Time Text
We do a pretty good job.
You know, we check all that shit out.
Adam Curry, John C. Devorah.
It's Sunday, June 13th, 2021.
This is your award-winning Kimo Nation Media Assassination, episode 1355.
This is no agenda.
And broadcasting live from Opportunity Zone 33 here in the frontier of Austin, Texas, capital of the drone star state.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where an eight-car zephyr just went by, isn't that something on a Sunday?
I'm John C. Devorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
Holy crap, we have an economic report from the Zephyr.
We have eight cars on a Sunday.
Bitcoin currently 36,490.
Oh my gosh!
Woo!
Listen to that horn!
Baby, baby, baby, I love my job.
What a great job to have.
Counting trains.
Counting cars.
There they go.
There they go.
There are two minutes, one minute late maybe.
I thought it doesn't come on Thursdays normally?
They said it used to be daily.
Then during COVID, they went through three times a week.
And now I think they've gone back to normal.
Well, that...
During the summer, they're probably going to run a cart every day.
Well, that is a true economic report.
I mean, people don't know, but after the show, when I'm post-producing and John's just telling me what to do, He'll tell you anything.
He'll tell you to hurry up.
Yes, exactly.
That's what I'm talking about.
He'll sit down and go like, holy, holy, oh my God.
There's 50, no, wait, 25 cars.
It's all from China.
It's going that way.
I mean, you really track this stuff.
I think there's validity to this.
144 cars from China on a daily basis coming in.
And each one of those cars has two of the trailers on it.
The modal.
It's unbelievable.
It's unbelievable.
But this is more than you've seen in a long time, right?
Oh, yeah.
Ever since the COVID thing kind of broke, these carriers, cargo containers, to be specific, the cargo containers have been pouring in like nothing I've ever seen, ever.
So how can supply and demand be an issue then that makes these prices go so high?
I don't know.
If everything's coming in.
Scam.
Many manufacturers of food and household items are reducing the sizes of their products, but keeping prices the same.
This process, known as shrinkflation, is a result of heightened costs to produce raw materials during the pandemic.
I love that term.
Shrinkflation?
Shrinkflation.
Yeah.
Well, we know this is being done.
It's like at Whole Foods where you'd buy the crab cakes and they were six ounces and they kept the price...
No, they raised the price like 50 cents and all of a sudden it was five ounces.
Shrinkflation.
You get it on both ends.
Mm-hmm.
Well, this reminds me of the...
I always try to dream of some term to explain a phenomenon.
I don't know.
Something's up.
We had an interesting weekend here in Austin.
It qualified as a mass shooting.
Yes, I was almost getting a clip of that.
I teased it in the newsletter.
And yes, I expected a boots-on-the-ground report from you, because you'd be hanging around.
Yeah, this is Dirty Six, 6th Street, which is the party zone of Austin, which has been...
Well, during the lockdowns, etc., and a lot of stuff just not being open because they're bars, and if you didn't serve food, you couldn't be open.
And there was just no vibe.
There was no scene.
It kind of filled up with homeless people, vagrants, and other things.
And these are, as I've said before, the people who are outside City Hall.
These are not all just purely unhoused citizens.
These are troublemakers now.
Now, I don't know.
No one really knows much because they did not get the guy, although apparently this morning they have one suspect in custody.
So here's the basics.
Someone opened fire, shot 14 people now, two of which critical.
I think everyone is still alive.
The guy got away.
The news here has heralded the Austin police as being super quick to respond.
They were doing tourniquets and they saved everybody's life.
Meanwhile, do not focus on the fact that there were no other cops anywhere in Austin.
What I'm looking for is what robbery took place when this happened.
We have no police.
I mean, we have police, of course, but we don't have enough.
You'll remember the cadets were sent home.
We have $150 million budget cut for the police.
No one wants to be police.
So, that was the main news, if you look at what people are talking about.
The thing that, of course...
Did they send a few social workers in there to hunt the guy down?
Well, so here's kind of how it was spun, because we don't know exactly who this was.
Initially, the chief of police described the suspect as a black male with a black shirt, skinny build, and dreadlock-type hair, but he told reporters that the description wasn't very detailed based on the chaotic nature of the incident.
So the Austin Statesman, which is our local newspaper, which has been bought up by some Well, I should know this.
It was bought out by some publisher who, you know, they have one or two people, I think, part-time to write some local stories, and the rest is all, you know, produced elsewhere.
Feeds.
So they highlighted the fact that the Republic of Texas biker rally was being held in Austin this weekend, kind of making it sound like, well, that was clearly one of those rowdy, a-hole white bikers, Trumpers.
And they made it even worse by saying in an editor's note underneath their coverage, the story, that it declined to publish a description provided by the police, the one I just gave you, saying that it was too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes.
It said that in the paper?
In the newspaper, a note from the editor.
So it's not specifically necessarily a black guy with dreadlocks, which is not that usual.
A white guy with gun?
Is that not a stereotype?
Yeah, a white trumper with a gun.
Yeah, I mean, they totally stereotype the bikers.
I didn't realize that paper had gone down the tubes like that.
Oh, no, that happened several years ago when they were bought out.
I have to look it up, who bought them.
But that, to me, that was like, oh, man, seriously?
Yeah.
I wonder nobody wants these newspapers.
I mean, they're just bringing it on themselves.
Who's going to pay for that kind of coverage?
A bunch of woke bullshit.
Exactly.
Yeah, so I guess that's kind of it.
If you look online on the Twitters, Two stories immediately politicized.
It was either because of the local leadership in Austin, which I definitely place blame on them for an unsafe environment and what they've created, and defunding of police.
And on the other side, it was, of course, our governor, Greg Abbott, who, you know, he's a governor of a Texas, you know, Texas, a state that has guns, you know, it's his fault, but Republicans, GOP! What cannot be ignored is the timing of a bill sitting on the governor's desk waiting to be signed for constitutional carry.
This was passed here in Texas, and that will mean that anyone over the age of 21 with no previous felony convictions and a couple other stipulations can purchase and carry a gun, any kind of gun, handgun, concealed or open in the state of Texas.
And he's had it for, I think, two weeks almost.
Why won't he sign it?
I think, look, Abbott is just as big a political a-hole as a Democrat governor.
It makes no difference.
So he understands the optics of this is not good.
There's been three shootings since this bill was passed, including this one.
He knows what will happen.
Oh, we passed this.
Boom.
He doesn't want that aggravation.
You know that, right?
That's where they are.
Of course!
It's not Ron DeSantis.
Is there open carry in Florida?
No license concealed?
If they ran a bill like that, he'd probably sign it.
Speaking of such, John Charles Dvorak...
By the power vested in me as a professional radio amateur operator under the Communications Act of 1934, I am putting you on notice, sir, that you are, as of November 2020, no longer licensed to operate equipment under FCC Regulation Part 15 and 43.
There's two-year leeway.
Sure.
Dammit, always has an answer.
Why don't you go for your general, and then we'll get you hooked up with a proper rig, with a manly rig.
You know, I tried, I thought about it, but then I thought Allstate was still going to be better.
Alright, be that way.
Would you like me to remind you from time to time over the next year and a half?
Yes, I think you should, because as you know, the possibility exists.
That you will forget it.
That I'll forget.
I'll have two years to remember, and I could forget.
It's possible.
I'm not without, you know, I do, I know myself enough.
I know you too, that's why I will remind you.
Actually, in fact, screw that, pound me.
Ooh, okay, alright.
I'll take that, I like it.
Okay, I think we should do just a little bit of COVID stuff before we get into the G7. I have news.
News, ladies and gentlemen.
I have no COVID stuff.
This is the first time in probably a year that I did not get even one mere clip having anything to do with COVID. I got a few.
And we start off with some important news.
That's right.
Our hero, David Hasselhoff, the Hoff is all on the vax train.
Oh, that's right.
I, David Hasselhoff, am supposedly a hero because of Baywatch and Knight Rider and the Berlin Wall.
But I found freedom with vaccination.
You can too.
Hoff off.
Oh my God.
And he does take credit for the Berlin Wall.
Yes, there he is.
I'm a hero because of Baywatch, Knight Rider, and the Berlin Wall.
Let me just throw that in there.
I love that guy.
He's got a lot of nerve.
Yeah, but that's okay.
You know, he's just that way.
We need these colorful people.
Headline from Bloomberg, I am shocked, shocked, Bloomberg, I think the only one supporting this, the Miami Bitcoin 2021 gathering was a COVID hotspot.
And here's how they start the story.
Cryptocurrency podcaster Luke Martin said he caught COVID-19 during the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami last week, one of the biggest events to take place in the U.S. since the pandemic began.
Larry Cermak, research director at The Block, a cryptocurrency news and information website, said he hadn't gotten it, but everyone whom he hung out with during the three days of conferencing and partying did.
That's their proof that there was a hotspot.
Did you get it?
No!
Did Eric DeShill get it?
Not that I'm aware of.
Of course not.
Dave Jones already had COVID, so he can't get it again.
No, this is total horse crap, but it's Bloomberg reporting this as if, oh wow, super spreader, hotspot, and they interviewed a podcaster and a blogger.
Come on, that's insulting.
The open VAERS database or the VAERS database has updated the Vaccine Adverse Event Response Reporting System, which is run by the National Health System.
I thought it was the CDC. It's NIH. It's NIH. So CDC falls under that.
FDA falls under that.
Did you know that it's a felony?
Yes, to put false information.
Yes.
Yeah, but I get emails from time to time and people say, you know, anyone can just report whatever they want there, you know.
It's not true.
You can get thrown in jail for misreporting on that thing.
And it's enforced.
Yep.
And we know that from Peter McCullough, who says it takes about half an hour to put it in and you've got to do it right.
So they have updated.
We're still a week behind, but they have updated through June 4th, 2021.
You recall the week ending May 28th, we had 4,000, like somewhere 4,500, I think, maybe 4,600.
Deaths reported.
From the vaccine.
Yes.
One week later, that has now jumped to 5,888.
Oh, we're heading to six.
And I'm going to keep counting.
I'm going to keep count of this.
This is unbelievable.
And what we're seeing is...
Real problems cropping up with young people, particularly men, who received...
I think it's only the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines that are causing myocarditis and other types of heart inflammation issues.
Yesterday, during the Euro 2020 football match, 29-year-old Danish player Christian Eriksson collapsed on the field.
They had to do emergency CPR on the field.
His doctor has never had any heart problems.
It's still unclear whether he was vaccinated or not.
It seems some officials say yes.
The coach is a known anti-vaxxer, so we're not quite sure.
But I'm going to go out on a limb here and say yeah, probably.
Yeah, that's what I'm guessing.
Germany has temporarily halted vaccination of young people.
Same goes for Italy, after big headline news of this 18-year-old Camilla, who died after the vaccine, and that was from AstraZeneca.
So maybe they'll get their shit together here in America.
The only clips worthwhile on this, and again, we don't have all that much, this is just trying to keep your kids safe, everybody, is CNBC, where we kind of get real information because people disclose stuff and there's rules and regs.
There's still a lot of promotion.
Bye, bye, bye.
Welcome in Scott Gottlieb.
We know him, former FDA administrator, commissioner, and a current board member of Pfizer.
Dr.
Gottlieb, this is a pretty concerning report.
What do you think of it?
Look, it's definitely a signal, and it needs to be investigated by the FDA. I'm sorry, I should probably have set that up better.
The CDC sent out a news alert over the weekend saying there seemed to be a high occurrence of heart issues with young people and they're studying the matter.
You see, at this point, there does seem to be a clustering of cases around six to 24.
About 8.8% of all the people who've received the vaccine are between those ages and about 53% of the reports of pericarditis, myocarditis that the FDA has received have been in that So there does appear to be a clustering of cases in that age group.
Most of the cases are mild and self-limiting.
They've been treated with corticosteroids and NSAIDs.
There's a handful of people who've gotten more seriously ill and have been hospitalized with this condition.
But it needs to be looked at.
And the question is, what could be the connection between the vaccine and these observations?
Is the vaccine creating some kind of inflammatory state that is then leading to this inflammation?
No, it doesn't We gave him too much, Doc.
...for much younger patients.
So you want to get to the bottom of this so you can try to come up with an approach that mitigates this.
You need to give him the shot anyway.
There is a preponderance also in men versus women.
So it's about 80-20 in favor of men.
So 80% of the cases have been in young boys versus young men versus young women.
So that's another observation that we need to take into consideration.
I think they take it very lightly.
Yeah.
Very, very lightly, the way he's talking about this.
Yeah, you know, we just have to determine.
And remember, he's on the board of Pfizer, so he would never throw Pfizer under the bus.
But when it comes to Johnson& Johnson, yeah, yeah, I think so.
You know, with the cases that we saw with the J&J vaccine, the AstraZeneca vaccine, that was what we believed to be an autoimmune effect.
So the vaccine itself was triggering some kind of immune...
We have yet to see if there's any kind of correlation there, but J&G, they caused it.
They caused it.
They did it.
...was triggering some kind of immune-mediated reaction that was causing those clotting disorders, was causing destruction of platelets, and we believe it was the vector, the viral vector, that was being used to deliver the gene construct that was in the vaccine, basically the vaccine construct.
What the hell did he just say?
We think it was the viral vector of the construct in the vector of the vector of the construct of the vaccine.
That's what we think it was.
What is this from?
CNBC. Why do they have this guy on?
He's a stooge.
He's a Pfizer stooge.
He's delivering Pfizer stooge information.
Pfizer stooge info.
So what do they put him on?
What is CNBC putting him on for?
To make sure the stock doesn't drop.
Oh, okay.
What are you talking about?
Hello?
And we believe it was the vector, the viral vector, that was being used to deliver the gene construct that was in the vaccine, basically the vaccine construct.
Vaccine construct.
In this case...
When you say vaccine construct, doesn't he mean it was put together, shitty?
What is vaccine?
A construct.
I think he's referring to the screwball technology they're using for that viral vector vaccine from J&J. It's one way of describing it, I guess.
So here is a competitor slagging off that product.
Next thing they did, CNBC brought in the Johnson& Johnson guy.
These cases of pericarditis, we don't know what the relationship is.
Is it an immune-mediated...
Okay, those guys sucked.
It looks like they made it wrong.
Shoddy product.
But in this case, we don't really know.
As a pericarditis, we don't know what the relationship is.
Is it an immune-mediated reaction from the vaccine?
Or is it just a general inflammatory response?
We know the vaccine induces an inflammatory response.
That's why you get fever.
That's why you get injection site pain.
Because you're getting your immune system stimulated.
There's some reactogenicity just from the vaccine itself.
So is this more generalized?
Yeah.
Is it an inflammatory response from the vaccine that's localizing in the heart in some patients?
Or is it something that's more direct where the vaccine itself is triggering some kind of very targeted immune reaction and it's manifesting in this way?
We don't have the answer to these questions.
These are still low numbers.
Even people who speculate that there must be more cases and we're just recognizing a small number of cases, that may be true.
There may be more mild cases of pericarditis that we aren't recognizing, but we are probably capturing most of the severe cases.
We do a pretty good job in this country of capturing what are likely severe adverse events.
Really now?
I'm sorry.
That goes counter to every narrative I've heard on the mainstream.
No, that's just a self-reporting database.
Anyone can put it in there.
It's not really good.
And now here he is.
Oh, we do a pretty good job.
You know, we check all that shit out.
Mild cases of pericarditis that we aren't recognizing, but we are probably capturing most of the severe cases.
We do a pretty good job in this country of capturing what are likely severe adverse events, people who are getting very sick or might be hospitalized from this condition.
And when you look at the number of people who are having severe cases of pericarditis, it's very small numbers right now.
Most of these are very mild cases that are being picked up, some incidentally.
Let's just take a look and see.
You know, of all the things you want to get, you don't want to get your heart swollen up.
It damages the heart, and you're probably going to cut off 20 years from your life.
Or you collapse on the soccer pitch.
Or you collapse on the soccer field.
You end up in a coma.
He is right, though.
It's not really big numbers.
You know, we have almost 6,000 dead, according to those extremely well-documented and pretty good system we have in the United States.
Wait, wait.
There's not a lot of numbers.
When did they first start giving kids the vaccine compared to the vaccine to the general public?
It's only recently.
Yes.
So the numbers are going to be small.
So it's bullcrap the way he puts it.
I have the number.
1,087 myocarditis pericarditis cases.
That's a big number considering they just started giving the shot.
2,190 heart attacks.
652 miscarriages, 15,052 severe allergic reactions, and 5,483 disabled.
Damn, what does that even mean?
If you remember early on, they've suppressed most of these stories.
Remember early on where the person got paralyzed from the shot?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Or they had a stroke?
That's crazy.
Let's talk about some incentives.
I think you already did the incentives.
The incentive not to get...
Well, that's CNBC. Now we have CNN. Erin Burnett, or Burnett, as we like to say.
Burn it down.
Her job is to just call anyone who questions anything crazy and shake her head a lot and frown.
She's unwatchable.
She is unwatchable.
I used to watch her all the time when she was in the morning.
She used to be the cutest thing.
I've actually worked with her a couple of times.
I bet she was really nice, too.
Yeah.
But she went sour, man.
Something happened.
When she moved to CNN... Well, they gave her a lot of money, and then they...
I don't know.
Yeah.
I have a couple of CNN clips I want to...
I'm questioning my clippage today, and after you're done with Burnett, I'll run it by you.
Okay.
So this is Dr.
Sherry Tenpenny, and she is convinced that the...
Sherry Tenpenny...
Okay.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Sherry Tenpenny, which I enjoy, she's on Bitchute.
Amongst other fine video outlets.
Amongst the most obscure video outlets.
She's a bit much, even for me.
I mean, I enjoy her because I think she's funny.
We've played clips from her.
She's very good at isolating certain kinds of things.
But it's like the old trick I've always thought was a great old trick.
If you're going to do a debate, you say you're the Republican, but you're putting on the debate.
Your group is putting on the debate.
And you're going to debate some issue.
So instead of bringing on somebody that could actually debate the issue on the other side, you have your Republican guy who's normal.
You find some crazy person.
Yes, yeah.
That wears a hat, a beanie, and they come out and they just blather about all kinds of crazy stuff.
They look like they're nuts.
That trick is used all the time.
Yeah, of course.
Ken Penny, I think, is brought in for this purpose.
She's kind of nutty.
Well, what I have seen, and the point here is that Erin Burnett is going to completely annihilate her for the magnetic arm thing.
Which I have seen, you know, the two girls who confronted Beto And said, hey, you know, are you a Marxist?
I can't remember what they said, but they were messing with him.
They did a thing on 6th Street a couple of weeks, like two weeks ago, a week ago, and they were sticking refrigerator magnets on everybody's arm, asking them what vaccine they had.
And it does seem to work with some people.
But the thing is, your arm isn't magnetic.
You can put a magnet on the shot spot.
And it stays.
Most of the people who I have had emails from say it doesn't work.
But it doesn't matter.
Let's just make everyone crazy.
Health officials in the United States are trying to stop the dramatic decline of the rate of people getting vaccinated.
But this message is facing stiff headwinds because of, frankly...
I don't even know how this stuff even happens.
That somebody who says these things would be testifying.
That someone who says these things would be a doctor.
But this is what you're about to hear.
A doctor who was called to testify by Ohio State Republicans trying to pass a bill that includes blocking employers from mandating vaccinations and banning requirements that unvaccinated people wear masks.
Here is Dr.
Sherry Tenpenny.
I'm sure you've seen the pictures all over the internet of people who've had these shots and now they're magnetized.
They can put a key on their forehead, it sticks.
They can put spoons and forks all over them and they can stick.
Because now we think that there's a metal piece to that.
I have not seen any of this key on your forehead and spoons.
She is really certifiably stupid.
She's out of control.
That just happened.
That was testimony.
Called by people who are elected to serve in a state government.
That was a doctor.
From a state where less than half the population is even vaccinated.
Ah, there you go.
Testifying that getting the vaccine turns you magnetic.
Stupid Republicans.
Now, it was so bad the CDC had to respond to this horrible disinformation.
Lest there be any doubt about what's happening here, the CDC actually had to knock down this on its website.
I mean, this is like people can go out and say, hey, the sky is green, and, you know, I have to, like, somehow prove that it isn't green.
That's the world that we're living in now.
Can receiving a COVID-19 vaccine cause UV magnetic?
That actually got put on the CDC website after this.
The answer, no.
That's also not what people are showing.
It's showing that Magnus sticks to them.
It's different.
What's she talking about?
A website was taken down because it had information?
No, no, no, no.
She said the CDC had to publish on their website and take that conspiracy theory down.
Oh.
Yeah, it was a little convoluted the way she said it.
The way she said it sounded like a website was actually removed by the government.
But what you just said about...
You know, the old trick, you get the numbnut from the opposing party.
Burnett's producers, they went a step further.
Look, you know, I hesitate to put people up and make them look foolish, but they made themselves look foolish.
They said these things.
It's not okay.
It's wrong.
It's made up.
It's completely inaccurate.
Hold on, stop.
Is it anything like the U.S. Surgeon General saying that a natural immunity is not as good as a vaccine?
That kind of made-up bullcrap?
Is that what she's talking about?
Yeah, she actually took him down in a whole expose in the next hour.
Sure.
It's not okay.
It's not okay.
It's wrong.
It's made up.
It's completely inaccurate and people are believing it.
It's causing people to be hesitant about getting vaccines.
They're not isolated incidents either.
Unlike kids falling down dead on soccer fields.
Well, not dead, but unlike myocarditis.
None of that caused it.
No, please pay no attention to the children's heart inflammation.
Please look at the nut jobs I'm showing you on your telescreen.
Hesitant about getting vaccines.
They're not isolated incidents either.
These kinds of things are being spread like wildfire thanks to social media.
And listen to what our own Donnie O'Sullivan has now heard from a vaccine skeptic.
If a vaccine goes into our child, she'll just die.
That's all there is to it.
You thought if your daughter took the vaccine, she might die.
That she would die.
Not might.
Just like would.
That's one...
Okay.
Ellie Reeve also found these conspiracy theories are running rampant among some white evangelical Christians.
Ah, there it is!
Well, I like where she's going, but where's the conspiracy?
What's the conspiracy theory?
She says conspiracy theory.
The woman says if my daughter gets the vaccine, she's going to die.
Where's the conspiracy here?
It's just an opinion, it seems to me, that the woman thinks her daughter's going to die.
Where's the conspiracy?
Are there a bunch of people that are conspiring for her to say this?
What is she talking about?
Conspiracy theory.
You make a very good point, and that is the trigger word used to just tell people to shut up and not listen to what you just heard, because it's dumb, stupid, not true, can't be true.
That person is clearly out of their mind.
Conspiracy theory.
No, you're absolutely right.
Onward.
Okay.
Oh, by the way, she could have said, you know, I understand as a mom you're really worried, but, you know, it doesn't sound like she has the facts right.
Instead, she says...
Okay.
Okay.
And our Ellie Reeve also found these conspiracy theories are running rampant among some white evangelical Christians.
Uh-huh.
Republicans.
Are you going to get the vaccine?
No.
It's detrimental to your health.
It starts going into conspiracy theory type stuff.
What I do, I believe it's Bill Gates and them trying to kill us.
This has real consequences, right?
I mean, and it comes in the same day that President O'Biden is now...
Whoa!
Did you hear us?
Did she say President O'Biden?
Yes, she did.
This has real consequences.
She was so shook up by that clip that she threw in an O'Biden.
Gotta love it.
Classic.
This has real consequences, right?
I mean, and it comes on the same day that President O'Biden is now vowing to supply...
O'Biden!
We haven't heard that mistake for a long time.
No, that's a good one, too.
In fact, for that alone, you're getting Clip of the Day after you're done with these.
I'm going to take it.
I'm taking it right now.
I know how that goes.
Let me see.
When's the last time we had an O'Biden?
Was Jen Psaki with an almost, and that was January of this year, but the last real good one was Shields, one of your clips, and that was...
November of 2020.
So it's been several months.
It's our quarterly O'Biden update.
I love it.
O'Biden a quarter is good.
But I didn't expect it to come from her.
No, no, no.
It's beautiful.
This has real consequences, right?
And it comes on the same day that President O'Biden is now vowing to supply 500 million doses of vaccines to countries that are desperate, desperate for these vaccines, right?
They have people dying.
They do anything to get the vaccines.
In the United States, you have people saying things like you just heard, you know, worried about turning into magnets instead of getting a vaccine.
OK, so she's really trying.
She's got her marching orders.
And that's the only way she knows how to do it is to is to roll her eyes and say these people are crazy.
Yeah.
If you really want to make people feel good, that they don't have to be hesitant about the vaccine, you might consider this tactic.
Tonight, the race to vaccinate.
The FDA announcing it will extend the expiration date for the Johnson& Johnson vaccine by six weeks.
Honey, I'm going to get me some of that over-the-date vaccine.
What?
Hey, don't worry.
It says expired.
Ah, we'll give you six more weeks, man.
It's fine.
Just come on.
Come on.
Let's get vaccinated.
Tonight, the race to vaccinate.
The FDA announcing it will extend the expiration date for the Johnson& Johnson vaccine by six weeks.
For parents nationwide, there's a mixture of worry and hope.
I'm sorry.
What?
Is this like Elon Musk's flipping a switch and all the Teslas get 100 extra miles?
Extra power.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How does this work?
Who knows?
For parents nationwide, there's a mixture of worry and hope.
A drop of more than 50% in new COVID cases among kids last week compared to the week before.
And today, Moderna applied for emergency use authorization for its vaccine in children as young as 12.
But new data shows a possible link between a second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and myocarditis and pericarditis, heart inflammation.
The CDC says it was a higher number than expected, but the cases, mostly seen in males, are rare.
But the cases, mostly seen in males...
You know what?
I think they're going to just move this along like it's just guys anyway.
Just males.
Just males.
It could be that they're emphasizing the males.
Yeah.
Something weird about that.
I don't know if this is an incentive, but it was fun to listen to.
As we've been reporting, cruise ships are setting sail once again, but more passengers are testing positive.
Two people on a celebrity cruise are in isolation.
They tested positive, even though they're vaccinated and tested negative before the trip.
Whoopsie.
How does that work?
I don't know.
How does that work, Surgeon General?
Yeah.
Well, it's only 95% that it works, ma'am.
Now we move to Scandinavia, Manitoba, and they are doing their best to get everyone all pumped up about your freedoms coming back with their brand new vaccination card.
The launch of a new secure immunization card that will be available to Manitobans two weeks after they've received both doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
In the interim, until...
I have a feeling that in Canada and maybe in the UK, they've somehow slipped in that it's good for people to get two shots of Johnson& Johnson as well.
You know, this double shot thing, I think Johnson& Johnson figured they'd, you know, here's, you're a marketing guy, let's say we're in Johnson& Johnson, we're having a meeting and it goes, you know, these guys are getting, our shots are only 10 bucks, it's like half the price and you only need one.
I thought it would be a way of selling more because people say, oh, you only need one and it's cheaper and, you know.
One and done, baby, one and done.
One and done, but now it looks as though it was a mistake because they're making it sound like it's great to get two shots.
And also, if you're dealing with the sales part of it, you have to realize that people really balked.
If you remember, we were doing a show during this era, during the swine flu in the 2003, year I4 maybe, and People were bulking at the two shots.
Oh, no, I'm not getting two.
No, no, no, no.
Well, you have to have two.
No, no, no.
And then next thing you know, it was just blended with the regular flu shot.
Well, there's a lot of articles in the Daily Mail about two shots being needed.
I recall...
Was Trudeau saying that he was getting a second shot of Johnson& Johnson?
He may have kicked the whole thing off just by making that mistake.
Because, of course, he didn't take any shot whatsoever.
It's like, yeah, I'm getting my next shot.
What, didn't you have Johnson& Johnson?
Yeah, but it's better.
Something like that.
Oh, he probably just screwed up.
Back to Manitoba.
Interim, until all public health restrictions are lifted, Manitobans will get certain benefits with this card.
Benefits!
We're getting benefits with the card, everybody.
Let's listen to your freedoms.
We hope this is a temporary measure.
Of course, as we get to the point where everybody is vaccinated, we don't need to worry so much about this.
But in the interim period, this is an important additional thing that will benefit you.
With this card, you will be permitted...
Well, listen to the benefits with this card.
To travel within Canada without having to self-isolate upon your return to Manitoba.
Woo!
Benefit one.
You will be exempt from the self-isolating requirements if you're deemed...
Self-immulating.
...to close contact by public health.
In other words, if you get a call from public health notifying you've been in close contact with someone who's had COVID, because you have this card and because it's evidence that you've been vaccinated twice...
You won't have to self-isolate as a result.
And thirdly, with that card, you'll be able to visit family and friends in a personal care home or in a health care facility as well.
That's good news for those we care about deeply who are in those hospitals and in those personal care facilities.
Good news for you.
Good news for you.
That's it.
No freedoms.
You don't have to self-emulate for five days.
You can see your granny.
Man, they got it tough up there.
They really do.
This Delta variant bull crap, they're just all in on it.
Anything related to the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, all...
We'll see if the UK is going to open up.
Now, this is the last of the incentive clips...
In New Hampshire, in the United States, we don't mess around when it comes to segregating people.
Parents of Exeter High School students are upset with how the school did contact tracing during the senior prom.
State Representative Melissa Litchfield says parents started reaching out to her last weekend following the prom, which was held Friday night outside under a tent at the high school.
Okay, so this is a prom outside.
Outside.
So very low risk of any transmission.
And here's what they did.
The school district says students who were not fully vaccinated or unable to show a vaccine card had a number written on their hand.
Representative Litchfield shared these photos sent to her from parents.
I just think that in this day and age, it probably wasn't the best choice of how to handle things simply because it's a matter of show your papers and if you don't produce your papers, we're going to brand you.
Every few songs, the students were asked to raise their hands so it could be determined who they were dancing around.
The district says this was all part of its contact tracing system.
Exeter High School Principal Mike Monahan reports students and parents' feedback has been positive.
He says, we hope the community will understand that while no model is perfect, this model let the students enjoy a close to normal and highly desired experience to cap off their senior year.
That's the memory we want to leave them with.
So they marked him.
With a magic marker.
Put a tattoo on their arm.
Yeah.
Well, just 666.
That's the only number I'd want if I was at the prom.
Yeah.
You know what's missing from all these stories?
And it just kind of surprises me.
Especially these more recent ones.
Do you remember?
This is probably, I'm thinking, in the late 80s, maybe?
That little toy that came out of Japan that was a little...
Tamagotchi?
Yeah!
Remember that?
Darling, I know how to talk to you after all these years.
I read your mind.
Yes, the Tamagotchi.
Yeah.
Well, that would be a contact tracing mechanism that would be dynamite.
Oh, give them a little tchotchke.
Yeah, and it'd be cool because people could wear the thing and they wouldn't feel that they were marked.
Except by a nice Hello Kitty Tamagotchi.
Yeah.
I'm not Mark.
Well, John, you have a job in the government waiting for you.
I do.
You're filled with great ideas.
I've worked for the government before I know how it works.
You got great ideas.
I'd fit right in, believe me.
Yeah, you got great ideas.
Tamagotchi.
It'd be called a Kovagotchi.
There you go.
Right in the naming, right away.
A little update on the nurses striking here in Texas at the Houston Hospital.
The judge threw the lawsuit out.
He said, you can't sue them over.
It's a right to work.
They can fire you and you can leave, but you can't sue them because they mandate this.
What kind of a judge is this?
Shitty one, I think.
Well, I'd say so.
This is an experimental drug.
You can't force people to take it.
Well, see, the thing, they didn't even get to that.
The judge just dismissed the lawsuit without really even...
That's the whole point, is to get into something like that.
So this judge, I don't just think, didn't want to touch it.
Just like, no.
I'll have none of that.
None of that at all.
No, there's more ways to skin a cat.
Yes.
And I think that's it, other than a recommendation from several producers.
And I've seen one episode, and I really do, and I've seen a pertinent episode, which was produced and released at the end of, somewhere mid-2019, British TV series called Utopia.
Which must be seen when it comes to predictive programming, particularly considering the timing.
And this is literally a corporation that releases a virus to create demand for a vaccine that sterilizes the world's population.
Yeah, I know.
I know about this.
Have you seen it?
Have you seen it?
No, I haven't seen it.
I haven't gotten around to it.
I get it.
I get the idea.
I mean, what do I need to see it for?
It's pretty funny.
I want to see if there's anything else we haven't thought of yet that's still coming.
You get a lot of inspiration.
Just like the men in black.
Yeah.
Who pick up the trades.
Okay, I do have one final clip to round this out.
This is a continuation of the distraction.
Is this a bat virus or a lab virus?
And we knew...
A year ago, more than a year ago, the Canadian researchers were involved.
We followed the Chinese researchers who were ceremoniously kicked out, unceremoniously kicked out of the lab.
And there's a little update from Canada.
In 2019, Jian Gochu, her biologist husband, Kirin Cheng, and her Chinese students were stripped of their security clearances and escorted from the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg.
Just months after Chu sent a shipment of Ebola and Hennepa viruses to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Will he acknowledge espionage was involved in the Winnipeg lab incident?
The public health agency has agreed...
I'm sorry?
That guy sounds like Bill Gates.
Oh, let me listen to that.
Involved in the Winnipeg Lab incident.
Yeah, it has a bit of that Seattle thing going on there.
I agree.
Will he acknowledge espionage was involved in the Winnipeg Lab incident?
The Public Health Agency has agreed to give unredacted documents to the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, which has the highest security clearance.
This work can't be done without teamwork.
In 2018, Chu received a Governor General's Award for Innovation for her work on a treatment for Ebola.
Some of that work was done with scientists affiliated with the Chinese military.
This needs to be a wake-up call for Canada.
It appears that, you know, what you might well call Chinese agents infiltrated one of the highest-prized national security elements when it comes to biosecurity.
This security expert agrees.
If there's information that's going from us to a hostile foreign state, that is something that has significant ramifications.
Despite regular visits to their two Winnipeg homes, Chu and Chang have never been reached for comment.
The two scientists remain under RCMP investigation.
Their whereabouts are unknown.
You know, I get the feeling, you know, the Chinese, I would say the main thing they're good at is copying stuff.
They copy stuff, they make it and they sell it real cheap.
And they steal intellectual property.
Do you think that maybe they just have stolen everything they need?
And maybe that's why the Hollywood thing is falling apart.
They've got all the studios.
They know how to do it.
They were trained by Hollywood.
Maybe they're just pulling back, they've got it, and now they're just going to blanket us with everything.
I've thought about this too.
They also have a, in fact, one of our producers, one of our, I think he's a knight, works for one of the Chinese car companies.
Lives in Oakland, or somewhere around here.
Electrics.
I've thought about this a number of times.
The Chinese have stolen so much stuff up until now, That they're pretty much caught up with everything we can do.
They don't need us anymore.
Yeah, exactly.
But they still, if you read the...
Story about the breakup with Hollywood, they still have an issue with creating stories.
Maybe I should re-clip some of this stuff that this guy said, but he says their storytelling is still kind of...
has an overhang of government oversight.
You can't say that.
It's like the guys who did the movie.
They did one of those Hong Kong...
There's movies that used to be made in Hong Kong when the film industry was big there.
Now they try to do a story where the police don't catch the guy, and it gets pulled from the script.
The Chinese oversight guy says, no, we always catch the guy.
You can't show that the police aren't effective at catching the guy.
So if you always catch the guy and everything's perfect, what kind of storytelling can you do?
They can't have corrupt police.
You can't have anything.
You can't have boneheads.
You can't have anything.
And so they have an issue with storytelling.
And that's what makes movies.
So yeah, they can steal the technology.
They can make a movie.
But the storytelling is just vapid.
Well, it's not just the storytelling, but they just absolutely won't allow certain things.
No, and they won't allow most things.
So there's that.
Now, in terms of stealing, like making cars and doing all the stuff that we do, yeah, they can flood us with probably good quality cars if they wanted to.
That's just waiting in the wings.
And Boeing 7, you know, 737s.
Remake planes, everything.
Sure.
They'll be doing planes pretty soon.
But I guess what I'm saying is they don't really need to be here performing espionage anymore.
Oh, we got kicked out.
Oh, well.
We got all we needed.
No, I think that's probably true.
But the thing that always kind of gets me is you got some foreign agents doing espionage in this country.
How come they're not in jail?
They just kick them out of the country.
They should be in maximum security prisons.
They're lined up and shot like they do in China.
Like China did with all of our CIA guys.
A good old-fashioned firing squad.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Yummy.
As long as it's televised and we get the rights to produce it, I'm all in.
That's the television.
That's what people want to see.
That's what people want to see.
I'm telling you, they love that stuff.
They do.
They line up.
I'd like to play one clip to lead you into the G7, since you seem to be on the beat.
Oh, I do have the G7 stuff, yes.
I have an opening clip.
This is the promo.
Boris Johnson doing a much better job as a promoter of the event, as a television host.
This is a little one-minute clip they put together to get everybody all jacked up and excited about Cornwall.
I've lived in the United Kingdom.
Yeah.
It's hard to get people jacked about Cornwall.
We have friends in Cornwall.
Yeah, but it's not like, ooh, wow, Cornwall.
Well, it sounds good.
Yeah, it sounds good.
And he set the tone, and it was exclusively your No Agenda show that caught the tone for this G7 well over a year and a half ago.
This year's G7 Summit in Cornwall will be about how we build back better.
The pandemic has been the biggest test the world has seen for generations.
And as the most prominent grouping of democratic countries, the world will look to the G7 to apply our shared values and diplomatic might to the challenge of defeating the pandemic and leading a global recovery.
This will be the first in-person gathering of G7 leaders in almost two years.
And the UK has invited leaders from Australia, India, South Africa and South Korea to deepen the expertise and experience around the table.
This is our opportunity to set out how we respond to the global problems we all face.
Improving global health, tackling climate change, giving every child in the world a quality education.
And building a coalition for openness that will bring prosperity to our people and the world.
The G7 has long been the catalyst for decisive international action.
This year's summit in Cornwall will be no different.
By working together, we can build back better.
For a better life beyond your freedom.
Build back better for someone else.
They should have hired us.
We could have done a much better job.
We got the songs.
What is it?
Damn classical music driving people into a crescendo frenzy.
Build Back Better.
It's all about the Build Back Better.
Our jingle for Build Back Better is worth a million dollars.
At least.
At least.
And residuals forever.
And Bojo, and I'll be quiet, Bojo doubled down during the press conference just to reiterate how he believes in building back better.
That's what they're there for, and he's all in.
He is the man.
Building back better together, and building back greener, and building back fairer, and building back more equal.
Hold on, you're going to miss it.
You don't want to talk over this.
It's almost done.
Equal.
And how shall I? In a more gender neutral and perhaps a more feminine way.
Oh, please.
Whoa!
What a cock!
What happened to him?
Something.
In a more feminine way.
Well, thanks.
I feel a part of the team now, Bojo.
Gender neutral, build back better, and then he went into, but perhaps more feminine.
Maybe it's just me.
Maybe it's just me.
No, you're right.
So, I don't even know what they did this meeting for because you got a lot of mixed messages, but I thought the best, probably the best rundown of it in terms of what we are supposed to believe happened would be from CBS. Okay.
And they did the rundown on Saturday with this bubbly black woman.
I can't remember her name.
I can't remember her name, but she's on the weekend beat.
And she is just happy as a clam.
And she's smiling.
It's like happy news from the 70s.
It's just really old-fashioned.
And this is telling us what's going on with the G7. And she's just jumping for joy.
And Biden's kicking ass over it.
He's totally kicking ass.
So this is G7 CBS 1.
Good evening.
Today, President Biden declared the U.S. is back at the meeting of G7 leaders in England.
Once again, allies are being embraced, not alienated, and officials are praising common solutions to global problems.
But their united front is already being put to the test over how to best check China's ambitions and stop Russian meddling.
CBS's Nancy Cordes is at the G7 covering it all.
Nancy, good evening.
Adriana, we learned today that the president will not be making a joint appearance with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the two sit down in Geneva next week.
The White House looking to create as much contrast as possible between that conversation and the ones taking place here in Cornwall.
Repairing alliances, one handshake at a time.
Today, President Biden met one-on-one with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Hold on a second.
You saw this video.
Were they shaking hands?
Yeah.
Well, why did they do all that elbow bullshit then for the photo that everyone was playing?
They were shaking hands left and right.
But then what?
Okay.
That's odd.
Repairing alliances, one handshake at a time.
Stop, stop.
I will say, if you listen to 10 different reports, you're going to get 10 different impressions.
It's almost like an elephant.
But to CBS, which is the mouthpiece for the government, I think this is the report that they want us to believe.
Okay.
Repairing alliances one handshake at a time.
Today, President Biden met one-on-one with French President Emmanuel Macron.
As we say back in the States, we're on the same page.
All of the G7 leaders came together today to announce a new global infrastructure initiative called the Build Back Better World Partnership.
Yes, that is a reference to a frequent White House slogan.
We're going to build back better.
We build back better.
The G7 countries are vowing to work together to marshal hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure investment for low- and middle-income countries in the coming years.
It's a move designed to compete with a well-financed Chinese infrastructure initiative in 70 countries that's known as Belt and Road.
I think it's great to have the U.S. President part of the club and very willing to cooperate.
It was August of 2020 when we got the first clip from Antonio Gueras, the Secretary General of the United Nations for Build Back Better.
The way it's presented by CBS to the American public in that particular clip was that Biden invented it.
The White House did.
It's our guys.
We did it.
And everyone's copying us because we're the leaders now.
We're back to being leaders.
We're not being a bunch of douchebags like when Trump was running.
That's right.
We're back on the map.
We're making friends with everybody, sharing our brilliant marketing.
Yeah.
That's when they played that clip and they had Biden say Build Back Better and they had Bojo say it.
Oh yeah.
As though he copied it from us.
Now this bubbly black woman, what's her name?
Adrienne?
Adrienne or Adrienne.
Did she at any point mention the obvious fact that if you look at all of these G7 leaders, that that's pretty much the white Supreme Gang right there?
Did she mention that?
That it was not a lot of, I don't know, diversity?
No, she didn't mention that.
She's not allowed to say something like that.
Those are the true white supremacists, including the Queen.
Well, that's overlooked, but let's play part two of the CBS Renda.
Looking ahead to next week, the White House announced today that President Biden will not hold a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin following their summit, as his predecessor did at the last summit.
He just said it's not Russia.
In a statement, the Biden White House suggested Putin can't be trusted to tell the truth in such a setting.
A solo press conference is the appropriate format to clearly communicate with the free press the topics that were raised in the meeting, especially in areas where we have significant concerns.
In a new interview, Putin said the Russia-U.S. relationship has hit a low point.
President Biden, of course, is radically different from Trump because President Biden is a career man.
He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics.
And it is my great hope that, yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will not be any impulse-based movements on behalf of the sitting U.S. President.
As the G7 talks draw to a close here, the leaders were treated to a dramatic flyover, emphasizing the red, white, and blue.
Tomorrow, the President and the First Lady will take tea with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle before he flies across the English Channel for a NATO summit on Monday in Brussels.
Adriana?
What was this red, white, and blue flyover?
Was it our guys, or was it the Arrows from the UK? I think it was the Arrows.
Hmm.
But red, white, and blue is kind of us, isn't it?
That's the way they put it.
They did a little needling of Trump in there, but they left out the part where Putin actually complimented Trump for being, you know, not a dummy like Biden.
Why put that in there?
Not leaving that in there.
And they make a big deal about how important it is to do this press conference without Putin because it's to serve the free press.
Guys, they're just like out of control over there.
I love that.
With just nothing but blatant bull crap.
But let's listen to a version of this.
The same kind of different...
Actually doing some, I think, mixed messaging.
This is the...
Mixed message NPR, not the climate one, the regular one.
49 seconds.
This is NPR's report on G7. It's kind of different than the CBS report.
The White House says group of seven leaders support President Biden's push to call out China over allegations of forced labor in Xinjiang.
As NPR's Franco Ordonez reports...
Not even mentioned in the CBS report.
I'm sorry?
That wasn't even mentioned in the CBS report.
The CBS report made it sound as though everything's just...
Build back better, hunky-dory, Biden's back, he's leading the way, and they don't bring up one short quote from him where he still can't sound cognizant.
But you know, NPR is very serious.
As NPR's Franco Ordonez reports, there are signs that leaders are leaning towards speaking out.
How aggressively to confront China has been a sticking point between G7 leaders.
Some of them worry about damaging crucial economic ties with the Chinese government.
But Biden officials told reporters that leaders now seem ready to call out China's malign practices, including human rights violations and non-market economic practices.
The officials wouldn't say whether leaders would name China in their final joint statement of the summit.
That comes out Sunday.
So far, the G7 leaders have agreed to donate vaccines to less developed countries and also help with big infrastructure projects to counter China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Oh, okay.
This is very interesting.
And I'm glad you got this because, no, of course, it's so hard to get anything.
It's not like they have a webcam, like they're streaming this shit live.
No, that would be too transparent.
Again, Biden has quite an anti-China stance.
Now, from a PR perspective, yeah, that would make sense.
Um...
I wonder how much, if this is coordinated with China, that he's doing this, that he's saying these things.
I don't think so.
I'm going to go a little rough on you guys, just to make appearances.
Yeah, I don't think the Chinese are into that.
They're into a lot of weird crap, but not that, no.
So, they could retaliate, possibly.
Well, I know.
I'm sure they will in some way.
I think they're probably doing it now by shipping tons of stuff to us.
Yeah.
There's another thing that they brought up on the NPR, which is the other mixed messages clip, which is on climate.
Max Lawson is disappointed that leaders aren't doing much on climate change.
He's head of policy at Oxfam.
He says climate change has been on the G7 agenda since 2003 with few results.
It is great that Joe Biden has given new impetus to climate talks, which are crucial and happening at the end of the year in the UK.
But the G7 needs to do a lot more if we're going to stop climate chaos.
He says developing countries need financial help in the fight against climate change.
Climate chaos.
Yeah, climate chaos.
That's old verbiage.
I can't believe that someone didn't call him on that.
Well, he's an Oxfam, you know.
Oh, yes.
I have a G7 clip about climate from Prince Charles.
Oh, God.
Yes.
And Prince Charles is one of the architects of the Great Reset, one of the architects of Build Back Better, the slogan, I'm sure, World Economic Forum master, along with Klaus, and just listen to what he says.
In the UK, the environment took centre stage at the G7 summit in Cornwall as the Queen hosted world leaders at the Eden Project, an exhibition showcasing the world's ecological riches.
Safeguarding global biodiversity is a G7 theme, with the leaders aiming for agreement to protect at least 30% of the planet's land and oceans by 2030.
It's a topic that's always been close to the heart of Prince Charles.
The fight against this terrible pandemic provides, if ever one was needed, A crystal clear example of the scale and sheer speed at which the global community can tackle crises when we combine political will with business ingenuity and public mobilization.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are doing it for the pandemic.
So, if you don't mind me saying so, we must also do it for the planet.
You know what that means.
Lock it down, baby.
Lock them down.
I wonder if these monarchs understand that globalization doesn't benefit them in any way whatsoever.
Maybe it protects some of their wealth.
Maybe it doesn't.
Well, they're just playing the role.
I don't think that the monarchs, they've just been going along for a long time now.
It's all the money people.
It's the money people who run everything.
You got the money, you run everything.
You know what I'm hearing?
What's cropping up again in conversations when you see these kinds of globalists and talking about this stuff?
The Georgia Guidestones.
Oh, not again.
Yes, the Georgia Guidestones are popping up.
They want to kill us all!
500 million, that's all!
That's what they want to do.
Instead, what you probably won't hear at the G7 is the 130,000 people who became homeless during the pandemic in the UK. Or in England, I should say.
130,000.
That's a lot.
Yeah.
And then the complete takeover of the housing market.
Now...
I'm just putting this here in this G7 because it's globalist, horrible crap.
When we were looking at moving, I immediately came with a report that it looks like investors are buying up all the homes.
They're paying 20%, 30%, 40% overpriced.
They're not going to flip them.
They're going to turn it all into rentals.
All part of you will owe nothing and you will be happy.
And that was poo-pooed.
Not by you necessarily, but it was poo-pooed.
No, I wasn't poo-pooing it.
I knew this was going on.
The former New York banker poo-pooed it.
Oh, that's interesting that he's also the one who predicted that Goldman Sachs was going under.
Does that happen yet?
That, I'm seeing him on the 23rd.
That may happen.
If you look at the reverse repos, we have the same...
First, let me play this, and then I want to say something about Goldman Sachs.
So this is the CEO of BlackRock.
And as it turns out, everyone has been emailing me this, BlackRock has indeed been doing this exact same thing with their real estate investment fund.
They have been buying up these houses in Austin as well.
They have like $7 trillion under management.
They truly, along with Vanguard, these guys really own and control a lot.
Yes!
$7 trillion?
I don't think so.
Okay, hold on a second.
BlackRock Assets Under Management.
This is how you do it, people.
This is how you Google.
You know one of my favorite things to do, people say, ask me a question on an email.
And so I'll do the Google search that they should have done and then cut and paste the Google search so when they click on the link, it brings up the Google search page with the search term in the box.
That's why you have let me Google that for you.
It's the same thing.
You go to Let Me Google that for you.
I think it's.com.
You do the search and it gives you a link that comes back and says, okay, you lazy ass, here it is.
By the way, I was wrong.
I was wrong.
It's $8.7 trillion in assets.
They have $8.7 trillion in assets?
Mm-hmm.
They should be nationalized.
Well, let's see about Vanguard because that's the other one.
That's what all the politicians are in.
Vanguard...
$7 trillion.
Oh, you must have mixed the two up.
Together, these guys have almost $16 trillion of assets under management.
And they're coming for your house, kids!
Hello, millennials!
Bye-bye!
Another way to do it today is we have things called private REITs.
We at Blackstone have a vehicle called B-REIT. Which today owns primarily logistics and rental apartments across the Southeast and Southwest of the United States.
It is a product that we're very proud of because historically, people did not do a great job offering private real estate to individual investors.
And we've really focused on trying to deliver a first-class product and done by our people in the right way.
Yeah, the right way.
It's a huge wealth transfer.
You even said it.
This should be made illegal.
This should be outlawed, this practice.
This is very, very bad.
It's bad for the country.
It's really bad for the country.
It's just bad.
I mean, when you don't have a house that you can build up some equity in...
Yeah, you're screwed.
I mean, it took me...
I didn't start seriously doing that until my 50s, but okay.
I'm way behind on the ball, so I speak from experience.
This guy is just...
And they own so much.
There was a good report on one of the networks the other day and it was some couple, well-to-do couple.
They had a really nice place in Connecticut and they wanted to move someplace else.
And they got caught in this thing and they got a good price for their house in Connecticut and then couldn't buy anything.
Because whatever they tried to do, It was being bought up by BlackRock, and it was specifically BlackRock that was buying in this area that they were looking into.
So they ended up moving into a trailer.
Now they're nomads.
The family moved into a trailer?
Yeah.
Yes.
Because they couldn't buy a place.
I take it back.
They had to start renting in a one-year deal.
No, they got screwed.
It could have happened to you, by the way.
It could have, yeah.
Well, we kind of did...
Go ahead.
Well, I'm just saying, in the olden days, I mean, I've been in and out of real estate since the 70s, and it was always a no-brainer.
Do you sell?
Buy.
Right.
And everything would transfer over, a lot of paperwork to sign, but you would sell a place and then buy a place.
It wasn't like you sold and then you couldn't buy a place.
You know what I'm most sad about?
That I had to sell my Airstream years ago.
That thing, it would cost a lot of money, but that thing is now, because you can't get them, it'll go for $120,000, $130,000.
Wow!
The big RV maker, I forget their name, have a backlog of $4 billion.
$4 billion.
Yes, $4 billion.
$4 billion.
And I think a lot of people are choosing to Americans are nomads, but Americans are all good at nomadic stuff.
We're kind of like that.
Well, the movie Nomadland, which won the Academy Award, is worth watching.
Huh.
That's what it's about.
It's pretty much about people stuck in these trailers.
It's an inspirational piece of work, I understand.
I haven't seen it yet.
I don't know about that.
It's kind of depressing.
And you got that woman, that actress, McDermott, whatever her name is.
Yeah, she's great.
She must have been fantastic.
She's depressing.
She's a depressing person.
Yeah, but okay.
I haven't seen it.
Every single time, Tina and I are like, yeah, we'll watch that movie.
And then we're sitting on the couch like...
I don't want to be depressed.
I do that for a living.
I don't want to see this shit.
I wouldn't say it's depressing, depressing, depressing.
It's interesting.
It's a very interesting movie.
Because it does bring out a subculture that you know it's there, but you never thought about it much.
Well, I know that because I traveled around the country with the Airstream.
I saw it.
People live like this and they're very happy.
Extremely happy.
They got a nice RV. They got a car parked next to it.
They got, you know, they're outdoors.
They can cook outside.
Yeah, they go from here to there.
It's safe.
You know, if you're paying for a place, it's safe.
Yeah.
And it's kind of an American thing.
But, yeah, if we hadn't found something outside of Austin, you know, If Pflugerville wasn't there, it would have been a problem for us too.
We couldn't buy anything back here in Austin, not that we want to, but you can't.
Just forget about it.
I mean, one bedroom, I think a studio apartment is going for $1.4 million.
What?
Yeah, it's nuts, man.
Well, that's the same thing.
Well, that's been going on even when we were at Mevio.
San Francisco was showing that kind of thing.
Because down the street, there was a couple of real estate places and they had all the stuff in the windows.
And you go by it and you look at the listings.
And it's like studio, one bedroom condo in some building.
It's got just like 900 square feet, 1.1 million.
Who's going to live in 900 square feet for that kind of money?
And people were standing in line outside of the shop to buy an $8 grilled cheese sandwich.
Remember?
There was a grilled cheese sandwich place across the street.
Eight bucks for a grilled cheese sandwich.
But that's exactly...
That combination is why I personally did not want to be here.
It was the tech bros coming in, talking about their SPACs.
Stepping over the homeless people, not really caring, prices going through the roof, and so you know what's next.
It's going to be overrun with homeless.
They still have not changed anything in Austin.
They're talking about a three-year, three-to-five-year plan to purchase enough housing for the unhoused in order to fulfill the reinstatement of the camping ban.
They haven't moved anybody.
They can't buy any housing at all with the REITs taking it over.
Well, they're buying...
They just bought a hotel and they had a budget up to $9 million.
It's a $4 million piece of property.
And they paid $9 million for it.
And remember, our mayor is a real estate attorney.
This stinks to high hell what these people are doing.
Everything is political.
It's disgusting.
So Austin will become San Francisco.
I'm sorry to say it.
So, we're leaving and re-entering the state of Texas.
That's how we view it.
And with that, I'd like to thank you.
You're actually becoming a Texan, finally.
I am.
I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the CBS Government News, John C. Devorak.
In the morning to you, Mr.
Adam Curry.
Also, in the morning to the ships at sea and the feet in the air and the subs in the water and the dames and the knights out there.
In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
Hands up, trolls.
You're going to get counted.
Here you go.
Someone do the counts for me.
I can't do it.
I'm logged in.
Did I get it?
And 1,946.
That's pretty good, actually.
A little low for a Sunday.
Well, no, 18.
The 18's for a Sunday, typically.
No, no, no.
Sunday's where you get the 22.
Oh, well.
There you go.
Darn it.
Well, anyway, we'll take these sub-2000 trolls and say in the morning to them, they are hanging out in the troll room.
You can find that at noagendastream.com, where they are now all listening to this show live.
They listened to Darren O'Neill before that, and last night, I think, I don't know who was on last night, but There's always a live show.
If not, you get a podcast running.
Everyone can hear it at the same time.
You don't even have to do that.
Just go in there and chat around.
Troll.
Troll your fellow trolls.
Or follow us at noagendasocial.com.
That would be Adam at noagendasocial.com or John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
You can no longer sign up for an address, but you can follow us from any...
Mastodon server, which are typically free to sign up.
And if you can't find one that you like, you can make one yourself.
You can get one hosted for $5 a month.
Or Federate from your own instance, such as justicewarrior.social.
We have a new one finally.
JusticeWarrior.social federates completely with NoAgendaSocial.com.
That is the only way we'll be able to build out this social network.
And people keep saying, well, why don't we just donate money and we'll keep it running?
And to them I say, you are not a dude named Ben.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
One hiccup, one glitch, anything goes down.
Who's going to handle that?
The amount of data that we're storing, it's off the hook.
You do not want centralized systems.
So justicewarrior.com,.social is a new one to sign up to.
Let's see if we can fill those guys up so we get another one.
And while we're at it, let's say in the morning to the artists for episode 1,354, we titled that one, Facts for Hacks!
And And there wasn't much discussion over this piece of art, which was done by Brad1x, showing the COVID-19 vaccine jab by date as July 4th, 2021.
It kind of hit all the boxes for us.
It was a very nice piece.
Well, what's interesting is that it kind of predicted one of the stories today.
We had this deadline.
You're right.
The expiration date.
Now, a lot of people did Facts for Hacks, but we really liked that as a title, and so we tried to keep the title and the artwork separate.
Well, we should explain that.
If somebody came up with a terrific artwork, we would have bumped the title.
But the art for Facts for Hacks was not that good.
No.
There were several, but nothing quite there.
What else did we have?
We had the Acme COVID testing kit, which we used in the newsletter.
We kind of liked Kenny Ben's vaccine shipped to Africa with the expired stamp on it.
That was good.
I liked Darren's Gitmo Nation variants.
I liked the box with the bat on the side.
Yeah, that's the Acme COVID testing.
Oh yeah, that's the one.
I think I used that newsletter.
Only later did I see the Obama as Karl Marx.
I hadn't seen that one.
I might have mentioned that one had I seen it.
That's a really good...
That's a pretty good morph, actually.
Nailed it.
Yeah, sure did.
There's so much that came by on the last show art-wise.
And if you are using a podcasting 2.0 compatible podcast app, you can see that right now.
Sometimes even a link, it'll take you somewhere.
You can see the transcript.
You can search the transcript.
Looking for that perfect spot in the show you wanted to play to someone.
You can make clips.
These are just a few of the, I think by now, 20 different improvements we've made to podcasting.

You probably won't be disappointed, he said with a great marketing pitch.
And now let's thank the people who brought us much joy by supporting the show with some of their treasure, our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1,355.
Live.
Thank you.
Okay.
Sorry, I'm digging up some emails from some people that I don't see.
All right, you want me to start it off then and get us going?
No, I can do that.
I got the ones I need.
Okay.
I'll tell you to take it.
Actually, you can take the baronet.
Let me do the anonymous freight dog.
Okay.
1-3-5-5-0-1.
The anonymous freight dog comes in from parts unknown, it looks.
Long-time listener.
Yada, yada, yada.
Please de-douche.
You've been de-douched.
He wants to be knighted as Sir Anonymous Freight Dog, so actually right now he's only anonymous freight dog, but he'll be Sir.
Yes, he will.
Adding a penny for the jar.
Adam, stay safe.
Keep up the great work.
Love, peace, and hair grease.
All right.
Now, he is also a rare episode club member.
Yes.
They're less rare for some reason nowadays.
Reasons unknown to me.
Yes.
Well, I love it when people do that.
So a special double credit and a nighting later on.
Looking forward to it.
Then we have Baronetess Laura from Daleville, Virginia.
523.70.
Interesting number.
Happy almost flag day!
When is it flag day?
You know...
When somebody said that, I think it was her note.
I said, oh man, Flag Day is something we usually produce.
Great promotion.
Great promotion.
But we did nothing.
We missed it.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Happy Almost Flag Day.
It's been way too long since my last donation.
More than a year.
But as we're almost empty nesters, it's time to contribute to the best podcast in the universe.
Just a couple of favors.
First, John, could you please add me to the wine list?
It would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not on the wine list.
I will put up a wine list subscription link eventually.
I want to be on the list.
Why?
Why?
So I can read about...
Why?
Yeah, why?
Because I can tell you everything just directly.
You're one of the few people that can contact me when in a restaurant.
This should cost everyone $1,000, by the way.
Oh, my God.
I so want to make an app for you.
Because you always will pick up if there's money involved.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They tend to be that way, yes.
We've enjoyed wines from Sarlouis and Sons and the Verite wines based on your recommendations.
Yes, I have that as well.
You bought the...
Wait, hold on a second.
You bought some of the Verite wines?
Those things are not cheap.
They sent it to me.
Oh, you?
Yes, me.
Yes.
Oh, I thought you were reading from the notes.
No, she said, I am.
I am.
She said, we've enjoyed wines from Sarlouis and Sons and Verite wines.
And I said, I have as well, is what I said.
Oh, no, I'm talking about them.
No, they bought it.
Yeah, you got some free.
This stuff is not for the weak of heart.
No, it's special vintage.
Got all kinds of writing on it that makes it look very important.
It's very important wine.
We've enjoyed wines from Sarlus& Sons and Verite wines based on your recommendations, so if you have any other thoughts, we'll continue to drink well.
We're in Virginia, and the wines here are many, but not necessarily spectacular.
As it stands, our favorite Virginia wines are RDV and Barbersville, for what it's worth.
Comments?
The Chardonnays from Virginia are very acceptable.
Also, I'm not worthy compared to many other producers.
I always look forward to hearing from Seronymous of Dogpatch, and I hope he's doing well.
Have we heard him from...
Did we hear from him this month yet?
Not yet, no.
We always hope he's doing well.
I'm the producer who asked for the Nothing But A Dame song, which was spectacular.
If others more talented than I could come up with an introduction to honor Sironymous, it would be appreciated.
Otherwise, I just want to thank you for keeping me sane over many, many years.
Thank you again for everything you do, and John, don't stay safe, but live dangerously!
No jingles, no karma.
Love you both.
Baronetis Laura.
Nice.
Oh, that's a sweet note.
Thank you, Laura.
You're very sweet.
And she came in for $523.70 in Daleville.
Yeah.
How about Michael Rulon in Austin, Texas?
I have a note from him.
All right.
I guess I was looking up.
And I have to switch to my email.
And when it gives me...
Right here.
Michael Rulon.
Mike.
In the morning, I realized that my recent surgery, the total number of lymph nodes that have been removed from my body is 33.
I know we had that many lymph nodes in the body.
No idea about that.
So I knew it was time to donate once again and finally take the plunge into knighthood, counting below.
Oh, okay.
Hold on a second.
I don't believe he's on the list then, is he?
I wouldn't think so.
Okay.
All right.
He liked to be called Sir Hareheel of Austin.
Okay.
Sir Hareheel.
If it pleases the peerage committee.
Well, you can call yourself whatever you want.
I don't have a problem with that.
Sir Hareheel of Austin.
Could I get some F Cancer Karma?
And I would appreciate some non-alcoholic bourbon, but not the magical kind that actually tastes good.
What?
Non-alcoholic bourbon.
But the lousy stuff he wants.
The lousy stuff.
Okay.
Along with a glass and some ice cubes.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you both for your courage, Sir Hair Heel of Austin.
Is Heel with E-A-L? No, H-E-E-L. Okay.
Like a shoe.
Okay.
And did he need an F-cancer?
Yes, F-cancer.
For him.
You've got karma.
Well, sadly, that's two in a row because Quint Newell comes in with 333 parts unknown.
ITM dudes.
Been listening for a while around the time Trump smoked Soleimani.
So long overdue.
Giant de-douching, please.
You've been de-douched.
And he says, and F cancer, got some shit news about my mom this week.
Appreciate you both.
Peace, he says, from Q. I'm sorry, sorry to hear that, man, but you never know.
We'll do this.
You've got karma.
Sarah Birch in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, comes in with 333.33, just the same amount.
I've been listening shamefully for several months now and have decided I'll remain a douchebag no longer.
De-douche me, please.
You've been de-douched.
On the topic, although I love them both dearly, please call out Adam and Aaron and Aaron as big old douchebags.
Thanks, John and Adam.
Now, Brian Lewis sent in 333 from Reseda, California.
Huh.
Well, we know who lives in Reseda.
You know who lives in Reseda.
Everyone knows who lives in Reseda.
Straight from Reseda, here she is, Raven!
Give it up!
I think she moved.
The good old Club 33.
After they burned the place down, she left.
I don't know where she is anymore.
So he sent a note, but you know, I look at the whole spreadsheet, and I saw down at the bottom, with $1.33, a secondary note.
So I'll read his first note.
Let's do this, brother, sister, all black, all white, all brown, love Asian, and all is love, you Americans, love you people of the earth, it's like a party!
And then he followed up with his second donation.
Hey, this is the same Brian Lewis that donated 333 late last night.
Please don't read the note attached.
I was drunk.
I need a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
Love the program.
You guys rock.
Thanks, Brian.
Appreciate it.
Looking at it, it's definitely drunk.
Alex Mason, $333, and she's from Parts Unknown, it seems.
Hey, guys, I'm stepping up after months of mooching, the best podcast in the world.
Got to get that straightened out.
I sent $333 separately and would like...
What does it say here?
Oh, she's got one of those notes.
One of those notes that never...
Never ends?
Never...
Yeah.
I would like some, and then it goes on and on off the page.
LAUGHTER To the right.
Never has a carriage return.
Oh, okay.
Anyway, she says something, and you'd like you to play a song I found months ago during a late night search for...
Okay, I'm going to have to reformat this note.
This came in email.
She sent two notes.
She sent another note.
She said, I don't know how to get a note into you guys.
Well, you want to reformat that while I read the next one?
Yeah, let me do that.
It's called WordRap.
Copy, paste in the notepad, word wrap.
Alright, well John's doing that.
We have the bridge keeper from Michigan, 267-67.
You guys are doing interesting numbers today.
Curry and Dvorak insemination group has gone...
Wait a minute.
The Curry and Dvorak insemination group has gone above and beyond!
My tab-drinking sister is pregnant with twins!
And we're responsible, I guess.
Tab is now discontinued by Coca-Cola and is selling for $25 a 12-pack on eBay.
Oh yeah.
Great info.
On the flip side, my wife is still in need of some jobs karma.
She is talking about quitting her job, which is an hour drive from our home, after we have our second child.
Please give her the most hellacious jobs karma mix you can to conjure to her aid in finding a job closer to home.
Well, we can certainly do that.
And what else do we have here?
I was going to bring CRISPR up, and why you guys have not brought that into the coronavirus vaccine conversation.
We have a couple of times.
But I just heard a snippet of CRISPRs.
as I'm listening to the live stream of 1354.
So he sent this on Thursday.
The other topic I was going to bring up is CERN and how I have a feeling that their nuclear research is somehow linked to the global reset.
Hmm.
My guess is there's a development of new nuclear power technology which will diminish the need for fossil fuels and will centralize the production of all energy.
Thank you.
Hmm.
I'm not so sure about that.
It seems to be kind of counter to any narrative that is out there.
It could be.
What we'll do is we'll lay on that heaping of jobs karma for you, girl.
Jobs!
You've got...
Karma.
Yeah, let me read the note now from Alexis.
Hey guys, I'm stepping up after months of mooching of the best podcasts in the world.
I sent $333 separately and would like some good karma for the whole world.
We need it and you can do it.
I would like you to play a song I found months ago during late night search for Is Bill Gates Satan?
You might be humming it for days.
It's my new favorite.
She has a link, a YouTube link.
Thanks.
Which we'll look at.
Maybe in a later show we'll get to that because it's impossible to do it this way.
No, we can't.
Thanks from a loyal listener who appreciates real news.
Alexis Mason from St.
Clair Shores, Michigan.
That's where she is.
My friends call me Lex.
Okay, Lex.
Thank you for that.
Dame Adrienne from Calverton, New York, does a classic, 23456.
We love it.
Please call out my amazing, hard-working husband, Joe, as a douchebag!
Douchebag!
Do the work, she says.
Get your knighthood already!
Please credit this to his knighthood.
He is so close.
XOXO, Dame Adrienne.
Okay, we'll do it.
Does he become a knight today, or are we unaware?
I'm going to check.
Okay, well...
Well, you check.
I'm going to talk about Brendan Flemmer.
That's a great name, Flemmer.
Brendan Flemmer here.
Private Eye.
Brendan Flemmer.
Yeah, Private Eye would be good, but...
222.22 from Bismarck, North Dakota.
And I have been to Bismarck.
First-time donor?
I humbly request a dedouching.
Got it.
You've been dedouched.
I've been a long-time listener and started hitting my smoking hot wife in the mouth when the Kung Fu fiasco started.
After some time, she would ask, Have you ever donated...
I would have to bow my head in shame and say no.
Which she then followed up with, you probably should.
Good woman!
Now my birthday has arrived, June 11th, and she has taken it upon herself to correct this wrong by giving me an associate executive producership.
Thank you, dear, for the great gift, and thank you, No Agenda, for the content you continuously provide.
The following is a note my wife wanted to include.
My keepers note below.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you for several reasons.
This is from the wife.
I have finally suggested a birthday present for my husband that he's excited about.
No more unwanted clothes or useless electronics for him.
This year he is instead receiving dollars for being a no agenda associate producer.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
It's historic.
Two, keeping, because you'll always be the associate executive producer for this show forever.
Always.
Keeping us well informed and grounded in reality over this past year.
Three, I was one of the fearful and anxious masses until my husband started having me listen to segments of your show with him.
Four.
Stop, stop, stop.
Providing us with things to talk about after 19 years of marriage.
Four.
Including, is John irritated or just cranky?
Or how many F-bombs will Adam drop today?
My keeper's note ends.
Jingle request, boogity amen, the short version that is attached, and karma for all who donated Brendan Flemmer.
Oh, man.
So two things.
Three things.
One, if there's something you're attaching which we typically won't play, you have to copy me on the email or just definitely not get played.
Two, Thank you to all the men who had the insight and the relationship they have with their partners.
Men and men, it doesn't matter, but partners who listened to the show, brought their other partner in, and it has not only helped the experience of this past year and a half, but as you can tell here, it strengthens your relationship.
They've got stuff to talk about again.
Yeah, they're not all wired and jerked out of control from the COVID hysteria.
Exactly.
And I love seeing so many women show up in the donations, in the emails, on Mastodon.
Oh man, what is that?
I'm parched.
What are you drinking?
La Croix.
You're back to those hosers who sent you nothing?
What can I do?
It was on sale.
I am reliably informed, by the way, that it is pronounced lacrosse.
I don't care how people think they should pronounce it.
I'm pronouncing it the way I pronounce it, which is LaCroix.
Okay.
Brendan, here is your jingle request.
You've got karma.
*music* And I guess I'll grab this one.
It's interesting how the lower the amount, the longer the note.
It's very funny how that works.
Greg Rubio from...
This note is too long.
I'm going to tell you right now.
Chugiak?
Is that Arkansas?
Uh...
Chugiak.
Chugiak.
I think that's Alaska, isn't it?
A-K? Is A-K Alaska?
Arkansas is...
What's Arkansas?
Is it A-S? A-R, I think.
Oh, you're right.
So it is Alaska.
You're right.
Well, yeah, here we go.
In the morning from the last frontier.
Hello.
I have never donated before, so I'd like a dedouching.
You've been dedouched.
It is crucial that I donate now in the amount of 2.13.33.
2 plus 1, 3.33.
While I'm still 33, since I turned 34 on the 25th.
I was hit in the mouth a little over a year ago by my sizzling, simmering, fiery fiancé, so I would like to dedicate this donation to her.
Ah, here it comes.
Don't we have some romantic music or something?
Hmm...
I was thinking more like the battle music.
Laurie.
Let me find if I can find my recorder.
There we go.
Oh, well, this will work.
Okay.
Romantic, John.
Romantic.
Come on, do it.
Yeah, romantic.
All right.
Laurie.
You are the love of my life, and you make me a better man.
I can't wait to spend the rest of my days resisting the globalist bullcrap with you by my side.
When I first started listening to the show, my amygdala was already a healthy size, as I never believed anything the M5M said.
Anyway, listening to your show made it enlarge because it showed just how severe the propaganda has gotten, how many of my fellow countrymen are blindly falling for it.
But this temporary amygdala enlargement quickly subsided when I realized how many new folks are being awakened every day, greatly attributed to by your show and its producers.
Thankfully, this new hope brought my amygdala back down to a healthy size.
Beautiful.
I mean, we just could not do any better than that.
I mean, there's nothing like a serenade from John's recorder.
Yeah.
Tim Worth.
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, you're still talking?
No, he had some requests.
He wanted jobs karma, baby-making karma.
Isn't that a job by itself?
It's double jobs karma.
And that's true, and a quick answer.
That's true.
I got ants.
I got ants.
I got hands.
You've got karma.
All right, we've got two more to go.

Yep.
Two to go.

A little inspiration.

We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
Water!
Order!
Shut up, slave!
Shut up, slave!
I do have a note I want to read, which clarifies some issue we had in the other show.
Okay.
This is from Loretta Vandenberg, and she writes, I retired as a colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps in 2018.
I received my Joint Specialty Officer designation, which means I've attended joint professional military education as well as served as a joint command.
I worked in Washington, D.C. in the Pentagon for 8 of 28 years on active duty.
I point this out to your show credentials that I'm qualified to answer the question, what is a pacing threat?
Ah, good.
We got several people answering this, and let's compare them.
Go ahead.
Oddly enough, there is no formal definition of the term in the Joint Publication 1-02, the DOD Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms.
However...
Should we just play the pacing clip real quick, just so we can remind everybody what that was?
There's three of them, yeah.
Which one do you want?
Kirby Secrets Pacing?
In all of them, he mentions it every time.
Here we go.
Is that the task force's work was sort of a...
This is the spokeshole for the Pentagon.
Down in Italy.
Kirby.
At the way the department is organized, the way it's structured...
And the way we think about the broader issues of China from a security perspective.
It wasn't meant to be an up-and-out look, so it's not a strategy that has been produced here.
Really, it's an assessment of how the department's doing with respect to truly treating China as the number one Pacing challenge.
And the task force found some gaps and seams, some things that we could be doing better.
And back to your question, the directive issued by the secretary lays out some...
All right.
So the pacing issue, we were both questioning what that was.
Pacing threat, pacing challenge, pacing, pacing, pacing.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so she continues.
Military is not in the book.
However, the term has been widely used for at least a decade to describe a nation or state actor that can plausibly contest the U.S. defense strategy or capabilities.
The highest level intelligence community is presented to the president and the National Security Council.
This intel assessment is needed to create the president's national security strategy, NSS, which is used to develop DOD's defense national defense strategy, NDS, in which the DOD should prioritize threats and the ends, ways and means by which they will encounter those threats.
The short of it is the highest level threat is the pacing threat.
And it should drive budgeting, program development, technology development, etc.
There are always classified parts to these documents.
They are not released to the public.
It can be a complex process.
But I have simplified it for clarity, I hope.
I live in a very rural area and cannot stream the show live.
Otherwise, I'd have answered it in the troll room at Rett.
I've enjoyed your struggle with pronouncing Provencal.
Ha ha ha!
Phonetically, it's pronounced Proven Saul.
I've enjoyed you struggling.
That's very funny.
I hope that this helps.
Thank you, Adam, for what you do.
And John, it's been exhausting for years trying to find any type of unbiased news.
Your program has been a breath of fresh air for me just as much as the clean rural air I breathe daily now.
I'll be listening.
Semper Fi.
We have the best producers.
This is what's so beautiful about this show.
This is a retired colonel?
Yeah.
Marine colonel.
Yeah.
No slouch.
And giving us the real detail.
And she was in the Pentagon for eight years, so...
Yeah.
Send us some challenge coins.
Yes, we could do some more.
I have a similar note, although a little...
A little expanded here and there.
It's from Lost Artists.
Think of a pacing item as a baseline of technology, the capability of employment of technology and or operational or strategic development.
We are starting to see China catching the U.S. in reference to the rate of development deployment of technology in their military.
The other pacing item is the way China incorporates its propaganda army of the CCP into their military operations.
They've taken the total war concept to incorporate the political side of government to leverage their effectiveness.
This is a little different.
Thank you.
The U.S. military have a real difficulty with this as senior leaders in the military are scared to death of not rocking the boat.
Social media responses from, quote, leaders is often unplanned or thought out as how to deal with information and propaganda.
We're still 15 to 20 years ahead of China militarily and will continue to lose our lead at the rate of change in pacing items with China as they grow.
The DOD is unable to affect how we are more and more dependent on China for manufacturing and economic growth.
China's military is involved in that level of strategic development, so they help shape how adversaries are approached holistically.
Okay, well, our military-industrial complex clearly has a manufacturing component.
That's about all that we do.
Okay.
And this, to me, this pacing thing seems like a very nice kind of term, a fuzzy term to use when going for funding.
Yeah, it's a fuzzy term.
It's pretty obvious.
If it's not in the dictionary book that she cited, then it's immediately fuzzy.
Yeah, it's probably used just to get more money.
We already spent a lot.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's that.
Yes.
What else you got?
Well, I do have something here that I want to...
I'm dubious about playing because it's one of these things that you're going to hate.
Oh?
How do you know?
You don't know how...
I can tell.
Because it's a little tedious, I'm not going to like it that much myself.
But...
You know what?
Let's just forget it.
Let's move on.
But Jeffrey Toobin reappeared on CNN. I love this!
That guy got off so easy.
I don't know that he did.
That was my one joke of the day and it didn't work on you.
Oh, damn.
Some of the trolls got it.
Yeah, I should have been on the ball.
That's alright.
In fact, I should have, yeah.
I'm excited.
Well, here's the jokes from the five.
This is five on getting fired.
This is the best they could do.
Talking about tubing.
So, the number five.
Oh, I see.
I gotcha.
Do you think, given that, that the punishment fits the crime?
You know, I am the worst person.
No, no, no, no.
This is five on getting fired.
This is exactly the clip I'm playing.
And that's the clip?
Yes.
17 seconds?
Yes.
Okay, play it again.
Do you think, given that, that the punishment fits the crime?
You know, I am the worst person to ask that question.
That can't be right.
How about the Toobin Gutfeld jokes?
Is that what you were going for?
Yes, let's use that.
13 seconds?
Over to you.
You have five minutes.
I think the best part about the interview is that you could see his hands, so that's important.
I was told by an insider at CNN that they had the whole interview on a seven-second delay in case he started frantically masturbating.
Oh, God.
That's the best they could do.
My joke was better.
Your joke was better.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Which is astonishing to me.
Oh, really?
So let's listen.
Now, so here's the way I have it separated up.
This is clip number one.
This is where she asks, she brings him on the show to talk about some, he's the legal guy, he's supposed to come on it, and she never asks him about the story she's doing, she just starts grilling him about this.
Who is interviewing him, do you know?
I have her name on set the other day.
I can go grab it while you're playing this clip and I'll tell you who it is.
So, he goes into this long apology.
He, by the way, is smirking and he's smug.
This is not going to fly.
He's smirking the whole time.
I heard it was a really touching interview.
I got that one.
Oh, you just got that from the trolls.
Of course, of course.
It feeds you crap.
At least I don't have to pay for them.
Tell those jerk-offs to get out of here.
Onward.
So he apologizes, and then after he's done with this long apology, she comes right back at him.
And he gives another whole apology.
And then she comes right back at him.
And he gives another whole apology.
It's the funniest thing.
I only have five of them.
She did it seven times.
Now, okay, so what happened is they let him come back.
Is he back at the New York Times?
Is he back there?
New Yorker.
Is he back at New Yorker?
No.
And has there been any statement?
Is there an official press release that says, you know, we feel that he's had a long enough time out?
No.
Just he just shows up.
What you're going to hear is the whole thing.
And the thing is, the follow-up joke to me is that, well, they wouldn't take him back as a New Yorker, but CNN would take him back because they're all jerk-offs anyway.
Yes.
So here we go with clip one.
Let's bring in CNN Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin to talk about this and more.
Hi Jeffrey.
Alison Camerota.
It's been a while.
It has been a while, indeed.
I feel like we should address what's happened in the months since we've seen you, since some of our viewers may not know what has happened.
So I guess I'll recap.
I'll do the honors.
Help yourself.
In October, you were on a Zoom call with your colleagues from the New Yorker magazine.
Everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera.
You were subsequently fired from that job after 27 years of working there.
And you, since then, have been on leave from CNN. Do I have all that right?
You got it all right.
Sad to say.
Okay, so let's start there.
To quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking?
Well, obviously, I wasn't thinking very well or very much, and it was something that was inexplicable to me.
I think one point, I wouldn't exactly say in my defense, because nothing is really in my defense, I didn't think I was on the call.
I didn't think other people could see me.
You thought that you had turned off your camera?
Correct.
I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call.
Now, that's not a defense.
This was deeply moronic and indefensible.
But, I mean, that is part of the story.
And, you know, I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly...
Confess.
I'm trying to be a better person.
I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly am going to continue to do, working on a new book about the Oklahoma City bombing, but I am trying to become the kind of person that people can trust again.
Okay.
I love this.
Is that Alison Camaretta?
I think that's who that is?
Yeah, I think so.
And by the way, The Five brought this up.
This poor woman is given this chore.
It's the Michael Strahan gig, man.
It's the Michael Strahan gig.
And so given the chore, this is the reason I believe she stretched it out so long.
If you're going to make me do this with this guy...
I'm going to go all the way.
I'm going to take this.
I'm going to just keep this going as long as I can.
It went on for a half hour.
Now, tell me that she, since we've, you know, she's been very explicit.
You were caught masturbating on Zoom.
So we're there, right?
So now we've gotten kind of the uncomfortable thing is out.
We're talking about it.
Did she then say, what exactly was it?
That got you all worked up.
Was it one of your co-workers on the Zoom?
Were you looking at porn?
I mean, that's what I want to know.
What is it that in a business call you're like, oh man, I just got to jack off right now.
That would be the information.
That's a good question.
It's a great question.
I rarely use that term.
Yeah, holy moly.
But that's the question she should have asked somewhere in there.
Instead, she just mostly wanted him to swing in the wind.
The guy's there, you know, hanging there.
So it seems to me that the question's been asked and answered already.
But let's go to part two because she brings it.
Okay, I'm on here.
You have to do this.
Here we go again.
One more time.
I'm sure you've replayed that embarrassing moment over and over.
Oh, if only we had video.
Many times.
Have you ever thought about what it must have been like to be on the receiving end of that Zoom call?
Well, I haven't just thought about it.
I've spoken to several of my former colleagues at The New Yorker about it.
And, you know, they...
Were shocked and appalled.
I think they realized that this was not intended for them.
I think they realized that this was something that I began apologizing.
And that is something that I have tried to continue to do, both publicly and privately.
We've covered a lot of political scandals.
And we've heard what I like to think of as the politician apology, which is, you know, I'm sorry if you were offended.
Which always sounds to me like, I've said the words, now get off my back.
That's exactly what I've tried not to do.
I've tried, and I'm trying now, to say how sorry I am.
Sincerely, in all seriousness.
Above all, I am sorry to my wife and to my family, but I'm also sorry to the people on the Zoom call.
I'm sorry to my former colleagues at The New Yorker.
I'm sorry to my current, fortunately still, colleagues at CNN. And I'm sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN and who thought I was a better person than this.
And so, you know, I got a lot to rebuild, but I feel very privileged and very lucky that I'm going to be able to try to do that.
Wow, you know, of all the...
America is doing this show for as long as we have.
We know that American men really only get in trouble for one thing, and politics or media, it's for their penis.
They're putting it in the wrong place.
This is the first guy who really got...
You know, it's getting this whole shakedown for this.
And this is a whole long segment.
I mean, is this now, at this point, anti-man?
I mean, did they have psychologists come in and talk about why men masturbate?
They should have done that.
I'm interested.
As you heard that clip, which I took a big part of it and sped up to get through it, it was long and apologetic, and he apologized again.
He's done.
This is the end.
Finally, after one apology, now he's done another one.
But no.
She's not happy.
Because she has to do the segment, so here she comes again.
I mean, one of the ironies of this whole incident is that for decades you have covered the bad judgment and sexual proclivities of public figures and politicians, like Bill Clinton and Anthony Weiner and Eliot Spitzer and Donald Trump, and I could go on.
And so, you know, of course it begs the question, why didn't you have better judgment?
Exactly.
Because I didn't have better judgment.
Because I'm a flawed human being who makes mistakes.
And, you know, there is no defense for my conduct.
It was wrong, it was stupid, and I'm trying to be a better person.
Ah, that's not enough.
Well, no, that got her.
That was...
Okay.
He's apologized, apologized, apologized, then he kind of gets...
Now he's starting to get weaker with his apologies.
So this brings up...
Here she comes again!
I do want to get to what the New Yorker decision was and the consequences.
Right.
So after you had worked there for 27 years, you were fired, they said, after an internal investigation.
And in an internal memo, one of the executives there said, I am writing to share with you that our investigation regarding Jeffrey Toobin is complete, and as a result, he is no longer affiliated with our company.
Do you know what else they found?
I do, actually.
I was told very specifically by the people involved that they looked at my entire career at The New Yorker, you know, 27 years, and found that there had been no complaints about me.
What?
So he...
Now, this, by the way, continued.
At this point, I'm sick of this, and I'm trying to wrap it.
Because she does this two or three more times to get him to apologize more.
And then finally, and this is that five clip that you were playing earlier that I didn't really categorize properly, which is going to be the last clip.
I cut it off there, and then I said, now he's like hemming and hawing.
And this last clip...
The five clip, he actually defends himself and I think he drops the ball here.
Do you think, given that, that the punishment fits the crime?
You know, I am the worst person to ask that question.
I mean, I know.
I mean, obviously, I loved The New Yorker.
I loved working there.
I felt like I was a very good contributor to that magazine for a very long time.
Do you think that our people up in arms, our social justice warriors saying, oh, you bring him back, we're going to cancel our subscription, we're going to no longer watch CNN, is there any of that?
I don't know.
I don't think so.
I don't think anyone watches CNN to care.
But I think it's ridiculous that they brought him back.
He can make money doing other things.
Yeah.
And it also invites the joke that I did earlier, which is it's a bunch of jack-offs anyway.
The whole operation.
So why wouldn't he be there?
He's like the number one jack-off.
Well, who is his publisher hearing that he's writing a book about the Oklahoma City bombing?
Bro, what a missed opportunity.
He could have written a bestseller.
I'm a shitty-ass white man.
Beat me.
That's the book he needs to write.
This apology stuff is lame.
He would be a bestseller.
He could really drag himself through the mud and really...
That is your best bet.
Yeah.
You're right.
None of that.
If you were his agent, you'd be giving him good advice.
Yes.
I'd be giving all kinds of advice.
First, I said, what were you watching?
That's still the best observation.
What caused it?
I don't know.
You know, the more I think about it, that really is an overlooked question.
It is.
Look, I'm a guy, but I don't think that is anything like that.
So you're doing something, you're in a big meeting, and all of a sudden you've got this urge?
Sure.
Are you kidding me?
You know what I think it is?
You know what I think it was?
I think he had a crush on one of the women editors.
Yeah.
DigiGuruTroll reminds me that Allison Camaretta left Fox News because of sexual harassment that was going on there.
That's a good data point.
Hey!
That's a great data point.
Now, typically you'd say, no, it's just triggering for her.
She shouldn't have to do that.
Or maybe she stepped up for it.
You're exactly right earlier.
This is the Strahan effect.
Yeah.
Let's give her this assignment.
Wow.
That's great.
That's what I would do.
Yeah.
You know, if I was the editor-in-chief, I would do stuff like that.
No.
I would ask Don Lemon.
That would have been much funnier.
Imagine Don Lemon.
Don Lemon's at the point at that operation where he could just say, no, she can't.
She's new.
Yeah, that's true.
And he would.
They may have tried to pull that stunt with him.
No, I'm going to have nothing to do with it.
And, you know, he's got seniority.
He can say that and not do the bit.
Yeah.
Don Lemon really does have a lot of say over there.
Yeah.
That's baffling.
The whole thing is baffling.
Meanwhile, while CNN was grooving on tubing, the rest of the news finally had some more Trump news!
Trump!
Oh my God, we got something on Trump!
We gotta talk about him!
Woo!
Yeah!
All right!
The C's phone logs date back to 2000.
By the way, this is our boy Jeff.
Did he move to CBS? Was he always on CBS? I think so.
I think he was always on CBS. Oh, he's really constipated in this one.
The C's phone logs date back to 2017 and 2018 as the House Intelligence Committee's Russia investigation was underway.
President Trump wanted to know where the leaks were coming from.
Justice Department prosecutors secretly subpoenaed phone information from Apple for Democrats Eric Swalwell and Adam Schiff and people close to them, including a minor.
It's another terrible abuse of the Justice Department.
Including a minor.
Another shattering of the norms since Watergate.
Schiff had been a frequent target of the president.
Did Schiff have minors around him?
Schiff has no children, but he has that creepy kitty charity.
You know, the rubbing charity, where you rub children?
Oh, jeez, I don't know about this.
Yes, we've talked about it.
It's called Kitty...
I probably blanked it out.
It's called Kitty something.
Hmm, I can't remember what it was.
The Troll Room will find it for me.
Yeah, he has this really weird charity, and they're also in...
Where's the, where the earthquake took place?
Haiti.
Haiti.
We went there, there's pictures of him with kids on his lap, and he's, and it's, it's rub, it's children rubbing therapy, which may be completely, it may be completely valid, but it's creepy when, no, it's not.
When it's Adam Schiff.
It's not kiddie crave.
Would someone please go look it up?
So when I hear this, they were investigating Schiff and a minor, and I'm sure that's not someone digging for coal, I thought that was telling.
...close to them, including a minor.
It's another terrible abuse of the Justice Department, another shattering of the norms since Watergate.
Schiff had been a frequent target of the president.
And shifty shif, how about this guy?
Attorney General William Barr continued the leak investigation and stumbled when asked by then-Senator Kamala Harris if the President or anyone at the White House had ordered him to open an investigation.
I wouldn't...
I wouldn't...
Yes or no?
Could you repeat that question?
I don't know.
I wouldn't say suggest.
Hinted.
I don't know.
Former Republican Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez says the phone record subpoenas are troubling.
So based on what you know, was that contrary to DOJ policy?
What is being reported is certainly, if not contrary to policy, certainly inconsistent with the finest traditions of the department.
And Jeff joins us now.
So what will this independent investigator at the Department of Justice be looking for?
Well, the bottom line is that this inspector general will look into whether the Trump administration used the DOJ as a weapon against the president's political enemies.
Also, Norah Senate Democrats want AG's William Barr and Jeff Sessions to testify on Capitol Hill.
We'll see if that happens.
Little Kids is the name of the charity.
Remember Trump once said little?
He tweeted little instead of little.
Remember that?
I'm sorry?
Well, Trump once tweeted...
He tweeted little instead of little?
What do you mean?
L-I-D-D-L-E instead of L-I-T-T. Little.
The charity's little.
L-I-D-D-L-E. Kids.
K-I-D-Z. Oh, he did?
And so he...
Another thing I forgot.
Trump tweeted out, little Adam Schiff.
Our award-winning educational courses of touch therapy stand out with the professional skills that you need to best educate families that you serve.
Yeah, making a real difference starts with simple decision.
Rub a kid.
And there may be a lot to it.
Rub a kid.
I'm making light of something that may be an extremely successful program.
No doubt about it.
If this involves, something's up.
I can't help.
I don't trust that guy.
So over on, where was this?
This was NP, no, not NPR. I can't remember what network this was.
They brought in John Dean, who used to be White House counsel for Nixon.
Because, of course, you know, we have Trump abusing the Department of Justice just like Nixon.
He's horrible!
From Jeff Sessions to Rod Rosenstein and Bill Barr, one thing was consistent across all of them.
Donald Trump did everything he could to use the Justice Department.
That's the sourpuss Aaron Burnett again.
For his personal aims to fight his own political wars.
It certainly was.
And I must say that a lot of people are comparing that with Nixon.
Nixon didn't have that kind of Department of Justice.
I was just thinking as you were doing the setup piece that during the worst leak of Nixon's presidency was the so-called Pentagon Papers, a massive leak of classified documents.
I got a call from the Oval Office the day after he learned that.
And could the Department of Justice bring a criminal action for this?
Called over, found out.
The short answer was they could, but they won't.
So Nixon couldn't use the department as he wanted to.
So in a sense, what you're saying is, or maybe not in a sense, you're saying this goes beyond what Nixon did.
It is beyond Nixon.
Yes, it's Nixon on stilts and steroids.
Yeah?
Who got arrested?
Who got thrown in jail if that's true?
What came of it, if that's true?
Did you hear what he said at the end there?
Yeah, kind of.
Let's play it again.
Just play the end bit.
Won't.
So Nixon couldn't use the department as he wanted to.
So in a sense, what you're saying is, or maybe not in a sense, you're saying this goes beyond what Nixon did.
It is beyond Nixon, yes.
It's Nixon on stilts and steroids.
I just like that bit.
Stilts and steroids.
Have you ever heard that phrase?
No, it just doesn't exist.
It does now.
Show title.
It was going to be a show title.
That's what I thought.
Stilts and steroids.
The whole reason for that clip was just to get the show title out there.
Hello?
What a bunch of dicks.
That's not even in office.
They got him rid of him.
I don't know what they want.
It's just definitely for ratings at this point.
Well, what else?
They have huge problems.
Of course it's for ratings.
Oh, my goodness.
They need ratings bad.
Real bad.
It's costing them money.
Serious money.
But it's not going to do it.
I got a fun clip this morning, which is just lovely.
Roger Waters, Pink Floyd.
He's a super activist.
They still tour regularly.
He's a super activist, particularly in the BDS movement.
Was it Block, Divest, and...
What does that again?
What does it stand for again?
I forgot.
The BDS movement is...
It's to take business away from Israel.
Yes.
Boycott, divestment, sanctions.
Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice, and equality.
In this case, the setting was different.
It was for pro-Julian Assange.
And, you know, Assange is still locked up somewhere.
And a lot of people would like to see him free, I think, including this show.
It's completely outrageous.
Particularly when you have this nonsense going on about the Department of Justice.
Oh my god!
They got data from reporters!
Look what's happening with this reporter.
Or publisher, I should say.
Julian Assange.
And Roger Waters started off this little session with an announcement.
This is something that I actually put in my folder when I came out here today.
You have no idea what it is.
Nobody does, because it arrived on the internet to me this morning.
It's a request for the rights to use my song, Another Brick in the Wall 2, in the making of a film to promote Instagram.
So it's a mis-if It's a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me, right, arrived this morning, with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money, and the answer is, fuck you!
No fucking way!
And I only mention that because this is an insidious, it's the insidious movement of them to take over absolutely everything, you know.
So those of us who do have any power, and I do have a little bit, in terms of the control of the publishing of my songs I do anyway, so I will not be a party to this bullshit, Zuckerberg.
What was the offer?
He said an enormous amount of money to use another brick in the wall for an Instagram promotion.
Oh.
I like that.
Yeah, it's funny.
Well, the guy's loaded.
I mean, they used to be referred to the whole group, the group of them, Pink Floyd group, the Floyds of London.
Oh, yes, that's right.
They invested so well in insurance and other stuff that they were, they're all loaded.
Yeah, he doesn't need Zuckerberg's money.
He doesn't need to work, but he likes it.
I mean, artists are artists.
You mean kind of like us?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're kind of not like us.
Okay, quick update on the Bitcoins and the ransomware and the fight on the Bitcoin.
Again, our wishes start to come true bit by bit, very slowly.
Breaking overnight, the world's largest meat supplier has confirmed it paid hackers $11 million in ransoms.
The head of JBS says the company made the payment to avoid any potential risk to customers.
The cyber attack shut down operations at nine beef processing plants across the country last week.
And just like the ransomware attack that crippled the Colonial pipeline, the JBS search was blamed on hackers in Russia.
The Justice Department has now recovered most of Colonial's ransom.
And a cyber attack is also blamed for disrupting TV and radio stations owned by Cox Media Group.
Computer systems hit last week are reportedly still shut down at some stations.
And cybersecurity is one of the many issues President Biden will take up during his high-stakes trip overseas.
Yeah, man.
They got Cox.
Cox has a lot of local stations.
I think they have 200 stations or something, some crazy amount of stations.
Too many.
So they still can't communicate.
And let's see, this was a quick thing from NPR. Let me see what this was.
I love this because that is such bullshit.
It wasn't Bitcoin.
It was the actual software that encrypts the data that makes it possible to hold at ransom.
You know, that's just not true what they're saying.
Well, they're twisting it.
Well, of course.
And on purpose.
I understand.
That's why I play it.
And if the thieves live in countries like Russia, which many do, there's Russia.
The likelihood of it being Russia, to me, is zero.
Totally.
I'm thinking Bulgaria.
I'm thinking Ukraine.
I'm thinking China.
I'm thinking USA. Yeah, that's where I'm going.
I'm thinking our intelligence community.
I mean, Russia's low on my list of possibilities.
The fact that they're hopping on Russia too much makes me even more suspicious that it's our own people.
I've got a Putin clip regarding that in a minute.
There's virtually no chance of getting caught.
Ironically, cryptocurrency exchanges take place on what are called public ledgers.
This means anybody can watch online.
But the parties in a transaction are anonymous, disguised with a random number.
Yonatan Strem Amit explains.
You see exactly all the way the money moves from one address and one wallet to another.
However, there is no way for us to associate a person with these wallets.
And a lot of people would have not just one address, one wallet, but could have dozens, hundreds.
So hackers can keep moving the currency from one anonymous account to another.
This makes it very difficult, though not impossible, to trace.
Now there was no new information in here, but what I like is how they're talking about someone infiltrating a network of a utility...
Sitting, you know, sweeping through the entire system, getting ready, laying dormant for months maybe, then encrypting everything, and all they can talk about is how the money moves from wallet to wallet.
Yeah.
That is your Bitcoin hit.
They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose, and you're gonna need a Bitcoin.
Vladimir Putin was not invited to the G7. It used to be G8. They got uninvited.
Was that during Obama when they got uninvited?
I think so.
Yeah, G8 became G7. It's really nuts when you look at who's at the table, who's in the G7, who is invited as an assessor.
You know, a couple of countries are allowed to come and hang out, kind of backbench it.
And all they do is bitch about Putin.
I mean, hello?
Is this a bad thing?
This is not...
Kumbaya, we are the world.
That's all they do is like, oh, Putin did this, Putin did that.
And here's Putin responding to some of that.
Putin was also confronted with accusations that he's a killer.
I want to play a clip of that.
Let me give you some names.
Anna Polikovskaya shot dead.
Alexander Litvinenko poisoned by polonium.
Sergei Magnitsky allegedly beaten and died in prison.
Boris Nemtsov shot Moments from the Kremlin, moments from here.
Mikhail Lesin had died of blunt trauma in Washington, D.C. Are all of these a coincidence, Mr.
President?
Look, you know, I don't want to come across as being rude, but this looks like some kind of indigestion, except that it's verbal indigestion.
You've mentioned many individuals who indeed suffered and perished at different points in time for various reasons at the hands of different individuals.
Verbal indigestion.
Somehow that loses something in the translation, I guess.
Yeah, I'm sure it's in Russian.
Yeah, I'll have to ask Gene.
I'm sure Gene can tell me exactly what that means.
Maybe.
Well, I got the funniest story.
Unless you have more G7s.
No, no.
Let me just see if I have anything.
Guys, some of the...
No, no, nothing.
Nothing that can't wait.
Well, we might as well get some news out of the way.
Okay.
Let's start with Israel.
I had these clips.
I knew this was coming, and I finally did this.
The Israel shake-up.
The 12-year tenure of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to end Sunday.
His government will be succeeded by a coalition of parties that include the far right, the left, and for the first time, a party from Israel's Arab minority.
Under a power-sharing agreement, ultra-nationalist Naftali Bennett will serve as Prime Minister for two years.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's quite the change.
He's out.
Here's a story.
Well, let me play this.
This is kind of the amusing story of the week.
People want to talk, or everyone talked about.
I'm going to play a whale story from Boston.
Whale story from Boston.
A Massachusetts man has lived to tell an incredible tale.
He was diving for lobsters when he claims he was the one who got caught by a whale.
NPR's Amy Held has more.
Michael Packard was in his scuba gear, dozens of feet down in the waters off of Cape Cod Friday, when out of the blue, he says, things went black, and he felt himself being squeezed.
I was like...
Did I just get bit by a shark?
No, it's not a shark.
I'm in a whale's mouth.
He says he was in there for less than a minute before the humpback surfaced.
He was shaking his head trying to eject me out of his mouth.
Freeing Packard, who's been diving for lobsters for years, never before, has he been on the menu.
Marine biologists say the humpback likely took him in by accident.
As it searched for the tiny sea creatures, it filters with its baleen.
Luckily for Packard, humpbacks have no teeth.
58-year-old Packard is bruised but says he'll be back in the water soon.
That has to be an experience.
It really must.
Now, I guess he could have been swallowed.
No, I don't think it's digestible.
I think the whale knew better.
Yeah.
Getting out of my mouth.
Get it out.
The guy got lucky.
This is interesting.
I didn't know about this until I was listening to NPR. This is the ride with Bezos.
You know about this?
Yeah.
If you got $28 million.
Someone is paying $28 million to go into space with Jeff Bezos.
An auction was held Saturday to take a brief trip with the Amazon founder on July 20th, the 52nd anniversary of the moon landing by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
The winner's identity has not yet been revealed.
Amazon is a financial supporter of NPR. Bezos' Blue Origin company is planning a space tourism business.
Yeah, this is being used, you know, because you've got the three major guys.
You've got Elon with SpaceX, you've got Bezos with Origin, and you've got Branson with Virgin.
And Branson and Bezos, because he's going up, you know, they're real men.
They're going up on their own rocket ships.
Elon Musk is the cuck.
He's not going to fly in his own stuff.
I thought he was.
Elon Musk?
No.
Yeah.
No, he's not scheduled to fly.
Nuh-uh.
No.
Oh.
No, there's been all kinds of people.
So in other words, you're calling the guy that's the most sensible the cuck?
Are you kidding me?
Yes, I am, actually.
I have lots of reason for it.
Totally.
The most sensible?
No, he's a pussy.
Get in your own rocket.
Yeah.
He's a pussy.
Watch you get in the rocket.
Hey!
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.

Happy birthday to my smoking hot Latvian wife, Christine.
It's Lativa, by the way, according to Al Sharpton.
Lativa.
Latvian women are beautiful, so he's got a good-looking woman there.
It's a fact.
She is the most caring, beautiful, funny, and lovely person I've ever met and has become a loyal listener to the podcast since being hit in the mouth a couple of years ago.
Your words truly help us both feel better about the crazy world we're living in, and she's absolutely the most important thing in my life and deserves only the best on her 31st birthday on June 14th.
She also may be your first and only Latvian listener, unless others are hearing this and wish to make themselves known.
Please credit towards a future damehood.
I love you, Christine, says Ian Johnson.

The No Agenda Meetups.
Go to noagendameetups.com.
If you can't find a meetup near you, you can always start one yourself.
a party.
Man, tell me you got tell me you got some ISOs.
Nope.
Shoot.
I only have one.
What is it?
Wait, no, I have two.
What is this?
So, there goes Freedom Day.
I have that.
I like that.
I have...
Not so good.
I can't hear that one.
I like There Goes Freedom.
How about this one?
Butt plugs should be discussed.
Oh, come on, man.
What?
Didn't you hear it?
No.
Butt plugs should be discussed.
Butt plugs?
Yes.
No, that's no good.
Butt plugs should be discussed.
I don't know.
Take that with tubing.
I do have a clip.
I have a final clip that I wanted to play.
I have three clips I wanted to play.
Oh, then you go.
Do you have a funny one?
Well, the funny one, they're all funny.
Oh, nice.
So I got, first of all, I got Biden giving his speech and he's throwing it to his buddy.
I didn't know he was his buddy, but the CEO of Pfizer.
And here's how Biden does it.
Until the world has beaten this virus.
I'm going to thank you all.
Now I'd like to turn it over to my friend, the CEO and chairman of Pfizer, Albert Borla.
As like my good friend, my pal, J.J. Dvorak.
Wow.
And where was this that he's shilling for Pfizer?
Yeah.
No kidding.
Where was this?
This was on the lawn and he was doing a little presentation about...
Oh, just come hang out.
Pfizer guy.
And the Pfizer guy's there because he told him I'd want to be there.
And the Pfizer guy had nothing to say, but it's okay.
Now, I do have the two call-ins because I feel I've been unfair to Biden.
Oh.
So I have two call-ins that are pro-Biden.
They're part one and part two.
Okay.
Drunk call-ins on C-SPAN. Now you can play this at the very end because they're entertaining or whatever your clip is.
Oh, no.
I'll do my clip and then we can do yours.
Okay.
Now, this is a second half of show.
I'm not really going to play the jingle because we know that this tic-tac bullcrap is not UFOs.
It's not aliens visiting from outer space.
The inside data that we have is that it's a project called Nemesis, and it projects things onto sensors.
So a radar sensor, a forward-linking sensor.
Forward-licking infrared, which is something new I'm working on.
Again, it's tubing.
The forward-licking infrared device.
Even the periscope.
All of this stuff, you're not really seeing pure images.
You're seeing an image of something projected on a screen.
And so I feel that what they're doing now in this report, which will probably be nothing at the end of the month.
I think it's coming out on the 25th.
This is not really a UFO situation.
And oddly enough...
Someone agrees with me.
And that someone was on Bill Maher Friday.
And I think that Neil deGrasse Tyson...
Is so pissed off about these guys who get on Tucker Carlson and Joe Rogan who are in the entertainment business.
And you look at these guys, you can see that they make documentaries about UFOs and aliens, but they're now the experts and they get to go on all these shows and I think Tyson is sick of it.
UFOs.
I mean, what's the deal?
How much time you got?
No, no, it's...
The universe brims with mysteries.
I think the way you should come at this is from another direction and ask, if we are in fact being visited by intelligent aliens from another planet, why would they only reveal themselves to Navy pilots?
Why would none of them ever show up in the six billion color high-resolution photos and videos human beings are uploading to the internet every day of their lives?
Because human beings aren't up in space taking pictures where the Navy pilots are.
And why is their best image of an alien a fuzzy monochromatic tic-tac on a display screen?
I'm just saying...
Then what do you think it is?
I don't know and I'm happy saying I don't know.
That's what the U stands for when identified.
You can't say...
It's a UFO and it's doing weird things, therefore I know what it is?
You just admitted you don't know what it is.
Yes, but that's the beginning of the debate.
I agree.
We all agree.
I'm not saying there's definitely UFOs.
I'm thinking we don't know, but now people who never came forward before, serious people, military people.
That doesn't matter.
Are you human?
You are equally susceptible to delusion, to bias.
To say it's a Navy pilot with things, I don't care.
They're human.
So what else could it be?
I don't know!
Okay?
Right.
But just because we don't know what else it could be, it doesn't mean it's visiting aliens from outer space.
I know, but if there's not even one other theory, it loads the gun.
I got one.
I got one.
You ready?
Okay.
Every piece of hardware I've ever seen and software I've ever seen programmed has glitches.
That's not agreeing with you.
No, not the glitching part, but he agrees that it's bullcrap That it's not real.
No, you actually have a better presentation than he has.
Of course I do.
It's embarrassing.
The guy should be ashamed of himself.
I said specifically, I think he's angry that he has not been called in to do all those bullcrap things and be Mr.
Scientist.
And now he's like, oh, that's just not true.
He must have a new agent.
Who knows?
He doesn't get work.
No.
But he's annoying.
I don't like him.
No.
Alright, so let's play these and we'll be done.
Okay.
Now again, I'm only playing these to be fair because I thought the clips I've been playing from C-SPAN call-ins have been in many of them.
You should see the clips from Brian Stelter when he was on.
Oh my God.
You've got to get some of those.
They were just giving it to him.
You've got to get some of those.
I'll get those next time, but I've got to do something pro-Biden.
So here's pro-Biden.
This is a guy, a sensible American who is pro-Biden.
Good for him.
Let's hear from Ira now.
Ira's in New York.
Hello, Ira.
You support the president.
Hi, thank you for taking my call.
I just want to express my gratitude for what is being done and the compassion that President Biden has.
He can't handle everything at one time.
There are so many people that have migrated here.
And the beautiful part of it is they're trying to match the people up with their families and find them.
So I think that...
You know, in terms of the president, he's very compassionate.
And I did not see it, but, you know, he spoke about his son.
He's had so much tragedy.
And he, as I said, he reaches out as best he can.
Good one, good one.
He keeps talking, so let's let him wrap.
...to tell the world what has happened, and in specifics, because I think it's very important for people to know that, you know, what a tragedy that was, and thank God our democracy...
I was threatened, but we managed under very serious, deadly circumstances.
So I see these things that I have hope and I have faith in God and the people.
And a lot of people...
Don't like the mayor.
I think he also tries his best.
Ah, C-SPAN.
Bringing you that, brought to you by cable since 1923. - Three.
It's beautiful.
Alright, we've got great end-of-show mixes.
We've got Bill Mountaine...
With a full-on song, classic, brand new.
I think he's really talented.
Billy Bones, Matt Lazari, and Steve Atwell are going to try and get all these guys in our end of show mix.
We've got the grumpy old Ben's coming up next on noagendastream.com.
And we return on Thursday with another thrill, jam-packed episode and deconstruction just for you, if you're in Gitmo Nation.
Coming to you from the capital of the Drone Star State, Austin, Texas, Opportunity Zone 33, and that's in FEMA Region No.
6 if you're looking it up on one of the governmental maps.
In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C. Dvorak.
And we return on Thursday right here on No Agenda.
Remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA. Until then, adios mofos!
and such.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
It may have problems, but you won't find out cause we'll keep that news in the dark.
Tell you instead of places you won't be going.
No way you'll get on a plane without spatic protein in your veins, baby.
Don't you reject the vaccine.
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't you reject the vaccine.
Don't ask questions of me.
Shut up, slave.
Lift your shirt sleeve.
Fauci's calling.
Case is falling down, down, down.
When mutations break through, just come back so we can boost you.
You'll keep coming.
You'll keep coming.
Growl, growl, growl, growl.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Hey, everybody.
I'm Pointo.
What's up?
Baby, let's go.
I said hit it.
But later.
Rolling up in aisle six.
It's the morning soon.
What a laugh.
Thank you so much for being here and please be seated.
This is the Stay Safe medley, one of the, I think it's an MSNBC host, and this is what she does.
Congressman Adam Schiff, thank you so much for being here tonight, and please stay safe.
As a matter of course, and again, I'm reminding people that...
Colorado Secretary of State Jenna Griswell, thank you so much for being here tonight, please stay safe.
Think of Kyle Hitler.
I'd like to teach some German.
NBC News correspondent Priscilla Thompson, thank you so much for being here tonight, and please stay safe.
Leipzig, stay safe in Germany, sounds better.
Wiener, thank you so much for your time tonight, please stay safe.
Internationalize a little bit.

Life Seeker.
Postman.

Hitler.

Life Seeker.
John, stay safe.
Kyle Hitler.
And please stay safe.
Kyle Hitler.
And please stay safe.
Stay safe.
Kyle Hitler.
Hey, citizen.
No cicadas are harmed in the making of this.
A long-awaited massive invasion of cicadas is now storming large areas of the East and Midwest, and these little bugs can be deafening.
These odd-looking insects are inspiring art, fashion, and a crunchy cicada taco.
They're selling 30 orders of cicada tacos every day.
About 50% of those that come in order a second round of tacos.
And then it was time for my first bug bite.
crunchy, nutty.
It's pretty good.
That's what they sound like, but if they're anywhere near you, we don't have to tell you that.
This group of insects is called Brood 10, and it emerges from the ground every 17 years.
Yeah, they're gonna look at you.
They'll judge you.
The swarms are so big in the Baltimore, Washington area, that they show up on National Weather Service radar.
Crunchy Cicada Taco.
Good news is they won't stick around much longer.
Ben Tracy shows us what the bugs are doing while they're here and how the rest of us are coping.
Get out of my vagina!
Bugs are out!
In the backyard of Jessica Helm's Maryland home...
We're getting over 2,000 a day.
...it is peak cicada season.
Her six-year-old Olivia started counting them.
We found many bugs.
But quickly ran out of fingers and then buckets.
Then we had to watch where we're stepping.
Cicada shells cover the ground and hang from the trees.
And while all of this may terrify many adults...
You think I'm kind of lame?
Yes, I do.
Go Shites.
Olivia is now invested in these insects, giving the cicadas names and rides on all of her toys.
Buy toys from China.
China!
Then we had to watch where we're stepping.
He's already said this many times.
Bye.
Bye.
Adios.
Most of the time.
Your life as it has been is over.
From this time forward, you will service us.
In the coming weeks, my administration is going to take steps to combat the American people.
It's destructive to the very poor.
Humanity as human beings are meant to be.
It's clearer than ever.
The more people we get vaccinated, the more success we're going to have in our fight against every single American.
People need to be terrified of those who are ordering them to put their lives at risk.
We deployed over 9,000 federal staff, including 5,100 active duty troops to help get shots in arms.
If governments get away with suspending civil rights and personal freedoms in an emergency, they will create emergencies in order to take control.
Now's the time to accelerate the process.
They must have joked a lot about how easy it was to do all this.
Not just this year, but in years to come.
America's headed into the summer dramatically different from last year.
Resistance is futile.
Your life, as it has been, is over.
From this time forward, you will service us.
If you're unvaccinated, you are still at risk of getting seriously ill or dying.
Stop and think for a minute.
Why would these industrialized wealthy countries do this?
I said before, we're going to continue encouraging people to get vaccinated with incentives and fun rewards.
The gates to hell are preceded by steps that infringe on personal freedom.
The bottom line is this.
Getting the vaccine is not a partisan act.
The more people we get vaccinated, the more success we're going to have in our fight against every single American.
