	I'll have a shotgun by my side and the hound dog with me.
	This is No Agenda.
	Celebrating 5,000 days of no agenda and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where everybody's saying, Happy Independence Day.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	It's Crackpot and Buzzkill in the morning.
	I am definitely prone to saying Happy Independence Day instead of Happy Fourth of July.
	Yes.
	I find that to be much more accurate.
	And it's some kind of Marxist plot to turn it into just happy 4th of July.
	Yes, of course.
	But, you know, the thing is that 4th of July is everywhere.
	That's correct.
	Independence Day is not.
	You're right.
	That's interesting.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	I noticed that in Scandinavia, we just had Canada Day, they changed the national anthem.
	What?
	Yes.
	How did that get by me?
	Let me see if I can find this.
	Yeah, it was really interesting.
	Did they change it from O Canada?
	No, they really should have done that, shouldn't they?
	Let me see, I thought I had it here.
	What did they do?
	They changed one word to make it no longer masculine.
	Yes, exactly.
	Let me see, do I have it here?
	That's weird, I thought I saved that.
	Canada Anthem.
	Anyway.
	Oh, here it is.
	Canada National Anthem revised with gender-neutral language.
	And the change is not big, but the second line...
	You just slip it in there a little bit.
	It's like Star Trek, where no one has gone before.
	Yeah.
	The second line of O Canada, which inspires patriotism by, in all thy sons, will now be in all of us.
	Oh.
	It's no good.
	I can hear the song in my head and that doesn't sound right.
	No, of course it doesn't.
	It's...
	And I think...
	You know, let's face it.
	Let's face it.
	Trudeau is gender neutral himself.
	Yes.
	Have you ever seen that guy even with a woman?
	I don't think so.
	He has a wife, John.
	Oh, that means everything.
	Yeah, but anyway, you asked if you've never seen him with a woman, so that doesn't mean anything either.
	Well, I've never seen him with his wife.
	Yeah, good point.
	Have you?
	Only when, I think only when she was being accused of theft.
	I remember seeing her then.
	That was about it.
	So it is Independence Day.
	Happy Birthday, America.
	That's what we also often say.
	And when I woke up this morning, well, first of all, a quick update.
	Podcasting in the dark for the foreseeable future from the brand new home in Texas Hill Country.
	The dimmers are a problem on every single microphone I own.
	Yeah, of course they are.
	It has little to do with the microphone.
	Well, I think it does.
	It's the wiring that picks up the noise.
	Well, what's interesting is if I unplug the mic, then there's no static.
	It's coming through the microphone, not through the wiring of the microphone.
	It is the microphone itself.
	Do you think it's actually being picked up by what would amount to an antenna?
	Yes, I believe so.
	Within the microphone structure?
	Yes, I believe so.
	In fact, the RE320, which I use, which is my favorite, it is even marketed as an anti-hum.
	It has a hum buster.
	Hum buster!
	It has a hum buster that is supposed to stop exactly that.
	And so I thought, well, maybe the Heil, the PR40 would do better.
	That was the worst.
	And I tried the Procaster, which...
	Cumbuster!
	And in the previous house with the dimmer issue, that did not experience it at all.
	So my choice is Assure SMB7, which I don't have.
	Mine is actually broken, so I have to get another one.
	Or if I can find an RE20 manufactured before 1995, that may be the way to go, because replacing every dimmer in this house is going to be an issue.
	Why don't you just turn them off before you do the show?
	Well, yes, but I don't live here alone.
	You know, what if it's...
	I would put a...
	Here's what I would do.
	All right.
	I'll put a tracking device on Tino.
	I already like how this sounds.
	And do a show with, just leave her to her own devices and then see where she went and what she turned on and what she turned off and just replace those dimmers.
	Right.
	Well, we did it.
	I've been testing since our last show.
	Every single dimmer does it.
	Lights that do not have a dimmer, no interference.
	So it's purely the dimmers.
	Yeah, those dimmers.
	Pieces of shit.
	Well, they're all, I mean, they're cheap Chinese stuff.
	And they're just loaded with noise.
	Of course they are.
	And I've also been learning about...
	Are they on and off type dimmers or do you have to actually...
	Their only function is a dimmer.
	No, no.
	You can turn on or off, but in order to have full strength, you have to push the dimmer all the way up.
	So there's no bypass for on.
	Oh, there's no bypass for on.
	Right.
	And if you turn them all the way up, the noise is less, but it's still there.
	Yeah, because it's running through the circuit.
	Yeah, it's running through the circuit.
	Yeah, you have to have the bypass.
	Interesting.
	It's cheap.
	So the guy goes through all the trouble.
	I'm putting all these fancy dimmers in and it turns out to be good.
	Well, it's worse.
	You know, in investigating this, it gets worse.
	It gets worse.
	Remember, the guy had every single smartphone thing he could for the HVAC, for the doors, for the, what else, for, you know, just all kinds of different stuff.
	Doorbell.
	We'll talk about this after the show.
	You should.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, we should mention that.
	Well, this was his.
	It's just kind of a quasi-smart home, which I've always thought.
	Well, hold on.
	You have to understand.
	The guy was divorced.
	This was going to be his last home.
	He built it and then he realized it was too big for him.
	But because it was his last home, he did everything that you could imagine a guy alone would do, including washer-dryer in the closet.
	That's how guys think.
	Oh, this is easy.
	I'll just put a washer-dryer here and I don't have to move that far when putting things into the washing machine.
	Hold on a second.
	I didn't know this part of the narrative.
	Generally speaking, my understanding was, in this case, was they built the house together and then they got divorced, which is not unusual for people to buy homes.
	I'm not 100% sure about that.
	Okay.
	Not 100% sure, but regardless, he has told me that, hey, this was my last house, and it was just me, so I'm not sure.
	He says, I did everything the way I wanted it, which includes, you know, I showed you the picture, a beverage air industrial drink cooler.
	So he's got all, it's a party house.
	But he wanted to control everything through an app.
	And so what I've been learning...
	App nut.
	Was it all iPhone apps?
	No, you can get them on Android too.
	No, was he an iPhone guy?
	He was an iPhone guy, yeah.
	So he had cables coming out of the nightstand all built in with, of course, an iPhone cable.
	Which I don't use, so I had to, you know...
	What makes it worse is that the iPhone cable is probably already over the hill and unusable after a couple of years.
	Very soon.
	A couple of iterations of the iPhone.
	Very soon, yes.
	But what I've been learning, and I'll just touch on it briefly because I'm learning more about it, is there is a standard in Bluetooth...
	That enables, just with a software update, any Internet of Things device, so that's your doorbells, that's your smart TVs, that's your thermostat, all of this stuff, to create a mesh network through Bluetooth that you can't even control.
	I mean, you can't...
	And if someone walks by with a Bluetooth phone that has one of these apps, it can pass on traffic, they can interact with each other.
	And this is literally an RF chip inside these devices, and it has about a half-mile radius, range.
	Half-mile?
	Yes, that's what Amazon Sidewalk is.
	They're rolling this out so that the mesh network connects your Amazon crap to your neighbor's crap and to their crap, and all of a sudden these guys have a complete mesh grid that they can utilize through Bluetooth.
	Yeah, that's how silent I was.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	So, and even though you don't even know that a device has it, it's a standard chip.
	It costs a couple pennies.
	They throw it in everything.
	And with a software update, they can activate it.
	Transceiver.
	There's a guy on, a ham guy.
	Who has been looking into this?
	It's in the show notes.
	But it's just like, oh my god, I don't want any of this!
	This is not going to end well.
	No, but Amazon is the one pushing it commercially the biggest right now.
	And of course, they have the Ring doorbell, they have the Alexa, they've got their own Wi-Fi points, they've got everything.
	So, no.
	No.
	I mean, the alternative is just rip everything out, close the damn house off as a Faraday cage, and then put an Airstream in the garden and podcast from there.
	I am considering it.
	Well, that's what I'm going to do.
	I am considering it.
	I'll have a shotgun by my side and the hound dog with me.
	So I woke up this morning to the news that I was expecting.
	It's too bad it came on July 4th, because we're partying here in the United States, except for the No Agenda Nation, who know what to do when the elites are partying.
	That's when we pay attention to stuff.
	And improve our unpreparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.
	Oh yeah, it's here.
	The cyber pandemic.
	NBC Nightly News.
	Less than three weeks after President Biden demanded that Russian leader Vladimir Putin crack down on cyber criminals, the U.S. government is once again scrambling tonight to contain what some experts are calling one of the biggest ransomware attacks ever.
	Cyber researchers say hundreds of businesses in the United States have been hit, and more than a thousand across the world.
	Researchers say the attack was carried out by R.Evil, the same Russia-based gang that extorted an $11 million ransom last month from JBS, the world's largest meatpacker.
	It is probably one of the biggest, if not the biggest, ransomware attacks ever.
	Biden said today he directed his administration to help the victims and find those responsible.
	He said he wasn't yet sure the attack came from Russia, but...
	If this is either with the knowledge of and or a consequence of Russia, then I told Putin we will respond.
	The hackers reached so many victims by first attacking information technology company Kaseya, which confirmed tonight that it was hit by a sophisticated cyber attack on software used by clients to manage computers remotely.
	And a major grocery chain in Sweden said it closed most of its 800 stores across the country after cash registers were locked up by what is suspected to be the same ransomware.
	Traditionally, these criminals have operated with impunity in Russia by and large, as long as they don't target Russian businesses.
	When NBC News correspondent Keir Simmons pressed Putin last month about cybercriminals based in his country, the Russian leader denied it.
	Where is proof?
	It's becoming farcical.
	But there is nothing funny about the impact of ransomware, which is costing the U.S. economy an estimated $20 billion a year and putting critical infrastructure at risk.
	And Ken Delaney is with us now.
	Ken, what's the White House prepared to do about this latest attack?
	White House officials said they never expected Biden's warning to Putin to have an immediate impact, Peter.
	They say they're going to wait six months to assess the situation.
	How do you like them apples?
	Well, let's play the NPR report, because it seemed to be a little more reasonable.
	Thank goodness.
	A ransomware attack is now spreading worldwide.
	It's traced to a network management package developed by U.S. software provider Kaseya.
	President Biden says U.S. intelligence agencies don't know if Russia's behind the attack, but they'll find out.
	NBC knows?
	Give me a deep dive on what's happened, and I'll know better tomorrow.
	And if it is, either with the knowledge of and or a consequence of Russia, then I told Putin we will respond.
	The attack has paralyzed thousands of businesses around the world.
	A Swedish grocery store chain had to shut down most of its 800 stores because it couldn't work its cash registers.
	Yeah, it seems like the Swedish story was the one that they all used.
	And the Dutch press this morning, I was reading, there were at least 200 companies, I think in the Netherlands, who used the VSA software.
	I'm not sure.
	It's another remote-controlled stuff.
	Why?
	Why what?
	Why would a Swedish grocery store...
	Sorry, I need a lemon, it seems.
	Why would a...
	Why would these grocers...
	Is this cloud-based?
	Oh yeah.
	The grocery chain?
	Of course it's cloud-based.
	Of course.
	So they can't run a cash register without being linked to the cloud?
	This is not a...
	What kind of a policy is this?
	John, connected cash registers has been a thing since NCR implemented it in 1989.
	I mean, this is not new.
	It's just, you know, surprise, surprise, it's vulnerable.
	Well, it seems to be more and more vulnerable over time.
	Well, that depends.
	I mean, I don't trust any of this.
	This could be total horse crap.
	It could be just only the Swedish grocery chain.
	It could be some other kind of niche.
	Can Sweden do their own implementation of this sort of software?
	What kind of software is it that you have to outsource to an American company?
	Oh, it's worse than that.
	This is outsourced to Indonesia, to China.
	This is outsourced to Ukraine.
	Software development these days is outsourced all over the world.
	India.
	And, you know, there's no checking on the other side.
	Okay, your code's good.
	It works.
	Thanks.
	You know, a lot of developers are very concerned about the outsourcing, besides the fact that they are losing work.
	It's all given to, you know, Eastern Bloc, East Asian.
	Well, I know how the sales pitch goes.
	Yeah, I love the sales pitch.
	The sales pitch works.
	The sales pitch consists of a sales guy coming over with usually just one or two charts and saying, if you implement our software, This is how much money you're going to save.
	It's bringing the best price idea into the mainstream.
	Absolutely.
	The Chinese.
	Best price.
	And it shows that if you run your cash registers with our software, you'll save a million dollars a store.
	And here's how you'll save it.
	And then they show you.
	And you go, wow, that's a lot of savings.
	I'm in.
	And I think this all happened with the introduction to the C-suite of executives, the CIO, the Chief Information Officer, whose job, and I was one, or I was confused with one.
	Sometimes I was CTO. People called me all kinds of things.
	Whose job is behind my back, yes.
	Thank you.
	Your sole job was to interface between all these companies offering exactly that pitch that you gave and the organization and to the board.
	So the CIOs, and I've met many CIOs who I think are total numbnuts.
	They're stupid.
	Yeah, they don't know what they're talking about.
	No offense to the ones that listen to the show.
	No.
	They're the ones who are smart.
	Yeah.
	Obviously.
	But yeah, so I think that's...
	And now it's time to pay the price.
	And it's easily exploitable.
	And again, I take Klaus Schwab and his merry band of bandits at their word.
	They want a cyber pandemic, whether it's real or not, whether it was just ready to go.
	Again, ransomware sits often dormant for months and months.
	This was timed.
	Timed for whatever reason, it may become evident, and I think it's part of the, you know, they're going to wait six months.
	Oh, so in six months, is that when it kicks off with Russia?
	Is that right in the middle of another lockdown because of COVID slash the flu?
	Because it'll be flu season?
	I'm going to go with Occam's razor on this and think that whatever reason consists of this.
	Hey, Ivan, our bank account's low.
	Okay, you can have that opinion.
	I am somewhat more skeptical, and that's why there's two of us.
	Now, sadly, you and I, John, have been getting pretty tired dancing in the end zone here.
	We've done the two-year dash towards the opposing team's end zone.
	We've been there.
	Everything we've said is starting to come true.
	And this has got to be my favorite.
	Dogs are people, too.
	I told you, they're coming for your pets!
	Judgment is coming out that we may be able to even communicate the vaccine...
	The new variant to your pets.
	Yeah, baby, to your pets!
	Oh, he was doubling down on this.
	He was really loving this.
	Lives will be lost.
	And I was even reading today, there's some speculation, some judgment is coming out that you may be able to even...
	Communicate the new variant to your pets.
	Yeah, the new variant.
	The new variant.
	And this is picked up as a news story.
	According to a recent study, a significant number of pet cats and dogs catch the COVID-19 virus from their owners.
	The author of the study has recommended that COVID patients should isolate themselves even from their pets.
	Yeah.
	Dr.
	Els Bruins of the Utrecht University in the Netherlands has authored the study.
	The study was presented with the European Congress of Microbiology and Diseases.
	Well, it's an Indian report.
	About one out of every five pet catches the COVID-19 virus from their owners.
	So about one out of five pets will catch the disease from their owners because the most likely transmission is from human to pet.
	So this is a rather high prevalence, but on the other hand, luckily the animals do not get very ill from it because most owners didn't Well, they said my pet did not show any signs, and for other things, maybe some mild signs, but not, well, as people are getting sometimes very ill, we don't see that in the pets, luckily.
	LeBron has conducted a study on 156 dogs.
	Out of these, 154 were from households with COVID-19 patients.
	About 17% of the animals had antibodies for the COVID-19 virus.
	This attested that they had been infected with the virus in the past.
	About 4.2% of the animals had an active COVID infection, which was further confirmed by an RT-PCR test.
	All right.
	They're swabbing your dog.
	So here's my Occam's razor.
	Please.
	They're trying to dump this vaccine any way they can.
	Give it to your dog!
	Give it to your dog, baby!
	Absolutely, you nailed it.
	Yeah, give it to your dog.
	You nailed it.
	You've got to get rid of this stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, they have this situation.
	I've got three reports.
	All right.
	Only, I mean, the one is kind of relational.
	This is trying to get these vaccines into South Africa.
	This is the COVID South Africa clip.
	The South African Health Products Regulatory Authority has authorized the use of the Chinese-manufactured Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine.
	The country is grappling with a deadly third wave of the pandemic.
	Ishma Fundikwa reports from Harare.
	The authorization is set to boost South Africa's flagging vaccine rollout, which has seen fewer than 3 million people getting jabs to date.
	The country's health system, especially in the Hauteng province, the epicenter of the current wave, is close to buckling.
	And the government has tightened lockdown measures to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
	It's about time they got on board.
	Yes, they don't really have that many casualties.
	No, no, so they've got to show the flag at least.
	Yeah.
	The only other report I have is the new mask up.
	Yeah, this is important because because of the Delta Plus, the Delta or the Delta Plus, now, of course, we know Los Angeles immediately reverted back to masks indoor, now everywhere.
	Yeah.
	So they're trying to push this again.
	Not sure what the reason is, but I have a three-parter.
	This is COVID Mask Up One.
	This holiday weekend, it feels in many parts of the United States like the country has finally turned the corner on the pandemic.
	For many Americans, masks seem like a thing of the past, and with good reason.
	the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, updated guidance in May to say that vaccinated people can resume pre-pandemic activities without a mask or worrying about social distancing.
	But outside the U.S., the World Health Organization issued different guidance this week, urging everyone, even those who are vaccinated, to keep wearing masks because of the threat of the highly transmissible Delta variant.
	That variant has now been detected in more than 80 countries and in all 50 U.S. states.
	In fact, the presence of the variant in California led the Los Angeles County Department of Health to strongly recommend that fully vaccinated residents resume wearing masks when indoors.
	Ah, brother.
	So if you're not vaccinated, can you have a mask and walk around?
	Or are you persona non grata in that case?
	You can't tell because they haven't given us a little yellow star yet.
	Oh, damn.
	I'm waiting for my yellow star.
	Let's go to part two.
	So we want to begin by exploring these conflicting recommendations.
	And for that, we've called Bill Hanage.
	He's an associate professor of epidemiology at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
	And he joins us now from Cambridge, Massachusetts.
	Professor Hanage, welcome.
	Thanks for having me on the show.
	As we mentioned, the WHO and the CDC are providing conflicting mask recommendations.
	So why the discrepancy, do you think?
	I think the difference comes down to the fact that the WHO is trying to give advice to the world, whereas the CDC is restricted to the United States.
	While the United States does have pretty good levels of vaccination pretty much everywhere, although there are some very worrying pockets, which I'm sure we'll come to, the world is nowhere near that.
	And so for the world, you want to be emphasizing those other things that people can do beyond vaccination, the social distancing in order to help control Delta, because Delta really is bad news.
	You mentioned those worrying pockets.
	Some public health officials and doctors believe that parts of the U.S. should have mask mandates, but that it should be decided on a local or state basis, like the L.A. county decision, for example.
	What's your take on that?
	I think that it's pretty reasonable because the fact is that it's kind of hard for someone to make a set of rules which are applying to, like, Cambridge, Massachusetts, where I am, where vaccination rates are really high and incidence is really low.
	And then also the same rules apply in a place where you have relatively high incidence and relatively low vaccination rates.
	Of course, it really is a very fine dance that people are trying to do here.
	It's very difficult to come up with something which is going to be a one-size-fits-all measure.
	And so pushing those decisions down to those levels, Seems actually like a pretty sensible thing to do right now.
	God, did they let him on just because he had an English accent?
	Because he was pretty empty otherwise.
	Worrying pockets.
	Contributed absolutely nothing.
	You go to part three, I think there's a little more of the same thing.
	Very shallow, vapid.
	What's the point?
	I'm happy to report I am coming to you from a pocket of concern.
	Texas, pocket of concern.
	You are.
	A worrying pocket.
	I would be, you're in a pocket.
	Pocket, babe, I'm in the pocket.
	Pocket of concern.
	It occurs to me that there's a challenge for public health officials, right?
	That, right, you want to avoid another spike.
	What?
	Hold on a second.
	What did you do there?
	Oh, I have to, wait, let me preface, I sweetened this one a little bit.
	Oh, okay.
	One of those, hmm, how did that happen clips?
	It occurs to me that there's a challenge for public health officials, right?
	Right.
	You want to avoid another spike.
	At the same time, there's a point at which you ask people to do too much, and they just won't cooperate.
	Is that fair?
	Yeah, that's fair.
	And it's also true to say that just as public health officials have to say, hey, you've got to be really careful right now, take us seriously, there's also a point where you want to be able to say, okay, we can be a little bit more relaxed now.
	But that isn't necessarily going to be the case everywhere.
	I mean, take Los Angeles, which you mentioned earlier.
	Los Angeles has been putting in mask mandates again.
	That's not only because Delta is present, but because there are at least two separate instances where Delta has acquired an additional mutation.
	Which we think may make it a little bit more transmissible.
	Don't know that yet.
	But it's the kind of thing that we need to be continuously watching and being very careful about when we put out guidance.
	President Biden said yesterday that he wasn't worried about the Delta variant causing another major nationwide outbreak of COVID-19.
	Is he right in his assessment, in your opinion?
	I think that's right.
	I think that we've vaccinated the nation enough that we're not going to get a sort of coherent nationwide spike like the sort we've seen before, or to the extent that we've seen before.
	But I want to draw your attention to those pockets of the map where you have, in some places, about 30% of the over-65s unvaccinated.
	That's a number which makes me worried.
	The over 65s.
	It's not a category.
	Oh, yeah.
	The over 65s.
	That's you, baby.
	That's you.
	Hey.
	You're an over 65.
	Just barely.
	Over 65s.
	The guy says, he says, we think, we think that it's worse, this new double variant.
	Do you know what they say in Holland?
	He says, we think, but we don't know.
	Why are you even saying it?
	You think, well, you're just making it up.
	You think?
	He's being asked to appear.
	Hello.
	It's misinformation.
	By the way, in the Netherlands, we say the category is 65 plusser, a 65 plusser.
	Oh, plusser.
	Plusser.
	A 65 plussizer.
	Well, no.
	There's Dr.
	William Schaffner.
	Sadly, I don't have a clip of it.
	He's a professor in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
	He told CNN, I do not have a clip.
	I am looking for this clip.
	Quote, unvaccinated people are potential variant factories.
	Now you're talking.
	You want to get people angry at each other?
	You're a variant factory, you bad person.
	Trying to kill us, you son of a bitch.
	Horrible variant factory.
	Wow.
	Isn't that cool?
	Yeah.
	I gotta hand it to the copywriters.
	This is a great twist in the simulation.
	I had not expected it.
	It's the way to go.
	Lisbon court has ruled that only 0.9% of verified cases died of COVID. So not the 17,000 as claimed, but 152.
	At least Portugal is awake.
	Yeah.
	And you've got to appreciate that.
	You've got to appreciate it.
	That'll be suppressed.
	You'll never hear that anywhere on any newscast anywhere ever again.
	What you just said.
	In fact, I'm surprised they're not over there black bagging you as we speak.
	No, instead, no one's going to pay attention to that.
	We need to pay attention to the Pfizer marketing.
	And not just Pfizer, we know the U.S. government put $2 billion into convincing mainly white people in pockets of concern.
	Like, you know, so advertising on NASCAR. We've really got to get to you people, so let's put some more money into the TikTok video, shall we?
	I guess I'm a vaccine hoochie.
	I guess I'm a vaccine slut.
	I let them put it in my arm, and I would have blown and put it in my ass.
	Cause I'm a vaccine slut.
	Everybody now!
	Yes, I'm a vaccine slut.
	Woo, baby!
	That's where your money's going.
	Team Halo, on the ball.
	Vaccine slut?
	Yes, she's a vaccine slut.
	A vaccine hoochie.
	It's taking it in her butt?
	She said ass.
	But I think the rhyme, the missed rhyme was on purpose.
	Wow.
	So I have more kind of incentive news.
	That's really, that should be, that woman should be locked up.
	So these days it's very hard to tell between, the difference between an incentive to go on the vaccine, to get the vaccine, or it's just everyone has weird messages.
	The message is ultimately you've got to get the vaccine.
	But, you know, if you're the CEO of Pfizer, And someone asks you, have you had your vaccine yet?
	And you know damn well you're not taking this thing.
	How do you answer that?
	How do you go through it?
	Well, we know.
	For you, I've heard you have not yet had your shot.
	When do you plan to get it?
	The sooner I can, I will.
	The only sensitivity here, Meg, is that I don't want to have an example that I'm cutting the line.
	I am 59 years old, in good health.
	I'm not working in the front line.
	So my type is not recommended to get vaccinated.
	Hey, that train left a station, dude.
	We tried to pull that stuff, but that was six months ago.
	It did not work very well for us.
	And it didn't work.
	But now he's still trying to pull that nonsense?
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, I don't want to cut in line?
	Hey, you guys are loaded to the gills with extra excess stock, and you don't want to cut in line?
	Yep.
	Wow.
	Yeah, isn't that cool?
	That stuff must really be more dangerous than we even thought.
	I think he's Israeli, and Israel itself was their petri dish for testing.
	Everyone's been vaccinated there.
	You know, so the whole thing is kind of odd.
	Strange.
	That's probably the results of those tests that inspired him to never take this vaccine.
	Yeah, I don't want to cut in line.
	I'm not going to do that.
	Cut in line.
	I don't want to cut in line, man.
	I'll give you a clip of the day for that one.
	Oh, well, that's very kind of you.
	Clip of the day.
	Don't want to cut in line.
	So, here's some more incentive.
	I want to thank the Clip Custodian for working on his day off.
	It was very much appreciated.
	His beat is stuff like PBS NewsHour, and he got a good one.
	Over the summer and in the fall, we have surges in those regions where we have low vaccination rates.
	But I fear that that is where we are headed unless we can quickly increase vaccination rates.
	That's one of the reasons, Judy, that the administration is also putting together a surge effort to help build teams that can go to areas that have been hard hit, either by micro surges or that have low vaccination rates.
	and can bring a series of resources to them From assistance with expanding testing, to vaccine administration, to technical assistance to support their public health departments, and also to get therapeutics to them, like monoclonal antibodies.
	So they're surging response teams to the pockets of concern.
	Coming door to door.
	Yeah.
	It's not far away.
	It's not far away.
	Okay, a couple other things you will not hear anywhere.
	Ireland, from the Ireland...
	What publication is this?
	I don't know.
	It could be like the Babylon Bee.
	I don't think so.
	The Irish Examiner.
	And they report clot risk to 18 to 39s from AstraZeneca vaccine is twice as high as COVID death risk.
	Euro study finds.
	Now this one, again, AstraZeneca, Norway to pay compensation for AstraZeneca side effects as patients who suffered from Pfizer and Moderna watch and wait.
	See, now something cool is going on.
	So wait a minute, I got damaged by the AstraZeneca?
	They got damaged, they get paid, but I can't walk straight from my Pfizer?
	I'm not getting anything?
	Interesting.
	Mm-hmm.
	I wonder what the rationale is.
	Well, you know, Pfizer promotes it.
	Oh, no, there's no problem.
	We're safe.
	Yeah.
	All over Australia, there's concern now.
	People putting up signs that say, 158, no!
	And 158 refers to the Public Health Act of 2016, Section 158 of Australian law.
	And people are very concerned about this.
	I guess no one reads laws or don't discuss it when it goes in.
	158, enforcement of requirement to undergo medical observation and medical examination.
	If an authorized officer gives a direction to a person under Section 157 to undergo medical observation, medical examination, or medical treatment, or to be vaccinated, an authorized officer or police officer may use reasonable force to ensure that the direction is complied an authorized officer or police officer may use reasonable force to ensure that the direction is complied with, including, if necessary, to apprehend and detain the person to whom the
	if necessary, to apprehend and detain the person to whom the direction applies and to take the relevant person to a place where the person is required to undergo medical observation, medical examination and medical treatment or to be vaccinated in accordance with the direction.
	There's more.
	This officer is also allowed to remove anything, including underwear that is relevant to the person is wearing.
	If the removal of the thing is reasonably necessary to enable a medical examination or medical treatment to be carried out or as the case requires to enable the person to be vaccinated.
	Thank you.
	Hello, Australia!
	Ever since they took their guns away, this has been going on.
	Yeah, whenever I say that, people are like, man, this is not true!
	We're still going to go!
	This is not true!
	Yes, it is.
	It's true, though.
	I mean, the coincidence is not...
	I mean, it's there.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Well, in the United States, we don't have to write those laws anywhere.
	Our president tells you what to do.
	For those of you who haven't been vaccinated, because you don't think it's...
	You don't want to go through it.
	It doesn't hurt.
	It's accessible.
	It's free.
	It's available.
	And not only...
	Don't think about yourself.
	Think about your family.
	Think about those around you.
	Think about your dog, man.
	You want to kill your...
	If they would only stay on that...
	Look, Curry Dvorak Consulting Group is in session.
	Pay attention to what we're saying.
	If you want to sell this vaccine, tell people they've got to vax their pets.
	People will do it right away.
	They love it.
	Yeah, they'll do anything for their pets, of course.
	Yeah.
	And then Chip Todd from MSNBC, Meet the Press.
	This is the best projection clip, I think, ever in the history of this show.
	And just take into consideration that the misinformation has come mainly from MSNBC, CNN, NBC... As it pertains to vaccination, effectivity, etc.
	Listen to this projection.
	Please get vaccinated.
	If you know someone who's not vaccinated, find a way to convince them to get vaccinated.
	Literally, the only people dying are the unvaccinated.
	And for those of you spreading misinformation, shame on you.
	Shame on you.
	People are needlessly dying because of your misinformation.
	Think about it.
	I don't know how some of you sleep at night who are doing this for a living on television.
	Holy mackerel!
	Was that Todd?
	Yeah, Chip Todd.
	Yeah, he's wagging his finger.
	That guy should be ashamed of himself.
	And he's wagging his finger, too.
	This is like a journalist?
	No.
	No, he's not a journalist.
	No, come on.
	We know that.
	No.
	Wow.
	You know, you would have gotten a clip of the day.
	No, actually the other one is too much better.
	This was just fun.
	The guy who runs Pfizer won't get the vaccine.
	It's too much.
	You should play that clip to Chip Todd.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You a-hole CEO of Pfizer.
	There's something going on at MSNBC. I think Chris Hayes is an anti-vaxxer.
	You know, there's going to be a few of them, but they have to be.
	Here's proof.
	Excuse me, sorry.
	The guy's got the Rona.
	He's got the Rona, baby!
	He's passing it on.
	Excuse me.
	Sorry.
	Life is good when you get this stuff, man.
	Life is good.
	Narrowing down what we have, and I think we have all the important stuff that you really need to know about the latest COVID hysteria.
	We do have some anti-ivermectin propaganda.
	And let me see.
	Oh, yes.
	Well, this is probably not encouraging for the vaccine industry, but it's a short report.
	COVID-19 vaccine.
	You're going to want to listen to this.
	The Red Cross says anyone who has received their COVID-19 vaccine cannot donate convalescent plasma to help other COVID-19 patients in hospitals.
	That plasma is made up of antibodies from people who have recovered from the virus, but the vaccine wipes out those antibodies, making the convalescent plasma ineffective in treating other COVID-19 patients.
	I'd like to have a medical analysis of that statement.
	This has got to do with ivermectin.
	No, I'm sorry.
	My mistake.
	Ivermectin is the next split.
	Oh.
	But I'm just saying, I'd like to have a real medical opinion on that.
	I mean, isn't the whole point that you have these spike protein, whatever it's called, and doesn't that create antibodies?
	The vaccine wipes out your antibodies?
	I haven't heard that.
	That doesn't make sense.
	It's very strange.
	No, what it does is it makes your blood toxic.
	They're just saying the wrong thing on purpose because there's something else going on where if you get that vaccine, your blood is now not usable for anybody else.
	It's too dangerous.
	You'd think that it would be exactly the opposite.
	Oh, it's fortified blood, baby.
	It's fortified with spike protein.
	Bring it on.
	That's what I would think.
	That's what I'd have to call a false report.
	Well, here's the anti-Ivermectin one from CBS Evening News.
	Now, if you want to discredit Ivermectin, which is...
	How many studies are there?
	Hundreds now?
	I think it's over...
	I think at least a hundred.
	And they're all big studies.
	They're in one of those essays I wrote for Substack.
	It's the science essays.
	I wrote it like six months ago.
	And it talks about all these essays.
	I'm sorry, it talks about all these studies.
	And they're all double-blind.
	They're all appropriate studies.
	And it just shows ivermectin is a dynamite.
	Even better, possibly, than hydroxychloroquine as a cure.
	And ivermectin is used for all kinds of purposes.
	By some, some would say it's a wonder drug.
	It's like an aspirin, I think.
	It does more than a few things.
	It's antiviral.
	It's known as a horse wormer.
	People use it for rosacea.
	It's got all kinds of beneficial qualities.
	But of course...
	Oh wait, it's got one quality that's no good.
	What's that?
	Trump.
	They're cheap.
	Yes, cheap and generic.
	And I think that the idea now is there's a couple drugs coming up which will...
	I'd love some of our producers to take a look at what Merck is developing.
	Pfizer also has something in the works.
	I believe they're going to combine things, maybe ivermectin or the molecular structure.
	They're trying to create a new drug that'll do the same thing, is what I think is happening.
	So we have to make sure that we discredit ivermectin and people who take it as a bunch of idiots from states that are in pockets of concern.
	Here in Calhoun County, Arkansas, the vaccination rate is among the lowest in the state.
	Victoria Cormier works at the town feed store and says she's had people buying a gel, It's meant for deworming horses that they're using to treat COVID. So they'll take a horse gel.
	Yes, and put it on a cracker.
	And put it on a cracker, but they won't take a vaccine that's undergoing clinical trials.
	God, ain't that crazy?
	She's talking about ivermectin.
	It's meant for horses, not humans.
	But a lot of humans have tried it and they've wound up in the hospital.
	Ivermectin is not approved to treat COVID. So the FDA warns, don't do it.
	This was so well done, including the gel on a cracker.
	White people.
	Get it?
	It's well proven.
	There's tons of studies on it.
	It will land you in the hospital if you're from Arkansas and you're eating gel on a cracker.
	You are going to die in your pocket of concern.
	And then the woman says she doesn't really mention that these vaccines are experimental and they're not even approved.
	Please.
	Oh.
	What kind of reporting is this?
	Well, it's to discredit ivermectin until the Merck pill comes out.
	Merck is up bat.
	You know, it's their turn.
	Everyone's had a turn.
	Especially the Merck pill is ivermectin plus something else.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	It's going to be a...
	No, it's what it'll be, too.
	But they'll somehow combine it in a unique way that makes it patentable.
	Yes, exactly.
	That's how it goes.
	Totally.
	Totally.
	If only people could be as cynical as we are.
	It would be a terrible world.
	No, that's not true.
	No smiling face.
	No, I disagree.
	When you see the scam, it becomes humorous.
	Especially if you can share that with other people.
	I get to share that with my wife.
	I get to share it with you.
	And it becomes funny.
	And then you're immune to the psychological effect it has on your amygdala.
	What else do you have?
	Well, I have some important news.
	Tomorrow I'm going on the Joe Rogan show.
	I thought tomorrow you were going to take the vaccine.
	I really expected a whole different response from that statement I gave you.
	Okay, I will respond appropriately.
	Great, but what's the reason for the short notice?
	Oh, hello!
	I am the Regis Philbin of the Joe Rogan show.
	You're the Tony Randall.
	I like Regis Philbin better.
	I always thought Tony Randall was more entertaining.
	Ah, but Regis was really David Letterman's guy.
	Regis was always coming.
	Yeah, and Tony Randall was Carson's guy.
	Right.
	Live right down the street from the studio.
	You're a little further away now, but still might as well be right down the street.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And you can come in at the moment's notice.
	I love it.
	Actually, I'm very glad that it happened this way because now...
	You'll be exactly what we described, the Regis or Tony Randall of the Rogan show.
	You'll be on all the time.
	And I'm going to say that.
	I said, thank you, Joe.
	First, you recredited me as the podfather.
	I'm eternally grateful.
	Second, thank you for making me the Tony Randall slash Regis Philbin of the Joe Rogan experience.
	And you got my number.
	That's good to go.
	I think...
	If I'm not mistaken, both Randall and Philbin used that crutch...
	All the time.
	All the time.
	Yes.
	And it worked.
	It's classic.
	So I think it will work if you do exactly that.
	It's classic.
	Because then you'll become known as such.
	Yeah.
	And then it'll be like, oh, cool, Curry's on again.
	Who couldn't make it?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Exactly.
	Share.
	Share canceled.
	Curry's on again.
	Yay.
	Yeah.
	And everyone gets to laugh at my tics and stuff, so it'll be fun.
	It's great.
	It's great.
	Good.
	I think this is the way to go, because now...
	Especially if you saw the New York Times article.
	Holy crap, did you see that?
	No.
	Full page.
	I don't read the New York Times.
	Oh, no, full page.
	Joe Rogan is...
	I used to read it, but then the neighbors stopped getting it, so...
	Joe Rogan is too big to cancel.
	Huge article.
	What does that even mean?
	It's too big to get.
	He's a podcaster.
	Who cares?
	Who cares?
	I don't care.
	I just want to be on the show.
	It'll be great.
	I'm a go-to guy.
	I think I can talk about almost anything.
	Throw a topic at me.
	You're a professional chatterbox.
	Yes, of course.
	That's what we do.
	Oh, I have another hate clip.
	No, you know, I've personally dropped the ball on these hate clips.
	Yeah, it is kind of fun.
	I just forget to do it.
	Yeah, well, I use, right now I'm using CurioCaster.
	And CurioCaster has a real, and Podverse does a good job too, but has a really cool way of setting your in and out points on the clip.
	And then I just email that to myself, and then I, you know, come in, just click on the link, hit play, and the clip is almost perfect.
	So, you know, and...
	It's an easy way to bring the joy of Kara Schwisher and Professor Scott Galloway to the table.
	This was an interesting...
	I listened to this podcast called Pivot because it cringes.
	It's cringey.
	I feel it's important for me to listen to what the extreme radical left is saying.
	They don't think they are, but they are.
	And they're the commercial extreme radical left.
	This is super interesting.
	Yeah.
	They really are.
	I mean, she is...
	They're both extremely wealthy, multi-millionaires, and they just talk like...
	They're the Neiman Marxists.
	This is a perfect example of Neiman Marxists.
	Neiman Marxists, exactly.
	And they're talking about the FTC chair, Lena Kahn, Yeah, exactly.
	And so Amazon wrote a 23-page brief and sent it off and said, hey, you know, Lina Khan, you've written a paper, your dissertation was about Amazon, how it's antitrust, so you have to recuse yourself because you're biased.
	Which is a story unto itself because, well, yeah, of course, you know, that's really good.
	You want someone in there who is biased.
	But where Kara Schwisher took this was astonishing.
	Instead of good arguments, they're saying she has a point of view.
	They should spend their time trying to convince her why she's wrong versus trying to impugn her in this way.
	It's just ridiculous.
	It's so ridiculous.
	They never do it to a man, I don't think.
	I have to say that, you know, and not a woman.
	I don't think this is...
	I do.
	They have never happened.
	There's scuttlebutt and whisper campaigns and things like that.
	But this is a full-on assault, I think, in some ways.
	I think you want to both ways here.
	I think one of the reasons Lena is the FTC chair is because she's a woman.
	Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	I'm going to push back.
	She was a very popular...
	Pick for President Biden who is trying to show the world I am not some white guy from the 50s and 60s.
	No, he just looked a little further.
	He just took a little effort to look around a little wider beyond his group of people.
	I think it was a great choice, but I think that I'm not sure she'd be FTC chair at 34 if she were a man.
	I think this president is committed to having...
	Appointed officials that look, feel, and smell like America, which is the right thing.
	But I don't think...
	Amazon would have gone after...
	If a dude was the FTC chair, they would have gone after him as well.
	I don't think this is...
	Yeah, we'll see if he goes after Tim Wu.
	We'll see what happens here.
	But in any case...
	Professor Wu, that guy's a gangster.
	They should spend their time convincing her she's wrong and changing her mind, which is what you do.
	Just do a Supreme Court justices who definitely change their mind and shift.
	They become more liberal.
	Mostly, they become more liberal when they join the Supreme Court.
	Interestingly enough.
	Look at John Roberts.
	No one thought he would have decisions he's been having.
	He's just been convinced or persuaded or argued at or debated to.
	Or blackmailed.
	Hello, we've all seen the pictures of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts at the Epstein Island.
	He was just convinced.
	She's getting this because she's a woman.
	It would never happen if it was a guy.
	Oh, but she was chosen because she was...
	I mean, do you hear this?
	It's out of control.
	These people are really, really sick.
	And they say it with such conviction.
	And I love the incessant inhale because that really shows that you're thinking about what you're saying, right?
	Maybe that or you have phlegm.
	I got that too.
	Let's just stick with the gender thing for a second.
	We have a note from the official tranny of the No Agenda Show, Ali Jade.
	And she actually, on her email signature, I should say it correctly, her email signature, Ali Jade, reads, The one true official transgender of no agenda.
	Accept no substitutions of quality by going with any other brand of trans.
	Now with Lemon.
	And she says, this is regarding the trans credit card from MasterCard.
	Do you remember that?
	Yes, I do.
	MasterCard with their big, oh, we're so woke, you can now have your name as you identify with on your credit card.
	Well, here's what she says.
	When I did it nine years ago, A card you already had, you had to provide the court name change doc and a license of some type without the name on it.
	New accounts generally need to have your name updated with your social security number as they check the name to the number.
	But no!
	You can't just tell a card or bank you want a different name than your legal name.
	So MasterCard's system is very new.
	When I did it, the hardest and longest job was updating account names.
	What's interesting is that one of our other producers wrote in and said...
	I've put all kinds of crazy names down for my credit card, and it always went through.
	So I'm wondering how the system works.
	I think crazy names.
	I wouldn't mind a crazy name.
	I think what they've done is they've dissociated the name on the card from the number and the details of the person.
	It's doable.
	I can see this.
	It's just a computer toggle.
	I don't put a lot of faith in computers these days.
	Well, you never should, but I think it's doable.
	I think it's very easy to do.
	Before we take a break, you tell me if you're interested in this.
	College reform?
	A campus reform?
	You know, the ones who go out to college campuses and do Man on the Street and then edit it together?
	Yes.
	Which we typically like very much.
	Something we'd all like to do.
	Yes.
	But those guys got a great gig.
	I'll admit that.
	They got a great gig.
	They probably have some kind of cool funding, too.
	I hope so.
	To do that.
	Would you like to hear the most recent episode?
	We can stop it whenever we want.
	You start playing these.
	I'll listen forever.
	This is students from colleges, universities in Washington, D.C. So take that into account.
	They are in the heat of the...
	Of the battle there.
	And they were asked a couple questions.
	Mainly, do you hate your country?
	And then the follow-up question is, can you name a country that's better?
	And then finally, would you like to move anywhere else?
	And these, to a T, because I've seen the video, are all Neiman Marxists.
	They've all got, you know, trendy clothes, the right bag.
	They've all got, you know, smartphones.
	And some of them are shopping.
	They have shopping bags in their hands.
	So while all of this is going on, this is how they talk about our country.
	And I'm, no surprise, it's disheartening.
	Are you proud to be an American?
	No.
	I feel embarrassed to be an American every day.
	I think a lot of things about this country are really embarrassing.
	Just like, I mean, racist history, colonization, even currently, just what's going on with politics and the cops.
	I'm not really in this climate.
	No, like, I'm a black person, so obviously I experience a lot of Uh, you know, there's like oppression that comes with that.
	Um, not most of the time.
	I think sometimes it's just a little embarrassing.
	We claim to like support everyone, but you know, we continue to support Israel, which is, you know, which are dislocating quite a few Palestinian people and that's...
	You know, it's sad.
	I don't know.
	No.
	Be proud of what?
	And what is there to be proud about if you're black and being, like, you know?
	Because it's just like, it's still a lot of stuff that goes on for black people.
	I think that's a complicated question for me.
	I think I... I... I think most of the time, no.
	At least over the past four years, it's been tricky to love to be an American.
	Halfsies on that.
	I love that.
	Halfsies on that, okay?
	I want halfsies.
	This is the new cop-out they use.
	Halfsies on that.
	I think most of the time, no.
	At least over the past four years, it's been tricky to...
	You know, love to be an American.
	Halfsies on that?
	Like, partly.
	Because, like, I feel like there's certain topics where it's, like, very controversial.
	Yeah, controversial!
	It's controversial!
	I just think that our economy just cares about money and not, like, our, like, they're humans.
	Like, yeah, in general.
	And there they are with the shopping bags.
	I wouldn't say that I am as proud as I was, but I would still say there's a little bit of country pride.
	Do you think that America is the greatest country in this world?
	I think, I mean, like, to be a white person, it's pretty good to live here, but, like, overall, I don't think it's the greatest country in the world.
	Oh.
	No.
	No.
	I feel like the American dream is so sought after that it's not even a thing anymore.
	I don't even really think there is an American dream really anymore.
	I mean, like, I would honestly...
	The woman is truly living the exact American dream at At that very moment telling us it doesn't exist.
	We rather kind of live somewhere else.
	I mean, I don't know.
	I'd say that it's like the greatest in like the Olympics.
	Go Olympics.
	I don't know.
	America's not really known for being like the most hospitable place, even though we have a reputation.
	Where it's like you can come here and do what you want to be.
	Not really known, but we have a reputation.
	What are they teaching these kids in school?
	What you're witnessing is exactly what you just asked.
	This is what they're teaching kids in school.
	They hate the country.
	And to actually be walking, talking morons, because as you say, they're all dolled up.
	They got the shopping bags.
	They're living it up and bitching.
	And they're going to tell you what they learned in school.
	They're not even bitching.
	I don't even think this is complaining.
	This is parroting.
	Yes, yes, yes, yes.
	Be what you want to be and do what you want to do.
	It's not really the most welcoming to most people.
	Can you name a country that's more welcoming than the United States?
	Not really.
	I don't really know that.
	I don't really have that much information.
	Can you name a better country than the United States, in your opinion?
	I'm not sure if I can.
	I don't think I can.
	No.
	I mean, there's probably a really tiny European country.
	Oh yeah, Belgium.
	That's thriving.
	Ooh, good question.
	Europe?
	Europe's not a country.
	Well, you get what I'm saying.
	Have you ever considered moving to another country?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I think I had joked about it.
	Like, joked, but was, you know, fully serious.
	Like, oh, I'm going to move to Canada.
	Yeah, I mean, I personally...
	I love to move to Canada.
	You'd still be locked down, girl.
	You would not be shopping.
	You wouldn't be shopping much.
	Likes to help people, so I would actually consider going someplace with more poverty.
	Yeah, probably.
	Would you be willing to give up your US citizenship?
	Yeah, I mean, it's not that necessary.
	I mean, I can still take vacations here.
	This is my favorite.
	Would you give up your U.S. citizenship or your passport?
	Yeah, I can still come on vacation here because, you know, it sucks so bad.
	Definitely, yeah, 100%.
	Actually, yeah.
	Would you say that a college has helped shape your perception of being not proud to be an American?
	I would say yeah, because I went to an HBCU. So yeah, definitely.
	Yes, absolutely.
	So what are they teaching at the HSBU's?
	They're teaching that America sucks instead of, hey, you built part of this country and you can be a big part of it.
	No, America sucks.
	Is that what she just said?
	College has helped shape your perception of being not proud to be an American.
	I would say, yeah, because I went to an HBCU, so yeah, definitely.
	Yes, absolutely.
	I also, I mean, I went to American, which is an extremely, like, liberal bubble school, so I know it's kind of like lots of liberals just preaching to the choir, but I think I learned a lot that I'm from Georgia, and I would have never learned if I had not taken those classes, just about the way the justice system works and zoning laws and everything else, so I think college opened my eyes to a lot of these things.
	There it is.
	Yes, that's the problem.
	Zoning laws.
	No, they're teaching racism.
	That's what they're doing.
	They're saying, oh, everything's racist.
	The zoning laws are racist.
	How the census works is racist.
	That's what they're teaching them, and that's what's sticking.
	It's weak.
	I mean, I don't even know.
	I mean, it's easy to mock these idiots, but once they get out, I think it won't take that long to...
	There's a book by Jacques Elluel, which people should all read.
	How do you spell his last name?
	E-L-L-U-L. Thank you.
	Jacques Elluel wrote this book.
	He wrote a lot of good books.
	The Technological Society is one of my favorite books ever.
	Oh yes, I have that one.
	It's a great book.
	You have to read it from the beginning to the end because he does a building block approach to writing.
	But he's most famous for this book called Propaganda.
	Mm-hmm.
	how propaganda works and how it works within a system.
	And it only works, and he's made this, makes it pretty clear, and I think it's true.
	It only works within closed systems.
	It doesn't work if you're all of a sudden confronted with the actual reality of things.
	And I think once people get out of this, out of the education system, yeah, they're propagandized to a point where they can maybe carry this for a while.
	But at some point, it just breaks down because they look around and they realize that, no, I've been misled.
	I mean, I went to University of California, Berkeley.
	I'm doing this podcast.
	I mean, how does that work?
	What happened there?
	This is an interesting case study.
	What happened that you broke free?
	You got older, just grew up?
	No.
	Well, besides that, I worked for a living.
	I got work experience.
	I mingled with others.
	And I started looking at things objectively.
	And you didn't have a smartphone or incessant television to watch.
	I had incessant television to watch.
	I was a big TV watcher.
	But it was a little different than it is today.
	What was it back then?
	The Little Rascals?
	No, yes.
	The Little Rascals, three networks, and your toys were rocks.
	Rocks.
	And sometimes you get lucky and you find a stick.
	A stick.
	You're good to go.
	We liked it.
	So it doesn't take much more than, you know, the people that don't break loose, they usually stay within a milieu.
	Government.
	They go in government jobs.
	Well, government jobs will do it.
	Or school boards.
	School boards.
	Yep.
	School boards.
	That's exactly what happens.
	And teaching jobs.
	Yep.
	And now, here's a good, before we continue on to our donation, I have a clip.
	Okay.
	About what's going on with the NEA. Oh, the National Endowment for the Arts.
	Yeah, National Endowment for the Arts.
	No, no, the National Education Association.
	Okay.
	So there is a, they want to teach critical race theory.
	They want to keep this thing going.
	And so the clip is interesting.
	I think you've mislabeled it N-O-R maybe?
	Instead of N-E-R? N-O-R is the, it says, that's N-O-R add wow.
	That's not it.
	Oh, sorry.
	Okay.
	Let's see.
	It would be under, maybe CRT. CRT, there it is.
	CRT, push forward, N-E-A, M-T-D. If your organization opposes critical race theory, watch out.
	The country's largest labor union will be looking into you.
	NTD's Alison Lee has the details.
	The country's largest teachers union, the National Education Association or NEA, says it will research organizations that oppose educators doing what they call anti-racist work.
	That's a term often associated with ideas of critical race theory.
	The union announced the plan on the website for their 2021 annual meeting.
	They say after researching those organizations, they will publish a list of resources for state affiliates, local and individual educators.
	These educators can refer to the recommendations when they face opposition for teaching critical race theory.
	The NEA singles out D.C. think tank, the Heritage Foundation.
	Their website says, We need to be better prepared to respond to these attacks so that our members can continue this important work.
	The NEA will spend over $56,000 in addition to their current budget on this project.
	It's not clear when they will publish their findings.
	The union currently boasts 3 million members.
	That makes them the largest labor union in the country.
	Allison Lee, NTD News.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	They're going to blacklist and they're going to do all these things.
	I made it.
	Hey, John, you're degrading for some reason.
	Well, that's because I've been listening to these clips.
	No, you're really degrading.
	You're sounding like a Robocop a little.
	Okay, well let me change networks.
	No, you're good now.
	You're good.
	Stay with me.
	You're fantastic.
	I'm coming back.
	I'm making a comeback.
	I was going to say about that clip, this exact critical race theory is happening all over the world.
	I mean, it's certainly in the EU. It's a Marxist movement, let's face it.
	Yeah.
	Don't think it's just the United States.
	We just happen to have the clips from here because, you know, of our restrictive country that sucks so bad.
	At least we can get this freedom of speech on all sides.
	So we're lucky to be able to play it.
	But in Europe, in the Netherlands, oh my goodness.
	There's a lot of really crazy stuff going on.
	And the Netherlands has never dealt with this.
	Never dealt with any kind of racism, critical race theory.
	The country that you could walk around naked on the beach, the hookers are legal, marijuana is legal.
	Oh, no!
	Oh, that's gone!
	It's unbelievable how they've done this.
	Well, it'll be the subject of many books long after we're gone, I'm sure.
	I have a note from one of our producers about millennial behavior, which ties into this.
	In the morning, listeners since early 2017 have to find the show through Jen Briney.
	All right.
	That's great that it happened that way.
	Donate when able.
	Amazing product.
	Personal background.
	25-year-old male.
	Parents separated and divorced while in middle, early high school.
	One younger brother.
	Mother is public school teacher, has been a public school teacher for 15 years.
	Dad, retired UPS delivery driver, nearly 35 years.
	Also a Teamsters union rep.
	Sounds like a very typical kind of situation for a kid in America.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Seems very middle of the road.
	I've worked at multiple warehouse jobs going from walk on to weekend supervisor in four years, leaving due to a massive lack of staffing and other opportunities.
	Since then, I've done mostly pizza delivery and I'm currently going back to college to get my air traffic control college certification.
	Good for you.
	The millennial work ethic you stated on the show being influenced by social media is definitely.
	Aha!
	Yes.
	My current supervisor at my job is routinely on his phone when there's work that could be done.
	My supervisor turned 21 just last week.
	However, one thing that was not mentioned is what millennials have no motivation to go farther.
	We all recognize it, but I would like to show a cause.
	I know this is not news, but you might as well throw my half-sense in.
	Yes, of course we want to know from you.
	Think about it, he says.
	We're a generation where a plurality of our population lives with their parents, who normally are taking care of us with free rent and an open key to the fridge.
	I'm in this camp due to COVID in college.
	We are a generation with a depleting desire to reproduce, evident in the declining birth rate in the U.S. and the rise of fur babies, as well as miscarriages declining in favor of long-term relationships.
	We are a generation who saw our parents growing up in the last generation of near-full-scale automation and non-dependency on foreign imports.
	Right now, I'm currently looking for a new job, but with college about to finish for me and the eventual entry into my FAATC job, roots are something I find scared of.
	Roots are something I find scared of personally.
	I don't know what he means by that.
	I know.
	Okay.
	He's talking about settling down.
	Ah, gotcha.
	Okay.
	He says, He used to tell me that a salary job will only lead you to working 70 hours a week, and it wasn't worth it.
	And our millennial says, of all things I remember, this has stuck with me.
	The millennials value personality.
	We enjoy a 9-to-5 job so we can leave when we desire.
	It's a big reason why I personally enjoy the delivery work I'm doing right now, even with the drain on my personal car.
	It is honestly very appealing.
	We have no need to save, as short-sighted as that is, with no other miles to feed besides our own.
	That's an important difference there.
	And the ones we decide to feed as well.
	We see no career to enter without major investment of which we feel no motivation to since we have no savings to be able to live off of and push for.
	And we see the industry that brought us forward, our parents sent away to a place we don't care about since we have what we need before us.
	I'm not sure what that means.
	We are incredibly pessimistic.
	I know I am.
	We are hopeless and see the eventual heat death of the universe as the only way the world will end.
	So smoke them while you got them and say, fuck the man, I'm going to die soon in the grand scheme of it all anyways.
	There you go.
	That's reasonable.
	And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the pockets of concern, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. Dvorak.
	Well, in the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also, in the morning, all ships, sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, the name is nice out there.
	In the morning to the trolls in the troll room.
	You can find them and join them.
	Be a troll.
	You might be a troll.
	You might be looking for some trolls that you want to hang out with.
	Go to trollroom.io.
	Trollroom.io is where you want to be.
	All right, trolls, hands up.
	Let's do this now.
	All right, troll count.
	We have 2011.
	2011 trolls standing by today.
	That's pretty good.
	That's on par, right, for a Sunday?
	No, no, it's down 200.
	Damn it.
	But it's the 4th of July.
	It's a holiday.
	I'll never figure it out.
	You always say the same.
	But I don't know what day it is.
	That's why.
	It's very confusing to me.
	I'm surprised we got 2,000 today because it's the 4th of July.
	Exactly.
	You know, they're getting the barbecue ready and burn some meat.
	You can join the trolls at trollroom.io, which is where you can also listen to the No Agenda stream for all of our live shows, which just continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all talk No Agenda.
	If it's not live, then it's a podcast, so you can comment on what you're listening to, or just troll around.
	Do stuff to each other.
	It's fun.
	And you can always follow us at our federated social network, noagendasocial.com.
	Just start with John and myself.
	That'll be at Adam at noagendasocial.com, at John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com.
	It is the best way to join in the Gitmo Nation conversation.
	You just have to have an account anywhere on Mastodon, and you're good to go.
	We are building the Fediverse before our very eyes.
	And we'd like to thank the artist for episode 1360.
	The title of that show was Magnetofection.
	Magnetofection, it's a real thing.
	And the artwork was, I mean, we have a lot to discuss about the art today, so make sure you have a Podcasting 2.0 player.
	Find it at newpodcastapps.com.
	The one that Kenny Ben did, who I think Kenny Ben's real name is Kendra, was the Cosby Limited Edition Jail No packaging, which, you know, how many times do you get to use something like that?
	Yeah, it's not an evergreen.
	No, it's not an evergreen.
	But there was a lot of really decent art.
	Some good art, too.
	Yeah, we thought, at least I thought, I think, there must have been five to six pieces that were all very worthy of being picked.
	Yeah, for sure.
	Let's see.
	Well, the Jail No, which Kenny Ben actually did two versions, one with the chocolate pudding.
	And not everyone understands this, except Bill Cosby being the Jell-O guy is...
	Uniquely American.
	What other things were up here that we liked?
	The New Tang Clan was good.
	The Hill Country was okay.
	You know, just looking at it now, for some reason, when I saw it the first time around, I didn't notice it was bleeding, which was the communist flag.
	Yeah, it was very nice.
	The little, the one I like the most, outside of the Jell-O one, was the little, by Ness Works, the little, it's called Non-Gouging Relief, Non-Gouging Relief 33.
	It's a little pill bottle holding a sign.
	Yeah, cute.
	So cute.
	Yeah.
	He does good, he's a, he does good, he does good work generally.
	Does good work, does good work.
	It does good work.
	I've used his stuff.
	They used one of his pieces, an upcoming piece for the newsletter.
	He does these cartoony things that are quite good.
	It's the kind of stuff Mike Riley used to do, but I don't even know if Mike listens to the show much in real time.
	I don't know what he's doing.
	I really appreciated Taunta Nails' The Keeper Relocation Consultant moving box.
	Although not appropriate for the show, it will be on the letterhead of her new company.
	Keep a relocation.
	Oh, where's that one?
	It's on the first page.
	Down, bottom, left.
	Way at the bottom.
	Oh, the box.
	Yeah, the box, yeah.
	Yeah, that's cute.
	I actually like No Agenda Power 2.
	McPfizer was good.
	There's a lot of good stuff here.
	It's hard, man.
	It's really hard.
	It's hard to pick something good.
	Once in a while, everyone comes up with clunkers.
	We must have had enough buzz.
	I like Crypto Cougar on board.
	It's kind of cute.
	I didn't even dare suggest that one.
	That's from Maria Bartiromo, formerly known as the Money Honey, now the Crypto Cooper.
	Oh, that's right.
	You called her...
	Yeah.
	That's again by Nessworks.
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	He's got a lot of material.
	A lot.
	If it's a he, I assume it's a he.
	It's a zur.
	It's a lot of material.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, Dreb Scott uses a lot of older art for the cloud chapters that we have on No Agenda.
	So it's a use that we never really thought of, but all of this art kind of comes by.
	You know, it's a topic, it's about vaccine, boom.
	Now it's his source, it's his well, that's where he's found.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	That's a good idea.
	Yeah, of course.
	And he goes to the evergreens, yeah.
	The guy does like 30, 40, 50 chapters a show.
	It's a multimedia experience.
	Newpodcastapps.com We need Smell-O-Vision.
	Is there a Smell-O-Vision aspect?
	I think we can add that.
	I think that would be a great namespace tag.
	Smell-O-Vision.
	Sure.
	We're going to thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for this very, very exciting day.
	Not only is it Independence Day, it is also the 5,000th day of the existence of No Agenda.
	We are celebrating our 5K, and we had a number of ways to celebrate that, which you put in the newsletter.
	Yes, I did.
	What were they?
	I forget.
	I can't remember.
	It was 5,000 pennies.
	It was 5,000 dimes, 5,000 pennies, and 5,000 nickels.
	So you can get $500, $250, or $50 to celebrate the show.
	You can give anything you want.
	Well, you could give anything you want, but I'm saying this is the directed ones.
	Yes.
	Well, let's thank some people.
	Why don't I start with Michael Anthony from Rosedale, New York with $1,000.
	In the morning, gentlemen, I somehow hit myself in the mouth a few months ago while desperately searching for podcasts against the lockdowns and other clown world insanity.
	I'd like to know where he was searching, where he...
	Oh, here it is.
	Based on my previous subscription, the Podcast Addict app suggested no agenda.
	That is a Podcast 2.0 app, I believe.
	Podcast Addict.
	So that works.
	It works.
	The code that I put in to suggest us a lot works.
	To be honest, I was thoroughly confused by your wacky format at first.
	When I tried hitting my dad in the mouth, he was just as confused as I was.
	But it helped that John's voice reminded me of Billy West, my favorite voice actor.
	Damn, John!
	That's a compliment!
	I don't know who Billy West sounds like.
	Well, he does all kinds of voices.
	Well, I should get into business.
	Hell yeah.
	Okay, I can do that.
	I can do voices.
	Are you there?
	Are you there?
	And once I understood the Mishigas, No Agenda became my favorite podcast.
	Knighthood was inevitable, so I'm going straight for instant knighthood.
	Wait a minute, don't we have an instant knighthood jingle somewhere?
	Instant night jingle?
	I don't know.
	I don't think so.
	There you go.
	That's not it.
	It said instant night in there.
	It just was inaudible.
	Instant night.
	The show has helped me to laugh even as I gaze into the abyss.
	It's been a particularly tough year because my mom died of a heart attack in mid-2020 and I blame the lockdowns.
	I'm sorry.
	The good news is that my dad has since adopted a ketogenic diet, reversed his type 2 diabetes, and is off all medications again at age 61.
	Congratulations, Dad!
	A carnivore diet did the same for me when I had prediabetes, clinical depression, and hypothyroidism, and got sick every cold and flu season, and every time the weather changed.
	It feels so good to be truly healthy for the first time in my adult life.
	Spreading the keto and carnivore message has become my mission, and people can follow my work at TheMeatOfIt.com.
	TheMeatOfIt.com.
	And he has a podcast.
	I would like to be known as Sir Michael Anthony, the mutton monger, and request mutton and meat, not mead, because of the carbs.
	For that additional meat, I would like some Drewers.
	Drewers?
	Drewers?
	It's Drewers.
	No, D-R-O-E with an umlaut W-O-R-S. Drewers.
	Drewers.
	What is that?
	I have no idea what it is, but he can't wait to hear me pronounce it.
	What is that shit?
	Hold on a second.
	Drovers?
	Maybe it's like a sausage?
	Let me see.
	Drovers is among dried meats being dried quickly in warm, dry condition.
	Mmm, so it's nice and moldy.
	Yes, it's nice and moldy.
	Happy Independence Day.
	Happy 5000th Day.
	Goat karma for everyone, please.
	And sorry for the long notes.
	Okay, it was entertaining.
	We appreciate it.
	And here's your goat karma.
	You've got karma.
	Next on the list is Brett Samuel 667.
	And he's in the Arab Emirates, it seems.
	Hmm.
	Also, please change my title to Circuitous.
	Circuitous, yeah.
	Another Circuitous.
	Circuitous seems to be a major thing.
	I don't know why.
	If this is contested, I suggest a fight to the death.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I'd like to see that, too.
	I'm all in for that.
	Anyway, never mind, he says.
	Despite residing happily in the Middle East, I suspect that claiming anything as an expat would be looked on poorly.
	Instead, I'd like to stake my claim to Brandenburg in South Africa.
	Pin on the map for my sadly challenged birthplace, Brandenburg.
	I wonder what he does in the Middle East.
	He's obviously in, I'm guessing, finance.
	Could be finance.
	Happy 4th.
	Thanks for the fun and games, Brett.
	Thank you.
	We need a report.
	Yes, we do.
	Photos are nice.
	People don't take enough photos.
	Dame S... That was it, yeah.
	Dame Sexy S3XY. A little hacksaw in there in Livermore, Colorado.
	62373.
	And she writes, Dear Sir Howitzer, thanks for making me your keeper in the beautiful Rockies, June 23rd.
	Our time is forever spelled like the herb.
	Love, dame, sexy, moving karma and wedding.
	Is there more to this?
	No, and wedding karma.
	And wedding karma.
	So there was a proposal.
	There was a proposal in the Rockies, June 23rd.
	She said yes.
	Their time is forever.
	She loves them very much.
	And they need moving karma and wedding karma.
	You've got karma.
	Yeah.
	Do you have this note by Gabriel?
	I have part of it.
	Oh, you mean the part that says, look in the email for my note?
	Longer note to follow from my personal email addressed to John.
	Oh, okay.
	I don't have it.
	Do you have it?
	Not that I know of, but I'll look.
	Why don't you read the next couple notes while I look for it?
	Well, the one thing Gabriel from Arvada, Colorado, $500 says, another Rogan donation, so I can certainly roll that out here.
	Rogan donation.
	You got it?
	I've just started looking.
	This very second, I typed in his last name, 5,000.
	Is it Gabriel?
	I think so.
	This might be it.
	Gabriel Chapman.
	He didn't write donation in the subject line, so that makes it a little difficult to get where they belong, but people keep not listening to this piece of advice.
	Mm-hmm.
	Especially his first line, which says, I just donated $500 for the $5,000th episode.
	Following is my note for the show.
	It should come from my PayPal and email address.
	And then he has the name here.
	Hey guys, another Rogan donation coming your way.
	Have not missed an episode since Adam's appearance.
	And frankly, you have the best podcast on the planet.
	Woo!
	Thank you both so much for all that and all you do to keep our amygdala small.
	Been following John since the PC Mag days and Adam at MTV. And I've been a happy participant on No Agenda Social since finding it.
	John, thank you for your recent wine advice via Twitter.
	I am at BaconIsKing.com.
	And please add me to the wine list.
	For brevity's sake, I'll keep this short.
	It's already too long, but I'm keeping it short.
	Thank you both for all you do.
	The following jingles from my six human resources who love them so much when we all listen together.
	The following jingles from my six human resources who love the jingles.
	Yeah, the kids love the jingles.
	Go slow, because I didn't have this, so I'm not prepped.
	Don't worry, I'm good at stalling.
	And we all listen together.
	Don't eat me, Kamala.
	Joe Biden's scary.
	And for my smoking hot wife, Erica, the smoking hot wife jingle.
	Do we have a smoking hot wife jingle?
	Yeah, I know what I mean.
	So don't...
	Hold on a second.
	Don't eat me, Kamala.
	Eat me, Kamala.
	Joe Biden's scary.
	You're scary.
	You're scary.
	Please add some tech startup karma.
	We don't have don't eat me.
	We have don't enslave me, Kamala.
	I think you're right.
	We don't have Don't Eat Me, Kamala.
	We have Don't Enslave Me, Kamala.
	Don't Enslave Me, Kamala.
	What was the second one?
	Joe Biden's Scary.
	That's Don't Eat Me, Bo Jiden.
	So scary.
	So scary.
	Yes, that one.
	Eat Me, Bo Jiden.
	Yes.
	And the third one?
	And then the Smokin' Hot Wife jingle, which I have never heard.
	That's Boogity.
	Boogity, Boogity.
	Thank you for the Smokin' Hot Wife.
	I hate that one.
	Do you hate that one?
	Please, anyway, I'll keep reading.
	Please add some tech startup karma or just a standard karma jingle since I'm sure that one doesn't exist.
	True.
	Yes.
	As I've recently joined my fifth one, and we could use all the help we can get as we look to disrupt the infrastructure space.
	Love is lit.
	Yeah, baby.
	Love is lit.
	Don't enslave me, Kamala!
	Don't eat me, Bojartin.
	You're scary.
	So scary.
	You've got karma. .
	There you go.
	I might not like that one because it's blurry.
	Blurry?
	Yeah, it's definitely compressed blurry.
	It's alright.
	Life is blurry.
	Life is blurry after a while.
	It's blurry.
	Blurry.
	Josh Adair.
	I'm very sensitive to this.
	Josh Adair is 407-76 and he is...
	Also in the Arab Emirates, it seems.
	Or at least he's at some...
	I wonder if these are Fugizotto's guys who he obviously abandoned.
	And they're all missing him and like, well, at least we got the show!
	Maybe.
	I've been listening to the greatest podcast in the universe since March of 2020.
	Probably not Fugizotto's guy.
	Oh wait, March, yeah, March 20th, that's a year ago.
	No, probably not.
	When I was hit in the mouth by my brother.
	Oh, okay.
	I was so hooked from the start that I donated within two weeks.
	We like those people.
	We like you.
	But I've been a listener and a douchebag ever since.
	Please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	I'm not a tightwad, just a horrible procrastinator.
	I will procrastinate no longer.
	Mm-hmm.
	I have been stationed in socialist Germany.
	Ah, he's in Germany.
	Oh, okay.
	Since 2018, and alas, was not available for any of the meetups organized by anonymous goddess in...
	Kaiserslautern.
	Kaiserslautern.
	Jawohl.
	Very good.
	Sehr gut.
	A sad face.
	I do, however, look forward to returning to the land of the free this fall, where I will serve my last assignment and hang it up for retirement.
	But more importantly, obtain my barony to retire to it.
	Rebelizer Jingle and an Independence Day Karma for All.
	America and 73s KD2 TKF. Oh yeah, Kilo Delta 2, Tango Kilo Fox, 73s, Kilo 5 Alpha, Charlie Charlie, and, oh I'm sorry, John's license has expired.
	I can screw you.
	I'm good for two years.
	Tango Delta 2.
	Standby.
	33, 33, 33.
	Rubbleizer out.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Patriot Karma, as requested.
	Jennifer Slayer, 333.39.
	She's from...
	Sayer.
	Sayer, thank you.
	I was like, that's a great DJ name, Jennifer Slayer with ya.
	Jen Slayer on the mic, on the wheels of steel.
	But it's Sayer, okay.
	Although I was damed on 12-27-2020 under the Suronymous special offer, I was not given a title.
	Now that I've thrust myself over the $1,000 line in my own right, as promised, could I claim the title of Dame Jen of the Free Republic of England, please?
	I think that's no problem.
	I think you have it.
	I have delayed requesting my ring and certificate as I thought it was the honorable thing to do.
	I had fulfilled my promise.
	Wow.
	That's very, very nice of you, Dame Jen.
	Future Dame Jen.
	Thank you for all your hard work in teaching me how to see through the M5M BS. Very best wishes to Adam and Tina in their new home.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate it.
	We're very, very happy.
	Love and light, Dame Jen XX. Thank you, Dame Jen.
	The jingles.
	Jason Forcia.
	I would have pronounced it Forcier.
	Yes, classy in that way.
	But no, it's Forcia.
	And it's in Tempe.
	He, it.
	He's in Tempe, not it.
	3333.
	Classic.
	In the morning, John and Adam, this past February, following Limburg's, Limbaugh's, Limbaugh's, Rush Limbaugh.
	Limburg's.
	Limburg's.
	Death, I reached out to my buddy Dave Smithson, who I would also like to call out as a douchebag.
	Douchebag.
	Without a beat, he hit me in the mouth.
	He gave me the sole recommendation of no agenda because he needed a substitute for Rush.
	Since then, I haven't missed an episode and I don't even bother with the radio anymore.
	All right, now you're talking.
	Mm-hmm.
	A couple of reasons why.
	One, we don't go into long, lengthy commercials and we don't repeat the themes of the show.
	We have a clip list and we play the clips and that's it.
	We drop the subject unless we maybe miss a clip, but we don't Reiterate the whole show over and over again, like those three-hour talk shows on radio, they do that.
	And Rush is one of the, he does it.
	And they have to, because the medium of podcasts is just different.
	It's listening on your own terms.
	So you get more or less three whole shows per show, if you compare it to Rush's whole show.
	Yeah, conservatively speaking.
	With this donation, he continues, of 333.33, I'd like to request a dedouching.
	Okay.
	You've been dedouched.
	He wants one for him, but he wants another one for Dave.
	Okay.
	You've been dedouched.
	Please credit me with a donation at 259.12 and Dave with 7421 toward our future knighthoods.
	Please keep up the great work bringing us the best podcast in the universe.
	Thank you for all you do and please stay safe.
	R2D2Karma, please sincerely, Jason Forcier.
	Yes, you got it.
	Stay safe!
	You've got karma.
	Brian Brown in Rome, New York.
	Where is Rome, New York?
	33333.
	Upstate, baby.
	You said baby one too many times.
	I would like this 333.33 donation credited to my son, Liam.
	His 26th trip around the sun begins on July 4th, so having him put on the birthday list would be nice.
	Yeah.
	It'd be nice.
	For jingles, how about a goat karma and a biscuit for my birthday?
	Thanks.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Oh, sorry.
	Misfire.
	Misfire.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Game Swanee.
	How I love you.
	33333.
	Yeah, that's showing my age, isn't it?
	Showing my age, baby.
	Oh, wow.
	Can you turn your speakers down just a tad, John, or move the microphone or something?
	It is July 4th, and we are still sitting on our deck listening to the greatest podcast in the universe.
	My husband, an actual dude named Ben, asked me about his status on the No Agenda show.
	Sadly, I had to tell him he was just a commoner.
	Last year...
	This is good.
	Can you imagine?
	I can see the conversation.
	Last year, he gifted me my damehood, of course.
	His lack of loyalty is an unacceptable situation for two people who have just celebrated their 43rd anniversary, and they never had a fight!
	Therefore, I have decided to initiate his first installment towards his knighthood in honor of my 70th birthday this July 4th.
	A special thanks to the both of you for providing the show on Independence Day and making my birthday perfect.
	Please put this amount to his account, credit, Dame Swanee's husband.
	And she's got some info there.
	We'll do the accounting.
	Yes, exactly.
	Lately, we've been listening to No Agenda Show podcasts from the past and are amazed at the insight and relevance they provide to what is going on in the world now.
	We continue to be grateful for, you know...
	Please use one of those Podcasting 2.0 apps and if you find something that's really cool as a flashback, I wouldn't mind hearing that.
	Yeah, there you go.
	There you go.
	That's how you're thinking.
	Indeed.
	Kidneys, baby.
	Kidneys.
	Pre-material.
	This is how it works.
	Everyone needs to produce.
	We continue to be grateful for all the effort, deconstruction of the news, insight, truth, and humor that you put into every episode.
	Truly, the No Agenda Show is the greatest podcast in the universe.
	My husband would enjoy some Al Sharpton Respick, that's true, and give everyone a goat karma.
	Thank you very much, Dame Swanee.
	R-E-S-P-I-C-T. That's true.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	Huh.
	Steve Weiss in Lost Wages, Nevada, 333.
	And he says, this is our second donation as we make our way towards knighthood.
	Yay.
	Stephen and Stephanie from Vegas.
	I think I met them.
	Yes, I met them.
	It says right here they did.
	They remember you.
	Met Adam at the meetup last year.
	The super spreader event.
	The lady of the house has been back working at the big Scandinavian circus company here in town.
	Ah, yes.
	That would refer to?
	Cirque du Soleil.
	Cirque du Soleil.
	My work as an audio mixer is really picking up.
	Good.
	Well, quit dropping stuff on the floor.
	Her company is pushing for 100% vax.
	Yeah, of course, Canadian companies, Cirque du Soleil.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	You see the contortionists with big lumps on their arms.
	Interesting that across the company, it seems that the Eastern Euro Russian performers are refusing the vax.
	That's probably half the act right there.
	You can tell the Russian performers from the Canadians, the Canadians, they stick to the metal bars.
	She has a med note from a doctor, so she is not getting the jab.
	I'm canceling my Sirius radio and going to put that monthly fee towards a no agenda show.
	Thank you.
	A fine recommendation, by the way.
	Everyone should do that.
	Over the last year, you both have been a voice of calm in our brains.
	I don't know what it would be or have been like without the info from the show.
	I imagine we would have been sheep like most others and fallen for the Big Pharma Boogaloo.
	I've never heard it described as that, but I like it.
	I like it.
	The Big Pharma Boogaloo.
	Cool.
	And a call out to Jay and Josh in Nashville to donate.
	Stop being D-Bags in Spain.
	Dealer's choice on whatever karma, etc.
	you want to play.
	Okay, well how about a goat?
	A goat is always good.
	You've got...
	Karma.
	I like it.
	Big pharma boogaloo.
	You do the next ones, I'll do the long one.
	Josh Gandlin at 333.
	And he just says...
	Just want to say thanks for the sanity.
	Nice.
	Yeah, thank you.
	And then there's another one that's short.
	Let's play that.
	Sir, sort it out at 3.33 in the morning from...
	It's the shortest one on the list that you screwed it up.
	Well done.
	Reset.
	Sir, we can do it in post.
	Sir, sort it out 3.33 and he writes, in the morning from Sir, sort it out.
	People will never know that you messed it up.
	Fix it all in post.
	Lorraine Converse from Dallas, Texas, 333.
	And asks for the jingle, JCD's How Can They Just Lie Like That?
	I do not recall.
	I cannot find.
	It's not a jingle.
	No.
	I think you just have to say it.
	And the Laptop of Terror.
	And the Goat Karma.
	The Laptop of Terror we have.
	In the morning, John and Adam, thank you for being in good spirits throughout the COVID hysteria and Orange Man bad fervor.
	You are amazing!
	This donation brings me a little closer over the halfway mark I humbly request that I'm able to...
	The halfway mark to her novel?
	Yes, I guess so.
	I humbly request that I'm able to place on hold the following title, Dame Brazen Bird, before another dame claims the title.
	Is that possible?
	Yes, you got it.
	No questions needed.
	Wow.
	The peerage committee is in a good mood today.
	That's because the night names are duplicable.
	We've said it a million times.
	Yeah, so now someone else could take that.
	They wouldn't be taking a different version of the same person.
	Or no.
	Never mind.
	I would be farther along in my donations, but our credit union has tight restrictions on transactions that are, quote, out of the ordinary.
	Being as such, they notified my husband of a transaction going to JCD. I can just imagine this.
	When my husband was called by the bank, he reached out to me and asked, who is this John C.? Hey!
	Who is this John C. you're sending money to?
	What do you need to pay him?
	I flippantly said John was a mentor of sorts, which gave my husband a pause.
	Then he realized I was just teasing.
	John is known as my guru, who will occasionally get paid.
	We got a laugh out of that incident, and this donation is a long time coming.
	I wish I could donate more.
	Well, how about that, John?
	Well, I think, I wonder how that happened, because that's not the way it's...
	It doesn't go...
	But the old legacy account, which I'm trying to get rid of...
	Oh...
	Okay.
	It goes into the same pot, but it's just like, you know.
	Yeah.
	I still think it's a funny story.
	I like it.
	We consider ourselves refugees of the junta as we recently moved from little Beirut, a.k.a. Portland, Oregon, when my position to open up for remote work and my husband was able to take advantage of traveling nursing contracts.
	Our twin daughters were able to flee transfer to Oklahoma State University when the university they were attending continued to be online.
	They are doing well, but we've had to reset our family budget due to the unexpected expense of paying out of state tuition.
	To add to our already skint resources, we have recently discovered that they will both need to take an additional year of college because many of the courses they previously completed are not transferable.
	If you could give them goat karma, I'd appreciate it.
	One of my daughters is studying to be a mechanical engineer, and the other is a double major in economics and applied mathematics.
	Whoa!
	A couple of smart kids.
	Yes, yes.
	Well, of course.
	Their parents are smart, too.
	Well, at least they didn't send them to the University of Arkansas.
	Don't say these things, John.
	It's so wrong.
	I'd like to say hello to Eric and his wife.
	We had previously met Eric the shill and my daughter and he hit it off.
	So, she wants to be invited to a dinner with John and Eric to debate economics.
	I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.
	Eric and his wife are amazing.
	I think that that should happen.
	That should take place and it will be recorded for prosperity.
	We'd also like some home buying karma as well.
	We are in an apartment in Dallas currently, but we hope to move to a smaller town.
	Adam, you are not wrong about your observation with living in pet-friendly apartment.
	It can be disgusting when neighbors don't pick up after their pets.
	These same people wear masks and cross the street or cling to the walls of hallways as I pass by without wearing a mask, but they have no issue with the flies and fecal matter that are surrounding the internal and external areas of the building.
	Yep.
	Yep.
	Welcome to apartment living.
	Yep.
	So, John, if you can deliver your line, and I'll do the Jingle on the Goat Karma.
	What was the line again?
	How can they just lie like that?
	Oh, yes, of course.
	Give me a cue.
	Cue.
	Give me a motivation.
	Okay, you're really, you're incredulous.
	You cannot believe that this is taking place.
	Oh, okay.
	I got it.
	I'm ready now.
	Great?
	Yeah, go.
	Three, two, one.
	How can they lie like that?
	The Terror of Laptop.
	You've got karma.
	That, by the way, was highly clippable.
	Well done.
	I'm going to ISO that.
	Good.
	Well done.
	Joshua Huffman's next on the list with one one-hundredth the note.
	$300 from Blue Springs, Maryland.
	Thank you for who you be.
	Thank you for how you be.
	Overall, thank you for all that you be.
	These are notes I stand behind.
	I'm liking that note.
	Joe Campagna is next on the list from Ontario, California.
	And he, where the airport is, 25190, nice little airport as a matter of fact.
	I would like to be known as the Independence Day Knight.
	I would appreciate some R2D2 karma.
	Nothing below here needs to be read during the show, but it's so fine we're going to read it.
	I'm very pleased I finally donated to enough to make it to night level.
	In fact, I've discovered that overshot to 11111.33.
	Sweet.
	This is somewhat sad because I have been a listener producer since the very early on, probably since show one.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	There were very few dry years after I began to listen to donating.
	My accounting's below.
	He's got the accounting.
	Joe Companion, so we put him on the list.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	You've got...
	Sir Christopher Kessler.
	Sir Christopher Kessler.
	He's a baron.
	He's from Marshfield, Wisconsin.
	250.
	Our second associate executive producer for this Independence Day podcast.
	And he says, Barron, no jingles, no karma.
	There you go.
	Eric Remington, also 250.
	And this is the 5,000 shows, 5,000 days times a nickel.
	And says, happy 5,000 days.
	Thank you very much.
	So that little gimmick produced two donations.
	Well done!
	Lots of good art, though.
	Yeah, got art.
	We got art.
	Daniel Paselt, I'm not sure, 23333.
	And he says, it's been a while, so please dedouche me.
	We can do that.
	You've been dedouched.
	And also de-douche his son.
	You've been de-douched.
	He says he accidentally hit him in the mouth, the son, while homeschooling this winter.
	Please also put him, Rowan Paselt, on the B-Day list.
	Got it.
	He's on the B-Day.
	Get off the B-Day.
	Hey, men don't belong on the B-Day.
	It's for women.
	The Little House Buying Karma, please keep up the great work.
	You've got karma.
	Rich and Meg Hufford in Phoenix 218.
	Prime support for the best podcast in the universe.
	218.
	Is that a prime number?
	Oh, you don't know what it is.
	The show number was the prime number.
	Oh.
	Which is 1361.
	It's in the newsletter.
	Right.
	And it's the 218th prime number.
	Oh, good one.
	So this is creative.
	Very creative.
	So I like it.
	There's never been a more critical time to help carry the load that the two of you generate.
	Amazing what we pick up on during a third or fourth listen of an episode.
	Us two.
	Yeah, really.
	That's what we do with our clips.
	We listen to the clips two or three times and go, oh my God, he said what?
	Yeah, I can't believe it.
	Karma for all.
	Peace, Rich and Meg in Phoenix.
	You've got karma.
	Rebecca Kirkpatrick from Meridian, Idaho, 205.74.
	I am Veril K.P. Veril's spouse, K.P. He beat me to the 16-year anniversary donation.
	So here's another.
	Please de-douche KP and give him the credit.
	You've been de-douched.
	I am a JRE convert, and after a few attempts, I was successful at hitting KP in the mouth, just in time for him to deploy.
	While he was away, no agenda gave us something to converse about for the eaves, or for the eavesdroppers.
	Oh.
	Isn't that interesting that we see this a lot, I think with Fukuzoto as well, and with many of our producers who are in military and are serving overseas or separated from their spouses, that the No Agenda show gives them something to talk about, and they can listen to it separately, but then talk about it together.
	I really love that.
	I love knowing this.
	Bill Gates used to do dates like that.
	Okay, I'm just going to leave that one hanging in the air.
	People are going to wonder.
	It is 16 years of marriage and 14 years of following him from home pillar to foreign post.
	I will gladly continue to follow.
	Jingles, 4th of July.
	Yes, I've got some patriot karma.
	And what was the other one here?
	Oh, shape-shifting Jews.
	And are you going to tell us about the Bill Gates dating?
	Because you have piqued my interest.
	Bill Gates used to date occasionally, do virtual dates.
	He'd call them because he was busy doing something else.
	He couldn't do it.
	He'd be saying, let's both watch this movie and then we'll talk about it on the phone.
	And he would do that with a lot of women or just with the VC lady?
	That part of it, I don't know how many women he did it with, but it was not uncommon.
	Huh.
	Well, she adds, thanks for shrinking the amygdalas twice a week.
	And side note, will you add our human resource to the birthday list on July 20?
	Hannah will be 12 years old.
	Of course, consider it done.
	You've got Karma .
	you Lindsay Fox is next on the list and she's in...
	Where is this?
	Thorpe?
	Thorpe.
	Thor She's in Thorpe Wissiken.
	Greetings in the morning from the west central Wisconsin where we are living our best lives and doing the work.
	I learned about your fine...
	We just kind of lost track of the doing the work meme.
	I learned about your fine programming when my cousin Chad returned to our...
	I should have maybe a little Wisconsin in there.
	Chad returned to our fourth generation family business three years ago.
	This is why they call you Billy West.
	You are a man of a thousand voices.
	Billy West.
	I'm going to have to look him up now.
	Oh yeah.
	We turn our fourth generation family business two years ago to September.
	Fast forward to the start of the current debacle in February, March 2020, when Chad started sharing things that weren't, I'd say it starts to deteriorate a little bit, a little bit of kind of New York, though maybe Jersey, not sure, that weren't being discussed in the mainstream media or even the alternative formats I was following.
	We thought it was a bit off his rocker.
	But then it was all coming true.
	I started listening and thoroughly enjoyed being in the know.
	And spreading the word of the No Agenda to anyone who will listen to reason.
	About a month ago, I learned Chad had yet to donate monetarily.
	I was shocked.
	And I knew I needed to do something about this.
	In the defense, he doesn't send clips.
	He does.
	He does send clips.
	Oh, he does send clips.
	I'm sorry.
	Which I am aware counts for something.
	So I guess he isn't a complete douchebag like myself.
	We would like to make this donation in recognition of No Agenda's 5,000th day, the 4th of July, and all the things that make the United States of America the best country in all space and time.
	This has been a long time coming.
	I've been trying to figure out how this donation business works, and I hope the $200.01 covers the following requests.
	One, please de-douche Chad.
	You've been de-douched.
	Two, please de-douche me.
	It's finished.
	You've been de-douche me.
	Three, for good measure, we'd like the jobs karma and we've been looking since mid-March for something or someone to join our team.
	And finally, if appropriate, please throw in your karma of choice for our business.
	NOLA Checks Meets.
	No, it checks meats.
	We are looking forward to bringing Chad on board as an owner this year.
	Just need to find the time to sign the paperwork with my Uncle Kelly and myself.
	We are beyond humble to carry on the legacy.
	My great-grandfather began over 70 years ago.
	We work with the best team of people and have the greatest fans and customers.
	I am proud to live the dream every day and couldn't imagine what else I would do with my time.
	Thank you gentlemen for your courage for doing the work and being a beacon of reason and truth.
	The community you've created is inspiring.
	Wow.
	Good read.
	Excellent.
	Well done.
	I'm sure she's going to think it was great.
	I'm sure she will.
	Of course she will.
	She won't.
	So that's, what is it?
	Nola Chex meets, everybody.
	Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
	Let's vote for jobs!
	Yay!
	Last one on the list.
	Final Associate Executive Producer for Independence Day 2021 comes from Anonymous in New York, New York.
	$200.
	I am putting the last $200 in to be a knight.
	I would like to be named Sir Sutton, if that is available.
	Yes, it is.
	As you see below, I keep asking to be anonymous, but you keep announcing my name.
	You need to tighten up internal controls.
	I really do not want to hear my name on Sunday's show.
	I guess we succeeded.
	That said, the reason you have any of my money is that you produce an outstanding product that I am happy to support.
	I will note that I've canceled my subscription to The Economist after 30 years.
	It had just become...
	Too globalist and woke without any balance.
	The editor spends too much time in Davos and she drank their Kool-Aid.
	Yes, you identified that.
	We've noticed this when she took over the place.
	Yeah.
	A horrible person.
	Where did she come from?
	What was her backstory?
	Do you remember?
	I'd have to look it up now.
	We talked about it when she...
	This is like a number of years back when she got this job.
	Well, thank you.
	That is another excellent suggestion.
	Cancel your Sirius.
	Cancel your Economist.
	I'm sure everyone has something somewhere that they can cancel and support the work, for us doing the work right here.
	And that's truly how it works, because this is a value-for-value show.
	We pioneered the whole concept 14 years ago, and the way it works, since there was a question earlier...
	Just whatever it's worth to you.
	And I can't tell you.
	John can't tell you.
	Make it meaningful to you and send that to us.
	It's that simple.
	Notes appreciated.
	If you're going to send them by email, put donation in the subject line.
	And thank you so much for producing episode 1361 of the best podcast in the universe.
	If you'd like to participate for our next one, go to dvorak.org.
	Slash N-A Thanks again for your time, your talent, your treasure, the value for value model for the No Agenda Show!
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Order!
	Order!
	Shut up, slave!
	Shut up, Steve.
	All right.
	There was something that I was going to follow.
	We were talking about just before we...
	And it was a small, short clip.
	Something you were going to play?
	Well, no, we were talking about something, about millennials or something.
	I had a short clip I wanted to play before we went into the donations.
	Meghan Markle?
	No, no, that's...
	I'm just trying to think...
	No, but let's play this Meghan Markle clip, because this is...
	But, you know, this requires the jingle we rarely play.
	Oh!
	Which is the real news jingle.
	Wow!
	Yes, we haven't played that in...
	Oh, man.
	Years.
	Years.
	Years, I think.
	Yeah.
	All right, let's give it a shot.
	And now, back to real news.
	A new report is claiming palace insiders believe Meghan Markle is an unhinged sociopath.
	On Sunday, the Times published a bombshell new report which detailed a series of allegations against Meghan and insisted she herself was not a victim of bullying.
	These allegations include the Duchess of Sussex's staff thought she was a complete narcissist and sociopath who was basically unhinged.
	It also alleged she humiliated and shouted at her staff.
	The report revealed Prince William was made aware of the serious allegations and detailed that William requested to be separated from Meghan on a day-to-day basis.
	Royal expert Robert Lacey reports Prince William threw Prince Harry out of their shared household following a fight about Meghan.
	The historian claimed the brothers' relationship hit a major low in 2018 when they clashed over those bullying allegations.
	Last year, he published a book about the fallout between William and Harry and is now releasing a new issue of the title that includes further claims.
	Back in March, the Times broke the news that Meghan was facing bullying allegations from palace aides.
	The Daily Mail reported shortly after that, Meghan's team denied those allegations and asked to see evidence supporting the claims.
	But Buckingham Palace previously said claims against the Duchess of Sussex would be fully investigated.
	However, today the Times said that that investigation is ongoing and could be delayed until 2022.
	Wow, I hope everyone used that minute and a half to go to the bathroom.
	Now, no.
	It's too good.
	And you demean these clips, even though it is real news.
	Oh, I didn't mean to demean it.
	I don't want to go sensitive.
	A couple of things to note.
	I don't know what it is, but they hate her in Australia.
	That was Sky News Australia.
	Well, I can tell you why.
	The whole thing started when she went down with Harry and they did the exact same Lady Di tour just before she said, oh, we have to leave.
	So they gave them the exact same Lady Diana treatment down there and they did not like how that worked out.
	The Royalist.
	Yes, the Royalist.
	Yes.
	Right after that is when they split, when they left.
	Oh, it's horrible.
	I'm being, I'm being, whatever.
	She does look like the type that would shout at the staff.
	Yeah, I think so too.
	She just has that look about it.
	She doesn't understand that you don't do that.
	They probably pee in her food.
	Wow, that's a variant I hadn't heard of.
	And so, but Sky News has got a number of, I really like watching it, the Australians, especially these analysts, they hate her, and they really hate Joe Biden.
	Yes, I've seen that too.
	And I'd like to know why they hate Joe Biden so much.
	I think it's funny.
	Yeah.
	Well, it's only the Sky News.
	Can someone, some Australian producer, tell me why Australian Sky in particular, but does the rest of the Australian media hate Joe Biden?
	Well, but it's Sky, right?
	Sky that hates blowjoys.
	Yeah, this is Sky.
	It's true, but Sky I get mostly, but I'm not seeing anything positive coming from ABC, Australian Broadcasting, or any of these other outlets.
	They're too busy propagandizing the people of Australia to shut up, wear a mask at your house.
	Shut up and get inside.
	And wait for your vaccine.
	Yeah, of course.
	They've got other things to do.
	They have a job.
	Anyway, so I thought that was worth playing.
	It's always worth playing.
	Are you kidding me?
	This is a psycho.
	You have...
	I'm glad you have this because I was looking at the...
	At the news, and the top of the news is this unprecedented heat, hundreds dead, a town destroyed, climate change is frying the northern hemisphere!
	Now, before we play this clip, which is a global warming clip, We have to remember, somebody said it, one of our producers sent this to both of us, a reminder with some headlines, a reminder that in 2003, which is 17, 18 years ago, 18 years ago, that's when the big heat wave hit Europe and killed 14,000.
	No, no, 14,000 in France, 70,000.
	70,000 in Europe total.
	70?
	Killed 70?
	Now we're moaning and groaning about 14 dead.
	But the sidewalk is melting!
	70,000 were killed.
	And they were saying the same thing.
	Oh, this is the global warming beginning of the end.
	And nothing happened for 18 years.
	And now we have a little West Coast anomaly, which happened up in the Pacific Northwest, which amuses me to no end, because Portland and even Port Angeles, Washington, were scorched.
	Well, I'm sitting here, I haven't seen the sun for four days.
	Still not out.
	Oh, so 4th of July is going to be hazy again this year?
	Oh, there's no 4th of July.
	Yeah.
	No, but if I can't see the...
	No, I can't see anything.
	I can't see San Francisco.
	So it's going to be a dud.
	But let's play this clip.
	This week, officials in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada are blaming the extreme heat that gripped much of the region in recent days for hundreds of deaths.
	The worst of that particular heat wave has passed, but experts warn that excessive heat will be a growing problem around the globe going forward, including here in the US. Here's Paul Schramm with the Climate Health Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
	Climate change is causing heat waves in the United States to be more frequent and more intense.
	And as we've just seen in the Pacific Northwest, those heat waves pose a big risk to human health.
	Heat is one of the most dangerous natural disasters that we have.
	And a recent study actually estimated that upwards of 12,000 people die each year from heat waves.
	Dr.
	Renee Salas is an emergency medicine physician at Massachusetts General Hospital.
	As we get exposed to heat, our body has ways to dissipate it and to keep us cool.
	But when we are exposed to certain environments and certain extreme temperatures, sometimes our body just can't keep up.
	Yeah, this is really good.
	And I have to hand it to TPTB, the powers that be.
	They do a great job.
	You just bring it back.
	You just change the dates.
	You just keep rolling with it.
	Not a problem.
	Keep on going.
	In 2017, we had the following report.
	So this is four years ago.
	I'm here at the visitor center.
	At St.
	Mary Visitor Center at Glacier National Park.
	There's a very large panorama display here that shows the park.
	With lots of lights, and it's describing goodbye to the glaciers, basically suggesting that computer models indicate glaciers will be gone by the year 2020.
	So that was, the computer models had shown in 2017 the glaciers would be gone by 2020.
	Of course, the glaciers are not gone.
	They actually removed that entire exhibit because it was bogative.
	I didn't realize they did remove the issue.
	Oh yeah, they removed it all.
	This is the problem they were making.
	They've been making it for years.
	This is going to happen and that's going to happen.
	Children in the UK will only know snow in snow globes by 2000.
	Yeah, and by the year 2000, the West Side Highway in New York is going to be completely underwater, according to the guy who started the global warming thing.
	Yeah, thing.
	You know, the thing.
	The thing.
	Yeah.
	The Hanson guy.
	Hanson's the one who said that.
	By the year 2000, the West Side Highway in New York is going to be completely underwater.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, it's not.
	Well, they've learned.
	They've learned to change these dates, make it a little bit more reasonable and believable.
	But this is a fantastic report because of the incessant climate change.
	I'm going to tell you what you see in the first half of this report.
	The second half is a guy in a chopper.
	The first half is they're fixing the ski slopes.
	Can I correct you?
	Sure.
	I'm going to correct you.
	They don't care about the fact that they keep making these mistakes because nobody pays attention.
	Well, I think it's a good hedge.
	You'll tell me when you hear what they say in this report.
	But the main point is all the video is of the Alps.
	Now you have the Italian Alps and there's lots of great skiing.
	And they are trying to preserve...
	They don't say it.
	They're trying to preserve the ski situation.
	But this is how the report goes.
	Summer in the Italian Alps.
	And a desperate race against time.
	In a bid to delay the snow melting, climate experts in northern Italy are now shielding the endangered Presena Glacier with massive sheets of cloth and covering some 120,000 square meters.
	Authorities say around 70% of the snow can be saved over the summer with the protective cover aimed at reflecting the sun's rays.
	The best thing we can do is to extend the lifetime of these glaciers by some years, but really not much more than that.
	In the Alps, climate change and the increase in global temperature is threatening ski resorts and livelihoods.
	ABC's James Longman witnessed glaciers melting at an alarming rate on Mont Blanc, western Europe's highest mountain.
	So now this guy is flying around in the chopper with his Ray-Bans on and the door is open.
	He's leaning out.
	He's showing what's going on here.
	We often think of climate change as taking place on the outer reaches of our world from Greenland, the Antarctica, islands and the Indian Ocean.
	But what's happening here on Mont Blanc shows that the changes are happening much closer to home.
	Oh, my God, John.
	I want that job so bad.
	I want to be...
	Around the world, global warming is causing glaciers and sea ice to melt at a rapid rate.
	One geologist based in Italy telling us that if the trends continue, future scenarios predict that a majority of the world's glaciers could be gone by the year 2100.
	An alarming prediction.
	All right, Julia McFarlane, thank you.
	An alarming prediction.
	The world's glaciers could be gone by 2100.
	An alarming prediction.
	I like it.
	An alarming prediction.
	Alarming.
	Let's debunk some of this bullcrap, shall we?
	We played Erin Burnett on the last show with our Secretary of Energy in the United States.
	Her name is Granholm.
	And this is the last bit of what she was talking about.
	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 are losing inches and inches of beaches.
	We know that we're losing inches and inches of beaches, not just in Florida, but all around.
	Michigan, where I'm from, we've seen the loss of beaches because the waters are rising.
	Okay.
	So, gee, you'd think that we have some producers in Michigan who would deliver us a boots-on-the-ground report about this horrible beach loss and rising water in Lake Michigan.
	Turns out we do.
	First report, I just heard the clip from yesterday's No Agenda of Granholm talking about the beaches of Lake Michigan and the water level rise.
	She's full of crap!
	The water level rose the last few years due to heavy snow in Canada and the upper Great Lakes.
	If Lake Superior was heavy ice melt, it makes its way down to Lake Michigan and the lake level rises.
	We have had to move a couple houses away from the bluff, but this is a cyclical process.
	Houses were falling in the lake in the 70s and 80s.
	People still kept building as close as possible to the lake.
	When I was in high school in the 2000s, they were talking about the Great Lakes drying up as the lake levels were low and everyone decided to build closer to the water.
	I get the feeling that since the lake is down 16 inches this year and will continue on this cycle, people will forget and build closer to the water again and we can revisit this problem in the future.
	There's even some plots of land from the 90s that are for sale yet fully submerged underwater.
	Best price!
	Miss Price.
	Second note, listen to 1316, where the clip about the water levels rising everywhere reminded me of my teenage years, 2006 to 2010, where the news was all about the declining record low levels of lake water because of global warming!
	We need one of those reports.
	Where low levels?
	Yeah, low levels because of global warming.
	Making it evaporate, in other words.
	Yeah, we need a report.
	Then in 2011 through 2014, Chicago had record-level winter storms, one of which shut down Lakeshore Drive for two days.
	That was the time around the country when the polar vortex stuff got played again as a result of global warming.
	Now, Lake Michigan is up to record high levels, and that is blamed on global warming.
	It's incredible how everything is blamed on climate change, and they just pivot to each event as a result of global warming.
	Yeah, that's what you do.
	Yeah.
	What's the point of it?
	One world government.
	One world government, which resulted in the Paris Accord, which I guess we're paying for some of it as U.S. taxpayers.
	We're paying for most of it.
	World leaders, philanthropists, and organizations have pledged at least $40 billion at an international conference in Paris to boost gender equality.
	What's that got to do with climate change?
	Exactly.
	The summit is about change, you see.
	Not just climate change, it's about change.
	I have received a few good reports regarding our last rain stick execution, in particularly Oregon, Colorado.
	I don't know, I think, how's the Northwest doing?
	Any rain up there?
	No.
	No rain up there.
	So, California, any rain, or is that still not working?
	Fog.
	You posted something in the newsletter about the reservoirs in California being drained.
	Now, what I heard, maybe you should explain it again, or if you don't mind explaining what's going on, because they're now rationing water because you have no water.
	I don't get it.
	We have all these reservoirs in California.
	There's tons of them.
	And for some reason, and the idea is, we know what the situation is in California.
	You go a year, it rains all the time, day after day for like three or four months.
	It fills these things to the top.
	And then you, am I still here?
	Yeah.
	Yes, you are.
	You have to mumble more.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	So they fill up.
	And so then you have two or three years, two years, usually about two years of drought.
	It's almost every other year, but then once in a while it goes two years of lots of rain or two years of lots of drought, no rain.
	So this year we have no rain.
	We had probably half of our normal rain.
	The reservoirs were pretty full, and so it wasn't going to be a big deal.
	But now it turns out they've been draining the reservoir so they can create a, oh, we're running out of water.
	We've got this global warming.
	It's a double whammy.
	They've got two things they can bitch about.
	And so now they've discovered a bunch of these reservoirs have been drained.
	Now what I read is that they were drained.
	They just opened them up and let them go into the bay.
	They were drained to save a particular fish.
	Well, did you hear that?
	Yeah, the Delta smelt is what they're saying.
	Yes, the Delta smelt.
	Yeah, that's not true.
	It's stupid anyway.
	The fish doesn't need to be saved.
	It's fine.
	But they did it!
	They did drain the reservoirs, and I think that may be their excuse.
	But the point is, they were drained way too much.
	You don't need that much water for these stupid fish.
	And Mimi says, because she came down two times in a row from up north, and she always checks out two of the reservoirs.
	Part of her job.
	She says, all of a sudden, out of the blue, I think it was the Shasta Reservoir, it was down to next to nothing, just from being almost full.
	This is bogus.
	They're fooling around with our water here, which is not an unknown thing.
	Go see the movie Chinatown.
	That is against human rights.
	That is a human rights violation.
	You can't mess with people's water.
	Well, they're messing with the water and then they're calling climate change and global warming and the whole thing causing it.
	When it's not, it's mismanagement.
	This is, which takes me to a clip.
	Yeah, let's play this clip.
	This is the Recall Newsome report.
	The special election date to recall Governor Gavin Newsom is set.
	California voters will soon take to the polls once again to determine the state's future.
	NTD's Brandon Dray has more on the announcement.
	Save the date, California.
	Governor Gavin Newsom's recall date is set for September 14th.
	Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kunalakis announced a special election date yesterday for California voters to decide whether Governor Newsom should stay or go.
	And if he is recalled, who will replace him?
	In a statement, the Lieutenant Governor says she believes the date is fair and reasonable and that it gives the election officials and the public ample time to ensure a smooth election with broad participation.
	Days before the date was set, Governor Newsom signed legislation to bypass a 30-day financial review of the recall.
	This accelerated the recall timeline.
	Opponents of the recall say the decision to set an earlier election date could work to his advantage.
	Because he figures, hey, look, COVID's over.
	I'm not a bad guy anymore.
	And I don't want these candidates.
	There's already 60 that have announced they're running.
	There'll be more.
	I don't want these candidates to have time to campaign against me.
	Steele says it will also help Newsom avoid backlash from unforeseen calamities in the state.
	He doesn't want the election in November.
	Because with a hot summer and the forest fires and the power outages, the governor always gets blamed.
	Newsom's campaign manager, Juan Rodriguez, said in a statement, On September 14th, Californians will have the chance to defend our state and reject this Republican power grab once and for all.
	The historic recall marks the second special election in California's history.
	Now, according to California state voting laws, registered voters will have the opportunity to vote by mail 30 days prior to the election.
	And candidates who aim to replace the governor have seven days to file.
	California is very entertaining.
	Not as entertaining as Florida, but it's pretty good.
	Pretty close.
	Close second.
	Man.
	Well, all the climate change, we're quickly moving towards a world where all vehicles are powered by batteries.
	And we're starting to learn kind of slowly what the downside is to a battery-powered world, lithium battery-powered world.
	Carrie is boots on the ground in Illinois.
	I got a local report on the lithium battery warehouse that was on fire.
	Oh, yes.
	The fire was actually in an abandoned paper mill.
	The company called Superior Battery Inc.
	had acquired the building last October.
	They were using this property, which had been abandoned for decades, to store about 200 tons of lithium batteries.
	Nobody in the city administration knew this was happening.
	The company only had a corporate filing with the state of Illinois, no filings in the town.
	These batteries were imported from China and being sold on sites like OfferUp.
	The company name is the same as legitimate battery manufacturer in Kentucky.
	The fire department ended up pouring cement on the fire to contain it.
	Wow.
	And we're now getting these reports.
	Fighting climate change means we have to swap combustion engines for electric vehicles.
	And available data shows that electric vehicles are just as safe.
	But when electric vehicles catch fire, a report from the National Transportation Safety Board found that firefighters are not prepared to deal with their batteries, which can burn extremely hot.
	Departments sometimes extinguish the flames, only to have the battery reignite later on the tow truck.
	This Dutch fire crew simply drowned this car in a tank.
	It takes the water of just one engine.
	That's about 500 gallons to put out a conventional vehicle fire.
	But it can take anywhere from four engines worth to 40 engines worth.
	20,000 gallons to put out an electric vehicle.
	And where are the most of these battery cars?
	In California, where you don't have water.
	We're either going to need a fire hydrant or we're going to be tying up multiple engines.
	We asked Captain McGrath to show us why traditional car fires are nothing like an electric vehicle fire.
	The location of the battery under the car is one problem.
	So we're going to be standing back a little bit further so the water can hit the ground and come back up to it.
	Carmakers told NBC News they have emergency guides for first responders.
	But if in the future every highway car fire involves an electric vehicle, are we ready?
	Sometimes it might have to be that we just let it burn out.
	This is going to be a great world!
	Fire is everywhere.
	Let it burn out.
	There was a great little...
	That, by the way, is exactly what they're going to have to do.
	You can't put these fires out.
	No, you can't spend all those resources, manpower and water.
	I like what the Dutch did, just threw it in the drink.
	Well, you need a drink to throw it in.
	Yeah.
	Gosh, man.
	Do you think it'll still burn even when submerged?
	It'll keep burning for a while, won't it?
	Yeah.
	Why not?
	It's crazy.
	It was a great video.
	This kid, gamer kid, who was, I guess, in the back seat of his mom's Tesla.
	and the and this video from a dash cam from a car behind the tesla and uh the tesla was struck by lightning the lightning goes you can see it to the battery compartment slashes out the other side this fantastic video i don't know if the fact that it's a battery vehicle has anything to do with that that it was attracting the lightning Do you think that's possible?
	Yeah, it is.
	Possibly.
	Well, here's what the kid said.
	Eyewitness.
	You may have seen that incredible video of a car being hit by lightning on the highway.
	Now we're speaking with the family inside the vehicle when mother nature struck.
	I mean, it's crazy.
	It was unreal.
	I was on my iPad playing Fortnite mobile about to drop a fucking 50 bomb.
	You can ask anybody who plays Fortnite.
	On a mobile?
	50 bomb?
	That alone will give you legendary status.
	But next thing you know, 300 million volts of electricity is being struck through my body fucking through my iPad out the window.
	And my theory is that Elon Musk is up there shooting laser beams at anything that's not a Tesla.
	You don't know what he's doing up there.
	I don't know what he's doing up there.
	Camera guy has no idea.
	Yeah, it's America's youth, ladies and gentlemen.
	Oh, man.
	What a moron.
	That's a good one.
	That's a great clip.
	I should mention there's a lot of stories about this one Tesla.
	This is a recent one, and this is played up on a number of these, like NTD and places like that would play it.
	The guy's just driving along, and he wasn't hit by anything.
	I mean, it's always possible that he ran over a tin can or something and went up and hit the battery pack, but He says he was just driving.
	And then the smoke started coming in the cabin, and the car was starting to catch on fire just by itself.
	So he pulls over, but because of the nature of that car, he couldn't get out because everything's controlled by the electronics of the car.
	Oh.
	So you're in the car, you can't open the locks, and you can't pull, and there's no lever, because everything's all, you know, fancy.
	And so he's stuck in the car.
	As it starts to get on fire, he has to bust the glass somehow.
	I don't know how he managed to do that, but he did.
	Everyone should have one of those little...
	If you have a Tesla, you better have one of those little hammers.
	Little ball-peen hammers, yeah.
	It's a little hammer, and it's got a little diamond tip on one side.
	It's orange, typically.
	It is specific to busting glass because you just bang it and he breaks the glass.
	And he had to get out that way and then the car blew up.
	No!
	It pretty much blew up.
	He would have been dead if he did a couple more seconds.
	So the batteries actually exploded.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	That's a day wrecker.
	Yeah.
	Hey, we got to talk for a second about this January 6th thing because, you know, it's my job, my beat to watch MSNBC mainly.
	CNN is the me too, but MSNBC drives the conversation.
	It's January 6th, insurrection.
	It's constant.
	It's nonstop, continuously bringing people, pundits on to just confirm...
	Insurrection, dangerous, domestic violence.
	Unarmed insurrection, let's get that straight.
	Domestic violent extremism.
	I just want to take the position for a moment, which you may agree with anyway.
	What if this January 6th was just the German Reichstag fire playbook?
	Others have made this.
	Because if you look at it on its face, it has all the elements in it.
	Right down to the total propaganda, the withholding of any video evidence, leaking out things that fit the narrative, and now all of a sudden we have social media pop-ups?
	That people are getting on mainly Facebook, and it goes like this, and I have many screenshots.
	Chris, you may have been exposed to harmful extremist content recently.
	Violent groups try to manipulate your anger and disappoint.
	You can take action now to protect yourself and others.
	Get support from the experts.
	Spot the signs.
	Understand the dangers of extremism, and hear from people who escaped violent groups.
	And they have this whole organization that will talk to you and try to deprogram you, or if you send them information about a friend of yours, they will try to deprogram your friend.
	And these are people who used to be in the domestic violent extremist movement.
	And this is getting kind of nutty.
	And then we had these...
	I will say, I'm on a couple of mailing lists where I get kind of stuff like that.
	And I hate to use the phrase, the end of the day, or all is said and done.
	You start looking at this stuff, and it's always chipping, here's five bucks.
	It's all trying to get more money.
	All these things.
	I mean, I think it's a negative situation, obviously, if people are doing pop-ups and trying to convince you that you've been brainwashed.
	Well, then we had this very odd occurrence just the other day where 11 armed men who do not adhere to the laws of our country...
	Yes, this just came up.
	Were there two incidents of this?
	I only know of one.
	Okay, well, it's showing up, yes.
	And...
	And it's very sketchy.
	It's extremely sketchy.
	And I think it's kind of being...
	The way you hear it, like, you know, whenever someone says, oh, they don't adhere to our country's laws, then, in fact, there's so little information that this just seems like, almost like a...
	Operation Gladio, leave behind people who are there to help spread the terror that there are 11 armed men in Kevlar vests who are roaming around with long rifles and handguns and they don't adhere.
	There was a big standoff, they say, for nine hours.
	I got some audio from it.
	We are not anti-government.
	That's one of these guys.
	And then the hostage, the negotiators on the police side were talking to them and they were pretty open.
	Would you like for me to tell you my number?
	Yes.
	401-403-5176.
	Yes.
	What do you want to be called, sir?
	Jamal.
	Jamal?
	Yes, that's my name.
	Sound really, really, really, really dangerous.
	But it kind of comes along with this blockbuster story in Revolver News.
	About the Oath Keepers.
	I have an Oath Keepers clip.
	Oh, you do?
	Oh, good.
	About the trial.
	Yes, does it explain what's going on?
	Okay, cool.
	A trial date has been set for the first Oath Keepers conspiracy case, stemming from the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol by pro-Trump supporters.
	And Pierce Ryan Lucas has more.
	Sixteen alleged members or associates of the Oath Keepers anti-government group are charged with conspiring to disrupt Congress's certification of the Electoral College count on January 6th.
	One co-defendant has pleaded guilty, as has another individual tied to the alleged conspiracy.
	Prosecutors say plea negotiations are underway for many, if not most, of the other defendants.
	Now, U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta has set a tentative first trial date of January 31st through February 25th for the defendants who are currently in custody.
	The judge also scheduled a second potential trial for August 2022 for any remaining defendants.
	The alleged conspiracy is one of the highest profile cases to emerge from the Capitol riot investigation.
	Wow!
	Oh my God!
	They're holding people until next year?
	Yeah.
	This is insane.
	And you have to read this Revolver news piece because they so easily debunk what's going on and show that, according to them and to the reporting, that this really truly was like a Reichstag fire that was...
	There were intelligence assets who were stoking the flames.
	And this is just trying to be...
	This is not good.
	Trying to ramrod this stuff through.
	And then they locked these poor bastards up for a year without a trial, which is against the law?
	Yes!
	And, well, hold on.
	I have two clips I want to share before we move on.
	This is the lead prosecutor for the January 6th insurrection, Michael Sherman.
	He was on 60 Minutes, and he explained their initial strategy on January 6th with arresting people, why they did it, and what the whole point was.
	And I think this is very...
	49-year-old Michael Sherwin is a federal prosecutor from Miami.
	After successful terrorism and espionage cases, the Trump administration asked him to fill a temporary vacancy leading the Washington U.S. Attorney's Office.
	That's how, on January 6th, Sherwin found himself launching a 50-state manhunt, made urgent by what was coming in just two weeks.
	After the 6th, we had an inauguration on the 20th.
	So I wanted to ensure and our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe that we could charge as many people as possible before the 20th.
	And it worked because we saw through media posts that people were afraid to come back to D.C. because they were like, if we go there, we're going to get charged.
	More than 100 arrests were made before the inauguration.
	So the first people we went after, I'm going to call the internet stars, right?
	The low-hanging fruit, the zip tie guy, the rebel flag guy, the Camp Auschwitz guy.
	We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public for what they did.
	Seek Heil!
	We wanted to go for the internet stars, the low-hanging fruit.
	You know what's next, don't you, John?
	Podcasters.
	Absolutely.
	We wanted to take him out.
	This is a dangerous man.
	When he talks like that, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm sure Scott Pelley, who was interviewing Scott, he called him out on that.
	Yeah, yeah, sure.
	You need to see the whole show to see all that calling out he did.
	Really, really good.
	But now we have the political angle, which is even funnier.
	House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has chosen Republican Liz Cheney to join a committee investigating the January attack on the Capitol.
	Cheney says she's honored to serve.
	House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was apparently annoyed by Cheney's decision to accept the job.
	Let me be very clear.
	I'm not threatening anybody with committee assignments.
	What I'm saying is, it was shocking to me that if a person is a Republican, they get their committee assignments from the Republican Conference.
	For somebody to accept committee assignments from Speaker Pelosi, that's unprecedented.
	Oh, oh, we're outraged!
	Unprecedented!
	What do you think?
	It's a known thing.
	You know what's going to happen?
	Cheney's going to have to change her affiliation.
	She's always been a liberal Democrat.
	Why doesn't her dad come over there and beat her over the head?
	No, her dad's all in.
	He's a Trump hater.
	He's a stooge.
	That guy's a bad person.
	He holds his heart in a box over his shoulder.
	Or whatever.
	He doesn't actually have a heart.
	They just attach the pump to it just to keep the mechanics going.
	That's unbelievable.
	You know that he had the mechanical heart for a while?
	Yeah.
	And that mechanical heart, it drives people nuts if you have one.
	It's a steady flow of blood.
	Mm-hmm.
	So there's no thump, thump, thump, thump, the beat of life.
	It's missing, and it really borderline creates insanity.
	It wasn't going to be the case with him because he was always nuts, but boom.
	But it's a problem.
	The human body needs to hear the heart.
	Oh, that's a good point.
	Yes.
	That's how you get a beat.
	I'm doing a little twerk here in the end zone.
	Trump released Getter, his social media platform, G-E-T-T-R. Oh, God.
	Well, he's got the right idea for a name.
	I'm not quite sure I understand it.
	Getter.
	Like, get her?
	Go get her.
	Go get her.
	Hmm.
	I'm very puzzled by this.
	You know, it was launched with, what was the guy's name we launched it with?
	Which I think, whatever the guy's name is.
	Oh, Jason Miller.
	Isn't it Jason Miller?
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	So I think that's a hedge, so we can always say, yeah, Miller screwed it up.
	But they released it as an app.
	How long do you think this app is going to stay in the iOS app store?
	I'd give it 90 days.
	Really?
	That long?
	Oh my.
	Because the requirements are that you cannot connect to any radical content.
	You have to have moderation policies.
	And we know Trump was just talking about the other day, you need your own cloud!
	And there it is, an iPhone app.
	I'm very skeptical.
	Very, very skeptical.
	Okay, I'll give it an over and under.
	Okay.
	By the way, since we've been talking about the idea of gambling and the sports betting and some very fishy things have happened.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, with COVID, yeah.
	My favorite is the College World Series.
	Oh, yeah.
	North Carolina, which was taken out of the College World Series because of somebody testing positive for COVID, and they had all quarantined because they associated or something.
	They were looking like the winners of the whole thing, but because of the early betting, they were a 45-to-1 shot.
	It would have cost the gamblers a lot of money.
	Oh, release the COVID! Yeah.
	At least the COVID get them out of the tournament.
	Increase the PCR count!
	Wow.
	Okay.
	So I'll say over and under 60 days for the app.
	Over and under 60 days.
	All right.
	You take the over or you take the under?
	You would take the under.
	I take the under, yeah.
	Yeah, I'll take the over.
	Just sticking with Trump for one second, I have a question.
	One of our producers sent this and said, is this Trump making a massive mistake, which he has done repeatedly every single place he has appeared of late?
	Or is this the truth wants to come out?
	Or what is it?
	Chicago, which is the single most dangerous city, large scale, has the strongest gun laws in the country.
	That's just a setup.
	Here's the real point.
	They even say the strongest gun laws in the world, and yet people are being shot by the thousands every year.
	Worse than Afghanistan.
	How about that?
	Worse than Afghanistan.
	Where, by the way, I started the process.
	All the troops are coming back home.
	They couldn't stop the process.
	21 years is enough, don't we think?
	21 years.
	Hold on.
	21 years?
	We didn't...
	9-11 was 20 years ago.
	Not even.
	9-11-2001.
	Why is he consistently saying 21 years?
	I don't know.
	Is that something that we don't know?
	He does it again.
	They couldn't stop the process.
	They wanted to, but it was very tough to stop the process when other things were at.
	Yeah, thank you.
	Thank you.
	It's a shame.
	21 years by a government that...
	Wouldn't last.
	The only way they last is if we're there.
	What are we going to say?
	We'll stay for another 21 years and we'll stay for another 50.
	The whole thing is ridiculous.
	I mean, is there no one who says, Mr.
	President, it's not 21 years?
	It's 20.
	Yeah.
	I just find that interesting.
	I don't know why he's saying that.
	It's something who knows what.
	Mm-hmm.
	I do have an interesting...
	I don't know if I played this clip in the last show because I don't have the printouts, but play the Afghanistan update since he brings that up.
	If you played this before, let me know because I don't remember playing it.
	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.
	Yeah.
	And my complaint was I want to do it again.
	We didn't play it, I don't think.
	You don't think so?
	No, I don't think so.
	The problem is you produce these clips, you listen to them too many times.
	Yeah, I know.
	So we've been there 20 years, or coming on 20.
	No, I've been 20.
	And we walk away after 20 years, and there's going to be a civil war the next day?
	Are you kidding me?
	So our influence was that crappy?
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Well, we're not walking away.
	There will be hundreds left.
	Yes, there will be some people left, but that's beside the point.
	No, that's not beside the point.
	The point is we've always been there for the poppies.
	Yes, we've been there for the poppies, but is there going to be a civil war?
	What was the point of us being there?
	Yes, the poppies.
	I'm going to ignore the fact that you were there for the poppies.
	But the way they make it sound, we're there, we're doing this, we're training, we're doing all the rest.
	And you mentioned, this is why I said we played the clip before, because you mentioned in the last show that you were in Iraq and you had seen this so-called training.
	It was bogative.
	Totally bogative.
	Dad's army.
	Yeah.
	But meanwhile, we leave and they're having a civil war.
	Okay, great.
	Why bother?
	Well, I think the point of this report is since Joe Biden, President Biden, could not fulfill the fully vaccinated country by July 4th, they need a different wind to talk about.
	So, look, we got out of Afghanistan early!
	Yeah, maybe.
	That's actually probably true.
	I do have my one gratuitous Biden clip.
	Oh yes, always good.
	Always worth it.
	This is the bad habits.
	I'm starting to notice this.
	He's starting to bring his old bad habits back.
	I haven't heard the empty chair for a while, but I've heard his dad's stories and all the rest.
	But then there's this one little one that just bugs me to no end.
	See if you can tell what it is.
	I just met with the G7. I just met with all of NATO. I just met with Putin.
	The autocrats think that democracy can't keep up with autocrats.
	Not a joke.
	Hold on.
	I want to hear it again.
	Hold on a second.
	I just met with the G7. I just met with all of NATO. I just met with Putin.
	The autocrats think that democracy can't keep up with autocrats.
	Not a joke.
	Go ahead.
	Tell me what irks you.
	Not a joke?
	Where's the joke that he would say not a joke?
	What does he say not a joke for?
	Hey, Adam?
	Yeah.
	I've got my car washed today.
	I went to the car wash and I think it cost me 10 bucks.
	I got the car washed.
	They did a pretty good job.
	Not a joke.
	Isn't that some kind of 70s throwback that, you know, there was a time when people said, you know, instead of saying right, not a joke, man.
	Hey, man, it's not a joke.
	Not that I know of.
	Not a joke after things that were obviously not funny, not meant to be funny, not meant to be a joke.
	You say not a joke, not a joke.
	Well, if you've seen any...
	I'm telling you, this bugs me to no end.
	Well, let me just throw a little heaping on top for you.
	We have a chance to seize this economic momentum of the first months of my administration.
	Not just to build back, but as I've been saying, build back better.
	For a better life beyond your freedom.
	Build back better.
	For someone else.
	Yeah, baby.
	That's right.
	Well, talking about building back better for someone else...
	Here's this abortion bill clip.
	You've got this abortion bill they want to push through.
	They want to use our money.
	Well, just listen to this clip and tell me what you think of it.
	Maybe I'm sounding too much like a conservative or a religious person, but play this abortion bill clip and tell me what you think is odd about it.
	This year's annual foreign aid spending bill would make it easier for countries around the world to carry out abortions.
	If passed, the bill would use US dollars to fund abortion programs in other countries, even in countries where abortions are forced on people.
	Republicans made three attempts to remove this from the bill, but all of them failed.
	NTD's Melina Weiskopf has more details.
	This year's foreign spending bill just passed the committee along party lines and is set to be debated on the House floor.
	The bill repeals a number of policies that have prevented U.S. taxpayers from funding abortions around the world, thus making it easier to fund abortion programs worldwide.
	These restrictions on women's health must end.
	Women in developing countries deserve the safety and dignity of basic health care, including access to safe abortions.
	The new foreign aid bill deletes a decades-long policy called the Helms Amendment, which bans U.S. foreign aid from funding abortions.
	Republican Representative Kay Granger tried to reinsert the Helms Amendment because she said it has been the fundamental protection for the unborn in the state foreign operations bill for decades.
	But Democrats outvoted Republicans, deleting the Helms Amendment.
	And Republican Representative Ashley Henson introduced an amendment to prevent the U.S. from funding global organizations that force abortions or sterilization.
	We need this amendment because it is used to prevent American money from supporting barbaric practices by the Chinese Communist Party.
	Iowans and all Americans do not want their paychecks going into the CCP's pockets at all, especially not so the CCP can commit human rights atrocities, which we know they're doing.
	But her amendment also failed 27 to 31.
	I can't imagine that anyone in this room is for coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization, so why not put that protection in the bill?
	Chairwoman Barbara Lee urged Democrats to vote no to this because she said the amendment would make countries choose between accepting U.S. funds for conducting safe abortions and closing their doors.
	This amendment would be a step back for women's reproductive health, and I urge my colleagues to oppose it.
	Lee is also trying to permanently remove something called the Mexico City Policy, which prevents foreign organizations that receive U.S. health assistance funds from also facilitating or advocating for abortions.
	This foreign spending bill could easily pass in the Democrat-majority House, but it faces an uphill battle in the evenly split Senate.
	Okay, I can tell you what I think of this.
	This is a political discussion.
	It is completely irrelevant.
	It is intended to trigger conservative thinking, if available, that this is outrageous.
	This came up during the Trump administration.
	I remember the whole conversation.
	This is in these big spending bills where there's all this pork and there's all this money going to NGOs, because that's what it is.
	And the NGOs reserve a little bit of money and it could be a million, could be two million, could be a hundred million.
	And this is all about politics, about the periphery of whatever bill this is going to be stuck in.
	It is disgusting, particularly because it's coming from the same people who want to vaccinate you mandatory.
	The whole thing is political.
	It's bullshit.
	Yes, the choice thing is hilarious when it comes to the vaccinations.
	Yeah, this is just arguing about money to these people's friends, Republican and Democrats.
	Who is going to get the money to go help the poor ladies get their abortions in Ukraine?
	Well, that's going to be this NGO run by that person's sister, daughter, mother, spouse, whatever.
	This whole thing is insulting.
	That our money is politicized like that is really the problem.
	I'll give you an example.
	This is a good one.
	This is a catch.
	So the defund the police.
	Another political move.
	Purely political.
	In many places the police are being refunded very quietly with COVID money that we printed up magically.
	And that includes Austin.
	Um, so now the narrative is being created that it was actually the Republicans who always wanted to defund the police.
	And yes, and this came up.
	Yeah, and here is corporate spokes, I'm sorry, White House spokeshold Jen Psaki.
	And she defends this position that Republicans are the OG defunders of police, and she does it in a very dishonest way.
	And the president ran on, most importantly, did not run on defunding the police.
	He's always opposed defunding the police.
	I'll also note, because you've asked this question before, or a few times over the last several days...
	That when we talk about individuals in Congress and their support for funding or opposition to funding for the police, I think what the American people are most focused on is how people vote, what their record is, which is a public record.
	And I will note that while the president ran on and won the most votes of any candidate in history in a platform of boosting funding for law enforcement, After Republicans spent decades trying to cut the COPS program, which again is public record.
	We don't need to undervalue the intelligence of the American people.
	The president ran on increasing that funding.
	It's in his budget.
	In President Trump's budget, he significantly cut that.
	So that's a change.
	So did you catch what she did there?
	Yeah.
	What?
	She claims that the overview of what she did was...
	There's a lot of bills that come up that the Republicans vote against because there's a bunch of weird stuff in the bills.
	And every so often, one of them would be something like funding the police, let's say.
	But it's not just funding the police.
	It's also funding this and funding that.
	No, that's not it.
	That's not it.
	And I didn't catch this myself.
	One of my producers pointed this out.
	Our producers.
	She says Republicans wanted to defund the COPS program.
	She says COPS. But what she's referring to is the community-oriented policing services from the 1994 crime bill which Joe Biden wrote.
	But she makes it sound like, well, he supported cops.
	She says the cops program.
	And then she says Republicans wanted...
	Did she say cops program?
	Yeah, you better believe it.
	We'll play it again.
	Yeah, sure.
	Hold on.
	We talk about individuals in Congress and their support for funding or opposition to funding for the police.
	I think what the American people are most focused on is how people vote, what their record is, which is a public record.
	And I will note that while the president ran on and won the most votes of any candidate in history in a platform of boosting funding for law enforcement, Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And of course, no journalist picked up on it.
	Well, it takes it takes a village.
	I'm going to show my soul by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
	And we do have a few people to thank for show 1361.
	Yeah.
	Starting with Dame, foreign lady, before, I believe.
	And she is in for $150.
	Sir Dancing Mike follows with $105.04 from Maryville, Tennessee.
	There's a birthday involved.
	Leroy Pacheco in Santa Fe, New Mexico, $100.
	Baron Ladequin, $100.

	No Agenda meetups.
	Got a really nice picture from the Sacramento meetup from Sir Ryan.
	He says, I hope the move went well.
	Adam had a blast.
	I had a blast out in Austin.
	Uh, Micklethwaite BBQ is something special.
	The Sacramento meetup was a great success.
	Met some great guys and we will do it again.
	And it did look like a very fun group.
	And we also have a reports, meetup reports.
	Let's see, where's this one from?
	Uh, oh yes, this is Tennessee.
	We're recording.
	Franklin, Independence Day, Margarita's, Noah Jenner meetup.

	Hey guys, here at the meetup.
	Got hit in the mouth by my husband about a year ago and it's been great listening to you.
	Hi, this is Matt.
	Having a great time at the meetup.
	John, can you turn down your speakers a little bit?
	Hey y'all, it's Squire Squan.
	Squan, I'm Swan.
	And I'm just waiting for the fake alien invasion.
	Hi, this is Maggie Mae.
	We escaped Atlanta and we love Tennessee.
	I'm just a chest feeding bleeder here.
	laughter In the morning!
	I saw a photo of this meetup.
	It was a large group.
	Lots of different skin colors.
	Shock!
	But the thing that really got me, Sir Patrick Coble, he has changed his entire look.
	He now has shoulder-length hair with a full-on beard and mustache.
	It's like, unless you know his face, he's unrecognizable.
	He used to be almost completely buzz cut.
	They call him Grizzly Cobble.
	I don't know, man, but I need to know the backstory on that.
	I mean, it looks great, but it's just, whoa, that's Patrick Cobble?
	Penetration expert?
	Hmm.
	Looking at the meetup calendar, and this is at noagendameetups.com, where anybody can put a meetup together.
	There's no fee for it.
	We really appreciate our knight, Sir Daniel, who manages that, and Mimi, of course, who does the back office on that, and Eric, and everybody who does anything.
	We love them all.
	Today we have the one meetup, the Mauchi Fest in Alaska.
	That'll be at noon Juneau time, so coming up.
	And they'll be at the Asylum in Ketchikan, Alaska.
	And that is being organized, I believe, by the Baleen Brewing Company.
	So I'm not quite sure how that works, but I look forward to a report.
	Interesting.
	Yeah.
	Coming up this month, I'll just do July.

	These are the No Agenda Meetups.
	We talk about them a lot.
	People love going to them.
	You hear the reports because they actually work and they're very, very healthy for people who have trouble communicating with the Neiman Marxists.
	Let's just put it that way.
	It's the No Agenda Meetups.
	If you can't find one near you on the calendar, it's very simple.
	Go ahead and Set one up yourself.
	NoagendaMeetups.com.
	They're like a party.
	Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.
	You want to be where you won't be.
	Triggered or held the flame.
	You want to be where everybody feels the same.
	It's like a party.
	Oh, you'll like this, John.
	Up next on the No Agenda stream is Fun Fact Friday!
	Sir Medus and his daughter, Layla?
	Yeah.
	You like that show?
	Yeah, I'm the one who discovered it.
	Exactly.
	So they're on No Agenda Stream.
	They're next.
	How about that?
	Yeah, it's a good show.
	But not until we do some ISOs?
	Well, I have one.
	Okay.
	I'll play mine.
	We already know mine.
	Excuse me.
	Sorry.
	Actually, mine might follow that quite nicely.
	Ooh, ooh, okay.
	What do we got?
	Well, I haven't misspelled.
	Of course, it says Danforus.
	Oh.
	Dangerous.
	Ooh, I see what you're doing here.
	Okay, hold on a second.
	I think we can do this.
	Let me bring the two together, and this could be a good end-of-show ISO sequence.
	Excuse me, sorry.
	Dangerous.
	Or the other way around.
	The other way around?
	Is that better?
	No, I think it should finish with dangerous.
	We'll finish with dangerous.
	I'm leaving a few things on the table.
	I got a lot about the supply chain, China's flour exports, the shipping supply chain, which is a mess.
	You know what?
	Stop.
	I'm sorry.
	I have to play that.
	This is a warning.
	Well, if you're going to play that, then I have a humorous clip to play after.
	Oh, good.
	Okay, I'll play the crappy warning.
	It's only 47 seconds.
	And here it is.
	Freight is setting at ports.
	It is not moving.
	And we're talking ports around the world.
	Now, the freight that was on this container was shipped 37 days ago.
	This is that freight behind me.
	Somebody is intentionally hindering freight from moving back and forth.
	There are ports that are stacked.
	The directive is let it set.
	Let it set.
	I reached out to my largest customer, this customer.
	And that's what I was told.
	That the directive is, let it sit.
	We are definitely going to experience shortages, the likes of which you have never seen.
	Turns out there's quite a community of people who like tracking trucks and ships and supply chains.
	And they really have boots on the ground information which you can't get anywhere.
	Yeah.
	It's a scam.
	And so that felt like a good warning to me.
	Alright, now please get us out of here with something humorous.
	Well, I found they have advertising on NPR. Oh!
	And they finally hit the bottom of the barrel, I think, with this particular ad.
	I did sweeten it a touch, but not enough to change really the basis of the ad.
	But let's play this.
	It's under N-O-R-A-D-W-O-O-N-P-R.
	Support for NPR and the following message come from Manscaped, a global leader in male grooming, with their new ultra-smooth package.
	This specialized shaving kit will help you buff, protect, and smooth your most sensitive areas.
	Get 20% off plus free shipping with the code R-E-N-A-T at manscaped.com.
	You know that they put that shit together and thought about it, don't you?
	Let's see.
	Yes, the smooth package, I'm sure they did.
	And the slightly gay twist of the guy's voice.
	I hear that those things are...
	Chopping people's faces up.
	Oh.
	They're not that great, apparently.
	Well, we've...
	I've never used one, so I can't say.
	Well, I mean, that's just your face.
	Who knows what it can do with others?
	Who knows what else it does?
	Yikes.
	End of show mixes.
	Got some Merka mix.
	Tom Starkweather, Merka back.
	We also got Dave Courbon.
	And coming to you from...
	The heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region No.
	6.
	Good morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	Hello.
	Hello, John.

	But I need you.
	The American people, I need you.
	I need every American that things may get worse again as new variants of the virus spread.
	So my message to you is this.
	Listen to Dr.
	Fauci.
	I had my mask around my chin.
	I had taken it down.
	I was totally dehydrated and I was drinking water.
	America is coming back.
	So right now, don't worry about it.
	What about months or so or two or three ago when people were saying, you don't really need to wear a mask?
	Sometimes it divides us.
	When bad things happen, your credibility is lost because you downplayed something.
	Millions of jobs.
	We will issue further guidance on what you can and cannot do once fully vaccinated.
	I was on opioids.
	Hey everyone listen to this please.
	I was on opioids.
	Hey everyone listen to this please.
	Cause I was drugged the fuck out.
	We are controlled by the media.
	You know this is used to kill genius.
	I went from taking two pills to taking seven.
	7 Today it all changes We need to be free thinkers.
	Genius.
	Say what you feel, positive or negative.
	Genius.
	So we keep on saying, I hate you, I hate you.
	How are we gonna get a different result out of hate?
	Why don't we just try love?
	Try love.
	Genius.
	I was on opioids.
	Hey, everyone listen to this please.
	I was on opioids.
	Hey, everyone listen to this please.
