.
So this is getting pretty good.
He's going on.
And I'm looking at the little slider on the right.
It's not even halfway.
It's not halfway.
It was barely budged.
And I've already read like an hour's worth of material.
What?
It makes no...
I mean, Glenn Greenwald, every time...
Oh, Glenn Greenwald article.
He violates the rule about essays, which you make one point, not three.
Yeah, and then squirrel.
Now, my favorite one from him was about...
It was about almost a month ago where he...
And I sent it to you.
I said, listen to this.
He felt not as much...
He didn't have enough room.
So he wrote, like, still too long of a piece.
And then he added a video clip where he...
Talk for a half an hour.
He should do an extra column a week and spread it out.
I don't know.
It's one of those situations where you could actually use an editor, even though most writers hate hearing that.
I use an editor.
And Sir Dave Fugizotto could probably use an editor, so I'll hand it to you.
Yes, and I do have Dave Fugizotto, the Duke.
I've edited him here.
Very good.
I'll read his notes.
Gents, I just finished the latest show and I wanted to share my experience in Saudi Arabia with various COVID apps.
I submit this not as a content but as proof as I'm indeed still in the magical kingdom.
So he wasn't doing it for any sort of interesting because it wasn't.
He's got a list of three different apps that are being used around there and he's got an outline in great detail.
And it's nothing of any importance to anybody that's not there.
We have one or two other people in the area and they can talk amongst themselves.
He goes on to say, interesting, they note the immunity date at about 10 days after my first shot.
Pfizer has been the main vaccine used out here.
Well, of course, they got guarantees on the oil wells.
Probably.
They probably take over the oil.
We need some some oil as a collateral.
But they're rolling out the AstraZeneca and Moderna flavors as well.
One thing I will say is that the vaccination process is surprisingly well organized.
Once you get your appointment, you're in and out in literally minutes.
Surprising because the general sense of disorganized chaos one sees as part of normal daily life in Saudi Arabia.
We are on our third 60-day termination notice since July, and things are rolling quickly to our program's demise.
We don't know what he does.
I'm confident my role here will be complete sooner rather than later, and I'm cool with that.
I would hope so.
Hopefully the company has enough money left for me to cash in the 60 days of vacation time I've accrued.
Ah, that's always a problem.
Oh, yeah.
They want that money.
Now, if they'll only reopen the international travel, 17th of May, inshallah.
Inshallah.
The...
The country finally reopened normal in restaurant dining and most things except for gatherings or larger numbers as of today.
Working on setting up a meetup with the producer John alerted me to.
So I'll file a report once we have a successful link up.
I got the web and I got the web Hubble telescope joke, John.
That is all goat karma for everyone, please.
Thank you for your courage.
And Dame Melody and Dame Isabella, he misses you and loves you very much.
You've got karma.
Now you can get the next couple probably.
Yeah, Sir Addison, CEO. Fix my borked spreadsheet.
Your spreadsheet's borked?
Yeah.
Okay.
This Fuguzotto know borked it.
No, you edited it.
That's why.
No, I didn't really.
I did something else, though, that seems to have borked it, so I have to probably reload it.
So you can continue in my stead.
Sir Addison, CEO of Shitposts and Ebles, 2333 St.
Charles, Missouri.
Sir Addison, CEO of ShitpostsofEbles.com, here to produce another episode of the best podcast in the universe.
Yes, you are.
I just wanted to say that I greatly appreciate No Agenda Social and Gitmo Nation as a whole.
These last few months have been difficult in many aspects, but Gitmo Nation is the most supportive and diverse group of people in the universe.
It's like a party!
As always, the Gitmo Nation discount code is no agenda for lifetime, 33% off all products at ebulls, E-A-B-L-E-S dot com.
I read all the notes and appreciate the ITMs.
Keep up the good work.
No jingles, no karma, but thank you, and we thank you very much.
You can continue.
Jonathan...
I'm reloading the original, so it's good.
Yeah, no problem.
Jonathan Sersky, 212.10, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Scandinavia.
Just need some job karma for a recent interview.
Oh, so you just did the interview and now you need it?
You bet!
Ha ha!
We're reversing time.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
Yeah!
You got karma.
Yeah!
Wes Olson, Seattle, Washington.
$200.
Been listening for a month and love the show.
Well, welcome, Wes, and thank you.
That's a quick donation.
Wants a dedoucher.
You've been dedouched.
Said, if possible...
Where am I? I lost my place.
Um...
If you could, I would love a Heavenly Farts, Dumps, Fauci Wheeze, and Karma.
Okay, I think we can line all that up for you, and we'll do that for you right now.
Before we begin, let's pray.
Let's pray.
Heavenly Farts, Heavenly Father.
They did Dumps.
They call them Dumps.
Big, massive Dumps.
I'm back.
You've got karma.
Where are you?
Which one?
I'm done.
We don't need you anymore.
Tony Travostino from East Banger, Pennsylvania.
$200.
Love the show.
Here's some dough from Tony.
Tony Travostino.
Mr.
Travostino.
Mr.
Tony Travostino.
And finally, our last executive, associate executive producer for episode 1328, Stephen Nix.
$200.
He's from Dawsonville, Georgia.
A note additionally sent to john at dvorak.org and adam at curry.com to prevent PayPal note cutoff.
Millennial dude named Ben, extremist Christian with psychopathy here.
Thanks for the exceptional value you provide.
I've incorporated value for value in my daily life.
Want to meet like-minded people near Georgia via meetups as I've been living home alone as a hermit for too long.
Attempted meeting people at church, but apparently my opinions aren't welcome in churches anymore.
Go figure.
I am at Elgo on NA Social, at E-G-L-O on NA Social.
D-Douche, please, no jingles, no karma.
Praying for you both, and we pray for you as well, Stephen.
And I'm sure that we can find some people to hit you.
You're up on the now-closed secret club, noagendasocial.com.
You've been de-douched.
And that wraps up our nice group of people here.
Nice notes, not too long, very impressive.
So that was our executive producers and associate executive producers for show 12, 13, 28.
We're getting to, what was that one he was, 13, 34, and then it was also 13, 37.
That's the big boy.
That's the big boy, yes.
That's the lead donation.
Shit, I'm going to donate for that.
That's going to be really good.
Thank you.
These are very authentic credits.
You go ahead, look on IMDb, you'll see more producers, even some Hollywood types who use these.
This is no joke.
You are really a producer.
We've shepherded births and evolved the value-for-value model, and we have really a group that just can't quit.
You cannot buy this type of production.
You cannot buy this type of financing.
Put it on your business card.
Oh.
CV, resume, business card, your website.
Put it on your vaccination passport.
That you are executive producer or associate executive producer of episode 1328 of the No Agenda show.
The best podcast in the universe.
If you'd like to do it again for Sunday's show, please go to our donation page.
Easy to remember because all the kids sing the jingle.
Thank you for your time, your talent, or your treasure in this case in our value for value model.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
Always at the ready.
Two can play that game.
I think we should do a quickie on, let's see what's going on with Nigel Farage.
He's quit the party.
Is that the Brexit party, or which party did he quit?
Yeah, the Brexit Reform Party.
Farage has in recent times been the leader of Reform UK, formerly known as the Brexit Party.
He said on Saturday he'll quit as leader, but will still have an honorary position within the party.
Having been an effective campaigning politician, Farage now wants to continue influencing British public opinion through media and social media.
His top priority, to counter the infiltration of the Chinese Communist Party in the UK. He says the CCP's influence has been growing in Britain, but the British establishment has effectively sold out to it.
He says a big educational campaign to inform the public of this worrying trend is needed, and he will fight for that.
Faraj is also concerned about the indoctrination of children in British schools.
He says schools aren't teaching young people critical thinking.
Instead, children are being politically propagandised.
Campaigning for the health of oceans and encouraging people to plant more trees are also on his agenda.
Is that his agenda?
Plant more trees?
Has he gone green now?
Yeah, he's always been a tree guy.
He needs some place to take a pee when you're in the woods.
I do have some climate change stuff.
We've got two clips if you're interested.
Are we on a climate change?
I don't have any climate change material, so you're going to have to take this segment.
Yes.
Well, it's ratcheting up.
That's part of the Build Back Better.
We heard Jacinda, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, already say it's time to Build Back Better.
This is about the time.
You know, you come out of this, unfortunately, they're going to have to take Joe and President and Vice President on the road to communicate some of this Build Back Better stuff.
Yeah.
And Greta, Greta Thunberg, she is not happy with Joe.
She does not feel that he has done anything that he promised.
He's not doing it the right way.
He just got in office.
Yeah, well, so...
Here is, uh, she was queried about this, and she gave a very open, very honest response.
Is there a specific policy goal?
If he rang you up and said, Greta, what should I do?
What, what, what?
I can wave a presidential magic wand, executive order.
What should I do that I'm not?
What would you say to him?
Well, nothing, because that's not democratic.
I mean, an elected leader cannot do anything without support from voters, and I would not want anyone to do anything that would not have the support, because that would be undemocratic, and democracy is the most precious thing that we have, and we must not risk that.
So what we need now is to raise awareness and to create public opinion, to treat the crisis like a crisis, because if people are not aware of the crisis that we face, of course they won't put pressure on the elected leaders.
So I would just tell him to...
To tell the situation as it is.
Because, I mean, yes, you could say I meet with a lot of world leaders and they say I can't do anything because I don't have the support from voters.
Well, how can you expect support and pressure from voters if you are not treating the crisis like a crisis?
Since the climate crisis doesn't exist, how can we expect people to want climate action?
Geez, lady.
Well, what's interesting is she said, since the climate crisis doesn't exist, how can we expect action?
The terms are, and there's a reason I'm playing this clip.
So she's, instead of saying there's no urgency, she didn't do the houses on fire thing, she said there's no climate crisis.
And although we can chuckle and say that's right, because there isn't, what she really means is the term climate crisis.
And this is never just a thing that's not coincidental that Greta comes out and starts talking to the media.
I hate to do it, but he is important in this particular context.
Watermelon head.
Curry!
Carrie!
Freudian slip.
He's all over the climate crisis.
The scientists have told us very clearly that we have to take certain steps.
We have to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions at a certain pace in order to be able to hold the Earth's temperature increase to 1.5 degrees and in order to reach net zero emissions by 2050.
By the way, his tongue went out the minute after he said that.
What?
Did he say temperature?
Oh, yeah.
This guy is an elite douche.
That's a douchey thing.
Temperature.
Temperature.
Well, we say major.
It's not temperature.
It's temperature.
Temperature.
In order to be able to hold the Earth's temperature increase to 1.5 degrees.
Okay, maybe I... It's in the middle somewhere, but you know that he's on his way to Europe, so he'll be talking like that.
And in order to reach net zero, net zero emissions by 2050, that time period is the area within which we have to act.
Now, if we don't act right now, in this next decade...
We do not have the ability to hold it to 1.5 degrees.
We lose the ability to have net zero by 2050.
And the result of that will be massive dislocation, huge food interruptions, increased intensity to storms, sea level rise, and so forth.
Now, I'm not saying this.
The scientists have said it.
People who have spent their life analyzing these facts and statistics and making this judgment.
So we, as public people, have a responsibility to represent our populations sensibly and by using common sense.
We insure our homes.
Where you have X percent, it might burn down.
You insure your life.
We have X percent, you may have a heart attack.
We have 100 percent certainty that these bad things are happening because of climate crisis.
There it is.
We need to respond accordingly.
There it is.
Climate crisis.
He's pushing it.
That will be the new term.
It won't be global warming.
It won't be climate change.
It's just climate crisis.
It's been signaled by the elites.
We discussed when this came about.
This was over a year ago when they came up with this term and they tried to push it.
They've been using it on democracy now.
But it was a competition between the other term, the other option, which was climate emergency.
Yeah, alliteration.
So there's a climate emergency and a climate crisis, and the emergency seems to have lost out.
Alliteration is always better.
I mean, why would you even, I mean, if we were in the meeting, we'd know.
Climate crisis is the way to go.
Yeah.
I think.
Well, it seems to work.
Alright, I got a couple of...
I got some China stuff.
I got Biden.
I got at least...
Normally I only do Biden on Sunday, but I couldn't resist this one.
Yeah, we need to do the Biden because it's...
I mean, I'm almost ready to open up the pool.
He's going to collapse.
I mean, you're not going to die on the spot, but something bad is going to happen.
I'm not going to argue that that's true, and the pool might not be a bad idea, even though it's sick.
Now, let's start with this little, this is on the Jim Bohannon show.
Some caller comes in and he mentions a few things.
He's dealt with this kind of thing before.
I thought this was a good clip.
Congena in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Good evening.
I wonder why Biden was in the bunker for so long, etc., etc., and what's going on with him now that he can't do interviews and things like that.
And having worked with a lot of dementia patients, with hospice and all, I can tell you right now, the state he was in, after he won the nomination, so they got him at home and kept him at home, and they put him on medication, like Aricept or Namenda.
My mother was on Aricept for a while, which by the way, for those who don't know, Aricept was a medication, and this was 20 some years ago.
But the promise that was made was not that the Aricept would correct the mental decline, but it would slow the rate of mental decline for about nine months.
In my view, I think it worked for that nine months, but I mean, again, it only slowed the rate of decline.
It did not stop it.
I'm sorry, what's it called again, that medication?
Aricept.
Aricept?
Okay.
For about nine months.
In my view, I think it worked for that nine months, but I mean, again, it only slowed the rate of decline.
It did not stop it or certainly not reverse it, but just for those who aren't familiar.
And I would have to think, Gina, that was, like I said, 20 years ago.
We have better medications now.
They still use it, but they also have other things that a lot of people like ADHD patients use.
And they give them things to brighten them up a little bit, like Ritalin or any kind of a speed.
But what they were trying to do was halt the progression and try to get him to focus better.
And once they assessed him that he was about at top speed, they put him out there.
And he did okay for a little while, but now you notice that the stress of the job and the hours that he's putting in, he's declining again.
You think?
Geez.
Now, I bring this in because he's going to be giving a public speech today.
Yes.
Now, whether it's going to be pre-recorded and edited, which is what I suspect...
But that's not what the press actually wants.
The press wants him to do a Q&A so they can talk to him.
That's not going to happen.
They're handling it with kid gloves right now, but that doesn't last forever.
And here he is.
This is the one that went around the net, which is where he forgets the Secretary of Defense's name and can't say Pentagon because he doesn't remember what it is.
After he's announcing two women being moved up the ranks in general ships in the army, I believe.
And he's giving them the congratulations.
And then he turns to his Secretary of Defense, Austin, that guy, black guy.
And they can't remember his name.
And then he just fumbles around.
And this is going to be, hopefully...
Mainly because of this segment, even though at some point I'm going to stop doing this because I think it's getting pathetic.
Hopefully it'll show up again tonight, even though I'm sure they're going to jack him up with something.
Hopefully.
I just want to thank you both, and I want to thank the former general.
I keep calling him general, the guy who runs that outfit over there.
I want to make sure we thank the secretary for all he's done to try to implement what we just talked about and for recommending these two women for promotion.
Thank you all.
May God bless you all and may God protect our troops.
This Aricept, there's a commercial here from 2009.
Do you mind if I just listen to what it does and what their example is?
Yeah, I'd like to hear it too.
Every Sunday, lasagna at Mom's was a family tradition.
When she started forgetting things, I was hoping it was nothing.
Grandma!
What a nice surprise!
Mom, It's Sunday.
That's when I knew I couldn't wait.
Mom's doctor said these were signs of Alzheimer's, a type of dementia, and that prescription Aricep could help.
He said it's the only treatment proven effective for all stages of Alzheimer's.
Studies showed Aricept slows the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms.
It improves cognition and slows the decline of overall function.
Aricept is well tolerated, but not for everyone.
People at risk for stomach ulcers or who take certain other medicines should tell their doctors because serious stomach problems such as bleeding may get worse.
Some people may experience fainting.
Some people may have nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bruising, or not sleep well.
Some people may have muscle cramps or loss of appetite or may feel tired.
These studies were usually mild and temporary.
Talk to your doctor about Aricept.
Don't wait.
Alzheimer's isn't waiting.
Wow, that's the reason to take it.
I mean, I forget what day it is all the time.
I'm always saying Sunday when it's Thursday.
Well, there's a reason for that.
It's not Alzheimer's.
No, I understand.
But that's all that it takes to get someone to go on this stuff?
Biden's wet.
Yeah.
Ask your doctor if it's right for you, if you can remember your doctor's name.
I mean, there's a million jokes you can hear about this.
And they're all sick, and I apologize in advance.
That's okay.
I do have one...
I don't know if you have a cancel culture segment ready.
Yes, yes.
I have one gem.
I do.
Yes, please.
I mean, there's only two segments, but yeah, let's hear it.
What you got?
This is the Chinese director who won the Golden Globes and the first Chinese director in history to get as far as she's gotten in Hollywood as a director.
And the Chinese are all over.
This story is not being played in this country.
This is, again, from NTD. And it is really, I think, it's kind of amusing.
This Chinese director punished by the Chinese.
The Chinese regime is leading a statewide boycott of the award-winning film Nomadland.
This because of a comment from its Chinese director back in 2013.
NTD's Don Ma has more.
An award-winning Chinese director is facing backlash in communist China.
That's for a comment she made back in 2013 critical of the regime.
Chloe Zhao is the director of the 2021 American movie Nomadland.
Last Sunday, she made history at the Golden Globe Awards with her new film.
Zhao became the first Asian woman ever to win the title of Best Director.
Zhao's win was initially celebrated in China.
On Chinese social media platform Weibo, her win trended with hundreds of millions of views.
Chinese state media even crowned her as the pride of China.
Chinese film authorities approved the film for a domestic release in April.
But Chinese internet users soon dug up an interview Zhao had in 2013.
Zhao told Filmmaker magazine at the time that China is, quote, a place where there are lies everywhere.
A lot of info I received when I was young was not true.
I went to England suddenly and relearned my history.
When she was 15, her parents sent her to study in the UK.
There, she studied political science in college, and that's where she learned the truth about China.
Now the film's release is up in the air.
Major Chinese online box office apps have removed the movie's release date from their platforms, and the hashtag Nomadland is no longer searchable on Chinese social media platform Weibo.
Censorship in China could be a significant issue for another film Zhao would direct.
it's a big budget Well, it's...
Yeah.
This is big, because now we're dealing with Disney, and Marvel, and China, and this woman, and they don't know what to do.
Everyone has got to be beside themselves, because they're talking about half a billion dollars, or billion dollars.
I mean, who knows?
She's the pride of China one minute, the next thing somebody digs up one quote, and she's done?
This is a good example.
This is happening not just in the United States.
This cancel thing may have really had its origins in China.
But it's being exported.
Again, Black Queen strikes the Queen of England.
This is going to happen everywhere.
Globalism.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, totally.
And what I'm seeing now, and I asked for it previously, I said, where are my Asian American producers?
Which I don't think we've heard from, or maybe they just don't want to identify.
Because now finally, and we know that the Asian Americans were all over January 6th.
They were very angry, and rightfully so.
And now we have two examples, most recently in the press, revolving around Asian discrimination.
But it's very interesting.
The first one is Mumford& Sons' banjo player.
You probably heard about this.
His name is Winston Marshall.
And the reason he is being cancelled is because he...
tweeted that he enjoyed Andy Ngo's book.
Andy Ngo's book is unmasked.
It looks at Antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy.
And, of course, Andy Ngo is Asian, Asian American.
So this guy gets cancelled so hard, he has to post this.
And it's really sad when you read what someone has to do to reclaim their dignity by really making yourself undignified to the max.
Over the past few days, I've come to better understand the pain caused by the book I endorsed.
Endorse the book.
I have offended not only a lot of people I don't know, but also those closest to me, including my bandmates, and for that I am truly sorry.
As a result of my actions, I am taking time away from the band to examine my blind spots.
For now, please know that I realize how my endorsements have the potential to be viewed as approvals of hateful, divisive behavior.
I apologize, as this was not at all my intention.
Andy, no.
The guy who was brave, brave to go report on Antifa, who was beat up by Antifa, you can't even endorse this book?
And...
Yes?
This is pathetic.
Well, at this point, we need to have a woke apology generator.
Because all you have to do is just put in your name and say, you know, I apologize.
Not my intention.
I need to take some distance to learn.
I like the woke apology generator.
Out there, we've got the guys that can do it.
It's the WAG, baby.
Woke apology generator.
WAG. The next piece...
This is probably more entertaining.
Again, anti-Asian sentiment.
This is the new Teen Vogue editor who had some tweets unfurled.
When she was around 26, she's 36 now, the tweets have since been deleted, but some of the stuff was, I'm reading here, in the tweets which have since been deleted, McCammon said she was Googling how not to wake up with swollen Asian eyes and referred to a teacher's assistant as a stupid Asian.
Now, it's really too bad that they aren't doing those tweets verbatim because, from what I recall of that tweet, she had gotten a bad mark on a test because the stupid Asian teacher's assistant had asked her to show her work.
And we all know showing your work is racist.
And this is what it's boiling down to.
Asians need to be kept out of the picture because they need to be discredited because math is racist.
Because the Asians are good at math and they can calculate and show you all this dumb stuff you're claiming is not true.
So they have to go away.
And they are in fact what we call the inconvenient minority.
And there's a kid called Kenny Zhu, and I caught him on American Thought Leaders, which is a, and this is important, I think, is the Epoch Times, so that's Falun Gong, so that's, you know, anti-CCP, and this is not happening just by coincidence.
A lot of these Asian Americans are also conservative, and here he talks for about a minute about the inconvenient minority known as American Asians.
The left's narrative is that if you are a white person, you're privileged, or if you're a person of color, you're oppressed.
But Asian Americans inconvenience that narrative because although they're a person of color and they have experienced racism and discrimination in this country, I think the recent wave of anti-Asian attacks proved that to be completely true.
They have experienced racism.
They still perform at a level that is comparable to whites and even higher than whites in things like grades, average SAT test scores, average income, and those kinds of things.
They inconvenience the narrative of the left because even though they're supposed to be oppressed and supposed to play victims, they actually, because of their culture and because of their educational skills and traits, are able to achieve a modicum of middle-class success in this country.
And I've even heard that there's this language used where, you know, basically, you're kind of white.
How does it work exactly?
White adjacency.
That's the new narrative in our culture today.
One thing I talk about in my book...
There you go.
You're not Asian.
You're not a minority.
You're white adjacent.
How disgusting can you get?
Well, I wonder if this is connected to a clip I have here, which is the Asian hate clip.
Because this is being promoted around...
Everywhere I go in all the news stories, they're talking about all these attacks on Asians.
And this is in the Bay Area.
And it tends to be, although there's one crazy white woman where this happened to, the clip you're about to play, it's two black women, two black girls...
And a Hispanic girl who got into an Uber cab and is recorded and filmed.
None of these people are idiots.
And it's being followed up as a hate crime, even though it's happened in San Francisco.
So the district attorney doesn't like to promote anything that has anything to do with anything.
Except letting people out of jail.
Just let them out of jail.
That's all he cares about.
He's just a horrible guy that they put in there and they're ruining the city.
But just listen to this clip.
There has been an alarming and rising spike in hate crimes, primarily targeting Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders.
Now, as Eyewitness News reporter Carlos Grande tells us, elected officials in L.A. are moving forward with a new campaign to help put a stop to this violence.
The video shows three women in the backseat during an Uber ride berating the driver.
It was unbearable.
It was threatening.
I was scared of my life.
Subhakar Kabka is from Nepal and has been driving for Uber for three years.
He says he was picking up the three women in the Bayview area of San Francisco when he noticed one didn't have a mask.
He asked her to put one on and that's when they started coughing and yelling racial slurs.
The cursing thing was too much.
The ladies were even talking about shooting me, calling their cousins to shoot me.
And they were making fun of my race.
This is one of a series of incidents and attacks all across the country against members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.
Hate is something that we have to address.
Today, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved and funded an anti-hate program to deal with this increase in violence.
Officials say, according to a report by the LAPD, anti-Asian crimes in Los Angeles jumped 114% in 2020.
We must expand the county's only anti-hate program to show that L.A. County stands with our marginalized communities when they are under attack.
Uber issued a statement saying the behavior seen in the video is appalling.
The rider no longer has access to Uber.
Kopka says the entire incident was very painful and he still feels traumatized.
Yeah, well, my belief, again, is that Asians are good at math, math is racist, Asians no good.
It's that simple.
They have to disqualify any smart thinking.
Show your work.
Oh, really?
That's racist.
Well, this is not workable.
No, it's entirely unworkable, but it's bubbling up now and it's being pushed.
I think it's...
I suspect Epoch Times.
I think those guys are pushing this.
They're pushing this as hard as they can.
They have some...
I hope they have some endgame, but at least it's exposing something that is just not getting out there at all.
White adjacents.
Give me a break.
Yeah.
Anti-white adjacent.
That's bad, isn't it?
That's a good one.
I've got that down as show title.
There you go.
Talking about show titles, do you have any ISOs?
Hold on, hold on.
What did I step on?
The whole donation segment jingle.
Oh, I was going to...
No, go ahead.
You were going to say, speaking of...
Speaking of ISOs.
Do you have any ISOs?
Yes, I do, actually.
Do you have any?
Well, let me play this one first.
Okay.
How about this one?
This is another one.
It's all over.
It's over.
It's over.
Hold on.
Where is it?
It's over.
All right.
What is this?
It's over.
Is that me?
It's over.
That's no good.
You can't use that.
I know.
Somebody sent it in.
I said, oh, jeez.
Try this one.
This is from my favorite, Bullbear.
Bullbear?
Bullbear.
She always uses this terminology.
This is victimhood.
Oh, okay.
Hold on.
Victimhood?
Victimhood bullcrap.
That's pretty good.
Maybe mine, though, this is the kind that I think would come back in donation segments.
Ready?
Here it comes.
Oh my gosh, they're so moist.
You don't like the moist?
No.
Well, I don't see what it's got to do with anything.
Nothing.
I just thought it was a funny phrase.
Well, it's a word that triggers a lot of people.
That's the main reason I like it.
Let's keep it with...
Victimhood bullcrap.
I like that.
We'll keep that one.
That's probably good.
Okay.
I think that's good.
Play us in, and then I'll...
I'm looking at if there's anything we need to go into, but this is all good stuff for later.
Go.
I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
And in fact, we do have a few people to thank for show 13, 28, starting with Sir Julian, who comes in from Page, Texas with $123.
I think he's got something to say here.
I don't know what it is.
But you may look it over if there's something.
We'll go back to it.
Mr.
Kumar in India, I think.
Is that him?
Let me see.
I was setting up the...
Dude, our neighbors in China and Pakistan, in his very strict law, sending money.
Yeah, he's having trouble getting money.
Yeah, he finally sent it to the SWIFT system somehow.
Well, this is the second time.
This is the second donation he's done to direct SWIFT transfer, bank transfer.
Not the best way to do it.
I loved your email to him.
Hey, grab me a couple of those COVID packs.
Send them to me.
Yeah, two bucks.
Yeah, I'd like a couple of them too.
It could be a lifesaver.
Yeah, we'll see if we can get some.
Wesley Clark has two bucks.
I think I put a picture of one of them in the newsletter.
It's a COVID pack, and it's got the zinc, it's got some other thing in it, and ivermectin.
And it comes in a blister pack.
Yeah, and it also has the steroid.
Yeah, the steroid thing, whatever it is.
And it comes in a blister pack with instructions.
You pop these, take this, take this for three days, this for two days, and you're good to go, which probably accounts for, you know, India having three times the population and half the number of cases that we have in this country.
And it's two bucks for the whole pack.
And that's Indian bucks.
And I'm thinking, well, this is the reason these things.
These guys, that's not what marketing guys do.
They don't want this.
They want to block.
No, no, no, no.
We can't have that.
There's no money in that.
You know, let's just don't have a treatment.
Let's just have the vaccine, make some cash, get out of here.
I'm not going to market that crap.
I'm not going to spend advertising dollars on that.
No, not when it's only two bucks.
Yeah.
Wesley Clark's next from Stanley, North Carolina, $100.
Ron Van Dyke in the Netherlands, $100.
Per Ingvarsson in Sweden, 888.
And he is promoting geomagnetic reversal, which is happening as we speak, by the way.
A couple more years before it's really going to take us out.
Well, it could take a hundred years for all we know.
Elias Kekish in Tapaloosa, Georgia, 8008.
Please de-douche me, please.
It's been over a year.
You've been de-douched.
John Harvey in Nashville, Tennessee, $75.
He's got a birthday coming up and he's got a...
Let me just read this.
I like to put my smoking hot better.
Half on the birthday list for $3.11.
Aaron is my true love.
Absolutely perfect in every way.
When we first started dating, I would play no agenda on our long car rides between New York and New Jersey.
Shit, where were you in New Jersey?
I wouldn't call her a fan from the start when you guys would do your TV exec bit on a woman news anchor.
She had the notion that you were male chauvinists.
True.
We are.
True.
I knew over time that if I hadn't forced NA on her, she would fall in love with the JCD, ACD, charming, dynamic, and ultimately the best podcast in the universe.
And so they've moved to Nashville, and he says happy birthday to her.
All of my love, John Harvey.
She's available for party decor or making JCD and Adam heads for sticks.

I don't think.
Oh, yes, I have it here.
I put it aside.
My donation is to wish the love of my life, William, a happy birthday.
Born in 1969, he turns 52.
I sent a check because, well, screw PayPal and support the post office.
Besides, it gave me a reason to make you this card.
She made a handmade card that is absolutely very artistic.
And she puts a smiley face on here.
We've been listening for years and she left the card blank so I can repurpose it.
Yeah, send it to me.
Love and light.
Cat.
Love and light.

Thank you.
Very sweet.

Give all the information to Eric the Show.
He's got a great producer website he's been working on.
If you really want to produce this show and you want to track everything and get everything done, wait until that thing's open.
It's beautiful.
However, for now, we just do it in the old-fashioned manual way.
We congratulate both of them for becoming a knight and a dame.
And let me see, do we have anything else on this particular...
No, that's what we have for that.
Now we need to talk about the little party we always like to put on.
No one should have.
Meet-ups.
Meet-ups.
It's like a party.
Just like a party, the meet-ups take place all over Gitmo Nation's.
So also in, what is this?

Hey Adam, Sir Booch here, and I hope you guys, in the morning, in the morning!

Go look at NoAgendaMeetups.com.
You will be amazed at how many people organize these and where they are all over the world.
And the great thing about it is you come together, you meet people you just might not bump into.
One could be a truck driver.
The other could be a professor.
You can have a waitress.
You can have a teacher.
You can have a fireman.
You can have a video jockey.
It's all possible at the No Agenda Meetups.
Noagendameetups.com.
They're like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered on hell's flame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
That's just one thing I wanted to mention before we go.
Someone sent me a JSON, which is just a data format, of a profile on Clubhouse, which is, you know, it's a very woke, very problematic place.
So when you get a JSON, you know, it has things in there like your user profile, your user ID, your name, the URL of your profile picture, your username, your first name, your last name.
If you're new, if you're a speaker, if you're a moderator, were you invited on stage?
But there's this very peculiar field in here, and this is someone who took a picture of a screen with this on it.
I've tried to track down the origin of it.
It looks legit, but who knows?
There's a little field in there for skin tone.
And in this particular case, this user...
Skin tone on what scale?
Oh, it says 3.
So this person's skin tone is a 3, so I don't know if it's a 1 to 5, a 1 to 10.
It may be completely bullcrap, but I just wanted to point it out.
It sounds like bullcrap.
It looks real.
But I like the idea, and you would say this.
Well, yes, because this program is so sophisticated that it will change the white balance and do some finagling with the algorithm so you'd look perfect on screen.
You won't look washed out.
Except Clubhouse is audio only.
It is?
Yeah, Clubhouse is just audio.
You didn't know that?
No, I don't know anything about Clubhouse.
It's something I have zero interest in.
We have enough stuff to deal with.
But if it's audio only, okay, then it makes it silly.
There's one thing that I had to thought about.
If someone hasn't already done this, you might want to consider it.
Clubhouse, I mean, I've not been on there.
I've seen plenty of videos.
I'm not interested at all.
How do you see videos if it's audio only?
No, because people record it and then post the screen recording of their phone where you see the little icons light up when they're talking and they record it.
That's how you record a clubhouse meeting.
So it's a video of what people look at on their phone, which is just a screen filled with people on stage or not or in the audience.
What I don't understand is why anyone is wasting any time on this.
You need to go straight to corporate.
This thing, this conference call app, that's what it is, it's a conference call app, should be sold as a conference call app.
It would revolutionize conference calls.
Conference calls in business suck ass.
The free numbers suck ass.
They're horrible.
They're no good.
This is perfect.
You can moderate.
You can give someone the microphone, bring them up on stage.
You can shut people down.
This is a great product for business.
For people, it is destructive and stupid, just as a consumer app.
Well, that sounds like an exit strategy.
I didn't want to mention it.
Men's this baby over to business.
We too can just license the Chinese back-end technology.
That's where they get it from.
Yeah, all the Chinese will license to anybody.
Best price.
Best price.
One of our dudes named Ben might want to help us along.
Help us exit.
Yes, we need a dude named Ben that can help us on this because we're too old.
Speak for yourself, young man.
Time to exit.
Time to exit.
I got some migration stuff.
I can move on.
By the way, I got a Mike Lindell clip.
It's not about him.
It's not with him.
And I have a little question and answer thing here.
You want a place that's going to start a website.
He's going to start his own YouTube.
He's fed up.
And MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he's launching his own social media website after Twitter suspended both his accounts.
He made the announcement on Charlie Kirk's podcast last week, saying, quote, every single influencer person on the planet can come there.
You're going to have a platform to speak out.
Adding, we are launching this big platform so all the voices of our country can come back and start telling it like it is again.
He goes on to say with his site, people won't need YouTube.
He says people will be able to talk and not walk on eggshells.
He hints he'll launch in four to five weeks, but didn't elaborate more.
His sight would be going up against the likes of Parler and Gap.
Oh my goodness, another guy is going to burn money.
Yes, this is the way he said money, but I have to name the best name he could possibly choose.
Can I guess?
Pillow Talk.
Ah, I knew you.
Ah, I nailed it!
I nailed it!
First time ever.
Oh, excuse me.
We are both on the same level as marketers.
No, when it comes to an Ask Adam thing, it's not about marketing.
On marketing, yeah, you're right.
We're on the same level.
So you'd come up with the same name, Pillow Talk, which is obviously the best name in terms of just kind of a gimmick to help promote his company.
Even if you waste money, it's all a write-off.
It's perfect.
Okay.
Have we registered this yet?
Are we doing this once again without trying to get the domain name?
PillowTalk.com.
I'm sure that's not available.
There's no way PillowTalk.com is available.
I'm sure somebody else, he's going to have to buy it from them.
Let's see.
There could be a version of it.
Good luck with it.
PillowTalk.tv.
Let's see what's taken.
.com is taken.
What's left?
We got...
Oh, PillowTalk.energy is available.
PillowTalk.dev.
PillowTalk.page.
Oh, brother.
Yeah.
You know, Parler is still not back on the App Store.
Oh, it'll never be back.
No, of course it won't.
Which is...
I mean, it's...
Give up, people.
Give up on this crap.
Give up on it.
It's really not worth your trouble anymore.
And he should just give some money to us.
The best podcast in the universe.
We'll propagate his message.
Yeah, we can do that.
We'll just...
We read whatever people want us to read.
This one is...
One last one I want to run is this one, which is the Democrat Socialists.
Have you heard about this?
This hasn't been played up much.
Yes.
Is this about half the local party quitting or something?
No, they all quit.
If you go onto the Nevada Democratic Party website, you will see that not a single staff member is listed.
This is because every staff member quit...
After Democratic Socialists won all party leadership roles on Saturday.
According to The Intercept, Judith Whitmer, the newly elected party chair, was notified by the party's executive director, Alana Mounts, that the entire party's staff and all consultants were resigning.
Staffers claimed that Whitmer was going to fire them anyway, but she denied those claims.
Whitmer won with the backing of the local chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.
And the support of the party's progressive wing aligned with Democratic Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders.
Three other progressives backed by the DSA won the other four leadership positions, this effectively turning Nevada's Democratic Party into a socialist party.
2020 House candidate and progressive Jen Perelman responded to the news on Twitter saying, What the Democratic Socialists did to the Nevada Democratic Party, we're going to do the same here in Florida.
Perelman had previously shared plans to replace what she calls establishment Democrats, starting at the local level all the way up to the White House.
This is a plan shared by many far-left progressive and socialist activists.
John Ralston, founder of the Nevada Independent, told CNN's Chris Silliza.
That those who don't support the newly elected Democratic Socialists in Nevada have vowed to set up a separate entity.
This could mean two competing factions for the Democratic vote.
Rosden says that with the 2022 elections just around the corner, Republicans could end up being the winners of this Nevada shake-up.
Oh, gosh.
We're not going to stop.
2020, 2022 on deck.
Keep pushing.
Keep pushing.
It's out of control.
It's so tiring.
It's real.
What happened to the Justice Democrats?
You know, the Justice Democrats, I think, morphed into these Democratic Socialists.
Oh, most likely, sure.
Because they seem to have fallen apart.
That's not the kind of ending I need.
We're the only ones that keep tabs on this stuff.
We are.
And we'll do it again for you.
I mean, who else talks about this?
All they talk about is how many people got vaccinated.
You know, with the various, you know, and they don't even talk about the bad side of the vaccination.
This is unbelievable to me.
The news is pretty...
We have to...
I want to tell people out there this.
We have to dig through a lot of different sources to get the stuff that we play here.
That's true.
It's not one or two little things.
You know, it's not...
I mean, I do listen to the mainstream, too, but this material has been very piss poor recently.
It's borderline boring.
And it's not borderline boring.
Well, when it's borderline boring to me, then it's really bad.
It's boring.
It's not borderline boring.
Well, I hope we didn't bore y'all.
And come back on Sunday.
We'll do it all over again.
Please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Everyone else, contribute your time, your talent.
Treasure is welcome as always.
End of show mixes today.
We've got Tom Starkweather and Hugh Allison on deck.
And providing you with emergency broadcast authorization from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the capital of the drone, Star Estate, Austin, Texas, FEMA Region No.
6 on the governmental maps.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where after this show, I'm off to Costco.
I'm John C. Dvorak.
We return on Sunday right here.
Thank you, trolls.
Thank you, artists.
Thank you, void, everybody.
Just thank you all.
Thank you.
We love you.
Until Sunday.
Adios, mofos!
And Sarge.
Together. Together. Together. .
It's too long we've allowed the virus to provide us.
So when you have a situation...
As many of you saw last night...
There's now a New York City variant that they say may weaken vaccine effectiveness.
How concerning is that?
Yeah, it's a great question.
I think when you get a question that is asked by many women, that's not necessarily proportioned to what the actual risk is.
And it's not the time to relax.
We have to keep washing our hands.
Well, Andrew, I think the report speaks for itself.
First of all, the release of the report itself.
And the transparency that that provides.
This is a report that...
We're gonna do it together.
To have two is fine.
To have three is absolutely better.
Listen to Dr.
Fauci.
We're going to do it together.
Together.
Together.
This is a race against time.
This is an addition to the more than 125,000 blankets FEMA has also made available.
I know a lot of people want to send blankets or water.
Just send your cash.
And blankets all across the state.
Then there are no people who have priorities.
I call that open season.
Listen to Dr.
Fauci.
There have been no red flags of anything that anyone would be worried about.
Guess what?
We also landed a rover on Mars.
The other day at breakfast, the keeper, my lovely wife, was frightening.
I hadn't even started my coffee.
And she says, you know, we should do some axe throwing.
And that was a little startling to me.
All my axes are thrown in Texas.
Is she good with throwing an axe?
I don't know, but who comes up with that?
Texas is the place the keeper dearly loves to be.
But all my axes are thrown in Texas.
Do you still love me?
That's why I'm hanging here with Mr.
JCD. Oh, okay.
Got that out of the way.
Nice.
The best podcast in the universe.
Adios.
Mofo.
