	You gotta train the nub.
	Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.
	It's Thursday, July 1st, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation media assassination episode 1360.
	This is no agenda.
	Working with bailing wire and gaffer tape and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	Dan from northern Silicon Valley where it's not even sunny.
	It hasn't been sunny for days and they keep telling us it's a heat wave.
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's crackpot and buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	It's a heat dome.
	Uh-oh.
	Uh-oh.
	Seven.
	Eight.
	Eight.
	Eight and stable?
	Eight, and right on time.
	Ladies and gentlemen, interrupt CNBC's Squawk Box.
	We have an official Zephyr economic report.
	We have eight cars, everything stable, running nice.
	Bitcoin, 33,188.
	And that's where everything broke down.
	Oh my God!
	Woo!
	Listen to that horn!
	My touchscreen has been acting up along with everything else in the new studio.
	Ooh, great.
	It's not great.
	It sucks, and I have to use my mouse.
	It's unpredictable.
	Oh, God, dare anything but the mouse.
	Well, my jingles, you know, I pride myself on the speed of my jingles, and now I have to mouse around.
	It sucks.
	Nobody knows but you.
	Hello, everyone.
	Happy Canada Day.
	There you go.
	Happy Canada Day, everybody.
	It is the Canada Day.
	It's a very, very happy Canada Day.
	Absolutely.
	Ah, well, now that we know that we have a heat wave, a heat dome, it's Canada Day.
	The studio's in shambles.
	I've got a bit of an echo.
	And now it's time for 3x3.
	Experiment by JCD. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The never-ending 3x3.
	That's right, time for the 3x3.
	JCD, what do you got?
	And as everyone knows, on Thursdays I look at the morning shows as I eat breakfast and see what each of them are up to.
	Let me guess, was there lots of good news?
	Was there lots of entertainment news?
	What are you learning?
	Well, let's start with CBS. CBS has this thing called Talk of the Table.
	They have all these gimmicky little kind of departments that they do.
	And this one was on FINRA fining Robin Hood $70 million.
	Yeah, for screwing their customers out of millions.
	For screwing their customers.
	But the story, the tale they told on this Talk of the Table was about the poor kid.
	I didn't know this story until it's depressing.
	But some kid, some dumb kid, Was a customer and got a bill for $100,000 from Robin Hood and committed suicide at the family home because he was so embarrassed by the problem.
	I think I remember this story.
	The next day, he got a note saying, oh, I'm sorry, we made a mistake.
	It was a margin call that he shouldn't have received, I think.
	Or something, I don't know.
	But here's what gets me about that story, just to stick with it.
	$70 million in fines.
	Where does it go?
	Does it go to the people who lost millions of dollars?
	Now, this was because they didn't educate people properly, specifically on how options work.
	I find that sketchy.
	Either people can use these products unlicensed or not.
	But they didn't give that $70 million back to people who lost money, I don't think.
	Doesn't that just go straight into the U.S. Treasury coffers?
	That's how we get our money.
	How do you think we get money into those coffers?
	I've always wondered about it.
	People lost money.
	And coffers.
	You know what?
	Coffer is actually the Dutch word of origin.
	Coffin.
	No.
	Well.
	Someone who coughs a lot.
	That's a coffer.
	A coffer.
	Coffer.
	K-O-F-F-E-R is a suitcase.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	We're going to do the suitcase then.
	Yeah.
	Then I go over to ABC. Where they're doing a...
	I don't know how long this went on.
	I caught the end of Becky Worley.
	Ah!
	Good old Becky.
	Up in Seattle.
	Talking about the great smoked salmon there where her sign off was yum, yum, yum.
	Which I personally thought was beneath her.
	But that's okay.
	She was up there with half the staff.
	They were all up in Seattle.
	Including a story about the friendliest place in Washington.
	And it was just, it was obviously the Tourist Bureau that had paid, bought and paid a bunch of, given ABC a bunch of money to go up there and promote Seattle.
	Because Seattle was, for years, the number one tourist attraction in the United States for some reason.
	People love going to Seattle.
	You know, they throw a fish around at Pike's Market or whatever they do.
	And it's got to be in the toilet after the, you know, the Bad policing and the takeover part of the city and the bad reputation it now has.
	They're probably hard up for tourists.
	So they gave ABC a potload of money to bring all their people up there.
	Huh.
	So yum, yum, yum to Becky.
	And then so I cut over to NBC and I don't know what they were doing.
	There was a bunch of people on top of a hill dancing called dance.
	And there's something they called daybreak party, daybreaker party.
	Oh, that sounds a lot like what my parents forced me to do when we were still in the Unitarian Church.
	We had to drive for three hours, go sit up on a hill, watch the sunrise, listening to Cat Stevens' Morning Has Broken.
	I wouldn't be surprised if it was some part of the same system.
	I still despise that song.
	Well, I don't blame you.
	So they had this, and they kept asking people about it.
	So what do you think about it?
	They couldn't understand a word of the report.
	And then they never back announced it, and they had Hoda in her little quad box.
	They had four boxes for the Today Show.
	And she's dancing in the box, going, this is great.
	And they, oh yeah, this is great.
	We don't know what it was because they never told us after the, you know, I guess they pre-announced it and then they never mentioned it afterwards.
	And then they cut to a commercial.
	I don't know what they were talking about.
	NBC really stinks.
	Well, I've noticed a lot of ads, native ads, planned ads, all kinds of stuff taking place.
	The one that is...
	On one hand, pleasant.
	On the other hand, oh brother, is this new Pabst Blue Ribbon.
	And here's what we need for July 4th.
	Pabst Blue Ribbon, known as its frat name, PBR, has a special case of beer.
	It's a 1776 pack, you know, for freedom, 1776 and all that.
	The case is so big it barely fits in a truck, it equals about 10 kegs.
	I love the lady at the end.
	Ooh, like she's ready to do a kegger.
	Like, ooh, ten kegs.
	Count me in.
	But the most blatant native ad, which is just a stroke of genius, but man, they did so many different stories, is McDonald's.
	Thousands of Bay Area McDonald's have something extra on the menu tonight.
	For a limited time, you can get burgers and shakes with a side of Pfizer.
	That's right, the Pfizer vaccine is being offered at select locations.
	This Vallejo McDonald's is among those serving up shots today.
	And 12-year-old Ayana was relieved to roll up her sleeve at a familiar place.
	This was really quick and easy.
	There wasn't a line whatsoever.
	You just walk in, get it, and walk out.
	It was really fun.
	So I think it was pretty easy, and I think other people who, like me, with anxiety, it's much easier.
	It's all part of a statewide initiative to reach those who've had a hard time getting access to the vaccine.
	70 McDonald's locations across the state will offer vaccinations in the coming weeks.
	One of the biggest issues that people have raised is access.
	I'm too busy during the day.
	I need to go to a clinic at night.
	Or I need the clinic to be closer to me.
	This is part of a series of initiatives to get clinics closer to people.
	Yeah, it's just...
	The poor girl.
	Young woman.
	It was so fun!
	I love it!
	It's really great to get my vaccine at McDonald's!
	I don't understand.
	They should do it the other way around.
	You should get a vaccine, and then while you're getting the vaccine, they jam a Big Mac into your face.
	I think that's a much better promotion.
	Yeah.
	Just one of those.
	This is the same sort of swelling.
	Yeah.
	So I'm in the new studio.
	We're in the new house, John.
	Good.
	We have not named it yet.
	We are, of course, in the heart of Texas Hill Country.
	Call it the house.
	It's the house.
	I have a lot of boominess.
	I can't hear it.
	Well, Tina was very kind.
	While I was fixing my broken headphone amp's power supply by replacing it with two wires taped across a 9-volt battery...
	She brought in a clothing rack and draped a moving blanket over it.
	That's a woman right there.
	You just turned it into her giant closet.
	Dead sound.
	Yeah.
	Now, it'll be good.
	I just have to get...
	You just didn't have enough time, man.
	What about the dimmers?
	Tell us about the dimmers.
	So this house, I've learned a lot.
	Now, the guy who built this house, we bought it from, he wired everything.
	Of course, he was an IBEW, a trained electrician.
	No, he was not.
	In fact, he left me very nice.
	He left me details.
	There's like 20 apps you can run the house on, which I have zero desire to do.
	Oh, it's not a smartphone.
	Zero desire.
	Well, a lot of it is wired to be smart.
	Especially for a podcast.
	Yes, there's a lot of dimmers.
	He's buzzing around, making noises, all kinds of signals on the wires.
	Yeah.
	It's all kinds of problems, yeah.
	But I will say, you know, our move was, we, so Sunday, right after the show, I packed everything up.
	I had to pack up all the studio.
	Monday morning, the movers came.
	The idea was they would pack, and since, you know, we're well over an hour outside of Austin, and probably more if you're in a slow-moving truck, you know, they would take everything to their facility, and then they would come the next day for the unpack.
	Oh, so they took everything in the facility, they go over it, take a look at it, see what they wanted to keep?
	That was the idea.
	But when they came in, they said, oh, oh, Mrs.
	Curry, you're so organized, we can do all of this in one day.
	She saved us a whole day of moving just by...
	Did they cut the bill down?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	It's per hour.
	Oh, yeah.
	It was half.
	The bill was half.
	It was unbelievable.
	Well, she should be in that business.
	That's what I keep telling her.
	She'd be great.
	Or it's called a move coordinator.
	A relocation consultant.
	I actually have a friend who does that.
	Oh, really?
	Can you make any money doing that?
	She works for one of the giant moving companies.
	She's an executive, so I assume so.
	Their job is focused on giant corporations.
	Right.
	Google moving everything from here to there.
	Right, right.
	I don't think she'd want...
	She would like to help people organize them.
	It was just fantastic.
	Everything was color-coded.
	All colors of the rainbow.
	We got the pride pack.
	Every room had a color.
	It was beautiful.
	And it'll all be fantastic for the show by Sunday, no doubt.
	Anyway, fail on the rain stick so far.
	I don't believe any rain has fallen in the Midwest.
	Of course, we got some of the back end of the stick in Austin, but we flooded Detroit, we flooded Moscow.
	How are things out there?
	Any rain?
	I'll tell you, you know, this supposed heat wave we have, which I suppose is hot if you go to Sacramento.
	It's a heat dome.
	Yeah, the heat dome.
	Well, the heat dome is not affecting me.
	Yesterday, for example, it never got above 62, and it was fogged in the whole day.
	I never saw the sun.
	Today, it's continuing the same thing.
	And this is not looking well for July 4th, unless it breaks up by then.
	Hmm.
	It's just cold and windy and foggy.
	I can't, you know, there's no sun, it's cold.
	I have to have the heater on in the house.
	Well, I'd like to...
	That's our scorching heat here.
	Yeah, but you're in some...
	Global warming.
	You're in some weird pocket.
	You know, the funny thing is, I've seen the same effect every year for 20, 30 years in this part of the country.
	And I don't see any difference in it.
	And by the way, the mudflats are still there.
	I don't see the rise in the water either.
	It's a whole crap.
	Well, let me skip ahead then right away.
	Oh, wait.
	Let's get back to the dimmers.
	Oh, who cares?
	I'm done with the dimmers.
	Hey, I just want to say two words.
	Be on the lookout for it.
	Mega drought.
	Mega drought.
	You're going to hear this.
	It's going to be the mega drought.
	This is what's going to...
	And I can guarantee this if you're going to predict that.
	Ready?
	Mm-hmm.
	During the mega drought, there'll be some huge rainstorms, which will be part of the mega drought, because that's what happens.
	That's how it rolls, man.
	Of course it'll be.
	It is the mega drought rainfall.
	We all know how that works.
	Since we're talking about it, since we're talking about your mudflats, I will skip ahead.
	We'll do COVID in a minute.
	Skip ahead to the condo collapse.
	In Florida, as highlighted in the newsletter.
	I should mention, we're not going to read that note, but in the newsletter, there was a complete report from a civil engineer that should definitely be read by everybody.
	Yes, I think he was Dutch, by the way.
	He might live in Denmark.
	No, he was Danish.
	No, he works in Denmark.
	Oh, you think he's a Dutch guy?
	Yeah, I think so.
	Wouter.
	I don't know many Danes names.
	Well, I could be wrong.
	I sent him a note and said, please, are you Dutch or Danish?
	Anyway, the condo collapse, which I think you and I both agree with the assessment from our professionals, really – and also the news reports that we see about repairs that needed to be done, the condo board not being able to decide, it costing really – and also the news reports that we see about repairs that needed And there's some technical aspects that seem spot on, although sad.
	It's not HARP.
	It's not a directed energy weapon.
	It wasn't a controlled demolition.
	All very sad.
	But it doesn't matter how it happened, as long as we can put this crisis to good use.
	This is Erin Burnett over there on CNN with our Energy Secretary.
	Is it Granum?
	Is that how you pronounce it?
	Or Granholm?
	Granholm.
	Granholm.
	She's the one.
	She used to be there.
	She was the failed governor of Michigan, so they gave her this job.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm going to keep calling her Granholm.
	In terms of...
	I like Granholm.
	Yeah, Holm is much better.
	You brought up what's happening, what we're seeing in the Pacific Northwest.
	But we've been talking a lot about what happened in Florida at the Surfside Condominium building that collapsed.
	We don't know exactly what happened at this point.
	But given what we know about the changing climate, given that we've seen an increase in these so-called extraordinary tides and the impact that that can have in areas like South Florida, do you think that climate could have played a role in that building's collapse?
	Well, obviously we don't know fully, but we do know that the seas are rising.
	I mean, we know that we're losing inches and inches of beaches, not just in Florida, but all around.
	Really?
	All around, John.
	All around.
	We're losing inches and inches of beach all around.
	Sorry.
	This is just not true.
	I mean, we know that we're losing inches and inches of beaches, not just in Florida, but all around.
	You know, Lake Michigan, where I'm from, we've seen the loss of beaches because the waters are rising.
	So, you know, this is a phenomenon.
	We'll have to wait to see what the analysis is for this building.
	But the issue about resiliency and making sure we adapt to this changing climate, that's going to mean levees need to be built.
	That means seawalls need to be built.
	That means infrastructure needs to be built.
	We need to make sure that we invest enough in clearing out the forests so we don't have these weather events.
	We need to invest in hardening our transmission lines, maybe burying...
	Wires so that we can protect areas that are like tinderbox dry.
	There's so much investment that we need to do to protect ourselves from climate change, but also to address it and mitigate it.
	And hopefully these infrastructure bills, when taken together, will make a huge step and allow America to lead again.
	Yeah, this is how it works.
	Together, that means they're trying to slip that second bill in that Biden said he would.
	Oh yeah.
	Of course.
	They're going for the six trillion dollars.
	And Part of that will be the infrastructure for electric vehicles.
	Jen Psaki.
	People across the country, people who care deeply about addressing our climate crisis, know the components of what's in this package, which the president considers a down payment, not the end, a down payment.
	So 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations nationwide, that's what this would help support, with a focus on our highways and rural and disadvantaged communities.
	It would help buy more than 35,000 electric school buses.
	That's what we need.
	Electric school buses.
	Yeah, of course.
	There's one, I think, one or two reporters these days in the White House briefing room who are starting to ask questions.
	It's kind of odd.
	And there was a follow-up on this one, which...
	I just thought it was worth playing.
	You just mentioned and Secretary Kerry mentioned the fact that the market is already heading towards electric vehicles.
	There's no turning back from that.
	It's an unstoppable force.
	If that's the case, why should taxpayers pay for 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations?
	Isn't that something that will get taken care of by the market?
	And I think that's an outstanding question.
	It's a great question.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	It's dubbed a great question.
	All right.
	You know, I think there's a role for government to play.
	Our view, the presidency, is there's a role for government to play to incentivize, to ensure that there is continued movement in this direction.
	But there's also a great deal.
	A lot of the investment that's in the American Jobs Plan is about ensuring...
	What is it called?
	Market interference.
	Yeah.
	Or crony capitalism.
	Brony capitalism is the other word for it.
	There are industries and jobs that are created in sectors in the future to help the next generation survive and prosper.
	Hey kids, you won't survive and prosper without 500,000 charging stations!
	Yes, there is a private sector partnership here.
	There's a role of the private sector.
	But our view is there's also a role of the public sector.
	And that this is, these are industries that are also going to create jobs.
	And that's part of the role we can play.
	Oh, jobs!
	You know, and I don't think, I know there's been criticism out there, questions about how this is going to impact job creation today, right?
	And job creation in our economy today.
	Or some criticism, I should say, from Some Republicans in Congress that I've read this morning, seen on Twitter.
	But, you know, the president is somebody who has created, will be the first in history to create a million jobs in his first hundred days.
	Oh, I like that!
	A million jobs in his first hundred days.
	That is if the jobs report comes out the way they want it.
	I'm sure they can get it up there.
	Now the thing about these EVs and electric school buses, what they never talk about but what is starting to crop up more and more is the following issue.
	The fire chief just wrapping up a press conference about half an hour ago talking about this fire.
	The good thing here is that we don't have any injuries and that fire is contained to the building.
	The problem is that we're dealing with lithium batteries and they're trying to figure out how to fight this fire.
	And they might be getting some help from those who fought the Rockton Fire.
	Now, the chief says this happened at about noon when his crews arrived.
	They had no clue what was inside of that building.
	They would soon discover from one of the business's employees, Superior Batteries, that they had 100,000 pounds or more of lithium batteries inside of that building, all of various sizes, some as small as a cell phone batteries.
	Now, authorities here in Morris have been asking residents...
	To leave a two-block radius and to exit the area, and that's because they are concerned about the air quality.
	I wonder if they're going to keep on the story.
	This is in Illinois.
	I mean, this is really bad promotion for the electric vehicle market, but I think this fire, 100,000 pounds of lithium-ion batteries, that may burn for a few days.
	It could blow.
	Yeah, I guess it is.
	I mean, I don't know how explosive.
	They would have to be contained.
	We don't know.
	I don't know about that.
	It's contained already by the nature of the design of these batteries.
	This thing is not good.
	Man, if that thing blows, that'll be a party.
	Holy crap.
	It's scary.
	Yeah, so that's where we're at.
	Infrastructure.
	To blow us all up.
	Blow us up.
	Blow us up.
	They're putting themselves in a bind here.
	You know, the other thing is infrastructure is now, you know, Biden comes out and he starts defining it as childcare.
	That's infrastructure as far as he's concerned.
	Oh, I could take you one better.
	This is also part of infrastructure, which is, in a weird way, related to buildings, etc.
	But this is what's happening right now in California, I think.
	Like millions of Americans, Jalen Bailey was devastated by COVID. Devastated.
	But not because she got sick.
	We haven't just been living through the pandemic.
	We've been living through the pandemic while wondering every night when we go to sleep if we're going to have a roof over our heads the next night.
	Bailey is a freelance screenwriter in an industry halted by the shutdown.
	Left without a gig, she fell behind on rent and says she's constantly worried about being kicked out.
	You've looked at the camping gear in your garage as a possible shelter.
	Yeah, we've checked it to make sure that there's no rips and tears in it and that sort of thing.
	In California, nearly a million renters are more than $4,700 behind on rent.
	If we basically too quickly remove tenant protections before people are able to get back to work, we're just going to create the conditions for an eviction tsunami?
	To stop that from happening, state officials have announced an unprecedented $5 billion rescue package for renters that would pay off 100% of rent for tenants who can prove financial hardship from the pandemic and make less than 80% of the median income where they live.
	California's previous rent relief plan paid up to 80% of unpaid rent.
	But tenants say it's hard to apply, and landlords say it's hard to get paid.
	If the owners are relying upon that money to pay mortgage and property taxes and insurance and maintenance, our owners have to dip into other reserves to make sure those obligations get paid.
	Yeah, I think the eviction tsunami is coming.
	I agree.
	And so they're going to have $5 billion to bail people out?
	Well, they're going to bail out the...
	Yeah.
	I don't know how they're going to do it.
	I don't know if they're going to give it to the people.
	They're going to give it to the...
	Giving it to the renters is the dumbest idea ever.
	Why?
	Because they're not going to pay their rent with it.
	They're going to skip town, grab the camping gear, and head towards Austin.
	That's one way of looking at it.
	The other way of looking at it is you give it to the...
	What do you call them?
	The landlords.
	You give it to the landlords and they won't give it to the tenants.
	Trickle down doesn't work.
	That's what Biden keeps saying.
	That's a good point.
	This is just a giveaway.
	It's just going to be money.
	It's just thrown away.
	Yeah.
	You're right.
	Both sides.
	No matter who gets that money, this tsunami is coming.
	Yeah.
	It's bad, man.
	It's bad.
	I don't know how they're going to do it.
	I would blame Warren Buffett and everyone else who promoted the idea of all this renting, renting, renting.
	I mean, there's more apartment houses being built all over the place around here.
	It's unbelievable.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's multifamily, correct?
	It's no more single-family homes.
	That's almost impossible.
	In Austin, that's done with.
	You can't build a single-family home anymore.
	They don't want you building them.
	No.
	Well, what they want is lots and lots and lots of multifamily dwellings.
	Yeah.
	Not too high.
	That's only for downtown.
	Tenements.
	Tenements.
	I'm sorry.
	Tenements.
	They want more tenements.
	They want that too.
	They tried this before, by the way.
	It didn't work out, but they're going to try it again.
	Exactly.
	Tenements.
	Tenements.
	I don't think we can avoid talking about some COVID stuff because they're ramping it up.
	I have COVID clips.
	Oh, good.
	Why don't I let you go first?
	We've got tons of stuff to do here.
	Well, we can play some backup stuff.
	No, I've got new stuff.
	Don't play backup.
	I just backup, in other words, what's going on around the world.
	Oh, backgrounder.
	You mean backgrounder.
	I said backup.
	I'm using backup now to mean background.
	Okay.
	But before that, let's listen to a little switcheroo on the wordage.
	And unfortunately, I lost some government spokeswoman or someone.
	Let's play this clip.
	This is the wrong words, COVID. COVID, wrong words.
	Got it.
	Scientists have been studying similar viruses and working on this type of vaccine for decades.
	So when this pandemic started, they already had a pandemic ready to go.
	Yeah, I can tell you who that is.
	That is the most famous doctor in the United States.
	I'm surprised you don't know her.
	That is Dr.
	Jill Biden.
	Oh, that's right.
	I knew it.
	I lost track when I took that clip down.
	Yes, that was Jill Biden.
	The doctor.
	Dr.
	Jill.
	Dr.
	Jill Biden.
	They already had a pandemic.
	Good to go.
	That's right.
	That's true.
	And by the way, she is talking about COVID. She's talking about the pandemic.
	She's acting like she is an actual doctor.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	This is like the stupid...
	I mean, this is...
	She's doing more erudite talking than Joe, Bill.
	I do have some Biden clips, but I don't have any really good funny ones where he screwed up a lot.
	You know what?
	Honestly, I don't care about Biden's screw-ups anymore, unless he's telling the truth in them.
	Yeah, I don't care.
	Just the fumbling and bumbling.
	I'm sorry, but I'm not letting up because of your bullying.
	Let's go.
	Okay.
	And that's why you stand up to a bully, ladies and gentlemen.
	Here's Democracy Now!
	Democracy Now!
	gives us the rundown on COVID USA! Here in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the Delta variant now represents around one quarter of infections.
	Los Angeles County is advising fully vaccinated residents to continue masking indoors due to concerns over the highly transmissible variant.
	Yeah, hold on.
	I gotta throw in some variant stuff here.
	Because this is now out of control.
	Short.
	This is, what is this?
	Good Morning America.
	And then another headline that people were talking about has to do with masks.
	Masks continue to be a controversy through all this in some way or some cause of confusion.
	What's funny?
	Nothing.
	Start the clip over.
	There was something in there that must have been hilarious.
	Nothing.
	It's nothing.
	Why is he laughing?
	Because these people are idiots, and they're supposed to be happy and jauncy jolly in the morning.
	That's what you do.
	Hey, good morning, America, everybody.
	That's so funny.
	That's so funny.
	And in another headline that people were talking about, as there was masks, masks continue to be a controversy through all this in some way.
	Some call it a confusion, but at least one WHO saying people vaccinated even indoors should be wearing a mask.
	Explain what we're talking about here.
	And really, when we talk about the World Health Organization, operative word there is world.
	So take a look at this latest in the mass controversy.
	World Health Organization saying just yesterday that, yes, people who are even vaccinated should wear masks inside.
	Remember, they are making recommendations globally for the entire world.
	Here in the United States, we follow the CDC recommendations.
	Now, all of a sudden, we follow the CDC and not the World Health Organization.
	Nice.
	Nice, nice, nice.
	Is that a little piece of propagandizing for the public at large to tell us this?
	Probably.
	But if it's not understood, we can always call in Hotep Hotez, the doctor from New Jersey.
	I'm sorry, the doctor from Dallas, Houston, I think.
	The case is this.
	The Delta variant is like nothing we've seen before.
	Nothing we've seen.
	It's like hay fever.
	The B.1.1.7 variant from the UK was more transmissible than the original lineage by about 50%.
	This one, the Delta, is 50% more than that.
	This is twice as infectious as anything we've seen before.
	So if you're not vaccinated, or if you're only partially vaccinated, there's a high likelihood you will become infected with this Delta variant over the next few weeks or over the summer.
	Really?
	Now, it's not too late.
	Now is the time to get vaccinated.
	And if you're a young adult or adolescent, Don't listen to the anti-vaccine nonsense that says if you go to the gym and eat a healthy diet, that's good enough.
	It's not.
	It's not the same as virus neutralizing the antibodies from the vaccine.
	It would have been better if he said, don't listen to podcasts.
	Yeah, don't listen to Joe Rogan is what he said.
	Pretty much.
	Yeah, they're pushing.
	It's like one last push.
	I don't know if the...
	Go ahead.
	I'm going to throw in, since this is the last push, I do have something to say after this clip, but this is the COVID-Pfizer.
	This is democracy now of all places, again, Amy, promoting Pfizer.
	In medical news, researchers found the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna may offer protection against the coronavirus for years.
	Patients may still need booster shots if the virus and its variants evolve significantly.
	Yeah, you're right.
	It's a final push and they're even trying this extra strategy.
	And Eva, there's an unrelated new study out of the UK about mixing vaccines.
	What can you tell us about that?
	That's right, Robin.
	So this study looked at mixing Pfizer and AstraZeneca and it showed that mixing and matching the vaccine does work.
	But, of course, that only applies in countries where AstraZeneca has been approved.
	So not here in the United States.
	But this is a global pandemic.
	So this is really welcome news to those countries that are struggling to get enough vaccine to vaccinate their population.
	Robin?
	That's true.
	That's true.
	Okay, I got one.
	I don't have the clip, unfortunately.
	Hold on one second, though.
	Just about this clip.
	First of all...
	Robin at the end says that's true, like she knows what the hell she's talking about, is odd.
	Good catch.
	But what they're doing here is, it seems like it's about AstraZeneca, but really they're saying, hey, if you got the AstraZeneca, you really need a Pfizer on top of that.
	On Newsy, the main host on the Newsy channels, like Cheddar, one of these...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I'm familiar with Newsy.
	They're experimenting, and they said that they're following back and forth between the doctor and the host.
	He says, oh, you know, they told us to get the first thing we could get.
	This is a lie, by the way.
	He just lies.
	And so I got Johnson& Johnson, which we know wasn't the first thing you could get.
	No.
	Because that came late.
	And he says, I feel bad about getting the Johnson& Johnson shot.
	Can I top it off?
	We're the Pfizer.
	Top it off.
	Yeah, top it off.
	Top it off.
	And the doctor says, yes, I recommend that you do that.
	In fact, my brother had gotten the Johnson& Johnson and he just got the Pfizer and I felt really good about it.
	And I'm watching this thinking, this is terrible.
	These Pfizer people, if you recall, anyone should remember this.
	I'm going to put together like an Evergreen show just of early clips.
	If you remember, it was no...
	Whatever you do, do not mix these things, ever.
	And even when you take one to get the second one, make sure it's within a certain time frame.
	We're going to have to maybe start the series over.
	They were very religious about this.
	But now, oh no, I got the Johnson& Johnson.
	The guy says, I don't feel real good about that.
	Can I top it off with a Pfizer?
	This is really, the Pfizer people are overstepping a lot.
	They're risking people's health.
	If what they say is true at the beginning, why has it changed all of a sudden?
	You just mix and match.
	Who gives a shit?
	Just take three Pfizer shots while you're at it.
	Yeah, there was a fact.
	That's very interesting.
	Let me see if I can find it here.
	Yeah.
	And it's hard to tell if it's purely, if it's only Pfizer marketing or if...
	Now, Moderna has no marketing as far as I'm concerned.
	No.
	But Johnson& Johnson...
	Listen to this and tell me if you think it's Johnson& Johnson or if it's Pfizer or how it works.
	This is the UK talking about the AstraZeneca, but I believe also about the Australian version of AstraZeneca.
	Which, the way I recall it, is the one they stopped producing because people started testing positive for HIV. Do you remember that?
	I vaguely remember something like that, but I don't know if it was from Australia.
	Yeah, well, let's see what this is.
	Half of the United Kingdom's population is now fully vaccinated, with AstraZeneca a pillar of its rollout.
	And last night, National Cabinet decided to make the Australian version of the jab available to everyone under 40.
	If you wish to get the AstraZeneca vaccine...
	Then we would encourage you to, A, go and have that discussion with your GP. And the Commonwealth will now cover the legal costs of any adverse effects from prescribing any vaccine.
	All vaccines for all healthcare providers for all recipients.
	But the mixed messages just keep coming.
	There are some people who have been asking to get AstraZeneca, although the clinical advice is that they should not.
	I mean, what was that report even about?
	Wow.
	That's the clip of the day.
	I'm giving you a clip of the day because it's such a crazy, stupid, lousy clip.
	Clip of the day.
	It does beg the question, what was that clip about?
	I think the clip was about, it was like dessert at a good restaurant.
	I'm going to tell this little story.
	Okay.
	There used to be a place in San Francisco called Masa's, and I ate there a number of times.
	It was considered the best restaurant in San Francisco for a while.
	A guy came out of New York.
	He's a famous Japanese-French chef.
	And I ate there.
	But the food was never that good.
	But the desserts were so spectacular...
	That's all you remember.
	You always remember the last thing.
	And this was tested, again, in beauty pageants.
	As the pageant goes by, you can do this and watch this yourself.
	As the pageant goes by, the judging gets less and less and less rigid.
	And so the girls who come late in the pageant get higher marks than the girl, especially the number one contestant.
	She always gets screwed.
	Mm-hmm.
	And so whatever comes at the end is all that really matters.
	And that's what was proven in a restaurant review and proven in beauty pageants.
	And what was at the very end of that report is all that mattered.
	Which was, don't get AstraZeneca.
	Well, this is interesting.
	Very tricky marketing.
	I have to say that's high end.
	So this theory was used in beauty pageants?
	No, it was noticed.
	These were not theories that were implemented.
	I think it was purposely implemented at these restaurants because they knew that if you blew somebody away at the end of the meal, they'd go away with, oh, what a great restaurant.
	The beauty pageant thing was an observation somebody did by using statistics.
	Well, explain this as your dessert then.
	And new tonight, history made at the pageant.
	Now for the first time ever, a transgender woman has been crowned Miss Nevada, USA. And 13 Action News anchor Jackie Kostik spoke with the winner and finds out what this win means to the LGBTQ community.
	It's amazing because it's Pride Month and it's the 52nd anniversary of Stonewall, so...
	This is what it's come to.
	What a sad day.
	What a sad day for women.
	Women are getting screwed over by this whole phenomenon.
	And by the way, I don't care, really, for the beauty pageant.
	That's all that it is.
	So I really don't care.
	We're judging women based upon how they look.
	It's an anachronism to the woke culture that somehow has been made relevant by changing this one aspect of it.
	Because, of course, beauty pageants should be completely banned, just looking at equity and men and women.
	But no, instead we're doing this.
	So I'm fine with that.
	I mean, I look at this woman.
	Women's sports should be banned, but no, no, we're going to have men.
	Yeah.
	So I have no problem with that at all.
	I just feel...
	I will have my one complaint about the way women's sports have been handled.
	Is that they lost...
	The women, you know, had a number of women-specific sports that have been somewhat...
	Either completely marginalized, kicked off, or just banned from being played anymore.
	And one of them was, I think it's called six-man basketball.
	Women played it.
	And it was a form of basketball that was fascinating that was for women, and it was played mostly in the Midwest.
	It's like an obscure sport now where you had essentially an offensive team and a defensive team.
	So three people would play in the front court and three people in the back court and they would never cross over the midline.
	It was a fascinating form of basketball because it was women's and it didn't fall into Title IX or whatever they're using to change things.
	I don't know.
	Just a personal grudge.
	Can we go back to COVID? Yeah.
	Yeah, we'll revisit this topic later.
	Yes, let's go back to COVID. Let's go to the Brazil update.
	Ooh, okay.
	Yes, it's always good to bring in something from a foreign correspondent.
	It's called sheep dipping.
	In Brazil, COVID-19, which has killed at least 516,000 people, caused life expectancy decline in estimated 1.3 years in 2020, a stark finding in the country where the second worst death toll after the United States.
	Thanks.
	They have to hound Brazil because it's run by this Bolsonaro.
	Of course, of course, we can't have it.
	The Trump of the South, of course, it's no good.
	Yeah, so they're going to ruin him.
	Indonesia, let's go there and see what's going on.
	As the Delta variant threatens to hamper COVID-19 recovery efforts around the world, the Red Cross is warning Indonesia is on the edge of catastrophe as health systems struggle to keep up with the influx of patients.
	This is a nurse in Jakarta.
	A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of a lack of beds.
	What?
	Did you hear that?
	Wait a minute.
	I want to hear the end.
	A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of a lack of beds.
	So people were dead because they had no beds.
	No, they're worse than that.
	They were dead on arrival.
	Yeah, because of no beds.
	Because of a lack of beds.
	How does that work?
	So they came in, in other words, they died on the ambulance, so they're just dead.
	No, no, no.
	And if there were beds, they would.
	I think I can explain it.
	You have to be pronounced dead before you're dead.
	So they show up, they come into the hospital, they're waiting there, they're dead.
	And then they check and say, oh, it's dead.
	We didn't have a bed.
	So then it's a lack of beds.
	I don't know.
	It's Amy.
	Why are we even talking about it?
	It wasn't her talking.
	It was some reporter.
	It's her report.
	They're dead on arrival.
	Dead on arrival is dead on arrival.
	I don't care whether beds or no beds.
	Yeah, this is the kind of reporting you get from democracy now.
	A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of a lack of beds.
	I don't know what they meant, but it sounds pretty lame.
	Check in with Team Halo over on TikTok.
	As you know, Jen Psaki hosted TikTok stars at the White House for a briefing.
	I didn't know this.
	Yes, taking a page from President Trump.
	Only, you know, he got bloggers and YouTubers and maybe some podcasters.
	Let's see.
	Happening soon, Jen Psaki in meeting with internet stars for the first ever social media briefing.
	Yeah.
	Let's see.
	Oh, among questions about poverty, reduction, immigration, and making life better for teachers, Psaki and the internet stars bantered about Lady Gaga.
	How to get kids to quit asking for expensive toys, capes, and spirit animals.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	It was, interestingly, it wasn't on TikTok.
	They put it on YouTube.
	I'm going to have to watch that.
	I want to see some of the interaction.
	But here's the result.
	There's an important update about the Delta variant.
	You've probably heard by now that it's 60% more transmissible than the Alpha variant, which means twice as transmissible as the original COVID. But new modeling shows that that's not the only reason why it was spreading so strongly in India.
	Turns out that even if you had COVID before, it's able to escape that immunity almost 46% of the time.
	Compared to the vaccines, which are still showing between 80 and 88% protection versus the Delta variant.
	So if you're someone who's had COVID and has been relying on their natural immunity to protect them, you might want to think again and still go and get those vaccines.
	Yeah, go and get those vaccines, kids.
	You might want to think about it.
	Go and get the vaccine.
	And they're doing this everywhere.
	Tonight, mass confusion as a growing number of top doctors and now the most populous county in the nation, Los Angeles, says even the vaccinated should wear a mask and keep their social distance indoors.
	We're flying by the seat of our pants here.
	Breaking from CDC guidance, LA County is now aligned with the WHO, urging universal mask use in public spaces indoors, citing the spread of the Delta variant for the new voluntary safety measure.
	I wanted to wear a mask today.
	Even the Illinois governor setting an example.
	But the backtrack on guidance just before gatherings for the 4th of July is sending mixed messages.
	Implementing a mask mandate in the absence of, you know, broader spread of the virus is likely to erode the ability to implement these kinds of measures when we need them.
	We need to give the public a breather.
	Gaining ground every day, the highly contagious and dangerous Delta variant now accounts for 26% of COVID cases in the U.S. And now a new small study says mRNA vaccines may provide protection for years with caveats.
	Some even suggesting those vaccinated with J&J get a booster with an mRNA vaccine.
	There it is.
	You need a booster.
	Now, this is what's weird.
	I think what's happening is they have this small study that came out.
	The small study shows that the mRNA vaccines, Pfizer and Moderna, may have protection for years and years and years.
	Well, that is not a message Pfizer or Moderna want out there.
	So that's, I think, why they're saying, but, you know, if you've had the Johnson& Johnson, you might as well get this because it's years and years and years and years.
	Meanwhile, some good news.
	A new study suggests the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines might provide long-term protection even without a booster shot.
	What this study adds is that our immune systems are continuing to make antibodies.
	That's great news.
	Immunity may last for years.
	But we still need to see a little bit more data about if, you know, the elderly immunocompromised people may need boosters, or if people who were previously recovering from COVID-19 and getting vaccinated may not need boosters at all.
	We just have to wait and see.
	Health experts say people at high risk will be the first to get booster shots if they're needed.
	Did you hear that one little comment in there?
	Which one?
	The one that says, have you actually had COVID? You won't need a booster?
	Hold on a second.
	Let me hear it again.
	We still need to see a little bit more data about if the elderly immunocompromised people may need boosters, or if people who were previously recovering from COVID-19 and getting vaccinated may not need boosters at all.
	We just have to wait and see.
	Oh, interesting.
	So if you recovered and you're vaccinated, you won't need a booster.
	Can you believe that?
	I would hope not.
	But this is the point, is that the breakthrough cases are exactly these people.
	This is a problem.
	It's a huge problem.
	For the marketing people again.
	I mean, there has to be a...
	First of all, it's a small study.
	Here's what's going to have to happen.
	And this will happen.
	The study will be debunked.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	It's pre-print only, so bah.
	It's too small a study.
	It turns out not to be the case.
	We'll start hearing stories about it.
	No, it's not true.
	And then there's going to be a second thing that I will predict, is that Johnson& Johnson is going to, they're going to find a way to do a study.
	They'll just pay for it.
	Some phony baloney study that if you get their shot, it turns out to last a lot longer than they expected.
	You know...
	I actually...
	Because they're not pushing the booster idea.
	They're just...
	And the Johnson& Johnson shot, you have to remember, is a cheap shot.
	It's only $10.
	Oh, really?
	Oh, I didn't realize that.
	No, I brought him down.
	The Johnson& Johnson shot is $10.
	The Pfizer's $20.
	$19.95 or some stupid marketing price.
	Right, right, right.
	The Pfizer's $20.
	And the Moderna's $30.
	Hmm.
	Well, let's hear what Dr.
	Fauci has to say.
	He still is allowed to go out and do interviews, and this is somehow, you know, the way he's on his radar.
	I do want to ask you, when we get into the fall, is there any risk of another wave or a surge in COVID, or are the worst days behind us?
	Well, what we're going to see likely is two separate situations, Lester.
	Okay.
	If you are fully vaccinated, it is extremely unlikely that you're going to see a surge.
	If you are unvaccinated, in those pockets, if you look at the map of the country, there are certain states, particularly some of the southern states, where the level of vaccination is really, I think, dangerously low.
	As you get into the fall, you will see a countrywide surge.
	You'll see surges that are regional.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, it's regional, so they're going to focus on that.
	And Lester Holt missed a big – I mean, listen to this.
	Tell me if you hear the same thing I'm hearing what Dr.
	Fauci is saying.
	Is it a given, in your opinion, that the Delta variant will become the predominant variant in this country?
	And what does that mean for unvaccinated people?
	Well, there's very little doubt, Lester, that the Delta variant is not going to become the dominant.
	Every country that it has gone into...
	Did you hear what he said?
	Yeah, I said not.
	There's very little doubt that it's not going to become...
	Let's hear it again.
	Well, there's very little doubt, Lester, that the Delta variant is not going to become the dominant.
	Every country that it has gone...
	I mean, does that truth want to come out?
	Or is he just confused with his negatives?
	I think he knows that it's not going to be the dominant.
	I think so, too.
	I think so too.
	He's doing one of those phraseology tricks where you put it in such a way that people think you're saying one thing but you're saying another.
	And then when you're called out on it, you go back to him and say, did you hear what I said?
	Yeah, didn't you listen to what I said?
	I don't think he's that smart.
	I really don't.
	I don't think he's into wordsmithing.
	Well, you're probably right.
	Well, you may be wrong now that I think about it.
	This guy's not a dummy.
	He's been doing this for years and he's been getting away with it.
	He's really good at saying, oh, well, when I was talking about the masks...
	Oh, yeah, he is good at that.
	Yeah, you're right.
	You're right.
	It was clear at the time what I meant.
	Exactly.
	Let's look at some vaccine incentives.
	Of course, we already had our McDonald's incentive.
	This is the governor of Louisiana who has a handy tip.
	You can take simple steps to prepare for hurricanes, including getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
	You have one in your kit, just a syringe in there, ready to go?
	I just want to hear it one more time.
	You can take simple steps to prepare for hurricanes, including getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
	I love my job.
	Unbelievable.
	Not as much as the governor of West Virginia loves his job.
	Now, we've been tracking this goomba.
	This guy.
	Now, he said, do it for the baby dog.
	Remember, he had his bulldog.
	You know, I'm going to shoot my dog.
	If you don't, I'll get vaccinated.
	Well, the guy talks with me such and such.
	Kirk Terrain, I can't barely understand what he's talking about.
	That's the guy!
	Well, when you turn your back and say, nope, I'm not doing that, all you're doing is entering the death drawing.
	There were six.
	There were six today.
	How many is there going to be the next time we sit down?
	How many is there going to be on next Tuesday?
	I'm betting it'll be eight or nine.
	I mean, if I knew, and then I'll quit.
	If I knew for certain that there was going to be eight or nine people die by next Tuesday, and I could be one of them if I don't take the vaccine, What in the world do you think I would do?
	I mean, I would run over top of somebody.
	Because I don't want to take the chance when the wheel spins that it can come up Jim Justice.
	I don't want to take that chance.
	I think this is exactly, we need to make this a game show.
	It's so obvious.
	Because you have your contestants.
	Alright everybody, it's time to roll that big wheel.
	Wheel!
	Wait, where's my wheel?
	I need a wheel.
	Damn it.
	Thought I had a wheel.
	I don't have a wheel.
	Damn.
	Shoot.
	I was ready for a wheel effect.
	No, I don't have it.
	Go get one.
	Eh, I'll work on it.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Now to some of the scientific stuff.
	Just briefly, maybe interesting to hear for under a minute from the inventor of the mRNA technology, Dr.
	Robert Malone.
	He's been around.
	I'm always looking for just a short clip so we can get right to the nucleus of what he's saying.
	A lot of long podcasts.
	So he invented the technology.
	It's been around for a long time.
	He is very specific about how long it would take to know if it's safe.
	And, spoiler, it's not.
	It is true that we don't know what the long-term effects are going to be.
	And it's not just the technology and the specific chemicals that are being used for wrapping the RNA in its little FedEx package.
	It's also, we call it the payload.
	The thing that's expressed, the protein.
	In this case, it's the spike protein.
	A lot of these side effects, I suspect strongly, are a consequence of what is being produced.
	And spike wasn't the only option.
	It was just kind of the easy option that was chosen at first.
	And I suspect in the next generations, we're going to see very different things than biologically active spike.
	We'll see.
	But you're absolutely right.
	We can't know what the long-term effects are unless we give enough time to assess those.
	You want two years after a lot of people have been vaccinated.
	Alright, so it sounds inconclusive so far, how safe it is.
	And these spike proteins, the way he's talking about it, seems almost like, well, we'll just throw this shit at it.
	That'll probably work.
	I mean, none of this sounds great.
	That's exactly what they did.
	And he says that was the easiest way.
	Yeah.
	And then, and this blew me away, because I had written it off.
	This may be an end zone dance, but we'll probably have to wait a while.
	Magnetofection.
	We talked about this, about the magnetized arms.
	Yeah, somehow, the magnetized arms somehow...
	Brass keys, which aren't even magnetic, will stick to those arms.
	It's unbelievable.
	No, you're making this up.
	I haven't seen brass keys stick to it.
	I have.
	I've seen brass keys more than once.
	And you're not being facetious?
	You mean it?
	You saw brass keys?
	On various YouTube videos, yeah.
	There's one recent that was, I think, even floating around on the No Agenda Macedon system.
	Oh, then it must be true.
	Well, we talked about this in the context of several patents and technology that exists of controlling animals with magnetic substances that are in their brain, and you can make them very, very happy.
	And so, of course, I took this straight to 5G, and we laughed about it.
	But now it turns out that magnetofection is a real thing.
	It is the reason why people are seeing magnetic effects from the area where they've received their mRNA shot.
	And this is Dr., what is her name?
	Dr.
	Jane something, rather.
	I'll look it up.
	It's real.
	We know it's real.
	There's an entire science in the literature about it.
	And we also know something else that's really tragic and horrific.
	It was intentionally added to these injections.
	Why, you're asking me?
	Because it is a more aggressive delivery mechanism to get it into every cell in your body.
	It's a process called magnetofection.
	All this information is readily available.
	You can do the research yourself.
	You can look at the government's website, PubMed, to look at the peer-reviewed journal studies that have been published on this particular science.
	And what it is, Stu, is they are using magnetic fields through different chemicals to actually concentrate The mRNA into people's cells.
	This is in alignment with everything we've been reporting for weeks now.
	We just know what and how is behind these magnetic phenomenon where people are having these items are sticking to them.
	So what it is is it's part of the lipid nanoparticle And it's just, it's a super delivery system.
	And there are places in your body that, you know, other synthetic DNA or RNA should not be going.
	And yet, this approach forces the material, the mRNA encoding, to force your cells, again, to make over and over again these dangerous spike proteins all over your body.
	It's actually a forced gene delivery system.
	You're going to be hearing something more and more about something called SPIONS. It's an acronym.
	S-P-I-O-N-S. And it stands for Supra Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles.
	Where they're putting this magnetic field technology is in and around the lipid nanoparticle envelope to get this mRNA into your cells.
	I love it.
	I have no idea if she's full of crap or not.
	I have no idea.
	This is bullshit.
	By the way, who is she saying when she says, we have been reporting?
	We have been reporting?
	Who is she talking about?
	Oh, this is from something on the equivalent of Cheddar.
	You know, one of those channels.
	So, I think that's what she means.
	She's probably the doctor for the...
	for we...
	Jane Ruby.
	Dr.
	Jane Ruby.
	Hold on, let me go look her up.
	Already sounds like a phony baloney name, doesn't it?
	But I like playing these things because you never know.
	Hey, they're out there.
	We can find them, play them.
	Exactly.
	So I can say bullshit or I can go old brother.
	Jane Ruby, Jane Ruby.
	Jane.
	Okay, Jane Ruby is a Washington, D.C.-based television personality.
	No, is that the right one?
	Yes.
	Oh, new right political pundit, film producer, author of A Sea of New Media, and has hosted several television shows such as Dr.
	Jane's DC and Inside Look TV magazine.
	A graduate of University of Rochester, she holds two doctoral degrees in education and psychology, two master's degrees in nursing and international health economics, And is highly published in global health economics as well as contemporary media and social issues, books and articles, blah, blah, blah.
	I don't know.
	Could be.
	Could be.
	I don't know.
	By the way, I thought you were going to go in a different direction.
	I think it would be more interesting because there is some evidence of this.
	Which is the idea, because Scott Adams had a tweet.
	I was trying to post it on the Macedon account, but they wouldn't take the photo.
	Yeah, I know.
	Because I had over-exceeded my limit.
	Excuse me, excuse me, stop.
	Did you get a message that said you've exceeded your limit?
	Yeah.
	A message came up and said you've exceeded your limit.
	Well, why didn't you put that in your error message when you posted, who do I complain to?
	Is that my voice?
	No.
	Let me try it again.
	That's your voice.
	You got me down as a comic strip blogger now.
	I'm sorry.
	Let's go back to this.
	What I was trying to post was a Scott Adams tweet, which I thought was fascinating because it falls back into something we used to talk about and we stopped talking about.
	Okay.
	Which is, Scott says, you know, I felt I got my Pfizer shot.
	Mm-hmm.
	Poor guy.
	He says, I got my Pfizer shot and I felt liberated.
	No, it wasn't superhuman.
	That's what we used to talk about.
	This one was he felt liberated.
	Before that, he felt like he was imprisoned.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, he was imprisoned in his own home.
	Yes, it was a good prison to have, but I would say, you know, if he had done, I mean, I never, I went out during the whole beginning of this thing because I was media exempt.
	I knew I was.
	I looked at the, I took a look at the edicts of the various counties.
	I read them.
	Nobody else does this.
	And it said what I could do and what I couldn't do.
	I didn't listen to the news.
	They're not telling me anything accurate.
	So I figured out what I could do, what I couldn't do, and I just went.
	I was fine.
	I just went and did whatever I felt like doing.
	I had to wear a mask a lot.
	But I didn't feel imprisoned.
	Yeah, hold on.
	To be fair, Scott Adams has, I believe, some respiratory issues.
	When the fires were burning around California, he didn't go out.
	So I think he has some...
	The guy is a mess.
	Medically, the guy is a mess.
	He has a lot of weird health issues.
	He's got a lot of problems, yeah.
	But what's the shot going to do?
	Invincible was the term.
	Invincible.
	Right.
	That's what we'll go back to.
	Now, if what this woman is saying is true, and we take it from a different perspective instead of this magnetic thing, and say that it's used to calm animals and make them feel happy...
	Isn't this going in that direction where you're all, they got the shot.
	Oh, I feel so happy because it actually does have this effect.
	Maybe there is something.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	What do you think?
	I like it.
	This is why there's two of us.
	I like that a lot.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	I'll keep our eye on that.
	We have to go back to that train of thought.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Well, the invincible.
	You're exactly right.
	And people kept saying, I feel so good.
	Like, wow, I got to rush.
	Like, I was ready to go.
	You know, we thought, I think, at least I did.
	Yeah, we thought people were just so depressed by being locked down.
	They were relieved.
	You know, they felt, yes.
	We thought it was psychological.
	But is it possible that it wasn't psychological?
	It wasn't some bullcrap.
	It was real.
	Because of this effect that we're discussing here.
	Oh my goodness, that's a good one.
	I'll look up some of those clips for Sunday's show.
	Yeah, we've got to get back to those.
	Now, the one thing that is really encouraging to see is the ivermectin story.
	It's kind of unstoppable.
	Fox News is all over it.
	No clips, obviously.
	But, you know, screw Fox News.
	They weren't all ivermectin before because they have, you know, they've got, what do you call them?
	Oh, yeah, advertisers, pharmaceutical advertisers.
	Big problem.
	Yeah, ivermectin, we have to remember, is cheap.
	It's like really cheap, like a nickel.
	Well, on the Bill Maher show, Bill Maher, I have to give it to the guy.
	He's wrong on lots of stuff, but man, sometimes he really comes through, and you won't hear much, well, you will hear some, but not much applause from his audience as he sits down with Dan Carlin, who we know as Dan from the Hardcore History Podcast, to talk about ivermectin, but also really about the censorship Because that was his whole spiel before, is you couldn't post about it, and Google took it down, YouTube took it down, and then about Brett Weinstein, all this stuff, and so here's his little bit.
	This is outrageous that I can't look this information up, and now they're doing it with this drug, Ivermectin?
	They threw Brett Weinstein off YouTube, or almost, he's one strike away.
	YouTube should not be telling me what I can see about Ivermectin.
	Ivermectin isn't a registered Republican, it's a drug.
	I don't know if it works or not, and a lot of other doctors don't either.
	This dovetails into the monopoly thing, though.
	If you didn't have such control over, I mean, searches, for example, this wouldn't be as much of an issue because if you didn't go to Google, you could go somewhere else.
	And you can go somewhere else.
	But when you have a market, what is it, 90% Google controls and searches?
	Yeah, I mean, at that point, this is a function of the monopoly.
	When it becomes the word for doing it, you have a monopoly.
	Yes.
	You know.
	People don't say, I'm going to Bing something.
	Oh.
	Is that true, Bill Maher?
	Bing it.
	Just bing it.
	Just bing it.
	I have that somewhere, don't I? That's not it.
	No.
	You had a better one.
	Based on the...
	Just bing it.
	Just bing it.
	Exactly.
	Bingit.io is where you want to go.
	Bingit.io.
	I have two more, because just to prove the mainstream is all over ivermectin, and it's okay to talk about, which can only mean that something new is coming, and I'm pretty sure that will be a revisit of ivermectin.
	We're hearing Pfizer is coming up with a pill.
	Merck might be coming up with a pill.
	Dr.
	Pierre Corey, the guy responsible for deplatforming, was with the Crypto Cougar.
	So does this boil down to money then, Dr.
	Corey?
	I mean, this drug made by Merck, ivermectin, is off patent.
	They're not making any money on it anymore.
	But now Fauci says he's looking at a drug that's going to be a patented drug made by Merck.
	Aren't the underlying chemicals the same?
	So now they're going to have that on patent so that they could make a huge profit on it?
	Well, that is so clearly, it's a glaring example of the system that we're in, which is that for-profit medicines are favored to almost the total exclusion of non-profit medicines.
	And so you see all of this money being thrown at pharmaceutical companies.
	To develop new therapies when we already have existing repurposed drugs that are highly effective.
	They will never develop a drug that is more effective than ivermectin.
	I find it absurd.
	Our government just committed over $4 billion in two different areas this week to try to find an oral antiviral early treatment therapy.
	We have it now.
	We can save so many lives.
	This is a treatable disease.
	We've identified that drug.
	And it needs to be systematically deployed throughout the healthcare system.
	Okay, that's a big change for any news network to be doing.
	That was massive.
	Yes.
	That's a great clip.
	And wait, he takes it one step further.
	Over 100,000 patients' lives would have been saved had the NIH instituted ivermectin when we presented to them in early January.
	If they had done what Mexico did, over 100,000 American lives would have been saved.
	And around the world, if they had followed our lead, we're talking about over a million lives based just on that paper.
	How is this getting through?
	I mean, someone said, okay...
	I mean, Fox has pharma ads?
	Or, hmm, wait.
	They're just going to blame it on Fauci, I guess.
	Fauci and, well, the media will take no blame, but that's where the blame is because it was a Trump thing.
	This really has me stopped in my tracks.
	I'm trying to process how they're getting what's going on here.
	There's something going on.
	Is it maybe a part of the whole walk-back, the whole quick turnaround that we've seen?
	I mean, maybe the other boot hasn't dropped yet.
	The walk-back.
	By the way, he uses the term non-profit drugs.
	Those drugs make a profit.
	Hell yeah!
	He said non-profit.
	What he should say is non-gouging drugs.
	Yeah.
	Those drugs make...
	All the generic drugs make a profit.
	Of course they do.
	And in fact, the big...
	As far as I remember from our own reporting, the big pharma companies bought up all of the generic companies.
	So it's really the same company.
	Yeah, there's a lot of...
	Unfortunately, that should be illegal.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, something's up.
	I think that clip is...
	Those are important clips.
	You should put them aside.
	We have to play them again.
	Not today, but I'm just saying...
	Something's up.
	But the thing that was, I thought, important in that comment by this guy was the idea that the number of lives that were unnecessarily lost.
	Yeah.
	Is really going to be a kicker.
	That's a big deal for...
	I mean, it's Fox Business News, so believe me, at this moment, a lot more people are listening to this podcast than watch that.
	Yes, that's probably true.
	We give it a little boost there, but...
	Interesting.
	Alright, well that stopped me in my tracks.
	Yes, well do you have anything else on the COVIDs or are we...
	I think I'm looking at my COVID stuff.
	No, I do have something that's kind of an offshoot of the COVID. Okay, sure.
	Because I was just thinking about it as I was looking at my clip list here, which I don't have printed out because my printer doesn't work.
	What's wrong with the printer?
	It just borked?
	I just borked it.
	I can get it to work, but you got to reboot this and that.
	Ah, it's the drivers.
	It's always the drivers.
	But we played that clip.
	We may play that clip again.
	It was pretty short, which was the clip from COVID Indonesia cases.
	Because I play that clip again and I want to play a follow-up clip and tell me if maybe there's a connection.
	As the Delta variant threatens to hamper COVID-19 recovery efforts around the world, the Red Cross is warning Indonesia is on the edge of catastrophe as health systems struggle to keep up with the influx of patients.
	This is a nurse in Jakarta.
	A lot of cases were dead on arrival because of a lock of beds.
	Okay.
	I still like it.
	That's our clip.
	Now let's play this clip and tell me maybe there's something else going on here.
	Play Indonesia, China, USA.
	The U.S. and Indonesia are building a new maritime training center in the South China Sea.
	That's to counter the Chinese regime's increasing threat in the region.
	The $3.5 million center is located at the strategic meeting point of the Malacca Strait in the South China Sea.
	The Malacca Strait is a strategically crucial choke point for global maritime trade, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific.
	The U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, Sung Kim, said last week that the center would strengthen security in the region.
	The decision to build the center comes amid rising tensions in the South China Sea.
	Since April, hundreds of Chinese vessels have been lingering around the Spratly Islands.
	The Philippines have repeatedly protested against them.
	And Indonesia also revealed earlier this month that it had been planning to expand its submarine fleet from four vessels to 12.
	Okay, so the Chinese are killing people.
	Thank you.
	To make a point.
	To make a point.
	Maybe.
	To make a point.
	I mean, the accusations are now everywhere that the Chinese, they lost control of the virus.
	So they said, screw it, let's infect everybody.
	Why wouldn't they use that over and over again?
	Well, that's a good point.
	All I know is that this seems like too much of a coincidence, this idea that...
	And this, by the way, is not being reported.
	That was NTD, you know, the Tang, New Tang Dynasty, whatever it is.
	New Tang Clan?
	New Wontang.
	Yeah.
	And it's like, that's not being...
	Our mainstream media is not reporting any of this international stuff that's going on.
	There's quite a bit that's happening.
	Yeah, well, so just on that, and we don't have to stick on it too long, I think this Bill Cosby thing was a distraction, and it was meant to distract from a lot of things, probably in particular from former President Trump going to the border and making a big splash.
	Yeah, I keep hearing this too, but I'm telling you, I've got my local news, we're a left-wing area.
	Yeah.
	The Cosby thing was not even barely reported.
	It's just the opposite of what happened.
	Interesting.
	I keep hearing this.
	Oh, it's a big distraction.
	Yeah.
	Where's the distraction?
	They're talking about Trump at the border here on the local news in the San Francisco Bay Area.
	I can't see it all over.
	I'm not seeing it as much of a distraction.
	Sure, John.
	It's a local story for local news.
	But national news, it was really all about Cosby.
	I mean, the news broke.
	I was monitoring every single channel.
	Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cosby.
	Then a follow-up, and then a woman who, you know...
	Oh, you're talking about the networks.
	Yes, of course, the networks.
	The local stories, that doesn't count.
	I mean, of course, we got all...
	The local stories in Austin will tell you that Austin is a shithole, but you're not going to get that on the national news.
	No way.
	No way.
	I just don't see that.
	I don't think that the national news...
	Yeah, okay.
	Well, maybe the national news played up the Cosby thing a bit.
	No, a lot.
	A lot.
	And it was on the same day that Trump was there.
	Okay, let's take it from another perspective.
	See, I'm not buying this argument.
	But let's take it from another perspective.
	Let's say the Cosby thing never happened.
	Are they going to cover Trump?
	I don't think so.
	Okay.
	Yeah, fair.
	Fair.
	I mean, someone would cover him.
	Look, I don't know.
	Well, the national news, they put him aside and they leave him there.
	Cosby was just convenient.
	If there was no Cosby story, Trump wouldn't be covered anyway.
	They don't like Trump.
	No, they...
	Okay.
	They're not going to cover this thing because it's a publicity stunt.
	Hmm.
	I just don't see it.
	Okay.
	I don't see Cosby being a big, giant distraction, personally.
	I felt that that's all there was on the network, so personally, I thought it was a huge, huge distraction.
	I thought it was still mostly the collapsed buildings.
	No, they interrupted the collapsed buildings for the Cosby stuff all day yesterday.
	That's okay.
	But your point is valid, that it probably was not distracting from Trump, although it did.
	I mean, just look at the news that is being plastered in our face.
	You yourself did the 3x3 this morning.
	Right?
	It's Britney Spears, it's Cosby, and then Kondo.
	It's the BCC. Yeah, I did the 3x3, and none of those three stories that you just mentioned were in the 3x3.
	But what were the stories?
	Were they interesting stories about the world in general?
	No, they were stupid.
	They're always stupid, and they were promotional, entertainment promotional crap.
	Yeah.
	That's why we have to do this at least twice a week.
	I could do an extra day, I'm telling you.
	There's so much going on.
	No, you couldn't.
	Ah, don't tempt me.
	Well, you already do two other podcasts.
	How many podcasts do you want to do?
	I want to do it non-stop.
	That's all I want to do, day in, day out.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in, can't fix the printer, John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	Hold on a second.
	Here we go.
	Let's see.
	Hands up, trolls.
	How many do we have?
	Now, what is supposed to be a good number for a Thursday show?
	A Thursday show, and its peak was probably, it averaged around 1850.
	1828 today, so we're pretty good.
	We're doing good.
	People are tuning in.
	I wonder why.
	Because there's so much going on.
	People need...
	What's more going on than last Thursday?
	They need the guiding light.
	What's more guiding light do they need than last Thursday?
	Why don't you go in the troll room and ask them?
	I'm sure they'd be happy to help.
	I'm just asking the obvious question.
	Do somethings up if there's more than usual here?
	You too can join the more than usual amount of trolls by going to trollroom.io.
	That's where you find our No Agenda stream that plays along.
	Everyone hears the same stream at the same time.
	And then you can chat about it if it's a live show.
	If it's a troll, that's fine too.
	But there's also podcasts that roll out in between the live shows.
	And you can do it.
	It's 24-7.
	Go in there, check out the trolls, trollroom.io.
	Or if you want, follow us on our Mastodon federated instance.
	You can follow at Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com or at John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	You can recognize John's postings by the lack of images, since he's been limited.
	And he complained.
	I've been screwed, man.
	That's exactly right.
	They're shuddering me.
	They're shadow banning me, my images.
	And we need to thank the artists for the artwork for episode 1359.
	The title of that was Sheep Digging, and this artwork was the Cornhole League, brought to you by Brad1X.
	Now, there were a couple things we were going to say about the art choices.
	This was the big cornhole artwork, but there were a number of things, which, of course, you forced the cornhole.
	As you always do.
	Now, I remember very...
	I took notes.
	So, you first liked the I am disappointed flying saucer picture.
	You liked that one.
	I did?
	Yes, you did.
	You said...
	Okay.
	I like it.
	And I said, it's too sparse.
	It's really not.
	And the flying saucer is going to be too small.
	Then we talked about...
	It's taking me forever to get to that.
	Okay, I'm here now.
	You got it.
	Then there was the two corn holes side by sides.
	Yes, I did like that flying saucer one.
	I just thought it was kind of I just had a certain thing to it.
	The Cornhole one was the best because it was well done, but it wasn't funny, and we both talked about this.
	Yes.
	Now, I have to discuss something else as we go on through this because it was for the show before.
	I think Tantanil had this art with the In fact, let's go back to it.
	Go back to the tent.
	Okay, you mean the Nike stuff or what?
	No, no, the one before that with the house no agenda, new horror budget book.
	No, that's two shows ago.
	Okay, is that two shows ago?
	I think so, yeah.
	Okay, she sent a note.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	About the orange background.
	We complained about the background color.
	She says the background colors are identical on both those artworks.
	In fact, the card is identical.
	The background color is identical.
	Nothing was changed, she says.
	It's only because of the image change and it gives an optical illusion of darkness.
	I say it's bullshit.
	I'm looking at it right now.
	Well, this is very interesting.
	Because I remember those two...
	Now, I'm colorblind, so I think that I'm very susceptible.
	You said, I don't like the...
	Because I was looking at just the logo.
	The logo versus the big parliament building.
	The coat of arms.
	And you said, I like the orange on that other one better.
	And when I looked at the two, and they're diagonal on the page, right under each other...
	I saw a different color.
	Now that you just said this, I can't tell the difference.
	It looks like the background color is the same.
	There's an old trick.
	Is this a dress blue silver?
	No.
	You take a piece of paper and you run it across the top of that card so you only see no agenda or part.
	It says no age and you see the background color and do it on both images.
	At the same time.
	Okay.
	This is darker.
	I'm sorry.
	I think she screwed up and made it darker by accident.
	I can't see it.
	Well, I've got software that can make this determination.
	I'll do it later.
	Ah!
	We're going to do some forensic analysis.
	I like this.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Yes.
	Zoom, enhance, rotate.
	All right.
	And then what happens if it turns out that she was wrong?
	If it's off by one hex...
	I'm going to ridicule her to an extreme.
	I'm going to grouse and moan.
	I don't know.
	Nothing's going to happen.
	The art's done.
	We really appreciate Brad1X and all of the artists, of course, for the outstanding work they always do.
	It's a part of our value-for-value model.
	You can support us financially.
	You can support us with information, your expertise.
	That can be talent, time as well.
	Artists usually put both in.
	And the artists are fantastic.
	They do this stuff during the show regularly.
	Just in the...
	It's kind of like Bitcoin mining.
	You know, they're just doing it in hopes of getting that one Bitcoin, which would be the equivalent of being chosen for the artwork.
	So there's something...
	And I think it's fulfilling for them.
	And I think they...
	Well, I think, you know, it's almost like an element of knitting.
	You know, people knit when they're doing stuff.
	Yeah.
	They're listening to the show.
	They might knit.
	They might knit a sweater.
	So they're just doing...
	They're just...
	They're just doing art without even, like, second nature almost?
	They're listening and they're doing their art because they...
	I don't know if you've ever known any artists in school, like even in grammar school, people that were real, I mean, they were just natural artists.
	Like in the eighth grade, there'd be one kid just essentially, no matter what was going on in class, they're drawing all the time.
	Yeah.
	Tina's like that on the phone.
	She's always doodling.
	She draws and doodles.
	Yeah, there's people that just draw and they draw and they never stop drawing.
	They're drawing all the time and that's what, it's second nature.
	It's like, not a surprise to me that you have them doing it during the show.
	Well, we really love it and keep it going.
	These things often show up over at NoAgendaShop.com and the artists get a piece of that with hats, mugs, t-shirts, hoodies, you name it.
	Did you get your mug?
	Did you get the World's Greatest Dad COVID Survivor mug?
	Was it sent to the P.O. Box?
	No.
	I don't think so.
	No.
	Well, if it was sent to the P.O. Box...
	Oh, no, no.
	This was a while ago.
	This was a while back, wasn't it?
	Yeah, like a month ago.
	Yeah, I think I did.
	Yeah.
	I think so.
	I can't remember who sent it, but I want to thank him.
	Thanks to all of our artists.
	If you're using a Podcasting 2.0 app, you can see all of these images flying by.
	It's our cloud chapters, as they're known.
	We do talk about all the features of Podcasting 2.0, but President Trump said something just the other day that I want to remind everybody was the mission one of the Podcast Index was to preserve podcasting as a platform of free speech.
	Listen to Trump.
	You can't be censured by Amazon and by Google and by Apple.
	You know, that's the problem.
	I mean, you saw what happened with Parler or Parler, as they sometimes call it.
	But you take a look at what happened to Parler.
	And others, they get shut down as soon as somebody puts something that's somewhat controversial.
	No, you have to have your own cloud.
	Or you have to have your own means of getting it out because as soon as you get big or powerful or you start saying anything that's somewhat conservative, they will censor you and they will take you off.
	That's right.
	And that's part of what it is.
	Over 4 million podcasts.
	Now track no deplatforming.
	Can't deplatform what you can't touch.
	Exactly.
	Decentralization is the way to go.
	Yeah, let's thank a few decentralized producers.
	Exactly.
	We have quite a slew of them today, I believe.
	And they're all decentralized and starting with Daria Racatini in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.
	$463.33.
	She's at the top of the list.
	She actually gave this money before and it got kicked back to her for some reason.
	Oh, gee.
	What a better way to celebrate Canada Day and the arrival of our third human resource than...
	And gifting myself a damehood.
	Nice.
	I'm counting below.
	Nice.
	Our baby daughter was born on June 15th, and I can relate to not wanting to be called a birthing person as some kind of third person, LOL, for the name Dame Daria is great.
	And for the round table, please add sashimi, as that's what I miss the most during pregnancy.
	Yeah.
	And a good dry white wine.
	John, any recommendations?
	Kistler Chardonnay.
	Let's do that.
	Hold on a second.
	I've got to put this in now.
	Kistler Chardonnay.
	You got it.
	Thank you for keeping us sane with the best show in the universe.
	One more quick and interesting note.
	My oldest son was referred to as an We refer to an allergologist.
	Allergiologist?
	No, it says geologist.
	An allergy specialist is what I would say.
	By his pediatrician.
	The receptionist called a couple of days ago to make an appointment and said that in order for the child to come by for an in-person appointment, both parents have to be fully vaccinated from COVID-19.
	Oh, that's in Canada.
	It's illegal to do that in this country.
	I told her that this was not going to happen, to which she replied, even by September?
	As the appointment will be in mid-September, I said that this is a personal information that we don't have to share and that we are not going to be fully or partially vaccinated by September, that's for sure.
	We'll see what happens when September rolls.
	But if this doctor will demand parents' vaccination, we will try to get that in writing.
	Okay, good idea.
	Yeah.
	I guess we should give her some karma.
	Yes, but I kind of love just the whole idea that these people don't even consider that you wouldn't be vaccinated.
	It's like, well, maybe you don't have time or something like that.
	There's absolutely no consideration.
	I find that baffling from my fellow colleagues in the medical field.
	You've got karma.
	Peter's next on the list from Houston.
	42225, I'll get this.
	You get the next two.
	Oh, yay.
	Please keep my last name anonymous.
	This, Peter Anonymous.
	This donation brings me to knighthood.
	Please dub me Sir Berserker.
	I request Houston Hayes IPA. By the way, this is funny to me.
	I've noticed there's a lot of these Hayes beers.
	Have you noticed this?
	No.
	If you go to these brew pubs, everyone's doing haze.
	Do you mean haze as in purple haze?
	No, it's in...
	Haze as in protein haze in the beer that needs to either be filtered out or improperly brewed.
	It's crap, is what you're saying.
	It's a pro...
	Yeah, it's...
	Yes, and they...
	What are we going to do with this terrible beer?
	It's got...
	Look at it.
	We can't even see through it.
	It looks like a...
	What's that winter...
	That weak beer they make in Germany during the hot summer months.
	Oh...
	I'm not talking to a beer guy.
	No, you're not really.
	Vessenheimer or something like that.
	I can't pronounce it.
	I can't come up with it.
	Somebody in the troll room will know.
	But anyway, it's a hazy beer.
	You can't see through it.
	It's not like a clear, like a crystalline clear lager or pills.
	So they get all these hazy beers and now they're using it as a feature, not a bug.
	Hefeweizen.
	And they're selling this beer.
	Hefeweizen.
	Heffenweissen.
	They're selling this hazy beer now as though it's okay.
	It's like, it's not okay, but okay.
	Isn't that like a Belgian wit beer?
	Yeah, I think so.
	They're hazy.
	I kind of like those.
	That's all right.
	I like the Hoogarden.
	Yeah, it's fine, but Pilsner, IPA. Okay, let's go back.
	That's fine.
	It's a beer that is designed that way.
	It's been that way for hundreds of years.
	An IPA is a clear product.
	It's not supposed to be hazy.
	It's like a hazy pilsner.
	It means it's flawed.
	It's john at dvorak.org because I do not want to be forwarding all of the emails from the beer lovers who are going to go, Dvorak's wrong!
	And all they do is they email me.
	Yo, Dvorak's wrong.
	You've got to set him straight on beer.
	No, please email john at dvorak.org.
	Okay, so now we'll go with please give me a de-douching.
	He wants some hazy...
	Okay, let me see.
	I request Houston hazy defective IPA and spicy dry rubbed chicken wings at the round table.
	Please give me a de-douching and house buying karma.
	Thank you.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got karma.
	Let me just put his correct order in.
	So it's the Hayes IPA. Okay.
	Boy, the more you learn on this show, You don't learn about prejudices.
	Christopher Sevigny, I would say.
	Sevigny?
	Sevigny.
	Sevigny.
	He's from Scandinavia.
	333.69 in the morning.
	With this donation, I'm looking to be knighted Sir Seven of the Insert Coin.
	Here's to three more comedic years of prostitutes quiet when Grandpa Dracula snaps at them.
	Love and loot.
	J and K. Oh, my God.
	Oh, okay.
	Jingles and Karma.
	I got ants.
	We're all gonna die.
	And there's some jokes.
	I got ants.
	I got ants.
	We're all gonna die.
	Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs. Jobs.
	Jobs.
	You've got karma.
	I love it.
	It's too funny.
	SirFlyNot checks in with 333.50.
	Gentlemen, congrats on a string of great episodes.
	Adam, welcome to Spicewood.
	Not in Spicewood.
	Please shout out my son, Fly Knot Jr., for completing his Eagle Scout project.
	Only a few badges remain for him.
	Well, let us know when he gets Eagle Scouted.
	That's a big deal.
	Eagle Scout is not easy to achieve.
	May I request an annual D-Douching, Goat Karma, and R2-D2? Yes, you may.
	In episode 1359, you played a clip from Rachel Elnaw.
	When she was on the James Dellingpole podcast, I recommend him to others, and he had great guests yesterday.
	Okay, so he's saying you should listen to that, and he even attached some clips for us to listen to.
	So yes, the Dellingpod from James Dellingpole is dynamite.
	I love listening to that a lot, and here's your request.
	You've been de-douched.
	You've got...
	Kind of weird mixing the goat and R2-D2 karma, but okay.
	There you go.
	Onward, Sir Malinowski.
	And he is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
	And he writes, And I had an epiphany.
	I think it's mentally healthy to seek out and voluntarily listen to opinions that may run counter to your own.
	Absolutely.
	I do that by listening to left-wing talk shows nowadays.
	I watch MSNBC and CNN. It's hard, but yeah.
	So I'm listening to this...
	What's this one guy talking about?
	I have to think about it.
	but it's probably for later in the show.
	People that listen to No Agenda and other fine alternative media outlets have a broader view of the world, can see multiple facets of an issue, see the manipulation of the narrative, and compassionately understand how other people may feel so strongly and sometimes incorrectly about something that is often objectively false.
	We get all sides of the picture, so we aren't radicalized.
	This is an epiphany.
	So we aren't radicalized like people that consume only one source of information.
	It's like eating processed food only versus having a diverse diet of all kinds of different foods.
	Keep doing what you're doing, no jingles, just a love one another karma, whatever that looks like, with or without our beloved GOAT. ITM to all producers.
	Alright, Sir Malinowski, I have one just for you.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Fourth of July Karma!
	Where we all love one another.
	Yes.
	Jamie Booth.
	I got it.
	Jamie Booth from Charlottesville, Virginia, 333.
	Thank you for the executive producer donation.
	Did I miss something?
	No, I just saw the page one.
	Luckily, you're reading this.
	I'm going to go get it, which is on the other desk.
	So long overdue with this donation.
	Living in Charlottesville, Virginia, and while it's not as bad as Austin, it's still bad enough to make me sad that this is even the same state I grew up in.
	Barely hanging on here after being kicked out of two bands over politics slash Facebook posts.
	Well, the band had no future if that's the kind of stuff that happened within the band.
	I found no agenda through an old YouTube page called Conspiracy Scope back in early 2016.
	The guy who ran the channel used to post a bit of everything politics crackpot stuff related.
	He apparently passed away a while back.
	I regret not getting to thank him for pointing me here like I'm thanking you right now.
	Been planning this donation for a while now to coincide with my first meetup as well.
	It will be at the Lazy Parrot in Charlottesville on July 17th from 1 to 5 p.m.
	Fantastic.
	I wouldn't put an end time on it.
	Things seem to go very, very long.
	But you can leave after 5, I'm sure.
	Jingles.
	Is anyone going to eat this meatloaf?
	Anyone going to eat this meatloaf?
	Tastes like poop, which is I love bugs.
	And get out of my vagina and the goats scream, I have the trifecta for you.
	Anyone going to eat this meatloaf?
	I love bugs!
	Bugs, bugs, bugs!
	Mmm.
	Tastes like poop.
	Get out of my vagina!
	Get out of my vagina!
	I wonder what instrument he plays.
	Oh.
	I don't know.
	He didn't mention, did he?
	No.
	Hmm.
	You know, we could put a band together.
	Oh, hell yeah.
	Yeah.
	Everyone plays everything.
	Abel Kirby, you know who does a lot of our jingles?
	He's got a whole band that he's...
	They're recording an album.
	They're going to do it, you know, on podcasting 2.0.
	It's like a whole bunch of stuff going on there.
	Yeah, we have tons of musicians.
	By the way, heavy correlation between dudes named Ben, software programmers, and musicians.
	Yes, they're all nerdy.
	Especially bassists and drummers seem to do well with technology.
	A lot of nerds.
	They're nerds.
	Nerds are talents.
	Talented people.
	Nerds doesn't...
	The definition of nerds does not preclude talent.
	But a nerd is...
	I know.
	I know what you're saying.
	I said the same thing.
	I got into beefs about this and I'd given up.
	Surveyor of the Realm, 32171.
	He's from Scandinavia as well, so I don't know if that's his...
	Oh, that is.
	It's a Happy Canada Day donation.
	There you go.
	In the morning, Happy Canada Day.
	Here's money.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Surveyor of the Realm.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	Appreciate it.
	So Matthew Anderson from Wex Roxbury, Massachusetts, comes in with $300.
	He's our last executive producer.
	He wrote a note, a card, actually.
	It's a card.
	Cute little card.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	He says, my printer is still broken.
	Enclosed is my donation along with my gratitude for a great show.
	You've always complimented my penmanship.
	Boy, those days are over.
	For while I cannot take credit, which is why I sent you a...
	A Noodle Flex Tip Fountain Pen.
	Oh!
	He sent a Noodle Flex...
	It says Noodle Flex Tip Fountain Pen back in February.
	Ah!
	I wonder who sent that pen.
	Thank you for that pen.
	Is it a good pen?
	We like pens here.
	It's a nice pen.
	If you like fountain pens.
	Oh, so it's an actual...
	With the ink cartridge and everything?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's got the ink sucker.
	Oh, and a nub.
	Yeah.
	You gotta train the nub.
	Yeah, supposedly.
	I don't know if that's true.
	That used to be true in like the 1910s.
	I just like saying nub.
	You like saying nub.
	Yeah, I like saying train the nub.
	Back in the February is a pin, not me, stay cool, $300, Matthew.
	Okay.
	Outstanding.
	Thank you very much.
	Danielle and Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons, 23456, from Weed, California.
	Is there such a place?
	Oh, yeah.
	You got the mug from Weed.
	Are you kidding me?
	Oh, that didn't know.
	It's a real place.
	Nice.
	Emergency karma, please, for Northern California, especially Weed and Mount Shasta, and recalibrate the rain sticks.
	We've got fire, not rain.
	Thank you, Danielle and Sir Jeff of the Five Seasons.
	I'd say, hold on for one more day.
	Rain is a-coming.
	You've got karma.
	The rain sticks have never failed us.
	And we've gotten all the back end of it, so something's gotta happen.
	Something's gotta happen.
	Uh, Tim Faust, uh, 23456.
	I can't find a note from him.
	I just looked.
	I don't have one either.
	No, I looked too.
	Anonymous in Cleveland, Ohio 22222.
	My friend Travis hit me in the mouth.
	I need a de-douching.
	He is still a douchebag.
	You've been de-douched.
	And here's Travis.
	Oops, here's Travis.
	Douchebag.
	I heard Adam on the Tom Woods, but never made the connection.
	Tom Woods Donation.
	I will be adding my associate producership to my professional profile.
	Love and lit.
	Karma jingle, please.
	I just have to say, that was one of the most professional things we've done.
	Completely unrehearsed, with an almost half-second delay each way, I throw in something John has no idea what's coming, and he waits it out perfectly.
	Dynamite.
	You've got karma.
	Tight, baby.
	Tight.
	Yeah, the pros from Dover.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Joan Pulse.
	In Hernando Beach, Florida, 21630.
	She says, or I think, Hi guys and greetings from the Saltwater Slaves.
	Our first meetup last week was a huge success.
	30 patriots came and the next one will be 731, another meetup.
	Grant me belated birthday karma as Joan 30th was a big one.
	It's Joan 30th was a big one, is what it says.
	And I'd like a biscuit for my birthday.
	Thanks, Joan.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	You've got karma.
	Taylor Soup.
	Sop.
	Soap.
	S-O-P-P-E. Two and three.
	Lake Tapos, Washington.
	I don't even know where that is.
	De-douche me, please.
	You've been de-douched.
	I'm about to marry my smoking hot fiancé who introduced me to the show.
	You guys have really opened my eyes and man has faced...
	And man has facing my condition...
	Oh, and man...
	Let me get this right.
	And man has facing my conditioning been a painful process, but I'm so grateful for the show.
	Here's to truth!
	Oh, nice.
	And we're going to give you a goat karma just for that.
	We've got...
	One more for me.
	Stephen Morris in Perth.
	Perth.
	But not Perth.
	Yes, Perth.
	Western Australia.
	Australia.
	2088.
	I have sent a war and peace email note to Adam from something at stephenmorris.org.
	Check your junk mail folder, please.
	Yes, indeed.
	And it's kind of important because...
	Hold on a second.
	Let me just stick this in here.
	Ah!
	That's what she said.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	It is with sadness, he writes, that I must report a case of night name and...
	Night name infringement.
	So pay attention, peerage committee.
	Well, before you even start reading that letter, I will note that night names can be duplicated.
	There's plenty of Sir Jims and Sir Jacks and all the rest of it.
	It's only baronies and dukedoms and places like that where you can't cross over.
	Well, let me read you his full note because it's a tough one.
	Imagine my surprise when another Sir Curity was knighted several shows ago.
	I'm sure he's a fellow porch scanner named Ben in the industry and on the cybersecurity gravy train, so I won't challenge him to a duel just yet.
	I took it as a swift hit in the mouth and reminder to donate to the best podcast in the universe.
	It made me think that I can't remember of another case of overlapping night-name puns and wondered if there's some register of all the no-agenda noblemen and women and zimzers somewhere on the internets.
	No, there isn't.
	And I would say you're on the right path.
	The best way to resolve the conflict is to become barren, Sir Curity.
	That is the way out.
	Yeah, that's one way out, but we're not doing this.
	There's plenty of, by the way, circumference.
	There's a number.
	I think there's at least two of those.
	And there's a number of pun, duplicated pun name nights around.
	But there's also a lot of just simple night names that are duplicated.
	Again, you can have more than one night with the same name.
	It's the areas and other things that are a little more exclusive.
	He continues, I'm a Brit in Western Australia and we are beginning another three-day mask mandate outside an insight due to, wait for it, one new case!
	I'm just happy to have left lockdown London as we have mostly escaped the COVID madness here in Western Australia.
	Okay, so don't get too complacent.
	It's coming.
	Watching Australia right now is almost like a time lapse of what we've witnessed in the past year here in the Northern Hemisphere.
	They are not going to let you off that easy.
	And as it pertains to the UK... Rumors abound that they're going to do a full-on lockdown for another four weeks as of July 15th.
	As of July 15th, there's like memos circulating and stuff.
	And he sent some clips of his kid.
	I presume this is Nathan.
	Don't sniff me, Jerry Biden!
	I kind of liked it.
	Don't sniff me, Joe Biden.
	Don't sniff me, Joe Biden.
	Aw, so cute.
	Cute.
	Yeah, very cute.
	I like the don't sniff me.
	I'm going to give him a little goat karma there for that note.
	You've got karma.
	Thank you very much.
	Onward with Varel Kirkpatrick in Boise, Boise, Boise, Idaho, 20574.
	My awesome wife, Becca, and I love your show.
	My donation is for my 15th, 16th year wedding anniversary gift to my wife to recognize her as associate executive producer.
	Oh, okay.
	Switcheroo.
	Switcheroo.
	Becca.
	Yep.
	Becca, Becca.
	Give her that and get her de-douched.
	You've been de-douched.
	We got married on July the 4th, a memorable day.
	That's a good idea.
	On July 4th, 2005, and for the last 14 years, she has kept the household together with all the moves that come with me.
	Is that 14 years?
	No, 16.
	He says, okay, well, I'll deal with that later.
	With all the moves that come with me serving in, oh, the U.S. Air Force, good for you.
	2023 should be our last move, and with that, oh, they have to move around a lot.
	And with that, I'd like to give her a Pelosi jobs karma to help her find a job she'll be happy with.
	Also, please play her favorite jingle, Osama, no, no, no, no, mariachi.
	Obama.
	You said Osama.
	Wow.
	I did say Osama.
	Wow, gaff.
	Well, I know, but doesn't this remind us of the gaffe you used to make with Osama Obama?
	They would always say Obama.
	Absolutely.
	Ten years ago?
	Oh, my goodness.
	I wonder if we still have these.
	Osama.
	Osama, Osama.
	I said Osama.
	Thank you for all you do and making this wedding anniversary a special one.
	Well, it's great.
	It's actually coming up on Sunday.
	And let me see.
	I've got this for you.
	Okay.
	You know what?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	Hey!
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	You've got karma.
	Yeah, I enjoy that wedding anniversary.
	I really have a couple more left.
	Yes.
	You do Kara.
	Well, you're not going to be able to stretch that too long, but I'm going to see if we can have a note from Nicholas Ray at $200 because I don't want to see it on here.
	All right.
	You look and I'll do Kara.
	Oh, that's the last one, coincidentally.
	In the morning, no agenda nation, as Kara checks in with $200, precisely right for an associate executive producership.
	In the morning, no agenda nation, Alex, you are a douchebag.
	And then the douchebag.
	Douchebag!
	No jingles, no karma.
	Oh, no jingles, just karma.
	I like goats, love, and lits from Kara.
	We got your goat right here.
	Enjoy.
	You've got...
	And Nick Gray is last on the list.
	He writes, I made a $201 donation with no note attached, so hoping this makes it to you for the Thursday 7-1-21 show.
	Curiously, it does have donation in the subject line, and I didn't get to Eric.
	I've been listening since, and I don't remember seeing it, so I must have screwed up, since the 33 cases show last year.
	I stumbled across the MoFax first and then picked up No Agenda.
	Ah!
	MoFax donation!
	And then picked up No Agenda shortly after.
	Both shows are excellent.
	This is my first donation, so please de-douche me.
	Yep, got it.
	Man, my jingle thing is busted again.
	You've been de-douched.
	I am using the mouse.
	Side note.
	I work for a large wealth manager who has been in the news for their vaccine policy.
	I think what's missing from the recent articles is the fact that employees can simply opt for attesting to a negative test in the past 20, 72 hours as an alternative to being vaccinated.
	I mentioned this as Adam has been speaking about the fine print on the European vaccine passport language, which allows for a negative test as well.
	My two cents is they hope people don't look into the alternative and they panic and run out for the jab.
	Sorry for the long note and keep up all the great work.
	Thanks, Nick.
	All right, Nick.
	Thank you, Nick.
	I do have two extra things.
	One, thank you all so much for helping me find the jingle, the Master of the House jingle that was requested many, many shows ago.
	It was mislabeled.
	Surprise, surprise.
	I've relabeled it, and here it is.
	TheFullRock.org slash N.A. Donate enough to be a knight someday.
	Boom.
	Love it.
	Gotta play that more often.
	And then one from way down on the list.
	In the morning, Podfather says, I donated $12.34 to deduce the six monks who listen to the show.
	Six monks.
	If you'd be so kind, please play the attached monk karma, which was provided by producer Ryan Hunter.
	Love is lit.
	This is from Gummy Nerds, Viscount of the Troll Room.
	So first, the de-douching for the six monks who listen to the show.
	You've been de-douched.
	And the attached monk karma.
	You've got karma.
	I'll take it.
	Odd.
	I want to thank, these are executive, associate executive producers for show 1360 as we march towards show 1400.
	Show 1400, well, the next show, 1361, will be July 4th, and that will be the 5,000 days of no agenda since starting of the show, if I'm correct.
	Well, we definitely have to do a...
	I have to remember to put that into the newsletter as a reminder.
	5,000 days...
	What would be an appropriate donation that celebrates 5,000 shows?
	5,000 Satoshis?
	$5,000, 5,000 dimes, or 5,000 pennies?
	I'll take it all.
	It's all good, as long as we can bring the deconstruction for you.
	That is how it works here at the Value for Value model.
	If there's anything that you got from this podcast, any kind of value, turn that into a number.
	Send that back to us.
	I'm sorry?
	5,000 days of the show?
	Is that what it is?
	5,000 days, yes.
	I believe 5,000 days of no agenda.
	Make the number meaningful to you.
	That's how it works.
	It is something within our DNA. You receive something valuable.
	You want to give back.
	You can do it in multiple ways.
	Time, talent, treasure.
	If you'd like to find out more about helping us for our Sunday show, for our 4th of July show, mind you, we will be working on the 4th of July.
	Go to...
	Once again, thank you for your time, your talent, and your treasure for producing No Agenda.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	What?
	Order.
	Shut up, slave.
	Shut up, slave.
	I want to play a couple of clips about the election.
	Oh, the one in New York?
	No, no, that too.
	Because I love that story.
	It's a great story.
	I have a clip for that too from Amy.
	It's pretty funny the way she presents it.
	Good, good, good.
	But no, this is the guy I heard during the last Trump rally.
	They didn't put it on the...
	It's not on C-SPAN. You had to follow it to get the stream going.
	It's Dr.
	Frank guy.
	Oh, yeah.
	Dr.
	Frank has some really...
	He clarifies a number of points in this.
	I have three clips from him.
	He's a big fan that the election was rigged, and he has lots of documentation that kind of show it, but nobody cares.
	What is the background of Dr.
	Frank?
	What is his...
	Oh, you know...
	Is he an actual medical doctor, or...?
	He's a mathematician.
	Okay.
	And he's one of the...
	I know the type of person that he is.
	He's one of these guys who looks at numbers and sees things that he shouldn't see.
	Or he sees things that you can't see, I can't see.
	He can see them really easily.
	And he's funny to listen to when he gives his little speech because he realizes that the whole election was based on some limitations of Microsoft Excel.
	And he can prove it.
	He is a psychiatrist.
	Oh, he's a psychiatrist.
	Oh, he's a numbers nut.
	Okay.
	He's a numbers nut, and he's one of those, he's a hobbyist, I guess.
	But he does clarify a few things as why this, you know, everyone's all bent out of shape about Trump losing, and why nobody did anything about it, if it was rigged or not rigged.
	The big lie!
	The big lie.
	And they just lie about the whole mechanism.
	And he explains a number of things here.
	I thought were very insightful.
	And I'd like to play these because there's one element here that is necessary to understand.
	I originally started my work working in Pennsylvania District 4 for one particular candidate that didn't understand their outcome.
	And at the time, we were preparing lawsuits and we were working with the state legislature to expose the corruption.
	And I didn't really even understand at that point in time that it was all around the United States.
	It was just that one place.
	So we worked pretty hard on that.
	But after a while, I became disillusioned with the Pennsylvania state legislature because they weren't taking action and they had no interest in pursuing and exploring the corruption that had taken place in their election, even though they believed all the evidence we showed them and agreed and threw out their entire state database and hired a new company to build a new one.
	And this is the problem with all of these audits.
	There is actual evidence popping up.
	Yeah, there's plenty of evidence.
	It shows it was a bit of a problem.
	But these guys are too lazy to do anything about it.
	They don't want to do anything about it.
	But then he brings in another point of information that I think explains a lot of this.
	And it's something you just have to kind of live with.
	Although Trump is unfortunately still...
	He spends a little too much time on his speeches...
	Pounding this when he probably should back off, but let's listen to this part.
	So it's like there was no question of the evidence, but their behavior is where it was disappointing to me.
	I was expecting them to stand up and say, attention, everybody.
	Our election was corrupted.
	We got to do it.
	We got to do a do-over.
	But we were also preparing lawsuits, and some of those lawsuits were going to the Supreme Court.
	And if you remember, the Supreme Court did not take them.
	There were four.
	So I became disillusioned with the, or disappointed with the state legislature, and then I became disappointed with the Supreme Court, and not just the Supreme Court, all the state courts and federal courts.
	None of them would take the cases.
	So you'd repeatedly hear people say, oh, well, they say all this evidence, but it was debunked in court.
	No, it never made it to court.
	The judges wouldn't take the evidence, wouldn't bring it into court.
	The judges wouldn't even take the cases.
	Richard is probably more qualified to discuss this than me, but there's a principle known as the political question doctrine.
	And it works like this.
	Let's say you, Pastor Andrew, you vote twice.
	So I take you to court and I say to the judge, here's the evidence that Andrew Womack voted twice.
	And then the judge will evaluate the evidence and they'll either convict you or acquit you.
	And that's a case they will take.
	But if I go to the court and I say, you know, this person lost their election because the whole election process in your state is corrupt, the court will not take that case.
	It's called the political question doctrine.
	The court will say, no, that's not...
	Our jurisdiction.
	That's a legislative problem.
	The legislature has to fix that.
	And so that's why the courts aren't taking a lot of those cases.
	And then the Supreme Court wouldn't take some of the cases like when Texas sued because it didn't have standing.
	So there are all these reasons why our information and our evidence isn't making it into court.
	Wow.
	Do I dance in the end zone now or do I wait?
	We covered this exactly.
	I know, but we didn't know about the political doctrine.
	I never heard of it.
	No.
	And all we knew was make the observation, well, look at this, what's going on, but I saw people, you know, thinking that something was going to happen.
	I was always of the opinion that, no, if these states say, yeah, the election is valid, and they say, they rubber stamp it, no matter how corrupt it is underneath, it's good to go.
	I agree with that.
	Done is done.
	And that's what happened.
	But there was all this going on.
	And that's why I think there's all these legislatures are making these changes, even though the Democrats are all bent out of shape about it, about all these changes that they're trying to make in all these states to tighten things up.
	Because the Democrats knew this thing was a scam.
	And they don't want to change it.
	Let's just send out ballots to everybody.
	Two comments.
	And I find it so incredibly disingenuous on the part of the Democrats who just...
	They're just sticking their heads in the sand about this problem because it is a serious problem.
	It's not for them since they are the ones doing the rigging.
	Anyway, he does a little follow-up.
	Can I just make two comments about this clip?
	One...
	The appropriate response to this clip, had I played it, you would have said, oh yeah, thousands of sealed indictments.
	And two, this guy sounds like Matt Taibbi.
	Oh, I never picked up on that.
	Totally.
	I'm thinking a milieu thing.
	Oh, that's interesting.
	Well, play the last part and I'll listen for Taibbi.
	Step one is, no, the legislatures aren't stepping up and facing the corruption.
	Step two is, the courts aren't taking it.
	What are we left with?
	We're left with we the people.
	We have to remember that we are the government, and we've seemed to have forgotten and relegated being the government to some other people.
	No, we have to own up.
	And so one of my favorite sayings that I learned in 2020 was, politicians don't start parades, they join them.
	So, we, as a people, have to reclaim our government.
	We have to bring all this evidence to light.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, good luck.
	Now, I... Yep.
	You hear Taibbi?
	Yeah, I do.
	Interesting, isn't it?
	Good catch.
	Uh...
	I don't know what milieu that could possibly be, but you might be right.
	There may be something going on or maybe a regional accident that he's displaying, even though I'm not sure where Tybee's from or where this guy's from.
	Alright, so let's play just with that.
	I just wanted to get that out of the way.
	Are we still on this election thing, on the voting?
	I just want to mention the New York mayoral race.
	That's where we're headed, because I have the Amy clip.
	So let's play that.
	Okay, here we go.
	Got it.
	The New York City mayor's race was thrown into disarray Tuesday evening after the elections board released an updated vote count for the Democratic primary, then hours later removed the new figures from its website saying there was a discrepancy.
	Yesterday's new vote count had put front-runner Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams just over two percent ahead of former sanitation commissioner Catherine Garcia.
	The board later explained it accidentally counted 135,000 test ballots in its latest tally.
	This is the first time ranked choice voting is being used in citywide elections in New York.
	The city is expected to release updated results today.
	124,000 absentee ballots also have yet to be added to the final result, which is expected in mid-July.
	I love this.
	And there's an update this morning.
	So first they said, oh, I'm sorry, it was 135,000 test ballots, which is highly unlikely.
	What's a test ballot?
	It's bullshit.
	It's bullshit is what it is.
	And then, oh, we've eliminated those, but the lead has gone, his lead has now narrowed from 16,000 before they removed the bogus test ballots to now 14,000 because they've counted some more stuff.
	And they still won't have the results for another five days.
	This is...
	I mean...
	Please tell me everyone sees that this is completely corrupt.
	And the whole...
	This whole ranked choice voting is intended to put mediocre people in office.
	If we did ranked choice voting...
	In the general election, Elizabeth Warren would be our president right now.
	I'm convinced of it.
	You might be right about that.
	It's stupid again because you get mediocre people.
	And just looking at some of the reporting, many Democrats would leave off Eric Adams.
	Well, it's all Democrats, of course.
	They would leave off Eric Adams, the still frontrunner.
	Completely.
	Completely.
	And then have like Andrew Yang as number one and have the number two choice be who they really want.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And so then, I mean, the way I understand it is you have to rank them all, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, how many they are.
	The person who's at the bottom, their votes then get redistributed to everybody except the number one.
	You know, we had a number of people write us, because I had a simplistic explanation for it.
	This is what democracy looks like.
	This is what democracy looks like.
	So the guy had this other explanation.
	I've heard explanations before, and now that I think about it, I'm not absolutely sure how it works.
	But it doesn't work well, and it's an interesting...
	And the idea was that this guy did explain this in the note.
	He says it's designed to prevent runoffs because runoffs are expensive.
	Yeah.
	And so it assumes that there's going to be a runoff and then that's when the ranked choice comes into play and then the runoffs are automatically, they take place in some, you're doing the runoff voting when you're doing the initial voting.
	Do you not want this black alderman, this black ex-cop to be the mayor?
	Yeah, Eric Adams.
	Eric Adams.
	They do not want this guy to be the mayor of Russia.
	He's not the chosen one.
	No, he's not the chosen one.
	No, he's not the chosen one.
	It's the ugly white woman who's supposed to win.
	The ugly white woman, and if she doesn't get it, they'd rather give it to the socialist gal.
	Yeah, anyone but the ex-cop black guy who wants to, I don't know, refund the police.
	Bad idea.
	Bad for New York.
	Yeah, they're going to railroad him out of office.
	I don't even think he's going to win.
	I don't think they'll let him win.
	They won't let him win.
	You watch.
	Yeah, I'm getting the impression they're not going to let him win.
	One man, one vote.
	I'm sorry, one man, five votes.
	The whole thing is...
	I don't know.
	They're trying to get us used to it, but they screwed up the previous election, which was a runoff.
	Was that the congressional or senatorial congressional, I guess?
	I don't know.
	It's a fiasco.
	They keep blowing it.
	Well, they do a crappy job of it.
	You know, doing corruption well is not that easy.
	It takes skill, people.
	Get some skill.
	Yeah, and they got no skills.
	They're dumb.
	If you're going to corrupt, do it right.
	I got a number of emails from our millennial producers regarding several things we've discussed, and I'd like to talk about them real quick.
	One.
	This is from Zach.
	Your discussion on the show about millennials having a thing for spitting at each other made me think of this.
	In an earlier NBA playoff game, a Knicks fan spit on Trey Young.
	That's true.
	As a millennial, I can't say I've ever seen it in person, but I know usually what will happen is two people exchange heated words, then one person spits, and then they start flailing at each other.
	No, no.
	The first person spits, the other one spits back, and then they start flailing at each other.
	I just want to understand if it's something that's been around for a long time, or if it's new.
	I don't think that was completely conclusive.
	We've never...
	I don't recall spitting as a thing.
	Yeah.
	I do have some...
	There is an interesting millennial...
	It comes from a number of different things I've noticed, is that millennials, besides being nihilists, they really do not like, we've talked about this a little bit on the show, they do not like the success of their fellows.
	I have a whole note about that.
	You're going to read the note I was going to read.
	Okay, go.
	No, I'm not going to read any note.
	I don't know what you're talking about.
	You were copied on this email, on this literal email.
	Oh, I didn't see the note.
	I didn't see the note.
	What I'm going to relate is this being visibly portrayed in the latest season of The Kaminsky Method.
	Ah, yes.
	On episode three...
	One of the girls in the acting class gets a job in a drama, in a TV. In a series.
	Procedural.
	And she gets this job and now nobody will talk to her.
	They won't invite her to anything and just a hater gets now.
	She goes and bitches to the Michael Douglas character about this and he just thinks it's silly.
	That's not true.
	They should be happy for you because you got this job.
	She says, you don't know what it's like.
	She says, you're wrong.
	I have to quit the class.
	She says, that's nonsense.
	And so then he goes, it's a very good episode, he goes and talks to the class about her and how they should act and how they should congratulate her.
	And all the group is gathered and he's lecturing them about how it should be because he's a New York versus a West Coast and he's, they're trying to make it seem as though it's a West Coast thing.
	It may not be or may be.
	And as he leaves, feeling very happy that he fixed everything, they all look at each other and say, what's he talking about?
	We hate her!
	And it was just kind of the way it ended.
	And I started thinking about this, and I think I'm noticing this.
	And of course, J.C. brought this up, and we talked about it on the show maybe two or three years ago.
	No, we talked about this a week and a half ago.
	This exact story about the Kaminsky Method.
	We talked about this episode.
	Well, I don't remember talking about it.
	Yeah, that's why I have a response to it, because you're right.
	And we have Millennial Kate from Chicago.
	She's written in before.
	She's 24.
	And she responds to this very thing that you brought up about the Kaminsky Method and this success.
	And here it is.
	I graduated from a large university but a very small program of about 30 or so kids.
	I got a design degree in a very small and competitive field.
	No one in my class was motivated whatsoever and the professors had basically given up on the students long before we got there.
	I was the first person in my class to find a job and exactly to John's point, classmates were pissed!
	This is an extreme problem among people my age.
	I'm 24.
	To make constant comparisons of yourself to others to the point where it seems people become paralyzed to try and achieve anything real at all.
	This is due largely in part to social media and the constant conscious slash subconscious comparisons you make all day long as you stare blankly into your phone for hours on end.
	Over-socialization is a big part of this.
	People feel the need to constantly keep up a shallow appearance and praise the things they see that are acceptable by the woke culture but not actually things that make any sort of real impact or make you think for yourself.
	I also think the sheer addiction to social media, as well as the excess and indulgence in entertainment with streaming, etc., has caused a lot of people my age to become generally unmotivated.
	I don't meet many people my age that have interests outside of playing on their phone, so there's not even anything to be achieved in their mind at all.
	There's a lot of jealousy in general among my peers and I think it has to do with the fact that social media can trick you to make you feel like you're doing something or contributing somehow but when you see someone actually doing something in real life you realize for a moment that you're not doing anything at all.
	I don't think they notice the time that slips away every time you open up TikTok for two hours.
	I recently have been pursuing a lot of creative hobbies and started to make a bit of side money from it.
	It's been very fun and fulfilling for a change.
	But just like getting a job or doing anything at all, it seems to really bother people.
	It's gotten so bad with the zombie-like addiction to social media and consuming content.
	I only refer to people in their mid-20s.
	I can't even imagine what younger people are like.
	And yes, I think that this is a big part of it.
	Well, I've got more stories.
	Okay.
	I'm sorry about reiterating the Kaminsky method, but it did trigger what I'm trying to remember, and I finally got it.
	And I will mention that you actually, again, it'll go back 10 years on this show.
	Holy crap.
	Used to rant about selfies and how they have affected people's mentalities.
	And I think there's some element of that in this whole thing, where you had to get the perfect selfie.
	You had a whole shtick that you used to do about it.
	It was very entertaining.
	So, now, you notice we haven't had any dropouts on today's show.
	Yes, this is because I've moved, and obviously it was always my fault.
	No.
	No?
	It was China's fault.
	Oh, do tell.
	So I had the Sonic guy over a couple days ago.
	Oh, he came to the house.
	Because they were going to switch out the device that brings the fiber.
	The fiber to the Ethernet converter thingy.
	Yeah, it's a little bitty device.
	And it was sending error messages back and it was cutting us off every so often.
	I mean, we're getting cut off on both sides always, but this was an issue and I knew it was.
	They came over and it turned out that it wasn't this at all.
	And he went to the wire.
	This guy was thorough.
	He went all over the place and found a small plastic connector, China made.
	That was just like a splicer connector for the optical cable.
	It was defective.
	Just a little piece of plastic, probably.
	Well, it had something going on inside.
	But whatever it was, it was defective and it was causing intermittent breaks, especially when the weather got hot.
	You know what?
	Before we left, like two weeks ago, we had the cable.
	All of a sudden, it would be fine in the morning.
	The cable TV, the Internet was okay.
	It would be okay in the morning, and then by the time it was evening, you couldn't.
	Interestingly, the Fox stations didn't work, so Fox Business, Fox News.
	I thought that that was coincidental, but the guy came by, and he said, oh, no.
	So there's some crappy cable.
	He didn't say Chinese.
	But during the day when it gets hot, then the cable expands, and then by the time you're at the end of the day and you want to watch, you know, you're 100-plus degrees, the cable is so expanded it screws it up.
	Thank you.
	That doesn't surprise me.
	Yeah.
	So I'm talking to this guy.
	And so he says, yeah, we got, you know, we're trying to expand.
	Yeah, I'm talking about Sonic and their network.
	Trying to expand, but we can't hire anybody.
	We can't hire enough people to be the techs.
	Yeah, I know.
	And I said, well, a lot of it has to do, I think, I'll bet you there's a lot has to do with the millennials and the work ethic.
	The work ethic is terrible amongst these people.
	Yes.
	I brought this up with my daughter, and she's like, I have a lot of jobs, and I said, you know, one or two people, and the people that listen to our show, I'm sure we have plenty of millennials that know this, and you read that note from one of them.
	And so he told me this, and he says, yeah, he says, they're horrible.
	He says, it's unbelievable.
	They had a guy working at the company who just wouldn't show up.
	And then he'd show up.
	And say, where's my check?
	And then he wouldn't show up.
	No, he didn't.
	That wasn't it.
	He felt, and I... We talked to my daughter about this.
	I felt that I could kind of understand this mentality because there is a noodle boy thing going on here.
	And it went like this.
	And the guy was straight when he was telling me the story.
	He says, the guy, this is what he's thinking.
	Look, I didn't come into work today, but what difference does it make?
	You're not paying me when I'm not there.
	This is great.
	That's it.
	That was it.
	I'm not there.
	You're not paying me.
	So what difference does it make?
	That's an interesting way of looking at it.
	I can, from some perspective, I can honestly say that I understand it.
	But it's really bad.
	And my daughter's comment to that was, that's not what jobs are all about.
	It's not everything's piecework.
	It may have to do with the inclusion of the so-called gig economy where all jobs are gig jobs.
	Right, right, right.
	Or some mentality that's been put...
	This is the schooling.
	Well, hold on a second.
	That's a good point.
	Because certainly from the Democratic Party of the United States, it has always been about...
	15 bucks an hour, 15 bucks an hour, 15 bucks an hour.
	Gone are the days of, hey, I make 50 grand a year doing this great job.
	And I think there's an interesting perspective here that this generation has been raised on gig economy and hourly wages instead of a career working for a company or working in a company.
	We're starting a company as an entrepreneur and not thinking of everything as a per-hour wage.
	That could be.
	I think there's an element to that.
	But there's a lot of these things.
	They all tie together.
	A lot of it has to do with the education system, in my opinion.
	All of it, I'm sure.
	All of it.
	Because I can't see parents doing this to kids.
	Because our kids are fairly productive.
	But there is this idea of like, you didn't give me a check.
	You're not paying me when I'm not there, so why do I have to be there?
	I don't get it.
	This is not a good thing for the society.
	And so the combination of this social media thing and the laziness and the jealousy of somebody who doesn't get a job because you've quit the...
	It's not that they're...
	Are they really jealous or are they irked by the fact that you quit the team?
	Huh.
	Because when you quit the team, people get mad at you.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And if the team is a bunch of losers, and you quit the team to go actually get a job...
	Yeah.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Then you're a douche.
	You're the douche.
	You're the douche.
	Well, um...
	That's very interesting.
	So we were at, here in Hill Country, there's a, now what is the name?
	Hill Country, Hill Country, Texas.
	I thought you were in Pflugerville.
	Schlitterbahn.
	Oh, Schlitterbahn.
	Here in Hill Country.
	You're in Deutschland.
	Oh yeah, totally.
	They have a...
	It's kind of like a mini...
	It's called...
	What is it called now?
	Good Grocery or Healthy Grocery.
	It's small.
	It's a small store.
	Imagine you took about 1 20th of a Whole Foods and put it into a little store and made the service personalized...
	Yeah, you just had some of the higher-end products that you can't get at like an HEB and then a lot of supplement-type stuff.
	And so we'd driven by this several times and said, let's go in and take a look.
	And it's a cute little store, you know, that didn't really pick anything up.
	We were chatting with one of the employees because they're all trained to ask, how can I help you?
	Is something you're looking for?
	And we're just chatting, and he says, well, we have a real problem here.
	We have a labor shortage, and we just can't get anyone to work, and our starting salary is $13 an hour, and they do have all kinds of benefits, but people won't do it.
	They refuse to come in.
	Across town, we had breakfast, like a diner.
	And there's a sign on the door, looking for wait staff, $18 an hour plus tips, can't get anybody.
	I mean, typically, waiting on tables is the bare minimum, you know, $3.50 an hour plus tips, $4 an hour plus tips.
	Now it's a base of $18 an hour plus tips.
	I mean, that's unheard of.
	Unheard of.
	It's five times the normal base rate.
	And they just can't get him out.
	But now I get this note from Taylor.
	And I think...
	I don't know if this is a donation somewhere along the line.
	But anyway, he says, I'm a first-time donor.
	My smoking hot fiancé said to send a pic.
	They're a very cute couple.
	And they're young, and so they're early 20s.
	Listening to the show has opened my mind in so many ways.
	Thank you guys for that.
	Only downside is feeling alienated from my friends who are all bought into the mainstream narrative and are unwilling to hear anything that challenges that.
	I'm working up the courage to be fully honest with them about my views, my vaccine status, etc., but I'm scared of losing them.
	When I went to the Tacoma meetup, it gave me hope that there are others out there who I can be real with.
	Thank you guys for being a beacon of truth in a sea of nonsense.
	Taylor.
	Taylor and cute girlfriend.
	Cute couple.
	These can't be your friends if they walk away from you.
	That's their problem, not yours.
	So being scared of losing them?
	Yeah, that's a problem you've got to get over.
	Because you're going to lose, not all, you're going to lose friends for sure.
	Or, you know, acquaintances.
	I can understand how this is very difficult for young people with all the virtues.
	But going to a meet-up clearly helps.
	Yeah, the meet-ups help, I think, in that regard, for sure.
	You can make new friends.
	The meet-ups are...
	I mean, the ones that they do around here, this one group, sir, I can't remember his name, the ham.
	A lot of hams in there kind of drive the women away.
	But except for that...
	Other than that salient detail, the hams are good, yes.
	There's a lot of people you could make a circle of friends, develop a new circle of friends pretty easily in these meetups.
	If you have the same age groups, you have a lot of variant age groups.
	It's a problem.
	I don't know what to say.
	I would advise them just to clam up a little bit.
	Wait it out.
	No, I mean, I disagree.
	Clamming up is not worth it.
	It's not worth it.
	It's a waste of your life.
	If someone doesn't want to talk to you, adult people, adults, we have adult friends.
	They're far from the same culture or political ideology, which we don't really have.
	I certainly don't.
	But, you know, I refuse this vaccine for sure.
	Yeah.
	You know, people who are friends who are vaccinated, the banker, the Democrats vote for Biden.
	We don't go around arguing about that.
	We just move on and talk about other things.
	That didn't happen with your neurological brain cert guy.
	We're in our 50s now.
	I think at a certain point, people get over it.
	But not all of them.
	That's my point.
	Like the artist Frick and the Obama bots and what was his name?
	The professor.
	Gosh, it was the first time Tina and I had ever heard of white privilege.
	You remember that?
	It was five years ago, I think.
	No longer.
	Yeah, five years, five, six years ago.
	And we were having dinner and it's like, well, you both have white privilege.
	I'd never heard of this term.
	And that was from Pendleton, Pendleton...
	The guy who wrote the performative book.
	I was a fan of his book.
	Yeah, you're a big fan of the guy.
	And then we have the other professor, the brain professor.
	I think it was his wife who hated me.
	Oh yeah, she did.
	He had to go along with it.
	Yeah, and they moved out of the area.
	They moved to California to be more comfortable.
	Yes.
	That was funny.
	Where things are beautiful.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Another piece of feedback.
	We played this clip on the last show.
	Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson just speaking with Mad Money's Jim Cramer moments ago, addressing reports from two weeks ago of a cup shortage.
	No shortage of cups, no shortage of coffee.
	Our supply chain in our breakfast sandwiches and some items in the bakery case, you know, they have had to ramp up staffing.
	And so we've had some shortages in the bakery case.
	That certainly is true.
	But you look at what we've done over the last couple of months to really get us in a much better position.
	And you just think about it.
	When you turn this on so rapidly, it really tests the elasticity of the supply chain.
	So we were interested in, was this something with China about the baked goods?
	What's wrong with the bakery?
	Can they not get people to work at the bakery?
	The guys seem to have your story straight, the CEO. And we have some of the best producers in the universe from Anonymous.
	This is from my source as a close relative.
	I wouldn't want to get in any trouble.
	After hearing the report on Starbucks during the last outstanding episode, I went to ask my relative who works there.
	Before I was even done repeating the interview, she was laughing and going, ha ha ha, who is he trying to fool?
	Referring to their CEO. Her store hasn't had issues with the hot cups, but frequently runs out of large-sized cold drink cups and have to upgrade customers to an extra large for free.
	That's a good tip.
	They also switch their free water cups from one to a Starbucks logo to the same clear plastic ones anyone can get at a grocery store.
	There have been times they've run out of straws and sugar packets and had to run to a grocery store to get some.
	They will be getting in paper straws soon, but not out of any environmental thing they've been doing.
	They just can't get plastic straws.
	There are few food products they can't get either.
	For example, there's one flavoring syrup they've been out of for over two months.
	The one thing they have no shortages in?
	Bakery.
	How about that?
	Interesting.
	But then, from Jan Willem, just heard the segment on Starbucks shortages.
	I might have an explanation.
	From the wonderful world of Poffertjes.
	You remember Poffertjes, John?
	No, I don't remember Poffertjes.
	Poffertjes is the little Dutch pancakes.
	They have them on a big griddle, like a rack of 10 by 10.
	I'll be flipping them with a fork real fast.
	They're about the size of a half dollar.
	Okay.
	And you eat it with butter and powdered sugar.
	We've discussed pouferches before, I think, a long time ago.
	Friends of mine have a quite impressive company with food trucks and bike carts selling pouferches door-to-door.
	I've been working there.
	I worked there a couple times.
	Josephine, the founder of JoJo's Pouferches, has been trying to find all ingredients from local suppliers.
	That worked out well, except for one ingredient.
	Flour.
	Flour only available imported from China, at least in the Netherlands at this time being.
	I didn't know China was a big exporter of flour.
	I didn't either, and I'm sure they're trans-exporters.
	In other words, they get the flour from, or they get the wheat from us.
	Yeah.
	And then they make flour and sell it.
	And then they process it.
	Yeah, they're processors.
	I'm guessing.
	I don't know that there's huge wheat fields.
	Nothing like the United States.
	We're huge wheat makers, growers.
	We grow all kinds of different kinds of wheat nowadays.
	I've got to know, maybe the EU has a policy of sending wheat to the...
	Do they even grow wheat?
	Do they grow wheat in the European Union?
	I guess.
	I don't know.
	We need to know.
	No, they do.
	They grow a lot of wheat in Europe.
	Yeah.
	Of course they do.
	And Russia does it.
	So they send it off to China for processing and then we get it right back?
	I don't know.
	Maybe.
	I have no idea.
	There's something else that's going on.
	I have a clip.
	Ooh.
	Okay.
	This is the Italy versus China clip.
	This is, again, from the New Tang Dynasty.
	New Tang Clan.
	Italy is taking a step back to re-examine its relationship with China.
	Italy is the only G7 member that's part of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative.
	And its relationship with Beijing has been concerning the U.S. On Monday, the Italian foreign minister said that his country's relations with the U.S. are more important than with China.
	He was at a news conference with U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
	He said, And earlier this month, after the G7 summit, the Italian Prime Minister said that Italy will scrutinize Beijing's Belt and Road initiative.
	He criticized Beijing as an authoritarian regime and said it does not respect rules.
	And not only that, according to Reuters, the Prime Minister also expressed his concerns over Chinese vaccines last Friday.
	He said the Chinese vaccine has shown itself not to be adequate.
	You can see that from Chile's experience of tackling the epidemic.
	I don't know anything about Chile, but I guess they used the Chinese vaccine.
	I guess they got the Chinese vaccine, yeah.
	And they don't work.
	Well, Italy is pissed.
	Italy is pissed at China, just what I'm hearing from Willow.
	You know, kind of this idea of, you know, we brought in the Belt and Road, we're going to do the big 5G push, and then you came in and gave us COVID, you bastards.
	You killed all our old people in this one small region.
	Yeah.
	They did.
	Northern Italy is wiped out.
	Yes.
	Well, of older people.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's the idea.
	So there's an anti-China vibe going on.
	Well...
	And it is the only part of the belt.
	That's the one we've talked about this because it goes right up there into the, right up to the Adriatic and hits, it goes through Venice and up a little bit further.
	Yeah, and they got the port there and all kinds of fun stuff.
	All kinds of fun stuff.
	Hey, I have good news.
	Good, good, good news.
	Of all of the technology that we've seen, and I would say going back to when I first brought the, and I get no credit for this, I was the first person to use the Amazon Echo, as it was known at the time.
	We had it on the show.
	We were doing fun jokes with it.
	We were asking the book of knowledge.
	I said at the time, if this thing had an Apple logo on it, people would be losing their crap.
	This is seven years ago.
	Seven years ago, and I got rid of everything once we discovered, and you knew it from the get-go, that everything is being recorded.
	Everything is being listened to.
	There's surveillance.
	Everything is based on advertising.
	The whole surveillance is really to just sell you ads over and over again.
	That's why social media sucks.
	Facebook sucks.
	Twitter sucks.
	All technology sucks.
	I can't hook up something to control my thermostat because then not only do they know what my usage is, they're going to sell me green products and probably going to try and enter me into a sweepstake so that they can remotely turn up my air conditioning at night.
	The whole thing...
	It blows because they chose the model and I will look at Google mainly.
	They chose the model of advertising and making their users the product.
	And so I'm stuck with, you know, a de-Googled Android Graphene OS phone, which is great, but you have to jump through all these hoops just to not be part of some advertising scam.
	It's horrible.
	Yeah.
	And finally...
	I'm going to stop you on this rant, but why do you have to jump through any hoops to do that?
	That's the problem.
	It's such an inconvenience.
	They've ruined our lives.
	Ah!
	Enter former Googlers...
	This is the CEO of NEVA, N-E-E-V-A. This guy's name is Sridhar Ramaswamy.
	So you know it's quality technology.
	And they've started something new.
	Mind-boggling.
	I've signed up.
	I'm on board.
	Welcome to Neba.
	Thank you for joining thousands of other users who are here for a better search experience.
	No ads, no tracking, just the best results for you.
	I don't have to remind you how far off course mainstream search has gone.
	Today one can barely tell where the ads end and your search begins.
	What started as a well-intentioned way to organize the world's information has turned into a business focusing most of its resources on monetizing clicks to support advertisers rather than focusing on you.
	At Neva, and with your help, we are turning that marble on its head by completely reimagining search.
	Search that is ads-free, private, and customizable.
	This all starts with flipping the traditional business model from an ad space to a subscription-based service that is 100% focused on delivering the best search experience for you.
	That's it.
	That's it.
	So that's their promise.
	You get the first four months free, and then it's $4.95 a month.
	I'm in.
	I'm in.
	And you know why I'm in?
	Because I searched for the John C. Dvorak test.
	We all know what that is.
	We do?
	What is the best weed whacker?
	Oh yes, the old test.
	Now, I've signed up.
	I love the results for best weed whacker.
	This thing is fast.
	You can tell that it's not...
	You're talking about the weed whacker or the search engine?
	The search engine.
	N-E-E-V-A dot com.
	Neva dot com.
	It's fantastic.
	It's faster than Google without the ads.
	I'm going to trust them for now that they're not...
	I read through the terms of service.
	It seems okay.
	They're not going to share your data.
	Could there be a tipping point?
	I feel that a lot of people would be very happy.
	I mean, search is the most frequently performed function, for me at least.
	And I don't use Google, if I can avoid it.
	But there's a lot of stuff that, you know, these alternatives just don't get to.
	And they also have ads.
	And I'm always clicking on some link, like, redirect, okay, fine, counted, whatever.
	I like this.
	Do you check it out?
	Neva.com?
	I'm looking at it now.
	I don't think you can do a search without registering, can you?
	I'll do it later.
	I'll give a report back.
	I'm sure it has issues that I won't like.
	But I don't like anything, so it's fine.
	I think you'll do the weed whacker test.
	I'll do the weed whacker, yeah.
	Just to me, I don't know.
	I had this like, oh shit.
	I'm ready for it.
	I'm primed for it.
	Tell me someone else wants it.
	Someone's got to want this stuff.
	This is the beginning.
	This is how you start.
	Once we figure out that we can actually get the technology that we want in a fair manner, maybe we'll figure out how to do voting in America.
	We'll have to work on it.
	We had it figured out before.
	But then again, did we know that for sure?
	Did we really?
	I mean, as the old saying goes, if voting was actually effective, politicians would have outlawed it by now.
	I'm going to show my salute by donating to no agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.
	In fact, we do have a few people to thank for show 1360, beginning with Love Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm. beginning with Love Dame Zelda of the Turtle Realm.
	She came in with $145.
	Nice.
	Sir Baltimore in Irvine, California.
	133.33.
	Michael DeVerdier in Dublin, Ireland.
	Nice.
	125.
	Frank Burns 103.70 in Salon, Iowa.
	Leo Bravo in Los Angeles, California, 100.
	Michael Pay, 100.
	Neil Bottomley in Barnsley, Yorkshire, Great Britain, South Yorkshire, UK. Ezekiel Goodwin in Hurricane West Virginia.
	They have hurricanes in West Virginia?
	They had one and they named a town after it.
	What's all this stuff doing here?
	I don't know.
	Let's make it into a town.
	It's from the hurricane.
	Let's make it into a town.
	And by the way, the best protection against a hurricane is your COVID-19 vaccine.
	Yeah, make sure to get one.
	Kevin Caberna, if you're going to be in a hurricane area at least, Kevin Caberna is 75.
	By the way, looking back on that, that was probably just a snipe at the Floridians who aren't getting the shot as much as they could.
	Possibly.
	Now, Kevin Caberna dedicates this donation of $75 to Phone Boy, who does the no agenda quotes.
	So, I don't know if that makes Phone Boy a knight or not, if that was the missing $75, but he can certainly let us know.
	This has been credited to you.
	Good catch.
	Mr.
	Manischewitz in New Orleans, Louisiana, 7421.
	7421 is the happy 4th of July donation.
	This is our 4th of July donation, 7421.
	You can also donate $742.10 as far as I'm concerned.
	And that would be great for the 4th of July show coming up on Sunday.
	Cody Gray, 7421.
	Jeff Phelps, 7421.
	Uh...
	And last is Brent Beatty in Westchester, Pennsylvania.
	Well, these are all in advance of 7421, which is coming up on Sunday.
	Hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Beatty, it's his birthday on the 4th.
	He also wants a de-douching, so we've got to honor that.
	You've been de-douched.
	Coincidentally, the next person on the list, which is Kathy, Kathy Morrow, is in Eastport, Maine, who also donated 7121 to celebrate Canada Day.
	And the following few donors, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven proud Canadians, came in with this fabulous donation.
	Thank you, Canada.
	7121 from Eastport, Maine.
	Jan Terhart, 7121.
	Eric Mayfield.
	Malady, 7121.
	Lisa Lynch, 7121.
	Patrick Remensberger, 7121, and...
	Scott Bennett, 7121.
	He is in Canada.
	And last is Nicholas Childs, 7121.
	It's funny, all the Canadians, the cities don't show up in the way the database is handled.
	Hello everyone.
	Happy Canada Day.
	There you go.
	Libertas Dries Klassen.
	Very good.
	In Groeningen, Netherlands, 6969.
	And he needs a dedouching.
	You've been dedouching.
	Desperate, desperate name.
	Sir Luke, the Viscount of London and the Southeast at 5704.
	We have Matt Brown at 5510 from Parts Unknown, and he has a note.
	Thanks for the link.
	And Brent is a douchebag.
	This douchebag is not working for so much.
	Get it to work for some reason.
	Rodney Lillibridge.
	It'll work next time.
	Rodney Lillibridge in Lewiston, Idaho.
	50-69.
	And Tim Cabral in Corinth, Texas.
	And he's got a happy birthday coming up for his bride.
	50-50.
	The following people after this is all $50 donors.
	There's not that many.
	There's a few.
	More than last time.
	$50, just name and location here.
	Starting with Jill Woods.
	She's in Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
	Devin Rogers in Sacramento.
	Joseph Barnes in Oakland, California.

	Timothy Moore in Arlington, Texas.
	Anonymous from parts unknown.
	Tony Lang in Castle Pines, Colorado.
	Sir Brian Watson in Raleigh, North Carolina.
	And over here in San Francisco, Aichi Kitagawa.
	I want to thank all these people for helping us do and produce show 1360.
	It is highly appreciated.
	We look forward to our 5,000 days of No Agenda on July 4th.
	That'll be our Sunday show.
	Thank you to these donors who are, of course, producers, just like everyone else who listens.
	Look at the interviews.
	I am very consistent.
	They're producers, not listeners, and you can be proud of the product you are co-producing.
	Also, thanks to the producers who come in under $50, typically for reasons of anonymity, but it's also a base with our sustaining producerships.
	11-11s, 33-33s.
	Nice to have those recurring.
	We highly appreciate it.
	And again, thank you all for producing episode 1360 of the best podcast in the universe.
	Jaborak.org slash N-A.
	I got to fix this touchscreen.
	It's a birthday, birthday.
	I'm so much younger.
	Here's our list for today.
	We already mentioned a couple of them.
	Kathy Moroz, 69 today.
	69, 69.
	Happy birthday to you.
	Tim Carell, happy birthday to his blushing bride, Janine, who turns 50 on the 3rd of July.
	Brent Beatty celebrates on the 4th of July.
	We'll probably say hello to him again on that day.
	Michelle Petty, happy birthday to her brother, Chadwick Anderson, celebrating on July 8th.
	Luberta Strisklassen will be celebrating on the 9th.
	And a happy birthday to Aziz.
	Now, we don't have any title changes, but we do have some, let me see, dame.
	We have two knights and a dame.
	So, that's a two knights and a dame sword.
	Do you have a...
	Yeah, here you go.
	Ooh, that's a good one.
	Daria Rakatine.
	Daria Rakatine.
	Peter and Christopher Sevigny.
	Step on up.
	The three of you have supported the No Agenda Show and the amount of $1,000 or more.
	That makes me very proud to pronounce the KB with the following titles.
	Dame Daria, Sir...
	Berkshirker and Sir Seven of the Insert Coin.
	Lady and gentlemen, for you, we've got Hookers and Blow, we've got Rent Boys and Chardonnay.
	We also have Sashimi and Kistler's Chardonnay as recommended by John C. Devorak.
	Spicy Dry Rub Chicken Wings and Houston Hayes IPA.
	Also, if you want, we've got some Ginger Oil and Gerbils, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Rubin S. Rubin and Rosé.
	And then there's the mutton and mead.
	That's right.
	Go to noagendanation.com slash rings and the three of you are completely eligible and errant that she'll be ready and await your information so we can send out your signet ring, your sealing wax, and your official certification.
	And thank you again for producing the No Agenda Show and thanks for becoming a knight or a dame someday.
	Okay, now we have...
	Oh, yes, we've got some meetups to do.
	No agenda meetups.
	It's like a party.
	I have one report, but first a written report from Dane Anonymous of the Colonial Place.
	Just wanted to relate the story which shows what an amazing community all of the producers have created.
	I gave a lucky Jewish donation last week for my niece.
	Isn't that an 18 or it has to end in an 8 or something?
	I forget what it is.
	It's like a multiple of 18.
	Anyway, I gave a lucky Jewish donation last week to my niece Lexi to have good luck with her JHU doctor's appointment.
	Not only did they leave Baltimore feeling very optimistic about things, but this morning Eric the Shill forwarded an email to me offering help.
	I have floated on air all day knowing that I am part of such a friendly, welcoming, and generous community.
	It was a wonderful reminder that what we see and hear on TV is not reality.
	Correct.
	And that is why these meetups are so great.
	All ages.
	Everybody can find some beauty in this.
	And of course it's also free, which makes it that much better.
	It's just a service that you all put together.
	Let's listen to how it went at the Michigan Local One.
	Hello, this is Michigan's Local Negative One.
	We're at a cancelled meetup, but we win anyways.
	It's raining.
	We're in Michigan!
	And we got rained on, but it was glorious.
	We met some friends, we ate some pizza.
	No agenda!
	Sir Scott Williams here surrounded by d*s and wondering where the f* is Sir Cal with his blossoms.
	This is Dave still a d***.
	Jenny, also a d***.
	I'm Joe Biden and I move it.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs.
	D***. These meetups are so good, people even go to cancelled meetups.

	But even losers are welcome.
	The No Agenda Meetups!
	Noagendameetups.com.
	Always like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you want me.
	Triggered or held the blame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	All right.
	ISOs.
	ISOs, ISOs, ISOs.
	You got nothing.
	You got no ISOs?
	No.
	Alright, I only have two.
	Hopefully one of them is good enough.
	It's nothing to just poo-poo.
	It almost makes your head spin.
	I don't like how that was cut off.
	It almost makes your head spin.
	It's not great.
	That's not too bad.
	That's all I got, so it's going to have to do.
	Well, it's fine.
	It's just that he's a mumble mouth.
	He's mush, mush mouth.
	Mitch McConnell.
	I mean, that's why I prefer if I can get a clip from Sophia with an F because she is precise with her language.
	She's clear as a bell.
	Now, she's the one from Call Me Daddy?
	Well, she was the one that was split off from Call Me Daddy, but she's not the one who made all the money.
	Oh.
	It's the blonde girl that made all the money on Call Me Daddy.
	Yeah.
	Isn't that crazy?
	Was it $60 million?
	Yeah.
	Now, Amazon apparently has purchased some podcast crew for $80 million.
	Yeah.
	Right place at right time.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	What are we doing wrong, bro?
	What are we doing wrong, John?
	Everything we do is wrong.
	All right.
	Well, here's my exit strategy, my personal exit strategy.
	I was so happy to hear a U.S. Senator speak in these terms.
	It is U.S. Senator Loomis.
	Who is Loomis?
	L-U-M-M-I-S. He a newbie?
	I think she's one of the radical Republicans.
	Radical Republicans?
	I think.
	I don't know.
	Never mind what I just said.
	I don't know what I'm talking about.
	It could be.
	I'm just curious.
	I've heard her name.
	I think it's a woman.
	Yes, she's new.
	Cynthia Marie Loomis.
	I think she's one of the new Trumpers.
	I think she's a Trumpista.
	Oh, wait.
	She has a full name.
	It's Cynthia Marie Loomis Wiederspan.
	Oh, then I don't know her.
	Stay safe!
	United States Senator from Wyoming, IS.
	She's the first woman to represent Wyoming in Senate.
	A member of the Republican Party, she served as the U.S. Representative of Wyoming at a large congressional district from 2009 to 2017.
	Okay.
	She's all in on the Bitcoin, not just for herself, but also for the state of I like this report.
	Senator Cynthia Lemmes of Wyoming is the founder of the Financial Innovation Caucus in Congress.
	She's been a major advocate for cryptocurrencies on Capitol Hill.
	And I sat down with her for CNBC's Financial Advisor Summit.
	And she told me she envisions Bitcoin in particular becoming an important component of individual retirement portfolios.
	She believes it can serve as a hedge against inflation as the size of the nation's debt relative to GDP hits historic highs.
	I encourage people to buy and hold.
	I encourage them to say Bitcoin for their retirement, for their future.
	And that's because as the Congress spends trillions and trillions of dollars and is flooding our economy and the world economy with U.S. dollars, there's no way that we cannot debase the value of the U.S. dollars.
	And Lemus practices what she preaches.
	She's an investor in Bitcoin as well.
	I buy Bitcoin and I hold Bitcoin.
	You buy Bitcoin.
	Oh yeah.
	You have Bitcoin.
	I do.
	How much Bitcoin do you have?
	Well, I only have, I think, five.
	So only five Bitcoin.
	But she bought them in 2013 for about $300 each.
	So she can now add a couple of zeros to that number.
	And Wyoming is in the process of setting up its own crypto banking system that Lemus hopes will become a model for other states as well.
	So we have El Salvador, Mexico, now Mexican banks now starting, Paraguay, and now the state of Wyoming.
	I don't know what's wrong with gold, but okay.
	Nothing's wrong with gold.
	I don't think people are against gold at all.
	But okay.
	No, no, no.
	It seems like they are.
	No?
	The only thing different between Bitcoin and gold is it's a lot easier to pay with.
	You just chip off a piece of gold.
	Everyone has little scales that they had to store you, the scales, and you just put some gold there.
	Okay, boom.
	I have a couple of stories I want to get out of here.
	There's one that kind of irks me.
	It's a long story.
	It continues.
	I didn't even clip the whole thing because when I was with the...
	I don't know that this is going on.
	It's not in the national news.
	They're talking about Trump.
	They're talking about OJ, not OJ, but Cosby.
	I'm going to get this two mixed up.
	The WikiLeaks story.
	You know this?
	Tell me you know the story, WikiLeaks.
	What's going on right now?
	I'd have to hear it to know if it's...
	All I know is that Assange's dad and brother are doing the rounds, saying we need to get him out, so that's kind of a WikiLeaks story.
	We turn now to a major development in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who the U.S. State Department is pushing to extradite from Britain.
	Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if brought to the United States, where he's been indicted for violations of the Espionage Act related to the publication of classified documents, which many say expose U.S. war crimes.
	Now one of the main witnesses in that extradition case has come forward to admit he made false claims against Assange for exchange in immunity from prosecution.
	The revelation came in an interview with the convicted Icelandic hacker.
	Sigi Thornton for a detailed article published by the Icelandic Bi-Weekly Stundin.
	It suggests the U.S. Justice Department collaborated with Thornton to generate the indictment for Assange that was submitted to the British courts.
	U.S. prosecutors issued a new superseding indictment against Assange in June 2020 that refers to Thornton As a teenager and Iceland as NATO country one and says Assange encouraged him to, among other things, quote, commit computer intrusion and steal audio recordings of phone conversations between Icelandic officials.
	The Stunden article cites previously unpublished documents and chat logs showing how Thordarson falsely presented himself as a prominent WikiLeaks representative.
	Sundin reports that in fact, quote, all indications are that Thordarson was acting alone without any authorization, let alone urging, from anyone inside WikiLeaks, unquote.
	Okay.
	In other words, the whole thing is a scam.
	Which was, I think, our conclusion at the time.
	Well, we knew it from the get-go, but no one's talked about any of the details.
	This isn't being discussed.
	The foundation of the extradition documents is based on this kid.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, and one of the kids recanted.
	He says, no, it's bullshit.
	I didn't do any of that stuff.
	And this guy is still in jail, the Norwegian hacker?
	I don't know if he's in jail or not.
	All right.
	Dead man.
	He might want to avoid small aviation.
	Hot air balloons is a favorite as well.
	Stay away from that.
	Then I have one other little democracy now clip, which is just a head shaker.
	This will be my last one for today.
	And it's not necessarily uplifting, but it's kind of revealing.
	This is the Afghanistan update.
	This is our update on getting the hell out of Afghanistan.
	The U.S. military could be just days away from withdrawing the majority of its troops from Afghanistan two months ahead of the September 11th deadline set by President Biden.
	Hundreds of troops are likely to remain in the country, though, assigned to securing the U.S. embassy and airport in Kabul.
	The withdrawal comes as Taliban fighters have taken control of dozens of districts in recent weeks.
	And as the top U.S. military general in Afghanistan says, the country could be headed towards civil war.
	Good riddance to him.
	We're there for 20 years.
	We've trained something like a half a million people and we walk out and two minutes later there's a civil war.
	Is that what our influence was worth?
	Are you kidding me?
	That's exactly right.
	This is a bogus story to keep us there.
	That's exactly right.
	And the training of half a million people, as you recall, in 2003, I was embedded with the Dutch Marines at Camp Smitty.
	And we often went during that 10-day period to see some of this training that was taking place of the local Iraqis.
	So I'm sure it's the same idea.
	Afghanis.
	No, but I was in Iraq.
	That was Iraqis.
	Oh, yeah, same thing.
	But it's the same training.
	Complete and utter bullcrap.
	First of all, they give them decommissioned weapons to use when they're doing drills, and it was literally like Dad's army.
	About faced, half of them turn left, half of them turn right.
	It's a mess.
	There's no real training going on.
	It really has not been.
	The only training is of our own troops and CIA agents who are still trying to work out how we can continue to move the poppies from the fields in Afghanistan to wherever it's processed, because that's why we're there.
	And there's a huge, you know, all these bases are being shut down.
	They're not going to shut them all down.
	I think Djibouti may stay around.
	They've got to keep something open reasonably in the area to get the harvested.
	They're never going to leave.
	Ever, ever, ever.
	And we're still going to have, what, half a million, what is it called, contractors?
	Well, it's not that many, but there's quite a few.
	It's a lot.
	And so that's your last clip.
	I will leave us today with the beginning of all of this bullshit in 2001.
	I'm going to take you back to the man who just died.
	That would be Rumsfeld.
	He died peacefully surrounded by his family.
	I have no good words for this douchebag, and neither does Uncle Don, I can say.
	But this is just a little report about Rumsfeld and the shenanigans from back in the day.
	Pentagon.
	The day before 9-1-1.
	Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld declared war.
	Not on foreign terrorists.
	The adversary is closer to home.
	It's the Pentagon bureaucracy.
	He said money wasted by the military poses a serious threat.
	In fact, it could be said that it's a matter of life and death.
	Rumsfeld promised change.
	But the next day, the world changed.
	And in the rush to fund the war on terrorism, the war on waste seems to have been forgotten.
	My 03 budget.
	Calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending.
	More money for the Pentagon when its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25% of what it already spends.
	According to some estimates, we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions.
	2.3 trillion, with a T. That's $8,000 for every man, woman, and child in America.
	To understand how the Pentagon can lose track of trillions, consider the case of one military accountant, who tried to find out what happened to a mere 300 million.
	We know what's going on.
	But we don't know what they spend it on.
	Jim Minnery, a former Marine turned whistleblower, is risking his job by speaking out for the first time about the millions he noticed were missing from one defense agency's balance sheets.
	Minnery tried to follow the money trail, even crisscrossing the country looking for records.
	The director looked at me and he says, why do you care about this stuff?
	It took me aback, you know.
	My supervisor asked me why I care about doing a good job.
	He was reassigned and says officials then covered up the problem by just writing it off.
	They've got to cover it up.
	That's where the corruption comes in.
	They've got to cover up the fact that they can't do the job.
	The Pentagon's inspector general partially substantiated several of Minnery's allegations, but could not prove officials tried to manipulate the financial statements.
	Twenty years ago, Pentagon employee Franklin C. Spinney made headlines exposing what he calls the accounting games.
	He's still there, and although he does not speak for the Pentagon, he believes the problem has gotten worse.
	Those numbers are pie in the sky.
	The books are cooked routinely year after year after year.
	Retired Vice Admiral Jack Shanahan commanded the Navy's Second Fleet the first time Donald Rumsfeld served as Defense Secretary.
	With good financial oversight, We could find $48 billion and lose change in that building without having to hit the taxpayers.
	20 years later, what has changed?
	We've only added zeros to the numbers.
	Yeah, it's a mess.
	It's despicable.
	And the thing that bothers me the most is that when they say, oh, look at our defense spending.
	It's more than all the rest of the armies in the world.
	That makes it so much safer.
	I don't know that the Chinese aren't spending their money better than we are.
	They may get, you know, more best price, more bang for their buck.
	We don't know where this money's going.
	It's just a big number.
	Exactly.
	I don't wish the dead ill, but screw you, rummy.
	And thanks for the aspartame, douchebag.
	He was responsible for that, too.
	Probably a bigger killer than the Pentagon.
	But that's just my opinion.
	We will be back with you on the 4th of July.
	We're working on our Independence Day, but we are celebrating our freedom from mainstream media.
	Please join us for that.
	It's a great way to kick off America's birthday.
	Happy birthday to Canada.
	We love you.
	And remember to support us at dvorak.org slash na.
	Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6 in the governmental maps, and still haven't left anywhere.
	In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, and there's still no sun.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday for another fab episode.
	End of show, we've got Tom Starkweather, John Dew, and Professor JJ. Next on noagendastream.com, that Larry show with the patriotic episode.
	Looking forward to July 4th.
	Get your flags a wave.
	wave and in the morning everybody until then adios and such there are known knowns There are things we know we know.
	We are, in a sense, seeing the definition of a new battlefield in the world, a 21st century battlefield.
	We also know there are known unknowns.
	Grumsfeld once said, if you're not criticized, you may not be doing much.
	By that measure, he did quite a lot.
	But there are also unknown unknowns.
	The ones we don't know, we don't know.
	A very successful businessman, when he was in the private sector as the head of G.D. Surin, a major pharmaceutical company, he was enormously successful as a business leader.
	It is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.
	Stuff happens.
	Grumsfeld quickly seized all Launching airstrikes in Afghanistan in less than 30 days.
	And in 18 months, the invasion of Iraq.
	Stuff happens.
	There are also unknown unknowns.
	The ones we don't know, we don't know.
	The ones we don't know, we don't know.
	Let me whisper in your ear.
	Tell you something that you might like to hear.
	I wrote the bill.
	On the environment.
	Hey, I'm known to be a real nasty man.
	Just wait until you see my 1.9.
	Wait until you see my 1.9 trillion dollars.
	Like more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
	I'll pay them more.
	Big leagues are headed to Austin.
	The American Cornhole League is in town this weekend.
	Someone's getting cornholed today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	KV Sports Director Jeff Jones got to chat with some professionals about how the game is played.
	I'm going to introduce the rule of 33.
	A lot is going on in the thought process, like, what is the score?
	How many bags do I have left in the round?
	You'll play right next to your opponent.
	The most exciting shot in the game of cornhole is called the air mill.
	The slide up the board to find the hole, giving you that needed edge to come out on top.
	Someone's getting cornhole today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	Hornhole is not just a game for tailgating.
	More than 160 players from 15 states are competing.
	That's the best part of the game, the trash talk, right?
	No.
	The rule of 33.
	On for one, in for three.
	A lot of times we hit it, a lot of times we don't.
	And alternate trash talk.
	Yeah, and alternate trash talk, absolutely, yep.
	Sounds right.
	The Junior's Age Group is up right now.
	Co-Ed Double starts tonight at 7.
	The first ever American Cornhole Organization Blue Ridge Major Tournament.
	On for one, in for three.
	Just light up the board to find the hole.
	The Rule of 33.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	That's the best part of the game, the trash talk, right?
	Someone's getting cornholes today.
	Sounds like a recipe for success to me.
	The Rule of 33.
	The best podcast in the universe Adios, mofo.
