	I'll tell you what, I'm gonna go do that by gum.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, May 6, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1344.
	This is No Agenda.
	Still hesitant and broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
	In the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where it's cold and dreary.
	Oh, not quite dark yet.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	Well, now, we did give you guys the stick a couple shows ago.
	Is it raining or is it just cold and dreary?
	It's foggy.
	You got the rain you needed, though, did you not?
	Foggy and windy, which is the worst.
	But California got what they needed, the rain?
	No.
	What?!
	It took more than a half shake.
	But then it was wrecking to have it.
	The back end of the stick just killed Texas, man.
	The hail size?
	Six inches.
	Hail.
	Yeah, but that's pretty fluffy hail.
	It's not a solid rock of ice.
	Well, okay.
	I did not test it out, so I'm not sure.
	You got to check it.
	If it was a solid six-inch blocker, I mean, there have been big, like, softball-sized two, three-inch solid blocks of ice, and those are the ones that dent the cars.
	Right, right.
	Well, there was a lot of damage, a lot of damage in South Texas.
	Well, maybe there was some ice in there.
	It doesn't take much.
	But reminding me of my IKEA lamp.
	Which is, which I really, it's just the plastic on this outside of this lamp is so cheesy that it's crumbling.
	It's literally crumbling like a dried up icing on a cake.
	It's what it's like.
	Exactly what it's like.
	You can grab it and pull off little pieces and then you can crunch it in your fingers and make a powder.
	Wow, okay.
	What kind of plastic is this?
	Is it made in Sheena?
	Before we start, I did the morning check of the three networks.
	That's right, ladies and gentlemen.
	Three by three.
	What is going on?
	This is an eyewitness report.
	John, what are you learning?
	Well, first, we've got three networks, and let's go with one of them.
	NBC. Do I flip it on?
	This is just a quick sampling of what they're doing on those morning shows.
	NBC is celebrating nurses.
	Well, nurses should always be celebrated.
	So they're celebrating nurses and they have a QR code on the screen and everything else.
	And what can you do to celebrate nurses?
	I have a lot of ideas.
	None are show-worthy.
	Get a vaccine.
	Oh, of course.
	That's how you celebrate the nurse.
	You celebrate the nurse by getting a vaccine, and you can click on that QR code, and it'll show you where you can go get a shot right now.
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	All right.
	This goes right along with what I thought would be in your 3x3 report today.
	Okay.
	Celebrating nurses with the backs.
	Cool.
	Okay.
	Now it gets a little more stranger.
	So CBS, we flipped to CBS. Uh, We've got the Teacher of the Year on, the National Teacher of the Year.
	Oh, wow.
	And we have a CBS host in the middle, National Teacher of the Year on the left, and another famous teacher on the right.
	Well, hold on.
	Teachers also need to be celebrated.
	I'm a strong proponent of teachers who teach, not indoctrinate or propagandize, but teach, yes.
	And who was the other famous?
	Oh, wait, let me guess.
	Was it Dr.
	Jill?
	Yes, it was!
	What a guess!
	You're astonishing!
	Hold on, is that for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight cards, nine, ten, whoa!
	What's going on?
	What's the final count?
	10.
	Ladies and gentlemen, alert the Squawk Box over at CNBC. We have a 10-car Zephyr.
	Stuff is going out of control.
	Bitcoin is 57,135.
	Oh my god!
	Listen to that horn!
	Sell!
	So anyway, the 10-car Zephyr, that was odd.
	That's crazy.
	Was it an extra locomotive?
	No, there were the two.
	I may have missed one of the locomotives.
	I just caught it as the two locomotives, ten cars.
	And the last, they were all the same type of car, but the last one was like a weird looking thing.
	I don't know why.
	I mean, it wasn't like a rented car.
	I'm excited.
	I'm all jitty about that.
	We've never, have we ever had a ten cars effort?
	Never.
	I don't think so.
	No, it was the first time in the show's history.
	By the way, that's a big deal, folks.
	It is, folks.
	All right, back to the shows.
	So Jill Biden's there, she's nodding her head on everything.
	The woman, this Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, talks with a cry.
	My students said I'd like to teach my students.
	It's so great to be the teacher of the year.
	She's got this horrible whining cry when she talks.
	She's just, I can't imagine what the students are like in her classes.
	She dropped in a new buzz phrase.
	What's the key to success?
	Vaccine.
	Vaccine.
	Sorry.
	It should have been.
	No.
	The key is, and Jill would agree with this, that nowadays what you want is, for your education, you want a joyous and just education.
	Mmm.
	Joyous and just.
	As in just.
	Joyous and...
	You shouldn't need to learn how to read or write or do math.
	No, just have joy.
	Because that's racist.
	You want a joyous and just.
	Yeah.
	Okay, so I thought that was interesting.
	Oh, man.
	You learn a lot in just a few minutes.
	Okay, last is ABC. Oh, can I ask you a question about the shot?
	Did Dr.
	Jill, did she look 18 feet tall on the screen?
	No, it's three heads.
	Three heads.
	Three head box.
	Three head box.
	Okay.
	So ABC, I thought you'd be interested in this.
	That's why I saved it for last.
	Uh-huh.
	It's all about real estate.
	Oh, okay.
	And the new trend.
	The new trend, which is renting?
	I believe the ABC report was a native ad for Open Door.
	Oh, what's Open Door?
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	What's Open Door?
	Open Door is kind of a mock competitor to, and they did mention it, Zillow and Redfin.
	Ah, this is a sell-it-yourself website?
	Sell your home yourself?
	This is for the new iBuyer.
	Oh, the high buyer.
	Oh, God.
	When you're locked in your house, you're afraid to go out and you still want to buy a home and then you buy it online, I guess?
	Everything's online, online, online.
	And she described Open Door as online flippers.
	Online flippers?
	I don't know what it meant either, but she did point out that...
	That these guys bought somebody's house for $388,000 just sight unseen.
	Just a few photos.
	Here's the money!
	And then they flipped it for $348,000 within a week.
	Yeah, there's definitely some of that going on.
	Yeah, so they're online flippers.
	And it was a big promotion of the iBuyer.
	Online only.
	And how you can really take it is better.
	It's better?
	Is it cheaper?
	Do they take a percentage?
	Yeah, they do.
	They take a 5% cut.
	Five?
	Yeah.
	Wait a minute.
	They're not giving it away.
	No, but these days, I think you can get like 3.5% for buyer and seller broker.
	I mean, that's negotiable.
	These guys are doing five and the broker's not even driving you around, taking you to lunch?
	No.
	Yeah.
	Alright, well, not for me.
	So that's your morning wrap.
	Wow, a lot of promotion there.
	A lot of promotion.
	And I would have to say that I need to go straight into more promotion.
	Because the mainstream media has stopped pretty much all reporting, medical reporting, and they've just turned to marketing.
	It's all marketing, 100%.
	It's all about marketing to your potential vaccine hesitancy.
	And what's great about this marketing is, of course, a lot of it is sponsored by Pfizer.
	They're not even bashful about it.
	And all of it is, you know, go, find out more, go here, learn this, get it here, places to get the shot, get the shot, get the shot.
	Are you black?
	Get the shot.
	Don't worry about it.
	Just get the shot.
	Shot, shot, shot, shot.
	black and brown communities.
	Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shot.
	So let's...
	This is a question that needs to be asked.
	I've been meaning to do it for weeks on end, and I've been meaning to look it up, and then I start the show, and then it's after the show I think about it.
	Okay.
	One of those things.
	Mm-hmm.
	How much does Pfizer get per shot from the government?
	Because these shots are free.
	They're free, but they're only free to you.
	Well, all we know is that Pfizer did about $4 billion in the first quarter, and they're projected to do $26 billion this year.
	So extrapolate that out.
	You've got to remove the boner pills, and then the rest is all shots, I guess.
	So I don't know.
	50 bucks a pop?
	I think it may be more than that, actually.
	Oh, wait.
	Troll room is weighing in.
	They see some $30 numbers.
	Hmm.
	I don't know.
	To me, all that matters is just look at the report.
	$4 billion in the first...
	Great queue, guys.
	Way to go.
	$26 billion for this year.
	And I think they'll exceed it.
	They'll probably hit $30 billion.
	That's fantastic.
	And with a nice assist from the president who is trying to help the promotional.
	So now we're changing it up since people are no longer going to the mass vaccination sites.
	Now we're going to incentivize all the drug stores.
	Now they're getting in on the money too.
	Walgreens, CVS, your doctor.
	So now the Pfizer reps finally get to go to your doctor.
	Hey, I got some presents here.
	Yeah, let me give you some money under the table.
	Let me see you on a little vacation.
	We got to get some shots going, boys.
	Now, this is the system that works.
	We know that when you put it into the doctors and the pharmacies and the trusted sources, people, definitely there'll be an uptake.
	And how do you find this?
	Well, there's all kinds of handy websites.
	Unfortunately, our president still has problems with the new technology, or maybe even reading a prompter.
	Visit vaccines.com.
	Yeah,.gum.
	That's where you need to go.
	Vaccines.gum.
	What is wrong with this man?
	Listen to the whole thing.
	Visit vaccines.com.
	Dot gov.
	Vaccines.com.
	Or text to...
	Text your zip code to...
	I'm not quite sure what happened there.
	President Joe went on the blink.
	No, it's all about getting it...
	Still need to scare people.
	Hold on a second.
	I know you're on a roll, but I gotta stop.
	Yeah, sure.
	Went on the blink?
	Yeah.
	You don't know the term?
	That's a phrase from the shades.
	Thank you, yes.
	It's right up there with fiddlesticks.
	Yes.
	Fiddlesticks.
	I think going on the blink...
	Maybe when he said he was in his mind, because I'm still convinced he's going to drop one of these bombs on us, when he said, dot gum, he was thinking, buy gum.
	Buy gum.
	I'll tell you what, I'm going to go do that, buy gum.
	It could be.
	Buy gum, get your vaccine shot.
	Well, he's got to get his words straight, man.
	This is not good marketing.
	Unlike superstar Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York, he knows how to do it, baby.
	With the groups who are targeting on the vaccination, youthful and the doubtful.
	Okay, we've got to get the youthful and the doubtful.
	What can I possibly say that would entice them to go get a jab, a poke in their arm?
	And there is an attitude that they'll be fine.
	Why should they take the vaccine?
	Maybe you will get a long-haul syndrome that we're not really sure what it is yet, but a lingering consequence of COVID. Here it comes.
	Or maybe you go home and kiss your grandmother and wind up killing your grandmother.
	Yeah, baby, now that, that, that.
	Well, he would know.
	He's the expert, Dr.
	Dr.
	Granny Death himself.
	Granny killer.
	Qu'est-ce que c'est?
	Yeah, he would know.
	TikTok still doing the pro stuff.
	Missy Modell is high-end though, man.
	And high-end stuff.
	I know that Tony, I, I'm your biggest fan.
	I'm trusting everything you told me.
	Doctor, Doctor Fauci.
	Tony, there's a world that's so strong.
	It's a part ending.
	Doctor, Doctor Fauci.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, are you gonna really try?
	Listen to that, baby.
	This is Trust Fauci.
	The undercurrent music there was stolen from Justin Bieber or something.
	There's a suit waiting to happen.
	Yeah, well, you know, that's allowed on TikTok.
	They have the license, so you can do all that.
	So that's, you know, just a little to remember that Dr.
	Fauci is the man to trust.
	But really, in America, I mean, you know, if you really want to get people to do something, then you've got to give them something.
	Give them something.
	That includes offering incentives to people who get the shot.
	A chance for a new car in Memphis.
	Free beer in New Jersey.
	Our new shot and a beer program to encourage eligible New Jerseyans ages 21 and over to get vaccinated.
	Do you think this will really work?
	Like, you get a free car in Memphis and in New Jersey, free beer?
	Are people really this easy to convince?
	Shot in a beer?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's like the donut.
	Well, yes, the donut.
	Beer, also very healthy.
	But a car, I mean, a car, that's pretty good.
	And as we know, the vaccine demand is down.
	That's really the reason, because we're never going to get where we need to be, which I'll get to in a moment, which is herd immunity, which can only be achieved by vaccines, apparently.
	It's new science.
	So maybe we should do more on the marketing.
	But the battle to get shots in arms is hitting speed bumps.
	Time code.
	Time code.
	Okay.
	But the battle to get shots in arms is hitting speed bumps.
	Daily vaccinations are down 22% from just three weeks ago.
	Physicians around the country, like North Carolina's Dr.
	Karen Smith, using techniques like micro-targeting to help reach individuals in key places like churches, convenience stores, and even a poultry plant.
	But we're setting up trust in the healthcare system, which many of these individuals have lost a long time ago.
	Their main foe?
	Vaccine hesitancy.
	A major concern in Texas, where weekly shots fell more than 50%.
	The Lone Star State slated to have a surplus of half a million doses, with no clinics asking for them.
	We should do some micro-targeting.
	That's how we're going to get closer to them.
	Micro-targeting?
	Just take it door-to-door.
	Knock, knock, knock.
	Oh, that's coming.
	Hold on.
	I have it here.
	There is a new bill on the books, which is the Testing, Reaching, and Contacting Everyone Act.
	Also known as the TRACE Act.
	And this will authorize the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to award grants for testing, contact tracing, monitoring, and other activities to address COVID. To go up and knock on your door.
	That's exactly what this is.
	The bill number is fun.
	HR6666. I always love that.
	Although they threw in an extra six for savings, I guess.
	CNN doing their job bringing on this Dr.
	Leanna Nguyen.
	She is the carrot and the stick lady, and she is just unrelenting with her lies, lies about herd immunity.
	To review, herd immunity is when enough people have antibodies that the virus, that a virus has no more chance of spreading because it just can't find enough hosts.
	You can get you can achieve herd immunity and thus antibodies through vaccination.
	Of course, people who have had the disease have antibodies, and you also reach herd immunity with dead people who just die.
	We're going to get to herd immunity through a balance of those who've had it and those who got vaccinated.
	So this conversation is all about how that will be balanced.
	And if we can get there through more vaccination, fewer people will get sick and die.
	How's that?
	Well, I certainly agree with you on everything you said in your intro.
	I also, though, I'm not sure that we are going to reach herd immunity.
	I mean, the other scenario here is that we get a decline in the number of infections because of increasing vaccinations over the summer.
	That's really good.
	But I also fear that people are going to get complacent.
	They're going to see that things are returning to normal.
	They can go about doing things that they can, that they were able to before, regardless of whether they were vaccinated.
	And what I really worry about is that those people who are already on the fence don't get vaccinated.
	We don't return immunity come the fall.
	And then with the winter, because coronaviruses are winter respiratory viruses, we have a big resurgence.
	Maybe we have variants coming in from other countries and we could start this whole process all over again and have another huge pandemic come the winter.
	And so that's why getting to herd immunity now as much as possible is really important.
	And because we don't have the incentives in place exactly as you said, I don't know that we'll get there.
	Okay, so she is just a liar, because even if we stop vaccinations today, eventually we'll get to herd immunity by the other two ways.
	Everyone has had it, or most people have had it, and the other people are dead.
	So it's just a lie.
	It's a medical lie that she is peddling that you can only reach herd immunity through vaccination.
	What she is saying is that before vaccinations...
	In the 1800s, late 1800s, herd immunity never existed.
	So everybody in this planet, this is a simulation because everyone's already died of scarlet fever and tuberculosis and all these other things that kill people left and right because there's no such thing as herd immunity before the 1800s.
	That's what she said.
	Yes, that's what she said.
	You might die.
	But that's not really her message.
	She wants to market you and tell you, well, she wants to pull everyone together and explain how we can entice people.
	There's really only one way.
	You've got to have a carrot and a stick.
	You've got to have something for people to look forward to.
	Oh, if I get the jab, then I can do all these cool things.
	Sure.
	So how do we close the deal?
	I want to show you page one of the New York Times today because a reporter went to Greene County, Tennessee.
	Put that up on the screen.
	And here's what they found.
	A week here in Greene County reveals a more nuanced, layered hesitancy than surveys suggest.
	People say that politics isn't the leading driver of their vaccine attitudes.
	The most common reason for their apprehension is fear.
	Fear that the vaccine was developed in haste.
	That long-term side effects are unknown.
	Their decisions are also entangled in a web of views about bodily autonomy, science and authority, plus a powerful regional, somewhat romanticized self-image.
	We don't like outsiders messing in our business.
	How do we reach that mindset?
	Now, what I would expect from Dr.
	Leanna Nguyen here, Is some counter information.
	Well, you don't have to be worried about the speed of this because X. You don't have to be worried about the trials because this is how this was conducted.
	Just some medical information.
	Surprise!
	Yeah, it's a really good question.
	I think actually there are three buckets of people who have not yet had the vaccine, and we have to regard these three groups very differently.
	There's a group that's truly anti-vax.
	They're anti-science.
	They may not be vaccinated their children.
	I actually don't think that that's the group that we should be targeting first.
	Oh, okay.
	Okay, so that's the anti-vaxxers.
	you're off the hook.
	The group we should be targeting first are those who actually really want the vaccine, but just haven't had it because they have other things in their lives to worry about.
	They have work and maybe they're working multiple jobs that taking care of elderly parents or young kids.
	We need to make it really easy for them to get the vaccine.
	I think we should be closing mass vaccination sites, redistributing vaccines to doctor's offices, pharmacies, getting pop-up clinics and churches and schools, pop-up clinics and churches and workplaces.
	That's how we'll reach those people.
	Then there's that big middle.
	I think that's the group that you were referring to, Michael.
	People who have specific concerns.
	concerns about the vaccine.
	Yes.
	We need to address these concerns, ideally by people in their community who change their minds.
	Okay.
	So we need to address the concerns people have.
	And by the way, in the black and brown communities, they're not actual Americans, they're just communities.
	They have very specific concerns.
	So we need to address them.
	But we don't need to address them with answers, we just need to address them with people in their community who tell them to get it.
	Jabs for Jesus.
	We need to address these concerns, ideally, by people in their community who changed their minds, who initially thought, I'm worried about these vaccines too, but here's what changed my mind.
	For those people to tell those stories and now show all of these pictures of people reunited with their families, going about their normal lives, I think we should do just like people did the vaccine selfie.
	I think we need to have selfies of people now going to bars and restaurants with other vaccinated people to show what a return to 2019 pre- So let me get this right.
	The idea is to address their concerns by showing people selfies of vaccinated people at restaurants.
	Bars.
	Bars.
	You said bars.
	Yes, sure.
	You can go get wasted now.
	No.
	What you need to do is you need to bring in people from the community to help them understand that they need to get jabbed.
	Let's bring in one of those people from the community.
	Hi, everybody.
	Hey, it's Barack.
	Hey, Barack.
	Now that every American over the age of 16 is eligible to get the vaccine, I want to talk about you getting yours.
	Yeah.
	The vaccine is safe.
	It's effective.
	It's free.
	I got one.
	Michelle got one.
	People you know got one.
	Hey, how come you didn't get two?
	Did you get the Johnson& Johnson?
	Yeah, why didn't you get two?
	I was thinking, when I saw this, the first thing came to mind.
	What's that?
	But you only got one?
	Are you full of crap?
	And now, you can get one too.
	Just one.
	It's the only way we're going to get back to all the things we love.
	The only way.
	The only way.
	That's just a lie.
	From safely spending time with grandparents to going to concerts and watching live sports.
	So get the vaccine as soon as you can.
	You might die.
	You know, get the vaccine.
	You know what?
	I don't go to sports and live events and my grandparents are dead.
	So, there you go.
	No, what you really want to do is you want to get some real people from the community.
	You know, the black and brown community.
	So, you go to The Real.
	The Ladies of The Real.
	Now, this is without a doubt a very popular show.
	The Ladies of The Real have influence.
	And they did a 30-minute...
	Special, which is I think only available on YouTube.
	It's called What's Up Doc?
	It's a special segment and it literally says on the screen at the beginning, sponsored by Pfizer.
	Let's listen in.
	There are now over 100 million people in the U.S. who have received...
	Needless to say, every woman in this is of color.
	COVID-19 vaccination.
	Whether or not you get vaccinated is a personal choice, but it's so important to stay informed.
	So today, we're making sure you have the info you need.
	This is What's Up Doc?
	COVID-19 Vaccines Edition.
	Woo!
	Hit it, girls!
	Today, we're getting all the answers to your vaccine questions straight from Pfizer's Chief Patient Officer.
	Oh, man.
	How much money did they get?
	Hold on, I have to say one thing about this.
	It's pathetic.
	That is pathetic, by the way, and I'll say it again.
	It's pathetic.
	But let's go back to the...
	I think it's an error.
	I don't know how Pfizer let them get away with it.
	There must have been some debate about this.
	I can't believe there wasn't an argument with Pfizer and they said, okay, we'll let you do it.
	You can't start off this special, especially when it's paid for by Pfizer, with the namby-pamby.
	It's a personal choice.
	You have to start it off with this is an important necessity.
	It's not a personal choice.
	It's an important necessity.
	And that's the wordage they should have put at the beginning.
	But the way you played it with it's a personal choice and then you backdoor into the discussion.
	Pfizer paying for all this?
	No, no, no, no, no.
	That's not happening.
	There's no way you put that wordage in there.
	It just doesn't work out.
	It's interesting you say that because if we'll listen to it again, I think, because this is before the opening, this may be like we do on the show.
	You pull something from a quote you put at the beginning.
	This is an intro quote which probably stood...
	By itself, and was maybe even produced after the actual special was put together.
	I'd be very irked if I was Pfizer, and if what you say is true, I'd be very irked.
	I'd ask for a make good.
	It takes the wind out of the whole presentation, as far as I'm concerned, if I'm a Pfizer marketing guy.
	Well, let's continue with the chief patient officer.
	We should look that up with that job.
	As a CPO. He's also a chief petty officer.
	Well, it's a she and she is of color.
	Today we're getting all the answers to your vaccine questions straight from Pfizer's chief patient officer.
	Please welcome Dr.
	Dara Richardson-Heron.
	Hello everyone!
	Hello guys!
	Okay, let's get straight to it.
	The CDC has said vaccines are safe and effective, but some people still feel hesitant to get it.
	I know among communities of color, especially black communities, there are concerns, even distrust.
	How do you respond to that?
	You know what, Lonnie?
	You know, given the magnitude and urgency of the pandemic, we're so thankful for the efforts that have been undertaken to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in record time.
	But, you know, when it comes to mistrust, I think it's important to provide a bit of context here because, you know, let's face it.
	Many underserved communities, particularly communities of color, have a well-earned mistrust in our nation's healthcare system.
	You know, the truth is communities of color have not and are not always treated with the disrespect and dignity we deserve.
	I mean, think about historical transgressions like the Tuskegee syphilis study, the unauthorized use of Henrietta Lacks cancer cells and others.
	You know, to be honest, there's still continued barriers today.
	Systemic racism, lack of access to healthcare, implicit bias in micro, even macro aggression.
	So honestly, it's not surprising that these unfortunate events might have a negative impact on some people of color and their confidence in receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
	So It's really important for us to understand and acknowledge the reasons for this mistrust, but it's equally important for us to find ways to respectfully address the concerns people have and And do what it takes to rebuild confidence in our nation's healthcare system so that we can protect our communities from the horrific impact COVID-19 is having right now and also eliminate the many health disparities we unfortunately continue to see in black and brown communities.
	So here's what's going on.
	She's referring to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment where doctors lied to patients.
	And her response is, well, we have to recognize that.
	And then she says, trust the doctors, basically.
	She gives no scientific facts, no answers to the questions that are being asked.
	Just saying, well, we have to recognize that, you know, we screwed black men back in the day.
	Like, it's different now.
	And, you know, so we won't do that.
	Or do we just have to find people who are more true?
	I know what we'll do.
	We need to get some professionals in here who can really talk to black and brown communities.
	John Legend, come on in.
	What was your reaction when it became evident that COVID-19 was disproportionately affecting the black community?
	Well, you know, if you talk to anyone that provides health care to the black community, you'll know that there's so many reasons why, when there are health care concerns, it hits black and brown communities harder.
	A lot of it's built into the way our communities have experienced racism.
	By the way...
	Please pay attention to this overpaid, overestimated, not that impressive songstress, John Legend, who is going to tell you about his community and all the things he has suffered.
	For years, whether it's environmental...
	Hold on a second.
	Stop, stop.
	Yeah.
	What?
	Is this in that same report we're watching?
	No, no, this is...
	Okay, you didn't make that clear.
	I'm sorry.
	No, I have moved now to another native ad.
	Okay, as long as you let us know, because I was wondering what he was doing.
	It wasn't that he wouldn't be on that special.
	It's just why the music bed all of a sudden.
	It's annoying, by the way.
	The music band is annoying.
	It's very annoying, and I would like to make a personal plea to people who make clips on Twitter and YouTube You know, there was actually something, Dr.
	Simone Gold of America's Frontline Doctors, and she had a little bit there about ivermectin that I wanted to clip.
	And whoever made this video, there is no reason you need to put the bombastic Alex Jones music under it.
	Like, oh, she's an American hero flying in on her freaking eagle.
	Stop!
	You're ruining the opportunity to do anything with these clips.
	Bump-a-da-bump-bump!
	Bump-a-da-bump-bump!
	Why?
	The way our communities have experienced racism for years, whether it's environmental racism, housing segregation, and actually being treated differently when they visit health care providers.
	So there's so many factors that go into us having worse health outcomes.
	And some of it's just the stress of racism that causes heart problems and higher blood pressure and all these other things.
	So we were already vulnerable to any kind of health condition, but particularly this virus, which preys on people that have pre-existing conditions, has been really devastating for black and brown communities.
	And we're also disproportionately likely to be frontline workers, people who can't stay home, people who can't zoom in to work, who have to be there.
	And so, so many factors were involved, but it hit our community very hard.
	And because of that, our community is most in need of an intervention like the vaccines because Prevention is going to be the most important way of stopping this virus from spreading.
	So even just the nervousness about racism makes you more susceptible to dying from COVID. This, by the way, was a Walgreens ad.
	The whole thing, on screen, continuously, Walgreens, get your shot at Walgreens.
	John Legend, shilling for Walgreens.
	So I have some specific things about the black and brown community, but first we need to do two more promotional pieces.
	John Oliver, the whitest guy I know, who I think is probably also a vasectomy victim.
	I'm just looking at him based on your theory.
	What do you think?
	Well, again, I'm going to say it's not my theory.
	It was proposed and used as a youth mechanism to make you look a certain way, and it's been documented in the books, and it was very popular, and it wasn't my theory.
	I just...
	Now that I know that took place, then you can just extrapolate the appearance that you achieve by getting a vasectomy and see it in other people.
	Correct.
	I'm sorry.
	I did not mean to accuse you of such an incredibly good theory.
	I didn't dream it up.
	I did not dream it up.
	But basically, you start to look like Rachel Maddow.
	That's what happens.
	So...
	John Oliver did a full hour on his HBO show.
	John Oliver, also not a doctor.
	His wife is a doctor, though, which probably makes him feel that more angry about hesitancy and deniers.
	Yeah, and she's probably the one who gave him the vasectomy.
	This is good for you.
	And he called out enemy number one.
	There really is only one enemy when it comes to the person solely responsible for none of us ever reaching herd immunity, probably for the death of the country.
	We all know who it is.
	Another group you might have heard have high hesitancy rates are Republicans, and that is also true.
	Around 30% of Republicans say they won't get it, and it's not hard to see why.
	Because fears and doubts about the vaccine have flown around conservative media with one of the most prominent super-spreaders being this fucking guy.
	What about this vaccine?
	Why are Americans being discouraged from asking simple, straightforward questions about it?
	Questions like, how effective are these drugs?
	Are they safe?
	Do you need a reason to turn on the vaccine?
	And what happens if you do turn it down?
	Will you be allowed to fly on airplanes?
	Or go to work?
	Or enter the front doors of Madison Square Garden?
	Oh, now they're telling us the vaccine has a delayed response.
	Okay, delayed by how long?
	They don't say.
	If vaccines work, why are vaccinated people still banned from living normal lives?
	Honestly, what's the answer to that?
	So maybe it doesn't work and they're simply not telling you that.
	Well, you hate to think that, especially if you've gotten two shots.
	But what's the other potential explanation?
	Okay, it is genuinely weird to see someone hosting a show on a supposed news network and ending every sentence with a question mark, especially when answers to most of those questions are out there for anyone who cares to know.
	Could you give the answers to me, Johnny?
	For instance, that last complaint that the CDC still recommends wearing masks indoors when around vulnerable, unvaccinated people does not mean the vaccine doesn't work.
	Clinical trials found that the vaccines are spectacularly successful at preventing people from getting serious disease.
	Hold on, that's literally an admission that the vaccine doesn't work.
	It's just you won't have the disease that bad.
	As for whether they protect you from spreading the virus, the trials weren't designed to assess that, but evidence so far indicates that they drastically reduce transmission.
	The reason we still see mask and distancing recommendations is that the CDC is being cautious and wants to be sure that it is not spreading bullshit around during a global pandemic like a frozen dinner duke with a TV show.
	Anyway, I hope that answers at least one of your gape-mouthed bad faith wonderings, Tucker, you scrunch-faced fear baboon.
	And the problem is, when people like Tucker raise questions without bothering to answer them, there is a lot of misinformation out there for people to then stumble on.
	Which he, in this whole hour, doesn't even address.
	No one's addressing the actual questions, which is so cool about this marketing exercise.
	They're just jamming it in your face.
	And they went to NPR and said, I think maybe NPR had an internal meeting.
	Look, we can't really be doing too much here, but maybe we can help everybody out.
	So, you know, we're still on board with the program, so we can get some of those bigger sponsorships, you know, brought to you by Pfizer stuff.
	But we kind of have to spread the love.
	Let me think.
	Let's do this.
	The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are very similar, both based on the same technology.
	So switching between them is probably not that big a deal.
	But in the United Kingdom, researchers have begun to study whether using two completely different vaccines is as good or even better than using the same one twice.
	Technically, this is known as heterologous vaccination.
	But there's a more colloquial description.
	In the UK at the moment, we're sort of calling it mix and match.
	Helen Fletcher is a professor of immunology at the London School...
	We're sort of calling it mix.
	Sort of calling it mix and match.
	I love this scientific stuff.
	...of hygiene and tropical medicine.
	She says shortages of a vaccine or concerns about side effects may induce health officials to adopt a mix and match strategy.
	That could mean starting with what's called a viral vector vaccine, like the one made by AstraZeneca, and following with an mRNA vaccine...
	Holy crap!
	So now they're not just talking about Pfizer and Moderna.
	No, just throw in something else, man.
	Just throw in an extra one.
	Pfizer or Moderna.
	This is ludicrous.
	It continues.
	Health agencies in France and Germany have already begun recommending people consider doing that.
	So there's a practical reason why you would want to mix two different types of vaccine.
	You want to die.
	But there is also a scientific reason as well.
	Here's why.
	Fletcher says, Using two different vaccines is a bit like giving the immune system two pictures of the virus, maybe one face on and one in profile.
	If you give two different types of vaccine, then you tend to get a better immune system than if you give the same vaccine twice.
	I think it was only a few months ago.
	Don't you dare mix it.
	Make sure you don't get the Moderna if you had the Pfizer.
	Oh, no, don't do that.
	It's bad.
	Now?
	Do a couple things.
	Throw them together, man.
	It's all going to be good.
	Science!
	These are all the big science advocates.
	I will give you at least one reason why I believe the black community...
	They're not Americans, they're just black communities, are very hesitant about vaccines.
	Currently, the national average is 1 in 50 boys who gets vaccinated.
	It appears on the autism spectrum, and the correlation is that it happens right after the triple MMR, which used to be three separate vaccines until Merck combined them into the MMR, and set the schedule which used to be three separate vaccines until Merck combined them into the MMR, and set the schedule at 15 months, and that's when boys in
	At one point, it was unknown autism, then it was one in 10,000, and since 1992, it's skyrocketed now to one in 50.
	For black boys, that is closer to one in 15, and the reason why it's happened to black boys and brown boys is the correlation between poverty is high in that community, and they get everything jammed up. and they get everything jammed up.
	The schedule is stacked and it's obvious that this is not very healthy for children.
	And when you...
	Do you remember that Robert De Niro...
	He produced a documentary for his very own film festival called Vaxxed, and that he pulled the documentary from his own festival, from the, what's his little film?
	Tribeca.
	Tribeca Film Festival, because he has a son with autism, and he was pushing this.
	I found a clip, but it was two and a half minutes, so we don't need to listen to De Niro.
	But he was pushing this documentary and then he pulled it because, well, you know, there's some things that, well, I won't quite, whatever, De Niro.
	I went back and watched the whole documentary.
	It's on YouTube.
	It's about an hour and a half.
	And this will give you some real pause, this short clip from it, where there's a whistleblower within the CDC who was very aware, has documentation of the CDC never, ever trying the new triple-dose vaccine in a proper trial on children with a control group.
	And this did come out very briefly about six or seven years ago, maybe a little bit longer, and it came out in the documentary a few years back when Bill Posey, congressman from Florida, specifically requested Colleen Boyle, I think she was then the CDC director, to explain what testing they had done with the MMR vaccine with children.
	And here's how that went.
	I wonder if the CDC has conducted or facilitated a study comparing vaccinated children with unvaccinated children yet.
	Have you done that?
	We have actually done a number of studies looking at the relationship between thimerosal vaccines and autism and other developmental disabilities.
	Vaccines and their components did not increase the risk for autism.
	Unequivocally, you have studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
	We have not studied vaccinated versus unvaccinated.
	Okay, never mind.
	Just stop there.
	That was the meaning of my question.
	You wasted two minutes of my time.
	So right now, we are about to allow the same companies, through the FDA and the CDC, to vaccinate children between 12 and 15.
	And there's not enough time to have even done a proper study.
	So if you want some vaccine hesitancy from a group that is very, very suspicious and seems to have a high rate of autism, which of course has nothing to do with vaccines, it's all discredited, it's all crap, there is a whistleblower who will go to jail if he speaks out.
	He would have to be subpoenaed by Congress, which Congress is not going to do for obvious reasons.
	And this clip from the Vax documentary explains it all, explains the no agenda show take on Big Pharma.
	This is the producer of The Doctors, a very famous TV show in America.
	I think it's almost daily at this point.
	It's always been daily.
	It's always been daily?
	I'm pretty sure it's a daily show that competes with Dr.
	Oz.
	And he had the story.
	He had audio tape.
	He had the documents.
	He had the whistleblower.
	He had everything good to go.
	And then this.
	In the fall of last year, I got a call from an inside source who told me that in two weeks, there's going to be a whistleblower from the CDC who is going to come out and say that the CDC had committed fraud on the MMR study and that they knew that vaccines were actually causing autism.
	I mean, that's a huge story.
	Unfortunately, it was a story I would not be able to tell on a medical talk show because a lot of our funding was coming from the pharmaceutical industry.
	And we were also very good friends with the CDC who had appeared on our show many, many times.
	But I knew that once this story broke, two weeks later, that the mainstream news media would pick it up, Fox would be on it, CNN would be on it, MSNBC, and we're talking about the biggest medical story in the last decade or two, at least.
	So that two weeks came.
	I saw the video that was posted by Andrew Wakefield and Brian Hooker, and I heard the words of William Thompson and his confession.
	Oh my God, I cannot believe we did what we did.
	But we did.
	It's all there.
	It's all there.
	And I watched the blogosphere go crazy.
	Tweets, Facebook, social media, everybody talking about it.
	But not one mainstream media source went anywhere near the story.
	In fact, on CNN, someone put the story up on iReport and CNN took it down.
	And at that moment, I realized...
	Wait a minute.
	Not only is my medical talk show being produced by the pharmaceutical industry, all of television is.
	Yes!
	Yes!
	All of television.
	You might as well give yourself Clip of the Day for digging that thing up.
	Oh, thank you.
	It was fun to watch.
	It's an hour and a half to work.
	Clip of the Day.
	It was fun to watch.
	Again, it's in the show notes.
	I do have some clips from Canada from a doctor up there that has been...
	Given a gag order for saying anything.
	I guess in Canada it's illegal to create vaccine hesitancy.
	Oh, this show is outlawed, baby!
	Outlawed in Scandinavia!
	Is that a real law?
	We're not creating anything.
	We're just playing clips and then discussing them.
	Do you think it's a real law?
	Well, I mean, we could just be creating it just by being us.
	I mean, you could argue that in court, I guess.
	Well, I don't expect the Canadians to go after us.
	But do you want to hear these?
	This is kind of interesting.
	Yeah, of course I do.
	And again, it's not produced by a company that did a, that is like you just played, that's supported by the pharmaceutical industry.
	It was on an obscure podcast.
	Nice.
	Up in Canada, run by a couple of women.
	But let's listen, this is Charles Hoffman.
	The first clip's the long one, and it discusses his story.
	We really are grateful, Dr.
	Hoff.
	Thank you very much for being here.
	We understand now that you have written a letter.
	One of the things, you start out your letter to Dear Dr.
	Henry, which is Dr.
	Bonnie Henry.
	The first dose of the Moderna vaccine has now been administered to some of my patients in the community of Lytton, B.C. This began with the First Nations members of our community in mid-January 2021.
	900 doses have now been administered.
	Will you tell me, Dr.
	Hoff, what has transpired and what brought you to such concern that you felt you needed to write an open letter to Dr.
	Bonnie Henry?
	Yes, I'll tell you, really, the story.
	About a month ago, I expressed when all the news about the blood clots from the AstraZeneca virus and that sort of thing were coming into the news, and there were 12 countries in Europe that had discontinued it, and I just knew that this vaccine rollout was happening Without any long-term safety data and the number of cases of anaphylaxis showed us that the
	risks of it that were quoted by the pharmaceutical companies in proving their safety were definitely A vast understatement.
	And we could see that just with anaphylaxis right off the bat.
	You know, in Lytton, you know, Moderna quoted one in 100,000.
	We've had two in Lytton in the first 900 people vaccinated.
	So, I mean, we can see clearly that they fudged their numbers basically to prove the safety of their vaccines.
	But to get back to my story...
	I sent an email that I thought was a bit foolish to a group of the people involved in the vaccine rollout here.
	And these were pharmacists, nurses, doctors just in our area.
	I think it went to 18 people.
	And I just said, you know, with all these side effects appearing, shouldn't we perhaps just pause things for a while?
	Anyway, within 48 hours, I had a very stern rebuke from my superiors at the Interior Health Authority who told me that I was guilty of causing vaccine hesitancy.
	And they were going to be reporting me to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC.
	And that I was forbidden from saying anything negative about the vaccine within our health facility.
	Wow.
	Hmm.
	Doesn't sound like a law yet, but it sounds like...
	No, but it might as well be.
	Yeah.
	If you lose your...
	Your license.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's a de facto law.
	But I just like that he was creating vaccine hesitancy.
	Yeah, he's creating it, even though all he's doing is reporting.
	He had two cases of anaphylaxis out of 900 when it's supposed to be one out of 100,000.
	Yeah.
	Anaphylaxis is severe.
	It's like toxic shock syndrome.
	It's where your body goes nuts.
	It can happen with peanuts.
	Yeah.
	If you fist them.
	Okay, let's go to part two.
	So I had been given a gag order.
	So initially I was a bit intimidated because, you know, unfortunately many doctors are because the colleges hold enormous authority to literally shut down your livelihood or to give enormous fines.
	So I was a bit intimidated, but as the week went on and I saw more and more people coming into my office with serious neurological problems following their...
	And this was just the first shot of the vaccine, and we know that the second one gives much worse side effects.
	I became more and more angry about my gag order and so I was told when I was in my reprimand that if I had any questions about the vaccine that they needed to be addressed to the medical health officer responsible for the vaccine rollout for our area and that's who I needed to be speaking to.
	So I wrote a letter with all my questions and concerns and of course my questions have no answers because this is an experiment and we don't know what the answers are.
	But anyway, I put them all in the letter, and I sent the letter off to this doctor who's the medical health officer, and to date have received no reply, which I suppose wasn't surprising.
	As expected, yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	So after receiving no response from her, I thought, well, then I'm going to write to Dr.
	Bonnie Henry, who's our provincial health officer.
	So...
	So I thought, because I didn't expect a response from her either, that I would make it an open letter.
	And that I was so angry about being shut down, basically being gagged and threatened with punishment for speaking out, about what I was seeing in my own patients, that I sent it as an open letter.
	And that's, I imagine, what you have.
	Oh!
	That's totally how you create vaccine hesitancy.
	Open letters will not do.
	Transparency not permitted.
	You know, I wonder how much of this is going on generally, and I think it also applies to the climate scientists.
	Yeah, same issue, I'm sure.
	It's like, shut up.
	Well, you get shut down, you get fired, like we had that clip of the guy that was a coral expert in Australia who got kicked out of his university because he said, there's nothing bad at the Great Barrier Reef.
	I studied this, this is my reef.
	Yeah.
	No, no, you're out.
	Anyway, let's go on and continue.
	So what I'm telling people about is not some theory.
	This is what I've seen in my own patients.
	I've been a doctor to these patients for 28 years, and now three of them are disabled by this first vaccine.
	And it upsets me very much because these people did not know that they were part of an experiment.
	You've seen that one person has actually died, and I believe it was quite a few days after the vaccination, right?
	Yes, that's correct.
	So in that person's case, there's no way of proving what they died from.
	This was a person who had COPD and was on one medication, which was a ventilant puffer.
	And so this person just complained to his wife that ever since he had the shot, he was short of breath all the time.
	And then eventually, three weeks after the shot, or in fact it was 24 days to be precise, he was literally sitting on the side of the bed talking to his wife and just killed over dead.
	So I don't know what he died from.
	Unfortunately, I wasn't on duty that week.
	An autopsy wasn't done.
	He was just buried or cremated or whatever happened to him.
	And so it was just odd.
	He had no history of heart disease or strokes or anything.
	Anything else, it was his only...
	So that is an unknown.
	I just don't know if it was the vaccine.
	Man, you should do a podcast.
	Every day I receive notes like this.
	My father-in-law had a massive heart attack.
	Just mowing the lawn.
	Every day I hear these.
	Never heard about it with COVID. Very few.
	Since the vaccine rollout...
	If you look in the VARS database, which only picks up maybe one out of a hundred or one out of a thousand complaints...
	Yeah, it's like 3,000 people have died.
	And they drop in.
	They're always weird.
	It's like a guy got the shot and then he walks up the stairs and drops dead.
	Correlation is not...
	A lot of it just drops dead.
	Correlation is not causality.
	Exactly.
	All right, we wrap this guy up.
	The most tragic of all of them is a very dear 38-year-old lady in our community who had her first shot of the COVID vaccine, and she was one of the people who had an anaphylactic reaction.
	So within 15 minutes, her tongue and her throat swelled up, and she felt like she couldn't breathe properly, and she developed itchy skin.
	And so she was treated for her anaphylaxis, and once she'd recovered, she went home.
	And the next day found that she was literally so exhausted that for the next three weeks she tells me that she literally slept till five o'clock in the evening every day for three weeks with a pounding headache.
	So...
	Then she started to improve a little bit after that, and then one week after her shot, she developed a Bell's palsy, which is a paralysis of half of your face.
	So she couldn't close her left eye.
	Her speech was slurred because it affects your tongue as well.
	It's hard to eat because you drool out of the side of your mouth.
	But what was most unusual is that Bell's palsy is not usually painful.
	But she had pain on the side of her face where this palsy was.
	So that is something different that I've never, ever heard of a painful Bell's palsy.
	So she also, at the time that she got the Bell's palsy, just became severely dizzy.
	And so she's now almost three months since her vaccine and still cannot drive.
	She is so dizzy all the time with incessant headaches.
	The headaches aren't all the time.
	They're every day.
	But the main thing that disables her is the dizziness.
	And so her Bell's palsy improved to a point that she can actually now close both eyes.
	But when she blinks, you know, only one eye doesn't blink properly.
	But so her Bell, you know, we don't know if her facial paralysis will be permanent or not.
	So she's been off work since her shot in January, middle of January.
	Just playing this creates more vaccine hesitancy.
	I don't know why you don't want us to be allowed to broadcast in Scandinavia.
	It's just going to ruin it for us.
	We're going to be shunned and banned and on the hit list.
	It doesn't matter because we won't be able to go there.
	See, this is now the new...
	We still can't.
	Oh, we'll never be able to go.
	Even though this next short clip is about Europe, and I believe it to be factually untrue, but this is now the last thing we can do.
	You gotta take the shot, man!
	Americans may be allowed to travel through Europe by the end of June.
	The European Union has come up with a plan that would permit travel by people who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
	Children would also be allowed.
	The system, as proposed, is designed to be shut back down promptly if there's a disturbing growth of new cases.
	Greece and Iceland already allow American visitors, but most of Europe remains off-limits for all but essential travel.
	Now, I looked this up.
	It currently is true.
	It is off limits.
	What they are proposing is if you can show proof of vaccination, and underneath it it says, or recent test.
	So governments, I do not believe, are going to invoke any kind of vaccine mandate that you cannot enter a country because you've not been vaccinated.
	They will mandate a recent test, and I'm sure the rigmarole is meant to be so annoying that you'll eventually just go, oh, okay, I'll get the vaccine.
	Now that's what Europe is doing.
	In the United States, we need to look at the new, rebranded, revamped Sunny Hostin.
	Have you seen Sunny Hostin?
	She's changed her entire look.
	Who?
	Sunny Hostin from The View.
	She's the lawyer, the black girl on The View.
	Okay, I don't watch The View.
	The View is my beat.
	Well, she has changed her entire look, her hair.
	I mean, it's kind of a...
	Kind of a Beyonce look.
	Her makeup is different.
	It's noticeable because it's my beat, so I watch this stuff.
	Now, she wants to take a different approach.
	Almost 50% of Republicans are refusing to get the vaccine, so we won't reach herd immunity.
	It's interesting how John Oliver had 30% and Sonny Haasen from The View, as you know, a journalistic program.
	It pegs it at 50%.
	Almost 50% of Republicans are refusing...
	Wait.
	She used the weasel word almost.
	She could say almost 100%.
	30% is almost 100% by some standards.
	Yeah, 30% is almost 50, too.
	You're right.
	You're correct.
	Almost 50% of Republicans are refusing to get the vaccine, so we won't reach herd immunity because of those particular groups.
	Okay, so just right there, Sonny Hauston, lie.
	Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.
	You will reach herd immunity if all the Republicans die and the rest is vaccinated or has had it.
	You're going to reach it.
	And they've been advocating the Republicans die all along.
	Yes.
	So what's the bitch?
	What's your problem?
	What's the complaint?
	It may take a little longer, but once they're all dead, then you can do whatever you want.
	Because of those particular groups.
	So I say we need to shun those that refuse to get vaccinated.
	Just like now in certain states, many states, I know in New York, there are signs on storefronts, on businesses, all across the state, no mask, no entry.
	I think if you have not been vaccinated, no entry.
	You want to get on a plane?
	You got to be vaccinated.
	Show proof of vaccination.
	And those people that don't want to get vaccinated, then that's fine.
	That's fine for you.
	But then you can't spread it to other people that are vaccinated.
	You can't spread it to other people that are also not vaccinated.
	I love that.
	What?
	I know.
	She's like...
	She knows the illogic of this.
	I've had this illogic with other people, some libjo types.
	They say, well, you know, if I'm vaccinated, I don't want anyone who's not vaccinated on the plane sitting next to me.
	Well, if you're vaccinated, why do you care?
	Because it makes no logical sense.
	And they keep pounding it and hounding it and beating the same drum.
	But if you're vaccinated...
	Why do you care that a Republican, lousy Republican, sitting next to you is not vaccinated?
	What difference does it make to you?
	Well, she's going to try and explain it and stumbles everywhere and can't quite get there because...
	By the way, is she a civil rights attorney?
	What?
	Because she sure doesn't think much of civil rights.
	Is she really a civil rights attorney?
	I don't know.
	I don't know what kind of attorney she is.
	It's a TV attorney.
	Yeah, I'll look it up while we're playing.
	Spread it to other people that are vaccinated.
	You can't spread it to other people that are also not vaccinated.
	Then you don't get those other liberties that come with immunity.
	Something has to break.
	If that's your personal choice not to get vaccinated, you don't then get to infringe on the rights of those who have chosen to protect their fellow citizens.
	You don't have that right.
	You don't have a right, yo.
	She was in the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division.
	She specialized in child sex crimes when she became a federal prosecutor.
	Hang in, judge.
	And then she became a TV lawyer.
	Now, this is hesitancy stuff and, you know, Republicans and all.
	I need to share some personal things because I am struggling with how to handle the following situation, personal situation.
	My dad passed away in November of 2019, just before his 80th birthday.
	You recall I had just been visiting my daughter.
	And I turned around and went back.
	Because my dad passed away, and what you do is you go hang out with your family.
	So I think I turned around in 72 hours and flew back just to be with everybody.
	And he wanted to be cremated, and we had set up...
	He has a burial site.
	There's a Curry family plot in Armonk.
	That's where I want my plaque, I guess.
	There's space for every curry!
	And that's where his ashes were to be strewn, where his ceremony was to be had, and that all got cancelled.
	Everyone had tickets, Willow coming from Italy, my sister Tiffany coming from the Netherlands, and a lot of other people, a lot of other curries coming from around the country.
	And so that clearly was postponed.
	And, you know, we've been looking, you know, it's like, oh, maybe now, no.
	And so now we're a year and a half further up.
	And Tiffany is, my sister Tiffany was in Holland.
	It's always been kind of, she manages this.
	She's managed all these things.
	And she sends out one of her beautiful family emails.
	And I want to share some of that because of how it affects me and maybe you can give me some advice.
	And I'll skip some things, obviously.
	How y'all doing?
	Saw on the TV the other night, half of all Americans have had their shots and that life is pretty much getting back to normal.
	At least New York showed everything open and people in the streets.
	Here in the Netherlands, we're a bit behind.
	The government promises everyone to be vaccinated by the 1st of July.
	I can hardly imagine, but we try to stay positive with belief.
	Still slow at the airport, where my sister works.
	They try to make it as hard as possible to travel.
	To fly out and you to test and to get back in the country, even two negative tests, you can imagine the cost.
	I sincerely hope that it will be possible to get to the U.S. soon to give you all a big hug and for the ceremony.
	And so then the first note comes back from Uncle Don and Aunt Meg.
	My favorite, really my favorite people, you know, Don, of course, the big CIA guy.
	He's been very open to me.
	I've learned a lot from him.
	And they are now, Meg is 91, and she was a spy for the Russia desk of the CIA, and Don is 93.
	So they're up there.
	And their response is, finally, we were able to get appointments for the vaccine.
	I must say, it's reassuring.
	As the weather warms, we have had one or two people come for an afternoon drink on our deck.
	We have dozens of daffodils to admire in the meadow.
	I'm going to skip over this stuff.
	We are pleased to see our children here on brief visits.
	Always cheery, so helpful.
	This is typical Aunt Meg.
	I expect we'll be the extent of our travels this year, which is pretty much nothing.
	We think of you all so often.
	Always pleased to get word.
	We look forward to everyone gathering at the homestead there in Armonk for Jay, for my dad.
	And then comes Uncle Rennie.
	And Uncle Rennie, he just throws it in there.
	He is a former NASA scientist, a space guy actually, probably also a spook, I don't know.
	We are doing well here in Santa Cruz.
	We both had the second shot so we feel safe while interacting with and dining indoors with people who are also vaccinated.
	We want to travel, but travel is a problem.
	Europe is out, and I even worry about domestic travel, especially keeping a safe distance while going through the security lines.
	Yes, I'm vaccinated, but it's less than 90% effective for my age group.
	We have too many people in the U.S. who are refusing the vaccine.
	Hopefully they will get infected soon so we'll get to herd immunity and things will settle to the new normal, whatever that is.
	And then my cousin chimes in.
	Great to hear all the wonderful updates.
	I've already had my first vaccine.
	Everyone's on the vaccine train.
	So what do I do when I... Either I can show up and we can have the confrontation, or I need to communicate somehow to say, we are not getting vaccinated, we would love to be at my father's funeral, what are we going to do about your issues with my so-called hesitancy?
	And I'm really...
	Wait, wait.
	Somebody sent a note to you saying that?
	No, no, no.
	That's what I... Because clearly, the message here is people who don't get vaccinated are a problem, are ruining it for everybody else.
	This is a big family email.
	The thread goes on.
	Yeah, sounds like it.
	So what do I do?
	Do I say, hey guys, Tina and I are not getting vaccinated, so see you there!
	You know, what to do?
	Uh, well...
	My advice is not ethical.
	Okay.
	Yeah, it's a lie.
	And I'm not of that opinion, because I don't...
	No, I'm done lying.
	I'm not going to lie.
	I cannot lie about this shit.
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, then you're not going to lie.
	You're not going to lie.
	You're not going to lie.
	That's fine.
	Yeah.
	I'm personally, if I was asked about it, I've looked at what happened in Norway.
	I'm, you know, getting old.
	I think when you're older, it's probably when you don't want to get the vaccine, even though it's supposed to be...
	Everyone else should get the vaccine to protect the elderly.
	I'm going to call myself that now.
	But the elderly, if you give them the shot, anyone over 60, the way I see it, you're putting them at risk because of the nature of the shot.
	Looking at what happened in Norway, this should never give to anyone over 80, ever.
	Mm-hmm.
	But they're still doing it here.
	In fact, Uncle Don got a shot.
	He should have been prohibited.
	So there's a lot of...
	A lot of bull crap that you have to deal with.
	I don't know.
	You're shit out of luck.
	That's my advice.
	I got no good advice.
	I mean, I really have...
	The only two things I can come up with...
	You're going to be seen as the family nutcase.
	Oh, no.
	Well, I don't think that's anything new.
	Remember, I didn't join the agency.
	I didn't finish school.
	I became a VJ. Yeah.
	Which is, you know, underneath curable lepers on their scale.
	But I love my family, and I really want to be with them.
	I'm in show business.
	And I really want to see them.
	So the only thing I can think of is say, hey, look, I'm going to be honest.
	Lying is not the way to go.
	We're not taking the shot.
	We're happy to social distance from you, whatever you want.
	I mean, and then just leave it up to them how far they want to take that.
	I would, again, bring back the point.
	Now, you got the one really nutty uncle that's in there saying, well, it's only 90% effective, so if you haven't had the shot, I still got 10% chance, thanks to you.
	When the real answer should be, you got vaccinated, what are you worried about?
	Yeah.
	Well, I did have another...
	That's supposed to be what vaccines are for.
	If you're going to take the shot and it's still no good, which is what you're saying, then why...
	whether I took it or not.
	It's bullcrap, these people.
	Yes, of course.
	I'm just saying that this is, it's like thinking Trump is an okay guy.
	I mean, it's just as bad.
	It's on the same level.
	It's oozing off of the emails.
	I find it interesting that so many members of the intelligence community hate Trump.
	They hate Trump, and they made it clear during his four years, and they're really promoters of the Democrat Party, which is now very slow.
	I've got some clips, if you want to play them later, showing that the Democrat Party, especially an operation like Blue America, are borderline communists.
	And so when did the CIA, and I'm jumping here, become a communist infiltrated operation?
	No, that's not what happened.
	Uncle Don, who worked for Bush Sr., CIA when it was still OSS, when Obama became president, he switched and voted for Obama twice.
	I don't think he became a Democrat, but he voted for Obama twice.
	And that's because Obama was a CIA guy.
	Did he vote for Hillary?
	I don't know.
	I'm sure he did.
	I'm sure he did not vote for Trump.
	Now, the only other thing I can throw this at, which is a possibility.
	Now, if I'm going to lie, let me give you a new one, a new thinking I've got.
	Because on deck right now is this...
	It's the idea that India is just...
	I mean, they're dying out.
	They're burning people everywhere in the streets.
	People are falling down dead, just like Wuhan.
	It's so crazy.
	And that is because we will not share the intellectual property for the vaccine.
	So my new thinking is...
	I would like to get the vaccine, but I'm waiting until there's equitable distribution to all people of the world.
	And that's the only one I can do and say, I'm taking a stand.
	That blows.
	Okay.
	That's the dumbest thing you could possibly do.
	This is so transparently bullshit.
	Yeah.
	Now, let's just go get the Johnson& Johnson vaccine.
	It's probably as safe as any of them, and you can go see the family.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Right after you, John.
	Blow me.
	No fucking way.
	I'm not taking any of this crap.
	I'm the guy that's going to die.
	I'm the guy.
	Look at me.
	You're not going to die.
	That's the joke of it.
	You'll be the healthiest one in the group.
	Five years from now, they'll all be like, I don't know what's wrong with me.
	We were talking, and I think I'm almost done here, about how the pharmaceutical industries control the media.
	They produce the media.
	They really produce all facets of it.
	Sometimes you get a gem from a local station, a local reporter, who we probably will never hear from again, and she went to a trash heap in the Miami-Dade County and listened to what she found there.
	So many questions.
	Calvin Crissy, we're going to take you up to the top of the trash heap in just a minute.
	We're talking about millions in these ventilators.
	Remember, those were the most necessary medical equipment for the worst of the COVID patients.
	So they're trashed, they're gone, they're destroyed, and they're on video.
	That's making a lot of people really angry.
	A constant stream of waste, mattresses, tires, and at the top of Trash Mountain...
	This is what's up.
	All these ventilators.
	A resident taking garbage to the South Dade landfill last week stunned to see hundreds of brand new wrapped medical ventilators dumped as bulky trash.
	This is what is going on.
	Brand new.
	Brand new.
	They tell us here that what's dumped is usually plowed under within a day so those ventilators are probably gone.
	The video of this is boxes and boxes and boxes of completely packaged, wrapped, the bands are on it, it's clear what they are, they open them up, brand new ventilators, and I haven't forgotten that this was, you know, that Trump, you know, he's killing people, not getting ventilators, and then Trump got a million ventilators, and now they are thrown onto trash heaps unopened.
	Yeah, because it was all nonsense from the get-go.
	Of course it was.
	As you recall, when we first covered this back in March of 2020, there was also a discussion that, and we had clips, the ventilators weren't just what you needed.
	You also needed ventilator operators, which had to be trained, and there were only a limited number of those people.
	So the ventilator argument was bogus, and it was created by Mario Cuomo, and it's a huge waste of the taxpayers' money, and that pile in the garbage is an example of what kind of, what You get with guys like that.
	It's incredible.
	And I'm glad that it at least got out.
	It'll be deplatformed and removed from YouTube.
	I have an update from India.
	By the way, people should always...
	When you see videos like that, you should download them.
	There's a number of...
	There's a number of good utilities that let you do that.
	I have a huge collection of YouTube videos that I've picked up over the last couple of years.
	You go back there, you can't find these videos anymore, so you'll be the archivist for some of these videos.
	A follow-up from our producer who was talking to one of his guys in India.
	These are the guys that show up in Silicon Valley.
	They work, they go back and forth.
	And I wanted to share this note.
	I talked to one of my guys who was out for a month, tending to himself and family who had COVID. His dad ended up with COVID pneumonia and said they had a really hard time finding hospitals in India with available COVID beds.
	They ended up buying oxygen themselves and setting up a home hospital to treat his father.
	I asked him about ivermectin tablets and he got all excited.
	I knew about it.
	He said that apparently ivermectin and the steroids were prescribed to his dad and his dad started feeling better and his health returned to normal.
	We then talked about how funny it is that the U.S. news stations were treating their cremations like they were outlandish when that's just how they deal with dead people in India.
	And so when I read this, I went, hold on a second.
	He purchased oxygen?
	I thought there was a shortage.
	There's no oxygen.
	We can't get the oxygen.
	People dying.
	There's no oxygen.
	Look at this bed.
	This lady is gasping for air.
	There's no oxygen.
	So I said, could you please ask him about that instead of bearing the lead on me?
	He said, and he replied, oh yeah, and I talked to him.
	He had to go to the black market to get oxygen since the hospitals didn't have any to spare.
	Everything now in India, anything medical is times 20.
	Something that used to cost one rupee is now 20 rupees.
	I also asked about the COVID beds.
	He said, government order is to have...
	50% of beds reserved for COVID patients, but apparently hospitals are ignoring that and setting their own number, which he suspects is far less than 50%.
	This is how they did it everywhere.
	And how they still do it in the United States.
	Oh, no more beds!
	No more beds!
	But it's the number of beds that are reserved for COVID. You know, it's not as though there's no beds in the hospital.
	And there's clearly oxygen.
	The hospital has 100 beds, they reserve 5 for COVID. And then they get filled with 5, we're out of beds.
	It's incredible.
	And this has been going on since day one.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Since we've flattened the curve.
	I love how, you know, I was listening to CNN in the car, I have the Sirius XM, and, you know, it goes like this, science, science, science, we trust in the science, believe in the science, it's all science, you're crazy, science denier!
	And they cut to commercial, and it's, hey, buy superbeats, it's really healthy.
	I mean, what kind of science is the frickin' superbeats?
	Super beets.
	It's like everything is science.
	Super beets are the big thing nowadays.
	It's a bunch of dried beets.
	Don't take any ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine.
	Take your super beets because that's science.
	Super beets.
	I feel so much better.
	Just eat some beets, you dumbass.
	There is a Finnish company who has received a United States Patent Trademark Office Notice of Allowance, which I guess means it will be allowed, for a COVID-19 drug patent.
	The company's name is Therapeutica Borealis Oi, and they have created their own concoction, a novel drug which they'd like to patent.
	It includes aprotinin, hydroxychloroquine, and ivermectin, all in one.
	I didn't send you the clip, but I've been following the trials of this woman, Brianna Kylar, who is the new hard-ass...
	She's been around, though, on CNN for a while.
	She used to do weekends.
	She used to do weekends.
	She used to be, yes.
	They bumped her up, so she's getting all the good stuff, and she's taking the place of Brooke Baldwin, who quit.
	Yeah, because men.
	Men.
	Men.
	So this girl is taking over, and it was too long, a six-minute clip.
	I was trying to cut it down because I didn't have time to put on this show.
	This was from March or April of last year, and she is on a rampage about hydroxychloroquine, about what is going to kill everybody.
	Really?
	And then she brings some stooge doctor on and says, oh, it's going to kill you if you take it.
	And it's like, and then this other guy, Trump guy, comes out and says, well, you know, they've been using it for 65 years against malaria.
	That's not malaria!
	And it's just the damnedest, just a hateful woman that is a...
	Well, you put this in a newsletter, and...
	Yeah.
	So what do you think...
	She's a Delta Gamma, by the way, for you women out there.
	Hmm.
	Her head got a lot bigger than when she started.
	It's like she's been roided up.
	Her head got huge.
	She's one of those women, if she puts on one pound, it shows up on her face.
	Well, we only see that part of her during the show, so quite honestly, who knows what's going on there.
	My goodness.
	She's a terrible, terrible person.
	Which is contrary to the Delta Gamma sorority, the Delta Gamma bylaws.
	You're supposed to be a good person.
	It's very important.
	I did some research on her dossier to put it together.
	Two tabs on this one.
	I'm expecting an expose from your dossier.
	You're not going to get one, but at least we'll know what's going on.
	I just want to run a thought by you.
	Um, just rewinding the clock, which I get to do a lot these days as everything comes full circle and the same bullcrap comes by every single day.
	So, we have the, uh, you know, the elitist, uh, Davos club with the Klaus and the World Economic Forum with a great reset, which, uh, It was something that was clearly planned.
	They were thinking about it.
	And if I just look at that group, central bankers, financial ministers of finance, a bunch of douchebags, who are probably not that impressive, but they run a lot of the global financial system.
	Just looking in general at 2008 and how we blew everything up and we'll take care of it and of course our financial system has just been propping up the stock market by purchasing assets and it feels pretty phony and it feels like we're in for something bad unless some intervention is made and they can't raise rates.
	I'm no expert on this but Clearly they thought, you know what, if we can do a great reset sometime and we'll change it and we'll give this propaganda where it's okay not to own a house because they're too expensive.
	You don't really want that.
	You don't want to own anything.
	You just rent it from Amazon.
	So that was in play.
	And that probably would have made it really bad for a lot of people.
	And it still will no matter what happens.
	Then we get COVID. And COVID comes during a time when Trump has already disrupted a lot of the plans that people had.
	This was supposed to be Hillary's term.
	All of this stuff that was supposed to take place.
	And it didn't happen because Trump.
	Trump got in the way.
	And I think it's fair to say they all hated him.
	So what if...
	Trump saw this and thought to himself, and the evidence is everywhere, that COVID-19 was definitely supposed to flow into 20, 21, 22, keep people locked down.
	The only reason why that has not happened, the only reason why we're not still all scared, quaking in our books with a lack of toilet paper, is because of the vaccines.
	And the vaccines, which came under the warp speed And if you recall, many politicians, Vice President Harris even said, well, if it's coming from Trump, I'm not taking it, I don't trust it!
	Right, she said that.
	Do you think it's possible that Trump saw what was going on and that he thought, oh my God, with what these a-hole bankers want to do to blow stuff up, if we have everything locked down for one, two, three years, that's going to kill everybody.
	It's going to be horrific.
	Is it possible that he thought to himself, you know what?
	What I can do is I can just scrap all these regulations, blast that shit through, so at least we may lose 30% of the people due to crappy vaccines, but it won't be the horrific plan that they had.
	Do you think that's possible, that it might have been something like that?
	That's a good one.
	Yeah.
	I like it.
	I'd like to think it's possible.
	I don't know.
	You know, it's hard to say because we're still, information is repressed and they're still bitching about Trump's insurrection and coup attempt.
	The President of the United States tries to make a coup attempt against himself.
	Makes no sense, but okay.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's a possibility.
	Well, he did definitely upset...
	And one of the reasons I think they're still blasting him, they're still going after him.
	I have something I'm working on right now that indicates some of this being...
	By the way, John, the troll room is just exploding, calling me a QAnon, an idiot...
	Nut job, Adam Q. Curry.
	Do you think Trump's really that smart?
	A really interesting response.
	Well, that's because they've all...
	They're all vaxxed.
	They're vaxxed.
	They're all vaxxed.
	They're all vaxxed.
	They're, uh, whatever the case, you have to admit that Trump upset the apple cart.
	He came in when Hillary was supposed to get in.
	She was a shoe-in.
	They had the glass ceiling thing set up at Javits Center.
	There was going to be a big celebration because Hillary, Hillary, Hillary.
	And when she didn't get in, the whole timeline was upset.
	To an extreme.
	It's really hard to get back on track after four years of the nonsense that went on, mostly from the people attacking Trump.
	It's pretty hard to get back on track.
	And when this virus came along, coincidentally, at just the right time, out of a lab...
	Or a pangolin.
	Or it could have come from Fort Detrick, for all we know.
	Who knows?
	Well, the one theory is that it came from Fort Detrick, was sent through Toronto or Alberta.
	There's some virology places there that created these things, and it got shipped to China.
	And then China picked it up, and finished it, and then released it.
	But that's asking for too much.
	That's too much.
	I'm just going back to...
	I'm just going back and thinking about how none of the Democrats wanted this Trump vaccine.
	What is he doing?
	It's dangerous.
	This is unconscionable.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	That actually is a...
	You may have stumbled onto something by just...
	Yeah, because the vaccine, if he could accomplish what he did accomplish, which was get this thing done by the end of the year, which he did, and they all poo-pooed it.
	Ah, no chance, you need seven years, you need ten years, you need two years, you need this year and that year.
	And then he ramrodded it through, it screwed them up.
	And the greed of Pfizer took over at that point.
	Pfizer?
	Yes, Pfizer didn't care one way or the other.
	Who's president?
	They're just happy to be alive.
	Anyway, it was just a thought that occurred to me.
	That's a good thought.
	It's a no-agenda thought.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who just put the C in coup attempt, John C. Dvorak, everybody!
	In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.
	You heard me talking about them.
	I love them no matter what they say.
	I just think it's always interesting how they respond sometimes.
	You can find the trolls and become one.
	Adam Q. Curry.
	And become one.
	I like that.
	At noagendastream.com.
	Hands up there, trolls.
	Let me count y'all.
	Let me see what we have on the...
	We have 1764.
	All right.
	It's not too bad for a Thursday.
	1,764 trolls listening along and trolling in the troll room.
	You go in there, you can do all kinds of cool stuff, like chat and listen to live shows.
	There's a lot of live shows, and you can listen to podcasts at the same time.
	It's like a listening party, only with trolls.
	And they will probably tell you that it's a good place to, a good idea to check out noagendasocial.com, which is our federated social network.
	This thing is worthwhile.
	The past three days, and I just look at my own behavior, there's three things I go to.
	I go to podcastindex.social, then I'll hit the Twitters, and then I hit noagenda.social, and I linger the longest.
	Is it noagenda.show.com?
	I can't even remember.
	noagendasocial.com.
	There we go.
	I'm confused.
	You okay?
	No.
	Noagendasocial.com.
	The stuff that is coming in there, because it floats in from the Fediverse.
	It's from all different...
	Oh, it's better than Twitter.
	It's so much better than Twitter.
	Oh, yeah.
	I mean, it's really good.
	I get more memes for the newsletter from there.
	I get some good tips and good links.
	The memes are good, definitely.
	The memes are good.
	Yeah, because the memes are meaner.
	And they're not thrown off.
	You know, that's what I like.
	You know what's really interesting?
	How many people report other people on noagendasocial.com?
	He's anti-ditch.
	This is racist.
	It's like a lot of you are narcing on each other.
	It's a little scary.
	Well, you have to imagine that's what goes on at Twitter, but Twitter does something about it.
	People narc on each other on No Agenda Social.
	You better realize that Adam looks at that and you're now on the enemy's list.
	I look at it and go, I shake my head like, why are you reporting that?
	And if it's from a different Mastodon, you can block, you can mute, you can do all kinds of things.
	If someone bothers you, I don't need you to be my moral police force.
	I got no time for it.
	It's funny.
	I have to relate a Disney management story.
	That floats around.
	This is a story that came out of Imagineering, I think, down in Florida.
	And it goes like this.
	It may or may not even be a true story, but this is something everyone's aware of.
	The situation occurs, you have two guys working for each other, or working next to each other, and one guy was just a slacker, and he was stealing pencils.
	He was just a horrible employee.
	And so this one guy, the other guy sitting next to him was fed up, and he listed all his grievances about this guy screwing up, took it to the boss, said, look, this guy, he's a terrible employee, you've got to fire him.
	Instead, they fired the complainer.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore, but yeah.
	We don't need complainers.
	And by the way, in a true advancement to any other big tech interface, you can mute or block someone with a time.
	You can have it time out after a couple of days or hours.
	There's all kinds of really interesting things that you can do to protect your own sanity.
	Now, if you see something that's clearly spammed, like a bot that comes in...
	Oh yeah, that's got to go.
	But the system itself reports that.
	I mean, the system already notices if someone's spamming the same message, it'll pop up.
	It's just interesting how many people narc.
	Anyway, I do want everyone to check out the new Podcasting 2.0 apps.
	To keep podcasting open and free of censorship.
	In case you hadn't noticed, everything is getting cracked down on.
	Joe Rogan has issues at Spotify.
	Apple doesn't even seem to work for most people anymore.
	They're completely, they've really screwed up this release.
	It'll shake out eventually, but some people haven't even been able to access their Podcast Connect interface for two weeks.
	And other apps are breaking.
	It's a mess.
	It's a shit show there.
	We had an unfortunate deletion, Animated No Agenda, which Dame Jennifer did, and she really took just a piece of us playing two clips, and this was about the McClintock effect,
	and this was the shedding, or whatever it is, and in fact, we were only curious and asking questions in this clip about, hey, what is going on that women are having these menstrual reactions, Seemingly around people who are vaccinated, especially women.
	And that got deleted by YouTube for medical misinformation.
	And today I'd like to say hello to CurioCaster, who said, hold my beer, and now has the animated No Agenda series as a podcast in that podcast app with video, Ready to go.
	Good for you, too.
	And it's a web app, so you don't even have to download anything.
	You just go to curiocaster.com and you can see everything.
	Non-deplatformable by any Silicon Valley company.
	That's the kind of freedom that we're fighting for.
	If you want to see that app and more, go to...
	Freedom fighters!
	Yes!
	And you know what?
	Well, it's interesting you say that.
	The developers who are working on this, they are freedom fighters.
	And what's interesting about software developers, it's kind of like military personnel, you know, well, support the troops!
	I support the developers!
	But no one actually wants to know what you do or really gives a flying fuck about you.
	So people need to respect developers who do this stuff.
	And if something doesn't work, you have a question, don't be like, You can be a part of the process.
	And you can help them make it better.
	That's how we obtain freedom.
	And that's how you know a gender show will stay on the air.
	Believe me.
	Believe me.
	If we had been on any other platform and we had that conversation, we would be gone.
	And quite frankly, I'm surprised that Apple still has us on at this point.
	You know, it's incredible.
	Well, all you have to do is listen to a couple of Sophia with an F podcasts.
	Yeah.
	And she's so lewd.
	Not dishonestly lewd, or she's like a dirty comic.
	It's just the material that she discusses.
	It's so out there that she's going to go before we do.
	Well, doesn't she have a Spotify deal?
	She does?
	I thought she had a Spotify deal.
	I could be wrong.
	I could be wrong.
	Well, it wouldn't surprise me.
	I mean, if I was Spotify, she's...
	Well, you know what I think?
	I think she's a genius.
	Yes, of course.
	You'd pick her up right away.
	I can barely listen to her podcast because it's like it's cringy because she's so...
	It's cringy, he says.
	It is cringy in a funny kind of a way.
	Listen to it.
	You'll see what I'm talking about.
	Yeah, I know.
	I think for women it's less cringy than it is for men.
	Hmm.
	Well, let us move on and thank our artists who participated in this grand experiment.
	And just so you know, we're on the air and we don't take any money from the pharmaceutical industry.
	That's why we can produce what we want to produce.
	No advertisers, but certainly not creepy advertisers like that.
	It's all based upon the three Ts for our value-for-value model.
	Your time, your talent, your treasure.
	You help us produce it.
	Why are you laughing?
	Because you gave them the V4V model.
	We have all these models and they're always involving three things.
	V4V, TTT. I mean, it's always three.
	It's always the trinity.
	I find it amusing that you keep dropping these bombs constantly.
	It's called mind control.
	It's called NLP. I'm an expert.
	Back off.
	You're getting there.
	Artist, when you can snatch the pebbles from my hand, it will be time for you to leave.
	We love our artists who create just a smorgasbord for us to choose from after every episode.
	So artists are listening at their job, at home, whatever they're doing, in real time, hear the topics, hear what's going on, select something, start to make art.
	Some submit multiple versions and it is one of the best marketing tools for any podcast to have fresh album art that shows up And, you know, it jumps out at you.
	We're seeing the same old logos, everyone's podcast.
	Oh, it's dumb.
	Well, you know, most people don't have a budget for this.
	Most people don't have the talent for this.
	We have chosen for a model where it's much easier for that to be created.
	And what we received for episode 1343, which, as you know, was titled The McClintock Effect...
	Was Parker a guy or a girl?
	I don't know.
	Parker seems like a guy name.
	Seems like a girl name.
	I know two Parkers in Austin who are guys, so I'm just going to...
	Okay, let's put on a guy then.
	...who created the very fashionable Pfizer handbag, which was meant to show that the only hot people, the in people, the happening people, only people who stand in lines for iPhones got the Pfizer shot.
	Wow!
	How about that for an idea?
	The reason why vaccinations are tapering off is just like a new iPhone.
	Now, one of our producers sent me a note because I'm moaning about the millennial standing in line.
	The story I had about the one behind me and she wouldn't move forward.
	She only had a bottle of wine.
	I had a big cart full of stuff and she wouldn't move ahead.
	His theory is that millennials have been trained to stand in line and like it, and they really enjoy it.
	They like to be in lines.
	And then he pointed out the iPhone line being a good example.
	And you can also, even though it's not millennials so much, but the days of the old disco where there's a line...
	You know, if there was a line in front of the club, you would want to go and get in that line rather than just go into a club that was open, which has always been the opposite of the way I do things.
	If I can't get in the back door or get right in, I'm not going to stand in line and just wait.
	I mean, I'd rather not.
	I'd rather watch TV. He's a backdoor man.
	He says that these millennials...
	And I think when they talk about...
	You know, once they...
	Had these vaccination sites with these long, mile-long car lines and the media was showing these long, long lines.
	I think that withdrew.
	It drew people to them.
	Oh, there's a long line.
	Let's get in it.
	Yes.
	And I like the addition of, it's the new iPhone.
	It's the Pfizer.
	Because that's the conversation.
	Yeah, the iPhone's the best example.
	There's a video on my YouTube page of all these videos.
	You have a YouTube page?
	I've got a lot of videos on it, too.
	And I have one some years ago where I just took my...
	My little video recorder was a camera.
	And I just walked down the entire line of an iPhone line.
	And you could hear people talking and chatting and some people sitting down in his chairs they brought with him.
	And I find it to be fascinating.
	So if they really want to do this, this is what my recommendation would be.
	If they really want to roll it out to more people, they've got to come out with the new.
	Like the new vaccine, the new Pfizer.
	Everyone will start rushing out for that.
	Well, somewhere along the lines, these Pfizer geniuses, marketing geniuses, dropped the ball with all of a sudden there's too much and now they had to throw it away.
	They had to keep it in a shortage situation like an iPhone.
	And they had these lines.
	These lines, I think, were part of the reason it was working so well.
	Yeah, the message, what they don't want is the messaging.
	Well, there's plenty of supply.
	No, no one wants that iPhone.
	No, exactly.
	They screwed up when they switched from, you're going to have to wait in an hour-long line to get it, to just walk into Walgreens.
	So is the Johnson& Johnson is the android of vaccines?
	Is that how we look at it now?
	Yeah, the viral vector vaccine is the android.
	Thank you very much, Parker.
	It was spot on.
	A lot of people responded to it very positively.
	I'm looking through the...
	There wasn't a lot of Other great art that really tickled us...
	You know, there's some cryptic stuff, like Mike Riley had...
	Dvorak's...
	You know, when you title your art, and you need the title to understand what it is, it's not working.
	You know, it was like a...
	Was it like a glass of wine, a knife?
	It was like, eh, that didn't work.
	Um...
	Well, sometimes I think, I have to say that I think some of the artists just do it for their own amusement and for the amusement of the other artists.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Well, and that's appreciated because that's funny.
	And some people do protest art.
	I like protest art.
	Bitching about our previous election.
	I do like that.
	That's pretty funny.
	Oh, man, man, man.
	That's noagendaartgenerator.com.
	Parker Pauly, thank you once again for doing that for us.
	And as you were listening to this in a podcasting 2.0 app, you can see these chapters rolling by.
	There's lots of these versions of art, and I think you'd probably even click on the link and click through to them.
	That's the revolution that we're bringing while protecting podcasting from the ruling classes of the media elite and the big tech.
	Screw those guys, too.
	Now let's thank some of the people who brought the treasure to the party.
	We'd like to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers right up front.
	That's what they do.
	If you look at any Hollywood production, you've got those credits coming up.
	That's what they did.
	They helped finance it.
	And these people are important, and we're going to thank them right now.
	Yeah, starting with Andy Cracciolo, or Cracciolo.
	I think it's Cracciolo.
	Baron Crack from Phoenix.
	He actually gave us some money last show.
	Sounds right.
	666.66.
	Ooh.
	And we had botched his note, or I had botched his note, or we didn't...
	I don't know.
	But he's got another note to tell us what we did wrong.
	Yeah.
	And he says, I was listening to my donation on the last show and heard you say I wasn't in your system yet.
	Just a quick info to update your profile of me.
	Also, I am not a Bitcoin millionaire yet, but I am surely hoping to be one with a big jump in price.
	Alright, good, good, good.
	So is Adam.
	So I think I'm at 6333.32 plus a penny from Adam on show 1305.
	You had said I was in your system and you insta-baroned me, so I thought this would help.
	I think I was barren, and now Viscount, so I think he's going to be upgraded.
	And wait for it, I'm donating another 666.66, need a penny, to have donated $7,000 in just six months, which is not bad.
	No, it's not bad at all.
	Not bad.
	Of course not.
	Could you update the region map?
	I'm not sure if you're still doing that.
	Well, it's a catch-catch-catch-can-catch-can-can-can-catch basis.
	If you're not, no big deal.
	I just think it looks rad.
	Yes, it's actually quite cute.
	I was also very serious about doing a meetup with you both if you have interest.
	You probably don't.
	No, we might.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	What is this?
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
	What is this meet up with the two of us you speak of?
	He wants to fly us into, I think, Casablanca.
	Really?
	Oh, now the meetup sounds good.
	You probably don't, but in case you do, feel free to reach out.
	Casablanca?
	Seriously?
	I'll take care of you two.
	Take care, you two.
	I'm on my way to Grand Duke.
	Nice.
	Thank you very much, Andy.
	Barren crack.
	And anonymous from Durham, North Carolina.
	$500.
	Adam and John.
	Long time on and off listener.
	First time donor.
	Finally showing support for what you do with my wallet as well as reaching out to the Value for Value community for some help.
	Ah, here we go.
	A couple weeks back, our immobile infant returned from his daycare with what we learned to be burns on his chest.
	Oh man, this is good.
	What is this note?
	Upon deeper evaluation, some questionable evidence of a head injury was also found by medical professionals.
	We are certain neither of these happened in our care.
	In part due to zero admission of an incident or fault from the daycare, the county government is now encroaching on our rights and lives, accusing my wife and I and or I as the obvious abusers.
	Holy shit.
	We've been subjected to what we feel is massive government overreach and a lack of proper reaction to the truly responsible parties.
	We are in legal holding pattern that feels like purgatory and disallowed from being alone with our children.
	What?
	This is nuts.
	We are scared they will push to remove our two young boys from our home and or force them into an alternative care due to our refusal of both interviewing our three-year-old son without our presence as well as our refusal of a second set of full-body x-rays.
	Which is 22.
	And senseless radiation on our infant.
	He already had one set.
	22.
	They found nothing.
	While we've already retained a local attorney, I'm hoping someone listening can provide additional help to get us out of this hell.
	This is all happening in Durham County, North Carolina.
	If either Adam or John are willing to be the intermediary to connect us in order to keep this anonymous, it would be greatly appreciated.
	Whew.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	And give me heaps of karma, and I'd love to hear Al Sharpton's Respects, Anonymous in Durham.
	Well, that is a pickle, isn't it?
	Welcome to, hey, let's get these kids in the daycare.
	Yeah, this is...
	And you hear of these things happening in the UK in particular.
	This happens a lot with their child protective services.
	And there's definitely some of that in the United States, but holy crap.
	The best thing we can do right now is to say, go to noagendasocial.com.
	You can register anonymously and...
	You can start a conversation there.
	We do have a lot of lawyers and professionals who listen to the show.
	I'm sure someone is very willing to help.
	No Agenda Nation to the rescue.
	and here's what we can do.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T You've got karma. music Meanwhile, Sir Pat the Prick comes in with $444.44.
	Hmm.
	From Sir Pat the Prick, it's been a number of years since my last donation.
	However, this one's from my brother Michael, nicknamed Lomo.
	About a month ago, Michael passed away unexpectedly at the age of 30.
	Ugh.
	Hmm.
	We're not sure why.
	Likely a blood clot.
	I'd hit him in the mouth three or four times on our...
	I hope he's not going to douchebag him.
	He's a poor guy.
	I hope so.
	I hit him in the mouth three or four times on our...
	We had nothing but...
	We did two bad notes in a row.
	Yeah.
	Or depressing notes.
	Not bad.
	On our drive to California in January, after convincing him to move from our hometown of St.
	Louis Mo, we spent our 33-hour drive, yes, it was about that long, with stops for gas, laughing, arguing, and having deep conversations over the show on our way to our new chapter in our life.
	Among the thousands of other things that will remind me of Michael, no agenda is now among on that list.
	This is likely selfish, but hopefully this note will put his name further out into the universe, and if it's only for people listening that hear his name, that might still bring some comfort and closure to me.
	But on the selfish part, quote, I think, we have already hit our goal of throwing him a three-day bash in May.
	However...
	However, any additional contributions any producers would consider making will go directly to the yearly scholarship for students at the University of Missouri, Mizzou.
	There will also be a yearly sporting event to keep that scholarship going.
	This is a nice idea.
	I intend to link to No Agenda Meetups as well.
	If any producers are willing to donate to his GoFundMe, search Michael Vito Lomantini or Lomo, Michael Vito, L-O-M-A-N-T-I-N-I or Lomo, I can't thank you and John enough, Adam and John enough, for keeping me sane all these years.
	I am forever grateful for the last few months I was able to spend with my brother bonding over this podcast amongst Amongst all we had already had.
	Hug your loved ones and a karma for all who need it.
	And best Sir Pat the Prick.
	I will also link to the GoFundMe below.
	As well as...
	We can put it on the...
	Yeah, no, we'll put that in the credits.
	We'll link his name to it.
	As well as the scholarship notes in an email.
	Show notes maybe.
	GoFundMe.
	And he's got the little thing there.
	We'll put it in there.
	Well, that's nice, man.
	I'm glad that the show is a part of that.
	And that...
	That's actually better than the money.
	I love hearing these things.
	Thank you very much.
	You've got karma.
	Then we have Michael Perham from Troy, Illinois, 34410.
	ITM C&B, I did the math and now I am destined for knighthood.
	Just like the good old days, I'm buying my peerage.
	God didn't make me royalty, but my treasure will.
	Excuse me.
	After Adam was on the Tom Woods show, I made a quick $33.33 donation.
	Tom Woods donation.
	But I now know you need more treasure.
	With $344.10, I am crossing the $1,000 mark.
	I wanted my executive producer for this show and also got the knighthood.
	I will henceforth go by the title SirMike44JRNotBS.
	John Riggins was my chosen archetype of a fullback and not mistaken for the 44th president, Barry Sotero.
	Chicago deep dish and bourbon beer, please.
	Got it ordered for the round table.
	This is a better use of my ammo buying sugar baby money.
	I would like R2-D2 karma and anything making fun of Bo Jiden.
	This will be the only time I kneel down to any man.
	Don't eat me, Bo Jiden.
	You're scary.
	So scary.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Thanks.
	Kyle Rankin, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
	344.
	John and Adam, I love this show and love the value for value model.
	I've been searching for something to provide in a treasure format that would be unique and original.
	Now, that's not an excuse.
	I'm set up on a recurring weekly donation.
	I did a limited one-time donation of 33.33, which included an official podcast license signed by Mr.
	Adam Curry, although I'm still waiting for it.
	If I can just say, that was never true.
	You got a podcast license at podcastlicense.com, which had a certificate with my signature on it, and all of that shit broke.
	The database is still there, but it's all broke.
	So I have to have someone fix it.
	I'm on it.
	Anyway, we haven't made that offer for years.
	Years.
	Anyway, in episode, and he says anyway.
	Which is incorrect English now.
	In episode 1319, there was a report about a challenge coin being issued in celebration of shooting a man in the groin.
	Left Nut.
	Yes.
	It was also the ISO for the show, Good Night Left Nut, and listed in the clips as JCC's best laugh ever.
	Both of you found this hysterical, as did I, and mentioned getting your hands on one.
	I don't remember this.
	He's talking about specifically a challenge coin.
	Yeah, I remember that.
	Oh, no, the challenge coin, right.
	The challenge coin was being passed around by the police.
	Yeah, shooting the guy in the left nut.
	Well, I searched all over hoping that someone would release one and offer it for sale.
	No, they just did it privately.
	But I came up empty and after weeks of searching, the only mention of the coin was in the original news article.
	So I decided it may have never existed, by the way.
	The news people do shit like that.
	Yeah.
	To humiliate the police.
	So I decided to recreate it and have them custom made as long as my donation at 344 as a present to you.
	And he sent a couple of these.
	It's a little challenge coin.
	It's got a guy holding his groin.
	Making America Great Again, one nut at a time.
	Good night, left nut.
	Challenge coin.
	There is one for each of you.
	I haven't seen the photo.
	I want my challenge coin.
	I don't know why.
	Okay, I'm going to stop right here.
	I am not Adam's back office.
	Please stop sending me stuff to send to Adam.
	When you went to the trouble of dropping it off, you could send it to Adam directly.
	He has a post office box.
	He gives it away freely.
	It's a note of, I hate to tell you this, but it's a slight note of laziness.
	Send it to John Hegan, send it to Adam.
	I don't have time.
	My post office is one of these, I wouldn't say it's poorly managed.
	It's well managed enough that most of the mail comes through.
	But there's a line often at this post office.
	I'm really...
	And sometimes the line's a half an hour.
	So you're asking me to take a half an hour away from producing the show to stand in line to send Adam something that you could have sent him.
	Wow.
	It's true, though.
	And for some reason, an old P.O. box of mine is out there and people don't check.
	And that's a P.O. box from 10 years ago.
	But the correct P.O. box is 1-8-2-0-9...
	So it's P.O. Box 18209, Austin, Texas, 78760.
	That's it.
	Anyway, will you send that one to me, John?
	Because I kind of want that one really bad.
	You want it really bad?
	I want it really bad, baby.
	Yes, I will package it up and drop it in a box.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Anyway, Make America Great One Night at a Time.
	By the way, the...
	El Cerrito Post Office Box is for donations and cards and notes.
	There's one for each of you and they attach photos in the email.
	You have the photo, I guess.
	I hope you enjoyed as much as me.
	Sincerely, Kyle Rank, Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
	And then he's got some stuff we don't need to read.
	Well, thank you, Kyle.
	I can't wait to support this Challenge Coins, and thank you for supporting the best podcast in the universe.
	That is very much appreciated.
	And you can openly sell them.
	You don't need our permission.
	Correct.
	Because it's about the one nut guy.
	It's got nothing to do with us, really.
	Daniel Langman comes up.
	He's surveyor of the realm in Victoria, BC. 3-3-3-3-3.
	And he has this nice note.
	He's one of the best.
	ITM, gentlemen, thank you for your courage.
	Karma for all.
	I think we could all use some.
	Daniel Langman, surveyor of the realm.
	Perfect note.
	Well done.
	You've got karma.
	Oh, here's Dame Jennifer.
	Dame Jennifer, who contributes to this show in so many ways, is still supporting us with 3333.
	She's in Charleston, South Carolina.
	Dame Jennifer.
	So kind.
	In the morning, gentlemen, I resisted opening with my all-time favorite, which is, hey, guys!
	But here I am typing it out anyway.
	I would really appreciate some finding new awesome clients karma as my biggest one, and I are consciously uncoupling...
	With a divorce, that is probably not my best idea financially.
	She is going through a divorce.
	But it will definitely be a great thing for my continued mental health.
	I know it will eventually be fine.
	Wild uncertainty breeds ingenuity, which leads to success, right?
	Please say I'm right.
	She says, please say, yes, you're right.
	Necessity is a mother invention.
	Luck is where opportunity meets preparation.
	And these are all good.
	Yeah.
	As always, oh, holy moly.
	I've got Pabst Blue Ribbon on my mind.
	And we continue.
	I know it will eventually be fine.
	Wild uncertainty breeds ingenuity, which leads to success.
	As always, thank you both for all of the incredible producers and all the incredible producers for this amazing show and the wonderful community that has grown around it.
	And many thanks to the very generous donors to Animated No Agenda that allow me to continue to share the wealth with the best podcast in the universe.
	Yeah, we need to roll out some big-ass jobs for Dame Jennifer.
	You can find her on No Agenda Social as well.
	And you can see her work.
	Her work is outstanding.
	Yeah.
	She's a woman of taste and talent.
	Yes.
	And she'll do vaccine stuff, too.
	Doesn't matter.
	She has no shame.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Anything that pays the bills.
	Thank you, Dame Jennifer.
	Andrew Christensen in Montgomery, Texas.
	333.33, same as Dame Jennifer's.
	My wife and I think your show is so good.
	How good is it?
	It's good!
	It makes normal suburban life seem boring.
	I'm really not understanding that sentence, but okay.
	Wait a minute.
	So, the two of us...
	Never go anywhere!
	Our at home, old dudes, we're less boring than anything?
	That's great.
	I'm not sure.
	I'm really not sure what that means.
	We look forward to every show.
	Well, that's a plus.
	Please give my wife, Gretchen, a birthday shout-out.
	She's on the list as she turns 33, another 33 on 33, on May 14th.
	This donation is for her.
	Okay, we'll credit her then.
	And make the switcheroo, please.
	And in order to make us square with the IRS, would you please plug her high-end children's boutique?
	Snipsandsnails.org.
	That's snipsandsnails, all one word, dot org.
	All No Agenda listeners get an extra 15% off.
	Just send her a note.
	No novels.
	And she will set up your human resources with a special occasion outfit.
	Thank you for what you do, and thank you to all the other producers.
	Can we get an old brother from John?
	An old brother.
	Love and light, the Christensen family, Montgomery, Texas.
	Oh, and I'm looking at what a beautiful family you are, Christiansons.
	What do they sell?
	Oh, well, they sell, let's see, it's for kids.
	It's for, I'd say, I don't know what the ages are, but it looks like six, seven, maybe a little bit older.
	They got the spring.
	It's nice, you know, pretty frocks and shirts and pajamas and kid stuff.
	It's nice.
	And they have a monogram, embroidery.
	It's all there.
	Snipsandsnails.org.
	Okay.
	Of course, we will put that in there.
	And thank you.
	Cody Brown from Chandler, Arizona.
	Comes in with 333.33.
	Hello, friends.
	I'm just Cody, age 30.
	Started listening to No Agenda toward the end of 2020.
	Hit in the mouth by Scott Pickles at the Farmer's Market.
	I was hoping to find a way to keep up with the craziness in the world without...
	Scott Pickles.
	Hey, Scott.
	I was hoping to find a way to keep up with the craziness in the world without needing to dedicate serious time to decipher the M5M lies.
	You guys have been mentioning the chip shortage, so I want to share my perspective on it.
	Yes, this is what producers do.
	I work in the industrial automation world where the chip shortages are hitting us everywhere.
	Servo drives, touch screens.
	What's a PLC? What is happening is that consumer demand for products is rising, but at the same time, there are massive labor shortages because of COVID restrictions.
	Out here in Arizona, we are also seeing tons of companies move in, but the labor force has not followed yet.
	It's the people with money who are moving first.
	This is leading to a huge demand for industrial automation, which uses a lot of chips.
	Every individual machine builder is swamped with work.
	These companies are called integrators.
	And a lot of it is to make machines for different COVID test manufacturers.
	You know, by the way, there's a chip shortage?
	Go get those ventilators out of this dump.
	I was going to say.
	Take the chips off them.
	The guy down at the chip shop swears he's Elvis.
	Here we go.
	This is leading to a huge demand.
	They call these companies integrators, and a lot of it is to make machines for different COVID test manufacturers.
	Note is already too long, but wanted to share something interesting about hail damage as well.
	An old friend's dad actually made a solid $100,000 plus dollar living by working only a couple weeks a year, fixing hail damage.
	Car dealerships around the country would hire him to come out after hailstorms.
	He would basically disassemble the entire interior of every car, pop out the dents by hand.
	Quite the skill that not many people have.
	Every time you guys mention mutton and meat, I want to send you a bottle.
	I own a small meadery in Arizona.
	Nice.
	A meadery in Arizona.
	Oh, John, you mentioned he hasn't had a good mead in a long time.
	I have not.
	I think it was a metaphor, but okay.
	No, no, I have not had a good mead.
	I mean, you just have a dirty mind.
	I do.
	He hasn't had a good mead in a long time.
	So I wonder if sending a bottle to the P.O. Box, I don't think you can send alcohol to the P.O. Box, can you?
	Well, no, you said, okay, a little tip here.
	For one thing, send me an email, I'll give you my address.
	Me too, me too.
	I want to meet up.
	Okay, we need a meet-up.
	He's so fast.
	You send it as vinegar, or a very famous importer who used to be a veterinarian used to ship wine all the time, and he told me that he'd send everything out as liniment.
	Okay.
	I like pre-vinegar.
	It could work, too.
	But vinegar...
	Actually, there is always some vinegar in every wine, believe it or not, with rare exceptions.
	And there'd be some in me too.
	But you ship it out as vinegar and then you're good to go.
	Screw it.
	I want it straight to my home.
	I don't want to have to walk for my mead.
	So, any jingles or anything in there?
	No, but I'm going to give him a karma just for the meetup joke that you made.
	You've got karma.
	Julian Erickson in East Boston, Massachusetts.
	Let me take the next two because there's one coming up that you need to read.
	Yes, I see.
	Julian Erickson in East Boston, Massachusetts.
	That's 333.33.
	Requesting big deal karma for a huge contract to close in the next month.
	Customer has been dancing with us for nine months.
	So hoping this karma pushes him over the edge.
	You need a closer.
	Please give Jeremiah Lambo a massive douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	He has been freeloading a freeloading douchebag and deserves all the consternation associated with said douchery.
	Love and light, Julian.
	Okay, so I guess you need a big deal karma.
	We got a big deal karma right here for you.
	You've got karma.
	Answer Dave, Duke, Dave Fugizotto, Duke of America's Heartland of the Arabian Peninsula from Saudi Arabia, actually, even though he's headquartered in Gladstone, Missouri, 333.33.
	My annual Mother's Day donation of 111.11 for each of my favorite mothers, Dame Melody, her mom, Yolanda, a.k.a.
	Lola, and my mom, Pauline, a.k.a.
	Mimi, but not your Mimi, John.
	Please don't confuse them.
	Oh, No, let's not have that happen.
	They're pretty stinking awesome, and I love them all.
	Quick update on the latest company shenanigans.
	Oh, bro.
	Okay, here we go.
	This sounds like a repeat of a previous update.
	Something screwy about this, by the way.
	He says, we didn't get fired on April 30th, despite their having told us so.
	Now...
	Who will apparently be fired on the 20th of May.
	To prepare as you read this, I'm on a flight to Sri Lanka for two weeks.
	Huh.
	So we got out.
	Yeah, sounds like it.
	Because I figure they can't get their fecal material collected enough to tell us when they're going to actually fire us.
	I can't be bothered by sticking around until they do.
	I'm going on holiday.
	If there are any Sri Lankan producers out there, hit me up.
	JC's best friend is a Sri Lankan.
	Cheers, fellas, and please dole out some travel and jobs karma for all who need it, especially my teammates.
	Dave Fugisoto, Duke of America's Heartland and the Arabian Peninsula, and perhaps Sri Lanka, if they'll have me.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Yes, Sir Dave, and get your ass stateside, ma'am.
	We want to see you here, too.
	You and the fam.
	Ginzo Shimura has violated the rules.
	And now, the violation of the rules is giving us a script and then saying, oh, play this jingle here and play that one there.
	And typically, no, if we would see that again, since we already said this was inappropriate, we would have rejected it.
	Now, in this case...
	He went through a lot of trouble and produced stuff that we don't have.
	Six different jingles and a script.
	So I don't know why, but I'm going to do it.
	But this will never, ever, ever happen again.
	This is the last time.
	I'm protesting this.
	I know you're protesting it.
	Yeah.
	But...
	Now, this is the co-host of Canary Cry News Talk, Sir Basil, Night of the Warmicorn, and Sir Gon's Night of the Samurai Babies.
	So I guess they have a podcast, and this may be some of their stuff.
	I'm just going to roll with it, but I'm never going to do it again.
	So consider this the closer.
	ITM A&J, Basil and Gons here from the Canary Cry News Talk.
	This donation of 333.33 is in celebration of our 333rd podcast episode.
	Ever since the plandemic, we increased the frequency of our shows to three times a week.
	And thanks to the Value for Value model, our producers have sustained this schedule for almost 200 episodes.
	It works.
	We are proud to say that our new format is heavily influenced by the best podcast in the universe.
	Shout out to not only the wonderful producers, knights and dames of the Noah Jenna Show, but also to our incredible producers of the Canarium and the knights and dames of the Canary Cry Roundtable.
	Holy crap!
	Sounds like we have a replicated system.
	That's very interesting.
	The value for value model works so we don't have to shill waffle makers like Ben Shapiro.
	Everybody loves waffles.
	And no agenda listeners with an interest in tracking the robot takeover might appreciate our flippy updates.
	Do you want fries with that?
	Or perhaps tracking the beast system.
	Of course we call out Daddy Fauci's lies.
	Science is truth.
	Which is not scientific statement.
	Track our hairy-legged president and keep up with what China is up to.
	Oh, I almost did it all.
	I failed on that one fader.
	Here we go.
	And now you know why we'll never do this again.
	For any No Agenda listeners out there who have never heard of us consider your cage rattled, please look up Canary Cry News Talk on your favorite podcasting 2.0 app.
	And yes, we do accept sats currently migrating to our own Raspberry Pi Lightning Node.
	Love it.
	We try to make a habit of preaching the good news of the gospel or reporting the egregious with a well-rounded, biblically-grounded take on world events.
	Thanks for all you guys do and for revealing the super-economic model of the value for value.
	Keep up the great work.
	No jingles, no karma.
	God bless, and remember to think outside the cage.
	You know, so that's why I thought I would do this for the one last time because nothing makes me happier than seeing podcasters grasping onto something that no conference has ever asked us to come speak about.
	No interviewers ever.
	There's not a single podcasting entity has given a shit about what we're doing ever and these guys go and do it and it's successful.
	I remember years ago I had lunch with Jen Briney as I was getting her into this model.
	And she once said to me, you know, I learn more from just sitting with you for an hour over lunch than all these podcasting meetups, all these conferences.
	We're never invited.
	I've never been invited to any of them.
	Or even asked to attend as a journalist to cover it, but yet they still put them on, and they're always the same.
	They promote advertising and stupid ideas that are unworkable on a small scale.
	Yes, whereas the value-for-value model, if you can get a thousand people listening, you can probably do pretty well if you apply our model, which will be in our book and DVD course.
	Yes, we'll be doing seminars.
	Actually, you could probably make a good bit of quick money doing some seminars.
	Now, can you imagine you and I doing a seminar together?
	This would be horrible.
	I think you'd be surprised how good it would be.
	Do you think we'd joke and do everything?
	No, I think we'd seriously introduce the models and then we'd talk in between.
	I did a thing with Leo once, just a presentation.
	And I said, I don't know why you're Leo.
	But the thing was that when we both went on stage, it turned out to be extremely entertaining, working together as two professionals that know how to work on stage.
	And it just worked out like it was great.
	And I think you and I would be even better.
	Is this a possible exit strategy?
	No, because these seminars are flashes in the pan.
	You could do like a series, and then you really don't want to do it more than once or twice.
	I just want to be on stage with two of those money guns.
	Pfft!
	You're shooting dollar bills into the crowd.
	Stick with us!
	Get that dollar bill gun.
	Yeah!
	Well, it's a possibility.
	If this podcasting thing...
	We have some dancing girls.
	We'd have dancing girls.
	Now, not exactly.
	Dancing girls, maybe some close magic, just for the heck of it.
	Oh, we get a close-up magician.
	Yeah, and then...
	Those guys are the best.
	But then, at the end...
	We can have Brushwood do his act.
	Yes, and then at the end...
	At the end...
	You know what we do right?
	At the end we all get on stage...
	Hey now, y'all.
	Can we just get real?
	Do we really care about our fans or is this just another deal?
	We all gotta sing it, baby.
	Said another way that we lost our way.
	Here we go.
	Social's about the people.
	Remember?
	Welcome, everybody.
	Ah, people.
	Do we really need another like, fan, or share?
	What the hell?
	Get to the chorus.
	Let's get social.
	Let's get social media.
	Woo!
	Mary McCormick!
	We have plenty of games out there that can sing off-key.
	Not a problem.
	Yeah, let's get social with social media.
	Well, let's get social with Sir Rick out of Arlington, Washington, who also comes in with 333.33.
	And he sends an actual note, a physical note.
	You can tell I have it here.
	Yes, you do.
	And he says, peerage change.
	This is a quick note to claim my new peerage level of Earl.
	Accounting attached.
	And he sent it like a 10 page for accounting.
	If permitted by the peerage committee, I would like to expand my territory to include the rest of Washington State minus Seattle and the rest of King County.
	Seattle, no good.
	Good idea.
	We're not responsible for the homeless.
	Someone with far more patience than I possess will have to deal with the steaming pile of dung.
	He's talking about The human poop that's over.
	Yes.
	Thank you, San Francisco.
	Keep up the good work.
	No jingles, no karma.
	Best wishes to Rick Earl of Washington State.
	Pending.
	Yes.
	And any rights in handwriting.
	You are appreciated.
	Yes, that is going to happen, of course.
	We'll do that today during our second donation segment.
	Since we're just talking about a whole bunch of things...
	Expanding this and making something out of it.
	You know, we had Proposition B pass in Austin, which means by May 11th it has to be enforced.
	There was no more camping in unapproved places, which is pretty much everywhere in Austin.
	So I took a drive through downtown after this Prop B vote, and I will say that downtown, a lot of tents are already gone.
	People are already seeing the writing on the wall.
	However, some group staged a real...
	You can find it on the web.
	A really lame-ass protest.
	The only place you weren't allowed to pitch tents was in front of City Hall.
	That was the only place you couldn't camp.
	So now they've put all of these tents in front of City Hall with big signs and people hooting and hollering, except the tents are brand new.
	They're all tied together.
	Oh, it's a total scam.
	It's like, really?
	That's what you're doing?
	No, Holmes, not handcuffs!
	And the smart people...
	Oh, what is it?
	Was Holmes not handcuffs?
	Yeah, that's the slogan.
	I love it.
	Homes not handcuffs.
	Well, they're building homes.
	Homes not handcuffs.
	But it was interesting to see that a lot of the campers have moved camp.
	So that's good.
	That kind of worked.
	Shepard, who is in Donovan, Missouri, 33133.
	Good day, gentlemen.
	I'm a younger millennial with a gorgeous MILF and three beautiful human resources.
	I've been listening to you guys for the last four years or so.
	Punching folks in the mouth has proven hard as my circles are socially conservative, reformed Christians, and most find your show too vulgar or too liberal.
	Interesting.
	We are vulgar.
	Well, it's their loss.
	Yes.
	Right.
	And the world is vulgar.
	And we're not that bad.
	And there's some pretty interesting stuff in the Bible that I could point to that you might want to consider could be seen vulgar in different words.
	I've been an OTG kind of guy since 2014 and I haven't had a TV since 2012.
	I wrote for Tucker Carlson's news website when I was younger and got red-pilled to all the M5M BS at a young age about when I was 18.
	He saved.
	After the summer of love last year got a little too close to my Virginia home, we decided to pack up and leave the cesspool that is the commie wealth of Virginia and move to glorious Missouri.
	I live 30 minutes from the nearest store and 40 minutes from a cell signal.
	Google doesn't even know my address.
	We've been here for going on five weeks now, and I'd like to think we're settling in nicely.
	We have 60 laying hens, four came with us from Virginia, two hogs, two cows, and a bull, and three horses.
	I had four in Virginia, only took three along with us.
	This is getting long.
	Sorry, John.
	So I'll wrap it up now.
	Shout out to all the great people I interact with on Noage and the Social.
	Gray Knight, Blitzed, Hoji Hung, Icy Grills, Sir Keg, and Klaatu, to name a few.
	Thanks for all you do, gentlemen.
	Need some work karma trying to get a new job with a very wealthy tech company so I can work hard to pay off my mortgage quickly.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	There's no reason to pay your mortgage off quickly with these interest rates, but 60 chickens, or 60 laying hens, are you selling eggs?
	Because you better be.
	That's a lot of hens.
	You'll get probably, you can get up to 45 from 60, unless they're professionally forced to lay a lot.
	They still get about 40 eggs a day.
	Easily.
	That's a lot of eggs.
	And they're delicious.
	I used to have chickens, and I thought it was so romantic when we had the castle.
	Like, oh, go out and get some chickens for breakfast.
	Chickens are assholes, man.
	They do not want you grabbing their eggs.
	They will peck you, or they will fly at you.
	They do all kinds.
	They do not like that.
	Of course they don't.
	But luckily they're careless and they're out of the way from the eggs a lot.
	And you can pick them up and throw them.
	That's what we used to do with our chickens.
	No, that's not good.
	Yeah, throw them.
	Just get out of here and then grab a bunch of eggs and put them in a basket and get out of there.
	Then you still have to check the eggs to make sure it's not some old egg that's been sitting there you missed.
	The eggs are still better.
	Sir Jim Watts is up on the list with Baron of Whistler and Metropolitan Garibaldi region in Whistler, BC. God's country, to say the least.
	Yes, I've skied it.
	I've skied Whistler.
	333.33.
	A very photogenic area, I might add.
	Baron of Whistler and Metropolitan Garibaldi region.
	333.33 Canadian.
	Okay, well then...
	No, he's still an exec.
	It's still good.
	Yeah, I know, but how did it get in the spreadsheet with this amount?
	I was starting this note, Windows 10 suggested inclusion for all, search to make an impact.
	Yesterday it was to take a quiz about UNESCO. Oh, I see he's getting ads or something as he was...
	From Windows 10, sure.
	What is Windows 10 sending you these sorts of things?
	It's not supposed to be an advertising vehicle.
	Well, they're tracking you for some reason, so they must be for that.
	My taskbar is woke.
	Mine's not.
	Mine doesn't do anything.
	It closes my annual birthday in Sanco de Mayo protest donation.
	Also, a happy birthday to my niece, Emma, and Theodorable.
	Yes, he had his birthday yesterday, I might mention.
	He was over at the house.
	He had a huge party for him with spinning disco lights and the whole thing.
	Lots of balloons.
	And so here's the story that goes from this event.
	And this is true.
	So one of the things he's always wanted is a camera.
	So we had to get him a kid-proof camera, which is a beautiful little camera.
	It's got all kinds...
	It's rubberized, and you can't...
	You drop, it's not going to break.
	It's got all kinds of little filters.
	You can make all kinds of crazy pictures with it.
	Now, does it have a screen on one side so you can see the shot immediately, or...?
	No, it's the screen on one side, but not on both sides.
	No, no, but you can see the results.
	Yeah, it's a real camera.
	It's got all the features of a regular camera.
	It's just kid-proof.
	Oh, it's kid-proofed.
	So, he grabs his camera, finally, one of his last gifts is one thing he wanted the most, and he screams for joy, and then he says, oh boy, a camera!
	Now I can take selfies!
	Oh!
	Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this.
	Oh, we weren't, it was like, what?!
	So, that was the story of the day.
	Wow, the kid's lost already.
	I know, that's what I'm thinking.
	Okay, so Jim, back to Jim.
	He says, also happy birthday to Nisam and Theodorable.
	Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there.
	Both Summer and Winter Olympics are scheduled in the next nine months.
	It's been a tough training environment for these athletes.
	Requesting luge, luge, luge goat karma for Reed Watts, the official Olympian of the No Agenda show.
	That's right, that's right.
	According to the Mueller report.
	Yes, who is the luge champion.
	He's our luge guy.
	Yes, here we go.
	Luge away, Reed!
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Nice.
	Sir Greg Birch, Baron of the North Olympic Peninsula in Port Angeles, Washington, 255.
	Still here since day one.
	Girlfriend karma for my son.
	It's my birthday today, May 6th.
	Lastly, no agenda will be on my 1965 classic mini race car.
	Yes.
	He's got a sticker he made that says, no agenda show on it.
	Cool.
	Cheers, Sir Greg Birch, Baron of the North Olympic Peninsula.
	Well, of course we got some of that girlfriend karma for your son.
	Nothing like hooking up your son.
	You've got karma.
	Check to make sure Theodorable's on the birthday call-out list.
	Yeah.
	Sarah Schisler in Belgrade, Montana is 233.
	Sorry, this segment's pretty long today for reasons that we can never account for.
	ITM gentlemen, I'd like to credit this donation to my smoking hot soon-to-be husband, Alex, for his birthday on May 7th.
	He hit me in the mouth several years ago, and we've been listening to this show on our many adventures ever since.
	Life is now better than I ever thought possible!
	Love is lit.
	For jingles, these things that catch on are always amusing.
	And we only read that once.
	Once.
	I think the amount of people who now say love and lit is more than people used to say love and light even.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	It's catchy.
	I don't know why.
	For jingles, can I get a Trump aroused, Biden whole load, and dog karma?
	We all appreciate all that you do.
	Absolutely.
	It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.
	I'm going to give you the whole load today.
	You've got...
	Go on!
	Carmine.
	You're up.
	This is Brandon Ellsberg.
	Before I do that, I need to have a little more details.
	The adorable, of course, not on the list.
	His birthday was yesterday, May 5th, and four years old.
	Of course he's not on the list.
	He's all a family off the list.
	He hates us.
	Okay.
	Brandon Ellsbury, 211.82.
	We're getting to the end here, but I have quite enjoyed this segment myself.
	Jingles, Wacky Adventures of Biden.
	We don't have that one.
	No such thing.
	No such thing.
	Wicked Witch of the West.
	No, I have a Hillary cackle.
	That's what you're going to get.
	You've got to be very specific with these jingles.
	Please Think of the Children, which is Will Someone Please Think of the Children?
	And Obama, na-na-na-na, Batman, that one I actually was able to find for you.
	And here is the note.
	John Adam, I need a de-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	Actually, he says, I need a de-douche.
	And there you go.
	I'm writing this the day before my air traffic control final exam.
	I donated and messaged Adam on MoFax back in October when I was driving home late at night.
	Well, it's spring, and I am very happy I chose ATC. Such an amazingly fun career that I should have been doing from the start.
	But enough about me.
	Y'all make an amazing show.
	It has helped keep my amygdala shrunken, and for that I thank you.
	Can I get final exam, relationship, road trip, and jobs karma as I'll be looking for a new job come July?
	Well, I hope it's for air traffic control.
	Also, is that your second Pabst?
	That was a plane falling from the sky.
	Also, any New England producers, I will be in the area for my road trip between June 6th and 16th.
	Would love to meet my fellow No Agenda producers.
	Please set up some meetups.
	I would love to do it.
	Man, that's the cowling just dropped out of the sky.
	I would love to do it myself, but I don't know the area.
	Thank you in advance.
	Bye, Brandon.
	Keep your eye on that.
	And also join NoAgendaSocial.com.
	That's where a lot of these things can be solved.
	Ah!
	Oh, somebody please think of the children.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Matt Leroy.
	Capital L, small E. $208.12.
	Jingles request.
	Pasta Glock, Noodle Gun, Full Reverend L. Dogs, our people too.
	If possible, please toss in a ghost of John's past, the John haunting bit.
	I don't know what that is.
	Donate!
	That one.
	It's that one.
	In the morning, gents, I'd like to humbly request a makeup dedouching.
	Oh.
	We can do that.
	You've been de-douched.
	I donated a couple months ago and asked for one then, but it was missed.
	This donation is to celebrate my smoking hot wife, Liz Leroy.
	Capital L, small E, capital R-O-Y, pronounced Leroy, not Leroy, for Mother's Day.
	Wait, that's the first actual Mother's Day donation of the day.
	No, there was a good one up, but they never mentioned the mom.
	Oh.
	And Fugizoto had three moms mentioned, so I can't say that.
	No, I'm sorry, you're right.
	I'm wrong.
	I'm wrong.
	You're right.
	I'm wrong.
	I realize it is an episode early.
	Yes, next episode is our Mother's Day special.
	We're offering the special producer's credit for a Mother's Day show.
	Mother's Day special show.
	It's an episode early, but for good reason.
	We are selling our house, and the open house is on Saturday.
	I would really appreciate some house-selling goat karma.
	Okay.
	Liz and I have seen 33s everywhere.
	We rented a storage unit, 3300, randomly assigned.
	I traveled for a living, and my hotel room was 133.
	The clocks, the odometers, everything.
	We got the picture.
	And after they got the picture, by the way, she mentioned they donated $208.12.
	Just saying, normally...
	I hit my wife in the mouth a year or so ago, but it took a few months of listening with her in the car before she noticed people getting punched in the face.
	Punched in the mouth.
	She said, that's not how it goes.
	You slap me in the teeth, right?
	Ha ha ha ha.
	She's been listening to every episode for several months now, and this has started, and she's even started listening to MoFax as well.
	She has yet to donate, so please de-douche her as well.
	What?
	Okay.
	It makes no sense what he said.
	No, no.
	She should be douchebags, but we'll just follow the note.
	The explanation behind this amount donated is only for...
	Okay, we get to our explanation now.
	It's for my wife's three daughters' birth months, February, August, and December, 2002, 2008, 2012.
	Ha!
	Anywho...
	Mother's Day.
	It's Mother's Day, Liz.
	Happy Mother's Day.
	You mean the world to me.
	You've done such a wonderful job raising our daughters, and I am forever grateful.
	I can't wait to move out to the country.
	I love you so.
	Matt Leroy.
	Leroy.
	Leroy.
	Couple L, small E. All right.
	Quite a sequence of jingles.
	Here you go.
	I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun, you racist pizza shield.
	I got my pasta glock locked and loaded.
	But resist.
	We much.
	We must and we will much about that be committed.
	Dogs are people, too.
	Eh?
	Do a donate.
	Do a donate.
	Donate jobs.
	You've got karma.
	And that is our list of executive producers and associate executive producers for a very special show, 1344.
	We want to thank each and every one of them.
	The long list took a long time.
	Affiliates be noted, we will be running a little long today, but it was worth the time spent.
	I have to say that these notes in particular, though indeed a bit longer, were good.
	We got good information.
	It was funny stuff.
	We learned about people's personal lives.
	It's like the People magazine of podcasts here.
	It's beautiful.
	Thank you for supporting the show.
	This is the only way it can be done.
	You've heard an earlier note from the podcast who has taken our exact model, value for value.
	And it works.
	You keep on the air.
	Now, you're not going to get Joe Rogan money, but you're going to stay on the air and have a good time.
	And I think for both of us, it's very satisfying to hear how much pleasure people get out of the community of Knowage in the Nation and the show itself.
	And if you'd like to support...
	It also loosens up the podcast because they know that they can tell it like it is, or the way they think it is, or the way they feel it is, or they can just say what they want.
	They don't have to worry about the advertiser cutting them off.
	That's a good point.
	The podcasts are better.
	Yes, and any mainstream media, like even C-SPAN, you don't get to say what you want to say.
	They cut you off.
	Or they pre-brand you as something.
	No, this is the way to go.
	I completely agree.
	If you'd like to participate in this experiment for Sunday, it's a very simple way to do it.
	You can check this website out, which you'll remember forever once you hear the jingle.
	Slash N-A. Thank again to our execs and associate executive producers for supporting the show.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, Slade!
	Shut up, Slade!
	You made me self-conscious about saying time, talent, treasure, and I bungled that all closer.
	Thanks for supporting this.
	Hey, let's just talk about Noodle Gun for a second, since we had that.
	I want to talk about some Noodle Gun stuff for a second.
	There was a couple things, actually.
	Here we go.
	First of all, I wanted to say that I watched the We Work documentary, which is out on Netflix right now.
	Have you seen this by any chance?
	No.
	And it's something I typically might not be that interested in.
	And, you know, if you don't know the story behind WeWork, it's basically a rent-by-the-desk real estate idea that was wrapped in this hue of kind of Steve Jobs-y and magic from the CEO, this young, charismatic Israeli guy named Adam Schroeder.
	And a lot of venture capital kind of swarmy hype around it and cool stuff and baristas.
	And the whole thing wound up being valued at $47 billion.
	SoftBank put in billions of dollars.
	One of the most so-called sophisticated investors in the world.
	And it was basically they're renting buildings, then making it into desks and cubicles and cool and adding a barista and then renting out the desks.
	And obviously it was flawed.
	Well, funny enough, now a version of it might work quite well with what's happened since COVID. But what I wanted to say about this documentary is that...
	The people who were in it who worked at the company and who were clients of the company, they were pretty much millennials.
	And there was also a WeLive, so you could not just work in one of these places.
	They had this kind of commune-type living.
	What it basically was, was all of these clients and people who worked at the company, They were sold an Instagram dream.
	And you see it in the way they speak, and we were changing the world.
	I love that.
	But it was, John is like, and we're having fun, it's relaxed atmosphere.
	And then they rattle up this name of dot-com names, and they all got like 50 grand seed money from somewhere.
	So, of course, they all went out of business.
	But the whole thing was an Instagram dream.
	And it's too bad you haven't seen it.
	If you see this, you will recognize what I'm talking about.
	I'll just call them children, for lack of a better word, have been hypnotized and it was so easy to pick them up.
	They're like, oh, yeah, this is what it is.
	This is cool.
	And look at my life and look at my workspace and look at my cool colleagues and look at my little – my cubicle and look at the barista.
	Small batch.
	Small batch.
	Very, very sad to see what an effect this selfie culture that your grandson is now becoming a part of.
	He has no future.
	He's lost already.
	Maybe an intervention.
	Yeah, maybe.
	We need to intervene quickly.
	So there was another story which I liked a lot, and it's something that you have been saying for a long time, and this is the Basecamp story.
	I've got a quick clip here to intro it.
	Now this, Basecamp, now that's a small software company trying to deal with wokeness.
	They took a stand against politics at work.
	The CEO said, look, we don't solve society's problems.
	We don't get behind one movement or another.
	We don't do that.
	No politics at work.
	After he said that, one-third of the workforce took a buyout package or resigned.
	So Basecamp is...
	Tina used to use it at one of her marketing clients, I think a long time ago.
	She's doing freelance stuff.
	And it's like a Dropbox Slack kind of product.
	And it's used by marketing firms.
	But what happened, and really when you dig into what went down at Basecamp, there was a list.
	And the list is a funny list of customer names that has been maintained within the company for 10 years.
	And it's, you know, it's stuff that, it's juvenile stuff like I do, like Mike's, you know, like Susan's sister, Mike Hunt, you know, this kind of stuff.
	Like, it's Ben Dover.
	And so they had some clients that maybe it was, you know, holy...
	The Seymour Butts there?
	Yeah, Seymour Butts, holy folk, whatever, this kind of joke.
	And a new hire came in, and at this point the company was already in trouble because they had diversity and equity commissions, and this new hire came in and said, oh my god, we have to do something about this list, and we need to have conversations, and so their internal communication just filled with all this woke talk.
	To which the two co-founders said, you know what?
	We're done with this.
	This is no longer appropriate.
	You're not going to post that on here.
	We don't want to have any more.
	You should be tempering your political talk at work.
	We're here to do work.
	Very similar to what Coinbase said.
	You're here to work.
	That's no good.
	No, and so a third of them resigned.
	And some high-level positions, too.
	And they all had the same message, which I'd never kind of heard before, so you knew it was templated and scripted.
	I've left now after seven years with the company.
	I'm looking for new opportunities.
	DMs are open.
	I've never heard of this term.
	DMs are open.
	Everyone had the same tweet.
	What's TM? DMs, like your direct messages.
	Oh, direct messages.
	DMs are open.
	And they all said the same thing.
	And should I tell you something?
	They're all going to die penniless.
	No one will hire you.
	No one.
	I won't.
	No, of course not.
	You're troublemakers.
	Over what?
	No, you might as well just put a big tattoo on your forehead saying, you know, loser or don't hire me or woke.
	That's it.
	Tattoo woke on your foreheads and hope to get a job.
	You're not getting at work.
	You're not getting at work anymore.
	You've decided to creep us out.
	You know, and you said from the get-go, and so people could take a payout or whatever.
	I think the big mouths are like, oh, GMs are open.
	They took the payout to leave.
	You've always said that you need to identify these people before they come into the organization because they can destroy.
	And I think these guys did a good job.
	It doesn't take more than one or two of them.
	Yeah.
	They're dangerous.
	It's actually happening at another company right now, and I think this company has lost the plot.
	Pandora jewelry retailer has pledged to no longer use mined diamonds because of ethical concerns.
	That tops news on the money today.
	The store says it will now use diamonds manufactured in laboratories.
	Last year, Pandora stopped using newly mined gold and silver amid reports of human rights abuses at mines and factories.
	The company has also cited a greater demand from younger customers for sustainable materials.
	Pandora will sell its lab-made stones first in the United Kingdom and expand to other markets next year.
	I mean, how does this make any sense?
	We're no longer going to sell real diamonds.
	We're just going to sell lab, and they'll probably charge the same amount, too.
	No, in some cases, the lab grown is more expensive.
	This is a new term.
	Gem Z. What?
	Instead of Gen Z. Gem Z? Gem Z. Yeah, gems.
	So I'm wearing a diamond ring, let's say.
	I'm somebody wearing a big diamond ring.
	Pinky ring.
	Pinky ring.
	Okay, I got a pinky ring and it's got a diamond in it.
	And somebody's going to go up to me and say, is that lab grown or is that a diamond from a mine that maybe some slave's working?
	Blood diamond, man!
	Nobody cares.
	Yeah.
	They do.
	Blood diamonds is a different story.
	Those are actually banned.
	But this is just a regular gold mine because there was a cave in some place.
	Okay, if you want to be that way, it's fine.
	I think there's nothing wrong with being that way, but if you're in business?
	Yeah.
	Very odd.
	That's just, yeah, it is odd.
	But I don't think it's as odd as the troublemaking employee that comes in and they're going to see fault with everything because their vision of things is always skewed.
	Oh, evil white man kind of skew.
	Yes.
	And they're not good employees.
	They don't like to work.
	You can tell already.
	Yeah.
	When they say, well, you have to work.
	We have to have a meeting about social issues.
	They want to have meetings about social issues, and it's like the teacher in the early part of the show.
	You know, there's a justice education.
	I mean, I want my kids to learn how to read well and fast.
	This is my final story.
	And just like the residents of Austin, predominantly liberal, voted with, I think, final tally, 57-58% to reinstate the camping ban, in South Lake, Texas, that's south of Dallas, The parents got so fed up with the woke racist education, gender education, all the things that really have nothing to do with what you just said is read and read fast.
	And they did something really unique.
	They just organized, ran for school council, and kicked all of them out.
	And said, no, we're not going to have this.
	Hold my beer.
	Let me go ahead and let me just run for council.
	And they've kicked all of these a-holes out and taken back their school.
	So good for them.
	And that's what it's going to take.
	And by the way, so goes Southlake, so goes the rest of America, is what the Republican battle cry is.
	Um...
	Yeah, good for them.
	That's what needs to happen.
	You know, people are always waiting for, well, you know, who's going to help us?
	Who's going to save me?
	We need a president that's going to do right!
	No!
	No, people.
	You've got to do it yourself.
	Well, you're talking about south of Dallas.
	Mm-hmm.
	There's a woman that's a congressman down there in the 30th District of Texas.
	Uh...
	The district was formed in 1993.
	This black woman has been the congresswoman from there.
	The Democrats have decided to primary her out.
	And I ran into a bunch of weird stuff on this...
	There used to be a site, I thought it was always kind of a smoking gun, and it's called Crooks and Liars, which is now just a front for the Social Democrats.
	Crooks and Liars, I used to get clips from that.
	It used to have really funny stuff.
	Yeah, I think it was either bought by the Blue Democrats.
	Something must have happened.
	I noticed that too.
	Something happened because they got bought out.
	And so they're promoting that this woman is, at least according to Blue Democrats, Is the go-to girl that's going to get rid of this black woman.
	She's black too, but she's a young black socialist millennial.
	And I just have a couple of clips I picked up because this is what you're dealing with.
	Modern Democrats.
	This is a modern Democrat.
	Nothing like Joe Biden.
	Angry, irked, my way or the highway, and this is Jessica Mason, the Blue America, it's called Blue America, not Blue Democrat, Blue America choice for Congresswoman.
	I spent three months in the ICU. What does that say about America?
	The richest country in the world.
	How can we let black and brown children continue to suffer and nearly die of treatable diseases because they don't have adequate insurance?
	In South Dallas, where I'm from, our children are more likely to develop severe asthma because of pollution.
	Our water pollution is worse than Flint's.
	Black women are dying during childbirth and we have some of the lowest life expectancies in the state of Texas.
	Our healthcare system places profits over people.
	Wow.
	I would like to see some documentation that the South Dallas 30th District of Texas has worse water than Flint.
	Yeah, it has worse water than Flint.
	So it's loaded with lead?
	Is that what you're telling me?
	I want some documentation.
	So here she goes, now let's just cut to the chase and listen to her rant about whatever she...
	All the blue Americans rant about.
	But what Texas needs is a Green New Deal and guaranteed federal jobs, massive investments in green infrastructure, not incentives to continue producing gas and coal-powered energy, and further enriching the pockets of these oil executives.
	And with all due respect, I'm not okay with bipartisanship, and that means compromising on the rights of Black, brown, and immigrant people.
	So we really need to stop with the bipartisan propaganda and really advocate for the people of Texas 30.
	Our representative also failed to support Cori Bush's amendment on voting rights for incarcerated people, and she refuses to apologize for voting for the 1994 crime bill that has led zip codes in my district to have the highest incarceration rate in the state of Texas.
	How many black men are in jail because of a joint?
	How many black men are in jail because they are victims of poverty?
	How many black men are killed because of irresponsible and racist policy?
	We need to end the privatized prison system and stop the criminalization of poverty and blackness.
	Well, she has a very good chance of winning.
	Guaranteed federal jobs.
	Guaranteed.
	For everybody.
	It's all part of big government.
	It's all part of the socialist idea.
	I have a contrasty clip by another black person.
	This is a cop, a fairly famous outspoken police guy named Brian Tatum.
	Yes, I've seen him before.
	Yeah, he's quite good.
	He's very erudite, and he is a...
	Oh, is that your version of he's well-spoken for a black man?
	Is that what hit me with erudite?
	Well-spoken is one thing, erudite's another.
	But he's well-spoken.
	Yes.
	And he's on one of these, again, one of these, I think this is...
	I think this may be a TV show, but he's more...
	I think it's Brandon.
	Isn't it Brandon, not Brian?
	I think it's Brandon.
	Brandon?
	It could be Brandon.
	I don't know.
	We don't get names right on this show, genuinely.
	Ever.
	I got one screwed up earlier.
	Ever.
	Ever.
	So let's listen to Mr.
	Tatum bitch and moan in a way that is, I have not heard anybody, nobody has really said what he's about to say.
	Right, we can speak now to Brandon Tatum, a former police officer and founder and CEO of the Officer Tatum.
	Thank you very much for coming on the program.
	My pleasure.
	So we're going to talk about lots of the wider issues just in a moment, but first of all, just wanted to get your reaction to the conviction.
	Well, first of all, I think most of what I heard on the broadcast all the way here is confusing to me.
	I think we're living in the twilight zone.
	This conviction, in my personal opinion, did nothing for our country.
	I mean, people are living a lie.
	I mean, this was one police officer, one person in the community.
	They found him guilty.
	This was the swiftest justice I've ever seen in my life.
	The day after the film came out, he was arrested.
	He was tried.
	Ten hours of deliberation, he was convicted.
	I'm not really sure why people are acting like this is monumental.
	Also, he did not get a fair trial, in my personal opinion.
	There was a lot of obstruction that happened.
	They paid the family out $27 million before the jury could be selected.
	I mean, they're going to have a case in appeal.
	So I don't know why people are celebrating, and I don't know why this is such a big focal point, other than people are making money off of the pain of people in our country.
	So, you're objecting firstly to some of the things that happened around the trial, which now that there is a conviction, I think we should probably park that.
	But secondly, you're upset that there's an amalgamation here of a wider sense of a landmark case and this one specific court case.
	Yeah, this is not a landmark case.
	I think people are, this is a political agenda.
	They're pushing lies in our country.
	Policing in America is not inherently racist.
	We don't live in a racist country.
	This was an interaction between a police officer that I thought did the wrong thing and a black man who was on drugs high resisting arrest and ended up being killed by that police officer.
	That's as simple as it can be.
	The president of the United States got out and made a fool of himself trying to promote racism in a simple police encounter that the officer got convicted on.
	So you reject President Biden's comments about systemic racism and it being a stain on the whole nation?
	Yes, President Biden is an idiot, in my personal opinion.
	And he's just talking because he's a politician.
	Systemic racism.
	I mean, if you look at Joe Biden himself, you know, he spoke at a Ku Klux Klan member's funeral and did the eulogy of Robert Byrd.
	I mean, he is white supremacy and racism, if you want to say that is the case.
	And now he's the president.
	Yeah.
	Of course, this aired on some obscure thing.
	You never hear this stuff.
	But if you want to hear...
	Actually, Mo did a really good breakdown of the Chauvin trial, Mo Facts, episode 62.
	We talked about four hours.
	Four hours?
	What episode was it?
	The most recent one, 62.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm going to do it right now, John.
	You can't stop me.
	Oh no!
	Yeah, I've been carrying this with me for so long.
	First little updated second half of the show.
	As we are awaiting the return to Earth of some Chinese thing that is out of control, you can track it on the websites, but there's a little interesting detail about what will come crashing down to Earth.
	Scientists are tracking an out-of-control Chinese rocket falling back to Earth.
	It could partially survive re-entry into the atmosphere.
	The rocket launched last week, and the boosters were supposed to fall into the ocean, but they fell into Earth's orbit.
	That means the rocket parts, which are...
	98 feet long could fall to earth any day now landing anywhere from New York to Beijing to New Zealand.
	One expert told a NASA YouTube channel that a similar mistake with a rocket last year sent debris raining down over Africa causing serious damage.
	It had these long metal rods, like, you know, 15-meter long metal rods that were slicing through the atmosphere and smashed into buildings in these villages in Ivory Coast.
	Luckily, no one was hurt, but over like a half mile radius, they found debris that was big hardware that could cause damage.
	Nothing this heavy has fallen back to Earth in more than 30 years.
	I could not help but notice the rods from God that are coming to be raining down from the sky, which is exactly what we talked about a couple months ago as the new space weapon.
	Yes.
	I'm thinking, wouldn't it be interesting if a bunch of the rods from God hit the Belgrade U.S. Embassy?
	Even though we were aiming for something else, you mean?
	You get the reference.
	Yes, it would be interesting to see where the rods from God end up.
	But that sounds like...
	It had nothing to do with us.
	It was an accident.
	Clearly some space war stuff going on.
	Make no mistake.
	Now, I have an insider.
	An insider deep inside the Pentagon.
	I've verified as much as I can.
	This person has been feeding me information, and the most pertinent one is, he says, pay attention to all of the stupid propaganda that's now coming out, all of this project reveal, or whatever.
	Look at all the videos.
	All of a sudden, the Pentagon is allowing pilots to show what they've seen, the UFOs, the flying Tic Tac, and above all, the two biggest propagators of this stuff who always invite the same entertainment guys on.
	Mind you, the person you're about to hear works and consults on movies, creates entertainment products, documentaries about UFOs.
	Tucker Carlson is always bringing this shithead on or some other guy like him.
	We spent some time reporting on this story.
	We should have spent a lot more time because this could be the most consequential thing to happen to this country, to this world, maybe ever.
	In June, the United States government is set to release a public report on everything it knows about UFOs.
	Lou Elizondo is the former head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.
	He's been on the show a number of times.
	He just spoke to the New York Post about what that report will show.
	According to Elizondo, we will find an intelligence failure on the part of the U.S. intel community on the level of 9-11.
	The last time we had an intelligence failure of this country, a major one, which was 9-11, it took us almost three years to come up with a 9-11 commission report.
	It takes a long time.
	Let's just go down the rabbit hole here for a second.
	Let's just assume this is some sort of adversarial or foreign technology that several decades now has managed to leapfrog us and evade all 18 members of the intelligence community, despite our best human intelligence, Sigma...
	Alright, so you don't need to hear this whole guy.
	And Joe Rogan has other guys from the same nest on all the time.
	I wish that this was real.
	I wish that these UFOs, they'll be landing and in June we're going to find all and whatever would be coming from outer space.
	This is bull crap.
	Now, and here's how I think his information is trustworthy.
	All of these recent videos are not actually videos.
	They're radar images, they're scans.
	There's nothing with the human, especially the Tic Tac one.
	That is not a naked eye video.
	None of these things are.
	This is projection technology.
	It's multi-sensor spoofing.
	The pilots, they believe what they saw because their instruments showed this.
	This is in fact a project which is being run by the Navy.
	And this is supposed to be a really big deal.
	I think they call it Nemesis, the netted emulation of multi-element signature against integrated sensors.
	And this is used to project naval fleets, wherever they want to have them, to confuse our enemies.
	And they can project onto any sensor, anywhere in the world, And that's all that this is, cloaked as some UFO stuff.
	They are hoaxing everybody while rolling out this technology, which apparently is quite effective.
	The number of times we've heard about, well, this fleet is there and this fleet is there, may not actually be all that true.
	They've chosen from building ships to going this route with projecting, which kind of takes you back to the Manhattan Project, projecting these fleets wherever they may be necessary.
	I believe that technology is possible.
	It's a great idea.
	I would be working on it.
	Yeah.
	And I'm sad to say that is the truth of this.
	But?
	But?
	I don't necessarily think that they're connected.
	And what has it got to do with that idiotic Chinese...
	No, I'm not connecting them.
	That was just an updated story.
	That's not connected.
	Okay.
	That's not connected.
	You didn't make it clear.
	I said quite...
	Okay, I thought I made it clear.
	I should make it more clear.
	Well, it wasn't clear to me.
	What this is, is going to be Project Blue Beam.
	Someone will turn it into that, which is to get us all to bow down to some alien force.
	Eventually, it'll come to that, but it's going to be 10 years from now, so don't get too excited.
	In the meantime, space wars are happening, and...
	The UFO and belief in aliens, which I do, is being abused for warfare and we're all falling for it.
	Everything's being abused.
	The biggest dupes are Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan.
	They're really getting duped.
	Well, in Washington State, I think in some Oregon too, some cows are showing up dead and gutted and dried.
	Yes, this is your cow segment we've all been waiting for.
	Well, I don't have any clips or anything, and it's not nearly as interesting as the tumbling rocket.
	But the cows again are starting to, the desiccated cows have shown up, one of them sitting upright.
	As a joke, I think aliens probably have a sense of humor.
	I hope.
	And nobody can explain it.
	These desiccated cows, all the blood's been sucked out and their guts are gone.
	This is something that's been going on for us.
	A lot of them are just standing there, gutted, and standing there.
	One of our producers even sent in a note that that happened to some of their cattle.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	That's our great segment.
	That's all I got for you right now.
	Ceremon.
	Attends to all human resources.
	No entry.
	Second half of so.
	All right.
	Breaking news.
	Breaking news.
	Just breaking tonight, Bill and Melinda Gates, two of the richest people in the world and major forces in the world of philanthropy, are divorcing after almost three decades of marriage.
	Of everything that's going on in the world, of course, the most emailed article...
	Bill and Melinda Gates are divorcing!
	Hey, you did it.
	You sound exactly like Jeff Begase.
	Oh, thank you.
	I've been practicing.
	I would like to make a statement up front.
	I think divorce is sad, especially if you're a celebrity.
	It's a major pain in the ass.
	I think I was Bill Gates level in a very small country for a while.
	Divorce when you're famous is horrible, the things people say.
	The jokes still continue to this day.
	I've been divorced from Patricia 10 years, still continue to this day, and they're annoying.
	You get used to it.
	So it's sad, and everything that's going on around that, it's a bunch of dickish people who are saying that.
	With that said, John, I'd like to hear the inside dirt because you actually know Bill Gates and his antics.
	I know Bill Gates, and I met Melinda years ago.
	Now, I haven't seen Bill Gates for 20 years ever since he quit Microsoft and became a big shot and now only hangs out.
	Well, you have to say, Bill did his level best over the years to try to be with the people, the normal people, by not flying in his private jet and flying commercial and taking...
	Public transportation, cabs.
	Yeah, back in the day.
	Didn't like the idea of a limo.
	All that changed over time because once he married Melinda, I haven't seen him since he got married.
	This is typical with some of these guys.
	They get married.
	Why are you doing that?
	You should be on a private plane.
	You got the money.
	So I got a copy of her book.
	Ooh.
	Which came out, you can look up the name, I can't remember the title, it's unmemorable.
	It came out in 2019.
	Is it like On My Own or something?
	No, no, no, no.
	No, it's something about women's empowerment.
	Oh, like leaving your man?
	Well, there's a bunch of stuff in there, but there's some revealing information.
	I'm going to read the whole thing and see if I can get some other gems.
	It's the moment of lift.
	The moment of lift.
	Yeah.
	There's a...
	Who wrote this title?
	How Empowering Women Change the World.
	Yes.
	And so this would get on anybody's nerves.
	But she goes and she has some interesting things in there.
	She says, for example, when she...
	And told Bill that she was pregnant with their first child.
	There was a kind of a mini spat that took place because she was thinking of not telling him because they were on a trip in China.
	And she thought it might be better to get back home and then to talk about it.
	But he insisted, or wanted her, he didn't insist because it didn't happen, but he wanted her to keep working as a Microsoft slave, you know, at whatever salary she was getting, a salaried worker at Microsoft, while pregnant, or no, after she had the baby, she did work while she was pregnant.
	And I thought that was kind of odd.
	Like, is there some reason for this?
	Another little tidbit that you should note, which people say, oh, this is some sort of a scam so they can, you know, split up their money and make more money.
	I don't think so.
	I don't believe any of that.
	It's like, oh, it's for taxes.
	Are you kidding me?
	It's idiotic.
	Are you kidding me?
	Please.
	Yeah, you're dumb.
	But I think there's one thing that was eating at her.
	And I think, by the way, I think the reason they're splitting up, just to be honest about it, I think they got sick of each other.
	Yeah.
	I think that's the reason a lot of people split it.
	Yeah, just because they're sick of each other.
	They just got sick of each other.
	They've had it with you.
	27 years, it's the time.
	It can happen.
	27.
	Now, she's going to get a lot of money.
	There's reportedly no prenup.
	Bullshit.
	I have the filing right here.
	There is a prenup agreement.
	It's right in the court documents.
	And the documents have been around for a week.
	Okay, well, I'm going to say something about that.
	Any good lawyer, that prenup is useless because after being married for 27 years with three children, that prenup is useless.
	It's not going anywhere.
	The point I'm going to make is she's getting billions of dollars.
	Hold on a second.
	I need some advice here.
	You know why I married Tina.
	You're telling me that there's a limit on how much I can take from her?
	If it's in a prenup.
	Yeah, so she makes me sign a prenup, but it's not good after a certain amount of time?
	No, a good lawyer can rip apart any prenup after a while because 20, I guarantee, any lawyer, divorce attorney, 27 years and three children, that prenup doesn't mean anything.
	The And the point I'm trying to make, and I'm going to make it again, she's going to get billions and billions of dollars.
	And here's what I think has something to do with it, or has something that we should know.
	Okay, here we go.
	Here we go.
	Is that Bill, over the years, over and over and over again, said his children are getting no inheritance.
	Yes, you have mentioned this.
	Yes, he made a big stink about this, and he did it for years, and I think he's stuck by it, and I think he's still sticking by it.
	With Melinda getting half the money, let's say, or even a third of it, whatever, billions...
	The kids are going to get plenty of money now because they'll get them from her.
	She'll give the kids the money that Bill will give them.
	So do you think it's possible the kids were playing all kinds of games and leaking information and driving a wedge between their parents for their own personal gain?
	No, I don't think so.
	Okay, I like that story.
	It's a good one.
	I mean, there's a lot of ways you can go with this, but I still think it's just basic, you know, two people broke up, and one of them's going to end up with a lot of money, like Jeff Bezos' ex-wife, and in her inheritance, I guarantee those kids are getting some money that Bill says he's never going to give them.
	And I think that was an element.
	What it does create, though, is an issue for Dr.
	Bill in his Dr.
	Bill role.
	He can't show up for a while now.
	Oh, that's a plus.
	Well, it's a plus for us, but it's not a big plus for the industry.
	Also, could it be related to his...
	His promotion of not allowing intellectual property of vaccines going to India.
	Do you think maybe the timing of this is like, oh really, douchebag, take that?
	Is that possible?
	I really think it's not possible.
	I will enter one more factoid, which I see one of the newspapers or one of the magazines is picking up on, which is Bill's long-term relationship with Ann Winblatt.
	Now, this is interesting because I know Ann Winblatt.
	I've met her.
	Didn't we meet her together at a pod show VC pitch meeting or something?
	It's possible.
	I don't remember that.
	I think you set the meeting up because you know Ann Winblad.
	I do.
	Yeah, I think you set it up.
	I haven't had lunch with Ann for a long time, but I probably should have it again and I could get a lunch with her.
	She's old as wood at this point, isn't she?
	She's 70.
	She's older than that.
	She was 70 when I met her.
	Okay, I'll look it up.
	She may have a painting in the basement that's not aging.
	Or is aging and she's not.
	Well, so they're making a big fuss about Ann and Bill's relationship because she was a girlfriend of Bill's before, you know.
	And she was more his type, a petite blonde, which has always been his preference.
	He was dating Deborah Weiss when I was the editor at InfoWorld and she was one of my reporters.
	And she had things to say too that were interesting to me.
	Anyway, just to cut to the chase, one time Anne told me that there was an agreement before Bill could marry Melinda that he'd get to see Anne for intellectual purposes because they liked each other's company and they liked to talk About,
	you know, the industry, she was a venture capitalist, and he demanded, and I think it was, if there was a prenup that you cite, it should have been in there, according to her, that two weeks out of the year, At the most, they have some place they used to meet at or go to a lot and just shoot the shit, basically, and that was not a big deal.
	They read complicated books together.
	I don't think there was anything else going on.
	I believe this happens, and I don't think it's a big deal.
	A lot of people are friendly with their exes of any sort, wives or girlfriends, and it's It's not a big deal, and they're making a big deal out of it.
	It's bullcrap.
	That's bullcrap.
	I think it's very simple what happened, and I don't think there's any complexity to it.
	Or Bill was caught maybe hanging out with some bimbo, or she's like somebody else.
	It's simple.
	Forget it.
	It's not a good story.
	Let them do their own thing.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	And it's kind of sad.
	As much as I despise this guy and think he's a complete and utter douchebag and a liar and just a horrible vaccine-peddling dick...
	How do you really feel?
	Well, I've gone through two divorces and...
	It's not helpful.
	It doesn't help anybody.
	And it makes other people, typically who are unhappy about their own relationships, really happy to project on whatever happened there.
	Yes, that's absolutely true.
	This is not a real story.
	No, it's not a real story.
	This is a bullcrap story that has nothing to do with anything.
	It will take Bill out of commission for a while in terms of being in the news shows, which is a plus.
	We're tired of seeing him.
	Yes.
	The other kind of interesting story that just shows you how diabolical the media is, and when I say media, I mean mainstream television, cable news, and social media.
	The Supreme Court of deplatforming over there at Facebook, who made up of a stellar blue ribbon panel of all kinds of insiders and all kinds of shills, whatever, decided who made up of a stellar blue ribbon panel of all kinds of insiders and all kinds of shills, whatever, decided that, well, yes,
	However, the penalty and when he should be reinstated, which is what Facebook was hoping to hear from their commission, they punted that back and said, no, no, you've got to determine what the penalty is.
	Is that indefinite?
	Is that for six months?
	What is it?
	And I don't even know what the resolution is, but the funnier thing, and that's what we do here at No Agenda, is listen to the media.
	This is Brian Seltzerwater.
	He is the media reporter for CNN. And just listen to the disdain that he has about certain things.
	President Trump's lies led to a bloody, deadly insurrection.
	Why would they ever let him back on to peddle more of the crap?
	What lies?
	Well, the big lie.
	What was...
	No, what was...
	Oh, okay.
	No, you have to understand it's the big lie.
	He was jipped out of his election win?
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	That is branded as the big lie, branded specifically to connect to Adolf Hitler and the big lie.
	You know, this is all very important that we continue to propagate that.
	And in a very journalistic manner, she actually says, why should we be able to peddle this crap?
	Why would they ever let him back on to peddle more of the crap?
	There are a lot of members of this board that are free speech advocates, First Amendment absolutists in some cases, that are going to make an argument that these platforms should not be in the position of making these choices at all.
	If Trump is brought back on Facebook, it'll likely be for those reasons.
	But a lot of this has to do with the memory hole, right?
	The riot going down the memory hole.
	That's what Fox and right-wing media has been trying to do.
	And I worry that this may be another result of that.
	Can you believe it?
	There are free speech advocates and First Amendment zealots!
	What?
	This will not stand.
	These people are evil.
	Ugh.
	Free speech.
	And he says free speech absolutists.
	Absolutists, yes.
	Absolutists.
	I mean, if that's...
	And the guy is sitting there on the basis of free speech and the First Amendment freedom of the press.
	That's the reason why he can sit there and say this stuff.
	I know that's the irony.
	It's just...
	It's incredible.
	Incredible.
	Anyway...
	I know the irony of these...
	This is like the news media people not liking the idea of WikiLeaks.
	Correct.
	Why should I? Oh, no.
	They're revealing all the secret documents and all these things that would make my journalistic endeavors even easier and it would give me some ideas for stories.
	I could probably dig through this stuff and get somewhere.
	But no, no, no.
	It should be illegal.
	Nobody should go looking at it because these guys are all spooks and they're not allowed to look at it.
	If somebody says you shouldn't look at something that if you're a journalist you should want to look at because you want to see what's in there, you want to look at but you tell people not to do it, they're probably a spook because spooks aren't allowed to go on WikiLeaks.
	Or they're just working for pharma.
	Well, they could be working for pharma too, but generally speaking, they're not the guys like, let's say, let me think, who can I think of that would be some guy that would be categorized as a mouthpiece for maybe the intelligence community so we can get a feeling for what might be going on in the world.
	Oh, Richard Engel.
	So...
	Richard Engel, who goes here, he goes there, he goes everywhere, and now he's in Afghanistan.
	So I perked up because he gives a report.
	The spook is on the scene.
	I want to see what the CIA thinks about what's going on in our pullout.
	And I want you, I should make a note that I didn't, I don't think I have the opening, this introduction to this by the guy at NBC's, what's his name, the black guy who does that?
	Lester, Lester Holt.
	Lester Holt.
	So Lester, he makes a point of saying we're going to pull out, he doesn't make the Biden comment that we played the other day where we're leaving on May 1st and we're going to be out by September 11th.
	He doesn't say that.
	He says we're going to leave on September.
	The original idea.
	Because nobody wants us to leave at all, I would think, if you're in the agency.
	So let's hear what Richard Engel's got to tell us.
	At the Praise Beauty Salon in Kabul, all the talk today is about the Taliban and whether the Islamic fanatics will return as U.S. troops leave and make these simple things a crime.
	The Taliban banned makeup and hairstyling.
	Women and girls couldn't go to school or work.
	The salon owner, Alian, says women have now become members of society, doctors and lawyers under American protection.
	If the Taliban return, it will be a disaster, she says.
	In an undisclosed location in Kabul, in hiding, I met a group of former translators for the U.S. military who say they're marked men.
	They want to leave with U.S. troops.
	This is the final stage.
	We have to make it now or we will never.
	So it's now or never?
	Yes.
	Gilal helped the U.S. military find, fight, and kill the Taliban.
	He received a medal from U.S. troops when he was injured on a combat mission and kept working for five days.
	Do you feel like you're being left behind?
	Of course, we have done this with us.
	We have been forgetting up to now.
	Do you think you will survive?
	I can't.
	I can't stay anymore right here.
	I will try my best to be alive and go to the European country.
	I will leave my family.
	These men say they're proud to have helped U.S. forces.
	They were fighting for their country, too, but that it could cost them everything.
	The U.S. has a program to offer asylum to translators, but thousands of interpreters here have joined a petition complaining it's too slow and they've been excluded.
	The Taliban controls about half this country now, and they're making a push as U.S. troops leave.
	No!
	So, oh, the humanity.
	By the way, those translators should barely speak English.
	What kind of translators?
	Is that the best they can do?
	It's a bum rap, man, the translators.
	I met a couple when I was in Iraq.
	And, you know, it's very dangerous work, at least in Iraq.
	I don't know about Afghanistan.
	Probably worse.
	But let's just be honest about it.
	As you have pointed out in other reporting, 15,000 contractors, special, just all outside forces, all on the scene, protecting the poppy fields.
	They don't want the Taliban to come back into play, not because the Taliban is going to go kill the poor translator, because the Taliban burned down the poppy fields.
	That's why.
	That's the only reason why.
	Yes, the Taliban were anti-poppy.
	Anti-poppy and...
	Screwed up the whole market worldwide.
	You know, someone should do a little graph.
	I'm sure there's some data available.
	Of the 20 years the United States and coalition forces, we're not the only a-holes doing this, have been in Afghanistan, and the increase in production of poppy and the increase of pharmaceutical sales of heroin, I'm sorry, oxy, and dez.
	I think you correlate that, you'll see a very interesting graph.
	I'll bet you it'd be dynamite graph.
	And it's sad, but man.
	And we just get this bullcrap lie that's still somehow related to September 11th, 2001.
	Really?
	Really?
	That's why we're there?
	Really?
	No, it makes me mad.
	It makes me mad.
	Yeah, well, now you hear the official pronouncements.
	Oh, you know, we got to be, oh, these bastards, you know, sons of bitches.
	Okay.
	All right, I have one story before we take a break here.
	This was predicted.
	I think I predicted this well over two years ago.
	This is regarding Brexit in the United Kingdom.
	And I said, with all the things happening, this is going to be the problem.
	It's going to come down to it.
	And I hate to be right on this one, but you don't mess with the fish.
	Two Royal Navy patrol vessels are being sent to Jersey to monitor the situation after a row erupted with France over post-Brexit fishing rights.
	The French government threatened to cut off power supplies to Jersey in a dispute over a new licensing system for French fishing vessels.
	Robert Hall is in Jersey for us tonight.
	And the latest, Robert?
	Well, news that those vessels were being deployed came following a phone call to the Jersey government from Number 10, from Boris Johnson, who expressed his unwavering support for Jersey's position.
	To be fair, Jersey's politicians have been trying very hard for the past few days to calm things down ahead of a protest, of which more in a moment.
	So how did we get here?
	Well, Channel Island fishermen and French fishermen traditionally have worked together pretty well most of the time, but that started to go downhill after Brexit.
	When Jersey started to re-establish its territorial waters, at the weekend it also began to issue licenses to French boats.
	Those licences cover boats that are regularly here, cover what they can catch, covers the amount of time that they're in Jersey waters.
	And there was almost immediate pushback from the French communities like Granville and Carteret along the Normandy coast who said, look, this is untenable.
	We haven't had enough time.
	There's detail here which is just unacceptable and unworkable.
	And at a meeting in Cherbourg a couple of days ago, they got together with other fishing ports and said, look, we are going to have to do something here.
	We are going to stop Jersey boats landing.
	We are going to go and protest in Jersey.
	That looks like going ahead.
	And then we had that speech in the French Parliament yesterday from the Maritime Minister saying, look, we may use Jersey's supply from our grid as a negotiating tool.
	As I speak, around 70 boats are said to be on their way to Jersey.
	They're going to anchor outside St Helia.
	They may well be protesting or blockading.
	Whether the presence of the Royal Navy will help or hinder, we shall see in the coming days.
	Conflict coming.
	Real conflict.
	Yeah, I told you, you can't.
	This fish thing is like, people say, oh, it's just fish.
	That's a pretty big deal, the fish.
	And we knew this was coming, and we knew it was going to be a problem, and here we are.
	Now we've got naval vessels that are threatening to cut off power.
	Woo!
	That's how you do it at Brexit, baby.
	Dude, it relied on windmills and sun.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	I'm going to show my support by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	A few people to thank for show 1344, including Anonymous, who came in with $134.
	Also, John Robinet, $200.
	Ashlyn Davis, 85.
	Jamil Thomas, 69-69.
	And now we have the 59-20...
	I'm sorry.
	What was the May Day thing?
	It was 55?
	I don't know what 59-21 is, but there's a bunch of them.
	That's weird.
	Shouldn't it be...
	No, no.
	There was a reason.
	59-21 was...
	I don't know what it was.
	Well, that will be Mother's Day.
	Oh, it was the Mother's Day.
	Yes, I'm sorry.
	Sorry.
	Hello!
	Well, Mother's Day is Sunday.
	Yeah, I know.
	I do a wonderful job with these promotions.
	What?
	I don't know.
	Makes no sense.
	So you've got to read the moms here, too, then.
	Yeah, I'm going to read the names and locations, and you're going to say the shout-outs to the moms.
	Okay.
	Ready?
	Yeah, I'm ready.
	Because you can read that, and I can read this.
	Yep.
	Starting with Randy Vizantine in Houston, Texas, 5921.
	Yeah, shout-out to the mothers in my life.
	Moms rock!
	Eric Brake, 5921.
	This is...
	Happy Mother's Day to Kathy Brake from at ebrake at noagenosocial.com.
	Jacob Milligan in Kailua, Hawaii.
	Happy Mother's Day to Mrs.
	Kelly Milligan of Elko, Nevada.
	She's an avid listener.
	It's keeping her amygdala small.
	Love you, Mom.
	Sreen Vass Murky in Culpeper, Virginia.
	In honor of my dear Mom, Sabalakshmi Somasundram, a.k.a.
	Radha Murthy.
	91 years old, feisty as ever, and she still reads the paper without her glasses.
	Chris Coravo in Driftwood, Texas.
	Right up the road.
	Happy Mother's Day to Leslie Fishlock of Driftwood, Texas from Fluffy Bottoms Farm.
	Okay, Fluffy Bottoms Farm.
	If that's a Driftwood, I gotta go check it out.
	Driftwood is in the hood.
	I gotta go see this Fluffy Bottoms Farm.
	Yes, Brian Henderson in Indianapolis, Indiana.
	Shout out to my mom, Naomi.
	I love you, Mom.
	Chris Larson.
	Chris says, for the long-suffering, wonderful mother of our three children, of which one out of three is a sweetheart.
	Love you, Margo.
	Sir Daniel Torelio.
	Torelio.
	Torelio.
	That's it.
	Sir Daniel Torelio in Charleston, South Carolina.
	Well, this is interesting.
	Happy Mother's Day, too.
	And here's the same name.
	Sabalakshmi Somasandaram.
	Also my wife Erin and my mom Susan.
	Sir Daniel.
	I'm probably saying something horrible in like some dialect.
	It could be.
	That's a good gag.
	I don't think people do that on this show.
	Now this is...
	The next one is not a Mother's Day donation from Ben Dale, 5665.
	He's from the UK. I wanted to read this.
	I want to mention, by the way, that the Mother's Day donations consist of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
	Can we please make sure that Mom is recognized on the Mother's Day show a little better than that?
	And Mom's dragged us through this past year and a half.
	I think that's what it was.
	Okay, you got Ben Dale.
	Ben Dale, 5665.
	Hi, I feel it's time I got myself a D-douching.
	You've been de-douched.
	So here's my hard-earned disability cash.
	After a few failed attempts, I was hit in the mouth by my carer, a decade-long listener yet to collect his well-overdue knighthood, and I've been playing no-agenda clips to my smoking hot girlfriend ever since.
	I feel I'm in a very exclusive group, having managed to say mask, test, and poke free while living in prison UK. This has only been possible as I'm a quadriplegic wheelchair user after having had a stroke at age 18, which very nearly killed me.
	But now I've completed 39 laps of our nearest star and even all the months in hospital being pumped with God knows what.
	Everything seems so clear.
	Everything on TV has a purpose to steer the sheeple.
	Yet I still get the stink eye when out shopping, but I do find it very amusing when people jump back and spread themselves against the supermarket shelves as I drive past, occasionally turning away to save themselves from my highly infected breath.
	With Adam's undercover earpiece voice in my head, Code...
	Wait.
	Code 12, Code 12, we have a super spreader rolling up aisle 3.
	I think it would be a worthy member of the vaccine-free baseline volunteer program.
	I don't have the skill to set this up myself, but it seems a worthwhile task.
	Anyway, please do not find your exit strategy yet, as you're bringing much-needed sanity to our very messed-up world.
	Find me at masklesswheeleruk on NA Social.
	I just thought it was hilarious that here's this poor guy, quadriplegic, in his wheelchair, rolling up the aisle, and people are jumping back.
	Yeah, it's a movie.
	I like the visual.
	I like the visual.
	Thanks for the support.
	Thanks for the support.
	Alright, onward with Zachary Jude in Minneapolis, Minnesota, 5603.
	You can see if there's a Mother's Day thing in there.

	I'm not going to say his name because I don't think he wants it necessarily.
	But he's changing his name to Vaccine Waters Gravel.
	He's got a long story.
	Not in this note segment, but he has a health care story that's interesting that we will read, but not right now.
	Okay.
	Long day.
	Long day.

	Okay.
	Let me see.
	I have a number of ISOs, actually.
	Let me see.
	Where's the ISO bin?
	Where's the ISO bin?
	Here it is.
	Okay.
	I have a couple of them.
	Here's one.
	I'm excited to eat some cicadas.
	Okay.
	I thought that would be interesting.
	We have this one.
	He's got a podcast now.
	Mm-hmm.
	I got a lot of ISOs.
	Well, it's all true.
	It is true.
	It absolutely is true.
	I don't know why I put that one as too long.
	This one?
	We're caught.
	We're done.
	And honestly, I think this is, for me, this is the clear winner.
	I don't know what you have planned, but I think I'm going to beat your ass with this one.
	Stop pulling out your wee-wee.
	I mean, how can you beat that?
	What was it again?
	It was muttering.
	Stop pulling out your wee-wee.
	Stop pulling out your weenie?
	Your wee-wee.
	Stop pulling out your wee-wee.
	I'm glad you liked that one.
	You've done better.
	Yes.
	I have another one from the source of all good ISOs.
	Unfortunately, I don't have it on this list, but you look for the word ISO and then you'll find it.
	I have it.
	You ready?
	Let's move on!
	Please.
	Huh?
	Let's move on, please.
	I mean, I just...
	Stop pulling out your wee-wee.
	I mean, that's just short, funny, and to the point.
	Normally, I always give you this, you know, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, just Maybe if you combine the two, it would be even funnier because you'd have the weenie joke and then let's move on.
	Or...
	Stop pulling out your wee-wee.
	Please!
	Okay.
	Come on, man.
	Come on.
	That worked.
	Woo!
	I'm glad we got that one out of the way.
	Anything else we need to do before we leave at this late hour?
	Well, I do have, it's not that I don't have any clips.
	I have a bunch, but I'm looking for the one clip that might be good.
	I don't want to do the, well, yeah, I got one that might be good.
	That's kind of funny.
	Now, I do have a cicadas report, but we can do that on Sunday.
	Yeah, I mean, they won't be launched yet, but I have cicada stuff, too.
	We definitely need to do cicada stuff Sunday.
	So let's do what I consider one of the stupidest reports I've ever seen.
	It was on NBC. Yeah.
	And it was an idiotic report on drone delivery.
	With so many of us relying on home deliveries during the pandemic, we have a glimpse tonight at the future.
	Jake Ward tells us about an idea that's taking off.
	It's a quiet morning in suburban Virginia, and I'm ordering a little breakfast.
	I'm going to get some coffee, get a muffin, and it says it'll be here in about five minutes.
	Not only is this my first coffee of the day, this is the first hot coffee delivered by drone in U.S. history.
	And it's hot.
	New FAA rules allow drones to fly themselves to and fro.
	Wing, an Alphabet subsidiary, delivers drugstore items, library books, even Girl Scout cookies from here.
	And for now, delivery is free.
	This thing weighs only 10.6 pounds, but it can carry 3.3.
	That's about the weight of a rotisserie chicken.
	It'll lower down, allow our operatives to load the package on it, and then it'll take off in a vertical column before cruising at about 180 feet to the customer's house.
	The technology seems to work, but the question is, what happens when the skies and the labor market are filled with these things?
	Drone delivery could wipe out hundreds of thousands of delivery driver jobs.
	But could it also subsidize businesses that can't afford a delivery company?
	Luke Brew says traditional delivery fees would not work for his business.
	But if air delivery stays free, he thinks flying coffee could be the norm someday.
	You don't have drone delivery?
	What's wrong with you?
	What do you mean it's going to take 30 minutes to get my coffee?
	We've come to expect miraculous conveniences.
	And in exchange, we've transformed the economy.
	Free, nearly instantaneous air delivery could be next.
	Jacob Ward, NBC News, Christiansburg, Virginia.
	Wow.
	I mean, I could have gone to bed without hearing that.
	What a bunch of nonsense.
	And hello, 1992.
	Well, the thing is, is that the idea that you're going to get, first of all, coffee.
	Coffee.
	Coffee.
	Delivered by drone.
	And by the way, the way this works, it has a rope that it sends down and you hook onto the package and pulls it up and then it goes over the house and it drops the rope.
	And then because it drops it farther than the hook, it goes and the hook falls off and just pulls it up again.
	So it just drops off the package.
	It's a cool looking thing.
	It only carries three pounds, so that's not going to put anybody out of business.
	A pizza weighs more than that, I'm guessing.
	Maybe I'm wrong.
	But this coffee guy comes on there and says, yeah, this will be great because I can't afford the other delivery system.
	I can deliver coffee by these stupid drones.
	This is dumb.
	By the way, you know, how hard is it to make coffee?
	Domino's has a campaign running now as well where they have this little, I think it's the Nuo or the Neo or something.
	It's like a three-wheeled vehicle that delivers your pizza.
	Oh no, they have this in Berkeley.
	I took photos of this thing bouncing around.
	It's a piece of shit looking thing bouncing around down the sidewalk and it finds your place and honks at your calls or something and then you go outside and there's pizzas inside of it.
	Yeah.
	It's dumb.
	It's idiotic ideas.
	Here's a rare glimpse of what happens when the drone comes over my house in Texas.
	There we go.
	I can't wait to shoot some of that stuff out of the sky.
	It's target practice.
	And if it's below 500 feet, totally valid.
	Get out of here.
	I was saying, you know, as far as I can tell, looking at the one that they're using for this little segment, it doesn't have cameras looking out for people gunning them down.
	It will eventually.
	Come visit Austin.
	Come visit Austin.
	Coming up next on NoAgendaStream.com, we have Sir Billy Bones with A Walk Through the Mind, Cash for Clunkers 2.0.
	That should be fun.
	End of show mix is Dennis Rochelle, Jesse Coy Nelson, Tom Starkweather.
	And coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State.
	In fact, I'm here in Opportunity Zone 33, which is Austin, Texas.
	And it's in FEMA Region No.
	6 on the governmental maps.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Sunday.
	Please remember us at dvorak.org slash na.
	And remember your mom as well.
	It's Mother's Day.
	Till then, adios, mofos!
	and such.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Vaccination.
	Vaccination.
	It's just the way we deal.
	Vaccination.
	Vaccination.
	It's just the way we deal.
	Yeah!
	We love this innovation.
	We want the regulations.
	We live on vaccination.
	We need to work again in Mexico as neighbors, not as advertisers.
	We have a whole group of lawyers who are going out to every polling, every voter registration physician in the states.
	Not as advertisers.
	They actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move.
	$1.2 billion.
	So you go ahead and you stack spaghetti sauce at a store in a supermarket.
	You control the guy or the woman who runs the car on a forklift.
	A forklift in a supermarket.
	They'd actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move.
	And I had nurses at Walter Reed Hospital who would bend down and whisper in my ear.
	Partnerships built on coercion.
	From the time I got to the Senate, 180 years ago, they'd actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move.
	Meet this climate crisis, exacerbating the need for environmental justice.
	Sorry, there's a bug.
	Well, I made very clear to Putin that we're not going to seek escalation.
	Sorry, there's a bug.
	I need to actually breathe in my nostrils to make me move at 200 miles an hour from...
	From Charlotte, another line going from Florida down to Tampa, another line.
	If we had moved, we'd have that tunnel fixed in New York now.
	The money was there to get it done.
	There's real concern at NASA tonight about a huge chunk of Chinese space junk.
	I'm here primarily to talk about food and nutrition security, and you may think that that is just about food and nutrition security, but in fact it's about a lot more than that.
	Well, it's all true.
	It is true.
	It absolutely is true.
	I think you should vaccinate up to a point and you hit a certain age population where you say, okay, we're going to pause and make sure that we then put both money and extra supply on the global market.
	Meanwhile, the social pressure is enormous.
	Friends may have informed you already that you are not welcome at their parties or their weddings if you haven't been vaccinated.
	I think it's important first to just take a step back and remind everyone that the President spoke about his support for this type of a waiver back during the campaign.
	But we are running a process.
	We have been running a process in the administration that includes all stakeholders in the administration.
	We don't know where it's going to land.
	It could land anywhere as far north as New York City and as far south as New Zealand.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
