	I'm a podcaster, dammit, not a TikToker.
	Adam Curry, John C. Devorak.
	It's Sunday, July 11th, 2021.
	This is your award-winning Kimbo Nation Media assassination episode 1363.
	This is no agenda.
	Hiding my Legos and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley.
	Hey, we're fogged in again.
	How about that?
	I'm John C. Devorak.
	It's Craig Vaughn and Buzzkill.
	In the morning.
	Oh, man.
	Show day.
	Exciting day.
	So much going on.
	We're all watching Richard...
	Oh, he didn't die.
	Damn it.
	Richard Branson just got back from space.
	Oh.
	Yeah.
	He was doing like a FaceTime from the plane.
	Yeah.
	It looked very much like a...
	Like a kind of a really dumb Disney ride.
	It really did.
	Billionaires!
	What did you accomplish, Richard?
	Billionaires in space.
	Well, I wasted a lot of money that could have gone to feeding the poor.
	Actually, I happen to have two clips about this today.
	Check this out.
	Down to the wire as Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic showcases the final preps for its spaceship.
	On Sunday, flying to 50,000 feet before release.
	Then rocketing to the Kármán line that marks the edge of space.
	NASA and the Air Force say that line is 50 miles high.
	Virgin test pilots have already climbed 256 miles.
	But now the Bezos team is tweeting that only their rocket will climb 62 miles high.
	The internationally recognized Carmen line.
	And their passenger astronauts won't have an asterisk by their names.
	And by the way, they have bigger windows to gaze at the Earth.
	Blue Origin uses a rocket.
	Virgin Galactic uses a space plane with 17 windows.
	They are literally complaining about or comparing the features of this ride.
	Oh, he got more windows on this one.
	Oh, you only get an asterisk if you fly with Branson.
	It means you're not a real astronaut.
	You're a planetronaut.
	Or something like that.
	You know, the rich have, the super rich, we're talking about people who can just throw away a quarter of a million dollars on a joyride.
	Yeah.
	They've got enough trouble with Warren going after them, you know, for a billionaire's tax and all the rest.
	Right.
	They're going to end up with their heads on a stick if they keep this crap up.
	There's homeless in San Francisco that are just crawling all over the place and pooping in the streets.
	These are the same a-holes that are going to go up in these rockets.
	I'm telling you, this is bad publicity for anyone who takes one of these rides.
	This is stupid.
	Do you think there's any climate change issue with these rockets?
	And there's that.
	I didn't even consider it.
	Just thinking about it for a moment.
	It has to.
	Personally, I'd like all billionaires to go in space.
	And stay there.
	Yes!
	This was a funny report, though.
	This is a short one from CNBC. And I didn't...
	At first, I was like, whoa!
	And it took me...
	It's just a really bad prompt to read, but see if you can catch what I caught.
	Blue Origin uses a rocket.
	Virgin Galactic uses a space plane with 17 windows.
	If he was here, he would argue that his experience was better than ours.
	And I can give you lots of reasons why we think our experience is better than his.
	But they're both valid.
	Bezos launches on the 20th, bringing along one-time female NASA astronaut candidate Wally Funk.
	I was saying, honey, that was the best thing that ever happened to me!
	Did you hear that?
	The one-time female?
	Yeah, that's what I heard.
	I'm like, what?
	Was it a transtronaut?
	No, she was only one-time female.
	She was a female one-time.
	Listen again.
	That was the time, well, you know what happened.
	Yeah, it was Mexico.
	It was the donkey show.
	What can I say?
	Bringing along one-time female NASA astronaut candidate Wally Funk.
	It's one-time female NASA candidate astronaut, but he punched female.
	I'm like, what?
	Bringing along one-time female.
	Female!
	Anyway.
	But it's...
	Yeah, I think your thesis is right.
	They're idiots.
	This is not a good look.
	No.
	Really not a good look.
	Now, with homeless in the streets, they got to...
	This situation, this is just...
	Let me just take a quarter of a million of my dollars that I could just give to a food bank, and I'm just going to go up in space for five minutes and come back down and...
	Check something off my box or I'm going to brag about it at the country club.
	This is not going to work out for these guys.
	It's just not going to work out.
	It has nothing but bad news written all over it.
	And the idea that this is going to become an industry, which both Branson and Bezos seem to think, it's nuts.
	There's got to be a lot of cash in the system.
	People just don't know what to do with their money anymore, do they?
	Well, there is a lot of cash in the system.
	And the government's not helping by pumping in an extra trillion or two.
	Doesn't seem to be doing any good.
	Still potholes in 80s.
	When the other day I almost broke the car.
	Meanwhile, they're pooping in the streets in San Francisco.
	Where's all this money going?
	Shoot, man.
	Do we have the pooping in the streets?
	Didn't we have a pooping in the streets jingle or something?
	Pooping in the streets.
	Pooping in the streets.
	Everybody's pooping.
	They're pooping in the streets.
	And pooping on the streets in San Francisco.
	And then there's nothing better when you're pooping on the streets in San Francisco.
	From 2018, John.
	Be careful where you put your feet.
	Bam, bam, bam!
	Summer's here and the smell is right.
	Pooping in the streets.
	Okay, that's going in the end of show, Ben.
	I think we have to add that to today's mix, don't you?
	Okay.
	Yeah, so while that's happening, the technocratic government, or administration, I should say, the technocratic Biden administration, Is just not being bashful, and I appreciate that.
	I appreciate them just saying what they feel and letting you know right in your face, this is how it's going to go down.
	And this clip, I think it surfaced around Friday.
	Xavier Becerra, he's the Health and Human Services Secretary.
	Now, you'd think a Health and Human Services Secretary might have a medical background or some kind of study?
	It's not a requisite, I guess, but isn't that kind of normal?
	Or is this just an administrator?
	I don't know what's normal.
	Okay.
	Well, he's a lawyer, and he was elected to the California State Assembly, and then I think he was Attorney General for California.
	Yeah.
	Vice Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
	You know, this is a career politician, and he's from California, so that equals douchebag!
	And he's now in charge of all of the health and human services within the government, and he went on and talked about the knocking on doors, door to door, That President Biden announced to make sure everybody knows where they can get their vaccine.
	This is polarizing for American citizens who don't like lists, don't want to be on lists, don't want to be put on lists.
	The census is polarizing enough.
	And here's what he said.
	He was just coming out and saying that this is how it's going down.
	In growing concerns over the fast-spreading Delta variant, the Biden administration's new efforts to knock on doors to encourage more Americans to get vaccinated is not without criticism from some on the right.
	Texas Congressman Dan Crenshaw tweeting, how about don't knock on my door?
	You are not my parents.
	You are the government.
	Make the vaccine available and let people be free to choose.
	Why is that concept so hard for the left?
	Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs tweeting, it's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated.
	Joining me now is Health and Human Services Secretary Javier Becerra who is helping in this effort to get Americans vaccinated.
	Sir, thank you so much for being with us.
	I wonder if you can answer that criticism.
	It's none of the government's business knowing who has or hasn't been vaccinated.
	What do you say?
	Brianna, perhaps we should point out that the federal government has had to spend trillions of dollars to try to keep Americans alive during this pandemic.
	So it is absolutely the government's business.
	It is taxpayers' business.
	If we have to continue to spend money to try to keep people from contracting COVID and helping reopen the economy.
	And so it is our business to try to make sure Americans can prosper, Americans can freely associate, and knocking on a door has never been against the law.
	You don't have to answer, but we hope you do, because if you haven't been vaccinated, we can help dispel some of those rumors that you've heard and hopefully get you vaccinated.
	I like that.
	Hey, we spent that money on you, slaves.
	Shut up.
	We have every right to know!
	That's a pretty funny roundabout way of going about it.
	That was a creative answer.
	Well, he went a little bit further.
	At first, he launched something new, which is a variation, a variant of Stay Safe.
	And I don't know if this is...
	You know, these guys, they'll hear a slogan, they'll read a slogan, they're in the meeting, so maybe he's...
	Internalize that, and there's a twist to it.
	Biden needs to get behind proof of vaccination, starting with his own White House events.
	A gathering touting the United States' progress toward independence from the virus should have been the ideal opportunity to make the case for vaccine requirements.
	It matters for everyone, including the vaccinated.
	What's your response to that?
	Having people say, yes, I am vaccinated, and proving it.
	Or at least having them attest to it.
	Mm-hmm.
	Well, there are any number of ways to try to continue to make progress, and the President has demonstrated that he is open to moving in any direction we can to help Americans get safe, be safe, feel safe.
	Get safe, be safe, feel safe.
	What do you think?
	Could it be a new one they're working on?
	Get safe, be safe, feel safe, get safe, be safe.
	Maybe.
	Well, it could go like this.
	It has a ring to it.
	It has a nice cute ring to it.
	It could be an answer thing that people do on the street.
	So, you know, I'll say, hey, get safe, be safe, feel safe, and then you reply with stay safe.
	Yeah, it'll work.
	Or Heil Hitler.
	Get safe.
	Be safe.
	Feel safe.
	And so we'll continue to provide Americans' access.
	We're going to go where you are so that you can get vaccinated, and we'll do everything we can.
	And what we've done is allowed the states, through our governors, our mayors, and county supervisors, to determine how best to approach people in their neighborhoods.
	Alright, so here comes the kicker for me.
	I think this is Breonna Taylor from CNN. And she keeps talking about, shouldn't you model that?
	And I'm not quite sure what she means by that in this context, but his answer is what the clip is really about.
	So why not model that?
	I hear you saying, leave it to local leaders, leave it to governors.
	Why not at least model how you let people into an event?
	Well, Brianna, you read off some of the comments of some representatives in Congress, and that particular type of thinking is out there, and we want to give people a sense that they have the freedom to choose, but we hope they choose to live, and we're going to make it possible for them to have a good life, and by the way, protect their family and loved ones at the same time.
	We hope people make the right choices.
	We want them to have the right information.
	But we are America.
	We try to give people as much freedom and choice as possible.
	But clearly, when over 600,000 Americans have died, the best choice is to get vaccinated.
	We try to give you as much freedom as possible.
	We're America!
	As much as we can give.
	I think he is.
	God?
	We?
	They're granting the American public...
	He is granting us rights?
	Yes, yes, with his little fairy godmother wand.
	We can just be okay.
	We, we, we, we, we, we, we.
	Yeah.
	I hope people make the right choice.
	We want them to have the right information.
	But we are America.
	We try to give people as much freedom and choice...
	We, we, we.
	Listen, listen, listen.
	But we are America.
	We try to give people as much freedom and choice as possible...
	The Constitution is literally made to restrict the government in restricting our rights.
	It's not the other way around, but that's the thinking.
	That's the thinking.
	We're in charge of these people.
	We shall grant them their rights when they can go.
	Do you need some rights?
	Get the vaccine.
	So the door-to-door thing is very exciting.
	In Woonsocket, Rhode Island, the governor went out and helped knocking on doors.
	...from state and local leaders to promote vaccine accessibility to communities across Rhode Island with low vaccination rates.
	The target on Wednesday, two housing complexes in one socket.
	Families living multi-generational, you know, tight quarters where if someone is COVID positive, it's more likely than not they're going to pass it on to their other family members.
	At the two pop-up clinics on Wednesday, residents could choose between Pfizer or a Johnson& Johnson vaccine, even get a free COVID test or box groceries for those in need.
	Leaders say they'll continue to do these outreach vaccine programs across the state all summer.
	The goal is to make certain that people get vaccinated, but also to let people know that we're all important.
	And today, the Rhode Island Health Department says nearly 57% of people in the Ocean State have been fully vaccinated.
	We have all the information on our website of where to get your vaccine.
	Just head to abc6.com.
	So, it's being pushed real hard.
	Done at the local level.
	Governors getting in the game.
	Maybe that'll motivate some people.
	I don't know.
	You haven't heard anything like that out here.
	I don't think this governor's going to implement anything.
	Well, we've got the high vaccination rates.
	We've got the lockdown.
	We started the whole trend.
	You think California's going to be exempt from the door-to-door knocking?
	Oh, there won't be any knock-arounds here.
	Okay.
	I mean...
	Actually, they seem kind of serious to me.
	I think this is just a test.
	I think it's a test for, like, this seems like a test for community policing.
	The cops aren't going to be coming around knocking on doors.
	This is to say, well, you know, we're going to defund the police.
	We're going to put a bunch of social workers that are going to be out there doing this and that.
	Let's see if they can just do this.
	Well, the thing that's bothersome...
	Without getting punched in the face, by the way.
	The thing that's bothersome is, you know, there's scripts floating around, and here's how you do it.
	And it's make sure you mark the person down if they're vaccinated or not vaccinated.
	That's not just giving people information.
	That's a census of...
	A medical census.
	I mean, what do you...
	Yeah, but they come by the door, I'll let you know.
	But what do you say?
	Okay, so when they come by the door, what do you...
	I'm telling you to get lost.
	Well, wouldn't you just say, stay safe, comrade?
	Right here, yes.
	Comrade!
	Have you got the vaccination?
	I thought of one.
	Are you vaccinated?
	Oh, man, we just moved here from Ohio.
	They already counted me, so I would hate to be counted again.
	I'm already on the record there.
	I don't know.
	You'd be on the record there, too.
	They're not coming around your neighborhood, either.
	Okay.
	This is bullcrap.
	This is not happening.
	Okay.
	All right.
	I mean, yes, in some places like Woonsocket, where they make a big stink and the governor goes out for five minutes for a photo op and, hi, how you doing?
	I'm your governor.
	Did you get vaccinated?
	We have a Pfizer shot here for you if you don't.
	And that's, yeah, no.
	Well, the M5M is also ratcheting up their propaganda.
	And, of course, we need to target the black and brown communities.
	They're the ones that are the most hesitant.
	Before you continue, if somebody does come around, I've got the H4 ready, I'm going to interview them.
	Okay, deal.
	Deal, deal, deal.
	You can do the same.
	Ask them how long they've had the job, what they're getting paid.
	Here's the things we need to know.
	How long they had the job?
	What do they think?
	Well, hold on, hold on, hold on.
	Let's write this down.
	Everybody can do this.
	It's not just you and me.
	We've got thousands of producers who will be happy to do this.
	Whether they have an H4 or an H2 or an H1 ready to go.
	Or just your iPhone.
	Who gives a crap?
	Just use an iPhone.
	That's fine.
	Or your smartphone.
	It doesn't matter.
	Yeah, I know.
	Even pros use the iPhone.
	H4. What are you talking about, Boomer?
	Come on.
	I don't think in terms of phones.
	But I'm off the grid, man.
	So, yeah.
	Okay, let's go with the questions right now.
	All right.
	One.
	Have you had the vaccination?
	First question.
	First of all, make note of how many people there are.
	Is it one, two, or three?
	Yeah.
	Yes, one.
	There you go.
	I didn't think of that one.
	Have you had the vaccine?
	Yes.
	Why aren't you wearing a mask?
	Okay, why aren't you wearing a mask?
	Hold on, stop, stop, stop.
	This is wrong.
	You can't start off with these sorts of questions because it sounds like you're combative.
	You have to start off with easy questions that don't...
	Well, how about this?
	Could you please show me your papers?
	Oh, that's a great one.
	Yes.
	Can you show me your documents?
	No, no!
	Show me your papers!
	Just say it like that.
	Again, I don't think it's good to be combative at the beginning.
	Okay, okay.
	Ask them to see the documents and then ask them how long they've been working there.
	You're just wondering and you're just wondering because you have a podcast.
	All the producers have a podcast of ours.
	I have a podcast, so we want to know a couple of things.
	How old are you?
	How long have you been working for this agency?
	What agency is this you're working for?
	And how much are they paying you?
	And then get the payment thing.
	Tell them it's important because they're probably being underpaid and you want to make it known.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Underpaid.
	Oh, good one.
	Good one.
	I like it.
	You're definitely being underpaid.
	Then you can go on to the other questions.
	How many people...
	Oh, no, wait.
	Before I do that, ask around how many people have...
	Have you had the vaccine that you think?
	Maybe half or more?
	What kind of response have you been getting from the door people?
	Like people who answer the door, do they tell you to get lost or what?
	Get some little insight and then from there you can ask them some more.
	Have you had the vaccine?
	Where's your mask?
	Where's your blue gloves?
	Where's your blue gloves?
	I love that.
	Hmm.
	Well, I put in the show notes, I just wanted to reiterate, since mandatory vaccinations are now cropping up again, and there's this meme, which, to my knowledge, even constitutional lawyer Dershowitz holds onto, that the jurisprudence of...
	Mandatory vaccinations was settled in the Jacobson versus Commonwealth of Massachusetts lawsuit, which went all the way to the Supreme Court, where this guy said, look, I was sick from this vaccine six months ago.
	His son had already had it and he had had bad reactions and they didn't want to take it.
	And Massachusetts took him to court and the Supreme Court upheld That he had no right to deny the vaccination.
	And that's where the analysis of that particular case ends.
	But that's not the final story.
	Because Jacobson never had to get another injection.
	He only had to pay a fine of $5, which was a lot then.
	It was like a week's worth of wages.
	But that's all he had to do.
	And at that time, case law allowed the unvaccinated people to walk around freely and interact with whomever they chose.
	So if you want to...
	This was during when?
	Yeah.
	Oh, this was 18...
	I'm sorry.
	This was after the Spanish flu, I think.
	No, it couldn't have been.
	The Spanish flu had no vaccine.
	No, no, no.
	I'm sorry.
	Hold on.
	What was this vaccination?
	It was maybe smallpox?
	It had to be maybe smallpox.
	Yeah, I think it was smallpox.
	Well, that would go into the 1800s.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	End of 1800s.
	Okay.
	But if you're going to mandate vaccines, then you have to also, I think that was the point of it, you also have to then start picking people up.
	You've got to get them off the street.
	If you're going to mandate vaccines, then you can't have anyone unvaccinated walking around, which is where the stars come back into play.
	The yellow stars.
	So we'll see.
	We'll see.
	But it's very sad that people believe that's the law or that's the jurisprudence.
	Anyway, vaccine propaganda.
	Robin from...
	She's the Today Show, right?
	NBC? Robin?
	I believe so.
	Yeah, so she's continuing with her Pfizer-sponsored podcast.
	I'm host Robin Roberts, and in COVID-19 immunity in our community...
	She may be ABC. Is she ABC? I think she might be ABC. From iHeartRadio and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we're going to hear from Americans on the Front Lines.
	Many of whom were uncertain about the vaccines and the facts that convinced them to roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated.
	We sat down with Heather Simpson, a mother who used to be part of the anti-vaccine community.
	If you are going to talk to a vaccine-hesitant person or an anti-vaxxer, just keep in mind that they are terrified.
	They truly believe what they believe.
	When I got a ton of hate...
	As an anti-vaxxer, that just strengthened my platform.
	And I believed, oh, I got hate.
	That means I'm doing something right.
	Listen to COVID-19 immunity in our community on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
	We can do this.
	I love that.
	The community, I like it.
	The anti-vax community.
	It's a community of people.
	We're all in the community.
	It's a great time in our little community.
	Over on MSNBC, they're just taking it to the next logical conclusion that anti-vaxxers are, in fact, inherent racists.
	I have to ask you, I mean, there are still so many conspiracy theorists out there, and I'm, like, increasingly disconcerted by some of the people who are sharing these.
	Big Boy from OutKast just shared a video from an older black woman saying, you know, don't get the vaccine.
	The second gentleman, Doug Emhoff, was at a barbershop in Chicago and someone said to him, ain't nothing gonna make me take that unless my life is on the line.
	And you want to scream, your life is on the line.
	How can we penetrate some of these communities?
	Because you've got the anti-vaxxer communities and then you have, you know, some pockets of African Americans because of long distrustful history with the medical community.
	What do we have to do at this point?
	We have to understand the various factors that implicate or influence human behavior.
	I'm going to make this very plain.
	I don't have any tolerance for the anti-vaxxer movement.
	And I don't have any tolerance for politicians who befriend, who cozy up to, or become allies of that movement.
	I actually see that as another example of the proliferation of white supremacy.
	Who is this creep?
	Oh, she's the MSNBC doctor.
	I'm sorry, the MSNBC black segment doctor.
	I actually see that as another example of the proliferation of white supremacy.
	Because in particular, they are targeting communities of color and they are targeting the historical injustices, the atrocities that communities of color have experienced as a way to play on their vulnerabilities.
	Oh, just love it.
	It's the black community doing that more than the white community.
	Yes, exactly.
	Who's she kidding?
	She's full of shit, that woman.
	The biggest anti...
	I mean, how do you think black Americans feel about this crap when they hear that?
	I mean, that's just...
	What are you talking about?
	No, they can't be happy.
	I only have two cold eclipse.
	I have one, Schools and the Pfizer.
	This is a PBS report that's kind of interesting because they slip in promotional material for Pfizer, it seems to me.
	The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention today encouraged schools to reopen fully now that students as young as 12 are getting vaccinated and that deaths are declining.
	It also said that fully vaccinated teachers and students do not need to wear masks while in school.
	Meanwhile, the CDC and the Food and Drug Administration said fully immunized Americans do not currently need a booster shot.
	That comes after Pfizer announced plans to seek approval for one in the next month.
	Yeah, this is interesting.
	I think that was a slapdown.
	Oh yeah, and it happened everywhere.
	Here's CNN. Pfizer also really being criticized for kind of not reading the room here.
	The main problem, really the only problem with the U.S. vaccine rollout, is that one-third of Americans who are eligible to get the vaccine don't want it.
	They're not getting it.
	So for Pfizer to come out and say, oh, we think our two shots, that there's waning immunity, that just gives those people the opportunity to say, aha, I told you this shot wasn't so good.
	I told you this didn't really work.
	That's exactly the opposite of what we want to be doing right now.
	Now, it's one thing for the NewsHour to do that.
	It's another for CNN? For CNN to do this?
	Well, remember Pfizer screwed up once before?
	This goes back to March, April of last year.
	And we talked about it to some extreme where I think they had started bad-mouthing the mRNA vaccine from Moderna to a point that it made their vaccine look bad.
	Oh, yes.
	It was some screw-up and it was a marketing error.
	And this is the same thing.
	This is the second time that Pfizer has made a marketing blunder.
	Well...
	The way I read it, the marketing blunder is very simple.
	They only paid the mainstream media for two shots, and now they just want to slip in a third with FDA approval?
	Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh.
	You got to up that budget, son.
	Well, that element is in play.
	I'm not going to argue that.
	Wolf Blitzer grilled and drilled St.
	Anthony Fauci about it.
	The former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr.
	Jerome Adams, the man you worked with, you know him well, he told CNN today that the lack of coordination between the federal government and vaccine companies, he says it's troubling.
	I guess the bottom line question is, why aren't all of you on the same page?
	Yeah.
	You know, we are on the same page.
	It was one of those facts of life is that they came out with the announcement without giving us a heads up.
	And quite frankly...
	How's that being on the same page?
	It's not.
	It's exactly not.
	It was just one of those facts of life, bro.
	The same page.
	It was one of those facts of life is that they came out with the announcement without giving us a heads up.
	What do you think he means?
	How is it a fact of life?
	It's a fact of life that Pfizer sent out an announcement.
	What?
	That means shut the fuck up, Brolf.
	How is this in any way a fact of life?
	What an idiot.
	This is pathetic.
	...is that they came out with the announcement without giving us a heads up.
	And quite frankly, the CEO, who's a really good guy, got on the phone with me last night and apologized.
	And he said, holy crap, bro, I fucked it up.
	...that they came out with that recommendation.
	So there is no...
	So it's all good because the CEO, who's a good guy, called Anthony and said, dude, I'm so sorry.
	And Brov went, I mean, Fauci went, eh, it's alright, man.
	It happens.
	Fact of life.
	No, he said, okay, I'll cover for you.
	Exactly.
	I'll take a bullet.
	Not with that recommendation.
	So there is no...
	Not that apologize about the recommendation.
	Apologize for not letting us know that he was going to do it ahead of time.
	He's really, you know, a good person.
	And he meant it sincerely.
	Wow.
	I mean, seriously?
	That's the level you're going to go to?
	Are you kidding me?
	It gets better.
	Because this is about the boosters.
	And remember...
	Was there a determination to go ahead with this recommendation, seeking emergency use authorization?
	I know you had this conversation with the CEO. Was it simply based on that study that the Israeli Ministry of Health put out?
	Yeah, it was based on a couple of things.
	One of them, and the main thing, was the data that we heard about last week from what appeared to be a diminution in efficacy of preventing initial infection.
	The important bottom line...
	I love how it's like, okay, I'm going to use some words that the typical CNN viewer won't understand.
	In other words, it started, the data showed that it sucked.
	In efficacy of preventing initial infection, the important bottom line in all of this, Wolf, is that the efficacy against severe disease, particularly hospitalization that might lead to death in some individuals, was still really very good, within the 90%.
	That's the important aspect of this.
	Okay, nice, nice little trick.
	So no longer is it, it keeps you safe, you won't get the virus, maybe, maybe.
	Not even that, just like, hey, if you get the virus, because this thing doesn't seem to work so well, at least you won't die, we kind of think.
	And 90% is less than what you'd get from just getting the virus without the vaccine, by the way.
	There you go.
	99.97 chances, I mean, chances 0.03% of dying.
	Now, NBC, I think they did anticipate this was coming, and they did get the, you know, they had sales go out and say, okay, Okay, third thing, so let's take care of it.
	No package deal.
	I'm sorry.
	Look, you blew your chance.
	You could have done for two shots and a booster, but you were cheapskates.
	You just took the option for two, and now you want three?
	Okay, good sign here.
	Tonight, Pfizer says a booster shot, a third dose of its current vaccine, could offer Americans five to ten times more protection against COVID. Given six months after the second dose, Pfizer believes those inoculated would be highly protected against the Delta variant, which is now exploding across the U.S. The company expects to deliver new data to the FDA within weeks.
	And is also working to develop a Delta-specific version of its vaccine.
	Wow.
	It's exploding.
	It's exploding over the US. A Delta-specific version.
	Yep, yep.
	These guys are shameless.
	But you're right.
	NBC got bought.
	Or they didn't get bought off.
	They finally got the buy they're looking for.
	Now, it's looking like CNN has shitty salespeople because ABC also got the buy.
	Drug maker Pfizer, we're hearing that they're also now saying that they've got a third dose, that booster shot we've been talking about.
	However, the CDC and the FDA are saying, hey, not so fast.
	Theme of the day in terms of COVID coming out of our government agencies and big pharma.
	Confusion.
	And this is the first example.
	So late yesterday, Pfizer released some encouraging data.
	They've been testing, as we know, a third dose, a booster dose.
	They have found that it provides strong and sustained immune protection when given 6 to 12 months after the second dose.
	Basically, their philosophy, their data saying two doses is good, three doses even better.
	What is their philosophy, bullcrap?
	And then she follows up their data.
	I mean, their data.
	Basically, their philosophy, their data saying two doses is good, three doses even better.
	But as you said, Amy and TJ. Four even better than that.
	You know what?
	Hey, six doses.
	DA and CDC. That'll do the trick.
	It'll stop it.
	We're not there yet.
	We don't even know if a booster will be necessary.
	It may be.
	And if it is, we don't know when.
	At this time, it's premature to say everyone will need a booster.
	Three is better.
	Four is going to be great.
	Five!
	He made your joke!
	He made your joke!
	What was it?
	Oh my god!
	You stepped on the...
	Necessary, it may be, and if it is, we don't know when.
	At this time, it's premature to say everyone will need a booster.
	Three is better, but four is going to be great.
	And then five!
	Woo!
	Five!
	Okay.
	These guys are doing our material.
	I just made the joke.
	It's funny.
	Now, uh...
	I think the top dogs over there at Pfizer have quit.
	I think they've made their bonuses, and they've walked.
	And so we're starting to see these screw-ups, because I think the one they could go with, and we only heard about it a couple of shows ago.
	I had one example, and I think I've heard a couple of others, but it's fallen by the wayside, is the top-off sales pitch.
	Oh, the top-off.
	Top-off, top-up, top-up.
	Oh, is it top-up or top-off?
	Well, in the UK, they say top-up.
	And in Europe, I think, in general, here we would say top-off.
	Well, they've been talking about, should I top-off?
	At least the guy from Cheddar News or Newsie or one of these two.
	One of these great channels, yes.
	One of these great channels.
	He says, should I top-off my J&J vaccine with a Pfizer shot?
	And of course, as we know, if we go back and I've...
	The clip show I'm going to end up doing for all the early days is going to indicate, no!
	Don't mix these vaccines!
	The mix and match is my favorite.
	Yeah, the mix and match is one thing.
	But I still think the top-off idea was something they could have gone with.
	But as you recall back in March and April, as I've said many a time on this show, especially today, they made...
	They went on and on about how you can't mix and match.
	Yes.
	It was not done.
	I thought they could have gone.
	Because it was being accepted by these douchebags at these lesser news channels.
	And they were even bringing it up as though it was on a script.
	Gee, I wonder.
	It used to be a big deal.
	Don't mix and match.
	Don't mix and match.
	Oh, yeah.
	And now they're even saying it's a good idea if you had the Moderna-Pfizer to get a J&J and vice versa.
	Oh, I haven't heard that one.
	Oh, in Europe, if you can get one, if you can get all three, it's great.
	Get all three?
	Yeah.
	That means that none of them work.
	You've got to get all three.
	Well, they're doing something.
	You know, I was beating myself up.
	The one thing I forgot to bring up to Joe Rogan when I was on the show recently is Osterholm, the guy that I met the first time I went on his show in March of 2020.
	Because that guy, I mean, he really kicked off, to me, he kicked off a lot of fear-mongering.
	And I mentioned it to Joe after we were done.
	He said, you know...
	Holy crap, Adam.
	Like, that really rattled a lot of people and it just sent so many people into a tailspin and it wasn't appropriate for me to ask, well, how the hell did he get on the show?
	How did he get booked?
	Why?
	Who does that?
	Why was this guy coming in to just fear monger and, of course, never called to account?
	And even though he doesn't appear on television that much anymore, he must be freelancing or some kind of side hustle.
	He's got this podcast, The Osterholm Update.
	No, I have to go listen to that.
	Well, sit down and get ready.
	Here's a few clips.
	What we're seeing really is an urban-suburban community split.
	And what I mean by that is...
	Racism.
	If you look at the rate of New Daily cases, they've fallen below 3 per 100,000 residents in large cities like Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. You'd say if you're in those locations, the pandemic's over.
	However, but in less populated areas, but nonetheless very diverse throughout the country, areas that tend to be more politically conservative and skeptical of vaccines, the virus is now surging, largely from the Delta variant.
	The states with the worst outbreaks that I just mentioned, Arkansas and Missouri, each with more than 16 new daily cases per 100,000, followed by Florida at 10, Nevada 10, Wyoming 9, and Utah 8 per 100,000 cases.
	I just want to add what I think is really a remarkable number that should hopefully give all of us reason to believe that the vaccines are our answer.
	If you look at what we're seeing in terms of number of deaths in this country, if you look for the month of May, the latest data we have from the CDC, And well before the Delta variant took off, only about 150 of the more than 18,000 COVID deaths in May were in fully vaccinated people, or less than 1%.
	That translates to about five deaths per day attributed to fully vaccinated Americans experiencing breakthrough infections, particularly in the older population.
	But that compares to 300 deaths per day in the unvaccinated population.
	Wait a second.
	My, listening to these guys go on and on and on, if nothing else, the vaccine keeps you from getting killed.
	How is he getting five deaths a day from people who are fully vaccinated?
	I was under the impression, listening to Fauci, that there's no chance of getting killed by this disease if you are vaccinated.
	That's what the vaccine does.
	You can still get the disease, but you're not going to end up in the hospital.
	Well, it's interesting you bring that up because there is something very strange is going on.
	Okay, so in different countries, polar opposite things are taking place.
	In the Netherlands, they've now, the government and the prime minister did a big speech like, uh-oh, well, cases are rising amongst young people.
	Recall that two weeks ago, it was, go, go, go.
	Go to your bars.
	The UK is ready to do the same thing.
	Go to your bars.
	Go hang out.
	Go have a good time.
	peace is here.
	We're good to go.
	And everybody started rocking and rolling, Everyone was really happy.
	Sure, there were many bars.
	You had to show either QR code, negative test, which of course was gamed immediately.
	There's no real checking.
	No one cares.
	They're just partying.
	And then the Delta variant, the hammer comes down.
	And I... When we're talking about the crime, the criminal-ridden country of the Netherlands, you can do a lot to the Dutch, but you do not touch their dance festivals and you do not touch their drugs.
	That's when you make a mistake.
	And so all these huge festivals like Lowlands and the big white party in the arena, which is 50,000 people, these are events that the Dutch look forward to for the entire year.
	And they're being told it's impossible.
	New restrictions, everything closes at midnight.
	You have to have one and a half meter distance between people, which means any facility that's open before that pretty much can only do a third of their occupancy.
	So that has now ruined, completely bankrupted clubs, events, and now people are getting angry.
	But over in the UK... It's like, no, no, no, no, no.
	It's okay.
	We're just going to go completely all in.
	And this is actually the transport minister, Grant Shapps.
	This is indirect sound, so you've got to focus for a second.
	But odd things are being said.
	Grant Shapps about this.
	Good morning, Grant Shapps.
	Morning.
	Morning.
	Would you please explain the evidence that you've looked at to make this decision?
	Yeah, we know that double vaccinated or fully vaccinated people are much more likely to get and also carry the coronavirus.
	So there comes a point where, you know, there's a balance to be made by allowing people to see perhaps friends and family or even go on holidays to countries which are in the amber category, which are the vast majority of countries in the world.
	And that's where we've got to, based on the advice of Chief Medical Officer and others.
	So they're saying, yeah, we know people who are vaccinated get coronavirus more often.
	I mean, what is going on?
	This is like up is down, left is right.
	It's good.
	And I don't think that was a gaffe.
	I think he absolutely means this.
	I couldn't hear a word he said.
	Oh, that's too bad.
	He said that we know that vaccinated people...
	I thought he said double vaccinated.
	Double vaccinated people, yeah.
	What does double vaccinated mean?
	Does that mean you got the two Pfizer shots?
	Does it mean you got Pfizer and Moderna and then you got J&J and you got AstraZeneca?
	That'd be quadruple vaccinated.
	It's so nuts right now that it could be any of what you just said.
	All of the above.
	It's completely insane.
	Well, the insanity continues with the new usages.
	I have one last clip.
	Mm-hmm.
	Tell me if you can spot the...
	Well, I'm going to give it away by telling you this.
	The saved or created...
	You didn't have to give that away.
	I would have caught that from anywhere.
	But it's not...
	They've got a new one.
	It's a new one.
	It's not safe.
	But listen to this.
	There's COVID new use.
	New use.
	The CDC's guidance for schools to fully reopen this fall and to allow fully vaccinated students to go without masks is yet another sign of how the U.S. is shifting its approach to the COVID pandemic.
	But even as the push for regular routines grow, the Delta variant presents its own risks, especially to those who aren't vaccinated.
	Some states in the South and the Midwest have low vaccination rates.
	Stephanie Sy looks at one dealing with a spike in cases, Missouri.
	Judy, Missouri is one of those states where the Delta strain is leading to a rise in cases.
	It's among the top five states when it comes to new cases and hospitalizations.
	Missouri has reported nearly 7,600 newly confirmed or probable cases in the past week.
	Shut up then, lady.
	Don't bury the lead like that.
	That's horrible.
	Listen to this.
	This is The Guardian.
	And the Guardian has this headline.
	Why most people who now die with COVID in England are ones who had a vaccination.
	Wouldn't you like to know?
	Yes.
	I'm telling you there's something weird going on.
	Again, why most people who now die with COVID in England have had a vaccination.
	And they summarize the article right at the top.
	Don't think of this as a bad sign.
	It's exactly what's expected from an effective but imperfect jab.
	It's what's expected?
	I'll read it again.
	Don't think of this as a bad sign.
	It's exactly what's expected from an effective but imperfect jab.
	This is weird.
	Now tell me I'm crazy.
	Oh, by the way, the clip I played, somebody may have missed it.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	But they're using probable as a...
	You get the probable.
	It means they had the flu.
	That's the way I see it.
	Yeah, or maybe just a false positive.
	It could be a million things.
	It could be any of those.
	But...
	I don't know.
	Maybe the amount of grift going on with this advertising money that's coming from Pfizer and the other drug makers, as it starts to peter out, the media has decided to put the screws to them.
	Maybe.
	But here's the next thing that's weird.
	Now, over the weekend, a screenshot appeared from the Times, so the UK, the Times, which is a serious newspaper, and it said, COVID passports will be mandatory in pubs, clubs, and restaurants.
	And it was a screenshot, and I'm looking at BBC. I'm trying to find any evidence this is real.
	Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
	I can't even find it on their website.
	So I'm like, this is fake.
	But then the Evening Standard comes out.
	Not the same level of publication, but they're reporting on it by saying COVID certificates will be needed to enter pubs, bars, restaurants, and clubs under plans to stave off a fourth wave of the virus in the autumn.
	It has been reported.
	So they're reporting on that report.
	They're probably reporting on the fake screenshot.
	Yes, that's what I think is happening.
	Well, that does happen.
	These guys get suckered.
	I mean, this is the classic example where a newspaper falls for an internet hoax.
	Yes.
	And then they write, oh, sorry, we fell for the internet hoax.
	They put a little clarification on page 40.
	But let's now talk about Australia, in particular, Sydney.
	They have a couple hundred cases.
	I think one or two people died.
	They are locking them down tighter than dogs in a cage.
	It is tighter than Trump locks up kids in cages.
	Say whatever you want.
	It's crazy.
	Now this is a report where the voiceover says something interesting.
	Has the most minimal of symptoms?
	Get tested.
	Today is the first full day of the New World Order.
	Outdoor gatherings are limited to two people.
	Exercise is allowed at no further than a 10km radius from your home.
	Browsing in shops is not permitted.
	Only one person per household may leave to do essential shopping.
	And from tomorrow, funerals are limited to 10 people.
	And the length of this lockdown is up to each and every one of us.
	So you notice a little New World Order he throws in there at the beginning?
	I could barely hear that clip.
	That was very...
	Is somebody recording with a Radio Shack mic off of a TV set?
	Well, what happens...
	I mean, these are not producer clips.
	What happens is people catch something on their phone.
	You can't always find everything on YouTube or BitChute.
	I know, but it doesn't help me if I can't understand a word of it.
	Well, I'll just play that one relevant bit again.
	You'll hear it.
	Today is the first full day of the New World Order.
	Today is the first day of the New World Order.
	Yeah, then we have a new...
	I think we had a New World Order clip last show, too.
	Yeah, so I asked a buddy who's in Australia.
	He's left-leaning, I would say.
	I'm sure he's been vaccinated and...
	And loves it all.
	Is this really happening?
	Are you being locked down like this?
	And he says, yes.
	That's happening in Sydney.
	The government is trying to stop the virus from spreading.
	Same happened in Melbourne last year.
	Yeah, I know.
	We followed that.
	But then here's how it runs.
	Scott Morrison fucked up the vaccination program here.
	He must be a conservative.
	The Prime Minister.
	Oh, the Prime Minister, yes.
	Yeah.
	Which is the same thing they did in Melbourne.
	Well, they blame it.
	They will not accept that it is impossible to stop any kind of spread of this.
	It's always someone's fault.
	Then it was the people at the COVID hotel who were having sex with the people who were supposed to be quarantining.
	That was their fault!
	Yeah, it's a lot of weird finger pointing, but it's usually aimed at, it's usually targeting a certain element.
	It's like the targeting of the South and Missouri now.
	Yes.
	By, you know, a bunch of Republicans are not getting the vaccine.
	It's their fault.
	That's why we're still having trouble, because of these bastards.
	And the biggest example is Bolsonaro being blamed for everything in Brazil.
	They're trying to get rid of that guy.
	So, we need to go and see what the marketing is.
	Let's go to TikTok.
	This is interesting.
	This TikToker has shingles.
	Morning, TikTok.
	Just a quick update.
	Still got a lot of blisters.
	He's showing it, which is quite disgusting.
	Going to my back.
	But I had an interesting phone call.
	I called AHS, which is Alberta Health and Safety.
	I'm from Alberta.
	So I called AHS on their 811 number to file a report.
	My doctor told me to file a report that it could be an adverse effect to the COVID vaccine.
	I called the 811 number.
	And I file the report, and the lady on there, the nurse or whoever's on the end of it, tells me, yeah, we've heard a few of these cases.
	It shouldn't be life-threatening or whatever.
	Use cortisone cream, take a prescription, which is what I have been doing.
	I have cortisone cream at home I use every day, twice a day, and I have a prescription that my doctor gave me.
	But it was interesting to hear her say that I'm not the only one.
	So I asked her why we're not being told about it, and she said to create less vaccine hesitancy.
	So, obviously, that got taken down.
	At least I haven't seen it return.
	Of course it got taken down, heaven forbid.
	So, in other words, did he ever say which vaccine it was that caused the shingles outbreak?
	No, but I think it's Astra...
	Well, what is in...
	Isn't AstraZeneca in Canada?
	I think it's AstraZeneca.
	But Team Halo, the real Team Halo on TikTok, they now have a new message.
	Now, these are TikTokers who have been promoting vaccination.
	Now, and they're singing it, so before you say, I can't hear it...
	I'm not going to say it again.
	Yeah, you will.
	This one is actually kind of hard to hear.
	This one's worse.
	Well, it's not the sound quality, it's just the singing.
	But the crux of it is, Don't go running.
	Don't go cycling.
	Please don't go swimming, lifting after your vaccine.
	But try walking or some stretching.
	Because if you don't want a cardiac arrest, you better be listening.
	So don't go swimming, don't go running, don't go lifting weights.
	No extraneous exercise for up to a week after your shots.
	Otherwise you might get a heart attack.
	Which is now official documentation that people are handed when they, not everywhere, but are being handed after receiving the vaccines.
	Ugh.
	I've silenced by that one.
	Well, and this brings me to a trusted producer.
	She sent us many good things in the past.
	I've been around the show for a long time.
	In the morning, so I have two friends who work as stewardesses.
	That would be flight attendants.
	And I spent a rather long night last night drinking with them.
	They both dropped a weird piece of information I wanted to pass on.
	Do you remember about a month ago when Southwest suddenly canceled a ton of flights?
	Now, we got analysis that it was their computer system and it was antiquated and there was lots of stuff wrong with it.
	She says, Oh, altitude problems, yes.
	So I said, I will pay for another night of drinking if you can see if they have any friends at American Airlines.
	You remember Americans said, oh, July, we've got to cancel hundreds of flights.
	You know, we were a little too enthusiastic.
	This is the best thing.
	This is good.
	And British Airways, there were four pilots, or three at least, we talked about it, who died very close to each other, and there was a lot of talk which went away about the same situation.
	A lot of British Airway pilots, they all got vaccinated around the same time, and people were probably just unexpected taking longer to recover.
	But, yeah, the thrombosis at altitude, that's a real thing.
	You can get that without having a vaccine.
	You don't need any of that.
	You can run into trouble.
	So...
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's frightening.
	The last thing...
	That would account for some of these unexplained, you know, all of a sudden these flights have been canceled.
	There were people...
	I just was on the news recently, somebody bitching about their flight being canceled.
	They couldn't go anywhere.
	Yeah.
	So the word is out.
	Somebody's going to write, it's not going to be me, but somebody's going to write a tremendously fabulous book about this.
	Oh, not just one?
	This whole fiasco.
	It's a fiasco.
	Well, I think we can do the audio version.
	What you're working on is...
	We've been doing the audio version.
	People can use our material.
	No, aren't you putting that together?
	Aren't you putting together a whole retrospective of this?
	Or did I misunderstand?
	No, I'm doing a clip show of the beginnings.
	Oh, just the beginnings.
	Not a retrospective would be the whole story.
	Yeah.
	The beginnings are more interesting because if you go to the beginnings, you start to see these things that are being violated.
	It's crazy.
	Yeah.
	It's like crazy stuff.
	And I mean, the...
	It's just different.
	It's so different because we've forgotten.
	We've been eased out of the beginnings into this new bull crap.
	But a retrospective of the whole thing might be hard.
	The UK Fact Check Network, Truth Information Network, whatever, the fact checkers, have done a fact check on something we discussed, which is the Nuremberg Code.
	Regarding medical experimentation.
	And they have a fact check.
	Fact check, false.
	Nuremberg Code from World War II has nothing to do with coronavirus despite bogus claims.
	Yes, I saw this too.
	This is very funny.
	I shall read the pertinent piece.
	Based on expert opinion, full fact concluded that the Nuremberg Code would only be relevant at the research trial stage of a vaccine's development, not its rollout to the general public.
	But even then, experts told us they felt it would not be an appropriate link to draw.
	It's right that medical ethics should be highly scrutinized, especially in cases like the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, where the process has been accelerated.
	However, it's important not to mix up the atrocities of the past with current debates about medicine and policy.
	In other words, don't Heil Hitler me.
	Don't mix up the atrocities of the past with the atrocities of the current.
	There you go.
	That's the truth right there.
	That's the truth right there.
	I love how they say, it's really only for the trial period.
	Well, isn't emergency use authorization still the trial period?
	Emergency, that's the kicker.
	To make it mandatory or force people to get an experimental, technically, an experimental product like this is a violation of the code.
	I mean, come on.
	Why are they trying to cover this up?
	Because they don't want to be hung?
	Is that a thought?
	They're still on a job.
	Hmm.
	Then I have...
	I don't know if you received this note or not.
	Since you brought up exosomes, a lot of people respond.
	Have you got any good responses to exosomes?
	No.
	Really?
	No.
	Well, one of our producers had an interesting experience.
	His buddy had had the fully vaccinated, although he didn't feel well.
	They were supposed to go out and drag around in his 500-horsepower Mustang.
	Oh, yeah.
	I got this note.
	Right.
	Yeah, there's a pertinent part in the middle of it there that you're going to read.
	So this is the weird twist, he says.
	My friend had been feeling under the weather because he had his second jab of Pfizer vax just the day before.
	He said that he'd been feeling sick for about two weeks, which was when he had got the first jab.
	He said he had the typical massive headache, feeling like he had no energy and slightly plugged up nasally, which was none of these side effects that Bill Gates talked about.
	We went for a ride, saw some other hot rods on the freeway, raced a little, laughed a little, etc., etc., etc.
	He said he was in the car for about 45 minutes total, and he sat in the garage having a beer for about another hour or so, just BSing, and he headed home and crawled into bed.
	bed.
	Now, here's where it gets interesting.
	That night, I had some strange dreams that I would liken akin to when I quit smoking.
	I quit with the patch and once fell asleep with the patch on, or twice fell asleep with the patch on, which led to psychotic-like, very vivid dreams.
	But these were a tad different.
	These dreams were much more sexual in nature and apparently aroused me in my sleep to the point of nocturnal emission.
	This might not seem weird, but I have not had one of these for close to 30 years.
	I'm approaching 50, and I do not have any issues like ED, but I'm certainly not as active in the bed as I used to be.
	I thought maybe it was medication that I'm on, but it only happened one time and has not happened since.
	Well, I continue to take all the medication I was taking when this happened, thinking through it the only conclusion that I can come to is that this was a result of sitting close to someone that had gotten the vaccine for an extended period of time.
	Yeah, exosomes.
	Well, that's some sexosomes is what that is.
	Well, that's the...
	I love it.
	What the hell happened to that guy?
	But, yeah, I was thinking about this because you were grilling me.
	I'm thinking now when I go to the, into the public, especially around here where it was got the vax, I'm wearing my mask.
	This is where it gets to.
	It's like, hmm, I'm not so sure.
	Well, the mask, of course.
	And I'm worried about flying because I'm worried about sitting next to somebody who's had the vaccine and they're exuding exosomes.
	And I, you know, get a bunch of these spike proteins all over me in my system and I got to like deal with it with bad dreams.
	It's just, I don't know.
	Or worse.
	I don't think the mask is going to protect you from the exosomes.
	I hope it does.
	Now, did you see our other producers who sent us the magnetic brass key video?
	You know, you sent me a note on this.
	I did.
	And you know what?
	I go through all your emails.
	I saw this one.
	I said, I'm not even opening it.
	dude you miss no you missed something good i'll go back and look at it but and it's even addressed okay john this has bugged me enough i.e brass keys aren't magnetic that i forced my wife to get vax this is now here's a producer this is someone who who cares about the show just take someone you love and stick them with the jabs for a test for science for the show Yeah.
	In this video that I just shot today, my wife is freshly vaxxed 48 hours ago, and of course the brass key sticks to her arm.
	So I grabbed a magnet and a paperclip to show that it also sticks.
	The part you can't see is you can actually feel a pull and a push from the area where she was vaxxed.
	Um...
	This is what all the videos, there's a lot of videos that show this, and it's always the guy doing the testing, the guy holding the key or the whatever it is.
	He says, wow, you can feel it pulling.
	You can feel it pulling.
	It's almost like a, I'm considering this mass hysteria personally.
	People should look up the June bug situation.
	Wow, that's an interesting one.
	It's certainly not with everybody.
	And the fact that this happens with brass, it can't be magnetism.
	It has to be some kind of alien technology.
	That is anti-gravitational technology.
	Well, you know, I can't argue against that.
	That's for sure.
	When you see it, you'll be like, this is anti-gravitational stuff in here.
	They always say, I can feel it pulling, I can feel it pulling.
	Yeah.
	I mean, I almost want to get a...
	You know what?
	I should force someone I know.
	Well, no, don't get a shot.
	I have Tina get a shot.
	Yeah, right.
	Do what this guy did.
	That doesn't sound like a friendly idea at all.
	Alright, then I can wind it up, I think, unless you have anything else.
	No, I only had two COVID clips today.
	I can wind it up with my hate clip, which is relevant today.
	Damn, I keep forgetting to get a good hate clip.
	Well, I mean, it's tough because you've got to listen to stuff that you hate.
	Yes, that's how it works.
	And this is the liberal intellectual elites of the Pivot podcast.
	That's my new acronym, by the way.
	Liberal intellectual elites.
	This is where you say, gee, that's a genius.
	I would go, you know, I would go...
	Yeah, I wouldn't like to get the word progressive in there.
	Yeah, but it's L-I-E, which is lie.
	I kind of like it.
	Oh, okay.
	I got it.
	Yeah, use that.
	Liberal intellectual elites, Kara Swisher and Professor Galloway, who individually...
	Galloway does say some very smart things.
	He's not dumb, and he has the right idea about a lot of things, but...
	Man, Kara Schwischer, she's just off the rails.
	And so now the producer was hired away to go work for, I think, Spotify to be in charge of all podcasts.
	No, it's going to be running the Obama...
	No, the Harry and Meghan podcast with Oprah, and she's going to be producing that.
	And so that's a big move up.
	Yeah.
	What kind of material are we going to get from them?
	Who the hell cares what they have to think?
	Well, look at who they hired to produce it.
	I can tell you exactly what you're going to get from that.
	Hello.
	But then, of course, what they do, now that they've lost their producer, I'm sure they knew this, they got a new producer, they immediately start doing new things, which is dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
	It's not what you do.
	But it was great, great, great for the hate clip section.
	They decided to do a, you know, what was a win and what was a loss or what was great and what was bad about certain topics.
	And COVID, they both weighed in on what was really the win and what was really the loser of the whole COVID experience, which they, for them, it's over.
	They have no problem.
	They're both very wealthy, multi-millionaires.
	In fact, in this episode, Kara Schwischer said, I still have 10 or 100 Bitcoin.
	I don't know.
	There's somewhere I don't care.
	So anyone who talks like that is rich.
	I don't care.
	So here we go.
	We've talked about it a ton and a half over the last year and a lot in the last six months.
	What do you think the major wins and fails have been there?
	I think the biggest win has been the vaccines.
	I think vaccines are the most wonderful product ever embedded in humanity.
	They represent global cooperation and science and truth.
	I think the most disappointing thing is that, and hopefully, I think America's comorbidities, our arrogance, our politicization of things that we should pull together on, and having what was supposed to be the most innovative, wealthiest, Tech-enabled.
	The majority of pharmaceutical companies that are here are the most robust.
	You know, we spend more money on healthcare than anyone in the world.
	You'd like to take the most robust, responsive government in the world.
	They can defend the shores.
	And, you know, 5% of the population and 20% of the infection.
	So how we responded to this.
	And you can't just blame the government, but how we responded as a people.
	Yeah.
	There's just no getting around it.
	We botched this terribly.
	Now, having said that, American firms with a global cooperation of German firms and Turkish immigrants who immigrated to Germany, I know you know this folks, that these vaccines developed in record time are just an incredible, I don't want to call them a gift, an incredible achievement of humanity.
	What are your thoughts?
	Do you believe this guy?
	It's such a gift.
	It shows the best in humanity.
	By the way, I guess it was Trump who pushed it through, but he conveniently forgets that.
	It's just so beautiful.
	It's so good to see.
	We suck.
	We suck because we had the gift of the vaccine so wonderful and we just really did a bad job, Republicans.
	Record time are just an incredible, I don't want to call them a gift, an incredible achievement of humanity.
	What are your thoughts?
	Achievement.
	I'm going to be pro-internet again.
	The internet worked.
	The internet helped us.
	Now listen to this.
	This is the most privileged woman I've ever heard of, or I've ever heard speak, about the internet worked.
	When we were all locked down, it worked.
	It was great.
	Except if you were an essential worker, Kara.
	Achievement of humanity.
	What are your thoughts?
	I'm going to be pro-internet again.
	The internet worked.
	The internet helped us in terms of work and delivery.
	I think everything that we needed to get through the pandemic was provided, unfortunately, by these internet companies, which did their job in terms of that.
	They, of course, also gained their power, gained even more power over lots of industries, and will continue to do so, and repercussions going forward.
	Commercial real estate, everywhere you go.
	Restaurants, retailers, communications, meetings, business travel, everything.
	This is so privileged.
	She doesn't even know what she's doing.
	Like, oh, restaurants, let me just get curbside.
	Restaurants closed.
	That was a money-losing proposition.
	Big box stores prospered.
	You could order off of Amazon.
	You do a podcast, you privileged putz.
	That's why you could stay at home.
	Oh, all my services, the internet worked.
	For you, for you, that is not the majority of the world or the country.
	I think the internet worked.
	It didn't break down.
	Now, there's obviously these ransomware attacks and all kinds of cybersecurity issues that are ongoing and just recently this week has been in the news a lot.
	But, you know, it didn't break down, and it got us through this thing.
	People had to stay home, and I think without it would have been really a much different situation.
	How would you do that without it?
	Of course, people have been through pandemics before without the Internet, but it certainly helped.
	I mean, gosh.
	And people love them.
	I don't know.
	I don't know why.
	Look up to them.
	It's baffling.
	I just want to know how many people are like this.
	I think there's more than we'd like to.
	Yeah.
	The more I think about it, Elise is here, which is great.
	She's here for Tina's birthday.
	So I get a little rundown of what's happening in Brooklyn.
	By the way, the gay cold is running rampant in Brooklyn, just so you know.
	The gay cold?
	Yes, that's what it's called.
	I didn't make it up.
	All the gays have a cold and they've given it to each other.
	All of Brooklyn, all of gay Brooklyn has the cold.
	And it's a specific kind of cold that goes from gay to gay?
	That's what I was led to believe.
	Yes.
	Huh.
	I wonder what that's all about.
	But when I hear, you know, so here's the things I learned.
	Like, well, you know, everything in New York just went underground.
	Nothing really stopped.
	Complete violation of the ethics of the lockdown.
	That was already kind of clear.
	Did she get the shot?
	Oh yeah, of course.
	Which one?
	I don't know, but she has the Excelsior pass.
	Did you try the key on her?
	Oh my god, Adele.
	What am I thinking?
	That's what I'm saying.
	I'm an idiot.
	Yeah, I'll try that.
	However, more interesting is just the more I listen to it, I see this.
	She really is thriving there.
	She loves it.
	She's very, very happy with her friend group.
	And it's interesting, like in the 80s and 87, when I was in New York, in Manhattan, it was Hell's Kitchen was truly a hell.
	There were rats as big as little dogs walking around.
	Big rats roaming around.
	And they'd Walking around.
	By the way, the rats are actually asking for spare change.
	That's unbelievable.
	And they could shimmy up 70 stories in a skyscraper.
	It was insane.
	It was just a total mess.
	It was grungy, dirty, drugged out people, homeless, everything you can imagine.
	And there's always kind of a New York attitude of, eh, you know.
	But now it's really, it feels like, and maybe this is happening in more cities, You bitch about it, and it's like, oh yeah, but still it's a great place, and we're here, and we have passes to get into places, if not stuff is underground.
	It just feels to me like we're moving towards a future where we may have a divided America.
	But I think it's going to be, it's not going to be north or south or anything like that.
	I think it will, not even by vaccination status, it will be truly people who thrive in a city and who really somehow like this atmosphere.
	Because they're very, they're really, they have a lot of camaraderie and everything outside of the city is just kind of To the point, wasn't it an Asimov book where they built these super cities in the future and then people went to go look outside, look past the gates of the city and they see these green pastures and we just freaked out, didn't know what to do with it and never wanted to go that way?
	I don't remember that one, but that's a science fiction theme.
	Yeah, but it seems kind of possible.
	And the rest of us will be out in hill country doing our thing.
	And it won't be forbidden to go into the city or vice versa.
	It just feels like we're kind of moving towards that.
	People really are thriving.
	And that's the technocratic society where everything is done by AI and by, you know, passes and you're good to go and you have status.
	And, you know, maybe even the social credit score will be something that these people might thrive on.
	I mean, I'm not condemning it.
	Now you're going in the direction where I think you should be going, which is it's possible what you just said.
	And they think it's great.
	Mm-hmm.
	The thing that's noteworthy is that they think it's great, and they're not skeptical.
	Yeah.
	And so the social credit, whatever the Chinese call it, it sounds reasonable.
	It sounds like a good idea, because really you don't want to be with a bunch of riffraff.
	I mean, I don't want to get on a train with somebody who's got a lousy social credit score.
	Yes!
	He might be sitting next to me, for God's sake.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	By the way, the one other thing she told me, which was great, because she said, have you been following the New York mayoral race?
	I'm like, yeah, this ranked choice voting is a mess.
	And she said no one, it was only one person who's in their group, who I think works in city government, understands how it works.
	But she said it's oddly similar to the, and this she does know, to the Oscars, the Academy Awards, this ranked choice voting.
	And that's why so many people were disappointed at the results this past year when, you know, it's like two people were really neck and neck for the nomination for, I forget what it was, it was production or...
	Because of this ranked choice voting in the Academy Awards, the third person actually got the award.
	And I would love to have a true mathematical breakdown.
	I have several emails that have been sent that I've put in the show notes.
	But I don't know.
	I mean, it just seems to me it smells bad.
	And there's lots of people who saw me talk about it on Joe Rogan who are...
	Just saying, you're a retard, moron, idiot, shut up, Republican.
	What'd you say?
	I talked about it with Joe Rogan.
	I said, this is really weird, this ranked choice voting.
	And he's also like, I don't know, how does this work?
	We looked at some webpages.
	Jamie brought up information.
	It's not understandable other than reverse runoffs.
	But everything I see from it kind of shows that you get mediocrity, like really not the person anybody wanted.
	And the argument seems to be, well, otherwise you wind up with someone who has less than 50% of the vote.
	Well, that's what it is, right?
	Is it majority?
	Is it majority rule or more than half?
	It depends on the way it's set up.
	I mean, it can be set up in a lot of different ways in a lot of different states.
	If you don't get half in some states or some municipalities, you have to have a runoff between the two top people.
	And that is what ranked choice voting is supposed to prevent.
	Uh, Yeah.
	Oh, you think that's the reason?
	Yeah, it saves money.
	But don't people who do these things for a living, don't they just thrive on doing it?
	Well, oh, we've got to do it more!
	I mean, since when is spending money the problem in government, please?
	That's a good sales pitch.
	We're saving money.
	Sometimes they don't have the money.
	Sometimes there's budgetary limitations and they can't just spend money they don't have.
	It's not like the federal government can do.
	Well, if they said that, that would at least be an argument that I can talk about.
	Well, they have kind of said it.
	We've heard it from a number of people.
	It's a runoff.
	It's a methodology to prevent runoffs.
	Right.
	No, but you said the financial aspect.
	And it's because runoffs are expensive.
	Yeah, but the only reason you want to prevent runoffs is because it saves a ton of money.
	And it's also inconvenient.
	There's a million reasons you don't want a runoff.
	Yeah, because you could lose it, I guess.
	I don't know.
	It just seems weird.
	You can lose anything.
	Yes, that's true, too.
	I mean, in California, we have in such a way that, and I don't know why they never mention that California employs these systems.
	We had, at the end, we had a runoff.
	It was ranked choice or something, and it was like, there still had to be a runoff, and it was a runoff between two Republicans, or two Democrats.
	I'm sorry, there's never Republicans involved.
	The Democrats have managed to steal.
	I don't know how they've done it, but they've done a pretty good job of it.
	Yeah, they're good at that.
	Republicans used to be good at it.
	Republicans used to be good at stealing.
	Any reforms.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	Before we take our break, very important to note, I'm a little peeved about this because it was so easy to call and the move and I lost track of it.
	I watched a couple games.
	But if we had to choose two countries based upon the no-agenda geopolitics of how sports competitions work on a large scale, the Euro 2020, which is the big football competition, soccer, I don't think we could have chosen any better than Italy versus England.
	No, those are the two COVID countries.
	Those are the two COVID countries.
	And I think, without a doubt, they play today.
	The final is today.
	I think we might still be doing the show.
	To me, it seems Italy is a shoo-in for this.
	I mean, they got hurt.
	I'm thinking England.
	Well, they got hurt worse than the UK. But the problem is that England, they left the Euro.
	So, you know, screw you.
	Well, they left the EU, not the Euro.
	Well, the EU, but when I say Euro 2020, you know, it's really a European-type thing, and so they left the EU. I just think they need to be punished.
	There is a distinction that needs to be made with Euros.
	Yes, you're correct.
	Well, that's an interesting theory.
	I personally want England to win because I think it's been a while.
	They have an outstanding team.
	There's no question about that.
	Soccer analysis from John C. Dvorak.
	Hello!
	Who are you?
	I hate soccer.
	I do know that much, though.
	Now, This is an interesting...
	I don't know.
	I'm thinking that England's going to win this thing.
	I think maybe...
	It's been 66 years.
	How about this for the geopolitical?
	You're making it based on the fact they quit the EU and they should be screwed and let the Italians win.
	That's one way of thinking.
	The other one is, okay, you've quit the EU, but you were still your friends and we'd like to keep doing business.
	All is well.
	You can win.
	Italy is in such shambles.
	I mean, they really...
	Does Italy have any history of revolt?
	Or are they just...
	They just stepped in line with Mussolini and all went fascist?
	Well, they...
	Just because they're all these...
	Really a country filled with many states.
	You know, they're all different.
	They're all separated.
	And Mussolini brought them all together into the one great...
	You know, one...
	Together nation.
	I think it's been going...
	It was an ongoing process.
	But no, there was no revolution like in France or...
	Or Russia, or here, or any place like that.
	Right.
	So, the Brits are the ones you've got to be careful of, because they can come down with pitchforks and stuff.
	So, maybe, if England wins, 66 years since they last won, that country will go insane.
	If they lose, what do you think will happen?
	I don't know.
	We're going to find out.
	Start knifing each other?
	Well, they like to knife each other.
	So, are you saying England, I'm saying Italy?
	Is that our final?
	Yeah, I'm saying England.
	I'm saying Italy.
	But we're both saying it for geopolitical reasons, or you just think they have a better team?
	No, I'm not saying...
	I'm unfamiliar with the Italian team.
	They obviously are a really good team where they wouldn't have gotten as far as they did, so they're probably both matched at least somewhat evenly, so I can't say that England's better.
	So I'm doing it only for geopolitical reasons.
	Good.
	Okay.
	And, you know, remember they got zero votes for the Eurovision Song Contest?
	This should just be, boom, out, done.
	No, this may be a make good.
	Ah, no, no, no, no, no.
	This is a stomp extra on their face.
	And take that!
	Okay, if you think that, then I admire your analysis then.
	With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the megacities of the future, ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
	John C. DeVorex.
	Well...
	In the morning to you, Mr.
	Adam Curry.
	Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there.
	And in the morning, to the trolls in the troll room.
	Hands up, trolls!
	Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's count you.
	Oh, they scurry away like little trolls.
	Oh, all right.
	2,164 today.
	What was it again?
	2,164.
	2,164.
	That's reasonable.
	That's not bad for a Sunday.
	Well, in the morning to you, trolls.
	Sorry?
	Well, during the peak, we're at 1,200 plus.
	During the peak of COVID? Peak COVID? Yeah.
	COVID peak.
	COVID peak.
	Okay.
	Well, I'm sure.
	The good old days.
	The good old days of the COVID peak.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	Well, in the morning to the trolls there in the troll room, you can join them at trollroom.io.
	This is not just a chat room where you can troll away, but you can also listen to the live streams.
	There's a player right on the page.
	If it's not a live stream, we have a lot of them.
	Then you can listen to whatever podcast is lined up in our linear playout system.
	And people seem to love it.
	There's always trolls in the troll room.
	I mean, you can go in there if you have a question.
	If you need some psychological advice, that's the place I'd go.
	The troll room.
	Personal trolls.
	Trollroom.io Thanks to everyone who started subscribing to us at NoAgendaSocial.com, our federated Mastodon instance, which is really starting to work.
	I love the balance.
	We've got a couple trolls coming in from Justice.Social.
	You guys are wrong.
	Wrong about what?
	It doesn't mean anything.
	It just balances it out.
	It doesn't balance it out.
	It just makes it annoying to block them.
	Yeah, but that's the beauty.
	You can block them and you'll never see them again.
	But I like it.
	I like to hear the opposite side.
	You know, shit poster.
	There's a lot of shit posters in there.
	But we federate, you know?
	I kind of like it.
	That's good.
	And so you can follow John C. Dvorak at NoAgendaSocial.com or Adam at NoAgendaSocial.com.
	Join the crew.
	You'll flow through in the timeline.
	And if you don't, you know, you can find a place to sign up to a Mastodon server almost anywhere.
	You can also set one up yourself.
	And we'd gladly federate with you.
	And I would like to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1362.
	We titled that one, Shot to Win!
	And, oh my, oh yeah, I got some pushback on this.
	I love no agenda, but why are you so sexist, Adam?
	This was the breast vax.
	And we had quite a conversation about this.
	And as it turns out, well, the conversation went like this.
	This is great.
	We know this artist.
	This must be something he's either owned or licensed.
	And you had a good analysis because he cropped it.
	You saw exactly how...
	How you would do this with a piece of art that was pre-existing.
	And it turns out that it is free-to-use clip art, but of course he enhanced it significantly, and that's correct to record who did that.
	Well, free-to-use clip art is free to use, and people can use it.
	Now, I looked for it.
	Some of our artists felt gypped, and we both said, look, if this thing is ripped off, comic strip blogger will find it.
	But no, it was Nick the Rat who found it.
	We noticed this at the beginning.
	When we did this analysis of these pieces, there was at least five pieces that were usable.
	But I brought up cheesecake in the show, so when something came in that was a little sexual, I thought that might be...
	It was funny.
	It was funny because we did this whole thing about the breast milk and the...
	Killing the baby, which I guess is not that humorous.
	No, no, no.
	It was giving the baby antibodies as an exit strategy.
	Oh, right, the antibodies.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	But we wanted some breast action in there, and so this one was ludicrously, because it was stupid.
	It was the big, giant breasts.
	I mean, come on.
	A comic strip blogger did the big breast squirting milk.
	He had milk coming out of the breast.
	It was kind of gross.
	I gotta do that.
	So, we thought about it, and we did look at a lot of other pieces.
	There was good pieces in there, lots of them.
	But we chose this one after the discussion about the art itself, because I looked at, Correct the Record doesn't do cartooning, and this is not something he'd draw.
	And I figured he used it from somewhere, but I couldn't find it.
	You know, and it was changed enough and it had the syringe and some other things.
	Even if it was ripped off, which he doesn't do, it was legal.
	So I said, well, we'll just argue, but we'll talk about it on the show and make it clear.
	Now, the fact that someone would think it's sexist, you know, you might want to reconsider listening to the show if you really felt this was art that was in bad taste or sexist or whatever.
	Mike Riley, valiant effort, but he knew he hadn't quite nailed it with his Windows of Death.
	So he had the Windows logo in the background and a whole bunch of skulls.
	It was a good piece.
	It was original.
	It was a completely original piece.
	That's what he does.
	And that's why he only usually does one piece and maybe modifies it one time.
	Generally speaking, when he comes...
	I'd say...
	75% of the time, Riley puts a piece in, he wins, because it's funny and original.
	He's really talented.
	But this time, no.
	Yeah, I used it for today's pre-show art just because I liked it.
	There wasn't much else coming in.
	Now, we both really liked the windmill, Visit the Netherlands, Come for the Crime.
	Yes, very funny piece.
	We liked that a lot.
	We chuckled.
	Yeah, Kenny Ben did the self-serve antibodies for the kind of sexy...
	Wasn't the windmill done by Darren?
	Yes, that was Darren O'Neal.
	He was very close.
	Very, very close.
	Yeah, it could have been picked very easily, except for the breasts.
	Yes, because as you already stated out, we were looking for some boob actions.
	Some boob action.
	There it was.
	We were not actually looking for boob action, but when we saw it, we were like, hmm, boob action.
	What else was there?
	Was there anything else that was noteworthy?
	There's a couple other pieces of cheesecake that, you know, Darren again made an attempt by putting in some pin-up, you know, some Vargas pin-up or something like that, and he keeps doing this, but he's not...
	He seems to...
	Lack the, I don't know, leering kind of quality to the pieces.
	He doesn't seem to have the right mentality.
	I think if he just relaxes and just does what he likes and not trying to do stuff that he thinks we'll like...
	Yeah.
	I think he'll win time and time again.
	He's very talented.
	Well, he can win any show that he contributes stuff.
	Sometimes it's just better stuff, which is tough, man.
	Jail on a cracker.
	Yeah.
	So if you're using a Podcasting 2.0 compatible app, not only can you see the transcript running by as we speak, you can search in that transcript.
	Oh, my.
	You can create clips that you can then tweet or email.
	Yeah.
	To anybody?
	All of these great features, including all of this artwork we're talking about right now, and you can even help Dreb Scott out by adding your own chapter suggestions using Hypercatcher.
	Go to newpodcastapps.com.
	Try out a new podcast app today.
	What's it going to hurt?
	You can always ditch it.
	Give it a shot.
	You might be surprised about how cool it really is.
	And thank you very much, Corrector Record, for your contribution.
	Time, talent, treasure is what we're always looking for here.
	A complete value-for-value proposition.
	All we ask for is if you're going to send us a monetary donation, make it a number that's meaningful to you.
	That is the price discovery of the value-for-value model, and we could not be happier about all of these artists that are doing great work for us.
	No show can even approach to do this.
	There's no way you could afford it.
	It would never happen.
	Never in a million years.
	I can safely say that.
	Even if you're in a big network, you're not going to get 10, 15 artists to pitch you on ideas for the final product art.
	Would they do that on spec, these artists, do you think?
	I don't know.
	Not every week.
	At that level, you know, artists are just artists, and they don't think like any normal person.
	Okay, well, I forbid them for doing that, anyone else but us.
	They have an abnormal way of looking at things, and it's what makes them artists, and you just put up with it.
	There's nothing you could do about it.
	I mean, you can appreciate it, and you can think, well, I'm an artist.
	I took a photograph.
	Photographs.
	I do that.
	I consider my photographs to be very artistic in many ways.
	And I can do grab strikes.
	But it's not the same as these guys.
	This is a different kind of thing where you can actually manipulate.
	Photographs are catching moments in real time and making them into something else.
	But that's different as far as I'm concerned to this sort of thing.
	Noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can view all of them if you don't have a podcasting 2.0 podcast app.
	And we look forward to more art right after the show.
	It's when we choose it.
	It goes real fast.
	Now let us thank some of our executive and associate executive producers.
	The way it works, $200 and up is an associate executive producership.
	We read your note, play the jingles, your requests, your karma.
	$300 and up is an executive producership.
	This is exactly how executive producers work in Hollywood.
	No different, except we don't have any actors and actresses for you to go off and bang at the wrap party.
	But we do let you have the official credit.
	We'll vouch for you.
	And who do we thank today?
	Well, we start off with, I'm taking out the ones that we pushed into the last show, including Sir Andy.
	He's at the top, but he doesn't count.
	Yeah, we thanked him on the last show, right?
	Yeah, we moved two of these guys up there.
	I have them both figured out.
	Baron Bob is our top donor today with $456.78 in High Point, North Carolina.
	In the morning, thank you for your courage.
	Being able to listen to No Agenda has been a constant rock for me.
	As I go through my rehabilitation after becoming a paraplegic, that's terrible, in December because of the strict...
	Hold on a second.
	Let me get this thing to open up here.
	That's not going to do it.
	Because of the strict malpractice laws in North Carolina, I don't have a chance of winning, so I'm just trying to make the best with what's happened.
	I'll be going home next week, hopefully.
	Shout out to my...
	Brother Sir Andrew of Greensboro, who is a boot in the boats laying the fiber optic cable in the ocean.
	Also, with this donation, this is amazing to me that people can drop these fiber cables in the ocean.
	They've been doing it since the 1800s.
	Also, with this donation, I've reached the next level and I'd like to be called Viscount Bob.
	of the Piedmont Triad.
	Accounting to follow if John's spam filters were let my email through and it did.
	And we got the accounting and you're going to be on the list.
	So, thank you for that.
	Stay safe!
	Stay safe!
	Rick Fawcett, our second executive producer, 399.96, from Grand Point, Manitoba, MB, is that Manitoba?
	Yeah.
	Scandinavia.
	This donation signifies three milestones.
	One, my knighthood, I would like to be named Sir RJ of Grand Point, accounting below, of course.
	My 53rd birthday on July 12th.
	Perfect.
	And the one-year anniversary of listening to the show.
	One year.
	Nice.
	My wife asked what I wanted for my birthday.
	I said, a ring!
	You don't wear jewelry.
	What kind of ring?
	She asked.
	My knighthood ring to the best podcast in the universe, of course.
	One douchebag call-out to my buddy Matt from Oregon.
	Douchebag!
	Originally hit me in the mouth last July.
	Spend some of that Twitch money already.
	A quick update from Manitoba.
	As of today, we are at 75.6% first dose, 54% second dose on 12-year-olds and up!
	Yay!
	1,016 active cases, 137 in hospital, 34 in ICU. Lock them down like dogs.
	We're still masked up in all indoor public places.
	Can have 10 people in our yard, but no one can come into the house.
	25% capacity for business.
	The internet worked!
	It's so great!
	Can eat indoor at restaurants from the same household only unless everyone at the table has had both shots.
	Show me your papers.
	Give me a time code.
	Will you get a time code?
	Sure.
	Did I say something?
	Yeah, you did.
	I guess so.
	Um...
	Can eat indoors at restaurants from the same household only unless everyone at the table has both shots.
	You have to prove you are related.
	If you travel to another province, two-week quarantine when you come back!
	Unless you have both shots.
	You can go to a sporting event if you have both shots.
	We now have vaccine cards and are truly becoming a two-tiered society.
	The vaxxed and unvaxxed.
	No jingles, just karma for everybody.
	Sounds like everybody can use it there for sure.
	You've got karma.
	And meanwhile, we've got Bob from Missouri.
	I wonder if he's got boots on the ground.
	Report.
	He better.
	333.99.
	This is where COVID is killing everybody.
	This donation next month, but the 33s will not leave me alone.
	The final time on my run this week, the price to fill my tank, the minutes and the hour, when I looked at the clock, always 33.
	The last straw was church last week when we sang an originally composed song.
	For some reason, the bridge contained no agenda being sung in the lyrics.
	Wow.
	God must love you guys.
	And so do I. Take my money.
	Today is my nighting and I am providing 333.33 plus one penny to land on 1,000.
	The remainder of the pennies in this donation are to refill the jar.
	It sounded a bit low last time I heard Adam flip out a coin.
	Yep, I just poured him in.
	On this illustrious day, as I join the vape-smoke-filled halls of no agenda knighthood, I request the name of Sir 10 Cryptids, Keeper of Lore.
	Do I get a protectorate?
	No.
	Not as a knight.
	No.
	I humbly request the Mark...
	Twain and National Forest.
	When you get to Barron, you can have it.
	For this round table, I desire a veal chop and your finest bourbon on hand.
	Whatever you got.
	We got some great bourbon here in the hill country.
	I'll put that down.
	You'll like it.
	Screaming dog karma for all and let's boogity boogity amen for my smoking hot wife.
	I am truly a blessed man and I'm grateful to share a life with this amazing woman and grateful to share value with this amazing podcast.
	Love and lit.
	May the Lord bless you too.
	Sir Ten Cryptids, Keeper of Lore TV.
	Sir Dinamis3333, an executive producer favorite, please accept this donation on behalf of my sizzling soulmate, Simone.
	It's her birthday on the 13th.
	Please add her to the birthday list, and I wanted to get her a damehood for a present.
	As it turns out, I have already donated the $1,000 necessary since my last knighting request for Sir Curtis, the sleepless knight, and me, Sir Dinonymous.
	So what better gift to give her than an executive producer credit for the best podcast in the universe to go along with her damehood?
	Please.
	Oh, so that's a switcheroo then.
	Please would you dame her Dame Simone so that she can join Sir Hugo of Sussex, Sir Curtis, and me at the round table.
	Okay, so that is a switcheroo.
	And we'll make her that.
	Would it be possible to provide some high clear gin and chocolate at the round table?
	Yes.
	Thanks for the link.
	That was very helpful.
	Jingle request.
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
	I love bugs and the magical shape-shifting Jews.
	Can I also get some stereo goat karma to help everyone get out of this lockdown with a right-sized amygdala?
	And he is from Great Britain.
	So we understand where that's coming from.
	Thanks, Sir Dinamus.
	Don't eat me, Hillary Clinton.
	I love bugs!
	Bugs!
	Tastes like poop.
	Roll up, roll up with the shape-shifting juice.
	Roll up.
	You've got...
	Austin, Paris.
	In Seattle, Washington, 333.33.
	Or Washington.
	Please dedouche me!
	You've been dedouched.
	I hit my good friend George in the mouth a few months ago and finally donated and was dedouched a few episodes ago.
	Oh, he finally donated, was dedouched a few episodes ago.
	I've been donating monthly for about eight months, but have never been dedouched.
	You just got it?
	George thinks this makes him better than me.
	Now I am an executive producer and he is not.
	I need to call out the following douchebags meanwhile.
	Martin P. Douchebag.
	Jared M. Douchebag.
	Brian A. Douchebag.
	No jingles, but if I could have two karmas, we actually, one karma counts as two, because it's like a net, it's like a RJ45, it's like a Ethernet.
	Wait a minute, how is it like an Ethernet?
	Well, you got one cable coming from your box, the Ethernet cable coming from wherever it's coming from, and you stick it into a hub, and now you got 24 Ethernets.
	Well, how about this?
	We'll give her a Karma, and then I add another F-cancer Karma to the second one, because I have another request.
	Okay, Karma for my upcoming first human research, F-cancer Karma for my cousin's husband who hit me in the mouth last year.
	John, please sign me up for the wine list.
	Well, if you're on the subspec list, you should be getting something eventually.
	Here we go.
	You've got karma.
	And then an F-cancer call-out for his cousin's husband, and also for Tom Starkweather's dad.
	You've got karma.
	I'm going to do a couple here.
	Clara Haynes is up, and she's from Mendota Heights, Minnesota Nuts, 333.
	She says there's a note, or somebody says there's a note, and it might be a note, but I don't have a note, so there's no note.
	So thank you, Clara.
	If you have something to tell us, let us know.
	Black Knight, Big Loaf of the Blas, 333.
	Jingles, Master of the House, a.k.a.
	Dvorak.
	That's the one we just found.
	Right, right.
	Donate enough to be a knight someday and a karma.
	Hail the foots, Adam.
	Hail the foots, Adam.
	I thought your appearance on the Joe Rogan show was outstanding.
	But I did laugh when you were talking about Bitcoin being a store of value while rocking a gold watch.
	Can I just say something?
	I've had this watch for 31 years.
	So, yeah, it's a part of me for sure.
	31 years.
	Longer than my daughter has been on this earth.
	Try making a watch out of those Satoshis you've been stacking.
	Yeah, stay safe.
	Anyway...
	Anyways, let's get that right.
	Just a reminder to know, Jenna Nation, that I'll be having a pool party for Eastern and Central North Carolina on July 24th.
	If you're from out of town, no worries.
	I have room to sleep about six people and enough land to host Woodstock if you have a camper or tent.
	True.
	South Carolina lowland shills, I'm looking at you.
	This donation is for keeping me sane.
	Now we've got a showdown between the South Carolinians and North Carolinians.
	It's on the same day.
	I know.
	I know.
	It's crazy.
	It's the way it is.
	It's the way it's always been.
	We've been promoting this big fight.
	Used to be called the Carolinas, and now they had to split into two.
	Yep.
	This donation is for keeping me sane since episode one.
	Well...
	From the death of a spouse to a nasty divorce, No Agenda Nation has always been there to pick me up.
	For the last 14 years, I'd like to de-douche the No Agenda Jitsi.
	Especially Chris Wilson and DC Girl.
	You've been de-douched.
	Yeah, 73's from 33 North Carolina, Black Knight, Master 27385 Kilohertz, LSB. Oh, I've got to check that out.
	73's, Keto 5, Alpha, Charlie, Charlie.
	Dvorak.org, slash NA, donate enough to be your night someday.
	You've got karma.
	Now, there's no Agenda Coffee.
	That was one from the previous show.
	Yeah, we got that.
	You're on the Mason.
	I'll do this one.
	Mason Strong is our first associate executive producer.
	$260.
	This is my first donation.
	De-douche me, please.
	Yep, you got it.
	You've been de-douched.
	After hearing John talk about Scandinavia's The National, I had to donate so I could weigh in.
	The National, which is the TV program from the CBC that I bitched and moaned about in the last show, and I'll probably do more in the future, is the lead program produced by our state-sponsored national broadcaster, the CBC. Well, it has always been favored by the Liberal Party of Canada and hates the Conservative Party.
	Over the last ten years, it has gone off the deep end of wokeness and has only gotten worse since Trump and the departure of the lead host, Peter Mansbridge.
	And I associated that with the loss of Gwen Ifill at PBS. Yes, yes you did.
	These people had a stabilizing effect on the minions.
	On the product.
	On the product.
	The product, the overall product was superior.
	Now it sucks.
	Many Canadians think of the CBC as the Communist Broadcasting Corporation.
	Viewership has been falling dramatically.
	The website homepage generally consists of articles about how COVID is scary, a spotlight on how hard it is being any kind of minority, and whether the latest thing happening with nature is because of climate change.
	John is absolutely right about the coverage being shallow and devoid of any information.
	The reporting regularly omits key information in order to construct a particular narrative so as to align with their fear-based equity-focused reporting.
	It has gotten so bad that the CBC top comments consist of people calling them out on their willful omission of coverage and heavy bias.
	They have completely removed comments on their Facebook pages.
	This is the sign of doom.
	You have to take the comments down because people are going to be bitching.
	In part because they can't moderate them effectively and because of their journalists getting harassed.
	They receive $1 billion in taxpayers' money every year.
	Hold on.
	Never mind the revenue they collect from licensing deals and advertising.
	Is that Canadian billion?
	Because I'm not impressed then.
	Yeah, that still counts.
	Their YouTube channel has only 2.7 million subscribers, and the opposition under leadership ran in part on privatizing the CBC and cutting off their public funding, which, of course, the CBC removed from their interview when he said this.
	That's interesting.
	That's chicken shit.
	Does it surprise anybody?
	No.
	No jingles, no karma.
	This was too...
	And it gives the money and Canadian money, which we give him credit for.
	Definitely.
	Sir Donald, that was one we did on the last show, right?
	Yep.
	And then Ellen Murray comes in, executive producership, with 20202.
	I'm drunk.
	Have we had a drunk...
	Female donator?
	No, you have to do it in a voice like this!
	Well, you're it then.
	I'm sorry.
	I'm drunk.
	This is a Monty Python skit now.
	Start over.
	And it's less than...
	That's the only voice I have.
	I'm Monty Python!
	I'm drunk.
	And it's less than an hour before midnight.
	Texas.
	But an hour past midnight, California.
	I made a $202.02 donation.
	I don't care about acknowledgement.
	I just want to hope you announce the Freedom Fest meetup at Murphy's Pub on 722 amid the festivities.
	I think Adam spreading himself on other podcasts has generated such amazing worldwide interest.
	John, I adore you!
	Adam, you are great slash fabulous.
	Thank you for your courage.
	Okay, you are now hired for the Steamboat Willie version of Mickey Mouse.
	You nailed that so hard.
	That was very impressive.
	Really?
	Mickey Mouse on edibles.
	Beautiful.
	Yeah, well, there you have it.
	It's the best they can do.
	Jacob Cougar from Spring Branch, Texas.
	Dear John and Adam, this is a donation to celebrate my smoking hot wife's birthday.
	Please de-douche.
	You've been de-douched.
	Happy birthday, Sarah Kogar.
	Also, welcome to Texas Hill Country, Adam.
	Jingle, Biscuit Day, Goat Karma.
	Biscuit Birthday, Goat Karma.
	Her birthday is July 11th.
	Hey!
	And to please put on the birthday list.
	Also wanted to shout out to Sir Lastro, Black Knight of the Ninjas, for hitting us in the mouth, and producer Taylor from Bernie, Texas, that donated a while back and advertised her swimming lessons.
	Ah, yes, this was the Special Forces swim teacher.
	She's doing great teaching, our four-year-old.
	Highly recommend her.
	And one more shout-out to the lady in Bolverde that said, in the morning to me at a Whataburger when she saw my No Agenda shirt.
	And if possible, redo my jingle request to the ones my wife actually wants, which is Fweedom, Biscuit Birthday, and a Sweepy Joe.
	Thanks.
	Sorry about the note.
	No problem.
	And thank you for your courage.
	They always give me a biscuit on my birthday.
	Fweedom!
	Here we go!
	Here we go!
	That will just go down in history, that one.
	So beautiful.
	Oh, and there's one of karma.
	A goat karma, no less.
	There we go.
	You've got...
	I might as well wrap this one up, Sir Don Philip Chuck.
	Philip Chuck from Calgary, Alberta.
	It's $200-y dues, but we still will recognize that as real cockbucks here in America.
	And it says, Hey, it's Sir Don Philip Chuck from Calgary.
	It's been a long time since my December 2012 knighthood, so please de-douche me.
	You've been de-douched.
	Thank you for all you do, and please give me some Trains Good, Planes Bad with some R2-D2 Karma.
	Keep up the good work.
	All aboard, Trains Good, Planes Bad!
	You've got...
	And that will be our executive and associate executive producers for show 1363.
	Yes.
	Thank you so much.
	We love our execs and associate execs.
	And we'll be thanking more people at the second donation segment.
	And these are, again, this executive producership, associate executive producership.
	In this day, we are looking for...
	Some people are looking for jobs.
	You may be looking for a career.
	But before you know it, you could be producing the Harry and Meghan podcast.
	I mean, there is real careers out there.
	I wonder if I was ever going to meet you.
	I don't know.
	What was that?
	What?
	This?
	Was that you?
	Give yourselves a race to win!
	I complain about my clips being...
	It's not a clip, it's a little toy.
	Is it something new?
	Hold it up to the microphone so I can hear it.
	I'm trying to figure out where the speaker is on this thing.
	Ah, we're getting somewhere.
	Wow, that's not any good.
	Can you call that stop on it?
	Let's go!
	How do you do?
	Alright.
	If you'd like to support us and specifically request that that thing never be played again, then go to the following website.
	It's easy.
	Thank you all very much for your time, your talent, and your treasure in supporting the best podcast in the universe, episode 1363.
	Our formula is this.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	We go out, we hit people in the mouth.
	Shut up, play.
	Shut up, slave.
	Meanwhile, I'm noticing I got a couple of Biden clips, nothing great.
	Of him bumbling or anything...
	I have the one stumble.
	That's this Biden stumble.
	It's kind of funny.
	Let's listen.
	We're going to continue to work for the release of detained Americans, including Mark Ferex.
	Nah.
	I want to pronounce the name correctly.
	I misspoke.
	To physically relocate.
	This is one of the few scenarios where...
	I would actually say this is not a cognitive issue.
	He is a stutterer.
	This is stuttering.
	He got caught up there.
	That's not really an old man thing.
	He's a stutterer all his life.
	Did you feel it was a cognition thing?
	No.
	No, but he did sound like he lost his...
	He had a moment there in the midst of it where it sounded like Trump when his false teeth kind of got loose.
	Remember that?
	That was funny too.
	So that's what I was thinking.
	Okay.
	Now there is a clip I have, because this is interesting, I don't know if it's being fully realized what's going on here, but this is a clip from PBS on Biden versus the monopolies that it's worth playing.
	President Biden also signed an executive order today aimed at curbing the anti-competitive practices of big businesses.
	It includes 72 actions and recommendations to boost wages and increase consumer protections.
	Before a signing ceremony at the White House, the president said the order targets abusive actions by monopolies.
	Capitalism without competition isn't capitalism.
	It's exploitation.
	Without healthy competition, big players can change and charge whatever they want and treat you however they want.
	And for too many Americans, that means accepting a bad deal for things that you can't go without.
	Business and trade groups oppose the order, arguing that it would hamper the post-pandemic economic recovery.
	Well, that is very interesting because there's something in that executive order that I take issue with.
	As a legislation analyst, I tend to read these things.
	So I don't know what kind of bullcrap report that is, but there was a huge lobbying effort in this from Silicon Valley tech companies to allow direct-to-consumer hearing aids.
	So the classification is a medical device.
	In order to have professional medical hearing aids or medical grade hearing aids fitted, you really need an audiologist.
	And if you recall, when I got my hearing aids, I did a lot of reporting how they were seeing that it was coming down Broadway.
	They were going to get cut out of the deal because Silicon Valley has convinced Washington that they have algos where you just stick them in your ear and it gives you some beeps and boops and you self-configure.
	Your process took almost a month.
	Yes, and so first I would like to explain the difference because they're saying it's price.
	And I've tried Eargo, I've tried many of these companies, and their product is shit.
	It is subpar.
	It has nothing to do with an actual hearing aid device.
	The ones I have, quad-core dual processor.
	Last eight days, you have 32 channels of compressor limiters.
	If you're not an audio professional, like I am, you cannot just do this yourself.
	Silicon Valley cannot just do it.
	It's still asking you, does this sound right?
	They don't have the knowledge that an audiologist has.
	And I needed an audiologist to help me set it up and to help me understand what I was experiencing and expecting.
	And then, of course, within a week, then I was doing it with my own software.
	But that's really not the path you should follow.
	So I don't know.
	This is a pure lobbyist thing.
	And I'm a little worried about what they're putting in these direct-to-consumer hearing aids.
	They are so jacked up on getting this that I don't trust it.
	And they're going to...
	There's something weird about this.
	Why do they want it so badly?
	I don't know.
	There must be some serious profit involved here.
	I think there is.
	The way it works is, you know, so I have the Widex moments.
	I've had the Evokes before this.
	And these things are seriously expensive.
	You're talking at least three grand for two hearing aids.
	Could be a little bit more.
	The way it works is the first visit is in essence free if you buy the hearing aids.
	I think almost half goes to the audiologist who then can charge you for subsequent visits just to tune them.
	But that's how the business has basically worked.
	So there is a lot of profit in this.
	But you're profiting off of giving someone an inferior product with an inferior install process.
	It's really a meta...
	It's almost like...
	Hey, hold on.
	You're talking about Silicon Valley giving people an inferior product?
	What am I saying?
	What are you thinking?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Also, Bose was a big part behind this.
	There's a lot of money.
	Self-fitting hearing aids.
	I would recommend you not do it if you want to save money.
	In the United States, go to Costco.
	Their top-of-the-line hearing aids are very decent.
	And they have good audiologists, professionals, and you will pay less money.
	I think they're more like $1,900.
	But it's not time to skimp on this crap.
	It's not about just amplifying.
	And Silicon Valley, don't email me.
	We need a self-feeding process.
	We reduce background noise.
	We've got hyper-directional beam-forming microphones.
	I'm going to have a time code.
	Jeez.
	Anyway.
	So that was interesting that you brought that up.
	I hadn't expected that.
	Yeah.
	I always thought it was peculiar.
	It just seemed out of the blue.
	And then they also had really good, clear clips of Biden.
	I have this Biden clip.
	I'm sorry.
	You got another Biden?
	Well, I don't know what this is, because I typed and I obviously was touch typing from hell.
	The clip is dip.
	I think it's supposed to be dipshit.
	Can I just read this?
	Yeah, good luck.
	Dips gets quesawib.
	I.D. Biden.
	Your touch typing is impressive.
	Yes.
	All right.
	Yes, ma'am.
	Will the United States be responsible for...
	Oh, okay.
	I know what this is.
	Okay.
	This is the kind of...
	This is...
	This is the kind of dipshit...
	He's at his press conference talking about pulling out of Afghanistan, which I have another clip I want to follow up with.
	And he is talking about pulling out of Afghanistan.
	And so they're asking these...
	So the reporters are making a big fuss.
	I don't know why he even did a press conference there.
	It was completely out of control.
	It was really noisy.
	And he'd take a question or two.
	It must have confused him if it was really noisy.
	I think he did a good job.
	Oh, it didn't confuse him?
	Noise usually confuses him.
	I think they had people in there, you know, telling people, I don't know what was going on because they never showed the audience, but it was sounded out of control and then somebody, all of a sudden, they all shut up and one person talked.
	And so, but the questions were lame and they were aggressive and they were not, it was like aggressive for aggressive only and they were trying to, they were condemning him for pulling out of Afghanistan.
	It seemed pretty staged.
	They didn't like any of this and the follow-up clip will make this even more clear.
	So listen to this.
	I call this the classic dipshit question asked of Biden.
	Will the United States be responsible for the loss of Afghan civilian lives that could have a military exit?
	No, no, no.
	It's up to the people of Afghanistan to decide on what government they want, not us to impose the government on them.
	No country's ever been able to do that.
	Keep in mind, as a student of history, as I'm sure you are, never has Afghanistan been a united country.
	Not in all of its history.
	Not in all of its history.
	So first of all, what's really happening is it's just a complete privatization of the military force over there.
	There'll be between 15,000 and 20,000 contractors still doing the business of protecting the poppies and flying them to Mexico or wherever they need to go.
	So it's just horseshit.
	Oh, we're bringing the troops home.
	This is what they've wanted from day one, is to have it commercialized, ongoing, forever.
	That's what happened in Syria.
	That's what happens in Libya.
	It's all contractors.
	It is despicable.
	Well, whatever the case, it seems as though the CIA... Doesn't like us pulling out, and they've got their guys out there telling it, you know, giving their side of the story, even though they're not supposed to be working for the CIA, seems to me.
	But there is kind of a litany of why we shouldn't be pulling out, and I don't know what the basis for that is, or why is what you said, and I promoted that concept too, that this bunch of contractors are going to be there doing the work.
	Maybe they're not as good as the Army, or who knows.
	But there is this...
	They still don't like the idea for some reason.
	And you can kind of spot who's promoting...
	There's no reason...
	I'm on Biden's side, insofar as the Army's concerned.
	There's no reason for soldiers to be over there.
	You're going to have these mercenaries and whoever else you want to do...
	Protect the poppy fields.
	You don't need those guys.
	But there's still some of this, whatever this thinking is.
	And it crops up.
	And when it crops up, you have to say, who's this guy actually working for?
	And in this case, let's listen to Mr.
	Brooks on the PBS show on pulling out.
	What does he have to say about it?
	And why do you think he's saying this?
	And that is his decision to pull US troops out of Afghanistan now.
	He made the argument again, David, this is the right thing to do.
	The Afghan leaders ought to be able to run their own country.
	Is it the right decision?
	I think he's making a mistake.
	And it's become obvious in record time that it's a mistake.
	When he announced the policy initially, he said he had faith in the Afghan government to hold Afghanistan together from the Taliban.
	That has fallen apart.
	We reported earlier on the show, 85% of the territory has already fallen to the Taliban.
	The Taliban seems completely confident they will take over.
	And, you know, we all, I think it was 2014 or so, when this Pakistani young lady, Malala, won the Nobel Prize, who was shot in the head by the Taliban for going to school.
	There are a lot of Afghan Malalas out there.
	And we were all moved by her, and we all sympathized and thought that was a very important cause that young women in this part of the world should be able to get an education.
	And we're walking away from that.
	We're walking away from the idea that Afghanistan will stay one country.
	We could be walking away from the idea that we can keep Al-Qaeda out of Afghanistan again.
	So they could set up a terror spot.
	Al-Qaeda?
	Incredible turmoil in that part of the world.
	Refugees flooding into Pakistan, destabilizing Pakistan.
	So to me, what we were doing over the last year, which was like 2,500 troops, relatively low casualties, was a price worth paying for humanitarian and strategic reasons.
	And I think it's a mistake that we're pulling out.
	Wow, wow, wow.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	Are you kidding me?
	By the way, the Taliban took over the place once before and there wasn't these refugees flocking to Pakistan.
	Hey, I have an extension on this from Biden.
	Unless you want to talk about this very clip for a moment.
	There's not really much to talk about except this just seems to be planned.
	Before we play the extension, I would like to play an introduction to this clip which started actually with Judy.
	I just want to, just for informational purposes, it's an aside.
	This is Judy's trying to get to this clip.
	Judy Gaff.
	Well, it's fascinating to watch it come back, and we'll see where it goes.
	I also do want to bring up with both of you what President Trump spent a good bit of time talking about this week, David.
	President Biden.
	Did I say President?
	Okay.
	President Biden, thank you.
	Oh my!
	Epic fail!
	Oh my!
	So sorry about that.
	Judy.
	I think Judy is following Joe.
	Judy's...
	Judy's...
	Yeah.
	Now, I don't know...
	I presume that everything President Biden says is scripted.
	Sometimes he goes off the reservation a bit.
	Now, you and I have been around for a while.
	We've been through the tail end of the Bush administration, throughout Obama.
	It's really been quite a ride.
	We remember a lot of things.
	There's a lot of stuff, like someone emailed me the other day.
	Did you know that when you're labeled as a domestic extremist, that you can be picked up in America?
	Yeah, we know the NDAA, that that was the enemy combatant.
	That was early on in the Obama administration.
	I think it was the Obama administration.
	I think it began with Bush.
	It might have started with Bush.
	Bush started and Obama had no problem keeping it in play.
	It was the NDAA of 2012, so it had to be Obama.
	And it was in there.
	And so, yeah, we know that.
	But we know a lot of things.
	And we certainly remember...
	Was it added, though, or was it always in there and he just signed off on it?
	No, it was in there in that 2012.
	It was a big...
	Remember we were talking about that you could be black-bagged and all this stuff?
	Yeah.
	I think it was an addition.
	It was an addition.
	If you have the liberty flag, you must be a terrorist.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	No, it wasn't the people saying it's the Patriot Act.
	No, it was an extension.
	It was an extension of that.
	Yeah, the Patriot Act also had, if you carried the U.S. Constitution, it means you're a bad person.
	Hello.
	So, now, I know pretty much the timeline.
	I know who was what, what is where.
	But we also remember some things that people say.
	And so this is what President Biden said about...
	Well, listen to this.
	This was just this week.
	Bring Osama bin Laden through the gates of hell.
	As I said at the time.
	The second reason was to eliminate al-Qaeda's capacity to deal with more attacks in the United States from that territory.
	We accomplished both of those objectives.
	So what he is saying, that he said, we're going to bring Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell.
	That's what he is saying.
	And he said that they achieved the objective so Al-Qaeda would not strike anymore in the U.S. homeland.
	The problem with this is, is that he said this three years after bin Laden was killed, so-called killed or thrown in the ocean, no pictures please, And it was about ISIS. So who is writing this material for him?
	Here's the original Gates of Hell clip.
	We came back after 9-11.
	We dusted ourselves off.
	We made sure that Osama bin Laden would never ever again threaten the American people.
	We came back Boston strong.
	Blaming no one but resolve to be certain that this didn't happen again.
	Today, America may be grieving, still grieving on Jim Foley, a native of New Hampshire, as I said, who grew up in Rochester, but the American people are so much stronger, so much more resolved than any enemy can fully understand.
	As a nation, we're united And when people harm Americans, we don't retreat.
	We don't forget.
	We take care of those who are grieving.
	And when that's finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice.
	Because hell is where they will reside.
	Hell is where they will reside.
	So that's 2014.
	Bin Laden was so-called killed in 2011.
	It's about ISIS, not Al-Qaeda.
	What is going on?
	We even made a jingle about it.
	ISIS. We will follow them to the gates of hell.
	ISIS. I feel good!
	Take that, Mr.
	Student of History Biden.
	Well, that's why you chuckled at that comment that he made.
	Yes.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	Now, you'd think Biden would remember who's being chased at the gates of hell.
	Oh, please.
	But it's obvious that it was written by someone who just kind of had a vague memory of the comment, a millennial, putting it up on the prompter.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's a great, great combination.
	That's a good catch.
	Catch of the day.
	Thanks.
	Well, here's another thing that's going on.
	The purge.
	I just call it the purge in the show notes.
	I put everything under the purge if it's about January 6th.
	Again, you know, like, Joe and I were talking about, Joe Rogan and I, and, you know, he's like, oh, you can see it as the cops.
	And I said, I don't know, man.
	I just didn't see it that way.
	I didn't see it as an insurrection.
	You know, was there unlawful activity?
	Yeah.
	Was there shit that shouldn't have happened?
	Yeah.
	Was it about to topple the country and upend our democracy?
	No, I don't think so.
	And a lot of things have happened in the Capitol, right?
	Bomb explosions, shootings.
	I mean, there's tons of stuff in history.
	With much worse result, except for the psychological terror that was brought into play here.
	And Chris Hayes of MSNBC takes us to a whole new level with some reporter.
	Now they're going after people, trying to find them and finding reasons that we should arrest them.
	And...
	And I'm sure, look, if you were trespassing and you were destroying property, of course you deserve to be arrested, but you also need to be charged with something and you need to be tried.
	So how long has it been now?
	Half a year?
	Six months?
	People are still sitting in cells?
	And they're looking for 500 people total?
	Well, they got that poor guy who had the horns on his head in solitary.
	Yeah.
	So the most recent guy they picked up It was really for quite legitimate reasons.
	Fans of Lego, like myself, honestly, might be familiar with the brand's architecture line, which I love.
	It's a series of buildable models of famous buildings around the world.
	Okay, first of all, what kind of nerd is this dude?
	I love Lego!
	Please.
	Fans of Lego, like myself, honestly, might be familiar with the brand's architecture line, which I love.
	It's a series of buildable models of famous buildings around the world.
	How old is he?
	Is he 12?
	Well, we don't know because he has that vasectomy look.
	So we don't know if he's...
	By the way, that was confirmed somewhere.
	Did you see that article?
	No, I didn't, but it wouldn't surprise me.
	Someone tweeted this.
	Someone like, hey, how you feel dancing in the end zone.
	And it was an article that said, if you want to look younger, it's proven that a vasectomy helps.
	Hello!
	Science!
	Yeah, that was the big thing in the 20s.
	Yeah, so they just...
	I have the book.
	Well, I'll bet you do.
	All right, back to Chris with his exciting Legos.
	...models of famous buildings around the world, including the Taj Mahal, the Empire State Building, and until its late...
	2019 retirement from the line, because it's changing all the time.
	Believe me, I have to keep track of this.
	The United States Capitol.
	If you could put it together, it's more than 1,000 pieces.
	You can own a detailed model of the building and, quote, discover its architectural secrets.
	Remove the dome to access the rotunda interior depicting the National Statuary Hall with columns, eight statues, and tiled floor.
	Here it comes.
	Well...
	Lego may no longer be manufacturing the model, but one of the Capitol rioters managed to get his hands on it.
	When 27-year-old Robert Morse of Pennsylvania was arrested last month, officers recovered a fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set, according to court documents obtained by the website The Smoking Gun.
	They also found a notebook in his car that contained a list titled, and I quote, Step by Step to Create a Hometown Militia.
	Including reminders like bring assault rifle and four magazines.
	I love this story.
	The guy is a Lego nerd instead of, you know...
	Chris saying, wow, that's cool.
	Fellow Lego nerd.
	Too bad he's in trouble.
	No, no, no.
	He got his hands on a Lego model and you can take the top off and you can view the rotunda as he was planning his militia, his hometown militia attacks.
	So let's bring in the reporter and let's find out, did he take his AR-15 and his four magazines to the Capitol on January 6th?
	Morse showed up at the Capitol on January 6th, dressed in camouflage, wearing a tactical vest containing a pair of scissors and a knife.
	Oh no!
	And a compass!
	He is accused of stealing riot shields from officers, leading and organizing rioters in assaults against police, and entering the Capitol building through a broken window.
	His next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, when a judge will decide if he should remain in jail.
	How do you steal a riot shield from a cop?
	I don't know.
	And he was distributing them.
	He was taking...
	I don't know.
	He took more than one, I guess.
	It doesn't sound like he took them off the cop and then gave it to someone else.
	It sounds like maybe they were stashed somewhere.
	I don't know.
	I do not know.
	Now, I'm sure he broke laws, but let's move these people on and stop the insinuation, which just gets worse in this third and final clip.
	Scott, this detail, all I can imagine is whoever is searching the home, coming upon this, being like...
	Why is he laughing?
	First, it's really serious, like, oh, the insurrection of the violent, and then he's like...
	Scott, this detail, all I can imagine is whoever's searching the home coming upon this being like, well, this seems relevant to what happened.
	Yeah, Chris, a lot of these cases have shapes or patterns or symmetry.
	Shapes.
	This case has a shape all its own.
	Robert Moore.
	Oh, shapes and patterns and symmetries.
	This is how we catch those damn insurrectionists.
	To what happened?
	Yeah, Chris, a lot of these cases have shapes or patterns or symmetry.
	This case has a shape all its own.
	Robert Morrissey is from State College, Pennsylvania.
	And yes, they say he came to the Capitol with a tactical vest and those scissors.
	They also said he had a tourniquet.
	And the feds say he joined multiple fronts of what was a multi-front war January 6th.
	First, scraping with police outside, grabbing a baton, coordinating the theft and movement of police shields.
	Then they say he joined the fracas with the rioters in that west tunnel against police.
	Then they say he broke into and was unlawfully inside a destroyed private hideaway office in the Capitol.
	We knew some of that from the original charging documents.
	But it's what the Fed said when they tried to get him held in jail pretrial that included some of these new revelations.
	They say when they arrested him, they found guns.
	They found that tourniquet.
	They say they found a handwritten notebook with writings that included step by step.
	How to create a hometown militia.
	And yes, they say they found that fully completed Lego set of the U.S. Capitol.
	They mentioned it just once, Chris.
	They didn't provide context as to what they think that meant, but prosecutors rarely put things in documents without some reason.
	So let's just view this through the two lenses.
	Their lens is...
	Somebody was there, did bad stuff.
	But wow, man, we kind of got lucky because this guy, I mean, he had a booklet that tells you how to assemble a homegrown militia in your hometown.
	He also had scissors.
	He had a knife.
	And he had a tourniquet.
	A tourniquet.
	Yeah, the tourniquet.
	They're really emphasizing the tourniquet.
	The tourniquet.
	Yeah, I mean, he was expecting...
	What did the tourniquet consist of?
	It's usually a piece of...
	It's a cloth.
	You know, like a scarf you wrap around something.
	Yeah.
	So...
	And so what?
	What's the tourniquet for?
	None of that is illegal.
	And he has a model Lego of the Capitol building.
	You could also view it in another way.
	These saps were set up by a jean provocateurs who maybe handed him cop shields and dragged him into some tunnel.
	The cop shield thing is very fishy.
	Very odd.
	And so this is clearly someone who just...
	It sounds a little sad, really, with that kind of stuff at home.
	I don't know.
	This does not sound right to me.
	This doesn't sound like a domestic violent extremist.
	No, but lock him up and keep him in jail.
	That's the idea.
	That is the idea.
	I find that troubling.
	I guess.
	How about a couple of global warming clips?
	You can wake me up in the middle of the night for that, John.
	Well, here's the setup.
	Now, this is all from PBS NewsHour.
	And it goes from the setup, which is all these hot, you know, these heat waves that are around here.
	I guess there's one around here somewhere.
	Not here.
	It's the heat waves.
	And then we go into the setups and we hear a lot of dog whistles.
	The way I see it.
	Global warming setup one.
	And William, we know...
	Sorry.
	Somehow that was two.
	My mistake.
	Hold on.
	Oh, that's...
	Oh, it...
	Huh?
	Oh, there it is.
	I see.
	Extreme heat and drought are baking the western United States and Canada again this week.
	Following hundreds of heat-related deaths in the Pacific Northwest last week.
	Record-breaking temperatures are expected to return to California this coming weekend, including in the San Joaquin Valley, which is where William Brangham is currently reporting in New York.
	And he joins me now from the city of Visalia, where, William, you were telling us it's something like 109 degrees, another heat wave coming.
	Tell us what it's like and are officials there prepared?
	Judy, the technical term is it is unbelievably hot out here.
	The National Weather Service issued a warning that starting today through the weekend, there is an extreme heat alert.
	And they're basically advising people that if you don't have to be outside, don't.
	Stay in the shade.
	Be inside if you can.
	Drink plenty of water.
	I mean, the concern, as with all of these heatwaves, is the illness and the death.
	And as you mentioned, I think people don't have a real appreciation of how much heatwaves cause death all over the world.
	It's the leading weather-related killer when it comes to climate events.
	The Pacific Northwest...
	Wait a minute.
	I need to hear that again.
	What did you just say?
	Heat waves cause death all over the world.
	It's the leading weather-related killer when it comes to climate events.
	What are the other climate-related or weather-related deaths?
	Tornadoes.
	Tornadoes.
	Hurricanes.
	Avalanches.
	No, not avalanches.
	Floods.
	Floods.
	Avalanches.
	Volcanoes.
	No, that's not a climate.
	Never mind.
	No, it's weather.
	He said weather.
	That's the thing.
	No, I shouldn't.
	Never mind.
	No volcano.
	Yeah, he said weather.
	Bigfoot.
	Meteorites.
	Just troll room banter.
	It's caused death all over the world.
	Freezing.
	It's a leading weather-related killer in terms of climate events.
	The Pacific Northwest heat wave which we just had that you mentioned killed hundreds of people.
	Two years ago in Europe, many people may not remember, tens of thousands of people died in a heat wave there.
	Same thing back in 2003.
	And so this is the ongoing concern that we see more of these events, that more and more people will lose their lives.
	It's not like the suffering is spread equally.
	The elderly, people with certain medical conditions are most likely to die, the homeless, and people who can't choose to work inside.
	People who don't have adequate housing and people who can't afford to pay the high cost of running their electricity and their air conditioning day after day.
	Wow!
	Wow.
	That's just the setup.
	Oh my goodness.
	That's the setup.
	Do you hear that even he thought it was odd that he was saying...
	And in 2003, we know there was 70,000 people in Europe that died in 2003.
	So it seems like it's even gotten better because last year it was 10,000.
	So it's gotten better, I guess.
	I don't know.
	He felt it was odd too, you could tell.
	Well...
	He brings it home because if you listen to all this and you go, you know what's going to happen.
	Somehow they're going to blame this on climate change, global warming.
	Can they blame it on Republicans?
	White people.
	You know, they kind of inadvertently do, but not Directly like they have done with the vaccination.
	But let's see how this goes.
	And William, we know that there is a considerable amount of research being done about the role that climate change is playing in all this.
	What is known at this point about the connection between the heat and climate change?
	This whole field of research is known as attribution science.
	How much can you attribute a given event to something like climate change?
	What?
	And scientists are getting better and better at zeroing in on which events are really driven or impacted heavily by climate change.
	There was a study just out last week from a European agency that said that the Pacific Northwest heat wave that we all just experienced was almost certainly driven in large part by climate change.
	That it could not have happened and been as bad without climate change.
	June, we know, was the hottest June that North America has ever seen in record.
	Over the last 20 years, the Earth has seen the 19 of the warmest years on record.
	And so, this is what the climate models have always predicted, that climate change...
	It keeps going up as we pump more oil and gas and coal into the atmosphere.
	Temperatures will go up and these extreme events will go up.
	These heat waves, the research is showing that they're more frequent now, they are starting earlier, and they are lasting longer.
	So it is a genuine concern.
	Okay.
	Attribution science?
	Yeah, I'm glad you caught that.
	Yeah, attribution science.
	Did they give a degree in that?
	Attribution science, which is kind of a fancy way of saying finger-pointing, is not a science.
	It's bullcrap.
	This is bullcrap.
	I'm reading all the science explanations of this, and it starts off right off the top.
	Climate and weather are related.
	What?
	What?
	I thought weather's not climate.
	Okay.
	But not the same.
	Here we go.
	Climate describes patterns of weather in an area over long stretches of time.
	Weather refers to specific events such as hot days or thunderstorms, heat waves, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and floods, and Bigfoot.
	Wildfire is not weather.
	I love it.
	Thank you for catching that one.
	And this is Science Magazine.
	When extreme weather occurs, people often want to know if climate change is to blame.
	However, as Stephanie Herring notes, there's no way to answer that question.
	Oh.
	She's a climate scientist at the National Centers for Environmental Information in Boulder, Colorado.
	Any weather event could happen by chance, she explains.
	It could simply be part of the natural variation.
	It's better, she says, to ask about the influence of climate change.
	Get ready.
	A region's climate sets the stage for an extreme event.
	Scientists can then probe, did climate change make some extreme event worse?
	Investigating links between climate and extreme weather is known as attribution science, which is correlation, not causation.
	Such studies can be tricky but not impossible, and in recent years, scientists have developed ways to do it with ever more confidence.
	Scientists use computer models to analyze climate data with math.
	Thank you.
	Wow.
	With math.
	So it's a term made up.
	Great.
	Okay.
	I figured you'd catch it.
	I like it.
	I like it.
	Let's wrap this baby up.
	I appreciate it.
	And William, given all of this, what can local officials, what can residents do to stay safe?
	Well, some of the things that we talked about before, go to cooling centers, like the one that I'm standing in front of here in Visalia.
	The larger issue is, of course, we need to cut our emissions to stop the temperature of the planet going up.
	But on a more localized level, states and cities and counties, there's good research that's showing that you can design cities better.
	You can build buildings smarter, using better materials, more reflective surfaces.
	You can plant more trees that offer a lot of shade.
	Those things are all crucial.
	One of the most important things that researchers I've talked to have said is that strengthening our electrical grid infrastructure is key.
	Ah, there it is.
	Yes.
	Because right now, in Visalia, there's maybe 100,000 people standing around me, living around me, who are protected by the electricity that is fueling their air conditioners.
	If we had a massive blackout in the middle of one of these massive heat waves, and all of a sudden, that is hundreds of thousands of people that It would no longer have the protection of that air conditioning, and you could see a real tragic event occur.
	That's one of the big fears, that as these heatwaves become more common, big stresses on the electrical grid can cause real serious problems.
	It is such a big story, such a serious concern.
	Oh, so serious.
	No wonder young kids are just nihilistic.
	If this is the crap that is being pumped out all day long, eh, we're all going to die anyway, who cares?
	They have no faith in politicians on either side of any aisle or any wing.
	Nope.
	They've completely given up on that.
	I don't blame them.
	These a-holes are responsible for that.
	Yep.
	Oh my goodness.
	I agree.
	It's ruining it for everybody.
	I will say I do have...
	Just one more example of PBS kind of being headed toward being like the national, just bullcrap.
	And just play, this is not to do with the climate change, this is about the hackers.
	And this is the hacker Russian BS from PBS. And listen to the bias of this story and the assumptions, the unproven assumptions that are just thrown in.
	Baseless.
	Baseless assumptions.
	President Biden today pressed Russia's President Vladimir Putin to take action to disrupt ransomware attacks emanating from Russia.
	The leader spoke for an hour by phone in the wake of a string of cyber attacks linked to Russian hackers that paralyzed U.S. businesses.
	Mr.
	Biden warned that the U.S. will, quote, defend its people and its critical infrastructure.
	Well, I'm glad you brought this up.
	And before you go into your analysis...
	Was she talking about Biden when she said the leader?
	Oh crap, I missed that.
	Let me hear that again.
	President Biden today pressed Russia's President Vladimir Putin to take action to disrupt ransomware attacks emanating from Russia.
	The leader spoke for an hour by...
	No, I think she says the leaders.
	Yes, so they're leaders.
	They're both leaders.
	Oh, the leaders.
	You were thinking, the leader, a leader, a glorious leader.
	The leaders.
	I know.
	60 Minutes!
	which is on the CIA broadcasting systems did a very in-depth piece on these hacks and because it is the CIA broadcasting systems I think it's important to go through some clips of this because every single one can be analyzed from this very perspective that this is propaganda it's unproven and there's all kinds of actors and dumb shit was said When
	Presidents Biden and Putin met in Geneva last month, it was the first time that the threat of cyber war eclipsed that of nuclear war between the two old superpowers.
	And SolarWinds was one big reason why.
	Last year, in perhaps the most audacious cyber attack in history, Russian military hackers sabotaged a tiny piece of computer code...
	This is already, all of a sudden now, it's done.
	It's Russian computer hackers.
	What happened to the R-Evil network that might have links to it or that at least is allowed to operate?
	Now it's just facts.
	Do you have any...
	Baseless facts.
	Baseless.
	Baseless!
	Russian military hackers sabotaged a tiny piece of computer code.
	It's important that we listen to this because they're going for some kind of conflict.
	They want it.
	They wanted these a-holes.
	Buried in a popular piece of software called SolarWinds.
	As we first reported in February, the hidden virus...
	What's that?
	Sounds Russian.
	SolarWinds.
	Yeah, sounds like Russian.
	Well, SolarWinds is the company they hacked.
	That's the Austin company.
	I thought they did a piece of software called SolarWinds.
	It's the Austin company.
	As we first reported in February, the hidden virus spread to 18,000 government and private computer networks by way of one of those software updates we all take for granted.
	There it is.
	So first of all, did you know that it went to 18,000 government servers?
	Did you hear that anywhere?
	No.
	18,000.
	And it happened through an automatic update.
	After it was installed, Russian agents went rummaging through the digital files of the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, Treasury, Energy, and Commerce, among others.
	And for nine months, they had unfettered access to top-level communications.
	Would the Chinese be more interested in doing this than the Russians?
	Why are you talking over the clip?
	I'm just asking questions.
	I can't stop myself.
	Wouldn't the Chinese be more interested in doing this than the Russians?
	What are the Russians going to get out of this?
	There is no question.
	It was the Russians.
	Are you being a difficult person?
	Have you had the coronavirus shot?
	We're here to talk to you about the Russians.
	Seriously, no proof has been presented.
	This is just now the Russians.
	And let's bring in Microsoft.
	Brad Smith is president of Microsoft.
	He learned about the hack after the presidential election this past November.
	By that time, the stealthy intruders had spread throughout the tech giant's computer network and stolen some of its proprietary source code used to build its software products.
	More alarming?
	How the hackers got in.
	Piggybacking on a piece of third-party software used to connect, manage, and monitor computer networks.
	I am flabbergasted.
	Hold on a second.
	Microsoft was hacked and they were stealing code?
	Yes!
	What are the Russians doing with this?
	It's China!
	Russia!
	Russia!
	I'd like to know why China wasn't even introduced into this storyline.
	Who else?
	What is...
	Who's the country, the biggest country, one of the biggest countries in the world, only topped by...
	India is 100 million people less.
	So this monster is 1.45 billion people.
	They don't want to pay for Microsoft Windows.
	They would love to have their own operating system, so let's steal some Microsoft code.
	What are the Russians doing with stealing Microsoft code?
	For what?
	They're doing the bidding of Trump.
	It's unbelievable, this reporting.
	Do the people putting this stuff together think that everyone out here is an idiot?
	That's why we're doing this tech news segment.
	We continue with Brad Smith from Microsoft.
	What this attacker did was identify network management software from a company called SolarWinds.
	They installed malware into an update for a SolarWinds product.
	When that update went out to 18,000 organizations around the world, So did this malware.
	The Orion platform is the underlying foundation...
	SolarWinds Orion is one of the most ubiquitous software products you've probably never heard of.
	But to thousands of IT departments worldwide, it's indispensable.
	It's made up of millions of lines of computer code.
	4,032 of them were clandestinely rewritten and distributed to customers in a routine update.
	Opening up a secret back door to the 18,000 infected networks.
	18,000 infected government networks.
	Russia.
	That's an offense, you know.
	If you just pin it on Russia without, you know, baseless any evidence, then people get riled up about it.
	And Brad Smith, I guess, has brought in, you know, Microsoft's shoddy DNA is responsible for all problems.
	I don't want to say that any other platform would necessarily be better if they were the dominant platform.
	But, you know, Microsoft is a pretty jumbly piece of crap, and it's these automatic updates that people just trust like morons.
	Let's continue with Brad.
	When we analyzed everything that we saw at Microsoft, we asked ourselves, how many engineers had probably worked on these attacks?
	And the answer we came to was, well, certainly more than a thousand.
	You guys are Microsoft.
	How did Microsoft miss this?
	I think that when you look...
	At the sophistication of this attacker, there's an asymmetric advantage for somebody playing offense.
	Is it still going on?
	Almost certainly these attacks are continuing.
	I just realized there may be another angle to this.
	This may be the final kickback at Microsoft after the Jedi contract was canceled because, of course, it has to go to Amazon and Bezos.
	Maybe this is also partially...
	Yeah, Microsoft, your code is no good.
	You can't keep the Russians out.
	Why would Brad Smith even agree to this interview, which is clearly not great for Microsoft?
	A couple of the other things to note.
	I think all these theories are good.
	I don't think we have any conclusive evidence of one thing or another.
	No, not yet.
	But a couple of things.
	One, who comes up with this 1,000 engineers to create what?
	A couple of pieces of shit code?
	Are you kidding me?
	I'm not buying that in the least, a thousand engineers.
	We analyzed it, it took a thousand engineers.
	Well, maybe if it took ten engineers, they'd do a better job.
	Anything you want to do on Microsoft Windows takes thousands of engineers.
	The other thing is, once you mention asymmetric attacks, this is nothing...
	The Russians have never done asymmetric anything.
	The asymmetric stuff comes from the Middle East.
	That's where all the asymmetric warfare comes from, everything comes from the Middle East.
	And another bad actor who's not mentioned at all is Iran.
	And how about North Korea?
	North Korea was the one that ransomware'd Sony.
	Yeah.
	You don't hear about those guys at all anymore.
	Well, you'd think they'd mention North Korea, at least because it's a phony, baloney thing to do in the first place.
	But Iran's not.
	I mentioned this on the show before.
	when i went and visited with cloudflare and everyone knows cloudflare they told me that the number one hacker in the world is iran there's where all the attacks come from is where they get all their customers because iran attacks for some reason and they have to use cloudflare to block them and they're number one period and that's they're never mentioned in these reports you know why don't they bring the guy from cloudflare in here He would know more about this than Brad Smith, whatever his last name is.
	Brad Smith, he's very famous.
	He used to run the whole gaming division, the Xbox, and then he moves up.
	Yeah, that convinces me.
	No.
	No.
	He's getting me riled up with these clips.
	Maybe we should just blame it on the French.
	It'd just be funny.
	That would make more sense.
	Alright, let's go back to Brad Smith.
	You know, you said it was...
	Thousands of people.
	I mean, they must have had, you know, complete troll farms and hacker farms and everything ready.
	Thousands of people.
	The U.S. Justice Department acknowledged the Russians spent months inside their computers accessing email traffic.
	But the department won't tell us exactly what was taken.
	It's the same at Treasury, Commerce, the NIH, Energy, even the agency that protects and transports our nuclear arsenal.
	The hackers also hit the biggest names in high tech.
	So what does that target list tell you?
	I think this target list tells us that this is clearly a foreign intelligence agency.
	It exposes the secrets potentially of the United States and other governments as well as private companies.
	I don't think anyone knows for certain how all of this information will be used, but we do know this.
	It is in the wrong hands.
	So, we don't really know what they have.
	Who's running this outfit?
	We don't really know what they got.
	We don't really know how long they were there, what they were looking at.
	We don't really know!
	Is that our government?
	And it started six months ago, so this squarely falls under the Biden administration.
	I think they're afraid to pin it on China because China could eat their lunch in a heartbeat at this point.
	They're so inadequate and just that they're not functional, these people.
	And I think this is part of the proof is that, well, they did it to Ukraine.
	We all remember that.
	For years, the Russians have tested their cyber weapons on Ukraine.
	NotPetya, a 2017 attack by the GRU, Russia's military spy agency, used the same tactics as the SolarWinds attack.
	Sabotaging a widely used piece of software to break into thousands of Ukraine's networks.
	But instead of spying, it ordered devices to self-destruct.
	It literally damaged more than 10% of that nation's computers in a single day.
	The television stations couldn't produce their shows because they relied on computers.
	Automated teller machines stopped working.
	Grocery stores couldn't take a credit card.
	Now, what we saw with this attack was something that was more targeted, but it just shows how if you engage in this kind of tactic, you can unleash an enormous amount of damage and havoc.
	The computers self-destructed?
	Another report I missed!
	Yeah, we didn't get that.
	If computers in Ukraine had self-destructed from a virus, this would be something that would be talked about.
	We've got dudes named Ben and Bernadette's all over the place.
	They would have known this.
	I'm just not buying that.
	So now they bring in Chris Inglis.
	A couple more quickies here.
	Chris Inglis spent 28 years commanding the nation's best cyber warriors at the National Security Agency, seven as its deputy director, and now sits on the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, created by Congress to come up with new ideas to defend our digital domain. created by Congress to come up with new ideas to Why didn't the government detect this?
	The government is not looking on private sector networks.
	It doesn't surveil private sector networks.
	That's a responsibility that's given over to the private sector.
	FireEye found it on theirs.
	Many others did not.
	The government did not find it on their networks.
	That's a disappointment.
	Disappointment is an understatement.
	The Department of Homeland Security spent billions on a program called...
	The guy asks the question, why didn't the government detect this?
	And instead of saying they didn't, because he says it later in his answer, because I guess 16,000 government computers were infected, according to the report.
	18,000 government computer networks is the report.
	Okay, 18,000 government computer networks, which is a lot of computers, got infected and they didn't get caught.
	And he asked the guy, point blank, Why didn't the government catch this?
	It was 18,000 networks.
	And the guy says, well, because we got nothing to do with the private sector.
	That's how he answered it.
	That's correct.
	That's what you do.
	Play it again so everyone gets a good feeling for this bullshit artist.
	Chris Inglis spent 28 years commanding the nation's best cyberwires at the National Security Agency, seven as its deputy director, and now sits on the Cyberspace Solarium Commission, created by Congress to come up with new ideas to defend our digital domain.
	Why didn't the government detect this?
	The government is not looking on private sector networks.
	It doesn't surveil private sector networks.
	That's a responsibility that's given over to the private sector.
	FireEye found it on theirs.
	Many others did not.
	The government did not find it on their networks.
	That's a disappointment.
	Disappointment is an understatement.
	The Department of Homeland Security spent billions on a program called Einstein.
	Stop, stop again.
	So he kind of offhandedly, it seems like he's answering the question, but the question was actually, why?
	Yeah.
	The guy never answers the question, why?
	He says it was a disappointment.
	Yeah.
	What about the why part of the question?
	Why?
	You know, if I ask you something, why did you do that, Adam?
	And you say, ah, it was a disappointment.
	That's not the answer to the question.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, but that's why we're not on CBS making the big bucks.
	No, we're not.
	We don't follow up on that stuff.
	The Department of Homeland Security spent billions on a program called Einstein.
	Remember that?
	We laughed our asses off over that.
	More money down the drain.
	Wait a minute, do we still have a clip of that Einstein crap?
	I remember that being very funny.
	Einstein.
	It's got to be a long time ago.
	No.
	I got a lot of Feinstein, but no Einstein.
	All right, we continue.
	To detect cyber attacks on government agencies, the Russians outsmarted it.
	Okay, so, and this was, I think this was during Obama, the Einstein project, wasn't it?
	It's that long ago.
	I can't remember.
	I'd have to do some research.
	Alright, so, get ready, because we're going to wrap this up with some more amazing comments from this guy.
	This hack happened on American soil.
	It went through networks based in the United States.
	Are our defense capabilities constrained?
	The U.S. intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Defense, can suggest what the intentions of other nations are based upon what they learn in their rightful work overseas, but they can't turn around and focus their unblinking eye on the domestic infrastructure.
	That winds up making it more difficult for us.
	He doubles down by avoiding the obvious.
	18,000 government networks snooping mail, doing all kinds of stuff we don't even really know.
	And all he can say is, well, you know, we don't really have the power to look at commercial networks.
	This sounds to me like a move towards we need to monitor everybody's network.
	And I think there's one additional piece.
	This is where the CIA comes in.
	This is my favorite.
	It's hard to kind of get something like this completely out of the system.
	And they certainly don't understand all the places that it's gone to.
	All of the manifestations of where this virus, where this software still lives.
	And that's going to take some time.
	And the only way you'll have absolute confidence that you've gotten rid of it is to get rid of the hardware, to get rid of the systems.
	Wow.
	So unless you get rid of all the computers and all the computer networks, you will not be sure that you have gotten this out of the systems.
	You will not be.
	Ooh, baby!
	Hardware bonanza coming up, and who knows what's going to be embedded in the new hardware?
	Everybody, swap it out!
	Well, you know, this is part of the thing Microsoft's up to with Windows 11.
	Do tell.
	You have to have a certain chip in order to load it.
	You have to have a little chip in there that calls home and makes sure that you're legit.
	It won't do anything to stop what we just heard about, as far as I can tell.
	But, it's another way of getting in there.
	They want to spy on everyone.
	Yeah, and they want to spy on every government computer.
	This is the CIA. I'm telling you, this is a CIA story.
	CIA, they're obsessed with Russia.
	They haven't been too successful in China.
	Their agents get killed.
	No, the agents all got killed in China.
	They've done nothing about it.
	Yeah, let's go focus on Russia, because we can't beat those guys.
	Those are scary in China.
	Yeah.
	And this is, A, to create strife with Russia.
	And, oh man, that's a bad idea.
	It's also a setup for a cyber pandemic.
	It's a setup for all kinds of things, including forcing corporations out of fear.
	Maybe going direct, you know, again, insurance is important in these games.
	To get people to upgrade their hardware with the new chips and everything so the CIA will have even less trouble spying on anything and anybody they want along with the NSA. And you could, I could see this happening, where these agencies have some microservice architecture that you should go through.
	Which provides you protection.
	Sure.
	For your protection.
	And you use this microservices architecture that the CIA or the NSA or whoever, or maybe some even new agency that just monitors corporate computer systems.
	And it's probably run by the Chinese behind you, all making it even easier for them.
	This is ridiculous what's going on.
	Last clip of the series.
	Since our story first aired, the hacks have kept coming.
	And one of the people you just heard from, former NSA Deputy Director Chris Inglis, was chosen as the country's first national cyber director.
	Reporting directly to President Biden.
	President Putin, for his part, still denies Russia's involvement in SolarWinds.
	So, this guy's been promoted.
	The whole thing.
	Beautiful package on CBS 60 Minutes.
	Thank you very much, Neil Jones, Clip Custodian.
	He put that together.
	Very impressive work.
	Well, stinks to high heaven.
	This is...
	Sadly, you're right.
	I don't know.
	I think we can expect some fun stuff.
	I think...
	No, I'm actually kind of excited about it.
	You know?
	Let's see what their next move is.
	Your move, douchebags.
	Well, China's making some moves that are kind of interesting.
	And have you heard the tribulations, the trials and tribulations of Tesla in China?
	No, I have not.
	Oh.
	This is the same thing that happened with Hollywood.
	You know, you go over there, they treat you like a king, and next thing you know, you're getting no money out of this deal.
	I mean, first they shower you with money and hookers and blow, and then they take away your industry.
	Listen to these two clips.
	This is Tesla 1 in China.
	Tesla in China seems to be having one problem after another.
	It was a company that really seemed like it could do no wrong in China for a long time.
	But over the last several months, we've seen a number of regulatory issues.
	We've seen a lot of bad press in the Chinese media, a lot of criticism on Chinese social networks, all of which in a country like China is in some way tolerated.
	This would not be happening if the government were not okay on some level with Tesla coming in for this sort of criticism.
	Clearly, this sort of honeymoon that Tesla was having in China, just incredible success, almost unheard of success for a foreign company of almost any kind, has come to an end, and they're into a much more difficult period in what is the world's largest automotive market.
	Hmm.
	Where was this report from?
	It all seems to be coordinated by the central government.
	Where was this report from?
	I think this was NTD. Okay.
	I believe it was NTD, but it could have been.
	But here, listen to part two.
	This is where it gets even more weird because you'll hear.
	Originally, in February of this year, there was some news that regulators, including some quite important Chinese market regulation agencies, had summoned Tesla executives for meetings over what the government referred to as quality and safety issues.
	Then we had a very strange incident at the Shanghai Auto Show in April, where a woman, a protester really, got into the show, climbed on top of a Tesla car at the company's booth, and began shouting that a brake failure in her Model 3 had nearly killed four or five members of the company.
	Classic.
	And that, again, is something that went out uncensored on Chinese social media.
	It went viral.
	It was heavily covered in state-controlled media.
	So there was a sense that the government was tolerant of people bringing Tesla in for a fair bit of criticism, and that's something that was quite new.
	And then, most recently, We had news that there will be a recall, in effect, of all of Tesla's cars in the entire country, just about over 280,000 vehicles to deal with an issue with the autopilot software.
	Yeah.
	We want all your cars back in the factory.
	I am no fan of battery cars, but I came across one that I'm kind of liking.
	The Aptera?
	A-P-T-E-R-A? Yeah.
	Have you heard of this?
	I've heard of it, but I'm not visualizing it.
	I'm not familiar with it.
	Aptera.us This is a battery car.
	It's a two-seater, three-wheel vehicle.
	That the whole roof, the whole top of the car is a solar panel.
	Oh yeah, I've seen this thing.
	And because it's so light, it can do a thousand miles on a single charge.
	But as you're driving...
	It's charging.
	Yeah, it's charging.
	I kind of like this.
	It's a dorkmobile, come on.
	If I drove that here in the hill country, there'd be some good old boy with a truck on top of that.
	Shooting at me.
	Monster truck wheels crashing down.
	But I kind of like it.
	It has a whole vibe.
	It's a dorkmobile, you're right.
	But I like it.
	It's kind of cool.
	We have one of our producers that works for NIO, the company in China that manufactures the competitor to the Tesla.
	There's two battery car companies in China and I think they've stolen Tesla's technology and they're just going to move it over to the Chinese companies and they're pulling all the Teslas off the road so nobody gets any ideas.
	Is this over for Tesla in China?
	And it's going to be interesting to see how Elon Musk deals with this.
	Yeah.
	And by the way, if I was Elon Musk and I had this relationship with China where this is happening, do not go up in your rocket.
	Well, as long as he's CEO, there's no way he's going to do that.
	He cannot do that as CEO. There's no way that that can be permitted.
	Really?
	How can Bezos do it?
	Remember, he just resigned.
	He just resigned last week.
	Branson is executive chairman or whatever.
	He's not running the show.
	Elon can't do it.
	There's no way.
	No way.
	Believe me, I don't think he wants to do it.
	Before we take a break, I'm looking at some supply chain news.
	Our producers have been very busy.
	Got some nice charts and graphs.
	The spot rate for a 40-foot container from Shanghai to Los Angeles, that's just for the container, is now $9,631.
	Wow.
	Which is 229% higher than a year ago, according to the Drury World Container Index.
	Interesting.
	In the meantime, another producer writes in, I don't know the context of this environment, but there's a shortage on Pepsi drinks.
	That's all I know, so I don't know more than that, but be on the lookout for it.
	And this has got to be the supply chain issue of the week.
	The coronavirus pandemic has sent supply chains into a tailspin.
	First it was toilet paper.
	Then it was ketchup packets, gnomes, semiconductors.
	Now it's rubber.
	Multiple factors are leading to a major rubber shortage around the world.
	This could be getting a lot worse.
	We could be on the cusp of a rubber apocalypse.
	The global natural rubber market was valued at nearly $40 billion in 2020.
	Demand for rubber is really continuing to increase.
	One analysis predicts the rubber market could be worth nearly $68.5 billion by 2026.
	Rubber is a critical raw material.
	Just think, anytime you're going anywhere, by car, plane, or even by foot, you're using rubber.
	But rubber is also used in your personal protective equipment, like gloves and masks, like the elastics that stretch behind your ears.
	Plus, it's used in literal rubber bands.
	And then there are hair ties, underwear, erasers, condoms, and more.
	Rubber ducts, though?
	Those are plastic.
	It's used in more than 40,000 commercial products.
	You could call it the shortage.
	Some people are referring to it more as a supply chain disruption.
	Rubber apocalypse.
	Rubber is a synthetic product that comes from oil refineries.
	Oh, they showed trees in this report.
	Who uses natural rubber anymore?
	I don't know anything about rubber.
	That's why I'm happy that you have this response.
	This whole report was based on trees and rubber trees and showing the bark or whatever from the rubber trees in the warehouses.
	Well, I'm sure that it's used for some things, but most of the rubber they're bitching and moaning about comes from oil refining.
	It's a synthetic product, synthetic rubber.
	There was never enough rubber to go around when it was coming from the damn rubber trees.
	Okay.
	So maybe this is bullcrap.
	Well, I don't know.
	There's bullcrap.
	There's something up.
	I don't know why this report is.
	I didn't hear about this.
	I'll look into it.
	Well, here's my thinking.
	I remember my mom...
	Rest her soul.
	I remember my mom talking about World War II and how they had to support our boys overseas by not wearing pantyhose so that they would have enough nylon for parachutes.
	And in fact, the women would draw a dark line up the back of their leg to give the illusion that they were wearing pantyhose.
	It was really hose.
	Pantyhose is really...
	Sorry I wasn't around then.
	That's what I remember.
	Pantyhose is fairly modern.
	Do you think that there could be some similar thing here?
	Like, do it for the boys?
	Do it for the troops?
	We need rubber?
	No.
	It's a bullshit story.
	I don't know what the basis for it is.
	The way she revealed the story, she throws in chips because of COVID chips.
	I'm not buying that.
	I don't know.
	I would say that's a news source.
	I would be dubious.
	Was it Cheddar?
	Newsy?
	What's the other one?
	There's a third one.
	Cheddar, Newsy.
	Is there a third one?
	Yeah, there's a third one.
	It's a lame news thing.
	I don't know what it's called.
	I can't think of a third.
	It's all on Pluto.
	You kind of have me after Cheddar, so I'm not sure.
	And Newsy is just...
	No, I have no idea.
	I have no idea.
	Well, I don't know.
	Just keep your eye on it because, you know, she did mention the rubber gloves.
	Blue rubber gloves.
	Blue rubber gloves.
	I'm going to show my sword by donating to No Agenda.
	Imagine all the people who could do that.
	Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
	Yeah, on No Agenda.
	We have a few people to thank for show 1363, starting with Sir Rob Van Dyke in Holland with $100.
	Alex Rickman comes in next from Peck, Michigan, 8008.

	And we had 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 people.
	So that was a winner.
	That's a happy birthday to Tina and Jay from these folk.
	That got a big laugh, by the way, when Tina opened the newsletter yesterday.
	Yeah.
	She really appreciated that.
	Well, she deserves it.
	Terry Lessard, Timothy McGraw, Thomas Nording, Shane Hendren, Dame Jennifer came in from Charleston.
	And she adds to that, July 11th was my dad's birthday as well, and show day would have been his 84th.

	Party indeed, and it was up in Alaska this past weekend.
	This is Lane, Sir Lane, at the Anchorage Meetup.
	Here with two, four, six, eight, what do you call them?
	Fans, I guess.
	And my lovely wife.
	Lisa.
	In the morning, Cutterstone.
	Hi, Lori.
	Oh, sorry, go in the circle.
	Hopefully, former douchebag Jim.
	Justice.
	And this is Shane O'Hare from No Genis Social, and we wanted to tell everybody from Anchorage, Alaska, in the morning!
	All right, Anchorage, thank you.
	A lot of people were doing 10-year reunions of the OG Hot Pockets Tour meetup, which is just heartwarming.
	I believe there was one in, well, it must have been all around Virginia, I think.
	Where did we start off that?
	I think it was Virginia.
	No, it was definitely Virginia, because we borrowed our dame's RV. The one where all the poop came out of the toilet and rolled forward when I braked.
	Anyway, Glenwood, which I think is in that area, they just had a spring meet-up OG Hot Pockets Tour reunion of sorts.
	Hey guys, it's the Rocky Mountain Oysters Shuckers meet-up in Glenwood Springs.
	This is Sir Reddy Kilowatt in the chat room in the morning.
	Hey!
	This is Blue Jay on Nodin' the Social in the morning.
	Hey, Adam, who chat it with you, Lee?
	Hey, this is J.D. Miller, former producer.
	We're sitting out in my yard where you and Mickey on the Hot Pockets Tour had a beer with me and my son and my father several years ago.
	We had a great meet-up, and it was really fantastic.
	I wanted to see you guys are to thank for all of this.
	And we're going to be doing some more of this here in the Roaring Fork Valley.
	So thank you very much.
	In the morning!
	Thank you very much.

	Vive Québec!
	Bonne Poutine!
	Merci beaucoup!
	It's Andrew from Longay.
	Save us, John and Adam.
	Save us, please.
	And stay safe, John.
	I take those pleas serious, ma'am.
	They are.
	They say, save us, please.
	We're here.
	We're not that far.
	We're just up north.
	Lockdown, man.
	The slave states.
	Here's what's on the calendar.
	Today, Fort Myers, Florida, the SWFL inaugural brunch that would be underway already at Exetera Cafe.

	Victoria, BC, Canada.
	That'll be at 6 o'clock at the Six Mile Pub.
	And then on Thursday, show day, the Denver Area Rainstick.

	It's 6.30pm.
	Be in the City Park Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
	It's never good, is it?
	You're burning up.

	We shake the stick.
	We give you water.
	Now you're victims.
	It's a victimhood thing.
	It has to stop.
	And also on the 15th Thursday, Charlotte's Thursday, Thursday monthly meeting at 7 o'clock at Ed's Tavern, and that is in Charlotte.
	And, oh my God, we just have so much throughout the entire month of July, well into August.
	Please go and find one of these meetups.
	They're completely independently decentralized.
	It's really...
	A great way just to meet people who you know at least you'll be safe with them.
	You don't have to have the same opinions, look the same, come from the same backgrounds.
	You have one thing in common.
	You're all citizens of Gitmo Nation.
	Go to NoAgendaMeetups.com to find out where there'll be a meetup near you.
	If you can't find one, you know what?
	Why don't you start one yourself?
	It's easy.
	NoAgendaMeetups.com Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days Dum, dum, dum.
	You I have only one ISO. I have three.
	Okay, well, you're probably going to nail this one.
	Well, let me play.
	I got three, but one of them is disqualified because it's you.
	I don't even know how I ran into this.
	Hold on, let me see.
	What is that?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	If, if, if, if, if.
	Was that me?
	Yeah.
	Hmm.
	Where'd you get that from?
	No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
	If, if, if, if, if.
	That's got to be old.
	Yeah, it's very old.
	Making fun of Obama.
	Then I got, actually, thank you, and it says IDO instead of ISO. Okay.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Okay.
	It's too messy.
	And then nothing.
	There's nothing like it.
	Hmm, here's the only one I have.
	I don't know if it's a contender.
	Poke him in the rear end.
	Poke him in the rear end?
	Yeah.
	Poke him in the rear end.
	Send that one to come as strip blogger.
	I don't know, man.
	I think the one that was nothing is okay.
	It's really borderline.
	There's nothing like it.
	Yeah, okay.
	It's okay.
	Yeah, that's what I said.
	I said it was okay.
	Yeah, we both know it's really no good.
	And it's not happening.
	Let me see.
	I think I have one little fun little thing here before we go.
	Oh, actually, do you want an update on that?
	I'll save that for Thursday.
	I have to give you an update on my septic system because it really is miraculous.
	I've learned now that there's a difference and this is the aerobic system and, you know, it's worth discussing, but we can do that on Thursday.
	And somebody called you out for mixing the term gray water with dry water.
	Yeah, that was dumb.
	And I think as I said it, I knew that was messed up.
	Yeah, that was dumb.
	I've got a couple of things I can finish with.
	I can do the TikTok hit piece that was on NTD, which I've spent sitting around.
	And maybe we should just finish with that.
	Let me do one quickie, one in between.
	One of my biggest pet peeves is the incessant use of the term community by the media.
	Black and brown communities, which is so insulting.
	LGBTQ communities, insulting.
	The Boston Pride organization is dissolving.
	The group has promoted equality for the LGBTQ community for more than 50 years.
	But volunteers say they've received complaints that they are not inclusive enough.
	And in a statement, they say they do not wish to stand in the way of change.
	50 years this group has been together, this community, and now they're dissolving because people are complaining they're not inclusive enough.
	What happened to the community?
	I thought it was a community.
	Don't you all agree in the community?
	It's reminding me of that clip that you might be able to find, which goes way back.
	It's like four or five, six years old from KP Action Local Station where the softball team was kicked out of the gay league because they weren't gay enough.
	Remember that clip?
	Would it be under softball?
	Or gay?
	I don't remember.
	It's a very funny clip.
	Oh, gay.
	There's not that much under gay here.
	Only 8,000 pages.
	Which station would it have been?
	KPIX. KPIX. Maybe it was listed under that.
	No, I don't think I can find it.
	No, I'm not going to find it.
	Yeah, that's too bad.
	Um...
	So I got a couple of things we can do.
	The TikTok hit piece that I thought was...
	I also have a Michael Avenatti supercut of the media fawning over him now that he's been sentenced to two years in jail.
	Well, let's do them both.
	Okay.
	Which one?
	You want yours first or the supercut?
	Yeah, do mine first and I'll finish with it.
	That way I can be attentive.
	TikTok insiders reportedly told CNBC the popular social media app is tightly controlled by its Chinese parent company, and that includes access to its U.S. users' data.
	Some cybersecurity experts say this could effectively end up feeding the Chinese regime, whose approach to intelligence includes the collection of vast amounts of data.
	A recruiter along with four other former employees.
	What?
	I'm going to say, you mean like hacking 18,000 networks?
	You think it'd be something like that?
	Probably.
	...to intelligence includes the collection of vast amounts of data.
	A recruiter, along with four other former employees, told CNBC they're concerned that TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, has access to American user data and is closely involved in TikTok's product development and decision-making.
	They told the outlet there are almost no boundaries between the two companies.
	Cybersecurity expert James Lewis says he is not surprised by the report.
	He says there is no respect for the rule of law or human rights in China.
	Because TikTok is so popular, popular has immense amounts of data on its users.
	And there's a concern that that data could be shared with the Chinese government for intelligence or surveillance purposes.
	TikTok is a popular social app based in Los Angeles.
	It was launched internationally in 2017 by ByteDance.
	Now it has 100 million monthly users in the U.S., most of them teens and young adults.
	TikTok's former employees told CNBC when an American employee tried to get a list of global TikTok users, including Americans, with some specific features.
	They had to reach out to a data team in China for access.
	The China team could pull up all the information TikTok had about those users.
	With their specific IDs, the sources said this is common practice at TikTok.
	Huh.
	Well, I have some thoughts.
	First of all, TikTok's algorithm is the best in the business.
	It is.
	I agree.
	I mean, if you're interested in, my favorite is the clothes change.
	I keep telling Tina, I want to do one of those.
	Do one.
	It's a lot of editing.
	I don't know how to do it.
	I'm not a TikToker.
	I'm a podcaster, damn it, not a TikToker.
	So it's really, really good.
	And if you like cake, you've got to just cake stuff.
	It really knows what you want and the advertising, the algorithm is just so incredibly good.
	I also think that this may be part of a discreditation program that we'll see ongoing.
	As it's really hurting Instagram, all the hip-hoppers are leaving Instagram.
	Well, not leaving, but they're really posting on TikTok.
	That's where music is being broken these days.
	Not on the radio.
	No, no, no.
	It's on TikTok.
	And they did the whole same thing.
	They have the whole catalog.
	They know how to do it.
	It's really good.
	And in addition to that, I don't know if you know this, but since Apple's new iOS release, advertising is now shifting to Android because they just can't get the data anymore.
	This is really new.
	Explain.
	Apple now forces people to acknowledge and opt in if they want to share information, i.e.
	tracking data, from apps they use on the iPhone.
	And most people don't like that, so it's no.
	And now the data is drying up, particularly hurting Facebook, Instagram.
	They've got troubles now.
	And the ad buyers, since they can get a lot of extra data...
	Or all the data they're used to from the leaky-ass Google-managed Android.
	They're just shifting their money over there.
	And I don't know.
	I think there's big changes ahead.
	So TikTok may play a role in that.
	I'm not sure.
	They've got a lot of data.
	So what is that?
	Either we're discrediting them to get rid of them or we want them.
	I'm not sure.
	We'll find out soon enough.
	What I did realize, and I didn't know this...
	Apple actually has an advertising network.
	And they are now going to give...
	And the main was on their apps like their news app and their weather app.
	And that's where they sell ads.
	I didn't know that.
	And they have...
	They now have...
	They give their buyers extra information.
	That you can't get with any of the other systems, which some are calling a problem.
	I think that they're probably really smart.
	It's like you do a buy on Apple, you find out who it is, or at least some identifiers, and you do a small little test buy so you know what works, and then you just take all the rest of your money over to Android and deploy exactly what you learned.
	I think that's the way to go.
	Yeah, it's kicking the tires and then buying online.
	Yeah.
	All right, Michael Avenatti, this is now, oh my goodness, how many years ago is he on the scene?
	About four, I'd say, when the Russian collusion started.
	Well, actually, it was before Russian collusion.
	It was the Stormy Daniels.
	Yeah, the Stormy Daniels thing.
	He was, I believe, in the span of a few weeks, he'd appeared on cable news channels 157 times.
	Yeah, they were talking on MSNBC about getting him to run for president.
	So this is a supercut.
	It's been going around, but not everyone sees these things.
	Of the mainstream media, in particular MSNBC, other NBC-related services, and CNN just drooling over him.
	Earlier this week, he's already been in custody for a while, I think.
	He was sent to jail for extorting Nike, very much like he ripped off, like allegedly he ripped off other clients, including Stormy Daniels.
	And he's just a sleazeball.
	He's a sleaze.
	Everybody knew it, except for the mainstream, because he was going after Donald Trump.
	He was hero of the stupid!
	This is Donald Trump's worst nightmare.
	Michael...
	Once again, it's Michael Avenatti.
	Let's bring in Michael Avenatti.
	Michael Avenatti.
	Michael Avenatti, thank you very much.
	He's out there saving the country.
	Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the republic.
	You are something of a folk hero now.
	I owe Michael Avenatti an apology.
	I've been saying enough for writing, Michael.
	I've seen you everywhere.
	What do you have left to say?
	I was wrong, brother.
	You have a lot to say.
	I am just dying to hear what you think.
	These people all like you.
	I'm the only person right here Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller.
	We think you guys are the tip of the spear that's going to take down Donald Trump.
	Michael Avenatti's a beast.
	Okay, that's true.
	He's a beast.
	He's a beast.
	I hand it to her, and I hand it to Michael Avenatti.
	But he has a bigger calling here, that being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's doing.
	No one has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti, and Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name.
	That's fascinating.
	Donald Trump is terrified of Michael Avenatti.
	Maybe it's Trump a run for his money than anybody else, Michael Avenatti.
	Existential threat to the Trump presidency.
	The Democrats could learn something for you.
	You are messing with Trump a lot more than they are.
	He has no doubt created sheer panic in Donald Trump's very fragile mind.
	Michael Avenatti is laying down the law as guest co-host.
	And is he really thinking about running for president?
	One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender is because of your presence on cable news.
	You look at the field of Democrats right now, and Avenatti's the one who stands out.
	If they decide they value a fighter most, people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avenatti.
	Yeah, go ahead, believe everything they say.
	They're so right, these people.
	Right on!
	That pretty much says it all.
	And that wraps up our deconstruction for today's episode, 1363.
	Happy birthday, Jay.
	Happy birthday to the love of my life, Tina Marie the Keeper.
	And coming up next, we've got Mo Facts with Adam Curry, part two of the We Are People two-part series.
	It's a long one, but you can hear that on noagendastream.com.
	Go to trollroom.io.
	End of show mixes.
	We have the clip custodian himself with a very violent, nice end of show mix there.
	We've got...
	Oh, we'll play the Chris Wilson pooping in the streets.
	And Tom Starkweather will take us home as we go door to door.
	Coming to you from the heart of Hill Country, Texas.
	FEMA Region No.
	6 in the morning, everybody.
	I'm Adam Curry.
	And from northern Silicon Valley, where the fog bank is still out there and...
	Well, I've got a birthday party tonight.
	I'm John C. Dvorak.
	We return on Thursday.
	Please join us and remember us at dvorak.org.
	Until then, everybody, go Italy!
	Adios, mofos!
	Adios, mofos!
	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.
	Hey, Bill, what happened to Jim?
	He's dead.
	Oh, the vaccine must have been working.
	Press is bad.
	To bananas.
	These are some of the smartest people on the planet.
	So let's just do it.
	You scape it out.
	You manage the hell out of this operation.
	Incredibly wonky technical thing.
	Right turns, left turns, right turns, left turns.
	We will not stop working.
	Viruses cannot mutate if they don't replicate.
	Unbelievable!
	We can't control Mother Nature, no one can.
	Hell's over.
	They get dumped.
	I'm gonna roll this down like GTA. Then they may take our lives!
	But they'll never take freedom!
	Anarchy, anarchy, anarchy!
	We're gonna get you vaccinated and my dog is gonna like it.
	Judgment is coming out that you may be able to even communicate the vaccine, the, uh, the, uh, um, the new, uh, variant to your pets.
	Oh, oh, oh, no!
	Lock it down!
	Lock down stay-at-home order!
	Dress is bad!
	Yeah!
	So bananas, so bananas, so bananas, so Precious bed.
	Yeah.
	So bananas.
	Precious bed.
	Yeah.
	So bananas.
	Fresh is back.
	Yeah.
	So bananas.
	Lightweight.
	What do you mean, lightweights?
	Oh, no.
	San Francisco's got them.
	They got RVs.
	They got trailers.
	They got...
	People living in their cars.
	They got people on the streets.
	They live in tents.
	They're shooting up.
	It's unbelievable.
	Hundreds of thousands of homeless eating from garbage cans in America.
	And pooping on the streets in San Francisco.
	And then there's nothing better when you're pooping on the streets in San Francisco.
	Calling out around the world.
	Be careful where you put your feet.
	Salmon's here and the smell is ripe.
	I'm pooping in the streets.
	Here in San Francisco.
	It's the sea.
	Drop one in New Orleans.
	It's the sea.
	All you need is homeless, more homeless, and junkies everywhere.
	There'll be crazies crying and pieces flying, moving in the streets.
	It doesn't matter if you're there, just as long as you don't care.
	Come on everybody, take a dump, and blame it all for the players that have strung.
	Yeah, we're pooping, pooping in the streets.
	Come on now, we're pooping.
	How did anyone know that the bag of poop on the San Francisco street, how did anyone know that it was 20 pounds?
	It was like 20 pounds of human waste!
	Like, how did anyone...
	Hey, you're walking down the street, what is that, Bill?
	Oh, it looks like a bag of poop.
	Hold on a second, I've got a postal scale with me.
	All your drive times are going to come in in the green this morning, so no issues to worry about for your morning commute.
	30% of U.S. adults still don't want to get the COVID vaccine, but they may not have much of a choice.
	In 24 hours, every Friday night.
	24 hours of you, this month.
	Unfortunately for Americans, the Biden administration views high gas prices as a feature, not a bug.
	One, targeted by community door-to-door outreach to get remaining Americans vaccinated by ensuring they have the information they need on how both safe and accessible the vaccine is.
	You get a text back with the places you can get a shot.
	When you guys walk up to the door and somebody says they haven't got vaccinated, what do you tell them then?
	We say, well, this is your lucky day because we're going to sign you up for a vaccine.
	I'm not sure if such a program actually exists or if President Biden was confused.
	There are proposals to severely restrict the freedom, freedom of movement for people who aren't vaccinated.
	But now all of a sudden he says, and by the way, we're going to send grassroots, low-level government workers to your house.
	And while some people may see this as a public education push, which is always a good thing, the more education the better, other people may see this as confrontational.
	You can limit individual rights to protect public health, and one way you can do it in that case is require vaccination.
	Or text your zip code to 438829.
	The government has no database to track who is vaccinated.
	The best podcast in the universe!
	Adios, mofo.
