Hello!
Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
It's Thursday, March 25th, 2021.
This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1332.
This is No Agenda.
Broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where all they're talking about is gun control.
I'm John C. DeVarack.
It's like one buzzkill in the morning.
It's so predictable, isn't it?
So predictable.
And you knew that it would be...
You knew how it would go down.
You knew how it would go down.
Big problem with this one.
Big problem.
We can't be having no Muslims doing stuff.
That doesn't fit what we're supposed to be saying.
But that's kind of back in it.
Democrats are in power so the Muslims can...
Yeah, so they...
Get back into the...
Oh, yeah, no, it's like...
We had nothing for four years.
We had no terrorism, nothing, but now...
That's the good old days.
Crazy guy.
Here's how, in the United States, NPR reported.
Now, I'm going to play a short clip first of how NPR reported on the Atlanta shooting.
You'll recall this was the shooting that was immediately...
Turned into a narrative of hate against AAPIs, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, as if they're one damn group.
And of course, there was a white guy and, you know, there was Asian women.
So this was the report on NPR then.
Police in Georgia are investigating multiple deadly shootings that took place in the Atlanta area last night.
Eight people were killed, many of them reportedly women of Asian descent.
Authorities are still investigating a motive, but we will note that advocacy organizations have recently released data that shows that reports of hate crimes against Asians have surged nearly 150% in 2020.
Now we go to the Muslim killer in Colorado.
NPR is a little more cautious.
The first thing to know and remember about a mass shooting in Colorado is that it's early and not all the facts are in.
And that's enough.
That's all they did.
Gee.
Transparent, isn't it?
Well, they did have a couple, a little more than that, later.
I have a couple of things that are kind of interesting.
Man, you're not on the mic today, John.
Hold on.
Or you've got to turn something up, because you're just...
I'm not.
Well, you want me to turn something up?
Yeah, can you turn it up a little bit?
Turn up your micro phone?
Test, test, test, test, test, test, test, test.
No, it's not doing anything.
Make it louder.
Make it louder!
Test, test, test, test.
There you go.
There you go.
That's better.
I hope Des Lauders maxed out.
Yeah.
Oh.
Okay.
So I would suspect you should turn it up, too.
Yeah.
Well, it's already maxed out here.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.
Something's amiss.
Yeah.
I wouldn't have asked.
All right.
I guess I have some clips of this, too.
Well, I have...
First of all, I have the Fox clip, if you want to hear that.
Sure.
The Shooter 1 Fox clip.
Yeah.
No intro?
Play that.
Good evening, Brett.
As we get more details from the arrest affidavit, it is becoming more clear what a chaotic and terrifying scene it was that unfolded here yesterday.
Witnesses say the gunman first shot someone in a vehicle and then went to shoot somebody else.
Afterward, walking over, standing over this person, shooting several times.
This has been a painful year.
And we sit here once again surrounded by seemingly incomprehensible, senseless loss.
A community, a state, and nation in mourning after Monday's mass shooting in Boulder.
After working all night to identify the victims and inform their families, the police chief read the names of those killed.
Women and men ranging in age from 20 to 65.
And I cut out most of what they had because it was mostly just people sobbing on screen.
But let's play Shooter 2 and finish this.
21-year-old Ahmad Alisa of Arvada, Colorado, wasn't just spraying bullets.
Each shot was a specific target, an image and sound that won't soon be forgotten.
Just seeing those shots is just going to bring it back.
It's not going to go away.
According to the arrest affidavit, Elisa purchased a Ruger AR-556 pistol a week ago, and a family member said they had seen him playing with a gun that looked like a machine gun in recent days.
I know that there's an extensive investigation just getting underway into his background.
He's lived most of his life in the United States.
In an interview with his brother, the suspect was said to be paranoid, antisocial, and had mental health issues.
Colorado, home to a number of high-profile mass shootings, once again in familiar territory.
This cannot be our new normal.
We should be able to feel safe in our grocery stores.
We should be able to feel safe in our schools, in our movie theaters, and in our communities.
We need to see you change.
Okay, two things about that.
One, this is your new normal.
Hello, Obama administration is back.
Muslim terror is your new normal.
So get used to it.
And shootings.
All the best shootings were during the Obama administration.
All the best ones.
Two, so they only have a handgun that they know of.
What is all this talk of an AR-15?
That's what I'm wondering.
By the way, that handgun, if you've ever seen a picture, they had showed a picture of it.
That is one beautiful gun.
It's really pretty.
What is it?
Which one?
Do you remember which one it is?
It's a Ruger.
He said it in this.
It's a Ruger, but it's really, it's all dolled up to look like the nastiest weapon you've ever seen.
Oh, nice.
But I can see somebody, just some idiot, just saw, oh, AR-15, assault rifle.
Because it has kind of a...
It's like those people who have the AR-15s that look like some sort of army weapon.
Now, does this handgun have a stock on it?
Is that the idea?
It's got a little bit...
It seems so.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's not an AR-15 by any stretch of the imagination.
Oh, yeah.
It's the rimfire or centerfire, one of those.
Yeah, it's a pistol and you slide a whole thing onto it.
Very sexy.
Yeah, it does look nasty.
It's nasty.
It's very nasty.
Okay.
Now, I want to play, just as an aside, I want to play a clip from the Dispatcher.
Okay.
And this is the Colorado Dispatcher.
And I want you to tell me who this sounds like.
Looks like we have an active shooter.
The white male, middle-aged, dark hair, beard, black vest, short-lead shirt.
Ted Cruz?
Seen in front of the King Super, shot out a window of a van, and he pursued a man towards Broadway.
What?
Yes.
Thank you.
That's weird.
Yeah, I know that was weird.
You're asking me who's speaking, who the speaker sounds like, or who the suspect sounds like?
Hold on, Zephyr.
Oh.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
Okay, good.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have an 8-car Zephyr.
That means it's the new normal.
Everything is stable.
Go alert the guys over at CNBC Squawk Box.
We've got Bitcoin at 51,370, experiencing max pain today.
Oh my god!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
Alright, back to the dispatch.
The question is, who does she in the dispatcher sound like?
Okay, let me listen again.
That is not Ted Cruz.
No, I thought she was describing Ted Cruz.
If you listen, it sounds like she's describing Ted Cruz, but I'll listen to her voice now.
Looks like we have an active shooter.
I don't know.
Who does she sound like?
Jen Psaki.
Oh, yeah.
Come on, listen one more time and think of Jen Psaki.
Really?
You're putting me through this?
Slight up talk.
Okay, I have to...
Kind of blasé.
She's got no emotions, but she's up talking and she seems like a dingbat.
Looks like we have an active shooter.
She's a white male, middle-aged, dark hair, beard, black.
I think you're right.
It's there.
Could you turn down three bips there?
It's just a little hot now.
It was Max.
My mic's hot?
Yeah, just a little bit.
A little bit.
I'm going to turn it down.
Stop!
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Perfect.
Now this will be going on all day.
No.
Well, I'm sorry.
Sometimes road and weather conditions vary.
This is all Mickey Mouse shit, man.
Now, I do have a...
You said NPR didn't have much to say about it.
Yeah.
Bull.
No, no, no, no.
I said that was how they started when it first came out.
When it first came out.
They just spent their life...
In fact, by the way, just for information, I... Got up this morning and I turned on Good Morning America today.
Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
They were talking about this and they were still talking about the Atlanta shooting.
Gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
I know.
I know.
Do you want to go straight into that?
Do you want to hear a couple of mainstream reports on how this went down on CNN, CBS, and ABC? Let's hear the mainstream reports, which is the worst.
You know they're funny.
This gun control thing has a real kicker in it, but we'll get to that after you talk.
And that's interesting because so far, all I know is they're talking about a bill that has universal background checks to close some loophole, blah-de-blah-de-blah.
Yeah, it's another step, obviously.
Here's Ando.
I've learned that's his nickname in the gay community.
Anderson Cooper, Ando.
Ando?
Ando.
Is it Ms.
Ando?
Oh, unnecessary roughness on the play.
I'm sorry.
Completely unnecessary.
It's all right.
We'll pull you through.
Good evening.
Flags are flying at half-staff at the White House tonight.
Again, they were lowered today for victims of the mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado.
They'd just been raised briefly yesterday after honoring the victims of the Atlanta area mass shootings.
After a long year of COVID, just as we finally have a hint of normal back inside, this is a reminder...
It's normal.
That normality that returns.
Yeah, he's literally saying this is part of that normality that returns when you have Biden in the White House.
This is a reminder that part of that normality that returns is gun violence.
And in Colorado, every sensation that follows is the normal state.
Hold on a second.
I know.
It's a total asinine comment.
Well, now that we can all get out again, we're going to start shooting each other.
What a thing to say.
We're back to the normality now that Biden...
What you said he said is what he said.
Now that Biden's in office, our normality has returned.
Schools, shootings, shootings in general, whatever.
Terror.
Terror.
Muslim terrorism.
Yeah.
Middle East blowing up.
Syria, Afghanistan.
Suez Canal blocked.
Good to be back, ladies and gentlemen.
After a long year of COVID, just as we finally have a hint of normal back inside, this is a reminder that part of that normality that returns is the violence.
Well, no, I replayed it just to make sure everyone heard it.
In Colorado, every sensation that follows, there's the numbness, the ache, the emptiness.
It is compounded by familiarity.
This is for Coloradans, the third mass shooting in a generation.
The children of Columbine and Aurora are now the parents of Boulder.
The president spoke to their loss today, but did not leave it at that.
It's time to start questioning Colorado, quite honestly.
I don't need to wait another minute, let alone an hour.
To take common sense steps that will save the lives in the future.
You're saving nobody's lives, you phony.
...in the House and Senate to act.
We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country once again.
We can close the loopholes in our background check system, including the Charleston loophole, the United States Senate.
The Charleston loophole.
What's the Charleston loophole?
Wasn't that a shooter in Charleston?
I'm so confused by the memes.
I'll look it up.
The United States Senate, I hope some are listening, should immediately pass the two House pass bills that close loopholes in the background check system.
These are bills that receive votes of both Republicans and...
Did he fuck up bills again?
This man, it's Mills, it's...
What did he say?
I hope some are listening.
It should immediately pass the two House pass bills that close loopholes...
He just has problems with a background check system.
These are bills...
Brills?
What are they?
Bills.
That's a problem.
These are bills that receive votes of both Republicans and Democrats in the House.
This is not, it should not be a partisan issue.
This is an American issue.
It will save lives.
American lives.
And we have to act.
Yeah, we got to act.
Alright, good morning America.
Took it down the motive route.
And I will say, they did have part of the live streamer on the scene that they played in their little package.
This morning, as law enforcement continues to work the crime scene, those chilling new details.
Chilling.
According to the Boulder Police Department's arrest affidavit, the alleged shooter methodically marched through the store and...
Ooh, notice the cool sound effects.
Listen to that.
Brrrr.
Something cool.
Cool.
The alleged shooter.
Killing new details.
According to the Boulder Police Department's arrest affidavit, the alleged shooter methodically marched through the store and parking lot where witnesses say he shot an elderly man and then...
Methodically.
That's already adding a narrative.
Stood over him and shot him multiple additional times.
His ten victims were gunned down both inside.
Isn't multiple and additional the same word?
It doesn't sound so cool.
He stood over him.
He shot him multiple additional times.
He could have said additional times or multiple times.
Yeah, well, he also didn't have to say methodically.
So, you know, it's clear what the color of the report is.
He shot him multiple additional times.
His ten victims were gunned down both inside and outside the King Soopers market.
Authorities say the alleged shooter, 21-year-old Ahmed Alisa, had purchased the AR-style weapon that sewed so much carnage only a week before, and that during the rampage he wore a green tactical vest.
Dean Schiller came to shop for groceries, but in an hours-long live stream, he would end up bearing witness.
Someone's down right here.
Something just happened here, guys.
Look, there's people lying in the street, guys.
He went in the store.
Oh, my God.
Guys, we got people down inside King Soopers.
Holy s***!
There's a shooter!
Active shooter!
Get away!
Alisa, seen here being led away in handcuffs, was arrested following a shootout with police inside the store, bleeding from a leg wound.
He was whisked away in an ambulance.
Police say he would not answer questions, but did ask for his mother.
The thing that I'd like to...
Actually, I should mention this, because they did cover it pretty well, and I think it was NPR. Mm-hmm.
He didn't get grabbed in the shootout.
He did get shot, but it wasn't a shootout.
He stripped down to his boxers, put his arms up in the air, and started walking backwards toward the police.
Uh-huh.
And they just cuffed him and took him out.
It wasn't a shootout.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Which reminds me, because this did contrast with some other shootings, some black guy got shot in some robbery, you know, was resisting arrest, got shot.
Big difference.
By, yeah.
Final report, Shorty, CBS Evening News.
According to police, 21-year-old Ahmed Elisa, seen here after the shooting, dropped his weapons and removed all of his clothes except for his shorts before he was taken into custody.
Asked by police then if anyone else was involved, he only answered by asking to talk to his mother.
Oh, that's a little different than that other report.
Oh, my God.
Listen, so this is how...
You said, oh my God.
Because I meant it.
This is what ABC reports.
In an ambulance, police say he would not answer questions, but did ask for his mother.
So that sounds like almost a George Floyd type thing.
I want my mother.
I want my mother.
And now it's...
Only answered by asking to talk to his mother.
It's a little different.
This was not the first encounter with police.
In 2018, while in high school, Elisa was convicted of misdemeanor assault for beating up a fellow student.
He said he had been bullied by the student for a year because of his Middle Eastern background.
Although dozens of witnesses said the attack was unprovoked, he said he was so angry he blacked out.
He threatened that he was going to kill everyone and no one actually took it seriously.
How long do you think it is before the story surfaces that someone jumped the line for the vaccine and that's why he went nuts?
That's a good idea, but you're going to have a hard time shoehorning that one.
Well, we'll see.
We'll see.
You just wait for it.
You wait for it.
Line jumper!
Oh, no!
All right, NPR. Let's listen to NPR. Okay.
Hello?
Oh, you wanted me to play the...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm waiting for your NPR package.
I'm done with the mainstream.
The only thing is, there's a couple of things that are abnormal.
They're not incessantly...
Unless I've missed it.
They're not incessantly rotating pictures of the deceased.
They immediately had family members on stage.
I heard it all day yesterday.
They had a live press conference.
I find these things always challenging.
Well, this is what we do.
We go through these things.
It's kind of what the show is.
Yes.
Kind of.
So let's listen to the gun control debate.
This all came right after.
It's on NPR, so it's got to be very...
It's highbrow, baby.
Eyebrow.
Eyebrow.
And this came after they had this guy, they did a long exposition on this character who's a Florida State, or sorry, Colorado State Senator, who got in office after his son was killed in, I believe it was Columbine.
No, he was shot in the theater.
Now these things have taken years between...
In Aurora.
Years go by and other things happen.
But it seems to be happening in Colorado a lot.
So let's listen to Gun Control 1 on NPR. The truth is there's no indication yet of any movement on federal gun control policy.
That's despite calls from President Biden this week for Congress to act.
We can ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country.
Something like that would require a certain amount of Republican support in the U.S. Senate, which does not exist.
Or it would require Democrats to eliminate the Senate filibuster and pass meaningful gun control without Republican votes, something that, so far, they do not seem prepared to do.
And while there's pressure on Biden to issue some kind of executive action on gun control, it's not clear what that would look like.
Let me first say that putting in place common-sense gun safety measures has been a passion of the president's since he was in the Senate.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Air Force One this week would not rule out executive action or the possibility of Biden appointing a special official to oversee gun violence prevention, something a number of gun control advocates have called for.
We are certainly considering a range of levers, including working through legislation, including executive actions.
So with all that said, we're going to focus more on state laws.
And that brings us back to Colorado, which actually has relatively strong gun control measures by U.S. standards.
Oh, okay.
Now that little kicker right there got my attention.
Yeah, Colorado in front of the cancel can in the way I see it.
Colorado's already got strict gun control measures.
Why then does Colorado have so many incidents?
Colorado already has strict gun control measures, especially compared with the rest of the country, according to this report.
So do they then go on and ask the question, with the strict gun control regulations in Colorado, why they have these incidents?
So what have the strict gun control regulations done to stop them?
Well, these are all very good questions.
In fact, I would say it's a great question.
You might say that, but they don't ask it.
They just mention it, stupidly mention it.
They shouldn't have said anything.
Shh!
Be quiet.
Don't mention the fact that we already have plenty of gun control laws in Colorado.
It's not doing any good.
Do you know what are the restrictions in Colorado?
It's just the stuff that everybody wants.
By the way, they want better registration and you can't sell to different people.
Oh yeah, they talk about it in the report.
The straw man and all that.
Red flag laws.
Ah, okay, that's different.
The red flag law, that was just at the end of the Obama administration, was that the police could come knocking on your door if someone threw up a red flag on you.
It's discussed in some detail here.
But let's mention something else that they said in that first clip.
Gun safety is what Biden keeps talking about.
Gun safety is what they used to teach in high school, like in the 50s and 60s.
They stopped teaching it.
Even in the 70s, I remember kids bringing their.22s to school.
Not in California.
No, not.
So gun safety was a thing you learned if you go to a gun school to learn how to shoot one of the training operations.
The first thing they teach you is gun safety.
And he keeps saying gun safety.
Gun safety has got nothing to do with gun control.
But I think they may make a shot at changing gun control to gun safety and kind of swapping out the terms.
Yes, and that means pre, it's all preventative, and red flag laws would fall under that.
Well, let's go to clip two.
Thank you to everyone for joining us today.
In April of 2019, Colorado's Governor Jared Polis signed what's known as a red flag law.
This isn't just about keeping families safe.
It's also about keeping law enforcement officers safe.
Now that law allows a family member or law enforcement to petition a court to temporarily confiscate someone's guns for up to a year.
It's designed to keep people suffering from a mental health crisis from harming themselves or anyone else.
Red flag laws are broadly popular with Democrats and Republicans.
Colorado's controversial red flag gun law is now on the books, meaning guns can be taken away from people who are determined to be dangerous.
At the time, Fox News emphasized concerns from some on the right that Colorado's red flag law infringed on the Second Amendment.
They interviewed a local sheriff who said he thought the law was ludicrous and unconstitutional.
They went after the people's rights in a manner that was really that I didn't think gave them due process because they said...
19 states and the District of Columbia have red flag laws.
In Colorado's first year after its law was enacted, less than 150 red flag petitions were filed, and judges allowed for weapons to be seized in around 66 of those cases.
That may sound like a small number, but consider just one of them.
The case of a 61-year-old man in Douglas County who reportedly made multiple calls to the police claiming there was a hitman in his bedroom.
He also routinely wore a tactical vest labeled Deputy Sheriff while stopping citizens to ask, according to the Denver Post, quote, if everything was okay.
When local law enforcement won their red flag petition, they found he had at least 59 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
Hey man, thumbs down for NPR's choice of background music.
What are they thinking?
Let's make this as spooky as possible.
There's a slight sound of an echo of a gunshot throughout that.
Oh, nice.
Music note.
Nice.
And the thing that you don't hear, because I cut it out, is in between when she does her pregnant pause, they play that music for about three or four seconds.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Tubular bells.
Only not really.
Gluckenspiel.
There's a reference for obscure references.
There's your obscure reference for No Agenda Show 1332.
Hello, boomers!
Gluckenspiel.
All right.
Sorry about that.
Onward to three.
So, does the U.S. have too many doses, so to speak, more than it needs?
Well, it's interesting, because the U.S. has...
Can you control three in this about the doses?
Oh my God, I'm sorry.
I don't know how that got in there.
How are you playing?
It was a three, but it was the wrong three.
I'm sorry.
What you didn't see was anyone having their mint-in-box John Wayne commemorative rifle taken away from them.
Colorado's red flag law was sponsored by Tom Sullivan.
Back in February, he was speaking in the statehouse about what it did and did not do.
You didn't read about wild animals climbing through farmhouse windows and taking children from their bed.
And the flag of Venezuela doesn't fly here in the chamber.
These were Sullivan's remarks just before a fellow lawmaker told him to let go of his son's death.
History tells us that for every 11 petitions filed, we save one life.
That means here in Colorado, 10 people...
How do you prove that?
Math?
Science?
How do you prove that for every petition filed, you save one life?
Science?
Where does that come from?
Who dreams this stuff up?
Think tanks.
He just says it, matter of fact.
Now, this guy, Sullivan, for the last, ever since the Aurora shooting...
started making a speech about his poor son who got killed in this event.
Yeah.
And he was so irked that he ran for the state Senate in Colorado and got elected because he's so he's just like a fanatic.
And he had with some justification.
And so but what he does in the state Senate is that every other Friday, ever since Aurora shooting, he gives the same speech condemning guns and gun control and his laments his son and And this has been going on for years and years.
Yeah, during members' minutes or whatever they call it.
So he just does the same thing over again.
Oh, okay.
Over and over again.
So he, one of the Republicans, who is kind of a middle-of-the-road guy who probably supports gun control, I believe, he went on and said, you know, you've got to stop this.
This is ridiculous, and you've got to let go.
You've got to go on with your life.
And then Sullivan came back out and condemned him, and NPR condemned him, too.
So that's why there's a little needle in there, if you listen to the report carefully.
Yeah.
About this guy.
So I guess the guy's going to be giving this speech forever.
Something else that was said here, his statistic, he needs to use it a little differently so that people like you don't Can't challenge him on it?
Let me hear it again.
Bruce Sullivan's remarks just before a fellow lawmaker told him to let go of his son's death.
History tells us that for every 11 petitions filed, we save one life.
See, he messed it up.
He says, history tells us for every petition filed, we save or create a new life.
Well, we're back to the Obama year.
It's all coming flowing back, baby.
That means here in Colorado, 10 people were able to sit with their families this previous holiday season because of the passage of this legislation.
Now we have to say, it's not clear whether Colorado's red flag law would have prevented the man who killed 10 people in Boulder this week from getting a weapon.
We don't yet know if there should have been red flag used or how it would have been used.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis spoke to NPR Tuesday.
This young man was 21.
I don't know.
We don't know the facts yet.
Did the parents know something was up?
Did they want to take the guns?
Did they pursue red flag?
I mean, these are all things that should be looked at.
Still, even if the state's red flag law could not have been used in this case, a few other laws may have been relevant.
One is an assault weapons ban.
The city of Boulder passed one a few years ago.
But earlier this month, just days before the Boulder shooting, a state district court judge blocked it, ruling that only states or the federal government could ban assault weapons.
Colorado also has a law mandating universal background checks, which can result in a firearm purchase being denied if the buyer has been arrested or convicted of assault.
But the problem is we're only about two hours from Wyoming and parts of our state, you know, an hour from Utah.
And it's relatively easy to avoid a background check if you just drive and buy a gun elsewhere.
You know, the timeline doesn't make sense here.
And according to the earlier report, I don't know if it was mine or yours, he purchased the Ruger legally.
So if he purchased the Ruger legally yet years ago he was in trouble with the law...
We had that from the report as well.
The police knew about him.
How does a strict background check work?
I did not hear that he purchased it out of state.
No, no.
He purchased it in state.
He purchased it legally.
But the background report that showed him beating...
He beat somebody up in high school.
It was a high school beef.
Right.
And that doesn't...
It was a misdemeanor filing.
And so that doesn't go...
All right.
So he's good to go.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was the end of that one?
Yeah.
Okay, well, let's finish it off with clip four.
So here's the bottom line for Tom Sullivan.
A full nine years after his son was killed in the Aurora shooting, he still argues, even after this week's shooting in Boulder, that steady, incremental state action does offer a path to progress on gun control.
Here's our conversation.
What is this like for you as someone who has advocated so strongly for gun control laws?
Well, I mean, you know, we're working on gun violence prevention here in the state of Colorado, and we've, you know, actually done, you know, some great things in 2013.
We got background checks passed.
passed we got high capacity magazines uh limited we did things pertaining to domestic violence and and we've been doing the work i mean i have a bill about uh reporting lost and stolen firearms uh so we can you know continue to do the work i mean but quite obviously you know there's more work you know to be done I want to ask you about the pushback to that.
The city of Boulder actually had a ban on assault-style weapons in just this month.
That was blocked in court.
I know that there was a political backlash where two Democratic state senators lost their seats in recall elections after backing gun control measures.
You faced a recall push a couple of years ago.
It seems like the backlash is significant to these efforts.
There was in 2013.
Yeah, we did have the two senators who got recalled, but we won those seats back when they came out and they said it was the Colorado Republican Party who tried to have me recalled.
It was out of fear of the voice of victims.
You know, in this case, 120 days out of the year, I'm going to be standing in front of them.
I wear my son's jacket.
I go up every other Friday and tell them, you know, how many Fridays it's been since Alex and 11 others were murdered.
Yeah.
I feel bad for the guy.
Obviously.
Now, there was a little terminology thing in there, too.
She says, and by the way, I think this is why they got those two guys recalled, because they voted against or voted to eliminate It's her term, and it's a term you hear.
Assault style.
Yeah, assault style weapon.
All these weapons that they're talking about are just styled.
They're stylized guns.
So you have like a regular old Winchester of some sort, and you put a heat shield around it and a big scope, and you can do all kinds of things.
You can put a plastic stock...
There's a lot of things you can do, and Ruger's a good example, and they referred to it earlier as AR type.
AR means assault rifle to everybody now.
Okay.
Bull crap.
It's just a design.
It's just the way you...
So you have a gun that's a simple little thing, and then you have the same gun.
The analogy is a car.
And one guy's got a Ford Focus, and the other guy's got a Ferrari.
It's just a stylized car.
Now, it has some extra bells and whistles that make you look like a dick.
A Ferrari is a different vehicle than a Fiesta.
But there are Fiestas.
It can go 300 miles an hour.
It's still legal.
It can kill a lot of people.
It's still legal.
Yeah, but one of them, let's take two Fiestas, I think is a better example.
You got one.
Okay, with a spoiler.
One with a spoiler.
And the one's got a spoiler.
Skirts in the front.
It's got racing stripes.
We've lowered the hood.
It's got stripes all over it.
We've got blacked out windows.
A big number 14 on the side.
33, hello.
14, what's wrong with you?
I thought 33 would be better, but then it'd be a giveaway.
14?
What's the sign?
Why didn't you come up with 14?
This came to mind.
I've seen a lot of cars with 14 on the side.
But that's the point.
It's just bogus, this assault style.
Oh, we've got to ban assault.
But they say, I want to ban assault weapons, but then when they get down to it, they want to ban assault style.
In other words, they don't want weapons to look cool.
Maybe kids will want one.
Look at that.
It's cool looking.
This is true when I was a kid.
He had an old carbine where they clicked and put a bullet in.
Click, click.
Big wooden thing.
Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy.
They weigh a ton.
Oh my God.
All lead.
Oak.
But it's well balanced.
Yeah.
It's funny because you can have a two-in-one with that old Lexus of yours.
You've got a piece of crap car with spoilers.
I mean, it is really cool looking.
Yeah.
Spoiler alert.
That car comes with the 400 SC comes with spoilers.
It's got a spoiler on it.
Of course.
To JCD. Hello.
I'm not forgetting more on the shooters.
No, I think we're kind of done with it.
Now, the only thing is, you know, I'm waiting for the FBI report, the affidavit, in which we find out if there was any prior contact by confidential informants, if this could be a six-week cycle situation.
It certainly is convenient, so we can...
I think, if anything, the AAPI was getting out of control.
The Asians were getting too much voice.
And I'm just saying it from a perspective of an a-hole who would be orchestrating something if true.
And looks at it and goes, no, no, no, no.
This is out of control.
We got too many smart Asians running around telling everybody what's really going on.
So, we need a distraction.
And then, boom.
You know, don't let it go to waste.
Hey!
Hey, gun!
Gun!
Gun!
All right, pull out the bills!
The bills!
The bills!
Give me the bills!
There's also the coincidence that just within the last couple of weeks, the Boulder City Council refused to do anything about...
Assault-style weapons thing.
It should be the state doing it.
And then, coincidentally, this happens in Boulder, so I don't know.
Boulder is also a spook city.
Boulder is spook city?
Denver, Boulder, all of it is spooks.
Come on.
Well, I know that Denver is spooky, but Boulder is kind of a town that could be spooky.
It's the spook burbs.
Spookburbs.
Yeah, the spookburbs, baby.
That's where they go in and go and hang out.
Yeah, definitely.
So who knows?
But this, oh, it's very sad.
But, you know, it's just, that's all I could think is what our initial thought is.
Oh, all right, this is the new normal.
It's back to where it was.
Thanks.
And now, you know, this has raised the talk of the filibuster removal again, which means, hey, just let anybody with a one-point majority win in the Senate, even for the important stuff, unlike all the other stuff.
And I learned the origins of the word filibuster from the anti-constitutionalist douchebag Farid Zakaria.
I wanted to share that with you.
It's very interesting.
Do you know the origin of filibuster?
No, I do not.
And I didn't either.
I should have.
The filibuster.
The principle that allows legislators to hold up bills indefinitely.
It comes from the Dutch word, by the way, for freebooter or pirate.
The idea being that a person is obstructing the legislative process for his or her own personal gain.
So very interesting.
His pronunciation is somewhat off.
It's vrijbuiter.
But my understanding of the term is not what he said.
Just listen to it again.
The idea being that a person is obstructing the legislative process for his or her own personal gain.
So, Freibauter, yes, there's some equation to pirates, but kind of like...
Also metaphorical, I think.
Ha ha ha.
You and I are Freibouters, which is like free men, we don't care, we're doing our own thing, we don't need anybody.
That's how I grew up understanding the term Freibouter.
So it's kind of been turned into something very negative.
Well, he's also full of crap.
It's not necessarily because of his own gain.
I'm going to filibuster this bill about, you know, legislating about one thing or another for my own gain.
That's bull crap.
Well, yeah.
Aye, matey!
We're the Freibouters!
The Freibouters!
The Freibouter Podcast!
Now, before we go into COVID, I would like to share a note from one of our producers, and it concerned me because...
I think this is happening to more people.
And I'd like to see if we can address this.
Adam John, listen to all your latest No Agenda shows.
Here's what comes to mind.
Though I know that news has to be deconstructed and people must be aware of what's being told in broadcast.
The tone in all your shows, my emphasis, is basically everything is bullcrap.
Am I right?
I mean, the bullcrap thing is called Corona and the bullcrap that we should all get vaccinated.
Tell me, please, what choice do we have?
Me being a 50-year-old.
Hey, I got you beat, pal.
What choice do I have?
Living 3,000 kilometers away from my family, haven't been able to see them for more than a year now.
I want to go there, and if it means I have to get vaccinated, what choice do I have?
I'm sure that you recognize the feeling, so what will be the new rules, new measures when we go back on the plane with apps, green passes, etc.?
If we can go back at all!
So why is all this denied on your show?
Why all this don't-get-your-shots attitude and that it's all nonsense and driven by big pharma?
Sorry, man, I'm completely lost and can't follow the two of you anymore.
What choice do we have if we all say, no vaccination for me?
By the way, are you still denying hospitals have a lot of COVID patients?
Are you still denying there's people in the ICU having serious issues?
Why do you say it's all a lie?
People...
I don't think I've ever said that.
People I know...
We've never said any of this.
We don't say don't get a vaccine.
We just say we may not get one.
And we've both said that we might get the Johnson& Johnson if it was absolutely required.
But we're not of the type that actually had COVID, which you probably did, that would go out and get a vaccine after getting that.
This guy's full of crap.
Hold on, hold on.
But he's been listening for a while.
He's serious.
I know what he's doing.
He's projecting to an extreme, saying things that we don't say.
We ask questions.
What we do is ask questions to an extreme and bring it down.
And yes, we do not defend the drug companies.
That's true.
That's the only thing he said that's true.
And there's good reason for it.
Now, okay, so you want to hear more, or are you done with it?
No, no, yeah, I need to get me worked up for the rest of the show.
Okay, woo!
All right, by the way, I would like to say, yes, I am denying the ICUs are filled, because we've had numerous healthcare professionals tell us that that is an absolute lie.
I'm not making this up, but okay.
All we do is...
In many of these matters, all we do is report.
Yeah, I mean, there's another thing.
I don't know.
I don't go to the ICU. The things could be overflowing, but I don't see it.
I don't see bodies stacked up on the end of the block.
No.
In fact, we hear quite the opposite.
Anyway, why this continuous conspiracy tone, Adam?
Maybe you can explain what it really is you're trying to say on the show, because I just want to live, man.
Denying everything and saying it's all phony baloney and we're all being treated as slaves, does not end slaves, he actually says.
Does not make any sense to me.
What kind of a life would we have if we look at the things like that all the time?
Ah, thank you very much for asking.
I look at life that way all the time, yes, and you can choose a different podcast if you don't like it, and I look at it that way because I will not be bullied.
I'm a Freibouter.
I will not be bullied into a situation where you can't do certain things based upon proof of vaccination.
I will fight that.
You don't have to.
You can do whatever you want.
But I'm against it.
Don't get your vaccine and quit complaining to us.
You must know that I'm skeptical when it comes to news in general.
I know how to deconstruct.
Really?
And I know that things have been a circus over the past year.
But a virus is a virus.
A vaccination is a vaccination.
No.
Wrong.
This is not a vaccination.
It's not a vaccine.
And that's what we say.
And you're projecting that you don't like what you're hearing.
It has happened before and has not made the world a bad place.
Talk to some of the kids in Africa and Sri Lanka that Bill Gates forced vaccinated.
See if it's not a bad place for them.
So when do you get your jab?
Do you have plans to visit Holland soon?
Yes, I do.
You better believe I do.
And I'm going to go without taking a vaccine.
There's no mandate yet.
And they're very, very cautious to do this.
They're going to make it difficult for you, but not impossible.
They know they can't get away with that.
They know they can't.
Hey, stop.
You're swinging in and out of voice.
I don't know if you're reading the letter or if you're talking from your own perspective.
My own perspective, I'm done.
No, the letter is over.
It's fine.
Anyway, in Texas, since the mask mandate and everything was dropped, positive test results, which are bullcrap, by the way, Mr.
Ryder, are down 30%.
And the Keeper and I have spoken to several of our friends, some from the Obamabot area, and I would like to pass on what they said about getting the vaccine, because the quote is quite beautiful.
I feel invincible after getting the vaccine.
What?
That's what the Obama bot type and actually someone from that crowd said to us the other day.
We were talking about the vaccine because everyone talks about it.
I say, oh, I got my first shot.
I feel invincible!
Ah.
Yeah.
Well, what about keeping your mask on?
Oh, no, that's just for a little bit.
Oh, okay.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Not that invincible.
Very good.
I need a mask.
Let's go to...
I need a mask.
Anyway, these complainers...
Yeah.
I don't believe a word of it.
I think they're either they showed up and started listening to the show of late and then they don't like what we're saying and they'd rather go someplace.
I don't know.
If you don't like this show, what we do and how we present stuff, it's not really necessarily even our ideas half the time unless it's an old story.
But I didn't take it that way.
I took it to say, how can you keep saying this is not true when all he's hearing in his entire world is the people who say that are idiots?
I think that's what he's saying.
I think he is confused.
He's saying that we're idiots?
What is he saying?
He keeps asking why we say that.
Why do you say that?
What are we saying over and over?
We're countering the narrative of the hospitals being full, of this being an actual vaccine, of it being informed consent.
It's not a vaccine.
Everybody knows it's not a vaccine.
None of these are traditional vaccines by any means.
It's a medical device, actually.
Pure classification.
Well, I thought it was a, what is it called, chemotherapy.
The mRNA vaccines chemotherapy.
Yes, but that falls under, I think it falls under the, you know, when you get chemo medicine, it's not called a vaccination.
No, because this is a new deal.
It's just renamed it.
I've got a lot of stuff to do, and I want to move through it.
I'm sorry I brought up the letter.
I just wanted everyone to know that we do think of you, and there's reasons why we do this, and it's not just to trigger you, but if you are, well, you've got to deal with it.
Yeah, yeah.
This is not a must.
You have to question any product.
That needs this type of marketing to get its customers to take it.
And Krispy Kreme's new offer won't help you.
And a six-page disclaimer that you get when you get the shot.
Again, this is the type of marketing they're doing.
And Krispy Kreme's new offer won't help you lose those pounds.
No, the company is giving away a free donut every day to people who can prove that they've received a coronavirus vaccine.
The offer runs until the end of the year.
This is the best promotion that could be done in America.
We'll give you a donut if you get your shot.
I mean, people do.
I've seen people, all you need to do is color them yellow and they're Homer Simpson.
That's the level.
People are actually excited about this.
Oh yeah, big time.
Oh my gosh, I just love it!
So you were mentioning the chemotherapy.
Let's just do a quick history lesson.
Dr.
Fauci, the AIDS crisis, AZT, which was a rejected chemotherapy treatment.
People went into the hospital with HIV, died of full-blown AIDS, coincidentally while AZT was being administered.
Guess what's happened since then?
Well, we have not come up with a vaccine.
We've come up with a pill.
You've probably seen it advertised.
PrEP.
Oh, yes.
This needs to be discussed.
I don't have a clip.
I do.
PrEP.
P-R-E-P. And this is a prophylaxis.
You take it on a daily basis.
No, no.
You're talking about AIDS now.
Yes, I am.
I got a clip!
I have it!
Fuck you, John!
Quiet for a second!
I'm leading!
Here it is!
Meanwhile, Pfizer is now testing a pill to treat COVID. It uses the same antiviral process as HIV treatments.
The first data is due out next month.
I was just leading into it.
Ah, it was a terrible lead-in then, because I blew it.
I stepped all over it.
Yes.
I wrecked it.
The whole point is, it's Fauci.
Fauci's work, which led to people dying, which led to a pill, which has convinced everybody.
And it's effective, that's for sure.
And you don't hear much about it.
It's only advertised, oh, you take this pill, you can screw all you want, you're not going to get AIDS. Well, I wonder if it's just a...
Fake pill?
I don't know.
But it's another big winner.
Well, I've looked into this Pfizer pill.
I wish there was more clips on it.
That's all I have, unfortunately.
So they get the EUA, and now they've got a treatment.
They're calling it a treatment, not like a prophylactic.
Oh, okay.
We've done it.
I think so.
I think it's considered a treatment.
We've done a whole series on this.
But okay.
What did you find?
Nothing.
I can't even find out what it is.
What's the chemical?
Exactly.
You've got to ask yourself, here, prep.
I'll dive into it again, because I know I did a lot of research on it.
I was like, what the hell is going on with it?
And it's like, well, we've cured AIDS, but no one's celebrating.
We still have an AIDS crisis, yet this is keeping everyone in the gay scene that I know safe.
It's terrible.
Yeah.
They've done nothing to cure AIDS. Well, look at the commercial.
They say it's not curing it, but you won't get it.
That's what they're selling.
Well, this is you just being negative Nelly.
Just like the letter writer said.
No.
It's a conspiracy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
So it's very easy to...
I think we predicted this coming for COVID months and months ago.
It's the same people.
It's the same guys.
It's the same cycle.
They're doing the same thing.
Well, let's start with this premise that I've introduced some time ago.
I'm going to say it again.
Pfizer has some marketing people that are the best you'll ever find in the world.
Better than Caterpillar tractor guys.
You get a big commission for selling one piece of gear, but these guys have to sell a lot of little things.
By a lot.
I mean, they've got to sell them by the billions.
They are selling billions and billions.
It's unbelievable how good they are.
So, I've been working with a couple guys in Israel.
They're all now on the big Sabbath.
But, you know, and of course, I'm like, hey, first of all, no one won the Israeli election yesterday.
Not that you would hear it reported here in America.
So BB continues for another, what, two years at least, I think, until they can do another election.
And Pfizer has effectively taken over the country.
80% of Israelis are vaccinated.
Now there, they have done this whole passport thing, or you can get a freedom bracelet.
We discussed that on a previous episode.
In fact, I think that they're renaming Ben-Gurion Airport to Pfizer International.
No, that's not true.
Here's a report.
Margaret, good morning from Israel, which leads the world in vaccinations.
80% of the people...
They're forced!
...60 here have been immunized.
The UK is doing well, too.
Nine out of ten adults...
Wow, hold on a second.
That was far...
I didn't even notice that the first time around.
She's throwing to Margaret...
For her to pick up the story as if, like, hey, Margaret, so I, you know, she's kind of leaving in for at least a small acknowledgement, and they rolled the package, clearly not live.
That is, wow, that, sorry, as a production television guy, I can't believe what happened.
That was bad.
Margaret, good morning from Israel, which leads the world in vaccinations.
Eighty percent of the people over 60 here have been immunized.
No, I was wrong.
I'm sorry.
No, I missed it.
I was wrong.
No, but that's beside the point.
Immunized, getting the vaccine doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't mean you've been immunized.
In fact, quite the opposite we're hearing.
The UK is doing well too.
Nine out of ten adults over 65 have now had a shot.
At the hospital where he almost died of COVID a year ago, Prime Minister Boris Johnson got his.
I literally did not feel a thing.
But in mainland Europe, things are going from bad to worse.
Its COVID death toll passed the million mark on Friday and infections are surging.
Parisians rushed to leave the city before a new lockdown put a stop to travel as of this weekend.
Those left behind will be able to meet outside for exercise, but not much else.
The vaccine rollout in Europe has been slow, plagued with politics, supply problems, and last week a shutdown in the use of AstraZeneca's vaccine because of an alleged link to blood clots.
Regulators say there's nothing to worry about, but this facility in Germany shows the fallout.
Plenty of vaccine, just no customers.
Scientists say this mess will cost thousands of lives.
Oh, sure.
Or created.
Lives costed or created.
Now I have three clips that explain a couple of things that that report just left out.
Good.
And by the way, why is Boris Johnson, who was not only sickened by the COVID virus, but hospitalized and needed a bunch of treatment, come out and get a vaccine?
Okay, well, I'd be happy to tell you, but then you have to put your clips on hold.
Because that's a whole discussion by itself.
Okay, I don't want to go into it now then.
Let's get these clips out of the way because it's more pertinent to what you played.
Listen to this.
This, I believe, is from NPR. This is COVID vaccine rollout, part one.
As COVID vaccination rates increase in the United States, there's a growing focus on the other parts of the world that have only immunized a handful of their citizens.
Some countries haven't started vaccinations at all.
NPR global health correspondent Jason Bobian joins us to help get a better sense of what's happening globally with COVID-19 vaccination.
Welcome back, Jason.
Hey, Audie.
I want to start by getting a lay of the land.
Who is getting vaccinated?
Who is not?
Please tell me.
So if you were to, like, look at the globe with little dots of who's gotten their jabs already, there would be spatterings all over the map.
But most of the dots, most of those vaccinations have been happening in just a few countries.
Of the roughly half a billion doses that have been given globally, 75% of them have gone into people's arms in the United States, Europe, China, and India.
And the US, with roughly 25% of Americans having gotten at least one dose, has administered more doses than anybody else.
But if you look elsewhere, most countries have only gotten a tiny portion of their people vaccinated.
Carissa Etienne, she's the head of the WHO's regional office for the Americas, says there's simply not enough vaccine available right now.
Some countries in our region have received zero doses of vaccines.
Bullshit.
And the countries that still have less than 1% immunized, we're not just talking about some small, tiny countries that you might imagine would have difficulty purchasing vaccine, but places like Japan, Australia, South Africa, Pakistan, the Philippines, all of them have less than 1% of their people vaccinated right now.
You know, I don't believe this shortage for a minute.
They tried that on us.
Don't go on.
Play clip two and you'll understand what this supposed shortage is all about.
Help us understand what's going on here.
Why these larger, wealthier countries also have a small portion vaccinated compared to the U.S.? It's classic supply and demand.
Think about this.
It's a global production capacity for all vaccines.
Pre-pandemic was roughly 4 billion doses per year.
To get this pandemic under control, we need probably 10 to 15 billion doses of a COVID vaccine.
So that means a major scaling up of production of what is a fairly complicated pharmaceutical product.
So is that even possible?
Yes, it is possible.
Okay.
Everything goes according to plan.
Current manufacturers say they could come up with about 12 billion doses by the end of this year.
year.
But it's not clear that those 12 billion will be equitably distributed around the world.
Bruce Aylward with the WHO, he says global disparities in vaccination rates.
This is driven by the fact that rich nations early in the pandemic started snatching up contracts with as many vaccine manufacturers as they could.
Essentially, they were spreading bets across the roulette table to make sure that they got access to winning vaccines.
Other countries that didn't do that, now they're left with Futures.
Right now, this is not a financial issue.
Right now, this is a problem of access to the product itself.
The control of the supply is held by a limited number of countries that have procured most of the doses and the early access to those doses.
We bought futures.
We're drug dealers.
Yeah.
So we bought...
There is no shortage.
It's the fact that we bought it all up before they could even make the stuff, taking a gamble.
Of course, that's why we're forcing it on the public and the world.
Right.
Now we're doling it out.
Part three is a good example.
We bought almost all the Pfizer stocks, most of the Moderna stocks.
We also bought a good portion of the AstraZeneca stock.
And now we're doling that out because we can't use it here.
We're giving it to other people under some weird circumstance.
Oh, no.
It's going to Africa.
The AstraZeneca is going to Africa.
Boots on the ground report from one of our producers.
Well, that could be, but a lot of it's going to Mexico, too.
Okay.
At least according to this report.
Now, the thing that's interesting is that everybody's talking about these shortages, shortages like you were bitching about.
In Europe, the Europeans didn't buy into this idea of buying stuff in advance if it's even being invented.
No.
We did.
Yeah.
Hey, hey, hey.
So now we're the drug dealers.
Yes.
Can I play the last part of this?
Hello.
Thank you for classifying our country the way it is.
So, does the U.S. have too many doses, so to speak, more than it needs?
Oh, not equitable.
It's interesting, because the U.S. has purchased many contracts with companies that have not yet delivered those doses, with some companies that are not yet authorized to be distributed in the United States.
For instance, the U.S. now has 30 million doses of AstraZeneca sitting in storage.
The Biden administration says it's going to send some 4 million of those doses to Mexico and Canada, where it is currently.
What?
This racist!
We know it kills people!
Blood clots!
What's he doing?
They're authorized.
Aylward at the WHO, however, says there are countries in the world that could desperately use the rest of that AstraZeneca stockpile right now.
We have a long list of countries that are very, very keen to use the AstraZeneca vaccine.
We cannot get enough of it.
Aylward is saying that the U.S. could lend out those stockpiled vaccines now and get repaid later with other doses.
But to get this pandemic under control globally, he says, these vaccines need to get out to more countries more quickly.
That's NPR's Jason Bobian.
Thanks for explaining it to us.
No, thanks.
You're welcome.
You're right.
He even used contracts as the term.
Futures contracts.
That's great.
Yeah, that's what it was.
That's great.
Well, that's what we do.
Now, there's a kicker here that wasn't explained in this report, and I don't have a clip, but I can explain it.
AstraZeneca is actually manufactured in Europe.
And the Europeans are irked about the fact that all the doses have been bought by us and the UK. Well, hold on a second.
We discussed this on a previous show.
This is the Oxford vaccine, and in America, Bill Gates, Merca, Dr.
Bill, wait a minute, Dr.
Bill told Oxford, you should work with Merck, and they said, no, we're going to do AstraZeneca, and that's where they screwed up.
Yeah, well, that was one of the scripts, but the other script was AstraZeneca sold its stocks pre-made, unmade vaccine.
That's why we have 30 million doses in a warehouse somewhere.
And the UK, of course, I think they're doing more.
They didn't store it, so they're getting it shipped to them.
So the European Union has now said, hey, we're short.
We need this here.
Let's just stop doing it.
Let's make them not fulfill their contract.
Yes.
Italy has a big hand in this, too.
So this is a laugh riot, if you think about it, as just a bunch of futures contracts that aren't being, you know, they're demanding delivery.
Where's our delivery?
I haven't figured it out yet, but I'm pretty sure that Gavi is the exchange.
I think this Gavi thing, which is, you know, their whole, they're like a market maker.
They have stocks of a vaccine or contracts on stocks.
For all you know, there's a trading desk in this.
I wouldn't be surprised.
It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Wow.
Gee, that's good.
Hey, let's take a little break.
Let's watch something that Pfizer put together.
You may have seen it.
If you do, let me know and I'll turn it down.
They've created a number of fabulous commercials by Broadway stars.
Not that I recognize them, but, you know, maybe they're just chorus line people.
I got one from a dude and one from a girl, and they are so happy.
And this full-on video, beautifully shot, beautifully made, the song will give you enough clue as to what's going on here.
Pfizer presents...
It's vaccination day!
Woo!
Appointments are open, I'm group four.
I don't have to stay here anymore.
I'm sick of eating takeout on these plates.
The time indoors has got me stressed, but I just checked on CVS. Finally, they're giving me some taste.
I'll see actual real-life people.
It'll be totally strange.
I might even get to go see again.
You want to hear more?
Yeah, I think it's a catchy modern-style Broadway piece of crap.
I love this stuff.
Just so you know, it was a pretty big hit, this song.
So, yes, typical Broadway piece of crap.
But it's been around.
I'll hang out with someone Love you.
I won't watch sports by myself.
Oh, no.
I could go to a bar with buddies.
You're the best.
I don't have to live in fear.
Love you for the first time in forever.
And he's jumping and twirling in front of the CVS. I won't be right here.
Guys, I'm really proud of you in quarantine, kids.
You worked really hard.
Honey, I think our relationship's gotten a lot tighter now that we've been in closer space.
I gotta get our plane down.
Bye!
I'll sit in a seat that cramps my knees.
And I won't care because at least I'm free.
But then I'm going to an indoor place I'll be that guy who shows the bar My brand new vaccination card And then I'll shove some new gear in my fridge Card.
Scar?
No, card.
It should be scar.
It should be scar.
Woo-hoo!
For the first time in forever I can see my dad in my Aww.
His mom and dad looking all lethargic.
All my fear of death is gone.
So this is, they address the fear and the want and the needs of the customer and the girl.
And it's all outside.
It's beautiful, vibrant colors.
Expensive, expensive work here.
But again, it's Pfizer.
What do you expect?
Let's do the Broadway girls a little shorter.
Look at this stuff.
Isn't it neat?
Competent leaders getting us back on our feet.
The American Rescue Plan has almost everything.
A year into this mess, recovery unfolds.
How many wonders can one rescue plan hold?
Reading it over, you'd think, really?
Really?
No Republicans voted for this thing.
It's got direct relief to American families.
It's got a path to reopen our schools.
Cost of childcare?
Tax credits, baby.
It's like they care.
It's a big f***.
But wait, there's more.
Don't you want to be where the people are?
Don't you want to go?
Want to go out dancing?
Having convos with those...
What are they called again?
Oh yeah, Friends!
Friends!
Some folks thought we could reopen bars, but good strategy is required to reopen safely.
And now by May 1st, we can all get the vaccine.
Then we can talk.
Then we can hug.
She can't sing this woman.
Our friends and our family and our loved ones.
It's exciting to see.
She's doing the producer.
Ideology.
A plan for our world.
That's how that goes.
Alright.
Woohoo!
The Relief Act has saved us.
Thank you very much, Broadway girl.
So, that Broadway girl can't sing.
She shouldn't be on Broadway.
So let's talk about what's very important because I feel there's warnings here and people are not heeding them and it brings me to some conclusions about specifically the mRNA vaccines.
And the first thing is people are getting the vaccine who already had COVID-19.
This bothers me.
And this was a very good piece, around 30 minutes into the most recent Dvorak Horowitz, Unplugged.
And Andrew was aware that this would be questioned, as he is one of these people who got the vaccine after he had COVID. He had a full-blown case and it was confirmed.
Full-blown COVID. And he had a cute little list.
I liked it.
He said eight of the ten are true, but he said really it's because his wife died.
Wanted him to.
And I believe that.
I also think that knowing one of his favorite pastimes is cruises.
It's published everywhere.
All cruises will require vaccination proof.
So I think he's a little disingenuous there.
You left that one off the list.
Yeah, but it's big news.
Let me see.
It's in the show notes, so if anyone wants to check that out.
But...
When it comes to other people, I've figured it out.
Because we have friends, and a lot of friends are getting the vaccine after they've had COVID. And it's very simple.
Because this is a, you know, HIPAA rules be damned.
You sit down with anybody, hey, did you get your vaccine?
And you can't avoid it.
So Tina and I always say, no, no, no, we're fine, we're healthy, we're letting other people go first.
We need it much more than we do.
And we can say that with sincerity.
Because we're like that.
The main reason is people don't want to have to explain.
All they want to say is, yep, I got my vaccine.
They don't want to say, well, I had COVID, so I really don't need it.
Because that is not accepted.
You have to get the vaccine.
I don't care who you are, you need to get the vaccine.
And no one wants to have to explain themselves.
That's why.
It's just easier to say, Yeah, I got it.
And to actually get it instead of explaining why you don't need it.
That's it.
It's very, very sad.
And it's not scientific.
It's very sad.
And the best case example is not Horowitz by any means.
It's Boris Johnson.
Yes.
That guy was hospitalized.
Well, Trump also had COVID hospitalized and he says he got the vaccination as well.
I think he's a liar.
Yeah, on one of the two, or maybe both.
Now, I want to explain what I think is happening, because these are the people that are getting sick.
These are the ones who have the adverse reaction.
And we know that the corona vaccines have been tried for decades.
Decades.
And it always failed at what I call the mink test, because we know the mink were all exterminated to get them out of the way before the no agenda guys figured it out.
But it was done on ferrets.
And what would happen is they'd administer the coronavirus, not COVID-19, coronavirus vaccination to the ferret.
The ferret would be great.
The ferrets got antibodies, like, hey, look at me, I'm like a mink throwing me on a coat.
When they got the virus again, when they got it in the wild, they got very ill, a cytokine storm, I think it's called, their immune system went haywire, and they just burned up into a cloud of dust.
So...
And that always failed the vaccination trial because ferret immune systems are very similar to people.
So they didn't do that.
With this emergency use authorization, they have not done that.
There's been no animal testing.
It is my belief now, having spoken to enough people, that it doesn't really matter whether you get the wild virus and then have antibodies first or the vaccine and then antibodies first.
Once you get it again, that's when you can run into trouble.
And here's Dr.
Ryan.
He's one of the frontline healthcare workers, you know, the group, the Frontline Workers USA. He explains this and then we'll go into another very interesting fellow new on the scene.
We are injecting people with a synthetic sequence of nucleic acid.
We have never done this on a large scale in human history.
MRNA trials in mammals have led to odd cancers.
MRNA trials on mammals have led to autoimmune diseases.
Not right away, 6, 9, 12 months later.
So what we're doing right now are not approved vaccines.
And so everybody, how do you create demand?
You create scarcity.
Oh gosh, we can't get a shot, we can't get a shot.
Well, it's a beautiful marketing ploy to be able to say, gosh, there's a low supply, so everybody wants it now.
Well, everybody may want it, but...
The long-term safety data is not there.
Fifty percent of health care providers are absolutely not getting this injection, and that's the reason.
We don't trust the data.
The fox guarded the hen house.
The companies did their own data.
There were no independent observer groups looking at the data.
Do the shots decrease severity of disease and hospitalization?
Well, they seem to be, but they don't fall under the definition of creating pure immunity and preventing transmission.
If you're immune after an injection, why in the world would you still have to mask and social distance?
That is an admission that they don't know that it's a vaccine, and that's an absurdity.
There's no long-term proven safety.
My biggest concern, honestly, is antibody-dependent enhancement reaction.
You get a shot, you're fine.
Look, it's preventing this, preventing that.
I'm not anti-vax, not tinfoil hat.
I've had lots of vaccines.
My kids have had vaccines.
That's fine.
But...
If you get a coronavirus shot, historically SARS, MERS, animal coronaviruses, you get a shot, when you're exposed to a wild-type variant of the virus, 6, 9, 12 months later, the immune system can go haywire.
In the SARS vaccine trials, in the ferrets and the monkeys, 100%, 100% of the animals, when exposed to wild-type virus, ended up with immune reactions.
Alright, so that's also science.
Maybe not the science a lot of people want to hear.
So we had this guy, we both had the clip from Bosch, the professor, scientist, her doctor from Belgium, who had worked for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
He was saying, we should not be vaccinating people who have had COVID, they're shedding virus, you're actually making it worse, you're spreading it, it's exactly the wrong time.
I'm sorry?
You broke up.
Oh, okay.
I was actually just taking a pause.
I was just breathing for a second.
So there's a new guy, Newman Horchasm.
Norchasm.
Norchasm, I guess.
Newman Kuhlman, H-O-O-M-A-N, Norchasm.
I think he may be Egyptian or something.
And he's a former surgeon.
He's retired now.
He's not that old.
But he says, oh my God, we should not be doing this.
This is exactly the wrong thing.
His reason is...
That the Moderna mRNA, that's kind of the basis.
That's what Pfizer is doing.
That's what I think AstraZeneca is also a version of that.
The only one that's not is Johnson& Johnson, which in my mind and the way I see it and what I've heard classifies it as a medical device and not as a vaccine.
But the company that started this Moderna, If you go on their website and take a look, they do chemotherapy.
That doesn't mean it's poison like your traditional chemotherapy.
They do mRNA chemotherapy, and they tailor it for each individual.
And this science, you know, it's DNA. You're modifying stuff.
You're giving instructions with mRNA.
It may be the future.
I mean, Elon Musk is into this stuff.
Maybe.
I mean, it may not be for me personally, but you can get a shot, fix everything, be preventative.
That's been pontificated about for years and years and years.
So maybe it's true, but it will always be individualized.
And that's where I think this doctor, as you listen to what he says in this one clip, is from Tucker Carlson tonight, which I'm surprised, I cut out Carlson, I'm surprised that this guy was on the show.
I think that's what he may be seeing here.
Specifically when he keeps bringing up, not one size fits all.
I am a very staunch supporter of this vaccine.
I believe that Operation Warp Speed, frankly, delivered to America in under a year, the equivalent of putting a man on Mars, frankly.
And this vaccine is probably going to be one of the most powerful and effective vaccines we've ever made.
But just like any other medical therapy and treatment, it's not a one-size-fit-all.
And if we attempt to make one size fit all, we will almost certainly cause harm.
With the concern being what we're doing here is an absolutely unprecedented vaccine campaign in the history of Western civilization.
We're deploying a vaccine.
And this, you know, this is, frankly, just one of the one of the most dramatic differences between this vaccine campaign and any other.
And I think that, you know, you don't have to really go to medical school, Tucker, to understand that it is not a standard approach to vaccinate people who are already infected.
So I think it's a dramatic error on the part of our public health officials to try to put this vaccine into a one-size-fits-all paradigm.
And I have to tell you, I'm personally very familiar with what happens and how harm is caused when the medical establishment and experts...
Try to put a medical therapy or a medical treatment into a one-size-fits-all type of app, which is exactly what we're doing with this vaccine.
So we're going to take this problem that we have with the COVID-19 pandemic, which is that half a percent of the population is susceptible to dying, And we're going to compound it by causing totally avoidable harm by vaccinating people who are already infected recently.
The signal is almost deafening.
You know, the people who are having complications and adverse events are people who have been recently or currently or previously infected.
I don't think we can ignore this.
I mean, there's some very, very strong anecdotal cases that are coming through, and I'm happy to talk to you about these.
But I believe that, you know, we can't trade efficacy.
We can't trade safety for efficacy.
So in other words, yes, this vaccine is going to be one of the most effective vaccines we've ever made.
But if you take that efficacy and say, you know what, we're going to sacrifice the lives of X number of Americans we're unsuspecting and trusting, I think you're doing a real disservice.
I mean, I think it's a problem.
So there's my conclusion that this is, you know, they're very good at Apparently, I said it, that's apparent from their own literature.
They're very good at tailoring mRNA treatments for people.
But if you're doing it for a mass population, you do, I'll do it somewhere in the middle here.
And that could have adverse effects on people who fall outside of that range.
I mean, this is very different from the traditional vaccine process.
So if it's reprogramming something inside of you, you know, and you've got Windows Vista, that's what you're running on, instead of, you know, instead of Linux, you know, you try and do a Windows 10 patch to a Windows Vista, it could be bad.
Does that make any sense?
Wow.
That's actually a pretty good analogy.
That's what I just came up with.
It feels like it, though.
So anyway, I told Horowitz...
The thing comes in there, it doesn't know what you're running, it doesn't care.
Yeah, it tries to install, it's like permission error, or whoops, look at this, registry!
I told Horowitz I have dibs on his Rodecaster.
I'm sorry, what?
Say again?
I told Horowitz I have dibs on his Rodecaster.
Oh, that's sick.
Damn, that took long.
Yeah, it took long because I didn't expect it to go there.
My brain doesn't work that way.
Mine does.
Horowitz got it.
Yeah.
Anyway, you know, we'll see.
We'll see.
I think...
I mean, I'm not anti-vax.
I've had...
Recent is...
Oh, gosh.
2003?
I had...
I didn't even know what I got anymore.
The military shot me up when I went to Iraq, you know?
Yeah, I made a choice at that point.
I was not happy about it.
Well, it's probably something...
Yellow fever or something, or God knows whatever.
Yellow fever.
Yeah, you don't want to get yellow fever.
No.
No.
So, you know, not happy.
By the way...
I forgot all about that.
That's interesting.
I went to the voodoo doctor.
Oh, your old voodoo doctor.
Yeah, the applied kinesiologist.
Yeah, I haven't had a full-on checkup in, gosh, in over a year.
So he does the whole thing with pressing on my hand and feeling everything and the voodoo that he does that I like so much, that I believe in.
Which is a very elaborate supplement sales job, but it's very convincing and I feel great.
And I don't know the inside of a hospital or doctor's office.
So I had these allergies ever since I moved to Austin.
They've been really bad.
I got the mold fixed, which is done with quercetin and nettles.
It comes in a combo pill.
Never had a problem with mold really since then.
Or if I knew it was really bad, I could take a few extra and good to go.
It's a great product.
But I still, in fact, I was getting sinus explosions almost the closer we go to downtown for out to dinner.
It's like something in the air downtown.
I can't handle it.
It sucks when you're going out on couples dates.
Are they pooping in the street like in San Francisco?
Well, yes, but I don't have to go downtown.
I can go right to East Riverside for that.
Thanks, Adler.
So, we did a hair analysis, which means, you know, you get some hair, and you send it off to the lab, and they come back and they check, because it's the stuff that your body is pushing out, because my hair grows very fast.
Yeah.
One thing and one thing only that is probably the cause of all my ailments, and maybe cause of my Tourette's.
Well, possibly the hair that you would look in the hair for arsenic and Tina is slowly poisoning you.
A very drip, drip, drip style.
Good try.
Good try.
No.
Arsenic.
No.
Very high level of mercury.
Oh.
Yes.
And Dr.
Ron was all jitty.
He's like, I got...
Great news and not so good news.
I said, what's the great news?
The great news is, I've been seeing you for 10 years.
Now it all falls into place.
This is you.
I said, what's not the great news?
Well, you're poisoned by mercury.
Okay.
So...
And it's a good 10% over where it should be.
It explains a lot.
Well, and I say, so I'm on a detox now.
He says, I can get the mercury out.
The problem is, is there something in you that's producing it?
Number one producer of mercury.
You can look it up on YouTube.
It's nuts.
You see people chewing food.
It's your fillings.
If you have any of those silver-like fillings, guaranteed they've got mercury in them.
And, you know, so, going back to how I got this, I said, well, where did this come from?
He said, yeah, I don't know.
I said, you know, they also said it affects your nervous system.
He said it could very well be the source of your Tourette's.
And I said, well, that's interesting.
That started around when I was seven, when I remember we went overseas, we moved from the U.S., and I got a whole crap load of vaccinations, right?
Now it's just self-position.
Mercury's in vaccinations.
Yeah, certainly back then.
Still.
How about that, huh?
Since you brought up Tourette's.
All right.
Did you think the hot mic guy in the airplane was a Tourette's guy?
I haven't seen the hot mic guy.
Oh, I sent you a clip.
I sent you the whole clip.
This is taken off the air.
I have it here.
No, no, I haven't seen it.
Is it a thing, the way he's talking, or should I be watching it?
No, no, this is a clip.
It's an audio clip.
It was taken from, you know, these guys who record everything that the air traffic controllers do.
Yeah, what's on the ATC, or on the frequency?
Yeah, this is an ATC recording, and nobody knows who it is, because he never identified himself.
But this is, it's San Jose Mineta International.
All of a sudden, right in the middle of a bunch of, you know, guys landing and taking off, you hear this.
21143 is ready to go.
Yeah, fuck the spice.
Goddamn liberal fucks.
Throw like eight guns out here somewhere.
That's it.
Fuck.
Fuck them weirdos.
Probably dive around them.
Fuck it.
Haunt days.
Fuck it.
Fuck it.
Ooh.
Lord shit.
and they go slow as fuck.
And that's calling on Tower.
That's 124-Fundjoha, Mike.
You don't have balls unless you're fucking rolling coal, man.
Yeah, yeah.
That's when your mic keys up.
Very unfortunate, especially since they knew who it was.
They had his tail number.
Oops.
Oh, yeah.
No, he doesn't have to rest.
He's just angry.
Well, he did a little Tourette's thing in there.
You couldn't hear it.
He'd have to listen to it a couple of times to catch it.
But it was this little break where he couldn't quite pull his words together.
I've heard it before.
I think it was Tourette's.
I mean, it was his frozen Hyundai's in the middle of that thing.
I thought you'd heard it so we could talk about it.
No, I'm sorry.
Sorry, I haven't.
You never opened my email.
I do.
I do.
If you sent it last night.
I'm just saying that because you always say to me.
Well, because that's true, too.
You know what?
You're right.
I have a filter.
It's like, send it over here, and once in a while, look in the box.
You know, like you do.
Once in a while, you type in your search in squirrel mail, Adam, and you'll say, what are you saying?
I do.
I do that more than once a week.
Oh, I'm sure.
That's because squirrel mail throws you randomly all over the place.
I have no idea why.
I'm squirrel hunting.
I'm not taking it from that squirrel.
Okay, a couple other things before we take a break.
Long haulers.
We haven't talked about long haulers in a bit, but the clip custodian caught a little shorty here on ABC. Meanwhile, we're learning more about the so-called long haulers who suffer COVID symptoms for months.
Most experience neurological symptoms, which include strange dreams and visions.
Sounds pretty groovy, actually.
I'd love to know.
Did they tell you what these dreams and visions were?
No, I guess not.
What kind of a reporter is this?
That's the first thing I'd want to know.
Yeah.
Should I get it for the dreams alone?
Well, maybe not.
Anyway, all of this will be remembered by the children of America, at least.
And I'm sure the book will be translated into many different languages as a very good time where courageous people came together and courageous heroes really did what they could and they led the world.
And yes, so sometimes they messed up and they just went back and corrected it because that's how science works all of a sudden.
Yes, we're going to erase all the bull crap that took place for the children of America, and we're going to teach them This history of what took place, this is how it will go down in history.
This children's book is just the first one to do it.
We have seen him a lot on TV during the coronavirus pandemic, but now Dr.
Anthony Fauci is the star of a children's book.
The book is called Dr.
Fauci, How a Boy from Brooklyn Became America's Doctor.
It's all about Fauci's life.
I spoke to the author, Kate Messner, about the doctor's time in Massachusetts.
Dr.
Fauci is really interesting from a scientist's perspective because he's a scientist who really values the liberal arts as well.
And he talked about that both as it relates to his Jesuit high school, Regis High School in New York.
Same one the former New York banker went to, FYI. And College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, because he was pre-med, but he was also studying philosophy and history and literature, and he values that so much as far as broadening his perspective on the world, which is really important for a scientist and somebody whose job involves so much communication with people.
What do you hope that kids and parents take away from reading this book?
Well, for kids, one of Dr.
Fauci's biggest takeaways, I think, is that science is a process.
And we're always learning more and always understanding more.
And we're going to make mistakes when we're trying to figure things out.
And it's really important to be able to look at new information with an open mind and revise those ideas, which is something that was especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was a brand new virus and no one had seen it before.
We were starting with zero information.
And so as we learned more, we saw our public health figures revising their guidance on how to stay safe.
So I think that's really important for kids to remember that when they're involved in problem solving in science, they're going to make mistakes.
And the key to everything is figuring out what went wrong and figuring out what's next.
Exactly.
It's like, all we hear all day is shut up, it's science, you don't understand science, science, masks, three times science, science, but it's going to be covered up for the children of the world by, oh, they made mistakes, but they were very smart and started from zero.
Yeah, 20 years of experience.
Yeah.
That's how it's going to go down.
What a crock.
And who were those two dingbats?
I don't know.
Precisely.
I don't know.
Who was it?
That was, uh, I don't know.
And then Dr.
Joseph Alpert, the editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Medicine, has written an article and published it.
He says, patients with serious disease are dying from fear of COVID, scared to death.
There you go.
Mass hysteria, but in my old Substack columns.
Thank you very much.
It's in the show notes.
You should look at this one.
Maybe tack it on.
We have a good library of stuff about this.
This should be in the National Archives.
This whole year of our show.
Our podcast should definitely.
This whole year of our show should be in there.
I agree.
Ramsey Cain's back.
Maybe that can be his next project.
Get us in there.
Ramsey, you can do it.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the confused listener's note, Mr.
John C. Dvorak!
Oh, crap.
I wasn't ready.
That's right, everybody.
That's right, everybody.
You know, honestly, on the last show, when you were like, no, no, I've got screw tops, I thought that was kind of John's way of saying, I'm done with this gag.
Yeah.
So I was prepared for it to be over.
That's interesting.
I misjudged that.
Gotcha.
Yeah, because I actually, normally I have those two clips ready to go.
Like, I don't need him.
He's not going to do it.
Damn it!
You foiled me again, Dvorak!
Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
Foiled.
Also in the morning, all ships to sea, boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
We do have a few people to thank for show 1332.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hello, trolls!
Can I count you?
Stand still.
Stand still.
Stop biting.
Hey, hey, hey.
Okay, here we go.
Hands up.
We got 1667 right now.
Low.
That's low.
We're waning.
That's the COVID thing.
And we didn't start with COVID. People dropped off.
We didn't start with COVID. We're going to have a real drop-off on next Thursday.
You'll find out.
Let's mark it down.
Sunday.
We didn't start with COVID. When we get to Leet, we might actually get somewhere.
That's noagendastream.com where you can...
Although I think Leet falls on the days we're off.
No, it doesn't.
Oh, okay, good.
No, I think I checked that specifically.
You crazy?
NoagendaStream.com.
We've got a live player there, live troll room.
You can go in, chat to your heart's content.
Troll, troll, troll, troll, troll all you want.
The live shows is fun.
There's always something going on.
There's always lots of people logged in.
That's NoagendaStream.com.
And then we have NoagendaSocial.com.
You know, I discovered that a lot of the share links were still active, right?
What does that mean?
Oh, remember, I closed it down.
I want to keep it capped at 10,000.
So you can't register anymore.
But a whole bunch of people had share links where you can share an invite.
I'm like, how did it get to 10,100?
I don't even know if I was able to disable it properly or not.
Damn you!
Damn you!
You've defeated my system, so I'm still working on it.
NoagendaSocial.com, it's a Mastodon server, which only means, the important part of that is it's federated, which means you can follow anyone at NoagendaSocial.com or message them.
I'm at Adam at NoagendaSocial.com.
He's at John C. Dvorak at NoagendaSocial.com.
The Keeper reactivated her account.
She heard about The Purge coming up, and she certainly hasn't been on NoAgendaSocial.com for over two years, so she was on deck, and she reactivated.
So, you know, this is quite valuable to be a part of this.
And then the art for episode 1331, it was the palindrome.
Let me just bring it up here.
We titled that one Brood 10 or Brood X is the way it was written, which is the correct way to do it.
The artwork was Mountain Jay, who scores yet another one.
And it was just, I mean, I even used a version of this for the pre-stream.
She did about four or five.
This was the Clown World Order.
And it was kind of no competition, wouldn't you agree?
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, there's a couple of things we talked about, but we were going with...
Well, okay, yeah, so Daryl did the...
Oh, no, Comic Street Blogger did the...
There were a couple of Asian fevers, and now, I will say there's one thing we take into consideration.
The whole point of this is to have an exciting image when someone is looking at a list of podcast episodes in their podcast app.
And a lot of apps barely even do that.
So the other thing it's really good for is when we post the show on social media.
That was going to be taken down.
That could possibly get me taken off Twitter.
The yellow fever with the Asian girl.
Wouldn't you agree?
Oh yeah, absolutely.
The same with America's asshole with Chinese food and chopsticks.
I mean, you've got to be a little smarter about that.
Well, I think a lot of the guys just put it in just for the other artists to look at or for us to go, oh my god, this is terrible.
Oh, that's possible.
Well, it was Comic Strip Blogger who also put up another butt fart.
He'll put a butt up every show.
Some air coming out of it.
Comic Strip Butt Man.
Was there anything else that we liked?
No, that was pretty much it.
Okay.
I'd like to do a little plug for, I told you I was working with some Israeli company, and they picked up Podcasting 2.0 and released a new version of their app earlier this week.
It's called Breeze, B-R-E-E-Z, and it's the first real podcast app that implements the Podcasting 2.0 value-for-value streaming payments.
Did you see anything about this, John, by any chance?
Nope, nope, nope, and nope.
All right.
Well, it made the Bitcoin news, and it made Podcast Business Journal.
However, as an experiment, I would love for producers to take a look at it, give it a shot, see if you can make it work.
If you've never done Bitcoin, I'm more interested.
I'll put a link in the show notes, the Breeze app, B-R-E-E-Z. For every minute you're listening to value from a podcast, you can send back micropayments of Bitcoin in value directly to the podcaster.
And you'll see all of these images, and one day we'll get artists to be able to get a piece of the action.
Who knows?
Um...
Noagendaartgenerator.com That's where you can upload your art.
Already stuff coming in for today.
Good stuff.
It's just astounding what the artists do.
Really appreciate all the work they do.
It's part of the time, talent, and treasure of the Value for Value model.
Pioneered by this very No Agenda show.
You give something.
You give back what you've received in return.
We like financial donations.
Time, talent, treasure.
There it is.
Please, when you donate, make sure it's of impact to you.
That's what value for value is.
Whatever it means to you, could be a number, could be whatever, that's how it works.
Whatever satisfies you and it'll satisfy us and we've been doing it for, working on 14 years now.
Let's look at our executive producer and associate executive producers who we credit as such in the show notes who have come in real strong with the financial support today.
Sir Paul, the trusted advisor, starts things off.
That's been a while, I think, haven't we?
Yeah, it came with 1331, the palindrome, which makes him a member of the 1331 club.
Yes, sir.
Unfortunately, this is a show 1332.
Well, we'll give it to him.
He's in Fort Worth.
It requests karma and party blowers for Brother John and fiancé to Jennifer's approaching fall wedding.
Oh.
John and Jennifer.
Home buying, also some karma for home buying and human resource making.
Oh my gosh.
The trifecta.
Little girl, yay, and that's amazing.
Jingles, por favor.
You got a lot of work to do there with all this karma you want coming your way.
Yay!
Oh my gosh, that is amazing!
You've got karma.
Matt Hersey, or Hershey, but probably Hersey, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 336.
Dude named Ben, who hates the mouse, John is my spirit animal.
336 is your share of my modern stock gains this year.
No jingles, no karma, Matt.
Do you think he might have meant Moderna?
I know, but since it's capitalized, do you think maybe that was a spell-checking error?
I'm guessing it probably was Moderna because its stock skyrocketed.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, thank you very much, Matt.
So he could have made some serious money with that stock.
Appreciate it, Matt.
Michael Spillan.
And I just read him.
Frederick, Missouri.
Although I don't read him well.
Frederick, Maryland.
You do fine.
$333.50.
Yeah.
Birthday donation.
ITM. When I realized the show 1333 would be just one day after March 27th, the day that completes my 50th trip around the sun, I knew it was time to finally donate.
Unfortunately, this is show 1332.
May I please have a de-douching?
You've been de-douched.
I was hit in the mouth by Sir JB of the DMV several years back, but I only listened occasionally until long came the scandemic and the lockdowns last March.
I haven't missed the show since.
John, thanks for the 2016 Bordeaux wine tip.
Oh, yes.
I'm curious whether you prefer those over 2013 Napa and Sonoma wines.
Different animal.
Can't say I do.
2013 was a tremendous Napa Valley vintage.
2012 was actually not bad.
Yeah, I agree.
I would appreciate your take just as much as Adam.
Yes.
You got it right there.
Anyway, I'm too damn old to say anything.
Kindly request the following jingles.
Trump aroused, Fauci wheeze, goodnight left nut, and if karma is also permitted, may I please have an R2D2. Thank you both for keeping my amygdala in check.
Chris Spillin' in Frederick, Maryland.
It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
Goodnight left nut.
You've got...
Karma.
Ever the Comedians.
Tell us a story.
Sarah Hamrow in Seattle, Washington, 33333.
My second donation, the first one being for DJT's birthday, I was hit in the mouth more than a year and a half ago by my smoking hot fiancé who turns 59 today.
He's on the list.
March 25th.
Happy birthday...
Dean, can you think, Dino Monkey Boy with curly hair?
Dino Monkey Boy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you got it.
Dino Monkey Boy with curly hair.
You got it.
I have been meaning to donate for quite some time with this birthday falling on a show day.
It was meant to be.
Please call him out as a douchebag.
You got it.
Douchebag!
Very strange, psychotic note.
That's true.
As well as wishing him a happy birthday.
I love you very much, honey.
And I will kill you.
For jingles, I would like some goat karma.
Living the mac and cheese life, Sleepy Joe, and that's true.
Thank you both for keeping it real.
Keeping me sane, giggling, and laughing out loud.
Sincerely, Sarah.
Don't be calling our producers insane.
But it was interesting.
Living...
Mac and Cheese.
Keep it go.
That's true.
Keep it go.
Keep it go.
You've got Carmen.
I had forgotten about that one.
That's a good one.
Our No Agenda kids are the best.
And they're so abused by their parents, it's hilarious.
Well, I have a clip today from one of them.
Mark Lyons in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
333.
I'm finally able to throw some money your way now that I've got my Biden bucks.
Been listening since 2016 because I was sick of the partisan media coverage.
Thank you for your wit and scrutiny of the media.
I need a dedouching and some karma.
You've been dedouched.
You've got karma.
Steve Cabrell.
I'm guessing.
3-3-3.
ITM, John and Adam, in honor of show 1-3-3-2.
Ah, you got it right.
Being divisible by 3-3-3.
Oh, that's interesting.
It was a great opportunity.
Well, there's another lost opportunity.
He says it was a great opportunity to get close to my future title of Sir Please Stop!
Thank you for the bi-weekly amygdala therapy.
No jingles.
I'm just curious about how the original karma, what the original karma was, so I'll request one from those who could use a bit.
Cheers, stub.
Yeah, that's just this.
This is the old original, original karma.
You've got karma.
That's it.
Yeah, we still play the original karma.
Yeah, sure.
No one's ever produced one better, and we're not soliciting one.
Well...
You want to take this next note from Sheila?
Yes.
Let me open it up because this is a note that was sent in.
I can read it.
I got it.
In the morning, John and Adam, listening to your show last May when my friend Andrea hit me in the mouth.
It's $333, by the way.
And she's from North Carolina.
I want to thank you both for 10 months of conspiracy therapy.
I have learned so much from your show and you helped me realize I am not alone.
Last summer, I recommended your show to a friend I've known for over 40 years.
She's panicked over COVID and hates Trump.
We've not seen each other or spoken about anything political since July.
I thought hearing your show would alleviate some of her fears and give her another perspective.
Uh-oh.
And I'm reading this cold, by the way.
I have no idea how this is going to unfold, but typically that could be a bad idea.
Out of the blue, in late January, she defriended me via a scathing text because of my political views and the events of January 6th.
She also said she could not bring herself to listen to your show because of the comments she read about your show on Reddit.
Oh, ha!
No.
Oh, my God.
She went to the Reddit.
So, I have it blocked in the VPN. I can't even go to Reddit.
So, although I lost a longtime friend, I feel like I found two new friends in you.
Thank you for your courage.
Yes.
We'll come over and hang out and drink Chardonnay.
You lost a psycho friend.
Yeah, exactly.
Or a lame brain.
You can use either word.
Yes.
I think you're right.
It's sad, but it's what happens.
Please accept my first treasure donation of $333.
Not an original amount, I know, but here's why I chose it.
The year I turned 30, there were a lot of 3's in my life.
My apartment number was 333.
I paid an attorney $333 to help with a speeding ticket.
I started waking up at 333 in the morning, or looking at the clock in the afternoon at being 333 p.m.
On my first Vegas trip last year, I played roulette on the line between 30 and 33 and 1!
This year I've received notification of my annual salary adjustment and bonus on 3-3 at 3.33pm.
The signs are clear.
I was meant to love your show or I am living a lie.
You be the judge.
Anyway, it's clearly time to donate.
Thank you for providing valuable information and helping me not feel so alone in this crazy world.
And if you would just tell me what the jingles are, because I wasn't ready for that, I'm sorry.
Okay, hold on.
It's...
She wants...
A Sharpton.
I got a Sharpton.
She wants Don't Eat Me Bojiden.
Okay, I can get that pretty quick.
And that's true, you got that ready.
And that's true, I have ready...
And Jobs Karma for a friend.
Okay.
And then she says, bye.
Yeah.
Ha ha.
R-E-S-P-I-C-T.
Don't eat me, Bo-Jaden.
You're scary.
So scary.
That's true.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You saw karma.
She mentions a little P.S. here.
Actually, I'm from the greater Raleigh area, but I just wanted to hear John say...
Fuquay Verena again.
I think a lot of people...
Because I always say Fuquay, I think.
Fuquay, yeah.
How do you pronounce it?
Fuquay.
Fuquay.
It's also Soog Night.
I should have known that, but I was...
Yeah, no, we used Soog.
We hung.
We hung out.
Popping bottles in the club with the Soog.
Soog.
Soog.
Yes.
Matthew Aitken, Aitken, Aitken, Aitken, I think in Bellevue, Washington.
Aitken.
32403.
Hi, guys!
Oh, God.
You're encouraging this behavior.
I'm not.
I'm just reading it.
It's in all caps.
What am I supposed to do?
Wanted to send a birthday biscuit for my oldest human resource, Amelia, who turns 18 on 324.
I continue to try and hit my human resources in the mouth, but this is how I ensure they listen to the podcast.
Forcing kids to listen to the podcast just turns 18.
Very good.
Very good.
I'm proud of you.
They are starting to realize that M5M is bombarding them with false narratives.
We read a note from someone very influenced by that earlier in the show.
We did.
Keep preaching to us and a little R2D2 karma.
A never hurts mat.
They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
You've got...
Karma.
Elwa Liebel in Newark, Delaware.
See donation email 323.
Yeah, I think I have.
I didn't print that.
Yeah.
Do you have it?
No, wait.
I have Sir Proteus.
Is that Sir Proteus?
I don't know.
No, that's not Sir Proteus.
No.
No, he asked me about that email.
I looked.
I don't have it.
323 in Newark, Delaware.
I hate it when that happens.
I'll go look for it afterwards.
Yeah, sorry about that.
Read in the second half of the show.
Oh, okay.
That's a real quick make good.
Meanwhile, we have Dean Anemendorf.
Drove.
Anemendorf.
From McLean, Virginia.
Yes, I have.
It's written on a sheet that was taken from a stenographer's notebook or something.
Yeah.
Torn out.
It's for $250.
And he writes from Dean, My second contribution on my way to knighthood.
Thanks for a great show.
Please give me relationship karma and jobs karma.
You got it.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs!
You've got karma.
Michael Bolling in Goleta.
Goleta.
Goleta, California.
233.
Hey guys!
It's not me.
No, no, that's not true, because this was not capitalized.
This was just, hey guys, you could have just done the hey guys, not hi guys, like the other one was all caps, so...
Hey guys!
It's your bowling of the good land, and...
We're here all week.
Yeah.
Sir Bowling of the Goodland in the no-fun state of California, here donating to honor, in honor it says, but it says to honor, of my friend Richard T. This is the weekend of the GBOMC Super Spreader event, his bachelor party.
Nice!
I like it.
Although he's a man of the weekend, I still have to call him out as a royal douchebag.
Douchebag!
For never donating.
And by the way, royal douchebag.
Wait, how can he be Sir Bowling of the Goodland if he never donated?
No, he's the guy...
No, no.
Oh, I'm sorry.
His friend, Richard T. I'm sorry, I was confused.
Oh, good.
I was confused.
Yeah, Richard T., you douchebag.
Well, not only that, he's a royal douchebag.
That's a different category.
We haven't seen that.
Hold on a second.
I hate him with another one.
Douchebag!
That's for your crown.
For never donating.
Love and light for you two on the best podcast in the universe.
Can you please send us some hangover karma as we are going to need it.
P.S. Ryan H. John S. and of course James S. S-O-M-F-M are also major.
Oh, we got another more douchebaggers.
Oh, okay.
Let's do it again.
We got Ryan H. We got Ryan John James.
We got John.
Douchebag.
And we got James.
Douchebag.
And I would say yes, I have some hangover karma.
A very wise man told me recently, now that you're about to get married, there is only one food product that will turn women off of sex.
John, can you enlighten us?
I don't know.
Is it garlic?
No, it was wedding cake.
It was your joke.
I can't believe you blew the Steve Allen classic.
Oh, man!
You've got karma.
This is why we don't do bits.
It was just recent.
Maybe you sent it to me by mistake.
I thought it was funny that you sent that to me.
I think you're mixing me up.
Okay.
Virginia Watson, Ketchikan, Ketchikan, Ketchikan, Alaska, 21401.
I have no note for Virginia.
I think she's number two here.
No, that's Sheila.
No, don't have a note for her.
Sorry.
Let us know.
We'll be happy to pick it up.
Chasen Ibarra.
Ibarra?
Northridge, California.
Hello!
See, now that's a note.
Hello!
Hello!
I'm sending in a donation of $200.
How about this?
Wait.
How about...
Hello!
Nice.
I think that's what he meant.
No, he didn't stretch out the O's.
This is just more like, hello.
And Chasen's, I don't know.
I'm sending in a donation of $200 in honor of my smoking hot wife, DJ.
Back in January, she sent in a donation for my birthday, but did not dedicate it.
And she got the producer credit.
So it's only fair that for her birthday, she gets the public recognition for surviving a year of the scandemic while I get the producer credit.
This show has helped the both of us stay sane during this bullcrap year, IHG.
I introduced her to Mo Fax during the BLM riots, and she enjoyed the show a lot.
I said, hey, if you like that, you'll love No Agenda.
We are now both on our way to being knighted and damed.
Love you, babe.
You're the shit.
Jingle, smoking hot wife.
Yes, we've got a boogity for you.
And then he wants a that's true.
And then a original shut-up slave.
Yes, that's just the kid.
And a goat karma.
We got it.
Thank you very much, the two of you.
Jason gets the credit.
That's true.
Shut up, slave!
You've got...
Karma.
Last on the list is Kelly B. in Lockport, Illinois, 200.
And she says, in the morning, I'm an elder millennial, an elder millennial.
What?
What?
We divide them into two groups, the younger and the older.
So she's 30 plus then, I guess.
She's 30 plus probably.
Who came across the best podcast in the universe during the BLM riots trying to find some logical explanations of the world.
Well, nearly a year later, most other podcasts have fallen by the wayside.
But I still eagerly wait for my bi-weekly dose of no agenda.
I am sad to say this is my first donation, so I'm desperately in need of a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
Thank you so much for keeping this germaphobe sane during the COVID fearmonger takeover.
How can you imagine?
Could I please get a Build Back Better jingle?
Okay, thanks and bye.
Kelly B., thank you.
I love Jeff Smith.
That's the plan, by the way.
Did you know that the infrastructure plan is Build Back Better?
Is it now?
Yeah.
Well, let's wrap this up.
How about the potholes on Highway 80?
Well, hold on.
We'll play it in a moment.
Let's wrap this up.
Thank you.
These are executive producers and associate executive producers.
It's a real credit.
Go ahead, look on IMDb.
You'll see real Hollywood producers.
Not even douchebags.
Some.
They are also enjoying the credit of being an executive or associate executive producer of the No Agenda Show, in this case, episode 1332.
Thank you very much for participating in the grand experiment that we call our Value for Value, and we look forward to thanking our other producers, $50 and above, coming up in our second segment.
If you'd like to participate in this...
Very simple.
You go to a donation website.
We've figured out and have a jingle for it.
Thank you for your time, your talent, your treasure.
Producing episode 1332 of the No Agenda Show.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Order!
Order!
Help!
Shut up!
Yeah, so Chuck Schumer, who calls President Biden, Biden, in his public speeches, which I thought was interesting.
Yeah, he's all over the Build Back Better, which is the plan.
Here he is talking about the infrastructure plan, which I heard was going to be $4 trillion, but it kind of came out as it'll be $3 trillion.
It's likely to be the Biden plan, which is called Build Back Better, which combines a bunch of things.
Number one, dramatic increase in infrastructure.
Both the traditional infrastructure, but also green infrastructure.
It's very climate-oriented.
So, for instance, we would have a power grid that could bring solar and wind power from one end of the country to the other.
Okay, stop right there, Chucky.
Chucky, Chucky, Chucky.
You are not sending DC wind power from one end of the country to the other, bro.
That's not science.
From one end of the country to the other.
I've made a proposal, which Biden has accepted, that we greatly encourage electric cars, which don't pollute, as opposed to the internal combustion engine.
And this is exactly on track.
This is Build Back Better, and it's all about the coming after the grid.
This thing in Texas, I'm questioning now how coincidental it was.
We know it was purely because of contracts and futures and trading and risk-taking, which went to the detriment of the residents of Texas.
But maybe some people let it go so we could have this narrative of, oh, you should connect to our grid and we need to redo the grid.
The same Obama bot who felt he was invincible after getting the vaccine said, oh, and he lives in Texas.
He said, oh yeah, no, our grid is so shit, so we've got to finally tackle that, and that's going to take some money, and that's good, and we need charging points for electric vehicles.
This is the plan.
This is the plan.
That is your build-back, coming for the grid.
Now, if we were genuinely conspiracy nuts, like your letter writer said...
We would have picked up on it, or at least thought of this idea that the Texas grid thing was a scam.
It was a scam to push the build back better.
And it's no coincidence that then Schumer would come out with this nonsense about sending wind power from coast to coast.
Yeah, which is laughable.
Yeah.
The thing is, we've got to remember that all these doofuses that are in Congress, with the exception of very few, and maybe the few that are educated, like let's say even Rand Paul, who is a legitimate doctor.
There's a couple other doctors that are there.
They're well-educated.
But most of them don't know jack about science at all.
They're always pushing science, science, because it's something they can fall back.
They don't even know what science is.
They wouldn't know science if it bit them in the ass.
Absolutely.
Well, it's also a part of degrowthism, which is a term we should be on the lookout for.
Degrowthism.
How do you spell that?
Degrowthism.
It's all one word.
It's not hyphenated.
So what is degrowth?
This is...
Rope?
Degrowth.
G-R-O-W-T-H. Degrowth.
Oh, degrowth.
Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system, which pursues...
Capitalism is bad.
Let's kill it.
This is your stakeholder capital, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction.
The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritize social and ecological well-being instead of corporate profits, overproduction, and excess consumption.
This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity, and autonomy.
Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries.
There's a bad life for all.
Oh, man.
This is Axios, though.
And this is it, John.
Axios, yeah.
Oh, the multi-billionaire because she married Steve Jobs and really did nothing else, but she inherited like tens of billions of dollars and now pretty much runs Disney and does Axios.
That, the Loren talking about how we should just kill capitalism and degrowth.
I mean, are you kidding me?
I would like to say...
That what you just accused her of is of marrying for money.
She didn't marry for money.
As a result of being married, she got rich.
She deserves every penny regardless.
She does not.
Yes, she does.
Absolutely.
Hey, this is what I've convinced Tina of.
Every penny, baby.
Every penny I'm taking from you.
Come on.
De-growthism.
I think when this...
I mean, we laugh about the Klaus Schwab's and the big reset.
I know we do.
Well, you did specifically.
That's because we're a couple of...
But this is the outgrowth of that.
This is Chuck Schumer.
He's still kind of an important person in American politics.
Yeah, you'd think he'd be supporting the idea of capitalism instead of trying to turn us into a communist state, which is what this is about.
Yes.
Yes.
I know, and it sounds so boomerish when we say it, but, well, you'll find out.
I don't think it'll happen in America, personally.
No, it won't happen, but it's beside the point.
The only reason it won't happen is because of guys like us carping on it constantly.
Exactly.
If we weren't around, and I'm not going to say it's only us, because it's not, but if it wasn't for guys like us bitching and moaning constantly about these idiots trying to screw us over, take all our money, and make us not have any property, Yes.
What kind of an idiot?
Who buys into that kind of thing?
John.
Okay.
One of the stepdaughters is going to Maine.
They're going to Maine because they want to go live in Maine.
Maine?
An elder millennial.
Well, no.
Not true.
26.
So they're driving.
And, well, where are you going to stay along the way?
No, we're going to sleep in a Walmart parking lot.
There is a movement with today's millennials, a certain segment, who are into that.
I mean, Tina and I are like, what?
I mean, yeah, I've slept in an Airstream.
It's safe, but why just pop into a motel?
No, no, no, we like this.
So they get a...
Pretend to be homeless.
No.
No, they just want to sleep.
No, that's not true.
They just want to sleep in the car.
In a weird way, I understand it.
They want to sleep in a car.
In a weird way, I get it.
The car probably stinks enough.
I mean, come on.
So anyway, you know, these attitudes do change, and we had the hippie culture, and people were in the far out, man.
Let's do that.
A friend of mine, a good friend of mine, hitchhiked.
Remember hitchhiking?
Remember hitchhiking?
We used to hitchhike all the time.
Oh, I used to give rides to hitchhikers.
Until I got sexually assaulted.
Well, not really assaulted, but...
So, a friend of mine actually hitchhiked coast to coast.
Back when it was just cool.
Yeah.
He made it.
It was the American way.
It was the American summer dream.
Sharing.
It was sharing.
Ride sharing.
It was ride sharing.
We're a very sharing country.
We share.
We like to share.
And the keeper and I, we were realizing last night, We are living truly in the simulation.
And what I mean by that is, I think she was listening to the Victor Davis Hanson podcast, which, you know, I love Tina for this.
She gets all this, soaks up all that stuff.
I didn't have a time to clip anything because he's not really that clippable, at least in any reasonable time frame.
And there was some other articles she was talking about where you have the librarian people.
So this is the whole middle class.
You and I are a part of that.
And it's, you know, the educated, the scholars, the professional business class, a lot of them very left-leaning.
And then you have what's classified as the boat people.
And this is, you know, small business.
The people who have a boat who could participate in the Trump boat trains.
And it's a lot of people.
And they're all struggling.
These are elites, really.
There's too much of us.
And so this is why the cancel culture is kicking people out of this relatively small business.
And it may only be 5 or 10 million people, tops, tops, tops, who are on Twitter and this non-stop spin cycle because it goes from Twitter through the cable news and the cable news talks about the way the other cable news talked about it and they go back and someone's calling someone out and then, oh, someone got the platform!
Wow!
And it's become a simulation that we enjoy living in, particularly when we can see other people getting taken down.
It's become a reality show, no better proven than in this clip that one of our producers sent to me of MTV's, I think it's called Ghosted, And this is a reality show.
I've never seen it.
I think I've heard about it.
And it's kind of like a bachelor friend show, but you can be, if someone ghosts you, you know, then basically they're not answering your texts, they're not answering your emails, as if you don't exist.
And this is now entertainment on MTV, my alma mater.
Thank you, MTV. Where cancel culture is now being positioned, and it's all this part of it which we have to get our heads out of from time to time.
I like marijuana.
It's become a full-on game show.
I should have set up a little better.
So there's two girls sitting across from each other, a black girl and a white girl.
And the black girl is so-called black, so-called white.
The black, who turns out she's not ADOS, but she's from Jamaica.
But she is going to tell the white girl why she ghosted her, i.e.
kicking her off the show.
I ghosted you because they're supporting Trump.
When I saw these posts before you deleted them.
What's that photo of?
Whitney posted about the inauguration and seemed like you were very enthusiastic about it.
There were posts on Whitney's page from the inauguration.
On this one it says, Trump's inauguration was empty.
And then it's a photo of it clearly not being empty.
In posting that, you are showing support.
And it really just broke my heart.
I didn't want to make you feel like you had to believe a certain thing in order to be my friend.
How do I explain all of the experiences of my life and my family's life and say, please don't support him for this reason or that reason.
I couldn't.
It was like trying to explain my whole life.
My mom's from Jamaica.
My dad's from St.
Kitts.
Those are two of the countries that he was talking such horrible things about.
I could never support that, and I could never stand by and watch someone who I love so, so much support that.
And that's why I want you to listen to the white girl's response.
First of all, I want to say thank you for finally telling me.
Second of all, I want to say I'm honestly kind of shocked that that was the reason.
I was not expecting that at all.
I'm kind of mad because this is why ghosting is so messed up.
If you had texted me and said, what's up with the Trump stuff?
I would text you back and I would tell you, I don't like him.
My family built a steel company and some of the economic stuff helps small steel companies in fricking Utica, New York.
Yeah, that didn't matter.
But you see, that's the struggle that's going on.
And we're stuck in this media machine.
And if you just turn it off, I would recommend the Zen TV Experiment.
I've been recommending it for almost as long as we've been doing the show.
The Zen TV Experiment.
You can search it.
It's always the top.
And you'll understand what television is doing to you and you're smart enough to understand how it interacts with social media.
And it's a drug.
And people are hooked on it.
And they love it.
We've heard this from our millennials.
That they love it.
They love The Bachelor.
It's fantastic.
It is a sick, sick, sick drug.
And it's okay.
Go play all you want.
But it remains entertainment.
And everything else is bullshit.
Policy really matters.
We'll see.
Muslim terrorists that Biden brought back.
Build back better, Joe.
That's bad.
All this other stuff is meaningless.
This is why that guy wrote that note.
Just listen to yourself.
Hating on the TV and these good, solid American shows showing how people feel.
It's just a negative Nelly.
I said it earlier.
I'll say it again.
For a better life, beyond your freedom, build back better for someone else.
We got a full jingle package.
Now you have a, I do have a clip that I wanted to play.
This is from Courtney Chase, one of our producers, and her three-year-old Daphne, who somehow picked up along the way the pronunciation of the president's name as Bo Jiden.
And all she does is talk about Bo Jiden.
Here's a little clip of Daphne.
I love this.
Bo Giant says to wear both masks.
How many masks?
Two masks.
Who says that?
Uh, Bo Giant.
Aww.
So cute.
Bo Giant says you have to wear both masks.
You need to get Theodorable, man.
How's he doing?
Oh, we're getting there.
He's almost at the point now where he can produce some material.
He's got just the right voice.
Of course he does.
I'm sure he does douchebag really well, doesn't he?
He's got the douchebag pretty much well when he wants to say it.
Oh, just a 40-second clip.
Actually, I should have played this.
This is happening.
People are stepping away from the drug.
They are stepping away from the madness.
And it's because Trump is gone.
And me too.
I'm also like, okay, I'm a little more relaxed.
Former President Trump's exit from the White House coincided with a slump in ratings for cable news channels and digital news sites.
According to a Washington Post analysis, data from media tracking firm Comscores, as well as the Nielsen Company, indicated drops in traffic across websites for the Post, which lost roughly one-fourth of its monthly web traffic, as well as the New York Times, which lost roughly 17% of its traffic over January and February.
In the cable news rating wars, CNN lost 50% of its primetime audience over the first few months of 2020, according to the Post, while MSNBC lost more than a fourth, and Fox News lost just 6%.
Yeah, of course.
It's annoying.
No one wants to hear it anymore.
That's my go-to, man.
MSNBC. All day long.
Domestic violent...
What did I hear?
MRDVEs is now the latest term.
It's crazy.
Land?
Like...
Oh, shoot.
I have to look it up.
It's in the show notes.
I mean, they're just going nuts.
Here it is.
Under the purge is where I put that kind of stuff.
Oh yeah, this was from the Director of National Intelligence.
Classification of DVEs.
I'm not going to read the whole thing, but you have RMVEs, which are racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.
And MVEs, which is militia violent extremists, then you have the most lethal, they present the most lethal DVE threats, with the RMVEs most likely to conduct mass casualty attacks against civilians.
And by the way, they're looking at knocking on your door to see if, you know, a red flag or something.
Oh, here we go.
RMVEs.
They are DVEs with ideological agendas derived from bias, often related to race or ethnicity.
Well, that's MSNBC. Held by the actor, MSNBC, against others, including a given population group.
Now, we also have animal rights, environmental violent extremists, the so-called AREVEs.
Oh, my God.
We have abortion-related violent extremists, also known as Christians.
We have...
It doesn't say that.
We have anti-government, anti-authority violent extremists, also known as podcasters.
Sovereign citizen violent extremists, the SCVE. Or you can be an AVE. Oh my goodness, an anarchist violent extremist.
This is an actual document.
Anything to get more budget.
Yeah, you're right on that, man.
Hey, do you want to...
Do you want to take...
Oh, sorry.
No, I was going to ask if you wanted to hear about the 12 most racist and offensive phrases that people still use in the workplace from Business Insider.
You're going to read racist phrases?
You know what, if you worked for the New York Times and you did this, reading, quoting, you'd be out.
No, but I'm a Freibouter.
That's true.
Okay, go.
Okay, uppity.
Well, we knew uppity wouldn't work anymore.
Uppity is, that's no good, because that's totally racist.
That's from the 40s or 30s.
You can't say uppity.
Peanut gallery.
Peanut gallery?
What's wrong with peanut gallery?
In reality, quoting Business Insider, the peanut gallery names a section in theaters, usually the cheapest and worst, where many black people sat during the era of vaudeville.
I'd like to see that documented, because my understanding of the peanut gallery all came from Howdy Doody.
He had a peanut gallery.
Well, Howdy Doody was clearly racist.
Well, it's possible, looking back on it, it might be true.
Uh, gyp, but I think you and I... But wait, peanut, okay, okay.
I'll give the peanut gallery.
That's interesting.
But that's not what it means when you use it.
You mean it just a...
Well, okay.
I'm just telling you what Business Insider says.
Which is one of the most globalist pieces of crap published.
Gyp, you know, we say I got gypped on that.
Well, we know that that is...
Oh, they've been bitching about this forever.
It's a good term.
Paddy wagons.
Now what?
Patty originated...
That may be a show opener.
Holy crap.
You got me with that one.
It was an original.
It originated in the late 1700s as a shortened form of Patrick and then later a pejorative term for Irishman.
Wagon usually refers to a vehicle.
Paddy wagon either stemmed from the large number of Irish police officers or the perception that rowdy, drunken Irishmen constantly ended up in the back of police cars.
Well, make up your minds.
If it was the Irish that named it a paddy wagon, they're Irish cops and Irish drunks?
I mean, okay, I'm not going to...
What else are you going to call it?
Next on the list.
Bugger.
Bugger?
Bugger.
When you call someone a bugger, you are accusing them of being a sodomite, at least according to the original meaning.
Buggery lurks.
Buggery.
The term stemmed from bogomils who led religious sects during the Middle Ages called Bulgaris.
Through various languages, the term morphed into bugger.
Many considered the bogomils heretical, and thus, they said, approached sex in an inverse way.
I think these days, bugger is a compliment, isn't it?
I mean, don't you get all kinds of anal sex education when you're a six?
Hey, bugger?
I don't know who this offends.
Hooligan!
Also not okay.
Since when?
Since Business Insider says it.
Again, it's an anti-Irish thing.
Oh.
But how about this?
Eskimo.
What?
Eskimo.
You can't use Eskimo anymore?
Nope.
Nope.
Eskimo comes from the same Danish word borrowed from Algonquin, Ashkimec, which literally means eaters of raw meat.
Ha ha!
So what?
That's what the Japanese do.
We eat sushi.
What's the difference?
I love raw beef, by the way, if you can get it safe.
Tartare?
In Holland, the Filet Americanne?
So good.
Other etymological research suggests it could mean snowshoe netter.
Either way, when we refer to an entire group of people by their perceived behaviors, we trivialize their existence and culture.
Let's start using the proper term, like?
Inuit.
How do they keep using white males, then?
That should be banned.
Sold down the river.
It's not okay.
That's racist.
It's racist.
Modern usage is not racist.
NPR reports that during slavery in the U.S. We know what it means.
I didn't know this.
Oh yeah, the slaves that really were acting up and giving the owners a bad time...
We're uppity, John.
When the slaves were uppity...
They'd sell them down the river.
Which meant they were sent to plantations in Mississippi, it says here.
Yeah, Mississippi, Florida.
Any place south of, way down there, where they were...
No one wanted to go there because it was too far away from the mic's escape.
I should have ripped the bong.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
Totally racist.
Well, if you follow it up, yeah.
Yeah.
Hip, hip, hooray is anti-Semitic.
Oh, please.
Anti-Semitic.
What?
Yes, because hooray conveys as much merriment as the full version.
Huzzah!
It's now racist.
How is huzzah racist?
I don't know.
As you said, it's a piece of crap publication.
I'm kind of sorry I brought it up now.
Yeah, I am too.
But it shows the mania that we have there.
Wait, wait.
I got one last one.
This is from a producer.
Anonymous.
I work for a County Auditor's Office, I'm omitting the state.
I manage all of the GIS mapping for appraisal work, but our office also prepares the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the country's finances each year, also known as the CAFR. It's an acronym, Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
And he forwarded me a copy from his boss.
Could you please change the word CAFR to Comprehensive Annual Financial Report on the homepage?
Believe it or not, there's an issue where some people consider the term CAFR to be offensive as it is pronounced the same as kafir.
Kafir.
Insulting term for Black African Offensive South African.
So now we're pronouncing acronyms and it sounds like, so C-A-F-R sounds like the same as K-A-F-F-I-R. Therefore, it had to be changed.
The worst.
Off the deep end.
These people should be ashamed of themselves for promoting this way of looking at life.
They're not.
Okay.
They're not.
Well, I have a funny clip now.
Which I just picked up.
I found it on somebody's feed.
And I had to say I had to play it because it's too good.
And this is just the opposite of what you just did, because it probably puts the white announcer into a bad light.
But this was during the Super Bowl, our last Super Bowl we had, a month or so ago.
And I believe this was the radio feed, because during the middle of the game, a streaker, which is something we don't talk about much on this show, but it used to be very popular in the 70s, these people would go run around naked.
But in this case, a guy's got his clothes on, he's running around the field, and this is always, it disrupts the football game, it causes nothing but trouble.
And so they don't like to even show it on the TV, so you don't get to see much of this, because they'll cut away, because it encouraged this behavior.
So let's play the play-by-play of the Super Bowl streaker.
...down 20, 5-0-3 to go, someone has run on the field, some guy with a brawl.
And now he's not being chased.
He's running down the middle to 40.
Arms in the air and a victory salute.
He's pulling down his pants!
Put up your pants, my man!
Pull up those pants!
He's being chased to the 30.
He breaks a tackle from a security guard.
The 20.
Down the middle, the 10.
The 5.
He slides at the 1.
And they converge on him at the goal line.
Pull up your pants!
Take off the bra and be a man!
And the players with hands on hips at the other end of the field are looking at them and shaking their head and saying, why oh why is this taking place in a Super Bowl?
What's interesting is that we played that.
Well, it's possible.
But every time I listened to it, I realized that that was the most exciting thing that happened.
The whole Super Bowl.
And they didn't show it, which is the funniest.
The best things never make it on TV. I think I've said this many times.
Yeah, that's one of your theories.
It never makes it on TV. Ever.
It has to be controlled.
Yes.
What else?
Do you have any other packets?
I've got some other things.
Let's do some ISO showdown.
Oh, yes.
I come equipped today.
Hold on a second.
I'm going to lose then.
I am equipped.
I've got two.
Okay.
I've only got the pull up your pants ISO. Hold on a second.
And I think we even ISO'd that before.
Well, there it is again.
There it is.
Hold on a second.
That's interesting.
When was it?
It was...
Show 1325.
February 28th.
Okay, so here's yours.
The Pull Up Your Pants ISO. Put up your pants, my man!
I think...
We might have even used it.
I don't know.
I doubt it.
Now, let's try this one.
This is the second one.
Suspicious.
Suspicious.
But I'm getting suspicious!
Oh, no.
I got you so beat.
I got you so beat.
Okay, I got a whole bunch.
I'll just play them.
Boom shakalaka!
I like that one.
Here's Dershowitz.
Nipples are okay.
Kind of like that.
Here's one of you.
You'll love it.
You want it for Christmas.
Then we have this.
Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud.
I kind of like that one.
Okay.
One of those.
Wow.
That's pretty good, right?
You were on a roll for ISOs today.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think the nipples one is, I think, is the funniest.
Yeah, it is.
It's not the most enunciated.
Maybe I can jack it up a little bit here.
Let me see.
Let me jack you up, son.
Let's see.
Nipples are okay.
Yeah, now it sounds good.
Yeah, that's a no agenda end of show ISO. There's no doubt about it.
I think you called it.
I like the other ones, too.
Any one of them could have been a winner.
Also, I wanted to say that we have two end-of-show mixes, Jesse Coy Nelson, but also Secret Agent Paul with a full song.
From what?
It's called Crazy Biden.
Secret Agent Paul is one of our professionals.
Oh, he can crank this stuff out.
Well, he's in Australia, I think.
He only does it once in a while, but when he comes through...
You get the best that way.
I mean, it's a full-on production.
It's not just something slapped together at all.
That's good.
Now, maybe...
That's just more...
I don't want to do...
Spring break stuff.
Who cares?
I have one more.
I have the Mike Lindell rant.
That's no good.
What is the Mike Lindell from the MyPillow?
The pillow guy, yeah.
What's his rant about?
His rant about Fox.
He thinks Fox is chicken shit.
That they won't talk about the rigged election.
It's only 23 seconds.
Let's listen to Mike Lindell.
I want to say one thing there.
Here's things that don't make sense, everybody.
Let's just talk about Fox.
You're already sued.
It's too late to close the gate.
The cows are out of the barn.
Why can't people go on there and say they're free speech then?
You're already sued, Fox.
What do you have?
What, are you going to get double sued?
What's the matter with you?
And I will say that straight out.
It makes me...
I'm so...
You know, what are they in on?
I don't get it.
Is it a fake lawsuit?
You know?
Now, this is actually worth discussing.
I said actually.
I'm saying it too much.
This is worth discussing because...
Yeah, you are saying that.
Yeah, I'm trying to stop it.
Sidney Powell filed a motion to dismiss...
Dominion's lawsuit against her.
And this is relevant to Mike Lindell, who is also being sued.
And let me just get this clip here.
And so what she filed has been turned in the press into the following.
Oh, Sidney Powell acknowledges the big election, the big lie about the election was just that, a big lie.
Because in response to Dominion's defamation lawsuit, Powell's lawyers say reasonable people wouldn't buy her claims.
And this is how CNN reported Jake Tapper.
In our politics lead, she was one of the most prominent voices pushing the big lie on behalf of Donald Trump.
But now, right-wing lawyer Sidney Powell is admitting that the big lie was, well, a big lie.
Using the old, you-weren't-supposed-to-actually-believe-me defense, previously deployed by Fox News, in the face of a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting System.
CNN's Sarah Murray joins me now to discuss...
Powell is basically claiming these claims were political theater.
But she filed them in court, Sarah.
That's right, Jake.
And you know, you point out former President Donald Trump really elevated her profile.
She was known for peddling these kind of right-wing fringe conspiracy theories.
But he elevated her by bringing her into his legal team.
And she was one of those voices we saw out there peddling these unsubstantiated claims about election fraud.
So now in a new court filing, her attorneys are arguing these were just her opinions, that it was up to the public to form their own opinion about whether votes were actually changed by these election machines.
And one of the lines in this court filing, her attorneys say, no reasonable person would conclude that the statements were truly statements of fact.
Now, of course, Jake, that's not how the former president, his legal team, Sidney Powell, even when she was distanced from the former president, represented this, this, They went out and told the American public that this was definitively what was happening.
And this is a fantastic...
Fantastic moment to deconstruct the media.
They have taken a lawsuit which deals with tort law.
Lies.
Oh, yeah.
Well, no, that line is in there, but I'll just read the summary.
No, no, I'm not talking about that line.
I'm talking about the way they read it.
They're turning it into a lie.
Well, let me just read the table of contents so you understand what this lawsuit is about.
Court lacks personal jurisdiction over defendants.
Plaintiffs do not allege, nor does the court possess general jurisdiction.
No basis, failed to establish.
And here we go.
Venue is improper.
Complaint fails to state a claim.
And then the statement alleged in complaint are constitutionally protected and not actionable.
The challenged statements relate to matters of public concern.
Dominion is a public figure.
The statements at issue are protected, not actionable.
Plaintiffs cannot show the statements at issue were made with malice.
So this is a tort lawsuit which she's answering completely correctly.
But what it's turned into is they've taken one line, and of course, you can't sue someone for defamation if you really believe something's true, and you're trying to prove it.
So this is about, is it defamation or not?
And they take this one line, and the headline, and I've gotten hate mail.
You asshole!
Don't you see?
See?
She was lying!
Did you know it was a lie?
It was a lie!
You bought it!
Hook, line, and sinker!
Go to visit Alex Jones and bleh!
That's not the voice I prefer for that guy.
Okay, well, I'll work on him.
I like the gravelier voice.
Okay.
So also hurts your throat.
It does, yeah.
So Vox...
Yeah, they repeat this all over everywhere, and they've turned it into, oh, Sidney Powell was just lying.
Trump was lying.
She was just doing it to be a public figure.
And it's just a court filing that is explaining her case.
Like, how can you claim defamation when it's so crazy and out there?
I wasn't trying to defame you.
No reasonable person would think that that was going to defame you.
Although I would.
But it's legalese.
I get it.
It's just interesting how the media picked that up and turned it into that.
And people are believing it.
You're headline readers.
You're headline.
Worse.
You're people who read the headline the person on Twitter put when they posted the headline.
Get out of the machine.
I don't know.
There's nothing you can do about it.
What we do on this show is look for this sort of thing.
Yeah, exactly.
I just thought that was fantastic.
I'm sorry that guy wrote your note saying you took it hook, line, and sinker.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Ah, well, who cares?
You would have said pagenic, maybe.
I have a quick two-parter from China, which was just insightful, from the same anti-constitutionalist Fareed Zakaria.
Well, it's interesting to listen to what the true douchebag elites think, or at least what they're communicating.
Here he is on China versus the USA in general.
Welcome to the new age of bloated Pentagon budgets, all to be justified by the great Chinese threat.
The United States has nearly 20 times the number of nuclear warheads as China.
It has twice the tonnage of warships at sea, including 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers compared with China's two carriers, which are much less advanced.
Washington has over 2,000 modern fighter jets compared to Beijing's roughly 600.
And the U.S. deploys this power using a vast network of some 800 overseas bases.
China has three.
China spends about $250 billion on its military, which is a third as much as the United States.
Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution notes that if China were in NATO, we would berate it for inadequate burden sharing since its military outlays fall well below NATO's 2% minimum.
So, I guess the message is...
No big deal.
No big deal.
Man, those guys, our Secretary of State and the DNI, In hindsight, when they went to Alaska, I'm thinking maybe they were like, you know what?
It'll be tough on China.
We'll show everybody.
Let's show them we're tough.
We're tough guys.
They came in as tough guys and they got their asses beat.
This is NPR's interpretation of what's going on with our relationship with China.
And it's nonsense.
What's actually happened, I'm going to give away the clip.
This is the Blinken clip.
It should be up at the top.
They're saying, oh, well now they've got a regular Joe in there like Blinken.
He's doing everything different.
And they're going to be much better and they're going to do a better job of everything.
Because we're doing foreign policy better.
Because it's not Trump and that guy Pompeo.
And then if you listen carefully to the clip, they've changed nothing.
But they tell you they changed something.
Now listen to this clip.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken has met European Union leaders after spending most of two days consulting with NATO allies.
Terry Schultz reports one of Blinken's top aims is to convince European governments to scale back their ties with China.
Secretary Blinken is taking a much different approach to Europe's relationship with China than his predecessor Mike Pompeo did.
Speaking at NATO, Blinken said the US would not issue ultimatums about choosing a side and understands its European allies have complex relationships with Beijing.
But he urged them to think twice about partnering with China.
It is actively working to undercut the rules of the international system and the values we and our allies share.
After a meeting with EU foreign policy chief Joseph Burrell, the two announced they will restart an initiative originally agreed to by Pompeo to hold regular high-level talks aimed at coordinating China policy.
It's all show.
These guys are so full of crap.
Why do they have to do this?
Why don't they just go on their merry way and report what's happening?
Why do they have to put these little jabs and, oh, we're going to do it different than that guy, but we're going to do what he did?
It's transparently bogus.
It's very annoying to me.
It's hard to believe, but the mainstream media, M5M, is corrupted.
And it happens in so many different ways.
And I'm not giving NPR a lot of credit.
I think they're just headline readers.
Here's Zakaria on the F-35 versus Belt and Road.
Now that's an interesting topic to me.
Which one is kicking ass?
Consider two contrasting exercises of power.
America's F-35 fighter jet program, bedeviled by cost overruns and technical problems, will ultimately cost taxpayers $1.7 trillion, according to a document obtained by Bloomberg.
China will likely spend a comparable amount of money on its Belt and Road Initiative, an ambitious set of loans, aid and financing for infrastructure projects across the world aimed at creating greater interdependence with dozens of countries that are important to Beijing.
Which do you think is money better spent?
Oh, turning everything else into Africa.
Yeah, I think that's much better spent.
What is he talking about?
This is a false equivalency to the highest order.
It's degrowthism.
Can you believe that guy?
That guy is shameless.
Yeah, but that's counsel on foreign relations.
They're shameless.
Their whole operation is really out of control.
Make sure, everyone, that you watch the coverage of the giant cargo ship stuck in the Suez Canal because you will hear the stupidest things like, well, couldn't they just unload them?
Couldn't we just unload the containers, let the air out of the tires or something?
Do you know how many ships go through the canal every day?
50 ships.
And this is oil prices can spike from this?
Well, a lot of the oil tankers are small enough they can go through the alternate canal.
There's two of them.
Oh, okay.
And that's the big giant one that specifically was designed for these sorts of boats.
Monster, mega-tonnage, massive boats with cargo containers on them.
And it's really unfortunate that this happened.
Yeah, well, you never know.
By the way, this is not going to be fixed in a week.
No, there's a story from...
Who wrote this story?
They can't get tugs in there.
I don't know what they're going to do.
I'm going to give this to the trolls.
They've got to see this.
They won't believe this shit.
There's a story in...
Let me see if I can paste this.
There's a story in Vice.
Hold on.
Take a look at this, trolls.
There's a story in Vice that the cargo ship, before it got stuck in the Suez Canal, they looked at the data points, the GPS data points, or the transponder in this case, and it's a giant dick with balls being shoved into a butt.
I swear to God.
Oh, yeah.
This is comic strip blogger again.
No, this is Vice.
Oh.
A cargo ship drew a giant dick pic in the ocean, then got stuck in the Suez Canal.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
Okay.
Well, when you see it, you'll go, oh, wow.
I'll check it out.
I'll see if there's anything like that.
Check out the giant dick.
This is a disaster of the highest order.
It is.
Thank you.
That's what people don't realize.
It is a disaster.
Oh, it's a huge disaster.
Anyone ever watched Rubicon?
They realize it.
That's right.
Go back and watch that.
Because this...
What do you think we're going to see at first?
There's going to be an increase in some commodities.
There's going to be a shortage of something that's not getting through the canal.
It needs to go to Europe.
I don't know which direction it was headed.
Could this be sabotage?
I think so.
Who would be sabotaging?
The Chinese?
It'll come out in the wash.
We don't know.
It would be the Chinese, but why not?
The problem is Evergreen is a Taiwanese company, so there may be something that may have something to do with it.
Evergreen, one of the largest shipping companies in the world.
Shit, that's burying the lead.
Well, how come China isn't out there yelling?
See?
We should take over them.
They're not running things right.
Maybe that'll come.
Maybe that's part of it.
It should be noted that Evergreen is a massive shipping company and it's Taiwanese.
They may be part run out of China nowadays because everything else is, but it's Taiwan.
In fact, Evergreen was the company that first really started pumping out...
Chinese stuff to the United States.
Isn't that weird?
So Evergreen is a Taiwanese company who ships all the Chinese product, and yet China is pissed?
And what is the problem?
I don't know.
I don't know what to do.
Again, this will come out in the wash.
We have no idea.
We have to start looking into it.
There will be some blogger or some podcaster who will...
Ah, one of those domestic violent extremists.
I'm gonna show myself old by donating to no agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
Yeah, on no agenda.
We do have a few people to thank for show, and this is show 1322, as I recall.
And we start with Jeff Stone Grabber in West Seneca, New York, and he comes in with 122.50 and he has a birthday call out.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm getting set up for everything.
Andrew Christensen in Montgomery, Texas needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
That's his smoking hot wife, Gretchen, who got that dedouching.
Montgomery Taylor, $118.14, anonymous, $108.00.
Ian Field in Eastleigh, North...
I'm sorry, Eastleigh, Hampshire, UK, $100.00.
Michael Gaston in Pittsburgh, New York, $100.00.
Baronet Surlineman of the Net, 81-18 in Anna, Illinois.
Comes in almost every show.
Brian Klimczak in Napierville, Illinois.
You know why he comes in every show?
He's trying to get the meme started.
81-18, he calls the Governor Cuomo pierced nipple donation.
Which is cute.
Oh, that's right.
I forgot all about Governor Cuomo's pierced nipples.
Now, that's something for the owner.
Brian Klimczak in Naperville, I said already, is 75.
Sir Dodger of Panhandle in Pensacola, Florida.
Obviously, in the Panhandle.
He's got a birthday, 69, 69.

And now we got the $50 donors.
This is a very short list, people, so hopefully we can pick it up for Sunday.
Kevin Silverman in Severn, Maryland.
Christopher Kniha, I think, in Washington, Pennsylvania.
Christopher Kniha, he requests karma for his doomed marriage.
Yeah, we'll have to give you that at the end.
It's a terrible thing to request karma for.
I feel bad about it.
Probably has a wife that hates the show.
She's the one who wrote that note earlier.
Alexa Delgado in Aptos, California.
Sir Patrick Maycomb in New York City.
Todd Grubb in Capac, Michigan.
Or CAPAC. I don't know.
C-A-P-A-C. And last, Jesus Allen in Austin, Texas, $50 donor.
We want to thank all these folks for helping get the show 1332 off the ground.
Yes, appreciate that.
And also all of the donations that come in under $50.
It's an anonymous cutoff for us for the show, but we do have a lot of people who are on the multiple subscription options.
These are sustaining donations.
They do help a lot on the more meager days.
At least we have some base.
And there's plenty of choice you can choose from.
Please go to Dvorak.org slash NA and take a look for yourself.
And thank you very much for producing episode 1332 of the best podcast in the universe.
Here's the doomed marriage karma.
You've got karma.
All right.
Now go donate.
Dvorak.org slash NA. All right, today, well, it is the 25th of March, 2021.

It's the No Agenda Meetups, where you go meet real people in the real world.
And exchange ideas.

Different color, creed, background, religion.
It's fantastic.
They are the No Agenda Meetups.

Very good, Pittsburgh.
We're going to have to have an award of this pretty soon.

If there's not one near you, then...
You should be starting it.
Go ahead, noagendameetups.com.
It's like a party.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want me.
Triggered or held lame.
You want to be where everybody feels the same.
It's like a party.
Yeah.
Hey, you know what's gone?
I'm kind of sad about.
No.
So we have this pew pew thing, right?
That we all love so much.
Now you remember where that came from?
Yeah, that came from the Norse Corporation, who had that map.
Yeah, who had that map.
Well, the company is no more.
They folded.
All they left was the pew-pew.
That's all that's left.
That's all that's left of your money, VC. Thank you for playing.
Wow.
Pew-pew is pew-pew gone.
I do have a correction from one of our retired police officers who says he wanted to weigh in on the story from 1330 regarding civilian response to service calls, which we poo-pooed.
What did we do?
Well, you know, they were training people to go help civilians instead of sending cops.
Which is part of the defund the police movement.
I thought they were doing that in Seattle or Portland.
Yeah.
Well, he says, you know, I'll read it.
You and John commented this was a horrible idea to have civilians respond to robberies.
First, that new group of civilians won't respond to robberies.
This is bullcrap, he says.
They said it was to take reports for things like abandoned vehicles and cold burglaries.
This is something that's existed for decades in many police departments across the country.
Typically they're called CSOs, community service officers, and they are report takers.
That's all they do.
Any crime of violence or with known suspect is routed to a real police officer.
Departments that use this model do so to save money by essentially sending a lower paid level employee to handle calls that don't require an officer to go.
This story is a classic case of rebranding to sound woke and has nothing to do with the so-called mental health of social workers.
That story was simply a way to virtue signal about the city's cost-cutting measures.
I think we've been taken in.
I believe so.
Both line and sinker.
Once again.
No wonder.
Luckily we have our producers to bail us out, which is what most podcasts don't have.
You nailed it, my friend.
You nailed it right there.
I've got a clip.
What?
Just to keep us up with the news.
Oh, yes.
I didn't know this was going on.
Mm-hmm.
Men in trees, the protest has been going on for two years.
You know, these guys have been up in the trees and they're protesting.
For more than two years, protesters have been trying to block the construction of a natural gas pipeline through Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.
Well, that fight came to an end today.
A court order authorized the use of force, and police went up in a crane to remove the last protester who'd attached themselves to a tree.
Robbie Harris of member station WVTF in Blacksburg reports.
All through the winter and the one before that, they stood their ground, an array of protesters sitting in trees rotating in and out for months at a time, trying to stop the Mountain Valley pipeline.
They occupied a steep section of forest in the pipeline's path, living on platforms high in the canopy.
They had a negotiator here earlier with a bullhorn trying to negotiate us out of the trees.
That's a protester who goes by the name Acre, who wouldn't give their real name because of possible legal consequences of the protest.
They're going to have to take us out of these trees.
This week, law enforcement did just that.
Yesterday, they extracted one of the two remaining protesters using a crane.
And today, they came for Acre, the last protester, who'd been live-streaming the action from their perch in the tree.
And here comes a very, very slow extraction.
All right, I might have to go.
Everything's a TV show now.
Everything.
Hey, hey guys!
Hey guys!
This guy's active shooter!
Active shooter!
Hey guys, I'm in the tree!
Hey guys, I'm on doing a podcast!
Hi guys!
Everything's a TV show.
Yeah, the guy's live streaming the fact that he's up in a tree.
I'm an idiot.
Hey, Molly Wood does Marketplace for NPR. Molly Wood.
We both know Molly Wood quite well.
Molly.
Good old Molly.
And she had this little ditty about privacy.
Regarding the type of HIPAA-protected information, I might add, that you will be giving up to function according to the laws and beliefs that people like Molly have.
Increasingly, we're all going to be asked for these data points that will very likely be housed at a national level, whether that's a COVID vaccine passport of some kind or a record of who you've interacted with and where you've been.
And I think that's pretty concerning.
I remember you said, I mean, that's what you told us.
As you said, I think this will lead to the end of privacy.
And it has.
If you take nothing away from this conversation, just know that privacy is dead.
Now, that sounds apocalyptic and horrible.
And it kind of is.
I watch a lot of comic book movies, so resurrection is possible, I hope.
Yeah, I mean, here's the thing.
There's no going back.
There is no going back.
Privacy is dead.
So let's acknowledge that.
Let's acknowledge it and figure out a better way to move forward.
The problem is that we are not publicly acknowledging it.
We are just pressing on and hoping nothing goes wrong.
Amy Webb is a futurist and founder of the Future Today Institute.
Thanks so much for talking with me.
Thank you.
Privacy is dead!
Thanks so much for talking with me.
That's unbelievable.
So we just give up now?
That's the message?
That's the official message?
Give up?
It's crazy.
Give up?
Give up?
What, don't you want to be safe?
Don't you want to be safe?
Don't you want to be safe?
Safe.
Safety versus private.
Safe.
I have one last clip.
All right.
And this is the clip that seems problematic, if you ask me.
Problematic is an outlawed term here.
Okay, well, that's problematic in itself.
But this is the equal.
We just passed this last week.
We passed equal payday.
Oh, I missed that.
Yeah, you know what it means, right?
This is the day that the extra month or two a woman has to work to make the same amount as a man.
Oh.
But I think there's a problem with this.
Listen to this clip carefully and tell me that my concerns are not justified with the logic of this.
This is equal pay day NPR. NPR's Windsor Johnson reports today's date symbolizes how far into the year women have to work to earn the same as men did the previous year.
At an event with members of the U.S. women's soccer team, President Biden said the pay gap between men and women is real in almost every profession.
82 cents on the dollar on average.
For AAPI women, it's 87 cents for every dollar a white man earns.
For black women, it's 63 cents.
For Native American women, it's 60 cents.
The U.S. women's soccer team filed a lawsuit against the sport last year alleging discrimination on the basis of sex by denying them the same working conditions, including pay, as their male counterparts.
Fans backed them up, shouting equal pay during the World Cup final match, which the U.S. women won.
Oh, you might as well tell me, because I agree with you.
Problematic.
Well, here's the deal.
Why, if it's a woman, oh, women don't get paid.
How come certain women get paid more than certain other women?
If it's just about women, if it's just women, how come the AAPI, I don't know where that term comes from.
African American Pacific Islanders.
I know what it means.
I'm just a little annoyed by it.
Hello.
But why do these women, the Asian American, not African, Asian American Pacific Islanders.
Sorry, Asian American, you're right.
Why do they get paid more per year, 87 cents on the dollar, than the white women?
I know.
I know why.
I know why.
Go ahead.
And then you have your African Americans, Hispanic, and then the poor Native Americans, they get nothing.
And if it's a woman's issue, why are all these, why is it categorized by race?
And why does one race, the Asians, make more money than anybody else?
I mean, this doesn't, it doesn't make sense.
You either have to be about women, it's got to be about women, or it's got to be about race and women combined.
It's not intersectional, like they like to say, is it?
Or is it?
Well, the logical conclusion that this may be driving towards, and I had not heard this, I do like this a lot, with the breakdown of panties, which I'm sure is science, this can only mean that the white man is discriminating based upon women and the color of their skin, and we all know the Asian women love you long time.
So that's where it's going.
White men are so horrible.
Not only do they discriminate against women, they discriminate discriminately.
I have a feeling that that's where this could go.
It could.
It's got to go somewhere because you can't start breaking it down like this and let it slide.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I like that.
Let's keep our eye on that one.
That's a term, that's something that could pop back a couple times.
And that's what we do here.
We protect your amygdala, your sanity, and by extension, your family and your pocketbook.
If you found this valuable at all, please show your love by contributing some value back.

And if he falls on his way up to his plane, well, you really shouldn't care.
Joe could say what he wanna, even words you shouldn't say.
Because if he said it, it don't matter, it's a messy verbal splatter, he won't remember anyway.
Look, the range of challenges Europe and the United States must take on together is broad and complex.
I'm eager to hear nigger here next from my good friends and outstanding leaders.
